Hi mom. I just landed. Oh, I am using someone else's phone.
Mine won't connect to the wifi. I'm not sure why,
but I couldn't get a connecting until tomorrow,
so I am going to just book a hotel and stay for the night.
I played with the idea of getting a train, but it's going to take 14 hours.
I spoke with someone on the flight and I am just too exhausted to do
that right now. Okay.
I'll text you when I get to the hotel. I hope everything's going okay.
Bye.
I am checking in. Okay.
Is that your move back there?
English? Yeah. Is that okay?
Do we have another choice?
Not if we want to understand each other. No.
Okay. Could be kind of fun. What? We could,
could do other stuff and not talk. Excuse.
Me.
No, no, no. Not like that. No. See,
we're already not understanding each other. No,
I meant
trying to read each other.
Okay. And how would we do that?
Do you know about this thing that people are doing where
they look at each other's eyes for a couple minutes?
A couple minutes? No. Like eye contact? No.
No. It is for a longer period.
Did you make this up?
No. No. It is. He has a name,
eye gaze. I gaze I gaze or something? Yes.
Okay. Yeah.
The eye gaze. Yes. No. I look okay.
No.
Yeah, maybe not outside of her club.
Yeah. Actually could.
Look weird. Weird looks. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
What's his My.
Your move?
Like hitting on me.
Your signature move that you do like a
bar when you're going up to someone? No. Okay.
Sorry. I don't understand. It's
like hitting on someone. No, not like.
No.
Ah, in a nice way when you're.
Flirty.
Yes. Yes. I could have just said.
Flirting. Yeah.
Flirting.
Flirting. Oh, that's me, huh?
No, actually it was special.
Three. I'm flattered.
The jacket tug. It was a good one.
I did not know if that would work.
Oh, it worked. I'm out here.
Oh.
No, thank you. Yeah,
I was waiting to see if he would
accepted me on the dating app. You saw that?
You saw.
Yourself on the app?
My photo, everything. Oh, great. You're staring quite hard on it though.
Was it?
I was, yeah. Was I

Oh, was it going to.
Accept? Accept.
Yes. Okay. I mean, I guess we'll never know now.
No. Yeah. Should I leave?
Yeah, I think you.
Yeah.
I was going to swipe left.
Oh. Oh God. This is very awkward. I'm very embarrassed for you. Yes.
For me. Yeah. I'm Kate, by the way.
Oh, no.
Yeah. Since you didn't see my.
Profile. Yes, but this is not how we say hello in French, actually.
Okay.
That's better. Yeah. Juliet. Okay.
Yes. You remembered. I did.
Yes.
Should I read the rest of your profile? See what you like?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes. I think in person is very overrated,
so we should just message each other instead.
Okay. I mean, I could do that. You just want me to swipe right?
You've just been waiting for it. So do it and then.
I'll know. Okay.
Okay. You're messaging me. I'm.
Doing.
It.
Okay. I'm doing it. Should I message back? Let me.
Think of something. Good. No you.
Shouldn't. I'll leave you on red.
Is that how we see?
Yes. Okay. Better not. Okay.
Banjo. That's as good as I can do.
Yes. Oh, I got the text from this girl,
Kate. I don't know who that is.
And what are you going to say.
Back Bajo. Okay. I'm going. Can't,
oh, I'm not.
Looking at my looking.
Hello. Okay.
My turn. How's your week been?
Oh, no. I.
Mean, that's how you do it on a dating app.
This fucking up so much. Well, you say good,
and then you ask me and I say, good. And then we just, we never talk.
Again. Yes, of course. That's how it works. Yeah. I forgot that was the rule.
That was the law. That's.
Just the rule. Does that mean goodbye?
No, it means,
see you soon.
Okay. Why is that.
Done? Sorry.
Why are you in Paris? Why are you in Paris?
I'm from here.
You are?
No.
You're.
Not. No.
Oh, so.
You're lying too. It's not far.
It's not far. I don't live far.
Okay. Yeah. I'm here for a wedding.
Is it yours?
Yeah. I'm getting married, so Yeah.
I've seen runaway bride, so I
Okay with.
Oh, you're proposing. Okay.
Yeah.
Great. We can run away.
My sister is getting married. Well, that's a lot less interesting. Is it?
You're just going to leave now finding any excuse.
I.
Wanted to runaway Brian when,
no, where is it?
Where's the wedding?
Where's the wedding?
In Italy.
This is in Italy. You know.
This isn't Italy. No. Oh, shit. Where are we?
I am aware of that, that I had some trouble with.
I mean.
It's not your fault.
To flag everything.
A flight was canceled in New York and it was just a whole thing.
It's not interesting. When is it?
It's on Saturday and
Wednesday.
Wednesday, yeah. I saw the, can
I do the song in my head as well?
Do you? Yeah. Can I hear it?
I'll just have to watch the canting on my fingers.
There's cocktail things and I'm a bridesmaid,
so I guess that's important.
