[Vienna] I don't think anything is fun about picking your brother up from rehab on paper. But I would be lying to the world if I said I wasn't excited to see him again. 

[Graham] I wasn't even planning on bringing Vienna with me but it definitely was something she wanted to do.

"Hey world famous rockstar Billy Dunne?" Graham jokes rolling down his window as Vienna breaks out in laughter from the back seat before running around to give Billy a hug. 

"I missed you so much oh my gosh!"

"I missed you too V." He tells her before she lets go to let Graham give Billy a hug.

They start driving as they attempt to catch Billy up on everything that had happened in the past 2 months.

"I built my own bass!" Vienna exclaims more than happy to brag about it.

Graham adds on to Vienna's statement "We also tried a new backing section on Look Me in the Eye I think you're really gonna" Graham is cut off by Billy.

"Guys I just, I need to meet my daughter."

"Yeah,right." Graham sighs.

"Oh my gosh your gonna love her shes the cutest little thing and when she was born her hands were so tiny like her fingers could only wrap around my pinky. Being an aunt is like amazing I can't get over it."

Graham laughs, "The other day we were hanging in the yard, and, she just looks up at me with those big eyes, and out of nowhere she just, she just smiles, you know? Like and not some smile like when she's got gas. You know, like a real, full human smile man."

Just as it seems like Graham is about to say more he hears Billy's muffled sobs into his hand.

"You guys probably hate me now. I'm sorry,I'm so sorry I promise it will never happen again. You guys hate me."

Vienna pauses looking at her hands for a moment, "You're my brother I don't think I could ever hate you."

[Graham] We didn't really understand addiction back then. I mean, I thought he'd just dry out. Things would go back to the way they used to be.

[Vienna] It should've gone that way, but he made his choice, sorry I'm getting ahead of myself.

[Eddie] The label dropped us a week after the tour was canceled.

[Warren] They made us pay back our advance and everything.

[Vienna] I mean it sucked but who's laughing now.

[Graham] I kept us practicing as much as I could, got a job at a body shop.

[Warren] Yeah, I was working down at Malibu Harbor cleaning boats, which I loved, and, uh, and doing a lot of mushrooms. Which I also loved.

[Vienna] I got a job at a used book store downtown it wasn't anything great but it was peaceful which after all of that was definitely what I needed.
