"The first thing I told you was to fuck off." "Yeah, this is true but the way in which you unloaded your frustration was very respectable." "You looked me straight in the eyes and it's off your chest." "Very few people can do that." "The rest of them internalize and grow a canker sore." "Interesting perspective." "Yeah." "That's what I'm saying." "The perspective, you know?" "Most people are unable to shift the perspective and that ability to shift the perspective is the true power, you know?" "We see someone who's dying of cancer and it's tragic and sad, but we never step back to celebrate the triumph of the cancer or at least give it credit." "I mean you know the little fucker resisted all the treatments and survived the chemo and it won't want to back down and let anything get in the way of its mission." "You know?" "It fucking did what it set out to do." "And that has its place." "I've got to download." "What?" "I've got to take a shit." "Download?" "Yeah, it's those balls you gave me." "Ah Mozartkugel."

"Don't ask me the question I just answered." "You will be safer if you try them on."

"An act?" "The cop." "No." "No." "I was telling the truth." "I'm really Daltonic." "Get the fuck out of here." "Damn." "I can't even get a driver's license." "What color are your shoes?" "Gray." "Gray like everything else." "You hungry?" "I could eat a stuffed camel." "What?" "That's officially the biggest meat in the world." "I didn't say let's get genocidal on our stomachs." "I just figured we should go get some grub." "It's stuffed with goats and beef." "You know, I thought about it a lot." "And you know maybe this is the way the world was meant to be seen." "I mean like me, I mean the way I see it." "That's hardly the case." "I mean you know most people see colors." "You're kind of like a glitch in the system." "Like young republicans or underhung black guys." "So, what else do you do to distract yourself when you're not at the post office?" "I play bass." "How's that going?" "Oh, very fine." "I'm in a band." "Got a name?" "Sisyphus." "Sisyphus?" "Yeah, we make Sisyphus rock." "Sisyphus?" "Sisyphus, you know the guy who was condemned by the gods to forever roll a rock to the top of the mountain where the rock would then fall back of its own weight and roll back down." "I guess they thought there's no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor." "Sisyphus." "I named it." "After a futile laborer of the underworld." "Camus said that, "One always finds one's burden again," and that the struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart." "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." "I'm sure he's having a ball." "So where do you guys play?" "On the weekends we play at and." "Is that a club?" "An intersection, very busy." "We recorded a couple of demos." "It's not the best quality, but all of our friends seem to like it." "Yeah, but that's like deaf and dumb parents applauding their retarded kids." "You know?" "Hm." "Do you want to hear some Blonde Priest?" "Sure, why not." "Is that how you get down?" "Huh?" "Is that how you dance to it?" "What do you think?" "We've got to go." "I've got to bounce." "No, no, no, no." "I've got it." "I got it." "All right." "So this is all residential, which means there's no traffic lights, but you've got to look out for the kids." "Can you drive?" "Woooo!" "Right, right keep it straight." "Keep it straight." "This is super." "Yeah, but you've got to do it right though." "Hold on a second." "Like that." "Now take this hand off the wheel." "There you go." "That's called dipping." "Dipping?" "Yeah, dipping " "Dipping and tripping." "You know what I'm saying?" "I'm dipping." "Yeah, you're dipping." "We've got to bump some shit though." "I have some good shit in here like one of those shits." "Okay." "No, no, no that's not working." "Let's try some of this." "There you go." "Now you're gangster." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Yeah, okay don't do that." "That's not gangster." "True that." "True that." "Okay don't let go of the wheel." "Let's trip up some white people." "Yeah, you do that." "More beat." "Make it bounce." "Yeah it's not that kind of car." "We need to make this right." "Okay nice and slow." "I got it." "I got it." "Just tell me when it's green." "Go ahead and make this right turn." "Careful watch out for the car." "Slowly." "All right keep it straight." "Keep it straight." "You want to make the next right before the intersection." "Fuck, there's a bus behind you." "Just pull over." "Pull over." "Mexicans!" "Pull over." "Pull over!" "Pull over!