Yeah, they got a pretty decent

little sound.

They're kind of...

a little bit freak rock,

a little noisy.

But they have this girl

who plays the cello,

and I think

that's supposed to be ironic,

but I can't tell anymore.

But, uh, so we'll just

stick a mic on her and go.

You sure

you don't want a plate?

Mm-mm.

Here.

Really?

Yeah.

Mmm, are you done?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Thank you.

One by one,

we jumped the wire

With a lending hand

to inspire

Both the artist

and the writer

As timber fed the fire

Gently now

as the night falls

Oh, sorry.

No, no.

No. I always forget.

I got it.

I'm awful.

You're not awful.

Oh, okay.

You're just really hard

on furniture.

[GIGGLES]

Mid-century,

classic 18th.

It's terrible.

Thanks for coming to see me.

You're welcome.

Oh, sh*t.

What?

Oh, I got something,

and I...

I forgot.

I bought you

something today.

I'll be right back.

One sec.

Uh, you might hate it.

You'll prob...

you'll probably hate it.

I won't hate it.

But you might come around

and then love it.

Book!

What is it?

That is back

when men wrote about God,

p*ssy, and themselves.

It's like, of all the sort of

fellow narcissists,

that's the one.

Thank you.

Sure.

You kind of remind me

a little bit of the hero.

Really? Is she a...

Yeah, in a weird way.

It's he, but...

It's a he.

It's thematic.

Awesome.

You're a kindred spirit.

Thank you.

You're a runner.

You're a rabbit.

I am a little bit

like a rabbit.

You are.

Damn it.

I can't find my sock.

You sure you don't want

to just spend the night?

No, I have to be home

in the morning

'cause I'm having

something delivered.

But you should stay in bed.

Go to sleep.

All right,

how about I call you a car?

No, 'cause I have my bike.

I'm just gonna ride.

Just throw it in the back

of the cab or something.

I'll give you some money.

No, thank you.

I feel bad.

Don't feel bad.

I feel bad.

Don't feel bad.

No, really, really, really.

Really?

[MUFFLED INDISTINCT SPEECH]

No! No!

You're gonna get me fired!

Oh, gross!

Sorry.

Get out.

I'm leaving.

[GROWLS]

Ow!

Please, please, please.

Stop it.

Now you're just being mean.

Okay. All right.

So you don't need me

to do anything.

I mean, no, if everything

is all taken care of,

then I guess, you know,

we should be fine, I guess.

Okay.

Yeah.

Are you gonna be all right?

I'm... I'm fine.

Okay.

Yeah.

I like both.

I like a short beard.

I like... I like your beard...

Well, this...

Like, if it was longer

than this,

then I'd be worried

it would be like a hipster

or homeless dot com

kind of situation.

But this is an okay range.

I like it.

Hi, guys.

Hey, how are you?
