The only reason you're looking | at this guy is because you can't have him.

He's a rock 'n' roll | poet sex god.

You'll toss him in a week.

No, Ing, this one's different.

I can feel it.

That was good.

Kid, I haven't heard | blue-eyed soul like that

since Jeff Buckley's record.

See what I'm sayin'?

What did I tell you, Roma? | He's smokin', right?

You did good, Huey. | - I need eight hours, Mom.

If I don't get eight hours, | my immune system crashes.

Record something more up-tempo | I can get on the radio.

Let's go. | - Work it out with Huey.

Go...

That's what I'm talkin' about. | She gets it.

I get it. | You don't get it.

Wait... | - Neal, you need to get it.

I think we got ourselves | a Grammy!

I hate that...

Kids! Always hogging | your attention.

Hi. | - Hi. Birthday girl.

Yeah, happy birthday. | - Thank you.

Is this demo thing for real?

She's about to sign you! | I can feel it in my bones.

Rocket to the moon, baby. | Rocket to the moon.

Oh, my.

Are you really | Tommy Gunn's daughter?

Seriously?

Can you hold my purse, please?

Yeah. | - Thanks.

Jesus!

I guess there is | a certain family resemblance.

His guitars are in there? | - You wanna come see?

Yeah.

Can you just wait here | just one second, please?

Thank you. | - Yeah.

Right.

Welcome | to Le Chteau Chez Molly.

Nice.

What on God's earth is that?

Mu. | - Don't you mean oink?

No, "Mu" means "pork" in Thai.

He was going to be my curry dinner | one night in Bangkok,

but we fell in love.

If you wait here,

I will fix us some | bonbonnires confiseries.

Oh, my God.

Looks like you found it | on your own.

I can't believe it!

This is it.

This is the acoustic Muddy Waters | gave Tommy Gunn.

He played it at Budokan. | - Summer of '88.

Daddy's little girl

That's you.

Paints the world | with her magic wand

Please don't sing that song.

"Molly Smiles. | He opened the show with it.

For me

And then he | and my mom died.

Listen, I didn't mean to...

Okay. Yeah.

So what's next?

How about dessert?

Am I gonna be able | to pronounce it?

I don't know.

Can you say...Pez"?

I'm just not supposed | to act impulsively, you know?

Part of my whole sobriety thing.

Made a vow, | haven't broken it yet.

Pez.

I haven't had a drink | in 224 days.

I'm also not supposed to have | romantic relationships my first year.

Pez.

It's called | the Law of Contrary Behavior.

If I want a drink, | I don't have one.

If I want to skip a gig, | I force myself to go.

If I meet a girl | and I want her to come over...

...I send her home.

Pez.

Those are vows | I haven't broken.

Ships crossing like ghosts | in the night

Night names, | unremembered faces in sight
