ARE KILLING ME" PLAYING]

We're kind of trying to have

a moment.

WOMAN:

What the f***?

TYKO:
I'm sorry. That's Bobby.

He's our manager.

F***ing here till Sunday.

Try the veal.

TYKO:

I can't leave him on his own.

Have twenty "one mores"

Oh, it does not relent

The good times are

killing me

What do you wanna do now?

I wanna go on somewhere else.

BOBBY:
What's your name? I'm Bobby.

Now you're talking my language.

I don't wanna stay here.

Okay. What do you have in mind?

ADAM:
I saw you.

MORELLO:
Shh.

What? I'm being quiet.

[WHISPERS] Where have you been?

[MORELLO LAUGHS]

ADAM:
Uh, little trip to the restroom.

Together?

ADAM:
Well...

MORELLO:
Incredible.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] While you leave

me alone with this pervert?

What?

ADAM:
Come on, Lake.

Don't "Lake" me.

MORELLO:
Why not? It's your name.

Baby, the trick is

to shut out her voice.

I know, she has a voice like

the Elephant Man's face.

Why don't you shut up?

Why don't you shut up?

Why are you such a b*tch?

Because I'm worth it.

I've seen your pores. You're not.

MORELLO:
Ooh.

Honey.

I've wondered if models

made fun of ordinary-person looks.

You are not an ordinary person.

Ordinary purple... People...

[LAUGHING]

What? Shut up.

Sony. I can't.

Shut up.

I'm trying.

Lake, what are you doing? Lake.

[MORELLO LAUGHING]

Don't... Wait. Baby.

Morello. Morello.

LAKE:
It's over, Adam.

ADAM:

Lake, come on.

[MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

Baby, come back, all right?

We're just...

Lake.

Wait up. Lake!

Lake, hey, wait up.

Where'd she go?

[SIGHS]

Sh*t.

That was all my fault.

I'm really sorry.

["GET WHAT YOU PAID 4!

(MARCO BALLEY REMIX)" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

Hey, Bobby, we're gonna move on.

Yeah, I know,

I f***ing love this tune.

We should be dancing naked

on a beach, right?

Hey. My jacket.

TYKO:

We got a friend.

BOBBY:
I could f*** the

hole in a dolphin's head.

[MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE]

Hey.

All right, Mark.

You know, working in music,

being in a band,

you develop these...

These telepathic connections,

you know?

For that reason alone, I think

it's the best way to spend your life.

You know? For that connection.

That's... That's wealth.

I'm really sorry about Lake.

No. No, no. She was...

We were.

No connection.

MORELLO:
I'm sorry.

Nothing compared

to what I have with your girlfriend.

Am I lying? I mean...

You barely know her, man.

I've known her 10 hours

and I have a better connection.

Of course, she'll say otherwise.

That's because you're the fall-back.

What?

Gotta have a fall-back, right?

MORELLO:

Don't listen to him.

Anyway, I need a drink,

so let's go find a bar.

MORELLO:

Just ignore him. Come on.

Mark?

I'm not doing this again, Morello.

It's not happening again.

It's not happening again.

You'd better go with him.

Mark.

Go.

[THE TWILIGHT SAD'S "MAPPED BY

WHAT SURROUNDED THEM" PLAYING]

And these walls And these

walls are filled with blame

And these walls

And these walls

Are filled with blame

And she's sitting

In the primrose garden

And she's playing

with her toys

Just another child-like ghost

The trees and animals cry

[CHATTERING]

My hole I'll get my hole

You got any hobbies?

No.

I'll get my hole

[TYKO & WOMAN MOANING]

It's a choc-choc train

TYKO:

That's great. Yeah.

WOMAN:

Oh, my God.

LUCIE:
I charged it up again,

so I can do it all tonight.

And then we can redo the sessions.

KIM:

Hello.

Do you wanna join us?

Sure.

You're Kim, right?

Yeah. Hi. Kim Cox from Eco Lobby.

You're Mark.

Mark. That's it, yeah.

