17. No? No? Okay.Copy !req
18. What's the thing that
he won't do in that song?Copy !req
19. What's left for him to not do?Copy !req
20. I used to imagine Jeff
Goldblum was my dad.Copy !req
21. Saw him in The Fly, I was like,Copy !req
22. "That must be what my dad looks like."Copy !req
23. Also explains a lot, because
the dude's fucking weird.Copy !req
24. - But he looks like me, man.
- It's true, yeah.Copy !req
25. - Yeah!
- You look like Jeff Goldblum.Copy !req
26. Why is it okay to, like,
use a toothpick in publicCopy !req
27. but not floss?Copy !req
28. - Have you ever tried that?
- To floss in public? No.Copy !req
29. You're at dinner, pull out some...Copy !req
30. I used to imagine my
funeral a lot when I was a kid,Copy !req
31. - at school, in Math.
- Fun!Copy !req
32. I used to daydream about
it, then make myself cry!Copy !req
33. Uh, yeah, I think I'd get cremated.Copy !req
34. - What about you?
- Cremated,Copy !req
35. or, like, just fed to
the birds, you know?Copy !req
36. Well, you know, now you can
get ashes put into tattoo ink.Copy !req
37. - My face on your back.
- This?Copy !req
38. Where the clown is.Copy !req
39. - What?
- Yeah.Copy !req
40. We don't need to put them all out.Copy !req
41. I know, but we need
to fill them up a little bit.Copy !req
42. Okay.Copy !req
43. You wanna put out some different ones?Copy !req
44. Hmm?Copy !req
45. That's the face of a sale.Copy !req
46. Okay, this one costs about
50 bucks extra because...Copy !req
47. - It's an original artwork.
- I'm gonna spit on it.Copy !req
48. - Fifty dollars.
- Okay, 100 bucks.Copy !req
49. Ten grand.Copy !req
50. Did you guys sound check?Copy !req

57. Half my shit is broken down...Copy !req
58. now everything's acting all funny.Copy !req
59. Have we played together?Copy !req
60. - Huh?
- Have we ever played together?Copy !req
61. - I think we have, yeah.
- Yes, you have.Copy !req
62. Yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
63. - At...?
- Yeah, in New York.Copy !req
64. Ahh...Copy !req
65. Ah.Copy !req
66. Ah.Copy !req
67. Ah.Copy !req
68. It's probably a two out of
ten, in terms of his hearing.Copy !req
69. He can't... He's having trouble
even communicating with me.Copy !req
70. Is...?Copy !req
71. I gotta see a doctor?Copy !req
72. He... He can see you now.Copy !req
73. - What?
- He can see you right now.Copy !req
74. - Now? Where's...?
- Yes. I... I...Copy !req
75. Hey, Lulu. I'm sorry.
I had to run out, baby.Copy !req
76. I gotta deal with some shit, okay?Copy !req
77. Don't worry about anything, okay?Copy !req
78. Mr. Stone?Copy !req
79. Oh. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
80. Ah.Copy !req
81. Okay, how is that volume?Copy !req
82. Is the volume loud enough?Copy !req
83. Good.Copy !req
84. - Can you hear me?
- What?Copy !req
85. Can you hear me okay? Volume-wise?Copy !req
86. - I can hear you.
- Okay.Copy !req
87. I'm gonna say these words.Copy !req
88. I want you to repeat them back to me.Copy !req
89. I'm gonna start with just your right ear.Copy !req
90. Okay?Copy !req
91. Base.Copy !req
92. Base.Copy !req
93. Mess.Copy !req
94. Mace.Copy !req
95. Cause.Copy !req
96. Cars.Copy !req
97. Mop.Copy !req
98. Noisy.Copy !req
99. - Search.
- Throat.Copy !req
100. - Ditch.
- Fish.Copy !req
101. - Talk.
- T...Copy !req
102. Ring.Copy !req
103. Broom.Copy !req
104. Germ.Copy !req
105. Life.Copy !req
106. Team.Copy !req
107. Lid.Copy !req
108. Lid.Copy !req
109. This is your chart, Ruben.Copy !req
110. Now, as far as the
volume that you can hear...Copy !req
111. you, on your right ear, were 28 percent,Copy !req
112. and on your left ear,
you were 24 percent.Copy !req
113. - It's what?
