Art of a Hit (2024)

Post by bunniefuu »

(crowd cheering)

- [Announcer] That's right Billy

we've got a great

show for you tonight.

But first, with a cut

from their debut album

that is quickly

climbing the charts.

It's Excelsis!

(crowd cheering)

(guitar chord blaring)

- [Stage Manager]

One minute away.

- You think she'll

be watching this?

- Okay, let's focus, Romeo.

- You got this man.

(crowd cheering)

- Timmy, remember to keep that

gain down on the hammertone.

- Yo, I got you son.

- Mat, you need to keep

the velocity consistent

on that left hand.

- I'll do it how I always do it.

- I'm good, bud.

This beats playing in

your cousin's basement.

- A little better, right?

- [Stage Manager] I've got

Alan Albright, Alan Albright.

- Bass. Thank you.

Hey, Alan?

- [Alan] Hey, how

are my two boys, huh?

Let's kick some a*s!

- Yeah, thanks, whatever, man.

My brother.

This is exactly what we

dreamed of, right? (laughing)

- All right. Hands in, eyes up.

We got two and a half

minutes to change our lives.

- [Cristin] That's

what she said!

(crowd cheering)

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic ominous music)

(screams)

When I was a movie star

An asteroid had

hit the Earth

And prematurely

ended my career

I thought out loud

But no one heard me saying

So sue me, it's up to me

If I decide to be

what I think is right

Don't bother me

when I'm watching

"Planet of the Apes" on TV

That's right, that's

how it should be

- Ryan.

Yo, Ryan, where are we going?

Dude, we're just passing

a bunch of f*cking grass.

Where are we going?

- [David] All right, all

right, here's a classic.

- [Timmy] Dude, what is that?

(rock music)

- What?

- Turn it off.

- What, this is like one

of your guys' best songs.

- [Cristin] Yeah, it was

one of our best songs.

- [David] Is it true

Miles wrote that song

in like 10 minutes?

- [Timmy] All right,

somebody needs

to tell the new guy the rules.

- Listen.

- What rules?

- Ryan's rules, number one.

Don't play the old album.

Number two.

- [All] Don't f*cking

talk about Miles.

- [David] Okay, I'm sorry.

He left like eight years ago.

- [Cristin] Yeah, but the

last time that we were a band

was like eight years ago.

- [David] I have some

pretty cool new ideas

that I think would take you guys

in a new direction.

- All right. You know what?

We don't need your

cool ideas, okay?

- [David] I know

what's in right now

and that's why I'm here.

- [Timmy] You have no

idea what's in right now!

- [David] It's called pop rock.

- [Timmy] You have no

idea what's in right now!

- [Mat] Shut up!

- [David] So what's

the deal with Ryan?

Is he just always like that?

- Yeah.

You know the old, we're getting

the band back together thing,

he just thinks that this

is like his one shot

to make an album that's as good

as the one we made

before Miles left.

- Right.

I'm just happy to be here 'cause

I'm a big fan of you guys.

I'm just trying to

learn as much as I can

and then hopefully a solo album.

- Yeah, see, just don't

say sh*t like that out loud

and you'll be fine.

- This is the last time

you gonna hear my voice.

No. Nah, I don't give a f*ck.

- Another heartbreak

in the books.

Yo, band card's not working.

- Hey!

Listen can you not

be a d*ck to David?

The label said that he

has a big following.

- I don't give a sh*t

about a following.

- Maybe he can add

something new to our sound.

- I'm not here to

find a new sound.

I'm here to make

a good rock album.

Rock.

- So am I.

- Yeah. It's the last time

I'm doin' this sh*t for you.

(door clicks)

Oh. You gotta pay for these.

(foreboding music)

(foreboding music continues)

- Would you rather

write a song that sucks

but goes platinum or write

the greatest rock song

ever written, but no

one will ever hear it?

- I dunno, that's

impossible to answer.

But I will say, if my

song goes platinum,

I will enjoy in my hot

tub, drinking a margarita

and enjoying life.

- Okay.

- I think platinum

would be sick.

- I mean, what's the point

of making music if

nobody's gonna listen?

- So, just to be clear,

everyone here wants to sell out.

Why don't we just write a song

for a Taco Bell commercial

and just call it a day?

- Now that's a good idea.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- I love Taco Bell.

- You'd f*cking like that,

wouldn't you?

- I love Taco Bell.

- [Mat] Yo quiero

platinum. El platinum.

Le Platinum.

- Le platinum.

- Okay. What about

just to compromise,

you know, we could

be like JS Bach,

die and then sell out,

like long after death.

- Platinum after death. Yeah,

that's a good band name.

- [Ryan] Usuals?

- Yeah, yeah. Double. Please

- Can I get a lemonade

and Grenadine?

- Oh, David's got the

straight edge. You know that?

- [David] No, I don't.

I'm just trying to

focus on the music.

- [Mat] You and me both.

- [Cristin] You're just

trying to focus on Liza.

- [Mat] I am not

talking about Liza.

(gentle guitar music)

- [All] Cheers.

(glasses clinking)

- She took the

couch and I'm like,

"This is my couch b*tch I paid

off the credit cards. Okay?"

If I paid off the credit cards,

everything that was on

the credit card is mine.

So who's the couch?

- Do you like the couch?

- Hell no.

- Then don't keep the couch.

- Um, hey, not to

freak everyone out,

but the bartender

said that the castle

we're going to is

like really f*cked up.

- What, no AC?

- Like everyone that goes

there loses their mind.

(sinister music)

- Well, we're already broke

musicians chasing a pipe dream.

I think we've lost

our f*cking minds.

- Wait, wait. I'm not broke.

I, I actually make money

playing music unlike you guys.

- Yeah and you look really cool

standing behind Nickelback.

(Cristin and Timmy chuckle)

- Ryan, do you believe him?

- He's probably just

f*cking with you, buddy.

(gentle guitar music)

- Okay, look, see now exhibit

A. This guy right here.

This is Cristin's dream gig.

This is the venue.

- This guy is k*lling it.

- This is it. This

is what you're

talking about, right?

- He showed up.

- He did show up.

- I have so much respect

for that.

- Yeah.

(singer singing in

foreign language)

- I feel bad for him.

No one here. No one listening.

- It's a good song.

- Well, he is in his peak

moment right now in life.

