Daddy, what's that sound?
Don't worry, it's just Cramer J
and Captain Dingus.
And we are back. 96.5.
WECC.
Rocks!
We are back in the Grotto.
I'm Cramer J with my co-host Captain Dingus.
Welcome to the Grotto.
The towels are clean, but the water is dirty.
In the studio today we have Rufus Paisley
from the beloved rock club, Rollers,
and you guys are celebrating a big anniversary tomorrow.
How many years do you guys have now?
Uh, hard to believe it, but 100.
What kind of gift do you even get
for a hundred year anniversary?
How about a coffin?
Okay. All right.
You are a sick man in more ways than one line.
That's a spicy meat ball.
Now, Rufus, tell us how do you keep a place
like Rollers open for 100 years?
Woo, um, that's a great question.
Such a great question, you don't even have an answer.
You know it's just, I don't...
I don't want to go on a uninvited rant.
No, please consider yourself invited.
Okay, I mean, it's just a, it's just an interesting time
to be running a club right now.
I mean, I feel like the old timer
still on the block, you know?
The disease has like really taken hold.
Yeah, you know, Rufus there is a new musical venue
and you don't need an agent, you don't need a record deal,
you don't need a manager, and you don't even need talent.
It's called the Internet.
Ah, says the dude on the radio.
Oh!
- Ouch! - Burn alert!
That hurt.
That, that hurt. I expected more from you.
And now your parents. Your dad, Winston.
We've had him on the show before.
He kept Rollers humming for damn near 40 years
and famously turned this obscure little jazz nightclub
into the staple of our local music scene.
He booked rock bands, orchestras, singer songwriters.
- Prince. - Prince who?
- Okay. - Yeah.
Captain Dingus still stupid. Go on.
I mean, eh, listen, seriously, he booked talent.
Good music and people with a great voice.
Ural Thomas, the one who's playing the anniversary,
my dad's one of the first people to get behind him.
So we're just gonna keep it goin'.
So Rufus, before coming back to Rollers,
you were in a spicy little band.
Mhm, The Duty of Man.
If I can just chime in here, I love that name.
And now your former band mate Tyler Bolton
has minted three platinum records
and a couple of Grammy's in under five years.
Do you ever regret leaving life on the road behind?
Uh...
Um...
? Some say why me ?
? I say ?
? Why me ?
? Somebody tell me ?
? Oh oh, yeah ?
? He left you ?
? So you're takin' it out on me ?
? Givin' me nothin', no ?
? But hurt and misery ?
? I'll never be ?
? I'll never be the same ?
? Pain is the name of your game ?
? Pain's the name of your game ?
All right, all right, all right, all right.
I brought you guys together
because I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart
for being here.
I really can't believe it's already been five years
since we took over.
Since mom and dad died.
Mom and dad died?
Yes.
And truth be told, Maddie's the one who said
reviving Rollers would never work.
So because of that, because we did-
I hope you wrote this ahead of time.
- Yes. - I did, I, come on.
I did tell Rufus that this wouldn't work.
- No. - No.
To tell you the truth, it scares the shit out of me, but,
I love you all.
I love you, too.
And thanks for coming on this rock journey with us.
All right, get the words out.
So...
- She's hammered. - To 100 more great years.
And, and, to our mom and dad.
We wouldn't be here without 'em.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
Cheers.
Cheers, cheers, cheers.
? All I got is respect, baby ?
? Yeah, yeah ?
- Let's go down there. - God, move it.
Come on.
All right.
Go forth you drunkard.
See you downstairs.
Let the Lord lead ya.
? You got yourself ?
? You got yourself to blame ?
? Baby ?
? Yeah ?
? You hurt me so ?
? Oh ?
? Baby ?
? Why, why, why ?
? Do you wanna cause me all this pain ?
? Yeah, yeah, baby ?
? Whoa oh oh ?
? Ow ?
Rufus, it's Stan.
From the bank.
Now I'm not trying to throw him under the bus,
but your business manager, shit, uh, what's his name?
Donnie.
He told me that someone's making a real offer to buy Rollers
and I know he's not the sharpest crayon in the canister,
but listen to him this time, Rufus,
because Potter is grinding my balls into dust.
You could dissolve them in water.
So be a man.
Put your tail between your legs,
and take whatever they're offering.
Shit, take me to Tahiti or something.
God knows I need a vacation from this asshole.
I'm pullin' for you, kid. I'll see you on the other side.
WECC, this Cramer J
and co-host Captain Dingus coming to you
live from the Grotto.
Now this may be a prank, but our producer Jerry
just handed us two tickets for caller 69
to see The Wonkies at Rollers this weekend.
Ha, The Wonkies?
Their big hit, "That's My Pudding,"
is taking the world by storm.
Time's have changed.
Caller 69, here's your chance to snag free Wonkies tickets
to one of the three nights at Rollers.
Again, I saw vanity under the sun.
One person has no other, neither son nor brother.
And yet there is no end to all his toil,
so that he never asks for whom am I toiling
and depriving myself of pleasure?
This is also vanity and an unhappy business...
Hey man.
You okay?
The fool folds his hands and eats his own flesh.
- Hey! - Ah sh...
- Come on, man. - You listened to
- the link I sent you yet? - Huh?
- You good? - What'd you say?
Have you listened to that link yet?
Oh, no.
I'm putting it on my list, though.
You need to listen to that now, man.
You're slackin'. Slackin'.
? Give the people what they want ?
? I'll keep tellin' lies until I make it ?
? You think I got what you want ?
? Everything I have is for the takin' ?
? And the people say ?
? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ?
? Give the people what they want ?
? I'll keep tellin' lies until I make it ?
? You think I got what you want ?
? Everything I have is for the takin' ?
Ah, what the hell man?
Oh, sorry Rufus.
- Hey. - Carl, man.
I said if I'm in here, you can't be in here.
I'm sorry, Rufus, but there's plenty of room.
I mean it's not...
You just gonna use my soap?
I forgot mine.
I'll just use a little.
You got the good soap.
This smells good.
Yeah, uh man, I was having a good time in there, man.
You ain't gotta leave.
No, I'm done, man.
Enjoy yourself, man.
? When I used to ?
Hey Rufus, did you use all the hot water?
? Maybe it's 'cause ?
? She don't like to do things I do ?
