Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding Page #4

---

Calm down.

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

Did the patron saint of uptight

just tell me to calm down?

- Mom, where are you going?

- I'm going into town

to print some documents.

- Can I get a ride?

- Where?

- The coffee shop.

- Sure.

- Never gonna happen.

- Yo, yo!

You're gonna need this, huh?

Go.

Hi.

- Hello.

Want a bite?

- No, thank you.

- May I?

- Yeah.

- "I asked love this morning

where it hides,

"and it said,

'Open your hands

and open your eyes."'

Scribble, scribble,

scribble, scribble.

Looks like you're suffering

from the ancient pain

of halted tongue.

- Well, if you mean

"writer's block," then yeah.

- Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

Open your hands.

Ask the goddess to bring you--

- I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

- Every good writer knows

that the root of inspiration

is spirit.

You need a muse.

Perhaps our lovely Cole, hmm?

- Oh, no.

He's too barbaric to be a muse.

- Oh, well,

we must not be talking

about the same man then,

because the Cole I know

is kind and loyal

and community-minded.

You have to be able

to look deep into a man

to know the nature of his heart.

And to look deep, you--

you have to have love.

And you,

my precious nightingale,

if you are not open

to the possibility of love,

then you can never truly be

a poet of it.

- Woodstock specialty:

salted hot chocolate.

So how's your movie going?

- It's still coming together.

- What's it about again?

- I'm not sure yet.

I'm kind of letting

the film come to me.

- Sounds avant-garde.

- Yeah, it probably is.

Avant-garde.

- Hey, there's a music festival

this weekend.

You should totally film it,

and I could help you out

if you wanted.

- What about your...boyfriend?

Will he be cool with it?

- Um, my boyfriend?

- Yeah, um, at the party,

I saw you with a guy.

- Oh, you mean Pete.

God, no way.

We're--

We're totally just friends.

- Sweet!

I mean, yeah.

In that case, I could--

I could definitely film it.

I could do some serious filming.

- Cool.

So what do you think?

- Pretty salty.

- Said the nun to the sailor.

# How happy that would be #

- What I'm saying is,

it's good to keep the lights on,

especially if you're flying

a little high.

- Why the lights?

- Check for crabs, gonorrhea.

- Dude, ugh...

- Hey, VD is no laughing matter.

Let's see...

- Why do you have so much

men's clothing?

- I did wardrobe for

an improv group in the '80s.

Do you carry a condom?

- A condom?

Uh, no.

I don't need protection.

- Well, that's where

you're wrong.

- I mean, me and girls,

we just don't...

Like, girls and I,

we don't...

- Oh, okay.

I thought you were

hot for Tara.

You need protection

for boys too.

- What?

Wha--no!

No, no, no, no.

I mean--I mean,

girls don't want to...

With me,

not that I don't want to...

With girls.

- Oh, it's called "making love."

Call it by its name.

It's a beautiful thing.

- Making love.

- That's right.

And you have your whole life

ahead of you

to find out about it.

You know you're gorgeous.

- I'm kind of a geek.

- Oh, that's just

a state of mind.

You need transformation

and color.

Look at this.

Color is the key

to transformation.

Yeah.

- Fresh-squeezed lemonade, $2!

Fresh-squeezed lemonade!

- Veggie burritos!

Tofu dogs

and veggie burritos...

- It's so hot outside.

# Turn back your heart #

# To the day #

# That we met #

# My love's not through #

# With you yet #

- Cosmic forces

inside of you...

- Yeah, yeah, man.

- Mom, can I go take a walk?

- If you stay where

I can see you, you may.

- What?

# Seems like yesterday #

# When we took this track #

- Hey.

I thought

you were leaving today.

- I was, but Zoe and Jake

wanted to stay.

- I'm glad you made it.

Are you enjoying the music?

- I'm tolerating it.

Well, that's a start.

I'll see you around?

- Sure.

- Yeah?

Good.

- "Zoe and Jake

wanted to stay"?

- Oh.

# The day that we met #

# My love's not through #

# With you yet #

# Oh, don't forget #

# Oh, don't forget #

# Oh, don't forget #

- Hi!

- Hey.

- Why are you dressed

like that?

- My grandma said every peacock

has to flaunt its feathers.

- Ah.

My grandma hates the way

I dress.

She lives in Ohio.

- That sucks.

- So...

Do you like birds?

- Yeah.

Yeah, they're all right.

# My love's not through #

# With you yet #

- Oh, come on,

don't act like that.

- Like what?

- Like I killed your puppy.

# My love's not through #

# With you yet #

# Oh, don't forget #

Thank you!

- Whoa!

- Thank you, thank you,

thank you, thank you!

Whoo!

Oh, this is

so totally awesome!

Look at you!

All these beautiful people

in this--

in this beautiful place.

Oh, my Lord.

- You're beautiful!

- So are you, baby.

So now to open our second set,

I want to introduce you

to one of the most favorite men

I ever knew:

Jude Fisher!

Whoo!

- Hey, Grace.

Mwah.

Hey, everybody!

How about this day?

All right, listen,

I met somebody the other day

who I think is, um,

exceedingly special,

and if you'd all indulge me,

I'd really like

to bring her up onstage

to help kick off

the first song.

Diane.

Come on up here.

All right, now,

Diane seems a wee bit shy,

so maybe we can show her

a little love

and give her a little support?

- Come on!

- Holy sh*t.

- Whoo!

Go, girl!

Whoo!

- There we go!

I'm gonna kill you.

- Hey.

I know you are.

# I pulled into Nazareth #

# I was feeling about

half past dead #

# I just need some place #

# Where I can lay my head #

# Hey, mister,

can you tell me #

# Where a man

might find a bed? #

# He just grinned

and shook my hand #

# And no was all he said #

# Take a load off, Annie #

# Take a load for free #

# Take a load off, Annie #

- # And... #

- # And... #

# Put your load

right on me #

- Whoo!

- Yeah!

both:
# I picked up my bag #

# Went looking

for a place to hide #

# When I saw

Carmen and the devil #

# Walking side-by-side #

# I said,

Hey, Carmen #

# Come on, let's go downtown #

# She said,

I got to go #

# But my friend

can stick around #

# Take a load off, Annie #

# Take a load for free #

# Take a load off, Annie #

- # And... #

- # And... #

# You can put your load

right on me #

- Oh!

both:
# Take a load off,

Annie #

# Take a load for free #

# Take a load off, Annie #

- # And... #

- # And... #

both:
# You put your load

right on me #

Hey!

- Hey.

- Whoo!

Whoo!

- Let's hear it for Diane!

- Whoo!

- You okay?

- Um, my mom just made out

with a stranger in public,

and she's not even

divorced yet.

Sorry.

- What are you apologizing for?

- I don't know.

I should be too modern

or whatever

to care about something as banal

as divorce is,

but I feel really bad

about it,

and she doesn't

acknowledge it.

She just expects me

to hop on board,

and that really pisses me off.

- It can't be easy for her.

- I know this is gonna sound

immature,

but it'd be really helpful

if you didn't take her side

right now.

God.

I so don't want to be here.
