00:00What the fuck?
00:02What the fuck?
00:04What the fuck?
00:05What the fuck, you psycho?
00:07Motherfucker, my typhoon chair!
00:09What the fuck?
00:11Oh, God!
00:13It's okay, it's okay.
00:15How are you?
00:18How am I?
00:19How the fuck do you think I am?
00:21What did you do to me?
00:24Lab, I'm sorry.
00:25We were so drunk.
00:28And then you said that you might want to be dominated just to try it.
00:34But then nothing happened because I myself was so drunk.
00:38And then, God, I passed out.
00:40And this whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding.
00:42And I'm going to get you out of here right now.
00:44Okay.
00:45Okay?
00:49Okay, get you out right now.
00:51Here we go.
00:53Okay.
00:54I'm sorry.
00:55I'm sorry.
00:58Did we, um, did we do anything?
01:02No, no, no.
01:04Nothing happened.
01:05I promise.
01:07But I told you, um, I told you, oh, God, this is really hard to say, but last night I
01:15told
01:15I told you that Cynthia and John are having an affair.
01:27Oh.
01:32Are you sure?
01:35Are you sure?
01:37I caught them together?
01:40I'm so sorry.
01:46Can I stay here at night?
01:49Come, come, come, come.
01:58He slept in the guest room.
02:01I couldn't tell what he was thinking when we parted ways.
02:05So in the morning, I left him a note, a number for a car service, and I went to the
02:09store.
02:12Now it's on him to decide.
02:15It's his choice.
02:22He'll probably never speak to me again.
02:26Maybe he'll call the police.
02:28I wouldn't blame him.
02:31It was a mistake.
02:34People make mistakes.
02:36I've made one.
03:02Hello?
03:05It's me.
03:08You okay?
03:10The door can stick.
03:12You better come around.
03:27I thought you'd left.
03:29For a walk.
03:33How are you feeling?
03:37That was the best sleep I've had in three years.
03:43Would you like coffee?
03:45Love so.
03:53You, uh, dropped your phone in the toilet last night.
03:57I could put it in some rice, sir.
04:00A nice one.
04:00Glad.
04:01Oh, God.
04:09Thanks.
04:17Is it not, not okay?
04:20It's the best coffee I've ever had in my entire life.
04:25I'm going to do some journaling.
04:27Oh.
04:33He's still here.
04:48I'm going to do some food.
04:49I'm going to do some food.
05:02I'm going to do some food.
05:04Can I ask what your plan might be?
05:09Well, the way I see it, Cynthia got thrown away.
05:14What?
05:15She left me with feet.
05:16You mean when she tried to kill herself?
05:19Yes.
05:21You can't really call that ring a ring.
05:23You know, she found something that I'd written about that day,
05:26and she made me throw it away.
05:28It was the first good thing I'd written since my last book.
05:34Oh, she said it belonged to her.
05:38Hey.
05:39And now she's talking to someone else?
05:42Sorry, but when she...
05:46You knew where she was.
05:48She doesn't know where you are.
05:50No, she kind of does.
05:52Basically.
05:54How?
05:56You told her.
06:00Yeah, you wrote on my phone about me in time.
06:04What?
06:05I have my laptop with me.
06:08I saw the text messages on my computer.
06:11Yeah, you have a Wi-Fi next to the bed.
06:14Probably rentals, I guess.
06:15Oh, drunk.
06:16You must have, um...
06:18No, you wrote that.
06:20I didn't write that.
06:23I know I didn't.
06:27It's okay.
06:31It's interesting.
06:39Did you put something in my drink last night?
06:42I would never do something like that.
06:48I'm leaving.
06:50Good, because I'm telling the truth.
06:57I'm going to take out Hope.
07:00I'm going to take out Hope.
07:28You're leaving.
07:29Who wants to stay?
07:33Oh, my God.
07:46Hello?
07:47You answered.
07:48How's it going?
07:50It's a phony forest.
07:51They say it'll be done by tonight.
07:53Are you mad at me?
07:54I was thinking about it, and making my wife sit by my side during my Title IX hearing just didn't
08:02feel like us.
08:05Right.
08:06As long as you're fucking riveted with guilt.
08:08You gonna tell me where you are?
08:10No.
08:10They're starting to knock off.
08:13I gotta go.
08:13That's it. Can I speak to her?
08:15You okay?
08:17Yeah. Are you okay?
08:18Yeah.
08:21It'll be very impressive.
08:30Oh, the kayak tipped.
08:32Are you alright?
08:33Yeah, I'm fine.
08:34I just need to have those wet clothes and into a dry martini.
08:38It's from The Simpsons.
08:42I, there are some pants and John's in the dresser.
08:46You're waiting like this.
08:51D.H. Lawrence is great.
08:53You forget.
08:54You think you're gonna be nuts, and then he's amazing.
08:56Well, yeah, it's the first line.
08:57It's something like, uh, ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically.
09:04God, you're impressive.
09:05Oh, please.
09:06I just learned all those first lines so I can show off the boys like you.
