Besides that,
I have some...
Security gigs.
Tom, what I am
basically trying...
To understand here
is the relationship

Uh-huh? Can you tell me a
little bit about that?
Don't know what
there is to tell.
Eat up. C'mon, let's go.
I like your shirt, mark.

Have a good day.
Yeah.
It's f***ing great, man.
So, yeah, so, basically
like what you want to know,
pretty much any f***ing tune,
any rock beat, right,

means your counting in four, right?
So that'll be like one, two, three,
four, and just speed that up.
