Lost Folder Causes Tension Among Musicians

Fletcher Jesus fucking Christ, where have you been?

Carl We have an issue.

Fletcher Okay, now is not the time.

Carl I gave Neiman the folder and Neiman lost it.

Fletcher Neiman lost it?

Carl Yes.

Fletcher The folder is your fucking responsibility, Tanner. Why would you give it to Neiman? Right? You give a calculator to a fucking retard he's gonna try to turn on a TV with it. Now get your sticks and get your ass on stage.

Carl I-- I can't.

Fletcher You can't?

Carl I-- I can't go onstage. I don't know the charts by heart.

Fletcher Are you fucking kidding me?

Carl I-- You know this. I need the music. It's my memory, I need visual cues.

[[Sanjay Gupta]

Carl I can't.

Andrew I can.

Fletcher You know "Whiplash" by heart?

Andrew Yes, sir. Every measure.

Fletcher All right. Well, you better fucking hope your memory doesn't fail you. And I hope you play it a whole lot better than you did last month in rehearsal, because I do not intend to start losing now. Get your sticks and get your fucking ass onstage. Onstage!
