Just in time.
I made a casserole.

No, thanks.
I've got an idea for a song.

How was work?

It was good.
I've just... before I forget it.

OK, idea for a song in A minor.
Possible title, "Suburbia".

Oh, f*ck!

That's Madness.

f*cking Madness song.

Er... But not Johnston or Harman.

'So how would you describe the...
how would you describe your music?'

'Thank you for your enquiry,
Anthony.'

'That's a f*cking boring question.

'I would describe our sound
as f*cking happy.'

- Let him speak!
- f*ck you!

Cheese and ham panini. There you go.

'Cheese and ham panini.

'Hashtag livin' the dream.'

'Yeah, that's him.'

'Hello, sir.

'Talk to you over here, sir.'

'Look what
you've made me become!'

I'm gonna do it! I mean it!
This is your fault! This is all on you!

Get out of the water.

We were at this radio station.
He and Clara had a disagreement.

Or... I don't know,
I guess a physical fight.

You're the S... You're playing tonight.

How? Our keyboardist
is trying to drown himself.

I play keyboards.

She's wanted this from the start!

No, no. I wasn't... that wasn't a...

Red hair. OK.

You play C, F and G?

- Yeah.
- You're in.

Really?

So what shall we do now?
Shall we run through the songs?

Stage door, 9:00pm tonight.

OK. Let me give you my number.

- Is he gonna be OK?
- He'II be fine.

He'II still need to spend
the night in hospital, though?

He's swallowed a lot of sea water.
He'II have to have his stomach pumped.

What happened?
You just stopped playing.

What the f*ck is wrong with you?
You stopped playing?

Bullshit!

This is just bullshit!
f*cking bullshit!

It's OK, come on.

Start up the car.

Hello?

'Lucas has been sectioned
and we need a new keyboard player.

'Frank said,
"Remember that grateful-Iooking boy

who jumped on stage last week
uninvited?"'

I wasn't uninvited.

'Frank said he thought you brought
something cherishable that night.

'But he can sound really muffled
under the head,

'so I thought he said
you brought something perishable.

'You know, like food that decays easily.
Like fish or fruit.'

'So I said, "Come on, man,
anybody can do that."

'So anyways, we're doing this really
major thing over in Ireland. You in?'

Yes.

'Clacket Lane Services, M25,
5:00pm today.'

'You would not believe
what's happening to me right now.

'Hashtag through the looking glass.'

Hello.

I wasn't sure where to wait.
Clacket Lane's pretty labyrinthine, isn't it?

I was gonna stand
by the Bank of Scotland Cashline.

Next to the RAC membership stall there.

But, er, I thought I'd be more visible
on the approach.

So I just decided to come straight...
Hello. Oh.

- Frank, scoot over.
- Hi, everybody.

I was just saying to Don
that I didn't know where to stand,

cos I thought
that you might not see me, so, erm...

- I have a certificate.
- This way.

It's an official
medical document. Certificate.

You'II note the official stamp.

It's all legal and above board.

So, what do you think of Frank?

Light me.

- Erm...
- f*cking amazing, isn't he?

Frank, you're on fire.

He lives all the way out there, man.
In the furthest corners.

f*ck, I wanna be Frank.

- Don.
- Yeah?

- The head.
- Smells like sausages.

He never takes it off.

- Never?
- No, never.

- He sleeps in it?
- Yep.

What about eating?

He sucks liquid food through a straw
that he funnels up under the neckline.

Occasionally solids,
but it's not encouraged.

- What kind of liquid food?
- Grownut. It's like a supplement.

- He must have a very bushy beard.
- Not necessarily.

How does he clean his teeth?

Look, Jon, you're just gonna
have to go with this.

OK.

Sorry, it's just...
it's pretty crazy, isn't it?

I know, I know. I understand.

But let me tell you something.

Frank, with all his issues,
is without a doubt

the most 1 00-percent
sanest cat I've ever met.

- OK.
- Me, on the other hand...

