- 00:02:04,390 --> 00:02:06,825
- - Is everything okay?
- - Yeah.
- 13
- 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:09,592
- Yes.
- 14
- 00:02:09,594 --> 00:02:11,461
- He's on edge.
- 15
- 00:02:11,463 --> 00:02:13,096
- You seem on edge, Nick.
- 16
- 00:02:13,098 --> 00:02:14,798
- Let's just let this
- whole affair be simple.
- 17
- 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,334
- "Affair"? What a horrible
- choice of words.
- 18
- 00:02:18,336 --> 00:02:22,572
- Okay, Gwen, just please,
- don't gang up on me, okay?
- 19
- 00:02:22,574 --> 00:02:24,308
- - Are we doing that?
- - Yes.
- 20
- 00:02:24,310 --> 00:02:25,675
- Yes, you both are.
- 21
- 00:02:25,677 --> 00:02:27,177
- Apologize, sister.
- 22
- 00:02:27,179 --> 00:02:29,078
- You apologize, sister.
- 23
- 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,383
- Okay, I would love a situation
- without torment or turmoil and
- 24
- 00:02:33,385 --> 00:02:34,817
- I feel that's within reach.
- 25
- 00:02:34,819 --> 00:02:37,621
- How many assistants
- does this make, Nick?
- 26
- 00:02:37,623 --> 00:02:40,657
- One per semester.
- Summers without. Uh...
- 27
- 00:02:40,659 --> 00:02:43,560
- I may be off, but I believe
- Naomi will be my sixth.
- 28
- 00:02:43,562 --> 00:02:45,729
- - Eighth.
- - Eighth?
- 29
- 00:02:45,731 --> 00:02:47,665
- You're forgetting what's-her-name
- and that one guy.
- 30
- 00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:48,965
- Well, there were two guys.
- 31
- 00:02:48,967 --> 00:02:50,601
- Two guys. Six ladies.
- 32
- 00:02:50,603 --> 00:02:53,436
- Do women make better
- archivists, I wonder?
- 33
- 00:02:53,438 --> 00:02:56,873
- Yeah, there is a certain
- meticulous quality to the work that...
- 34
- 00:02:56,875 --> 00:03:00,109
- Yes, I believe women tend
- to excel at it more naturally.
- 35
- 00:03:00,111 --> 00:03:02,846
- I prefer to employ women
- to assist me in my work.
- 36
- 00:03:02,848 --> 00:03:05,082
- You work in documents.
- 37
- 00:03:05,084 --> 00:03:08,417
- "Materials." You know
- the word is "materials."
- 38
- 00:03:08,419 --> 00:03:10,120
- The "materials
- of your father."
- 39
- 00:03:10,122 --> 00:03:13,358
- You asked me to archive
- the materials of your father.
- 40
- 00:03:16,461 --> 00:03:20,330
- If you want your father's materials to
- be appraised by the end of the year,
- 41
- 00:03:20,332 --> 00:03:22,965
- you're gonna have to accept that
- I need a second pair of hands.
- 42
- 00:03:32,044 --> 00:03:33,243
- - Hey.
- - Hi.
- 43
- 00:03:33,245 --> 00:03:34,313
- Hi, come on in.
- 44
- 00:03:36,882 --> 00:03:38,215
- Uh...
- 45
- 00:03:38,217 --> 00:03:41,786
- Alyssa, Gwendolyn,
- this is Naomi.
- 46
- 00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:44,120
- That's my wife, Alyssa,
- and her sister, Gwen.
- 47
- 00:03:44,122 --> 00:03:45,955
- They're Timothy's daughters.
- 48
- 00:03:45,957 --> 00:03:47,824
- Oh. I'm sorry, come on in.
- 49
- 00:03:47,826 --> 00:03:49,262
- Thank you, I will.
- 50
- 00:03:56,735 --> 00:03:58,770
- - Talk soon.
- - Soon, soon.
- 51
- 00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:12,718
- I can help.
- 52
- 00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:14,753
- No need.
- 53
- 00:04:19,658 --> 00:04:21,024
- Nice time?
- 54
- 00:04:21,026 --> 00:04:22,591
- Yeah.
- 55
- 00:04:22,593 --> 00:04:24,430
- Yes, thanks. Did you?
- 56
- 00:04:25,264 --> 00:04:26,796
- Yeah, it was nice.
- 57
- 00:04:26,798 --> 00:04:27,799
- Very nice.
- 58
- 00:04:29,901 --> 00:04:33,603
- Are you still okay to go out
- with Gwen early next week?
- 59
- 00:04:33,605 --> 00:04:35,774
- I'm sure
- that'll be just fine.
- 60
- 00:04:45,716 --> 00:04:47,819
- What did you think
- of Naomi?
- 61
- 00:04:48,954 --> 00:04:50,122
- She seemed great.
- 62
- 00:04:52,992 --> 00:04:56,593
- - Is that all?
- - Uh-huh.
- 63
- 00:04:56,595 --> 00:04:58,962
- I mean, I think it's great that
- you're working with students
- 64
- 00:04:58,964 --> 00:05:00,332
- on your work again.
- 65
- 00:05:02,634 --> 00:05:06,505
- You just said "great" twice and
- "work" twice in the same sentence.
- 66
- 00:05:08,141 --> 00:05:11,140
- Is there something wrong
- with the way I speak?
- 67
- 00:05:11,142 --> 00:05:13,245
- There's not.
- 68
- 00:05:16,214 --> 00:05:19,082
- You have this all sorted.
- 69
- 00:05:19,084 --> 00:05:22,454
- Excuse me, I'm not feeling my best.
- I'm gonna lie down.
- 70
- 00:06:00,559 --> 00:06:03,192
- Where does Naomi stay
- while she's here?
- 71
- 00:06:03,194 --> 00:06:05,195
- What? Um...
- 72
- 00:06:05,197 --> 00:06:06,829
- I don't know. Um...
- 73
- 00:06:06,831 --> 00:06:09,233
- Somewhere nearby,
- I suppose.
- 74
- 00:06:09,235 --> 00:06:12,702
- In our neighborhood?
- 75
- 00:06:12,704 --> 00:06:15,038
- I don't know. I put her in
- touch with Jack and Dorothy
- 76
- 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,207
- since they're spending
- Jack's sabbatical traveling.
- 77
- 00:06:18,209 --> 00:06:20,176
- You knew that, right?
- 78
- 00:06:20,178 --> 00:06:22,211
- That she's staying
- down the street?
- 79
- 00:06:22,213 --> 00:06:25,481
- No, that Jack and Dorothy
- are traveling.
- 80
- 00:06:25,483 --> 00:06:27,918
- I don't really know them.
- 81
- 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,820
- Yeah, you do,
- we see them all the time.
- 82
- 00:06:30,822 --> 00:06:32,923
- They're your friends.
- I don't know them.
- 83
- 00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:36,425
- We've been to their house.
- They've been here.
- 84
- 00:06:36,427 --> 00:06:37,894
- We eat together.
- 85
- 00:06:37,896 --> 00:06:39,432
- All right, fine.
- 86
- 00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:49,709
- Do I need to be worried
- about Naomi?
- 87
- 00:06:51,810 --> 00:06:53,044
- Can you stop?
- 88
- 00:07:21,107 --> 00:07:23,505
- Does it
- bother you at all?
- 89
- 00:07:23,507 --> 00:07:27,043
- No. No, actually, the
- pursuit of solitude and isolation
- 90
- 00:07:27,045 --> 00:07:30,447
- is what initially drew me
- to archiving and appraising.
- 91
- 00:07:30,449 --> 00:07:31,949
- The hassles come
- 92
- 00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:34,584
- from when people don't know
- exactly what it is I do.
- 93
- 00:07:34,586 --> 00:07:37,988
- Like Gwen,
- my sister-in-law,
- 94
- 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:39,755
- kind of reminds me,
- you know,
- 95
- 00:07:39,757 --> 00:07:43,026
- what the time in this room
- is all about, you know.
- 96
- 00:07:43,028 --> 00:07:46,396
- See, there's always a Gwen.
- 97
- 00:07:46,398 --> 00:07:51,468
- What I mean is there's always a
- widow or a daughter or a son, or...
- 98
- 00:07:51,470 --> 00:07:53,736
- Um... Well...
- 99
- 00:07:53,738 --> 00:07:58,207
- Well, I'm just very eager to learn
- from somebody with so much experience.
- 100
- 00:07:58,209 --> 00:08:02,245
- There's not really that much of
- this kind of thing in Australia.
- 101
- 00:08:02,247 --> 00:08:06,015
- - Oh. Why do you think that is?
- - Um...
- 102
- 00:08:06,017 --> 00:08:09,485
- I don't know.
- Lack of sentiment, maybe.
- 103
- 00:08:09,487 --> 00:08:11,387
- Stunted relationship
- with the past?
- 104
- 00:08:11,389 --> 00:08:15,224
- I feel like people mostly just throw
- stuff away and forget about it.
- 105
- 00:08:15,226 --> 00:08:16,726
- Hmm.
- 106
- 00:08:16,728 --> 00:08:18,461
- Interesting.
- 107
- 00:08:18,463 --> 00:08:21,831
- Yeah, but, um, I am excited.
- I am really excited
- 108
- 00:08:21,833 --> 00:08:25,769
- to see what you have to show
- me over the next few months.
- 109
- 00:08:25,771 --> 00:08:27,170
- Okay.
- 110
- 00:08:27,172 --> 00:08:28,437
- Okay.
- 111
- 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:30,373
- Well,
- 112
- 00:08:30,375 --> 00:08:32,276
- I like to begin
- 113
- 00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:34,710
- - with memos and correspondence.
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 114
- 00:08:34,712 --> 00:08:39,049
- It's a voluminous part of the process,
- so I just get it out of the way.
- 115
- 00:08:39,051 --> 00:08:41,184
- I like, uh... So, okay.
- 116
- 00:08:41,186 --> 00:08:44,020
- - So we start with these...
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 117
- 00:08:44,022 --> 00:08:45,789
- ...and then
- 118
- 00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:49,959
- that goes in here, and this, and
- these become the chronology.
- 119
- 00:08:49,961 --> 00:08:52,363
- And we're definitely going
- to need that throughout.
- 120
- 00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,834
- All right, great. Okay.
- 121
- 00:09:00,004 --> 00:09:03,373
- I really liked meeting Alyssa
- and Gwen the other night.
- 122
- 00:09:03,375 --> 00:09:05,975
- I hope that we can do
- that kind of thing again.
- 123
- 00:09:05,977 --> 00:09:07,710
- Yeah, sure.
- 124
- 00:09:07,712 --> 00:09:10,580
- Does Gwen have kids?
- 125
- 00:09:10,582 --> 00:09:13,717
- Uh, no. Timothy, I think,
- was secretly disappointed
- 126
- 00:09:13,719 --> 00:09:15,618
- he didn't
- have grandchildren.
- 127
- 00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,820
- I mean, he never
- told them that, but...
- 128
- 00:09:17,822 --> 00:09:21,358
- Obviously, they both have
- their own opinion about it.
- 129
- 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,292
- I guess the bloodline's dead.
- 130
- 00:09:23,294 --> 00:09:25,295
- Yeah, you could say that.
- 131
- 00:09:25,297 --> 00:09:28,464
- It's far more exciting than
- what we're talking about.
- 132
- 00:09:28,466 --> 00:09:31,300
- Well, they both seem like
- really interesting women, so
- 133
- 00:09:31,302 --> 00:09:33,306
- I'd like to get
- to know them.
- 134
- 00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:05,401
- Sorry this place
- doesn't have that much.
- 135
- 00:10:05,403 --> 00:10:07,903
- It's just my place,
- right here.
- 136
- 00:10:07,905 --> 00:10:10,406
- You know, I never really thought
- about where to bring somebody
- 137
- 00:10:10,408 --> 00:10:14,042
- 'cause they usually use this time
- to, you know, meet friends or
- 138
- 00:10:14,044 --> 00:10:15,612
- generally get away
- from me.
- 139
- 00:10:15,614 --> 00:10:17,513
- Mmm. Well,
- 140
- 00:10:17,515 --> 00:10:20,583
- seeing as I don't really know anybody
- here, I hope you don't mind.
- 141
- 00:10:20,585 --> 00:10:23,219
- No, I just feel bad, it's
- just not an exciting spot.
- 142
- 00:10:23,221 --> 00:10:24,720
- It's exciting to me.
- 143
- 00:10:24,722 --> 00:10:27,123
- I'll think of somewhere else
- for us that's close by.
- 144
- 00:10:27,125 --> 00:10:30,127
- No, no, because
- you like routine.
- 145
- 00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:31,395
- I can tell.
- 146
- 00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:33,796
- Repetition, you point
- to that a lot.
- 147
- 00:10:33,798 --> 00:10:35,831
- I suppose it's true.
- 148
- 00:10:35,833 --> 00:10:38,468
- I mean, the work is pretty
- similar, day to day.
- 149
- 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:39,802
- Does that not
- get to you at all?
- 150
- 00:10:39,804 --> 00:10:42,070
- Oh, no,
- it's quite the opposite.
- 151
- 00:10:42,072 --> 00:10:44,340
- It's thrilling.
- 152
- 00:10:44,342 --> 00:10:48,511
- It would have to be, you know,
- for me to be down there,
- 153
- 00:10:48,513 --> 00:10:53,150
- you know, that in the end, that
- it all fits inside a room.
- 154
- 00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:55,354
- And I can
- internalize it and...
- 155
- 00:10:56,488 --> 00:10:59,022
- It's just always
- appealed to me.
- 156
- 00:10:59,024 --> 00:11:00,991
- I don't know,
- I guess I moved around a lot.
- 157
- 00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,761
- I was never in the same
- place for very long.
- 158
- 00:11:03,763 --> 00:11:06,762
- And my parents
- moved a lot, too,
- 159
- 00:11:06,764 --> 00:11:10,166
- so I just never really felt like
- I got the chance to accumulate
- 160
- 00:11:10,168 --> 00:11:13,502
- the kind of stuff that these
- sort of people have, you know?
- 161
- 00:11:13,504 --> 00:11:16,672
- So being close to it kind of
- feels like, I don't know,
- 162
- 00:11:16,674 --> 00:11:19,277
- kind of like a fantasy
- or something, you know.
- 163
- 00:11:20,645 --> 00:11:23,646
- I'm worried
- that when I'm gone
- 164
- 00:11:23,648 --> 00:11:27,987
- I won't really leave much stuff
- behind to be taken care of, you know.
- 165
- 00:11:29,587 --> 00:11:31,389
- Well, then
- what's the end game?
- 166
- 00:11:32,457 --> 00:11:34,925
- Well, um...
- 167
- 00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:38,026
- I know that I'm good
- at what I do and
- 168
- 00:11:38,028 --> 00:11:41,830
- you know, I understand the work,
- as you probably feel as well.
- 169
- 00:11:41,832 --> 00:11:44,033
- I would like to write
- 170
- 00:11:44,035 --> 00:11:47,002
- nonfiction accounts
- of ordinary people.
- 171
- 00:11:47,004 --> 00:11:50,039
- You know, dramatize them in a
- way that makes them compelling.
- 172
- 00:11:50,041 --> 00:11:52,142
- Maybe see if I can get
- them turned into films.
- 173
- 00:11:52,144 --> 00:11:56,878
- People never make films about ordinary
- people who don't really do anything.
- 174
- 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,080
- They're out there.
- 175
- 00:11:58,082 --> 00:11:59,882
- I can take you to some.
- 176
- 00:11:59,884 --> 00:12:02,053
- Sure. That'd be great.
- 177
- 00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:14,033
- - How's the day going?
- - Hmm.
- 178
- 00:12:15,567 --> 00:12:17,233
- Are you staying?
- 179
- 00:12:17,235 --> 00:12:19,234
- I think I have to.
- 180
- 00:12:19,236 --> 00:12:21,170
- Otherwise, it's just
- dragging on.
- 181
- 00:12:21,172 --> 00:12:22,738
- Are you leaving?
