Previously on Daisy Jones and The Six
[CHUCK] Your brother?
Billy Dunne is gonna be in this band?
Stop. Stop. Stop.
Why don't you, uh,
show us how it's done?
[DAISY] I just didn't want
to be that girl anymore.
[BILLY] We're The Dunne Brothers.
For now.
[BILLY] You give me your number,
- I'll write you a song.
- Wow.
Does that line ever work?
[SIMONE] Question is, what
are you doing in the crowd
and not on that stage
where you want to be?
- [GRAHAM] Hey, you sounded great up there.
- Thanks, man.
- I'm Graham.
- Karen.
[ROD] California, my friend,
that is the place you got to be.
You want to be signed to
a label? You want to work

- [BUZZER SOUNDS]
Oh, here he is.
Hey, that's him. That's him.
Rod, hey.
Uh, it's, uh, Billy Dunne
and the, uh The Dunne Brothers.
We met at The Staircase
in Pittsburgh, you know?
You said I could call.
[WOMAN] All right. Thank you!
But you didn't call.
You're just here.
Um, could we have
uh, ten minutes of your time?
[DISTANT CHATTER]
[BILLY] Obviously,
- we, uh we need gigs.
- [EDDIE] Yeah, on the Strip,
- if possible.
- The Whisky, the Troubadour.
Yeah, and and-and a place to stay.
Yeah, I mean, we pooled
our savings together,
- but it's not much.
- We're probably gonna need some money.
I mean, just to get us
off the ground, you know?
[BILLY] And, uh, Teddy
Price to produce us.
- That's-that's, uh
- That would be huge.
It's really important.
Sure. Yeah, man.
Anything else?
- Uh, I think that's
- Pretty much.
- That's all, yeah.
- [LAUGHTER]
That was all we came up with.
Are you a bunch of fucking idiots?
Do you really think
that's how this works?
You show up in town and someone
hands you a key to the city?
- A sit-down with Teddy Price?
- [BILLY] You said
You know, when we were back
in Pittsburgh, you said
I'm a tour manager, not a band manager.
So, unless you guys are planning
a world tour in the near future,
I don't think I'm your guy, man.
We're not asking for handouts.
- We'll work our asses off, man.
- Listen to me.
You seem like nice people, and
if you're the band I'm thinking of
your set was kind of tight.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So what I'm gonna do is,
I'll make a call, one call,
to my guy over at Filthy's.
Filthy's? Is-is that a club?
It's more of a bar than a rock club,
- but it's on the Strip.
- Man, look, that's that's amazing.
- Sweet.
- Thank you.
And that's all I can do.
- Right on. It's a great start.
- Thank you.
I mean, that's-that's
more than we can ask for.
Now, if there's nothing else
- Yes, sir.
- Mm-hmm.
Yes.
- Thank you. Thank you for your time.
- Thanks, man.
Okay.
Uh, oh, there is just,
um, one more thing.
Um
So, I mean, uh, you know, the
thing is, I mean, all of us,
we're, uh we're really impressed.
Um, you know, not just me, and, uh,
maybe now is a good time
to you know, for a
change of scenery or a
I didn't ask her.
Karen, this is Billy Dunne.
Hi
Billy Dunne.
Hi. Look, uh, how would you like
to be in the band?
Guys, it's burning.
[SIZZLING]
Guys, it's burning!
[KAREN SIGHS]
Sorry.
Minor kitchen emergency.
[LAUGHING] It's okay.
What were you saying?
Uh, well, I was just saying,
the, uh The Dunne Brothers would love
to have you join our band.
In Pittsburgh?
No, actually. We're in L.A.
We have some gigs lined up on the Strip.
We're renting a house.
In Laurel Canyon. Tell her
that it's in Laurel Canyon.
- Shh.
- Stop.
So, what do you say, Karen?
You want to be in the
best band in the world?
[THE ALLMAN BROTHERS
BAND: "TROUBLE NO MORE"]
But you don't do me no good ♪
Let me speak to that
girlfriend of yours.
Uh [WHISPERS] Cami.
Hi, Karen.
Be honest with me.
They worth it?
I wouldn't be here if they weren't.
[KAREN] I've been in
bands since I was 15.
Always looking for the one
that would go the distance.
Let's just say that the Winters
Well, goodbye, baby ♪
weren't that.
And like my mother always told me,
don't put down roots in bad earth.

