Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You
00:00:17Kids started calling me lousy quarter when I was on the golf team in high school. I couldn't hit the ball straight and
00:00:24And an italian kid named maziani yelled hit it straight lousy on my backswing
00:00:30Was obviously not meant to be a compliment. It wasn't a complimentary nickname, but I never hated it and it stuck
00:00:38How did it make you feel when that's the only you lousy that day
00:00:48You are a moving target
00:00:52That can't be nailed down
00:00:54Leave me your maker
00:01:00While out on the town
00:01:04Drop the needle in my groove
00:01:08It's an old familiar tune
00:01:13After all I'm just the tide
00:01:17And you are the moon
00:01:19You uh
00:01:27You hear the one about the guy goes to the doctor
00:01:30Doctor gives him six months to live. He can't pay his bill. Doctor gives him another six months
00:01:35Oh
00:01:41Lousy Carter
00:01:43If I can get inside
00:01:46The house you built on Sam
00:01:51A mirage in my mind
00:01:53I keep getting emails about my 25th year high school reunion.
00:02:11You think I should go?
00:02:13Uh, depends on when it is.
00:02:17What?
00:02:18What?
00:02:23See this?
00:02:26Yeah.
00:02:26See that?
00:02:27Okay.
00:02:30That's me?
00:02:32It's your Carter, right?
00:02:37Whoa.
00:02:47We need the room.
00:02:53Um, sorry about this.
00:03:08Mr. Carter, you have a balance of $6,478.
00:03:12We urge you to take care of this today.
00:03:14The card on file was declined.
00:03:17I'm a professor.
00:03:20I'm sorry?
00:03:20It's Professor Carter, usually.
00:03:25Professor Carter, you have a balance of $6,478.
00:03:30We urge you to take care of this today.
00:03:32The card on file was declined.
00:03:34Wait.
00:03:38You guys usually shake people down right after the doc hands down the death sentence?
00:03:42I don't have access to medical records.
00:03:44Okay.
00:03:45I'm billing.
00:03:45I'm billing.
00:03:50You told me not to sell you booze.
00:03:55Things have changed.
00:03:56Circumstances.
00:03:57I'm, uh, I'm terminally ill.
00:03:59When you told me this, you told me that when you came back in here to buy liquor that you'd
00:04:02say that things had changed.
00:04:04You'd offer up some kind of excuse?
00:04:06Some kind of extenuating circumstance?
00:04:09Some kind of bullshit?
00:04:12Hey, look.
00:04:13I've got 50 bucks.
00:04:14This is, what, $31.95?
00:04:16But, that works.
00:04:27The bad hospitals let you die and the good hospitals kill you.
00:04:31That sounds like a drag.
00:04:33So what are you going to do?
00:04:34Are you going to finish that thing you've been working on forever?
00:04:37What?
00:04:38That thing, that animated thing.
00:04:39Stop saying thing.
00:04:41Yeah, maybe.
00:04:43Why don't I make you crab cakes?
00:04:44Uh, no, I'm going to take a rain check on those crab cakes.
00:04:48I-I gotta go.
00:04:49Maybe you should f**k one of your students.
00:04:57That's not a bad idea.
00:05:00I guess if I get fired, who cares?
00:05:02Indeed.
00:05:02Who cares?
00:05:03Welcome, class.
00:05:20This class is capped at eight students, as you may know.
00:05:24Everyone here, how many we got?
00:05:26Eight?
00:05:26This graduate seminar is entirely devoted to an American novel, some say novella, called
00:05:34The Great Gatsby, written in 1924 by American writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.
00:05:39Um, it says 1925.
00:05:42Again?
00:05:43On Wikipedia, it says 1925.
00:05:46I don't like you lounging out while I'm talking to you.
00:05:49What is your name?
00:05:53Liam.
00:05:55You're on thin ice, Liam.
00:05:58I know the book came out in 1925.
00:06:00I've dedicated my life to the book, but it was written in 1924, along with scraps in 1923,
00:06:061922.
00:06:08Anything else?
00:06:10No.
00:06:11You want to teach the class?
00:06:14No.
00:06:15Okay, let's take a break.
00:06:19If you come back after the break, I'll know you want to be in the class.
00:06:22Inversely, if you don't come back, I'll suspect this isn't for you.
00:06:33Herschel?
00:06:37You ever feel like a fraud up there?
00:06:41Teaching?
00:06:42No.
00:06:45You were going to the doc.
00:06:46How'd it go?
00:06:48You were experiencing symptoms.
00:06:49What was it?
00:06:49A hernia?
00:06:50False alarm.
00:06:52Are we still playing racquetball Thursday?
00:06:54Pickleball.
00:06:55Are we still playing pickleball Thursday?
00:06:57And why, pray tell, would we not be?
00:06:59Come back.
00:07:04Come back.
00:07:04Professor?
00:07:29Yes, yes I am, Professor.
00:07:34The Gatsby class, is it full?
00:07:37Who's asking?
00:07:38I mean, I'm asking.
00:07:44The class is capped at eight students.
00:07:49However...
00:07:53We may not have much luck with this book, but one thing I've always enjoyed is something that Fitzgerald's editor said after he read the first draft.
00:08:00That it had vitality to an extraordinary degree and glamour.
00:08:06Now, how many of you know that Murakami taught himself to write by copying sentences from The Great Gatsby in Japanese?
00:08:13Maybe you want to look that up, Wikipedia.
00:08:17First name Haruki, H-A-R-U-K-I.
00:08:21Come to think of it, I want everyone to read a Murakami book this week.
00:08:24Oh, God.
00:08:25What about the thing you said about the class being The Great Gatsby?
00:08:32It's not me.
00:08:35You okay?
00:08:37One-page writing samples.
00:08:42Due from everyone next time we meet.
00:08:44Preferably on the book.
00:08:45Which one?
00:08:46Last time we were here, you said you had difficulty experiencing joy.
00:08:59I said that?
00:09:00Yeah.
00:09:01I only seem to be able to feel joy at the suffering of others.
00:09:21Schadenfreude.
00:09:22Pardon?
00:09:23Schadenfreude.
00:09:24You're a college professor.
00:09:25Yes, but I teach English.
00:09:26Everyone knows what that is.
00:09:27I mean, I know what that is, Schadenfreude, yes.