09:09Well, that's effective.
09:14Is that your book?
09:17Oh.
09:18Oh.
09:19Yeah.
09:20Yes.
09:22Do you like it?
09:24It's the best book I've ever done, but I'm still trying to figure out an ending.
09:29Do you want to write together?
09:32No.
09:34I'll go get my computer.
09:36Uh, well, where are your clothes?
09:38I can wash them.
09:39Uh, they are on the porch.
09:43The jeans can't go in the dryer.
09:52It's okay.
09:56He made me feel dirty.
10:00I dropped out of school shortly after.
10:03Did you ever alert the school about what had transpired?
10:07No.
10:08Why not?
10:10I was ashamed of myself.
10:13I thought professors were gods.
10:16I was just a townie kid, and all I had was being good at school.
10:26I don't want to ruin anyone's life.
10:29But I was so vulnerable back then, and him doing that, it wasn't kind.
10:46You were in his wife's class?
10:50Yes.
10:51What was the nature of your relationship with her?
11:03Honestly, I didn't know her that well.
11:07She was a good teacher.
11:45Did you ever have an affair with a student?
11:47No.
11:49Yes.
11:50But he was a grad student.
11:53He was in his late 20s, and I was in my early 30s.
11:58I was in my prime.
12:00Why are you still in your prime?
12:01Not in the same way.
12:03I was wild about him.
12:06Why?
12:07He made the most incredible eye contact.
12:12Why?
12:22Why?
12:24Why?
12:37Why are you still in your prime?
12:39Why?
12:40Why?
12:41Why?
13:02You're so good in there, honey.
13:07So now we just see what happens, right?
13:10Uh, Alexis is on her way.
13:11We're going to head back to the city.
13:13I think they said it would be any minute until we get the big old verdict.
13:18You don't need me for that part.
13:25That's it.
13:34It's been so long since anybody's cooked for me.
13:37That was, um, that was special.
13:40I'm happy you enjoyed it.
13:43Today was productive.
13:45I wrote 12 pages.
13:47I'm so glad.
13:49I actually didn't write a word.
13:52Too distracted?
13:54Sure.
13:57So how long you think, Jonathan, have you ever been at it?
14:00I really don't want to think about that.
14:02I'm happy.
14:05I'm happy.
14:10I'm happy.
14:37I need to tell you something
14:41I need something bad
14:48I had handed my paper
14:50Professor
14:53My trouble
14:58Excuse me
15:19I'm so sorry
15:21Oh God, don't be sorry
15:22Please
15:26Didn't you say that's what we were going to do last night?
15:29I don't want to act out your high school fantasy of some pervy older woman
15:34That's not what I want
15:35I thought that's what you wanted
15:36You don't
15:36I want to do what you want
15:38Well, I want you to do what you want
15:40How do I make you happy?
15:41Please don't try to make me happy
15:51God, glad, glad, did I make it all up?
15:58What?
16:01I'm gonna...
16:04I'm gonna go get ready for bed
16:08Should I join you?
16:11Stop asking me questions
16:38I'm gonna start with that faculty meeting
16:40I want to do this to you
16:51God
16:56I came over the first time
16:59I want to do this
17:15I want to do this
17:19I want to do this
17:21I want to do this
17:26I just remember one day
17:30I want you on your knees
17:31I'm gonna come back
17:33I don't know it
17:41I'm gonna go get ready for bed
18:04Oh, my God.
18:08Oh, my God.
18:15You're so bad.
18:18Even now.
18:21I'm not.
18:44Let's go.
18:56Let's go.
19:52Let's go.
19:55Let's go.
20:36What the hell?
20:37It's me.
20:42I like his undies.
20:44Fuck you, man.
20:45Oh, where are you going?
20:49Nice work.
20:50Seriously.
20:52I'm impressed.
20:53If you say one more word, I will kill you.
21:03Don't get too close.
21:05Oh, I'm freezing.
21:09Are those my pants?
21:11Vlad has been staying in the guest room because he needed a little space, that's all.
21:14You don't have to lie.
21:15You are not allowed to say anything, right?
21:17Oh, I'm allowed to say anything.
21:17For any reason, but even more so, even more so, even more so, even more so, what about you
21:23and Cynthia?
21:23What?
21:25Cynthia?
21:26What?
21:27Hey, stop fucking laughing.
21:29I'm sorry.
21:30I can't help it.
21:31But, friends, Cynthia is way above my pay grade.
21:35What?
21:35No, you said you caught me.
21:37Right?
21:38Caught us doing what?
21:39I did.
21:40I saw you together at some...
21:43At some...
21:44Uh, you were with her.
21:47Yeah, well, unlike the two of you, we were not fucking.
21:52Cynthia's finishing her memoir and I'm writing an epic poem.
21:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
21:57So you...
21:58You weren't betraying you?
22:00No, sir.
22:04You said you saw them together.
22:07Well, I did.
22:08I thought I did.
22:09You were writing?
22:10You are not the only one that can write.
22:12At two o'clock in the morning.
