Short filmTranscript
00:00:22Tell me what you see, is this better or this?
00:00:29Number one or number two?
00:00:32Number two.
00:00:34Good.
00:00:36Read the bottom line for me.
00:00:39N-V-T-S-L-Q.
00:00:43Excellent.
00:00:44Now the right eye.
00:00:47Can you read that?
00:00:49Nope.
00:00:51Anything?
00:00:52Nope.
00:00:54How about this?
00:00:58Is that a K?
00:01:06And here?
00:01:10T?
00:01:11And this one?
00:01:18F.
00:01:24You have amblyopia.
00:01:26Yeah.
00:01:27You didn't indicate it on your medical history form.
00:01:30Well, I didn't want to brag.
00:01:32When did you first notice a problem?
00:01:35When I was five, my grandmother noticed my right eye was drifting.
00:01:38I'm sorry.
00:01:39I mean the more recent problem.
00:01:41Oh.
00:01:42About a couple weeks ago.
00:01:44I was working on my laptop and everything went soft.
00:01:47left.
00:01:47Was it up close or distance to?
00:02:01Dean?
00:02:05Oh, I'm sorry.
00:02:06When everything went soft.
00:02:08Was it distance or up close or both?
00:02:11Uh, both.
00:02:13Okay.
00:02:13The good news is your right eye, the amblyopic one, hasn't changed.
00:02:18You have some vision there.
00:02:19But there has been a change in your good eye.
00:02:22Do you sit in front of a computer all day?
00:02:24Wow.
00:02:26You make it sound so exciting.
00:02:28What do you do?
00:02:30I'm a graphic designer.
00:02:33Is it serious?
00:02:34Should I be worried?
00:02:35No.
00:02:36But I do think it's time for you to move to progressive lenses.
00:02:39You mean bifocals?
00:02:42More like trifocals.
00:02:44But don't worry.
00:02:45It's perfectly normal for people to experience a dramatic change in vision around middle age.
00:02:58Are they horrible?
00:03:00They're awesome.
00:03:01You think?
00:03:01Yeah.
00:03:02They don't make me look like I'm trying too hard?
00:03:04Please.
00:03:05You live in Silver Lake.
00:03:06I don't get it.
00:03:07The top part is distance.
00:03:08The bottom is close up.
00:03:09But the middle is this weird limbo place where nothing is in focus.
00:03:14You gotta point your nose.
00:03:15What?
00:03:15Turn around.
00:03:16Turn.
00:03:16My doctor said you have to point your nose at the thing you're trying to see.
00:03:20Point my nose?
00:03:21Yeah.
00:03:22Try it.
00:03:22Towards the thing.
00:03:26Towards the thing.
00:03:27Towards the thing.
00:03:27Towards the thing.
00:03:27I am.
00:03:28Okay.
00:03:28Now you're looking down.
00:03:29I'm looking.
00:03:31Okay.
00:03:32It's alright.
00:03:33You're gonna get used to it.
00:03:34I think I'm going blind.
00:03:36Well.
00:03:36Both know what caused that.
00:03:38I think.
00:03:39Yeah.
00:03:39Well.
00:03:40You ain't kidding.
00:03:41Anyway.
00:03:42I don't want to throw the baby on the fire or whatever the expression is.
00:03:47I don't know.
00:03:48Anyway.
00:03:48Pearson called.
00:03:49And?
00:03:49Remember when he wanted.
00:03:52Graphic.
00:03:52Minimalist.
00:03:53Simple.
00:03:54Yeah.
00:03:54What we gave him.
00:03:55Uh.
00:03:56He doesn't want that anymore.
00:03:58What does he want?
00:04:00You're not gonna love it.
00:04:02Not three heads in the sky.
00:04:04It is not three heads in the sky.
00:04:06It is not.
00:04:07Oh.
00:04:07Thank God.
00:04:09Two heads in the sky?
00:04:11No.
00:04:12We did two heads in the sky.
00:04:13Like six versions ago.
00:04:15No.
00:04:16We did three heads in the sky.
00:04:18Oh.
00:04:18Jesus.
00:04:19And now they want two.
00:04:20Heads.
00:04:21In the sky.
00:04:22Floating over a generic landscape that's probably not even in the movie.
00:04:26I know.
00:04:27Oh.
00:04:28Me.
00:04:28Well.
00:04:29Tried that in college.
00:04:30It was not very satisfying for either of us.
00:04:33Oh.
00:04:35Mel.
00:04:35Why do they make us go through so many rounds if they just want something safe?
00:04:39I don't know sweetheart.
00:04:41But they do.
00:04:42And they're a good client.
00:04:44And they keep our lights on.
00:04:45And what should I tell them?
00:04:50Tell him that the other design was better.
00:04:54Tell him that nobody goes to see a movie because of the one sheet.
00:04:57Ever.
00:04:57In fact.
00:04:58You can tell him that in the list of reasons that people go see movies.
00:05:03The one sheet is at the very bottom.
00:05:05So why not do something good.
00:05:06For once.
00:05:07Something that will outlive his shitty movie.
00:05:13What is up?
00:05:17What?
00:05:18He's just been around here for the last two weeks in this weird, funky state.
00:05:23Talk to me.
00:05:26Yeah.
00:05:27No.
00:05:27I know.
00:05:28I know.
00:05:29I know.
00:05:29I just...
00:05:33I...
00:05:34I gotta...
00:05:41I just think I need to take a couple days off.
00:05:44Oh, yeah.
00:05:44I think I'm gonna drive out to...
00:05:57Oh.
00:05:58Sorry.
00:05:58It's fine.
00:05:59It's fine.
00:05:59It's fine.
00:06:00I know when I'm not wanted.
00:06:01That's great.
00:06:02No problem.
00:06:07I don't know.
00:06:09I don't know.
00:06:15The other heads have better agents.
00:06:18Point your nose.
00:06:24What?
00:06:39There's...
00:06:39All right.
00:06:39Let's try, Kristen.
00:06:41Let's go.
00:06:42James.
00:06:42Come on, James.
00:06:43I gots Camino.
00:06:52She's going to be a big fan of her family.
00:06:59I'm so happy.
00:07:02You don't have to be shy of me.
00:07:04I'm so happy.
00:07:05I'm so happy.
00:07:06I'm so happy.
00:07:07I'm so happy.
00:07:08and
00:07:17Oh
00:07:39Oh
00:08:25Dear Dean, I hope you're the Dean I'm looking for.
00:08:30If you are, and you remember me, you're probably wondering why I'm writing after all these years.
00:08:37Truth is, I'm wondering the same thing.
00:08:40All I know is, this morning I woke up listening to National Public Radio, like I do every morning,
00:08:46and as I was lying there in bed, I thought to myself, why do I even listen to NPR?
00:08:52And that's what I remembered.
00:08:54You.
00:08:56You turned me on to National Public Radio, 15 years ago, summer, New York City.
00:09:04You turned me on to a lot of things that summer.
00:09:07So, I woke up thinking about you, and wondering how you are, and where you are,
00:09:13and a quick internet search led me to your website.
