Hear No Evil...

...I was like, you know, "Whatever."

But then Max told me

Frankie's story...

...and the penny dropped.

People love a good tragedy.

People love handicaps, frankly.

It gets them emotional, you know.

So I'll get on that deaf train

with a wheelchair ramp.

No problem.

First-class ticket, please.

I don't see why we should limit

ourselves to deaf people, really.

I don't want to reveal

too much either...

...about where we're going.

But it's gonna be big.

It's gonna be big,

and it's gonna be handicapped.

Imagine all the deaf people,

all the deaf people in the world.

Imagine all the deaf people,

all the deaf people in the world.

They need a f***ing hero, Frank.

They don't have a f***ing hero.

There's no deaf hero, huh?

It's you, Frank.

You're, like, the f***ing link.

You're drawing all the deaf kids

that are screaming, with no hearing.

They're yelling out to...

Who's gonna listen?

Not other f***ing deaf kids.

They can't hear, huh? You.

You're the f***ing voice, eh?

And wait.

Wait. You're gonna love this.

Can you hear me?

"No, I can't hear you, Max.

Are you trying to make me money?"

Yes. I'm making you money. Okay.

F***, look...

...that is just the f***ing beginning.

I wouldn't put my name to any

old product. If I could describe it...

...as bad speed in a can.

We've all had bad speed,

haven't we?

I'm just gonna have a sip.

I can't resist.

F***.

He made disabilities cool.

What's with the f***ing ear?

The ear, that represents

your deafness, okay.

Deaf people hate their ears, see.

Don't they? See?

So it's symbolic.

So you're gonna smash it.

The deaf kids are gonna go f***ing

nuts. Don't actually hit the ear...

...because I'll put some glass on that

and turn that into a table.

It's wank. I'm sucking

deaf cock for you, mate...

...and I'm f***ing choking on it.

- All right, first off, okay...

...you're sucking show-biz cock.

But look, this is gonna be

good money. This is all about cash.

Shitloads of cash, Frank.

And better than that...

...Sonya can't get her grubby fingers

on this f***ing money, understand?

- This is Sonya-free cash.

- He's not a whore!

Look, Frank, okay?

You're not giving me any

f***ing positive feedback.

I need f***ing... You know what really

f***ing bothers me about you?

The fact that you think art

just f***ing happens.

It's just free.

Like these people just took out...

...time from their f***ing day

to come down here...

...and do a bunch of sh*t for nothing.

What you gotta realize...

...is you're a hero.

That's what the yellow's about.

You make fun of me on that jacket.

I picked that jacket.

Deaf kids all over the world

are gonna see that yellow.

They'll run out, they'll buy that jacket.

Two, maybe $300.

They're gonna run around,

proudly deaf...

...all just yellow,

fluorescently deaf...

Sit down.

Charlize Bondo, Ibiza Beat.

Frankie, can you really DJ

as a deaf man?

How is that possible?

- They murmuring?

- Yeah, quite a bit.

I'm an honest man.

And I can tell you

that this album was made...

...completely without the aid

of my ears.

And at Pacha next week,

I'll be DJ'ing as a deaf man.

And if you don't believe me...

...you know, f*** you...

...because I've got nothing,

nothing to prove...

...to you sluts at all.

- Okay. Okay. Role model.

- Nothing.

- Wait a minute. Okay, role model.

Listen. Listen to me. No. No.

He loves sluts. Frank loves sluts.

Now, I think what

he's trying to say is...

...even though he feels

he has nothing to prove to you...

...he'd be happy to prove

anything you want, to you.

It's important that we all realize that

this is a major comeback from a rock.

You know, what he's accomplished

in the last few months is astonishing.

He'll be at the Pacha nightclub.

You can come down...

...and watch him mix yourself...

...and watch the miracle

happen, okay?

Because, you know, I realize, okay,

that there are doubters in this room...

...which fucks me up.

Because, you know...

...why would someone

pretend to be deaf?

I mean, that's retarded.

That's ridic...

It's not like he's f***ing benefiting

from this. It's a f***ing obstacle.

He can't hear a f***...

Your mom's a c*nt. Nothing.

Zero. Blank. This man,

what he's done, f***ing...

It gets me in my f***ing heart,

what he's done. And you...

You come down here, and you

put on this big f***ing show...

...like he's gonna

f***ing make sh*t up!

Relax. Relax, man.

All right. Next question.

One more! One more!

I thought it was amazing,

you know, that somebody...

...that's deaf can actually...

Can actually...

...you know, be a DJ.

- Frankie Wilde, good luck.

- Good luck.

I just think that guy is so fantastic.

He has a gift that no one else has.

And somehow, he is gonna do it.

Frankie! Frankie! Frankie! Frankie!

The vibe that night

was incredible.

All the memories had come back,

you know. He'd hit the depths...

...then he was just back.

Pacha, Frankie Wilde, comeback.

"Take this. Check this out."

I've never seen an atmosphere

like it. It was amazing.

Frankie! Frankie! Frankie!

He probably never thought

he'd ever feel that again.

And to come back

and actually feel that and more...

...it was a great experience.

Everybody in the room...

...shared the same experience.

It was really, really special.

It was kind of what

dance music's about, really.

He just had clubland sparking,

bigtime.

He just took the roof

off the place. It was amazing.

It was like

he was an even better DJ...

...as a deaf man than he'd

been before. It was incredible.

Frankie! Frankie!

We won it! Listen!

F***! We're the f***ing champions!

We got the f***ing award!

This is it.

This is our f***ing moment!

There's nothing... I can't... F***.

What do you wanna do,

buy the moon?

We'll buy the moon! Doesn't matter.

You don't understand, it's huge.

Hold on.

Okay, they're gonna come in.

Fifteen minutes.

They all wanna talk to you.

Fifteen minutes.

Fifteen minutes, Frank.

This is a big moment.

Listen, it's important.

Fifteen minutes. That's all they need.

Tomorrow,

big, f***ing press conference.

That's what we're gonna do.

Very important, okay?

- You have to watch.

- Max?

- What? What?

- Can you do me a favor, mate?

Anything. Anything.

Could you leave us alone

for 10 minutes?

No. See, you're not listening.

Okay, listen to me.

Look at my lips, okay? Okay?

They come in for 15 minutes

of your life. Fifteen minutes.

Fifteen f***ing minutes. Frank.

No, no, no, no. Frank, no.

No. Frank.

Frank, 10 minutes. Ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

Sure. Okay.

Yeah. F***ing sure.

What the f*** do I know?

Okay, now. All right, now.

Calm down.

Okay, you're getting in, buddy.

Don't worry.

You I used to like. All right.

You could do with some cheering up.

All right. Okay. Hold on. Okay.

Frankie?

Frankie!

Jesus Christ.

Frankie!

Frank! F***.

There was like a flat line.

It was...

Still, to this day, I'm...

That was it, gone.
