1
00:01:09,819 --> 00:01:12,906
Wow, you're Danny Collins.
2
00:01:12,989 --> 00:01:13,990
Yeah.
3
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,617
Jesus H!
4
00:01:15,658 --> 00:01:17,535
You mind if we listen while we talk?
5
00:01:17,619 --> 00:01:18,953
Sure.
6
00:01:50,694 --> 00:01:53,196
- Is this cool?
- Sure.
7
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:01,413
Smoke?
8
00:02:01,496 --> 00:02:02,997
No. No, thanks.
9
00:02:04,708 --> 00:02:09,629
Well, the album's going to be
massive, kid. Who got you there?
10
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:12,215
I'm sorry?
11
00:02:12,340 --> 00:02:14,718
Your influences, who do you dig?
12
00:02:14,968 --> 00:02:16,219
Who makes you hard?
13
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:18,471
Oh.
14
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:22,684
Well, um,
I guess, I... If I had to think...
15
00:02:22,726 --> 00:02:24,019
Hold on.
16
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:29,816
June 30th, 1971.
17
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:35,030
Guy DeLoach with the apparently
pre-pubescent Danny Collins.
18
00:02:35,405 --> 00:02:36,656
For Chime Mag.
19
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,079
More than anything, it's your writing.
20
00:02:51,755 --> 00:02:53,923
You write like fucking Lennon, man.
21
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,221
That's, um...
Thank you.
22
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:06,019
I guess he's probably the one who, um,
you know, makes me the hardest.
23
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:12,400
Jesus H!
24
00:03:14,694 --> 00:03:17,030
Well, you're going to be huge, kid.
25
00:03:17,947 --> 00:03:20,784
Richer than rich. Famous as shit.
26
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:22,827
More women than you know what to do with.
27
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:25,622
I'm telling you this, and I've got to ask,
28
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:32,087
why are you sitting there staring at me
looking like that information
29
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:34,798
scares the livin' shit outta you?
30
00:03:40,637 --> 00:03:42,097
Because it does.
31
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:50,605
Jesus H!
32
00:03:52,065 --> 00:03:56,653
Danny, Danny,
Danny, Danny, Danny.
33
00:04:58,548 --> 00:04:59,716
Break a leg, Danny.
34
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:01,051
Just tell me whose.
35
00:05:43,635 --> 00:05:48,014
Hello, L.A.! It's good to be back!
36
00:05:49,307 --> 00:05:50,684
Danny!
37
00:05:55,897 --> 00:05:59,984
Hey, baby doll
What's goin' on?
38
00:06:03,321 --> 00:06:08,660
Sweet baby doll
I'll sing my song!
39
00:06:08,743 --> 00:06:10,495
For you!
40
00:06:12,455 --> 00:06:15,792
You were strong when I was weak
41
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:19,671
With a kiss upon my cheek
42
00:06:20,130 --> 00:06:25,844
We could fly so far away from here
43
00:06:25,927 --> 00:06:28,138
My baby!
44
00:06:28,263 --> 00:06:29,681
Baby!
45
00:06:30,181 --> 00:06:32,517
Hey, baby doll!
46
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,352
What's goin' on?
47
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:44,696
Sweet baby doll
I'll sing my song for you!
48
00:06:45,488 --> 00:06:47,741
Hey, baby doll!
49
00:06:47,824 --> 00:06:50,660
What's going on...
50
00:06:55,498 --> 00:06:56,833
Excuse me, Mr. Collins?
51
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:59,085
Do you think I could bother you
for a quick picture?
52
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:02,797
Just real quick.
Real quick, my mom will die.
53
00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:04,090
I hope not.
54
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:05,592
Ah.
55
00:07:06,384 --> 00:07:08,136
- Ah, awesome.
- Beauty...
56
00:07:08,178 --> 00:07:10,347
- I will tweet this to you.
- Awesome.
57
00:07:12,223 --> 00:07:13,503
It was a good show tonight, kid.
58
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:17,562
Awesome.
59
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:21,941
Hey, Sylvia Plath, you okay?
60
00:07:22,025 --> 00:07:24,944
If what I just did qualified as singing,
I'd be great.
61
00:07:27,405 --> 00:07:29,783
- Mmm.
- You know...
62
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:31,576
Little birthday blues, I guess.
63
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:32,952
Uh-huh.
64
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:35,163
All right, everyone.
65
00:07:35,246 --> 00:07:37,123
My guy needs a little rest here.
66
00:07:37,207 --> 00:07:38,416
Bye, Danny.
67
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,129
Sally, thank you for coming, honey.
68
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:45,882
Tell your dad I said hello, Kate.
69
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:51,513
See those Golden Girls in the front row?
70
00:07:51,554 --> 00:07:52,555
Mmm.
71
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:55,350
Eating the licorice the entire show.
72
00:07:55,433 --> 00:07:57,394
Can't choose your fans, Danny.
73
00:07:57,435 --> 00:07:58,436
Three of them.
74
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:01,564
Each one older than the next.
75
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:04,275
Made one pack of licorice
last the whole show.
76
00:08:04,359 --> 00:08:06,986
Just sat there gummin' it for two hours.
77
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:11,658
New billboard went up on Sunset.
78
00:08:11,741 --> 00:08:14,536
You should check it out
on your way home, yeah?
79
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:17,414
All right, enough of this crap.
80
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:20,709
So, your birthday's tomorrow.
Is that your big problem?
81
00:08:20,959 --> 00:08:25,255
Pregnant women in Africa,
feeding half their village from their titties.
82
00:08:25,338 --> 00:08:27,590
Those ladies got problems. Not you.
83
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:29,426
- You're so right.
- Yeah.
84
00:08:29,509 --> 00:08:31,344
Of course I'm right, I'm always right.
85
00:08:31,553 --> 00:08:35,432
So you go home now to your stunning,
half-your-age fiancée
86
00:08:35,765 --> 00:08:39,561
who insists on throwing you
this massive surprise party tomorrow,
87
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:41,938
which I didn't just tell you about,
88
00:08:42,022 --> 00:08:46,943
and then go tell the sore-titted
African ladies your problems.
89
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:48,611
Okay?
90
00:08:50,071 --> 00:08:51,197
Okay.
91
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,534
See you at my surprise party, buddy.
92
00:08:56,244 --> 00:08:58,955
- Hey.
- Yeah?
93
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:02,042
It was a good show tonight, kid.
94
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:03,126
Really.
95
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:07,380
Okay.
96
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:35,784
We'll have to get that fixed for you,
Mr. Collins. How was the show?
97
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:03,812
I'm home!
98
00:10:37,512 --> 00:10:38,513
Babe?
99
00:10:39,889 --> 00:10:41,766
I'm in the shower.
100
00:10:41,850 --> 00:10:43,476
Listen, I'll be out in a minute.
101
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,061
I'm just finishing shaving.
102
00:10:45,895 --> 00:10:47,564
What'd you do tonight?
103
00:10:48,231 --> 00:10:50,316
Just busywork around here.
104
00:10:50,900 --> 00:10:52,819
You're always doing busywork.
105
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:56,781
We have a big house.
Running it keeps a girl busy, right?
106
00:10:57,115 --> 00:10:58,825
Oh, uh, hon?
107
00:10:58,908 --> 00:11:00,160
Yeah, just a second.
108
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:05,123
You know... Uh, Jesus, Sophie.
109
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,416
What?
110
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:09,878
Okay. The kid out front?
111
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,088
Could you maybe say something to him?
112
00:11:12,213 --> 00:11:16,593
Because I don't need a half-hour of
chit-chat every time I pull into my house.
113
00:11:16,843 --> 00:11:18,723
He's your fan, he's just
trying to impress you.
114
00:11:19,346 --> 00:11:21,139
Well, he's failing.
115
00:11:21,222 --> 00:11:24,267
I'm gonna go rest before my surprise party.
116
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:27,604
God damn it, fucking Frank!
117
00:11:28,438 --> 00:11:30,106
Surprise!
118
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,942
Oh, no! No way!
119
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:34,652
You did this.
120
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:37,030
Aw.
121
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:40,992
You guys should know better, you know,
you don't surprise a guy my age.
122
00:11:41,076 --> 00:11:42,276
You'll give me a heart attack.
123
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:28,456
She looks like a young Jackie O.
124
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,960
I look absurd with her.
125
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:33,211
Yes, you do.
126
00:12:37,215 --> 00:12:39,592
We have to make her
sign a prenup, don't we?
127
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:40,844
Yes, we do.
128
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:50,770
I'm way too old to be putting
this much shit up my nose.
129
00:12:50,854 --> 00:12:52,188
Yes, you are.
130
00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:53,732
Jesus, Frank,
131
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:56,901
don't give me
all the good stuff at once, will ya.
132
00:12:56,985 --> 00:12:59,863
You're really earning
that 10% tonight, pal.
133
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:01,489
What do you want me to say?
134
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:02,866
Oh, no, Danny,
135
00:13:02,949 --> 00:13:06,953
you look perfectly normal
standing next to a coked-up teenager
136
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:11,416
who can't keep her nipples covered
for more than five minutes.
137
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:14,252
Prenup? Who needs a prenup?
138
00:13:14,336 --> 00:13:16,588
I mean, sure,
you've gone through three wives already,
139
00:13:17,213 --> 00:13:20,091
but this one seems like the real deal.
140
00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:21,509
Oh, look,
141
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:23,887
I can see her vagina again.
142
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:26,598
That's cute.
143
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:29,017
Thank you, I try.
144
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:32,270
So,
145
00:13:32,562 --> 00:13:35,690
I know how fanatical you are about Lennon.
146
00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:38,443
So I started futzing
around on the Internet,
147
00:13:38,526 --> 00:13:42,906
and I, uh, get in touch with this one guy.
He's a collector.
148
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:48,578
I tell him that I'm looking
to get you something special.
149
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:50,538
Holy shit.
150
00:13:52,123 --> 00:13:55,126
I've been holding onto
this for three months.
151
00:13:55,794 --> 00:13:58,171
No, no, no. Wait, wait. Hang on, wait.
152
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:01,174
You remember doing an interview
when you were a kid?
153
00:14:01,424 --> 00:14:04,719
Something called, uh, Chime Magazine.
154
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:05,762
Fella named DeLoach?
155
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:10,433
Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah.
156
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:11,851
Well, I don't know what
you said to the guy,
157
00:14:11,935 --> 00:14:13,937
I mean, you must've mentioned
Lennon or something.
158
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:16,481
But that doesn't matter, the point is
159
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,441
Lennon read it.
160
00:14:19,067 --> 00:14:20,443
The interview.
161
00:14:20,944 --> 00:14:21,945
And...
162
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:24,030
He wrote you a letter.
163
00:14:25,281 --> 00:14:27,409
What the hell are you talking about?
164
00:14:27,992 --> 00:14:32,247
John Lennon wrote you a letter, pal,
165
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:34,249
in 1971.
166
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,711
He sent it to you care of this DeLoach guy.
167
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:39,129
Now DeLoach smells money,
168
00:14:39,212 --> 00:14:42,507
so he holds onto it, never tells you.
169
00:14:43,258 --> 00:14:44,718
Then DeLoach dies.
170
00:14:45,176 --> 00:14:47,470
But he's not the point, the point is
171
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:50,265
he sold that letter
172
00:14:50,306 --> 00:14:52,183
to a collector.
173
00:14:52,267 --> 00:14:54,144
Can you believe this shit?
174
00:14:54,769 --> 00:14:56,187
I'm not following this, Frank.
175
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:59,816
Open the box. Open the box.
176
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:09,701
John Lennon wrote you
a handwritten letter in 1971.
177
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:12,370
Can you fucking believe it?
178
00:15:12,454 --> 00:15:13,455
Read it!
179
00:15:19,461 --> 00:15:21,880
"Dear Danny Collins.
180
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:25,342
"Yoko and I read your interview.
181
00:15:26,259 --> 00:15:29,846
"Being rich and famous
doesn't change the way you think.
182
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:33,016
"It doesn't corrupt your art.
183
00:15:33,099 --> 00:15:35,352
"Only you can do that.
184
00:15:36,019 --> 00:15:39,898
"So, what do you think about that,
Danny Collins?
185
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,151
"Stay true..."
186
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:46,029
"...to your music.
187
00:15:46,071 --> 00:15:47,947
"Stay true to yourself.
188
00:15:48,823 --> 00:15:52,035
"My phone number is below.
189
00:15:52,077 --> 00:15:54,829
"Call me, we can discuss this.
190
00:15:56,498 --> 00:15:58,541
"We can help.
191
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:03,713
"Love, John."
192
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,759
It's crazy, right?
193
00:16:08,635 --> 00:16:11,805
I've been holding onto this for months now.
194
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:45,065
I'm home!
195
00:17:54,824 --> 00:17:56,493
Whatcha doin'?
196
00:17:56,993 --> 00:17:58,620
- Packing.
- Oh.
197
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,413
Where are we going?
198
00:18:01,164 --> 00:18:02,582
We're not going anywhere.
199
00:18:02,665 --> 00:18:04,876
But I'm going away.
200
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:07,170
Where you going?
201
00:18:08,171 --> 00:18:09,631
Where?
202
00:18:10,006 --> 00:18:11,007
Where is he?
203
00:18:11,675 --> 00:18:12,801
Who?
204
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:15,387
Whoever you were just in bed with.
That's who.
205
00:18:15,512 --> 00:18:17,722
Danny, I don't know
what you're talking about.
206
00:18:17,847 --> 00:18:19,516
Come on, Sophie.
207
00:18:20,392 --> 00:18:22,352
I didn't pull in the way I usually do,
208
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:25,772
so the kid outside couldn't call you
and stall me.
209
00:18:25,855 --> 00:18:28,858
Okay, listen. I'm not mad, I promise you.
I am not mad.
210
00:18:28,942 --> 00:18:32,654
I just want to know who the fuck
is in my house. That's all.
211
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:36,950
Hey! Wherever you are, it's okay,
I promise, I'm not mad.
212
00:18:37,033 --> 00:18:40,662
I just wanna see your face.
213
00:18:40,704 --> 00:18:42,038
Jesus, just come out.
214
00:18:42,956 --> 00:18:44,207
It's okay.
215
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:54,467
Busywork.
216
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:55,760
Judd.
217
00:18:55,844 --> 00:18:56,845
No, "Busywork."
218
00:18:56,928 --> 00:18:59,723
I'm going to call you Busywork
because she's always doing busywork.
219
00:19:00,390 --> 00:19:01,599
Now, I understand.
220
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:05,228
Okay, kids, you and Busywork here,
221
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:07,897
I want you to stay here for a while,
if you wish.
222
00:19:07,939 --> 00:19:10,608
It's fine by me. You're young, have fun.
223
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,611
I'm looking for my address book.
224
00:19:13,737 --> 00:19:15,655
'Cause I need an address
in my address book,
225
00:19:15,739 --> 00:19:17,574
- and I found it.
226
00:19:18,742 --> 00:19:19,743
Sophie.
227
00:19:23,496 --> 00:19:27,208
I was going to make you
sign a prenup anyway.
228
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:30,462
You know, so you're not
missing out on the big bucks.
229
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:32,714
If that makes you feel better. Hmm?
230
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:35,467
I guess it does a little.
231
00:19:37,260 --> 00:19:39,763
Okay, you guys, I'm off.
232
00:19:39,846 --> 00:19:41,765
And, Busywork?
233
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:44,934
Um...
234
00:19:45,018 --> 00:19:47,103
Take care of her. Okay?
235
00:19:48,688 --> 00:19:51,858
My parents had their first dance
to one of your songs.
236
00:19:51,941 --> 00:19:52,942
- Sir.
- Yeah.
237
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:57,197
Well, that's fucked up
in all kinds of ways now, isn't it?
238
00:19:58,698 --> 00:20:01,159
Hey, man. Uh, listen.
239
00:20:01,284 --> 00:20:03,119
I need a plane.
240
00:20:04,371 --> 00:20:05,455
Jersey.
241
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:08,708
Yeah, New Jersey.
242
00:20:10,293 --> 00:20:13,630
Yeah. A car, uh, you know what I like.
