00:00:00In the 20th century, if you wanted to know your neighbors, you moved to the suburbs.
00:00:26If you wanted to become an addict, you moved to New York.
00:00:30Now, everything's upside down. The junkies are in the burbs, and the building next door is a fucking kickball league.
00:00:38It was art against commerce, and commerce won.
00:00:42The kids think the only place to find art is in a gallery, and the only place to find romance is confessing your love in the rain, like in the movies.
00:00:51But it's messier than that. There's always mess.
00:00:57It's safe here now, but there's still urban decay.
00:01:01It's just migrated into the dinner parties of the Upper West Side.
00:01:06The best lack all conviction, while the worst are filled with passionate intensity.
00:01:11Yates said that, but so did Lou Reed, quoting him live at the bottom line.
00:01:18Lou Reed's gone, and so is the bottom line.
00:01:22It's probably a soul cycle, the only soul the city has left.
00:01:27Everyone's pretending it's all okay, but that's a lie.
00:01:33Something's missing, and we all feel it, including Thomas Webb.
00:01:39He thought he had the answer, and her name was Mimi.
00:01:421976. The city was dirty, crying red, and I'm broke.
00:01:50It was the center of the creative universe.
00:01:53New York's lost its soul.
00:01:55The most vibrant neighborhood at the moment is Philadelphia.
00:01:58I like that.
00:02:01Yeah?
00:02:02Yeah. Where'd you lift that from?
00:02:04I didn't. It's mine.
00:02:06Well, that's good.
00:02:07So, will you come with me tonight?
00:02:12No.
00:02:13Your mom's last dinner party made me feel invisible.
00:02:15I know, but we were invisible together.
00:02:18If you don't like it, then you don't go.
00:02:20I have to go.
00:02:21My mother's unstable.
00:02:23Throwing dinner parties is how she medicates.
00:02:24Yeah, so what about the lithium and Xanax?
00:02:26Not to mention the nicotine and Shiraz.
00:02:31Xanax.
00:02:35I have to tell you something.
00:02:36Yeah.
00:02:37Yeah.
00:02:39I might be going to Zagreb.
00:02:45Where?
00:02:46Zagreb.
00:02:47It's in Croatia.
00:02:50So, Helmut Graf, he runs a workshop there,
00:02:52and I found out that I can transfer my credits to NYU.
00:02:56That's, um...
00:02:58That's, um...
00:03:01Terrible.
00:03:04Why?
00:03:05No, why is that terrible?
00:03:08Because you're the only thing in my life that I'm settled on.
00:03:11Thomas, what do you think is happening?
00:03:13Between me and you, what do you think this is?
00:03:15August 8th.
00:03:17August 8th?
00:03:17I think August 8th was real.
00:03:19It was amazing.
00:03:20But it was just one night.
00:03:23I mean, Nick was playing L.A.
00:03:25I was vulnerable.
00:03:27We were both on Molly.
00:03:28I-I thought I was a pirate.
00:03:35And it was just one night.
00:03:38Well, I'm crazy about you.
00:03:40I'm crazy about you, but...
00:03:42But don't say it's friends.
00:03:43Why?
00:03:44Why is that so bad?
00:03:45Because pretty girls like to recruit their rejections,
00:03:47and they call them friends.
00:03:51Clap.
00:03:52For Mimi, Thomas was like the new New York.
00:04:21No danger.
00:04:24No deliverance.
00:04:25It made him nurturing and too boring to fall in love with.
00:04:30Mimi thought Thomas was a boy without mystery.
00:04:34Thomas agreed.
00:04:36But all that was about to change.
00:04:38Anything worth opening?
00:05:00Just pills and junk.
00:05:10W.F.
00:05:12W.F.
00:05:13Gerald.
00:05:14I just moved into 2B.
00:05:17Thomas Webb.
00:05:18Why so troubled, Thomas?
00:05:22Excuse me?
00:05:24I know that color of stress.
00:05:26It's much brighter than job issues,
00:05:28more subdued than possible disease.
00:05:32Oh.
00:05:33Sorry, I'm being rude.
00:05:35No, I mean...
00:05:36I'm having a bad day.
00:05:39Oh.
00:05:40What's her name?
00:05:45It's Mimi.
00:05:47Oh, Mimi.
00:05:49Derived from Wilhelmina.
00:05:51It means Resolute Protector.
00:05:54Hmm.
00:05:55There you go.
00:05:56What, uh...
00:05:59What is it that you like about this Mimi?
00:06:02You a psychiatrist?
00:06:04No.
00:06:05You got a psychiatrist's questions.
00:06:07Maybe I can help.
00:06:09Maybe I can help you get Mimi to sleep with you.
00:06:14Well, how do you know she hasn't already?
00:06:16Okay.
00:06:16Why don't you let a new neighbor help you out?
00:06:37Huh?
00:06:40What do you like about Mimi?
00:06:46I'm in 2B!
00:06:57Catch a boat to England, baby
00:07:00Maybe to Spain
00:07:02Wherever I have gone
00:07:05Wherever I've been and gone
00:07:08Wherever I have gone
00:07:10The blues are on the game
00:07:12Send out for whiskey, baby
00:07:19Send out for gin
00:07:21Where did you meet her?
00:07:24There's this book store called The Pale Fire.
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:28It's named after John Shade.
00:07:29John Shade's 999-line poem.
00:07:33Yeah, we'll call.
00:07:35Right.
00:07:35Well, they sell rare vintage books in there
00:07:38and I'm into that.
00:07:39I'm just reading off the beaten path
00:07:40and Mimi works there.
00:07:42She gave me the greatest recommendations.
00:07:45You know?
00:07:46She's putting herself through NYU's writing program.
00:07:49She reads a book a week.
00:07:50She's polishing her brain.
00:07:52Huh.
00:07:54Beautiful?
00:07:57Incredibly beautiful.
00:07:59Like she's direct from God, you know?
00:08:02Not second generation, if that makes sense.
00:08:04Complete sense.
00:08:06You know, we get each other.
00:08:07The problem was
00:08:11is that she has this boyfriend, Nick,
00:08:18and he's in that band Fahrenheit 185.
00:08:21The exact temperature it takes to cook heroin.
00:08:26Properly.
00:08:31Eh, let's see what we got.
00:08:33Anyway, so, Nick goes on tour.
00:08:47Mimi's now available and we're hanging out more.
00:08:51We end up spending a magical night together.
00:08:55August 8th.
00:08:58And then...
00:09:01Nothing.
00:09:03August platonic.
00:09:05How old has Mimi?
00:09:07She's 22.
00:09:09She's just turned 22.
00:09:10She's young.
00:09:12She's at an age where defense mechanisms are very strong.
00:09:17Well, despite her out of veneer,
00:09:19she's ruled by fear.
00:09:20Like so many of us at that time,
00:09:23I don't know what you need to do.
00:09:26Just make her afraid of something more
00:09:29than being with you in that way.
00:09:32Which is?
00:09:36Not being with you.
00:09:39But how?
00:09:40How am I supposed to do that?
00:09:42Let life take over.
00:09:48Find a window, then pounce.
00:09:54That's it.
00:09:55That's your sage neighborly advice.
00:09:58I have my money back.
00:10:00Thomas.
