00:00:00Oh my god.
00:00:30That was the rosebud in Indiana, and he was like,
00:00:33we didn't even know you had a rosebud in Indiana.
00:00:35That doesn't sound like a business trip.
00:00:37That's not supposed to.
00:00:40No, I love it.
00:00:40What are you thinking that we would do this?
00:00:42We will launch to be there in September.
00:00:44September.
00:00:44And I'm glad that you came in for this.
00:00:47It's an honor.
00:00:49I'm going to wrap this up, give this check.
00:00:51No, no, no, I got it.
00:00:52I got this tonight.
00:00:53This is my treat.
00:00:53This has been a wonderful treat.
00:00:54Thank you for the wine recommendation, by the way.
00:00:56It's fantastic.
00:01:30Oh, I hate blind dates.
00:01:36Excuse me?
00:01:38Oh, I said I hate blind dates.
00:01:41I'm sorry to hear that.
00:01:43Didn't go well?
00:01:46That is an understatement.
00:01:48That's too bad.
00:01:49You two look like you're having fun.
00:01:51You were watching us?
00:01:53Well, not in a creepy way.
00:01:54Oh, that's what you say.
00:01:56Come on, give me a break.
00:01:58I wasn't exactly engaged here.
00:02:01It was a business dinner, and my mind may have wandered.
00:02:05Well, I'm glad that we could entertain you.
00:02:09Oh, God, you weren't listening to us, too, were you?
00:02:11No, no, no.
00:02:12I couldn't hear you at all, unfortunately.
00:02:16So what happened?
00:02:18You didn't like him?
00:02:19No, I did like him.
00:02:21I mean, I liked him a lot, actually.
00:02:22So what's the problem?
00:02:26He didn't like me.
00:02:30Come on, I find that hard to believe.
00:02:31Well, that's because you don't have a list of about 100 boys who have rejected you.
00:02:36100 boys?
00:02:37Really?
00:02:38Mm-hmm.
00:02:39Have you kept a list?
00:02:42Well, it may not be like 100 exactly, but yeah, it's getting pretty close.
00:02:48Well, how'd you two meet?
00:02:50We didn't meet.
00:02:51I told you that.
00:02:52It was a blind date.
00:02:53Um, like Match.com?
00:02:55God, no.
00:02:56Oh, I'm sorry.
00:02:57I didn't mean to offend you.
00:02:59I just, I thought that's how you meet nowadays.
00:03:03Nowadays?
00:03:04Oh, God, what are you, 100 years old?
00:03:06No, my roommate set us up.
00:03:08Well, my roommate's boyfriend, actually.
00:03:10I mean, that's what makes this so humiliating.
00:03:13Mm.
00:03:14Well, what do you mean?
00:03:16They're probably laughing about it right now.
00:03:18I mean, he probably called them on his way out of the restaurant.
00:03:21I think that's a little paranoid, don't you think?
00:03:24It's not paranoid, if it's true.
00:03:28God, I want something sweet.
00:03:30Have you seen our waiter?
00:03:33Um, you know what?
00:03:34He's probably getting ready to go home.
00:03:37Do you think I can still order dessert and Irish coffee?
00:03:40Uh, probably.
00:03:43I mean, it's probably worth a try.
00:03:44Did you think our waiter was gay?
00:03:46I mean, incidentally, because I totally got that vibe.
00:03:49I, I, maybe so.
00:03:51Okay.
00:03:52I'm going to go track him down.
00:03:53Did you want anything?
00:03:54Uh, no thanks.
00:03:56Okay.
00:03:57Be right back.
00:03:58Do not go anywhere.
00:03:59Okay.
00:04:12Wow.
00:04:13That was quick.
00:04:14Yeah, he was on the phone with his boyfriend, I think.
00:04:16I didn't want him to, like, you know, hang up on him or anything.
00:04:19But he was sweet about it, though.
00:04:20He said he could put it on the same charge.
00:04:22So, do you want anything?
00:04:23You sure?
00:04:24Because it's on me.
00:04:25I mean, well, him.
00:04:28No, no thanks.
00:04:29God, we should order, like, 50 desserts.
00:04:33I like your style.
00:04:34It's the least he can do, don't you think?
00:04:36I mean, buy me dessert and Irish coffee?
00:04:39Absolutely.
00:04:41Can I ask you something?
00:04:44Sure, go ahead.
00:04:45How do I look?
00:04:50What do you mean?
00:04:51I mean, you know, the way that I'm dressed.
00:04:55Like, do I look good?
00:05:02Um...
00:05:02What?
00:05:03What's the matter?
00:05:05I'm not really sure what to say.
00:05:09Just be honest.
00:05:13You look amazing.
00:05:15Oh, God.
00:05:18I know, right?
00:05:19I mean, when I got dressed tonight, I thought,
00:05:22my God, this is it, you know?
00:05:24Like, I look better than I've ever looked,
00:05:26and I'm ever going to look again.
00:05:27I mean, everybody must have a night like that, right?
00:05:30A night where you reach the absolute apex
00:05:32of your physical appearance.
00:05:34You know, and so I thought,
00:05:35if this is true,
00:05:37if this is the summit of my youthful beauty,
00:05:40then this night must mean something, you know?
00:05:42It must be a magical night, like, filled with destiny,
00:05:45and then maybe this blind date,
00:05:47this boy would be someone special.
00:05:50I mean, maybe even the person that I'd marry
00:05:52and with whom I'd have extraordinary children with.
00:05:55Well...
00:05:56What, you think I jinxed it?
00:06:00It's a lot for a first date, you know?
00:06:04You didn't say all that, did you?
00:06:07God, no.
00:06:08I'm not stupid.
00:06:11God, where is my dessert?
00:06:13I'll be right back.
00:06:28Ah-ha!
00:06:30I mean, look at this thing.
00:06:32You've got to help me with this.
00:06:34Oh, wow.
00:06:35Here, I got you a fork.
00:06:35That does look good.
00:06:43Mm-hmm.
00:06:48All right, just to taste.
00:06:53Oh, wow.
00:06:54That's really good.
00:06:55Mm-hmm.
00:06:57Do you think I'm an egomaniac
00:06:58for thinking that I'm so beautiful
00:07:00and tonight must be a night of destiny?
00:07:03What?
00:07:04Come on, don't be so smug.
00:07:06I think you're romantic.
00:07:11Mm-hmm.
00:07:12And you.
00:07:13And there's nothing wrong with that,
00:07:14but when you get to be my age,
00:07:18fewer and fewer nights are remarkable,
00:07:21and destiny is only discernible in retrospect.
00:07:28I don't know what the hell that means.
00:07:32Neither do I.
00:07:33Hey, this is supposed to be your key lime pie.
00:07:35Come on.
00:07:37I guess I am romantic.
00:07:38I mean, if we don't invest meaning in our relationships,
00:07:41we're no different than dogs.
00:07:43Oh, I'm Emma, incidentally.
00:07:44I don't even think I know your name.
00:07:46I'm Jack.
00:07:47But I'm not silly about it, you know?
00:07:49I mean, romance.
00:07:50I mean, not more than most girls.
00:07:52I have my fantasies, of course,
00:07:53but, I mean, Andrew, for instance,
00:07:55he worked as an auditor for an accounting firm downtown.
00:07:58Now, does that occupation stir my loins?
00:08:03No, not exactly, but I still liked him, though.
00:08:06I still wanted to see him again.
00:08:08Well, maybe he sensed that.
00:08:10Sensed what?
00:08:11That your loins weren't stirred.
00:08:12Uh, but I liked him, though.
00:08:16I liked him a lot.
00:08:19So, what did you guys talk about?
00:08:21Uh, college, mostly.
00:08:23He went to IU, and I had a bunch of friends who went there.
00:08:25Well, not so much friends as people
00:08:27who hated my guts in high school.
00:08:30Why did they hate your guts?
00:08:32I don't know.
00:08:32You'd have to ask them.
00:08:34Maybe because I'm so beautiful, smart, and sexy.
00:08:36You're an egomaniac.
00:08:40I know.
00:08:42But, truly, it's the coffee talking.
00:08:44I mean, I love this drink
00:08:47because I can drink so much of it, but...
00:08:49And I get drunk, you know.
00:08:50But I don't feel like a lush because it's just coffee.
00:08:52Hmm.
00:08:53Okay, that's true.
00:08:55So, where did you go to school?
00:08:57Yale.
00:08:58Really?
00:08:59Oh, God, what?
00:09:00I mean, people hear Yale,
00:09:01and they think I'm some kind of snob, all right?
00:09:03It's just college, okay?
00:09:04You should hear Matthew go on about it.
00:09:06Wait, wait, wait.
00:09:07Who's Matthew?
00:09:10My roommate's boyfriend.
00:09:12He's a barely-functioning moron, Stenley.
00:09:14Well, then why'd you agree to go out?
00:09:17Hmm.
00:09:18Because I'm lonely?
00:09:21God, I mean, you ever been lonely?
00:09:26Of course.
00:09:27Yeah, and they're always together.
00:09:28It's just Matthew and Stephanie.
00:09:31And, oh, my God, our walls are so offensive all the time.
00:09:33And it's like, ah, ah, ah.
00:09:36Okay, that sounds bad.
00:09:37I'm sorry.
00:09:38God, yeah, you know.
00:09:39And I just want someone for myself, you know.
00:09:42I mean, not necessarily for that,
00:09:45but just someone that I can, like,
00:09:47talk to and hang out with.
00:09:51I just, I feel like this neglected baby
00:09:54who's been left to cry alone in her crib every day
00:09:56for five or six hours for months on end.
00:09:58I mean, do you know what happens to babies like that
00:10:00who are neglected like that?
00:10:02They turn into sociopaths
00:10:03because they've never been comforted or touched.
00:10:13Can I say something?
00:10:16Only if you change the subject.
00:10:17I can't believe there isn't a line of boys
00:10:22lined up around the block to ask you out.
00:10:25Mm-hmm.
00:10:27Do you see such a line?
00:10:29I mean, file into an orderly queue, gents.
00:10:34Well, maybe you're giving off some kind of vibe.
00:10:37Oh, my God.
00:10:38Blame the victim.
00:10:39No, I don't think you're anybody's victim.
00:10:41I just think that...
00:10:43I think the boys your age
