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.
02:39Yes.
02:42Red or white?
02:44Oh.
02:44Wait.
02:45Should 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.
02:54Oh.
02:55Hi.
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.
03:09Oh.
03:10I take her every Wednesday.
03:11It's the best part of my week.
03:13Mm-hmm.
03:14Would now be a good time to talk about your book?
03:18Sure.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Let's, let's, uh, let's pop the 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.
03:34Oh.
03:34I don't know about that.
03:35Oh, no, no.
03:35You'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.
03:45I'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.
03:55She, I'm worried about her.
03:57She, uh, she's been...
03:59Distant?
04:01Shh.
04:02I don't know what to talk about.
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?
04:12Certainly be a change of pace.
04:14Well, what I find so remarkable about your book is that, um, you 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.
04:51Cynthia'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.
05:16Uh, darn it.
05:18I, I wish we could hang out more.
05:20Um, I'll be back in a minute.
05:21So, can we get a session?
05:28Oh, excuse me.
05:29Excuse me.
05:30How can I help you?
05:31Yes.
05:31May we please have coffees, two front of breakfast, and please hold the chair because it's his birthday.
05:37Bye, thank you.
05:43Tell me what happened.
05:45He 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.
05:57The bar was in a hotel.
06:00I knew sex was on the table.
06:02Everyone knew that John slept with underdogs.
06:07We all knew that.
06:10My brothers are all in finance.
06:13Um, yeah, 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.
07:00I'll get it.
07:01I'll get it.
07:01Oh, no way.
07:02We'll split it.
07:03No, I'm told to split a check.
07:05I'll, uh, you'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.
07:51Cricé, but...
07:53True.
08:05Professor Kandinsky, I have an idea
08:07I have this sweet little cabin nearby
08:10And 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
08:16And I could offer you a prompt
08:18You have no idea
08:20How much I want to do that
08:23I just, I think I should probably go home
08:25I think Cynthia would kill me
08:26You know, sometimes it's better to ask forgiveness
08:29Than 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?
08:41Lab, how are you going to enrich your inner life
08:44If you are always on the clock?
08:47Well
08:50Alright, I need to call Cynthia
08:52Give her first
08:58It's up
08:59What does Cynthia say?
09:01She's all that funny
09:04She is a cool wife
09:08Get her
09:09Do you find it hard on the marys to understand
09:12The other person wants you to be happy?
09:16Who can ever understand what another person wants?
09:19Truly
09:24We're two minutes away
09:28Is there cell service?
09:31Oh no
09:31No cell service
09:33No wifi
09:33No 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
09:57Oh no
09:58Is that a cappellina?
10:00I found this lime juice
10:02I hope it's okay
10:04I hope 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
10:32One of the most irritating persons on the bus
10:34She's just
10:35You know
10:35She's a challenge
10:36Yeah
10:37You're
10:37Empty
10:40Yeah
10:40I always think too fast
10:42Stay here
10:43And 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
10:57Because he liked my writing
10:59I felt chosen
11:01And he was charming
11:05Okay
11:06Thank you
11:07We will hear the remaining testimonies tomorrow
11:48Oh, I was going to bring these out to you
11:51It's okay
11:51The sum is getting a bit too much
11:54Got to protect the money maker
11:56Oh, yeah
11:58Crossing safety
12:00Stagnar
12:01What a writer
12:02Well, you like him, huh?
12:10I'm sorry, Clyde
12:12But weren't we going to
12:13Discuss each other's books?
12:16Oh
12:18Ah, shit
12:19Yeah
12:19I mean, I'm sorry I didn't bring it up
12:21It wasn't that the point
12:22No, no, yeah, of course
12:24Hold on
12:24Word
12:27Yeah
12:30Yeah, I'm sorry
12:31It's just, you know
12:32You're a very, um
12:34Vermitable person
12:35Oh, please
12:36Yeah, I felt a bit shy
12:38So
12:39Anyway
12:43Here you are
12:55Yeah, sorry about all that
13:00What does this, um
13:02W-I-W mean?
13:04Wish I wrote
13:09Yeah, I think I'm a little hot for you now
13:11Right now
13:14Yeah, it really spoke to me
13:15Personally
13:19Emily
13:21All of
13:23One's
13:23Different wants
13:25Being in conflict
13:26With each other
13:27That's
13:27How I feel
13:28I never
13:30Seem to make up my mind
13:31About what I want
13:36Why can't I just
13:37Come around with it?
