One, two, three, four, five.

Uh -huh.

Now the heart part.

No! One, two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four, five.

You got it? Yeah. Now the heart.

Yes.

Okay, okay, okay. Are you ready?

Two hands.

Yeah.

Yeah.

One more, one more.

That was great.

They,

uh,

played a couple more times just for
practice, but good job.

. .

.

.

When I get to know that you love me, and
you bring good news to me,

I'm going to take you now.

Please remind me why you got me this
bike.

What? This bike. Why?

Core strength, spine health. Remember
the doctor said you were supposed to

it. What's the whole point of a folding
bike? It folds.

The whole thing is fucking impossible to
fold. You know how hard this is to

fold? It's supposed to be more
convenient than a normal bike. It's way

convenient than a normal bike. Also, the
wheels, they're so little.

It's like I've got to pedal four times
to get one normal wheel rotation out of

them.

Where's Maggie? Yo, Maggie!

No, she's not here.

Where is she? She's, uh, at a sleepover.

Where? At Sadie's.

No, she's not at a sleepover with Sadie.
Oh, God,

Sadie is so strange, isn't she? I don't
know if it's good that she's hanging

around with Sadie.

I called ahead. Sadie's mother is
single. There are no men or weapons in

home.

You called Sadie's mother to ask if she
was single? Yeah, of course.

Of course.

Holy shit.

My God, look at all this cheese. No, no,
no, no, no. Leave it, leave it, leave

it, leave it. Not yet, not yet, not yet.
What is all this? What is that? What is

that smell?

I'm making a souffle.

You're making a souffle? And there's 200
pounds of cheese? Is there like an

event? Are we expecting people?

Our neighbors.

Who's neighbors?

Our upstairs neighbors. I told you
yesterday, remember?

Have mentioned that for some insane
reason you want to involve them over.

did you ask me about? What did you,
sweetie? When did that happen?

I told you.

Yesterday. Well, telling me and asking
me are actually two very different

other than being honest. I don't even
think you told me. I'm not going to look

at anything that I say anyway. Oh, fuck.
Did you forget the wine?

The wine?

I texted you. I texted you about wine.
We don't have any wine. What are you

doing?

It's too

late.

They're coming in ten minutes.

They're coming in ten?

Fucking myth. Why didn't you tell me any
of this? Because we've been talking

about them coming for like six months,
okay? And they've been so nice about all

our noise from the renovation.

Our noise?

Did you just say they've been nice about
our noise?

That's nuts. You're making us do plays
for these people now? What is happening

here? She said she wanted to see it. She
just wants to see it now that it's

done. It seems very nice. They're very,
very, you know, they seem cool.

And she has like presence.

She's so, she's so pretty.

Yeah, she's fucking, but he is a fucking
wheel, okay? Every time I'm in the

elevator with him, it's like, blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, non -stop, you

what I mean? That's what people do. He
asks me questions, and he wants me to

him questions, and the eye contact is
off the charts. Yeah, that's called a

conversation, Joe.

What is this?

What? That's a rug.

It's you.

Yeah.

Did you buy this rug?

Oh, my God.

You are so...

I'm asking you to just do that for me.
Would that be okay? Fine. I will do that

for you, okay?

Great. Here we go. Thank you. Yeah,
thank you. This will fix everything.

Oh, man, I love them. They're so cool.

They're super cool.

Maybe you could call them and ask them
to come another night, because I'm just

not feeling up for it tonight, you know?

No. No? No.

Fuck. No, it would be rude. They're
literally on their way. Are you kidding?

I thought we were going to reset. So did
I.

I don't like how they can see right into
our apartment, you know?

actually hand a temon. I can't have any
of this cheese. Please don't eat the

cheese, Joe. I worked so hard on that.
You just wait and then they'll come and

you'll eat cheese and then you can go
upstairs and smoke weed. I'll smoke weed

in here if you let me.

No, I won't because it gets stuck in the
walls.

You know what?

I actually think it's really cool that
they're coming over tonight.

Why?

Because.

Can we finally talk to them about the
noise?

No, Joe, we made a deal.

What deal?

That we weren't going to say anything.

Yeah, well, you know what?

I changed my mind.

It is none of our business what they do
in the privacy of their own home. None

of our business that every night we get
licked in a bite, four -shaping animal

fucking? How is that none of our
business? How is that none of our

business? He is having a spectacular
orgasm. Are you aware of how difficult

is for a woman? It doesn't seem that
hard for her.

What is she, your role model now?

Yeah, she's definitely my role model.
Your to -come role model?

Yeah. Can we please just paint this room
already?

Well, we haven't picked a color, Joe.
Same color, pick a color, who cares?

No.

Is he the limper and she's the growler?
Or

is she the limper and he's the growler?

Either way, I'll bring it up, we'll
laugh about it, and I'll tell them to

get the fuck off. You want everyone to
feel uncomfortable. I'm the one who's

uncomfortable. If our neighbors were
waking us up every night at four in the

morning by blasting music and I said
something about it to them, wouldn't

be completely reasonable?

It's the exact same thing, but it's even
more justified because it's fucking...

Don't say anything.

Just not tonight, please.

Is this all from you?

Well, you can tell me that once in a
while.

You forgot the wine. I didn't forget the
wine. I'm on this collapsible bike like

a fucking schmuck and I can't answer
text messages while I'm on it. Do we

anything nice to drink? Well, if there's
nothing to drink, we should probably

call them and tell them not to go over,
right? Look, this is weird.

This is weird. What is this, New Year's?
We're popping champagne with these

people? It's fine. Look, we'll keep
popping it so by the time they get here,

it'll be, you know, fizzed out and it'll
just be like a sparkling wine. Can't

you see this is obviously not a good
time to have company?

Yes. Do you have any idea how hard I
worked on this fucking thing? It's going

be fucking beautiful if you would just
shut the fuck up. I'm going to make this

very simple. Either you tell it not to
come, or I'm going to bring up the

screaming, groaning fucking noise. What?

Was that an ultimatum? Yeah, the choice
is yours.

I'm sorry.

You're going to bring up the fucking?

Yeah.

Mm, mm -hmm.

I don't understand how hard it is for a
woman to come that hard. Yes, I do,

because you've raised it a hundred times
in the last three minutes. I don't

think... I don't think you really
understand how difficult it is.

And if we say something, do you know
what's going to happen? Every time they

fuck and she pums, they're going to see
our dumb faces.

That's not fair.