00:10:46are a little intimidated, that's all.
00:10:50Oh, intimidated?
00:10:51Mm-hmm.
00:10:52That's a good one.
00:10:53Mm-hmm.
00:10:54Because you're beautiful, smart, and sexy.
00:10:56Shut up.
00:10:59Uh-huh, no, seriously.
00:11:00So what makes you think this boy doesn't like you?
00:11:04Uh, because he basically said so.
00:11:08You did?
00:11:09Yeah.
00:11:09He went into the bathroom for, like, ten minutes.
00:11:11I'm sure to just screw up his courage.
00:11:13And then he comes out, and he's like,
00:11:15Listen, um, I don't want to waste your time,
00:11:18but I don't think this is working for either one of us.
00:11:22He did?
00:11:23Uh-huh.
00:11:24He said that?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25For either one of us?
00:11:26I think that was his version of being nice.
00:11:32Listen.
00:11:35You're gonna have a thousand boyfriends
00:11:37before you're through.
00:11:39But I don't want a thousand boyfriends.
00:11:44I just want one.
00:11:46Hmm.
00:11:48It's gonna happen.
00:11:49Believe me.
00:11:51How can you be so sure?
00:11:52Well,
00:11:53I mean,
00:11:55a girl like you will not go unnoticed.
00:11:58How can you possibly know that?
00:12:00I mean, I'm noticing you right now.
00:12:06I'm sorry.
00:12:07Uh-uh.
00:12:09You're fine.
00:12:10No.
00:12:10No, I shouldn't have said that.
00:12:12No, it's very flattering, I guess.
00:12:14I know, but I'm...
00:12:15I'm not that guy.
00:12:19No, I know that.
00:12:21Seriously?
00:12:22Uh-huh.
00:12:23You know,
00:12:23I'm a very good judge of character,
00:12:25believe it or not.
00:12:29So how long have you been married?
00:12:31Excuse me?
00:12:33I said how long have you been married.
00:12:34I'm just curious.
00:12:35Um,
00:12:3613,
00:12:37well,
00:12:3814,
00:12:38next May.
00:12:39Wow.
00:12:40That's a long time.
00:12:41Yeah,
00:12:42it is.
00:12:43Are you happy?
00:12:44Yeah,
00:12:45most of the time.
00:12:45Have you ever cheated?
00:12:48Oh,
00:12:49you don't,
00:12:49you don't have to answer that.
00:12:50I'm just nosy.
00:12:51No,
00:12:52no.
00:12:54I've never cheated.
00:12:57Boy,
00:12:57you are just,
00:12:59you don't have a filter,
00:12:59do you?
00:13:01I'm a journalist.
00:13:02Really?
00:13:03Well,
00:13:03a blogger anyway.
00:13:04I interview people.
00:13:05Does that count?
00:13:07What kind of people?
00:13:08Just random people.
00:13:10You'll think I'm weird.
00:13:11Okay,
00:13:11why would you say that?
00:13:13Wrong numbers.
00:13:15Uh,
00:13:15that's the name of my blog.
00:13:17I,
00:13:17I call people
00:13:18and I ask for Harry Rich.
00:13:20Who's Harry Rich?
00:13:22It's just a name
00:13:23I made up.
00:13:24They'll tell me
00:13:24that I have the wrong number
00:13:25and then I just,
00:13:26I start asking them questions.
00:13:28What kind of questions?
00:13:30I don't know,
00:13:30just random stuff,
00:13:32you know,
00:13:32until we're comfortable.
00:13:33Like,
00:13:34uh,
00:13:35what's on the TV?
00:13:37What's the weather like?
00:13:40And then?
00:13:41Have you ever cheated?
00:13:43Seriously?
00:13:44No!
00:13:45They'd hang up on me for sure.
00:13:48No,
00:13:48I just,
00:13:48I'd go where the conversation leads.
00:13:51Yeah,
00:13:51but you asked me
00:13:52if I cheated.
00:13:53Mm-hmm.
00:13:54Oh,
00:13:54I guess I should feel
00:13:55special about that,
00:13:55huh?
00:13:56Yes.
00:13:57You are very easy
00:13:58to talk to.
00:13:59Of course.
00:13:59I probably have
00:14:02this to blame
00:14:03a little bit.
00:14:06My father cheated.
00:14:08I guess that's why
00:14:09I think about it so much.
00:14:11Did your parents divorce?
00:14:12Uh,
00:14:13yeah,
00:14:13eventually.
00:14:14I,
00:14:14I moved in with my mom
00:14:16and my dad
00:14:17got an apartment.
00:14:18I would see him,
00:14:19like,
00:14:19twice a month,
00:14:20you know,
00:14:21father-daughter time.
00:14:22And,
00:14:22God,
00:14:24it was,
00:14:24it was awful.
00:14:25I'm sorry.
00:14:31Do you have any siblings?
00:14:33Uh-uh.
00:14:33It's just me.
00:14:35And I was the one
00:14:36who caught him, too,
00:14:36so I always felt like
00:14:37he betrayed me
00:14:38more than my mom.
00:14:40How'd you catch him?
00:14:41Like,
00:14:42Nancy freaking
00:14:43fucking Jew.
00:14:44I had suspected
00:14:45that,
00:14:45that something was going on
00:14:46because he was so
00:14:47distracted at home
00:14:48and,
00:14:48you know,
00:14:49I don't think my mom
00:14:49wanted to know
00:14:50or she pretended
00:14:51not to notice.
00:14:52Hmm.
00:14:53So what'd you do?
00:14:54Well,
00:14:55nothing until I got
00:14:55my license
00:14:56and then I started
00:14:57following him around.
00:14:59Yeah,
00:14:59I got pretty good
00:15:00at it, too.
00:15:01Me and one of my
00:15:01girlfriends would go
00:15:02and we'd,
00:15:02we'd follow him around,
00:15:04you know,
00:15:04we'd smoke cigarettes
00:15:05in the car,
00:15:05like,
00:15:05cops on the stakeout,
00:15:06sitting there all cool.
00:15:09And then what?
00:15:11And then one day
00:15:12he was having lunch
00:15:14downtown
00:15:14and I followed him
00:15:16to the embassy suites.
00:15:18Uh,
00:15:19that town.
00:15:20Yeah.
00:15:21And I got there
00:15:22and I didn't know
00:15:23what to do,
00:15:23so I just,
00:15:24I just sat there
00:15:25and I had my homework,
00:15:28so I started reading
00:15:29Sense and Sensibility
00:15:30and then finally
00:15:31a security guard
00:15:32came up.
00:15:34What'd he say?
00:15:36He asked me
00:15:37what I was doing there
00:15:38and I said,
00:15:40my father is inside
00:15:41fucking his mistress.
00:15:43Oh my.
00:15:43And he looked at me
00:15:45like I was crazy.
00:15:47And then my dad
00:15:48heard our voices,
00:15:49so he came out
00:15:50out in the hall
00:15:50and he went through,
00:15:52um,
00:15:53seven stages of,
00:15:54of grief
00:15:55in like 22 seconds.
00:15:56I mean,
00:15:57first he denied
00:15:58that there was
00:15:58anything going on
00:15:59with this woman
00:16:00who was sitting there
00:16:00in her literal
00:16:01underpants.
00:16:02Oh, jeez.
00:16:03And then he blamed me,
00:16:05like somehow
00:16:05I had betrayed him
00:16:06instead of the other
00:16:07way around.
00:16:08And then
00:16:09he started bargaining.
00:16:10He said he'd send me
00:16:11to Europe for the summer,
00:16:12which is something
00:16:13that I'd been asking for.
00:16:15So what'd you do?
00:16:19I didn't do anything.
00:16:22I just,
00:16:23I just,
00:16:24I let him send me
00:16:25to Europe.
00:16:25You know,
00:16:26I just,
00:16:28I was just so mad
00:16:29and I don't think
00:16:30my mom wanted to know.
00:16:31I just wanted to get away,
00:16:32so I left
00:16:33and I went to Paris
00:16:35and Italy
00:16:35and then I started
00:16:36hooking up
00:16:37with all these guys,
00:16:38which is,
00:16:38it's a whole nother story.
00:16:40Wait,
00:16:40what kind of guys?
00:16:42I'm not gonna tell you that.
00:16:44I mean,
00:16:45I'm not,
00:16:45I'm not embarrassed
00:16:46of myself or anything.
00:16:47It was just a,
00:16:48it was a really
00:16:49weird time in my life.
00:16:55I really gotta stop
00:16:57drinking this stuff.
00:17:03My parents had been
00:17:04married for 53 years
00:17:05and they still
00:17:09go to the movies
00:17:10and hold hands,
00:17:12so.
00:17:12Oh,
00:17:14that's sweet.
00:17:16Is that the kind
00:17:17of marriage you have?
00:17:20Most of the time.
00:17:22Not always?
00:17:24Well,
00:17:24I mean,
00:17:25we have a six-year-old
00:17:28son,
00:17:28so
00:17:29we can't go around
00:17:31holding hands
00:17:31all the time,
00:17:33but,
00:17:33um,
00:17:34yeah,
00:17:36before Charlie
00:17:36was born,
00:17:37yeah,
00:17:38we used to be,
00:17:39we were really close.
00:17:40Can I say something?
00:17:44I don't want to
00:17:45offend you.
00:17:47Yeah,
00:17:48go ahead.
00:17:50You seem pretty lonely.
00:17:54Are you kidding?
00:17:55Lonely?
00:17:56Why?
00:17:57That's a good one.
00:17:58just,
00:18:00I have a lot
00:18:01of responsibility,
00:18:02that's all,
00:18:02with my job,
00:18:03and...
00:18:04What about it?
00:18:05Well,
00:18:05I mean,
00:18:06I mean,
00:18:06my phone never
00:18:07stops ringing,
00:18:08I've got at least
00:18:09five meetings a day,
00:18:11um,
00:18:12when I go home,
00:18:13my wife has got
00:18:13a list of chores
00:18:14for me to do,
00:18:15or some dinner party
00:18:16we have to attend,
00:18:17or, you know,
00:18:18she just wants to talk,
00:18:20and then my son,
00:18:21he's,
00:18:23you know,
00:18:23he wants my,
00:18:23well,
00:18:24he demands my attention.
00:18:26That's not what
00:18:26I'm talking about.
00:18:29Well,
00:18:29what are you
00:18:29talking about,
00:18:30then?
00:18:31You can be lonely
00:18:32in a room full of people.
00:18:36God,
00:18:36I mean,
00:18:37you ever felt that?
00:18:37I feel that all the time.
00:18:40What?
00:18:40What are you smiling about?
00:18:44Nothing.
00:18:46I just want to be
00:18:47the most important person
00:18:49in someone's life.
00:18:51You know,
00:18:52I want to be the person
00:18:53that they're thinking about
00:18:54when I'm thinking
00:18:56about them.
00:19:01You probably need
00:19:02to call her, right?
00:19:03Your wife?
00:19:06No,
00:19:06um,
00:19:07no,
00:19:07she's asleep.
00:19:09She doesn't wait up for you?
00:19:10No.

