1. Thank... Thank you.Copy !req
2. Thanks very much.Copy !req
3. And I know that
there's a lot of peopleCopy !req
4. on the list to play tonight,
but I was wonderingCopy !req
5. if I could just add one more.Copy !req
6. She's a friend of mine who,Copy !req
7. like me, is a long way from home.Copy !req
8. And if it's OK with you,
I was wondering if you'd like herCopy !req
9. to come up here and
play one of her songs.Copy !req
10. Is that OK? Yeah?Copy !req
11. Gretta, would you come
up here, please?Copy !req
12. Uh, just give me a moment.Copy !req
13. I think it would be a good idea if you'd
come up and sing one of your songs.Copy !req
14. It would be a
really fucking bad idea.Copy !req
15. Oh, Gretta, come on,
this is New York.Copy !req
16. - No.
- You want to hear it, right?Copy !req
17. Yeah?Copy !req
18. - Yeah?
- Yes!Copy !req
19. Sing it!Copy !req
20. You're gonna be amazing.Copy !req
21. Um, hi.Copy !req
22. Uh, so this is a new song,
so it might be kind of rough.Copy !req
23. Um... It's for anyone who's ever
been alone in the city.Copy !req
24. Thanks.Copy !req
25. See?Copy !req
26. Get up!Copy !req
27. It's 7:00am.
Good morning, New York, and welcome toCopy !req
28. the second hour
of Potsy and Andy in the Morning!Copy !req
29. Hey, Potsy, did you, uh...
did you read about the dog?Copy !req
30. - The Korean restaurant thing?
- Oh, I certainly did.Copy !req
31. Did you hear about that, Katie?Copy !req
32. Fresh prospects, let's hear it.
What do you got for me?Copy !req
33. No, no!
Who's next on this delightful journey?Copy !req
34. No, no, no, no, man.
No!Copy !req
35. No, you can't...
No, you can't!Copy !req
36. It's shit. It's shit!Copy !req
37. Get fucking out of my car.Copy !req
38. Give me anything, a song,
a hook, anything I can work with.Copy !req
39. I'm not asking for much.Copy !req
40. That's something. That's good.Copy !req
41. Until you started to sing.Copy !req
42. Fuck.Copy !req
43. Shit.Copy !req
44. Where's Mom?Copy !req
45. Where's my daughter?Copy !req
46. What do you mean?Copy !req
47. Your mom has a deadline.
She asked me to watch you today.Copy !req
48. Let's go.Copy !req
49. So where do you want to go,
the Museum of Natural History?Copy !req
50. You want to go to the park
and get ice cream or what?Copy !req
51. Why would I want to do that?
I'm not ten.Copy !req
52. What's that smell?Copy !req
53. Oh, that's gasoline. I was filling up
the car with gasoline,Copy !req
54. and then I spilled
a little on my pant leg.Copy !req
55. That isn't alcohol.Copy !req
56. I think I got a meeting here.Copy !req
57. You want to wait here
or you want to come?Copy !req
58. You think you have a meeting?
Do you or not?Copy !req
59. Let's see.Copy !req
60. See? This is fun, right?Copy !req
61. When we came into this neighborhood
in '92, there was nobody here.Copy !req
62. It was like a war zone.
Hookers, crack...Copy !req
63. - Now it's totally gentrified.
- I know, Dad.Copy !req
64. I've had the tour.Copy !req
65. OK, we're gonna
go up here. Just be quiet.Copy !req
66. There's more of a dynamic of...Copy !req
67. I think it's a great way
to generate revenue for the company.Copy !req
68. - Hi, um...
- Hey.Copy !req
69. Was there bad traffic?Copy !req
70. Uh, no, traffic was actually
pretty good. I was just passing by.Copy !req
71. OK, well, we were just...
we were...Copy !req
72. closing up about this
audio commentary piece.Copy !req
73. Yeah, shit idea.
It was a shit idea then.Copy !req
74. Still a shit idea.
It didn't age well.Copy !req
75. Oh yeah, we...
we appreciate your candor.Copy !req
76. We had... We had a different
view of it here, though.Copy !req
77. I mean, musicians, for the most part,
are pretty much monosyllabic teenagersCopy !req
78. who really don't have that much to say,
and that's the good ones, right?Copy !req
79. So what are we doing here?
The music industry is fine.Copy !req
80. It's always gonna be fine.
We always have been fine.Copy !req
81. Maybe the kids are right.
Maybe music should be free anyway.Copy !req
82. That's an alarming thing to hear
the head of a record company say.Copy !req
83. - What? The truth?
- Well, um...Copy !req
84. - Hm. Thanks so much, Karen.
- Yeah, let me know.Copy !req
85. Uh, let's... let's talk more.
I really appreciate you...Copy !req
86. - Yeah, of course.
- ... coming by.Copy !req
87. - Thanks, guys.
- Great meeting.Copy !req
88. - Good to see you, Dan.
- I'm glad we got that figured out.Copy !req
89. - Thank you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
90. Bands doing audio commentary
on their own musicCopy !req
91. is so fucking lame,
Saul, and you know it.Copy !req
92. Ten years ago, man,
you would've shit on that idea.Copy !req
93. It's something.
It's an idea.Copy !req
94. It's something that helps
keep the lights on. It's something.Copy !req
95. We need vision,
not gimmicks.Copy !req
96. - That's us.
- I've been following you, Mr. Mulligan.Copy !req
97. Down a track on every long shotCopy !req
98. you've been bringing
in here for the last five years,Copy !req
99. and which one of them has come in?
Which one?Copy !req
100. Dan. Dan!Copy !req
101. See you later, brother Saul.Copy !req
102. Dan!Copy !req
103. We need to talk, man.Copy !req
104. Come back here.
Don't you walk away from me, man.Copy !req
105. You can't do this shit, man.
You can't pull this shit, dude.Copy !req
106. You can't pull this shit!Copy !req
107. You want to do...
Don't do this here.Copy !req
108. I'm gonna do it right fucking here.Copy !req
109. - Let's do it, then.
- All right, let's do it!Copy !req
110. - Because they know, they know.
- They know what?Copy !req
111. These people know that they
are sitting behind those desksCopy !req
112. because I started an
independent record labelCopy !req
113. above that bar, Saul.Copy !req
114. And we changed the way that
things were gonna be done, man.Copy !req
115. - Nurture and foster.
- Things change, times change.Copy !req
116. People got to change with them, Dan.Copy !req
117. It's not working.
You got to go.Copy !req
118. I don't have time
for this shit, man.Copy !req
119. I got my own shit
going on, all right?Copy !req
120. I'm getting... I'm taking my
client list. I'm out of here, man.Copy !req
121. I am fucking out of here.Copy !req
122. What are you talking about?
They signed to us.Copy !req
123. Don't bother her.
Don't bother her.Copy !req
124. It's not Jerry Maguire.Copy !req
125. Dad, let's go.Copy !req
126. I'm taking my art, then.
That's it, I'm taking the art.Copy !req
127. It's my art.
I paid for it.Copy !req
128. I bought it.
I picked it out.Copy !req
129. - I got it.
- Get away from me. Get away.Copy !req
130. - I got it, I got it.
- No, you don't. Let go.Copy !req
131. Stop it!
Leave it there.Copy !req
132. I'm coming back for that.
That's mine.Copy !req
133. All of that's mine.
Come on, baby.Copy !req
134. You want another one?Copy !req
135. Um, I do, but I won't.Copy !req
136. I mustn't. I can't.Copy !req
137. How could he fire me when I set
the whole fucking thing up?Copy !req
138. Did you?Copy !req
139. Don't you know anything
about your father?Copy !req
140. Yeah.
I do.Copy !req
141. - I know what Mom says.
- What does Mom say?Copy !req
142. She says you're a pathetic loser.Copy !req
143. She says that affectionately.Copy !req
144. What about you?
What do you think?Copy !req
145. I don't really know you.Copy !req
146. So...Copy !req
147. You know, two years is a long time
in the life of a teenager.Copy !req
148. - Where'd you learn to talk like that?
- My psychiatrist.Copy !req
149. Psychiatrist.
You have a psychiatrist now?Copy !req
150. I do. Mom thought it would be
a good idea. I was acting strange.Copy !req
151. There's nothing strange
about you, all right?Copy !req
152. You're 15 years old. You don't need
a fucking psychiatrist.Copy !req
153. Believe me, I know.
I know you better than anybody.Copy !req
154. Yeah, you sure do, Dad.Copy !req
155. How old did you say I was?Copy !req
156. Did I say you were 15?
I meant you were 14.Copy !req
157. Did I say 15?Copy !req
158. You got money to pay
for these beers?Copy !req
159. I don't... I... I'm a kid.
I don't have any money on me.Copy !req
160. - What happened to your pocket money?
- I spent that on condoms.Copy !req
161. I... What?Copy !req
162. No, no, no, no, no.
Too much information.Copy !req
163. - You ready?
- For what?Copy !req
164. Ah!Copy !req
165. That was fun, right?
Don't smile.Copy !req
166. - It was fun, Dad.
- Yeah. You had a good time.Copy !req
167. We haven't ran like that
since you were little. That was good.Copy !req
168. - This your daddy?