Okay. He's happy, look at him.

He's enjoying himself.

That's what we need.

We Jealous. Y'all jealous?

Y'all jealous y'all

don't get to see somebody

enjoying themselves.

- [Timmy] Alright. You

need to take lessons.

(singer singing in Occitan)

(dramatic guitar music)

- Hey, Ryan?

Hey, Ryan. Ryan.

The band card's not working.

(phone ringing)

- [Les] Alan Albright's office.

- Hey Les. Uh, so the

band's card isn't working.

Could you uh, could

you put Alan on?

- [Les] Hi, Ryan.

I'm glad you called.

Unfortunately the label is

not going to move forward

with the album.

(sinister music)

- What?

- We've been trying

to reach you.

I'm not sure how

to say this, but-

- What the f*ck are you

talking about?

- Yeah, we're having to focus

just on its priority artists.

- Priority artists. What the

f*ck does that even mean?

Les, put Alan on.

Please get Alan.

Okay? Put Alan on the phone.

- [Les] He's not gonna give

you the answer you want, Ryan.

- Les. Les, put Alan-

(Timmy spitting)

(phone beeps)

- He pick up?

- No.

- [Timmy] Ah, f*ck

Alan. f*ck Alan!

(car rumbling)

(soft, sinister music)

- [Timmy] Damn, so this

is where they recorded

Joan of Arc and Pedro the Lion?

- I think the new Pedro the

Lion stuff's pretty overrated,

but it's still blowing

up on the P2P servers.

- What is a P2P server? Huh?

If it's not analog,

it's not music.

- Damn.

sh*t.

Okay. Yeah. I gotta

get this on my video.

I'm starting a new thing.

It's called a video

blog, journal thing.

- A what?

- I'm gonna call it,

I'm just gonna

say video journal.

Vajournal.

- Vajournal? (laughs)

- Vajournal.

- [Timmy] I love it. What?

- Okay.

Woo. Does this super

producer have a phone number?

- Hey. So we're supposed

to be here, right?

- Yeah, we're

supposed to be here.

You still tweaking about

what the bartender said?

- No, I'm not. Shut the f*ck up.

- [Timmy] You shut the f*ck up.

- [Mat] Yeah, I'm gonna

get this on camera

in case we don't leave

this m*therf*cking-

(Ryan hammering)

(group laughing)

(group chatting indistinctly)

- [Timmy] Ryan.

What's up? Come on.

(group laughs)

(sinister music)

- [Ryan] Look, I know things

haven't always gone our way.

- [Timmy] What?

You talking about this

trip or your entire life?

- I know I can be in

my head sometimes.

But if we just

trust the process.

We have everything we need right

here to make a great album.

- Yeah?

My therapist, she said, you

don't need to plan sometime.

You can just wing it.

- What's your therapist's

name? Dr. Oprah?

- No, her name is Denise.

Oprah too expensive.

- (scoffs) Oh sh*t. You don't

wanna forget about this.

Ryan's book of hits from

the last forever. (chuckles)

- They're good.

- [Timmy] Yeah. I

guess we'll find out.

(gates clanking and creaking)

- Okay. See?

(gentle guitar music)

- [Cristin] This is

crazy. What the f*ck?

- You ready for this sh*t?

If you gonna make

a comeback album,

this is the perfect

place to do it.

(g*nshots banging)

- f*ck!

- Get the f*ck down!

(tense music)

- f*ck!

(g*nshots banging)

Jesus f*cking Christ.

f*ck. What the f*ck? (panting)

- [Ryan] All right. f*ck this.

- [Charlie] Pigeons.

If you have your shot.

You gotta take it.

(Ryan sighs)

(footsteps crunching)

- [Timmy] All right.

f*ck this guy.

- [David] Look, he has

an unconventional style,

but his work speaks for himself.

Okay? Have you read

his book? It's awesome.

- No, I don't read

books about music.

I play music. You f*cking nerd.

- Okay, excuse me

for giving a sh*t

and doing research on the

guy that we're working with.

- [Timmy] All right dude,

what's that in your nose?

Is that a little sh*t from

being such a little kiss a*s?

- Just shut up.

Shut up.

- Hey guys, for two seconds,

look like a competent

band, please.

- Nah, let him keep going.

I'm filming all this sh*t.

- Welcome to Dordogne.

- Ryan.

- I know.

- Hi, I'm David and I

read, I read your book.

- Shh.

(Charlie inhales deeply)

(Charlie exhales)

- Uh.

(Charlie exhales).

Are we? Oh, okay,

we're doing this.

(Charlie inhales and exhales)

(Charlie inhales

and exhales loudly)

- Once you walk

through those doors,

you are no longer musicians.

You're explorers

searching for the deepest,

most personal entity

within yourselves.

And if that turns into a

song, that's all just a bonus.

- Oh! Almost caught

the Holy Ghost.

Liza, we supposed to get

married in some sh*t like this.

- Yeah. Once we walk

through those doors,

no more mentions of Liza.

- So (clears throat) do we get

to stay in the little towers?

- You don't get to stay

until I see what you got.

- What does that mean?

- What do I have to say?

What do you think it means?

You don't get to stay

until I see what you got.

Studio's in here.

- [Timmy] Alright, Pimp

Frodo's not a nice one. Hm.

Is there a chapter in his

book about how he's a d*uche?

- [Cristin] This guy really

understands hospitality.

- If it's good enough

for Joan of Arc,

it's good enough for us.

(g*nsh*t bangs)

(birds flapping)

- Not gonna get used to that.

(guitar twanging)

(drums banging)

(guitar twanging continues)

(guitar twanging continues)

(guitar strumming)

- All right, so we're

gonna start in a F sharp,

F sharp minor.

- You mean like uh...

(guitar strumming)

- Don't play that!

We're not allowed to

play the old songs,

remember?

- What? He said F sharp minor.

It's a good song.

- [David] What the

f*ck guys. f*ck!

- Oh sh*t.

- Whoa.

- The next snapped.

How did this happen?

- [Cristin] Oh my God.

- [Timmy] Oh, I brought a

soft case and my guitar broke.

- [David] Will you

shut the f*ck up?

- [Mat] Yeah, bro, come on

man. That's a rookie move, bro.

- [David] I mean,

I have my old one,

but this is my recording bass.

