Never mind.

No, no, no, no. Come on, mom.

Tell me. What were you going to say?

I was going to say that that is good

coming from a girl who didn't even call

her own brother back

to say she was sorry.

You can't tell me that you

thought that dropping out

of college was a good idea.

Franny, he did not want to go back.

What was I supposed to do?

You never would have let me do that.

- You never would have

wanted to have done that ever.

And speaking of you,

you basically dropped off

the grid for six months.

For six months,

we didn't hear anything from you and...

Oh, is that okay?

No, I called you. I did text.

Oh, yeah. The famous text, yeah.

- Well, if you would

empty your voicemail

every once in a while.

Oh, that's it.

Yup, that's it.

You're right. You have all the answers.

You came out of my womb

havin' all the answers, man.

- God!

- Oh, my god.

James.

Would you like to come over for dinner?

I have a show tonight.

Okay. Tomorrow night then.

Mom.

You... You don't have to, really.

I would love to.

- Hi.

- Oh, hi.

I'm... I'm glad you came.

Yeah?

I just...

Decided to last minute, yeah.

Do you want...

Do you want a star fruit?

No, thank you.

- Yeah, I'm not big

on star fruit either.

Let me see that.

James, you're up.

- Good luck out there.

They're wild tonight.

Discman.

- Yeah, I'm a bit old

- fashioned.

This is my favorite song in the world.

I'm ready.

This is your favorite song?

Okay, oh. Not that one.

Th-that's a guilty pleasure.

It's an old mix.

Hold on. Wait.

Okay, I think you're gonna love it.

This is for you from Katie Johnstone.

"Hey, James. Give 'er a listen. "

I think he's trying

to speak to you as you.

Give 'er. Give us a listen.

Yeah, yeah.

"Dear James, I have been"...

Oh, my god.

Yeah, it's an epic.

"I would be extremely stoke...

"Ed to get a coffee,

"or in my case, a hot chocolate

because I don't like coffee very much. "

You're kidding me.

"You would like it. "

- She sounds like she just

drank a hell of a lot of coffee.

Wow.

She sort of got the eyes right.

- What?

- Yeah, this is hilarious.

Oh, my good...

"Die, James, die... James. "

And check out this side.

"I'm coming, James.

James, James, James, James. "

That's my favorite one.

Look at the eyes.

I just got kind of worried about you.

Look at the eyes.

They're gonna hypnotize me.

Beautiful.

You have to try it on.

It's gonna be way too small.

It's a medium.

It's a children's medium.

- I don't... it's

cotton. It'll stretch.

- Really?

- Yeah.

For you.

Sorry.

There.

I'm ready to go out now.

You know, this is really good.

It's not mine, the zombies.

How does the melody line go?

Something like...