00:19:13at 5 a.m.,
00:19:15so.
00:19:15Oh,
00:19:16my God.
00:19:16I would be
00:19:17a terrible mother.

00:19:19you know,
00:19:19go back to bed,
00:19:20you filthy little brat.
00:19:22We've done that
00:19:23a couple of times.
00:19:24Well,
00:19:24you probably need
00:19:27to get going,
00:19:28right?
00:19:28I mean,
00:19:28you've probably
00:19:28got a long drive home
00:19:29to your house
00:19:30in the suburbs.
00:19:31Yeah,
00:19:31but I'm not going

00:19:43if so.
00:19:45Hmm.
00:19:46Oh,
00:19:47God.
00:19:49This has been good.
00:19:51Almost made me forget
00:19:52that I will die alone
00:19:53and unloved.
00:19:57Do you need a ride home?
00:19:59Uh,
00:20:00I thought you'd been drinking.
00:20:02No,
00:20:03we'll get a cab.

00:20:11You're not?
00:20:12No,
00:20:14I can't,
00:20:15I can't possibly
00:20:16face them tonight.
00:20:17I mean,

00:20:19from their first round
00:20:19of sex
00:20:20and full of this
00:20:20condescending sympathy.

00:20:28who lives nearby.

00:20:39Hold on a sec.
00:20:42Hello?
00:20:44Hey,
00:20:44hi.

00:21:26uh,

00:21:30the first six months,
00:21:31you know,
00:21:31to avoid HR.
00:21:34Uh-huh.
00:21:34What happened then?
00:21:36What do you mean?
00:21:37Like,
00:21:37after the six months,
00:21:38did she quit?
00:21:39Did she give up her career?
00:21:43Yeah.
00:21:44Yeah,
00:21:44pretty much.
00:21:47Trying to imagine her.
00:21:50Do you have a picture?
00:21:53Um,
00:21:54she's beautiful.
00:22:05Yeah,
00:22:05she is.
00:22:08Well,

00:22:44I think she was sleeping.
00:22:48Sounds like it.
00:22:48She's a very
00:22:50heavy sleeper.
00:22:52Mm-hmm.
00:22:54So what are you gonna do?
00:22:57Um,

00:23:28Yeah,
00:23:28I,
00:23:28uh,
00:23:30I don't think
00:23:31that's a good idea.
00:23:33Oh,

00:23:39I'll figure something out.
00:23:40This place is gorgeous.
00:23:58Watch your step.
00:24:00Oh,
00:24:00thank you for doing that.
00:24:05You're welcome.
00:24:09Wow.
00:24:19That is amazing.
00:24:22Oh my God.
00:24:23This is unbelievable.
00:24:32You should see my place.
00:24:33Oh,
00:24:34I'm sure it's lovely.
00:24:35Sure,
00:24:35we'll go with that.
00:24:37Oh,
00:24:38gosh,
00:24:38if I lived here.
00:24:39Yeah,
00:24:40I don't use it that much actually.
00:24:42Get in late
00:24:43and then I take off
00:24:45right after breakfast,
00:24:46you know,
00:24:46isn't enough time.
00:24:47Oh,
00:24:48you poor thing.
00:24:49It's terrible,
00:24:50I know.
00:24:51Hey,
00:24:51you see the roof though,
00:24:52there's a pool up there,
00:24:54a couple of nice cabanas.
00:24:56When we lived here full time,
00:24:58we used to lounge around
00:24:59all afternoon,
00:25:00you know,
00:25:01it seems like a million years ago.
00:25:04When I was a little girl,
00:25:06Maya Barbie used to live
00:25:07in a high-rise apartment,
00:25:08just like this one,
00:25:09and she'd jump off balcony
00:25:11into a swimming pool
00:25:1240 stories below.
00:25:14Yeah,
00:25:14in retrospect,
00:25:15it's probably kind of dangerous,
00:25:17but she was a little bit
00:25:18of a slut anyway.
00:25:19She'd sleep with any kids
00:25:20she could get her hands on.
00:25:21So did you move out
00:25:25after your baby was born?
00:25:26Yes.
00:25:27Yeah.
00:25:30It was not easy.
00:25:31You know,
00:25:32I love this place.
00:25:33You know,
00:25:34I had this before
00:25:35I was married,
00:25:35you know.
00:25:36This was my first real estate.
00:25:39So this was like,
00:25:40like your bachelor's pad,
00:25:42huh?
00:25:42Yeah,
00:25:43I guess you could say that.
00:25:44but,
00:25:46uh,
00:25:47I wasn't much of a ladies' man,
00:25:49if that's what you're thinking.
00:25:51Seriously?
00:25:53What?
00:25:54Oh,
00:25:55not a nothing.
00:25:56Just pretty smooth
00:25:58for someone
00:25:58who isn't a ladies' man.
00:26:00Ha!
00:26:01All right,
00:26:02if you think I'm smooth,
00:26:03you still have Irish whiskey
00:26:04coursing through your veins.
00:26:06Um,
00:26:07I'm actually pretty shy.
00:26:10Well,
00:26:10you haven't been shy tonight.
00:26:12Well,
00:26:12you've held up
00:26:13your end of the conversation.
00:26:15I never shut up
00:26:16is what you mean.
00:26:18Such a kid.
00:26:20Oh.
00:26:21You know,
00:26:21I'd love to see the roof sometime.
00:26:24Yeah.
00:26:24Actually,
00:26:25it's closed now,
00:26:26unfortunately.
00:26:28Has anyone ever
00:26:29jumped off the roof?
00:26:30Nothing I'm aware of.
00:26:32Well,
00:26:32have you ever thought about it?
00:26:33I mean,
00:26:33you know,
00:26:33what it would feel like?
00:26:35Because I think about it sometimes,
00:26:36but of course,
00:26:37I'd never do it
00:26:37because I'm a total coward.
00:26:39Um,
00:26:39I mean,
00:26:40I'm afraid
00:26:40that I'd change my mind.
00:26:42Like,
00:26:42what if I was all depressed
00:26:43and something
00:26:44and then,
00:26:45like,
00:26:45I'd jump off some balcony
00:26:46and then
00:26:47halfway down,
00:26:48I,
00:26:49I remember something wonderful.
00:26:52Yes.
00:26:53Life can change on a dime,
00:26:55you know?
00:26:56Like,
00:26:57one minute,
00:26:57you're all
00:26:58depressed and everything,
00:27:00and then the next,
00:27:02you meet someone new
00:27:03and
00:27:03everything changes.
00:27:09Do you want something to drink?
00:27:11Sure.
00:27:12I don't have any whiskey,
00:27:13but I think we've got some wine.
00:27:17Okay,
00:27:17what,
00:27:17are you going to have some?
00:27:19Yeah,
00:27:19yeah,
00:27:19I'll have a glass.
00:27:21Okay.
00:27:22Well.

00:28:14and,
00:28:15so anyway,
00:28:16she brought home a case of this stuff,
00:28:17and,
00:28:17I swiped a couple bottles
00:28:19for my late nights alone,
00:28:20but,
00:28:22I'm actually really a beer and pretzel guy,
00:28:24myself,
00:28:25but,
00:28:25I like this stuff at night,
00:28:28you know,