- Hey, if you just

give us like an hour.

It's been, it's been

a minute since we've-

- It's been five years.

- Look, you either

have it or you don't.

- All right.

(sighs) Um, this one's

called "Disgrace."

Timmy, just ride on A and

just Dave, follow along.

- Yeah.

- It's gonna be.

(upbeat rock music)

- What else?

- We didn't even get to the

chorus, it's the best part.

- Then start there.

- All right. Hey, Mat,

we're gonna start in G.

Cristin like dig in

the high hat, right?

(guitar riff blaring)

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy. Not that.

- What? You know Miles

would've loved it.

- He's not here.

(guitar twanging)

Oh, hey, can you just

trust me on this?

- Dude, you just

need to calm down.

I do trust you. Okay, baby?

(guitar twanging)

- All right. You know what?

Timmy wants to play in A.

I guess we're playing in A.

And one, two, three.

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music continues)

- Anything else?

- He really is like the book.

- What do you want us to play?

Ryan just gave you

two good songs.

- It's good. It's fine.

I, I got like, Wheels on

the Bus starts playing

I got, I got more stuff.

- Man, I love being in a band.

Wheels on the Bus

That sounds like a

hit. Let's play that.

- Look, is there like

anything in particular

you want to hear?

- I didn't invite

you here. You asked.

And the last time I checked,

I didn't see a lot of interest

in resurrecting the

careers of a B-list band

that's a decade

past their prime.

- [David] He's not wrong.

- Alright, I'm gonna go

kick that guy in the face.

- It's good.

Hey, listen man, look, I

think I speak for all of us

when I say I'm, I'm

really appreciative

to be here with you and,

look man, we just wanna

make like a really-

- [Tim] Good music.

[David] Platinum.

- Good album here with you.

- Great. Let's do that.

Are you gonna play something

or do you want me

to call the label

to book your flights?

(sinister music)

- No, no, don't call the label.

Um, Timmy, gimme a,

gimme A minor seventh

and then just back to A minor.

(guitar strumming)

Pick it. Pick it.

(guitar music)

- That's good.

- I know.

- All right you guys, we're

gonna do a walkup from D.

Start on the eighth.

Mat, just do a reverse

walkup, but also eighth.

We all start at the

same time, right?

Right?

- Yeah.

- One, two, three.

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music continues)

(upbeat rock music continues)

You're having the time

Of my life

And I loved you

much too late

There are things

I'd like to say

So many things

I'd like to change

(upbeat rock music)

(guitar riff twanging)

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music continues)

- Woo.

- f*ck! Yes.

Oh, that felt so f*cking

good. I love you guys.

f*ck, yes.

- [David] It could

use some sweetener,

but I'm not gonna let perfection

get in the way of good.

- It's not a hit.

- [David] I knew it.

- But you can stay.

Unpack. We'll do a tour in 30.

- [Timmy] Is it just me

or is Charlie out

of his g*dd*mn mind?

- Well, if you read

his book, you'd know

that he likes to play the Guru.

- Well, I don't need

to read his book

because you're regurgitating

the whole damn thing.

- [Cristin] Well,

"Pitchfork" called him

the second coming of Jesus,

but they also called

him an as*h*le, so.

- [Timmy] You're not wrong.

- Hey, listen. Listen.

We all remember the

first album that we heard

that changed our lives, right?

Well, we have an opportunity

to make our version of

that for someone else.

If that means working with

this guy here, I'm all in.

I mean, we either have

it or we don't. Right?

- [Timmy] Do you really wanna

find out the answer to that?

- I do.

- [Cristin] You got it

buddy. Let's do this.

- [Mat] This place look

like it got bedbugs.

- [Cristin] I need to take

a nap. Jesus, let's go.

- [Mat] What if

Jesus was an as*h*le?

(gate creaks)

- This castle was originally

a fort over a 1000 years ago.

And then the French

and the British

fought over it for 300 years.

- A lot of people died

and then Cher wrote

a song in that tower.

- She did actually. Several.

- I'll take Cher Tower.

- Aw, grandpa's trying

to turn back time.

- [Timmy] Do you even

know who Cher is?

- Yeah, I do.

- How old are you?

She was the original punk, man.

She's way more rock and

roll than you'll ever be.

- m*rder room!

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

- [Timmy] That's what

I'm talking about.

- Whoa. How does

this thing even work?

- Hey, that's for the next

time Timmy gives you sh*t.

- Swords. Daggers.

There's a flare.

It's all from a

very long time ago.

- Yeah, I'm good on this.

My therapist says the only

way to peace is peace.

- Yeah. Who needs therapy when

you got one of these, Mat.

- [Mat] You need therapy.

- That ax was actually

used in battle.

First you pierced their

armor, knocking them down.

(vase shatters)

And then you smash their

skull into oblivion.

- We got locks on our doors?

- Yeah, I'd rather get shot.

- What's this?

- Pigeonniere. But

it's off limits.

- Don't go in the creepy

pigeon dungeon. Got it.

- Off limits?

- [Charlie] You'll know if

you need to go in there.

- Yeah, I would be a bird.

(sinister music)

(sinister music continues)

- Hey Mr. DuPont. Is there

like a modem somewhere?

'Cause me and my air mattress

are just gonna crash there.

- Nah, we don't get

internet out here.

- Not even like a 56K?

- A what?

The rest of the

bedrooms are up there.

Oh. And there's no

maids or anything.

So you gotta do

your own laundry.

- [Cristin] You

hear that, Timmy?

You know how to do laundry?

(phone ringing)

- [Voicemail] Hello, you've

reached Alan Albright's office.

We are not available.

Please leave a message.

(tone beeps)

(phone clicks)

(Ryan sighs)

(Ryan sighs)

(pen scratching)

(Ryan mumbling)

(guitar twanging)

(guitar strumming)

(Ryan singing indistinctly)

(Ryan singing

indistinctly continues)

(phone ringing)

(Ryan sighs)

- Back to.

And then some, sometimes.

Sometimes.

(inhales sharply) sometimes.

(soft, eerie music)

Sometimes.

