Chronicling a Manhattan dinner party that starts out good-natured and civil, it turns unexpectedly dark, as alcohol-fuel | dG1fMDBwRFN2Sm91V0E
Transcript
00:00Isn't that just like people to lie about what they actually want, who they are, really?
00:07I thought you preached enough shoes on the furniture.
00:10These aren't shoes. They're Stanford tuition.
00:12How exactly did you get those?
00:15Should I start or wait for Alexander and Blaine?
00:17Oh, no. No.
00:19Relax.
00:20I think things are better. I haven't seen them in a while.
00:24Or they succeeded and they're dead.
00:25Do you forget the last dinner party?
00:27Ali, Alex and Blaine, let the war games begin.
00:30What are these people?
00:32It's gonna be hell.
00:33Oh, my.
00:34Stop.
00:35I hardly remember a thing.
00:37Yeah, it was a spirited evening, wasn't it?
00:40Ellie started to tell us about those shoes.
00:43Oh, lovely shoes. Extraordinary, really.
00:46That's what I said.
00:48You think I'm opinionated, Blaine?
00:50He doesn't think that.
00:52Thank you, Alex. I can answer the question myself, really.
00:55How long have you been married?
00:57Nearly 15 years.
00:59Happily?
01:01Define happy.
01:02Why do women say that?
01:04I mean, is it a generational thing?
01:05Sexual?
01:06Rough.
01:07What?
01:08It's a loaded question.
01:10L.
01:14Somebody get her another drink.
01:17Maybe I will have another drink.
01:20Shall I go?
01:21Yeah, go to hell.
01:22You are not leaving.
01:23This is absurd.
01:24I can't stand this.
01:26Would you two just stop it?
01:28I mean, you're behaving like children.
01:30Hey!
01:32Come and make the day!
01:33Is that the kind of kink hot shot he made you do to get those shoes?
01:37The lady never divulges the secrets of how she acquires her footwear.
01:42Don't, Alex.
01:43Don't what?
01:45Talk about sex.
01:47I'm trying to keep it civilized.
01:48Now we're going to be civilized.
01:50The man lied.
01:52Does that not mean anything?
01:54Everyone lies.
01:55Is this why you invited us here tonight?
01:58No.
01:58It was for Abby.
02:00To celebrate her being home.
02:02Not true, Mom.
02:04You really should keep up the lies because you've been very consistent all evening.
02:09Mostly lying to yourself.
02:10We should leave.
02:11No.
02:12I think you deserve to hear the ending of this story.
02:14Don't you think so?
02:15Who are we to judge another person when we have so much swill in our own backyard?
02:19But my daughter is going to suffer the most because she is going to think there's something
02:24that she could have done.
02:26You gave me love.
02:30Is love enough?
02:32I guess that concludes the reign of the spirited evening.
02:38Who needs a drink?
02:41I do.
02:41Ellie.
02:43Are you going to finish telling us the story of those goddamn shoes?
02:49I'm waiting again.
02:52I'm holding my soul.
