00:00:35a caterpillar to a butterfly. And now I'm me. Can't you see?

00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:12Remember when we used to go to Savers?
00:14:14We'd get, what, 10 pounds of clothes for $10?
00:14:18They still have some of that stuff, some 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.
00:14:34It 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?
00:14:5165.
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?
00:15:04What?
00:15:04We can put it in my back.
00:15:06Eleanor.
00:15:08I'm kidding.
00:15:10Right.
00:15:11Right.
00:15:12I'm gonna wear it out, though.
00:15:13Isn't it?
00:15:13No.
00:15:13No.
00:15:30Oh, no.
00:15:30There's nothing.
00:15:30No.
00:15:32No, no.
00:15:33I can't get it out.
00:15:36Right.
00:15:53I mean it. You have family.
00:15:56Just because you refuse to see it doesn't mean it's not true.
00:15:59You don't have to be blood to be family.
00:16:02Our bond is deeper than biology.
00:16:06Whether you like it or not, we're both pretty connected.
00:16:08Yikes.
00:16:10Sorry.
00:16:12Was that for your callback?
00:16:14Yep.
00:16:15Dialogue's a little much, huh?
00:16:18I guess. I don't know. I think it's kind of nice.
00:16:22Totally.
00:16:26It's just nice to have a character that's not just, you know,
00:16:31talking about transitioning the whole time.
00:16:34Right. Well, whenever you want to practice, I am ready.
00:16:38I'm going to draw upon my long and storied career as a chorus member
00:16:42from 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.
00:16:59Wine.
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 I also don't like getting stuck places, you know?
00:17:17What about Will?
00:17:20Well, Will's transportable.
00:17:23Oh. Sorry.
00:17:29Just...
00:17:34So... moving?
00:17:37It's always a thought. You know me.
00:17:42Do the thing.
00:17:44What thing?
00:17:45You know.
00:17:47Scroll!
00:17:48Scroll!
00:17:49Scroll!
00:17:49Oh, no, no, no.
00:17:53I never told you this in college, but...
00:17:56You'd be holding court at some party, and I would be hanging on the edge,
00:18:02wondering when you were going to figure out how much cooler than me you were.
00:18:06I would fantasize about doing something, I don't know, cool enough to keep your attention.
00:18:14Like what?
00:18:16Something impulsive.
00:18:17Like...
00:18:18I don't know.
00:18:20Steal a car, go for a joyride, you know.
00:18:23Throw caution to the wind.
00:18:25We never quite did that.
00:18:27No, I didn't.
00:18:28I do remember seeing you, though, at parties,
00:18:30at 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...
00:18:49Whereas 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...
00:19:17old.
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.
00:19:57Come on, listen up.
00:19:59I am loose.
00:20:00I am 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.
00:20:35Really.
00:20:36I mean...
00:20:38If she wanted more, I...
00:20:42But...
00:20:44I 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 too Kerouac, but the freedom of the open road really frees me.
00:21:42I 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?
00:21:56Fifteen hours.
00:21:59Wow.
00:22:11My point.
00:22:12Come on.men,
00:22:13come on. I'm
00:22:21sorry. You're
00:22:27pissed, okay. Go to
00:22:30the bathroom. Go to
00:22:36the bathroom. I'm
00:22:36sorry. You're
00:22:39up. I'm
00:22:39sorry. I'm
00:22:40sorry. I'm
00:22:40sorry. I'm
00:22:41sorry. I'm
00:22:41sorry. No.
00:22:43God, no, come on.
00:22:45Go on.
00:22:46Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:22:47Huh, uh-huh.
00:22:48So, how do they compare to your boyfriends?
00:22:52I'm not gonna, you know, size-wise put you in competition.
00:22:57Mm-hmm.
00:22:57You both have beautiful, artistic hands.
00:23:03Oh, sorry.
00:23:05Uh, I think I'm gonna head out.
00:23:08Um, sorry, he's my ride.
00:23:10I gotta go.
00:23:14Good to meet you.
00:23:17Bye.
00:23:32You know, you could have stayed 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.
00:23:48Um...
00:24:13You want dinner?
00:24:15No, I'm good.
00:24:16I think I'm going to just hang out here for a minute.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:21Night, sweetie.
00:25:19No, I don't want to looki about this.
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?
00:26:20Because...
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.
00:26:56Ever since that day at the crash pad.
00:26:59You've been linked.
00:27:02I messed up a line.
00:27:04No.
00:27:04You read them fine.
