Shame
Hey, it's me.
Pick up.
Pick up.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Come in.
Drink?
No, thank you.
Perfect.
This way.
Slowly.
Hey, it's me.
Pick up.
Pick up.
Brandon?
Brandon?
Brandon, where are you?
Brandon? Brandon?
Brandon?
Ugh!
This is me calling you.
F***!
"I find you disgusting.
"I find you inconsolable.
I find you invasive."
This is what the cynics used to say.
Companies would refuse
to look into the future.
They would say, "Can we stop this virus?"
As if it was a negative progression.
But it's growing.
More and more,
with a momentum that is unstoppable.
Now some kid snorts the entire load
of his mother's spice cupboard.
Post that on You Tube.
They would watch
as it becomes the buzz word
amongst high school students everywhere.
Eventually, the cynicism
is turning into awe.
Do you know what's going on
with my computer?
They took it.
Yeah, I know. Someone could have told me.
Some kind of virus.
Cool.
Thank you.
Okay, me again.
I'm dying. I have cancer.
I have one week to live.
The very worst kind of cancer.
Of the vulva...
- Hey.
- Hey.
You're such a dick.
What are you doing, man?
All right, gentlemen.
If you just please make yourselves at home.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
It falls upon me as your
beloved boss to propose a toast.
To success.
I just hope my wife appreciates it.
Get a new tie, please.
- Jesus Christ.
- Oh, my goodness.
I love women in suits.
I love women in suits.
We could talk business,
- Wow, she's beautiful.
- Gray suit?
- I'm gonna go talk to her. Count me down.
- You should go talk to her.
Yeah, you should.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Boom.
Have fun.
Twenty bucks says he fucks it up.
Incoming.
Hi, excuse me. Listen, I don't want to
beat around the bush.
I think you're absolutely gorgeous.
My name's David.
- Hi, David. Elizabeth. Nice to meet you.
- Elizabeth. That's a beautiful name.
- Hi, I'm David. I don't mean to be rude.
- Loren.
- Hi, how are you? David. Nice to meet you.
- Rachel.
Listen, can I buy you a drink?
Can I buy you all drinks?
- Sure. Why not?
- I would love that.
That would be my pleasure.
What are you guys drinking?
- Well, we were thinking shots.
- You were thinking shots?
We just did shots of tequila.
Would you guys like a shot of tequila?
- Bring it on.
- Love it.
Excuse me. Bartender? Can we get
four shots of your finest tequila?
Thank you very much.
I can see you're very successful.
I think part of the secret to my success
is attention to detail.
- Detail?
- Play the game.
- What game?
- Okay. Blue or green?
I like games. I like this game.
Blue. Green. Green, it's green.
- That's brown.
- Wow, wow!
I don't know how you change
the color of your eyes like that.
How do you do that so quickly?
That's amazing. That's a real talent.
- Detail man.
- Hey, buddy.
This guy, right here,
f***ing nailed it today.
I want you to know you f***ing nailed it.
You're the man.
Your pitch, amazing.
Listen, we're playing a game here.
Close your eyes again. Blue or green?
- Brown.
- F*** off.
All right. You, Loren, close your eyes.
- Blue.
- Blue.
- You're just making that up.
- See? He's good.
He's just picking colors randomly.
- You can have his shot.
- Excuse me. We need another shot, please.
- You can put these on me.
- No, I told you, I had it.
No, I have it.
- I'll get the next round.
- Sure.
You're a strong, independent woman.
I like that.
Thank you. Cheers. To nailing it...
- To nailing it.
- To nailing it.
- To nailing it.
- ...and to success.
Yes.
Mmm!
I love that.
Oh, f***.
Whoa!
So what do you girls do for fun?
Fun? Karate.
You hear this song?
I love this song, I wrote this song,
I would love it if you would dance with me
to this song that I wrote for you.
Come on. Let's go on the dance floor.
One song.
Yeah, come on. You're a fun girl.
It'll be fun.
I'll bring her back. Swear to God.
Come on, come on, it's fun.
Toe to toe
Dancing very close
Spinning, spinning, spinning...
Whoo!
I'm grabbing her purse 'cause she's
gonna get robbed and roofed.
- Dance?
- No.
- Are you sure? Okay.
- I'm sure.
Wall to wall
People hypnotized
And they're stepping lightly
Hang each night in
Rapture
Okay, okay, okay! Hold on.
I just gotta talk to you one more time.
Listen, your eyes, they're beautiful.
You know why
I didn't get it right the first time?
Because it's like a collage.
Let me see them again.
Look at those eyes.
I know the color of your eyes!
- David! Come on!
- Come on, we love that game.
That's so much fun.
It's okay, 'cause I'm going this way.
Hey, man, he's going uptown.
Come on.
- Okay.
- I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey. Want a ride?
Sure.
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
I want...
I'll f***ing kill you!
What the f***?
- Ow! F***!
- Jesus Christ, Sissy!
F***! Brandon, don't you f***ing knock?
What the f***?
Why would I knock? I live here!
Oh, f***!
- How'd you get in?
- You gave me f***ing keys.
F***.
You f***ing scared me.
Don't I always say call me first
if you're coming into town?
Oh, my God! I called you so many times.
You have a f***ing baseball bat?
Yeah.
Hmm.
What is this sh*t you put in your hair?
Honestly, it's awful.
- Shampoo.
- Is it for grooming dogs?
I want your love
I want your love
Good to see you.
I want your love
I want your love
- Lock the door next time.
- Yeah.
- Don't use all the towels.
- I won't.
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
I want your love
But I want you.
I don't want anyone else.
There is no one else.
I love you. I'll do anything.
I'll do anything.
Please don't say that.
Please don't say that.
I love you. I love you.
I'll do anything. I'll do anything.
I don't have to go out!
I don't have to go out!
I don't even f***ing want to go out!
I can stay with you.
I don't care. I don't care.
I don't need anybody else. I love you.
I love you. I love you so much.
I love you, please.
I love you. I love you.
Please.
I feel sick. I feel really sick.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Nice earring. Hot date?
- Juice?
- Mmm!
Will you use a glass?
Sorry.
You're going gray.
Do you think I look fat?
Do you think I look fat?
Sit down.
F*** you!
Yeah. Sure.
Can I stay?
- You want toast?
- Just for a few days?
I'd stay with Mark,
but he's being a f***ing a**hole.
- Mark?
- Please.
Jesus, Sissy.
What do you expect?
Pretty please?
Look, you get the sofa
and you get your ass off it
- before I leave every morning.
- I will. I promise. I will.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
- We leave in 15.
- Okay!
Mmm! So good!
Stop f***ing around.
- Leave it.
- You have fluff.
I like it there.
- How are you for money?
- I'm good.
- 'Cause if you need some money...
- Honestly,
I even make money now and everything.
- Yeah, sure.
- Huge amounts.
What, you collect it in that hat?
You should come and hear me.