I could not care less about anything in
the world than this woman's fucking

orgasm. I just wanted to have a nice
night. I just wanted to have a nice,

fucking night, and you won't let me.
These people are disrespecting us. They

know we can hear them. Did you not see
that? What are you talking about? You

sound like your father. No, that is
not... They know we can hear them. They

off on us. They're fucking with us.
They're perverts. They're not thinking

us. Well, maybe that's the problem.
Maybe they should be thinking about us.

You know what? We're not fucking
canceling. Do you know why?

We don't have friends.

We've got to be friends with them? Are
you kidding me? It's not my fault we

don't have friends.

I would love to have friends.

Why do you think we don't have friends?
Why do you think we don't have friends?

Yes, we are so happy you're here.

Bye.

Ah, two.

Angela, hi. Me too.

Yes. Joe, you remember Peanut Hawk?

Still a good time?

Yes. Yeah.

Are you sure we are not interrupting
something? No, great. Good for you.

Yeah? Great for us. Yeah, we love, yep.

It took you a while to come to the door,
and it sounded like you were arguing.

No filter. No, I just want to be honest.
We were at the door before we rang, and

we could hear you were fighting.

Oh, we were talking. We were, um... We
were fighting. We were fighting. We want

to have a contentious environment in
here, so I understand if that's

to you. No hard feelings, you know what
I mean?

Completely understand, you know? We love
a contentious environment.

We love it.

Really, really. It's fun.

You have the jackpot then, my friend.

You're in for a treat.

Okay. Yeah, great. Do we have to take
our shoes off? Oh, God, no, no, no.

No, I don't.

Yeah, okay, great.

Hey, Joe.

Joe,

be honest. Do you want us to take them
off?

I don't give a fuck if you take your
shoes off, personally.

Hawk, yeah.

Like a bird.

Yep, like a bird.

We've been dying to see your apartment.

Oh. Oh, God. I'm so sorry. We wanted to
invite you. It wasn't quite ready

before. It wasn't quite ready, if you
ask me, but... You mentioned it in the

elevator, but then you never called.

We, uh... I mean, we wondered if we did
something wrong. No, God, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, I'm sorry about that. No.

What do you think?

It's huge.

Oh, much bigger than mine. And you have
such a nice flow.

You have the money.

You really,

you really got some beautiful pieces.

Well, I know what I like, but it's
actually not all expensive. Some of it

Some of it. Most of it's not. Some of it
is. Yeah, not everything, but not

everything. I guess what I meant to say
is you can tell that it's been done with

a lot of care, and you have a really
great eye.

That's true.

I can feel it. I feel you put so much
love.

I did that. Thank you. Yeah. I love it.
I do love it. I really care. I do.

Thank you for saying that.

See you.

I care. I do care a lot.

I'm getting emotional. I don't know why,
but I thank you.

Thank you for saying that. I've got
great energy.

Energy is what I'm going for. That's
what I wanted. Energy is great. We

lot about how to capture energy as
though that was a real thing we could

Genetic, chemical, potential, nuclear,
sexual.

You cannot really create it or destroy
it, but you can find ways to shape it.

Beautiful.

You shaped it really beautifully here. I
love the shape.

Thank you.

Too existential for you, Joe?

No, hey, not existential enough for me.
Let's get deep.

What is life?

Oh, that is my Spanish man?

No. Oh, my God. Flan. Oh, how elegant.

Fair warning.

Once you try peanut flan, there's no
going back.

You'll be at our door late at night like
a junkie under the bridge, and we need

a score like heroin.

You might want to put it in the fridge.
Yes, yeah. Come on. You don't want to

refrigerate it. Is it flan or flan?

Flan. Flan.

I thought it was flan.

I'm so sorry. I

haven't... I literally haven't offered
you anything to drink.

Beautiful. Or maybe you'd prefer

wine. Wine's better. Wine. Wine.

Wine. Do we have wine?

We do.

We do. Wine.

Wine.

Wine.

Wine. Wine. Wine. Wine. Wine. Wine.
Wine.

We have, we've been waiting for the
perfect moment. Are you sure this is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Great.

Finally.

There it is, 1982.

You want to save that for another time?
No, what time? This is it. You're

kidding me, yeah.

Do you want to open it?

Of course, yeah.

That's not where it is.

No, it's never been there.

No. No, it's never been there.

It's literally never been there.

Do you want me to find it?

It's not there. No, because I never
would have put it in there. That's not

it goes.

It's literally never been there. Do you
want me to do it?

Sorry,

we don't have people over very often.

A little bit of cork in there.

Thank you. I knew I'd get there.

Thank you so much.

Salud.

He's dead, so maybe next time.

Oh,

how is your daughter?

Maggie. She's so cool. She is cool,
yeah. I love her style.

I know, right? She's awesome.

Yeah, she's amazing. I'm really going to
miss her.

Where's she going?

The Coliseum.

In six years?

She's 12 years old? I don't know, but
I'm going to miss her, and I'm just

to be alone.

What about you?

Where am I going? I'm just saying it's
going to be... Yeah.

It's going to be different. You're going
to kill me. Do you know something? No,

I don't know. It won't be the same.

It's not going to be the same.

I'm sorry.

I feel like I'm becoming emotional
again.

I just... Sorry for what?

You would be crazy if we didn't fight.

Hey. You know what the best way to be
friends is?

Oh, I have a lot of that then. That's
what I do.

There's nothing in the world better than
family.

I mean... Sure, sure thing.

But not everyone, because that isn't
your... No. You don't... I mean, we

talk about it. We think about it. Right.

Hasn't been that bright already. Yeah.

I don't know. Maybe.

Maybe. Great.

Try to find fear in the later.

What?

What?

You don't just do that.

Just something to remind you of home

Come on. Oh, that is so sweet, and I
love how you take it and you say it

Come on. Oh, my God, it's so sweet. I
would eat you. I cannot. I don't eat

No,

he does.

I do. We have a whole cart of work.

Cheese? We have so much cheese. No. I
mean, no. For me?

Oh, you don't eat cheese.

No.

Salmation. Right, yeah. Oh, the
crackers.

I don't know. For me, also, no. No
gluten, no meat, no meat.

We are almonds.

You want almonds?

Really failed on the meat then, huh?

Please fail. Failed on the meat. I will
eat peanuts.

All your beautiful meat will get eaten.
I'm starving.

It's totally, hey, it's great. Thank
you. Is there a bathroom like you used

before? Yeah, oh, it's just that.

Yeah, thank you. It's lovely.

Great. Peanut.

What do you want to eat? Whatever you
want, I can get it. I can order it. I

get here so fast.

