0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Now it's totally gentrified. - I know, Dad.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I've had the tour.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32Was there bad traffic?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Uh, no, traffic was actually pretty good. I was just passing by.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38OK, well, we were just... We were...
0:07:38 > 0:07:41closing up about this audio commentary piece.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Yeah, shit idea. It was a shit idea then.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Still a shit idea. It didn't age well.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Oh, yeah, we... we appreciate your candour.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52We had... We had a different view of it here, though.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I mean, musicians, for the most part,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56are pretty much monosyllabic teenagers
0:07:56 > 0:08:00who don't have that much to say, and that's the good ones, right?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03So what are we doing here? The music industry is fine.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It's always gonna be fine. We always have been fine.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Maybe the kids are right. Maybe music should be free anyway.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Alarming thing to hear the head of a record company say.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02- I'm in.- What?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06I want to make records with you. I want to... I want to produce you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09I want to sign you. We're meant to work together.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Sorry, didn't you see what just happened up there?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Yeah, what? Are you feeling sorry for yourself?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16No, I like my music. Who cares if they don't get it, right?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18You just need to work on your performance a bit.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm not a performer, I write songs from time to time.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Are all the songs as good as that one?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Are you really an A&R man? You look more like a homeless man.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I've been celebrating all week. I signed a band, we got carried away.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's some song you got there.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33I promise you, it could be a big hit.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Plus, you're beautiful.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Sorry, what's beauty got to do with anything?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Jesus, you're tricky, aren't you? - No, I actually just think
0:20:39 > 0:20:42that music is about ears, not eyes.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45And I'm not Judy Garland just off a Greyhound bus
0:20:45 > 0:20:47looking for stardom, but, really, thank you.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55OK, bye.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Bye.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03# So before you go
0:21:05 > 0:21:08# Enjoy my show... #
0:21:10 > 0:21:12OK, here's the truth.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I couldn't have signed you if I wanted to.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- OK.- I didn't come from a signing tonight.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I haven't signed anybody in seven years.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21My label's completely lost all faith in me.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22So why did you give me your card?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Force of habit. If I look homeless, it's because I practically am.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27I left my home about a year or so ago.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I'm sleeping on a shitty mattress in some shitty apartment,
0:21:30 > 0:21:32and I wasn't celebrating tonight.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I was drinking my ass off standing on a subway platform
0:21:34 > 0:21:37ready to kill myself, and then I heard your song.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Want to get a beer?- Sure.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42OK, come on.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46"Dan Mulligan. Born 1966.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49"Headed A&R department at Island Records for two years.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52"Left to consonant-found indie label Distressed Records
0:21:52 > 0:21:54"with Harvard classmate Saul Byron."
0:21:54 > 0:21:55So you own Distressed Records?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I sold all my interests due to emotional difficulties.
0:21:58 > 0:22:03- What emotional difficulties? - I was too emotional. Read on.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06"Very active on the hip-hop scene in New York in the early '90s,
0:22:06 > 0:22:08"the pair discovered
0:22:08 > 0:22:12"numerous breakthrough artists. Won two Grammys as producer.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15"Lives in New York with wife, music journalist Miriam Hart,
0:22:15 > 0:22:17"and their daughter."
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- What happened to the Grammys? - I pawned them.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23You pawned them? How much did you get?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26125 for the both of them, which got me nice and wasted
0:22:26 > 0:22:28one weekend a couple months ago.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Were you drunk when you heard my song?- Absolutely.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- That's when the magic happens. - What magic?- I hear things.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- You hear things?- Arrangements.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You need to be drunk for that.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40You must've been drunk tonight, cos nobody else heard.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43No, your song's good. It's you.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Standing up there like a tomboy. I don't mean to be offensive,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49but don't you think that looks a little passe?
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Really?- Seriously.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We get you a look and a killer video,
0:22:53 > 0:22:55and you'll go straight to the top.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00I'm thinking Norah Jones, singer-songwriter-thing at a piano.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Or the...or The Cardigans, back in the day, when they...
0:23:03 > 0:23:08when they first came to America? Maybe even Deborah Harry.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12A male band behind you. What? You find that amusing?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13Sorry, something went down the wrong way.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Sorry? No, you were saying? Me with a cardigan on? Norah Jones?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Babe, who the fuck do you think you are?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You're gonna stand up on a stage with a beat-up guitar
0:23:22 > 0:23:24and you think you're the new Carole fucking King?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28No, I think that an A&R man telling an artist how they should dress
0:23:28 > 0:23:30or come across is total bullshit.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32People want authenticity.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36OK, babe. Authenticity. Give me the name of one artist
0:23:36 > 0:23:39that you think passes your authenticity test.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Dylan.- Dylan!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45That is the most cultivated artist -
0:23:45 > 0:23:48his hair, his sunglasses. He changes his look every decade.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Randy Newman.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I fucking love Randy Newman. OK? You got me on that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Listen to me.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I am not saying that you can't be
0:23:58 > 0:24:01a real bona fide motherfucker in this business,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04but you got to do whatever it takes and get people in to see your shows,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07where the music can start to do its real work.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Oh, my God. What are we even talking about?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15You can't sign me, and I don't want to be signed.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17That's right! What's not to like?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Come on, let's get out of here.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21GRETTA CHUCKLES
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Ah, shit. You're gonna have to get these beers, though.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, so, uh...
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- It was really nice to meet you. - Oh. Where are you going?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36To sleep. I have a plane to catch tomorrow.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Where?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Home.- Why?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Because I'm sick of this city, and I want to go back to uni.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Oh, come on. Come on, no-one comes to New York and just leaves
0:24:46 > 0:24:48without something terrible happening.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50What? What happened to you?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Hey.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Come on, you can...you can share with me. I'm no stranger to misery.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Listen, just come to my label
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and let me play your demo to my partner.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08If it doesn't work out, I will personally pay to change your ticket.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11What's one more day in New York, for crying out loud?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You're just probably gonna go home and mope around.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17All right, look, I'm gonna go home and think about it,
0:25:17 > 0:25:22and I'll call you either way tomorrow. OK?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Good answer.- Yeah.