Are you not decisive for it?
Why do you say that? I don't know.
I just felt that
I'm just tired.
Okay. Do you want to go sit down somewhere
because you're tired?
Sure.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. Okay.
That's.
Why. Yeah. Oh yeah, I know.
Oh, yeah. Oh, you know where we're going? I do. Okay.
You had this planned all over me.
Your trains run often here, I've noticed.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's the beauty of the French National Transportation System.
Oh, yeah. You work for that?
No, they pay me every month to promote them.
Alright. Okay.
Very handsomely, I have to say. Yeah. It's quite a comfortable life. So you're.
Rich, you're saying.
Filthy rich.
Okay.
Yes, from the French National Transportation System.
Interesting.
Where do you live? That's fast.
No, I mean, you said you're not from Paris. Oh.
Yeah. No. Yes.
Not far. Maybe
like 40 minutes away.
Okay. By train or by train. Okay. Train. Yeah.
This is your train. Yeah.
Sorry to catch it. Now you're not on watch.
Yeah, no, it's really beautiful. Yeah. You should see it.
Yeah. No,
because Paris is great tourists and stuff.
It's a, are you calling me that? No. No.
There's so much to see outside of it.
Yes.
I'm sure.
And you are from New York?
I am from New York, yeah.
New York.
That was.
Good. Really? Yeah. Do I have that accent?
Have you ever been? Yes. You have. That's why I have the accents. Yeah.
You heard it once? No, when I was, I was six.
When you went? Yes. To New York. Okay. I'm sure you remember just everything.
Everything. Yes. Yeah.
No, no, nothing actually.
But my memory in general, it's not.
Oh, really? I'll have to test that.
What's your first memory that you can recall?
Yeah.
Which one can I say? Oh, okay.
I was at Christmas dinner. Okay. Christmas dinner.
And I stole a lot of champagne,
and then I was very sick. You were sick? I was very sick, yes. For me. Oh,
how old were you? I was very little. You were little.
I was three, I think. Three years old. Yes.
That's the first time making I got drunk. Yes.
Is that a French thing?
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Okay.
What was yours?
Cheek.
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. I was, what was yours?
My first memory? Yes.
You know when you look at photos from when you were young from your
childhood,
and you can't tell if something is a real memory or if you just made it
up because of the image you're looking at.
Is that making any sense? Yes. Yes. Yes.
I have a lot of those,
but I think it's a dream that I used to have a lot as a kid.
Yeah. What's visits? The dream was,
I mean, maybe we'd call it a nightmare.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
So I am in a swimming pool,
and it's indoor and it's pitch black,
and it's deep, very, very deep, and
I'm tired and I can't tread water any longer,
and I am trying to get out tread tread water
kicking your feet so you stay afloat. And
so I exhaust that and I look around and all the
ladders just slowly start to disappear,
and then I try to reach the edge, but the water line is too far from it,
so I can't get out that way. And
I don't know, I basically wake up
right when I'm going under.
Yeah, that's pretty scary.
Yeah, it was.
Do you still dream about it now? I mean, when was the last time?
Thankfully, no, actually, it's been a really long time. Yeah.
I haven't thought about that, but it has been quite a while.
Yeah. Are you afraid of the water now?
No. I love the water.
Yeah, that's good. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't let it affect you.
It didn't what? You didn't let it.
Affect you? No, no, no.
I'm pretty resilient. Oh, yeah. Are you? I mean, I'd like to.
Think so. Are.
You?
Yes. Yes. I had no choice.
You had no choice. Can I ask why?
Not yet. Okay.
I'm sorry. I'm fighting a yawn and it seems so rude.
I know I'm boring. No, it's not you. It's not you.
Shall we keep walking? Maybe.
Keep the momentum.
Yes. Yeah. Put the blood in the veins.
No, stop yawning. Oh my God. I feel so bad, please.
Okay, let's do the, oh, running.
We're going to run. We could run. Yes. How are your shoes not.
Yeah.
A little sprint.
A little sprint?
Yes, we can do.
That. Okay.
Are you pushing your hair up again?
Yes. Bugging me.
I like it like.
That.
It'll be down again soon. Don't worry.
Change it up on you.
So do you have just the one sister?
No, there's two.
Sisters.
Do you have any siblings?
Yes, one brother.
What's his name?
Olivia.
That was my, was like you? Yeah.
And your sisters?
The oldest is Margo.
Margo.
And the middle, the one getting married. That's Kelly.
Oh, so you're the baby.
I am the baby. Is that.
Funny? Do you think
you act like a baby because you are the.
Vegan? Do I act like a baby?
Yes.
Like in the family? Yes. Like the.
Youngest? Yes.
I would say no, but ask my sisters. Yes.
They would say you were very annoying.
Maybe, maybe worse words than that. Actually,
I had some energy.
Energy.
What about you? Is he older?
Oh, no. Yes, I am also the baby. Yes.
