- [Luke] Hey, Drew.

I have some time for you.

- Mm-hmm.

- [Luke] I am so

sorry about that.

- Oh, it's-

- That call went way long.

- It's no problem, Luke.

- How's it going?

Hey, how's your music going?

- It's...going-it's going,

it's going. Yeah.

We're uh, kind of on a

break right now,

Michael, he's the main guy,

he's writing some new music,

and then we should be...

back at it.

- That is so nice.

- Yeah...

- So, what did you

wanna talk about?

- Well,

I believe my performance

has been... not great, recently.

- Mm.

- I haven't been engaged in the

work, I think is what it is.

- I see.

- Yeah, I just don't... like it.

Spreadsheets, that is, numbers.

Yeah.

- Hmm.

Well... you are in

data analysis.

- I realize that, I

realize that.

but I just thought

there'd be more to it,

more the analysis part.

- Yeah.

- The computers do all

the analysis for you now,

it's really just... data.

- So how do you wanna

handle this?

I mean,

how can I help?

- Oh, well,

I guess I was curious if

there were another position

within the company

that maybe I could...

- [sighs] Huh.

And you're sure?

- Yeah, pretty sure.

I mean,

if I have to input one more

number into a little box, I'm

gonna...

have some kind

of physical reaction.

- Well, um...

we have something in

human resources.

- HR?

Betty's leaving?

- Oh no, no, we're expanding,

and Betty feels like she

can use a little extra help.

- Okay.

You know, [chuckles]

okay, good, I like-I like Betty.

Y'know, I probably should be

talking to Betty about this,

actually.

it's an HR issue.

Sir, I-um-uh...sorry for

imposing on your time,

you're a very busy guy, so...

Well,

Wh-what is the

position in HR, actually?

- Well, it would be to

be Betty's assistant.

- Oh, Betty's assistant.

Am I qualified for that?

- Not really, but...

seeing as how you're

already a part

of the family around here

you know how things run,

we could at least consider you.

- You'd just throw me in there?

- Mmhmm.

- If you were really

serious about it.

- Oh I'm-I'm...

I'm sure I-I-Well, I don't know

all the information about it

yet,

so I can't say if I'm

interested for sure.

- That's the official

listing we have out,

it's actually a small

step down in pay,

from what you're

currently making.

There would still be a

lot of numbers,

but, more interaction with

other people as well.

- Huh...um...

- Yeah, I dunno, I

mean...step down in pay?

I might as well keep

the position I have now.

- Drew.

Why don't you come back

and have this conversation

after you've given it a

few days thought?

In the meantime, just...

do your best to

keep your performance up.

- So it is slipping.

- I really need to get on a

conference

call with Betty right now.

- Are you replacing me?

I saw her interviewing people.

- [Luke] For the HR posi-

- There's a guy that looked

exactly like me,

it was uncanny.

- Drew...

we're not replacing you.

- Okay good. Good...

[Exhales]

I'd like to put my two weeks.

- I'm not sure I understand.

- I quit.

- Drew, this is the busiest

time of the year for us-

- Oh! This is one of the most

important times of my life.

This is my 20's.

I should be out there having

experiences and...

traveling, meeting new people.

Y'know? Focusing on...

my sex life.

- Y'know what? Why don't you...

take the night

to sleep on it, and-

- [Drew] I don't need to sleep.

- Think about this, it's

a big decision.

- Eh...

[Mumbles]

- [Drew] Pretty sure, uh,

I'm positive.

- Yeah, put in your two weeks,

and submit it to Betty.

- Oh, okay, yeah,

submit it to-Betty.

I-I-I don't wanna-

leave on bad terms.

I dunno, I don't want

this to be...

bad between us.

Are-are you-?

Are you upset?

[Jazz piano music]

- See ya.

Luke? it's been a pleasure.

[Jazz piano music]

Future's looking bright

I'm finally out on my own

[Guitar plucking]

I bought back my own time

To let go of my heavy load

[Guitar plucking]

People all stare

As I walk down the street

[Guitar strumming]

It's Monday afternoon

And I'm feeling free

I wake in the morning

To that screeching alarm

[Guitar plucking]

There's no rooster

Calling for me at my farm

[Guitar plucking]

I got hours and hours

And I do nothing but sleep

[Guitar plucking]

It's Wednesday afternoon

And I got nowhere to be

[Guitar solo]

[Guitar solo]

[Guitar solo]

I don't have that train

Heading on down to downtown

[Guitar plucking]

I don't have that Lyft

That goes so far above town

[Guitar plucking]

I stay in my home

And I don't leave

[Guitar plucking]

It's Friday afternoon

And I'm feeling free...!

[Whistling]

- What's all that?

- It's my stuff from work.

- [Rajat] Cool, you gonna

be working from home or

something, what...?

- No. Today was my last day.

- What was that?

- I quit.

- [Rajat] Huh?

You didn't tell me that.

- Yes I did, I've been

telling you that.

- [Rajat] I don't think so...

- I'm sick of being cooped

inside all day?

Like a caged animal?

Like a monkey pressing buttons?

- I thought you-heh, I thought

you liked your job.

- What? No!

What?

I hate my job.

- Oh...

- [Drew] They don't treat me

like a human there.

- Oh.

- My boss, my last day?

I was there nearly five years,

my boss didn't even

say bye to me.

- You're joking.

- [Drew] Not joking,

unfortunately.

- That sucks.

- Yeah. Yeah, this is

why people hate America.

- [Rajat] Yeah, totally...

- [Drew] This is uh... what

everybody's talking about.

- [Rajat] Yeah?

- Yeah, capitalism?

- [Rajat] Oh!

- I finally understand it.

- [Rajat] You understand it now?

- Yeah, corporate America,

they just churn you out.

Well d'you wanna-

you wanna write click bait now?

Now that you don't have a job?

It's what I do.

- No.

No I can't just go from

one job to another job,

that's-absurd.

- Oh, right...

- No.

I need some time,

time to myself.

- Right.

- [Drew] Yeah, it's just more

the same.

- Totally.

