00:00:09The surgery. What can I say about it? Other than that, it changed everything. All it took was my
00:00:19whole life. All that pain. All that struggle. And eight hours under anesthesia. I went from
00:00:35a caterpillar to a butterfly. And now I'm me. Can't you see?
00:00:50I'm finally me. Can't you see me for who I truly am? What more do I have to do?
00:01:00Okay, thanks. That's enough. Uh, sorry. No, that was great. Thanks for that.
00:01:07Thank you. As you know, the casting call is for a transgender
00:01:11male or transgender female. Just for our records, which one are you?
00:01:16Oh, uh, um, trans man. Trans male. Trans man.
00:01:23Great. Thanks. We'll be in contact.
00:01:37Hey, I just got out of the audition, which was a little...
00:01:44Yeah. Uh, on that front, bad news.
00:01:48Wait. They already passed. I was just up there 30 seconds ago.
00:01:54Yeah, sorry, Leo. They said they're going in a different direction.
00:01:59Different direction. Well, at least they're efficient.
00:02:03Onwards and upwards. Look, the real reason I'm calling is because you're confirmed.
00:02:08The callback? Yep, the callback. It's Monday, 2 p.m. at the production offices.
00:02:13They want you to read the same scene, so I'll send you the sides.
00:02:16I already have them memorized. Wonderful. You're gonna kill it.
00:02:28Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip. Zip.
00:02:37Got it.
00:02:47Are you okay?
00:02:49Yeah, I'm just dying.
00:03:04Remember, Leo, you are a worm.
00:03:06You're not pretending to be a worm, okay?
00:03:09Loosen up.
00:03:22So I'm auditioning for this, like, teen movie vampire series.
00:03:27Really? That's awesome.
00:03:28You're going to be like a vampire?
00:03:31Um, I mean, I'm going to be a vampire.
00:03:34Oh, okay.
00:03:35Yeah, but I might turn into a vampire, like, later on.
00:03:40Oh, that's so cool.
00:03:59Hi.
00:04:01Sorry I'm late.
00:04:10Oh, my God.
00:04:16Oh, my God.
00:04:33I feel like I came this close to booking.
00:04:37My agent said they pinned me.
00:04:40That's fantastic.
00:04:41It'd be fantastic to book, but...
00:04:45Yeah, how was your audition?
00:04:48They passed, but, um, I do have this callback for...
00:04:53The serious regular thing?
00:04:54Yeah.
00:04:55Leo, that's great.
00:04:56Yeah, I feel really...
00:04:57Do you see my shirt?
00:04:58Oh, um...
00:05:03Oh, here you go.
00:05:05Would you want to, um, go to this reading my friend's doing this weekend?
00:05:10Sure.
00:05:15But not, like, as a date, right?
00:05:18Totally.
00:05:19Because I don't want to ruin our dynamic.
00:05:23I think we work really well together as scene partners.
00:05:26I definitely wouldn't want to mess up our classroom chemistry.
00:05:30Good.
00:05:32I'm glad we're on the same page.
00:05:42What are you doing tonight?
00:05:43I've got a date.
00:05:45Cool.
00:05:46What are you up to?
00:05:48Uh, going to a friend's party, I think.
00:05:53Well, yeah.
00:06:08Hello?
00:06:10Surprise!
00:06:12Surprise!
00:06:14Surprise!
00:06:15Squirrel!
00:06:18Squirrel!
00:06:20Squirrel!
00:06:21You gorgeous creature.
00:06:25Ah, you look so different!
00:06:27A year in vitamin T will do that.
00:06:30Vitamin T?
00:06:31That's not strong.
00:06:32Oh my god!
00:06:32Right!
00:06:33Of course!
00:06:34Of course!
00:06:35Come on!
00:06:35Okay!
00:06:36Yeah!
00:06:41You really don't have to roll out the red carpet.
00:06:44I'm only staying at night.
00:06:46That's fine.
00:06:47Well, thank you.
00:06:50So, what are you doing in New York?
00:06:52Just passing through, you know, living my usual nomad life during the summer.
00:06:57And when I realized that I'd be driving through the city to go upstate, I couldn't resist.
00:07:05And I think you should come with me.
00:07:07I couldn't.
00:07:10I'm not taking no for an answer.
00:07:12No, really.
00:07:15No.
00:07:16Really.
00:07:17I really can't!
00:07:24I really can't.
00:07:29What?
00:07:30What?
00:07:30Eleanor!
00:07:32I am not...
00:07:34I'm taking it by the way.
00:07:36What?
00:07:37Smile.
00:07:37Damn it.
00:08:00Oh!
00:08:00Hey!
00:08:01Uh, you want me to clear up?
00:08:05Nah.
00:08:06We used to change in front of each other all the time, right?
00:08:10Right.
00:08:18Coffee?
00:08:19Ooh, yes. Please.
00:08:22So, I hear nothing for three weeks and then out of nowhere, out of the blue, I get a call
00:08:27from a new number and he said,
00:08:29Oh, sorry, I dropped my flip phone.
00:08:31Flip phone!
00:08:32In a bucket of paint at an art gathering.
00:08:35Okay.
00:08:35What the fuck is an art gathering?
00:08:38And then I was like, but you were posting on Instagram and he was like, yeah, I did it for
00:08:41my iPad.
00:08:43So?
00:08:44So, I kept fucking him until he disappeared again.
00:08:50You really know how to pick him.
00:08:52I'm nothing if not consistent.
00:08:55Are you?
