(straw slurping)

- Well, are you gonna say something

or are you just gonna sit there?

- I don't know what's happening.

- Just tell me what's going on!

- You told me to come here.

- Yeah, yeah, I did.

(door chiming)

- What the hell are you doing here, Gracie?

Hmm?

- Are you gonna save this relationship or not, Dougie?

'Cause right now, right now, it's all on you.

- I, I'm, I'm really confused.

I didn't know we needed saving.

- See, that's the problem.

- You've been steal from the register, Gracie.

Everybody knows it.

- (laughing) Oh, come on, Brick.

Do you honestly think I'm capable

of doing something like that?

- Yes, I, no, no.

Can, please, can you repeat that?

- Oh my God.

I asked you if you know how to kill a man, Douglass.

- Why do you think I would steal from you?

I'm, I'm your hardest worker.

Who else comes in here seven days a week?

- The camera's caught you, Gracie.

I don't know what you want me to say.

- Well, Brick, what I want you to say, buddy,

is that it's, it's a joke.

- You're joking, right?

You, you- - No.

- You can't be serious.

- Look, I just, I need someone more macho, okay?

I need someone more, more (grunting)

You know what I mean?

I need my man to have the, the balls and,

and the brawn to literally kill for me.

- Did you have a, a certain person in mind

or is this just a random act of violence?

- I'll pay you back, I promise.

- Oh, really?

- Really, I, I, if you let me keep my job, Brick,

I will pay you back double of what I owe you.

I promise.

I need money to make money.

- I, I, I'm sorry.

I am very confused on what's happening.

- I'm telling you right now what your problem is, Douglass.

Why I know for a fact

that you couldn't actually kill for me.

- I'm gonna open up to you.

You, you don't know how hard it is

to be a girl alone in this world.

And I'm just trying to live life, goddammit.

I'm just, I'm just trying to live my life.

- You are a parasite, Douglass.

You know that?

Okay, I have seen your antennas, and they are protruding.

And I cannot stop looking at them

because they just keep digging deep into me

- If you need money so bad,

why don't you just whore yourself out,

greedy fucking bitch?

- What did you just say to me, you fuck?

- Are you on drugs?

No, I'm not saying that to be mean.

I'm saying that because I'm genuinely concerned about you.

I care about you and I love you.

- Don't say that.

- I said why don't you find a job

that doesn't require any morals?

- I have morals!

- Obviously not!

- Get out.

- Amanda, come on.

- No, I'm serious. Get out.

- Amanda, please- - Go!

- Fuck you.

(upbeat music continues)

Fucking whore you out, Brick.

What kind of a name is Brick?

Sounds like fucking prick, stupid hair, stupid face,

stupid insults.

Fuck.

Whore me out.

Okay, man, okay.

(upbeat music continues)

Great idea, Brick.

(door clicking)

Hey!

- Hey.

(upbeat music continues)

- Let me see your cock.

- My wiener?

- Whatever you wanna call it, I don't care.

Just show me.

(Douglass sighing)

(door creaking)

(glasses clinking)

- Hmm.

(no audio)

(no audio)

I'm Douglass, by the way.

- Douglass.

That's a good name.

I'm Gracie.

- I like that name.

That's- - Really?

- Yeah, it's a good name too.

- Thank you. - Totally.

- My parents picked it.

- It's a good choice.

So, Gracie,

tell me, do you do this sort of thing a lot,

where you meet someone off the street

and then you bring 'em and you know, they...

- No, no, you're, you're special, Douglass.

- Oh, oh.

Must be lucky too.

- Yeah.

You could say that.

- Oh. - Water.

- Thanks.

(Douglass gulping)

- Thirsty?

- Mmm.

Ah.

I, I hope I did all right.

- With what?

- With the sex.

(Gracie laughing)

- You were more than all right.

So tell me about yourself.

How did you end up on that corner?

Can we do a different one?

- What?

- Different question.

Can we do a different question?

- Uh, yeah.

I've got a couple.

What's your family like?

Are you in college?

- Enough about me.

What about you?

What's going on?

- What did you mean enough about you?

I didn't get anything from that.

- Yeah, that's totally okay, that's great.

What about you? What's going on?

- I'm not saying.

I didn't get an answer, so, so you don't either.

Okay, fine, I'll go.

Stop looking at me like that.

It's weird.

Okay, well for starters,

I just got fired from my job,

so that's where I was before I saw you.

- Shit, well, I'm sorry.

- That's, it's fine.

I mean, I ended up getting a good bonus from it

for the last couple months, so that's good.

- Do you know why you were fired or-

- No.

No, not at, not at all.

It was like really weird.

