00:06:03What do you mean, food, food?
00:06:05I mean, last year I decided no more sauces.
00:06:09Come on, you're from Kansas.
00:06:11You can't betray your roots.
00:06:12Man needs steak sauce.

00:06:26Oh, in Cambodia, I've got this fish sauce that they put on everything.
00:06:30It's amazing.
00:06:32Very hot and it makes your tongue feel like it's disintegrating.

00:07:06You should do that.
00:07:06I'm sorry.
00:07:08I'm sorry.
00:07:09This is great.
00:07:09The best is the story.
00:07:11When I got it, I was this close and I realized that it worked.
00:07:14And all of a sudden, I just got up from my desk and flew to Seattle for lunch and back
00:07:19just
00:07:19to earn my status.
00:07:27What the fuck am I sitting here with?
00:07:36Mary, that was great, man.
00:07:38What the fuck?
00:07:38Like when they soften up the knees in the first?
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:40Those geniuses.
00:07:41Okay, hold on, hold on.
00:07:41I gotta write this down.
00:07:42No, just let's just do it again.
00:07:43Come on.
00:07:43You make the .
00:07:44Now let's do it again.
00:07:45Come on.
00:07:45Keep it from the bottom.
00:07:46Keep it from the bottom.
00:07:46Keep it from the bottom.
00:07:47Keep it from the bottom.
00:07:50Keep it from the bottom.
00:08:04I've been fed up, I mean I've had enough, terror's in my sleep, you know the one I mean.
00:08:18And that's always, it's me from the south.
00:08:30So I was going across campus, I see this one guy with his piercing blue eyes.
00:08:35He's got frosted tips, he's got a lot of gel in it, he's looking like a real, you know, a
00:08:41douchebag.
00:08:42And I said to myself, Anna, you must know this man.
00:08:46I was a scholarship kid, I was dropping 50 bucks on a hairstyle, it's a tool.
00:08:50Shut up. Every girl wanted to be with you and every guy wanted to be you.
00:08:54And we got high just being around you.
00:08:57Yeah, it's because I gave you drugs.
00:08:59That's true. Good point. Speaking of which, um, hello?
00:09:03No.
00:09:04We met that day too.
00:09:07You weren't there.
00:09:08I guess my first impressions don't set rivers on fire.
00:09:11But I'm a slow boil.
00:09:14Come on, I was sexy, right?
00:09:18Say yes.
00:09:20Tonight is all about you, dude.
00:09:23Happy birthday.
00:09:24It's your night.
00:09:25Okay.
00:09:27Tomorrow, Anna.
00:09:28What about you?
00:09:29Oh, good.
00:09:30You guys coming out here is plenty for me.
00:09:33Oh, that is some regal sh**. Cheers.
00:09:36Cheers.
00:09:37I'm here.
00:09:39Alright, check this out.
00:09:41Yeah.
00:09:42Yeah.
00:09:43What is it?
00:09:44Look at that.
00:09:48No way.
00:09:51Oh, man.
00:09:52Looks like you're about to tell him a secret to the universe.
00:09:55I'm still waiting for that one.
00:09:57Yeah.
00:09:58That's later.
00:10:01This is my first bear man encounter.
00:10:03So I'm five, maybe six, and I go into the school bathroom and I see a perfect pile of clothing.
00:10:10There's velcro shoes at the bottom with these socks tucked neatly inside.
00:10:14There were sweatpants folded on top, military style, and on top of it all, a t-shirt.
00:10:21And then I realize, this kid takes shits completely naked.
00:10:28So I figure I gotta get to know this kid.
00:10:30This kid, this is an interesting kid.
00:10:32A couple days later, I see him out in the playground.
00:10:34He's being chased by this a***** kid.
00:10:37What do you call himself?
00:10:37Skeletor?
00:10:38Skeletor.
00:10:39Skeletor.
00:10:39Chasing him around, harassing him with this plastic crossbow.
00:10:43And I wait for the right time, and they come around and I go,
00:10:46F**K!
00:10:47Knock him on his a*****.
00:10:49I stand over him, point to Barry, and I say,
00:10:53That's my best friend.
00:10:55Okay?
00:10:57I didn't even know your name.
00:10:59Oh, wait a second.
00:11:00Wait just one second.
00:11:01This is great.
00:11:01We go on this school trip to D.C., right?
00:11:04And everybody knows Bear Man.
00:11:06He's like the horniest guy in school, right?
00:11:07So he whacks it four times, five times a day, or something like that.
00:11:11And we're all staying together, and so, you know, he's gotta hold off.
00:11:13And he's just getting angrier and angrier the whole trip.
00:11:16And I looked at him, I was like, Barry, why are you so upset?
00:11:20He's like, oh man, I'm just so horny.
00:11:22I'm just so horny.
00:11:23When I get home, I could whack it to anything.
00:11:26And I'm like, anything?
00:11:26You could whack it to anything, Bear Man?
00:11:28Like anything.
00:11:29Anything at all.
00:11:30Yeah, I could whack it to anything.
00:11:31I could whack it to a...