00:09:16You seem to be doing very well for yourself.
00:09:19Though I was surprised to find you in Los Angeles.
00:09:22I remember how much you love New York City.
00:09:26Anyway, I hope you're well.
00:09:29I'd love to hear from you.
00:09:31Yours, Alex Gafina.
00:09:37I'm Alex Gafina.
00:09:58I'm Alex Gafina.
00:10:06What a nice surprise.
00:10:09Of course I remember you.
00:10:11I'm flattered to be associated with National Public Radio,
00:10:14though, since moving to L.A., I hardly ever listen anymore.
00:10:18I miss New York sometimes.
00:10:20But the truth is, I love L.A.
00:10:23Try not to judge me too much.
00:10:24What can I say?
00:10:26It's nice to wake up and pick lemons from a tree in my own backyard.
00:10:32Tell me about your life.
00:10:35Dean.
00:10:55You know, judgment's here.
00:10:56I used to believe if I could find the perfect city, all my problems would disappear.
00:11:01But I've since learned, you take your problems with you.
00:11:05Currently, they're all in New Orleans.
00:11:07I've been here for about six months.
00:11:10I feel like I've been chasing my bliss for the last 15 years.
00:11:14I've never found it in a job or a relationship.
00:11:18Maybe it's in Los Angeles.
00:11:34I don't know if your bliss can be found in Los Angeles,
00:11:37but I have a little house in the desert near Joshua Tree
00:11:40that's as close as I've ever come to finding mine.
00:11:43It's small and quiet and has great views.
00:11:49Every time I'm there, I feel like I press this big internal reset button.
00:11:55Have you ever seen the Mojave?
00:11:58It's spectacular.
00:12:07I've been to the Gobi in East Asia and the Patagonian in South America,
00:12:11but I've never laid eyes on the Mojave.
00:12:14I'd love to see it.
00:12:16Now, any good tour guides?
00:12:46I've never seen the Mojave.
00:13:05I don't know.
00:13:44I don't know.
00:13:58I don't know.
00:14:06I don't know.
00:14:15I don't know.
00:14:20I don't know.
00:14:24I don't know.
00:14:42I don't know.
00:14:48I don't know.
00:15:02I don't know.
00:15:07I don't know.
00:15:35I don't know.
00:15:38I don't know.
00:15:46I don't know.
00:15:47I don't know.
00:15:49I don't know.
00:15:49I don't know.
00:15:50I don't know.
00:15:51I don't know.
00:15:52I don't know.
00:15:52I don't know.
00:15:52I don't know.
00:15:53I don't know.
00:15:54I don't know.
00:15:55I don't know.
00:15:56I don't know.
00:15:57I don't know.
00:16:14I don't know.
00:16:22I don't know.
00:16:24I don't know.
00:16:26I don't know.
00:16:40I can't believe this.
00:16:49I don't know.
00:16:50I don't know.
00:16:57I don't know.
00:16:58I don't know.
00:16:59I don't know.
00:16:59I don't know.
00:17:02I don't know.
00:17:03I don't know.
00:17:05I don't know.
00:17:07I don't know.
00:17:12I don't know.
00:17:13I don't know.
00:17:27Hey.
00:17:31Oh my god.
00:17:35You made it.
00:17:37Yeah.
00:17:38I was worried.
00:17:41I left you a message.
00:17:42Yeah, there's no reception out here.
00:17:47Hi.
00:17:58You look great.
00:18:01You too.
00:18:06Wow.
00:18:13You too.
00:18:22Yeah, there's no room.
00:18:27You can't.
00:18:35OK, you're listening to Aubrey Neumann is my friend Steven Garnett...
00:19:19How long have you been in here?
00:19:26Three hours.
00:19:27Jesus.
00:19:30Jesus will lose track out here.
00:19:32Yeah, no kidding.
00:19:36I didn't plan for this to happen.
00:19:39For what?
00:19:42This.
00:19:43That never crossed your mind?
00:19:45It crossed my mind.
00:19:47You?
00:19:49Definitely.
00:19:51I almost had to rub one out on the plane.
00:19:54Have you ever done that?
00:19:56On a plane?
00:19:57Sure.
00:19:59I can't imagine.
00:20:02I just think that the plane's going to crash and they're going to find my body in the wreckage
00:20:06with my dick in my hand and my pants around my ankles.
00:20:10And what would my family say?
00:20:13He died as he lived.
00:20:15So that's what you think of me?
00:20:17Totally.
00:20:19I'm just a horndog?
00:20:21You are the most sexual person I ever dated.
00:20:25Whoa.
00:20:26By far.
00:20:28What does it even mean, most sexual?
00:20:30As I recall, a disproportionate amount of our time was spent naked in your bed.
00:20:36No, that's because I didn't have an EAC in that apartment.
00:20:38Oh, gosh.
00:20:40Man, I'm sorry.
00:20:41No, it had nothing to do with your raging libido.
00:20:45Okay, fine.
00:20:47I am a total horndog.
00:20:49Yeah.
00:20:50I've been thinking about having sex with you since I got your email.
00:20:55Let's see.
00:20:56I got hard reading your email.
00:20:59I got hard anticipating your next email.
00:21:02Well, I rest my case.
00:21:04I had to beat off last night, hoping to prevent this from happening.
00:21:09Okay.
00:21:13Any regrets?
00:21:16No.
00:21:19You?
00:21:23Not yet.
00:21:26Wait.
00:21:26Why would you try to prevent this from happening?
00:21:30This is fun.
00:21:32Have you really done that on a plane?
00:21:34Don't judge me.
00:21:36I mean, come on.
00:21:37Whatever happened to delayed gratification, guy?
00:21:39Well, you apparently have never flown to Australia before.
00:21:44Actually, I have.
00:21:46Really?
00:21:47Wait, why'd you go to Australia?
00:21:51Vacation.
00:21:57I'm thirsty.
00:21:59You want some water?
00:22:02Yes, please.
00:22:10Did you fly to Melbourne?
00:22:13Ugh, I love Melbourne.
00:22:15Did you see the Twelve Apostles?
00:22:18Um, yeah.
00:22:20You know, I was thinking maybe tomorrow we can go into town.
00:22:24Maybe take a hike or something.
00:22:26I want to show you some of the sights.
00:22:29That sounds fun.
00:22:33Oh, fancy.
00:22:35What, the lemons?
00:22:37The lemons.
00:22:39The sheets.
00:22:40This house.
00:22:41Palm Springs is fancy.
00:22:42Joshua trees for the regular people.
00:22:45Yeah, I don't think regular people have second homes.
00:22:48Especially ones with pools.
00:22:50It's an investment property.
00:22:52Who are you?
00:22:53What?
00:22:54What'd you do with my little Marxist punk I picked up 15 years ago at a dive bar?
00:22:59Okay, there are two things wrong with that statement.
00:23:01First of all, I was never a Marxist.
00:23:02Oh, whatever.
00:23:04I was a democratic socialist.
00:23:05Okay, and more importantly, I picked you up.
00:23:08Oh, no.
