Let's just let this
whole affair be simple.

18
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,334
"Affair"? What a horrible
choice of words.

Okay, Gwen, just please,
don't gang up on me, okay?

- Are we doing that?
- NICK: Yes.

21
00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,675
Yes, you both are.

without torment or turmoil and

25
00:02:33,385 --> 00:02:34,817
I feel that's within reach.

How many assistants
does this make, Nick?

27
00:02:37,623 --> 00:02:40,657
One per semester.
Summers without. Uh...

I may be off, but I believe
Naomi will be my sixth.

- Eighth.
- NICK: Eighth?

00:02:45,731 --> 00:02:47,665
You're forgetting what's-her-name
and that one guy.

31
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:48,965
Well, there were two guys.

32
00:02:48,967 --> 00:02:50,601
Two guys. Six ladies.

33
00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:53,436
Do women make better

NICK: Yeah, there is a certain
meticulous quality to the work that...

35
00:02:56,875 --> 00:03:00,109
Yes, I believe women tend
to excel at it more naturally.

36
00:03:00,111 --> 00:03:02,846
I prefer to employ women
to assist me in my work.

37

the word is "materials."

The "materials
of your father."

40
00:03:10,122 --> 00:03:13,358
You asked me to archive
the materials of your father.

41
00:03:16,461 --> 00:03:20,330
If you want your father's materials to
be appraised by the end of the year,

No need.

00:04:19,658 --> 00:04:21,024

Yeah.

Yes, thanks. Did you?

59

Yeah, it was nice.

60
00:04:26,798 --> 00:04:27,799
Very nice.

Are you still okay to go out
with Gwen early next week?

62
00:04:33,605 --> 00:04:35,774
I'm sure
that'll be just fine.

of Naomi?

64
00:04:48,954 --> 00:04:50,122
She seemed great.

- Is that all?
- Uh-huh.

66
00:04:56,595 --> 00:04:58,962

you're working with students

on your work again.

68
00:05:02,634 --> 00:05:06,505
You just said "great" twice and
"work" twice in the same sentence.

69
00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:11,140
Is there something wrong
with the way I speak?

(SIGHS) There's not.

I don't know. I put her in
touch with Jack and Dorothy

80
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,207
since they're spending
Jack's sabbatical traveling.

81

You knew that, right?

82
00:06:20,178 --> 00:06:22,211
That she's staying
down the street?

No, that Jack and Dorothy
are traveling.

NAOMI: Does it
bother you at all?

97

NICK: No. No, actually, the
pursuit of solitude and isolation

98
00:07:27,045 --> 00:07:30,447
is what initially drew me
to archiving and appraising.

99

100

What I mean is there's always a
widow or a daughter or a son, or...

Um... Well...

Well, I'm just very eager to learn
from somebody with so much experience.

There's not really that much of
this kind of thing in Australia.

- Oh. Why do you think that is?
- Um...

I don't know.
Lack of sentiment, maybe.

to need that throughout.

have grandchildren.

it all fits inside a room.

internalize it and...

appealed to me.

moved a lot, too,

You know, dramatize them in a
way that makes them compelling.

Maybe see if I can get
them turned into films.

184

to hang out with 'em.

work to get done, right?

probably gonna have to cancel on her.

It's a her.
Sorry if that was unclear.

Naomi? She's cool.
I don't know.

355
00:20:37,367 --> 00:20:39,568
What do you say to someone you
haven't seen since you were 15

356
00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:42,073
and had no idea even existed
until a week ago?

357
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,373
So what did you say?

358
00:20:44,375 --> 00:20:47,376
- Hmm?
- What did you guys talk about?

359
00:20:47,378 --> 00:20:49,578
Boring stuff. I was only
there for a little.

360
00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:51,748
It took me a while
to finish things up anyway.

361
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,716
She's fine. She's young.

362
00:20:53,718 --> 00:20:56,384
I don't really know how to talk
to people younger than me.

363
00:20:56,386 --> 00:20:58,854
Except for you.

364
00:20:58,856 --> 00:21:03,625
I don't know if three years is
really a valid age distinction.

365
00:21:03,627 --> 00:21:06,528
What have you been up to
since you got back?

366
00:21:06,530 --> 00:21:09,565
Drinking some beer,
listening to some records.

367
00:21:09,567 --> 00:21:11,936
Also I called my mom,
got credit for my good deed.

368
00:21:13,238 --> 00:21:15,071
What a good, good guy you are.

369
00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:18,641
That's what I'm always saying,
but nobody ever listens to me.

370
00:21:18,643 --> 00:21:21,012
I listen. I believe you.

