1
00:00:10,066 --> 00:00:12,426
(birds chirping)
2
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:15,270
Thank you for coming out.
3
00:00:15,333 --> 00:00:17,533
It's great you make house calls.
4
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,200
It's been much easier since my vaccination.
5
00:00:21,266 --> 00:00:22,666
Is this an okay place to set up?
6
00:00:22,733 --> 00:00:25,103
Yeah, anywhere with a flat surface is fine.
7
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:29,670
-Just one document today, correct? -Mm-hmm.
8
00:00:29,733 --> 00:00:32,603
-And what is the nature of the document? -Um...
9
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:35,626
a Consent to Contact form? Adoption.
10
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:37,400
California Department of Social Services?
11
00:00:37,466 --> 00:00:40,296
Uh, South Los Angeles Adoption Services.
12
00:00:40,366 --> 00:00:41,326
Hm.
13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,000
-Do you have your ID as well? -Yes.
14
00:00:48,233 --> 00:00:49,773
-Go ahead and sign. -Oh, okay.
15
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:03,266
(papers crinkling)
16
00:01:12,066 --> 00:01:13,366
Everything looks good.
17
00:01:14,466 --> 00:01:16,366
Just need your signature here
18
00:01:16,433 --> 00:01:18,073
and a thumbprint, please.
19
00:01:18,133 --> 00:01:19,233
Okay.
20
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:21,600
(sighs)
21
00:01:32,066 --> 00:01:35,066
-(click) -Make sure to submit these together.
22
00:01:46,633 --> 00:01:49,673
(light piano music playing)
23
00:01:49,733 --> 00:01:51,773
♪
24
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,370
Yeah! Good! I'm good!
25
00:02:08,433 --> 00:02:11,173
Feeling good today! Easy in my harness.
26
00:02:11,233 --> 00:02:14,473
May I ask what has you so filled with the spirit?
27
00:02:15,633 --> 00:02:18,233
Let me pick you up and show you some shit.
28
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,730
Bam! How you like me now?
29
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,430
You see that?
30
00:02:27,466 --> 00:02:29,126
Open door!
31
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,030
The DeMarcos took Jeremy to a specialist
32
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:32,430
all the way down in San Diego,
33
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:36,270
and they're not gonna be back home till, like, 8:00.
34
00:02:36,333 --> 00:02:37,673
So I'm lettin' my hair down
35
00:02:37,733 --> 00:02:40,003
like Dolly Parton up in this bitch.
36
00:02:40,066 --> 00:02:42,266
Sorry. I-I shouldn't say bitch.
37
00:02:42,333 --> 00:02:44,303
I'm lettin' my hair down like
38
00:02:44,366 --> 00:02:46,266
(speaking Spanish)
39
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,233
I'm ESL and English be fucked sometimes but, yes.
40
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:54,200
Yes, we can talk about whatever today because...
41
00:02:54,266 --> 00:02:55,596
ya tú sabes.
42
00:02:55,666 --> 00:02:59,166
So that must ease the pressure to have them gone.
43
00:02:59,233 --> 00:03:00,433
Eladio: Yeah, it does.
44
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:02,500
I mean, I actually slept last night.
45
00:03:02,566 --> 00:03:06,326
Almost four hours, knowing they'd be up and gone.
46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,300
I mean, I'm not trying to talk shit.
47
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:10,600
I feel...
48
00:03:12,233 --> 00:03:14,573
-I feel bad kinda. -Brooke: About what?
49
00:03:16,433 --> 00:03:18,273
About what I said about them last week.
50
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:22,496
Like, you asked me...
51
00:03:22,566 --> 00:03:25,096
-you asked me why I stay. -Yeah.
52
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:27,770
And I said Jeremy.
53
00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:31,633
-You did. -Well, I been thinking a lot about it,
54
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,030
and I don't feel like you believe me.
55
00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:37,130
Or, like, give it the...
56
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,570
the weight it deserves.
57
00:03:38,633 --> 00:03:41,133
You know, I-I don't feel like you get it.
58
00:03:41,733 --> 00:03:43,373
So make me get it.
59
00:03:45,433 --> 00:03:48,273
He's not just my fuckin' guy, yo.
60
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:50,473
We're, like...
61
00:03:50,533 --> 00:03:52,433
in love.