00:27:08I just thought...
00:27:10Maybe you're being a little gentle.
00:27:12Like...
00:27:13Like where's the energy?
00:27:15The...
00:27:15Um...
00:27:16Passion.
00:27:18I...
00:27:19Why don't you try the monologue again?
00:27:20But this time maybe like...
00:27:24Angry.
00:27:26Why would I be angry?
00:27:28Well Rhea'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...
00:27:42You 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...
00:27:48It'd be a really big breaking point for him.
00:27:52I think you want to wow the director.
00:27:54So 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.
00:28:04Just like come on.
00:28:05Like 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.
00:28:21I mean it.
00:28:24You have family in me.
00:28:25Just 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.
00:28:33Ever since that day at the crash pad, we've been linked.
00:28:38You're not perfect.
00:28:41Neither am I.
00:28:42But we're perfect in our imperfection.
00:28:46Two warped puzzle pieces that managed to fit just right.
00:28:53You fit me.
00:28:54And I fit you.
00:28:57So yeah, Rhea, you have family.
00:29:00It may not be those people in the church, but...
00:29:04You got family standing right in front of you.
00:29:09How was that?
00:29:12I think it's getting there.
00:29:15That'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.
00:29:24We'll get there.
00:29:28And then I say...
00:29:29We 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...
00:30:03So...
00:30:05Um...
00:30:07Um...
00:30:07Um...
00:30:08Yes, honestly.
00:30:10Why are you yelling?
00:30:11I have literally no idea.
00:30:14My 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.
00:30:24Mmm...
00:30:27I kinda wish it was just you and me up here.
00:30:31Oh yeah?
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:35That's...
00:30:35Sweet.
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.
00:31:19There you go.
00:31:25Nia?
00:31:29Coming.
00:31:40You okay?
00:31:42You 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?
00:32:31Fuck.
00:32:32What?
00:32:33Just this person from acting class is here.
00:32:36Don't look, Eleanor.
00:32:38Why 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.
00:32:50It'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.
00:33:02Oh, this 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.
00:33:14Well, hi.
00:33:17Hi, Eleanor.
00:33:18Um, so, how are you?
00:33:21I'm, I'm good.
00:33:22I just, I should say, congratulations on Sifrin House.
00:33:25I've been watching the show, and you're so wonderful in it.
00:33:28Ugh, thank you.
00:33:29You 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, wait.
00:33:36Uh, I'm having, like, a brain blast moment.
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 a 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.
00:33:59All right, cool.
00:34:00Amazing.
00:34:00Okay, see you.
00:34:04What's your problem?
00:34:06I guess I, he just was, like, the only other trans guy in your acting class, and we weren't that
00:34:13close, and it kind of felt, I don't know, like there was some competition.
00:34:16Well, you're not in class now, and I 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, no.
00:34:27Actually, thank you.
00:34:29Let's do the socializing thing.
00:34:32See?
00:34:33Serendipity.
00:34:34Adventure.
00:34:34For sure.
00:34:35Here we go.
00:35:06Hello.
00:35:07Sweet and right.
00:35:08Yeah, it's open by the corner.
00:35:10No.
00:35:12What?
00:35:14Oh my God.
00:35:16Thank you, Joe.
00:35:19That looks so good.
00:35:23I mean, I think a lot about 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.
00:35:39Like, 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.
00:35:51Oh no, Joe.
00:35:54But I love that movie.
00:35:56I mean, Al Pacino doing poppers in those tank tops.
00:35:59It's just, ugh.
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.
00:36:14Come 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,
00:36:48try to 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,
00:37:30but it all feels really 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.
00:38:01It's nice to be free in that way.
00:38:02Okay.
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, has this really cool boyfriend
00:38:19who's also an artist, and they went on this road trip together.
00:38:22Yep.
00:38:23Okay.
00:38:23How 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
00:38:37of the supplies and stuff.
00:38:39I was just texting him yesterday and he said he was really happy to be back home with his
00:38:42materials.
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.
00:38:52You got 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?
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.
00:40:39Um...
00:40:40It's fine.
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me?
00:40:50More wine?
00:40:51I'm so sorry.
00:40:54I'm so sorry.
00:41:18I'm so sorry.
00:41:21I'm so sorry.
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?
00:41:32Do 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 more?
00:41:43What is that?
00:41:45Okay.
00:41:47Bigger glass.
00:41:50So we're, like, in basically the middle of the desert.
00:41:54And, like, maybe...