00:23:11Absolutely.
00:23:12Okay, you are crazy, and I can prove it.
00:23:14You're gonna need to.
00:23:16Where's my bag?
00:23:18Oh, my God.
00:23:24Oh, God.
00:23:25It's freezing.
00:23:29Okay, little bar.
00:23:317th Street and 2nd Avenue.
00:23:33Kyle Bar.
00:23:34Yeah, it's not what it was called, but sure.
00:23:36We all called it Tile Bar.
00:23:37Well, it was my graduation night.
00:23:39I was sitting on one end of the bar.
00:23:41You were on the other.
00:23:48What's this?
00:23:51Proof.
00:23:57Kept it.
00:24:00The bartender brought it over to me.
00:24:03Then, I went.
00:24:04And sat down next to you.
00:24:06So, I did the picking up.
00:24:09Well, I think the person who did the drawing is the one who did the picking up.
00:24:13And that was me.
00:24:14No, that was the one who did the drawing.
00:24:16The one who actually had the balls to get up off his ass,
00:24:19cross the bar, sit down next to you, and speak.
00:24:22Did the picking up.
00:24:27Well, I'm stunned.
00:24:30I can't believe you kept it.
00:24:35Well, it was a nice summer.
00:24:40Can I keep it?
00:24:42No way.
00:24:43Come on.
00:24:45You've had it all these years.
00:24:46It's my turn.
00:24:48Fine.
00:24:50Consider it on loan.
00:24:53You hungry?
00:24:55Starved.
00:24:57I'm going to make a salad.
00:24:59Well, I'm going to take a shower.
00:25:00How do you feel about onions?
00:25:02I'm not scared.
00:25:05Oh.
00:25:06Don't remember you smoking.
00:25:08I don't smoke.
00:25:09Well, not tobacco, anyway.
00:25:11Who's with these?
00:25:13Oh.
00:25:15Someone must have left those here.
00:25:17Oh.
00:25:18I love smoking.
00:25:20Well, help yourself.
00:25:21Just do it outside.
00:25:24I quit.
00:25:26I don't remember you smoking, either.
00:25:29It was after us.
00:25:39You know, most of my clients want something safe.
00:25:42They want something traditional.
00:25:43Two heads in the sky, something like that.
00:25:45Wait, what's two heads in the sky?
00:25:47Well, you know, you've seen it before.
00:25:49Big faces of the movie stars over a landscape.
00:25:53It's just so boring.
00:25:55Okay, but aren't those movies usually boring?
00:25:58Yes, but the poster doesn't have to be.
00:26:00Oh.
00:26:01I tell my clients,
00:26:02if we can distill the movie down to its essence
00:26:05and tell the story in a single image,
00:26:08then people actually have to engage with the poster.
00:26:11They have to interact with it.
00:26:12And, hey, maybe it'll make them want to go see the movie more,
00:26:15you know?
00:26:16Well, what does a client say?
00:26:18They say, great.
00:26:19Now let's put two heads in the sky.
00:26:21Which I do because I'm a tool.
00:26:23I know I shouldn't care about this.
00:26:25It's just a stupid poster.
00:26:26But, you know, still, it's...
00:26:28No, that's great.
00:26:29That is the guy that I remember.
00:26:31What, crazy?
00:26:33No.
00:26:34Passionate.
00:26:35Do you remember our first actual date?
00:26:38You took me to see this awful movie downtown.
00:26:43Awful?
00:26:43Yeah, I was at some artsy theater on Houston
00:26:46about, um, this young boy who falls in love with an old lady.
00:26:50Okay, you don't mean Harold and Maude.
00:26:52Yes.
00:26:53Oh, my God.
00:26:54That film.
00:26:55I just remember thinking to myself,
00:26:57why is this guy taking me to see this?
00:27:00Okay, stop talking, please.
00:27:01No, I mean, it was just, it was so sad
00:27:03and weird and pretentious.
00:27:06I am holding a knife here.
00:27:07And then the Cat Stevens music?
00:27:09Seriously?
00:27:10Stop.
00:27:11Harold and Maude is my favorite movie of all time.
00:27:17Are you kidding?
00:27:19You better be kidding.
00:27:20Are you kidding?
00:27:21Yeah, no, I'm kidding.
00:27:25I mean, you don't really feel that way about that movie, do you?
00:27:28No.
00:27:29But I did not understand that movie for the life of me.
00:27:32Well, that night you told me you loved it.
00:27:34I lied.
00:27:34Why?
00:27:35Because I wanted to impress you.
00:27:38Which is why I went back the next week and I saw it again.
00:27:41You did not.
00:27:42Yeah, I did.
00:27:43I wanted to figure out why you liked it so much.
00:27:46I thought it was going to help me understand you better.
00:27:54Okay, you can stay.
00:27:59You know that interesting thing about Harold and Maude?
00:28:03It's always different.
00:28:05You know, when I was in my 20s, I really identified with Harold.
00:28:08All this angst and depression and self-involvement.
00:28:14And now as I've gotten older, I kind of feel a little bit more like Maude.
00:28:21Isn't that crazy how a movie changes?
00:28:26Actually, the movie stays the same.
00:28:29True.
00:28:31I guess we're the ones who change.
00:28:33We don't actually change that much, do we?
00:28:38Well, I mean, you have.
00:28:40You definitely have.
00:28:46So how have I changed?
00:28:51I guess I always imagined you in your paint-spattered boots with your palette and your brushes standing behind an
00:29:00easel.
00:29:03I just never imagined you, uh...
00:29:05What?
00:29:08I always thought that you were going to be an artist.
00:29:12Oh, I am an artist.
00:29:14You're a graphic designer.
00:29:16A graphic designer is an artist.
00:29:19Just one who can pay the bills.
00:29:21Okay, no, no.
00:29:22That's not what I mean.
00:29:23I like my work.
00:29:24That's good.
00:29:24Or I did until about a minute ago.
00:29:26Okay, you were the one who was just complaining about the two heads in the sky.
00:29:30That's all I'm saying.
00:29:31Yeah, well, it beats living in a studio apartment with a bathtub in the kitchen.
00:29:34But I like that apartment.
00:29:36Yeah, well, you didn't have to live in it.
00:29:39Okay, I didn't mean to...
00:29:42The most important thing is that you're happy.
00:29:56So, why New Orleans?
00:29:58Did you go there for work, or...?
00:30:00Oh, no, I'm not really working right now.
00:30:04Wow, must be nice.
00:30:06It's actually amazing.
00:30:08How'd you manage that?
00:30:10I have money.
00:30:15Must be a lot.
00:30:17It's enough.
00:30:23I always imagined you...
00:30:26In...
00:30:27A suit and tie...
00:30:29Working in some high-rise somewhere.
00:30:32Oh, yeah, no, I did that.
00:30:34Until all I could think about was jumping.
00:30:38Okay, well...
00:30:39What I want to know is...
00:30:41Why you were so hard to find...
00:30:44What does that mean?
00:30:45On the Internet.
00:30:47See, I don't know which is more strange.
