...you call.

Think about what I said too.

There's a whole world out there

with millions of wind chimes.

I know.

You can go now.

PETER:
Mannix says we're never

gonna see our real parents again.

Mannix is a big liar.

Yeah, I know. But what if he's right?

I mean, what if they don't ever come?

Hardly remember what my mom

looks like, you know?

Well, if they don't find us,

we'll just have to go find them.

[LAUGHING]

LYLA:

I have to go.

-Let me walk you home.

-No.

LYLA:

My dad's waiting at the Sherry. I--

I've never done this before.

I'm in so much trouble.

Hey, hey.

MEN:

Woo!

Meet me here at 10:00 by the arch.

[MARSHALL LAUGHING]

LOUIS:
Say yes.

-Put him out of his misery. Say yes.

-Say yes.

-Say it.

Say yes.

After you.

I'll take that as a yes.

You are gonna be in so much trouble.

You should have left your dad a note.

Yeah, ransom note.

You know what? I don't even care.

I just had the most incredible night

of my life.

Taxi!

Louis. She ain't coming.

Oh, man. One girl?

Come on, we're gonna miss the flight.

Louis. Where you going, Louis?

Excuse me.

You are not going anywhere.

Louis.

Do you remember what Da used to say

about princesses? Huh?

They're always looking for their prince.

And you ain't no prince, brother.

How would you know?

What am I gonna do now?

I know they're out there somewhere.

[MARK MANCINA'S "WIRES" PLAYING]

I don't know where it comes from...

...but it's what I hold on to.

And I can't let go.

[WIND WHISTLES]

Somewhere inside me...

...I know that they always wanted me.

Maybe they just got lost.

LOUIS [SINGING]:

Walking through wintertime

When the stars all shine

The angel on the stairs

Will tell you I was there

[CELLO PLAYING MARK MANCINA'S

"CELLO OVERLUDE"]

Under the front porch light

On a mystery night

I been sitting

Watching life pass from the sidelines

Been waiting for a dream

To seep in through my blinds

I wondered what might happen

If I left this all behind

Would the wind be at my back?

Could I get you off my mind

This time?

LOUIS:

What's the point in singing, Marshall?

She's not gonna hear me.

I'm leaving the band.

I'm sorry, Marshall.

MARSHALL:
