to become a surgeon.

I'm gonna work mostly with

the prostate and the elderly.

- Wow.

- Yeah. I love... I love old...

- I love old people. And I just, uh...

- Wow.

Yeah, I really feel a bond

with that.

No. I'm... I'm totally

kidding you. I...

I'm just... I'm like everybody

else in this city. I'm an actor.

It's kinda boring.

So, uh... Y-You do...

You do like film, television?

Yeah. I've done some movies.

I'm on a television show.

I'm sorry. I don't really

watch television.

No. God. It's a good thing.

It's definitely a plus.

I mean, I don't get mobbed

when I walk down the street,

but you never know why people

are trying to get close to you.

You never know if the girl

talking to you

- actually likes you.

- Right.

It's good to know that you're

not judging me based on that.

You're judging me for me.

No. I'm not judging you at all.

Why not?

I'm not a judge.

- Okay.

- And, uh...

Yeah. I kinda go with

my own instincts.

Do you have a girlfriend?

If I had a girlfriend,

I wouldn't have asked you here.

I know you just walked in,

but what Jessie said about you...

is right.

She says you are warm...

and glowing.

Uh, what else did she say?

Not much. Why?

Why, indeed.

We need to have some more wine.

Can you imagine if that happened

in the first night you had sex

with someone?

You probably wouldn't get

lucky again.

- No.

- That would be a deal-breaker?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Hey...

Kip, I just want to tell you,

this food is really good.

I really appreciate

you making it.

You know, I was feeling

a little down, and now it's...

It's all gone. I haven't

laughed like this in so long.

People... don't normally

make me laugh.

Come here.

I thought you were gonna

drop me for a second.

I wouldn't drop you.

Oh.

So, you've had to listen

to me go on and on about...

acting and movies and...

It's boring.

Tell me about you. What do you do?

Uh, I've done some work

in prostate.

It doesn't surprise me at this

point, actually.

No. But really, what do you do?

Um...

I'm a... I'm a porn star.

You're very good.

Seriously, what do you do?

Seriously.

Come on. Seriously.

Seriously.

Seriously.

I'm sorry. That's...

You know, Jessie left

that little...

- Yeah.

- That little detail out.

Yeah. I figured she did.

Wow. My mom, I know

she's gonna ask how this...

- date went.

- What are you gonna tell her?

I don't know.

It was going really well.

And then...

I mean, l-I'm pretty

open-minded. I am.

L-I really am. But I...

You don't look like a porn star

at all.

What does a porn star look like?

I don't really know, I guess.

I mean, meaner, nastier, not...

Just not you. That's...

So, do you tell people?

Do you just...

You know, it-it depends.

You just have to expect that

everyone's gonna make judgments.

You know?

Are you judging me right now?

I don't know.

I don't mean to, if I am. I j...

I... I'm fascinated. Really.

I'm fascinated, I'm confused,

I'm a little apprehensive.

I'm...

I'm a little bit turned on.

I don't know. I mean...

I just look at it that

I'm not hurting anybody.

And, hopefully, I'm giving

myself and some people pleasure.

Yeah. Well, l-I'm sure you are.

Wow. I'm... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. It's just a little

bit hard to swallow.

- You know?

- Yeah. Tell me about it.

And you do everything?

Well, I believe in the

old industry saying:

Uh, never work with children

or animals.

What about... faking orgasms?

No. No. I never fake an orgasm.

That's just me though.

You know? I mean...

If I don't have an orgasm,

then I don't have an orgasm.

I'm totally fascinated by...

H-How did you get into this?

- You obviously didn't go

to school... for that.

- No.

What was the first time like?

W-W-What was going through

your head? H-How old were you?

Um, I was 18.

And, uh...

Hi. Uh...

I'm Moon. I have an appointment.

Have a seat over here.

Thank you.

Are those, uh... porn Oscars?

Basically.

What? For, uh...

For Best Newcomer?

Okay.

You can go in now.

You see these walls?

Snapshot City.

Everyday, girls send me pictures

from all over the country.

Every kind of girl

you can imagine.

Here. Myra Stein, Burlington,

Vermont.

"I want to be a star."

A star.

Taylor Leigh, St. Louis, Missouri.

"I'm pierced and always wet."

Nice.

Sounds like a weather report.

Paula Diamante, from Brooklyn.

She wants to work off

her debts, and...

claims she ejaculates.

She what?

I've got housewives,

students, dancers...

I even got some religious nuts.

What I'm saying is, there's no

shortage of talent. You get me?

Yeah.

Stand up.

Open your dress.

O... Open my dress?

It's porn, not fashion.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm... a little nervous.

It's okay.

Good. Pull down your panties,

turn around, lift up your dress.

Okay. You can get dressed now,

Moon.

Sit down.

I supposed you want

to know about the money.

Everybody wants to know

about the money.

So, let me find my sex manual,

here.

Let me see.

- It always changes, you see.

- Mm-hmm.

Blowj*bs are 200. Intercourse, 800.

Bi scenes, 600.

It's gone up from five.

Anal, 1, 100.

- Mm-hmm?

- What if I just, uh, want a sandwich?

Two guys? That's a grand.

With tomatoes, 1,200.

Look. I'm not gonna lie to you.

You could go very far.

You could go to the top.

You wanna know why?

Why?

Because you've got that pure,

classy look.

A girl who... could've been

a high school cheerleader.

The girl every guy...

wanted to take home to introduce

to his mom.

In a word...

You're gold.

- Thanks.

- You don't have to thank me. I'm...

I'm not throwing you flowers.

I'm telling it like it is.

You got a righteous ass,

and it speaks for itself.

"Hello."

Moon...

Why do you want to do porn?

I'm curious.

That you are. And bless

you for that.

You like sex?

I love sex.

So, here's our studio.

Okay?

We have our European

Kind of funky, macabre look.

And then over here,

we have our... our nature.

Sh.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Oh!

What do you think?

That day was a first for me.

I'd never been with

a woman before.

Maybe it was fitting

that a woman bring me into

my first scene.

Could you ever date a porn star?

I don't know.

I mean... would you...

consider quitting the porn...

industry altogether and having

a... a monogamous relationship?

Wait.

Hold that pregnant thought.

Okay?

Hello?

Kiska? Where are you?

I'm with a new friend.

Oh.

Yeah. He cooked me dinner.

I'm embarrassed...

but I'm a mess.

I tried to use the toilet, and

I couldn't get my zipper down,

and I wet myself.

My hands are shaking so much,

and now, I'm... sitting

here in my own...

Oh, Pops, don't...

Don't worry. L-l-I...

l-l-I... I'll be home soon. Okay?

L-l-I'll be right there and

I'll help you. All right?

I love you. Bye.

Is he okay?

Yeah. He's, uh... Thanks.

Yeah, um...

He's got Parkinson's.

It's difficult to see your own

father deteriorate. You know?

I know... I know all about it,

actually. My...

My aunt had-had the same thing.