62
00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,770
Do you mean in a romantic sense?
63
00:03:56,666 --> 00:03:59,126
Wh-what even is romance?
64
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,600
Look, I'm not trying to dodge you or nothin'!
65
00:04:01,666 --> 00:04:04,226
But, I don't think my life is gonna be one
66
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:07,330
that involves some sort of long-term partnership
67
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,430
as, like, a fucking centerpiece.
68
00:04:11,166 --> 00:04:13,296
Why is that?
69
00:04:13,366 --> 00:04:16,626
My... how I move through the world,
70
00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:19,430
I don't know that it's super-conducive
71
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:22,070
to marriage or some shit like that.
72
00:04:22,133 --> 00:04:24,133
People in my life are like seasons.
73
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,030
You know, they move through me like water.
74
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,470
I guess I put them into two categories.
75
00:04:29,533 --> 00:04:31,173
People I love that I might fuck,
76
00:04:31,233 --> 00:04:33,773
and people I love that I'll never fuck.
77
00:04:34,033 --> 00:04:34,773
And Freud,
78
00:04:35,033 --> 00:04:37,103
my dude, if you're listenin',
79
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,566
we've established
80
00:04:38,633 --> 00:04:40,703
my therapist is in the latter.
81
00:04:40,766 --> 00:04:42,296
-(laughs) -I mean,
82
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:45,996
sex is just a part of the possible landscape or it's not.
83
00:04:46,066 --> 00:04:48,226
Like, which is to say that
84
00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:52,230
all love, to me, is romantic.
85
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:55,130
-I can understand that. -It all requires courtship,
86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,100
it all requires sacrifice,
87
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:58,426
and I don't...
88
00:04:58,500 --> 00:05:01,570
Like, if you're asking are me and Jeremy together,
89
00:05:01,633 --> 00:05:05,073
no. But we're a unit.
90
00:05:05,133 --> 00:05:08,133
You know, ever since I started working here, he's become...
91
00:05:09,033 --> 00:05:11,533
he-he's in my life.
92
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,200
When did that become true?
93
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:16,600
-What do you mean? -Well,
94
00:05:16,666 --> 00:05:20,266
I have to imagine it wasn't like that from the very first second.
95
00:05:20,333 --> 00:05:23,003
There had to be a moment where things shifted, no?
96
00:05:23,066 --> 00:05:24,526
When the patient goes
97
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,370
from simply being work to something more.
98
00:05:30,266 --> 00:05:32,126
Like us?
99
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,470
Uh, like the late-night phone calls and shit.
100
00:05:36,100 --> 00:05:37,230
No.
101
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,770
-No, I don't think-- -Look, I don't know
102
00:05:40,033 --> 00:05:43,433
that I have, like, a story for you, you know,
103
00:05:43,500 --> 00:05:46,270
I mean, I got stories for days, but not...
104
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,130
Was there a moment?
105
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,370
I mean, it was just kinda easy. All right? Like...
106
00:05:52,433 --> 00:05:54,433
he's a easy dude to love,
107
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:56,030
and he loved me from the beginning,
108
00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:58,530
and not in a superficial way. It was...
109
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,400
Look, friendship for me?
110
00:06:08,466 --> 00:06:11,126
It's traditionally been pretty weird.
111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,370
I've never had a lot of friends
112
00:06:13,433 --> 00:06:15,273
that were my own age.
113
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,233
You know, but-but Jeremy,
114
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:19,630
we're equals in a way that I'm not used to.
115
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:23,130
You know, he listens to me. He confides in me. He...
116
00:06:26,433 --> 00:06:27,733
Brooke: What?
117
00:06:29,433 --> 00:06:31,103
I don't know. He...
118
00:06:31,166 --> 00:06:32,696
He takes me seriously.
119
00:06:32,766 --> 00:06:35,626
You know, and I take him seriously.
120
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:38,230
You gotta understand, this is a guy that people
121
00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:40,470
fuckin' undermine and dismiss
122
00:06:40,533 --> 00:06:44,073
every fuckin' second of his life, and he fights back.
123
00:06:44,133 --> 00:06:47,073
He stands up for himself, and it's dope.