(phone ringing)

(sinister music)

(phone ringing continues)

(flashlight clicks)

(phone ringing continues)

(suspenseful music)

(phone ringing continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

(intense music)

(phone ringing continues)

(sinister music)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(sinister music continues)

(intense music)

(Ryan breathing heavily)

(intense music)

(Ryan breathing heavily)

(pensive music)

(David breathing deeply)

(pensive music continues)

(water splashing)

(footsteps crunching)

(birds cawing)

(bell ringing)

- God damn. This place

is creepy as f*ck.

Especially at night.

- [David] Yeah, I know

it's not the Ritz Carlton

that you're used to,

you think you'll manage?

- [Timmy] You would

love to have my life.

(bell ringing)

- Sit, sit, sit, sit, sit.

Today we begin healing.

- You can't be serious

with all this kumbaya sh*t.

- I brought this.

Spent way too long curating

every genre, style, tempo.

What'd you bring?

- This is so dumb.

- You're here 'cause you

wanna make a hit record.

Create a sound that is new,

that is the sum of more

than just the parts.

You know what I'm saying?

But you can't, you're broken.

And the only way to truly

heal and to find truth

is to take everything that

has happened in the past and-

- Burn it.

- Let it go.

- I'm not burning Liza's photo.

- Ryan, let's start with you.

How do you feel?

- I mean, if this helps

us make a hit. I'm all in.

(CD clatters)

(flames crackle)

- (clears throat)

Just to be clear,

I, I don't know

how to write music,

but if you have a

hit song within you,

I can help you unlock it.

- And if we don't?

- Well, I still get

paid either way.

- Wow. I, I feel

really inspired.

(plastic crackling)

(thunder rumbling)

I cannot believe I burned

a good pair of

drumsticks for this sh*t

Man! I'm doing this

for you, you know?

- Yeah, I know.

- We're all doing this for you.

I don't know.

I just, I don't want

whatever happens this week,

I just don't want it to...

This sounds so cheesy.

I just don't want it

to change us, you know?

I love the idea of just

like throwing ourselves in

and, and trying to make

some good f*cking music.

But, I don't know, as soon

as you involve Charlie

and, and f*cking Alan,

and all that sh*t,

I dunno, man, it just.

(thunder rumbling)

That's just my opinion.

That's just my opinion.

I'm not paying for this.

(rain pattering)

(door creaking)

(footsteps tapping)

(drums beating)

(guitars tuning)

- [Ryan] So, in the

spirit of what Charlie

was saying last night,

I reworked this.

- Homie, you still trying

to make us play "Wishlist"?

- We never even gave it a shot.

- You've been writing

this song for a decade.

- Isn't this Miles' sh*t?

Wait, that's not Miles' sh*t.

- I mean, (sighs) I

didn't hate this song,

but it never really

felt like it fit in

with our, the rest of our music.

I, I don't know.

- Well, can we just try it?

- Why don't you vote on it?

Who here wants to

revive "Wishlist"?

Okay, and who here wants

to unlock a new hit song

by the genius mind

of Charlie DuPont?

(floorboards creaking)

- Charlie. Charlie.

Look, I know I haven't

recorded in a while,

but like, I want us, I

want us to figure out a way

to work together.

- You ever forge metal?

- No.

- Walk with me.

(grindstone whirring)

Weapon making is a dying art.

Back in the day they would

hand batter the steel here.

Now everything is just electric.

- You made all these?

- Made. Remade.

It's kind of like working on

an album, except at the end

of the day, you got a

solid steel k*lling device.

Why don't you uh,

help me with this one?

Go ahead.

Just pull it down.

(saw whining)

Look, Ryan, if you wanna

rehash your old songs,

you can do that.

They got computer programs

and you can have David play

producer in your basement.

- I mean, we're here

for your expertise.

- Whoa. Jesus!

(tense music)

Oh, could have been the end

of your career right there.

Look man, if you want my advice,

you need a k*ller hook,

a sound that no one

has ever heard before.

And watch the bracelets.

(soft, sinister music)

(wind whooshing)

- You know, it's

really pushed it

into perspective for me, man.

Like I've been just

thinking how we only got

so much time here

on Earth, right?

And I mean, we was

on top in '96, man.

We was up there. We

was on doing shows.

sh*t was good, man.

But now I feel like we

starting to come back

down to the ground,

reality setting in.

- You still think we got more?

- I don't know, man.

I mean, of course we

always gonna make music.

That's in our soul, that's

in our heart, that's us.

I just don't know how long

we gonna be doing

it on that level.

I don't know how

long we gonna be

getting invited to

castles and sh*t.

(tape clicking)

(rock music)

Blooming black

lower wine

Slashed arms

And new cut smiles

- [Timmy] Does it bother

anyone else that our least

talented but prettiest face

is the only one who made it.

- Listen, see this right here.

This is our prettiest face

and don't you forget it. Okay?

- [Mat] Ugly as hell. You don't

know what you talking about.

- You know uh, I'm joining Miles

on the second leg of his tour.

- [Mat] What?

- Are you serious?

- The f*ck, bro?

- He saw me filling in for

The Pumpkins last year and...

you would've done the same.

- What?

- Wow.

- What?

- [Mat] That's crazy, bro.

- Don't tell Ryan.

- I'm not gonna tell Ryan.

I think that we should

definitely not tell Ryan.

- [Timmy] Yeah, don't tell him.

- [Cristin] He'll

f*cking come after us

with one these battle axes.

- [Timmy] I thought

you were gonna say

he was gonna come after us

with one of these bad songs.

(group laughs)

(group chattering indistinctly)

(rock music)

(guitar reverberation echoes)

(phone ringing)

(phone ringing continues)

(eerie music)

(phone ringing continues)

(bed creaking)

(flashlight clicks)

(eerie music continues)

(Ryan breathes heavily)

(footsteps thudding)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(sinister music)

(Ryan breathes heavily)

(suspenseful music)

(dramatic music)

- [Ryan] f*ck!

You scared me.

- I used to think this place

was haunted, but it's just us.

- Hey, uh, how much is the label

paying you for this session?

- You don't know?

- I was just asking.

- No, I mean, you don't

know. I don't know.

I usually just ask for

whatever I can get at the end.

- What is that like? 25,000, 20?

- Why are you so concerned

with the label, man?

- No, just...

- Look, I'll tell

you what I tell them.

You can't put a price

on a great song.

If it's a hit.

Everybody gets paid.

(pensive music)

All right. I'm

gonna take a sh*t.

