Hit me with your best shot

Come on!

Hit me with your best shot

Hit me with your best shot

Fire away

Hit me with your best shot

Why don't you hit me

With your best shot?

Hit me with your best shot

Fire away

Hah!

-Ai! Jesus.

-No, Chico. Jesus is my brother.

Oye, Dennis told me to tell you

to come in early tomorrow.

Yeah, sure. Whatever, man.

I need to go get ready. l have a big date

tonight with Sherrie. Wish me luck.

Yeah, whatever that means. Okay, bye.

So long

I've been looking too hard

I've been waiting too long

Sometimes l don't know

What I will find

I only know it's a matter of time

When you love someone

It feels so right

So warm and true

I need to know if you feel it too

Maybe I'm wrong

Won't you tell me

If I'm coming on too strong?

This heart of mine has been hurt before

This time l wanna be sure

Hey, girl.

I've been waitin' for a girl like you

To come into my life

I've been waitin' for a girl like you

A love that will survive

I've been waitin' for someone new

To make me feel alive

Yeah, waitin' for a girl like you

To come into my life

-Won't you come into my life?

-Won't you come into my life?

Wow. It's like a giant velvet blanket

covered in diamonds.

Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a little different

than Tulsa, Oklahoma.

So, what did your mom think

about the big move to L.A.?

She thought it was stupid.

My dad just totally didn't get it.

His advice

"You're gonna fail anyway,

so why not fail closer to home?"

Okay. Total optimist.

What about your folks?

What did they think of the big move?

Um....

Not a whole lot really.

I was raised by my grandma.

Yeah, she, by the way,

was all for me getting out of Oklahoma.

-Really?

-Mm.

Yeah, she said to me:

"Honey, there ain't nothing for you here...

...and the last thing that I want you to do

is wind up stuck here like me."

Man, l adore her.

You're a nice guy, aren't you?

I try to be.

Why?

She wanted to know.

Oh, my God,

I can't believe I'm actually here.

I'm so happy.

You're so good

When we make love

It's understood

It's more than a touch

A word we say

Only in dreams could it be this way

When you love someone, yeah

Really love someone

Now I know it's right

From the moment I wake up

Till deep in the night

There's nowhere on earth

That I'd rather be

Than holding you tenderly

-I've been waitin' for a girl like you

-I've been waitin' for a boy like you

-To come into my life

-To come into my life

-I've been waitin' for a girl like you

-I've been waitin' for a boy like you

-A love that will survive

-A love that will survive

-I've been waitin'

-I've been waitin'

-For someone new

-For someone new

-To make me feel alive

-To make me feel alive

-Yeah, waitin' for a girl like you

-Yeah, waitin' for a boy like you

-To come into my

-To come into my

-Life

-Life

Wait.

-What?

-You're gonna sing me a song.

-Oh, no. Oh, no, no, l can't.

-Ha, ha.

Sherrie.

You are gonna sing

whether you like it or not.

-Now, breathe!

-Hey.

Don't be nervous.

Okay, uh....

This is something l kind of started

working on after we met last night.

Just a small-town girl

Livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin'

Anywhere

A singer in a smoky room

The smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

And it goes on and on and on.

Heh. I love it.

It's so beautiful.

I can't believe you wrote that.

How'd it feel?

Uh....

The breathing really helps.

Just a small town girl

Mmm, lonely world

She took the midnight train

Going anywhere

It was actually a bus...

...but l think train sounds better.

What sounds better is you singing it.

Really?

You like me singing?

It's one of the most beautiful voices

I've ever heard.

There you go!

Come on!

No, no, no.

You have to go back to work.

Oh, like, now. Okay.

Right, right. Yep. You got that?

God hates rock 'n' roll!

Go back to church!

Get off the Strip already!

Okay. Okay. Okay.

-Sh*t. Our opener just dropped out.

-Concrete Ballz?

-In rehab. There are six.

-Both of them?

-Jesus, that band's got a lot of balls.

-Betty Ford has a group rate.

-Think they'll do therapy in pairs?

-Knock it off.

Look, we have to find an opener

in the next two hours.

Don't stress, man.

We'll work this out together.

-What about you?

-Yeah, right.

-Why not?

-Not gonna happen.

-Are you kidding me?

-Sherrie!

What about Drew?

Drool are very expensive.

Not Drool. Drew.

What?

Drew? That Drew? Our Drew?

-He's better than Concrete Ballz.

-Good point.

-Concrete Ballz are very heavy.

-And he'll do it for free.

Baby, baby, baby.

Come on, nobody cares

about the opening act anyway.

-No offense.

-None taken.

Dennis, come on. What do you say?

Okay.

Call your band.

Guys! Guys!

We're opening up for Arsenal.

Doesn't anyone just wanna work

in the bar industry anymore?

-Dennis. Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-We're gonna blow you away.

-You're gonna blow me, all right.

Three songs. No covers. l need you guys

to be amazing tonight so start drinking...

...now.

-I love you--

-Shh!

Just go up there and kill it.

You're gonna be amazing. Go!

Go! Go.

Go on!

Well, kiss him goodbye.

What do you mean?

The spotlight doesn't just light them up.

It makes us disappear.

You'll see.

Sayin' "I love you"

Is not the words

I want to hear from you

It's not that l want you

Not to say, but if you only knew

How easy

It would be to show me how you feel

More than words

Is all you'd have to do

To make it real

Then you wouldn't have to say

That you love me

'Cause I'd already know

-Hey, I'm gonna take my break.

-Okay.

Excuse me, sunshine.

Testing. Testing.

I have an adequately sized,

uncircumcised penis.

Penis. Penis.

-And smashing set of balls.

-Okay, I think--

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Say again, whoa!

What are you doing?

The mike's not prepped yet.

Right. Now it's ready.

Thanks.

Cowboys.

Sorry, guys.

Drew...

...I can see you're nervous.

Pretend like nobody's watching you.

You know? Connect with something powerful

and emotive deep down.

In my case, that's Little Lonny.

In your case,

it might be something different.

Just imagine yourself completely alone

with something that you love.

Okay.

How l love the way you move

And the sparkle in your eyes

There's a color deep inside them

Like a blue suburban sky

I don't need to be the king of the world

As long as I'm the hero

-Of this little girl

-Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

-Heaven isn't too far away

-Heaven isn't too far away

-Closer to it every day

-Closer to it every day

No matter what your friends say

-I know it we're gonna find a way

-More than words

-Is all you have to do to make it real

-You have to do to make it real

-Then you wouldn't have to say

-Then you wouldn't have to say

-Heaven isn't too far away

-Heaven isn't too far away

Heaven isn't too far away

More than words

Yeah, heaven isn't too far away

More than words

'Cause I'd already
