# The boys always told me
# Every hole
# Is a goal for them

# Would be a goal

# Wanting you down there Laid bare

# Love, oh, love
# Oh, careless love
Mmm,
Lou,
Stop,
Lou, it's up time,
Up time,
-Yeah, -Come on,
Hey, come on, stop that,
We gotta get right to it for grizzle, remember?
Okay,
Yo, I got some smoothie for you,
You're gonna fucking hate it, but it's healthy,
Want some? I wouldn't recommend it,
It's disgusting,
Okay, poops,
Dance time,

No?
Nah? No?
Okay,
# Yours, mine,,,

What's the thing that he won't do in that song?
What's left for him to not do?

I used to imagine Jeff Goldblum was my dad,
Saw him in The Fly, I was like, "That must be what my dad looks like,"
Also explains a lot, because the dude's fucking weird,
But he looks like me, man,
It's true, yeah,
-Yeah! -You kind of look like Jeff Goldblum,
Why is it okay to, like, use a toothpick in public but not floss?
Have you ever tried that?
-To floss my teeth in public? No, -You're at the dinner table,
-you pull out some, -I used to imagine my funeral a lot
when I was a kid, at school, in Math,
Fun!
I used to daydream about my funeral, then I'd make myself cry!
Yeah, I think I'd get cremated, What about you?
Cremated, or, like, just fed to the birds, you know?
Well, you know, now you can get ashes put into tattoo ink,
-My face on your back, where the clown is, -This?
-What? -Yeah,
# Scary clown face
We don't need to put them all out,
I know, but we need to fill them up a little bit,
Okay,
You wanna put out some different ones?
That's the face of a sale,
Okay, this one costs about 50 bucks extra because,,,
-It's an original artwork, -I'm gonna spit on it,
-Fifty dollars, -Okay, 100 bucks,
Ten grand,
Did you guys sound check?
-You have? -No, not yet,
We're going on at--
-Did Margaret sound check yet? -Five?
-Yo, you sound checked yet? -No,
Not looking forward to it,
Terrified,
Half my shit is broken down,
Get back--
,,,now everything's acting all funny,
Have we ever played together?
-I think we have before, yeah, -Yes, you have,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
At Rough Trade?
Yeah, in New York,
It's probably a two out of ten, in terms of his hearing,
He can't--
He's having trouble even communicating with me,
Is--?
I gotta see a doctor?
He can see you now,
-What? -He can see you right now,
-Now? -Yes,
I-- I--
Where's--?
Hey, Lulu, I'm sorry, I had to run out, baby,
I gotta deal with some shit, okay?
Don't worry about anything, okay?
Mr, Stone?
Oh, yeah,
Okay, how is that volume?
Is the volume loud enough?
Good,
-Can you hear me? -What?
Can you hear me okay?
-Volume-wise? -I can hear you,
Okay,
I'm gonna say these words,
I want you to repeat them back to me,
I'm gonna start with just your right ear,
Okay?
Base,
Mess,
Mace,
Cause,
Car,
Mop,
Noisy,
Search,
Throat,
-Ditch, -Fish,
Talk,
T--
Ring,
Broom,
Germ,
Life,
Team,
Lid,
This is your chart, Ruben,
Now, as far as the volume that you can hear,,,
you, on your right ear, were 28 percent,
and on your left ear, you were 24 percent,
It's what?
In the left ear, you came in at 24 percent,
-Okay, -No matter how loud I made the test,
I could have put it at 11,,,
you were still going to miss 70 to 80 percent of the words that I said,
Okay,
That is not good,
Yeah, I see that, so, what--?
What can we do about it? How do I get it back?
Well,,,
you have to understand something here,
Whether or not this is related to your exposure to noise,
or it's an autoimmune issue,,,
doesn't really matter,
I understand I got a problem,
I'm asking you what I can do about it,
Well, what you can do about it first
is to eliminate all exposure to loud noises,
And then, we can run some tests,
and we can determine exactly what is going on with your ears,
And if we do, then we can have our other conversations,
You could have what?