00:42:07I 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.
00:42:20I 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, but...
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, I'm queer.
00:42:45Everyone's queer.
00:42:47Except for Leo.
00:42:48Hello.
00:42:50Um...
00:42:51I'm not straight.
00:42:53You're not?
00:42:54I'm queer.
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.
00:43:10Oh, really?
00:43:11But do you think, like, maybe I'm queering heterosexuality, maybe?
00:43:19Well, maybe I am queer.
00:43:24Maybe 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 drunk?
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.
00:43:59Is she gonna be okay?
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:03She's gonna be fine.
00:44:04Just a little too much day drinking.
00:44:07Need it all up in there?
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Well, we should head out.
00:44:11Thanks.
00:44:12Again.
00:44:24Did you have fun?
00:44:26I 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...
00:44:45Ideas.
00:44:47I have an idea.
00:44:50What is it?
00:44:54I 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.
00:45:32What?
00:45:38Do you still like me?
00:45:40Of course I do.
00:45:42Because I was a terrible brute tonight, wasn't I?
00:45:46I still like you.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:50Okay.
00:45:51That's good.
00:46:04I think I left my phone at their house.
00:46:09I'll pick it up in the morning.
00:46:36I'll pick it up in the morning.
00:46:44I'm ready.
00:46:52I'll pick it up.
00:46:54I'm good at the minute.
00:46:54All right.
00:47:01I'm ready.
00:47:20Morning.
00:47:21Morning.
00:47:22I have her phone.
00:47:24Thank God.
00:47:26Do you want some coffee?
00:47:28Oh.
00:47:30Sure.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:32I have her phone.
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,
00:47:52but I know Joe would be happy if you swung by
00:47:55for just a little hike.
00:47:56Maybe we will.
00:47:58I have to think of something to do with her.
00:48:01Oh, I'm sorry about yesterday.
00:48:04She's...
00:48:04a lot.
00:48:06It's all good.
00:48:08Really. I mean,
00:48:10she'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. A little. Yeah.
00:48:28I just...
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:30I 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,
00:48:42because...
00:48:42Oh, she's exhausting.
00:48:45Maybe that's why she's your friend.
00:48:47What?
00:48:49Maybe you like a little bit of dysfunction?
00:48:51Okay.
00:48:54Um...
00:48:55Former classmate and now my psychoanalyst.
00:48:58Um...
00:48:59For the record, I like simple.
00:49:01I...
00:49:02I like boring.
00:49:05That's...
00:49:06That's good.
00:49:08Is it?
00:49:10Yeah, because...
00:49:12I'm boring.
00:49:14You absolutely are not.
00:49:18I don't wanna...
00:49:22I...
00:49:23I'm usually a lot smoother than this.
00:49:28But, um...
00:49:30Can I...
00:49:31Can I kiss you?
00:49:32Me?
00:49:34Yeah, you.
00:49:36Are you and Joe...
00:49:39Oh, no.
00:49:40We're just friends.
00:49:49I'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,
00:50:02because I'd very much like to do something boring with you sometime.
00:50:18Can I call you this week?
00:50:22I would really like that.
00:50:26Cool.
00:50:27Me too.
00:50:29So, you should stick around, enjoy the pool, hang out.
00:50:33I'm gonna head back up.
00:50:36We gotta head out soon.
00:50:37Yeah.
00:50:39Yeah?
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:40Alright.
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.

00:53:26I 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.
00:53:48Right.
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.
00:54:53Okay.
00:54:54I'm sorry.
00:55:06You're so good.
00:55:15You think?
00:55:19You're good.
00:55:20I'm sorry.
00:55:21You're so good.
00:55:23is actually me just having a little structure in my life
00:55:26because my whole life is a risk.
00:55:29And I don't need to, you know, act out like some theater kid
00:55:32just to prove a point.
00:55:36So everywhere I go is theater, right?
00:55:39Yep, just without stage.
00:55:41I'm a photographer.
00:55:43Oh, right.
00:55:44And where's the camera?
00:55:47Why are you being such an asshole?
00:55:48If you don't want to keep hiking, then go back to the house.
00:55:50Why am I being an asshole?
00:55:53Go back to the house.
00:55:54Where the hell are we?
00:55:57I think we're lost.
00:55:58Yeah, no shit.
00:56:01No, we're, like, lost. Metaphorically lost.
00:56:06And actually lost.
00:56:10What are you doing?
00:56:12They're gonna navigate us out of here.