- 182
- 00:12:22,740 --> 00:12:25,675
- Uh, hoping to. Sam wanted
- to get together. So...
- 183
- 00:12:25,677 --> 00:12:29,313
- Oh. You'll meet up with her, then
- I'll just see you at home whenever.
- 184
- 00:12:29,315 --> 00:12:30,680
- Yeah. Sure.
- 185
- 00:12:30,682 --> 00:12:32,715
- I should go finish
- before I lose the thread.
- 186
- 00:12:32,717 --> 00:12:35,318
- - Tell Sam I said hi.
- - Mmm. I will.
- 187
- 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,522
- Oh. Sorry. Before I forget, I was
- going to mention this before.
- 188
- 00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:41,190
- My mom called. One of her oldest
- friends from college's kid
- 189
- 00:12:41,192 --> 00:12:42,725
- just moved here
- and doesn't know anybody.
- 190
- 00:12:42,727 --> 00:12:44,627
- She asked me
- to hang out with 'em.
- 191
- 00:12:44,629 --> 00:12:47,430
- Okay, you said you still had
- work to get done, right?
- 192
- 00:12:47,432 --> 00:12:49,532
- I know. I feel bad because I'm
- probably gonna have to cancel on her.
- 193
- 00:12:49,534 --> 00:12:52,004
- It's a her.
- Sorry if that was unclear.
- 194
- 00:12:54,539 --> 00:12:56,138
- So are you working,
- 195
- 00:12:56,140 --> 00:12:58,874
- or are you going out,
- just not going out with me?
- 196
- 00:12:58,876 --> 00:13:00,743
- That's the thing.
- I'm not sure yet.
- 197
- 00:13:00,745 --> 00:13:02,310
- Either way,
- it'll be pointless.
- 198
- 00:13:02,312 --> 00:13:03,881
- I met the girl once when she
- was something like five.
- 199
- 00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:05,882
- I'm sure she sucks now.
- 200
- 00:13:05,884 --> 00:13:08,419
- What am I supposed to do,
- say no to my mom?
- 201
- 00:13:09,587 --> 00:13:10,686
- You could try.
- 202
- 00:13:10,688 --> 00:13:11,787
- No.
- 203
- 00:13:11,789 --> 00:13:13,291
- Tell Sam I said hi.
- 204
- 00:13:18,129 --> 00:13:21,097
- I'm fine.
- I'm just fine.
- 205
- 00:13:21,099 --> 00:13:22,199
- Just babysitter stuff.
- 206
- 00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:23,465
- Let's talk about it.
- 207
- 00:13:23,467 --> 00:13:24,733
- No, it's not really
- doctor-patient stuff,
- 208
- 00:13:24,735 --> 00:13:27,036
- it's just
- logistical hassles
- 209
- 00:13:27,038 --> 00:13:31,773
- that I've been dealing with since I
- went back to work, which I, um...
- 210
- 00:13:31,775 --> 00:13:35,545
- I don't know if I should have
- done that for another few months.
- 211
- 00:13:35,547 --> 00:13:36,914
- Mmm. There we go.
- 212
- 00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:39,248
- No, it's not
- like that, it's just...
- 213
- 00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:42,785
- I guess it's about finding
- balance in the home.
- 214
- 00:13:42,787 --> 00:13:45,188
- Does that make sense?
- 215
- 00:13:45,190 --> 00:13:48,590
- It's just now we've got
- this little lumpen creature
- 216
- 00:13:48,592 --> 00:13:50,695
- throwing off the balance,
- you know?
- 217
- 00:13:52,464 --> 00:13:55,265
- What else?
- 218
- 00:13:55,267 --> 00:13:59,301
- Everything's fine. I mean, it's
- the same as last I saw you...
- 219
- 00:14:04,942 --> 00:14:06,008
- I was gonna ask...
- 220
- 00:14:06,010 --> 00:14:07,643
- - Oh, no, I'm sorry.
- - Oh.
- 221
- 00:14:07,645 --> 00:14:09,679
- - What were you going to say?
- - Oh, um...
- 222
- 00:14:09,681 --> 00:14:13,281
- I was gonna say I know I paid
- for my lunch today,
- 223
- 00:14:13,283 --> 00:14:17,487
- but I was wondering if you could maybe
- pay for it from this point forward,
- 224
- 00:14:17,489 --> 00:14:20,523
- - or maybe provide a stipend...
- - I'm sorry, I should've paid today.
- 225
- 00:14:20,525 --> 00:14:24,093
- - I'll reimburse you.
- - No, please, no, today is fine.
- 226
- 00:14:24,095 --> 00:14:28,498
- It's just, you know, normally I wouldn't
- even go to lunch, just to save money.
- 227
- 00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,099
- - I got it.
- - Great, thank you.
- 228
- 00:14:30,101 --> 00:14:31,069
- Sure.
- 229
- 00:14:34,105 --> 00:14:35,839
- Um...
- 230
- 00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:39,642
- Sorry, you're actually
- not doing this right.
- 231
- 00:14:39,644 --> 00:14:41,344
- These haven't
- been scanned yet
- 232
- 00:14:41,346 --> 00:14:43,813
- and so you can't do it properly
- once they're in the plastic.
- 233
- 00:14:43,815 --> 00:14:45,681
- Oh, okay. Sorry.
- 234
- 00:14:45,683 --> 00:14:47,050
- No, I'm sorry, I just...
- 235
- 00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:48,685
- Learning curve.
- 236
- 00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:50,520
- - Yeah.
- - Yeah.
- 237
- 00:14:50,522 --> 00:14:52,291
- Oh. All right.
- 238
- 00:15:01,099 --> 00:15:03,266
- Is it nice to, uh,
- 239
- 00:15:03,268 --> 00:15:06,268
- to live so close
- to where you work?
- 240
- 00:15:06,270 --> 00:15:10,440
- Some people would find it stifling or,
- you know, contained, but I love it.
- 241
- 00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:15,281
- It's thrilling. For my whole
- life to exist in one small zone?
- 242
- 00:15:16,047 --> 00:15:17,180
- It's great.
- 243
- 00:15:17,182 --> 00:15:18,283
- Oh, so,
- 244
- 00:15:19,650 --> 00:15:20,917
- do you like the place?
- 245
- 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:23,419
- Yeah, it's really,
- really great.
- 246
- 00:15:23,421 --> 00:15:26,022
- Thank you so much
- for helping me set it up.
- 247
- 00:15:26,024 --> 00:15:28,360
- And, um, for paying
- the difference.
- 248
- 00:15:29,326 --> 00:15:30,993
- - Of course.
- - Cool!
- 249
- 00:15:30,995 --> 00:15:32,929
- Well, I had
- a great day today
- 250
- 00:15:32,931 --> 00:15:36,565
- and look forward
- to more tomorrow.
- 251
- 00:15:36,567 --> 00:15:37,568
- See ya.
- 252
- 00:15:38,503 --> 00:15:39,471
- Yeah.
- 253
- 00:15:59,657 --> 00:16:01,257
- I got you this.
- 254
- 00:16:01,259 --> 00:16:03,158
- I hope you don't
- have one already.
- 255
- 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,097
- I don't, but I'd been thinking about
- getting one for a little while.
- 256
- 00:16:10,601 --> 00:16:15,341
- So what are we talking, like
- nightmare or just a Tuesday?
- 257
- 00:16:18,076 --> 00:16:20,443
- She's great.
- She's great.
- 258
- 00:16:20,445 --> 00:16:22,145
- She's great.
- 259
- 00:16:22,147 --> 00:16:23,782
- She...
- 260
- 00:16:26,283 --> 00:16:29,419
- I'd rather... She's a great person
- to work for, for me to be...
- 261
- 00:16:29,421 --> 00:16:32,055
- For me to be working for
- 262
- 00:16:32,057 --> 00:16:33,422
- right now.
- 263
- 00:16:33,424 --> 00:16:37,829
- My goal is to discern
- what I'm getting into
- 264
- 00:16:41,099 --> 00:16:42,968
- before I get into it.
- 265
- 00:16:45,169 --> 00:16:46,570
- Sister date.
- 266
- 00:16:46,572 --> 00:16:48,407
- Ideal.
- 267
- 00:17:17,836 --> 00:17:19,200
- You only visited once?
- 268
- 00:17:19,202 --> 00:17:20,469
- Maybe twice.
- 269
- 00:17:20,471 --> 00:17:22,471
- How do you even
- remember that?
- 270
- 00:17:22,473 --> 00:17:24,306
- I can barely remember that and
- I'm five years older than you.
- 271
- 00:17:24,308 --> 00:17:27,943
- Well, I remember that because
- you and your friends were
- 272
- 00:17:27,945 --> 00:17:30,680
- the greatest boys
- I'd ever laid eyes on.
- 273
- 00:17:30,682 --> 00:17:32,649
- American boys
- are such a novelty.
- 274
- 00:17:32,651 --> 00:17:34,717
- I couldn't wait to get home and
- tell my friends about you.
- 275
- 00:17:34,719 --> 00:17:36,119
- I'm sure the story
- was thoroughly exciting
- 276
- 00:17:36,121 --> 00:17:37,819
- and retold many a time
- over the years.
- 277
- 00:17:37,821 --> 00:17:39,189
- It was, actually.
- 278
- 00:17:39,191 --> 00:17:41,190
- My American stories
- were very popular.
- 279
- 00:17:41,192 --> 00:17:44,393
- It was Grand Canyon,
- Disneyland, and you.
- 280
- 00:17:44,395 --> 00:17:45,795
- Wow.
- 281
- 00:17:45,797 --> 00:17:48,064
- Me and the Grand Canyon.
- I'm flattered.
- 282
- 00:17:48,066 --> 00:17:50,766
- And what was the sport
- that you played again?
- 283
- 00:17:50,768 --> 00:17:52,567
- - Lacrosse.
- - Lacrosse, that's it!
- 284
- 00:17:52,569 --> 00:17:55,004
- You and your jock friends.
- 285
- 00:17:55,006 --> 00:17:57,172
- Cutest boys I'd ever seen
- 286
- 00:17:57,174 --> 00:17:59,109
- in America.
- 287
- 00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,611
- Key distinction, "In America."
- You had better ones at home.
- 288
- 00:18:01,613 --> 00:18:05,248
- Yeah, but, you know, they wanted
- to play AFL and not lacrosse.
- 289
- 00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:06,548
- Hmm.
- 290
- 00:18:08,353 --> 00:18:11,053
- My mum is going to be really
- happy that we found one another.
- 291
- 00:18:11,055 --> 00:18:13,055
- Mine, too. Mine, too.
- 292
- 00:18:13,057 --> 00:18:15,892
- You didn't have to do it within, what,
- three days of getting here, though.
- 293
- 00:18:15,894 --> 00:18:18,427
- Well, what else
- was I gonna do?
- 294
- 00:18:18,429 --> 00:18:21,131
- Yeah, sure, okay.
- 295
- 00:18:21,133 --> 00:18:23,865
- What, um...
- What does your wife do?
- 296
- 00:18:23,867 --> 00:18:26,902
- Uh, a few years ago,
- I started a sound studio.
- 297
- 00:18:26,904 --> 00:18:31,373
- We mix, record,
- engineer, everything.
- 298
- 00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,176
- And we hired a young,
- 299
- 00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:34,844
- efficient girl to come
- in and run the place,
- 300
- 00:18:34,846 --> 00:18:36,278
- so later I married her.
- 301
- 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,082
- That's the long version.
- 302
- 00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:41,351
- So you work together, then?
- 303
- 00:18:41,353 --> 00:18:45,086
- Yeah. Well, we spend a lot
- of time around one another.
- 304
- 00:18:45,088 --> 00:18:46,956
- Well, you're her boss.
- 305
- 00:18:46,958 --> 00:18:48,423
- Who's the Boss?
- 306
- 00:18:48,425 --> 00:18:51,126
- Do you have that show?
- Hell of a program.
- 307
- 00:18:51,128 --> 00:18:53,028
- No. I've never seen that show.
- 308
- 00:18:53,030 --> 00:18:54,463
- We had very limited
- 309
- 00:18:54,465 --> 00:18:55,866
- telly options
- when I was growing up.
- 310
- 00:18:56,999 --> 00:18:57,432
- "Telly"?
- 311
- 00:18:57,434 --> 00:18:59,936
- Oh, fuck, we're gonna need
- a translator.
- 312
- 00:18:59,938 --> 00:19:02,639
- Is anybody here a translator?
- 313
- 00:19:02,641 --> 00:19:05,141
- I bet they don't hear that call
- to duty as often as doctors do.
- 314
- 00:19:05,143 --> 00:19:07,009
- Is there a translator in the premises?
- 315
- 00:19:07,011 --> 00:19:09,312
- I got a girl here and she is
- trying to tell me something.
- 316
- 00:19:09,314 --> 00:19:12,148
- I don't understand
- what it is.
- 317
- 00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:15,151
- So, how many times
- am I gonna be able
- 318
- 00:19:15,153 --> 00:19:20,256
- to milk the mother's favors before
- you stop hanging out with me
- 319
- 00:19:20,258 --> 00:19:23,426
- by virtue of guilt
- and obligation?
- 320
- 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:26,895
- Two more, but one of them can be me
- introducing you to other people.
- 321
- 00:19:26,897 --> 00:19:28,998
- Some of the other guys from
- work, if you're interested.
- 322
- 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,633
- I don't know where your
- head's at during this trip.
- 323
- 00:19:31,635 --> 00:19:34,639
- Oh, my head is interested
- during this trip.
- 324
- 00:19:36,273 --> 00:19:38,209
- I'll keep that one in mind.
- 325
- 00:20:16,314 --> 00:20:18,514
- You're back late.
- 326
- 00:20:18,516 --> 00:20:21,718
- Yeah, Sam had this big
- saga playing out with her boss.
- 327
- 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,121
- Who doesn't?
- 328
- 00:20:28,526 --> 00:20:30,860
- - Did you finish the mix?
- - I did.
- 329
- 00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:32,795
- They're gonna come
- get it tomorrow.
- 330
- 00:20:32,797 --> 00:20:35,231
- How was, um,
- what's-her-face?
- 331
- 00:20:35,233 --> 00:20:37,365
- Naomi? She's cool.
- I don't know.
- 332
- 00:20:37,367 --> 00:20:39,568
- What do you say to someone you
- haven't seen since you were 15
- 333
- 00:20:39,570 --> 00:20:42,073
- and had no idea even existed
- until a week ago?
- 334
- 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,373
- So what did you say?
- 335
- 00:20:44,375 --> 00:20:47,376
- - Hmm?
- - What did you guys talk about?
- 336
- 00:20:47,378 --> 00:20:49,578
- Boring stuff. I was only
- there for a little.
- 337
- 00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:51,748
- It took me a while
- to finish things up anyway.
- 338
- 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:53,716
- She's fine. She's young.
- 339
- 00:20:53,718 --> 00:20:56,384
- I don't really know how to talk
- to people younger than me.
- 340
- 00:20:56,386 --> 00:20:58,854
- Except for you.
- 341
- 00:20:58,856 --> 00:21:03,625
- I don't know if three years is
- really a valid age distinction.
- 342
- 00:21:03,627 --> 00:21:06,528
- What have you been up to
- since you got back?
- 343
- 00:21:06,530 --> 00:21:09,565
- Drinking some beer,
- listening to some records.
- 344
- 00:21:09,567 --> 00:21:11,936
- Also I called my mom,
- got credit for my good deed.
- 345
- 00:21:13,238 --> 00:21:15,071
- What a good, good guy you are.
- 346
- 00:21:15,073 --> 00:21:18,641
- That's what I'm always saying,
- but nobody ever listens to me.
- 347
- 00:21:18,643 --> 00:21:21,012
- I listen. I believe you.
- 348
- 00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,919
- Thanks for
- meeting me here.
- 349
- 00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,523
- Field trip a-okay.
- 350
- 00:22:05,589 --> 00:22:08,257
- Oh, hey, man.
- 351
- 00:22:08,259 --> 00:22:10,625
- How long ago did you
- start working on this?
