Scene 4 Flashcards
Start of scene
Bender! Facebender! Over here!
FB: if you’ll excuse me
Please! Stay! I want to apologize. Did you get my messages?
FB:I must to the green room now.
I apologized! Now forgive me!
FB: you called us second rate unfuckable losers.
I was out of my mind.
FB: it might smell like old sweat and stale beer in here but it’s supposed to be safe.
I didn’t mean all that stuff you heard me say to David. That wasn’t the real me. He turns me into some kind of rage monster. It’s really gnarly. It’s like I took a Time Machine right back to our breakup. But I’m not that person anymore I promise. I’m a million times sorry okay?
TN: im a million times sorry okay?
Hey, remember San Diego. Remember when I called you down and we all worked as like a kickass squad and then you absolutely slayed. And then you added me to the group text? That’s the real me, that’s the Nina.
FB: do you want to know how I got into air guitar?
I would love to know.
FB: I work for the county of San Diego.
What do you do? None of you ever talk about your jobs.
FB: except for right now when I’m telling you this story
Got it
FB: do you know what a public guardian is?
Like Batman?
FB: that’s my job, the apartment cleaning bit.
Whoa. How do you get a job like that?
FB: but I’ll tell you one thing.
What?
FB: I put it in my will.
That’s amazing.
FB: I move that we unanimously accept her sincere apology.
I’m so so so so sorry guys! I’m the worst I know.
GT: this all might be pretend but it’s serious pretend.
I get it. Can I please get back on the group text? Please?
FB: I believe the standard ritual of reconciliation will serve as a suitable penance.
Which is?
SE: Tune our guitars!
Oh come on!
FB: it is the traditional mode.
Fine
SE: much obliged.
This is a bit much y’all.
GT: I thank you.
Okay, how many of these things do I have to watch before I understand what airness is?
SE: it can’t be coached. It almost can’t be explained.
Oh that clears it up!
FB: you cannot fully appreciate one without the other.
I’ll get there okay? Next month? New York? I’ll be so ready.
GT: New York is a huge venue and the competition will be fierce as hell.
I’ll know when I’m ready. Trust me.
GT: dude that was most definitely not about you.
Shreddy, I really am sorry.
SE: you said you tuned.
Yeah but I feel like I should…I need to say something more to you. You were nice enough to coach me and I felt like maybe we were becoming….like…maybe…
SE: is it that hard for you to say the word friends?
Fa-rends? Yes friends. I want us to be friends because I think you’re cool.
SE: I am. I am cool.
Sooo… Chicago is your home turf. Gonna do I don’t wanna grow up again tonight?
SE: Johnny Ramone and I are in this together, what?
I mean so many Ramones songs objectively rock harder.
SE: everything about I don’t want to grow up makes it perfect for air guitar, for me and for the central conference finals.
Goooo onnnn
SE: this is all urban kismet.
I want to be sedated is better known.
SE: am I, Shreddy Eddy, a man who wants to be sedated?
Well it’s just-
SE: and he wrote that song for exactly me!
Exactly you?
SE: that’s what I bring to the stage
You have the thing, it’s charisma it’s magnetism-
SE: some of us here want to win this because we believe it’s special.
I think it’s special too!! I really do.
