[Sighs.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Morning.
Coffee? - You didn't have to do that.
- I know.
Just 'cause we've broken up doesn't mean I'm not a human being with regular feelings about coffee.
Cheers.
Oh, I ironed your ties, by the way.
They're on the ironing board.
- Yeah, yeah, I saw that.
Thanks.
I'm not gonna put one on till after I meet with Dr.
Cameron.
- Oh, the guy from university? - Yeah.
I'm walking in there asking to be part of the most left-wing building science program in the country.
I don't want to look like a complete corporate tool.
- [Laughs.]
Well, you won't, but good call.
So this is working out pretty well, huh? - Being broken up but still living together? - Yeah, and Rosemary seems happy.
I'd say it's working out pretty well.
- Till one of us starts seeing somebody else, I suppose.
- Why? Are you seeing someone else? - No, not not really.
A-are you? - No.
Yeah, I mean, Rosemary's my first priority, so - Mine too, mine too.

- Thank you for the coffee.
- What? - Yeah, got to shower.
Avalanche! Save yourself.
Bye.
[Door closes.]
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
You got to tell him.
Who do I have to tell? Todd.
You have to tell Todd.
What do I have to tell Todd? You have to tell Todd you just slept with Miles.
Why? Because you are not a slut.
[Exhales deeply.]
Okay.
Copy that.
- Who are you talking to? - Nobody.
- hey.
Someone is up early.
- Someone never went to sleep.
I finished.
- What? You did? No, get out.
Really? Nice! - What'd you finish? - My book.
- What book? - Ugh, don't mind him.
He lives in a cave.
Sophia has been writing and apparently has finished her first book.
It's about all of us and our flaws.
- Cool.
- And gifts and challenges.
- Cool.
- Yeah, and now it's all set up online ready to be self-published by Myself.
- Yay! - All right, way to go, soph.
Way to go.
- Thank you.
I've proofed it twice.
I have formatted the title page.
I've paid the fee.
I'm one step from being a self-published author.
- Yay! [Drums table.]
- Let's throw a party.
- No.
- Yes.
- Yeah, you just finished a book, your first book.
You should throw a party.
- What kind of party? - Oh, I don't know, like, a self-publication party.
We should just get together tonight and celebrate.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Um, no.
- Party town.
- Get 'er done.
- Okay.
- Yes! Whoo! - Unfame and unfortune, here I come.
- Sophia, Sophia.
Sophia, Sophia.
[Cheering.]
- There it is! Good girl! - Boom! - Sent.
Not the lofty heights I'd hoped of, but it's a start.
- You did it! - Thanks for meeting me.
- Of course.
You're my boyfriend.
You don't have to thank me for, like, normal girlfriend stuff.
I'm an all-inclusive resort.
- First, I want to say, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have let Miles get to me.
I should have just walked away.
One of the benefits of dating an older man ought to be that he's more mature than boys your age.
- Yeah, that's true.
- The thing was, Daphne, he was misunderstanding the situation at the strip club - Was he? Because - Yeah, completely.
- 'Cause he made it sound like you were kind of all up in the strippers, which - Daphne, I would never do anything that could come between you and me.
I've come too far to get this close to you.
I wouldn't screw it up.
- Um Todd - Listen - No, listen, I - Come live with me.
- Live with you? - Yeah.
Come live with me.
I want to see you when I wake up in the morning.
I want to see you when I go to bed, and two days out of seven, I want to see you the rest of the time.
- Um Houston, we have a problem.
- Talk to me.
- I slept with Miles last night.
- How's your cheesy bread? - Did you hear what I just said? - Yeah, you slept with Miles.
Is it super cheesy or more like a flatbread, because I like You slept with Miles? - Yes! - Oh, my God! - I know, right? - Oh, my God.
Um, hang on.
You are going out with Todd.
- Duh! So I just went to see him, to tell him that I slept with Miles, and he apologized to me for hitting Miles And he asked me to move in with him.
- Powerful moves.
- [Sighs.]
I know.
- But now you're stuck between Todd and Miles like a turtle between two walruses.
- Um, excuse me? - Oh, in between writing last night, I got sucked down a hole on YouTube watching nature videos.
Life is so gross.
- I am aware.
So what should I do? - Have you read my book yet? I really want to know what y think about it.
