00:07:01It's fine.
00:07:03The photographer just got out of town.
00:07:05He's American.
00:07:06I hate Americans.
00:07:09Oh, that reminds me.
00:07:10Something came to you today.
00:07:11For my angel in black.
00:07:15I've searched for all for me.
00:07:19It's in German.
00:07:25You're a finalist for a poetry grant?
00:07:38What?
00:07:39You applied for a grant?
00:07:40I do stuff.
00:07:41I'm so proud of you.
00:07:44You don't understand.
00:07:45If I get this grant, I'll be like a real adult.
00:07:47Like an actual poet.
00:07:48People will talk about me.
00:07:53What do I have to do?
00:07:56Read it.
00:07:57Read it!
00:07:58Okay.
00:07:58You have to prepare another poem to read in front of the commission.
00:08:09And you schedule it in the next two weeks.
00:08:10So I just have to write the best poem of my life.
00:08:17Hey, can I wear this tonight?
00:08:19It'd be cute on you.
00:08:22Never mind.
00:08:23Man on the chair moves, expanding his legs to oblivion.
00:08:32It is like he has a sudden need to fill the void.
00:08:38The void of everything with his cells.
00:08:41I stand now in a reality where only the white, plastic, garden chair is committed to honesty.
00:08:53Why do you always get your read before me?
00:08:56I want my body to dance like plastic when it burns.
00:09:02Or sway.
00:09:05I bet her parents give her money.
00:09:06They have to.
00:09:07Close to your heat, my edges get softly uneven.
00:09:12Do you think she's prettier than me?
00:09:14But if life has heat sometimes, I'm not allowed to be involved.
00:09:23So I would rather evaporate.
00:09:37Thanks, Sylvie.
00:09:43Next, Charlotte Parks will be reading.
00:09:45Woo!
00:09:52Thank you for that wonderful reading, Sylvie.
00:09:55I see on average 5.6 pleasant faces a day, and things are fine.
00:10:11I know pretty girls won't make life bearable, but it feels enough sometimes like they might.
00:10:19That was some dark shit, Chuck, that you were saying last night.
00:10:24I think everyone found it very alienating indeed.
00:10:28Darling, when you said those things, I know you didn't mean them.
00:10:32I know birds shouldn't be chased out of a sanctuary and shot.
00:10:37It's just that it's just that it's so much fun to do it anyway.
00:10:48Wow.
00:10:49That was quite moving.
00:10:52Familiar somehow.
00:10:54What's up, Sylvie?
00:10:55I heard you were a finalist for the Scheinland Grand.
00:10:59How did you hear that?
00:11:00I literally just found out.
00:11:03Remo told me.
00:11:11I'm a finalist, too.
00:11:13I can't tell you how enthralling that is for me.
00:11:15Actually, there's somebody I wanted to introduce you to.
00:11:23Oh, really?
00:11:24Mm-hmm.
00:11:25My flatmate.
00:11:26Oh, your flatmate.
00:11:28Oliver was just telling me how he's never been with a guy.
00:11:31Yeah, it's embarrassing, really.
00:11:33It's never too late.
00:11:37You're getting really good.
00:11:40Do you two know each other?
00:11:43Wait.
00:11:44It's your Oliver, Oliver.
00:11:46How could you not tell me he was the photographer?
00:11:49You only listen to me if I'm talking about you.
00:11:51This is definitely about me.
00:11:54Sorry.
00:11:55I'll be back.
00:12:03What are you doing here?
00:12:05I love poetry.
00:12:06Berlin.
00:12:08I, uh, have a solo show.
00:12:10Oh, I have a solo show.
00:12:12Oh, Charlie.
00:12:12Hey.
00:12:14Um, this is Oliver.
00:12:16Hi.
00:12:17He's from Los Angeles.
00:12:21Hey, nice read tonight.
00:12:22Thanks.
00:12:25You're a poet, too?
00:12:27No.