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Brakes, brakes, brakes!" "What the fuck was that?" "I'm sorry." "We missed the bus." "Sorry guys." "I'm so sorry." "He had interview." "When's the next bus?" "For the job." "When?" "With the manager." "She got excited seeing Mexicans." "Oh, we are from El Salvador." "Same " "Shit." "Shit, yes." "Same, no." "Listen, I'm sure there's a bus every 15 minutes." "Can we give him a ride?" "Where do you need to be?" "The Hotel Sheraton." "The Sheraton?" "That's really out of the way, but I can get you guys there." "Can you fit in the back." "Sure, sure amigo." "I can fit my whole family." "My name is Regis." "This is my son Oswaldinho." "He's the best." "He's like me." "The best." "Oswaldinho, he was away for a couple of years." "He was at the university." "What did you study?" "Oh, he don't like to talk too much." "He, how you say a deep thinker, like his madre." "You know kids now a days." "He make some mistakes, but now he's back and he has a little nina." "Your girlfriend?" "Oh, no, no." "Es su bebé." "Yeah." "I have the picture." "Oh, look at the baby." "Yes, she is very cute and very quiet too." "Varnie, look at the baby." "Yes, he is going to have another baby." "His wife gordita." "Really?" "Oh yes." "She is the best." "Funf." "I'd like three kids." "One of each." "Yes, well you know Oswaldinho, he had to get a job first." "He can become the valet or maybe he can go into the kitchen and help the chef with the dishes and then maybe he can become the engineer or maybe even the chief engineer and then maybe one day the manager." "So what do you do Senor Varnie?" "I'm a designer." "Really?" "Yes." "He is the best." "He make a lot of money." "What about you Regis?" "Me I am the engineer." "My husband is the engineer." "I start as the valet and then I get the tips and then I got the tools, then the pass key and everything." "I am the best." "The call to me on the radio." "They say, "Senor Regis code one."" "I call back and I say, "10-4," like the general then I go and I fix the toilet." "They used to call it the code brown, but then they decided to change it." "What is it that you design?" "Brands." "Why brands?" "How do you go about it?" "Well, you know brands set the tone." "I mean if you go to a museum and see some art the vast majority of people are going to look at the little title card with the artist's name on it before they ever pay attention to the painting" "that's in front of it." "I like expressionists and the wonderful ways they apply gray." "That's where I come in." "With an already built up brand, a productless brand, a brand you could just attach your product to, any product and like that their friends." "Why?" "Because they've got the following the brand came with because see people have always heard of it." "They just didn't know what it stood for." "Anything I might know about?" "Well if you've ever heard of." "I regret that's not too familiar." "Well, I sold that one to a perfum company in the bay area." "Wow." "Right?" "Yeah, I had the whole production going on." "Check this out." "Wow." "And those are a bunch of web sites, a bunch of web sites." "I've got a novel, an idea a preface, a cover design." "Someone just needs to write it." "That's why I'm moving to LA to snag some investors." "I've got a fucking movie." "Daniel Craig starring as Vladimir Putin." "Yeah." "The mad Russian." "Wow." "So the whole world can feel my truth." "Are you on Facebook?" "Fuck no." "Ooh." "What's this?" "Oh, that's an old Russian aircraft carrier converted into a hotel/brothel/casino." "I want to apply for a job there." "But again that could be anything really." "Dude, you are a genius." "But I'm broke and there's a lot of idiots out there making bank." "Like Ben Stiller." "Yeah give me YouTube, some radio time, billboards and I can fill up a sports arena with an audience ready for a concert for a band that doesn't even exist." "Fuck, I'd go." "Right." "Funf!" "What?" "Funf." "I don't know if you're trying to salute the furor or give me a high five." "Yes five, funf." "Funf." "I'm not going to debate you, Nena." "Hipsters are not saving the world." "Fucking mincing around." "You see that little club right there?" "Chill spot right?" "Very fine indeed." "Yeah, well it's very high on the DBS." "DBS?" "Douche bag scale." "Douche bag scale?" "Yeah, I mean look at the facial expressions, look at their clothes." "Looks at those jeans for God sakes." "What is that shit?" "You fart you blow your shoes off." "Do you feel diminished by their shortcomings?" "What?" "What else bothers you about LA?" "Bikers, joggers, Armenian cab drivers, veggie juice, Persians, cops, traffic, bums, TV producers who wear Crocs," "Mexicans who don't speak any