00:00:00To be continued...
00:01:30I think I'm falling in love with someone else.
00:01:37I don't even know if it's anything.
00:01:47We haven't...
00:01:50I haven't...
00:01:53I wanted to talk to you first.
00:01:57Okay.
00:01:59I still love you.
00:02:05Okay.
00:02:09Do you want me to move out?
00:02:10No.
00:02:11I love living with you.
00:02:15Do you want me to move out?
00:02:18This is your house.
00:02:20It's our house.
00:02:25I love living with you, too.
00:02:28So...
00:02:31What do you want to do?
00:02:34I guess I'm just asking for your permission to see where this goes.
00:02:49Okay.
00:02:52Let's see where this goes.
00:02:54Do you hate me?
00:02:58I love you as much as ever.
00:03:01I love you.
00:03:02I love you.
00:03:03I love you.
00:03:04Even though there's a lot of people, I don't like that.
00:03:06Don't you?
00:03:07Don't you?
00:03:08I love you.
00:03:09I love you.
00:03:10I've been with you, you've been with you.
00:03:11I don't know.
00:03:41I don't know.
00:04:11It's five, four, three, two, one, you're up.
00:04:23I'm Sunny Lee, this is Max Music.
00:04:25Next up, Rexdale and Lawrence Heights represent Ghetto Concept and Crazy World.
00:04:30I don't know.
00:05:00My birth control expired.
00:05:19I didn't know it could do that.
00:05:21We haven't had sex in so long.
00:05:23My birth control expired.
00:05:24Yeah, I noticed.
00:05:31I didn't.
00:05:37What?
00:05:38Your shirt, it's enormous.
00:05:40It's a man's small.
00:05:42Well, you're not a small man.
00:05:44It's okay.
00:05:44It's cute.
00:05:45It makes you look like you're not wearing pants.
00:05:49Hey, I made you something.
00:05:53It's an old copy of The Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde.
00:05:55I've painted over the cover.
00:06:02I gotta go.
00:06:04Oh, do you want me to come with you?
00:06:05Nah, the last time we went out, you just ended up in a corner reading a book.
00:06:08Well, I enjoy going out with you.
00:06:10I always do.
00:06:11It's okay.
00:06:11I'll be back soon.
00:06:12I'll be back soon.
00:06:42Hey, Mystic Muffin.
00:06:54I like your shirt.
00:06:55No one feels good when his girlfriend starts falling for some other guy.
00:07:12Well, I didn't say I feel good, but I don't feel bad.
00:07:17It's what Sonny wants, and I'm willing to go along with it.
00:07:19Maybe you don't really love her.
00:07:21I love Sonny.
00:07:23She's the best girlfriend I've ever had.
00:07:24You've only had two other girlfriends.
00:07:26Eh.
00:07:27Well, she's the best of the three.
00:07:31And I think it shows how much we trust each other that we can talk about this.
00:07:33It'll never work.
00:07:34Sonny has access.
00:07:36Access?
00:07:37There's sex.
00:07:39Women have greater access to sex.
00:07:41Bad sex.
00:07:42Good or bad.
00:07:42You have access.
00:07:43What you need is a plan.
00:07:45You're not exactly social.
00:07:47What will you do to compete?
00:07:48Well, it's not a competition.
00:07:50Wait till she starts having sex.
00:07:51Then your jealousy will really set in.
00:07:53Yeah, fucking.
00:07:55He's not going to be actively listening, taking notes.
00:07:59You're not, right?
00:08:00Maybe you should.
00:08:01How will you have sex?
00:08:04How do you get sex, Kane?
00:08:06Well, I'm sensitive.
00:08:08I'm a terrific listener.
00:08:09Dad shit.
00:08:11Excuse me?
00:08:12The only woman who fuck you have crazy daddy issues.
00:08:14That is such an unfair byproduct of the patriarchy.
00:08:17Sorry, what?
00:08:19When men have mom shit, they strangle 15 co-eds.
00:08:22When women have dad shit, they dig guys in fedoras who make them feel stupid.
00:08:26What about girls with mom shit?
00:08:32They date musicians?
00:08:34Oh.
00:08:50Hey, Mo.
00:08:56Hey, Mo.
00:09:26Hey, Mo.
00:09:56It's late.
00:10:01Sorry.
00:10:03I didn't mean to wake you.
00:10:07I couldn't sleep.
00:10:10Oh.
00:10:11Oh.
00:10:26I can't.
00:10:47I just, I feel like because of Miles.
00:10:49It's complicated.
00:10:53I thought we were trying an open relationship.
00:10:59I know.
00:11:00I want to.
00:11:01But, um, I wish I was more open.
00:11:07It's fine.
00:11:08It's fine.
00:11:10I understand.
00:11:15I'm sorry.