- 352
- 00:22:10,627 --> 00:22:12,694
- Three years.
- It's a long time coming.
- 353
- 00:22:12,696 --> 00:22:14,930
- Wow. Yeah.
- Oh, this is Naomi.
- 354
- 00:22:14,932 --> 00:22:17,365
- She's working with me on my
- dead father-in-law's shit.
- 355
- 00:22:17,367 --> 00:22:22,638
- This is Mike. He put the whole
- donation to this place together.
- 356
- 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,940
- So the work we're about to
- see, the guy, the filmmaker,
- 357
- 00:22:25,942 --> 00:22:27,543
- before he was a filmmaker,
- 358
- 00:22:27,545 --> 00:22:30,179
- he had some photograph published
- in Timothy's magazine,
- 359
- 00:22:30,181 --> 00:22:32,581
- so that's why
- we're here.
- 360
- 00:22:32,583 --> 00:22:33,552
- Cool.
- 361
- 00:22:35,019 --> 00:22:36,121
- Cool.
- 362
- 00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:49,491
- - I see no happiness in them.
- - Huh.
- 363
- 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.
- 364
- 00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:56,899
- She's always been a liar.
- She was a liar
- 365
- 00:23:56,901 --> 00:23:59,701
- even when she was young.
- 366
- 00:23:59,703 --> 00:24:01,938
- Are you telling me
- you can't tell
- 367
- 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:05,141
- that Nick's
- a deeply unhappy man?
- 368
- 00:24:05,143 --> 00:24:08,576
- I'm not sure. I don't
- really know him that well.
- 369
- 00:24:08,578 --> 00:24:10,779
- This is why I thought it would
- be best for us to talk.
- 370
- 00:24:10,781 --> 00:24:13,815
- I don't want him poisoning
- your mind thoroughly.
- 371
- 00:24:13,817 --> 00:24:15,084
- I don't think
- he's doing that.
- 372
- 00:24:15,086 --> 00:24:16,986
- In a manner of speaking.
- 373
- 00:24:16,988 --> 00:24:21,090
- The normal existence of him
- and my sister
- 374
- 00:24:21,092 --> 00:24:22,926
- makes me lose my appetite.
- 375
- 00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:26,161
- You're lucky I was able to keep
- it under control the other night
- 376
- 00:24:26,163 --> 00:24:29,701
- or I would have been sick
- right there at the table.
- 377
- 00:24:30,434 --> 00:24:32,168
- I love Alyssa.
- 378
- 00:24:32,170 --> 00:24:35,170
- But I told her 10 years ago
- that I thought
- 379
- 00:24:35,172 --> 00:24:36,940
- getting married was foolish
- 380
- 00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:40,945
- and though
- I guess Nick is fine,
- 381
- 00:24:42,980 --> 00:24:48,049
- I'll never not suspect that she
- was reacting to our father.
- 382
- 00:24:48,051 --> 00:24:52,488
- I'm sorry. I didn't bring you over here
- to unload and then interrogate you.
- 383
- 00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:54,590
- No. No, it's great.
- 384
- 00:24:54,592 --> 00:24:57,092
- I think Nick wanted
- to eat lunch alone anyway.
- 385
- 00:24:57,094 --> 00:24:58,794
- Oh, of course he did.
- 386
- 00:24:58,796 --> 00:25:00,595
- What a loser he can be.
- 387
- 00:25:00,597 --> 00:25:02,264
- Oh, it's all right.
- I kind of like him.
- 388
- 00:25:02,266 --> 00:25:04,100
- Give it time.
- 389
- 00:25:04,102 --> 00:25:07,370
- You'll see soon enough, if you
- haven't already, that he's weak.
- 390
- 00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:09,371
- It's okay.
- Most people are.
- 391
- 00:25:09,373 --> 00:25:11,142
- Especially men.
- 392
- 00:25:12,277 --> 00:25:15,044
- My husband was weak.
- 393
- 00:25:15,046 --> 00:25:16,179
- Got rid of him.
- 394
- 00:25:16,181 --> 00:25:18,447
- You never wanted to remarry?
- 395
- 00:25:18,449 --> 00:25:20,215
- Please.
- 396
- 00:25:20,217 --> 00:25:23,018
- I think my father
- wanted an heir.
- 397
- 00:25:23,020 --> 00:25:28,658
- Probably that's what pushed Aly into Nick.
- Or Nick into Aly, more accurately.
- 398
- 00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:30,526
- But what do I know?
- 399
- 00:25:30,528 --> 00:25:35,029
- I just didn't want a
- god-awful, stifling home life.
- 400
- 00:25:35,031 --> 00:25:37,165
- Yeah.
- 401
- 00:25:37,167 --> 00:25:40,603
- Yeah, I think I feel
- drawn towards...
- 402
- 00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:44,305
- - I don't wanna say "not settling down."
- - Exactly. Exactly.
- 403
- 00:25:44,307 --> 00:25:46,709
- You get it.
- 404
- 00:25:46,711 --> 00:25:49,344
- It's just hearing you,
- call it what you will,
- 405
- 00:25:49,346 --> 00:25:52,480
- but a young,
- beautiful woman
- 406
- 00:25:52,482 --> 00:25:54,653
- who understands
- 407
- 00:25:56,221 --> 00:25:58,853
- that the option is there
- to just say "fuck it"
- 408
- 00:25:58,855 --> 00:26:00,855
- actually gives me hope
- for the future.
- 409
- 00:26:00,857 --> 00:26:02,891
- Be your own woman.
- 410
- 00:26:02,893 --> 00:26:05,827
- Don't let anybody talk you out of it.
- Let me talk you into it.
- 411
- 00:26:05,829 --> 00:26:07,796
- That sounds great.
- 412
- 00:26:07,798 --> 00:26:10,266
- Aly chose a lifestyle.
- 413
- 00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:15,203
- I devoted my life to continuing
- our father's work and legacy.
- 414
- 00:26:15,205 --> 00:26:18,642
- You tell me which
- is the more admirable
- 415
- 00:26:19,210 --> 00:26:20,312
- choice.
- 416
- 00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:24,680
- I just felt that
- she suppressed
- 417
- 00:26:24,682 --> 00:26:26,615
- the woman
- she was meant to be
- 418
- 00:26:26,617 --> 00:26:29,584
- in order to be the woman
- she wanted to be.
- 419
- 00:26:29,586 --> 00:26:32,455
- - Does that make sense?
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 420
- 00:26:32,457 --> 00:26:36,758
- A woman devoted to work and
- a strong sense of ambition
- 421
- 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,063
- and a healthy sexual appetite
- isn't something to be ashamed of.
- 422
- 00:26:41,065 --> 00:26:43,399
- You're on
- the right track.
- 423
- 00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:47,603
- If it wasn't obvious from the way Nick
- was staring at you all through dinner,
- 424
- 00:26:47,605 --> 00:26:49,872
- I would have figured it out the
- minute you opened your mouth.
- 425
- 00:26:49,874 --> 00:26:51,206
- Good on you.
- 426
- 00:26:51,208 --> 00:26:53,508
- I don't think
- he was staring at me.
- 427
- 00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:55,411
- Oh, yes, he was.
- 428
- 00:26:55,413 --> 00:26:57,747
- Nick's been a bad boy
- in the past,
- 429
- 00:26:57,749 --> 00:27:00,615
- not recently,
- that I know of.
- 430
- 00:27:00,617 --> 00:27:03,251
- Though I don't think Aly's
- been completely honest
- 431
- 00:27:03,253 --> 00:27:05,086
- with me about that anymore.
- 432
- 00:27:05,088 --> 00:27:06,622
- It's ancient history.
- 433
- 00:27:06,624 --> 00:27:10,926
- But it took them years
- to find a path back to being
- 434
- 00:27:10,928 --> 00:27:12,197
- normalish.
- 435
- 00:27:13,397 --> 00:27:15,296
- How long are you here for?
- 436
- 00:27:15,298 --> 00:27:18,167
- Um, just a few months.
- 437
- 00:27:18,169 --> 00:27:20,569
- Promise me you'll make
- the most of it.
- 438
- 00:27:20,571 --> 00:27:22,770
- Make the most of it how?
- 439
- 00:27:22,772 --> 00:27:23,940
- How old are you?
- 440
- 00:27:23,942 --> 00:27:25,641
- Twenty-five.
- 441
- 00:27:26,844 --> 00:27:29,713
- Twenty-five-year-old
- piece of gold.
- 442
- 00:27:32,316 --> 00:27:35,950
- Fuck your way through
- this city like I did.
- 443
- 00:27:35,952 --> 00:27:40,823
- Then you won't have to deal with
- the shame of living in it forever.
- 444
- 00:27:40,825 --> 00:27:43,659
- Everybody thinks it's
- so easy to be all alone
- 445
- 00:27:43,661 --> 00:27:46,428
- and young and beautiful.
- 446
- 00:27:46,430 --> 00:27:47,532
- I was.
- 447
- 00:27:48,165 --> 00:27:50,132
- Like you.
- 448
- 00:27:50,134 --> 00:27:53,101
- Maybe even more so.
- 449
- 00:27:53,103 --> 00:27:54,305
- No offense meant.
- 450
- 00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:21,863
- It's just...
- 451
- 00:28:24,902 --> 00:28:27,038
- You really
- don't get lonely?
- 452
- 00:28:28,071 --> 00:28:30,338
- I... I don't get lonely?
- 453
- 00:28:30,340 --> 00:28:34,977
- Yeah. I mean not like in life.
- Like here, at work.
- 454
- 00:28:34,979 --> 00:28:37,048
- Do you get lonely
- in here?
- 455
- 00:28:38,082 --> 00:28:39,384
- No. I...
- 456
- 00:28:41,719 --> 00:28:43,818
- When I meet somebody,
- you know,
- 457
- 00:28:43,820 --> 00:28:47,823
- when they or their family
- brings me in to begin the work,
- 458
- 00:28:47,825 --> 00:28:49,392
- I am the grim reaper.
- 459
- 00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,459
- Do you understand?
- 460
- 00:28:51,461 --> 00:28:53,362
- I'm the last new person
- 461
- 00:28:53,364 --> 00:28:57,165
- someone forms a meaningful
- relationship with before they die.
- 462
- 00:28:57,167 --> 00:29:00,838
- That's if, obviously, they
- bring me in before they die.
- 463
- 00:29:02,172 --> 00:29:04,006
- In any event, it's...
- 464
- 00:29:04,008 --> 00:29:07,375
- It's the children that
- make my life miserable.
- 465
- 00:29:07,377 --> 00:29:10,711
- You understand? Like
- Gwen, my sister-in-law.
- 466
- 00:29:10,713 --> 00:29:13,849
- She verges on this.
- She's...
- 467
- 00:29:13,851 --> 00:29:16,719
- She's duplicitous.
- She's a liar.
- 468
- 00:29:16,721 --> 00:29:19,787
- And I don't believe anything
- that comes out of her mouth.
- 469
- 00:29:19,789 --> 00:29:20,892
- Huh.
- 470
- 00:29:22,058 --> 00:29:25,693
- What did you think of her?
- 471
- 00:29:25,695 --> 00:29:29,931
- Well, I don't know. I don't know.
- I just met her that one time.
- 472
- 00:29:29,933 --> 00:29:31,632
- Yeah, well,
- 473
- 00:29:31,634 --> 00:29:34,103
- she's a real nuisance
- to myself and Alyssa.
- 474
- 00:29:34,105 --> 00:29:36,738
- Actually, we've been
- longing for a day
- 475
- 00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:39,941
- where she's less of a presence
- in our lives. It's like...
- 476
- 00:29:39,943 --> 00:29:42,111
- She carries on this
- judgment of Timothy that
- 477
- 00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:44,078
- Alyssa's been trying
- to get away from for years
- 478
- 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,151
- and now it just like carries
- on in this new face.
- 479
- 00:29:50,054 --> 00:29:52,086
- Never mind.
- 480
- 00:29:52,088 --> 00:29:55,891
- It doesn't matter because
- I have no opinion on it.
- 481
- 00:29:55,893 --> 00:29:57,926
- No, not at all.
- 482
- 00:29:57,928 --> 00:29:59,564
- Yeah, um...
- 483
- 00:30:01,132 --> 00:30:03,134
- - Let me get back to work.
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 484
- 00:30:07,704 --> 00:30:09,072
- These are...
- 485
- 00:30:42,105 --> 00:30:44,039
- - Don't do that.
- - Easy, man.
- 486
- 00:30:44,041 --> 00:30:46,208
- I thought you heard me
- coming in.
- 487
- 00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:49,010
- Hello. I didn't know anyone
- was going to be here.
- 488
- 00:30:49,012 --> 00:30:51,947
- Yeah, Greg, this is Naomi. She
- just started working with me.
- 489
- 00:30:51,949 --> 00:30:53,347
- Nice to meet you.
- 490
- 00:30:53,349 --> 00:30:55,917
- - That is a beautiful accent.
- - Thanks.
- 491
- 00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:58,586
- Let me guess
- where it's from.
- 492
- 00:30:58,588 --> 00:30:59,787
- New Zealand?
- 493
- 00:30:59,789 --> 00:31:02,024
- - Uh, Australia, actually.
- - Argh.
- 494
- 00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:04,994
- I've never been. I'm thinking of going.
- Should I go?
- 495
- 00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,928
- Yeah, sure,
- if you want to.
- 496
- 00:31:06,930 --> 00:31:09,197
- How's the surfing? We've always
- wanted to learn to surf.
- 497
- 00:31:09,199 --> 00:31:10,833
- Um...
- 498
- 00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:12,601
- I don't know,
- it's not really my thing.
- 499
- 00:31:12,603 --> 00:31:14,969
- But I hear it's lovely,
- apparently.
- 500
- 00:31:14,971 --> 00:31:17,672
- Greg, what are you
- doing here?
- 501
- 00:31:17,674 --> 00:31:19,674
- Ah, just passing by.
- 502
- 00:31:19,676 --> 00:31:21,543
- Everything's all set
- for tonight.
- 503
- 00:31:21,545 --> 00:31:22,614
- What's tonight?
- 504
- 00:31:23,347 --> 00:31:24,645
- Oh...
- 505
- 00:31:24,647 --> 00:31:26,248
- Today's my birthday.
- 506
- 00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:27,915
- What? Happy birthday.
- 507
- 00:31:27,917 --> 00:31:29,718
- Yeah, it's not a big deal.
- 508
- 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,886
- Oh, he's wrong.
- It's a huge deal.
- 509
- 00:31:31,888 --> 00:31:34,757
- We're throwing
- a little celebration.
- 510
- 00:31:34,759 --> 00:31:39,661
- - You're invited.
- - No, she's not invited, Greg.
- 511
- 00:31:39,663 --> 00:31:42,363
- I thought you said it was a
- night with the fellas tonight?
- 512
- 00:31:42,365 --> 00:31:45,167
- Yeah, and what better way of
- celebrating with the fellas
- 513
- 00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:47,102
- than having
- a beautiful woman?
- 514
- 00:31:47,104 --> 00:31:49,939
- - Even the Rat Pack had Shirley MacLaine.
- - Don't say "Rat Pack."
- 515
- 00:31:49,941 --> 00:31:52,908
- I just, I don't understand
- why you're here.
- 516
- 00:31:52,910 --> 00:31:55,009
- I can see you're not excited
- about tonight.
- 517
- 00:31:55,011 --> 00:31:57,078
- No, I'm excited about tonight. I'm
- just, obviously, I'm working...
- 518
- 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,546
- Try to do something nice
- for your buddy...
- 519
- 00:31:58,548 --> 00:32:01,019
- Don't be a sissy, man, okay?
- Just... We're at work!
- 520
- 00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:05,723
- Bye.
- 521
- 00:32:12,229 --> 00:32:16,664
- I'm sorry. My friends just can
- be kind of irritating sometimes.
- 522
- 00:32:16,666 --> 00:32:18,267
- No, he seemed great.
- 523
- 00:32:18,269 --> 00:32:20,436
- Yeah, well...
- 524
- 00:32:20,438 --> 00:32:23,738
- You haven't been in New York long
- enough if you think Greg is great.