- You seem pretty sane to me.
- Yeah.

But, no, no, I spent a lot of time
in a psychiatric hospital.

I was labelled as severely mentally ill.

I used to f*ck mannequins.

- Right.
- It's a condition.

Here we go.

'Welcome to Ireland.
Remember to drive on the left.'

Wakey-wakey, eggs and bakey.

And everybody out.

Welcome to Vetno.

Our new home.

Don?

- Don!
- Alright.

- You like?
- Impulse response.

- OK, people.
- Excuse me.

How long will we be staying here for?

Rhythm section shall be housed in here.
Ah, bunks.

It is.

Frank. The master bedroom for you.

Had it customised
for all your requirements.

These are the bathing accommodations.

We'II have productive seasons here.

- And, Clara, your living quarters.
- Don!

Nice panoramic view of the lake here.

And, Jon,
you and I are just through here.

- Don.
- Yeah, buddy?

Don. Sorry. I actually told work
that I'd be back on Monday.

- So I was just wondering...
- Why the f*ck would you do that?

I thought it was just a gig,

so I've only brought one pair of pants
and a T-shirt.

I'II be staying right here
in the green trailer.

So if you need anything at night,
you know, sugar, milk,

if you freak out,

you just come a-knocking.

Well, come on, chop chop.

- That's alpine cedar. Nice.
- Don.

- Yeah?
- How long are we staying here?

Just as long as it takes
to record the album, Jon.

'Vetno, Ireland.

'After several days
of what Frank calls fieldwork,

'rehearsals proper have begun.'

'I'm settling into my new life

'and gradually getting to know
my fellow band members.'

Wow, this is beautiful.
What do you call it?

Stay away from my f*cking Theremin.

'A few teething problems,
as you would expect,

'but beginning to feel
Iike one of the g*ng.'

So... I do not know why
Frank asked you to join the group...

but I'm not at all convinced.

You disgust me.

'At Vetno, there's already a palpable
sense of free expression

'and I can't wait to dive
into the creative maelstrom.'

OK, everybody.
Next time round go to G minor. OK?

One, two, three, four.

f*cking major. Major!

'But of course, I shall have
to earn my place in the band.

'At the heart of it all is Frank.

'How to describe Frank?

'Mostly he seems friendly.
Though sometimes a little intense.'

- It'II be worth it!
- Stop, Frank!

It'II be worth it!

'He can hide himself away
for days at a time.

'What goes on inside that head...
inside that head?'

Yes, it's like an aviary.

You're birds. Baraque.

You're a cormorant.

Nana, moorhen.

Clara, the owl. Night hunter.
Silent k*ller.

What have we got here?

Lay an egg for me, little ginger bird.
Lay an egg.

'Frank says he must push us
to our furthest corners

'and unlock the great music
that hides there.'

Squat.

Go on, lay an egg. Get that egg out.
Squeeze that egg out.

'It can feel a little overwhelming
at times.'

'But all in all,
I am happy to be a part of this.'

'Just happy.'

- I don't wanna be me!
- Go back inside! Please.

I don't wanna be me!
Frank, just let me go! I don't wanna live!

Don't let him get to the lake!
Don't let him get to the lake!

I'm free!

- I'm free!
- Wait, Don.

- Oh.
- Don, don't get up.

Did he tell you
about the mannequins?

Yeah.

I met one once.

Caroline Cuntley.

- I'm Frank.
- I'm Jon.

- Does he still...?
- No.

He has relationships with real women
now. But it's hard, you know.

He has to convince them to lie
completely still, so, you know.

Hey, don't tell Don I said anything.

- No.
- He might think it a shameful secret.

I say tell everyone everything.
Why cover anything up? Right?

- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.

Why do you wear that?

- You think it's weird?
- Kinda.

Well, normal faces are weird too,
you know.

The way they're...
smooth, smooth, smooth.

And then, blah, you know...
all bumpy and holes.

And what are eyes like?
Like a science-fiction movie.

