Hey, there!
If you go around the the back, I'll be down in a minute.
All right, everybody, let's stay together.
Hi, I'm Alan...
and this is the St. Peder's Lutheran Youth Group.
I'm Sebastian.
Welcome to the future!
That's my nana.
Thank you for visiting...
the House of Tomorrow, here in North Branch, Minnesota.
You'll be touring this incredible space shortly...
but first, it's important for you to understand...
how it came to be.
That all begins with a man named Buckminster Fuller.
You want to rotate one of them like this...
and bring it in like this.
And then, stick it together, it becomes a tetrahedron.
Fuller designed three-wheeled...
fuel-efficient cars...
energy-saving homes that use aviation technology.
And perhaps his best known achievement, the geodesic dome.
The geodesic dome can enclose the same space...
as a regular building, using far fewer materials.
It's a shining example of Fuller's design philosophy...
of doing more... less.
Fuller believed the world's resources...
could be distributed to everyone fairly.
This is where I go to school.
So it's just you and that lady all the time?
Yep.
The tour culminates here...
so you can follow me back upstairs and finish the film.
His radical ideas were embraced...
by the counter-culture.
And no one took to these beliefs more passionately...
than his prized pupil...
architect Josephine Prendergast.
This place could be sick for an overnight...
with a bunch of people.
What is an overnight?
You know, like a sleepover? A slumber party?
It's like a party where people sleep over?
That would be fun.
I can tell you if there's one in your future. I read palms.
We're all so privileged...
to live on what Bucky called Spaceship Earth.
But you know, we're destroying our beautiful planet...
with pollution and wars and ignorance, and arrogance.
Do you have a boner?
I barely touched you.
But it's not too late to fix things.
A question?
Uh, yeah, just a quick follow-up. Um, are you crazy?
Jared! Apologize.
No... it's all right. Now why do you think that?
Well, because you live in this thing.
And you actually think that the world can be fixed.
I don't think it can be fixed. I know...
Oh, god! Are you all right? Oh, god.
Nana?
We need to call an ambulance!
- Nana? - Lady?
Sebastian, right?
This is fucked.
Yes, I need an ambulance.
I'm at the geodesic dome, Bridge Road, the House of Tomorrow.
Did you want something else?
No, this is... fine.
Why couldn't I just go home with Meredith?
Because you'll forget to take your pills if I'm not with you.
Come on. Come on.
You're a good boy.
This one... this one gives me diarrhea.
Jared, come on.
What? It's a bodily function.
Your boy, God, created it. He created loose stool.
They must know something by now.
Thank you for your consideration.
Of course.
Thank you for your consideration.
You're not some kind of asshole genius, are you?
I don't think so, no.
Autistic?
So that old lady is like your overlord?
She's my guardian.
What do you mean, your guardian?
Ever since my parents died...
Nana made sure I stayed on the right path.
She says there's the traditional way to live...
and then there's the dynamic, independent way to live...
the way Buckminster Fuller did.
Which means what exactly?
Well, like Fuller...
my life will be one of experiment and higher ideals.
A life of constant question and risk.
Did you know, Bucky once called himself Guinea Pig B?
He said his life was just an experiment.
When I was just a boy, my nana would sometimes...
call me Guinea Pig S. She said I was a living experiment, too.
She said I would serve humanity, just like Bucky did.
What, with like volunteering and shit?
No, not exactly.
Well, then what?
Well, I'm gonna change the world.
What is it that you listen to on those?
On this? Uh, well, today, The Germs.
Why, what do you listen to?
Well, Nana has her classical albums...
and she also has this incredible tape of whale calls...
she listens to, to aid her digestion.
Wow.
Well, you better prepare yourself, dude.
Put 'em in your ears.
Okay, you ready?

What the heck is the matter with you?
Have you lost your mind?
Sebastian, your grandma's had a stroke.
Hey... it's me.
So-na.
What?
You drank so-da.
Alan gave me an RC.
You're going away.
No, no, I'm here... right here with you.
They said I should stay here for the night.
I can take her home in the morning.
Well, that's good.
It could have been a lot worse.
Jared wanted me to give you his info.
In case you ever feel like a day away from your... your home.