- 525
- 00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:25,373
- He's your friend,
- though, right?
- 526
- 00:32:25,375 --> 00:32:28,309
- Yeah, he's my friend.
- 527
- 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.
- 528
- 00:32:33,083 --> 00:32:34,650
- No, no.
- I think I understand.
- 529
- 00:32:34,652 --> 00:32:37,188
- This is your space.
- 530
- 00:32:38,221 --> 00:32:39,324
- Exactly.
- 531
- 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:41,422
- Yeah.
- 532
- 00:32:41,424 --> 00:32:44,558
- So, um, will Gwen
- and Alyssa go tonight?
- 533
- 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,764
- No, no, no,
- it's a night with the fellas.
- 534
- 00:32:48,766 --> 00:32:52,234
- It's just gonna be a bunch of dads.
- It's not going to be exciting.
- 535
- 00:32:52,236 --> 00:32:54,937
- Greg is the only one who
- expects it or wants it to be.
- 536
- 00:32:54,939 --> 00:32:56,371
- Hmm.
- 537
- 00:32:56,373 --> 00:32:58,643
- Why don't you
- and Alyssa have kids?
- 538
- 00:33:00,309 --> 00:33:02,311
- Sorry.
- 539
- 00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:03,612
- That's not an appropriate question.
- It's none of my business.
- 540
- 00:33:03,614 --> 00:33:05,581
- It's a common question.
- 541
- 00:33:05,583 --> 00:33:09,418
- And once you turn 40, you'll
- get asked it every few weeks.
- 542
- 00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,751
- I mean, unless
- you have kids already
- 543
- 00:33:10,753 --> 00:33:13,490
- and then they'll ask you
- some other question.
- 544
- 00:33:14,958 --> 00:33:16,694
- Look, I'm sorry, if...
- 545
- 00:33:18,229 --> 00:33:19,928
- If you want to come tonight,
- of course you can come.
- 546
- 00:33:19,930 --> 00:33:22,564
- It just really is
- just gonna be a bunch of dads
- 547
- 00:33:22,566 --> 00:33:25,468
- and a couple of assholes in
- the form of Greg and myself.
- 548
- 00:33:25,470 --> 00:33:27,836
- Well, I don't know
- about that but, um,
- 549
- 00:33:27,838 --> 00:33:30,939
- I mean, if I'm going to be
- the only...
- 550
- 00:33:30,941 --> 00:33:33,275
- Like if Alyssa's
- not even coming,
- 551
- 00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:36,413
- then I don't think it would be
- very decent of me to show up.
- 552
- 00:33:50,361 --> 00:33:55,029
- Do you know if Sam sent
- him anything for his birthday?
- 553
- 00:33:55,031 --> 00:33:57,932
- He said he didn't want
- to do anything.
- 554
- 00:33:57,934 --> 00:34:00,768
- Now somehow he has this
- night out with the guys?
- 555
- 00:34:00,770 --> 00:34:03,805
- I wasn't invited.
- 556
- 00:34:03,807 --> 00:34:08,142
- We'll do something later
- over the weekend, maybe.
- 557
- 00:34:08,144 --> 00:34:11,646
- We've never really been into
- that kind of thing anyway.
- 558
- 00:34:11,648 --> 00:34:13,849
- Ten years ago, we would have
- forced some sort of effort.
- 559
- 00:34:13,851 --> 00:34:15,318
- A weekend trip?
- 560
- 00:34:17,855 --> 00:34:20,389
- I don't quite recall
- when we stopped bothering.
- 561
- 00:34:20,391 --> 00:34:22,360
- Funny, it just happens.
- 562
- 00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:28,863
- How are things going
- with Nick and Dad's stuff?
- 563
- 00:34:28,865 --> 00:34:30,902
- He doesn't talk about it?
- 564
- 00:34:31,735 --> 00:34:33,637
- Good.
- 565
- 00:34:34,237 --> 00:34:35,938
- I guess.
- 566
- 00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:39,374
- But you know, I thought we
- should have hired someone else.
- 567
- 00:34:39,376 --> 00:34:42,744
- I just... I mean it would have
- been cleaner outside the family.
- 568
- 00:34:42,746 --> 00:34:44,449
- But he's doing fine.
- 569
- 00:34:46,918 --> 00:34:49,420
- He must talk
- about it sometimes.
- 570
- 00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:54,722
- Everything's moving.
- 571
- 00:34:54,724 --> 00:34:58,061
- He's had offers for a job
- or two once this wraps.
- 572
- 00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,731
- I think we decided not to
- 573
- 00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:06,068
- blabber on over
- 574
- 00:35:06,070 --> 00:35:11,440
- endless nonsense regarding what
- is, might, or could be going on.
- 575
- 00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:16,744
- You lose the ability to feign interest
- in those things after a decade or so.
- 576
- 00:35:16,746 --> 00:35:18,280
- I think I appreciate
- his restraint.
- 577
- 00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:19,784
- I hope he does mine.
- 578
- 00:35:24,121 --> 00:35:25,990
- Happy birthday to Nick.
- 579
- 00:35:31,461 --> 00:35:33,561
- There are
- irrelevant tasks
- 580
- 00:35:33,563 --> 00:35:36,097
- and I'm okay with a mild
- amount of tedious tasks,
- 581
- 00:35:36,099 --> 00:35:38,934
- but birthday shopping
- for in-laws
- 582
- 00:35:38,936 --> 00:35:41,135
- should cross the line,
- right?
- 583
- 00:35:41,137 --> 00:35:43,473
- I wouldn't know.
- Maybe, yes?
- 584
- 00:35:44,340 --> 00:35:46,742
- I should give notice.
- 585
- 00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:48,646
- I will give notice.
- 586
- 00:35:50,813 --> 00:35:52,113
- Cut-your-losses situation.
- 587
- 00:35:52,115 --> 00:35:54,650
- I should cut my losses.
- 588
- 00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:59,490
- I wanted to be upward. Instead I
- am a glorified personal assistant.
- 589
- 00:36:01,525 --> 00:36:03,992
- I look at women like her,
- 590
- 00:36:03,994 --> 00:36:07,929
- we do, our age does,
- and what should we see?
- 591
- 00:36:07,931 --> 00:36:11,300
- Aspirational ideals.
- 592
- 00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:13,604
- Examples of a lifestyle that
- 593
- 00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:16,637
- you believe in.
- 594
- 00:36:16,639 --> 00:36:18,009
- So she is
- 595
- 00:36:18,976 --> 00:36:20,175
- unmarried.
- 596
- 00:36:20,177 --> 00:36:21,275
- That's great, right?
- 597
- 00:36:21,277 --> 00:36:22,679
- And you
- 598
- 00:36:24,148 --> 00:36:25,445
- are married.
- 599
- 00:36:25,447 --> 00:36:27,851
- Also great, right?
- 600
- 00:36:29,152 --> 00:36:32,420
- I don't want to feel
- adrift in some
- 601
- 00:36:32,422 --> 00:36:34,789
- nebulous middle ground.
- 602
- 00:36:34,791 --> 00:36:36,557
- Where am I?
- 603
- 00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:38,429
- Okay? So...
- 604
- 00:36:39,528 --> 00:36:40,898
- Where am I?
- 605
- 00:36:41,831 --> 00:36:42,833
- Not
- 606
- 00:36:45,001 --> 00:36:47,938
- early-30s, not 40s, just
- 607
- 00:36:50,474 --> 00:36:53,878
- wasteland in the middle.
- 608
- 00:36:57,813 --> 00:37:00,951
- Heavy-handed and dramatic,
- minus five points.
- 609
- 00:37:03,653 --> 00:37:07,054
- What a delight it must be to
- function as my sole outlet
- 610
- 00:37:07,056 --> 00:37:09,858
- for a never-ending barrage
- of introspective blather
- 611
- 00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:11,726
- regarding the choices
- that I've made.
- 612
- 00:37:11,728 --> 00:37:14,764
- I didn't know I had a choice.
- Do I have a choice?
- 613
- 00:37:21,403 --> 00:37:22,773
- I should go.
- 614
- 00:37:24,074 --> 00:37:25,340
- When is Buddy coming back?
- 615
- 00:37:25,342 --> 00:37:27,508
- Stay. He's gonna
- be gone a little while.
- 616
- 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:29,309
- Where is he?
- 617
- 00:37:29,311 --> 00:37:31,079
- Um...
- 618
- 00:37:31,081 --> 00:37:34,081
- A friend
- of a friend's birthday?
- 619
- 00:37:34,083 --> 00:37:36,717
- I don't know.
- He was scant on the details.
- 620
- 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,456
- You sure he's not out
- with what's-her-face?
- 621
- 00:37:42,092 --> 00:37:44,358
- Why would you say that?
- 622
- 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,095
- All right, so I show up
- at the kid's office here.
- 623
- 00:37:47,097 --> 00:37:49,764
- First of all, he reacts
- like an asshole.
- 624
- 00:37:49,766 --> 00:37:52,400
- Second of all, he's acting like
- I'm interrupting his nap time.
- 625
- 00:37:52,402 --> 00:37:55,103
- - I did not reach like an asshole.
- - "React." "React."
- 626
- 00:37:55,105 --> 00:37:56,771
- Does anybody like
- being startled at work?
- 627
- 00:37:56,773 --> 00:37:58,238
- I have headphones on!
- 628
- 00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,075
- So he is employing now
- this very beautiful,
- 629
- 00:38:01,077 --> 00:38:03,445
- young, ripe, delicious...
- 630
- 00:38:03,447 --> 00:38:05,579
- This is a human being
- we are talking about, okay?
- 631
- 00:38:05,581 --> 00:38:07,115
- Whatever.
- Where is she from again?
- 632
- 00:38:07,117 --> 00:38:09,050
- - She's from Australia.
- - She's this Australian girl.
- 633
- 00:38:09,052 --> 00:38:10,851
- So he has this little
- Australian girl,
- 634
- 00:38:10,853 --> 00:38:12,387
- she looks like
- a trapped princess,
- 635
- 00:38:12,389 --> 00:38:14,423
- and he looks like
- a fucking ogre!
- 636
- 00:38:14,425 --> 00:38:17,525
- That's an absurd exaggeration
- of what was going on.
- 637
- 00:38:17,527 --> 00:38:18,959
- Look, I got her number
- all figured out.
- 638
- 00:38:18,961 --> 00:38:20,961
- - Yo, Jessie, shots.
- - She's the young type.
- 639
- 00:38:20,963 --> 00:38:24,599
- She's the poisonous girl who exudes
- sweetness, but she's dangerous.
- 640
- 00:38:24,601 --> 00:38:26,400
- She's like a fang
- dripping with honey.
- 641
- 00:38:26,402 --> 00:38:29,204
- She's the death trap
- to losers.
- 642
- 00:38:29,206 --> 00:38:30,572
- - Like us.
- - Dude, speak for yourself.
- 643
- 00:38:30,574 --> 00:38:32,307
- You can lie to yourself
- all you want.
- 644
- 00:38:32,309 --> 00:38:34,608
- You put this girl in a room
- with any man
- 645
- 00:38:34,610 --> 00:38:36,110
- only one thing
- that's gonna happen.
- 646
- 00:38:36,112 --> 00:38:39,648
- Yeah, work, research
- and a proper database.
- 647
- 00:38:39,650 --> 00:38:41,682
- And we're building
- a chronology for...
- 648
- 00:38:41,684 --> 00:38:42,916
- Wrong again!
- 649
- 00:38:42,918 --> 00:38:45,253
- - Here we go.
- - I hate them.
- 650
- 00:38:45,255 --> 00:38:46,820
- Dude, you gotta see
- my new piece.
- 651
- 00:38:46,822 --> 00:38:48,690
- She's got the most
- luscious cooter.
- 652
- 00:38:48,692 --> 00:38:50,825
- And Nick, of course,
- 653
- 00:38:50,827 --> 00:38:55,597
- has never lost a battle of the
- wills in circumstances like these.
- 654
- 00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:59,800
- Treacherous,
- marriage-destroying...
- 655
- 00:38:59,802 --> 00:39:01,936
- - Happy birthday, Nicky boy.
- - Yes, we get it.
- 656
- 00:39:01,938 --> 00:39:04,338
- You guys are lousy friends and
- this is not a fun birthday.
- 657
- 00:39:04,340 --> 00:39:06,508
- - That's not fair.
- - Oh, shit, that's Buddy!
- 658
- 00:39:06,510 --> 00:39:08,543
- Dude, I invited a couple dudes over here.
- Hope that's okay.
- 659
- 00:39:08,545 --> 00:39:11,311
- Buddy, get in here, you!
- 660
- 00:39:11,313 --> 00:39:12,813
- So these are the guys.
- 661
- 00:39:12,815 --> 00:39:14,416
- - You got Jake here...
- - I'm Buddy.
- 662
- 00:39:14,418 --> 00:39:15,918
- Nicky boy,
- turn around.
- 663
- 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,019
- This is my friend, Buddy.
- Buddy, Nick. Nick, Buddy.
- 664
- 00:39:18,021 --> 00:39:19,521
- - Buddy?
- - It's short for "Arthur."
- 665
- 00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:20,856
- - Like the movie.
- - How does that work?
- 666
- 00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:22,356
- It doesn't.
- It's just always been.
- 667
- 00:39:26,762 --> 00:39:28,195
- Let me catch you up here.
- 668
- 00:39:28,197 --> 00:39:31,365
- Nick here has employed
- this really beautiful girl.
- 669
- 00:39:31,367 --> 00:39:35,672
- And they work side by side
- in a very tiny office. Phew.
- 670
- 00:39:37,206 --> 00:39:38,840
- Any fun?
- 671
- 00:39:38,842 --> 00:39:41,175
- A situation
- not to be trusted.
- 672
- 00:39:41,177 --> 00:39:43,077
- Well, I did that once
- and I married her.
- 673
- 00:39:43,079 --> 00:39:44,579
- See? Buddy gets it!
- 674
- 00:39:44,581 --> 00:39:46,847
- I'm not marrying her.
- I'm already married.
- 675
- 00:39:46,849 --> 00:39:49,316
- - It's different, I'm sure.
- - It's very different.
- 676
- 00:39:49,318 --> 00:39:51,418
- What a power addiction
- it is, though. I get it.
- 677
- 00:39:51,420 --> 00:39:53,588
- Like because you wield
- some authority
- 678
- 00:39:53,590 --> 00:39:55,389
- and you could hire them,
- 679
- 00:39:55,391 --> 00:39:56,358
- you could force them to be
- around you all the time.
- 680
- 00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,092
- That's not
- why I hired her.
- 681
- 00:39:58,094 --> 00:40:00,162
- - What's her name?
- - I hired her sight unseen, okay?
- 682
- 00:40:00,164 --> 00:40:02,162
- She sent in her CV and she
- was the most qualified...
- 683
- 00:40:02,164 --> 00:40:05,233
- Gimme a break! You hire
- a 25-year-old foreign girl.
- 684
- 00:40:05,235 --> 00:40:07,202
- - Of course she's the most qualified!
- - She's foreign?
- 685
- 00:40:07,204 --> 00:40:08,670
- Yeah, you knew exactly
- what you were doing.
- 686
- 00:40:08,672 --> 00:40:10,572
- - Call her.
- - No.
- 687
- 00:40:10,574 --> 00:40:12,474
- - No.
- - Call her. Call her.
- 688
- 00:40:12,476 --> 00:40:13,641
- Stop giving me
- a shoulder rub...
- 689
- 00:40:13,643 --> 00:40:15,010
- Karen, tell him
- to call her, please.
- 690
- 00:40:15,012 --> 00:40:16,144
- ...and stop talking
- about calling her.
- 691
- 00:40:16,146 --> 00:40:17,979
- - Look...
- - I ask for nothing.
- 692
- 00:40:17,981 --> 00:40:19,981
- - Please.
- - I'm not calling her! No.
- 693
- 00:40:19,983 --> 00:40:22,316
- All I want is a call.
- Do I ask for anything?
