1
00:01:01,561 --> 00:01:05,482
I was 18
when I wrote my novel "Sarah.
2
00:01:05,607 --> 00:01:08,944
Never thought it'd become a best seller
with all these fancy people
3
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:13,698
wantin' to meet me,
the elusive JT Leroy,
4
00:01:15,075 --> 00:01:19,663
but I prefer to be a shut-in 'cause
when I'm writin' or on the phone,
5
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:23,166
I get to show people
exactly what I wanna show 'em.
6
00:01:23,291 --> 00:01:28,463
I can focus on the words
and just... leave my body behind.
7
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:56,157
- Dude, it's so good.
- Yeah?
8
00:01:56,908 --> 00:01:59,452
We just got the demos back
from the studio,
9
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:01,663
so, yeah, I'm pretty fuckin' excited.
10
00:02:05,208 --> 00:02:08,878
- Is that her? Is that Laura?
- Uh-huh. Yeah, no, that's her.
11
00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:10,755
- Cool.
- Pretty fucking great, right?
12
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,090
Yeah.
13
00:02:12,215 --> 00:02:13,550
Man, she's...
14
00:02:14,509 --> 00:02:16,678
I just can't wait for you to meet her.
15
00:02:19,014 --> 00:02:21,516
I fucking live here now.
I can't believe this.
16
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:23,518
Fuck, yes, you live here!
17
00:02:24,436 --> 00:02:26,438
Dude, you made it out of Mom's place.
18
00:02:26,813 --> 00:02:30,400
You're going up in the world.
I'm proud of you. Proud of you.
19
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:31,609
Thanks.
20
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,253
Hey, hey!
21
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:53,631
Hey, come in. This is us.
22
00:02:53,757 --> 00:02:57,344
Kitchen's right over here. Cooker.
Careful. There's books everywhere.
23
00:02:57,469 --> 00:02:59,512
- These are beautiful.
- I wouldn't touch that.
24
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:01,765
We got lead. I had it tested.
25
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:05,268
All right, this is it.
This is where the magic happens.
26
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,230
- This is so cool, Geoff.
- Right? Now, listen.
27
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:14,152
Couch opens up. Make yourself comfy
and I'll make some tea. You want a tea?
28
00:03:15,111 --> 00:03:16,571
I'd love a beer.
29
00:03:17,489 --> 00:03:19,282
Beer. Right on. OK. You're in luck.
30
00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:23,203
I just made a fresh batch
of home brew. Cool.
31
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:25,080
Hey, yo! Come meet my sister!
32
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,623
Be right there!
33
00:03:27,874 --> 00:03:30,144
Anyway, every time I tell 'em no,
34
00:03:30,168 --> 00:03:32,754
I can feel 'em wantin' more.
35
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:37,133
They just can't believe this itty-bitty
Southern rent boy is denying 'em.
36
00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,721
I gotta admit, I like having the power.
37
00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:46,309
All right, yeah. Yeah, thanks.
38
00:03:47,102 --> 00:03:49,020
Same time tomorrow. Bye.
39
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:53,024
Where is she?
40
00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:55,443
- Where is she?
- Hey.
41
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:59,781
Oh, look at you. Oh, Savannah.
42
00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:03,201
Geoff's baby sister.
43
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:05,763
- Oh, I see your soul in your smile.
- Cool, you guys have met.
44
00:04:05,787 --> 00:04:07,622
- You guys have met.
- Look at this creature.
45
00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:10,067
- Welcome to our little chateau.
- Just as you said.
46
00:04:10,166 --> 00:04:12,086
- The smile I fell in love with.
- You made this?
47
00:04:12,127 --> 00:04:15,338
- I'm getting good at this.
- You're good at everything, baby.
48
00:04:16,381 --> 00:04:17,674
I heard the music in the car.
49
00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:20,510
- It is good. It's really...
- Amazing, right?
50
00:04:20,635 --> 00:04:23,179
It's so cool! He's in a zone!
51
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:26,433
- I'm just writin' lyrics.
- She's just writing...? No, no.
52
00:04:26,558 --> 00:04:29,185
This woman is turning my music
into these beautiful songs.
53
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,271
We're writing two, three songs a day.
It's insane.
54
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:33,356
- He's on fire.
- Sounds like it's happening.
55
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,025
- You're on fire.
- We're on fire.
56
00:04:36,151 --> 00:04:39,237
- What's that?
- Oh, it's just this thing I made.
57
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:41,162
I had an extra roll of duct tape
lying around.
58
00:04:41,197 --> 00:04:43,992
- Wait a minute. Hold on.
- That's pretty cool.
59
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:47,871
Yeah. Just a thing you made?
That is not just a thing.
60
00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:52,959
What is that, like magical unicorn
backpack? That is blowing my mind.
61
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:56,671
That's pure art.
That's like creative genius.
62
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:59,174
Don't... Don't put that stuff down.
Right, baby?
63
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:00,300
Hm-hmm.
64
00:05:00,425 --> 00:05:03,011
- Yeah. Yeah. No, fuck, yeah. Of course.
- Right?
65
00:05:03,136 --> 00:05:04,736
You gotta take her
to Lee's party.
66
00:05:04,804 --> 00:05:06,139
- Right?
- You gotta go.
67
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:08,433
- We gotta go! We gotta go!
- Yeah, first night!
68
00:05:08,558 --> 00:05:10,118
- You're gonna come?
- Of course.
69
00:05:10,226 --> 00:05:12,395
- Anything you wanna do, I'm open.
- You gonna come?
70
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,040
- She just got here. You've gotta come.
- If you want me to come...
71
00:05:15,064 --> 00:05:17,609
Come on, we don't want you to come,
we need you to come.
72
00:05:17,734 --> 00:05:19,277
- You're pulling me in.
- We need you.
73
00:05:19,402 --> 00:05:22,655
You're dragging me into a celebration!
74
00:05:22,780 --> 00:05:26,451
You're going to Lee's party!
Sav's in San Francisco!
75
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,620
Yo, what's up?
76
00:05:29,287 --> 00:05:31,039
Hey, what's up?
77
00:05:31,164 --> 00:05:35,960
I'll put this on you. We share clothes.
God, it looks amazing with your hair.
78
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:38,254
Oh, Samuel!
79
00:05:38,963 --> 00:05:41,424
This is Geoff's sister Savannah!
80
00:05:41,883 --> 00:05:43,468
She's taking over his old apartment.
81
00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:48,681
- I'm Sav, nice to meet you.
- Twist & Scream poster is on the wall.
82
00:05:48,806 --> 00:05:49,933
Oh, shit!
83
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:52,018
That's so beautiful.
That's our band. Yeah.
84
00:05:52,143 --> 00:05:53,144
No way!
85
00:05:53,269 --> 00:05:55,313
- So you're an artist?
- Yeah. Yeah.
86
00:05:55,438 --> 00:05:56,731
- What's your name?
- Sophie.
87
00:05:56,856 --> 00:05:59,943
- Sophie. What kind of art?
- It's, like, conceptual.
88
00:06:07,659 --> 00:06:09,744
And the writing has been amazing.
89
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:12,288
I'm finally not paying the rent
with phone sex.
90
00:06:12,956 --> 00:06:15,458
And I'm getting some offers.
It's like...
91
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:18,878
- You say you did phone sex?
- Yeah. Oh, yeah.
92
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:21,548
It's one of the more creative jobs ever.
93
00:06:21,673 --> 00:06:23,673
You know, you have to get
into the role-play of it.
94
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:26,761
But as a writer, it's in the madness
of creating a character,
95
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:28,388
you know what I mean?
96
00:06:30,974 --> 00:06:34,227
And then their attention
turns to Sophie?
97
00:06:35,353 --> 00:06:37,772
Because of her rinky-dink paintings?
98
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:42,068
I mean, I'm sorry, but, like, she's
getting that 'cause she's a cute girl
99
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:45,446
with a cute little fucking ass,
and her cute little art.
100
00:06:47,323 --> 00:06:51,744
Can you imagine
if they knew I was JT Leroy?
101
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,540
Right?
102
00:06:55,665 --> 00:06:58,459
If they knew I was
a New York Times best-selling author?
103
00:06:58,585 --> 00:07:01,963
- I mean, that's so crazy.
- Yeah, well, then tell them!
104
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:03,339
Geoff.
105
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:06,676
You know I can't do that.
106
00:07:12,849 --> 00:07:14,892
I've got an idea.
107
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:19,897
What if I do go out,
but with some kind of disguise?
108
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:30,033
Oh!
109
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:33,369
- What's up?
- You wanna keep a secret?
110
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:41,252
What's this?
111
00:07:41,377 --> 00:07:45,632
It's my book Sarah.
My shot at immortality.
112
00:07:46,841 --> 00:07:49,260
Oh, so JT's like your pen name.
113
00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:51,971
More like my avatar.
114
00:07:53,056 --> 00:07:54,223
Who is this kid?
115
00:07:54,349 --> 00:07:56,476
That's just a photo
I found at a thrift store.
116
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:59,646
I loved it 'cause he looks like a kid
in a Dennis Cooper novel.
117
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:03,316
- I love Dennis Cooper.
- Of course you do. Oh!
118
00:08:03,441 --> 00:08:05,068
Hey, do you know Mary Gaitskill?
119
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:08,571
Um, yeah, but I haven't... I haven't
read any of her stuff. I want to.
120
00:08:08,696 --> 00:08:09,906
Oh, you're gonna love it.
121
00:08:10,031 --> 00:08:12,241
I'm just finishing the Colette books
right now.
122
00:08:12,367 --> 00:08:14,827
My God, I remember the first time
I read Colette.
123
00:08:14,952 --> 00:08:16,913
I'd feel so French and...
124
00:08:19,707 --> 00:08:23,461
All this great writing
that comes from distress.
125
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:26,422
But it has beauty in it too, you know?
126
00:08:26,547 --> 00:08:28,508
Like, JT certainly had that.
127
00:08:28,633 --> 00:08:32,303
Like, his grandparents
were fundamentalists, super sadistic.
128
00:08:35,723 --> 00:08:39,644
- Hey, let me know what you think.
- Of course. Yeah.
129
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:43,272
Hello? Hi.
130
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:47,777
It's my first day on the lot.
131
00:08:48,986 --> 00:08:53,199
I'm wearing the golden Rapunzel wig
bestowed upon me by my mother, Sarah.
132
00:08:53,324 --> 00:08:55,451
The legendary beauty
and fiercest hooker
133
00:08:55,576 --> 00:08:58,162
that ever did work
a truck stop down South.
134
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:03,084
In her high heels, I strut between
the long shimmering lines of big rigs.
135
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:05,628
Cash's hand is like
the maw of some big animal
136
00:09:05,753 --> 00:09:09,132
as he opens it
revealing a raccoon penis bone,
137
00:09:09,257 --> 00:09:13,302
the talisman that distinguishes
his asphalt girls from all others.
138
00:09:13,428 --> 00:09:17,765
The bigger the bone, the more in demand
her soft girl material is.
139
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:20,476
If you didn't notice
the raccoon penis bone necklaces
140
00:09:20,601 --> 00:09:22,228
and you didn't know what that meant,
141
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:24,897
you'd never know
they were actually boys.
142
00:09:25,565 --> 00:09:26,805
You got to earn that raccoon...
143
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:31,237
The mob surrounds me, tearing
at my lace, ripping my hard-won finery.
144
00:09:31,362 --> 00:09:32,739
"It's a goddamn boy!" they yell,
145
00:09:32,864 --> 00:09:36,367
hungry jackals baying at the moon
while chasing me through the woods.
146
00:09:36,492 --> 00:09:37,994
This is all I am.
147
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:41,748
A bloody, glittering heart thumping
under a bruise-black sky,
148
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:45,084
refusing to let anyone tell me
who I'm supposed to be.
149
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:59,432
I found it so beautiful. It's crazy.
150
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:05,271
I've never read anything like it,
and it's really painful, you know,
151
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:08,775
but, like, fucking magic
and I can't even...
152
00:10:09,776 --> 00:10:11,110
I can't think of the right way
153
00:10:11,235 --> 00:10:13,529
to describe how it makes me feel,
honestly.
154
00:10:13,654 --> 00:10:15,948
Oh, my God!
155
00:10:16,073 --> 00:10:19,118
That's so beautiful
to hear you talk about it that way.
156
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,454
God! Of course you so get it.
157
00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:28,127
I don't know if Geoff told you.
I was in such a dark place, you know?
158
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,880
The soul or spirit
or whatever you wanna call it
159
00:10:31,005 --> 00:10:33,966
just... embodied me.
160
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:41,599
This Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy.
161
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:46,354
Jeremiah Terminator LeRoy...
162
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:48,231
Wow.
163
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:52,109
Then he started calling this therapist
who told JT,
164
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:54,695
"Hey, you should write
your story down."
165
00:10:55,363 --> 00:10:59,826
It's kind of amazing
sharing this with you 'cause...
166
00:11:00,451 --> 00:11:04,413
um... when I first saw you,
I thought you looked like him.
167
00:11:05,081 --> 00:11:06,916
- Huh?
- It's why I was just...
168
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:09,794
I wanted to ask you if I could
take a picture of you as him.
169
00:11:10,378 --> 00:11:12,421
Well, what do you mean? Like...
170
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:15,258
I've been JT on the phone for years,
171
00:11:15,383 --> 00:11:18,469
and people need to see him now.
172
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:23,933
I mean, I'm... a girl, you know,
just to state the obvious.
173
00:11:24,058 --> 00:11:25,434
No! No!
174
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,355
That's what's beautiful.
He's androgynous. You know? He's like,
175
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:35,069
you know, discovering his own identity.
Boy, girl. He's in disguise.
176
00:11:35,194 --> 00:11:37,613
I'd pay you 50 bucks.
It's for Interview magazine.
177
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,366
Sav! Interview magazine.
178
00:11:40,491 --> 00:11:41,993
What do you think?
179
00:11:44,829 --> 00:11:47,415
I mean... Yeah, sure. Why not?
180
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:25,261
Oh, really? This is what it looks like?
