00:19What the fuck?
00:21What the fuck, buddy?
00:22What the fuck?
00:23What the fuck, you psycho?
00:25Why the fuck am I tied to a chair?
00:28What the fuck?
00:29Shush, fledge.
00:30Oh, God.
00:31Oh.
00:32It's OK.
00:33It's OK.
00:34Are you?
00:34How are you?
00:37How am I?
00:38How the fuck do you think I am?
00:39What did you do to me?
00:42Vlad, I'm sorry.
00:44We were so drunk.
00:46And then you said that you might want to be dominated.
00:51Just to try it.
00:53But then nothing happened because I myself was so drunk.
00:56And then, God, I passed out.
00:58And this whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding.
01:01And I'm going to get you out of here right now.
01:03OK.
01:03OK?
01:08OK.
01:08Get you out right now.
01:10There we go.
01:11OK.
01:12I'm sorry.
01:13I'm sorry.
01:17Did we, um, did we do anything?
01:21No.
01:21No.
01:22No.
01:22No.
01:23Nothing happened.
01:24I promise.
01:26God, I told you, um, I told you, oh, God, this is really hard to say.
01:32But last night I told you that Cynthia and John are having an affair.
01:45Um.
01:50Are you sure?
01:53Are you sure?
01:55I caught them together.
01:58I'm so sorry.
02:05Can I stay here tonight?
02:08Come, come, come.
02:12Come, come, come.
02:14Come, come.
02:17He slept in the guest room.
02:19I couldn't tell what he was thinking when we parted ways.
02:23So in the morning, I left him a note, a number for car service, and I went to the store.
02:31Now it's on him to decide.
02:34It's his choice.
02:41He'll probably never speak to me again.
02:45Maybe he'll call the police.
02:47I wouldn't blame him.
02:50It was a mistake.
02:51People make mistakes, and I made one.
03:22Hello?
03:24Me?
03:26You okay?
03:29The door can stick.
03:31You better come around.
03:45I thought you'd left.
03:48Well, I just went for a walk.
03:52How are you feeling?
03:56That was the best sleep I've had in three years.
04:02Would you like coffee?
04:03I'd love some.
04:11You, uh, dropped your phone in the toilet last night.
04:16I could put it in some rice, or...
04:18A nice one, Vlad.
04:28I'd love some coffee I've had.
04:36Is it not, not okay?
04:38It's the best coffee I've had in my entire life.
04:43I'm going to do some journaling.
04:45Oh.
04:52He's still here.
05:07Hey, Balmwood.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:19May I, um, can I ask what your plan might be?
05:27Well, the way I see it, Cynthia got to run away.
05:32What?
05:33She left me with Fi.
05:35You mean when she tried to...
05:36Kill herself, yes.
05:40You can't really call that room away.
05:42No, she found something that I'd written about that day.
05:44And she made me throw it away.
05:47It was the first good thing I'd written since my last book.
05:52Oh, she said it belonged to her.
05:57Right.
05:58And now she's fucking someone else.
06:01Sorry, but when she, um...
06:05You knew where she was.
06:06She doesn't know where you are.
06:08No, she kind of does.
06:10Basically.
06:12How?
06:15You told her.
06:19Yeah, you wrote her on my phone about needing time.
06:22What?
06:23I have my laptop with me.
06:27I saw the text messages on my computer.
06:30Yeah, you have a Wi-Fi next to the bed.
06:32Probably rentals, I guess.
06:34Oh, well, drunk.
06:35You must have, um, decided to...
06:37No, you wrote that.
06:39I didn't write that.
06:41I know I didn't.
06:45It's okay.
06:49It's interesting.
06:58Did you put something in my drink last night?
07:00I would never do something like that.
07:06I will leave you.
07:09Good, because I'm telling the truth.
07:16I'm gonna take out a boat.
07:40I'm gonna take out a boat.
07:46He wants to stay.
08:04Hello.
08:06You answered.
08:07How's it going?
08:08It's a fucking farce.
08:09They say it'll be done by tonight.
08:12Are you mad at me?
08:13You know, I was thinking about it.
08:14And making my wife sit by my side during my Title IX hearing just didn't feel like us.
08:24Right.
08:24As long as you're fucking riddled with guilt.
08:27Are you going to tell me where you are?
08:28No.
08:29They're starting back up.
08:31I got to go.
08:32Is that Sid?
08:33Can I speak to her?
08:33You okay?
08:35Yeah.
08:36Are you okay?
08:37Yeah.
08:39You're very impressive.
08:48Oh, the kayak tipped.
08:50Oh, but you're all right?
08:52Yeah, I'm fine.
08:53I just need to get out of those wet clothes and into a dry martini.
08:57It's from the Simpsons.
09:01Um, there are some pants of John's in the dresser.
09:04You don't like me like this.
09:09D.H. Lawrence is great.
09:11You forget.
09:12You think he's going to be nuts and then he's amazing.
09:14Oh, yes.
