Sunny brings him a sandwich. Sets it next to the chassis. Doesn't speak. Walks away. He doesn't look up. He smiles.

Across the warehouse — Jesse and Lou onstage. The warehouse has a small raised stage at one end, where the band rehearses. Jesse and Lou trading a guitar lick — Lou plays it, Jesse plays it back, Lou plays a variation, Jesse plays the variation back with a twist. Call and response.

- JESSE(small smile)That's the variation in fourths.
- LOUYes!
- LOUDon't explain it, Jesse. Play it.

- LOUI want you to play it like you don't know what's going to happen next.
- LOULike you're finding out at the same time as the rest of us.