00:08:56At least I'm consistent in my inconsistency.
00:08:59But you and Will are good?
00:09:01Oh, yeah.
00:09:02I'm glad we got back together.
00:09:04He's, um, less awful than the other guys I've been with.
00:09:08A glowing compliment.
00:09:10You know what I mean.
00:09:12What's he up to?
00:09:14He was on part of the road trip.
00:09:16We actually did a project together combining his drawings and my photographs.
00:09:19It was very romantic.
00:09:21What's the project?
00:09:23People and signage, speed limits, stop signs, public spaces, private life, all these little commandments everywhere.
00:09:35Still not fully formed yet.
00:09:37But, yeah, how's life as a Broadway hoofer?
00:09:39Oh, you know.
00:09:41No, I don't.
00:09:42Give me all the juicy details.
00:09:44I do have this call back for a serious thing.
00:09:48Leo!
00:09:49That's huge!
00:09:51I hope so.
00:09:52I mean, it would feel really good to book something.
00:09:55And then I could say my oldest friend is THE Leo Mark.
00:09:59Eleanor, stop.
00:10:00Don't forget about me when you're famous, okay?
00:10:02Right.
00:10:04I mean it.
00:10:06I won't.
00:10:08Good.
00:10:50Well, thank you, you may outlines.
00:10:51We'll be like, have a short walk on, pouvezple.
00:10:51I'm something like something.
00:10:51What are you starting to do?
00:11:04this is not TambiΓ©n. However,
00:11:12Wow, that's lovely.
00:11:15Friends of friends in high places.
00:11:20Can you?
00:11:21And they're just letting us stay here?
00:11:25Yeah, I met her at an arts residency and Lila said I could stay here whenever she's not here.
00:11:39Dips.
00:12:28Sit with me.
00:12:37You should put on a bathing suit.
00:12:39The sun feels so good on my skin.
00:12:42I'm good as I am.
00:12:45Suit yourself.
00:13:02Hey, this is Will.
00:13:03You know what to do.
00:13:25I think we should go shopping.
00:13:27I've got the urge to splurge.
00:13:30Shit.
00:13:41Oh dear.
00:13:46Do you want to try anything on?
00:13:48I mean, it's a women's store.
00:13:50Ah, right, right.
00:13:51Sorry.
00:13:53Sorry.
00:13:57Huh.
00:14:00She's cute.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:12Remember when we used to go to Savers?
00:14:15We'd get, what, ten pounds of clothes for ten dollars.
00:14:18They still have some of that stuff.
00:14:20Some really good shit.
00:14:22Okay.
00:14:24Oh.
00:14:26What do you think?
00:14:27It's nice.
00:14:29Nice?
00:14:31I'm not an expert on women's fashion.
00:14:33It is cute.
00:14:36Flattering?
00:14:37Sure, sure.
00:14:38Well, I like it.
00:14:39Will you check the tag and see how much it is?
00:14:51Sixty-five.
00:14:53Woof.
00:14:55We're not in Savers anymore, are we, Toto?
00:14:57No, we're not.
00:15:01Should we steal it?
00:15:03What?
00:15:04We can put it on my back.
00:15:06Eleanor.
00:15:08I'm kidding.
00:15:10Right.
00:15:10Great.
00:15:11Great.
00:15:12I'm gonna wear it out, though.
00:15:26Eleanor?
00:15:29Were you actually joking?
00:15:32Of course.
00:15:33We're not in college anymore.
00:15:34I can afford it.
00:15:36Right.
00:15:53I mean it.
00:15:54You have family me.
00:15:56Just because you refuse to see it doesn't mean it's not true.
00:15:59You don't have to be believed to be family.
00:16:02Our bond is deeper than biology.
00:16:05Whether you like it or not, we're both pretty connected.
00:16:08Yikes.
00:16:10Sorry.
00:16:11Is that for your callback?
00:16:14Yep.
00:16:15Dialogue's a little much, huh?
00:16:18I guess.
00:16:19I don't know.
00:16:19I think it's kind of nice.
00:16:21Totally.
00:16:25It's just nice to have a character that's not just, you know, talking about transitioning the whole time.
00:16:34Right.
00:16:35Well, um, whenever you want to practice, I am ready.
00:16:38I'm gonna draw upon my long and storied career as a chorus member from my sixth grade production of Oklahoma.
00:16:45Awkward, I forgot.
00:16:47An acting legend stands before me.
00:16:49Don't be shocked when I act in circles around you.
00:16:58I do.
00:16:59Wine.
00:17:02I think I should move.
00:17:05Again?
00:17:06Again, again, again.
00:17:08But I thought you liked Durham.
00:17:10I do, but...
00:17:13I also don't like getting stuck places, you know?
00:17:17What about Will?
00:17:21Well...
00:17:21Will's transportable.
00:17:23Oh. Sorry.
00:17:29Just...
00:17:34So...
00:17:35Moving?
00:17:37It's always a thought.
00:17:38You know me.
00:17:42Do the thing.
00:17:44What thing?
00:17:45You know.
00:17:47Squirrel!
00:17:48Squirrel!
00:17:52I never told you this in college.
00:17:55But...
00:17:56You'd be holding court at some party, and I would be...
00:18:00Hanging on the edge.
00:18:02Wondering when you were gonna figure out how much cooler than me you were.
00:18:06I would...
00:18:08Fantasize about...
00:18:09Doing something, I don't know...
00:18:12Cool enough to keep your attention.
00:18:14Like what?
00:18:16Something impulsive.