- Well, it's their loss.

- Yeah, yeah, no, I was like a great asset

to the team they said.

- Yeah, totally.

And you can find-

- I just really needed the money, you know?

And my boss, my boss, oh my God.

He was so rude about it.

Guess what he said to me?

He told me that I should become a porn star.

- He fired you and then told you to become a porn star?

- Yeah, that's exactly what he said.

It's weird, right?

- Yeah, definitely weird.

I'd say that's really odd to fire someone

and then tell them to become a porn star.

- I could never do it though.

I'm way too shy for that stuff. (laughing)

- What?

Gracie.

No, you'd be, you'd be an amazing porn person.

I mean, you have, yeah, yeah.

You have those great boobs that just curve,

they curve, they curve really nice.

- Stop it.

- They're really nice.

- Stop, you're too kind.

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

Maybe I would, maybe I would consider it

if I wasn't so camera shy.

(Gracie laughing)

- What?

- It's nothing.

- You gotta tell me now.

What's so funny?

- No, it's like, no, it's like really stupid, it's bad.

- Come on, tell me.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

So, so hear me out.

Also, I just thought of this,

so it's not like really a fully formed idea yet.

(Gracie sighing)

(soft music)

You could be a star, Douglass.

I, okay, I know this sounds crazy since we just met and all,

but God, I dunno.

I just have this feeling like,

like this really special feeling,

and again, I, I haven't thought this out at all,

but you, you know, when you feel like in the mood and,

and you want to, you wanna buy a dirty video,

but you feel too embarrassed to go to the video store.

- Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's the worst,

- [Gracie] Right?

The worst.

- Hate it. (exhaling)

- Well, and again, I, I know this, I know this sounds insane

and I really haven't thought about this much,

but we make the porn,

we make you the star,

and then instead of having to buy from a store,

we send it directly to the buyers.

It would, it would be like completely anonymous.

We, we could, we could even have them write letters

back and forth to you.

It would be like an entirely personalized experience.

- Would it really be anonymous

if we had their addresses?

- You know, it's better than having another person

look you in the eyes

while you check out "Ball-busting Boys 4," so...

So, so what do you say?

Do you want, do you wanna give this a try?

- I don't know, Gracie.

I, I'd love to work with you, but this just seems-

- What are you, Douglass?

Like 20?

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26-

- 20. - You're 20.

- Yeah. - So you're 20?

- Mm-hmm. - You're 20?

- Mm-hmm. - You're, you're 20?

- Yeah.

- You are 20 years old, Douglass.

- Yeah.

- Don't, don't you wanna matter?

Don't you wanna make some sort of impact before you go, die?

And, and what better time to do it than while you're young

and you don't have one foot in the grave already?

I mean, I'm 21 and I'm not going to college

'cause I can't afford it.

But I'm still trying my absolute hardest to succeed because,

'cause I, I wanna matter.

And this, Douglass, this matters,

us meeting each other, that wasn't,

that wasn't chance.

That was, it was fate.

That was destiny, that was kismet.

I mean, think, think of everything

that we could accomplish together,

the success that we could find.

It matters that it matters.

- You really think it's faith?

Like we're really meant to be together?

- Yes.

Yes, I do, yes, it was fate.

- And you think this would work?

Like we could make some real money?

- With you as the star, there's no doubt about it.

- Okay.

I'll give it a try.

- Oh, you're, oh my God, this is amazing.

You're amazing.

- (laughing) You're really good at this Gracie.

- What?

- Coming up with ideas.

I mean, you really just thought

of all of this right now?

That's- - I know.

Once those gears start turning, there's no going back.

- So, how do we get started?

- Easy, we start right now.

I have the camera and the tripod out in the other room.

- Oh, you, you, like now?

- Yeah, yeah, already.

It's already there, all of it.

- How'd you know I'd say yes?

(lips smacking)

- Because I know you.

You ready?

- Okay.

(camera shutter clicking) (soft music)

- All righty.

You can just take a seat right there

on the ground. - On the, here?

- Yeah, like right there. - Oh, okay.

- Right-

- Does this work?

Here?

Scoot left, right?

- That's good.

- Okay, cool.

- That's perfect.

- Uh, so what exactly are we starting with?

- So, so we'll just start with the solo masturbation piece.

It's classic.

- Uh huh.

Should we do a practice round first?

- Have you ever jerked off before?

- Yeah, like-

- Just like that.

Amazing.

It'll be perfect.

It'll be great.

Solid.

Yeah.

- Do you want me to look directly into the lens

or right above it?

I could also, I could look at you.

I could maybe alternate as well here.

Lens, above, you, lens, above, you,

lens, above, you, lens-

- Just look at me. There's no need to alternate.