- I think it's, uh,

I think this is good for me.

I think I'm gonna go out

and live life,

live life to the fullest.

- [Rajat] Cool.

- Yeah.

But, that excites me, y'know?

- How's the band?

- [Drew] Band is good, yeah.

We're on a little bit

of a hiatus right now.

What's this? Can I have this?

- Almond croissant.

- Yeah, I'll have one of those.

- Great choice.

- Yummy.

- [Gavin] That is $4.75.

- $4.75?

- Yeah.

- And a bagel is $2.50?

- [Gavin] It is.

I can switch it out

for the bagel?

- No, no, I'll have that.

I'll have one of those.

- Okay...

good choice.

- Yeah.

Let's do the bagel, yeah.

your hopes up or anything.

is a sign.

I should be keeping on

the path I'm on.

Hey! Hey, where are

I'm at the bar with

some friends.

- [Laura] Yeah?

- Wh-where are you?

Where are you?

[Phone muttering]

- [Laura] I'm in the city. Uh,

I'm-

I'm in the West village.

- In the city?

- [Laura] Yeah.

- That's kind of far for me,

but...

What if next-next weekend...

you and me...

- [Laura] Uh-huh?

- [Drew] We go-we...

go on a little walk.

[Drew gasping]

- [Kim] He's up.

Tried to put you in your

bed last night,

but you insisted on

being on the couch.

- Yeah I like the couch.

- [Kim] Yeah.

We know, you were really

up in arms about it,

it was like a whole thing.

It's like I don't really care

where

you sleep that much, y'know?

- What's that?

- It's just...

It's a bowl of cereal.

Is that an issue with you?

I'm not allowed to eat

here 'cause I'm a visitor?

Am I in trouble now?

- Hey...!

Hi. What's happening?

- He's mad that I'm dirtying

the dishes, I guess.

"I'm so sorry!"

You wanna take th-?

Let me ask you this, I have

to go the bathroom, okay?

Can I go here? Or should I

go take a dump outside?

- [Drew] Na-I'm just hungry.

- [Kim] A f*cking rodent.

[Sigh]

[Door closes]

- [Drew] She go in the

bathroom with cereal?

- I just-I just wanted

you guys to get along,

kind of smooth things over?

Maybe?

- [Drew] God...

- [Rajat] How you doing?

- [Drew] I feel awful...

It feels like my organs are...

misplaced.

- [Rajat] Did you have a good

time,

at least, last night?

- [Drew] No, I didn't have a

good time at all.

- Yeah?

- Spent like a hundred dollars.

- [Rajat] Hundred do-?

Do you have-? I didn't know you

had,

what'd you spend $100?

- f*ck!

I think quitting so

abruptly was a mistake.

- [Rajat] Yeah maybe.

- I should've saved up

some kinda...

kind of payload.

- [Rajat] Payload, yeah.

- [Drew] Yeah, yeah I may've...

I may have financially

crippled myself last night.

And the job market right

now is brutal.

- [Rajat] Yeah, yeah-

- I read a headline that said

that.

[Beeping]

- Hi! Hey.

- Hey!

- Hug?

- Alright, heh heh.

- Long time no see.

- [Drew] Right?

- Yeah.

- It's been months.

- Months!

- [Drew] Yeah...

- Thanks for coming, meeting me.

- No problem, great block.

- Oh, thank you, yeah.

- Great block.

- Are you still with uh...?

- Rajat?

- Oh my God, so sweet, how's he?

- [Drew] He's good, yeah.

He's working for this uh...

working for this

click bait company right now,

but...

what're ya-are you still...?

- Oh, I am producing a

podcast for the magazine now.

- [Drew] Podcast, wow, okay,

incredible.

- Yeah!

- Yeah, no, it's great!

- Oh!

- Uh, do you want to maybe...?

- [Drew] Yeah, um...yeah!

Yeah, yeah. Is there-?

smoothie.

- Okay!

- Let's do it. Alright.

- You lead away-lead uh, lead

the way!

- [Giggles] Yeah.

- [Drew] Must be nice, living

next to a smoothie place.

- Yeah, I'm there all the time.

- Yeah, this is,

this is great.

Never out at midday.

- Heh. Right.

- Oh, what's your uh...

podcast about?

- Oh, women's life.

Dating, politics, fashion,

the workplace.

- Awesome. Yeah.

- Yeah.

- [Drew] I always knew you'd

make it in media.

- Thanks.

That was my major, yeah.

[Jazz piano music]

- [Drew] This is it.

[Jazz piano music]

- [Worker] Hi, how are you?

- Hi.

- Good.

- Could I get a

greenhouse smoothie?

- [Worker] "Ground Support?"

- Yeah, thanks.

- Umm...

I'll have the banana

tango mango.

- [Worker] You got it.

[Jazz piano music]

- Uh what's Rajat up to?

- He's working at that

click bait company.

- Oh right, you said that.

- I almost worked there,

but decided against it,

ultimately.

[Jazz piano music]

[Jazz piano music]

- Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- [Both] You too.

[Jazz piano music]

- So... how long have you

been in this, building?

- This one right now?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Uh just-not too long,

like a year maybe.

- Are you gonna

renew your lease?

- Probably! Yeah, I mean,

don't really have a

reason not to.

- Right. Great location, really

close to the smoothie place.

- No, they're so good, right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah...

[Jazz piano music]

Have you been to any

good-uh, shows recently?

- Shows?

- Like, concert, music.

- Uh n-no uh...?

No. No, not really.

I wasn't able to get out

of work on time.

- Yeah.

- Have you?

- No same thing, just

really busy with work.

- Podcast.

- Right, yeah, the podcast.

- That's so cool.

[Jazz piano music]

Well...

It was nice seeing you.

- Yes, amazing, oh my god, yes.

Let's do it again sometime.

- Yeah, absolutely.

- Yeah, for sure.

- [Man On TV] This is Julianne.

- [Woman On TV] Oh so

those're...

those are all of yours?

- [Man] Oh yeah.

I'm not proud of it, but I've

been engaged-

- Hey buddy! Third time this

week you watched this movie,

Yeah?