371
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,919
(EXHALES) Thanks for
meeting me here.

372
00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,523

373
00:22:05,589 --> 00:22:08,257
Oh, hey, man.

374
00:22:08,259 --> 00:22:10,625
How long ago did you
start working on this?

375
00:22:10,627 --> 00:22:12,694
Three years.
It's a long time coming.

376
00:22:12,696 --> 00:22:14,930
Wow. Yeah.
Oh, this is Naomi.

377
00:22:14,932 --> 00:22:17,365
She's working with me on my
dead father-in-law's shit.

378
00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:22,638
This is Mike. He put the whole
donation to this place together.

379
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,940
So the work we're about to
see, the guy, the filmmaker,

380
00:22:25,942 --> 00:22:27,543
before he was a filmmaker,

381
00:22:27,545 --> 00:22:30,179
he had some photograph published
in Timothy's magazine,

382
00:22:30,181 --> 00:22:32,581
so that's why
we're here.

383
00:22:32,583 --> 00:22:33,552
Cool.

384
00:22:35,019 --> 00:22:36,121
Cool.

385
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:49,491
- GWEN: I see no happiness in them.
- NAOMI: Huh.

386
00:23:49,493 --> 00:23:53,930
I don't give a shit what Aly says to me.
I'll never not suspect that she's lying.

387
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:56,899
She's always been a liar.
She was a liar

388
00:23:56,901 --> 00:23:59,701
even when she was young.

389
00:23:59,703 --> 00:24:01,938
Are you telling me
you can't tell

390
00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,141
that Nick's
a deeply unhappy man?

391
00:24:05,143 --> 00:24:08,576
I'm not sure. I don't
really know him that well.

392
00:24:08,578 --> 00:24:10,779
This is why I thought it would
be best for us to talk.

393
00:24:10,781 --> 00:24:13,815
I don't want him poisoning
your mind thoroughly.

394
00:24:13,817 --> 00:24:15,084
I don't think
he's doing that.

395
00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:16,986
In a manner of speaking.

396
00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:21,090
The normal existence of him
and my sister

397
00:24:21,092 --> 00:24:22,926
makes me lose my appetite.

398
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:26,161
You're lucky I was able to keep
it under control the other night

399
00:24:26,163 --> 00:24:29,701
or I would have been sick
right there at the table.

400
00:24:30,434 --> 00:24:32,168
I love Alyssa.

401
00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:35,170
But I told her 10 years ago
that I thought

402
00:24:35,172 --> 00:24:36,940
getting married was foolish

403
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:40,945
and though
I guess Nick is fine,

404
00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:48,049
I'll never not suspect that she
was reacting to our father.

405
00:24:48,051 --> 00:24:52,488
I'm sorry. I didn't bring you over here
to unload and then interrogate you.

406
00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:54,590
No. No, it's great.

407
00:24:54,592 --> 00:24:57,092
I think Nick wanted
to eat lunch alone anyway.

408
00:24:57,094 --> 00:24:58,794
Oh, of course he did.

409
00:24:58,796 --> 00:25:00,595
- What a loser he can be.
- (CHUCKLES)

410
00:25:00,597 --> 00:25:02,264
Oh, it's all right.
I kind of like him.

411
00:25:02,266 --> 00:25:04,100
Give it time.

412
00:25:04,102 --> 00:25:07,370
You'll see soon enough, if you
haven't already, that he's weak.

413
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:09,371
It's okay.
Most people are.

414
00:25:09,373 --> 00:25:11,142
Especially men.

415
00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:15,044
My husband was weak.

416
00:25:15,046 --> 00:25:16,179
Got rid of him.

417
00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,447
You never wanted to remarry?

418
00:25:18,449 --> 00:25:20,215
Please.

419
00:25:20,217 --> 00:25:23,018
I think my father
wanted an heir.

420
00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:28,658
Probably that's what pushed Aly into Nick.
Or Nick into Aly, more accurately.

421
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:30,526
But what do I know?

422
00:25:30,528 --> 00:25:35,029
I just didn't want a
god-awful, stifling home life.

423
00:25:35,031 --> 00:25:37,165
Yeah.

424
00:25:37,167 --> 00:25:40,603
Yeah, I think I feel
drawn towards...

425
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:44,305
- I don't wanna say "not settling down."
- Exactly. Exactly.

426
00:25:44,307 --> 00:25:46,709
You get it.

427
00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:49,344
It's just hearing you,
call it what you will,

428
00:25:49,346 --> 00:25:52,480
but a young,
beautiful woman

429
00:25:52,482 --> 00:25:54,653
who understands

430
00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:58,853
that the option is there
to just say "fuck it"

431
00:25:58,855 --> 00:26:00,855
actually gives me hope
for the future.

