You okay?

Yeah, yeah yeah, I

am now, definitely.

Thank you for...

For talking earlier.

I was just a little nuts.

I'll call you later.

Thanks.

No, don't thank me.

You don't have to thank me

for talking to you, man.

I know, I just...

You know what I mean.

All right, man.

All right.

We'll talk later.

(jazz music0

Everyone has their thing.

None of us is perfect.

We're all f***ed up, you know?

I mean we're all

severely f***ed up.

Lisa, you ever read a

book called Blameless?

No, what's it about?

American can't stop bitching

about their freedoms, right?

Give us back our

freedoms and what not.

So our government

says all right,

that's a wrap, shuts

down, goes home,

peace out, have your f***ing

freedom back, a**holes,

and watch what happens.

It's a pig f***.

Everyone starts bitching they

need their government again.

Grass is always greener, right?

Yeah, something like that.

What time is it?

Three o'clock.

Back in the day as a kid?

That was the best, right?

Remember that feeling?

Bell rings, school was out.

Hang out with your boys,

make out with your girl.

Everything was so

uncomplicated back then.

I miss that, I really really do.

He's an a**hole, what can I say?

How do you deal with it?

Dude, I've got

much hidden, you know

my f***ing wife's texting

me everywhere I go.

What?

Why is...

No, see, I'm

thinking it's something

like P.I. sh*t too, right?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

You think she's...

Yeah, I think

she's got somebody,

yeah, she's got...

Why?

What the f***?

Thank you.

Hey, come on!

Point your camera somewhere

else, guy, all right?

Sorry, sorry, I

was just taking...

No, I got your

number, sh*t-head!

Okay, you can go back and tell

my wife there's

nothing wrong with

two guys having a drink in the

afternoon, okay?!

F***ing douchebag.

By wrong you mean gay?

Come on, let it fly,

man, let it fly.

Are you playing

with me, a**hole?

Relax, take it easy, I'm not,

you think I'm

tailing you, I'm not.

I'm really not, honestly.

I mean he may be

tailing ya, but I'm not.

What?!

What, 'cause I wear

cologne, I'm a fag?

- Is that it?

- I did not say that!

Yeah yeah yeah, whatever.

No no no, now just

shut up for a second,

yeah, is it because

I'm here with

this well dressed man?

You said plenty, friend.

Okay, you know what, I don't

know what just happened

here, I really don't,

but have another

one on me, okay?

All right, truce?

We're gonna be

friends today, good.

What are they drinking?

Cosmopolitans.

I don't know why you can't just,

you know what I'm saying,

be yourself, right?

What did you say?!

Hey, hey hey!

Ah, f***!

Okay, so that

explains a few things.

'Cause you mouthed off,

you took a beating.

Why do you think you did that?

I don't know.

You think that

she's cheating on you?

I know she is.

I'm positive of it.

I'm also into this new

photography project.

Everything else I

do is sh*t, this

might be too, but I'm

into it regardless

of my own personal

safety net withstanding.

You wanna talk about that?

You still love your wife?

Yes I do.

Honestly?

Oh, you mean honestly.

Then no.

I'm saying one person can

never satisfy all

the needs, impulses,

whatever you wanna call them of

another at any given time.

Well these things go in...

Yeah yeah yeah, I

get it, everything

goes through its

phases, its cycles,

I get that, I do.

Early in a thing, it's

fun, sexy, hot, right?

Then later it's cozy.

But then what happens when you

go through a phase of wanting

something new,

what happens then?

Like I said, David...

It's too much!

It's too much for one person,

too much responsibility, it is.

And I get bored too

f***ing easy, Sean.

What does that tell you?

What does that tell me?

Nothing.

Nothing new.

Everything gets

boring eventually,

that's what it tells me.

Okay, come on, what else?

You come on.

Come on!

You come on, you come on,

just tell me what to do, Sean!

Can you do that for me please?

I'm asking you, just

tell me what to do,

say the one thing out loud that

I should do, how hard is that...

Well for one, David,

that's not my job.

But to your point,

yes, people do change,

but that doesn't

mean that suddenly

the person you're with is no

longer right for you, I...

How old are you now, Sean?

I'm 51.

51, and you got married in your

mid-twenties, right?

Sure, when I was 26.

And you had kids right away?

Yeah, but you're not...

You were ready for all

that at 26, were you?

Look, I don't think

anyone's ready...

You were manipulated into it

just a little bit, right?

Seriously.

I don't think manipulation

is the right word,

I ask the questions, all right?

All right.

But in fairness,

your environment does

influence your

decisions to a degree.

Listen, people want answers now.

Now now now, like you.

Right, I pay you

for that, answers,

'cause I tend to

make more questions

for myself than anything.

Well let's talk about that.

You say she's cheating on you.

What question does that pose?

Question of why perhaps?

Why him?

What are you doing?

Clean sheets.

You gonna stay here?

It's early.

Chris, no, I'm

not staying, relax.

Hey, man.

Hey, it's cool.

She just walked in,

said she had to...

Clear her head and sh*t.

You know how she gets.

Good, man, good, okay.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah yeah, I am now.

Definitely, thank you for...

For talking earlier.

I was just a little nuts.

Anyway, thanks.

No, don't thank me.

You don't have to thank me

for talking to you, man.

I know, I just...

You know what I mean.

All right, man.

All right.

We'll talk later.

Was that...

Your boyfriend.

Yes it was.

Your best friend?

Oh man, that is f***ed up.

Listen, it's a bad beat, man.

It is a bad beat, she's

just not right for you.

David, would you please put

that cigarette out?

There's this story or fable,

whatever it is, anyway,

cold and rainy night,

guy's walking alone

down the street

drenched, shivering, miserable,

he walks by this house,

sees this warm glow

coming from inside,

a nice fireplace,

all these couples and they're

having a nice dinner party.

Guy thinking man,

that looks so nice.

I wish I was in there

with someone special.

Only all the guys

inside are going

where's my jacket, I gotta

get the f*** out of here.

That's funny.

The worst part about

all this, Sean,

is knowing 'cause

they didn't need to know.

I mean this is probably gonna go

nowhere anyway,

but now, see now,

I know she's been

f***ing my best friend,

then coming home

to me and chilling

on my nice mattress

that I bought for her.

I love that mattress,

Sean, and now

I gotta move out

and I don't wanna

move that f***ing thing

much as I love it,

it's a fifth floor

walk up with a busted

ass freight elevator.

You'll get new furniture, David.

And you know what makes me

wanna rip my f***ing face off?!

I never even loved her.

I didn't, but this

time, this time I said

I'm gonna be the good
