How did your gig go on Friday?

Yeah, uh, very good, thank you.

We're having a nice time here, uh, in Mid...

West South Fest, and we're supp... here to promote the, uh, single,

"Extraterrestrial Lady Parts."

Um, we are a band called Fast Ghost, based out of, uh, London.

And public service announcement,

I lost my passport yesterday or the day before,

so please, if you see Felix Remen's passport,

please can you send it to...

uh... base camp.

And I will find it, and I will thank you... reward you...

Thank you.

Oh God, help us. Did not know you were there.

Can we, uh... Can we chat a moment?

Wow, that's never good.

Listen, Jessica...

-I like you. Uh... -Thank you.

You're... You're perfectly adequate to have around.

But I brought you to London

because I'd heard that you always got the job done.

Now, honestly, since you've arrived, you seem to have been at loose ends. Hmm?

-I don't... -Ah, hush.

James Wenlich-Rice starts prep in two weeks.

This is a man who's won an Academy Award.

Of course, for Bird in a Pipe, a searing exploration of sex workers.

Yeah. I haven't seen it, but I need you to be fully present and accounted for.

Because he's an incredibly complex director to handle.

Yeah, I'm so excited to meet him.

I feel like moving across the ocean is a little bit intense sometimes.

-But I feel like I'm adjusting. -Fabulous.

Uh, Josie has a list of ten behaviors to avoid from here on out.

Look at me.

Now, some of them are cultural, some are personal,

but all of them will benefit you in life wherever you go after here.

Mm, thanks.

Okay. Um... You've been eating quite smelly lunches.

Including a very few antisocial flavor of crisps, such as prawn.

You played a few voice memos from your mum out loud,

and she's not possessed of the gentlest tone.

Like, that one actually is kind of true, so maybe just keep playing that quiet.

You say, "I have to pee," which forces us to visualize what you're doing there,

instead of saying, "I'll just pop to the loo."

When you change your shoes,

just maybe do it before you get into the office,

because Jonno's really sensitive to smell,

and he says that your feet smell bad, and I feel awkward saying that to you.

-You don't know they're mine. -We don't.

'Cause I feel like other people do change their shoes as well.

♪ Are you for real? ♪

-So, Felix Ramen. -Remen.

Remen, sorry. Are you looking for work?

Yeah. Uh, yeah, but, um, like I was saying, like,

the main thing I've been doing is trying to write songs and stuff at the moment.

Is that paying work?

No, so I have been paid to make music, just not to make my own music.

But, like, it will become paying work.

It's just the problem is if I'm spending all my time trying to find other work,

then I don't have the time to make that work.

Like, my main work.

So I have applied for lots of different jobs.

It's just, I don't know, when your CV says

session guitarist in a bunch of punk, trash-punk, whatever bands,

they're not jumping to make you

the manager of a pasta restaurant, you know?

I'm not trying to be a brat about it. It's just taken me a while to get to...

Like, I don't do drugs anymore.

I don't drink. I'm a normal...

It's just, like, for a couple of months.

You know...

I'm actually a bit of a muso myself.

I have a band here, the Job Centre Jug Jammers.

Oh cool. Well, so...

Is that, like... you play the jugs, or...

It's a rhythm and blues, '90s style.

Um, we just call it that 'cause of the multiple Js.

'Cause of, um, Janet and John and, uh, Jimmy.

-Right. -Uh...

I'm Mike, but... it doesn't matter.

Well, do you want to play me some of your tracks?

I'll let you know if they have promise.

Dear Wendy Jones.

Do you ever have trouble being present where you actually are?

Like, do you ever find yourself, say, having dinner with my ex-boyfriend

while you're thinking about your ex-boyfriend?

Or are you, like, studying Buddhism

in addition to everything else you got going on?

Okay, we have a lighting budget, bitch.

I can't believe you can spend all that time on numbers.

I can't count beyond ten. It makes my head hurt.

You can. You just don't want to.

Do you want to?

No, but I want to have a job,

and I do what I have to do in order to have a job.

I mean, isn't adulthood just a series of things

that we don't want to do but we have to?

No, I think it's like,

trying to make sure you can do the things that you actually do want to do.

Is this the job you always wanted?

What kind of question is that?

Literally just a question because I'm curious about you.

Oh.

Well, yeah, I mean, it's similar to what I really wanted to do.

What about you? Have you always wanted to be a musician?

Uh, not really.

I mean, I'm not saying I became a musician out of revenge, but...

I think I got my first guitar when I was 15.

I was trying to impress Angelica Proctor.

She took my virginity in her mum's bed at a house party.

Then she dumped me for some guy

that she met at the Stone Circle at Glastonbury.

Well, was she impressed?

She did actually come to a gig like ten years later

and tried to shag me, so...

-"Tried"? -As in...

Yeah, very much successfully managed to shag me, um, yeah.

-I have a question. Um... -Hmm?

Do you know how Americans are really horny for the British accent?

Like, everything you say sounds really sexy and chic.

Does it go both ways? Like...

Do you guys think that our accents are, like, really cute?

Um...

-I find your accent cute. -So, no.

I, um... I can't stay up late tonight.

I have a meeting at 8:30.

-What, like a dinner meeting? -No, like a breakfast meeting.

-Like, in the morning, before breakfast. -What, a.m.?

-Yeah. -Gross.

Anyways, we've been staying up really late, and it's been really lovely,

but my boss had to talk to me today, and it was...

Uh-oh, did you get a bollocking?

Uh, I would never let my boss fuck me.

Especially in the ass.

-What is wrong with you? -What the fuck?

A bollocking. Like, did he tell you off?

Did he have a word with you? Like, "I gave him a bollocking."

I've never heard that. Are you making that up?

No, that's like an English phrase. That's like an idiom.

You're literally lying.

Google it. It doesn't mean fucking someone in the arse.

I got scared that you thought I cheated on you.

I would never do that to my fiancé.

I really need to be on my A game, so tonight you can't keep me awake.

I think you're the one who's been keeping me awake.

Here. Let me help you with that.

-You're deleting. -Sorry.

-You're adding and deleting. -Sorry.

You're not even gonna eat your pho?

-Pho sure. I'm gonna eat it. -Oh my God.

Okay, let's have a do-over.

You can't eat this cold. It won't be divine that way.

You know, you can be a little genius with your spreadsheet,

but I've noticed that you're not always that kind to yourself.

What do you mean?

Well, like eating your pho freezing cold, for example.

Or washing your face

with those really rough towels that you've got.

Or sleeping with the curtains wide open.

If I don't sleep with curtains open, how will I know it's morning?

If I don't know it's morning, I'll keep sleeping.

And I might as well be asleep for forever. I might as well be dead.

I'll tell you when it's morning. I can be the curtains.

I actually can't believe that you've never watched Paddington.

I've watched it like 20 times.

What? It's a kids' movie.

My nephew doesn't like kids' movies. His favorite is The English Patient.

Shh. Watch this bit. This bit's really important.

It's actually where they set the whole story up.

I know all the details seem really random now,

but they come back later, so you have to concentrate, okay?

Hmm.

-Uncle Pastuzo! -Oh God, I fucking hate this bit.

Are you scared?

Yeah, 'cause I know what's coming.

But they find Uncle Pastuzo, right?

-Uncle Pastuzo! -No.

That's the problem. They don't find the... They literally never find him.

That is really sad. Why would they do that in a kids' movie?

The graphics actually hold up really well.

-Don't you think? -Mm-hmm.

This bit is ridiculous.

-It's so real. -Mm-hmm.

Oh yeah. This is the bit, actually.

This is the worst bit.

He looks so little in his boat.

Yes!

Yes, oh my God. We're getting married!

You need to brace yourself.

It doesn't get funny, like, for quite a while.

Yeah, I love this movie. It's so good. It's making me cry.

He's all like... He's, like, lookin' at us. Like, oh God.

-It's so sad. -He's lost his fucking uncle.

He doesn't know if he's gonna see her again.