? She likes to stay at home ?
? So we can be alone, yeah ?
? I like to have a choice ?
? I can't see where that's wrong, no ?
? I will say this though ?
? Baby, baby, are you okay ?
? 'Cause I, I'm gonna show you how ?
? I love you ?
? I really do, girl ?
Um, hey, so, you want the good news first or the bad news?
I don't actually have any good news, it's just bad news.
Um, so I'm gonna start with that.
Um, so Gordon and Ballsack are
thinking about getting creative.
So what that means is like, playing dirty,
like pulling a string with the city-
Yeah, I'm capable of using my own skills of deduction.
Thank you very much.
It's a reduction, actually.
Assholes.
- We should sell. - I don't wanna sell, man.
They're going to destroy the entire neighborhood.
Maybe, but it's not really your job
to stop that from happening.
Ugh, man.
They can just eat a whole bag of pickled pubes.
Have you talked to Maddie about this yet?
No, not yet.
You should talk to Maddie.
Yeah, I will, I just, I'll just wait
until after the show's over when things are less...
Up in the air.
Mhm.
What?
- Hey, Maeve. - Where'd the money
- go, Rufus? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, he's not interested at the moment.
No, no, no, no.
Don't, don't, don't come here.
Here?
I was here.
I was here alone sweating it out for two years
while you were out on tour.
Yeah, well, not lately.
Not lately at all.
Look, Maddie, we made this baby together.
- Baby? - Okay, so,
now that we're having problems you can't just run...
What do you mean?
This is childish! Childish!
Listen, listen, you know I can't fight back.
No, you can fight me. You're being a pussy!
Well then come at me then, you bitch! Jesus!
I swear to god I'm gonna murder you.
Ah!
Oh ho ho, I'm not falling for that.
Oh no, I'm hot.
- Wait. - I'm hot.
Seriously?
I think, oh, I think I'm having a heart attack.
Your heart's going insane.
Yeah that's not how you tell
if I'm having a heart attack.
Well how am I supposed to tell?
I don't know.
Okay then how do you know?
That's not how I tell.
- I don't know. - Look, just lay flat.
Ow, my nose is tingling.
Deep breaths.
Okay, come on.
- Okay. - Come on, Rufus.
Deep breaths.
- Try. - I can't.
I can't do...
Try.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
In through the nose.
Out through the mouth.
You're just having a panic attack.
Come on.
I don't think I have anxiety.
We all have anxiety.
Okay. All right.
Okay, you just, all right, you just...
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, okay.
All right, geez, you're all up in my business.
Thanks, mom.
Sure.
What are you doing now?
Stress eating.
Ah, yeah.
Stop me in exactly 60 seconds.
- Same. - Mhm.
Mmm.
Mm. Oh.
You know, we have to take the offer.
Look Maddie, you know, the shows are gonna
get the bank off of our backs,
and then we can start climbing out of this hole.
I mean, we'll have to do a bunch of birthday parties
and homeschool proms, but I mean, we'll make it work.
Then what?
After things go back to normal, I'll just buy you out.
I mean, 'cause what am I gonna do
with a shit ton of money anyway, right?
Like I'm gonna pay for my kid to go to college,
buy a house so I can live in it alone?
Buy myself a music career?
Yeah.
You know they're dead, right?
What's that supposed to mean?
It means you can stop trying
to earn your place in the family.
This is not about them.
You don't have to prove anything to Jane, either.
Pfft, please.
I just...
I just need some more time.
How long is the offer alive?
Until Sunday.
Yeah.
Please?
I'm pregnant.
With what? A pause?
That was a good one.
With a baby.
I'm gonna be an uncle?
Wow.
Is it Jamie's?
Come here, come here.
Oh, that's awesome.
Oh!
Oh, thank you, Rufie.
Oh man.
That changes things a lot.
That's why I feel like maybe it's-
No, no, I'm gonna have my nephew or my niece like...
Actually, we should just make it a girl.
I think it's a boy.
We'll see.
But regardless, we gotta save Rollers for her.
Rufus.
We have to save it.
For her.
Hm?
Come on, mommy.
Help Uncle Rufie.
See the resemblance?
I guess we could see how the show goes
- before we make a call. - Thank you, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Oh, this is great.
Thank you.
Thank you, seriously.
This is awesome. All right.
Seriously.
Yeah.
What?
I tried to keep her out.
Who?
- Her? - Oh, balls...
? Why you wanna make me blue ?
Mr. Paisley.
Mrs. Gordon.
? I cried many nights for you, girl ?
? Why ?
? Why ?
Thank you.
You first.
It's not poisoned.
See?
You can't fool me.
I've seen the Princess Bride.
And luckily I too am immune to the effects of iocane powder,
so it's a stalemate.
This doesn't have to end badly, Rufus.
It's Mr. Paisley to you.
After all Rufus, despite my best efforts,
my client insists on overpaying you for your property,
instead of waiting to acquire it
once the bank forecloses on it.
It seems that he doesn't like to admit defeat,
much like someone else we know.
But if you insist on being stubborn,
we will acquire the property eventually.
You see, we have developed an arsenal full of tactics.
You think you can buy anything you want, huh?
Well, not anything, but...
Most things, yeah.
Well you can't buy me and you can't buy Rollers,
especially not with money,
or this jar of delicious cherries.
We found your old music.
It's good.
What do you know about good music?
I followed Pink Floyd for three years
before I went to law school.
Wow. Wow.
That's super cool.
Can I ask you a question about that?
How does Maeve Gordon go from a David Gilmore
banging groupie to a heartless corporate lackey?
She grows up.
Depressing.
Seems like you're having a barrel
of laughs right now yourself.
? Too fast ?
? Said you better slow down ?
? How can you make it last ?
? If you're movin' too fast ?
? Slow down baby ?
? Don't move so fast ?
? Make it right and good ?
? You gotta make it last ?
? By slowin' down ?
? If you want it ?
? I'm not your perfect angel ?
? To be good to ya ?
? Baby what you want and I'll do it ?
? You gotta slow it down now, yeah ?
? And make it last ?
? Baby what you want me to do ?
The Wonkies are here!
They're here.
I'll meet you down there.
What's the matter, man?
This is the biggest act we've ever booked.
I know, man.
I'm, I'm pumped, bro.