- All right, yeah.

I can moan, maybe.

Do you want me to like moan?

- You could moan.

I would, I would like that.

- Yeah. I'll moan.

Is this a bad idea?

Like, are people gonna make fun of me?

- Oh, what?

No, no, Douglass.

This is your moment. You're a natural star.

People are gonna be obsessed.

- You sure?

- Yes.

Yes, although I, I did just realize

you're missing something.

- What, what is it?

- Well, every star needs a name.

So (clearing throat) what about Dougie-Style?

Dougie, like Doug, like dog.

- [Douglass] Mm-hmm.

I, I get it. - Good.

- Dougie-Style.

I like that.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Perfect.

All right, okay, well, camera's all ready to go.

So I will just call action,

then you can just do-

- That's when I, I start, touch myself.

- Oh yeah.

You can touch yourself however you want.

- Okay.

- And probably remove your clothes.

- Smart.

- I would if I were you.

- All right, like...

- I won't-

- You, you can look. - No, that's fine.

(camera whirring)

All right.

This is, this is simple.

Just something to get you nice

and comfortable on the camera.

All right, okay.

- Ready? - Uh huh.

- And action.

(camera whirring)

- [Douglass] Oh yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, get more into it.

This isn't supposed to be something that's realistic.

(Douglass moaning)

Perfect. That's perfect.

Okay, turn your side a little bit.

(Douglass blowing)

(balloons rubbing)

(upbeat dance music)

(upbeat dance music continues)

(balloons rubbing)

(upbeat dance music)

- And cut.

(camera whirring)

- Can we, uh, go get some dinner?

- Dinner sounds like a great idea,

but I need your help responding to these letters first.

- Uh, you said you'd handle that and I'd just be the model.

- Yeah, but I'm, I'm trying to add some personality

to Dougie-Style.

- Okay. - Look at this guy.

- Oh, he's actually hot.

- You think so?

- Yeah.

Look at him.

- Okay. (clearing throat)

"Dear Dougie-Style.

I loved the new solo tape you made.

- Oh, that's nice.

- [Gracie] "Can you try sitting on a cake?"

- No, that's odd.

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

It's easy enough to say yes to that.

It's just sitting on a cake.

It's just, how do we make it sound

like you want to do that?

- Mm-hmm.

Okay, I suppose I could say,

"Hey there, there's nothing I'd love more

than to sit on a cake."

- Right.

- "It makes me hard and horny."

- I don't know.

That sounds kinda weird.

Let's try another one.

- Yep.

- "Hi Dougie-Style.

I've been rewatching all the tapes you've sent me so far.

I like to imagine you're here with me when I do.

Being able to write to you like this

makes me feel close to you.

It's like I know you, I really feel like I know you.

I imagine taking your head

and pressing it hard against my wall as I fuck you.

I wish I could just keep you with me for days

as my personal fuck toy.

I want to break you.

Would you even be able to say no?

I'm just jerking your jeans, but I do wish I could meet you.

Keep up the good work.

From Bill."

(soft ambient music)

(static hissing)

(soft ambient music continues)

(laughing) That's weird.

What do we have to say to that?

It's just so weird.

- I don't like that, Gracie.

I, I don't like that at all.

- [Gracie] Wait a minute.

Are you being serious?

- Yes.

I'm being serious, Gracie.

That guy sounded like a lunatic.

I don't want him watching me anymore.

- Okay, okay, just, just calm down.

It's fine.

- What if he finds out where I live?

I, I don't know what he'd do to me if he found me.

- He's not gonna find out where you live.

I don't even know where you live.

If he finds you anywhere, it's gonna be here.

- How is that supposed to help?

- Wait, why don't I know where you live?

- 'Cause it doesn't matter.

- I feel like at this point I should probably-

- Gracie, I'm freaking out right now.

- Okay, just relax.

Everything's fine.

Okay?

- I don't wanna sell to him anymore.

- Douglass, he's one of our top buyers.

If we, if we let him go just because of some little letter-

- Then, then what?

We still have plenty of other buyers.

We'll be fine without him.

- You're not thinking straight.

If we start cutting clients off-

- Can we please just go get dinner, please?

(engine rumbling)

(door clicking)

(doors clicking)

(door clicking)

(door chiming)

(straw slurping)

(distant car horn honking)

(straw slurping)

This isn't exactly what I had in mind.

- What'd you say?

- I just thought we'd go out

and do, you know, actual like couple things, you know?

- What do you mean?

We're a couple and we got a couple things.

- Just, I don't know.

- I don't know what you mean.

- Just, it doesn't matter, honestly.

