1
00:00:01,179 --> 00:00:04,448
Growing up, our neighborhood was
filled with all types of families

2
00:00:04,474 --> 00:00:06,929
that were well-known for certain things.

3
00:00:06,955 --> 00:00:08,931
But everyone knew that
the Williams family

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,445
was a musical family.

5
00:00:10,471 --> 00:00:12,172
We all played instruments.

6
00:00:12,198 --> 00:00:15,203
With a dad who was a music professor,
we didn't really have a choice.

7
00:00:15,229 --> 00:00:17,551
I could play the scales
before I could ride a bike.

8
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:20,367
That was partly because I had the
coordination of a bumblebee,

9
00:00:20,393 --> 00:00:22,289
but mainly because of my dad.

10
00:00:26,109 --> 00:00:27,931
When Daddy closed his eyes,

11
00:00:27,957 --> 00:00:30,710
I knew that meant he
was really feeling it.

12
00:00:32,085 --> 00:00:34,703
I wanted to feel like
that when I played, too.

13
00:00:46,171 --> 00:00:47,827
Bill, you know I've
always been a big fan

14
00:00:47,853 --> 00:00:50,034
and, as usual, you did not disappoint.

15
00:00:50,103 --> 00:00:52,364
I really hope you'll think about it.

16
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:53,796
Definitely.

17
00:00:54,897 --> 00:00:57,622
And this is my wife, Lillian;
And my kids, Kim and Dean.

18
00:00:57,648 --> 00:00:58,724
What a pleasure.

19
00:00:58,793 --> 00:01:00,551
Dean's the other saxophone
player in the family.

20
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:03,456
Really? Well, you gonna be
onstage one day like your dad?

21
00:01:03,482 --> 00:01:05,684
Well, actually, I'm about
to play at the State Fair.

22
00:01:05,710 --> 00:01:07,931
Well, my school band is.

23
00:01:07,957 --> 00:01:09,500
But I'm first chair.

24
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:10,987
First chair.

25
00:01:11,013 --> 00:01:12,942
He's a regular chip off the ol' block?

26
00:01:12,968 --> 00:01:14,864
- You could say that.
- Yeah.

27
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:17,546
Hey, Dad, they're paying us
to play at the Fair, right?

28
00:01:17,816 --> 00:01:19,625
Now you can really say it.

29
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,794
A tour all across Alabama?

30
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:25,103
Bill, that is wonderful.

31
00:01:25,129 --> 00:01:26,862
I couldn't believe it at first myself.

32
00:01:26,931 --> 00:01:28,379
But he wants me and
the guys to headline.

33
00:01:28,437 --> 00:01:30,206
- That's awesome, Dad.
- That's great, honey.

34
00:01:30,275 --> 00:01:32,474
So, what'd you tell him?
Are you gonna do it?

35
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:33,802
Of course he's gonna do it.

36
00:01:33,828 --> 00:01:36,335
- Y-You're gonna do it, right?
- Please say you're doing it.

37
00:01:36,361 --> 00:01:38,551
Be cool. There's a lot to consider.

38
00:01:38,635 --> 00:01:40,341
You know I'm up for tenure,
and taking time off

39
00:01:40,367 --> 00:01:42,539
to go on the road could
possibly jeopardize that.

40
00:01:42,689 --> 00:01:44,263
I told him I'd let him know soon.

41
00:01:44,289 --> 00:01:46,034
Well, no matter what you decide,

42
00:01:46,103 --> 00:01:47,689
you have my full support.

43
00:01:47,715 --> 00:01:49,991
Thank you, baby. That means a lot.

44
00:01:51,793 --> 00:01:54,919
- We can go shopping in Tuskegee.
- You all think you're going, too, don't you?

45
00:01:54,945 --> 00:01:57,526
- I don't trust those groupies.
- Musicians are hot.

46
00:01:57,552 --> 00:01:58,863
No school!

47
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:03,000
Daddy was getting a chance
to play on a bigger stage

48
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:05,692
and so was I: The State Fair.

49
00:02:05,718 --> 00:02:08,242
It brought with it a half
day of school for Fair Day

50
00:02:08,268 --> 00:02:10,474
and the best shows and
rides you could imagine!

51
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,481
One night, I saw a cow give birth

52
00:02:12,507 --> 00:02:16,617
and saw Cory throw up through his nose
after riding The Enterprise five times.