We sell out all three nights,
we'll nip this thing right in the butt.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I told you I'm pumped, but uh,
did you mail that check?
Rufus, come on.
What kind of business manager would I be if...
Yep.
Yo, Rufus, more in the ears.
You got it.
Is he gettin' the pop?
Pop, pop, pop check, pop check.
Poppa check.
- Pop it. - Pop, pop, pop, get that.
I think we're golden. Rock and roll.
You two wouldn't know rock and roll
if it took a shit on your chest.
I'm good, I'm good!
We've got you booked for three nights.
My special boy got electrocuted.
I'm gonna try the bear
- in the other outlet. - Okay.
The fuck?
Yeah. By your inflatable bear.
It's your electricity.
He's not even injured.
Well, thank God but our lawyer said
that we can claim the losses with our insurance company
and we'll still get paid, so, we're gonna do that.
What about your fans?
Well, what about us, man?
We were banking on these shows.
I know. That is a bummer.
- Okay. - Mm?
Begging.
Okay. All right.
Begging, begging.
- Ian. - Good.
I'm begging you, man, please,
just play the shows we agreed to.
- Begging? - Play the shows we agreed to.
Begging?
Please just play the shows we agreed to.
- Begging. - Play the shows we agreed to.
- Begging. - Bro!
Play the shows we agreed to, man.
Begging, begging, thinking.
Thinking.
Thinking, thinking, thinking,
- thinking, thinking, thinking. - Play the shows we agreed to.
Thinking thoughts.
Rufus, we've been on the road
playing this garbage for six months,
and the universe just handed us three paid days off,
and I'm gonna take 'em!
- You'll figure it out. - Thanks, man.
You're, you're, you're, you're a grade A,
FDA approved clown, bro.
You're the one that booked us.
What the?
Ah.
That was rough.
That was rough.
What are you doing in here, man?
I was looking for an opportunity to interject
and it never really came.
Rufie? My, my baby boy.
There are 500 people out there
who want to pay good money to see them.
Tomorrow night there will be more.
The night after that, 500 more.
Yeah, I know. I know, I know.
Then please, pursue him.
Beg him. I am begging you to beg him.
But I already begged.
I was down on my knees. I begged, I begged, I begged.
I didn't hear you offer to jerk him off.
I would've hit him.
I can't believe you didn't hit him.
Ian got shitty.
Yes.
Maybe it's the universe telling us we're selling out.
But we're a concert venue.
Selling out is what we're supposed to try to do.
Yeah, but not like that.
I get it.
Look man, I, I don't like The Wonkies anymore than you do,
but if we don't get the bank a check on Monday,
they're going to foreclose on Rollers.
Yeah.
We'll figure it out without 'em.
Chaz, hey man.
What's up Rufus? How's it goin'?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's actually why I was calling.
- We had a little mix up. - Huh.
And I was wondering if you and the Afro girls
wanted to come down uh, and, and, and rock out.
Uh, you just bumped us?
Yeah, yeah, I-
Kinda lame you're calling me back like this.
Chaz, come on, man.
I'll make it up to you, man, I swear.
Okay, gotta go, Rufus.
- Chaz. - Uh, I'll see you around.
Talk to you sometime.
? Everybody's pushing the same route ?
? So don't keep no distance between you and me ?
No, no, it's great to talk to you.
Yeah, yeah, I was wondering if you wanted
to come by and play Rollers this Friday, man.
It'd be a great opportunity for you and the band.
Yeah.
All right.
Well get Francis on the phone, then.
Oh hey, dude. I got an opening this Friday.
How's Brazil?
Yeah.
Okay. At Carnival, huh?
Ah, you're hilarious.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
All right, well thank you. Bye.
Ah ha.
Jesus loves you, too.
All right. Bye.
Dude, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take care.
Hey, it's Tyler. Leave me a message.
? I'm so happy baby ?
? For you I'd walk 100 miles ?
? 100 miles ?
? Oh ?
? They need to hear the words ?
? You hit 'em with your love like a thunder bird ?
? It only takes a minute to find out that ?
? Everybody's pushing the same route ?
? So don't keep no distance between you and me ?
? No distance baby ?
Back here.
What is up, bro?
Living the dream, man.
Yeah.
No kiddin'.
You want something?
Like a drink?
Oh no, no, I'm good. I'm good.
Oh come on man. Have a drink.
All right. Well, whatever, whatever you're havin'.
To be, or not to be.
That is, that's the question, bro-
You're fuckin' great, man.
Oh, uh thanks bro.
Those boots are fire.
Oh uh, yeah.
Been rockin' these for awhile.
To your success.
Yeah, man.
Things well?
Oh yeah, man, yeah. Totally.
Things are solid.
- Yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
I'm makin' it. Thanks for asking.
Oh, shoot.
- Dude, yes. - Boom.
I've been wanting one of these.
- Boom. - Thank you.
Turn around, Superman.
Ah. There you go.
Look at that.
- Yeah, dude. - Dude, I love it.
I'll bounce your ass.
Who'd you get?
Yeah, I didn't get anybody either.
Oh, man.
It's only been 30 minutes.
Yeah, I think really fast.
Oh!
Dude.
Weird.
We're on the brink of disaster.
Yes. About that.
Um, I've been thinking and I think that we should
take that offer from Gordon and Ballsack.
Oh!
No.
Well we're not swimming in options here, man.
Yeah, I know, I just...
What if I got another personal loan
and pay off payroll for the month?
They wouldn't give you a Diner's Club card, baby.
Oh, I feel like Denethor staring over
the mountains of Shadow.
Sauron's gathering his armies,
and we're the only ones left standing
between him and what's left of Middle Earth.
Is that a new neighborhood?
- What's wrong with your beers? - What's wrong with you?
You know, okay, all right.
You know, it's time for you to go, sir.
I have got to think.
No, I'm thinking, I'm thinking.
No, no. No, no, no, no, no.
- No more procrastinating. - I'm thinking!
No, okay, watch.
Look, look, look, look.
Huh?
Exercise lubricates the brain.
Oh, Dogs For the Preacher?
It works.
Call Tyler.
See if he'll play Rollers before they leave town.
I don't, I don't know.
Get him good and drunk, too,
because they gotta play for free
if we're gonna hit out mark.
Hey.
Hey.
Tyler loves ya, and he loves Rollers.