Jared wanted you to give me this?
Mm-hm, well, he didn't actually say it.
He's in the van right now, thinking about his behavior.
But I could tell he really wanted to hear from you again.
Take care, Sebastian.
Here you go.
Dear Jared...
Your father handed me this web address...
and a bag of pretzels.
You were in the car at the time...
ruminating about your behavior.
I don't believe you witnessed this.
I wondered today, did you really want me to contact you?
Sebastian.
Sebastian, your writing is worse...
than your talking. It makes me wanna cock punch you.
One thing to know about my dad: he's ignorant plus a liar.
Call tomorrow.
I will.
Who are you talking to?
Nana... has your health improved?
Did you finish your homework?
I wasn't sure if I should complete it...
without the accompanying lessons.
Well, what have you been accomplishing?
Well, I was doing some investigating on the web.
Stanford has archived some newly discovered documents on Bucky.
Hm...
I need you to go to the pharmacy to get my prescription.
Of course.
Sebastian! Jared will be pleased.
Is he here?
Oh, yes... where else would he be?
Everyone's at home, except my wife.
She's always flying somewhere. Sales. How's your grandma?
She's improved, thank you.
Good to hear. Jared's upstairs.
You can keep your shoes on. We're a shoes-on house.
Just give 'em a good wipe!
Hello?
Who let you in?
Your father... I want to know more about punk.
What is that smell? It's vinegary.
You know, I never really said you could come over here.
Sebastian, you're not going?
Thank you, Mr. Whitcomb, but I have a lengthy bike ride.
Don't you like grilled cheese?
Dad, he's gotta go.
He should stay for sandwiches.
How are you feeling, any better?
Yeah, I'm feeling great.
How's your stomach?
Dad, I'm feeling fine. Please drop it.
What's the verdict?
Have you ever played guitar before?
All right, now strum. Strum.
What are those for?
I peed my pants earlier. That's what stinks in here.
It's my pee pants in the closet.
I, um, I'm taking this new med that makes me pee...
all the time, and I just got tired of going...
so I tried to hold it, and I guess I just couldn't...
I couldn't do it.
Oh.
My dad is trying to get me to go back to school, and I'm like...
"Dad, I can't go back to school, I'm fucking peeing my pants."
Why do you take so much medicine?
You wanna see?
I have someone else's heart.
I've only had it for about six months.
So what, you want to learn about punk or what?
It's 20 bucks a class.
I have to pay?
Come on, I thought you were like this furry, little guinea pig?
Isn't your life like an experiment?
Well, that's what this is, this is an experiment.
Every time man makes a new experiment...
he always learns more, you cannot learn less.
- Okay. - Okay?
Okay, yes... I accept.
Cool.
Bring your first payment Sunday at 10:00.
And wear dress pants.
What does this mean to you?
The Dymaxion map?
Yeah.
Is this a pop quiz?
No.
Well, Fuller's Dymaxion map depicts things more accurately.
Revealing that the earth's land mass...
resembles one contiguous island.
The Dymaxion map shows that we're all united!
And yesterday, while you were out...
I had this moment of clarity and I realized that...
I had to make it public right away.
So I called The North Branch Courier...
and granted them an interview.
About what?
The Buckminster Fuller Institute of Minnesota.
Institute?
Mm-hm, we're gonna expand your garden operation...
and sell organic produce.
Our study is going to be a lending library stocked with...
All of this begins with the Dymaxion map...
painted beneath our feet, to remind people...
that we're all in this together.
Well, when I was out, I saw some signs for a sale...
at the hardware store on Sunday, I could get paint then.
Perfect.
Someone gonna get the door? No?
You?
Hey, Sebastian, this is my sister Meredith.
You can probably guess, she totally sucks.
It's just my brother's boyfriend.
Be right there!
Check it out. What Would Jared Do.
What? I don't know.
No, it's not a fucking question.
It's What Would Jared Do. I'm giving you the initials.
Do you have my money?
Yes... $20.
Cool.
Oh, glad you're joining us today, Sebastian!
This your first time going to church group?
Um, my Nana and I don't attend church.
What is it that you believe in then?
If you don't mind my asking.
We believe in synergy.
Oh... then you are gonna love this.