00:30:49The fact that I'm not on the Internet,
00:30:50or the fact that everybody is so freaked out that I'm not.
00:30:53Oh, no, I'm not freaked out.
00:30:55I'm just...
00:30:57Curious how it's possible.
00:30:59Well...
00:31:01I blame you.
00:31:02Me?
00:31:03Yeah, you were always going off on these little Marxist rants.
00:31:06Democratic Socialist.
00:31:07Whatever the f*** you were.
00:31:08Yeah, it was this freakish paranoia,
00:31:12marching in the streets about the government spying on people.
00:31:15That is not why we were marching.
00:31:17This vast right-wing conspiracy?
00:31:18That is true.
00:31:19It exists.
00:31:21Well, you are the reason for my faint cyber footprint.
00:31:24It's not faint.
00:31:27It's invisible.
00:31:29I mean, you are nowhere.
00:31:30No photos.
00:31:31No job history.
00:31:33I mean, you're not even on LinkedIn,
00:31:34which no one wants to be on anyway,
00:31:36but somehow everyone ends up there.
00:31:39Aren't you impressed?
00:31:49So you looked for me, too?
00:31:57I probably Googled your name and Campbell, Ohio
00:32:00about a thousand times.
00:32:02What, Campbell?
00:32:03That's where you're from, right?
00:32:04Yeah, I just can't believe that you remember that.
00:32:10I looked in New York
00:32:12and every other major city.
00:32:15I thought maybe if I contacted your family,
00:32:17they'd tell me where you were.
00:32:18Well, that's sweet.
00:32:19Also useless,
00:32:21seeing as how my family would never have given
00:32:23any personal information unless you asked in Greek.
00:32:27Well, it's not sweet.
00:32:30You disappeared.
00:32:34I did not disappear.
00:32:36From my perspective, you did.
00:32:40No call, no note, nothing.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46Do you have any idea how long I searched for you, Alex?
00:32:51I called the police.
00:32:53I called hospitals.
00:32:55Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:32:55What?
00:32:56I called the morgue, Alex.
00:33:03Well, I had no idea.
00:33:0815 years.
00:33:11It's a long time.
00:33:14Why does it feel like it just happened yesterday?
00:33:21I got to piss.
00:33:28Fuck.
00:33:49I'm sorry.
00:33:51Oh, my God.
00:34:40It's good.
00:34:45I got a card when I moved to L.A.
00:34:48I told the doctor I had panic attacks.
00:34:51The minute I said 9-11, he was writing a prescription.
00:34:56Nice.
00:34:58Wasn't an excuse.
00:35:01A couple of weeks after the attacks, I was at work having lunch in the break room and reading
00:35:07this magazine about all the people that were in the planes that went into the towers.
00:35:11And there were these two guys who were coming back from Russia or something with a baby
00:35:17that they had just adopted.
00:35:18And I walked into my office and I shut the door and I stood against the wall and I just
00:35:25started sobbing.
00:35:27And I couldn't move.
00:35:30I knew that I had to call somebody to ask for help, but I literally couldn't walk across
00:35:38the room to pick up the phone on my desk.
00:35:41I was paralyzed.
00:35:44What did you do?
00:35:49I eventually figured out how to walk.
00:35:53I picked up the phone on my desk and I called my best friend.
00:35:58But I remember thinking, Alex could have been in those towers.
00:36:05I read all the lists and I didn't see your name, so I just assumed that you were okay.
00:36:12I'm really sorry.
00:36:15Hey, I got prescription weed out of it.
00:36:18No, I mean about disappearing.
00:36:21Yeah, why did you?
00:36:24Well, I hated New York.
00:36:26I didn't know that.
00:36:27That's funny because I talked about it all the time.
00:36:33I don't remember that.
00:36:35That's because you loved it.
00:36:39I did.
00:36:49What is that?
00:36:51Coyotes.
00:36:55They're signaling that the pack is all together again and everyone's safe.
00:37:01It's so mournful.
00:37:03Do you know that coyotes only mate once a year?
00:37:07I don't know.
00:37:08Why do they sound so sad?
00:37:10You ever see one up close?
00:37:12Coyotes?
00:37:12Yeah.
00:37:14They're all over L.A.
00:37:17The drought forced them out of the hills.
00:37:18Now they just walk around like they own the town.
00:37:21Looking for water.
00:37:22Water.
00:37:24Water's important.
00:37:26Mm-hmm.
00:37:30Do you like water?
00:37:39That's for disappearing.
00:37:41Shit.
00:37:44Oh, shit.
00:37:46I had no idea.
00:37:47I swear.
00:37:48I am so sorry.
00:37:50Just take care of it.
00:37:52Get me out of here.
00:37:52It's cold.
00:37:53No!
00:37:54No!
00:37:55No!
00:37:57Oh!
00:37:58Asshole!
00:37:59You!
00:38:00Now we are even.
00:38:02You!
00:38:02Oh, my God!
00:38:03It is so cold in here.
00:38:05Oh, I hate you so much.
00:38:15Mm.
00:38:23Salty.
00:38:27It's a salt water pool.
00:38:30Wait, why salt water?
00:38:32You don't need chlorine if you use salt water.
00:38:35God, you're such a hippie.
00:38:40Next time, please spring for a heated pool.
00:38:44We can't afford a heated pool.
00:38:46No.
00:38:47I hate it.
00:38:48I what?
00:38:50Do you know how much it costs the heated pool?
00:38:52No, no, no, no, wait, wait.
00:38:54Wait, who's we?
00:38:57What?
00:38:59You just...
00:39:01You just said,
00:39:03we can't afford it.
00:39:04Who's we?
00:39:05No, I didn't.
00:39:06Yeah, you did.
00:39:07Who's we?
00:39:15Dean?
00:39:21Who the fuck is we?
00:39:27We is me.
00:39:31And Brian.
00:39:34Um...
00:39:35Alright.
00:39:36Who's Brian?
00:39:39My husband.
00:39:43So you're married?
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:48Does he know that you're here?
00:39:50Yes.
00:39:51Does he know that I'm here?
00:39:53No.
00:39:54Okay.
00:39:56So you guys have some sort of understanding?
00:40:00Not exactly.
00:40:02So you're cheating?
00:40:04No.
00:40:05No.
00:40:06I mean, Brian and I...
00:40:09We're not together.
00:40:11You guys are separated?
00:40:13Yeah.
00:40:15I mean, he's in Australia.
00:40:16I'm here.
00:40:17Yeah.
00:40:18No, I don't mean geographically.
00:40:21It's complicated.
00:40:23Okay.
00:40:24I'm about to make things a lot less complicated.
00:40:29Alex.
00:40:32Alex.
00:40:37Alex, I can explain.
00:40:39Give me your best shot.
00:40:40I was gonna tell you.
00:40:42When?
00:40:43As soon as we started emailing.
00:40:46But...
00:40:48But what?
00:40:49I wanted to, but you didn't ask.
00:40:53That's your excuse?
00:40:54I didn't ask if you were married?
00:40:55Well, you didn't.