00:12:28No.
00:12:28No, Oliver actually takes photographs of naked women.
00:12:32Okay.
00:12:33You want to smoke outside?
00:12:38You fuck that guy?
00:12:48Are you jealous already?
00:12:50I'm not jealous.
00:12:52I'm just asking as a friend.
00:12:56Nathan, are you kidding?
00:13:02Are you homesick?
00:13:07I do kind of miss Americans.
00:13:08It's hard to have a good conversation in English here.
00:13:12All the nuances get lost.
00:13:19So how come you're not a famous poet yet?
00:13:22That is why you broke up with me, right?
00:13:23To move here and be a famous writer?
00:13:25I didn't break up with you.
00:13:26I didn't break up with you.
00:13:27You didn't break up with me?
00:13:29Oh.
00:13:32It's funny because I remember, like, you didn't even say goodbye.
00:13:38What?
00:13:38I should actually go.
00:13:46When can we hang out again?
00:13:52I don't think that's a good idea.
00:13:54It's been a year.
00:13:56We're in Berlin together.
00:13:58We can't hang out.
00:14:03I really hope your show goes well.
00:14:06Okay.
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:25It's me.
00:14:27What are you doing here?
00:14:29Can I sleep over?
00:14:38I don't know.
00:14:52I don't know.
00:15:03I don't know.
00:15:33I'm so sexy and fun and fucking doomed.
00:15:54I'm afraid of myself, to be honest.
00:15:57I'm scary and delicate and I don't want to die at this party.
00:16:03Seriously?
00:16:05Uh, can I have a cappuccino, please?
00:16:09How do you know where I work?
00:16:11Aren't you going to ask me how I am?
00:16:13How are you?
00:16:15Not bad. I went to have breakfast on the spree.
00:16:19Did you really like my poem last night?
00:16:29Yeah, I did.
00:16:31Felt...honest.
00:16:33Did you think it was honest enough?
00:16:35Was it more honest than Sylvie's poem?
00:16:37Who's Sylvie?
00:16:39The girl who read before me.
00:16:41I don't know.
00:16:59That'll be $2.50.
00:17:01You got a break coming up?
00:17:03Just took one.
00:17:05When's the next one?
00:17:07Never.
00:17:17That's really bad.
00:17:19Come on.
00:17:20Come on.
00:17:21I need to talk to you.
00:17:22Let me buy you an ice cream.
00:17:24I hate ice cream.
00:17:26What'd you want to talk to me about?
00:17:29I wanted to say that I know that I did a lot of things, which...
00:17:37But you hurt me a lot too, you know.
00:17:40I mean, there was a lot of...that.
00:17:43So, I don't know.
00:17:44But I, I, I, you know, I...
00:17:46It was kind of equal, but I think I wanted to just...
00:17:49Are you in some kind of program?
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:53Maybe I am in some sort of program.
00:17:54So what?
00:17:58Honestly, Ollie, it's fine.
00:18:01It was a long time ago, and I had to get my life together.
00:18:07Hi.
00:18:11How's it going?
00:18:13Did you steal a pair of Marian's shoes?
00:18:17No.
00:18:18She's freaking out.
00:18:19She thinks I'm cheating on her that I gave them to my other girlfriend.
00:18:23Can I see you later?
00:18:24Are you...
00:18:26Are you insane?
00:18:27I'm not seriously thin ice here.
00:18:29Listening to your domestic issues is like the most boring thing I can imagine.
00:18:33Just break up already.
00:18:36Hello?
00:18:37Hello?
00:18:45Everything okay?
00:18:48It's fine.
00:18:50Okay.
00:18:53Well, hey, I wanted to talk to you about something else too.
00:18:55I need a new portrait for my show, and I wanted to take a picture of you.
00:19:02Don't you have enough pictures of me?
00:19:05I can pay you.
00:19:07I'm serious. The gallery's giving me money.
00:19:10No matter of tobacco.
