gonna have to go with this.

Okay.

Sorry, it's just...

- It's pretty crazy, isn't it?

- No, I know, I know.

I understand.

I understand.

But let me tell you something...

Frank, with all his issues,

is without a doubt the most

100%- sanest cat I've ever met.

Okay.

Me, on the other hand...

Well, you seem

pretty sane to me.

Yeah!

But, no no,

I spent a lot of time

in a psychiatric hospital.

I was labeled

as severely mentally ill.

I used to f*** mannequins.

- Right.

- It's a condition.

Here we go.

Welcome to Ireland.

Please remember...

Wakey-wakey,

eggs and bakey.

And everybody out.

Welcome to Vetno...

Our new home.

Don?

- Don!

- All right.

You like?-

- impulse response.

- Okay, people.

- Excuse me.

- Nana, Baraque...

How long will we be

staying here for?

...rhythm section shall be

housed in here. Ah, bunks.

It is.

Frank. The master

bedroom for you.

Had it customized

for all your requirements.

These will be the

bathing accommodations.

We will have many

productive seasons here.

And, Clara, your living quarters.

Don!

Nice panoramic view

of the lake here.

And, Jon, you and I

are just through here.

- Don.

- Yeah, buddy?

Don, sorry, I, uh...

I actually told work

that I'd be back on Monday.

Uh, so I was just wondering...

Why the f*** would you do that?

Well, I thought it was

just a gig, you know.

So I've only brought one

pair of pants and a t-shirt.

This is where I'll be staying,

right here in the green trailer.

So if you need anything

at night... you know,

sugar, milk...

If you freak out,

you just come a-knocking.

Come on, chop chop.

- That's alpine cedar... nice.

- Don!

- Yeah?

- How long are we staying here?

Just as long as it takes

to record the album, Jon.

"Vetno, Ireland.

After several days of what

Frank calls 'fieldwork, '

rehearsals proper

have begun."

"I'm settling in to my new life

and gradually getting to know

my fellow band members."

Wow, this is beautiful.

What do you call it?

Stay away from

my f***ing theremin.

"A few teething problems,

as you would expect.

- But beginning to feel like one of the gang."

- Hey.

Mm-hmm.

"At vetno, there's already

a palpable sense

of free expression,

and I can't wait to dive

into the creative maelstrom."

Okay, everybody, next time

round go to "G" minor,

okay?

One two three four!

F***ing major, major!

"But of course,

I shall have to earn

my place in the band."

- Whoo whoo!

- "At the heart of it all

is Frank."

"How to describe Frank?

Mostly he seems friendly,

though sometimes

a little intense."

- Stop!

- It will be worth it!

"He can hide himself away

for days at a time.

What goes on