Well, there are implants that bypass the cochlea,
You said implants?
-Yes, -Those work?
For people with severe hearing loss or complete deafness, yes, they help,
Well, then let's do that,
Well, it's not that simple,
It's a very involved process, and it's quite costly,
How much is it?
Well, they can run between 40 and 80,000 dollars, depending,,,
and they are not covered by insurance,
Okay,
And,,,
like, when can you do it? You got them in stock now?
Mr, Stone, your hearing,,,
is deteriorating rapidly,
Am I right?
And over the next few days,,,
or even hours, it's going to continue,
And the hearing that you have lost is not coming back,
You have to understand, your first responsibility,,,
is to preserve the hearing you have,
Ruben, what the fuck?
I can't hear anything,
What?
I can't hear anything,
Yes, it will come back,
I have to--
There's, like, a surgery,
What?
It's simple, It's all it is,
There's an implant, They put it in your shit,
It's like a--
Okay? It'll come back,
It's fine, Lou, It's like 40 grand, 80 grand, whatever, but it's--
It will come back,
-Till then, Lou, we just keep going, okay? -No,
-Lou, -No,
Listen to me,
Let's play tomorrow, see what it's like, Let's try it, okay?
I'm gonna be like a click track, You can play to me,
-No, -You can adj--
It's different, but it is what it is, Lou,
Lou, we have a--
-Lou, we have a tour booked, -It's not safe,
We have a tour booked,
-We have a tour booked, Lou, -No,
-It doesn't matter, It's not safe! -Yes, we do, We have a tour booked!
-Ruben! -I fucking knew it,
I'm going outside,
Yo!
Buddy, you got a smoke, please?
This is ridiculous,
He's sleeping,
Hi, Hi, Hector?
Hi, this is Lou,
Ruben's having a bit of trouble right now,
-Hey, Hector, what's up? -He's had some hearing problems,
Yeah, I mean, I could put him on, but he won't be able to hear you,
Okay,
Talk to him, Talk to him,
Hey, Hector, what's going on, man?
It's Ruben, I'd say it's good to hear your voice,
But I can't hear a word you're saying right now,
so, this is completely pointless,
Lou wanted me to call you because I had a cigarette,
You know, not great, not ideal, but considering the circumstances,
which are pretty fucked up,,,
you know, understandable,
I'd say understandable, For everyone apart from Lou, it seems,
I got this, bro,
I know you'd probably be asking me if I'm steady right now,
if I'm feeling level,
Not completely, but I'm cool,
You'd tell me serenity is something you get
when you stop wishing for a different past,
Bro, I love you, man,
Oh, my manager wants the phone back, so, I gotta go,
Okay, love you, bro,
Hey, Yeah, he can't hear a word,
Well, if you get him to a group, then how's he gonna hear?
Okay,
Okay, thanks, Hector, Thank you,
When? When--? Okay, yeah, I'll make sure it's on loud,
Okay, thank you so much, Thank you,
Okay, bye,
He's gonna call back,
What did he say? Write it down, What did--?
To call back,
He's gonna call back, That's all? Fucking Hector,
What are we gonna do now?
What do you wanna do, Lou?
Fuck this,
It's Hector,
Hey,
Yeah, he's here,
Not so good,
Okay,
Yeah, what is it, and,,,?
What? What's the plan?
Well, we're in Missouri, so, that's gonna take a few days,
I don't really know,
No, no, no, we'll leave right away,
Okay, yeah,
Okay, thank you so much, I really, really appreciate it,
Thank you,
No, yeah, I'll tell him,
Okay, bye,
What?
He's found a place,
Is that him?
Ruben,
I'm sorry, I don't know that-- I'm Ruben,
This is Lou,
Hi, I'm Lou,
I'm sorry, I read lips,
-My name is Lou, -Lou,
-I'm Joe, -Hi, Joe,
-You mind if I borrow him for a minute? -No,
You mind if you watch my beast here for me while we have a talk?
