THE WAY TO HAPPINESS

I think we're almost there, folks.

I just talked to the venue. The entries are exhausted!

Almost.

Left something to eat?

Wow!

Gonna be awesome, man. Cheer up!

- My landlord is calling me. - Really?

I can not wait any longer. I need to borrow money.

- I can not give you more money. - I do not want to give me.

- You lend me and then I'll pay. - Okay. I'll fix it.

Have pity, mother. Need to do it right here?

Where else can I go? Janie, get $ 10 in my purse.

Pay Fuel.

You have to dress like a prostitute just to introduce me to someone?

Wow!

Do not dress like a prostitute.

I do not see Ethan long. I want to be beautiful for him.

's It.

There are girls in the room

time Ladies are inside my blouse

Hello, Little Rock!

Okay. What?

- What is happening? - A girl wants to talk to Ethan.

Do you know anyone who can speak with the band before the show.

- Not a fan. - How so? Spit.

Damn.

- What is happening? - We have to talk in private.

No. I do not. Every time I say it...

Is bad news. I want to share this with the boys.

And with Iris.

- Talk! - Give me two minutes.

Bad news is going to be about me or about the banda, whatever.

- We are a family. - It was cool what he said.

- Taking Billy. - How beautiful.

One, two, three.

Okay. But the record I tried.

Someone is in a bad mood today.

- Hi - Hi

Who is she?

What can I do for you, girl?

Ethan, I am. Mary Ann.

Damn.

My God! I do not believe you do not remember me!

I think it's been a long time. It's been 13 years!

I am Mary Ann Jones! My God!

- Remember we went out together? - How wonderful.

I do not...

- I do not even remember you. - Can I talk to you...

- For five minutes in particular? - Remember what I said, man.

Shut up. No! Sorry.

You can talk right here. We are a family.

We are a family and this is my girlfriend.

The show starts in five minutes. What do you want?

You better talk privately.

No. I think not.

- Go ahead. - Right.

I do not know how to start. So I'll just say.

Ethan, you have a daughter.

She is 13 years old. Her name is Jane.

But many call her Janie. Her name is Janie Jones.

- Like the song by The Clash. - Shut up, man.

Okay. I think not.

- What's your name again? - Mary Ann.

Mary Ann...

What do you want?

Money?

Do not be fooled because the bus. I have nothing.

Do not want your money. I need help.

I have to get rid of the drugs and need...

I need someone to take care of her, because I can not .

Do you believe it?

My God in Heaven!

Girl, I know that all this is very difficult...

But I think is wanting me to come here to explore...

To say I have a daughter.

What was I thinking?

Okay, guys. Five minutes.

Do you believe her?

I do not have a daughter!

I've never seen this woman!

The jury is still deliberating.

- Okay, honey? - Everything.

- Want more soda? - No thanks.

- You talked to him? And there? - I spoke.

- Are eager to meet you! - Really?

Mom, want to go ahead? I can not see from here.

I'm staying right here. But can go there.

- Are you sure? - Sure! Sure!

Mother?

Emergency.

- I saw your daughter in front of the stage. - She has his eyes.

Shut up. She's not my daughter.

- I have no daughter. - What did I say?

Do not need to talk like that.

Thanks, man.

Technically, she could be his daughter.

Technically, it can be daughter either.

- But looks like you. - What?

- What? - What?

- What? - Say what?

- Nothing. Say something? - I do not.

No.

This is funny. Are having fun.

It's very funny.

Do not start.

It is one of black jacket with guitar in hand?

- Yes - Right.

Okay?

Which of you is Ethan?

- I am. - Can we talk in private?

I do not remember this woman. I have to believe it...

Is my daughter?

- Do not fall for it. - If you ask me, she resembles you.

You knew her mother? This is true, incidentally.

I think she accompanied our tour once.

A long time ago, man. Hardly knew her.

Do not complicate things vai, vai?

- What madness! - According to the certificate...

You are the parent. She has to stay with you.

We're on tour. This is no life for a girl.

I agree. But the thing is:

I called the rehab center, not find her mother.

We called home and cell. The two are off.

I pulled her file and saw that was arrested recently for possession of drugs.

Possession of methamphetamine. The court has a warrant for her.

Now...

She may appear one way and give in all this.

Please God yes.

But none of this is good for this girl .

She must have other relatives.

She said she did not know anyone, but we will investigate .

Hi Is everything okay?

Was telling his friend... I'm sorry, girl. What's it called?

- Iris. - Iris.

- Beautiful name. - Thank you.

Iris, I said to his friend Ethan that we have a problem.

- What is it? - Look.

- I think she is not my daughter. - If you do not stick with it...

Have to call the social worker and it will go to the orphanage...

And then to a foster home.

But what about you? Your name is on the birth certificate.

- You have a daughter? - No, no.

- I have a daughter. - If I call the court now...

Can not go anywhere. They will have to stay here until the hearing.

And if the court order recognizing fatherhood, and they ask...

And you are the parent, you're in trouble.

And it will. A living hell for you.

- I do not think you have a daughter. - I know it's a shock.

- This is not happening. - Thinking about not stick with it?

I'm thinking about what is best for Girl .

- I think I can not do that. - Right. You can choose.

Do not need to go with it. I call the social worker...

But I think I will not like.

Come say "Hi, Dad."

And if you change your mind, I'm there.

Okay?

- Everything. - Right.

Take a minute for them.

Jane Jones, this is Ethan. Ethan, this is Jane.

- Hi - Hi

Your mother abandoned you?

Damn!

Damn! Sorry. I do not mean it.

Did not mean to.

- You know how to play? - I know.

- Long time? - I do not know. Some two years.

Well ..

I know it's weird, but why not stay with us...

Until his mother call or show up?

Okay.

've Walked into a tour bus?

Well ..

This is garbage.

- Hi, I'm Iris. - Hi

Want to meet the bus?

No, I'm right here. Thank you.

Guys, has a child on the bus.

Sorry, but what could I do?

- Do not get stoned? - Dude, do not put it here.

That sucks!

You can not take a child on tour.

It's bad luck . It is the same as take a woman on a ship.

- She is not a woman. Is a child. - Iris is a woman.

- So what? - This is not a ship.

Okay. So good luck.

- Open the window. - It's stuck.

I hide my porn magazine.

Does anyone here want to know the rest of the band.

- This is Chuck, our drummer. - Janie Jones. I like your name.

- Hi, Chuck. - This is Dave, bassist.

- Hi All right? - This is Billy, guitarist.

- He played with Ashlee Simpson. - Hi

- Okay. Come forward a bit. - That. It.

Why is filling my bag? Is only for a few days.

This is not what I'm talking about. I'm not the villain here.

- Really? - Yeah.

I am the villain of the story. I'm just trying to do the right thing.

- What bullshit! - Whatever. It was long ago.

She must be a slut drugged.
