Oh, you're just singin'
about yourself in this song?
- Is that what you're saying?

my feelings, and what I've
been through and it's about me.
Aww, really? Yeah. Oh,
your feelings? Yeah, right.
- Hm.
- JOCELYN: Yeah, right.
Mike, did I ever tell you
about how I first met this guy?
- Sage, did I tell you this story?
- SAGE: No.
It's so funny. He, uh, knew this, like,
random backup dancer of mine,
and he saw that I
followed her on Instagram,
and he'd been, like,
obsessed with me for years,
like back when he was
in prison and stuff,
and, um, he had her,
like, bring me to his club.
And then he pointed me
out on the dance floor
- and he's like, "Is that Jocelyn? Oh, my God."
- That's not true.
JOCELYN: "You're here." It is true.
- TEDROS: That's not fucking true.
- JOCELYN: And, and we were dancing and stuff
and then when we started talking,
he was talking about "When Doves Cry,"
and Prince, and everything, 'cause
she must've told him that I had
this, like, huge poster
of Prince upstairs.
I'm the one that pointed that out.
I'm the one that pointed
out the coincidence.
You're a fucking con man and a fraud.
- MIKE'S ASSOCIATE: Ooh, shit.
- Oh, really?
JOCELYN: Yeah, and it was
this whole fuckin' setup.
This whole time, he had
this crazy fucking plan,
- and it worked, ya know?
- TEDROS: Fuck you, Jocelyn.
- It worked.
- That's some super LA shit.
Fuck you, Mike.
MIKE: Fuckin' vampire.
- TEDROS: It's bullshit.
- Chloe, when did, uh,
Tedros first bring me up?
Uh, I mean, he's been manifesting this
- for forever.
- What are you t Chloe, no, that's not true.
What the fuck you That's not true.
Not true.
You wanted to find a way into my life?
You wanted me to hear
your artists? I did.
I like them.
They can stay.
You, on the other hand, can go.

It's so funny. He, uh, knew this, like,
random backup dancer of mine,
and he saw that I
followed her on Instagram,
and he'd been, like,
obsessed with me for years,
like back when he was
in prison and stuff,
and, um, he had her,
like, bring me to his club.
And then he pointed me
out on the dance floor
- and he's like, "Is that Jocelyn? Oh, my God."
- That's not true.
JOCELYN: "You're here." It is true.
- TEDROS: That's not fucking true.
- JOCELYN: And, and we were dancing and stuff
and then when we started talking,
he was talking about "When Doves Cry,"
and Prince, and everything, 'cause
she must've told him that I had
this, like, huge poster
of Prince upstairs.
I'm the one that pointed that out.
I'm the one that pointed
out the coincidence.
You're a fucking con man and a fraud.