00:09:28Yeah.
00:09:29I saw some news in which a colleague received a kind of public professional rejection and I was relieved.
00:09:45It felt like I could feel less pressured for a moment.
00:09:49So, it's not a general or continual thing necessarily.
00:09:53It's more occasional, but it seemed worth mentioning.
00:09:58Yeah, and last time you were here, you also said we were going to get started on your mother.
00:10:07Oh, boy.
00:10:09How much time do you have?
00:10:15I'm so sorry.
00:10:17How much time do you have?
00:10:18I don't want to go.
00:10:19Thanks.
00:10:20I was so sorry.
00:10:22Bye, bye.
00:10:25Well, that was a great time.

00:12:58i formed an uneasy alliance with my own mother after a few years out in the cold
00:13:07shifting gears
00:13:13i've always been fascinated with the teacher-student dynamic
00:13:20sure i want to make a thing about it i've been tinkering with an idea
00:13:24tinkering
00:13:2413 years
00:13:25can you feign interest
00:13:30that's what i thought i was doing
00:13:35okay
00:13:48well
00:13:57come on
00:14:01i've been meaning to you want these you look like you need a boost no i don't need these
00:14:12i'm just having a hard time getting anyone on my side yeah that's self-pity pure and simple
00:14:21i don't think so the reason that everyone is frustrated with you is because you've
00:14:27diminished over the years you don't act like yourself you're a simulacrum a facsimile just a version
00:14:34you're a version not a virgin
00:14:38you're trying to tell me that your problems matter yes am i not supposed to tell you my problems
00:14:47no

00:15:06come have brunch with us she'll make us that frittata
00:15:12not a brunch guy french toast
00:15:15sunday
00:15:18you had said the diagnosis was fairly dire he said six months tops six months
00:15:26what are you gonna do with the furniture i was gonna just give it to goodwill or
00:15:32salvation army i don't need the money i do and you owe me seven hundred and seventy five dollars
00:15:39yes i do when you moved out it was a cold winter i had all these utility bills
00:15:44and your half was eight hundred it's eight hundred now
00:15:48we could sell this bookshelf and that coffee table
00:15:52what a drag
00:15:55i mean
00:15:56i'm really sorry i forgot or really never thought about it you just seemed really depressed and eager for me to go
00:16:04that wasn't depression i had lyme disease
00:16:08it can be both
00:16:09it's clear you never cared it's fine i got used to it
00:16:12i stopped blaming you once i could see how limited you are
00:16:17men are dumb
00:16:19why do you think men are dumb
00:16:23weak brain
00:16:26i'd like to say one breakthrough i had recently about our relationship and this is not an attack
00:16:32you seem to think loving someone meant freeing yourself of the need to get along with the
00:16:37person in question while for me to love someone meant the opposite the relationship was meant to
00:16:43be a placid sea of calm a safe harbor from the shit storm of the world you have it completely wrong
00:16:49as usual we broke up because you were are and always will be a baby man and i am a real life adult woman
00:16:55there's a lot that's been said about this book we may take a look at a few of the film versions out there there's that baz lerman
00:17:07version i've been holding off on that one who here has seen it
00:17:11maybe we'll thread that
00:17:17coppola made one as none of you i'm sure know well he wrote one he didn't make one as i'm sure you know
00:17:24this is a graduate seminar you can't really just show movies
00:17:32okay you gail after class
00:17:46all right uh sorry um like i was saying i was kind of famous when they hired me here i was hot
00:18:00and uh wanted hmm yeah now less so why would they let an animator teach the great gatsby
00:18:09exactly but this thing i'm trying to resurrect we would basically photograph you and then have
00:18:15some animators come in and work on it it's easy what's it about oh well you know uh now it's about
00:18:21a uh a may december thing it it's like the mores and more rays wait there's there's a book
00:18:32laughter in the dark it's vladimir nabokov's first novel published in the united states i'd really
00:18:38love to tell you about it is this why i'm staying after class yes that the book isn't more well known
00:18:44as astonishing now you know that nabokov was russian right so he taught himself english and went on to
00:18:51write lolita a book many people know it was a one best novel 20th century amidst a group of a lot of
00:18:59critics yes it's usually on top 10 lists as an all-time great aware it's it's uh very highly
00:19:06regarded aware along with the great gatsby of course sure but the thing is nabokov wrote laughter
00:19:12in the dark quickly and in russian but he had a chance to revise it when it came out here and he
00:19:19kind of fixed it you know he made some revisions that make a lot of sense and it's just a good book
00:19:23it's criminally underappreciated uh you know and to add to the intrigue it makes no sense that nabokov
00:19:33was able to teach himself to write well in english for example uh he added an opening paragraph to help
00:19:39frame the story once upon a time there lived in berlin germany a man called albinus he was rich
00:19:47respectable happy one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress he loved was not
00:19:54loved and his life ended in disaster and so what you want to make an animated version of that book
00:20:01i've been working on something and i'd like to get it back up on its feet i don't think it's a good idea
00:20:07people are generally opposed to what's the word um pedophiles hey hold up hee-haw whoa i'm that's not
00:20:20what it's about a man who likes young women like pedophiles do no like you like a younger woman i don't feel
00:20:29safe i'm not a creeper creeper that's not me
00:20:44but i think you do have nice hair i don't i'm not attracted i'm not attracted to you at all

00:21:35class i like it it's great book oh yeah they're such beautiful shirts she saw her voice muffled in
00:21:42the thick folds it makes me sad because i've never seen such such beautiful shirts before
00:21:46you're the laughing stock of the entire faculty teaching what amounts to barely one book at the
00:21:59graduate level well that's not true herstle you know that's not true why not teach a pamphlet
00:22:07you should teach an std pamphlet you're teaching that uh tolstoy class right yeah i get tolstoy mixed
00:22:13up with the other one dostoyevsky yeah that's sad yeah that's not are you uh you teaching this semester
00:22:23um no i'm uh i'm on sabbatical
00:22:37you ever have an affair you know with a student you've asked me that repeatedly oh where it's not
00:22:51anyone's business my answer is no so why not just say no then both pieces of information are
00:22:57relevant you're saying you wouldn't tell me if you were i'm saying the question is impertinent i thought
00:23:03we were friends friends tell each other stuff i love my wife your wife is great great hey now
00:23:14how's your class collectively they seem too dumb to breathe sounds frustrating i'm used to it you
00:23:26really go in there and get after it regardless i like trying to whip them into shape see i don't
00:23:32think i really do that i don't i don't think i'm very good at my job agree what's the point
00:23:39yes with the abyss you see it as pointless to try i see it as pointless not to
00:23:49and you assume death is unpleasant your death my death let's say for the sake of argument
00:23:57mine presumably you'll be riddled and racked with regret so yes me less so
00:24:09so
00:24:19so
00:24:21so
00:24:31I just need to let them kind of trace me digitally.