124
00:06:49,666 --> 00:06:54,026
Now, we used to spend whole days at Target,
125
00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:56,470
like, in front of the elevator because he needs to practice
126
00:06:56,533 --> 00:07:00,073
pressing the button, and people would be like to me,
127
00:07:00,133 --> 00:07:02,133
"Sir, can you just press it for him?"
128
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,330
And Jeremy would go off on them, and then I get to be
129
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,770
-on my tough-guy shit. -(laughs)
130
00:07:07,033 --> 00:07:09,733
(laughs) We almost got kicked out, like, twice.
131
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,070
But it's fun.
132
00:07:12,133 --> 00:07:14,003
Being his accomplice.
133
00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:17,273
And he's my accomplice, too.
134
00:07:17,333 --> 00:07:18,703
Oh, in what way?
135
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,230
Well, this one time, right,
136
00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:25,000
his brother Daniel came back home from Princeton,
137
00:07:25,066 --> 00:07:27,626
and dude had been home for all of three hours,
138
00:07:27,700 --> 00:07:29,700
and his watch goes missing.
139
00:07:29,766 --> 00:07:31,426
(scoffs) Dog,
140
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:33,770
I don't even... What?
141
00:07:34,033 --> 00:07:36,503
What kind of fucking sense would that make?
142
00:07:36,566 --> 00:07:38,096
But Daniel wasn't around,
143
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:40,326
so he didn't realize I was a part of the family.
144
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,230
He thought he could talk to me any kind of way,
145
00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:45,270
so he accuses me, and I was like, "Fam.
146
00:07:45,333 --> 00:07:48,103
"What the fuck do I want with a mid-range Movado?
147
00:07:48,166 --> 00:07:50,696
I mean, if it was Patek Philippe, maybe."
148
00:07:50,766 --> 00:07:52,166
You know what I mean?
149
00:07:52,233 --> 00:07:54,633
But he didn't think I was gonna clap back.
150
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,170
-(laughs) -So he turns all kinds of red,
151
00:07:57,233 --> 00:08:00,303
and then Daniel tries to get up in my face! I'm like, "Dog.
152
00:08:00,366 --> 00:08:02,266
"I-I'm not trying to catch a felony,
153
00:08:02,333 --> 00:08:03,633
but I will put you down."
154
00:08:03,700 --> 00:08:06,000
-(chuckles) -But it didn't even come to that
155
00:08:06,066 --> 00:08:08,126
because Jeremy got between us.
156
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,270
-What, physically? -Physically!
157
00:08:10,333 --> 00:08:12,433
He rolled over his foot, yo.
158
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:14,330
And that-that electric joint is heavy.
159
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,130
And I was like, "Yo, chill!"
160
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,130
But he-he wouldn't. He defended me.
161
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,730
You know, I never had anybody defend me like that.
162
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Especially...
163
00:08:24,666 --> 00:08:27,026
especially not a white person.
164
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,130
That shit meant something to me.
165
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,770
I'm sure it did.
166
00:08:31,033 --> 00:08:32,703
Eladio: We don't agree on everything.
167
00:08:32,766 --> 00:08:35,266
Sometimes, we fight like a fuckin' old married couple,
168
00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:37,503
but when it comes down to it,
169
00:08:37,566 --> 00:08:40,726
even if he says some stupid shit sometimes,
170
00:08:41,766 --> 00:08:44,666
his actions are louder.
171
00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:47,573
I don't know a human being alive that doesn't understand
172
00:08:47,633 --> 00:08:50,573
how complicated relationships can be.
173
00:08:50,633 --> 00:08:52,673
Mm, sounds like you got some stories there, doc.
174
00:08:52,733 --> 00:08:55,733
-(laughs) -Let me guess, some star-crossed love shit?
175
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,230
(laughs) Crossed, bisected, interlaced,
176
00:08:58,300 --> 00:09:00,430
-zig-zagged, you name it. -(laughs) Bunch of men out there
177
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,430
looking for you to be mommy, I bet.
178
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:05,330
You are not alone in that, Eladio, okay?
179
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,470
-You are not alone. (laughs) -(laughs)
180
00:09:08,533 --> 00:09:12,103
-Oh... -So what do you and Jeremy end up fighting about?