- 694
- 00:40:22,318 --> 00:40:25,019
- - I ask for so little.
- - Greg loves to talk on the phone.
- 695
- 00:40:25,021 --> 00:40:26,420
- Just a little talk
- on the phone.
- 696
- 00:40:26,422 --> 00:40:27,588
- Come on, Buddy, tell him.
- 697
- 00:40:27,590 --> 00:40:28,923
- Don't look at me.
- I'm a married man.
- 698
- 00:40:28,925 --> 00:40:30,391
- Yeah, me too.
- 699
- 00:40:30,393 --> 00:40:32,427
- Oh, come on, Buddy,
- you've been a bad boy!
- 700
- 00:40:32,429 --> 00:40:33,827
- The past is the past.
- 701
- 00:40:33,829 --> 00:40:35,362
- The past is the past.
- 702
- 00:40:35,364 --> 00:40:36,597
- Bad Buddy.
- 703
- 00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:38,566
- Are you serious?
- 704
- 00:40:38,568 --> 00:40:40,367
- Am I the only guy here that
- could still fuck a 20-year-old?
- 705
- 00:40:40,369 --> 00:40:42,103
- Those days
- are behind me.
- 706
- 00:40:42,105 --> 00:40:43,804
- Yeah, and me as well.
- 707
- 00:40:43,806 --> 00:40:45,975
- - The past is the past.
- - Yes, thank you.
- 708
- 00:40:47,777 --> 00:40:49,776
- It's a rotten sign
- of maturity right here.
- 709
- 00:40:49,778 --> 00:40:51,481
- Happy birthday, Nick.
- 710
- 00:41:44,067 --> 00:41:45,135
- Hello?
- 711
- 00:41:45,969 --> 00:41:47,538
- Uh, it's Nick here.
- 712
- 00:41:48,538 --> 00:41:50,804
- What are you doing here?
- 713
- 00:41:50,806 --> 00:41:53,141
- Today's my birthday.
- 714
- 00:41:53,143 --> 00:41:55,813
- Come down and wish me
- a happy birthday.
- 715
- 00:42:14,496 --> 00:42:16,366
- - Hi.
- - Hi.
- 716
- 00:42:17,132 --> 00:42:18,633
- Um...
- 717
- 00:42:18,635 --> 00:42:20,001
- Can I come in?
- 718
- 00:42:20,003 --> 00:42:22,573
- - Let me in.
- - Yeah. All right, sure.
- 719
- 00:42:35,818 --> 00:42:37,253
- One second.
- 720
- 00:42:43,492 --> 00:42:45,360
- Today's my birthday.
- 721
- 00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:46,628
- Yeah, I know.
- 722
- 00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:47,631
- Um...
- 723
- 00:42:51,101 --> 00:42:54,668
- You know, actually, I don't really
- think that you should be here.
- 724
- 00:42:54,670 --> 00:42:56,604
- That's silly.
- 725
- 00:42:56,606 --> 00:42:58,673
- You just made
- the decision to let me in
- 726
- 00:42:58,675 --> 00:43:00,575
- - a minute ago.
- - I did.
- 727
- 00:43:00,577 --> 00:43:04,381
- Yeah, but I've changed my mind,
- and I think you should go.
- 728
- 00:43:07,050 --> 00:43:12,052
- Um, because, you know, we still
- have weeks of work to do together
- 729
- 00:43:12,054 --> 00:43:14,521
- and I feel kind of...
- 730
- 00:43:14,523 --> 00:43:16,426
- And I mean, you live...
- 731
- 00:43:18,027 --> 00:43:19,360
- Um...
- 732
- 00:43:19,362 --> 00:43:22,697
- You live, like,
- just around the corner
- 733
- 00:43:22,699 --> 00:43:24,902
- with your wife, as you know.
- 734
- 00:43:26,036 --> 00:43:27,202
- Yeah.
- 735
- 00:43:27,204 --> 00:43:29,336
- I mean,
- 736
- 00:43:29,338 --> 00:43:31,273
- what if that
- was all different?
- 737
- 00:43:31,275 --> 00:43:33,708
- You know,
- I could fire you.
- 738
- 00:43:33,710 --> 00:43:35,376
- - We'd just be people.
- - Yeah.
- 739
- 00:43:35,378 --> 00:43:37,177
- You could fire me. Um...
- 740
- 00:43:37,179 --> 00:43:41,749
- But then I would lose my visa
- and I would have to go home.
- 741
- 00:43:41,751 --> 00:43:43,050
- That's not good.
- 742
- 00:43:43,052 --> 00:43:44,584
- Can't have that, so
- 743
- 00:43:44,586 --> 00:43:46,119
- you're unfired.
- 744
- 00:43:46,121 --> 00:43:47,390
- Great.
- 745
- 00:43:50,059 --> 00:43:54,364
- You know, this is just really not a
- path that I want to go down again.
- 746
- 00:43:56,233 --> 00:43:58,635
- Naomi, it's not a...
- 747
- 00:43:59,235 --> 00:44:00,300
- Naomi.
- 748
- 00:44:00,302 --> 00:44:02,637
- ♪ Naomi
- 749
- 00:44:02,639 --> 00:44:06,807
- ♪ You came and you gave
- without taking
- 750
- 00:44:06,809 --> 00:44:11,246
- ♪ But I sent you away, Naomi
- 751
- 00:44:11,248 --> 00:44:15,583
- ♪ You kissed me
- and stopped me from shaking
- 752
- 00:44:15,585 --> 00:44:18,787
- ♪ And I need you today,
- Naomi ♪
- 753
- 00:44:22,057 --> 00:44:23,494
- This is silly.
- 754
- 00:44:42,411 --> 00:44:44,412
- So Greg
- brought some people.
- 755
- 00:44:44,414 --> 00:44:48,816
- A couple of guys I don't know, but
- it was definitely no big deal.
- 756
- 00:44:48,818 --> 00:44:52,088
- No one's gonna tell
- any stories about tonight.
- 757
- 00:44:54,224 --> 00:44:55,559
- That's nice.
- 758
- 00:45:00,295 --> 00:45:01,564
- Okay.
- 759
- 00:47:26,376 --> 00:47:28,312
- Sorry I'm late.
- 760
- 00:47:30,847 --> 00:47:32,746
- I did a little drinking
- last night.
- 761
- 00:47:32,748 --> 00:47:34,815
- Everything's slow today,
- 762
- 00:47:34,817 --> 00:47:37,818
- including my acceptance of
- sudden surprise invitations.
- 763
- 00:47:37,820 --> 00:47:40,487
- My boss is hungover
- as well.
- 764
- 00:47:40,489 --> 00:47:42,155
- Hungover boss,
- very pathetic.
- 765
- 00:47:42,157 --> 00:47:43,490
- How old is this guy?
- 766
- 00:47:43,492 --> 00:47:44,925
- Early 40s.
- 767
- 00:47:44,927 --> 00:47:46,793
- Hell, no.
- 768
- 00:47:46,795 --> 00:47:49,831
- That is a sad age to still
- be incapable of moderation.
- 769
- 00:47:49,833 --> 00:47:53,434
- Oh, really, you've licked that
- problem already, have you?
- 770
- 00:47:53,436 --> 00:47:55,537
- There's a phrase you don't
- hear very much anymore.
- 771
- 00:47:55,539 --> 00:47:57,671
- Yes, I have licked
- that problem.
- 772
- 00:47:57,673 --> 00:48:00,907
- I may be slow,
- but I'm functional today.
- 773
- 00:48:00,909 --> 00:48:02,809
- It is Wednesday
- after all, right?
- 774
- 00:48:02,811 --> 00:48:07,382
- Well, thank you for showing
- up, whatever the reasons.
- 775
- 00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:11,151
- It's not like I have many other
- people clamoring for my company.
- 776
- 00:48:11,153 --> 00:48:13,354
- I wouldn't say
- I'm clamoring.
- 777
- 00:48:13,356 --> 00:48:14,791
- Clam... Clamoring.
- 778
- 00:48:17,492 --> 00:48:19,128
- Does your wife clamor?
- 779
- 00:48:21,597 --> 00:48:23,200
- - She does not clamor.
- - Mmm.
- 780
- 00:48:26,936 --> 00:48:30,440
- If you guys work together, how did you...
- How did you slip away?
- 781
- 00:48:31,373 --> 00:48:33,007
- Who says I slipped away?
- 782
- 00:48:33,009 --> 00:48:35,242
- Well, where does she think
- you're eating lunch?
- 783
- 00:48:35,244 --> 00:48:39,713
- I mean, I assume you guys usually try
- to make an effort to eat together.
- 784
- 00:48:39,715 --> 00:48:42,816
- Mmm-hmm. We do, but,
- 785
- 00:48:42,818 --> 00:48:45,220
- I am supposed to meet somebody
- in the area later.
- 786
- 00:48:45,222 --> 00:48:46,420
- Got it.
- 787
- 00:48:46,422 --> 00:48:47,921
- So, maybe I got
- a little loose
- 788
- 00:48:47,923 --> 00:48:49,257
- - with the times.
- - Mmm-hmm.
- 789
- 00:48:49,259 --> 00:48:50,992
- - Is that a crime?
- - No.
- 790
- 00:48:50,994 --> 00:48:52,260
- You gonna put me
- under citizen's arrest?
- 791
- 00:48:52,262 --> 00:48:54,362
- No, no.
- 792
- 00:48:54,364 --> 00:48:56,597
- Um, I am getting together
- later with some guys
- 793
- 00:48:56,599 --> 00:48:58,032
- if you'd like to come.
- 794
- 00:48:58,034 --> 00:48:59,900
- I don't know how much else
- you have going on yet.
- 795
- 00:48:59,902 --> 00:49:03,306
- Nothing. Not very much
- of anything.
- 796
- 00:49:04,072 --> 00:49:05,472
- Maybe.
- 797
- 00:49:05,474 --> 00:49:08,344
- - Just guys?
- - It's hard to say. Probably.
- 798
- 00:49:10,213 --> 00:49:12,416
- - Well, I'll think about it.
- - Okay.
- 799
- 00:50:25,288 --> 00:50:26,854
- Sorry. Thing ran long.
- 800
- 00:50:26,856 --> 00:50:28,356
- - Hi. I'm Buddy.
- - Kevin.
- 801
- 00:50:28,358 --> 00:50:29,789
- Have you met Jess?
- 802
- 00:50:29,791 --> 00:50:31,793
- We had the chance to talk
- for about half an hour
- 803
- 00:50:31,795 --> 00:50:33,628
- until our meeting began
- and you finally showed up.
- 804
- 00:50:33,630 --> 00:50:35,362
- As I said,
- the thing ran long.
- 805
- 00:50:35,364 --> 00:50:37,298
- What "thing"?
- 806
- 00:50:37,300 --> 00:50:39,934
- The thing, the lunch thing with the
- guy that I was telling you about.
- 807
- 00:50:39,936 --> 00:50:41,869
- What can we do
- for you, Kevin?
- 808
- 00:50:41,871 --> 00:50:44,771
- Uh, Kevin is going to make
- a record here.
- 809
- 00:50:44,773 --> 00:50:47,340
- That's wonderful. When?
- How big are you guys?
- 810
- 00:50:47,342 --> 00:50:49,144
- I mean how many are you,
- not how famous are you.
- 811
- 00:50:49,146 --> 00:50:50,711
- Although maybe
- that matters, too.
- 812
- 00:50:50,713 --> 00:50:52,981
- We actually worked it all out.
- And, um...
- 813
- 00:50:52,983 --> 00:50:55,383
- Well, Kevin was
- just about to leave.
- 814
- 00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:58,853
- But we're done, and I
- handled it on my own.
- 815
- 00:50:58,855 --> 00:51:00,119
- Oh, of course you did.
- 816
- 00:51:00,121 --> 00:51:02,856
- Well, great to meet you,
- Kevin, and
- 817
- 00:51:02,858 --> 00:51:05,562
- can't wait to start work.
- See you around.
- 818
- 00:51:39,061 --> 00:51:40,860
- I'm really sorry
- about the short notice.
- 819
- 00:51:40,862 --> 00:51:43,396
- I'm just not feeling well
- at all today.
- 820
- 00:51:43,398 --> 00:51:44,731
- Oh, it's fine.
- Don't worry about it.
- 821
- 00:51:44,733 --> 00:51:45,999
- I'll comp you next week.
- 822
- 00:51:46,001 --> 00:51:47,668
- End of this week.
- 823
- 00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:50,670
- End of this week, right. I don't
- know where my head is at.
- 824
- 00:51:50,672 --> 00:51:54,208
- It's really not a big deal.
- Stop apologizing.
- 825
- 00:51:54,210 --> 00:51:56,376
- It's going around, a bug in the family.
- My husband has it,
- 826
- 00:51:56,378 --> 00:51:58,010
- my sister has it,
- now I have it.
- 827
- 00:51:58,012 --> 00:52:00,046
- It's really okay.
- 828
- 00:52:00,048 --> 00:52:01,349
- I know it's unprofessional. I
- shouldn't be going on like this.
- 829
- 00:52:01,351 --> 00:52:03,086
- I'm sorry. I apologize.
- 830
- 00:52:37,086 --> 00:52:38,855
- So what's the fear?
- 831
- 00:52:43,059 --> 00:52:45,592
- I want to see
- 832
- 00:52:45,594 --> 00:52:49,764
- contrasts between myself
- and somebody
- 833
- 00:52:49,766 --> 00:52:52,932
- fifteen years my senior
- 834
- 00:52:52,934 --> 00:52:56,338
- and there are shockingly few.
- 835
- 00:52:58,173 --> 00:53:02,776
- I spend all day interloping
- 836
- 00:53:02,778 --> 00:53:07,016
- with this family, and with your
- family, and when I get home
- 837
- 00:53:08,918 --> 00:53:10,987
- all I can ask myself is,
- 838
- 00:53:12,021 --> 00:53:14,191
- "What's the holdup?"
- 839
- 00:53:17,027 --> 00:53:19,496
- It's a familiar feeling,
- sadly.
- 840
- 00:53:21,030 --> 00:53:23,563
- Why don't I have
- that which makes
- 841
- 00:53:23,565 --> 00:53:26,700
- somebody else as
- 842
- 00:53:26,702 --> 00:53:29,739
- happy and fulfilled
- as can be?
- 843
- 00:53:33,309 --> 00:53:36,209
- All of Buddy's friends
- are married.
- 844
- 00:53:36,211 --> 00:53:38,679
- None of mine are.
- Including you.
- 845
- 00:53:38,681 --> 00:53:39,880
- Downgraded from sister.
- 846
- 00:53:39,882 --> 00:53:42,016
- My point is
- you aren't in some
- 847
- 00:53:42,018 --> 00:53:44,985
- isolated state
- of arrested maturity.
- 848
- 00:53:44,987 --> 00:53:47,954
- Just because you spend
- most of your time
- 849
- 00:53:47,956 --> 00:53:50,391
- with a woman in her 40s
- 850
- 00:53:50,393 --> 00:53:53,360
- doesn't mean
- that you are, too.
- 851
- 00:53:53,362 --> 00:53:55,530
- Let me give you
- an example.
- 852
- 00:53:55,532 --> 00:54:01,068
- So Bud's hung around with this
- daughter of his mom's friend.
- 853
- 00:54:01,070 --> 00:54:04,671
- It's a highly tenuous
- connection, right?
- 854
- 00:54:04,673 --> 00:54:07,509
- They met once, 20 years ago.
- 855
- 00:54:08,911 --> 00:54:11,179
- And this girl, he says,
- 856
- 00:54:11,181 --> 00:54:13,246
- younger than you,
- 857
- 00:54:13,248 --> 00:54:15,749
- is totally alone.
- 858
- 00:54:15,751 --> 00:54:17,517
- She's here
- for several months
- 859
- 00:54:17,519 --> 00:54:22,088
- and she has no meaningful
- relationships at all.
- 860
- 00:54:22,090 --> 00:54:26,829
- But see, I look at that
- as a freeing situation.
- 861
- 00:54:28,731 --> 00:54:29,733
- Young.