Don't get me started on lips.
Like the edges of a very serious wound.

That's true. But your head
is still sort of intimidating.

Well, underneath I'm giving you
a welcoming smile.

Would it help if I said
my facial expressions out loud?

- Well, maybe.
- Welcoming smile.

Frank.

You've been up all night
talking to the keyboard player?

I'm not just a keyboard player.
I write songs, too.

- You write your own songs?
- Hm-hmm.

I'd love to play some for you sometime.

I'd really like that.
Big non-threatening grin.

Delighted look.

You're funny.

- Play one now.
- Excellent.

- Not right now. I'm OK.
- No, no.

- I'd love to hear one of your songs.
- I would, too. Go on.

- I don't think so.
- Please.

Hey, guys.
Jon, he writes his own music.

- He's gonna play some for us.
- I...

- Come on.
- Clara.

Share your music with us, Jon.

- Erm...
- Play something!

OK.

I haven't warmed up my hands.

Erm... OK. Erm... er...

That's just... That's a warm-up. Erm...

I've got one.
I've got one that's like...

♪ I was walking down the street one day

♪ Thinking about the lady I love

♪ When a guy comes down
and says, "What do you do?" ♪

That's... I haven't finished..

That's sh*t.

I've got a kind of a rocky one.

♪ La... La...

♪ Lady in the red coat,
what are you doing with that bag? ♪

I've only...

f*ck. You know when you've got
so many songs

and none of them will come out?

Oh, no, I've got one. I've got one.
There's one which is like...

That's yours.

Don.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, man.

- How are you feeling?
- Better.

He's gonna need a chiropractor.

You bummed out?

- A little bit.
- Why?

I don't think I've ever been able
to find my...

...core song-writing themes.
You know?

You can write a song about anything.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Hey! Like your socks here.

They're pretty original.

Hey, look at this.

This little tuft in the carpet.

I wonder how old he is in carpet years.

Is it spring
and he's the first to wake, or...

...is he old...
but still strong enough...

...to keep what winter wants to take?

♪ Lone standing tuft

♪ Defies the foot

♪ Is it luck that you're still standing?

♪ You've not been flattened too

♪ Do you tremble
beneath the gentle breeze

♪ That's displaced by my shoe?

♪ Lone standing tuft ♪

- Silly.
- Frank, that's amazing.

Flattered grin,
followed by a bashful half-smile.

No. People should know about you.
You should be famous.

You understand.

I understand what?

Understand there are people
out there that might like our music.

Sometimes I think Clara doesn't care
if people like us or not.

- Really?
- It's weird.

It's really weird.

- What is this?
- Potato.

And what is this?

Stew.

You should go home.

Frank picked me. OK?
So it's not up to you.

- Excuse me?
- He said I was cherishable.

And he picked me to join the band.

You are fingers
being told which keys to push.

- I push my own keys.
- Ten little bits of bone and skin.

I'm perfectly capable of going
to my furthest corners and composing.

- Your furthest corners?
- My furthest corners.

Someone needs to punch you in the face.

Lips pursed together
as if to say, "Enough frivolity."

Today we begin
work on the album in earnest.

'Frank wants us to start everything
from scratch.'

Note the colour-coding.

'He's created
an entirely new musical notation system.'

'..like creamy little galaxies.'

'We've designed
our own instruments.'

'He has initiated a strict regime
of physical exercise.'

Oh, for f*ck's sake!

'Fortunately, we have a safe word
for when things get too intense.'

Chinchilla!

'Chinchilla.'

Chinchilla! Chinchilla!

'It's incredible.
Frank finds inspiration in everything.'

I find this inspiring.

'How does he do this?

'If I'm to grow as an artist,
I must see as he sees.'

We could make an album
out of this one sound.

'I dedicate myself
to learning his secret

'and I will not let anybody get in my way,
however desperately they may try.'

Somebody's thinking
in the key of C.

Oh, it's me! It's me!

Oh, f*ck! Chinchilla!

Keep going! Keep going!

