NO, I COULD HAVE...
REALLY, YOU ARE
REALLY GOOD.
I KNOW I TELL YOU
THIS ALL THE TIME,
BUT YOU ARE RIDICULOUS!
YOU'VE BEEN PLAYING
FOR ME NOW FOR WHAT...
YEARS?
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME
FOR YOU TO PLAY YOUR
AWESOMENESS FOR OTHERS?
YOU KNOW I DON' WANT TO DO THAT.
I KNOW BUT, BUT MAYBE GOD
GAVE YOU THIS GIFT TO PLAY
OUTSIDE OF THIS ROOM.
HEY, I'M NOT SAYING
YOU SHOULD GO ON
"AMERICAN IDOL" OR ANYTHING.
YOU WOULD DO
GREAT BY THE WAY.
BUT MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR
YOU TO START PLAYING FOR
YOUR PARENTS.
[STRUMS GUITAR]
GLAD WE HAD THIS CHAT.
IT WAS NICE...
REALLY!
[MUSIC]
GUITAR TEACHER: YAH, SO
THAT'S YOUR A MINOR.
GO AHEAD AND PLAY YOUR
A MINOR IN THE
BOTTOM POSITION THERE.
YAH, YAH, EXCELLENT.
NOW SLIDE IT UP.
OH HEY, CADENCE,
THEY'RE DOWNSTAIRS.
YAH, I FIGURED.
WHERE ELSE WOULD THEY BE?
THERE ARE PATHS AND
THERE ARE JOURNEYS...
THAT MY FEET ARE
STILL TO MAKE...
IT'S THE SWIM HOLE
I'VE BEEN LIVING ON...
HOW MUCH MORE YOU
THINK I'LL TAKE...
I CALL IT CHANCE,
YOU CALL IT DREAMS...
I'M LOSING GRIP,
YOU CALL IT OFF...
I CALL IT LOST,
YOU CALL IT LIFE...
I'M HANGING ON...
YOU CALL IT ALL A
DREAM...
[MUSIC]
C'MON
I CALL IT CHANCE,