- Hey.Copy !req
169. - I'm glad you're here.
- Look away.Copy !req
170. I was just going to the car...Copy !req
171. - You OK?
- I'm fine.Copy !req
172. I'm sorry. My bad.Copy !req
173. Have a great day.Copy !req
174. I could've taken that guy,
just didn't want to make a scene.Copy !req
175. Do me a favor, all right? Don't tell
your mom I lost my job today.Copy !req
176. Listen to me...Copy !req
177. Thanks for a really
normal day, Dad.Copy !req
178. What?Copy !req
179. Shit.Copy !req
180. Hello, everyone.Copy !req
181. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
182. - How's work?
- Uh, fine.Copy !req
183. You look hungry.Copy !req
184. Her teachers are
really worried about her.Copy !req
185. No girls like her at school.
She is distant, and basically,Copy !req
186. the only people who want
to hang outwith herCopy !req
187. are older boys who want to fuck her.Copy !req
188. Oh, really? And you find that
a big surpriseCopy !req
189. seeing how you let... you let
her walk out of the houseCopy !req
190. looking like... l... like...
Jodie Foster from Taxi Driver?Copy !req
191. She dresses the way she wants to,Copy !req
192. and besides, any daughter
who dresses like thatCopy !req
193. - only wants one thing.
- A pimp?Copy !req
194. - No, Dan, think about it.
- A daddy.Copy !req
195. That is fucking bullshit.Copy !req
196. She needs some guidance,
for fuck's sake.Copy !req
197. Well, guide her! Guide her!Copy !req
198. You waltz in here
like a fucking clown,Copy !req
199. you tell me how to raise my kid,Copy !req
200. the kid that you pick up
once a month and decideCopy !req
201. you have a fucking conscience about.
You know what?Copy !req
202. Thirty seconds after you're gone,Copy !req
203. we'll have totally forgotten
you were ever here.Copy !req
204. Thank you.Copy !req
205. Shit.Copy !req
206. Fuck.Copy !req
207. I thought there was no hope.Copy !req
208. I thought there were no answers,Copy !req
209. and then I found God.Copy !req
210. God may not always be
on our time,Copy !req
211. but he's on time.Copy !req
212. Whenever you're alone...
Sir?Copy !req
213. Go.Copy !req
214. Have a talk with God.Copy !req
215. Right, man.
OK.Copy !req
216. I'm gonna have a little talk
with God, all right.Copy !req
217. Thank you. Thank you.Copy !req
218. What if he doesn't answer?Copy !req
219. Attention,
due to a signal malfunctionCopy !req
220. at Jay Street,
the next uptown train...Copy !req
221. - Fuck.
- ... will arrive in 20 minutes.Copy !req
222. Hey.
Give me a bourbon. Hurry up.Copy !req
223. - What kind of bourbon you want?
- Well, I don't care.Copy !req
224. and I was wonderingCopy !req
225. if it might be OK if she came
up here and sang a song.Copy !req
226. Is that OK? Yeah?Copy !req
227. Gretta, would you
come up here, please?Copy !req
228. Hi.Copy !req
229. So, this is a new song,
so it might be kind of rough. Um...Copy !req
230. It's for anyone who's ever
been alone in the city.Copy !req
231. Thanks.Copy !req
232. - I'm in.
- What?Copy !req
233. I want to make records with you.Copy !req
234. I want to...
I want to produce you.Copy !req
235. I want to sign you.
We're meant to work together.Copy !req
236. Sorry, didn't you see
what just happened up there?Copy !req
237. Yeah, what? Are you
feeling sorry for yourself?Copy !req
238. No, I like my music. Who cares
if they don't get it, right?Copy !req
239. You just need to work on
your performance a bit.Copy !req
240. I'm not a performer,
I write songs from time to time.Copy !req
241. Are all the songs
as good as that one?Copy !req
242. Are you really an A&R man?
You look more like a homeless man.Copy !req
243. I've been celebrating all weekend,
I signed a band and we got carried away.Copy !req
244. That's some song you got there.
I promise you it could be a big hit.Copy !req
245. Plus, you're beautiful.Copy !req
246. Sorry, what's beauty
got to do with anything?Copy !req
247. - Jesus, you're tricky, aren't you?
- No, I actually just thinkCopy !req
248. that music is about ears,
not eyes.Copy !req
249. And I'm not Judy Garland
just off a Greyhound busCopy !req
250. looking for stardom,
but really, thank you.Copy !req
251. - OK, bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
252. OK, here's the truth.Copy !req
253. I couldn't have signed you
if I wanted to, all right?Copy !req
254. OK.Copy !req
255. I didn't come from a signing tonight.
I haven't signed anybody in seven years.Copy !req
256. My label's completely lost
all faith in me.Copy !req
257. So why did you give me your card?Copy !req
258. Force of habit. If I look homeless,
it's because I practically am.Copy !req
259. I left my home about a year or so ago.Copy !req
260. I'm sleeping on a shitty mattress
in some shitty apartment,Copy !req
261. and I wasn't celebrating tonight.Copy !req
262. I was drinking my ass off
standing on a subway platformCopy !req
263. ready to kill myself,
and then I heard your song.Copy !req
264. - Want to get a beer?
- Sure.Copy !req
265. OK, come on.Copy !req
266. "Dan Mulligan. Born 1966.Copy !req
267. Headed A&R department
at Island Records for two years.Copy !req
268. Left to cofound indie label
Distressed RecordsCopy !req
269. with Harvard classmate Saul Byron."
So you own Distressed Records?Copy !req
270. I sold all my interests
due to emotional difficulties.Copy !req
271. - What emotional difficulties?
- I was too emotional. Read on.Copy !req
272. "Very active on the hip-hop scene
in New York in the early '90s,Copy !req
273. the pair were responsible
for discoveringCopy !req
274. numerous breakthrough artists.
Won two Grammys as producer.Copy !req
275. Lives in New York
with wife, music journalist,Copy !req
276. Miriam Hart, and their daughter."Copy !req
277. - What happened to the Grammys?
- I pawned them.Copy !req
278. You pawned them?
How much did you get for them?Copy !req
279. 125 for the both of them,
which got me nice and wastedCopy !req
280. - one weekend a couple months ago.
- Were you drunk when you heard my song?Copy !req
281. Absolutely,
that's when the magic happens.Copy !req
282. - What magic?
- I hear things.Copy !req
283. - You hear things?
- Arrangements.Copy !req
284. You need to be drunk
for that sort of thing.Copy !req
285. You must've been drunk tonight,
because nobody else heard anything.Copy !req
286. No, your song's good.
It's you.Copy !req
287. Standing up there like a tomboy.
I don't mean to be offensive,Copy !req
288. but don't you think that look's
a little passé?Copy !req
289. - Really?
- Seriously.Copy !req
290. We get you a look
and a killer video,Copy !req
291. and you'll go straight to the top.Copy !req
292. I'm thinking Norah Jones,
singer-songwriter thing at a piano.Copy !req
293. Or the... or The Cardigans,
back in the day, when they...Copy !req
294. when they first came to America?
Maybe even Deborah Harry.Copy !req
295. A male band behind you.
What? You find that amusing?Copy !req
296. No, I'm sorry, something
went down the wrong way.Copy !req
297. Sorry? No, you were saying? Me with
a cardigan on? Norah Jones?Copy !req
298. Babe, who the fuck
do you think you are?Copy !req
299. You're gonna stand up
on a stage with a beat-up guitarCopy !req
300. and you think you're
Carole fucking King?Copy !req
301. No, I just think that an A&R manCopy !req
302. telling an artist how they should dress
or come across is total bullshit.Copy !req
303. People don't want that.
They want authenticity.Copy !req
304. OK, babe.
Authenticity.Copy !req
305. Give me the name of one artist that
you think passes your authenticity test.Copy !req
306. - Dylan.
- Dylan!Copy !req
307. That is the most cultivated artist
you could've thought of.Copy !req
308. His hair, his sunglasses.
He changes his look every decade.Copy !req
309. Randy Newman.Copy !req
310. I fucking love Randy Newman.
OK? You got me on that.Copy !req
311. Listen to me.Copy !req
312. I am not saying that you can't beCopy !req
313. a real bona fide motherfucker
in this business,Copy !req
314. but you got to do whatever it takes
and get people in to see your shows,Copy !req
315. where the music can start
to do its real work.Copy !req
316. Oh, my God.
What are we even talking about?Copy !req
317. You can't sign me,
and I don't want to be signed.Copy !req
318. That's right!
What's not to like?Copy !req
319. Come on, let's get out of here.Copy !req
320. Ah, shit. You're gonna have to
get these beers, though.Copy !req
321. OK, so, uh...Copy !req
322. - It was really nice to meet you.
- Oh. Where are you going?Copy !req
323. To sleep.
I have a plane to catch tomorrow.Copy !req
324. Where?Copy !req
325. - Home.
- Why?Copy !req
326. Because I'm sick of this city,
and I want to go back to Uni.Copy !req
327. Oh, come on. Come on, no one
comes to New York and just leavesCopy !req
328. without something terrible happening.