- Okay. Is that a...problem?

- I cannot handle

hearing it again.

- All right, it's in my room.

- This wall, this is

the wall in your room,

and then on the other side,

this is the same wall for the

living room.

Same wall, right?

Have you thought about, y'know,

floor plan

of the house? Y'know, how it's

laid out?

Kind of ever looked at that,

or...?

y'know thought about maybe

where the wall is,

how it's the same wall?

- No, I haven't seen-blueprints.

[TV chattering]

- Are you watching with

the commentary on?

- Yeah, I wanted to know how

they do the effects for this.

- Okay, we're learning a lot,

good.

I think that the TV could

do really well over there,

y'know?

Then we couldn't hear in the

living room,

you could mix things up.

That could work really well,

right?

- I'd be cranking my neck.

- [Mutters] God...

Okay, let's do it.

Y'know I think maybe the bed

could go over here?

Dresser, TV over there?

We could fix the problem,

quick rearranging?

Yeah, have you gotten up today?

Maybe stand up, take a

peek what I'm seeing, yeah?

You okay?

Ooh, there's a smell,

that's good.

Okay, so you move that over

there probably?

Okay?

Bed over here, that could

be really nice.

I think that could get

a new energy, you know?

- Yeah, I dunno.

Yeah. Yeah I'll-I'll

definitely try that, but...

- Yeah. Your neck hurting?

- Probably not gonna get to it.

- You probably not?

You have some other stuff to do

today?

- Yeah, I got a lot of

errands to do, so-

- You do?

- Yeah.

- Could you pick up toilet

paper?

Cause we're out.

Okay.

- Yeah. Sure.

- Good. Okay.

So maybe the toilet paper,

rearrange the room,

that's a good day for you, okay?

Thank you!

- [Drew] Yeah, bye.

- Thank you so much.

- [Drew] Buh-bye.

- This was a really good talk,

okay?

- [Drew] Could you

close the door?

- I think you could add

that to the list, probably.

Just a quick thing.

It's good.

- [Drew] Yeah.

- I'm actually on a call, so

thank you.

- [Drew] Sure...

- [Drew] Yeah, bye.

[Door slams]

[TV echoing]

[Jazz piano music]

[Whistling]

[Jazz piano music]

[Whistling]

Luke, hey.

Hey, what's going on?

How are you?

- What are you doing here?

- Uh, I was just wandering

around the city,

thought I'd come see what's

going on

at the old stomping grounds.

Yeah, they wouldn't let me in,

but...

I was actually hoping to

ask about the HR position.

- I believe we found the

candidate we like for it.

- Oh good, good.

I just feel bad, Betty

working with a strang-

- It's someone Betty's

worked with in the past.

- Oh, that's good, best

case scenario.

How's-how's the search

going for my position?

- I think we found a

qualified candidate!

- I could come in and, y'know

help

show 'em the ropes! For sure!

Yeah, could really,

it could really smooth

the transition.

I mean...

- I think Mark can handle

that fine on his own.

- Well, Mark doesn't know

everything,

I'm kinda the only one that

knows the nuts and bolts.

- To be honest with you, Drew,

we're looking to find someone

who can start the job fresh,

and do a bit better in

the position than you did.

- Oh hey, hey, hey,

I don't really appreciate that.

Yeah, I busted my a*s at

this job, man!

I worked late! Gave up

important social engagements

to work for your a*s.

- I have to meet someone for

lunch.

- Just go in there-[Stammering]

You know what, this is

capitalism.

Yeah! This is capitalism at its

finest.

Yeah, it's what they do.

- They don't give a f*ck.

These rich f*ck

don't give a f*ck.

- Exactly.

Yeah, that's right, no they

don't.

- All these m*therf*ckers

care about-All these f*ck

- All they do is they use you

for a lever and then

they toss you in the street like

trash.

- care about...is uh-uh-uh-uh

Almighty f*cking dollar.

- They're rich and wealthy,

they dine in their fancy glass

palaces

- All these m*therf*ckers care

about is the almighty

f*cking dollar! That's why I

only want...

- And uh-only one...

[Barking]

- Care about the bottom line.

- I'm not bowing down to

f*cking Little Caesars.

And that's why they got

that f*ck on a pizza box.

Pizza spelled

backwards is azzip!

Zip it! They want you to zip it!

I'm not zipping sh*t!!

You got it?

I'm not zipping sh*t!!

I'm not zipping it!

I'm not zipping it!

I'm not zipping it!

I'm not zipping it!

I'm not zipping it!

I'm not!

They don't let men be

horny anymore!

Men can't be horny anymore!

[Screaming]

- Jasper?

[Jazz piano music]

Yeah...

Okay, we'll see who's

replaceable.

[Jazz piano music]

Hello!

- Hey!

- How's it going?

- What's up?

It's been so long.

- Josh.

- Dude.

- Oh sh*t.

- Hey man, how's it going?

- Y'know, I don't wanna be

policing everybody,

but uh...

- Guess we should be straight,

right?

- Yep. Yep.

- Hey man.

- Hey, long time no see.

- What's up?

Yeah, Drew, this is Sam,

Sam, Drew.

- Hey!

This is the newest member

of our little family here.

- Cool. What do you play?

- Oh, I don't-

- He doesn't uh,

he doesn't play anything,

he's my manager.

- That's right.

I played drums in high school,

but...

but in the industry now, so...

- Cool, cool, cool, cool.

- Why don't you go ahead and set

up?

- [Drew] Yeah, get

those keys out.

- Think everybody else is pretty

much...

- For sure.

Ready to go...

- For sure!

[Indistinct chatter]

He's got a manager now?

- Yeah, I think he just wants to

make sure he's doing it right.

- He hasn't even

recorded music yet.

- Anyway, how's everybody doing?

Thanks for coming.

It's good to see you guys again.

Sorry for uh....

I wanna apologize for

dropping off the grid

for a couple months.

I...kind of just fell into

this...

deep depression, and I...

just started to hate the music

we were making, honestly.

It was just completely

uninspiring to me.