[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
WHAT'S THIS?
WELL, IT'S A GREAT STAR TO YOUR MUSIC CAREER.
OH, SO I WOULD SHOW UP
AND PLAY SOME SONGS THEN?
YES.
AND WILL THERE BE A STAGE?
YES.
WILL THEY HAVE A
GOOD SOUND SYSTEM?
HOW ELSE WILL YOU
BE HEARD, DEAR?
AND THEY'LL HAVE COFFEE
AND SNACKS AND LIGHTS...
...AND OTHER
MUSICIANS, YES.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT AN
OPEN MIC CONCERT IS.
I DO.
YOU KNOW THE ONE THING
THEY WON'T HAVE THERE?
WHAT?
ME!
C'MON!
IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S
"MADISON SQUARE GARDEN"
OR ANYTHING.
I KNOW, I STILL
DON'T WANT TO DO IT.
HELLO LADIES.
HI.
THANK YOU.
UH-HUH. HAVE A GOOD ONE.
[MUSIC]
OH HEY, HOW WAS SCHOOL?
YOU KNOW CADENCE,
THE STUDIO IS OPEN.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU
WANTED TO LAY DOWN
A TRACK OR TWO?
NO PRESSURE, WE JUST HEAR
YOU PLAYING UPSTAIRS AND
WE THOUGHT YOU MIGH WANT TO GIVE IT A WHIRL.
YAH, IT SOUNDS REALLY
GOOD, REALLY GOOD.
DO YOU WANT TO
PLAY IT FOR US?
WOW, OK, I'LL DO IT.
YOU GUYS ARE WEIRD.
WEIRD?
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING
TO SAY WONDERFUL, KIND,
LOVING...
AWESOME, AMAZING,...
ASTUTE
SERIOUSLY?
WHAT?
ASTUTE?
IT MEANS LIKE... OBSERVANT.
ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT,
C'MON, NO MORE STALLING.
LET'S GET IN THERE
AND MAKE SOME MUSIC!
C'MON!
ASTUTE.
OK, WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY...
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
[BREATHING HEAVY]
CADENCE, HONEY?
I TOLD YOU I DON' WANT TO DO THAT.
I KNOW, WE JUST DON'T WAN TO SEE YOU BE AFRAID.
I CAN'T...
BREATHE.
WHAT, YOU CAN' BREATHE RIGHT NOW?
NO, WHEN IT HAPPENS.
IT'S OK.
IT'S LIKE I CAN'T MOVE,
THEN I CAN'T THINK,
THEN I CAN'T BREATHE.
BABY, IT'S OK.
YOU KNOW WE
LOVE YOU, RIGHT?
[NOISE AT THE DOOR]
[DOOR OPENING]
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
[DOOR OPENS AGAIN]
IT WOULD HELP IF YOU
TOLD ME WE WERE
PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK.
OH MY GOSH, YOU TOTALLY
FREAKED ME OUT!
I CAN SEE THAT.
SO, ARE YOU GOING TO TELL
ME WHY WE'RE PLAYING A
ONE-SIDED GAME
OF MARCO-POLO?
IT'S KIND OF A LONG STORY.
WELL, I WAS SITTING HERE
WAITING FOR YOU WHEN
SOMEONE CAME IN AND
STARTED PLAYING THE PIANO.
THAT'S NOT A LONG
STORY AT ALL ACTUALLY!
CAN YOU GIVE ME A BIT MORE
DETAILS LIKE WHY YOU WERE
SITTING IN THE CORNER
COWERING LIKE A FRIGHTENED
LITTLE KITTY?
WELL, I DIDN'T WAN TO BE SEEN, SO I HID.
OK, WELL THEN WHO WAS IT?
I DON'T KNOW
WAS IT A BOY OR GIRL?
I DON'T KNOW.
WERE THEY ANY GOOD?
VERY!
SO YOU DON' KNOW WHO IT WAS.
NO.
WELL THEN I WILL IMAGINE
THAT IT IS HUNTER HAYES
COMING TO SERENADE ME AND
SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET,
THEN TAKE ME BACK TO
THE FAMILY RANCH
TO MEET HIS PARENTS.
OOOH, OR LIAM HEMSWORTH
COMING TO PRONOUNCE HIS
UNDYING LOVE FOR ME.
"OH WHAT'S THAT LIAM?
YOU LEARNED HOW TO PLAY
THE PIANO FOR ME?"
OOOH!
DON JOHNSON!
MMMM!
NASH BRIDGES!
C'MON!
SO HOT!
HEY. HOW WAS SCHOOL?
FINE.
YOUR DAD AND I JUST WANTED
TO APOLOGIZE FOR PUSHING
YOU SO HARD AND
FORCING YOU TO PLAY.
I KNOW HOW HARD
THIS IS FOR YOU.
WE JUST HOPED
