It was inevitable, wasn't it? Hmm?

I guess the earth's round, right?

That's really funny. Yeah.

Eventually, you run away long enough, you're gonna...

Bump into him... again. Yeah, right.

That's funny. I know.

I think if it wasn't for gravity, I would have fell off the face of the earth.

I didn't think you were gonna call.

I'm glad you did.

It's crazy. I have so many questions I want to ask you...

But I don't know if I can.

[ Sigh ] Yeah, I know.

I don't know if I want to know any of the answers to any of them, you know?

That is some seriously bad territory, you know? Mm.

Did you ever think this would happen?

How many times have you been in Paris?

I've been here... wait.

I'm counting, 'cause I come like six times a year.

Yeah. And I don't know my time tables.

[ Laughs ] So I'm figuring 35 times, maybe.

6 times 8...48. 48 Times.

You're nervous. You only bite your nails when you're nervous.

The tabasco never worked. [ Both laugh ]

I started liking tabasco after that. Oh.

Everything's been so perfect. Yeah, it's great. Thank you.

Did you like the wine, sir? Oh. I'll probably have the whole bottle by the

by the time the night's over. [ Chuckles ]

It's just like it's other people's words.

Just try to make them sound pretty.

Are you still taking photos of beautiful girls?

No. Not anymore.

Oh, please don't tell me that that gets old.

It doesn't. I got old. You're not old.

I'm losing my eyesight. Or that's what they told me.

What are you talking about? I'm not seeing what they wanted to see.

You know, the editors, magazines. What are you seeing?

You, pieces of you in everything.

You're in everything, fucking everything,

Pieces of you

Your eyes, your nose, your mouth ...

and now I just shoot things.

Bridges... Sky?

Sky, yeah. Fucking walls?

Then you stay in Avignon.

Avignon is really amazing. You'll see.

They have this, like, theater festival.

You really should You're gonna love it.

And then take the car, and you go all along the coast.

You're gonna see all the buildings, the houses. It's old, like,

French Riviera. You're gonna love it.

The first place you should go is really over

a real road trip

through the deep France

Are you ready for it?

I'm sure you're gonna find what you're looking for.

Yeah, I'm going to the airport right now.

Uh... Um... At 8:00 or 9:00.

I'll be home around.

Bye.

Jesus.

So, where are we going?

To hell. [ Laughs ] Probably.

Okay, but before that.

Um... I need to get my itinerary.

Hold on. Just a second.

Whoa. You're kidding me right now, right?

No. I know, but just hold steer for a second.

[ Laughs ] What are you freakin' doing? [ Tires Screech ] AHH! AHH!

So I thought you were coming home tonight.

Why the delay? Yeah, he's a photographer.

How'd it go? Okay for now.

You?

She's in bed at 8:00

You make it sound like prison.

You said it, not me.

Let's enjoy our freedom while we can.

You make it sound so easy. What?

You know. This?

Yeah. But I left out the part about fucking you in the castle.

Come on.

Alright, come on. This way.

There's like, a dead bear over there or something.

I love you.

I love you.

What do you see when you look through that thing?

You're really gonna interview me?

No, I mean, it's not like an interview. It's just,

like a question, you know what I mean?

Put your head down. [ Camera shutter clicks ]

I mean, what are you looking at?

I don't know. You know, find the focus,

try find the frame, and you get a feeling.

You know?

Between those two things, I don't know.

I just take pictures.

So much for being an honest woman.

Shit. What?

You want to stop? No.

Are you sure? No.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Ah, What?

We can stop. We don't have to do this.

I want to do this.

Are you sure? Yeah.

Alright. [ Moaning]

Oh yeah. Oh, God.

I like the fuckin' wood floor, huh? [ Laughs ]

So crazy.

This is like...

I was hoping that I'd never see you again, you know and then

wanting to see you every morning I wake up.

If that makes any sense.

Complete sense.

Good, because nothing else does.

I know.

We just have to go with it,

because you can sit here and just think, and think, and think, and think.

I woke up this morning and I was just racking my brain,

thinking about all the moments we had, Mm..hmm.

all the moments that we didn't have.

I was just, like, walking... just going through the motions. What do you mean?

Oh, just little things.

I was always wondering what you were doing. Mm..hmm.

Simple things.

Grocery shopping, Mm..hmm.

if we were buying the same food... Mm..hmm.

...you know, to Christmases, they were so vacant.

It was like, I was walking through someone's else Christmas...

Mm..hmm.

..and I wasn't a part of it. Do you know?

Mm..hmm.

Then you think its all added up to this,

you think all the moments...

and everything every twist and turn...

every road even if you were lost...

Every day...every twist and turn was just a straight line back to you.

It had to be.

It had to be.

Beautiful.

It's like I keep trying to find a word to put to it and I just can't.

