1:00:02
- About what?
- Well, why did you guys give me up?

1:00:06
Why did we give him away?
1:00:08
- The big question.
- That's the question.

1:00:10
Well, Fritz Boudreau said
that you were indisposed...

1:00:13
and so that's how he came
to bring Mel to the agency.

1:00:15
- ''Indisposed''? Is that what he said?
- Yeah, indisp--

1:00:17
- That's the word Fritz used?
- That's-- That would have been nice.
- Big word for the fellow, huh?

1:00:21
- I wouldn't mind being indisposed.
- Okay, I'm gonna tell the story.

1:00:24
Um, how, how much detail
do you have to go into here?

1:00:28
I want Mel to know what happened, or
he'll never believe we cared about him.

1:00:31
- What are you hanging onto that for?
- You're holding onto it.

1:00:34
- I'm not holding onto anything.
- I'm letting it go.
- Uh, you're holding onto these things.

1:00:37
Uh, tell him. Go ahead, tell him.
I don't care. Go ahead.

1:00:40
So, Mel, you know we were
living in San Francisco,
and it was the mid '60s, right?

1:00:43
- Uh-huh, yeah.
- And we were part of a very
progressive group of artists...

1:00:47
- and there was one band
at the centre of it.
- A band? Wh-Wh-What band?

1:00:52
Jerry Garcia, blah, blah, blah.
1:00:55
I am so sick of this fucking story!
1:00:57
It's so boring! You've been
telling it for years! Give it up!

1:01:06
- He doesn't like it
when I tell this story.
- What happened with Jerry Garcia?

1:01:09
- Nothing.
- Nothing happened with Jerry Garcia,
but Richard and I went to prison--

1:01:12
-Right-- Right after you were born.
-And that's why we had to give you away.

1:01:14
- You went to prison?
- Oh, don't be stigmatized by it.

1:01:18
- It wasn't a serious crime.
- Oh, God, it was nothing.

1:01:20
- Not even a crime.
- It was absolutely nothing.

1:01:22
- Next to nothing, really.
- Less than nothing. Have you
ever, you know, like, driven...

1:01:24
a few miles over the speed limit,
or something like that?

1:01:27
- Yeah, sure.
- It was less than that.

1:01:29
If you speed, y-you know,
you could hurt somebody.

1:01:31
- This is--
- So, were you-- you
were jailed for driving?

1:01:33
- No, no, no. No, there
was no driving. I tried--
- How did they get that?

1:01:36
I'm, I'm, I'm, uh--
I'm sorry, I'm totally lost here.

1:01:45
- Hi.
- Hi.

1:01:47
- Here, I'll get out of your way. Aah!
- Ooh.

1:01:50
- What are you doing?
- Oh, I don't know. What did I do?

1:01:52
- Oh, no, no. It's okay. Relax. Relax.
- No, watch out. You--

1:01:55
- I-- You could hurt your fingers.
- Watch how you--

1:01:57
- Whoops.
- Sh--