00:56:14Not just metaphorically.
00:56:18I don't have service, do you?
00:56:19Don't worry about it.
00:56:22Can you check if you have service?
00:56:26Eleanor!
00:56:28What?
00:56:48Oh, yeah, Eleanor.
00:56:52Where are we?
00:56:54See?
00:56:55We're on the trail.
00:56:56Yeah, but do we even know if we're going in the right direction?
00:56:57It's a loop.
00:57:00Okay, my phone just died.
00:57:05Okay.
00:57:08Are you texting right now?
00:57:09No.
00:57:10If you are texting Will with our source of light...
00:57:13I'm not texting Will.
00:57:13I haven't texted Will all weekend because I'm trying to be present with you.
00:57:18You haven't texted Will all weekend.
00:57:19Let's just try to get out of here, huh?
00:57:22So...
00:57:23You haven't texted him at all?
00:57:24No.
00:57:25No.
00:57:26No.
00:57:28Is that, like, normal for you guys?
00:57:30And I...
00:57:31Weren't you just saying that you were texting him yesterday?
00:57:33Okay, busybody.
00:57:34We broke up, okay?
00:57:36What the fuck, Eleanor?
00:57:38So you've just been lying to me all weekend?
00:57:40Well, you hide shit from me.
00:57:42You didn't want to take your shirt off and get in the water.
00:57:44Why?
00:57:45Because you didn't want me to know that you hadn't had top surgery.
00:57:47Am I right?
00:57:48That is completely different, Eleanor.
00:57:49Oh, is it?
00:57:50You're so fucking clueless.
00:57:53I'm not clueless.
00:57:55You just don't clue me in.
00:57:57This isn't about me.
00:57:59This is about you lying to me all weekend.
00:58:01What do you want me to say?
00:58:03Just tell me why you're not telling me shit.
00:58:06Okay.
00:58:10We were on the road trip for two days and I picked some stupid fight about directions
00:58:14and he just fucking left.
00:58:15Okay?
00:58:17He hitchhiked back home.
00:58:19I mean, why should I admit to you that I'm 29 fucking years old
00:58:23and I can't seem to keep a relationship for longer than three months?
00:58:27And you have your head so far up your own ass with your shitty little callback
00:58:31for your shitty little TV show and all you care about is impressing pretentious assholes
00:58:35that you don't even like.
00:58:36Wow.
00:58:37Eleanor, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's shitty.
00:58:41What?
00:58:42It's not like we're in college anymore.
00:58:45I don't need to follow you around and just mirror back all your thoughts and opinions.
00:58:49Okay, that's not...
00:58:52I know I'm probably not supposed to say this because it's problematic or whatever
00:58:54because I'm not allowed to have any feelings about your transition,
00:58:57but I miss how things were.
00:59:01When you...
00:59:03Who you were before.
00:59:09You...
00:59:10really...
00:59:11aren't allowed to have feelings about that.
00:59:14Like...
00:59:16at all.
00:59:19So fucked, Eleanor!
00:59:24I miss you.
00:59:27I just feel so distant from you now.
00:59:31It's not because I'm trans.
00:59:33It's really not.
00:59:38I don't know.
00:59:39I don't know.
00:59:39What?
00:59:41I shouldn't be here.
00:59:42I shouldn't be in the fucking...
00:59:44tick-infested...
00:59:46Blair Witch Woods fighting with you.
00:59:50Thank God.
00:59:51The house.
00:59:53Are you sure?
00:59:54Yes, I'm sure.
00:59:55Just tell me you didn't lose the car keys.
00:59:58I didn't.
01:00:05Leo.
01:00:06Leo.
01:00:08I love you.
01:00:11No, you don't, Eleanor.
01:00:15Kind of ironic, I guess.
01:00:18Seeing as it was me keeping secrets all those years being in love with you.
01:00:23And you pretending you didn't know.
01:00:26Although, I mean...
01:00:28You knew.
01:00:29You must have known.
01:00:31I didn't...
01:00:33No.
01:00:36I mean, I didn't know...
01:00:37No.
01:00:40You liked having me around as your little lap dog and...
01:00:46I'm done.
01:00:48I am done.
01:00:52That's so unfair.
01:00:53Is it...
01:01:00Can you...
01:01:34I mean it.
01:01:36You have family in me.
01:01:40Fuck.
01:01:55You okay?
01:01:57Yeah.
01:01:58Just...
01:01:59Clumsy.
01:02:04Let me help.
01:02:15It's her last night.
