Come Worry with Us! Page #4

We're both working very hard

but in very different ways.

I joined the band.

You joined the band?

Jessica just quit.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

MOSS:
But I think we are learning

a language of how to make it feel

like we're walking arm in arm

as opposed to

miles away from each other.

And the day has come

When we no longer feel

And the day has come

When we no longer feel

And the day has come

When we no longer feel

And the day has come

When we no longer feel

And the day has come

When we no longer feel

(MAN SPEAKING)

Uh, because they're made out

of like very good material

so they won't fall apart.

It's the bare truth.

And they're environmentally

sound and they're made in Canada.

We could've gotten you

a cheap Chinese t-shirt but we didn't.

We're fairly ambivalent

about the whole t-shirt thing

but guess what? None you all buy

records anymore, so...

WOMAN:
I do!

I know some of you do.

Sorry none of you.

Most of you all don't

buy records anymore.

MAN 2:
Can I

download a shirt?

You can download

the shirt, yeah.

(ALL LAUGHING)

MENUCK:
Piracy.

I think the most

important records

that I ever heard

in my life were things

that I taped on cassette from people

who had more money than me.

I think that's

a lovely thing.

How do you make a living

as an artist

when everything

is on the Internet for free?

I have no problem with

people getting stuff for free.

It's just people

are getting rich

and it's not the people that are actually

providing content for the Internet.

It's Apple

that's getting rich,

it's the telecom giants

who are getting rich,

it's Samsung that's

getting rich, it's...

It's everybody but the people

who are making stuff.

Ten years ago we were earning twice to

three times as much as we are right now.

People stopped

selling records

and all of a sudden everyone

decided to go on the road.

So there's a lot more

competition out there.

If you live in any

mid to large city

in North America

or Europe, it's a bounty.

You know, pretty much

every other night of the week

there's an out-of-town band

coming through that you could go see.

Because there's so

much competition now,

you're getting more and more screwed

at the end of the night

because they can

get away with it, you know?

It's like you're not

a scarce resource anymore,

a band that

could fill that hole.

There are tons of bands

that could fill that hole.

It feels like the last days

of vaudeville out there.

One, two, check, one, two.

(PLAYING)

MENUCK:
I'm super worried

all the time.

I mean, what else would I do?

My resume right now would be

as if I just got out of prison.

(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

It's right here.

We can get our supper right here.

EZRA:
What you talking about?

What you talking about?

MOSS:
That's different than

being a destination in Montreal...

What you talking about?

(PLAYING SAXOPHONE)

MOSS:
I'm so proud of my whole band

for being so great with him

and easy with him.

I feel so unbelievably

down-on-my-knees lucky

that I get to keep

doing what I'm doing.

(INAUDIBLE)

(LAUGHS)

I really don't know

if I can keep it going.

I want to have some

normalcy, you know?

Just a little something.

A little normalcy.

I'd love to

have children

but I don't think that's

going to happen for me

so I would love

to have a dog.

I can't even have

a dog right now.

Men are able to stick

with it for longer

because they're not

having the children.

And that's

what I've seen.

I've seen it all

across the board

when women, at least in the music

that I'm playing,

start their families,

they have to take a step back.

And the men go on tour,

they do all these things

and they can have,

you know, twelve kids

because they've got

their wife or girlfriend or you know,

what have you,

the mother of their children

taking care of the basics.

And I do...

For what I do, if I have children

I'd have to stop playing.

I would actually

have to get a job

because for what I do

I can barely support myself.

Sometimes I look at biographies of

famous opera singers

and all these... I have always

looked up to women in rock

because they're more...

But you look at them

and you realize,

"Oh, she didn't have any children, she

didn't have a family, she didn't have..."

I watched my mother raise, try to

raise three children almost by herself

and so to see that

and go like, "Wow."

And she never had the time to do

anything for herself

and yet was able

to be so selfless

and giving and that's

what mothers do

and I couldn't do that.

I just couldn't.

I don't have it in me

because the work

takes so much,

I give so much

to the work.

(LAUGHING)

MATANA ROBERTS:
I know

what it feels like to be loved by a mother

and it's so powerful.

Knowing what... And understanding

that not all children get that.

(KISSING)

And I'm still

feeding off of that,

so many years, you know,

later so it's just...

-I'm gonna cry now.

-Yeah, I'm gonna cry, too.

-Can we stop?

-Yup.

Are you gonna have

a nice sleep?

Mmm-mmm.

Have a bad sleep.

-You're gonna have a bad sleep?

-Yeah.

Don't tell me that.

Why are you gonna have a bad sleep?

Because I think of things.

(BABY TALK)

Sweet pea, it's time

to lie down.

Okay?

(EZRA TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

Can you listen

to Daddy?

I a cat.

-You're a cat?

-Yeah.

What sound does

a cat make?

Meow meow!

That's right.

-You a dog.

-Woof.

Cats don't like

that sound.

Ezra's don't like

that sound either.

I a cat.

Up, down, up,

down, up, down!

Up, down, up, down,

but not up, down.

Down!

MENUCK:
You have to be 1000% on the

side of humanity once you have a kid.

You have to... You're like rooting for

the home team like you never had before.

-What you did.

-I flopped you down like you asked.

Which is a big adjustment.

That's a heavy adjustment.

For me that was

the harder thing

was having to, like, get rid

of a lot of my own cynicism, you know?

You have to be like,

"No, things have to change,

"things have to get

better 'cause this little

"innocent creature has to

grow up into a world that's

"better than the one

he was born into."

All right, I'm gonna put

night lights on, are you ready?

Go forth, man

Get down

With a mighty fist

and a retarded crown

Do the one-step,

the two-step

Sweet jubilee

And show me

the light, goddamn

Tell me

There is a light

Tell me

There is a light

-Hi.

-Hi.

Got a balloon

in my bottom.

Hi.

Happy birthday, Thierry.

Happy birthday.

-Happy birthday.

ALL:
Happy birthday.

Happy birthday, Thierry.

Cheers.

I couldn't imagine

a better birthday

than to be here

with you guys.

You don't wanna

cheers that.

Sante.

One more cheers, buddy?

Thanks.

Yay! Cheers! Cheers!

Yeah.

Everybody in the bus!

Yeah. -That's right,

that never happens.

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

Some! Hearts! Are! True!

MOSS:
I don't