- (sighing) "It doesn't matter, honestly."

Come on.

You know you can't just say stuff like that

and then not talk about it.

- I've been putting a lot into this, you know,

the business side of things, but also our relationship and-

- Okay, so you're, you're saying I'm not putting anything

into our relationship?

- No, no.

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm just, I'm, I'm trying to explain how I feel.

- Okay, so then explain.

- Well, we're dating, right?

But we're also business partners

and sometimes I'm not, not all the time, but sometimes

I feel like you're putting the business ahead of me.

And I, I am not exactly sure where I'm going

with the rest of this, but basically I want you to,

or us to put more into the relationship part of things.

(distant siren wailing)

(Gracie sobbing)

- I'm such a horrible person.

- Uh, don't, uh...

- No, no, I'm so sorry.

You didn't deserve anything.

I've been such a cunt.

- No, you are, you're not a cunt.

You're not a cunt.

- And the worst part about all of this-

- No, no, no.

- Is that- - I, I, I'm so, so sorry.

No, no. I shouldn't, I shouldn't have brought it up.

No, I promise you, you are so amazing.

You're perfect.

Come on, come on.

You drove me all the way here and you got me this Big Glug.

- I can't even drive.

It was just a stupid Big Glug.

- It is not a stupid Big Glug.

I love Big Glug.

- You mean that?

You love Big Glug?

- Yes.

Yes, of course I do, baby.

I love Big Glug.

I'm just saying, I think we can both put a little

extra effort into the relationship side of things.

I'm only saying that 'cause I care about you so much.

- Thank you for putting up with me.

I'm sorry I'm such a mess.

- You are not a mess.

And I totally understand why you'd be upset up.

- I just want go home and cuddle.

- Well, let's go home and cuddle.

I'm sorry for making you cry.

- It's all good, you're fine.

Why is this shit out already?

It's not even Christmas yet.

(upbeat holiday music)

(upbeat holiday music continues)

(glasses clinking)

(glass thudding)

- Ah.

(Gracie clearing throat)

- Okay.

- All right.

- Let's see this pickle.

(Douglass laughing)

- You haven't even had dinner yet.

- I don't care.

I wanna see the pickle.

- What if I told you it's already here?

- No. - Yes.

- No. - Yes.

And if you can find said pickle within 60 seconds,

you get to open up one present early.

- Oh, I'm finding this fucking pickle.

- 50 seconds left.

Whoa, easy, easy.

- Where is this fucking pickle?

What happens if I don't find the pickle?

- Then I get to open up one present early.

And 30 seconds remaining.

- [Gracie] You're going too fast.

- 10, nine, eight.

(Gracie screaming)

five, four, three, two, one.

(upbeat holiday music continues)

- It's not even real.

- I wouldn't put a real pickle in there.

That would make it way too easy.

- What, what even is this, this pickle?

- Just a game my family and I used to play.

- Mm.

Well I think it's unfair.

- Mm.

Oh yeah?

- Yeah, yeah.

That was, it was a stupid game.

And I think I'm gonna go now.

- Well, this is your place, so...

- Yes! - Yes.

- Yes.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Hear me out, hear me out.

Just one more.

We only have one present left.

- Oops.

- (retching) Oops.

- (laughing) Disgusting.

(wrapping paper rustling)

(wrapping paper rustling)

Douglass.

Douglass, oh my God.

(Gracie sighing)

- You like it?

- I love it.

Our tapes are gonna be twice as good now.

- Um, Gracie.

- Um, Douglass.

- You're awesome.

- I know.

(both laughing)

- Sorry, I just had to finish that.

- (mumbling) I'm you, Gracie.

- What?

You're me?

- No, no, that...

I love you, Gracie.

That is a very scary thing to say,

but I, I mean it,

I'm sorry if this is a lot right now,

but I wouldn't say this if I didn't mean it.

This, us is something

I see long term, like,

like really long term.

(camera thudding)

- I love you.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Under one condition though.

- What, what, what condition?

- Yeah, there's a condition.

- Wait, no, I, I thought,

I thought love was supposed to be unconditional.

- Okay, okay, okay, well,

it's not, it's not a real condition, I guess,

but just, there's something I need to know.

- I'll tell you anything.

- Where do you live, Douglass?

- I live in a fire station.

Yeah, yeah, I was dropped there as a baby

and left with a note saying "from Rosemary"

and from then on I became-

- You're Rosemary's baby?

- Yeah.

- You can tell me.

I'm not not gonna come murder you.

(Gracie imitating screeching violin strings)

- Why do you wanna know so bad?

- You could live in a McDonald's Playplace for all I care.

It doesn't matter.