243
00:20:13,963 --> 00:20:16,049
Mmm. Make it red.
244
00:20:16,216 --> 00:20:18,968
Yeah. I'm changing shit up.
245
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:28,978
What are you doing?
246
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:30,480
It's just dead.
247
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:33,650
There's a dental convention here this week.
248
00:20:33,692 --> 00:20:35,819
Like four people have been here.
249
00:20:35,860 --> 00:20:37,654
Oh, shit!
250
00:20:45,829 --> 00:20:48,081
Oh, shit!
251
00:20:48,373 --> 00:20:50,250
Oh, nice!
252
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:53,670
Welcome to the Hilton, Danny Collins.
253
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:56,631
I mean, Mr. Collins. I mean, uh...
254
00:20:56,673 --> 00:20:58,633
Welcome to the Hilton, sir.
255
00:20:58,675 --> 00:21:00,552
It's good to be here at the Hilton.
256
00:21:00,677 --> 00:21:03,096
You can call me Danny.
And what should I call you?
257
00:21:03,304 --> 00:21:05,056
Uh, Nicky Ernst.
258
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:07,559
Nicky Ernst. Absolute pleasure to meet you.
259
00:21:07,767 --> 00:21:09,352
You got a great face, Nicky.
260
00:21:09,436 --> 00:21:11,021
May I give you 100 bucks?
261
00:21:12,522 --> 00:21:15,275
Try not to drool on the car, Nicky.
262
00:21:15,358 --> 00:21:16,359
Okay.
263
00:21:18,445 --> 00:21:20,613
Welcome to the Hilton,
do you have a reservation?
264
00:21:20,697 --> 00:21:21,781
No.
265
00:21:21,865 --> 00:21:23,366
But I hope that's not a deal breaker
266
00:21:23,450 --> 00:21:26,494
because I am rapidly falling in love
with this here Hilton.
267
00:21:26,536 --> 00:21:28,038
Holy shit!
268
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:29,748
Holy shit!
269
00:21:30,206 --> 00:21:32,625
I get that a lot. What's your name?
270
00:21:33,001 --> 00:21:36,171
- Um, uh, Jamie.
- Jamie. I'm Danny.
271
00:21:36,546 --> 00:21:38,048
Yeah, I know who you are.
272
00:21:38,131 --> 00:21:39,291
How about that guy out front?
273
00:21:39,382 --> 00:21:41,843
Nicky Ernst. He's a great guy, great face.
274
00:21:41,885 --> 00:21:45,013
Why don't you let him
take you out for a ride in my car?
275
00:21:45,055 --> 00:21:46,473
- You'll fall in love.
- Oh.
276
00:21:46,556 --> 00:21:47,891
Okay. Okay.
277
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:49,517
Look at that face.
278
00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:51,895
Why does everybody in here
have such great faces?
279
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:54,064
And so young. Why are you all so young?
280
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:58,276
We're just college kids. Just graduated.
I'm off for the summer.
281
00:21:58,401 --> 00:21:59,569
That explains it.
282
00:21:59,652 --> 00:22:01,071
Uh...
283
00:22:01,112 --> 00:22:03,239
How long will you be staying with us,
Mr. Collins?
284
00:22:03,281 --> 00:22:05,742
I don't know. My GPS tells me
285
00:22:05,784 --> 00:22:08,620
that this is not far from
a Hillsdale, New Jersey.
286
00:22:08,745 --> 00:22:11,164
Now, is my GPS lying
or giving me the straight shit?
287
00:22:11,581 --> 00:22:13,958
Straight shit. You're five minutes away.
288
00:22:14,084 --> 00:22:17,212
- Okay, I will stay here. Indefinitely.
- Um...
289
00:22:17,504 --> 00:22:18,838
Hang on. Mary!
290
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:21,966
Man, if another wonderful face
comes out of there,
291
00:22:22,092 --> 00:22:24,302
I don't think I can handle it.
292
00:22:24,928 --> 00:22:25,929
Oh.
293
00:22:26,429 --> 00:22:28,431
That's it. I definitely can't handle it.
294
00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:31,601
- Look who it is.
- I see.
295
00:22:31,685 --> 00:22:32,727
Hi.
296
00:22:32,769 --> 00:22:34,270
He wants to stay indefinitely
297
00:22:34,312 --> 00:22:35,438
and we can give him the honeymoon suite.
298
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,523
He doesn't want the honeymoon suite.
299
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:37,816
It's not my honeymoon.
300
00:22:38,191 --> 00:22:39,192
And I'm not very sweet.
301
00:22:39,526 --> 00:22:41,444
Any room will suit me fine.
302
00:22:42,153 --> 00:22:44,572
And what college do you go to, young lady?
303
00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:46,783
Ha!
304
00:22:51,121 --> 00:22:54,457
So, you're staying indefinitely? Here?
305
00:22:54,499 --> 00:22:56,543
I'm a huge fan of this Hilton.
306
00:22:57,377 --> 00:22:58,378
Are you married, Mary?
307
00:22:59,295 --> 00:23:00,338
Oh, I'm sorry?
308
00:23:00,463 --> 00:23:02,090
Are you currently betrothed?
309
00:23:02,507 --> 00:23:03,633
- No.
- Good.
310
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:04,884
Dinner?
311
00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:06,636
You're asking me to dinner?
312
00:23:06,845 --> 00:23:09,931
Yes. I think so.
Jamie? I asked her to dinner, didn't I?
313
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,308
- Yup, yeah, you did.
- Proof.
314
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:13,643
I'm sorry, are you on drugs?
315
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:15,311
Currently or in general?
316
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,521
Currently?
317
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:18,356
No. Dinner?
318
00:23:18,648 --> 00:23:20,191
No. I'm going to have to decline.
319
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:21,317
You're not a fan?
320
00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:24,112
- Currently or in general?
- In general.
321
00:23:24,195 --> 00:23:25,989
- No.
- Oh, that's too bad.
322
00:23:26,114 --> 00:23:27,657
But we have good patter.
323
00:23:28,533 --> 00:23:30,827
Don't we? Don't we, Jamie?
324
00:23:30,869 --> 00:23:32,269
You following any of this, are you?
325
00:23:32,287 --> 00:23:34,831
- No.
- Look, I'll check you in, okay?
326
00:23:35,331 --> 00:23:37,667
While you're checking me in,
I'll check you out.
327
00:23:40,295 --> 00:23:41,296
Oh, my God.
328
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:04,444
Ooh, ooh!
329
00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:11,326
You know, I never actually
saw this being done.
330
00:24:11,409 --> 00:24:13,036
Oh, oh, oh.
331
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:15,872
Watch the door. Okay.
332
00:24:49,030 --> 00:24:50,907
- Danny?
- Hey.
333
00:24:51,574 --> 00:24:52,784
Frank.
334
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:54,577
Oh, man.
335
00:24:54,619 --> 00:24:56,329
Come to papa.
336
00:24:56,413 --> 00:24:58,248
Good to see you, buddy.
337
00:24:58,289 --> 00:24:59,541
Oh, what a trip.
338
00:24:59,582 --> 00:25:01,418
I got on the first flight out.
339
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:03,628
Thanks, Frank. You been here before?
340
00:25:03,753 --> 00:25:07,048
The bar at the Woodcliff Lake,
New Jersey Hilton?
341
00:25:07,090 --> 00:25:08,133
No.
342
00:25:11,428 --> 00:25:13,722
- Oh, man.
- I, uh...
343
00:25:14,764 --> 00:25:18,268
Spoke to Sophie. She said...
344
00:25:19,602 --> 00:25:20,603
I did. I did.
345
00:25:20,645 --> 00:25:21,855
Josh.
346
00:25:21,938 --> 00:25:24,733
You wanna give us ice water
347
00:25:24,983 --> 00:25:27,736
for my handsome young friend here?
348
00:25:33,616 --> 00:25:35,243
Frank, I decided,
349
00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:38,288
uh, to make some changes in my life.
350
00:25:40,582 --> 00:25:43,418
Some of the changes
may come as a bit of a shock.
351
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:46,379
Some may actually affect you, financially.
352
00:25:46,463 --> 00:25:49,924
I'm here as your friend, Danny.
Not as your manager.
353
00:25:51,426 --> 00:25:53,303
I want to cancel the rest of the tour.
354
00:25:54,262 --> 00:25:55,305
I'm sorry?
355
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:57,140
I'm not sorry.
356
00:25:57,307 --> 00:25:59,017
I'm done, Frank.
357
00:25:59,768 --> 00:26:00,810
Done.
358
00:26:00,977 --> 00:26:02,979
So, help me, God,
359
00:26:03,021 --> 00:26:06,775
I will never be forced to sing
those songs again.
360
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,693
Danny, you're spiraling.
361
00:26:08,818 --> 00:26:10,820
Are you on something?
What are you taking?
362
00:26:10,945 --> 00:26:13,782
I'm done with all of that shit too.
363
00:26:13,823 --> 00:26:15,075
No more, no more drinking,
364
00:26:15,158 --> 00:26:16,159
no more drugging.
365
00:26:16,201 --> 00:26:18,953
You're drinking right now, Danny.
366
00:26:20,163 --> 00:26:21,664
True.
367
00:26:21,706 --> 00:26:24,000
Let's forget about what
I said about drinking.
368
00:26:24,125 --> 00:26:26,503
I mean, I'm not running for Pope.
369
00:26:26,795 --> 00:26:28,171
And this is because of Sophie?
370
00:26:30,465 --> 00:26:31,966
Frank, please.
371
00:26:32,008 --> 00:26:34,511
Give me a little credit, will ya? Sophie?
372
00:26:38,848 --> 00:26:40,684
Okay. What would have happened
373
00:26:40,809 --> 00:26:43,353
if I got that letter
when I was supposed to?
374
00:26:44,062 --> 00:26:45,689
I would have called him.
375
00:26:46,022 --> 00:26:48,358
For sure as shit, I would have called him.
376
00:26:50,068 --> 00:26:53,029
Maybe my whole life
would have turned out different.
377
00:26:53,154 --> 00:26:54,572
Don't... Don't...
378
00:26:54,698 --> 00:26:57,575
You're too hard on yourself, kid.
You always have been. Now, come on.
379
00:26:57,659 --> 00:26:59,119
Frank.
380
00:26:59,703 --> 00:27:03,790
I haven't written a song in 30 years.
Thirty years.
381
00:27:04,749 --> 00:27:06,626
I'm a fucking joke.
382
00:27:08,712 --> 00:27:10,380
I'm an MC.
383
00:27:11,548 --> 00:27:14,884
A fuckin' court jester with a microphone.
384
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,180
I was the real thing once.
385
00:27:19,556 --> 00:27:22,809
Right. I was the real thing.
386
00:27:22,892 --> 00:27:25,145
One album, my songs didn't sell,
387
00:27:25,854 --> 00:27:29,107
they handed me their songs to sing.
And I sung.
388
00:27:29,733 --> 00:27:31,484
- Mmm.
- I gave up.
389
00:27:31,776 --> 00:27:35,071
Danny, you're having a breakdown.
390
00:27:35,196 --> 00:27:39,242
I hate to tell you, buddy.
I've been breaking down for 40 years.
391
00:27:39,284 --> 00:27:41,578
I'm broken. Ain't nothin' left to break.
392
00:27:43,455 --> 00:27:46,916
I've been abusing my body
for the better part of four decades.
393
00:27:49,252 --> 00:27:51,963
If I'm going to find any
kind of redemption,
394
00:27:54,132 --> 00:27:56,801
I can't waste any more time.
395
00:27:59,095 --> 00:28:01,222
But why the fuck New Jersey?
396
00:28:02,766 --> 00:28:05,101
One shock at a time, Frank.
397
00:28:09,481 --> 00:28:10,774
Hey, Jamie.
398
00:28:10,899 --> 00:28:14,819
You talk to that kid Nicky Ernst
about that ride yet?
399
00:28:14,903 --> 00:28:16,112
Not yet, Mr. Collins.
400
00:28:16,446 --> 00:28:17,906
You got to do it.
401
00:28:17,947 --> 00:28:19,908
Uh, meet me at 7:00 for dinner.
402
00:28:19,949 --> 00:28:21,284
Still going to have to pass.
403
00:28:21,409 --> 00:28:22,744
Mary, you keep passing,
404
00:28:22,786 --> 00:28:25,622
I'll keep making passes
and we'll see who quits first.
405
00:28:26,081 --> 00:28:27,749
Have a nice day, Mr. Collins.
406
00:28:27,791 --> 00:28:31,836
Big day. Big day for me.
I'm meeting someone for the first time.
407
00:28:32,295 --> 00:28:33,797
How do I look?
408
00:28:35,131 --> 00:28:36,758
Honestly?
409
00:28:36,841 --> 00:28:38,677
If this relationship is
going to go the distance, Mary,
410
00:28:38,802 --> 00:28:40,562
I think we should
be honest with one another.
411
00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:43,223
Okay. Well,
412
00:28:43,306 --> 00:28:45,016
you look slightly ridiculous.
413
00:28:45,767 --> 00:28:48,895
Nah. I look sharp.
414
00:28:49,646 --> 00:28:51,940
- See you at 7:00.
- No, you won't.
415
00:28:51,981 --> 00:28:54,109
Hey, Jamie, don't forget about Nicky.
416
00:28:54,818 --> 00:28:56,444
He's a wonderful boy.
417
00:28:58,446 --> 00:28:59,864
Don't say anything to anyone.
418
00:29:00,490 --> 00:29:02,158
Nicky Ernst!
419
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,243
It's ready for you, sir.
420
00:29:03,326 --> 00:29:05,620
Oh, man, I don't know what you did
to that girl inside,
421
00:29:05,662 --> 00:29:09,874
but, wow, all she does is talk about you.
Maybe you should ask her out.
422
00:29:09,958 --> 00:29:11,710
- Jamie?
- That's the one.
423
00:29:13,461 --> 00:29:15,880
Don't go after Mary. Mary's mine.
424
00:29:47,162 --> 00:29:48,538
I like your lawn.
425
00:29:50,957 --> 00:29:52,208
Thank you.
426
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,681
Hello!
427
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:10,560
Hello.
428
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:12,979
Hope, you're not to
open the door to strangers.
429
00:30:13,063 --> 00:30:16,983
He's not a stranger, we saw him on TV.
430
00:30:17,067 --> 00:30:19,069
- Told you.
- Whoa!
431
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:21,738
I told you.
432
00:30:21,821 --> 00:30:25,033
You didn't listen,
but I tried to tell you.
433
00:30:25,075 --> 00:30:28,411
I was unsure of, um, what was appropriate.
434
00:30:28,495 --> 00:30:29,662
He's at work.
435
00:30:29,913 --> 00:30:32,499
I brought bagels.
436
00:30:34,918 --> 00:30:37,754
One, two, three...
437
00:30:37,879 --> 00:30:43,343
The itsy-bitsy spider
came up the water spout
438
00:30:43,426 --> 00:30:44,594
Yeah.
439
00:30:44,678 --> 00:30:50,725
Down came the rain
and it washed the spider out
440
00:30:51,434 --> 00:30:56,940
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
441
00:30:57,649 --> 00:31:02,404
And the itsy-bitsy spider
442
00:31:02,445 --> 00:31:06,783
Climbed up the spout again
443
00:31:06,950 --> 00:31:10,620
That's beautiful.
You have a natural singing voice.
444
00:31:12,122 --> 00:31:13,581
Oh, my God.
445
00:31:13,623 --> 00:31:15,083
Just comes out naturally.
446
00:31:15,125 --> 00:31:16,960
How did you find us?
447
00:31:17,752 --> 00:31:19,045
Oh, well, you know,
448
00:31:19,129 --> 00:31:21,798
I had tracked him down years ago, you know,
449
00:31:21,881 --> 00:31:25,301
just never got the nerve up to,
uh, come see him.
450
00:31:27,137 --> 00:31:28,179
I want a bagel.
451
00:31:28,555 --> 00:31:29,848
Can I have a bagel, Mom?
452
00:31:29,973 --> 00:31:32,726
Yeah. Okay. Let me just...
453
00:31:32,809 --> 00:31:35,645
Wow. On so many levels. Wow.