He's, like, so cute, and he's, like...

"It's not the destination that matters."

"It's the change of scene." Brian Eno.

Let's change scenes together forever.

"It's not the destination that matters, it's the change of..."

Let's change scenes together forever.

"It's not the destination that matters."

"It's not the destination that matters." Brian Eno.

Let's change scenes.

"It's not the destination that matters. It's the change of scene."

You must find a new home.

-In London. -But... but I don't know anyone there.

What if they don't even like bears?

You know...

Is your heart made of fucking stone? What... What...?

She's just put a fucking tag around his neck that's like...

That says, "Please look after this bear."

Oh my God, I know it's really sad.

She doesn't know what's gonna happen to him.

She's like... Oh, now there's a fucking hat on his head.

But I'm worried that now, when we get to the end of the film,

you're not gonna have the ammo to, like...

-No, I... I was almost crying too. -Enjoy it.

Soon as you started crying. I was like, "One of us has to be strong."

Yeah, basically, 'cause he's got so much marmalade, that's a signal for us.

That's like, "Okay. Cheer up, guys. Marmalade time."

It's gonna be okay. He's gonna have a... sandwich.

I can't believe you did that. That's crazy.

You can't tell me movie trivia during sex.

Do you want me to quote the whole of The Matrix?

-No. -I can quote the whole film off by heart.

Please don't do that.

Where are you going?

Well, I have to go to the bathroom 'cause I'm not about that UTI life.

Is that why you're walking like that?

You know this walk. It's a female classic.

Yeah, I've seen it before.

I just wanted to hear you say it out loud, that you're basically smuggling cum now.

That you're a cum smuggler.

Mm.

Have you got a permit?

Hey, baby?

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

-Um, what's the context? -Hey!

Well, I mean, when I meet you, are you actually a worm,

or is this some sort of Kafkaesque transformation?

Like, I become a worm.

Like, bam, you wake up, I'm next to you, I'm a worm.

Um...

I'd miss you. I'd mourn you.

I'd be in recovery my whole life from losing you.

I'd keep you in a little terrarium and feed you the best worm food.

Mm.

But I don't think our relationship would remain romantic.

That's a good answer.

Baby, would you still love me if I were a worm?

I refuse to be party to this trend.

Think about it. Some kid in Arkansas makes a video, and what?

We're all supposed to emulate it in our spare time?

Sounds pretty nonsensical, doesn't it?

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Would you still love me if I was a worm? Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Wendy, some days my mind just loops over and over

as I think about the fact that if we hung out,

you probably would love me.

You'd be like, "Wow, Jess. She's so real."

Instead, you've been fed some story that makes me impossible to empathize with.

Just wait until we show the boys this.

-There's boys coming over? -Well, just at the high school dance.

-You want to try it? -Wow, it's really chic and French.

Mm.

Whoo!

-Mm! -Or maybe you feel sorry for me.

Like a girl who really did become a worm.

You're everything I disdain in this world.

Wait, why?

Because.

Because I want to hook up with you.

Can... can I hook up with you?

I mean, you can do whatever you want.

You have the power.

But what if I want you to own me?

Um, I wasn't having a bathroom problem.

I was texting my mom, just so you know.

Well, I didn't think you were having a bathroom problem.

Are you okay?

Uh, yeah. I'm just having a cigarette.

Come here.

Come here.

I really have to go to sleep.

-Okay. -Okay.

-I'm not stopping you. -Okay.

...my style. I'm not for everybody...

Now, this is relaxing.

So you're staring at your phone all the way through Paddington.

And then now this,

a show about people getting their dreams shattered by Alan Carr,

is somehow chilling you out?

I mean, yeah. I feel like

you have to watch people whose lives are worse than yours to relax.

If I really wanted to conk out, if I wanted to fall asleep right away,

I'd watch Dateline.

We'd be watching an unsolved murder about a respected female pastor.

Right.

I feel like that really puts yourself in perspective.

I mean, she's really not coming back from that, and it's really sad.

And it's also like, it's sad, and it's... Ugh, I hate watching it. It's...