YOU WERE READY.
YAH, SORRY WE
PUSHED YOU SO HARD.
WE LOVE YOU SWEETIE.
WE JUST WAN WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
I KNOW.
HIM?
NO, NOT BROODING ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE TO BROOD
A LITTLE TO PLAY
THE PIANO YOU KNOW.
HIM?
WOW, TOO BROODY!
A LITTLE.
OH, WHAT ABOUT HIM?
YOU'VE GOT THE
MOMMA'S BOY.
NOPE!
I DIDN'T EVEN
CONSIDER A NERD.
I MEAN, PLAYING THE PIANO
IS TOTALLY SOMETHING A
HELICOPTER PARENT WOULD
MAKE THEIR INTROVERTED
NERD DO.
TRUE, BUT THE MUSIC WAS
WAY TOO COOL AND ORIGINAL.
A NERD WOULD PLAY
BACH OR SOMETHING.
GOOD POINT.
WHAT ABOUT HER?
NO ONE WHO WOULD DO
THAT IN PUBLIC COULD
PLAY WHAT I HEARD!
ALRIGHT, WHAT IF WE HAVE A
CLARK KENT SITUATION HERE?
I DON'T FOLLOW.
YOU KNOW LIKE THEY'RE
HIDING IN PLAIN SIGH LIKE SUPERMAN?
IT COULD BE, I GUESS.
BUT WE'LL NEVER KNOW...
UNLESS WE HIDE OUT AGAIN.
UM, HIDING OUT, WAITING
FOR SOMEONE TO SHOW UP
AND SPYING ON THEM SEEMS
A BIT STOCKERISH
DON'T YOU THINK?
NO, STOCKERISH WOULD
BE IF WE HID OUT,
WAITED FOR SOMEONE TO
SHOW UP, SPIED ON THEM,
TOOK PICTURES, AND THEN
MADE A COLLAGE ON A WALL
IN OUR DARK AND
CREEPY BASEMENT.
WE'LL JUST SAY HI.
YOU KNOW IT'S THE ONLY
WAY WE CAN FIND OUT.
WHAT IF THEY DON' WANT TO BE FOUND OUT.
I WOULDN'T.
OR MAYBE THEY'RE TRYING
TO FIND SOMEONE
TO CONNECT WITH.
FINE, BUT ISN'T THE NO KNOWING KILLING YOU?
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
OH, IT'S HAPPENING!
I DON'T THINK I'M WEARING
ENOUGH BLACK, THOUGH!
I NEED ONE OF THOSE
BLACK NINJA SUITS!
YOU'RE SCARING
ME RIGHT NOW!
WE COULD GET INTO
SERIOUS TROUBLE!
FOR WHAT?
WANTING TO SAY
HI TO SOMEONE?
PLEASE!
NO WE COULD GET INTO...
[DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS]
[PIANO PLAYING STARTS]
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,
ALL MY PLANS ALL
THAT I AM...
MY LIFE IS YOURS...
TAKE IT, SHAPE I FOR YOUR GLORY...
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU...
[PIANO CONTINUES]
WOW, CAN YOU TICKLE
THOSE IVORIES!
OH, HI!
HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN THERE?
OH, IT'S NOT JUST ME!
HI...
SORRY!
NO, WAIT!
YOU SPIED ON ME!
NO, WE...
WELL YAH, BUT IT'S
NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
REALLY?
YOU DIDN'T COME IN HERE
WAITING FOR ME TO SHOW
AND THEN SPY ON ME?
WELL, WE DIDN'T TAKE
ANY PICTURES, SO...
LIZ, YOU'RE NOT HELPING.
I WAS IN HERE YESTERDAY
AND I HEARD YOU PLAY.
YOU WERE IN HERE
YESTERDAY TOO?
AGAIN, NO PICTURES OR
CREEPY WALL IN OUR BASEMENT.
I WASN'T SPYING.
I COME IN HERE
EVERYDAY TO PLAY.
AND YESTERDAY I WAS
WAITING FOR LIZZY,
THEN YOU SHOWED
UP, SO I HID.
WHY DID YOU RUN YESTERDAY?
THAT'S REALLY NONE OF
YOUR BUSINESS, IS IT?
NO, NOT REALLY, BUT COULD
YOU JUST WAIT A SECOND?
WHY?
JUST WAIT... ONE SECOND.
[STRUMMING GUITAR]
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU,
ALL MY PLANS ALL
THAT I AM...
MY LIFE IS YOURS...
TAKE IT, SHAPE I FOR YOUR GLORY...
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU...
[PIANO MUSIC STARTS]
[GUITAR MUSIC STARTS]
I GIVE IT ALL TO YOU, ALL
MY PLANS ALL THAT I AM...
MY LIFE IS YOURS...
TAKE IT, SHAPE I FOR YOUR GLORY...