- What book? - M-my book.
I published it online.
I sent you a link this morning.
- Oh, my God! Congratulations.
I'm so proud of you.
- Thank you.
- I will read it just as soon as I'm finished breaking the land-speed record for whoring.
So what should I do? - Slow your roll.
- Meaning? - Meaning breathe deeply.
You're desired by a number of suitable mates.
It's not bad news.
- Okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
- Bye! - Super cheesy.
- Mm! Sir, you've got yourself a party.
- So? - I don't want to talk about it.
- You just had sex, and you don't want to talk about it? - Yeah.
- Oh, dude, you're in lo - I said I don't want to talk about it.
- Because you're in love.
- I am in love, dude.
I don't know what to do.
What do you think I should do? - Oh, man, this is great.
- What should I do? - What is there to do? - She ran out of our place this morning like it was on fire.
- To go where? - To Todd's.
- He is her boyfriend.
- Hey! Are you on my side or his? - Yours, yours.
Relax.
- Maybe I should shave my head.
- Why the hell would you do that? - I don't know, but it's a zen move.
It may appear to have nothing to do with the situation, but it's a complete game-changer Shaved head.
Plus, it's not a bad look on me.
- Dude, all you have to do is tell her how you feel.
Tell her you're there for her, and you're ready to be with her.
Man up.
- Don't tell me to man up.
- Miles, Miles, I'm a father With a little girl that's gonna be running around the world one day at the mercy of dudes like us.
Tell her how you feel.
Tell her where you want to go and ask her to come with you Now.
- This is life.
This is what it's all about.
- Take it from someone who's already screwed up once and wishes he hadn't.
This is what it's all about.
This is everything.
You want her? - Yeah.
- Go get her while there's still time.
Go get her.
- Damn it.
- So What do you think? - Well, I think this place is incredible.
I noticed that you guys don't use autocad? - Not to start with.
First-year students do a whole semester of drafting and model-making before they ever get into cad.
Listen, Lou, I'd love to have you here.
A lot of the students come in here, some with the brains, some with the spirit, some can talk about design like they're visionaries, but they can't draw.
You have it all Or at least the making of it all.
- Thank you.
- But most of these kids, Lou, they're here 15 hours a day.
The idea that you're gonna balance the demands of this program with a job - I did a double major at Roosevelt, environmental design and philosophy, while holding down two part-time jobs.
- I read your transcripts.
- I'm sorry, but I've got a baby to support, and I've got to pay for her mother too, but I can do this.
I can.
- There's no way you can put the work aside, just do the program? - Not without going into a crap-ton of debt.
- Look, I'd like to be able to tell you that it is possible to do both, but I can't.
I can't accept you into the program.
Sorry.
- Describe your ideal sperm donor.
- He'd have to be smart.
- Obviously.
- Ethnically, I'd want a mix You know, child of the earth.
- Okay.
- It'd be great if he was charge of stuff, you know? A community organizer, maybe part Kenyan.
But he'd have to have ties to Chicago.
- Soph.
- What? - Kanye west is not gonna be your sperm donor.
[Rosemary fusses.]
- You think? - Never.
- Hmm, well, I'll just have to settle for Obama.
Good night, Rosemary.
- Hey, daph.
- Hey.
- Can we talk before the meeting? - Uh, no, it's kind of now.
- Can we talk after? - About what? - Last night, today, the future.
- Miles - You don't want to talk about the future? - I just I can't do this right now, okay? I have worked for three months We have both worked for three months to get this crazy idea of putting you in Japan in front of Keith, and we're finally gonna get to pitch him.
- But - Let's just do our work.
Okay? - The future? - Miles Let's do our work.
- The future? - So can I get you two anything Water, coffee, mashed peas? - [Laughs.]
Yeah, I-I-I bring her with me almost everywhere I go.
I hope that's okay.
- I've been working with bands for 20 years, so I'm used to vomit, crap, and crying.
Just let me know if you're gonna feed it in front of me.
- Got it.
- So I like that song The last one you sang the other night.
- Message.
- Yeah.
There's this Artist, pixie Dexter, that I've been working with, and I think that your song would be great For her.
- For h-her? Yeah.
- See, my thought was I would sing it.
Nope.