00:11:32I don't even know where he got this.
00:11:34I could whack it to a golden fucking cube.
00:11:37A golden cube.
00:11:39A golden cube.
00:11:40What?
00:11:40Can I please take over the story here?
00:11:42A golden cube because it's floating in space, and it's in a vacuum.
00:11:46It's devoid of any sexuality.
00:11:48It's a competitive challenge.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:49He didn't make that clear.
00:11:51Wow.
00:11:51So I get home, I lay on my bed, and I focus.
00:11:56And I'm picturing this gold cube floating in space.
00:12:02And then I think of Stacy Carter.
00:12:04Stacy Carter.
00:12:05Or some other hot chick.
00:12:06And I stop, I wait, I become fully flaccid, start from scratch, and I do it again.
00:12:12And I did it.
00:12:13You did.
00:12:13I did it.
00:12:14We don't know if you did it.
00:12:15Nobody knows if you did it.
00:12:16I did it.
00:12:16How do you prove that?
00:12:17I guess you just have to trust my word.
00:12:21Hey.
00:12:22Here's to being pathologically honest.
00:12:26Pathologically honest Barry.
00:12:29You be quiet.
00:12:30Shut up.
00:12:31Get in my mouth.
00:12:37Happy birthday to us, right?
00:12:39To you.
00:12:40It's your night.
00:12:43Happy birthday.
00:12:44Happy birthday.
00:12:48That's my terrible birthday song.
00:12:50Yeah, you killed it.
00:12:51Yeah.
00:12:51I need more booze.
00:12:52This is giving me anxiety.
00:12:53Shh.
00:12:54Make a wish.
00:12:59Nice.
00:13:01It's almost time.
00:13:02For what?
00:13:07It's gone.
00:13:08Like 50 down the door.
00:13:11Those looks have closed me in your pipe.
00:13:15Come on go higher.
00:13:1630, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30.
00:13:2230, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30.
00:13:2530, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30.
00:13:25Bring it to 30 now.
00:13:27Ooh.
00:13:28We're walking in the 12.
00:13:30It's very early.
00:13:31It's very early.
00:13:33It's very early.
00:13:35It's very early.
00:13:38I think it's like this.
00:13:51Wow.
00:13:55I forget how many there are.
00:14:02Come on, bright eyes.
00:14:06Okay.
00:14:16I know for a fact you did not know.
00:14:45This cave, it's not just a cave.
00:15:05People have been coming here for centuries.
00:15:08I saw a pack of coyotes standing where you are, just staring in.
00:15:16You're going to the cave.
00:15:20Your deepest desire comes true.
00:15:26Does that mean there's like a genie that's in a bottle in there?
00:15:31No, no.
00:15:33None of that genie shit.
00:15:34See, the genies, they give you what you want.
00:15:38This cave knows what you need.
00:15:40I think I'd rather have the genie in the bottle.
00:15:44I think you'd just like anything that's in a bottle.
00:15:47Shut up.
00:15:50You.
00:15:51Go on.
00:15:52Oh, come on.
00:15:53Travis, please.
00:15:54Come on.

00:15:56Go on.
00:15:58You scared?
00:16:01Yes.
00:16:05Okay.
00:16:06Going in.
00:16:07No.
00:16:10Okay.
00:16:11All right.
00:16:22It's so narrow.
00:16:27Have you been in there?
00:16:38What's that dripping sound?
00:16:44Okay.
00:16:56Are you okay?
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:07Yeah.

00:18:01No, no.
00:18:04Travis.
00:18:12I wonder how I'm built of a room.
00:18:24You could paint it any color you like.
00:18:30Just so long as I can live with you.
00:18:33Hi.

00:18:43Ooh.

00:30:17Shit, what's the bridge?
00:30:20We never found it
00:30:23Really?
00:30:24Yeah
00:30:25Shit
00:30:50I know, I know we said no gifts but I really couldn't help myself
00:30:53I don't know
00:30:55Yes
00:30:57Cool
00:30:57Right?
00:30:58Nice, thank you
00:30:59That's great
00:31:00Try it on
00:31:03I think I got the right size
00:31:05Dude, you look great
00:31:07It's jogging, dude
00:31:08Yeah, you look good
00:31:12Feels good
00:31:13Fits, I love it
00:31:15Open yours
00:31:16Yeah
00:31:18Yeah
00:31:18Yeah
00:31:29I couldn't stand the idea of you having all these songs stuck in your head, so
00:31:36I wanted you to be able to record them
00:31:41Thanks
00:31:48When I was out there on the road, everything felt like a dream
00:31:52It just felt so unreal
00:31:54And then when I got back, it was like everything is too real
00:31:59I feel like I have to choose a path
00:32:03And even if I don't choose a path, you know, that's like choosing a path, so no matter what
00:32:08Exactly
00:32:09It's kind of startling how similar it is to what I've been thinking about the last few years
00:32:13Yeah
00:32:15Yeah
00:32:17You were saying?