'I am more convinced than ever
that this band,

'whether they realise it or not,
could achieve greatness.

'And I will work to take my place
at its very heart.

'I will show them what I am capable of.

'I will show them.'

- Hey.
- Psst. Hey, man, what are you doing?

- I'm composing a song.
- Right.

♪ Ooh, ah-ooh ♪

- Yeah, man. I know.
- What?

I know what it feels like to try and
write a song and it just comes out sh*t.

Here, let me hop in the saddle.

Here's a little love song I wrote
a long, long, long time ago.

♪ The stillness of the winter night

♪ The frozen water's icy skin

♪ Is broken by the boatman's oar

♪ Be still and let me in

♪ Oh, let me in

♪ But stay still ♪

There, see? sh*t, too.

But look, Jon, sooner or later
you're gonna get the feeling,

"Why can't I be Frank?"

Or "Maybe I can be Frank."

Jon, there can only be one Frank. One.

Actually, Don,
I think both our songs were excellent.

Yeah. Right?
Come on, let's go for a walk.

Yeah, I've known Frank
was special

since the moment I first saw him.

This nurse was trying
to wrestle his head off.

I mean, the guy must have weighed
300 pounds.

Frank was freaking out so hard
he just backed off.

- A mental hospital?
- Hmm.

Have you ever seen him
without the head?

God, no.

Maybe he's facially d*sfigured.

Forced to wear a mask
Iike the Elephant Man.

Hmm. AII I know is that
he told me once he was from Kansas.

- Bluff, Kansas.
- Bluff, Kansas. Sounds dark.

Jacuzzi?

No. Get back to work.

Miserable childhood. Mental illness.

Where do I find
that kind of inspiration?

'Congratulations.
You've made the first step

'towards releasing your creativity

'in a way that will change
every aspect of your life.

'Take everyday activities like shaving.

'As Edward de Bono once said,

'how often does someone,
using a traditional wet razor,

'stop to consider whether
instead of moving the razor,

'it might be easier to keep the razor
still and simply move the face?'

What is that?

I think it's called The Idiot Shriek.

It's beautiful.

- Such pain.
- Hey.

- Such emptiness.
- Hey!

Someone's at the door.

What?

Easy, Don.

Start again. From the beginning.

Patient smile.

Stop saying your facial expressions.
It's extremely annoying.

- Sorry.
- We've run out of time.

We've spent all of our rent money

and the landlord gave us
30 days' notice to leave.

And we didn't leave.

So now they've rented Vetno
to a family of holidaymakers...

...who are right over there.

- Why didn't you tell us?
- I didn't wanna disappoint you.

We haven't recorded a note.

- I know.
- I can pay.

What?

When my grandfather d*ed,
I inherited money.

He said it was my nest egg.

He said I should only ever spend my nest
egg on something really important.

I want you guys to have my nest egg.

- Oh, Jon.
- Thank you.

Oh, ginger bird.

It'II buy us enough time
to make the album.

What are you doing in our holiday home?

What are you saying to each other?

sh*t. What do we do about them?

I'm terribly sorry to inconvenience you.

Come. Let us walk together outside.

Bye. Thank you.

Thank you for this new truth in my soul.

f*cking crazy lady.

'It's been a long time
since I've written anything.

'We've been working on the new music
for 14 hours a day for...

'...1 1 months now.

'It has not been easy.'

Again.

'None of us has left Vetno
since we got here.'

Again.

'Frank refuses to record the album

'until we have perfected
each and every detail.

'He can be pitiless.'
Again!

Merge!

'My nest egg has been depleted
a lot more than I anticipated.

'We've had to start rationing the food.'

f*ck off.

'And on top of all this,
Clara's hatred of me...'

Thief!

'...remains as strong
and as baffling as ever.'

- I want it back.
- Those are my keyboard-playing fingers.

'I'II admit there have been times
when I've considered leaving Vetno.

'But I'm still here.

'And I am glad
when I see how many of you

'continue to join me on this journey.

