00:02:17 - Johnny-boy.
00:02:20 J-boy.
00:02:21 Psst!
00:02:23 Sweets.
00:02:24 - [Groans]
00:02:25 What are you doing, Erik?
00:02:26 - The door was open.
00:02:30 - Is there a girl in here?
00:02:35 - I don't see one.
00:02:39 - [Whispering]
00:02:42 - Is anyone in the bathroom?
00:02:45 [Laughs]
00:02:48 - She left.
00:02:51 What a good girl.
00:02:53 I love it when they leave.
00:02:57 What's the matter with you?
00:03:01 - I found a condom.
00:03:04 - You know, you do this shit
00:03:05 - What do you mean?
00:03:06 How do I do this shit?
00:03:08 - What the hell are you doing
00:03:10 - It's like she wanted me
00:03:12 - Well, maybe she did.
00:03:14 So what the hell
00:03:16 - I couldn't get in touch
00:03:17 - So you drive 400 miles
00:03:21 - Yeah.
00:03:22 I wasn't gonna be able to sleep.
00:03:23 - You should have been here
00:03:25 You know how many
00:03:27 It was like a bad Fellini movie.
00:03:28 And what are you doing?
00:03:29 You're doing 100 miles an hour
00:03:32 with some emo record on repeat
00:03:35 Meanwhile, the girl broke up
00:03:37 - But we've been talking.
00:03:38 - Stop.
00:03:39 You've been talking.
00:03:40 She's been hanging up the phone.
00:03:42 - I'm going home.
00:03:43 - No, you're not going home.
00:03:45 You're gonna listen to me,
00:03:46 I love you, clearly more
00:03:48 - Jesus Christ.
00:03:50 You want the stuff?
00:03:51 No pulling punches.
00:03:53 I love you.
00:03:55 This is what happens.
00:03:57 Inevitably, this is
00:03:59 Example: You drive
00:04:01 at 2:00 in the morning,
00:04:02 You get true love?
00:04:04 You get a used condom
00:04:05 laying in the middle
00:04:07 Come on.
00:04:08 - Why do you
00:04:09 - Then don't ask me, okay?
00:04:11 You know that
00:04:14 cut a key interest rate
00:04:15 by a quarter of a percentage
00:04:17 - Yeah, tune in Berlin, okay?
00:04:18 I need some help here, man.
00:04:20 - Why do you even ask me?
00:04:21 Seriously.
00:04:22 - You write books about love.
00:04:25 - Hmm.
00:04:26 - You're such a contradiction.
00:04:27 - Don't psychoanalyze me.
00:04:29 This is about you.
00:04:30 You are the topic.
00:04:31 And I write about love
00:04:32 a fantasy, a fable.
00:04:34 It's called fiction
00:04:35 It doesn't really exist.
00:04:37 Thank you, love.
00:04:38 - You are unbelievable.
00:04:39 - Yeah, you're unbelievable.
00:04:41 Pick up that glass.
00:04:42 - What?
00:04:44 - [Scoffs]
00:04:46 - Toast.
00:04:47 Tonight we celebrate:
00:04:48 My book and the next chapter
00:04:51 - Oh.
00:04:52 - The happy and single period.
00:04:54 - To Johnny-boy.
00:04:55 Yay, Johnny-boy.
00:04:59 If you don't mind,
00:05:01 My name is Dane Harrington,
00:05:03 for those of you
00:05:05 - Speech, Dane!
00:05:06 [Cheering]
00:05:07 - Absolutely.
00:05:09 I'd just like
00:05:10 If you'd be so kind,
00:05:12 Please?
00:05:13 Come here.
00:05:14 [Whistling, cheering]
00:05:15 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:05:17 [Cheering]
00:05:18 - Get on with it already.
00:05:19 - Okay.
00:05:21 It was, like, 15 years ago.
00:05:23 It's two high school dropouts,
00:05:24 nowhere to go,
00:05:26 countless arrests,
00:05:28 in and out of juvenile hall,
00:05:31 And then one day,
00:05:33 Just stopped.
00:05:36 "I'm gonna be a writer,"
00:05:39 "No more fights.
00:05:41 I'm gonna write."
00:05:44 "What are you gonna
00:05:47 "Women."
00:05:49 And off he went.
00:05:51 Research.
00:05:53 Here we are,
00:05:55 book number three.
00:05:56 He works fast.
00:05:57 It's not so bad.
00:05:58 My man, my best friend,
00:06:00 [Cheering]
00:06:02 Proud of you.
00:06:03 This is my best friend!
00:06:04 Give it up!
00:06:06 Oh!
00:06:13 - Johnny, Johnny.
00:06:14 Have you met the lovely,
00:06:18 Kelly Lynch?
00:06:19 - I have not,
00:06:21 - Your book is magnificent.
00:06:23 Really.
00:06:24 It's a best-seller for sure.
00:06:25 - Well, let's just hope
00:06:28 - They will.
00:06:29 - What do they know, anyway?
00:06:30 - That being said, I don't care
00:06:32 - [Laughs]
00:06:33 - Don't be such an agent.
00:06:36 - Kelly.
00:06:37 I have to go now.
00:06:38 - This is what
00:06:39 - Will I see you later?
00:06:41 - Honey, not in front
00:06:44 - I had a lovely evening.
00:06:45 Thank you very much.
00:06:46 - Pleasure to meet you.
00:06:47 - You too.
00:06:48 - Mm.
00:06:50 - You hitting that?
00:06:51 - I might be.
00:06:52 - You son of a bitch.
00:06:54 I've been wanting to crush that
00:06:56 - Well, jeez, why didn't you
00:06:58 Three's company.
00:06:59 - Oh, that's cute.
00:07:00 I just threw up in my mouth
00:07:01 - Listen,
00:07:03 make sure the husband's
00:07:04 - Hey, careful.
00:07:06 - Reviews come out Tuesday.
00:07:07 Lunch and celebrate?
00:07:08 - I'll call you tomorrow.
00:07:09 - Love you.
00:07:10 Hold that for me.
00:07:11 - Okay.
00:07:18 - I love the book.
00:07:19 - Enjoy.
00:07:20 Easy on the sauce, both of you,
00:07:23 - Hey!
00:07:25 - Johnny!
00:07:28 Whoa.
00:07:29 How does it feel
00:07:30 - Balt.
00:07:31 - Face looks a little round.
00:07:32 You put on some weight?
00:07:33 How are you?
00:07:34 - Good.
00:07:35 Look, can I be honest with you?
00:07:37 - Everybody here
00:07:38 It's shit.
00:07:39 You're shit.
00:07:41 I'm shit.
00:07:42 - All right.
00:07:44 - Yeah, you too.
00:07:45 - Hey, good game, man.
00:07:47 - Oh.
00:07:48 - [Clears throat]
00:07:53 - Please.
00:07:55 - We have a red wine
00:07:58 - She'll have a cosmo.
00:08:01 - Excuse me.
00:08:03 But do you mind if I borrow
00:08:07 - Borrow me?
00:08:08 What?
00:08:09 - Stop it.
00:08:10 - Do you need a drink?
00:08:11 - You know I don't drink.
00:08:12 - Then what can I help you with?
00:08:13 - For two weeks now,
00:08:15 I've not stopped
00:08:17 so I would like some credit.
00:08:18 - You want credit?
00:08:19 - Yeah, and some appreciation.
00:08:21 - Really?
00:08:22 - Yeah, the effort,
00:08:25 the undying appreciation
00:08:28 So if nothing else, one drink.
00:08:30 One drink alone.
00:08:31 I-I mean,
00:08:33 - I have to get back to work.
00:08:35 - Uh-uh-uh.
00:08:37 Look at me.
00:08:39 What time?
00:08:43 - 2:15.
00:08:45 One drink.
00:08:48 Thank you.
00:08:49 Get back to work.
00:08:59 - Oh, hey.
00:09:01 - [Groans]
00:09:02 - There's the kid.
00:09:03 - Mingled out?
00:09:04 - Yes, ma'am.
00:09:05 - Mm.
00:09:06 - Look at her.
00:09:07 - What?
00:09:08 - Yep, two weeks.
00:09:09 - Look at the seat on her.
00:09:11 What?
00:09:12 I find it to be disgusting,
00:09:13 but him,
00:09:15 - I was talking to her earlier,
00:09:16 and she seems
00:09:18 - God, I hope that's not true.
00:09:19 - No, she is.
00:09:20 - Yeah, well,
00:09:21 - What did I say?
00:09:22 - You didn't say anything.
00:09:23 - No, no, what?
00:09:24 Say it, Chris.