- Okay, I think it would be a little weird if I lived

in a McDonald's Playplace, huh?

- Please.

- I live with my parents.

So- - That's it?

There's nothing wrong with living with your parents.

If anything, I'm jealous.

You guys must be close.

(bottle thudding)

Parents can be shit.

- (sighing) That's the truth.

(glasses clinking)

- Also, I want this to be long term too.

I mean, we've been doing so well with our tapes.

I can't imagine stopping that anytime soon.

- That's it?

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Did you say something?

- No, I, I am, I'm just feeling a little tipsy.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Oh, grab us another bottle.

(door creaking)

(soft ambient music)

(no audio)

(bird whooping)

(bird whooping)

- Michael Jackson!

(Gracie laughing)

- Have you been awake this whole time?

- Only enough to see you staring at me.

(Douglass sighing)

Through my slits.

- (laughing) You really got me.

- No, Michael Jackson got you.

Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you feeling?

- Bit tired from the last shoot,

but otherwise feeling pretty good.

- Good.

Good.

I have a surprise for you today. (laughing)

- Oh yeah?

What is it?

- Well, it wouldn't be a surprise then.

- I suppose not.

Why don't you give me a hint?

- Um, no, I think I'm good.

I think we're gonna have pancakes first.

- That's not the surprise, right?

(door clicking)

Gracie?

(distant traffic humming)

(food sizzling)

Hmm.

Oh yeah, these pancakes are awesome.

- (laughing) Thank you.

I put cinnamon in it this time.

- It's good.

Do we have to film anything today?

- Nope, you're off the hook.

We just have one business related thing to do later.

- Is that the surprise?

- [Gracie] Yes, it is.

- So is it really a surprise or is it just a business thing?

- Well, I guess it's mostly a work thing,

but it is surprising

how much money we're gonna make from it.

- Can you just tell me?

- Ugh, fine.

You have your first fan meetup.

- A meetup?

- Yeah, I've been trying to set one up for a while now.

And I, I know it sounds scary,

but it shouldn't take too long

and I'll be right next to you the whole time.

- Are you sure this is safe?

I mean, why are you just telling me about this now?

- Well, I, I wasn't sure if the guy would flake

and he just confirmed this morning.

- Okay, but I never said I wanted to do it.

- I thought that you would be more excited about this.

I mean, that's why I made it a surprise for you.

- I'm not sure, Gracie.

- Come on.

It's not gonna be anything that you haven't done already.

There's a lot of money in this one.

This can really change things for us.

- How much?

(motor whirring) (birds chirping)

That's insane, Gracie.

- (sighing) I know, right?

How can we pass that up?

- Yeah, the money sounds great,

but the idea of meeting up

with a fan who's a complete stranger to me,

it just doesn't feel right.

I mean, what am I even gonna do there?

I don't-

- Well, like I said, it's nothing

that you haven't already done.

- Yeah, but what, what's that supposed to mean?

What am I gonna be- - Please?

I mean, just give this a try.

And it's not just about

what the money can do for us, Douglass.

If this works out, then we could build up Dougie-Style

to be a star that's not only for the fans,

but that's available to the fans.

This could be what launches us into the next phase.

- Okay. We'll give it a shot,

but if I don't like how it's going, then I'm,

I'm not gonna wanna do another one.

Okay?

- It's fine with me.

You know why?

Because it's gonna go great.

It's not till later anyway,

so let's just relax and spend some time together.

Sound good?

- Yeah.

(soft upbeat music)

(soft upbeat music continues)

(soft upbeat music continues)

(engine rumbling)

- Whew.

All right, made it.

Don't be scared.

I'm gonna be right here the whole time.

- Here, as in, like, in the car?

Are you not going inside with me?

- You don't want me to watch you fuck him, do you?

- What?

- I, I mean, I don't mind,

but I'm pretty sure the dude's not gonna want me to watch.

I mean, maybe other people will in the future,

but I just haven't checked with him.

- I can't do this, Gracie.

I can't, I just, I can't do this one.

- You've done way more humiliating things for money.

I don't see how this one's any different.

I mean, it's not like the guy's fucking you.

You're just fucking him.

- This is...

I can't, Gracie.

I'm, I'm really sorry, but no.

- This is why I didn't tell you.

I knew that you would act like this.

- I think it's perfectly normal for me

not to be comfortable with this.

- Guess I just thought you were more dedicated

to the business.

- It doesn't bother you,

having your boyfriend go fuck a stranger?

- [Gracie] I'm mature enough

to separate what's work and what's not, Douglass.

- if you had sex with another guy for money, I'd be upset.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.

- I don't feel comfortable with this at all.