What I want you to do is write down something...
that's holding you back.
Something keeping you from committing entirely to God...
and to yourself. We'll call it an idol.
Write it down and we'll cast them into the flames.
What does this have to do with punk?
Listen carefully.
Take this.
What's this?
In a second, I'm gonna cause a diversion.
- He's gonna fall for it. - There's your idol.
You'll run down to the closet, open it and grab the bass.
It's like a guitar, but it's got four strings on it...
so it's a lot bigger. So grab it and hide it somewhere safe.
Stealing?
Listen to me, either you do this and you help a friend...
or you deny a young, sick man the gift of music.
We're friends?
No, not if you don't do this for me. Come on.
I bet I know what this is.
Don't make me do this for nothing.
Do what?
Dad! I'm having a rejection!
Jared!
Um, okay, I can get some towels!

I'm supposed to take you to the hospital.
It was your meat loaf!
I can't eat the goddamn green peppers...
I've told you that.
Like, I can't digest it, so that's what happened.
Sebastian, I'm sorry you had to experience this.
I was hoping that you would have a good time...
and want to come back.
Nothing ever seems to go right around here.
I know you saw me.
But I saw what you did, and I'll tell if you tell.
Are we clear, you perv?
It's because I'm damaged goods.
Don't you ever say that about yourself.

How did you practice with your other bands?
When the hell did I say I had other bands?
Well, I just assumed.
Don't assume things. You don't know anything.
I know how to... I know how to do this.
I went searching on the web.
It's a G... take this, use a pick.
Yeah, do it like... be like dah-nah-nah-nuh-nuh-nuh-duh.
So, watch me. Nuh-duh-duh-nuh-nuh-nuh.
I'm going. Duh-duh-duh-duh.
Can you do it that fast to me? Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh.
And then go to the second string. C. You can sing that.
Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh.
Move up in it! Duh-nuh-nuh-nuh. D-D-D.
Up a step. D-D-D-D-D-D-D.
Now back to G-G-G-G-G-G-G, every single time.
- G-G-G-G. - G-G-G-G...
You okay? What's wrong?
I'm actually supposed to warm-up...
before I do any physical activity.
That was probably just too fast.
We'll take a break.
Yeah. Let's brainstorm band names.
Hey, what about Dangerous Knives?
Is that a real suggestion?
Yeah.
No... no cutlery.
Is he here to mop up your piss?
Shut up, why don't you have your period somewhere else?
Oh, God, I could smell it through the floorboards.
Just stop!
Why? He's always a dick!
I don't care.
- Yeah, fuck off, Meredith. - Fuck you.
You stop it, too. Jesus Christ!
Do not take the name of the Lord in vain!
Oh, my god, cut the religious shit, Dad, seriously.
The only reason you took the church job...
and suddenly believe in God, is because you want me hanging...
out with a bunch of losers who don't drink or smoke or fuck.
See? Why do you let him walk all over you?
Because I'm gonna die first.
Shit, Jared.
Can we still be futurists...
even if we think about the past sometimes?
Where's this coming from?
Well, why don't we ever talk about my parents?
What are we supposed to do?
Torture ourselves every day with memories from the past?
No...
Only positive thoughts.
Negativity just clogs us up and weighs us down.
I think we're gonna need some different brushes...
for all our fine detail work.
All right.
How about the Exploding Faces?
Well, how does a face explode?
Like from a missile. I don't know, dude!
There's no wrong answers in brainstorming.
The Bandits?
No. Pissy Cargo Pants? No, that's dumb.
The Sins? The Deathly Sins?
No. What about Stool Samples?
No.
Hey, have you ever tasted pussy?
Me? What? No, I don't...
If you can't say it, then you are one. You're welcome.
Jared, how did you get this?
Well, while you were staring at slushies...
I showed the guy my scar and gave him the whole sob story.
And he gave you this?
Everyone is so scared that I'm gonna die...
before I get to drink beer or touch a tit, it's pity swag.
Are you worried about dying?
Hell, no.
Where are we going?
A show in St. Paul, it's some really shitty band from Iowa...
but it's live. You need to see that.
I'm trying to poach their drummer, too.
You know, my Nana is getting suspicious.