454
00:31:35,729 --> 00:31:37,772
How far along are you?
455
00:31:37,897 --> 00:31:39,733
With... Oh, um...
456
00:31:40,150 --> 00:31:41,651
- Six months, more or less.
- Oh.
457
00:31:42,444 --> 00:31:44,738
Uh, boy or girl? You know?
458
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:46,406
It's a boy.
459
00:31:46,573 --> 00:31:49,617
Oh. Boy. Wow.
460
00:31:50,076 --> 00:31:51,453
On so many levels.
461
00:31:55,123 --> 00:31:57,167
I have to call him.
I mean, I have to call him.
462
00:31:57,292 --> 00:31:58,960
Oh, yeah, sure.
463
00:31:59,336 --> 00:32:01,004
Sure. Sure. Sure.
464
00:32:01,087 --> 00:32:03,423
I just finished the first grade.
465
00:32:03,673 --> 00:32:07,010
And my teacher is named Mrs. Williams.
466
00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:11,056
Her aunt died last week,
so we had a substitute.
467
00:32:11,348 --> 00:32:14,184
He had a mustache.
468
00:32:14,267 --> 00:32:15,518
She had a mustache?
469
00:32:15,602 --> 00:32:17,896
- He.
- Oh, it was a he. Oh, okay.
470
00:32:18,021 --> 00:32:19,856
Why are you on TV?
471
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:21,900
Because I'm a singer.
472
00:32:21,983 --> 00:32:24,569
Are you a good singer?
473
00:32:24,652 --> 00:32:27,947
Well, I don't know, you know, not really.
474
00:32:28,031 --> 00:32:29,282
- I didn't think so.
- Hope.
475
00:32:29,366 --> 00:32:30,367
You didn't think so?
476
00:32:31,326 --> 00:32:35,205
And why didn't you think so?
477
00:32:35,288 --> 00:32:40,543
Because when you were on the TV,
my daddy said, "Shut it off, Samantha!"
478
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:42,879
And Mommy turned it off really fast.
479
00:32:42,962 --> 00:32:46,966
And Mommy said, "Tom..."
And Daddy said, "N-O."
480
00:32:47,050 --> 00:32:49,427
And that was that.
481
00:32:49,761 --> 00:32:50,762
Wow.
482
00:32:50,845 --> 00:32:53,223
But I thought you were great. Really.
483
00:32:53,306 --> 00:32:54,891
You thought I was good?
484
00:32:54,974 --> 00:32:58,061
Danny Collins showed up at our house.
485
00:32:58,144 --> 00:32:59,145
Mmm-hmm.
486
00:32:59,646 --> 00:33:01,690
He's having bagels in
the kitchen with Hope.
487
00:33:01,773 --> 00:33:03,213
Why don't we take a break from that?
488
00:33:03,274 --> 00:33:04,859
Okay. Let's just color.
489
00:33:05,402 --> 00:33:07,654
Look at this. Startin' to get it.
490
00:33:07,737 --> 00:33:08,988
What was I supposed to do?
491
00:33:09,072 --> 00:33:10,949
Why don't you do it really slow?
492
00:33:11,032 --> 00:33:13,660
I do, yes, I do. Okay.
493
00:33:14,411 --> 00:33:16,538
- Bye, honey.
- Slowly makes it more...
494
00:33:16,579 --> 00:33:17,914
Didn't I already color that?
495
00:33:17,997 --> 00:33:20,375
You did. You told me that.
496
00:33:20,458 --> 00:33:21,501
Well, he's coming home.
497
00:33:21,918 --> 00:33:22,961
Yay!
498
00:33:23,044 --> 00:33:24,462
Daddy's coming home.
499
00:33:24,629 --> 00:33:27,716
That should be, uh, interesting.
500
00:33:27,924 --> 00:33:30,051
This is going to be interesting.
501
00:33:30,844 --> 00:33:34,055
- Mommy, look! It's Yo Gabba Gabba!
-I see it.
502
00:33:34,139 --> 00:33:37,934
The orange alien guy
has one eye just in the middle.
503
00:33:38,309 --> 00:33:40,478
Look, it's on TV!
504
00:33:40,770 --> 00:33:42,897
- Whoo-hoo!
- Hey, Hope. Settle. Calm.
505
00:33:44,899 --> 00:33:46,609
Thank you. Okay.
506
00:33:46,901 --> 00:33:51,364
Uh, she seems a little, uh, energetic.
507
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,409
Or severely hyperactive.
508
00:33:54,451 --> 00:33:56,786
You know ADHD, it's the thing.
509
00:33:57,662 --> 00:34:00,540
Learning issues, behavioral stuff, all of it.
510
00:34:00,665 --> 00:34:04,044
We do the best we can, but it's a battle.
511
00:34:05,545 --> 00:34:07,339
Why are you here?
512
00:34:08,590 --> 00:34:10,091
Well, you know,
513
00:34:11,009 --> 00:34:12,594
I'm just, uh...
514
00:34:14,471 --> 00:34:16,097
Making some changes in my life.
515
00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:19,119
It's a little late for that, isn't it?
516
00:34:21,186 --> 00:34:24,647
Maybe. I don't know. I hope not.
517
00:34:28,276 --> 00:34:30,445
Tom's the best man I've ever met.
518
00:34:31,571 --> 00:34:33,073
He's solid,
519
00:34:33,740 --> 00:34:35,492
kind, funny.
520
00:34:35,533 --> 00:34:39,245
We've had one fight in 12 years,
we've had one serious fight.
521
00:34:41,122 --> 00:34:44,501
A couple years ago I got backstage passes
for one of your shows.
522
00:34:44,584 --> 00:34:45,669
I thought it was...
523
00:34:45,710 --> 00:34:50,340
You know, he should at least
meet you, right? After all this time?
524
00:34:51,549 --> 00:34:52,842
He disagreed.
525
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:57,222
He disagreed strongly.
526
00:34:58,890 --> 00:35:00,600
So, this is not going to be pretty?
527
00:35:00,684 --> 00:35:02,811
I wouldn't think so, no.
528
00:35:02,852 --> 00:35:03,895
Okay.
529
00:35:06,564 --> 00:35:09,317
So, you think maybe, uh, you know,
530
00:35:09,401 --> 00:35:12,362
you could help grease the wheels a little?
531
00:35:12,404 --> 00:35:14,197
Mr. Collins.
532
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:18,326
My parents are dead. His mom is, too.
533
00:35:18,451 --> 00:35:22,664
I mean, I would love for our children
to know their one remaining grandparent.
534
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:26,501
I would love for my husband
to know his father.
535
00:35:26,710 --> 00:35:28,920
In a few minutes, my husband
is going to walk through that door
536
00:35:29,004 --> 00:35:33,842
and when he does, I feel pretty confident
this will be the last time I ever see you.
537
00:35:34,217 --> 00:35:38,930
And despite your celebrity,
and despite what I want for my own family,
538
00:35:39,014 --> 00:35:41,266
I will not try to stop that.
539
00:35:41,349 --> 00:35:43,059
You did this.
540
00:35:43,184 --> 00:35:45,854
You did this to yourself.
541
00:35:45,895 --> 00:35:48,023
Shame on you.
542
00:35:50,066 --> 00:35:51,359
That was good.
543
00:35:53,361 --> 00:35:54,904
Thanks. I've been practicing
544
00:35:54,988 --> 00:35:56,614
- since you gave me the bagels.
545
00:35:56,698 --> 00:35:59,576
It has a certain feel to it.
546
00:35:59,659 --> 00:36:01,077
Oh, he married well.
547
00:36:01,453 --> 00:36:04,748
- He did. I'm great.
- Yeah.
548
00:36:04,831 --> 00:36:06,499
See what you missed out on?
549
00:36:07,459 --> 00:36:09,002
Perfect daughter-in-law.
550
00:36:13,423 --> 00:36:14,632
Well...
551
00:36:19,429 --> 00:36:21,431
Daddy! Daddy!
552
00:36:21,765 --> 00:36:26,186
Look who it is, it's the man from TV!
It's the man from TV that we saw singing!
553
00:36:26,269 --> 00:36:28,271
- And Mommy said...
- Easy...
554
00:36:28,355 --> 00:36:30,940
And he brought bagels. He brought bagels.
555
00:36:31,024 --> 00:36:33,276
Mommy called you. And you're home early.
556
00:36:33,318 --> 00:36:35,445
Hope, your favorite flower is a...
557
00:36:35,528 --> 00:36:36,529
Rose.
558
00:36:36,613 --> 00:36:39,324
To smell it, you breathe through your...
559
00:36:40,533 --> 00:36:42,535
Keep it in, long as you can go.
560
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:46,122
Then let it out in one big...
561
00:36:47,123 --> 00:36:49,167
...Blow.
562
00:36:51,753 --> 00:36:53,797
- Hi, honey.
- Hey, baby.
563
00:36:57,175 --> 00:36:58,968
Speak to you outside for a second?
564
00:36:59,803 --> 00:37:01,763
Of course. Sure.
565
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:04,724
Okay.
566
00:37:05,392 --> 00:37:06,393
Um...
567
00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:08,645
If I have,
568
00:37:08,728 --> 00:37:11,439
I am truly very sorry,
569
00:37:11,481 --> 00:37:13,692
that I missed out on you.
570
00:37:15,902 --> 00:37:17,987
Thank you for the bagels.
571
00:37:18,363 --> 00:37:19,364
Okay.
572
00:37:19,489 --> 00:37:21,324
Hope, say goodbye to Mr. Collins.
573
00:37:21,408 --> 00:37:23,159
Goodbye, Mr. Collins.
574
00:37:23,201 --> 00:37:25,328
Mr. Collins, say goodbye to Hope.
575
00:37:28,373 --> 00:37:30,917
Goodbye to Hope.
576
00:37:36,006 --> 00:37:37,549
Come here.
577
00:37:45,348 --> 00:37:47,267
You're so tall.
578
00:37:48,518 --> 00:37:50,562
I'm sorry, what exactly do you want?
579
00:37:53,106 --> 00:37:55,442
- Well, you know...
- Are you sick?
580
00:37:55,525 --> 00:37:57,777
Is that what you're doing here?
Are you dying?
581
00:37:57,861 --> 00:37:59,529
No, I'm not sick.
582
00:38:01,865 --> 00:38:03,366
You have every right to be angry.
583
00:38:03,450 --> 00:38:06,453
No. No. I'm not angry. Really, I'm not.
584
00:38:06,536 --> 00:38:10,248
I'm a little confused,
and strangely, not interested.
585
00:38:10,707 --> 00:38:12,667
So, if you have anything to ask me,
just go ahead.
586
00:38:12,709 --> 00:38:15,712
'Cause this is the last time
we'll see each other.
587
00:38:17,964 --> 00:38:19,257
So, what do you do for a living?
588
00:38:19,382 --> 00:38:23,094
I work construction. Local, residential.
589
00:38:23,219 --> 00:38:25,722
It's not my dream job, but it's steady,
590
00:38:25,805 --> 00:38:28,558
and, you know,
Princeton wasn't exactly in the cards.
591
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,601
What else?
592
00:38:29,726 --> 00:38:31,519
Your mom?
593
00:38:31,561 --> 00:38:32,896
She, uh...
594
00:38:32,979 --> 00:38:34,481
She died of cancer 10 years ago.
595
00:38:35,940 --> 00:38:38,651
Never married, never spoke about you
596
00:38:38,735 --> 00:38:41,404
except to say that it was a wild thing
she did when she was 23
597
00:38:41,446 --> 00:38:43,446
and got drunk backstage
after one of your concerts.
598
00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:45,617
I use her last name. Anything else?
599
00:38:45,742 --> 00:38:47,243
You're clearly angry.
600
00:38:47,285 --> 00:38:48,453
Look, I don't care enough to be angry.
601
00:38:48,578 --> 00:38:51,081
I am wondering what I'm going
to tell my little girl about who you are.
602
00:38:51,122 --> 00:38:53,249
And I'm thinking,
I have to be back at work in 20 minutes.
603
00:38:53,333 --> 00:38:55,085
Are we done here?
604
00:38:55,168 --> 00:38:56,169
I sent checks.
605
00:38:56,252 --> 00:38:57,671
- I ripped them up, okay?
- Okay.
606
00:38:57,754 --> 00:39:00,256
Okay. Nice to meet you. Have a good life.
607
00:39:01,591 --> 00:39:03,093
Are you happy?
608
00:39:03,301 --> 00:39:04,928
Am I happy?
609
00:39:05,637 --> 00:39:06,846
I don't know.
610
00:39:08,264 --> 00:39:10,433
You have a happy life?
611
00:39:15,605 --> 00:39:17,273
I hate my boss.
612
00:39:18,817 --> 00:39:21,277
Fucking Mets break my heart every year.
613
00:39:22,654 --> 00:39:26,032
But I have the most amazing wife
in the history of wives,
614
00:39:26,116 --> 00:39:28,118
and an amazing little girl.
615
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:30,870
One that I wish I could do more for.
That I really wish I could do.
616
00:39:30,954 --> 00:39:33,081
But you know what,
if it makes you sleep better at night,
617
00:39:33,123 --> 00:39:34,666
yeah, I'm happy.
618
00:39:35,959 --> 00:39:38,628
And fuck you, you selfish prick, I am angry.
619
00:40:26,134 --> 00:40:27,886
Mr. Collins.
620
00:40:28,178 --> 00:40:30,430
- How we doing tonight?
- Oh.
621
00:40:31,681 --> 00:40:34,392
Peachy. Thank you for asking.
622
00:40:35,018 --> 00:40:38,063
Oh, good. I'm really glad to hear that.
623
00:40:38,146 --> 00:40:39,814
Mr. Collins,
624
00:40:39,856 --> 00:40:41,896
I was wondering if you could
help me with something.
625
00:40:42,359 --> 00:40:44,569
- Shoot.
- Okay.
626
00:40:44,694 --> 00:40:48,156
When a famous musician starts getting
fall-down drunk in a hotel bar
627
00:40:48,198 --> 00:40:50,158
and you're the manager of that hotel,
628
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,536
is there a protocol
on how to handle the situation?
629
00:40:54,204 --> 00:40:55,330
Because actually,
630
00:40:55,372 --> 00:40:58,541
we have had a shortage of
famous fall-down drunk musicians lately,
631
00:40:58,667 --> 00:41:00,710
I'm a bit out of my depth.
632
00:41:03,588 --> 00:41:04,881
I see.
633
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,386
Well, you know, I had a bad day.
634
00:41:09,511 --> 00:41:11,888
Oh. Okay.
635
00:41:12,013 --> 00:41:13,598
This is just water.
636
00:41:13,723 --> 00:41:15,225
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
637
00:41:15,350 --> 00:41:17,394
Yeah, that's just because
you drank all the booze
638
00:41:17,435 --> 00:41:18,895
and the ice is melted.
639
00:41:19,521 --> 00:41:22,107
Don't be mean to me.
I really had a bad day.
640
00:41:22,232 --> 00:41:23,233
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
641
00:41:24,901 --> 00:41:27,821
- Well, I had a bad day too.
- Yeah?
642
00:41:29,698 --> 00:41:31,116
Can I buy you a drink?
643
00:41:31,783 --> 00:41:33,743
Bay Breeze?
644
00:41:34,035 --> 00:41:36,788
Wine spritzer?
Maybe even one of those frozen...
645
00:41:36,913 --> 00:41:42,293
Josh, give me tequila, rocks,
something añejo, and a splash of soda.
646
00:41:42,377 --> 00:41:44,546
Right away, boss.
647
00:41:44,879 --> 00:41:47,549
You're not the only rock
star in this hotel.
648
00:41:47,590 --> 00:41:48,925
Apparently not.
649
00:41:50,969 --> 00:41:53,471
- So, you had a bad day?
- Mmm.
650
00:41:53,596 --> 00:41:55,265
Why'd you have a bad day?
651
00:41:57,308 --> 00:42:00,812
Okay, I work with a bunch of well-meaning...
Thank you.
652
00:42:00,937 --> 00:42:02,731
But remarkably dim twenty-somethings
653
00:42:02,772 --> 00:42:04,983
who are just passing time
until they go back to college.