432
00:26:00,857 --> 00:26:02,891
Be your own woman.

433
00:26:02,893 --> 00:26:05,827
Don't let anybody talk you out of it.
Let me talk you into it.

434
00:26:05,829 --> 00:26:07,796
That sounds great.

435
00:26:07,798 --> 00:26:10,266
Aly chose a lifestyle.

436
00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:15,203
I devoted my life to continuing
our father's work and legacy.

437
00:26:15,205 --> 00:26:18,642
You tell me which
is the more admirable

438
00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:20,312
choice.

439
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:24,680
I just felt that
she suppressed

440
00:26:24,682 --> 00:26:26,615
the woman
she was meant to be

441
00:26:26,617 --> 00:26:29,584
in order to be the woman
she wanted to be.

442
00:26:29,586 --> 00:26:32,455
- Does that make sense?
- Mmm-hmm.

443
00:26:32,457 --> 00:26:36,758
A woman devoted to work and
a strong sense of ambition

444
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,063
and a healthy sexual appetite
isn't something to be ashamed of.

445
00:26:41,065 --> 00:26:43,399
You're on
the right track.

446
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:47,603
If it wasn't obvious from the way Nick
was staring at you all through dinner,

447
00:26:47,605 --> 00:26:49,872
I would have figured it out the
minute you opened your mouth.

448
00:26:49,874 --> 00:26:51,206
Good on you.

449
00:26:51,208 --> 00:26:53,508
I don't think
he was staring at me.

450
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:55,411
Oh, yes, he was.

451
00:26:55,413 --> 00:26:57,747
Nick's been a bad boy
in the past,

452
00:26:57,749 --> 00:27:00,615
not recently,
that I know of.

453
00:27:00,617 --> 00:27:03,251
Though I don't think Aly's
been completely honest

454
00:27:03,253 --> 00:27:05,086
with me about that anymore.

00:27:05,088 --> 00:27:06,622

to find a path back to being

00:30:44,041 --> 00:30:46,208
I thought you heard me
coming in.

516
00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:49,010
Hello. I didn't know anyone
was going to be here.

517
00:30:49,012 --> 00:30:51,947
Yeah, Greg, this is Naomi. She
just started working with me.

518
00:30:51,949 --> 00:30:53,347
Nice to meet you.

519
00:30:53,349 --> 00:30:55,917
- That is a beautiful accent.
- Thanks.

520
00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:58,586
Let me guess
where it's from.

521
00:30:58,588 --> 00:30:59,787
New Zealand?

522
00:30:59,789 --> 00:31:02,024
- Uh, Australia, actually.
- Argh.

523
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:04,994
I've never been. I'm thinking of going.
Should I go?

524
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,928
NAOMI: Yeah, sure,
if you want to.

525
00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:09,197
How's the surfing? We've always
wanted to learn to surf.

526
00:31:09,199 --> 00:31:10,833
Um...

527
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:12,601
I don't know,
it's not really my thing.

528
00:31:12,603 --> 00:31:14,969
But I hear it's lovely,
apparently.

529
00:31:14,971 --> 00:31:17,672
Greg, what are you
doing here?

530
00:31:17,674 --> 00:31:19,674
GREG: Ah, just passing by.

531
00:31:19,676 --> 00:31:21,543
Everything's all set
for tonight.

532
00:31:21,545 --> 00:31:22,614
NAOMI: What's tonight?

533
00:31:23,347 --> 00:31:24,645
NICK: Oh...

534
00:31:24,647 --> 00:31:26,248
Today's my birthday.

535
00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:27,915
What? Happy birthday.

536
00:31:27,917 --> 00:31:29,718
Yeah, it's not a big deal.

537
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,886
GREG: Oh, he's wrong.
It's a huge deal.

538
00:31:31,888 --> 00:31:34,757
We're throwing
a little celebration.

539
00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:39,661
- You're invited.
- No, she's not invited, Greg.

540
00:31:39,663 --> 00:31:42,363
I thought you said it was a
night with the fellas tonight?

541
00:31:42,365 --> 00:31:45,167
Yeah, and what better way of
celebrating with the fellas

542
00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:47,102
than having
a beautiful woman?

543
00:31:47,104 --> 00:31:49,939
- Even the Rat Pack had Shirley MacLaine.
- Don't say "Rat Pack."

544
00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:52,908
I just, I don't understand
why you're here.

545
00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:55,009
I can see you're not excited
about tonight.