- So we've been, IMing

each other for two years,

back and forth for

the past two years.

Instead of picking up the phone,

we are sending each

other instant messages.

It just doesn't make sense, bro.

- Well, if it's not right,

it's not right. You know?

- No you right. If it's

not right, it's right.

But I still was

sending messages.

(Timmy inhales deeply)

- What does your

therapist say about drugs.

- She says do them.

- How did you travel with that?

- A little tour trick I

learned from the Dandies.

- I'm good.

(Mat inhaling)

- Let's go.

- Shut up.

- Oh sh*t. You know what

we haven't done in a while?

- Oh, I know, I know. Dare

or dare, m*therf*ckers.

- [Mat] Dare or

m*therf*cking dare.

- We are getting weird tonight

boys. Just like the old days.

- [David] Oh, what'd you guys

used to do in the old days?

- Oh, trust me. You

do not wanna know.

It was a different

century. Okay. (laughs)

- Alright. Look, I

dare one of you guys

to break into the pigeon-ray.

- Pigeonniere.

- Pigeonniere. Pigeonniere.

- No, no. Charlie said

we shouldn't go in there.

- Charlie's a rock and roll

producer so he'll understand.

- f*ck, Cher went

into the pigeonniere.

- Nose goes.

Oh!

- Supposed to put your hand.

It's gonna be a great vajournal.

Ayye.

- [Timmy] Oh, he's scared.

Scared.

- He's so scared.

- [Group] Pigeonniere!

Pigeonniere!

Pigeonniere! Pigeonniere!

- Alright.

- [Cristin] In and

out. 30 seconds.

There's no birds

there. You'll be fine.

- [Ryan] All right guys,

this is gonna be real fun.

(door rattling)

(footsteps echoing)

(door thuds)

(lock rattles)

(door creaks)

sh*t is old as hell.

Who would actually

want to live here?

(footsteps shuffle)

(footsteps crunching)

(telephone rings distantly)

(object buzzing)

(footsteps crunching)

Real funny guys. I swear to God.

I swear to God if we don't

record the best album ever

after this, I'm k*lling

you all in your sleep.

(phone ringing)

(Ryan breathing heavily)

Oh my god. Okay.

Think I'm scared.

I'm not scared.

(locks rattle)

(Ryan screams)

(dramatic music)

- [Timmy] What do

mean you saw Miles?

- [Ryan] Look at the tape.

- [Timmy] I am looking

at the tape, homie.

- [Ryan] Look at the tape.

- [Timmy] I'm looking

at the tape right now.

- [Cristin] All right. I

am looking for more drugs.

- Why would Miles be here?

Isn't he on like

a huge arena tour?

- He's not here man. You

didn't even go inside.

- [Mat] Give me my camera, man.

I don't see sh*t, man.

- The ringing?

- The ringing is

called tinnitus.

And I've been telling you

about the gold plated earplugs.

- [Cristin] What the

f*ck you talking about?

- [Mat] What you talking about?

Look, you need a therapist.

- Well, I don't need

a f*cking therapist.

- Hey, Ryan, you

need to calm down.

- [David] Look, if you guys

would've just listened to me,

Ryan wouldn't be

freaking out right now.

(people speak indistinctly)

(ringing tone)

- [Timmy] Ryan, come on.

(eerie music)

(eerie music continues)

Charlie says if we want a hit.

- We gotta find a

k*ller new sound

that no one's ever heard before.

- [Timmy] Yeah. So

what the f*ck do we do?

- I got eight years

of new sounds.

- [Timmy] All right, hit me.

(guitar strumming)

That's, that's like too

Radiohead, k*ller Cars. Come on.

- Okay.

(guitar music)

- You trying to be

The Edge? Come on.

(guitar twanging)

I mean that sounds like

"m*rder on the Orient Express."

- That's a film score.

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

If we're trying to be

anti-everything, then how

are we supposed to do that.

- There's only 12 notes

on the scale, nothing

we're gonna do

is gonna be anti-everything.

- I got something.

- [Ryan] I thought

you didn't write.

- I don't.

These notes are the

same ones that Bach used

in the first cello

suite, the prelude.

- Oh, that's classical.

- Yeah, but no one's ever

heard them like this before.

For the sound it's

more of a mellotron

and less in clavier, you

know what I'm saying?

(upbeat keyboard music)

- Hey, stop. Stop!

This is just. I

mean, this is sh*t.

- [Tim] Look, I

just think we should

just try Charlie's song.

- [David] Yeah, I think people

would f*cking love this.

- Mat, what do you think?

(upbeat keyboard music)

- I mean, it could

be the new us.

- I know it'll be a hit.

Just trust the process.

(energetic rock music)

- f*ck You can already

hear the crowd into this!

(energetic rock music continues)

(energetic rock music continues)

I remember when

It was some da da da

Laughing on a one way train

Mind's trippin'

And I remember when

Ba ba dad

Laughter on the ba da da

The world's flippin.

Heading to the moon

We'll meet you soon

Enjoy the ride

Our world's collide

A tie dye dream

or so it seems

Under candy skies

We'll take it slow

Oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

It's how it goes

Whoa oh oh

We'll take it slow

Whoa oh oh oh

It's how it goes

- It's got the edge

of of Jawbreaker

with a little bit of

Air "Moon Safari".

The kids are gonna love it!

- Yeah, but it's just

bubblegum stuff. It's not us!

- Jesus. You gotta

let that sh*t go.

And get in the water,

baby, it's warm!

I mean, the only thing

I'm worried about

if it's gonna go

platinum or diamond.

(saw whining)

- Jawbreaker and Air?

It's more like U2

and Crazy Town.

- [Timmy] It does not

sound like Crazy Town.

Hey, but if we make Crazy Town

money, I'm not complaining.

(saw whining)

- I just feel like

our 18-year-old selves

would kick our a*s.

(saw whining)

- Do you think I

like playing guitar

for Christina Aguilera?

Why do you think I'm here.

- Timmy, I'm stuck. Timmy!

Timmy turn it off!

- I think we need to-

- Timmy turn it off.

Timmy, please!

- Trust the process.

- Please, help me! Timmy!

(Ryan screaming)

(tense music)

- Trust the process, Ryan.

(Ryan screaming)

(cleaver thuds)

Trust the process, Ryan.

I'm just messing with you.