00:11:17Don't be sorry.
00:11:19I'm not sorry.
00:11:20But we should get some sleep.
00:11:24Okay.
00:11:24Okay.
00:11:26Good night, Chester.
00:11:30Good night.
00:11:30Good night.
00:11:30Watch your step there.
00:11:41Watch your step there.
00:11:44Are you okay?
00:11:45Yeah.
00:11:45Are you sure?
00:11:47I'm fine.
00:11:50You can let go.
00:11:51I can handle it.
00:11:52Okay.
00:11:57Oh, my God.
00:11:58That doesn't look comfortable.
00:12:03That'll be comfortable.
00:12:04Let me fix it.
00:12:04No, you don't have to do that.
00:12:05Please, I want to.
00:12:12What's all this?
00:12:14Water.
00:12:15And this?
00:12:16That's the date I refilled it.
00:12:18You've got to get rid of these.
00:12:19They're taking up too much space.
00:12:20No, just leave them.
00:12:21Remember when the water main broke and the city shut off our water?
00:12:24Yeah, for like a day.
00:12:25Are you stockpiling for the end of the world?
00:12:33Oh, my age.
00:12:38So good.
00:12:39I am good.
00:12:39Get out of here.
00:12:41You're all about it.
00:12:43Are you serious?
00:12:44What are you going to do with that?
00:12:46It's not allowed.
00:12:46Oh, my God.
00:12:47I can't believe you.
00:12:48Hey, get out of here.
00:12:51I don't know.
00:12:51I don't know.
00:12:55You must have been emotionally devastated.
00:13:20I'm fine, you know.
00:13:23Listening to them felt like I'd conquered something negative in me.
00:13:26You know, it's perfectly natural to feel jealousy in a situation like that.
00:13:31Jealousy isn't natural.
00:13:32It's learned behavior.
00:13:34Go ahead and continue suppressing those emotions.
00:13:39Chester Brown, I love you.
00:13:41I just love you.
00:14:02I'm fine.
00:14:02I'm fine.
00:14:02Could you sign this for me?
00:14:18Don't be stupid.
00:14:21How's your line been?
00:14:23Mediocre.
00:14:25Don't lie to me.
00:14:26Long.
00:14:27It's been long.
00:14:28I've written more books than you.
00:14:30I know.
00:14:30Porn stars have longer lines than me.
00:14:34Porn stars?
00:14:39That's Mandy Moon.
00:14:41She's not a porn star.
00:14:42She's a centerfold.
00:14:43Whatever.
00:14:44Go get a picture if you want.
00:14:46Nah.
00:14:47I'm not that desperate.
00:14:49It's only 50 bucks.
00:14:5050 bucks is a lot of money just for a hug.
00:14:54I would rather
00:14:55you sign this for me.
00:14:57Chester, it's a comp.
00:15:11We always give each other our bucks.
00:15:13With the money you save, throw in another 50
00:15:15and you could hire a prostitute.
00:15:17A lot of guys do it the wrong way.
00:15:31Start by standing tall.
00:15:33Muscles engage.
00:15:35Squeeze the crap out of the dumbbell.
00:15:39Squeeze hard.
00:15:40Come right back down.
00:15:41Increase your punch power.
00:15:45You whack.
00:15:45And it's one knuckle.
00:15:47It slaps the bone.
00:15:49Oh.
00:15:49Pivot and turn.
00:15:50Chet, hey.
00:15:51Sorry, man.
00:15:52Did I wake you?
00:15:53Direct strike down.
00:15:54No.
00:15:54Oh, I bet I did.
00:15:55You're just being polite.
00:15:56Also, I got you a burrito last night.
00:15:58It's in the fridge.
00:15:58Oh.
00:15:59Thanks.
00:16:00Look, I know that this shit is dumb,
00:16:02but I fucking love it.
00:16:04You want to try?
00:16:05No.
00:16:06Oh, come on.
00:16:07I'll let you kick me in the crotch.
00:16:09Oh, I don't.
00:16:09I'm kidding.
00:16:10Come on, man.
00:16:11No, I'm not.
00:16:11Come on, Chester.
00:16:13No, it's fine.
00:16:13Yeah, come on.
00:16:14Let's go.
00:16:15Squeeze at the top.
00:16:15It's a great way to start.
00:16:16Turn back down.
00:16:18Squeeze at the top.
00:16:21Okay, so I want you to follow me.
00:16:23This is called the root down position.
00:16:26Okay.
00:16:27Generate more power with each kit.
00:16:29All right, I want your shoulders a little wider.

00:27:39Well, I'm exploring new methods of intimacy.
00:27:43Couldn't you wait to meet someone you like who likes you?
00:27:46I mean, that's what people normally do.
00:27:49Well, I don't want to be in another relationship.
