How Far We've Come Lost & Found Music Studios

Previously on Lost And Found...

I'm going to hang out with Octavius.

I thought you weren't hanging around with that boy any more.

'Octavius is the leader of Tully's crew, and he's worse than Tully.'

-Everything Tully touches comes crashing down.

-Tully's great, OK?

I'm going to do whatever it takes to get Tully out of my life.

'John and I are friends now,'

so I'm going to ask John a favour that a friend

would ask another friend.

We need a song, and I was wondering if you would write it.

Maybe this is her way of giving me a second chance.

All I know is I cannot mess this up.

'It's so strange how I can express how I feel about Michelle in song,

'but I can't when I'm talking to her in person.'

I can only dream of singing this song for her.

APPLAUSE

# Sunrise

# The birds will sing

# From tree tops

# They see everything

# They see how far

# They see how far we've come

# Love You started out alone

# So beautiful

# The sun is to the moon

# A perfect circle

# And I trace it back to you

# And start all over

# Wake up

# And draw the blinds

# Sleep tight

# And change our minds

# Let's make a day of it

# Let's make a day

# Love You started out alone

# So beautiful

# Like the sun is to the moon... #

'Recently Michelle and I decided that

'maybe we're better off as friends, but...

'I still want more.'

# And start all over

# Oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

# Oh ooh-ooh

# Oh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh

# Oh ooh-ooh

# Love You started out alone

# So beautiful

# Like the sun is to the moon... #

'I've been so afraid of losing Michelle that I've been

'pushing her away, but I don't want to do that any more.

'I want to be with her.'

# And start all over

# I trace it back to you. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-# We are the lost

-The lost

-# And the found

-The found

# Don't know where we stand But it's solid ground

-# It's your shot

-Take it

-# Let's see what you've got

-Don't ever fake it

# Only your true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa oh-oh Whoa oh-oh

# Whoa oh-oh oh. #

All right, guys.

It's been 48 hours since John wrote this song for Michelle,

and today is the day where he will actually get to speak to her.

-Congratulations.

-Yes!

-Thanks.

'Technically, I talked to Michelle,'

but I wasn't able to form full sentences,

so I don't think it counts.

-You nervous?

-I'm excited, I think.

Of course he's nervous, look - his grandma ironed his shirt for him.

THEY LAUGH

He looks like he's going to a square dance.

-I'm trying, here, guys, I'm trying.

-Very dandy of you.

-I'm trying.

-If you listen to what I say, this will go fine. Trust me.

-OK.

All right? And if I know anything about Riley,

she's been telling Michelle that she needs to be asking you

all these personal questions. And you don't really want

to get involved in that, all right?

You only need three words for this conversation -

"Yes", "No", and "Cool".

-What are the three words?

-Yes, no, cool.

-Good job.

'James knows what he's talking about.'

I'm going to stick to his plan this time.

OK. So, from what I'm hearing, all of the conversations that you've had

-have ended in disaster.

-Yes. Utter catastrophe.

-OK.

'I feel like things are'

just about to happen with John,

and that's why I'm getting advice from Riley and Giselle.

Our last conversation was...a little awkward.

Yeah, and you know, you need to start directing the conversation.

-Talk about...geography or the weather.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Also, ask open-ended questions - nothing he could answer

-"Yes", "No", or "Cool" to.

-And this is going to work?

Yeah. I mean, everything else that you've tried has failed,

so you might as well try something new.

You're right.

You know what? I'm excited, but I'm nervous, but excited.

-All right! Then text him.

-Right now?

Yeah. Let the games begin.

OK.

Nailed it.

'Since John wrote such an amazing song for our competition,'

I'm going to text him to ask hm if he wants to go for coffee.

TEXT ALERT

Hey. She beat me to it. She wants me to meet her on the patio.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

-You need to structure your time, though.

-Don't be in this conversation for more than ten minutes.

-Got it.

-I'm not four years old.

-Ten. Max.

-OK, ten. Ten minutes.

-OK?

-All right.

'I'm ready to talk to Michelle.'

And with such limited vocabulary, I can't possibly mess it up.

# Memories of days long ago

# Before you lit, lit up My life and helped me to know

# That I couldn't live like before... #

'I'm working on new song,

'and I think it's the best one I've every written.'

That's because of who it's about.

# And there's no need... #

-Eva, Eva, Eva! How's it going?

-Good. How are you?

-I'm doing pretty good, actually.

-That sounds awesome. Is it new?

Yeah, I wrote this one for Tully.

And the song kind of wrote itself, to be honest.

Mary's been spending all her time with Tully, so I haven't seen

her very much, but I guess that's what happens when you're in love...

or so I've heard.

Has he heard it yet?

No, I'm going to ask him to come by the studio later,

along with a few others.

Wow. That's, like, a public declaration of love.

-You're very brave.