546
00:31:55,011 --> 00:31:57,078
No, I'm excited about tonight. I'm
just, obviously, I'm working...

547
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,546
Try to do something nice
for your buddy...

548
00:31:58,548 --> 00:32:01,019
Don't be a sissy, man, okay?
Just... We're at work!

549
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:05,723
Bye.

550
00:32:07,525 --> 00:32:08,559
(DOOR CLOSES)

551
00:32:12,229 --> 00:32:16,664
I'm sorry. My friends just can
be kind of irritating sometimes.

552
00:32:16,666 --> 00:32:18,267
No, he seemed great.

553
00:32:18,269 --> 00:32:20,436
(LAUGHING) Yeah, well...

554
00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:23,738
You haven't been in New York long
enough if you think Greg is great.

555
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:25,373
He's your friend,
though, right?

556
00:32:25,375 --> 00:32:28,309
Yeah, he's my friend.

557
00:32:28,311 --> 00:32:33,081
I'm sorry. I'm not doing a good job
explaining what's going on right now.

558
00:32:33,083 --> 00:32:34,650
No, no.
I think I understand.

559
00:32:34,652 --> 00:32:37,188
This is your space.

560
00:32:38,221 --> 00:32:39,324
Exactly.

561
00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:41,422
Yeah.

562
00:32:41,424 --> 00:32:44,558
So, um, will Gwen
and Alyssa go tonight?

563
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,764
No, no, no,
it's a night with the fellas.

564
00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:52,234
It's just gonna be a bunch of dads.
It's not going to be exciting.

565
00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:54,937
Greg is the only one who
expects it or wants it to be.

566
00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:56,371
Hmm.

567
00:32:56,373 --> 00:32:58,643
Why don't you
and Alyssa have kids?

568
00:33:00,309 --> 00:33:02,311
Sorry.

569
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:03,612
That's not an appropriate question.
It's none of my business.

570
00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:05,581
It's a common question.

571
00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:09,418
And once you turn 40, you'll
get asked it every few weeks.

572
00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,751
I mean, unless
you have kids already

573
00:33:10,753 --> 00:33:13,490
and then they'll ask you
some other question.

574
00:33:14,958 --> 00:33:16,694
Look, I'm sorry, if...

575
00:33:18,229 --> 00:33:19,928
If you want to come tonight,
of course you can come.

576
00:33:19,930 --> 00:33:22,564
It just really is
just gonna be a bunch of dads

577
00:33:22,566 --> 00:33:25,468
and a couple of assholes in
the form of Greg and myself.

578
00:33:25,470 --> 00:33:27,836
Well, I don't know
about that but, um,

579
00:33:27,838 --> 00:33:30,939
I mean, if I'm going to be
the only...

580
00:33:30,941 --> 00:33:33,275
Like if Alyssa's
not even coming,

581
00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:36,413
then I don't think it would be
very decent of me to show up.

582
00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:55,029
GWEN: Do you know if Sam sent
him anything for his birthday?

583
00:33:55,031 --> 00:33:57,932
He said he didn't want
to do anything.

584
00:33:57,934 --> 00:34:00,768
Now somehow he has this
night out with the guys?

585
00:34:00,770 --> 00:34:03,805
I wasn't invited.

586
00:34:03,807 --> 00:34:08,142
We'll do something later
over the weekend, maybe.

587
00:34:08,144 --> 00:34:11,646
We've never really been into
that kind of thing anyway.

588
00:34:11,648 --> 00:34:13,849
Ten years ago, we would have
forced some sort of effort.

589
00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:15,318
A weekend trip?

590
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,853
(SIGHS)

591
00:34:17,855 --> 00:34:20,389
I don't quite recall
when we stopped bothering.

592
00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:22,360
Funny, it just happens.

593
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:28,863
How are things going
with Nick and Dad's stuff?

594
00:34:28,865 --> 00:34:30,902
He doesn't talk about it?

595
00:34:31,735 --> 00:34:33,637
(STAMMERS) Good.

596
00:34:34,237 --> 00:34:35,938
I guess.

597
00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:39,374
But you know, I thought we
should have hired someone else.

598
00:34:39,376 --> 00:34:42,744
I just... I mean it would have
been cleaner outside the family.

599
00:34:42,746 --> 00:34:44,449
But he's doing fine.

600
00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,420
He must talk
about it sometimes.

601
00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:54,722
Everything's moving.

602
00:34:54,724 --> 00:34:58,061
He's had offers for a job
or two once this wraps.

603
00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,731
I think we decided not to

604
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:06,068
blabber on over

605
00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:11,440
endless nonsense regarding what
is, might, or could be going on.

