Speaker 1: of Nicki Fix. But first, a quick word from our sponsor,

5

Speaker 1: call me end stage summer rains kind of like this place,

9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: huh on its last legs, then we'll get it back

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: on track. Will he losing the money from the Save

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: the Rink show really set him back? And the community

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: won't rally around him again if they think he squandered

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: their charity the first time? What else was he supposed

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: to do? Send Leonard to jail? Maybe maybe not. But

15
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't see Leonard of repaying that very very big favor.

16
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: And I don't see the only other person who knows

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: what really happened doing anything about it either. I'm not

18
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: doing nothing. I have a plan and it might take

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,839
Speaker 1: a minute, but I'm on my way to something big here.

20
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm making a name for myself. Sure you're making a name,

21
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: but not for yourself. I hate to break it to you, kiddo,

22
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: but you don't own Summer Reins. She owns you. Hello

23
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: Millennium rank, Mrs Bensby King. Hello, this is Manny with

24
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: dirt striking Founders. I'm growling to distract you while my

25
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: men remove me on game machines from your dabling men.

26
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: Famillion to bag. What's no? Wait a second, man, You

00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: be back to reposition? No wait, just listen. I thought

29
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I had till Thursday, but I had till Thursday. Yeah,

30
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: Hello skaters, thanks for coming out today to SKA. There's

31
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: some updates. The arcade area will be closed until further notice.

32
00:02:47,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: Space used to be cool. Rink looks worse than when

33
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: you hung out here, emptier, quieter. Look at Ben over there.

34
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: He's losing everything. So why are you dodging? Bobby and

35
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: liamb you should know, But I'm not the one who

36
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: needs to say it. I'm about to be famous. Did

37
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you see that reaction at the mall? They love me,

38
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: they love my music, and Bobby and Liam can't see

39
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: why that's important. I totally have a handle on everything

40
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: here and they don't want to be a part of it,

41
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: which is fine. They don't owe me anything. But if

42
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: they don't see where I can take this thing, if

43
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: they don't have faith in me to fix everything, as

44
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: soon as I do my big concert at star Land,

45
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I'll have enough money to give back to the rink

46
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: and everything will be okay, right afraid not, because it's

47
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: not your money and it's never going to be you,

48
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: Nikki want to save this place. But it's Summer's money,

49
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Summer's fame, Summer's music, and Summer is a product of

50
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Dante Diamond Productions Incorporated. Dante is going to use you

51
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: like his own personal piggy bank, and when you try

52
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: to go off on your own, he'll lock you away

53
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: in a conservatorship for the rest of your life. No,

54
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I won't let it happen. It's already happening. Your songs

55
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: making a ton of money, right, Well, how come you

56
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: haven't seen any of it? How come you only get

57
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: a small allowance every week. It's not enough to give

58
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: to Ben, It's barely enough to buy a sandwich. So

59
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: none of it is going to the Rank. And that

60
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: was the point of all this, right to save the

61
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Rank I have I d problems. You should know that. Yep,

62
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: that's the excuse. I told myself too. But have you

63
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: looked at the books? Who is your money going to? Exactly?

64
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: It's not all about the money. It's about the music.

65
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some amazing albums. You won't. I will,

66
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: all right, test Dante out. If you don't believe me,

67
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: ask him about your B side. He'll say, you up

68
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: too much to do right now to get your brand

69
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: in place. You'll promise you'll record it next year when

70
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: all this settles down. Well, guess what, Nikki, it never happens.

71
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Just because it never happened for you doesn't mean it'll

72
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: be the same for me. I know what's coming, so

73
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: that means I can change it. I won't become you.

74
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: I am you, Nicky, No you're not, You're you. Things

75
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: will be different for me. He'll let me do the song.

76
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead and ask him. I'll tell you what his

77
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: exact words will be next year. Promise you can't ask

78
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: me to stop following my dreams. They don't come true,

79
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 1: not in the way you think they will. Yeah, please

80
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: don't come looking for me again, Oh Nikki. Welcome back

81
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: to All Out Request Live. All right, this thing is

Speaker 1: I understand you've got a big surprise for us here today.

