"Toronto we love you." "Let's hear you scream for yourselves." "Go!" "People, you gotta fucking scream for yourselves." "Go!" "Say "I'm sorry!"." "Everybody say "I'm sorry" on the count of three; 1, 2, 3..." "I'm sorry." "Say it again. 1, 2, 3..." "I'm sorry" "Say "I still fucking love you". 1, 2, 3..." "I still fucking love you." "Alright, just so you know, I thought the show ended a couple songs ago but..." "Alright let's go!" "Go!" "Well you're like a... cow" "I woke up this morning next to Carloine Rush." "July 11th, 2009." "I woke up this morning next to Caroline Rush." "You know what that means?" "I went to bed last night with Caroline Rush." "I never saw that coming." "Well I mean, I always saw it coming of course, since forever, but this morning..." "This was no dream." "To the sweet smell of rotting garbage and spilled wine." "And to the distant buzz of racecars and a swarm of killer bees." "To the morning sun, I woke up in bed next to Caroline Rush." "Do you have any soap?" "What?" "Soap." "Uh yeah, uh hold on." "Here, I've been using this so..." "This is shampoo." "It's a different kind of soap." "You can use it all over." "I also have... uh, that's stupid." "Shit." "You've never had women here before, have you." "Are you kidding me?" "It's nonstop." "Who do you think used up all the soap?" "I like your place." "It's um, masculine." "Well I will take that as a complement, thank you." "Let's go out." "Yes, let's go out." "That would be a good idea." "That's..." "Oh, God that's bad." "Christie Pitts Park is no longer taking any more garbage." "The park ended it's run last night as one of the cities designated drop-off locations during the municipal worker's strike." "The site is now full, and dispite opposition from the local residents, the City of Toronto has obtained an injunction to spray garbage at the park with pesticides." "The city had to go to court to get the injunction to allow for the spraying after pest control groups..." "You gonna put your cell phone number in?" "Maybe stick it in there?" "Something like that." "Okay." "Hey Bruno!" "Hey you guys wanna..." "Oh man, perfect." "Yeah." "Oh, boo boo..." "Hey, easy." "Don't boo me." "I've got this table, it's legit alright." "We know him, we know him, we know him." "So I will see you uh." "Okay, bye." "Hey I'm Bruno." "Hey, hi." "This is Caroline." "Hey, how's it going?" "Good." "See you later." "How's it going?" "Good, good, good." "Nice to see you." "Hello." "I think I'd better join you guys for a coffee otherwise there's probably gonna be a lynching." "Yeah." "Brunches, they can be a bloodsport sometimes." "Hey I'm Blake by the way." "So this is Caroline." "Sorry." "Caroline?" "Oh." "Oh Caroline from?" "Welf?" "." "Well actually Caroline from Paris." "She's in Paris now." "So why Paris as opposed to you know?" "Well I'm studying." "I'm doing my thesis." "Oh, on what?" "Anthropology." "Oh" "Oh, you know anthropology?" "Don't get me started, please." "Oh, I'm studying Lévi Strauss." "That's so funny because..." "Don't do it, I know you want to make the joke." "I can't let you..." "Ahh, blue jeans." "Yeah, I'm just looking at a famous field study of an isolated culture." "They use narcotics as a social bonding tool." "Oh that's the wierdest thing because that's exactly what I did in school and they kicked me out." "Really?" "Thank you." "So she's smart, she's hot." "So last night, is this like..." "Unbelieveble." "After how many years?" "Yeah, but you know it's kinda bittersweet." "She's in Paris so..." "So?" "So you know..." "No actually I don't know." "So she's in Paris." "Not right now she's not." "Yeah but she has it in her head; she's moving on." "Oh, buddy." "You're not someone that people move on from." "You're someone that people move on to." "You should tell her that." "Yeah, ok, I'll tell her that." "It's pretty." "Right." "How much longer is she in town for?