00:18:18Like...
00:18:18I don't know.
00:18:20Steal a car, go for a joyride, you know.
00:18:23Throw caution to the wind.
00:18:25I mean, never quite did that.
00:18:27No, I didn't.
00:18:28I do remember seeing you, though, at parties.
00:18:31At your most painfully, socially awkward looking at me.
00:18:36I always wondered what you were thinking.
00:18:38Well, now you know.
00:18:40Yeah, but it makes sense.
00:18:43You're an actor, and you're shy in real life, but on stage, you're...
00:18:49Where is with me?
00:18:51Well, everywhere you go, it's theater.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:19:01I think we should go out.
00:19:03Oh, really?
00:19:04Yeah, it's happy hour.
00:19:05We should hit the town.
00:19:07Have a few drinks.
00:19:08Have a few laughs.
00:19:10I haven't heard that one since college.
00:19:12Well, it's still true.
00:19:13The afternoon is young.
00:19:17Or old.
00:19:18But the night is still barely nascent.
00:19:20Yes, but I am very old now.
00:19:22Let's go.
00:19:23Please.
00:19:25Please, please, please, please.
00:19:27Sure.
00:19:27Yes.
00:19:29Ha ha ha ha.
00:19:35Ah.
00:19:37This is a puzzle for Alfred.
00:19:40I have to sit here and rescue her.
00:19:43Let's go.
00:19:44They're back.
00:19:50They're coming off the road.
00:19:57Come on, loosen up.
00:19:59I am loose.
00:20:00I'm loose.
00:20:24We've been hooking up for a year.
00:20:27A year?
00:20:29Yeah, but we're just friends.
00:20:32Oh, really?
00:20:34Yes, really.
00:20:36I mean, if she wanted more, I...
00:20:43But I respect her boundary.
00:20:45She wants to keep it professional.
00:20:48Except when you're having sex.
00:20:50Ugh.
00:20:51I just want someone to love me like Rita Wilson loves Tom Hanks.
00:20:55What?
00:20:57They famously love each other.
00:20:58A lot.
00:20:59I read a listicle about her.
00:21:02Well, you deserve an epic love like that.
00:21:08I'd just be happy with something a little more stable.
00:21:18But, um, yeah, I'm totally fine with the no strings thing.
00:21:26Totally.
00:21:32My own arts practice is really informed by being on the road.
00:21:36Not to get to Kerouac, but the freedom of the open road really frees me.
00:21:43I love Kerouac.
00:21:45Me too.
00:21:47Go to the bathroom.
00:21:49Oh, cool.
00:21:51So what's the longest you've ever driven in one go?
00:21:55Fifteen hours.
00:21:58Wow.
00:22:00This is so cool.
00:22:00I'll be back.
00:22:02Yeah.
00:22:05Let me go.
00:22:12All right, let me go.
00:22:15You're welcome.
00:22:43God, no, come on.
00:22:49So, how do they compare to your boyfriends?
00:22:52I'm not gonna, you know, size-wise put you in competition.
00:22:58You both have beautiful, artistic hands.
00:23:03Oh, sorry.
00:23:05I think I'm gonna head out.
00:23:08Um, sorry, he's my ride.
00:23:11I gotta go.
00:23:14Good to meet you.
00:23:17Bye.
00:23:32You know, you gotta stay if you wanted to.
00:23:34I know.
00:23:35I just hate Kerouac.
00:23:39And I'd never cheat on Will.
00:23:40It's just nice to flirt a little.
00:23:42Okay.
00:23:53Come on.
00:23:55Come on.
00:24:13you want dinner no I'm good I think I'm gonna just hang out here for a minute okay night sweetie
00:24:39so
00:24:47so
00:24:49so
00:24:49so
00:25:28Whenever you're ready.
00:25:32If I hadn't come, what would you have done?
00:25:34Something desperate.
00:25:36No, seriously, what would you have done?
00:25:37Paid my respects and left quietly.
00:25:40These assholes are the only ones who want to turn it into a whole thing.
00:25:43You can't expect to just show up here and know nothing.
00:25:47I mean, you look like Holly Golightly for Christ's sake.
00:25:50Are you slut-shaming me?
00:25:52Rhea.
00:25:54I couldn't turn up to my estranged father's funeral looking like shit, could I?
00:25:59I know that was a lot.
00:26:01What they did wasn't cool.
00:26:04Oh, threatening to have me arrested for trespassing wasn't cool?
00:26:06You know what I mean.
00:26:08You haven't saved me, AJ.
00:26:09That's not...
00:26:10Showing up here didn't fix anything for me.
00:26:13I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
00:26:17Why do you care so much?
00:26:21Because...
00:26:21Because you're my family, Rhea.
00:26:24Right.
00:26:28Family.
00:26:32I don't have any family.
00:26:37I mean it.
00:26:41You have family in me.
00:26:42Just because you refuse to see it doesn't mean it's not true.
00:26:46You don't have to be blood to be family.
00:26:49Our bond is deeper than biology.
00:26:54Whether you like it or not, we're irrevocably connected.
00:26:57Ever since that day at the crash pad, you've been linked.
00:27:02I messed up a line.
00:27:03No, you read them fine.
00:27:08I just thought maybe you're being a little gentle.
00:27:12Like, where's the energy?
00:27:14The passion.
00:27:19Why don't you try the monologue again, but this time maybe like...
00:27:24Angry.
00:27:26Why would I be angry?
00:27:28Rhea's kind of a bitch, right?