Five minutes. They come, they come on a
bike, anything, any cuisine you like.

What do you like?

It's good.

I don't know anything.

Yeah, it's good.

But I don't understand how you put all
of this together so quickly.

I mean, we only film this morning
because it's like magic.

This morning?

Really? Or I think yesterday morning.
This morning.

This morning. Not yesterday.

Last morning.

This morning. Last morning. That's not
expression.

This morning.

Not today.

The days, they, you know how they. They
kind of blur into one another. Yeah.

This morning. Yeah. Are you cold? Mm
-hmm. What are you doing? What are you

doing? Am I okay?

It

could

be the beginning of perimenopause. What?

Perimenopause?

Challenging, horrible time. Holy shit.
More than 10 years.

Great.

Makes me so angry how so many people
still today talk about hot flashes as

only problem. I know. I mean, this is a
serious, huge neuroendocrine change that

affects everything.

Memory, cardiovascular health,
metabolism. And we're expected just to

it. Just deal with it.

depression, anxiety, brain fog,
insomnia.

Bootswings? Is that one of them?

Yeah, yeah. Resentment towards your
spouse, overspending on home goods and

cheeses, abundance of charcuterie.

I knew you were going to make a joke
about it. I am. I'm making a joke about

Let me explain it to you in a different
way.

Okay.

What if your testicles cripple up?

and died, and your empty ball sack
flopped around in the breeze for 30

years or so, how would you like that?

I wouldn't like that.

You will. No.

So don't joke about it. Okay, copy that.
I won't. I get it. I'm sorry.

You a doctor or something like that?

A psychotherapist? Yeah.

And a sexologist.

Oh. Sex all of us. And I also care about
women.

I care about women.

That's going to be bad.

You the piano player?

No one plays that, actually.

Nope.

Joe's in a band.

We know you, and we just don't know we
know you. No, definitely not.

I might.

I don't think so.

Remember Beyond Sloth? Yeah, Beyond
Sloth. I think they had a song, One

which was very big. One Girl, yeah. It
was really big in 2008. Yeah, for one

week. In 2008.

2008. Yeah.

Were you a girl?

I was. I was. Still is. Technically
spelled Cam. Yeah.

I was. Girl.

Oh, that's kind of me. Honestly.

Indeed, right. It's like, it's not a,
it's a dead job. No.

But I mean, you know, can we find it on
Spotify?

Do you ever play live?

Yeah,

he kind of missed that window by a few
decades, unfortunately.

He actually teaches music now.

Yeah. Where?

East Bay.

Like Berklee?

No, East Bay Music. It's a small
conservatory.

Your music professor.

That's really cool.

I'm sorry, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Oh,

come on.

What is going on here?

It's Ruck.

Where'd you get it? He...

flea market you know you didn't i did

Reed. Rug.

Hmm.

You didn't pay a fortune for this. I did
not. You swear.

It's a rug. Wow. You have a gift. I
mean, that's like, wow.

I got my clothes and just lie naked on
it. Do it.

Can you imagine? It's really like,
really kind of

incredible.

good energy wow really good energy yeah
he did our entire

apartment it's so beautiful you have to
come over and we really mean it unlike

you jim your design or something what oh
thank you no No, he's a fireman.

Firefighter, we call you a firefighter.
You're a firefighter? You're not a

firefighter. You weren't a firefighter.
Yeah, he was fire captain.

You were a fire captain. Captain Hawk?

Captain Hawk.

No, you weren't. You're not Captain
Hawk. That's bullshit.

Why? You don't seem like a firefighter.
What does a firefighter seem like?

They're brawnier. They're brawnier.

They have mustaches.

They're brawnier.

He's brawny. Fuerte.

Fuerte. More Fuerte. More Fuerte. He's
very Fuerte. He's pretty Fuerte.

More Fuerte. I don't know if he's
fireman Fuerte.

More Fuerte in the beginning, but I was,
you know, I got to my pension. I just

decided I'd had enough and kind of gave
up my hose for the man job and then

I retired.

started pursuing my other interests and
new adventures now you're

a

masseuse now that's cool

you're gonna work on the four seasons no
no rolfing's uh it's a much deeper

modality

It's challenging for both parties,
really.

But, yeah, it's been healing.

I'm almost certified. You want to jump
on my table, Joe?

Never in a million years.

I really love you, Joe.

What do you love about me, Hawk?

I like how honest you are about what
you're feeling.

Well. In the pursuit of honesty.

Would you like to see more? There's so
much more. Great.

Yeah, I'm actually going to smoke a
joint. I've seen the place.

No.

Can I come with you?

Really? Yeah, can I?

Sure, totally.

You going to go up to the roof?

I thought I'd just maybe go to my office
and smoke in there, right? That's cool,

right? Unless you have a problem with
that. Oh, yeah, yeah. Right?

Cool. Yeah.

Cool. Cool, right? Yeah. Cool. Yeah.

Do you want to open a window?

Do you know?

Yeah, sure. Great.

A lot of stuff in here.

What do you got other than this?

You spend a lot of time here.

I do. You can tell.

Do you think I go?

Yeah, I know.

I don't know. I'm usually alone in here.

There you go.

There you go.

Chaos.

Biggest sign of creativity.

Really? Good.

Great. It means you're focused on more
important things.

Oh, you know, that's how I like to think
of it. That's right.

I actually did all of this grouting
myself, which I love. I find it

Joe thinks I'm insane.

And then the floor, I mean, I'm sure
this is something you might have picked

No?

Original ceramic penny tile. Wow.

Anyway, that was sort of similar to what
was there before, but that was kind of

what I was going for with the whole
theme was renovation without change,

think... I succeeded in, you know, just
to keep it original, but with a new

surface.

Admittedly, I know a lot less about tile
than I've learned about rugs.

And a lot of the bathrooms that I've
seen have been on fire. So my

with them was fleeting. But I'd have
just said this was an immaculately

preserved vintage bathroom.

Wow.

That's what I was going for.

Full name. Oh,

and Facebook marketplace.

Come on.

The jamon is not jamon. That's not
jamon. It's prosciutto. It's prosciutto.

It doesn't look like jamon. It looks
like prosciutto. But I didn't want to

anything. No, yeah, don't. You told her
that wasn't jamon. You were committing

suicide.

She can't take it. She could not take
that.