00:28:57you'd die.
00:28:57Oh,
00:28:58I'm sure it's lovely.
00:28:59No,
00:28:59seriously,
00:28:59it's a pit.
00:29:00Like,
00:29:00we got all our furniture
00:29:01from the Salvation Army.
00:29:02Doesn't your dad help you out?
00:29:04Oh,
00:29:04no,
00:29:05that's a,
00:29:05that's a whole nother story.
00:29:07Well,
00:29:08there's nothing wrong
00:29:08with a little youthful poverty.
00:29:10Yeah,
00:29:10but youthful wealth
00:29:11is even better.
00:29:14Uh-oh.
00:29:16That'll be Stephanie.
00:29:18Oh,
00:29:19crap.
00:29:20Want me to take it?
00:29:21Oh,
00:29:21God,
00:29:21no.
00:29:22No,
00:29:22she'd call the cops.
00:29:23That'd be kind of funny,
00:29:24though.
00:29:25Uh,
00:29:26no,
00:29:26she'd think I'm such a slut,
00:29:27you know,
00:29:28have dinner with one guy,
00:29:29go home with another.
00:29:30Something I've never done,
00:29:31anyway.
00:29:32I'll just,
00:29:33uh,
00:29:34I'll send her a text.
00:29:36What are you gonna say?
00:29:38Um,
00:29:40overnight
00:29:40with Jen,
00:29:43I will see you
00:29:44in the morning.
00:29:46Oh,
00:29:47gosh.
00:29:56This feels like high school,
00:29:57you know,
00:29:57like,
00:29:58like lying to my dad.
00:29:59I mean,
00:30:00not that,
00:30:00not that we really care.
00:30:02Hey,
00:30:03you know what you should do?
00:30:04You should let me move in here.
00:30:06Yeah,
00:30:06I could be like a full-time house sitter
00:30:08and you wouldn't even have to pay me.
00:30:12Actually,
00:30:13Patty wants to sell this place,
00:30:14but I think your idea
00:30:15is much more practical.
00:30:16What?
00:30:17No,
00:30:17God,
00:30:17that,
00:30:18that's a terrible idea.
00:30:19She says that we could pay
00:30:21for Charlie's college
00:30:22with the money
00:30:22that we're gonna save
00:30:23on private taxes.
00:30:25That's just silly.
00:30:26I mean,
00:30:26college is overrated.
00:30:28You know,
00:30:28look at me,
00:30:28like,
00:30:29I've got an Ivy League education
00:30:30and,
00:30:30and I'm barely employable.
00:30:33God,
00:30:33I can't believe she wants to sell.
00:30:36Mm,
00:30:36she's probably trying
00:30:37to erase your past, right?
00:30:39Mm,
00:30:40yeah,
00:30:40it's not like that.
00:30:41Well,
00:30:42are you sure?
00:30:42Because I've got girlfriends
00:30:43who do that,
00:30:44you know,
00:30:44they just,
00:30:44they get a boyfriend
00:30:45and then they,
00:30:46they scrub
00:30:46and they scrub
00:30:47and they scrub
00:30:47until he's all shiny and new.
00:30:50Gotta erase the history.
00:30:51Yeah,
00:30:52Patty and I have been married
00:30:53for,
00:30:54for 14 years.
00:30:55She is my history.
00:30:59Oh my gosh.
00:31:12Is this your dad?
00:31:14Yep.
00:31:15You look just like him.
00:31:16Do people tell you that a lot?
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:19Oh.
00:31:21Oh my gosh.
00:31:23Were you in the army?
00:31:24Yeah,
00:31:25that's just outside of Baghdad.
00:31:26Whoa.
00:31:27That's so cool.
00:31:30What's cool about it?
00:31:32I don't know,
00:31:33it's just,
00:31:33it's just cool,
00:31:34that's all.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:38Aw,
00:31:39are these your sisters?
00:31:40Yeah,
00:31:40that's, uh,
00:31:41Catherine and Janie.
00:31:43Are they older or younger?
00:31:46Well,
00:31:46can you tell?
00:31:48I don't want to get in trouble.
00:31:50Go ahead.
00:31:50I'm terrible at this,
00:31:56but I'm going to say
00:31:57that they are
00:31:59older.
00:32:01Mm-hmm.
00:32:02Good answer.
00:32:03Mm-hmm.
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:04Wrong.
00:32:05But that was very nicely played.
00:32:10So you're a big brother.
00:32:12I could have totally guessed that.
00:32:14You totally give off
00:32:15this big brother vibe.
00:32:16What does that mean?
00:32:18Well,
00:32:18it's nothing bad.
00:32:19I mean,
00:32:19it just means
00:32:19you're protected.
00:32:21Mm-hmm.
00:32:22God,
00:32:23I'm embarrassing myself.
00:32:25Whoa, whoa.
00:32:27Whoa.
00:32:29Who are these two?
00:32:30Those are my nieces.
00:32:31Those are Janie's girls.
00:32:33Hmm.
00:32:33They're in middle school.
00:32:36They stay with me
00:32:37in the summer sometimes.
00:32:38They, uh,
00:32:39since their father left,
00:32:41I like to give Janie a break,
00:32:42you know?
00:32:44That's nice.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:45They're having some trouble,
00:32:46though.
00:32:47They're, uh,
00:32:49I don't know,
00:32:49adrift,
00:32:50I guess you could say.
00:32:52They don't recognize
00:32:52their own potential,
00:32:53and, uh,
00:32:55they're kind of angry
00:32:56all the time.
00:32:57So,
00:32:57I try to help them.
00:33:02I mean,
00:33:02I try to tell them
00:33:03that they can,
00:33:04they can be whatever
00:33:05they want.
00:33:05If you apply yourself
00:33:06and you work really hard,
00:33:09there's no limits
00:33:10to what you can achieve,
00:33:11but I think,
00:33:14I don't know,
00:33:14I kind of sound corny,
00:33:15you know?
00:33:16But they're really sweet
00:33:19with Charlie,
00:33:19and they're very maternal.
00:33:22So,
00:33:24hmm.
00:33:25Yeah.
00:33:25What?
00:33:29Nothing.
00:33:31You have a look
00:33:32on your face.
00:33:33Hmm.
00:33:34Nothing.
00:33:35Can I see your hand?
00:33:42What?
00:33:43Your hand.
00:33:48Okay.
00:33:49I'll sit this way.
00:33:55What are you going to read
00:33:59in my palm?
00:34:01I learned this
00:34:02at college.
00:34:05They taught you
00:34:06palmistry at Yale?
00:34:07No, okay.
00:34:07I had a friend
00:34:08whose mom did this
00:34:09for living.
00:34:09Now, quiet.
00:34:10You're distracting me.
00:34:12Hmm.
00:34:14Okay.
00:34:16This hand
00:34:17shows all the qualities
00:34:18that you were born with,
00:34:19and this hand
00:34:19shows all the qualities
00:34:20that you've accumulated
00:34:21throughout your life.
00:34:22And for girls,
00:34:23it's the other way around.
00:34:25And this
00:34:27is your heart line.
00:34:31And this is your fate line.
00:34:35Not everybody has this.
00:34:39Do you believe in destiny?
00:34:43I don't know.
00:34:44I do.
00:34:48And your fate line
00:34:49is deep.
00:34:51Which means that you
00:34:52are strongly controlled
00:34:54by destiny.
00:35:02You're there again.
00:35:04What?
00:35:06Oh, you just did.
00:35:06Jack.
00:35:15It's getting late.
00:35:18Let me grab you
00:35:19some linens.
00:35:24Jack,
00:35:25I didn't mean
00:35:26to make you uncomfortable.
00:35:27Emma, it's late,
00:35:35and I've had a few drinks.
00:35:37Yeah, no, I understand.
00:35:39So,
00:35:40those should fit.
00:35:42You can go ahead
00:35:42and put them on
00:35:43in the bathroom,
00:35:43and I'll make up the sofa.
00:35:47Okay.
00:35:49Okay.
00:35:50I'm sorry.
00:35:53I'm sorry.
00:36:15I'm sorry.
00:36:45Mm-hmm, I just stayed in.
00:36:49These are random.
00:36:54I had bought those for Patty, but she hasn't worn them yet.
00:36:57Oh, well, they're very comfy.
00:36:59Okay.
00:37:00So, can I get you anything else?
00:37:02No, I think I'm finally getting sleepy.
00:37:06Yeah, me too.
00:37:07Hey, thanks for doing this.
00:37:09It's been a really fun night.
00:37:11You're welcome.
00:37:12Yeah, I knew that this night was going to be special after all, so...
00:37:18Yeah.
00:37:20I'll see you in the morning.
00:37:21Okay.
00:37:22Okay.
00:37:23Okay.
00:37:24Okay.
00:37:25Okay.
00:37:27Okay.
00:37:28Okay.
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:30Okay.
00:37:31Okay.
00:38:01Hey, Jack?
00:38:20Uh, I don't want to bug you.
00:38:22Uh, it's okay.
00:38:23Um, it's just, I'm a little chilly, and I didn't know if I could get an extra blanket.
00:38:28Yeah, of course.
00:38:32I'm so sorry.
00:38:33I should have checked to make sure.
00:38:34Oh, no, it's fine.
00:38:35Can I ask you a question?
00:38:38Yeah, go ahead.
00:38:39Well, it's not so much a question.
00:38:45I'm really attracted to you.
00:38:50Aren't you going to say anything?
00:38:52Like what?
00:38:53I don't know.
00:38:57Listen.
00:38:58I know that nothing can happen.
00:39:00How about...
00:39:02I just, I really, I really like you.
00:39:11You're such a good man.
00:39:13Can we just guess one time?
00:39:21I know that nothing can happen.
00:39:22Oh, my God.
00:39:29Oh, my God.
00:39:34Sure.
00:40:04You're up early.
00:40:19Yeah, um, I gotta get going.
00:40:23Listen, um...
00:40:26Oh, look, you don't need to be uncomfortable.
00:40:28I know, I just...
00:40:30I owe you an apology.
00:40:34Um, no, this isn't...
00:40:37It's a tragedy.
00:40:38I know, it's...
00:40:40Listen, I shouldn't have let it happen last night,
00:40:43and I messed up.
00:40:46Well, it's fine, okay?
00:40:48And it's not your fault.
00:40:49I mean, we were both there, and look,
00:40:51we didn't, like, murder somebody, you know?
00:40:54We're human beings who made a mistake.
00:40:56Emma, I love my wife and my son.
00:41:00He's the most important person to me in the entire world.
00:41:03Okay?
00:41:04Do you understand?
00:41:05I mean, I'm not just saying this.
00:41:07You seem like a really, really nice person.
00:41:10Well, can we just...
00:41:11Can we get to breakfast?
00:41:12Okay?
00:41:13You mean you must be hungry?
00:41:14You know, we don't have anything here.
00:41:16Well, that's all right.
00:41:17We can...
00:41:18We can go out.
00:41:19I really have to go.
00:41:20Come on.
00:41:21You must be starving.
00:41:22Um, Charlie, he's got swimming today,
