Electra

If you're gonna look at me like I'm an ass,

just feed me a carrot.

You're lucky I don't have my riding crop.

Am I?

Are you prepared?

Yeah, I'm good.

He has to like you, okay?

Everybody likes me, Dylan.

Okay, well, just make sure to bring up the painting

at some point tonight.

Hmm. Yeah.

Thank you so much for arranging this.

It's my pleasure.

Yeah. -Please.

Grazie.

Thank you. -Thank you, please.

Shh, shh, shh.

This synth, man.

This synth, it tickles me.

Yeah. I feel it.

Yeah, you know, it's the Juno.

It's all over Bananafishbones.

Of course, the Cure.

Yeah, come here.

Yeah!

Come here, come here, come here.

Yes.

-Yeah, of course. Of course.

-Dylan, by the way. -Dylan, Milo.

Good to meet you, man.

-Yeah, me too. -Glad this worked out.

Me too.

Thanks for doing this interview.

Oh, man pleasure.

Dazed Magazine.

Very special place in my heart.

I see you, uh, you brought a little sous-chef.

Oh.

Lucy, my girlfriend slash third eye.

-Hi. -(CHUCKLES)

A la grande.

Oh, grazie.

Oh, straight to it.

-Yeah. -Straight to it.

How do you want to be shot without asking?

You can shoot me all day long.

Bulletproof.

Okay, just a few more.

Do you care what people really think of you?

Yeah, man. Don't you?

Well, I guess it depends who it is.

And what are they looking at? Me or their image of me?

Hearts to Cure.

Your third album.

Tell me about it.

Am I making you nervous?

Are you happy with it?

Yeah, man. Are you?

Huh? Do you like it?

-Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, man. Best yet.

It's um, you know, it's about the in-between, the liminal.

You know, when you're in transition between two states

of being after something ends unexpectedly.

You've got to pull that shit in and embrace it.

I like working with artists.

Peter Green's band had grit, but they did not have the...

-Heart, man. -Yes.

Like, fine, you're a fucking genius,

-but like-- -Make me feel something.

Yes. -He knows that.

He knows what I'm talking about.

Jesus.

Get a room or something.

Fucking, yeah. -Milo?

Yeah?

Excuse me, I'm-- I'm sorry for interrupting.

I'm a-- I'm a huge fan.

I never, ever usually do this, but can I, yeah...

Can I ask for your autograph, please?

Us...

Please?

Have you got something?

Yeah.

Um, maybe, maybe, here.

I-- I'm not, I'm not gonna...

You see?

You want me to fucking do this?

No.

No.

Oh my God, I'm so-- I'm so sorry.

I really didn't want.

Okay.

-I'm Francesca. -(CHUCKLES)

In your fucking face.

Oh, I hate this term.

You know, art is art.

Life is performance.

Hmm.

At least you have the courage to live it out on stage, right?

Firemen are courageous.

Francesca likes wigs.

Francesca also likes firemen.

-Does she? -Oh yeah, she does.

No, it's true, it's brave what she does, performing, it is.

You know, I find my freedom in the realms of eccentricity.

And I'm also a sculptor.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I couldn't fucking do it.

Well, baby, your business won't tolerate a poet.

That's not what I meant.

The feeling comes through.

-Always. -Hmm. Mm-hmm.

Well, not like before.

Before what?

Before they got their hooks in him.

I'm sitting right here.

You know you can do better.

See, this is why I love her.

Because she fucking brings me down to earth.

You can't buy a painting like that

and expect people to not talk about it.

Baby, I have fucking talked it to death now.

Well, you're gonna talk more.

I will, I will say something.

I think that,

I think a conversation piece, it--

you know, it warrants a conversation, you know?

Hmm.

So, say something about it.

Who said that?

What?

Who said that?

Me. (CHUCKLES)

She did.

Wow, that's-- it's a good one.

Thank you.

I would really love to like, get a nice um, like,

photo portrait of you guys in front of the painting.

Oh, fuck.

-You should-- -If I could at any point.

They should.

You guys should come to Francesca's country house

this weekend.

Oh, no.

Yeah, that would be, that would be great.

-Yeah, they should. -I can't.

I thought it's your son's birthday this weekend.

Oh, but he's seeing his mom.

I'm seeing him, just me, next weekend.

You should come, come.

-That would be so fun. -I think it would be great.

-I think, yeah. -Done!

Okay.

I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

Where are you staying?

Hotel De Russie.

-Oh. -De Russie.

We just walked past it.

Did we?

Fucking Dazed must be doing well, man.

Indeed.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Okay, I'm calling you tomorrow.

Buzz us.

-Ciao. -Okay, ciao.

Ciao, ciao.

How long do I have to stay in character?

Just go with the flow.

I need you to study your backstory for Lucy.

Yeah?

Are you saying I don't get a break?

No.

They're gonna ask us questions when we get there.

Lucy's favorite color is pink.

It's all in the details, babe.
