Roadies (2016) s01e09 Episode Script

1 [Reg.]
Previously on Roadies [Janine.]
Guess what? You're about to find out what it's like on the other side of the fence.
I know where all the bodies are buried.
[Bill.]
Christopher's drinking again.
[Preston.]
And hanging by a fucking thread.
Okay, you need to tell everybody who's gonna be hired to go on the European leg.
I just I just assumed that everyone was going.
Sean's father just passed away.
[Bill.]
We got a problem.
Shelli's got to fly home.
I'll see you, okay? [sighs.]
The other day, I found this old hard drive from when I was 16, and I read this letter I wrote to myself.
Amazing piece of writing.
Of course it was.
It was my hard drive.
Well, here.
You take it then.
It's awesome.
Harvey, I need you to be loyal to me right now.
Preston wants Tom to go solo.
I was brought in to break up the band.
[Kelly Ann.]
"Today, I am 16.
Today, I become a person who will claim their life, who will make decisions instantly, who will never look back.
Today, I become the person who will be blazingly true in a world of violent bullshit.
Today, I promise myself as a person and as an artist I will never, ever sell out.
" - All right.
- All right.
It's time to sell out.
It's our first fucking corporate gig.
We'll do three songs.
The band will make a lot of money we'll never see.
Now, if you detect a bit of cynicism, it's because I knew men and women who wrote songs that actually changed the fucking world without taking money from a rubber company.
Hear, hear! And also, our corporate friends have invited us to a party after the set, and they respectfully asked that we wear something clean.
I only got, like, one clean thing.
- Well, throw it on then.
- All right.
All right, and as Jimi Hendrix once said while he was high as fuck on acid: "Stay groovy and stay free.
" - Ow! - Ow! [Puna.]
Hold on.
I've got something to share.
Last night, I had a dream.
A dream about a melting animal.
It will happen tonight.
All right.
Why don't you guys grab your key packets from the manager? I'll see you in there.
You're gonna like your rooms.
They're good rooms.
Okay.
Take it easy.
It's okay.
Holy shit, Puna.
You've got to give me more.
I don't have any more.
Be careful.
Your long distance got him in the way he did What'd he just say? [sighs.]
Hey, this'll perk you up.
Fun Co supplies the synthetic rubber for Maureen Butler's latest active bra.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Weren't you and Maureen Butler an item once upon a night? Yeah, about a million years ago, back when she was just a backup singer for Usher.
The thing is, Phil, there's There's no need to mention any of this to Shelli, okay? Bill, Shelli went home.
The spell's broken.
The spell? The road spell.
Going home breaks the spell.
It's pictures on the refrigerator, dude.
It's her sleeping in her own bed, fucking her own husband.
Look, it had to happen.
But maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
You know, Maureen Butler's gonna be here.
I doubt she'd ever even remember me.
Yeah, you're probably right.
A billion dollars in yoga pants sales tend to erase one's memory.
I was just trying to find the silver lining in the sow's ear, as they say.
What, the silver line The silver lining in what kind of ear? What'd you say? I don't know.
I don't always listen to myself very close.
No, you're right.
It had to end.
Thank you, White Buffalo.
Hey, um, did our Hawaiian friend say it will happen tonight? Your story changed my life, White Buffalo.
Hey, Wes.
Yeah.
Only I call him White Buffalo.
Oh.
[dream pop rock music.]
Sorry.
["Little Cloud" by Desert Stars playing.]
A room Far off Around The little cloud And the danger of spring Dead flowers in spring Ahh - Bill Hanson.
- Yeah.
Hi, I'm Robin, your Fun Co liaison.
Hey, Robin.
Good to meet you.
Welcome to the Fun Co experience.
It's an experience? You know it! Where are we storing gear? In the James Monroe Ballroom, just to the left of the coronation room.
Thank you, Robin.
Excuse me.
You'll be after Future, Phantogram, alt-J, and just before Gwen Stefani.
And as you know, the master of ceremonies is David Spade.
David Spade, great.
We're all big Dead Sex fans.