You're the baby. Yes. It's better. Oh, it is better for the baby. It's the best.
Only the youngest would say that.
It's because the older ones don't know it's the best.
So
Why don't you want to go to the wedding?
You don't have to tell me. No, no. It is kind of a long story.
I don't have time. Lots of time You have time. Yeah.
It will make it a little shorter. Basically.
Growing up, it was just the four of us, my sisters, my mom and I,
and Kelly was just different than Margo and I.
She didn't care about dating or things like that.
She cared about her studies in school.
And just, yeah. You didn't care about your studies?
Not like Kelly. No.
So when she did start dating,
it was just not so nice guys. They didn't treat her very well,
and I don't know, she just would
base her validation off of them and
they'd start this vicious cycle of her trying to peak their
interest and then just giving her crumbs to come back
and Yeah,
this last one just happened to get her pregnant twice.
Yeah. But my nephews, they're the best.
That's why I'm going to the wedding.
Oh.
Well, I.
Love my sister. That sounds hedge, but.
Yeah.
So you are an auntie. I am. I'm a baby aunt.
That's very sexy. It's what? It's very sexy, sexy, sexy.
Is it the auntie, not the baby, right?
Yeah. It's when you start basing your worth off someone else,
it all gets entangled and
really messy.
Yeah. I mean,
we want to trust people with sharing anything,
including their burdens.
Yeah. Not everyone deserves that privilege.
I guess we wouldn't know unless we tried. She just got in a little too deep.
Do you plan this? Oh, this you I made it.
You made it.
We just nonchalantly walk and talk and pass this
breathtaking view, and we come together and we kiss.
Okay. That's where your head is at my head about.
Should we get over we?
I think so.
It is beautiful. Ruin it.
Cute.
So Margo, you said
that is bit French?
Yeah. We probably have some French somewhere in the lineage.
Oh, I think, yeah. How far down?
Ooh, far enough. Where you didn't just kiss your cousin.
Which, what is this animal?
What is that animal? Okay. Wait, no, it's small. Is it big? No.
Is that it?
Es cargo? A snail? Yes. Snail. You're a snail.
Yes. That's your animal? Yes. I'm a snail.
I'm slow moving and I leave little bits behind it. What?
Okay. I've never thought about it like that.
You seem kind of fast paced me.
Not normally.
No. No.
Normally I'm very methodological
method. Logical. No, that's not the.
Methodological. Wait. That sounds right. Oh my God.
What is it? It's method.
Methodical.
Oh my gosh. Methodical. Yes.
Methodical. Yes. Methodical. Yes. Sorry, my English is not,
mine is mine.
What is yours? My animal?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe like a fox or something.
Yes. You could be the one with the huge cute ears.
I try to tell. My ears are cute. No, they're just really cute.
The fucks are my ears. The fucks, the fox.
The, okay, so not my ears.
I mean, let me see. Serious. No, no. Let your ears.
They're cute too. Good. I'm glad you think so.
That felt very wonderful.
My hotel.
Oh, yep. Fancy.
When is your.
Plates? Tomorrow evening.
Tomorrow evening. Okay.
Should we, oh, you said not to ruin it, so.
Right. Okay.
Now I am very curious what you're looking at. Is that Kelly?
No, that's Margo the oldest. Oh yeah.
Kelly's in there somewhere. You keep scrolling to the right. My.
Oh my God, he's so cute. Oh my God. Who is he?
That's my nephew. That's Benny. He's.
Yeah, he's the best. He's so cute.
How old is he? He's the youngest.
Oh, it must be so cool being an aunt.
Honestly.
It's the only thing keeping me going. Some days.
He gets a love them up, fight them nice things,
and then you just get to give them back. You just give them back. Yeah.
That's.
Exactly Being an aunt, take it back. I don't want it.
Does your brother not have.
Kids? No.
No.
No. He keeps too busy with work. No,
I think that's why I became an artist actually.
You became an artist.
Yeah, that's all I saw. It was
so boring.
Just so serious and grumpy all the time.
Just working all the time. I didn't want that.
But I don't think you could just become an artist.
It's kind of just something you are. Ah.
Okay. Okay. And you are a philosopher?
Yes, I am. Close.
Close.
I'm an advertising. Yeah. Is.
That close?
No, it's not at all.
I'd like to think it was, but no, there's a lot of bullshit in my world,
I would say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you sell things that you believe in?
Oh, that's a really good question.
Mostly. Mostly? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I find it's a bit a
crazy how advertisement is everywhere.
Yeah.
It's on the subways, it's on the trains.
It's listening to you now on your phone to target
you.
All of my work.
All of your work. Yeah. So I'm just going to order a few things for you.
Books about painting fences.
Painting fences. Painting.
Fences, okay.
What is the best color
for roofs? Roofs.
Am I doing some maintenance on my home? I am currently redecorating.
I need something really kitch for my living room.
You're welcome. Thank you so.
Much.
If only there was as much art as advertising,
then it would be a little bit better, right? Yeah.