181
00:12:25,286 --> 00:12:26,787
- Yeah.
- Ew.
182
00:12:27,955 --> 00:12:29,749
- Looks great.
- Yeah.
183
00:12:38,716 --> 00:12:41,594
So put your chin down. Perfect.
184
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:43,930
Little bit to the right.
New just give me eyes though.
185
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:46,599
A little bit... Perfect.
186
00:13:03,032 --> 00:13:06,494
Oh, my God, I'm getting chills.
187
00:13:06,619 --> 00:13:08,704
- Sav, you look great.
- That's JT.
188
00:13:08,829 --> 00:13:11,540
- It's fucking perfect.
- You don't wanna do one more?
189
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:14,669
Are you kidding?
These are $12 a box. Let's go!
190
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:19,423
I did it.
191
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:24,804
This is a whole new beginning for me.
Like a whole new world.
192
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:45,533
Here you go. You all good?
193
00:13:46,409 --> 00:13:48,411
That hair looks good on you.
194
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:52,623
Thank you. I was noticing your shoes.
195
00:13:53,624 --> 00:13:56,168
- I've never seen that.
- Yeah.
196
00:13:56,293 --> 00:13:58,546
Free the toes and the rest will follow.
197
00:14:01,590 --> 00:14:05,011
You've been in here. I've seen you
in here. Do you live nearby?
198
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:09,390
Pretty close. Mission.
199
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:12,518
- You?
- Uh, SoMa.
200
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:14,437
Right.
201
00:14:21,444 --> 00:14:24,238
If you need anything,
I'm gonna be working here
202
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:27,450
for the rest of the time
you'll be here, so...
203
00:14:28,784 --> 00:14:30,911
- OK.
- OK.
204
00:14:43,841 --> 00:14:44,842
Hello?
205
00:14:44,967 --> 00:14:47,053
Savannah. It's Laura.
Oh, my God, how are you?
206
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:49,138
Can you do it one more time?
207
00:14:51,098 --> 00:14:53,559
Hey, I'm JT Leroy.
208
00:14:54,351 --> 00:14:56,395
Hey, I'm JT Leroy.
209
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:01,150
Hey, I'm JT Leroy.
210
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,652
Hey, I'm JT Leroy.
211
00:15:06,405 --> 00:15:07,531
It's great.
212
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:11,243
I mean, it's one thing taking a photo,
213
00:15:11,368 --> 00:15:14,872
maybe saying like, "Hey, I'm JT Leroy,"
but it's another thing being him.
214
00:15:14,997 --> 00:15:17,225
No, no! First of all,
I did the interview already.
215
00:15:17,249 --> 00:15:19,251
It's not like
he's trying to talk to you.
216
00:15:19,376 --> 00:15:20,711
He just wants to get the picture.
217
00:15:20,836 --> 00:15:23,214
And besides,
when you're meeting someone new,
218
00:15:23,339 --> 00:15:25,466
would you ever question
who they say they are?
219
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:28,052
It's gonna be perfect. Here.
220
00:15:28,177 --> 00:15:32,014
This is an interview with JT
so you can listen to the voice.
221
00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:33,724
Oh, I've gotta show you.
222
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:38,187
There's this unbelievably, like,
hot-as-fuck actress,
223
00:15:38,312 --> 00:15:42,274
Eva Avelin, from Europe.
The book is doing really well there.
224
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,151
She's been calling JT every night.
225
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:47,780
Just, like, obsessing and we're
finishing each other's sentences.
226
00:15:49,281 --> 00:15:52,952
- Whoa.
- Yeah. D'you want a cookie?
227
00:15:55,496 --> 00:15:58,040
No, cookies produce curves.
I can't do it.
228
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:02,128
What? You can't, like, eat cookies
and be goth?
229
00:16:03,003 --> 00:16:06,257
I'm... I'm not goth.
230
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:08,092
Just skinny?
231
00:16:08,217 --> 00:16:12,388
No, not necessarily, just no... curves.
232
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:17,059
Is that why you're, like, binding it up
and wearing sports bras all the time?
233
00:16:17,768 --> 00:16:18,978
That's perfect for JT.
234
00:16:19,311 --> 00:16:21,188
Get rid of the boobs,
you're already there.
235
00:16:21,522 --> 00:16:22,523
Yeah.
236
00:16:23,232 --> 00:16:26,110
Today I'm speaking with JT Leroy,
237
00:16:26,235 --> 00:16:27,778
the young writer of "Sarah",
238
00:16:27,903 --> 00:16:30,614
a best-selling novel
based on his experience
239
00:16:30,739 --> 00:16:35,077
as the son of a prostitute
who worked truck stops in the South.
240
00:16:35,202 --> 00:16:40,082
JT, your mother used to pass you off
as her younger sister?
241
00:16:40,207 --> 00:16:42,334
Yeah. I mean...
242
00:16:42,459 --> 00:16:46,130
Sarah, she knew that johns
didn't like having a boy around,
243
00:16:46,255 --> 00:16:49,258
so she made it two pretty girls.
244
00:16:49,383 --> 00:16:52,303
'Cause she knew
they'd get twice the attention.
245
00:16:52,428 --> 00:16:53,804
Sav, you're cool with this, right?
246
00:16:53,929 --> 00:16:56,974
I mean, you don't have to do it
if you don't want to.
247
00:16:57,516 --> 00:17:00,102
Yeah, no, no, totally. I'm into it.
248
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:04,064
Did your mother expect you
to engage in prostitution?
249
00:17:04,190 --> 00:17:07,151
I mean,
she didn't force me or nothin', but...
250
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:09,671
- She didn't force me or nothin'.
- Part of me really liked it.
251
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:11,780
I don't quite understand it
a hundred percent, but...
252
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:14,992
Yeah, it's... it's... complicated.
253
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,244
- I loved dressing up...
- I loved dressing up...
254
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:19,622
- Putting on clothes.
- Putting on clothes.
255
00:17:19,747 --> 00:17:22,750
- Turning into someone else.
- Turning into someone else.
256
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:25,753
Look, Laura is on the phone
all the time as JT,
257
00:17:25,878 --> 00:17:28,589
but she also pretends
to be his manager, Speedie.
258
00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:32,885
- And she deemed me Astor.
- Astor?
259
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:36,805
Astor's, like, Speedie's boyfriend,
and we saved JT from the streets.
260
00:17:36,931 --> 00:17:39,391
Now we're like this "happy family"
and shit.
261
00:17:39,516 --> 00:17:42,811
My books are fiction.
I mean, I tell stories,
262
00:17:42,937 --> 00:17:46,232
but sometimes the lies
are more true than the truth.
263
00:17:46,357 --> 00:17:47,816
More true than the truth.
264
00:17:47,942 --> 00:17:50,986
Sometimes the lie is more true
than the truth.
265
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:55,074
Trust me, this whole thing
is crazy for me too.
266
00:17:55,199 --> 00:17:57,243
I mean, didn't expect
to be moving in
267
00:17:57,368 --> 00:18:02,081
with a teenage male prostitute
and an obnoxious, loud British woman.
268
00:18:02,915 --> 00:18:05,000
Obnoxious, loud British woman?
269
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:07,711
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's... That's Speedie.
270
00:18:08,963 --> 00:18:11,715
Well, 'ello,
you right little bugger.
271
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,968
I thought you weren't gonna show.
272
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:17,429
Ready for the shoot?
Bruce, this is JT!
273
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,599
- Hi, JT.
- Say 'ello.
274
00:18:22,017 --> 00:18:23,143
Hi.
275
00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:29,858
Yeah. He gets a bit nervous.
276
00:18:30,859 --> 00:18:35,072
And also, by the way,
he don't like to be touched, all right?
277
00:18:35,197 --> 00:18:38,867
So I give you full permission.
Poke around, find your shot,
278
00:18:38,993 --> 00:18:40,661
but, like, in this room.
279
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:44,248
Hey, JT. I'm so glad
that we could make this work.
280
00:18:44,373 --> 00:18:47,251
- Right.
- I bought this from you online.
281
00:18:47,376 --> 00:18:48,460
Oh!
282
00:18:48,585 --> 00:18:50,879
And I know how much you like chocolate.
283
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:54,675
What? Nothin' for the handler?
I like it too.
284
00:18:55,968 --> 00:18:57,636
- Great room.
- Great.
285
00:18:57,761 --> 00:18:59,305
My sister's got great taste.
286
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:03,350
So, JT, why you don't tell me
where you two guys live?
287
00:19:06,061 --> 00:19:07,563
Well, I live in...
288
00:19:08,188 --> 00:19:10,065
- Tenderloin.
- Yeah. Over there.
289
00:19:10,190 --> 00:19:11,650
Oh, cool.
290
00:19:11,942 --> 00:19:13,569
- There we go.
- You know,
291
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:16,655
if you can get
that Twist & Scream poster in,
292
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:20,659
that's me sister's band and JT loves it.
You'd like that, right?
293
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:24,204
I think we need
to loosen up a little bit.
294
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:25,581
- Oh, loosen up?
- Yeah, we do.
295
00:19:25,706 --> 00:19:30,586
Shake up them muscles, little lovey.
You like that?
296
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:33,255
Great. Great. I got an idea.
297
00:19:33,380 --> 00:19:34,548
Why don't you, um...
298
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,635
just try standing on this?
299
00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:45,726
I'm not really a skater,
so it's kinda weird.
300
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,561
OK, how about...
301
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,313
You know what? Wait.
302
00:19:49,438 --> 00:19:50,439
Um...
303
00:19:51,231 --> 00:19:54,777
I've got... JT loves makeup.
304
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,404
What about lipstick? Right?
305
00:19:57,529 --> 00:20:00,699
You wanna put some lipstick on, love?
In the mirror?
306
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:03,577
- It could be good, right?
- Let's try it. We can get right...
307
00:20:04,161 --> 00:20:06,413
This is nice.
308
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:07,915
Do you like it?
309
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,918
- Good. Really nice. Slowly.
- Nice!
310
00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:14,046
- Apply it slowly to your face.
- I'm worried that that skateboard...
311
00:20:14,171 --> 00:20:15,214
Lean into the mirror.
312
00:20:15,339 --> 00:20:18,175
- Speedie, you're in the shot.
- Oh. Sorry.
313
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:20,219
Come out. Come on out. Good.
314
00:20:20,344 --> 00:20:23,055
Beautiful, JT. Beautiful.
315
00:20:23,180 --> 00:20:25,057
- Beautiful.
- Shit.
316
00:20:25,182 --> 00:20:27,059
- Beautiful.
- It's all right.
317
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:29,269
- I'm just gonna take a leak.
- OK.
318
00:20:31,897 --> 00:20:37,569
- Yeah, I think he's done.
- Ooh, I just... I only shot one roll.
319
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:40,447
No, no, you don't know how fortunate
you are to get the shot at all.
320
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:41,657
I understand that.
321
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:43,782
You're the first person
who's ever taken his photo.
322
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:44,868
Thank you.
323
00:20:44,993 --> 00:20:46,553
He's been in the house
for three months.
324
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,747
But my editor's gonna want
more than one shot.
325
00:20:48,872 --> 00:20:51,375
- I know, but he's delicate.
- Hey, JT.
326
00:20:53,419 --> 00:20:55,421
What do you say
we do a couple more, huh?
327
00:20:56,296 --> 00:20:57,381
Um...
328
00:20:59,133 --> 00:21:00,926
JT, you...
329
00:21:01,885 --> 00:21:05,055
Yeah, nah, I think we're done, Bruce.
330
00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:07,224
Thank you for understanding.
331
00:21:07,349 --> 00:21:11,437
But I bet you got a great shot, right?
332
00:21:11,562 --> 00:21:13,730
- Thank you, JT, for your time.
- Yeah, thanks.
333
00:21:13,856 --> 00:21:16,042
- It was a real pleasure.
- You did great.
334
00:21:16,066 --> 00:21:20,070
- Speedie?
- All right, thank you, Bruce.
335
00:21:20,195 --> 00:21:23,866
- Thank you.
- I'm sure it will be great.
336
00:21:23,991 --> 00:21:26,827
- And we'll see the shots soon.
- OK. Great.
337
00:21:26,952 --> 00:21:28,620
All right then.
338
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:39,798
- You were fuckin' great!
- Disaster vibes.
339
00:21:39,923 --> 00:21:42,176
- You were great!
- Oh, my God! I'm so sorry.
340
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:43,343
Sorry?
341
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:45,721
- What are you talking about?
- I can't do that accent.
342
00:21:45,846 --> 00:21:48,599
He could so see that I was a girl.
I could see him looking at me.
343
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:52,311
Not at all. He never suspected anything.
It was the opposite.
344
00:21:52,436 --> 00:21:54,688
He wanted you to go home with him.
345
00:21:54,813 --> 00:21:59,318
Fuck, you were great.
And playing Speedie was so cool, right?
346
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:01,653
Like, not giving a fuck
what anybody thinks of you,
347
00:22:01,778 --> 00:22:04,698
you just say whatever the fuck's
on your mind! I love 'er!
348
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:07,701
What about when you answered every
question for me? It was so obvious.
349
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,828
No, that's so JT. He's nervous.
350
00:22:09,953 --> 00:22:12,456
He can't speak for himself.
That was perfect.
351
00:22:13,749 --> 00:22:15,584
Oh, Sav, trust me.
352
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:18,003
I learned about this
from my phone sex days.
353
00:22:18,128 --> 00:22:20,839
You establish yourself
as someone else, right?
354
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:25,010
You can do that. Then drop the accent
and nobody even notices.
355
00:22:25,886 --> 00:22:30,432
And he's elusive. That's the mystery
and people love mystery.
356
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:33,143
I almost puked when I walked in.
357
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:36,438
Oh, that's so JT.
That was what was so perfect.
358
00:22:36,563 --> 00:22:39,942
He looked nauseous
and nervous and awkward.
359
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:43,946
Oh, my God, on Friday night,
we've got the reading
360
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:46,323
and there are all these fabulous people
that will show up
361
00:22:46,448 --> 00:22:48,492
and read for him
'cause he's never there.