00:10:01Is it Thomas or Tom?
00:10:03It's Thomas.
00:10:04Not Tommy?
00:10:05No, never.
00:10:06Thomas, you're not giving life enough credit.
00:10:09The unpredictable forces of humanity.
00:10:11My life is not unpredictable.
00:10:13My life is conventional.
00:10:15My life is boring.
00:10:16No, it's as random as it is deliberate.
00:10:21As funny as it is tragic.
00:10:26Yours is no exception.
00:10:28I gotta do this.
00:10:28Dinner parties were Judith's safety blanket.
00:10:39A table full of artists took her mind off herself.
00:10:42The swirl of distractions, seating plans, gossip, food.
00:10:47Anything to keep away the dread.
00:10:49They were the perfect antidote to her childhood dinners.
00:10:53The silences, the drunken outbursts.
00:10:56Artists came to New York from all over,
00:10:57and she always took them in,
00:10:59clinging to the illusion of an open, happy family.
00:11:03Do you miss getting mugged on Central Park West?
00:11:05Exactly.
00:11:06Walking your dog.
00:11:06No, but I do miss the 2nd Avenue deli.
00:11:10I miss the Lenox Lounge.
00:11:12I mean, do you know what are in those iconic places now?
00:11:15Urban Outfitters, a Starbucks.
00:11:17There's a John Varvatos where CBGB's used to be.
00:11:20Hey, back.
00:11:21New York Sassu-Song.
00:11:24What was that, Thomas?
00:11:25Well, I was just agreeing with David that New York has lost its soul.
00:11:30Yeah.
00:11:31He returned from three months in Peru who's decided to hate where he's from.
00:11:34No, it's true.
00:11:35New York's most vibrant neighborhood at the moment is Philadelphia.
00:11:38That's very funny, Thomas.
00:11:44So, uh, Ethan, I heard that you've commissioned Nick Vilton to write the biographer on Evan DeReef.
00:11:49Our mandate at Kenta is very simple.
00:11:51Bios on any haircut under 40 as long as they're still within their 15 minutes.
00:11:55Self-help, political rants.
00:11:58Nobody reads fiction anymore.
00:11:59Anyone's a writer.
00:12:00So cynical, Ethan Webb.
00:12:02I know.
00:12:03If I were a writer, we'd be having this conversation in a two-bedroom in Bushwick.
00:12:09Bushwick is expensive now.
00:12:11I'm serious.
00:12:12I'm really serious.
00:12:13I mean, most novelists these days, they don't earn enough money to support themselves.
00:12:17No matter how talented they are.
00:12:19That's why if Thomas came to me with a desire to be a writer, I'd talk him out of it.
00:12:25So, you're still tutoring, right?
00:12:31Yeah, just for some extra cash.
00:12:32He could be a Spanish teacher.
00:12:34Yes, he could.
00:12:35I don't know if I could be a Spanish teacher.
00:12:36If he went back to college for a year, for some reason he refuses to do it.
00:12:40He lives on the Lower East Side without any direction.
00:12:43The only thing he's missing is an opium habit.
00:12:45What about doing a smartphone application?
00:12:47He lives on the Lower East Side without any direction.
00:13:17This man lived in across the hall for me.
00:13:31I don't know what he does or who he is, but he seems familiar to me.
00:13:35He's my new friend.
00:13:36Aw.
00:13:36Yeah.
00:13:38He asked about you.
00:13:40Me?
00:13:40He knows me.
00:13:47What's my father doing here?
00:13:55Who's he with?
00:13:58I don't know.
00:14:01She's beautiful.
00:14:02Who's he with?
00:14:15Do you have any idea what this is going to do to my mother?
00:14:37This doesn't mean your father loves you any less.
00:14:40I'm sorry. That was a bad one.
00:14:45I know, like dispensing therapy from an after school's funny.
00:14:49He doesn't care about me to begin with. I know that.
00:14:52This is about my mother.
00:14:56Yeah, but it's their problem. You have your own problems.
00:15:00Like what? They actually don't.
00:15:03Don't answer that. Not now.
00:15:06Thomas.
00:15:09Look at me.
00:15:12Look, your parents, their world is nothing like ours.
00:15:20I mean, maybe it's their generation or...
00:15:25I don't know, this island.
00:15:29But you're kind.
00:15:32And you're real.
00:15:34Don't do that.
00:15:51I mean, look. You're young. And your defense mechanisms are strong, but I think that you want this.
00:16:06I really do.
00:16:07I think that you're confused right now.
00:16:09No, Mimi. I'm angry right now. I'm angry. Did you see that woman? Did you see how beautiful she was?
00:16:18I can never get a woman like that.
00:16:20My father with his publishing house and his good looks and his cheating fucking hair.
00:16:27So what? You're gonna use your father's affairs as a confirmation of your own inadequacies?
00:16:33No, Mimi. I have you for that.
00:16:45So, you call my office. You say you want to have lunch. You never want to have lunch.
00:16:50I figured you had a big surprise. Maybe you've figured out your life.
00:16:54No. Definitely haven't figured out my life.
00:16:58I wanted to speak to you, Bob. Thank you for those tickets.
00:17:00Thank you for those tickets.
00:17:01Oh, of course. Any time.
00:17:02Oh, she enjoyed the show, Judith.
00:17:03It was good, wasn't it?
00:17:04Yeah, it was great.
00:17:05Say hi to Judith.
00:17:06I will indeed. Hold it.
00:17:10I want you to move from the Lower East Side.
00:17:12Why do you insist on living in the farthest corner of Manhattan away from us?
00:17:17I think it's intentional.
00:17:19I think it's almost hurtful.
00:17:24Look.
00:17:25I'm not asking for me.
00:17:27I'm asking for your mother.
00:17:29She wants you closer to home.
00:17:32How is Mom?
00:17:34Better.
00:17:36I guess.
00:17:39Can't get her to quit smoking.
00:17:44She's fragile.
00:17:45Anything, even the smallest thing, could create another incident.
00:17:55I'll pay the difference in life.
00:18:00Hmm.
00:18:05Anything about it?
00:18:06Dad.
00:18:07Oh, so I set up an appointment with a career counselor for you.
00:18:10My office will email you the info.
00:18:12Dad.
00:18:13I know you're...
00:18:14I know...
00:18:15You know I'm what, Thomas?
00:18:19I know you're just trying to help.
00:18:21Don't blow it up, okay?
00:18:23I have to call in a favor for her to see you.
00:18:25She actually has a waiting list.
00:18:30Are you gonna confront your father?
00:18:32No.
00:18:33Trouble talking to him.
00:18:35Why?
00:18:37I don't think he likes me that much.
00:18:41What, uh...
00:18:44What exactly is wrong with your mother?
00:18:47I don't know.
00:18:48She's depressed.
00:18:49Bipolar.
00:18:50She's depressive bipolar.
00:18:53She came from a broken home, so...
00:18:56Whenever anything threatens our perfect family, she completely unravels.
00:19:04I can't tell her.
00:19:05She'll be destroyed.
00:19:09Why don't you furnish this place?
00:19:11Hmm?
00:19:12I live in Brooklyn.
00:19:13You have two apartments?
00:19:18I'm rich.
00:19:20I'm a fucking duke.
