Transcript

Nicole	Welcome. Take a seat.
Nicole	Er, you're probably sitting already.
Nicole	The rush hour's over, so things should be a little more low-key.
Nicole	Make yourself comfortable. There's a dusty keyboard over there, maybe you can toy around with it.
Nicole	Oh, look who it is.
Cole	Hey! I'll get my usual.
Nicole	The morning usual or afternoon usual?
Cole	Afternoon. I'm just vibing for now.
Nicole	Coming right up.
Cole	You met the intern finger too, huh? Wild.
Nicole	Yeah. I was just talking about you earlier, actually.
Cole	Really?
Nicole	Yeah, I was talking about how great the stuff on your Bandcloud is.
Cole	Woah, for real?
Cole	...nah, you're lying.
Nicole	Yeah. I'm lying.
Nicole	I've got a job already. Can't be your "pass out my mixtapes" person.
Cole	Sure you can. We're at that level of friendship, right?
Nicole	Almost. Keep workin' at it, bud.
Nicole	Here's your order.
Nicole	Don't tell number twenty-seven that I let you skip them in line.
Cole	Secret's safe with me. Thanks.
Cole	I know it's in a hospital, but is it weird to like the vibe in here?
Nicole	You like it here?
Cole	Yeah. It's got atmosphere, y'know?
Nicole	Haha, whatever you say.
Nicole	Aside from doctors, I'm used to serving hipster loners in here.
Nicole	So I'm glad I can help maintain your pristine, natural habitat.
Cole	Hey...
Nicole	Just kidding. Well, not really.
Cole	I like this song. What is it?
Nicole	I mean, it doesn't really have a name.
Nicole	Just an old file I still put on sometimes.
Cole	Wait... is this YOU? That's you, on guitar?
Nicole	Yeah. This is from a while ago. I used to dabble.
Cole	Woah, that's awesome. I didn't realize you were a musician.
Nicole	Heh, I'm not sure I'd call myself that. I just strum around.
Cole	But still...this is great. It sets the mood.
Nicole	I barely even remember making this.
Nicole	It's like my younger self is here, keeping me company with her guitar.
Nicole	Maybe that's why I keep it in rotation.
Nicole	To keep myself company.
Cole	Makes sense to me. I get that.
Nicole	Y'know, you mentioned something yesterday, that you need coffee to write music.
Nicole	Why is that?
Cole	I don't know. Sometimes I can't come up with ideas.
Cole	Other times...I just get in my own head.
Cole	Like, "maybe I accidentally stole this chord progression from something I already heard..."
Cole	I get trapped in that...it's frustrating.
Cole	But when I drink coffee...it helps me stop thinking about that stuff.
Cole	I can stay up late, so late that I can't even think straight.
Cole	Then, finally, I can write music.
Nicole	Well, glad I can help, then. All finished?
Cole	Yeah. I should probably head to my room.
Cole	See ya around, Nicole.
Nicole	Thanks for the chat. Later!

	I heard you playing piano in the cafe earlier.
	Not gonna lie, it sounded like you were straight-up mashin' on the keys.
	I'm not sayin' it was bad! I'm just sayin' what I heard.
	Is that how the pros are doing it these days?
