a handful of theater companies
that was interested in my work?
Yeah.
I lied.
So...
Oh, sh*t. I found something
that you feel insecure about.
What? I'm like insecure about everything.
- You hide it well.
- Well...
I just really love theater.
You know, I feel like I love it
the way that most people
love like sports or food.
- Oh, I love food and sports.
- Yeah.
- You love it that much?
- Yes, I do.
And I've been like that since I was a kid.
I love everything about it.
I love reading it.
I love watching it even when it's bad.
I love teaching it.
I especially love making it.
I just... I love it all.
That's great. So, what's the problem?
I don't know if it loves me back
and that scares the sh*t out of me.
Come on. I'm sure it loves you back.
No, I have a wall full
of rejection letters that beg to differ.
- I would love to read one.
- What? A rejection letter?
No. I would love to read one
of your plays.
and get back to you.
with a room full of strangers,
but for me, you have to think about it.
Yeah, well, it's different to share it
with somebody that you know.
It's like really intimate.
I already know I'm gonna like it.
Okay, well, don't do that.
If I do show you my stuff, and that's if,
you have to promise me
that you will be honest.
Honesty is like all I care about.
Was that supposed to be
an impression of me?
Oh, it did sound like you, I guess.
Yeah, it did, a little bit.
Well, this is me.
Yeah. I know. I already, uh, spent
the night here, remember?
- Yes.
- Mm-hm.
- I had such a great time today.
- Me, too.
It was really lovely.
- You're such a beautiful skater.
- Thank you.
I had a really terrible teacher.
You're sure I don't still remind you
of how not Damon I am?
- No.
- Mm-hm.
Why? I already know your bathroom
is gross AF.
First of all, I've cleaned it thoroughly.
- Good.
- And second of all...
I think we should slow it down
a little bit.
the first time we hung out.
- Yes.
- Mm-hm.
- And it was tremendous.
- Mm.
You booty called me like four days later.
- So, so fun.
- You're an excellent lover.
Well, please don't call me lover.
It's disgusting.
What's the problem?
I probably seem to you,
like I have my sh*t together.
But, um...
I just got out of a marriage
eight months ago.
And everything is just a bit sh*t.
Boone, you so do not
seem like you have it together.
And, I don't either.
I just got out of a relationship, too.
Well, all the more reason to...
Say good night.
Really? Boone.
- Yeah.
- Boone, Boone, Boone.
- I'm trying to be strong.
- I'm a unicorn.
Oh.
That's got to mean something.
Good night, Jessica.
Good night.
- Mm.
- Mm-hm.
Oh, f*** it.
- Just come up.
- Yes.
We can always say good night
in the morning, right?
We're naked.
We are so naked.
Mm-hm.
You're so beautiful.
I am.
I'm a little nervous.
Oh, no, no, no.
You don't seem nervous at all.
- I love the way you feel.
- I like the way you feel me.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.
How about if I feel you here?
Oh, sh*t, Boone. Yup.
Oh.
Where do you like to be touched?
Oh, you know.
Anywhere is nice.
- Yeah? Is that okay?
- Yeah, there.
There is the best.
Yeah.
- Hey.
- Hey.
- You got a dog?
- I did.
Wow, it's a really cute dog.
She's so little.
Are you just walking around here?
Uh, yeah.
Hm? You're just walking around
the neighborhood?
- You don't live around here.
- What?
Why are you walking around here?
- Well, honestly I've been thinking.
- Oh, you've been thinking?
- You've been thinking?
- Yeah, I've...
- Why do you keep doing that?
- Because you don't live around here.
You're walking her over here.
That's weird.
Excuse me, sir.
No, no. She's not bothering me, man.
It's fine.
- Would you like me to call the police?
- No, man. No.
I'm gonna call the police.
Don't call the police, man.
I love her, okay?
I love her!
Good luck.
I love you.
Hey, listen, I know you think
you're the one with the broken heart.
But, remember, you broke up with me.
You didn't have to accept it so easily.
Well, what was I supposed to do?
- I don't know, fight for us.
- Fight for what?
We were already in a relationship.
I was scared sh*t.
Scared of what?
Of everything.
Of being defined as your girlfriend,
of not being a writer,
of trying and failing,
of losing myself in this relationship.
Listen, Jess, I just think
that we deserve another chance.
All right? I deserve another chance.
I'm kind of seeing somebody right now.
Well, would you want me to fight him?
Because I'll punch him right...
No, Damon. Go home, okay?
Don't walk your freaking cute ass dog
in my neighborhood anymore.
- Jess, come on.
- Go! Seriously.
Jess.
Jess.
- Jess...
- Jess. Jess.
Jess.
You all right?
I'm okay, just thinking.
I was gonna make some coffee.
You want some coffee?
- Oh, I am more of a tea person.
- Ah.
So...
Then, I shall bring you tea.
Thank you.
All right.
Close your eyes and open your minds.
We're gonna play another game.
Except this game is not going to be
as easy as the others.
Why not?
You'll see.
You ready?
It's your birthday,
and you're in the car with your parents.
My parents don't have a car.
Then use your imagination.
Okay, I'm gonna imagine I'm in a Ferrari.
Okay, great.
The whole year, you've been
telling anybody who would listen
that all you wanted
for your birthday was a dog.
And you think that you're on your way
to the pet store
to pick one out right now.
But what you don't know
is that your mom just found out
that she's going to have another baby.
And your parents have already
been stretching their money
to make sure that they can pay
for your college education.
You don't know any of this yet
because you're just a kid
and they work really hard
to shield you from that stuff.
But, unfortunately, this creates
a lot of tension between them.
Sometimes, you hear them yelling
at each other late at night
when they think you're asleep.
And it really scares you.
Now your dad, being the proud
and impractical man that he is,
really wants to get you this dog
even though he knows
that you can't afford it.
And your mom is frustrated at him for this
because she works, too.
And she knows that she's going
to have to quit her job
to take care of this new baby.
Wow. I didn't know things were so tight.
My parents should probably sell
this Ferrari.
Davion.
Cool it with the Ferrari, okay?
Now.
Imagine that you're the dad.
You're driving the car
and you look in the rear-view mirror,
and you see your kid
with this big dopey smile on her face.
I don't have a dopey smile.
You're right, you have a beautiful smile.
Thank you.
Now, imagine that you're the mom.
You're in the passenger seat...
and you see a look of anguish
go across your husband's face
