Mistaken for Strangers Page #3

I think we're all

a little concerned.

I mean, I'd like to make sure

we don't have

any clearance issues.

But we're also

a little concerned

how the band is going

to come off looking in this.

Who's been asking about me?

Nobody. Nobody yet.

Okay.

Okay.

You know, I'm just concerned.

No worries. No worries.

You'll see a cut ASAP.

- Okay.

- Alright.

I've been hearing

that there's been some doubt,

or concern about my abilities.

I want to show you

my chops here.

This is just something simple

I did a little while ago.

I don't want to tell you

too much about it now.

We'll talk about it afterwards.

And now, I have the pleasure

of introducing

one of our great

musical guests tonight.

Give it up for The National!

Guys, we have to move

everyone out.

Anyone who is not

getting a click

has to move down the hall.

See you later, guys.

Was that him?

I can't stand here?

Can I stand right here?

They don't want anybody

in front of these doors.

Damn it.

I'm sorry you didn't get

to meet the president.

They only vetted the five of us

for whatever reason.

It's not like

we could complain about that.

If-- whatever.

If there's an opportunity

again in the future,

I will try to get you

to meet the President.

Did they even do

a background check?

They probably did

a background check

and found I had a DUI

from ten years ago.

No, they didn't do that.

They didn't even

check you at all.

And I'm sure it had

nothing to do with your DUI.

I feel like

I'm on the outside of his world,

looking in, you know?

And even though there was

a huge age difference

growing up,

it was never like that.

I know he likes me

as his little brother.

And he would do

fun things with me.

He would take me to movies

and force me to go fishing.

Anyway's...It's...

Sometimes I think,

he never really understood me.

You were the weird, artsy kid.

Yeah. I was more-- I was like...

And he was like

the golden boy, the quarterback.

Yes. Exactly.

I felt like,

I think differently.

Matt has it easy.

He's got thousands of people

reminding him

of how brilliant

he is every night.

Of course, you might feel

a little jealous of that.

Maybe your relationship

is suffering.

But I think Matt's got

a lot in his life.

He's gone from working a job

to being a rock star.

There's a shift there.

It's hard to know,

I always say

that what he has to do,

is a lot harder

than what we have to do.

- Are you okay?

- Are you comfortable with these--

Yeah, it's cool.

I mean, I'm a little,

sort of, perplexed

because you guys said

you wanted to get me

into the movie

and talk about me.

But it seems like you're just...

Yes!

...want to talk about Matt.

It's normal.

Most people, a lot of people,

just ask questions about Matt.

No, that's okay.

No, you're-- I'm-- Alright.

You kinda got to get

your sh*t together a little bit.

I'm happy

you're on tour with us.

I have no problem...

I'm happy you are trying

to make this movie.

But, you got to remember

you're not--

I'm just getting exposure here.

I have no problem sharing

a hotel room with you,

but for example,

when I get up

in the middle of the night

and go to the bathroom,

and there's cereal and milk

on the floor

of the f***ing bathroom,

of the hotel room.

Wait, are we going to do a--

It's irritating.

You couldn't wipe it up

with a towel?

I did wipe it up with a towel!

Why did I go in there

at one in the morning,

and I'm stepping

and almost fall in milk?

Were you eating in the dark?

Your wet bathing suit

was hanging off the table

in the lounge of the bus.

Like, 12 people

live on this bus.

You can't hang

your wet bathing suit.

Where were you swimming?

Where are you going?

I'm just standing up.

I'm just..

I'm a little..

I feel like I'm free falling

a little bit here.

Well then, pull out of it!

You have to come up

with some kind of idea

for this movie.

Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

I just need a shot of you.

Can you look up?

Look away.

Look intense into the camera!

Look away.

Okay now act like you just

got a really good idea!

Have a thought like...

Wait a second!

Do that.

And say, wait a second.

Wait a second!

He's not perfect, you know.

Yeah, no, he's not perfect.

I don't know.

He frustrates me at times,

and then other times,

he surprises you.

And it's like anybody.

Nobody's perfect.

Has he ever blown up?

Has he ever lost

his temper with you?

Yes.

I'm going to grab myself

some wine.

Explain into the camera

how much--

I'll have some wine.

Explain in the camera

how much...

And I'm listening.

Well, when we were trying

to finish Boxer.

It was the song,

Apartment Story.

This is what caused it.

The original vocal was

the first scratch vocal

that had this real

effortless, almost sleepy...

Thanks.

...vibe to it.

And he re-did the vocal

one day,

and I really in my heart

it was like, "It's wrong."

And I couldn't shut up about it.

I didn't realize

how angry he was getting,

and at some point,

a switch flipped,

and I saw blood in his eyes.

And he just tore my head off

and it's actually frightening

when he gets angry.

It's terribly frightening.

Because he steam rolls you.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry, go ahead.

I don't want to pile it on Matt.

But anyway's, so I left.

No, pile it on.

It's too loaded,

you guys as brothers.

You're too set in your

ancient patterns of behavior

as brothers.

You're the underdog.

He's the dominating alpha male.

You're not going to win.

Do you want me to just

bring them drinks and then--

No, no, no.

They're not going to

want to walk into a room

with a camera on.

So I don't think

you should film.

Put the camera down.

That's bullshit!

Just for tonight.

I'm f***ing filming them!

I've been on tour for,

like, eight months.

Nothing's f***ing happened

until some television stars

on TV show that I watch...

It's going to be f***ing awesome

to put them in the movie!

When people who are

getting spotted all the time,

celebrities, walk into a room,

And, without them knowing,

there is a live camera on them,

it's just--

I'm f***ing filming them, Matt.

- I'm filming them.

- They just want to relax.

I just want to relax.

Please, does that make sense?

Tom! How's it going?

We met outside.

We're almost

two hours out of town

and Brandon, wakes me up

and says,

"Dude!

Your brother's not here!"

You were an hour

out of town actually.

Don't film this!

Put the camera down!

Somebody looks in your bunk

and Tom's not in there!

We looked.

Nobody has any idea.

Brandon was furious.

I was super worried!

Where were you?

Who were you with?

I was with Bryan and Scott!

They were on the bus!

They made it back for bus call

like you're supposed to.

Put the camera down!

Who leaves friends at a bar?

They should have been,

"Hey Tom, we're leaving."

No one did that.

You're not their responsibility!

You're a f***ing adult!

I was just having a good time!

What did he say?

I'm sorry. We have to go.