Unlike you losers,

I actually know

what I'm doing in the kitchen.

- [Charlie] Eminc

de magret de canard,

it's tradition to

celebrate a song

that's on its way

to becoming big.

- [Timmy] Thank you.

- [Cristin] A big song.

That's what I like.

- [David] Hey, what's acid like?

- [Timmy] Ooh, acid is

like walking on a rainbow

wrapped in a blanket of sunshine

while learning about the

meaning of the universe.

- Well, we just recorded a

hit song, so I want that.

- David, don't do it.

- Baby boy's growing on me.

- What? I wanna do it.

- Don't do it.

- Hey, hey. Like Charlie said-

- Don't do it, David.

- Charlie said we either have

it or we don't. And we do.

- Just do one. Just do.

- Oh.

- Okay. So what now?

- This is not gonna go well.

- Yo soy tu papa,

my friend, you about

to go to acid land.

- Bye bye.

- Mm.

This is so good.

- You can thank to

DuPont for the recipe.

Everyone say "Thank

you, Charlie."

Thank you, Charlie.

- [Group] Thank you, Charlie.

(soft pensive music)

- I think mine's talking to me.

- What is it saying, David?

- Hi little fella.

- The slow descent of

a virgin into madness.

(Cristin laughs)

- As an artist...

What scares you?

- Kids.

Love.

- [Timmy] No, you, you

need to move on, Mat.

Come on.

- Love, man, love.

I always have

problems with love.

- Or I can go-

- Not being able to get hard.

- Just don't go there.

The only love you

need is my love to you

and I love you, so

you need to move on.

- You know what I'm afraid of?

Losing our friends

to the hollow

pursuit of success.

- Damn. That's a good one.

- Alright, I can go.

Um, I'm afraid that

uh, I'm just too good

and no one's ever gonna

appreciate my talent.

- Oh my God.

Get your foot out

your a*s. Damn.

- It's the truth.

- [Mat] You always compliment

yourself, every time.

- Charlie, how about you?

- Ryan hasn't gone.

- Being irrelevant,

having everyone

look up to you as

the one who made it

and nothing to show

for it a decade later.

- Okay.

Uh, I am not afraid of

anything except dying.

David, what are you on

and can I have some?

(distorted, creepy music)

(distorted, creepy

music continues)

(group screaming)

- [Cristin] I'm so awesome.

(upbeat electronic music)

(distorted voices screaming)

(everyone yelling indistinctly)

- One trillion dollars.

- I think I'm realizing that,

that, that Charlie is the trip.

I mean, he just comes

in here and he does

like the boom scooby-doo-pop,

you know, and he just

makes us a hit. You know?

It's just-

- Thank you, thank you.

I'm able to take complex

energies that surround all of us

and, and channel them into

smart and aesthetically pleasing

and, and, and, and

beautiful mantras

back to the artist.

- [Mat] It's great, man.

- [David] That

makes so much sense.

- Anybody ever told you

you have Napoleon syndrome?

(Cristin laughing echoes)

(upbeat electronic

music continues)

(distorted music)

(ominous music)

(footsteps crunching)

(footsteps crunching continues)

(lock squeaking)

(suspenseful music)

(door creaking)

(crickets chirping)

(footsteps shuffle)

(door creaking)

(footsteps shuffle)

(eerie distorted music)

(eerie distorted

music continues)

(low, ominous music)

(dramatic music)

- Told you not to be in here.

- [Ryan] What's in there?

- [Charlie] Most people

can't stay in there

for more than a few minutes.

- [Ryan] What do you mean?

- Fine. Open it.

(lid thuds)

It's an anechoic chamber.

I built it to block

out all the noise.

There's no noise,

but there is sound.

You hear the sound of

your blood vessels.

Of your body working.

The sounds of your life.

- Sounds like it'd

make you go crazy.

- It can.

Or it can help you make a track

that your band actually likes.

(lid thuds)

- What the f*ck do you

have against my music?

- I don't have anything

against your music.

- No, you've been sh1tting

on everything I do

since I got here.

- Ryan, I'm here

to make something

that people wanna listen to.

Now, if that's a song

that you wrote, great.

If it's a song that I wrote

and you just happen to sing

on it, that's great too.

- It's gonna be a song I wrote.

(low, ominous tone)

(David breathing heavily)

- [David] Can you hear that?

(David breathing heavily)

- David?

- David!

- I wanna dip my toe

in, like Charlie said.

- David!

- David, no!

(tense music)

- [Timmy] Get the f*ck down!

You f*cking idiot, man!

- [Cristin] What are you

doing, buddy. Come on.

- What the f*ck happened?

- Moved around.

Remember we

celebrating a record.

- Look, I told you!

- The water's not f*cking

warm, it's putrid.

They're trying to take our gift

and put it in a meat grinder.

You're trying to k*ll me.

- [Ryan] You're okay, buddy.

- They're trying

to f*cking k*ll me.

- You're okay.

(David wails)

You're okay.

- See, that's why you never

take more than two tabs.

- [Cristin] Jesus.

- [David] I want to go

home, please! (sobs)

- You are home,

buddy. You're okay.

- What kind of sh*t was that?

- You're home.

You're home, okay.

(David sobs)

Hey, you're home, buddy.

(low, ominous music)

(door creaking)

(birds twittering)

- Come on, get him up.

Hey, welfare check. Get up!

You all right, man?

Bro, you lost your

sh*t last night, man.

You turned it to a

straight exorcist. (grunts)

Bro, first of all, don't ever

take your glasses off again.

- Wait, did I say something

bad about Charlie?

- [Mat] Did you say

something bad about Charlie?

I mean, it's is what you

didn't say, honestly.

You said a whole lot

of sh*t last night.

But most important thing

is you good? You all right?

Come on, get on up, man.

- Yeah. Okay.

I want a beer. We

got songs to do.

I have a bassline to write.

- Guess we're back to work.

I don't know about Charlie,

but I think he might

have unlocked something.

All right, let's go.

- Hey man.

The key to having a great

band is teamwork, okay?

I need you to get

your sh*t together.

(upbeat music)

- Got a little bit

of a deck vibe.

I dig it.

Ryan, come join us.

David's had some

really good ideas.

- Hey, just some hooks,

building off the sound

that Charlie's been pitching.