00:09:26 - Don't start, please,
00:09:27 - He's asking me a question,
00:09:28 - I'm asking her
00:09:30 Go ahead.
00:09:31 - You're 30 years old.
00:09:32 - Yeah, that's
00:09:34 We all know this to be true.
00:09:35 - I'm 30 years old.
00:09:37 - And she,
00:09:38 seemed to be a very nice girl.
00:09:40 - Well, from what
00:09:41 I mean, you two weren't
00:09:43 - True, but I find myself to be
00:09:46 - I find you to be that as well.
00:09:48 - So my question-
00:09:51 Why not get her phone number?
00:09:52 Call her.
00:09:54 Entertain the possibility
00:09:55 of spending more than an evening
00:09:57 - Honey...
00:09:58 - Sorry, your room.
00:09:59 - Are you done?
00:10:00 - Are you going to answer
00:10:02 - In detail.
00:10:03 - But first,
00:10:05 then what the hell is she doing
00:10:06 at 2:30 in the morning?
00:10:08 - Check.
00:10:09 - Because you're charming,
00:10:10 and she probably
00:10:12 - And play chess at 3:00 a. M?
00:10:13 - Maybe.
00:10:14 - Maybe not.
00:10:15 - That's not the point, anyway.
00:10:17 - No, the point is,
00:10:18 this is about me.
00:10:19 You say nice girl.
00:10:21 Pain? Tears?
00:10:23 It's not my thing.
00:10:24 You two, on the other hand,
00:10:25 found something
00:10:27 - No, that's not what you said.
00:10:28 - Just shut up
00:10:30 Unprecedented and special.
00:10:32 I'm just saying,
00:10:34 And even if it was,
00:10:36 - But that's all gonna change.
00:10:37 - You are so wrong.
00:10:38 - And when it does,
00:10:40 - Hey, hey, that's cruel.
00:10:41 - Whatever.
00:10:43 - And for the record,
00:10:45 And after
00:10:46 which I'm sure you assured her
00:10:49 she's gonna leave.
00:10:51 - You wanna bet?
00:10:52 - Yes.
00:10:53 - What?
00:10:54 - Make it a 50.
00:10:55 - What do you know?
00:10:56 - She's a nice Christian girl.
00:10:58 - Ha!
00:10:59 Okay, make it $100.
00:11:00 - Bet.
00:11:02 - You, come with me.
00:11:04 Come on.
00:11:05 You don't need that ever again.
00:11:07 Really?
00:11:08 - Ow.
00:11:10 - Christian...
00:11:11 - Gonna find you
00:11:13 - Bye, Erik.
00:11:15 - You're placing bets on
00:11:18 What's the matter with you?
00:11:20 - You're a filthy,
00:11:21 - You are a filthy,
00:11:22 - Is that right?
00:11:24 [Laughter]
00:11:26 [People chatting]
00:11:37 - Thank you.
00:11:38 - I don't want to.
00:11:40 - Listen.
00:11:42 You are in no condition
00:11:43 to know what it is
00:11:44 - Yuh-huh.
00:11:47 - All right,
00:11:49 standing there all alone
00:11:51 - Oh, no, that's a Republican.
00:11:55 - Fucking conservative.
00:11:57 Okay, look at the two blondes.
00:12:01 - Those are lesbians.
00:12:02 - They are not lesbians.
00:12:05 Okay, we move on.
00:12:07 Look around.
00:12:08 There's got to be something
00:12:10 Come on.
00:12:11 - I want to get a drink.
00:12:12 - Would you stop with the drink?
00:12:13 Stop it.
00:12:15 Look.
00:12:16 What do we got?
00:12:17 What do we have?
00:12:22 - Uh, I'm gonna
00:12:25 - Okay, yeah, go ahead.
00:12:27 I'll be down there in a minute.
00:12:29 - Really?
00:12:30 - Yeah, go ahead.
00:12:31 - All right.
00:12:33 - Down there in a minute.
00:12:35 - Loved the book.
00:12:38 - Okay, we can do the hiking
00:12:40 Then we'll just
00:12:42 - Yeah, that'll be good.
00:12:43 - I'll bring the dogs,
00:12:44 and, okay,

00:13:06 - Okay.
00:13:07 - I'm Johnny.
00:13:11 - And?
00:13:13 - Oh, um, no,
00:13:17 - What?
00:13:18 - Well, this is sort of
00:13:20 - Oh, okay.
00:13:21 - I mean, it's not really
00:13:23 The party is for me, so...
00:13:27 - Uh-huh.
00:13:28 - I'm sorry.
00:13:30 - Staying at the hotel.
00:13:31 - Right.
00:13:32 Makes sense.
00:13:34 - I'm gonna use the bathroom.
00:13:35 I'll be back.
00:13:36 - Okay.
00:13:39 What was your question?
00:13:41 Sorry.
00:13:42 - Okay, let's start over.
00:13:44 - Okay.
00:13:45 Because somehow
00:13:47 I was just standing over there.
00:13:49 - Uh-huh.
00:13:51 - And I saw you.
00:13:52 And you are without a doubt
00:13:56 I have ever seen
00:13:58 So I'm coming over
00:14:00 Uh, I'm Johnny.
00:14:01 Hello...
00:14:02 - Mercy.
00:14:04 - Mercy.
00:14:06 - [Laughs]
00:14:09 Okay, how many times this week
00:14:12 that they were
00:14:14 you've ever seen in your life?
00:14:15 - [Clicks tongue]
00:14:16 I can't remember.
00:14:17 - Oh.
00:14:19 - But I will tell you something.
00:14:21 It doesn't matter,
00:14:22 because I have not meant it
00:14:25 - Oh.
00:14:27 - Can I get you two something?
00:14:29 - Uh, she's good.
00:14:32 Um, um...
00:14:34 - [clears throat]
00:14:35 - I'm not thirsty.
00:14:36 - Sister?
00:14:37 - Yeah, actually.
00:14:39 - I can see the similarity.
00:14:40 Uh, what can I do for you,
00:14:42 - Let's, uh, let's relax.
00:14:45 Do you want a cigarette?
00:14:46 - Cancer?
00:14:47 No, thanks.
00:14:48 I'm actually out here
00:14:49 because I don't like
00:14:52 It's like a European coffee shop
00:14:54 - You know what?
00:14:56 I love it when a woman is right.
00:14:58 I hate crowds.
00:14:59 No intimacy.
00:15:00 - Oh, but isn't this your party?
00:15:02 - It is.
00:15:04 - So what are we celebrating?
00:15:07 - Uh, well,
00:15:11 - Hmm.
00:15:12 - Thank you.
00:15:13 You read much?
00:15:14 - I do, actually.
00:15:15 Um, I'm also a writer.
00:15:17 - Oh, wow.
00:15:18 - Yeah.
00:15:19 - That's great.
00:15:21 - So you were saying?
00:15:22 - I was saying...
00:15:23 [stammers]
00:15:25 No intimacy.
00:15:26 Um, crowds.
00:15:28 Too much-
00:15:30 Don't you agree?
00:15:31 - Well, I guess
00:15:34 - Fantastic.
00:15:35 So how about it?
00:15:36 - How about what?
00:15:38 - How about you and I alone
00:15:42 No, uh, no crowds.
00:15:44 No smoke.
00:15:45 Intimacy.
00:15:47 - Well, thank you, but no.
00:15:50 - Just like that?
00:15:52 - I was being polite.
00:15:53 - You were being hasty.
00:15:54 - [Laughs]
00:15:56 What do you want,
00:15:57 - Yeah, please.
00:15:58 - Hmm.
00:16:01 Well, you are teetering-
00:16:03 teetering on charming.
00:16:06 But the polite version of,
00:16:09 "if you think that after
00:16:12 I'm just gonna go to your room
00:16:15 is, "Thank you, but no."
00:16:19 But good luck with all that,
00:16:23 - Mercy, you said, huh?
00:16:25 - Yup.
00:16:26 - Well, it was, um...
00:16:29 Iovely to meet you.
00:16:32 - Likewise.
00:16:33 - Enjoy your stay at the hotel.
00:16:35 - Thank you.
00:16:45 - You win.
00:16:46 Good night.
00:16:58 - Look at the young man,
00:16:59 bright as can be,
00:17:02 - Sweets.
00:17:06 So?
00:17:07 You're scaring me.
00:17:08 Tell me something, please.

00:17:17 - Come on.
00:17:18 - Variety:
00:17:20 - Variety?
00:17:21 - I couldn't believe it.
00:17:22 I mean,
00:17:23 but usually
00:17:25 ready to eat their young.
