you leave, I used it as an excuse to get out.
- Is there anything I can do?
- Come on.
- Where?
- Ill show you. Lets go.
Right.
Dad used to bring us here
when we were kids.
Listen, Rob, would you
have sex with me?
Cause I want to feel
something else than this.
Its either that, or I go home
and put my hand in the fire.
Unless you want to stub
cigarettes out on my arm.
No. I only have a few left.
Ive been saving them for later.
Right. Itll have to be sex then.
Right. Right.
I knew there was a reason
I wore a skirt today.
- Just stay there.
- Okay.
- Hi.
- Hi.
It doesnt seem so long ago
that I looked at you from here.
Hey, go be with your mom.
I'm too tired.
I'm too tired
not to be with you.
Well, so if you had a bit more energy,
wed stay split up?
But things being as they are, with you being
wiped out and all, you wanna get back together?
- Is that it?
- Yeah.
What about Ian?
Well, Rays a disaster.
Look...
I, I know its not
very romantic, Rob.
But there will be romance again
at some stage, I'm sure. I-
- I just-
- So thats it?
Well, youve made it clear
you want me back, so-
Look, um, we can talk about it
later if-if you want to.
Right now, I- I just-
Right now, I just
want to go home with you.
Okay.
So, yeah.
And so we got back together,
and it was great.
She moved all her stuff back in,
all at once.
- So when exactly did you decide to get back with me exactly?
- I'm not telling you.
- See, thats not- not a nice way to play
at all. Thats not- - The better you look
- We went out to dinner every night.
- The more I want you
What else?
- When you turn on your smile
- We stayed in and made love all the time.
- I feel my heart go wild
- important stuff. issues.
- I'm like a child with
- A brand new toy
- How can you like Art Garfunkel and Marvin Gaye?
Thats like saying you support
the Israelis and the Palestinians.
No, its not like saying
that at all actually, Rob.
Marvin Gaye and Art Garfunkel
make pop records.
Made. Made. Marvin Gayes dead.
His father shot him.
You could say it was everything
I ever wanted really.
- Marvin Gaye!
- I know.
"Lets Get It On. "
Thats our song!
Marvin Gaye is responsible
for our entire relationship.
Oh, is that so?
Id like a word with him then.
It was everything
I ever wanted...
except for some
f***in reason...
this-
Excuse me.
Is this Stereolab?
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Its really good.
Yeah, I know.
- Are you Bob?
- Rob.
Oh, right. Yeah, Rob.
You used to deejay.
I used to go to the Doubledoor
to hear you spin.
You were unbelievable.
- Really?
- I'm Caroline.
Hi.
- What do you do?
- I work for the Reader. I write a music column.
Youre Caroline Fortis?
I read your column.
- Its great. You really know what youre talking about.
- Thanks.
- Rob, phone.
- Can you take a message?
Its your girlfriend.
Excuse me.
Hey.
Hey, what the f*** is this?
- Talk to your woman.
- It was her idea.
Crumbsbusted
Pass the popcorn as I kick-
Laura!
"Dance music for old people"?
Its an idea I had
when I was with, um, Ian...
and I thought it was such a good one that I
was really annoyed we werent together any more.
- It may be why I came back.
What if I was doing something
that cant be cancelled?
- Rob, what are you ever doing that cant be cancelled?
- Thats not the point!
- The single cannot be done in time. I mean, theres a million things!
- Itll be done.
Oh, guess what.
Barry said his band will play a set.
Barry is playing at this thing?
F***ing, what are you-
Are you insane?
- Barry, Ill give- Ill give you ten
percent of the door if you dont play. - No!
Rob, were getting that anyway.
- Twenty. Twenty percent.
- No! Come on, Rob. We need the gig.
A hundred and ten percent. Thats how
much it means to me not to hear you play.
- Rob, were called Sonic Death Monkey.
- Sonic Death Monkey?
Yeah. And if Laura and her bourgeois
lawyer friends cant handle it, f*** them.
Letem riot.
Were Sonic f***ing Death Monkey.
Let me get this straight.
We made the CD with you.
Now your friends and your girlfriend are throwing
some kind of celebration party or something...
not to come to the party?
Exactly.
I dont know, dude.
That just seems kind of stupid.
Its just the whole thing
is just blown way out of proportion.
Its just a three-song CD.
Its a single.
Its just-
Its not a big deal.
Its just that
youre making something.
You, the critic,
the professional appreciator...
put something new into the world...
and the second one of those things gets sold
to someone, youre officially a part of it.
Congratulations, Rob.
always been a professional critic...
you know, or some sort of
professional appreciator or something.
And I just wanted to,
you know, do something new...
put something new
out into the world...
you know, kind of really
put my money where my mouth is.
Yeah. Wow. I would- You know,
I would love to hear them.
- Why dont I send it over to you when its, uh, done?
- Really?
- I will look forward to that.
- I will look forward to sending it.
- You know, we should get back to the interview.
- Sure, yeah.
Okay. What are your all-time
top five favorite records?
In a club or at home?
Listen. Ill tell you what.
Why dont I just make you a tape?
Now, the making of a good compilation
tape is a very subtle art.
Many dos and donts.
First of all, youre using someone
elses poetry to express how you feel.
This is a delicate thing.
So, for this one, I'm thinking-
I'm thinking-
When is this gonna stop?
Whens what gonna stop?
Uh, nothin.
Whos the tape for?
Just some girl who interviewed me
for the Reader.
So what am I gonna do now?
Just keep jumping from rock to rock...
for the rest of my life
until there arent any rocks left?
Should I bolt every time I get that
feeling in my gut when I meet someone new?
Ive been thinking with my gut
since I was 14 years old...
and, frankly speaking, Ive come to the
conclusion that my guts have sh*t for brains.
Hi. A drinking lunch
on a school day.
Thats a nice surprise.
- Are you nervous about tomorrow night?
- Not really, no.
Well, um, are you gonna talk to me,
- No, no, I'm gonna talk to you.
- Great. What are you gonna talk to me about?
Um, Im gonna talk to you
about whether or not...
you want to get married to me.
- Im serious.
- Yes, I know.
Well, thanks a f***ing bunch.
Im sorry, but two days ago
you were making tapes...
- for that girl from The Reader.
- Yeah.
Well, forgive me if I dont think
of you as the worlds safest bet.
Would you marry me if I was?
- What brought all this on?
- I dont know.
- Im just sick of thinking about it all the time.
- About what?
This stuff. Love and settling down
and marriage, you know?
I want to think
about something else.