- 862
- 00:54:30,365 --> 00:54:31,634
- Travel.
- 863
- 00:54:33,235 --> 00:54:36,272
- You see a version
- of that as desperate.
- 864
- 00:54:38,375 --> 00:54:39,476
- Alone.
- 865
- 00:54:40,710 --> 00:54:41,677
- Subjectivity.
- 866
- 00:54:43,313 --> 00:54:45,481
- The grass might be greener.
- 867
- 00:54:46,382 --> 00:54:48,081
- The grass is dead
- 868
- 00:54:48,083 --> 00:54:50,719
- and covered with salt.
- 869
- 00:54:51,753 --> 00:54:53,989
- Okay. Um...
- 870
- 00:54:54,891 --> 00:54:56,856
- Well,
- 871
- 00:54:56,858 --> 00:54:57,925
- worst-case scenario,
- 872
- 00:54:57,927 --> 00:54:59,626
- five years. Go.
- 873
- 00:55:08,304 --> 00:55:10,606
- It's nothing. I don't have one.
- 874
- 00:55:12,474 --> 00:55:14,978
- I shouldn't have
- kept you so late.
- 875
- 00:56:38,860 --> 00:56:42,028
- We need to tighten
- the noose on Nick.
- 876
- 00:56:42,030 --> 00:56:43,530
- Don't you think he should
- be more productive
- 877
- 00:56:43,532 --> 00:56:44,699
- now that we hired
- an assistant?
- 878
- 00:56:44,701 --> 00:56:46,066
- He should be more productive.
- 879
- 00:56:46,068 --> 00:56:47,700
- Have you tried calling him?
- 880
- 00:56:47,702 --> 00:56:49,235
- Try calling him again.
- 881
- 00:56:49,237 --> 00:56:52,305
- First, nobody picked up,
- and when I called back,
- 882
- 00:56:52,307 --> 00:56:54,008
- his assistant picked up, she
- said he was running behind.
- 883
- 00:56:54,010 --> 00:56:55,976
- She didn't say why.
- 884
- 00:56:55,978 --> 00:56:58,679
- That seems
- inexcusable to me.
- 885
- 00:56:58,681 --> 00:57:00,148
- Doesn't it? I mean,
- 886
- 00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:02,648
- it's not like his job
- is so hard
- 887
- 00:57:02,650 --> 00:57:06,052
- or, God forbid, he has to
- travel that far to do it.
- 888
- 00:57:06,054 --> 00:57:08,054
- Do we have to hold his hand
- through everything?
- 889
- 00:57:08,056 --> 00:57:09,091
- Try calling him again.
- 890
- 00:57:28,443 --> 00:57:31,278
- Oh, Nick? Hey, it's Sam.
- 891
- 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,780
- I am good. How are you?
- 892
- 00:57:33,782 --> 00:57:35,316
- Yeah. I'm just...
- 893
- 00:57:35,318 --> 00:57:37,818
- No, I'm just checking
- to make sure you're in.
- 894
- 00:57:37,820 --> 00:57:41,088
- I think we wanted to stop by
- today and check on things.
- 895
- 00:57:41,090 --> 00:57:43,827
- Is there a time
- that would work best?
- 896
- 00:57:44,626 --> 00:57:46,295
- Yes, now,
- 897
- 00:57:47,329 --> 00:57:49,496
- now should work great.
- 898
- 00:57:49,498 --> 00:57:51,097
- We'll be by shortly.
- 899
- 00:57:51,099 --> 00:57:52,199
- Okay.
- 900
- 00:57:52,201 --> 00:57:54,401
- Okay. Okay.
- 901
- 00:57:54,403 --> 00:57:57,474
- I mean,
- how hard can it be?
- 902
- 00:57:59,108 --> 00:58:01,941
- You have siblings,
- right, Sam?
- 903
- 00:58:01,943 --> 00:58:04,644
- I have a sister
- and two brothers.
- 904
- 00:58:04,646 --> 00:58:07,648
- Would you put up with any of
- this bullshit on behalf of them,
- 905
- 00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:09,883
- or not them specifically,
- but their spouses?
- 906
- 00:58:09,885 --> 00:58:11,150
- Wait, are they married?
- 907
- 00:58:11,152 --> 00:58:12,720
- Yeah, everyone except
- my youngest brother.
- 908
- 00:58:12,722 --> 00:58:14,824
- So you understand me,
- right?
- 909
- 00:58:15,657 --> 00:58:17,124
- I think so.
- 910
- 00:58:17,126 --> 00:58:18,726
- With me and my sister,
- it's different...
- 911
- 00:58:18,728 --> 00:58:20,894
- Why do we have bonds
- to siblings?
- 912
- 00:58:20,896 --> 00:58:24,865
- What does a brother or
- sister-in-law mean to me anyway?
- 913
- 00:58:24,867 --> 00:58:27,534
- My father liked Nick.
- 914
- 00:58:27,536 --> 00:58:29,503
- I think he would have
- approved of my hiring him.
- 915
- 00:58:29,505 --> 00:58:32,206
- He always said he wanted him
- to be involved in his
- 916
- 00:58:32,208 --> 00:58:35,876
- appraisals, what have you,
- his materials,
- 917
- 00:58:35,878 --> 00:58:39,278
- but I think that's because he thought
- he'd be around to do it with him.
- 918
- 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,882
- I'm sure if he knew I had to
- deal with it all by myself
- 919
- 00:58:41,884 --> 00:58:45,720
- he'd want me
- to choose the person.
- 920
- 00:58:45,722 --> 00:58:48,825
- I'm sorry, did you... Did
- you want to say something?
- 921
- 00:58:51,726 --> 00:58:53,161
- No.
- 922
- 00:58:54,630 --> 00:58:56,499
- No, it's not important.
- 923
- 00:59:02,538 --> 00:59:03,572
- Nick.
- 924
- 00:59:04,639 --> 00:59:06,440
- I've been thinking.
- 925
- 00:59:06,442 --> 00:59:08,775
- July would've been
- Dad's 85th birthday.
- 926
- 00:59:08,777 --> 00:59:11,845
- I think that's a reasonable time
- to have this all wrapped up, no?
- 927
- 00:59:11,847 --> 00:59:13,514
- July?
- 928
- 00:59:13,516 --> 00:59:17,117
- - I'd said September...
- - I know we said something else.
- 929
- 00:59:17,119 --> 00:59:20,454
- But to be clear, you want to
- move on to other projects.
- 930
- 00:59:20,456 --> 00:59:22,188
- This isn't holding
- your attention.
- 931
- 00:59:22,190 --> 00:59:27,894
- My only options as executor would
- be to bring someone new in
- 932
- 00:59:27,896 --> 00:59:31,065
- and start over, or just
- encourage you to push through.
- 933
- 00:59:31,067 --> 00:59:34,267
- This is, after all,
- why we hired her.
- 934
- 00:59:34,269 --> 00:59:38,873
- Yeah, but I can't work miracles.
- Naomi's a huge help
- 935
- 00:59:38,875 --> 00:59:42,041
- but we're talking
- about a raise, obviously.
- 936
- 00:59:42,043 --> 00:59:44,610
- - A raise?
- - Yeah, a raise. I mean, we have...
- 937
- 00:59:44,612 --> 00:59:46,380
- The sooner you finish,
- 938
- 00:59:46,382 --> 00:59:49,282
- the sooner you can move on
- to other jobs.
- 939
- 00:59:49,284 --> 00:59:50,717
- Work with Sam
- 940
- 00:59:50,719 --> 00:59:52,284
- if you want to.
- 941
- 00:59:52,286 --> 00:59:56,155
- I can loan her as needed
- to help expedite things.
- 942
- 00:59:56,157 --> 00:59:59,925
- How about taking it
- for a spin right now?
- 943
- 00:59:59,927 --> 01:00:02,195
- I have a thing,
- 944
- 01:00:02,197 --> 01:00:06,235
- but, Sam, you don't need to be there,
- so maybe just stay here and, uh...
- 945
- 01:00:07,168 --> 01:00:09,936
- And get a feel for things.
- 946
- 01:00:09,938 --> 01:00:13,039
- Nick, two beautiful ladies,
- enough motivation
- 947
- 01:00:13,041 --> 01:00:16,709
- for you to quit being a wimp
- and power through?
- 948
- 01:00:16,711 --> 01:00:18,278
- I don't know
- if I can...
- 949
- 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,280
- You'll be fine.
- 950
- 01:00:20,282 --> 01:00:22,782
- Make Sam feel welcome
- and part of the team.
- 951
- 01:00:22,784 --> 01:00:23,786
- And, Nick...
- 952
- 01:00:25,119 --> 01:00:27,086
- I don't know what to say.
- 953
- 01:00:31,393 --> 01:00:33,726
- Widows and daughters.
- What did I tell you?
- 954
- 01:00:33,728 --> 01:00:35,561
- I don't know if I really want
- to get involved.
- 955
- 01:00:35,563 --> 01:00:37,563
- Oh, don't worry about her.
- 956
- 01:00:37,565 --> 01:00:41,635
- I can't imagine
- dealing with Gwen full-time.
- 957
- 01:00:41,637 --> 01:00:42,836
- How long you been working
- with her?
- 958
- 01:00:42,838 --> 01:00:44,606
- Almost two years.
- 959
- 01:00:46,641 --> 01:00:48,710
- This poor child.
- 960
- 01:00:52,847 --> 01:00:55,449
- - What does she say about me?
- - Maybe we should get to work.
- 961
- 01:00:55,451 --> 01:00:57,450
- No, we will. Forget her.
- 962
- 01:00:57,452 --> 01:01:00,052
- Yeah, I don't know,
- just this gossip,
- 963
- 01:01:00,054 --> 01:01:03,090
- you know? Talking about someone
- as soon as they leave the room
- 964
- 01:01:03,092 --> 01:01:04,391
- kind of makes me feel ill.
- 965
- 01:01:04,393 --> 01:01:05,659
- I don't really go for it,
- either.
- 966
- 01:01:05,661 --> 01:01:08,929
- This is unheard of.
- 967
- 01:01:08,931 --> 01:01:11,932
- Two ladies refuse to gossip with
- a man in the prime of his life
- 968
- 01:01:11,934 --> 01:01:14,437
- waiting for
- the inside scoop?
- 969
- 01:01:17,273 --> 01:01:19,440
- Two years, huh? That's...
- 970
- 01:01:19,442 --> 01:01:21,175
- You must hold the record.
- 971
- 01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:23,010
- You took over
- for Deidre, right?
- 972
- 01:01:23,012 --> 01:01:25,612
- I think her name
- was Amanda.
- 973
- 01:01:25,614 --> 01:01:27,815
- Right, Amanda.
- 974
- 01:01:27,817 --> 01:01:29,550
- I forgot about her.
- 975
- 01:01:29,552 --> 01:01:32,686
- The turnover in that job
- is unfathomable.
- 976
- 01:01:32,688 --> 01:01:34,887
- - Why does she need an assistant anyway?
- - Why do you?
- 977
- 01:01:34,889 --> 01:01:36,523
- No offense.
- 978
- 01:01:36,525 --> 01:01:39,095
- No, none taken, until you
- said "no offense."
- 979
- 01:01:40,494 --> 01:01:42,695
- All right. If I left,
- 980
- 01:01:42,697 --> 01:01:45,965
- I'm sure you guys
- could figure it out.
- 981
- 01:01:45,967 --> 01:01:48,834
- I don't think so. I'm not... I
- don't really know exactly...
- 982
- 01:01:48,836 --> 01:01:51,137
- I don't think I have much
- left in me today
- 983
- 01:01:51,139 --> 01:01:53,639
- so, I'm gonna call
- an audible
- 984
- 01:01:53,641 --> 01:01:56,577
- and I'll just let you bring
- Sam up to speed. Okay?
- 985
- 01:01:56,579 --> 01:01:58,479
- - Great.
- - So, could you...
- 986
- 01:01:58,481 --> 01:02:00,280
- Oh, yeah.
- 987
- 01:02:00,282 --> 01:02:02,184
- - Thank you.
- - My pleasure.
- 988
- 01:02:04,152 --> 01:02:05,554
- Bye.
- 989
- 01:02:13,528 --> 01:02:14,831
- Okay.
- 990
- 01:02:30,579 --> 01:02:35,250
- I don't know, reading,
- exploring, going for walks.
- 991
- 01:02:36,719 --> 01:02:38,987
- So, nothing really. Um...
- 992
- 01:02:40,021 --> 01:02:43,523
- It's kind of lonely,
- 993
- 01:02:43,525 --> 01:02:48,427
- but I think maybe that's really
- good for me right now. Um...
- 994
- 01:02:48,429 --> 01:02:51,063
- I just came out of
- a really intense relationship
- 995
- 01:02:51,065 --> 01:02:53,601
- and I kind of needed a break.
- 996
- 01:02:53,603 --> 01:02:56,036
- I wanted some time just to
- 997
- 01:02:56,038 --> 01:02:57,905
- be by myself, you know.
- 998
- 01:02:57,907 --> 01:03:02,610
- I never traveled or anything
- when I was at uni and...
- 999
- 01:03:02,612 --> 01:03:05,778
- You know, I just...
- 1000
- 01:03:05,780 --> 01:03:08,949
- How do I say...
- It sounds kind of silly.
- 1001
- 01:03:08,951 --> 01:03:15,188
- I wanted to see how much
- and how quickly I could grow
- 1002
- 01:03:15,190 --> 01:03:17,391
- as a person, I suppose.
- 1003
- 01:03:17,393 --> 01:03:18,461
- Um...
- 1004
- 01:03:19,728 --> 01:03:22,262
- I feel like
- the most difficult part
- 1005
- 01:03:22,264 --> 01:03:26,766
- about being as transient as
- I have been for a while is
- 1006
- 01:03:26,768 --> 01:03:31,237
- just how vulnerable I am
- to infatuation, you know?
- 1007
- 01:03:31,239 --> 01:03:34,307
- I go to a new place,
- and I want to move there
- 1008
- 01:03:34,309 --> 01:03:37,443
- and then I meet somebody
- and I fall in love with him,
- 1009
- 01:03:37,445 --> 01:03:40,514
- and, you know, I want to be
- with him all the time, and...
- 1010
- 01:03:40,516 --> 01:03:42,115
- Then a week passes
- 1011
- 01:03:42,117 --> 01:03:45,751
- and then two weeks pass,
- and then
- 1012
- 01:03:45,753 --> 01:03:48,324
- I just want to leave,
- you know.
- 1013
- 01:03:50,793 --> 01:03:53,327
- Are you there yet, now?
- 1014
- 01:03:53,329 --> 01:03:55,762
- "There yet, now."
- 1015
- 01:03:55,764 --> 01:03:57,863
- No, I'm not.
- 1016
- 01:03:57,865 --> 01:04:00,534
- I mean, if only,
- you know,
- 1017
- 01:04:00,536 --> 01:04:02,969
- because this is all so boring.
- 1018
- 01:04:02,971 --> 01:04:05,940
- There's not really anything
- to fixate on, you know.
- 1019
- 01:04:05,942 --> 01:04:09,108
- And I say that
- as a very positive thing.
- 1020
- 01:04:09,110 --> 01:04:11,177
- This family
- is fucked up.
- 1021
- 01:04:11,179 --> 01:04:13,914
- Take it from me,
- do not fixate.
- 1022
- 01:04:13,916 --> 01:04:16,450
- Yeah, I don't know.
- 1023
- 01:04:16,452 --> 01:04:19,853
- I kind of like Nick.
- I know he's a bit sad.
- 1024
- 01:04:19,855 --> 01:04:23,090
- I really like Gwen.
- 1025
- 01:04:23,092 --> 01:04:25,592
- Get to know them better.
- 1026
- 01:04:25,594 --> 01:04:28,262
- Let the luster fade.
- 1027
- 01:04:28,264 --> 01:04:31,197
- Well, we're sitting
- in a basement office
- 1028
- 01:04:31,199 --> 01:04:33,333
- surrounded by piles
- of documents.
- 1029
- 01:04:33,335 --> 01:04:36,438
- I'm not really sure
- to which luster you refer.