181
00:09:14,066 --> 00:09:15,166
(sucks teeth)
182
00:09:15,700 --> 00:09:17,000
(inhales)
183
00:09:20,666 --> 00:09:22,496
Look,
184
00:09:22,566 --> 00:09:24,696
what I'ma say about this,
185
00:09:24,766 --> 00:09:26,596
it's... it's just...
186
00:09:29,233 --> 00:09:32,603
I don't have a lot of experience in disability politics, okay?
187
00:09:32,666 --> 00:09:36,026
I will hear everything you say with that caveat.
188
00:09:36,100 --> 00:09:38,000
Eladio: It's just that, Jeremy says
189
00:09:38,066 --> 00:09:40,466
a lot of fucked-up shit that I disagree with.
190
00:09:40,533 --> 00:09:43,333
And primarily, his ignorance is born of class and race.
191
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,100
And nobody that takes care of him
192
00:09:45,166 --> 00:09:47,526
shares the same class or the same race.
193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,170
I mean, there was this one white boy, but he didn't last.
194
00:09:50,233 --> 00:09:53,403
And look, I make $12 an hour, right?
195
00:09:53,466 --> 00:09:56,266
I don't have a savings. But if I did have a savings,
196
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:59,173
I would put a fucking G-note on the fact that Jeremy has said
197
00:09:59,233 --> 00:10:02,673
some wildly offensive shit to each and every one of his aides.
198
00:10:02,733 --> 00:10:05,003
And I'm not super-close with those guys. I mean,
199
00:10:05,066 --> 00:10:08,026
I hung out with Marlon, like, a couple times and that's it.
200
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:09,600
But from what I gathered, those other dudes,
201
00:10:09,666 --> 00:10:11,166
they don't take Jeremy's bait.
202
00:10:11,233 --> 00:10:14,733
I mean, I asked Marlon about it once, and he's like, "Dog...
203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,630
you know, it's not worth it. I don't get paid enough."
204
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:19,530
And facts.
205
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,470
I'm watching you, Eladio,
206
00:10:21,533 --> 00:10:23,203
and your body language right now,
207
00:10:23,266 --> 00:10:25,996
and I would bet you take the bait.
208
00:10:26,066 --> 00:10:30,226
(scoffs) Every fuckin' time, yo!
209
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:31,770
But to not take the bait
210
00:10:32,033 --> 00:10:34,473
would be to dismiss him, and he's not stupid at all!
211
00:10:34,533 --> 00:10:38,373
His disability is literally 100% physical!
212
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:40,603
Th-there's zero intellectual component!
213
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:42,396
In fact, if you look it up,
214
00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:45,366
it says, "intelligence is normal
215
00:10:45,433 --> 00:10:47,373
to above normal." I repeat--
216
00:10:47,433 --> 00:10:49,233
"Normal to above normal."
217
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:50,670
You're saying
218
00:10:50,733 --> 00:10:53,673
he's responsible for his words and behavior?
219
00:10:53,733 --> 00:10:56,403
Eladio: Of course he fuckin' is!
220
00:10:56,466 --> 00:10:58,666
And yo! You can't roll up on me
221
00:10:58,733 --> 00:11:00,733
talkin' about, "Palestine shouldn't be a state,"
222
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,500
and just expect me to fuckin' just, like,
223
00:11:03,566 --> 00:11:06,696
finish up my Caesar salad! Like, yo, get the fuck outta here!
224
00:11:06,766 --> 00:11:08,266
So you argue with him.
225
00:11:08,333 --> 00:11:10,333
Yo, dude is wrong about most shit
226
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,070
because he's white, not because he's disabled.
227
00:11:13,133 --> 00:11:16,203
-Understood. -And the things he believes are-are
228
00:11:16,266 --> 00:11:18,726
fuckin' largely incorrect,
229
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,470
uh, uh, ahistorical, lack critical thinking,
230
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:24,403
and that's not my fault! But to not engage with him
231
00:11:24,466 --> 00:11:27,266
on that level feels ableist.
232
00:11:30,033 --> 00:11:32,733
Would you have this much empathy for Jeremy,
233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,030
and empathy from my point of view
234
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:36,770
translates to patience,
235
00:11:37,033 --> 00:11:38,773
if he wasn't disabled?
236
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,570
I... (scoffs)
237
00:11:44,166 --> 00:11:47,566
No. Probably not.
