OK!

OK, next up, we have Jude!

Jude?

Jude? What did you do?

- Jude here?

- It's funny, 'cause she's right here.

You are such a jackass!

- That was great.

- Thanks.

OK...

Are you f***ing serious?

That isn't what you picked?

No, no, that's what I picked.

OK.

This song is for someone

who's here tonight.

If you search for tenderness

It isn't hard to find

You can have the love

you need to live...

Little low.

If you look for truthfulness

You might just as well be blind

It always seems to be

so hard to give

Honesty

It's such a Ionely word

Everyone is so untrue

Honesty

Is hardly ever heard

It's mostly what I need from you

I can find a lover

I can find a friend

I can have security

until the bitter end

Anyone can comfort me

with promises again

I know

I know

- Hey, Jude?

- Oh, f*** off.

What? Oh, it's not that.

I've got this band. Serpentine?

Oh, have you ever heard of us?

No.

Anyway, Rain, our singer...

she got sent to rehab.

So I was thinking...

Hey, Otis! What's up?

Oh, can I borrow this?

We watched it last week, right?

Yeah, but I want to listen

to the commentary.

You want to?

Uh, I gotta get home.

Yeah, I saw your... Gil.

- Hey, the baby's cute.

- Yeah.

Who would you say

he looked like?

Sh*t, I don't know.

What's the name of the pretty one?

Diane. No, no, no.

A guy, you know?

You know, if you had to say

a guy he looked like.

I didn't really see him.

He's a baby,

you know, cute, you know.

That's all I meant.

Like, puppies and sh*t.

- I'll see you Thursday.

- Yeah, sure.

Serpentine's playing?

OK. See ya.

Otis? Is that you?

Did you leave this at my house?

"Does 5/13/85

mean anything to you?

"If so, meet me at

Cahuenga Grounds at 11:00."

It's a little dramatic.

I'm sorry. I'm Nicky.

What is this about?

I don't want you to get

the wrong impression.

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm a documentary filmmaker.

And I have a proposal for you.

Strictly legitimate.

What do you know about this date?

You had a kid on that day.

Somewhere in Phoenix.

Tell me I have that wrong.

Do you want a coffee or anything?

A scone or...

I don't... I don't have any children.

Well, not legally, yeah.

But, I mean, you know,

he's still yours.

See... Hey, see?

I know it's a boy.

I know everything about him.

I know his name,

I know where he lives.

He wrote, when he turned 18,

about a year ago...

for all that information

that they have to give you.

That's how I got your name.

He wants to contact me?

Well... no.

But they sent him back this file,

which he showed me...

and I have in a very safe place.

But he didn't want

to go through with it...

'cause he's such a suck-up

to his fake parents.