Then I met Sam.

He was at the bar one

night, putting a few back,

and we just started talking,

sharing records, y'know? And

uh...

He-started rewiring my brain,

and I just started

thinking that...

I found this sound, alright?

That like...

I dunno, I'm gonna

share it with you.

The song's just started

like pouring out,

I'm super excited about it,

but why don't I just

jump right into a song,

and here are the lyrics,

right here.

Harmonies, um...

but yeah you guys just listen

and feel it out.

[Guitar strumming]

I'm riding down I-10

looking for a place to stay

[Guitar strumming]

But no motels seem

to be vacant

[Guitar strumming]

And it's a warm night

And I just wanna feel

like something's right

I let the stars wrap

around me like a blanket

[Guitar strumming]

And it's okay even if I

gotta fake it

[Guitar strumming]

Ooh

[Guitar strumming]

Ooh

- [Josh clapping] I dig it.

- Yeah? I mean c'mon.

- What'd you guys think?

- Yeah, I like it a lot.

- It's so good.

- That's sick, that's sick.

- Powerful...

- Dude, it's great.

- Yeah.

- Cool!

- Yeah...

Yeah it's, almost...

it's a country song. Almost.

- [Group] Yeah, right? Yeah,

yeah.

- That's country.

[Group chattering]

- Country...

You don't think it's kind of...

weird for a Brooklyn band

to be writing songs about...

[Scoffs]

...rural life?

- Yah-I mean...y'know.

David Bowie's real name

isn't David Bowie, right?

You know that, right?

- Yeah. Mmhmm.

- Davy Jones?

- [Michael] You see what he's

saying?

- It's malleable.

- [Drew] Sure.

Yeah, no, I like the song.

- Yeah.

- Good.

- [Drew] Different.

- Maybe we um...

just jump in?

It's E flat,

and then you just kind

of follow along.

[Guitar strumming]

[Tamborine chimes]

- Jack...

[Steel twangs]

Riding down I-10 looking

for a place to stay

But no motels seem

to be vacant

It's a warm night

And I just wanna feel

like something's right

I let the stars wrap

around me like a blanket

[Piano flourishes]

It's okay even if I

gotta fake it

[Piano plays loudly]

[Piano plays rapidly and loudly]

- [Michael] Whoa.

That's a verse.

Um...

- I love when you guys

came in, that was perfect,

like seriously.

And I love...

the steel, was just

sounding like, awesome.

- Mm!

Annie, that was cool,

I really like when you

come in with the tambo.

Harmonies were like...

- Solid-

- I dunno, it's like...

And Drew, I'm kind of,

maybe pull back just

a little bit?

- Pull back?

- It's just kind of um...

it's a little much?

- [Drew] Mm...

- That makes sense?

- Yeah...

- That sounds like a

child's piano.

- [Drew] Yeah.

- Like a child would play.

[Group muttering]

- Mmkay. I'm trying.

- It's very aggressive.

- This thing's pretty sticky...

- Yeah...

[Guitar strum]

- Yeah, let's just jump right

in, do another one.

- [Drew] For sure.

- Yeah, let's try it.

We can try it.

Yeah, cool.

[Guitar strumming]

I'm riding down I-10

looking for a place to stay

[Guitar strumming]

But no motels seem

to be vacant

[Tamborine chimes]

And it's a warm night

And I just wanna feel

like something's right

[Piano tapping off-beat]

I let the stars wrap

round me like a blanket

[Piano trailing behind]

And-

Um...

I'm not sure.

Something's not quite

working right now.

Um?

Maybe, Drew...

Maybe-maybe we just try this

one,

maybe you just sit this one out?

Let's just see how it sounds.

- Yeah, I'm cool with that.

Yeah.

- [Michael] We'll figure out

what's going on here.

- Smart. I think that's a

good instinct.

- Yeah. Unless I-y'know

maybe if I...

I'm feeling it-?

- [Michael] I think we...

Kinda wanted to-that kinda

defeats

the purpose of the experiment.

- Oh yeah, yeah. No, that's

true,

that's true. Yeah.

- Yeah, okay.

- [Sam] You could turn it off.

- Kind of hear it without...

if I hear it without,

maybe I'll,

that's-that's-that's gonna

help me come up with-

- Um...what do you guys think?

Ready?

Everybody's ready?

- Not gonna touch it.

- You guys powered on?

Powered down?

- Not gonna touch, just gonna...

[Guitar strumming]

[Steel twanging]

[Guitar strumming]

I'm riding down I-10

looking for a place to stay

- [Drew] It's never been wrong

for songs before,

we've always had keys.

- Then, you gotta stop

bringing up the old stuff.

I mean, it gets me really down,

I mean is that what you want?

- No! I just...

I just feel like I

contributed nothing to today,

and it's bumming me out.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

It's not you, it- I quit my job.

- What? You did?

Did you find something?

- [Drew] No, not yet.

I actually-

- That really is awful, dude.

- No, it's-it's good, yeah,

'cause now-

- I gotta run, 'cause Sam is

texting me,

we're going upstate,

and we're doing this like

writer's retreat thing,

it should be really cool,

but I don't wanna keep him

waiting.

Um...look, good luck, man.

I mean, you're smart,

somebody's gonna want you.

You got this dude.

Good luck!

- Thanks, Michael.

[police sirens wailing]

- [Rajat] Yeah, they might

have broken up?

- [Kim] Y'know, so don't break

it up

unless she drinks that first or

something.

- Yeah.

- Whose party is this, again?

- It's at Rachel's?

- Rachel's.

I think...

- How do you know Rachel?

- [Kim] I think I told you

earlier, in middle school?

- [Rajat] It's middle school.

Said it yesterday.

- [Drew] Oh yeah.

- Are you-How you feeling?

Are you good?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- [Rajat] You've been

forgetting a lot.

- [Drew] How do I know Rachel?

- [Kim] You met her at the park.

- [Drew] Park, really?

- [Rajat] Maybe you should

start doing the crossword?

- Do I look okay?

- [Rajat] Yeah!

[Knocking]

[Commotion]

- Hi...!