- In the left ear,Copy !req
114. - you came in at 24 percent.
- Okay.Copy !req
115. No matter how loud I made the test,Copy !req
116. I could have put it at 11...Copy !req
117. you were still going to missCopy !req
118. 70 to 80 percent of
the words that I said.Copy !req
119. - Okay.
- That is not good.Copy !req
120. Yeah, I see that, so, what...?Copy !req
121. What can we do about
it? How do I get it back?Copy !req
122. Well, um, you have to
understand something here.Copy !req
123. Whether or not this is related
to your exposure to noiseCopy !req
124. or it's an autoimmune issue...Copy !req
125. doesn't really matter.Copy !req
126. I understand I got a problem.Copy !req
127. I'm asking you what I can do about it.Copy !req
128. Well, what you can do about it firstCopy !req
129. is to eliminate all
exposure to loud noises.Copy !req
130. And then, we can run some tests,Copy !req
131. and we can determine exactly
what is going on with your ears.Copy !req
132. And if we do, then we can
have our other conversations.Copy !req
133. You could have what?Copy !req
134. Well, there are implants
that bypass the cochlea.Copy !req
135. You said implants?Copy !req
136. - Yes.
- Those work?Copy !req
137. For people with severe hearing lossCopy !req
138. or complete deafness, yes, they help.Copy !req
139. Well, then let's do that.Copy !req
140. Well, it's not that simple.Copy !req
141. Uh, it's a very involved process,Copy !req
142. and it's quite costly.Copy !req
143. - How much is it?
- Well, they can runCopy !req
144. between 40 and 80,000 dollars, depending,Copy !req
145. and they are not covered by insurance.Copy !req
146. Okay.Copy !req
147. And, um...Copy !req
148. like, when can you do it?Copy !req
149. You got them in stock now?Copy !req
150. Mr. Stone, your hearing...Copy !req
151. is deteriorating rapidly.Copy !req
152. Am I right?Copy !req
153. And over the next few days...Copy !req
154. or even hours, it's going to continue.Copy !req
155. And the hearing that you have lostCopy !req
156. is not coming back.Copy !req
157. You have to understand,Copy !req
158. your first responsibility...Copy !req
159. is to preserve the hearing you have.Copy !req
160. Ruben, what the fuck?Copy !req
161. Ruben!Copy !req
162. I can't hear anything.Copy !req
163. What?Copy !req
164. I can't hear anything.Copy !req
165. Yes, it will come back.Copy !req
166. I have to...Copy !req
167. There's, like, a surgery.Copy !req
168. - What?
- It's simple. It's all it is.Copy !req
169. There's an implant.
They put it in your shit.Copy !req
170. It's like a...Copy !req
171. Okay? It'll come back. It's fine, Lou.Copy !req
172. It's like 40 grand, 80
grand, whatever, but it's...Copy !req
173. It will come back.Copy !req
174. - Till then, we just keep going.
- No.Copy !req
175. - Lou. Listen to me.
- No.Copy !req
176. Let's play tomorrow, see
what it's like. Let's try it.Copy !req
177. I'm gonna be like a click
track. You can play to me.Copy !req
178. - No.
- Huh? You can adj...Copy !req
179. It's different, but
it is what it is, Lou.Copy !req
180. Lou, we have a... Lou,
we have a tour booked.Copy !req
181. - It's not safe.
- We have a tour booked.Copy !req
182. - We have a tour booked, Lou.
- No.Copy !req
183. It doesn't matter. It's not safe!Copy !req
184. - We have a tour booked!
- It's not safe!Copy !req
185. - Ruben!
- I fucking knew it.Copy !req
186. I'm going back.Copy !req
187. Yo!Copy !req
188. Buddy, you got a smoke, please?Copy !req
189. This is ridiculous.Copy !req
190. He's sleeping.Copy !req
191. Hi. Hi, Hector?Copy !req
192. Hi, this is Lou. Ruben's
having a bit of trouble right now.Copy !req
193. - Hey, Hector, what's up?