All you have to do is ask.
Your breath is smoldering.
Oh, that's what makes me so cozy, like a fireplace.
Oh.
Uh oh.
Uh oh.
Mm, was I interrupting something?
Just this man s'more.
There's someone here to see you.
We're closed.
Yeah. Not like that.
Listen no, seriously. I am busy.
This is not a good time.
Like seriously, come on, you gotta go.
You're right, yeah, we gotta go. Come on.
You gotta see. Let's go.
- Come on, you gotta get up. - I didn't mean it like that.
I meant-
- All right, fine, okay fine. - No, no, no, no!
Fine, fine!
"Dear diary..."
Rufus. How scandalous.
Doom, doom!
Doom, doom!
Ah.
That was nice.
Look at you playin' the piano now.
This piano is so out of tune. Listen to this.
Sounds good to me.
You just like let it fall to shit since I left.
- Look. - How's the tour?
How's the tour?
I mean I've seen, I've seen your pictures and stuff.
Yeah. Yeah.
Tour's good.
It's not the one that's gonna push us over the top,
but it's a step.
Oh no, that is a big Sumo step.
Yeah.
- Actually um, I quit the band. - What?
Yeah. It wasn't going anywhere, so...
But you guys are killing it.
Yeah.
You know, it's funny because it's like,
when you're on the outside, you look at people
and you think they're either like successful
or not successful.
And then uh, you get closer and you realize
that the people you thought were killing it
are um, sleeping in their vans.
Well, half the people I know
are sleeping on private jets, so.
That's, well, yeah.
So yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Ah, but um, do you know what's next?
Uh, no.
Why don't you stay here?
Could be fun.
Thinking about it.
I mean, unless you have The Wonkies play again.
- Oh come on. - In which case,
- I cannot be seen here. - That was one time!
- Actually yeah right. - That was one low moment.
Paisley, do not like to me.
- Don't lie to me, okay? - Okay.
- I wilt not lie. - Thank you.
I'll tell you the truth.
Tell me the truth.
I want the money.
Ah, I see.
The money, okay.
I can understand that, yeah.
Yeah.
Um, how is that uh, side of things?
Oh, the money side?
It's good.
It's great.
I mean, there's some ups and downs
but you know, we're, we're solid.
Cool.
Well, um, I could use a drink.
- Okay. Let's do it. - If at all possible.
- Get outta here. - All right.
- Okay actually, I need help. - Oh, okay, okay.
Okay.
We went from Portland to New York and then back to LA
after we got that call.
I can't believe we did that whole trip in eight days.
Oh shi...
God, that was, that was gnarly.
Yeah, it was.
It was kind of amazing though.
Definitely.
? I gotta say I love you ?
Oh man.
Do you remember that time...
We left you at that gas station
in the middle of the night?
Yeah.
We drove for like an hour before we realized
you weren't with us.
In the middle of the night.
Yeah. Yeah, I remember.
Uh...
Is that the Tyler Bolton special?
First one off the line. Phew.
You want to see it?
Yes.
? 'Cause I love you ?
Man.
That's nasty.
Yeah, man.
It's pretty crazy.
Still feels so weird that I have my own line of guitars.
Shit, I can imagine.
You've been playing much lately?
Ah, no, no, not, not really.
Yeah.
We should play again, me and you.
? I gotta say I love you ?
? Oh yeah ?
Yeah.
? What more can I do ?
? To let you know it's true ?
? I ?
? I love you ?
Not too much.
Just a skosh.
I haven't eaten since breakfast.
Which one is this one?
Rollers Red, okay.
Yeah, this is Rollers Red, all right?
- Yeah. - L'Chaim.
L'Cha-
How about to Rollers?
Eyes to Rollers.
To Rollers.
Oh, fuck.
Mmm.
Ah!
- Let's go! - Oh my god.
All right.
- Let's do this. - Wait.
- There's not enough room. - What, you want a rematch?
There's not enough room. Of course I want a rematch.
- Come on. - Rematch?
Now we're doing Johnny's Breath.
- This is gonna really- - Okay?
- Okay. - Here we go.
Eyes...
To Rollers!
I am a god!
Ah!
Come on, you can do it!
You can do it!
Yeah!
- Okay, you ready for this? - All right, I'm ready.
You're walkin' all slow.
- Excuse me. - What?
I have like six pounds of beer in my stomach.
Give me a break.
Yeah, so?
- Okay. - All right, here we go.
- You ready for this? - L'Chaim.
Yum.
I'm fine, by the way.
That's good.
Oh, oh, my, I...
I apologize.
- Your dad. - Yeah.
I wasn't, I...
I didn't, I didn't forget.
- I just... - No, it's cool.
You know, I didn't forget he died.
Seriously, it's fine.
Don't worry about it.
Hey.
- There she is. - Hey!
Oh!
Hi.
- Oh my god. - What are you doing here?
You look so beautiful.
- Look at you. - Well thank you, my love.
- Thank you. - Oh, oh, oh.
I'm here to uh, hang out and cheer up
old Rufie over here because he is depressed.
I'm not depressed.
Yeah, he's depressed. Look at his face.
Yeah, everybody knows he's depressed.
- Depressed. - No, I'm not depressed,
but I will say I'm happy Jane is here.
Jane also happy Jane here.
What?
Fucking smoke it.
Smoke it.
Yeah, come on.
What is wrong with you?
Let it still, smoke a cigarette-
- I'm pregnant. - With your friend.
What?
What?
I'm pregnant.
For real?
- Yeah. - Are you fu-
You're not fucking with me, are you?
- For real? - No.
Get this shit away from my baby.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Holy shit.
No!
- Are you fucking kidding me? - No, I'm pregnant.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, I'm so fucking happy for you.
Holy shit, you're fucking pregnant!
Are you fucking kidding me?
Shh, shh, shh.
Shh. Shh, shh, sorry.
I'm drunk, I'm sorry.
- I'm a little drunk. - It's okay, it's okay.
Okay, okay.
I just cannot fucking...
Oh shit. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
God get this shit away from you.
Fuck.
Whoa.
Um, okay.
How um, how many, like how, how, how far along are you?
How big is it?
Is it, is it like a lemon?
- Is it smaller than a lemon? - Well, I am about two months.
Two months?
Yeah, so we aren't telling anyone yet.