654
00:42:05,108 --> 00:42:07,068
And one of them
screwed up the computer system
655
00:42:07,110 --> 00:42:11,614
and it took me half the day
to reprogram every reservation manually.
656
00:42:14,159 --> 00:42:16,286
Mmm. Ah.
657
00:42:18,288 --> 00:42:19,456
What about you?
658
00:42:21,916 --> 00:42:25,795
I tracked down my grown son,
659
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,797
who I've never met before.
660
00:42:29,257 --> 00:42:34,179
I met him, his wife, my granddaughter.
661
00:42:35,472 --> 00:42:39,142
And then he told me, quite emphatically,
662
00:42:40,310 --> 00:42:43,772
to fuck off and to die.
663
00:42:48,026 --> 00:42:50,320
Well, it was every reservation,
664
00:42:50,445 --> 00:42:54,991
each one had to be reprogrammed manually.
I hope I made that clear.
665
00:42:57,035 --> 00:42:58,828
Can I ask you a question?
666
00:43:00,163 --> 00:43:04,376
Not if it's about why
I never met my son until today.
667
00:43:04,542 --> 00:43:07,295
Oh, shit. Well, that was my question.
668
00:43:19,849 --> 00:43:21,893
- We lost our patter.
- Mmm.
669
00:43:23,687 --> 00:43:24,688
It's gone.
670
00:43:24,813 --> 00:43:27,899
You know, I saw you in concert once,
about five years ago.
671
00:43:27,982 --> 00:43:31,403
- You did?
- Yeah, my husband... My ex-husband.
672
00:43:31,528 --> 00:43:35,240
He was a big fan. Oh, he loved it.
673
00:43:36,658 --> 00:43:38,034
And you?
674
00:43:39,494 --> 00:43:41,037
I appreciated your zeal.
675
00:43:41,705 --> 00:43:42,872
Oh, shit.
676
00:43:42,997 --> 00:43:45,709
What? Zeal is not awful.
677
00:43:45,792 --> 00:43:46,960
Zeal's not great.
678
00:43:48,003 --> 00:43:51,506
Hear us? "Zeal's not awful.
Zeal's not great."
679
00:43:51,548 --> 00:43:52,549
We got our patter back.
680
00:43:53,133 --> 00:43:56,386
How about that?
We should take this on the road.
681
00:43:56,469 --> 00:43:59,055
You and me. The new Nichols and May.
682
00:44:03,476 --> 00:44:06,229
Well, May and Nichols.
I would want top billing.
683
00:44:07,188 --> 00:44:08,398
You're good.
684
00:44:09,691 --> 00:44:10,692
I want to drink to you.
685
00:44:12,402 --> 00:44:13,695
Toast.
686
00:44:14,154 --> 00:44:15,238
Oh, okay.
687
00:44:15,321 --> 00:44:17,240
You'll have to come a little closer.
688
00:44:17,323 --> 00:44:20,076
- Oh, that was so good.
- See how I work it?
689
00:44:21,244 --> 00:44:23,913
What does that drink need?
It needs a lemon.
690
00:44:23,997 --> 00:44:24,998
No.
691
00:44:26,082 --> 00:44:27,417
Then he writes,
692
00:44:27,751 --> 00:44:30,086
"What do you think of that, Danny Collins?"
693
00:44:31,838 --> 00:44:32,881
John Lennon?
694
00:44:32,922 --> 00:44:35,522
John Lennon writes, "What do you think
about that, Danny Collins?"
695
00:44:35,550 --> 00:44:37,093
Yeah.
696
00:44:37,427 --> 00:44:39,220
Well, you know, John.
697
00:44:39,262 --> 00:44:44,934
I think, maybe, uh,
you should have sent the letter to my house.
698
00:44:45,060 --> 00:44:48,772
And then maybe I could have
avoided living such a bullshit life
699
00:44:48,897 --> 00:44:52,233
for the past 40 years,
that's what I think, John.
700
00:44:52,275 --> 00:44:55,028
Well, I might have that last sip.
701
00:44:56,363 --> 00:44:58,907
- I'm sorry. I'm a little giddy.
- Laughing, no...
702
00:44:58,948 --> 00:45:01,034
No, I just don't...
I usually don't drink this much.
703
00:45:01,117 --> 00:45:02,118
You've emptied it.
704
00:45:02,202 --> 00:45:03,402
I wonder if anyone's noticing.
705
00:45:03,453 --> 00:45:05,580
There's one of those people at the...
706
00:45:06,790 --> 00:45:11,294
No, the girl at the desk.
She's the one that screwed up the computer.
707
00:45:11,419 --> 00:45:13,213
- This is Danny Collins.
- Oh, geez.
708
00:45:13,296 --> 00:45:14,297
He's our guest.
709
00:45:14,381 --> 00:45:15,757
Do you have a name, sir?
710
00:45:15,799 --> 00:45:16,966
Uh, Hiroshi.
711
00:45:17,967 --> 00:45:20,220
That's nice, Hiroshi.
712
00:45:20,303 --> 00:45:21,304
Hiroshi.
713
00:45:21,388 --> 00:45:23,473
This is my daughter. She's 18.
714
00:45:23,556 --> 00:45:24,724
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
715
00:45:24,808 --> 00:45:26,226
- Wow.
- Don't say it like that.
716
00:45:28,228 --> 00:45:29,562
I'm ready.
717
00:45:29,646 --> 00:45:31,815
- Okay.
- Oh, my God!
718
00:45:31,940 --> 00:45:34,275
It just turns me on.
719
00:45:34,317 --> 00:45:36,152
Rick and I split last year.
720
00:45:36,486 --> 00:45:40,198
Most parents, they try to wait
till their kids leave for college.
721
00:45:40,323 --> 00:45:42,492
But we actually did the opposite.
722
00:45:42,575 --> 00:45:46,287
We tried to do it at the time that
it would really screw her up the most.
723
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,169
- Well, did it work?
- Yes. Yeah, perfect.
724
00:45:53,294 --> 00:45:55,046
She's a complete mess, hates us both.
725
00:45:55,839 --> 00:45:57,465
- Guess what?
- What?
726
00:45:57,674 --> 00:45:59,801
She hates him more.
727
00:45:59,968 --> 00:46:02,387
Oh, that's perfect.
728
00:46:02,470 --> 00:46:07,809
My second wife actually was one of
the stars of Gilligan's Island.
729
00:46:09,352 --> 00:46:10,854
- Ginger?
- No.
730
00:46:11,354 --> 00:46:13,189
- Mary Ann?
- Yeah.
731
00:46:13,606 --> 00:46:15,859
- Wait, that's insane.
- I know.
732
00:46:15,942 --> 00:46:17,861
- You were married to Mary Ann?
- Yes.
733
00:46:17,986 --> 00:46:19,029
Oh, my God.
734
00:46:19,362 --> 00:46:20,488
So, what's she like?
735
00:46:20,989 --> 00:46:22,157
I don't remember.
736
00:46:23,533 --> 00:46:26,453
"...doesn't corrupt your art,
only you can do that.
737
00:46:27,037 --> 00:46:30,165
"So, what do you think about that,
Danny Collins?"
738
00:46:31,207 --> 00:46:33,043
- That is unreal.
- Yeah.
739
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:35,503
You know, you better have something
to play me
740
00:46:35,587 --> 00:46:39,591
because if this is just a lame attempt
to get me to your room then...
741
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,721
- I have something to play you. Yes.
- Oh.
742
00:46:45,055 --> 00:46:46,264
You're really going to play?
743
00:46:46,348 --> 00:46:48,850
Now, I haven't written anything
in a long time.
744
00:46:49,726 --> 00:46:51,770
And piano's not my first language.
745
00:46:52,687 --> 00:46:55,815
Piano's my first love,
but it's not my first language.
746
00:46:56,358 --> 00:46:58,109
- You're nervous.
- Yes.
747
00:46:58,193 --> 00:46:59,944
- I love that.
- So what?
748
00:47:00,236 --> 00:47:01,613
So bear with me.
749
00:47:17,629 --> 00:47:19,422
It's spring
750
00:47:19,923 --> 00:47:22,842
In my mind
751
00:47:25,178 --> 00:47:28,348
But the autumn leaves
752
00:47:29,015 --> 00:47:30,725
They fall...
753
00:47:37,273 --> 00:47:39,609
Oh, keep going. Keep going.
754
00:47:39,693 --> 00:47:41,986
That's it. That's as far as I got.
755
00:47:42,070 --> 00:47:46,533
Honestly, this kind of was just a lame
attempt to get you up to my room.
756
00:47:46,616 --> 00:47:48,284
Jesus Christ.
757
00:47:48,368 --> 00:47:50,870
- No, no, no, don't go now. Stay.
- Good night, Danny.
758
00:47:50,995 --> 00:47:53,873
Come on.
I'm an old man with 10 Scotches in him.
759
00:47:53,957 --> 00:47:55,250
What am I going to do?
760
00:47:56,042 --> 00:47:59,546
Please, I mean the chances of
anything risqué happening
761
00:47:59,629 --> 00:48:02,298
- is so fucking remote.
762
00:48:02,757 --> 00:48:03,800
Good night, Danny.
763
00:48:03,883 --> 00:48:05,510
- Good night, Mary.
- Good night.
764
00:48:05,802 --> 00:48:08,805
You know, that song, it's beautiful.
765
00:48:08,888 --> 00:48:10,765
It's just a little short.
766
00:48:11,182 --> 00:48:13,476
But other than that, it's beautiful.
767
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:14,561
Thank you.
768
00:48:14,644 --> 00:48:17,522
And you know,
what we were talking about before,
769
00:48:18,398 --> 00:48:19,566
you shouldn't give up.
770
00:48:19,816 --> 00:48:21,192
- I agree.
- Yeah.
771
00:48:21,276 --> 00:48:22,485
Dinner tomorrow?
772
00:48:22,569 --> 00:48:23,570
Not that.
773
00:48:24,029 --> 00:48:25,113
Your son.
774
00:48:26,114 --> 00:48:27,657
Oh, yeah. I know.
775
00:48:27,866 --> 00:48:30,326
Okay. But don't give up on dinner either.
776
00:48:30,660 --> 00:48:32,328
Oh, dinner, uh, tonight?
777
00:48:35,457 --> 00:48:37,208
She'll have dinner with me.
778
00:48:37,417 --> 00:48:39,252
That's right. A six-year-old girl.
779
00:48:39,336 --> 00:48:40,712
Well, you know, money's no issue. So...
780
00:48:40,795 --> 00:48:43,965
I'm running my operation
out of the business center.
781
00:48:44,424 --> 00:48:46,343
He said he was sending it to me.
782
00:48:46,718 --> 00:48:48,261
Well, I haven't gotten it yet.
783
00:48:48,386 --> 00:48:50,305
Yeah, it's for my granddaughter.
784
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,432
What's he doing?
785
00:48:52,682 --> 00:48:55,685
He's bitch slappin'
the business center is what he's...
786
00:48:55,769 --> 00:48:58,355
- Hey.
- Hey.
787
00:48:58,438 --> 00:48:59,731
Hey.
788
00:49:18,792 --> 00:49:20,210
Hey, Ray!
789
00:49:20,752 --> 00:49:22,087
Steve, Mr. Collins.
790
00:49:22,962 --> 00:49:24,714
You'll always be Ray to me.
791
00:49:24,839 --> 00:49:26,216
- Ha!
- Fine.
792
00:49:32,597 --> 00:49:33,723
Oh, fuck me.
793
00:49:33,807 --> 00:49:34,808
Language, dear.
794
00:49:35,225 --> 00:49:37,102
We don't want your music!
795
00:49:38,103 --> 00:49:39,729
You don't want my music?
796
00:49:39,771 --> 00:49:42,482
Tom explained to Hope
how you're a musician
797
00:49:42,565 --> 00:49:44,401
and sometimes musicians travel door to door
798
00:49:44,901 --> 00:49:46,236
to sell their music.
799
00:49:46,277 --> 00:49:48,446
- Just like Girl Scouts sell their cookies.
- Yeah.
800
00:49:48,571 --> 00:49:49,948
And sometimes
you don't want Girl Scout cookies,
801
00:49:50,073 --> 00:49:51,241
so we're not being rude 'cause...
802
00:49:51,282 --> 00:49:52,784
Yeah, we're not rude.
803
00:49:52,909 --> 00:49:54,494
Just don't want any.
804
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:55,745
- I get it.
- Okay.
805
00:49:55,787 --> 00:49:59,624
Possibly more complicated an explanation
than is required for a seven-year-old.
806
00:49:59,749 --> 00:50:02,168
- Possibly.
- You know what, I get it.
807
00:50:02,252 --> 00:50:04,587
Mommy, do you see this?
808
00:50:04,629 --> 00:50:06,381
- Hey, Jimmy!
- Hope.
809
00:50:06,423 --> 00:50:08,258
- Sorry. Hope.
- No, no, it's okay.
810
00:50:08,299 --> 00:50:10,539
- No, no. He's got her. He's got her.
- Thank you, Jimmy.
811
00:50:11,261 --> 00:50:13,346
So, are you just out running some errands?
812
00:50:13,430 --> 00:50:15,974
Yeah, you know.
I was in the neighborhood. So, you know.
813
00:50:16,057 --> 00:50:17,517
Are you fucking kidding me?
814
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,269
Look at this, there's three of us.
815
00:50:19,310 --> 00:50:20,478
You got to be fucking kidding me.
816
00:50:20,603 --> 00:50:23,440
Have you heard of the
New Compass School in Manhattan?
817
00:50:23,523 --> 00:50:24,649
What?
818
00:50:24,774 --> 00:50:28,528
It's the most
progressive private school in the country.
819
00:50:28,945 --> 00:50:33,783
It's got a multi-modal approach
820
00:50:33,867 --> 00:50:37,787
towards treating children
with learning issues, particularly ADHD.
821
00:50:38,621 --> 00:50:40,165
I pulled some strings,
822
00:50:40,290 --> 00:50:43,168
and you have an interview in two hours.
823
00:50:43,293 --> 00:50:46,796
- It has a shower!
- I know.
824
00:50:46,838 --> 00:50:48,465
You can go in there, it doesn't work.
825
00:50:48,506 --> 00:50:51,426
Wait a second, do you really think we
haven't looked into every school there is?
826
00:50:51,468 --> 00:50:53,136
- Not this one.
- How do you know that?
827
00:50:53,636 --> 00:50:55,305
Well, you know, you can't afford it.
828
00:50:57,182 --> 00:50:58,975
Steven, would you mind
your own fucking business, please!
829
00:50:59,059 --> 00:51:00,060
I'm sorry, excuse me.
830
00:51:00,143 --> 00:51:02,395
You mean that we have an interview,
as our family, today,
831
00:51:02,479 --> 00:51:04,356
in two hours at the New Compass School?
832
00:51:04,481 --> 00:51:07,317
People wait two years
for such an interview.
833
00:51:07,359 --> 00:51:09,319
Two years. You have it in two hours.
834
00:51:09,986 --> 00:51:12,864
Just give me a day
to do something good for you.
835
00:51:13,365 --> 00:51:15,992
And then, you know, I'm gone, forever.
836
00:51:16,493 --> 00:51:19,746
And you still go to heaven
because you're so damn tolerant.
837
00:51:19,829 --> 00:51:24,167
And I will still go to hell because, you know,
you can't buy redemption.
838
00:51:24,668 --> 00:51:26,169
Everybody wins.
839
00:51:26,503 --> 00:51:28,088
Let's do this thing. Come on.
840
00:51:28,672 --> 00:51:30,715
Bring your friends, you have friends?
841
00:51:31,216 --> 00:51:32,384
We got room.
842
00:51:34,511 --> 00:51:35,679
Hey!
843
00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:38,181
This school, it's not like
there's a two-year wait.
844
00:51:38,223 --> 00:51:40,642
It's like there's a six-year wait.
845
00:51:40,684 --> 00:51:42,018
What are you saying?
846
00:51:42,102 --> 00:51:46,272
I'm saying I'm gonna get Hope and you
put on a shirt with some fucking buttons.