Oh, okay,
Lou, this is Luis,
He's my hearing dog, He let me know you were here,
I named him after Luis Aparicio from the White Sox in '59,
-You wanna be friends, give him these, -Oh, sure,
-Okay? -Yeah,
Yo, what about--? Lou, you coming?
No, no, no, you,
-You sure? -Yeah,
-I won't be long, okay? -Okay,
You be a good boy,
Okay,
Test,
Okay, So, it works,
Is this okay for you?
Yeah, can you hear me?
No, I'm gonna read your lips,
I might miss some things, but I'm gonna try, okay?
-Okay, -Try to speak clearly,
Yeah,
How are you, Ruben?
I'm okay,
You're an addict?
Yep,
What sort of drugs?
What did I take?
Everything,
Mainly heroin,
Heroin,
Have you thought about using since you lost your hearing?
Today is not a good day,
I'm not thinking clear today,
Let's talk about me,
I'm an alcoholic,
I lost my hearing in the Vietnam War when a bomb exploded near me,
I still remember the music I was listening to
when that bomb went off,
After that,,,
I lost everything else,
My wife, My kid,
Not because of being deaf, mind you, Ruben,
It was the beer,
How long you been clean?
-Four years, -Four?
And you need some help right now?
I should check on Lou,
How long you two been together?
Four years,
You play music, right?
-No, -No?
No, not anymore,
Not until I get the implant,
Implant,
Yeah, sorry, you know about these implants they got now?
It's like a-- They have implants,
I know, yes,
Expensive,
Yeah, thank you, Yes, they are,
So,,,
you should understand that,,,
this is a deaf community,
Not just my program, but we're part of a larger deaf community,
And my program, and the people in it,,,
they benefit tremendously from that deaf community,
We work with them, and they work with us,
But it's very important, if you wanna be here,,,
to understand that we're looking for a solution to,,,
To this,
Not this,
Why don't you go invite Lou in here?
Sure,
Lou!
This guy wants to talk to you,
Okay,
Well,,,
I think it's important that you stay here with us right now, Ruben,
Learn some sign language,,,
find some solid ground,
What do you think?
Man, that sounds great, but we don't have money now,
Well, sometimes our church sponsors deaf people in need,
and right now, you fit the bill, Ruben,
-We're really not churchgoing people, -Sorry, I read--
Sorry, Ruben, I read lips, What'd you say?
We're not religious, either of us, Very much not into religion,
No offense, you know,
Religion plays no part in this, Ruben,
The church helps people in need, not religious people,
The important thing is that you wanna stay here,
-Yeah, -Lou,,,
do you think Ruben needs help right now?
You understand if,,,
Ruben were to stay here, he'd have to do it on his own,
Members live in a house separate from the outside world,
No contact to the outside world,
No phones,
I found that in all cases, that's the way it works best,
Yo, hold up a minute, okay? Let me catch up, Okay?
Can you help Ruben commit to that, Lou?
Wanna try this for a couple days?
We have our own home, We can stay in the RV,
I'm sorry to say, that's not the way it works here, Ruben,
Well, that's a problem, then,
Do you have anywhere you can be during this time?
Yo, that's that, man, We're done,
We're done, Thanks a lot for your time, bro, Appreciate it, okay?
We're out, baby, Let's go,
Hey,
Lou,
I'm thinking we should still go hit our fucking show in Dayton, okay?
I can fucking watch you for cues,
I know it was rocky last time, but we weren't on the same page,
Now you know what's up, I can fucking watch you,
And I know this shit inside out,
Okay? Yo, I can fucking make it work until we have enough for surgery,
Okay? We're gonna get there,
Yo, seriously, we're good to go,
Lou,
Hey, I'll deal with this shit,
I'll deal with it, I fucking will, It's just money, You know that, right?
Come here,
Ruben!
Ruben! Stop it!
Ruben!