00:27:53I thought the whole point was for us to, you know,
00:27:55try new things and...
00:27:57Yeah.
00:27:58No.
00:27:59I mean, yes.

00:28:24Don't be.
00:28:25I made a real fool of myself.

00:28:27Nothing is wrong with you.
00:28:28Okay?
00:28:29Nothing.
00:28:30Nothing.

00:28:37Let's see.
00:28:38Um, she was so nice.
00:28:39Uh, I only brought one book with me.
00:28:40I didn't want to bring my backpack.
00:28:41I didn't want that to be strange.
00:28:42Okay.
00:28:43All right.
00:28:44Okay.
00:28:45Okay.
00:28:46Okay.

00:28:52Let's see.
00:28:53Um, she was so nice.
00:28:55Uh, I only brought one book with me.
00:28:58I didn't want to bring my backpack.
00:28:59Didn't want that to be strange.
00:29:01It turned out really well.
00:29:24Remember this?
00:29:31She must think we're idiots.
00:29:39I wonder if she thinks we're silly giant dogs.
00:29:42Do you guys have a limp brush?
00:29:50I brought another helmet, so I'll drop you off and work for my haircut.
00:29:54Thanks, Carl.
00:30:01Hi, I'm in.
00:30:27Come on in.
00:30:28Did you do anything before this?
00:30:38I used to work at a massage parlor, but I hated it.
00:30:42A massage parlor or a rub and tug?
00:30:45A rub and tug.
00:30:46You still have to give these massages that really hurt my hands, and I don't know.
00:30:52I like this better.
00:30:53Less work, more money.
00:30:55All right.
00:31:00This is all extra.
00:31:02Thanks, Steve.
00:31:03Also, I wanted to give you this.
00:31:08Brought this.
00:31:09It's what I do.
00:31:12Wow.
00:31:13You make comics.
00:31:15That's so cool.
00:31:17You must have a great imagination.
00:31:21When I started paying for sex, I used a fake name.
00:31:25That's my real name.
00:31:26Chester Brown.
00:31:31Who's this?
00:31:33Louis Ryle?
00:31:35Louis Riel.
00:31:36The 19th century MΓ©tis leader who led two rebellions against the Canadian government.
00:31:41You probably learned about him in history class.
00:31:43So is this like a funny version?
00:31:45No.
00:31:46It's serious.
00:31:48Well, I have something to read later.
00:31:50You okay?
00:31:58Yeah, just, uh, running out of sperm.
00:32:03It's so fucking expensive.
00:32:06If this one doesn't take, I...
00:32:08You could adopt?
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11I mean, that's more expensive.
00:32:13Plus, there's the whole lesbian thing.
00:32:16Even now?
00:32:17Now and probably forever.
00:32:18I'm sorry.
00:32:23You know, Chester might give you some sperm.
00:32:26Chester's so agreeable, he'd give me his kidney, and I've only met the guy, like, three times.
00:32:36Did someone get that?
00:32:42Guys, good morning.
00:32:44Hello?
00:32:44Hello?
00:32:45This is, uh, two more.
00:32:47I don't want to talk to her.
00:32:51I don't want to talk to her.
00:32:54Just tell her if you have a run number.
00:32:56Just take...
00:32:57She's okay.
00:33:00I asked you to do one thing.
00:33:02Why is that so hard for you?
00:33:04My mom is like a Chinese fighting fish.
00:33:08She kills anyone else in the tank.
00:33:10There are boundaries.
00:33:11I have to set boundaries.
00:33:13Okay, okay, I can't.
00:33:14You don't want to talk to her?
00:33:15Here.
00:33:16Let go!
00:33:18Fuck.
00:33:20Sonic, I'm sorry.
00:33:22I'm sorry.
00:33:23Fuck.
00:33:24Listening to them argue is very unpleasant.
00:33:40Ugh.
00:33:40I do not see the attraction.
00:33:42I do.
00:33:43The guy's built, like, the Michelangelo statue.
00:33:45A lot of women like that.
00:33:47We're taught that passion involves objects flying at your head.
00:33:50It's easy to confuse passion with being treated like shit.
00:33:54I didn't give anything for a flying object in my head.
00:33:57Oh, please, Cecil.
00:33:58You know, our collective sympathy for you has long been depleted.
00:34:01I was supposed to be next.
00:34:04I've gone without sex longer than Chester.
00:34:07You cheated.
00:34:08It's not like I butted in line in front of you.
00:34:10Yeah, it is.
00:34:10You can't play a heart until a first heart's been broke.
00:34:13No, I just left the line you're in, the free sex line, and I walked over to the paying
00:34:17for sex line, which you could do, too.
00:34:19It moves a lot faster.
00:34:20There is no way I am paying for sex.
00:34:22The disease factor alone is too scary.