- He's had some hearing problems.Copy !req
194. Yeah, I mean, I can put him on,Copy !req
195. but he won't be able to hear you.Copy !req
196. Okay.Copy !req
197. Talk to him. Talk to him.Copy !req
198. Hey, Hector, what's going on, man?Copy !req
199. It's Ruben. I'd say it's
good to hear your voice,Copy !req
200. but I can't hear a word you're saying,Copy !req
201. so this is completely pointless.Copy !req
202. Lou wanted me to call you
because I had a cigarette.Copy !req
203. Uh, you know, not great, not ideal,Copy !req
204. but considering the circumstances,Copy !req
205. which are pretty fucked up...Copy !req
206. you know, understandable.
I'd say understandable.Copy !req
207. For everyone apart from Lou, it seems.Copy !req
208. Um, I got this, bro.Copy !req
209. You'd probably be asking
me if I'm steady right now,Copy !req
210. if I'm feeling level.Copy !req
211. Not completely, but I'm cool.Copy !req
212. You'd tell me serenity
is something you getCopy !req
213. when you, uh, stop
wishing for a different past.Copy !req
214. Bro, I love you, man.Copy !req
215. Oh, my manager wants the phone back,Copy !req
216. so I gotta go. Okay, love you, bro.Copy !req
217. Hey. Yeah, he... He can't hear a word.Copy !req
218. Well, if you get him to a group,
then how's he gonna hear?Copy !req
219. Okay.Copy !req
220. Okay, thanks, Hector. Thank you.Copy !req
221. When? When...?Copy !req
222. Okay, yeah, I'll make sure it's on loud.Copy !req
223. Okay, thank you so much. Thank you.Copy !req
224. Okay, bye.Copy !req
225. He's gonna call back.Copy !req
226. What did he say? Write
it down. What did...?Copy !req
227. He'll call back.Copy !req
228. He's gonna call back.
That's all? Fucking Hector.Copy !req
229. What are we gonna do now?Copy !req
230. What do you wanna do, Lou?Copy !req
231. Huh?Copy !req
232. Fuck this.Copy !req
233. It's Hector.Copy !req
234. Hey.Copy !req
235. Yeah, he's here.Copy !req
236. Not so good.Copy !req
237. Oh, o... Okay.Copy !req
238. Uh, yeah, what is it, and...?Copy !req
239. - What? What's the plan?
- Uh...Copy !req
240. Well, we're in Missouri, so
that's gonna take a few days.Copy !req
241. I don't really know.Copy !req
242. No, no, no, we'll leave right away.Copy !req
243. Okay, yeah.Copy !req
244. Okay, thank you so much.
I really, really appreciate it.Copy !req
245. Thank you.Copy !req
246. No, yeah, I'll tell him.Copy !req
247. Okay, bye.Copy !req
248. What?Copy !req
249. He's found a place.Copy !req
250. Is that him?Copy !req
251. Ruben.Copy !req
252. I'm sorry. I don't
know that... I'm Ruben.Copy !req
253. This is Lou.Copy !req
254. Hi, I'm... I'm Lou.Copy !req
255. I'm sorry, I read lips.Copy !req
256. - My name is Lou.
- Lou.Copy !req
257. - I'm Joe.
- Hi, Joe.Copy !req
258. Mind if I borrow him for a minute?Copy !req
259. No.Copy !req
260. You mind watching my beast here for meCopy !req
261. - while we have a talk?
- Oh, okay.Copy !req
262. Lou, this is Luis.Copy !req
263. He's my hearing dog. He
let me know you were here.Copy !req
264. I named him after Luis Aparicio
from the White Sox in '59.Copy !req
265. You wanna be friends, give him these.Copy !req
266. - Oh, sure. Yeah.
- Okay?Copy !req
267. Yo, what about...? Lou, you coming?Copy !req
268. No, no, no, you.Copy !req
269. - You sure?
- Yeah.Copy !req
270. - I won't be long, okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
271. You be a good boy.Copy !req
272. Okay, uh...Copy !req
273. Test.Copy !req
274. Oh.Copy !req
275. Okay. So, it works.Copy !req
276. Is this okay for you?Copy !req
277. Yeah, can you hear me?Copy !req
278. No, I'm gonna read your lips.Copy !req
279. I might miss some things,
but I'm gonna try, okay?Copy !req
280. - Okay.