00:17:26 They use words like
00:17:27 some others
00:17:29 Read it.
00:17:30 - Reading it.
00:17:31 What else?
00:17:32 - Raves. Rave.
00:17:36 Except one.
00:17:38 - Huh?
00:17:39 - Mm.
00:17:41 One review.
00:17:43 - Not good?
00:17:44 - Uh, it's a-
00:17:49 And it is The New York Arts,
00:17:50 the most prominent
00:17:52 But who cares?
00:17:54 Fuck 'em.
00:17:56 - Yeah, it's-it's not good.
00:17:57 - Let me see it.
00:17:59 - It doesn't even matter.
00:18:00 It's one bad review.
00:18:01 Everything else is perfect.
00:18:03 It's a best seller for sure.
00:18:05 - Did you look at this?
00:18:07 - I read it.
00:18:09 - "Johnny Ryan
00:18:11 "His stories
00:18:12 "with no remnants
00:18:14 "Childish at best.
00:18:16 "I felt"-[laughs]
00:18:18 "I felt as if I was reading
00:18:19 the diary of a young girl
00:18:22 What the fuck?
00:18:23 - Would you stop?
00:18:24 Was it written by a woman?
00:18:25 - Huh?
00:18:27 - It was.
00:18:30 Please, stop.
00:18:33 - Mercy, Mercy...
00:18:34 Son of a-
00:18:36 Mercy.
00:18:37 - What?
00:18:38 - I have to go.
00:18:39 - I thought we were-
00:18:44 - Thank you.
00:18:45 - Excuse me.
00:18:47 Dr. Anderbakke is gonna
00:18:49 He's VIP, and I need that
00:18:50 - Hey, Margaret.
00:18:52 - Hi.
00:18:53 - Can I ask you
00:18:58 - Who is it?
00:18:59 - Room service.
00:19:06 - Well, hello.
00:19:08 - Do me a favor, if you could,
00:19:11 - How do you mean?
00:19:13 Well, you didn't tell me
00:19:15 - I told you I was a writer.
00:19:16 - But you're not a writer.
00:19:17 You're a critic, a critic
00:19:19 which you also failed
00:19:20 - So?
00:19:22 - I didn't lie.
00:19:23 I just avoided
00:19:24 - Well, that's the same thing.
00:19:25 - Well, I disagree.
00:19:26 - You wrote this
00:19:28 and you thought
00:19:29 - Uh, wrong again.
00:19:31 - Well, then explain.
00:19:32 - I didn't think
00:19:34 - Then why the bashing?
00:19:35 - Because I didn't like
00:19:37 - No, I don't buy it.
00:19:39 I propositioned you.
00:19:40 You felt disrespected,
00:19:41 and then you wrote this,
00:19:43 - Well, for your information,
00:19:44 when I met you,
00:19:47 And I didn't lie.
00:19:48 I just avoided
00:19:50 and what I had done
00:19:55 - Fine.
00:19:57 - Fine.
00:19:58 - Great.
00:20:01 - [Chuckles]
00:20:03 Mercy, huh?
00:20:04 - Mm-hmm.
00:20:06 - You know what?
00:20:08 You call yourself a writer,
00:20:10 Then you stand to be judged
00:20:12 Am I right?
00:20:13 - I suppose so.
00:20:14 - Then I would like
00:20:16 - Well, I think you've done that
00:20:18 - No, no, no, in depth.
00:20:19 - Oh.
00:20:20 - Yeah, I would like
00:20:23 - Hmm.
00:20:25 - Okay?
00:20:27 - Yeah.
00:20:30 - Available any time
00:20:31 - I could be.
00:20:33 - Is this a date?
00:20:34 - A date?
00:20:35 No.
00:20:36 - Fine.
00:20:39 - Wait a-
00:20:41 [door clicks shut]
00:20:44 Shit.
00:20:46 - I mean, all weekend long,
00:20:48 curled up in a little ball,
00:20:50 praying to God
00:20:52 and say, "I'm sorry"
00:20:54 and that everything's
00:20:56 Then all of a sudden,
00:20:59 She calls and does just that.
00:21:02 Now what?
00:21:03 I'm supposed to just pretend
00:21:05 Tell her I can't speak to her?
00:21:06 Something's just wrong
00:21:08 You know, it's, like,
00:21:12 It's like
00:21:13 I mean,
00:21:15 and then when he gives it to me,
00:21:16 It's like smacking God
00:21:19 You can't smack God in the face.
00:21:21 I don't even know why,
00:21:23 and I know I shouldn't,
00:21:26 For some reason or another, man,
00:21:30 I don't know what it's like
00:21:32 but that's what it felt like.
00:21:34 The sweat dried up.
00:21:37 It's like I could feel her.
00:21:39 You know,
00:21:40 was like this intravenous
00:21:44 that made my bones work again.
00:21:46 I mean, they weren't working.
00:21:48 You know,
00:21:49 fell on my face.
00:21:51 You know, 20-something years
00:21:53 of a task that seemed so simple,
00:21:56 One foot in front of the other
00:21:58 became, like,
00:22:00 and there I am,
00:22:03 trying to figure it out.
00:22:05 I just don't want to look back
00:22:09 I don't want to be stubborn
00:22:10 and then
00:22:11 feel like
00:22:13 that I felt like doing
00:22:15 but my pride or ego
00:22:17 Then what?
00:22:18 It's too late,
00:22:19 she's gone,
00:22:21 It's your own stupid fault.
00:22:23 But at least I have my pride?
00:22:26 Fuck that.
00:22:28 Pride's overrated,
00:22:31 I think
00:22:33 and I think
00:22:35 I mean, people make mistakes.
00:22:37 - Excuse me for a second.
00:22:40 What the hell's
00:22:42 - What do you mean?
00:22:44 - Where are you at?
00:22:46 - I'm just thinking.
00:22:47 - Well, please, share.
00:22:49 - Hello?
00:22:50 - No disrespect, Erik.
00:22:51 I clearly know
00:22:53 - Do you guys think
00:22:57 - Sure, you got depth.
00:22:59 What does that mean?
00:23:02 - I went on a date last night.
00:23:04 - Really?
00:23:05 - It didn't start as a date,
00:23:07 Really, really beautiful woman.
00:23:09 She's a critic, and she, uh-
00:23:11 - Mm, fuck her.
00:23:12 - Well, yeah, but she made
00:23:14 something about life experience
00:23:16 "Love without love," she said.
00:23:18 It's funny, you know,
00:23:20 I can only hear the teacher
00:23:22 But with her, I just-
00:23:24 I heard her and listened to her
00:23:26 We talked about other stuff,
00:23:28 - Okay, I'm going home.
00:23:29 - Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:23:31 Listen to me for a second,
00:23:33 Listen, Erik, you can talk
00:23:35 and there's nothing
00:23:36 that's gonna influence you
00:23:38 So stop it.
00:23:40 You know what you're gonna do
00:23:42 so just shut up and do it.
00:23:43 You really think
00:23:44 Then what the fuck?
00:23:47 Did I just say that?
00:23:49 It's not gonna work.
00:23:52 She's a woman.
00:23:53 Fuck her.
00:23:55 That better?
00:23:57 - When you gonna see this girl
00:24:00 - [Laughs]
00:24:01 - Don't laugh at me, or I'm
00:24:04 - You wouldn't.
00:24:09 - Get you a drink.
00:24:10 What do you want?
00:24:11 - Uh, you're kidding, right?
00:24:15 - I'm not trying
00:24:16 and sleep with you.
00:24:17 We're gonna watch
00:24:19 'cause it's a sin
00:24:20 and then I'm gonna take you
00:24:24 I swear to God.
00:24:26 - [Chuckles]
00:24:27 You've lived here
00:24:29 - Oh, um, simplicity.
00:24:32 - Oh.
00:24:34 I see.
00:24:36 Is that what it is?
00:24:38 Well, I think you need to
00:24:41 It's so cold in here.
00:24:42 - Cold? You want heat?
00:24:44 - Oh, no, not temperature cold.
00:24:45 I mean empty cold.
00:24:47 I mean, it's such a cute place,
00:24:48 but you could really do
00:24:51 You know, some life,
00:24:53 I'm sorry.
00:24:55 - No.
00:24:57 - Yeah, water's great.
00:25:00 Is that even a real stove?
00:25:06 I mean, each to their own
00:25:08 but how do you live?
00:25:10 - Well, um, I eat out a lot.
00:25:14 And I stay at hotels
00:25:17 and I have really bad taste
00:25:20 - Oh.
00:25:23 That's cute.
00:25:24 - Have a seat.
00:25:27 - Well, I think you have
00:25:28 - Thank you.