More?

you good i i don't want more because
then if i have more than

one heat i i started counting objects
and i can't stop and imagine what i

be counting objects you could lose you
for the rest of your life

exactly what is this it's for a
xylophone exactly

you figure it out and do it ultimately

there's only one of those and you're
okay this is actually um this

is where the two apartments were were
combined and you can just see that

it's a little bit thicker there that
that's where they um where there used to

a separation a wall wall yeah that was
what what they call a wall the technical

term is We literally are just that much,
so. Oh, right, because you guys are.

Yeah. Yeah. So lucky. Huh.

Well, so this is Maggie's room, and I
actually did.

I did all the stenciling. It's probably
a little old for her. Now I'm probably

going to have to change it. No, it's
good.

Yeah.

Yeah. The carpeting is. Oh.

Oh. Wow.

Oh. God, that's so good.

Oh. Is that like Larry Fulton? Oh, no.
No, no, no. That is me.

You took it? Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

Wow. You worked as a photographer.

Yeah.

No, I went to art school like a million
years ago, and I got a degree I did

literally nothing with, and that is from
that.

I mean, I think, you know, your
creativity is all over in this place. I

you're really talented.

Thank you.

What about this?

Oh, that's, no, because that's the
bedroom.

Which is what's going on in here. Yeah.

No, I know. I didn't. I didn't. It's not
part of the tour.

A pretty important room.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

He's the fireman. Really? A fireman.
Yeah. How long have you been with him?

One year. A little less than one year.
One year. That's it.

Oh, well.

What about longer?

I was married before.

Really? Yeah.

Interesting. How did you meet the
fireman?

He was my patient.

He was your patient?

And then you started dating him?

Even?

No,

no,

different bed. Different mattress.

Parental fluids is a little bit too
intimate. He hates people knowing this.

I mean, we could never in a million
years afford... No shame in that.

Nobody in America can afford anything.

Yeah, but he really... It's a big...
That's crazy. It's not a gift.

I mean, just... Well, that's what I
think. Make it positive, you know? Like,

just be grateful and...

lean into it, make it your own, you
know? Yeah. So much pleasure in that.

Yeah.

Sure.

over when I met him.

How did you know that? Well, it was
over.

You don't have to ask him.

We stopped having sex, and we stopped
talking, and we were... We were trying

to... You know,

just a little bit on... Miracles.

Problems? Problems, yeah.

yeah and i i cannot live like that i'd
rather die i think you really just have

to listen to what is your heart pulling
you toward what vision of yourself

you know i mean you see yourself walking
on a cold beach alone

with the wind in your face and the
clarity of that or sitting on a

southern porch in the heat holding hands
and getting old

cafe with a stranger.

I'd go with Copenhagen.

I'd go the same way.

For the reason I knew that you would
feel that. It seems so clear now that

here looking at it.

You're so right.

It was right there the whole time.

God, thank you. You didn't need me. I
did, though. I did. I needed you.

No, you didn't understand. It's been
months of this. I've been tortured.

You just needed someone to tell you what
you already knew.

yeah don't you think they all didn't
save me if you call her a

blunt that man's name is hawk

Please, this is a torture. I cannot
laugh at his name. No, I'm sorry. Out

This is my boyfriend, Pelican.

Oh, I have this one.

I have this one.

Sorry, I don't know what to say.

ago

You know, you should replace this.

It's really dangerous.

This whole single pane stuff.

It'll shatter with even a little bit of
heat.

There's no risk of that. It's a very
cold apartment. There's not a lot of

You never know.

Tequila. Tequila, yes. Tequila.

Can you do something for me?

Probably, yeah.

Please be human.

Okay?

It's one. I love music. Please.

Let's play. One girl.

Play, play. Come on, this is your love
story right here.

No, no, no.

Don't put it on. Come on. Don't put it
on.

Just give it a taste.

We've got the artist and we've got the
girl.

Listen to music right now, because
there's something I've been wanting to

to you guys about. Oh, my God. You have
to try this.

Wow. Isn't that good?

Oh, my God. It's incredible. It can't be
objective.

No, it's unbelievable.

It's not good. It's not good.

It's so good. It melts in your mouth.
Yeah, it's so delicious.

Anyway, what I was about to say... Oh,
my God. It doesn't work.

The second bite is when it really just
settles in, just slides down.

Look, anyway... Oh, God. It's got sauce.
It's got sauce in it. I need to talk to

you guys about...

Right? Should we do shots?

I think we should have a toast.

Sure. Yes, I think shots for everybody.

Thank you.

Yeah, anyway, the noise has been a thing
that I think we've all been wanting to

talk about. And we want to apologize for
it, because it's been loud, and it took

longer. It took longer than we thought,
and you guys have been so kind, and we

just wanted to say thank you and sorry.

You're so nice. I mean, look, we're all
neighbors, and we really... Salud.

And thank you.

We're just so happy that you invited us
and grateful.

And actually, we also have something we
wanted to talk to you about.

You also want to talk to us? That's a
funny comment. About what? About what?

No, no, it's nothing bad. Nothing bad. I
think something's wrong.

Joe's mine.

No, you want to go first. No, no, no.

You guys have something.

Why don't I go first? No, you first.

You are the guests.

And you should go first. You guys go,
and then I'll go right after.

All right, well, um, we wanted to
apologize.

Yes? You want to apologize? Yeah.

Yeah, for what? We feel...

We may have bothered you. Bothered us?
More than one occasion, actually.

What? When?

At night, usually, and specifically, and
sometimes late in the night.

What?

When we have sex.

You?

We do have sex. Alone? Alone, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

And we really try to keep it down, but
sometimes...

It's been really impossible not to lose
control, even for a fireman.

We know we've been too loud, and we know
it was intrusive, and we're sorry, and

we're going to be more conscientious.

Oh, my God, no. You guys don't have
that. No, we haven't heard anything,

honestly. We haven't heard anything.

What? Right? We haven't heard anything.

Right?

I actually haven't heard anything, so no
need to apologize. I sleep like a log,

you know. Log.

Joe. What?

Joe.

No.

What? What?

Joe.

What? Don't lie.

I'm not lying. Joe, you've been telling
the truth all night. I love when you

tell the truth.

I love it.

Tell the truth. Tell the truth?

You're not telling the truth. I am
telling the truth.

Joe. What?

We know. It bothers you. It doesn't
bother me. It doesn't. Look, I hate to

your bubble. Maybe your sex isn't as
explosive as you think it is.

Joe, we know you knocked on our door
late at night.

Joe, you were pounding on our door.

No, I didn't.

We saw you.

We have a ring camera.

It's hidden.

Where? Our media.

What's a media?

They don't make that. It's a ring.

That's not a thing.

When did that come out?

Shoo -in.

Shoo -in. Do you want to see it? I don't
need to see it.

