Mitch: What is that noise?

Cam: Let me remind you that it's been weeks since we've had a tenant up there.

Mitch: So you rented it to a rock band?

Cam: A Christian rock band.

Mitch: Oh, good. Okay, so they're noisy and judge-y.

Cam: Shame on you and your narrow, big-city attitude. I've known many accepting people of faith.

Mitch: And I've been chased into a lake. So I guess we're both entitled to our opinion. Oh, oh, oh -- No! Okay. Guys. Absolutely not.

Coop: Come in.

Cam: Hey. This is Mitchell, and the music sounds great. Just wondering if you could turn it down a-a skosh.

Coop: Yeah, of course. We're sorry. Just giving the guy upstairs a taste of our new song.

Cam: He means God.

Mitch: Really? There's no third floor I don't know about?

Dex: We love the place, by the way. It's just scrumptious.

Mitch: Good! Good! So, you guys are a Christian rock band?

Coop: Water to Wine. Yeah, that's us.

Mitch: Well, I hope you're not expecting to bring all your groupies back here.

Coop: Don't worry. The Soldiers of the Lamb Church forbids premarital relations.

Mitch: Of course.

Coop: But I can think of a few ladies I wouldn't mind multiplying with after our elders give us their blessings.

Dex: We love girls! As long as you guys are here, I need an outsider's opinion. I'm working on a song, but these guys think it's too soft. Do you mind?

Cam: Um...lay it on us, bro.

Dex: Okay.

Coop: Aw, dang it, Dex, you're bumming me out!

Guitar Player: Whoa. Calm down, Coop. Just 'cause we're in the city doesn't mean we got to talk like it.

Coop: I'm so sorry.

Mitch: You know what, Dex, I like that song. Yeah. What's the title?

Dex: I call it "A Cry for Help."

Mitch: Did you hear that?

Cam: Yeah, I'm standing right here.