- That's exciting.
- Yes, you know it.
And Jack Peltz cannot wait to meet the Staton-House Band.
Oh, my guys are so thrilled to meet Mr.
Peltz.
Great.
He's a big fan.
I'll see ya.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
[Milo.]
I've just googled Fun Co.
These guys don't just stop at rubber toys.
They make the most lethal rubber bullet on the market.
Dude, rubber bullets don't kill people.
This one does.
It's called "The Imploder.
" It kills you with a red-hot explosion of rubber.
Warm cookie? Those are oddly shaped.
Who the fuck cares, man? They're free.
They're in the shape of the original Fun Co eraser.
Fascinating.
I know.
Listen, Chelsea, I'm calling because I need to speak to Edgar urgently, and it concerns Extantion business, but also, it concerns me.
Chelsea.
Chelsea.
Fuck! Why d why do you keep looking at Reg? - I'm not.
- Oh, shit.
By the way, I didn't tell you.
We're all going to Europe.
- Wait, what? When? - What? He told me we're all gonna go on the SHB European leg of the tour.
- All of us? - Yeah.
Oh, that's sick! Oh, my God.
I got to find the devil child.
We've got property to destroy.
I'm so fucking happy.
Shelli, thank God.
I thought you had gone home.
Couldn't stay away from ya.
You look happy.
You do.
You look happy.
Wow, thanks, guys.
It's good to see you.
Preston talked us into saying yes to this fucking dog and pony show, and he doesn't even bother to show.
I know.
We used to laugh at other bands for doing stuff like this.
I feel so separate from Chris.
I can't explain it.
You don't have to.
You love him, but you can barely stand to look at him.
Rick's got Natalie now.
I mean, he's never been better, but he's got all these opinions, and you love him too.
But frankly, it was easier for you when he was a sweet pickled fuckup.
- Exactly.
- Mm.
See, this is why you should be managing this band.
Really? Think about it.
But it's just between us.
It's not about Bill.
He always takes Chris's side.
That's why I can't really trust him.
Not like I can trust you.
[sighs.]
So don't tell Bill, okay? Of course.
[clears throat.]
Hi.
You're back.
You didn't stay for the funeral? I you know, I felt like I should be here.
I mean, I knew this gig would be a clusterfuck.
Yeah, well, Tom's really on edge.
O-oh, really? Yeah, because Christopher's not here yet.
But it's okay; I'm on it.
He just wanted to return the yearbook to his mother's house.
What? Nothing.
You just look like you got something on your mind.
Uh, no, no.
I just I mean, how do we deal with this? You know what? I, uh I've actually been giving it a lot of thought, and I think, uh I think that the most simple way to deal with it is to, uh, forget that any of it ever happened between us, and, uh, if you're concerned that I won't be able to do that, don't be.
I meant, how do we deal with Tom being upset, but fine, it's good to know.
Okay, I'm sorry.
I thought that I didn't mean to I thought you No, I'm glad you were honest.
I mean, we have to be honest with each other.
- You know it.
- Okay.
Speaking of which, apparently, Maureen Butler is coming, and she and I did have a thing once.
Um, you know, she taught me about Buddhism.
You're not a Buddhist.
No, I'm not, but it is my favorite of all the religions.
You know, not that she'll even remember me.
[Lapsley's "Hurt Me".]
Hey, Bill.
Maureen.
Can't look at you the same way Anticipating heartbreak, and I know Oh, my gosh.
Puna's melting animal.
It's like a metaphor.
The end of something.
What's up, honey bee? What's buzzing inside that head of yours? Found this thing I wrote when I was 16 on this hard drive that I thought I'd lost forever.
And it was It's like a map of how I always wanted to be.
I've been too rigid.
I've been too serious.
I've just been a seahorse.
Darlin', I already miss the seahorse.
So if you're gonna hurt me Why don't you hurt me a little bit more? I'm Phantogram's manager.
This isn't our lighting style.
This isn't mystery.
This isn't our look.
This is a big misunderstanding.
You said "huge.