- Hey Kim!

Well come in!

Hey! What's up?

- Hi.

- [Rajat] Good to see you.

- You too.

Hi!

- Drew.

- Yes.

- [Drew] Met in the park?

- Yes, thanks for coming.

- Hey, no problem.

Is it shoes off?

- Hi, how are you?

[Women chattering]

[Jazz piano music]

[Jazz piano music]

[Jazz piano music]

[Jazz piano music]

[Shouting]

[Muffled party music]

[Muffled party music]

- Dan.

- Mm! Drew!

Oh snap, what you doing here,

man?

- Just came with my

roommate and his girlfriend.

- All right.

- Do you know...?

- I know Rachel, yeah.

- Met Rachel once.

- Oh snap. Small world.

- Teeny-tiny.

- Hey, listen, we all really

miss you at the office.

A lot of people thought you

quitting

like you did was really stupid,

but not me!

Y'know, thought it

was real brave.

Uh, I even thought of

quitting too.

- Why didn't you?

- I've-I like having a job.

I like being able to buy things,

I guess.

Yeah. Products.

And I guess-

And I guess I like to,

I like to have nice things,

and you need money to

buy nice things.

- Are you from the party?

- No.

You're from the party,

the one on the third floor?

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It's not my party, but

I was up there.

- They have parties all

the time, it's so annoying.

- Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah I left-I left early,

it was, it was lame...

lame party. Probably goes late

too, right?

You're trying to go to bed,

they're just getting started,

yeah.

- [Smoker] Did you come

out here to smoke?

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, must've-forgotten my

smoking stuff up...stairs.

- You need a light?

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

- It's a little windy,

do you mind if um...just...

- That's good.

Cut up some...

[Smoker chuckles]

- Some lime?

Tequila.

- Tequila! Si!

- Oh! That's good, that's good.

[Giggling]

- You can't have a

Saturday night?

- Not if I want a Sunday

morning.

[Giggles]

[Laughing]

Yeah...

Wow...

Oh, thanks.

Cheers.

- Cheers! Hee hee.

- Do you have roommates?

- Nope.

Oh, sor-it's broken,

you have to kind of like sit up

straight.

Yeah, ha ha!

[Giggles] Yeah no, it's all

right,

it's kinda expensive.

It actually-just, yeah.

Hm! That's fine.

- What do you do?

- What do you mean?

- For a job?

[Scoffs]

Yeah, it's a dumb question.

- Oh, I do lights at

the Sulton Room.

- Oh, cool!

- You been there?

- Uh, no.

- It's right around the corner.

- Is that a venue?

People dance there?

Yeah.

That's cool.

- Yeah, okay.

I also work at a record label.

- No way.

- Yeah! [Giggles]

Yeah, it's my brother's.

- Okay. This is so weird.

- Kinda cool, yeah? Mm?

- I play keys in a band.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Wow!

- Yeah, we-we're um, working on

some new stuff right now.

- That's...really rad.

- Yeah, yeah.

- [Drew] What label is it?

- What?

- What label is the...?

- Retcon Records?

- Oh.

Yeah. Is it-? Uh...

haven't heard of that.

- It's my brother's.

- It's-It's-It's big?

- Yeah! Yeah, we've got

some pretty big acts.

- Cool.

- [Drew] Oh what do you uh,

what do you do there?

- Um! I-I work in A&R.

- Oh, whoa, really?

- Mmhmm.

- Cool, could I um...

could I show you a song?

- Yeah sure, you could

send it to me.

- Yeah? Yeah.

Right, right uh...? Yeah, we

could-

we could listen to it right now.

I could send it to you. Or...?

- Right now?

- I could play it off-yeah,

could play it off my phone.

- Okay.

- Yeah, where's uh...

- [Woman] Speaker?

- Oh, hell yeah!

Okay, wow.

Do you have an adapter?

This is an eighth inch.

- [Woman] It should be up there.

- Um... I don't see it.

Could-could you have moved it?

Oh, could it be on

your headphones?

- [Woman] They're wireless.

- Mm...

Alright.

Okay.

Do you have like a cord

drawer we could look through?

- No, I don't, I don't

have a cord drawer, sorry.

Well I-I, y'know?

I'll just play it off my phone,

yeah.

That's fine, I can just

play it off my phone.

- Man, I'm getting sleepy.

- Yeah, here we go.

[Recording of guitar strumming]

Yeah, so this is a demo,

it's unpolished.

Uh, y'know we didn't use any

professional

recording equipment, but...

just use your imagination.

I'm sure you're used to...

hearing stuff like this.

[slow guitar and vocals]

My part's coming in.

- Mm...

- See in the-

[slow guitar and vocals]

Not this part...

Yep. Now, that's me,

that's me playing. Yep.

[Two piano notes]

[Slow guitar and vocals]

[Woman yawns]

[Two piano notes]

- Hm...

[Piano and drums]

- Yeah, well that-

You get the idea.

- [Woman] Yeah.

- What'd you think?

Did you like it?

- Yeah, I didn't really like it.

- You didn't like it?

- [Woman] Not really, no.

- Not at all?

- I just feel like, it's been

done before,

you know what I mean?

- Yeah, yeah, it's not

for everyone.

- It's not really what I meant,

but...

- Okay...

[Anemic piano]

[Guitar strumming]

I'm turning right down

to South of Mason Dixon

Got a big old bowl

and she only fit for mixing

Ain't a rusty old truck

fixin' for a fixing

Got a whole lot of love

and I know it

Something missing

[Guitar plucking]

[Piano playing off rhythm]

Think a lot about a little,

A little bout a lot

And I got a bit of whisky

if you wanna take a shot

Sit on your hands

till the drinking is done

Cut off the head,

and let back

She can run

- [Sam] I'm a little worried, I

think we should...

[Piano playing it's own song]

[Guitar strumming]

In the background,

there's like...

All right.

- Josh, that slide in

was like iconic.

- Thank you.

- That was so cool!

- I love the, just like,

simple country base,

that was the right call, man.