What? What happened to you?Copy !req
329. Hey-Copy !req
330. Come on, you can... you can share
with me. I'm no stranger to misery.Copy !req
331. Listen, just come to my labelCopy !req
332. and let me play your demo
to my partner.Copy !req
333. If it doesn't work out, I will
personally pay to change your ticket.Copy !req
334. What's one more day in New York,
for crying out loud?Copy !req
335. You're just probably gonna go
home and mope around anyway.Copy !req
336. All right, look,
I'm gonna go home and think about it,Copy !req
337. and I'll call you
either way tomorrow. OK?Copy !req
338. - Good answer.
- Yeah.Copy !req
339. - It was very nice to meet you.
- Yes, pleasure.Copy !req
340. Pleasure's mine.
Hey, you... you got my number, right?Copy !req
341. Yeah.Copy !req
342. - Hi! Dave?
- Yes.Copy !req
343. Hi. I'm Jill.
I work in hospitality at the label.Copy !req
344. - Nice to meet you.
- You too.Copy !req
345. - Hello. I'm Gretta.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
346. - Thanks.
- You're welcome.Copy !req
347. Right this way.
Thank you, Marco.Copy !req
348. I think you're really
gonna like the apartment.Copy !req
349. - It's very high-end.
- Sorry, ladies.Copy !req
350. Hey, I... I'm sorry. Are you, um...
You're Dave Kohl.Copy !req
351. - Yes. Yeah.
- Yeah, I told you guys.Copy !req
352. We just, um... we saw your film the
other day. I so love your songs in it.Copy !req
353. Thank you very, very much.
This is Gretta, my girlfriend.Copy !req
354. - She writes songs, too.
- Oh, cool.Copy !req
355. Oh, would you mind taking a photograph.
That'd be so awesome.Copy !req
356. Just that button right there.
Yeah.Copy !req
357. - Yeah, it's a good one.
- Thank you!Copy !req
358. - All right, thank you.
- Thank you so much, you guys.Copy !req
359. You're gonna
have to get used to that.Copy !req
360. This movie is selling out
all over town.Copy !req
361. - It's crazy.
- Unbelievable.Copy !req
362. Oh, no, it's real.Copy !req
363. All right, here we are.
We hope you like.Copy !req
364. So, uh, your fridge in here
is stocked with food.Copy !req
365. There are two sets of keys
on the table in there.Copy !req
366. This is your driver's number and my
cell phone number. I'll leave that here.Copy !req
367. You're due at the label
later this afternoonCopy !req
368. to meet everyone and say hi,Copy !req
369. then we'll take a tour
around the studio.Copy !req
370. So, probably want to catch up
on your sleep before then.Copy !req

378. Should I have come over in,
like, a week or twoCopy !req
379. and let you settle in first
and get used to everything?Copy !req
380. - No.
- Are you sure?Copy !req
381. Yeah. I don't know if I could
do this without you. It's kind of scary.Copy !req
382. - Am I a wimp for saying that?
- Eh...Copy !req
383. Hey! There he is.
Big Dave.Copy !req

on a track or two, I hope, right?Copy !req
394. Oh, yeah, sure.
I mean, if Dave wants.Copy !req
395. Yeah, Gretta and I have been writing
together for a couple years now,Copy !req
396. even before the film came along.Copy !req
397. So I would love for us
to try a couple of her songs.Copy !req
398. Did you... did you write
on the film with him?Copy !req
399. - No. No, no, no. No, I...
- No?Copy !req
400. I mean, that's the sound we're
after is from the movie, right?Copy !req
401. - Of course.
- Oui?Copy !req
402. - Yes, yes.
- Si? Capice?Copy !req
403. Yes, I just, you know... Gretta's
very much a part of the inspirationCopy !req
404. behind everything, you know,
so I just thought...Copy !req
405. She's not just my girlfriend.
We're partners almost.Copy !req
406. - I just wanted to include her.
- Um, just to be completely clear,Copy !req
407. I'm... I'm just tagging along on this.Copy !req
408. I'm really happy to be here
and more than happyCopy !req
409. to accompany Dave
on a couple of tracks.Copy !req
410. How sweet is this girl?
I love that.Copy !req
411. Whew.Copy !req
412. How great are these guys?
I love them.Copy !req
413. Rolling Stone.Copy !req
414. Yeah, thank you so much.Copy !req
415. All right, it was
great talking to you. Thanks.Copy !req
416. What's that?Copy !req
417. - That's matcha tea.
- Matcha tea?Copy !req
418. Yeah. It's got, like,
four million antioxidants in it.Copy !req
419. - Oh my God, it tastes like piss.
- I like it.Copy !req
420. Samurais used to drink it
before they went into battle.Copy !req
421. You're not a samurai;
you're a songwriter.Copy !req
422. - Well, I'm kind of like a samurai.
- Are you?Copy !req
423. - OK, bring it back to the start.
- Let me give these to the guys.Copy !req
424. Oh, hey. We got to go
to LA for a week on Monday.Copy !req
425. - We're going to LA?
- Uh, no, sorry.Copy !req
426. It's just with some label guys.
They have an office there.Copy !req
427. They want me to meet
this video director guy.Copy !req
428. But in the meantime, I'd really
like you to listen to this. So yes?Copy !req
429. Yes, I'm sorry. I'll, uh...
deliver coffee.Copy !req
430. OK.Copy !req
431. - Hey, guys, can we do this again?
- You got it, Dave. Take two.Copy !req
432. And rolling.Copy !req
433. Thank you.Copy !req
434. Oh my God!Copy !req
435. - Hello!
- Look at you!Copy !req
436. Oh my God!Copy !req
437. He has the studio for three months,
and then we go on tour,Copy !req
438. - so I think we're staying for six?
- This is unbelievable.Copy !req
439. You're total rock stars.Copy !req
440. Which studio is he working with?Copy !req
441. - Electric Lady.
- Oh, fuck off.Copy !req
442. - I know.
- Oh my...Copy !req
443. - Cool, isn't it?
- Are you serious?Copy !req
444. - So, uh, this is me.
- Aw, it's lovely.Copy !req
445. It's like that old joke. You put the key
in the door, you break a window.Copy !req
446. My God, look at all this stuff.Copy !req
447. Yeah, a lot of the studios,
uh, are upgrading.Copy !req
448. So they're practically giving stuff
away. I can record an album here soon.Copy !req
449. Well, that'd be cool.Copy !req
450. Look at you.
You've got CDs.Copy !req
451. Yeah, I just phased out
all my cassettes. Have a sit down.Copy !req
452. - It's very retro of you.
- I have whiskey or water.Copy !req
453. - Whiskey, please.
- Of course you will.Copy !req
454. Look what you've got.Copy !req
455. People are
going crazy for that here.Copy !req
456. When I play a show, and the people
know I went to college in Bristol,Copy !req
457. the first thing they ask
is if I know your boyfriend.Copy !req
458. Tell me about it. I'm becoming
"Dave Kohl's girlfriend" back home.Copy !req
459. I'm like, "Hello, we used to
be a team. What happened?"Copy !req
460. Ah, you know what they say,
get your songs in a movie.Copy !req
461. So this is me. This is where I've been
for God knows how long.Copy !req
462. - I love it. Yeah.
- Do you?Copy !req
463. Did you see the bed?
I made that bed.Copy !req
464. That's impressive.
How do you get up there?Copy !req
465. I vault. I vault.Copy !req
466. You vault? With a pole?Copy !req
467. No, no pole.
It's just, it's one...Copy !req
468. I do it in one straight,
like, one straight luge.Copy !req
469. Unless I'm drunk, in which...
in which case I...Copy !req
470. it's often a dismount.Copy !req
471. - God.
- It's the back I like.Copy !req
472. It's like he's holding a guitar,Copy !req
473. but he wants you
to think it's his penis.Copy !req
474. He's saying,
"Look, it's a guitar, but it's not.Copy !req
475. This is the actual size of my penis."Copy !req
476. Why, no?Copy !req
477. I am gonna shoot this
because you have to play thatCopy !req
478. the way you just played it.Copy !req
479. OK, you play the guitar, 'cause I can't
do that when that thing's on.Copy !req
480. I will. OK, where's...Copy !req
481. - It's in G.
- I know G.Copy !req
482. - I don't like that.
- I can play G.Copy !req
483. It doesn't matter,
you have to get over this.Copy !req
484. - This is an exercise.
- Yes. Ready?Copy !req
485. Slower.Copy !req
486. Done.Copy !req
487. - What do you think?
- What do I think?Copy !req
488. I think...Copy !req
489. I think I'm angry. I think I...Copy !req
490. I think I'm mad at you
'cause it's so goodCopy !req
491. that I hate you a little bit.Copy !req
492. So incredibly good.Copy !req
493. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
494. - Really?
- Yeah, what's it called?Copy !req
495. I don't know.
Um, "Lost Stars"?Copy !req
496. - You like it?
- I... I don't like it.Copy !req
497. I think it's... I love it,Copy !req
498. and I think it's incredible,
and is it...Copy !req
499. Is it about... It's about me? It's not
about your other boyfriend, right?Copy !req
500. I don't know if it's about you,
but it's definitely for you.Copy !req
501. - I'll take it.