00:32:18Oh, I'm just saying that I feel the pressure of choosing a path, you know
00:32:23But I want it to be the right one
00:32:28I know we're all, you know, we're super busy and we really screwed each other over a lot
00:32:35But
00:32:38Fuck
00:32:39I miss you guys
00:32:41Yeah
00:32:42Yeah, yeah
00:32:43Yeah
00:32:44Yeah
00:32:45Yeah
00:32:46I want to know what Barry's thinking
00:32:49What are you thinking, Barry?
00:32:53Uh, I don't know
00:32:54Uh, we gotta stay friends
00:32:57For sure
00:33:00No, I mean in general
00:33:02What are you hoping for?
00:33:06Uh, I don't know, I feel lucky
00:33:11Really, that's all?
00:33:12It's not
00:33:13Nothing else?
00:33:14I mean
00:33:15Well, I mean, I guess there's things that I will want
00:33:17But right now, basically
00:33:20I've got it
00:33:24And honestly, what's cool
00:33:26Is this
00:33:29Stability
00:33:32Um
00:33:34The best part about it is this sense of independence
00:33:38Being a tax attorney gives you a sense of independence?
00:33:46Okay, sure
00:33:47I have partners looking over my shoulder and I'm super busy
00:33:50But I get my work done, I put in my hours
00:33:52And everything's
00:33:55Everything's under control
00:33:57It's, um
00:33:59To me, that's independence
00:34:02Look, there are a lot of pads out there
00:34:04And that can be paralyzing
00:34:05And
00:34:07I'm just happy I found the right one
00:34:21Impressive, you know that
00:34:25I mean, from a Darwinian perspective
00:34:26You're
00:34:27It's impressive, man
00:34:29I get
00:34:30Needing to make a living
00:34:31I do, I get it
00:34:33It's just the way you embrace the whole thing
00:34:35As the one and only path
00:34:36I didn't say that
00:34:38Yeah, you kind of said that
00:34:40No, it's really
00:34:40It's impressive
00:34:41It really is
00:34:43Okay
00:34:44Here's how I see it
00:34:47You got a bag of marbles in front of you
00:34:48And you
00:34:49Reach into the bag
00:34:51And you're thinking, man
00:34:53I'd like a blue marble
00:34:56Blue marble would be great
00:35:00I really want blue
00:35:02You reach in that bag
00:35:04You pull it out
00:35:04Bam
00:35:05Red
00:35:07And you're like
00:35:09Well, that's red
00:35:12That's not blue
00:35:13I really want it blue
00:35:16But you know what?
00:35:17Red's okay
00:35:19Yeah
00:35:19No, red's good
00:35:20Red's good
00:35:21Red's just fine
00:35:24I reach into that bag
00:35:26And I'm looking for the shiny marble, man
00:35:28I'm looking for the shiniest marble in there
00:35:30And I reach for it
00:35:31If I miss it
00:35:32I reach for it again
00:35:33And I reach for it again
00:35:34Because I'm going to get that fucker
00:35:36Okay
00:35:37Maybe you just pass up a bunch of perfectly good marbles
00:35:39Because it's not exactly what you pictured
00:35:42Okay
00:35:43Now we're talking
00:35:44All right
00:35:46Whatever
00:35:46I didn't mean that
00:35:48No, I think it's the first thing you meant all weekend
00:35:50Hey, maybe you're right
00:35:51Maybe if we went with the jackass manager
00:35:53It would have been our ticket
00:35:54That jackass manager?
00:35:56He's worked with some serious bands
00:35:58Okay
00:35:59Have you seen what he's done for Marvin Taylor's band?
00:36:02Or the Resistance?
00:36:03Resistance?
00:36:03You mean the Connecticut suburbanites
00:36:05Who, uh, think they're Che Guevara?
00:36:08Well, they're still together
00:36:09They do suck
00:36:11They do suck
00:36:12They suck
00:36:13They sit there singing about
00:36:15La Revolucion
00:36:16With a wink and a smile
00:36:17And their hands
00:36:19Well, they put out another album, so
00:36:21Good for those clowns
00:36:22I'm happy for them
00:36:22Makes me feel like anything's possible
00:36:24I'm just saying
00:36:25They make a living
00:36:25Yeah, I'm just saying
00:36:26I don't want to hear about it
00:36:32No, do you
00:36:33No, no
00:36:34Don't
00:36:35No, excuse me
00:36:35Do you know how hard
00:36:36Anna worked to get us hooked up?
00:36:39Do you have any idea?
00:36:41Yeah, she pounded the pavement
00:36:42I get it
00:36:42No, no
00:36:43No, you don't get it
00:36:44Okay?
00:36:45She worked her ass off
00:36:46Because we had a chance
00:36:47A chance?
00:36:48A chance?
00:36:48Yes
00:36:49Well, what?
00:36:49That guy would have watered down our sound
00:36:50Before we even knew what our sound was
00:36:52You don't have a sound
00:36:54If you can't pay your rent
00:36:55You compromise one thing
00:36:56You compromise everything
00:36:58Man, the great bands
00:36:59The really great bands
00:37:02They struggle
00:37:04But I don't think you have that in your DNA
00:37:06What is with your mixed metaphors
00:37:07And your evolutionary
00:37:09And what's so bad
00:37:12About being a decent working band?