847
00:51:46,356 --> 00:51:49,484
Hey, Hope. Come here, baby.
848
00:51:54,781 --> 00:51:57,575
Everything is back there!
849
00:51:57,701 --> 00:52:00,203
I love it! It's so cool!
850
00:52:00,328 --> 00:52:02,205
And I love everything in it!
851
00:52:02,247 --> 00:52:03,873
It looks like it could be a house.
852
00:52:03,998 --> 00:52:06,001
And maybe he lives in here!
853
00:52:06,042 --> 00:52:07,585
And I'm sure he really does.
854
00:52:07,711 --> 00:52:11,297
But it's still cool,
and I can't even stop talking!
855
00:52:12,549 --> 00:52:15,468
I wrote him, and then
I talked to him on the phone.
856
00:52:15,552 --> 00:52:17,470
So, do you know Dr. Kurtz?
857
00:52:17,554 --> 00:52:20,140
Sometimes he does
a talk-back thing on his blog.
858
00:52:20,223 --> 00:52:21,224
On his what?
859
00:52:21,307 --> 00:52:23,059
His blog. He writes a blog.
860
00:52:23,685 --> 00:52:24,686
What's a block?
861
00:52:24,728 --> 00:52:25,729
A blog. It's a...
862
00:52:25,854 --> 00:52:26,855
A blog.
863
00:52:26,896 --> 00:52:28,231
I can't believe I'm going to meet him.
864
00:52:28,314 --> 00:52:30,400
Everything is on this bus!
865
00:52:39,659 --> 00:52:42,245
This is a school?
866
00:52:42,328 --> 00:52:44,956
- The blog doesn't do it justice.
- I know.
867
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,750
Sorry to keep you waiting. Sorry.
868
00:52:47,375 --> 00:52:48,835
I'm dressed like Jack LaLanne,
869
00:52:48,918 --> 00:52:50,587
I'm elastic-only on the weekends.
870
00:52:50,670 --> 00:52:51,755
I'm Dr. Kurtz.
871
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,090
Shock-ma-a-lya!
872
00:52:54,507 --> 00:52:56,176
You really are Danny Collins!
873
00:52:56,259 --> 00:52:57,427
- Yes, I am.
- Wow!
874
00:52:57,510 --> 00:52:58,762
You're really Dr. Kurtz.
875
00:52:58,887 --> 00:52:59,888
You really are.
876
00:52:59,929 --> 00:53:00,930
- Tom Donnelly.
- Danny Collins.
877
00:53:01,014 --> 00:53:03,516
- My wife, Samantha. My daughter, Hope.
- It's so good to meet you.
878
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,769
And my balls are in her purse.
In case you want to meet them later.
879
00:53:05,810 --> 00:53:07,437
You're a lot different
than talking on the phone.
880
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:09,356
Well, I hope so.
881
00:53:09,939 --> 00:53:11,816
You must be Hope.
882
00:53:12,776 --> 00:53:16,237
- I'm Tom.
- Tom. Then you must be Hope.
883
00:53:16,279 --> 00:53:18,948
Hi, Samantha Donnelly.
I follow you on Twitter.
884
00:53:19,032 --> 00:53:20,950
- Well, thank you.
- She reads your blog.
885
00:53:21,701 --> 00:53:23,244
Then who's Hope?
886
00:53:23,286 --> 00:53:27,540
I'm Hope! Over here! That's me!
I'm seven! I'm Hope!
887
00:53:27,624 --> 00:53:30,627
How are you?
Let me show you around.
888
00:53:31,461 --> 00:53:32,962
Come on you, you started all this.
889
00:53:33,088 --> 00:53:34,464
Oh, I did.
890
00:53:35,423 --> 00:53:37,759
Mom, Dad, you're not going to believe it!
891
00:53:37,801 --> 00:53:39,386
Hope! Hope!
892
00:53:39,469 --> 00:53:42,430
She's okay. She'll be all right.
She's fine.
893
00:53:42,472 --> 00:53:46,101
It was in the first grade when we started
to notice that she was having some trouble.
894
00:53:46,142 --> 00:53:47,936
Yeah, we got a tutor for her once a week,
895
00:53:47,977 --> 00:53:50,814
and I do these exercises with her,
every night really.
896
00:53:50,897 --> 00:53:51,898
But she's got trouble with focus.
897
00:53:51,981 --> 00:53:53,316
It's been a real struggle for us.
898
00:53:53,775 --> 00:53:54,901
Really.
899
00:53:54,984 --> 00:53:56,569
Yeah. Yeah.
900
00:53:57,153 --> 00:54:00,824
Most schools try to train children
like Hope to fit into their systems.
901
00:54:00,949 --> 00:54:02,949
We prefer to tailor a program
to the child's needs.
902
00:54:02,992 --> 00:54:04,911
It's like one big IEP here.
903
00:54:04,994 --> 00:54:07,872
Individualized Educational Program?
904
00:54:07,956 --> 00:54:09,249
IEP.
905
00:54:10,125 --> 00:54:11,167
You've been doing your homework,
Mr. Collins.
906
00:54:11,292 --> 00:54:12,544
Got it right here.
907
00:54:14,004 --> 00:54:16,089
Come on, let me show you the rest.
908
00:54:16,172 --> 00:54:18,052
Do you remember
who did the original assessment?
909
00:54:18,425 --> 00:54:19,801
You having fun?
910
00:54:19,843 --> 00:54:22,303
A little, yeah. I'm very excited.
911
00:54:23,513 --> 00:54:25,765
We're only half speed
during our summer programs.
912
00:54:25,849 --> 00:54:27,569
But you can still get a sense of the place.
913
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:29,519
Oh, yeah, I got a sense of it already.
914
00:54:29,602 --> 00:54:30,603
How about that, huh?
915
00:54:30,687 --> 00:54:34,482
So, is this just K through 5
or all the way K through 8?
916
00:54:34,524 --> 00:54:36,484
No, elementary and middle.
917
00:54:36,526 --> 00:54:37,819
We'd carry her through the 8th grade
918
00:54:37,861 --> 00:54:39,195
and then we'd place her
in one of our accredited...
919
00:54:39,279 --> 00:54:42,323
No, no, no. We live in New Jersey.
We can't come all the way in...
920
00:54:42,407 --> 00:54:44,200
No, she'll have a driver.
921
00:54:44,242 --> 00:54:45,452
Every day.
922
00:54:45,577 --> 00:54:48,246
To and from school.
Every day, through college.
923
00:54:50,582 --> 00:54:53,376
Put that in writing. Guaranteed.
924
00:54:54,210 --> 00:54:56,588
A more formal interview
is required, obviously.
925
00:54:56,671 --> 00:54:59,341
But considering
Mr. Collins' generous donation
926
00:54:59,424 --> 00:55:02,927
and what I see in Hope's records,
I suspect the interview will go well.
927
00:55:03,845 --> 00:55:06,848
You have a lot to discuss,
but trust me, you want this.
928
00:55:07,098 --> 00:55:08,778
This can change the course of Hope's life.
929
00:55:09,184 --> 00:55:11,227
- I'll give you guys a minute.
- Thank you, Doc.
930
00:55:11,561 --> 00:55:12,729
You're a good grandpa.
931
00:55:13,396 --> 00:55:14,397
Thank you, man.
932
00:55:14,481 --> 00:55:17,275
- Thank you so much for... Thank you.
- Yeah.
933
00:55:18,943 --> 00:55:23,281
So, now that the educational
portion of the day is over,
934
00:55:23,406 --> 00:55:25,950
uh, let's get to the fun stuff.
935
00:55:26,451 --> 00:55:29,329
What fun stuff? Like...
No, we're just gonna go back home. Right?
936
00:55:29,412 --> 00:55:30,997
No, you said a day. Remember?
937
00:55:31,081 --> 00:55:32,123
No, I didn't.
938
00:55:32,207 --> 00:55:33,291
- We agreed to it, Samantha.
- Yes, he did!
939
00:55:33,375 --> 00:55:34,417
Yes, he did.
940
00:55:34,501 --> 00:55:36,127
I don't think "agreed" is the word.
941
00:55:36,211 --> 00:55:38,463
- I didn't agree to a day.
- Samantha. For God's sake.
942
00:55:38,797 --> 00:55:39,798
Okay.
943
00:55:39,881 --> 00:55:41,174
Samantha, you were there.
944
00:55:41,257 --> 00:55:42,967
Okay. We agreed. We agreed to a day.
945
00:55:43,051 --> 00:55:45,387
And when I check it,
946
00:55:47,097 --> 00:55:48,431
day ain't over yet.
947
00:55:49,641 --> 00:55:52,310
It's not over, Dad!
948
00:55:52,936 --> 00:55:53,978
Everything he says upsets me.
949
00:55:54,062 --> 00:55:56,742
- Every single thing he says upsets me.
- Let him have this one day.
950
00:56:28,972 --> 00:56:30,223
Stay here, I got her.
951
00:56:30,974 --> 00:56:32,225
Kiss?
952
00:56:38,606 --> 00:56:44,195
I wanna say something,
but I'm afraid I'm going to be too nice.
953
00:56:45,697 --> 00:56:47,198
Good night, Samantha.
954
00:56:48,074 --> 00:56:52,954
Thank you. Thank you.
955
00:56:58,168 --> 00:57:01,004
Jimmy, you wanna help her, please?
956
00:57:01,087 --> 00:57:02,672
Watch your head, honey.
957
00:57:03,757 --> 00:57:06,301
Thank you so much, Jimmy.
Thank you, guys.
958
00:57:06,593 --> 00:57:10,555
Jimmy, give us a minute. Thanks.
959
00:57:28,782 --> 00:57:30,742
You are a ridiculous man.
960
00:57:33,286 --> 00:57:35,705
You know, I've spent my entire life
961
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,834
trying to become the man that you aren't.
962
00:57:41,086 --> 00:57:42,754
I am exhausted.
963
00:57:44,130 --> 00:57:47,133
You have no idea
how exhausting that has been.
964
00:57:50,220 --> 00:57:52,722
You know, when I met your mom,
965
00:57:54,140 --> 00:57:55,975
I was so strung out
966
00:57:56,768 --> 00:57:58,728
on God knows what.
967
00:57:58,812 --> 00:58:00,021
And when I found out,
968
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:01,856
you know...
969
00:58:03,024 --> 00:58:04,651
I, uh, tried to help.
970
00:58:05,402 --> 00:58:06,653
Send money.
971
00:58:07,779 --> 00:58:11,032
She wouldn't have any of it. Refused it.
972
00:58:12,367 --> 00:58:14,369
But, you know, my life was so extreme.
973
00:58:14,452 --> 00:58:18,081
It was so full of drugs and women...
974
00:58:18,456 --> 00:58:23,336
Traveling. All that rock star shit.
975
00:58:24,546 --> 00:58:26,464
I always thought, whoever you were,
976
00:58:26,548 --> 00:58:30,885
that you'd be better off
with a more normal life.
977
00:58:30,969 --> 00:58:34,014
More normal people.
978
00:58:34,097 --> 00:58:36,307
I don't know
979
00:58:36,391 --> 00:58:41,354
how I allowed it to go on this long.
980
00:58:48,111 --> 00:58:53,283
What you did today,
your slate's clean with me.
981
00:58:54,993 --> 00:58:57,620
But that's as far as this goes, okay?
982
00:58:59,372 --> 00:59:02,417
- I want to be a part of your life.
- It's not a good time right now.
983
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:04,836
This is not the right time, okay?
984
00:59:06,171 --> 00:59:08,531
- Why is this not the right time?
- It's not the right time.
985
00:59:16,556 --> 00:59:17,682
What's the matter?
986
00:59:17,766 --> 00:59:19,100
I'm sick.
987
00:59:22,854 --> 00:59:23,855
Shit.
988
00:59:25,982 --> 00:59:29,235
You're sick? What do you mean?
989
00:59:29,319 --> 00:59:31,613
It's what Mom died...
990
00:59:33,531 --> 00:59:35,784
It's in the blood.
991
00:59:35,867 --> 00:59:37,327
It's pretty bad.
992
00:59:41,498 --> 00:59:42,957
Fuck.
993
00:59:44,959 --> 00:59:46,670
Fuck, you're kidding me?
994
00:59:47,837 --> 00:59:50,340
I just met you.
995
00:59:50,382 --> 00:59:52,133
You gotta be fucking kidding me!
996
00:59:53,426 --> 00:59:54,928
Oh, man, I'm sorry.
997
00:59:55,220 --> 00:59:59,683
Obviously, that wasn't a great thing,
a great reaction. I'm sorry.
998
00:59:59,766 --> 01:00:00,892
No, that's okay.
999
01:00:00,975 --> 01:00:02,769
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay, man. Look...
1000
01:00:02,852 --> 01:00:06,231
Look, I'm the one that should be sorry.
I mean, after all, you're...
1001
01:00:06,314 --> 01:00:08,775
You're Danny Collins, right? I mean, uh...
1002
01:00:08,858 --> 01:00:12,028
Who the fuck am I
to get in the way of your happy ending?
1003
01:00:12,112 --> 01:00:13,279
...Tom, Tom, Tom...
1004
01:00:13,363 --> 01:00:16,574
Let me ask you something.
How did you think this was going to end,
1005
01:00:16,658 --> 01:00:18,493
that little movie
you've got going on in your head?
1006
01:00:18,535 --> 01:00:21,788
What, you thought you'd just show up
out of the blue, out of nowhere, really,
1007
01:00:21,871 --> 01:00:23,957
and fix my little girl,
1008
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,585
and then, what, you and me hold hands
and cry as the music swells, is that it?
1009
01:00:27,669 --> 01:00:28,878
- Don't you fucking touch me.
- If I meant that...
1010
01:00:28,962 --> 01:00:30,005
Don't fucking touch me!
1011
01:00:31,047 --> 01:00:33,299
Look, you want a little bit
of the real world, huh?
1012
01:00:33,383 --> 01:00:35,051
You wanna do, like, normal?
1013
01:00:35,093 --> 01:00:37,679
How's this for normal, superstar?
1014
01:00:37,721 --> 01:00:40,181
I got a $200,000 mortgage.
1015
01:00:40,265 --> 01:00:41,808
I got a pregnant wife.
1016
01:00:41,891 --> 01:00:45,603
And, oh, yeah, I got this rare form of
leukemia that's probably going to kill me.
1017
01:00:45,687 --> 01:00:47,897
Welcome home, Dad. See what you missed?
1018
01:00:48,898 --> 01:00:50,400
I don't know what to say.
1019
01:00:50,483 --> 01:00:53,820
I don't need you to say anything, man.
I just need you to leave.
1020
01:00:53,903 --> 01:00:55,905
Let me go back inside and talk to my wife
1021
01:00:55,947 --> 01:00:57,574
before she asks me
what the hell we're talking about.
1022
01:00:57,657 --> 01:00:58,950
Wait, hold it!
1023
01:01:00,493 --> 01:01:02,245
She doesn't know?
1024
01:01:02,996 --> 01:01:05,040
Are you crazy?
1025
01:01:08,626 --> 01:01:10,587
That's no good, man.
1026
01:01:10,628 --> 01:01:13,256
Look, I got a great doctor in New York.
1027
01:01:14,924 --> 01:01:19,971
He's talking about three weeks
of this target therapy shit.
1028
01:01:20,055 --> 01:01:21,973
I'm not going to lose my hair.
1029
01:01:22,057 --> 01:01:25,852
Within a month, they know if it's taken.
If it's taken, then maybe I stand a chance.
1030
01:01:25,935 --> 01:01:29,314
And if it doesn't, then it happens quick.
1031
01:01:30,899 --> 01:01:34,611
Sam is six months into a rough pregnancy.
1032
01:01:34,694 --> 01:01:37,280
So I'll tell her after the baby.
1033
01:01:38,323 --> 01:01:43,119
I'm going to Delaware on a job.
That's what she knows.
1034
01:01:43,411 --> 01:01:46,414
I mean, you're going to need help.
You have a friend?
1035
01:01:46,873 --> 01:01:48,500
She's my friend.
1036
01:01:50,377 --> 01:01:54,881
Then, uh... Whatever. I'll be there.