362
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:51,745
What if you just showed up
and just, like, hyperventilate?
363
00:22:51,870 --> 00:22:53,789
- No way.
- Run out like you're gonna throw up?
364
00:22:53,914 --> 00:22:56,041
- No way.
- Yes way!
365
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,627
I can't. It was sickening.
366
00:22:58,752 --> 00:23:02,130
That's that feeling.
That's what's so beautiful.
367
00:23:02,256 --> 00:23:05,801
It's that feeling we all get, like,
right before we do something important.
368
00:23:15,185 --> 00:23:18,397
You know what? Don't worry about it.
369
00:23:18,522 --> 00:23:19,940
I can get somebody else next time.
370
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:23,235
I gotta go 'cause Geoff and I
have band practice.
371
00:23:24,611 --> 00:23:26,321
Shit. I'm late.
372
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:28,865
I'm just gonna go like this.
OK, Sav. Here.
373
00:23:28,991 --> 00:23:30,200
Oh, thanks. I...
374
00:23:30,325 --> 00:23:34,079
As promised, love.
Thank you, ta very much.
375
00:23:34,997 --> 00:23:37,457
- Oh, my God, that was so fun.
- See ya.
376
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:49,553
Thank you.
JT actually isn't feeling well,
377
00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:53,473
so I'm sorry to say
he won't be joining us after all.
378
00:23:57,728 --> 00:23:59,563
Told you. This is some sort of hoax.
379
00:23:59,688 --> 00:24:01,148
Right?
380
00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:18,558
Hello?
381
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:21,603
Sav. Can you come over tonight?
I have big news.
382
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:24,106
My God! Get in here.
383
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:26,942
You're not gonna believe
what I'm gonna tell you. Are you ready?
384
00:25:27,067 --> 00:25:30,904
A Hollywood producer
wants to make Sarah into a movie.
385
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:34,157
- What? No way. Are you serious?
- Can you imagine?
386
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:37,285
Sarah on the big screen?
387
00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:40,247
Yeah, yeah. That'd be epic.
388
00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:43,250
JT can do his thing
and say, you know,
389
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:47,546
hey, I'm an agoraphobe who just wants
his autonomy respected, but...
390
00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:51,550
I don't think so.
I think this is too big an opportunity.
391
00:25:55,429 --> 00:25:57,639
You... us... tonight?
392
00:25:57,764 --> 00:26:02,060
No, no, silly. This weekend. In LA.
393
00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:04,271
We'd stay at her house.
394
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:06,690
There's a party, a reading,
a photo shoot.
395
00:26:06,815 --> 00:26:09,151
Come on, it'll be fun.
396
00:26:09,276 --> 00:26:11,611
No, just 'cause I...
I'm working this weekend.
397
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:13,405
That's... That's the only thing.
398
00:26:15,157 --> 00:26:16,575
Sweet girl.
399
00:26:17,909 --> 00:26:19,828
I know the photo shoot was intense.
400
00:26:20,287 --> 00:26:22,414
Right? It was a lot.
401
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:26,960
But, Sav, there was a light in you.
402
00:26:28,336 --> 00:26:30,046
And I...
403
00:26:30,172 --> 00:26:35,635
I felt him leave my body
and enter yours.
404
00:26:40,557 --> 00:26:46,897
I mean, I was in high school when,
I don't know, he was turning tricks.
405
00:26:48,732 --> 00:26:51,943
Am I interesting enough to, like,
be him?
406
00:26:52,068 --> 00:26:53,278
What?
407
00:26:53,403 --> 00:26:56,990
You are interesting.
Are you kidding me? Sav.
408
00:26:58,116 --> 00:26:59,618
You're incredible.
409
00:26:59,743 --> 00:27:03,330
I don't hate myself, I just...
That's so different.
410
00:27:03,455 --> 00:27:05,457
I think you gotta think about this
differently.
411
00:27:06,082 --> 00:27:10,754
I mean, we're talking Warhol,
Ziggy Stardust, Grace Jones.
412
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:14,143
What if you wake up one morning
and say, "I wanna be somebody else?"
413
00:27:14,216 --> 00:27:17,177
That's what they did.
They didn't wait for permission.
414
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:20,305
Well, yeah, I... I know that feeling.
415
00:27:22,182 --> 00:27:24,518
I knew I wanted to be an artist,
right?
416
00:27:25,769 --> 00:27:28,522
'Cause I was like, I wanna have a life.
417
00:27:28,647 --> 00:27:32,567
I don't wanna live in a fuckin' cubicle
nine to fucking five.
418
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:34,778
That's not who I am.
419
00:27:35,529 --> 00:27:38,281
Fine! Fine! Spend my life,
"Hello, hi. Wanna fuck?"
420
00:27:38,406 --> 00:27:40,450
Doing phone sex for the rest of my life?
421
00:27:40,575 --> 00:27:42,494
No. I'm a writer.
422
00:27:43,328 --> 00:27:46,915
I spent my twenties and thirties
waiting for somebody to discover me,
423
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,043
somebody to give me permission?
424
00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:52,462
Nobody gives you anything.
425
00:27:52,587 --> 00:27:53,839
You have to take it.
426
00:27:55,382 --> 00:27:56,925
Are you gonna take it?
427
00:27:59,594 --> 00:28:02,597
You've got all these selves
inside of you. Explore them.
428
00:28:02,722 --> 00:28:05,851
This is your time.
Find out who the fuck you are.
429
00:28:16,528 --> 00:28:18,280
- Oh, shit.
- Are we out of chips?
430
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:19,781
We ate three bags of chips?
431
00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:22,409
I'm gonna be sweating potato chips.
432
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:26,413
Don't worry. No food tomorrow,
but we need the sweet with the salty.
433
00:28:26,538 --> 00:28:28,748
- I don't.
- Secret stash.
434
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:31,376
- Chocolate.
- I'm OK.
435
00:28:32,252 --> 00:28:33,295
- Yeah?
- Uh-uh.
436
00:28:36,256 --> 00:28:39,718
- Tell me about this boy.
- Sean? What about him?
437
00:28:39,843 --> 00:28:42,929
Well, you date men?
438
00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:48,560
Sometimes.
If they're as cute as he is, I do.
439
00:28:48,685 --> 00:28:51,021
But I'm open. I like girls, obviously.
440
00:28:52,022 --> 00:28:54,691
I can't go to any more dyke nights.
It makes me so uncomfortable.
441
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:57,569
It's so embarrassing.
The music's so awful.
442
00:28:57,694 --> 00:29:00,739
Did Geoff ever tell you I pretended
to be a dyke when we first met?
443
00:29:00,864 --> 00:29:03,033
No. Why?
444
00:29:03,158 --> 00:29:06,620
Because...
he was just so good-looking.
445
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:10,081
You know, I wanted to know
if he liked me for me.
446
00:29:10,707 --> 00:29:11,958
Ah.
447
00:29:12,626 --> 00:29:15,503
Test the waters
and not be the fat girl swooning.
448
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:17,380
Hey.
449
00:29:17,505 --> 00:29:22,052
I was a hundred pounds fatter
than I am now.
450
00:29:22,886 --> 00:29:25,305
Oh. I didn't realize that.
451
00:29:25,972 --> 00:29:28,391
Good thing
I'm not terrified of the knife.
452
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:32,646
But I've been with women before.
453
00:29:33,355 --> 00:29:35,023
Especially in the group home.
454
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:37,317
How was that?
455
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,278
Sex was amazing.
456
00:29:40,403 --> 00:29:42,614
No, I mean the group home.
457
00:29:43,323 --> 00:29:44,991
Oh.
458
00:29:45,116 --> 00:29:46,159
Rough.
459
00:29:47,744 --> 00:29:50,163
But it gave me the tough skin I live in.
460
00:29:52,999 --> 00:29:57,087
You know I used to sneak out at night
and call suicide hotlines for help,
461
00:29:57,212 --> 00:30:01,049
and I could never... be me.
462
00:30:02,884 --> 00:30:05,720
I'd create characters, usually boys.
463
00:30:07,597 --> 00:30:10,183
Some of them didn't make it, but JT...
464
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:14,312
JT kept calling.
465
00:30:16,147 --> 00:30:19,526
And it felt so good
to not have to be in this body.
466
00:30:20,402 --> 00:30:23,530
You know?
To be as far away from it as possible.
467
00:30:26,199 --> 00:30:27,325
I get that.
468
00:30:58,940 --> 00:30:59,941
JT!
469
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:01,443
Oh, my God!
470
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:03,361
JT!
471
00:31:04,738 --> 00:31:07,365
Oh, my God,
it's so good to finally meet you.
472
00:31:08,366 --> 00:31:11,995
- This is amazing!
- Right?
473
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,373
JT, keep writing them books.
Maybe you'll get a house like this.
474
00:31:15,498 --> 00:31:17,792
Oh, no, JT,
the real money's in screenwriting.
475
00:31:17,917 --> 00:31:21,046
You should write me a part. A cool part.
I could play a lot lizard.
476
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:25,383
- Oh. You already got an actor.
- The guest bedroom's this way.
477
00:31:25,967 --> 00:31:29,095
I don't think
we've been in a guest room.
478
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:30,930
It's amazing.
479
00:31:31,056 --> 00:31:34,225
- Oh, my God, what a house.
- Thank you.
480
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:38,980
Oh, and JT brought you
a little prezzie.
481
00:31:39,105 --> 00:31:40,148
Ah.
482
00:31:40,273 --> 00:31:42,525
Not really from Neiman Marcus.
483
00:31:42,650 --> 00:31:45,904
I stole that bag out of
my neighbor's recycling, but...
484
00:31:48,948 --> 00:31:52,285
Oh, little mini onions. How cute.
485
00:31:53,453 --> 00:31:54,621
And...
486
00:31:54,746 --> 00:31:56,915
baked beans.
487
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:02,045
- Oh, God. I've needed one of these.
- Those are great, right?
488
00:32:05,548 --> 00:32:09,052
I love that
you're quite good at that.
489
00:32:09,177 --> 00:32:11,471
That's all I'm gonna say.
490
00:32:15,016 --> 00:32:16,059
Oh!
491
00:32:16,184 --> 00:32:20,980
And JT wrote all the lyrics
to our band's songs, Twist & Scream.
492
00:32:21,856 --> 00:32:23,441
Thought you'd love it.
493
00:32:23,566 --> 00:32:25,026
Oh, that's so cool.
494
00:32:25,735 --> 00:32:27,946
JT, did you get that book I sent you?
495
00:32:30,532 --> 00:32:31,699
Yeah, we loved it.
496
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:33,868
Yeah, yeah. It's real good.
497
00:32:35,870 --> 00:32:37,872
JT, what are you wearing?
498
00:32:40,416 --> 00:32:42,335
What... What is going on?
499
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:44,712
What's happening to all the money?
500
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,216
There's not much money though yet.
501
00:32:50,176 --> 00:32:52,470
Why do you keep answering for him?
502
00:32:55,473 --> 00:32:58,434
He's a deaf mute.
503
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:03,565
That's the way it feels
because he hates talking about money,
504
00:33:03,690 --> 00:33:05,233
hates business talk.
505
00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:08,695
You know, it's like art, art, art.
Keep it pure.
506
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,031
I mean, we're two orphans, fuck,
who found each other.
507
00:33:12,157 --> 00:33:15,201
I don't know these things either,
so you're right. That's great advice.
508
00:33:15,326 --> 00:33:19,497
We need a guide, you know.
I'll get someone.
509
00:33:20,915 --> 00:33:23,084
OK, all right, Oliver Twist.
510
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:27,922
Come on.
511
00:33:30,008 --> 00:33:31,092
Hi, David.
512
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:35,054
Oh, my God. JT, listen to this.
Trying to emulate the icons.
513
00:33:35,180 --> 00:33:38,183
If I have to talk
to all of JT's friends as JT...
514
00:33:38,308 --> 00:33:40,602
We work off each other. You're perfect.
515
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:42,270
Totally trust yourself.
516
00:33:44,981 --> 00:33:46,149
JT, are you OK?
517
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:50,111
JT's a genius and Sav's a genius.
Don't you ever forget that.
518
00:33:51,487 --> 00:33:53,323
The bacon-wrapped dates are amazing.
519
00:33:53,448 --> 00:33:54,866
Oh, we don't eat pork.
520
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:57,342
Well, I was just being polite, but yeah.
521
00:33:57,452 --> 00:33:59,704
If you don't understand a reference,
just go with it.
522
00:33:59,829 --> 00:34:01,414
Do what I do. Hang a lantern on it.
523
00:34:01,539 --> 00:34:02,957
What is... what is that?
524
00:34:03,082 --> 00:34:05,682
You're so funny with the sunglasses, JT.
D'you ever take them off?
525
00:34:05,710 --> 00:34:08,004
It means if it's obvious,
make it more obvious.
526
00:34:08,129 --> 00:34:11,007
Let 'em see these beauties.
527
00:34:11,132 --> 00:34:12,508
Your eyes are so beautiful.
528
00:34:12,634 --> 00:34:14,552
It's like those Chinese finger puzzles.
529
00:34:14,677 --> 00:34:16,763
You go in further to get out.
530
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:20,099
Baby, we're at play
in the fields of the Lord.
531
00:34:24,103 --> 00:34:27,941
Look, there's Eva Avelin.
She's dying to do Sarah.
532
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:29,609
To direct and star in it.
533
00:34:32,528 --> 00:34:36,032
JT? Hi. John Bradwell.
534
00:34:36,157 --> 00:34:38,451
- We loved the piece you did on JT.
- Oh.
535
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:41,537
- Thoughtful, investigative.
- Wow.
536
00:34:41,663 --> 00:34:44,874
- Really a great piece.
- Thank you. Thank you.
537
00:34:45,875 --> 00:34:49,003
Um, I'm still living in San Francisco,
538
00:34:49,128 --> 00:34:52,257
so if you wanted to meet up
and continue that conversation...
539
00:34:52,382 --> 00:34:53,508
Yeah, definitely.
540
00:34:53,633 --> 00:34:56,010
- I'm just gonna grab...