00:27:31Kind of?
00:27:32Right.
00:27:32She like doesn't listen.
00:27:34So you have to really get through to her.
00:27:36Like really shake her.
00:27:38I guess I just kind of was thinking about AJ as if he, you know, was a gentle person.
00:27:44When he's making a point, he wouldn't be like in her face.
00:27:47Yeah, but I feel like at this point, it'd be a really big breaking point for him.
00:27:52I think you want to wow the director, so you should just try something different, right?
00:27:59Yeah, maybe I...
00:28:01Try it angrier.
00:28:02Yeah!
00:28:03Just the monologue, just like, come on, like really give it to her.
00:28:06Come on!
00:28:07Yeah.
00:28:07I'll give you the line leading in.
00:28:17I don't have any family.
00:28:20I mean it.
00:28:24You have family in me, just because you refuse to see it doesn't mean it's not true.
00:28:29Whether you like it or not, we're irrevocably connected.
00:28:33But since that day at the crash pad, we've been linked.
00:28:38You're not perfect.
00:28:59You're not perfect.
00:29:06Neither am I.
00:29:13I'm careful.
00:29:13I think it's getting there.
00:29:15It's so weird.
00:29:17We can keep working on it.
00:29:20Fuck, I really don't want to fuck this up.
00:29:22You won't. We'll get there.
00:29:28And then I say, we fit, I guess, in our own misshapen way.
00:29:33And now you're supposed to put your palm against my palm and we interlace fingers.
00:29:38Right.
00:29:56You might not be those people in that church, but you have family standing right in front of you.
00:30:02So?
00:30:04Um.
00:30:05Um.
00:30:07Honestly?
00:30:08Yes, honestly.
00:30:10Why are you yelling?
00:30:11I have literally no idea. My friend gave me all these directions and now I'm totally lost.
00:30:17You were fine before.
00:30:19Fuck.
00:30:20Look, just get out of your head and don't run lines with her again.
00:30:22Mmm.
00:30:27I kinda wish it was just you and me up here.
00:30:31Oh yeah?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:35That's sweet.
00:30:38Is everything okay?
00:30:40I'm happy to run lines and stuff, but the guy that I've been dating, he wants to be exclusive.
00:30:48Oh yeah.
00:30:50That's, I mean, I'm cool with that.
00:30:53Neither of us wanted anything, right?
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:57But, I guess, now I want something with this guy.
00:31:01So...
00:31:03I hope that's okay.
00:31:06Of course.
00:31:07Thanks for being so chill.
00:31:09And seriously, run lines by yourself this weekend.
00:31:12Bye.
00:31:19Bye.
00:31:25Bye.
00:31:26Neal?
00:31:29Coming.
00:31:41You okay? You look like someone died.
00:31:44No, I'm good.
00:31:47Farm store?
00:32:08Ooh, these are gorge.
00:32:14It's a potted plant, so...
00:32:16It's a potted plant, so...
00:32:17What's in your hair?
00:32:18Hmm.
00:32:21Hi.
00:32:25How are vegetables so expensive?
00:32:27Inflation?
00:32:30Fuck.
00:32:32What?
00:32:33Just this person from acting classes here.
00:32:35Don't look, Eleanor.
00:32:37Why can't you say hi?
00:32:39Because he's on a really big show right now.
00:32:41So?
00:32:42And he's really good on it.
00:32:44Leo?
00:32:46Leo!
00:32:48Oliver!
00:32:49Hi. It's so good to see you.
00:32:51It's been a minute.
00:32:53So, what are you doing here?
00:32:56I'm just up here for the weekend.
00:32:58Oh, Joe's parents have a house up here, so we're here, like, all the time.
00:33:01Oh!
00:33:02This is my friend, Joe.
00:33:04Nice to meet you.
00:33:05Hi!
00:33:06You, too.
00:33:09And I'm Eleanor.
00:33:11Sorry.
00:33:12Sorry, this is my friend, Eleanor.
00:33:14Oh, hi.
00:33:17Hi, Eleanor.
00:33:18Um, so...
00:33:19How are you?
00:33:21I'm good.
00:33:22I just...
00:33:23I should say congratulations on the different house.
00:33:25I've been watching the show, and you're so wonderful in it.
00:33:28Ugh, thank you.
00:33:30You don't have to say that, though.
00:33:31Leo was just saying how good you are in it.
00:33:34It's just a great show.
00:33:35Wait, wait.
00:33:36Uh, I'm having, like, a brain blast moment.
00:33:39Um...
00:33:39Oh, yeah?
00:33:39Okay, no pressure at all, but you two should totally come over to my place for, like, snacks.
00:33:44I mean, we came here for cheese and crackers to be so lovely to share.
00:33:47I think we have, um, afternoon plans.
00:33:49They're easily changeable.
00:33:51Okay, so change them.
00:33:52Look, we'll stay in the store a little bit longer, buy a few things, and then we'll meet you outside?
00:33:58Hell yeah!
00:33:58Alright, cool.
00:34:00Amazing!
00:34:01Okay, see you!
00:34:04What is your problem?
00:34:06I guess I...
00:34:08He just was, like, the only other trans guy in your acting class, and we weren't that close, and it
00:34:14kind of felt...
00:34:14I don't know, like there was some competition.
00:34:16Well, you're not in class now.
00:34:18No need to be competitive.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Are you annoyed with me?
00:34:22Because I seized the moment.
00:34:24If you don't want to go, we can back out.
00:34:25No.
00:34:26No.