- 1030
- 01:04:39,175 --> 01:04:41,077
- It's hard to
- 1031
- 01:04:42,744 --> 01:04:46,146
- articulate this
- competitive nonsense,
- 1032
- 01:04:46,148 --> 01:04:48,481
- the
- 1033
- 01:04:48,483 --> 01:04:54,019
- unwilling resentment we apparently
- feel without warning, for our family.
- 1034
- 01:04:54,021 --> 01:04:56,523
- You see it between Gwen
- and Alyssa.
- 1035
- 01:04:56,525 --> 01:04:58,557
- It's the same
- 1036
- 01:04:58,559 --> 01:05:00,659
- for me and my sister.
- 1037
- 01:05:00,661 --> 01:05:01,797
- Love,
- 1038
- 01:05:02,998 --> 01:05:04,664
- jealousy
- 1039
- 01:05:04,666 --> 01:05:06,699
- and deficiency,
- 1040
- 01:05:06,701 --> 01:05:10,403
- all wrapped up in
- a genetically-bonded inability
- 1041
- 01:05:10,405 --> 01:05:13,005
- to ever express the concurrent
- 1042
- 01:05:13,007 --> 01:05:15,575
- - depth of these feelings.
- - Hmm.
- 1043
- 01:05:15,577 --> 01:05:19,845
- What a mess a dynamic
- like this can be.
- 1044
- 01:05:19,847 --> 01:05:21,815
- Between strangers, you, me,
- Nick, Gwen, or whatever,
- 1045
- 01:05:21,817 --> 01:05:24,583
- it should be cleaner.
- Maybe it is.
- 1046
- 01:05:24,585 --> 01:05:26,021
- My problem
- 1047
- 01:05:27,222 --> 01:05:28,457
- is that
- 1048
- 01:05:29,992 --> 01:05:34,594
- personal dynamics
- ebb and flow.
- 1049
- 01:05:34,596 --> 01:05:39,432
- Most of them have an endpoint that
- we are never not moving towards, but
- 1050
- 01:05:39,434 --> 01:05:41,735
- - it's not so with family.
- - Hmm.
- 1051
- 01:05:41,737 --> 01:05:44,771
- There is no destination and
- 1052
- 01:05:44,773 --> 01:05:48,176
- no hope for a clean getaway.
- 1053
- 01:05:50,478 --> 01:05:56,383
- You aspire for your time here to
- end well, to leave head held high,
- 1054
- 01:05:56,385 --> 01:05:59,119
- a trail of positivity
- behind you.
- 1055
- 01:05:59,121 --> 01:06:01,822
- I'll leave Gwen someday
- and hope for the same.
- 1056
- 01:06:01,824 --> 01:06:04,224
- Out on a high note.
- 1057
- 01:06:04,226 --> 01:06:06,295
- A perfect final moment.
- 1058
- 01:06:09,465 --> 01:06:13,970
- Family doesn't afford that endless
- optimism for a happy ending.
- 1059
- 01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:19,405
- I had to get
- out of the house.
- 1060
- 01:06:19,407 --> 01:06:21,575
- I know it's short notice,
- possibly weird,
- 1061
- 01:06:21,577 --> 01:06:23,145
- I hope that you don't
- read anything into it.
- 1062
- 01:06:24,646 --> 01:06:26,045
- If you couldn't make it,
- 1063
- 01:06:26,047 --> 01:06:27,646
- I'd probably just be
- sitting here alone anyway.
- 1064
- 01:06:27,648 --> 01:06:29,550
- No offense.
- 1065
- 01:06:29,552 --> 01:06:31,651
- Why does everybody keep
- saying that to me today?
- 1066
- 01:06:31,653 --> 01:06:32,885
- Saying what?
- 1067
- 01:06:32,887 --> 01:06:34,954
- Do I seem
- extra offended today?
- 1068
- 01:06:34,956 --> 01:06:37,389
- You must be finding yourself
- in apologetic company.
- 1069
- 01:06:37,391 --> 01:06:38,891
- Well, don't apologize.
- 1070
- 01:06:38,893 --> 01:06:40,128
- Sorry.
- 1071
- 01:06:40,795 --> 01:06:43,028
- My mum was
- 1072
- 01:06:43,030 --> 01:06:46,266
- very happy about the fact that
- we caught up the first time.
- 1073
- 01:06:46,268 --> 01:06:49,635
- I think it maybe makes her
- feel like I'm less far away
- 1074
- 01:06:49,637 --> 01:06:51,871
- or something,
- like she has some slight
- 1075
- 01:06:51,873 --> 01:06:54,542
- ancient connection
- to your family.
- 1076
- 01:06:55,376 --> 01:06:57,010
- I don't know.
- 1077
- 01:06:57,012 --> 01:06:59,679
- It'll make her day
- when I call her tomorrow,
- 1078
- 01:06:59,681 --> 01:07:01,349
- which it already is
- in Melbourne.
- 1079
- 01:07:03,684 --> 01:07:06,087
- So where's
- the wife tonight?
- 1080
- 01:07:07,121 --> 01:07:08,723
- With the sister.
- 1081
- 01:07:10,192 --> 01:07:12,157
- That guy over by the bar
- is checking you out.
- 1082
- 01:07:12,159 --> 01:07:13,827
- Don't look.
- 1083
- 01:07:13,829 --> 01:07:16,463
- Give it a second,
- then a quick glance.
- 1084
- 01:07:16,465 --> 01:07:19,298
- Are you ready?
- One, two, three,
- 1085
- 01:07:19,300 --> 01:07:20,302
- now look.
- 1086
- 01:07:22,605 --> 01:07:24,304
- What should I do?
- 1087
- 01:07:27,442 --> 01:07:28,744
- I'll play wingman.
- 1088
- 01:07:30,179 --> 01:07:32,644
- - Let's get you laid.
- - Oh, goodness.
- 1089
- 01:07:32,646 --> 01:07:35,483
- I didn't know we were allowed to
- talk to each other like that.
- 1090
- 01:07:38,719 --> 01:07:39,885
- Hey, man.
- 1091
- 01:07:39,887 --> 01:07:42,155
- - What's your name?
- - Uh, Peter.
- 1092
- 01:07:42,157 --> 01:07:46,827
- Peter, this is sister-in-law,
- Naomi, visiting from Australia.
- 1093
- 01:07:46,829 --> 01:07:48,595
- G'day, Naomi.
- 1094
- 01:07:48,597 --> 01:07:49,929
- G'day, Peter.
- 1095
- 01:08:38,247 --> 01:08:41,781
- It's just about lunchtime
- in Australia right now so
- 1096
- 01:08:41,783 --> 01:08:45,552
- I will call my mum
- as soon as I get home
- 1097
- 01:08:45,554 --> 01:08:49,254
- and let her know that I saw you
- again and she will be thrilled.
- 1098
- 01:08:49,256 --> 01:08:50,757
- Positively thrilled.
- 1099
- 01:08:50,759 --> 01:08:51,793
- That's great.
- 1100
- 01:08:54,796 --> 01:08:56,998
- I love the way
- it smells here.
- 1101
- 01:09:01,569 --> 01:09:04,803
- I've never really experienced
- springtime like this.
- 1102
- 01:09:04,805 --> 01:09:08,508
- You know, in Australia,
- the trees bloom in September.
- 1103
- 01:09:08,510 --> 01:09:11,046
- - Hmm.
- - It's the other way around.
- 1104
- 01:09:14,115 --> 01:09:17,586
- I've fallen in love on so
- many nights like tonight.
- 1105
- 01:09:22,289 --> 01:09:23,924
- Um...
- 1106
- 01:09:23,926 --> 01:09:27,293
- I need to get home.
- And so do you.
- 1107
- 01:09:27,295 --> 01:09:28,463
- Okay.
- 1108
- 01:10:23,685 --> 01:10:25,550
- Actually, everything
- at work is great.
- 1109
- 01:10:25,552 --> 01:10:27,786
- Clients, problems, money...
- 1110
- 01:10:27,788 --> 01:10:30,156
- You're forgetting
- I can read your mind.
- 1111
- 01:10:30,158 --> 01:10:31,326
- Cut the shit.
- 1112
- 01:10:32,661 --> 01:10:35,195
- It's nothing, there's nothing.
- 1113
- 01:10:35,197 --> 01:10:39,833
- If we're not going to talk about
- anything, why'd you ask to come over?
- 1114
- 01:10:39,835 --> 01:10:42,169
- I just wanted to be
- in your house, I think,
- 1115
- 01:10:42,171 --> 01:10:45,074
- someplace devoted
- to one person's life.
- 1116
- 01:10:48,176 --> 01:10:51,343
- I remember feeling so sad,
- 1117
- 01:10:51,345 --> 01:10:56,349
- so sad that Dad had to
- live alone after Mom died.
- 1118
- 01:10:56,351 --> 01:10:58,351
- It would have been ridiculous
- for him to live any other way.
- 1119
- 01:10:58,353 --> 01:11:00,519
- He wasn't going to have roommates and
- we weren't going to live with him.
- 1120
- 01:11:00,521 --> 01:11:03,022
- He was capable
- and independent.
- 1121
- 01:11:03,024 --> 01:11:07,027
- Every time I saw him, I knew that he was
- going back to that big, empty house
- 1122
- 01:11:07,029 --> 01:11:09,595
- and be bouncing around in
- there completely by himself
- 1123
- 01:11:09,597 --> 01:11:11,399
- and it destroyed me.
- 1124
- 01:11:15,404 --> 01:11:18,437
- He never showed
- any signs of
- 1125
- 01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:21,710
- ever feeling anything
- but fully satisfied.
- 1126
- 01:11:23,912 --> 01:11:26,914
- He was a truly content
- and happy man.
- 1127
- 01:11:29,051 --> 01:11:32,952
- Maybe it's just that Mom seemed
- to leave no void, is my issue.
- 1128
- 01:11:34,588 --> 01:11:38,424
- Either way, I come over
- here and I admire you.
- 1129
- 01:11:38,426 --> 01:11:43,728
- Excuse me if half of my old
- problems have transferred onto you.
- 1130
- 01:11:43,730 --> 01:11:47,400
- The last few years with Mom
- felt that way.
- 1131
- 01:11:47,402 --> 01:11:50,972
- Seeing them out
- at a dinner or
- 1132
- 01:11:52,073 --> 01:11:53,973
- an event,
- 1133
- 01:11:53,975 --> 01:11:56,679
- knowing that they were sleeping
- in separate rooms by then.
- 1134
- 01:11:57,779 --> 01:11:59,344
- They put on that performance,
- 1135
- 01:11:59,346 --> 01:12:02,348
- not just in public, for us,
- as though we were the public
- 1136
- 01:12:02,350 --> 01:12:06,253
- knowing that they'd come
- through the door at night
- 1137
- 01:12:06,255 --> 01:12:09,589
- and then they probably wouldn't speak
- to each other again until morning.
- 1138
- 01:12:09,591 --> 01:12:10,793
- That
- 1139
- 01:12:11,525 --> 01:12:14,363
- crushed me. So,
- 1140
- 01:12:15,463 --> 01:12:17,095
- I felt relief
- 1141
- 01:12:17,097 --> 01:12:22,035
- in the worst possible way,
- when Mom died.
- 1142
- 01:12:22,037 --> 01:12:26,639
- That was devastating in its own way,
- but hopefully you understand my point.
- 1143
- 01:12:26,641 --> 01:12:31,313
- It was a relief not to see him living
- that isolated existence anymore.
- 1144
- 01:12:33,648 --> 01:12:37,853
- Now he's just a mountain of boxes
- in the basement with Nick.
- 1145
- 01:12:38,819 --> 01:12:41,189
- And he's down there with him.
- 1146
- 01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:45,592
- You know, these feelings
- are fleeting.
- 1147
- 01:12:45,594 --> 01:12:47,663
- It's all gonna be forgotten.
- 1148
- 01:12:49,797 --> 01:12:53,598
- Papers, documents, archives,
- that's Dad now. And Mom.
- 1149
- 01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,869
- Nick's been showing me
- how much Mom is in there.
- 1150
- 01:12:55,871 --> 01:12:58,137
- It's not just his work.
- 1151
- 01:12:58,139 --> 01:13:00,839
- It's our mutual life.
- 1152
- 01:13:00,841 --> 01:13:03,242
- It's kind of sweet, actually.
- 1153
- 01:13:03,244 --> 01:13:06,979
- Of course it refutes your opinion. I
- probably won't show you any of it.
- 1154
- 01:13:06,981 --> 01:13:08,513
- Please don't,
- in that case.
- 1155
- 01:13:08,515 --> 01:13:12,084
- What do you think he does
- down there all day?
- 1156
- 01:13:12,086 --> 01:13:16,089
- Obviously, I know what he does.
- The work gets done.
- 1157
- 01:13:16,091 --> 01:13:18,156
- But I can't seem to shake...
- 1158
- 01:13:18,158 --> 01:13:20,492
- I can't seem to shake it,
- though, that
- 1159
- 01:13:20,494 --> 01:13:22,327
- the two of them,
- 1160
- 01:13:22,329 --> 01:13:24,330
- five feet apart.
- 1161
- 01:13:24,332 --> 01:13:27,435
- - Nine hours a day.
- - Naomi's not the problem.
- 1162
- 01:13:29,136 --> 01:13:30,635
- Is there a problem?
- 1163
- 01:13:30,637 --> 01:13:32,705
- If there is a problem,
- she isn't the problem.
- 1164
- 01:13:32,707 --> 01:13:35,473
- She has a good head
- on her shoulders.
- 1165
- 01:13:35,475 --> 01:13:39,711
- How do you know that about her?
- You met her once for two hours.
- 1166
- 01:13:39,713 --> 01:13:43,851
- In two minutes, I could tell.
- The other 1:58 confirmed it.
- 1167
- 01:13:46,854 --> 01:13:50,156
- I can come so close
- to believing you, but...
- 1168
- 01:13:50,158 --> 01:13:52,528
- He hurt me in the past and...
- 1169
- 01:13:55,095 --> 01:13:58,964
- There's no way I can ever give him
- the benefit of the doubt ever again.
- 1170
- 01:13:58,966 --> 01:14:00,866
- I wish he would earn it back,
- you know?
- 1171
- 01:14:00,868 --> 01:14:04,603
- After years of penance, being
- a strong, great partner.
- 1172
- 01:14:04,605 --> 01:14:05,937
- But he hasn't.
- I don't know why.
- 1173
- 01:14:05,939 --> 01:14:08,575
- He's a completely
- different man now.
- 1174
- 01:14:08,577 --> 01:14:12,378
- He accepts what his life is.
- 1175
- 01:14:12,380 --> 01:14:15,481
- Do you believe he's in a head
- space to jeopardize things?
- 1176
- 01:14:15,483 --> 01:14:16,782
- I never believed it.
- 1177
- 01:14:16,784 --> 01:14:20,152
- Even when I found out,
- I didn't believe it.
- 1178
- 01:14:20,154 --> 01:14:23,990
- Do you have any evidence that this is
- anything more than a nagging hunch?
- 1179
- 01:14:23,992 --> 01:14:25,223
- No, there's nothing.
- 1180
- 01:14:25,225 --> 01:14:27,559
- I know it's stupid.
- 1181
- 01:14:27,561 --> 01:14:29,965
- You'd tell me
- if there was, right?
- 1182
- 01:14:32,233 --> 01:14:36,235
- Would you tell me if you thought
- Naomi was untrustworthy?
- 1183
- 01:14:36,237 --> 01:14:41,741
- I'd tell you anything, if you asked me.
- Would you do the same?
- 1184
- 01:14:41,743 --> 01:14:45,447
- If you asked me what was
- going on, I would tell you.
- 1185
- 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:20,146
- Hi.
- 1186
- 01:15:20,148 --> 01:15:22,417
- Uh, do you mind
- if I go to lunch?
- 1187
- 01:15:23,618 --> 01:15:24,753
- Why would I?
- 1188
- 01:15:28,722 --> 01:15:30,626
- Hey, I'm Peter.
