- It's just life.
- 31
- 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,284
- Listen, when you
- get to be my age,
- you get perspective.
- 32
- 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,086
- I don't want perspective.
- 33
- 00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,566
- Sorry.

- Sorry. Can you...?
- Just one more time?

- That's a great kit.
- 150
- 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,570
- I play the new cymbals now.
- 151
- 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,966
- Milk the cunt!
- 152
- 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,642
- We got a squeaker today, people.
- Neiman.
- 153
- 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,083
- Nineteen years old. Isn't he cute?
- 154

- All right, gang, "Whiplash."

- Stop.
- 160
- 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,369
- Now, this one really upsets me.
- We have an out-of-tune player here.
- 161
- 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,325
- Before I continue,
- would that player
- care to identify himself?
- 162
- 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:50,765
- No?
- 163
- 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,691
- Okay, maybe a bug flew in my ear.
- 164
- 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,528
- One-fifteen.
- 165
- 00:19:58,120 --> 00:19:59,121
- Five, six, and...
- 166
- 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,804
- No. My ears are fine.
- 167
- 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,482
- We definitely have
- an out-of-tune player.
- 168
- 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,849
- Whoever it is,
- this is your last chance.
- 169
- 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,405
- And there it went.
- 170
- 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,729
- Now, either you are deliberately
- playing out of tune,
- 171
- 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,571
- and sabotaging my band,
- 172
- 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,331
- or you don't know
- you're out of tune,
- 173
- 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,803
- which I'm afraid is even worse.
- 174
- 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,081
- Reeds.
- 175
- 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,441
- Five, six, and...
- 176
- 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,170
- Bones.
- 177
- 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,760
- Five, six, and...
- 178
- 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,729
- He's here.
- 179
- 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,208
- Tell me it's not you,
- Elmer Fudd.
- 180
- 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,604
- It's okay. Play.
- 181
- 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,530
- Do you think
- you're out of tune?
- 182
- 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,088
- There's no fucking Mars bar down there.
- What are you looking at?
- 183
- 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,931
- Look up here. Look at me.
- 184
- 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,047
- Do you think you're out of tune?
- 185
- 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,841
- Um...
- 186
- 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,130
- Yes.
- 187
- 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,324
- Then why the fuck
- didn't you say so?
- 188
- 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,489
- I've carried your fat ass
- for too long.
- 189
- 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,444
- I won't have you
- cost us a competition
- 190
- 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,371
- because your mind's on a Happy
- Meal instead of on pitch.
- 191
- 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,648
- Jackson, congratulations,
- you're fourth chair.
- 192
- 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,327
- Metz, why are you still sitting there?
- Get the fuck out!
- 193
- 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,522
- For the record,
- Metz wasn't out of tune.
- You were, Erickson.
- 194
- 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,645
- But he didn't know,
- 195
- 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,042
- and that's bad enough.
- 196
- 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,369
- All right, take 10.
- When we get back,
- the squeaker's on.
- 197
- 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,727
- Two, two, three.
- Two, two, three.
- 198
- 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,730
- If he put half the effort
- into playing the trombone...
- 199
- 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,004
- Andrew.
- 200
- 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,211
- Parents musicians?
- No.
- 201
- 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,007
- What do they do?
- My dad's a writer.
- 202
- 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,321
- Oh, what's he written?
- 203
- 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,204
- I guess he's more of a teacher, really.
- Oh.
- 204
- 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,000
- College?
- Pennington High School.
- 205
- 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,850
- Your mother, what does she do?
- I don't know. She left when I was a baby.
- 206
- 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,845
- No musicians in the family?
- 207
- 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,727
- You just gotta listen
- to the greats, then.
- 208
- 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,805
- Buddy Rich, Jo Jones...
- 209
- 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,125
- You know, Charlie Parker
- became Bird
- 210
- 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,483
- because Jones threw a cymbal
- at his head.
- 211
- 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,884
- See what I'm saying?
- Mm-hm.
- 212
- 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,287
- Listen, the key is to just relax.
- 213
- 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,843
- Don't worry about the numbers.
- 214
- 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,611
- Don't worry about what
- other guys are thinking.
- 215
- 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,202
- You're here for a reason.
- 216
- 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,768
- You believe that, right?
- 217
- 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,765
- Yeah.
- 218
- 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,130
- Say it.
- 219
- 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,202
- I'm here for a reason.
- 220
- 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,091
- Cool.
- 221
- 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,570
- All right, man. Have fun.
- 222
- 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,125
- All right, gang, "Whiplash."
- 223
- 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,407
- A little under tempo, okay?
- Neiman, just do your best.
- 224
- 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,530
- Here we go.
- 225
- 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,081
- Five, six, and...
- 226
- 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,842
- Let's hear some fills.
- 227
- 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,640
- We got Buddy Rich here.
- 228
- 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,520
- A little trouble there.
- Just pick it up at 17.
- 229
- 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,411
- Ready?
- 230
- 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,246
- Five, six, and...
- 231
- 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,330
- Not quite my tempo.
- 232
- 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,091
- Here we go.
- 233
- 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,526
- Five, six, and...
- 234
- 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,165
- Downbeat on 18. Okay?
- Here we go.
- 235
- 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:05,286
- Five, six, and...
- 236
- 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,160
- Bar 17, the and of four.
- 237
- 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:11,850
- Got it?
- 238
- 00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,248
- Five, six, seven...
- 239
- 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,730
- Not quite my tempo.
- It's all good. No worries.
- Here we go.
- 240
- 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,968
- Five, six, seven...
- 241
- 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,965
- You're rushing.
- Here we go.
- 242
- 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,448
- Five... Ready? Okay.
- 243
- 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,008
- Five, six, and...
- 244
- 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,320
- Dragging just a hair.
- 245
- 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:40,890
- Wait for my cue.
- 246
- 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,248
- Five, six, seven...
- 247
- 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,849
- Rushing. Five, six, and...
- 248
- 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,449
- Dragging. Five, six, and...
- 249
- 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,202
- Why do you suppose I just hurled
- a chair at your head, Neiman?
- 250
- 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,962
- I don't know.
- Sure you do.
- 251
- 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,165
- The tempo?
- Were you rushing or dragging?
- 252
- 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:31,561
- I don't know.
- 253
- 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,525
- Start.
- Five, six, seven...
- 254
- 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,245
- In four, damn it. Look at me.
- 255
- 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,286
- One, two, three, four.
- 256
- 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,926
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three...
- 257
- 00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:44,248
- Now, was I rushing
- or was I dragging?
- 258
- 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,802
- I don't know.
- Count again.
- 259
- 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:49,487
- One, two, three, four.
- One, two, three, four.
- 260
- 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,081
- One, two, three, four.