You want to make a call, have your limo come around and pick you up? - Uh, no, no, I-I just - You know, there are a lot of great singers who got their start as songwriters writing songs for other people.
It's not crazy.
- I hear that.
- So my thought was Let's get you in the studio with pixie Play around with it, see if it's a good fit.
- So So you want to record my song? Potentially.
- With this Dixie chick, whatever, singing it? Pixie.
Yeah.
That's the plan.
How's the promotion working out? - Not too bad.
When my dad hires a new communications director, I figure it'll get certifiably hairy, but for now, I'm just trying to stay under the radar.
- [Chuckles.]
Very wise.
It took me two years on cubicle island to learn to really take advantage of these moments when the system breaks down.
You're a quick study.
- Thanks.
What are you doing tonight? - Oh, uh, my friend Sophia just published her book online.
We're all gonna go out and celebrate.
You want to come? Will raviva be there? - Yeah, yeah.
It's not a big deal.
Just come it'll be fun.
- Okay.
[Whispering.]
Stay low.
[Whispering.]
You too.
- [Chuckles.]
I've seen the falling down and the rising the spinning and the surprising patterns the streaming and the disguising of a simple message of a simple message God, I-I adore that like crazy.
- [Chuckles.]
Yeah? - It's so meaningful.
What's it about? Uh, it's about love.
- Wow.
- What? It just got twice as meaningful.
- [Chuckles.]
Yeah, it's about, um How everything in the universe is love expressing itself in different ways - Totally.
- And how sometimes all the different ys and different people can make it kind of Complicated and hard to see.
But then other times, all at once, it just You know, becomes clear.
So love is is the simple message? - Yeah.
Yeah, love is the simple message.
- God, you're a life force.
[Laughs.]
- I love you! Can you sing the channel again? Uh, yeah, yeah, totally.
I've seen the falling down - the falling down - and the rising the spinning and - the spinning and - the surprising patterns the streaming and - the streaming and - the disguisg - both: of a simple message of a simple message of a simple message it's just a simple message - yeah.
- Cool, right? - Yeah.
- [Laughs.]
Okay, let's try it again.
- Okay.
- What's the one place you think of when you think of Tequila? - Mexico.
- Close.
- New Mexico.
- Japan.
- Japan? - Mm-hmm.
- Japan.
- Is this your idea? - Yes! - Okay, go on.
- We want to send Miles and a two-man camera crew to Japan and set them loose Introduce the little women of Japan, one-on-one, one by one, to the rich, smooth, sexy, empowering flavor of madura.
- Yeah, we'll post the content on the madura website every day.
So it'll be like half travelogue, half commercial.
- It'll be funny as hell! You think this is funny? - Hai! I was saying "yes" in Japanese.
Huh.
It kind of doesn't make sense.
- Oh, well, that's what makes it a really good idea for a viral campaign.
Consumers today are super sophisticated when it comes to advertising.
They don't want to be sold anything.
They just want to feel, or they want to laugh.
More than anything, they want to feel smart.
The fact that Japan is such a non sequitur in relation to Tequila is gonna make people feel cool.
Like, "most people wouldn't get this whole Japan-Tequila thing, but I do.
" What do you think? - Well, I'm I'm a regular guy who enjoys being online late at night, and I think I know what you're going for.
- If you think it's expensive, it isn't.
We can show you the numbers.
- No, no, that's not the problem.
It's just I don't get it.
Oh, well, that's kind of the point.
- Well, here's the good news.
I don't have to be right.
I just have to say what I think and spend my money where I want to spend it.
- Well, we can't gue with that.
Well, we could argue if we were given a chance.
- Glover.
Daphne, it's a dumb idea.
- It is a really good idea.
- Stop it! Do you think it's a good idea? - Hai! I don't like it.
- Don't.
Uh, it's okay.
We'll come up with something else.
Listen, "e" for effort.
It's just not madura.
But come up with 10 or 12 new ideas, invite me out again, and run them by me.
"Open to options," as you both know, is my middle name.
- I'll see what I can do.
- Good girl.
Miles.
- Yeah? - Chicago loves you.
[Laughs.]
- I've been talking to Deb, and we'd like you to do twice as many tastings a month.
- For twice the money? - Same money.
It's all good.
[Clicks tongue.]