00:34:26No.
00:34:27Actually, thank you.
00:34:29Let's do the socializing thing.
00:34:31See?
00:34:33Serendipity.
00:34:34Adventure.
00:34:35For sure.
00:34:35For sure.
00:34:36For sure.
00:34:37For sure.
00:34:43For sure.
00:34:57For sure.
00:35:06For sure.
00:35:07For sure.
00:35:08See you.
00:35:08Good morning.
00:35:08I have to go ahead and do it.
00:35:10Hello.
00:35:11No.
00:35:12What?
00:35:14Oh, my God.
00:35:16Thank you, Joe.
00:35:16That looks yummy.
00:35:19That looks so good.
00:35:21Beautiful.
00:35:23I mean, I think a lot about, you know, art's ability to create meaningful change, right?
00:35:30I'm an actor because I believe movies are powerful engines for empathy.
00:35:35But sometimes I wonder what actually meaningfully changes.
00:35:38Like, I don't know, can you think of a movie that has changed the course of history, really?
00:35:44Uh, Cruising.
00:35:46You know, responsible for a huge homophobic backlash against queer men.
00:35:52Oh, no, Joe.
00:35:54But I love that movie.
00:35:56I mean, Al Pacino doing poppers in those tank tops.
00:36:02I don't know that one.
00:36:05But I'm sure it's better than what you've been auditioning for, am I right?
00:36:09I guess.
00:36:11You haven't saved me, AJ. Come on, Leo.
00:36:15That's not what I...
00:36:16Showing up here didn't change anything for me.
00:36:19I just wanted to make sure you're okay.
00:36:23You know the lines?
00:36:24Yeah, uh, I auditioned.
00:36:28Wow.
00:36:29That is, yeah, it's just so crazy.
00:36:31We went in for the same part.
00:36:33Oh, they already passed on me.
00:36:37Yeah.
00:36:39So sorry.
00:36:40It's fine.
00:36:40I'm actually really glad that you're up for it.
00:36:44When Leo first read it, he was so quiet, but I'm trying to work with him and, you know, try
00:36:48to get him to be a little angry, you know?
00:36:50I kind of thought of AJ as a sort of gentle guy.
00:36:55Huh.
00:36:59Joe, remind me of the name of this cheese.
00:37:02Uh, Camembert.
00:37:04Do you eat this?
00:37:05Yeah.
00:37:06Yeah, you can.
00:37:11Why didn't we talk about this kind of stuff when we were in class together?
00:37:14I don't know.
00:37:15I mean, we should have just been doing this the whole time.
00:37:19Yeah, right?
00:37:19Leo said you guys were a little competitive with each other.
00:37:22Eleanor.
00:37:23No, it's true.
00:37:25We were.
00:37:25I mean, we were competing for, like, the scraps of rolls they were throwing our way, but it all feels
00:37:32really stupid now.
00:37:34It does.
00:37:36Well, we're talking now.
00:37:39Cheers.
00:37:39Cheers.
00:37:40Oh, my God, this pool is everything.
00:37:43It was actually a little traumatizing.
00:37:46Maybe I'm not ready to keep this conversation going.
00:37:50Eleanor, we've totally been ignoring you.
00:37:52What about you?
00:37:52What do you do?
00:37:53I'm a photographer.
00:37:55I teach during the year and I travel every summer.
00:37:58Okay, that's enviable.
00:38:00It's nice to be free in that way.
00:38:03So, what college do you teach at?
00:38:06Oh, Eleanor teaches, like, at this really amazing high school.
00:38:09Oh, that's so cool.
00:38:11I mean, it must be really interesting to work with people that age.
00:38:14Yep.
00:38:15Eleanor has been living in Durham for, like, two years now.
00:38:18Has this really cool boyfriend who's also an artist and they went on this road trip together.
00:38:22Yep.
00:38:23Okay, how was that?
00:38:25Really romantic.
00:38:26He painted and I photographed.
00:38:30By that, he was drawing.
00:38:32Oh, drawing.
00:38:33Yeah, he usually is a painter, but because we were on the road, he was drawing because of the supplies
00:38:38and stuff.
00:38:39I was just texting him yesterday and he said he was really happy to be back home with his materials.
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:43Drawing.
00:38:44Yes.
00:38:47Uh, would anyone like some wine?
00:38:49Oliver, do you want to come with me?
00:38:51I can help.
00:38:51No, no, no.
00:38:52You're good.
00:38:53Got it.
00:38:58You're being weird.
00:39:01How?
00:39:02I just feel like you're not being yourself.
00:39:04And what is me being myself, Eleanor?
00:39:07It just seems like you're performing.
00:39:10Maybe I'm just having a good time and feeling loose with them.
00:39:15Then why aren't you like that with me?
00:39:18I...
00:39:18I have to pee.
00:39:20I am.
00:39:41Hey, this is Will.
00:39:42You know, like, motherfucker.
00:39:50You're right.
00:39:51I was being weird.
00:39:54Good thing you know my love language.
00:39:57Let's just have one.
00:40:10Go on, Leo.
00:40:15Are you serious right now?
00:40:17What?
00:40:18Okay, what's with the t-shirts?
00:40:21What do you mean?
00:40:23What do you mean?
00:40:23I feel like you're gonna drown with all those clothes on.
00:40:28Eleanor.
00:40:30What?
00:40:32I'm wearing a shirt because I'm binding.
00:40:36Oh, my God.
00:40:37I'm so sorry.
00:40:38I'm...
