- Are you going to sleep now. | - Yep.

Just be quiet.

But I'm not sleepy.

Well I am!

- You want to kiss more? | - No!

- You sure? | - Yes.

The guy, actually, the guy we just | saw, that guy John that we just saw...

We're gonna go on... I want | to do a small tour with him.

- Oh really? Where are you gonna go? | - I don't know. We did West Coast, sort of...

...but it's kind of pathetic when we | go, because we don't have any money...

...or anywhere to stay or anything.

But we wanna do...

...we wanna do south now. We wanna go...

I definitely wanna hit St. Louis because | I've never been there and I wanna go...

- I'm from St. Louis. | - Oh really?

Yeah!

- I didn't know that. | - Yeah. So, you thinking about playing there?

- Yeah. | - You should let me...

...know because I'd love to come | see you play there.

- Oh yeah? | - I don't know. That would be cool...

...to see you there. And you guys could | probably stay in my parents house.

- Ok. | - I mean...

...because, you were saying it's | hard to find places to stay.

- Yeah. | - It's just an offer, but...

...it would be cool to see, I mean.

Well, I'll see... I'll talk to... The guy.

Actually, I wanna ask you if you | wanna do something really quick.

It's kind of weird. | It's not that weird, it's just...

...if you can record some audio | and some video for me.

- What kind of audio and video? | - I want you to make noises into a camera.

This is what I'm doing: I wanna | make this album of just...

...these songs where I'm doing... Taking | noises of people just making any noise...

...that they think of when a mic | is in front of them...

...and they have to make a noise. So can I | shoot your face just making noises now?

- I've filmed a lot of people doing it. | - I believe you, I believe you.

Sure, sure.

There's no wrong way to do it.

Ok. No wrong way.

No wrong way to do it.

You're ready. Start whenever?

Yeah, start whenever.

Do some short ones.

I don't know what to do.

That one was awesome. | I'm definitely using that.

You want me to keep going?

Yeah, a couple more, just a little more.

Make it all manner of timbers and loudnesss.

- Is that good? | - Yeah, that's perfect.

No, I'm not making fun of you or anything...

...everybody's ridiculous when they do this.

Yeah. I can imagine.

I guess I'm gonna go. | So I will email you or something.

Ok... Or you can call me. Sometimes I | don't get to the computer that much.

Oh, ok.

You don't like computers, huh?

No, it's... I don't have... I just moved | and I don't have Internet...

...so, I just go to like the library like...

- Once every week and a half. | - Once a week you get your email?

Yeah.

All I get is crap email, anyway. | So it's not like...

Ok, than I won't email you.

I mean, you can email me just to be safe.

I get my email like a | couple of times an hour.

- Are you serious? | - Yeah.

- Mr. Popular! | - No, no. It's nobody there, I just get it.

I didn't say I was getting | anything. I'll call you but...

I'll email you and if you don't | get it then it's your fault.

Thanks, that makes me feel real good.

Well, email me. If I don't respond in | a while, then...

...just give me a ring-a-ling... Ding.

You should've made that noise | on the video, ring-a-ling-ding.

Ring-a-ling-ding.

Ok, on ring-a-ling-ding I'm gonna get going.

Ok, I'll see you later, ok? Bye.

I don't think I'm being a jerk.

I think I'm just asking for something that's | normal and healthy and a good thing...

...and I'd rather like talk to you | while doing this rather than...

...go on the computer and look at porn...

I think that's shitty and makes | me feel really crappy about myself...

Greta, like... what?

I want you to. But I want you to want it | also. I don't want me to be the only one.

How is that impossible that two people | just both want to like do that...

...and, like, talk to one another.

I know you're not here. That's the | whole point. That's why I want it...

I wouldn't want it if you were here.

You're not here emotionally, well...

I don't know.

I mean, it's like with the | pictures, Greta. You know, like...

...when I asked for them I thought | you would send stuff that would be... Sexy.

I don't know.

I know you're naked. But they're | just not that... Sexy.

They feel like...

...cold and forced. If you had to do it, | you were doing it for me.

I don't know. They're just... You're | always... They're very coy and...

...suggestive and... I don't know... | they're not...

Well, it's sexy to you. I don't think | that's necessarily sexy...

I think you'd be more explicit if they | were sexy. I don't know, I haven't...

...physically like...

What?

Yeah, but I'd rather look at it | then look at porn because...

...yes, you are my girlfriend | and it's you and it's...

I want it to be something that I can look | at and think about you and think about us...

...and have it be sexual and explicit.

I'm not being a jerk, I didn't do anything.

It's not never good enough, | I'm saying it can be good enough...

...if you... Just try a little harder with it.

So, it will never work out and will never | be good and we should never do it again...

...and like ever talk about it. We shouldn't | even have sex again, that's fine...

I'm not being dramatic. | I'm just being serious.

We just don't need to have | a sex life at all anymore...

...whenever we do it one of us will always | just feel bad about it afterwards and...

...we shouldn't do that. Greta?

HI my love. It's me.

I'm In a slump today again.

I feel like these days are all slumped.

But I did my laundry... which Is good...

...and I gotta go get a fan...

...cause It's hot as balls In my room.

But... Give me a call...

I think I'm In a slump cause | I'm not exercising right now.

You know how that works for me.

Anyway, I will call you soon, bye.

You want one? There's one right there.

You gettin' all of 'em?

- That was awesome, I'm definitely using that. | - Do you want me to keep going?

You guys want to see this instrument?

- Yes. | - It has two styles.

Styles are:
Bad Jackson Pollock.

Bad tattoos.

First let me find something good | and then we can start.

Ok. Now we can all play | and see what it does.

See if it works now with the...

If you touch that like that...

...and now touch me.

- This is where I cut myself. | - On the instrument?

Actually, I have two cuts. | They're like twins. I should marry them.

Middle finger cut? Do you take index | finger cut to be your lawfully wedded cut?

To have and to cut even | if you both should scab up.

- Thanks for bringing them over, it was fun. | - Yes, it was fun, wasn't it.

You can just play these things for hours. | They're really fun.

I like to play them at night alone. But it's | sometimes fun to play them with people too.

Do you have any more shows coming up soon?

Oh yeah, actually... That tour I was | telling you about. We got the tour going.

Did you ever get a show in St. Louis?