0:28:45 > 0:28:46- Can I ask you something?- Sure.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Should I have come over in, like, a week or two
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and let you settle in first and get used to everything?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- No.- Are you sure?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57I don't know if I could do this without you. It's kind of scary.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Am I a wimp for saying that? - Eh...
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Hey! There he is. Big Dave.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11What's up, kid? How you doing, brother?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Good to see you. Gretta? - Nice to meet you.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Come on in, guys.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Put Dave at the head of the table. - All right, I like it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- You meet everyone?- Hi, everybody.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21My assistant, Mim, the beautiful Mim. This is, uh...

0:29:25 > 0:29:27The rest of the gang you'll meet, spend time with.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31So, Gretta, you're gonna play guitar on a track or two, I hope, right?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Oh, yeah, sure. I mean, if Dave wants.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Gretta and I have been writing together for a couple years now,
0:29:36 > 0:29:37before the film came along.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40So I would love for us to try a couple of her songs.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Did you...did you write on the film with him?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44No. No, no, no. No, I...
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I mean, that's the sound we're after is from the movie.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Of course.- Oui?- Yes, yes. - Si? Capice?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Yes, I just, you know... Gretta's very much a part of the inspiration
0:29:52 > 0:29:56behind everything, you know, so I just thought...
0:29:56 > 0:29:59She's not just my girlfriend. We're partners almost.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- I just wanted to include her. - Um, just to be completely clear,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I'm...I'm just tagging along on this.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I'm really happy to be here and more than happy
0:30:07 > 0:30:09to accompany Dave on a couple.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12How sweet is this girl? I love that.

0:30:44 > 0:30:48- What's that?- That's matcha tea. - Matcha tea?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Yeah. It's got, like, four million antioxidants in it.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- Oh, my God, it tastes like piss. - I like it.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Samurais used to drink it before they went into battle.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58You're not a samurai, you're a songwriter.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Well, I'm kind of like a samurai. - Are you?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- 'OK, bring it back to the start.' - Let me give these to the guys.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Oh, hey. We got to go to LA for a week on Monday.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25It's like that old joke. You put the key in the door, you break a window.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26My God, look at all this stuff.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Yeah, a lot of the studios are upgrading.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33So they're practically giving stuff away. I can record an album here soon.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Well, that'd be cool.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Look at you. You've got CDs.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Yeah, I just phased out all my cassettes. Have a sit down.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- It's very retro of you. - I have whisky or water.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Whisky, please. - Of course you will.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58the first thing they ask is if I know your boyfriend.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Tell me about it. I'm becoming "Dave Kohl's girlfriend" back home.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'm like, "Hello, we used to be a team. What happened?"
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You know what they say - get your songs in a movie.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09So this is me. This is where I've been for God knows how long.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10- I love it.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Did you see the bed? I made that bed.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14That's impressive. How do you get up there?

