What's on here?

Nothing.

Just words.

Words?

Yeah.

Can I play it?

Um...

I'm curious to see

what's on it.

What's that?

Did I do that?

I don't even remember.

Sounds like a bunch

of stuff going on.

Yeah, it sounds like music

that maybe

I would have recorded,

but I don't remember

doing it, so...

But you?

Like this is you,

or, like, you recorded

some music?

No, recorded me.

Oh, really?

Yeah, sometimes if l, like,

don't feel like actually

recording properly with a mike,

I'll just do that so I can remember

the notes of the song

or the idea, you know.

Mm-hmm.

So what do you play?

I can barely play guitar

and barely play drums.

And now you can play this.

Yeah, barely.

This much.

Who cuts your hair?

Why? Does it look stupid?

No.

Hey.

Sorry.

That's OK.

It took forever.

I couldn't find these matches.

It's so cold.

I know.

I'm freezing.

It's really bad.

It's so cold!

It's super windy.

I don't even know if I'm going

to be able to light this.

I'll help you.

Do you want to build

a little fortress?

Try it again.

Got it.

Do you always

roll your own cigarettes?

No, no.

I just didn't have enough money

to buy any nam-brained--

I mean, name-brand.

You just switched the letters.

I do that all the time.

Me, too.

How do you feel about the hair?

Um...I like it.

Can you tell any difference?

Not really.

Yeah, me either.

I was scared.

It was 'cause I was nervous.

I didn't want you

to not like it.

No, it was a valiant effort.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

I did cut hair, though.

I wasn't pretending

to cut your hair.

I mean, I did cut some,

so there is a difference.

No, I can feel the little, like,

hairs on my neck and stuff.

Oh, can you?

It's kind of making me itch.

Sorry.

No, it's OK.

It's natural, it happens.

Yeah.

Man, it's cold.

Are you almost

done with that?

What's that?

Are you almost done?

Yeah, actually, I only need

about half to get the fix.

I think I'm going to go

and take a shower anyway

just to get the, you know,

get the little hairs off.

OK.

Yeah.

Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing?

It's not good.

No, I can't find my friend.

I can't find Samantha.

No, I'm not, I'm not...

I don't know

what's going on.

I was staying with her.

I'm staying with some--

this guy.

I met this guy, and I'm staying

with this guy.

Yeah, this guy named Charlie.

I don't really know.

It's not like that.

What else am I supposed to do?

Do you know what I'm saying?

Hello?

Do you want me to explain

what happened?

Why don't I just tell you

what happened?

Don't be like that.

Hello?

Why did you hang up?

Well...

I'm not doing anything wrong.

I would not do that.
