Tommy, Nikki and Mick have their first gig with John and we look it into the crowd, which is a whole lot smaller than what it used to be and some people are even holding up 'bring back Vince' signs. Nikki looks at Mick and I and I can see the disappointment in his eyes. He starts going down the stairs and Tom walks out from around the corner. He crosses his arms and just looks at us. "You got something to say?" Nikki asks.
"Well, I just didn't think it would end this way, with some other dude singing your songs," Tom says.
"You mean Elektra's fucking songs?" Nikki says.
"You're never gonna live up to this deal. You know that, right?" Tom asks.
"Then how about you give us back the rights to our music and we'll call it even?" Nikki mutters.
"What are you even asking?" Tom asks. "You want me to give you back your music instead of the money we owe you?" Nikki nods and starts playing with a lighter. "The Beatles don't even own the rights to their own fucking music."
"Well, The Beatles should own the rights to their own fucking music," Nikki says, raising his voice. "And so should Mötley Crüe." Nikki walks away from Tom and heads back up the stairs to the stage. Mick and John walk onto the stage and the sound of people cheering fills the silence. Nikki walks up to me and kisses me.
"Ignore the signs and how many people are out there," I say. "Just do what you love."