00:19:11What?
00:19:12Did you take this show because of me?
00:19:13No.
00:19:14Of course not.
00:19:16What?
00:19:17Did you take this show because of me?
00:19:20No.
00:19:22Of course not.
00:19:23Of course not.
00:19:37Emerging the cafe.
00:19:39Tender.
00:19:41A gentle greeting.
00:19:43Waving.
00:19:45Fractures the night.
00:19:48Moon kissed street lamps explode.
00:19:51One moment.
00:19:53Trained and submissive.
00:19:55Your eyes take bait brilliant.
00:19:59The listless miracle gleam pilfered.
00:20:03Dazzling.
00:20:05Held in place.
00:20:06A shrug sends it away.
00:20:08Lonely calls to return.
00:20:11Discerning auriculars fickle at night.
00:20:20What the fuck are discerning auriculars?
00:20:23We're not supposed to ask questions yet.
00:20:25Does anyone else know what that is?
00:20:29The feathers that cover bird's ears.
00:20:32It's called urban owl.
00:20:35I love the imagery of the moon in the pupil.
00:20:38Stealing light, stopping everything.
00:20:41Catching an owl, a street lamp, scaring it off, refusing to listen.
00:20:47It's such a beautiful metaphor.
00:20:49Is it? Come on, Nathan.
00:20:52I mean, nothing happens.
00:20:54A guy looks at an owl, owl flies away.
00:20:57You're setting it all up, but you're missing any opportunity for a conviction.
00:21:01Are there owls in cities?
00:21:03I actually saw an owl once in Berlin.
00:21:05There are no owls in Berlin.
00:21:06Yes, there are.
00:21:07Who cares if you saw an owl?
00:21:09How did it make you feel?
00:21:12I was sad.
00:21:13Well, then put that in the palm.
00:21:15Yeah, I agree with that.
00:21:19Okay.
00:21:21Thanks, everyone.
00:21:24Charlie, you were gonna read something tonight?
00:21:27It's a work in progress.
00:21:32I'm so sexy and fun and fucking doomed.
00:21:36Charlie?
00:21:37Hey.
00:21:38Hi, guys.
00:21:39Bye.
00:21:40Bye.
00:21:41What's up?
00:21:42Can I ask a favor?
00:21:43Bye.
00:21:44Bye.
00:21:45Bye.
00:21:46I have a couple poems I could really use your help on.
00:21:49Do you think we could meet up and you could give me your thoughts?
00:21:51Oh.
00:21:52This is pretty crazy for me right now.
00:21:53I don't know if I'm gonna have time.
00:21:54Well, maybe I could help with your brand poem.
00:21:55Maybe.
00:21:56Okay.
00:21:57Bye.
00:21:58Bye.
00:21:59Bye.
00:22:00I'm gonna get you in the top.
00:22:01Chao.
00:22:02I'll get you in the top.
00:22:03John.
00:22:28Hey, wait up.
00:22:33Hey.
00:22:35What were you and Nathan talking about?
00:22:37None of your business, Sylvie.
00:22:39How's it going with the cramp poem?
00:22:41Amazing.
00:22:43You know that the Schleinerland people,
00:22:45they take plagiarism quite seriously?
00:22:48I mean, you may have everyone else fooled,
00:22:50but I know Kenneth Cop when I hear him.
00:22:53Immature poets imitate, mature poets steal.
00:22:56Yeah.
00:22:58I'm sure they will see it that way.
00:23:06Tobacco?
00:23:08American spirit.
00:23:10American spirit.
00:23:26American spirit.
00:23:40I'm so sexy and fun and fucking doomed.
00:24:01I'm afraid of myself, to be honest.
00:24:05I'm scary and delicate and I don't want to die
00:24:10at this party, whimpering in white shorts
00:24:15or laughing maniacally in my safari hat.
00:24:40You're going to be a good night.
00:24:45I'm sorry.