'You know, despite all the hardships
I've suffered here...'

Just took a sh*t.

'...something inside me
is beginning to stir.

'I've come to realise
that this is my Bluff, Kansas.

'That here in Vetno I have found
my abusive childhood.

'My mental hospital.

'That which pushes me...'

Oh, God.

'...to my furthest corners.'

This is really good.

Frank. Frank, I've...

Get right in there.

Dog-Ieg left,
527 yards to the centre of the green.

Nobody hits a ball like that.

Get in the hole!

You're the man.

Oh! Oh.

I've written a song.

And goes up.

Yeah.

- Amazing.
- Really?

- Yeah.
- You really think so?

That means the world to me.
Thank you so much.

- Do you mind?
- Please.

OK, so...

Pare that down.

Now go up a half.

Go up a whole.

- Hmm.
- Now go back down.

Oh, I see, yeah.

That's fantastic.

Uh-huh.

- That's excellent.
- Here.

Uh-huh.

- Right?
- Right.

- What were you playing before?
- That was like an F.

You play F there, that'd be sh*t.

Yeah. Let's make that stomp a bit more.

Don?

We're done.

Frank.

- Get the rope off!
- I don't know how!

Bye, Don.

You were the best keyboard player
we ever had.

The best man I ever knew.

Don used to be the keyboard player?

First it was Don, then it was Lucas.

Now it's you.

Jon,
what the f*ck are you doing?

'It's what Don would want.'

So you've been posting videos
of us online?

That's not the point.

Because of those clips, we've been
offered a really f*cking important gig.

You've been spying on us.

South by Southwest.

In Texas. It's very prestigious.
They've got a New Discoveries strand.

That's ridiculous. Come on, Frank.
Let's get you cleaned up.

Why does it say 2-3-7-5-1
at the bottom?

That's the number of people
who've watched the clip.

2-3-7-5-1 people are interested in us?

Come on, Frank.

- It's like magic.
- I told you we could be big.

Can't see anything
in this f*cking... f*cking place.

What game are you playing?

Filling Frank's head
with these bullshit ideas.

I can't hear you over the sound
of the bubbles.

f*ck! How the f*ck...

You pressed full-bubble-strength.

They're on a timer.
You've just restarted.

Leave Frank alone.

I know you want me
to end up like Don or Lucas,

but that's not gonna be my role...

You are a mediocre child.

- Excuse me?
- An infection.

- You keep him locked up like...
- Bindweed, chickweed...

- You're like Josef...
- Absence. Absence.

What's his f*cking name?
Josef Fritzl!

- Middle management!
- c**t!

Oh, f*cking hell! Oh, f*cking hell!

Oh, God! Ow! Ow!

Ow! Oh, f*ck!

I'm f*cking dying...

This is gonna be awkward.

What is?

Us. You know... together.

We will never be together.

- Oh.
- I find you...

...disgusting.

Hmm.

- Disgusting.
- Yeah, OK. I get the point.

Clara...

What does he look like?

I don't know.

Was it awful in the mental hospital,
Clara?

- How should I know?
- I assumed you were mentally ill.

- You did?
- Hm-hmm.

Oh.

So why are you so against us
finding an audience

if it's not because you're mentally ill?

You're in love with Frank.

You love him and you're scared that if
other people love him, you'II lose him.

And one day I'II take off my glasses
and he'II really see me...

...and we'II do big kisses.
That's really how you think?

Don't presume to tell me how I think.

If you f*ck everything up in America,
I'II s*ab you.

It's just like Paris, Texas, isn't it?

It's definitely...

- What are you looking for?
- Don.

Hey, Don.

Hey, partner.

I remember you saying
that the desert here

was your favourite place
in the whole world.

After Sea World, San Diego.

I know you were homesick, Don.

And I know there were times
when you wanted to come back here,

but you didn't because of me.

Well, you're home now, Don.

I promise those sacrifices you made
won't be in vain.