00:37:13I didn't go through all that shit
00:37:15To make something decent
00:37:16Look, none of us
00:37:17Were ever going to be
00:37:17John effing Lennon
00:37:19Okay?
00:37:20And maybe you're still holding on to that
00:37:22And while there's something
00:37:23To be said about dreams
00:37:25And what we're told as children
00:37:26That we can do and achieve anything
00:37:28It's also kind of a huge
00:37:29Why?
00:37:40So what?
00:37:42You've moved on?
00:37:44Yeah
00:37:45Yeah
00:37:45I mean, we gave it a few years
00:37:48Okay?
00:37:49I had to find a real profession
00:37:50Music's a real profession
00:37:51Yes
00:37:51Look, man
00:37:52If you would have just told us
00:37:53That you were applying to law school
00:37:59You would have talked me out of it
00:38:00Oh, I'm that convincing?
00:38:01Maybe I should have been the fucking lawyer
00:38:03It was shitty when you left
00:38:05It was
00:38:06Excuse me
00:38:07No
00:38:08Excuse me for once
00:38:09That I made a decision
00:38:10That was for the benefit of myself
00:38:14Mary
00:38:19Soaking up the good times
00:38:20Thanks for having us, Travis
00:38:21You need to do something good, man
00:38:23Something real
00:38:24Me?
00:38:25Me do something real?
00:38:27That's actually very funny
00:38:28Coming from you
00:38:29I'm a productive member of society
00:38:30What do you do?
00:38:31I'm not some loner
00:38:32Losing his mind out in the fucking desert
00:38:37I need to tell you something
00:38:42Come with me
00:38:53My uncle liked to look up at the sky
00:38:58Nearly any couldn't take my son
00:39:10He wasn't an easy man
00:39:14But we understood each other
00:39:22When I left New York
00:39:25I knew I was coming here
00:39:28And when I arrived
00:39:32He'd been expecting me
00:39:35He loved listening to me play
00:39:38And I loved watching him listen
00:39:41And one afternoon
00:39:42I was playing
00:39:44And I looked over at him
00:39:52And he was just staring
00:39:57Up
00:40:01Quiet
00:40:16I went outside and I
00:40:19Burned all my songbooks
00:40:22And my lyrics
00:40:24All that
00:40:27Finally it had a purpose
00:40:37So maybe you're right
00:40:42What I've done
00:40:46I can't pay my mortgage with it
00:40:50Won't get me on any magazine covers
00:40:57But helping a man die
00:41:05What is that worth?
00:41:08It's like a thousand
00:41:11A hundred thousand
00:41:17It's like a jam outside
00:41:20You can't put a dollar sign on it
00:41:26This place has so much
00:41:29Spirit
00:41:30It has its blessing
00:41:34We start our album
00:41:35Here
00:41:37Our songs are gonna break people
00:41:39Wide open man
00:41:40Listen
00:41:41I know it's what you want
00:41:42You brought the recorder
00:41:45I mean
00:41:46I've definitely written some new songs
00:41:49While I've been here
00:41:50Yeah
00:41:51That'd be cool
00:41:52I'd be down to try it out
00:41:53I was thinking we'd
00:41:55Do something together
00:41:58Or if we can start with
00:41:59What we have
00:42:00Nah I was thinking
00:42:01We should start with something new
00:42:02Right?
00:42:04New right?
00:42:08What?
00:42:11It's always on your terms
00:42:13What?
00:42:14Forget it
00:42:15What?
00:42:18Whoa
00:42:19What?
00:42:19All of us
00:42:20Together
00:42:22This is too much for me
00:42:23Too much
00:42:25Too much is a good thing
00:42:27I live for too much
00:42:31All of us
00:42:31We're here right now
00:42:32The band's together
00:42:33This is the band
00:42:34No
00:42:34There's no band
00:42:36There's no band
00:42:37Man
00:42:39There's not gonna be a band
00:42:40Again
00:42:44I have a home
00:42:45I have a career
00:42:46A wife
00:42:51This is a fantasy
00:42:54This is a fantasy
00:43:07Travis
00:43:10Travis
00:43:11Okay
00:43:17Fuck
00:43:19You know what?
00:43:20This is my fault
00:43:24This is my fault
00:43:24I said some dumb shit to him
00:43:26I sang
00:43:27I got him the recorder
00:43:28And this morning
00:43:28I asked him to play guitar
00:43:30In my band
00:43:32Bet that would work out real well
00:43:34It would be good for him
00:43:36For him, exactly
00:43:37You know what, Barry?
00:43:39You left
00:43:40I was in the hospital
00:43:41When he was recovering
00:43:43You stopped returning
00:43:44His phone calls
00:43:47You left too
00:43:48You left the country
00:43:53He wouldn't talk to me
00:43:55He needed you
00:43:56And I needed to start my life
00:44:00You know something?
00:44:01You never even given me
00:44:02A fraction of this concern
00:44:05What?
00:44:06Don't
00:44:07Don't what?