00:24:48They just need to see you in a green screen environment.
00:24:50Do you know what that is?
00:24:51I don't think there's anyone alive that doesn't know what a green screen is.
00:24:53I'll have you in 12 to 15 various positions.
00:24:56I don't mean sexual positions.
00:24:58Got it.
00:24:58How much do I get?
00:24:59$300.
00:25:01Per position?
00:25:02I need money.
00:25:03No.
00:25:04No, that's a flat rate.
00:25:05If the movie makes money, which it won't, we will pay you more.
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:11What about my voice?
00:25:12Do you want that?
00:25:13Let me think about it.
00:25:15What about the rights to the book?
00:25:16Did you reach out to the publisher?
00:25:18I made a query a while ago.
00:25:20I think they're going to let us use it just to see what happens.
00:25:22It's a pretty obscure book.
00:25:24That's crazy.
00:25:25We could put it on the map.
00:25:26No, no, no.
00:25:26That's crazy.
00:25:27They're going to want money.
00:25:27It's Nabokov.
00:25:29I think it's pronounced Nabokov.
00:25:31A lot of money.
00:25:32A lot of money.
00:25:35Come on in.
00:25:39But mind the first step.
00:25:44Pardon the mess.
00:25:47These are silly access.
00:25:53You deal in cold leave.
00:25:55This is the last time.
00:26:15No question.
00:26:16That was great.
00:26:32Agreed.
00:26:32You seem to have something extra tonight.
00:26:34I'm just kind of in a good mood.
00:26:37Feels great sitting here reviewing things.
00:26:41Well, it's not great.
00:26:41I feel incredibly guilty.
00:26:43You should, too.
00:26:44I don't feel guilty.
00:26:46Monster.
00:26:47I can't help but want to meet up with you.
00:26:49You're great.
00:26:51Sorry.
00:26:52If you knew how great you were, you would want to meet up, too.
00:26:58You know, Kaminsky thinks I need to lose weight.
00:27:00You call your husband Kaminsky?
00:27:01I can never remember his first name.
00:27:03It's Herschel.
00:27:04You called him that yesterday.
00:27:06Well, he's asked me if I want to start running.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:09You mentioned that.
00:27:11And?
00:27:12I don't have an opinion.
00:27:15So you think I'm fat?
00:27:17I don't think they're saying fat anymore.
00:27:22Look, I'd be in love with you if you weighed 350 pounds.
00:27:25And while I love doing it with you, I think it's more like it gives us a reason to meet.
00:27:36Yikes.
00:27:37Never say that to a woman.
00:27:44Do you think Kaminsky would kill us if you found out?
00:27:47No.
00:27:48Do you think he looks down on me?
00:27:50So we're talking about him now?
00:27:51We've been talking about him.
00:27:53I think you brought him up initially.
00:27:54I just get the feeling that he's disappointed in me professionally.
00:27:59Compared to how he'd feel knowing you were sodomizing his wife.
00:28:03You were the one who suggested that.
00:28:07I just want to say that this can go towards your grade.
00:28:26You can be getting extra credit for this.
00:28:28I don't care.
00:28:29About the grades or about the project?
00:28:32About what you're saying.
00:28:33You seem to try and guess what you think I want to hear and say some version of that, but you're always wrong.
00:28:38In fact, all your behavior is odd to me.
00:28:41I keep expecting you to sound sort of worldly and professorial, but instead it's more like someone who's somewhere in between 14 and 16.
00:28:4915?
00:28:49I don't mean that in a mean way.
00:28:52I mean, I guess it's an insult.
00:28:55Your immaturity and moral failings don't make you less attractive, which is, I guess, what matters to you.
00:29:02I hope you feel better.
00:29:0513 years you've been working on this?
00:29:07You have a skin tag, I just noticed, for the first time.
00:29:12Yeah, there's a lot going on with your face that I haven't pointed out, but...
00:29:16It's a lot to process.
00:29:20The feeling you get.
00:29:22You like feeling good.
00:29:24Yes.
00:29:24It's important feeling good, but it is not the most important thing.
00:29:31Go on.
00:29:32Work.
00:29:34Work.
00:29:34Work is the most important thing.
00:29:36The feeling good is a byproduct.
00:29:39If you don't know that, you're lost.
00:29:45Okay.
00:29:46I'm not really after advice here.
00:29:48I don't give advice.
00:29:51Speaking of advice, I've been getting emails about my 25th year high school reunion.
00:29:57I've been blowing them off.
00:29:58Should I go?
00:30:00Who knows?
00:30:00You had said you paid your mother a visit.
00:30:06You said you were going to, or we were going to...
00:30:10So, now that I'm in slightly improved communication with my mother, and she's kind of clearly an older person,
00:30:18our previous dynamic, where I was afraid she would say recriminatory things to me,
00:30:23I guess she would say things to me that if anyone else said them, I wouldn't talk to that person anymore.
00:30:28So, it made sense to me to reduce and eventually cut off contact.
00:30:35But now, it's more like, of course she said those things.
00:30:41And of course she says those things.
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:51Sorry, I'm not here.
00:30:53Sorry.
00:30:54Lousy, if you're there, pick up.
00:30:57Kaminsky found out we were having an affair.
00:31:00Found out?
00:31:01Yeah.
00:31:02I mean, I guess technically I told him we were having an affair.
00:31:05Oh, great.
00:31:06The guilt was just piling up.
00:31:08I feel a lot better.
00:31:10I'm glad you feel better.
00:31:11What did he say?
00:31:11About what specifically?
00:31:13When you told him.
00:31:14Oh.
00:31:14He said he was going to kill you.
00:31:17He got in the car to go find you.