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "So we were just talking about you." "Very approvingly." "Oh." "So how much longer are you in town for?" "Oh well I got to go see my folks tomorrow so..." "So..." "Tonight." "Ah, so what are you crazy kids going to be getting up to?" "Well I got to get to work pretty soon." "He works down at the race track." "Did he tell you that?" "Uh huh." "He tell you that?" "How awesome is that?" "It's awesome." "He's the guy that tells the drivers where to go." "Kind of." "Right." "Uh well originally I made my flight here cause I wanted to check out the BSS show, but..." "Oh that's right, on the island." "Yeah, it's been cancelled." "You can't get on the island because of the strike." "Oh what a drag." "Yeah we totally know people in the band." "We could have gotten you tickets." "You do?" "Well, Bruno does." "So you know the band?" "Oh yeah." "We totally could have gotten you backseat passes." "Well it's ok 'cause they moved the show to Harborfront tonight." "Huh." "That's great!" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "So..." "I guess I'll make some phone calls." "Hey, quickly I gotta know; do you have tickets for the show tonight by any chance?" "Hey I was wondering is there..." "Hi hey Sarah." "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." "Hey!" "Fuck!" "No look I need two tickets!" "What!" "Are you serious?" "Did I always have a thing for Caroline Rush?" "No." "I mean we first met at day camp at Hanlon Creek Park." "We swam together." "We learned to canoe together." "In the fall she moved to Centennial and invited me to her tenth birthday party where I was the only boy." "So, no." "We were kids." "It's creepy to call that love." "Right?" "Love comes much later." "Just uh make yourself comfortable." "I'll be a minute." "Cool." "Caroline Rush" "This is a cool place." "Over the years I've given her a lot of nicknames:" "Hammerhead, buttercup, scoat, 21-12, or just plain Rush." "So do you mind if I watch you get ready?" "Nope." "It's like I was afraid of her name." "Do you like guys watching you get ready?" "Some guys." "A lot of guys?" "Have a lot of guys seen this?" "I told you if I was serious about someone you'd be the first to know." "So you are seeing a lot of guys, you just haven't narrowed it down yet..." "Bruno!" "No I get it, you want an open relationship." "No I don't want an open relationship because I don't want a relationship." "We're not some desperate married couple considering swinging." "We slept together once." "I get it." "Ok, I just want to have fun tonight." "Me too." "Ok, good." "So come help me get dressed." "So just the zipper?" "Yeah, just the zip." "You tangled?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Is it stuck?" "Hold on." "Just don't..." "Oh, there we go." "Good?" "All done." "Thank you." "Ok." "Look at all this hotel soap." "Cheval extra doux with shea butter." "*Shea* butter" "You know what maybe I'll take some home with me in case you end up coming back to my place tonight." "No pressure of course." "Alright." "That ok with you?" "One each maybe." "Yeah, that'll be good." "And maybe one for the road?" "Haha." "Stock up for a little while." "I'll make 'em last though." "I'll take some conditioner maybe." "We had sex." "That's cool." "This isn't the culmination of a fifteen year-old crush." "I know that." "I know." "I know it's stupid to call it a crush after fifteen years." "Fifteen years of a crush is a relationship." "It just becomes what it is." "So how did you end up getting the tickets?" "Uh, well it turns out it's a free show." "Oh." "Yeah." "So what about the backstage passes?" "I don't know why but I'm loving this city right now." "It's not the way I picture it when I'm gone." "Not so uptight." "Maybe it's the garbage strike." "Maybe." "Yeah, it makes it more European this way." "A little trash and this becomes a world-class city." "Really?" "This on a bike?" "Yeah, yeah." "No?" "Ok." "No cool." "Alright." "Ok." "As long as I can ring the bell." "Throw this in the back though." "Ok." "Check, Check." "One two, one two two." "Check." "How's everybody doing?" "Let me ask a question." "How do you guys feel about the city strike that's going on?" "*Boo*" "Alright let me tell you one benefit of this strike though." "This concert was originally supposed to be at Toronto Island." "How many had tickets to that concert?" "And as a result of the city strike, you get to watch Broken Social Scene for free tonight." "How does that sound?" "So we want to thank the City of Toronto for striking, just for today, and we hope they go back to work." "Ladies and gentlemen you've heard me talk enough." "Who are you here to see?" "*Broken Social Scene*" "Give it up for Broken Social Scene." "It was 2004 when we did this last." "We got everybody here tonight." "We did this right for you Toronto because we're your hometown band so thank you very very much." "Bruno!" "Hey Bruno!" "Yo." "Hey brother what's up man?" "Hey how you doing?" "Hey nice to see you." "Hey what about those backstage passes you were talking about." "Yeah, I think you mean the ones you were talking about." "Oh yeah those are..." "It's not a big deal." "No we can get 'em." "We can get 'em right?" "Uh we're here to pick up some backstage passes under Mallack, Bruno." "Uh." "Um nope." "No, they gotta be there." "No I don't have any." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "No Mallack sorry." "It's not a big deal." "We don't need them." "Well it's kind of a big deal." "She's got passes there." "Just say you have passes." "She'll know that you have passes." "Listen, we're positive that we have some put aside for us so can you check again?" "I don't have anything, sorry." "Alright I'm calling Amy right now." "I'm sure she wants to know what's going on at concessions." "Do you know Amy from the band?" "Is there anything you wanted to talk to her about right now?" "No?" "I'll give you two." "Go away." "Get lost." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Appreciate it." "You want one?" "Yeah I want one." "Thanks." "Don't we need another one?" "Sure, we'll just go back and ask." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "Hello." "Actually these seats have been set aside for us actually." "Sorry." "These are great." "Check it out." "Thanks." "I think too much." "That's what Blake says." "Don't bubble wrap all the good things." "Let it go." "Let it break." "Let the friendships you love evolve and surprise you." "Embarrass, amaze you." "Get a vice." "It's working so far." "Bruno, stop thinking." "I've gotta go to the bathroom." "What?" "I've gotta go to the bathroom!" "Alright." "Where are you going?" "I'll be right back." "I'm going to the bathroom." "Excuse me." "Sorry guys." "This is crazy." "We need to find it otherwise we're going to miss half the show." "Just go in the lake." "No?" "You're not comfortable just going right there?" "No." "Jump in for a bit?" "I like these lights." "Yeah." "Check out mister swan." "Oh my God, he's still here." "It pays to have good friends everybody." "And on that note laides and gentlemen, give it up for this man, our friend, mister Jason Collett" "She was fine a minute ago." "I don't know." "Hey, you guys want to go backstage now?" "Come on it'll be fun." "Um yeah." "Ok let's go." "Backstage buddy." "Yeah." "I think it's over there." "Fuck." "Where are we going?" "I don't know where it is." "This way." "Come on." "Hold on." "Let me see your pass." "Where did you get those?" "We got 'em from the lady." "What lady?" "Who are you here to see?" "Broken Social Scene." "What?" "Broken Social Scene." "Yeah yeah, I got 'em." "Thank you." "Whoa whoa, where's you pass?" "No, he's with us." "You're not going in there without a pass." "Authorized personnel only." "I'll find you one." "I promise I'll get you one." "Thank you." "Once again, thank you for everything." "You know we love it." "We are from here." "We live here." "We walk around here." "We eat here." "We love here." "We fight here." "We break-up here, and we live inside of this town, so thank you Toronto." "Your buddy and his girl; they ditched you huh?" "No, we're good friends." "Hey buddy." "Hey man." "How you doing?" "Bruno, I don't understand what you are talking about." "We are not together." "What do you mean we're not together?" "I'm going home tomorrow." "There is no point in having this conversation." "Caroline, I wan't to be with you." "We can never be together." "Ok?" "What do you mean ok?" "Why do you have to bring this up?" "Because I'm in love with you and I..." "Did Caroline come through here?" "Hey Bruno Bruno." "Hey man." "She just took off." "I can't find her." "Help me look for her." "Come on." "She just took off." "Hold up man." "We're gonna play a couple more for you." "This is the encore ladies and gentlemen." "I don't know where the fuck she is." "Calm down." "Don't worry about that." "What does that mean?" "Don't worry that I'm not going to see her for the next four months?" "You could try calling her." "I don't know." "Look." "If she calls, she calls." "But if not, we've got these passes and we've got a party to go to." "Alright." "We'll see you in ten minutes everybody." "Thank you very