Hey Timmy, let's work on that

song we were doing earlier.

- Got some fun lyrics

you could work with.

- [David] I'll just

put my beer down.

- They're about second chances.

And when people least expect it

becoming something

important again.

(eerie, discordant tone)

(phone ringing)

(eerie, discordant

tone continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(ominous music)

(Ryan gasping)

(upbeat rock music)

(upbeat rock music continues)

(tinnitus buzzing tone)

(gentle guitar music)

(birds twittering)

(gentle guitar music continues)

(c*ck crowing)

- I'm fine.

- Oh yeah, that's

generally how people

who are doing fine

start a conversation.

You look like sh*t.

- I'm not sleeping.

- Well, it's a creepy

a*s castle. I know.

It must be tough

playing second fiddle

to a fake guru with

no musical ability.

What the f*ck does he even play?

- I don't know.

I guess like success is just

copying whatever bullshit

trends on the radio in

any even given moment.

- Success?

Success, success is

just f*cking random.

It's just, it's,

it's not even real.

It's like based on

a million factors

that none of us

understand or can control.

And it doesn't f*cking matter.

Man, it doesn't f*cking

matter if we all, you know,

if we die famous or, or,

or no one knows who we are,

because we all end up in a

pile of dirt in the ground.

So all we can do while we're

here on this f*cking rock,

just hurtling through space,

is our, our thing,

our own thing.

And it's just art, man.

It's, it's not that

big of a deal anyway.

(guitar twanging)

(drums beating)

- I'm loving these new songs.

- Yes, so cool.

Good stuff, man.

- Anyone seen David?

- Present.

- [Cristin] Oh, good

morning, sunshine.

- [David] Bonjour.

- Charlie, I really

wanna thank you

for giving this

one another shot.

- I think the changes you

made give it a new life.

- [Timmy] Hey, if

Charlie's happy. I'm happy.

- All right, everyone.

And one, two, three, four.

(energetic rock music)

(energetic rock music continues)

- It's got a Pixies vibe,

but I'm not mad at it.

- This is great,

Ryan. I love it.

- All right.

The chorus goes like this.

I know

I can write my

way out of this

Back hole

Back to all the

things that I miss

Sometimes I wonder

if I even exist

Add another line

to my wishlist

- [Charlie] I mean that

definitely has potential.

- [Ryan] Thanks man.

- [Mat] We're back baby.

- It's just too bad though.

- What?

- [Charlie] That

you didn't tell me.

- Tell you what?

(tense music)

- When were you

going to tell me?

- What?

- When were you gonna tell

me the label dropped you?

(sinister music)

- What?

- [Charlie] Listen man, I'm out.

No wonder you were asking

about them every two minutes.

- But just now in

the room, you just,

you were telling me that-

- [Charlie] What are

you talking about?

You've been sitting

here for four hours.

- What about your song? We -

You said that-

- My song?

I'm gonna take my song

and I'm gonna give

it to somebody else.

I don't do this sh*t for free.

I'm gonna go to

Bordeaux for a few days.

When I come back,

y'all better be gone.

- [Ryan] The others

then. Did you tell 'em?

- [Charlie] I'll let

you take care of that.

- [Ryan] You really don't

think any of our songs?

- [Charlie] What do you think?

(low, ominous tone)

(footsteps tapping)

- f*ck!

Agh!

(objects clatter)

f*ck!

f*ck.

(objects clatter)

(Ryan screams)

(Ryan breathing heavily)

(intense tone)

- So that's it. He just left.

- [Mat] It's over.

- [David] Is it bad

my first thought's

at least we got that track down.

- [Timmy] No, it just

doesn't make any sense.

I mean we were just starting

to lay down some good stuff.

Did you say something to him?

- [Mat] He was just telling me

my key line was

like Ryan Wright.

Ain't nobody ever said no

nice sh*t like that to me.

- Did he say

anything else, Ryan?

- [David] I dunno,

I just don't get it.

Are you sure he is not

like in his office?

You know, I'm gonna check.

(ominous music)

- He just said he

was going to Bordeaux

and we should just stay here

and continue to

work for the week.

- [Cristin] Oh, well

that was nice of him.

- [Timmy] Well,

it's quits for us.

- [Ryan] We have a

lot of good songs.

- Yeah, but we don't

have a producer.

What are we supposed to

do without a producer?

Charlie's gone. We

don't have the songs.

What? You don't have the songs?

- Come on.

- You don't have the songs.

- [Ryan] Is that what this is

about? I don't get it, man.

Like since we got here,

you've just been like a knife

in my side the whole time.

- No, it's just that

ever since we broke up,

only one of us hasn't

stopped working.

- [David] Ryan, can we talk?

How long?

And you weren't gonna

tell us anything.

Who's gonna pay for this?

(David sighs)

- The stuff. We

finished the album.

- [David] You better

pray that song we made

is good enough to

get us out of this.

- That song is...

- [David] What?

- It's not ours.

- [David] Bullshit.

I put work into that.

(David sighs)

Then you better lawyer up.

- It's not like there'd

be anything to split.

(footsteps tapping)

- What did the book

say about him leaving.

(zip zipping)

- Hey, don't forget to

take your broken bass.

(David exhales sharply)

- Charlie was right.

You guys are all washed

up and you know it.

- Just leave.

- f*ck you!

- [Mat] Right. That's the sign.

Maybe we shouldn't be here.

- [Timmy] I never f*cking

wanted to be here.

- [Cristin] Ryan. Ryan!

It's okay if you wanna

just call it quits.

- I just need to think.

(tinnitus buzzing tone)

(phone ringing)

(Ryan breathing heavily)

(tinnitus buzzing

tone continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(heart beating)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone ringing continues)

(phone clicks)

(Mat screaming)

(tense music)

(eerie music)

- No, no, please. (panting)

No.

(Cristin gasping)

No.

(Cristin screaming)

- [Mat] All right, see

you man. Come here.

(Mat and Timmy

speaking indistinctly)

- [Timmy] We've never been good.

Our band has never

been the same.

(ominous music)

- [Ryan] f*ck Charlie.

- [Timmy] Look Ryan, I don't

know what you're going through.

- No. We have everything we

need right here to record.

All we have to do is go up.

Just gimme a little time here.

We can go up there, we

can record right now.