- It's your Christmas presentCopy !req
502. 'cause I can't afford to buy you
another one. Happy Christmas!Copy !req
503. This is the only present I want.Copy !req
504. - Yeah? Happy Christmas.
- Thank you very much.Copy !req
505. - I love you.
- I love you.Copy !req
506. Aah! Turn it off, turn it off,
turn it off, turn it off.Copy !req
507. Hi.Copy !req
508. - I missed you.
- I missed you.Copy !req
509. - What... what did you do?
- Uh, nothing, really.Copy !req
510. I just kind of hung around here.Copy !req
511. I went to some botanical gardens.Copy !req
512. - Oh, really?
- It was very lovely.Copy !req
513. - Nice.
- Yeah, it was good.Copy !req
514. I wrote a new song.Copy !req
515. - Did you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
516. I was inspired in LA.Copy !req
517. - Want to hear it?
- Wow, yeah.Copy !req
518. - Would you be interested in that?
- I'd be very interested in that.Copy !req
519. - I've got it right here.
- How exciting.Copy !req
520. Fuck!Copy !req
521. What the fuck is wrong with you?Copy !req
522. You're like a fucking mind reader.Copy !req
523. Who is it for?Copy !req
524. Mim.Copy !req
525. Mim from the label, Mim?Copy !req
526. Mim...Copy !req
527. Mim, who we met...Copy !req
528. one month ago? Mim, Mim?Copy !req
529. Yeah.Copy !req
530. Was she in LA with you?Copy !req
531. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
532. I don't know what to say.Copy !req
533. It just happened.
I...Copy !req
534. Maybe it'll go away.
Maybe it'll fade.Copy !req
535. I just...
I have to see it through.Copy !req
536. Do you want to put your head
this end or this end?Copy !req
537. Obviously...Copy !req
538. Do you want a tea?Copy !req
539. I don't remember
if you take sugar or...Copy !req
540. I'm gonna wing it.
I'll wing it.Copy !req
541. Please, won't you
come outwith me tonight?Copy !req
542. I'm gonna play some songs
down at this open mic night.Copy !req
543. - Why don't you come with me?
- 'Cause I hate your fucking songs.Copy !req
544. All right, I think we both know
that that isn't true, so...Copy !req
545. Sorry, I didn't... No.
I... I love your songs.Copy !req
546. I'm just... I...Copy !req
547. I'm being fucking horrendous right now,
which is exactly why I need to, um...Copy !req
548. I need to go home.Copy !req
549. That's exactly why you need
to come with me.Copy !req
550. Come on. I insist.Copy !req
551. - Uh...
- Pick that up and come with me.Copy !req
552. You're coming.
I'm not leaving you here.Copy !req
553. I'll come back, I'll find your
fucking head in the oven. Come with me.Copy !req
554. Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
I have a friend here tonight.Copy !req
555. And if it's OK with you,
I was wonderingCopy !req
556. if you'd like her to come up here
and play one of her songs.Copy !req
557. - Yeah!
- ls... is that OK?Copy !req
558. Yeah? Gretta, would you
come up here, please?Copy !req
559. - Hello?
- Hey.Copy !req
560. Were you serious last night
about signing me?Copy !req
561. Who is this?Copy !req
562. Really?Copy !req
563. I'm joking. Yeah, I was serious.Copy !req
564. I have all my suits here.Copy !req
565. Would you get me a nice suit
and make me look nice, princess?Copy !req
566. - Wait, you can't just...
- I heard a song last night,Copy !req
567. and I'm telling you,
it's exactly what thatCopy !req
568. - shit-ass label needs.
- I'm glad.Copy !req
569. You can't just barge in here.
You can't come in like this.Copy !req
570. - Why?
- Uh, because that's our arrangement.Copy !req
571. - You got somebody here?
- That's not the point.Copy !req
572. We have an arrangement.Copy !req
573. - Hello!
- Stop it, will you?Copy !req
574. - Stray man! Any stray man!
- It's not funny.Copy !req
575. Don't worry about me,
it's just the husband taking a shower.Copy !req
576. - You can continue fucking my wife!
- Hey.Copy !req
577. - That's not funny.
- Hey, I'm sorry.Copy !req
578. If I did, you'd be the first I'd tell.Copy !req
579. - OK?
- Oh, so you're not.Copy !req
580. - I'll get you a shirt and a...
- No razor!Copy !req
581. Stop it.
All right?Copy !req
582. You want to come in?
You want sexy time?Copy !req
583. No.Copy !req
584. OK, ready?Copy !req
585. So where are we going, Mr. A&R Man?Copy !req
586. We're going to my partner to play him
your music. Got your demo?Copy !req
587. No.Copy !req
588. - You don't have a demo?
- No.Copy !req
589. Do you have MySpace
or Facebook or anything?Copy !req
590. MySpace? No, I...
No, I don't. I just...Copy !req
591. I... You know, I told you,
I write songs from time to time.Copy !req
592. - What do you write them for?
- What do you mean, "what for"?Copy !req
593. For my pleasure and for my cat.Copy !req
594. Oh really?
Does he like them?Copy !req
595. She. Yes, she seems to.Copy !req
596. - How do you know?
- Because she purrs.Copy !req
597. Maybe she's booing.Copy !req
598. No, she purrs at Leonard Cohen, too,
and she has very good taste.Copy !req
599. - Maybe she's fucking with you.
- Can we stop talking about cats now?Copy !req
600. - OK.
- OK.Copy !req
601. Fuck it. Let's do this
the old-fashioned way.Copy !req
602. Thank you, Gretta.
Thanks very much. Thanks for coming in.Copy !req
603. I'm just gonna take
a moment to talk with Dan for a minute.Copy !req
604. Thank you.Copy !req
605. I'm not into it,
it's a little undercooked for me.Copy !req
606. She seems to have kind of
an attitude problem and...Copy !req
607. What are you looking for, man?Copy !req
608. What, you want some...
some little teenage pop starCopy !req
609. whose mom's been raising her
since two years old for stardom?Copy !req
610. - I mean...
- No, that's not what I'm looking for,Copy !req
611. but if you know someone
like that, I mean...Copy !req
612. Just give me the money to make the demo.
I'll take her into the studio.Copy !req
613. Get a hot-shit producer. Get a couple
session musicians, dial the thing out.Copy !req
614. Then you can hear what I'm hearing,
and then you can tell me to fuck myself.Copy !req
615. People send us their demos.
It's not the other way around.Copy !req
616. We don't... we don't make demos.Copy !req
617. We're prospectors, man,
we're investors.Copy !req
618. We're digging for gold.Copy !req
619. Make a tape,
and we'll get back to you.Copy !req
620. That's the best I can
do right now, bro.Copy !req
621. So I've been thinking.Copy !req
622. Why do we even need
to rent a fucking studio?Copy !req
623. Because... you need a desk,
a live room and soundproofing.Copy !req
624. Laptop, Pro Tools,
a couple dynamic mics,Copy !req
625. - and the city is our fucking live room.
- You mean record outside?Copy !req
626. - That's right.
- Like where?Copy !req
627. Everywhere.Copy !req
628. Fuck him. We don't need a demo.
Let's... let's record an album.Copy !req
629. Every song we do in a
different location.Copy !req
630. All over New York City.
And we do it through the summer,Copy !req
631. and it becomes this tribute
to this beautiful,Copy !req
632. goddamn crazy, fractured mess
of a city, New York.Copy !req
633. OK, like, under the bridge
on the Lower East Side.Copy !req
634. Top of the Empire State Building.Copy !req
635. Rowing boats in the lake
in Central Park.Copy !req
636. Chinatown. Cathedral
of Saint John the Divine.Copy !req
637. OK, in the subway,
in fucking Harlem, everywhere, OK?Copy !req
638. OK, so what happens
if it starts raining?Copy !req
639. Whatever happens, we record it.Copy !req
640. - If we get arrested?
- Keep rolling. It'll be beautiful.Copy !req
641. You like it?Copy !req
642. What do you think?
It's good.Copy !req
643. - It's good. Come on.
- Will you produce it?Copy !req
644. - Me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
645. No, I haven't produced
in a long time.Copy !req
646. We'll get somebody young to produce it.Copy !req
647. - No, but I want you to do it.
- Why?Copy !req
648. Because I do.Copy !req
649. I'll give you strings,
but we definitely need piano.Copy !req
650. Fill in the guitars underneath.Copy !req
651. - Got it. I love it. Done.
- Done.Copy !req
652. The world's first Jag
mobile recording studio...Copy !req
653. is done.Copy !req
654. - It's bloody genius, it is.
- Where do you want to go?Copy !req
655. We need musicians.
Terminally, miserably bored musicians.Copy !req
656. And after that, I think,
then you bring in the violin and cello.Copy !req
657. First cello, then violin.Copy !req
658. When we get into that guitar thing,Copy !req
659. I want it to just become
a whole different kind of song.Copy !req
660. This is Malcolm.
Malcolm is a child prodigy.Copy !req
661. He's been playing violin
since he was five years old.Copy !req
662. I technically started when I was four.Copy !req
663. Four.Copy !req
664. - Wow.
- And this is his older sister, Rachel.Copy !req
665. She's at the Manhattan School of Music
on a full scholarship.Copy !req
666. - Top-of-her-class cellist.