Lou, look at me, I'm not going back to that fucking place, okay?
I know, I know, I'm--
Well, then fucking support me!
How's about that? Fucking support me, Lou!
You don't wanna be here?
Of course I do,
I knew it, I fucking knew it, I fucking knew this was coming,
I fucking knew it, This is about the fucking album, huh?
-What happened? You get a better offer? -What are you talking about?
I can't hear you, I can't fucking hear you, understand me?
I can't-- I'm fucking deaf! I'm fucking deaf!
No fucking hearing! Okay? Okay?
No, what I need is a fucking gun in my mouth,
What I need is a fucking gun in my fucking mouth, okay?
Look, I'm sorry,
Lou, I'm just fucked up, Lou,
I just need a little-- I need a minute to think, okay?
There's gotta be another way, Lou?
Hello?
Hey,
Oh, really?
Who is that?
Okay, well, I need to get ready, Okay, no, I'll get a cab,
Yeah, it's fine,
Okay, bye,
What's going on?
I'm getting on a plane, and you're gonna go back to that place,
Slow down, okay? Slow down,
Yo, chill, dude, we're gonna be a minute, Just chill, okay?
Just slow down a minute,
Lou,
This is so fucked up, Who's gonna be looking out for you over there?
-Who's gonna look out for you? -It's okay,
I need more of a plan, Lou,
-Ruben, -I need more from you, Lou!
I need more of a plan, Lou,
You can't just fucking--
Jesus!
-Lou, come on, -Ruben, Ruben,
You hurt yourself?
Ruben, you hurt yourself,,,
you hurt me,
I'll hurt myself, too,
-I'll hurt myself, too, -Don't say that,
Promise,
Say it, Rubi, or all of this is for shit! Say it! Promise!
Go back there right now! Promise! Say it!
-I'll promise if you-- -No! Say it! Promise!
-Go back to that place, -Only if-- I need--
I need you to wait for me,
Okay? You're it for me, Lou,
You're my fucking heart, You're it for me, okay?
You gotta wait for me,
Fuck,
Listen to me, listen, listen,
When you get there, I need you to--
I need you to write to me, okay?
Yeah? Will you write me and tell me you're okay?
Promise me,
And, listen, if it's bullshit, you just get your ass back here,
I'll fix it, I swear to God,
You know I'll fucking fix this, It's not that hard, okay?
Just come back here,
-I love you, -My fucking heart,
Okay?
Motherfucker,
Oh, motherfucker,
Oh, fuck,
Fuck,
Motherfucker,
What's up?
Yo, Hey,
You want my car keys?
If I ask for them back, I want them back, okay?
We're not doing that,
Your name,
My name's Ruben,
I'm an addict,
I have four years clean now,
I'm sorry, I don't talk sign language,
That's it,
My name is Shaheem,
I'm a heroin addict,
Fuck,
Okay,
What?
Okay,
I know!
I don't-- Sorry,
Ruben,
Okay,
Yeah,
I'm coming, okay?
One minute,
I'll be back,
Fuck,
Oh, hey, Joe,
What was that all about, Ruben?
What, with your roof?
I was fixing your roof,
One of the eaves is-- I was trying to fix your roof,
You don't need to fix anything here,
Okay,
I've got a little assignment for you, okay?
You get up early, right?
Yeah, pretty early, yeah,
I'll have hot coffee waiting for you at 5:30,
Early enough for you?
I don't know, I guess,
Okay, 5,
And I'll,,,
provide a room for you,
What for?
And there's nothing that needs to be accomplished in this room,
All I want you to do is just,,,
sit,
All I ask is if and when you cannot just sit,,,
you turn yourself to the pen and paper that I'm gonna supply for you,
And I want you to,,,
write,
Doesn't matter what you write, how you write, whether it's spelled correctly,,,
or if it's just a big,,,
mess,
I don't care, No one will read it, okay?
But I want you to keep writing continuously,
without stopping, until you feel like you can,,,
sit again,
Does it have to be writing?