1037
01:01:56,466 --> 01:01:58,468
I mean, what else is there?
1038
01:01:58,551 --> 01:02:00,303
Be where?
1039
01:02:00,345 --> 01:02:01,930
Wherever.
1040
01:02:02,013 --> 01:02:04,516
I mean, you need me, I'll be...
1041
01:02:04,599 --> 01:02:07,268
- No, no, no, I don't need you.
- You do...
1042
01:02:07,310 --> 01:02:08,687
That's not what this is about.
1043
01:02:08,770 --> 01:02:13,191
This is not open for discussion.
This is not open for discussion.
1044
01:02:13,274 --> 01:02:15,902
You're going to have to deal with it.
1045
01:02:15,985 --> 01:02:20,073
Because I'm here to fucking stay.
1046
01:02:51,271 --> 01:02:53,523
- Hi.
- Hey.
1047
01:02:53,565 --> 01:02:55,734
So, how'd it go?
1048
01:02:55,817 --> 01:02:59,612
Well, yeah. You know, it was just...
1049
01:03:00,697 --> 01:03:01,948
You know, yeah.
1050
01:03:02,323 --> 01:03:04,909
No, I get it. I get it.
Family can be messy.
1051
01:03:05,035 --> 01:03:06,286
Right?
1052
01:03:06,369 --> 01:03:09,789
Yeah, that is true.
That is definitely true.
1053
01:03:09,873 --> 01:03:11,833
In this case, yes.
1054
01:03:11,916 --> 01:03:14,836
Exactly, I mean, you're meeting
your grown son for the first time.
1055
01:03:14,919 --> 01:03:17,756
You didn't expect it to be easy, right?
1056
01:03:17,839 --> 01:03:20,717
I thought it'd be
fucking easier than this.
1057
01:03:21,217 --> 01:03:23,595
Right. Yeah.
1058
01:03:25,555 --> 01:03:27,974
You know, every part of me right now
1059
01:03:28,058 --> 01:03:31,644
would like to just go in there
and get soused with you.
1060
01:03:32,604 --> 01:03:33,605
But...
1061
01:03:34,689 --> 01:03:36,649
I'm going to go upstairs instead.
1062
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:38,651
That's good, right?
1063
01:03:38,735 --> 01:03:42,030
Yeah, no. There's a piano up there
with your name on it.
1064
01:03:42,447 --> 01:03:43,990
Only if my name is Steinway.
1065
01:03:46,659 --> 01:03:48,161
So we got our patter back.
1066
01:03:52,165 --> 01:03:53,416
You're cool.
1067
01:03:55,502 --> 01:03:57,170
I am not cool.
1068
01:03:57,295 --> 01:03:58,880
Yes, you are.
1069
01:03:58,963 --> 01:04:00,423
I am not cool.
1070
01:04:02,717 --> 01:04:07,806
It's spring in my mind
1071
01:04:09,849 --> 01:04:14,229
But the autumn leaves they fall
1072
01:04:17,315 --> 01:04:21,569
As I am walking by
1073
01:04:22,779 --> 01:04:25,281
I collect them all
1074
01:04:25,323 --> 01:04:27,617
Now I have had success
with this in the past.
1075
01:04:27,701 --> 01:04:29,411
But I'm not going to lie to you,
Mr. Donnelly.
1076
01:04:29,452 --> 01:04:32,205
The next several weeks
aren't going to be pretty.
1077
01:04:32,622 --> 01:04:36,292
Most people are a little alarmed
at how awful it can feel.
1078
01:04:36,793 --> 01:04:38,461
And that will get worse.
1079
01:04:43,633 --> 01:04:44,968
This okay?
1080
01:04:54,352 --> 01:04:56,896
Who is Jackie Joyner-Kersee?
1081
01:05:05,905 --> 01:05:07,741
You don't like chicken noodle soup?
1082
01:05:07,866 --> 01:05:09,826
How the fuck do you not like
chicken noodle soup?
1083
01:05:09,868 --> 01:05:12,537
I don't like noodles, okay?
1084
01:05:12,662 --> 01:05:14,831
Makes me think of worms.
1085
01:05:21,755 --> 01:05:23,048
Surprise.
1086
01:05:25,675 --> 01:05:28,178
My uncle took me fishing one time.
He took the worm,
1087
01:05:28,219 --> 01:05:30,722
put it in his mouth and he ate it
just to fuck with me, okay?
1088
01:05:30,847 --> 01:05:32,515
And now, whenever I see a noodle,
1089
01:05:32,557 --> 01:05:36,519
I think of my fat slob of an uncle
eating a worm and it freaks me out.
1090
01:05:40,190 --> 01:05:43,485
- Well, look at this.
- This technique...
1091
01:05:43,526 --> 01:05:47,238
- You made the picture.
- I made the picture. Yeah.
1092
01:05:48,031 --> 01:05:49,783
Don't get cocky.
1093
01:05:49,908 --> 01:05:51,993
What kind of uncle screws up a little kid,
1094
01:05:52,077 --> 01:05:54,079
makes him phobic
about chicken noodle soup?
1095
01:05:54,162 --> 01:05:56,539
- That I don't get.
- Get out!
1096
01:06:04,255 --> 01:06:06,383
A, B minor, C sharp.
1097
01:06:06,466 --> 01:06:07,884
I don't know what that means.
1098
01:06:07,967 --> 01:06:10,011
No, no. Listen, let me teach you.
1099
01:06:10,053 --> 01:06:13,682
Let me teach you, petulant little fucker.
1100
01:06:16,976 --> 01:06:20,939
Okay, so three weeks from today
we'll go over the test results together,
1101
01:06:21,022 --> 01:06:23,817
and that'll dictate
what our next steps should be.
1102
01:06:23,900 --> 01:06:27,487
But for now, let's just hope for the best.
Stay positive, all right?
1103
01:06:27,570 --> 01:06:28,697
Yeah, thank you.
1104
01:06:28,738 --> 01:06:30,281
- Thanks, Doc.
- Thank you.
1105
01:06:34,786 --> 01:06:38,415
And I'm walking blind upon this road
1106
01:06:38,498 --> 01:06:41,584
In search of higher ground
1107
01:06:42,085 --> 01:06:48,591
I'm walking blind upon this road
in search of higher ground
1108
01:06:49,843 --> 01:06:56,349
Walking blind upon this road
in search of higher ground
1109
01:06:57,267 --> 01:07:00,979
Don't look back
1110
01:07:04,441 --> 01:07:06,818
Don't look back
1111
01:07:11,865 --> 01:07:16,119
Don't look back
1112
01:07:18,204 --> 01:07:20,790
And don't look down
1113
01:07:36,973 --> 01:07:40,810
Come in! It's unbolty thinged.
1114
01:07:42,354 --> 01:07:44,230
- Hi.
- Hi.
1115
01:07:45,065 --> 01:07:46,566
Yeah, so, I got your note.
1116
01:07:46,649 --> 01:07:49,486
Yeah, so, what do you think?
1117
01:07:50,987 --> 01:07:54,157
Well, okay, okay.
1118
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,160
"Pictures from my life
as I'm walking down the hall.
1119
01:07:57,994 --> 01:08:00,413
"As I'm walking by, I collect them all."
1120
01:08:01,539 --> 01:08:03,083
- What do you think?
- Well...
1121
01:08:03,833 --> 01:08:07,253
You're aware that I have no basis
in musical knowledge or theory.
1122
01:08:07,337 --> 01:08:09,005
- Okay. Yeah.
- Okay.
1123
01:08:09,047 --> 01:08:11,007
- So, you still want my opinion?
- Of course.
1124
01:08:11,341 --> 01:08:16,179
Well, I think I kind of liked it better
the way it was, with the leaves.
1125
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,014
Really?
1126
01:08:18,056 --> 01:08:20,350
Yeah, the leaves and... Yeah.
1127
01:08:21,226 --> 01:08:22,227
Me, too.
1128
01:08:26,022 --> 01:08:28,191
I just wanted to get you back
in my room again.
1129
01:08:28,900 --> 01:08:31,861
So now I can ask you
out to dinner, right?
1130
01:08:31,986 --> 01:08:33,363
Play this in a concert, okay?
1131
01:08:33,405 --> 01:08:34,739
Then you can take me to dinner.
1132
01:08:35,073 --> 01:08:36,408
You're a dinner tease.
1133
01:08:36,533 --> 01:08:37,826
I am not a dinner tease.
1134
01:08:37,867 --> 01:08:41,538
You're a huge dinner tease.
I found you out.
1135
01:08:41,663 --> 01:08:43,415
Oh, you're terrible.
1136
01:08:46,001 --> 01:08:50,005
This is my second time
in New Jersey in two months.
1137
01:08:50,046 --> 01:08:52,382
I am not happy about that.
1138
01:08:52,507 --> 01:08:56,845
Frank. Gee, I owed you a call.
1139
01:08:56,886 --> 01:08:59,222
Oh, Frank. I'm so sorry.
1140
01:08:59,264 --> 01:09:01,141
But you know what
it's like when I'm workin'.
1141
01:09:02,726 --> 01:09:04,561
- I've been so busy...
- Yeah, apparently.
1142
01:09:05,603 --> 01:09:07,063
May I...
1143
01:09:07,230 --> 01:09:11,818
Oh, yeah, sure. This is Frank Grubman.
1144
01:09:11,901 --> 01:09:14,404
My manager and my best friend.
1145
01:09:14,446 --> 01:09:15,697
- Hello. Hello.
- Hello.
1146
01:09:15,739 --> 01:09:18,199
This is Mary. She's my new girlfriend.
1147
01:09:18,241 --> 01:09:19,325
Oh, really?
1148
01:09:19,409 --> 01:09:21,286
Well, I'm working on it.
You know, I mean...
1149
01:09:21,703 --> 01:09:24,956
- She's a big dinner tease.
- I'm not. I am not.
1150
01:09:25,081 --> 01:09:28,585
Yes, yes, yes.
She keeps moving the goal post. No?
1151
01:09:29,252 --> 01:09:33,298
Mary, would you mind
if I had a word with Danny in private?
1152
01:09:33,381 --> 01:09:34,758
Oh, no, of course. Of course.
1153
01:09:34,883 --> 01:09:37,469
Excuse me. Excuse me.
1154
01:09:37,594 --> 01:09:39,596
Yeah, I think you've said enough.
1155
01:09:40,388 --> 01:09:42,390
Okay, dinner tonight.
1156
01:09:42,432 --> 01:09:44,225
Yeah, you're ridiculous.
1157
01:09:46,102 --> 01:09:47,103
She's lovely.
1158
01:09:47,145 --> 01:09:48,229
And age appropriate.
1159
01:09:48,646 --> 01:09:49,689
No, not really.
1160
01:09:49,814 --> 01:09:50,815
Baby steps.
1161
01:09:50,940 --> 01:09:54,486
Yeah. All right, sit, sit, sit.
We need to talk.
1162
01:09:54,569 --> 01:09:56,654
I know.
There's a lot I want to tell you, pal.
1163
01:09:56,780 --> 01:09:59,449
Unfortunately,
I have my manager hat on right now.
1164
01:10:02,452 --> 01:10:05,955
Okay. What's up?
1165
01:10:05,997 --> 01:10:09,084
I've been going over things with Bill
1166
01:10:09,125 --> 01:10:12,128
and you're not exactly
where you think you are.
1167
01:10:13,672 --> 01:10:16,466
Okay. Where am I?
1168
01:10:16,549 --> 01:10:20,095
A little ahead when we sell properties.
But only a little.
1169
01:10:20,136 --> 01:10:23,765
I mean, we shouldn't have sold
your publishing rights so early.
1170
01:10:23,807 --> 01:10:27,143
All those properties,
the housing market has collapsed.
1171
01:10:27,185 --> 01:10:30,021
The private plane, your lifestyle.
1172
01:10:30,105 --> 01:10:33,316
The Madoff thing,
that absolutely killed you, as you know.
1173
01:10:33,441 --> 01:10:37,320
But, uh, you're not bankrupt or anything.
1174
01:10:37,987 --> 01:10:42,283
It's just that you need to understand
how serious it is.
1175
01:10:42,826 --> 01:10:46,162
Okay. So what do I do?
1176
01:10:46,287 --> 01:10:47,789
One of two things.
1177
01:10:47,997 --> 01:10:50,667
You start living like a normal human.
1178
01:10:50,792 --> 01:10:54,170
You buy a Prius, you fly Continental,
you know, that kind of shit.
1179
01:10:54,254 --> 01:10:56,089
Or you go back on tour.
1180
01:10:57,132 --> 01:11:00,677
And this last tour
was my retirement plan for you.
1181
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:02,280
- I mean, we had a big piece.
- I know.
1182
01:11:02,345 --> 01:11:03,680
- Concessions!
- I know.
1183
01:11:03,805 --> 01:11:05,515
- Merchandise!
- I know.
1184
01:11:06,474 --> 01:11:08,184
I'm writing, Frank.
1185
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,729
- Oh, Danny.
- I'm telling you, it's good.
1186
01:11:11,271 --> 01:11:13,356
Mary thinks it's really good.
1187
01:11:13,690 --> 01:11:18,820
Oh, the Woodcliff Lake Hotel manager?
Oh, oh, okay. Well, now I feel much better.
1188
01:11:18,862 --> 01:11:20,697
Just get me a gig.
1189
01:11:20,822 --> 01:11:22,407
- A gig?
- A gig, yeah.
1190
01:11:22,490 --> 01:11:24,826
Something small, not a big arena.
1191
01:11:24,868 --> 01:11:27,662
Just, you know, something
like Springsteen would go do.
1192
01:11:28,121 --> 01:11:30,498
"Like Springsteen would do."
1193
01:11:30,623 --> 01:11:32,500
Yeah, he just pops into these places...
1194
01:11:32,542 --> 01:11:35,545
Danny, Danny, Danny...
1195
01:11:35,628 --> 01:11:37,130
Do you even hear yourself?
1196
01:11:38,298 --> 01:11:39,382
This stuff is good.
1197
01:11:39,799 --> 01:11:41,343
Just give it a chance.
1198
01:11:41,718 --> 01:11:44,554
And then, we'll tour.
1199
01:11:46,181 --> 01:11:48,850
And the bonus is that, uh,
1200
01:11:50,810 --> 01:11:52,729
I won't think about killing
myself every night.
1201
01:11:56,399 --> 01:11:57,567
Okay?
1202
01:11:59,235 --> 01:12:00,695
Okay.
1203
01:12:02,155 --> 01:12:04,240
Okay,
I'm going to make an announcement.
1204
01:12:04,324 --> 01:12:05,367
- All right.
- All right.
1205
01:12:05,408 --> 01:12:07,285
- Are you ready?
- Yup.
1206
01:12:07,452 --> 01:12:09,037
Uh...
1207
01:12:09,079 --> 01:12:11,247
I'll be playing a gig in a bar.
1208
01:12:11,289 --> 01:12:12,290
Oh, a gig?
1209
01:12:12,415 --> 01:12:14,834
- On Friday night.
- A gig?
1210
01:12:14,918 --> 01:12:16,294
What's a gig?
1211
01:12:16,419 --> 01:12:19,255
A gig. A gig is where
I sing in front of people.
1212
01:12:19,589 --> 01:12:20,840
I wanna hear you sing.
1213
01:12:20,924 --> 01:12:22,164
And I want you to hear me sing.
1214
01:12:22,258 --> 01:12:25,428
I want you to hear me sing
more than anything in the world.
1215
01:12:25,970 --> 01:12:30,266
But we have to check it out
with Mom and Pop and see if it's okay.
1216
01:12:30,308 --> 01:12:31,393
It's at a bar, huh?
1217
01:12:31,434 --> 01:12:32,977
I'm going to go to a gig at a bar.
1218
01:12:33,645 --> 01:12:35,689
Oh, it's an upscale bar.
You know, it's got...
1219
01:12:35,772 --> 01:12:37,148
What's an upscale bar?
1220
01:12:37,273 --> 01:12:39,984
Fully appropriate cocktail menu.
Cover charge...
1221
01:12:40,110 --> 01:12:41,861
- Cover charge! Really?
