I'm almost done.

I'll be down in a second.

Charlotte just did her first

flip on the trampoline

and she landed on her feet.

She was really

proud of herself.

That's great!

And you missed it.

She'll do it again.

It's the fourth time you've

gone to the bathroom today.

Give me a break.

Why is your instinct to escape?

It's not my instinct

to escape from you.

It is my instinct to

come into the bathroom

when I need to go

to the bathroom.

You want me to hook up

cable in here or something?

You need DirecTV?

Well, it's probably

too late for this dump,

but if you could do that for

the next one, I'd be psyched.

How come

I don't smell anything?

It's because I shoved an Altoid

up my ass before I came in here.

Let me see, then.

What?

Let me see.

No, I'm not going

to let you see.

You're not going to let me see,

because you're

not taking a poop.

I've been flushing as I go.

You're flushing as you go.

Who takes a half-hour

to go to the bathroom?

John Goodman.

Don't press "Enter." I'm not

sure I want to make that move!

Thank you. Wow.

You know, when I

first started this label,

my dream was to work

with musicians and bands

whose music

I just admired so much.

The person that I thought, "My God,

wouldn't it be incredible to work with,"

was Graham Parker.

Tonight, we have him, solo

because we couldn't afford

to fly in The Rumour.

Graham Parker.

It's just not my kind of music.

Really? What is

your kind of music?

I like happy music

that you can dance to.

Yeah, but when you

listen to a song

where somebody's singing

about something depressing,

don't you relate to it?

No.

It makes you feel

the same as they...

It makes you feel you're

a part of the human race.

I don't feel like that.

I like Lady Gaga.

Oh, God, of course you do.

What?

Shallow dance music.

It's not. It is fun.

And it's about

release and sex and power.

You don't have to like it. It's

really not for you, that's fine.

This is a job.

This is not a hobby.

Can't you love him,

just as a hobby

and sign a 15-year-old

hot girl so we can eat?

Graham Parker & The Rumour

had two albums

in the Rolling Stone Top 500

Best Albums of All Time.

Two of them.

If I can just sell 10,000 records

to his hardcore fanbase,

we're golden.

The last of Graham

Parker's fans just died.

I do know. Hardly. That sort

of music depresses people.

Hi, Charlotte.

Sadie. Sadie,

what are you listening to?

Okay. This is music

that makes people happy.

And this is what people buy.

What?

Right, girls?

Come on, Sadie.

Okay.

Why did you take it off?

Now, something

that really rocks.

This is called good music.

From somebody's heart.

This is bumming me out.
