Is with you

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

I want your love

I want your touch

Yeah, all I wanna be

Is with you

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

I want your love

I want your touch

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

See the fire in your eyes

Light in your smile

All I wanna be is with you

All I wanna be is with you

Good job.

- That was awesome. So good.

- Oh, thank you.

I knew you were good

but that was ridiculous.

- Thank you.

- Guys, that was magic.

- That's what I was telling her.

- That was wizardry.

I need three more months

of that. Okay?

- You got it. You can do it.

- All right. All right.

Perfect. Perfect.

Do you know any more

of my songs?

Okay, I always thought this song

needed a little ladies' touch.

How about y'all?

That may be true, but I don't

see a lady up here right now.

Ooh...

Jed, you just try to

sing the song,

and I'll see what I can do.

I've been waiting for you

To come along

Seeing notes on a page

But not the song

Had a hole in my heart

A pain so strong

Only a woman like you

Could take me on

There's a plan for us

A hand divine

The waiting was worth it

Now you're my wife

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Where's Ray?

He's asleep.

Good.

Hi.

I'm really tired, Jed.

Me too.

I'm exhausted.

I've been gone a long time.

How long are you home this time?

The tour was great, Rose.

Thanks for asking.

Had a great time.

I know how the tour was.

I have the Internet.

It's how I get to know

my husband.

You have the money too, right?

You think that's what

I care about?

I think you care about

your dad and I can feel it

every time I'm laying

in bed by myself.

Thinking about

all you care about.

Rose, if that was all I

cared about, I could get it.

I wouldn't have to come home.

Can we at least talk first?

"Hi, honey, how was your day?

How was your year?"

Don't exaggerate. Don't act

like I haven't seen you

and we haven't had the

same fight every two weeks.

I was trying to get you

to do something romantic.

I was trying to do

something romantic.

Ask you to do something

besides just grab me.

How awful for you.

To feel desired by your spouse.

- It's a terrible thing.

- Leave me alone, Jed.

Forgive my insensitivity,

but I don't have a lot

of experience in that.

Maybe you can tell me

what that's like.

Leave me alone!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said that.

- Hey, come here.

- Hey. Hey, buddy.

- What's wrong, Mom?

- Hey. Oh, nothing, baby.

Everything's fine.

It's okay.

I just miss your daddy.

That's all.

Let's go to bed.

Come, my beloved.

Let us go to the countryside.

You old buzzard. Oh!

What a big boy. Ha-ha-ha.

- Unh! Let Pop-Pop put you down.

- Ha, ha. Hey, Daddy.

Let us go early to the vineyards

to see if the vines have budded.

- Hey.

- Shep.

How you doing? Welcome.

Ha, ha. Hey,

you little rascal.

What are you doing, buddy?

Come back here.

- Daddy? You all right?

- Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm all right.

That little rascal.

I'm gonna go over here

and work this other row, hon.

All right.

Oh, come on, buddy.

Come on.

Oh! Oh, you got me.

You got me.

I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.

You got me. I'm done.

You gonna help me?

All right.

- Jed.

- It's all right.

I found this.

- Oh, okay. All right.

- What are you doing, buddy?

- I'm making them grow faster.

- Ha, ha. No.

You're making them

grow faster, huh?

Oh, buddy

that's not how it works.

If you force them,

you'll get bad grapes.

- You want bad grapes?

- Yes.

No.

No, you don't want bad grapes.

- Yes, I do.

- Ha, ha.

- Treat them right.

- Okay.

- Give them time.

- Okay.

And when they're ready,

they'll let you know.

Okay.

Okay.

I undertook great projects.

I built houses

and planted vineyards.

In all this,

my wisdom stayed with me.

Have fun with your grandpa,

okay?

We'll be back in a couple hours,

hon.

All right, Daddy. Bye.

Come to Europe with me.

Please.

I'm hoping

we can come visit soon.

No, Rose, not visit.

Come with me.

I can't, Jed.

You've seen him lately.

I can't leave him.

Not now.

Okay.

I understand.

And when I surveyed

all my hands had done,

what I had toiled to achieve,

everything was meaningless.

A chasing after the wind.

Nothing was gained

under the sun.

There was a man all alone.

There was no end to his toil.

Yet his eyes were not

content with his wealth.

Hey, you're growing, buddy.

"For who am I toiling?"

he asked.

"And why am I depriving

myself of enjoyment?"

Whoever loves money

never has enough.

Oh

Oh

Oh

Love is the power

That heals

Thank you, Glasgow!

Thank you, Dublin!

Thank you, London!

- I love you! I love you!

- Ha-ha-ha.

This too is meaningless.

Ow! Ha-ha-ha.

Okay, all right.

All right, shut up, people.

Uh, Mr. King, your turn.

Uh-oh.

- I'm good. I'm good.

- Oh, yeah.

So I think he's adding drinking

to the list of things

he's only done with his wife.

Ooh...

You guys, he has got a vineyard

back home. A vineyard.

Because he knows,

as soon as he gets home

and walks through

his big front door,

he can have all the wine

he wants.

Am I right?

No.

Heh, are you serious?

Okay. I'm sorry,

I didn't know. I just...

I hate seeing you like this

and I wanted you

to have a good time.

Enjoy it.

Are there not shots on the bar?

I think there's shots

on the bar. Right?

Jed! Jed! Jed!

All I'm saying is,

you've earned it.

Jed! Jed! Jed!

- Come on, man!

- Let's do this!

Whoo!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I think we all owe it to

Miss Shelby Bale.

Give it up.

This one's for my boys,

ladies and gentlemen.

Ah!

- He can't even walk.

- Ha-ha-ha.

- That's your band. Ha-ha-ha.

- I know.

- It's your room.

- Oh.

Okay.

So did you have a good time?

I really did. Thank you.

Thank you.

Now I get to scratch "Visit

England" off my to-do list.

Was that right after

"Get a whole lot of tattoos"?

I've been noticing.

You have one or two.

Uh, yeah, no. Uh-uh.

It was after

"Meet Jed King."

- Oh.

- Mm.

Seriously.

What's the story

with these? Hm?

Just my way of preserving

memories, I guess.

- You should try scrap-booking.

- Scrap-booking.

Heh. Ha-ha-ha.

It's just...

It seems more prudent.

Yeah, it kills memories.

- It kills memories?

- It's a fact.

I don't know.

It's just that a photo replaces

a memory in your mind.

Mm.

I see these and the memories

just come flooding back,

you know?

So you don't regret any of them?

Feeling regret and guilt is like

punching yourself in the face.

Sure, it hurts, but it's

self-inflicted, so don't do it.

That's how I feel about tattoos.

Well, all I'm saying

is do what you want...

and don't feel guilty about it.

Good night, Jed.

I said to myself, "Come now,

I will test you with pleasure

to find out what is good."

But that also proved

to be meaningless.

Deep, dark sky

So black, so bright

All curtains back tonight

I'm obsessed,