Jon has foretold of a night,
some nights from now,

when, thanks to his secret camera,

Iegions and multitudes
of already adoring fans

shall gather and they shall receive
our music in rapture.

It's Grownut.

Frank, it's Grownut.

sh*t, sh*t...

- I took the wrong box.
- Alright, Don.

- Let's feed the desert with you anyway.
- Oh, Don.

f*cking Grownut!

- Looking good.
- Don't touch me.

- Awesome costumes, guys.
- Thank you. Thank you.

We're playing the Sunshine.
Day after tomorrow.

Frank.

Hello.

Something tells me
that you guys are the Soronprfbs.

- That's us.
- You're Jon?

Yes. Hi.

So, here are the festival passes
and an information pack.

And did Simone pronounce
your name right?

- Jon.
- No, the band's name.

Oh, actually, I don't know.

Clara, how do we
pronounce the band's name?

- Ask him.
- Listen, are you guys hungry?

Er, yeah.

We were gonna go get something to eat.
It's the best pancake house in town.


There's open mike.
It's gonna be awesome.

Awesome. Awesome.

♪ I sit in Tracy's bedroom

♪ In my knee-socks
and Chelsea's beanie

♪ Talking boyfriends,

You guys have been
in the forest, so long

all this craziness has to be
kind of overwhelming.

No, we're cool with that.

I'm delighted to be launching
our album here. Delighted look.

This is a most unique and exciting
opportunity you've given us

to finally play in front of people
who actually know and love us.

You know? Until now, our audiences
tend to be people who chance upon us

and realise after a few minutes
they don't like us.

Frank!

I gotta tell you, we know who you are.

We found you,
but the audience won't have heard of you.

They do not know and love us.

But more than 23,700 people
watched us on YouTube.

23,000 hits on YouTube is nothing.

- They do not know us.
- Yeah, those kind of views...

Maybe one or two people in the room
will know you. Maybe nobody.

Half a million
is when you're onto something big.

- We f*cked it up.
- But they're cool, right?

- I mean, they'II like us.
- They'II love you.

Jon? Jon?

'Recent revelations have raised
serious questions in the band

'about the reception we can
Iook forward to at New Discoveries.'

Lick my ass!

'A hastily arranged warm-up gig
earlier this evening...'

That was sh*t.

'...did nothing to steady the ship.

'Luckily, I am no longer the man
I was a year ago.

'Now, in crisis,
I see creative possibility.

'Turns out I may be closer to the Zeitgeist

'than certain people gave me credit for.

'I'm ready to make my mark on this band.'

So you want us
to change our sound?

We've always demanded

the audience stretch their corners
all the way out to meet ours.

But what if, Frank...

What if we pull our corners back
a little bit?

No, just a tiny, tiny bit.
And then everyone's corners can meet,

you know, in a place
that's still a really long way off.

But it's just a bit less...

You know?
And a bit more likable.

- But not in a bad way.
- I'm not playing the f*cking ukulele.

Frank.

I'm writing
my most likable song ever.

I've always dreamed

that one day I'd have a band member
who shared my vision

of creating extremely likable music.

So thank you, Jon.
You gave me the little push I needed.

OK, enough chatter. Here it is.

My most likable song ever.

♪ Coca Cola lipstick Ringo
Dance all night, dance all night

♪ I've got dancing legs
I've got dancing legs

♪ They won't stop me dancing, no
They won't stop me dancing

♪ Kiss me, just kiss me

♪ Kiss me, Nefertiti
Just the way you like it

♪ Just the way you like it
Kiss me, kiss me

♪ Lipstick kiss me, lipstick Ringo
That's the way you like it ♪

- This is your most likable song ever?
- Yeah.

- People will love it.
- Actually, actually, Frank,...

...I think that we could push
the likability even further.

No way.

You're sh1tting me. How?

Can I just...?

Erm... Where did you start?

But what if, I don't know,
we regulate it a bit more?

I love it. I love it.

And then if you played an F down here,
that would be good, wouldn't it?

