00:14Maybe she won't help her.
00:20Sorry, I'm not used to someone of your stature.
00:23Oh, really?
00:26Are all your parts intact?
00:29You bet.
00:30I like your jacket.
00:33Cynthia thinks it's douchey.
00:34Oh, no. No, no, no.
00:36I'm gonna work for you because you're always so perfectly styled.
00:38You don't notice how I dress.
00:40Yes. Yes, I do.
00:47It's been forever since I had an acting off.
00:49You deserve it.
00:51Well, I don't know about that.
00:52Well, no, I don't think anyone deserves anything.
00:57That is rather puritan of you.
00:59I am a big time puritan.
01:01No, you aren't.
01:02I am.
01:03No, you are not.
01:04Yes, I am.
01:05At grad school, Cynthia basically had to hit me over the head with a frying pan.
01:09Oh.
01:10Oh.
01:11Anyway.
01:12Yes, I am.
01:14Pretty buttoned up fellow, don't you think?
01:16I mean, I don't know.
01:18I suppose I...
01:21I don't know you well enough.
01:28Are we not gonna eat on mainstream?
01:30My phone is on a little further afield.
01:34As long as I'm back my pride.
01:36Well, we'll see about that.
01:39Oh.
01:41Oh.
01:42Oh.
01:45Oh.
01:46Oh.
01:47Oh.
01:51Oh.
01:52Oh, you're blown up.
01:52Sorry.
01:53Do you want me to...
01:54Oh, yes.
01:55If you could just grab my...
01:56No.
01:56If you could just put it...
01:57Sure.
01:57Yeah, yeah, I too.
01:59Oh.
02:00Oh, yes.
02:00Sorry.
02:01I'm...
02:02Oh, God.
02:03It's just a friend.
02:10I know the hearing today.
02:13You do?
02:15I understand why you want to be somewhere else.
02:18Oh, thank you for saying that.
02:20Well, yeah.
02:20You need a break for it all.
02:21You wouldn't say I deserve a break.
02:23No, I'm kidding.
02:24You're the only person I'd say deserves a break.
02:31Oh, well, I know you're gluten-free.
02:33I eat when I'm being good.
02:35Are you being good today?
02:37I'm gonna try.
02:42Red or white?
02:44Oh.
02:44Wait, should we do glasses or a bottle?
02:46Will you drink more than one?
02:48I haven't gotten day drunk in many years.
02:51Oh, well, in that case, we are definitely getting a bottle.
02:54Um, hi.
02:56Could we possibly have this Monte Colchiano?
03:00Of course.
03:01Okay.
03:02Okay.
03:04You're fine.
03:07Let's see on our way to swim flat.
03:09Aw.
03:10I take her every Wednesday.
03:11It's the best part of my week.
03:13Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
03:14Would now be a good time to talk about your book.
03:18Sure.
03:18Yeah, let's, let's, uh, let's pop a cherry.
03:21Oh.
03:21Sorry.
03:22Oh, no, no, no.
03:23Let's pop it.
03:26Well, first, I think you're a genius, and you're gonna be very famous.
03:32Oh.
03:34I don't know about that.
03:35Oh, no, no, you'd be surprised.
03:37Things are gonna happen for you.
03:39I know it.
03:41Wow.
03:41Those notes?
03:43Do you mind?
03:44No, I'm flattered.
03:46I mean, too much?
03:47No, no, no.
03:48No, please.
03:49Oh, should we, um, put our phones away?
03:52Yeah, I wish I could.
03:53It's just, you know, Cynthia might need me.
03:56I'm worried about her.
03:57She, uh, she's been...
03:59Distant?
04:02I, uh, I don't know about it.
04:03Um, you know what?
04:05I have a challenge for you, Vlad.
04:07What's that?
04:08How about we make this afternoon about you?
04:12It'll certainly be a change of pace.
04:14Well, what I find so remarkable about your book is that, um, you've created this, this character
04:22It was intense.
04:24There's a rather tried and true way to seduce fellow writers, and that is to pay them some
04:29attention.
04:31I have found that there is nothing more irresistible than attention.
04:36Close reading, not only to the words, but to the person who wrote the words.
04:42And I think, flat, and understand how deeply I see him.
04:47I could kiss you.
04:48Oh.
04:49I don't get feedback like that anymore.
04:50Um, Cynthia's a good reader, but, you know, it's kind of like, and this bitch's too long,
04:57or that guy's too fake, and that's, that's it.
04:59So, yeah, I'm not used to this kind of attention.
05:02I mean, your book just moves.
05:04I'm, I'm not sure I achieved that with mine.
05:08I'm offering a segue.
05:12Um, do you have the time?
05:13Uh, uh, uh.
05:15Oh, yeah, it's 3.30.
05:17Ah, darn it.
05:18I, I wish we could hang out more.
05:19So, um, I'll be back in a minute, so there can be a good session.
05:28Oh, excuse me, excuse me.
05:30Hello.
05:30How can I help you?
05:31Yes.
05:31May we please have coffees?
05:33Two for the breakfast.
05:34And please hold the chair, because it's his birthday.