" Yeah, I didn't mean four towering buttresses as high as the ceiling.
That's not mystery.
Don't get me wrong, the words "Fun Co" are lit perfectly.
I will clarify the situation and get back to you.
Is it true that Sia pulled out for political reasons? We are at the forefront of all kinds of rubber-based innovations, but Mr.
Peltz violently rebuffs any notion that he condones any actual weapons of destruction.
Our business in the Middle East is mainly recreational, and he knows the Dalai Lama.
[clears throat.]
You again.
Hey.
So what are your thoughts on Libya or Egypt? Or "The Imploder"? My band has a global conscience, you know.
Hey, eraser, look at me.
Okay, let me tell you something, man.
You keep fucking dogging me about the Middle East, I'm gonna cut your heart out, and I'm gonna serve it on a fucking platter like sushi, okay? Just a performer, man.
Trying to make some money.
Just back the fuck off.
Fucking dick.
[woman.]
I hate tall dudes.
Copy that.
We just got a call from Gwen Stefani.
Gwen's running late due to her son's soccer game.
So you'll be going on sooner.
David Spade will introduce you, and of course, Mr.
Peltz specifically requests that you play "Janine.
" Christopher House is his favorite tortured singer-songwriter.
He can't wait to meet him.
Is he here yet? Robin, he's expected any moment.
- Shortly.
- Yeah.
Mr.
Peltz is thrilled that you're doing "Janine" live again.
It's so exciting.
- That definitely - Changed things.
Yeah.
Thanks, Robin.
Good recap.
Thank you.

Financially and in In in many ways, but, sir, I can write a proposal tonight which explains in det No, no, no, no, Reg, there's no need.

Now, you mustn't let anyone over there get wind of the fact that the tour's been called off.

Should I get closer? [cheers and applause.]
[sighs.]
It began with rubber vomit [laughter.]
Rubber roaches, and of course, the fake doggy dropping that put us on the map.
But it didn't stop there.
We moved from those novelty items into an exciting array of quality rubber and thermoplastic products.
We don't just mold, extrude, and fabricate rubber and polyurethanes So do you call everybody Bill, or do you actually remember me? How could I forget? You were the cutest tour manager ever.
- Come on.
- And you brought me tea.
I did.
You told me my voice was great when it wasn't.
Oh, I always loved your voice.
That crazy room service waiter that only spoke Latvian.

[Jack.]
We do it all with love.
You look good, Bill.
You too.

[sighs.]
So, uh, Christopher's plane landed safely.
Thank God.
But he wasn't on it.
- What? - Mm-hmm.
What the fuck are we supposed to do? I need you to go on sooner.
I just got a call that alt-J was stopped at the airport for not having the proper visas, and they were sent home.
- Wait, look - What about Gwen Stefani? She's having an emergency with her kid.
She can't make it either.
Oh, I've heard that one before.
Wait, are you saying you think it might not be true? Because that's what I thought.
Oh, of course it's true.
Why would Gwen Stefani not want to be here? What am I gonna do? This is the 40th anniversary of Fun Co.
And all we have is SHB, Future, and Phantogram.

So looks like we only have today, tomorrow, one last show, and good-bye.
That Mona Lisa is a vacuum It sucks you in to float in space Oh, Stella Now, on the way down here, I stopped at the 99 cent store.
I usually don't go in there because I'm rich, but I'm on hiatus, so I stopped in.
A lot of things in the 99 cent store.
Weirdest thing was the early pregnancy test.
This is for the girl in the regular pharmacy going, "I think I'm pregnant, but I'm not spending more than a buck to find out.
I'll just wait.
" You guys, thanks.
That's my part.

Thank you.
Just Is this real? Okay.
All right.
Ladies and gentlemen, most of Staton-House! [cheers and applause.]
Hey, Fun Co.
After conferring with Mr.
Peltz, we've determined we will only be paying you the guarantee.
[Shelli.]
Let's pretend you never said that, and let me talk to Mr.
Peltz.
I'm sorry.
That is not an option.
How may I help, Robin? You can't help.