Some of your work everywhere and not mine.
To know. Most art is advertisement these days anyway.
I mean, not all of it. Not yours.
Not mine.
Not yours.
How do you know? I just do,
because actually I paint mainly technology.
I do these big murals and it's just cell phones
and pictures of Instagram posts.
You don't, don't?
No.
You can't do that? No. So you're lying?
Yes.
Okay, great.
I don't think that's, no, just fences. Just fences. Yeah.
Yeah. Oh.
Mom is calling. That's all. I'll call it back.
We have a friend.
You wants some of your wine? I think. I think so, yeah. Alright.
Your turn.
My turn.
Your turn. I want to see your brother.
Oh, I am not lying.
I don't think I have a single photo with my brother on my cell phone.
What?
Yeah.
Are you scared that I, no. Me looking through your camera. What scares you?
No, I can show you now.
Okay.
My camera roll is mainly just pictures of food and
body parts that I needed to examine because they look different. No,
you can look. They look different from the day before. That's it. Look, body.
Parts that look different.
So what.
Happened to your finger? What? What's going.
On there? Oh no. I burnt it.
We have another friend. I.
Know. It's so many friends. No, it's fine now It's fine.
Now it's just one of my dinner creations. It's fine.
Oh yeah. Just a little more. Yeah.
This feels.
Very intimate. No, it's fine.
The older you get unless you have to hide.
I like this one. It's nice.
Yeah. Bernadette took Pat. My friend Bernadette,
I've known her since I was seven or eight. We went to school together.
Where are you.
In the photo? Yeah. Where.
Was it taken?
That's where I live.
That's it. Oh, wow.
Yeah, I told you. It's beautiful. It looks different in.
Here.
It looks even better than on the picture.
Really?
Yeah.
Are you still looking at the same photo? Yeah.
I am. You're very pretty.
Okay. Stop looking at Africa. Okay. Okay.
You know the dream you told me about the repeat one? Yeah. Yeah.
I think it caused me to have a dream I used to have when I was a kid. Really?
Last night? Yeah. Yeah. What happens in it?
Or somebody's chasing after me.
Oh, is it one of those ones where you can't run, you can't get anywhere.
Because No. No, I can't run it. I'm very good at it actually.
You're good at running in the dream. Yeah. Yeah.
But I have to jump over all these fences. Over fences.
In the dream.
Yeah, in the dream. Did you do hurdles for you?
No.
Nothing. No. But in the dream,
I never look back to see who was chasing me. And every time when I wake up,
I want to know. I want to know who was chasing me, but I never do.
Well, what if nothing's chasing you?
It must be something. Why? I'm too scared.
Oh my God. What if it's nothing?
No, it could be something. You're right. No, it could be something really scary.
Really.
Scary. Like a clown. Like a killer cloud. A killer cloud knife and yeah,
you're just.
Wow. Yeah.
Is that what scares you? No. You know what scares you most? Actually? What?
The flying monkeys in the wizard of all.
Flying monkeys. Okay. I mean, it could be them,
but they're flying and you're jumping and it wouldn't really make sense.
It what scares you?
Swallowing gum. Swallowing gum when you, yeah,
that scares me. I can't chew it. Yeah. Swallowing gum.
People who changed their minds really quickly.
And the D train in New York City. You want me to keep going?
What else? Scares.
But no monsters.
No.
Interesting.
I know, I get it. Yeah,
no, I get it. I get it. I'm sorry. Oh, I hear Max,
can you put him on? Hi, Maxie. Hi.
You did. Oh good. Yeah,
I'll be there soon. Oh, that's fun.
Can you put Grandma back on please?
Bye. Hi.
Is Margo there? Of course she did.
How's Kelly doing yet?
You're just going to have to grin and bear it. Can she not hear you?
Yeah. Okay. Yeah,
I'm having a really good time here.
And no, I will tell you when I see you.
No, I'll tell you when I see you. I can't.
I'll be there. Okay.
Alright. Give everyone my love. Okay.
Bye.
Everything okay?
Yeah, mostly.
Are they freaking out without you?
Yeah. I mean, no, they're adults so that, yeah.
Basically
now I'm ruining things.
No, you're not.
You okay? Yeah. Just thinking about the whole thing.
Do you need help?
No, no, no. You relax.
Produce some wine.
Careful with your fingers.
All of my 10 fingers.
All of the 10?
Yeah. I should have never told you that.
You don't want any new photos in that camera roll.
Come here.
So you do need my help.
Only for the tasting.
I can do that part. Just really hot.
Oh my God. Yeah. It's so good.
What's in it?
Well, it's a secret recipe. Yeah, of.
Course. Do you cook a lot?
As much as I.
Can. Yes.
Can.
You cook? I can burn things. Okay,
you can watch then I can watch.
I can do that.
I see what you're doing.
No distractions. I'm trying to impress.
Oh, you're trying to.
Impress.
Trying to impress. Yeah.