-Do you think you'd want to come and see it too?

I'd love for you to stop by.

-Of course. I wouldn't miss it.

-OK.

'I want the whole world to know how in love I am.'

I can't wait to play this song for Tully.

I wish the sun would come out.

-Yeah.

-HE CHUCKLES

So, what do you think about the Amazon?

Cool.

'I'm doing exactly what Riley and Giselle told me to do,'

but it's failing miserably.

What are your favourite pet names?

Cool?

'Now, I'm no expert, but...'

I'm pretty sure that this is going terribly.

This isn't working. I'm going to have to resort to my go-to question.

Who do you think would win in a fight, an elephant or a shark?

Um... Yeah... Mmm... No...

Ah, I can't do this any more.

It was just a theoretical question, I actually don't want them to fight.

No, no, it's not that, it's...

James told me to play it cool. To, um...

You know, one-word answers and all that stuff.

Look at me, I'm not cool, I'm wearing a tablecloth.

It's funny, because the girls told me to ask you

questions that are distant and impersonal.

Distant and impersonal.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, I'd agree, except for the whole shark and elephant thing.

Yeah, you can tell a lot about a person on how they answer

-that question.

-Well, in that case, I give it to the elephant, hands down.

Yeah. Did you know that when a shark turns on its back,

-it actually becomes paralysed?

-I did, actually!

You know, the elephant would just knock it onto its back

with its trunk, therefore the elephant wins.

I mean, the elephant could just pick it up and carry it to the beach

-and call it a day.

-Exactly.

Is that the boys texting you to leave?

Yeah, it is. Um...

You know what? I'm turning off my phone.

Does that mean you're open to more personal questions?

Yeah. Shoot.

OK, first question...

Is your tablecloth shirt

from an Italian restaurant or a French restaurant?

-Portuguese.

-Oh. Sorry.

-Come on.

'We did it. We're talking, and we're actually having fun.'

It almost feels like this is a date.

'Octavius texted me and said to meet him here.

'I have no idea what he wants.'

Put it on my tab. HE LAUGHS

Hey. Thanks for meeting me. This seat taken?

-Be my guest.

-Yeah.

Oh, come on, man, we're practically family.

No, we're not. You're my brother's stupid friend.

Actually, you're not even his friend. What do you want, Octavius?

I like you. You've got a lot of talent. Raw talent.

-Even more than Paradox.

-Thanks.

Listen, I know you want your brother out of here,

and I want to help you make that happen.

-Why do you want to help me?

-Like I said, I like you,

and I'm always looking to do business with talented people.

If the price is right, that is.

What do you want, Octavius?

OK, here's what's up.

Tully's keeping a hard drive with the only copy

of the new Paradox mix tape in his car.

I want you to get that for me.

What do you want it for?

I'll keep it. Sell it.

I'll figure out something.

I can't believe you would do this to Tully.

I can't believe you would do this to your own brother, man.

Octavius is the leader of Tully's crew.

He's the only one who can keep Tully away from Lost And Found.

Do we have a deal?

Think about it. I'll be waiting for your call.

'Tully and I have been spending the day together. I'm so lucky.'

I've already found the love of my life.

I never want this feeling to end.

-It's so nice today.

-I know.

-MARY LAUGHS

-Let's go, bae.

-OK.

'I have one shot to save Lost And Found,'

and if Tully left his mix tape in the car, I can get it.

I take Tully's extra key, I get into the car,

and I take the hard drive with Tully's new mix tape on it.

I'm ready to take Octavius up on his offer.

Then Tully and his crew will be gone for good.

I'm doing a terrible thing,

but this is the only way I can make him leave.

It's actually so funny how both of our groups of friends

-tried to give us advice and it just turned out so awful.

-Yeah.

But, you know, at the end of the day, they just want us to be happy.

Mmm. It's funny, we have that in common, I guess - idiot friends.

Oh, yeah, totally!

'I'm having a great time'

with John. Now that the pressure's off, he's really easy to talk to.

-Hey, guys.

-Hey.

-I didn't know you came here.

I'm here, like, every day.

-Oh.

-Yeah.

-Well, we must be on different schedules.

-I think you saw me yesterday.

-Oh.

Well, I probably wasn't paying attention to you, so...

Anyways - Michelle, we have rehearsal.

'I really don't want to leave. I mean, I'm usually'

really excited to go to dance,

but I just kind of want to stay here with John.

I'm sorry, I just lost track of time.

-It's all good, don't worry about it.

-I'll see you later?

-Yeah.

-Bye.

-Good luck!

-You two lovebirds! Just...

-OK, let's go.

-Bye, John. We'll see you.

Bye.

'I don't want this day to end.'

It's time to stop running away.

I'm going to show Michelle how I feel about her.

'I was getting nervous about leaving my package in the car,

'and I come back to look for my mix tape, and it's gone.