It's like, they just ground my feelings. Mm.

I know, I just can't stop thinking.

Yeah. Can I ask a question?

It depends what it what it is.

Um its a personal category...

Exclusively allocated to you. Okay.

Wasnt my name here before?

Yeah it was.

It was? Mm it had to evolve.

so you turned me into a wolf?

Well, look it wasn't ideal with your name on my arm.

I was trying to move on.

I had two options at the tattoo parlor.

It could have been a frog or a medieval dragon.

Yeah I know, but a frog doesn't imply what you thought that I was a bitch.

Really? Yeah.

Only you could draw that short line to that.

I wasn't even thinking that,

I didn't think it.

But the medieval dragon was huge. And?

And the flames were like, all the way to my fingerprints.

Would you like me to have a sleeve?

That would be hot. Would it?

Mm..hmm. It was only like, $50.

[ Chuckles ] Like on the boardwalk, I was pissed off.

Why? I was like, give me that wolf.

Yeah? Yeah.

Like he howled at the moon. That's cool.

They're loyal, wolves are, you know? Mm..hmm.

[ Sigh ] It's like, burned on you.

Yeah. I put my stamp. [ Both Laughs ]

He's a good looking wolf. I like him. Okay, well, you owe me one then.

Hello. I'm looking for my husband. Do you know where he's at?

Ma'dam, I don't know where your husband is.

You're his agent, you should know where he is.

It's an emergency?

No, I need to speak with him.

I look at his photos.

I have been for the past 15 years, and I

when I want to say something, I tell him good or bad.

I need to speak with him.

If it were his mother,

I would be very happy.

If I were his wife, I would be very concerned.

He takes photographs of dead pigeons.

Well, y..you're neither. [ Dial clicks ]

Hello?

I think that we should ...

Hmm? We should do what? You know.

Rob a bank?

No.

I mean, yeah, but before that.

Uh..oh. Uh..oh what?

Nothing. Nothing... Nothing.

I mean, let's just do this. Let's just be together.

What are you thinking?

I'm not. You're not what?

Thinking. About?

Quit. Quit?

No! I don't want you to quit. I love you.

I love you, too.

So then let's just do it.

Look, I know it's not gonna be easy, but look at us now.

I don't want to give this up.

So, how can you walk away from this again?

I couldn't, even if I tried.

So then?

I would want nothing more. [ Laughs ]

What's wrong with that? Nothing, it's awesome.

I love being lost, it makes my new day.

You're fucking wasted. [ Laughs ]

We're gonna walk. We're gonna walk this way. [ Laughs ]

I think this our hotel. Wait.

This is it, this is it, right? Uh, is this?

I don't know if this is it. Shit.

[ Chuckles ] What?

I don't know if this is our hotel. [ Chuckles ]

Where's the hotel? The number of the beast. Come on.

I got to pee really bad. Don't pee.

Alright, come on, come on, come on. Is that our hotel? I think it is.

Wait, wait, wait, you just stepped on a snail. Which is food here.

Aw! Come on.

Where? Right there.

I want to get laid, but it's hard to get it in... [ Lock clicks ]

Hey! [ French speaking ] I'm so sorry!

[ Laughs ] I'm so sorry!

Shhh. I'm so sorry!

Yeah? [ Sigh ] This one? Sorry! So sorry! [ Laughs ] I'm sss...

Hello? Yes, good morning.

You should have been back here. Oh, it's been a night.

Where have you been?

Huh? Your agent doesn't even know where you are.

She wasn't...she wasn't very nice. Are you sure you're alright?

If you keep asking me the same questions, I'm gonna keep saying the same thing.

Well, I...I miss you and just want to know that you're okay. Yeah I'm okay. No.

Alright. What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. Come back here.

Alright.

Alright.

I love you. Bye.

Who was that? Mm.

It was my hangover, that's what that was. Hmmm.

I ain't fucking so bright and fucking cheery this morning, good God!

Keep me up.

What happened?

She never stood a chance.

Why?

I never gave her one.

'Cause of us?

Because of us...

Yeah. You and me.

I was a wreck. I was a mess.

And she's standing there, you know?

The smoke clears, she's there.

What does she do?

Really? Sophia, really?

Do you really Why do you want to know?

I'm gonna find out sooner or later.

She's an artist.

A painter. Mmm.

You're both artists. Mmm.

I'm married myself.

One huge domestic battle.

What do you mean? No one likes to cook.

Uh..huh. Or do the dishes. [ Laughs ]

Yeah. I'll do your dishes.

We did not plan this.

You know I'm not implying that you wouldn't or you would,

or you wouldn't do anything for me.

Look at me.

Honestly?

It's just so crazy It's like, I'm jealous and

I dont even have a right to be.

Sophia, look at me.

I know you. Look ...

Look. Come on. What is it?