- Right.
541
00:34:56,886 --> 00:34:57,929
OK.
542
00:35:03,726 --> 00:35:04,978
JT.
543
00:35:05,728 --> 00:35:07,897
Oh, Eva. Hey.
544
00:35:10,066 --> 00:35:11,401
Enfant.
545
00:35:14,279 --> 00:35:16,239
You are here at last.
546
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:19,993
Um, I'm here, pretty sure.
547
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:22,954
How's the snail story coming along?
548
00:35:23,579 --> 00:35:25,498
- Good.
- Excuse me one second.
549
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,376
Does the snail still have
a visage brute?
550
00:35:29,002 --> 00:35:32,630
- Um...
- Visage brute? Sorry, I'm Speedie.
551
00:35:33,256 --> 00:35:34,966
JT was just tellin' me about that.
552
00:35:35,091 --> 00:35:38,136
"Ugly face" or somethin'. I love it!
553
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:40,972
- Just give us a minute?
- Like a title...
554
00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:42,515
Oh, sure.
555
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,183
Are you staying here?
556
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:47,770
Um, hm-hmm. I'm just in that room there.
557
00:35:47,895 --> 00:35:51,316
OK, cool. I'm just kinda worried
about you staying at some hotel,
558
00:35:51,441 --> 00:35:53,151
running off and getting into trouble.
559
00:35:54,694 --> 00:35:57,196
I don't really get
in that kind of trouble anymore.
560
00:35:57,322 --> 00:35:58,323
Hm-hmm.
561
00:35:58,448 --> 00:36:00,742
You have trouble written all over you.
562
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:04,662
Oh, my God. You are so fucking cute.
563
00:36:04,787 --> 00:36:07,081
Why are you so shy?
Soak up the attention.
564
00:36:07,206 --> 00:36:10,585
- Everybody's here for you.
- Yeah, it's crazy.
565
00:36:11,294 --> 00:36:12,879
Eva!
566
00:36:16,424 --> 00:36:17,425
All right.
567
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:19,802
- Find me at the bar?
- OK.
568
00:36:19,927 --> 00:36:21,012
OK.
569
00:36:23,097 --> 00:36:26,434
Oh, hey, Eva, is... are you gonna be
at the reading tomorrow?
570
00:36:27,101 --> 00:36:30,229
Baby, what are you talking about?
I'm one of the readers.
571
00:36:30,813 --> 00:36:32,273
Oh, yeah.
572
00:36:32,648 --> 00:36:34,817
Well, I was... I was thinkin'...
573
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:37,820
Fuck.
574
00:36:48,081 --> 00:36:49,207
Perfect.
575
00:36:49,749 --> 00:36:51,501
Nice. Just shake it out.
576
00:36:52,001 --> 00:36:53,544
There we go.
577
00:36:53,669 --> 00:36:54,921
Look at that.
578
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:57,048
Up a little bit.
579
00:37:31,499 --> 00:37:32,500
JT!
580
00:37:33,376 --> 00:37:36,671
So sorry to bother you. I, um...
581
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:40,216
I just wanted to tell you
how much your work means to me.
582
00:37:40,675 --> 00:37:43,553
I was on the streets for a while too.
583
00:37:43,678 --> 00:37:47,682
When I read your book,
I was like, someone gets me.
584
00:37:49,225 --> 00:37:51,394
Your voice means a lot.
585
00:37:52,979 --> 00:37:54,105
Thank you.
586
00:37:56,649 --> 00:37:58,693
Do you see that? Huh?
587
00:37:59,986 --> 00:38:02,738
Your work, you're helping people.
It's beautiful.
588
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:14,500
Thank you.
589
00:38:17,587 --> 00:38:18,629
It looks nice.
590
00:38:19,755 --> 00:38:21,340
Come to Paris. OK?
591
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:24,719
JT?
592
00:38:25,595 --> 00:38:26,804
JT!
593
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:31,976
Au revoir.
594
00:38:45,531 --> 00:38:48,451
I feel alive
for the first time in my life.
595
00:38:51,496 --> 00:38:53,289
Sav, you're never gonna believe this.
596
00:38:53,956 --> 00:38:58,211
JT's French publishers are flying us
to Paris for a press conference.
597
00:38:58,336 --> 00:38:59,754
Holy fucking shit.
598
00:39:00,755 --> 00:39:03,633
Get the fuck out of here.
I can't believe this is happening.
599
00:39:04,175 --> 00:39:06,886
And Eva's throwing the after party.
600
00:39:07,887 --> 00:39:10,848
OK, I kinda gotta go. I'll talk to you.
I'll call you tomorrow.
601
00:39:10,973 --> 00:39:12,350
OK, bye.
602
00:39:18,773 --> 00:39:21,025
- You're making us headbands?
- Yeah.
603
00:39:21,150 --> 00:39:22,902
- Cute.
- Thanks.
604
00:39:29,283 --> 00:39:33,079
So I have to go to Paris
in, like, two weeks.
605
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:35,998
- Shit.
- Yeah.
606
00:39:36,123 --> 00:39:38,751
Wow. That's... What... What for?
607
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:41,379
Um, Laura has some work there,
608
00:39:41,504 --> 00:39:44,549
so I'm gonna go assist her.
She needs some help.
609
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:47,176
- That's so cool.
- Yeah.
610
00:39:47,301 --> 00:39:48,461
- Have you ever been?
- Uh-uh.
611
00:39:48,553 --> 00:39:49,679
- No?
- Uh-uh.
612
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:51,639
- Have you?
- I wish.
613
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:54,225
Well, where's my invite?
614
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:58,229
You wanna fit in my backpack?
615
00:39:58,354 --> 00:40:00,314
- You can come.
- Oh.
616
00:40:01,148 --> 00:40:03,234
I can fit in very small places.
617
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:10,866
I'll miss you.
618
00:40:13,536 --> 00:40:14,870
Yeah, I'll miss you too.
619
00:40:15,663 --> 00:40:16,789
Eva...
620
00:40:17,665 --> 00:40:20,001
You haven't taken it off? Really?
621
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:23,212
I love that. You know I can't stop.
622
00:40:23,337 --> 00:40:25,715
You got my bone around your neck.
623
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,800
But you started it.
624
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:31,137
I can't wait to see you again too.
625
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:33,973
OK. All right. Call me right back.
626
00:40:38,436 --> 00:40:41,314
They sent enough money
for first-class tickets.
627
00:40:42,481 --> 00:40:44,233
I mean, we'll go coach
and pocket the rest,
628
00:40:44,358 --> 00:40:48,529
but I tried to get another ticket
for Astor and they just won't budge,
629
00:40:48,654 --> 00:40:52,283
so I figured we'll just buy one if...
630
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:54,619
Yeah, why would I wanna go to Europe?
631
00:40:54,744 --> 00:40:57,079
We have a recording session next week.
632
00:40:57,204 --> 00:41:00,166
We have a recording session next week.
633
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:01,667
I know, babe.
634
00:41:01,792 --> 00:41:06,589
I figured we'd move it and it'd give you
a little more time to work on the music,
635
00:41:06,714 --> 00:41:11,052
refine things. I mean, we're gonna be
just jamming through that press.
636
00:41:11,177 --> 00:41:14,889
It'll be a nightmare and I know you hate
that whole world anyways, so...
637
00:41:15,014 --> 00:41:17,850
Yeah, I don't exactly wanna be
the caboose on the JT train,
638
00:41:17,975 --> 00:41:21,562
but, Laura, we're in a band, you know?
639
00:41:22,188 --> 00:41:24,774
Like, that's our pack.
It's a band, it's a bond.
640
00:41:24,899 --> 00:41:30,071
Hey. What do we always say?
By any means...
641
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:34,492
Necessary. Yeah, for the band.
You know, for the music.
642
00:41:34,617 --> 00:41:37,578
- It is for the music.
- How is this for the music?
643
00:41:37,703 --> 00:41:40,748
Babe! JT's gonna plug the shit
out of this band.
644
00:41:40,873 --> 00:41:42,500
Are you kidding?
645
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:44,960
It's massive worldwide press.
646
00:41:45,086 --> 00:41:49,382
And I'm, like, this close
to getting us a review in Spin.
647
00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:51,801
I mean,
648
00:41:51,926 --> 00:41:54,261
Madonna sent us Kabbalah books.
649
00:41:54,887 --> 00:41:58,057
Madonna is in our world!
650
00:41:58,474 --> 00:42:00,810
Yeah, that's great, Laura.
No, really great.
651
00:42:01,477 --> 00:42:03,562
What world are you in?
652
00:42:03,979 --> 00:42:05,272
Eva...
653
00:42:05,648 --> 00:42:06,941
Yeah.
654
00:42:07,858 --> 00:42:10,778
Yeah, I've gotta have creative control.
655
00:42:11,612 --> 00:42:13,030
It's my life.
656
00:42:14,824 --> 00:42:16,826
I'm the only one who knows the truth.
657
00:42:16,951 --> 00:42:20,413
Look, I get it. You wanna go to Europe,
you know? It's cool.
658
00:42:24,083 --> 00:42:25,418
Of course.
659
00:42:25,793 --> 00:42:28,462
I mean, the only thing is,
660
00:42:28,587 --> 00:42:30,868
you don't think what we're doing
is totally fucked, right?
661
00:42:34,301 --> 00:42:35,928
No, no. I mean...
662
00:42:36,846 --> 00:42:38,139
No, right?
663
00:42:39,765 --> 00:42:41,767
I mean I guess technically it's lying.
664
00:42:41,892 --> 00:42:45,187
Like, on paper,
we're... lying to people,
665
00:42:45,312 --> 00:42:47,440
but I feel like...
666
00:42:49,275 --> 00:42:51,235
It feels like I'm making something.
667
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:56,782
It feels like a performance,
and I'm so compelled to do it, I...
668
00:42:58,242 --> 00:43:00,703
I love that feeling,
I've wanted that feeling forever,
669
00:43:00,828 --> 00:43:03,548
and I never knew really what was gonna,
like, give me that, you know?
670
00:43:03,581 --> 00:43:06,021
You have it. You play guitar,
you've played since you were 12.
671
00:43:06,125 --> 00:43:08,502
I see your face when you do it, like...
672
00:43:08,627 --> 00:43:10,796
It's that feeling.
673
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:19,638
I guess I'm really good at pretending
to be a feral 19-year-old street kid.
674
00:43:19,764 --> 00:43:21,557
That's not weird, right?
675
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:24,185
No.
676
00:43:25,936 --> 00:43:27,021
Oh, man.
677
00:44:05,768 --> 00:44:06,769
Welcome.
678
00:44:08,229 --> 00:44:10,481
How was your flight? All right?
679
00:44:11,148 --> 00:44:12,775
JT's hungry.
680
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:15,611
Vraiment? You did not indulge
in the first-class fare?
681
00:44:15,736 --> 00:44:19,198
Bugger slept the whole flight.
Maybe some eggs.
682
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:21,510
We don't have much time.
683
00:44:21,617 --> 00:44:23,744
He loves eggs, so if we can grab...
684
00:44:24,411 --> 00:44:27,373
First time in Paris? Voil?.
685
00:44:28,499 --> 00:44:31,377
Fucking take my... Fuckin' French.
686
00:44:42,012 --> 00:44:45,266
Quite mature trees, aren't they?
687
00:44:47,059 --> 00:44:49,603
You never see that in America.
688
00:44:50,604 --> 00:44:51,939
It's gorgeous.
689
00:44:52,606 --> 00:44:56,318
Europe, I love it. You know?
It's fantastic.
690
00:44:57,027 --> 00:44:58,028
I'm gonna barf.
691
00:44:58,153 --> 00:45:01,782
I can't believe they wouldn't
stop for eggs. I can't live off snacks.
692
00:45:01,907 --> 00:45:04,910
You need to be my advocate
and speak up or we'll never eat.
693
00:45:05,035 --> 00:45:06,036
Sorry.
694
00:45:06,161 --> 00:45:09,498
You'll have to take the jacket off too.
We gotta see the whole band name.
695
00:45:09,623 --> 00:45:11,542
- You can see it.
- No, it's promotion.
696
00:45:11,667 --> 00:45:13,168
- It's good for Geoff.
- JT?
697
00:45:14,044 --> 00:45:15,421
Ah.
698
00:45:16,964 --> 00:45:18,465
Hello!
699
00:45:19,633 --> 00:45:20,885
Hi.
700
00:45:21,010 --> 00:45:22,553
- Hey, Speedie.
- Hey, Eva.
701
00:45:22,678 --> 00:45:26,223
- You look gorgeous as usual.
- How are you?
702
00:45:26,348 --> 00:45:28,642
- What's up? You nervous?
- Yeah, of course.
703
00:45:28,767 --> 00:45:32,354
Don't be. You look great.
I love your jacket. Hey!
704
00:45:32,479 --> 00:45:35,566
You're gonna be fuckin' great.
I'm so proud of you, baby.
705
00:45:36,734 --> 00:45:38,527
I have something for you.
706
00:45:45,534 --> 00:45:48,329
All right. Should we...? You know what?
707
00:45:48,454 --> 00:45:52,666
I think it's best I come with you
so that we can check the venue and...
708
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,173
So you gave me your talisman.
709
00:46:02,426 --> 00:46:03,928
I'm gonna give you mine.
710
00:46:06,889 --> 00:46:08,641
It belonged to my grandfather.
711
00:46:12,853 --> 00:46:16,106
Oh... Oh, it's incredible.
712
00:46:16,231 --> 00:46:19,693
- I shouldn't accept that. You know...
- Yes, you should.
713
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:36,418
We have to go.
714
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,471
JT LeRoy.
715
00:46:52,768 --> 00:46:54,561
JT!
716
00:47:09,576 --> 00:47:10,869
Hi.
717
00:47:15,249 --> 00:47:18,377
Oui?
718
00:47:25,342 --> 00:47:28,554
Your mother put you through
some awful situations.
719
00:47:28,679 --> 00:47:31,306
How does she feel
about your exposé of her behavior?
720
00:47:32,433 --> 00:47:33,475
Um...