Writing, yes, No drawing, Writing, yes,
And if,,, sometime in the future,
it feels like it's a little bit too difficult for you,,,
you should come and find me,
I'll be in my apartment,,,
doing the same thing as you, okay, Ruben?
I'll be writing, too,
Okay,
Nice,
Nice, nice, nice,
So fucking stupid,
You fucking idiot,
What a fucking idiot,
Hey,
You think he's okay?
You okay?
-No, -Not feeling better?
Come on over,
Look at those flowers,
He's quick,
All right, come here, my friend,
See, I knew he had it,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N-
R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z,
He won,
-No, no, he won, -It was close,
No, he won, you can go again if you want to,
Again! Again! Again! Again!
A, B, C, D,,, G, H, I, J, K, L,,, T, U, V, O, Q-
-R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z
Yes!
See?
Good job! You did it!
No, I thought,,,
I thought you said you were smart,
But your wife and your daughter are better, right?
See? He knows!
He already knows,
I don't like it completely shaved,
I prefer it with a little hair,
Whoa, not too much,
Natural, got it,
Trimmed and all, you know?
Lovely,
Who is she?
Okay, okay,
Where do you want it?
Right here,
I like it,
Cool, Thank you,
My bad,
Watch me,
Slowly,
I feel a little bit old today,
You are old,
I love your name sign, "Ruben,"
That first day you were here,,,
you reminded me of an owl,
O-W-L?
Owl,
Fuck you,
And you've become very important to a lot of people around here,
You know? It's true,
Thank you,
I'd like to offer you,,,
a way that maybe you can continue on here with us,
I imagine you're starting to think about the future a little bit?
-Future? -Future,
I know I am,
But I do think there's a way you could maybe stay and work here,,,
maybe with my program,
Maybe,,, with the kids at school,
Maybe both,
Anyway,,,
you,,, think about it, you know?
What the fuck?
Her?
Yeah,
Sexy,
Yeah, Cute,
What do you think, huh? Yo, what do you think?
This?
Yeah,
Wait, yo, it's easy, It's easy, Just slowly,
Yo, It's for her, huh?
It's for her, We need money, We need money,
It's for us,
I'm leveling with you, It's for her,
Yo, For this,,,
for this, remember, it's cash, okay?
Not check,
Cool, Yo, you okay?
Sure?
Hi, is that Prince Audiology? Can you hear me?
It's Stone, Ruben Stone, R-U-B-E-N,
Stone, S-T-O-N-E,
I'm confirming an appointment,
Yeah, I can hold,
-So, listen-- -What did you say?
-Write it down, -Yeah,
I can't hear you, Write it down,
I got a proposition for you,
-What's that? -What if I give it to you at this price?
But on one condition,
I have the option of coming back to you within eight weeks,,, okay?
I get to buy it back off you for ten percent more than this,
It must be in its current condition,
Everything has to be exactly like it is now,
What do you think?
-Why would you do that? -I can't hear you, I'm deaf,
So, it's take it or leave it, What's it gonna be?
Okay?
You're back,
Come on, Have a seat here,
Thank you,
I did the deed,
The deed?
Surgery,
How'd you get the money?
I sold my RV and other shit,
-Okay, -Look, Joe,
I really don't wanna explain myself right now, okay?
It's time, okay?
It's time, We gotta do something, Right?
Try and save my fucking life,
So, that's what I'm doing, okay?
No one else is gonna save my life, Right?
If I just sit here and diddle around, what am I gonna have? Nothing,
Okay?
And all this shit, what does it matter? What does it matter? It just passes,
Yo, if I disappear, like, who cares?
Nobody cares, man, Seriously,
Yo, and that's okay, That's life,
That's life,
No, for real, okay?
It just passes, It just fucking, fucking passes,
I wonder,,,
all these mornings you've been sitting in my study,
Sitting,
Have you had any,,,
moments of stillness?