- [GASPS] Daisy! What the fuck?
- [GASPS] Oh, my God.
You-you-you you just
broke into my house like that?
Like, Jesus Christ!
I didn't break in. I used the key
- sticking out of the flower pot.
- Don't do that ever, ever again!
I'm sorry. I brought wine.
The least you could do.
[SIGHS]
- Oh, my God.
- Here you go.
- You fucking scared me.
- Wine.
- Mmm.
- Okay.
What are you cooking
that's, like, so important
- you just had to break in?
- Smells good, doesn't it?
Smells like you want
to smell it forever,
every night
in your apartment cooked by me.
You left home?
I can't stay with them anymore.
And you did say you were
looking for a roommate.
- Yeah, to help with rent.
- I can help with rent.
- You can?
- Yeah.
With what money?
- I'll get a job.
- Oh. Okay.
Well not as a cook, you won't.
Jesus, that is bad.
- Ooh. It is pretty bad.
- [LAUGHS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
[CAMILA] They say it takes
two to make a house a home,
and some things are
really just that simple.
So that first house,
it wasn't perfect, but we made it work.
Didn't matter to us that
it smelled like wet clothes
or that an old lady had
died in it the week before.
We got it cheap, we got it fast, and
we got to live in Laurel Canyon.
[GUITAR STRUMMING GENTLE MELODY]
[CAMERA WHIRRING]
[BILLY HUMMING]
You're distracting me.
Can I see that?
- Why?
- Just
just let me have a look.
[CAMERA WHIRRING]
[LAUGHING] No. No.
[LAUGHING] Come on. What? You can
film me all you want,
and I can't shoot
just one second of you?

- One second.
Oh, man.
I love you.

[KNOCKING]
Hi.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
None of the boys would touch this room,
so we thought we'd give it to you.
- Is it haunted?
- Yeah, by, uh,
horrendous, horrendous taste.
But we did have a gig on the
Strip, so that was something.
- Guys, this is exciting.
- Whoa, look at this place.
- All right, boys.
- Need a hand?
[KAREN] Filthy McNasty's, lovely.
[CAMILA] Oh, come on,
guys. It's not so bad.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[SIGHS] Hey, what do I always say?
The smaller the club,
the bigger we play, right?
Pittsburgh on three.
Ready?
One, two, three.
- [ALL] Pittsburgh!
- [WHOOPS]
[BILLY] Those eight,
nine months in McNasty's,
sure, hardly anyone
ever saw us play, but
that was where we really fell

[LINE RINGING]
[WOMAN] Hello. Capitol Records.
Hi. Is Mr. Bones Howell there, please?
No. Sorry. He's very, very busy.
Oh, I'm sure he's a very, very busy man,
but if likes good music,
The Dunne Brothers are going
to be playing a set on the 17th
down at McNasty's, and
I was wondering if
No. He's out of town till the 18th.
Oh, well, that's convenient
because they're going
to be playing on the 18th, too.

