- reorganizing your records.

- Reorganizing my records. Yeah.

Um, what is this, uh, chronological?

No.

- Not alphabetical.

- Nope.

What?

Autobiographical.

- No f***ing way.

- Yep.

I can tell you how I got from Deep

Purple to Howling Wolf in just 25 moves.

- Oh, my God.

- And, if I want to find the song "Landslide," by Fleetwood Mac...

I have to remember that I bought it

for someone in the fall of 1983 pile...

but didnt give it to them

for personal reasons.

- That sounds-

- Comforting?

- Yes.

- It is.

- Hello?

- Well, shoo.

I can stick around, you know, man,

if you- I- if you want me to help out.

But you really shouldnt, uh, keepem piled

like this, because it gets really pressured.

- Hold on. - You know? -

See you tomorrow. - Oh. Okay.

- Okay.

- Ill see you.

- Hi, Mom.

- Hows the store?

You know something? Youre very lucky

that Laura is doing as well as shes doing.

Because if it wasnt for her, I dont

think either of us would ever sleep.

She left. Shes gone.

What? What do you mean?

- Where did she go?

- How would I know where?

Shes gone. Girlfriend leave.

Not say where gone. Laura move out.

- Well, call her mother.

- She just called.

She doesnt even know. Probably

the last time Ill ever hear her voice.

- I'm all right, if thats whats upsetting you.

- That is not whats upsetting me.

- Well, it f***in should be, shouldnt it?

- I knew this would happen.

- What are you gonna do, Rob?

- I'm gonna drink a bottle of wine, I'm gonna watch TV and go to bed.

- Then I'm gonna go to work.

- And then what?

I'm gonna meet a nice girl

and have children.

I promise the next time we talk,

Ill have it all figured out. Okay?

- I knew- I knew it was gonna happen again.

- What are you getting so upset about?

- Do you know why she left?

- Its got nothing to do with marriage.

- So you say!

- Mom, I'm telling you for the last time.

Laura didnt even want to get married.

Shes not that kind of girl.

- Thats not what happens now. Okay?

- Oh, I dont know what happens now.

Apart from you meet someone,

you move in, she goes!

You meet someone,

you move in, she goes!

Shut up, Mom! God dam!

Thats some cold sh*t.

John Dillinger was shot dead behind

that theatre in a hail of FBl gunfire.

You know who tippedem off?

His f***in girlfriend.

He just wanted to go to the movies.

Is that Peter f***ing Frampton?

I wish I could buy words

Out of season

So dont

Dont hesitate

Cause our love

Just wont wait

Ooh, baby, I love your way

- Rob. - Wanna tell

you I love - What?

- Yeah. Hey.

- Your way

- I always hated that

song. - Yeah. - Yeah.

- Now I kinda like it. - Wanna be

with you night and day - Yeah. - Yeah.

Yeah.

Cause I

She shouldve done it on

The Number Four with a Smile.

Wasnt her record called

Number Four with a Smile?

- Thats what I said.

- No, no. You said "The Number Four with a Smile. "

Theres no "The" at the front

of the title of the album.

Its a reference to

a Chinese meal in Toronto...

uh, so I think that there is "The,"

but I could be wrong.

- You can be, and are, wrong.

- Wanna tell you I love your way

I wanna be with you

night and day

I wanna date a musician.

- Cause I

- I wanna live with a musician.

- Feel that you

- Shed write songs at home and ask me what I thought of em...

and maybe even include one of our

private little jokes in the liner notes.

Maybe a little picture of me

in the liner notes.

Just in the background somewhere.

- Dont hesitate

- Yeah.

- So, um, do you live in Chicago now?

- I do.

Do you love it?

You should come to our record store.

- Championship Vinyl.

- Oh, my God, yes. Oh, youd love it.

- We sell a little bit of anything that matters.

- He owns it. Its on Milwaukee.

- Rock, soul, trip-hop, salsa.

- Ska, techno and pop.

- Will you come? - Yeah, Marie.

- Okay, okay. - Sounds good.

- Championship Vinyl. - Championship

Vinyl. - Enjoyed your set.

Thank you.

- Barry, whyd you tell her about the store, man?

- Oh, man, I'm sorry.

I didnt know

it was classified information.

I mean, I know we dont have any customers,

but I thought that was a bad thing...

not, like, a business strategy.

Rob? Its Liz.

Just calling to see if,

you know, well, youre okay.

Look, I'm your friend too,

so I'm not taking sides. Yet.

- Shadows grow so long before my eyes

- Give me a call. Okay? Bye.

- Hi.

- What are you doing here?

- Took the morning off.

- Come on, Rob.

Do you still love me?

Well, its not really the issue,

is it?

Why? I mean, what else is there?

What do you mean? What else is there?

I dont know. It doesnt change

the way we dont get along at all.

In fact, I hope were not

in love any more, to be honest.

- It would give me a better opinion of love right now.

- Come on!

What, did I beat you? Did I tell you

were a bad person? I mean, what the f***?

- What should I have done to make you happy?

- Nothing. Make yourself happy.

Oh, I see.

Um, wh-why am I not happy?

Because youre the same person

you used to be...

and I'm not.

- And all Ive done is change jobs.

- Clothes and hairstyles.

- Attitudes and friends.

- I couldnt go to work with my hair dyed pink.

- Youre harder.

- You havent changed so much as a pair of socks since Ive known you.

- Oh, come on, Laura. Now youre just being stupid.

- At least you used to talk about the future.

Now you dont even do that.

- Look, I'm all right. Youre the one that hates her job.

- See? You havent got a clue.

I like my job.

All I'm saying is, you have to allow

for things to happen to people...

most of all to yourself.

And you dont, Rob.

So whats the use?

Rob, its your turn.

Okay, I'm feeling kinda basic today.

Top Five Side Ones, Track Ones.

"Janie Jones," The Clash,

from The Clash.

"Lets Get It On," Marvin Gaye,

from Lets Get It On. "

Nirvana, "Smells Like Teen Spirit,"

off of Never mind.

Oh, no, Rob, thats not obvious enough.

Not at all.

How about, uh, "Point of No Return"

on Point of No Return?

- Louis, you couldnt get up-

- Shut up. Shut up.

- "White Light/White Heat," Velvet Underground.

- Okay, that would be on my list.

- Though not on mine.

- And Massive Attack, No Protection.

- The song is "Radiation Ruling the Nation. "

- Ohh!

- Kind of a new record. Very- - Excuse me. I was

in here last night- - In a minute. Very nice, Rob.

A sly declaration of new classic status

slipped into a list of old safe ones.

Very p*ssy.

- Excuse me, I was in here last-

- In a minute.

Couldnt you be any more obvious than that,

Rob? How about, uh, I dont know, the Beatles?

How about f***ing

- f***ing Beethoven? Track one, side one of the Fifth Symphony.

How can someone who has no interest

in music own a record store?

Do you still have that, uh, Beefheart

French import, Safe as Milk?

Um, lets see.

Ah, yes, here it is.

Yes.

- How much you want for it?

- Uh-

Yes- Oh, no.

You know what?

- I dont think I'm selling it this week. Maybe next week.

- Oh, no. You said that last week.
