Sorry We Missed You

I want to eat

and violent

:

Let me get there

let me, let me

:

Let me get there

:

Lulu!

Mmm.

Lou.

Stop.

Lou, it's up time.

Mm-hmm.

Up time.

Huh?

- Yeah. - Come on.

Come on, stop that.

We got to get right to it for grizzle. Remember?

Okay.

Yo, I got some smoothie for you.

You're gonna fuckin' hate it.

But it's healthy.

Want some? I wouldn't recommend it.

- It's disgusting. - Mm-mm.

Okay, poops.

Dance time.

:

For something

in our lives.

Yes!

No?

Nah? No?

Okay.

And I would do anything for love.

What's the thing that he won't do in that song?

What's left for him to not do?

Anal.

I used to imagine Jeff Goldblum was my dad.

Saw him in The fucking Fly, I was like,

"Yo, that must be what my dad looks like."

Also explains a lot, 'cause the dude's fucking weird.

But he looks like me, man.

- It's true, yeah. - Yeah!

You kind of look like Jeff Goldblum.

Why is it okay to, like, use a toothpick in public

but not floss? Have you ever tried that?

To floss my teeth in public? No. - To floss in public.

Like, you're just at the dinner table, you just pull out some...

I used to imagine my funeral a lot

when I was a kid... at school in math.

Fun!

I used to daydream about my funeral.

Then I'd make myself cry!

Uh, yeah, I think I'd get cremated.

What about you?

Cremated...

or, like, just fed to the birds, you know?

Well, you know, now you can get

ashes put into tattoo ink.

- My face on your back. Your face?

Where the clown is.

What? Yeah.

Yo, we don't need to... we don't need to put 'em all out.

I know, but we just need to fill 'em up a little bit.

- Okay. - That's good.

You want to put out... put out some different ones?

Hmm?

That's the face of a sale.

Okay, this one costs, uh, 50 bucks extra because...

- It's an original artwork. - I'm gonna spit on.

- A $50... Oh! - Okay, a hundred bucks.

That's ten grand.

- Did you guys sound-check? - No, not yet.

We're going on at...

- 5:00? - Did Margaret sound-check yet?

Yo, you sound-checked yet?

No.

Not looking forward to it.

Terrified.

Half my shit is broken down.

: Ah.

Ah.

: Ah.

Ah.

It's... it's probably a two out of ten

in terms of his hearing. He can't...

He's having trouble even communicating with me.

It-it's...

I got to see a doctor?

He... he can see you now.

- What? - He can see you right-right now.

- Now? - Yes, I-I...

Hey, Lulu. Uh, sorry I had to run out, baby.

I got to deal with some shit, okay?

Don't worry about anything, okay?

Mr. Stone?

Oh. Oh, yeah.

: Ah.

: Okay, how is that volume?

Is the volume loud enough?

Good.

Can you hear me?

: What? - You can hear me okay?

- Volume-wise? - I can hear you.

Okay.

I'm gonna say these words.

I want you to repeat them back to me.

I'm gonna start with just your right ear.

Okay?

Bass.

Bass.

Mess.

Car.

Mop.

: Noisy.

Search.

Throat.

- Ditch. - Fish.

Talk.

T...

Ring.

Broom.

Germ.

Life.

Team.

Lid.

Lid.

This is your chart, Ruben.

Now, as far as the volume that you can hear,

you, on your right ear, were 28%,

and on your left ear, you were 24%.

- It's what? - In the left ear,

you came in at 24%.

Okay.

No matter how loud I made the test...

I could have put it at 11... you were still going to miss

70% to 80% of the words that I said.

Okay.

That is not good.

Yeah, I see that.

So, what...

What can we do about it?

How do I get it back?

Well, um...

you have to understand something here.

Whether or not this is related to

your exposure to noise

or it's an autoimmune issue

doesn't really matter.

I understand I got a problem.

I'm asking you what I can do about it.

Well, what you can do about it first

is to eliminate all exposure to loud noises.

And then we can run some tests and we can determine exactly

what is going on with your ears.

And if we do, then we can have our other conversations.

We can have what?

Well, there are implants that bypass the cochlea.

You said implants?

- Yes. - Those work?

For people with severe hearing loss or

complete deafness, yes, they help.

Well, then let's do that.

Well, it's not that simple.

Uh, it's a very involved process, and it's quite costly.

How much is it?

Well, they can run between $40,000 and $80,000,

depending, and they are not covered by insurance.

Okay.

And, um...

Like, when-when can you do it?

You got 'em in stock now?

Mr. Stone, your hearing

is deteriorating rapidly.

Am I right?

And over the next few days,

or even hours, it's going to continue.

And the hearing that you have lost

is not coming back.

: You have to understand

your first responsibility

is to preserve the hearing you have.

Ruben, what the fuck?

Yes, it'll come back.

I have to...

There's, like, a surgery.

What?

It's simple. It's all it is. There's an implant.

They put it in your shit.

It's like a...

Okay, it'll come back.

It's fine, Lou.

It's, like, 40 grand, 80 grand, whatever,

but it's...

it'll come back.

Till then, Lou, we just keep going, okay?

- No. No. - Lou. Listen to me.

Let's play tomorrow, let's see what it's like.

Let's try it, okay?