606
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:16,744
You lose the ability to feign interest
in those things after a decade or so.

607
00:35:16,746 --> 00:35:18,280
I think I appreciate
his restraint.

608
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:19,784
I hope he does mine.

609
00:35:24,121 --> 00:35:25,990
Happy birthday to Nick.

610
00:35:31,461 --> 00:35:33,561
SAM: There are
irrelevant tasks

611
00:35:33,563 --> 00:35:36,097
and I'm okay with a mild
amount of tedious tasks,

612
00:35:36,099 --> 00:35:38,934
but birthday shopping
for in-laws

613
00:35:38,936 --> 00:35:41,135
should cross the line,
right?

614
00:35:41,137 --> 00:35:43,473
I wouldn't know.
Maybe, yes?

615
00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:46,742
I should give notice.

616
00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:48,646
I will give notice.

617
00:35:50,813 --> 00:35:52,113
Cut-your-losses situation.

618
00:35:52,115 --> 00:35:54,650
I should cut my losses.

619
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:59,490
I wanted to be upward. Instead I
am a glorified personal assistant.

620
00:36:01,525 --> 00:36:03,992
I look at women like her,

621
00:36:03,994 --> 00:36:07,929
we do, our age does,
and what should we see?

622
00:36:07,931 --> 00:36:11,300
Aspirational ideals.

623
00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:13,604
Examples of a lifestyle that

624
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:16,637
you believe in.

625
00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,009
So she is

626
00:36:18,976 --> 00:36:20,175
unmarried.

627
00:36:20,177 --> 00:36:21,275
That's great, right?

628
00:36:21,277 --> 00:36:22,679
And you

629
00:36:24,148 --> 00:36:25,445
are married.

630
00:36:25,447 --> 00:36:27,851
Also great, right?

631
00:36:29,152 --> 00:36:32,420
I don't want to feel
adrift in some

632
00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:34,789
nebulous middle ground.

633
00:36:34,791 --> 00:36:36,557
Where am I?

634
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:38,429
Okay? So...

635
00:36:39,528 --> 00:36:40,898
Where am I?

636
00:36:41,831 --> 00:36:42,833
Not

637
00:36:45,001 --> 00:36:47,938
early-30s, not 40s, just

638
00:36:50,474 --> 00:36:53,878
wasteland in the middle.

639
00:36:57,813 --> 00:37:00,951
Heavy-handed and dramatic,
minus five points.

640
00:37:03,653 --> 00:37:07,054
What a delight it must be to
function as my sole outlet

641
00:37:07,056 --> 00:37:09,858
for a never-ending barrage
of introspective blather

642
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:11,726
regarding the choices
that I've made.

643
00:37:11,728 --> 00:37:14,764
I didn't know I had a choice.
Do I have a choice?

644
00:37:21,403 --> 00:37:22,773
I should go.

645
00:37:24,074 --> 00:37:25,340
When is Buddy coming back?

646
00:37:25,342 --> 00:37:27,508
Stay. He's gonna
be gone a little while.

647
00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:29,309
Where is he?

648
00:37:29,311 --> 00:37:31,079
Um...

649
00:37:31,081 --> 00:37:34,081
A friend
of a friend's birthday?

650
00:37:34,083 --> 00:37:36,717
I don't know.
He was scant on the details.

651
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,456
You sure he's not out
with what's-her-face?

652
00:37:42,092 --> 00:37:44,358
Why would you say that?

653
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,095
GREG: All right, so I show up
at the kid's office here.

654
00:37:47,097 --> 00:37:49,764
First of all, he reacts
like an asshole.

655
00:37:49,766 --> 00:37:52,400
Second of all, he's acting like
I'm interrupting his nap time.

656
00:37:52,402 --> 00:37:55,103
- I did not reach like an asshole.
- "React." "React."

657
00:37:55,105 --> 00:37:56,771
NICK: Does anybody like
being startled at work?

658
00:37:56,773 --> 00:37:58,238
I have headphones on!

659
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,075
So he is employing now
this very beautiful,

660
00:38:01,077 --> 00:38:03,445
young, ripe, delicious...

661
00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:05,579
This is a human being
we are talking about, okay?

662
00:38:05,581 --> 00:38:07,115
Whatever.
Where is she from again?

663
00:38:07,117 --> 00:38:09,050
- She's from Australia.
- She's this Australian girl.

664
00:38:09,052 --> 00:38:10,851
So he has this little
Australian girl,

665
00:38:10,853 --> 00:38:12,387
she looks like
a trapped princess,

666
00:38:12,389 --> 00:38:14,423
and he looks like
a fucking ogre!