0:34:32 > 0:34:33SHE LAUGHS
0:34:33 > 0:34:35He's saying, "Look, it's a guitar, but it's not.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38"This is the actual size of my penis."
0:34:38 > 0:34:39- GRETTA:- Why? No.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- DAVE:- I am gonna shoot this because you have to play that
0:34:41 > 0:34:43the way you just played it.

0:36:42 > 0:36:44and I think it's incredible, and is it...
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Is it about me? It's not about your other boyfriend, right?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I don't know if it's about you, it's definitely for you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- I'll take it. - It's your Christmas present
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- cos I can't afford to buy you another one. Happy Christmas! - This is the only present I want.

0:43:35 > 0:43:38I... You know, I told you, I write songs from time to time.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- What do you write them for? - What do you mean, "what for"?

0:43:45 > 0:43:46She. Yes, she seems to.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- How do you know? - Because she purrs.
0:43:49 > 0:43:50Maybe she's booing.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53No, she purrs at Leonard Cohen, too, and she has very good taste.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- Maybe she's fucking with you.- Can we stop talking about cats now?

0:44:30 > 0:44:31Thank you.
0:44:35 > 0:44:37I'm not into it, it's a little undercooked for me.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40She seems to have kind of an attitude problem and...
0:44:40 > 0:44:42What are you looking for, man?
0:44:42 > 0:44:44What, you want some... some little teenage pop star
0:44:44 > 0:44:47whose mom's been raising her since two years old for stardom?
0:44:47 > 0:44:49- I mean... - That's not what I'm looking for,
0:44:49 > 0:44:51but if you know someone like that, I mean...
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Just give me the money to make the demo. I'll take her into the studio.
0:44:54 > 0:44:56Get a hot-shit producer.
0:44:56 > 0:44:58Get a couple session musicians, dial the thing out.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01Then you can hear what I'm hearing, then you can tell me to fuck myself.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04People send us their demos. It's not the other way around.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06We don't... we don't make demos.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26So I've been thinking.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29Why do we even need to rent a fucking studio?
0:45:31 > 0:45:36Because... you need a desk, a live room and soundproofing.
0:45:36 > 0:45:39Laptop, Pro Tools, a couple dynamic mics,
0:45:39 > 0:45:43- and the city is our fucking live room.- You mean record outside?
0:45:43 > 0:45:44- That's right.- Like where?
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Everywhere.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50Fuck him. We don't need a demo. Let's... let's record an album.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52Every song we do in a different location.
0:45:52 > 0:45:54All over New York City. And we do it through the summer,
0:45:54 > 0:45:57and it becomes this tribute to this beautiful,
0:45:57 > 0:46:00goddamn crazy, fractured mess of a city, New York.
0:46:00 > 0:46:04OK, like, under the bridge on the Lower East Side.
0:46:04 > 0:46:05Top of the Empire State Building.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07Rowing boats in the lake in Central Park.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10Chinatown. Cathedral of Saint John the Divine.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13OK, in the subway, in fucking Harlem, everywhere, OK?
0:46:13 > 0:46:15OK, so what happens if it starts raining?
0:46:15 > 0:46:17Whatever happens, we record it.
0:46:17 > 0:46:20- If we get arrested? - Keep rolling. It'll be beautiful.
0:46:20 > 0:46:22You like it?
0:46:22 > 0:46:24What do you think? It's good.
0:46:24 > 0:46:26- It's good. Come on. - Will you produce it?
0:46:26 > 0:46:27- Me?- Yeah.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29No, I haven't produced in a long time.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31We'll get somebody young to produce it.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33- No, but I want you to do it.- Why?
0:46:33 > 0:46:35Because I do.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38I'll give you strings, but we definitely need piano.
0:46:38 > 0:46:39Fill in the guitars.
0:46:39 > 0:46:41- Got it. I love it.- Done.- Done.
0:46:41 > 0:46:45The world's first Jag mobile recording studio...
0:46:45 > 0:46:46is done.
0:46:48 > 0:46:51- It's bloody genius, it is. - Where do you want to go?
0:46:51 > 0:46:56We need musicians. Terminally, miserably bored musicians.
0:46:56 > 0:47:00And after that, I think, then you bring in the violin and cello.
0:47:00 > 0:47:01First cello, then violin.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03When we get into that lead guitar thing,
0:47:03 > 0:47:06I want it to just become a whole different kind of song.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16This is Malcolm. Malcolm is a child prodigy.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19He's been playing violin since he was five years old.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21I technically started when I was four.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22Four.
0:47:22 > 0:47:24- Wow.- And this is his older sister, Rachel.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27She was at the Manhattan School of Music on a full scholarship.
0:47:27 > 0:47:30- Top-of-her-class cellist. - That's amazing.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34So here's the deal. I can't afford to pay you up front,
0:47:34 > 0:47:37so I want to offer you a... a legitimate back-end deal.
0:47:37 > 0:47:38Sound good?
0:47:38 > 0:47:41Yeah, as long as it's not fucking Vivaldi.
0:47:41 > 0:47:42It's not fucking Vivaldi.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44It's great. No, no, no. I'm not... It's great.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48We definitely need piano. Like, fill in the guitar underneath.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51- Major seventh... - Got it. I love it.
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Steve, beautiful.
0:48:00 > 0:48:01INDISTINCT
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- Zach, what's going on? - I quit.
0:48:12 > 0:48:14- Good luck, girls. GIRLS:- Bye!
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Keep in touch, yeah?
0:48:15 > 0:48:17When we get into that guitar thing,
0:48:17 > 0:48:19I want it to just become a whole different kind of song.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21I want it to be punk meets...
0:48:21 > 0:48:23pop. And have some fun.
0:48:46 > 0:48:48- Ah, he's home. - DOORBELL RINGS
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Dano, what's up, man?