22:13That's right.
22:14We take drugs and then we...
22:16Right.
22:16It's fine.
22:17What?
22:19Oh, shit!
22:20Oh, what the hell is wrong with this?
22:23She's sober, you guys.
22:24Fuck you!
22:24Can make her own choices?
22:26Yes, she can.
22:26You know what I'm saying.
22:28Stop!
22:29Ow!
22:30It was her idea.
22:32Of course it was.
22:32She's an addict.
22:33She bought them.
22:34I kept them.
22:35It's like half an Adderall.
22:36She's fine.
22:37Oh, you were a little fucking crew, you moron.
22:39She just wants to get this book done and move out of that fucking condo so it can stop being
22:43about you all the time.
22:44So when has it ever been about me?
22:52Oh!
22:57Can I borrow your phone?
22:59Why?
23:00To call my fucking wife.
23:02Oh.
23:03Yeah.
23:06To her I said hi.
23:07Fuck you!
23:08Shut your fucking mouth.
23:25You want to know about the hearing?
23:27Yes.
23:30The complaints were dismissed.
23:32I won't teach again, but I got to keep my pension, so I won.
23:38You don't seem happy.
23:39I think it was a mistake to involve Sydney.
23:42She'll get over it.
23:43No, I think I fucked it up for a while.
23:47Okay.
23:50I had a thought.
23:53Maybe we revisit our agreement.
23:58What do you mean?
24:00We're not getting any younger.
24:03We could...
24:04Recommit?
24:06I mean, isn't this song starting to feel a little sad?
24:10After you're finished, of course.
24:14What did she say?
24:17She said that you help her feel like a normal human.
24:31Well, I'm going to bed.
24:37Okay.
24:52You want to know what I want?
24:54What?
25:02I want you to meet me here once a week.
25:09Say you will.
25:33You inspire me.
25:37I want you to meet me.
25:42I want you to meet me here once a week.
25:47There was a time in my life when that was the most exciting thing someone could say to me.
26:02I'm just getting my notebooks.
26:05Should I change the sheets?
26:09You might be wise.
26:12Was it everything you wanted?
26:14John.
26:15It's the best feeling, though, isn't it?
26:17What?
26:18Desire.
26:19I thought it was about desire, but it's not about that as much as...
26:24What?
26:25What the desire did.
26:27It was invigorating.
26:29It gave me this.
26:31Got your groove back.
26:32Jesus.
26:33She's still got it.
26:34John.
26:35Please.
26:36So what's it about?
26:40I'll...
26:42I'll let you read it when it's published.
26:44Think it'll sell?
26:45I think it could give me a whole new life.
26:48You want a whole new life?
26:50I want choices.
26:51I want options.
26:52I want...
26:53Power.
26:54I think the kids call it agency.
26:59Are you...
27:01coming to bed?
27:04I don't know.
27:07You don't like that, Linda.
27:19It has recently come to my attention that both Vladimir and John are thinking of me as a character in
27:26their own story.
27:28And they both have an idea about how it's going to play out.
27:34But there are forces beyond anyone's control.
27:42A fire breaks out and we're asleep.
27:46Just like in a gossip novel.
27:50As though that obsession, that thrill of desire, goes up in flames.
27:56Wake up!
27:58John!
27:59Wake up!
28:00Get up!
28:01There's a fire!
28:01Get up!
28:02Oh, shit.
28:03What happened?
28:04Shit.
28:05The fucking door's stuck.
28:07And I understand.
28:11I've got every way!
28:15Then I have to make a choice.
28:18I have to make a choice.
28:26Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
28:29What?
28:31They waste all the time!
28:33They do it, Mike!
28:39A whole new life.
28:55And this is how it plays out.
28:59I finish my book about a woman's obsession with her younger colleague.
29:04Vlad writes a book about a contender affair with an older professor.
29:09Mine does much better.
29:11Speaks to a certain need.
29:16Don't worry.
29:17I call 911.
29:19Everybody gets out.
29:28You don't believe me?
29:32Why men pray till they got a beat?
29:36Woo!
29:37I just took a DNA test.
29:39Turns out I'm 100% that bitch.
29:42Even when I'm crying crazy.
29:44Yeah, I got four problems.
29:45That's the human in me.
29:47Bling, bling.
29:48Then I saw one after die.
29:49You could have had a bad bitch.
29:51Not committed.
29:52Help you with your career.
29:54Just a little.
29:55You supposed to hold me down.
29:57But you holding me back.
29:59And that's the sound.
30:00I mean, that's good to you, man.
30:03Why men pray till they got a beat?
30:06Don't force me until it's straight to my face.
30:09Best friends, let me down and move my armchair.
30:12Share a couple of bricks, get you out of my head.
30:15Fresh photos with the bottle of lighting.
30:18No man on a minute, start a night game.
30:21Truth, I mean, there's something more exciting.
30:24I'm going to be down, be down, be down, be down, be down.
30:29I'm going to be down, be down, be down, be down, be down, be down, be down, be down, be
