Deadly Display

Midnight on the wall

And you're so far away

If I could cut this tether

I'd be with you today

The room is cold and silent

But there is no other way

If I could only touch you

I'd give it all away

I'd give it all away

We do it all for love

We know no other way

We do it all for love

We give it all away

We do it all for love

Science tells thousand stories

Stories of your love

The night is knocking at my window

I'm alone again

I wonder where you are

I wonder what you'd say

If I appeared outside your door

And held you through the day

This day is cold and silent

But there is no other way

Tomorrow, I will touch you

And I'll give it all away

I'll give it all away

We do it all for love

We know no other way

We do it all for love

We give it all away

We do it all for love

The silence tells thousand stories

Stories of your love

This night will fade away

And I will be with you again

I'll be with you again

I'll be with you again

I'll be with you again

Whoa.

That was great.

Yeah, we almost beat, actually.

Yeah.

I really liked that.

You up to much later?

Just hooking up with Louise in about--

shit, 20 minutes ago.

Perfecto.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Tess.

How'd the rehearsal go?

Awesome, considering I'm practice in a few years.

Was Doug all right with you?

Yeah, like nothing even happened.

He was such a pro.

Honestly, it had me so nervous.

Anyway, you and mom about?

I can come round, show you my new costume.

It's so--

Whatever that is.

Send us a picture.

Listen, I've got a favor to ask you.

Would you mind staying on at the club a little bit longer?

I've got plans today.

Can Scotland stay?

He's just finishing up lighting and sound.

It would only be for a few hours.

I've got someone who's interested in buying the club.

He said he's going to drop down there around 1:30.

So if you could show him around, keep

him happy until I get there.

His name's Edward.

Listen, sorry to spring this on you last minute,

but it looks like he might be willing to pay

over the asking price.

I was talking to him about you, actually.

Seems he used to work in the West End.

All the big shows.

Pretty sure he said he's retired now, though.

Anyway, are you OK with all that?

Yeah, that's absolutely fine.

Oh, bless you, Tess.

I'll send you over the details.

Hey.

Hey.

Absolute magic on the stage today.

Yeah, completely agree.

Isn't Louise supposed to be picking you up or something?

Yeah.

She's about as late as I am.

You know, perfect for each other.

We're going away to her folks' for the weekend.

We've not been able to see each other much recently.

Work's been hectic.

Ships passing in the night, as they say.

Well, you know how it is.

Yeah, I know how it was.

Is?

Sorry.

Yeah.

Tess, if we're going to make this whole band thing work,

you've got to accept things how they are.

Doug, are you being serious?

What, because I look to you in that one line on that song?

Oh, come on, it didn't mean anything.

It was just a song.

It made me feel uncomfortable.

I just thought you'd like to know.

I mean, yeah, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I won't do it again.

Honestly, Tess, I want this to work.

We deserve this.

But things are better now.

Nothing can hold us back.

Let's rock and--

Roll.

Yeah.

I better be off.

Doug, Doug.

It's a good-- you know?

Oh, shit.

Yeah, cheers.

Later.

Practice, 10:00 AM.

Stupid bastard.

You scared me.

It's all gone?

Yeah.

You know that's Doug's?

He'll kill you if he sees you in it.

Need any help?

I'm good, thanks.

Hey, can't you read?

Staff only.

Surely I'm counted as staff.

At least today.

Just messing.

Well, actually, I do have someone coming

in 90 minutes for my dad, so I would appreciate

a little bit of help.

Cool.

DOUG (ON PHONE): Hi Jess, it's Doug.

Just want to say thank you again for today.

Maybe things might work out between us

and we can be together again on on stage.

As a band, I mean.

I'm glad we can remain friends.

And Louise is coming to our next rehearsal.

She even said she doesn't mind doing some--

Well, I guess it's kick out time.

Afraid so.

Leave your glass on the bar and I'll wash it up.

I appreciate it.

What are you up to later on?

I'm supposed to be having cocktails with Melanie.

You know Mel, right?

Melanie.

Melanie Hopper from college.

She joined the army, didn't she?

Yeah, that's her.

So she's on leave at the moment.

Though, I've got to show some guy around this place and then

wait for my dad.

Should be done around 4:00.

Would you mind if I joined you and Mel?

I mean, I could pick you up after.

Here, you give me a call and we can go for a drink.

So I've got some ideas for a music video for your band,

and I'd like to run that by you.

Yeah, that's great, Matt.

Actually, I was going to run it through with Doug.

I completely forgot today.

So maybe the three of us could get together

and have a little brainstorm.

And I'm sure Doug will have some really good ideas as well.

So yeah.

But thank you so much for today, and cheers.

So much help.

You still like him, don't you?

I mean, it's none of my business.

But he's happy now.

You guys are getting your band back together,

and I think you should focus on what's important.

Yeah?

Didn't you just say it was none of your business

and we should focus on what's important?

So what?

Were just drinking out there to gain some Dutch courage

to ask me out or something?

You're a really nice guy, but--

But?

But how would it work?

It wouldn't be fair on Doug.

He'd feel like a third wheel.

Like I did?

OK, OK.

So you think now that the band is back together and I'm single

and you're single, that suddenly it's your go?

Don't make this any more awkward than it already is.
