The Girl from the Song

Hey, Eric.

Massive party happens tonight, yeah?

-Can't miss it. -Great.

And don't forget to bring some beers, man.

-Cool. -Cheers, mate.

This bit is just pressed just behind. Okay.

Really, really nice. One more time?

Hey, man, you want a drink?

Oh, my God, seriously?

Hey, man, you made it!

We're true bruvas, yeah?

Sure.

Hello?

Hello?

-Is anyone around? -Yeah.

Hi, hey...

Can you come and help me, please? I'm kind of stuck.

Yeah.

Thank you!

Um...

Yeah, I'm higher than I thought I was gonna be, do you...

do you think you can help me down, please?

Hello! How are you?

I'm...fine.

Yeah? Good, good.

Do you think you can help me down, please?

-Yeah, um... -Thank you!

How-what do you want me to do?

Um, I don't...

Hey, what are you looking at?

No, I'm joking, it's fine. It's fine.

Fine?

All right, how-how do you wanna do it?

If you could just move your leg...

Where? I...

Oh!

Ah!

Listen, you have to wait your turn.

But have to take care of him now.

Come on, look at him! His nose is bigger than his face.

W-Why don't you just go back to the party?

What, and leave you like this?

So, you're a musician?

I heard you playing before I jumped out the window.

It was really good.

Do you play anywhere?

Yeah, in class.

No, I mean, like in a real place where people can hear you.

Come on, Eric, I said I was sorry.

Don't make me feel worse.

We might have to spend the whole night here.

Well, you could just leave.

Are you gonna pass out?

No!

Ah!

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay.

Be careful.

You can trust me, man. On the count of three.

One...

Two...

-Aah! -Oh, God.

Oh, oh...

Shh!

-How's it look? -Nasty.

But sexy.

So, man, you said you were gonna tell me about this girl.

There's not really much to say.

I mean, she doesn't live here, she just broke in.

It's crazy.

Oh, yeah, I know that type of woman.

-Shh... -Bet you do.

So, did you manage to uh...?

You know?

Get in there?

We were in a hospital, I was covered in blood.

Yeah, that's true.

To be honest...

I think I might have been a bit mean to her.

Oh...well, that's good.

No, not like m...

No.

Is...is that her?

Don't say anything.

Don't say anything.

She's gorgeous, man.

-Yeah. -Never told me she was hot.

Yeah, I know, she's pretty.

Please, I have to do this. I've got to get this done.

I haven't got time for this.

Jason!

-Hey! -Shh!

-Hey, girl! -Guys, this is the fucking library!

Here's Eric!

Yeah!

She's comin'.

Hey!

-How are you? -Hi!

Better.

Yeah? How's your nose? Is it be--sorry.

Don't! Don't touch it, it really hurts.

Does it?

It's much better now, isn't it, Eric?

Yeah, it looks a lot better.

-I'm Jason. -Hi, I'm Jo.

-Hello, Jo. -Nice to meet you.

-How's it going? -Nice to meet you too.

-It's going good. -Jo!

What are you doing here?

We're going to the pub tonight.

There's a jam session on.

What, now?

-Yeah, now. -No.

Hey!

-Come on, Eric. It's gonna be fun. -No.

-Yeah. -No, look, I got...sorry.

Eric, Eric, Eric,

you need to-you need to sing in front of this girl.

I am definitely not gonna play, no!

Well, Jason says we're going.

Yeah, Jason says, we're gonna go.

Shh!

Don't I get a say in this?

Come on, guys, let's go!

The Stones?

-Hurry up! -No, it's overdone.

-Eric Clapton? -Too hard.

Look at these two. Playin' down here?

-Dylan? -You can't play Dylan here.

Go home.

-Looking great! -Oh.

Thank you! Hey!

Maybe not.

Guys, come on! Let's go!

Come on, Eric, let's go!

Oh, preppy kids.

Does she speak French?

Yes.

I'm sorry, man.

-There's no space tonight. -No?

It's all right, don't worry.

I didn't know there was gonna be so many people.

-Next time. -Jo?

-Hey! -Hi!

Give me a second, I'll be right back.

-I've gotta go, really. -No, no, no.

Don't go.

Let me get you a drink.

Just one drink, okay?

I'm paying.

And get me a beer, as well.

Oh, thanks, Jo, yeah, yeah, I'd love a drink.

Cheers. Nice one.

What? She's paying.

-Hey, you seen Jo? -No.

It's a bit rude, innit? Like...

dragging us here and then bailing.

Why don't you just relax, Eric?

Well, I'm gonna find her and tell her I'm leaving.

I'll give you my number, you can call me afterwards.

Maybe, who knows.

All right, I'm off, man.

Did you manage to find her?

No, uh, she'll work it out. You comin'?

Yeah.

I'm really sorry to interrupt your evening, everyone.

But we have an amazing musician here tonight.

And he's a really good friend of mine, as well.

And I think it'll be a real shame if we all went home

and we didn't hear him play.

So, can we please have a huge round of applause for Eric!

Come on, please come onstage!

Come on, Eric, man, you've gotta go, this is your chance.

It's his first time.

-Yeah! -Come on, Eric!

Come on!

-Hey, watch it. -Sorry.

Come on!

Come on, get up.

-I'm gonna kill you. -Good luck!

Sorry.

You are the man!
