Neutral Milk Hotel - "Conversation with Robert Schneider"
But we fucked up that Remedial English class, because we were smoking pot
Were not in college.
Right.
We cant move on to college, can we?
So, like-
We are not in college, are we?
So, how do you move on to another place to shop if you havent
taken that Remedial English class and youve got these pieces
of a puzzle that wont fit together and your parents are, like,
eating blood waffers?
Grow sideburns.
Sideburns. They really help, really?
Yeah.
They give you that distinctive look.
They do.
Like standing out of the crowd.
They really do, they really do, and I...thats why I dont think I fit in.
Because you dont have any sideburns?
I cant grow em, I just...they just dont look right, I always
cut them off.
(Long pause)
Thats terrible...
See, the problem is: you cant find the puzzle with they guy
watching Price is Right...
I want-
You need blood waffers.
No, I want the puzzle with--
See, they have ones...they have the one with your family, you
just havent been to the right place. You havent seen the ones...makes
it easier to put together when its your family members face
right there in front of you in puzzle pieces. Its just that
you dont know the fat man. but when its your family, youll
realize..what its all about.
No, but see, I bought the...the puzzle with the rat on the treadmill
on the farm, and the...the decapitated goats.
Thats the problem, you have to get the ones with the waffers.
And the bloody trousers. And your family.
But Ive already got all these puzzle pieces stuck together that
are, like, a part of me now, theyre like, I mean, you cant
sep- Once you become a part of the puzzle piece, you cant really
seperate yourself from it anymore.
So that makes you an artist.
I know! but Ive gotta get some more puzzle pieces.
Youre an artist! Make your own pieces! Use waffer. Use pieces
of waffer. Use Thumbtacks.
But what am I going to do with all these weird puzzle pieces
that werent even supposed to be part of me in the first place?
I mean, I tried to keep my eyes open, I tried, like, I tried
to be very aware of what puzzle I was buying, and when I opened
the box, I tried to be really aware of, like, the pieces, and
making sure the pieces were what was on the box.
Can I-
But then I shoved the pieces together, and, it was too late!
It was like all these, like, disjointed body figures and stuff,
and I tried to convince myself that it was a flower, but it was
not a flower, man. It was not a flower, and-
You know why, right? I am telling you I know the answer, and its this:
(Long pause)
Do you remember when you were talking about putting the thumb-
the pushpin in...
Yes. In the blood.
Right.
Doesent it all make sense now?
No!
Did you...did you find...the sideburns...in, in the puzzle?
No!
Theyre in the bottom! Theyre taped to the bottom.
Ive got these-
Can I use them, can I please staple them on? That is the key.
You can do what ever you want.
(tacking noise)
Ulp
What you dont understand, is it-
(tacking noise)
Ow
What you dont understand, is I thought it was a flower. But
it wasnt. Ok? It was part of the rat on the treadmill. It was
this dudes legs watching The Price is Right, Ok? It was a
part of the blender. And I...I convinced myself for so long that
it was a flower. I mean, I spent years and years and years convincing
myself that these puzzle pieces added up to a flower, and it
wasnt at all. And once I woke up, I realized: How do I trust
other pieces? How do I take new pieces and put them together
with this much, you know, vigor that I once did, because, what
if theyre not a flower either? What if they are just like-
Theyve gotta be animal pieces. They might be animal pieces.
Pieces of goats...
Thats what I was trying for. That was, like, a rat and a goat
and the whole thing and the goats didnt have any hands.
And you bought this at Wal-mart?
And thats what I wanted, thats all I wanted. Since I was a
kid. Since I was a kid! And it was just- I was just-
And you never gotten a puzzle together?
No.
Never?
Never. There are all these disjointed parts I convinced myself
to be flowers.
You have a serious problem, young man.
I know I do. But I dont think Im much different from anybody
else...I bet everybody else has got a bunch of, like, pseudo-flowers
in their pockets that really are just, like, pieces of this weird
puzzle that arent supposed to fit together.
Nope.
I mean, I hope Im not alone in this thing, you know.
You are.
well, it sure feels that way, I mean when I go through the news
stands and stuff and read the magazines, and everybody seems
to have their flowers so perfectly put together, You know? Because,
see, what they can do is then they can take you in a studio and
they can take your photograph, and make it look like you got
your pieces puzzled together really well, you know? And they
can, they can do anything these days. The, the way you pack it...
Theyve got computers...theyve got their shit together.
Right, they can make it look like you got your flower together,
but they really dont. But it makes the people who dont got
their flower together feel really small and insignificant.
You are. But thats what makes all the difference, youre an artist.
But Im not insignificant, because my flower isnt any more pressed
together than anybody elses flower. I mean, and if, I guess
if I had a record record company or
something that could take my photo and make it look like I had
my flower together and Id be OK, but Im not, I dont want to
do that because then all these people with no flowers pressed
together will comming to me, like, treating me like I
was somebody who had my flower put together, and I dont and
itd be a big lie. And then Id be doing Swanson TV dinner ads
when I was fifteen and be real smug and commit scuicide on the
Brooklyn Bridge. There wouldnt be much of a point in that, would
it?
No. Youre an artist, I told you a hundred times. You see, what
you...the part that you dont understand...What is there to not
understand? Ahh...I- I...its so hard for me to explain it to
you, because... see, I see youre a bit off, actually.
Very off. I didnt realize how off I was until I pulled my pieces
of puzzle out of my pocket, and saw it for what it really was.
Did you try tape?
It was stuck together...its- I wish I could pull em apart.
If I could pull em apart Id be OK, but I cant, theyre stuck
together.
I see.
Well, I came home, showed it to my folks really proud of my flower...and
thats when I realized:
You should be in college.
I should be in college, yep.
I should be tak-
