Who's Lucius?

It's... can you read?

It's Lucas.

Lucas. I'm sorry.

It's the singer that I

didn't do the story on.

He keeps... and I keep...

Well, what'd he say?

Did you listen to it?

Should you listen to it?

Well, then delete it because you

know how it plays out.

What about that guy?

What guy?

The rich guy from the... the

fundraiser at the bar.

Oh, God. Charlie?

Yeah, he likes you,

and he's got money.

And... and he can help you.

No. No way.

No... no way.

I am not doing that.

Well, you should.

I have some pride.

So, you think he's still

alive.

Yeah, I do.

He just ditched you?

Well, I mean, not

ditched, but...

And then disappeared, never

to be heard from again?

Yeah, except maybe for this

guy who says he saw him in

a bar a few months ago.

Wow.

This is really

interesting to me.

Okay. I'll give you the

money to find that guy.

You will? Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

But it's conditional.

Okay?

Lately, I've been taking some

documentary-filmmaking courses

at a local junior college.

I've been looking for something

that really speaks to me.

Speaks to me... right here.

Okay, so you want to do a

story about Matthew.

No. I want to do a

documentary about you trying to

find Matthew.

No, no, no.

I don't want to be

in your documentary.

And I don't want to

just give you $1,000.

What do you think?

Jesus. What's this?

What the hell is this?

Well, anyone who makes movies

has one of these, so this one is

I did.

They just delivered it.

What do you think?

Uh... permission

to board granted,

my lady.

You know how to drive, right?

What are you doing?

Interviewing you.

What? Now?

Why not?

It's for the documentary.

Because I'm basically driving

a submarine on wheels and I'm

not exactly a strong

driver, so...

Well, let me just tell you...

You are piloting this submarine

on wheels brilliantly.

Interview 1, take 1...

Ellie Klug.

And... action.

Okay.

Uh... so... so, Matthew Smith's

music is unique in that it was a

blend of... cut! What is that?

That's, uh... I mean, I don't

really care about that.

Is that, like, music

criticism or something?

Yeah, that's what I do.

Right.

Well, I don't care about that.

And I'm fairly certain that

anybody that views this

documentary won't care, either.

You know what?

I think I'm just gonna focus on

the road here... if

that's okay with you.

Okay. Hostile interview.

Cut.

You know what?

I'm just gonna get some, uh,

various shots of the landscape.

You know, we call it "B" roll

in, uh, filmmaking.