It's through the app to our phone, and,
you know, it flags it if it's an

aggression, and so it spooks us at
first, but look, there.

Maybe it's grainy footage and you think
it's me, but it's not me, okay?

It looks like me, but it's not.

Sorry,

Joe. He almost walked away, but... I
can't believe you. I can't believe you.

You were so polite that you stopped to
even listen. What are you

doing?

Oh, my God.

What are you doing? Are you trying to
win a contest or something? It's

incredibly inconsiderate. What are you
doing?

our daughter can hear it did you know
that she can hear it and i can tell

moving furniture up there and she knows
it's not true she's on to me we spend so

much time and energy talking about your
fucking orgasms you

talk about my orgasm yes but not in the
bad thing they're not bad they're great

i love them you love my orgasm i do I
love them. She really does. I do. I

love them. They're amazing.

She especially likes the growl. Are you
the growl, Pina? Because she loves the

growl. No, no. No, Pina's not a growler.

Oh, you're the growler?

No.

It's Vanessa.

Vanessa is the growler.

Vanessa?

Vanessa is... Wait, who's Vanessa?

A friend. Oh, yeah. Guy's a pretty big
guy.

and he does breathe heavily, that could
be what you're calling animalistic

noises?

Kai.

Who's Kai?

Another friend.

Oh, Kai's another friend.

Vanessa and Kai.

Vanessa lives in Nevada City with Kai.
Are you talking with us right now?

Is this what you're whispering to each
other?

No, we know you are upset, and you have
every right to be. We've had...

A few parties, things have gotten a
little more crazy.

Out of hand.

Parties, like cocktail parties.

Sex parties. Sex parties. Oh, no.

Sex parties.

Parties where people... I think that's
the common language.

Yeah. Definitely.

Honestly,

I can't think of another one.

And we apologize.

No, what? No, you don't have to.

That's not, no, we're not judging.

That's, you don't.

So where's that J?

That J?

The J you were, did you?

The J, I, it is in my office. You want
me to get, okay, I'll help you. Yeah,

don't you call and say that.

Yeah, no problem.

Hello. We good?

Yes.

Sex party. Yeah, the sex party. Really?

Paint a picture. Just close what you
will.

Whatever you want to know. Whatever you
want to tell them.

They started recently.

Oh, it's a recent development.

The noise uptick probably came because
once we started bringing people in, our

bedroom was too small, so we moved into
the living room. Overflow. I got it. A

lot of sounds kind of reverberate
through the apartment.

Right on the floor?

No, furniture, rugs.

That's why you're selling a rug.

I love a rug. I love it.

That's why you have a close relationship
with them. It would be pretty

uncomfortable. Yeah, you'd need a higher
pile, I imagine.

Okay, wait.

More. So, how does it work? Like, how do
you get invited? Or do you invite

people? Maybe there's no rules. Are
there rules?

And can anyone do anything to anyone?

Is it a free -for -all? For starters,
you've got to have consent.

Oh, yeah.

Right now.

And the connection has to be about joy,
about expansion.

It can never be about anger, about
revenge.

And patience.

Patience. Because, you know, some
people, they've got to find their own

point. Entry point.

How do you begin? Yeah. Take us back.

Yeah. What's day one of this like?

I've always been very curious.

For me, the pleasure I get from being
with a woman is different.

Yeah.

Me too. I and... Valerie.

Vanessa. Vanessa.

Were you guys friends, or did you meet
on an app? We're pretty negative on the

app. Really?

Interesting. Yeah,

it's impersonal. We're on a gamify.

We like to meet one person, like eye -to
-eye, like organic, real connection.

No, and there are conventions.

Oh, yes.

That's good, because you do. You need
rules.

You need some boundaries.

No, no. I mean, there are actual
conventions. Oh, wow.

Yes.

Conventions are very unique.

They also offer you a menu.

Oh, a menu.

A menu.

Enjoy it. That's good. I like it. It's
organized.

I like him anyway.

So when you engage with someone, you
already know what they want. They've

already said their preferences.

It's like below deck.

It's not speaking our language. We get
it now. I think maybe the best thing

about group sex is it forces.

total clarity of communication not the
best thing i wouldn't imagine probably

better yeah but the is what happens if
no one picks you oh yeah it's like gym

class you get chosen last you get a jerk
off alone in the corner or something i

think that'd be me no you would be
chosen yeah very nice but yeah how did

work no no one gets excluded you know i
mean there's obviously anyone's free to

watch

Jealousy. You don't get jealous? There's
no jealousy. I think jealousy is a

natural animalistic instinct, but you
have to replace it. We practice

compersion.

Compersion. Compersion.

Compersion.

Compersion is all about finding joy in
the joy of others.

Well, that would be great. And for me,
there's nothing better than watching my

partner in the hands of another.

Beautiful.

Super nice.

Wow. So healthy.

Very. Yes, I feel healthy just seeing
it.

You know, I love this. I love that it's
you and your friends. It's like the four

of you get together. Four is such a good
number.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sometimes.

No more than six.

Six. Six people? Six is a lot. Yeah.
That's why it's so loud up there.

We could still figure last weekend. That
doesn't count because it was. It was.

It was Vanessa's birthday.

Wow. Well, a birthday's a birthday.
Yeah, gotta celebrate the good things in

life, I guess, right? Yeah, and he
wanted to have ten people, so... Ten

Are you fucking kidding me? Holy shit.
Oh, my God.

Ten? We rented a house in Bolivia. It
was really nice. Very lovely, yeah.

Yeah, we were so energized.

People feel superhuman.

Honestly, it was... It wasn't for me the
best. It was the best experience that

we've had. It really was.

God. God bless you.

God bless you.

Great. Yeah.

He's just like, I'm imagining just like
a ball of youthful energy. She's just

like young.

Vanessa's very mature. She's old.

No, I wouldn't say she's a... That means
she's really old. I don't know.

Old and older.

Next time you're in there, count the
rings.

She's the most experienced person in the
hour.

An oldie but a goodie.

I've known so much from that woman.

She knows everything about the depths of
tantric sex.

Oh. Not dizzying. Wow.

Like a thing. She got me to hold on to
my cheek. Wow. She pushed us into anal.

Pushed you into anal?

Not for everybody, but... Of course you
don't like me.

I love him.

Yeah, who doesn't? Who doesn't love you?

Holidays, weekends.

But I love giving.

And I don't want to speak for him, but
he loves receiving me. Oh, I actually

really do. I get a lot of value out of
it.

Peggy, that's podcast. That's what that
is, right?