09:15The first line is something like, uh, ours is essentially a tragic age so we refuse to take
09:20it tragically.
09:22God, you're impressive.
09:24Oh, please.
09:24I just learn all those first lines so I can show off to boys like you.
09:28Well, it's effective.
09:33Is that your new book?
09:35Oh.
09:37Oh.
09:38Yeah.
09:39Yes.
09:40Do you like it?
09:42It's the best work I've ever done, but I'm still trying to figure out an ending.
09:48Do you want to write together?
09:51No.
09:53I'll go get my computer.
09:54Uh, well, where are your clothes?
09:56I can wash them.
09:57Uh, they are on the porch.
10:02The jeans can't go in the dryer.
10:10It's okay.
10:14He made me feel dirty.
10:18I dropped out of school shortly after.
10:22Did you ever alert the school about what had transpired?
10:25No.
10:26Why not?
10:28I was ashamed of myself.
10:31I thought professors were gods.
10:35I was just a townie kid.
10:38And all I had was being good at school.
10:45I don't want to ruin anyone's life.
10:48But I was so vulnerable back then and him doing that.
10:53It wasn't...
11:05You were in his wife's class?
11:08Yes.
11:09What was the nature of your relationship with her?
11:21Honestly, I didn't know her that well.
11:25She was a good teacher.
11:56I don't have to look back.
12:03down did you ever have an affair with a student no yes but he was a he was a grad

15:01I need something bad.
15:06I didn't hand him my paper, Professor.

15:16Excuse me.
15:36I am so sorry.
15:39Oh, God, don't be sorry, please.
15:44Didn't you say that that's what we were going to do last night?
15:47I don't want to act out your high school fantasy of some pervy older woman.
15:52That's not what I want.
15:53I thought that's what you wanted.
15:54I don't.
15:55I want to do what you want.
15:57Well, I want you to do what you want.
15:58How do I make you happy?
15:59Please don't try to make me happy.
16:10God, Vlad, did I make it all up?
16:17What?
16:19Oh, I'm going to go get ready for bed.
16:26Should I join you?
16:29Stop asking me questions.
16:57I'm sorry about that faculty meeting.
16:59I wanted to do this to you.
17:09Oh, God.
17:14And when I came over that first time,
17:17I wanted to do this.
17:20Oh, Jesus.
17:21I don't know.
17:34And when I came over to swim,
17:36I wanted to do this.
17:44I wanted to be in the conference room now one day.
17:48I wanted you on your knees.
17:50Oh, God.
17:50Under the table.
17:52Oh, God.
18:11Shit, it's soft.
18:12No, I keep hitting.
18:14No, I keep hitting.
18:18No, I keep hitting.
18:19No, I keep hitting.
18:22Oh, God.

18:34We're so hot.
18:36No, no, no, no, no.
19:06What?
19:06You can't come.
19:08You sure?
19:09Yes.
19:36No, no, no, no.
19:59Yeah.
20:06You can go to the guest room.
20:11Okay.
20:13Okay.
20:14Okay.
20:17Okay.
20:30Okay.
20:39Okay.
20:54What the hell?
20:55It's me.
21:01I like his undies.
21:02Fuck you, man.
21:03Oh, where are you going?
21:07Nice work.
21:09Seriously.
21:10I'm impressed.
21:11If you say one more word, I will kill you.
21:22Don't get too close.
21:23Oh, I'm freezing.
21:28Are those my pants?
21:29Vlad has been staying in the guest room because he needed a little space.
21:32That's all.
21:33You don't have to lie.
21:34You're not allowed to say anything, right?
21:35Oh, I'm allowed to say exactly what I want.
21:36For any reason.
21:37But even more so.
21:38Anyone can feel it.
21:39Exactly.
21:39Even more so.
21:40What about you and Cynthia?
21:42What?
21:43Cynthia?
21:45What?
21:46Hey.
21:46Stop fucking laughing.
21:48I'm sorry.
21:49I can't help it.
21:49Friends.
21:51Cynthia is way above my pay grade.
21:53What?
21:54No.
21:54You said you caught them.
21:56Right?
21:56Caught us doing what?
21:57I did.
21:59I saw you together at some...
22:03You were with her.
22:05Yeah, well, unlike the two of you, we were not fucking.
22:10Cynthia's finishing her memoir and I'm writing an epic poem.
22:14Wait, wait, wait.
22:15So you weren't betraying you?
22:19No, sir.
22:23You said you saw them together.
22:25Well, I did.
22:26I thought I did.
22:27You were writing?
22:29You are not the only one that can write.
22:30At two o'clock in the morning.
22:32That's right.
22:32We take drugs and then we write.
22:35It's fun.
22:35What?
22:37Oh!
22:40What the hell is wrong with you?
22:41She's sober, you fuck!
22:42Cynthia can make her own choices!
22:44No, she can!
22:45You have no idea what she's doing!
22:46Stop!
22:49It was her idea!
22:50Of course it was!
22:51Because she's an addict!