238
00:11:47,633 --> 00:11:50,403
Is that not in itself ableist?
239
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:52,500
Or,
240
00:11:52,566 --> 00:11:55,026
at the very least, a form of
241
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,570
a condescension you seem to abhor in others?
242
00:12:01,066 --> 00:12:02,526
I...
243
00:12:03,433 --> 00:12:05,103
Maybe.
244
00:12:06,566 --> 00:12:08,726
-(sighs) -(chair rattling)
245
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,330
(sighs)
246
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,330
But I really do feel empathetic toward him, yo.
247
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,470
Like just because his sphere of influence is small and wrong,
248
00:12:17,533 --> 00:12:20,133
doesn't mean his heart is wrong.
249
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,370
His heart is...
250
00:12:22,433 --> 00:12:25,133
it's my favorite heart in the world, yo.
251
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,000
Like, real shit.
252
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,730
(laughs) So,
253
00:12:31,033 --> 00:12:33,333
dude is mad religious, right?
254
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,130
And one time, he asked me to take him
255
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,430
to this evangelical church in Beverly Hills.
256
00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:40,270
Brooke: I thought you said the DeMarcos were Catholic.
257
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:42,173
They are, but, um,
258
00:12:42,233 --> 00:12:44,403
but his friend was, like,
259
00:12:44,466 --> 00:12:46,526
giving a sermon or preaching...
260
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,730
I-I don't know what it's called,
261
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,570
but his friend was the one doing the talking.
262
00:12:49,633 --> 00:12:51,573
-Got it. -And,
263
00:12:51,633 --> 00:12:54,173
most of it largely fuckin' sucked.
264
00:12:54,233 --> 00:12:57,103
He-he did say one interesting thing, but...
265
00:12:57,166 --> 00:12:59,496
on our way, we got into an argument because I told him
266
00:12:59,566 --> 00:13:02,426
a story about an ex of mine, and he started saying
267
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:05,130
I'm going to Hell because I had sex out of wedlock.
268
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,500
I'm like, "First of all, who talks like that?"
269
00:13:08,566 --> 00:13:10,696
So, I'm already heated, and by the time we got there,
270
00:13:10,766 --> 00:13:14,026
honestly, I wanted to leave his ass.
271
00:13:14,100 --> 00:13:16,230
But, before the service started,
272
00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:19,130
we hit the bathroom, and the stall was so small that,
273
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,300
like, we barely could fit in there.
274
00:13:21,366 --> 00:13:23,166
I missed up with the pee bottle.
275
00:13:23,233 --> 00:13:26,433
Now, I'm covered in piss, which wasn't his fault.
276
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:29,430
(laughs) But-but, we already weren't speaking,
277
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:32,730
so, you know, it didn't help.
278
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,530
Now, anyone with even a cursory familiarity
279
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,430
with the Bible will tell you that
280
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:40,130
it's a common theme that a man who could not walk
281
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,670
meets Jesus and, suddenly, he can walk again.
282
00:13:43,733 --> 00:13:45,603
But what I didn't know with my dumbass was that
283
00:13:45,666 --> 00:13:49,366
these evangelical motherfuckers take that shit seriously.
284
00:13:49,433 --> 00:13:51,203
Like, it's not a metaphor.
285
00:13:51,266 --> 00:13:55,026
So, halfway through the sermon, they start trying
286
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,200
-to lay hands on him. -No.
287
00:13:57,266 --> 00:13:59,126
Yeah, yo. They were yelling, like,
288
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,770
"Heal him! Heal him! He will walk again!"
289
00:14:02,700 --> 00:14:04,200
It was fucked up, yo,
290
00:14:04,266 --> 00:14:07,326
and, obviously, this pissed Jeremy the fuck off.
291
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,230
So now, my man, who was
292
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:12,170
just trying to talk to me on some "holier than thou" shit
293
00:14:12,233 --> 00:14:13,573
five minutes prior,
294
00:14:13,633 --> 00:14:15,273
is cursing out the entire congregation,
295
00:14:15,333 --> 00:14:17,673
and I'm like, "We gotta get the fuck outta here."
296
00:14:17,733 --> 00:14:21,333
But, at one point, my man was... (laughs)
297
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,430
Yo, at one point, my man told the pastor to suck his dick.
