Original subtitles

DAVE: I've never been on tour before,

so, you know, I didn't even know what to expect,

but I imagined it would feel like...

freedom, you know?

Like, freedom from having to create every day.

Freedom from being a prisoner of my own ambition.

And I could just have one task every night:

perform my music.

But it's a lot different making these songs,

like, in my studio by myself.

I mean, every night I'm out there and I really do, like,

face the music, you know?

I'm seeing the crowd.

And I love my fans, I really do,

but some of them are ruining it for the rest of them,

because we're at a time right now

where our country is, like, eating itself alive,

and I'm up there making jokes

that I don't even know if I find funny anymore.

A-And, like, on top of that, every moment

I'm, like, being filmed and scrutinized,

and, like, if I say the wrong thing onstage

or do the wrong thing, who knows what would happen?

A-And I thought this tour was gonna be, like, me living,

but it really just feels like I'm surviving.

I need to rebrand 'cause I'm breaking down.

(sighs) I just can't do it anymore.

So what are you saying?

He's saying he wants to cancel the rest of the tour.

Yeah.

(Dave sighs)

We'll be okay.

Think about Lincoln.

Everything that he went through.

Stay strong mentally.

'Cause we're gonna get through this as a unit.

Honestly, I just don't even know what this doc is anymore.

Like, it feels half-baked if we're stopping now.

Look, life isn't all about content, okay?

Everything is content, dawg.

No, Gata, not everything is content.

I am not content.

I'm not content.

(sighs) How does Jack Harlow...

How does this guy's followers go up like this?

- EMMA: Comparison is the thief of joy. - (phone chimes)

DAVE: None of those fucking phrasings today, okay? Those idioms?

They're ill-kempt. Do I need to wear this mic anymore,

- now that you're not interested in... - EMMA: Who cares?

GATA: Come on, man.

Okay. 1:58, Dave. Let's go. We got to go.

- We got to get ready for this call. - The call's at 2:00.

- I need the two minutes. - No, 'cause I need to connect

to the Wi-Fi because there's no signal out here, Dave.

- Wi-Fi connects instantaneously. - So we need to be prepared.

- 'Cause they're gonna call any minute now. - Look, just let me gather

- my whole... - I know you want to cancel your tour

for your mental health, and I'm here for you, okay?

Bieber did it last year.

It's not that big of a deal.

It's okay. I love you, all right?

- I'm doing this with you. - I know.

I love you, too, I just feel so bad for all my fans

that bought tickets. I love my fans.

You can't feel bad for the fans. They're gonna get a full refund.

Plus, your fans would rather have you happy and healthy.

- (phone ringing) - I would hope so. - And look.

- And look. What did I say? - They're calling.

- And they're early. You're... - That's why I do what I do.

- You're buttoned up. Hey. - Yo! You got Mike and Dave.

- Both. - KEITH (over phone): Yeah, it's Keith.

Oh, Keith. The big dog.

What do we owe this pleasure to you-- uh...

- What's up? - Hi.

Yeah, shut the fuck up.

What you idiots are proposing is outlandish.

Dave here. (chuckles)

So, look, I just want you to know that I really put

a lot of thought into this decision to cancel the tour.

It's not one I took lightly.

I don't know if you watch CNN these days, but, like...

the nation is so divided right now.

- Pretty toxic. - Yeah.

Again, shut the fuck up and listen to me.

You have been a thorn in this label's side

- since we signed you. - Yeah.

- "Jail"? - That's a good song still.

The shit in Korea?

Let's just keep this conversation

purely domestic, if possible.

If we start talking international issues,

- we're just gonna be talking for hours. - Yeah. It's dirty.

You refused to promote your album at the VMAs.

You did a song with Gator? Fucking Gator?

It's Gata.

Yeah, it's-- Whoa!

- Whoa! Whoa! - (metal screeching)

Sorry, folks. Engine's being frisky, okay?

KEITH: Am I on speakerphone? Take me off.

MIKE: No. Uh, sorry about that, Keith.

Let me-- Hold on, let me talk to you outside, Keith.

This is the most mismanaged operation I've ever seen.

You've recouped about 18 grand

out of a $400,000 advance, leaving...

- $382,000. - Right.

And you've breached contract more than enough times,

so you will be hearing from our lawyers.

Whoa. You're gonna get litigious?

Yes, and to put it even more simply,

we just don't believe in this Lil Dicky shit anymore.

(laughs): Okay.

That is-- that hurts. But...

Look, I understand that, like,

the Lil Dicky thing hasn't really popped off

the way that we all would have imagined it would,

but I have a whole plan to rebrand.

Mike, take me off speakerphone now.

Hey, Keith. Yeah, okay, l-look, let us come back with a plan

- to show you that this can be way more cost-efficient. - I can't hear.

Okay?

I am going to take care of this.

I can prove to you

this is a-a well-run machine, you know?

Let-let me show you that we can get our shit together here.

I promise you, even if it seems bad now, it's not...

Holy shit!

(softly): What the fuck?

- What the fuck? - Cliff.

What in the fuck?!

- Cliff! - Cliff! Cliff!

Get away from the bus, Dave! Get away from the bus!

Dave! Dave, get over here!

Get him away from the bus!

Oh, man, it was the rats.

The rats, the wires down in the undercarriage.

What the fuck are you talking about, bro?

We could have fucking died.

- All my shit is on there, bro! - (screams)

- We're alive. We're alive. - You better ask somebody about me...

- My fucking laptop! - My God, we are so lucky.

How much does a fucking bus cost?

- (moans) - I ain't worrying about that shit.

We could have died. Like...

I'm getting calls. I have 90 unanswered texts

DAVE: That's my sex doll legs.

How many Instagram followers did you have this morning?

