So I'll go get my things

out of the locker.

I gave you 13.

Yeah, that's my lane.

I'll see you in a minute.

Who's that girl?

Just some girl,

a girlfriend I had.

What happened to her?

I don't know.

I'm a free guy.

That's not my style.

I need to be free,

so I let her go.

Can I get a little room here?

Oh ! Oh !

- Sh*t, I was in a groove.

Get out of my chair.

Scoot over.

Damn !

Sh*t.

Yes !

( music starts )

Call her moonchild

Dancing in the shallows

of a river

Lovely moonchild

Dreaming in the shadows

Of a willow

Talking to the trees

of the cobweb strange

Sleeping on the steps

of a fountain

Weaving silver wands

to the nightbird song

Waiting for the sun

On the mountain.

Stop dancing.

Stop it, all right?

Go sit down.

( Layla chuckles )

F***!

What's so funny?

Why don't you try one?

Go ahead, try one,

big shot.

F***!

Come on, superstar.

Figures.

Can I bowl another one?

Go ahead.

I'm going

to the bathroom.

I don't know.