You wear a strap.

Oh, wow. Cool.

Vanessa, I can't help doing it.

Wow. But it's not really about
penetration.

I mean, it is a little.

No, it's not really about penetration.
It's about surrender.

Oh. Yeah, you just got to surrender that
body. Yeah, surrender that body.

Sex is not a thing you do. It's a place
you go.

We'll play hawk's butthole.

And the menu thing is cool because
anyone who has a fantasy can just order

The menu is amazing. You've got bondage.
You've got role -playing.

You've got. DP.

PP.

DP.

Double penetration, right? Is that not
on the menu? I don't do that. No, we

don't.

Porn tropes don't tend to be our group's
thing, but it is on the menu. You don't

want to be tropey.

It's on the menu. Yeah, I mean,
honestly.

It's on the menu.

I'm just saying. I don't have to judge
it. It's something that some people

have on there. I'm just saying.

Double penetration. Double penetration.
You were listing other stuff. Hey,

you're a fireman who likes to be pegged,
so.

Firefighter. Firefighter.

Loves to be pegged.

So fair point, fair point. Yes, I'm
just, yeah.

Honestly, like, this is not how I was
expecting this to go.

And I honestly feel like I'm much more
insight into what the fuck is going on

there. And I feel better about it
because it's not, you know, you're

military people's tax, I guess. It is
something exceptional happening above

heads. And thank you for telling us. And
I guess ultimately just...

you know maybe try to keep it down if
you have another big birthday or holiday

arbor day maybe go to bolivia this

is

so lovely i know we haven't hung out a
lot but you guys

Cool and progressive.

We are, yeah. I mean, I'm an
independent, technically.

Well, I don't like being an obvious. No,
we're more, they're a single parent.

No, I mean, they don't, we don't think
they are. Not at all. Yeah, exactly.

That's great. You guys, when you stop
fighting, you're really funny. We are.

Pretty chill.

I knew as a little kid, I didn't, I
wasn't sure. Oh, yeah? Getting to hang

now I, I don't know.

I really appreciate it. How did you know
she was so cool? What? Because I'm

cool. Oh, yeah. I'm cool.

Look at this. Look at this. Look at
this.

And the window thing. Gina knows I'm
cool. The what? The window thing?

They don't know. What window thing? No.
What window thing? What window thing are

you talking about?

Angela likes to be looked at naked in
the window sometimes.

You've seen her look naked?

No, not in person.

as he likes to walk around through the
window just through the window

it's a little what

is

he talking about

What is he talking about? Tell me what
he's talking about.

That might have happened once by
accident. I mean,

it happened more than once.

Word on the street is it was more than
once.

Why do I feel like everyone knows
something here except for me?

Are we going to come here and explain
what the fuck is going on, please?

You want me to explain?

I will explain myself.

The first time I was coming out of the
shower.

I was nude, and I was on my way to the
living room, and I looked up, and he saw

me, and I saw him seeing me, and then I
kept going. That is exactly what

happened. Will you shut the fuck up,
Holly? And in a good sense, after I

I walk past knowing that he might be
watching me. Yes, that's right.

Yes, it is. In fact, it is. It is like a
little ritual that I actually enjoy

because it makes me feel good.

Because I do, in fact, like to be looked
at naked, Joe. Is that okay? Is there a

problem? No, he's not okay. Why would
that be okay?

It's not like I'm looking at him in the
eyes. I've never made eye contact.

Never once. Who gives a fuck? What does
that have to do with anything?

That is a huge deal. No, it isn't. I
don't care about that at all.

Do you even care? You barely look at me.
I don't even understand why you're a

vet. So this is somehow my fault. That's
fucking crazy.

That's why you don't throw signs out the
window so the fire...

It's not fucked.

It's not. How is it not fucked? Please
enlighten me. How this isn't fucked? I

think what she's doing is great. It's
actually very helpful.

For whom?

Go ahead.

And for us, women.

You know how many women let go of their
erotic aspirations for good?

You know how difficult it is what he's
doing that he's trying to connect with

that part that he has lost. Good for
you. Thank you. Bravo. Great work. Very

important work. It is important. You got
a fucking Pulitzer for this shit. It is

important. Yeah?

Yes. What do we all want? Be honest.

To desire?

To be desired?

Maybe that's why you look at my boobs in
the elevator every time I see you. Oh,

really?

Joe looks at your boobs in the elevator.
I'm so sorry.

Really, Joe?

Wow. He thinks I don't notice, but I do.
It's like a little game we have, right?

A fucking hypocrite. I don't... I
don't... They're out there sometimes.

sorry. I don't mean to be rude. Let me
ask you something. When you look at my

boobs, do they seem... My boobs.

Do they seem out of reach to you?

No, it's a small elevator. I think...
What are you asking?

What are you asking?

Do you feel worthy of desiring them?

I've never thought about that for one
fucking second.

Do me a favor.

Please look at my books right now.

Look at them.

Look at them.

Look at them right now. Don't be rude.
Look, it's fine.

Don't be rude. Look at them. I don't
want to look at them. Why are you all

teaming up on me for God's sake?

Look, I'm not a sicko like you. I don't
need to look at another man's wife's

fucking tits and jerk off to, okay? I'm
normal. Who's doing that?

You're doing that. Who? You. When? Every
morning, apparently.

What? No.

I make love to Pina. I tell her about
Angela when I see her, and she likes it.

It's our thing. You guys talk about me
when you're...

Yes, my love, of course we do.

Really?

I see what's happening right now.

What? This whole thing was a setup.

You planned this whole fucking thing
with me now. What the fuck are you

about? Holy shit, the cheese, the
souffle, and the meat. You didn't tell

were coming. You were trying to have a
threesome with these people. You knew

there were fucking other people up
there, and you planned this whole thing.

This is...

Fucking crazy, even for you, Angela.

Fuck, Joe.

I'm just trying to have a nice bit of
fucking wine and cheese. What are you

talking about? You want to all fuck each
other. You've been plotting this whole

thing behind my back.

Stop laughing at me.

Joe. Joe. Joe.

What? I don't know what has been
happening. No? Then what?

No, of course not. Did we ever talk to
Angela about this? Never. Never. No.

I mean, it is sort of why we came down
here, but...

Joe,

Angela, we did come down here tonight to
invite you.

Invite us?

Both of you.

Including me?

Both of you means you.

Did you hear that too?

I did. Did you hear that? Sure did. You
heard that too?

We've been talking about this for quite
a while, actually.

Wow.

We feel a very strong connection.