53
00:02:17,396 --> 00:02:19,054
Who were the real animals that night?

54
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:30,809
Dean, dinner!

55
00:02:33,172 --> 00:02:36,065
Mom, since the Fair's coming up

56
00:02:36,091 --> 00:02:39,018
and I have a solo in the concert...

57
00:02:39,051 --> 00:02:41,553
When school lets out early, I'm
going with Cassandra and Corynella.

58
00:02:41,579 --> 00:02:43,567
Don't you have a paper...

59
00:02:45,638 --> 00:02:46,846
Forgive us, Dean.

60
00:02:46,872 --> 00:02:49,198
Please continue bragging
about your solo.

61
00:02:49,231 --> 00:02:52,534
I was hoping that maybe I could
get a new shirt for the concert.

62
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,721
Maybe a silk one. I want to look cool.

63
00:02:54,747 --> 00:02:58,213
First of all, you know you only get clothes
at the beginning of the school year.

64
00:02:58,239 --> 00:03:00,416
Second... a silk shirt?

65
00:03:00,449 --> 00:03:02,427
Which one of the Pips are you replacing?

66
00:03:02,544 --> 00:03:04,135
Hold on, hold on.

67
00:03:04,161 --> 00:03:05,793
Maybe the boy has a point, Lil.

68
00:03:05,862 --> 00:03:08,846
This is their first time playing in front
of real people who don't have to clap.

69
00:03:08,872 --> 00:03:10,103
Plus, he's got a solo.

70
00:03:10,172 --> 00:03:11,705
Boy's got to look sharp!

71
00:03:11,731 --> 00:03:14,052
I think I'll take you
shirt shopping myself.

72
00:03:14,078 --> 00:03:15,147
How about that?

73
00:03:15,173 --> 00:03:16,971
I might even pick up one or two shirts,

74
00:03:16,997 --> 00:03:18,612
just in case I end up taking this tour.

75
00:03:18,638 --> 00:03:20,931
Thanks, Dad. I want to
look as cool as you.

76
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,963
Still gonna wear the glasses, though?

77
00:03:22,989 --> 00:03:26,791
You're just jealous because the saxophone
is way cooler than the stupid cello.

78
00:03:26,817 --> 00:03:28,620
The cello is not stupid.

79
00:03:28,646 --> 00:03:30,724
And, Kim, there's nothing wrong
with your brother's glasses.

80
00:03:30,793 --> 00:03:32,659
That's right. Cut it out, you two.

81
00:03:32,685 --> 00:03:33,971
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

82
00:03:33,997 --> 00:03:36,122
And I only play the cello
because Dad wouldn't let me

83
00:03:36,148 --> 00:03:37,896
play the saxophone when I was your age.

84
00:03:37,922 --> 00:03:39,888
He said that's how girls get pregnant.

85
00:03:46,903 --> 00:03:51,622
www.subtitulamos.tv

86
00:03:55,435 --> 00:03:57,812
Music was my only chance to be cool

87
00:03:57,838 --> 00:04:01,263
because, let's be honest, I
wasn't cool in any other way.

88
00:04:03,275 --> 00:04:04,489
Hello.

89
00:04:04,620 --> 00:04:06,411
May I speak to John?

90
00:04:06,605 --> 00:04:08,329
There's no John here.

91
00:04:08,355 --> 00:04:10,325
Then do you pee outside?

92
00:04:11,306 --> 00:04:12,387
Dean?

93
00:04:12,778 --> 00:04:15,377
- Who's Dean?
- I know it's you.

94
00:04:15,403 --> 00:04:18,517
You use the same voice when we
imitate Mr. Roberts in art class.

95
00:04:18,586 --> 00:04:20,393
Remember? I taught it to you?

96
00:04:20,419 --> 00:04:23,442
- Because my voice is deeper than yours.
- No, it's not!

97
00:04:23,747 --> 00:04:25,548
I mean, who's Dean?

98
00:04:26,981 --> 00:04:29,338
Man, I told you that joke was no good.

99
00:04:29,364 --> 00:04:31,461
- Yeah, it was kind of a thinker.
- Yeah.

100
00:04:31,487 --> 00:04:32,779
Who's next?

101
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,821
Renita.

102
00:04:34,847 --> 00:04:36,809
- She's cute.
- Yeah.

103
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:40,682
Hello.

104
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:43,984
Can you tell me what kind
of tree fits in your hand?

105
00:04:45,067 --> 00:04:46,346
Is this Cory?