05:37Bye.
05:43Tell me what happened.
05:44He was a chair.
05:46I went to him to ask for advice.
05:49He offered to do my work.
05:51And then he asked if I would like to go to a bar later to discuss.
05:56The bar was in a hotel.
06:00I knew sex was on the table.
06:03Everyone knew that John's left with underdress.
06:07We all knew that.
06:10My brothers are all in finance.
06:13I don't know.
06:14Yeah, they think I'm homeless.
06:16Sorry, have you seen the waiter?
06:18Happy birthday to you.
06:21Happy birthday to you.
06:25Happy birthday, happy birthday.
06:28Happy birthday to you.
06:32Wow.
06:38How'd you know?
06:40That's not your birthday.
06:43Did Cynthia tell you?
06:44Wait.
06:45It is your birthday.
06:47You came out for lunch with me on your birthday?
06:50I had no idea.
06:52It's not my birthday.
06:58No, no, no, I'll get it. I'll get it.
07:01Oh, no way. We'll split it.
07:03No, I'm told to split a check.
07:05You'll owe me a lunch.
07:06I may never be let out of the house ever again.
07:10I'm sorry that we couldn't stay longer.
07:13I need to sober up.
07:16Will you excuse me for a moment?
07:33He doesn't want to go.
07:49He doesn't want to go.
07:51A cliché, but...
07:54...true.
08:05Professor Padinsky.
08:06I have an idea.
08:08I have this sweet little cabin nearby and I wanted to show it to you.
08:11It's for writing, you know, like for a retreat.
08:14So I thought we could go there and I could offer you a prompt.
08:18You have no idea how much I want to do that.
08:23I just, I think I should probably go home.
08:25I think Cynthia would kill me.
08:27You know, sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness than get permission.
08:30You know, she's working her ass off on this book.
08:33She's home at 2 a.m. every night.
08:35I'm just, I'm worried about her.
08:37Are you sure she's working on the book?
08:40What?
08:41How are you going to enrich your inner life if you are always on the clock?
08:46Oh.
08:50Alright, I need to call Cynthia first.
08:53Mm-hmm.
08:58It's up.
08:59What does Cynthia say?
09:01She's home at a friend.
09:04She is a poor wife.
09:08Kill her.
09:09Do you find it hard in the marriage to understand that the other person wants you to be happy?
09:16Who can ever understand what another person wants?
09:19Truly.
09:24We're two minutes away.
09:29Is there cell service?
09:30Oh, no.
09:31No cell service.
09:33No Wi-Fi.
09:34No distractions.
09:35Just us.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:46How long have you had this?
09:53That's perfect.
09:54I'm glad you like it.
09:56Oh, no.
09:58Is that a cappellina?
10:00I found this lime juice.
10:03I hope it's okay.
10:04Hope you like them.
10:05Of course.
10:12Would you like to go and write?
10:15Now?
10:15You could use the bedroom.
10:18I think I'd rather just talk.
10:24Cheers.
10:24Cheers.
10:28I like Florence.
10:29I don't mean to be hard on her.
10:30No, I like her.
10:31She's definitely one of the most irritating persons on the bus.
10:34She's a challenge.
10:37You're empty.
10:40Yeah.
10:41I always think too bad.
10:42Stay here, and I'll make you another one.
10:47Fuck it.
10:49Thanks.
10:52But he was so complimentary.
10:55I thought he was interested in me because he liked my writing.
11:00I felt chosen.
11:02And he was charming.
11:05Okay.
11:08We will hear the remaining testimonies tomorrow.
11:37We will hear the remaining testimonies tomorrow.
11:48I was going to bring these out to you.
11:51It's okay.
11:52The sun's getting a bit too much.
11:54Gotta protect the moneymaker.
11:56Oh, yeah.
11:58Crossing safety.
12:00Statener.
12:01What a word.
12:02Well, you like him, huh?
12:10I'm sorry, Clyde, but weren't we going to discuss each other's books?
12:16Oh.
12:18Ah, shit.
12:19Yeah.
12:19I mean, I'm sorry I didn't even bring it up.
12:21It wasn't that important.
12:22No, no, yeah, of course.
12:24Hold on.
12:25Where are you?
12:27Yeah.
12:31Yeah, I'm sorry.
12:31It's just, you know, you're a very formidable person.
12:35Oh, please.
12:36Yeah, I felt a bit shy, so.
12:39Anyway.
12:43Here you are.
12:55Yeah, sorry about all that.
13:00What does this, um, W.I.W. mean?
13:04Wish I wrote.
13:09Yeah, I'm a little hot for you now, right?
13:14Yeah, it really spoke to me, personally.
13:19And what way?
13:20All of one's different wants being in conflict with each other, that's how I feel.
13:29I never seem to make up my mind about what I want.
13:36Why can't I just come around with it?
13:48You have records.
13:51What if I take a look?
13:53Oh.
13:55Of course.
14:01That's the place.
14:02That's good.
14:03How do you want to do this?
14:04I used to go to the Salsa Club in Florida when I was 16.
14:08I really formed it.
14:09How?
