- Yes.

Get your f***ing hands off me you nobody

you f***ing loser.

- You're the f***ing nobody.

- Get out of my space b*tch.

You don't deserve me, get the f*** off

of yourself.

- Imagine you're wearing

a pair of shoes,

kick them off, and we're gonna put on

a brand new pair of shoes, they're heavy

they're dirty, they're dark,

these shoes are called pain,

lace them up.

Every horrible thing

that you've been through,

heartbreak, deceit, cheating, lies,

people that call themselves

your friends.

We all have this,

we all have BS.

Honor it, sink into it.

Without that pain, you're nothing.

- Oh my god killer workout uh?

- Yeah.

- God, Keith always kicks my ass.

- Yeah it's my first time here but--

- Yeah don't you just love

his philosophy about pain?

It just like makes me

wanna like cut myself,

you know, just like the old days.

(laughing)

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

God, are you a model?

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- I just got signed.

- I knew I was gonna

meet another model today.

- You did?

- Yeah I had a dream about it.

Isn't that crazy?

What's your name?

- Irene.

- Hi, I'm Spring.

Hmm, what's your number,

we should hangout.

- Hello?

Hey you, you, hey!

Hi, hum hi,

do you have these in an extra small?

'cause this small is

like running way too big.

- Okay, I'd suggest actually

sticking with that size,

it's gonna shrink up in the wash.

- What did you just say to me?

Did you just call me fat?

Can I see a manager please?

Can I see a real person?

- [Irene] I'm a real person.

- I'm not talking to you b*tch.

- Hi.

- Oh, thank got, thank God,

Jesus, you should really

watch who you have

working here.

- I know, so cute.

- I know right, I love them.

- Absolutely, love them.

- Fix your head b*tch.

- Come with me.

- You've been here seven years right?

- Yeah.

- You're never fed up?

- No,

I'm pretty easy going.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

I was out jogging the other day,

and I turned the corner

and there was this guy,

on a lazy chair eating

cat food out of a bowl,

it's f***ed up but I felt

like Buddha in the city

seeing reality.

And I just promised

myself that I'd appreciate

what I have.

- Cool.

I guess.

- Yeah, you should try that.

- You're not, the type to be angry?

- No, I'm not the angry type,

I've been smoking pot

since elementary school.

- You got fired?

- Yeah.

- Seriously?

- Why?

- From my day job, not a

modeling gig, just my day job,

and selling clothes.

- It sounds like a terrible job.

- It's really not, it's

not a terrible job.

I, whatever, thank you so

much for picking me up today.

- Thank you, Oh my god

I need more girlfriends

seriously, you know like

girls are just so hard

to be friends with you

just can't trust them,

like one second they're

like your best friend

and the next minute they're

just like a total b*tch,

you know, hold on, I gotta text Hartley.

- Oh who's Hartley?

- He's my boyfriend.

- Oh.

- Do you have a boyfriend?

- No I don't.

- Do you want one?

- Not really no.

- Have you never been in love?

- No.

- Really?

- Never, never.

- I think I'm in love with Hartley.

- He's a self taught physical trainer,

and he's an actor, like aspiring,

and he's a poet.