0:48:56 > 0:48:59- What say you give me some love? - This is it, gangsta paradise.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01- I'm glad to see you. - Thanks to you, thanks to you.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04- Come give me a hug. I don't know you, but...- Hello!
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Gretta. Great singer-songwriter.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07- Let's get another one.- Another one?
0:49:07 > 0:49:09Where have you been? It's been two or three years.
0:49:09 > 0:49:12- I don't appreciate this shit. - Been on the down low a little bit.
0:49:12 > 0:49:15- Doing this, doing that. - Waiting for the next move.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18Anticipating the next groove. BEAT-BOXING
0:49:18 > 0:49:21I know you got a lot of shit to prove. Right?
0:49:21 > 0:49:24Been on the underground, looking for that new sound.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26We ain't fucking around.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Yeah, cos if it ain't right, then it's wrong.
0:49:29 > 0:49:30And the road is long,
0:49:30 > 0:49:34and you're only as strong as your next move.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37- You feel that? - Good, man.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40- That's pretty much it. - Damn, that was like some...
0:49:40 > 0:49:43Paranormal Activity type shit moving through me.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45- You know me. - I'm just so happy to see you.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48- So nice. - Fat Jimmy, did you get that down?
0:49:48 > 0:49:50- Yeah, I got it. - Cos that was exceptionally good.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53Hold my hand, baby, come on. Now, how can I help you, brother?
0:49:53 > 0:49:54An outdoor album?
0:49:54 > 0:49:56- That's right. - That's fucking crazy.
0:49:56 > 0:49:59I wish I could've thought of that. What do you want me to do?
0:49:59 > 0:50:02I need musicians. I need a bass player and a drummer.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05- I got plenty of musicians. - The problem is, we can't pay them.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09Fuck it, I'll pay them.
0:50:09 > 0:50:11- Why?- What do you mean, why?
0:50:11 > 0:50:13For him, of course.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16My brother, thank you.
0:50:16 > 0:50:19- Now, come on...- No.- Get your sexy self in the pool. Come on.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21No. Don't you touch me. I will kill you!
0:50:21 > 0:50:24- She's English. She's a little uptight.- Yeah...
0:50:24 > 0:50:27- Good luck on the album, Gretta. - Thank you.
0:50:27 > 0:50:31Everything you see around here, this crib, these cars,
0:50:31 > 0:50:34they're all because of him, and I don't ever forget that.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36- I get it. - No, no, no, no, no.
0:50:36 > 0:50:38You can't know.
0:50:38 > 0:50:40A guy like that falls on his lip for a couple of years,
0:50:40 > 0:50:43people lose sight of who he is, and they don't treat him
0:50:43 > 0:50:45with the respect he deserves.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47- Don't listen to anything he's saying.- It's bullshit.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49- Come on.- Yeah.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51- Thanks.- All right.
0:50:51 > 0:50:53- Bye.- Bye.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09- You're a genius. - You're not listening to this.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12- You don't hear what I hear.- You're gonna make this amazing, beautiful.