We were getting signals, you know, in
the window, in the elevator.

They seemed to be very warm signals,
signals we liked.

Wow. That's what this has been about.

Okay? That is so nice. Thank you.

Say thank you, Joe. Thank you. Very
flattering.

I feel very complimented. We find you
very, very important.

Thank you.

We talk about you.

I know.

You talk about my orgasms.

A lot.

We really do.

Okay.

Before we came down, we said you guys
have a real quiet sex appeal.

So do you two, too, as well.

I wouldn't say it was quiet. No.

So, we want to propose to you that we
share a sexual experience together.

Okay?

You, you, her.

And me. Yes. Me too. Yes, also you.
Okay.

But it doesn't have to be tonight, okay?

Okay. No pressure.

Right. But it definitely could be. Could
be tonight.

I brought condoms.

Condoms?

Pre -9 -11.

Hypothetically speaking, like, if this
was something that we were to consider

proceeding with... Yeah, how would this
shake down?

Just like, what would the procedural
protocol be technically?

Procedural protocol?

Yeah.

No. It's what we all know. Yeah, just so
we know.

I mean, that's what we were talking
about. Right. Just like to recap really

quick, just specifically, how would...

this work.

We can all be together.

We can watch you.

Sometimes it has to add a neutral

element. Like a referee.

but tonight again tonight is on the
table okay

weeknights are tough because of maggie
weekends also tough i'm actually

for a half marathon

You've got to overthink everything.
You're overthinking this as well.

Isn't that brave enough to get into
schedule? You've literally offered me...

you saying I'm not proud to do this?
I'll fuck you guys right now.

I'm getting worried.

Why? Yeah, because... As horny as I am
right now, I

just...

We cannot do this from an angry place.

Oh, no, no. I'm not angry. I'm actually
not angry. This is me happy.

Maybe you just haven't seen it yet.

I don't think you guys are there. No,
we're there. We're there. I can't speak

for him, but I'm personally very good. I
feel very good about this. I'm there. I

would actually do this.

You would actually do this?

I would do this. We would do this. I
think we would do this.

If this connection is not.

Coming from a healthy place.

We are in need of expansion.

I think it would be very healthy for us
on a emotional level. That is a good

reason. Everyone's a little fun, feeling
good, feeling loose. It's a good

reason. Yeah, we haven't eaten too much.
We've been totally empty stomachs.

Yeah, Maggie's not home.

I'm sorry. I just mean it's like a good
time because it's a free time. It's a

good time for us. I'd say there's no
time.

Like a horror.

Yeah. A horror.

A horror.

I'm good with a horror. Yeah. A horror.
Definitely a horror.

Yeah.

I don't think this is the night for all
of us together.

Right? Fuck.

But we could try to connect separately.

Oh.

Yeah. All right.

Okay.

So. yes how would you feel about
spending a little bit of time alone how

would you feel about that then i would
also feel good about

that as a point of action i would be
willing to proceed with as well

Oh, hey, come on.

Okay, yeah.

We're going to separate, but still be
together, so I'm positive.

Mm -hmm, mm -hmm, mm -hmm.

So, your reservation.

I would maybe prefer not to have pegging
performed on my body.

I'm positive otherwise.

Okay. Your bedroom?

No. No.

Thank you, yes.

Feel very good about all this. Great,
very positive.

Oh, hello.

Okay.

Okay. Great.

Uh, Joe.

I don't know. I don't know.

No, no, no.

Thank you.

He looks in the mirror and not know how
safe you are. Oh, bleh.

No, no.

You can't do that.

Oh, God, no, I don't know. I'm a stupid
fucking cunt.

No, that's not my inner monologue.
That's just the way I speak.

It's the voice of my head. It's not, no,
it's good.

I'm good.

for this.

This is already amazing.

Thank you.

What you say.

You say.

You take me to the man. You

want me to do the thing that

makes penis scream like that?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, take off your clothes.

But that's what that is.

Don't do anything to me. Don't rope me.

Don't you dare rope me.

Don't do this.

Don't do it, man.

Please don't do this. Whatever you're
going to do, don't do it.

Oh God, don't do this.

Please don't do this.

Oh God.

I think I did it right.

So embarrassing.

We are so fucking embarrassing.

I can't believe it. Of course it's your
fucking back. Our entire life is about

your fucking back. Just constant fucking
complaining. What are you talking

about? Sorry, my back is an
inconvenience to you having a fucking

actually is, if you want to know. And
I'm not allowed to complain about it.

not allowed to say a fucking thing about
it, ever.

Well, you're talking about it right now,
so congratulations.

Oh, no. Is it bad? Yes, it's bad.

Look at me.

Do you know what?

I think it actually is very much about
my back because it's my back pain.

Hey,

what are you talking about? Why are you
doing this? We were dancing to Chante

30 seconds ago. We were having a nice
time. I was loose.

What the fuck are you smiling at?

I feel you, man.

feel me? Don't try to connect with me,
Hulk. Do not try to connect with me. I

don't want it. I've been where you are,
Joe.

You've been on your floor and your
underpants and your back?

Yeah, I've been on the floor angry and
in pain and all of it. Trust me. Oh my

God. I don't fucking want you to try to
in any way emotionally relate to me, you

fucking pervert. We're nothing alike.

We're nothing alike.

What is your name? What's your actual
name? Tell me your name. What is on your

driver's license?

Howard Wilton Kelly.

Howard.

Howard.

Your name is Howard.

This whole time.

It hasn't been Hawk.

It's been Little Howie.

Oh, my God.

That changes everything.

I didn't know we had a Howard in our
midst.

I would have been so much nicer to you.

Where did Hawk come from, Howie?

How'd you land on Hawk?

The name I gave myself.

A nickname you gave yourself.

Literally the lamest words that could
have come out of your mouth.

Oh, my God. Were you biking across the
playa, Burning Man? You saw a fucking

bird fly by or something?

No.

Something I...

After my wife died.

You asked.

Well, you should plead with that next
time, I guess.

She got cancer.

You don't have to answer his question. I
don't have to say anything.

It's a fair question, you know.

How does Howard get the hawk?

So, for Joe, after she died, I

was... doing some things that were
pretty suicidally stupid at work and i

gonna get someone else killed along with
me and do you know how like people say

your life flashes before your eyes i i
that happened to me but not my my life

was our life together it went by by me
in this high speed

film and i i kept seeing this

this woman that's like very gentle, very
shy, sweet girl who, like, she thought

I hung the moon.

And in the film, she hung over again.
She tried to

open up about her fantasy life to me,
to, you know,

share this kind of sensual, adventurous
side of herself.