00:34:24Yes, plus you're too cheap.
00:34:26It's not expensive.
00:34:27I budgeted it out.
00:34:29Based on what I paid Ann plus tip, I could afford to see someone 17 times a year.
00:34:33I spent more than that on Sunny last year, and we didn't have sex anywhere close to 17
00:34:37times.
00:34:37Yes, and you're referring to the child you're currently exploiting?
00:34:41Ann is not a child.
00:34:41She's 21.
00:34:43She's very warm.
00:34:44She's very nice.
00:34:45I gave her one of my comics.
00:34:47Why does she know you're a cartoonist?
00:34:50Why are you talking to her at all?
00:34:52This is just supposed to be for sex.
00:34:53You're not supposed to talk to her.
00:34:54Well, getting to know each other adds to the experience.
00:34:57It makes it seem less cold and more intimate.
00:35:01If you ask me if you'd like an experience that's less cold and more intimate, you should
00:35:04try getting a girlfriend.
00:35:06Okay, you got...
00:35:07You can't play a heart until the first heart's been broken.
00:35:11Unbelievable.
00:35:12You're so quiet.
00:35:34It's hard to tell if you're finished.
00:35:36There's another girl who works here, Amanda.
00:35:42It's cool if you want to see her.
00:35:44What's she like?
00:35:46She's pretty.
00:35:47She has big breasts.
00:35:50She got a boot job.
00:35:51I'm not a big fan of fake breasts.
00:35:57You're never going to get implants, are you?
00:36:00I haven't thought about it.
00:36:03I hate the way mine look.
00:36:06They're perfect.
00:36:07Most guys like big boobs.
00:36:12Well, I like yours.
00:36:16Then book another appointment.
00:36:18Do you work in the evenings?
00:36:25I only work in the afternoons.
00:36:27At night, guys are drunk.
00:36:29They're the worst.
00:36:30Them and guys with big dicks.
00:36:33I wish all my clients were like you.
00:36:35Fuck!
00:36:42I can't wait the fuck out of this.
00:36:45Fuck!
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:48Oh!
00:36:49Oh!
00:36:49No kissing on the mouth, no digging for gold, no dining at the Y, no water sports, no body
00:37:08slides, no hugging, and we use condoms for everything, including blowjobs.
00:37:13Understood?
00:37:15Agreed.
00:37:19It's a very thorough inspection.
00:37:28You can never be too careful.
00:37:30Oh, of course.
00:37:32I think it's great that you and Anne share clients.
00:37:35Oh, yeah.
00:37:36She says you're nice.
00:37:37Oh, really?
00:37:39That's really kind of her.
00:37:42How long have you been here?
00:37:44A few months.
00:37:45I convinced her to leave the rub and tuck so we could go into business together.
00:37:49All clear.
00:37:54What do you want to do?
00:37:56Have sex.
00:38:00Can I get you guys a drink?
00:38:02Coffee.
00:38:03All right.
00:38:04Arabica or Robusto?
00:38:06I don't care.
00:38:07I have to ask.
00:38:10First one.
00:38:10I'll be right back with your drinks.
00:38:23Hey, folks.
00:38:25Are y'all having a beautiful day?
00:38:26I am.
00:38:27Yeah, yeah.
00:38:28I'm quitting Max Music.
00:38:39I'm starting my own production company.
00:38:43Ramon is pregnant.
00:38:44Suzo.
00:38:48Suzo.
00:38:49Gotta get my shit together.
00:38:53You're gonna be such good moms.
00:38:54Yes.
00:38:54You're gonna be such good moms.
00:38:56What are you doing here?
00:39:17I have an appointment with Ann.
00:39:19No.
00:39:20You have to leave.
00:39:21We're done.
00:39:21Well, what happened?
00:39:23The cops came by.
00:39:24They asked to speak to the boss.
00:39:26We don't have a boss.
00:39:27They arrest you?
00:39:28No.
00:39:29They wrecked everything.
00:39:31And they took our money.
00:39:32Where's Ann?
00:39:33She's on hiatus.
00:39:35Well, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:39:37If you see her, could you give her this?
00:39:42Right.
00:39:42Okay.
00:40:12What the fuck are you doing?
00:40:23Are you a fucking child?
00:40:27What the fuck's your party say?
00:40:30Carl!
00:40:42Carl and I got into a fight.
00:40:59He hates it when his hair gets wet.
00:41:02It goes frizzy.
00:41:07He threw him all across the room in her box.
00:41:10She could have died.
00:41:12It's a good thing you're still quick on your feet, Mo.
00:41:18He's gone.
00:41:21I think that's probably for the best.
00:41:22I don't want you to.
00:41:32I don't want you to.
00:41:35I just want to be melded.
00:41:37The women ain't coming back.
