you seem like a singer.
So what are you taking?
What classes are you taking?
I'm taking
the Greeks, the Greek...
Greek singing with Christos.
That one, and maybe
a few dance classes.
I've mainly just been wandering
around the woods, actually.
She just wanted to get
away from the madness.
That's a great base.
What is this?
Slivovitz,
it's like a plum brandy.
Bulgarian, Balkan plum
brandy, slivovitz.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Wait, who was the
woman that we were talking to
earlier who was, said
that she sang with Merita?
Marianne said she
sings with Corinna,
from like 30 years ago
or something like that.
Can you do me a favor?
Can you not tell people
that I just got
out of something?
Is that okay?
I just don't want to like...
I didn't say
anything to anyone.
Well you were like, you know,
it was like an
introduction to someone.
I mean I was being
introduced to her, and then
my introduction was
like, "Oh, she just got
out of of this relationship."
I'm sorry.
I don't want to make
it into a big deal,
but I don't want to be introduced
as someone who just got...
I'm sorry, I can totally see
how that would feel
strange for you.
I'm sorry, that was
kind of insensitive.
I guess I was just
trying to open up the,
the door for you to talk openly
about what's been going on
with you, so I wanted...
Well I've slept with
like over the course
of four years.
And like, you'd have
to be a f***ing saint
to stay with someone
like that, you know?
What?
You'd have to be
like a saint to stay...
You'd have to be a saint
to stay with someone who's
trying to get rid of
you for four years.
But it's just f***ed up
because he was the one
who actually was
totally in love with me,
and I was the one
who pushed him away.
Because I didn't
just have the...
The guts to leave him.
- Yeah, I know he's in love
with you, but it seems
like it's gone on and on
got to a point where...
You know what I mean.
This guy is so annoying.
Yeah, it's okay.
But I mean, do you
know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's fine, we don't have
No, that's why I
want to talk about it.
I want to understand.
I feel like that's going to
help you through the entire...
Let's just drink, okay?
- Isolde.
I have to slowly be
pried open, you know.
Let's just finish these
drinks and then we'll dance.
Maybe I'll find some,
like, cute banjo-violinist
and we can all go...
- That guy plays a banjo.
Skinny-dipping in
the pool or whatever.
- He's cute.
- There's a waterhole.
Who?
- That guy is so cute.
Do you think?
- No, he's...
No.
- He is so cute.
I'm sorry, not the timing,
the time and place.
It's okay.
I'm following you,
you're following me,
neither of us know's
what we're doing.
My name's Steph.
I don't want to be at the end
of the line, it
makes me nervous.
Did I, I have a habit of...
- Hi.
- - Hi.
This is exhausting.
It was a pleasure
dancing with you.
She put it down in
front of my father,
and just sort of looked up
at him expectantly, and as...
And he was like
As she was making
eyes at my father,
the bunny got up and ran away.
The bunny was just
paralyzed with fear.
That's it, it was fine.
You missed a good,
you missed a good pet story.
What was it?
I can't even tell it.
Which one,
the triple homicide?
Oh, now you
ruined the punch line.
My cat brutally
murdered my parakeets,
three all in one afternoon.
Nice.
- Yeah.
How are you?
- Good.
- - No, I mean...
No, I mean, how are you?
Like, how are you
since everything?
When?
New York in that
really awful house?
Oh, yeah, she's fine.
Grandma, she just needs
to switch her medications.
No no no,
and you were with those guys?
Did you go to the
hospital, or end up
filing a report of any kind?
Oh, oh, I just remembered it.
Someone taught me when I was
in first grade, and it was...
A bad joke, it was
like a dirty joke.
And it was, "Why did
Raggedy Ann get kicked out
"of the, the toy box?
"Because she sat on
Pinocchio's head."
F***.
You disappeared
after our dance.
I was looking for you, I was
like, "I want to dance more!"
Dancing.
Yeah, cool.
Well, I'm headed to lunch.
Cool.
Because they are eating.
- What time is it?
- - Lunch time.
Do you want company?
- Yeah, sure.
- All right.
Oh sh*t!
What happened?
It was too much caffeine,
that is disgusting.
I'm so sorry.
- You're just, "I just OD'ed.
"My body is rejecting it.
"It's like a bad transplant."
Would you be friends with
me if I was like this?
I don't think I could
be friends with you.
Okay.
more likely to be friends
with you if you were like
that, than you would be
likely to be friends
with me if I was like...
Big set-up.
You're not going to like this.
It actually scares
me a little bit.
I think I know what's coming.
I think I know what's coming.
No, but it's worse
than with other people.
I really have to...
I cannot wait for this.
I cannot wait, you've really
built it up very, very high.
Don't look at me for a second.
I can't stop looking at you.
You'll be able
to stop shortly.
- Oh.
- Oh sh*t.
Hey, Steph.
- It changes your voice, too.
You are so beautiful.
Thank you so much.
I love the smacking
of your lips and tongue.
Yeah, it's really good,
it's very rodentine.
Don't I have almost like...
It's gorgeous, it's gorgeous.
It's gorgeous.
The four so it's a little
bit faster, so it's going...
Because it's a lot faster, okay?
So let's practice that, two
nines into a faster four.
One two, one two, one two three.
One two, one two, one two three.
So let's listen to it.
It's in us, you know?
And these are like,
very old rhythms
that are, like, biological.
Even the seven and the three.
And the idea, the
idea that a four...
So what do you
do when you hit someone
immovable like me and it
just doesn't even affect me?
- I'm not hitting you hard.
- - Can you?
Yeah, hit
me like it would be...
Run away!
Cool, cool.
Ouch, God.
Man, I am going to fall
asleep on this table.
I am so sleepy.
Do you want your cigarette?
Yeah.
I think it's the only thing
that's keeping me up right now.
What is this stuff?
What is that drink
called again, schluzo?
Slivovitz.
You didn't have that much.
No, I didn't.
How far are we?
Sarah?
I feel like you were the one who
was kind of leading
us, so where...
I don't know where we're going.
Maybe...
Maybe this way.
What do you
mean "maybe this way?"
I mean I don't,
I'm not 100 percent sure.
I need to pee.
You're absorbed.
Like in that you're no longer...
Jesus, man.
I need to pee.
Where's the, did
you bring the wine?
I have it, it's in my hand.
Did you drink all of it?
Because I don't,
because I still...
We still need some when