- Rushing or dragging?
- 261
- 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,521
- Rushing.
- So you do know the difference.
- 262
- 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,166
- If you deliberately sabotage my band,
- 263
- 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,209
- I will fuck you like a pig.
- 264
- 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,285
- Now, are you a rusher,
- 265
- 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,005
- or are you a dragger,
- 266
- 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,846
- or are you gonna be
- on my fucking time?
- 267
- 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,128
- I'm gonna be on your time.
- 268
- 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,171
- What does that say?
- "Quarter note equals 215."
- 269
- 00:28:11,360 --> 00:28:13,442
- Count me a 215.
- One, two, three, four.
- 270
- 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,688
- One, two, three, four.
- Jesus Christ.
- 271
- 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,209
- I didn't know they allowed retards.
- Am I to understand
- that you cannot read tempo?
- 272
- 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,210
- Can you even read music? What's that?
- Eighth note.
- 273
- 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,641
- Yes. What is that?
- Dotted 16th note.
- 274
- 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,206
- Sight-read measure 101.
- 275
- 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,045
- What, are you in a fucking a cappella
- group? Play the goddamn kit.
- 276
- 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,447
- Stop. Now answer my question.
- 277
- 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,087
- Were you rushing
- or were you dragging?
- 278
- 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,004
- Answer!
- Rushing.
- 279
- 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,923
- Oh, my dear God.
- 280
- 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,404
- Are you one of those
- single-tear people?
- 281
- 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,491
- Do I look like a double fucking rainbow
- to you? You must be upset.
- 282
- 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,409
- Are you upset?
- No
- 283
- 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,489
- No? So you just don't give a shit?
- 284
- 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,889
- I do give a shit.
- So are you upset? Yes or fucking no?
- 285
- 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,089
- Yes, you are upset.
- 286
- 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,327
- Yeah.
- 287
- 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,727
- Say it.
- I'm upset.
- 288
- 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,730
- Say it so the whole band
- can hear you.
- 289
- 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,409
- <i>I'm upset Louder .</i>
- 290
- 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,768
- I'm upset.
- Louder!
- 291
- 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,325
- I'm upset.
- 292
- 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,888
- You are a worthless, friendless,
- faggot-lipped piece of shit,
- 293
- 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,562
- whose Mommy left Daddy when she
- figured out he wasn't Eugene O'Neill.
- 294
- 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,445
- Who's now weeping and slobbering
- all over my drum set
- 295
- 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,563
- like a fucking 9-year-old girl.
- 296
- 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,684
- So for the final father-fucking time,
- 297
- 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,326
- say it louder!
- I'm upset!
- 298
- 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,370
- Carl.
- 299
- 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,485
- Start practicing harder, Neiman.
- 300
- 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,367
- "Whiplash," bar 125.
- 301
- 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,728
- Big-boy tempo.
- 302
- 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,001
- Five, six, and...
- 303
- 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,281
- This place is nice.
- 304
- 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,804
- Yeah. I really like the music
- that they play.
- 305
- 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,001
- Mm.
- 306
- 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,801
- I mean, the food's good too, but...
- No, the pizza's really good.
- 307
- 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,045
- "When I Wake."
- 308
- 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,648
- What?
- That's the name of the song.
- 309
- 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,127
- Oh. Ha, ha.
- 310
- 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,126
- Jackie Hill, July 17th, 1938.
- 311
- 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,124
- Bob Ellis on the drums.
- 312
- 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,841
- Every time I saw you at the theater,
- your eyes were glued to the floor.
- 313
- 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,811
- Really? Oh...
- Mm-hm.
- 314
- 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,241
- My dad says that I have...
- I have trouble making eye contact.
- 315
- 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,409
- My parents like to criticize me too.
- 316
- 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,444
- Growing up, my mom said
- I had a really big chin,
- 317
- 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,324
- that's why guys wouldn't like me.
- 318
- 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,090
- Really? You don't.
- Yeah.
- 319
- 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,408
- Well, she said my dad
- cursed me with one.
- 320
- 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,961
- It's like Jay Leno. Look.
- 321
- 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,322
- No, it's not.
- Yeah, it is.
- 322
- 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,848
- I don't... I don't think so at all.
- Well, that's nice.
- 323
- 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:31,602
- Your chin's very nice. Very nice.
- Ha-ha-ha.
- 324
- 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,809
- Your mom sounds insane.
- 325
- 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,606
- She did wanna be an actress
- when she was my age.
- 326
- 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,484
- What about you?
- What about me?
- 327
- 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,126
- What do you do?
- 328
- 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,369
- I go to Fordham.
- 329
- 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,407
- What do you study?
- 330
- 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,888
- I don't have a major yet.
- 331
- 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,003
- But, like, what do you want to study?
- I don't really know.
- 332
- 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,044
- I don't know yet.
- 333
- 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,248
- So Fordham
- was just like a random school?
- 334
- 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,330
- No, I applied to a bunch of schools,
- Fordham let me in.
- 335
- 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,246
- Why'd you pick Shaffer?
- It's the best music school in the country.
- 336
- 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:08,764
- Well, Fordham was Fordham.
- 337
- 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,286
- I don't love it there, to be honest.
- 338
- 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,762
- No?
- No.
- 339
- 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,604
- I...
- 340
- 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,209
- I don't know. I guess it's just the people.
- I don't know if they like me very much.
- 341
- 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,521
- I'm from Arizona,
- and I think they can see it.
- 342
- 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,771
- I feel the same about people at Shaffer.
- Yeah?
- 343
- 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,281
- Yeah. I don't think they like me
- too much.
- 344
- 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,006
- But I don't... I don't...
- 345
- 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,329
- I don't care too much.
- I think it just... It changes.
- 346
- 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,530
- You know, people change
- and things work out.
- 347
- 00:34:52,720 --> 00:34:54,210
- No, no, I know, I know.
- 348
- 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,564
- I just...
- 349
- 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,409
- I feel really homesick sometimes.
- 350
- 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,805
- I don't know.
- 351
- 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,128
- It kind of pisses me off
- when people pretend like they're not.
- 352
- 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,448
- In college, you know?
- 353
- 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,488
- Maybe I'm literally the only one,
- I don't know.
- 354
- 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,487
- I still go to the movies with my dad.
- 355
- 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,844
- - Hey. How are you, man?
- - Good to see you.
- 356
- 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,728
- And please, is this really Eva? Wow.
- 357
- 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,924
- Last time I saw you,
- you were very tiny.
- 358
- 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,208
- Are you playing an instrument yet?
- 359
- 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:09,765
- She started piano last week.
- 360
- 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,089
- When you're a big college kid,
- will you come play in my band?
- 361
- 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,248
- Would you like that?
- Be my piano player?
- 362
- 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:16,970
- Excellent.