00:44:08Barry
00:44:09You're happy
00:44:11You're well adjusted, man
00:44:13And what's wrong with that?
00:44:14Do you know what your problem is, Anna?
00:44:17You don't want what's good for you
00:44:21And if you were single for longer than a nanosecond
00:44:23You'd have a little bit of perspective
00:44:24Retroenter
00:44:24It makes you feel
00:44:27And what happened
00:44:30You're never sure
00:44:31And what you were able
00:44:35And what you was bones
00:44:53You can hear
00:44:54You don't really think that, do you?
00:45:02What about hedge fund guy?
00:45:04Oh, Barry, that's...
00:45:08Guy was a rebound.
00:45:09How am I supposed to feel about some rich dude tossing you around before you have Olympic sex?
00:45:13Who said that?
00:45:14You did.
00:45:16Fuck.
00:45:18For your information, I've become a pretty good lover.
00:45:23Nobody's doubting you.
00:45:31Sing Driftwood for me.
00:45:36Please.
00:45:40Sing my song for me.
00:45:53I only know him a little now.
00:46:05But it only takes a little.
00:46:13For him to break down.
00:46:22And she's...
00:46:26Reeling and wanting him more.
00:46:33Now she can't remember...
00:46:37Now she can't remember...
00:46:39What all these drugs are for.
00:46:43Poor.
00:46:49She only wants...
00:46:53Sanity.
00:47:02Then that song's about Travis.
00:47:13What?
00:47:27Janice.
00:47:31No.
00:47:32No.
00:47:35No.
00:47:37No.
00:47:37No.
00:47:38No.
00:47:39No.
00:47:41No.
00:47:42No.
00:47:43Oh, my God.
00:48:14Harry, are you good?
00:48:18Screw good.
00:48:21Good doesn't work for you.
00:48:28Only an asshole can hold your attention longer than two weeks.
00:48:33You both said it was a mistake.
00:48:37And then you thought, you know what?
00:48:39Maybe I'll start screwing Travis again.
00:48:47You and him in a bathroom stall
00:48:52while I was waiting for you.
00:48:56That's Stella's...
00:48:57Barry, come on.
00:48:59Even then, I thought, you know what?
00:49:01Maybe she's just working something out.
00:49:05Maybe she just needs the time.
00:49:07Hey.
00:49:09Hey, you were like my brother.
00:49:14I know.
00:49:15You just want me to grab you like this, right?
00:49:18Is this what you wanted?
00:49:19I should have grabbed you like this.
00:49:21Stop fucking laughing at me.
00:49:23Stop!
00:49:25Because this is what you respond to, right?
00:49:27This is what you want.
00:49:30I know what I'm going to do.
00:49:33I know what I'm going to do.
00:49:36I'm going to fuck you like a psychopath.
00:49:39I'm going to fuck you so that you forget his name.
00:49:41I'm going to fuck you so that you forget every song about me.
00:49:43I'm going to fuck you so you don't want me.
00:49:45I know what I'm going to do.
00:49:52I'm going to fuck you so you don't want me.
00:49:52This is...
00:49:55Mary, don't, Mary.
00:50:01Mary!
00:50:07You're fucking drunk!
00:50:12You're going to the cave?
00:50:14Your deepest desire comes true.
00:50:17No, really.
00:50:40Hey, Barry, are you okay?
00:50:44Hello?
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:48Listen.
00:50:50You're drunk and confused, I get that, okay?
00:50:57Okay?
00:51:03Good night, Barry.
00:51:09Good morning, Barry.
00:51:25Hey, I'm sorry.
00:51:27All right.
00:51:31I'm sorry.
00:51:33I'm sorry.
00:51:34I don't know.
00:52:05I don't know.
00:52:43I'm sorry.
00:52:44It's just a bad dream.
00:52:45I'm sorry.
00:52:50Wait, wait, wait.
00:52:52Don't go.
00:52:58Don't come in.
00:52:59Don't talk about it.
00:53:00Just stay.
00:53:02Just stay.
00:53:03Stay.
00:53:14What's the dream?
00:53:21Am I doing something awful in it?
00:53:25Or is it about him?
00:53:31It's about me.
00:53:37Do you think that Travis went to the cave?
00:53:42Do you think it works?
00:53:43Yes.
00:54:10Everything's gonna be okay.
00:54:20I'll make you eggs in the morning, just the way you like them.
00:54:28Then we'll go home.
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:35Get some sleep.
00:54:41Okay.
00:54:51Okay.
00:54:54Okay.
00:54:58Okay.
00:55:06Okay.
00:55:09Okay.
00:55:11Okay.
00:55:18Okay.
00:55:19Okay.
00:55:26Okay.
00:55:30Okay.
00:55:58Oh, my God.
00:56:01Oh, my God.
00:56:31Just...
00:56:39Mary...
00:56:42I'd ruin you.
00:56:44I'd ruin you.
00:57:14I'd ruin you.
00:57:33I'd ruin you.
00:57:50I'd ruin you.
00:58:04I'd ruin you.
00:58:16I'd ruin you.