00:40:57Yeah, and I didn't ask you either.
00:40:59I mean, for all I know, you could be married too.
00:41:02Well, I'm not.
00:41:04Okay.
00:41:05Well, now I know.
00:41:07Look, can we just stop...
00:41:09And talk about this?
00:41:11Talk about what?
00:41:12This.
00:41:14Us.
00:41:15Yeah, there is no us.
00:41:16There's me, and there's you, and then there's you, and...
00:41:19What's his name?
00:41:20Brian.
00:41:21Brian.
00:41:22Alex!
00:41:26Hey!
00:41:28Alex, come on!
00:41:30Seriously?
00:41:31Alex!
00:41:33Don't do this!
00:41:34Alex!
00:41:35Don't do this!
00:41:54We're S experi-
00:41:58Hey, look down!
00:42:06Work women way along
00:42:07It's great!
00:42:08It's amazing!
00:42:09We're gonna clean these up!
00:42:25Would you like a kiss?
00:42:59Is that supposed to be me?
00:43:03Everyone's a critic, huh?
00:43:05No, I think you made some improvements, actually.
00:43:10I don't think that's possible.
00:43:14Hey, I really like your gown.
00:43:17Oh, this whole thing?
00:43:19I only wear it when I don't care how I look.
00:43:23It's a wonderful life.
00:43:24You know it.
00:43:26Yeah, everyone knows it.
00:43:30You guys in a choir or something?
00:43:32No, I graduated this afternoon.
00:43:36What's your major?
00:43:37I got my MBA.
00:43:40Business?
00:43:41Mm-hmm.
00:43:41What kind?
00:43:43Risky?
00:43:44Monkey.
00:43:45Ha-ha.
00:43:49Alex.
00:43:52Dean.
00:44:07Do you want to get out of here?
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Where do you live?
00:44:10Around the corner.
00:44:11Here we go.
00:44:21Right after you.
00:44:23No, my wife.
00:44:24I'm coming!
00:44:24I'm coming!
00:44:25I don't know what you're expecting.
00:44:26You shit!58
00:44:27You're empty, you're a scary spirit.
00:44:31You're flying by.
00:45:57You came back.
00:45:59It's my favorite shirt.
00:46:03Why didn't you come in?
00:46:06I was enjoying the stars.
00:46:09I'm glad you came back.
00:46:15I lied.
00:46:16What?
00:46:18About why I left New York.
00:46:21I met someone.
00:46:23I don't understand.
00:46:24At the end of the summer, I lied.
00:46:27I met someone else.
00:46:28While we were together?
00:46:31We're an exclusive.
00:46:32I was.
00:46:34You even met him once.
00:46:35What?
00:46:36When?
00:46:37In Central Park.
00:46:39I was playing in a softball game.
00:46:41You showed up.
00:46:43You wanted to surprise me.
00:46:45You were there.
00:46:47He was there.
00:46:50You even shook hands with him.
00:46:54You thought he was one of my friends.
00:46:57He thought the same thing.
00:47:03So, I left New York and I moved to Miami.
00:47:07To be with him?
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:13Why are you telling me this?
00:47:18Just trying to be honest.
00:47:20You asked why I disappeared.
00:47:23That's why.
00:47:26You still want me to stay?
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:35Good.
00:47:37You owe me a phone.
00:47:43Hey.
00:47:44They love the revisions.
00:47:46Of course they did.
00:47:47They're idiots.
00:47:48And also, they're changing the title of the film.
00:47:51Why?
00:47:52I don't know.
00:47:53I guess now they think nobody will see a movie called Portmanteau.
00:47:56Well, yeah.
00:47:57That's what we said six months ago.
00:47:59See how smart we are?
00:48:00Wait.
00:48:01How am I even talking to you?
00:48:02You never have service there.
00:48:03I'm in town.
00:48:04What's the new title?
00:48:05Uh, a bag by the lake.
00:48:11Great.
00:48:13That's a joke.
00:48:14I'm joking.
00:48:15What's wrong?
00:48:16Uh, nothing.
00:48:16I gotta go.
00:48:18No, you sound weird.
00:48:19I'm fine.
00:48:20Do you want me to come out there?
00:48:22No.
00:48:22I can be there in two hours.
00:48:24No, definitely not.
00:48:25Okay.
00:48:26I got a date with a guy that does stand-up.
00:48:30Yeah?
00:48:31Does he do anything else?
00:48:32He better, right?
00:48:33Or someone's gonna get hurt.
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:36Well, bye.
00:48:38Find something?
00:48:40Yeah.
00:48:40Four bars.
00:48:42Yeah, well, we're in town.
00:48:50What should I call?
00:48:57Pick up.
00:49:00I'm driving.
00:49:01Well, then be careful.
00:49:03Ugh.
00:49:05Hello?
00:49:06Hey.
00:49:06Hey.
00:49:07Look, I'm driving.
00:49:09Can I call you back later?
00:49:09Oh, yeah.
00:49:10No, this is just gonna take a minute.
00:49:11I know you're super busy being married and everything.
00:49:13Just wanted to give you a little piece of friendly advice
00:49:15just in case the opportunity ever arises again.
00:49:18Next time you decide to cheat on your husband,
00:49:20just make sure you take your ring off pretty early on
00:49:22because if the guy's any good in bed,
00:49:24he's gonna notice the imprint on your finger.
00:49:42You knew.
00:49:44You knew.
00:49:45I suspected.
00:49:47Then what was that scene about last night?
00:49:51I hoped it wasn't true.
00:49:53Why didn't you say something?
00:49:57I guess I didn't really want to know.
00:50:00You do that a lot.
00:50:02Take your ring off.
00:50:03No, never.
00:50:05It was the first time, actually.
00:50:09Well, forgive me if I find that hard to believe.
00:50:14I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Brian.
00:50:17I should have.
00:50:19Yep.
00:50:20I was just afraid that if you knew I was married,
00:50:23you wouldn't come.
00:50:26You would have been right.
00:50:28Look,
00:50:30when I got your email,
00:50:31I thought,
00:50:32how dare he contact me after all these years?
00:50:35But I had to see you.
00:50:38I don't know why, but
00:50:42I needed to see you, too.
00:50:51Come on.
00:51:01It's like something out of Dr. Seuss.
00:51:03Yeah.
00:51:04Why do they call them Joshua trees?
00:51:06The Mormons.
00:51:08When they headed west,
00:51:09they saw these,
00:51:09and it reminded them of the prophet Joshua
00:51:11raising his hands up to God.
00:51:16Yeah, exactly.
00:51:18It's a cool story.
00:51:20You know the Mormons,
00:51:21they're full of them.
00:51:24So those cigarettes were Brian's?
00:51:27Yep.
00:51:30You should tell him to stop smoking.
00:51:33Well, he's not addicted,
00:51:34so I let it go.
00:51:36You don't mind?
00:51:37No, I hate it,
00:51:38but it's his body.
00:51:40Yeah, but he's your husband.
00:51:45Was it hard quitting?
00:51:47Nope.