00:25:30 Thank you very much.
00:25:34 - [Gasping]
00:25:39 My purse.
00:25:40 - You okay?
00:25:42 - [Wheezing]
00:25:46 - You all right?
00:25:47 - Yeah.
00:25:49 [Inhales]
00:25:53 Sorry.
00:25:54 - Don't be sorry.
00:25:55 You all right?
00:25:56 - [Sighs]
00:25:57 I'm severely asthmatic.
00:25:59 Bad air, too much exercise.
00:26:02 Anxiety.
00:26:04 And sometimes
00:26:06 which is great.
00:26:09 - [Laughs]
00:26:10 That's the cutest thing
00:26:12 No, I'm sorry,
00:26:14 - Yeah, well, stick around,
00:26:17 - Okay.
00:26:25 - I can't believe
00:26:27 - I told you.
00:26:28 - It's really good.
00:26:29 I always thought
00:26:31 - Well, it sort of is.
00:26:34 - It sort of isn't.
00:26:35 All those tough guys?
00:26:37 Just a bunch of scared
00:26:40 - Is that what you think?
00:26:42 - Yeah.
00:26:43 - I think you may have
00:26:44 - Oh, really?
00:26:45 - Hmm.
00:26:47 [Chuckles]
00:26:48 You're a walking contradiction.
00:26:50 - I'm a-me?
00:26:51 - How-why's that?
00:26:53 - Well, you're a gentleman.
00:26:55 You know, you open the door,
00:26:57 you throw the jacket in the mud,
00:27:02 You're charming,
00:27:06 You write about love,
00:27:07 but, um, you don't know
00:27:13 [Laughs]
00:27:14 Talk.
00:27:16 What are you?
00:27:46 It's good.
00:27:48 - That's it?
00:27:49 - Well, it's only a few pages.
00:27:50 - No, it's a chapter.
00:27:52 - Well, I said it was good.
00:27:54 - I don't do this, you know?
00:27:56 - You don't do what?
00:27:58 - I don't check in.
00:27:59 - Meaning?
00:28:01 - I usually
00:28:03 - Is that what you're doing?
00:28:04 - Well, I respect your opinion.
00:28:06 - You do?
00:28:07 - Yes, I do.
00:28:08 Tell me what you think,
00:28:10 - [Laughs]
00:28:12 Well...
00:28:14 I think that shirt
00:28:15 makes your eyes pop out
00:28:17 - Thank you.
00:28:19 - I think it's good.
00:28:20 I'm just not sure
00:28:23 - Thank you.
00:28:24 Jesus, that's all
00:28:26 - That's all you wanted?
00:28:27 - Why didn't you just say so?
00:28:28 - 'Cause I was waiting
00:28:29 - Oh.
00:28:30 - Difficult.
00:28:31 - Oh, yeah?
00:28:33 - I like you.
00:28:35 - I like you too.
00:28:36 - So this character...
00:28:37 - You.
00:28:38 - This character.
00:28:39 - Okay, fine.
00:28:40 - All right,
00:28:42 raised by wolves,
00:28:44 but raised by his single father
00:28:47 He's a class-act, this guy,
00:28:49 True gentleman, just been burned
00:28:53 He teaches the young man
00:28:55 despite his seemingly
00:28:57 Romance, chivalry,
00:28:59 But contrarian of that,
00:29:02 - And wolves hate women.
00:29:04 - That's a fact.
00:29:05 - Now, he's been told
00:29:06 about the evil ways of women-
00:29:08 the bad doings,
00:29:10 but simultaneously,
00:29:13 What does he see?
00:29:15 What is she?
00:29:16 - She's terrible.
00:29:17 - You know, I think that Freud
00:29:19 In fact,
00:29:21 - Yeah, but this is
00:29:23 - Oh, I see.
00:29:24 - Yeah.
00:29:25 - So then what happens?
00:29:26 - I don't know yet.
00:29:27 It's only the first chapter.
00:29:32 - One-one Mallards on one.
00:29:34 All: Break!
00:29:37 [Men chattering, laughing]
00:29:39 - Down.
00:29:42 Hut!
00:29:44 - Get him!
00:29:45 - There he goes!
00:29:46 - Go, go!
00:29:47 [All shouting]
00:29:52 - Ah, get him!
00:29:53 - All right!
00:29:55 - All right, all right.
00:29:59 - Aw, we'll sit one out.
00:30:00 - Sitting one out.
00:30:01 Run five, yeah?
00:30:02 - Come on, you pussies.
00:30:03 - Shut up, bitch.
00:30:05 - Let's go. Let's go!
00:30:07 - [Panting]
00:30:09 - Pussy.
00:30:12 - Ah.
00:30:16 I can't breathe.
00:30:18 - Bogie?
00:30:21 - Oh...
00:30:22 - Hut, hut!
00:30:23 - There he is!
00:30:24 Come on!
00:30:25 - Go! Go! Go!
00:30:26 - I got it!
00:30:27 - Go, go, go!
00:30:28 - [Yells]
00:30:29 - You hit like a bitch.
00:30:31 - Bitch.
00:30:32 - My ribs!
00:30:35 - You seeing that girl?
00:30:37 - What girl?
00:30:38 - Do me a favor.
00:30:39 I haven't seen you
00:30:44 You fucking her?
00:30:47 Oh, excuse me.
00:30:48 I mean, that would be
00:30:50 - You know what?
00:30:51 I don't even want
00:30:53 - Oh!
00:30:55 - Hey, douche bag!
00:30:57 It's a football!
00:30:58 Don't be scared of it.
00:30:59 Just catch it!
00:31:00 - All right, hop up.
00:31:02 - No way, man!
00:31:03 What are you talking about?
00:31:05 - What?
00:31:07 - What, what?
00:31:09 What's the problem?
00:31:10 She's going back to New York
00:31:12 - Ah, she lives in New York?
00:31:14 - Aw, that's too bad.
00:31:15 - It is what it is.
00:31:17 [Football players shouting]
00:31:22 - You know what's good?
00:31:23 - No, what?
00:31:26 - That I don't have to sit here
00:31:28 and give you some
00:31:30 about life, some lecture,
00:31:32 waste my time telling you
00:31:34 that you already know.
00:31:36 - Set.
00:31:37 - It's good.
00:31:40 You're smarter than me,
00:31:41 so fortunately,
00:31:45 Or better yet,
00:31:50 She's a nice-looking girl.
00:31:53 Maybe you could walk over there,
00:31:55 and you could fuck her tonight.
00:31:57 And then you could spend
00:31:59 trying to figure out
00:32:02 Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
00:32:05 - Pass!
00:32:06 - No, it's a run!
00:32:07 He's going outside!
00:32:09 - [Shouting]
00:32:12 [Men cheering]
00:32:14 - Yeah!
00:32:15 - Come on.
00:32:16 Play defense, Janice,
00:32:18 Uh-Oh!
00:32:22 Hey!
00:32:23 - What?
00:32:24 - I said, "Are you?"
00:32:26 - You think that's important?
00:32:28 - Don't get snappy with me.
00:32:30 - I'll make you eat cannoli.
00:32:32 - Please.
00:32:33 It's good.
00:32:35 - Oh...
00:32:36 - Here.
00:32:37 - Oh, great.
00:32:38 - That was mean.
00:32:39 I won't do that again.
00:32:40 - Yeah, that's really funny.
00:32:41 - I won't.
00:32:43 I promise.
00:32:45 Do it again.
00:32:46 Have a bite of the cannoli.
00:32:47 I promise.
00:32:48 I'll close my eyes.
00:32:52 [Romantic music]
00:32:55 * *
00:33:19 - I'm leaving tomorrow.
00:33:20 - I know.
00:33:22 - [Sighs]
00:33:25 Fun trip.
00:33:46 Well, this is me.
00:33:47 - I know.
00:33:50 Can I come in for a little bit?
00:33:52 - What for?
00:33:54 [Laughs]
00:33:55 I'm sorry.
00:33:56 I didn't mean it like that.
00:33:57 Yes.
00:33:58 You can come in
00:34:05 - Don't go back to New York.
00:34:07 Stay with me.
00:34:09 - What?
00:34:10 - Stay here.
00:34:12 Look at me.
00:34:13 I have never met a woman
00:34:15 that I've wanted to spend
00:34:16 let alone ten days, okay?
00:34:18 I don't know
00:34:20 but I just know
00:34:23 I don't even know
00:34:25 because I have nothing
00:34:26 but just stay.
00:34:27 - I can't just do that.
00:34:31 - I don't know.
00:34:40 - If you leave,
00:34:42 - Me too.