You should be famous.
That's so likable.

Jon fixed it.

I'm officially here. Check me.

Hello. Sorry.

We're igniting the light
and letting it shine.

Hi. Can I get a quick word with you?

We were in the forest like
secret squirrels. Now we're likable.

We're so...

It's gonna be huge.
Jon fixed everything.

You've gotta see us tomorrow night.
I promise nothing bad will happen to you.

- Let's go take a walk.
- I'm incredibly happy to be here.

I'm fine. I'm relaxed.

Forgive me for my problems formerly.
People were liking it. The weight.

I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm totally relaxed.
I'm fine. I'm perfectly fine.

- Frank's not OK.
- What are you talking about?

I need your help
to get him out of here.

He said he's perfectly fine and relaxed.

I need your help to get him out of here.

He looks happy to me.

- Whereas you seem...
- I seem what?

Not in control.

Frank?

Have you seen a man
wearing a fake head? No?

Sorry, have you seen a man
wearing a fake head?

A very big head?
He and a lady went around the corner.

Frank. Frank! Frank!

Frank?

- Can you feel my breath?
- Frank.

What the f*ck are you doing?

Breathe, breathe. It's OK.

Do you want to come back
to the hotel, Frank?

It's warm there.

Don't listen to her.
She's the one who's nuts. Not you.

Tomorrow night
is everything we've worked for.

- They're ready to love us.
- Can you feel my breath?

They're ready to love you, Frank.

Don't throw that away.

Frank, stay with me.

Thank God.

Come on.

I'm sorry.

Are you a little sad?

Yes, Jon, I'm a little bit sad.

Oh, no. Chinchilla! Chin...

- f*ck!
- Frank, he's f*cking crazy.

She's stabbed me in the f*cking leg!

Get off me!

Frank! Who are you?

'Clara Wagner,
our very own Syd Barrett,

'was arrested today and charged
with as*ault after stabbing me in the leg.

'See link.

'We will all miss Clara

'and sincerely hope

'our own crazy diamond

'will also shine on.'

Nana, open up. Baraque!

Is he here?

How is he?

He's sleeping.

He's dead?

Asleep.

He's sick.

No, no, he's...

He's just tired.
He'II be alright for tonight.

Not Frank. You.

Sorry?

I've known this since the first time
I saw him on that beach.

He would have drowned Lucas
to take his place in the band.

No, I wouldn't have.

Because when he looks inside himself,
he can't find anything there.

Yes, I can.

So his only hope
is to live off your talent like a tick.

- Sorry?
- Which is why he got rid of Clara.

- Clara chose to s*ab me.
- We're not playing without Clara.

What? We've got the biggest gig
of our lives in three hours.

The stabbing could not have come
at a better time, Frank.

Everyone at South by Southwest...

Baraque and I have packed.
We're leaving.

No, you can't leave.
We've had 767, 328 hits.

Frank, say something.

- 767,91 8. They're all watching.
- Frank.

- So many people.
- See?

- So many people.
- Don't...

Good luck playing tonight
without a band.

I've got one word for you.

Unplugged! Me on guitar, you on vocals.

Delegates really like it
when bands go unplugged. Special thing.

- How's your leg?
- It'II be OK.

We set everything up.
Sure you wanna go ahead?

Absolutely.

Igniting the light
and letting it shine.

- Frank, are you OK?
- Uh-huh.

- If I was you guys I'd be so nervous.
- Oh, goes with the territory.

Yeah, but, I mean, playing without
your band after what just happened...

sh*t, man, I would be nervous.

It's not like we don't know the songs
or anything.

With that many people,
I would be sh1tting myself.

- Would you please shut your mouth?
- I'm just saying...

- Where are you going?
- Do my ablutions.

That's not the toilet.

Just be as quick as you can.

- 30 seconds.
- Frank?

- Frank?
- Let's f*ck!

Just wait here for a few seconds, OK?

Hello.

Prepare for rapture!

Yeah!