01:02:18It is.
01:02:24You shouldn't be drinking long.
01:02:36I heard you.
01:02:39Hm?
01:02:40Like, I heard you.
01:02:41I was fucked up.
01:02:45But 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.
01:03:05And...
01:03:06And I feel like...
01:03:09You haven't been acting that way.
01:03:12Or something.
01:03:15Or like you were my best friend.
01:03:17And now you're just...
01:03:20Someone else.
01:03:23I don't know.
01:03:27I'm still...
01:03:28I'm still me, Eleanor.
01:03:31Definitely...
01:03:32Still me.
01:03:34That's good.
01:03:36Maybe it's just...
01:03:40I wish I weren't...
01:03:42Still me.
01:03:44Maybe if you just...
01:03:47Accepted you a little more, it would help.
01:03:49I mean...
01:03:51I always liked you as...
01:03:54You are.
01:03:56Just...
01:03:56It's like...
01:03:58When you're not happy being you that you become a little bit...
01:04:02Too much of you or something.
01:04:05Yeah.
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.
01:04:32Eleanor.
01:04:34I think you're...
01:04:35Confused.
01:04:40I am...
01:04:42Confused...
01:04:44By you.
01:04:45You.
01:04:49Okay.
01:04:50You are...
01:04:52Something.
01:05:25The police.
01:05:30I'm so sorry.
01:05:30You too, you're so sorry.
01:05:39You got it.
01:05:44You got it.
01:05:45You got it.
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 hands crammed.
01:07:30Oh, um, that should be.
01:07:32Maybe if, um...
01:07:34Yeah.
01:07:37Yeah.
01:07:48Yeah.
01:08:14Did you just fake it?
01:08:18No.
01:08:22Yes.
01:08:24Okay.
01:08:34I guess I should probably go.
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:49Eleanor.
01:08:58Oh, God, Leo.
01:09:01I'm so sorry.
01:09:03It was so horrifying.
01:09:07Have you ever had worse sex?
01:09:09No, 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.
01:09:37Yeah.
01:09:37We run out of popcorn.
01:09:47So I didn't ruin everything.
01:09:51No.
01:09:56I 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 wanna 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.
01:10:55You'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.
01:11:15I'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.
01:11:38Pay shit.
01:11:40Yeah.
01:11:41It's exhausting.
01:11:43The principal's a scumbag.
01:11:46That sucks.
01:11:47When I mentioned the pay shit.
01:11:49You did.
01:11:54I'm so sorry for blowing everything up.
01:11:58I'm sorry too.
01:12:04Why do you care so much?
01:12:11Because...
01:12:13Because...
01:12:13Because...
01:12:14Because you're my family, right?
01:12:16Right?
01:12:18Family.
01:12:22I don't have any family.
01:12:26I mean it.
01:12:29You have family in me.
01:12:32You have family in me.
01:12:33Just cause...
01:12:34You 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.
01:12:51Whether you like it or not, we're irrevocably connected.
01:12:55Ever since that day at the crash pad.
01:12:57We've been linked.
01:13:00You're not perfect.
01:13:02You're not perfect.
01:13:04Neither am I.
01:13:06But...
01:13:08We're perfect in our imperfection.
01:13:12Two warped puzzle pieces that...
01:13:16managed to fit just right.
01:13:18Right?
01:13:21You fit me.
01:13:24And I fit you.
01:13:27So...
01:13:29Yeah, Aria.
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.
01:16:44There's not much I could say
01:16:48A lot of things have changed
01:16:52It isn't quite the same
01:16:58I thought about you every night and day
01:17:04Now talking's pretty strange
01:17:08We're on a different page
01:17:13It's healthier this way
01:17:17But when I look at you
01:17:20I see an old friend
01:17:22I see an old friend passing through
01:17:26And when I think of you
01:17:29I wanna be friends
01:17:30I wanna be friends with you
01:17:37With you
01:17:39We're on a different page
01:18:02We're on a different page
01:18:04We're on a different page
01:18:04And 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
01:18:48Tears fall
01:18:51And when I think of you
01:18:54I wanna be friends
01:18:55I wanna be friends with you
01:18:59But when I look at you
01:19:02I see an old friend
01:19:04I see an old friend passing through
01:19:07And when I think of you
01:19:11I wanna be friends
01:19:12I wanna be friends
01:19:15I wanna be friends
01:19:17I wanna be friends
01:19:23I wanna be friends
01:19:47I wanna be friends