00:34:52 [Pounding]
00:34:53 - My man.
00:34:55 [Pounding]
00:34:56 My man!
00:34:58 - ¿ Uno más?
00:35:00 [Jukebox plays Spanish song]
00:35:01 - I don't speak Spanish, amigo.
00:35:04 - What can I do for you?
00:35:05 - I don't know.
00:35:06 I really don't know.
00:35:07 What can you do for me?
00:35:10 - Buddy, come on.
00:35:11 You want a drink or not?
00:35:13 - You got a lady, bro?
00:35:15 - What?
00:35:18 - You heard what I asked you.
00:35:19 - Yeah, yeah,
00:35:21 Now, do you want a drink
00:35:23 - She cute?
00:35:25 She take good care of you
00:35:30 Don't turn your back on me
00:35:32 Come here.
00:35:33 - Hey, man, am I missing
00:35:35 You got a problem with me?
00:35:36 - Well, you just seem
00:35:38 All smiles and shit
00:35:41 [Taps on bar]
00:35:43 Shitty job like this,
00:35:45 I'm thinking to myself,
00:35:46 this guy has got to have
00:35:47 a nice female at home
00:35:49 So no problem.
00:35:51 I'm just-I'm just asking
00:35:52 You know what I mean?
00:35:57 - All right, I see.
00:35:59 What happened?
00:36:01 She fucking someone else, huh?
00:36:04 - What do you think you
00:36:06 What do you think you'd do
00:36:08 and put this cigarette out
00:36:11 - You know what?
00:36:12 - Fuck you!
00:36:14 - Fucking piece of shit.
00:36:15 You know what?
00:36:16 One more thing.
00:36:17 - Yeah, what's that, tough guy?
00:37:02 - Right here.
00:37:12 They told me
00:37:15 - What's that?
00:37:17 - When I called to make bail,
00:37:20 [Chuckles]
00:37:21 I told them
00:37:22 and I was your lawyer,
00:37:25 I was gonna make a big deal
00:37:30 What?
00:37:32 Got nothing to say?
00:37:34 - I don't know.
00:37:35 What do you want me to say?
00:37:37 - Nothing.
00:37:39 You want me to take you home?
00:37:41 - [Sighs]
00:37:43 - You wanna come to my place?
00:37:47 - No.
00:37:48 - Chris isn't there.
00:37:50 - What is that supposed to mean,
00:37:53 - I don't know what it means,
00:37:55 - You just said it
00:37:57 so I'm asking you what it meant.
00:37:58 - Well, it wasn't completely
00:38:00 I thought you might
00:38:01 - Why?
00:38:03 I got into a fight.
00:38:05 Get off my back.
00:38:06 - What?
00:38:07 I'll pull over right now,
00:38:09 Don't start with me.
00:38:11 Look, I don't know
00:38:12 I come down here.
00:38:13 You're trying to pick a fight
00:38:15 I can't read your fucking mind.
00:38:16 You don't talk to me anymore
00:38:18 What do you want me to do?
00:38:19 - Pull over.
00:38:21 - Fine.
00:38:22 [Tires squeal]
00:38:28 This what you wanna do with me?
00:38:29 - You're the one who just
00:38:31 - What the fuck
00:38:42 - I fucking miss her so much,
00:38:47 and I don't know
00:38:48 I'm sorry.
00:39:14 [Knock at door]
00:39:15 Come in.
00:39:17 [Zipper zips]
00:39:18 - Here.
00:39:19 - Thank you.
00:39:20 - I just grabbed
00:39:21 I didn't know what you needed.
00:39:22 - Just gonna be
00:39:25 But thank you.
00:39:26 - No, you should stay a while.
00:39:27 Let Chris pamper you.
00:39:30 Good food.
00:39:32 Well, Dane's here, so...
00:39:34 food,
00:39:37 - See what happens.
00:39:40 - I got your typewriter
00:39:42 You want me to go grab it?
00:39:43 - No, I don't need it.
00:39:45 - I'll get it just in case.
00:39:46 - I just said
00:39:49 - Well, I brought it,
00:39:51 - How about you throw it out
00:39:53 - Done.
00:39:54 You should be using
00:39:56 you pretentious fuck.
00:40:02 - Thank you for bringing me
00:40:05 - No problem.
00:40:12 - Ready?
00:40:13 - You know what?
00:40:14 I'm gonna sit this one out.
00:40:15 - Aw, come on!
00:40:17 - [Sighs]
00:40:18 - You see this?
00:40:20 She doesn't have a drink.
00:40:23 Go and ask them
00:40:29 You got to stock the cooler
00:40:30 You can't charge people $8
00:40:33 - Sorry, Dane.
00:40:34 - Come on.
00:40:35 Christa, how you doing?
00:40:36 - I don't even know
00:40:40 If you didn't want me to come,
00:40:41 you should have just said that.
00:40:43 - Aw.
00:40:44 Of course,
00:40:46 You know, when you're not here,
00:40:48 "Oh, God,
00:40:50 You don't need to hear that shit
00:40:52 Who needs a drink?
00:40:53 - Yeah, let me get a scotch.
00:40:55 - Erik?
00:40:57 - I'll be right back.
00:41:00 - You gonna bring him a scotch?
00:41:02 - Don't start, Erik.
00:41:04 - [Scoffs]
00:41:05 What the fuck are you
00:41:07 - What do you want me to do-
00:41:09 tell him he can't have a drink?
00:41:10 He's fine.
00:41:14 - Hey.
00:41:17 - I don't know, do you?
00:41:19 - Yeah, um, I'm Heather.
00:41:21 Roosevelt Hotel, a year ago.
00:41:23 I was working there.
00:41:25 - I'm sorry.
00:41:27 - No, no, no, wait.
00:41:28 - What?
00:41:29 - One drink.
00:41:30 - One drink?
00:41:31 One drink.
00:41:32 Yeah.
00:41:34 - You owe me one.
00:41:35 So come find me.
00:41:37 - Okay.
00:41:41 - * By the wayside
00:41:42 * She was subtle
00:41:44 * And she was clever
00:41:45 * Body like a baseline *
00:41:46 * And when she comes around *
00:41:48 * I'm Lou Reed
00:41:49 * When underground, wanna lie
00:41:52 * I was dazed and fluttered
00:41:54 * But I'm melting in the warmth
00:41:56 * Her frozen place *
00:41:57 * She flashback
00:41:59 * She said, "I can't breathe,"
00:42:01 * Now I'm married to a concept
00:42:03 * And I wanna just leave,
00:42:05 * Understand, 'cause, please,
00:42:07 * Put my hands on my knees,
00:42:10 * Some people think children
00:42:12 * But they see
00:42:13 * You think they don't see *
00:42:14 * You think it's all... *
00:42:21 - I just moved in
00:42:23 so don't say anything.
00:42:35 - Simplicity's good.
00:42:38 [Delicate jazz music]
00:42:41 * *
00:42:47 So should we have a drink?
00:42:51 - It's a little late for that.
00:43:15 - * You're so beautiful *
00:43:18 * So strange, so lovely *
00:43:22 * *
00:43:25 * And so true *
00:43:31 * But if you... *
00:43:33 - Stay there.
00:43:43 - * I never said I love you *
00:43:49 * *
00:43:52 * You're a dream come true
00:44:00 * But not for me *
00:44:03 * *
00:44:07 * You kept me warm *
00:44:11 * *
00:44:15 * And I can't contain *
00:44:19 * *
00:44:24 * It hurts to know the truth *
00:44:30 * *
00:44:53 [both panting]
00:44:58 - Is it me?
00:45:01 Do you want me to do something?
00:45:28 Fuck.
00:45:31 It's not working.
00:45:34 No.
00:45:35 - Keep going.
00:45:36 - I'm sorry.
00:45:59 - I got to go.
00:46:06 - Well, that's a first.
00:46:12 - What did you just say?
00:46:16 Hmm?
00:46:18 - Nothing.
00:46:31 [Door slams]
00:47:50 [Elevator door clicks open]
00:47:52 - No, that's a true story.
00:47:54 - Hey, guys.
00:47:56 - Excuse me for a second.
00:48:03 What are you doing?
00:48:04 - Nothing.
00:48:05 - Where you been at?
00:48:06 - I was taking a walk.
00:48:08 - I saw your car was here.
00:48:09 I thought
00:48:11 But then I realized
00:48:13 - I'm a half an hour late.
00:48:15 - Yeah, I know,
00:48:17 which would have given me time
00:48:18 - Explain what?
00:48:20 - Well, there's nothing
00:48:26 - Who's that?