00:41:39I don't know.
00:42:09Glamorous.
00:42:19Is this too much?
00:42:21Um, well, it is an amorous and glamorous sponsorship,
00:42:26so you're supposed to look like you're amorous and glamorous.
00:42:30It looks like I have a vagina on my face.
00:42:39A little too much about mine.
00:42:42Berry Boy Band.
00:42:45V.I.P.
00:42:47Going out to Geordie.
00:42:50This is Max Music On Demand.
00:42:52We have Callie from Oshawa on the Line.
00:42:56Hi, Callie.
00:42:57Hi, Sunny.
00:42:58How are you, Callie?
00:43:00I'm good.
00:43:01How are you?
00:43:02Well, just sitting here trying to mitigate a profound sense of ennui.
00:43:12Um, you know, just trying to create something.
00:43:15Anything, actually, that isn't vapid and self-serving.
00:43:20And failing.
00:43:22Just failing.
00:43:23But, you know, that's fine.
00:43:24Failure is fine.
00:43:25How are you coping?
00:43:27I just wanted to hear New York City by Cub.
00:43:34You called me last night on the telephone.
00:43:40And I was glad to hear from me cause I was all alone.
00:43:46I was like...
00:43:55I got to hear from you.
00:43:56It was really fun.
00:43:59Hi.
00:44:00Are you Tina?
00:44:01Yeah.
00:44:02Fine.
00:44:03Would I rather be stuck in my hometown or stuck in a forest forever?
00:44:07Well, I think I'd like to be stuck in a forest forever.
00:44:10At least like you know you're in nature and I like nature.
00:44:14my hometown feels like
00:44:18where they would shoot horror movies, you know?
00:44:22And, like, the black people die in the horror flick.
00:44:25Like, I wouldn't make it out.
00:44:27Well, now I don't even feel like I have a home.
00:44:29I mean, I know you've been here longer,
00:44:31but I sometimes feel like this place is my home.
00:44:38Sit down.
00:44:44You're not a cop, are you?
00:44:48No.
00:44:50Are you a cop?
00:44:52No.
00:45:02Great.
00:45:14Okay.
00:45:18I don't think I can do this.
00:45:21Why not?
00:45:22I...
00:45:23I just don't want to stay.
00:45:26Na, na, na, na.
00:45:28We're in a house of powerful people.
00:45:32And sometimes men come on my chest.
00:45:37I like your optimism.
00:45:38Oh.
00:45:41Oh.
00:45:44Don't be afraid.
00:45:46We're just women here.
00:45:47What type of lady or service are you looking for?
00:45:51Oh, I can choose anyone?
00:45:52Of course.
00:45:54Um.
00:45:57You?
00:46:00Angelina?
00:46:03You don't have to.
00:46:04Mm-hmm.
00:46:29Uh, I'm definitely going to want to see you again.
00:46:32Uh, it's Angelina, right?
00:46:34I'm Chester.
00:46:35Um.
00:46:36I think it was really lucky us meeting today.
00:46:40You know?
00:46:41Because, I mean, you never know what type of guy's walking in here.
00:46:45And, uh, I never know exactly what kind of situation I'm walking into.
00:46:49So, uh, yeah.
00:46:52I think it was really nice.
00:46:57What do you think?
00:46:57Maybe she's a sex slave.
00:47:04Just because she didn't speak English?
00:47:06The brothel was run in an egalitarian way, not by sex traffickers.
00:47:11Uh-huh.
00:47:12Look, if I thought she was a sex slave, I would try to help her.
00:47:15Did you ask her?
00:47:17Well, she didn't speak English.
00:47:18Why do you always go for gorgeous young women and not someone more mature?
00:47:30Why do you never date Asian guys?
00:47:32People have their types.
00:47:34You know I was in love with Troy Takahashi.
00:47:37He wasn't into me.
00:47:38He said I was like a sister.
00:47:39I would be totally fine being with a more mature woman.
00:47:42I'm just saying, when I can't see the photo,
00:47:44the odds of finding someone attractive are higher with the younger person.
00:47:46Coming from a pasty white guy?
00:47:49That's fucking ridiculous.
00:47:57I mean, she is right.
00:48:00You are old.
00:48:01And pasty.
00:48:02And strangely fragile, like a baby bird.
00:48:05And honestly, I'm shocked that you're not tired by this lifestyle.
00:48:08It's sad.
00:48:10Don't feel sad for me.
00:48:11I feel great.
00:48:12I answer to no one.
00:48:14I'm enjoying myself.
00:48:15Don't you think it's sad for her?
00:48:16I don't know.
00:48:17I don't know how she feels about it.
00:48:19Some women like it.
00:48:20Some don't.
00:48:21For others, it's no different than you doing a commercial art illustration.