- That's amazing.Copy !req
667. So here's the deal.
I can't afford to pay you up front,Copy !req
668. so I want to offer you a...
a legitimate back-end deal.Copy !req
669. Sound good?Copy !req
670. Yeah, as long as it's
not fucking Vivaldi.Copy !req
671. It's not fucking Vivaldi.Copy !req
672. It's great. No, no, no.
I'm not... It's great.Copy !req
673. We definitely need piano.
Like, fill in the guitar underneath.Copy !req
674. - Major seventh...
- Got it. I love it.Copy !req
675. Steve, beautiful.Copy !req
676. - Zach, what's going on?
- I quit.Copy !req
677. - Good luck, girls.
- Bye!Copy !req
678. Keep in touch, yeah?Copy !req
679. When we get into that guitar thing,Copy !req
680. I want it to just become
a whole different kind of song.Copy !req
681. I want it to be punk meets...Copy !req
682. pop.
And have some fun.Copy !req
683. Ah, he's home.Copy !req
684. Dano, what's up, man?Copy !req
685. Troublegum, my brother.
My troubles are over.Copy !req
686. - What say you give me some love?
- This is it, gangsta paradise.Copy !req
687. - Right?
- I'm glad to see you.Copy !req
688. Thanks to you, thanks to you.Copy !req
689. Come give me a hug.
I don't know you, but...Copy !req
690. That's Gretta.
Great singer and songwriter.Copy !req
691. - Let's get another one.
- Another one?Copy !req
692. Where have you been?
It's been two or three years.Copy !req
693. - I don't appreciate this shit.
- Been on the down low a little bit.Copy !req
694. - Doing this, doing that.
- Waiting for the next move.Copy !req
695. Anticipating the next groove.Copy !req
696. I know you got a lot of
shit to prove. Right?Copy !req
697. Been on the underground,
looking for that new sound.Copy !req
698. We ain't fucking around.Copy !req
699. Yeah, 'cause if it ain't right,
then it's wrong.Copy !req
700. And the road is long,Copy !req
701. and you're only as strong
as your next move.Copy !req
702. - You feel that?
- Good, man.Copy !req
703. - That's pretty much it.
- Damn, that was like some...Copy !req
704. paranormal activity
type shit moving through me.Copy !req
705. - You know me.
- I'm just so happy to see you.Copy !req
706. So nice.Copy !req
707. Fat Jimmy, did you get that down?Copy !req
708. - Yeah, I got it.
- 'Cause that was exceptionally good.Copy !req
709. Hold my hand, baby, come on.
Now, how can I help you, brother?Copy !req
710. An outdoor album?Copy !req
711. - That's right.
- That's fucking crazy.Copy !req
712. I wish I could've thought of that.
What do you want me to do?Copy !req
713. I need musicians.
I need a bass player and a drummer.Copy !req
714. - I got plenty of musicians.
- The problem is we can't pay them.Copy !req
715. Fuck it, I'll pay them.Copy !req
716. - Why?
- What do you mean, why?Copy !req
717. For him, of course.Copy !req
718. - Now, come on...
- No.Copy !req
719. - Get your sexy self in the pool.
- Come on.Copy !req
720. No. Don't you touch me.
I will kill you. I will.Copy !req
721. She's English.
She's a little uptight.Copy !req
722. Yeah...Copy !req
723. - Good luck on the album, Gretta.
- Thank you.Copy !req
724. Everything you see around here,
this crib, these cars,Copy !req
725. they're all because of him,
and I don't ever forget that.Copy !req
726. - I get it.
- No, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
727. You can't know.Copy !req
728. A guy like that falls on his lip
for a couple of years,Copy !req
729. people lose sight of who he is,
and they don't treat himCopy !req
730. with the respect he deserves.Copy !req
731. Hey, don't listen to anything
he's saying. It's bullshit.Copy !req
732. - Come on.
- Yeah.Copy !req
733. - Thanks.
- All right.Copy !req
734. - Bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
735. - Anything you need, OK?
- I love you, man. Thank you.Copy !req
736. I like her.Copy !req
737. Are you serious?
Are you listening to this? Really?Copy !req
738. We're gonna use it!
It's gonna be genius.Copy !req
739. - You're a genius.
- You're not listening to this.Copy !req
740. You don't hear what I hear.Copy !req
741. You're gonna make this
amazing, beautiful.Copy !req
742. - I love it.
- Got it?Copy !req
743. Those kids are gonna be
all over this track.Copy !req
744. - Come here.
- Just so you know.Copy !req
745. Take that.Copy !req
746. Little children,
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!Copy !req
747. Let me see this for a second.Copy !req
748. Listen, I'm shooting
a song down here,Copy !req
749. I need you to be
quiet for five minutes.Copy !req
750. - No, thanks.
- I'll... I'll pay you.Copy !req
751. - How much?
- A buck each.Copy !req
752. - You're funny. Five dollars.
- Five bucks for all of you guys.Copy !req
753. OK, hey, OK, two bucks,
two bucks each.Copy !req
754. - No.
- No way.Copy !req
755. All right, all right,
all right, five bucks each.Copy !req
756. We're gonna do this for five bucksCopy !req
757. and five lollipops,
one for each of us.Copy !req
758. Throw in a box of
cigarettes and a lighter.Copy !req
759. I'll give you one cigarette
for each of you to smokeCopy !req
760. and you share it,
and a pack of matches, all right?Copy !req
761. - Yes.
- All right. Can you sing?Copy !req
762. Yes! Yes, that was it.Copy !req
763. Yes, it's gonna work!Copy !req
764. Oh my God,
is that the Empire State?Copy !req
765. Yeah, right here.Copy !req
766. - Yeah?
- Set up here.Copy !req
767. - Get that.
- It's really good.Copy !req
768. - Yeah, it's great.
- The Wind's good, right?Copy !req
769. It's not too loud.
It's good, it's good,Copy !req
770. I think it's good.Copy !req
771. And we can look into people's windows,
which is always fun.Copy !req
772. You want to come with me
to get Violet?Copy !req
773. - Is that OK?
- Yeah, come on.Copy !req
774. - Cool.
- My brother, there you go.Copy !req
775. Thank you very much.Copy !req
776. There she is.
That's her.Copy !req
777. This is Gretta. She's the songwriter
I was telling you about.Copy !req
778. - Hello. How you doing?
- My daughter, Violet.Copy !req
779. So who was the cute guy?
The one in the blue shirt.Copy !req
780. - Greg. You noticed him?
- Sure. I mean, who wouldn't?Copy !req
781. - He's gorgeous.
- He's totally out of our league.Copy !req
782. He's out of your league?Copy !req
783. Well, I mean, he didn't look out
of your league.Copy !req
784. Ignore him.Copy !req
785. How do you get someone to notice you're
ignoring them if they're ignoring you?Copy !req
786. He's not ignoring you.
You're beautiful.Copy !req
787. He knows that you're there.
He's just hedging his bets.Copy !req
788. But...Copy !req
789. I mean, you have to be really sure
that you actually like him, you know.Copy !req
790. That's it's not just that
he's the guy at school to be seen with.Copy !req
791. No, I do really like him.Copy !req
792. Well, then you have to find a way
to get him to ask you out.Copy !req
793. Yes, but how?Copy !req
794. Well, for starters, stop dressing
like you're totally easy.Copy !req
795. I thought this was sort of sexy,
it's American Apparel.Copy !req
796. No, it is sort of sexy.
It's very, very sexy,Copy !req
797. but it doesn't leave much
to the imagination, you know?Copy !req
798. I guess.Copy !req
799. You want to go shopping?Copy !req
800. I do.Copy !req
801. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
802. OK, good.
We're going shopping.Copy !req
803. Here you go.Copy !req
804. - Thank you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
805. Good luck on the rest of your album.Copy !req
806. - It sounds cool.
- Thank you.Copy !req
807. - You have your key?
- Yep. I got it.Copy !req
808. Hey, you should come
and sing on a track.Copy !req
809. I can't sing.
I can play a bit of guitar,Copy !req
810. - if that's...
- We're doing one on Thursday.Copy !req
811. It's gonna be simple.
You should come play.Copy !req
812. Can I, Dad?Copy !req
813. I need to...
I need to contemplate that.Copy !req
814. What are you doing?Copy !req
815. - That ain't cool.
- What? What?Copy !req
816. I don't know if she can play guitar
well enough to play on a track.Copy !req
817. I don't want to embarrass her.
What if she can't play?Copy !req
818. Look, it's going to be easy.
Let her do it.Copy !req
819. Yeah?Copy !req
820. Hey, babe? Hey.Copy !req
821. - Um, where's Violet?
- Well, she's... Violet?Copy !req
822. Listen, I was wondering, uh,Copy !req
823. you think it would be cool
if she came and played guitarCopy !req
824. on one of these songs
that I'm recording on Thursday?Copy !req
825. She's terrible at guitar.Copy !req
826. - Well, she's not bad.
- She's terrible.Copy !req
827. I think she'll be OK.Copy !req
828. - Well, she's...
- Yeah. 5:00, will you bring her?Copy !req
829. I mean, that's up to you.Copy !req
830. - Yeah. I'll text you the address.
