I quit.

You knew, didn't you?

About what?

Everything.

About me,

what I wanted to do.

I knew you weren't happy.

Thank you for coming. 'Bye. Move along.

These are on sale with a coupon, right?

Doesn't anybody work in this store?

I do.

A.J.!

Leave the merchandise, take your cup,

get out! Bug someone outside!

Now!

Here's all your money. Count it.

I hate this place. You love it.

Let me sell it to you.

Cheap.

Thanks, you won't regret it.

A**hole.

I'll take it.

Give me that!

You!

- Take the lead.

- What?

Go on.

You're on.

Perfect.

Well, not entirely perfect.

Hi. What are you doing up here?

- Listen to me!

- Hello, Corey.

You're so special and so talented!

You have everything it takes!

More than everything it takes!

And you're really stupid

because you don't know that!

And I know you don't love me anymore

and I know that I blew it!

And if you don't go to art school...

if you don't understand how special

you are, then you know nothing.

I did love you and I still...

Only I didn't realize it was love

because it was more than love...

and it wasn't just some stupid feeling

in my stomach.

I'll never love anybody as much as you.

And I hate you! Why did you wait so long?

I quit.

I'm going to art school...

in Boston...

so I can be near you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

That guy, whatever his name is.

What's his name?

That dude with the shaved head?

The liar guy?

- Henry Rollins?

- Yes, the guy with tattoos all over.

I admit, Henry Rollins is sort of a puss.

Yeah, he's a total puss. His lyrics suck.

But you can't go and put down the Misfits.

They had everything it took

to be a great punk band.

They had good bass lines

and strong guitar chords...

even though they were only three.

They didn't even compare to Primus.

They were that old school stuff.

Why get into Primus?

- Primus sucks.

- Primus is the new stuff.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Religion's a bad thing if Primus

is what's gonna come around.

- What are you talking about?

- The fact that Primus has nothing.

They got good bass lines. I'll admit.

They have beautiful bass lines.

Six-string fretless bass...

Okay, but they're not

as good as the Pixies.

The Pixies have way better bass lines

than Primus.

So why didn't they stick around?

Because people wanted to do solo careers

and explore themselves...

as single entities instead of a band.

But that's like money.

No, it's not about money.

What are you talking about, "money"?

Yeah, it is.

and everything's going to be fine...
