Later...

RACHAEL: So, this is where it all happened.

JOHNNY CASH: Yup. Every episode of The Johnny Cash Show was filmed right here on this stage.

RACHAEL: That's amazing.

TOUR GUIDE: All right folks, at this time you can take pictures in the circle. You can even sing something if anyone's feeling brave.

JOHNNY CASH: Go on up there and sing Circle Be.

RACHAEL: What? I can't! Not in front of everybody!

MOTHER MAYBELLE CARTER: Don't worry honey, just grin em' down, they'll never know the difference. (winks at her)

RACHAEL: But I need the music.

JUNE CARTER CASH: (the music starts playing)

RACHAEL: How'd you do that?

JUNE CARTER CASH: Magic. Now get on up there and sing, we'll be here the whole time.

RACHAEL: (nervously walks over to the mic) (starts singing) I was standing by my window on one cold and cloudy day, when I saw that hearse come rolling for to carry my mother away...

MOTHER MAYBELLE CARTER: (they all join in) Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye. There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky...

RACHAEL: (looks at her confused) I thought you said no one could see you.

MOTHER MAYBELLE CARTER: They can't, to them it's you singing.

RACHAEL: Oh.

JUNE CARTER CASH: (continues) Well I told that undertaker, undertaker please drive slow, for this lady you are hauling, how I hate to see her go... Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye. There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky.

ANITA CARTER: (continues) Well I followed close behind her, tried to hold up and be brave, but I could not hide my sorrow when they laid her in the grave... Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye. There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky.

HELEN CARTER: (continues) I went back home Lord, my home was lonesome, miss my mother, she was gone. All my brothers, sisters crying, what a home so sad and lone... Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye. There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky.

RACHAEL: (continues) Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye. There's a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky... In the sky Lord, in the... Sky. (everyone applauds)
