[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKER]

Hi, how's it going?

Jackie, come pay for this!

[WOMAN LAUGHING]

Hi. How much?

Forty-two fifty.

Hey, anybody tell you you look

like the dude from American Pie?

Who?

Sherminator.

Oh, because I have red hair?

No.

Oh.

Can I get 10 back?

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

Surprised the Houlbrooks rented

this place out again.

After what happened last year.

Here you go.

Thank you very much for the tip.

Have a good night.

What the f*** happened

last year?

Ahem. So I said,

"Those aren't my pants."

[ALL LAUGHING]

That's why we're not allowed

in Modesto anymore.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

So which one of you guys

writes the songs?

We all do.

Well, we all have ideas

and we all contribute,

so we all get credit.

Yeah, but Jackie does

the heavy lifting.

Show 'em the book, Jackie.

Mm. That's so cute.

That reminds me of my journal.

I love to journal,

especially by hand.

It just makes you feel, like,

so much closer to the words.

That makes so much sense.

She's got, like, 200 songs

in this thing.

All of 'em genius.

- Can I see it?

- JACKIE:
Sorry.

Mm. Industry secrets.

Yeah, how do we know

you're not spies for Phantogram?

Sh*t,

they found us out, girls.

We're secretly

sexy female bandits.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

Hey, a couple of my friends

are leaving the festival.

They're looking

for something to do.

Is it cool if I tell them

to just come?

Yeah, totally.

No.

[DOG BARKING]

The more the merrier.

How many friends?

Just a couple.

[FAWN'S "PENNIES" PLAYING]

- [INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

- [WOMAN LAUGHING]

Totally! You too.

Know what you need?

You need sunglasses.

Oh.

Has anybody seen

my sunglasses?

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

I know some things...

We are gonna be

Internet famous.

I do some things

You think I won't

Try to be, let me be

Hey, would you like

some coconut water?

I have a whole case

in the fridge.

No, I'm good, thanks.

Okay, well,

remember to stay hydrated.

We are in the desert,

after all.

I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

Oh, my God.

- [INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

- [MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKER]

Ooh. Fire pit.

I made you a drink.

Thanks,

but I'm not drinking tonight.

Yeah. Ahem.

[GRATING]

[LUCY GROANS]

I just wanna say that...

I've been a fan of yours

for, like,

a while now.

I'm talking,

like, before this album

that you guys just released,

obviously.

I mean,

like, Section Five, okay?

I'm talking Paper Girl.

Like, I even really dug

that solo EP

- you put out a few years ago.

- Oh, let me guess.

You prefer

the early Starfoxy stuff.

I mean, not to be clich,

but...

Don't apologize.

I do too.

Are you still writing,

like, solo stuff?

Yeah, actually. Um...