YAH, IT SEEMS
A BIT EXTREME!
YAH, WHAT IF
IT WAS A FLUKE?
OR WHAT IF WE GET CAUGHT?
I CAN'T GET EXPELLED.

I MEAN, WHAT WOULD

"MOM, DAD, I GOT EXPELLED.
OH FOR WHAT?

ANY DESIRE TO SEE

YES!!
[MUSIC]
SO YOU WANT TO PUT YOUR
INDEX FINGER HERE
ON THE G,
AND THEN RIGHT BELOW IT,
YOUR OTHER FINGER.
OK, STRUM THAT.
[STRUMS GUITAR]
STRUM ALL OF
THOSE STRINGS.
WELL, LET'S BACK UP.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
[HUMMING]
[HUMMING]

I DON'T THINK SO, HE
WAS IN THE ISO BOOTH.
WELL IS IT BLEED
FROM THE HEADPHONE?
TRY AND SOLO IT.
UGH!
I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH
TRACK IT'S COMING FROM.
IT'S LIKE IT'S COMING

[HUMMING WHILE TRACK PLAYS]
HEY HUN!

WELL IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO TELL US?
YAH, LIKE SOMETHING THA WILL MAKE ME WANT TO
COMMIT A FELONY?
IS IT A BOY?
MOM, NO, AND DAD, YOU
CAN'T EVEN STEP ON A
SPIDER WITHOUT SQUEELING.
NO, SPIDERS ARE UGLY,
HAIRY, SMALL...
AND THE FANGS AND THE LEGS.
WHY ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT SPIDERS?
THAT'S NOT THE POINT.
WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE JUST BEEN HAVING
SOME FUN AT SCHOOL.
- FUN?
- FUN?
LIKE WITH A BOY?
NO, NO.
OK.
IT'S NOT A BOY.
OK, SO I WAS IN
THE MUSIC ROOM,
WHEN SOMEONE CAME IN AND
SPOOKED ME, SO I HID.
AND THEN LIZZY CAME IN,
AND SO WE NEEDED TO FIND
OUT WHO IT WAS.
AND WE COULDN'T FIND OU BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING IN
THE LUNCHROOM WITH ALL
THESE NERDS AND FOOTBALL
PLAYERS, WHATEVER.
SHE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
OF HIDING OUT AGAIN.
AND I WAS LIKE, "THAT'S
KIND OF STOCKERISH
DON'T YOU THINK?"
AND SHE WAS TALKING ABOU THIS NINJA HAT AND STUFF
I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
AND OH! WHEN SHE CAME IN,
IT WAS SO AMAZING!
SHE STARTED PLAYING,
AND IT WAS LIKE OHH!
WHOA, WHOA.
WE HAVE NO IDEA WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO, THERE'S... THERE'S
NO BOY IN THERE?
NO, NO BOY.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING
WITH SOMEONE.