You didn't provide a full band, therefore, we won't be paying you in full.
Now, now, Robin, I we put 4/5 of this band up on that stage.
So you'll pay us 4/5 of your contract.
Exactly.
Well said.
She's right.
I cannot deal with this right now.
Robin, you're doing a great job.
Is there any word from Christopher yet? I mean, I don't fucking understand.
I'm texting him this morning.
He said the plane was about to take off.
Well, it did, just not with him.
Why are you looking at me like that? Like what? Never mind.
Uh, what exactly did that text from Christopher say? Just read it to me.
"All's well.
I'm finding my way back.
" Wait.
"I'm finding my way back" is a line from "November Girl.
" Janine.
Janine.
He's with Janine.
On fleek with it, on fleek with it Think she bad, I'ma smash, she a freak with it They lookin' mad at her from the street with it Makin' your mad girl bad, want to creep with it She on fleek with it, on fleek with it Think she bad, I'ma smash [Kelly Ann.]
Look, there he is.
What do you think? He looks like Steve Buscemi.
I know.
I've got to pluck up the courage.
Could I have another Pino Palladino? - You mean a piña colada? - Yeah, sorry.
I got it mixed up with the bassist from The Who.
Okay, this is sick.
There's a big exec at Fun Co named Mr.
Wesley.
They accidentally gave me his suite.
They're gonna regret that.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
You're drinking? I mean, I haven't seen you drink all tour.
Is this 'cause of Christopher? 'Cause I heard it's just strep throat.
No, this is me being the real me.
I begged her to take it slow.
Okay, Kel, you know what, I don't like you drinking.
It never ends well.
That was the past.
Tonight, I change all that.
Okay, just You know what? Just meet me in my room later tonight, okay, so I can keep an eye on you.
I'm throwing a party to network.
To network? Why? To seek employment, man.
You know, Winston's not allowed to go on tour with his dad anymore, so I guess I won't be going with you all to Europe.
Aw, Wes.
It's fine.
It's fine, okay? I know exactly how to create business opportunities.
I'm gonna get hooked up with a new tour before the night's over, mark my words.
She on fleek with it, on fleek with it Think she bad, I'ma smash, she a freak with it They lookin' mad at her from the street with it Makin' your mad girl bad want to I don't understand.
Okay, uh, Natalie, look.
Rick is a difficult, changeable, selfish, extremely friendly guy.
I know.
Of course you do.
Great.
So we're good.
We're just good.
- No, no, we're not.
- Okay.
'Cause you are threatened by the influence I have over him.
That is true, but this comes from Rick.
Not me.
Look at me.
Rick does not want you here.
[voice breaking.]
And I believe you now.
But I'm still not going.
You really thought I would leave? Are you kidding? People are going to tell my story to their children to inspire them.
The little fangirl that could.
Please, you have to go.
And it's an uplifting tale of redemption and transformation.
Think about it.
Was I really just this crazy, obsessed fan, or did I somehow have this inner knowing that this band was where I belonged? Just like Phil's story.
Which one? N-never mind.
Natalie, look.
Where will you sleep? [laughs.]
Take this, okay? It gets cold here at night.
Rick's just afraid of commitment, like all human beings, you know? Yeah, I heard that.
He'll come around.
Reg, you are a sight for sore Wow.
Great.
Europe's gonna be awesome.
Mr.
Peltz, I'm Reg Whitehead.
I've just heard.
I sincerely apologize for the lack of Christopher House.
Man, I am not happy.
And, look, I'm known for being happy.
I spend 36 hours a day happy.
[chuckles.]
The If I may, there's only There's only 24 hours in a day.
You didn't read my business bestseller, When the Road Meets the Rubber? No, I have.
I've read it, yeah.
In the last chapter, I talked about the 36-hour day, so It's entitled "The 36-Hour Day.
" That's the heading of the chapter.
- That's right.
- How could I forget? So yeah, this is on me.
Um, I allowed a situation to unfold which caused Christopher a great deal of shock and emotional turmoil.
That's that's that's why That's why he isn't here.
