Love & Mercy

Sometimes it scares me to think...

where it's coming from, you know?

Like...

there's someone else inside there, not me.

Well...

what if I...

what if I lose it and never get it back?

What would I do then?

Take a listen to this again, I want to...

do something with it.

Um... I've got... I think I've got it.

The music part, it worked out in my head, but...

I don't know anything else except that it should...

it should sound like, you know, a cry, but...

in sort of a good way or something.

I want these voices at the end just to...

sound...

All right, Chuck, let's have it.

I wish they all could be California...

We don't want to take 16...

Help me, help me, help me...

Baby...

There we go.

I'm losing it. I'm losing the whole record.

That'd be great.

Something's going to happen.

All right, here we go.

You're grass and I'm a power mower.

If everybody had an ocean...

Across the USA...

Then everybody'd be surfin'...

Like Californi-a...

You see them wearing their baggies...

Huarache sandals, too...

A bushy, bushy blonde hairdo...

Yeah, we all grew up in Hawthorne, California.

The brothers here, Dennis, Brian, and Carl.

Carl.

They all live in the same house and I grew up...

a few blocks down. Al... Al, where did you live?

Well, it's been building up inside of me...

for, oh, I don't know how long...

I don't know why, but I keep thinking...

something's bound to go wrong...

- Ooh - But she looks in my eyes...

and makes me realize...

and she says...

I have watched you...

on the shore...

standing by the ocean's roar...

with a different melody, It's the same chord progression...

- with a spin-off. - Mm-hmm.

So, my part in the chorus against the band...

alternates with the intro backing the new melody.

Just gets around.

Gets around. Clever.

Round, round, get around, I get around...

- I get around - Yeah...

Get around, 'round, 'round, 'round...

- I get around... - Okay, hold it!

'Round, 'round, 'round, I get around

Get around, 'round, 'round, I get around...

I'm a real cool head...

- I'm making real good bread - Get around, 'round, 'round...

Well, you knew all along...

that your dad was getting wise to you now...

You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied...

And since he took your set of keys...

you've been thinking that your fun is all through now.

You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied.

But you can come along with me...

'cause we've got a lot of things to do now.

You shouldn't have lied now, you shouldn't have lied...

And we'll have fun, fun, fun...

now that Daddy took the T-bird away.

Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away...

Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away...

Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away...

Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away...

Fun, fun, fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away...

Excuse me.

What?

Oh.

Hi, how are you?

I'm fine, thanks. Are these your shoes?

What? Yeah, yeah, they're my shoes.

I didn't want to, you know, mess up the car...

because I jog.

See, I jog on the beach and, um...

I get sand in my shoes, you know?

So...

Well, that's very considerate.

But I... you know, I also get sand in my socks.

I got holes in my socks, so I did make a mess anyways.

So, I'm sorry about that.

What are you going to do?

You're going to get sand in the car.

It's no problem.

Can I help you today?

I'd like to buy a car.

Cadillac, you know?

Great.

- You've come to the right place. - Yeah.

This is the Fleetwood.

- Wow. - My personal favorite.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Well, take your time, there's no pressure.

Blue is a very calm color.

Is this guy a friend of yours? I feel like he's watching us.

No, he's not my friend.

He's my bodyguard.

Come on.

Something like that.

It's a funny word, isn't it, bodyguard?

- Uh... - Bodyguard.

- Are we on "Candid Camera"? - No.

No, no, no. I do need a car.

Can we just sit in here for a minute?

Sure.

Well, the master lock feature works.

We know that much.

Hmm.

My brother died.

Oh. Oh, I'm...

I'm so sorry.

He drowned.

A few years ago.

Two.

But I'm all... broken up about it still, you know?

I mean, he wasn't even 40 yet.

That is... that's terrible.

- So sad. - Yeah.

But I just don't get it.

I think about it every day, and I just don't get it.

I guess it's better just not to think about it, right?

Just...

force it out of your mind.

Sure. Yeah, I can understand that.

I'm not married anymore.

Okay.

Do you have a pen I could use?

I guess I need a little piece of paper, too.

Uh, sure. Just, um...

Thank you.

Brian, come on out of the car.

- I'm Brian. - Melinda.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Come on, Brian. - I want this car.

- - The Fleetwood?

No, no, yeah, but I want this car. Okay?

I want this car. This one we're sitting in.

- Oh, the floor model? - Yes, it's your favorite, right?

- You want... - It's special. You understand?

- Can I have it? - Sure.

- Okay. - Yes.

- Hey. - Hey.

- What's happening, guys? - Hi, Gene.

- Hi, I'm Dr. Eugene Landy. - Hi.

How are you?

I'm Brian's brother from another mother.

- What's up? - I want the blue Fleetwood, Gene.

- Really? - Yeah.

You sure you don't want a Maserati?

- No offense. - None taken.

- No, that one. - Really?

- It's her favorite. - Okay.

Well, I'm going to expect a deal here. You know?

Something worth our while.

Do you know who this man is? Brian Wilson.

Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

- You didn't mention that. - Well, 'cause that stuff doesn't matter.

That's ego stuff. You know?

Are you kidding me?

I love your music. I grew up on it.

So, thank you.

That makes me feel really good, Melinda Ledbetter.

Okay.

- Melinda Ledbetter. - Right? It's a nice name.

Uh, why don't you get started on the paperwork?

- Okay? - Will do.

Great. And thank you again for your help.

Let's go, Brian.

Come on, guy.

I think it's a good choice.

- You feel good about it? - Yeah.

- You sure? - Yeah.

Okay.

What the hell was that about?

I'm not really sure.

You okay?

Yeah.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to start our descent.

Please return your seats to an upright position...

and fasten your seat belts.

You okay?

I think I'm having a heart attack.

Brian! Brian!

- Brian! Brian! Brian! - Get him something!

- Bring us a pillow! - Breathe!