Um, Annie, I'm thinking

maybe with the tambourine

maybe we do like um...

you just, you wait to come in on

like the...

- [Annie] The second verse?

Yeah, now I'm-

- And that's why we're in a

band.

- [Sam] You guys are k*lling it.

- Thanks, man!

- Um...yeah, Drew,

um...

so I'm thinking that,

maybe the piano,

- [Stammering] I'mma stop

you right there,

I think I know what

you're gonna say.

It's not really "jiving"

with the rest of the song?

- [Scoffs] What's with

the attitude, man?

- Sorry, just...

- [Michael] You gotta

just work with everybody.

- Just stressed.

Sorry.

- It's okay, man. Um...

But, honestly,

I kind of don't think it jives

with the rest of the song.

- [Drew] What?

What is wrong?

- [Michael] Like, on the song-

What is wrong with piano?

Can you tell me what

I'm doing wrong?

- I think that you're-

- Do you even like this song?

- Whoa!

- [Michael] Course I like the

song,

I wrote this song.

- Aw boy...

- [Sam] No, no-no-no. You guys-?

- Do you think it's a bad song?

- [Sam] C'mon, c'mon, no-no-no-

- It's a bit reductive.

- [Sam] Reductive? No.

- Is it a bad song?

- Do you guys think it's

reductive?

- [Michael] Is it stupid?

- No, no it's not.

- [Sam] I don't think

it's reductive.

I can see how maybe,

if I were somebody who was

prioritizing my

own role in the band,

my own part in a song,

- What?

- [Sam] over the entire band,

over-

the beautiful music

that's being made,

I mean I could see if my ego

was getting a little too big,

then maybe I would say...

- What?

- [Sam] I'm just calling it like

it is.

- No-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no,

I do not have an ego.

- [Sam] Call a spade a spade.

- I do not have an ego. I do not

have an ego, no.

- Everybody has an ego, Drew.

- I'm-I'm-I'm... I'm all Id,

I'm Id.

- That doesn't exist.

- [Drew] I'm all Id!

[Group muttering]

- [Sam] He's being weird, right?

- I can't with this...

- [Sam] Yeah, no.

- [Michael] Somebody in the band

doesn't like the songs.

- Michael, you're not

even gonna talk to me?

You're gonna let S-Sam...?

- Drew, the constant need

for attention,

it's exhausting.

- [Drew] Sh-Shut-!

Shut your a*s, man.

- [Sam] Shut my a*s?

- Yeah. Shut your a*s!

- Drew, you're not

helping the situation,

he's trying to help.

- [Drew] He's not helping the

situation, man.

He-!

- Stop pointing.

- Shut up.

- [Sam] Don't point at me.

- Fu-Fu-f*ck you man.

- Yeah, good. Good Drew, why

don't you make a whole scene?

[Wheezes]

I think this is going great.

- Michael, c'mon, we're

going down a dark road, man.

This is dark.

Okay? We-We didn't sign up

for this, okay?

Josh? Josh?

Josh?

- Man, I don't-I don't mind.

I like it.

- Well, okay, but

it's not what...

we signed up for,

you can agree with that?

- [Josh] I don't, I don't

see it that way.

- [Drew] Okay, but like, we

didn't sign up for this.

Y'know what I mean?

- [Sam] Why don't-

Why don't you let

Josh speak for himself?

- [Drew] I'm letting Josh speak!

- No you're not, you're cutting

him off!

- [Drew] No, you cut him off!

- [Sam] No-no-no, you cut him

off.

- I'm cutting you off, after

you've cut him off.

- [Sam] I wish you wouldn't!

- You cut him off.

- [Michael] Hey, hey. Drew.

I think you need to go take a

walk

and cool off. Alright? Just-

- I'm calm.

- [Sam] You're not calm.

- [Grimacing] Yes I am, I'm

calm, man.

- [Michael] That is not calm.

- I'm calm man.

- That is not calm.

- [Sam] Not calm at all.

- [Michael] Just go take a walk.

- Yeah, no, no, yeah,

I'll take a walk, and I'll...

and I'll keep walking.

Yeah. I'm not gonna make a loop.

- [Michael] If that's

what you wanna-

- I'm not gonna make a loop

around, I'm not coming back,

I'm gonna keep walk-

walking straight.

- [Michael] Okay, yeah.

- [Drew] That's what you want?

That's what you want?

I just wanna hear from you,

that's what you want?

- Yeah, sure.

- Be careful what you wish for,

man, 'cause I'm gone.

Boom, powering off.

- All right, I wanna

- [Drew] Unplugged!

get something done tonight.

- Yeah, no, I mean we have

- Here we go!

- 15 more hours here, and...

that wasn't working anyway.

- What time is it?

I think we gotta get up, right?

You want coffees or I can

get us some blow or...?

- Uh, thanks.

- Whoa!

[Giggling]

- [Drew] I'll take it now.

[Guitar plucking]

[Tamborine chimes]

- [Sam] Let's just try and push

the

negative vibes out of the room.

[Michael singing]

[Band playing]

- Here I go!

Thank you, thanks.

Here I go!

Thanks man, I'll see ya. Thanks.

Hear that? I'm off!

I'm...

[Michael singing]

[Band playing]

Not coming back.

[Band playing]

- [Sam] Let's get

this sh*t on wax.

- [Man On TV] This is Julianne.

- [Woman On TV] Oh so

those're...

those are all of yours?

- [Man] Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm not

proud

of it, but I have been engaged

seven different times.

[Phone buzzing]

- [Woman] Oh wow!

- [Man] So I thought I'd come

down

to this God awful city

today and sell them off.

- [Woman] Oh gosh.

[Phone buzzing]

- [Man] What is time, y'know?

It's just time!

It's just time. [Phone buzzing]

[Phone buzzing]

Just...move on.

- [Woman] Well don't give up.

[Clears throat]

You're gonna find love too, I

think.

[Phone buzzing]

I just um...I just know it.

- Hey, this is Jude.

Yeah, that's right up my alley.

No, I'm very

proficient in Excel,

basically an Excel Wizard.

And uh...