I've done a lot, but I don't think I can do this one.

It just doesn't feel right.

I'm sorry.

- You're right.

You have done a lot,

and it's all on tape,

all of it.

- What do you mean-

- But most importantly, I believe in you, Douglass.

I know you can do this.

There's nobody else that can.

You're a star.

You're Dougie-Style.

You should be thankful.

You're building something that matters.

You're doing something that matters.

It's all anyone could ever ask.

- Why do you love me?

- What?

- Why do you love me?

I know why I love you, but can you say the same?

Being around you, hearing your laugh,

seeing how smart you are,

but I'm not sure about you.

You make me feel needed, but what does that even say?

If you love me, if you really have any kind of love for me,

I want you to say it now.

If you say it now and you mean it, I'll do this for you.

But I need you to really mean it,

even if it's not for the right reasons.

If you say it and you mean it, I'm gonna keep it.

I'm gonna keep it.

I'm gonna keep it.

I just need you to mean it.

(dramatic music)

- I love you, Douglass.

You give me so much.

- If I do this for you, you'll love me even more?

- Absolutely.

This isn't for me, Douglass.

This is for us.

Douglass.

I'm really proud of you for today.

I mean it.

I should have told you what the fan meetup was.

It was, it was messed up and I'm sorry.

Are you mad at me?

- No.

- You seem like you're mad at me.

- I'm not.

- Well, it seems like something's wrong.

- I'm just adjusting.

- Adjusting to what?

- Today, I guess,

how things are gonna be.

- How are things gonna be, Douglass?

- We're both getting what we want out of this.

I just have to get used to it.

- Get used to what?

I don't, I don't know what you're talking about.

- Being honest, it's not a bad thing.

We both just know what we're getting outta of this now.

- Okay.

(no audio)

(no audio)

- Just don't ever threaten to blackmail me again.

I love you and I'll be a good business partner,

but just don't ever do that, please.

It was scary.

- Didn't blackmail you, Douglass.

- You brought up how you have me on tape.

- Well, you know that you're on film

and that our customers are watching what you're doing, so-

- I know that, Gracie,

but it's the way you said it,

made me feel like you were gonna show it

to my family or something.

- I, I don't even know your family.

Honestly sometimes it feels like I don't,

I don't know anything about you, Douglass.

You know what your job is and you know what that entails,

so I don't, I don't know what you're so upset about.

This doesn't make any sense.

- You know why you said it like that.

It was a threat, Gracie.

- You're not making any sense at all.

- Can you just let me go to sleep, please?

Or do you not want me to have enough energy

to film tomorrow?

- Quit it.

- I'm just being realistic.

Do you not want me to have a good performance?

Wouldn't that risk how many sales we get?

Wouldn't that do damage to our revenue stream?

You wouldn't want that.

- Fuck off, Douglass.

- What?

What?

I just think we have to-

- So, so I'm the bad guy now?

I'm the bad guy for running this

and trying to make our business work.

Is that it?

- That's fine.

- Do you see all of this shit?

Nobody gave this to me.

I, this was all me.

I'm not some fucking bum, Douglass.

You know, I'm starting to think

you must have been a spoiled brat.

What, did mommy and daddy not get you the new Nintendo

when you were a kid?

You may not wanna amount to anything in life,

but I have seen where that gets you When I'm not doing that.

I'm not gonna live my whole fucking life

wanting to die the whole time.

And, and you should be thankful

that you don't have to worry about that.

You should be thanking me every fucking second

you can because I'm making you a star

and that shit lives on.

You, you wanna matter?

You wanna make a name for yourself?

You wanna feel important? Well, now you are.

And it's because of me.

Just fucking ungrateful.

(Gracie sighing)

Oh my God, Dougie, what's up?

I thought that was you.

- Hey, Amanda.

- Why are you out here in the rain?

- I like the rain.

- Listen, Dougie,

I'm actually really glad I ran into you today.

- Can you not call me that, please?

- Right, right, sorry.

Douglass.

I wanted to say I feel really bad,

like awful really about the way things ended between us.

I mean, I wasn't being fair to you at all

and I just,

I was just going through my own stuff, you know?

- Okay.

- No, it's true.

I mean, I dunno if you could tell,

but I was pretty coked out.

- Really?

- Okay, that was unnecessary.

- See ya.

- I hope you're happy.

You know, things are actually better.

- I have everything I could ever want.

- Sure you do.

- There's something I need to ask you about.

- Yeah?

- You called me a parasite.

What'd you mean by that?

Or was that just the coke talking?

- Uh, it was, it was just the coke.

Yeah.

Sorry.

- Yeah.

That's what I thought.

