  Brian Wilson walks into a movie theater. With the help of his Filipino day nurse, Gertie, he finds a seat in the back and sits down. He is holding a box of Junior Mints, a large popcorn, and a large Mr. Pibb. The lights go down and the movie starts, but before the previews are over he is done with his Junior Mints. Gertie gets up from her seat and comes back five minutes later with a box of Milk Duds, which she opens for Wilson and sets down in his lap. Gertie turns to Wilson and asks him if she missed anything. Wilson puts his finger to his mouth and tells her to stop talking. He says, This is a movie and you're not allowed to talk. Wilson watches the movie with rapt attention, but does not laugh or cry or otherwise make a sound. When the movie is over Gertie helps him up and they walk out into the blinding sunlight. Gertie asks Wilson if he liked the movie and he tells her that he did. Wilson says, That Brian Wilson was a very interesting man. Gertie takes Wilson by the crook of his arm and says, That was about you, you're Mr. Wilson. Wilson bows his head and says, I'm Brian Wilson? That movie was about me? That was supposed to be me? Gertie nods. As soon as Wilson gets home he shuffles over to his night nurse, Cassandra, and says, I'm Brian Wilson! They made a movie about me! Cassandra says, Yes, they've made a lot of movies about you, Mr. Wilson. Later that night Wilson is escorted to his favorite massage parlor. He is brought into a cool, quiet room and once the door is shut he lies down on the massage table. Minutes later his masseuse walks in and introduces herself. She says, Hello, my name is Kaiya. Wilson, without looking up, says, Hello, my name is Brian Wilson.