THAT IS AWESOME!
GIVE US MORE DETAILS!
YOU CAN TELL US ANYTHING!
SO, WHO IS IT?
WHAT DO THEY PLAY?
IT'S THE NEW GIRL, MIKA.
SHE'S SO GOOD!
HUH!

HONEY, I AM SO
PROUD OF YOU...
YOU GUYS WERE
REALLY GOOD TODAY!
CAUSE YESTERDAY
WAS REALLY BAD?
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
YAH, WE WERE REALLY
GOOD YESTERDAY.
YAH, YOU GUYS WERE REALLY
GOOD YESTERDAY AND TODAY!
I JUST HOPE WE DON' GO BACK TO STINKING,
LIKE WE DID YESTERDAY.
YEAH, YOU THINK IT'S LIKE
A CERTAIN DAY OF THE WEEK?
YOU KNOW LIKE MONDAY,
WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY WE
STINK, AND THEN TUESDAY
AND THURSDAY WE'RE GOOD.
NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT I
WAS GETTING AT AT ALL.
I WAS JUST...
FUNNY, REAL FUNNY.
YOU MUSICIANS THINK ITS
REAL FUNNY TO PICK ON
US TONE DEAF.
IT'S NOT, IT HURTS.
WHAT'S THIS?
OH, NOTHING.
IT'S JUST A SONG
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
THAT'S HER SONG WRITING
BOOK JOURNAL THING.
EVERY SONG SHE HAS EVER
WRITTEN IS IN THERE.
I THINK YOU'VE
INSPIRED HER A LITTLE.
IT KEEPS GETTING
BIGGER AND BIGGER.
IT'S REALLY COOL TO SEE
HOW YOU GUYS HAVE GELLED
TOGETHER TO MAKE
SUCH GREAT MUSIC.
IT'S NOT THE STUFFY STUFF.
YOU MEAN LIKE CLASSICAL?
NO, LIKE THE STUFF
FROM THE 90'S.
[PIANO PLAYING]
[APPLAUSE]
WOW, WHAT A PERFORMANCE!
TRULY AMAZING!
AND YOU, LOVELY AS USUAL.
YOU, MY FRIEND,
NOT AS LOVELY!
SO MIKA, TELL ME WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO HAVE A BROTHER
WHO'S GOING TO BE
THE NEXT MOZART.
WELL, IT'S JUST SO
WONDERFUL TO HAVE A FAMILY
WITH SUCH A FINE
MUSICAL TRADITION.
TRULY FANTASTIC!
A VIOLINIST, A CONCER PIANIST, AND YOU MY SON!
YOU DON'T FALL VERY FAR
FROM THE TREE, DO YOU?
IT'S A FINE
JULLIARD TRADITION!
YOU'VE GOT SOME MIGHTY
BIG SHOES TO FILL
LITTLE MISSY!
TRULY FANTASTIC!
WONDERFUL!
TRULY FANTASTIC!
SO, HOW LONG DO WE WAI UNTIL WE REALIZE
WE'VE BEEN BLOWN OFF?
DID YOU SEE HER
IN CLASS TODAY?
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE
SEEN HER IN THE HALLS.
I THINK I SAW HER
SHOES IN THE BATHROOM.
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE SEEN
HER OUTSIDE FOR LUNCH.
I THINK I SAW HER OUTSIDE
TOO WITH BIG FOO AND THE ALIENS!
I THINK THEY WERE
SHARING COOKIES!
SO BACK TO MY
ORIGINAL QUESTION.
HOW LONG DO WE WAIT?
[MUSIC]
THAT'S IT, I'M CALLING IT!
SHE'S NOT GOING TO SHOW!
[MUSIC]
HEY...
HELLO?
HEY
HEY
WHERE WERE YOU?

NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE,
I'M HERE, RIGHT?
THANKS MOM, I KNOW.
[SCHOOL BELL RINGING]
DO YOU THINK SHE WAS SICK?
MAYBE.
YAH, MAYBE SHE WAS SICK.
MAYBE SHE HAD AN
APPOINTMENT OR SOMETHING.
MAYBE.
OOH, WHAT IF SHE SECRETLY
RECORDED THE SONGS,
AND TOOK THEM TO A HIGH
LEVEL MUSIC EXECUTIVE WHO
IS FLYING IN TO MEET US?
YOU'RE RIGHT, SHE PROBABLY
DOESN'T OWN A SMALL
RECORDING DEVICE.
OR HAPPEN TO KNOW A HIGH
LEVEL MUSIC EXECUTIVE.
WHAT IF SHE WENT ALL
"LIFETIME NETWORK" ON US?
YOU KNOW, SHE SHOWS
UP, BEFRIENDS US,
SHE'S ALL MYSTERIOUS
AND TALENTED.
AND EVERY SO OFTEN, SHE
GOES BACK TO HER OTHER
HOME AND FRIENDS A A DIFFERENT SCHOOL.
AND THEN SHE HAS TO DECIDE
WHICH ONE OF US TO KILL
OFF. YOU KNOW, LIKE
THOSE UH, GUYS WITH
TWO DIFFERENT FAMILIES?
MAYBE.
YAH, MAYBE WE SHOULD
JUST GO ASK HER.
HAVE YOU DECIDED
TO KILL US?
WHOA, JUST KIDDING.
I KNOW.
OK, ARE YOU...
ARE YOU OKAY?
I JUST...
IT'S OK, YOU CAN TELL
US ANYTHING, RIGHT?
YAH.
YAH.
I CAN'T PLAY WITH
YOU GUYS ANYMORE.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN YOU CAN'T?
I MEAN, I CAN' WASTE MY TIME...
WASTE YOUR TIME?
NO, I MEAN I CAN' BE DISTRACTED.
DISTRACTED?
YAH.
WELL, I'M SORRY
THAT FOR...
HOWEVER LONG WE'VE
BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER,
THAT YOU'VE BEEN
WASTING YOUR TIME,
AND THAT WE'VE ROBBED
YOU OF YOUR CONSIDERABLE
ATTENTION SPAN.
I HOPE YOU FIND A SOF PLACE TO LAND WHEN YOU
FALL OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE!
WE WERE YOUR FRIENDS!
WHAT CHANGED?
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT?
MY FAMILY, WHERE
WE COME FROM.
MUSIC IS EVERYTHING.
IT'S WHAT WE DO.
AND I CAN'T SPEND MY TIME
ON SOMETHING THAT ISN'T...
WORTHY.
WELL MY FAMILY LIVES
FOR MUSIC, TOO.
AND THE HEART IS WHA MAKES THE MUSIC WORTHY,
NOT THE NOTES.
[MUSIC]
THROWING PEBBLES

I'M SORRY.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE ...I JUS WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I WASN'T A WASTE.
[PIANO COVER CLICKS OPEN]
[MUSIC]
I KNOW THERE ARE DAYS
IN YOUR LIFE...
YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR PLANS

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT...
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOUR PLACE IS...

RISE AND SHINE...
OPEN UP YOUR EYES...
TONIGHT YOU'LL SHINE
BRIGHTER THAN...
THE NORTHERN LIGHTS...
RISE AND SHINE...
OPEN UP YOUR EYES...
TONIGHT YOU'LL SHINE
BRIGHTER THAN...

[MUSIC]
THAT WAS AWESOME.