- Yes, that's right.
1222
01:12:41,945 --> 01:12:44,114
You're doing things with cover charges now?
1223
01:12:44,364 --> 01:12:47,283
This place big enough for you
to be able to do your moves?
1224
01:12:49,202 --> 01:12:50,704
Man, nothing holds my moves back.
1225
01:12:50,787 --> 01:12:53,248
That's what we wanna see.
That's what we're looking for.
1226
01:12:53,289 --> 01:12:54,791
Yeah.
1227
01:12:54,833 --> 01:12:57,544
Another Danny Collins?
I think it's called "the Danny Collins."
1228
01:12:57,627 --> 01:13:01,464
Hey, baby doll
What's goin' on?
1229
01:13:01,965 --> 01:13:03,299
I don't want that to start.
1230
01:13:03,717 --> 01:13:06,302
So what do you think? Show starts 7:30.
1231
01:13:06,386 --> 01:13:08,972
- Done by 9:00.
- 9:00?
1232
01:13:09,055 --> 01:13:10,223
- Yeah, it's late.
- That's late.
1233
01:13:10,306 --> 01:13:11,558
- But not too late.
- I don't know.
1234
01:13:11,641 --> 01:13:14,161
You sure your crowd's going to be able
to stay awake until 9:00?
1235
01:13:14,227 --> 01:13:15,812
They going to be conscious?
1236
01:13:15,895 --> 01:13:17,480
We're going to have to call the club
1237
01:13:17,564 --> 01:13:20,316
and let them know that there might be
a whole room full of snoring old ladies.
1238
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,444
That's good, I'm gonna give them a call
and give them a heads up,
1239
01:13:22,485 --> 01:13:23,486
make sure they know.
1240
01:13:23,570 --> 01:13:25,155
Oh, you're so kind.
1241
01:13:25,864 --> 01:13:28,366
So what are we going to do?
We going to get your permission?
1242
01:13:28,491 --> 01:13:31,327
Are we going to get Mommy and Daddy
to say, "Yes, it's okay"?
1243
01:13:31,369 --> 01:13:33,079
Because it's a big thing for me.
1244
01:13:33,747 --> 01:13:36,207
And it would help if
I had these cheeks there.
1245
01:13:36,541 --> 01:13:38,168
These cheeks will be there.
1246
01:13:38,209 --> 01:13:43,340
There you go. From the cheeksy-mouth.
1247
01:13:44,507 --> 01:13:47,844
Babe? Do you hear this?
It's been going on...
1248
01:13:47,927 --> 01:13:49,888
When are you going to get yourself
to the doctor already?
1249
01:13:49,971 --> 01:13:51,639
- It's just a little bug.
- It's not a little bug.
1250
01:13:51,681 --> 01:13:54,184
It's been happening for weeks,
at least since you got back.
1251
01:13:54,267 --> 01:13:57,604
Hope, is your Daddy
the most stubborn man on the planet?
1252
01:13:57,687 --> 01:14:00,190
Don't be so stubborn, Daddy!
1253
01:14:00,231 --> 01:14:01,274
I'm fine, baby.
1254
01:14:01,358 --> 01:14:02,776
Yeah, don't be so stubborn, Daddy!
1255
01:14:02,859 --> 01:14:05,899
He'd rather walk around like the living
dead instead of just get antibiotics.
1256
01:14:05,904 --> 01:14:07,364
Listen to Mama!
1257
01:14:07,447 --> 01:14:09,847
- Gotta listen to Mama. That's a good idea.
- Listen to Mama.
1258
01:14:10,200 --> 01:14:11,534
Stubborn man.
1259
01:14:12,869 --> 01:14:14,537
Stubborn man.
1260
01:14:21,378 --> 01:14:24,964
Hey, baby doll
What's goin' on?
1261
01:14:29,594 --> 01:14:32,097
Yes, all the way. Yes!
1262
01:15:06,923 --> 01:15:10,135
Jesus. You look like Lee Trevino.
1263
01:15:12,679 --> 01:15:14,889
- Samantha took me shopping.
- Oh.
1264
01:15:14,973 --> 01:15:17,642
You ever hear of this place,
the Banana Republic?
1265
01:15:17,726 --> 01:15:19,644
- Yeah, I think so.
- It's an amazing place.
1266
01:15:20,770 --> 01:15:23,940
Yeah, okay. The house is packed.
1267
01:15:24,024 --> 01:15:25,233
Oh, that's good.
1268
01:15:25,316 --> 01:15:26,735
Band's out there, ready.
1269
01:15:26,818 --> 01:15:30,864
Phil can step in on piano
if you need him for the new stuff.
1270
01:15:30,947 --> 01:15:32,741
Family's up front.
1271
01:15:33,950 --> 01:15:38,163
And I saved a spot for Mary.
She's with them.
1272
01:15:38,288 --> 01:15:39,664
Speak of the devil.
1273
01:15:40,373 --> 01:15:41,916
Break a leg, kid.
1274
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,251
Just tell me whose.
1275
01:15:45,420 --> 01:15:47,130
Go on in. He'll be thrilled to see you.
1276
01:15:47,172 --> 01:15:48,673
- Well, thank you.
- Thank you.
1277
01:15:48,757 --> 01:15:51,134
Okay, bye, see you later out there.
1278
01:15:51,217 --> 01:15:56,973
Oh, my God, thank you for the VIP ticket.
I am right in the front row.
1279
01:15:57,057 --> 01:16:01,603
I thought I'd come back and see
how you're doing, you know. You nervous?
1280
01:16:01,686 --> 01:16:04,689
Mary, you know,
I've done this a zillion times.
1281
01:16:04,773 --> 01:16:08,151
I'm never nervous. Hand to God, not once.
1282
01:16:08,276 --> 01:16:09,444
Not once?
1283
01:16:11,196 --> 01:16:12,989
But I'm nervous now.
1284
01:16:13,156 --> 01:16:15,533
- No, that's nice.
- So this...
1285
01:16:16,993 --> 01:16:21,164
I mean, I guess this means
that finally you'll let me buy you dinner?
1286
01:16:21,831 --> 01:16:23,333
Let's see how you do first.
1287
01:16:24,959 --> 01:16:28,004
Give me a little more pressure.
Just what I need.
1288
01:16:28,088 --> 01:16:30,423
You know, this is kind of weird to say,
I know,
1289
01:16:30,507 --> 01:16:35,053
because I really haven't know you very long.
But I am very proud of you, Danny.
1290
01:16:35,470 --> 01:16:36,638
Wow...
1291
01:16:36,763 --> 01:16:39,182
That is fucking weird, Mary.
1292
01:16:39,265 --> 01:16:42,769
- You're sweet and weird. Just how I like 'em.
- There you go.
1293
01:16:42,852 --> 01:16:47,023
Okay. Well, there you go. Have a great time.
You're going to be fantastic.
1294
01:16:47,107 --> 01:16:49,859
Oh, thank you. I love you, Mary.
1295
01:16:50,151 --> 01:16:52,862
Uh, that's a show-business expression,
you know.
1296
01:16:52,946 --> 01:16:56,199
Kind of means I sort of like ya.
1297
01:16:57,450 --> 01:16:59,369
You still there?
1298
01:17:05,417 --> 01:17:07,127
You look really nice.
1299
01:17:07,836 --> 01:17:09,754
You look really nice, too.
1300
01:17:11,047 --> 01:17:12,549
Oh, for Christ's sake.
1301
01:17:13,425 --> 01:17:14,718
Oh, right.
1302
01:17:43,913 --> 01:17:45,999
Hi, Grandpa!
1303
01:17:50,170 --> 01:17:51,629
Grandpa!
1304
01:17:57,260 --> 01:18:00,889
Thank you. Thank you again.
1305
01:18:02,182 --> 01:18:03,308
Thank you three times.
1306
01:18:04,601 --> 01:18:06,895
My granddaughter, ladies and gentlemen.
1307
01:18:12,192 --> 01:18:13,943
Okay.
1308
01:18:14,027 --> 01:18:16,529
- Baby Doll!
- Baby Doll!
1309
01:18:30,210 --> 01:18:31,878
Come on, Danny, play Baby Doll!
1310
01:18:31,961 --> 01:18:34,547
- Yeah, Baby Doll!
- Whoo!
1311
01:18:34,631 --> 01:18:36,800
Play Baby Doll, Danny!
1312
01:18:36,883 --> 01:18:37,884
Whoo!
1313
01:18:38,677 --> 01:18:41,388
- Play Baby Doll!
- Baby Doll!
1314
01:18:41,471 --> 01:18:42,597
Baby Doll, Danny!
1315
01:18:42,681 --> 01:18:44,724
Baby Doll!
1316
01:18:44,808 --> 01:18:47,143
- Play Baby Doll, Danny!
- Baby Doll!
1317
01:18:47,227 --> 01:18:50,313
- Play Baby Doll, Danny!
- Play Baby Doll!
1318
01:19:05,412 --> 01:19:06,538
Phil.
1319
01:19:07,789 --> 01:19:09,541
Can you just...
1320
01:19:12,210 --> 01:19:14,295
- Hello, everybody.
- Hi, Danny.
1321
01:19:14,379 --> 01:19:17,340
Just working out a little something.
1322
01:19:17,674 --> 01:19:18,675
Uh...
1323
01:19:18,925 --> 01:19:21,803
But I know what you're here for.
1324
01:19:24,347 --> 01:19:25,682
I think you know this one.
1325
01:19:29,644 --> 01:19:31,896
Hey, baby doll
1326
01:19:31,980 --> 01:19:33,481
What's going on?
1327
01:20:32,707 --> 01:20:34,250
Danny!
1328
01:20:35,210 --> 01:20:36,211
Sophie!
1329
01:20:37,420 --> 01:20:39,964
- Danny Collins.
- What are you doing here?
1330
01:20:40,131 --> 01:20:43,051
Well, we heard about the gig and we're like,
"Let's go support our sugar daddy."
1331
01:20:43,134 --> 01:20:44,302
Oh, yeah...
1332
01:20:44,386 --> 01:20:47,681
And I used your credit card for the flight.
I hope that's okay.
1333
01:20:47,764 --> 01:20:49,516
What's up? What do you got on you?
1334
01:20:49,599 --> 01:20:50,600
What do you mean?
1335
01:20:50,684 --> 01:20:52,227
Come on. Come on. What do I mean?
1336
01:20:52,310 --> 01:20:53,436
Come on, babe, he wants to party.
1337
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:54,521
I wanna taste.
1338
01:20:54,604 --> 01:20:58,149
- I got it all, baby. I got it all.
- Okay.
1339
01:21:01,528 --> 01:21:02,570
Mmm.
1340
01:21:02,612 --> 01:21:04,197
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
1341
01:21:08,868 --> 01:21:10,787
Here you go, Danny.
1342
01:21:10,870 --> 01:21:12,831
- Oh, man.
- Yeah.
1343
01:21:12,914 --> 01:21:14,499
It's good.
1344
01:21:21,256 --> 01:21:23,508
I fired the pool guy and the gardener.
1345
01:21:23,591 --> 01:21:26,219
I really didn't like the
way he looked at me.
1346
01:21:26,302 --> 01:21:27,622
You know, I decided to start...
1347
01:21:27,637 --> 01:21:29,014
...Grandpa!
1348
01:21:29,389 --> 01:21:30,807
- Grandpa?
- Honey.
1349
01:21:32,142 --> 01:21:34,728
Hey, baby doll
1350
01:21:34,811 --> 01:21:37,105
What's goin' on?
1351
01:21:37,188 --> 01:21:38,481
Come here. Come on.
1352
01:21:38,565 --> 01:21:40,233
- Dad! What you doing?
- Go to Mommy. It's okay.
1353
01:21:40,358 --> 01:21:41,985
What are you doing? What are you doing?
1354
01:21:42,068 --> 01:21:44,195
Wasn't doing anything. I didn't know, uh...
1355
01:21:44,279 --> 01:21:46,531
I didn't know... Hi, Samantha. Hi.
1356
01:21:47,198 --> 01:21:52,537
This is my friend Sophie there.
And her friend, Busywork.
1357
01:21:53,038 --> 01:21:54,372
So what's goin' on?
1358
01:21:55,415 --> 01:21:57,417
What's the look?
1359
01:21:58,126 --> 01:21:59,127
Oh.
1360
01:21:59,252 --> 01:22:00,962
You just keep judging me, Tom.
1361
01:22:01,838 --> 01:22:02,839
You just judge me. Go ahead.
1362
01:22:02,922 --> 01:22:05,842
You judge me all you want.
It's fine, that's what you're good at.
1363
01:22:06,676 --> 01:22:08,970
And when you're done,
1364
01:22:09,054 --> 01:22:11,181
you know, being so fucking perfect
1365
01:22:11,890 --> 01:22:13,975
and honorable,
1366
01:22:14,059 --> 01:22:16,853
you should talk to your wife
about what you did in Delaware.
1367
01:22:20,607 --> 01:22:24,652
What's that? What's he mean? Tom?
1368
01:22:26,654 --> 01:22:28,531
I'll tell you when we get home.
1369
01:22:35,663 --> 01:22:37,415
Stay the fuck away from my family.
1370
01:22:37,499 --> 01:22:39,834
Tom. Let's go.
1371
01:22:46,091 --> 01:22:47,592
Bye, Hope.
1372
01:22:56,976 --> 01:22:58,770
Oh, man.
1373
01:23:31,386 --> 01:23:34,347
Come on, let's get the fuck out of here.
1374
01:24:11,176 --> 01:24:12,802
Who are you?
1375
01:24:14,721 --> 01:24:17,307
Oh, I'm sorry, I work for the hotel.
1376
01:24:17,349 --> 01:24:18,350
Oh, good. That's good.
1377
01:24:19,309 --> 01:24:21,311
We need more towels. Can you do that?
1378
01:24:21,394 --> 01:24:22,979
Mary!
1379
01:24:23,021 --> 01:24:24,314
- And some beer.
- Oh, Mary.
1380
01:24:24,397 --> 01:24:27,233
I'll get you some towels and some beer.
1381
01:24:33,490 --> 01:24:36,534
Mary, wait, wait, wait.
1382
01:24:36,659 --> 01:24:38,244
Mary, please.
1383
01:24:41,206 --> 01:24:43,583
- It's not...
- What happened last night?
1384
01:24:44,542 --> 01:24:46,169
Well, you know...
1385
01:24:46,211 --> 01:24:50,340
I just... It wasn't right, you know?
It wasn't the right time.
1386
01:24:50,382 --> 01:24:52,509
What are you talking about?
1387
01:24:52,592 --> 01:24:55,512
You've worked so hard
and your whole family was there.
1388
01:24:55,595 --> 01:24:56,596
- I know.
- Come on!
1389
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:58,056
I just couldn't...
1390
01:24:59,182 --> 01:25:00,266
I lost my nerve.
1391
01:25:00,350 --> 01:25:02,519
Oh, well, you lost your dinner, too.
1392
01:25:03,186 --> 01:25:04,437
Okay...
1393
01:25:04,521 --> 01:25:06,690
You should have played the song, Danny.
1394
01:25:06,773 --> 01:25:09,234
You should have at least played
the one fucking song.
1395
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:21,705
Take care, Jamie.
1396
01:25:22,789 --> 01:25:24,874
You, too, Mr. Collins.
1397
01:25:24,916 --> 01:25:28,378
You be good to Nicky. He's a good boy.
You got a wonderful face.
1398
01:25:29,713 --> 01:25:32,924
- Yours isn't so bad either, Mr. Collins.
- Oh.
1399
01:25:33,049 --> 01:25:35,719
Look at that. Now we're getting patter.
1400
01:25:40,557 --> 01:25:41,766
Okay.
1401
01:25:45,061 --> 01:25:47,939
You know, for the record, uh,
1402
01:25:49,065 --> 01:25:53,278
Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island,
1403
01:25:54,070 --> 01:25:56,740
her real name was Dawn Wells.
1404
01:25:56,823 --> 01:26:00,410
And she was Miss Nevada
before she got famous
1405
01:26:00,493 --> 01:26:03,496
and she couldn't hold
a fucking candle to you.