00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: That's right, all right, Well, without any further ado, here

105
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it's that B side we talked about. I want to

106
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: do something a little different for my fans, and why

107
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: miss the chance to debut it on live TV. You

108
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: don't do different. No one wants different. We don't get

110
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,200

111
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: for your career. Who's hustling back here on the phone

112
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: three times a day on your behalf Me who has

113
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: all his own money tied into your big concert me,

114
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: and who's killing himself trying to get this whole Summer

115
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: Rains thing off the ground? Me? And you want to

116
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: flush it all down the toilet because you thought you'd

117
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: do something a little different for the fans. The fans

118
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: want what they know. I thought they'd like it. Don't

119
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: ever do that again. We stick with the plan, you,

120
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: stage manager. We're sticking with the plan. We're doing roll

121
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: with it. Got it back in five four three? All right,

122
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: we are back and after a commercial break. You had

123
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: to be here to believe now the woman you've all

124
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: been waiting for with her new hit single, It's summarize,

125
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm not a place all out, It's time. Well everyone

126
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: thinks I'm just fine? Who am madest? Sing this song?

127
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Where I probably got from every tap feels like the

128
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: w as I watched the Wild Go fine. That don't matter,

129
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: not one because I'm going to will with you. That

130
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: was amazing. You were perfect. Didn't that feel good? Yeah?

131
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: I guess see. It's exactly the right move at the

132
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: right time. This stuff is all really complicated, and you

133
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: need to be thinking about nailing your performances. That makes sense.

134
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here for. Trust me on this stuff.

135
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Everything's going to work out just the way it's supposed to.

136
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: You know. I was thinking it might be nice after

137
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: the concert to get into the studio soon and record

138
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: my other songs. Maybe take a break from touring for

139
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: a little while. You can't take a break. Now you're

140
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: finally starting to get real traction. We're moving up from

141
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: malls to real venues. It's just getting a little exhausting

142
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: for me to keep doing the same thing over and

143
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: over again. I mean, I keep on giving the same

144
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: interviews to everyone and tv v H one ruling Stone.

145
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. You sound great.

146
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: Just stick to the media training I gave you. Everyone's

147
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: going to start to think I'm just this one style.

148
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: There are so many other sounds I want to be exploring. Nikki.

149
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: This is the best thing for us to do right now.

150
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: You have to get your foot in the door first,

151
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: we both do. Once we're established forces in this industry,

152
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 1: people to be reckoned with, then we can chart our

153
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: own course. Okay, but now is not the time. Now

154
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: we stick with what works. I don't want to be

155
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: a one hit wonder. You won't be. But we've got

156
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: to squeeze everything we can out of this moment while

157
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: it's still got the sauce. Then you'll have the whole

158
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: rest of your life to explore whatever sounds you want. Okay, yeah,

159
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: but trust me. But Dante, I want to do my

160
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 1: B sides next year, Nikki, I promise that that's what

161
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: I've got to take this Julian talk to me, babe,

162
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: m h, who is it? Room service? I didn't order

163
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: any room service, I said, I didn't order room service.

164
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: You have the wrong room. Okay, I didn't order it's me.

165
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: Let me in, Bobby. Hey, Nikki, Hey, you look surprised

166
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: to see me. No, I'm glad to see you. I

167
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: just how did you find me here? I'm not listed older.

168
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: You told me what hotel you'd be in after the

169
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: TV game, and then I figured you might have checked

170
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: in as nicky fix. Fans can be insane when they

171
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: want an autograph. You know how it is. I don't

172
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: actually in our time. It's all about selfie's remember, um,

173
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: aren't you gonna invite me in? Yeah? Of course, please

174
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: come in. Sorry if it's a little messy the rock

175
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: star lifestyle huh yep, And no Dad and Papa to have

176
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: have forced me to pick up after myself. Can I

177
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: get you anything? This hotel makes a bomb chicken cord

178
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: on blue. I'm good. You're probably mad at me that

179
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: I did You guys up at the mall, huh, but

180
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: that was an honest mistake. I meant to meet you,

181
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: but I got swamped with autograph hounds and I signed

182
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: all this stuff for them, and my handler swooped me

183
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: away to the car, and well, the time just got

184
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: away from me. Time. You have no idea how crazy

185
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: my schedule is, Nikki you're my best friend. Please do

186
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: not lie to my face. But it's true. I know

187
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: you talked to your grown up self, okay, and she

188
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: made some points about Dante that might be right, But

189
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: I still think I can fix this whole thing. You're

190
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: being really selfish, Nikki. I'm being ambitious and it's gonna

191
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: pay off. I promise I won't make the same mistakes

192
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: with my life that other older sad Nicky made. Now

193
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: that I know what Dante is like and what he's planning,

194
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: I can avoid it. No, I am not here to

195
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: talk about how you can stay here. I'm here for

196
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the rest of us. I've always stood behind whatever you

197
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: wanted to do, Nikki, but not this time. If you

198
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: stay now, things go really bad for all of us.