00:58:31I'd ruin you.
00:58:34I'd ruin you.
00:58:36I'd ruin you.
00:58:37I'd ruin you.
00:59:06I'd ruin you.
00:59:09I'd ruin you.
00:59:09I'd ruin you.
00:59:11I'd ruin you.
00:59:28I'd ruin you.
00:59:30I'd ruin you.
00:59:45I'd ruin you.
00:59:51How about your night, Barry?
00:59:55Yeah. It was fun.
00:59:58You got nicked up good there, partner.
01:00:01I had an encounter with the counter.
01:00:06What else did you guys do last night?
01:00:08We hung out, okay?
01:00:11Something wrong, brother?
01:00:12I guess the night didn't go as planned.
01:00:14Oh. Things not going according to plan for Barry.
01:00:18Wow.
01:00:19Tell me more.
01:00:20I thought we came here to hang out.
01:00:23I thought we were being truthful.
01:00:26Is this what you wanted?
01:00:27I should have grabbed you like this.
01:00:29Stop fucking laughing at me.
01:00:31Stop!
01:00:32Oh, my God.
01:00:33I know what I'm going to do.
01:00:35I'm going to fuck you like a sicko man.
01:00:37Travis.
01:00:38Fuck you, sir.
01:00:39Travis, give me that.
01:00:41Give it to me.
01:00:42I had to cool down.
01:00:44I thought I'd see if you two were getting along.
01:00:46You asshole.
01:00:47You should have told me if you wanted to write the first song together.
01:00:49Just stop.
01:00:50Please stop.
01:00:52Which one of you is doing that?
01:00:53Would you please stop?
01:00:54That psychopath line?
01:00:55That's a good one.
01:00:56I'm going to have to use that.
01:00:59You're fucking drunk!
01:01:00You're staying here tonight.
01:01:01We're making that album.
01:01:02Jesus Christ.
01:01:04Where are you going?
01:01:08Travis?
01:01:12Travis.
01:01:14Listen, man.
01:01:16Look, we're all exhausted.
01:01:17Let's not be idiots.
01:01:18Just give me the rest of my shit back.
01:01:19Stay.
01:01:21I've got a flight.
01:01:22Change it.
01:01:23I can't just change my flight.
01:01:24Use your miles.
01:01:26Come on, man.
01:01:29I've got work tomorrow.
01:01:31Call in sick.
01:01:32Julie's expecting me.
01:01:33She's expecting me to call now.
01:01:35We talk every morning.
01:01:36Well, you're going to have to give her the latest update.
01:01:38Or I can.
01:01:39Stop!
01:01:40Is this your new method of seduction?
01:01:44Come on, take a shot.
01:01:46Be careful.
01:01:47You know who wins a fight, don't you?
01:01:48Not the strongest or the tallest, but the craziest.
01:01:53I got you beat there, although I think you're catching up pretty quick.
01:01:57Should I punch him in the other eye, or do you think it's just going to turn him on?
01:02:02Yeah.
01:02:05Yeah!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:09Barry, that's pure, man.
01:02:11That is honest animal rage.
01:02:15You feel that?
01:02:17Right?
01:02:19The three of us, when we're apart, we're just children.
01:02:21We're making a mess of things, but together we're like a 90-year-old desert guru.
01:02:27No, fuck that.
01:02:28It multiplies.
01:02:29We're 30 times 30 times 30.
01:02:30What is that?
01:02:31What is that, Barry?
01:02:33Who cares, man?
01:02:34Count it up.
01:02:3430 times 30.
01:02:35That's 2,700.
01:02:37It's 27,000.
01:02:382,700-year-old man.
01:02:41We're older than Christ!
01:02:44We're older than Socrates!
01:02:45We're older than fucking Buddha!
01:02:49So let's do it.
01:02:50Let's take that right here.
01:02:52Let's make the album.
01:02:53Three Nights in the Desert.
01:02:55I don't even play anymore, man.
01:02:57That's great.
01:02:59That's great.
01:02:59The nameless is the eternally real.
01:03:01You're making artistic choices and you don't even know it, man!
01:03:04Look, Travis.
01:03:06Listen.
01:03:07Give us our stuff back.
01:03:09I'll go home.
01:03:10We'll chalk this whole thing up to desert fever.
01:03:14Come on.
01:03:16When I get back, I'll call you and we'll talk about the idea for the tour.
01:03:22I know it's nuts, but the offer still stands.
01:03:26I don't need a sympathy job.
01:03:28It's not a sympathy job.
01:03:29It's a real gig.
01:03:31Money.
01:03:33And I can't.
01:03:37I don't want to get into it.
01:03:40Come on, Travis.
01:03:42Say it.
01:03:48I don't like your music.
01:03:52I don't.
01:03:56You took the stuff we were working on and you...
01:03:59you popped it up.
01:04:01You put a syncopated dance beat to it.
01:04:03You sugar-coated it.
01:04:07Digestible.
01:04:08Not you.
01:04:12Hey, but it was your big break.
01:04:13I get it.
01:04:16You know what?
01:04:17You think you're a genius?