Okay.
Yeah, no, no.
- I'm gonna keep it- - Shh.
I'll keep it zipped right up.
I'll keep it up.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
So like what are you gonna do when um, the,
it's so weird to say this.
What are you gonna do when the baby comes?
Baby.
I'll get bought out and stay home.
Wow.
- To pursue writing full time. - Right, right, right, right.
Of course.
I mean, but like, if you want to stay home,
dude you just fucking stay home.
You know?
Just stay home.
- Thanks. - Yeah, just do it.
I don't want to leave completely.
Yeah.
I always feel I'll be fine with one foot in,
and then I get tractor-beamed.
Boom.
That Rufus Paisley tractor beam.
I'm very familiar with that.
Yeah.
Especially because things were so rough for awhile, so.
What do you mean?
Jamie and I had to like loan the business
some money like sometime back.
- Oh. - Yeah.
Wow. I didn't, I didn't know that.
Yeah.
A little more than a skosh, sorry.
So how's it feel?
What?
Being a big deal, man.
Playing for 20,000 screaming fans every night,
taking the earth by the horns?
No, it's cool, you know?
It's cool?
Yeah.
I mean, it's kinda, you know, it's the same thing right?
Just higher stakes.
More pressures and...
I mean, I'm not complaining. Don't get me wrong.
We've been crazy lucky.
- Yeah. - But I don't know, man.
Sometimes I think about those, those old days when we were
playing at Rollers all the time,
back when it was just for fun.
I don't know, it's usually when I'm sitting
in another fucking meeting with
some fucktard marketing exec and I just,
I wish I could live in your world for awhile.
Take all that pressure off, though, really.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I get it.
- I'm just- - Yeah, yeah, Tyler,
I, I get it.
I get it.
Look, I'm just trying to say, man,
I miss being around, you know?
Huh.
That's cool.
I mean, we both know what happened.
No, we don't.
You got big and you bailed.
Yeah.
And now you want to come back to your roots
to the land of who the fuck cares
so you can remember what it's like to live
without all that horrible pressure
from people throwing money at you
and going broke from screaming your name.
Oh my god, I get it.
- I get it. - If that's the story you
wanna tell yourself man, go for it.
No, it's not a story. It's what happened, Tyler.
You ghosted me, dude.
I quit calling because you quit answering, man.
Yeah, 'cause you sold out.
Dude, you're the one bailing on legit acts
so you can book a fucking kids band, man.
Yeah, yeah. People talk, man.
You should know that.
And just because we're popular
doesn't mean we sold out, man.
We play the music we love.
Yeah, bro, because I hustled for you, man.
And that's why I'm here, Rufus.
I'm fuckin' here, man.
I should've known that all I'd hear
is the same old garbage from another jaded musician
who couldn't hack it on the road.
Hey, by the way? Man, we could have been huge.
But you quit.
That deal was almost closed,
but you chose to come back to Rollers, and I started Dogs.
That's life, man.
Fuck!
Everything okay, Rufus?
Is he okay?
You didn't even ask?
It didn't come up.
That's the whole point of going
to talk to him, man, was to ask him.
Yeah but just, let's, let's have a party.
- A party? - Yeah.
We are on our backs right now
with three lawyers standing over us.
And you know what they have?
You know what they have in their hands?
Socks full of nickels, man.
Yeah, but let's just have a party.
Yo man, I just, I need a drink, bro.
You're already drunk.
Know what? Here.
Chill pills.
Take a few.
You have an opportunity to save Rollers
and all you gotta do is talk to Tyler
and tell him what's really going on.
This is about Jane, isn't it?
No, no. This is not about Jane.
This is about Rollers, man, okay?
And the people who play here and see shows
and you and Mills and Quinn and Taylor.
Oh, she quit today, but, you know what I mean.
You get like this.
You act like a crackhead every time she's around.
Her dad died, Donnie.
- So? - Seriously.
- Hey. - All right.
You just barged right in.
Thank you.
Oh. Oh, y'all want me to come back?
Oh no, no, no. We're about to have a party.
- Oh, a party? - Yes, a party.
Yes.
Wait, did you get that electrician scheduled?
- Because how are we gonna- - No, no.
Forget the electrician. Forget it.
It's just, just for the box by the stage.
I mean you said that last week and it's-
Yes, forget last week.
I'm talking about right now and right now,
I think you should have a beer, okay?
I know you should have a beer.
That's technically illegal,
but I'm the master of this domain,
and if I say you should have a beer,
you, sir, should have a beer.
Okay?
So...
Brewski mode activated.
Let's drink beer.
Beer will make us happy.
Why am I not in that picture?
When did, when did that happen?
This picture was before you bro.
If we drink, the pain will go away.
It always does.
You have an opportunity to save Rollers right now, man,
and all you have to do is talk to Tyler
and tell him what's really going on.
This is about Jane, isn't it?
Rufus, it's Stan again.
Look, I believe in you, kid.
But I put my ass out there for this refi, all right?
Now I need your help.
So give me that check first thing on Monday morning
or a check won't do it anymore,
and you're gonna have to dislodge Potter's
fat fist from my ass.
Call me. Just call me.
? It's a lonely home ?
? I know ?
? I can't make it ?
? I know ?
? I can't make it ?
? I need you ?
? Need you ?
Oh.
What are you doin'?
Who are these guys?
Oh, Bargou 08. They're Tunisian.
Oh, look at you, fancy.
Yes.
Just going international on us.
Yes. I am on a plane in my mind.
Hey.
- Hm? - Hey, hey there.
Yes?
- Hey. - Are you beckoning?
Yeah, thanks for meeting me here.
How'd it go with Tyler?
Good.
You didn't, you didn't ask him, did you?
What are you so fucking worried about, dude?
Come on.
I don't know.
Honestly, we, we kinda got into it.
Really?
Yeah, he started complaining about how difficult
- it is to be successful. - Ooh.
- Yes, a lot of whispering. - Uh uh.
Yeah, he does that.
Well, you know what? He will get over it, so.
Yeah, so I murdered him.
I understand.
Did you want me to, did you want me
to talk to his ghost, though, for you,
about coming here to play?
Nah.
- No? - No, no, no.
I'm offering, so don't act like you don't need the help.
His wishes are very rare.
Rick's wishes, they're very, very rare.
