Hey, how are your folks?
176
00:14:05,898 --> 00:14:07,329
They seem to be getting by.
177
00:14:07,331 --> 00:14:08,932
They moved out
to California
178
00:14:08,934 --> 00:14:10,635
-Oh, shit.
-after we graduated.
179
00:14:12,004 --> 00:14:13,805
You remember my sister, Faye?
180
00:14:14,873 --> 00:14:16,605
Come on. Don't be shy.
181
00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:17,707
-[Bruce] No.
-Hi.
182
00:14:17,709 --> 00:14:19,308
-No, sorry. Not really.
-Yeah.
183
00:14:19,310 --> 00:14:21,446
Faye was a few years
behind us in school.
184
00:14:22,613 --> 00:14:24,246
High school
is a bit of a blur.
185
00:14:24,248 --> 00:14:26,950
Sure. I mean, you meet
so many people nowadays.
186
00:14:26,952 --> 00:14:28,617
Right.

Romano, we're leaving.

I'm talking to Bruce.
189
00:14:33,491 --> 00:14:35,591
Jesus.
190
00:14:35,593 --> 00:14:37,693
-I can't wait
for your next record, man.
-Oh, thanks, man.
191
00:14:37,695 --> 00:14:39,896
Next thing you know, it's,
"Elvis is in the building."
192
00:14:39,898 --> 00:14:41,566
No, no. Never.
193
00:14:42,433 --> 00:14:43,733
All right.
194
00:14:43,735 --> 00:14:46,302
-I'll catch you.
-Mmm.
195
00:14:46,304 --> 00:14:47,904
-Keep doing your thing, man.
-Thanks.
196
00:14:47,906 --> 00:14:49,240
[Joey] I'm coming!
197
00:14:52,310 --> 00:14:54,510
I'm sorry.
We actually haven't met.
198
00:14:54,512 --> 00:14:55,979
He's been saying
he'd introduce me
199
00:14:55,981 --> 00:14:57,379
for a while, but
200
00:14:57,381 --> 00:14:58,848
Like, since I graduated.
201
00:14:58,850 --> 00:15:00,585
I didn't believe
he actually knew you.
202
00:15:02,420 --> 00:15:03,686
I loved your version
of "Lucille."
203
00:15:03,688 --> 00:15:04,988
You really let
all the stops out.
204
00:15:04,990 --> 00:15:07,025
Oh, yeah. Cool.
205
00:15:07,792 --> 00:15:08,861
You like Little Richard?
206
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:10,526
Yeah.
207
00:15:10,528 --> 00:15:11,962
I mean, no offense,
208
00:15:11,964 --> 00:15:12,863
he's the real king
of rock and roll.
209
00:15:12,865 --> 00:15:13,932
That's true.
210
00:15:16,634 --> 00:15:18,334
I know this is weird.
211
00:15:18,336 --> 00:15:19,903
I told Joey he probably
shouldn't bother you,
212
00:15:19,905 --> 00:15:25,608
but if you ever wanna hang out
or grab a coffee or
213
00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:28,011
It's not weird at all.
I, uh
214
00:15:28,013 --> 00:15:29,712
I've met a few sisters.
215
00:15:29,714 --> 00:15:31,884
-I bet you have.
-I just [chuckles]
216
00:15:33,085 --> 00:15:36,021
I gotta be honest with you.
I-- I'm kinda seeing somebody.
217
00:15:36,687 --> 00:15:38,354
You know, just kinda.
218
00:15:38,356 --> 00:15:39,990
And I'm sure me and you
could have a lot of fun.
219
00:15:39,992 --> 00:15:41,557
I'm just not sure
I'd be a lot of fun.
220
00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:44,460
-I get it. I'm just a fan.
-Okay.
221
00:15:44,462 --> 00:15:46,328
I know you got
a lot of those, so
222
00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:47,398
Right.
223
00:15:48,934 --> 00:15:50,100
Well, if you do
change your mind,
224
00:15:50,102 --> 00:15:52,470
and you wanna meet up
225
00:15:53,404 --> 00:15:54,837
Yeah. Maybe someday.
226
00:15:54,839 --> 00:15:57,007
-That would be great.
-Okay.

228

You're a bully.
You don't even know it!

I don't even recognize you.

You don't know

I'm not gonna let him grow up
in a house
239
00:17:01,639 --> 00:17:03,841
where he is terrified
of his father.
240
00:17:07,778 --> 00:17:08,914
Get up.

No. This hand.

