I think I lost you,

Spring, hello?

- I don't have bed bugs, ugh, psycho.

(grunting)

(dramatic music)

- Hi.

- Hi Jarred Hi.

Where is the address for the casting?

- Hi!

- Hi.

Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late.

- You should have called.

You bring your heels?

- I didn't.

- You didn't bring your heels?

- They're at the cleaner's.

- Oh, at the dry cleaner's, fascinating,

get in let's go, go.

Straighten up straighten up.

Stop, what is that sh*t on your face?

- This is what I mean about cleaner's,

I have a bed bug infestation.

But don't worry.

- Don't you worry.

- They're gone.

- Get off.

- They spread in fabric but you're safe

because I take precautions,

I washed my outfit

this morning.

- Get out, quickly.

- Yeah, it didn't.

(coughing)

It didn't go well.

- You can't f***ing afford

to do this anymore, okay?

The clients aren't gonna put up with it.

Just f***ing show up on time.

Wear the f***ing wardrobe

they ask you to wear,

and be the f***ing girl

they want you to be.

- I don't, I don't think

I can keep doing this.

I'm sorry.

- Don't be a f***ing quitter,

try harder.

F***ing die, ugh, f***!

- Do you read the bible?

I read the bible.

- I'm an atheist.

- That's okay, you can't not love the

because you don't believe,

then what kind

of person are you?

Last week,

I was feeling suicidal,

but then I went home and I prayed,

I'm praying for you now.

I used to be a cry baby.

I used to cry, cry, cry,

and then someone told

me your soul is home.

I couldn't believe in

what I couldn't see.

I believe in miracles.

You are my miracle.

(cat purring)

- Sugar?

- Yeah, thanks.

Ah that's good.

- Hmm.

Thank you dad.

- Bye.

(soft dramatic music)

- What, you don't like the drawing?

Hey hey hey,

Toni's start at $15 and

I'm gonna haul a 15.

Picture's already posted

on Instagram and Facebook.

Don't wait too long, it's a

limited time offer for a week.

- No thank you.

- Oh, it wasn't the

least bit interesting,

it was idiotic.

- Fair enough.

- I mean you weren't just

one of those dumb models,

if you were we wouldn't be friends but,

those photos were disgusting.

Well not you necessarily, but the photos

were f***ing awful they were unbearable.

I can't tell you how glad I am

that you're done with that phase.

It's so ugly.

When you told me you got scouted,

I was so suspicious

that suddenly you wanted

to be famous.

- I just wanted good photos,

I never wanted to be famous.

- I've wanted to be famous.

- Yes you have.

- But no just famous for being famous,

to be recognize for what I do,

but, that doesn't interest me anymore.

God I used to be obsessed

with it but it's petty,

it innate it's for people

that need to get a life.

China has changed everything.

Wake up.

- Stop.

- Wake up Irene.

- Stop!

- Wake up!

- Stop.

- You're not famous.

- I know.

I know that.

Arthur called my modeling

pictures disgusting.

- Don't worry about the pictures,

you tried being who

people wanted you to be

and you learned to say no.

It's good.

It's normal.

Arthur loves criticizing you.

Now he's leaving, and I must say,

I'm really glad about that.

- Thanks for reminding me,

he's the only interesting person I know.

- He belittles you,

and when you're with him you

just lose all your confidence.

Look forget about him,

you're on different parts.

Come on.

(crickets chirping)

There we go.

- I've always wanted to look in here.

- I use to have to like erase everything

over and over again, and

then one day I just said,

you know what, why are you

second guessing yourself

when you have everything

you could f***ing need

into yourself.

And once I did that,

once I gave into that,

there was no f***ing stopping me,

on the last day of class,

professor professor Wyatt

says there's sentiment in your work.

The unteachable

magic f***ing ingredient,

and like I got it.

- Wait, where's the sentiment,

everywhere?

- Oh yeah all the, that one.

Yeah that one, that one.

- I didn't that you even wanted to draw,

this seems like it's

really out of the blue.

- I know I never gave myself a chance.

- I'm sad that you're moving

so far away,

are you gonna miss me?

- I need a cigarette Oh

my god, I'm so excited.

I'm getting out of here wooh!

Hey you should come with me.

- To China?

- Yes.

Yeah you would love it there

you'll f***ing love Beijing,

and you can make, you can

teach english there, and--

- But what about the language problem,

I don't speak Chinese.

- I could teach you all that.

- You can, you'll teach me?

- Yes.

- I had no idea you wanted

me to come with you.

- Of course I want you to come with me.

- Well in that case, I'll

study mandarin for a year

and just leave up.

- Are you f***ing serious?

- I'm f***ing serious.

- F***ing serious?

- I'm f***ing serious.

This is crazy.

- It's so crazy but it's so right.

- I feel good.

- You feel good.

- This feels good.

- It feels right, right?

- I feel you.

- You feel me?

- And I feel this.

- You feel this?

- And it feels right.

- That's it, we're gonna live together,

we're gonna make art,

we're gonna be part

of the community.

I really didn't wanna leave you behind.

- Me neither, but we'll

have to convince my parents.

- Well, yeah, I'll take care of that,

I'll call them tonight,

- You will?

- Yes!

- Go call them.

- I'll call them tonight.

I'll make 'em an offer

they can't refuse.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah I'm giving you the

life they never could.

- So?

- So what darling?

- What do you think about

Arthur, China, everything?

- Do you really need to ask me that?

You know I am not happy.

You're just following your friend

like you've done since

you were 10 years old.

- You don't think I could benefit

from moving to another country,

learning a new language,

immersing myself in a new culture.

- Absolutely, you know

that I'm all for that.

But why not think of going

to London, or Paris, Berlin.

- It's too easy,

everything's been done there.

I want a fresh start.

Arthur will help me

- So it's the same?

Oh, story, will you stop

dragging Arthur Arthur Arthur,

when will you finally

get a mind of your own?

He's feeling scared about

this whole thing

and of course he wants to

take you along.

Have a friend, have a buddy.

Somebody to support him.

I would like to see you

follow what you need to do,

and take the lead.

- Can I come in?

Can I come in?

- Come in yes of course you can come in.

You really don't have to knock.

Hi.

Sit.

So?

- Mom and I talked about Arthur today.

She said that you

weren't too excited about

me moving off to China with him.

- And that couldn't have

been surprising to you.

- No, I guess not.

I thought about it, and

I think communication

is going to be a very

difficult all of my life,

wherever I go,

whatever language I speak.

- I mean don't understand

in general, other people.

- But I do wanna make something

that speaks to others.

- And what is that?

- I don't know yet, I
