Daisy Jones & the Six (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

1
- This is the club where I work.
- This is a New York address.
Come by if you're ever in
town. I could show you around.
Previously on Daisy Jones and The Six
That's my voice.
I just need to get out of here.
- To where?
- To New York.
I told you what that
woman said at the party.
- "That woman."
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[DAISY] And just like
that, she was gone.
[BILLY] We have a new
member of the band.
- Let's hear it for Daisy Jones.
- [BAND CHEERING]
Why'd you want to join the
band in the first place?
- You.
- What about me?
[DAISY] I feel like I know you.
- It's not what you think, man.
- Okay.
Every song is like a coded
message from Billy to Daisy,
- Daisy to Billy.
- You make everything better.
[DAISY] Tell me that there's
nothing going on between us.
Tell me if I'm fucking crazy.
[JONAH] I could've sworn
you two were together.
How do you know we're not?
Not according to Billy.
You're a fucking liar.
- Please, don't put my daughter in your story.
- Give me something better then.
He doesn't actually
have feelings for you.
He said it's all about the music.
I'm looking for the
woman who lives here.
[WOMAN] And how long were you planning
to stay in Greece, Miss Jones?
[DAISY] You know,
I never really think that far ahead.

dance there, where can we?
I just don't want to

I was hiding.

Hello.
Yeah, one sec.
[WHISPERS] It's for you.
- Hello?
- [TEDDY] Hey, Simone.
Oh, hey, Teddy.
- So who's that?
- Uh
that's just my roommate.
How's my girl doing?
You still burning down those clubs?
Three a night. Sometimes four.
[CHUCKLES] I'm so proud of you.
How's things in La-La Land?
Well, actually, uh, that's,
uh, why I'm calling you.
Have you spoken to Daisy recently?
No, it's been a few weeks.
Why, is everything okay?
Probably. We-we had a
record release party.
- And she didn't bother to show.
- Sounds like Daisy to me.
I was just wondering
if you knew anything.
No, I don't. But, uh,
I'm sure it's nothing.
She wouldn't miss the tour.
Well, you'll let me know if
you hear anything, right?
- Yeah, of course.
- All right, baby.
Bye.

Thank you.
And, um
What? Why are you making that face?
I don't know if I
should tell you or not.
- I don't know if I should tell you.
- Oh!
- Come on, tell me.

Bernie!
Thank you.
Tell me.
Come on, tell me.
Some execs from Salsoul are
gonna meet us at the club.
They want to press the record.
Oh, my God! That's
amazing! That's amazing!

He lives in the moment, and he's free.

Thank you.
So what do you think of The Six, Nicky?
The Six? Uh, the six of what?
You never heard her music?
I thought you were a poet.
[LAUGHS] I'm afraid
my musical tastes are a
little, uh, restrained.
But I have heard her sing,
and her voice is beautiful.
This has to be, like, the
best thing I've ever eaten.
[LAUGHTER]
So this is your home?
Um, in a way, yes. Yeah.
I spend as much time here as I can.
But I keep houses in, uh,
Rome and back in Ireland,
where I have a few obligations.
What is it that you do, Nicky?
I am a student,
working on a dissertation.
But you own this house?
Yes.
[BERNIE] And you have
places in Rome and Ireland?

[NICKY] Um,
my family are members of a
non-ruling, sovereign
nobility back in Ireland.
Wa-wait. Are you a prince?
[QUIETLY] This is why
I don't tell people.
His family goes back to
the 13th century in Ireland,
and they have a castle.
[NICKY] Castle. Yes, I have a castle.
- Very old and moldy castle.

You got better while you were recording.
I know. [LAUGHS]

I can't picture it.

He won't have to.
Why not?
Because I'm not gonna go back.

Daisy.
Did you even see this?
I almost cried.
The-the newsstand guy must've
thought I was losing my mind.
Yeah, I did. I saw it.
And I read it, too.
Why would I ever go
back to that, Simone,

And here is Petros,
holding court as usual.
This is Manala shit. Finest quality.
I wrote 28 stanzas of an epic poem
under its magnificent influence.
[LAUGHING]
Well, Daisy's also a poet,
so you two are going to love each other.
Well, we'll see about that.
What do you write about, Daisy?
I write about
whatever I want to.
Mostly, she writes about loneliness.
- Ah.
- What do you write about?
Everything. Love, madness.
- Mostly love and madness.

