Scenes with Ronnie

4 scenes
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?

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.

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.

Graham Parker

Got a bit of a problem. Touch of gout.

Pete

Gout?

Graham Parker

Yeah, my whole family, they all had gout.

Pete

Jesus.

Ronnie

That's very unfortunate.

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.

Graham Parker

A couple of bunions as well.

Ronnie

****.

Jason

Oh, my gosh, hi. Me, oh, my. I did not see you there.

Desi

Hi.

Ronnie

I saw you there.

Desi

Did you guys come together? Are you... a couple?

Desi
[Ronnie and Jason both deny it]

I just, I'm sorry, I thought it was, uh... the mustache is a little...

Jason

Mm, that's fair.

Desi

I just assumed.

Ronnie

This is a straight man's mustache.

Desi

What is the difference between a gay man's mustache and a... straight man's mustache?

Jason

The smell.