00:41:27and I just have to do drop-off,
00:41:29and I got to do pick-up, so...
00:41:33Okay.
00:41:36I'm sorry.
00:41:37No, listen, it's fine.
00:41:38It's what I'm trying to tell you, okay?
00:41:39Like, I'm not one of those girls
00:41:41who just, like, expects something, right?
00:41:43Like, we had a fun night together, and...
00:41:45and that's that.
00:41:46Like, whatever.
00:41:47Life goes on.
00:41:48I know.
00:41:49Is my dress in the bathroom?
00:41:51Um, yeah.
00:41:52Oh, your phone's again.
00:41:53Hi.
00:41:54Hi.
00:41:55Hi.
00:42:12Emma?
00:42:18Is that your wife?
00:42:19Yeah, I...
00:42:20I'll call her later.
00:42:22Hey, can I at least, uh, give you a ride home?
00:42:24No, I'll just keep the bus.
00:42:25Um, it's been a big deal.
00:42:27I'm gonna have a chair, and...
00:42:29you're in a hurry.
00:42:30Listen.
00:42:31Will you just relax, okay?
00:42:33Your wife's never gonna find out, and...
00:42:35I'm perfectly fine, so...
00:42:36no harm done.
00:42:37You'll probably think about me every night
00:42:38for the rest of your life.
00:42:39That's your punishment.
00:42:41Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm.
00:42:42You're hate of your jams.
00:42:43All right.
00:42:44Can I...
00:42:45Can I at least just...
00:42:46Can I get you a cab for...
00:42:47No, God.
00:42:48That'd be weird.
00:42:49I take the bus all the time.
00:42:50Seriously.
00:42:51It's good.
00:42:52Mm-mm.
00:42:53Hey, listen, um,
00:42:55you wouldn't want my phone number, would you?
00:43:00Oh, my God.
00:43:01I'm a fucking idiot.
00:43:02Um, you don't have to walk me out.
00:43:03I'll just...
00:43:04I'll find my way.
00:43:12Hi, sweetie.
00:43:14Yeah, it's me.
00:43:17No, I'm fine.
00:43:21I was in the shower.
00:43:29All right, I'm coming home.
00:43:30Hello?
00:43:31Hi.
00:43:32Is this Harry Rich?
00:43:33Uh, no.
00:43:34Oh, well, I'm calling for Harry Rich.
00:43:35Uh, sorry.
00:43:36I think you have the wrong number.
00:43:37I don't...
00:43:38Is your house warm or cold?
00:43:39Uh, why do you ask?
00:43:40I don't know.
00:43:41You sound like someone who would keep their house pretty cold.
00:43:43I could be wrong, but that's just kind of a vibe I get from your voice.
00:43:46I do actually like cold.
00:43:47Do you?
00:43:48What temperature do you keep it at?
00:43:49Yeah.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:5168 is like the coldest when I'm sleeping.
00:43:52Oh, my gosh.
00:43:53You're a psychopath.
00:43:54Who keeps it at 68?
00:43:55I keep mine at 72.
00:43:56You sound like a 72.
00:43:57Have you ever cheated?
00:43:58I have the...
00:43:59I can't tell if I have a vibe I get from your voice?
00:44:00I mean, I do actually like cold.
00:44:01Do you?
00:44:02What temperature do you keep it at?
00:44:0368 is like the coldest when I'm sleeping.
00:44:06Oh, my gosh.
00:44:07You're a psychopath.
00:44:08Who keeps it at 68?
00:44:09I keep mine at 72.
00:44:11You sound like a 72.
00:44:12Have you ever cheated?
00:44:13Hi, thank you.
00:44:28Oh, my God.
00:44:37Oh, wow, I can't believe this.
00:44:41Um, what are you doing here?
00:44:43Um, I'm having a cup of coffee.
00:44:45Yeah.
00:44:46No, I mean, obviously, it's just...
00:44:49Oh, God, it's so weird to see you.
00:44:51What has it been?
00:44:52Ten months?
00:44:53Yeah, something like that.
00:44:56I was going to call you one time.
00:44:57Um, just to apologize.
00:44:59Don't worry.
00:45:00Apologize for what?
00:45:02Oh, come on.
00:45:03I mean, I was in such a weird place that night.
00:45:06I probably should have been on something, like...
00:45:08Zoloft or whatever.
00:45:10Are you on something now?
00:45:11No. Why? Am I acting weird?
00:45:14No, I probably am. I'm such a basket.
00:45:15No, no, no, no, no, you're fine.
00:45:19I found your number at night.
00:45:21I mean, I never did call, obviously.
00:45:24I thought it might be kind of weird, like...
00:45:26I don't know.
00:45:27What if your wife answered, right?
00:45:29You know, it would have been okay.
00:45:32Really?
00:45:33Yeah, I mean, I get a lot of calls,
00:45:35and I work with a lot of women, so...
00:45:39Well, I didn't know that.
00:45:40Yeah.
00:45:41But thank you for being discreet.
00:45:45When these things happen,
00:45:46it's better to just drop it off right at its head,
00:45:49you know,
00:45:50so nobody gets hurt.
00:45:56Anyway, I should probably get going.
00:45:58It was really good to see you.
00:46:00You too.
00:46:01You have to head back to work, huh?
00:46:03No, actually.
00:46:05Going home, I just need to bunch out.
00:46:06It's been a long day.
00:46:08Oh.
00:46:09Hey, what are you doing in the city anyway?
00:46:11It's Saturday.
00:46:12Aren't you supposed to be out, like,
00:46:13mowing your lawn or whatever?
00:46:14Yeah, no, that's what we do on Saturdays.
00:46:17No, I had to come into town
00:46:19and, you know, take care of some stuff.
00:46:21That's all, so...
00:46:23Yeah.
00:46:25Well, it was good to see you, Jack.
00:46:27It was really good to see you, too, Emma.
00:46:30So...
00:46:31Hey, listen.
00:46:35Can I buy you a cup of coffee?
00:46:38Coffee?
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:40I mean, if you're busy, that's totally fine.
00:46:43Um...
00:46:44No, I have a few minutes.
00:46:48Um...
00:46:48You really want to have coffee?
00:46:52Yeah, why not?
00:46:55Well, yeah, I guess.
00:46:57I'm just going to go punch out,
00:46:59and I'll be right back.
00:47:01Okay.
00:47:02Okay.
00:47:02Here I am.
00:47:18Get coffee for free here,
00:47:20so I'm pretty cheap date.
00:47:21You know, living large.
00:47:23Oh, my God.
00:47:23I'm so rude.
00:47:24I didn't even ask.
00:47:25Did you want me to get you more?
00:47:26No, no, no.
00:47:26I'm fine.
00:47:28This is my favorite part of the day.
00:47:32Just relaxing after a nice long shift.
00:47:35Hmm.
00:47:36So how long have you worked here?
00:47:38Mm, like two or three months, I guess.
00:47:40Not very long.
00:47:41It's a pretty good gig.
00:47:41So how's your roommate doing?
00:47:45My roommate?
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:46It was Stephanie, wasn't it?
00:47:48Wow.
00:47:49You got a good memory.
00:47:50Um, she moved out, actually.
00:47:52Um, she's getting married in the spring.
00:47:55Now I got to be a bridesmaid,
00:47:56which is a total trip.
00:47:58I mean, believe me,
00:47:58you should see these hideous dresses.
00:48:02So you're living alone now?
00:48:06No, actually.
00:48:07My boyfriend moved in.
00:48:09You're what?
00:48:09I know.
00:48:10My boyfriend?
00:48:12God, it sounds so weird to say.
00:48:14When did this happen?
00:48:15Uh, about four months ago.
00:48:17Wow.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:19So, how's it going?
00:48:22It's going pretty great.
00:48:23I don't want to jinx it.
00:48:26What's his name?
00:48:26This is embarrassing.
00:48:30Why?
00:48:31Why is it embarrassing?
00:48:32His name is Bill.
00:48:34But I call him William.
00:48:36His mother and I call him that.
00:48:38Oh, his mother does too?
00:48:40That's interesting.
00:48:41Okay, don't make fun.
00:48:42No, I'm not.
00:48:44So, um, how old is he?
00:48:47He's 25.
00:48:49He just turned 25 last week.
00:48:51Hmm.
00:48:52Boy, he sounds like a fine young man.
00:48:54Shut up.
00:48:55No, I'm just teasing.
00:48:57So, what's he do for a living?
00:49:00God, can we talk about something else, please?
00:49:04He's a consultant.
00:49:07What kind of consultant?
00:49:09Telecommunications.
00:49:10Yeah, he actually makes a lot of money.
00:49:11I mean, you know, at least compared to me.
00:49:13And he travels a lot, too.
00:49:16And he's been to China, like, six times.
00:49:18Yeah.
00:49:18And he also speaks a little Chinese, which is amazing to me, because, I mean, who the hell speaks Chinese?
00:49:25About 1.3 billion people.
00:49:27Okay, you know what I mean.
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:31So, where did you two meet?
00:49:34God.
00:49:35Um, this is just so weird.
00:49:39Um, we met in cooking class.
00:49:43We met in cooking class, preparing pastas.
00:49:47Really?
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:49Oh.
00:49:51What's wrong with that?
00:49:53There's nothing wrong with that.
00:49:54You're laughing.
00:49:56I am not laughing.
00:49:58All right, well, it was a good class, and we just, we started talking, and then started having each other over for dinner sometimes.
00:50:05And then you moved in together.
00:50:08Well, yeah.
00:50:10Does your father approve?
00:50:12Hmm.
00:50:13Come on, it's none of his business.
00:50:15I mean, they did meet once, though.
00:50:17William called him when they both had layovers in Atlanta.
00:50:19God, can you believe that?
00:50:21Believe what?
00:50:23That William would call him.
00:50:25It's just, he's, he's so nice.
00:50:28You know, he's way nicer than me, and he just, he wants everybody to get along.
00:50:31It's not that he's a pushover or anything, though.
00:50:34He, he gets mad sometimes, but it's not.
00:50:38What's, what's he get mad about?
00:50:39Oh, nothing.
00:50:40Just normal stuff.
00:50:43You know, he was on TV once.
00:50:45He was coming home from a basketball game, and there was this big fight, and this guy, he got stabbed, and then they interviewed him on Channel 9.
00:50:52Wow.
00:50:52Yeah, he was like a big celebrity.
00:50:54We recorded the interview, and had all our friends over from cooking class.