106
00:04:46,380 --> 00:04:48,034
You're so funny.

107
00:04:48,118 --> 00:04:50,842
Yeah, you know, I'm just making
these prank calls with Dean.

108
00:04:50,896 --> 00:04:51,862
Who?

109
00:04:51,931 --> 00:04:53,409
You know, Dean Williams.

110
00:04:53,435 --> 00:04:55,807
He got that big ol' afro
and he wear the glasses.

111
00:04:55,833 --> 00:04:58,455
- In seventh grade?
- Yes, he's in our grade.

112
00:04:58,481 --> 00:04:59,422
Dang!

113
00:04:59,448 --> 00:05:02,583
But thankfully there was
someplace where I was the man.

114
00:05:03,509 --> 00:05:05,755
People talk about the dog-eat-dog world

115
00:05:05,781 --> 00:05:08,088
of school sports, but let me tell you,

116
00:05:08,114 --> 00:05:10,752
the band room is
survival of the fittest,

117
00:05:10,778 --> 00:05:12,901
just like on the African savanna.

118
00:05:12,927 --> 00:05:15,206
Everyone is gunning for the alpha male,

119
00:05:15,232 --> 00:05:16,611
the top dog,

120
00:05:16,637 --> 00:05:18,499
the first chair.

121
00:05:21,507 --> 00:05:23,964
But no one would dare challenge me.

122
00:05:24,695 --> 00:05:26,761
That was, until today.

123
00:05:27,073 --> 00:05:28,446
What is it, Craig?

124
00:05:28,472 --> 00:05:32,446
I'd like to challenge
Dean for first chair.

125
00:05:32,705 --> 00:05:34,922
This white boy can't be serious.

126
00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:37,680
Sure, Craig, that is your
right as second chair.

127
00:05:37,706 --> 00:05:39,540
But, of course, we need to offer Dean

128
00:05:39,566 --> 00:05:41,753
one week to prepare for the challenge.

129
00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:42,948
Dean?

130
00:05:43,167 --> 00:05:45,450
No, I don't need it. I'm ready now.

131
00:05:45,476 --> 00:05:48,526
Unless, of course, Craig needs the time.

132
00:05:58,814 --> 00:06:01,241
Craig did not need more time.

133
00:06:02,934 --> 00:06:04,670
Fantastic, Craig!

134
00:06:05,607 --> 00:06:07,896
Looks like we have a new first chair.

135
00:06:09,827 --> 00:06:12,246
I mean, come on, man.

136
00:06:12,272 --> 00:06:14,762
All right. Let's take it from the top.

137
00:06:14,788 --> 00:06:18,068
As bad as it was to be dethroned
in such a public way,

138
00:06:18,256 --> 00:06:21,090
it was going to be much worse
going shirt shopping with my dad

139
00:06:21,116 --> 00:06:22,722
and breaking the news to him...

140
00:06:22,748 --> 00:06:24,519
the ultimate musical alpha male.

141
00:06:24,545 --> 00:06:27,620
Something like this is for when
you're performing on the big stage.

142
00:06:27,954 --> 00:06:30,959
And this is more subtle,
for like a smaller venue.

143
00:06:32,396 --> 00:06:33,623
But this...

144
00:06:33,900 --> 00:06:35,418
See how it shimmers?

145
00:06:35,491 --> 00:06:37,068
It's great for catching the light.

146
00:06:37,137 --> 00:06:38,785
Enough stalling, Dean.

147
00:06:38,811 --> 00:06:40,298
It's time to face the music.

148
00:06:40,324 --> 00:06:41,693
Pun intended.

149
00:06:42,092 --> 00:06:44,608
- Dad, today in band...
- Now these are show shirts.

150
00:06:45,815 --> 00:06:48,295
You could see me touring
in Birmingham, Tuscaloosa,

151
00:06:48,321 --> 00:06:49,993
and Mobile in this, right?

152
00:06:50,117 --> 00:06:51,255
Definitely.

153
00:06:51,378 --> 00:06:53,811
So, you know how I was first chair?

154
00:06:54,952 --> 00:06:56,694
Ruffles and sequins?

155
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,616
No good musician would
ever wear either of these.

156
00:06:59,764 --> 00:07:02,415
And that's how 20 years of music passed

157
00:07:02,441 --> 00:07:03,441
right over my dad.

158
00:07:03,467 --> 00:07:05,925
So, something crazy happened
in band today and...