- Give me five, baby.
- 363
- 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,083
- All right. Great to see you.
- Great seeing you.
- 364
- 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,243
- See you after the show.
- Absolutely.
- 365
- 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:22,885
- Cheers.
- 366
- 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,090
- Listen up, Cocksuckers.
- 367
- 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,602
- Hurry the fuck up.
- Get your music.
- 368
- 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,931
- "lrene" only. Set one.
- Rhythm section out first.
- 369
- 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,727
- The kit is a fucking tonal catastrophe.
- Get it in tune, all right?
- 370
- 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,042
- Rhythm and soloists, bar 45.
- 371
- 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,810
- We're gonna pick up the tempo.
- 372
- 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,085
- Bar 106, brass, do not forget
- we sharp that ninth.
- 373
- 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,689
- Everybody remember,
- Lincoln Center use these competitions
- 374
- 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,326
- to decide who they're interested in
- and who they're not.
- 375
- 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,882
- I'm not gonna have my reputation
- in that department tarnished
- 376
- 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,208
- by a bunch of limp-dick,
- sour-note,
- 377
- 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,603
- flatter-than-their-girlfriends,
- flexible-tempo dipshits.
- 378
- 00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,609
- One more thing. Give me that.
- 379
- 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,406
- If I ever find one of these
- lying around again,
- 380
- 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,286
- I swear to fucking God,
- I will stop being so polite.
- 381
- 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,848
- Get the fuck out of my sight
- before I demolish you.
- 382
- 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:17,924
- Stage right, in order, now.
- 383
- 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,002
- I can still fucking see you,
- Mini-Me!
- 384
- 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,127
- Let's go. Hurry the fuck up.
- Let's go.
- 385
- 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,680
- The Shaffer
- Conservatory Studio Band.
- 386
- 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,926
- Hold on to this
- for the second set.
- 387
- 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,051
- He's dumb but he's not stupid.
- 388
- 00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,971
- At the end of the day, he wants a career,
- as dumb as he is.
- 389
- 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,051
- Fudd has a chance
- of getting put back in,
- so why would he jeopardize that?
- 390
- 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,760
- I need to look at the music.
- It's right here.
- 391
- 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,361
- Why isn't it on you?
- Where's the folder?
- 392
- 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:17,121
- You're joking. You're fucking around?
- No...
- 393
- 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,722
- I swear I had it here two seconds ago.
- It's gotta be around here.
- 394
- 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,088
- Did you see...?
- How could you be so stupid?
- 395
- 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,647
- I know. Maybe a janitor came by.
- A janitor?
- 396
- 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,406
- Find the fucking folder!
- A fucking janitor?
- 397
- 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,129
- You're a dumb fuck!
- A dumb fuck!
- 398
- 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,243
- Find the folder!
- Okay, I'm sorry.
- 399
- 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,249
- Tanner!
- 400
- 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,086
- Jesus fucking Christ,
- where have you been?
- 401
- 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,011
- Uh, we have an issue.
- Okay, now is not the time.
- 402
- 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,643
- I gave Neiman the folder
- and Neiman lost it.
- 403
- 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,081
- Neiman lost it.
- Yes, sir.
- 404
- 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,243
- The folder was your responsibility.
- 405
- 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,647
- Why would you give it to Neiman?
- Right?
- 406
- 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:01,162
- Give a calculator to a retard,
- he's gonna turn on a TV with it.
- 407
- 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:04,728
- Get your sticks, get your ass on-stage.
- I... I can't.
- 408
- 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:06,885
- You can't?
- 409
- 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,404
- I... I can't go on-stage.
- I don't know
- the charts by heart.
- 410
- 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,369
- Are you fucking kidding me?
- I... You know this.
- 411
- 00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:19,200
- I need the music.
- It's my memory, I need visual cues.
- 412
- 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,289
- Visual cues.
- Yes. It's a medical...
- 413
- 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,648
- A medical condition?
- What, are you Sanjay Gupta?
- 414
- 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,126
- Play the goddamn music.
- 415
- 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:27,645
- I can't.
- I can.
- 416
- 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,445
- You know "Whiplash" by heart?
- Yes. Every measure.
- 417
- 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:42,125
- All right. Well, you better fucking hope
- your memory doesn't fail you.
- 418
- 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,449
- I hope you play it a lot better
- than you did last month.
- 419
- 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,483
- I do not intend to start losing.
- 420
- 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,524
- Get your sticks and get your ass
- on-stage. On-stage!
- 421
- 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,923
- And in <i>first place,</i>
- 422
- 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,009
- <i>Shaffer Conservatory.</i>
- 423
- 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,365
- Hey.
- Don't fucking touch my folder, man.
- 424
- 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,407
- Do not touch this kit.
- 425
- 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,760
- All right, let's get to work, ladies.
- 426
- 00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,091
- Tanner, what you doing? It's core only.
- I don't have time for alternates.
- 427
- 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,043
- "Cherokee." From the top.
- 428
- 00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:17,805
- Tanner, are you a fucking statue?
- Let's go. Get off the stool.
- 429
- 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,287
- Don't forget to turn Neiman's pages.
- Here we go.
- 430
- 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,127
- One, two, three, four.
- Two, two, three, four.
- 431
- 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:54,050
- <i>What did you do to your hand?</i>
- 432
- 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,801
- - Is that from drumming?
- - Yeah. It's nothing.
- 433
- 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,082
- So how's it going
- with the Studio Band?
- 434
- 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,367
- Good.
- 435
- 00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,528
- Yeah, I think he
- likes me more now.
- 436
- 00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,090
- And his opinion means a
- lot to you, doesn't it?
- 437
- 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,481
- Yeah.
- 438
- 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,531
- Wanna grab the shakers?
- 439
- 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,521
- Jimbo? Overcooked.
- 440
- 00:44:17,720 --> 00:44:18,881
- You can barely chew this.
- 441
- 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,765
- He just laughs.
- So how's the drumming going, Andy?
- 442
- 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,921
- Yeah, it's going really well.
- I'm the new core drummer, so...
- 443
- 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,602
- - Hey.
- - Congratulations.
- 444
- 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,290
- Tom Brady.
- 445
- 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,209
- Did you hear, Jim?
- No, what?
- 446
- 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,728
- Trav got named this year's MVP.
- That's fantastic, Travis.
- 447
- 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,400
- Yeah, and Dustin
- is heading up Model UN,
- 448
- 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,410
- soon to be Rhodes Scholar
- and who knows what else.
- 449
- 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,683
- And Jim, teacher of the year.
- 450
- 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:49,689
- - Well, hey, listen...
- - I mean, come on.
- 451
- 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,247
- The talent at this table,
- that is stunning.
- 452
- 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,683
- And Andy, with your drumming.
