with your mother,

who probably bought all the

others ones before that.

I picked some out.

(laughter)

I have bought a coat.

I don't believe you,

but it sounds like

you're just a Ken doll.

I picked the red one,

the one we just donated.

The ugly ski jacket.

It's not ugly, and plus

it was only 15 bucks.

One more.

Oh no.

Someone paid you 15

bucks to take it from them?

One more, Margaret.

No.

He'll keep up this refrain

all night if you let him.

(cheering)

Yeah, it's Friday!

Friday.

[Cass] It's Friday!

It's Friday.

Cheers.

Yeah (mumbles) I don't

have anything, guys.

Yay.

Two more, two more.

[Cass] Two more!

Okay!

Come on girls, Taco Time.

Taco Time.

Oh ho, so Taco Time!

(cheering and chattering)

How am I supposed to

know what you look like?

Oh, of course.

Of course you do them.

Okay, fine.

(gentle music playing)

Hi, good morning.

Can I help you

find a table or...

Did you eat?

Did I eat?

Yeah, I waited just

in case you hadn't.

I didn't want to be rude.

Is this table

okay for you both?

Um, yeah.

Sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about,

would you like a menu?

I know what I want,

she can use mine.

Okay, great, so

I'll be back in a bit.

Would you like a beverage,

something to start with?

Coffee's really good.

Yeah, it totally is.

Yeah, I know.

I'll have a coffee and

some water, please.

Great.

Why do you want

to eat with me?

I don't know.

Can I have my bag please?

Yeah, of course.

I don't mind if

you wanna check it.

I only really care

about the computer

which I know must be in

there, and the files on it.

The ones that you decided

it was okay to watch.

Well if I hadn't, it

might not have become

so important to me to

get it back to you.

Here we go, a coffee,

and water for everyone.

Do you need another minute?

Yeah, I think so.

No problem at all.

If it makes you

feel more comfortable,

I feel the same way you do.

About a lot of stuff.

Like the stuff you said,

really resonated with me.

I'm sorry I watched your videos.

It's okay.

Guess it could have gone worse.

Yeah.

Some a**hole could

have found them.

When you talk about therapy,

and stuff like that,

is that a...

Where do you go to find

out about stuff like that?

I went through my insurance.

Of course.

Not all therapists

take insurance.

Many don't actually.

They get tired of insurance

companies trying to tell them

how to do their job and

how much people are worth.

The point is that you don't

have to have insurance.

Some people just pay?

I guess so.

I don't know.

I probably wouldn't

be able to afford it.

Not twice a week, at least.

I have to.

Is it something you

would be interested in?

I don't know, maybe.

I thought about it

before, but I don't know

where I'd find the time

or the money to do it.

I've got student

insurance though,

it's not too great

outside of school.

You could probably talk

to someone there, too,

if you wanted.

What you do is

great too, though.

I recorded my own

video blog after

watching yours yesterday.

I'm sorry.

I know they're supposed to

be all private and stuff,

and I shouldn't have

kept watching them

but I couldn't help it.

I go through the same

sh*t too, you know that.

The same sh*t, for reals.

Um, thank you, V.

Sure, it's no problem.

It's a little strange

how it happened,

but it was nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, too.

And thank you.

For what?

You know, for talking

to me and eating with me,

and for not being mad that

I watched all your videos.

Unless you are mad.

I'm just a little

uncomfortable.

Right, I understand that.

I can show you mine.

If it would help, make it fair.

You would feel

comfortable doing that?

(dog barking)

[V] Oh my God!

[Margaret] Come

inside, come inside.

[V] Oh my God!

So cute!

What's her name?

Zelda

My friend loaned her to

me for a couple of days.

Good friend?

Uh-huh.

(laughs)

I actually have to walk her.

They're beautiful.

My mom used to hoist

me onto their lawn

to take pictures or something.

Like after my penance.

You're Catholic?

Technically, I guess.

You?

Same, technically.

You're not all white, are you?

(laughs)

Uh, how'd you know?

You're a little

more exotic-looking

than the white-white girls

that hang around here.

You're really pretty though

Thank you.

So are you.

If you don't mind my saying.

You just didn't have to

say it because I said it.

Oh I wasn't...

I just don't try

to be pretty-pretty.

You're being kind

of hard on yourself

if you don't my saying.

Maybe.

I could help you, if you

want, to find a therapist.

If that's what you want.

You don't have to do that.

I know.

But still, I you want, I could.

I'll think about

it, if that's okay.

Okay, okay.

Oh.

I wish dogs didn't poop.

I wish that people

would accept that they did

enough to pick up after them.

Fair point, fair point.

Did you hear about

that mayor in Spain

that hired all those

people to follow around

the shittier people that

leave their dog poop

and put it on their doorstep?

What?

That's amazing.

Yeah, he got all

these young people

to look out for it,

and they walk around

and they just like follow

people when their dogs poop,

pick it up, box it up, and

put it on their doorstep.

Nice.

I like it.

Serving some justice and

giving young people jobs.

Yeah, I guess.

I guess I could be into that.

You know, pick up a little

sh*t, make a little money.

(whirring)

Coffee's really good.

Oh, good, thanks.

The coffee at that

cafe's really good too.

I'd never been there before.

Oh, their coffee's

better than this.

Maybe, but not by much.

It's better than

what my mother makes.

There's a coffee

spectrum, I guess.

You live at home?

Yeah.

You grew up here?

Yeah.

You wanna watch the video?

Oh, um if you want

to show it to me still,

that's okay.

Wanted to try this.

When I watched Marge's

videos, they just seemed

so real, you know?

I don't know about this for me.

I know I shouldn't have even

watched the first video,

but it was right there.

So personal.

Told myself if I watched

it it would help me

find out who it belonged to,

and that was a lie.

I didn't even know if I

was gonna give it back,

'til I watched all of them.

I did, I watched all of 'em.

I feel bad, but I

don't, you know?

I feel guilty.

But it affected me, you know?

It helped me.

(sighs)

I'm gonna apologize

to her when I

give her computer back.

Maybe I'll tell her

about this, you know?

Maybe she doesn't hate

me after she finds out

I spied on her.

I don't know about this, I

usually write when I'm upset.

That's how I became a

writer in the first place.

I like having that difference,

like I don't like to

write without a reason.

Like, I like writing about

a character that's me

but isn't me.

This is me though.

Can't fight that fact.

(sniffling)

What am I supposed to do now?

Talk about my feelings?

How do I feel?

Just f***in' angry, you know?

That's how I always