- [Olive] I'll give you a smack, all right.

All right, there.

- [Popeye] Hey, we gotta save Olive Oyl.

Come on, Wimpy.

Hurry up before it's too late.

Enter the breach.

What is this?

(Popeye muttering indistinctly)

(Wimpy exclaiming)

Oh.

(Wimpy exclaiming)

(gentle orchestral music)

Well, here I go again.

- [Gracie] Oh, I forgot to tell you.

I got those new lights I was telling you about.

- Nice.

That's awesome.

Still on for dinner tonight?

- [Gracie] Yeah, yeah, of course.

- I'm excited.

- Me too.

We should probably get going.

I think he wants you there by 10.

- Alrighty.

Sounds good.

I'm just gonna go get ready real quick.

- Okay.

Kiss?

(Olive screaming)

(gentle orchestral music)

- [Popeye] Whoa.

(Gracie sighing)

- [Olive] Oh, I wanna stop..

(water running)

(water running)

(knuckles rapping)

- Hi.

- [Gracie] I just wanted to check in.

Make sure you're doing okay.

- Yep, I'm good.

- I saw a cat today that kind of looked like you.

Well, it was, it was more the way it walked,

but it was cute.

We should get a cat.

(fists thudding)

- You know, you actually have to go to dinner tonight.

It's not something you can just bail on.

- No, I know.

We, we will, I promise.

(Douglass sighing)

There's a lot of money in this one.

- That's good.

- Look at this place.

No wonder this guy's paying so much.

I wonder how much his mortgage is.

(no audio)

- Do you think that after 30 years,

we're still gonna be doing this?

- God, I hope not.

Well, at least not you having to actually do the work.

I figure we'll ride the Dougie-Style high

and bring in the money and then eventually

we'll move on.

(gentle music)

Find someone to take your place

and both handle the business side of things.

You know how that show works.

We'd be pretty good at it.

- That's gonna be nice.

- Good luck in there.

Last one of the week.

And, and I love you.

- I love you too.

- So what do you wanna do?

We could go to your bedroom.

We could go to the- - No, no, no.

I just wanna look at you a little while longer.

That must have come across so creepy.

I'm, I'm so sorry.

It's just, it's the real Dougie-Style

right here in front of me.

- Yeah.

Not to be rude,

but I do have someone waiting outside for me.

So can you tell me what you want?

I don't do anything without a condom.

- Dougie, may I call you Dougie?

- Sure.

- I already talked to your manager when I was booking you

and I told her I'd be taking my time,

so really it's no rush.

- All right.

I'd still like to know what we're gonna be doing.

So is there anything-

- Could you just shut your pretty little mouth for a second?

I just wanna talk a little first.

This is a big night for me.

Dougie.

Dougie, is, is there a celebrity that you particularly like?

Celeb...

Um, I like Steve Martin.

- Steve Martin.

He's fantastic.

Now I want you to imagine

that you have Steve Martin

sitting in front of you right now.

Okay?

And he's ready to fuck.

'Cause that's what it's like for me right now.

I'm about to fuck Steve Martin.

I hope you like steak.

(chair squeaking)

- Yeah.

Steak's good.

(tense music)

(burner clicking)

(steak sizzling)

- So tell me about yourself.

What does Dougie-Style like to do in his spare time?

- Not much, honestly.

Usually just with my girlfriend.

- Hmm.

She's your manager too, right?

- Well, I'm not sure if manager is the right word, but yeah.

- Yeah.

How is that?

- How is what?

- Doing business with your lady?

- Fine.

You know, it's a part of our relationship,

has its ups and downs.

- How long has she been having you do this,

meeting up with people?

- A couple months.

Just a nice way for us to make some more money.

- And you trust her?

I mean, she's the one arranging all of these meetups.

- Yeah, of course I do.

- I think that she could be doing a better job.

- What do you mean by that?

(tense music continues)

- "I imagine pressing your head

hard against my wall as I fuck you.

I wish I could just keep you with me for days

as my own personal fuck toy."

You remember that letter?

Hi,

I'm Bill, Bill Hobbs.

(tense music continues)

You never responded to me Dougie

and I was incredibly hurt by that.

Please, eat.

- What is this?

- This is a flank steak.

- Yeah, I know this is a flank steak.

I feel like there's a specific reason

I'm here right now.

- Yeah, you're right.

But I just wanna talk a little first.

This is a very special night for me.

- All right.

What do you wanna talk about?

- How about you ask me a question?

- I'm not exactly sure what type

of question you'd want me to ask you.

- So why don't you start with where I work?

- Okay, Bill, where do you work?

- Thank you for asking.

I work at the LA Times, editor in chief.

