"What do you know about any of those things?" "Move it along, groupie, and take him with you." "You watch your tongue, you filthy mongrel." "This is Faith." "Have a look and grasp the cosmic importance of this lovely young lady." "Without her, there'd be no rock and roll." "Tony talked about you all the time." "He said that you had an uncanny ability to suck killer riffs out of him." "I'm sorry I was such a bitch." "God, I'm--I'm so sorry I fucked your husband." "But you haven't nailed it yet." "'Cause I could be the hammer." "I'm in the middle of an epic shit storm right now." "I fired my manager last week, and I'm all out of cocaine." "Might you be in the market for new representation?" "If you can get me some Peruvian flake," "I'll maybe think about throwing you in the mix." "Here you go, rock star asshole." "It would be an honor to work with both of you." "See you bright and early tomorrow... afternoon." "♪ ♪" "Becca." "I think it's time, Becca." "For what?" "Time you stop this funny business and went back to school." "No, I'm not doing that." "What are you doing?" "I'm living the life of an artist." "Okay, I got it, but what-- what does that mean to you, exactly?" "Because there's a lot more, little missy, to being an artist than just altering your consciousness on a daily basis." "I know, which is why I'm writing on a daily basis." "You are?" "Uh, how many pages you got?" "I'm closing in on three hundy." "Whew." "I'm jealous." "I'm going to finish it, dad." "My first novel." "I hate you." "Do you want to know how many boys I've slept with?" "Oh, no!" "No, no." "That's disgusting." "I'm going through an extremely slutty phase right now."

"Every taste, every smell." "Stop gagging." "You're not my father right now." "You're my artistic guidance counselor." "You can't judge me." "Well, your mom, she can judge you, and she is judging you, and she's worried about you." "She's got way too many issues to handle this shit." "She thinks I'm headed down your path." "What's so bad about that?" "That's exactly what I said." "That's my girl." "Okay, well, I'm not judging you." "But, Becca, promise me that you'll just keep it simple." "You know, get your drink on, keep the pages coming, smoke a little peaches and herb even, but stay away from the hard stuff." "And--and no more of that tasting and smelling." "That's--that's-- that's disgusting." "What about blowjobs?" "Hank!" "Hank!" "We gotta go!" "Thank God." "Charlie, I will go anywhere with you." "You know why?" "Because my daughter is asking me about blowjobs." "Where we off to?" "Atticus needs you aboard Air Force 69 right this very now." "That sounds exhausting." "He's like a retarded rock and roll puppy, that guy." "Will you blow him off for me?" "No, I won't blow him off." "I can't do that." "I won't do that." "He's my biggest client, Hank." "I'm sorry, but he is." "How many records have you sold?" "Are you wearing eye shadow, Charlie?" " Hello, Becca." " Charlie." "I have to take your father" " away from you now." " Take him." "Get him out of my sight." "Do you guys mind if I crash here, do some writing, maybe have a few people over?" "Whatever you need." "I got alcohol." "I got pornography." "I got pictionary."

"Do you know how many songs I've written for this venture of ours?" "No, but, uh, why don't you tell me?" "Zero." "Zero point zero fucking zero." " That doesn't sound good." " It isn't fucking good." " It's bloody terrible." " It's also not true." "You played a song for me at your party the other night." "I wrote that when I was 12 years old." "I was trying to recycle it."

"There are elements in the human body that need to take flight." "Ejaculate's just one of them." "Right, that's what masturbation is for." "Ew, no." "Masturbation?" "Masturbation's for the poor, the downtrodden, the silent unfuckables." "I walk down the street and women present themselves." "They want to extract my fluids." "It's an honor and a privilege, Hank."

"That's sweet." "What does she say?" "Enough about Karen." "Isn't it weird, though, because she works for you?" "I'm paying Karen to remodel my home."

"I would very much like to enter into a relationship with you, one based solely on sexual pleasure and the transference of inspiration." "I'm sorry, Atticus, but the answer is no." "Tony said that you were like a miracle." "When you came into his life, he was blocked and bloated and strung out on China white, and two days later, he had a double album's worth of material." "I would--I would very much like to receive the same benefits, in exchange for which you will experience first-class travel, pharmaceutical-grade narcotics, uh--uh--uh, the occasional trinket, and--and a solid 5.9 inches of--of rock-star penis." "That's from taint to tip." "And it's the high end of average." "Don't believe what you read." "Wow, that does sound like the deal of a lifetime." "But, uh, it's-- it's not really that simple." "Why is it not that simple?" "O-okay." "I'll buy you a German automobile, but that's it." "Atticus, your wife is outside." "Yes, but I slipped her an Ambien." "What?" "That's awful." "Is it?" "Why?" "'Cause you drugged your wife." "She loves drugs." "Look, I'm not actually used to having to ask for sexual favors." "Typically, they-- they just come to me." "I know." "I do." "The thing is, when I throw in with a guy, I go all-in." "That sounds delightful." "I need to know what we're trying to accomplish here." "A rock opera." "About..." "love." "Great." "All right." "Play me something." "You're fucking joking, right?" "I have to audition for you?" "Do you think we'll make it?" "His favorite place to play was Madison Square Garden."

"Okay, land this fucking plane, but if she goes, I go, and you can finish your fucking musical by yourself, you spoiled ginger." "And get your house in order, 'cause your wife is looking for strange." "All right, that's the second time you've laid hands on me, broheme." "The first time, I totally deserved it 'cause I wrecked your piano and your cocaine, but I did not deserve that pathetic little bitch-slap just now." "You know what that calls for?" "Titty twister!"

"Tony!" "Oh, no!" "Well, thank you for standing up for me." "Oh, sure, no problem." "I mean, who wouldn't?"