298
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:28,130
-This is his friend? -Yes, ma'am.
299
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,130
He-he told this man to suck his dick from the back.
300
00:14:32,133 --> 00:14:34,133
Yeah, I know.
301
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,430
And then we ended up sneaking into a movie,
302
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:38,600
and he bought me a new T-shirt.
303
00:14:38,666 --> 00:14:41,596
But the most important thing to me was that
304
00:14:41,666 --> 00:14:43,296
he apologized.
305
00:14:43,366 --> 00:14:46,726
-For saying you were going to Hell? -Yeah.
306
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,700
And the most important thing to him was that
307
00:14:48,766 --> 00:14:50,566
I had his back.
308
00:14:50,633 --> 00:14:53,503
You know, I didn't-- I didn't try to rush him out of there.
309
00:14:53,566 --> 00:14:55,766
I waited till he spoke his peace,
310
00:14:56,033 --> 00:14:57,533
and then we left.
311
00:14:58,533 --> 00:15:00,233
He's lucky to have you.
312
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,200
Luck? Shit.
313
00:15:06,266 --> 00:15:08,266
That's not a word to associate with me.
314
00:15:09,566 --> 00:15:11,696
But, that's the one thing the pastor said
315
00:15:11,766 --> 00:15:13,466
that made sense to me.
316
00:15:13,533 --> 00:15:15,003
The whole thing was a mess,
317
00:15:15,066 --> 00:15:17,026
but just because someone is wrong about everything else,
318
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:20,200
doesn't mean that they don't have insight about something.
319
00:15:20,266 --> 00:15:22,626
Then, you know, at one point in the sermon,
320
00:15:22,700 --> 00:15:24,670
before all hell broke loose,
321
00:15:24,733 --> 00:15:26,273
the pastor said,
322
00:15:26,333 --> 00:15:28,403
"Grass isn't greener on the other side.
323
00:15:28,466 --> 00:15:31,226
The grass is green where you water it."
324
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,330
And that's me and Jeremy.
325
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:38,273
It's not perfect, but we tend to it.
326
00:15:38,333 --> 00:15:40,333
You know, like, we fight, and then we come home,
327
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,170
and I draw him up a bath and make sure
328
00:15:42,233 --> 00:15:44,203
he's got the lavender bath salts that he likes,
329
00:15:44,266 --> 00:15:47,066
and the water's hot, but not too hot.
330
00:15:47,133 --> 00:15:49,273
We shed the day together.
331
00:15:51,666 --> 00:15:54,126
I'm gonna say this again
332
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,300
so that you can hear it.
333
00:16:00,066 --> 00:16:02,566
Jeremy is lucky to have you.
334
00:16:05,366 --> 00:16:07,596
(scoffs) Yeah, whatever.
335
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,770
I'm just a sucker,
336
00:16:12,033 --> 00:16:15,533
-and so is he, probably. -Wait, no. Hey.
337
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,230
I'm not dismissing any of what it takes
338
00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:21,270
to be in a relationship like that. Not at all.
339
00:16:21,333 --> 00:16:23,403
I'm simply trying to convey
340
00:16:23,466 --> 00:16:26,426
my appreciation for the person that you are.
341
00:16:36,766 --> 00:16:39,066
(sighs) What did I miss?
342
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,670
Nah. All good.
343
00:16:44,733 --> 00:16:48,373
Really? 'Cause I'm not getting an "all good" vibe here.
344
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:58,400
Would you be open to hearing how I'm feeling right now?
345
00:17:00,266 --> 00:17:02,066
Cool. Sure.
346
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,500
Truthfully?
347
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,000
I'm frustrated.
348
00:17:08,066 --> 00:17:09,296
If I have it right,
349
00:17:09,366 --> 00:17:12,526
I simply paid you a compliment, and you shut down.
350
00:17:16,766 --> 00:17:20,166
Yo, I come to therapy for help, yo, not for compliments.
351
00:17:22,366 --> 00:17:23,726
Don't you?
352
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,600
Brooke: I know your childhood lacked
353
00:17:27,666 --> 00:17:30,626
any real acknowledgment of your worth.
354
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,430
The disregard of your feelings, of you, by your mother
355
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:36,630
that persists to this day,
356
00:17:36,700 --> 00:17:38,370
which is why this,
357
00:17:38,433 --> 00:17:40,233
between us...
