"Well, after 20 years in this job, I must be wrong." "All right, fellas." "Listen up." "First and foremost, when you're in a band, it's supposed to sound like you're all playing the same song at the same time." "Okay?" "What I just heard sounded like five dogs with their cocks caught in a lawn mower." "Well, I thought it sounded great." "I'm sorry, what was your job again?" " I am just trying..." " There's a bodega on the corner." "Go get me a coffee, black." "Anybody else?" "No?" "Good." "And Devil Dogs." "Go." "Now." "Bye." "Where was I?" "You were just telling us how much we suck." "Right, but it's my job to help you suck less." "I trust you're familiar with The Kinks." "Is this a bloody joke?" "That's up to you. "All Day and All of the Night."" " I want you to learn it." " For what?" "To play it for Richie Finestra." "You'll do that plus two originals." " Do the bloody Kinks?" " Why that song?" "Because the vocals are in a range he can handle and it's got a chord structure a monkey could play." "F-G, G-F," "F-B-flat, G." "I mean, The Kinks are all right, but that's just not who we are." "No shit." "But who you are ain't getting signed." "Fuck." "So what do you think?" "I don't know, man." "Come on, man, who are you kidding?" " Do it." " Just do it." "All right, fine." "You all right?" "I can't breathe through my nose." "Well, prop up a pillow or something." "This idiot who rear-ended you, did he have insurance?" "Yeah, he did." "We exchanged information, so..." "Was he a colored?" "What?" "No." "Why?" "'Cause most of them are uninsured." "He was white." "He was..." "I don't know." "He had a German-sounding name." "And the doctor bill, he'll take care of that?" "I mean, it's got to be a pretty penny." "I went to Merv's, honey." " He's not gonna charge me." " Wonderful." "Now I can hear from your sister all through Rosh Hashanah what a prince her husband is." "Okay, and then if he would have charged me, you'd be complaining about that." "Who's complaining?" "I mean, you do realize the rates will go up, right?" "With the insurance." " What?" " The car." "Doesn't matter if he hit you." "They'll raise the rates just the same." "Okay, all right." "I'll call the broker in the morning." "What's he gonna do?" "The broker doesn't make the rules." "Then I won't call him." " What do you want me to say?" " Who asked you to say anything?" "You're peeing again?" " I can't sleep." " Well, don't make a racket." "David's playing Nathan Detroit in the camp sing-along tomorrow." "I swear..."

"Baby, no, I got..." "I just want to go to sleep." "Ernst." " She can't." " Aw!" "Why?" "The baby." "You know why." "She's right." "I'll get you a drink." " Oh, Dubonnet if we're not out." " Yeah." "You will move somewhere with rolling hills and ponds." "What do you need a pond for?" " So the child may fish." " Yeah." "Yeah, listen to me, Ernst." "I didn't fish." "My kid's not gonna fish." " I fish." " You're shitting me." "What do you think one does growing up in rural Virginia?" "I don't know, I just figured you went to, like, cotillions or something." "You are not going back to Virginia." " Oh." " I'll die here without you." " What?" " I don't know." "It's just now when I walk down the street," "I feel like I'm gonna get stabbed or something." " Dev." " I know it's irrational." "It is not irrational." "The city is a hostile environment." "I can see it makes you feel vulnerable." " Before, you were invincible." " Stop speaking." "If you're worried about it, we can move to the Upper East Side." "You hate it up there." "Long Island, Westchester." "He's right." "We should get a house with a fucking pond." "And fish." "What about her work?" "It's not Mars." "I mean, I can take the train in for auditions." "That's it." "I'm gonna get you the biggest fucking house with a pond in America." "Huh?" "Look what you've done." "I'm gonna bake bread." "I'm gonna braid my armpit hair." "You're turning me on." "Give me a hit of that armpit." "Come on." "No..."