- [Sighs.]
I'm sorry.
- It was a good idea.
- I know.
I really, really, really, really wanted to do that.
- Maybe it's not all bad.
It's kind of all bad.
- Look, I really wasn't looking forward to going one-on-one with all those geishas.
I-I want to stay here with you.
- Miles, look No, daph.
Ever since I ran away from all the crap with my dad, I've been looking for a home.
Every girl I've ever been with, I've been looking for a home Not not someone to take care of me, somewhere to be And someone to be with.
And last night when I looked in your eyes, I found it.
I saw where I belonged.
I belong where you can see me.
I belong with you.
Break up with Todd.
Be with me.
Daph I love you.
Houston, we have another problem.
- What's happened now? Miles said he loves me and that he's at home in my eyes.
- Home in your eyes? Trust me, when he said it, it made sense In my lady parts, anyway.
You live more in a day than I live.
- What am I gonna do? Have you looked at my book yet? - Sophia, I've been working.
I have barely had time to breathe.
When was I gonna read your book? Okay, okay, I just - What? - Nothing.
Look, you have all these guys creating all these tornadoes inside of you with their fancy words and their offers of this and that.
You you have to get back to you.
Just sit still.
- [Scoffs.]
I can't sit still.
Sit still until you remember that this is your life, Daphne, not theirs.
There's no rush, and there's no wrong answer.
You cannot make a mistake.
What would I ever do without you? - What would I ever do without you? - Bye.
- Bye.
Look at my book Please.
So pixie adores you.
Pixies adores the song.
I'd say it's a home run.
[Chuckles.]
The crowd goes wild.
- Here.
What's this? - A contract.
[Pen clicks.]
Sign it, and we're in business.
- Oh, wait.
Why does it say "cowriter"? Just a boilerplate contract.
- Right, but I-I think I'm understanding this.
I'm not a cowriter.
I'm the writer no "co.
" Right? Mm, I mean, you worked on the song with pixie.
- I played it for her.
She added something, right? She told me she did In the channel.
It was it was, like, a-a little part - Look, I'm not gonna sit here and argue what constitutes composition with somebody who brings their baby to work.
I'm offering you an opportunity with the promise of more.
It's a cowrite with pixie, or it's Nothing.
That is the gig.
And I'm being clear with you, because I know you appreciate that kind of thing.
You're right.
I do.
So let me be equally clear with you.
It's my song.
And I already gave up the chance to sing it, and look where it got me.
So, no.
Me and my baby are going home.
Maybe you and Dixie can write a song about that.
It's pixie.
- Be honest.
Do you hate my guts? Why would I hate your guts? - Well, I do call your character "a happy, handsome animal.
" - I know.
- And I depict him as lacking most of the self-awareness that makes us human.
- I know.
I like it.
- I suggest that he could ultimately end up sad and alone.
Yeah, but that's not my issue, soph.
It's yours.
[Snaps fingers.]
Good job.
I like it.
So Did you tell your parents yet? - About the book? No.
It seems like they'd want to know.
- Miles, I came out to them, and they cut me off.
- You kind of cut them off too.
- Yeah, to say nothing of the fact that if they were to read half of what I wrote in that book, they'd be even more convinced that I'd be going to hell.
- Oh, come on.
What? - Nothing.
It's just - What? It just seems like you should at least call and tell them something or email them.
[Sighs.]
No.
- Okay.
Did Daphne tell you what happened? - About last night? Yeah.
So what should I do? I don't want to lose her.
What do you think I should do? You got to give her time.
Miles, if you and daph belong together, it'll all settle into place.
So just give her some time.
Time's the worst.
- "Chapter four, 'Daphne.
'" Nice.
"One thing you learn early on in life is that there are people, and then there are people Larger-than-life individuals who make even the smallest ordinary moments feel huge and magical.
Daphne glover was a person like that.
" Aw.
"But if there was one element of Daphne's life that was conspicuously unmagical, it was her dealings with men.
To see her turn herself into such a common lump of semi-slutty girl meat every time a man looked at her was enough to make anyone stop beliing in anything.
Daphne glover was a beautiful waste A walking, talking missed opportunity A beautiful asteroid floating from galaxy to galaxy forever in search of new men to orbit A broken piece of person looking for a home.
