I mean, it was big, but it was not,

you know, it had clearly been

ravaged.

I knew we shouldn't have come.

- I know.

Like, I have to come to these things.

Like, what am I gonna do?

She's my best friend.

Like, I can't just not come

to my godson's first

birthday party 'cause I...

I just, it always makes me think.

Like, were we crazy?

'Cause look at us.

- What's that supposed to mean?

What, I mean, we have

shitty jobs to pay the rent.

Because that's what you

do when you're an adult.

And it's shitty.

- I had a book deal.

- I know.

- I was the star of my class.

And Candice was a sh*t writer in college.

- Don't compare yourself...

- I mean, she was

a f***ing joke.

- Well, now Candice with

the b*obs is a show runner.

She's being paid to do

something she loves.

That's more than you

could say about me or you.

- You were an artist.

- Well, art...

- You know, you...

- Anna.

- Like, you...

- You know...

- Had dreams, too.

- What I've come to realize?

Art is bullshit.

That's what I've, that's my big takeaway.

Can I have a lighter, please?

- Art is bullshit?

- Art is bullshit.

- Wow, that's a choice philosophy.

You know who else

thought art was bullshit?

Hitler.

- Why does it always have to

come back to the Holocaust?

- Because we should never forget.

- We will never, trust me,

we will never forget.

- No, we will never forget.

- No, we won't.

- Because I bring it up

to remind us.

- All the time.

- Really?

One second.

Should we open a window or something?

- No, it's fine, they know.

They actually have a lot

of good instruments here.

- I can't find a bass, though.

- Well, yeah, no kid wants

to grow up to play bass.

They just end up playing bass.

- Why?

- Because it's like.

- I play bass.

- Look at this cool little kid guitar.

That sounds pretty good.

- One, two, three, four.

- Did she just count us in?

- Mm-hmm.

- Who is that?

- I don't know.

I think it's Isis.

- What is it?

- Her name is Isis.

- Oh.

- She's a real firecracker.

- Hmm.

Okay.

You and I

I, I, I, I, I

- I like that.

- Yeah?

- Okay.

We can fight

Fight, fight, fight, fight

- Hey, I think you

got your first groupie.

- Yeah.

Try, we must

Try, try, try, try, try

To find the light

Light, light, light

Now bridge.

- Okay.

Find the fight

Day and night

We find the fight

Oh sh*t, I gotta get tambo on it.

- And you gotta stop cursing

in front of the kids.

Nice.

Really good job.

Really good job.

- You, too, up high.

- Really good job.

Ben-

- Hmm?

- Where, um...

Where do you think we go from here?

- I don't know.

- I think I thought that

having a kid would just, like,

fix everything.

Like, I just wanna create something