I'll have to tell her...
...that your bike got stolen...
and you were looking for it everywhere?
Yeah, that's a good idea. Fake tears won't hurt, either.

Hey, Mom. This is Sebastian.
Hi.
He's taking a long time there, huh?
Jare Bear?
Give me a few minutes!
What sort of a saleswoman are you?
I'm not a saleswoman.
Alan told me you were a saleswoman.
No, Alan just hasn't learned to say divorce.
I haven't met a divorced person before.
Tah-dah.
Your parents are still together, huh?
My parents died in a plane crash.
For real?
Jesus.
Do you get to visit them very often?
I used to... sometimes.
But it wasn't good for Jared, so I stopped.
Why wouldn't it be good for Jared's mother to visit him?
You know, Jared vilifies his dad, but the truth is...
my husband just had to pick a patient.
Don't go in there for a while.
Thanks a lot.
What are you watching?
I don't care.
The Rash?
What?
For a band name.
No.
Wait. Say it again.
The Rash.
It's not horrible.
Really?
Yeah, I mean, it's gross, but it's not too gross.
It's like you can almost feel it. The Rash.
You can feel it start to itch on your skin.
Is that a good thing?
Yeah! People break out when they hear us.
They won't be able to handle it.
Because we're The Rash, motherfuckers!
Ow!
Don't get all cocky now just because you came up...
with the name. I'm the one who realized it was good.
Besides, that's the easy part.
The hard part is getting ready for our first gig.
What's a gig?
A gig is a show. So, in a couple weeks...
we're gonna play the church talent show.
We can't perform in a couple of weeks.
Of course, we can.
I can't learn a song that fast.
Yeah, you can, after we write one, just come to my house...
tomorrow and we'll do like a serious rehearsal.
I don't think I can.
Instead of worrying and being a pussy, why don't you just say...
"Shit yeah, Jared, I'll see you at practice tomorrow at 1:00."
Jared, I just don't...
Come on, say it.
Say "Shit yeah, Jared."
Come on.
Say it for real.
Shit yeah, Jared.
That was good.
Please forgive me, Nana. Someone stole my bike.
I had to return the paint and the paint brushes.
I needed money for a taxi to aid my pursuit.
There, there, it'll be all right.
Um, but I do have some unfortunate news.
The Dymaxion map is costing more than was projected.
So, we'll give it a break?
No, not exactly.
Welcome to the future.
Dear Jared, unfortunately...
I will be unable to attend rehearsal tomorrow.
Nana has decided to expand my role at the dome...
to include guiding tours.
A beacon of hope for the future...
called the House of Tomorrow.
Josephine and her grandson Sebastian...
keep Fuller's ideas alive with their home.
And believe that if mankind is to survive...
we must all learn to live together...
and share what Spaceship Earth provides.
She says that guiding tours...
might be how I'm going to change the world.
And that one day, I'll be running...
the Buckminster Fuller Institute of Minnesota.
I'm not so sure about that.
I know this impedes our work as The Rash...
but I hope to see you soon.
Regards, Sebastian Prendergast.
Sebastian, if you prefer being some...
Stockholm Syndrome case that listens to fucking...
whale sounds for the rest of your life...
instead of playing in an awesome band, then be my guest.
Okay, looking good, buddy.
Just don't expect me to be there for you...
when you realize you missed out on something great.
P.S. Don't e-mail me anymore. I won't write back.
P.P.S. Fuck you.
You know, I can tell you've really been studying...
those talking points I gave you.
Five visitors and they were all very impressed.
You have a marvelous way with people, just like Bucky did.
Thank you.
Jared? Jared?
I just wanted to know if you got some good sleep last night.
Yeah, it was fine.
Uh, how many hours?
Um, I was sleeping, so I didn't count.
You got me. You have an idea?
No, can we just not talk about this now?
Okay, I just want to be sure to log it.
It's important that we remember these things.
Jesus fucking Christ!
How many hours?
Probably seven... okay?
Thank you.
Hope for the future is on the horizon...
an endorsement from the North Branch Courier would mean a lot.
She didn't come right out and say it...
but I think we're gonna have a cover story.
What's this?
It's grilled cheese... and ketchup.
But why are we having this?