01:04:20You're just talented.
01:04:23I might not be reinventing the form,
01:04:25but at least I've done something.
01:04:30You asked me.
01:04:32This is what you do to your friends?
01:04:36What does it take to get your approval, man?
01:04:39She nursed you in the hospital for three months
01:04:42after your doped-up ass wrapped a car around a tree.
01:04:44Okay.
01:04:45Her whole album is about you.
01:04:46I know that.
01:04:52I'm done.
01:04:54I want to go home.
01:05:08Why are you screaming in the night?
01:05:09Come on, Travis.
01:05:11Please.
01:05:12I just want to go home.
01:05:14I know how powerful it is.
01:05:18I gave my uncle everything,
01:05:20and he showed me that place in return.
01:05:23Please, I just want to get out of here.
01:05:25There's plenty of time before your flight,
01:05:27so go back in the cave, figure things out.
01:05:31You know what you need to do.
01:05:32You know what you need to do.
01:05:41Okay.
01:05:44Okay.
01:06:05So, uh,
01:06:07there's one thing you should know before you go in.
01:06:11I used your phone to email Julie the recording.
01:06:15Julie, right?
01:06:16Yeah.
01:06:16No, you didn't.
01:06:17I'm not joking.
01:06:18Yes, you are.
01:06:19No, I'm not.
01:06:19Yes, you are.
01:06:20I am?
01:06:21Yes.
01:06:22I think I am.
01:06:22I don't know.
01:06:23Confusion.
01:06:24Uncertainty.
01:06:25That's what you need when you go in there.
01:06:28You got what you wanted the first time.
01:06:34Stupid.
01:06:36Stupid.
01:06:39What did she see when you went in there?
01:06:49Happy?
01:06:50Are you?
01:06:51I'm swell, partner.
01:06:53Oh, yeah?
01:06:53Yeah.
01:06:54Well, then I want you, the pathologically honest,
01:06:56to look us in the eye
01:06:57and tell us that you're completely happy with your life.
01:07:00Okay.
01:07:01I'm happy.
01:07:02Look at us.
01:07:04All right, guys.
01:07:06Listen, I'm happy.
01:07:08Are you happy?
01:07:09No.
01:07:09Huh?
01:07:10Are you happy?
01:07:11I'm happy.
01:07:11Happy, happy, happy.
01:07:13We're all happy.
01:07:13I'm not happy, but I want you to say
01:07:15that I'm completely happy with my life.
01:07:19I'm completely happy with my life.
01:07:22I'm completely happy with my life.
01:07:25All right, Rockwall, hi.
01:07:26Rockwall, I'm completely happy with my life.
01:07:29How are you today?
01:07:30Are you happy with your life?
01:07:31That's not going to cut it, man.
01:07:33I'm completely happy with my life.
01:07:35Better now?
01:07:35No.
01:07:36No.
01:07:36All right.
01:07:37This is fucking ridiculous.
01:07:45You think I don't love Julie?
01:07:46And you tell me you never had a doubt?
01:07:48What do you know about choices?
01:07:49What do you know about marriage or commitment to anything that's actually attainable?
01:07:52What about you, man?
01:07:53I mean, you could train yourself to want anything.
01:07:55A golden fucking cube.
01:07:56That was a joke.
01:07:58You know what wasn't a joke?
01:08:00What happened last night.
01:08:02Okay.
01:08:03I screwed up.
01:08:04I'm disgusting.
01:08:05And that's something I've got to work out within myself.
01:08:07I'm not judging you, man.
01:08:10Do you know why I didn't invite you to my wedding?
01:08:14It wasn't because I was afraid you'd make a scene or steal Julie.
01:08:18No.
01:08:19I was afraid you'd say she's boring because you're so judgmental.
01:08:24Or you'd say she's nice.
01:08:26Or you wouldn't say anything at all because you're so fucking judgmental.
01:08:30Barry.
01:08:31I saw the world through your eyes for way too long.
01:08:33And I made a choice.
01:08:35I wanted something different for my life.
01:08:37Man, I get it.
01:08:38You know, it's biological, I think.
01:08:40You know, at a certain point you're supposed to stop hanging out with friends.
01:08:44Yeah, you're supposed to become a functioning member of society.
01:08:46You're supposed to churn out babies and punch fucking numbers and ride the train and cash in.
01:08:51Yeah, baby, I get it.
01:08:53You have no place to go, do you?
01:08:56I'm completely happy with you not in my life.
01:09:00Yeah.
01:09:01You're an asshole.
01:09:03Yeah, I'm a fucking asshole.
01:09:04Hannah?
01:09:04The world needs fucking assholes.
01:09:10Anna.
01:09:10Anna, wait.
01:09:20Anna.
01:09:23Anna.
01:09:25Travis!
01:09:33Travis!
01:09:34Travis!
01:09:36Travis!
01:09:37Travis.
01:09:38Oh, I'm good.
01:09:39I'm fine.
01:09:40I'm fine.
01:09:40I'm fine.
01:09:41I'm good.
01:09:47This is what I dreamed.