'Mary's the only one that was in the car.'

She must have taken that package.

I thought I could trust Mary.

Where is it? Where's the package?!

I have no idea what's happening right now.

You were the last person in my car, my package is not there no more.

-It's not there no more.

-What brown package are you talking about?!

This...is scary.

Listen, if you just took my package by accident, I understand.

-I won't be mad.

-I didn't take anything!

-Just give it back to me.

What's wrong with you?

'I can't believe Mary would do this to me.

'I'm out here trying to'

help her, and her career,

and she's over here trying to leak the mix tape and steal my songs.

What are you doing?

Mary... Mary, where...

Tully, get away from me.

I don't even know who that was. That was not Tully.

MARY SOBS

# Memories of days long ago

# Before you lit, lit up my life

# And helped me to know... #

Forget about him. He's not worth your time.

You're right.

He's not worth my time.

# There's no need to doubt it

# You know how I feel

# I know it baby

# I know that it's real

# I feel so alive cos I know

# You're the kind they write about and sing about and shout about

# Nowhere that we couldn't go

# I'm so in love

# And I won't let go

# Though there are days that you're gone

# They way I feel... #

'I invited a few people to watch this performance,

'but I set this all up for Tully.

'If it weren't for Eva,

'there was no way I'd be able to perform right now.'

# I made my choice I'm up for you

# I knew from the start

# Now I'm here to say

# My lips can't be sealed

# And if you saw me falling

# You'd know that it's real

# I feel so alive cos I know

# That you're the kind they write about they sing about

# They shout about

# Nowhere that we couldn't go... #

'The hardest thing in the world'

is to sing a love song when your heart's broken.

# And I won't let go. #

'I did exactly what Octavius wanted - I stole Tully's mix tape,'

and now it's Octavius's turn to hold up his end of the bargain.

Ooh! I'm glad I'm an only child.

Now, it's your turn.

Get Tully out of Lost And Found.

It's already done.

And I didn't even have to lift a finger.

-What do you mean?

-Tully made a huge scene down here, man,

as soon as he found out his mix tape was missing.

He even accused Mary of taking it. Hah!

Made her cry.

'I feel so bad that Mary got hurt by what I did.'

No-one could ever know what I did to keep Tully away.

Congratulations, man. You did it. You got rid of your brother.

I'll be looking for you if I ever need a favour.

'Tully's been holding me back my whole life,

'and now it's finally over.'

But why do I feel so terrible?

ON PHONE: 'Hey, it's Mary, leave a message.'

Hey, Mary, it's, um... It's me.

I ruined everything with Mary.

When things don't go my way, I blow up. I don't care who gets hurt.

I understand now that she would have never taken that package.

I never should have doubted Mary.

Now, it's all over.

'I text Michelle to meet me in the recording studio.

'Last time we were in the studio, Michelle sang me a beautiful'

original song, and it was about how she felt about me.

I was too afraid to tell her how much it meant to me.

-What's this?

-Well...

I was thinking about the last time that we were

in this room together, and things didn't go over so well.

So, I thought I'd switch it up and

wish you a happy 12th birthday.

I can't believe you remembered that story.

Yeah, I remembered that you didn't get any cake that year.

Make a wish.

Wow.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

I'm sorry about how I reacted when you sang me the song.

-I love the song.

-Really?

Really. I can't get it out of my head.

Let me show you something.

'I'm nervous, but this is'

the best way I can think of to show Michelle how I feel about her.

Will you sit with me?

Sure.

# Maybe it's the sunshine

# Or the colour of your eyes

# Maybe its the moonlight

# Or the colour of the sky

# If I could freeze this moment

# I would stay here every day

# If I keep singing love songs... #

'This is all just so incredible.'

Not only did John like my song, but he remembered every word.

# BOTH: Woah-oh oh-oh

# There's nowhere else I'd rather be

# No, woah-ho

# We can't explain the way we feel

# But I believe in you

# And me. #

Wow.

You made my song so beautiful.

Not as beautiful as you are.

Thank you.

Listen, I have to tell you something

super-crazy that I did.

Try me, I've been doing crazy stuff every day

for the past little while, so...

I actually went to your house to give you something...

..and I ended up having tea with your grandma.

-Yeah, I know.

-You know?

Yeah, she told me about it.

We talked for a really long time.

We talked about you.

And she told me about your mom.

I'm really sorry.

You must really miss her.

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

My grandma, she, uh...

She didn't tell you everything.

# Whoa oh-oh Whoa oh-oh

# Whoa oh-oh-oh

# We are the lost

# And the found

# Don't know where we stand But it's solid ground

# It's your shot Let's see what you've got

# Only your true light shines as bright as you

# Whoa oh-oh Whoa oh-oh

# Whoa oh-oh-oh

# Whoa oh-oh Whoa oh-oh

# Whoa oh-oh-oh. #
