Original subtitles

- Being on Rent Me, I was finally getting jobs

without Chayse as a middleman.

Pimps are nosy, controlling, full of unsolicited advice,

and they always want your money.

They're like preachers.

My least favorite clients are the ones who play

that it's unlocked, just walk-in game.

They're pushy submissives who think they're giving us

an element of surprise, but I'm never surprised.

Hello?

It's room service.

Come inside and shut the door.

- Hey.

Smile.

What's so funny?

- We have a mutual friend who hates it when random people

tell him to smile.

- Oh, our mutual friend sounds like a real douche.

Thanks.

If this is too intense for you,

leave right now.

Otherwise, come inside and shut the door.

I didn't comply because I'm dumb enough

to fall for reverse psychology.

I did it because I'm hoping for a surprise.

Good, now lock the latch on the door.

Normally I'd say something snarky to this guy.

Like maybe a gay "Jigsaw" reference.

But that's what he wants me to do.

There's a camera on the laptop.

- I know.

Oops, I didn't notice the camera.

But I'm sure I would've clocked it pretty quickly.

Walk into the camera

and show me your face.

I wanna make sure you're cute.

Cameras don't bother me anymore.

These days, it's safe to assume that every single trick

you have is being filmed.

- Filming me is gonna cost you extra.

- So what's up?

Guys like you are never here this early.

- Guys like me?

- Guys with jobs.

- Well, I am no longer one of those guys.

- Congratulations.

Wait, fired or quit?

- Laid off.

- Well, I just got laid on.

God, you're like a little mini-X.

Don't touch the camera.

- Okay, I'm chill.

Sit on the bed.

Now take off your clothes.

- Can you get him another one of those on me?

- I don't need charity yet.

- Buying a drink for a hot guy isn't charity.

- So how's the hustling business?

- Why don't you ask your ex-boyfriend?

- Touche.

- Sorry, when you're raised by strippers

and drag queens, your nails get pretty sharp.

Strip.

- Sorry, I need to take care of business first.

What, can't you hold it?

- No, I mean, I need to get paid.

This is as far as I go without seeing some cash.

Oh, that.

It's on the nightstand.

- Okay.

Strip it is.

- I'm sorry, let's start over.

- Let's.

- Thank you for the drink.

How are you, Chayse?

- I'm doing great.

Sorry about the job.

That's what's great about mine.

Can't get fired.

- But you can get not hired.

And thanks, but I hated my job anyway.

- Great, then it was for the better.

- But I'll just wind up at another job that I hate.

- Why?

- Because, Chayse, I don't know

what will make me happy.

- What does X think about all of this?

- He doesn't know.

- Oh.

Did it just happen just now?

- No, last week.

That's hot.

Now I want you to take off your underwear.

By the way, you're so hot.

Go ahead, take 'em off.

- I could do that.

Or you could come out here and do it for me.

You wouldn't like me.

- Look, whatever it is you're hiding in there,

there's nothing I haven't seen before.

I'm not very sexy.

- Everyone is sexy.

I guarantee you are sexy.

No, not me.

- Why don't you come out here

and let me tell you what I think is sexy about you.

You're just saying that

because you're a,

because you are what you are.

- I'll be honest.

Look, you already paid me.

I could just put on a show and leave.

Right?

- I don't know why I haven't told him.

- Oh, I do.

- Enlighten me.

- You haven't told him

because you don't have an answer to the obvious question.

What next?

- Ah, is that it?

- No, there's more.

You don't want him to be part of figuring out

what's next because you wanna

own this next part of your life.

You want it to be completely independent from him.

Part of it's to convince him you don't need him anymore

but mostly it's to convince you

you don't need him.

- Are all hustlers aspiring psychologists?

- No, most of us are just drug addicts.

- Holy shit, how old are you?

- 15, wait, don't leave.

- I'm sorry, kid.

You're gonna have to play To Catch a Predator

with someone else.

- Stay here, I'll go back in the bathroom.

This is illegal.

- Prostitution is illegal.

- This is more illegal.

- If you try to leave, I'll scream.

- Well, I asked for a surprise.

- I'm flirting with you.

- I know.

- I'll stop if you want.

- Stop.

- You're blushing.

- Try me.

- Fine.

I have to go to work anyway.

- Chayse.

It was nice talking to you.

- Thanks.

- Look, there's no need to get loud.

It's just you scared me.

This is not gonna happen.

It's not just illegal.

It's wrong.

- You're such a hypocrite.

You were exactly my age when you lost your virginity

to some guy in his 40s.

- How did you know that?

- Your Rent Me profile links to your blog.

- I didn't know that was still up.

- I know what I'm doing.

I want to have sex.

It's my choice. - I'm all for that.

It's just, I think you should be doing it

with someone your own age.

- For some reason, Rent Me doesn't have any profiles

for 15-year-old prostitutes.

- Look, in a couple of years,

you are gonna have a ton of sex.

Someone as smooth as you

is gonna get all types of action.

- I have neuroblastoma.

It's cancer.

- I know what it is.

- A couple of years isn't very realistic for me.

- Look, can I put on my clothes?

And then we can just sit and talk?

I promise I won't go anywhere.

- First, gimme your phone.

So I know you won't run out the door.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Now go get dressed.

♪ Uh huh, love is just a word

♪ That all the nonbelievers

- I didn't know you were working here.

- I work everywhere I am.

♪ What I could do for you

♪ So baby, lemme turn you into a dreamer ♪

- Actually, I don't have cancer.

- What the fuck?

- I just didn't want you to leave.

- Gimme my phone.

- I tried to kill myself.

- Give me my phone.

How?

- Pills.

I took all my grandma's arthritis medicine.

And a whole bottle of vitamin C.

I thought any kind of pills would kill you

if you took a whole bottle of them.

It took forever to swallow them all.

- Why would you do that, um, what's your name?

- Charlie.

- I knew why.

He's the kind of gay nerd

that asshole jock's dream about bullying.

Bullies peak in middle school.

Kids like Charlie don't blossom until they're adults.

If they can make it that far.

- People have picked on me ever since I can remember.

And I could deal with it.

Then I came out of the closet.

I waited until I was 13.

- Waited?

- I knew if I came out, the bullies might get worse

but I thought at least I won't be alone anymore.

I'll finally have some friends.

I watched all those "It gets better" videos,

and there's a GSA at our school.

I thought the kids there would have to be my friends.

But the gay kids are worse.

They all called me a basic bitch and wanna-be gay.

And they're embarrassed to be around me.

I mean, if no one in the GSA will talk to me,

then it's just not gonna happen.

- This kid wasn't being bullied for being gay.

He was being bullied for being really bad at it.

- There is nothing wrong with being a basic bitch.

I'm the most basic bitch there is.

- What's that, the Trevor hotline?

- No, it's my number.

Don't ever feel like you don't have anyone to talk to.

You know what?

I am gonna write down the number for the Trevor Project.

Because if you can't reach me, you try them.

You never know, you might be surprised.

- So we can like hang out?

- Yeah.

Only if we're fully clothed.