Yeah, Microsoft word I'm... I

am a samari, yeah.

Uh...

Tuesday?

Uh...I'll have to check my

schedule

because I, um...

have a lot of other...

interviews set up,

but this is my first choice,

so...

I'd like to make it work.

Oh, you know what?

Tuesday I am free.

Awesome.

10AM, cool.

I'm very excited to meet you,

Betty,

and I'll uh, I'll see you then.

All right, you too.

Yep.

Goodbye.

[Echoed jazz piano music]

- Remember this, okay?

Just really tight,

and then it's

supposed to go down.

- Right.

- And then...

- Oh, yeah, like you're tying

it?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, over.

- I'm actually gonna Google...

Can you come over here?

- Yeah, sorry.

- We're just gonna

Google how to tie...

[sirens wailing]

[Soft jazz piano music]

- ...email that I forwarded to

you.

- [Drew] Yeah.

- Yeah, so just copy and paste

that into the cell,

and then you can drag that over.

Yeah, you got it.

And then, um... if you

cross reference,

and pull up the V lookup

that I showed you.

- Betty?

- Oh, Drew!

- Surprised to see me?

- Yeah, uh...

- You must be the new HR hire.

- Hi.

- Hope you're enjoying the job.

- Thank you, sir.

- I almost had that-

- We have, um,

right now we've got a

lot going on,

so if there is

something you needed

you could have just called.

- Yeah, well, I bet

you got a lot going on, I-I-I-

you're seeing a Jude Hampton?

For an interview?

- [Betty] I'm-sorry,

how did you know about that?

- Well I'm...

I'm...

I'm Jude-

I'm Jude Hampton, yeah.

- [Betty] Luke! Uh perfect

timing, wow uh...

- Good-great timing, yes.

This might be a surprise,

but I believe I am the best

candidate for the pos-

- [Betty] Best impersonator, for

the position.

- What's going on here?

What is going on here?

- [Betty] Meet "Jude Hampton."

- I...applied under the

cover of anonymity?

- Falsified documents, yeah.

- Not falsified, I applied

under a cover of anonymity

to make it uh, an even

playing field.

For everyone else.

- [Betty] Yeah, you lied.

- Well,

it's...it's a good-

it's a good lie.

This is actually a

hiring practice,

this is a hiring practice in

some places.

- [Betty] You lied.

- We need you to leave, Drew.

- What?

- Yeah.

Was there anybody else

that you liked?

- [Betty] Uh, yes but I

didn't schedule anyone

'cause I thought that Jude was-

- [Luke] Well call them up and

see if they can come in.

- [Betty] We had a

couple candidates.

- [Luke] Good. Call them and see

if they

can come in this afternoon and

evening.

- No, this-this-this is

discrimination.

- [Betty chuckles] What?

- This is a form of

discrimination.

- [Betty] Okay, uh- Heh...

- Nicole, call the front desk,

and have somebody from security

come up.

- [Drew] Security, Luke?

Oh my god- security, really?

"Oh yeah! I'm gonna really-

I'm gonna be trouble here."

What do you think, I

got g*ns in here?

- Oh wow, okay.

You're gonna need to leave.

- Wait-wait-wait-wait, whoa,

whoa.

- It's not a sh**ting-

It's not a sh**ter situation.

- [Betty] I'll go to

security myself.

- [Drew] This is not a sh**ter

situation.

Okay-okay-okay-okay!

I'm leaving. I'm leaving,

leaving.

I get it, my tactics were

not appreciated,

I understand that.

Heading out.

Good day, bye.

- Are you guys okay?

- [Betty] Wow, yeah.

- Did he work here?

- [Betty] Ugh, if you wanna

call it that, briefly.

- [Luke] Goodness...

- [Sigh] Must be nice to

be so privileged.

- You know what though?

I-I-I-I didn't even want this

job! Y'know?

- [Betty] I'm gonna need you to

call security right now.

- I didn't even want this job,

yeah!

No no, put the phone down.

I didn't want this job,

I did this on purpose. Yeah.

To expose how corrupt and

poorly run this establishment

is. Yeah!

- [Betty] Okay, Drew,

- It's rotten!

we're gonna need you to go right

now.

- I wouldn't eat this apple!

No-no, there's a worm in

the middle of-of this apple,

yeah.

Yeah, no.

Yeah and-and-and they

don't care about us!

They don't care about us here,

okay?

N-N-Nancy?

Dan?

Rh-uh...Rhett?

- [Woman] Is he okay?

- Y-Yes?

- Rhett, they don't

care about you,

they don't care about any of us,

we're cogs in-in...in

their machine.

Yeah. And we-we gotta stand up,

we gotta-we gotta rage against.

We gotta rage against

their machine!

Cause there's life out there.

Th-There's meaning,

there's experiences.

This man has you all convinced

that the best use of your

precious youth,

your time o-o-on this planet,

is in service of massive

corporate bureaucracy,

F-for what? Wh-wha-what for?

Wha-What for?

What, so you can go home,

and binge watch sanitized

television shows

about people that work

in the same city as you,

at slightly cooler jobs?

You can't even see the

sunset from this office.

I-I for one, I'm sick and tired

of walking in and out of

here every day, in the dark.

Yeah...no...

I'm going down to the water,

down-down to the water. N-N-I-in

a...

Hey-hey-hey!

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay.

I'm leaving, I'm leaving.

Going down to the water.

I'm watching the sunset.

You people gotta wake up! Okay?

You're dreaming,

and it's a bad dream.

It's a nightmare.

It-

Okay, no secur-no security!

I'm go-I'm going, I'm going.

- Yo! Drew! Hey.

- What, are you guys coming

to beat the sh*t out of me or

something?

- No man, we walked out.

- [Guys] Yeah...

- What?

- We liked all the things

you were saying.

- We will, we will follow you.

We wanna, we wanna follow you.

- So you all...quit?

- [Dan] Yeah.

- Yes.

- [Rhett] Yeah...

- You still going to the park?

- Look at that sky.

- Yep.

Drew?

- What, Dan?

I was thinking.

