Post by bunniefuu »

Hey, Murray.

Nice shorts.

Okay, guys, time for the interesting buildings tour.

This week it's band rotundas.

Ugh.

It should be called the "boring buildings tour.

"
- Why?
- Because it's boring.

It's not boring.

There's a real buzz about it.


- Everyone's talking about these tours.


- Who's talking about it? Bret, you were talking about it last week.


- I was saying it's boring.


- Oh, were you? Well, you were still talking about it.

Murray, I can't go this week.

I'm going on a date.


- What? A date?
- A date with a girl from work.


- What are you gonna do?
- I think we're gonna watch a DVD.

Bret, I've had this organized for ages.

You knew about that.

I was gonna tell you the difference between, you know, gazebos and band shells.

Yeah, Bret, you've got to come.

Why don't we just postpone the tour, just go next week? It's not as easy as that! I've got the schedule.

Look, it's all time
-tabled.

I made those for you.

"Friday, 4:05 P.

M: Bret, Jemaine and Murray leave Dave's shop.

" Well, I guess I'll just have to go with you, Jemaine.

Just the two of us.

Ah.

Except I just remembered that I also can't go.

Why? I suppose you've got a date as well, have you?
- Yeah.


- Oh yeah?
- Where'd you meet her?
- At at the library.

Library? What library?
- Video library.


- Ha
-ha
-ha! Video library.

No such thing.

Gotcha.

No, that's fine.

I'll go on my own.

That's fine.

Enjoy your date, Bret, and your pretend date, Jemaine.

All right? The video library that's fine.

I won't say goodbye, I don't feel like it.

See you, Murray.


- Bye, Murray.


- Bye.

You gonna say "bye"? No! The carrots were really nice.

And the broccoli was really nice as well.

Yeah.

It did turn out really nice.

Yeah, really nice.

It was really nice.

Yeah, it was really nice.

Like your eyes I could look at them for ages.

The eggs were really nice like your lips.

So your lips look delicious like as delicious as the eggs.

Probably more delicious.

Do do you want to kiss me? Oh yes, please.

Are we gonna watch a DVD or what? I think it might be a bit late for a DVD, man.

No, it's okay.

We just have to keep the volume down because my roommate is sleeping.

No, well, we should probably get home.

It's pretty late.

Well, maybe I'll stay a little bit longer.


- Yeah, sure.


- Yeah.

Do you wanna you could stay over if if you want? No, I don't want to stay over.

No, we should get going.

I don't know why don't I stay and you go? No, it's okay, I don't mind.

I'll stay here.

Whatever you want.

Hey, Jemaine, I've written this love song for Coco.


- Oh yeah?
- Would you be able to have a listen?
- Give me a bit of feedback?
- Yeah.

It's good, it's good.

- Would you actually do that?
- Probably not.

Well, you're sort of promising that you would.


- That's a metaphor.


- Oh, is it? Oh okay.


- Yeah.


- What's it a metaphor for? For that I'd do anything for her.

Would you climb the highest mountain for her? Oh God.

I see.

No.

Pass me that? No, I wouldn't do a lot of this stuff.

Would you swallow a whole sword? A sword okay, I probably wouldn't do that one either.

That's really

That's a lyric of mine.

- Oh, were we? Oh, great.

Kiss her, Bret.

Kiss her.

Hey Bret, I've been thinking about these dates.


- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

Yeah, actually, I was gonna say I was thinking that maybe I've been thinking, you know, they're a bit
- they're a bit girlie.


- Well, Coco's a girl.

Yeah, but I'm not, though.

It's not just you and her going on these dates, I'm there too.

So what about thinking about something I might like to do, like paintball? We could watch a kickboxing championship.


- Um, yeah.


- You know, that sort of thing.


- Maybe
- Or we could go to a strip bar? She doesn't like she doesn't want to go to a strip bar again.


- I was actually wondering
- We could go to just a topless bar.

There's just topless bars as well.

But I was thinking maybe her and I like Or she doesn't always have to come as well.

That's another option.

Me and you could go on one of these date oh, that'd be weird.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe just her and I would go on a date without you.

Maybe.


- Why?
- Oh no, don't worry about it.


- No, come on.

You brought it up, so
- Well just 'cause I never get to hang out with just her.

You hang out with her all the time.


- Yeah, but you're always there.


- Oh, so are you.

You're always there.

I always see you there.

Yeah, I'm always there, but she's my girlfriend.

Yes.

Good point.

Yes, good point.

And, uh Coco said that the other night when I went to the bathroom that she felt like you
- like made a move on her.


- Yep.

Yep, guilty, I did.

But you weren't doing anything, so I thought Yeah, but that's 'cause you were there.


- Ah! Of course I was there.


- You can't do that.

You're definitely not coming on my next date.

Okay.

Well, that's fine.

That's all you needed to say.

Okay.


- Good night.


- Good night.

Look at that.

Classic Robert Moses design.

See the band shell, Jemaine? Where's your fact sheet? You should be checking this out.

I don't know, I left it at home.

"Julius Caesar" was done here in 1957.


- Really?
- Joseph Papp's.


- Oh.


- Amazing.


- Amazing.


- You think this is good? You missed some of the best band shells and some awesome rotundas when you were on all those dates.

Where's your date tonight? Uh, Bret asked me not to come on his dates anymore.


- What? You were going on their dates?
- I know.

Yeah.

You don't go on other people's dates.

I thought you had your own date.

No, I was dating them.

You don't do that.


- That's crazy.


- It's not crazy.