- Try to speak clearly.Copy !req
281. Yeah.Copy !req
282. How are you, Ruben?Copy !req
283. I'm okay.Copy !req
284. You're an addict?Copy !req
285. Yep.Copy !req
286. What sort of drugs?Copy !req
287. What did I take?Copy !req
288. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
289. Everything.Copy !req
290. Um...Copy !req
291. mainly heroin.Copy !req
292. Heroin.Copy !req
293. Have you thought about using
since you lost your hearing?Copy !req
294. Today is not a good day.Copy !req
295. I'm not thinking clear today.Copy !req
296. Let's talk about me.Copy !req
297. I'm an alcoholic.Copy !req
298. I lost my hearing in the Vietnam WarCopy !req
299. when a bomb exploded near me.Copy !req
300. I still remember the
music I was listening toCopy !req
301. when that bomb went off.Copy !req
302. After that...Copy !req
303. I lost everything else.Copy !req
304. My wife. My kid.Copy !req
305. Not because of being
deaf, mind you, Ruben.Copy !req
306. It was the beer.Copy !req
307. How long you been clean?Copy !req
308. - Four years.
- Four?Copy !req
309. Mmm.Copy !req
310. And you need some help right now?Copy !req
311. You know, I should check on Lou.Copy !req
312. How long you two been together?Copy !req
313. Four years.Copy !req
314. You play music, right?Copy !req
315. - No.
- No?Copy !req
316. No, not anymore.Copy !req
317. Not until I get the implant.Copy !req
318. Implant.Copy !req
319. Yeah, sorry, you know about
these implants they got now?Copy !req
320. It's like a... They have implants.Copy !req
321. I know, yes.Copy !req
322. Expensive.Copy !req
323. Yeah, thank you. Yes, they are.Copy !req
324. So...Copy !req
325. you should understand that, uh,Copy !req
326. this is a deaf community.Copy !req
327. Not just my program, but we're
part of a larger deaf community.Copy !req
328. And my program, and the people in it,Copy !req
329. they benefit tremendously
from that deaf community.Copy !req
330. We work with them, and they work with us.Copy !req
331. But it's very important,
if you wanna be here,Copy !req
332. to understand that we're
looking for a solution to...Copy !req
333. To this.Copy !req
334. Not this.Copy !req
335. Why don't you go invite Lou in here?Copy !req
336. Sure.Copy !req
337. Lou!Copy !req
338. This guy wants to talk to you.Copy !req
339. Okay.Copy !req
340. Well, I think it's importantCopy !req
341. that you stay here with
us right now, Ruben.Copy !req
342. Learn some sign language...Copy !req
343. find some solid ground.Copy !req
344. What do you think?Copy !req
345. Man, that sounds great, but
we don't have a lot of money now.Copy !req
346. Well, sometimes our church
sponsors deaf people in need,Copy !req
347. and right now, you fit the bill, Ruben.Copy !req
348. We're really notCopy !req
349. - churchgoing people.
- Sorry, I read...Copy !req
350. Sorry, Ruben, I read lips.
I can't... What'd you say?Copy !req
351. We're not religious, either of us.Copy !req
352. - Oh.
- Very much not into religion.Copy !req
353. No offense, you know.Copy !req
354. Religion plays no part in this, Ruben.Copy !req
355. The church helps people
in need, not religious people.Copy !req
356. The important thing is
that you wanna stay here.Copy !req
357. Mmm.Copy !req
358. - Yeah.