- 1189
- 01:15:40,969 --> 01:15:42,535
- It's not the kids' fault.
- 1190
- 01:15:42,537 --> 01:15:44,769
- It's just the winter had so
- much travel throughout it,
- 1191
- 01:15:44,771 --> 01:15:48,309
- the time at home just became
- sort of this war zone.
- 1192
- 01:15:49,610 --> 01:15:52,312
- It's a matter of balance,
- really...
- 1193
- 01:15:52,314 --> 01:15:54,013
- The importance
- being placed on that time
- 1194
- 01:15:54,015 --> 01:15:55,781
- was just so disproportionate
- 1195
- 01:15:55,783 --> 01:15:58,351
- to the actual
- experience of it.
- 1196
- 01:15:58,353 --> 01:16:01,486
- It weighed too heavily
- against itself.
- 1197
- 01:16:05,359 --> 01:16:08,193
- ...because of all these unspoken
- issues that I blamed on work
- 1198
- 01:16:08,195 --> 01:16:10,696
- and Mel blamed on me.
- 1199
- 01:16:10,698 --> 01:16:14,200
- And it was really only when
- things settled down
- 1200
- 01:16:14,202 --> 01:16:17,870
- that we were able to talk about
- it in any reasonable way.
- 1201
- 01:16:17,872 --> 01:16:20,371
- Well, that makes sense.
- 1202
- 01:16:20,373 --> 01:16:25,044
- The thing that balances it out, though,
- ends up being all about the kids.
- 1203
- 01:16:25,046 --> 01:16:27,880
- We can only put
- our own bullshit aside
- 1204
- 01:16:27,882 --> 01:16:31,217
- and consider
- a reasonable resolution
- 1205
- 01:16:31,219 --> 01:16:34,189
- when what's on the table
- is them.
- 1206
- 01:16:36,024 --> 01:16:38,794
- Having that as an anchor
- is valuable.
- 1207
- 01:18:17,759 --> 01:18:22,327
- Ever since Naomi started,
- I've been feeling nothing but rotten.
- 1208
- 01:18:22,329 --> 01:18:27,335
- There's no reason to think about
- that situation in those, or any terms.
- 1209
- 01:18:29,302 --> 01:18:30,471
- Hmm.
- 1210
- 01:18:32,372 --> 01:18:34,674
- You'd tell me
- if there was, right?
- 1211
- 01:18:34,676 --> 01:18:38,680
- I mean, you'd say what the thing
- was if there was a thing?
- 1212
- 01:18:39,314 --> 01:18:40,315
- I would.
- 1213
- 01:18:41,882 --> 01:18:44,616
- You haven't been
- all that sharp, either.
- 1214
- 01:18:44,618 --> 01:18:46,518
- Is she not working out?
- 1215
- 01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:47,756
- She's fine.
- 1216
- 01:18:51,626 --> 01:18:52,994
- Then what is it?
- 1217
- 01:18:55,729 --> 01:18:58,032
- It's nothing.
- I don't know.
- 1218
- 01:18:59,466 --> 01:19:01,666
- Is this really
- something so serious
- 1219
- 01:19:01,668 --> 01:19:04,736
- or is it just misdirected
- from somewhere else?
- 1220
- 01:19:04,738 --> 01:19:08,576
- I just wanted to mention a feeling.
- I wasn't sure why it's so strong.
- 1221
- 01:19:10,444 --> 01:19:13,178
- I've come to know that
- this is what I want.
- 1222
- 01:19:13,180 --> 01:19:16,848
- I don't want anyone else
- to be a part of it.
- 1223
- 01:19:16,850 --> 01:19:20,488
- It's important to me and I don't
- want anything else to change it.
- 1224
- 01:19:31,466 --> 01:19:33,432
- I'm really glad that you were
- able to sneak away again.
- 1225
- 01:19:33,434 --> 01:19:36,201
- What did you say?
- 1226
- 01:19:36,203 --> 01:19:38,736
- I said I'm glad that you were
- able to get away and see me.
- 1227
- 01:19:38,738 --> 01:19:41,072
- That's not what you said.
- You said "sneak."
- 1228
- 01:19:41,074 --> 01:19:43,144
- I don't want
- to be a sneak.
- 1229
- 01:19:44,779 --> 01:19:47,479
- Well, is this going
- to be an issue or
- 1230
- 01:19:47,481 --> 01:19:50,916
- can we just relax
- and spend time together?
- 1231
- 01:19:50,918 --> 01:19:53,952
- I think it's time for you
- to not contact me.
- 1232
- 01:19:53,954 --> 01:19:57,826
- It's peculiar and confusing
- and also inappropriate.
- 1233
- 01:19:58,658 --> 01:19:59,991
- How so, and why?
- 1234
- 01:19:59,993 --> 01:20:01,427
- Where's what's-his-face?
- 1235
- 01:20:01,429 --> 01:20:02,593
- He took me to lunch.
- 1236
- 01:20:02,595 --> 01:20:04,162
- Where do I fit in?
- 1237
- 01:20:04,164 --> 01:20:06,232
- I wanted somebody to
- take me out for a cocktail.
- 1238
- 01:20:06,234 --> 01:20:07,202
- If you say so.
- 1239
- 01:20:09,136 --> 01:20:11,704
- Is this all I get?
- 1240
- 01:20:11,706 --> 01:20:14,272
- To be your evening's entertainment?
- I have a wife for that, already.
- 1241
- 01:20:14,274 --> 01:20:16,476
- But I thought you liked
- catching up with me.
- 1242
- 01:20:16,478 --> 01:20:17,876
- Yes, and we've caught up
- 1243
- 01:20:17,878 --> 01:20:21,647
- and there's nowhere else
- to catch now but down.
- 1244
- 01:20:21,649 --> 01:20:24,085
- You're very cute
- when you're angry.
- 1245
- 01:20:28,588 --> 01:20:33,925
- I'm really glad that we got
- to connect for my time here.
- 1246
- 01:20:33,927 --> 01:20:35,494
- Just trying to do
- the right thing.
- 1247
- 01:20:35,496 --> 01:20:37,729
- By what standards?
- 1248
- 01:20:37,731 --> 01:20:39,432
- This is a situation
- in which
- 1249
- 01:20:39,434 --> 01:20:43,501
- I no longer know how to
- make myself comfortable.
- 1250
- 01:20:43,503 --> 01:20:46,406
- Well, I want to spend
- time with you.
- 1251
- 01:20:46,408 --> 01:20:49,308
- I don't see what's so wrong
- with that.
- 1252
- 01:20:49,310 --> 01:20:53,178
- And I don't know
- anybody else here.
- 1253
- 01:20:53,180 --> 01:20:57,616
- A lot of guys would love
- to hear me say that to them.
- 1254
- 01:20:57,618 --> 01:20:59,254
- I'm not a lot of guys.
- 1255
- 01:21:02,256 --> 01:21:04,058
- I want you to stay.
- 1256
- 01:21:06,961 --> 01:21:08,327
- I'm sorry.
- 1257
- 01:21:08,329 --> 01:21:11,233
- I have to walk away.
- I hope you understand why.
- 1258
- 01:21:31,752 --> 01:21:33,218
- You okay?
- 1259
- 01:21:33,220 --> 01:21:34,355
- Yeah.
- 1260
- 01:21:37,225 --> 01:21:39,858
- I missed you.
- 1261
- 01:21:39,860 --> 01:21:42,930
- I'm sorry it took me
- so long to come back.
- 1262
- 01:23:18,292 --> 01:23:22,928
- Obviously you know your way around to
- take care of things when I'm gone.
- 1263
- 01:23:22,930 --> 01:23:25,097
- At this point, I do.
- 1264
- 01:23:25,099 --> 01:23:27,499
- So, there's nothing more
- to show you.
- 1265
- 01:23:27,501 --> 01:23:29,434
- You've had two years
- to learn it.
- 1266
- 01:23:29,436 --> 01:23:33,539
- Five more minutes isn't
- gonna make a difference.
- 1267
- 01:23:33,541 --> 01:23:37,808
- I wish you'd come with me.
- That'd be fun, wouldn't it?
- 1268
- 01:23:37,810 --> 01:23:40,148
- Though, I guess that defeats
- the purpose of travel.
- 1269
- 01:23:44,018 --> 01:23:47,318
- For me, anyway,
- travel alone is one thing,
- 1270
- 01:23:47,320 --> 01:23:49,354
- travel with somebody else
- is different.
- 1271
- 01:23:49,356 --> 01:23:52,226
- But also the next few months
- are meant to
- 1272
- 01:23:53,627 --> 01:23:56,161
- clear my head.
- 1273
- 01:23:56,163 --> 01:23:59,565
- For whatever reason, with you
- around that doesn't work.
- 1274
- 01:23:59,567 --> 01:24:03,238
- Not you, specifically.
- Just anyone.
- 1275
- 01:24:06,173 --> 01:24:09,208
- For someone
- with no substantial roots,
- 1276
- 01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:13,678
- it would seem I'm free
- to do whatever I want.
- 1277
- 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,085
- You have your sister.
- I suppose I have mine, too.
- 1278
- 01:24:18,519 --> 01:24:20,088
- Bet they're alike,
- 1279
- 01:24:21,488 --> 01:24:23,555
- our sisters.
- 1280
- 01:24:23,557 --> 01:24:26,458
- They have to make decisions based
- on two people instead of one.
- 1281
- 01:24:26,460 --> 01:24:29,831
- What a drag that must be.
- 1282
- 01:24:34,368 --> 01:24:37,169
- It's unlikely,
- though, that
- 1283
- 01:24:37,171 --> 01:24:40,305
- either of us would feel
- the same sense
- 1284
- 01:24:40,307 --> 01:24:42,676
- of gratification
- that they do.
- 1285
- 01:24:45,412 --> 01:24:48,981
- I wonder if when she's
- your age, or I am,
- 1286
- 01:24:48,983 --> 01:24:55,987
- we'll find ourselves looking forwards
- or backwards at the decisions
- 1287
- 01:24:55,989 --> 01:24:58,592
- the other one
- or the other made and
- 1288
- 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:00,795
- thinking,
- 1289
- 01:25:02,529 --> 01:25:06,300
- for one day, we would
- want to switch places.
- 1290
- 01:25:08,435 --> 01:25:10,704
- It's unlikely,
- but you never know.
- 1291
- 01:25:16,877 --> 01:25:19,380
- I'm gonna go
- wait for my car.
- 1292
- 01:25:21,849 --> 01:25:23,915
- I wonder if the next time
- we see each other
- 1293
- 01:25:23,917 --> 01:25:25,584
- one or the other
- will have met someone
- 1294
- 01:25:25,586 --> 01:25:28,085
- who makes us feel or
- 1295
- 01:25:28,087 --> 01:25:33,094
- desire something we don't
- currently feel or desire.
- 1296
- 01:25:35,462 --> 01:25:36,497
- Desire.
- 1297
- 01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,969
- That's a novel concept.
- 1298
- 01:26:05,126 --> 01:26:08,494
- I need to give the key back to
- you before I leave tomorrow.
- 1299
- 01:26:08,496 --> 01:26:11,296
- I think they just said to leave
- them under the mat before you go.
- 1300
- 01:26:11,298 --> 01:26:12,830
- No, I meant the office keys.
- 1301
- 01:26:12,832 --> 01:26:15,369
- Oh, yeah, I'll take those.
- 1302
- 01:26:17,805 --> 01:26:20,871
- I'm applying for this
- work-study program in Sydney
- 1303
- 01:26:20,873 --> 01:26:22,340
- and I was wondering
- if maybe you could write
- 1304
- 01:26:22,342 --> 01:26:24,179
- a letter of recommendation
- for me.
- 1305
- 01:26:24,845 --> 01:26:26,344
- Yeah.
- 1306
- 01:26:26,346 --> 01:26:29,581
- - Sure.
- - Great. Thank you.
- 1307
- 01:26:29,583 --> 01:26:31,152
- I, um...
- 1308
- 01:26:32,987 --> 01:26:37,522
- I hope that I've been helpful
- to you over the last few months
- 1309
- 01:26:37,524 --> 01:26:41,593
- and that Timothy's materials
- are in a better shape now
- 1310
- 01:26:41,595 --> 01:26:43,298
- than they would have been
- without me here.
- 1311
- 01:26:44,631 --> 01:26:46,333
- I believe they are.
- 1312
- 01:26:47,100 --> 01:26:49,134
- Good.
- 1313
- 01:26:49,136 --> 01:26:53,472
- And I wanted to thank you for
- introducing me to your family and
- 1314
- 01:26:53,474 --> 01:26:55,508
- inviting me into your home.
- 1315
- 01:26:55,510 --> 01:26:59,311
- I don't think many people would
- blend work and family like that
- 1316
- 01:26:59,313 --> 01:27:01,849
- and I think it was
- very classy of you.
- 1317
- 01:27:05,353 --> 01:27:06,386
- Um...
- 1318
- 01:27:07,186 --> 01:27:08,787
- And...
- 1319
- 01:27:08,789 --> 01:27:11,990
- I hope that we can
- stay in touch.
- 1320
- 01:27:11,992 --> 01:27:14,058
- You know,
- 1321
- 01:27:14,060 --> 01:27:17,329
- if I... If I come back here, maybe
- when I'm done with my studies,
- 1322
- 01:27:17,331 --> 01:27:20,101
- we could perhaps
- work together again.
- 1323
- 01:27:22,703 --> 01:27:23,705
- Yeah, sure.
- 1324
- 01:27:24,338 --> 01:27:25,405
- Great.
- 1325
- 01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:41,352
- It's okay,
- she's gone anyway.
- 1326
- 01:27:41,354 --> 01:27:43,955
- I'm without assistant.
- 1327
- 01:27:43,957 --> 01:27:46,058
- I thought she left
- last week.
- 1328
- 01:27:46,060 --> 01:27:47,395
- No, today.
- 1329
- 01:27:48,462 --> 01:27:50,331
- You stopped
- mentioning her.
- 1330
- 01:27:51,765 --> 01:27:55,768
- What's to say?
- She was a boring person.
- 1331
- 01:27:55,770 --> 01:27:57,803
- I know Gwen wanted
- to spend some time with her.
- 1332
- 01:27:57,805 --> 01:28:00,775
- I wonder if that
- ever ended up happening.
- 1333
- 01:28:01,576 --> 01:28:03,107
- Um...
- 1334
- 01:28:03,109 --> 01:28:05,544
- She started seeing
- some guy.
- 1335
- 01:28:05,546 --> 01:28:07,812
- He came to pick her up
- for lunch.
- 1336
- 01:28:07,814 --> 01:28:10,918
- Anyway, he stopped coming
- like a week or so ago.
- 1337
- 01:28:11,786 --> 01:28:13,451
- Anyway.
- 1338
- 01:28:13,453 --> 01:28:16,888
- I don't know what happened
- with that, she...
- 1339
- 01:28:16,890 --> 01:28:21,058
- She got sloppy, and the
- work suffered, so that's...
- 1340
- 01:28:21,060 --> 01:28:22,262
- That's that.
- 1341
- 01:28:25,164 --> 01:28:26,801
- Everything okay?
- 1342
- 01:28:30,938 --> 01:28:32,407
- I don't know.
- 1343
- 01:28:35,408 --> 01:28:39,111
- Finishing a job can't help
- but make me feel miserable
- 1344
- 01:28:39,113 --> 01:28:41,946
- about the state
- of my own work.
- 1345
- 01:28:41,948 --> 01:28:45,550
- It's dead and irrelevant.
- 1346
- 01:28:45,552 --> 01:28:47,018
- I don't know.
- 1347
- 01:28:47,020 --> 01:28:49,323
- Lifetime after lifetime...
- 1348
- 01:28:51,591 --> 01:28:54,226
- Catalogued,
- packed with gloves,
- 1349
- 01:28:54,228 --> 01:28:56,130
- packed up, shipped away.
- 1350
- 01:28:59,565 --> 01:29:01,301
- Is that all there is?
- 1351
- 01:29:01,528 --> 01:29:06,528