667
00:38:14,425 --> 00:38:17,525
That's an absurd exaggeration
of what was going on.

668
00:38:17,527 --> 00:38:18,959
Look, I got her number
all figured out.

669
00:38:18,961 --> 00:38:20,961
- Yo, Jessie, shots.
- She's the young type.

670
00:38:20,963 --> 00:38:24,599
She's the poisonous girl who exudes
sweetness, but she's dangerous.

671
00:38:24,601 --> 00:38:26,400
She's like a fang
dripping with honey.

672
00:38:26,402 --> 00:38:29,204
She's the death trap
to losers.

673
00:38:29,206 --> 00:38:30,572
- Like us.
- Dude, speak for yourself.

674
00:38:30,574 --> 00:38:32,307
You can lie to yourself
all you want.

675
00:38:32,309 --> 00:38:34,608
You put this girl in a room
with any man

676
00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:36,110
only one thing
that's gonna happen.

677
00:38:36,112 --> 00:38:39,648
Yeah, work, research
and a proper database.

678
00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,682
And we're building
a chronology for...

679
00:38:41,684 --> 00:38:42,916
GREG: Wrong again!

680
00:38:42,918 --> 00:38:45,253
- MAN: Here we go.
- I hate them.

681
00:38:45,255 --> 00:38:46,820
Dude, you gotta see
my new piece.

682
00:38:46,822 --> 00:38:48,690
She's got the most
luscious cooter.

683
00:38:48,692 --> 00:38:50,825
And Nick, of course,

684
00:38:50,827 --> 00:38:55,597
has never lost a battle of the
wills in circumstances like these.

685
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,800
Treacherous,

- Why does she need an assistant anyway?
- SAM: Why do you?

1031

No offense.

1032
01:01:36,525 --> 01:01:39,095
No, none taken, until you
said "no offense." (CHUCKLES)

1033
01:01:40,494 --> 01:01:42,695
All right. If I left,

1034
01:01:42,697 --> 01:01:45,965
I'm sure you guys
could figure it out.

1035
01:01:45,967 --> 01:01:48,834
I don't think so. I'm not... I
don't really know exactly...

1036
01:01:48,836 --> 01:01:51,137
I don't think I have much
left in me today

1037
01:01:51,139 --> 01:01:53,639
so, I'm gonna call
an audible

1038

Sam up to speed. Okay?

1048

good for me right now. Um...</i>

I feel like
the most difficult part

1060
01:03:22,264 --> 01:03:26,766
about being as transient as
I have been for a while is

1061
01:03:26,768 --> 01:03:31,237
just how vulnerable I am
to infatuation, you know?

1062
01:03:31,239 --> 01:03:34,307
I go to a new place,
and I want to move there

1063
01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:37,443
and then I meet somebody
and I fall in love with him,

1064
01:03:37,445 --> 01:03:40,514
and, you know, I want to be
with him all the time, and...

1065
01:03:40,516 --> 01:03:42,115
Then a week passes

1066
01:03:42,117 --> 01:03:45,751
and then two weeks pass,
and then

1067
01:03:45,753 --> 01:03:48,324
I just want to leave,
you know.

1068
01:03:50,793 --> 01:03:53,327
Are you there yet, now?

1069
01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:55,762
"There yet, now."

1070
01:03:55,764 --> 01:03:57,863
No, I'm not.

1071
01:03:57,865 --> 01:04:00,534
I mean, if only,
you know,

1072
01:04:00,536 --> 01:04:02,969
- because this is all so boring.

There's not really anything
to fixate on, you know.

And I say that
as a very positive thing.

1075

This family
is fucked up.

Well, we're sitting
in a basement office

1083
01:04:31,199 --> 01:04:33,333
surrounded by piles
of documents.

1084
01:04:33,335 --> 01:04:36,438
I'm not really sure
to which luster you refer.

1085
01:04:39,175 --> 01:04:41,077
It's hard to

1086
01:04:42,744 --> 01:04:46,146

competitive nonsense,

1087

1088

unwilling resentment we apparently
feel without warning, for our family.

You see it between Gwen
and Alyssa.

1090
01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:58,557
It's the same

1091
01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:00,659
for me and my sister.

1095

all wrapped up in
a genetically-bonded inability

1096
01:05:10,405 --> 01:05:13,005
to ever express the concurrent

1097
01:05:13,007 --> 01:05:15,575
- depth of these feelings.
- Hmm.

1098
01:05:15,577 --> 01:05:19,845
What a mess a dynamic
like this can be.

Between strangers, you, me,
Nick, Gwen, or whatever,

01:05:21,817 --> 01:05:24,583
it should be cleaner.
Maybe it is.