0:51:50 > 0:51:52We're gonna do this for five bucks
0:51:52 > 0:51:54and five lollipops, one for each of us.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Throw in a box of cigarettes and a lighter.

0:53:14 > 0:53:16# The bloody nose of defeat
0:53:17 > 0:53:21# While your victory bell's ringing
0:53:21 > 0:53:23# My whole life's turned around

0:55:11 > 0:55:14This is Gretta. She's the songwriter I was telling you about.
0:55:14 > 0:55:16- Hello. How you doing? - My daughter, Violet.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29So who was the cute guy? The one in the blue shirt.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32- Greg. You noticed him? - Sure. I mean, who wouldn't?
0:55:32 > 0:55:35- He's gorgeous. - He's totally out of our league.
0:55:35 > 0:55:38He's out of your league?
0:55:38 > 0:55:40Well, I mean, he didn't look out of your league.
0:55:44 > 0:55:46Ignore him.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48How do you get someone to notice you're ignoring them
0:55:48 > 0:55:50if they're ignoring you?
0:55:50 > 0:55:52He's not ignoring you. You're beautiful.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55He knows that you're there. He's just hedging his bets.
0:55:55 > 0:55:56But...
0:55:56 > 0:56:00You have to be really sure that you actually like him, you know.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02That's it's not just that he's the guy at school to be seen with.
0:56:02 > 0:56:04No, I do really like him.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07Well, then you have to find a way to get him to ask you out.
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Yes, but how?
0:56:09 > 0:56:12Well, for starters, stop dressing like you're totally easy.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18I thought this was sort of sexy, it's American Apparel.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20No, it is sort of sexy. It's very, very sexy,
0:56:20 > 0:56:25but it doesn't leave much to the imagination, you know?
0:56:25 > 0:56:26I guess.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29You want to go shopping?
0:56:30 > 0:56:31I do.
0:56:31 > 0:56:32- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:56:53 > 0:56:55Hey, you should come and sing on a track.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59I can't sing. I can play a bit of guitar...
0:56:59 > 0:57:00Can you?! We're doing one on Thursday.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03It's gonna be simple. You should come play.

0:57:11 > 0:57:13- That ain't cool. - What? What?
0:57:17 > 0:57:20I don't know if she can play guitar well enough to play on a track.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22I don't want to embarrass her. What if she can't play?
0:57:22 > 0:57:25Look, it's going to be easy. Let her do it.

0:57:43 > 0:57:45Listen, I was wondering, uh,
0:57:45 > 0:57:48you think it would be cool if she came and played guitar
0:57:48 > 0:57:52on one of these songs that I'm recording on Thursday?
0:57:52 > 0:57:53(She's terrible at guitar.)
0:57:53 > 0:57:55- Well, she's not bad. - She's terrible.
0:57:55 > 0:57:57I think she'll be OK.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00- Well, she's... - Yeah. 5:00, will you bring her?
0:58:00 > 0:58:02I mean, that's up to you.

0:58:19 > 0:58:21- Thank you.- All right.
0:58:21 > 0:58:22- Bye.- Thank you.
0:58:22 > 0:58:23Bye. CHUCKLES

0:58:37 > 0:58:40You know, it was nice to see you with Violet today.
0:58:41 > 0:58:46- It must be hard not seeing her more. - Yeah, it's...
0:58:47 > 0:58:49So why don't you?
0:58:49 > 0:58:52I mean, she obviously really needs her father around.
0:58:52 > 0:58:55What, are you the fucking social services now?
0:58:55 > 0:58:56No, no, I mean, I'm just saying.
0:58:57 > 0:59:00It must have been fairly tense for you to leave,
0:59:00 > 0:59:03especially seeing as how much she obviously wants you around.
0:59:03 > 0:59:04CLEARS THROAT
0:59:07 > 0:59:10I... I'm gonna split. I'll see you tomorrow morning.

