Manhattan Romance Page #3

that's my own sh*t.

That's your own sh*t?

My teabag says,

"You are unlimited. "

You are unlimited.

What does mine say?

Trust creates peace.

- Oh, see?

- That's appropriate.

Can we put the camera away now?

I know, but sometimes

I just wanna be here.

Okay.

Just the two of us.

Without a camera between us.

- That sounds good.

- Yeah.

- Good breath.

- I know.

- I'm getting better at this.

- You are.

It's so interesting

to do this, isn't it?

It's good. Feels good.

Yeah, 'cause it's funny,

the first few times we did it,

it's like, the eye contact

always seems to be like,

we should either make out

or cry or you know...

- Yeah.

- But...

- You don't have to talk.

- You don't have to do it.

- I should shut up now.

- You don't have to qualify it.

See? So much better.

Totally.

We'll take it

to the next level.

All right.

That's good.

- That's nice.

- Yeah?

- That's good.

- Wow.

- Feel good?

- That's amazing.

Yeah, that's like third-eye

to third-eye, you know?

It's like kind of

an inner seeing.

- Do you wanna, um...

- I like it.

Do you wanna trade massages

right now?

I would love that.

You mean like right here?

- No, let's go upstairs.

- Okay.

- Should we bring our tea?

- Bring your tea.

Trust is peace.

Oh, that feels good.

- Really?

- Oh, my God.

Yeah, you got

some tension going on.

- Whew!

- Wow.

Too much?

- It's a lot.

- It's a lot?

It's a lot, but in a good way.

Oh, my goodness.

- Yeah, you need that.

- Ooh!

This shirt is kinda

getting in the way here.

Do you wanna take it off

and then we can use the oil?

All right, sure.

Yeah, let's do that.

Let's see,

this looks like good...

- massage oil.

- See where the oil is?

Yeah, it's pretty handy here.

You must get massages a lot.

Well, sometimes,

when I'm lucky.

It's a nice thing to do.

All right, here we go.

This'll be nice.

- Do these go up?

- Mm-hmm.

I need more oil for this.

- It's a very kissable back.

- Oh, okay.

- It's just part of the massage.

- Oh, okay.

It's a very...

special technique I have.

I see. Uh...

- Danny.

- What?

- I...

- What?

- I think maybe we should stop.

- What do you mean?

This is just getting going.

Yeah, I just, I'm not really...

- I think we should stop.

- What? Really?

Yeah, yeah, I just, um...

I just don't wanna be

sexual right now.

- Oh, no, I don't either.

- Okay, good.

It just doesn't...

Hate isn't what wants to happen.

Oh, okay, sorry.

I just get a little excited

because you're so beautiful.

Oh, that's so nice.

That's so nice.

Okay, so much love,

so much love.

Yeah.

Mmm!

- This is nice.

- Yeah.

Although, it still does

feel slightly sexual,

I understand, I understand.

Just gonna help myself

out here where I can.

See? There we go.

Perfect. That looks great.

- Now can I hug you?

- Absolutely,

- Now it's like we're cousins.

- Okay.

Mmm.

Yeah, this is great.

I don't feel anything.

Well, um, we were...

should I look at you

or should I look at your thing?

Into the lens or at your face?

- No, you can look at me.

- Okay.

Um, I was into her for a...

a long time, a while.

- She was?

- Did I talk during your turn?

- Um, yeah, you did.

- Oh, my God.

I'm so excited that there is

documentation of this

because we can actually rewind.

First of all, you did talk

through my whole turn.

And second of all,

it doesn't actually matter

'cause technically

there are no turns.

That's good.

I like the bickering too.

- .Keep that going.

- Oh, great.

So, um, she was

going out with a guy.

- A man person.

- A man person.

And so I didn't even know

if it was a possibility.

- And she was dating a shrew.

- That is not true.

- She was...

- Oh, my God, she was awful.

She was this

controlling psychopath

who literally never laughed.

She did laugh.

She laughed

all the time in private.

You don't think that's weird?

- A little bit.

- You're not allowed to ask him.

She's a private laughter.

She can't ask you

for validation.

Um... You are so mean.

When your partner's last person

was such a square

because it's so easy

to please them.

All I have to do is

laugh over brunch,

and you feel like

I'm the most delightful woman

you ever dated.

Um, oh, my God.

You're such a b*tch.

Do you have any fistfights?

'Cause I feel like we could do

a cat fight for you.

That's nice, but let's go back

to Carla and her man.

Oh, God, do we

actually have to?

And had you

dated men before, Carla?

- You know this.

- I know it, yeah,

but we're talking to the rest

of the film audience here.

All right, sorry. Um...

- Yeah, let's hear it.

- Shut up.

What's the other story?

So I wasn't

that comfortable with it,

and I, uh...

and I wasn't out.

So I was dating Brad

and experimenting with women.

And Brad knew about

this experimentation?

No, no.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

And Emmy was friends

with his sister.

Oh. Was that weird?

This is good stuff.

This is really good.

Yeah, well, you know,

it was a long time ago, so...

That's it. We don't have

to talk about Brad anymore

'cause this has really

gone down a different turn here.

No, I... She's right.

It's probably...

I just feel bad about it.

Okay, we don't have

to talk about him anymore.

It's fine.

So because she was dating Brad,

I didn't know

if it was a possibility.

Back to me.

Take it back to you.

But then I found out

about all this experimenting.

And that was it?

And that was it.

And the buck stopped there.

Let's hope.

So far.

- We can cut it now.

- Okay.

- Why?

- You are not talking to Brad.

I have to talk to him.

The subject reveals

where the story goes.

Didn't you see Hoop Dreams?

No, really.

You can't talk to him.

- Why not?

- Because he was traumatized.

Seriously, he's my only ex

that I don't talk to anymore,

and it ruined the relationship

between Emmy and his sister.

I'm gonna be totally

sensitive to that.

It's a really bad idea, dude.

It's not. No, it's a good idea.

This documentary is gonna

bring everyone back together.

- Oh, my God.

- And it's gonna be great.

You guys are gonna

go to the premiere.

- I'm serious, Danny.

- I'm serious too.

Actually, do you wanna become

the center of this film?

You know, it's so sweet

of you to ask me that

because I've been wanting

to say to you that,

"Yes, I want to be

the center of your film!"

Oh, my God.

You're f***ing with me, right?

- No.

- This is not okay.

Holy sh*t.

- That's Rosie.

- Wow.

She just ate that pigeon

over there in the grass.

Yeah, rubbed one out.

Bobby and Violet

were there years ago,

and then Violet died

and this one moved in.

Bobby and Rosie, they live

together in the white building,

or that red building over there,

those two windows.

Her and Bobby met right up there

on top of the building up there.

But Bobby had his choice.

Because he watched her catch it

right here in the grass.

And she was messed up.

She died.

- She ended up dying.

- Oh, man.
