Yeah.
Yeah. So let's go earlier because we're going to go to the scene at the tree in a second, though. But in the car, a couple of things happen because Jack is saying like, we flashback 10 days, eight, nine days, whatever it is. He's like, I got a secret for you guys on Saturday. I'm going to do something fun. You're like, what is it, Jack? He's like, oh, don't worry about it.
Because Jack don't be telling nobody nothing.
I'll tell you when I'm ready to tell you. Like it's less than a week ago, but he'd already bought the tickets. And so there's two things that happened. Like he was drinking coffee in the thing. His coffee cup is still in the car right there. So like the little echoes of like just a second ago, my husband was drinking that. And early in the episode, you saw the Springs thing tickets, right?
So you go ahead, you take the kids to the infamous scene where the plane keeps going. Go for it.
17 year old boys, man.
Just be that.
Yeah.
Say the part about going over the bridge.
Because at the end, you guys get in the car. You're going to the thing. You have to cross the same bridge that you're going to the Weird Al Yankovic concert.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you see Rebecca take a... See, I'll be watching you, Mandy Moore. You see Rebecca take this breath and just sort of be like, this is what we're doing. And you see that Wagoneer with its front headlight out, right? It may be a little bruised because we'll come to what we hear Jack ultimately say to Mel in that conversation that everybody else was outside of.
He's like, look, Mel, I see my family in this car. Hold on, let me jump. Your dad had this way of ruining movies. That's at the tree. He had this way of ruining movies. It's like, as soon as it came on, he knew who was gonna end up with who, he knew who killed whoever. It's like, he always knew. It's like, and you were talking about this mythic figure who just had this sort of like sight, right?
And so like all those conversations about, Kate, I think you should do music. Fellas, I think you guys should have each other's back. It's like, I see it, right?
You say that like, he always has a way of doing it. So then, The car goes over, like it's a beautiful moment, but like him talking to Mel about what he needs for his family. And this is where Brown gets a little verklempt, honestly, because it's such a simple thing, but such a powerful thing.
You see, he's like, they're gonna have some spills. They're gonna have some dings. You know what I'm saying? Like it's gonna go through some things, but I just, I need them to be safe. I need them to be taken care of. I need my kids to be okay. I need my family to be okay. So Mel, I can't afford this car, but you're gonna help me figure it out.
Beautiful.
Well, let's have a little chat with them.
We'll take a break. We'll be back right after this with more That Was Us. That Was Us.
We had it all zipped up.
Wow. The origin is that a beautiful writer who is no longer with us named Jazz Waters had this idea, which was to sort of tell an episode sort of based around the family car and tell the life of a family through their car. And she had this incredible idea and it was so relatable to all of us. I mean, I think everyone, so many of us had that memory of like your parents buy the new car.
