kind of power over me.
I still care what he thinks.
I'm sorry, but how?
How can that possibly be?
The guy is a jerk.
Well, that's easy for you to say, but...
No. He is a jerk. He is a jerk.
It's not a question. He is a jerk.
No, he is, he's a jerk. He's a jerk.
Okay, here's what I think.
I think that the truth is that you are
terrified of losing Sally Michaels...
...because you'd have nothing
to hide behind...
...and you'd have to
stand on your own feet.
Wow. I didn't see that coming.
No. Well...
...I have amazing insight.
I would use it on myself,
only I don't have any problems.
And I will tell you my other insight.
I think you are way too talented
and gifted...
...and unusual to let anyone
keep you from standing.
That's wonderfully sensitive, Alex.
Especially from a man
who wears such tight pants.
It forces all the blood to my heart.
Listen.
You were amazing tonight.
As were you.
The few syllables you got out
were absolutely devastating.
Does this feel any better?
It would if it was on the right side.
And that...
...felt much better.
- Hello? Hello?
- Hey, buddy.
How's my hit songwriter?
Hang on. Just... Just hang on.
You don't sound right.
Maybe it's the connect... Hello?
I have a strange situation here.
Oh, you've got a strange situation?
I'm at Beth's soccer game with my
ex-wife who's here with my ex-gardener.
They came on a riding mower.
I slept with Sophie.
You slept with Sophie?
Remember your blood pressure. You're
a tall man. You need all you can get.
Are you out of your mind?
Alex, this is terrible.
Unless, of course, you're happy about it,
then I couldn't be more pleased for you.
- Should we do pros and cons?
- Not necessary.
- I think she's up. I gotta go.
- We got a show today.
Two o'clock. I'm gonna pick you up
in a little while.
I want you to wear the white shirt
with the fan-friendly pants.
Too much. Too much.
Hanging up on you. Hanging up.
Good morning.
- Hi.
- That was Chris just checking in.
So I'm gonna help clean up a little bit...
...seeing as we don't
have any work today.
Right. Fine. Thank you. Very nice of you.
I would obviously invite you to stay,
it's just that I have a show today.
- Oh, really?
- Oh, yes. A big one.
I'm headlining
at Adventureland Amusement Park:
Long Island's family fun center.
Biggest outdoor amusement center
east of Rye Playland.
- You have my permission to be impressed.
- Sounds great.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
- So.
- So.
I mean, you...
You could come.
I said I wasn 't gonna lose my head
- But then pop goes my heart
- Pop goes my heart
I wasn 't gonna fall in love again
- But then pop goes my heart
- Pop goes my heart
And I just can 't let you go
I can 't lose this feeling
Okay. Let's hear everyone clapping.
Come on. These guys on line at
the Little Dipper, let's hear you clapping.
Don't... Don't if you don't want to.
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver
I said I wasn 't gonna lose my head
- But then pop goes my heart
- Pop goes my heart
And I just can 't let you go
Thank you very much.
Thank you, Adventureland. Thank you.
Thank you.
That was great. That was great.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Good show.
All right, you gotta do the encore.
- Do I really have to?
- It's in the contract.
Wanna do "Meaningless Kiss"
or "Dance With Me Tonight"?
This is embarrassing. They don't want it.
No, it's not.
These songs, they're fantastic.
I mean, I've never heard
most of them before...
...but they're full of wonderful
melodic surprises and they're catchy...
...and they're making people happy
and they're just good.
So you should be incredibly proud
to sing them.
You're not just saying that
because you've been on the wave ride?
They're good, really good.
Okay, then.
"Dance With Me Tonight," please.
It's not often one man gets to
say that to another with such joy.
Thank you.
Okay. PoP face.
Thank you.
It's been so long
Since I've known right from wrong