00:48:24Yes, well, I hate that I have to make illustrations for money.
00:48:27I don't understand why you don't want, like, a real relationship.
00:48:31Romantic love is bullshit.
00:48:32And I'm not wasting any more time chasing it.
00:48:34Yeah, touchy-touchy.
00:48:35Romance is for people who are insecure,
00:48:37who need to feel that they're lovable,
00:48:40or good-looking, or at least nice.
00:48:43You're not saying that everyone in a romantic relationship
00:48:46suffers from a fragile ego, are you?
00:48:49I suppose they could be in it for other reasons.
00:48:52There are other reasons.
00:48:53Well, how would you know?
00:48:55You haven't been in anything lasting longer than eight months.
00:48:57Okay, now see here.
00:48:58Cecil, you're a chronic masturbator.
00:49:01Huh?
00:49:01Laura?
00:49:03Yes?
00:49:04I can't think of anything bad to say about you.
00:49:06Yeah, of course you can't think of anything bad to say about her.
00:49:09She hasn't had sex with you.
00:49:10You know, you idolize women that won't have sex with you.
00:49:13You look down on the ones that do.
00:49:14Because you secretly hate yourself.
00:49:18I learned that in therapy.
00:49:19You're projecting.
00:49:21Uh, no, no, no, it's fine.
00:49:22We all hate ourselves.
00:49:23I don't hate myself.
00:49:25I think I respect myself quite a bit.
00:49:27Yeah, you're right.
00:49:28You are pretty arrogant.
00:49:32I must be completely honest with you.
00:49:46Fuck.
00:49:48I must be completely frank with you.
00:49:53I must be completely frank with you.
00:49:57I must be completely frank with you.

00:56:08This is weird.
00:56:32Why?
00:56:34I'm snuggling.
00:56:36I've kind of forgotten what it feels like.
00:56:38Do you always kiss your clients?
00:56:43Not always.
00:56:45Alcohol's more expensive, so I threw in a few extras.
00:56:50Do you have a girlfriend?
00:56:52No.
00:56:54I don't want one.
00:56:56Romantic love is not a good thing.
00:57:00Don't you want to live in a world where people care about each other?
00:57:03Sure, but romantic love and real love, there's a difference between the two.
00:57:09Romance wants you to own someone, and that's the same as slavery.
00:57:14It's a bit much.
00:57:17Slavery is forced on people.
00:57:19Love is a choice.
00:57:20Yeah, but they come from the same root.
00:57:24I've felt jealous and possessive of my girlfriends, but I've never felt that way about my friends.
00:57:31I don't feel that way about you.
00:57:33I know you have other clients.
00:57:35Yeah, but some couples are just right for each other.
00:57:38It depends on the chemistry.
00:57:39Yeah, but they change over time.
00:57:44You know, relationships are too much work.
00:57:46I don't want to have to work that hard.
00:57:49If I met the right person, I'd be happy to do the work.
00:57:54What about sex work?
00:57:56Oh, that I want to be paid for.
00:58:03You're Chester Brown.
00:58:04I read your last book.
00:58:11Did you like it?
00:58:12Most of it.
00:58:15It was sweet and sad.
00:58:17Writing from your own life.
00:58:19I could relate to how difficult it was for you to talk to people when you were a teenager.
00:58:24Especially the ones you had a crush on.
00:58:29But you seem so confident.
00:58:32I'm glad you think so.
00:58:34Are you okay that I know who you are?
00:58:39Absolutely.
00:58:40I don't have nothing to hide.
00:58:43I'm comfortable with this.
00:58:46I like this.
00:58:48Me too.
00:58:51But I don't know about this bed.
00:58:54I think you're going to need a bigger one.
00:58:57One that'll fit both of us.
00:58:58Oh.
00:59:04Oh, wait.
00:59:13Forget this.
00:59:15Right.
00:59:16That's important.
00:59:18Thanks.
00:59:22So I just finished the fourth issue of my Louis Ariel series.
00:59:25Maybe I could show it to you sometime.
00:59:27I'd love that.
00:59:32Hi.
00:59:35Sunny.
00:59:36This is Ulyssa.
00:59:38Ulyssa, this is Sunny.
00:59:40I'm just, uh, I'll just, good luck.
00:59:46You said you'd never bring anyone here.
00:59:51I know.
00:59:53I know.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:56It won't happen again.
01:00:00This is fucked.
01:00:02Was that your girlfriend?
01:00:03My ex-girlfriend.
01:00:07Huh.
01:00:07Interesting arrangement.
01:00:09Chester, I like you.
01:00:11But this doesn't work for me either.
01:00:13Hey.
01:00:36What's up?
01:00:37So it's getting pretty serious with Reed.
01:00:46Yeah.
01:00:46He's a nice guy.
01:00:48He wants to move in.