- I mean, I'll bring her.Copy !req
831. Why don't you come, too?Copy !req
832. Mm-mm.Copy !req
833. - Come on.
- No way.Copy !req
834. Come on.
Just come. It'll be fun.Copy !req
835. - I want you to come.
- I'll think about it. OK.Copy !req
836. I'll come, maybe.Copy !req
837. - Thank you.
- All right.Copy !req
838. - Bye.
- Thank you.Copy !req
839. Bye.Copy !req
840. You know, it was nice
to see you with Violet today.Copy !req
841. - It must be hard not seeing her more.
- Yeah, it's...Copy !req
842. So why don't you?Copy !req
843. I mean, she obviously
really needs her father around.Copy !req
844. What, are you the fucking
social services now?Copy !req
845. No, no, I mean, I'm just saying.Copy !req
846. It must have been fairly tense
for you to leave,Copy !req
847. especially seeing as how much
she obviously wants you around.Copy !req
848. I... I'm gonna split.
I'll see you tomorrow morning.Copy !req
849. Fuck, man.
Fuck that shit.Copy !req
850. Dan.Copy !req
851. Hey, look, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.Copy !req
852. What? What do you want from me?
What game are you playing?Copy !req
853. What does that mean?Copy !req
854. Look, I just...Copy !req
855. - What?
- I saw how sweet she was today,Copy !req
856. and I just felt sorry
for you being away from that.Copy !req
857. That is such a crock of shit.
You were back there judging me.Copy !req
858. You think that I left
that relationshipCopy !req
859. because I'm some sort
of selfish, depressed prick,Copy !req
860. - which I am, by the way.
- No. I don't thinkCopy !req
861. you're a selfish, depressed prick.
I think you've let your troublesCopy !req
862. - get in the way of your entire life.
- Oh, babe, babe.Copy !req
863. You're really showing
your age right now.Copy !req
864. You have no idea what happens
between two peopleCopy !req
865. after 18 years of marriage,
all right?Copy !req
866. And because you're willing
to hang around for some assholeCopy !req
867. after he totally betrayed you,
that's your business.Copy !req
868. I'm sorry, you're right.Copy !req
869. I put a lot of time and
effort into that relationship,Copy !req
870. and no, I'm not just walking away
because of a bump in the road!Copy !req
871. "Bump in the road"?
I left that relationshipCopy !req
872. because I was having
a fucking nervous breakdown,Copy !req
873. and she was out there
fucking some other guy,Copy !req
874. planning how she was gonna start
a new life with himCopy !req
875. when I was here taking care of my kid.Copy !req
876. You have no fucking clue
what you're talking about.Copy !req
877. You know nothing!Copy !req
878. She goes to Europe
to work on a junket, and, um...Copy !req
879. she ends up meeting
and falling in love with a singer.Copy !req
880. Bang, boom. Thunder, lightning.Copy !req
881. Fireworks. The whole bit.Copy !req
882. And...Copy !req
883. the arrangement was
that they were gonna come backCopy !req
884. and tell their partners
that they'd fallen in loveCopy !req
885. and they were gonna spend
the rest of their lives together.Copy !req
886. And so, I go to the airport
to pick her up,Copy !req
887. and she just comes outwith it,
first off. Whole story.Copy !req
888. And next day, her bags are all packed,Copy !req
889. and we're telling Violet
what's gonna happen.Copy !req
890. So what did happen?Copy !req
891. He choked.
He got on the airplane,Copy !req
892. went back to his life,
turned his phone off,Copy !req
893. and she never heard from him again.
I move into another bedroom.Copy !req
894. She's waiting around for
a phone call that never comes,Copy !req
895. and I turn into a...Copy !req
896. I lose my shit a little bit.Copy !req
897. - I'm so sorry.
- No.Copy !req
898. Maybe people in the music industry
just don't make good life partners.Copy !req
899. - Or fathers.
- Yeah, it certainly looks that way.Copy !req
900. I didn't mean about the fathers bit.
You make a very good father.Copy !req
901. - Yeah, right.
- Maybe just not a good partner.Copy !req
902. What is that?Copy !req
903. - This?
- Yeah.Copy !req
904. - That's a splitter.
- Oh.Copy !req
905. It's for, uh, two headphones
going into one input.Copy !req
906. - Yeah.
- It's actually...Copy !req
907. - ... from my first date with Miriam.
- It is?Copy !req
908. What do you mean?Copy !req
909. We walked all over the city
listening to her CD player.Copy !req
910. Um...Copy !req
911. I don't think we said more than
two words to each other the whole night.Copy !req
912. That was New Year's Eve,
and we were married two months later.Copy !req
913. Wow.
That's lovely.Copy !req
914. What kind of music you got
on your phone?Copy !req
915. I'm not giving you access
to my music library. I'm really not.Copy !req
916. There's a lot of embarrassing,
very guilty pleasures in there.Copy !req
917. Mine, too. You can tell a lot about
a person by what's on their playlist.Copy !req
918. I know you can.
That's what's worrying me.Copy !req
919. - So are we gonna do this?
- OK.Copy !req
920. OK, let's do it.Copy !req
921. This is a really good choice!Copy !req
922. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
923. - Genius.
- Genius.Copy !req
924. - Perfect, right?
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
925. - Great.
- Yeah.Copy !req
926. Yeah.Copy !req
927. - Oh, no, I forgot...!
- What?Copy !req
928. OK, OK, we got to dance!Copy !req
929. - What?
- We got to dance!Copy !req
930. All right, all right.Copy !req
931. - Yeah, we got to...
- Where?Copy !req
932. We got to dance.Copy !req
933. - This way, I know, I know, I know.
- This way.Copy !req
934. OK, so, I'm quite frightened,
'cause you might find this cheesy,Copy !req
935. but it is one of my favorite songs
from one of my favorite films,Copy !req
936. so are you ready?Copy !req
937. It's good, right?Copy !req
938. That's what I love about music.Copy !req
939. - What?
- One of the most banal scenesCopy !req
940. is suddenly invested
with so much meaning, you know?Copy !req
941. All these banalities,Copy !req
942. they're suddenly turned
into these...Copy !req
943. these beautiful, effervescent pearls.Copy !req
944. From music.Copy !req
945. I've got to say, as I've gotten older,
these pearls are just...Copy !req
946. becoming increasingly
more and more rare to me.Copy !req
947. More string than pearls?Copy !req
948. Yeah. You've got to travel
over a lot more stringCopy !req
949. to get to the pearls.Copy !req
950. This moment is a pearl, Gretta.Copy !req
951. It sort of is, isn't it?Copy !req
952. All this has been a pearl.Copy !req
953. Hey, guys!Copy !req
954. - Hi.
- Hello, Steve.Copy !req
955. Come on and check it out.
Your boyfriend just won a Music Gong.Copy !req
956. - No way.
- You won't believe it.Copy !req
957. Done something to his face.Copy !req
958. Wow, thank you so much.Copy !req
959. I'm a bit taken aback by this.
This is incredible.Copy !req
960. Uh, it just proves that a guy
from nowhere can actually make itCopy !req
961. if he follows his dreams.Copy !req
962. I've been practicing this speech
into a shampoo bottleCopy !req
963. in the shower my entire life.
Yeah...Copy !req
964. - Uh, gosh, thank you.
- Nice beard, you fucking loser.Copy !req
965. What dreams? We never
had those dreams.Copy !req
966. - I don't remember those dreams.
- How do you know?Copy !req
967. Because I know him.Copy !req
968. Maybe they were private dreams.Copy !req
969. Maybe he just never told you about them.Copy !req
970. Who was I living with
for the last five years?Copy !req
971. Baby, you've been living
with a rock star.Copy !req
972. Only he didn't know it.Copy !req
973. It didn't matter,
but now that he does,Copy !req
974. I've got to tell you,
these people get married to it.Copy !req
975. They fall in love with the music,
they fall in love with the lights,Copy !req
976. they fall in love with the road,
the chicks, all that shit.Copy !req
977. And no matter how hard he tries,Copy !req
978. he's never gonna be able
to make a woman happy.Copy !req
979. All right.
See you in the morning.Copy !req
980. He just looks a dick!Copy !req
981. - Why would he do that?
- I don't know.Copy !req
982. Why would anyone?
I'll tell you why he'd do it.Copy !req
983. He wants to look like the guy who
doesn't realize... "I've grown a beard.Copy !req
984. I was so busy lost inside
myself writing music,Copy !req
985. I didn't realize I'd grown
a beard the size of my neck."Copy !req
986. I'm gonna sound
quite cheesy over it.Copy !req
987. I loved him like a fool.Copy !req
988. I don't think that's cheesy. I think
that sounds like a phenomenal song.Copy !req
989. - Does it?
- Yeah, it sounds like a song.Copy !req
990. I think it sounds like
a song you should write right now.Copy !req
991. - Right now?
- Write it down.Copy !req
992. - Write it down, write it down.
- OK, OK.Copy !req
993. You're in the zone.Copy !req
994. - Say, "I'm in the zone."
- I'm in the zone.Copy !req
995. Don't say it like
a posh English girl,Copy !req
996. - say it like someone in New York.
- Fuck off!Copy !req
997. Say, "I'm in the fucking zone."Copy !req
998. - I'm in the fucking zone.