- Lou...Copy !req
359. do you think Ruben needs help right now?Copy !req
360. You understand if, uh,
Ruben were to stay here,Copy !req
361. he'd have to do it on his own.Copy !req
362. Members live in a house
separate from the outside world.Copy !req
363. No contact to the
outside world. No phones.Copy !req
364. I've found that in all cases,
that's the way it works best.Copy !req
365. Yo, hold up a minute,
okay? Let me catch up. Okay?Copy !req
366. Can you help Ruben commit to that, Lou?Copy !req
367. Wanna try this for a couple days?Copy !req
368. We have our own home.
We can stay in the RV.Copy !req
369. I'm sorry to say, that's
not the way it works here.Copy !req
370. Well, that's a problem, then.Copy !req
371. Do you have anywhere you
can be during this time, Lou?Copy !req
372. Yo, that's that, man. We're done.Copy !req
373. We're done. Thanks
a lot for your time, bro.Copy !req
374. Appreciate it, okay?
We're out, baby. Let's go.Copy !req
375. Hey.Copy !req
376. Lou, ahem, I'm thinking we shouldCopy !req
377. still go hit our fucking
show in Dayton, okay?Copy !req
378. I can fucking watch you for cues.Copy !req
379. It was rocky last time, but
we weren't on the same page.Copy !req
380. Now you know what's
up. I can fucking watch you.Copy !req
381. And I know this shit inside out.Copy !req
382. Okay? Yo, I can fucking make it workCopy !req
383. until we have enough for surgery.Copy !req
384. Okay? We're gonna get there.Copy !req
385. Yo, seriously, we're good to go.Copy !req
386. Lou.Copy !req
387. Hmm?Copy !req
388. Hey, I'll deal with this shit.Copy !req
389. I'll deal with it. You know I will.Copy !req
390. It's just money. You
know that, right? Huh?Copy !req
391. Come here.Copy !req
392. Ruben!Copy !req
393. Ruben!Copy !req
394. Ruben! Stop it!Copy !req
395. Ruben!Copy !req
396. Look at me, I'm not going
back to that fucking place, okay?Copy !req
397. I know, I know. I'm...Copy !req
398. Well, then fucking support me!Copy !req
399. How's about that? Fucking
support me, Lou! Huh?Copy !req
400. - You don't wanna be here?
- Of course I do.Copy !req
401. I knew it. I fucking knew
it. I knew this was coming.Copy !req
402. I fucking knew it. This is
about the fucking album, huh?Copy !req
403. What happened? You get a better offer?Copy !req
404. - What are you talking about?
- Huh?Copy !req
405. I can't hear you. I can't
fucking hear you, understand?Copy !req
406. I can't... I'm fucking
deaf! I'm fucking deaf!Copy !req
407. No fucking hearing! Okay? Okay?Copy !req
408. No, what I need is a
fucking gun in my mouth.Copy !req
409. What I need is a fucking gun
in my fucking mouth, okay?Copy !req
410. Look, I'm sorry.Copy !req
411. Lou, I'm just fucked up,
Lou. I just need a little...Copy !req
412. I need a minute to think, okay?Copy !req
413. There's gotta be another way. Lou?Copy !req
414. Hello?Copy !req
415. Hey.Copy !req
416. Oh, really?Copy !req
417. - Oh.
- Who is that?Copy !req
418. Okay, well, I need to get
ready. Okay, no, I'll get a cab.Copy !req
419. Yeah, it's fine.Copy !req
420. Okay, bye.Copy !req
421. What's going on?Copy !req
422. Huh? What's going on?Copy !req
423. I'm getting on a plane. You're
gonna go back to that place.Copy !req
424. Slow down, okay? Slow down.Copy !req
425. Yo, chill, dude, we're gonna
be a minute. Just chill, okay?Copy !req
426. Ahem, just slow down a minute.Copy !req
427. Lou. Lou. This is so fucked up.Copy !req
428. Who's gonna be looking
out for you over there? Hmm?Copy !req
429. - Who's gonna look out for you?
- It's okay.Copy !req
430. I need more of a plan, Lou.Copy !req
431. - Ruben.

