"Are you a little sad?" "Yes, Jon, I'm a little bit sad." "Oh, no." "Chinchilla!" "Chin..." " Fuck!" " Frank, he's fucking crazy." "She's stabbed me in the fucking leg!" "Get off me!" "Frank!" "Who are you?" "'Clara Wagner, our very own Syd Barrett, 'was arrested today and charged with assault after stabbing me in the leg." "'See link." "'We will all miss Clara 'and sincerely hope 'our own crazy diamond 'will also shine on.'" " Nana, open up." "Baraque!" "Is he here?" "How is he?" "He's sleeping." "He's dead?" "Asleep." "He's sick." "No, no, he's..." "He's just tired." "He'll be alright for tonight." "Not Frank." "You." "Sorry?" "I've known this since the first time I saw him on that beach." "He would have drowned Lucas to take his place in the band." "No, I wouldn't have." "Because when he looks inside himself, he can't find anything there." "Yes, I can." "So his only hope is to live off your talent like a tick." " Sorry?" " Which is why he got rid of Clara." " Clara chose to stab me." " We're not playing without Clara." "What?" "We've got the biggest gig of our lives in three hours." "The stabbing could not have come at a better time, Frank." "Everyone at South by Southwest..." "Baraque and I have packed." "We're leaving." "No, you can't leave." "We've had 767, 328 hits." " Frank, say something." " 767,918." "They're all watching." " Frank." " So many people." " See?" " So many people." " Don't..." "Good luck playing tonight without a band." "I've got one word for you." "Unplugged!" "Me on guitar, you on vocals." "Delegates really like it when bands go unplugged." "Special thing." " How's your leg?" " It'll be OK." "We set everything up." "Sure you wanna go ahead?" "Absolutely." "Igniting the light and letting it shine." " Frank, are you OK?" " Uh-huh." " If I was you guys I'd be so nervous." " Oh, goes with the territory." "Yeah, but, I mean, playing without your band after what just happened..." "Shit, man, I would be nervous." "It's not like we don't know the songs or anything." "With that many people, I would be shitting myself." " Would you please shut your mouth?" " I'm just saying..." " Where are you going?" " Do my ablutions." "That's not the toilet." "Just be as quick as you can." " 30 seconds." " Frank?" " Frank?" " Let's fuck!" "Just wait here for a few seconds, OK?" "Hello." "Prepare for rapture!" "Yeah!" "Hello, South by Southwest!" "It's been a crazy 24 hours, but we're still here, and we're still the Soronprfbs!" "Unplugged." "Chinchilla!" "Chinchilla!" " Yeah!" " OK." "Here's a little song I wrote." "I hope you like it." "This is the best day of my life." "♪ La la la-la la" "♪ La la la-la la" "Come on, Frank!" " ♪ La la la-la la ♪" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" " Frank." "Frank." "Frank!" "What is it, Frank?" "Frank, come on." "What is it?" "The music's shit." " The music is shit." "'..." "Cleveland, Ohio band, The Gentile Youth, 'had all of Austin talking last night 'when they played a barnstorming set at South by Southwest.'" "(Turns TV off" "Aren't we supposed to be playing at South by Southwest?" "Frank..." "I know you weren't happy with the music." "So let's work on it together." "Why not?" "You're not Clara." "The motel owner says if we haven't paid in full by the end of the week, they're throwing us out." " Fuck's sake!" " Oh, jeepers." " Fuck." " It's alright." "I'm sorry." "Just leave it." "Oh, you stink!" "I made it." "Now, will you use it?" "Take it off." "The head." "Maybe you should take it off." "In cognitive behavioural therapy, they say... face your fears." "They say, take the head off." "So let's do it." " Let's take the fucking head off." " I have a certificate." "I know you have a certificate." "I know you've got a motherfucking certificate!" " Just take it off!" "Take it off!" "Fucking hell!" " Frank, I'm sorry!" "I..." "Frank!" "Frank!" "No!" "Frank!" "I'm sorry." "Come back!" " Where did he go?" " That way." " Is he injured?" " He was limping." "Did you see his face?" "'Yeah, hello." "You wanna report a missing person?" "'" " Yes." " 'Name?" "'" " Frank." " 'Frank what?" "'" "Just Frank." "'Age?" "'" "Somewhere between 30 and 50." "'And what does this person look like?" "'" "Driving me crazy, but I know who you are." " Hmm?" " You're the Chinchilla guy, right?" " Hm-hmm." " Awesome." "And there's the dude with the big head and the crazy chick." "Clara, right?" "Dude, you guys are, like, total myths." "I mean, there's fucking footage of you everhere online." "Chinchilla guy!" " Chinchilla guy." " Chinchilla guy!" "See?" "I mean, all the footage." "You're all totally erratic and shit, nervous breakdowns." "Chinchilla!" "People rolling around on the floor." "I mean, just wayward stuff, man." "And now it's all like, "What happened to Frank?" "It's like he just vanished."" " I mean, fucking hilarious." " I don't think it's hilarious." "Really?" "I thought it was supposed to be hilarious." "It's..." "But, I mean, Clara and Frank, man." "Come on, they're, like... total freaks."

"Be careful." "Hi." "Frank?" "Frank, I'm so ashamed." "I should never have tried to pull your head off." "I don't know..." "I'm the tree surgeon." "I'm just..." "I'm just here to look at the tree."