Sophia, I know you.

Stop.

Hey. Don't ask these questions.

They do us no good not here.

Not right now.

It's crazy, isn't it?

It's too crazy!

Life's so strange.

Kiss me. I want this jealous rage.

Come here. Kiss me in your jealous rage.

Are you sure you can handle it? Yes.

It might tumble you over. I don't care.

I love your sense of humor.

It's wrong.

Come here. Focus, like, right here and

Is it all out of focus? What?

Amazing that you get to turn my camera on me. [ Camera shutter clicks ]

All of me?

The image can make or break you. [ Chuckles ]

Oh wow, that's pretty. You're just already in focus. I am?

Love me in focus.

This is crazy, I don't like my camera turned on me.

Why? Because I don't.

But you are beautiful. It's like a gun. It's like a gun.

It can't be pointed at people.

Are you hungry? I'm starving.

Let's find some food. [ Exhales sharply ]

Shh. Where's where's the fridge?

Shh, you're making too much noise. Did you just bump into that?

Do you feel like a rat? 'Cause I do. Let's just grab.

Lets see if they have a refrigerator or something.

From age!

I feel like a mouse.

Come here, come here, come here, come here.

Here's all the utensils. We're gonna need some of this.

I got a fork and a knife. Okay but don't hand me the knife.

Holy crap, are you kidding me? You still have that phobia?

Yeah! You do?

You don't just let it go overnight. Okay.

I'll take the fork.

I'm telling you take the fucking knife.

Babe?

Hmm, what?

I found chopsticks.

Alright, great.

Holy shit What?

Go, what? What?

What? Just that

No, what do you have? I know, but open your mouth and close your eyes.

You'll get a big surprise. Come on.

No. [ Laughs ]

What do you have? Just do it!

What do you have? Just do it!

No, what do you have? Shhh. Trust me.

Just trust me.

Come on. Just trust me. Okay, go.

No I can't! I can't! I can't!

You know what?

Come on. No, I'm sorry.

I'm just, like, afraid it's disgusting. No it's not. Just...

Do you think I'd put something disgusting in your mouth? Hmm? Come on.

Okay, fine.

I wouldn't put anything in your mouth that I wouldn't put in mine.

Okay?

Close your eyes ... just do it.

I just want to be safe. Alright.

Don't bite down. [ Laughs ]

Don't bite down? What?

[ Laughs ] Just don't bite down. No.

I don't want you to choke, just don't bite down. [ Laughs ]

Don't choke?

This is like, heart attack time.

Just. Can you do this?

I'm completely committed. I'm completely committed. I'm here.

Open your mouth.

Wider.

Oh, it's chocolate! Oh, thank you.

Want some?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Come here.

He's the exact opposite of you.

The last thing I wanted was anyone that reminded me of you.

But that was a joke, because ...

everything reminded me of you.

Every time I opened a magazine, the first thing

I would do is look at the credits.

To see who took the photos.

What's the opposite of me?

He's a carpenter. Shit.

[ Laughs ] Okay, start the jokes.

There's hope. Why?

The boss' son was a carpenter.

Yeah, well, I don't think that he would sacrifice himself for very much.

Especially if it's something that doesn't benefit him.

Why no babies?

Because he wasn't you. Mm.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm not gonna lie to you, though.

I'm not thrilled listening to this.

I don't exactly like telling it to you, either. But I think

if we take this in small pieces,

we'll be able to swallow it.

Yeah.

I can take about tic tac size at this point.

Would it make you feel better if I told you I'll turn him into a frog? Mm..hmm.

How about a toad?

That's a pretty big frog. I don't know,

but that fucking tattoo...

His name was big.

Why the fuck would you tattoo his name on the inside of your thigh?

Because I wanted it to be racier. Right there.

Yeah? That wipes me out.

Well I figured it would help, you know?

Really? But, it didn't really.

That's just horrible.

Want to go for a walk?

Yeah. Let's go for a walk.

Don't let go off my hand.

What do you mean, don't let go off your hand?

Are you? Yep.

This is what they call the lovers leap here.

Alright Yeah.

Ready? Look at me. Hmm.

You okay? Yeah.

You can do this? Yeah.

Okay this is lovers leap. Yeah. Alright.

You're really paranoid. No, I'm no I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm here.

Okay, you see that one right there? Oh my God.

My God.

Do you see the one that's right beneath the cliff? Wait.

Do you see it?

Yeah, but that's why you have to jump out. You don't jump down.

You jump out.

But there's like, so many rocks down there.

That big one is the one to avoid.

Lovers leap you hold hands until you hit the water.

Can you do that?

I'm not going to let your hand go. Okay.

[ Screams ] Fuck! Fuck! Come on, babe. Why the fuck did we do this, again?

Whoa! Lordy! [ Laughs ] I can't even stand up. AHH! AAH!