721
00:47:35,227 --> 00:47:36,520
She's not...
722
00:47:37,813 --> 00:47:39,565
with us anymore,
723
00:47:40,524 --> 00:47:43,652
so I don't really know.
724
00:47:43,777 --> 00:47:45,320
We cannot hear you, JT!
725
00:47:46,321 --> 00:47:47,781
You can't hear me? Um...
726
00:47:47,906 --> 00:47:50,576
I...
727
00:47:52,119 --> 00:47:54,079
I was just sayin' that, um...
728
00:47:55,706 --> 00:48:00,711
my... my mom isn't here anymore, and...
729
00:48:01,628 --> 00:48:05,591
Also the books are fiction, so, yeah.
730
00:48:11,764 --> 00:48:13,307
JT?
731
00:48:15,225 --> 00:48:17,895
You wrote on your website
that writing is your lifesaver.
732
00:48:18,020 --> 00:48:21,065
It's painful but I need it.
733
00:48:21,190 --> 00:48:25,069
- What do your friends think?
- The truth in fiction...
734
00:48:25,194 --> 00:48:28,322
JT, why do you
tend to avoid public events?
735
00:48:28,447 --> 00:48:30,532
Protection, I think, and...
736
00:48:32,117 --> 00:48:36,121
Speak to your choice of wearing
a quote unquote "disguise."
737
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:39,583
Anonymity's kinda like
losing your virginity.
738
00:48:39,708 --> 00:48:42,252
They are based on your real experiences,
right, JT?
739
00:48:42,377 --> 00:48:47,299
Fiction's sort of a lie,
but can be more true than the truth.
740
00:48:48,759 --> 00:48:53,263
JT, you sound like a woman to me,
but you insist you are a man.
741
00:48:59,186 --> 00:49:00,437
Uh...
742
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:04,650
You know,
it's not really my responsibility
743
00:49:04,775 --> 00:49:12,032
to help lead you through your own
discomfort on how I make you feel.
744
00:49:14,243 --> 00:49:18,247
- I can be whomever I wanna be.
- Fuck, yeah!
745
00:49:20,457 --> 00:49:23,585
And as for sounding like a woman, um,
746
00:49:23,710 --> 00:49:25,879
well, I'd say thank you.
747
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:28,924
But, JT,
748
00:49:29,049 --> 00:49:31,552
are you really who you say you are?
749
00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:34,429
Are you really who you say you are?
750
00:49:37,432 --> 00:49:38,475
I...
751
00:49:39,268 --> 00:49:41,186
I can't really tell. Are you a man?
752
00:49:42,312 --> 00:49:45,399
Prove your masculinity right now.
Pull your cock out.
753
00:49:57,077 --> 00:49:59,663
All right, it's done.
754
00:49:59,788 --> 00:50:01,790
It's done.
755
00:50:02,916 --> 00:50:04,459
It's done.
756
00:50:09,882 --> 00:50:11,175
Merci.
757
00:50:12,551 --> 00:50:15,304
- You know what I mean? That's the key.
- Hold on a second.
758
00:50:15,429 --> 00:50:17,890
In America it's different.
759
00:50:19,266 --> 00:50:20,809
In America...
760
00:50:20,934 --> 00:50:22,769
You handled that so well, baby.
761
00:50:24,646 --> 00:50:26,190
Super cool...
762
00:50:33,655 --> 00:50:37,659
JT? This young man
would love for you to sign his book.
763
00:50:39,494 --> 00:50:40,537
Bonjour, JT.
764
00:50:40,996 --> 00:50:42,998
Eva... Eva.
765
00:50:45,834 --> 00:50:46,835
Eva.
766
00:50:49,421 --> 00:50:52,966
I need to take JT back to the hotel now.
We need a proper meal.
767
00:50:53,091 --> 00:50:55,260
- Nonsense.
- Nah, he's drinking too much.
768
00:50:55,385 --> 00:50:57,638
And I can't stand all this smoke.
769
00:50:58,555 --> 00:51:00,766
Speedie, come on.
770
00:51:00,891 --> 00:51:03,393
Stop interfering with his life
all the time.
771
00:51:05,229 --> 00:51:08,148
She's interfering with my life,
actually.
772
00:51:09,066 --> 00:51:10,525
Excuse me.
773
00:51:12,611 --> 00:51:13,862
JT.
774
00:51:13,987 --> 00:51:17,658
- Let's go back to the hotel.
- I'm not ready to go yet.
775
00:51:18,325 --> 00:51:22,162
Well, this place is
filled with toxicity. Let's go.
776
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:25,958
At play in the fields of the Lord,
remember?
777
00:51:27,918 --> 00:51:29,169
My words.
778
00:51:30,045 --> 00:51:31,713
See you later, Speedie.
779
00:51:49,815 --> 00:51:50,816
Ennio!
780
00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:54,111
This look is everything!
781
00:52:06,540 --> 00:52:09,334
Oh, man! It's our favorite song.
782
00:52:09,876 --> 00:52:11,295
Oh, right.
783
00:52:12,838 --> 00:52:13,964
Sorry.
784
00:52:18,093 --> 00:52:19,386
What's up, JT?
785
00:52:20,429 --> 00:52:21,930
Where are you?
786
00:52:23,890 --> 00:52:24,975
I'm...
787
00:52:27,686 --> 00:52:31,023
I'm totally right here. I'm just...
788
00:52:32,524 --> 00:52:34,443
I'm just tired, you know?
789
00:52:50,167 --> 00:52:51,293
Hi.
790
00:52:54,004 --> 00:52:55,130
Hi.
791
00:52:58,467 --> 00:53:01,094
You have a very different vibe
than on the phone.
792
00:53:04,056 --> 00:53:05,390
Yeah, I'm...
793
00:53:06,975 --> 00:53:08,393
so jetlagged.
794
00:53:14,691 --> 00:53:17,069
What's the deal
with you and Speedie? Huh?
795
00:53:18,779 --> 00:53:21,990
I mean, you barely give each other
room to breathe.
796
00:53:23,617 --> 00:53:25,243
She's so obnoxious.
797
00:53:27,704 --> 00:53:30,248
I know she's your friend.
I'm sorry, but...
798
00:53:31,875 --> 00:53:35,295
No, it seems weird from the outside.
799
00:53:35,420 --> 00:53:36,546
Um...
800
00:53:39,216 --> 00:53:41,468
But I wouldn't even exist without her.
801
00:53:44,054 --> 00:53:45,055
What?
802
00:53:52,187 --> 00:53:54,147
I don't really wanna go there, but...
803
00:53:56,483 --> 00:53:59,403
where are we
with the option for the film?
804
00:54:01,988 --> 00:54:03,365
Um...
805
00:54:04,699 --> 00:54:07,911
I just, you know,
I'd be so fuckin' honored to direct it,
806
00:54:08,036 --> 00:54:10,580
and play your mother.
807
00:54:13,250 --> 00:54:17,170
You know, she's such a character
obsessed with her own downfall.
808
00:54:17,295 --> 00:54:20,382
I've always just related
to that kind of woman, you know?
809
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,469
And I really think it's important
to show how...
810
00:54:24,594 --> 00:54:27,139
how you absorbed her pain, you know?
811
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:29,307
I wanna do it justice.
812
00:54:36,773 --> 00:54:39,818
I'd probably need, like,
full control of the script.
813
00:54:41,403 --> 00:54:43,780
You know, 'cause it's my life, but...
814
00:54:50,787 --> 00:54:51,830
Deal.
815
00:55:02,591 --> 00:55:04,092
You're so beautiful.
816
00:55:40,545 --> 00:55:42,214
Oh, shit!
817
00:55:48,803 --> 00:55:49,804
Oh, baby.
818
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:12,536
Oh.
819
00:56:13,411 --> 00:56:16,164
It's the famous JT!
820
00:56:17,541 --> 00:56:19,709
So, JT LeRoy, tell me.
821
00:56:21,044 --> 00:56:26,216
How do you have time to write
your amazing best-selling books, huh?
822
00:56:26,591 --> 00:56:29,970
Because it seems like
you just stay out all night partying.
823
00:56:30,095 --> 00:56:33,598
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I know.
824
00:56:34,891 --> 00:56:36,560
What were you doing?
825
00:56:38,103 --> 00:56:39,604
I thought it was earlier.
826
00:56:39,729 --> 00:56:43,775
You can't go out so long without me,
and you're drinking.
827
00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:47,487
Who knows what you said.
The whole thing could have fallen apart.
828
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,492
I secured full creative control
over the script, so... there's that.
829
00:56:53,952 --> 00:56:56,538
- What?
- Yeah.
830
00:57:00,834 --> 00:57:02,836
Well, I didn't ask you to do that.
831
00:57:04,588 --> 00:57:05,755
But, I...
832
00:57:07,007 --> 00:57:08,675
I mean that's good news.
833
00:57:11,678 --> 00:57:13,972
What did she say?
I mean, how did that go?
834
00:57:14,097 --> 00:57:16,537
I need to know everything.
I gotta get on the phone right away
835
00:57:16,641 --> 00:57:19,311
and make sure
she said what she meant and...
836
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:21,646
I'd love to know
what you talk about on the phone.
837
00:57:22,188 --> 00:57:24,065
If I knew
what you talked about on the phone,
838
00:57:24,190 --> 00:57:27,193
maybe I wouldn't sound like
a stammering idiot around her.
839
00:57:27,319 --> 00:57:30,447
I need more to talk about
than stuff I read in interviews.
840
00:57:30,572 --> 00:57:31,865
I want her to feel...
841
00:57:34,534 --> 00:57:35,994
like...
842
00:57:37,537 --> 00:57:39,205
Oh, my God.
843
00:57:40,874 --> 00:57:42,459
Did you fuck her?
844
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,086
I...
845
00:57:45,211 --> 00:57:49,382
It's a Chinese finger puzzle, right?
You go further in to get out?
846
00:57:50,258 --> 00:57:53,553
Fuck! Savy. Goddamn it!
847
00:57:53,678 --> 00:57:55,263
It's not as bad as you think, honestly.
848
00:57:55,388 --> 00:57:57,766
- It's not even like that.
- Are you fucking kidding me?
849
00:57:58,224 --> 00:58:02,604
Baby girl, she doesn't want you.
850
00:58:03,229 --> 00:58:07,734
OK? She wants the person
she talked to on the phone.
851
00:58:08,151 --> 00:58:10,153
She wants JT.
852
00:58:10,362 --> 00:58:13,239
In fact, she doesn't even want that.
853
00:58:13,365 --> 00:58:15,700
She wants the fucking rights
to the movie!
854
00:58:21,206 --> 00:58:23,208
Oh, I'm being mean.
855
00:58:25,377 --> 00:58:28,046
I just hate myself. I binged all night.
856
00:58:29,130 --> 00:58:31,132
I was worried.
857
00:58:31,966 --> 00:58:36,721
I need you here to keep me on track.
I just... Oh, God.
858
00:58:37,389 --> 00:58:38,515
Damn it!
859
00:58:40,308 --> 00:58:42,435
Don't you think this is ridiculous?
860
00:58:43,645 --> 00:58:45,480
You should write as you.
861
00:58:46,481 --> 00:58:49,484
Savy, come on.
862
00:58:49,609 --> 00:58:53,530
You're out of it.
Nobody listens to me as me.
863
00:58:54,447 --> 00:58:56,282
They listen to you as JT.
864
00:58:57,784 --> 00:59:01,121
But JT doesn't exist, you know?
He's not real.
865
00:59:01,246 --> 00:59:06,501
I mean, he's super real for some people,
you know? Like... personal.
866
00:59:08,002 --> 00:59:10,755
- I see it.
- Is it real for them?
867
00:59:15,009 --> 00:59:16,511
I got left.
868
00:59:18,471 --> 00:59:23,852
I got tricked...
and put in a mental home for grown-ups.
869
00:59:28,398 --> 00:59:29,607
Abused...
870
00:59:31,526 --> 00:59:35,447
Used up by men, my mom...
871
00:59:36,364 --> 00:59:39,117
I was that kid.
872
00:59:39,242 --> 00:59:41,077
And it is real.
873
00:59:42,495 --> 00:59:44,080
I didn't say it wasn't.
874
00:59:45,415 --> 00:59:47,500
That's not what I'm saying.
875
00:59:47,625 --> 00:59:49,210
You're so mean.
876
00:59:49,335 --> 00:59:53,173
You are so manipulative.
You don't have to do that with me.
877
00:59:53,298 --> 00:59:55,508
I'm the last person
you have to do that with.
878
00:59:55,633 --> 01:00:00,388
We're in Paris because of me,
879
01:00:02,182 --> 01:00:03,850
because of my writing,
880
01:00:05,018 --> 01:00:06,936
because of my genius.
881
01:00:08,605 --> 01:00:11,316
I'm glad you know how
to put an outfit together,
882
01:00:12,901 --> 01:00:16,237
but all you do is show up.
883
01:00:16,362 --> 01:00:19,032
I don't inhabit him,
he doesn't inhabit me,
884
01:00:19,157 --> 01:00:20,837
he doesn't leap out of your body
into mine?
885
01:00:20,867 --> 01:00:23,828
We're not making something together.
All this bullshit that you say to me
886
01:00:23,953 --> 01:00:25,705
to get me to do this crazy shit?
887
01:00:26,706 --> 01:00:29,542
No, no, if all I do is show up,
honestly,
888
01:00:29,667 --> 01:00:32,587
why don't I fucking go ahead
and stop showing up?
889
01:00:41,095 --> 01:00:43,181
Stop being a drama queen.
890
01:00:49,395 --> 01:00:53,942
I feel lost in
a limitless hall of desire and longing.
891
01:00:54,943 --> 01:00:56,736
What was I thinkin'?
892
01:01:12,043 --> 01:01:15,380
Hey. I have to tell you something.
893
01:01:23,847 --> 01:01:25,598
- What?
- Yeah.
894
01:01:28,101 --> 01:01:30,436
- Sav...
- Yeah.
895
01:01:31,312 --> 01:01:32,981
I've seen pictures of JT.