01:09:52The cave.
01:09:54I wanted you to hurt.
01:09:58I wanted you to hurt like I've hurt.
01:10:02This is what I wanted.
01:10:05It is.
01:10:06No.
01:10:07No.
01:10:08No, Anna.
01:10:08It is.
01:10:09No.
01:10:10It is.
01:10:11I made it up, okay?
01:10:12I made up the whole cave thing.
01:10:15I thought it would be cool and mysterious.
01:10:16I thought it would...
01:10:19I thought it would make us miss each other.
01:10:29I don't care about the cave.
01:10:32I don't care.
01:10:34This is what's real.
01:10:35I know.
01:10:37When you were in the hospital recovering, those were the best moments of our relationship.
01:10:45You looked at me like you needed me.
01:10:52I need to tell you something.
01:10:55Both of you.
01:10:59Tried writing, calling.
01:11:02You were going to move halfway across the country.
01:11:05And, uh, I was losing it.
01:11:09Yeah, I was huffed up on pills and...
01:11:13Yeah, it was dark.
01:11:19But I saw that tree.
01:11:24I saw it.
01:11:35It was telling me to hit it.
01:11:41Hit it and I'd be redeemed.
01:11:43We'd...
01:11:44We'd all be redeemed.
01:11:52It was music.
01:11:55I was listening.
01:12:02I went for it.
01:12:09I went for the shiny fucking marble.
01:12:14I went into it.
01:12:29I was building it.
01:12:32I was doing it.
01:12:32I was looking for a miracle.
01:12:35All the way.
01:12:40I was trying to...
01:12:41I bet I had...
01:12:43I was trying to make a miracle.
01:12:46I was looking for a miracle.
01:12:46My days and breaks a place
01:12:48To call from acts of above
01:12:53To be your
01:12:55Would it be
01:12:57I'm sorry
01:13:06One night a magic rush
01:13:09The start a simple touch
01:13:12One night to push and scream
01:13:15And then we're in
01:13:17Ten days of perfect tears
01:13:20The colors red and blue
01:13:22We had a promise made
01:13:28Back in the day
01:13:30I thought I was a Jaguar
01:13:32Doing a hundred down the freeway
01:13:37And you
01:13:39You were a beat up old Toyota
01:13:41Not exactly sure where you were heading but
01:13:45I had the feeling that
01:13:47When you got there
01:13:50You'd stay
01:13:54And now
01:13:55Shit
01:13:58You got somewhere
01:14:02Man you could trade it for a whole fleet
01:14:06You should see my bills
01:14:34You're good
01:14:35You're good
01:14:39You went back to school
01:14:40And put in the time
01:14:46Now you're set to reap the rewards
01:14:51Maybe in my next life
01:14:52I'll come back as a hard working Jew
01:14:56There's some people that might find that offensive
01:15:01Yeah
01:15:04I'm just glad you found what's right
01:15:06For you
01:15:15You remember the way back right
01:15:16It was just one road
01:15:26You want to know why I never win that cave
01:15:31I was afraid to find out what I needed
01:15:35I thought you made it up
01:15:41Yeah
01:15:43Yeah
01:15:44Yeah
01:15:48Yeah
01:16:50I knew that look.
01:16:53He was deep back in it.
01:16:59I kept thinking about the cave.
01:17:02Maybe we did get what we needed that weekend.
01:17:06We finally let go.
01:17:10Travis used to say, it's all a song.
01:17:13We never did find that bridge.
01:17:17Maybe one day we will.
01:17:47We did find that bridge.
01:17:48We're bringing it to you.
01:17:49You can't resist because my love's got a half-life.
01:17:55And one by one it's seven, seven times.
01:18:01And the dealer whispers into your ear.
01:18:06You better bet it all.
01:18:10Whoa.
01:18:15Whoa.
01:18:18Whoa.
01:18:22Whoa.
01:18:27Whoa.
01:18:33The dream catch awaits right over your head.
01:18:38You can't resist because my love's got a half-life.
01:18:43And we are one, the sisters sing on high.
01:18:49When the wind whispers into your ear.
01:18:53You better bet it all.
01:18:58Whoa.
01:19:03Whoa.
01:19:09Whoa.
01:19:14Whoa.
01:19:15Whoa.
01:19:18Whoa.

01:19:20Whoa.
01:19:20Whoa.
01:19:20Whoa.
01:19:20Whoa.
01:19:21the long division in your head. You can't resist because my love's gotta have life.
01:19:31You carry the ones that remain for far too long. And the spheres whisper into your ear.
01:19:41You better bet it all.
01:19:55Let love, let love, let love.
01:20:10Let love, let love, let love.
01:20:21Let love, let love.
01:20:28Let love, let love.
01:20:40Let love, let love.
01:20:52I've been in the grips of La Brea pigs
01:20:59Intimately acquainted with T-Rex
01:21:05Tyrannosaurus rex
01:21:12I've been fed up
01:21:14I mean I've had enough
01:21:18Terrors in my sleep
01:21:20Where I can't speak
01:21:25You know the one I meet
01:21:29And that's all