00:48:28 - She's a friend of Chris'.
00:48:30 They, uh-
00:48:31 Super nice lady.
00:48:33 - Oh, I'll see you later.
00:48:34 - Johnny.
00:48:35 Look, it's not a date.
00:48:37 All right?
00:48:38 It's nothing.
00:48:39 Chris invited her over
00:48:41 That's it.
00:48:43 She's really hot, though.
00:48:46 But that doesn't matter,
00:48:48 All right?
00:48:49 So just sit, have dinner.
00:48:50 Don't worry.
00:48:51 I'll do all the talking.
00:48:52 You don't have to say a word.
00:48:54 - Such an asshole.
00:48:56 - Wait, listen, listen, listen,
00:48:58 So his father,
00:48:59 along with being
00:49:01 was also one of the scariest
00:49:04 on the planet Earth.
00:49:05 - Mm-hmm.
00:49:06 I love the guy.
00:49:07 It's just-
00:49:10 I mean, he had hands
00:49:12 He looked at you funny,
00:49:14 - You'd start to cry.
00:49:15 - Whatever, tough guy.
00:49:16 Anyway, so we're at this
00:49:21 - Yeah.
00:49:22 - Just down the street
00:49:23 Well, to make a long story
00:49:25 We picked a fight with, what,
00:49:27 Turns out to be
00:49:29 Before you know it,
00:49:31 and we're fighting, like,
00:49:34 - Mouth.
00:49:35 - Come on.
00:49:36 - What did I say?
00:49:37 What's the matter with jag-off?
00:49:39 - There's nothing wrong
00:49:40 - Thank you.
00:49:41 - Thank you.
00:49:42 - Jag-off.
00:49:43 [Laughter]
00:49:44 Anyway, bottles are flying.
00:49:46 Chairs are getting smashed.
00:49:47 This guy's like De Niro
00:49:49 jumping up on tables,
00:49:50 whacking people
00:49:53 What?
00:49:54 It didn't happen?
00:49:55 - It's true.
00:49:56 - Yeah.
00:49:57 Anyway we-
00:49:59 I don't know how,
00:50:01 And we're running.
00:50:02 [Mimics motor]
00:50:03 And we're running back home.
00:50:05 We get to his house.
00:50:06 Bang.
00:50:07 And there he is,
00:50:08 standing in the doorway,
00:50:12 He's like a shadow.
00:50:15 He's like a massive,
00:50:20 The second I saw him,
00:50:21 my first thought was to run back
00:50:24 because I thought we'd have
00:50:26 but I didn't.
00:50:28 Very calm, very relaxed,
00:50:31 He says,
00:50:35 He's like,
00:50:38 Right?
00:50:39 Turns to me and goes,
00:50:42 I'm like, "Ha.
00:50:44 Why would you think that,
00:50:46 "No reason.
00:50:48 "Just tell me one thing.
00:50:52 Where'd you get that knife?"
00:50:55 I'm like, "What knife?"
00:50:56 Completely confused, right?
00:51:00 He says, "That knife,
00:51:02 the one stuck in the back
00:51:04 [All laughing]
00:51:05 Swear to God!
00:51:06 Off to the hospital we went.
00:51:08 12 stitches in my fucking leg.
00:51:09 He probably got beat.
00:51:11 [All laughing]
00:51:13 - I did, I did,
00:51:15 - Not for fighting.
00:51:16 - That makes complete sense,
00:51:18 - It does.
00:51:19 It sounds like our fathers
00:51:21 My father used to put boxing
00:51:23 if they had any problems
00:51:25 - That also makes sense to me.
00:51:26 - All right, all right.
00:51:27 - Sounds fair.
00:51:29 For them, but not for me.
00:51:31 My father's very old-fashioned,
00:51:33 A lady's a lady.
00:51:35 - Also makes sense.
00:51:36 - It does,
00:51:38 one of your little brothers.
00:51:39 And I did on a regular basis.
00:51:42 So one time, I insisted.
00:51:44 I told my father,
00:51:46 that I would go and kill Timmy
00:51:48 - I would have let you box
00:51:49 - Well, it got me in the ring.
00:51:51 So we go into the backyard.
00:51:53 And he was sure
00:51:55 as soon as we actually
00:51:57 but I'd been wanting this.
00:51:59 There's no way I'm backing down,
00:52:01 So we're in there, right?
00:52:04 We got gloves on.
00:52:08 - [Laughs]
00:52:09 - I'm done up.
00:52:11 And my father's just stalling.
00:52:13 He keeps looking at me,
00:52:14 "Robin, please.
00:52:17 Just call it off."
00:52:18 Finally, I just exploded.
00:52:20 I go running at my brother
00:52:23 And my father,
00:52:26 He picks me up right before
00:52:29 - No!
00:52:30 - That's not right!
00:52:31 - No, that's completely unfair.
00:52:32 - It's not fair at all.
00:52:34 - Not at all.
00:52:36 So actually, that night-
00:52:38 that night, after everybody
00:52:41 I, uh...
00:52:44 [sighs]
00:52:45 I did.
00:52:46 I-I stabbed
00:53:00 I thought about it, anyway.
00:53:02 [Laughter, applause]
00:53:03 - Fantastic finish.
00:53:05 - That was a good one.
00:53:06 - That was good,
00:53:07 because I seriously
00:53:11 Well done.
00:53:12 [Laughs]
00:53:14 Didn't I tell you?
00:53:16 - I'm not.
00:53:17 - Just saying.
00:53:18 - Well?
00:53:20 - They're good.
00:53:21 - Right?
00:53:22 - Yeah, don't.
00:53:23 - Come on.
00:53:24 - Don't.
00:53:26 - I mean, I guess it depends
00:53:28 I think there's
00:53:30 - I do too.
00:53:31 - It's like anywhere, right?
00:53:32 There's good people.
00:53:34 - True.
00:53:35 - You got to find
00:53:36 - It's true, true.
00:53:37 - You lived here
00:53:38 - Mm-hmm.
00:53:40 - Yeah?
00:53:42 - Um...
00:53:44 - I'm sorry.
00:53:45 - No, no, I'm just-
00:53:47 - Really?
00:53:48 What?
00:53:50 - No, I honestly
00:53:51 since I was a little kid,
00:53:52 haven't seen her
00:53:54 and my father and I
00:53:56 but he's around.
00:53:57 That's kind of it
00:53:59 - Okay.
00:54:00 - Yeah.
00:54:01 - You ever been to Chicago?
00:54:02 - I have.
00:54:03 - I have, yeah.
00:54:05 I was there once.
00:54:07 I was on a layover
00:54:09 and I went outside,
00:54:11 and it was freezing cold.
00:54:12 - Yeah.
00:54:13 Well, there's a lot more to it
00:54:16 - Like what?
00:54:17 - That's part of it, though,
00:54:18 - Like what?
00:54:19 - Like the food, the people,
00:54:22 I don't know.
00:54:23 You know, it's home, you know?
00:54:25 - If it's home,
00:54:27 - It's a long story.
00:54:28 - You're good at those.
00:54:29 - Really?
00:54:30 - You are good at them.
00:54:32 - Okay.
00:54:33 L-no, I'm-
00:54:34 - Okay.
00:54:35 - I was saying that,
00:54:37 which you've learned well,
00:54:39 So please,
00:54:41 - [Laughs]
00:54:44 - Come on.
00:54:47 - Okay.
00:54:50 I was married,
00:54:52 married my high school
00:54:55 And we grew up about
00:54:56 three blocks
00:54:58 And we got married at a church
00:55:00 about three blocks
00:55:02 And then we lived
00:55:05 about three blocks
00:55:07 where we got married.
00:55:09 So basically, my whole life
00:55:14 with the same person,
00:55:17 and he passed away
00:55:23 So it was just too much,
00:55:25 Just couldn't stay.
00:55:33 - Could you, um-
00:55:34 could you just excuse me
00:55:36 - Sure.
00:55:43 - What's up?
00:55:50 - What happened?
00:56:43 - Hey, Pop.
00:56:46 Want to have a drink?
00:56:48 [Ice clinking]
00:56:52 - Yeah, it was amazing.
00:56:55 - Huh.
00:56:56 - What?
00:56:57 - I'm just listening.
00:57:00 - Huh.
00:57:01 It was amazing.
00:57:04 Amazing.
00:57:06 You know, I would tell them
00:57:09 that you were this anomaly
00:57:12 and that you would pick
00:57:17 because of the warmth
00:57:20 And all these
00:57:23 gathered to discuss Proust.
00:57:27 And here they are
00:57:30 like you had
00:57:32 - I don't know why
00:57:34 - How could you forget that?