00:50:58We had different pastas, and wines, and, meh.
00:51:02God, it was such a blast.
00:51:03Well, that sounds like fun.
00:51:05It does, so.
00:51:06What happened to the guy?
00:51:08What guy?
00:51:09The one that got stabbed.
00:51:11Oh.
00:51:12Yeah, he died.
00:51:13I mean, William sent his family money, you know, in lieu of flowers.
00:51:17Hmm.
00:51:18It was nice.
00:51:19So, so are you guys going to get married?
00:51:21Oh.
00:51:25I don't know.
00:51:26We haven't, we haven't talked about that.
00:51:29Really?
00:51:30Why?
00:51:31Is that weird?
00:51:32No, I mean, you lived together.
00:51:33I mean, the subject hasn't even come up.
00:51:35Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
00:51:39I don't remember.
00:51:40Hmm.
00:51:41I guess that is just a little weird, huh?
00:51:46I mean, I don't.
00:51:48Well, we haven't really known each other that long.
00:51:50That's, that's true.
00:51:51And I don't want to be the one who, you know, brings it up.
00:51:55Okay.
00:51:57What do you mean by that?
00:52:00Nothing.
00:52:01It obviously meant something.
00:52:03Well, I mean, you clearly want to get married, which, which is fine.
00:52:07I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:52:08But you don't think that, that he does?
00:52:11Well, I, I don't know.
00:52:13Well, I think he does.
00:52:16It's just, it's complicated.
00:52:17Yeah.
00:52:18That's all.
00:52:19Well, look, you know what, it's none of my best.
00:52:21His parents don't like me.
00:52:24Why did you say that?
00:52:27Because they don't trust me.
00:52:29Oh.
00:52:30I'd like to meet him sometime.
00:52:36I'm sorry, what are you talking about?
00:52:38No, your boyfriend.
00:52:40I would like, I'd like to meet him.
00:52:42Uh, yeah, no, that's not gonna happen.
00:52:45Why not?
00:52:46I mean, I'm, I'm an old friend.
00:52:49Well, you're old anyway.
00:52:52What?
00:52:52I'm teasing.
00:52:56Do you have a picture?
00:52:59What for?
00:52:59So I can see what he looks like?
00:53:03Uh, yeah.
00:53:08Let me find a good one.
00:53:12That was funny.
00:53:13Here's a good one.
00:53:21Here you go.
00:53:22Oh, wow.
00:53:23Yeah, he's pretty tall.
00:53:25Yeah.
00:53:25How tall is he?
00:53:26He's huge.
00:53:27He's like six foot three.
00:53:28Oh.
00:53:29Uh, fraternity boy?
00:53:31What difference does it make?
00:53:32I was just, I'm just curious.
00:53:34So, what school did he go to?
00:53:37Wisconsin.
00:53:38He played football.
00:53:39And, God, what are you, writing a novel?
00:53:41Hey, what are you doing?
00:53:44Give me that.
00:53:46I was just being nosy.
00:53:47Well, you shouldn't go through people's pictures without asking.
00:53:50Hey, how's, um, Wrong Numbers?
00:53:55That's the name of your blog, right?
00:53:58I can't believe you remember that.
00:54:01Absolutely.
00:54:02You haven't posted much lately.
00:54:03Wait, seriously?
00:54:04You've been reading my blog?
00:54:05Yeah, yeah.
00:54:06I love it.
00:54:06I mean, it's, you're so talented.
00:54:09You know, the one about the guy who thought you were his sister?
00:54:16Yeah.
00:54:17Oh, my God.
00:54:18Wasn't that crazy?
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20God, they must have such a weird relationship when, you know, that conversation, everything
00:54:24was practically verbatim.
00:54:25Like, I just wrote down exactly what he said.
00:54:28Even the part about the dog?
00:54:30Yeah.
00:54:31Wow.
00:54:31When he said that, I was like, oh, my God, this is wonderful.
00:54:36I can't wait to get this online.
00:54:39So, what did you do after?
00:54:40Did you, like, did you call him?
00:54:42No.
00:54:42That wouldn't be a wrong number.
00:54:44I have my principles here now.
00:54:47God, I can't believe you removed my blog.
00:54:51Yeah.
00:54:51That's so cool.
00:54:53Yeah, but what have you been doing?
00:54:54You haven't posted in, like, two months.
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:58Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:59I've just been busy, that's all.
00:55:03What, pouring coffee?
00:55:06Amongst other things.
00:55:08You know, blogging isn't exactly a lucrative gig.
00:55:12Yeah, but, I mean, you love it.
00:55:17Well, I guess so.
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:21So, what does William think?
00:55:23What does William think about what?
00:55:25About your blog.
00:55:27Oh.
00:55:27I don't know.
00:55:29We don't really talk about it.
00:55:31Yeah, I'm getting kind of bored of it anyway.
00:55:34Oh, come on.
00:55:35No, you're not.
00:55:36God, don't be such a no-at-all.
00:55:38Yeah, it's just the same thing over and over again.
00:55:42Is that what William says?
00:55:44I don't know.
00:55:45We don't talk about it.
00:55:46What's the big deal anyway?
00:55:49Just asking.
00:55:50William is very conservative, so we talk about lots of other things.
00:55:56I just, I don't think he gets it.
00:55:58Hmm.
00:55:59Yeah, I don't know what there is to get.
00:56:02Okay, can we talk about something else, please?
00:56:05So, what are you going to do?
00:56:08What do you mean?
00:56:09Well, I mean, for a career, you know?
00:56:11Like, you need to make money, right?
00:56:14I mean, professional barista.
00:56:18What's wrong with that?
00:56:19Don't be such a snob.
00:56:20Well, how about that?
00:56:21I'm just, you're so talented.
00:56:23No, please.
00:56:24No, I'm serious.
00:56:24I mean, I think you'll be very, very successful.
00:56:29Doing what?
00:56:31Well, just about anything.
00:56:34Maybe I'll run for Congress.
00:56:36Absolutely.
00:56:38You would have my vote.
00:56:41I'm serious.
00:56:42You know what?
00:56:42I have something for you.
00:56:44You should come in for an interview.
00:56:46Sorry, what are you talking about?
00:56:48Yeah, I mean, we have a couple openings.
00:56:52What, would I be, like, a secretary?
00:56:55We don't have secretaries.
00:56:57What are you, 100 years old?
00:56:58What would I be doing, then?
00:57:00You'd be an account executive.
00:57:04What's that?
00:57:04Well, I mean, you take care of clients.
00:57:06You overlook relationships, arrange appointments.
00:57:11You go to lunches and dinners, you know,
00:57:15sometimes the theater or ball game.
00:57:18You have an expense account.
00:57:20You travel a little bit.
00:57:21That doesn't sound like a real job.
00:57:23Well, it is.
00:57:24I'd go to lunch.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:30I love going to lunch.
00:57:31I see.
00:57:33You'd be perfect.
00:57:35Yeah, I doubt that.
00:57:37Well, you know, it's mostly...
00:57:38It's mostly hand-holding, anyway.
00:57:42Come on, are you joking?
00:57:44Mm-mm.
00:57:45Hand-holding?
00:57:45Yeah.
00:57:46What, would I be reading their palms?
00:57:47Uh, probably not.
00:57:53God, you...
00:57:54You're so full of shit.
00:57:56What, I'd work for you?
00:57:57You'd be my boss, I guess?
00:57:58No.
00:57:59I mean, maybe with some clients, but, you know.
00:58:02I mean...
00:58:03Where is this coming from?
00:58:08It's not coming from anywhere.
00:58:10Come on.
00:58:11Offering me a job out of the blue?
00:58:13It's not out of the blue.
00:58:16It's been almost a year.
00:58:17I know.
00:58:18I mean, I've been thinking about you, and...
00:58:21What do you mean?
00:58:25I've been thinking about you.
00:58:28Like what?
00:58:29Do you have, like, a guilty conscience or something?
00:58:31Do you think our one night together ruined me forever?
00:58:34No.
00:58:35Well, good, because I'm doing great.
00:58:36I can tell.
00:58:37I have a boyfriend who loves me.
00:58:39I'm happy, and...
00:58:41You know, I love working here.
00:58:43I do.
00:58:43I...
00:58:44I love the smell, and I love the feeling of, uh...
00:58:47of a warm cup on a cold day.
00:58:49Okay.
00:58:50I don't need to be rescued.
00:58:51Yeah.
00:58:52I know that.
00:58:55I understand.
00:58:59You know, the truth is, I know what I want to do besides blogging.
00:59:02You do?
00:59:03Mm-hmm.
00:59:04But I'm not going to tell you, because you'll laugh at me.
00:59:07I will not.
00:59:09But you promised.
00:59:11I'm not tomorrow.
00:59:13Okay.
00:59:13I want to open a restaurant.
00:59:15Just...
00:59:15Just something small.
00:59:17Just pastas and salads and desserts and some good wines.
00:59:22You see, I'm not laughing.
00:59:24Yeah, William and I, we talk about it all the time.
00:59:26He'll handle the business side of things, and I'll cook.
00:59:29We even have this place picked out over in Armitage,
00:59:31and there's a bookstore next door,
00:59:33and there's a little bakery across the street.
00:59:35I mean, that's where we'll get our bread.
00:59:37It's fresh.
00:59:38Mm-hmm.
00:59:39That sounds really great.
00:59:40Yeah, of course, you know, we don't have the money,
00:59:42because rents are unbelievable, and, you know,
00:59:45I don't know if I'm...
00:59:47I'm ready yet.
00:59:50But I have a...
00:59:51I have a couple good dishes,
00:59:52but I think I need, like, seven or eight, you know?
00:59:54Things you can't get anywhere else, like...
00:59:56Like, really good ones.
00:59:58I don't want to be one of those restaurants that are boring.
01:00:00And William says that we need at least 25 tables to break even,
01:00:05but I just...
01:00:06I think that's way too much.
01:00:08I mean, don't you?
01:00:08Because I like places that are really, really intimate.
01:00:12And I want to be one of those chefs that...
