Hey baby... Miss you a lot.

So this is a little present to | you from me, and I hope you like it.

Tim...

Tim...

Hey...

I'm not... I'm just...

I'm just working on some music and stuff.

Are you here right now?

Yeah... I... Let me just... | I'll be out there in just a second.

I just gotta...

...finish up something. I'll be right...

Just come down the stairs. | I'll go to the door.

Ok.

So...

I hope you liked that and...

...remember it's for your eyes only. So...

...top secret. Bye.

What were you doing last | Saturday that you weren't here?

I actually had to help Ada...

- Move some stuff. | - Move apartments?

- Yeah, move apartments. | - Well that sucks.

She's been moving for like a month but | Saturday was the official big move.

It doesn't really matter | cause I was actually just working.

Working on instruments | and building so...

It's going ok?

One of these days when I'm rich I'm | gonna buy all of your instruments.

What are you going to do with them?

Play 'em.

So what am I doing here?

Basically, I just want you to...

I'm just gonna videotape your | face making noises.

With your mouth.

For some music.

- Yeah that sounds fine. | - That's fine?

People are doing... | tons of people are doing...

The girl from the internet did it.

Yeah, that's her tape. Right there.

Tessa video...

Yeah, I've been talking | with her for like three months.

She sent me a video.

What's the video?

Well, the first part of the video | is the noises that you're gonna do.

A lot of people from the internet | are sending me noises...

...of their face making noises.

Oh she did this?

Yeah, she did it, and then | she put some other stuff on there.

What other stuff?

It's some stuff.

I'm getting to know her really | well. I really like her.

We've been emailing a lot.

All I know is that I like her and maybe | I'll get to meet her some day.

She hasn't talked to me about...

Have you ever met one of | your Internet girlfriends?

I've never had any Internet girlfriends.

She's not your girlfriend?

I don't know what she is. | There's not a word, man.

You want her to be your girlfriend?

Just make noises with your mouth.

Any noise that you would think | to make naturally.

Any noise that pops into your head. | With your mouth.

Ok.

Clear, right? Easy.

- That's a good video. | - Let's watch it.

No. We're not watching it.

You're not watching it. Give it to me.

Until... Later.

- Is it rolling? | - No not rolling yet.

- You wanna see yourself or no? | - No.

Ok.

I'll be back in a couple of minutes.

Hey what's up man?

You coming home this summer?

Mouth related noises.

Take one.

I don't really know what you | want me to do as far as noises go.

Do you know how long it | takes to get to the airport?

- From where? | - From here.

By car.

By car? What time?

His flight gets in at | 7:40. That's when it lands.

I would leave maybe at 6...

...or soon after. 6:15.

I feel like there's a lot of traffic | in the morning.

So if he was gonna be outside at like 8...

...you would leave at like 6:30?

Yeah. I think so.

Ok. Will you help me to get up at 6?

So that means I'm gonna have to get up?

Just don't turn it off and | go back to sleep...

- if I'm still... | - Ok, I'll try.

Thank you.

Are you ready to go?

I'm wearing my swim suit under my shorts.

Ok. I just have to finish | changing, then let's go?

Speaking of bathing suits, I got a new one.

But I'm not sure that I like it.

What's wrong with it?

Nothing. Just don't know.

Don't know what?

I don't know... if I like it that much.

So, what do you think?

Let me see it.

What does the bottom look like?

Same.

Is it like shorts, like square | shorts or like bathing suits bottoms?

Like a bathing suit bottom.

Ok... well what are you doing?

I am finishing...

...up a short conversation...

...that I will be done with right... Soon.

You can't leave without me. I'm driving.

Well come on!

I'm already going to | the beach with you... Sheesh!

I write. I do sales. I do comedy.

A little bit everything. | Trying to figure it out myself.

Trying to balance pay check | and passion like everybody.

And it's going pretty well so far.

Kind of like our hot little date here.

It's fine that I can come pick you up...

I wish you hadn't chosen the | earliest flight known to man.

Check it out. The coolest | thing is happening right now.

I'm sitting here on a beach and...

Ada is like 30 feet away | talking with this dude.

It's this f***ing dude with a...

...with a sleeveless shirt and cargo pants.

She's just doing it to piss me off.

She's failing to make me mad which | is then making her even more mad.

I guess if I keep pushing it maybe | she'll go home with him tonight.

Do you think I can touch sea gull feathers?

- What? | - Do you think I can touch sea gull feathers...

...or are they gross?

Well, I mean, that's | pretty unsurprising, right?

It's what?

I know I should know. I know.

I wish I could still be there.

I don't know. It's going to be | a while before I see you again.

I know, I know. You're | like busy with work and stuff.

Right.

Really?

They use what?

Hey everybody, it's Tessa at | Young American Bodies.

Come check out pictures of me and my hot | friends, blogs, message board...

...anything you want.

Button... There's a new video.

Shall I save this one?

No, there is no way I can make it tonight.

Why didn't you tell me | about it until just now?

You gotta tell me more than like | three hours before you play...

...or else I'm never gonna be able to make it.

Because I'm a busy man.

There is no way I can go.

I'm sitting in my car outside of Chris' | house. We're about to go to dinner.

Chris and Ada. They don't want to | go to your show, dude.

- Hey! I'm Ada. | - I'm Chris.

- Nice to meet you. | - Nice to meet you.

So you're just here for the summer?

In Misra's living room?

It ain't gonna happen. | There's no way I'm gonna convince them.

- Oh, how do you like New York? | - It's great.

- You gonna let me know earlier, dude. | - And what are you doing here this summer?

- When are you playing next? | - I'm just home you know, living at home.

Do you have a job?

Where would you guys go? Just do it, | like, just get a van...

...it's like an internship, it's ok.

...and drive places?

So basically...

...tour stops will be determined by where | your different Internet girlfriends live?

So what else?

What else what?

Is that the only reason you're going there?

- What do you mean? | - I don't know. What else do you do for fun?

I don't know. I like to hang out with people.

- Tim's pretty great. | - Yeah.

- What is that yeah? | - I don't know.

- You don't know. I think you know. | - I don't know.

Bye.

Sorry.

But I can do that here, so...

This mic is so bad. If | I touch it feeds back.

That can be way lower.

How about that?

Ok. Little better now, little better.

Thanks.

- What do you use them for? | - Audio connectors.

It's a magic bag, it has every...

...possible to connect every audio | device to every other audio device.