00:31:20And then he changed his mind and he went to that gun store on Claremont Ave.
00:31:24But the line was too long, so now he's out in the backyard grilling steaks.
00:31:30Yeah, I think this is going to be good for us.
00:31:34Us?
00:31:34Me and Kaminsky.
00:31:36I told him he was better at sex than you.
00:31:38That seemed to calm him down a little.
00:31:39I hope that's okay.
00:31:40Is that true?
00:31:41I don't know.
00:31:41This last time, though, you definitely seemed to be in a groove.
00:31:45Or a rhythm or something.
00:31:49I gotta go.
00:31:50Are you mad?
00:31:51What difference does that make?
00:31:52My mom's place is calling me.
00:31:53Your mom's place?
00:31:54Yeah, the place where she lives.
00:31:55They're calling me.
00:31:56Let's try and connect later.
00:31:59Lousy Carter.
00:32:00Yes.
00:32:01Your mother passed away this morning.
00:32:10Jesus.
00:32:11Yeah.
00:32:11Aren't you supposed to tell me to come down there and break to me in person?
00:32:17I'm new here.
00:32:18It's my first day.
00:32:19I'm new here.
00:32:20I'm new here.
00:32:21Okay.
00:32:22Shit.
00:32:23She seemed to be on the mend.
00:32:24Never met her.
00:32:25Of course.
00:32:26Uh...
00:32:27Let me think.
00:32:28Hang on.
00:32:29Take your time.
00:32:30You guys have anybody down there for next steps?
00:32:31I suppose you mean a mortician?
00:32:32We got a guy.
00:32:33Alfred.
00:32:34He's kind of an in-house counsel, but, you know, an undertaker.
00:32:37Do you want me to pat you over?
00:32:38No.
00:32:39I'm gonna come down there.
00:32:40Have a nice day.
00:32:42Have a nice day.
00:32:44WTF.
00:32:47That's nice.
00:32:48David.
00:32:49Was he on the right side guy?
00:32:50Alfred?
00:32:51He's kind of an in-house counsel, but, you know, an undertaker.
00:32:52Do you want me to pat you over?
00:32:53No.
00:32:54I'm gonna come down there.
00:32:55Have a nice day.
00:32:56Have a nice day.
00:32:58WTF.
00:33:11She had requested she be cremated, as you may know.
00:33:21We have a new procedure where we can shoot the remains into space.
00:33:26It's $11,000.
00:33:29You kidding?
00:33:30You're kidding.
00:33:34I'm not going to try to talk you into or out of anything.
00:33:38I'm tired.
00:33:40You're tired?
00:33:41I'm tired of the rap we get.
00:33:43People like me, people in my profession, for trying to upsell our services.
00:33:48It's terribly cliched.
00:33:55We can also have the ashes sprinkled at the Eiffel Tower.
00:34:00Sprinkled?
00:34:01Sprinkled, scattered.
00:34:03So the ashes are flown first class to Paris.
00:34:06I think this may be what people are referring to when they say they feel taken advantage of.
00:34:10If I can spend, I guess, like $5,000, I'm happy to use a fucking Folgers can.
00:34:15If you're looking for more cost-effective options, there is a discount for group remation.
00:34:21Sorry, say again?
00:34:228% discount for group remation.
00:34:25Your mother would be cremated amidst, in a group setting.
00:34:29I guess I've got to rent a hall for people to go to after the ceremony thing.
00:34:35People.
00:34:35They offered me the rec room at the hospice, but I don't have enough of a sense of irony, you know, to take them up on it.
00:34:43There's a bowling alley three blocks from here I like.
00:34:46A bowling alley?
00:34:48Yes, a bowling alley.
00:34:49You can't have the reception at a bowling alley.
00:34:51Why not?
00:34:53Was your mother a bowler?
00:34:54She was an avid bowler.
00:34:56Yeah, I don't think so.
00:34:57What's the difference?
00:34:58If I say she wanted it at a bowling alley, who's going to argue with me?
00:35:01Wasn't that what we're doing, arguing?
00:35:03I like the place.
00:35:04I think she'd like the place.
00:35:05It's a fun place.
00:35:06Not my idea of fun, but I'm too tired to argue with you about it.
00:35:10Everyone is tired.
00:35:11Jesus.
00:35:11I'm not tired, exactly.
00:35:13It's just painfully, obviously, silly for me to vigorously suggest an alternative.
00:35:19Plus, I have Lyme disease and I'm always tired.
00:35:23I'm dying.
00:35:28Here's your Lyme disease.
00:35:38Fitzgerald's kind of a mythical figure.
00:35:41When I was younger, I think I liked the book because it glamorized the drinking lifestyle.
00:35:45That's faded.
00:35:46And then that's not helpful to any of you guys.
00:35:48I get that.
00:35:50It's a funny thing to teach the book.
00:35:53It doesn't make sense to try and teach this book.
00:35:56You know, Gatsby gets shot at the end.
00:36:00Oh, geez.
00:36:00Thanks a lot.
00:36:01Yeah.
00:36:02Spoiler alert.
00:36:03Wait, wait.
00:36:04You're certainly supposed to be done reading it by now.
00:36:07This is a graduate class, leaving aside the idea that everyone ought to have read it in high school.
00:36:14This class would be like taking Spanish 2 for someone who lived in Guadalajara for three years.
00:36:21The book was released to less-than-glowing critical reception and low sales.
00:36:26That's true.
00:36:27The book did not sell well.
00:36:29The book glorifies the banal, its grim logical extension being Instagram.
00:36:35You're blaming Fitzgerald for that?
00:36:37It only really works as a reflection of a culture relieved at a return to prosperity,
00:36:42which in turn relies on exploiting less developed countries,
00:36:46the whole notion being eerily and hopelessly outdated.
00:36:49The Great Gatsby is aesthetically glorified, emotionally vacant, and morally complacent.
00:36:57Emotionally vacant?
00:36:58The book is an anachronism, a curiosity, a museum piece.
00:37:19The book is anachronism, a museum piece.
00:37:49The book is anachronism, a museum piece.
00:38:18In the middle years, a stage arrives where we are unmistakably no longer young.
00:38:24The aches and pains kind of calcify.
00:38:27We go to the doctor to discuss things growing inside of us,
00:38:30and they offer to take pictures, cut us open, retrieve the things, examine them.