- R-Rick? - Especially in recent years.
- Who is Rick? - So, that's...
Boom, Rick.
What am I supposed to ask him for?
He's drunk, I mean...
He's not, he's not drunk.
He's Rick, okay?
And you can ask him anything you want, obviously.
But!
- Anything? - But!
Am I telling the story?
You...
Who's telling the story? Am I telling the story.
You.
- Okay. - You, me!
Okay, okay.
- You tell it! - Okay, shut up.
Shut your fucking mouth.
You can, you can wish for anything you want,
but just know that what you wish for
is going to affect your relationship.
That is, that's all I have to say.
What do you...
How? What do you mean?
Oh, you want to know how I broke my leg?
I, yes, but I don't want it to be my wish.
- I mean... - Oh, sir.
Do not you worry.
I broke my leg because Nate Drexler
wished me to jump off the roof of his house.
Chow, pow.
And you...
- And you did it? - Of course.
He's Rick. That's what he does.
- That's his way. - It was his wish.
Don't question Rick. That's ridiculous.
But we never spoke again.
Mm, 'cause...
Okay. I think I know what my wish is.
Additionally, you can save it
for up to three months if you like.
Why are there so many rules?
They're meant to help
- guide, you, sir. - It's Rick's way!
They are a powerful tool.
Okay.
Okay.
I know what my wish is.
Lay it on me, sir.
I want you to teach me about the business.
Like how it works, so maybe I could
have one of my own someday.
I don't know, that'd be pretty dope, right?
What the fuck, dude?
Oh, oh!
I like this.
- I like it. - Wish granted, my man.
That's good.
? Five dirty fivers ?
? In a Tercel tonight ?
? Ridin' and sayin' everything's all right ?
? Stevie and Emily don't touch anymore ?
? He hates her mother ?
? She hates him more ?
? Everything's ours tonight, tonight ?
? We're breakin' out tonight, tonight ?
Daddy, what's that sound?
Don't worry, buddy.
It's just Cramer J and Captain Dingus.
Talk to me, Cramer J.
I could be wrong, but I'm starting to think
that this ass clown wants his life to fall apart.
Certainly does appear that way, Cramer J.
That's right. We're talking to you, dumb ass.
It's 11:00 AM and Rollers is not gonna save itself.
Well, you know, in honor of
chief fart face himself, we've got a very special tune.
"People Are Stupid All Over the World."
Hello?
Hey, man.
? Ain't it funny how we falter ?
? Whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curled ?
Hey, come on, we're gonna be late.
? I said people are stupid all over the world ?
Oh.
Ooh.
All right, all right.
Mm.
Uh, make sure that we have my bag.
I'll get it.
And I need to just get my stuff.
All right, I'll grab it.
Don't forget the Pedialyte.
Jane?
Wanna get coffee?
What are you doin'?
Oh.
Last night was fun.
Like the old days.
Yeah.
God, I miss the old days.
Me, too.
Although I can not drink like the old days.
- I know, right? - Good Lord.
- I feel awful. - Oh my legs are sore.
Like, why am I, why are my legs sore?
You were dancing.
You were dancing like a fool.
Okay.
Rufus?
Rufus, hello, what? What's the matter?
Oh uh, uh...
I, yeah, we should head back.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, I've been thinking a lot
about the whole Tyler situation.
You ready to call in an air strike?
Yeah, just drop some 'palm on him.
Okay, yep.
Seriously, I...
I need you to talk to him
'cause he's gotta do the show pro bono.
Okay.
So you knew about the situation?
With the bank?
Yep.
Maddie?
Right.
Look, I'm sorry.
- I was going to tell you- - Uh uh.
I just...
No, believe me, I was gonna tell you.
No, dude, I, no, I believe you.
Just uh, a lot going on.
Yeah, I know.
Hey.
Maybe it's time.
Maybe it's not.
All right.
Whenever you're ready, man.
? Where would I be without you ?
? Where would I be without you ?
? Where would I be without you, you, you ?
? I hope I'm even half the friend that you've been, oh ?
? 'Cause my life is twice as rich with you in it ?
? Whoa, whoa, whoa ?
? Where would I be without you ?
? Whoa oh oh oh ?
? Where would I be without you ?
? I'll never, never wanna find out ?
? Where would I be without you ?
? Where would I be without you oh oh oh ?
? Yeah ?
Wow, I am...
So horny.
You know Jefferson's is the biggest room he's played?
That's insane.
This is, that was insane.
This is why I have to save Roller's.
Speaking of, there's Tyler.
Hey.
Benny.
They can't tear anything down without your permission.
Well, they can't build the new buildings
until they tear the old ones down.
Progress, Rufus, progress.
Let me get in, let me get in.
Half the properties around here
were vacant-less 10 years ago.
Well, Benny, can't you tell 'em just to fuck off?
What's your annual revenue?
And how many employees you got?
And when's the last time you paid for a beer here, man?
I'm just kiddin', Rufus.
Just kiddin'.
Look, you've been around a long time.
Your family are friends of mine.
You're my friend.
But friendship doesn't fund the city's government,
and neither does Roller's.
? Change is ?
Aw, come on.
? Runnin' through my veins ?
I...
Benny, I don't want this.
It's for the beers.
Same time next week?
I mean, if we're open, man.
Benny, it's my putter.
I was gonna pawn that.
Thank you.
? Anymore ?
? Oh no ?
? Gotta figure out the scene ?
? There's something not right with me ?
? Just sittin' here workin' the brain ?
Oh ho ho ho ho ho.
It's like Christmas morning.
Thank you Santa.
So how did it go down?
Just uh, caught up.
Told him that you felt bad about
like what happened last time.
Ooh. Was he pissed?
A little bit, but I mean,
he knows you're under a lot of presh over here, so.
So you didn't tell him the details of our situation?
I kept it brief.
Now you got me curious.
Don't be curious.
Just be happy he's playing.
You told him.
So what if I told him?
Now everybody's going to know that we're broke.
So what? Who cares if you're broke?
Everybody's broke.
- Tyler's not. - What does it matter?
And now he's going to tell all of
his rich, successful friends.
Oh my god.
Dude. Rufus, are you serious?
Do you think that Tyler calls his rich, successful friends
and just like talks about you the whole time?
It's fuckin' ridiculous.