13:48You have records
13:51Well, if I
13:52Take a look
13:55Of course
14:02That's the basic step
14:03That's good
14:03How do you even know how to do this?
14:04I used to go to a
14:05Salsa club in Florida
14:06When I was
14:07Sixteen
14:08I reformed it
14:09How?
14:10I like dancing with the
14:12Thirty-year-old women
14:12Yeah
14:13Oh, oh, oh
14:14Sorry, sorry, sorry
14:15Yeah
14:22Okay
14:22Yeah
14:26Okay
14:26Alright, sorry
14:26I'm going to try and turn
14:30That was good
14:38Oh
14:41Yeah
14:42Oh, yeah
14:45I meant to
14:45I just forgot
14:46I brought these
14:48For you
14:49I wanted to return them
14:55Should I put them on?
14:59No
15:01Sure
15:17You know, if I had a place like this to go
15:19I don't know
15:21What I'd write about
15:22I'm so lost
15:23Yeah, well, 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
15:31But
15:34What's it about?
15:36I suppose it's about
15:40Desire
15:41The
15:43Spiritual imperative
15:45Desire
15:46How
15:47Sometimes in one's life
15:49Wanting something
15:50Can feel akin to
15:54Holiness
15:59I think I'm going to
16:01Take a swim
16:01And 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
16:10I'm rushing
16:18It's fine
16:20I'll drive him home
16:22And drive him off
16:23And the next time we see each other
16:25We'll pretend that nothing out of the ordinary has happened
16:29Continue a friendly but distant relationship
16:35Look down and smile when we pass each other in the halls
16:39One day I will look at him
16:40And 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
17:08I'm not even 35
17:08I'm not even 35
17:41I don't want to go.
18:16Oh, my God, you're freezing.
18:20Oh, oh.
18:23You might get very drunk and be in the state for a long drive.
18:26You should get in the shower.
18:28I'm going to turn it on.
18:29Okay.
18:42The hot water's going to run out.
18:51Oh, my God.
18:53Just wait.
18:54Let me.
19:00This is John's spreader.
19:02It's so cool.
19:04I'll stay there.
19:05I'll get your clothes.
19:07You're calling me crazy.
19:08When I can't be running out, they like baby.
19:10Your hair is waiting.
19:12Your hair is waiting.
19:13I can't be.
19:13I'm going to have no message.
19:14I'm not worse, ladies.
19:16When you're gay, can't get me.
19:17You're a poor savage.
19:18You're up, you're waiting.
19:19You're going out, they need time, I'm day.
19:21Crazy, crazy, gotta go crazy.
19:23Hey, that bitch is no crazy.
19:25Hey, that bitch is no crazy.
19:26Hey, that bitch is no crazy.
19:27Hey, that bitch is no crazy.
19:29Oh, my God.
19:31Oh, my God.
19:33Oh, my God.
19:35Oh, my God.
19:36Oh, my God.
19:38Perfect.
19:39I'm just going to get you over here.
19:41I don't want to.
19:42I don't want to.
19:44Just take a little, maybe some water with me.
19:47You?
19:49Yeah.
19:50You're going to take advantage of me?
19:52Is that what you want?
19:54You're going to do it?
19:55Vlad.
19:56Oh.
19:57Vlad, is that what you want?
20:00Vlad.
20:01Okay, I'm just going to wake you up a little bit.
20:04Oh, my God.
20:06Oh, my God.
20:06Oh, my God.
20:08Come.
20:09Get over here.
20:10It's a good drink.
20:13Then I'm all like foggy.
20:15We'll pull my foot, bring me to my collary.
20:17We'll just stick to my rear.
20:19It's a brand new game.
20:20You face like jogging.
20:21Or medieval.
20:22Even Elizabethan, agrarian times.
20:25Others would tie their babies to chairs,
20:28keeping safe and upright,
20:29so they could go work in the fields.
20:31Oh, my God.
21:09It's just us.
21:41It's just us.
22:08It'll be great when you wrote this because of honesty.
22:12It'll be great when you wrote this.
22:41It's just us.
22:46It's just us.
22:55It's just us.
22:58It's just us.
23:14It's just us.
23:29It's just us.
23:29It's just us.
23:50It's just us.
23:50It's just us.
23:56It's just us.
24:13It's just us.
24:22It's just us.
24:23It's just us.
24:32It's just us.
25:00It's just us.
25:16It's just us.
25:16It's just us.
25:43It's just us.
25:59It's just us.
26:02It's just us.