" Whamp.
Soph, this place is perfect.
- Right? - I'm so proud of you! Thank you, guys.
Obviously, I couldn't have done it without you, so thank you.
To Sophia.
- Yeah, to Sophia! Sophia.
Both: Sophia! - [Shouting wildly.]
- I read your book.
Oh.
- I really, really dug it.
- Thank you.
Uh, I'm a style blogger for nylon.
Can I take your picture, and i'll post a link to your site? - Yes, uh, that would be awesome.
[Laughs.]
[Camera shutter clicks.]
- I read it.
Yeah? - Kind of a chick vibe.
- Well, uh, yeah, I mean, I am one.
- No, I mean, I liked it.
- Oh.
Bridget Jones's diary is my favorite book.
- Very cool.
- So, soph, I read the part you wrote about me.
- Oh.
- No, no, it's good.
It's good.
The part where you said I ta lot about complexity when I really mean compromise - Yeah? - I thought that was fair.
When you start paying attention to the system, you risk missing the little moves of the individual that make up integrity and honor.
I get it.
- Dude, you have to get back to school.
I mean, how do you live in this world with us? - [Giggles.]
- How did it go at university? - It's complicated.
We'll talk.
- Have any of you heard from Daphne? - She's still at work.
- Oh, isn't that your hookup from last night? - Mm-hmm.
- You guys are, like, a thing now? - No, I don't think so.
- Why? What's wrong with her? - Nothing.
Nothing.
I just I just don't really feel like having a thing right now, so Wish me luck.
- Good luck.
- Good luck.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm gonna go take a leak.
- Yeah, I got to, um, you know, grab - Me too.
- Okay, cool, cool.
Yeah, I'll I'll save the table.
Yeah.
Really? - Hey! - You made it.
- Like I wouldn't.
Get real.
Oh, I have been playing last night in my mind all day.
Haven't you? - Yeah.
- Uh, what are you doing after? - After this? - Mm-hmm.
- Um, no plans yet.
- Huh.
Well, if you want to come over to my place, we can have a little private party for the author? - Uh, you know, I think that I should probably just stick with my crew tonight.
- Oh.
- But thank you.
- Okay, no problem.
Um, another time maybe.
- Definitely.
- But, really Congratulations.
- Thank you.
See you around.
- She doesn't make you seem hot enough.
- You don't think? - No, I mean, do you know how sexy it is that you're a dad? Nobody else around here seems to get it.
- Oh.
How how sexy is it? - I mean, this pixie chick did virtually nothing.
She sang a little backup.
Two shiner bocks, please.
- You got it.
- Is that industry standard Backup singers are composers now? - No, but You could compromise just a little bit Just this once.
Sell half your song and take advantage of the situation that you're already in.
- I don't like that.
- Then you're not gonna get anywhere, at least not with that guy.
- Oh, yeah? Watch me.
- Here you go two shiner bocks.
- Thank you.
Thanks.
- Yeah.
- Wait.
Did you want a shiner bock? - Nope.
- [Scoffs.]
I'm kind of a pain in the ass.
- Yep.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- Hi.
- Uh, if it's all right with you, after Sophia's reading, we're gonna go get Rosemary from your mom's and head home.
- Yeah.
Yeah, sure.
Um, I guess I'll just, uh, spend the night at jamel's, then If that's okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Have fun, guys.
- Good night.
- See you.
- Okay, everybody, everybody! Listen up.
Hi.
How's it going? I'm Miles.
Um, I'm a friend of the author's and also the inspiration for the character of Miles.
[Cheers and applause.]
Ladies and gentlemen, the beautiful, the talented, the only, Sophia Swanson.
[Cheers and applause.]
- Yay! - She's the next Helen fielding.
- Thank you.
Uh [Clears throat.]
Thank you.
Thank you.
- All: Speech! Speech! Speech! - Um, before I read a short chapter from my book don't worry, it won't take too long Um, I just want to say I feel really grateful that all of you could make it here.
Um, I also feel pretty humble that I'm standing up here, because whatever I've achieved with this book, it really is just the sum total of what my friends have achieved with their lives.
I took a sort of documentary approach to the material [Camera beeps, shutter clicks.]
Which [Voice cracking.]
Uh, makes the issue of authorship kind of complex.