896
01:01:33,106 --> 01:01:35,400
- I bet.
- Yeah, and I read Sarah.
897
01:01:35,525 --> 01:01:37,235
- I know.
- And never connected the dots.
898
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,570
I noticed that.
899
01:01:39,821 --> 01:01:41,364
Wow. Um...
900
01:01:41,489 --> 01:01:43,491
OK, so wait.
901
01:01:43,616 --> 01:01:45,451
When you...
when you talk to people in person,
902
01:01:45,577 --> 01:01:47,912
they don't notice that
it's not Laura's voice?
903
01:01:50,331 --> 01:01:52,959
And they all think that you're a boy?
904
01:01:54,210 --> 01:01:57,130
It's like The Emperor's New Clothes
kinda deal, you know?
905
01:01:57,255 --> 01:02:00,258
Every time someone questions it,
Laura just throws it right back on them
906
01:02:00,383 --> 01:02:02,719
and is like, "What do you mean,
the emperor has no clothes?
907
01:02:02,844 --> 01:02:04,679
That's his very best outfit."
908
01:02:05,597 --> 01:02:06,890
I mean...
909
01:02:07,807 --> 01:02:11,644
I wanted to tell you, I just think
I really valued the secret of it
910
01:02:11,769 --> 01:02:14,772
and... wanted to protect her.
911
01:02:14,898 --> 01:02:19,485
I would just fucking die
if I, like, ruined that for her, and...
912
01:02:22,030 --> 01:02:23,448
Yeah.
913
01:02:23,740 --> 01:02:26,993
This is literally the craziest thing
I've ever heard.
914
01:02:27,118 --> 01:02:30,914
I'm really not sure if I should,
like, ask more questions or...
915
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:32,874
- I don't know, run away.
- Run out of here.
916
01:02:32,999 --> 01:02:34,250
Yeah.
917
01:02:35,168 --> 01:02:36,961
Am I... terrible?
918
01:02:40,423 --> 01:02:41,925
- I mean...
- Also it's over.
919
01:02:42,050 --> 01:02:43,676
I'm not gonna do it anymore,
920
01:02:43,801 --> 01:02:46,638
which is why it was, like, a lot easier
to tell you this, to be honest.
921
01:02:47,722 --> 01:02:49,933
- You're not gonna do it anymore?
- No.
922
01:02:52,352 --> 01:02:54,812
??If I could be
923
01:02:54,938 --> 01:02:56,856
??What you wanted
924
01:02:57,941 --> 01:02:59,734
??If you wanted...
925
01:03:02,570 --> 01:03:04,238
Come and be my one?
926
01:03:04,364 --> 01:03:08,326
??If I could be what you wanted...
927
01:03:08,451 --> 01:03:11,091
No, it's not that
I don't want to. I've just been...
928
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,958
I feel like if I leave the house,
I'm gonna fall into old habits.
929
01:03:16,834 --> 01:03:18,670
No, I know.
930
01:03:19,671 --> 01:03:23,925
Dennis, I know you know,
but I feel stuck...
931
01:03:24,050 --> 01:03:26,469
No, I really wanna go, Jason.
932
01:03:27,303 --> 01:03:30,139
I do. I just...
933
01:03:30,515 --> 01:03:35,728
For my health,
I need to focus on me right now.
934
01:03:35,853 --> 01:03:39,732
I know it's probably not something
I should relive, but...
935
01:03:40,274 --> 01:03:44,570
I mean... But they're making a movie
on my life.
936
01:03:46,239 --> 01:03:49,450
Well, they keep asking for me
to come down to the set and...
937
01:03:50,702 --> 01:03:51,703
Yeah.
938
01:03:53,371 --> 01:03:55,873
No, but how do I say no to that?
939
01:03:57,041 --> 01:04:02,046
Yeah, Eva and I have been having
phone sex lately and...
940
01:04:04,632 --> 01:04:07,719
I know it's not healthy, but...
941
01:04:08,803 --> 01:04:11,139
the heart wants
what the heart wants, right?
942
01:04:28,740 --> 01:04:30,700
Hey.
943
01:04:30,825 --> 01:04:31,951
Hey.
944
01:04:34,620 --> 01:04:36,539
- How you doin'?
- Is that Sav?
945
01:04:36,664 --> 01:04:38,458
I'm OK. Yeah, it's Sav.
946
01:04:39,167 --> 01:04:42,628
Oh, my God.
Get her in here, it's like Christmas.
947
01:04:42,754 --> 01:04:45,506
Look at all this stuff
that JT gets for free.
948
01:04:45,631 --> 01:04:48,176
Thank God you're here, you guys.
Start taking stuff.
949
01:04:48,301 --> 01:04:50,678
Here, Astor bow ties.
950
01:04:50,803 --> 01:04:53,514
- Look at those!
- What? No.
951
01:04:53,639 --> 01:04:56,726
Did you tell her about Astor
doing the music for the movie?
952
01:04:59,187 --> 01:05:02,774
Yeah, well, Laura's been speaking to Eva
about maybe, right,
953
01:05:02,899 --> 01:05:06,319
you know, doing the score
for the whole movie, so...
954
01:05:06,444 --> 01:05:09,197
Definitely. I'm talking to her.
We're gonna push this through.
955
01:05:10,948 --> 01:05:12,325
How's she doin'?
956
01:05:12,450 --> 01:05:15,244
She's good. She's really good.
957
01:05:15,369 --> 01:05:18,873
I mean, she's I think overwhelmed.
958
01:05:18,998 --> 01:05:20,875
You know, it's a lot, making a movie.
959
01:05:21,751 --> 01:05:26,005
She said she wants JT to design
an outfit for her to wear in the movie.
960
01:05:26,130 --> 01:05:29,467
Oh, my God, this is beautiful.
961
01:05:29,592 --> 01:05:30,843
You gotta try this.
962
01:05:33,054 --> 01:05:37,558
Look at that on. Oh, please.
Anzevino's been sending all this stuff.
963
01:05:37,683 --> 01:05:40,144
- Like this and all this fabric.
- It's really nice.
964
01:05:40,269 --> 01:05:42,396
He wants to support
JT the designer.
965
01:05:42,522 --> 01:05:44,232
Do you think I could talk to her?
966
01:05:45,024 --> 01:05:46,692
Uh...
967
01:05:47,777 --> 01:05:49,987
I just got an email. You wanna see it?
968
01:05:50,530 --> 01:05:51,989
I just got one from her.
969
01:05:55,785 --> 01:05:56,911
I just, I think
970
01:05:57,036 --> 01:05:58,788
talking to her would be hard
971
01:05:58,913 --> 01:06:03,334
'cause we're talking so much
and it might get a little mucky, but...
972
01:06:03,918 --> 01:06:05,044
Subject line.
973
01:06:05,169 --> 01:06:07,255
"Please, please, please
come to Tennessee.
974
01:06:09,632 --> 01:06:12,635
Baby boy, I miss your soft lips.
975
01:06:13,469 --> 01:06:15,555
I dream of your skin."
976
01:06:16,180 --> 01:06:17,557
I love this.
977
01:06:17,682 --> 01:06:21,185
"I wanna pull on your hair
like a horse's mane."
978
01:06:21,936 --> 01:06:25,106
She is so into your pheromones.
I love that.
979
01:06:25,231 --> 01:06:27,733
I mean you're talking to her as me,
you know? Like...
980
01:06:30,403 --> 01:06:31,487
Yeah.
981
01:06:32,572 --> 01:06:33,865
I mean...
982
01:06:34,991 --> 01:06:36,993
I'm talking to her as JT.
983
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,210
We had, like, a thing.
Like, a real thing.
984
01:06:46,335 --> 01:06:48,379
It wasn't bullshit, it wasn't...
985
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:50,840
I... I know that.
986
01:06:51,549 --> 01:06:52,925
Sav...
987
01:06:54,218 --> 01:06:56,804
you're as much a part of JT as me.
988
01:06:59,056 --> 01:07:00,975
That's the truth.
989
01:07:01,601 --> 01:07:06,689
Not some adolescent talking to you
in Paris saying dumb shit
990
01:07:08,107 --> 01:07:12,111
because she was jealous
and felt left out and lonely.
991
01:07:12,653 --> 01:07:16,616
I'm so sorry. It's embarrassing.
992
01:07:18,701 --> 01:07:24,123
And the Eva thing
actually turned out to be great.
993
01:07:24,957 --> 01:07:27,418
Why shouldn't you wanna be intimate
with her? My God.
994
01:07:27,543 --> 01:07:29,754
You guys have this connection, so...
995
01:07:31,422 --> 01:07:32,798
This is crazy.
996
01:07:34,884 --> 01:07:36,510
And this whole Tennessee thing.
997
01:07:36,636 --> 01:07:41,766
I don't know what to do. I mean,
it would be... great for Astor to go
998
01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:43,559
because of the music, and I...
999
01:07:44,727 --> 01:07:49,899
You know, she really wants us to be
on set and see the experience, but...
1000
01:07:50,775 --> 01:07:54,528
I don't know if you wanna be JT again.
1001
01:07:55,238 --> 01:07:57,865
That's... That's for you to decide.
1002
01:08:21,639 --> 01:08:22,890
It's the wardrobe.
1003
01:08:30,773 --> 01:08:32,191
Makeup.
1004
01:09:17,111 --> 01:09:18,863
Well, well, well!
1005
01:09:18,988 --> 01:09:21,115
Hi, there, baby boy!
1006
01:09:23,993 --> 01:09:26,912
Ain't this a pretty little thing
that JT made for me?
1007
01:09:28,164 --> 01:09:32,043
- Everything looks real good.
- Oh, thank you, honeypie.
1008
01:09:35,546 --> 01:09:37,465
Hey, there, Momma.
1009
01:09:40,634 --> 01:09:42,094
Hey, Speedie.
1010
01:09:42,511 --> 01:09:45,056
Oi. There's your music man.
1011
01:09:45,931 --> 01:09:48,684
- Hey.
- Oh, hey. Astor.
1012
01:09:48,809 --> 01:09:52,563
Oh, my God, I'm so glad you're here.
It's been a fucking nightmare.
1013
01:09:52,688 --> 01:09:54,607
It's just been me
and these fucking idiots.
1014
01:09:54,732 --> 01:09:56,525
Honestly, I have to fight
for everything.
1015
01:10:00,237 --> 01:10:03,366
You know what, Speedie? I kind of
understand what you're going through
1016
01:10:03,491 --> 01:10:05,117
with this little rascal over here.
1017
01:10:05,242 --> 01:10:09,955
You know, keeping him clothed and fed
and out of mischief.
1018
01:10:10,081 --> 01:10:12,666
I mean, it's exactly what I'm going
through on this fucking set.
1019
01:10:12,792 --> 01:10:15,378
You have no idea. All these men.
It's like herding cats.
1020
01:10:15,961 --> 01:10:19,965
They all need attention, they all need
to express their opinions to me.
1021
01:10:20,091 --> 01:10:22,385
Honestly, would they treat a male
director like this?
1022
01:10:22,510 --> 01:10:23,844
I don't think so.
1023
01:10:25,137 --> 01:10:27,306
You know, I'm JT's mother,
I'm the movie's mother,
1024
01:10:27,431 --> 01:10:29,725
I'm the fucking world's mother.
It's exhausting.
1025
01:10:32,061 --> 01:10:33,729
But you're doing OK though, right?
1026
01:10:36,107 --> 01:10:38,818
Baby, I'm so happy you're here.
1027
01:10:38,943 --> 01:10:41,862
You know, you ground me.
Calm me down.
1028
01:10:45,241 --> 01:10:46,992
I gotta finish this scene.
1029
01:10:47,118 --> 01:10:50,663
Gotta be perfect, right?
Gotta be better than the guys.
1030
01:10:51,247 --> 01:10:53,082
- Eva, we need you on set!
- John!
1031
01:10:53,207 --> 01:10:57,753
I told you this is not the right place.
Where are we gonna put this? What?
1032
01:10:58,796 --> 01:11:00,464
She looks fuckin' wrecked.
1033
01:11:02,216 --> 01:11:03,634
Fuck.
1034
01:11:09,974 --> 01:11:12,268
I can't describe what I'm feeling.
1035
01:11:12,601 --> 01:11:17,565
It's like this... déj? vu feeling.
1036
01:11:20,943 --> 01:11:22,987
But I feel like I'm home.
1037
01:11:32,955 --> 01:11:34,540
JT...
1038
01:11:40,171 --> 01:11:42,673
And Eva, that was so spooky.
1039
01:11:46,427 --> 01:11:48,053
Looking at Sarah...
1040
01:11:49,513 --> 01:11:52,641
You know, like, all these things
she's picking up on.
1041
01:11:53,309 --> 01:11:56,395
I've never, ever told anybody about it.
1042
01:11:57,188 --> 01:12:01,942
All about Sarah, my best friend
in the group home.
1043
01:12:02,985 --> 01:12:05,446
It's like looking right at her.
1044
01:12:08,991 --> 01:12:10,576
Art is...
1045
01:12:12,661 --> 01:12:15,122
eerie shit, man.
1046
01:12:25,382 --> 01:12:26,967
This is so crazy.
1047
01:12:31,889 --> 01:12:33,516
I have to tell Eva the truth.
1048
01:12:35,643 --> 01:12:37,019
Are you sure?
1049
01:12:39,396 --> 01:12:40,731
- Baby.
- Hey.
1050
01:12:41,190 --> 01:12:43,317
Hey, I'm so glad you came.
1051
01:12:44,902 --> 01:12:46,779
Can you believe it's all happening?
1052
01:12:46,904 --> 01:12:48,489
- It's crazy.
- Right?
1053
01:12:50,366 --> 01:12:52,826
Are you doing OK?
A little bit better from earlier?
1054
01:12:52,952 --> 01:12:56,497
Yeah. I'm sorry about that.
I just, I had the worst fucking day.
1055
01:12:56,622 --> 01:12:58,457
- But it's all gonna be fucking amazing.
- JT.
1056
01:12:58,582 --> 01:13:01,022
It's gonna be great.
