- [EXHALES AUDIBLY]

- So this is you singing?

Like, you did this whole thing

yourself?

- That's kind of awesome.

- Yeah.

I got like 50 demos

in there.

Hopefully somebody gets

to hear them soon.

But not with Starfoxy.

That's so sad.

Well, to be honest with you,

I met with this agent and...

Well, he told me

I don't need these guys.

Like, why should I slave away

trying to make Starfoxy relevant

when I can go solo

and just, you know,

take credit where credit's due?

I mean, this guy, he said

I could be their Peter Gabriel

- [CHUCKLES]

- or Chris Cornell.

Their Beyonc.

- [CHUCKLES]

- [LAUGHS]

So, what, you're not gonna

play me a Kirk original live?

[CHUCKLES]

Like, right now?

Yeah, now.

Hey, Byron,

can you turn the music down?

- [CHUCKLES]

- [MUSIC CONTINUES QUIETLY]

[PLAYING "CASTLES"]

[UPBEAT ELECTRONIC

INSTRUMENTAL PLAYING]

Ice, baby

We can go all night

We'll tell the sun

To stay down

So we can do this right

I've got drugs for days

You got liquor for weeks

We got a house

With no heat

And a dance floor

On the street

There's a shout

From the back

Of a sold-out crowd

Turn that sh*t up

And play that song loud

There's a girl

Who's dying inside every night

Well, she don't look sad

And she don't look right

Yeah, you know

I ain't no killer

But this place

Makes me wanna kill

Yeah, you know

I ain't no killer

But this place

Makes me wanna kill

[CLAPPING]

Who knew we had Stevie Wonder

in the house,

ladies and gentleman?

Wow.

And I thought

this was a f***ing party

and you're killing my buzz

with your open-mic sh*t.

Jackie, can I talk to you

in the kitchen

about something real quick?

So serious.

- In the park on your skates

- Okay.

Everybody knows...

KIRK:
Can you guys

give us a second?

Thanks.

Seriously,

what is your problem?

I don't have a problem.

I'm having a great time

at your f***ing

going-away party.

- That's what this is about.

- What else would it be about?

Jackie, you said

you were okay with this.

I lied, Kirk.

I f***ing lied.

I mean,

what did you want me to say?

You used us

so that you could have a hit

and then you immediately told us

to go f*** ourselves.

You're unbelievable.

You think I used you?

- That's how this worked out?

- I didn't see anybody else

jumping to hire

some 22-year-old idiot

from f***ing Bakersfield.

Yeah, and I didn't see

anyone else

jumping to join a mediocre

bar band called Starfoxy.

Thanks for the champagne.

F*** you.

LUCY:

Oh, that one almost went in.

[SHRIEKS]

Send, like, three balls

at a time.

[LAUGHS]

Hey,

Maple's looking for you.

She went down there.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

Maple?

- Maple?

- Kirk?

I was thinking

we could go for a swim.

[CHUCKLES]

Let me see if I brought

my bathing suit.

[AMBER CHUCKLING]

JACKIE:

So...

Where'd you get

the bathing suit from?

Heh. From my purse.

Well, I guess that shows us

what kind of girl you are.

Good night, Jackie.

JACKIE:

Good night.

Have fun.

So are you the type

to get in slow or just jump?

[LAUGHS]

[WHOOPS, SHRIEKS]

- F*** it.

- [AMBER GASPING]

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES]

- [EXHALES AUDIBLY]

[]

God, this is so weird.

What?

Well...

I was just watching you

in a music video yesterday.

And now...

you are right in front of me,

inches from my face

and you're about to kiss me.

- Oh, am I?

- Yeah.

How can you be so sure?

Woman's intuition.

[CHUCKLES]

AMBER:

Maple!

We're leaving. Now.

- Everyone out.

- What are you doing?

These people

are f***ing sleazebags.

Get out of the pool.

Let's go.

[CHUCKLES]

No, I'm having a good time.

- What happened?

- Lucy and I are leaving

and we're not gonna

leave you here alone. Come on.

I'll be back in two seconds.

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

WOMAN:
She just, like,

came in and kicked us out.

MAN:

I don't know what happened.

Dude,

what the f*** happened?

I don't know.

Seriously,

what the f*** did you do?

I didn't do anything. Amber and

Lucy were in Jackie's room

with Travis,

now they're pissed.

They came out

and told everyone to leave.

Why were they

in Jackie's room?

I don't know.

Well, where's Travis?

I don't know.

[SIGHS]

[INSECTS CHIRPING]

[SLIDING DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

They leave?

JACKIE:

Yep. They all left.

But I'm still here.

[]

You don't see nights like this

in L.A.

Sure don't.

Mm.

Kirk.

What the f*** happened?

Oh, God!

[]

Maple?

Maple?

- You guys,

- KIRK:
Come on.

you're not gonna believe

what happened last night.

Hey, Maple.

Oh, sh*t.

And that was the first time

you saw her that morning?

Yeah.

But, I mean, honestly,

I barely remember her

from the night before. Look...

Before we get any deeper

into this,

I feel like there's...

something I need to share

with you.

And I know it's gonna make me

look very, very bad,

but... I feel it's best

to mention it now,

for the good of this whole

overall thing and all.

I...

I am often very high.

No kidding.

Like, a lot.

To an unhealthy degree,

and I know that.

I've done

the research online.

They say

it's incredibly psychologically,

if not physically,

addictive.

And I have a prescription.

Why don't you tell me

about what you can remember?

Start with the van.

Um...

Well, I mean, I smoked

a breakfast bowl right...

That's marijuana.

- Got it.

- I was...

Uh... Jackie picked me up,

passed out ASAP.

And when I woke up,

we were already at the festival.

What about the champagne?

What champagne?

[VIVALDI'S "FOUR SEASONS"

PLAYING]

JACKIE:

We're gonna crash!

[CHUCKLES]

Wake up, dipshit.

Great, we're here.

Every man for himself.

Meet back here at 4.

- I hope they have dragons here.

- I love dragons.

JACKIE:

Who doesn't?

- [MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

[]

And there ain't no girl

With whom

I could be seen

And there ain't no girl

That knows

Just what to do

I don't know that bad things

Happen to me

They should happen

To you

Half of all bad things

Happen to me

Well, they should happen

To you

Half of all

The bad things happen to me

Well, they should happen

To you

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hey, where'd you find

this place?

JACKIE:

Your grandma.

[BLOWING RASPBERRY]

What's up with these gnomes?

[DOOR CLOSES]

[]

BYRON:
Whoa, check it out.

It's a Plinko machine.

[KIRK SIGHS]

Well, first things first,

I'm headed

to the liquor store.

Also gonna see

if I can scrounge up some puss.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

- All right, this is awkward.

- I know.

Yeah, you said we were

gonna do this in the van.

Well, someone

was f***ing sleeping.

Oh, hey, look what I'm doing.

I'm poking you with my finger.

Sure bet

that would wake someone up.

I still think we wait

till tomorrow after the show.

No, we tell him tonight

so he won't wanna play tomorrow,

and that way

we call Sweaty Jeff and boom,

new Starfoxy is born

on the festival stage.

But how do you know he's not

gonna wanna play one last show?
