here.

By the way, I'm not

working here, I just quit.

What do you mean you quit?

Look, I mean, whether

you believe it or not,

you inspired me.

I inspired you?

Yeah

you told me I needed to start

dreaming.

So, that's what I'm doing.

I don't know what it all

means, but I'll figure it out.

Maybe I'll meet Anais nin along

the way.

She was a metaphor, you idiot.

Wow, you did it man,

you're actually leaving.

Send me some pictures of

those la hotties, alright?

First chance I get, I

come crash on your couch.

Awesome.

Come on!

Oh, ain't that sweet.

Ah, shut up Pete.

Here.

Take this.

Have fun.

Do good.

I don't want you to have to

give head

for your first month's rent man.

Alright?

That was cool, in an assholey

way.

I don't think he knows any

other way.

Danny?

Don't forget these.

Mom, I don't really have room.

Oh, they're just sandwiches.

Nothing French, I promise.

Just make me feel better,

knowing you have a full belly.

Alright.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too mom.

I'll try to make it back for

Christmas.

Oh well, actually, we're

not going to be here.

Your dad, finally bought

tickets.

I'm going to Paris.

That's amazing.

Mom, I'm so happy for you.

So, you got everything?

Yeah

yeah, I think so.

Well, okay then.

Dad, I didn't mean to like...

hey, forget it.

Okay?

Go do what you gotta do.

Look, you remember this

is always your home.

Yeah

okay?

You are always welcome here.

You ever get in a situation,

and you need help, you call me.

Right?

I'll do it.

What are you looking at?

Go on, get out of here.

Go.

Go!

Warren?

What are you doing?

Packing up the last of my

things.

Why?

You haven't heard?

Danny Whitaker's enrolled in

classes

at an art center in Los Angeles.

So Janet and I tied?

No, no, no.

One of her girls passed

on a scholarship to beaver

for the peace corps.

So you won!

I won!

You won!

I'm sure Janet will land on her

feet.

Sure she will.

But you won.

Thanks don.

Way to go.

F*** you Janet!

This is Phil on the hill.

This next one's for my buddy

Danny

who's leaving oil city

for the city of angels.

Take care buddy.

Phil, unlock the b*tch door.

I never seen you look

like this without a reason

this is a country station!

Another promise fallen through

another season

passes by you

shock

I never took the smile

away from anybody's face

and that's a desperate way to

look

for someone who is still a

child

in a big country

dreams stay with you

like a lover's voice

fires the mountainside

stay alive

yeah?

I think I got the wrong house.

Danny?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I uh

how did you find me?

I um, I just asked around

Jack's bar.

Wow, that's pretty resourceful.

So is uh, that your boyfriend

in there?

No, no, he's dating my roommate.

Oh!

No!

Um.

Yeah, I just wanted to let you

know

I'm going to be leaving oil

city.

No way!

Yeah, assuming my car holds up,

I'm gonna be a struggling

artist in the California

sunshine next week.

Danny that's awesome.

Congratulations!

I uh, finished this.

Here.

Oh my god, Danny.

It's beautiful.

Thanks.

Alright, well, I'd better get

going.

You know, next stop Graceland,

so...

whoa, whoa, whoa, you

have to stick around

and let me show you around

Pittsburgh.

Okay.

One condition.

Oh?

No more blind folds.

Okay

yeah?

So take that look out of here

it doesn't fit you

because it's happened doesn't

mean you've been discarded

pull up your head off the

floor

come up screaming

cry out for everything

you ever might have wanted

I thought that pain and truth

were things that really

mattered

with every single hope you had

shattered

shock one two

I'm not expecting to

grow flowers in a desert

but I can live and breathe

and see the sun in wintertime

in a big country

dreams stay with you

like a lover's voice

fires the mountainside

stay alive

in a big country

dreams stay with you

like a lover's voice

fires the mountainside

stay alive

fast cars and cigarettes

lipstick and silhouettes

the night's still young

there's so much to be done

fast food and safety nets

we'll close the laundromats

there's so much to be done

when you are young

the world's all mine

with a soldier on the line

the world's all mine

with a soldier on the line

I've got you by my side

tonight

we've got nothing to hide

okay

grandpa, I would like you to

meet someone.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I've got something inside

ugh!

Eew!