00:40:39It's fine.
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:50More wine?
00:40:51What are you doing?
00:40:52Oh, look, okay.
00:41:13Oh.
00:41:18Stop!
00:41:21Stop.
00:41:22No.
00:41:24Seriously, I have to stop laughing because my stomach is hurting.
00:41:28No more dirty knock-knock jokes for us.
00:41:31Is there more wine?
00:41:33Are you sure you want more?
00:41:36Yes.
00:41:38I guess I'm driving.
00:41:40That would be great.
00:41:42Does anyone else want one?
00:41:43What is that?
00:41:45Okay.
00:41:46Big girl laugh.
00:41:48So we're like in basically the middle of the desert.
00:41:54And like maybe...
00:41:56Maybe...
00:41:59There's a little stand.
00:42:06I told the entire auditorium I was bisexual during my campaign for student body president.
00:42:16And of course I lost.
00:42:19Oh my god, you lost.
00:42:20Yeah, thank you.
00:42:21I don't know why I thought the revelation would help my chances of being student body president in 2008 in
00:42:27Chatham, New York.
00:42:30But...
00:42:30Wow.
00:42:33I thought you were gay.
00:42:36No, uh...
00:42:37Bisexual.
00:42:39Queer.
00:42:39Both.
00:42:41Oliver, what are you?
00:42:43Oh, uh...
00:42:44I'm...
00:42:44I'm queer.
00:42:46Everyone's queer.
00:42:47Except for Leo.
00:42:50Um...
00:42:51I'm not straight.
00:42:53You're not?
00:42:54I'm...
00:42:55Queer.
00:42:57Didn't know that.
00:42:59Well, I'm just grateful to be able to live a genuine queer life.
00:43:06That part.
00:43:07Sometimes I wish I was queer.
00:43:09Oh, really?
00:43:11But do you think, like, maybe I'm queering heterosexuality, maybe?
00:43:19Well, maybe I am queer.
00:43:23Maybe you are.
00:43:26You would be the one to know.
00:43:27Well, remember when we hooked up Squirrel?
00:43:30Eleanor.
00:43:31Well, do you?
00:43:37Making out for less than a minute before you passed out?
00:43:39Drunk?
00:43:40So what?
00:43:41It doesn't count?
00:43:44I guess it counts.
00:43:47Well, I guess you're queer.
00:43:48See?
00:43:49I'm queer.
00:43:49I'm queer too!
00:43:50Like, why the fuck not?
00:43:52I just wanna be, like, in the club.
00:43:55I wanna get naked.
00:44:00Is she gonna be okay?
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:03Yeah.
00:44:03She's gonna be fine.
00:44:04Just a little.
00:44:05Too much day drinking.
00:44:07It's all up in here.
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Well, we should head out.
00:44:11Thanks.
00:44:12Again.
00:44:12Bye.
00:44:24Did you have fun?
00:44:26I did.
00:44:27I did actually.
00:44:32Oliver's.
00:44:34Oliver's kind of a blowhard.
00:44:38I thought he was nice.
00:44:39I thought him and Joe were smart.
00:44:42Yeah, they talk about ideas.
00:44:47I have an idea.
00:44:50What is it?
00:44:55I forgot.
00:44:58Okay.
00:45:15Eleanor?
00:45:16You may enter.
00:45:23Are you alright?
00:45:25Never better.
00:45:28Anything I can do to help?
00:45:31Sit.
00:45:38Do you still like me?
00:45:40Of course I do.
00:45:42Cause I was a terrible brute tonight, wasn't I?
00:45:46I still like you.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:51That's good.
00:46:03I think I left my phone at their house.
00:46:09I'll pick it up in the morning.
00:46:13I'll pick it up.
00:46:13I can't wait.
00:46:13I won't.
00:46:15I'll give it up.
00:46:19I'll pick it up.
00:46:21I'll pick it up.
00:46:23Take it up.
00:46:30I like my plan.
00:46:30I'll be right back.
00:46:30I'm going to interrupt.
00:46:31I'll take it up.
00:46:32I'll leave you every morning.
00:46:32I'm going to let her head.
00:46:32I'll be right back.
00:46:34I'll take it up.
00:46:35Maybe I'll leave you.
00:46:36the other way.
00:46:36You don't need to be away.
00:46:37I'm ready.
00:46:43I don't know.
00:47:20Morning.
00:47:21Morning.
00:47:22I have her phone.
00:47:24Thank God.
00:47:26Uh, do you want some coffee?
00:47:28Oh.
00:47:30Sure.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:38I'm not much of a hiking guy.
00:47:40No, you should definitely.
00:47:41I mean, the path is pretty clear on the property.
00:47:45You just have to, like, look out for the trail markers,
00:47:47and you should be good.
00:47:49Are you sure?
00:47:50Yeah, I mean, we're leaving today, but I know Joe would be happy
00:47:54if you swung by for just a little hike.
00:47:56Maybe we will.
00:47:57Oh, I have to think of something to do with her.
00:48:01Oh, I'm sorry about yesterday.
00:48:03She's a lot.
00:48:07It's all good, really.
00:48:09I mean, she's maybe a little territorial.
00:48:13Territorial?
00:48:15Over you.
00:48:18Protective, too.
00:48:20Huh.
00:48:21I think in kind of a sweet way.
00:48:24If a little.
00:48:26A little.
00:48:27A little.
00:48:27Yeah.
00:48:29I just, yeah, I still am sorry for all the unhinged stuff she said.