01:00:52Hmm.
01:00:53But he thinks it's weird.
01:00:55All of us living together.
01:00:57It's such a small house.
01:00:58I, uh, yeah, I understand.
01:01:12That's what you want.
01:01:16Thanks.
01:01:16Thanks.
01:01:28Thanks.
01:01:50Bye.
01:01:51Bye.
01:01:51Bye.
01:01:52What?
01:01:53Bye.
01:01:53Bye.
01:01:54Bye.
01:01:54Bye.
01:01:56Bye.
01:02:28I love it.
01:02:45You love it?
01:02:50Maybe you put that in the hallway?
01:02:53I like it here.
01:02:58I like it here.
01:03:28Here at 322 Spadina, Emma Goldman, the feminist and anarchist dubbed the most dangerous woman
01:03:34in America, lived on the second floor in the winter of 1926.
01:03:39Emma Goldman was put off by Toronto's small-minded conservatism.
01:03:44Fortunately, she was also a free love advocate who spoke passionately in favor of birth control
01:03:49despite violating the city's blasphemy laws.
01:03:53Chester?
01:03:54I never go home to your family.
01:03:58I never go home to your family.
01:04:02I never go home to your family.
01:04:24Oh, yeah.
01:04:25Never pay people.
01:04:30Smell her to death.
01:04:32I think her heart was perfect.
01:04:33You're okay.
01:04:34It's beautiful.
01:04:34It's beautiful.
01:04:37Love for it.
01:04:37Love for it.
01:04:39I'm very glad you're into each other.
01:04:59You sure know your history.
01:05:02That's my jam, architecture and morality.
01:05:06So how did you get into sex work?
01:05:09At university.
01:05:10I was working part-time at an escort agency and started filling in for the girls who couldn't
01:05:16make it into work.
01:05:18It gave me confidence.
01:05:20Made me feel sexy.
01:05:23And I was making a lot more money than my friends at school.
01:05:30Since we saw each other last, I've decided to downsize.
01:05:35I've been paring down my client list.
01:05:37You made the cut.
01:05:43Oh.
01:05:51For you.
01:05:52The new issue of the Lutery L series.
01:05:55Nice.
01:05:57Can you sign it for me?
01:05:58Of course.
01:05:59Um, but make it out to Denise, please.
01:06:10Denise is my real name.
01:06:12Ulysses is my professional name.
01:06:17Denise.
01:06:17Thanks.
01:06:28Can I ask you a question?
01:06:31Depends.
01:06:32Why do you still do this?
01:06:35Well, I'm my own boss.
01:06:39I set my own rates.
01:06:41I do what I want, when I want.
01:06:42It's more than fucking, it's, it's work.
01:06:48Empathy work, but work.
01:06:52I don't know.
01:06:53I fuck for money and I enjoy it.
01:06:57It sounds potentially draining.
01:07:00It's not draining.
01:07:01I mean, yeah, it's draining sometimes, but it's not right now.
01:07:07I'll let you know if it is.
01:07:08Damn, Laura, your line is crazy.
01:07:32They can wait five minutes while I rest my face.
01:07:35Yes, you're here.
01:07:36The book is great, Laura.
01:07:39Your books were always great.
01:07:40Except now, readers like women, so that's good for you.
01:07:45Give it six months and everyone will hate us again, but for now, it's pretty nice.
01:07:53You know, I worry about these signings.
01:07:55Every year they get more and more corporate.
01:07:58Well, at least the porn stars are still here.
01:08:01She's a centerfold.
01:08:03Whatever.
01:08:03Whatever.
01:08:03Come on, I've been trying to buy this.
01:08:06Mommy!
01:08:07Oh, hi.
01:08:08There you go.
01:08:12I'm going over.
01:08:14What?
01:08:15I know you're sexually enlightened, but maybe it's not a good idea to approach the woman
01:08:18that you pleasure yourself to while she's with her child.
01:08:21I don't jerk off to her anymore.
01:08:22Hey, he's doing it.
01:08:31Hi, Mandy?
01:08:33Hi.
01:08:34Hi.
01:08:34I just wanted to thank you.
01:08:37You were a big part of my life.
01:08:39I'm a fan.
01:08:42You're welcome.
01:08:43Oh, what didn't you like about it?
01:08:55I thought it was computer-generated.
01:08:58Art should be hand-drawn.
01:08:59If it's going to hang in a gallery, it should be original art.
01:09:02Otherwise, the guy at the print shop making the photocopy should be the one making $5,000.
01:09:06You're so old-fashioned.
01:09:10So, should we call it a night, or do you want to go back to your place?
01:09:15My place?
01:09:18I just need to swing by an ATM.
01:09:36Chester, I have to tell you something.
01:09:47I'm 34, Chet.
01:09:49It's time I hung up my heels.