To try something different.
But it's white bread. Are we all out of the sprouted flax?
And that's not cashew cheese?
It's real, Nana. It has protein. You can give it a try.
That's all chemicals, Sebastian, that's not food.
Let me whip you up some quinoa and carrots.
What is wrong with you?
What is wrong with you, Nana?!
Why can't you just eat a sandwich?
Why do you have to be so fucking crazy?
Sebastian! Sebastian!

Agh! Get off me!
Jared, get out!
- Kick him in the dick! - No.
Kick him in the dick!
Help me, motherfucker! Help me.
Stop it!
Hey!
What are you guys doing?
We're kicking your ass!
Agh, shit.
You assholes stretched my shirt.
I want to reunite the band.
What band? We're done.
What the heck is going on up here!? Who are you?
I'm Alec.
Jared?
Hold on a minute.
I think I'm having a rejection.
I haven't been taking my medicine.
What? What do you mean? Today?
Fuck.
Can I help?
Fuck off!
Why are you so mean to him?
What did you just ask me?
Why are you so mean to your brother?
He's your family.
I know you think you're king of the universe...
because you live this oddball life and my brother finds you...
amusing, but I've known him for 16 years...
and you've known him for weeks.
What are you saying?
I piss him off, because that's what he likes.
I piss him off, because that's how it's always been...
and if I started being his best friend now...
he would know it was because of the operation.
I play my part in making him think that something is still...
normal, so don't tell me I'm making things worse for him.
My dad treats him like a five-year-old...
and I know that's not right.
My mom isn't here, and I know that's not right.
So I'm trying something different.
I'm treating him like the irritating...
little shit that he is.
What'd they say?
We'll know more in a couple hours.
I'm sorry, Mr. Whitcomb.
I didn't intend for any of this to happen.
Of course, just like you never intended to steal...
an instrument from the church.
Here's some cab fare, son.
Jared just needs family here.
We've been... slandered.
Nana, what are you doing?
What do you mean slandered?
Here... read this.
No, I can get up myself.
I don't need help. Don't...
See?
Read it.
'When this planet is too normal for you...
'why not move to your own?
'Area eccentric Josephine Prendergast is doing just that''

Where did you run off to?
I was with my friends.
Friends... okay.
Your friends.
What are you doing?
We need to talk about this.
You're inebriated.
And you're a liar.
I'm sorry.
Just leave me alone!
Please, Nana!
I said leave me alone!

Good morning.
Let's get in, I'll get your shoes off.
Hey, guys, look who it is.
It's a real party vibe in here.
He's on just a little morphine.
I'm on a lot of morphine.
Could one of you guys give me a hand, please?
Not it.
Fuck you, Meredith.
Just take him upstairs, Sebastian.
Hey, bud, yeah.
No, I'm not mad. I just don't like talking to you...
when you're drinking.
Okay, I'll tell him.
Yeah, I promise.
I'll let you know how he's feeling tomorrow.
Do whatever you want.
Goodnight.
Hey, uh, I just wanted to thank you for letting me stay here.
It's okay.
I'm really sorry about stealing the bass guitar from church.
It's a dad's destiny to be lied to.
I didn't know you smoked.
They're Jared's. I confiscated them.
What's that?
That's a dad bomb, you're gonna start studying one hour per day.
Next week it goes up to two hours.
But, I just got home from the hospital.
Do you really want to fall back an entire grade...
after everything you've been through?
Is this geometry?
Very good, Discovering Geometry, an Investigative Approach.
Dad, I don't know how to do this.
You already started.
No, I don't know how to do this.
That's what the book is for.
No, but in school you have teachers...
they teach you this stuff.
I can't just learn from a book.
Okay, well...
I could teach him.
Geodesic domes, they're wonders of geometry.
They're based on a shape called an icosahedron.
It's actually a 20-sided polyhedron...
each side being made up of an equilateral triangle.
I've solved all the questions in that book.
Iconohedrons, they're super fun, I remember this.
You can't do the work for him.
You teach, but he has to solve the problems.
And you need to stay focused.
We'll get through all of it...
but we'll need something from you.
Is that right?
Yeah, we're gonna need time to rehearse.
For what?