- I'm in the fucking zone.Copy !req
999. I'm gonna write a song,
I don't give a shit.Copy !req
1000. I'm gonna write a song.Copy !req
1001. - Actually shut up.
- All right, I'm shushing...Copy !req
1002. OK, dialing.Copy !req
1003. - All right, here we go.
- Speaker.Copy !req
1004. Hey, this is Dave Kohl.Copy !req
1005. Uh, I am probably busy doing something
awesome, so leave me a messageCopy !req
1006. and I probably won't be able
to get back to you at all, ever.Copy !req
1007. One more?Copy !req
1008. Hey-Copy !req
1009. Everybody, this is, uh...
this is Miriam.Copy !req
1010. This is Gretta.Copy !req
1011. - This is my daughter, Violet.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
1012. Come on, babe.Copy !req
1013. Miriam, thank you.
Thank you.Copy !req
1014. It's not too high, is it?Copy !req
1015. That's not too high for a bass.
Exactly.Copy !req
1016. No one should play bass
unless it's this high.Copy !req
1017. You want me to set your amp
or are you good? OK.Copy !req
1018. No, no, no, no, no! Hold up,
hold up, hold up, hold up...Copy !req
1019. Rachel, at the top, or...
yeah, at the top,Copy !req
1020. come in a little bit more gradually.Copy !req
1021. - Fat Jimmy, come on, man.
- What's up?Copy !req
1022. - All right, man, all right.
- Police ain't gonna get you up here.Copy !req
1023. Let's hear that bass, my brother.Copy !req
1024. - I got you, baby, I got you.
- Come on, man.Copy !req
1025. I'm sorry, wait a minute.
Um, do you play bass?Copy !req
1026. You were out of tune.
You were flat.Copy !req
1027. 'Cause I read on the Internet
that you used to play bass.Copy !req
1028. So, um, I think seeing
as we've got VioletCopy !req
1029. doing some guitar on this,
this should be a family affair.Copy !req
1030. I'm a producer
'cause I don't play bass, baby.Copy !req
1031. Yes, you are...
You got to do it.Copy !req
1032. You got to do it...Copy !req
1033. All right, all right.Copy !req
1034. Come in whenever you want, you know?
You can wait.Copy !req
1035. Just, you know, keep it simple.Copy !req
1036. - OK.
- You're gonna be great.Copy !req
1037. - I don't even know if I'm gonna play.
- Whatever.Copy !req
1038. If you feel like it, do it, OK?Copy !req
1039. You know, it's totally cool.Copy !req
1040. You know, but don't feel like
you have to overdo itCopy !req
1041. or prove anything.
These guys are serious musicians.Copy !req
1042. Guys, can we...
Sorry. Can we take five?Copy !req
1043. All right, let's take five.
Five, not ten.Copy !req
1044. Hey.
I'm back in New York for a gig.Copy !req
1045. I got your singing message.
I have to see you.Copy !req
1046. Uh, call me.
Please call me.Copy !req
1047. - Turn down that motherfucking music!
- Give us three more minutes!Copy !req
1048. - I'm calling the cops!
- You're not calling the cops!Copy !req
1049. Oh my God!
Oh, Violet!Copy !req
1050. And now the police!
Come on, let's go.Copy !req
1051. - Hello.
- Congratulations.Copy !req
1052. Thank you. We should have
a toast right now.Copy !req
1053. - To your album?
- To our album.Copy !req
1054. - Really?
- All right. Don't get too excited.Copy !req
1055. - I'm just trying it out.
- OK.Copy !req
1056. Should we toast with that?Copy !req
1057. Goddamn, how do people drink that?Copy !req
1058. We're gonna play a game, OK?Copy !req
1059. We're gonna play a song
that is impossible to not dance to.Copy !req
1060. I defy you not to dance to this song.Copy !req
1061. This is good.
This is good!Copy !req
1062. You know you want to.
You know you want to!Copy !req
1063. You know you want to.
So where is it?Copy !req
1064. You know you want to.
You do, you do.Copy !req
1065. There it is!
There it is!Copy !req
1066. I'll see you.Copy !req
1067. I'm gonna give them a ride home.Copy !req
1068. - Cool.
- Good night.Copy !req
1069. Good night.Copy !req
1070. - Bye.
- Thank you for everything.Copy !req
1071. No, thank you for everything.Copy !req
1072. - See you.
- Bye!Copy !req
1073. - Good night, Gretta.
- Good night, Gretta.Copy !req
1074. It's gonna be awesome.Copy !req
1075. So, how was touring?Copy !req
1076. Touring was amazing,
grueling, punishing,Copy !req
1077. - inspiring.
- Did you find yourself?Copy !req
1078. I don't know.Copy !req
1079. You certainly found a beard, anyway.
Look at that thing.Copy !req
1080. Yeah.
It's... it's intense.Copy !req
1081. - It's big.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1082. Did Mim go with you?
On tour?Copy !req
1083. You want to go straight into this, then?Copy !req
1084. - Yeah?
- Are you...Copy !req
1085. are you the happiest couple ever?
Or did you... break up after a monthCopy !req
1086. and she came back
to New York on a bus?Copy !req
1087. It was a train... actually.Copy !req
1088. I'm sorry.
I'm being a bitch.Copy !req
1089. No. You're entitled.Copy !req
1090. So...
what have you been up to?Copy !req
1091. God...Copy !req
1092. It's... amazing, Gretta.Copy !req
1093. - Really?
- Totally.Copy !req
1094. Ambient sound, and... the city.Copy !req
1095. That's it?
No overdubs? Nothing?Copy !req
1096. No, no, no, it's just
the way you hear it.Copy !req
1097. - God, it's so great.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1098. - They're really offering you a deal?
- No... well, I don't know.Copy !req
1099. He has to play it to his
partner first. So we'll see.Copy !req
1100. I cannot believe
what he's done with your songs.Copy !req
1101. I know. He's amazing.Copy !req
1102. - You should get him to do your record.
- No, it's too late.Copy !req
1103. We just finished mastering
the record in LA.Copy !req
1104. I recorded in various
studios on the road.Copy !req
1105. - Wow. So, what's it called?
- "On the Road."Copy !req
1106. Oh.Copy !req
1107. Kind of like Kerouac.Copy !req
1108. Yeah. Yeah, it is.Copy !req
1109. That's actually a
terrible album name.Copy !req
1110. No, I...Copy !req
1111. - I mean, it worked for him.
- No. It's bad.Copy !req
1112. - It's...
- I know that you know it's bad, too.Copy !req
1113. No, I'm...Copy !req
1114. - you know...
- Anyway, would you like to go hear it?Copy !req
1115. - I would love to hear it.
- OK.Copy !req
1116. All right...
what do you think?Copy !req
1117. I think I need to listen to it again.Copy !req
1118. No. No, I want...
I want your immediate reaction.Copy !req
1119. - My immediate reaction?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1120. OK, um...Copy !req
1121. I... I think that you've lost
the songs in the production.Copy !req
1122. You know?
I mean, OK, take "Lost Stars."Copy !req
1123. I wrote it as a... as a ballad,
and... I don't know,Copy !req
1124. - it sounds like a piece of stadium pop.
- Ooh.Copy !req
1125. Yeah, but I wanted to
turn it into a hit.Copy !req
1126. - Why?
- "Why?" What kind of question is that?Copy !req
1127. You're the writer.
You get sole writing credit on it.Copy !req
1128. - This is huge for you.
- Yeah, but, I mean,Copy !req
1129. you weren't supposed to lose the song
in it, you know? I mean, it's...Copy !req
1130. it's delicate.
I really... I just...Copy !req
1131. I think you should get it remixed.Copy !req
1132. Ah, but everyone loves it
when we do it. It's amazing.Copy !req
1133. You have to come see it live.Copy !req
1134. The reaction to it,
the energy in the room just changes.Copy !req
1135. Why are you so worried
about what other people think?Copy !req
1136. It's... it's our song.Copy !req
1137. It is, but, you know,
isn't that what music is about?Copy !req
1138. - It's about sharing it with people.
- No, not that song, Dave.Copy !req
1139. OK, well, good, then
who do we get to remix this?Copy !req
1140. Mim. Maybe you should
get Mim to remix it.Copy !req
1141. Really? OK, so this is obviously
not anything about the album.Copy !req
1142. You think?Copy !req
1143. Don't. Don't become this, like,Copy !req
1144. music biz couple, you know?Copy !req
1145. Arguing about our, um...
our albums.Copy !req
1146. The funny thing about this is that I'd
throw that fucking record into the oceanCopy !req
1147. if we could just continue
this conversation right now.Copy !req
1148. This is what I want to
talk about. OK?Copy !req
1149. And if I could somehow
say something or do anythingCopy !req
1150. that would undo
what I did to us, then...Copy !req
1151. just tell me what it is.
