Why can’t I take lessons with you?<\/p>\n
I didn’t say you couldn’t take lessons, I said I couldn’t teach you.<\/p>\n
Why can’t you teach me?<\/p>\n
Because you don’t practice.<\/p>\n
I’m just being real. I don’t have time to practice.<\/p>\n
I’m being real too.<\/p>\n
Can’t you just show me how you do that thing?<\/p>\n
It\u00a0requires practice.<\/p>\n
Why is it so hard?<\/p>\n
It isn’t.<\/p>\n
Yes it is.<\/p>\n
What do you mean?<\/p>\n
Playing something over and over, co-ordinating your hands, remembering details, that’s hard.<\/p>\n
You know I can recommend someone else, I know a classical teacher.<\/p>\n
But I like you.<\/p>\n
But you don’t hear me.<\/p>\n
No you’re the one not\u00a0listening.<\/p>\n
How is that?<\/p>\n
I just want you to show me how you do that thing and you want me to make a commitment to practice.<\/p>\n
Right.<\/p>\n
Right.<\/p>\n
Ok I’ll show you how to do that thing.<\/p>\n
Thanks.<\/p>\n
You go like this.<\/p>\n
How did you do that?<\/p>\n
Like this.<\/p>\n
That’s hard.<\/p>\n
Do it slow.<\/p>\n
It’s crazy.<\/p>\n
Do it very very slow.<\/p>\n
Why can’t I do it like you?<\/p>\n
You can, but it doesn’t start by being able to do it exactly like me.<\/p>\n
Why not?<\/p>\n
Hey, are we in a tape loop?<\/p>\n
You think?<\/p>\n
Is it starting over again?<\/p>\n
Why can’t I take lessons with you?<\/p>\n
Shit.<\/p>\n
Wow, we did this already.<\/p>\n
A bunch.<\/p>\n
You think there is a way out?<\/p>\n
Or at least an interruption.<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
That’s what you always\u00a0say.<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
Say something different.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to study with you.<\/p>\n
Perfect.<\/p>\n
Just kidding I do.<\/p>\n
Do you want to escape eternity or not?<\/p>\n
Then agree to teach me.<\/p>\n
Unfair.<\/p>\n
In the scheme of unfair possibilities this isn’t the worst.<\/p>\n
Agreed.<\/p>\n
