[CHUCKLES]

Pass it on

Lesson learned

I think we should pull over

and pee.

We're almost there.

Just hold it.

I gotta go pee right now.

You can hold it

a while longer.

How do you know

how long I can hold it?

This is the first time

you brought up peeing.

You'd have said something

earlier if it were getting bad.

Well, I had to go

before we left, so...

Well, I gotta go too, but I

haven't said anything about it

because I got my priorities

in line.

I need to pee.

You gotta be kidding me.

I like him up front

Down home

Mama's boy, homegrown

Pumped up and ready to play

I like a six-pack

Jet-black

1950s Cadillac

Set to make out

Get away

I say whoo, whoo

Baby, this train is ready

To roll

[BRAKES SCREECH]

Good girl

Gone back to the world

You can't see nothing

but wall.

Come on.

She's got this security

because of crazy fans.

You mean people like us?

We should have flat-ironed.

It's so fancy.

Move over.

Hello.

It's Ada, Justine

and Piper.

[DOOR BUZZES]

JUSTINE:

Does she live here by herself?

It's just so big. She must have

her mama and daddy.

Maybe some cousins.

- Hey, girls.

- Hi.

- Have trouble finding the place?

- No, ma'am.

- Uh, Marq.

- Hi.

Our Meemaw made this.

Coconut custard.

Well,

that is so sweet of her.

She didn't know

when she was making it

that it was for you.

Ah. Okay. Well, come on in.

Would you, uh...?

Would you get the door?

So, uh, was your mother okay

with you coming to see me?

She's real busy at the caf.

So we didn't tell her.

I guess you and Mama

aren't really friends?

You're gonna need to tell

your mama you came to see me.

We will.

It's just the timing

wasn't good.

So you live here all alone,

Miss Marq?

No, I share the place

with my two best friends.

Wanna meet them?

Yes, ma'am.

[WHISTLES]

Caesar!

[BARKING]

- ADA:
They're big.

- I could almost ride

- one of those guys.

- Hey.

- Ha-ha-ha. they're real friendly.

- Oh, so cute.

When they're not trying

to end squirrels on Earth.

Are you hungry or...?

- Or, uh, thirsty or anything?

- ADA:
No, ma'am. No.

- No. Not me.

- Should've told you

to bring your swimsuits.

I keep the pool warm.

Oh, shoot.

We can swim any ole time.

Can't talk to you

any ole time.

You sounded like your daddy

just then.

Thanks, ma'am.

Miss Marq,

how did you meet our daddy?

MARQ:
We were, uh... We were

both getting our cars fixed.

And the mechanic's wife

went into labor,

and he just took off.

So the two of us

were just sitting there

and I started

to hum this tune

and then your daddy

joined in and...

And then we ended up, uh,

writing a song

called, um,

"Waiting for Answers."

- Was it any good?

- It wasn't half bad.

People thought

it was about waiting for love.

But it was about waiting

for a fan belt.

[ALL LAUGH]

And then after that?

We got to be friends

and, um...

we wrote all kinds of songs

that summer.

And, uh, started performing.

And you knew our mama?

Yes. I met her.

We didn't really spend

a lot of time together.

Brian fell hard for her,

fast.

Things moved very quickly

for your mom and dad.

But she never liked

his music?

No, no, no,

she loved his music.

I'd say

she was his biggest fan.

She's not now.

We didn't even know

he ever played clubs

or nothing like that.

You know,

I can't speak for her, but it...

It might just be too hard.

Music, it touches your soul.

Yeah.

Without music,

life would be a mistake.

Love that.

Nietzsche said it.

I'm just repeating.

Book smart.

I know it looking at her.

It's the haircut.

Well, Justine's not just

interested in photography.

I also love horses.

And books.

Books and horses,

- in that order.

- Heh.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Let's go inside. I...

I have something that I...

I want you guys to listen to.

Come on.

[SIGHS]

[GUITAR PLAYING]

BRIAN:

It's time.

[MARQ SIGHS OVER RECORDING]

BRIAN:

I think you got it.

MARQ:

Um, we'll give it a shot.

BRIAN:

Just keep it simple.

MARQ:
Why don't I do

the harmony on...?

On this...? On this one?

BRIAN:

All right.

- That's Daddy, Piper.

- MARQ:
You ready?

BRIAN:

I was born ready, girl.

One, two, three.

We don't run

We don't compromise

We don't quit

We never do

We look for love

And we find it in the eyes

The eyes of me

And the eyes of you

BOTH:
You are the road

You are the only way

I'll follow you

Forever more

We'll look for love

We'll find it in the eyes

The eyes that see

Through all the doors

There is a train

That races through the night

On rail...

Your daddy wrote that

when he met your mama.

He did?

I contributed a little bit,

but it's mostly his.

Our daddy wrote a song

for our mama.

Oh, he wrote lots.

He was amazing with words.

Loved poetry.

I never pictured him

as a poem-y kind of guy.

He was.

Miss Marq,

we need to learn

how to play that song.

You are the road

You are the only way

MARQ:
Now... We're gonna...

We're gonna just really...

- So you go ahead and...

- ADA:
All right.

...get into it.

Give it more gusto.

ALL:

...are the road

You are the only way

I'll follow you

Forever more

We look for love

We find it in the eyes

The eyes of me...

...is not gonna believe

we met Marq Dunn.

I bet we'll see her

- all the time.

- All the time.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- Yes, I...

Mr. Monroe.

Mr. Monroe?

We're here to see C.J.

He's probably napping.

But also we came here today

to say thank you.

This is for you.

It's saltwater taffy.

WOMAN [OVER PA]:

Phone call for Mr. Deacons.

Samuel Deacons,

you have a phone call.

[]

ADA:

We shouldn't be eating this.

MARQ:
So that's why

the numbering system

is so good for transposing

from one key to another.

And the second part

of the numbering system,

it tells you how many beats

in each chord.

So that's one chord,

for two measures.

So in this case, one is G.

ALL:

One two, one two, one two

[ALL LAUGHING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING

AND LAUGHING]

You girls got plans later?

I told my friend Declan

we'd see him

because we're in town.

Maybe you wanna meet me

in a few hours

and bring your friend?

Back here?

No. I'm going out too.

I'll get you the address.

Yeah.

[]

Are you sure

this is the right address?

Let me check again.

- DECLAN:
Hey, hey, hey.

- Hi.

- ADA:
Hi.

- How y'all doing?

Well, we're lost.

This is the address

she gave us.

Well, there's lots

of great music in church

so maybe she wants you

to hear some?

Okay.

Okay.

- How you doing?

- I'm good. How are you?

Yeah. I was supposed

to be here earlier. I am sorry.

- You found us!

- ADA:
Ha! We did.

TED:
So you didn't tell

them you were meeting them

- at the studio?

- I wanted to surprise them.

You done that. Heh.

Hello, Nietzsche.

Ma'am.

It's Marq.

- Right.

- Declan, glad you could join us.

So nice to meet you, ma'am.

Thank you so much

for this surprise.

Girls,

I wanna show you something.

ADA:
Are we gonna hear

you record a song?

No, we're gonna hear you

record a song.

Are you serious?