622. It's time, okay?Copy !req
623. It's time. We gotta do something.Copy !req
624. Right?Copy !req
625. Try and save my fucking life.Copy !req
626. So that's what I'm doing, okay?Copy !req
627. No one else is gonna save my life. Right?Copy !req
628. If I just sit here and diddle around,Copy !req
629. what am I gonna have? Nothing.Copy !req
630. Okay?Copy !req
631. And all this shit, what does it matter?Copy !req
632. What does it matter? It just passes.Copy !req
633. Yo, if I disappear, like, who cares?Copy !req
634. Nobody cares, man. Seriously.Copy !req
635. Yo, and that's okay. That's life.Copy !req

637. No, for real, okay?Copy !req
638. It just passes. It just fucking...Copy !req
639. Fucking passes.Copy !req
640. I wonder, uh...Copy !req
641. all these mornings you've
been sitting in my study.Copy !req
642. Sitting.Copy !req
643. Have you had any...Copy !req
644. moments of stillness?Copy !req
645. Because you're right, Ruben.Copy !req
646. The world does keep
moving, and it can be a...Copy !req
647. damn cruel place.Copy !req
648. But for me...Copy !req
649. those moments of stillness,Copy !req
650. that place, that's the kingdom of God.Copy !req
651. And that place...Copy !req
652. will never abandon you.Copy !req
653. But...Copy !req
654. I see you've made your choice, right?Copy !req
655. Yeah.Copy !req
656. And I sincerely hope...Copy !req
657. that it brings you happiness, Ruben.Copy !req
658. You know what I was wondering?Copy !req
659. I don't know if it's possible...Copy !req
660. But, uh,Copy !req
661. I need money to...Copy !req
662. Just to buy back my RV, you know?Copy !req
663. You know, me and Lou, it's where we live.Copy !req
664. It's our home.Copy !req
665. You know?Copy !req
666. And I can totally pay you back.Copy !req
667. Just, um, now I've
got an issue with time.Copy !req
668. Ruben...Copy !req
669. I don't understand the situation
that you put yourself in...Copy !req
670. but from where I'm sitting...Copy !req
671. you look and sound like an addict.Copy !req
672. No, no. Yo, no.Copy !req
673. I'm not. It's not a... I'm not an...Copy !req
674. It's fine, okay?Copy !req
675. My situation, it's cool, okay?Copy !req
676. Seriously, my girlfriend's dad is rich.Copy !req
677. He'll give me the money, okay?Copy !req
678. This is nothing. You can't
imagine how nothing this is.Copy !req
679. Seriously.Copy !req
680. Okay?Copy !req
681. I'm fucking stupid. I'm sorry to ask.Copy !req
682. I'm sorry, okay?Copy !req
683. Okay.Copy !req
684. I'm just gonna stay just...Copy !req
685. three or four weeks
until they... activate.Copy !req
686. Ruben...Copy !req
687. as you know, everybody
here shares in the beliefCopy !req
688. that being deaf is not a handicap,Copy !req
689. not something to fix.Copy !req
690. It's pretty important around here.Copy !req
691. All these kids...Copy !req
692. all of us...Copy !req
693. need to be reminded of it...Copy !req
694. every day.Copy !req
695. And my house is a house built
on that belief and built on trust.Copy !req
696. And when that trust is violated...Copy !req
697. things happen.Copy !req
698. And I can't have that.Copy !req
699. There are too many others to consider.Copy !req
700. And so...Copy !req
701. in your current state, at this time...Copy !req
702. I'm gonna have to ask you
to pack up your bags today...Copy !req
703. and find another place to be, Ruben.Copy !req
704. Cool.Copy !req
705. Are you ready?Copy !req
706. Okay.Copy !req
707. Here we go.Copy !req
708. Can you hear me?Copy !req
709. - Say again.
- Can you hear me?Copy !req
710. Oh!Copy !req
711. How does it sound?Copy !req
712. Uh, it sounds weird.Copy !req
713. Okay, well, let's tryCopy !req
714. making an adjustment.Copy !req
715. How about now? How is that?Copy !req
716. Oh, that's bad. It, um...Copy !req
717. It's bad.Copy !req
718. Do you want to describe
what you're hearing?Copy !req
719. It's, um...Copy !req
720. It's like... high. High.Copy !req
721. Um...Copy !req
722. Um...Copy !req
723. can you change the...?Copy !req
724. Well, I can try and
make another adjustment.Copy !req
725. How's that?Copy !req
726. Okay. Ruben, this is not
sound like you remember,Copy !req
727. and it's the implant in your headCopy !req
728. that's tricking your brainCopy !req
729. into thinking you're actually hearing...Copy !req
730. when in reality, your
ears aren't working still.Copy !req
731. So I would suggest that you take it easyCopy !req
732. for the next few weeks and...Copy !req
733. just...Copy !req
734. get adjusted to how things sound.Copy !req
735. Just take your time.Copy !req
736. Yeah, hi. Is that, um...?Copy !req
737. Is Lou there?Copy !req
738. Who is this?Copy !req
739. It's... It's Ruben.Copy !req
740. It's Ruben.Copy !req
741. - Ah.
