Mistaken for Strangers Page #2

Have you ever played

for this many people before?

Nope. No, it's going to be...

It's going to be weird.

It's going to be fun.

Why don't you just scream,

like, ahhh!

Like...

Yeah, maybe.

Go in the bathroom

and shut the door.

I'll go in here.

I was thinking, you know,

Lynyrd Skynyrd, when he died?

Well, I don't know-- the guy,

not "Leonard" himself.

They had his brother

take over for the band.

So...

This could be a...

He is my...

Seriously, man, talk about

riding his coattails.

Literally, right now,

I'm riding about

eight coattails.

Two minutes, everyone!

So yeah.

Are you rolling?

Double decker bus.

Hello?

London.

So, how famous

do you think you are?

Aaa...

Not very famous.

Like, this famous.

What was that?

What were you holding

in your hands?

No, I meant, like,

a small amount of fame.

Are you asking

in terms of US Weekly fame?

Like celebrity?

Because we're not,

we're not, really famous...

You are way more famous

than any of my friends.

That's? Okay, I--

Just stand right there.

Okay.

You know,

this is good too because I need

more handsome shots

of you in the hood.

Whose chairs are those?

Umm? Not sure.

I just want to move them

over there for now.

Just like over here?

Aaaannnd good.

Don't sit on that.

Just 'cause...

Where do you see The National

in 50 years?

Fifty years?

I think, forty years.

I think, I don't know...

in 40 years,

I think we will be done.

Really?

In 40 years from right now?

That would be, like,

being a band

for 50 years, I think.

I don't know if any band

has been a band for 50 years.

The Rolling Stones.

Well, okay, but, like seriously.

I always kinda wondered,

do you have wallets?

Do you carry wallets

on stage with you?

Your ID when you're playing?

Do you have your ID on you?

Actually I do, yes.

That's just weird to me.

Warm up.

I am.

Why don't you button up?

I'm trying to.

Here, I'll take

your jackets, everybody.

Tom said he'll take the jackets.

On my arm.

Thank you.

I stock the buses every night.

But there's always something

one band member doesn't have.

Like a stick of

"Toberone" chocolate.

You know?

It's like, what?

You didn't ask

for Toberone last week.

You know. And it's not even on the rider.

But I was supposed to pick--

Even though that venue had

Toberone on the counter,

I didn't know you really

wanted it in the bus.

And I'm not going to take

every single piece of food

that's in your dressing room

and also put Reynold's Wrap

over it,

and stick it on the bus.

I like how he always says--

He acts all impatient,

and acts like he doesn't like

going to these photo shoots,

but I know he actually does.

Look at him.

I swear.

I like a good tuck.

It's nice in here, isn't it?

Good show, Matt.

It's been amazing.

But it's just

that I'm feeling...

It's just weird.

It's not what I thought

it would be.

And sometimes,

Matt walks off stage,

and doesn't even recognize me.

He's got this glazed over

look in his eyes.

I think he has to go to

this weird zone sometimes,

to deliver the show.

You should never

take it personally.

It's the job.

Yeah, I know, it's a job.

Ohhh! Nice one!

That's how you do it.

I don't know.

I think we should all

be hanging out more.

We might want to make this

a hard alcohol night.

No, no, no!

That's verboten.

We got some Jager in there.

No, no.

You've got the allergy.

No, I don't.

You've got the f***ing allergy.

Have I had the allergy--

Yes!

Have I been on this tour

and had the allergy?

Have you fallen down

in a bodega,

and knocked over the chips rack.

Guilty. Guilty.

That's why you have

to stay away from the whiskey.

Tip your head over

the top of the thing.

Yes.

It doesn't leave a lot

to the imagination,

but we can always blur it out.

Don't worry about that.

You and Scott seem to be

the two members of the band

who actually live

a Rock & Roll lifestyle,

from my observations.

What's the question?

How many like-- how--

What kind of...

if you've done drugs?

What kind of drugs

and how many drugs

have you done?

I don't mean to pry.

Okay. Umm...

They seem so coffee house

and yet you seem more metal.

I just want to have fun on tour.

I just want to...

you know.

I mean, I'm with a rock band,

I kinda want to feel...

It kind of disappoints me

that there isn't

more crazy stuff going on.

Yeah.

You know how, yesterday,

we asked for more beer

and a bottle of tequila?

I just want you to know

we pay for all that.

I know. I'm aware. I'm--

Just keep it in mind

that everything we use,

we pay for.

Okay.

Just keep that in mind.

That's all I wanted to say.

Party's over.

Gotcha. Good, good call.

Have you done the towels?

Yes. I got all those

ready for ya.

- Wine bucket?

- Yup.

- Water bottles?

- Yup.

- Everything's cool?

- Everything's cool.

Brandon for Tom.

I need towels and water bottles.

Tom, I thought you did this.

Brandon

just yelled at me earlier.

I know he's got to be stressed.

Why did he yell at you?

For doing this.

For just filming.

I feel like the only reason

why he thinks I'm on tour,

is because I'm your brother.

Here's the truth,

the only reason you are here

is because you're my brother.

That's not tr--

Well, that is true,

but there are other reasons

why I'm here, too!

Here's my point.

You wouldn't be here

if you weren't my brother.

But we need you here

and I'm glad you're here.

You just have to make sure

that all that other stuff

is taken care of.

You're like the new guy,

that doesn't really know

what he is doing,

to be perfectly honest.

I know what I'm... I'm just...

Why are you taking

his side over mine?

I'm not taking sides, Tom.

Just turn the camera off.

This whole thing is...

It's weird that I'm even here.

I don't even know

what I'm doing here.

I think that's Moby's house?

Where?

Up on that hill.

That castle-y looking thing,

with the white turrets

and stuff.

How do you know?

There was a New York

Times online real estate tour.

I swear that's it.

Looks super familiar.

Hey, Moby!

Don't

yell at the f***ing neighbors!

You drink all the time!

But when you get started,

you don't stop.

I'm just saying be careful.

You get on the slope,

and you slide down the slope,

and you don't turn around.

That's why I was telling you

before we left on tour...

Whatever.

You seem fine, but slow down.

You've got the allergy.

Okay.

Not from me.

All of our guests are out there?

Okay. We are still

figuring out our bass guitar.

Don't worry.

We'll get it together.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Did somebody say something

to you?

Nothing. It's fine.

Can I have,

literally, two minutes?

The show sucked...

It was fine.

I thought it was okay.

No, it sucked.

Do you want to go get

something to eat?

Matt!

I need to see the footage

of this film you're working on.

Okay. Yeah.

I'll get it to you.

I'll get it to you.

Okay.

Is it for any clearances

or anything? Or is it just...