01:09:52I'm down to my last few clients, and...
01:09:56I want to explore my options.
01:10:00I think I want to go back to school.
01:10:06But I really like this.
01:10:17What?
01:10:18What?
01:10:22What if it was just you and me?
01:10:26That...
01:10:27That would be complicated.
01:10:31Not necessarily.
01:10:32Not if...
01:10:34I was still paying you.
01:10:35I don't think about it.
01:10:52Sloths move extremely slowly, and only when it is necessary.
01:10:57They spend 90% of their life motionless.
01:11:00Sloths are solitary, and rarely make contact with one another.
01:11:04The three-toed sloth breeds year-round.
01:11:08Hello?
01:11:09We should go to Costa Rica and hang out with sloths.
01:11:12They are so relaxed.
01:11:14I need that.
01:11:15I need to slow down and be around that kind of energy.
01:11:17If you want to jump on a plane to Costa Rica to practice quietude,
01:11:20we should see if you can make it through a two-hour movie without chewing through your own thumb.
01:11:24This is important to me.
01:11:27Okay.
01:11:27We wrap on the 12th, then let's go to Costa Rica.
01:11:31I'm unable to locate a male for more than...
01:11:33I've never felt so peaceful.
01:11:46I've never felt so peaceful, so serene.
01:11:50This is perfect.
01:11:59It's all I've ever wanted.
01:12:07Sunny?
01:12:09Yeah?
01:12:09Yeah.
01:12:09I think I'm falling in love with someone else.
01:12:22I watched Criterion movies.
01:12:25I sprouted my own alfalfa.
01:12:27I signed up for a 10-day silent meditation retreat.
01:12:30I did everything right, and it didn't matter.
01:12:37Can I be honest with you?
01:12:38Just be alone.
01:12:42With the love of God, I haven't liked one of your boyfriends since Chester.
01:12:46I don't even know if I'd like Chester.
01:12:49You've been in a relationship ever since I've known you.
01:12:53Maybe it's time to take a break from that.
01:12:57Shouldn't you be looking after your children?
01:13:00I got the day off.
01:13:01I earned it, and I'm taking it.
01:13:08I'm going to take a few weeks to deal with about two years' worth of damage to my body.
01:13:16But after I'm done,
01:13:18can I have a job?
01:13:23You're hired.
01:13:23Well, bye-bye.
01:13:44Oh, wait.
01:13:45Don't forget your money.
01:13:46I always do that.
01:13:52You are so distracting.
01:13:53I'm, uh, I'm thinking of writing about this.
01:13:59About what?
01:14:01My experiences.
01:14:02Paying for sex.
01:14:04I think it could do some good.
01:14:06You want to be the Louis Riel of Johns?
01:14:08No.
01:14:10I just want to write the truth.
01:14:13Nice stuff.
01:14:14Ugly stuff.
01:14:15Maybe it could...
01:14:17I don't know.
01:14:18I think I just need to write it.
01:14:21Am I a character in it?
01:14:23I hope so.
01:14:24I won't include any of your personal stuff.
01:14:30Okay.
01:14:31Mention me as little as possible.
01:14:32Whatever you want.
01:14:39See you in two weeks.
01:14:48No.
01:15:17No.
01:15:17Oh, thank you for loving me.
01:15:42You'll always be with me.
01:15:49Music for the funeral of Queen Mary by Henry Purcell.
01:16:17I ran into Suzu.
01:16:27She told me about Moe.
01:16:31Hey, I wanted to return your house keys.
01:16:41You can keep them.
01:16:43As a spare, in case I lock myself out.
01:16:47So if you're the only one who sees Denise, and she's the only one who sees you, what do you call that?
01:16:57Wonderful.
01:16:59It's wonderful.
01:17:13Wonderful.
01:17:15It's wonderful.
01:17:17Oh.
01:17:19Thanks.
01:17:31You're welcome.
01:17:33You know, for a man, dead set against romantic love.
01:17:43You're the most romantic man in the world.
01:17:47That's a good line.
01:17:51Can I use that in my book?
01:17:53Sure.
01:17:55What are you up to tonight?
01:18:03Uh, Denise and I are going to see a play.
01:18:05What time's it at?
01:18:07Soon.
01:18:13Do you want me to stay?
01:18:15Don't feel obligated.
01:18:17I thought you were anti-obligation.
01:18:19It's not an obligation.
01:18:21If we were together, it would be, but...
01:18:25You're my friend.
01:18:27So, it's a choice.
01:18:29You should go.
01:18:33Five more minutes.
01:18:37Five more minutes.
01:18:39I never stopped loving you.
01:19:01I never stopped loving you.
01:19:05I never stopped loving you.
01:19:07I never stopped loving you.
01:19:11Never stopped loving you.