22:52She bought them, I kept them.
22:53It's like half an Adderall.
22:55She's fine.
22:55Oh, you have no fucking clue, you moron!
22:57She just wants to get this book done and move out of that fucking condo so it can stop being
23:01about you all the time.
23:02What?
23:03When has it ever been about me?
23:10Oh, God!
23:15Can I borrow your phone?
23:17Why?
23:18To call my fucking wife!
23:20Oh, yeah, sure.
23:24Tell her I said hi.
23:25Fuck you!
23:26Shut your fucking mouth!
23:44You want to know about the hearing?
23:45Yes.
23:49The complaints were dismissed.
23:51I won't teach again, but I got to keep my pension, so I won.
23:56You don't seem happy.
23:58I think it was a mistake to involve Sydney.
24:01She'll get over it.
24:02No, I think I fucked it up for a while.
24:05Okay.
24:08I had a thought.
24:09Mm-hmm.
24:12Maybe we revisit our agreement.
24:16What do you mean?
24:18We're not getting any younger.
24:20We could...
24:23Recommit?
24:24I mean, isn't this all starting to feel a little sad?
24:28After you're finished, of course.
24:32What did she say?
24:35Uh...
24:36She said that...
24:38that you...
24:41help her feel like a normal human.
24:45I don't know.
24:49Well, I'm going to bed.
24:55Okay.
25:11You want to know what I want?
25:13What?
25:20If I want you to meet me here once a week...
25:28say you will.
25:52You inspire me.
26:05There was a time in my life when that was the most exciting thing that someone could say to me.
26:20I'm just getting my notebooks.
26:24Should I... change the sheets?
26:28It might be wise.
26:30Was it everything you wanted?
26:32John.
26:33It's the best feeling, though, isn't it?
26:35What?
26:37Desire.
26:38I thought it was about desire, but it's not about that as much as...
26:42What?
26:44What the desire did.
26:46It was invigorating.
26:48It gave me this.
26:49Got your groove back.
26:51Jesus.
26:51She's still got it.
26:53John, please.
26:55So what's it about?
26:58I'll, uh...
27:01I'll let you read it when it's published.
27:03Think it'll sell?
27:04I think it could give me a whole new life.
27:07You want a whole new life?
27:08Well, I want choices.
27:10I want options.
27:11I want...
27:11Power.
27:12I think the kids call it agency.
27:17Are you...
27:19Coming to bed?
27:23I don't know.
27:26You don't like that ending?
27:37It has recently come to my attention that...
27:41Both Vladimir and John are thinking of me as a character in their own story.
27:46And they both have an idea about how it's gonna play out.
27:53But there are forces beyond anyone's control.
28:00A fire breaks out when we're asleep.
28:05Just like in a gothic novel.
28:08As though that obsession, that thrill of desire...
28:13Goes up in flames.
28:15Wake up!
28:16John!
28:18Wake up!
28:18Get up!
28:19There's a fire!
28:20Get up!
28:21Oh, shit.
28:22What happened?
28:22Shit!
28:24Fucking door!
28:25It's dark!
28:25Get out of the fucking way!
28:26And I understand...
28:28Get out of the fucking way!
28:29Get out of the fucking way!
28:31Get out of the fucking way!
28:34That I have to make a choice.
28:36Get out of the fucking way!
28:39Get out of the fucking way!
28:40Get out of the fucking way!
28:40Get out of the fucking way!
28:45Wait, wait, wait!
28:46Where are you going?
28:49What?
28:50Hey, wait, wait!
28:51Stop!
28:51What are you doing, buddy?
28:58A whole new life.
29:13And this is how it plays out.
29:17I finish my book about a woman's obsession with her younger colleague.
29:23Vlad writes a book about a tender affair with an older professor.
29:28Mine does much better.
29:30It speaks to a certain... need.
29:34Well, don't worry.
29:36I call 911.
29:37Everybody gets out.
29:47You don't believe me?
29:50Why are men great till they gotta be great?
29:55Woo!
29:55I just took a DNA test.
29:58Turns out I'm a hundred percent that bitch.
30:01Even when I'm crying crazy.
30:02Yeah, I got boy problems.
30:04That's the human in me.
30:05Bling, bling.
30:06Then I solve them.
30:07That's the goddess in me.
30:08You coulda had a bad bitch.
30:10Non-committal.
30:11Help you with your career.
30:13Just a little.
30:14You supposed to hold me down.
30:16But you holding me back.
30:17And that's the sound.
30:19Of me not calling you back.
30:21Why are men great till they gotta be great?
30:24Don't text me.
30:25Tell it straight to my face.
30:27Best friends set me down in the salon chair.
30:30Shampoo press get you out of my hair.
30:33Fresh photos with the bomb lighting.
30:36New man on the Minnesota Vikings.
30:40Troopers needed something more exciting.
30:42Bum, bum, die, bum, die, bum, bum, die.
30:47With the bomb lighting.
30:50Yeah!
30:52What? Oh.