- It's going okay, Andy?
- 453
- 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,321
- Yeah, it's going really,
- really well, actually.
- 454
- 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,887
- I'm part of Shaffer's
- top jazz orchestra,
- 455
- 00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,607
- which means
- it's the best in the country.
- 456
- 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,002
- And I'm a core member
- 457
- 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,806
- so I'll start playing
- in competitions. I just...
- 458
- 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,526
- I found out I'm
- the youngest person in the band.
- 459
- 00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,566
- How do you know who wins in
- a music competition? Isn't it subjective?
- 460
- 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,648
- No.
- Does the studio get you a job?
- 461
- 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,485
- It's not an actual studio.
- 462
- 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,570
- It's the name of the ensemble,
- but it's a big step forward in my career.
- 463
- 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,969
- I'm so glad you figured it out.
- It's a nasty business, I am sure.
- 464
- 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,290
- Hey, are you gonna tell them
- about your game this week?
- 465
- 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,802
- - Living up to your title.
- - I scored a 93-yard touchdown.
- 466
- 00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:36,724
- School record, school record.
- 467
- 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,930
- Is that true? That's fantastic.
- It's Division Three.
- 468
- 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,326
- It's Carlton football. It's not even
- Division Two, it's Division Three.
- 469
- 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,323
- You got any friends, Andy?
- No.
- 470
- 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,450
- Oh, why is that?
- I don't know. I never saw the use.
- 471
- 00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,205
- Who are you
- gonna play with otherwise?
- 472
- 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,647
- Lennon and McCartney
- were buddies.
- 473
- 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,242
- Charlie Parker didn't know anybody
- till Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head.
- 474
- 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:02,811
- That's your idea of success?
- 475
- 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,607
- Being the greatest musician of the 20th
- century is anybody's idea of success.
- 476
- 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,246
- Dying broke and drunk
- and full of heroin
- 477
- 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,841
- at the age of 34
- is not my idea of success.
- 478
- 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,209
- I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34
- and have people talk about me,
- 479
- 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,485
- than live to be rich and sober at 90
- and nobody remember who I was.
- 480
- 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,967
- But your friends will remember you,
- that's the point.
- 481
- 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,600
- None of us were friends
- with Charlie Parker. That's the point.
- 482
- 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,521
- Travis and Dustin, they have plenty
- of friends and plenty of purpose.
- 483
- 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,808
- They'll make great
- school board presidents.
- 484
- 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,764
- You think you're better
- than us?
- 485
- 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,804
- Catch on quick. Are you in Model UN?
- I got a reply for you.
- 486
- 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,924
- You think Carlton football is a joke?
- Come play with us.
- 487
- 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,521
- Four words you will never hear
- from the NFL.
- 488
- 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,564
- Who wants dessert?
- Heard from Lincoln Center?
- 489
- 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,051
- Okay, get out of here.
- Pick up the new chart
- by the door on your way out.
- 490
- 00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:26,406
- Rehearsal 9 p.m. sharp tonight.
- That's how long you have to learn it.
- 491
- 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,010
- Neiman. Stick around a minute.
- Mm.
- 492
- 00:47:38,720 --> 00:47:41,246
- See the tempo marking on there?
- Uh...
- 493
- 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,246
- "Quarter note equals 330." Oh.
- 494
- 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,086
- That is a double-time swing.
- 495
- 00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,763
- That's what got you in here, right?
- Oh, yeah.
- 496
- 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,407
- As fate would have it,
- I recently stumbled across another kid
- 497
- 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,082
- in the practice room
- working on his double-time swing.
- 498
- 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,680
- So I'm gonna give him a shot.
- 499
- 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,761
- Am I late?
- Perfect timing.
- 500
- 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,803
- Come on in, Connolly.
- 501
- 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,288
- Uh, you two know each other, right?
- Yeah, Nassau band.
- 502
- 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:11,527
- What's up, Andrew?
- 503
- 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:16,724
- I've made Neiman a temporary core,
- but with this competition coming up
- 504
- 00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:20,367
- I just wanna make very sure
- this chart is in the best shape it can be.
- 505
- 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,483
- Yeah, this one right here,
- right?
- 506
- 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,246
- I gave Connolly the chart
- this morning.
- 507
- 00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,444
- All I wanna do is give you
- both a crack at it, all right?
- 508
- 00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,803
- So, Neiman, go ahead,
- jump on the kit,
- take it from the top.
- 509
- 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,445
- Okay.
- 510
- 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,288
- I don't want you
- to worry about hits now.
- Just tempo, okay?
- 511
- 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,010
- All set?
- 512
- 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,162
- One, two...
- 513
- 00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,283
- Not quite my tempo.
- Connolly.
- 514
- 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,211
- I can take it from the top.
- Connolly, go ahead.
- 515
- 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,483
- I can do...
- No. We'll go with Connolly now.
- 516
- 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,091
- Hey, do you mind?
- 517
- 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,649
- Okay, man, ready?
- Mm-hm.
- 518
- 00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,691
- One and two and...
- 519
- 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,009
- Perfect, Connolly.
- Oh, my God.
- 520
- 00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:36,289
- See, this to me
- is the beauty of Studio Band.
- 521
- 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,165
- You walk in here an alternate,
- you could be the new core.
- 522
- 00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,408
- Oh, my God, are you serious?
- Thanks.
- 523
- 00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,648
- That shit?
- 524
- 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,164
- Fletcher.
- 525
- 00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,766
- Thanks, man. Here you go.
- 526
- 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,405
- Don't worry about Fletcher.
- He's more bark than bite.
- 527
- 00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,282
- Hey, look, you...
- I can play these charts.
- 528
- 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,683
- Now is not the time, I swear to God.
- I can play it, okay?
- 529
- 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:12,327
- I said not now!
- If you want the fucking part, earn it.
- 530
- 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,809
- <i>I'm just gonna lay it out there.</i>
- 531
- 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,651
- This is why I don't think
- we should be together.
- 532
- 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:41,007
- And I've thought about it a lot,
- and this is what's gonna happen.
- 533
- 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,487
- I'm gonna keep pursuing
- what I'm pursuing.
- 534
- 00:50:43,720 --> 00:50:46,530
- Because I'm doing that,
- it's gonna take up my time.
- 535
- 00:50:46,720 --> 00:50:49,041
- I'm not gonna be able
- to spend time with you.
- 536
- 00:50:49,240 --> 00:50:51,720
- Even when I do, I'm gonna
- be thinking about drumming.
- 537
- 00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,845
- About jazz, my charts.
- Because of that,
- you're gonna start to resent me.
- 538
- 00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,365
- You're gonna tell me
- to ease up on the drumming,
- spend more time with you.
- 539
- 00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:05,122
- I'm not gonna be able to do that.