Me. No, this is very disrupting. This is very disrupting.
You have to go sit back down now.
Really? You're sending me away. You're watching me from afar.
You enjoying the show?
How.
Is it delicious?
What can't you do? That's what I'm wondering. No, no, no. Don't say that please.
It's so many.
Things. Is it setting you up a little bit?
I'm bad at so many things. I.
Promise. I don't know if I believe it.
No, I am. I am.
Just superior at cooking.
It's my one skin.
That's it. Everything's down. Everything else.
Is so bad.
Just so you start up really strong.
Then.
Just go down. Yes, it's smart,
but actually, what are you bad at?
I'm really bad at tennis. Tennis.
That's the easiest thing to.
Be playing. No, no. Not like I'm bad.
I am really bad at things like horrible, horrible ball.
Yeah.
Like the ball doesn't even hit the workout once. Does.
It go through it?
Yes. Or I hit it on
the side there or on the,
it will never go back.
Bounces, and then it just misses every time. Always so bad.
My brother, when he was practicing his swing when we were little, he would
have me throw the ball at the ract. At his? Yeah.
He would have throw the ball at him just because I was so useless.
Wow. He'd just take the racket from you and just the ball.
Yes. That's pretty cute though. No, he did not think it was cute.
I could see you doing that. It's very,
could you see me with my brother and my brother shouting at me?
What would he say? He's like, I have a competition tomorrow.
Did he actually play in a competition? He was. Yes, he was. He was that good.
He had you. Yes. Well.
I could.
See why that could be a little.
Frustrating. I was the only partner he could get.
No. What about you?
What about me?
What am I bad at? What are the things you're bad at?
Why are we listing the things that were bowling?
Do you know? Bowling. Yeah. Bullying. Yes.
Pool.
You line up shot.
And.
Then stick. Oh, okay. With a stick. Yeah. Yeah, with a stick. Oh yeah. I.
Love that.
Yeah. You good at it? I'm quite good at it. Yes.
Not as good as cooking.
No. Between.
Tennis and cooking, between,
I think there's a really wide range there. It sounds like it.
I was at an interview the beginning of the year.
I was trying to change agencies and the interviewer asked me,
we exchanged names after I sat down.
And.
Then he asked me, can you list your weaknesses?
And I just stared at him blankly and asked him if I could list my
strengths first.
And he kind of said no and just waited for me to
answer what my weaknesses were.
So that was weird.
What did you say?
Interviews. That's all I could think of. I was your weakness?
Yeah. In an interview.
Yeah.
It made sense in the moment. Did you get it? No,
I didn't get it. No. No. You're better off.
I mean, yeah.
Anyone that starts off with that isn't really giving you much room to go up.
It's true. Yeah. It's the same with everyone though. Not just interviews,
which is
when we meet people and we see their
likes and their dislikes and how they view the world, I
feel like we judge them by that because it's so foreign.
It's just awful. I dunno.
What? Should we be intrigued by that?
Oh yeah. I think so. I mean,
at least sticking around long enough to see how they got that way.
And then you run away.
Exactly. Yeah.
He talk.
Yeah.
Heard you sing and tone to silver
heard you cry. I
But you did not know.
Didn't look happy about that one.
If I
stallion tam them down,
I.
Is this your work?
Yes.
It's beautiful.
Thank you. Come eat something.
What is this?
It's pastries and cakes from the
bakery. Yes. Which.
Should I go.
For? This one is my favorite.
This one.
It's lemon with.
You took a little bite. Was it.
Good? Yes, it was very good.
Oh my God. Yeah. It was so good.
I'll let you have the rest.
So
When was your last relationship?
When was that? A little what?
I'm just curious.
Yeah. I don't do relationships.
You don't do relationships? Oh God.
Not the old queer. I don't do relationships.
Cliche. No, it's not like that. It's not like that.
It's not like that?
No.
What's it like then?
I don't like people.
You don't like people? What?
Really?
You don't like me?
I don't know you that well. Yet.
You had sex with me.
You don't need to know someone to have sex with them. I disagree.
Which is a one night stand. Then.
To have good sex, we had,
you felt like you knew me. No feelings are.
Fleeting. Okay.
Yes. At that moment I did.
You felt like you knew me.
I think I'm the opposite.
In what way?
I seem to like everyone.
That's worse.
Why is that worse?
Because I could be anyone then.
No, I don't agree with that.
Again.
Yeah, it's not true. I mean, I don't like people in a romantic way,
but people are great and messy and chaotic and
all of those things too.
But they're great.
Yeah, they're great and necessary. Besides,
I don't believe in random.
I don't believe in random meetings.
I don't. No.
What about free? Will.
I support it?
You support free will.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay. So if we were, we.
Yeah.
We're destined to meet. How is their free will?
But we chose to sleep together.
We weren't sleeping.
Have sex all night long.
I've never had a one night stand.
Would you say that's what this was?
I don't.
Know.
No. You're very
open.
