It's All Gone Pete Tong Page #3

It was as simple as that. It was...

...gone.

All right, Frankie?

All right?

Blink!

Hola, mate.

- All right?

- All right.

Good game?

- Is it a good game?

- Yeah, it's all right. It's pretty good.

It's decent.

Sonya in?

Sonya in?

Yeah, she's here. She's upstairs.

- She's packing, mate.

- She all right?

She's leaving you, Frank.

She's leaving you.

For me.

- Get in there!

- Did you see that?

F***ing hell!

F***ing, how was that one, eh?

Ter-f***ing-rific!

- Yes, brilliant, wasn't it?

- Want a line?

Not right now, thanks. Cheers.

Frankie.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

I'm leaving you.

I'm gonna take the tiger.

That's mine.

And I want those ones,

obviously, because they're mine.

And you can have the sculpture

that your mother bought us.

Aren't you upset, Frankie?

Do you wanna say anything to me?

Anything at all?

Frankie!

Where the f***'s the album, Frank?

Where the f***

is the album, Frank?!

Where the f*** is the album?!

It smells like sh*t in here, Frank.

What the f***'s happened to you?

What the f*** happened

to you, Frank?

I don't know what this is.

I don't know what this is.

This is bullshit, Frank. This isn't

how you take on things, huh?

Listen...

Maybe this isn't the worst thing

in the world.

Take some f***ing time off.

Go in the sun for f***'s sakes, huh?

Eat a lot of fruit,

get some f***ing vitamins in you.

Vegetables and greens and sh*t.

I can't...

You know, there's...

I was reading yesterday...

...there's a fish,

it's called a zebra fish.

Has little hairs on it.

And somehow,

they can implant that...

I don't know.

It's too f***ing hot.

It's always too f***ing hot.

I can't help you.

I don't know how to...

I don't know how to help... - I don't

want to help you. I can't help you.

I didn't want a deaf DJ

on the label.

I didn't want the company to be

touched with the deaf stamp.

Well, business is tough...

...and sometimes you have

to make awkward decisions.

And I've made harder decisions

than dropping the deaf DJ.

Frank just locks himself up

in his room...

...didn't come out

of his villa for a long time.

He had this theory he was gonna

get his hearing back...

...by having complete silence. He

wanted to rest his ears completely.

He hired people to bring in supplies

for him to the villa.

The only accounts we have

of Frank during this period...

...come from various drug dealers.

He was in a very dark place.

I love you too.

- Where is Frankie Wilde today?

- What? I haven't...

I haven't talked to him

in almost a year now.

I've heard some stories. This guy

supposedly saw him in New York...

...wearing a garbage bag for a hat

and shoeboxes on his feet.

And he... And he had a rock...

...and he was trying to eat it

like a sandwich.

I don't...

I don't think Frankie would do that.

He looked like a bum.

He always looked like a bum.

But he had a really special bond

with the homeless.

Hello.

Hello?

Hello.

Is this where you come if you

want to learn how to read lips?

Of course. You want to learn?

I've got no idea

what you're saying, darling.

I can't hear anything.

This is the place, yeah?

They look like a couple of c*nts.

I don't know how to lip read.

Maybe you should

write something down.

I can't hear you, and I can't read lips.

So we need to get started somehow.

So, maybe, write something down.

Temper, temper.

Watch.

Concentrate.

Watch my lips.

Watch...

...lips.

Tongue.

Jaw.

One's facial expression...

...gesture.

Lip reading...

...is about seeing...

...feeling.

Fill in the blanks, Frank.

Stepdad.

Husband.

The quick brown fox.

- The.

- The.

- Quick.

- Quick.

- Brown.

- Brown.

- Fox.

- Fox.

- Jumps over the lazy...

- Over the lazy dog.

Faster.

The quick brown fox...

...jumps over the lazy dog.

Good.

Good.

F***ing good.

They all speak English here.

Don't worry.

Scotch neat, please, mate.

Double Scotch neat.

- Is that okay?

- It's very good.

See what he comes back with.

To my lips.

Cheers.

You and me got the same hobby.

Another one?

What can I get you?

Scotch neat, please.

Double Scotch again.

In England, it means "f*** off."

Very similar gesture.

F*** off. Double.

Double f*** off.

Waiter!

Double Scotch, please, mate.

No, more.

What do you want to drink to?

Do you want to drink to something?

Who's Simon?

Silence.

- Who is he?

- Not Simon, silence.

- Are you finished with him?

- Good.

Great.

I know what I could do.

I know what I could do.

I know what I could do.

F*** the DJ lark.

You know on TV,

you got a little ugly bird...

...bottom right-hand corner,

doing all this business?

I could do that.

I could be a cool one.

A cool little f***er

in the corner of the box. I could.

Think positively.

Yeah. "Are you going down

to Pacha tonight?"

"Oh, no, mate. No, I'm staying in

because Frankie Wilde's...

...at the right-hand bottom corner

of the TV tonight...

...doing the f***ing hand jive.

It'll be brilliant."

You finish?

You finish?

There's nothing wrong

with being deaf.

I'm deaf.

Trust your other senses.

Your sight,

your smell and your touch.

Just relax.

It will come.

It just takes time.

It will come.

Well, Frank's system was ingenious,

and with the weight of his sight...

...he proclaims that he began

to see a rhythm in everything...

...a pattern in the visual world

around him.

You know, could see music.

Frankie had worked with this

all his life...

...and then he realized

he was able to piece together...

...those sets

that he used to do. And...

Hey, presto, you know,

four to the floor, returneth.

I once stole 500 quid

from your wallet, in the studio.

Well...

...it's only money, eh? No big deal.

And it was me

who stuck that scaff bar...

...through the windscreen

of your Merc.

- It wasn't that Asian kid.

- Well, he's probably out now anyway...

...so no harm done.

I shagged Twila.

For three years.

Because you're a mate, yeah...

...I only ever made love

to her bum.

She doesn't like it in the bum.

Have a listen to this.

Tell me what you think.

Yeah?

Open the door! Frank!

Frank! Open the f***ing door!

Open the door! Frank!

Frank! Open the f***ing door!

Do you want some more coffee?

Frank! Frank! Open the door.

Open the f***ing door.

- So?

- Oh, Frank. Oh, God.

- Yeah?

- Oh, God, it's good,

- F***ing good.

- It's good?

Okay, it's f***ing hot.

First off, did you...? Who's this?

Max, this is Penelope.

Penelope, this is Max.

Hi, Max.

Hi.

Forget it.

Look, Did you mix this?

- Yeah.

- Did you produce this?

- Yeah.

- Oh, f***.

F*** it, Frank. It's gold.

F***ing gold.

It's beautiful.

Tell me! I haven't heard it.

It gets in your f***ing chest. I've never

heard nothing like it. F***ing:

Like f***ing heart. It changed...

What...? What do you mean you

haven't heard it? What do you mean?

Well, I haven't heard it.

Why?

I'm completely deaf, Max.

Completely?

Yeah.

Nothing.

To the handicapped.

Sorry.

The first time I heard