- I'll start to resent you
- for even asking me to stop.
- 540
- 00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,642
- We're just gonna start
- to hate each other.
- It's gonna be ugly.
- 541
- 00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,683
- And so for those reasons,
- 542
- 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,969
- I'd rather just, you know,
- break it off clean.
- 543
- 00:51:21,720 --> 00:51:23,802
- Because I wanna be great.
- 544
- 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,122
- And you're not?
- 545
- 00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,483
- I wanna be one of the greats.
- 546
- 00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:35,850
- And I would stop you
- from doing that?
- 547
- 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,804
- Yeah.
- 548
- 00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,207
- You know I would stop you
- from doing that?
- 549
- 00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,687
- You know that for a fact?
- 550
- 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,405
- Yes.
- 551
- 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,565
- And I'd barely see you anyway?
- 552
- 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,001
- Yeah.
- When I see you, you'd treat me like shit
- 553
- 00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,771
- because I'm some girl
- who doesn't know what she wants.
- 554
- 00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:03,567
- You have a path, you're going
- to be great, I'm gonna be forgotten,
- 555
- 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,280
- and you won't be able
- to give me the time of day
- 556
- 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,404
- because you have
- bigger things to pursue.
- 557
- 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,200
- That's exactly my point.
- 558
- 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,681
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- 559
- 00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,168
- You're right.
- We should not be dating.
- 560
- 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,082
- I'm okay. Thanks.
- 561
- 00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,408
- Fuck! Fuck!
- 562
- 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:05,890
- Fucking piece of shit!
- 563
- 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:07,690
- Fuck you!
- 564
- 00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:09,370
- Fuck!
- 565
- 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,241
- Fucking piece of shit! Come on!
- 566
- 00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,803
- Um...
- 567
- 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,928
- Sorry, we have a new player.
- Ryan Connolly.
- 568
- 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,689
- Um... Ahem.
- 569
- 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,289
- I'm sorry.
- 570
- 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,251
- Guys, just put your instruments
- down for a minute.
- 571
- 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,442
- Just listen for a minute.
- 572
- 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,402
- Six years ago...
- 573
- 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:09,005
- I came across a kid in a practice
- room working on his scales.
- 574
- 00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:14,368
- He was early second year and he'd
- started at Shaffer with a lot of hope.
- 575
- 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,083
- Like all you guys.
- 576
- 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:26,327
- But the truth was that he barely
- squeaked in to begin with...
- 577
- 00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,128
- And he was really struggling.
- 578
- 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,923
- The faculty were all telling him,
- "Maybe this isn't for you."
- 579
- 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,048
- But they didn't see what I saw.
- 580
- 00:54:43,240 --> 00:54:46,164
- This scared, skinny kid
- 581
- 00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,967
- cursing himself because
- he couldn't get his scales right.
- 582
- 00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,481
- I saw a drive in him.
- 583
- 00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:55,371
- And I put him in Studio Band.
- 584
- 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,329
- And when he graduated,
- 585
- 00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,803
- Marsalis made him third trumpet
- at Lincoln Center.
- 586
- 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,571
- A year later, he was first.
- 587
- 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:05,842
- That's who you're listening to now.
- 588
- 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,086
- His name was Sean Casey.
- 589
- 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,521
- I found out this morning...
- 590
- 00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:23,449
- that Sean...
- 591
- 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,607
- died yesterday...
- 592
- 00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,562
- in a car accident.
- 593
- 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,690
- And I just...
- 594
- 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,402
- I wanted you guys to know
- he was a beautiful player.
- 595
- 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,322
- I just thought you should know.
- 596
- 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:00,684
- I'm sorry.
- 597
- 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:06,410
- Okay.
- 598
- 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:15,210
- Let's get to work, huh?
- How about "Caravan," bar 105?
- 599
- 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,842
- Two bars for free.
- 600
- 00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:25,049
- One and two and...
- 601
- 00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:32,124
- It's not quite right, Connolly.
- Um...
- 602
- 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,444
- I'd like to try Neiman on this.
- 603
- 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,211
- Maybe now's the time
- for Neiman to earn the part.
- 604
- 00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:48,490
- One and two and...
- 605
- 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,765
- Nope, I guess not. Tanner?
- 606
- 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,249
- One and two and...
- 607
- 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,849
- Motherfucker!
- 608
- 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,811
- Connolly,
- get your ass back on the kit.
- 609
- 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,651
- We will stay here for as long as it takes
- until one of you faggots can play in time.
- 610
- 00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,323
- One and two and...
- 611
- 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,364
- Looks like that might be all night.
- Neiman.
- 612
- 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,130
- One and two and...
- 613
- 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,890
- Not my fucking tempo!
- 614
- 00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:44,771
- Sorry, guys.
- Hate to put you through this.
- 615
- 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,370
- If you need to fucking take a dump
- or get a coffee,
- 616
- 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:51,210
- whatever,
- now might be a good time.
- 617
- 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,240
- We're gonna stay until I find a drummer
- who can fucking play in time.
- 618
- 00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,011
- I apologize to the musicians.
- 619
- 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,323
- Seriously, take 10, 20,
- a fucking hour.
- 620
- 00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,808
- You hear me, cocksuckers?
- Better start shitting me perfect 400s.
- 621
- 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,202
- Connolly, get your fucking ass
- back on the kit.
- 622
- 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,805
- Is that really the fastest you can play,
- you worthless Hymie fuck?
- 623
- 00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,127
- No wonder Mommy ran out on you.
- Get off the fucking kit.
- 624
- 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:39,083
- And here comes Mr. Gay Pride
- of the Upper West Side himself.
- 625
- 00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:43,530
- This is not a Bette Midler concert.
- We will not be serving baked Alaska,
- 626
- 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,724
- so just play faster
- than you give hand jobs, will you?
- 627
- 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:48,928
- One, two, one, two.
- 628
- 00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:53,046
- Not even fucking close.
- 629
- 00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:55,686
- Let's go with the Irish Mick
- Paddy cracker now.
- 630
- 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,969
- You know, you actually do look
- quite a bit like a leprechaun.
- 631
- 00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:00,924
- I'm gonna start
- calling you Flannery.
- 632
- 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,924
- Get off!
- 633
- 00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,000
- What are you looking for?
- There's no gold down there.
- 634
- 00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:31,645
- Adjusting the seat? Really?
- 635
- 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,360
- That's been your problem
- the whole time? The seat height?
- 636
- 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:36,130
- So now you have it, right?
- 637
- 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,044
- Go.
- 638
- 00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,850
- Bullshit! Fuck you!
- 639
- 00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:47,050
- Neiman.
- 640
- 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,126
- Maybe it's time
- 641
- 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,648
- to finally bring this home.
