(BEAU BEGINS SINGING

FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES)

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Chiles Stanton, everybody!

BEAU:
No, that was fun

up there, man.

(BEAU LAUGHING)

Actually, we're going to

work on that.

You two sounded

good in there.

Yeah, thanks.

Do you ever think

about doing a duet?

No.

Her good looks

and your song writing. . .

The girl's more scared

than a church mouse, James.

Yeah, but once you

get her wound up, boy. . .

We're no duo, man.

I don't even know her.

l was just sleeping

with her friend.

Why don't you go on

the road with us, Beau,

get the hell out of

these honky tonks,

step up to

the big leagues?

l think your bird is hungry.

Hey.

This could be

a hell of an opportunity

for you, you know that?

You know, I don't know

if this means

anything to you,

but I actually

enjoy playing music,

and it don't matter

who it's for.

All the rest is

just bullshit.

Bullshit.

Why don't you try to play

some of that bullshit in

a stadium full of people?

Then see if you

got anything, hoss.

I like these people

just fine.

l figured

you'd say that.

Beau, do you care

about Kelly?

What are you getting at?

Look, I know her legs

are still shaky.

l ain't stupid.

But I also know

this is the only

opportunity she has

to turn herself around,

maybe save her life.

And I thought,

maybe since you were so

concerned about Kelly

and that you were

her sponsor,

that maybe you would

come out on the road

and help me take care of her.

(SCOFFS) Maybe not.

(SINGING SUMMER GIRL)

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)

Do you think

Chiles Stanton is pretty?

Now, come on.

No, I'm serious.

l do.

That's why I'm asking.

l think she looks like

a young Linda Ronstadt.

Yeah, well,

she's a talented kid.

Do you think

I'm talented?

(CHUCKLES)

What do you think?

How talented

do you think I am?

Very talented.

On a scale of one to 1 0.

A 1 0.

1 0's the lowest.

(CHUCKLES)

All right, a one, then.

Absolutely a one.

How about zero?

Oh, you're definitely a zero.

(KELLY CHUCKLES)

For sure.

James?

Hmm?

I'm sorry about Dallas.

So am l.

We should talk

about it sometime.

Mmm-hmm.

James?

Hmm?

l just got one of those

Brazilian bikini waxes.

l just took an Ambien.

l'll see you

in eight hours.

(SlGHS)

The first time

l heard you sing,

l knew. I wasn't

much of a church man,

but I thought that must be

what angels sound like.

l thought I'd died

and gone to heaven.

l love that story.

That's good.

Because it's true.

(REPORTERS CLAMOURING)

Kelly, how was rehab?

Well, good, I hope. (LAUGHS)

ls it too soon

for a comeback tour?

FEMALE REPORTER:

Are the divorce rumours true?

We couldn't be happier.

We've got three

sold-out shows.
