What do you mean by that?

It means that if you listen

to absolute silence...

...your ears are gonna last

a little bit longer.

They're crumbling as we speak.

Stop the drugs, Frank.

Stop the drinking.

Go to bed at a decent hour.

We can give you a hearing aid

that gives you temporary hearing...

...but that damages the ear

even further.

- Speak up.

- These are the facts, Frank.

These are the facts, Frank.

We can't change them.

You are deaf, man.

You are a deaf man.

This is costing me 2000

f***ing euros an hour.

Chuck me a f***ing bone!

This is your hearing aid, Frank.

Use it only when you have to.

Only when you have to.

- Only when I have to.

- Right. Only when you have to.

Got that? No exceptions.

Can you keep on gigging?

Frankie?

Can you keep on gigging?

Can you keep on gigging?

I love them both, you know?

I love hearing, and I love DJ'ing.

I was thinking this morning

maybe I should write a book.

That's a brilliant idea.

That might take years, though, so...

Perhaps, like, a pamphlet.

A sort of brochure thing.

Listen, Frankie, l...

I want to tell you that

whatever your decision...

...I will support it wholeheartedly.

You and me and little Kingie.

That's all that matters to me.

Deaf, dumb or blind, baby,

we will get through this.

It's brilliant to almost hear that.

Fair play to the guy.

I have no idea what

I would have done in that situation.

I mean, there he is.

You know, he's between a rock...

...and you know, another rock...

...which is harder and bigger.

Hi.

I'm actually thinking about

giving it a bit of a break.

Of course I f***ing love you.

How can you say that?

I just think we don't necessarily

bring out the best in each other.

Not always the best thing for me.

It's my problem.

It's not your problem.

You know what I mean? Why can't we

just be mates for a little bit?

I could just give you a ring

every few weeks, you know?

Just make it a little bit more casual.

Couldn't we do that?

It sounds like the caca.

No.

Is Frank there?

Is this Frank standing

in front of me?

No, this is a drunken baboon

drooling on the mix board.

What in all of the heavens

are you on, Frank?

Are you f***ing deaf

or something?

What's your f***ing problem?

They would laugh you

out of Austria.

I can hear them laughing now.

Where is Frankie f***ing Wilde,

Frankie?

Is he f***ing gone?

And the f***ing,

"Go away. Stay, stay, stay," huh?

So you're deaf?

You're deaf?

Almost.

This is like all the terrors

and the horrors of the world...

...raining down on your skull.

Last three months,

it's really rapidly accelerated.

But I've... I've got this.

And I really thought

I could do this job, man.