[Clears throat.]
Hang on.
[Crowd murmuring.]
Hi.
You made it! Daph.
- I'm in the middle of one of the hardest days of my life.
I'm on the verge of screwing up two relationships with two people that I really care about.
And I kind of hate myself right now, but that's that's not even the worst part.
The worst part is that I'm all alone, because I don't have anyone to talk to because I don't trust you anymore.
- Are you Daphne? - Yeah, I'm Daphne.
- Bye, guys.
- Yeah, bye.
- Bye.
- Have a good night.
- Oh, she's still not answering her phone.
- It's okay.
She'll call when she's ready, babe.
It's all gonna be okay.
- Stop saying that! - Soph! - Whoa.
- I'm sorry.
I don't mean to be rude.
I just I really, really hate it when people keep saying that things are gonna be okay.
Well, it's not gonna be okay.
It's gonna be terrible.
From this moment on, things will never, ever, ever be the same.
- [Giggles.]
- Thank you.
- I used to think that all my love was wasted lose something good you can't replace it I didn't know the truth until I heard you say it's all right it's all right woman, look what you've done to me woman, look what you've done for the first time I can feel my eyes opening yeah, woman look what you've done - She basically said there's no me.
[Sighs.]
I hate it so much.
- But it's not true.
- Are you sure about that? 'Cause I'm not.
- Daphne, I don't know Sophia, obviously, but she's probably just jealous.
And in the writing, she blew it out of proportion for I don't know dramatic effect.
- Maybe.
But maybe she's also right.
- She's not.
- My whole life, Todd, my whole life, all I ever think about is, "who am I gonna be with? Who am I gonna be with? How can I not be alone?" It's it's like a sickness.
- That's not sick, daph.
That's just being human.
- No.
There are people There are! There there are people that are just cool and Solid Just unto themselves.
And they're not always zipping back and forth from person to person.
- Daphne - Todd? - Is there something you're not telling me? - What? - The thing you just said about zipping from one person to another Is there something you're not telling me? [Cell phone rings.]
- Hang on.
It's it's my dad.
[Sniffles.]
Hey, daddy.
- What happened? What is it? - [Sobs.]
Oh, my God! - Daphne, what happened? - [Sobbing.]
- Just start talking, aeming and shotting things.
- Hey.
This is Sophia Swanson, I'm gonna be on your team today.
- Sophia? No girls! - "No girls"? That's, like, wrong.
- Rules are rules.
You can play if you send me a pic of your boobs.
- Uh, really? You can play if you send me a pic of your nut sack.
- Wait, wait, wait, soph.
Do you really want to see his nut sack? - Boobs or g.
T.
F.
O.
- You can play if you send me a pic of your mother's boobs! - I'll go get her.
- Welcome to the jungle.
[Woman speaking indistinctly on television.]
- Hey.
- Hey.
Good night? - Yeah.
You? - Yeah.
- [Sighs.]
So Miles and daph, huh? - Yeah.
- That was never not gonna happen.
- No, it wasn't.
- [Sighs deeply.]
Oh, man.
Remember when we were all just friends Before even you and I got together, freshman year? - Yeah.
- That was awesome.
Being friends is awesome Not all tangled and the strangeness that comes with frickin' romance.
- Isn't it? I don't think there's much difference between one of our fights and what went down with soph and daph last night.
I think if you stick around to really get to know anybody, it gets complicated.
- Hmm.
So what happened with Cameron? You said you'd tell me.
- Yeah.
Yeah, he won't let me into the program.
He says I can't do the job and the course work at the same time not enough hours in the day.
- Is he right? - I don't think so.
- So you should tell him that.
- He's kind of made up his mind.
- Look, I know this is coming from a really weird Ex-couple place right now, but I love you, Lou.
And I fell in love with you once, and the guy I fell in love with was that frickin' madman who wouldn't shut up about hydrofracking when the governor came to speak at the school and the guy who challenged the head of the young Republicans to a one-on-one fistfight for control over the student council.
Lou, you deserve to be in that program.
Truth.
[Sighs.]
- Where are you, daph? - Daph! - [Cries.]
- Are you okay? - No.
- Where have you been? - My dad's - Why? What happened? Daphne? What happened? - [Cries.]
My father is dead! [Cring.]