So that I would enter into it with her.
And I didn't just, you know, resist

it.

I got really tight and judgmental and
insecure. And I

made her feel so bad about it that

somewhere in that movie she just stops
trying to connect with me at all.

her, you know, I, I kept down her, her

attempt to like live more boldly.

Somehow universe put me on this one
couch and

told me, you know, you got two choices,
go set yourself on fire for real,

or change who you are.

Make yourself available.

So I decided I really better change my
name if I was going to change my life.

And so I did.

Well, I'm sorry your wife passed away
and I'm glad you found a woman.

Who would peg you after you didn't let
your wife peg you? Oh, my God.

Sorry.

That's the moral of that story as far as
I'm concerned. Oh, my God.

My boyfriend shares that very difficult
and painful story with you and you're

making fun of him? I'm living a
difficult and painful story right now in

life. I really didn't expect this from
you.

This is fucking disappointing.

I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no. Really,
shut up. Stop being unrespectful to my

boyfriend. Disrespectful. Don't be
disrespectful.

She's saying.

She's saying?

What? No, no. I was just clarifying. I
think that is good what I was saying.

you going to interrupt?

Sorry. Correct my English right now? No,
no more. I was trying to clarify.

No! You are always interrupting me.
Always correcting me. Do you know how

your Spanish is?

And I never tell you, right? What do I
do? I help you. I've been telling you

night. This is not going to work. It's
not the night. They're not ready. Look

this fucking mess.

And you keep pushing.

You keep pushing because you're always
pushing.

And you know why? Because you don't
listen.

Just fucking listen.

Okay. Okay. Pina.

Pina. Pina.

I don't want to talk to you. Just shut
the fuck up. Pina. Pina. For once. Shut

the fuck up. Really. Really. For once.
Shut the fuck up. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Shut the fuck up.

terrible timing and you're right this is
the last time that will ever

happen i totally understand what you're
saying you said that before no i never

have i will never do it and i'm sorry
for yelling

at you and i'm i'm sorry if it was too
much no no no no don't be sorry i'm

joe i'm sorry i'm sorry don't apologize
don't anybody talk to me i was sorry

yeah you i'm sorry you don't you don't
have to be sorry

are sorry okay we're a disaster we
couldn't even pull off an orgy okay we

dead inside so i apologize for that oh
no don't worry about that you're

definitely not that you wanted to this
book it just wasn't the right name but

what i don't understand is how you can
even have sex with each other

Because you do have sex with each other,
right?

When was the last time you two had sex?

A year ago.

Sorry, I thought you didn't hear.

Did you say a year? A year? A year ago.

Oh my God, no wonder why you are so
awkward.

And horny. And weird.

Do you know why you don't like it?
Because of him.

It's your fault. What?

It's not my fault. Of course it's her
fault. We don't have sex, but she won't

have sex with me. That's why. She won't
have sex with you. Don't cry. It's

because I stopped crying because how
many times can I cry before I'm just

torturing myself?

It's humiliating. I'm being humiliated.
Am I not worth just a little bit more

effort than that? You may be crying a
little bit harder. What effort do I need

to put into having sex with a woman
who's supposed to want to have sex with

Why should that take so much effort?

You're supposed to be attracted to me.
You're my wife.

What are you talking about? Well, you
know what? You don't want to do

okay? So that's where I'm starting,
okay? It's not very attractive to be

someone who's just fucking miserable.

So because you're miserable, then I'm
miserable. You're miserable too, so

congratulations. I guess we're both
miserable. We're even, okay? You've

to be upset about.

Angela, would you fuck yourself?

What?

Would you have sex with yourself?

Would you?

Fuck yourself.

All I do is fuck myself.

I'm the only person who fucks me
currently, so yes.

You didn't remember a time when you were
not miserable.

What's the difference?

Yeah, I do.

How did you two meet?

i'll tell you um

i was on a

very bad date at this dive bar where joe
was playing with his

band and he was flirting with me the
entire show from the

stage was making me laugh and so i made
my date drop me off And I sprinted back

to the bar so I could see if I could
catch Joe. And I did, but I don't think

ever realized that I ran 11 blocks that
night. Did you know that?

I hear just a bizarrely smiling purple.

Maybe you've eaten some bad food.

And we had sex all the time. We actually
had great sex. It was great. It was

really fun.

We were best friends.

And then you just decided to be
miserable.

Do you actually not understand how I
feel at all? Do you not get it?

I'm a failure, Angela. I live in my
parents' apartment with millions

of kids at a bad school.

I don't give a fuck about it at all. And
nothing is going to change anytime

soon. So this is my life. So I'm
miserable.

Yes. Why can't you just let me be
miserable?

Why can't you just accept that I am not
happy?

And just let me be not happy.

I'm sorry that your band didn't work
out, Joe.

I'm really sorry. You still teach music
every single day. You get to live in a

beautiful home. You have a kid who...

fucking worships you you have a life
that i think many people would kill for

you've just decided to make the choice
to not get over your bullshit and to

be miserable you won't even fucking
touch the piano that you used to love

all have to tiptoe around you you're
just like a sad wounded puppy oh fuck

am the one who gave everything up you
did that There's one reason

that you're not doing what you are not
doing, and that is because you are not

doing it. You quit.

You gave up.

Can I ask you a question? For real. What
do you do all day?

Maggie goes to school. I go to work.

You go fucking insane in this apartment.
I don't know what the fuck you're

doing. You're buying fucking lamps and
pillows and shit.

And then you've got to just fucking
control everything.

aspect of my life when i get home at the
end of every fucking day it's it's it's

i what are you doing here what are you
fucking doing fuck me yeah fuck me fuck

you and i am not trying to control you i
am not controlling you don't let me do

anything you don't let me get a fucking
cat i don't like cats there you go

congratulations i wanted one fucking
thing do you see how you talk to each

do you see how you keep blaming each
other for your unhappiness

We have a dog.

horrible anxiety every day.

What's better, to have happy parents who
are separate or to have very miserable

parents that stay together for their
children?

I think we only get a few chances for
meaningful relationships in life.

Sometimes we can have a new relationship
with the same person.

But I think this relationship

We really just wanted to leave the
apartment.

Maybe fuck a little longer.

Sorry to leave.

Maybe next time.

Can I have my casual barbecue?

Yeah.

We have that place in Tahoe in August.
Maggie loves it up there. I don't know

what to do about that.

How's your

back?

I'm so tired.

Me too.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Should I sleep in my office, I guess?