00:51:50I mean,
00:51:50I watched my dad dying of lung cancer,
00:51:53so...
00:51:54I'm sorry.
00:51:55It's okay.
00:51:56It's okay.
00:51:57I guess it's also easier
00:51:58to run six miles
00:51:59and smoke a pack a day
00:52:00in your 20s
00:52:01than it is now.
00:52:02Yeah,
00:52:02everything's easier
00:52:03in your 20s.
00:52:05Well,
00:52:05not for me.
00:52:07You know,
00:52:08I woke up every morning
00:52:09in my 20s,
00:52:09doubled over in abdominal pain.
00:52:12The doctor said it was stress.
00:52:15The hell were you so stressed about?
00:52:18Everything.
00:52:19I didn't know that.
00:52:21Nobody did.
00:52:23And the most important thing
00:52:24that I learned in business school?
00:52:27Never show weakness.
00:52:29Jesus Christ.
00:52:32Yeah.
00:52:34The one thing that I
00:52:37needed to do,
00:52:39only thing that probably would have helped,
00:52:43is talking to someone.
00:52:48You know,
00:52:49if you want your husband
00:52:50to quit smoking,
00:52:52you need to tell him.
00:53:07So why Australia?
00:53:09He's there for work.
00:53:11What does Brian do?
00:53:13He's a director.
00:53:15Movies?
00:53:17Commercials mostly,
00:53:18but yeah,
00:53:19films too.
00:53:21Hmm.
00:53:21Oh,
00:53:22so you moved to L.A. for him?
00:53:24No,
00:53:25most of my clients are in L.A.
00:53:27We moved there for my work.
00:53:30Hmm.
00:53:32I don't know if I could do that.
00:53:33If I ever married someone,
00:53:36I'd have to be with him.
00:53:39Well,
00:53:40it's not that simple.
00:53:43You know,
00:53:43when you work in film,
00:53:44you got to go where the work is,
00:53:45and sometimes that means weeks
00:53:46or even months apart.
00:53:49You okay with that?
00:53:52Well,
00:53:52I knew what I was getting into
00:53:53when I signed up.
00:53:55Well,
00:53:55it's not the military.
00:53:59You know,
00:53:59I think it's good to be alone sometimes.
00:54:01I think more people should try it.
00:54:04I like missing someone.
00:54:07You know,
00:54:07it feels good to be
00:54:09on your own,
00:54:10and
00:54:12you know,
00:54:14spend some time with yourself
00:54:16and be productive
00:54:17and then come back together again,
00:54:19you know?
00:54:21Wait,
00:54:21who are you trying to convince?
00:54:24No,
00:54:25I'm just saying,
00:54:25it's not all bad.
00:54:29Should put that on a greeting card.
00:54:55Do you see the house from here?
00:54:56I can't see anything these days.
00:54:59Oh,
00:55:02this is amazing!
00:55:13This looks like a movie set.
00:55:15It was a movie set.
00:55:18Which movies?
00:55:20Cisco Kids,
00:55:21the only one I know of.
00:55:24Boley Alley used to be open.
00:55:28You and Brian never think about having kids.
00:55:30No.
00:55:32You?
00:55:33Definitely.
00:55:34Yeah?
00:55:36I think,
00:55:37like,
00:55:37the real sign of adulthood
00:55:39is having to care about something other than yourself.
00:55:42You know,
00:55:42putting somebody else's needs above your own.
00:55:46Well,
00:55:47by that definition,
00:55:48people who never have kids
00:55:49don't grow up at all.
00:55:52Well,
00:55:52that's maybe why we have such a
00:55:54primal desire to procreate.
00:55:58You know,
00:55:59we're just afraid of taking on
00:56:00that kind of responsibility.
00:56:02So,
00:56:02you have a kid.
00:56:05There's no choice.
00:56:11Seem pretty settled.
00:56:33Tell me about the wedding.
00:56:34Hmm,
00:56:35it was small.
00:56:36Just a few friends at City Hall
00:56:37and a Justice of the Peace.
00:56:39Ten minutes and 75 dollars later,
00:56:41it was done.
00:56:42Oh.
00:56:43I'm romantic.
00:56:44I never understood the appeal
00:56:46of a big wedding.
00:56:47I do.
00:56:48I'm a huge wedding.
00:56:50Big flower arrangements
00:56:51on my family and friends.
00:56:53Big band playing.
00:56:55If I ever love somebody that much,
00:56:57I want to shout it to the world.
00:57:00You ever come close?
00:57:01No.
00:57:04Well,
00:57:05maybe once.
00:57:10You don't mean me.
00:57:12You want the truth?
00:57:14I've been with a lot of guys
00:57:15in my life.
00:57:18I've even lived with a few of them.
00:57:21None of them compare to you.
00:57:24It's gotten so bad
00:57:25that no matter where I go in the world,
00:57:28I find myself looking for you.
00:57:30The problem is,
00:57:32you're looking for the guy I used to be.
00:57:34The guy you remember.
00:57:36You're not that different.
00:57:37Yesterday, you told me I changed.
00:57:39Yeah, you have changed.
00:57:41I mean, we both have,
00:57:42but not that much.
00:57:44Oh, come on.
00:57:45When we first met,
00:57:46you just got in your MBA
00:57:47and I was an artist.
00:57:49So you admit it.
00:57:53Okay.
00:57:57Um, yes.
00:57:58I admit it.
00:57:59I'm not an artist anymore.
00:58:00Okay?
00:58:01Yeah.
00:58:02What ever happened to that guy?
00:58:06He, um,
00:58:09he got scared.
00:58:11Of what?
00:58:16Not being good enough.
00:58:20So he left New York.
00:58:21Mm-hmm.
00:58:23And got comfortable.
00:58:25And stopped listening to NPR.
00:58:29Maybe that's why I'm here.
00:58:31What?
00:58:31To get me to start listening to NPR again?
00:58:33No, make you uncomfortable.
00:58:34Hi.
00:58:35Another out?
00:58:37Um,
00:58:39you know, just a check, I think.
00:58:41Okay, cool.
00:58:41I'll be right back.
00:58:44Can I just say,
00:58:45I think you two are adorable.
00:58:47Me and Keith, the bartender,
00:58:48have been taking bets
00:58:50on how long we think
00:58:50you two have been together.
00:58:52Oh.
00:58:52Um,
00:58:54hmm.
00:58:56Fifteen years.
00:58:57Wow, it shows.
00:58:59I think you two have talked more today
00:59:00than me and my boyfriend have all year.
00:59:02I'll be right back with a check.
00:59:08Fifteen.
00:59:09Fifteen.
00:59:22What is this place?
00:59:24Yeah, it's great, isn't it?
00:59:26Yeah, totally.
00:59:27Look at this roof line.
00:59:29Yeah, it was abandoned years ago.
00:59:33Some famous movie star or musician
00:59:35used to live here.
00:59:38I always think about what I would do with it
00:59:40if it were mine.
00:59:42Tell me.
00:59:43First it would be the plumbing.
00:59:47I think you'd make a great artist studio,
00:59:49don't you?