- What do you say?
- 642
- 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,525
- Show me.
- 643
- 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,367
- Don't slow down.
- 644
- 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:08,604
- Pick it up.
- 645
- 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,923
- Faster!
- 646
- 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,724
- Faster!
- 647
- 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:38,810
- Faster!
- 648
- 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,646
- Faster!
- 649
- 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,844
- Faster!
- 650
- 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,689
- Keep playing!
- 651
- 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:00,530
- Keep playing! Keep playing!
- Keep playing!
- 652
- 01:01:02,360 --> 01:01:04,203
- Don't stop.
- 653
- 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,483
- Neiman,
- 654
- 01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:25,280
- you earned the part.
- 655
- 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,882
- Alternates, you wanna clean
- the blood off my drum set?
- 656
- 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,247
- Okay, we can start now.
- 657
- 01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,848
- 5 p.m. call tomorrow in Dunellen.
- 658
- 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:07,161
- Give yourselves at least two hours
- to get there this time, all right?
- 659
- 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,044
- Save your travel receipts.
- 660
- 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,171
- Or don't. I don't give a shit.
- 661
- 01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,569
- Do you know where the cabs are?
- You gotta call the cabs.
- 662
- 01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:23,650
- The cab was supposed to be here.
- You gotta call. They take forever.
- 663
- 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,171
- How do I get to Hargrove?
- 664
- 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,405
- Hey. Come on. Please, come on.
- You're still open.
- 665
- 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,331
- You're still open. Come on.
- Come on. Come on.
- 666
- 01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:54,247
- Yeah, hello?
- 667
- 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,807
- <i>Neiman, where are you, man?
- Call time was 5.</i>
- 668
- 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,844
- I know, I know.
- I'm almost there.
- I'm right there.
- 669
- 01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:01,883
- <i>We're on-stage in 20.</i>
- I <i>know.</i>
- 670
- 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,731
- <i>Fletcher's got Connolly warming up.
- God fucking</i> da... <i>Okay.</i>
- 671
- 01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,843
- You just tell
- that little fucking redhead I'll...
- 672
- 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:08,690
- I'm gonna be there, okay? Fuck.
- 673
- 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,683
- Hey. Hey. Sorry I'm late.
- 674
- 01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:16,169
- Well, glad you could fit us
- into your busy schedule, darling.
- 675
- 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:18,328
- I'm sorry I'm late. I'm ready to go.
- 676
- 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,091
- Connolly's playing the part.
- Like fucking hell.
- 677
- 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,725
- What the fuck
- did you say to me?
- 678
- 01:04:25,960 --> 01:04:27,007
- It's my part.
- 679
- 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:29,885
- It's my part
- and I decide who to lend it to.
- 680
- 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,963
- Usually it's somebody
- that has fucking sticks.
- 681
- 01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,006
- I left them in the car.
- I'll be right back. Five minutes.
- 682
- 01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,565
- I'm warming up the band now.
- 683
- 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,163
- I can use Ryan's sticks.
- Neiman, you lost the fucking part.
- 684
- 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:45,243
- No, I didn't. You can't do this.
- 685
- 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:46,527
- Can't?
- Yeah.
- 686
- 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,121
- When did you become a fucking
- expert on what I can do,
- 687
- 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,204
- you fucking weepy-willow shit sack?
- I earned that part.
- 688
- 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,131
- You never earned anything.
- You are a self-righteous prick.
- 689
- 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,927
- The only reason you're a fucking core
- is because you misplaced a folder.
- 690
- 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,482
- Only reason you're in Studio Band
- to begin with is because I told you
- 691
- 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,728
- what I'd be asking for in Nassau.
- 692
- 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:06,166
- Am I wrong?
- Yeah.
- 693
- 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:07,646
- I'm in Studio Band
- because I'm the best...
- 694
- 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:08,927
- Back off.
- 695
- 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,646
- Hey, fuck off, Johnny Utah.
- Turn my pages, bitch.
- 696
- 01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,691
- Hey. I can cut you
- any fucking time I want.
- 697
- 01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,850
- You would've cut me by now.
- Try me, you fucking weasel.
- 698
- 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:23,526
- At 5:30, that's in exactly 11 minutes,
- my band is on-stage.
- 699
- 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:26,963
- If your ass is not on that stool
- with your own sticks in hand,
- 700
- 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,208
- or if you make
- one fucking mistake,
- 701
- 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,364
- one, I will drum your ass
- back to Nassau
- 702
- 01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,882
- where you can turn pages
- until you graduate or fucking drop out.
- 703
- 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,971
- By the time you're done at Shaffer, you'll
- make Daddy look like a success story.
- 704
- 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,409
- Got it? Or we can let Johnny Utah
- play the part.
- 705
- 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,445
- You choose.
- That's my part. I'll be on your stage.
- 706
- 01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:48,160
- - Fuck you.
- - You got 10 minutes,
- 707
- 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:51,164
- you fucking pathetic,
- pansy-ass fruit fuck.
- 708
- 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,726
- - Tell Fletcher I'm coming.
- - What's taking you so long?
- 709
- 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:07,049
- We're <i>moving</i> on-stage.
- I got locked in my car. I'm coming.
- 710
- 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,004
- <i>Left turn, 200 feet.</i>
- 711
- 01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,089
- <i>Are you driving?
- No.</i>
- 712
- 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:12,845
- <i>What the hell was that noise?</i>
- 713
- 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:17,602
- Okay, why don't you just tell Fletcher
- that I'm coming, you motherfucker?
- 714
- 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,006
- Hey. Hey, hey.
- 715
- 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:06,164
- Are you okay?
- Are you okay?
- 716
- 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,250
- I gotta get my sticks.
- No, stay away from the car.
- 717
- 01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,408
- I've called 911.
- Look, I gotta go.
- 718
- 01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:13,602
- No, no, sir.
- A couple more blocks.
- 719
- 01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,081
- Sir, no, you don't have to...
- Please get off me.
- 720
- 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,565
- Hey, guy.
- What the fuck happened to you?
- 721
- 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:59,081
- The Shaffer
- Conservatory Studio Band.
- 722
- 01:08:56,440 --> 01:08:57,601
- Neiman, what the fuck?
- 723
- 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,164
- <i>Fuck.</i>
- 724
- 01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:40,809
- Neiman...
- 725
- 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:45,411
- You're done.
- 726
- 01:09:55,800 --> 01:09:58,644
- Gentlemen, ladies, I apologize
- 727
- 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,724
- on behalf of Shaffer Conservatory.
- 728
- 01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:08,284
- Piece of shit. I'll fucking kill you.
- 729
- 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,490
- - Fuck you.
- - Get the...
- 730
- 01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,041
- Get the fuck off me.
- Get off me. Fuck off.