Okay.
No, I didn't say it. Well, I mean,
sexually you seem like you do that a lot.
Well, I don't have to feel comfortable to do that,
so that's why I was open.
Do you ever
sleep with someone and then, I dunno,
you find out things that you don't like about them. What happens then?
What?
I don't know. Anything.
I'd be fine. I mean,
it takes a lot for me to get there at all.
No, but it's like things you don't like about someone can always
surface.
Yeah. But I mean, I'd be okay.
I mean,
there's always things that can come up and I hope to be learning things about
someone. Always. Even it doesn't change connection.
No. But you could feel regrets.
No. I mean, unless you had a family that you left. No.
Are you trying to tell me something? I feel like you are.
What if.
I had three kids? I like kids.
You want to see them.
Where are they? Upstairs. Upstairs.
I just feel like you'd be the type to want to talk about your
kids. And I saw your camera roll, so you can't really say that.
Maybe I don't have three kids. You don't.
Don't. Don't have three. Only two.
Yes, only two.
So you think fate or
destiny or whatever it's called,
it's always at work.
I do. Yeah.
What about the shit stuff we go through?
I mean, to believe it at all,
you kind of have to believe that stuff's for a reason too.
You've never had that feeling in your stomach when something feels so right to
you or completely wrong.
Yeah, I think so.
Did you bring a bathing suit?
Yes, I brought a bathing suit. Yeah. Good subject change there.
Very smooth.
So breakfast and then swimming.
Okay.
Is it good? Yes. You want to try?
I like that. Oh, is it?
No.
No. I don't like P tissue.
No, you don't like it?
No.
That's good.
Why is that good?
I can't steal my eyes.
But you can steal mine. Let me try again.
Yeah. I like it.
What? It's falling.
Your book is so tiny.
You're book shaming me. My book is tiny. No.
Thank you.
I don't get to read often, so I wanted something I could finish.
What is it about.
At Guide? It sends in
a poem to this famous poet asking for advice and
they just end up exchanging letters for many years.
Did you get it?
Did you get what?
The advice?
Oh, look at the rainbow. Basically, he says,
you shouldn't ask anyone for advice because art should be
your, it belongs to you, so you shouldn't ask anyone what they think.
That's his advice. Well, no, it's more than that.
He goes over life lessons of
solitude and the importance of patience and
yeah, it's really good.
It sounds nice.
It sounds nice.
Do you want to go in to the church? Can we.
I mean like.
This. What are they going to do? Kick us out? Yeah, no,
come on. We'll be fine. Discover up here.
How is your book?
It's okay.
Can I read this to you please?
Ready? Yeah.
There are no traps or snares set up around us,
and there is nothing that should scare or torment us. Life is for us,
the element in which we are most at home.
Thousands of years of adaptation have made us so fitted to this life that when
we hold still, we can hardly be distinguished from everything around us.
We have no reason to distrust our world because it is not against us.
If it contains frightful things, these frights are our frights.
If it contains abyss, these abysses belong to us. If there are dangers,
we must try to love them.
If we only arrange our life according to the principle that we should always
stick to what is difficult,
then whatever still seems most alien to us today will become most familiar and
trustworthy.
How could we forget those old myths found at the origin of the history of all
peoples? The myth about dragons that transform at the last possible moment into
princesses.
Perhaps all the dragons in our life are princesses who are only waiting for the
one moment when we are beautiful and courageous.
Perhaps everything terrible is at bottom.
All that is helpless waiting for our help.
Shit. Yeah.
That is some advice. Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
I keep.
Gazing down. Okay.
The windows to my soul.
Yeah, they're lower than I thought. Okay.
Stop making me laugh. Okay.
Fucking serious. Be fucking serious.
You're trying to break.
Me seriously. I'm trying to break.
You. I thought you've done this.
No, I've never done it before. That's why I'm not good. Okay. Okay.
Alright.
God damnit.
Okay. Okay. Come on. We can do this.
No distractions.
No distractions.
Guard any guard. Okay,
so you've got to cut the deck.
I cut the deck.
I can do it. No. Or is it cheating?
Distribute everything.
So I give you 12 cards by twos. Yes. By twos or threes.
That's the rules of the game.
Of this game.
Yes.
Oh, interesting. Six.
Okay. And then you look at your cards and then you organize them. Okay.
Alright.
Let's see.
I've got some really good cards.
Do you bluff in this game too?
No. No. Okay. Everything has to be the.
Truth. Okay. Oh my God.
Keep it to yourself. Hold on. I'm getting, I need to, hold on. Hold on, hold on.
Okay. Oh my.
God.
How am I supposed to know if you're good? If I've never.
Played? Well, it's when I win.
We'll see.
I'm going to get rid of, that's this time. Do now?
Yes.
You.
Look at your cards.
Oh gosh. I want something bad, but I dunno if I can get it.
Okay. Hold on.
Numbers aren't my thing, so
Okay. I am going to do two. These do. Okay.