Thank you for fixing things with Tyler.
Even though now I look like a little bitch.
Newsflash, you are a little bitch.
And you're welcome.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait.
I'm sorry I'm being a dick.
It's a pizza pipe.
- A pizza pipe? - Mhm.
I'm sorry about not asking you how you been.
About your dad and all that.
It's fine.
It's not fine. It's shitty.
I forgive you.
Can I be honest with you about something?
Go up and then down. Up and then down.
? Let me lead you on ?
? You know that ?
? I'll leave a bag of bones when I'm done ?
? Take the whole world on ?
? I mean it ?
? Who better than us to get it done ?
? In these days to come ?
? I know that the wind'll blow my heart around ?
? Yeah I've seen enough ?
? I seen my friends let the dark get the better of them ?
? But in the end ?
? All this is for you ?
? Every bit ?
? Of this is for you ?
? When the signs of fashion go ?
? You're still the music in my head oh ?
? And you play on ?
? Play on ?
? Ooh ooh ooh ?
? Ooh ooh ooh ?
? I said I have to go ?
? Don't wanna waste away ?
? Waitin' to be told ?
? My part in the show ?
? I figured out for me ?
Come on.
What the eff Maddie?
What the eff, Ma-Mad...
Donnie, could you give us a minute?
Oh.
Damn.
Yep. Okay.
Sorry.
Come on, man.
What are you doin' down there?
I fell asleep.
I was looking for um, oh, my shirt.
- Okay now, come on. - Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.
- Everything hurts. - Okay.
- Everything hurts. - All right.
Your hands feel great though.
- I love you, man. - Thank you.
- I love you, too. - Okay.
I love you, too.
Okay.
Oh, I think I had pants.
No, I don't see any pants, bro.
So?
Rufus, what?
You don't have any business
telling Jane our private business.
The loan?
Yes, duh.
Okay.
I'm failing to see how that's a problem
worthy of what the fuck?
Now Jane's gonna think I'm lying to her.
Uh, you were lying to her.
I didn't lie.
I just...
I was just telling her what she needed to know.
Okay. I'm already having a day.
I don't need it from you.
You know what, Maddie?
I just don't want you to fuck this up for me, okay?
What?
You don't have any right, any right,
to tell anybody, anybody not even Jane, that I failed.
Wow.
This is sad.
You are sad.
You know you just, you just don't get it.
Oh, no, I think I get it.
I think you're acting pretty pathetic.
Ah, you know...
You know, for you, Rollers is like a goldfish.
If it lives, fine, if it dies, you just, poosh,
flush it down the toilet and move on
like nothing ever happened.
Because I have a life, Rufus.
This is my life.
It's not a game.
That's not my fault.
You know, you can run away if you like,
but uh, mom and dad put everything into this place.
We grew up here.
Exactly.
We grew up here because they could never go home.
You know what Rufus?
That was their choice, but it's not mine.
This is Rufus.
Finally Rufus.
Look kid, whatever's going on,
I'm sure I can help you with it,
but you've gotta take my calls.
Fuck off.
Mills.
Hey.
I was thinking if you need somebody
to play tonight, you know.
Not tonight, Mills.
Okay.
No worries.
Hey ya dingus.
Um, I was thinking that we should um just talk,
do a little debrief.
Um, anyway, uh, I'm gonna go grab some drinks
with some old friends from Central if you wanna join.
Or you know, you could get loaded by yourself.
It's up to you.
Okay.
Hope to see you there.
Yo, it's Tyler.
Um...
I talked to Jane and uh, yeah man,
I, I'm down to do what I can to help.
I know things have been pretty tough.
I think we should talk, though, you know?
We should sort this shit out before the show.
I'm actually grabbing drinks with Jane
tonight with some people from the old crew if you wanna,
I don't know, if you wanna join and we can talk there.
I don't want things to be this way, man.
I miss you.
Um...
All right. I'll uh, I'll see you tonight, I hope.
Hey buddy. Hope you're doing okay.
Wasn't anything going on so I decided to stay home.
You wanna uh, you wanna play some Yahtzee? Monopoly?
You can play with two people.
? Only you, baby, can put out this fire ?
? Only you, baby, can put out this fire ?
? Only you, baby, can put this fire ?
Hey.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey! Wait!
? Like a warm sunshine ?
? On a straight pathway ?
? Yet you are soft ?
Fuck.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
- It's cool, it's cool. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's cool.
It's cool.
? Oh ?
? Here comes that same old hurt ?
? No, no, baby ?
? This can't be true ?
? Now I don't want you to see me cry ?
? Tell me, darlin' ?
? What did I do ?
? Now we can work it out if you want to ?
? But if you feel you'd rather not try ?
? I'll be blue ?
? You said our love would always be ?
? If this is love, oh can't you see ?
? I love you ?
Rufus?
Do you wanna hear one more?
? I looked into her eyes ?
? Bop-she-bop ?
? There I saw smoldering fire ?
? Bop-she-Bop ?
? I held her in my arms ?
? As we stood on the threshold ?
? We stood on the threshold ?
? Ooh we stood on the threshold ?
? Of paradise ?
? Ooh ooh ?
What?
I was just thinking about 15-year-old Rufus.
I think you mean peak Rufus.
I mean chunky Rufus.
- Oh. - Little chunky monster.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You were hanging out at the bar with um,
what is that guy's name?
- What, RJ? - They guy, the with the-
Yes, RJ.
What were we doing?
I mean, trying to look cool probably. Yeah.
God, you were so boring before
you started hanging out with us.
Just a snooze fest.
I don't know why I was hanging out with those guys.
You know, I don't think I realized until last year
that they were just constantly beating the shit out of me.
Seriously.
How do you not notice that somebody's
beating the shit out of you?
I thought I was having fun, too.
Oh.
- Which is dumb as- - Yep.
Yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
I guess I can relate to that.
Let's burn one, baby.
Come on.
Yeah.
- ? So much love, yeah ? - Oh yeah.
Look at that view.
Oh man.
The first time I walked was here.
Really?
Yeah.
Just about every other first, too.
That's wild.
? To make its play ?
? And waiting for peace to have its day ?
? In this world ?
Who is this?
Are you fucking kidding? This is Barbara Howard.
She's good.
Uh yeah. She's good.
She's amazing. She's great.