[TEDDY] You just got to be patient, man.
[DON] Now, Teddy,
- come on.
- Look, not everything catches on right away.
You already know that. I
mean, just give it a chance.
How many in a row is it, Teddy?
Six, seven straight?
Six.
Six in a row that didn't work.
Uh, they did work.
They just didn't sell.
They have to sell, Teddy. How do
you think we keep the lights on?
Look, okay, Don. All
right, so, look, what,
- you you're gonna fire me?
- Oh, come on.
Don't be that way.
Look, Dean Martin wants to
cut another Christmas album.
- Motherfuck.
- Hey, Dino loves you.
You know he does.
Why not just take some
easy shots for a change?
Enjoy your life.
Think about it.
You don't have to decide
right now, but just
just think about it.
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[EDDIE] What happened with
that producer you went up to?
- The one with the parrot?
- Parrot guy passed on us.
Wow.
That is bleak.
Might want to save half that
toast for tomorrow, Eddie.
This is barely enough to cover the rent.
Fuck.
[MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
Fuck it, man. Maybe maybe
old Chuckie was right, huh?
Maybe maybe this was
all just a big mistake
and that we should have just
stayed at home with our moms,
saved money on rent, become dentists.
I mean, I've sent out
hundreds of photographs,
and not a single fucking
paper has responded.
I mean, should I just quit?
No one said it was gonna be easy.
[WARREN] Also, while
we're talking about stuff,
how come I'm the only one
without a bed in the house?
Well, you could've taken Karen's room.
No, I couldn't have.
That room is haunted.
- It's not haunted.
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
And I'm getting pocket toast, so
Why are we still called
The Dunne Brothers?
I mean, three of us aren't Dunnes,
and the last time I checked,
I'm nobody's brother.
So you want to change our name?
I personally think that's a great idea.
I'm just saying what
everybody's thinking.
Well, the name is the name, so
- That's how people know us.
- [EDDIE] Yeah,
but it's not exactly
doing much for us, though.
How about Immaculate Reception?
- No, that is awful.
- We're not changing the name.
I mean, listen, if we're
throwing stuff out there,
Hercules is still on the table.
- No!
- Stop it!
- [OVERLAPPING CHATTER]
- [KAREN] Let it go.
Deliverance, Espionage, Poison.
The six of us will
never agree on a name.
All right? So let's just
What about The Six?
But there's five of us, you know.
Well, won't people get confused?
- Well, we can't be The Five.
- Why?
'Cause The Dave Clark
Five, 'cause The Jackson 5.
- Everybody's The Five.
- I like The Six.
Sure as hell better than Hercules.
[CAMILA LAUGHS]
- Daisy, you've got ten more minutes.
- Sorry, Dave.
[LAUGHING] Enough
with the Hercules, man.

[TEDDY LAUGHS]
That's what we have to ask.
Hey.
Daisy Jones, Teddy Price.
You two should talk.
Ellemar Records.
- You interested?
- In what exactly?
Working on some music together.
Well, I don't know.
What do I need you for?
Uh, well
I just like what I heard.
And, uh, I think, with
a little bit of my help,
I could take you to the next step.
- All you need is some shaping, and you could
- Shaping?
Yeah. I mean, I'm saying
Look, you're new, right?
And nobody is all the way
there their first time out.
I don't think I want to be shaped.
But it was nice to meet you.
[MERV] She actually walked away?
Sure did.
But sometimes the back of somebody
is the best way to see who they are.
[PUGSLEY MUNION:
"SECOND TIME FOR ME"]
That's Teddy Price.
Um hey.
Hey, hey, hey. Billy.
[HONKS HORN]
- What?
- Teddy fucking Price
just walked in behind you.
Right there.
- Teddy Price?
- Yeah, he just went in there behind you.
Give me the shit.
Give me the
Give me Give me the shit.
- Come on. Go, go, go, go.
- Okay, okay.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
[CASH REGISTER BELL RINGS]
Thanks.
Uh, Mr. Price?
I, uh, I-I love Blue Elsewhere.
Oh, not a lot of people know that one.
Thank you very much.
Uh, my name's Billy Dunne.
You and Memphis Marlon were the reason
I picked up the guitar.
I-I'm sorry, I just
I think you're a genius.
- Billy? Is that your name?
- Yes, sir.
You're making me uncomfortable.
- I'm in a band.
- And there it is.
Is there any chance we
could play for you sometime?
You know, just-just one song.
I
I don't have a I'm sorry.
Okay.
Please?
You don't want me, kid.
Call Lou Adler.
I just don't make that kind of music.
Mr. Price, look, look.
If I were you and some kid
came up to me in a market
and asked me to listen to his band,
I'd say, "Thanks, but no
thanks," just like you are.
But I'd be making a big mistake.
You know you only get
one chance at this.
Yes, sir.
Are you ready?
Absolutely.
Thank you.
- What'd he say? What'd he say?
- He gave me his card.
He gave me his card.
- Dude! Oh