[MARY] Petros won a big
prize for his poetry.
[PETROS] Oh, boy.
- Four years ago?
- [PETROS] Yes.
Stopped publishing after that.
Why'd you stop publishing?
I didn't. I just say
"no" to the moneymen,
but still, I write every day.
How do people read it?
Come to our house.
The door's always open.
Um, sorry. I don't understand.
Isn't the whole point of making stuff
for it to be seen,
heard, you know, shared?
[GIORGIOS] No, no, the point
is in the making, my dear.
That's where the joy is.
Our job is to stay in a state of grace.
Everything else is just, um, applause.
He's right, you know.
Never let other people tell
you whether your work has value

I've never seen Nicky so happy.
Yeah. That's what I said.
He seems like the kind of
person that's always happy.
No?
Um
Nicky's parents died in a
car crash a few years ago.
And for a long time,
he was quite closed off.
Even until recently.
And you had the feeling like
he was seeing his life
through a telescope,
from far away.
But, now, with you,
I think that he's finally living again.

Feels like we're on another planet.
- Well
- Mm.
we kind of are.
I mean, nobody knows us here.
No.
And we can do what we want.
We don't have to worry.
But the problem is, we're
gonna have to go home.
You know we can have
this at home, right?
Hey, can I tell you something?
I'm in love with you.
You don't have to say anything back.
I just need you to know.
- They all loved you.
- Of course they did.
- [LAUGHS]
- Are you surprised that they liked me?
So surprised.
No. It was great.
I'm very happy.
Why didn't you tell
me about your parents?
I'm really sorry.
Don't be sorry.
I'm here, and I'm with you.
That's all that matters.
I don't know if that's all that matters.
I was sad for a long time afterwards.
But at some point, my
sadness became a choice.
So what do you do if you have
a problem or something's wrong?
You just look away?
I look at the good things in life.
I look at you, and the
rest just disappears.
It's like the Buddhists say.
"Pain is inevitable.
Suffering is optional."
We had this artistic and
emotional connection.
I let him in, and he
messed with my head.
I think I thought
that we were, you know,
like, soulmates or
I thought I found my soulmate once.
- Francesca.

We were very alike.
I think
it's easy to confuse a
soulmate with a mirror.
Maybe.
Maybe he was a mirror.
This, um connection you had
it's gone, right?
[DAISY] Well, she came here with you.
That sounds serious to me.
- Maybe.
- But?

I don't want to be playing
small clubs forever, Daisy.
I want what you got.
Why can't you have both?
Can I ask you something?
You sure you know what you're doing?
Last time we spoke, it sounded
like you were in the middle
of getting your heart broken.
Oh, that feels like a lifetime ago now.
But it wasn't.
It was a month ago.
And I'm here now, Simone.
Billy made me miserable,
and Nicky makes me happy.
And I just want to be
happy.
For once, I want to be the
one that gets to be happy.
I mean, can't you understand that?
Okay.

Yeah, yeah, true.
Crazy would be staying here forever,
not going on tour with the
band she took to number one.
Nobody tells Daisy what to do.
Well, you're her husband now.
You can talk some sense into her.
[NICKY LAUGHS]
I could try, yes.
Who decides what makes sense?
Nicky, you have no idea
what she's giving up.
How much she's wanted
this, how much it means.
Perhaps Petros is right.
You don't need an audience
to make your music.
Daisy isn't like Petros.
She's not one of your friends
writing sonnets for fun on the weekends.
She says she's happy.
Do you not want her to be happy?
Hey. What's going on here?
[NICKY LAUGHS SOFTLY]
What do you say we drop some acid

- I don't think that's it. I think she's just
- Ah.

- It's nothing personal.
She just wants you all to herself.
What are you talking about?
Daisy.
She's in love with you.
That's crazy.
You see it, don't you?
I mean, the way she looks at you,
the way she follows you around.
I mean, she-she flew
halfway around the world
at the drop of a hat
because you asked her to.
Yeah, and I would do
the same thing for her

any time together, Simone.
You haven't been to the
other side of the island.
One more week. Bernie will love it.

You don't have to do anything.
I do. [SMACKS LIPS]

Well, you used to be fun.

Well,
some of us have to work, Daisy.
Some of us have to
work our damn asses off

breaks you've gotten.
I don't know what's going on with you.
- With me?
- Yeah.
You remember when we first met?
[SIMONE CHUCKLES]
You were that shy little girl,
walking around with your book,
too scared to play
your songs for anyone.
- Yes, I remember.
- And what did I say to you?
You told me to get on stage,
Simone, and I did that.
And I was miserable.
And you think you're
gonna be happy here?
Daisy, I know you.
You don't write music just to write.
You need to be heard,
you need to connect.
- I'm not going back.
- You have to.
- I can't.
- You have a number one single.
- You have an album that's going there.
- I don't care.
- I don't care about any of it!

I love you, Daisy, so
I'll tell you the truth.
You're a real selfish bitch.

You, uh you never told me about this.
I didn't realize you were this famous.
I heard what she said outside.
This need to connect.
Is it true?