00:19:30You know, maybe he's been faithful all these years.
00:19:34Maybe she came out of him.
00:19:35I've seen her.
00:19:36She's irresistible.
00:19:37I mean...
00:19:38Oh, stop.
00:19:41What do you want?
00:19:42I want my father to stop seeing this woman.
00:19:43No, no, no, no.
00:19:45In life.
00:19:47No, in your life.
00:19:51You want more money?
00:19:52You want more respect?
00:19:56What is it that you want?
00:19:59Think about it.
00:20:01Really think about it.
00:20:04I want to be better.
00:20:05Better?
00:20:06Better?
00:20:07Than what?
00:20:15Than none.
00:20:19In the 80s, Ethan was intoxicated by literary New York.
00:20:23But when he accepted that he lacked the talent to create a fictional family, he thought at least he could create a real one.
00:20:30Young Thomas loved to write.
00:20:33Ethan ignored this, wary of nurturing a life of rejections and evictions.
00:20:39And Thomas learned to keep his stories to himself.
00:20:42The intensity of Judith's bond with her son left Ethan feeling like a stranger in his own home.
00:20:47He sought refuge in work until publishing began its slow decline.
00:20:54And then...
00:20:56Kim Johanna.
00:20:58You know private detectives get paid by the hour?
00:21:01To just...
00:21:02Just wait.
00:21:04To do exactly what we're doing right now.
00:21:05I mean, what is the difficulty in a stakeout?
00:21:11I really gotta go to class.
00:21:12No, just wait, alright?
00:21:13Gonna be out in a minute.
00:21:16I have to see if he's gonna meet her again.
00:21:19Please.
00:21:21Just wait.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:27Oh my god, that's her.
00:21:33The other woman.
00:21:37I'll call you later.
00:21:38Wait, are we waiting for your dad?
00:21:39I'll call you later.
00:21:57I'm...
00:23:23What is it exactly that you want to accomplish?
00:23:28I want to meet her and tell her to stop seeing my father.
00:23:32She could kill my mother.
00:23:34Well, so do it.
00:23:38I haven't built the courage yet.
00:23:42So you stalk her.
00:23:44I shouldn't be dealing with this at all.
00:23:47I should be on a beach with Mimi.
00:23:52Naked.
00:23:54In Croatia.
00:23:58We should be together together.
00:24:00Should is a dangerous word.
00:24:01I'm serious, man.
00:24:03If it wasn't for my mother, I wouldn't be here.
00:24:08I don't buy it.
00:24:12You don't buy what?
00:24:14I don't buy that this is just about your mother's health.
00:24:19You want something more here.
00:24:22Something more what?
00:24:23Provocative.
00:24:25Provocative.
00:24:39Excuse me.
00:24:41Excuse me.
00:24:41Yes.
00:24:43You don't know who I am.
00:24:45Yes, I do.
00:24:47You do?
00:24:48You're the boy who follows me.
00:24:50Yo, I have good reason.
00:24:51You're also Ethan's son.
00:24:54He keeps a picture of you on his desk.
00:24:56Are you hungry, Thomas?
00:25:10Following someone in this city is going to be very difficult.
00:25:14It's so easy to be anonymous here.
00:25:17Why didn't you say anything when I was following you?
00:25:20Why didn't you say anything?
00:25:21Because I didn't know what I was going to do.
00:25:23And do you now?
00:25:24Yes.
00:25:26Is it good?
00:25:32Johanna.
00:25:33Johanna.
00:25:34I'm Johanna.
00:25:36Okay, Johanna.
00:25:37How long have you been fucking my father?
00:25:38Is that kind of vulgarity entirely necessary?
00:25:40What kind of vulgarity would you prefer?
00:25:45A little bit over a year.
00:25:47Why are you even seeing him?
00:25:49He's married.
00:25:50He is married.
00:25:54Do you work with him?
00:25:55Sometimes.
00:25:56I'm a freelance editor, so I work for all the houses.
00:26:02Do you love him?
00:26:07Define love, Thomas.
00:26:08Do you think that you're going to marry him?
00:26:10Is that the plan?
00:26:11Do you think you're going to steal him away from my mother?
00:26:13How do you know your mother isn't giving him to me?
00:26:18What's that supposed to mean?
00:26:19I mean that people do things all the time without realizing?
00:26:23Your mother may be giving me Ethan without comprehending it.
00:26:26You're doing something right now without realizing it.
00:26:31You're trying to make love to me.
00:26:35I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:37I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:39I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:40I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:40I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:41I'm trying to make love to you.
00:26:42You just didn't realize it.
00:26:46Andy Warhol was a close personal friend, and he gave us that piece as a gift.
00:26:51And now this goddamn committee is going to take all that away.
00:26:56Mom, it doesn't really matter.
00:26:57These people, these known entities in Chelsea, they're trying to steal my past.
00:27:01They're trying to erase my memories.
00:27:02Mom.
00:27:03Mom.
00:27:04I'm going to find the photo.
00:27:06Mom.
00:27:07Look at this mess.
00:27:10I need to see Rhett.
00:27:15But your father has declared I'm no longer allowed to smoke in the house.
00:27:19Well, I'll stay here and keep searching.
00:27:23Thomas, I want to smoke and talk to you at the same time.
00:27:29All right.
00:27:37It's just this perpetual cycle of expectations
00:27:40and disappointments.
00:27:44You know, the farthest distance in the world
00:27:48is between how it is and how you thought it was going to be.
00:27:53Don't forget that.
00:27:56I won't.
00:28:01It's just a light, Thomas.
00:28:04You know?
00:28:06I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:28:12It's just going on up in.
00:28:14It makes me so fucking emotional.
00:28:16Don't cry.
00:28:24Why don't you just stop seeing my father?
00:28:26Oh, hello, Thomas.
00:28:27Look, you're a very beautiful woman.
00:28:29Can I get any man you want in this city?
00:28:31Can I get you?
00:28:32What?
00:28:33You just said I can get any man in this city,
00:28:36so I'm asking.
00:28:37Can I get you?
00:28:39Which actually begs another question, really.
00:28:42Are you a man?
00:28:44My mother's in a fragile state.
00:28:46This affair could put her over the top.
00:28:48How am I responsible for your mother?
00:28:49What's your fucking fault?
00:28:50We know that crudeness doesn't make one a man.
00:28:51Stop seeing him.
00:28:52Nor do demands.
00:28:53I'm not trying to be a man.
00:28:55I'm not trying to make love to you.
00:28:56I'm trying to save my mother.
00:28:58You're getting closer.
00:29:09Johanna wasn't raised by writers.
00:29:11She was raised by bankers.
00:29:13But the lingua franca of both is fiction.
00:29:17When Ethan floated the idea of leaving his wife,
00:29:20she assumed it was just talk.
00:29:22But to her surprise, his suggestion unbalanced her.
00:29:27Instead of feeling flattered, she felt suddenly needy.
00:29:33Thomas's attention was the perfect remedy
00:29:36to her rattled confidence.
00:29:38The visions of Johanna.
00:29:42She's not like anyone I've ever met.
00:29:47She said I was trying to be a rough time.
00:29:49Oh, were you?
00:29:53No, I wanted to stop seeing my father.