00:38:34Oh, sorry, I gotta go.
00:38:36You can't use a phone in here.
00:38:48I can't?
00:38:49Yeah, it messes with the equipment.
00:38:51What equipment?
00:38:54The office equipment.
00:38:55So it's like a plane?
00:38:57So like I'm preventing the office from taking off and landing?
00:39:01Same company, same equipment.
00:39:04That's bullshit.
00:39:07Thanks for the 55-minute wait, by the way.
00:39:10It's delicious.
00:39:1125 minutes in the waiting room with magazines from 1987, another half hour in here.
00:39:15You know, you'd think the terminally ill patients, you'd ease off on the waiting a little.
00:39:23Meanwhile, I don't know why I'm back here.
00:39:25It's been two months.
00:39:27Am I here so you can tell me I've got four months left?
00:39:29Yes.
00:39:30You see where it's progressed here and here?
00:39:34You have about four months left.
00:39:36Oh, okay.
00:39:38Great.
00:39:40Great, thank you.
00:39:43Any questions?
00:40:03Elsie.
00:40:04Oh, Herschel, hello.
00:40:09My wife told me your mom died.
00:40:12Sorry to hear that.
00:40:13When's the service?
00:40:15I have to check with the place.
00:40:17I'm not 100% sure it's up to me.
00:40:19Of course it's up to you.
00:40:20I have a sister in Kentucky.
00:40:22She may have a say.
00:40:23She's strange.
00:40:25I mean, she's estranged.
00:40:27She was estranged from my mother, who was by definition impossible to get along with.
00:40:31But the only way I managed, in case you're wondering, was to treat her like a cartoon character.
00:40:37Also, I agreed with everything she said.
00:40:39And I never told her my plans.
00:40:41And where did you get that from?
00:40:43I can't remember.
00:40:45Anything else?
00:40:49That should do it.
00:40:51Looking forward to meeting your sister.
00:40:53I ought to tell her our mom died.
00:40:55Is it ethically unsound to do that on Facebook?
00:40:57Uncertain.
00:41:07Oh, and one more thing.
00:41:11My wife also told me about you and her.
00:41:16Yeah?
00:41:18What'd she say?
00:41:20We can pick it up later.
00:41:22Jesus.
00:41:42Hello?
00:41:43Hello.
00:41:45Hello?
00:41:45Kale?
00:41:46Professor Carter?
00:41:47Are you friends with the Russian Lit Prof?
00:41:49Who's asking?
00:41:50I just passed him in the hallway.
00:41:52You guys are friends.
00:41:53You can say that.
00:41:54Is it office hours?
00:41:55I don't know.
00:41:57I heard your mom died.
00:41:58Jesus, how?
00:41:59How'd she die?
00:42:00No.
00:42:02How'd I find out?
00:42:03One of the students put it on Facebook.
00:42:05WTF?
00:42:06Can they do that?
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08Aren't you too cool for Facebook?
00:42:09Yes, thank you.
00:42:10Can I come to the funeral?
00:42:12I love funerals.
00:42:17Yeah, that's just because you assume you're not going to die.
00:42:21Again?
00:42:22You don't think, you think you're not going to die.
00:42:27Never thought about it.
00:42:29And I had no idea you hated the Great Gatsby.
00:42:32Who says I do?
00:42:33In the dream, there was a father figure, a dog.
00:42:38I think the dog was supposed to be God.
00:42:40The father figure was pointing a gun at my wrist.
00:42:43We're not doing the dream thing here these days.
00:42:46You're a Jungian.
00:42:48That's dreams.
00:42:51No, not so much anymore.
00:42:54We haven't discussed the drinking much lately.
00:43:00Yes, I have been avoiding that.
00:43:03Not the subject, the drinking.
00:43:06Fitzgerald's drinking has been somewhat on my mind.
00:43:09You know, with my own work, booze helped when I was younger.
00:43:13In a way that's hard to put your finger on exactly.
00:43:18It's not like it specifically activated anything.
00:43:21It just worked as a lifestyle choice.
00:43:24But then gradually,
00:43:26and I guess in a way that mirrors Fitzgerald's situation,
00:43:32alcohol started to turn against me.
00:43:36Until everyone...
00:43:41Until it was obvious to everyone that I needed to give it up.
00:43:45I obviously ought to reserve anger for my father for fleeing,
00:43:53for abandoning us when I was three.
00:43:56But it always made sense to me, him doing that.
00:44:03At least you had a father.
00:44:04Hey, Lousy.
00:44:19It's, uh...
00:44:20It's been a while.
00:44:21I wasn't 100% sure what you'd look like.
00:44:25Yeah.
00:44:25You look the same.
00:44:27You look good.
00:44:28I like your outfit.
00:44:29I think that's something you say to someone you're trying to fuck,
00:44:34not your sister.
00:44:38I could have just taken an Uber.
00:44:41Isn't that what we're doing?
00:44:43Taking an Uber?
00:44:46So, you're all set?
00:44:47We're all set with the service?
00:44:50Or whatever?
00:44:51Yes.
00:44:52I can't believe she's gone.
00:44:54Well, Mom, yeah.
00:44:55She died.
00:44:56I'm thrilled, frankly.
00:45:12What a frickin' dumbass.
00:45:14Don't people have better things to do?
00:45:16Yeah.
00:45:16No, I'm so glasses.
00:45:17I'mstrained.
00:45:18I'm gonna go there, too.
00:45:20You're all set.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:23Yo, I'm gonna go there.
00:45:34Yeah, I'm so mad.
00:45:36Yeah.
00:45:39Fuck.
00:45:40But my assumption is that it's definitely one.
00:45:42Hello.
00:46:12I wish we were all here for more cheerful reasons.
00:46:18A few words about my mother.
00:46:22She had me when she was too young.
00:46:24She told me later to understand the responsibilities that came with parenting.
00:46:30When I was loud, she'd put me in a closet,
00:46:35often dosing me with a half cup of cough syrup so I'd pass out.
00:46:39She told me this many years later.
00:46:44Of course, I don't remember it.
00:46:46She described it to me as if it were a sensible response.
00:46:50She said I screamed a lot as a baby.
00:46:54And she had a hard time getting used to it.
00:46:59I mean, I get it.