0:59:35 > 0:59:37What does that mean?
0:59:37 > 0:59:38Look, I just...
0:59:38 > 0:59:40- What?- I saw how sweet she was today,
0:59:40 > 0:59:43and I just felt sorry for you being away from that.
0:59:43 > 0:59:45That is such a crock of shit. You were judging me.
0:59:45 > 0:59:47You think that I left that relationship
0:59:47 > 0:59:49because I'm some sort of selfish, depressed prick,
0:59:49 > 0:59:51- which I am, by the way. - No. I don't think
0:59:51 > 0:59:54you're a selfish, depressed prick. I think you've let your troubles
0:59:54 > 0:59:57- get in the way of your entire life. - Oh, babe, babe.
0:59:57 > 0:59:59You're really showing your age right now.
0:59:59 > 1:00:01You have no idea what happens between two people
1:00:01 > 1:00:03after 18 years of marriage, all right?
1:00:03 > 1:00:06And because you're willing to hang around for some asshole
1:00:06 > 1:00:09after he totally betrayed you, that's your business.
1:00:09 > 1:00:10I'm sorry, you're right.
1:00:10 > 1:00:12I put a lot of time and effort into that
1:00:12 > 1:00:15and, no, I'm not just walking away cos of a bump in the road!
1:00:15 > 1:00:18"Bump in the road"? I left that relationship
1:00:18 > 1:00:20cos I was having a fucking nervous breakdown,
1:00:20 > 1:00:22and she was out there fucking some other guy,
1:00:22 > 1:00:24planning how she was gonna start a new life with him
1:00:24 > 1:00:26when I was here taking care of my kid.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29You have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
1:00:29 > 1:00:31You know nothing!
1:00:34 > 1:00:37SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE
1:00:43 > 1:00:47She goes to Europe to work on a junket, and, um...
1:00:47 > 1:00:51she ends up meeting and falling in love with a singer.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54Bang, boom. Thunder, lightning.
1:00:54 > 1:00:56Fireworks. The whole bit.
1:00:56 > 1:00:58And...
1:00:58 > 1:01:00the arrangement was that they were gonna come back
1:01:00 > 1:01:03and tell their partners that they'd fallen in love
1:01:03 > 1:01:05and they were gonna spend the rest of their lives together.
1:01:05 > 1:01:08And so, I go to the airport to pick her up,
1:01:08 > 1:01:12and she just comes out with it, first off. Whole story.
1:01:12 > 1:01:15And next day, her bags are all packed,
1:01:15 > 1:01:17and we're telling Violet what's gonna happen.

1:01:18 > 1:01:21He choked. He got on the airplane,
1:01:21 > 1:01:23went back to his life, turned his phone off,
1:01:23 > 1:01:26and she never heard from him again. I move into another bedroom.
1:01:26 > 1:01:29She's waiting around for a phone call that never comes,
1:01:29 > 1:01:30and I turn into a...
1:01:34 > 1:01:36I lose my shit a little bit.
1:01:38 > 1:01:41- I'm so sorry. - No.
1:01:41 > 1:01:45Maybe people in the music industry just don't make good life partners.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48- Or fathers. - Yeah, it certainly looks that way.
1:01:50 > 1:01:53I didn't mean about the fathers bit. You make a very good father.
1:01:53 > 1:01:55- Yeah, right. - Maybe just not a good partner.

1:02:19 > 1:02:21Um...
1:02:21 > 1:02:24I don't think we said more than two words to each other the whole night.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27That was New Year's Eve, and we were married two months later.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30- Wow. That's lovely. - CHUCKLES

1:02:42 > 1:02:45I know you can. That's what's worrying me.
1:02:46 > 1:02:49- So are we gonna do this? - OK.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47- What? - Even the most banal scenes
1:05:47 > 1:05:49are suddenly invested with so much meaning, you know?
1:05:49 > 1:05:51All these banalities,
1:05:51 > 1:05:53they're suddenly turned into these...
1:05:53 > 1:05:56these beautiful, effervescent pearls.

1:06:09 > 1:06:14I've got to say, as I've gotten older, these pearls are just...
1:06:14 > 1:06:17becoming increasingly more and more rare to me.
1:06:17 > 1:06:19More string than pearls?
1:06:21 > 1:06:24Yeah. You've got to travel over a lot more string
1:06:24 > 1:06:26to get to the pearls.
1:06:26 > 1:06:28This moment is a pearl, Gretta.
1:06:28 > 1:06:30It sort of is, isn't it?
1:06:30 > 1:06:32All of this has been a pearl.

1:07:14 > 1:07:18I'm a bit taken aback by this. This is incredible.