00:57:35 - I don't know.
00:57:36 - I mean, it was our best act.
00:57:38 Pretty much our only act,
00:57:41 - I don't remember.
00:57:42 - Well, I don't-
00:57:44 well, maybe because
00:57:46 I still don't see
00:57:48 Anyway, here's what happened.
00:57:52 I'd line up
00:57:54 tell you to leave the room.
00:57:55 Then you'd leave the room,
00:57:57 and I'd grab one them,
00:58:00 one book for five seconds."
00:58:02 They'd do that, and I'd call you
00:58:04 You'd come in all serious,
00:58:07 And then you'd come out
00:58:08 and inspect the books
00:58:10 and then you'd grab
00:58:11 and you'd smell it,
00:58:13 and you'd feel the hand,
00:58:15 And you handled the books
00:58:18 It was great.
00:58:19 And then I just waited until
00:58:22 - And then you would take
00:58:24 with your left hand.
00:58:25 - No, no, no, no.
00:58:26 - No.
00:58:28 - That was not the signal.
00:58:30 It was much more subtle
00:58:31 - No, you-
00:58:33 - Any blind man could see
00:58:35 - You switched!
00:58:36 - That's a big, physical move.
00:58:37 - That's what it was.
00:58:38 - I never switched.
00:58:39 The signal was that
00:58:42 I would take a puff
00:58:45 or I would just leave it hanging
00:58:47 Little subtle, okay?
00:58:49 - I was just saying
00:58:51 It came back to me.
00:58:52 - Well, you should.
00:58:53 I mean, those people went nuts.
00:58:55 I mean, they thought you were
00:58:57 [Both laugh]
00:58:59 - That is amazing.
00:59:00 - No, it was great.
00:59:02 - Yeah.
00:59:04 - Yeah.
00:59:05 - Yeah, most kids my age
00:59:07 and I was sitting around
00:59:09 break down Dante's Inferno.
00:59:11 - Right.
00:59:12 Absurd waste of time.
00:59:14 I think the real fun
00:59:16 and beating the shit
00:59:18 - I remember that too.
00:59:19 - [Laughs]
00:59:21 Yeah, well, well.
00:59:23 Well.
00:59:28 That was then.
00:59:32 This is now.
00:59:33 So...
00:59:37 - Wait.
00:59:44 Go ahead.
00:59:46 - Go ahead what?
00:59:49 - Ask me.
00:59:51 - Ask you what?
00:59:53 - We've been sitting here
00:59:54 I'm sure you're dying
00:59:56 so go ahead and ask.
00:59:57 - John boy, hold on.
00:59:59 I have absolutely no idea
01:00:03 - Ask me what happened.
01:00:04 Ask me where she is.
01:00:09 - Ask...
01:00:11 Allow me to be a little more
01:00:14 Probably the last thing
01:00:16 was to ask you that.
01:00:17 See, I was-
01:00:19 you know, I was just figuring on
01:00:23 That's all.
01:00:24 I'd rather it if, uh,
01:00:32 - Okay.
01:00:35 It's fine.
01:00:38 - Fine.
01:00:42 - That's great.
01:00:43 - I see.
01:00:44 - That's great.
01:00:46 Just keep it easy.
01:00:48 - Okay.
01:00:51 Well...
01:00:53 Okay.
01:00:54 All right, then.
01:01:03 To the inevitable.
01:01:10 [Sighs]
01:01:15 The truth.
01:01:19 You, um-
01:01:23 I didn't want to say anything,
01:01:26 because I knew, sooner or later,
01:01:29 It's just not gonna work.
01:01:32 Now, see, funny-
01:01:36 I almost believed you.
01:01:38 And I almost remembered
01:01:40 feeling the way you felt
01:01:43 You know the feeling,
01:01:44 that everything,
01:01:47 was going to be just swell
01:01:49 just as long
01:01:54 But yet here we are.
01:02:01 Love is a myth.
01:02:07 Unfortunately,
01:02:16 - * Take *
01:02:18 [peaceful acoustic guitar music]
01:02:21 * Take what
01:02:25 * *
01:02:27 * Bury the clashing breed *
01:02:33 * Over the rainbow *
01:02:36 * *
01:02:40 * Strike *
01:02:45 * Strike them
01:02:49 * *
01:02:51 * Don't let them drag
01:02:58 * To the river *
01:03:01 * *
01:03:05 * You're so mixed up in it *
01:03:11 * And you just
01:03:17 * Better force it down *
01:03:21 * And bend my will *
01:03:23 * Gonna get what I deserve *
01:03:28 * *
01:03:54 * The whisper of demons *
01:03:58 * Comes from the other room *
01:04:01 * *

01:04:12 * Talk to yourself *
01:04:15 * *
01:04:18 * If only to be adored *
01:04:22 - It's so good.
01:04:24 [Giggles]
01:04:25 - * And adored *
01:04:34 - How long
01:04:36 - Ah, about ten years, I think.
01:04:40 - Oh.
01:04:43 Hey.
01:04:45 You okay?
01:04:46 - Yeah.
01:04:48 - [Laughs]
01:04:50 Look, I don't know much,
01:04:53 And to tell you the truth,
01:04:56 because I only care about you
01:05:01 But we must have come up here
01:05:05 - I just want him to meet you.
01:05:08 - Okay.
01:05:10 Simple.
01:05:11 Let's do it.
01:05:12 [Laughs]
01:05:14 - I don't get much company,
01:05:20 The maid comes January 15th.
01:05:22 - Don't worry about it.
01:05:23 - I worry.
01:05:25 Prettiest woman
01:05:27 She probably thinks
01:05:29 - [Laughs]
01:05:31 - Well, I'm not.
01:05:33 Would you cover her eyes
01:05:36 Cover her eyes.
01:05:38 - Cover her eyes?
01:05:39 - Just a second.
01:05:42 - [Snickers]
01:05:45 - Fine.
01:05:48 I'm actually a prince.
01:05:49 - [Laughs]
01:05:50 - I've just been out
01:05:54 Are you sure I can't get you
01:05:56 - Oh, no, I'm fine.
01:05:57 - John boy?
01:05:59 - Uh, I haven't had a drink
01:06:01 I quit smoking too.
01:06:05 - Wait.
01:06:06 You don't drink,
01:06:10 How in God's name do you work?
01:06:12 Speaking of which,
01:06:14 how are those awful
01:06:17 I'm just kidding him.
01:06:18 We sort of tease each other.
01:06:20 - No, no, no, no.
01:06:23 How's grading
01:06:25 That going good?
01:06:26 - Ah.
01:06:30 He is correct.
01:06:31 A waste of one of the greatest
01:06:34 yours truly.
01:06:36 Tell her, John.
01:06:37 - That's true.
01:06:38 He is something else.
01:06:39 - [Laughs]
01:06:40 - No.
01:06:42 This is true.
01:06:45 But this woman right here,
01:06:48 I say keep her, my boy,
01:06:51 or I will steal her
01:06:55 I challenge you to a duel
01:06:56 for the heart
01:06:59 - I'm no match for you, Pop.
01:07:03 - This is true.
01:07:08 My lady.
01:07:10 - I'm afraid my heart's
01:07:13 - A real gem.
01:07:15 - [Chuckles]
01:07:16 Can I use your restroom?
01:07:17 - Yes, yes, indeed, but please,
01:07:20 It could be detrimental
01:07:22 So that would be
01:07:25 past the second pile
01:07:29 on the right.
01:07:30 - Okay.
01:07:32 - Very well.
01:07:35 Hmm.
01:07:40 - Mm.
01:07:52 - So...
01:07:54 - How you been?
01:07:55 - Shitty.
01:07:57 - I've been good.
01:08:00 - It's been a long time.
01:08:01 - Yeah.
01:08:04 - At least.
01:08:06 - Yeah.
01:08:08 - Well, this one,
01:08:13 Be careful.
01:08:15 - I didn't come here for that.
01:08:18 - Oh, sure you did.
01:08:19 - Nope.
01:08:21 I just wanted you to meet her.
01:08:23 - Why?
01:08:25 You think you love her?
01:08:27 - Yeah, I know I do.
01:08:32 - So what?
01:08:35 What does that mean?
01:08:38 - I don't know.
01:08:39 Why don't you tell me?
01:08:42 - No, no, you tell me.
01:08:44 Me telling you would be
01:08:48 - Okay.
01:08:50 Well, never met anyone like her.
01:08:54 - Again, so what?
01:08:57 - [Chuckles]
01:08:58 She is amazing.
01:09:01 - Well, so am I.