00:24:48I'm sorry.
00:24:51I'm sorry.
00:24:54Let's go.
00:25:24Hey!
00:25:54Hey!
00:25:59Hey!
00:26:03Hey!
00:26:05Hey!
00:26:09Hey!
00:26:13PHONE RINGS
00:26:43Why do you steal these clothes?
00:26:50Because I can't afford them.
00:26:54You foreigners.
00:26:56How long have you been here? Over a year?
00:27:00Can you even speak a word of German?
00:27:03Ein Cappuccino bitte.
00:27:06Sehr beeindruckend.
00:27:09But I hope you don't understand what I'm saying.
00:27:12Okay, I don't speak German.
00:27:14If you ever enter that store again, you'll be immediately arrested.
00:27:19Can I at least keep the shoes?
00:27:26Euer Ehren, I'm just a subject of late capitalism and try to get in a brutal and unrighteous system.
00:27:33It's not the fault of my work in the culture industry,
00:27:39but I don't have the tools to fulfill them.
00:27:42I know that I'm just a consumer of the market.
00:27:47But I'm not a victim like the store that I stole,
00:27:50if not even more.
00:27:52I'm going to demand these goods.
00:27:54Don't think that they're going to stop me if I'm ready to steal them.
00:27:59Everything's going to be alright.
00:28:09No, it's not.
00:28:14I can't finish this poem.
00:28:17Francis is in love with me.
00:28:19I don't have any money.
00:28:20I'm going to have to go to jail.
00:28:22When does everything bad keep happening to me?
00:28:27Darling, they don't send people to jail for being losers.
00:28:31Hm?
00:28:32I got arrested for stealing.
00:28:34Seriously?
00:28:36Don't tell anybody.
00:28:38And if I don't come up with 800 Euro, I have to go to jail.
00:28:46Do you have 800 Euro?
00:28:49I don't have 10 Euros.
00:28:51But don't worry.
00:28:53We'll figure this out.
00:28:57I should just kill myself.
00:29:08Hey, do you want to go to a party?
00:29:12Whose party?
00:29:18Want another one?
00:29:20Not yet.
00:29:25Did you ever watch Kathy Acker's blue tape?
00:29:27Yeah, I think so.
00:29:28In it, she says Alan Sondheim reads that letter she wrote him and she says that her desire for Sondheim comes out of this dark wish to fuck your father.
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:38But ultimately only to destroy him.
00:29:39Mm-hmm.
00:29:40And I've been thinking about it and I realized, you know, my dad, he's like, he's the first emotionally withholding guy who doesn't like me.
00:29:46And I've just been cycling through that trauma.
00:29:48I've just been trying to fill that void of parental love for so long and now I'm at a point where I don't know. I don't know if I'll be able to be with somebody.
00:29:56I mean, I'm ready. I'm ready to be a great partner for a perfect hot person who will never leave me. But at this point, I just can't imagine doing that. I feel like my father's actually ruined my life, like irreparably.
00:30:09Franz isn't texting you back?
00:30:11No. He hasn't texted me fucking once.
00:30:15Hey, why don't you borrow the money from Oliver?
00:30:18I'd rather go to jail than give him that power over me.
00:30:27Do you think you could kill someone?
00:30:29Who you want to kill?
00:30:31Sylvie.
00:30:33Then I wouldn't have to worry about winning that grant.
00:30:35I always picture you as more of a narcissist than a sociopath.
00:30:38You think I'm a narcissist?
00:30:40Hello.
00:30:42Hey.
00:30:43How's it going?
00:30:44Hey.
00:30:45Good, how are you?
00:30:46Good, too.
00:30:47Good.
00:30:48Hi.
00:30:49Hi.
00:30:50Do you want a bump?
00:30:51Uh...
00:30:52He's actually sober. He's in a program.
00:30:53Yeah, which one?
00:30:54Yeah, which one?
00:31:11Does anyone feel like dancing?