199
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: Don't you realize that all your friends Dante becomes a monster,

200
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Ben goes nuts. Your parents aren't together. I'm not gonna

201
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: have a sibling and Liam. Liam doesn't even exist anymore,

202
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: and neither do you because there is no Papa and

203
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: dad to adopt you. You have to do the right thing.

204
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: Let's you and I go back to the rink, play

205
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the guitar, and go home. But what if this is

206
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: my only shot at my dreams ever coming true. Everything's

207
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: starting to take off for me here everything we've ever

208
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: talked about. Then, I guess you have a choice. You

209
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: can make your dreams come true in the nineties while

210
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: the rest of us suffer, or you can let go

211
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: of your dreams and save all our lives. How is

212
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: this even a question for you? Because I'm going for

213
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: the third option, the one you conveniently left out, that

214
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: I become a big enough star here and save the

215
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: future for everyone. Nikki, you strand me and Liam back

216
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: here for your own sake. No, I'll play and open

217
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: the portal again, and you'll both go home, and I'll

218
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: stay again. I've been learning a lot from Liam about

219
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: time travel tropes, and you know that we have to

220
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: fix something for that to happen. And if you stay here,

221
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee that the future we land in won't

222
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: be just as messed up. I can do it. You

223
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: have no idea how much people love me here. I

224
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: can make all our dreams come true. Why can't you

225
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: believe in me? All Right? This was a big waste.

226
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know you anymore. I'll let you get

227
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: back to being famous. Hey, can I give you some

228
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: backstage passes from my show tomorrow. Come see me play

229
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: for real. Come see why it's important to me. Besties, No, thanks,

230
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think I want to be your bestie anymore. Goodbye, Nikki,

231
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: enjoy the endless summer? Hey? Hey, how did it go?

232
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: She wouldn't listen to you either. She's like a totally

233
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: different person. I don't recognize her. She's you're so fake? Yeah,

234
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: I remember that. Sorry, it's hopeless. I just I gotta

235
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: get some there. I'll go check on her. Okay, what

236
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: happens if we can't convince Nikki to come with us?

237
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, she won't listen to me, She won't even

238
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: listen to herself. What chance do we have, Liam? What

239
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: if we really can't ever get back? I don't know.

240
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: Are you supposed to just waited out for the next

241
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: thirty years and try not to bump into ourselves once

242
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: we're born? And then what? Well, at least it won't

243
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: be a problem for me. I never existed in this timeline,

244
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: so I'm free to go wherever I want, maybe Greece.

245
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: This is no time to joke. If not, now, when

246
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: how are you so calm? I don't know? I guess

247
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: it's easier to be calm when you're not really real.

248
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 1: You're real, I'm not so sure about that. I've been

249
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: thinking a lot about time paradox is recently, and I'm

250
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: pretty sure that I fall into some weird limital ontological category.

251
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: You might be talking to me right now, but I

252
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: don't think I actually am real any meaningful sense. Who

253
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: knows how much longer I'll even be here anyway before

254
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: I start to fade again. I don't know how to

255
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: puzzle through the metaphysics of time paradox but there is

256
00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: one thing I know for sure. What's that You can't

257
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: kiss someone who isn't real. WHOA guess you're real? Then? Hey,

00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't think this one will amount to anything. I'm

266
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: too distracted, Listen. I have a lot to apologize for.

267
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: I did a lot of stuff I regret, and you

268
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: paid the price for a lot of it. From what

269
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I understand, you've already paid for your mistakes many times over.

270
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to call you? By the way,

271
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: Nikki is fine? Just Nikki. Is that it over there?

272
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: The guitar? Yeah, but I haven't really been inspired to

273
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: work on it since I first met younger you. It's

274
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: just been gathering dust for the past year. Well, whenever

275
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: you get around to finishing it, you're gonna need some strings. Huh.

276
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: You know how to make guitar strings. You'd be surprised

277
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: the amounts of crafts I've learned. Long travel days, hours

278
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: and hotel rooms watching YouTube, no real friends. I've had

279
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: to keep myself entertained. Seven gauge. Right, I'll start winding

280
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: and you can start working on that guitar. Deal. I

281
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: want hard hands on one. And as soon as she

282
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: hits her mark, then we cue the laser. You got

283
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: that summer, We're ready to light you for the rain effect.

284
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Go to five. Please can we just hold up for

285
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: a second. You know, Dante, I was actually thinking of

286
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: something a little different here. Can I talk it out

287
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: with you? I was thinking, since we're coming off of

288
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: three fast paced songs in a row, that now would

289
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: be a good time to pull out something a little slower,

290
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: like a ballad. I've been working on something that I

291
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: like a lot. It's about feeling displaced, a little acoustic melody.