[Jon] I was telling Walter
about that night in Hamburg.
261
00:18:16,614 --> 00:18:18,148
We start the show,
262
00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:19,950
and it's like
Night of the Living Dead.
263
00:18:19,952 --> 00:18:21,550
Everybody's sitting
on their hands.
264
00:18:21,552 --> 00:18:23,853
Then Max hits the drum intro,
265
00:18:23,855 --> 00:18:26,856
and bam,
everybody's up on their feet.
266
00:18:26,858 --> 00:18:27,924
Yeah, they were in.
267
00:18:27,926 --> 00:18:29,558
They were all in.
268
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,861
You know,
I'll never forget it.
269
00:18:31,863 --> 00:18:34,097
It was like a tidal wave.
270
00:18:34,099 --> 00:18:36,866
I mean, they'd have you back
tomorrow if they could.
271
00:18:36,868 --> 00:18:38,602
We're very well set up
over there.
272
00:18:39,704 --> 00:18:41,237
[Bruce] Hmm.
273
00:18:41,239 --> 00:18:43,206
But, you know,
I think it's the next record
274
00:18:43,208 --> 00:18:44,842
that's gonna
situate all of it.
275
00:18:46,111 --> 00:18:47,609
You know how it goes.
276
00:18:47,611 --> 00:18:49,045
Once you have
your first top ten,
277
00:18:49,047 --> 00:18:50,880
you know, they want three
for the next.
278
00:18:50,882 --> 00:18:52,215
You gotta feed the machine.

00:18:52,217 --> 00:18:54,750
That's not us, Jon.

We've never been
about singles, but the album.

00:18:56,955 --> 00:18:58,254
Right? The whole story.
282
00:18:58,256 --> 00:18:59,990
No, I know.
283
00:18:59,992 --> 00:19:01,557
I mean, they're not thinking
about albums.
284
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:03,061
They're just thinking
about momentum.
285
00:19:03,794 --> 00:19:04,995
Right.

Hey, they're just excited.
288
00:19:13,038 --> 00:19:15,673

we don't lose steam.

00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,022

some time.

00:19:54,745 --> 00:19:59,182
You know, I've been, um
thinking about what you said.

00:19:59,184 --> 00:20:01,317
Next time we go in the studio,
you know,
300
00:20:01,319 --> 00:20:03,719
don't waste all the time
and money writing in there.
301
00:20:03,721 --> 00:20:05,255

with the material.
302
00:20:05,257 --> 00:20:07,057
That's smart.
303
00:20:07,059 --> 00:20:09,125
You finished The River
with only 20K in the bank.
304
00:20:09,127 --> 00:20:10,626
Right.
305
00:20:10,628 --> 00:20:11,627
You spent all your money
in the studio

finishing the record.
307
00:20:12,898 --> 00:20:14,763
You don't need
to do that again.
308
00:20:14,765 --> 00:20:17,233
I read about these machines.
You know, they're new.
309
00:20:17,235 --> 00:20:19,871
You can multitrack at home,
you know, for cheap.

They record on quarter-inch?
311
00:20:22,140 --> 00:20:23,308
No, cassettes.
312
00:20:24,076 --> 00:20:26,142
Cassettes? How many tracks?
313
00:20:26,144 --> 00:20:28,677

316

but, you know, it's not about
capturing sounds
317
00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:37,721

give to Donna Summer.

"I'm Goin' Down,"

and a knockout "I'm on Fire."

we've got "Born in the U.S.A."

Blown away.
He said the album's done.
1119
01:12:33,305 --> 01:12:34,971
That it could be
"Born in the U.S.A."
1120

and ten other tracks,
and nobody would care.

leading, nothing else matters.

record. Right?
1398

can tell stories like these.

-Nothing.
-You're being serious?

This is not gonna be good

I didn't know how to face you.

It's not about facing me.

Look, we both knew
that this was casual at first.

I'm buried here.
1453

That's why
I'm headed to California.
1454

What?
1455
01:30:48,533 --> 01:30:49,868
I bought a house in L.A.
1456

You know, it's the first thing
I've ever had that's mine,

that I own, and
1458
01:31:03,548 --> 01:31:05,517
I need to go out there
on my own.
1459

Well, I didn't know.
1462

I was trying
to find the right time,
1463

but there's never been
a right time.
1464

You think
this is about timing?
1465
01:31:28,340 --> 01:31:30,006
This isn't
about California, Bruce.
1466
01:31:30,008 --> 01:31:31,140
This is about you running away
1467

that scares you.
1468
01:31:32,477 --> 01:31:34,979
From us.
From what we could be.
1469

And don't give me that
"it's not you, it's me" crap.
1470

I know you're scared.
1471
01:31:40,418 --> 01:31:42,485
I've seen it every time
you look at Haley.
1472
01:31:42,487 --> 01:31:44,087
Every time you look at me,
1473
01:31:44,089 --> 01:31:45,555
you think
that you're protecting us
1474
01:31:45,557 --> 01:31:46,923
by pushing us away,
but you're just hiding--
1475

I don't wanna hurt you, Faye.

I don't wanna hurt anyone.

I've done enough
of that already.
1478
01:31:57,535 --> 01:31:59,637
Then what about facing it?
1479
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,674
What about actually
dealing with your shit,
1480
01:32:04,676 --> 01:32:06,878
instead of running from it?
1481
01:32:11,149 --> 01:32:13,216
You say that you can't love me
like I deserve
1482
01:32:13,218 --> 01:32:16,119
but the truth is,
you won't even try.
1483
01:32:16,121 --> 01:32:18,221
Because trying
means facing yourself,
1484
01:32:18,223 --> 01:32:20,291
and that terrifies you.
1485
01:32:23,161 --> 01:32:26,429
And Haley and I,
we are not here to play house.
1486

-We are real people.
-Yeah, I know that.
1487

I believed in you.
1488

I think you should go,

be honest with yourself,
1492

you're never gonna be