1101
01:05:24,585 --> 01:05:26,021
My problem

1102
01:05:27,222 --> 01:05:28,457
is that

1103
01:05:29,992 --> 01:05:34,594
personal dynamics
ebb and flow.

1104
01:05:34,596 --> 01:05:39,432
Most of them have an endpoint that
we are never not moving towards, but

1105
01:05:39,434 --> 01:05:41,735
- it's not so with family.
- Hmm.

1107

no hope for a clean getaway.

end well, to leave head held high,

behind you.

1110

and hope for the same.

optimism for a happy ending.

out of the house.

possibly weird,

1116

I hope that you don't
read anything into it.

1117

If you couldn't make it,

1118
01:06:26,047 --> 01:06:27,646
I'd probably just be
sitting here alone anyway.

1119
01:06:27,648 --> 01:06:29,550
No offense.

1120
01:06:29,552 --> 01:06:31,651
Why does everybody keep
saying that to me today?

1121
01:06:31,653 --> 01:06:32,885
Saying what?

1122
01:06:32,887 --> 01:06:34,954
Do I seem
extra offended today?

1123

You must be finding yourself
in apologetic company.

1124
01:06:37,391 --> 01:06:38,891
Well, don't apologize.

1125
01:06:38,893 --> 01:06:40,128
Sorry.

1126
01:06:40,795 --> 01:06:43,028
My mum was

1127
01:06:43,030 --> 01:06:46,266
very happy about the fact that
we caught up the first time.

1128
01:06:46,268 --> 01:06:49,635
I think it maybe makes her
feel like I'm less far away

1129
01:06:49,637 --> 01:06:51,871
or something,
like she has some slight

so sad that Dad had to
live alone after Mom died.

for him to live any other way.

going back to that big, empty house

there completely by himself

but fully satisfied.

That

1200
01:12:11,525 --> 01:12:14,363
crushed me. So,

1201
01:12:15,463 --> 01:12:17,095
I felt relief

1202
01:12:17,097 --> 01:12:22,035
in the worst possible way,
when Mom died.

1203
01:12:22,037 --> 01:12:26,639
That was devastating in its own way,
but hopefully you understand my point.

1204
01:12:26,641 --> 01:12:31,313
It was a relief not to see him living
that isolated existence anymore.

1205
01:12:33,648 --> 01:12:37,853
Now he's just a mountain of boxes
in the basement with Nick.

1206
01:12:38,819 --> 01:12:41,189
And he's down there with him.

1207
01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:45,592
You know, these feelings
are fleeting.

1208
01:12:45,594 --> 01:12:47,663
It's all gonna be forgotten.

1209
01:12:49,797 --> 01:12:53,598
Papers, documents, archives,
that's Dad now. And Mom.

1210
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,869
Nick's been showing me
how much Mom is in there.

1211
01:12:55,871 --> 01:12:58,137
It's not just his work.

1212
01:12:58,139 --> 01:13:00,839
It's our mutual life.

1213
01:13:00,841 --> 01:13:03,242
It's kind of sweet, actually.

1214
01:13:03,244 --> 01:13:06,979
Of course it refutes your opinion. I
probably won't show you any of it.

Please don't,
in that case.

1216

What do you think he does
down there all day?

1217
01:13:12,086 --> 01:13:16,089
Obviously, I know what he does.
The work gets done.

1218
01:13:16,091 --> 01:13:18,156
But I can't seem to shake...

If there is a problem,
she isn't the problem.

on her shoulders.

1226

How do you know that about her?
You met her once for two hours.

1227
01:13:39,713 --> 01:13:43,851
In two minutes, I could tell.
The other 1:58 confirmed it.

There's no way I can ever give him
the benefit of the doubt ever again.

I wish he would earn it back,
you know?

After years of penance, being
a strong, great partner.

1234
01:14:04,605 --> 01:14:05,937
But he hasn't.
I don't know why.

1235

He's a completely
different man now.

space to jeopardize things?

1238

I never believed it.

1239

Even when I found out,
I didn't believe it.

anything more than a nagging hunch?

Would you tell me if you thought
Naomi was untrustworthy?

01:25:25,586 --> 01:25:28,085
who makes us feel or

1366
01:25:28,087 --> 01:25:33,094
desire something we don't
currently feel or desire.

1367
01:25:35,462 --> 01:25:36,497
Desire.

1368
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,969
That's a novel concept.

1369
01:25:44,471 --> 01:25:45,472
(DOOR OPENS)

1370
01:25:54,180 --> 01:25:55,315
(DOOR CLOSES)

1371
01:26:05,126 --> 01:26:08,494
I need to give the key back to
you before I leave tomorrow.