00:29:57Isn't that between you and your father?
00:29:59Why would you want to make contact with her?
00:30:03She's an outsider to what seems to me to be a family issue.
00:30:07Eat that.
00:30:12Huh?
00:30:14Who was it?
00:30:15You don't want to know.
00:30:17So what are you saying?
00:30:20I like dealing with her?
00:30:21I don't know.
00:30:22That's precisely what I said.
00:30:23And that I want to make love to her?
00:30:25Would you like to make love to her?
00:30:26No.
00:30:30What kind of a question is that?
00:30:31It's sick.
00:30:32How is that sick?
00:30:33It's sick.
00:30:34She's a beautiful woman.
00:30:36So?
00:30:37Her name is Johanna.
00:30:38She's sleeping with my father.
00:30:41Would you like to make love to Johanna?
00:30:43Will you give me some credit, please?
00:30:45This conversation is perverse.
00:30:46Answer the question.
00:30:47Give me some credit.
00:30:48Stop drowning yourself in what you think is more.
00:30:51Do you want to fuck Johanna?
00:30:53Yes.
00:30:54Do it.
00:30:55You said your life was boring.
00:31:05I couldn't have found out today, would I?
00:31:06You know I got hit on three times.
00:31:07Come on.
00:31:08I can't have found out today without it.
00:31:09You know I got hit on three times.
00:31:10Come on.
00:31:11And I'm pretty sure they were all married.
00:31:12It's a good thing my father's in here.
00:31:13It's a good thing my father's in here.
00:31:14You know I got hit on three times coming from the bathroom.
00:31:18It's a good thing my father's in here.
00:31:19It's not mine.
00:31:20Oh no.
00:31:21The room's coming.
00:31:22It's my ninja.
00:31:23It's my motherfucking ninja.
00:31:25I'm a mother.
00:31:26You know I got hit on three times coming from the bathroom.
00:31:27I'm pretty sure they were all married.
00:31:28It's a good thing my father's in here.
00:31:29It's not mine.
00:31:30Oh no.
00:31:31The room's coming.
00:31:32The room's coming.
00:31:33It's my ninja.
00:31:34It's my motherfucking ninja.
00:31:35Congratulations man.
00:31:36It's me, me and I.
00:31:37Howard.
00:31:38Nice to meet you.
00:31:39Listen.
00:31:40I've been running through Riverside Park every day.
00:31:41Nine miles.
00:31:42Murdering sobriety.
00:31:43I've seen a lot of your mother lately actually.
00:31:44My mother?
00:31:45Yeah.
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:48I don't know.
00:31:49She's, uh...
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:52I don't know.
00:31:53She's, uh...
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:56Yeah.
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:59Yeah.
00:32:00Yeah.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:02I don't know.
00:32:03She's, uh...
00:32:04Always on the same bench reading the book.
00:32:05It's Irwin.
00:32:06Irwin!
00:32:07You guys gotta meet Irwin Sanders.
00:32:08It's Ivan Nix.
00:32:09Howard.
00:32:10Hey.
00:32:11How does it feel being married?
00:32:12Well, sex already sucks.
00:32:13Oh.
00:32:14I'm kidding.
00:32:15Kind of.
00:32:16Uh, Connie Nass took me back actually.
00:32:18So, maybe I could get an interview at some point?
00:32:20Maybe.
00:32:21Howard.
00:32:22This is my friend, Joanna.
00:32:25Thanks.
00:32:26Hey.
00:32:27This is Thomas.
00:32:29John.
00:32:30Hey.
00:32:31Hey.
00:32:42You're being really obvious.
00:32:44I'm not dating Irwin.
00:32:45It's none of your business.
00:32:46I don't have to explain myself to you, but nonetheless, he's a very good friend.
00:32:59Where's your girlfriend?
00:33:00She's not.
00:33:01She's just a friend.
00:33:02Well, you shouldn't let her do that to you.
00:33:03Well, you shouldn't let her do that to you.
00:33:04He's 30 years older than you.
00:33:05He's a billionaire.
00:33:06What?
00:33:07What?
00:33:08What?
00:33:09What?
00:33:10What?
00:33:11What?
00:33:12What?
00:33:13What?
00:33:14What?
00:33:15What?
00:33:16What?
00:33:17What?
00:33:18What?
00:33:19What?
00:33:20What?
00:33:21What?
00:33:22What?
00:33:23What?
00:33:24What?
00:33:25What?
00:33:26What?
00:33:27What?
00:33:28What?
00:33:29What?
00:33:30What?
00:33:31What?
00:33:32What?
00:33:33What?
00:33:34What?
00:33:35What?
00:33:36What?
00:33:37What?
00:33:38idea how the world works. Actually, he's not a billionaire anymore because Nancy got half
00:33:44of everything. It doesn't really matter. No, it doesn't. You look nice. You look very
00:33:53nice. In your suit. They don't really think you're stupid. Just confused. Yeah. Owen's
00:34:08probably looking for you. I'm sure you pay for the whole night. Thank you. Hey. So, first of all, hooker comments. I know. You actually resorted to hooker comments. I'm sorry. I apologize. Second of all, Owen's gay. Okay, he loves men. In fact, he loves one man in particular, a man named Billy Arnoldi, who happens to be an incredible art dealer and one of my closest friends.
00:34:38So, Owen doesn't want to come out for business reasons, which is his prerogative, and I come to events like this with him. I'm not a glorified hooker. He's not a sugar daddy. I'm his beard.
00:34:47You really don't know how the world works. You're an innocent, Thomas. You're a child.
00:34:53I know some things. Oh, yeah?
00:34:55Mm. Like what?
00:35:00How it went down.
00:35:03You and my dad, I know.
00:35:04Do you?
00:35:05Mm.
00:35:07Okay, Thomas. Mr. Ace Sleuth.
00:35:11I want to hear it.
00:35:16You notice that he liked to come in early.
00:35:20Really early. Like, what?
00:35:22Seven in the morning?
00:35:24So, you started coming in then, too.
00:35:26You're isolated and contained.
00:35:28You told him it was because you don't sleep well.
00:35:30That the bad dreams, they shake you awake before daylight.
00:35:33In the mornings, you put on music in your office.
00:35:35Brahms one day, Biggie Smalls the next.
00:35:37Because, you know, you can't be put into a box.
00:35:40You attack all the senses.
00:35:42I mean, a little aggressive on your signature scent.
00:35:44Strong in the vanilla.
00:35:47You mention a boyfriend that complained of a bad date.
00:35:49You confuse him. You make him wonder.
00:35:51And the sex.
00:35:54The sex. The sex surprised you both.
00:35:58I mean, he was just walking you home after dinner.
00:36:00I mean, Jesus, you're not the other woman.
00:36:02He's not a cheating husband.
00:36:03No, this isn't something that we did.
00:36:04This is something that happened to us.
00:36:07But what? Could it be love?
00:36:09Well, nobody wants to acknowledge that so soon in the game.
00:36:12But the stars are crossed.
00:36:13And people are gonna get hurt.
00:36:14And we've done a bad back thing, Ethan.
00:36:17So fuck, it must be right.
00:36:18All of it was just bullshit, calculated and manipulated from that first lie about your back rooms.
