Turn that down.

A.J., up on the roof. Fix the sign.

Take the photograph.

Music Town. I can handle Music Town.

Welcome to Music Town.

May I service you?

Gina...

get dressed. Corey, work.

You must be Joe Reaves.

You must be Jane.

Me, Joe. You, Jane.

Shut up, Warren.

- This is Rex Manning.

- Pleased to meet you.

We all love the new album.

Good for you.

What's he doing here?

Let me introduce you.

This is Gina. This is Corey.

Lucas, A.J...

and Warren.

I'm Rex. Great to be here.

I have all...

your albums.

That's terrific, Corey. Thanks.

What happened to your hair?

The stylist, if you can call him that,

got carried away. No biggie.

Looks good.

See, he likes it?

I like it.

Great.

Let's go to work.

Higher.

That was fabulous, Warren, thank you.

Women.

I still don't like my hair.

Just try to smile.

I don't like the chair.

What do you mean,

you don't like the chair?

What's wrong with the chair?

Just sit in the chair.

I don't want to sit in it.

You're going to stand there?

Mr. Manning, this is a very nice chair.

Thank you.

Pen.

- What's your name?

- Kathy.

K-A-T-H-Y.

I've seen every episode of The Family Way.

You were my favorite singer

in high school.

Who's your favorite singer now?

You! It's still you!

There're so many babes out there!

I've got to get Rex some water

because Rex is very thirsty.

Make sure it's bottled water.

Who's your favorite singer?

Axl.

If Axl Rose was driving

down the highway...

and saw Rex Manning stranded

on the side of the road...

would Axl Rose stop and help him?

Does Axl have a jack?

No way, man! Axl would spin the wheel,

take aim, pound on the gas...

and take that sucker out!

Warren! Where do you get

this hostility from?

Who glued these quarters down?

I did.

What the hell for, man?

I don't feel that I need

to explain my art to you.

Look what you took.

Rap...

...metal...

...rap...

...metal...

...Whitney Houston.

It's for my girlfriend, okay.

Sure it is.

Someone like you needs

to diminish their criminal impulses...

not magnify them.

Maybe some jazz or classical.

Maybe you bite me.

Do any of you...

like Rex Manning's new record?

Dance Party, U.S.A.

Teenybopper type of sh*t.

It tested well among teenage males.

Did you compare the percentage

of teenage male Rex Manning fans...

to the incidents of homosexuality

among teenage males?

No.

Who should I make it out to?

Denise.

Denise. I've always loved that name.

Thank you, but it's not mine,

it's my mom's.

She loves you.

I've never even heard of you.

Does your mother

still have her own teeth?

Forget it.

Cool hair.

Berko.

Lucas, heard a story about you.

Really? Which one?

The one where you stole $9,000...