00:59:51Yeah.
00:59:52Do it.
00:59:54I wish.
00:59:56How much would it cost?
00:59:59Are you going to buy it?
01:00:01Well, maybe.
01:00:05What does Brian think?
01:00:07Oh, he wouldn't like it.
01:00:09Where I see a blank canvas,
01:00:11he sees a money pit.
01:00:12Oh, has he seen it?
01:00:14I'm not sure.
01:00:16You haven't showed him?
01:00:20No.
01:00:24Well, you have a lot of secrets.
01:00:43All my heroes
01:00:46are so strange
01:00:53They stare at the ground
01:00:55They irradiate
01:01:00Me, I'm my own plan
01:01:03In the kitchen
01:01:03For the sun to pay off
01:01:11Lonely as I ring
01:01:13On a cold coffee cup
01:01:17I'm so sick
01:01:19I'm digging for bones
01:01:25If it weren't a second chance
01:01:28We'd all be alone
01:01:38My hands are strangers
01:01:41Lost in the night
01:01:45Those are my ears
01:01:48That's my
01:01:52Wait
01:01:54Which one's a lazy one?
01:01:56This one
01:01:56Am I alright, man?
01:01:58Looks normal
01:02:01It only drifts if I'm tired
01:02:03Or if I've been staring at something
01:02:04For a long time
01:02:06Wait, what do you see now?
01:02:08A big blur
01:02:10How about now?
01:02:12A bigger blur
01:02:19Wait
01:02:21If you didn't know it was me
01:02:22Could you tell?
01:02:25Probably?
01:02:26Yeah
01:02:28Is it really that bad?
01:02:30My right eye is a little better
01:02:31When I wear glasses
01:02:32But yeah, I'm basically blind in that eye
01:02:35God, that sucks
01:02:36God, that sucks
01:02:37No, what really sucks is I could have probably corrected it if I had just done the exercises when I
01:02:41was a kid
01:02:45I had to sit in a dark room
01:02:50With my good eye covered
01:02:53And with my lazy eye I had to look through a straw at a blinking yellow light
01:02:57That sounds super fun
01:02:59I had to wear an eye patch
01:03:01Wait, eye patches are kind of cool
01:03:03Not when you're six
01:03:06Wait, so it didn't work?
01:03:08No, I didn't work
01:03:11I didn't want to do it
01:03:15I was so miserable sitting in the dark room
01:03:18I'm wearing the eye patch
01:03:21Your parents didn't make you?
01:03:23No
01:03:25They wanted a happy boy
01:03:30It's funny though
01:03:32Sometimes I think if I had just done what I was supposed to
01:03:35I'd see the whole world differently
01:03:40I have an idea
01:03:43We should get you an eye patch
01:03:46I could change my name to Rocco
01:03:52Rocco
01:03:53Rocco
01:03:54What do you think?
01:03:56I'll consider it
01:04:07I can feel it
01:04:09What?
01:04:11My wedding band
01:04:12Well, that's telling
01:04:15I'm not being metaphorical
01:04:16I mean, I can feel it
01:04:18On my finger
01:04:19Like it's there
01:04:23I used to wear this visor
01:04:25When I played tennis
01:04:27And one time
01:04:28I took it off
01:04:31And
01:04:33I could still feel it there
01:04:34Like
01:04:35On my forehead
01:04:37And it
01:04:38Started to just drive me crazy
01:04:41So
01:04:41I had to go get my hair cut
01:04:43And I told the guy
01:04:44I could just
01:04:45Just cut this goddamn visor off my head please
01:04:48So he cuts my hair a little bit
01:04:50And he says
01:04:51Well
01:04:51Is it still there?
01:04:52I'm like
01:04:53Yeah
01:04:54It's still there
01:04:56So he cuts a little bit more
01:04:57And a little bit more
01:05:00And he eventually just shaves my head
01:05:04Did that work?
01:05:05No
01:05:08I finally learned to just live with it
01:05:12Until one day
01:05:12I realized it was gone
01:05:17Well, I can't cut off my finger
01:05:21Do you want me to do it for you?
01:05:26You know
01:05:28I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about it
01:05:35Okay
01:05:38So what's stopping you?
01:05:41It would hurt
01:05:43Yep
01:05:45And then it would feel better
01:05:50Maybe
01:05:53I just want to feel like this
01:05:55All the time
01:05:59You know we can
01:06:01I mean if we want to
01:06:05Wanting isn't the issue
01:06:09Come on
01:06:10This isn't sustainable
01:06:11Yeah, of course it is
01:06:16What's the longest relationship you've ever had?
01:06:20Um
01:06:21Well
01:06:23That's not the point
01:06:24Well it is the point
01:06:25If we're talking about commitment
01:06:26Well, no
01:06:27I'm not talking about commitment
01:06:29I'm talking about
01:06:32Feeling young
01:06:34And sexy
01:06:35And alive
01:06:37I'm talking about passion
01:06:39I mean
01:06:40Do you feel that with Bernie?
01:06:41Brian?
01:06:43Well, yeah
01:06:45Yes
01:06:45I do
01:06:47I do
01:06:48I did
01:06:48I mean
01:06:49I
01:06:49Yeah
01:06:50Sometimes
01:06:51Jesus Christ
01:06:52No, come on
01:06:53Of course I do
01:06:58Well, do you love him?
01:07:03Brian
01:07:04Is the kindest person
01:07:05I've ever met
01:07:06He's so smart
01:07:08He's so smart
01:07:10He's so funny
01:07:12He's incredibly generous and patient
01:07:15Yeah
01:07:16Do you love him?
01:07:18Yes
01:07:20I do
01:07:24You said the mark of adulthood
01:07:26Is someone who cares about something more than themselves
01:07:29Well, that's Brian
01:07:32You know, I could probably tell him about you
01:07:34And this whole weekend
01:07:35And he would be the one
01:07:38Trying to make me feel better
01:07:40Trying to make me feel less guilty
01:07:43I mean, sure he'd be
01:07:45He'd be mad
01:07:48But then when he calmed down
01:07:51He'd just want to try to understand
01:07:53Why I felt the need to do this in the first place
01:08:00So why am I here?
01:08:03What?
01:08:06I mean, why am I here, Dean?
01:08:31I thought you quit
01:08:34Brian won't mind, Willie
01:08:36And there's a dead mouse floating in your pool
01:08:40Oh, shit
01:08:41They keep falling in
01:08:44Well, maybe they're jumping
01:08:46Might still commit suicide
01:08:55Why did you just do that?
01:08:59What was I supposed to do?
01:09:01I don't know, bury it?
01:09:05It's a mouse
01:09:16What just happened?
01:09:17What do you want, Dean?
01:09:20What do I want?
01:09:22Yeah, it's a simple question
01:09:23What do you want?
01:09:23That is not a simple question
01:09:25Bullshit
01:09:27Okay, if it's so simple
01:09:28Then why don't you answer it?
01:09:29What do you want?
01:09:31You
01:09:36Me?
01:09:42What, after only two days?