00:36:24Because I'm, I'm, I'm pretty sure that you sleep like a baby.
00:36:35You are quite a storyteller.
00:36:48Where have you been?
00:37:12Bath.
00:37:14Thanks so much.
00:37:14I have to interrupt now, because I have to go home.
00:37:26I'm Uncle Buster.
00:37:28Let's get out of here.
00:37:29Casey's father's brother.
00:37:31They haven't even cut the cake.
00:37:32Fuck the cake.
00:37:33Walter Oates.
00:37:34Let's go.
00:37:34Come on.
00:37:35Come on.
00:37:36Walter's not here, because...
00:37:38You smell like vanilla.
00:37:39He's doing two to five.
00:37:41It's no secret.
00:37:43As you all know, two to five for doing the right thing.
00:37:47For believing in the poetry of the Constitution.
00:37:50I have only a few thoughts.
00:37:58Drama.
00:38:00Dramatics of marital romance.
00:38:05Staying together.
00:38:08Like the gypsy told me, the poems written in lifelines are never guaranteed.
00:38:15They get busted up.
00:38:20Tomorrow begins new poetry.
00:38:23Another romance that will explode from time to time.
00:38:29Poetry of married people like the aurora borealis.
00:38:33Strewed like stars in the sky.
00:38:40And the drama of your lives begins.
00:38:44Chapter after chapter.
00:38:48Stories.
00:38:49Books.
00:38:52Revolutions, as I know, will come.
00:38:56I've seen many.
00:38:57Live through them.
00:39:00They play in the least expected places.
00:39:02So get ready.
00:39:06Casey understands Howard.
00:39:07Howard knows Casey.
00:39:11No.
00:39:13No, not yet.
00:39:15There's always mystery.
00:39:17You both know that.
00:39:19You both know it isn't perfect.
00:39:22Excitement.
00:39:23Trust.
00:39:25And struggle.
00:39:27And the unknown privacies.
00:39:30That keep us together.
00:39:32Glue of struggle.
00:39:36I raise my glass.
00:39:39The fragile glass we stomped on and shattered.
00:39:44And we'll forever be putting back together.
00:39:48Like the puzzles.
00:39:49We first worked as children.
00:39:52Learning to be patient.
00:39:55Searching for what fits.
00:39:56So many puzzles.
00:39:57So many puzzles.
00:40:01So many puzzles.
00:40:04So many books in this room.
00:40:07And I talk too much.
00:40:14Let's dance.
00:40:15Let's dance.
00:40:15So I have to go to this career counselor.
00:40:31My father set up the appointment.
00:40:32Why don't you go to journalism?
00:40:36You ran the high school newspaper.
00:40:38That doesn't interest me anymore.
00:40:40And you won the advertising prize in college.
00:40:42You could do that.
00:40:42How do you know what's about me?
00:40:45I'm telling you all.
00:40:46I've known everything.
00:40:47Everything about you.
00:40:48Okay.
00:40:49Yearbook committee.
00:40:50President of the debate club.
00:40:52Arts editor of the high school newspaper.
00:40:54Second single on the tennis team.
00:40:56Very impressive, Thomas.
00:41:00Your father has all your awards on his desk.
00:41:02That's so awful.
00:41:04Oh, man.
00:41:05It's all great.
00:41:06Fuck the great counselor.
00:41:10All right.
00:41:11Here's something we don't know.
00:41:13That nobody knows.
00:41:14Okay.
00:41:19I wanted to write.
00:41:23I used to write all these things when I was younger.
00:41:26A bunch of letters from my dog to, like, the mailman and the vet.
00:41:31And eventually, I came up with a collection of essays called Mary Jane Versus Everything.
00:41:40Which I was incredibly proud of.
00:41:42And, you know, I've shown to my dad.
00:41:46What did Ethan say?
00:41:49Serviceable.
00:41:51Ouch.
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:53Serviceable.
00:41:54That was his exact word.
00:41:57Nothing special.
00:41:58Just serviceable.
00:41:59You seem pretty angry after reading them, though.
00:42:02Well, I want to read them.
00:42:03You do?
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:04You can't.
00:42:05Why not?
00:42:05Because I throw them out.
00:42:07Oh, that's so sad.
00:42:10That's so sad, isn't it, baby?
00:42:12Mm.
00:42:16That's good.
00:42:19Really?
00:42:19Yeah.
00:42:20What word did your father use?
00:42:25Serviceable.
00:42:26I disagree.
00:42:28I think you've got talent.
00:42:35But your father's a publisher, and I'm just some strange neighbor, so you're going to go with serviceable, huh?
00:42:42I don't know if I could read them, but I don't know if I could.
00:42:50Those visions of Johanna.
00:42:53I think about her all the time.
00:42:58Maybe it's love.
00:43:10Love is hard to determine.
00:43:12People think they're in love, and it's something completely different.
00:43:17Infatuation.
00:43:19The righting of childhood wrongs.
00:43:22Companionship.
00:43:23Have you ever been in love?
00:43:27Yeah.
00:43:28Once.
00:43:31Who was she?
00:43:33Oh, she was this woman I knew.
00:43:38She was taken by someone else.
00:43:40Dear friend.
00:43:43We had a profound connection, but she was his girl.
00:43:47It was a mess.
00:43:49So what did you do?
00:43:50Oh, I left the scene of the crime.
00:43:53You ran away?
00:43:56Oh, well, at the time I called it an adventure.
00:44:00But hindsight turned it into something else, which is what hindsight inevitably does.
00:44:06Yeah, I ran away.
00:44:07I'm going to take this.
00:44:09Leave you with your heart on.
00:44:11With my heart on?
00:44:12Heart.
00:44:14Your heart on.
00:44:15You know what?
00:44:16Maybe in hindsight I'll feel guilty about Johanna, but right now I don't.
00:44:20It's not cut or dry.
00:44:26Congratulations, Thomas.
00:44:29Your world is becoming contextual.
00:44:36Who the fuck are you?
00:44:38Hey, Dad.
00:44:52What's up?
00:44:54Sit down.
00:45:00Is everything all right?
00:45:02Is Mom okay?
00:45:04Sit down, Thomas.
00:45:05Is there anything you want to tell me?
00:45:25No.
00:45:26No, nothing.
00:45:29Anything I should know?
00:45:30No.
00:45:30No.
00:45:35No.
00:45:38Thomas.
00:45:40You blew off the career counselor.
00:45:44Hmm?
00:45:45I told you how hard it was to get that appointment, and then you just don't show up.
00:45:49It's gone.
00:45:50Wait, I'm...
00:45:51I should have called.
00:45:55I should have called.
00:45:56I'm sorry.
00:45:57I'm sorry, too.
00:45:57Come work here.
00:46:04What?
00:46:04Hmm?
00:46:05Work here.
00:46:06You like to read.
00:46:07I've been conflicted about giving you a job here, nepotism and all that bullshit, but screw it.
00:46:12You can start under the junior editors.
00:46:14You know, learn something.
00:46:16No, thank you.
00:46:16Why not?
00:46:17I mean, what's wrong with learning the publishing business?
00:46:20Nothing.
00:46:20It's fine.
00:46:21It's just, it's serviceable.
00:46:35WF?
00:46:38I just want to get my essays back.