159
00:07:05,951 --> 00:07:07,235
This is it.

160
00:07:07,677 --> 00:07:09,287
It screams "Dean."

161
00:07:09,973 --> 00:07:11,991
Yep. Perfect.

162
00:07:13,717 --> 00:07:16,426
I'm getting this for my son
to perform a sax solo...

163
00:07:16,452 --> 00:07:17,652
at the State Fair.

164
00:07:17,678 --> 00:07:20,441
Well, that sounds exciting. Good luck.

165
00:07:20,467 --> 00:07:22,213
Imagine the lights shining down on you,

166
00:07:22,239 --> 00:07:24,142
- playing your solo...
- I'm second chair.

167
00:07:26,346 --> 00:07:27,959
I lost first chair.

168
00:07:28,838 --> 00:07:31,155
I don't understand. What are you saying?

169
00:07:31,181 --> 00:07:32,284
Well...

170
00:07:32,475 --> 00:07:34,193
Craig challenged me for first chair,

171
00:07:34,219 --> 00:07:35,881
and he just played so well.

172
00:07:35,907 --> 00:07:38,148
It was... surprising.

173
00:07:38,825 --> 00:07:40,061
"Craig"?

174
00:07:40,623 --> 00:07:41,897
Sounds...

175
00:07:42,483 --> 00:07:44,584
- Is he...?
- White? Yeah.

176
00:07:44,626 --> 00:07:45,850
Go figure.

177
00:07:46,878 --> 00:07:48,225
You know what?

178
00:07:48,436 --> 00:07:49,670
It's okay.

179
00:07:49,758 --> 00:07:51,241
I got you covered.

180
00:07:51,655 --> 00:07:54,620
I'll put together a practice schedule and
we'll make sure you're able to challenge

181
00:07:54,654 --> 00:07:56,991
to get your chair back
in time for the concert.

182
00:07:58,477 --> 00:08:00,225
We won't be taking this.

183
00:08:01,242 --> 00:08:03,242
What? This is a solo shirt.

184
00:08:03,268 --> 00:08:05,975
Not a "cat sitting next to the
cat with the solo" shirt.

185
00:08:06,413 --> 00:08:09,172
In the meantime, I'll be taking these.

186
00:08:09,483 --> 00:08:11,038
You can put this back.

187
00:08:18,741 --> 00:08:21,996
Whenever I saw my dad's shadow
outside my bedroom door,

188
00:08:22,022 --> 00:08:24,097
I knew I needed to play perfectly.

189
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,183
If I made a mistake, he'd come inside,

190
00:08:26,209 --> 00:08:28,493
and that meant another hour
of practice without a break.

191
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:30,967
It was like BlackGroundhog's Day.

192
00:08:31,873 --> 00:08:33,781
Now, I know you can
play better than that.

193
00:08:34,022 --> 00:08:36,264
What do you mean? I hit every note.

194
00:08:36,290 --> 00:08:37,920
You sounded like you were sitting wrong.

195
00:08:37,946 --> 00:08:40,373
- Sitting wrong?
- Here, let me see.

196
00:08:47,981 --> 00:08:51,464
It's as if Jesus came
back as a saxophone.

197
00:09:01,008 --> 00:09:02,932
I thought I recognized that sound.

198
00:09:03,879 --> 00:09:07,137
How long are you gonna be
away on this tour, again?

199
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:13,012
Keep practicing till
it sounds like that.

200
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:37,720
Get out.

201
00:09:37,746 --> 00:09:39,618
Why do you get to relax
and do whatever you want

202
00:09:39,659 --> 00:09:42,636
while I have to sit and practice all night?
It's not fair.

203
00:09:43,128 --> 00:09:44,645
Hold on a second.

204
00:09:45,254 --> 00:09:47,628
Why do you think I
really play the cello?

205
00:09:48,395 --> 00:09:50,326
'Cause Dad can't play
anything with a bow.

206
00:09:50,395 --> 00:09:52,127
You're the dummy that
wanted to be like him,

207
00:09:52,153 --> 00:09:54,081
and now you're paying the price.

208
00:09:57,234 --> 00:10:00,034
Girl, it was nothing. I thought
I heard a dog outside.

209
00:10:02,730 --> 00:10:05,719
After practicing for what
felt like the entire night,

210
00:10:05,745 --> 00:10:08,282
I was finally ready to
return to my rightful place

211
00:10:08,308 --> 00:10:09,429
as first chair.

