- Hey, sorry I was late.
Was working late at the ranch.
- [Dakota] I'll get you a plate.
- Thanks sis.
- You've been shoveling manure all day,
don't you think it'd be a good idea
to go wash your hands?
- It'll be fine, here.
- That was another real fine meal hon, thank you.
- Good Lord, we thank you for the food, amen.
- Don't you think out ought to thank your sister
for that fine meal?
- Thank you.
It looks real nice.
- You know, just because you come home late,
don't think you're getting out of your chores.
- Wait, it's dark out.
- That's not my problem, now is it?
- Did you reserve time yet?
- No, no, not yet.
I don't have the money to.
I did finish that song though.
- You did? - Yeah, yeah.
- [TJ] And I think it's pretty good.
- I can't wait to hear it.
- [Hank] Hey, don't you be helping him none!
He needs to grow up and learn to be a man!
- Man.
That man's got eyes in the back of his head.
All right.
Get on now, I got this.
(solemn music)
- [Dakota] Why are you so hard on him?
- He's a dreamer.
Dreamers don't amount to much.

And not just any old song but good songs.

I just have this idea for another song
I wanna get down before dad gets back.
Hey!
Here.
You have your permit, go before dad gets back.

I'll ask you again, where is your moms car?
I can't believe that you let your sister drive that car.
What in the world were you doing
that was so important that you were
too busy to drive her up to the store?

I didn't say a thing to him.

But, I've been thinking.
I'm gonna give you a promotion.
It's gonna be more money,
it's also gonna be more responsibility.
- You're gonna give me a promotion?
- Yeah.
Now that your dad can't work at the plant anymore,
you're gonna have to step up.
You're the only one left.
Your dad?
He needs you.

Your voice is nothing special,
but you've got a real talent for writing songs.

I forgot about those songs.
Pardon me.

I'd like to manage you

Well,
you have a tumor in your larynx.
But the good news is that it's not cancerous.
- Thank goodness.
- And he is gonna need an operation
to remove the tumor.
- Okay, so how long before he can sing again?
- I'm sorry, he won't be singing again.
(solemn music)
- Well, hang on.
Any chance of rehabilitating his voice over time?
- Well the tumor is on the vocal cord.
The focus of this operation
is to have him continue to breathe on his own.
- This is just getting worse and worse.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
What do you mean breathing on my own?
- Well there's a second tumor on your other vocal cord.
It's very small and it doesn't seem
to pose a threat right now.
- Well can't you remove that one too?
- You should let that one alone for now.
I wanna keep an eye on it.
If for any reason we should need to
remove that one as well,
it may effect breathing.
- And what if that gets worse?
- We'll remove it.
And then there is the chance that you could
become dependent on a respiratory machine.

He only released the one album.
Now he won't have a chance to record any of his new stuff.
He'd lost his mom and his sister,
but he finally figured out a way
to channel all that pain into his new songs.
- If you don't mind me asking,