14:10I like dancing with the 30-year-old women.
14:13Oh, oh, oh.
14:14Sorry, sorry, sorry.
14:15Yeah.
14:22Yeah.
14:22Okay.
14:23Yeah.
14:26All right, so.
14:29I'm going to try and turn.
14:30Yeah.
14:32Yeah.
14:35That was good.
14:38Oh.
14:41Yeah.
14:44Oh, yeah, I meant to, um, I just forgot I brought these for you.
14:49I wanted to return them.
14:55Should I put them on?
14:59No.
15:02Sure.
15:17You know, if I had a place like this to go, I don't know what I'd write about.
15:22I'm so lost.
15:22Well, that sounds hard.
15:27What's your new book about?
15:28I can't talk about it.
15:30You don't need to tell me the story, but, mm-hmm.
15:34What's it about?
15:36I suppose it's about desire, the spiritual imperative of desire, how sometimes in one's life wanting something can feel akin
15:51to holiness.
16:00I think I'm going to take a swim, and then go back to my real life.
16:05A swim?
16:07Since you brought up a truck.
16:08It's going to be quite cold in there.
16:11It's going to be quite cold in there.
16:11I'm rushing.
16:18It's fine.
16:20I'll drive him home and drive him off, and the next time we see each other, we'll pretend that nothing
16:26out of the ordinary has happened.
16:29We'll continue a friendly but distant relationship.
16:35We'll look down and smile while we pass each other in the halls, and one day I will look at
16:40him and wonder what I ever felt.
16:43It's better that way.
16:45It's just life.
16:49It was a nice afternoon.
16:58What did I expect?
17:00He was going to take my face in his hands and kiss me?
17:03I'm not a teenager anymore.
17:07I'm not even 35.
17:41I'm not a teenager.
17:54I'm not a teenager anymore.
17:59Come on!
18:15Ah!
18:16Oh!
18:16Oh god, you're freezing!
18:20Oh, oh...
18:23You might get very drunk and be in the middle of a school day for a long drive.
18:26Um, you should get in the shower.
18:28I'm going to turn it on.
18:29Are you okay?
18:42The hot water's going to run out.
18:49The hot water ran out.
18:52Oh my God, just wait.
18:54Let me...
19:00This is John's sweater.
19:02It's not actual.
19:04I'll just stay there.
19:05I'll get you closed.
19:07You're calling me crazy.
19:08When I can't be calling all day like baby.
19:10My hair is wavy.
19:12I can't be talking about it.
19:14No message.
19:14I'm the worst lady.
19:16You're a gay gay gay gay.
19:17You're a gay gay gay.
19:18You're a gay gay gay.
19:19You're going out, baby.
19:21Time to go, baby.
19:21Change me.
19:22You're going to go crazy.
19:23Hey, bitch.
19:24Hey, bitch.
19:26Hey, bitch.
19:27Hey, bitch.
19:28Hey, bitch.
19:28Hey, bitch.
19:28Hey, bitch.
19:28Hey, bitch.
19:29Hey, bitch.
19:29Hey, bitch.
19:33What?
19:35Oh, God.
19:38How did you say, man?
19:40Did you really want to have her?
19:43I'm just saying, just take a little.
19:46Maybe some water would be...
19:47You?
19:49Yeah.
19:50You're going to take it better than me?
19:52Is that what you want?
19:54You're going to do it?
19:55Black.
19:57Black, is that what you want?
20:00Black.
20:01Okay, I'm just going to wake you up a little bit.
20:04Oh!
20:05Oh!
20:08Come on.
20:09Get off the show.
20:10This is a good trick.
20:13I'm going to go like doggy.
20:15I'm going to go my butt when it's just my tallie.
20:17I'm going to go my butt when it's just my tallie.
20:19It's a brand new game, new place I'm talking.
20:21Oh, McGee-Hawk.
20:22Or even Elizabethan agrarian times,
20:25mothers would tie their babies to chairs
20:28to keep them safe and upright
20:29so they could go work in the fields.
20:32I'm going to go.
20:33Josh, you're trying to let you know.
20:34I mean, I think to the point of the death of love.
20:36It's a crazy, amazing, vocal, but.
20:39It's a dream, awful, uttering.
20:41Baby, who knew you'd go fucking crazy?
20:44Get a bull crazy.
20:45Put these hate-naps, we can do a bitch.
20:47Get a bull crazy.
20:49Put these hate-naps, we can do a bitch.
20:50Baby steep, lazy.
20:51Ha!
20:53Hungry and thy crazy.
20:57Fortunately, I didn't know that.
20:57Tell them!
20:58I hate me!
21:01Ha!
21:02Rasy?
21:29It's just us.
21:41It's just us.
22:08It'll be great when you wrote this, because of honesty.
22:36It's just us.
22:42It's just us.
22:46It's just us.
22:55It's just us.
23:14It's just us.
23:36It's just us.
23:59It's just us.
24:25It's just us.
24:31It's just us.
25:00It's just us.
25:13It's just us.
25:14It's just us.
25:33It's just us.
25:43It's just us.
25:59It's just us.
26:02It's just us.