Hello, South by Southwest!

It's been a crazy 24 hours,
but we're still here,

and we're still the Soronprfbs!

Unplugged.

Chinchilla!

Chinchilla!

- Yeah!
- OK. Here's a little song I wrote.

I hope you like it.
This is the best day of my life.

♪ La la la-Ia la

Come on, Frank!

♪ La la la-Ia la ♪

f*ck! f*ck!

Frank. Frank.

Frank!

What is it, Frank?
Frank, come on. What is it?

The music's sh*t.

The music is sh*t.

'...Cleveland, Ohio band,
The Gentile Youth,

'had all of Austin talking last night

'when they played a barnstorming set
at South by Southwest.'

Aren't we supposed to be playing
at South by Southwest?

Frank...

I know you weren't happy
with the music.

So let's work on it together.

Why not?

You're not Clara.

The motel owner says if we haven't paid
in full by the end of the week,

they're throwing us out.

- f*ck's sake!
- Oh, jeepers.

- f*ck.
- It's alright. I'm sorry.

Just leave it. Oh, you stink!

I made it. Now, will you use it?

Take it off.

The head.

Maybe you should take it off.

In cognitive behavioural therapy,
they say... face your fears.

They say, take the head off.
So let's do it.

- Let's take the f*cking head off.
- I have a certificate.

I know you have a certificate.

I know you've got
a m*therf*cking certificate!

Just take it off!

Take it off! f*cking hell!

Frank, I'm sorry! I...

Frank! Frank! No!

Frank! I'm sorry. Come back!

- Where did he go?
- That way.

- Is he injured?
- He was limping.

Did you see his face?

'Yeah, hello.
You wanna report a missing person?'

- Yes.
- 'Name?'

- Frank.
- 'Frank what?'

Just Frank.

'Age?'

Somewhere between 30 and...

...50.

'And what does this person look like?'

Driving me crazy,
but I know who you are.

- Hmm?
- You're the Chinchilla guy, right?

- Hm-hmm.
- Awesome.

And there's the dude with the big head
and the crazy chick. Clara, right?

Dude, you guys are, like, total myths.

I mean, there's f*cking footage of you
everywhere online.

Chinchilla guy!

- Chinchilla guy.
- Chinchilla guy!

See? I mean, all the footage.

You're all totally erratic and sh*t,
nervous breakdowns.

Chinchilla!
People rolling around on the floor.

I mean, just wayward stuff, man.

And now it's all like, "What happened
to Frank? It's like he just vanished."

- I mean, f*cking hilarious.
- I don't think it's hilarious.

Really? I thought it was
supposed to be hilarious.

It's...

But, I mean, Clara and Frank, man.
Come on, they're, like... total freaks.

How did you find us?

I saw...

Everything you said was true, Nana.

I ruined everything.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

Frank ran away.

I don't know if...

I was hoping you might know where he is.

Ain't nobody here wears no fake head.

OK.

Bluff, Kansas.

Be careful.

Hi.

Frank?

Frank, I'm so ashamed.

I should never have tried
to pull your head off. I don't know...

I'm the tree surgeon. I'm just...
I'm just here to look at the tree.

Can I help you?

I've been very worried about you.

I just wanted to find you to...

...make sure you're OK.

How are things without the head?

He had such a beautiful face.
Lovely skin.

The head was my fault.
I made him his first one.

He was 14,
said it was for a costume party.

I did it even though I knew
there wasn't any costume party.

Turns out the worst thing to do
with something like that is to pander to it.

Who knew?

What happened to Frank?

Something must have happened to him
to make him like that.

Nothing happened to him.
He's got a mental illness.

The torment he went through...
to make the great music.

The torment didn't make the music.
He was always musical.

If anything, it slowed him down.

It was a good home.

It's just like my home.

I have to go now, Frank.

- You alright?
- Yeah.

I know I ruined everything.

I'm sorry.

- It's good you're still playing.
- I'm not.

I tried, but...

...it doesn't come out good.