- Are you drunk?
Again?
- Maybe just a little.
Why are you freaking out for?
(fast upbeat music)
Not like I was groping you.
Didn't I tell you to get rid of that rat?
What are you doing?
Hey.
Where are you going?
♪ Hey-O ♪
- I apologize okay.
You don't have to freak out.
(uncle grunts)
You crazy, you kicked me in the nuts!
- You're pathetic!
(car revving)
♪ Hey-O ♪
- You stay here Scrappy, I'll be right back.
$127.
Can't be staying in motels after this.
(slow piano solo)
- I make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
I even cut the crusts off.
Ah.
There you go eating solid food again.
I noticed you were playing again.
Sounded real nice.
I don't know why the good Lord took away your voice.
- That's life.
- My mother always says, (slow tense music)
when God closes one door, He always opens another.
I think you should just keep writing songs.
That's what you're good at.
(door ringing)
- Hi there, what can I get you?
(TJ chuckles)
- What's your friends name?
- [Sunshine] Scrappy.
- She looks hungry,
are you gonna get her a burger or something?
- Yeah.
Sure.
You know, you look familiar.
Do I know you from somewhere?
- No, I get that a lot actually.
- Okay, so one burger and then can I get you anything?
- Yeah, let me think.
- Mom, that's TJ Millhouse.
- I don't mean to intrude,
but do you think that my daughters could get your autograph?
- Oh, yeah, yeah, of course.
Do we have something we could--
- Yeah, yeah.
Here.
- And what are your names?
- Emmy.
- Lily.
- Emmy and Lily.
All right.
- Wait til Jessica hears about this.
- All right, there you are.
- Thank you.
We are big big fans.
- Oh yeah?
Hey, why don't you go in front of me.
I'm still thinking about what I want.
- Are you sure?
- Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, why don't you put their order on my bill.
- [Sunshine] Yeah, sure.
- Well we actually called our order in.
- Oh, yeah.
Here ya go.
I think you're all good to go.
- Thank you, thanks again.
- Oh yeah, pleasure.
- I didn't recognize you at first.
You look a lot different from your photos.
And your voice, I didn't expect that.
What happened to your voice?
- Oh, I just had surgery on my throat.
- You brought a dog into work?
- Well I can't just leave her in the car all day!
- That's it, you're fired!
(tense music)
- Fine.
(engine chugs)
- What's her name?
- Sunshine.
- Here ya are.
- Thank you, you're very kind.
- Welcome.
- You know, I can't believe this is my sons place.
It's big enough to park an airplane in here.
- You've never been here before?
- No, I've been kind of busy.
- Did he tell you about his surgery?
- No, he didn't.
But I read about it in one of them magazines.
- Well he'll be back soon.
He just went out to grab some food.
- Okay.
Well, can my boy talk?
- Excuse me?
- He can't talk, all right.
I mean I know that they removed
some of his vocal cords
and can he still talk?
- It's more like a whisper.
Seems like the two of you were not very close.
- You can say that's a fair assessment.
What are you, his maid?
- I'm the physicians assistant.
- Well look at that!
My boys got an assistant!
- Dad.
(slow paced music)
What are you doing here?
- I just thought I'd come by and check on my son.
See how he's doing.
- [Hope] I'm gonna give you two some space.
- What's with the cane?
- I get winded easily.
- Was it cancer?
- No.
- Well that's good.
You know, you've done quite well for yourself son.
Big house, your own assistant,
and all from playing the guitar.
- Yeah.
What do you want?
- Why, am I taking you from something?
- Look,
I am sorry
I told her to take that car.
There's nothing I can do to bring her back.
- You walked out on me boy.
- What else was I supposed to do?
- You know, maybe it's best I get going.
- Yeah, maybe it is for the best.
(slow tense music)
- It's gonna have to do for now.
(slow country music)
- I'm going out for a walk.
- Are you okay?
- [TJ] Yeah, I just need some fresh air.
- Wait!
Take this with you, it's dark out there.
(light gentle music)
(window knocking)
- All right, all right, I'm leaving.
I'm sorry, sorry. - Whoa!
- [TJ] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Hey it's me, it's me!
I'm the guy from the restaurant.
- Oh, sorry.
I thought you were the police or something.
- What are you doing out here?
- Oh you know, just taking a little break.
- A break?
- Yeah, yeah, I was just resting.
- Out here?
- Really, you don't have to do this.
- No, really, it's fine.
We have plenty to eat.
- [Sunshine] Scrappy.
- Hope, this is a friend of mine
and I've invited her for dinner.
- Well, how nice!
I hope you're hungry.
We have plenty.
- That's very kind of you.
- I bet the two of you are thirsty?
Can I get you anything?
- We have literally every drink out there.
- Oh, I'll just have water.
- There's sparkling, and seltzer,
mountain, mineral,
we even have those fruity ones.
- Sparkling?
- And how 'bout you TJ?
- [TJ] Oh, don't worry, I got it.
- Okay.
- Do you happen to see where my dog went?
(upbeat country music)
I'll be right back.
(Scrappy barks)
Oh no, you did not poop in here did you?
This would seriously be the worst place
for you to do that.
- Got this for ya.
- Thank you.
- Hey.
(guitar solo)
I'm gonna get a bowl of water for Scrappy.
- Thanks.
- It's a beautiful night.
- So what's it like being famous?
I've always wondered.
- I mean, I don't care for it too much.
- Really?
- The money was great though.
So, why were you really sleeping in your car?
- Well, I was staying at my Uncle's place
and things just didn't work out.
- So you're homeless?
Well, I mean, if you want,
you could stay here.
- Stay here with you?
- Yeah, I don't see why not.
I mean, I got like nine rooms.
- I don't know if that's such a good idea.
I mean, we barely know each other, I have the dog.
- I insist.
Oh.
You play the guitar?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I actually know a couple of your songs.
- Really?
You're gonna have to play some of them for me then.
- Oh, my voice isn't very good.
- Hey, that's what they said about me.
- Who said that?
- Managers, producers,
my record company.
- Well I thought your voice was, is.
Sorry.
- That's okay, really.
Let's hear you play then.
- Okay.
- Your hand's shaking.
- That's because I'm very nervous.
- Just close your eyes, take a deep breath.