1:21:53 > 1:21:56- They're really offering you a deal? - No...well, I don't know.
1:21:56 > 1:22:00He has to play it to his partner first. So we'll see.
1:22:01 > 1:22:04I cannot believe what he's done with your songs.
1:22:04 > 1:22:06I know. He's amazing.
1:22:06 > 1:22:09- You should get him to do your record.- No, it's too late.
1:22:09 > 1:22:12We just finished mastering the record in LA.
1:22:12 > 1:22:14I recorded in various studios on the road.
1:22:14 > 1:22:18- Wow. So, what's it called? - On The Road.
1:22:19 > 1:22:21Oh.
1:22:21 > 1:22:22Kind of like Kerouac.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26Yeah. Yeah, it is.
1:22:26 > 1:22:29That's actually a terrible album name.
1:22:29 > 1:22:31No, I...
1:22:31 > 1:22:34- I mean, it worked for him. - No. It's bad.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37- It's... - I know that you know it's bad, too.
1:22:37 > 1:22:39No, I'm...
1:22:39 > 1:22:42- You know...- Anyway, would you like to go hear it?
1:22:42 > 1:22:45- I would love to hear it.- OK.
1:22:45 > 1:22:49# But are we all lost stars

1:23:03 > 1:23:07# I thought I heard you out there crying... #
1:23:11 > 1:23:13All right...what do you think?
1:23:15 > 1:23:18I think I need to listen to it again.
1:23:18 > 1:23:21No. No, I want... I want your immediate reaction.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23- My immediate reaction?- Mm-hm.
1:23:23 > 1:23:25OK, um...
1:23:25 > 1:23:29I... I think that you've lost the songs in the production.
1:23:29 > 1:23:32You know? I mean, OK, take Lost Stars.
1:23:32 > 1:23:35I wrote it as a...as a ballad, and...I don't know,
1:23:35 > 1:23:38- it sounds like a piece of stadium pop.- Ooh.
1:23:38 > 1:23:40Yeah, but I wanted to turn it into a hit.
1:23:40 > 1:23:42- Why?- Why? What kind of question is that?
1:23:42 > 1:23:44You're the writer. You get sole writing credit.
1:23:44 > 1:23:47- This is huge for you. - Yeah, but, I mean,
1:23:47 > 1:23:50you weren't supposed to lose the song in it, you know?
1:23:50 > 1:23:54I mean, it's...it's delicate. I really... I just...
1:23:54 > 1:23:55I think you should get it remixed.
1:23:55 > 1:23:57But everyone loves it when we do it. It's amazing.
1:23:57 > 1:23:59You have to come see it live.
1:23:59 > 1:24:01The reaction to it, the energy in the room just changes.
1:24:01 > 1:24:03Why are you so worried what others think?
1:24:03 > 1:24:05It's...it's our song.
1:24:05 > 1:24:07It is, but, you know, isn't that what music is about?
1:24:07 > 1:24:10- It's about sharing it with people. - No, not that song, Dave.
1:24:10 > 1:24:13OK, well, good, then who do we get to remix this?
1:24:13 > 1:24:15Mim. Maybe you should get Mim to remix it.
1:24:15 > 1:24:18Really? OK, so this is obviously not anything about the album.
1:24:18 > 1:24:19You think?
1:24:21 > 1:24:24- HE SIGHS - Don't. Don't become this, like,
1:24:24 > 1:24:26music biz couple, you know?
1:24:26 > 1:24:29Arguing about our, um...our albums.
1:24:31 > 1:24:35The funny thing about this is that I'd throw that fucking record into the ocean
1:24:35 > 1:24:37if we could just continue this conversation.
1:24:37 > 1:24:40This is what I want to talk about, OK?
1:24:40 > 1:24:43And if I could somehow say something or do anything
1:24:43 > 1:24:45that would undo what I did to us, then...
1:24:45 > 1:24:49HE GROANS ..just tell me what it is. Help me.
1:24:49 > 1:24:51Would you?
1:24:51 > 1:24:53Would you throw it in the ocean?
1:24:55 > 1:24:57Would you...would you want me to?
1:25:02 > 1:25:04No.
1:25:04 > 1:25:07No, I just, you know, I think...
1:25:10 > 1:25:12I think everything's changed.
1:25:12 > 1:25:16And I'm...I'm just finding it a bit hard to adjust.
1:25:16 > 1:25:18I know. It makes sense.
1:25:18 > 1:25:20But we're just gonna have to find a way to...
1:25:20 > 1:25:23get through this, get through this together.
1:25:23 > 1:25:26When did you, like, when did you realise that?
1:25:26 > 1:25:29When you sang to me on my voice-mail.
1:25:29 > 1:25:31I realised that nobody on Earth in their right mind
1:25:31 > 1:25:36would ever do anything remotely like that, and...that killed me.
1:25:36 > 1:25:38That crushed me. You...
1:25:38 > 1:25:40completely won me over.
1:25:40 > 1:25:43I wasn't trying to win you over, I was trying to tell you to fuck off.
1:25:43 > 1:25:46And I had. And...
1:25:47 > 1:25:50..and now, you know, you've... you've come back and...
1:25:50 > 1:25:52and you've opened the whole thing up again,
1:25:52 > 1:25:54and I think, actually, I think...
1:25:54 > 1:25:56I think I'm gonna have to go. Um, take that.
1:25:56 > 1:25:59I'm gonna go, cos it's all a bit much.
1:25:59 > 1:26:01I hear you. Just...
1:26:01 > 1:26:04take your time. I'm not going anywhere.
1:26:04 > 1:26:07- You're gonna stay on the bench? - Yes, I'm gonna live here.