She's phenomenal.
She is hired. Like, we should book her.
Oh dude, she is huge. She would never play here.
Ooh.
As soon as that was coming out, I was like whoops.
- Jesus. - Back in there.
- Right back in. - Punch to the kidney.
Sorry.
- It's just- - Felt it in the plums.
Passing a gallstone.
Good Lord.
My bad.
I'm eternally sorry.
But it's true.
Yeah, it is true.
Okay. Let me ask you something.
And you don't have to answer.
This is just like food for thought, okay?
- Okay. - Just a little snack.
And you just, I mean, just be 100% honest with yourself
- because this is- - Will you just spit it out?
Okay, okay, okay. I'm just...
Ah, spit it out.
Deep down, are you more scared of
losing Rollers or saving it?
Boom.
Take that one.
Take the train straight to Ponder City
with that in your back pocket.
- Ooh, the rent is high there. - It is.
It is a dangerous neighborhood in Ponder City.
- Get stabbed with a check. - Yeah, watch out.
? Ooh baby ?
? Let somebody know ?
? Come on ?
? Come on ?
? Come on and smile ?
? Ooh ooh ?
? Now don't you know ?
? I'm with you all the way ?
? That's how much I love you ?
? What more can I say ?
? It's easier ?
? It's easier ?
? It's so much easier ?
? It's easier ?
? To smile ?
? Yeah ?
? Smile ?
? Oh paradise ?
Cramer J here.
We've got a special track for a man having a tough night.
We're gonna play one of his hits,
his only hit in fact, "10 Letters."
Rufus, this one's for you.
Yeah, man.
? It's all right ?
I will a bag of bones.
? Every day ?
? This is for you ?
? That's what you wanted yesterday ?
? Should we back down, step back, walk away ?
Bro.
Bro, you won't my calls, bro.
? It's just flower and decay ?
Let's jam, bro!
Come on!
The fuck?
What the fuck, bro?
My bad.
My bad.
It's like I'm just tired, you know?
All right, we're good.
We're good.
Remember also the Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of evil come
and the years draw near in which you will say
I have no pleasure in them.
Before the silver cord snaps,
and the golden bowl is broken,
and the pitcher is shattered at the fountain
and the dust returns to the earth as it was,
and the spirit
returns to God who gave it.
Humanity.
All is vanity.
Oh, hey, sleepy head.
Where the hell are we?
- Mmm. - Oh, Donnie.
No.
- Mmm. - Ah.
Let me love you.
I'm glad you're okay.
Yeah, me too.
Seriously, dude, what the H happened?
Lost your shit, dude.
Mhm.
And you pooped your pants.
Don't worry.
Nurse didn't wipe your butt.
I did.
Hey.
I'm glad you're feeling better.
Can you guys give me and Rufus a minute?
Man, this pudding is so good.
So much better here than at the gas station.
I think it's like
- a temperature thing. - Jane, Jane, just...
You went on a little nighttime adventure
and crashed your car into Tyler's studio.
Tyler!
Tyler!
So no show?
Jesus.
Rufus.
I'm really glad we had this conversation.
What?
You gotta figure out what you want
to do with Rollers, man.
I don't know.
I just know people need Rollers.
Dude.
The whole community is not gonna fall apart
because you gotta quit.
You're not fuckin' George Bailey.
But you are Rufus Paisley.
And I need you.
I'm really glad that you came back.
Me, too.
It's a sad day here in the Grotto folks.
It feels like we're losing a member of a family.
After 101 years,
tonight marks the last show before Rollers
closes its doors forever.
Now we called up longtime owner
and operator Rufus Paisley to give us some thoughts,
and he asked us to play an interview
we did with his dad years ago
when Rollers was hitting a bit of a rough patch.
Roll the tape, Jerry.
Rollers is a huge part of this community.
Now is this the end? Is this the end of the line?
Well, my grandmother,
her favorite thing to say was there's a time for everything.
A time to eat, and a time to be hungry,
she used to say when I'd come crashing into her kitchen.
Well a lovely story.
I think what we're all dying to know, though,
is how hot was your grandma?
The people wanna know, Mr. Paisley.
All kidding aside, settle down, Dingus, okay?
Mr. Paisley, we're dying to know,
is this the end of the line?
No, that's not why I'm here.
But when that day does come and it will,
it won't be the end.
See, Rollers isn't just a place,
a couple of plaster walls and a stage.
Rollers is a family, a group of all sorts
of crazy ass people who came together
to make all sorts of things like love, trouble, music.
And I know that as long as people keep doing that,
keep reaching outside themselves, keep that, that spirit,
Rollers will always live on.
Hey.
Woo! Yeah, baby.
? Time ?
? Can make you change your mind ?
? Can make you laugh ?
? Can make you cry ?
? Girl, will you ever be mine ?
? Time, yeah ?
? Can make you feel a little bit blue ?
? When it comes to you, baby ?
? Aye ?
? Your time has always been true, yeah ?
? Me and my baby ?
? We were walkin' ?
? We stopped, yeah ?
? We was talkin' ?
? I said baby ?
? You got love on your mind ?
? Oh, but lovin', babe ?
? Takes a little time, yeah, yeah ?
? Time ?
? Can feel just like a dream ?
? I'm thinkin' about time, yeah ?
? Oh, just ?
? When I was a child I walked like a child ?
? Talked like a child, I acted like a child ?
? Now I'm a man through with my childish ways ?
? And baby I got news for you ?
? Oh there's a few things that you gotta do ?
? You gotta hold me ?
? Hold me ?
? Love me ?
? Love me ?
? Squeeze me ?
? Squeeze me ?
? Or I'll be gone ?
? Little girl ?
? Listen ?
? When I was child I played like a child ?
? Stayed like a child, obeyed like a child ?
? Now I'm a man through with my childish ways ?
? You see, I'll leave my shell like a butterfly ?
? Spread my wings, take to the sky ?
? I'll be leavin' ?
? Leavin' ?
? I'll be leavin' ?
? Leavin' ?
? I'll be free then ?
? Free then ?
? 'Cause I'll be gone ?
? Look ?
? There's a few things you gotta do ?
? Let me tell me about a few ?
? You gotta love me ?
? You gotta hold me ?
? Squeeze me ?
? Or I'll be gone ?
? Yeah ?