358
00:17:42,433 --> 00:17:45,073
You cast me in the mother role with the hope
359
00:17:45,133 --> 00:17:48,673
that I can be able to do the things she can't.
360
00:17:48,733 --> 00:17:52,303
Acceptance, attunement, approval.
361
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:55,266
But when I approve,
362
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:58,633
you can't hear it.
363
00:17:58,700 --> 00:18:01,270
You don't know what to do with it.
364
00:18:01,333 --> 00:18:04,173
There isn't a place built inside you
365
00:18:04,233 --> 00:18:06,333
that can hold it.
366
00:18:09,766 --> 00:18:12,126
So where does that leave us?
367
00:18:14,033 --> 00:18:15,203
(quietly): Ooh.
368
00:18:16,333 --> 00:18:18,503
Damn, doc. (scoffs)
369
00:18:18,566 --> 00:18:20,996
That's some fucked-up shit.
370
00:18:21,066 --> 00:18:23,066
No wonder I don't fuckin' sleep.
371
00:18:23,133 --> 00:18:24,203
That's a nightmare.
372
00:18:24,266 --> 00:18:27,466
Yes, indeed. It is some fucked-up shit.
373
00:18:27,533 --> 00:18:31,673
It is also the "X" on the treasure map.
374
00:18:31,733 --> 00:18:35,173
There is gold under our feet, if you're down to dig.
375
00:18:38,266 --> 00:18:39,766
What do you mean?
376
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,500
There's a concept in modern psychology
377
00:18:44,566 --> 00:18:47,366
known as re-parenting,
378
00:18:47,433 --> 00:18:50,273
where the therapist guides the patient
379
00:18:50,333 --> 00:18:53,573
to a moment in their childhood where they were wronged,
380
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:57,173
and respond as a healthy, secure parent would
381
00:18:57,233 --> 00:19:00,673
to help make the repair to the inner child inside.
382
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,770
You gonna rock me to sleep or some shit?
383
00:19:06,433 --> 00:19:08,033
(laughs)
384
00:19:08,100 --> 00:19:09,670
Role play can occur,
385
00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:13,273
but it's rare and a bit fringe.
386
00:19:14,366 --> 00:19:17,096
I generally start with inviting you
387
00:19:17,166 --> 00:19:19,496
to close your eyes.
388
00:19:24,066 --> 00:19:25,326
Okay.
389
00:19:29,366 --> 00:19:32,066
Now, picture a place from your childhood.
390
00:19:32,133 --> 00:19:35,533
Somewhere you felt safe.
391
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,430
I don't know that I've ever felt safe,
392
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,700
but I remember a room.
393
00:19:41,533 --> 00:19:43,073
What's in the room?
394
00:19:45,066 --> 00:19:46,666
I don't know exactly,
395
00:19:46,733 --> 00:19:49,073
but there was a window,
396
00:19:49,133 --> 00:19:51,273
a mango tree...
397
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:53,233
The squirrels used to play with the rotten fruit
398
00:19:53,300 --> 00:19:55,000
outside in the summer.
399
00:19:55,066 --> 00:19:57,466
Wonderful.
400
00:19:57,533 --> 00:20:00,133
We'll use that to establish space.
401
00:20:02,166 --> 00:20:04,726
Let's fill in some of the details.
402
00:20:06,366 --> 00:20:08,226
Can you look down for me?
403
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,200
-(sighs) -What do you see?
404
00:20:17,433 --> 00:20:18,733
Eladio: Uh...
405
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,170
It's a notebook, maybe.
406
00:20:21,233 --> 00:20:23,673
One of the ones with the big- ass blue lines
407
00:20:23,733 --> 00:20:26,073
and the-the red dotted line in the middle
408
00:20:26,133 --> 00:20:29,103
for when you're just learning how to spell.
409
00:20:30,566 --> 00:20:32,466
What does it say?
410
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:47,166
I'm sorry, I... I don't know why I just went there, but...
411
00:20:47,233 --> 00:20:49,773
If there's something upsetting in a memory this early,
412
00:20:50,033 --> 00:20:52,533
I think it's important that we look at it.
413
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:57,030
"I'm sorry."
