“I want to play myself.”

“Bill, that’s not gonna happen.”

“Gimme one of them computer facelifts.”

“Even if it made any sense, we don’t have the money for that.”

“Little makeup, I can still pass for 30.”

“You couldn’t pass for 30 when you were 30, Bill.”

“Fine. Then I want the pretty kid to play me.”

“Meyers?”

“Is that his name?”

“Yes. His name is Josh Meyers.”

“Whatever. Yeah: him. He should play me.”

“If he’s gonna play anyone, he’s gonna play me, and he’s not doing that. The kid isn’t in the picture.”

“He knows how to drum. I’ll give him some lessons.”

“Where did this idea come from?”

“Kid promised me half his salary if I gave him the job. Really wants to be an actor.”

“No. And please stop accepting kickbacks.”

“Never.”

“Kreutzmann, we’re getting a real actor and that’s it.”

“Well, at least let me pick him.”

“The casting director picks people.”

“Okay, I’ll be that.”

“What?”

“The casting director. What does it pay?”

“You just want a check out of this, don’t you?”

“How long you know me?”

“Sure.”

“Let me play you in the TV show.”

“Can we talk about this later, Josh?”

“Now is good. I can do two things at once.”

“You can’t play me.”

“Butt-chin!”

“I don’t have a butt-chin, Josh, I have a beard.”

“But young you didn’t.”

“No, no. I’ve always had a beard; it’s just sometimes I used to shave it off.”

“Bob, think about it: we’re both tall and handsome.”

“Oh, yeah.”

“Great hair.”

“Sure.”

“Plus, I can actually play guitar.”

“You’ve been soloing for months now.”

“And you know I’ve been taking acting lessons.”

“Well, yeah: everyone knows. I’ve been meaning to say this: you gotta stop making Oteil run lines with you. I think it makes him uncomfortable. Or at least stop doing scenes from Fences.”

“It’s an American classic!”

“Sure, but you really get into character and sometimes there’s a bit of line-straddling that I’m not sure you’re aware of. Plus you step all over his lines.”

“Just between you and me, Bob: Oteil’s not much of an actor.”

“That’s because he’s a bass player.”

“Notwithstanding. Just asking for some commitment to the craft.”

“Right, sure. Josh, you can’t be in the show.”

“Waaahhhh.”