212
00:10:09,473 --> 00:10:11,401
Craig won't know what hit him.

213
00:10:11,644 --> 00:10:13,136
What is it, Teddy?

214
00:10:13,323 --> 00:10:16,481
I'd like to challenge Dean
for second chair, please.

215
00:10:16,507 --> 00:10:17,852
What the...?

216
00:10:18,875 --> 00:10:22,557
There was blood in the water, and
everybody in the savanna knew it.

217
00:10:41,705 --> 00:10:43,380
Et tu, Cory?

218
00:10:43,638 --> 00:10:45,636
I couldn't believe it at the time,

219
00:10:45,705 --> 00:10:48,786
but in hindsight, he'd have
been a fool not to do it.

220
00:10:51,877 --> 00:10:53,981
Being bumped to fourth
chair was the worst thing

221
00:10:54,007 --> 00:10:55,765
that ever happened to me in here.

222
00:10:55,877 --> 00:10:57,946
Band Room Dean was so humiliated

223
00:10:58,015 --> 00:11:00,395
that Gym Class Dean felt sorry for him.

224
00:11:02,156 --> 00:11:03,551
You really choked.

225
00:11:03,814 --> 00:11:06,507
Luckily, I'm the only
trombone player in the band.

226
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:08,005
No challenges.

227
00:11:09,356 --> 00:11:12,257
Hey, Dean. Are you okay?

228
00:11:12,419 --> 00:11:13,966
I-I guess.

229
00:11:14,231 --> 00:11:17,050
Won't Charlene be mad if she
knows you're talking to me?

230
00:11:17,119 --> 00:11:18,925
No. She has a new boyfriend now,

231
00:11:18,951 --> 00:11:20,710
so she doesn't care anymore.

232
00:11:21,255 --> 00:11:22,768
Glad she doesn't still hate me.

233
00:11:22,837 --> 00:11:24,955
No, she still hates you.

234
00:11:24,981 --> 00:11:27,168
It's actually what she and
her boyfriend bonded over.

235
00:11:27,194 --> 00:11:29,436
- He hates me, too?
- Don't overthink it.

236
00:11:29,622 --> 00:11:31,979
A bunch of us are gonna ride
to the Fair on Fair Day.

237
00:11:32,005 --> 00:11:34,575
- So you want to come...
- Yes! Yes.

238
00:11:35,544 --> 00:11:38,721
Since you really want
to be my friend again.

239
00:11:38,747 --> 00:11:41,159
You mean because you
just looked so pitiful

240
00:11:41,185 --> 00:11:42,666
after choking in band

241
00:11:42,692 --> 00:11:44,705
that I thought you could
really use a friend?

242
00:11:44,774 --> 00:11:48,474
The fact that she was right
made me feel even more pitiful.

243
00:11:48,601 --> 00:11:50,971
I would've played the
"wah-wah" right now

244
00:11:50,997 --> 00:11:52,917
if I thought I could
do it without choking.

245
00:11:52,943 --> 00:11:55,028
And if I played the trombone.

246
00:11:58,601 --> 00:11:59,903
Dean!

247
00:12:02,084 --> 00:12:03,263
Sir?

248
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:05,573
Boy, get out here and say hello!
We got company!

249
00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:07,659
Back then, grown folks always

250
00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:09,247
made kids come out and say hi

251
00:12:09,273 --> 00:12:11,410
to anybody that came over.
- What's up, man?

252
00:12:11,825 --> 00:12:13,877
Why ain't we rehearsing at the studio?

253
00:12:14,030 --> 00:12:15,479
Put it against the tour money.

254
00:12:15,505 --> 00:12:18,099
Just 'cause we're making more money
doesn't mean we need to spend more money.

255
00:12:18,125 --> 00:12:21,260
Dean, don't you think your daddy
would look good in one of these?

256
00:12:21,286 --> 00:12:23,935
Washboard, I told you,
the car I have drives fine.

257
00:12:23,961 --> 00:12:26,419
Fine for Montgomery.
Not "go on tour" fine.

258
00:12:26,445 --> 00:12:29,138
That's the same thing he tried
to convince me about my wife.

259
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,138
All right, fellas, time to practice.

260
00:12:34,058 --> 00:12:35,610
You coming, little man?

261
00:12:35,636 --> 00:12:38,263
Wouldn't be the same down there
without you watching us jam.