Uh... Wait, I don't keep track.

Like 847,000 or something?

Well, you've got 2.9 million now.

No, I don't.

2.9 million in, like, three hours?

ELZ: Everybody thinks you're dead.

It's the number one trending topic on Twitter, bro.

- ELZ: My mom has texted me, bro. - That's crazy, man.

ELZ: I don't know what the fuck to do.

DAVE: Oh, my God. #RIPLilDicky?

Holy shit. This is exactly the story I needed.

Okay, I need the Wi-Fi right now.

- Someone give me the Wi-Fi. - ELZ: Okay, yeah. I need to...

Dave, can I talk to you outside for a second?

Yeah, give me a second, I just want to see what's going on...

EMMA: What are you-- what are you doing?

- No. - Talk outside, just for two seconds.

- What are you doing? Stop messing... - Real fast.

Outside. Outside. Real fast. Outside, outside, outside.

- Give me my phone right now. - Just one minute. Please.

- Give me my phone. - GATA: Mike,

- you always tripping, man. - I'll go.

Hey, can I have my phone back so I can tweet to the world

- that I'm not dead, please? - Yeah, yes, yes, we can do that.

- We can do that. - Yeah. Thank you.

Or we don't...

- we don't at all. - What?

Just-just for a short amount of time, a little period of time,

- we do nothing. - I don't understand.

I'm not gonna let people think I'm dead.

My mom thinks I'm dead.

- My-- Give me the phone. - Listen. No, no, no, Dave.

- I have to call my parents, man. - Shh...

- My mom thinks I'm dead. - Listen. Listen.

Listen to me for two seconds, please.

Okay, just-- Your streams are up. Way up.

- Give me my phone. - And I'm talking so way up

that we could recoup the label's losses--

all of them-- in one day.

- One day? - I did the math. One day.

This could fix our entire situation.

If we just play into this little misunderstanding

just a little bit, you know, and...

We can't do this, man.

- We're not doing this. - Elz. Think about Elz.

I mean, he's got pub on most of those songs.

He produced almost the whole thing.

He's broke as shit.

GATA: Trending right now.

On Twitter. Everywhere.

ELZ: That's crazy.

Or Gata? Gata's streams-- through the roof.

- It's absurd, what's happening right now. - Okay, they're not...

Even Emma, the documentary, it's like

think about the eyes that gets.

It's #RIPLilDicky that's trending.

That's my name, okay?

I'm gonna deal with the fallout.

It's already fucking trending, dude.

The Internet has it, it's gone.

It-it exists, Dave. You know?

And at some point, you're gonna come forward and go,

"Hey, I'm not dead, obviously."

- That's gonna be weird, and that's gonna be... - No. Because

you didn't control the narrative in the first place.

You're just saying, "Hey, I'm not dead, you guys."

And what's the difference in doing that right now

or tomorrow morning?

It's like...

Man...

Y-You're playing with fire here doing this.

Why? We didn't do anything.

Let's do nothing.

I really wish I was on my Adderall right now.

This is the first time in ten years

that I haven't been on my Adderall.

My brain is not able to fucking process this shit.

There's a lot of money coming in.

Let me process it, okay? That's what I'm here to do.

Do I even want more attention on...?

I mean, this is the same music

that I just canceled my tour for,

because I was so ashamed by it.

Why do I want more eyes on that?

I need to do a whole rebrand.

Oh, what-- What's a better rebrand than

coming back from the dead?

This could be huge.

Massive. We just let it drag out a little bit longer.

- Uh-huh. - Yes.

I don't, I don't even have to check Twitter.

Why did I-- I didn't have to know--

I don't even have to know about this.

No.

I don't know.

Look, I've...

I got to tweet that I'm alive.

I have to tweet that I'm alive. Give me my phone.

You got nothing to be concerned about!

Everyone loves the diary. You're, like,

Hey, uh, we got to go.

Elz is over it.

I almost keyed a man in the face.

Being back in L. A., honestly, it's...

just the right move for the next phase of this.

It's a full media operation at this point.

Yeah, we got to come out of it right.

I mean, your audience has gotten way, way bigger.

- Yeah. - (phone chimes)

Oh, that's-that's my phone.

Uh... will you grab that?

- I don't want to... - Yeah.

Who is it?

Uh...

your brother.

Oh. Put it down. I'll hit him later.

Okay. I...

I read it.

About your dad.

Yeah. Yeah, my-- our dad has, uh, Alzheimer's.

It's a... like, a recent development.

- I am so sorry, Mike. - It's totally cool.

My brother's been taking care of him, and the deal was...

I-I'd take him to L. A., put him in one of those... (sniffles)

you know, assisted living homes as soon as the tour's done.

And...

the tour's done. (scoffs)

On one hand, you know, he's never gonna remember being a,

you know, emotionally abusive asshole.

But he's also never gonna forget

to call me a failure when he sees my face, that's for sure.

Hey, you've managed the hell out

- of this situation, Mike. - (sighs)

- I'm serious. - Oh, Dave. Come on, man.

It's fine. It's totally good.

I-- honestly, I don't even want to think about it.

'Cause that's why I did this.

I took this tour because I just...

I wanted to be with you and get that...

We're not gonna let my dad rain on this parade.

I mean, look at what we're about to pull off.

Yeah.

The number one song in the country

and the number one album in the country?

48 hours.

- Please lay low. - I'm not--

No one's gonna see me.

And then...

everything that you've ever wanted.

- DAVE: That's crazy. - You called it.

Do you remember that-- you remember that email

that you sent me before you uploaded your first video?

That destiny manifesto?

Oh, my God. I forgot all about that.

R-Read it to me.

- You w ant me to pull it up... - Right now.

Do it.

DAVE: All right. Fuck it.