01:00:14that comes out and talks to all of her customers.
01:00:18Because when I'm cooking, I just feel so...
01:00:21maternal.
01:00:24Hmm.
01:00:26I can't believe I said that.
01:00:27Uh, I say the dumbest things when you are around.
01:00:31I mean, William says that I have no filter,
01:00:33which, of course, is totally true.
01:00:35He gets mad at me sometimes.
01:00:37But at least this time I'm sober.
01:00:39It's about 100 times worse when I'm drinking.
01:00:43As you know.
01:00:48Well, I should really get going.
01:00:50I think I'm gonna cook.
01:00:51I need to get some groceries.
01:00:52Yeah.
01:00:55I really hope that you think about, you know,
01:00:58coming in for an interview.
01:00:58You know, you could...
01:01:01make some money to pay for the restaurant.
01:01:05Now, let me give you a card.
01:01:08Okay.
01:01:11Here.
01:01:14Mmm.
01:01:15Fancy schmancy.
01:01:16All right.
01:01:18Well, uh...
01:01:20It was...
01:01:22It was good to see you, Jeff.
01:01:25It was good to see you, too.
01:01:26Yeah.
01:01:27I guess I'll, uh...
01:01:29see you around.
01:01:31Yeah.
01:01:31I don't know.
01:01:32All right.
01:01:33Bye.
01:01:34So...
01:01:35Hey, Emma.
01:01:36Um...
01:01:36You said that you were gonna cook.
01:01:39Yeah.
01:01:40All right.
01:01:41What do you...
01:01:41What are you cooking?
01:01:43Um...
01:01:43Scampi, probably.
01:01:45Oh.
01:01:46Yeah.
01:01:46William doesn't like seafood, so...
01:01:47I like to make it when he's out of town.
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:50William's out of town?
01:01:52Yeah.
01:01:53He is in New Mexico.
01:01:54Business trip.
01:01:56Oh.
01:01:57The land of enchantment.
01:01:58That is right.
01:01:59Hey.
01:02:01Hey.
01:02:02I just thought of something.
01:02:03I know these, uh...
01:02:04People, they're investors, actually.
01:02:06They're in a couple restaurants downtown.
01:02:09And, uh...
01:02:09They love investing in small businesses.
01:02:12So...
01:02:13They've done really, really well.
01:02:14If you'd like...
01:02:16Yeah.
01:02:16I can introduce you.
01:02:18I'm sorry.
01:02:18Wait.
01:02:19Are you being serious?
01:02:20Yeah, yeah.
01:02:21But you have to have a business plan.
01:02:22No, yeah.
01:02:23Of course.
01:02:23I think William has already done all that.
01:02:25I mean, he's got all these spreadsheets and everything.
01:02:28Wait.
01:02:28Do you really think that they...
01:02:29Like, invest in us?
01:02:31Yeah.
01:02:31Yeah.
01:02:31But, you know, they're always looking for opportunities, so...
01:02:34Oh, my God.
01:02:34No, that would be amazing.
01:02:36Like, oh, God.
01:02:37I have all these ideas, you know?
01:02:39And I get all these restaurant catalogs.
01:02:41It's just like pornography for me, you know?
01:02:43It's because it's such a fantasy.
01:02:44It's amazing.
01:02:45And...
01:02:45What?
01:02:46What are you smiling about?
01:02:47No, it's great.
01:02:48It's awesome.
01:02:48I mean, you're just...
01:02:49You're just...
01:02:49You're so energized.
01:02:51Well, I can't believe you do this.
01:02:53Why?
01:02:54Come on.
01:02:55I mean, we barely know each other.
01:02:57You've never even tasted my cooking.
01:02:58It could be...
01:02:59What?
01:03:00Listen!
01:03:01No, I'm cooking.
01:03:02You know?
01:03:03Are you hungry?
01:03:03I don't know if you have anywhere to be, but if you don't and you're hungry...
01:03:06Yeah, I could eat.
01:03:08That's for sure.
01:03:08Okay, great.
01:03:09I need to stop at the grocery store.
01:03:11Okay.
01:03:12Yeah.
01:03:12And you like seafood, right?
01:03:13I love seafood.
01:03:15Oh, I should probably get a bottle of wine, too.
01:03:16Okay.
01:03:17I'll bring it.
01:03:25All right.
01:03:26Watch this step.
01:03:27These stairs are deadly.
01:03:29Okay.
01:03:29All right.
01:03:35Ta-da.
01:03:36Here we are.
01:03:36Sorry for the mess.
01:03:37Oh, come on.
01:03:38It's fine.
01:03:40Well, this is how the other half lived anyway.
01:03:44Oh, sorry.
01:03:44I gotta just lock the door.
01:03:47We had a break-in a few months ago, so we're a little paranoid now.
01:03:51Oh, my God.
01:03:51Was anybody home?
01:03:52No.
01:03:53Luckily, nobody was home.
01:03:54They did trash the place, though, and they stole Williams' TV.
01:03:57He went out and bought a gun right after, which, like, of course, it totally freaks me out
01:04:02because, well, I'm pretty sure he'd use it if they ever came back.
01:04:05Did you want a glass of wine?
01:04:07Okay.
01:04:07Sure.
01:04:09Not that I blame him, though, particularly, because, I mean, you know, when it all happened,
01:04:14I was pretty scared.
01:04:15But then I just got furious, you know?
01:04:17Like, it's just...
01:04:18God, it's such a violation.
01:04:20And, you know, I don't know.
01:04:22I just want to see them dead.
01:04:24And I've never felt that way about anybody.
01:04:27Um, hey, I'm going to save that bottle that you bought for dinner, okay?
01:04:30Yeah, sure, whatever you want.
01:04:32You're the chef.
01:04:39Mm-hmm.
01:04:41Here you go.
01:04:43Yeah.
01:04:43You're not going to have any?
01:04:44Eh, probably not.
01:04:45Probably have some of them eat.
01:04:48Wow, okay.
01:04:50Well, it's probably for the best, don't you think?
01:04:52Yeah, maybe so.
01:04:53Oh, God.
01:04:55You know, it's embarrassing how much I love to cook.
01:04:57I mean, my mother never cooked much when I was a child.
01:05:00Like, we'd go out to eat or got takeout pretty much every night of my childhood.
01:05:04Hmm.
01:05:04And sometimes she'd get two or three meals just so that we'd have leftovers and she wouldn't
01:05:09have to cook.
01:05:10God, I guess that was just the way she was wired.
01:05:12Not me, though.
01:05:13You know, to me, nothing feels more safe than coming home and cooking a nice, warm, comfortable
01:05:18meal.
01:05:19Oh.
01:05:21I like your place.
01:05:22Oh, come on.
01:05:23You do not.
01:05:24No, I do, really.
01:05:25It's cozy.
01:05:26You're going to look back on this fondly one day.
01:05:30Believe me.
01:05:31When, oh.
01:05:33What?
01:05:34Oh.
01:05:34Ha, ha.
01:05:36Uh, granted, you're going to look back at some things more.
01:05:38Oh, God.
01:05:38More fondly than others.
01:05:40Oh.
01:05:41Ah.
01:05:42Here.
01:05:43Oh, God.
01:05:45Like, how humiliating, right?
01:05:46You're probably second-guessing yourself.
01:05:48Oh, dinner in this dump, what have I gotten myself into?
01:05:50Not at all.
01:05:51I'm going to start the salad.
01:05:54So how well do you know these guys?
01:05:56What guys?
01:05:57The investors.
01:05:59Oh, they're former clients of mine.
01:06:01Um, it's a long story.
01:06:03So, well, you're good with a knife.
01:06:05Hmm.
01:06:06Don't try anything.
01:06:07Huh.
01:06:07Duly nutted.
01:06:08Wait, how old are they?
01:06:10I'm assuming that they're guys.
01:06:11Yeah, yeah, they're guys.
01:06:12They're, uh, I think they're about my age, I guess.
01:06:15Um, approximately.
01:06:16So they're old.
01:06:17So.
01:06:17Heh, teasing.
01:06:19Are they married?
01:06:20Yeah, one of them's married, and I think one of them's getting a divorce.
01:06:23But, um, I don't know.
01:06:24What difference does it make?
01:06:25Oh, no, no, no.
01:06:26I'm just curious.
01:06:27That's all.
01:06:28You know, I just, I feel like I want to be prepared.
01:06:31You know, like I want to know as much as I can.
01:06:33I mean, maybe this is the reason we met.
01:06:35Mm.
01:06:36What do you mean?
01:06:37So you can introduce me to these guys.
01:06:38I know that nothing is guaranteed.
01:06:41Like, maybe they won't like me.
01:06:42Maybe they won't like my cooking.
01:06:43But, I just, I have such a good feeling about this.
01:06:48And everything happens for a reason, right?
01:06:51Oh, my God.
01:06:51I'm so rude.
01:06:52I haven't even asked about you.
01:06:54How are you?
01:06:55How's your family?
01:06:57They're fine.
01:06:58That's it?
01:07:00Well.
01:07:00Well, what?
01:07:03Nothing.
01:07:03Oh, go on.
01:07:04You were going to say something.
01:07:05No, they're, they're fine.
01:07:07Spit it out.
01:07:10Emma, um, my wife and I, we got separated.
01:07:20What?
01:07:22Oh, my God.
01:07:23Are you serious?
01:07:25For how long?
01:07:27Yeah, it's been a couple of weeks.
01:07:29Oh, my God.
01:07:33What happened?
01:07:35You know, it wasn't just one thing.
01:07:39I just, I can't believe this.
01:07:43I mean, you said that you were happy.
01:07:46You said you were happily married.
01:07:49It's not that simple, though.
01:07:50Why not?
01:07:50It's because, I mean, things happen.
01:07:54Things change.
01:07:55They, this isn't some tragedy.
01:07:59I mean, marriages end every day.
01:08:01It's, I'm actually doing really well.
01:08:05I'm, are you crying?
01:08:09What about your son?
01:08:11What about him?
01:08:13He must, he must be so frightened.
01:08:16No, Emma, he's doing fine.
01:08:18He's, he's doing really well.
01:08:20He's, he's a strong kid.
01:08:22And I think this is a, a blessing, to tell you the truth.
01:08:28I mean, I think, for all of us.
01:08:30I mean, we're all still young enough to get on with our lives.
01:08:33Is this her idea?
01:08:36The separation?
01:08:38No.
01:08:40Then I, I doubt that it's a blessing.
01:08:45Well.
01:08:46Emma, there comes a point in your life when you, you think, is this it?
01:09:01Is this all there is?
01:09:03Oh, my God, I mean, what else do you want?
01:09:06You have everything.