262
00:12:38,289 --> 00:12:41,680
I-I can't. My dad's
making me practice more.

263
00:12:42,255 --> 00:12:44,170
I, lost first chair in band.

264
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:46,119
Well, he's kinda right.

265
00:12:46,188 --> 00:12:48,068
You won't get good without practice,

266
00:12:48,094 --> 00:12:49,811
practice, and more practice.

267
00:12:49,837 --> 00:12:51,858
Is that how you got
so good at the piano?

268
00:12:51,884 --> 00:12:54,444
Nah. Music always came real easy to me.

269
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:56,298
Just took to it.

270
00:12:57,593 --> 00:12:58,827
Sorry.

271
00:12:59,188 --> 00:13:02,370
But, hey, don't feel bad. Nothing
wrong with second chair.

272
00:13:02,396 --> 00:13:03,396
Fourth.

273
00:13:03,422 --> 00:13:04,430
What?!

274
00:13:04,456 --> 00:13:06,602
Yeah, today, I...

275
00:13:06,976 --> 00:13:10,157
got bumped to fourth chair, and
I haven't told my dad yet.

276
00:13:11,358 --> 00:13:12,530
Damn!

277
00:13:12,739 --> 00:13:14,492
I'm going to miss you, Dean.

278
00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:17,201
Sorry, again.

279
00:13:17,227 --> 00:13:18,584
But you know something?

280
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:21,186
Your old man might just surprise you.

281
00:13:21,212 --> 00:13:23,544
I bet he'll actually respect you

282
00:13:23,570 --> 00:13:25,363
for being honest about what happened.

283
00:13:25,415 --> 00:13:26,936
And trust me on this...

284
00:13:26,962 --> 00:13:29,146
your dad ain't all that scary.

285
00:13:29,172 --> 00:13:31,087
Washboard, get down here!

286
00:13:31,884 --> 00:13:33,265
Coming!

287
00:13:33,798 --> 00:13:35,662
Washboard was right.

288
00:13:35,688 --> 00:13:38,272
It was time for me to talk
to my father, man to man.

289
00:13:38,298 --> 00:13:41,087
After all, musicians
understand these things.

290
00:13:41,257 --> 00:13:42,920
I do not understand.

291
00:13:42,946 --> 00:13:45,725
That has never happened to anyone
I've ever known. Fourth chair?

292
00:13:45,790 --> 00:13:47,412
You might as well play
from the parking lot!

293
00:13:47,438 --> 00:13:50,031
I wasn't expecting so many challenges.
I choked.

294
00:13:50,057 --> 00:13:51,471
I'm disappointed in you, Dean.

295
00:13:51,563 --> 00:13:54,014
Those were the words I dreaded the most.

296
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,719
I'd rather he just spank me.

297
00:13:55,753 --> 00:13:58,873
If you're choking at school, how ever are you gonna
play in front of all those people at the Fair?

298
00:13:58,899 --> 00:14:01,076
I do not want to hear any more excuses.

299
00:14:01,102 --> 00:14:02,795
Tomorrow, after school, you
come straight to my office

300
00:14:02,821 --> 00:14:04,412
so we can go through this
piece, note by note.

301
00:14:04,438 --> 00:14:06,478
But tomorrow's Fair Day. I'm
supposed to meet my friends.

302
00:14:06,533 --> 00:14:07,916
Well, you can forget about that.

303
00:14:07,942 --> 00:14:09,287
The concert's the next day.

304
00:14:09,313 --> 00:14:12,144
Is riding a bunch of dumb rides
gonna help you play a packed house?

305
00:14:12,170 --> 00:14:13,430
Bill!

306
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:19,485
All right, just have your narrow
behind in my office by 4:00.

307
00:14:32,712 --> 00:14:34,391
That's a long line.

308
00:14:34,533 --> 00:14:36,397
How long do you guys think it'll take?

309
00:14:36,423 --> 00:14:38,771
At least an hour. Maybe more.

310
00:14:38,797 --> 00:14:40,841
I'm not leaving until I ride it.

311
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:43,986
I do got to meet my dad at
his office pretty soon.

312
00:14:44,274 --> 00:14:46,803
Can't you skip practice...
just this once?

313
00:14:46,829 --> 00:14:48,951
No, he definitely needs to practice.

314
00:14:48,977 --> 00:14:52,040
I mean, I played better than
him, and I'm terrible, right?

