'Gna!

Well, what do you know? 'Za was a hit and now they want a sequel and the whole gang has sold out!

Courtney went off to Hollywood and, can you believe it?, became the hottest starlet in town. Because she's such a genuine sweetheart, though, the first place she runs is back to Hometown to see Joe. And she even takes the bus. She steps off to a Rilo Kiley tune and into Joe's arms.

Joe has been wanting to see Vince and the moppet, and Courtney's been longing to do some theatre, so they head to the The City. In a car. The bright lights glare and the Postal Service plays and they just love it so much, they decide to move. After selling Pete's to Hometown's misfit orphan Josh (Justin Long) for a buck, Joe decides to go in on a joint venture with Vince and Courtney and they open their new restaurant Mama's 'Gna. Frank's mom's secret lasagna recipe quickly becomes the biggest hit in town and our three heroes are the toast of the city. "Four stars!" everyone reads in the paper.

And you know what success means....DRUGS. Drugs, and crying, and tantrums, and drama. Even little teen moppet gets in on the action. It is a big mess, and then everyone cries and hugs and after some bummer scenes with Iron and Wine music, everyone cries some more and gets better and grows up and then there's a big symbolic New Year's Eve party at Gna where everyone is beautiful and Arcade Fire's "Wake Up" plays the camera out the window into the city lights.

I think somewhere in there Josh managed to marry Ellen Page. She is a teacher.

Part 3 is where Josh and Ellen Page learn they are brother and sister.

Nice. I was mulling around something like, "Who needs drugs when you've got 'gna?", but I knew that wasn't going to cut it. Then I was thinking something about layers...but I think yours is pretty much a great take on the layers thing, so way to go.