- Wow, that's awesome.

- It is awesome, Dougie.

It is because I have a job that gives me fulfillment.

I go to work, I call the shots, I make a living.

And as you can see, it's quite a living.

- Listen, Bill, I'm gonna be honest.

I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now.

- No, how so?

- Well, I'm worried that Gracie's gonna wonder

what's taking me so long.

- Listen, first of all, nothing's gonna happen to you

that hasn't already happened.

And second, do you really think Gracie cares

about what happens to you?

I mean, it's not really anonymous

if you have their mailing addresses.

She did make me promise that I wouldn't mention who I was,

but where's the fun in that?

- Are you trying to make me feel bad

or are you just trying to scare me?

Is that all you wanna do?

I mean, did you even wanna have sex?

Are you literally just trying to punish me?

- Oh, Dougie, of course I want to have sex.

First actually I'd like a blowjob.

But before any of that happens, I need to know

that you know your place.

- What the fuck is your problem?

- Stop pretending like you're not gonna do this, okay?

I'm sick of it.

I mean, seriously, what's the point in pretending?

Just be yourself.

It's incredibly sexy.

- You don't know anything about me,

- So I don't know anything about you.

Tell me something.

Why are you with Gracie?

Is it the money that she can provide?

Is it the men that she gets you to fuck

or can you just not hold down a regular fucking job?

I mean, what is it?

- She loves me.

I love her.

(Bill laughing)

- (coughing) Oh my God, Dougie.

That's beautiful.

(chuckling) I mean, you are more beautiful

than I could have ever imagined.

How'd you end up like this?

I mean, what happened to you?

- I'm gonna leave now.

- No, you're not.

Because that's not something Dougie-Style would do.

Okay?

You're gonna go in my room

and you're gonna wait by my bed

and then you're gonna do whatever I want you to do.

Because you don't want to disappoint Gracie, do you?

No.

Fuck, I don't even think you're capable

of saying no to anything.

So get the fuck up.

Come with me.

(tense music)

You know, I truly think it's fate that we met.

(tense music continues)

- You really mean it?

You think it was fate?

- [Bill] I do.

I'm gonna go wash up.

- Where are we going?

Douglas, please tell me.

(car horn honking)

Look, I, I'm sorry.

Okay?

It was wrong of me to bring you there.

I know that, and I'm sorry.

The pay, Douglass,

the pay was unlike anything we've ever seen before.

Say something.

(Gracie sighing)

(engine rumbling)

(gravel crunching)

(distant airplane engine roaring)

(Douglass sighing)

(Gracie breathing heavily)

What are we doing here, Douglass?

What are you trying to say?

I...

I need you to know how much I care about you, Douglass.

Our relationship is complicated.

I know that.

We're...

We're meant to be together.

And I, I don't know what you did in there, Douglass.

I don't know what you did.

And I don't know what you're planning to do,

but I hope that it's not to throw all of this away

'cause I need you.

I need you, Douglass.

I love you.

Don't you love me?

(Gracie breathing heavily)

Do you know the day that you fucked everything up?

Do you know what day I'm talking about?

It was the day you decided you were too good

to go fuck that first fan.

Like that was your limit,

out of all of the nasty and humiliating shit

that you've done, that was it.

And everything was weird after that

because you made it.

You could have just done it

and not made me feel bad about it.

You chose this!

Nobody forced you to...

You're fucking 17?

I bet you're planning on getting me in trouble now, huh?

Is that what you're planning on?

Well, good fucking luck with that

because you played a part in distributing it too,

so I hope you know what that means.

(no audio)

I'm giving you one last chance.

I'm giving you one last chance.

You get out of the car, we switch seats, and we go home.

I don't know what you did in there, Douglass,

but you're a minor,

and you can claim self-defense.

We can claim self-defense.

But I, I need to know that you're gonna work with me on this

and I need, I need to know that to everybody else

I'm just seen as your older friend,

and that can change when you're 18.

We don't have a lot longer.

But if, if you don't work with me on this, Douglass,

if you let me get out of this car, I'm not gonna be able

to help you with whatever happens.

And, and more importantly, we're not,

we're not ever gonna be able to be together again.

If we can't get through this, Douglass,

if you, if you, if you can't work with me on this,

do you know, do you know what could happen to you

and me, and me?

Do you know what the fuck could happen to me?

If you don't work with me on this, you could ruin my life.

You could ruin my entire fucking life.

Do you even care about that?

No.

Even thinking about that?

No.

Even after all of this time, all of the good times,

all of the laughter, all of the intimacy-

- This isn't about what you want.

Just stop.

I'm done, Gracie.

Please stop.
