and write a song about it,

like a nose?

- Nose?

- A nose.

- I don't think nose

songs are my thing.

- You could write the

greatest song in the world

about a nose...

There's a lot of

different types of ears.

There are endless possibilities.

I can get it from here.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Guess I'll see you.

Yeah.

Thanks again.

I don't know.

I'm really sorry, Henry.

I didn't mean you were stupid.

I'm stupid.

I'm sorry.

You know I say things.

Sometimes I get too opinionated,

too stubborn.

You have to be okay.

- So I heard when

you're not on the road,

you spend most of your

time in the country.

What are you, like, a hermit?

Um, no.

Not... not really.

You once said you have no interest

in modern technology,

that all you need is music

and the person you love.

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Maybe... Maybe I said that.

- What's the strangest thing

that's happened to you on tour?

I was chased by a moose.

What?

In California.

Mom?

Franny.

What are you doing?

I am making piaya.

Right.

It's June 4th.

- Damn it!

- God!

Ahh!

Get the pillowcase out of the oven.

God.

Ugh, so loud!

God, it's so loud.

Thank you.

Jesus.

You, um...

You be in charge of...

Mm...

You be in charge of the glasses

and the decorations, okay?

Thanks.

There's a cat waving at you.

It's one of those

mechanical good luck ones.

Look really good in here now.

Actually it looks pretty horrible,

but it's better than it was.

It's your half-birthday,

and we're celebrating it.

Do you remember when we were in Zurich

for your half-birthday?

You were, like, five.

All you wanted were M&Ms and lemonade,

and we couldn't find any.

It was just expensive

swiss chocolate everywhere,

and then finally, we found some M&Ms

after hours of searching,

and mom bought you, like, 50 packs,

bought out the store.

Happy half-birthday, Henry.

Sorry about all this.

Happy half, Henry.

Hey.

Sorry if I'm interrupting.

You... You are not.

Come on in.

Join the party.

I think we even have an extra hat.

Here you go.

Um, looks nice.

It's Henry's half-birthday.

Keyboard looks good too.

Hey, have some persecco.

Don't tell the nurses.

Thanks.

Sure.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Turn left.

Please.

You didn't even speak Russian.

Why did you want Henry to learn it?

I wanted us to learn it together.

Secret language.

- Yours and 150 million other

people's secret language.

I don't speak Russian.

- Why do they always

make you learn that?

It is obvious you don't speak Russian.

Why do you have to go

around stating that?

Mom, I just...

I wish you could listen for two minutes.

Oh.

Oh.

I'm so sorry.

That is good coming from...