- Mmm.Copy !req
742. Hey.Copy !req
743. Bonjour. Uh...Copy !req
744. - Ruben.

746. Yes?Copy !req
747. Louise is not here.Copy !req
748. Ah, you are hearing?Copy !req
749. - You are hearing?

750. I... I had an operation.Copy !req
751. Wow, yes?Copy !req
752. Oh, what is this? What...?Copy !req
753. Oh, that's very good. Louise
told me your wish for this.Copy !req
754. Oh.Copy !req
755. And so, uh...Copy !req
756. So you're back to your drums now?Copy !req
757. Uh... not yet.Copy !req
758. I gotta... I gotta, um...Copy !req
759. I gotta deal with some
stuff first, you know?Copy !req
760. Just gotta... Gotta settle some things.Copy !req
761. Yes. Settle? Like what?Copy !req
762. You know, just, like...Copy !req
763. Just getting back into it
and also some financial stuff.Copy !req
764. - Yes.

765. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
766. Yes. And Louise knows that you're here?Copy !req
767. No. No.Copy !req
768. So it's a big surprise.Copy !req
769. Well, Louise has been
quite busy, you know?Copy !req
770. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
771. We're doing a party.Copy !req
772. So she'll be back home tonight.Copy !req
773. That's most certainly.Copy !req
774. Oh, you want...?Copy !req
775. I'm gonna make you some eggs.Copy !req
776. Oh, no. I'm good. Do you
need any help with any of this?Copy !req
777. No, no.Copy !req
778. You need some eggs.Copy !req
779. Thanks.Copy !req
780. Where did you grow, Ruben?Copy !req
781. - Where did I grow up?
- Yes.Copy !req
782. Um, like, all over, you know?Copy !req
783. Texas, California.Copy !req
784. Arizona, Virginia.Copy !req
785. Yeah. All over.Copy !req
786. Why so many places?Copy !req
787. I was, like, uh...Copy !req
788. My mom was a nurse in the military.Copy !req
789. - Mm-hmm.
- You know,Copy !req
790. so she'd get moved around.Copy !req
791. - And your father too?
- No. I mean, I don't know.Copy !req
792. I see.Copy !req
793. Uh, I must be honest, I...Copy !req
794. did not always have good
feelings for you, Ruben,Copy !req
795. all these years.Copy !req
796. I confide, it is like if one...Copy !req
797. had stolen something precious.Copy !req
798. You understand?Copy !req
799. But I know it's not you
that took Louise from me.Copy !req
800. Her mother did that.Copy !req
801. She took Louise when she left me.Copy !req
802. And she took her again
when she killed herself.Copy !req
803. And Louise must have
come back home then...Copy !req
804. but she was hating me so much.Copy !req
805. What could I do?Copy !req
806. And you, you...Copy !req
807. Well, you gave her a place to go... then.Copy !req
808. And this is a good thing.Copy !req
809. Do you see, I didn't like
you much at the time,Copy !req
810. but now I thank you.Copy !req
811. I want to say to you that.Copy !req
812. But anyhow, you're gonna be
so happy to see how Louise...Copy !req
813. is doing great now.Copy !req
814. And that's the most important.Copy !req
815. Isn't it?Copy !req
816. Hmm? Okay.Copy !req

871. - You were in it.
- Well, yeah.Copy !req
872. Straight up. You sounded
amazing singing that.Copy !req
873. That's my dad's stuff, but...Copy !req
874. - And you're speaking French now.
- Oh, my God. Barely.Copy !req
875. I didn't know you could do that.Copy !req
876. Well, I've mostly forgotten,
but it's coming back a little.Copy !req
877. Yeah, I was thinking,
like, do you remember...?Copy !req
878. You remember this place at all?Copy !req
879. I didn't, but...Copy !req
880. it's so disconcerting,Copy !req
881. the things that your memory
holds onto without you knowing.Copy !req
882. My mom and I never really
talked about this place.Copy !req
883. It was always some
weird dreamy idea, but...Copy !req
884. I mean, now it's come back a little.Copy !req
885. Right.Copy !req
886. Yeah.Copy !req
887. I told everyone about our
little gypsy life together.Copy !req
