Johnny McPhail: Hey there, Adele. Hope you're holdin' all my calls. Hollywood
ain't called yet, have they? Ha ha. Listen, I just wanted to
call and let you know everything here is goin' great. My part
is so perfect, you're gonna... I just know... well, you're gonna be proud of me, let's
just say that. The way Corwin has us playing this, I'm tellin' you, I'm getting good.
I'm talking scary good. This is lettin' me be who I really
am, who I'm supposed to be. I wish I could bring you up here
and let you watch me in action, but it's crew only I'm afraid.
Please don't worry about me though. I'll be in touch later.
Love you, and tell Ruthie I love her too. Bye.

Johnny McPhail: Late happy Fourth of July, y'all. Sorry, I know Daddy said he'd be
home by the holiday, but, well... there's reshoots. All kinds
of reshoots and delays. I tell you, this makin' movies is a hard-nosed
business. I know y'all gotta be upset but, really, don't
worry. This is my business. They need me up here worse, I think. What's
one Independence Day without me? Just pretend like I got run over or ran
away. Heh-heh. It'll all be over soon. Happy--

Johnny McPhail: Mama... I'm ready to come home. S*** on this! He tied both
my hands up for two days! This ain't fixin' to make me a
star. It don't make nobody a.... He liked to hanged hisself.
What's he tryin' to do, take us all with him? Don't
stay up late for poppa. Poppa loves you, boy. He sure does.