00:31:13Why did the two break up anyway? What happened?
00:31:28I cheated on her.
00:31:30Hmm.
00:31:32I mean, I was just getting a lot of work. I was just starting to get a lot of work, you know?
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:35It was different.
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:37I really lost myself, you know what I mean?
00:31:38Mm-hmm.
00:31:39See it on here.
00:31:40Lose yourself.
00:31:41Yeah.
00:31:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:43Yeah, sure.
00:31:44Yeah.
00:31:45It's funny, though. I always thought she would sort of hit it before me, you know?
00:31:53Okay, well, suddenly I feel like dancing.
00:31:56This is really fun and fun.
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:58wiggle, sort of...
00:32:00Hello?
00:32:01Hey.
00:32:02Hey.
00:32:03Hey, y'alll, hi.
00:32:24left?
00:32:25Oh my god, hi!
00:32:29What are you doing here?
00:32:31I snuck out for a few hours.
00:32:33This is Oliver.
00:32:35He's a photographer.
00:32:37Perfect.
00:32:39Yeah.
00:32:41Do you want a beer?
00:32:43Yes!

00:34:07Oh.
00:34:08Did you come?
00:34:09Uh, no.
00:34:10I was a bit distracted.
00:34:11With what?
00:34:15Oh, just, uh, the show.
00:34:19So, you're Charlie's ex?
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:22Was she always such a conagum little thief?
00:34:25Huh.
00:34:26What do you mean?
00:34:27I mean, every word she writes is straight from the New York school.
00:34:31Oh.
00:34:32Oh.
00:34:33I like her poems.
00:34:34I like her poems.

00:35:24Ferti?
00:35:30Danke.
00:35:46Marianne went through my phone this morning.
00:35:57She cracked my tooth.
00:35:59She's crazy.
00:36:04Well, isn't she leaving again in a couple of days?
00:36:11She's going to take some time off.
00:36:14And you?
00:36:17Okay.
00:36:25I'm sorry, I just...
00:36:38Remo?
00:36:42Remo?
00:36:45Remo?
00:36:46I'm so sexy and fun.
00:36:55And fucking doomed.
00:36:57I'm afraid of myself.
00:36:59To be honest, I'm scary.
00:37:01And delicate.
00:37:02And...
00:37:03I don't want to die at this party.
00:37:06Whimpering in white shorts.
00:37:08Or laughing maniacally in my safari hat.
00:37:12White praying.
00:37:14White gloved hands.
00:37:16And out there, kitten soft, stirring in the night and stiff.
00:37:20To be honest.
00:37:21Is there a military booster.
00:37:22Highlights.
00:37:28Do you have any food?
00:37:30Is there a
00:37:31rock?
00:37:33Ever yet?
00:37:35Yeah.
00:37:38Do you have any food?
00:37:39To be honest with you.
00:37:41The Haney was a strong destroyer,
00:37:42he was a first,
00:37:44and the miner was a blast to begin with a storm.
00:38:45Oh, cute, you're hon.
00:38:48Hey.
00:38:50No, I'm joking.
00:38:51It's really good.
00:38:53This is Blake.
00:38:55Hi.
00:38:56Franz broke up with me.
00:38:59What happened to your face?
00:39:00His girlfriend punched me.
00:39:03You look like a rapper.
00:39:08Darling, are you depressed?
00:39:10I think I'm in shock, probably.
00:39:14Hey, we're going out dancing if you want to come.
00:39:20I think I'm going to stay here and figure out how to get my life together.
00:39:24Hey, Blake, do you have 800 euro I could borrow?
00:39:28What?
00:39:30Never mind.
00:39:31Good night.
00:39:34Good night.
00:39:37Sorry about that.
00:39:40Is she always like this?
00:39:41Yes.
00:39:42I'm selling my precious bicycle.
00:39:46I have a bond with this thing, so whoever buys it needs to respect this bond.