00:46:41Hey.
00:46:42I just want to get my essays back.
00:47:12Thank you, my God.
00:47:12I just want you, my God.
00:47:31I just want to get your essays back.
00:47:33Thomas, it's in your apartment, and it's Julian Stellars.
00:47:52Oh, my nom de plume.
00:47:56You've had 12 books published.
00:47:59You don't have much mass appeal, but you don't seem to mind.
00:48:02It's hard to find a picture of you anywhere.
00:48:05You're an alcoholic who spends most afternoons drinking and working men.
00:48:10And you're probably the only person that I've met that's actually,
00:48:13actually been to an opium den.
00:48:17And I've been Googled.
00:48:19Mm-hmm.
00:48:25I didn't read it.
00:48:28Any manuscript?
00:48:32Well, Thomas, I appreciate that.
00:48:35Oh.
00:48:37So, uh...
00:48:42You said I had talent.
00:48:47It was a professional's opinion.
00:48:51I don't know, man.
00:48:54I...
00:48:55You've experienced the world.
00:48:59I just live here in New York.
00:49:01New York is the world.
00:49:03I haven't done much with my life.
00:49:06You've had sex with your father's mistress.
00:49:11I'd say that's something.
00:49:15Am I the only living boy in New York?
00:49:19New York.
00:49:26You are.
00:49:29Hey, I was outside your apartment.
00:49:48You're not there.
00:49:49I brought the essays I wanted to show you.
00:49:59I brought the essays I wanted to show you.
00:50:29Did you sleep with her?
00:50:34With who?
00:50:39Joanna?
00:50:44How would you ask that?
00:50:48They left the wedding as quickly as we did.
00:50:52I may be oblivious, but I'm not stupid.
00:50:55Why do you care?
00:50:56I just do.
00:50:57Why?
00:50:58Thomas.
00:50:59You jealous?
00:51:00No.
00:51:01You sure?
00:51:02Thomas.
00:51:03I think you're jealous.
00:51:04Did you sleep with her?
00:51:05She's my father's mistress.
00:51:07You think that I would do that?
00:51:11No.
00:51:12No.
00:51:14You're sweet.
00:51:15You're not like them.
00:51:16I do.
00:51:17The city.
00:51:18I want you to stop seeing him.
00:51:19I'm putting my foot down.
00:51:20You don't care to tell me what to do, Thomas.
00:51:21I don't care if your foot's down or off.
00:51:22Why?
00:51:23Because you don't care about anything?
00:51:24What?
00:51:25You obviously don't care about anything at all.
00:51:27Well, so I'm a nihilist now, aren't I?
00:51:28I don't know anything about you.
00:51:29I don't know anything about you.
00:51:30Where'd you grow up?
00:51:31I'm a nihilist now, aren't I?
00:51:32I don't know anything about you.
00:51:33I don't know anything about you.
00:51:34Where'd you grow up?
00:51:35Brooklyn, Thomas.
00:51:36That's why I have this accent.
00:51:38I mean, you know.
00:51:39I'm extremely old.
00:51:40I don't know anything about you.
00:51:42You're so mad.
00:51:43I don't care about anything.
00:51:44You're so mad.
00:51:45You're so mad.
00:51:46You're so mad I don't know nothing about you.
00:51:47How are you?
00:51:48I'm so mad.
00:51:49I'm so mad.
00:51:50You're so mad.
00:51:52I'm so mad.
00:51:53You're so mad.
00:51:56You were so mad.
00:51:57I'm so mad, you're so mad.
00:51:59Why are you mad?
00:52:00Who are you mad?
00:52:01because I have this accent.
00:52:05Do you play sports?
00:52:07No.
00:52:10When did you first have sex?
00:52:12Oh, my God. We're going to talk about my childhood now.
00:52:15Yeah, I want to know you.
00:52:18Where'd you grow up?
00:52:21I grew up in London.
00:52:24Which part?
00:52:26Belsize Park.
00:52:28And then, Kilburn.
00:52:31Why the move?
00:52:33Because Kilburn's so much more real.
00:52:36What'd your dad do?
00:52:41What'd your dad do?
00:52:43He put a gun in his mouth and called the traitor.
00:52:47I'm sorry.
00:53:04I didn't know.
00:53:06Why do you sleep with me?
00:53:12Because I like you.
00:53:14What do we like about you?
00:53:18Your innocence.
00:53:20You mean you're ever innocent?
00:53:23I forgot.
00:53:24Come on, tell me.
00:53:27I want to know about when you're innocent.
00:53:29Why?
00:53:30Because I like the idea of it.
00:53:33If you want someone to take care, why are you with me?
00:53:35Because I care about you.
00:53:41Do you care about me?
00:53:45I didn't care about anyone, remember?
00:53:47But the truth was, she cared about them both.
00:53:54And that's when she knew this mess would only get worse.
00:53:59She had to make a clean break starting with Ethan.
00:54:03What she didn't anticipate was,
00:54:06he'd surrendered too much of his past to give up on his future.
00:54:10I don't know.
00:54:20Do you think he's in love with her?
00:54:23He just has to stop.
00:54:25You and your father, you suffer from the same disease.
00:54:30Johanna.
00:54:32Visions of Johanna conquer my mind.
00:54:37Why are you writing, John?
00:54:41That's what I do.
00:54:43I write about people I know and then give them a thin bed.
00:54:47Why me?
00:54:51Look, I...
00:54:53I got the apartment to get out of the house and write a completely different story.
00:54:58It just didn't come across.
00:55:00Mine did.
00:55:02But like everything good, it happened by accident.
00:55:05I met you, now I got 118 pages.
00:55:10My father's publishing house, they're touring an anniversary party tomorrow.
00:55:14They should come.
00:55:18Oh.
00:55:20You've heard all about these people, but you never met them.
00:55:23You're good for the book.
00:55:27Here.
00:55:29Find a window.
00:55:31Pounce.
00:55:32Pounce.
00:55:53I broke up with Nick.
00:55:57Did you?
00:55:58You're supposed to be more excited than that.
00:56:00You're supposed to be more excited than that.
00:56:28Hey, thanks for coming.
00:56:53It's a great party.
00:56:54Yeah, it always is.
00:56:56It's my mother.
00:56:58Mimi?
00:57:03She's beautiful.
00:57:06I told you she was.
00:57:08I was talking about your mother.
00:57:09I told you.
00:57:10You did.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12I told you.
00:57:13Come on.
00:57:14Come on.
00:57:15Come on.
00:57:16Come on.
00:57:17I told you.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20Come on.
00:57:21Come on.
00:57:22Come on.
00:57:23It is amazing, but I think you can explain it to me.
00:57:33I want you to come meet somebody.
00:57:35Oh.
00:57:36Who are we meeting?
00:57:37Meeting my new friend.
00:57:38Your new friend?
00:57:39All right.
00:57:40I'll do that.
00:57:41I'll do that.
00:57:42I'll do that.
00:57:43I'll do that.
00:57:44I'll do that.
00:57:45I'll do that.
00:57:46I'll do that.
00:57:47I'll do it.
00:57:48I'll do it.
00:57:49I'll do it.
00:57:50I'll do it.
00:57:51I'll do it.
00:57:52I'll do it.
