No. No. No. Dude, your drumming is

incredible. This is your destiny.

(SIGHS)

I do love your voice, mate.

LEO:
That's the spirit!

(GIGGLES) We're Relentless!

- (ALL CHEERING)

- DYLAN:
All right! All right.

So who's the chap playing bass?

Guys. Guys, this is Lily.

Hey, Lily.

Let's see you play "Damnation".

I'm not gonna sit here and play along

to a recording while you all stare at me.

I wanna jam.

Let's see if we have chemistry.

(CHUCKLES) All right.

Okay.

("MR. DOCTOR MAN" PLAYING)

Here's a little story

I'd like to tell

About this little boy

Who came from hell

Sit right there

And listen real good

Tell you all the ways

He's misunderstood

Chemically it's running

Through my veins, you see?

Romance of the plastic scene

Well, I can't see you

Breathe

Coming after me

Sounds wicked.

- Can you give us a couple of minutes?

- Yeah.

Yeah, thanks, Lily.

Just pop outside for a sec.

Won't be a minute.

(SIGHS)

Uh, she's perfect. (LAUGHS)

F***ing hell, I'm good!

Mate, she's a she. She's a she

that looks like that.

How the f*** are we supposed to be in a band

with someone who looks like that without...

You know, he's right, man.

(STUTTERS) I mean, it's gonna be

pretty tough to resist our primal urges.

You guys know I can hear you,

right?

- What makes you think I even like boys?

- (CLEARS THROAT)

- So you're a lesbian?

- Shut the f*** up, Dylan!

JOHNNY:

Okay.

Lily, do you wanna be

in The Relentless?

- Raise your hand if you want her to join the band.

- (SCOFFS) Yes!

Got any shows booked?

Um, um, (CLEARS THROAT)

yeah, um, about that.

Um, we do actually have a lot of

good stuff in the pipe at the moment.

Um, we've got some calls coming

in and some demos going out.

And it's actually looking

really good, really healthy.

(INHALES) And I'm positive that the

gigs are going to come in any day now.

Are you trying to convince me

or yourself?

(CHUCKLES) All right.

Motley Crue.

Guns N' Roses, Van Halen,

they all started here.

Mate, The Doors

are the house f***ing band!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, look, just

don't get all f***ing cheesed off

if they don't book us.

All right.

Yeah, no worries.

We'll just get a new manager.

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, yeah. Ha, ha. That's a man's

living you're joking about there.

These guys just canceled

so in eight weeks,

I've got a show coming up

that you guys would be great on.

RICKY:
(STUTTERS)

Fantastic. Just to confirm.

That does mean

we've got the gig, isn't it?

- It sure does.

- It sure does.

- RICKY:
I knew it.

- Yes!

Now you gotta do the work.

Oh, well, these lads are not

scared of hard work. Are you, guys?

How much are we gonna get paid?
