Pete
Don't talk to me about responsibilities. I have a life. I have a family. I can't afford to sit in my apartment getting high, jerking off, and then going to Tommy's Chili Burgers at three o'clock in the morning.
Ronnie
That's not even the order that happens in!
Ronnie
[Referring to Graham Parker video they are viewing]
What are you doing?
C Cat
I'm contextualizing him as one of the great figures in rock history.
Ronnie
You can't show him in his prime in '77 and then jump straight to him as he is now. It's terrifying. You have to reverse it. You have got to show him as he is now, very briefly, and then show him in 1977. You have got to Benjamin Button it.
C Cat
I don't know what you're talking about. All rock stars are older now. Steven Tyler, David Bowie, Mick Jagger...
Pete
Paul McCartney.
Ronnie
Okay, stop it. Everybody that you are mentioning looks like an old woman now. You're just mentioning a bunch of Jessica Tandys. Keith Richards gets away with it, but that's because Keith Richards looked 70 when he was 40. And now that he's 70, he looks 69. He's regenerating.
GP Graham Parker
Got a bit of a problem. Touch of gout.
Pete
Gout?
GP Graham Parker
Yeah, my whole family, they all had gout.
Pete
Jesus.
Ronnie
That's very unfortunate.
GP Graham Parker
My auntie Queenie, she had a foot like the size of a small pig. I've got a photo of it.
Ronnie
I'd love to see that photo of that gout foot.
GP Graham Parker
A couple of bunions as well.
Ronnie
****.
J Jason
Oh, my gosh, hi. Me, oh, my. I did not see you there.
Ronnie
I saw you there.
D Desi
Did you guys come together? Are you... a couple?
D Desi
[Ronnie and Jason both deny it]
I just, I'm sorry, I thought it was, uh... the mustache is a little...
Ronnie
This is a straight man's mustache.
D Desi
What is the difference between a gay man's mustache and a... straight man's mustache?