You saw that in,
they're not good.
I was thinking about what you read before for new book,
the Princesses and Dragons,
and then going into the church.
I wouldn't step foot in it when I was younger.
Really? Did you grow up going?
Yes. Yes. My mom was very, very religious.
She used to tell me and my brother that if we didn't go, we would go to hell.
Geez.
What happened when you stopped going? You didn't?
No, no. It was difficult at first.
It was difficult for a while I think
I started to grow up
and realize that who I was and what the church was teaching or
what it believed in,
I couldn't coexist.
So then I became very angry.
From 10 to 17, I was really not happy.
That makes sense. What changed?
I started to realize that I couldn't change it,
but you shouldn't see the paintings I drew when I was younger.
They were very dark. Very dark. I.
Wonder whose living rooms they're in? Just dark,
moody energy.
Actually, my brother,
or he was supposed to bring them to the dump a few years ago,
and recently I found them in his garage. All of them.
Captain. Oh gosh. That is so sweet.
Yes. He will be very sweet when you're not looking.
I feel like that's a sibling thing.
Yes. But it felt different today.
Yeah.
Yeah. It felt to know.
Calm, peaceful.
I'm glad
I did not grow up going to church, but it always looked like fun to me.
Which, yeah.
What is that saying? Ignorance is peace. Exactly.
Yeah.
So you never went?
Well, I've been, my first kiss was in a church.
Yeah. Little bit kinky. Yeah.
It wasn't,
my boyfriend was Mormon at the time, and oh, he probably still is.
Or I corrupted him maybe.
But I took him into a back room and it was pitch black and I told him he had to
kiss me or I'd break up with him. Yeah. Not my finest moment, but.
Wow. He kissed me. Is that what turns you on churches?
Churches? No.
I wish I knew sooner I would've brought it. Definitely.
Not.
No. We could have gone to the confession booth. No.
What does turn you on? Wait, that's kind of hot. What does turn you on?
What turns me on? Consistency.
Is that hot for you? It's not where I thought we were going with that.
No.
Where was your first guess?
Actually, it was walking on SX.
What?
SX.
What's that?
It's a street in Paris where you walk and you
can turn back and you can see the Eiffel Tower.
Tell me more about this. It was great. It was a great first kiss.
But really.
No. Okay.
It was when I was seven.
Seven.
Yeah. My friends at the time,
she was called Marine and she kissed me in the field. In the.
Field?
Yeah. Okay. But we had a really bad fight before that.
You had a bad fight? Yes. What about.
I don't remember actually it. Oh, it was something about,
I called her baby doll ugly.
Oh no.
No. Okay. But she had one of those really creepy
lifelike ones. Oh, it was so bad. I was, oh,
to this day, I can't look at it anymore.
And she would want me,
she would force me to put it against my breast and pretend to feed
it. And I would pretend that it would bite me because it was demonic.
And I'd go like, yes.
And then she got really angry
and she ran away and I chased after her because felt really bad.
And she turns around and she just slaps me across.
The face. She slapped. She.
Just slapped me. Oh gosh. And she turned around.
She was so shocked that she did that.
And she turns back and she kisses me on the mouth.
Wow. Wow.
You must have thought girls were just so confusing.
Yes. It was a memorable moment. It.
Sounds like it. Yeah. It's better than my first Mormon.
Kiss. Oh, it's not the competition.
No, but you know what.
This is.
My methods of distraction almost works.
Yeah, it's so close. But I would've still won.
Which you have.
I've got very good cards right now. Do you? Yes. Hold on. I forgot what I had.
Okay. I have.
Four. Oh, I have five.
You have five?
Okay. You want to see them?
Well.
I lose now. No, but I have to prove that I have them. Okay.
Prove it.
Look at this. It's so beautiful. It's literally
perfection. Gorgeous. What about yours? For me?
You want to see? Yes. Okay. How many did I say? I had?
Four. Four. Was I lying? Did I just bluff? Was I playing that.
Game? You can't bluff in this game. It's not poker.
You were distracting me.
Oh wait, wait. I have a card here. That's why. Okay. Oh, oh, oh. Here it is.
Oh wow. Wait. They don't have to answer. No,
but that's actually, you would've won in the third rounds for.
Sure. The third round.
Yes. There's a couple rounds and then there's a round where you have to choose.
It is a complicated game, but okay, we're not done now.
You would've won the points.
Okay.
Yes.
Alright.
No, but a suit. You don't have a suit?
No.
Okay, so win. I have three that you don't win. Okay.
Still win. Alright, fine. So I showed you this for now.
See it. Wait, I lost it. Oh, there you go.
My crocodile is very hungry though.
You can't mix land.
With.
Flying.
Animals. I can't.
No. Oh, I have to be a bird. Yeah, a crocodile could never jump that high.
What about the fla crocodile? Maybe
this is my eagle. I,
my eagle is also very hungry. Is it? Yes.
I.
Didn't ask you before.