00:48:33You know, I don't really mind her chaos.
00:48:36Oh, really?
00:48:37Well, then maybe you and I should switch places for the weekend
00:48:41because, oh, she's exhausting.
00:48:44Maybe that's why she's your friend.
00:48:47What?
00:48:49Maybe you like a little bit of dysfunction?
00:48:52Okay, um, former classmate and now my psychoanalyst.
00:48:58Um, for the record, I like simple.
00:49:01I, I like boring.
00:49:05That's, that's good.
00:49:08Is it?
00:49:09Yeah, because I'm boring.
00:49:15You absolutely are not.
00:49:19I don't wanna, I, I'm usually a lot smoother than this.
00:49:27But, um, can I, can I kiss you?
00:49:32Me?
00:49:34Yeah, you.
00:49:35Me too.
00:49:37Are you and Joe?
00:49:39Oh, no, we're just friends.
00:49:50I've been wanting to do that since that terrible, terrible class.
00:49:55Really?
00:49:57Yeah.
00:49:58And I'm glad to know that you like boring because I'd very much like to do something boring with you
00:50:08sometime.
00:50:18Can I call you this week?
00:50:22I would really like that.
00:50:26Cool, me too.
00:50:28So, you should stick around, enjoy the pool, hang out.
00:50:34I'm gonna head back up.
00:50:36We gotta head out soon.
00:50:38Yeah.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:39Yeah?
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:40All right.
00:50:41I'm fine.
00:50:44Thanks for the coffee.
00:50:46Thanks for the kiss.
00:51:04You were gone for a while.
00:51:08Just getting your phone, remember?
00:51:11Ah, thank you, my hero.
00:51:16I got you a nice coffee from that place down the road.
00:51:19It's a little melted, though.
00:51:21I just had a coffee.
00:51:22But it's my peace offering.
00:51:34I'm sorry about last night.
00:51:37Apology accepted.
00:51:41But maybe, don't you think those guys are just like a tiny bit pretentious?
00:51:46Eleanor, seriously, you know you sound like cold and cold.
00:51:49Fine, fine.
00:51:51I am sorry for getting so drunk last night.
00:51:53I honestly don't remember much, but I'm sorry for whatever happened.
00:51:57Okay.
00:51:58Thanks.
00:51:59Cheers.
00:52:11You have family in me.
00:52:14You have family in me.
00:52:16You have family in me.
00:52:17Family in me.
00:52:19Ready?
00:52:22Yep.
00:52:24What time is it?
00:52:25Time for our big hike.
00:52:28Okay.
00:52:29Okay.
00:52:35Are you okay?
00:52:37You seem weird.
00:52:38Just tired.
00:52:42Do you want to run lines when we get back?
00:52:44Oh, no.
00:52:45Uh, I mean...
00:52:47No, thank you.
00:52:49Just, uh, appreciate it, though.
00:52:55I want to sit down.
00:52:55I'm sorry, okay?
00:53:01We're all with you.
00:53:02Let's go, no, no.
00:53:05I'm scared.
00:53:05Do you know what we are doing here?
00:53:05Do you know what we are doing now?
00:53:15We want to sit down with your kinderen.
00:53:16I'm sorry.
00:53:16I'm sorry, no.
00:53:17I'm sorry.
00:53:26I thought of a movie that changed history.
00:53:29Oh, yeah?
00:53:30The Thin Blue Line.
00:53:32Errol Morris literally solved a crime that exonerated an innocent man.
00:53:38Huh.
00:53:39Okay.
00:53:39What happened afterwards?
00:53:41He made a lot of money doing computer and beer commercials.
00:53:45The death row guy?
00:53:46Errol Morris.
00:53:47Right.
00:53:50Which way?
00:53:53This way.
00:53:55I don't see any trail markers.
00:53:57Trust me.
00:53:59Can we just stick to the trail?
00:54:05This is the trail, silly.
00:54:30Can we take a little break?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:35We're having fun, right?
00:54:38I never go on hikes.
00:54:40That's your whole problem.
00:54:42What?
00:54:43You have such a rigid view of yourself.
00:54:45You say you never go on hikes, but here you are, going on a hike.
00:54:49You just don't try anything new unless someone pushes you to do it.
00:55:05Okay.
00:55:15you know maybe what you think of as me being a coward i never said you were a coward is
00:55:22actually
00:55:25me just having a little structure in my life because my whole life is a risk and i don't

01:02:15It's our last night.
01:02:18It is.
01:02:24You shouldn't be drinking long.
01:02:36I heard you.
01:02:39Hmm?
01:02:40Like I heard you.
01:02:41I was fucked up.
01:02:44But can I say something?
01:02:48Maybe less fucked up.
01:02:51Sure.
01:02:53I miss us.
01:02:56You miss us?
01:02:58You're the best friend I've ever had.
01:03:02Like my best, best friend.
01:03:06And I feel like you haven't been acting that way or something.
01:03:15Or like you were my best friend and now you're just someone else.
01:03:23I don't know.
01:03:27I'm still me, Eleanor.
01:03:31Definitely still me.
01:03:34That's good.
01:03:36Maybe it's just, I wish I weren't still me.
01:03:44Maybe if you just accepted you a little more it would help.
01:03:49I mean, I always liked you as you are.
01:03:55Just, it's like when you're not happy being you that you become a little bit too much of you or
01:04:03something.
01:04:04Yeah.
01:04:07I liked following you around in college.
01:04:11You led me out of the hole I was in.
01:04:15And you still do.