00:39:51And even though you will establish your own bond with it, you must comprehend that it will
00:39:57never mean as much as the bond we've already established.
00:40:08300 euro.
00:40:10I'm actually here because I need a favor.
00:40:40Really?
00:40:41Well, what is it?
00:40:42Anything.
00:40:46Do you have 800 euro?
00:40:50Oh.
00:40:53I can't really go into detail, but if I don't get it, I might have to leave Berlin.
00:41:04Seriously?
00:41:06Charlie, I don't know.
00:41:10You're, like, the only person I can trust.
00:41:16My parents, they won't just kill me if I gave you that much, so, uh, no.
00:41:21Um, but...
00:41:22Hey.
00:41:30Holy shit.
00:41:33Oh, my God.
00:41:34Are you okay?
00:41:35Yeah, I'm, um...
00:41:37Hey.
00:41:39Hmm?
00:41:40Why don't you read me one of your poems?
00:41:43Yeah.
00:41:44Oh, um, I'm gonna go.
00:42:02Okay.
00:42:02So, I'll give you 250.
00:42:17It's non-negotiable.
00:42:22Throw in the luck.
00:42:23Okay.
00:42:26Okay.
00:42:30You can change the combination.
00:42:31You just have to look up how on YouTube.
00:42:33So, how's the combo now?
00:42:34Six, six, six, six, six, six.
00:42:41That was easy.
00:42:42So, I'll give you a hundred parts.
00:42:48And the rest.
00:43:00Bye, I'll see you.
00:43:08Hey.
00:43:09Did you steal your bike?
00:43:10Things aren't going so hot right now.
00:43:14Aw.
00:43:16Did you bring the money?
00:43:17Uh, I still have to pick it up from the gallery.
00:43:19Sorry.
00:43:20It's okay.
00:43:21What happened to your face?
00:43:25That's good, that's good, that's good.
00:43:26What?
00:43:38What?
00:43:44Can we turn it up a little bit?
00:43:48What do you mean?
00:43:50You know,
00:43:52like we used to.
00:43:53Yeah.
00:44:06Jesus.
00:44:07Fuck, man.
00:44:08Hey, Oliver.
00:44:12You have a visitor.
00:44:15Okay.
00:44:23Oh, hey, dude.
00:44:30Um...
00:44:32All right.
00:44:33Bye, Chuck.
00:44:44So that's it.
00:44:46You left her.
00:44:49We've done.
00:44:54I just wanna be with you.
00:44:58Where are you gonna live?
00:45:03I thought I could move in here for a bit while we look for a place.
00:45:08You wanna get a place together?
00:45:11Can you afford that?
00:45:14Those roommates?
00:45:17I already have a roommate.
00:45:20So this is what you wanted?
00:45:24Does she love me?
00:45:27Yeah.
00:45:35This is nice.
00:45:39It is nice.
00:45:40I'm organizing a poetry reading tomorrow.
00:45:52Do you wanna come?
00:45:57Sure.
00:46:11Hey.
00:46:13I am...
00:46:14I'm really sorry about the other night.
00:46:17Can we not do this?
00:46:19Listen, I...
00:46:20I can't give you 800.
00:46:21It's just...
00:46:22I can't...
00:46:23Nathan, I shouldn't have even asked.
00:46:24It was inappropriate.
00:46:25But you should take this.
00:46:26Okay, it's 200 and I can spare it.
00:46:31Really?
00:46:33Yeah.
00:46:34I insist.
00:46:36Okay.
00:46:37Thanks.
00:46:38You're welcome.
00:46:43Should we get started soon?
00:46:44Oh yeah, sure.
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:50Reading one of your funny poems tonight?
00:46:52Fuck off, Sylvie.
00:46:54Couldn't find anything else to steal?
00:46:56I guess I haven't been feeling very inspired lately.
00:47:00Well, I found your friend Oliver inspiring.
00:47:03He's really cool.