1406
01:26:13,131 --> 01:26:14,132
Bye.
1407
01:26:20,889 --> 01:26:23,641
Nicky. Oh, Nicky.
1408
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:25,602
What a pleasure it's been.
1409
01:26:25,685 --> 01:26:27,812
Pleasure's definitely been all mine, Danny.
1410
01:26:27,896 --> 01:26:31,441
I'm gonna miss you. Gonna miss you.
1411
01:26:32,567 --> 01:26:34,194
Look at this.
1412
01:26:34,402 --> 01:26:35,695
Ran out of hundreds.
1413
01:26:35,779 --> 01:26:37,989
Don't even worry about it. Come on.
1414
01:26:38,073 --> 01:26:40,283
I'll tell you what.
1415
01:26:41,451 --> 01:26:44,120
I'm in a giving vein today.
1416
01:26:50,168 --> 01:26:51,961
Come on, get outta here.
What are you talking about?
1417
01:26:52,045 --> 01:26:56,257
The second you stop appreciating
this piece of machinery,
1418
01:26:56,341 --> 01:26:58,176
then you give it to somebody else.
1419
01:26:58,259 --> 01:26:59,511
Deal?
1420
01:27:00,428 --> 01:27:01,429
Deal.
1421
01:27:03,306 --> 01:27:04,683
Go ahead, man.
1422
01:27:06,101 --> 01:27:07,477
God bless you, Danny Collins.
1423
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:08,895
Back at ya.
1424
01:27:09,145 --> 01:27:10,480
Whoo!
1425
01:27:10,522 --> 01:27:12,607
How much does insurance even cost...
1426
01:27:12,691 --> 01:27:15,026
Fuck it, I don't care. I don't care.
1427
01:27:15,694 --> 01:27:16,778
- Watch your head.
- Okay.
1428
01:27:25,995 --> 01:27:27,288
Okay, Danny.
1429
01:27:28,498 --> 01:27:30,959
I don't want the last thing
I ever said to you to be mean,
1430
01:27:31,042 --> 01:27:33,294
but I don't want to say anything nice.
1431
01:27:33,378 --> 01:27:35,255
So, Mr. Collins,
1432
01:27:35,338 --> 01:27:38,758
on behalf of the Woodcliff Lake Hilton,
we'd like to thank you for your stay.
1433
01:27:39,676 --> 01:27:44,264
And we hope that you will make Hilton
a home wherever your travels take you.
1434
01:27:46,516 --> 01:27:48,852
I'm grabbing a cab.
1435
01:27:49,894 --> 01:27:51,062
I see that.
1436
01:27:51,146 --> 01:27:54,899
I gave Nicky my Mercedes.
1437
01:27:55,942 --> 01:27:59,654
You gave your Mercedes to Nicky?
You are fucking crazy.
1438
01:27:59,738 --> 01:28:02,907
It's been said, yes. I
can afford it, though.
1439
01:28:02,991 --> 01:28:05,785
Frank called me this morning
and we're going back on tour.
1440
01:28:06,161 --> 01:28:09,831
I need the money. I got a family now.
1441
01:28:10,206 --> 01:28:11,708
So...
1442
01:28:11,791 --> 01:28:14,627
They hate my guts, but, uh...
1443
01:28:14,711 --> 01:28:16,504
I'm told that's what families do.
1444
01:28:16,963 --> 01:28:19,424
Yeah, that's right. I've taught you well.
1445
01:28:19,841 --> 01:28:23,845
Yeah. I'm going to play my new songs.
1446
01:28:24,304 --> 01:28:27,474
- Some of them. We'll see what happens.
- Ah.
1447
01:28:28,266 --> 01:28:29,559
I know what will happen.
1448
01:28:29,934 --> 01:28:33,688
- Yeah, they'll throw tomatoes at me.
- Yeah, and onions.
1449
01:28:36,983 --> 01:28:39,819
You know, I'm going to be here
in a couple of months.
1450
01:28:39,903 --> 01:28:42,322
You know, in the area.
We're playing the Garden.
1451
01:28:42,489 --> 01:28:43,490
Oh.
1452
01:28:43,740 --> 01:28:45,533
Yeah, maybe you'll come by, see the show.
1453
01:28:45,575 --> 01:28:49,204
We'll have, uh, dinner afterwards.
1454
01:28:49,287 --> 01:28:51,623
You know what I like about you?
You never give up.
1455
01:28:53,291 --> 01:28:55,502
Some dinners are worth fighting for.
1456
01:29:00,632 --> 01:29:03,885
I left something in the room for ya.
1457
01:29:03,968 --> 01:29:07,263
Yeah? You probably left me a big mess,
is what you left me.
1458
01:29:07,347 --> 01:29:10,475
Well, you know, rock stars.
1459
01:29:13,937 --> 01:29:15,397
So, uh...
1460
01:29:17,524 --> 01:29:19,776
Another life, huh?
1461
01:29:21,403 --> 01:29:23,446
You never know.
1462
01:30:25,091 --> 01:30:27,302
- Oh. Hi.
- Hey.
1463
01:30:27,427 --> 01:30:31,097
Hi, sorry, I don't think we met.
I'm Mary, the hotel manager.
1464
01:30:31,181 --> 01:30:33,141
- You must be Busywork?
- Yeah.
1465
01:30:33,183 --> 01:30:35,435
Uh, I'm Judd.
1466
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:38,688
- Judd, yeah, right. Okay, very good.
- Yeah, yeah.
1467
01:30:38,772 --> 01:30:41,191
- Anyway, checkout's noon.
- Sweet.
1468
01:31:09,886 --> 01:31:13,056
Christ, what, did he send you out here
to check up on me?
1469
01:31:13,139 --> 01:31:15,558
Well, the hotel didn't know what to do
with the damn piano.
1470
01:31:15,642 --> 01:31:17,477
So I thought you might want it.
1471
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:19,729
- I don't want his piano.
- Yeah?
1472
01:31:19,854 --> 01:31:22,357
Well, it took six hours
to move it out of the Hilton
1473
01:31:22,399 --> 01:31:25,068
and I don't know anyone else in New Jersey.
So tough shit.
1474
01:31:26,486 --> 01:31:32,200
Look, it's a $30,000 instrument, Tom.
Sell it, for all I care.
1475
01:31:36,705 --> 01:31:38,248
How's your health?
1476
01:31:39,833 --> 01:31:41,501
I find out in a few days.
1477
01:31:41,710 --> 01:31:42,711
Ah.
1478
01:31:43,670 --> 01:31:45,255
Your age.
1479
01:31:48,258 --> 01:31:51,261
You know, when I was in my 30s,
I started drinking, heavily.
1480
01:31:52,095 --> 01:31:55,098
Ah. Long line of drunks in my family.
1481
01:31:55,557 --> 01:31:57,767
All with the usual bullshit excuses.
1482
01:31:57,892 --> 01:32:00,270
Careful, gentlemen!
1483
01:32:00,395 --> 01:32:02,939
That is a Steinway!
1484
01:32:03,064 --> 01:32:04,607
Yes, sir!
1485
01:32:04,941 --> 01:32:10,238
Anyway, we were on tour in the Bay Area.
I fell asleep at the wheel.
1486
01:32:10,780 --> 01:32:12,907
Almost killed myself and others.
1487
01:32:12,949 --> 01:32:14,951
Danny bailed me out.
1488
01:32:15,035 --> 01:32:19,122
5:00 in the morning, he shows up
at the San Jose police station,
1489
01:32:19,247 --> 01:32:20,540
wacked out of his skull.
1490
01:32:21,541 --> 01:32:27,464
He drives me six hours
to this Hollywood rehab joint
1491
01:32:27,589 --> 01:32:30,216
drunker than I'd been the night before,
the dumb shit.
1492
01:32:31,051 --> 01:32:34,804
He visited me every
Saturday till I got dry,
1493
01:32:34,888 --> 01:32:37,932
and then once a week for 37 years,
1494
01:32:37,974 --> 01:32:44,356
I get four cases of bottled water,
sent to me wherever I am in the world.
1495
01:32:45,106 --> 01:32:47,108
Always with the same note.
1496
01:32:47,150 --> 01:32:51,071
"Drink as many as you want. On me. Danny."
1497
01:32:55,992 --> 01:32:58,328
Best friend I ever had, your father.
1498
01:33:01,831 --> 01:33:06,086
Yeah, the man saved my life
and got me stone-cold sober.
1499
01:33:06,169 --> 01:33:10,173
And was three sheets to the wind
the whole time he was doing it.
1500
01:33:10,298 --> 01:33:12,842
I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing your point.
1501
01:33:12,926 --> 01:33:15,345
The point, my boy,
1502
01:33:16,179 --> 01:33:18,181
is that he's got a good heart.
1503
01:33:18,807 --> 01:33:21,184
He just keeps it up his ass half the time.
1504
01:33:22,769 --> 01:33:26,106
What you do with that is up to you.
1505
01:33:26,815 --> 01:33:30,026
My waters will keep coming, no matter what.
1506
01:33:30,527 --> 01:33:33,363
All right, boys, let's move that puppy!
1507
01:33:33,446 --> 01:33:35,490
So I can get the fuck out of New Jersey.
1508
01:33:47,335 --> 01:33:50,463
So I'll see you guys in Pittsburgh?
1509
01:33:50,547 --> 01:33:55,885
Yeah. Frank is setting up the other events.
Okay, talk soon.
1510
01:34:02,726 --> 01:34:05,812
Okay. Now let's take a look
at the computer system.
1511
01:34:05,895 --> 01:34:07,731
I still don't know...
1512
01:34:36,676 --> 01:34:38,678
Have fun at the doctor.
1513
01:34:56,446 --> 01:34:58,948
Your favorite flower is...
1514
01:35:00,617 --> 01:35:02,077
Rose.
1515
01:35:02,410 --> 01:35:05,455
To smell it you breathe through your...
1516
01:35:06,623 --> 01:35:11,378
Hold it in as long as you can go,
and let it out in one big...
1517
01:36:39,507 --> 01:36:42,385
Hi. Tom Donnelly for Dr. Silverman.
1518
01:36:42,469 --> 01:36:45,096
Sure. Just have a seat, Mr. Donnelly.
1519
01:37:11,164 --> 01:37:13,541
So, uh, she's pissed?
1520
01:37:13,583 --> 01:37:16,086
Nah, she's thrilled. Thanks for asking.
1521
01:37:18,254 --> 01:37:21,591
Oh, that was such a horrible night for me.
It's no excuse.
1522
01:37:21,716 --> 01:37:24,928
Well, I can assure you
it was a worse night for me.
1523
01:37:30,433 --> 01:37:32,811
So she's not going to come at all?
1524
01:37:38,525 --> 01:37:40,068
She can barely move.
1525
01:37:41,444 --> 01:37:44,656
Doctor's got her on full bed rest now.
1526
01:37:46,074 --> 01:37:48,785
Plus whatever this news is,
I'd rather she heard it from me.
1527
01:37:48,868 --> 01:37:50,120
Not some doctor.
1528
01:37:51,329 --> 01:37:52,706
Mr. Donnelly?
1529
01:38:19,607 --> 01:38:21,651
Listen, if this news is bad...
1530
01:38:22,444 --> 01:38:23,445
Tom...
1531
01:38:23,486 --> 01:38:25,238
No, listen to me. Uh...
1532
01:38:26,489 --> 01:38:28,241
If it's bad,
1533
01:38:29,117 --> 01:38:31,161
Samantha, Hope and the baby...
1534
01:38:31,244 --> 01:38:32,787
They'll be taken care of, Tom.
1535
01:38:33,663 --> 01:38:36,124
- Don't even think about it.
- Okay.
1536
01:38:36,166 --> 01:38:39,294
Okay. Good. Thank you.
1537
01:38:45,300 --> 01:38:47,302
I am not ready to leave them.
1538
01:38:49,596 --> 01:38:51,014
I'm not ready.
1539
01:38:55,143 --> 01:38:58,938
You know, Tom, I've been thinking.
1540
01:38:59,356 --> 01:39:02,692
I noticed something very interesting.
1541
01:39:03,985 --> 01:39:06,363
Whenever this doctor comes in here,
1542
01:39:07,781 --> 01:39:13,036
he either calls you Mr. Donnelly or Tom.
1543
01:39:13,119 --> 01:39:14,371
You notice that?
1544
01:39:14,954 --> 01:39:16,623
Always one or the other.
1545
01:39:17,540 --> 01:39:22,045
Now, when he calls you Mr. Donnelly,
1546
01:39:22,712 --> 01:39:24,381
it's never good news.
1547
01:39:25,006 --> 01:39:29,719
Next thing you know, he's shooting you up
with some stuff that makes you throw up.
1548
01:39:29,844 --> 01:39:31,971
Or he doesn't like your levels.
1549
01:39:32,889 --> 01:39:37,394
But when he calls you Tom,
it's always good news.
1550
01:39:38,895 --> 01:39:44,401
I mean, the time he liked
your white cell count. Remember that?
1551
01:39:44,526 --> 01:39:48,071
He calls you Tom.
It's here, I've been taking notes.
1552
01:39:48,822 --> 01:39:54,536
Literally, every time, it's a good thing
when he calls you Tom.
1553
01:39:55,078 --> 01:39:59,416
So this is what we want right now.
1554
01:40:00,417 --> 01:40:05,422
We want him to come in here,
open that door, call you Tom.
1555
01:40:07,924 --> 01:40:09,592
That's what we want.
1556
01:40:10,260 --> 01:40:12,012
You understand?
1557
01:40:12,095 --> 01:40:14,597
So let's... Let's focus...
1558
01:40:16,683 --> 01:40:18,393
On that.
1559
01:40:18,435 --> 01:40:19,769
Okay?
1560
01:40:20,937 --> 01:40:21,938
Okay.
1561
01:40:24,566 --> 01:40:27,277
Everything's going to be all right, son.
1562
01:40:28,528 --> 01:40:29,904
It's going to be all right.
1563
01:40:30,780 --> 01:40:32,365
You promise?
1564
01:40:36,745 --> 01:40:39,539
Have I ever let you down before?
1565
01:40:42,876 --> 01:40:44,794
You're a ridiculous man, you know that?
1566
01:40:44,919 --> 01:40:48,131
I know. I've been told.
1567
01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:52,052
Okay.
1568
01:40:54,304 --> 01:40:59,726
Yeah, he's going to come in here
and he's going to call you Tom.
1569
01:41:03,938 --> 01:41:08,276
And everything's going
to be okay, all right?
1570
01:41:09,611 --> 01:41:11,988
Everything's going to be okay.
1571
01:41:22,165 --> 01:41:25,669
Okay, Tom, so here's where we are.
1572
01:41:51,528 --> 01:41:53,697
What happened was I did an interview
1573
01:41:53,780 --> 01:41:58,451
with a magazine called Zig Zag in 1971.
1574
01:41:58,535 --> 01:42:01,371
Just after I've had my first album out.
1575
01:42:01,454 --> 01:42:04,833
And in it, I was asked by the fellow
who was interviewing me
1576
01:42:04,874 --> 01:42:06,376
whether I thought...
1577
01:42:06,459 --> 01:42:07,877
If I, um...
1578
01:42:09,212 --> 01:42:14,217
If I became, you know, rich
beyond the dreams of avarice, you know,
1579
01:42:14,342 --> 01:42:18,054
whether it would affect my song writing,
you know, detrimentally.
1580
01:42:18,179 --> 01:42:20,390
And I thought... I said I thought it would.
1581
01:42:20,473 --> 01:42:22,684
Anyway, John, for some reason,
1582
01:42:22,726 --> 01:42:25,645
took an exception to this
and wrote a letter in.
1583
01:42:41,077 --> 01:42:43,413
It was a very friendly letter.
1584
01:42:45,081 --> 01:42:49,252
And he finished it with,
"Well, what do you think of that?"
1585
01:42:49,502 --> 01:42:52,213
He had his own home
telephone number in Ascot.
1586
01:42:52,255 --> 01:42:56,092
So, if I had got the letter, you know,
when he sent it, I would have rung him.
1587
01:42:56,176 --> 01:42:57,260
Right, yeah.