That's the reason he isn't here.
It's 'cause of me.
I've just I've just long been an admirer of you and your, um, business instincts, and I just I just feel compelled to tell you the truth.
Well, thank you for that, Reg.
But if you'd like some advice, unless you like failure, you need to embrace the selective truth.
I've told the selective truth my entire life.
And I cannot do it anymore.
Do you want to hear the actual truth? It's literally just come to me in this moment now.
I reject your business philosophies and everything that you stand for.
Because you see, Peltz, your father was right.
The key isn't the pencil.
The key is the eraser.
The key to life is the second chance.
What do you mean, a second ago, "emotional turmoil"? What emotional turmoil? Um, I Someone I met Called Janine.
Janine? Yeah.
Not the Janine? Janine.
You know her? You know Janine? I know her.
I-I have to hear this.
Th this is this is better than hearing the fucking song.
Can I buy you a drink? Yeah, yeah.
It's good No, no, not that shit, the good stuff.
Fuck that, yeah.
King of Phantogram.
Wes, you seem like the go-to guy.
Dude, I am your go-to guy for everything.
Well, I got an idea.
How about we Postmates some Hooters buffalo wings, you know? - Yes.
- Extra crispy.
Done.
I got you, dog.
Donna! Wes Coast! Hey, real quick, I'm available all year for employment.
Guitars, people, and coffee.
So here I am, doing teleprompter for Staton-House, and you're doing the video for Phantogram, and you're sat right opposite me, and we're hanging in this bar, and we use real life.
We didn't use Tinder or Blender or Binder.
We used real life.
And we both hate corporate gigs.
Well, I actually kind of love corporate gigs.
We did one for Gillette, and I took, like, ten bags of razors.
Yeah.
[chuckles.]
But don't you think they're kind of These events are like a sellout.
Why? The whole old school vibe is dead.
People don't even clap anymore 'cause they've got a phone in one hand.
Wake up.
We're just here to steal a few watches off of the rotting carcass of what used to be alternative music.
I disagree.
It's just a travesty.
It's like an invisible gas that surrounds you, and then one day, you're just another fucking sellout.
Okay, yeah, you're being anachronistic.
"Anachronistic"? Do you even know what that means? You're you're calling me a relic out of time, and all I'm saying is that I really care about music, and that matters more than ever.
It's not something that can be bought.
It's not something that you can contain in a rubber billionaire's rubber palace.
You're dreaming if you don't realize that it's all different now.
You know, you have a beautiful smile.
You should use it more.
Do you want to get out of here? Yeah.
I do.
Alone.
So quick as that, everything, like, came into focus.
There she is.
Aww, hey, baby.
Good job.
I'm having a great time.
How 'bout you? I'm having a wonderful time.
This is my luminous, effervescent fiancée, Maureen.
Hi, Maureen.
I'm Reginald.
We're not broken Baby If you want me in your life Hello.
Heyo.
[clears throat.]
You know, um, what I said to you before, I shouldn't have, and I I just I apologize.
It We all make mistakes.
I've been [clicks tongue.]
Making one all night.
Yeah.
I'm Logan.
I'm, uh I'm Milo.
Hey, Milo.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
So guess what.
What? We both have suits.
[chuckles.]
- Yep.
- Yeah.
And guess what else.
What else? I can see the future.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
Well, do you want to know what happens? Mm-hmm.
We come back here to this very seat to remember the moment we first met.
If you want me in your life When do you want the future to begin? Must've been odd being up there minus one.
Actually, it was fine.
Hmm.
Here's Here's what I want to say, uh I've given your generous offer a ton of thought, and with all respect, I have to tell you, uh, you're wrong about Bill.
He cares about this band so much.
In fact, no one cares more about this band than Bill does.
So I'd really love to manage you guys, but, um, I won't do it without him.
He makes me better.
I know it.
Together, we can give you everything.
My heart is with this band.
So is his.
So I'm not saying take it or leave it.
I'm saying take it.
What are you What are you doing? What are you looking for? I lost my hard drive.