- We, we can't record new

songs with a new producer,

but you're having us

record the same old sh*t.

So what are you

gonna tell the label?

- There's no label.

- f*cking known.

You know I dropped a 20 day

tour to follow your a*s here.

- All we need is us, right?

If you just go up

there, you start-

- [Timmy] You f*cking

lied to us. I'm out.

- No, Timmy, look,

we don't need,

we don't need Charlie.

- You were gonna find out

if we had it or we didn't.

- Timmy.

- Looks like you have

your answer, buddy.

- No, please. Timmy, come on.

- Don't f*cking touch me, man.

(tense music)

- Timmy, please.

Come on, please.

- Stop touching

my f*cking guitar.

(Timmy grunts)

(punches thudding)

f*ck you!

- [Mat] Alright,

alright. Come on man.

- You're a one hit wonder

who's gonna live in the shadow

of the one guy who made

this band successful.

Miles.

- All right, all right.

- Get me my guitar.

(Ryan groans)

Okay.

- You know, we don't give

a sh*t about the label.

- I'm already broke, so.

(Cristin sighs)

Man, do you even remember

why we started this band?

- Because we had no

other friends and

our parents hated us.

- Yeah.

But mostly because we

didn't give a f*ck.

And now all you

do is give a f*ck.

- You think he's happy?

- Who? Miles.

I don't know. He's rich.

Does that make him happy?

If you spend your

whole life looking

for validation from someone

else or, or some other sh*t,

I don't know, it's

gonna get to you

and it's gonna break you.

It's gonna break your soul.

- You ever wonder why

Miles didn't take you guys

with him when he left?

Maybe you're just

not good enough.

- What the f*ck, man.

- You ever think about that.

Sometimes I think about that.

- Why would you say

some sh*t like that?

Man, when there was no

tours, we never left.

When years went by

without any offers,

with no fans, we never left.

And now with no label,

we are still here.

- I guess I should be happy.

Then again, where

else would you go?

- Yeah.

f*ck you, man.

I've been there. I've

been there for you.

We're like family.

What the f*ck?

- What? It's just art, right?

It's not that big a deal.

- [Cristin] f*ck this, man.

So, Mat?

Cristin?

Cristin!

Mat!

Cristin!

- [Alan On Voicemail] Hey

Ryan. Alan Albright here.

I can't seem to reach you,

but Charlie told

me what happened.

Look, you're really just

f*cking yourself here.

The label is not

backing any of this.

And now with Charlie upset,

there's liability issues.

And look, you're gonna get

a formal release of claims,

legal stuff, and you need

to sign it, or else it just.

You wanna sign it.

Get yourself together, Ryan.

(pensive guitar music)

(buttons creaking)

(buttons creaking continues)

- f*ck!

(objects thud)

(Ryan screaming)

f*ck! f*ck!

(guitar crashes)

f*ck you!

f*ck you guys.

(no audio)

Liquid smiles

Tell her for

and falling down

Stronger now without you

(upbeat rock music)

Without

Without

(crowd cheering)

(upbeat rock music)

- Thank you.

We have Cristin on drums.

Mat on keys.

Timmy on guitar and

Miles on bass and vocals.

(crowd cheering)

I know, we all love him.

We are Excelsis.

Love crushed from a clock

I hate you so we don't talk

And your teeth make me weak

And you're keeping them from

Me

- [Miles] Hey, I actually gotta

talk to you about some sh*t.

- Not this again.

I know you don't

love the new songs.

There's some actually

good ones like "Wishlist."

- The label offered

me a solo album.

(Ryan laughs)

- I'm serious. It's

like a full budget.

Music videos.

Everything, tour support.

So awesome.

- You told them,

"No", though, right?

We just played the VMAs.

We're getting radio play.

We're exactly getting

everything we've ever wanted.

We're supposed to open up

for Jawbreaker this summer.

- I know. But what the f*ck

would you do in my shoes, man?

- I've written every

song you've ever sang.

- Yeah, I know.

- Told the band?

- Cristin, she's a

studio drummer at best.

She can't keep up with us live.

And Tim's already

doing his own thing

and I don't even know

what Mat does anymore.

- That's f*cking bullshit,

man. You know it.

This is your family.

- I got something new for me.

I mean, the sampling

we've been talking about,

they're doing that.

They're doing it

with Bach. It's...

Remember we always said,

when you get your shot,

you take your shot.

(lid thuds)

Oh!

f*ck. It would've been

the end of your career.

Look man, I, I, I can't

promise it to everyone,

but, why, why don't you come

out on the road with me?

Huh? Just see how it vibes.

See how it fits man.

And this could be

something huge for us.

All right.

f*ck, Ryan.

You know what? I'll

call you in a week, hmm?

Give you till then and...

well the tour bus

will be waiting.

Mom and dad can't

remember if I told you

I'm glad I am, I

finally got to know you

Years from when we met

Back when I left home

And let me sing you sweet

and distant fictions

On lonely nights you

would lay and listen

If you don't like it,

wait till I fix it

Because I know I can

ride my way outta this

Black hole, back to all

the things that I miss

Sometimes I wonder

if I even exist

Just add another

line to my wishlist

If I could fly

Over and under

I think I just might

Stay till I get it right

- [Customer] Excuse me.

Hi, sorry. Do you mind?

Can I get your help

for a second over here?

I just wanna see

something behind the case.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

My son's just picking

up electric guitar

and he just keeps leaving

cables who knows where.

So I just need to pick up a few.

I, but I have no

idea what I need.

- Oh, this is the cheapest.

But I actually

recommend this one.

(guitar clicks)

- Hey Ryan, coming

out to Peace tonight?

- I'm closing.

(colleague sighs)

- Alright.

(curtain rail scrapes)

(door clanking and squeaking)

- [TV] And that's why you

should taste it yourself.

Cheese lovers cheese.

Taste more than one.

- Add another line

to your wish list

with Taco Bell's new hot-

I know I can ride my way

- And spicy chicken burrito.

Out of this

Back to all of this

- It's simmered in Mexican

spices and smothered in cheese.

Ready to make your

taste buds sing.

Just add another

line to my wishlist

- [TV Announcer] Listen to your

stomach and check hungry off

your wish list, with

our rocking menu

and the brand new spicy chicken

burrito only at Taco Bell.

Now this is big.

Find the biggest-