THE VERSE...
I KNOW.
THE VERSE, LIKE THERE'S
THIS ONE LINE...
WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW UP?
I'M NOT MAD ANYMORE.
I JUST NEVER REALLY
GOT AN ANSWER.
WELL, IT'S KIND
OF A LONG STORY.
OKAY. I GUESS
I'LL TELL YOU.
WELL, LIKE I WAS TELLING
CADENCE MY FAMILY IS
MASSIVELY INTO MUSIC, BU NOT JUST MUSIC, FULL ON
CONCERT PIANO, GRADE A MY
FATHER, AND FIRST CHAIR
VIOLIN, MY MOTHER.
TOP OF THEIR CLASSES
AT JUILLIARD.
THEN ON TOP OF THAT WHERE
WE COME FROM IT'S LIKE THE
MUSIC CENTER OF THE COUNTRY.
IT'S LIKE ...LIKE NASHVILLE
FOR COUNTRY MUSIC STARS.
WHOA.
YEAH. IT'S KIND OF HEAVY.
YOU HAVEN'T REALLY
ANSWERED MY QUESTION THOUGH.
WELL, MY BROTHER
ALEXANDER IS THIS ...IS THIS
PIANO PHENOM PRODIGY WHO
LOVES ALL THE MASTERS
AND COMPOSERS.
HONESTLY, HONESTLY HE'S A
FREAK, BUT HE'S REALLY GOOD.
THE KICKER IS THAT EVEN AS
GREAT AS MY PARENTS WERE...
ARE, HE'S SO GOOD THAT HE...
HE GOT A FULL SCHOLARSHIP
TO JUILLIARD WHICH ONLY ENROLLS
24 NEW FRESHMAN A YEAR.
THERE ARE PROFESSIONALS
WHO HAVE PLAYED THEIR WHOLE
ENTIRE LIVES AND
COULDN'T GET IN.
TOGETHER: WHOA.
YEAH.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION I DIDN'T SHOW THA DAY BECAUSE MY PARENTS LOVE
MY BROTHER SO MUCH FOR THE
PIANO AND JUILLIARD, I
DIDN'T WANT TO LET THEM DOWN.
YOU THINK
WE'RE A LETDOWN?
NO. NOT AT ALL.
I JUST HAVE TO PRACTICE A LO TO EVEN CONSIDER COLLEGE.
COLLEGE?
YEAH. NOT EVEN JUILLIARD.
ARE YOUR PARENTS
MAKING YOU PRACTICE?
WELL, NOT STRICT LIKE,
BUT YOU SHOULD HEAR THE WAY
THEY TALK ABOUT MY BROTHER.
IT'S OBVIOUS WHAT THEY WANT.
[GIRLS MOUTHING WORDS]
DO YOU LIKE THE KIND
OF MUSIC YOU PRACTICE?
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
DO YOU LIKE
THE MUSIC WE PLAY.
YEAH. I LOVE IT.
HAVE YOU TOLD YOUR
PARENTS ANY OF THIS?
IT'S NOT REALLY AN
EASY THING TO BRING UP.
OKAY. GOTTA GO.
BYE.
OKAY. SEE YOU TOMORROW.
LIZZY: YOU SHOULD
TELL YOUR PARENTS!
[SIGHS]
YOU JUST HAD TO, HUH?
WHAT?
REALLY?
WHAT?
I JUST YELLED "YOU SHOULD
TELL YOUR PARENTS" TO A
TEENAGE GIRL'S FATHER.
[SIGHS]
I JUST WANT TO BRING THA FAMILY CLOSER TOGETHER.
OR GET HER KILLED BECAUSE
THEY THINK SHE'S FAILING
MATH OR ON DRUGS
OR SOMETHING.
OH.
IF SHE'S NOT HERE
TOMORROW, I'M BLAMING YOU.
SHE'LL BE FINE, RIGHT?
[FORKS CLICK ON PLATES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
MIKA, YOU'RE
NOT HUNGRY TONIGHT?
OH, NO. I AM.
IT'S REALLY GOOD.
MIKA, YOU'VE BEEN PUSHING
THAT PEA DOING LAPS AROUND
YOUR PLATE FOR THE
LAST TEN MINUTES.
UM, I'M SORRY.
MIKA, IS THERE SOMETHING
YOU WANT TO TELL US?
HONEY, YOU KNOW YOU CAN
TALK TO US ABOUT ANYTHING.
WHAT WAS IT THAT YOUR
FRIEND THOUGHT YOU SHOULD
TALK TO US ABOUT?
WELL, I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU
VALUE PRACTICE AND DEDICATION.
YEAH.
AND I KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU TREASURE YOUR TIME
AT JUILLIARD.
AND I KNOW THAT YOU EXPEC FROM OUR FAMILY, AND I DON' WANT TO BE A DISAPPOINTMENT.
A DISAPPOINTMENT?
WHY DO YOU THINK THA YOU'RE A DISAPPOINTMENT?
WELL, NOT THAT I AM A
DISAPPOINTMENT, BUT THA I WILL BE.
MIKA, WHAT'S... WHAT'S
GOING ON?
WHAT IF... WHAT IF I
DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY THE SAME
THING AS... I KNOW HOW PROUD
OF HIM YOU GUYS ARE FOR THE
KIND OF MUSIC THAT HE
PLAYS, AND I...
I DON'T WANT TO BE JUST...
MIKA, MIKA, YES,
WE'RE PROUD OF ALEXANDER.
HE'S GOING TO JUILLIARD.
HE'S DEDICATED.
HE PRACTICES A LOT.
IT'S WHAT HE'S CHOSEN TO DO,
BUT WE'RE NOT PROUD OF HIM
JUST BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT HE DOES.
WE'RE PROUD OF ALEXANDER
BECAUSE HE'S OUR SON.
AND WE'RE PROUD OF YOU
BECAUSE YOU'RE OUR DAUGHTER.
GREAT MUSIC DOESN'T COME
ON A SHEET OF PAPER.
IT'S NOT FOUND IN A BOTTLE.
IT HAPPENS HERE
IN YOUR HEART.
AND MUSIC IS SOMETHING
THAT IS FROM OUR HEART TO
GOD'S HEART.
THAT'S WHY WE PLAY MUSIC.
IT'S AN ACT OF LOVE
FROM US TO HIM.
DON'T HOLD BACK THE
SONG YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN.
DON'T HIDE IT AWAY.
MIKA, WE'RE
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND
FINISH THAT PEA BEFORE I LOSES ALL OF ITS NUTRIENTS.
[LAUGHTER]
YES! THE DAD FROM
"WHEN IN ROME."
FINALLY! YOU SEE IT,
DON'T YOU?
[LIBRARIAN SHUSHES THEM]
NO.
HEY. HOW'S IT GOING?
WELL, THANKS TO YOU I HAD
TO HAVE A VERY UNPLEASAN TALK WITH MY PARENTS.
I'M SORRY.
I JUST ...I'M REALLY
CONFUSED RIGHT NOW.
WELL, I TALKED TO MY
PARENTS ABOUT EVERYTHING,
THE KIND OF MUSIC I WAN TO PLAY, THE SONGS
I WANT TO SING.
AND?
THEY'RE TOTALLY
SUPPORTIVE AND EVEN EXCITED.
THEY WANT US TO PLAY
A SHOW OR SOMETHING.
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW
FREE I FEEL RIGHT NOW.
[MUSIC]
WELL, COME ON!
[MUSIC]
SCREAMING, OUT LATE, RUNNING
DOWN THE STREET...
CAN'T SAY HEY...
CAN BARELY BREATHE...
SO DARN BUSY...
ALL I FEEL IS HEAT...
MAYBE IT'S A BREAK THA WE GOTTA TAKE...
SLOW IT DOWN A LITTLE BEFORE
THE BEAUTY FADES...

