Zoe and I had started a band
a few months before
when we got tired of hearing
everyone else's sucky music.
We decided to create
our own special brand of suck.
We actually weren't that bad,
although Zoe began to take it a bit more
seriously than I had ever intended.
We're Mommy's Little Whore!
And our drummer
was a total disaster.
Thank you! Good night.
So, of course,
I had to date him.
Because he wasn't just
a bad drummer.
Hey, you looked
really hot tonight.
He was a real firestorm
of stimulating conversation.
Mary? Mary?
Little Mary McCrawley?
Thanks for the
compliment. Do I know you?
I'm Joey Lucas
from Hoboken, New Jersey.
I was your old neighbor.
Friend of your parents?
The last time I had seen Joey
Lucas of Hoboken, New Jersey,
was the day he left forever.
This was a historic pattern
in Hoboken,
and Joey Lucas,
like Frank Sinatra before him,
joined a long list of Hobokians
who left and never returned.
My own father was on that list.
He left my mother and me
when I was a year old,
and he never returned.
My mother, on the other hand,
never went anywhere else.
Remember?
Oh, it doesn't matter.
Anyway... two days ago,
I see your name on a flyer,
and I think, you know, it can't be.
I mean, what are the odds?
So... I just thought I'd come
by and see the band and you, and...
- You... you were awesome.
- Yeah, yeah. That's right.
I remember.
I totally saw you, dude.
I thought you were
like a manager or...
That's my card,
if you ever want to...
you know, have dinner
or... catch up.
Sounds great.
I'll call you tomorrow.
I know a really nice place.
It's on First and Third.
- Now? Great.
