I'm hoping you can hook me up | with a jacket.

Not the same one, obviously, | but with a similar vibe.

Guys, thank you. | You're very sweet.

It was sort of | a big accident, yeah.

It's a hell of an accident. | What do you think?

I would love to. | - Cool.

Done. | - Pants, too.

Guys, Garth Brooks | wants to meet you.

You're kidding. | - He's over there.

Excuse us. Mr. Brooks? | - Okay. Yeah.

Let's go. | - Awesome.

Thanks.

No, that's yours.

Molly, I just spoke with her.

She's almost ready | to meet with people,

but she wants | to talk to you first.

You can have | your job back, you know.

I don't think so.

You and I...

...we're gonna be friends.

Okay?

Grownups never stay friends | with kids.

I don't see any grownups | around here.

I do.

You know the Dalai Lama?

I've always thought of myself | as a people person.

Most Fashion Institute applicants | would kill for references like yours.

Seems to me | you could skip school

and find work with one | of your designer friends.

It would be more fun than | toiling away here for four years.

Fundamentals are | the building blocks of fun...

...I always say.

Oh, God.

Man, she's gonna kill me.

I'm really sorry.

Okay. Sorry.

Please call me | and I will call you,

and thank you.

Have a great day. Bye.

She always does this to me. | She's not coming.

If you'd quit wiggling your ass,

it wouldn't have fallen off | in the first place.

Coming through.

Excuse me.

To conclude our program, | we present a special performance...

Are you okay? | - By Laraine Schleine.

And to accompany Miss Schleine,

we are pleased to present | a very special guest.

How's it going?

There's someone here today | who lent us a bit of her magic,

and now we'd like | to give some of it back.

This was Tommy Gunn's | favorite guitar,

and I'm going to sing you | the song he wrote

for his favorite person | in the world.

This one goes out | to Molly Gunn.

Daddy's little girl

Paints the world | with her magic wand

Daddy's little child

Breathes new life | to the morning time for me

Though we're apart

Her thoughts follow me

When I come home

Molly smiles with the dawn

Molly smiles

And she radiates a glow | around her halo

When she plays, | Molly smiles

On a summer day

Molly smiles

A new day, | Molly smiles

Daddy's little girl

Ties a ribbon | around my heart

Daddy's little child

Waves good-bye | to the ocean tide

That sweeps me

Though we're apart

She's a part of me

Molly smiles | with the dawn

Molly smiles

And she radiates a glow | around her halo

When she plays, | Molly smiles

On a summer day

Molly smiles

A new day, | Molly smiles

Molly smiles | with the dawn

Molly smiles

And she radiates a glow | around her halo

When she plays, | Molly smiles

On a summer day

Molly smiles

A new day, | Molly smiles

Every story has an end,

but in life,

every ending | is just a new beginning.

Nothing's wrong | when Molly smiles