I'LL JUST SIT DOWN...

BEFORE IT COMES...
TOES IN THE SAND...
HOLD A LOVING HAND...
FORGET ABOUT THE
CRAZINESS...
FORGET THE CARES I
GOTTA FACE...
I JUST WANT TO
SOAK IT IN...
BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS
A MASTERPIECE...
I CAN FEEL THE

[WHISTLING AND MUSIC]
I JUST DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THIS VERSE.
WHY? I LIKE IT.
BECAUSE THE TWO
AREN'T ...NOT THIS AGAIN.
WHAT IS IT?
OH, COME ON. YOU GUYS
WOULD BE GREAT!
WHAT?
IT'S AN OPEN MIC NIGH AT THE CHURCH COFFEE HOUSE.
THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!
RIGHT?
YOU KNOW I'M NOT GOING
TO SIGN UP FOR THAT.
YOU WOULDN'T BUT...
YOU DIDN'T.
OH, YEAH. IT'S TIME.
NO. I CAN'T, AND YOU KNOW IT.
YES, YOU CAN. YOU BOTH CAN.
YOU'RE GREAT.
HOW COULD YOU?
WHY DOESN' SHE WANT TO DO IT?
SHE'S AFRAID
OF PERFORMING.
LIKE SHE GETS DIZZY
AND SHE CAN'T BREATHE.
WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER,
SHE TRIED TO DO A TALEN CONTEST, BUT SHE PASSED OUT.
IT WAS REALLY SCARY, AND
NOW SHE'S TERRIFIED OF IT.
WHY ISN'T SHE
SCARED TO PLAY FOR YOU?
SHE'S ALWAYS
PLAYED FOR ME.
AND I'VE ALWAYS LISTENED.
AND THEN YOU SHOWED UP, AND
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME IN A
LONG TIME THAT SHE'S
PLAYED FOR ANYBODY ELSE.
AND THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
SHE'S EVER PLAYED WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE.
I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS
STARTING TO NOT BE AFRAID.
[MUSIC]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
[CRICKETS CHIRPING]
OH, HEY, LIZZY.
THANKS FOR CALLING
AND FOR COMING.
COME ON IN.
SHE'S UPSTAIRS.
I'M SORRY
THAT I UPSET HER.
OH, IT'S OKAY, HONEY.
WE'VE ALL TRIED SO HARD TO
HELP HER GET THROUGH THIS.
I'M JUST GLAD SHE HAS A
FRIEND LIKE YOU THAT'S THERE
TO ENCOURAGE HER.
THANKS. I GUESS I'LL GO UP.
OKAY.
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
MOM, I DON' WANT TO TALK.
LIZZY: YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TALK, BUT WILL YOU LISTEN?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
TO SET UP ANOTHER GIG
WITHOUT TELLING ME?
YOU OF ALL PEOPLE.
I KNOW. I'M SORRY.
I SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO
YOU FIRST, BUT...
NO. NOT BUT.
IT WASN'T OKAY.
YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD
KNOW I CAN'T GET UP THERE.
YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO UNDERSTAND.
I KNOW, BUT ...BU YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND, TOO.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
AFRAID OF THIS ANYMORE.
YOU'RE LIKE A SISTER TO ME,
AND I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER
IF I'M ENCOURAGING
YOU OR ENABLING YOU.
ENABLING?
YES, ENABLING.
FRIENDSHIP ISN'T ABOU AGREEING ALL THE TIME.
IT'S ABOUT BEING HONEST AND
HELPING EACH OTHER
WITH YOUR FEARS.
YEAH? AND WHAT FEARS
ARE YOU FACING?
LOSING MY BEST FRIEND.
LOOK, I KNOW SIGNING YOU UP
FOR THE OPEN MIC WAS...
SELFISH? RUDE? BETRAYAL?
I WAS GOING TO SAY RASH,
BUT SMOTHERED IN LOVE?
YOU HAVE THIS
TREMENDOUS GIFT.
SOMETHING THAT OTHERS
LIKE ME WON'T EVER HAVE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD SHARE IT.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T.
I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED.
I KNOW YOU'RE AFRAID
OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE ANYMORE.
YOU CAN'T HIDE
FROM EVERYONE.
YOU NEED TO LET IT OUT.
WHAT FOR?
WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?
I... I CARE ABOUT...
BEING FAMOUS?
NO. AS NOT EXAMPLE.
AN EXAMPLE? FOR WHAT?
HOW TO FREEZE ON STAGE
AND LOOK LIKE A MORON?
TELL ME, WHO AM I SUPPOSED
TO BE AN EXAMPLE FOR?
YOU? THE MARVELOUS MIKA?
MY PARENTS?
NO!
FOR HIM.
YOU WERE GIVEN THIS ...THIS
AMAZING GIFT TO SING AND
MAKE MUSIC.
YOU GET TO WORSHIP HIM IN A
WAY THAT INSPIRES OTHERS
TO WORSHIP.
EVERY TIME YOU PLAY I
SEE HOW MUCH YOU LOVE IT.
I SEE IT IN YOUR EYES.
I HEAR IT IN YOUR VOICE.
I FEEL IT IN YOUR WORDS.
IT JUST BREAKS MY HEAR THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD OU THERE WHO HASN'T BEEN
TOUCHED BY THIS GIFT.
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHA THEY'RE MISSING OUT ON.
DON'T LET FEAR ROB YOU OR
MIKA OR THE REST OF US OF
THE WONDERS OF GOD'S GIFT.
[MUSIC]
CADENCE, COME DOWNSTAIRS!
YOUR BREAKFAST IS
GOING TO GET SOGGY!
CADENCE, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
CADENCE: YEAH. I HEAR YOU.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NOT HUNGRY?
I MADE IT MYSELF.
THERE SHE IS.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
NOT REALLY.
OKAY.
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH LIZZY, WOULD IT?
DAD.
I'M JUST SAYING, YOU
GUYS HAVE BEEN FRIENDS
FOR FOREVER.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE
EVER HAD A FIGHT LIKE THIS.
IT MAKES ME THINK
SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
YOU KNOW, SHE CALLED ME LAS NIGHT BEFORE SHE CAME OVER.
GREAT. NOW YOU GUYS ARE
GOING TO START ON ME, TOO.
WELL, SHE JUST SAID YOU
GUYS HAD A DISAGREEMENT.
SHE WANTED TO MAKE IT RIGHT.
SO SHE DIDN' TELL YOU THEN?
NO, SHE DIDN'T TELL
US WHAT IT WAS ABOUT. NO.
WHAT DIDN'T SHE TELL US?
SHE SIGNED ME UP
FOR AN OPEN MIKE.
I MEAN, CAN YOU
BELIEVE THAT?
HOW COULD SHE?
WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?
SHE THINKS SHE'S YOUR
FRIEND, AND HONESTLY, SHE'S
GREAT AT IT.
YOUR MOM'S RIGHT.
LIZZY HAS ALWAYS
BEEN THERE FOR YOU.
SHE'S ALWAYS HAD YOUR BACK.
SOMETIMES BEING A FRIEND IS
ENCOURAGING EACH OTHER TO
STEP OUT IN FAITH.
I'M SURE ALL SHE WANTED
IS WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU.
THEN WHY WOULD
SHE DO THAT?
BECAUSE SHE
BELIEVES IN YOU.
AND THAT'S WHA FRIENDS DO, RIGHT?
THEY BELIEVE IN EACH OTHER.
[MUSIC]
HEY.
HEY.
HEY.
UM, I'M GOING TO SAY
SOMETHING, AND I'M NO REALLY SURE HOW TO SAY IT SO
PROBABLY GOING TO MESS THIS UP.
HERE GOES.
I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF
PLAYING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.
I'M TERRIFIED
OF IT, ACTUALLY.
JUST I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO OVERCOME IT.
JUST THE THOUGHT OF STANDING
ON A STAGE IN FRONT OF
PEOPLE MAKES ME DIZZY.
IT'S OKAY. I JUS WANT YOU TO...
LIZ, JUS LET ME FINISH.
ALL THAT SAID, I DON' WANT TO BE AFRAID ANYMORE.
WHAT'S THIS?
THIS IS REALLY GOOD.
YEAH, I LIKE
IT A LOT SO FAR.
THAT'S JUST IT.
IT'S NOT FINISHED, AND I
DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD
TO PLAY AN IN COMPLETE
SONG AT OPEN MIC NIGHT.
WAIT. WHAT?
WHAT?
WELL, IT'S GOING TO
BE HARD ENOUGH TO PLAY.
THE LAST THING WE NEED
IS ONLY PLAY HALF A SONG.
YOU AREN'T KIDDING
RIGHT NOW, RIGHT?
BECAUSE THAT WOULD
BE REALLY MEAN.
NO. WHY WOULD I KID ABOU SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS MUSIC?
YOU WERE RIGHT. I CAN'T HIDE.
THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS NEEDS?
WHAT?
PIANO.