Shit. Whoa.

Fuck.
Why don't you try that one "Daybreak"?
- That's a Bowie rip-off, Cam.
- Okay.
How about "Blind Alley"?
No, it's not good enough.
- It's just not.
- Okay.
- [KEYS JINGLE]
- Where are you going?
I'm gonna get some more.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Come here. Come here.
[KEYS LAND ON TABLE]
Come on. Hey, look at me.
Is there anything you
don't think is horrible?
No. Honestly, no.
- Hmm.
- Uh
There's one we've been knocking around.
Yeah?
- It's not like the others
- I want to hear it.
- It's not ready, I'm telling you.
- Billy.
All right.

[EDDIE] Seriously, the ballad?
He's gonna think we're
Andy fucking Williams.
[GRAHAM] I'm still shaky
on that chorus, too.
[EDDIE] What if we only get one song?
[BILLY] Well, then, this
is the one we get, Eddie.
We just, uh, we wanted to say thank you
for this opportunity.
We're The Six, and
this is "Silver Nail."
One, two, three, four.
What can I say?
- They knocked my [BLEEP]ing socks off.
- [MERV LAUGHS]
Oh, can I say [BLEEP]?
[LAUGHS]
- [TIRES SCREECH]
- [WHOOPS]
[ALL LAUGHING]
We did it.
[GRAHAM] Finally,
we were on our way.
People think we played
one song for Teddy Price
and he gave us a deal.
Not true.
[CROWD INSIDE CHEERING]
For months he put us
through the wringer.
But it was worth it.
You sounded good tonight.
Yeah, good but not great.
I mean, my voice cracked
during "Flip the Switch."
Eddie's chasing Warren
on time every damn song.
[CHUCKLING]
What?
I booked you into a studio next week,
and the label agrees it's high time
you kids cut an album.
- Shut up.
- Nope.
- Shut up.
- It's true, it's No, don't hug me, don't
- [BILLY LAUGHING]
- Oh, you're wet. Aw, Billy.
- Serious?
- Yes.
- What's happening?
- We're making an album!
- [ALL CHEERING]
- No, be cool, be cool. Be cool. Be cool.
You stalking me now?
Simone said I might find you here.
I want to work with you.
You know, I've heard that from
a lot of music producers, Teddy,
- and it wasn't always music that they were interested in.
- No?
Ask around, that is not me.
Now, look, maybe I
wasn't 100% clear with you
at the Troubadour.
Your songs, they aren't songs.
Did you want to order something?
I mean, you got some
great beginnings to 'em,
yeah, of course, but I'm always in
the same place at the end
- as I am at the start.
- I see.
You just don't take me anywhere.
Well, maybe you don't know
how to listen to 'em right.
Did you think about that?
Maybe I don't want my
songs to fit in a box
with a bow on it, Teddy.
Yeah, well
- maybe you're right.
- What's that for?
Your time.
[WOMAN] 46 up.
By the way, this is a song.

so slowly, and then suddenly
it was just all happening so fast.
We recorded our album in six days,
had two weeks off,
then it was time to hit the road.
By the time we get back,
I'll have enough money
to buy us our own place.
You know, maybe further
up the hill, or the beach.
I think we could do the beach.
Billy, I'm pregnant.
I've been wanting to tell you, but
there's never really a
right time for this kind