You didn't ask What? When was your last relationship?
Well, I don't really do relationships,
I just, I'm too cool for them.
Oh, too cool. Yeah.
Is that what it is?
It ended
maybe a year ago about.
This heartbreak. Not scare you.
Does it not scare me? No. It scares the shit out of me. I mean,
I think not trying scares me more though.
Do you still feel it? The heartbreak? Yes.
No. No.
It's kind of short-lived. The relationship or the heartbreak?
Both. But I dunno. I take
just a little while to process things.
Isn't that to everyone?
No. That weekend we broke up. She was out
partying with friends and I was home sick.
Yeah. I never really understood how you can share everything with someone.
And what do they.
Just forget? No. It seems like, no, they don't.
They just try everything they can to push it
down and forget. I,
it's a year or maybe five years later they're still carrying all this
stuff. Stuff that you processed.
Why did it end?
She was going through a lot.
She just had a major shift in her life and she didn't
really know what to do with it or how to deal with it. So
I would send her
messages asking how she was,
and she'd write me back with one word answers and
just
one day didn't write back at all.
Maybe she was afraid.
Showing her emotions. Friends,
they're there and they support you,
but a lover they see right through you.
Maybe she wasn't ready. Maybe.
To get over, you have to go through. I learned that.
The hard way. Yes.
Or else you keep going around and around and around your whole
life.
I'm just glad I saw what I did.
Yes.
Yeah. I just kept thinking of scenarios in my head.
What if something happened with me or with us and we were too far in
and I don't know when love has conditions,
it's just scary. Can live half conditions.
I dunno.
You were supposed to see it when.
You did.
Look at you believing in fate. Just a change.
Woman.
My mother left when I was 13.
She left?
Yeah.
Have you seen her since?
No. She sends
stupid.
Christmas cards every year.
He was fine. I mean,
he was eight years older than me and I was just a.
I mean, you were a child.
Yeah.
Everyone goes through it. It's okay. I'm sorry.
It's okay. He was a long time ago.
What's.
Olivier.
Like?
He's.
Stubborn and closed off.
I mean, not like to admit it, but we are a lot to.
I don't find you to be like that.
Stubborn.
Yeah. The stubborn put chicks out. Yeah. Yeah.
Can I say something infringed to you?
Can I say something first?
Yeah.
I feel like I've known you for years.
Is that cheesy? Why are you laughing?
It's a little bit cheesy. It little bit cheesy. Bit cheesy.
It doesn't make it untrue.
Okay.
You crazy. No, my eyes.
Are.
Oh no.
Speaking in French. It's helping.
What are you going to do with the rest of your day now that you're getting rid
of me?
I don't know. Maybe I'm going to read my book.
Your Big Brady book. Big book. Yes. Big.
Big book.
It's very heavy.
I saw that you were on page 300 and you're about 5%.
Not even.
Something we could avoid talking about is actually.
Wait, why? Yeah.
Is it some biography on some baroque artist?
Who painted the first dog? What?
I don't know. It sounds niche. Oh no,
you're making it worse. Oh, it's so bad. You really want to know.
Isn't you really want to know? You're not the book. I have to know. No,
I'm not the book shamer. You're not the, oh, I'm not the book.
Because you're not allowed to.
Book shame you. Yeah, I wouldn't.
Okay, okay. Okay. The book is about,
oh my goodness. This is going to be really juicy.
The book is about a twin brother and sister. Okay.
And for some reason,
the twin brother can't find himself a wife on his own.
So the twin sister goes to the duke as you do,
and begs him to find him a wife, her brother,
and then they fall in love. Oh my God.
Wait, see? You're laughing.
You're reading a cheesy No, no. I don't laugh. About.
1500. No, I don't like it.
I found it at my friend Bernadette's house and it was the first thing I saw.
And I cannot finish things that I starred.
I believe in stopping things you're not enjoying when it's books or TV or
film. But.
Then how will I know if the brother, the dance brother finds his wife?
You can admit you're enjoying it. No, I never said that. You didn't.
I never said that I enjoyed it.
I mean, it sounds like you're enjoying it.
You can say you like it.
See, people are so, they'll just keep surprising you.
Do you know your views changed?
No. It's expanded. It's way bigger.
Now. Yeah. Now that you can finally.
Leave.
But I hope to know exactly what happens with this dense brother.
I got it.
It's for you.
You send some photos?
Yes, I will.
This.
I see it.
What? No, I want to go with you. Well, come wait. Come wait.
Are you serious? Yes. Come. I don't have any clothes.
I don't have anything. That's fine. I'll buy something. Or you can wear mine or,
okay.
Yes, but it's going to be fun. What do you mean? Yes, but
did you understand me this whole time? No. My friend is conversational. What?
I'm not confident in it. What?
Oh my God. Kate,
are there other things I should be knowing about you before I head to a wedding?
We'll talk about it on this. Is.
It your.
Wedding this whole time? Yes, exactly. It is my wedding.