01:04:22So...
01:04:32Eleanor.
01:04:34I think you're confused.
01:04:40I am confused.
01:04:42By you.
01:04:49Okay.
01:04:50You are...
01:04:52Something.
01:04:54Something.
01:05:12Something.
01:05:29Something.
01:05:37How are you?
01:05:37How are you?
01:05:37I can't.
01:05:37I can't.
01:05:52Oh, my God.
01:06:23Good night.
01:06:58Are you?
01:07:00No, yeah.
01:07:02Okay.
01:07:11Could you maybe, um, a little to the left?
01:07:16Sure.
01:07:17Yeah.
01:07:28My hand's crimped.
01:07:30Oh, um, that should be.
01:07:32Maybe if, um, yeah.
01:07:48Oh, um, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh.
01:08:13Did you just fake it?
01:08:18No.
01:08:18Oh.
01:08:22Yes.
01:08:25Okay.
01:08:34I guess I should probably go.
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:58Oh, God, Leo, I'm so sorry.
01:09:03It was so horrifying.
01:09:07Have you ever had worse sex?
01:09:10No, even the first time wasn't this bad.
01:09:17At least it was brief.
01:09:22And now we know.
01:09:24We really know.
01:09:25And it will never happen again.
01:09:27Unless we're stuck in a cave or on a deserted island.
01:09:30Or on a long cruise ship trip.
01:09:33Or if they make another Avengers movie that's three hours long and we're stuck in the last row.
01:09:37We run out of popcorn.
01:09:45So, I didn't ruin everything.
01:09:52No.
01:09:57I just...
01:10:01I did the thing where I sabotaged a good thing.
01:10:08And I've just been driving around for the past couple weeks aiming my camera aimlessly at shit and not pressing
01:10:16the shutter.
01:10:17And you have a whole life that I know nothing about.
01:10:22And I know it's not your fault.
01:10:26I am a little clueless.
01:10:30But I'm learning, right?
01:10:32We're all learning.
01:10:43You want to know something weird?
01:10:46Another secret.
01:10:49Kind of.
01:10:53You know how much of a loser I feel like I am.
01:10:56You're not a loser.
01:10:57No, don't try to make me feel better.
01:10:59But here's the thing.
01:11:05I'm a fucking good teacher.
01:11:09Like, I'm bizarrely good at it.
01:11:13And my whole life plan was like, no, I'm an artist.
01:11:17And I was somehow embarrassed that I became a high school teacher.
01:11:22But I admit it.
01:11:27I fucking love my job.
01:11:37That's awesome.
01:11:39Pays shit.
01:11:40Yeah.
01:11:41It's exhausting.
01:11:43The principal's a scumbag.
01:11:46That sucks.
01:11:47Did I mention the pay shit?
01:11:49You did.
01:11:54I'm so sorry for blowing everything up.
01:11:57I'm sorry, too.
01:12:04Why do you care so much?
01:12:12Because, because you're my family, right?
01:12:16Right?
01:12:18Family.
01:12:22I don't have any family.
01:12:25I mean it.
01:12:29You have family in me.
01:12:32Just because you refuse to see it doesn't mean it's not true.
01:12:39You don't have to be blood to be family.
01:12:44Our bond is deeper than biology.
01:12:50Whether you like it or not, we're irrevocably connected.
01:12:55Ever since that day at the crash pad, we've been linked.
01:13:01You're not perfect.
01:13:04Neither am I.
01:13:08But we're perfect in our imperfection.
01:13:12Two warped puzzle pieces.
01:13:15That managed to fit just right.
01:13:21You fit me.
01:13:24And I fit you.
01:13:27So.
01:13:29Yeah, right.
01:13:32You have family.
01:13:35May not be those people in that church, but.
01:13:40You have family standing right in front of you.
01:13:46I was wrong.
01:13:48That's how you should do it.
01:13:51Gentle.
01:13:55You're really good, Leo.
01:14:05Bye-bye.
01:14:06Bye-bye.
01:14:24Thanks.
01:14:26Bye-bye.
01:14:27Bye-bye.
01:14:28Let's go.
01:14:59I love you.
01:15:54Let's get started.
01:16:08Let's get started.
01:16:53Let's get started.
01:16:58I thought about you every night and day.
01:17:04Now talking's pretty strange.
01:17:09We're on a different page.
01:17:13It's healthier this way.
01:17:17But when I look at you, I see an old friend, I see an old friend passing through.
01:17:26And when I think of you, I wanna be friends, I wanna be friends with you.
01:17:37With you.
01:17:39With you.
01:17:52We're here, Mark.
01:18:03Years pass and I pick up the phone
01:18:08To see where this could go
01:18:13How could we ever know
01:18:17So let's just take it slow
01:18:23Tears fall, it seems that we've outgrown
01:18:29What kept us on our own
01:18:33It's really come to show
01:18:37There's nowhere we can go
01:18:42But when I look at you I see an old friend
01:18:47I see an old friend passing through
01:18:50And when I think of you I wanna be friends
01:18:55I wanna be friends with you
01:18:59But when I look at you I see an old friend
01:19:04I see an old friend passing through
01:19:07And when I think of you I wanna be friends
01:19:12I wanna be friends
01:19:15I wanna be friends
01:19:17I wanna be friends
01:19:36I wanna be friends with you
01:19:36I wanna be friends with you
01:20:19I wanna be friends with you
01:20:19I wanna be friends with you
01:20:22I wanna be friends with you
01:20:33To see you all in the side