414
00:20:57,100 --> 00:20:58,670
Brooke: Nothing to be sorry for.
415
00:21:00,333 --> 00:21:03,673
Nah, that's what the paper said.
416
00:21:03,733 --> 00:21:06,103
And how old are you in this memory?
417
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,470
Eight, maybe.
418
00:21:12,166 --> 00:21:13,696
Somethin' like that.
419
00:21:13,766 --> 00:21:17,126
What does an 8-year-old have to be sorry about?
420
00:21:17,733 --> 00:21:19,433
I don't know, man.
421
00:21:20,333 --> 00:21:22,733
That summer, I...
422
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,600
I don't even know where I got this shit from.
423
00:21:27,033 --> 00:21:29,773
That's the first summer I started masturbating.
424
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:34,766
(sighs) I don't--
425
00:21:35,033 --> 00:21:36,403
Should we even--
426
00:21:36,466 --> 00:21:38,166
I don't know that this is relevant.
427
00:21:38,233 --> 00:21:40,403
Brooke: It's all relevant.
428
00:21:42,566 --> 00:21:44,766
You were sorry for...
429
00:21:45,033 --> 00:21:47,633
-masturbating? -No. It's just...
430
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:50,570
it's the only thing I did that whole summer.
431
00:21:50,633 --> 00:21:52,303
My moms thought I was sick because I always wanted
432
00:21:52,366 --> 00:21:55,366
to be in the bathroom, and then, at some point,
433
00:21:55,433 --> 00:21:58,773
I don't know if it was the news or the TV,
434
00:21:59,033 --> 00:22:00,503
I got it in my head that
435
00:22:00,566 --> 00:22:02,566
masturbating gave you AIDS.
436
00:22:02,633 --> 00:22:04,573
-AIDS? -Yeah, and I don't even know
437
00:22:04,633 --> 00:22:07,433
if I really knew what that meant.
438
00:22:07,500 --> 00:22:09,270
I guess it meant death
439
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:11,033
'cause I thought I was gonna die,
440
00:22:11,100 --> 00:22:13,400
and I thought it was my fault, so I was
441
00:22:13,466 --> 00:22:16,296
writing a letter, apologizing to my mom.
442
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,530
Did you give your mother the letter?
443
00:22:21,100 --> 00:22:22,370
Yeah.
444
00:22:23,466 --> 00:22:25,166
How did she take it?
445
00:22:27,266 --> 00:22:28,526
What do you think?
446
00:22:33,266 --> 00:22:36,126
Then I'm going to be your mother in this moment.
447
00:22:38,033 --> 00:22:41,373
I'm going to give you the understanding
448
00:22:41,433 --> 00:22:43,133
you deserved.
449
00:22:46,133 --> 00:22:48,633
(inhales, exhales)
450
00:22:50,366 --> 00:22:51,626
Hey.
451
00:22:53,566 --> 00:22:55,196
I got your letter, El.
452
00:22:56,233 --> 00:22:58,533
Now, I-I know
453
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,000
that it must be so scary
454
00:23:01,066 --> 00:23:03,296
to be dealing with something very normal
455
00:23:03,366 --> 00:23:05,096
that you think might hurt you,
456
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:06,566
-but-- -Can we actually...
457
00:23:07,633 --> 00:23:09,303
Can we not?
458
00:23:09,366 --> 00:23:13,596
I-I-I-- I'm not trying to be resistant or, like, difficult.
459
00:23:13,666 --> 00:23:15,626
I just-- Look, I-I get it.
460
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:19,000
Maybe there is something fuckin'...
461
00:23:19,066 --> 00:23:21,126
I don't know. Now-now, I feel creepy.
462
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,000
Brooke: No, of course. No pressure.
463
00:23:24,066 --> 00:23:27,766
This doesn't seem like the path for today.
464
00:23:28,033 --> 00:23:29,733
Yeah-yeah, I don't think me talking about
465
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,600
touching myself will ever be the path.
466
00:23:31,666 --> 00:23:34,196
No, that's the thing, Eladio.
467
00:23:34,266 --> 00:23:36,366
A good parent can show up,
468
00:23:36,433 --> 00:23:38,403
especially in the uncomfortable moments...
469
00:23:38,466 --> 00:23:40,366
