Who would even do that?

KIMMY:
Hey, you guys made it.

Come with me.

[music playing]

- KIMMY:
Hey, Fred.

- Hey.

So, this is Maggy and Jay

from the new band The Threshold

I've been telling you about.

FRED:
Hi, thanks for coming out

to the show tonight.

Yeah, we're really excited

to see you guys.

We've heard a lot of good things

about you.

Yeah, very excited.

You guys are great.

Thanks. We're excited to play.

[music playing]

- KIMMY:
Hey, I've got a question for you.

- FRED:
Sure.

What would they have to do

to be your opening act

or play in a venue like this?

Uh, well, you could record a demo,

just a few songs.

Play some parties, some small shows,

and just work your way up.

Yeah, they are really good.

- Jay's awesome on the guitar.

- Oh yeah?

You should hear his sound.

Play something, Jay.

- It's okay.

- KIMMY:
Come on.

Here, you can use this.

We're not on for another half hour.

[playing guitar]

What do you play, Maggy?

- Nothing, I'm...

- She has a fantastic voice.

You should hear her.

[guitar strumming]

Sing, Maggy.

No, it's okay.

[strumming guitar]

[rock music]

MICHAEL:
(coughing)

Mom?

[Michael coughing]

[instrumental music]

[crowd clapping, cheering]

[rock music]

[applause]

[school bell rings]

How'd you do?

Well enough.

You could have, too.

I don't know why I'm such a loser.

Hey, remember, "You are an example

that inspires and uplifts."

I still have no idea who wrote that letter.

I might go visit my dad today.

I thought you were done with him.

I am, kind of, but he might know

who this Sam is.

Good luck with that.

[instrumental music]

[doorbell]

Maggy?

Hi. Is my dad home?

Yes, come on in.

You've grown.

How's your mom?

Okay. She worries a lot.

How's school?

Or, are you finished already?

School's okay.

Listen, Dad, I got this letter

in the mail the other day,

and it's from someone named

Sam Worthington.

Do you know who that is?

Sam Worthington?

No, I've never heard of him.

Are you sure?

Looks like an old person's writing.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It's all right.

You should come visit more often.

[instrumental music]

SAM:
"You might sometimes feel

alone in this world.

You are not.

Someone is watching over you

and blessing your life

even though at times it may not

seem like it.

Your happiness is the reward of

the happiness you endow to others.

I assure you, that if you give of yourself,

you will receive in return

the blessings of a life

full of purpose and joy."

[instrumental music]

Here. Hope you can come.

Hey, you guys should come.

It's going to be good.

From what I've heard,

you can't even sing.

Yeah, well, what do you know?
