- No, I...

- I might.

[laughs]

I'll meet you out front

before the show.

I said

something better change

I said

I said

something better change

Change change

something better change

Change change

- You won't get better

than that.

- I want that one

in there as well.

- That one?

That one should be 650

but if you buy this one

I'll give it to you for 625.

- Okay.

- How about that, hmm?

It's a bargain.

- What about this one here?

- This right here?

Now, this one should be 850

but if you buy both of them,

800 quid.

Shay! I thought you'd be here

hours ago.

Be right with you.

- What about the drums

at the back?

- The drums at the back,

I'll let you have that one

for 700 quid, okay?

- 700?

- Come on, it should be 750.

Have a look

at the ones on the left.

I'll let you have the whole lot

two guitars and the drum kit.

- Nine hundred.

- Two grand, two grand.

Two, two grand.

- Two grand?

- Yeah, alright? It'll be

far more expensive for me.

[piano music]

Go have a look at the drums.

Go on, the ones on the left.

[chuckles]

These punks

they're worse than the hippies.

Just get uglier and uglier.

- Better than disco.

- Truer words never spoken.

Come on.

I've got the parts for you.

If they got anything to say

There's many black ears here

to listen

But it was Four Tops

all night

With encores

from stage right

Charging from the bass knives

to the treble

But onstage they ain't

[music stops]

If they got anything to say

There's many black ears here

to listen

But it was Four Tops

all night

With encores

from stage right

But onstage

they ain't got no roots

Rock rebel

Dress back jump back..

- Shay, dinner!

'Cause it won't

get you anywhere

[music stops]

Shay!

- Why are you wearing mum's hat?

Daddy, Shay's wearing mum's hat.

- You trying to do me over, boy?

You trying to do me over?

[door opens]

I never want to see that thing

again.

You hear me?

And what have you

done to your hair?

- It's your fault she left.

[door shuts]

[door shuts]

- I got to take Alice

to the child minders

before we move the piano.

So set the straps

while I'm gone.

- I'm leaving early tonight

to go to a concert.

- Huh? What concert?

Who, who's gonna

look after Alice?

I've got to be in the taxi

all night.

And where, where, by the way

did you get the money

for a concert, huh?

- From you. I'm going.

[laughs]

- I know you think

you've got it all so figured out

but it's not as simple

as you think.

- Well, it's not exactly rocket

science, is it, either?

- I hope you don't get

that anger for me, boy

'cause it's only worth it

if it's worth it.

Come on, sweetie.

- I guess your music