Sit down, I'm gonna get you a drink.
1057
01:13:01,126 --> 01:13:03,337
Nice to fucking meet you in person.
1058
01:13:04,296 --> 01:13:05,965
- Hey.
- Hey.
1059
01:13:06,966 --> 01:13:09,927
I am so excited
to be in your fucking movie.
1060
01:13:11,095 --> 01:13:13,264
He knows that already, silly.
1061
01:13:13,389 --> 01:13:16,600
I've never acted in anything,
and it's so cool.
1062
01:13:17,601 --> 01:13:18,936
You're doing a really good job.
1063
01:13:20,729 --> 01:13:22,690
So, is it, like, weird for you?
1064
01:13:24,108 --> 01:13:25,317
What?
1065
01:13:25,442 --> 01:13:28,737
Like seeing your whole life
recreated and shit?
1066
01:13:30,906 --> 01:13:34,201
Uh... Yeah, it's weird.
1067
01:13:39,164 --> 01:13:41,667
I've been working on that song
we were talkin' about.
1068
01:13:42,251 --> 01:13:44,336
Hmm, play it.
1069
01:13:50,050 --> 01:13:52,386
??I told you to tell me
1070
01:13:52,761 --> 01:13:55,055
??To sign on the dotted line
1071
01:13:55,514 --> 01:13:59,727
??Any time I gotta sell my soul
1072
01:14:00,519 --> 01:14:01,895
??For the...
1073
01:14:04,398 --> 01:14:06,859
Did we settle on first or second?
I can't remember.
1074
01:14:13,115 --> 01:14:14,742
- First.
- Yeah.
1075
01:14:15,075 --> 01:14:18,203
You gotta get that recorded, baby,
so it's ready for the soundtrack.
1076
01:14:18,329 --> 01:14:19,872
I... I'm gonna.
1077
01:14:21,081 --> 01:14:26,587
It's really cool that Astor's got
some stuff for the soundtrack too.
1078
01:14:26,712 --> 01:14:30,841
Oh, my God, JT.
I really can't talk about this again.
1079
01:14:38,932 --> 01:14:40,351
I'm sorry, babe.
1080
01:14:43,103 --> 01:14:44,855
I am thinkin' about it.
1081
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:46,815
OK.
1082
01:14:48,025 --> 01:14:51,570
Remember, babe, that scene tomorrow
that I was talking about earlier?
1083
01:14:51,695 --> 01:14:53,781
When you see Jeremiah
in the basement?
1084
01:14:54,782 --> 01:14:57,785
I was gonna shoot it with the dolly
when I told you about it earlier,
1085
01:14:57,910 --> 01:15:01,163
but I feel like... I feel like I need
to shoot it handheld, behind you.
1086
01:15:01,288 --> 01:15:02,414
You mind if I take a shower?
1087
01:15:02,539 --> 01:15:04,619
- I've been running around all day.
- Yeah, go, babe.
1088
01:15:04,708 --> 01:15:06,308
- I feel really dirty.
- It's over there.
1089
01:15:06,335 --> 01:15:07,544
I think it'd be much cooler...
1090
01:15:42,705 --> 01:15:44,123
Hey.
1091
01:15:45,332 --> 01:15:47,626
- You're not helping.
- I'm helping you!
1092
01:15:47,751 --> 01:15:52,256
Stop! Stop it! I'm tired, let's go.
Oh, my God.
1093
01:15:53,465 --> 01:15:54,466
All right.
1094
01:15:54,591 --> 01:15:57,594
Hey.
It's so late, babe. Just crash here.
1095
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:01,807
This is actually super comfy.
Manson stayed on it last week.
1096
01:16:01,932 --> 01:16:03,058
We're gonna go to bed.
1097
01:16:03,183 --> 01:16:05,269
- I'm so fucking tired.
- Night, JT.
1098
01:16:06,061 --> 01:16:07,396
- Goodnight.
- Night.
1099
01:16:07,521 --> 01:16:08,522
Hey.
1100
01:16:56,653 --> 01:16:59,406
She's not really quitting, right?
1101
01:16:59,531 --> 01:17:00,908
I mean,
1102
01:17:01,992 --> 01:17:04,203
she'll come around, huh?
1103
01:17:05,162 --> 01:17:08,123
- We're a team.
- No, baby. No.
1104
01:17:08,248 --> 01:17:14,004
Look, I'm sorry, I gotta set a boundary
here, OK? Either you stop or I'm out.
1105
01:17:14,129 --> 01:17:15,422
Hey.
1106
01:17:16,381 --> 01:17:18,509
You know what that means for me.
1107
01:17:30,437 --> 01:17:32,022
OK, it's done.
1108
01:17:34,358 --> 01:17:35,484
OK.
1109
01:17:36,235 --> 01:17:37,569
OK.
1110
01:18:51,768 --> 01:18:53,520
- Hm-hmm?
- Hm-hmm.
1111
01:18:53,645 --> 01:18:55,188
All right, I gotta jet.
1112
01:18:55,981 --> 01:18:57,608
I'll be back soon, OK?
1113
01:19:04,197 --> 01:19:06,325
Don't worry,
I'll get back to writin'.
1114
01:19:07,326 --> 01:19:09,620
No. Trust me, you.
1115
01:19:09,745 --> 01:19:11,997
I can't really answer that, Dot.
1116
01:19:12,497 --> 01:19:17,794
They say I don't exist, so I'm not even
talkin' to you right now, right?
1117
01:19:18,503 --> 01:19:20,088
When shit gets this bleak,
1118
01:19:21,298 --> 01:19:24,885
you have no idea where I could go,
what I could do to myself.
1119
01:19:27,012 --> 01:19:28,597
You have no idea.
1120
01:19:33,518 --> 01:19:34,853
JT?
1121
01:19:35,896 --> 01:19:36,980
I...
1122
01:19:38,357 --> 01:19:42,611
I think you've got the wrong person.
But I'll send your server over.
1123
01:19:43,445 --> 01:19:45,113
OK.
1124
01:19:46,114 --> 01:19:48,700
Jason, no. I don't...
1125
01:19:50,744 --> 01:19:51,912
What?
1126
01:19:52,788 --> 01:19:55,749
Really? That's crazy.
1127
01:19:57,501 --> 01:20:00,963
No, I ain't workin' at no restaurant.
1128
01:20:01,088 --> 01:20:03,048
Life's the same old thing.
1129
01:20:03,173 --> 01:20:07,052
People just tryin' to cut me down,
say I don't exist,
1130
01:20:07,177 --> 01:20:11,974
and I'm out there,
say I'm workin' in a restaurant
1131
01:20:12,099 --> 01:20:13,892
when I'm here talkin' to you.
1132
01:20:18,772 --> 01:20:22,901
Eva, why would you for one second
listen to some dumb rumor?
1133
01:20:23,026 --> 01:20:25,487
Rumors have been circling me for years.
1134
01:20:25,612 --> 01:20:30,158
I mean, come on, you know
my spirit, my soul, my art.
1135
01:20:30,283 --> 01:20:33,704
We're creative partners.
You gotta trust me on this.
1136
01:20:33,829 --> 01:20:35,038
How can I prove...?
1137
01:20:35,956 --> 01:20:37,958
The premiere?
1138
01:20:38,083 --> 01:20:42,587
Of course I wanna come,
but you know how hard travel is on me.
1139
01:20:43,755 --> 01:20:45,465
Yeah, OK.
1140
01:20:45,590 --> 01:20:49,177
I get it. I get... I'll go.
1141
01:20:50,012 --> 01:20:51,763
I'll be there.
1142
01:21:10,657 --> 01:21:12,325
Everything OK?
1143
01:21:12,451 --> 01:21:13,577
Yeah.
1144
01:21:19,958 --> 01:21:21,209
Was that Laura?
1145
01:21:25,756 --> 01:21:26,965
I can tell.
1146
01:21:29,426 --> 01:21:34,514
Eva's movie or JT's movie or whatever
got into the Cannes Film Festival.
1147
01:21:37,851 --> 01:21:39,936
And they want JT to go.
1148
01:21:41,855 --> 01:21:46,234
They're pretty desperate for him
to be there, like, to promote the movie.
1149
01:21:47,861 --> 01:21:50,489
And they'd pay me, like,
a thousand dollars a day.
1150
01:21:51,656 --> 01:21:54,242
People are skeptical too, you know?
Especially Eva.
1151
01:21:54,367 --> 01:21:57,537
If JT doesn't go, the whole thing
will be over for Laura, you know?
1152
01:21:58,455 --> 01:22:01,041
I know, but so what?
1153
01:22:02,667 --> 01:22:06,088
Every time you come back from being JT,
you're a mess.
1154
01:22:06,213 --> 01:22:08,673
I could use the money.
It's a lot of money.
1155
01:22:08,799 --> 01:22:10,884
And use a few more people
while you're at it?
1156
01:22:12,803 --> 01:22:18,225
That's a... really reductive,
simplified version of it.
1157
01:22:19,017 --> 01:22:20,811
We've talked about that.
1158
01:22:22,104 --> 01:22:25,607
OK. Let's get real for a second.
1159
01:22:29,152 --> 01:22:32,322
People respond to JT
because of who they think he is.
1160
01:22:33,365 --> 01:22:35,117
But what you guys are doing
is just, like...
1161
01:22:35,242 --> 01:22:39,121
People get just as much
as they... put into it.
1162
01:22:39,246 --> 01:22:42,958
It's like they use us, we use them.
Everyone uses each other.
1163
01:22:43,083 --> 01:22:45,293
- That's like how it is.
- Oh, my God.
1164
01:22:47,045 --> 01:22:48,964
You've already decided, haven't you?
1165
01:22:50,006 --> 01:22:51,550
It's one more time.
1166
01:22:52,342 --> 01:22:56,930
I mean, do you hear yourself right now?
Just one more time again? Like...
1167
01:22:57,055 --> 01:22:58,682
You sound like an addict.
1168
01:22:58,807 --> 01:23:03,145
Honestly, I'm... missing something.
1169
01:23:03,270 --> 01:23:05,397
Like I... I miss it.
1170
01:23:06,106 --> 01:23:08,233
Please. We both know this is about Eva.
1171
01:23:11,653 --> 01:23:13,113
You miss her.
1172
01:23:15,198 --> 01:23:17,117
Do you wanna see her?
1173
01:23:17,868 --> 01:23:19,661
But that's not happenin', Sav.
1174
01:23:20,495 --> 01:23:22,164
I mean, it's crazy.
1175
01:23:22,289 --> 01:23:25,250
She's into who she thinks JT is,
not you.
1176
01:23:29,713 --> 01:23:31,590
I fucked her in Paris.
1177
01:23:34,217 --> 01:23:37,053
- What?
- I should've told you. I...
1178
01:23:37,387 --> 01:23:38,889
I'm sorry.
1179
01:23:45,896 --> 01:23:47,939
I always knew you had a crush.
1180
01:23:49,482 --> 01:23:51,401
I mean, it was fuckin' obvious.
1181
01:23:53,111 --> 01:23:56,740
But of course I...
I didn't think it really meant anything.
1182
01:23:57,866 --> 01:23:59,743
I mean, you know me.
1183
01:23:59,868 --> 01:24:03,079
Had you told me earlier, I wouldn't
have freaked out, but to lie about it?
1184
01:24:06,541 --> 01:24:09,628
Just think about what you want and what
you're doing, and then we can talk.
1185
01:27:20,318 --> 01:27:23,113
- Oi!
- Hey, Eva. Hey.
1186
01:27:23,238 --> 01:27:25,865
They want the two of you
to introduce the film.
1187
01:27:25,990 --> 01:27:27,867
- No. No.
- Eva! Eva!
1188
01:27:28,868 --> 01:27:30,412
- No.
- What?
1189
01:27:31,121 --> 01:27:32,789
- Babyhead!
- Oh, my God.
1190
01:27:32,914 --> 01:27:36,042
What's...? Come here. What's wrong?
1191
01:27:38,086 --> 01:27:39,796
I don't know what I was thinking.
1192
01:27:40,672 --> 01:27:43,174
I really thought something
could have worked out between us.
1193
01:27:43,299 --> 01:27:45,135
I feel like a complete idiot.
1194
01:27:46,928 --> 01:27:50,181
Don't blame yourself. OK?
1195
01:27:50,306 --> 01:27:53,643
Oh, my God. What? For going there?
1196
01:27:53,768 --> 01:27:56,646
If we never let ourselves go there,
we'll never grow.
1197
01:27:57,730 --> 01:28:00,066
So you're stuck, right?
1198
01:28:00,191 --> 01:28:04,362
Some emotional vortex with her.
There's no way around that,
1199
01:28:04,487 --> 01:28:07,824
so you need to talk to her
about what happened in Tennessee.
1200
01:28:09,325 --> 01:28:12,078
You're at an impasse,
my beautiful friend.
1201
01:28:13,705 --> 01:28:16,499
- OK?
- Hmm.
1202
01:28:16,958 --> 01:28:19,627
It's like one of those sores
that scabs over
1203
01:28:19,752 --> 01:28:22,130
and all kinds of dirt are underneath.
1204
01:28:22,672 --> 01:28:25,425
You just gotta go back in
and take that dirt out.
1205
01:28:25,550 --> 01:28:26,593
Yeah.
1206
01:28:26,718 --> 01:28:29,596
Talk to her
and clean up this mess, right?
1207
01:28:29,721 --> 01:28:31,806
Yeah.
1208
01:28:31,931 --> 01:28:35,143
Hey. I love you.
1209
01:28:37,103 --> 01:28:38,855
Come on.
1210
01:28:43,443 --> 01:28:47,113
You took a film about truck-stop
hookers to the Cannes Film Festival.
1211
01:28:47,572 --> 01:28:49,866
People know you're only involved
if it's edgy,
1212
01:28:49,991 --> 01:28:51,826
if it's relevant, if it's real.
1213
01:28:51,951 --> 01:28:55,997
More importantly, JT is interested
in taking the problems
1214
01:28:56,122 --> 01:29:00,793
of the soul, the spirit,
and transforming them into craft.