Morello's other half. This is Lucie.

Hi.

She's just off to the toilet.

MARK:
Yeah, Morello's other half.

Yeah, well.

LUCIE:

Sony. Excuse me.

Well, I don't think I am,

actually, any more.

Do you wanna sit down?

MARK:
Thanks. Thanks.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING]

I need a hug.

[JO MANGO'S "THE BLACK SUN"

PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

I fell in love

With a starling

He died in my mother's arms

Was buried and exhumed

And now all I think of is

Wings beating

TYKO:

I'll just see where Bobby's gone.

Where's Bobby? Bobby?

BOBBY:

Yeah! Whoo!

Hi, ladies.

Come here. Come here.

We can't keep apart.

We cannot keep apart.

Come on. Come on.

Between my fingers

And the thumb

I looked in his thousandth eye

And saw

Can I just see you

without your glasses?

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah!

Your bones

MACHINE:
What a wimp.

F*** you!

[J.J. AND CHRISTY LAUGHING]

I heard you singing

With tiny lungs

[WOMAN LAUGHS]

WOMAN:

Go away. Leave us alone. Go.

You all right?

I've seen you grown massive

My tiny one

And I feel now your yearning

For the black sun

Oh, I feel that you're yearning

I'm really short-sighted.

For the black sun

[CHUCKLES]

It's okay.

So I told him how I loved

Your bones

When we pulled them one by one

Out the stone

MAN 1:
You all right, pal?

Hey, you all right?

MAN 2:
I suggest you come

back to the campsite.

MAN 1:

Here, stand up, my man.

You're all right, ain't you?

MAN 3:

Oh, for f***'s sake.

[MUMBLES]

[PIANO ACCORDION

PLAYING MELANCHOLY TUNE]

[SWITCHES TO UPBEAT TUNE]

Yeah, that's my song.

Mm-hm.

How do you do that?

Four chords.

ADAM:

Okay, it's my turn.

Can I borrow your guitar?

You guys seem to get on pretty well.

Yeah, that's what womanizers do.

I'm not a womanizer.

HAZEL:
You are.

Play, play, play.

[HUMS]

I just wanna womanize you, baby

[HUMS]

I'll spread your thighs

for you, baby

Mm.

Then say my goodbyes to you, baby

Oh, don't be so shy, little lady

Maybe, maybe tonight

Will be your lucky night, baby

It will be if you

play your cards right

I'm such a womanizer, baby

A womanizer

[LAUGHS]

I'm gonna leave you, baby

No, you're not

[LAUGHS]

She can't go anywhere

I can't get out

I think I'm gonna scream and shout

'Cause I'm a womanizer, baby

Womanizer, baby

Womanize all night long

All night long

[LAUGHS]

[BIRDS CAWING]

[MORELLO & ADAM SCREECHING]

[WITHERED HAND'S

"NO CIGARETTES" PLAYING]

Think me and you

Could maybe use a lost weekend

I've been losing

all my friends

I wave another empty bottle

Oh, God.

Like I'm hitting it hard

But it's just pretend

TYKO:

Bobby?

BOBBY:
Tyko?

TYKO:
Bobby, is that you?

BOBBY:

Tyko?

Bobby! Oh, Bobby.

BOBBY:
Ha-ha-ha.

I went and got lost

Always the back end

Of this pantomime horse

[LAUGHING]

All we seem to do these days

Is wave our arms and yell

Other people are hell

MORELLO:

No! Ahh!

It's getting to me

[CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY]

Maestro, a drum roll please

This is the golden age

[PEOPLE SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

[BOTH PANTING]

[LAUGHS]

Where are you gonna go?

I don't know.

I'm getting into the safety position.

This is the safety position. Such...

[BOTH GRUNT]

[SOBBING]

Are you crying? Are you crying?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What's it all?

The band I've spent six years

trying to build up,

it's a f***ing joke.

I've just been dumped

and womanized.

And now I'm in the mud, people!

It's all right.

MORELLO:

And there's those people in there.