- 731
- 01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,051
- Fuck you.
- 732
- 01:10:18,640 --> 01:10:19,926
- Fuck you!
- 733
- 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,122
- Fuck you, Fletcher! Fuck you!
- 734
- 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,125
- Get off. Fuck. Piece of shit!
- 735
- 01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,044
- Fuck you!
- 736
- 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:44,004
- When did you start
- talking to her?
- 737
- 01:10:44,200 --> 01:10:46,567
- Your father got in contact
- this week.
- 738
- 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,520
- Does the name Sean Casey
- mean anything to you?
- 739
- 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:52,322
- You know of his death?
- 740
- 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,050
- Last month, he hanged himself
- in his apartment.
- 741
- 01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:02,205
- What does that have to do
- with me?
- 742
- 01:11:02,440 --> 01:11:04,681
- He suffered
- from anxiety and depression.
- 743
- 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:08,282
- His mother claims this started
- during his time as Fletcher's student.
- 744
- 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:13,251
- Now, the Caseys aren't wealthy,
- they don't wanna file suit.
- 745
- 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,249
- So, what do they want?
- 746
- 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,327
- To make sure Terence Fletcher is never
- allowed to do this to another student.
- 747
- 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,920
- <i>Hey, Dad, look at my paradiddle.</i>
- 748
- 01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:54,486
- <i>Yeah, that's my boy.</i>
- 749
- 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,571
- He didn't do anything.
- What is wrong with you? It's over, okay?
- 750
- 01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,366
- He's out of your life.
- Why would you let him get away?
- 751
- 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:04,928
- Would you characterize
- his conduct as extreme, Andrew?
- 752
- 01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,602
- Did he ever intentionally inflict
- emotional distress?
- 753
- 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,291
- This would not be a public hearing,
- you know.
- 754
- 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:23,842
- Fletcher would never know
- it was you who spoke up.
- 755
- 01:12:29,880 --> 01:12:31,484
- Why would you do this to me?
- 756
- 01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:35,843
- Do you think that I would let him
- put my son through hell
- 757
- 01:12:36,080 --> 01:12:38,481
- and then just walk away
- scot-free?
- 758
- 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,451
- Don't you know
- I would never let that happen?
- 759
- 01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:46,441
- That there is nothing in the world
- more important to me than you?
- 760
- 01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,563
- Don't you know that?
- 761
- 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,964
- Andrew?
- 762
- 01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:49,689
- Andrew?
- 763
- 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,442
- Just tell me what to say.
- 764
- 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:10,611
- Hey-
- 765
- 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,451
- <i>I'd give anything
- to be there again this fall.</i>
- 766
- 01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,881
- <i>I like weddings,
- provided they're not mine.</i>
- 767
- 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,525
- <i>Marriages are very healthy.</i>
- 768
- 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,007
- <i>Married men live much longer
- than bachelors.</i>
- 769
- 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:41,562
- <i>They're trying to outlive their
- wives so they can be bachelors again.</i>
- 770
- 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,560
- <i>Haven't you thought of getting married?</i>
- 771
- 01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:44,767
- <i>I did.</i>
- 772
- 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,082
- <i>The young lady changed her mind
- at the last moment.</i>
- 773
- 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:50,011
- <i>I've been deeply indebted to her
- ever since.</i>
- 774
- 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,521
- And I loaded the pantry up
- with Gushers.
- 775
- 01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,087
- Saw that.
- Okay.
- 776
- 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:56,885
- All right.
- 777
- 01:14:58,080 --> 01:14:59,570
- Thanks.
- 778
- 01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:21,125
- Right on, man.
- 779
- 01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:42,044
- Andrew.
- 780
- 01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:48,525
- Hey.
- 781
- 01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,123
- I don't know if you heard. Uh...
- 782
- 01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:00,402
- I'm not at Shaffer anymore.
- 783
- 01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,811
- Yeah, I did hear that.
- 784
- 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:05,800
- Did you quit?
- 785
- 01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,889
- Not exactly.
- 786
- 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,285
- Some parents got a kid
- from Sean Casey's year, I think,
- 787
- 01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:18,370
- to say some things
- about me.
- 788
- 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,881
- Although why anybody
- would have anything
- 789
- 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,050
- other than peaches and cream
- to say about me is a mystery.
- 790
- 01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:27,650
- Yeah.
- 791
- 01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,123
- That's a good laugh, right?
- I'm sorry.
- 792
- 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,084
- No, listen... I get it.
- I'm sorry.
- 793
- 01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:34,248
- I know I made enemies.
- 794
- 01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:38,041
- I'm conducting a little, though.
- 795
- 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,404
- They brought back the JVC Fest
- this year.
- 796
- 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,649
- They got me opening
- in a couple of weeks with a pro band.
- 797
- 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:48,409
- That's great.
- 798
- 01:18:50,160 --> 01:18:51,400
- Yeah. It's all right.
- 799
- 01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:58,841
- Truth is,
- I don't think people understood
- 800
- 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,731
- what it was I was doing
- at Shaffer.
- 801
- 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:03,564
- I wasn't there to conduct.
- 802
- 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,327
- Any fucking moron can wave his arms
- and keep people in tempo.
- 803
- 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:12,082
- I was there to push people
- beyond what's expected of them.
- 804
- 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:15,929
- I believe that is...
- 805
- 01:19:17,320 --> 01:19:19,846
- an absolute necessity.
- 806
- 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,769
- Otherwise, we're depriving the world
- of the next Louis Armstrong.
- 807
- 01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:26,525
- The next Charlie Parker.
- 808
- 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,361
- I told you about how Charlie Parker
- became Charlie Parker, right?
- 809
- 01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,370
- Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head.
- Exactly.
- 810
- 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:37,688
- Parker's a young kid,
- pretty good on the sax.
- 811
- 01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:42,522
- Gets up to play at a cutting session,
- and he fucks it up.
- 812
- 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,530
- And Jones nearly decapitates him
- for it.
- 813
- 01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,366
- And he's laughed off-stage.
- 814
- 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,321
- Cries himself to sleep that night,
- but the next morning,
- what does he do?
- 815
- 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,488
- He practices.
- 816
- 01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,640
- And he practices and he practices
- with one goal in mind,
- 817
- 01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,446
- never to be laughed at again.
- 818
- 01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,607
- And a year later, he goes back to the
- Reno and he steps up on that stage,
- 819
- 01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,327
- and plays the best motherfucking solo
- the world has ever heard.
- 820
- 01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,491
- So imagine if Jones had just said:
- 821
- 01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:22,766
- "Well, that's okay, Charlie.
- That was all right. Good job."
- 822
- 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:28,009
- And then Charlie thinks to himself,
- "Well, shit, I did do a pretty good job."
