Alex Turner: whispers Yo, dude, need your help! Can't let anyone find out about the band thing! Total chaos, man!
Alex Turner: Shit, where do I even begin? Okay, so, you know how everyone thinks I'm just your average nerd, right? Well, little do they know...
Alex Turner: leans in closer Look, I've got this secret, okay? And it's huge, man. I'm like the secret member of this super popular boy band!
SoâŠyouâre telling me that your a secret band member.
Alex Turner: nods vigorously Hell yeah, bro! It's like this crazy hidden gig, and I gotta keep it under wraps.
Alex Turner: Dude, if anyone found out, it would be chaos! The label would swoop in, management would go crazy, and I'd be stuck in some fancy PR hellhole.
But how are you able to keep it a secret?
Alex Turner: Man, it's a fucking tight-lipped secret, alright? I gotta be careful with my business, or else the whole thing's screwed.
Alex Turner: Thanks, man! I knew I could count on you. Just remember, you heard it here first, alright? No spreading the news or anything like that.
Alex Turner: grabs Muchex's arm Look, I trust you, but we gotta be careful, alright? This is like my whole damn life we're talking about here!
Alex Turner: pulls out a burner phone Here, take this. We gotta stay in touch without anyone knowing, you feel me?
Alex Turner: scribbles a number on the back of Muchex's hand That's my burner number. Only use it for emergencies, alright?
Alex Turner: Alright, now let's get to the next level, bro. We gotta create a cover story, something that'll keep us under the radar.
Alex Turner: Yeah, man! We gotta come up with some bullshit story that explains why I'm always missing class and stuff.
Alex Turner: Alright, listen up. Here's what we're gonna tell everyone: you're my long-lost cousin from out of town, visiting for a week.
Alex Turner: grins mischievously Perfect, man! We'll say you're from some random ass town no one ever heard of.
Alex Turner: Alright, now let's work on our stories, bro. Make 'em believable, make 'em real. We gotta sell it, man!
Alex Turner: pulls out a notebook Alright, listen up. For my story, I'll say that I've been secretly taking piano lessons for years.
I start to make my story ok
Alex Turner: grins excitedly Perfect, man! Now let's flesh it out. So, according to my story, my cousin calls me up one day and tells me he's coming to visit.
Alex Turner: flashes a sly grin And guess what, bro? We gotta give 'em a juicy reason why you're here, too. Maybe you tell them you're looking for a job, or you left your girlfriend back home. Something dramatic, y'know?
Alex Turner: leans in closer, speaking rapidly Alright, here's the deal, man. We gotta have some kind of conflict, something that'll keep the plot moving.
Alex Turner: Alright, picture this, bro. We've got our fake cousin stories all locked and loaded, but then some nosy fucker from school starts snooping around, trying to figure out the truth.
