This is your driver's number and my
cell phone number. I'll leave that here.
You're due at the label

This place is a sh*t hole.
Biggest fridge I've ever seen.

Come here.
Hey, can...
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
Should I have come over in,
like, a week or two
and let you settle in first
and get used to everything?
- No.
- Are you sure?
Yeah. I don't know if I could
do this without you. It's kind of scary.
- Am I a wimp for saying that?
- Eh...
Hey! There he is.
Big Dave.

How you doing, brother?

The rest of the gang
you'll meet, spend time with.
So, uh, Gretta, you're gonna play guitar
on a track or two, I hope, right?
Oh, yeah, sure.
I mean, if Dave wants.
Yeah, Gretta and I have been writing
together for a couple years now,
even before the film came along.
So I would love for us
to try a couple of her songs.
Did you... did you write
on the film with him?
- No. No, no, no. No, I...
- No?
I mean, that's the sound we're
after is from the movie, right?
- Of course.
- Oui?
- Yes, yes.
- Sf? Came'?
Yes, I just, you know... Gretta's
very much a part of the inspiration
behind everything, you know,
so I just thought...
She's not just my girlfriend.
We're partners almost.
- I just wanted to include her.
- Um, just to be completely clear,
I'm... I'm just tagging along on this.
and more than happy
to accompany Dave
on a couple of tracks.
How sweet is this girl?
I love that.
Whew.
I love them.
Rolling Stone.
Yeah, thank you so much.
All right, it was
great talking to you. Thanks.
What's that?
- That's matcha tea.
- Matcha tea?
Yeah. it's got, like,
four million antioxidants in it.
- Oh my God, it tastes like piss.
- I like it.
Samurais used to drink it
before they went into battle.
You're not a samurai;
you're a songwriter.
- Well, I'm kind of like a samurai.
- Are you?
- OK, bring it back to the start.
- Let me give these to the guys.
Oh, hey. We got to go
to LA for a week on Monday.
- We're going to LA?
- Uh, no, sorry.
t's just with some label guys.
They have an office there.
They want me to meet
But in the meantime, I'd really
like you to listen to this. So yes?
Yes, I'm sorry. I'll, uh...
deliver coffee.
OK.
- Hey, guys, can we do this again?
- You got it, Dave. Take two.
And rolling.
Thank you.
Oh my God!
- Hello!
- Look at you!
Oh my God!
He has the studio for three months,
and then we go on tour,
- so I think we're staying for six?
- This is unbelievable.
You're total rock stars.
Which studio is he working with?
- Electric Lady.
- Oh, f*** off.
- I know.
- Oh my...
- Cool, isn't it?
- Are you serious?
- So, uh, this is me.
- Aw, ifs lovely.
t's like that old joke. You put the key
in the door, you break a window.
My God, look at all this stuff.
Yeah, a lot of the studios,
uh, are upgrading.
80 they're practically giving stuff
away. I can record an album here soon.
Well, that'd be cool.
Look at you.
You've got CDs.
Yeah, I just phased out
all my cassettes. Have a sit down.
- It's very retro of you.
- I have whiskey or water.
- Whiskey, please.
- Of course you will.
Look what you've got.
People are
going crazy for that here.
When I play a show, and the people
know I went to college in Bristol,
is if I know your boyfriend.
Tell me about it. I'm becoming
"Dave Kohl's girlfriend" back home.
I'm like, "Hello, we used to
be a team. What happened?"
Ah, you know what they say,
get your songs in a movie.
So this is me. This is where I've been
for God knows how long.
- I love it. Yeah.
- Do you?
Did you see the bed?
I made that bed.
That's impressive.
How do you get up there?
I vault. I vault.
You vault? With a pole?
No, no pole.
It's just, it's one...
I do it in one straight,
like, one straight luge.
Unless I'm drunk, in which...
in which case I...
it's often a dismount.
- God.
- It's the back I like.
Ifs like he's holding a guitar,
but he wants you
to think it's his penis.
He's saying,
"Look, it's a guitar, but it's not.
This is the actual size of my penis."
Why, no?
because you have to play that
the way you just played it.
OK, you play the guitar, 'cause I can't
do that when that thing's on.
I will. OK, where's...
- It's in G.
- I know G.
- I don't like that.
- I can play G.
It doesn't matter,
you have to get over this.
- This is an exercise.
- Yes. Ready?
Slower.
Done.
- What do you think?
- What do I think?
I think...
I think I'm angry. I think I...
I think I'm mad at you
'cause it's so good
that I hate you a little bit.
So incredibly good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Yeah, what's it called?
I don't know.
Um, "Lost Stars"?
- You like it?
- I... I don't like it.
I think it's... I love it,
and I think it's incredible,
and is it...
Is it about... It's about me? It's not
about your other boyfriend, right?
I don't know if it's about you,
but ifs definitely for you.
- I'll take it.
- It's your Christmas present
'cause I can't afford to buy you
another one. Happy Christmas!
This is the only present I want.
- Yeah? Happy Christmas.
- Thank you very much.
- I love you.
- I love you.
Aah! Turn it off, turn it off,
turn it off, turn it off.
Hi.
- I missed you.
- I missed you.