00:47:05You guys hung out?
00:47:07Took my photo.
00:47:08It was really fun.

01:01:12No.
01:01:15Are you okay?
01:01:19I can't believe I've been here all morning alone with a murderer.
01:01:24Did you know?

01:01:28Hello?
01:01:41Yes?

01:02:55I'm a poet.
01:02:58You're here on an artist's visa?
01:03:01Yeah. For a year.
01:03:06And what is your relation to Franz?
01:03:12He was my boyfriend.
01:03:16I guess we were having an affair.
01:03:19Did you know him to be violent-tempered?
01:03:22No.
01:03:25Not especially.
01:03:29Can I ask you where about? Last night around two?
01:03:31Sure.
01:03:33There was a poetry reading at the cafe I work at.
01:03:37And then I was with my ex-boyfriend.
01:03:40His name is Oliver Ross.
01:03:45Where did you get that?
01:03:48Marianne.
01:03:50She punched me in the face.
01:03:53You must have been angry with her.
01:03:55You must have been angry with her.
01:04:01I didn't really care about her at all.
01:04:02I didn't really care about her at all.
01:04:13Can I see Franz?
01:04:14Hey.
01:04:15I don't know what's happening.
01:04:20I didn't do this.
01:04:23I know.
01:04:24It doesn't make any sense.
01:04:27Why would I hurt her?
01:04:28You believe me, don't you?
01:04:29Of course.
01:04:30It doesn't make any sense.
01:04:31Why would I hurt her?
01:04:36You believe me, don't you?
01:04:37Of course.
01:04:38Things are so crazy right now.

01:05:01Things are so crazy right now.
01:05:03I mean, I haven't even figured out my grant film yet.
01:05:05And the thing is tomorrow.
01:05:08And I just...
01:05:09What?
01:05:11My grant film.
01:05:14That thing I'm up for.
01:05:18I don't even know what I'm going to write about.
01:05:20And Sylvie, she's been...
01:05:22How could you be talking about this right now?
01:05:29I'm sorry.
01:05:32I guess I don't know what to say.
01:05:35I found her shoes.
01:05:42I found her shoes.
01:05:46Whose shoes?
01:05:50Mariette's shoes.
01:05:54They weren't your garbage can.
01:05:55The way I'm your garbage can.
01:06:10I guess I stole them.
01:06:18What's wrong with you?
01:06:19I burned the way money burns.
01:06:20I burned the way money burns.
01:06:24I burned the way money burns.

01:08:28Hi.
01:08:42Welcome, Charlotte.
01:08:44Thanks for coming in.
01:08:46Please have a seat.
01:08:52Please begin whenever you're ready.
01:08:58If I'm going to endure, I have to know there are things money can't buy, but here are some
01:09:18things that aren't one of them.
01:09:21Champagne, ocelots, and other exotic pets, and sex.
01:09:27Ribbons tied around your wrists or neck.
01:09:32Great long books about libidinal drives.
01:09:36Sushi.
01:09:38Property influence and ancient artifacts.
01:09:42Television networks.
01:09:44Scented candles.
01:09:46Satin sheets on memory foam mattresses.
01:09:50Expensive and drenched with sweat.
01:09:52Tickets to the ballet.
01:09:56Roses and bread, too.
01:09:59And everyday life becomes more joyful.
01:10:03Tennis courts.
01:10:04Fine cuts of red meat.
01:10:06And a chef to prepare.
01:10:09A maid to serve.
01:10:11A boat.
01:10:11Even a life has a price.
01:10:15But the thing about bodies is that they're soft, and inside are bones that break and organs
01:10:21that rot and rot and rot and rot.
01:10:26Slowly but inevitably.
01:10:29And money doesn't stop it.
01:10:30To be continued...
01:10:51I missed you too.
01:11:21I missed you too.
01:11:51I missed you too.
01:12:21I missed you too.
01:12:51I missed you too.