Because you're right, Ruben,
The world does keep moving, and it can be a damn cruel place,
But for me,,,
those moments of stillness,
that place, that's the kingdom of God,
And that place,,,
will never abandon you,
But,,,
I see you've made your choice, right?
Yeah,
And I sincerely hope,,,
that it brings you happiness, Ruben,
Thank you,
You know what I was wondering, Joe? I don't know if it's possible,,,
but,,,
I need money to--
Just to buy back my RV,,, you know?
You know, me and Lou, it's where we live, It's our home,
You know?
And I can totally pay you back,
Just,,, now I've got an issue with time,
Ruben,,,
I don't understand the situation that you put yourself in,,,
but from where I'm sitting,,,
you look and sound like an addict,
No, no, Yo, no,
I'm not, It's not a-- I'm not an--
It's fine, okay? My situation, it's cool, okay?
Seriously, my girlfriend's dad is rich, He'll give me the money, okay?
This is nothing, You can't imagine how nothing this is,
Seriously,
Okay?
I'm fucking stupid, I'm sorry to ask,
I'm sorry, okay?
Okay,
I'm just gonna stay,,,
three or four weeks until they activate,
Ruben,,,
as you know, everybody here shares in the belief
that being deaf is not a handicap, not something to fix,
It's pretty important around here,
All these kids,,,
all of us,,,
need to be reminded of it,,,
every day,
And my house is a house built on that belief and built on trust,
And when that trust is violated,,,
things happen,
And I can't have that,
There are too many others to consider,
And so,,,
in your current state, at this time,,,
I'm gonna have to ask you to pack up your bags today,,,
and find another place to be, Ruben,
Cool,
Are you ready?
Okay,
Here we go,
Can you hear me?
-Say again, -Can you hear me?
How does it sound?
It sounds weird,
Okay, well, let's try making an adjustment,
How about now? How is that?
Oh, that's bad,
It's bad,
Do you want to describe what you're hearing?
It's,,,
It's like,,, high, High,
Can you--?
Well, I can try and make another adjustment,
How's that?
Okay, Ruben, this is not sound like you remember,,,
and it's the implant in your head that's tricking your brain
into thinking you're actually hearing,,,
when in reality, your ears aren't working still,
So, I would suggest that you take it easy for the next few weeks and,,,
just,,,
get adjusted to how things sound,
Just take your time,
Yeah, hi, Is that--?
Is Lou there?
Who is this?
It's Ruben,
Hey,
-Ruben, -Come in,
You are hungry, Ruben?
Yes?
Louise is not here,
You are hearing?
-You are hearing? -Yeah,
I had an operation,
Wow, yes?
Oh, what is this? What--?
Oh, that's very good, Louise told me your wish for this,
And so,,,
you're back to your drums now?
Not yet,
I gotta-- I gotta--
I gotta deal with some stuff first, you know?
Just gotta settle some things,
Yes, Settle? Like what?
You know, just, like--
Just getting back into it and also some financial stuff,
-Yes, -You know, just gotta figure it all out,
Yes,
Louise knows that you're here?
No, No,
So, it's a big surprise,
Well, Louise has been quite busy, you know?
We're doing a party,
So, she'll be back home tonight,
That's most certainly,
Oh, you want--?
I'm gonna make you some eggs,
Oh, no, I'm good, Do you need any help with any of this?
No, no, no,
You need some eggs,
Thanks,
Where did you grow, Ruben?
Where did I grow up?
Yes,
Like, all over, you know?
Texas, California,
Arizona, Virginia,
Yeah, All over,
Why so many places?
I was, like--
My mom was a nurse in the military,
You know, so, she'd get moved around,
And your father, too?
No, I mean, I don't know,
I see,
I must be honest, I,,,
did not always have good feelings for you, Ruben,
all these years,
I confide, it is like if one,,,
had stolen something precious,
You understand?
But I know it's not you that took Louise from me,
Her mother did that,
She took Louise when she left me,
And she took her again when she killed herself,
And Louise must have come back home then,,,
but she was hating me so much,
What could I do?