315
00:14:52,423 --> 00:14:54,503
But I'm too scared to ride by myself.

316
00:14:54,536 --> 00:14:56,142
Won't you ride with me?

317
00:14:56,555 --> 00:14:58,177
My dad was gonna kill me,

318
00:14:58,203 --> 00:15:01,180
but at least I'd have a smile
on my face in my coffin.

319
00:15:05,219 --> 00:15:06,756
I missed Daddy's time window,

320
00:15:06,782 --> 00:15:09,024
so I thought it best to
have Mama walk me in.

321
00:15:09,126 --> 00:15:11,756
I needed as many crime scene
witnesses as possible.

322
00:15:11,782 --> 00:15:13,050
You okay?

323
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:14,759
I guess.

324
00:15:16,526 --> 00:15:19,461
How did Dad react when
Bruce quit playing music?

325
00:15:20,530 --> 00:15:22,368
Is that what you want to do?

326
00:15:23,292 --> 00:15:26,850
Well, what happened? You were
so excited about the solo

327
00:15:26,876 --> 00:15:28,490
and the shirt and everything.

328
00:15:28,516 --> 00:15:32,071
I just know that what I'm
doing isn't working,

329
00:15:32,791 --> 00:15:35,055
and Dad doesn't want any more excuses.

330
00:15:49,725 --> 00:15:51,603
Okay, that's not bad.

331
00:15:51,629 --> 00:15:53,077
You're definitely improving.

332
00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:54,499
I'm sorry.

333
00:15:54,577 --> 00:15:56,863
I know you wanted me to be
better prepared for today, but,

334
00:15:56,889 --> 00:15:58,926
I haven't had much time to practice.

335
00:15:58,952 --> 00:16:00,395
Don't be so hard on yourself.

336
00:16:00,834 --> 00:16:02,877
Why don't we work on something easier.

337
00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:06,803
I guess up until that point,
I'd always assumed my dad

338
00:16:06,829 --> 00:16:08,975
couldn't help but be
hard on me all the time.

339
00:16:09,014 --> 00:16:11,465
But now I was seeing
that it was a choice...

340
00:16:11,491 --> 00:16:13,698
a choice that was making me miserable,

341
00:16:13,724 --> 00:16:15,172
and I just didn't get it.

342
00:16:15,198 --> 00:16:16,373
Why?

343
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,305
Hey, honey.

344
00:16:29,331 --> 00:16:31,873
I thought you were bringing
Dean by my office to practice.

345
00:16:32,693 --> 00:16:33,900
Did something happen?

346
00:16:34,069 --> 00:16:35,482
Well, not exactly.

347
00:16:36,030 --> 00:16:37,196
Then where is he?

348
00:16:37,237 --> 00:16:39,522
He's in his room, waiting
on you to come home.

349
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:42,768
But I just want to say,
before you go back there,

350
00:16:42,858 --> 00:16:45,108
you might not want to be so hard on him.

351
00:16:45,248 --> 00:16:47,241
Why does everyone think I'm hard on him?

352
00:16:47,459 --> 00:16:49,444
I'm no harder on him than
my father was on me.

353
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:50,987
I push him because I care.

354
00:16:51,147 --> 00:16:54,105
The boy needs to toughen up, if he's ever
gonna play in front of big audiences.

355
00:16:54,131 --> 00:16:56,584
Has Dean said that's
what he wants to do?

356
00:16:57,069 --> 00:16:59,959
Has he ever had the choice not to play?

357
00:17:02,717 --> 00:17:04,821
Well, I assume that's
what he wants to do.

358
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,834
Eventually. What else would he want?

359
00:17:07,147 --> 00:17:09,620
If he's not playing professionally,
then it's just a waste of talent.

360
00:17:09,689 --> 00:17:11,756
Well, let's just remember he's 12.

361
00:17:11,913 --> 00:17:14,733
More excuses. When I was 12, I was 20.

362
00:17:14,991 --> 00:17:17,785
Have you ever thought that
maybe your frustration

363
00:17:17,811 --> 00:17:20,264
about Dean wasting his talent is

364
00:17:20,295 --> 00:17:23,936
because you feel like you
might be wasting yours?

365
00:17:24,192 --> 00:17:25,382
What?

366
00:17:25,975 --> 00:17:29,000
No. This isn't about me.
This is about Dean.

367
00:17:29,069 --> 00:17:30,248
Of course.