You don't interrupt someone

when they're thinking.

- I'm sorry. Um...

- What is it?

- I think these guys

wanna talk to you.

[Jazz piano music]

Seems like they came

with friends.

[Jazz piano music]

[Piano playing]

[Chattering]

- Hey, hi, we were

just wondering

if maybe we could talk to you.

Nathan suggested that we

should talk to you probably.

- Nathan did?

- [Group] Yeah.

[Jazz piano music]

- All right, what can

I help you boys with?

- It's a little embarrassing.

- We sound ungrateful.

- Yeah.

- We should have kept it to

ourselves.

- It's not good...

- It's just nothing

feels good...?

- What he's trying to say is

that

we don't know what to do with

ourselves.

- Yeah, or that more

that we're-yeah...

- We're not quite sure,

and it sucks.

- All right, walk with me.

[Jazz piano music]

- Let's go.

How about a new hobby?

- Hm...

Maybe a new instrument?

- We didn't think of that,

we didn't try that.

- My fingers aren't

very dextrous.

- I don't wanna try

and fail at any.

- We need something that we

can be good at right away.

- Yeah, yeah, like a podcast.

- But not a podcast.

- Right, yeah. Exactly.

- Well, whatever you do,

just remember.

Life is a gift,

there's endless

opportunities out there,

and uh, don't let

anyone tell you,

not even me,

- Of course.

- ...how to live it.

Take that from me.

- I think that makes sense.

- Plus, maybe uh...

Y'know maybe you're putting too

much

pressure on finding something

perfect, y'know?

Enjoy things as they are,

imperfections included.

- Wow, you really are

a saint, Mr. Hampton.

- I know, I know.

Did you guys meet here?

- We worked together.

- We quit together.

- Yeah, we quit together, and

worked.

Well we worked together

and then we quit together.

- After we were working, for

a while. Uh-huh.

- [Drew] Where did you work?

- We were at Grace Face.

We were the entire sales

and marketing team.

- Tanked 'em at this point.

- Yeah, they're begging for

people to fill their jobs now.

- Who's doing sales? Nobody.

- Well good on you.

Yeah, that's, you did

the right thing... yeah.

Now...go live life.

- Yes...!

- Exactly.

- That's how it is.

- Go.

- Over there?

- Yeah, go.

- Oh, you want us to...

- Yeah, I want you to go.

- Ah, yeah-!

- No-no-no. Find Nathan.

- Yeah, sorry.

- Or go back to your tent,

I don't know.

- What?

- Just go.

- You said to bring Nathan-?

- [Drew] Go back to your tent.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

- Thank you!

- Okay.

- f*ck...

- Drew.

- Dan, you gotta

stop doing that.

- My bad, I'm sorry.

- You freak me out every time.

- I'm sorry.

- Okay, the sticks

are the bounds,

keep the ball in the bounds.

Otherwise that's a point

for the other team.

Serving, overhand or underhand,

your choice.

Um...that's it.

You all ready?

- [Players] Yup!

- [Players] Yep.

- Okay, here it comes.

[Jazz piano music]

- You wanna-?

- You start it out, yeah.

[Jazz piano music]

- Service.

- That's in bounds.

[Clapping]

Why you clapping? No clap-

No-no-no, that was-

you should have gone for that.

- Okay, so I should

have gone-okay.

Alright.

- [Drew] Team building, this

exercise, warming up.

- You got this one, alright?

- Se-serve, serve-!

- Serve it, yeah.

- Serve!

[Clapping]

- Alright, let's take

a water break.

- [Player] Good stuff.

[Commotion]

[Harmonica playing]

Hey, is there any pizza left?

- No.

- This is it, the

whole department.

On Monday morning...

- What's up?

- Dude!

- Mr. Hampton, that's

the reason why.

- Let's clean out the hammock

when you're doing using it.

- [Man] Sorry!

- This guy's beat red.

Guy is mad.

Uh, because-

No because, nobody-everybody

doesn't

quit a company that's nice,

everybody doesn't quit

a company that's good.

Imagine like, sitting in an

office of your

own making and there's no one

there.

Literally every,

every desk open,

dozens.

I did check the website,

just out of curiosity,

they have every position listed,

which is so stupid!

It's so lame, that's pathetic.

No one wants it.

Imagine having to hire

all those positions now.

- The entire department-

- No one's working there.

Every job...

The best chairs are open.

It's just humiliating!

- You were in sales?

- I was in sales well, like,

yeah, and let me

ask you this, who's doing sales

now?

Nobody!

[Group laughs]

Right? You could-Anybody

could get the sales job now.

Beautiful place...

[Zipping]

[Jazz piano music]

- I uh, really appreciate you

coming in

on such short notice by the way,

Drew.

- There's no problem sir,

I was available.

- Well we need more

young men like you,

not like that mass of

entitled brats downtown,

you heard about all that.

- I did, yeah.

They're just misguided, sir.

I think they need someone to

point them in the right

direction.

- Well, you're a hell of a lot

more empathetic than I am,

but...

[Phone dinging]

Hey! Not cool.

Alright?

It gets kind of crazy

around here,

but you're gonna do great here,

but it is gonna be very

busy, just fair warning.

- [Drew] It's okay, I'm excited.

- It's gonna be up over

your eyeballs.

- Pile it on, sir.

- [Boss] Full force. There's

a lot of backlog on this,

and we're gonna need 100%

from you, so...

[Drew whistling]

- Hey, where you going?

- Work!

- Oh...

[Car honking]

[Hollering]

- [Crowd] Where is he going?

- m*therf*cker!

- Where are you going?

- I don't like that guy!

- You ruined my life!

Get back here.

- Where the f*ck is he?

- I dunno!

- Where is he?

[Bickering]

[Crowd shouting]

- That's it for me!

- I'm freaking out.

- I'm starving.

- I haven't eaten in-!

- What about-

- There he is!

- sh*t.

- Let's go.

- f*ck...

- Get the f*ck!

- f*ck you man!

- Judas!

- f*ck you, dude!

[Mob shouting]

[Door pounding]

- Hey, how are you?