Are you okay? Are your feelings hurt? No.


- They must be.

Are they?
- No.


- A little bit?
- No.

A little bit, eh?
- A little bit.


- Yeah, a little bit.

I knew it.

Bret shouldn't have a girlfriend.

I told him.


- Did he listen?
- No.

No.

He doesn't listen.

I just hope we don't have a Yoko Ono situation.


- Do you know what I mean?
- Yeah.

Is she trying to split up the band? She hasn't mentioned anything.

I don't think so she's nice.


- Is she an artist?
- Don't know.

Does she like, you know, staying in bed a lot? I haven't really noticed.

What about peace? Is she into peace? I don't know.

Look into that.

Now, Stuart Vaughan was the director here.

Imagine that! "Julius Caesar" in 1957.

I mean, the whole place would have been full.

Come down and touch it, Jemaine! Hey, Bret, is, um is Coco into art? Yeah.

Why?
- Uh, no reason.


- Mmm.

♪ Black
-haired lady queen ♪ ♪ Dabbling in art ♪ ♪ I won't let the she
-wolf ♪ ♪ Tear us apart, because I ♪
- What's that song?
- Nothing, just a new song called "She
-wolf.

" ♪ Cold
-hearted bitch ♪ ♪ Diggin' a ditch ♪ All I'm saying, Bret, is it could bring unnecessary tension to the band's dynamic.

Like this pencil Iook.

Jeez, that is a That's it that's your band.

Broken.

It happens to all the best bands.

All right? Girlfriends and music just don't mix very well.

Jemaine's nodding in approval.

By the way, how is Coco?
- She's great.

We're really in love.


- Yeah?
- It's yeah, it's awesome.


- She seems really nice.


- Yeah, she's amazing.


- Yeah.

Hold onto her.

Okay? It's a rare thing, what you've got there.


- Hi, I'm not disturbing you guys, am I?
- Hey, Coco.


- No, come in.


- We're busy at the moment actually.

Oh, okay.

I just popped in to bring you some lunch.


- Oh good.


- Favoritism.


- Here's yours, Jemaine.


- Thank you.

You're welcome.

Murray.


- Thank you.


- You're welcome.


- Bret.


- Thanks, Coco.

You didn't need to do that.

That's great.

While I'm here, I thought I would show you this.

Um, I had some spare time last night, and I thought it might be useful.

Whoa, that's awesome.


- Well, it's really arty.


- It's cool.

We've already got a poster that I did.

Oh, okay.

Oh, that's that's all right.

That's cool.

That's great, it's it's better.

Um, I just thought that's no problem.

Um, well, I should let you guys I should go, let you guys get on with it.


- No you should stay, you should stay.


- Oh no no no
- Yeah yeah.


- I should go.


- You should stay.


- I insist.

Look, take a seat.

You've brought us lunch.

All right, we'll only be five minutes, all right?
- At least.


- Yeah, sit down, sit down.

Okay okay okay.

Okay.

Right, "slight delay.

" And also present, Coco.

Yoko.

What did you what did you say? Oh nothing, just had a bit of a cough.

Mmm, okay.

No, it wasn't a real cough.

I said "Yoko.

"
- Yeah, I thought so.


- Oh, I should go.

Why did you say that? 'Cause she's nothing like Yoko.

Oh
-no, she isn't.

Jemaine, you're putting "oh no" together to sound like "Ono.

"
- Oh
-no, I didn't.


- You did it again.


- Oh
-no, did I?
- Did you pick that up?
- He's doing it.


- All right, I'm gonna go.

Yeah.

I'll throw this sandwich in your face if you say that again.

Bret, don't you dare.

Not in my office.

Coco, sit down.

Let's resolve this.

Jemaine, what's the problem? Well, Yoko's trying to split up the band.


- Bret?
- Jemaine's upset because I asked him not to come on our dates and he's misinterpreting his feelings about being left out of the friendship
- as being about the band.


- Oh, as if.

It's the one I said about Yoko trying to split up the band.

Sorry, guys, I just realized I'm late for work.

Um, it was really cool seeing you.

What are you working on? Splitting up another band?
- Oh! Here!
- A sandwich hit my face.

Yeah, well, I said I'd throw a sandwich at your face.

I've never seen such bad behavior at one of my meetings!
- Don't be such a a dickhead.


- Yeah well, I'm quitting this band.


- Yeah.


- Well, you quit last week.


- Yeah well, I'm quitting again.


- Don't be a quitter! You can't!
- Yeah, you quitter.


- Right, well, go on then.

You've never been interested in bands anyway, Bret.

You only came to one of the band rotunda tours.

Yeah, I'll see you later, dickheads.

You're the dickhead, Bret! Sorry, everyone.

It was a visa application denied.

It took a long time to try and get resolved.

I think the guy's a criminal.

Sorry.

Just carry on.

It's looking good.

Good riddance, eh, Jemaine? I've got tomato on my sleeve.

See? I told you.

Girlfriends and bands just don't mix, Jemaine.

You'll never have a girlfriend, will you? No.

All right, let's just move on.

Item two: Band uniforms.

I want all the band to wear the same unif oh, that's Do you miss Bret? A little bit.

Do you? Same.

I miss him.

Can you ask him back in the band? Okay.

Bret? Bret? Dear Jemaine, by the time you read this, I will be far far away at Coco's house and I will no longer be residing and that is just one of the reasons why I'm moving out.

You didn't seem to understand that And the most important thing for me to say is that Do you remember the time that seagull Yours sincerely, Bret.