fucking English, unemployed actors, all those frozen yogurt places, bums." "What about yourself?" "This is my first time here." "I mean in general." "What's the one thing to date that's disappointed you the most?" "The fall of Troy." "Do you have a girlfriend?" "I go to some games but I'm not a season ticket holder." "I see." "I kind of look at myself like a sailor who's left one shore but hasn't quite reached the other one." "You know what I mean?" "I mean it's like the original ideas that before I drop an anchor, settle down I mean," "I've got to spread my wings first." "Set aside some dough, enough to buy freedom." "Then I'd go to Philadelphia." "Why Philadelphia?" "Because I always wanted to climb those rocky steps." "You know?" "Get to the top, flex, then I'd take a year off, travel, visit every country, stop in every bar and have a drink, then fuck a girl in each country." "That way I could see the world and fuck it." "That's what's up." "You know?" "Most dreams are spawned as an issue really." "Some sort of complex developed at an early age and now you've got a knot sitting in your stomach like a harpooned seal waiting for its grand showdown with the world." "It throbs underneath your skin like a lost and captured moth beating away against the glass over and over again, but you see it's only when we part from it that we grow, only when we abandon our plan A and try to make something" "out of plan B or C or D, you know." "What do we get there?" "I mean." "You know?" "What's along the roadside." "I'm not sure I'll ever stop wondering about girls who pass by." "You know the ones you see for only about a couple of seconds walking down the street, sitting in a car at a red light, playing with their phones in a cafe." "It's for those couple of seconds that your eyes beg you to let you steal more of her." "I fall in love maybe 15 times a day on average and it's those girls, I believe, are all we'll ever know about true love on this earth, in this life." "We are the creatures of appetite." "You like chicken?" "Yeah." "I love chicken." "Until I was 12 I thought they could fly." "My cousin used to refer to me as a fat little chicken." "I also became a member of an animal right group called Kentucky Free Chicken but it turned out to be a fake, a scam." "Is that right?" "Well I'm taking you to Cousin Cliff's." "Yeah." "Cousin Cliff is good." "I ate there before." "They have one in Germany." "I'll be sure to let him know that." "Vicious!" "What's up cuz?" "You could have parked in the rear." "Oh, that's fine." "That's fine." "Who is this?" "Hi." "I'm Nena." "Nena." "Like the band right?" "Yes!" "You know Nena?" "Yes, I fucked the shit out of the drummer." "I think religion is making a comeback." "The internet, Facebook, Twitter." "Even the fucking Pope is going like that shit, follow that." "My dear friend Caspian made a trip to New York to see this shaman who was telling him about" "Jainism, which preaches that there are 30 heavens and seven hells layered throughout our lives." "He was going to teach him how to fly through spheres and hear cosmic bells and shit." "Then he told him which forms to fill out." "I'm serious." "Actually Blonde Priest is just a name of the band." "It's a band." "Is it a German band?" "American actually." "Most of the time it's just one guy with a guitar and the name Priest comes from an old theory that a good joke is like a disguised priest that weds every couple, especially couples whose relatives disapprove." "I'll drink to that." "I'm not even baptized." "I was told that when they tried to baptize me when I was a kid I took a shit in priest's hands." "Well let me tell you something girl you missing out because as one of my clients says," ""Thank God I was raised Catholic because sex will always be dirty."" "Well there's some " "You know what the new religion is?" "Green, environmentally friendly, organic shit, recycling." "Just ignore him." "What if you do everything right, you die and you go to heaven, you get there" "and there's a little old Christian lady, a three-legged dog and that's it." "Their songs are like sex you know?" "They start very shy and then the melody slides in and it's like..." "it stirs your heart." "Making the light burst all over us all and you just want to play it again, over and over and over again." "Then you get sick of it and you have to find a new song." "Thanks love." "Put your hair down you look like a fucking samurai." "What's with this banging shit?" "That's Miyoko's boy." "He's 14 I swear to God he's like tossing it six times a day at least." "I didn't know she had a kid." "He's lost like 35 pounds since they've been here." "Bless her offspring."
