The Hottest State Page #2

---

Born yesterday,

but I stayed up all night.

This is my door.

You live here?

Yeah.

Oh sh*t! Really?

That's my window.

My window looks out

on your front door.

Well -

I just got to New York City

tonight.

I'm staying

with a friend.

Come here;

come here, come here.

Do me a favor,

stand right here.

Sarah:

Okay!

- Why?

- Right there, just like that.

That's good,

one second.

I feel weird.

What am I doing here?

What?

[Music plays]

William:

Looking out at what was now her door,

I had the profound feeling

that my life had changed.

And I was right

not in the way I thought.

I hadn't met the woman

I was to grow gray with.

I was twenty years old

and, by the time

I was twenty-one

I'd be heartbroken.

[Music plays]

Sarah:

Hi.

William:
Nice to see you.

What's your name again?

You don't

remember my name?

I'm kidding.

Oh my God,

did I do that?

Yeah.

Are you mad?

No.

Do you do

that all the time?

Do what?

Kiss girls?

Dave:
Hey Sarah, we'll start

in about ten minutes, alright?

Is she okay?

I think southing's wrong

with her microphone.

I'll get it.

William:

Hey Sarah -

that dude said he'd take care

of the microphone business.

- What?

- Come here.

Sarah:

I'm behaving ridiculously.

William:

Yeah, you are.

Sarah:

I'm sorry about the hickey thing.

William:

It' A. O. K.

Sarah:

You should go now.

William:

Okay. Good luck.

Okay.

William:

Just pretend you're someone else.

What?

Think of your favorite singer,

and just start out

by pretending to be her.

The rest'll come easy,

and it'll secretly be you.

Can I borrow

your jacket?

Vince:

Come on buddy, take off your jacket.

Come on it's hot

as hell in here, man.

Come on buddy

take off your jacket.

Now listen to me, William,

your mother and

you are moving away -

and I can't come after you.

I can't -

because I can't.

You know I'm going to try

to get some money together -

and visit you

as much as I can,

but it won't be

as often as I want, alright.

But it's killing me, alright?

I mean, it's -

it's really killing me.

And I want you

to remember one thing.

Can you hear me?

Just remember one thing.

I am not the one -

leaving Texas, alright.

Will you remember that?

Come on,

take off your jacket.

[Music plays]

Sometimes

when we meet up yonder

We'll stroll

hand in hand again

In the land

that knows no parting

Blue eyes crying

in the rain

[Applause]

That's my jacket.

William:
You know what I'm going

to do? I'm going to buy a car -

an old silver one

with a big dashboard -

and drive you down

to Nashville.

Take you

to the Grand Ole Orpy.

Make you a big

motherfucking star.

Can I sing

Johnny Cash?

Are you kidding?