1215
01:29:00,919 --> 01:29:04,464
Oh, my God!
He does it with his own designs.
1216
01:29:04,589 --> 01:29:05,715
You design?
1217
01:29:18,686 --> 01:29:21,564
I just wanted to say something...
1218
01:29:29,197 --> 01:29:33,910
Just that in... Tennessee,
I was feeling,
1219
01:29:35,078 --> 01:29:37,872
like, really hurt 'cause,
1220
01:29:37,997 --> 01:29:42,043
you know, that you were with... Ben.
1221
01:29:42,418 --> 01:29:45,588
Not that you shouldn't have been.
It's just...
1222
01:29:47,298 --> 01:29:49,425
I shouldn't have been there and...
1223
01:29:50,760 --> 01:29:53,137
it was awkward and shitty.
1224
01:29:54,347 --> 01:29:55,598
Really?
1225
01:29:56,182 --> 01:29:58,726
That's what you wanna talk about, JT?
1226
01:30:02,105 --> 01:30:03,982
What did you expect?
1227
01:30:04,107 --> 01:30:07,485
Like one drunk fuck and I was gonna
run off into the sunset with you,
1228
01:30:07,610 --> 01:30:11,114
and be in some
sweet little lesbian relationship?
1229
01:30:13,199 --> 01:30:15,118
I mean you wrote all those...
1230
01:30:18,162 --> 01:30:19,372
emails.
1231
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:25,962
I guess you just wanted the film rights.
1232
01:30:30,341 --> 01:30:32,093
I've put my whole life
in this movie.
1233
01:30:34,971 --> 01:30:38,933
I made a movie
that is based on a true story, right?
1234
01:30:39,058 --> 01:30:40,852
I made this film for you.
1235
01:30:42,729 --> 01:30:44,689
I mean, you kinda made it
for yourself too though.
1236
01:30:44,814 --> 01:30:47,525
You know what? Don't tell me
who I made this movie for, all right?
1237
01:30:47,650 --> 01:30:50,695
And don't pretend like you don't know
what I'm trying to talk about.
1238
01:30:52,155 --> 01:30:55,450
Do you know how many times
I had to defend you?
1239
01:30:55,575 --> 01:30:59,412
Like, tell people,
"No, JT is actually real"?
1240
01:31:01,456 --> 01:31:04,626
If this whole thing
turns out to be bullshit...
1241
01:31:11,007 --> 01:31:14,552
I'm gonna be devastated, JT, OK?
1242
01:31:16,512 --> 01:31:18,222
You gotta tell me.
1243
01:31:19,098 --> 01:31:22,518
Please tell me that your story is real.
1244
01:31:23,603 --> 01:31:25,521
Tell me that you wrote these books
1245
01:31:27,607 --> 01:31:29,859
and that you are who you say you are.
1246
01:31:41,245 --> 01:31:42,747
Eva...
1247
01:31:50,672 --> 01:31:53,091
I mean, JT's whoever you want him to be.
1248
01:31:59,764 --> 01:32:01,474
Oh, my God.
1249
01:32:35,550 --> 01:32:38,219
I feel like... we're salmon
1250
01:32:38,344 --> 01:32:40,513
returning to our ocean home.
1251
01:32:40,638 --> 01:32:43,224
And we're finally leavin' the chrysalis
1252
01:32:43,349 --> 01:32:47,520
to become the monarch butterflies
of our own selves.
1253
01:32:48,271 --> 01:32:51,065
I feel like I've arrived.
1254
01:32:51,190 --> 01:32:55,278
Like I've finally found my true self.
1255
01:33:01,033 --> 01:33:03,703
Laura, this is John Bradwell
from "The Guardian".
1256
01:33:03,828 --> 01:33:05,621
I'm running a piece about JT,
1257
01:33:05,747 --> 01:33:08,833
in particular, about the photo
I found online of Savannah.
1258
01:33:08,958 --> 01:33:11,335
It looks strikingly like Mr. LeRoy.
1259
01:33:12,378 --> 01:33:15,173
It'd really be in your best interests
to return my call.
1260
01:33:16,549 --> 01:33:17,550
Fuck.
1261
01:33:17,675 --> 01:33:19,218
Geoff. Bradwell with "The Guardian"
1262
01:33:19,343 --> 01:33:21,095
calling again to confirm
that Savannah...
1263
01:33:21,220 --> 01:33:23,681
Yeah, Savannah, my sister,
1264
01:33:23,806 --> 01:33:27,769
was the body of... of JT Leroy, yeah.
1265
01:33:27,894 --> 01:33:31,606
But, Laura... Laura was the voice.
She... She did all the writing.
1266
01:33:32,231 --> 01:33:35,026
Savannah, Bradwell calling again.
1267
01:33:35,151 --> 01:33:37,445
Listen, I know for a fact
that you're JT,
1268
01:33:37,570 --> 01:33:42,116
so at this point you should really just
make a statement before my story runs.
1269
01:33:45,620 --> 01:33:49,290
This may sound crazy, but the
whole thing was never a big scheme.
1270
01:33:49,415 --> 01:33:52,043
Never at all. I mean, it was just...
1271
01:33:52,168 --> 01:33:54,879
I dunno, it just got out of hand.
It snowballed, I guess.
1272
01:34:03,888 --> 01:34:06,474
What the fuck?
1273
01:34:07,058 --> 01:34:10,394
I guess we betrayed some people, sure.
1274
01:34:17,610 --> 01:34:19,946
Baby, did you get followed?
1275
01:34:20,071 --> 01:34:21,781
I don't know, I don't think so.
1276
01:34:23,032 --> 01:34:25,993
Fuck. This is a fucking witch-hunt.
1277
01:34:27,286 --> 01:34:30,706
Do you... Do you want a tea?
Or I can make you eggs or something.
1278
01:34:30,832 --> 01:34:32,625
No, I can't eat anything. I'm OK.
1279
01:34:34,710 --> 01:34:35,920
Oh, my God.
1280
01:34:36,629 --> 01:34:37,672
Babe.
1281
01:34:43,886 --> 01:34:45,638
They know who I am now.
1282
01:34:51,853 --> 01:34:53,646
I'm so ashamed.
1283
01:34:58,651 --> 01:35:01,112
I just wanna fucking disappear.
1284
01:35:05,741 --> 01:35:07,410
How are you holding up?
1285
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,540
I mean, I figured
I'd feel some kind of relief.
1286
01:35:15,501 --> 01:35:18,379
But I'm kind of at a loss.
I'm just like...
1287
01:35:20,840 --> 01:35:23,384
- At a loss.
- Yeah.
1288
01:35:26,053 --> 01:35:27,263
Babyhead.
1289
01:35:29,473 --> 01:35:32,476
It's the fucking end
of the book.
1290
01:35:32,602 --> 01:35:34,562
It's like the end of Sarah.
1291
01:35:36,063 --> 01:35:39,442
JT's, like, running naked
through the woods.
1292
01:35:39,942 --> 01:35:41,402
They have pitchforks.
1293
01:35:42,945 --> 01:35:44,780
They're fucking after him.
1294
01:35:46,282 --> 01:35:48,326
Mad 'cause he's actually a boy.
1295
01:35:52,455 --> 01:35:54,957
You could have written
a different ending.
1296
01:35:57,335 --> 01:35:59,045
It had to be that ending.
1297
01:36:06,594 --> 01:36:08,512
It's a great fucking ending.
1298
01:36:20,566 --> 01:36:23,194
They think
that the work is fraudulent.
1299
01:36:26,113 --> 01:36:29,450
You know, this ain't a hoax,
this ain't fraud.
1300
01:36:29,575 --> 01:36:31,243
My books are real.
1301
01:36:35,164 --> 01:36:36,290
Hello?
1302
01:36:39,335 --> 01:36:40,503
Hello?
1303
01:37:19,667 --> 01:37:24,046
Without further ado, let's give
a warm welcome to Laura Albert.
1304
01:37:44,066 --> 01:37:45,735
Tom Waits...
1305
01:37:47,069 --> 01:37:52,199
wanted to do an interview
with JT LeRoy for Vanity Fair.
1306
01:37:53,826 --> 01:37:55,661
JT declined...
1307
01:37:58,205 --> 01:38:00,499
because he was notoriously shy.
1308
01:38:06,005 --> 01:38:10,176
One of the reasons JT was so shy
1309
01:38:12,261 --> 01:38:14,847
is JT didn't have a body.
1310
01:38:17,224 --> 01:38:19,351
JT was an avatar.
1311
01:38:21,270 --> 01:38:23,606
We are given this persona,
1312
01:38:24,607 --> 01:38:27,151
and then we are given this body.
1313
01:38:27,693 --> 01:38:31,572
And there's no promise
from whomever made us
1314
01:38:31,697 --> 01:38:33,657
that the two will be in sync.
1315
01:38:35,284 --> 01:38:39,205
And, hey, I say we can be in the misery
1316
01:38:40,915 --> 01:38:43,042
of trying to get them to match up,
1317
01:38:45,252 --> 01:38:47,505
or we can create our own world.
1318
01:38:50,466 --> 01:38:51,967
Let me take you back.
1319
01:38:53,094 --> 01:38:55,012
I was in a group home,
1320
01:38:55,429 --> 01:38:57,681
I'm in my pain,
1321
01:38:57,807 --> 01:39:00,226
and there's pain all around,
1322
01:39:00,351 --> 01:39:01,727
and I'm...
1323
01:39:02,269 --> 01:39:04,688
I'm looking for the tools...
1324
01:39:06,357 --> 01:39:08,734
for other people to feel that pain,
1325
01:39:09,860 --> 01:39:11,612
to understand it,
1326
01:39:13,030 --> 01:39:16,909
and I can't be in this body, you know?
1327
01:39:17,034 --> 01:39:21,956
Because my biggest fear
is if I tell you my pain,
1328
01:39:23,541 --> 01:39:26,001
you'll say, "You deserved it.
1329
01:39:26,127 --> 01:39:28,254
You're disgusting.
1330
01:39:28,379 --> 01:39:29,797
You're horrible."
1331
01:39:31,799 --> 01:39:36,512
And I'm seeing
these blond, blue-eyed boys
1332
01:39:36,637 --> 01:39:39,140
on after-school specials,
and I'm like...
1333
01:39:41,225 --> 01:39:43,060
I gotta find another body.
1334
01:39:46,605 --> 01:39:49,108
So I start calling suicide hotlines.
1335
01:39:51,068 --> 01:39:52,862
And I meet JT.
1336
01:39:54,864 --> 01:39:57,700
I was as surprised as everyone else
1337
01:39:59,869 --> 01:40:02,037
what JT wrote.
1338
01:40:04,498 --> 01:40:06,250
Then I was sad
1339
01:40:07,960 --> 01:40:13,424
'cause I couldn't give
JT the body he wanted.
1340
01:40:17,011 --> 01:40:18,971
The body he deserved.
1341
01:40:23,809 --> 01:40:27,396
And he found that in Savannah.
1342
01:40:33,444 --> 01:40:36,197
- Um, but to be back is...
- Oh, I know.
1343
01:40:36,322 --> 01:40:38,324
- ...meta.
- It's incredible.
1344
01:40:38,449 --> 01:40:39,617
- What's your name?
- Mikayla.
1345
01:40:39,742 --> 01:40:42,077
Mikayla. Pleasure.
1346
01:40:42,203 --> 01:40:43,871
- Thank you.
- Really.
1347
01:40:43,996 --> 01:40:45,039
Hey.
1348
01:40:46,624 --> 01:40:48,626
Babyhead. Get in here.
1349
01:40:49,001 --> 01:40:50,461
It's been a long time.
1350
01:40:51,962 --> 01:40:53,756
I'm... I'm really glad that I came.
1351
01:40:53,881 --> 01:40:55,507
I'm really glad you did too.
1352
01:40:55,633 --> 01:40:56,842
- What's your name?
- DJ.
1353
01:40:56,967 --> 01:40:59,678
- DJ. Thanks for coming.
- Thank you so much.
1354
01:41:00,596 --> 01:41:02,097
How's Geoff?
1355
01:41:02,223 --> 01:41:06,060
He's good. You know, he's being Geoff.
Making music.
1356
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,062
I like what you said earlier too.
1357
01:41:08,187 --> 01:41:10,856
Thank you for connecting
to Sarah like that.
1358
01:41:10,981 --> 01:41:12,233
It's really beautiful.
1359
01:41:12,358 --> 01:41:14,443
Oh, can we just get
a picture of you guys?
1360
01:41:14,568 --> 01:41:16,946
- Sure.
- Yeah, sure.
1361
01:41:18,030 --> 01:41:19,657
Wow.
1362
01:41:19,782 --> 01:41:20,783
Here we are.
1363
01:41:23,661 --> 01:41:28,582
Well, I also came to say goodbye.
Um, I'm gonna move to New York.
1364
01:41:29,166 --> 01:41:30,292
I'm excited.
1365
01:41:30,417 --> 01:41:33,545
Wow. I guess. That's a big one for you.
1366
01:41:34,004 --> 01:41:35,673
- What's your name?
- Thomas.
1367
01:41:42,346 --> 01:41:46,892
Congratulations. And, you know,
maybe I'll see you out in the world.
1368
01:41:47,017 --> 01:41:49,395
Out playing in the fields of the Lord.
1369
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:51,021
- What's your name?
- Alex.
1370
01:41:56,527 --> 01:41:57,778
Hey, Sav.
1371
01:41:59,071 --> 01:42:02,491
I heard you were, uh... writing.
1372
01:42:03,242 --> 01:42:06,203
- Yeah.
- Just remember.
1373
01:42:06,328 --> 01:42:09,128
Just 'cause you played
a writer, doesn't mean you are one.
1374
01:42:15,838 --> 01:42:17,089
Good luck.
1375
01:42:19,758 --> 01:42:20,926
Thank you.
1376
01:42:22,553 --> 01:42:24,054
- What's your name?
- Eva.
1377
01:42:24,179 --> 01:42:25,973
Eva...

01:42:38,235 --> 01:42:40,237
