Joe: It's hard to teach piano to your best friend's wife,
especially when you are afraid of her.
When was the last time you played?
When I was 14.
Before we begin, can I just say sorry
that me and Gene put a bullet in the microwave?
Let's just get started.
Okay.
What's the piece you wanted to play?
Here.
Do you know it?
I think so.
[ Humming ]
Oh, yeah.
I can play it through slowly, but it's pretty rough.
What day is the party again?
Two weeks from Saturday.
You and Sarah RSVP'd.
Right.
Well, can you help me pull it off?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Well, what does the song mean?
Well, not the song. That's fairly clear.
But what does the song mean to you and Gene,
and why do you want to play it for him
on your 40th wedding anniversary?
Joe.
If you connect to a piece emotionally,
All right, Joe.
From what I've learned teaching middle school,
a concert can be pulled off with enthusiasm alone.
It was one of the more popular songs of 1980.
Okay, if you don't want to tell me, I understand,
but do you know why?
Yes.
Well, good.
I don't like talking about my relationship much, either.
I guess I'll just say that I'm not sure
Sarah will be coming to the party.
Sorry to hear.
Mm-hmm.