00:47:04She said my father could handle it, but he left when I was three,
00:47:09apparently having had his fill and she had trouble with this,
00:47:14preferring to blame me rather than take responsibility.
00:47:18She was a talented artist, but preferred the gentle oblivion of alcohol,
00:47:27which she only gave up at 65 when her doctor told her she had early signs of cirrhosis.
00:47:34What else?
00:47:39I'm starting to like her more now that she's gone.
00:47:44I have heard this happens.
00:47:46We formed an uneasy alliance late in her life when she could see I wasn't going to visit her
00:47:53if she was going to be casually abusive.
00:48:02She helped me become who I am.
00:48:04Emotionally unavailable, but with a fondness for good books.
00:48:08I believe she had a good sense of humor, which she bequeathed to me,
00:48:11but this is complicated because I think I have a good sense of humor,
00:48:14and since everyone imagines they have that,
00:48:17it doesn't mean anything.
00:48:22I do not feel sentimental standing here,
00:48:27but if you check with me in a few months, maybe.
00:48:40If anyone has anything to say about her, now's the time, really,
00:48:44and I prefer the remarks being slightly more charitable.
00:48:52I don't know what this man is talking about, but it's a disgrace.
00:49:06It's graceful.
00:49:09It is unfathomable to me, your rambling and decisive, incoherent remarks.
00:49:14She was a teacher for many years. You left that out.
00:49:18It's true. She was my art teacher in eighth grade. Our art teacher.
00:49:22She's really good. Honey, she was very popular.
00:49:27She more or less taught us to draw.
00:49:30You see, no idea.
00:49:34Well, like the man said, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well.
00:49:43Yeah, you really only get one swing there.
00:49:46There are no do-over eulogies.
00:49:49Thank you for inviting me. I love funerals.
00:49:52You mentioned that.
00:49:54Certainly better than some dumb play, right?
00:49:56I'm glad. I'm glad the horrible misery of my childhood
00:50:00can transpose itself into a half-hour's entertainment for generation DGAF.
00:50:04You grew up fairly upper middle class, didn't you?
00:50:08It's true.
00:50:10I had no point of reference for thinking that my childhood was anything but ordinary,
00:50:13but it was only later when I needed to blame someone or something for my mediocrity
00:50:21that I pounced on this narrative.
00:50:25I mean, I had uncles chasing me from when I was nine. I think that's worse.
00:50:29It's worse, isn't it?
00:50:31Men should be rounded up and gassed.

00:50:53Men should be rounded up and gassed.
00:50:54Sorry about your wife.
00:51:10What?
00:51:11I mean, your mom.
00:51:12Sorry about your mom.
00:51:19Lassie Carter.
00:51:20You got him.
00:51:22Hey, you don't remember me.
00:51:24I'm Dick Anthony.
00:51:25We were in school together at Central High.
00:51:29Oh, right.
00:51:30Dick Anthony.
00:51:31Yeah, I made an effort to reach out to you on Facebook.
00:51:35I'm not a big Facebook guy.
00:51:37Yeah, no.
00:51:38I tried email, too.
00:51:41Regular mail.
00:51:42Anyway, I knew your mom.
00:51:45She was one of the teachers that was made reference to in the service.
00:51:48I was one of the students that was made reference to in the service, is what I meant to say.
00:51:55Thanks for coming.
00:51:57I'm surprised.
00:51:58I really made an effort to contact you.
00:52:01We ran cross country in sophomore year.
00:52:04My name was Richard Janikowski in high school.
00:52:10I didn't start going by Dick Anthony until after college.
00:52:15Oh, right.
00:52:16I do remember you.
00:52:17You look a lot different.
00:52:18Yeah, yeah.
00:52:19I didn't have a beard in high school.
00:52:20I wanted to say hello, and, um, again, I'm sorry about your mom.
00:52:31Yeah, thanks.
00:52:32I could have done a better job with the eulogy.
00:52:35Yeah.
00:52:39I was a big fan of the film you made.
00:52:41The animated film from the early aughts.
00:52:45It was criminally underappreciated.
00:52:50Professor Carter, you have a mandatory meeting with the provost tomorrow at 9 a.m.
00:53:04This is a matter of some urgency.
00:53:13It's come to our attention that you had an extracurricular activity off campus with a student present.
00:53:20That was a funeral.
00:53:24Okay.
00:53:26That counts?
00:53:27Yes.
00:53:28My mother died.
00:53:29For the purposes of our discussion, that is not relevant.
00:53:32More to the point, there's been chatter around campus that you're having an inappropriate relationship with a student in question.
00:53:38One Miss Gail Everson.
00:53:41You know, she just kind of showed up to the funeral.
00:53:44It's in the newspaper.
00:53:45You can't control who comes to a funeral.
00:53:49It's my job to put a stop to this.
00:53:51And if there's nothing to worry about, then there's nothing to worry about.
00:53:55But if you're fucking her, then in effect you're fucking me, Professor Carter.
00:53:59And I don't like being fucked without giving my say-so first.
00:54:01Wow.
00:54:03Wow.
00:54:05Wow.
00:54:06What?
00:54:07Well, I see why you have this job.
00:54:09So what's going on here?
00:54:12The truth is, I asked her to be in a film I'm making.
00:54:16And that's been largely limited to work we've done here, on campus.
00:54:24I don't know if you know my work.
00:54:26I made an animated film 13 years ago, to some acclaim, and got hired here on the strength of it.
00:54:33How about you give me a break?
00:54:36Break it off forthwith, or expect to be released very unceremoniously.
00:54:40You can't just fire me.
00:54:41You might like knowing Miss Everson has come to our attention in the past.
00:54:46For a dalliance with a Russian literature professor.
00:54:50One Herschel Kaminsky.
00:54:51Jesus.
00:54:53You know him?
00:54:55He's my best friend.
00:54:57Why didn't he get fired?
00:54:59Professor Kaminsky was the subject of an inquiry.
00:55:01Perhaps we can discuss that some other time.
00:55:03If you think you can flout the rules, and battle me with any success, try me.
00:55:09Like the man said, make my day.
00:55:16Came in to settle the bill.
00:55:18In person.
00:55:19I'm old school.
00:55:21What's the damage?
00:55:22I can pay $1,200.
00:55:24This isn't a Peruvian flea market, Mr. Carter.