1372
01:26:08,496 --> 01:26:11,296
I think they just said to leave
them under the mat before you go.

1373
01:26:11,298 --> 01:26:12,830
No, I meant the office keys.

1374
01:26:12,832 --> 01:26:15,369
Oh, yeah, I'll take those.

1375
01:26:17,805 --> 01:26:20,871
I'm applying for this
work-study program in Sydney

1376
01:26:20,873 --> 01:26:22,340
and I was wondering
if maybe you could write

1377
01:26:22,342 --> 01:26:24,179
a letter of recommendation
for me.

1378
01:26:24,845 --> 01:26:26,344
Yeah.

1379
01:26:26,346 --> 01:26:29,581
- Sure.
- Great. Thank you. (CLEARS THROAT)

1380
01:26:29,583 --> 01:26:31,152
I, um... (CLEARS THROAT)

1381
01:26:32,987 --> 01:26:37,522
I hope that I've been helpful
to you over the last few months

1382
01:26:37,524 --> 01:26:41,593
and that Timothy's materials
are in a better shape now

1383
01:26:41,595 --> 01:26:43,298
than they would have been
without me here.

1384
01:26:44,631 --> 01:26:46,333
I believe they are.

1385
01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:49,134
Good.

1386
01:26:49,136 --> 01:26:53,472
And I wanted to thank you for
introducing me to your family and

1387
01:26:53,474 --> 01:26:55,508
inviting me into your home.

1388
01:26:55,510 --> 01:26:59,311
I don't think many people would
blend work and family like that

1389
01:26:59,313 --> 01:27:01,849
and I think it was
very classy of you.

1390
01:27:05,353 --> 01:27:06,386
Um...

1391
01:27:07,186 --> 01:27:08,787
And...

1392
01:27:08,789 --> 01:27:11,990
I hope that we can
stay in touch.

1393
01:27:11,992 --> 01:27:14,058
You know,

1394
01:27:14,060 --> 01:27:17,329
if I... If I come back here, maybe
when I'm done with my studies,

1395
01:27:17,331 --> 01:27:20,101
we could perhaps
work together again.

1396
01:27:22,703 --> 01:27:23,705
Yeah, sure.

1397
01:27:24,338 --> 01:27:25,405
Great.

1398
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,352
NICK: <i>It's okay,
she's gone anyway.</i>

1399
01:27:41,354 --> 01:27:43,955
I'm without assistant.

1400
01:27:43,957 --> 01:27:46,058
I thought she left
last week.

1401
01:27:46,060 --> 01:27:47,395
No, today.

1402
01:27:48,462 --> 01:27:50,331
You stopped
mentioning her.

1403
01:27:51,765 --> 01:27:55,768
What's to say?
She was a boring person.

1404
01:27:55,770 --> 01:27:57,803
I know Gwen wanted
to spend some time with her.

1405
01:27:57,805 --> 01:28:00,775
I wonder if that
ever ended up happening.

1406
01:28:01,576 --> 01:28:03,107
Um...

1407
01:28:03,109 --> 01:28:05,544
She started seeing
some guy.

1408
01:28:05,546 --> 01:28:07,812
He came to pick her up
for lunch.

1409
01:28:07,814 --> 01:28:10,918
Anyway, he stopped coming
like a week or so ago.

1410
01:28:11,786 --> 01:28:13,451
Anyway.

1411
01:28:13,453 --> 01:28:16,888
I don't know what happened
with that, she...

1412
01:28:16,890 --> 01:28:21,058
She got sloppy, and the
work suffered, so that's...

1413
01:28:21,060 --> 01:28:22,262
That's that.

1414
01:28:25,164 --> 01:28:26,801
Everything okay?

1415
01:28:30,938 --> 01:28:32,407
I don't know.

1416
01:28:35,408 --> 01:28:39,111
Finishing a job can't help
but make me feel miserable

1417
01:28:39,113 --> 01:28:41,946
about the state
of my own work.

1418
01:28:41,948 --> 01:28:45,550
It's dead and irrelevant.

1419
01:28:45,552 --> 01:28:47,018
I don't know.

1420
01:28:47,020 --> 01:28:49,323
Lifetime after lifetime...

1421
01:28:51,591 --> 01:28:54,226
Catalogued,
packed with gloves,

1422
01:28:54,228 --> 01:28:56,130
packed up, shipped away.

1423
01:28:59,565 --> 01:29:01,301
Is that all there is?

1424
01:29:01,528 --> 01:29:06,528
