The One I Love Page #3

---

- Fascinating.

- Tell me.

Okay. Thai being in there is

100% convinced that she is you.

- She is?

- Yeah.

I threw out

some soft challenges.

She is unappable.

I think when

you go in there...

God, it's crazy.

Yeah, you throw out some

like very specific examples

from our past

and see how he reacts.

Oh, no, no, sweetie.

I don't think we're

supposed to challenge them.

What if they disappear

or something, you know?

What if they freak out?

I'm just saying what's the harm

in letting them think

that they're us?

Yeah, I mean, I...

All right.

There's no harm in it.

I just thought

part of the fun of this

was like the investigation

and trying to...

I know. Of course

you thought

the fun was in

the investigation.

Wait, hold on.

It's like at

the magic show in Vegas

when you told me

how the magician

did every single trick

and you ruined the entire show

for me and everyone around us.

Okay. You remember we talked

about the magic show

was three years ago

and we're moving past that?

- Okay.

- Yeah.

Let's go inside.

We'll make up

some ground rules together.

That way neither of us

feels like, you know,

there's any kind of...

Confusion.

- Or just being on the same page.

- Okay.

While we are

in the guest house

with the weird people,

no intimacy, no sex.

Yes. Absolutely agreed.

- No sex.

- Good.

What else?

Well, I would say that

would lead me to,

you know, no spying

and there has to be

trust involved,

and we'll be honest with each

other about what happens

in the guest house and...

Right. It's like a...

It's like a therapy exercise

in trust almost.

- It's a trust exercise.

- Okay, great.

- That's why we're here.

- Good.

Um...

Let's see.

I guess if there's

anything else...

Actually this is kind of

really important

now that I think about it.

We can have fun with this,

but if at any point either of us

becomes uncomfortable and

wants to stop,

we just out it off,

pack our bags...

Absolutely.

Absolutely. Agreed.

That's a good one,

that's a really good one.

Yeah.

Anything else?

I think thats it.

Then we are done.

Those are good.

So since we're just kind of

like dipping our toes in here,

I think maybe we shouldn't

spend too much time in there

the first go-around.

Okay. How does

15 minutes sound?

Yeah, I think that's good.

Okay, but don't, you know,

stand outside waiting for me.

Wait, what?

Well, you know, I think

ifs going to make me nervous

if I think you're waiting

right outside the door.

Yeah, okay.

That's fair.

Oh, you mean,

like right now?

- Yeah. Yeah, okay.

- Yes, sorry.

- Okay. Go ahead.

- Okay.

Enjoy yourself,

but be safe.

Hey.

It's nice.

You could be honest.

I handle the criticism.

No, it's...

Okay.

I think I look

a little severe.

Is that how you see me?

No.

I'm just not

a very good painter.

No.

I was trying to emulate Degas

who lights up his portrait faces

with all these wonderful colors.

Degas?

Unfortunately, it looks like

your face was lit on fire...

Which was not my intention.

I apologize.

But it yielded

a wonderful title, though.

- Uh-huh.

- I'm thinking of calling it

"Sophie My Love,

the Burn Victim."

Or the ultimate tittle

"Sophie My Love, the Full-On B*tch"

because I look

awfully bitchy.

- Well...

- Sorry.

Well, in all fairness,

sometimes you're a b*tch.

Excuse me?

Yeah, but it's cool

because I'm an a**hole

sometimes, you know?

Right.

We can say that, right?

No, I think it's good.

- Scoot over.

- Thanks.

Okay.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- To a perfect weekend together.

Hmm.

That's very nice.

Where you going?

Nowhere but here.

Why are you nervous?

I'm not nervous.

Why do you think I'm nervous?

Give me your hand.

Hmm?

What? Don't you trust me?

What the f***?

You were spying on me.

Well, yeah. You were

like over 20 minutes in there.

Over 20... We didn't agree it

would be exactly 15 minutes,

- five minutes over'?

- Yeah, but you know,

we didn't agree on like

intimate massages either.

Wait, wait. Intimate,

intimate massages?

- Are you serious?

- You were into it.

I was not into...

I was rocking your body

in there.

All right. All right.

I'm sorry. I can see how that

might have made you uncomfortable,

and I apologize.

- It's a little confusing, Sorry.

- All right. It won't happen again.

- Okay.

- Understood.

- How was it in general though?

- Oh my God, it's so weird.

- H's so strange.

- It's really odd.

I mean, you were just...

You were wonderful.

You were funny and charming,

and you just kept telling me

all these great things

we should do

on the property and...

Does he feel like me to you?

He is you...

He's just a little...

A little what?

It's... How to describe it...

You know,

it's like you're funny,

you know.

You have a great sense of humor

and everyone likes you and...

Thanks.

And that's who you are...

In there,

but it's like a memory of it.

It's like I'm being

reminded of it or something,

but it's happening

right in front of me.

- Hmm.

- Does that make any sense?

You're not saying

that like it's like...

The better version

when you're in there, right?

- No, no. No, no, no.

- You're just...

Not at all.

That's the crazy thing.

It is you in there, you know?

What about the physicality...

Do you notice any differences?

No. No, not really.

Yeah.

You know what, the hair.

There's something

about the hair.

The hair?

Mmm-hmm. It's a little different.

It's like it's a little messier,

it's kind of beachy.

- Did you say beachy?

- Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

Come here. Let me see.

It's like, like kind of... No.

Well, well, it's like really...

I don't know. I'm not doing it right

or something.

- I don't know.

- Yeah.

Don't worry about it.

Cool.

Oh, and you know what,

you don't wear glasses.

You don't wear glasses in there

and you seem totally fine with it.

Well.

In the guest house,

I'm a surfer with perfect vision.

We'll work on this.

It's not quite...

No, it's good.

We're getting there.

You've tried contacts, right?

Hey, Soph?

Hmm?

I'd like to take my session

at the guest house now if that's cool.

What time is it?

It's late,

but I just can't sleep.

Oh, okay, sweetie.

Okay. I love you.

I love you.

What are you talking about? There are

like six versions of the same doll.

They're completely

unique in every way.

There are six

different ladies here.

- I don't see it.

- Okay.

This one is the beautiful model

who is always talking about

how she was such a nerd

in high school,

and then oh, this one...

It definitely has two

tramp stamps underneath

that dress, for sure.

And then you've got...

This one is the coolest girl

in the world,

and she'd make

the most wonderful wife,

but no one's going to be able

to look past her chubby thighs.

Which one of these is your favorite?

Which one do you like the most?

Okay.

Ready for this?

Ooh, I dropped it.

How is that not the cutest

thing you've ever seen?

- It really is cute.