- Say something to her!
- No sorry, I think I actually liked
your version better than mine.
- You're just being nice.
I wasn't good at all.
The chorus was really hard so I had to
change it up a bit. (slow upbeat music)
And I...
- Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Hey.
Wait, wait, wait, hold on, just one second.
Stay right there.
What are you doing right now?
Come over.
No, yes, I mean right now.
You can do that again, right?

She hit me!
Thank you baby, I knew you'd come to your senses.

You're gonna hurt your hand.
(upbeat music)
- [Photographer] That's good.
- This just might work.
- I know, right?
Yeah, she's got a good look.
You know, the doctor said I was
never gonna get my voice back and,
well then I met you. (slow gentle music)
And I feel like you became my voice.
And what I really wanna know
is my sweet Sunshine,
would you be my voice forever?
- Yeah, yeah of course.
Yes!
(TJ laughing)
- Do you know if he showed up?
- Sorry mate, ceremony's about to start.
He'd of been here by now, wouldn't he?
- Well now that's all right.
It was a long shot anyway.
He's here.
- TJ.
- I was thinking you weren't gonna show up.
- Oh I came to see this day.
And I wanted to tell you that I'm sorry.
- Ed!

- Where are they?
What's taking them so long?
- They took off out the east exit.
- What?
I told them the south.
- Kat, where are you going?
- I'm going off to see where they are.
- Limo was waiting, they're long gone.
- You're kidding.
Did you not see how sick TJ was?
- I didn't, sorry.
- I'm calling him.
- It might've been the biggest audience
we've ever played for.
- It was a sold out show. (solemn music)
They were all there to see you.
You belong on that stage.
- Well they were there to see you too.
(TJ coughing)
Are you okay?
TJ?
TJ are you okay?
(TJ gasping) No?
(fast gentle music)
- I know the timing couldn't be any worse,
but you need to be in Seattle in six hours.
You were supposed to be on the plane already.
- I can't just leave him.
- I know love, I know, but
we can't cancel.
We can't cancel a show now, can we?
And he's got the best possible team working on him.
I just spoke to the surgeon.
- She's right, you go, okay?
I'll stay here with him.
- Thanks Hank.
There's not much you can do at this point is there?
And I will have him back in 12 hours, I promise.
- Okay.
- All right, love, thank you.
You'll call if you hear anything, won't you?
- Yes I will.
As soon as I hear.
- Come on darling.
- Thank you.
- TJ is a fighter, he's gonna be okay.
Come here.
(audience cheering)
- Good evening Seattle!
You all look lovely tonight.
Some of you may already have heard,
but my husband TJ Millhouse
was rushed to surgery last night.
We heard on the radio coming here,
the DJ asking you to bring your hearts tonight
in support of him. (audience cheering)
So tonight, I'm dedicating this song to him.
We love you TJ!

- Son, I know I've been hard on you.
And God knows I've been downright mean.
I guess I just wanted you to do better than me.
And now here you are, fighting for your life.
God, if you take anyone tonight then take me.
Not this young man.
He's got his whole life ahead of him yet.
I love you.
- [Sunshine] That other tumor in TJ's throat
finally got a hold of him.
The doctor said they removed what they could,
and that we should just pray for the best.
We all took turns checking in on him.
- Morning, I made you all some breakfast.
Come on over here and have a seat.
- Thank you.
- It's about the only meal that I make
that I don't usually screw up.
I know you're not hungry and all,
but you do need to eat.
It is the Millhouse rule.
Prayers.
Dear Lord, we thank you for this wonderful food
and our special family,
precious as they are.
- He's gonna be all right Hank.
I can feel it.
- Would you mind if I referred to you as my daughter?
- I would like that very much.
- Good.
Dig in.
- [Sunshine] Days went by
and I decided to plant some flowers out front,
hoping to pass the time.
- You planting flowers? (slow triumphant music)
- TJ?
You're awake!
What happened to your breathing tube?
- I'm fine, I don't need it.
Never realized how long of a walk it was
to the backyard though.
(both chuckling)
- I think something's going on here.
- We're having a baby?
- I think so.
- Oh.
How do you know?
- I just do.
(TJ laughing)
- [TJ] We're having a baby!
