Luke Patterson's Lover // Julie and The Phantoms

Flying Solo

Julie runs back to the studio.

Julie - GUYS WE HAVE 30 MINUTES. LUKE, Give me those lyrics.

He smiles and gives her the lyrics. They start practicing and I sit on the grand piano. 30 minutes go by and we hear a knocking at the door.

Julie - Thanks for coming. We just wanted to rehearse the song so it was perfect, which it's not, but whatever.

Flynn - No, if I'm gonna hear a song from your imaginary ghost band, I want it to be perfect. So, get back in there. All of you. You too.

Julie - They're not out here.

Flynn - Oh, I know.

Julie - All right, guys. You ready?

Laura - Reggie says he needs his space.

Flynn - Who is that?

Julie - Oh that's Laura, one of the ghosts, she's the only one everyone can see... So uh, actually, can you go over there? So Reggie can have some space to rock out? and he feels kinda weird walking through you.

Flynn - Boy, when you create a world, you really live in it.

Julie - Just sit!

Flynn - Oh!

Julie - If you'll notice, there's no equipment that will produce a hologram. Feel free to look around... The guys took a poem that I wrote about you and put it to music.

Flynn - Aww! I wish I didn't have to talk to your dad after this.

Laura - Girl, just hear her god damn song.

Julie - Laura!

Laura - She obviously doesn't believe you.

Julie - Just let me...

She takes a breath.

Julie - It's called "Flying Solo." Hope you like it.

If I leave you on a bad note

Leave you on a sad note

Guess that means I'm buying lunch that day

I know all your secrets

You know all my deep-dish

Guess that means some things they never, they never

Change...

We both know what I, what I, what I

Mean...

When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

Hey! yeah-e-yeah

Hey! yeah-e-yeah

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

Yeah, you know who I'm likin'

Way before I liked them, duh...

Cause you liked them first

And if somebody hurts you

I'm gonna get hurt too

That's just how we work, yeah, that's just how we work

It will never

Change...

We both know what I, what I, what I

Mean...

When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

Hey! yeah-e-yeah

Hey! yeah-e-yeah

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

--------------------

Reggie - Weird right?

Flynn - They're ghosts

Alex - Oh, we prefer, uh, musician spirits.

Luke - Julie... so does this mean you're joining our band?

Flynn - Um... Actually, I think you're joining her band.

Julie - I'm gonna go with what she said.

--------------------

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you

Hey! yeah-e-yeah (yeah)

Hey! yeah-e-yeah

My life, my life would be real low, zero, flying solo without you... you...

--------------------

Julie - So you still wanna tell my dad

Flynn - Nah I'm good.

We all chuckle and they hug.

Laura - Sorry about earlier. It's just I'm basically her dead aunt.

Julie - You are my aunt.

Laura - Really?!

Julie - Yes.

Laura - Ohhhhh come here.

I hug her.

Luke - Does that make me an uncle since Laura and I are together.

Julie - No... You will be... If you have a kid with her.

I look down. Luke looks at me then Julie...

Julie - Oh I...

Luke tries to take me outside.

Laura - When I died... They found a 3 month old baby in me... they did do tests and it was Luke's.

Alex - Oh I'm so sorry. Laura.

Julie - Um Flynn. I'll see you at school tomorrow. Ok.

Flynn - Why is Laura sad.

Julie - I'll explain later.

Flynn - Ok. See you at school.