For the youth group talent show.
You can practice, but I can't promise I'll let you play.
And studying comes first.
What are we pissed about?
Well, I'm not pissed.
Yes, you are! You don't have a house. Your Nana dogged you.
I know, but I'm hurt, I'm not pissed.
Well, punk isn't about hurt, that's for country.
Punk is about not giving a shit, and being angry...
and doing what you want, and living your own life...
and being a shit-head, but like, you know, a great shit-head.
All right, then, um, what about school...
the school your dad wants you to go to?
What about it? It sucks hard.
Then let's inform people why it sucks.
Bucky had this process he called sorting.
He used it to corral relevant information in order to make...
a more pointed statement.
In our case, about school.
Okay, so what would we do?
We need relevant, kind of specific thoughts only.
Specifically? School is really, really, really stupid.
Stupid... stupid school, stupid school.
That's it. That's the title. That's perfect.
How do you know a good title?
Well, I did some research, and it's just like that song...
by the Replacements. You know, 'Fuck School'?
But obviously we can't utter that word at your church.
It's simple, precise.
Okay, well, we can try it, if you want.
Yeah.
Do you remember the beginning we wrote, that intro thing?
Yeah.
F?
Yeah.
So...
♪ Dad's taking me to stupid school ♪

No, then whatever...
and then we'll just figure something out from there.
You know how to do this... how to compose songs.
Well, it's not even a real song yet.
Jared, you have an immense musical talent.
Thanks.
Hi, Mrs. Prendergast, Alan calling again, Alan Whitcomb.
Uh, trying to reach you about your grandson Sebastian...
who's living on my couch.
Call me anytime.
- Bye. Bye. - Bye-bye.
- Stop looking at my sister. - Stop it.
Proprietary patended technology...
it provides this fine mist instantly.
There's no waiting for water to boil. No mess, no fuss.
You'll see the steam is there in one second.
You place the mask over your nose and mouth...
And breathe...
and you get 100 percent humidity that you need...
right where you need it.
Why are you watching this?
Um, I don't know... it's TV.
You're so weird.
Hello?
Hello! Mrs. Prendergast? It's Alan Whitcomb!
Hello?
Hello.
Hello?
That's close enough.
Ms. Prendergast?
Speak into the panel to the left of the window.
I'll be able to hear you.
If the tour had gone on a little longer...
I'd have taught the kids about our echo spots where you can...
practically whisper and be heard all over the dome.
Sebastian and I have always used them for an intercom.
That's really something.
So did you come to tell me what an awful person I am?
I leave the judgment to God.
Oh, yeah, I forgot, you talk to him every day, right?
Hey, I'm the one taking care of your kid.
Or corrupting him.
I'm sorry, but you can't keep him locked up from the world.
It's just so... when I'm gone, he'll have no one.
Or maybe you're just worried about what you'd do without him.
You got all of these right.
Damn straight, I did.
Come in.
Where've you been all day?
Errands, and I visited Sebastian's grandmother.
You went to my house?
I did. She wants you to come home.
I think you need to talk with her.
But we have the show Friday.
I said you could practice. I never promised you could play.
Okay, but, we've been studying.
I've been doing exactly what you asked.
You have to understand...
I'm making the decisions of a doctor, not just a father.
Okay, Dad, we just want to play one song, that's it.
Only one song, right?
You could get overworked.
Your heart may not be able to take it.
Why don't you let me decide what my heart can handle?!
Let's breathe. Let's talk about this.
Yeah, let's talk about this!
Let's talk about the fact that I might just have ten years...
left on this thing and you won't even let me play...
a lame-ass church talent show!
I know this means a lot to you, but the answer is no.
Get the fuck out of my room! Fuck you!
We could always just sneak out.
No, he'd know we were going to the talent show.
We're fucked.
There's always next time.
Yeah, but what if there isn't?
Dude, you think I want to play at a church?
No, of course not, I want to play at fucking CBGB...
but it's not 1985, I can't do that.
You can never change things...
by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model...
that makes the existing model obsolete.
No, it's not gone.
What do you mean?
We'll just change venues.
Dear Ms. Prendergast, my name..
is Lawrence Lewis and I head the Environmental Studies...
program here at Macalester College.