Yeah.

Now I'm in Saint Tropez.

It's good, it's real pretty.

Your wife is calling me.

That's a very good sign, you are doing

what I asked you to do.

Kisses, okay. Fine.

There you go. Give it a little gas, give it a little gas.

Alright. Just a little gas. Oh ha ha! Okay, okay.

Turn the arm a little bit. That's so cool.

I dreamt that the bar was empty and I was thirsty ...

Kick it up halfway. Up?

Like that? There you go, see?

Means that it's neutral.

I love the way that you kiss me.

You want to learn? Yeah.

Do you? Yeah, no.

No, I totally want to learn.

No, y..y..you dont have it in gear, right?

No. It is green?

Yeah. Then, let the clutch out, let the clutch out...

Let the clutch out.

Let the clutch out? Yeah.

I dreamt that I was in Bali.

I wanted to write.

I love that you know everything about cars and bikes.

Yep.

Whoa.

Alright? Yeah.

You got it?

Now what do I do?

I'm gonna tell you to kick it in 2nd gear. I'm gonna push the clutch in.

I swear, I think its so hot.

I think I want to try it. Okay.

So, what you want to do is

engage the clutch. Got it.

Engaging clutch.

I love your lips.

As I'm releasing the clutch, I'm gonna put gas.

The gas, but not very much.

I don't need a lot? No, not a lot at all.

So, this will start releasing it. Am I gonna be okay with balance?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll catch you. Okay.

Just start releasing the start releasing. Whoa! Whoa! [Engine revs]

Where is everybody?

At the mall.

Oh.

Don't. Come on. Don't knock on their doors.

Why? There's zombies here.

Do you know what?

Huh? I heard there's a great bed&breakfast over here.

Really? Yeah.

Really? No. [ Laughs ]

Come on.

Where are all the people at?

Descruction, that's my period I'm going through right now.

Don't be knocking on people's door.

Why?

'Cause there's zombies all over here.

Can you do something for me? Alright.

That that doesn't work, but that's cool.

That doesn't work at all.

Hurry up, I'm posing. Okay.

Wait. Am I catching the light?

This depressing.

It is.

Should we consider shoving these beds together? Mm. Okay.

I don't really like single bed sex. [ Laughs ]

Really? Yeah.

Hello? Hey it's me.

Lola wants to talk to her daddy.

No, it's not a good time. Don't, don't, don't.

Daddy wants to talk to you.

Hello, sweetheart. Hi, daddy!

It's really hot. Daddy's good.

When are you coming home? I'll be home real soon.

When I went outside and saw a raccoon... And we named it Coco Chanel.

Oh, um I miss you, daddy. I miss you too, sweetheart.

Daddy loves you. I love you, dada.

Bye. I love you. Bye bye.

She's beautiful. Thank you.

She turned 8 in March. [ Sighs ]

She just loves to throw the kid in

every time she loses ground. Every time.

She keeps you there? Yeah.

She's your heart, no? Very much so.

You're a good father? Sometimes.

I don't think I'd be winning any awards

for the last few days though.

I think you judge yourself too harshly.

What's wrong? You don't want to do this any longer?

It's just, there would be so much to overcome.

Taking all my love.

I'm sucking it out of you.

That guy over there.

Really? Yeah.

I don't think...

He looks like what?

Like he's... staring at us. Seriously, no one's looking at us.

No one could give a shit.

It's like he knows. What do you think he knows.

I don't even know how to answer that question.

You know what? What?

And if they do. What is he thinking?

I think he knows about us, about what we're doing. They don't know.

Saying our decisions ... He's over there.

He's the owner of this, like, little booth or something.

Where? Can you point?

They were frowning upon us.

He's what? Frowning.

He's judging? He was.

Quit. He's not looking at us.

There's victims and innocent parties.

No one in the market is looking at you, or looking at us.

Well then, what do you call his expression?

'Cause he's old.

Once we expose this...

once make it real...

When we expose it to everything...

the harsh sun,

disease.

And they will come after us.

I just don't like people staring at me.

No one in that market is staring at us.

We've been on our own little island.

And once they come, we'll be walking around shell shocked.

Love doesn't conquer.

It's not some kind of a weapon you wield.

And that's exactly what we'd have to do.

We need a miracle.

I love you.

No matter how many words I use or reuse...

It all ends with the same sentence.

Are you trying to write yourself out of this?

No. Tell me the truth.

No.

This is my heart. Don't.

It's yours. I'm not protecting it anymore.

Don't... Don't.

Shit.

What? Fuck... [ Whispers ]

I know. Do you remember when we used to argue, what you would say?

No.

You'd say, let's just fuck it out.

I did? Yeah.

I'd like to. [ Moans ]

No one will ever love me like you do.

Yeah, this is her.

Yeah.