00:57:53Why was the?
00:57:54Why did she stop?
00:57:55Just sharing.
00:57:58I'll do it.
00:58:07I have looked down upon the city from high windows.
00:58:13I just said that the great buildings lose reality
00:58:19and take on their magical powers.
00:58:25Squares and squares of flames
00:58:27set and cut into the ethos.
00:58:30Here's our poetry.
00:58:34For we have pulled down the skies to our will.
00:58:37To our will.
00:58:38Ezra Pound.
00:58:42Johanna and Israel.
00:58:45We haven't met, we?
00:58:47No, but I know you very well.
00:58:51And I know that you're having your fun.
00:58:55And that he's young and easy.
00:58:57But you'll have me to deal with if he scores.
00:59:05I don't like strange conversations.
00:59:09So I'm gonna walk away.
00:59:17I love you.
00:59:19I love you.
00:59:26I love you.
00:59:31Oh.
00:59:32Bye.
00:59:39Bye.
00:59:40Bye.
00:59:40Bye.
00:59:41I really think we should stop seeing each other.
01:00:01I've done this. It looks bad. Come on.
01:00:05I was ending it with your father as well.
01:00:07Not because I didn't care for him. I actually really do.
01:00:12I care for him very much.
01:00:14Thomas, the thing is, he proposed.
01:00:17What?
01:00:18And I've said yes.
01:00:22No. No, no, no, no.
01:00:24Please, no one needs to be disruptive.
01:00:26He's not gonna leave her.
01:00:28I'm not gonna let that happen.
01:00:30This is the best thing for everybody.
01:00:32For who?
01:00:33For everybody.
01:00:34Judith's gonna be so much better off.
01:00:35She'll be suffering anymore under the weight of a dead marriage.
01:00:38He's going through a crisis.
01:00:39He's just going through a fucking crisis.
01:00:41That's all it says.
01:00:42Come on. This doesn't have to be this difficult.
01:00:43Please, everybody can win here.
01:00:46God made a mistake when he made you beautiful.
01:00:48Well, God's mistake is marrying your father.
01:00:50Not yet. She isn't.
01:00:52Look, can I just ask you one thing?
01:00:54If any of this comes out, who do you think is gonna get hurt?
01:00:58It's not me.
01:00:59It's not Ethan.
01:01:00We both know how to land on our feet and it's not you.
01:01:03You're so young.
01:01:05There's one person.
01:01:07One person will be destroyed and we both know who that is.
01:01:10What do you think is gonna happen?
01:01:11You think you can get married?
01:01:12You think you can have the obligatory second family
01:01:14and live happily ever after in your dream world?
01:01:17Obviously that can't happen.
01:01:19What is that supposed to mean?
01:01:21What is it supposed to mean?
01:01:24What? What is that supposed to mean?
01:01:25What is it supposed to mean?
01:01:27Stop it.
01:01:33Stop it.
01:01:34I want to tell him everything.
01:01:35I want to tell him everything.
01:01:36I want to tell him everything.
01:01:51I want to tell him everything.
01:02:06I want to tell him everything.
01:02:08I am very happy for the Cadaver.
01:02:12I am very happy for the Imaginary説 trouveセリー.
01:02:16Thomas!
01:02:17Thomas, what are you doing?
01:02:31It's raining.
01:02:36I broke up with Nick because I got into Felicia, and I want you to come with me.
01:03:06I slept with Joanna.
01:03:13No, you're not like that.
01:03:18And I thought that I was in love with her.
01:03:23You're good?
01:03:29No, Mimi, I'm not good.
01:03:36Mimi!
01:03:41Mimi!
01:03:49I'm sorry.
01:03:52You were just like them.
01:03:55They won, Thomas.
01:03:57I'm going bankrupt, baby.
01:04:06Oh, I know you are a little boy down in Mexico.
01:04:19Oh, darling, darling, here I am.
01:04:25Oh, I'm the only little boy I will know.
01:04:32Oh, I get the news I need, don't know where to report.
01:04:38Oh, I got all the news I need, don't know where to report.
01:04:44Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile.
01:04:54Oh, no, no, no, darling, here I am.
01:04:59The only little boy I will know.
01:05:03I'm the only little boy I will know.
01:05:06I have all the time to come.
01:05:08I don't know where you don't know where.
01:05:10I don't know where.
01:05:11Hey.
01:05:12Thomas, did you spend last night here?
01:05:13Yeah.
01:05:14Well, that was the best party that Kenta has thrown in years.
01:05:18Everybody was drunk, and not just our alcoholic friends, but everybody.
01:05:22Why did you spend the night?
01:05:34I don't know, I just wanted to come home.
01:05:39Are you upset?
01:05:42Tell me about it.
01:05:45What?
01:05:47Is it about a girl?
01:05:51And I'm your mother, so...
01:05:56Things have gotten messy, and I'm on a bail.
01:06:03But I can't.
01:06:05Well, then you know.
01:06:10The only way out is through.
01:06:15Right?
01:06:19Where's dad?
01:06:20He left early.
01:06:22He said he had to go to the office and get some files.
01:06:25He seems to have gotten over with it.
01:06:28There's no way out there.
01:06:31We'll get another minute.
01:06:35Promise?
01:06:43Thomas?
01:06:44Dad?
01:06:45Thomas.
01:06:46Huh.
01:06:47We need to talk.
01:06:48Mm-hmm.
01:06:49But there are some things that you don't know.
01:06:50Thomas, don't.
01:06:51Don't.
01:06:52Don't.
01:06:53That you need to know.
01:06:54Johanna.
01:06:55You two don't.
01:06:56Don't.
01:06:57Don't.
01:06:58Don't.
01:06:59Don't.
01:07:00Don't.
01:07:01Don't.
01:07:02Don't.
01:07:03Don't.

01:07:07Don't.
01:07:08Don't.
01:07:10Don't.
01:07:11Don't.
01:07:12Don't.
01:07:13Don't.
01:07:14You know each other?
01:07:15Yeah.
01:07:18What?
01:07:19Well, Ethan, the thing is, is that he followed me.
01:07:22You followed her?
01:07:27That's not all I did.
01:07:36I'm sorry.
01:07:38I don't understand.
01:07:40We slept together, and not just once.
01:07:49What?
01:08:04Oh.
01:08:07Oh.
01:08:13You sick little shit.
01:08:15I did right by you.
01:08:16You what?
01:08:17You have no idea.
01:08:18You have no idea.
01:08:31Oh.
01:08:37Oh.
01:08:47I deserve you.
01:08:51I deserve you.
01:09:01Oh.
01:09:10Oh.
01:09:11I'm sorry.
01:09:25We're all sorry, Thomas.
01:09:29I really do love him.
01:09:43And he did right by you.
01:09:47More than you know.
01:09:49Good-bye, Thomas.
01:09:55Good-bye, Thomas.
01:09:57Good-bye.

01:10:05Good-bye.
01:10:06Good-bye.
01:10:07I hate to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet
01:10:12We sit here stranded
01:10:18Though we're all doing our best to deny it
01:10:22And Louise holds a handful of rain
01:10:28Tempting you to defy it
01:10:31Blades flicker from the opposite
01:10:37In this room the heat pipe is carved
01:10:43The country music station plays soft
01:10:47But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
01:10:50Just Louise and her love are so inclined
01:10:59And these visions of Joanna
01:11:06That conquer my mind
01:11:12Did you finish it?