I'm sorry, Nana.
I'm writing in hopes that you may be able...
to grace us with your wisdom and experience...
of all things Buckminster Fuller.
We're hosting a panel discussion on environmental...
sustainability tomorrow, and unfortunately...
we had a speaker cancel at the last minute.
We're in need of a replacement...
and would sincerely appreciate your participation.
I hope to hear from you soon. Professor Lewis.
I'm sorry you didn't get to perform tonight...
but the talent show's loss is our gain.
Sebastian, it's been real nice having you here.
We want you to come back any time. I just wanted to say that.
I will.
- You got picks? - Yeah.
- Quarter-inch cables? - Yeah.
What are you guys doing?
Please don't tell Dad.
We're playing a gag.
A gig.
Right... a gig... at the dome.
Won't your grandma totally lose it?
Probably.
Well, how are you guys gonna get there?
How many people are you expecting to show up?
I don't know. I just posted it on a few message boards.
Great, so like three punk nerds are gonna be there?
Sounds awesome.

Where are you going with all this?
To a party. Jared's playing.
Dad's letting him do that?
Not exactly.
Right.
Tell Jared have a good show.
They're not in there.
Whoa, nice hair.
Have you seen how many people are out there?
We've never had this many visitors before.
Yeah, my post must have really paid off.
You'll also notice some normal people out there.
I invited a bunch of my friends.
Thanks.
It's whatever. Have a good show. Try not to suck.
Okay, I wrote a new song, a better one.
What's it called?
I Wanna Fondle Your Tits.
That's a bit disrespectful.
To who?
To females.
No, we're guys in a band...
we're supposed to be disrespectful to girls.
That's part of our charm.

Your bass line is exactly the same, just a step above.
I wrote it.
I'm going mad up in my room I'm going mad up in my room.
I like it.
You do?
Yeah. It's... it's kind of sad.
What? No!
It's about girls ripping off their shirts. It's awesome.
Yeah, but, I'm picturing you up in your bedroom, going crazy...
imagining all these things that you can never accomplish.
I try to write a song about hooters and it turns out sad.
A lot of times these kids are just smoking weed...
in a parking lot or a back alley.
Is that supposed to be comforting?
415E, a noise disturbance, some party.
This is unit 12. Where?
Bridge Road, that dome thing.
I know... I know where that is.
Get on 35 North... go! Pl... please.
Hello, everybody. Uh, now for something very interesting.
Everybody brace yourselves for "The Rash"!
Let's go.
Jared, we're up.
Come on, we're performing.
The Rash!
You know when you asked if I was afraid of dying?
Well, I am, every day.
Th... The Rash.
You can't go on looking like that, take it off.
Take it off!
You guys coming?
What are you gonna wear?
I'm going out like Iggy.
Good evening! We are The Rash!
One, two, one, two, three, four!

North Branch Police, party is over.
Y'all can grab your stuff and leave, there'll be no hassle.
- Hey, we're not done. - Yes, you are.
Hey! Take it easy!
Get down! You cannot assault an officer!
This little shit your son?
No, he's my chronic masturbator.
Let's go! Clear out!
Fuck the police!
Hey. That was fun.
I'll see you later.
Yeah.
Something hit me very hard once...
something about what one little man can do.
Imagine a ship, it has a rudder.
And on the edge of that big rudder is a miniature rudder...
called a trim tab.
Just moving the little trim tab builds a little pressure...
pulls the big rudder around.
The little individual can be a trim tab, too.
You just put your foot out like a miniature rudder...
and the whole big ship is going to go.
So I said, "Call me Trim Tab".
He was the greatest man I ever met.
Then I made the mistake of trying to make your dad...
be just like him.
That didn't work.
He was... rebellious just like you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hit you.
I don't want to do tours anymore.
Does that mean you don't believe in Bucky's work any more?
No, I feel even more connected to him.
Bucky's career was spent fighting the establishment.
And in fighting you, I was doing exactly what he taught.
Bucky was a punk.
Well, I must say, I think he'd like that.
Well, Bucky, if you steered us into the future...
what would the future be?
Thanks, Nana.
Have a great day at school.
- Hey. - Hey.
Hey.