01:09:44It hasn't been two days
01:09:45It's been 15 years
01:09:47We've been searching for each other for 15 years
01:09:50And I know you
01:09:54But you don't know me
01:09:58You don't know what I need
01:10:00Okay, then tell me
01:10:06What do you want me to say?
01:10:07That I'm going to leave my marriage?
01:10:08Then what?
01:10:11You and I run away together?
01:10:14Yeah
01:10:16Or something
01:10:18We give this a shot
01:10:19That's what I want
01:10:20So tell me
01:10:22What do you want?
01:10:36So many things
01:10:51I want my work to mean something
01:10:58I want to run a marathon someday
01:11:03I want to set aside more time for painting
01:11:14I want you
01:11:20I want my marriage to work
01:11:28Sometimes I just want to be by myself
01:11:33More than anything
01:11:38Right now I just want to be back in bed
01:11:44How do we do that?
01:11:47How do we do that?
01:12:09I want to sleep
01:12:13No, no, I mean
01:12:14I mean
01:12:14I'm so tired of running
01:12:20Then stop
01:12:24I feel like if I stop
01:12:25I'm going to die
01:12:42Yeah, let's go to sleep
01:12:51Yeah, okay
01:13:07I'll get the lights
01:13:29How do we do that?
01:13:40Like
01:13:41Bye
01:13:41Bye
01:14:35Oh, stop it.
01:14:39You didn't earn that.
01:14:42Oh, he feels so smart.
01:14:47We use the same toothpaste.
01:14:50Oh, yeah.
01:14:51Well, help yourself.
01:14:53Yeah, I did.
01:14:54Let me see.
01:15:05Okay, I have to tell you something.
01:15:08Okay.
01:15:11I'm not scared.
01:15:13Yeah, I can tell.
01:15:15What is it?
01:15:18Um, I don't remember your name.
01:15:22What?
01:15:23I'm so sorry.
01:15:26You just had my dick in your mouth.
01:15:27I know.
01:15:28I think I'm still drunk or something.
01:15:31I can't believe this.
01:15:34Oh, come on, asshole.
01:15:36All right, so wait.
01:15:37What is my name, then?
01:15:40Alexander Kofina.
01:15:42Ew, Alexander?
01:15:45Yeah.
01:15:46Okay, first of all,
01:15:47I haven't introduced myself as Alexander to anyone,
01:15:51no matter how cute they are.
01:15:52And you're a pretty kid.
01:15:58Secondly, I never told you my last name.
01:16:05Right.
01:16:08Okay, I, uh, I peeked.
01:16:10I peeked at your driver's license
01:16:11when you were in the bathroom.
01:16:13My credit card still better be there,
01:16:16you jerk.
01:16:16Um, that is not a flattering picture.
01:16:19You're awful.
01:16:21It's so mean.
01:16:23It's not.
01:16:24Okay, but what is it?
01:16:26What is what?
01:16:26Your name.
01:16:32I'll give you a hint.
01:16:33I'll give you a hint.
01:16:35It rhymes with mean.
01:16:37Queen.
01:16:38Exactly.
01:16:40Oh, wait, wait, wait.
01:16:41No, let me, let me think.
01:16:43Um.
01:16:47There's only one.
01:16:48Peen.
01:16:49Uh-huh.
01:16:52Dean!
01:16:53Oh, like James Dean.
01:16:54Mm-hmm.
01:16:55Oh.
01:16:56He was gay.
01:16:57Oh, come on.
01:16:58He was.
01:16:59Yeah, why do gay guys always do that about other guys?
01:17:01He was bi.
01:17:03Whatever.
01:17:04He admitted it.
01:17:05Who cares?
01:17:06He's dead.
01:17:07I'm bi.
01:17:08No, you're not.
01:17:09I am.
01:17:10Mm-hmm.
01:17:11Okay.
01:17:11How many women have you slept with?
01:17:13Why does that matter?
01:17:13I would like a number, please.
01:17:16Five.
01:17:18And that makes you bi?
01:17:20If I say it does.
01:17:23I think I always knew I was into guys.
01:17:26How would you know if you've never slept with a woman?
01:17:29I just knew.
01:17:31Absolutely.
01:17:32Mm-hmm.
01:17:33I was certain, but I didn't need a woman to help me figure that out.
01:17:37Certainty is the death of creativity.
01:17:40What?
01:17:40If you're certain, that means you're closed off to all the other possibilities out there.
01:17:44Or maybe it is the realization that not all things are possible.
01:17:53Okay.
01:17:54What's the difference between a gay guy and a straight guy?
01:17:58I don't know.
01:18:00Six beers.
01:18:02Ugh.
01:18:04That's funny.
01:18:06Wait, are you a comedian?
01:18:07No.
01:18:08I'm an artist.
01:18:10Oh, yeah.
01:18:12Wait, what do you really do?
01:18:17When I was a kid, I used to tell my family that I wanted to be an actor, an author,
01:18:23or an artist.
01:18:24And my dad would say, that's great.
01:18:26But how are you going to make a living?
01:18:30I have such a good idea.
01:18:32Hmm.
01:18:32Okay, how about we get married, and I support you with my high-paying Wall Street job?
01:18:42Can you imagine?
01:18:46Yeah, I can, actually.
01:18:54I like you.
01:18:58It's okay if I say that.
01:19:01Mm-hmm.
01:19:03I like you, too.
01:19:06Shit.
01:19:07What time is it?
01:19:09Who cares?
01:19:11Oh, it's eight o'clock!
01:19:14It's time for Morning Edition.
01:19:16What is that?
01:19:17NPR!
01:19:19What's NPR?
01:19:21National Public Radio.
01:19:22What is that?
01:19:24It's great.
01:19:26You're going to love it!
01:19:29Just listen.
01:19:57What is that?
01:19:58You're going to love me?
01:19:59You're going to love me.
01:20:20Alex?
01:20:30Alex?
01:21:06Dean, sorry to take off without saying goodbye.
01:21:10I guess some habits are hard to break.
01:21:15I hope you get that house someday.
01:21:18You deserve it.
01:21:20Alex.
01:21:38Alex.
01:22:06Alex.
01:22:31Alex.
01:22:32Alex.
01:22:34Alex.
01:22:35Alex.
01:22:37Alex.
01:22:37Brian.
01:22:38Hey honey.
01:22:41No, I'm still in the desert.
01:22:43I can't believe that I'm getting a signal right now.
01:22:48How are things going out there?
01:22:52Oh, typical.
01:22:54You should fire him.
01:22:59Okay, yeah, no, don't fire him.
01:23:04Brian?
01:23:07Brian, honey?
01:23:11Look, I need to say something.
01:23:15I think we should be together more.
01:23:20I just, I really want us to see each other more.
01:23:24Okay?
01:23:27Yeah, you know, we can talk about it when you get home.
01:23:34I love you too.
01:23:39Yeah, and we have to do something about these mice.
01:23:41I love you too.
01:24:10I love you too.
01:24:14I love you too.
01:24:27I love you too.
01:24:55I love you too.
01:24:57I love you too.