368
00:17:30,274 --> 00:17:32,246
But I think a part of you already knows

369
00:17:32,272 --> 00:17:33,980
that you don't want to take that tour

370
00:17:34,006 --> 00:17:35,724
because you want tenure.

371
00:17:35,793 --> 00:17:37,103
And maybe,

372
00:17:37,172 --> 00:17:39,764
maybe, that's what's
really frustrating you.

373
00:17:39,790 --> 00:17:42,530
Of course I'm frustrated. The
band's gonna be devastated.

374
00:17:42,612 --> 00:17:44,353
But I can't risk losing tenure.

375
00:17:44,379 --> 00:17:47,045
The stability that comes
with it, the benefits...

376
00:17:47,185 --> 00:17:49,012
It's too important to our family.

377
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,694
But that doesn't mean I'm
taking it out on Dean.

378
00:17:55,972 --> 00:17:57,139
Or does it?

379
00:17:57,912 --> 00:17:59,373
Maybe. I don't know.

380
00:18:01,724 --> 00:18:03,275
Well, I hope you know that

381
00:18:03,344 --> 00:18:06,623
we really appreciate your sacrifices.

382
00:18:07,478 --> 00:18:10,717
I really appreciate your sacrifices.

383
00:18:14,172 --> 00:18:15,920
Maybe I should go have a talk with him.

384
00:18:28,019 --> 00:18:29,047
I know.

385
00:18:29,459 --> 00:18:30,922
You're mad at me.

386
00:18:36,063 --> 00:18:37,353
I was.

387
00:18:37,983 --> 00:18:39,705
But that's not why I'm here now.

388
00:18:40,419 --> 00:18:41,915
You ready for tomorrow?

389
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,806
I'll go get my sax and practice.

390
00:18:44,974 --> 00:18:47,267
Who said anything about a saxophone?

391
00:18:52,525 --> 00:18:54,137
A nice-sized crowd showed up

392
00:18:54,206 --> 00:18:56,212
for the school's band performance.

393
00:18:59,551 --> 00:19:01,400
But it didn't much matter to me.

394
00:19:01,551 --> 00:19:04,227
Instead of sitting in that
band chair, terrified,

395
00:19:04,253 --> 00:19:06,728
I was terrified for another reason.

396
00:19:09,806 --> 00:19:13,172
Turns out, my dad had decided
to stop being my teacher

397
00:19:13,241 --> 00:19:14,744
and just be my dad.

398
00:19:14,772 --> 00:19:16,196
Here we go!

399
00:19:28,006 --> 00:19:29,290
All right!

400
00:19:30,289 --> 00:19:32,546
It wasn't until I was a father myself

401
00:19:32,572 --> 00:19:35,344
that I learned that sometimes
what's best for your kids

402
00:19:35,413 --> 00:19:37,249
is for you to step out of the way.

403
00:19:37,275 --> 00:19:40,001
Private lessons usually
last about an hour.

404
00:19:40,027 --> 00:19:41,525
All right.

405
00:19:42,059 --> 00:19:43,784
That was tough on my dad.

406
00:19:43,931 --> 00:19:46,801
So was telling his band that
they weren't going on tour.

407
00:19:46,827 --> 00:19:48,758
Look, guys, I-I'm sorry.
I just can't do it.

408
00:19:48,827 --> 00:19:51,046
- What you mean, you can't do it?
- I can't do it.

409
00:19:51,072 --> 00:19:52,620
- Hey, Washboard...
- Washboard, where are you going?

410
00:19:52,689 --> 00:19:54,392
- Where are you going?
- Hey, man...

411
00:19:55,556 --> 00:19:57,758
Thankfully, my dad could still focus

412
00:19:57,784 --> 00:19:59,896
on teaching his actual students.

413
00:19:59,965 --> 00:20:02,462
And he was damn good with them.

414
00:20:10,754 --> 00:20:13,344
And it turns out I wasn't
the only one in school band

415
00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:15,103
who struggled under pressure.

416
00:20:18,661 --> 00:20:21,653
That's just something you have to
learn to deal with in your own way.

417
00:20:21,934 --> 00:20:23,947
But what I appreciate most

418
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:26,724
is that Daddy left the choice
of sticking with music,

419
00:20:26,793 --> 00:20:28,614
or not, up to me.

420
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,184
Which is why I still play today.

421
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,645
Yep, still got it.

422
00:20:41,793 --> 00:20:52,481