much." "We love you people." "Do the best you can." "Thanks." "I need a beer." "Yeah!" "Great to meet you man." "Bruno." "Bruno?" "Yeah." "You're fantastic." "Did you get into trouble?" "Uh." "A little bit." "Yeah?" "Well, probably should right?" "I know." "Great to meet you man." "Thank you." "Good night Toronto." "Whoa whoa." "Shit." "Shit." "Bruno!" "Let me be." "Let me wander." "No." "Come in a little bit." "It's refreshing on this balmy summer night." "It's not gonna be refreshing on the walk home you ass." "I feel like we're in Venice or something." "Come on." "Come for a little dip." "Come for a little dip." "No no no." "Leslie, come for a little dip." "I don't think that's gonna happen." "Look at me." "Let's go back." "We're not going back inside buddy." "Let's go back inside." "No." "Do you still have that wine that I left here?" "That wine that you left here?" "You left it there like three weeks ago man." "It was like a week ago and I corked it." "It's not like scotch; it goes bad man." "It's probably fine." "Hold on." "I'm locking my bike." "Caroline?" "No no, hold on." "What?" "I said hold on." "I'm locking my bike." "I dunno where it is." "Just come up the stairs." "I think I rolled my ankle." "Hello." "Anyone?" "Caroline?" "She's not here man." "What do you think she broke in?" "Yeah well you know she was here last night so I figured if I didn't fuck it up she'd be here tonight." "You know?" "No." "Tonight is tonight." "Ok?" "It is tonight." "And tonight was great." "It was a great night." "It was a fantastic night yes." "Was the band not awesome?" "In unexpected ways the band was fantastic and then guess what happened." "I fucked it up." "So now I'm feeling like shit, but I appreciate the effort." "A special moment like that, you want to share it with somebody." "and you know." "You did share it I fucked it up." "You did." "You shared it with me and a few thousand other people if you recall." "I'm gonna go put something on." "She was here last night you know." "In the bed and I fucked it up." "I'm just a fucking idiot." "Would you stop with that?" "I can't help it you know." "I just feel like such a fucking moron." "Things were going so well." "I don't know how to do this." "And what do I do?" "I throw my..." "Fuck." "I'm a fucking idiot." "You're the best dude existing out there." "You're smart, you're sexy." "Any women would be happy." "If you hadn't cut your hair." "Why did you cut your hair?" "You're such a fucking idiot." "But seriously." "You're sexy, you're hot." "Well that's kinda the same thing as sexy but I appreciate it anyway." "I'd suck your cock." "Well, I'll take that as a complement." "Thank you." "Let me ask you a question." "Hmm." "You still wasted?" "Yeah." "Yeah I'm still fucking wasted." "Yeah how's this?" "There is that good?" "You feel better?" "It's just that the thing with the band is that they're so, you know, so unpredictable." "and it's so Oh yeah." "It comes from this place." "It sounds so organic." "Organic." "That's the word." "And they flow." "What is this?" "What?" "This?" "What are you packing here?" "It's soap with shea butter." "It's soap." "Yeah, there we go." "It smells nice." "It's like an air freshener." "Oh my God it was amazing." "They came out and did like a four song encore." "They finished the whole thing with "Major Label Debut", and then they all ended up lined up at the front of the stage." "It drove me crazy you weren't there." "I just wanted to tell them to stop and wait so I could come find you." "You know?" "Bring you back." "I really just wanted to put the whole night on pause." "Wow." "Don't worry about him." "He's out of it." "I mean you know how men are." "They get off and they're out like a light." "Huh." "Come here." "I want to show you something." "Just come here." "You good?" "Mm hmm." "I really wanted to show you this." "Take a look" "This is the encore." "Wow." "Pretty cool right?" "It's awesome." "Like it?" "Yeah I love it." "That's amazing." "Thank you." "They're so good." "Oh that's awesome." "Yeah." "That's amazing." "Thank you." "You like it?" "The last time I saw Caroline was the day she left for Paris." "A couple of weeks after that I got a package from her in the mail." "There was a DVD and a note that said "play this and it will explain exactly how I feel about you and me." "Love, Hammerhead. "" "This is what she said."