1:27:28 > 1:27:31- You coming in? - No. I'm gonna go...
1:27:31 > 1:27:33I'll play that for Saul, see if we can get a deal.

1:28:07 > 1:28:10This is fantastic. You got a great record.
1:28:10 > 1:28:14I missed it on the first listen, but I don't want to miss it again.
1:28:14 > 1:28:17We're very glad that you like it. So...
1:28:17 > 1:28:20Well, I reached out to some of my studio connects in LA,
1:28:20 > 1:28:22and I was thinking we can get the first track
1:28:22 > 1:28:24placed in a...in a film, the right film.
1:28:24 > 1:28:26There's also pilot season right now.
1:28:26 > 1:28:28We're not interested in any of that stuff.
1:28:28 > 1:28:32OK, so then, what are you interested in? What are we doing here?
1:28:32 > 1:28:36Well, I think Dan needs his job back.
1:28:36 > 1:28:39Yeah, sure. What? Take my office. I don't care.
1:28:39 > 1:28:42OK, all right, so how... I mean...
1:28:42 > 1:28:44I guess I want to know... How does this work?
1:28:44 > 1:28:47We put the album out, we sell it for...?
1:28:47 > 1:28:50Let's say an album costs ten dollars a unit.
1:28:50 > 1:28:52The artist gets a dollar.
1:28:52 > 1:28:55Same in publishing... it's a buck for a book.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57I think I'm just thinking for this specifically...
1:28:57 > 1:28:58to get my head around it...
1:28:58 > 1:29:00Um, I mean, the album, it doesn't have any overhead,
1:29:00 > 1:29:02- because...we did it.- Yeah.
1:29:02 > 1:29:05And then distribution, I mean, it's not gonna go in stores,
1:29:05 > 1:29:09it's gonna go online, and publicity would be, what, word of mouth?
1:29:09 > 1:29:12So I think what I'm wondering is...
1:29:12 > 1:29:14why do you get nine out of ten of my dollars?
1:29:14 > 1:29:15HE SPLUTTERS
1:29:15 > 1:29:17Gretta, you're a very smart young woman,

1:29:19 > 1:29:22and you have a...you have a wonderful project here.
1:29:22 > 1:29:25And with the right team behind you to push you and guide you
1:29:25 > 1:29:27in the right direction and maybe hire a hotshot producer
1:29:27 > 1:29:29to remix a couple tracks,
1:29:29 > 1:29:32you could have a hit record and a very long career,
1:29:32 > 1:29:36but, you know, ultimately, that's...that's up to you.
1:29:36 > 1:29:39Ah, you had them. You wound him up.
1:29:39 > 1:29:41I know. It's amazing that, when you're not actually that interested,
1:29:41 > 1:29:43you always win the hand.
1:29:43 > 1:29:45Yeah, that's never really worked out that well for me.
1:29:45 > 1:29:48- I mean, I found it worked very well.- Yeah.
1:29:48 > 1:29:50You're gonna get a deal.
1:29:50 > 1:29:52That asshole is gonna give you a deal, babe.
1:29:52 > 1:29:54You might have to compromise a little bit, but...
1:29:54 > 1:29:56- Never.- Of course.
1:29:56 > 1:29:58Hey, we should do a bunch of these.
1:29:58 > 1:30:01- What do you mean? - Could do, like, the, uh...
1:30:01 > 1:30:02The European Series.
1:30:02 > 1:30:05- I like that. - Paris Tapes. Prague Sessions.
1:30:05 > 1:30:07The Berlin...Recordings.
1:30:07 > 1:30:09- Yes.- Go all over Europe by rail.