And you, you,,,
Well, you gave her a place to go,,, then,
And this is a good thing,
Do you see, I didn't like you much at the time,
but now I thank you,
I want to say to you that,
But anyhow, you're gonna be so happy to see how Louise,,,
is doing great now,
And that's the most important,
Isn't it?
Okay,
Hi,
-Can you hear me? -Yeah, Loud and clear,
Oh, look at you, Lulu,
Holy shit,
Look at you, huh?
-What? -You look different,
Whoa, no scratching, huh?
Oh, yeah,
That's good,
Does it feel weird?
Yeah, Does it look weird?
No,
No, it doesn't, It looks really neat,
So crazy,
How'd you do it?
Just worked some magic,
I have to talk to you about it,
I had to just move some things around,
Louise, tu descends?
Did Richard tell you about his party thing tonight?
Oh, shit, Yeah,
Yeah, I have to go and sort some things out,
-No, it's great, It's cool, -Yeah,
Go do your thing,
Okay,
Do you need anything?
No, I'm good,
I'll just be downstairs,
-Hey, -Hey,
Ruben, mon petite ami,
Hi,
-What's up? -How are you?
-Come again? -How are you?
How are you?
Did you get some food? Did you get some food?
-Yeah, -Yeah? You okay?
-You? -Yeah, yeah,
It's okay,
-Excuse me, -Okay,
I would like to make a wish,
I would like my daughter to sing a little song with me,
-Papa, no, -This is my right,
It's my birthday,
Come,
Some of you knew Louise's mother,
and know that I wrote song for her,,,
many,
And this was your favorite when you were little,
Do you remember?
# You,,,
# You smile
# And me, I cry
# You, you go away
# Me, I stay
# The sky is purer
# Over there
# Towards somewhere else
# Fade, the colors
# Between four walls
# This love is so crazy
# That you have not known
# This love kills me
# Again, my love
# I am dead
# You, you smile # You, you smile
# And me, I cry # And me, I cry
# You, you go away # You, you go away
# Me, I stay # Me, I stay
# The sky is purer # The sky is purer
# Over there, towards somewhere else # Over there, towards somewhere else
# Fade, the colors # Fade, the colors
# Between four walls # Between four walls
# This love is so crazy # This love is so crazy
# That you have not known # That you have not known
# This love kills me # This love kills me
# Again, my love # Again, my love
# I am dead # I am dead
Hey,
Are you okay?
Yeah,
Sorry, I just need some water,
Are you okay?
-Yeah? -Yeah, it's just a little dry in here,
Hey, that was pretty cool tonight,
-You sounded fucking great, -Yeah, right,
You're telling me you weren't feeling it?
-You were in it, -Well, yeah,
Straight up, You sounded amazing singing that,
That's my dad's stuff, but,,,
-You're speaking French now, -Oh, my God, Barely,
I didn't know you could do that,
Well, I've mostly forgotten, but it's coming back a little,
Yeah, I was thinking, like, do you remember--?
You remember this place at all?
I didn't, but,,,
it's so disconcerting,
the things that your memory holds onto without you knowing,
My mom and I never really talked about this place,
It was always some weird dreamy idea, but,,,
I mean, now it's come back a little,
Right,
Yeah,
I told everyone about our little gypsy life together,
I miss it,
We gotta get back into it,
You know? We gotta get back on it,
We gotta get back in the fucking-- In the groove, huh?
Don't you think? I gotta go get the Airstream sorted,
What do you mean, "sorted"?
I just got a shit ton of things to do, you know?
Right, Like, with the tour stuff?
-The tour, everything, -Yeah,
We just gotta get back on it, You know, everything, The album, the tour,
The,,, You know?
Yeah,
Hey,
It's okay, Lou,
What?
It's okay,
What's okay?
You saved my life,
You made it--
You made it beautiful,
So, it's okay,
What?
Why are you saying this?
You saved my life, too, Rubi,