292
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: It doesn't work for me. Back to five please, Dante.

293
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: We have a lot to do right now, summer, and

294
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: there's no time for the histrionics. Okay, so please act

295
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: like a professional and not like a kid off the street.

296
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: Drop dead Dante s Summer, get back to you right now, Summer.

297
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: Hello Millennium Rank Ben speaking, Hi Ben, This isn't NICKI

Speaker 1: It's you come in quickly, all right? All right? That

303
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: crowd is getting riled up. Maybe this is a sign

304
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: that I'm supposed to stay. Now that I'm hearing them

305
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: all out there like this, I'm not sure leaving is

306
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: the best idea. I mean, how do I walk away

307
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: from this? It's going to be hard. Fame can be addictive.

308
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: Maybe I just play the show and then we get

309
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: him on the next slip around right, I don't know

310
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: how many rounds left there are here. Sorry to change

311
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: my mind again, but I don't think I have the courage.

312
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: I guess I called you here for nothing. Don't judge? Okay,

313
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: who am I to judge? Maybe there's no escaping destiny

314
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: and this is it. Maybe I can't make myself earned

315
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: the lesson until it's too late, no matter how hard

316
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: I try. Hey, what's this in your notebook? Oh that's

317
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: just a new song I've been working on. But I'm

318
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: stuck on the bridge. Oh yeah, I remember this. I

319
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: never did finish it. I'm not sure what it's trying

320
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: to say. I want to work on it together. Hold on?

321
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: It is that? Yep? The rink guitar. I never played

322
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: it again after I sent Bobby and Lee him back

323
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: the first time. But I take it everywhere I remember.

324
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: Keep it close. It has a tendency to grow legs.

325
00:24:47,800 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: You want to play it? Sure it's in tune? Me?

326
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: Who am I supposed to be? Now? I can't find

327
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: find the forest through the trees, lost in time? Can

328
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: you help me find a way? Days space? Bye? I'm

329
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: still trying to figure me lost in time. It's you

330
00:25:50,920 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: nine mm which wishing I could change the past? Now

331
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: ending time in a pretty little bone now blinds my heart.

332
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: I need a guy to show the way, boll life.

333
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: Don't look back if you can help at that's strange

334
00:26:49,600 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: to me. I know what this song is about now.

335
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: It's about how I don't belong here. Yeah, it is,

336
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: isn't it. It's our wish to go home. You're right,

337
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: we need Bobby and Liam. It's time for us to go.

338
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: They weren't around when I left to come here. Let's

339
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: call then see if he sent them our way. I

340
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: had your friends barred from the venue. They are an

341
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: unnecessary distraction, Dante. How long have you been standing there?

342
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: Long enough? And you a little bit older, a little

343
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: nip and tuck, but still too much of a resemblance

344
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: to miss. Hello, Dante. You know, I never believed Nikki

345
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: when she rattled on about things that were going to happen.

346
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: But then they did little predictions here and there, and

347
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: then there was the matter of there being no record

348
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: of her cost me a pretty penny to establish an identity.

349
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: I thought, even though all the pieces added up, that

350
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: I was crazy to think something so science fiction could

351
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: be the answer. But here I am in a room

352
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 1: with two of you, and strike me down if it

353
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: isn't real. Okay, Dante, you found me out, and so

354
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: you know that I don't belong in this time. I

355
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: have to go. It isn't right for me to be

356
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: What about all those people out there cheering your name?

357
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: My name is Nikki. What about your dreams? You want

358
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,719
Speaker 1: to leave a mark on the world. Who cares if

359
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: it's a few years off. That's nothing in the grand

360
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: scheme of things. What about our partnership? You'll be fine

361
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: without me. You're an amazing producer. Trust me. Your success

362
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: in any timeline I've seen it, you need me. The

363
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: truth is, no matter how amazing this life seems, it's

364
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: not worth what I have to give up to having.

365
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: And let me guess this guitar has something to do

366
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 1: with it. I recognize it. I remember Ben working on it,

367
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: but this one seems older, like it's from a different time.

368
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: Oh did I guess right? That's my guitar. Ben made

369
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: it for me from pieces of the rink. It always

370
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: goes back to the rink, doesn't it? Be careful with that, Dante.

371
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: It's got a beautiful sound. Hi, doan'te? What have you done?

372
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: There are ten thousand people out there. Go out there

373
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: and do the show you promised them, and be a