01:11:17I did
01:11:19Tell me about it
01:11:21Tell me about the only living boy in New York
01:11:27Well
01:11:34It's about three people
01:11:43Artists
01:11:44Great friends
01:11:50One of them is a beautiful young girl
01:11:53The other two
01:11:54One artist has talent, the other doesn't
01:11:58No matter how hard he tries
01:12:00No matter how badly he wants it
01:12:03He just
01:12:04He wasn't kissed by God in that way
01:12:07But he has the girl
01:12:08Yes and they're married and they plan to start a family
01:12:15Only they have a little problem
01:12:19He's infertile
01:12:20May I ask a talented friend for help?
01:12:24Yeah, you have a knack for a story, Thomas
01:12:29I get it from my father
01:12:32So, you know, they're artists and they don't want to use in vitro so they go with a cheap bottle of Cabernet and some Quaaludes and Simon and Garfunkel record and any such.
01:12:34And the husband's okay with that
01:13:03They want to use somebody that they know, somebody that they love
01:13:08And, of course, the artist with the talent, he's flattered and, of course, he agrees
01:13:19And he and the beautiful girl
01:13:28They walk the city streets that night for hours
01:13:35They're both so damn nervous
01:13:37And they end up at Washington Square Park
01:13:42Where they dance
01:13:46To no music
01:13:51And the rest comes easy
01:13:56Does he love him?
01:14:01Does he love him?
01:14:02Yeah
01:14:03He does
01:14:04Oh
01:14:05And that moment he realizes he does
01:14:08And so it turns out that the beautiful girl, she gives birth to a wonderful son and her husband gives up art and becomes a very successful art dealer
01:14:32Any other artist?
01:14:39He watches the boy grow from afar, huh?
01:14:44Sees his own talent alive in this child
01:14:51So desperately wants to connect with his son
01:14:56And tell him everything
01:15:02Murder is down, you know
01:15:05But, of course, he never does make contact
01:15:20Until
01:15:22Until he decides to make it all his next book
01:15:26He has his purpose
01:15:36And he looks like
01:15:38Kidney
01:15:40He looks like
01:15:41Look at my son
01:15:42Yeah
01:15:43He looks like
01:15:44Do
01:15:45Kindney
01:15:46He looks like
01:15:47A
01:15:48He looks like
01:15:49I'm
01:15:50He looks like
01:15:51He looks like
01:15:52He looks like
01:15:53He's
01:15:54Mom.
01:16:08Thomas.
01:16:17What did he tell you?
01:16:20You're here looking for razors?
01:16:24Empty pill bottles?
01:16:28Sit down.
01:16:36What do you know, Thomas?
01:16:40I know...
01:16:44I know why you carry so much guilt.
01:16:48I know that I already forgive you.
01:16:54I know you're in love with someone you haven't seen in over 25 years.
01:16:58And you go to Riverside Park every day to read his books.
01:17:01I know. I know. And it's okay.
01:17:08Who told you?
01:17:10He did. Julian. W.F.
01:17:12Whatever you want to call him.
01:17:15Is he dying?
01:17:17He's not dying.
01:17:19Don't worry. He's not dying.
01:17:21He's fine.
01:17:23He's just...
01:17:25I don't know. He's tired.
01:17:27I think he's lonely.
01:17:29It was my idea not to tell you.
01:17:31Not Ethan's.
01:17:33You have to know that.
01:17:35You were trying to protect me.
01:17:37Yes, and...
01:17:41And I knew that if you found out, he would come back into my life,
01:17:45and then everything would go to shit.
01:17:47Well, everything went to shit on its own, so...
01:17:52Yeah, I guess.
01:17:53Is he old?
01:18:09And he's messy.
01:18:11Yeah, he always was.
01:18:13An unmade bed of a man.
01:18:15An unmade bed of a man.
01:18:17An unmade bed of a man.
01:18:19I like that.
01:18:21You should.
01:18:23Your father wrote it.
01:18:27Never mind.
01:18:29Never mind.
01:18:31Never mind.
01:18:33Never mind.
01:18:35Can't help me?
01:18:37That's what I never thought it was.
01:18:38No.
01:18:39Never mind.
01:18:41If I am going to try that, I'm going to try something.
01:18:43I'm sorry, I thought I'd let you go on.
01:19:13Hey.
01:19:15Hey.
01:19:17I'll be quick.
01:19:19I know what book I want.
01:19:21Sure.
01:19:27Hm.
01:19:29What did you think?
01:19:31Serviceable.
01:19:33You're lying to make me feel good.
01:19:37The character that surprised me the most was the father.
01:19:41Which one?
01:19:47One that didn't run away.
01:19:51Hm.
01:19:55Whatever happened to Mimi?
01:19:57She's still in Croatia.
01:19:59She got a fellowship.
01:20:01I don't think she's coming back.
01:20:03Oh.
01:20:05Did you hear back from Viking?
01:20:07Yeah, it was a pass.
01:20:09I'm sorry.
01:20:11You want me to make a few phone calls?
01:20:13No.
01:20:15I want to start something new, man.
01:20:17I have an idea.
01:20:19Oh, that's good.
01:20:21You still speaking to John?
01:20:23No.
01:20:25You mind me?
01:20:26Yeah.
01:20:27How's your mother?
01:20:28She's good.
01:20:29She's quit smoking.
01:20:30Started writing for Art News again.
01:20:31Oh, that's good.
01:20:32Yeah.
01:20:33She has a date tonight.
01:20:34Oh, good for her.
01:20:35Oh, good for her.
01:20:36Oh.
01:20:37Truly.
01:20:38Best black or conviction.
01:20:39First and full of cash in the intent zone.

01:21:35When I wake up in the morning, I see nothing
01:21:41For miles and miles and miles
01:21:46When I sleep in the evening, oh Lord
01:21:51There she goes, only in dreams
01:21:56She's only in dreams
01:21:58Well, well my love, we've been here before
01:22:13Don't drag me through this again
01:22:15We tried everything under the sun
01:22:20Now I'm trying to wake up from this
01:22:23I'm trying to make up for it
01:22:26All we ever do
01:22:28Is all we ever knew
01:22:33La la la la la la
01:22:38La la la la la la

01:22:52You don't see why your world has no left to give
01:22:58Well, what goes around, comes around
01:23:03I know sometimes you get so caught in a dream
01:23:07But now it's time to wake up from this
01:23:10It's time to make up for it
01:23:13It's time to wake up from this
01:23:22Yes, it's time to wake up from this
01:23:29It's time to make up for it
01:23:31All we ever do
01:23:34All we ever do
01:23:36It's all we ever knew
01:23:38La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
01:24:08I'm feeling low, feeling high, feeling down.
01:24:12Why isn't this enough?
01:24:17I'm feeling low, feeling high, feeling down.
01:24:22Why isn't this enough?
01:24:27And all we ever do is all we ever do.
01:24:35And all we ever do is time to wake up with me.
01:25:05Ba-la-la-la-la, ba-la-la-la-la, ba-la-la-la-la...