00:55:26You're not buying an alpaca blanket.
00:55:28I see.
00:55:28All in, we hit the $5,000 you requested.
00:55:30It was a nice service, thank you.
00:55:32Yeah, I heard you got into it with a couple of the mourners.
00:55:34Nah.
00:55:37This check is for $10,000.
00:55:38Yeah, Doc gave me the death sentence.
00:55:41You've heard of adult-onset ADHD, early-onset Alzheimer's.
00:55:45I've got adult-early-onset dying.
00:55:49Uh, yeah, right.
00:55:51Terminally ill.
00:55:51I think I heard somebody mention something about it at the funeral.
00:55:55Or was that Facebook?
00:55:57I don't know.
00:55:58I've lost track of who knows and who doesn't.
00:56:00Oh, goodness.
00:56:02That's fine.
00:56:04I've had time to process.
00:56:05Okay, well, look, this is a little unusual, um, but certainly not unheard of.
00:56:11What do you suppose happens when we die?
00:56:16When we die?
00:56:19It's like a bubble floating in the air.
00:56:24Suddenly popping.
00:56:24That's what we become.
00:56:26Nothing.
00:56:27The Japanese word for it is moo.
00:56:31Moo.
00:56:32Like a cow.
00:56:33Are you Japanese?
00:56:35M-U.
00:56:36Moo.
00:56:38No.
00:56:38No.
00:56:38Jesus, you pork my sister?
00:57:07Now we're even.
00:57:09I'm not completely following the math.
00:57:11Nothing happened.
00:57:12We split a six and watched TV.
00:57:14Is that true?
00:57:18No, don't do that.
00:57:19What are you doing?
00:57:23Jesus.
00:57:30Central Standard Time in Dallas, Texas.
00:57:33He was riding in the presidential motorway.
00:57:352, 2, 5.
00:57:37Tunnel unit driving in war-drapping.
00:57:40T jumping sent no join the tunnel.
00:57:42Tunneling squad.
00:57:43Tunneling squad search.
00:57:44Um, the further is shot by fema-duel-arkey.
00:57:46Tunneling squad across...
00:57:48Maybe things will get better.
00:57:53what
00:58:00maybe things will get better
00:58:04sure
00:58:06it's generally safe to assert
00:58:09maybe things will get better
00:58:11I wanted to say that growing up
00:58:17it felt like there were two children
00:58:19and it wasn't me and you
00:58:22it was you and mom
00:58:23okay
00:58:25now that she's gone
00:58:26I will try
00:58:28I will try to do a better job
00:58:31of seeing you as an adult
00:58:32hey thank you
00:58:36despite the fact it seems you haven't
00:58:39matured and you feel more like
00:58:41you're 15 than 40
00:58:42yikes
00:58:43I guess I don't really know how old you are
00:58:46or if you were
00:58:47adopted
00:58:49same
00:58:51I always just assumed you were basically happy and that you really didn't have any problems
00:58:58yeah no that's that's that's not the case that's textbook narcissism
00:59:02I always kind of liked it when the two of you didn't get along
00:59:06I felt like it validated my own problems with her
00:59:09yes but
00:59:10you could have done more
00:59:12to bridge those gaps
00:59:13and had you pulled more weight
00:59:15it's possible the three of us would have had
00:59:17a more harmonious dynamic
00:59:18what are we doing here Mac
00:59:20Mac?
00:59:21yeah I'm not getting paid to sit here
00:59:23Jesus
00:59:24anything else?
00:59:37nope
00:59:38I don't know whether to try and get on better terms with my sister I think she hated my mother and me and she's transferred all of that hatred to me now
00:59:56well that's a good possibility you're going to be acting out in response to the discomfort you feel there
01:00:13I wanted I guess to have sex with Gail when I first met her
01:00:20for example
01:00:21well it seemed like the logical extension of my response to her being so attractive would be to sleep with her
01:00:29now I'm not so sure
01:00:31I'm not sure we aren't better off staying in the realm of fantasy
01:00:34sorry I'm not here
01:00:43sorry
01:00:44hey uh lousy it's Dick Anthony
01:00:48I ran into you at your ear
01:00:51Dick Anthony?
01:00:52the truth is and I might as well tell you this
01:00:54uh I do remember Dick Anthony pretty well
01:00:58we were basically friends in high school
01:01:00we didn't go to a big school and I was a
01:01:02brutal nerd
01:01:04even nerds were embarrassed for me
01:01:06except
01:01:07Dick Anthony
01:01:09I never really understood why he was such a fan of my work though
01:01:12I was a prodigy
01:01:19I was a prodigy
01:01:22but my lo-fi animating style never really evolved
01:01:27you know I was heralded on behalf of the idea of potential never realized
01:01:32and I think Dick Anthony reminds me of that
01:01:35leaving that aside for the moment what about the dalliance with your colleague's wife
01:01:39yeah that was a lousy thing to do
01:01:43you don't seem to have taken your friend into account there
01:01:50Kaminsky
01:01:52you don't seem to have taken Kaminsky's feelings into account seducing his wife
01:01:58first of all
01:02:00he doesn't seem to have feelings
01:02:03and I don't see it that way
01:02:04uh I see it as her having seduced me
01:02:07so
01:02:08your thesis is full of holes
01:02:11well
01:02:12we
01:02:13we shouldn't sleep with our friend's wives
01:02:16yes
01:02:17but with Gail I don't know
01:02:20yuck Gail
01:02:20that's not going to end well
01:02:22what is it
01:02:29oh this guy I ran into at the funeral
01:02:31the guy who called
01:02:32was texting me
01:02:33I gave my number
01:02:34he wants to have lunch
01:02:35have lunch with the guy
01:02:36I'm experimenting with setting boundaries
01:02:39by not getting back to people
01:02:41pretty tied up
01:02:48this week
01:02:50dick
01:02:51hey Dennis
01:02:55you know that guy
01:02:57Dennis
01:02:57Dennis
01:02:58did you know that Fitzgerald was convinced that the reason his book wasn't a bigger success
01:03:10was because Gatsby didn't have a single admirable female character
01:03:14and at the time most of the people reading novels were women
01:03:17no
01:03:20and I don't care
01:03:22how's the other project going
01:03:27Nabokov
01:03:28Gail told me about it
01:03:30I didn't know you knew her
01:03:32I ran into her at the funeral
01:03:34I had her in a Russian lit class
01:03:37back when she was just getting going here
01:03:39you had her huh
01:03:40mhm
01:03:41you might have told me
01:03:42says the king of being on the up and up
01:03:45listen
01:03:45oh you listen
01:03:47you are sleeping
01:03:48with my wife
01:03:50pretty sure that's past tense
01:03:52but go on
01:03:53normally that's not something you forgive someone for
01:03:55at least right away
01:03:57not
01:03:58right away
01:03:59but
01:04:01it's brought us closer together
01:04:04you and me
01:04:05me and my wife
01:04:07she also said you're lousy
01:04:10as in a lousy lay
01:04:11I hope that makes you feel better
01:04:14you are not the wronged party here
01:04:15I will say anything I like
01:04:18for a minute there
01:04:21I was going to get a revolver
01:04:22empty it into your midsection
01:04:24and watch you die
01:04:26I'm a bit adrift
01:04:34I guess I still wish I felt
01:04:37like you respected me more
01:04:39don't worry about it
01:04:42you and I are friends because of
01:04:46your professional and moral failings
01:04:48not despite them
01:04:50you know when I bought this futon
01:05:00it was half off
01:05:00and I asked the sales lady why
01:05:02and she said
01:05:02um because it's disgusting
01:05:04you got a bargain
01:05:05yeah
01:05:07I can't carry this for myself
01:05:12oh okay

01:05:24when you got out and started walking
01:05:25even though the car was still moving
01:05:27vaguely I think I must have sensed you were leaving me
01:05:29I was um unhappy
01:05:31you left me for that meathead
01:05:33what was his name
01:05:34oh yeah

01:05:37Bill Clinton

01:08:10Where do we land on the Great Gatsby?