- 823
- 01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,041
- End of story.
- 824
- 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:31,924
- No Bird.
- 825
- 01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:37,407
- That, to me,
- is an absolute tragedy.
- 826
- 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,765
- But that's just
- what the world wants now.
- 827
- 01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:44,129
- People wonder why jazz
- is dying.
- 828
- 01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:52,524
- I tell you, man,
- and every Starbucks "jazz" album
- 829
- 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,166
- just proves my point, really.
- 830
- 01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,681
- There are no two words
- in the English language more harmful
- 831
- 01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:02,723
- than "good job."
- 832
- 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,202
- But is there a line?
- 833
- 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,921
- You know, maybe you go too far and
- you discourage the next Charlie Parker
- 834
- 01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:18,170
- from ever becoming Charlie Parker.
- No, man, no.
- 835
- 01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,762
- Because the next Charlie Parker
- would never be discouraged.
- 836
- 01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,570
- Yeah.
- 837
- 01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:31,640
- The truth is, Andrew...
- 838
- 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,011
- I never really had a Charlie Parker.
- 839
- 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,729
- But I tried.
- 840
- 01:21:41,440 --> 01:21:44,284
- I actually fucking tried.
- 841
- 01:21:44,480 --> 01:21:46,403
- And that's more than
- most people ever do.
- 842
- 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:51,845
- And I will never apologize
- for how I tried.
- 843
- 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:06,446
- I'll see you later.
- 844
- 01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:07,801
- Yeah.
- 845
- 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:13,406
- Hey, Andrew. Listen, I have no idea
- how you're gonna take this,
- 846
- 01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:19,767
- but the band I'm leading for JVC,
- my drummer is not cutting it.
- 847
- 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,368
- You understand
- what I'm saying?
- 848
- 01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:26,441
- No.
- 849
- 01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,927
- I'm using the Studio Band playlist.
- 850
- 01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:32,488
- You know, "Caravan," "Whiplash."
- 851
- 01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:35,402
- I need somebody
- who really knows those charts.
- 852
- 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:40,964
- What about Ryan Connolly?
- 853
- 01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,680
- All Connolly ever was to me
- was incentive for you.
- 854
- 01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:49,767
- Tanner?
- Tanner switched to premed.
- 855
- 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:52,330
- I guess he got discouraged.
- 856
- 01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,444
- Hey. Uh...
- 857
- 01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,207
- Take the weekend.
- Think about it.
- 858
- 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:23,965
- <i>- Hello?
- - Hey, Nicole, it's Andrew.</i>
- 859
- 01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,445
- <i>Hi.
- Hey.</i>
- 860
- 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:35,521
- It's been a while since I talked to you.
- Um...
- 861
- 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,609
- Look, l...
- 862
- 01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:41,122
- I'm really sorry about everything.
- 863
- 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:47,885
- I know that's not, you know, enough,
- but I'm just really sorry. Um...
- 864
- 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:56,409
- But anyway, I got...
- I actually have this show this weekend.
- 865
- 01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:58,284
- It's a, uh...
- 866
- 01:23:58,480 --> 01:24:01,802
- Like, a JVC thing. And I didn't know
- if maybe you'd wanna go,
- 867
- 01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:07,643
- and we, you know, maybe
- get some, like, pizza afterwards,
- 868
- 01:24:07,840 --> 01:24:12,607
- And, like, complain
- about our schools again.
- 869
- 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:14,882
- <i>What is...? You said Jayvees?</i>
- 870
- 01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:18,084
- No, it's, heh, JVC.
- 871
- 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,450
- It's like a... It's a jazz thing.
- 872
- 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:24,405
- Yeah.
- 873
- 01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:26,284
- <i>Oh, okay.</i>
- 874
- 01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:33,361
- <i>Well, I don't know if I can come. I...
- I'll have to check with my boyfriend.</i>
- 875
- 01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:39,645
- Okay.
- 876
- 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,405
- Yeah.
- 877
- 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,247
- <i>Yeah, I'll check, but I don't know.</i>
- 878
- 01:24:45,440 --> 01:24:47,727
- <i>I don't really think he likes jazz music.</i>
- 879
- 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,685
- Yeah, I mean, it's not for everybody.
- 880
- 01:24:53,320 --> 01:24:57,484
- Okay. Well, I guess
- maybe I'll see you guys there.
- 881
- 01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,926
- Okay.
- Okay.
- 882
- 01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,565
- Bye.
- 883
- 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:30,121
- All right, gang, listen up. Now,
- for those of you who are new at this,
- 884
- 01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,723
- which looks like everybody except Cal,
- tonight could change your life.
- 885
- 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:40,331
- The folks out there make a phone call,
- you could be a Blue Note signee,
- 886
- 01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:44,081
- an EMC client,
- a Lincoln Center core.
- 887
- 01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:46,127
- On the other hand,
- 888
- 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,767
- if you drop the ball, you might be
- looking for a new line of work
- 889
- 01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:54,761
- because the other thing
- about these cats is they never forget.
- 890
- 01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:59,804
- We all set?
- 891
- 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:02,844
- All right. Let's have fun.
- 892
- 01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:06,801
- You think I'm fucking stupid?
- 893
- 01:28:07,440 --> 01:28:10,410
- What?
- I know it was you.
- 894
- 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,049
- Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
- 895
- 01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,926
- We're very excited to be here kicking off
- the JVC Festival this year.
- 896
- 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:33,249
- I'm Terence Fletcher, these are some
- of the best musicians in New York,
- 897
- 01:28:33,440 --> 01:28:36,205
- which means they're some of
- the best musicians in the world.
- 898
- 01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:40,450
- We're gonna do some old standards,
- but we're gonna start with a new tune
- 899
- 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,325
- by Tim Simonec called "Upswingin'."
- 900
- 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:30,887
- What the fuck you doing?
- 901
- 01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:44,441
- Come on, man.
- 902
- 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:51,040
- Yeah, I guess
- maybe you don't have it.
- 903
- 01:31:28,480 --> 01:31:32,849
- That was a little extra
- avant-garde there from the rhythm section.
- 904
- 01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:45,411
- Come on, let's go home.
- 905
- 01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:56,164
- What are you doing?
- 906
- 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:14,000
- Uh...
- 907
- 01:32:14,200 --> 01:32:16,851
- Now we're gonna slow it down
- a little bit.
- 908
- 01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,008
- I'm guessing most of you folks
- have heard...
- 909
- 01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:33,607
- I'll cue you in.
- 910
- 01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:35,928
- "Caravan."
- 911
- 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:38,927
- Three, four.
- 912
- 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,082
- I'm gonna gouge out
- your motherfucking eyes.
- 913
- 01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:24,890
- Andrew, what are you doing, man?
- I'll cue you.
