Grace Unplugged Page #5

and now he's so fulfilled

and everything.

- What's wrong with that?

- Nothing!

I've heard it a million times.

He said it at every church we

ever played at. I'm serious.

He acts like I've never

heard it before.

Yeah, but I mean, it

is pretty cool that

your dad's song is

getting so many hits.

What difference does it make?

He turned him down.

He told the guy if Misunderstood

is that hot right now,

he should get someone

else and do a remake.

What'd the guy say?

(INAUDIBLE)

JOHNNY:

I choose the music very specifically.

(TIRES SCREECH)

GRACE:
Fine, it's your music.

And whenever I do

anything different, it's wrong.

Grace, that is not the

point and you know it!

You don't leave the piano

in the middle of a song!

Dad, I don't feel it on piano!

I don't care how you feel!

If I wanted you on guitar,

I would have put you on the guitar!

But that was not how

we rehearsed it,

and that's not your call to make!

Do you know how much better it was

than the boring thing we rehearsed?

- And everybody loved it!

- Grace, your father's right.

It was not your call to make.

I know. I know, Morn.

He's said it a hundred times.

Maybe you should just

start listening!

(YELLING)

That's all I ever do is listen!

And you will not

talk to me that way!

I am the authority here.

Not you!

Oh, you're the authority?

You're also the one who used to get

wasted and went to jail for it!

You're done.

You're out of the band

and you can forget the album.

(YELLING) Good! I don't want

to be on your stupid album!

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Hello?

MOSSY:
Grace, Frank Mostin.

(PANTING)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

MICHELLE:
John!

MALE ANNOUNCER:
Welcome to

Los Angeles International Airport.

- Hi.

- Hi. Can I help you?

Yeah, I'm here to see Frank Mostin.

Your name?

Grace Trey.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(VOICEMAIL) Hey, it's Grace.

Leave a message

and I'll get back to

you when I can.

(KEYPAD BEEPING)

I gotta tell you, I'm not real

crazy about doing this

without your dad knowing.

I mean, I get it.

Some parents just don't appreciate

that their children grow up

and have dreams of their own.

Yup. That's my dad.

Maybe he'll come around once you're

on iTunes, Spotify and Pandora.

I gotta ask, best case scenario,

what happens?

What do you want?

Um...

I wanna blow people

away with my music.

I know I have what it takes.

A million other girls got talent.

You do have one thing

that they don't.

A dad who has a hit song, I get it.

No, you have me.

A daughter singing her dad's hit,

that's our angle,

but if you're willing to

work really hard

and do exactly what I tell you,

I'll get you your shot.

Who's your favorite artist?