01:08:32I think that book's more for dudes
01:08:34than I sort of stand by what I said
01:08:35about it being too excited about money.
01:08:37Okay, I guess over the course
01:08:39of the next 55, 60 years of your life,
01:08:41you'll have time to reconsider.
01:08:45Dick Anthony.
01:08:48Ozzy Carter.
01:08:51Thanks for blowing me off.
01:08:56I'm sorry!
01:08:57I'm sorry!
01:09:09I'm sorry!
01:09:16I'm sorry!
01:09:18You're talking about money.
01:09:22You're at the next 50, 30 gun.
01:09:23I was hoping to go last and summed things up, but I did not work out that way.
01:09:53Lousy Carter, my best friend.
01:10:00A great loss, mostly for me.
01:10:05I will be at least 30% lonelier with him gone, and I'm already pretty lonely.
01:10:12In deference to my husband, I won't go into any detail about any private moments I had with the deceased.
01:10:18But I have fond memories of him.
01:10:22And those memories will necessarily replace any future interaction I might have had with him.
01:10:31Lousy was special to me, but it's complicated.
01:10:37Whew, boy.
01:10:39Lousy Carter.
01:10:40What the fuck?
01:10:42Shot by some loser.
01:10:44What a way to go.
01:10:46Can I pass and have you come back to me?
01:10:53He had flaws, as we all do.
01:10:59But it was fun having lunch with him.
01:11:04I tried to teach him how to play chess.
01:11:08But that was hopeless.
01:11:11He was hopeless.
01:11:14I would have liked to have been there when he died, I think.
01:11:27Yeah, it was cool.
01:11:28It wasn't really sad.
01:11:31I guess the movie we're working on is going to go unfinished.
01:11:36Were you afraid you were going to be shot also?
01:11:40No.
01:11:43I would say carry on and make sure to finish it, but my heart's not in it.
01:11:52They wanted $470,000 for the rights.
01:12:01What the fuck?
01:12:02When were you going to tell me?
01:12:03I was going to wait.
01:12:05I like working with you.
01:12:08Plus, I was hoping to talk them down.
01:12:11To what, like $450,000?
01:12:15No one wants to see a movie about a pedophile creeping on a young girl.
01:12:27Probably true.
01:12:45You never had any fun.
01:12:48So I won't come around.
01:12:51You never had any fun.
01:12:55Any fun.
01:12:57No.
01:12:59Down in the basement.
01:13:02All alone with the high hopes.
01:13:05All right.
01:13:08All right.
01:13:11Well, it's a downpour.
01:13:14In the water, it is rising.
01:13:17And yes, she's a system.
01:13:20And the plan is so devising.
01:13:23Let's go.
01:13:31I look back on the man I was a year ago and I'm disappointed.
01:13:36Yes, it took something pretty drastic for me to turn my life around
01:13:41and shooting a guy is unforgivable.
01:13:44Of course.
01:13:46But it jarred something loose in me.
01:13:48Made me want to do better.
01:13:50I admit I didn't...
01:13:52I didn't even know Lousy Carter very well.
01:13:55I guess I always looked up to him.
01:13:58He's just a figment of my imagination.
01:14:01And I can do better.
01:14:04It's sad that somebody had to lose their life for me to come out of my shell.
01:14:09But, uh...
01:14:11It takes what it takes.
01:14:13Yikes.
01:14:15Yeah.
01:14:16Yeah.
01:14:17Yeah.
01:14:18Yeah.
01:14:19Yeah.
01:14:22So...
01:14:23You never had any fun
01:14:43So I won't come around
01:14:46You never had anyone
01:14:49So I won't let you down
01:14:52You never had any fun
01:14:55So I won't come around
01:14:59You never had any fun
01:15:04Hell, it's been a hard day
01:15:12And the hits keep on coming
01:15:15I step back to the old way
01:15:18You're just long distance running
01:15:21So we had a little argument outside of the bar
01:15:25And we get in our apartment to get out to the car
01:15:28And you make it look real
01:15:29And you pretend to see it all right
01:15:31All right, all right
01:15:33You never had any fun
01:15:38You never had anyone
01:15:44You never had any fun
01:15:51So I won't come around
01:15:54And you never had anyone
01:15:57You never had anything
01:15:59Ain't no guy
01:16:00So we still take around
01:16:00I went like
01:16:01Oh
01:16:02Oh
01:16:02You never had anything
01:16:03And you never had anyone
01:16:03I mean like
01:16:04it looks like you're just like
01:16:06You never had anything