01:09:02 - [Scoffs]
01:09:04 I love being with her.
01:09:05 - Check, please.
01:09:09 - She is the last thing
01:09:15 and since meeting her,
01:09:16 I wouldn't be able to tell you
01:09:24 - Well, there you go.
01:09:28 I felt that way
01:09:31 Ah.
01:09:42 - You're beautiful.
01:09:44 - I love it
01:09:47 - Then I'll tell you every day.
01:09:49 - What if you miss a day?
01:09:50 - I won't.
01:09:52 - What if you're far away
01:09:54 - Then I'll scream.
01:09:55 - [Chuckles]
01:09:58 [Peaceful music]
01:10:01 * *
01:10:06 What?
01:10:08 - * Thick in the heat of love *
01:10:13 * The fire goes out *
01:10:18 * *
01:10:24 * Collapse into silken flesh *
01:10:30 * Fingers they will caress *
01:10:35 * Entwined in the feral wilds *
01:10:41 * They scratch and claw *
01:10:46 * *
01:10:52 - Okay.
01:10:55 I love you.
01:10:59 - I love you too.
01:11:00 Call me when you're done.
01:11:01 I'll come back and grab you.
01:11:02 - Okay.
01:11:05 - Hey.
01:11:07 You're beautiful.
01:11:09 - [Laughs]
01:11:10 I love you.
01:11:39 - Morning, handsome.
01:11:41 - Look at the young man.
01:11:42 A glow about him.
01:11:43 - Ah.
01:11:45 - I do.
01:11:47 - Ah.
01:11:48 - The book.
01:11:49 - Wow.
01:11:50 - You know my style.
01:11:51 - I do, but I also have news.
01:11:53 - Book, then news.
01:11:54 - News, then book.
01:11:55 - Mm, no.
01:11:56 - Okay, go ahead.
01:11:57 - I didn't get it.
01:11:58 Is he a child,
01:12:00 - Well, he's, uh-
01:12:02 Literally, he's an adult,
01:12:04 but he's a child in the sense
01:12:06 that he's getting another chance
01:12:08 like a do-over.
01:12:09 So yes, he's an adult,
01:12:13 - But he's a man.
01:12:14 - He's a man, yeah.
01:12:16 - Still don't get it.
01:12:17 - Don't worry.
01:12:18 It's all gonna come together.
01:12:20 - Fine.
01:12:21 - Yeah.
01:12:22 - News.
01:12:24 - News.
01:12:26 You're gonna look amazing
01:12:28 - Oh.
01:12:30 Oh, no.
01:12:33 No.
01:12:34 I don't believe it.
01:12:35 - Hold on.
01:12:37 Hello?
01:12:39 This is he.
01:12:45 - [Gasping]
01:13:09 [Bell rings]
01:13:55 - [Muttering]
01:13:58 What did you do to me?
01:14:01 [Sobbing]
01:14:03 What did you do this to me for?
01:14:05 [Yelling]
01:14:07 You want it?
01:14:09 Come on!
01:14:11 Come on!
01:14:13 Come on, all you fucks!
01:14:17 [Dramatic music]
01:14:21 * *
01:15:18 - Love...
01:15:22 is a myth.
01:15:24 Bedtime story.
01:15:25 Unfortunately,
01:15:29 [Sighs]
01:15:30 And the minute
01:15:31 thinking that it does,
01:15:35 it's just a question of time
01:15:37 before you realize
01:15:41 We just don't mix.
01:15:48 Fuck her, son.
01:15:49 Fuck her, wherever she is,
01:15:53 so deeply filled
01:16:00 But, uh...
01:16:03 fuck your mother too.
01:16:08 - [Sighs]
01:16:12 You're wrong, Pop.
01:16:17 You're wrong.
01:16:41 [Mellow acoustic guitar music]
01:16:44 * *
01:16:54 - * You live your life
01:16:58 * Waltz across
01:17:01 * All their eyes are on you *
01:17:03 * There's nothing to see *
01:17:09 * *
01:17:10 * You're not taking
01:17:16 * Mind can paralyze *
01:17:18 * But the heart will redefine
01:17:23 * *
01:17:26 * And love will not last
01:17:31 - So?
01:17:33 - [Sighs]
01:17:34 What the fuck do they know,
01:17:36 Morons.
01:17:37 They know not what they do.
01:17:39 They just do.
01:17:40 Sheep.
01:17:42 - That good, huh?
01:17:43 - Mixed.
01:17:45 It'll do all right.
01:17:47 - What do you think?
01:17:48 - I think it'll do all right.
01:17:49 Just don't go put a Ferrari
01:17:51 You'll be fine.
01:17:52 We'll be fine.
01:17:53 - No, what do you think
01:17:57 - I told you what I thought,
01:17:59 I didn't get it.
01:18:00 But look at me.
01:18:01 I'm shallow.
01:18:05 I like popcorn
01:18:08 I like you.
01:18:09 You're happy,
01:18:11 I think it'll do all right.
01:18:17 - Mmm.
01:18:18 Can you wait
01:18:20 Please.
01:18:21 - I love it
01:18:24 - Okay.
01:18:25 Entertain.
01:18:26 - [Laughs]
01:18:30 Johnny, I need to talk to you.
01:18:31 - What?
01:18:32 - I just got to talk to you
01:18:34 - About what?
01:18:35 - It's no big deal.
01:18:36 Let me just talk to you.
01:18:38 Everyone, can I have
01:18:41 Attention.
01:18:42 Yo!
01:18:44 This is my best friend,
01:18:48 and he's a genius in my book.
01:18:51 So fuck 'em
01:18:53 Tonight, we celebrate!
01:18:55 To Johnny-boy!
01:18:57 [Cheering]
01:19:00 - Thank you.
01:19:01 - You're welcome.
01:19:02 Cheers.
01:19:05 - The meat is so...
01:19:08 - Succulent.
01:19:09 - Mm, that's right.
01:19:10 - I like succulent.
01:19:11 - No, look, I want kids,
01:19:13 I want kids.
01:19:14 She doesn't want them.
01:19:15 She says she has to worry
01:19:17 I mean, no disrespect,
01:19:19 You can't be pregnant
01:19:23 - He's so cute.
01:19:26 [Sighs]
01:19:27 I think I'm ready
01:19:29 - Johnny.
01:19:30 Johnny, Johnny, me boy.
01:19:32 Johnny, this is Tess.
01:19:34 Tess, this is Johnny.
01:19:35 - Hi.
01:19:36 - Tess here is studying
01:19:38 and coincidentally enough,
01:19:39 eating is one
01:19:41 It's what I do.
01:19:42 A match made in heaven,
01:19:44 - I would.
01:19:45 - Johnny just finished
01:19:48 just hit the racks
01:19:49 - Wow.
01:19:51 - Thank you.
01:19:52 - Only took him two years.
01:19:53 - [Chuckles]
01:19:54 Well, I don't do
01:19:55 but I'd like to check it out.
01:19:57 Is it long?
01:19:58 - Uh, it's-
01:20:01 It's a long one.
01:20:02 - Yeah, it's-
01:20:03 - Oh, well.
01:20:04 - Well, we'll have to...
01:20:06 Get her the Cliffs Notes, huh?
01:20:07 - Tess, it was really great
01:20:09 - You too.
01:20:10 - And, uh, you, you...
01:20:11 - Forget about it.
01:20:12 - All right.
01:20:13 - Do we have to do this
01:20:15 - What is the matter with you?
01:20:16 - Nothing.
01:20:17 What is the matter with you?
01:20:18 - I'm fine.
01:20:19 - Well, so am I.
01:20:21 - Okay, so then what's going on?
01:20:22 - Oh, I need to get drunk.
01:20:23 - These are male nylons.
01:20:25 Nylons,
01:20:27 and the doctor said that
01:20:28 if I started wearing
01:20:30 that I would stop getting-
01:20:31 - I'm sorry. I missed-
01:20:53 - [Sighs]
01:20:54 [Footsteps approaching]
01:21:03 Hey.
01:21:05 - Very well.
01:21:07 - I'm good.
01:21:09 You know, I really wanted
01:21:12 for the last time I saw you.
01:21:13 I was...
01:21:15 - Don't worry about it.
01:21:16 - Thank you.

01:21:19 I spent the day reading it.
01:21:20 Couldn't put it down.
01:21:22 I started it, and I finished it,
01:21:26 I can only do that when
01:21:28 - Well, it took me about a year
01:21:30 so I'm really glad you liked it.
01:21:32 - I did.
01:21:33 You should take a year

01:22:45 * *
01:23:06 * Leave me not alone *
01:23:09 * I won't be chased *