Help me.Copy !req
1152. Would you?Copy !req
1153. Would you throw it in the ocean?Copy !req
1154. Would you...
would you want me to?Copy !req
1155. No.Copy !req
1156. No, I just,
you know, I think...Copy !req
1157. I think everything's changed.Copy !req
1158. And I'm... I'm just
finding it a bit hard to adjust.Copy !req
1159. I know. It makes sense.Copy !req
1160. But we're just gonna have
to find a way to...Copy !req
1161. get through this,
get through this together.Copy !req
1162. When did you, like,
when did you realize that?Copy !req
1163. When you sang to me on my voice-mail.Copy !req
1164. I realized that nobody on Earth
in their right mindCopy !req
1165. would ever do anything remotely
like that, and... that killed me.Copy !req
1166. That crushed me.
You...Copy !req
1167. completely won me over.Copy !req
1168. I wasn't trying to win you over,
I was trying to tell you to fuck off.Copy !req
1169. And I had. And...Copy !req
1170. and now, you know, you've...
you've come back and...Copy !req
1171. and you've opened the whole thing up
again, and I think, actually, I think...Copy !req
1172. I think I'm gonna have to go.
Um, take that.Copy !req
1173. I'm gonna go,
'cause it's all a bit much.Copy !req
1174. I hear you. Just...Copy !req
1175. take your time.
I'm not going anywhere.Copy !req
1176. - You're gonna stay on the bench?
- Yes, I'm gonna live on this bench.Copy !req
1177. Uh-huh.Copy !req
1178. Come to the Gramercy.Copy !req
1179. On Saturday. Please.Copy !req
1180. Just hear the song.
I want you to see...Copy !req
1181. how everyone's just falling
in love with what you created.Copy !req
1182. Please don't play it like that.Copy !req
1183. OK.Copy !req
1184. Well, look at you. A vision of
pure class. There's my daughter.Copy !req
1185. - No way.
- There it is.Copy !req
1186. - Is this it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1187. - There you are.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1188. You look great.
Look how cool you are.Copy !req
1189. Can I keep this?
Show all my friends?Copy !req
1190. Hell, yeah.
That's what it's for, babe.Copy !req
1191. - Look at you. Hilarious.
- Why is that hilarious?Copy !req
1192. I just had no idea
you were that talented.Copy !req
1193. I mean, I just didn't know.Copy !req
1194. You're, like...
you're a real guitar player.Copy !req
1195. You got... you got some talent.
Seriously.Copy !req
1196. What, do you want me to
start a band now, and...?Copy !req
1197. Yeah. Let's start a band.Copy !req
1198. - "Let's start a band"?
- Yeah. Why not?Copy !req
1199. I'll record you.
I'll produce you.Copy !req
1200. I like this idea.Copy !req
1201. - Do you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1202. You all... motivated now?Copy !req
1203. It's a family business.
It's like the Jackson Five.Copy !req
1204. - There you go.
- The Mulligan Three.Copy !req
1205. - You coming in?
- No. I'm gonna go...Copy !req
1206. I'm gonna go play that for Saul,
see if we can get a deal.Copy !req
1207. Good luck.
Let me know how it goes.Copy !req
1208. I love you.Copy !req
1209. I know you do.Copy !req
1210. Hey-Copy !req
1211. Come on.
Yeah. So pretty.Copy !req
1212. Bye.Copy !req
1213. Thanks for coming in, guys.Copy !req
1214. This is fantastic.
You got a great record.Copy !req
1215. And... I missed it on the first listen,
but I don't want to miss it again.Copy !req
1216. We're very glad that
you like it. So...Copy !req
1217. Well, I reached out to some
of my studio connects in LA,Copy !req
1218. and I was thinking
we can get the first trackCopy !req
1219. placed in a... in a film,
the right film.Copy !req
1220. There's also pilot season right now.Copy !req
1221. Yeah, we're not interested
in any of that stuff.Copy !req
1222. OK, so then... what are you
interested in? What are we doing here?Copy !req
1223. Well, I think Dan needs his job back.Copy !req
1224. Yeah, sure. What?
Take my office. I don't care.Copy !req
1225. OK, all right, so how, I mean...Copy !req
1226. I guess I want to know...
how does this work?Copy !req
1227. We put the album out,
we sell it for...?Copy !req
1228. Let's say an album
costs ten dollars a unit.Copy !req
1229. The artist gets a dollar.Copy !req
1230. Same in publishing...
it's a buck for a book.Copy !req
1231. I think I'm just thinking
for this specifically...Copy !req
1232. to get my head around it...Copy !req
1233. Um, I mean, the album,
it doesn't have any overhead,Copy !req
1234. - because... we did it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1235. And then distribution,
I mean, it's not gonna go in stores,Copy !req
1236. it's gonna go online, and publicity
would be, what, word of mouth?Copy !req
1237. So I think what I'm wondering is...Copy !req
1238. why do you get nine out
of ten of my dollars?Copy !req
1239. Gretta, you're
a very smart young woman,Copy !req
1240. and, uh, you're a determined artist,Copy !req
1241. and you have a... you have
a wonderful project here.Copy !req
1242. And with the right team behind you
to push you and guide youCopy !req
1243. in the right direction and maybe hire
a producer to remix a couple tracks,Copy !req
1244. you could have a hit record
and a very long career,Copy !req
1245. but, you know, ultimately, that's...
that's up to you.Copy !req
1246. Ah, you had them.
You wound him up.Copy !req
1247. I know. It's amazing when
you're not actually that interested,Copy !req
1248. you always win the hand.Copy !req
1249. Yeah, that's never really
worked out that well for me.Copy !req
1250. - I mean, I found it worked very well.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1251. You're gonna get a deal.Copy !req
1252. That asshole is gonna
give you a deal, babe.Copy !req
1253. You might have to
compromise a little bit, but...Copy !req
1254. - Never.
- Of course.Copy !req
1255. Hey, we should do a bunch of these.Copy !req
1256. - What do you mean?
- Could do, like, the, uh...Copy !req
1257. "The European Series."Copy !req
1258. - I like that.
- "Paris Tapes."Prague Sessions."Copy !req
1259. "The Berlin... Recordings."Copy !req
1260. - Yes.
- Go all over Europe by rail.Copy !req
1261. We could take the whole gang.
You know?Copy !req
1262. Rachel, Malcolm, Steve.Copy !req
1263. - So...
- So...Copy !req
1264. Look, I guess
I'll see you in a while.Copy !req
1265. Thank you.Copy !req
1266. Thank you so much.Copy !req
1267. Oh, man.Copy !req
1268. Thank you.Copy !req
1269. - Guitar change. All right.
- All right!Copy !req
1270. Uh, so this next song
was actually given to meCopy !req
1271. by an amazing songwriter
and an even more amazing woman.Copy !req
1272. Uh, yeah. So it's a very special song...
we're gonna do her arrangement of it.Copy !req
1273. So... If she's here,
I'm not sure that she is...Copy !req
1274. uh, I'd love her to come up
and join us on this one.Copy !req
1275. There's a guitar right there, so...
you know, if you're here, please...Copy !req
1276. please join us. It's a really
special song to me, so...Copy !req
1277. See your vision of this song through.Copy !req
1278. - Hey.
- Hey.Copy !req
1279. - Where are you going?
- Uh... home.Copy !req
1280. - What's on your mind?
- OK, um...Copy !req
1281. I don't want your label
to release my album.Copy !req
1282. Fine.Copy !req
1283. - Fine? Really?
- Well...Copy !req
1284. No, because I thought
that you'd be really upset.Copy !req
1285. No. It's your album.Copy !req
1286. So, what do you want
to do with it, then?Copy !req
1287. - There it is.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1288. That's the whole album for a dollar.Copy !req
1289. A buck for a book.
The whole thing.Copy !req
1290. Now, once this goes out, that's it.Copy !req
1291. - They're gone.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1292. - Are you sure you want to do this?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1293. - How about two bucks?
- You're such a capitalist.Copy !req
1294. No, a buck is fair, and then, you know,
we'll split it evenly between everyoneCopy !req
1295. and Malcolm and Rachel...
everyone. Come on.Copy !req
1296. Once I press this, that's it.
I'm going to war with my whole business.Copy !req
1297. Mm...Copy !req
1298. Oh...!Copy !req
1299. That's so exciting.Copy !req
1300. - OK...
- What are you doing?Copy !req
1301. Calling reinforcements.Copy !req
1302. - Whoa.
- What?Copy !req
1303. Check it out. I got Troublegum
to tweet out the album.Copy !req
1304. How many followers
does he have?Copy !req
1305. Apparently the entire world.Copy !req
1306. Just about every living
human being follows him.Copy !req
1307. Mr. Mulligan.Copy !req
1308. - Good morning.
- Good morning.Copy !req
1309. News for you on the lnterwebs.Copy !req
1310. - Shit.

1311. - No. How many did she sell?
- No?Copy !req
1312. 10,000. Today.Copy !req
1313. - Troublegum tweeted about it.
- Man, if Troublegum helped her out,Copy !req
1314. it's because he liked her, all right?Copy !req
1315. They're artists.
They're great...Copy !req
1316. - You didn't know nothing about this?
- Nothing. It's kind of funny, though.Copy !req
1317. - Is it really?
- It's pretty funny, man.Copy !req
1318. Boo-boo, you know how to pick 'em, boy.Copy !req
1319. It's kind of good.
It's good.Copy !req
1320. - It is. It's kind of epic.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1321. Clean out your locker.Copy !req
1322. See you later.Copy !req