01:09:08I know that it appears that way, but.
01:09:10What else is there?
01:09:11I want to be happy, like everybody else.
01:09:13You think everybody else is, is happy.
01:09:17No, no, that's not what I meant.
01:09:19I'm more to dream.
01:09:20I, I meant that we all want to be happy, you know?
01:09:26I mean, isn't that why we do what we do?
01:09:27Isn't that what motivates us?
01:09:29Well, please.
01:09:31I mean, you have responsibilities.
01:09:36Look, I want to be happy.
01:09:39I'm no different than anyone else.
01:09:41I'm no different than you.
01:09:43What am I supposed to apologize again?
01:09:47I've already done that.
01:09:52I, uh, I want to be honest with you about something.
01:09:56Running into you today was not entirely coincidental.
01:10:01I'm sorry, what are you saying?
01:10:03I'm saying that I knew that you were going to be there today.
01:10:10I just wanted to see you.
01:10:12I just wanted to talk to you again.
01:10:14What for?
01:10:14I've thought about you every night since we met.
01:10:18I don't, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:10:21The day after we, we met, you said that I would think about you every night for the rest of my life.
01:10:36Mm-hmm.
01:10:37That was my punishment.
01:10:39I don't remember saying that.
01:10:41No, you did.
01:10:42I was pretty drunk, remember?
01:10:46You were right.
01:10:47Have you tried counseling?
01:10:49What?
01:10:50Marital counseling.
01:10:52You and your wife, have you tried it?
01:10:57Um, no.
01:10:59What?
01:11:00Why, why are you smiling about that?
01:11:03Nothing.
01:11:09Listen, you didn't, you know, like, tell her, did you?
01:11:16Yeah, I did.
01:11:18My God.
01:11:20Why would you do that?
01:11:23She knew.
01:11:24She knew that, um, she knew something had happened.
01:11:28But my God, why would you do that?
01:11:30It was, it was one night.
01:11:31It was, it was over.
01:11:33It was nothing.
01:11:34Is that what it was for you?
01:11:36Yes.
01:11:38Well, that's not what it was for me.
01:11:39Jack.
01:11:39Listen, you don't have to say anything at all, okay?
01:11:41I just, I just wish, I wish that you could see yourself through my eyes.
01:11:46What are you talking about?
01:11:48Emma, you are the most exquisite person I have ever met in my entire life.
01:11:53I mean, you are, you're beautiful, you're smart, you're, you're funny.
01:11:57Okay, Jack.
01:11:58You're, I just want you to know how I feel.
01:11:59I'm, I'm just trying to process this.
01:12:10What are you doing?
01:12:12Nothing.
01:12:13I have a boyfriend.
01:12:16I'm finally happy, and he loves me.
01:12:20Do you love him?
01:12:22I, God, of course I do.
01:12:24You think I'm just this neurotic girl.
01:12:29No.
01:12:29Okay, well, I'm finally happy, okay?
01:12:32I finally have a boyfriend who loves me, and he's not crazy, and he's not married.
01:12:38Okay.
01:12:38He, he never buys me flowers, or jewelry, or takes me to expensive dinners, and he spends
01:12:44half of his time playing video games, and, you know, he forgets my birthday.
01:12:48These are good things?
01:12:49Yes.
01:12:51Because he's just normal.
01:12:54He is just a regular guy.
01:12:56He doesn't, he doesn't come in here and, and offer me jobs or investors.
01:13:01I mean, are those guys even real, by the way, or is that just something that you made up?
01:13:05Emma, come on.
01:13:06You know that I'm not like that.
01:13:07Oh, I do?
01:13:08How the hell do I know that?
01:13:10I barely know you.
01:13:12I mean, let me ask you something.
01:13:14When you saw me this afternoon at the coffee shop, how did you feel?
01:13:18I was excited.
01:13:30About what?
01:13:33I was excited to see you because I'm a fucking idiot.
01:13:39Oh, yeah.
01:13:40No, it's true.
01:13:41I'm, I'm a fucking idiot.
01:13:42I mean, I, I put myself in these situations, and I just, I ruin everything.
01:13:48Just, don't.
01:13:51Get out.
01:13:54Emma, we need to talk.
01:13:55God, what is there to talk about?
01:13:57Why are you doing this?
01:13:59Doing what?
01:14:00Ruining my fucking life.
01:14:02I mean, can't you see that I'm happy?
01:14:04You do not look happy.
01:14:05Well, I'm a fucking giant.
01:14:08I just, I just want to have a fucking normal life.
01:14:14I can give you that.
01:14:16Are you, are you fucking insane?
01:14:21You are married.
01:14:23You have a wife.
01:14:24You have a child.
01:14:26You're twice my age, and we got you just like my father.
01:14:30I do not say nothing.
01:14:31No, it's fucking true, and I let you out of here.
01:14:33Emma, don't be ridiculous.
01:14:34Get out now.
01:14:35Close the door.
01:14:36Get out now.
01:14:37Close the fucking door.
01:14:38Are you fucking insane?
01:14:38Get out now.
01:14:40Get out now.
01:14:40Get out now.
01:14:41Hey, you gotta calm down, okay?
01:14:43We need to talk this through.
01:14:45What the fuck is her to talk about?
01:14:46What is her talk?
01:14:47I just left my fucking wife.
01:14:49I left my son, all right?
01:14:51You owe me at least a couple of minutes.
01:14:54I owe you.
01:14:59Now I know that you are fucking insane.
01:15:03Listen to me.
01:15:04You started this.
01:15:06I started what?
01:15:06I would have never, ever spoken to you at the restaurant.
01:15:10I look over.
01:15:11You're a beautiful, beautiful young girl.
01:15:13I was minding my own business.
01:15:15No, no, no.
01:15:15You said that you were watching me.
01:15:17You said so yourself.
01:15:19You were wearing a dress.
01:15:20I wasn't for you.
01:15:21I was on a date.
01:15:23I know, but I was there.
01:15:24I was there.
01:15:27Well, I'm fucking sorry.
01:15:28Why'd you do it?
01:15:32Huh?
01:15:34Do what?
01:15:37Why did you talk to me?
01:15:39Hmm?
01:15:41Why did you invite yourself to my apartment?
01:15:45Why did you knock on my bedroom door?
01:15:47I said that I was sorry.
01:15:57I know that.
01:15:58I know, but I know you felt something that night.
01:15:59You know what?
01:16:00I always feel something.
01:16:01I'm fucking literal problem.
01:16:04You feel something right now?
01:16:06Yes, please.
01:16:07Please, stop.
01:16:08I asked you a question.
01:16:10What do you want me to say?
01:16:11Just stop.
01:16:12Just be honest.
01:16:13Yes.
01:16:18Yes.
01:16:20I feel something.
01:16:31Oh, God.
01:16:33Oh, God.
01:16:34If we do this, you have to promise me one thing.
01:16:37What?
01:16:38After it's...
01:16:40Oh.
01:16:42After it's, you'll go away.
01:16:44After it's, you'll go away, and you won't come back.
01:16:49Oh, God.
01:16:50What?
01:16:51I said I'll fuck you.
01:16:53After it's, you have to go away.
01:16:54Oh, fuck.
01:16:57Fuck.
01:16:58Sorry, Jack.
01:17:03Jesus.
01:17:04I said I'm sorry.
01:17:08Ima, you think this is about sex, right?
01:17:11Hmm?
01:17:15Yes.
01:17:15All my life, I have, uh, I've done the right thing.
01:17:27I have been a good husband.
01:17:28I've been a good son.
01:17:29I have been a good brother.
01:17:33I fought for my country.
01:17:35I came back.
01:17:36I worked my way up to the top of a multinational corporation.
01:17:40I am the definition of success by every definition of the word.
01:17:50Until I met you,
01:17:52I had no idea
01:17:56of who I was.
01:17:59None at all.
01:18:00Am I?
01:18:12How can I be a father to a son
01:18:15who has never once, not once,
01:18:19seen me happier?
01:18:20I mean, do you really,
01:18:23do you think that you're doing your son a favor
01:18:25by just by walking away from your family,
01:18:27by walking away from him?
01:18:29I mean, when are you gonna see him, Jack?
01:18:31Once a week, every other weekend?
01:18:34I know we've worked that out, okay?
01:18:36We've worked that out.
01:18:38I've spoken with him.
01:18:39He understands.
01:18:39Yeah, he understands what?
01:18:43He wants me to be happy.
01:18:45Oh, no, Jack.
01:18:47He wants you to be there.
01:18:51He's a little boy, okay?
01:18:54If you do this,
01:18:55I promise you that he's never gonna forgive you.
01:18:58Okay.
01:18:59Please don't talk to me about things
01:19:01that you do not understand.
01:19:03I'm not the one doing that.
01:19:06What about you?
01:19:07What about me?
01:19:09Do you think this is gonna make you happy, huh?
01:19:12This kind of life?
01:19:13No, what's wrong with this kind of life?
01:19:15Come on, Emma,
01:19:15you are not like the other girls.
01:19:17You are special.
01:19:17Oh, my God, don't fucking say that!
01:19:19Are you fucking happy?
01:19:24You know what?
01:19:26Maybe happiness doesn't come all at once.
01:19:30You know, maybe we just...
01:19:32we piece it together like a jigsaw puzzle.
01:19:37Emma, come on.
01:19:41Just stop.
01:19:43Don't you understand?
01:19:44I want...
01:19:45I want a husband,
01:19:46and I want babies,
01:19:48and I want a little house in the suburbs.
01:19:50I mean, I want all of the things
01:19:51that you just threw away.
01:19:53I know, but Emma,
01:19:53I can do the wrong stuff.
01:19:55No, stop!
01:19:56Oh, my God!
01:19:57I'm so sorry!
01:19:57God damn it!
01:19:59Oh, my God!

01:20:31of those investors,
01:20:32and they can just...
01:20:32Oh, God, no, please, please, please.
01:20:34Please don't bother with that.
01:20:35No, you said that's what you wanted
01:20:36more than anything else.
01:20:37It's fine.
01:20:40Because I want something
01:20:41doesn't mean I'm entitled to it.
01:20:43Okay, let me see your hand again.
01:20:46I'll be right.
01:20:47I got it.
01:20:48It's all right.
