I'll show you.

Hello, Mr. Drum!

Drummer!

The left ear,

there's still a little bit left.

And this little fella

is a f***ing lifeline, man.

But I can use it only when I have to.

Long as I'm careful,

I can hear more.

- What? What has happened?

- What?

He was stone-f***ing deaf.

There's not much you can do as a DJ

if you can't hear.

Generally, the field of music...

...other than the obvious example...

...has been dominated

by people who can hear.

He was never gonna hear again.

It was as simple as that. It was...

...gone.

All right, Frankie?

All right?

Blink!

Hola, mate.

- All right?

- All right.

Good game?

- Is it a good game?

- Yeah, it's all right. It's pretty good.

It's decent.

Sonya in?

Sonya in?

Yeah, she's here. She's upstairs.

- She's packing, mate.

- She all right?

She's leaving you, Frank.

She's leaving you.

For me.

- Get in there!

- Did you see that?

F***ing hell!

F***ing, how was that one, eh?

Ter-f***ing-rific!

- Yes, brilliant, wasn't it?

- Want a line?

Not right now, thanks. Cheers.

Frankie.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

I'm leaving you.

I'm gonna take the tiger.

That's mine.

And I want those ones,

obviously, because they're mine.

And you can have the sculpture

that your mother bought us.

Aren't you upset, Frankie?

Do you wanna say anything to me?

Anything at all?

Frankie!

Where the f***'s the album, Frank?

Where the f***

is the album, Frank?!

Where the f*** is the album?!

It smells like sh*t in here, Frank.

What the f***'s happened to you?

What the f*** happened

to you, Frank?

I don't know what this is.

I don't know what this is.

This is bullshit, Frank. This isn't

how you take on things, huh?

Listen...

Maybe this isn't the worst thing

in the world.

Take some f***ing time off.

Go in the sun for f***'s sakes, huh?

Eat a lot of fruit,

get some f***ing vitamins in you.

Vegetables and greens and sh*t.

I can't...

You know, there's...

I was reading yesterday...

...there's a fish,

it's called a zebra fish.

Has little hairs on it.

And somehow,

they can implant that...

I don't know.

It's too f***ing hot.

It's always too f***ing hot.

I can't help you.

I don't know how to...

I don't know how to help... - I don't

want to help you. I can't help you.

I didn't want a deaf DJ

on the label.

I didn't want the company to be

touched with the deaf stamp.

Well, business is tough...

...and sometimes you have

to make awkward decisions.

And I've made harder decisions

than dropping the deaf DJ.

Frank just locks himself up

in his room...

...didn't come out

of his villa for a long time.

He had this theory he was gonna

get his hearing back...

...by having complete silence. He
