This is the place, okay?

- He's got to let us audition.

- No, he doesn't.

He will, though. Come on.

We better not have come out here

for nothing. I'm not going back home.

- We'll get it.

- How do you know we're gonna get it?

- Nobody needs it more than us.

- Yeah, plus, if you...

Good job.

Good job, Billy.

Uh, hello? Is anybody home?

We're here.

I don't think we should be in here.

Yeah. You know,

what if someone's here?

- I saw a place just like this in a magazine.

Come on, dog.

This is nice.

Forget the audition.

Let's load the van.

I could get used to this.

Jesus Christ. Look at these gold records.

Who is this guy?

God, you know which Falcon this is?

This is Martin Falcon.

He wrote a lot of, like,

really popular stuff, like, 20 years ago.

- Well, he's not here right now.

- Well, let me check it out.

- Let's make breakfast.

- Yeah, let's do something.

You know,

we got in here and everything.

I feel like we should have a...

What do you call it? Of the occasion?

- Memento.

- Yeah. Right. A memento.

- So what should we take?

- This.

This.

- Oh, come on, Billy, that's stealing.

- Yeah, don't you love it?

Oh, Billy.

I would like to thank the Academy

for recognizing genius when they see it.

Unfortunately, I have no one else

to thank for this but myself.

Thank you so much.

Damn fish.

Plain just out of fish there.

Uh, where...

Where am I? What...?

What's going on here?

I think you're in your living room.

Oh, sh*t.

I'm being robbed again, aren't I?

Hamlet. Hamlet.

Hey. Go. Kill.

Go on, kill.

Kill. Go on, kill.

What have you done to my dog?

You broke my dog.

You have a really lovely home, sir.

- Thank you.

- Yeah. This is a really nice piano.

- Do you live here alone?

- Yup.

- Wh...? What's the number to the police?

Thank you.

Wait a minute, jack. Before you talk

to the cops, could you just write:

- Hello.

- "Dear Billy, I'll never forget last night"?

Hello? Hello?

- Was that you?

Hey, uh...

You're not Martin Falcon, are you?

Who the hell are you people?

I'm Jennie Lee.

We're here for the audition.

Audition.

It is 4:
00 in the goddamn morning.

- Yeah. Sorry we're late.

Late?

You people are 14 hours early.

The auditions start tomorrow.

Tonight... Tomorrow.

You know what I mean.

That's just great, Jennie.

I guess I got the wrong date.

Right. All of you.

Come on. Out. Go on.

Go out. Come back tomorrow,

or tonight, or later, whenever it is.

What?

We got nowhere to go.

Oh, God. Oh, say it isn't.

This isn't it. Say it.

This is not the room you're talking about

in your ad that says:

- "Room and board included," right?

- Oh, yes. The same.

This is worse than my room.

I can't spend a summer

in a place like this.

Well, don't get ahead of yourselves.

The job isn't yours yet.

Not by a long shot.

Beds, mattresses.

Goodbye.

Daryle.

So wait a minute.

Where's he gonna sleep?

- In here. What do you mean?

- Well, if he were a gentleman...

...he'd sleep out in the van.

- What kind of gentleman...

...sleeps in a truck?

- Good point.

Look. Look,

you have to change outside.

You stay out there until we're done

changing here, you got that?

Why? I mean, you know, if you're

so modest you should change outside.

What if half of us change inside,

half of us change outside...

...and Nickie changes on the roof.

- Look, nobody's going outside.

We're all in the same boat.

Let's respect our privacy.

I ain't taking off my clothes

in front of him.

Don't be so stupid.

- Everybody wants to go to sleep.

- I don't give a sh*t. I ain't doing it.

- I can't believe you're acting like this.

- Hey, where are you going?

Hey, don't do me any favors.

- What's that pink stuff they're drinking?

- I don't know.

Man, what planet is this?

We'd better not blow

this audition. This place is heaven.

If this is heaven,

then what are you doing here?

Oh, Billy, you're so funny.

If this is heaven, Daryle,

you're a little underdressed.

You think so?

Hey. I still wonder

how come they call you Mooch.

Because they do.

Well, I mean, why?

It's kind of an unusual name.

Did you get it

when you were a kid or something?

- No.

- Oh.

- You been playing drums a long time?

- Look.

Do I look like

the Shell Answer Man to you, or what?

- Hi, guys.

- Hi.

Listen. These guys, The Blow Fish...

...and the group before them,

The Stove Heads.

Well, I'm...

I'm thinking it's between them.

- I think they suck.

- Wait a minute, you... You're saying...

...you already made up your mind?

- Yeah, yeah. I've made up my mind.

- That's what I'm saying. Sorry.

- Yeah, whoa, whoa, Falcon.

We're better than these guys, all right?

We have come a long way.

We deserve our shot up there.

All right, all right. Ten minutes.

Keep it down to ten minutes.

I'm tired and I wanna wrap this up.

- Ten minutes.

- Ten minutes.

- He's tired. He needs his rest.

- I don't really care, man.

We came here for an audition.

Okay, ladies and gentlemen,

that was The Blow Fish.

We have another group trying out

for resident house band.

A group of young people

that come all the way from somewhere.

Would you please welcome Mystery.

Ten minutes.

One, two, three, four.

Great.

Great. What's your next song?

Come on, Jennie.

One, two, three, four.

Hi.

Hello.

How you doing?

What can I do for you?

I just wanted to thank you

for giving us the job.

You earned it.

- You're good.

- Yeah, I know.

For a young person, you've sure got

the right kind of ego for this business.

Thanks.

There's a large yellow screwdriver

in the box.

Can you pass it to me, please?

Thank you.

You know, I've heard of you.

Yeah? Well, then,

you must read a lot of liner notes.

Yeah, I do.

I was thinking

maybe you could teach us something.

- I'm not into that anymore.

- What do you mean?

- Listen, what's your name again?

- Jennie. Jennie Lee.

Well, Jennie Lee,

let me tell you something about me.

My life is my business.

I'm a very private person

and I keep to myself, okay?

And I expect anyone who works for me

to do the same.

Go get it.

Thattaboy.

- Rad dog.

- Come here. Come on.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Oh, here.

- What is it?

Oh, I've... I've made a few corrections.

We're missing a lot of the changes.

So what?

What do you mean, "So what?"

I mean, we're not playing all the changes.

Why don't you relax, man?

You know, this is only rock 'n' roll.

Green. Come on, green.

Come on, green.

Daryle, is this blue or green?

- Daryle. Is this green or blue?

- It's... It's green.

- Put it away. You're already wasted.

- I know, that's why I need a green.

What do you think of these two?

Faggots.

Dudes. Yo, dudes.

- Can't you be subtle?

- Life's too short for subtle, Daryle.

I can't believe you.

Why don't you just go...

...find someplace else to sit.

- Why? I like it here.

So, what do you think?

- About what?

- About Mr. Sand King over there.

He's pretty okay on keyboards.

You know what I mean.