I hate that that happened to her. I'm falling asleep.

Okay, so...

- Murder - Mm-hmm.

Murder is relaxing for you.

But, like, a sweet film about a bear... What? It's giving you a panic attack?

Like, what?

It makes me feel like... I can't relate as much.

I'm not... I'm not the bear, you know?

Like, the bear found his family, found his people...

And look at me. I didn't.

But there is a bit of Paddington about you too, don't you think?

What do you mean?

Like, I don't know.

The way you've come over from America with a little tag around your neck

that says, "Please look after this girl."

Like, I don't heat everyone's noodles up.

And for some reason, I'm genuinely worried about

the amount of time you're spending on your phone and stuff.

I don't know. There's something about you that makes me want to take care of you.

Well, anyways, you like me now, but what if I gold-pants you?

What if you what?

-What? -What if I gold-pants you?

That's what we used to call it in college.

Where you'd be really horny for someone and then suddenly repulsed.

Like, my friend Jeanette used to date this guy

who was really sexy and cool and mature.

And then one day he came to pick her up for a date,

and he was wearing gold pants.

Oh.

-Have you ever been gold-pantsed? -Mm...

I mean, there is one girl who,

basically, we'd just have sex every year on my birthday for like nine years.

Wow. That's commitment.

And then one year, I woke up in her bed the morning after,

and she was eating the leftover Chinese food

that we'd had the night before.

M'kay, so no food in bed, I guess.

No, I eat in bed all the time. I literally eat my meals in bed.

But it was something more about, like,

her eyes were just sort of really vacant.

Like she wasn't even enjoying it 'cause that would almost be hot in a way.

But there was just this look that she had of...

I guess desperation or like a need that would never be fulfilled.

And there was something about it that just really...

I don't know. I guess it scared me.

Does that count? Is that gold-pants material?

Yeah, you got the ick.

How long have you been sober?

Um, like two and a half weeks.

It's actually been like... No, I'm actually doing really well.

I couldn't tell.

-I've done like nearly three years. -Okay.

Of like sober sober 'cause I stopped...

I obviously had to stop the harder stuff a bit before the booze, but...

Like, I'm not a member of a program,

but I do have one of those silly counter apps on my phone.

-What was, like, your rock bottom? -Oh man.

Like, there was one time when, uh...

I went on a bender and had sex with my sister.

...'s friend. My sister's friend.

Oh my God.

-That's psychotic. -Yeah.

You scared me so bad. I was sitting here thinking, like,

"I guess we could talk through it. People make mistakes."

It was just, like, a really messy night. We'd known each other since we were ten.

We were never really that into each other, but...

I woke up and, like, was completely out of it.

I think she must have been on her period

'cause it looked like I'd murdered her, and I'd shat myself.

She had a mirrored ceiling for some reason.

-So I could see the whole thing. -Oh my God.

And, like, the weird thing is, like, that wasn't even enough to stop me.

In the end, I think it was just like, I don't know,

trying to be a musician or whatever.

And like, if you're fucked the whole time, you can't write music, can you?

Or you can, but it would be fucking shit, so...

And then when I stopped using,

I started to remember all this stuff from my past.

Like what?

Oh, you know. Just like...

boring... stuff.

Hello, Mother.

I mean, honestly, I could take out a restraining order

against her at this point.

I mean, if you're talking that much,

she's not really giving you a chance, is she?

I think with British families, it's more like birds.

They boot you out the nest the second you don't need your worms chewing.

Well, Jewish women are like clothespins.

It hurts when they attach themselves to you.

Nice.

What about your dad?

-Well, he died. Yeah, he's dead. -Oh.

-For real? -Mm-hmm.

Sorry.

Why? Did ya kill him?

-Seriously, what was he like? -Um...

Well, he had Parkinson's disease, like

a really aggressive form called multiple systems atrophy.

It's like if Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's disease had an evil baby.

Um... he could barely talk.

And he would just sit in his easy chair all day and, like, watch old Westerns.

Just Butch Cassidy over and over and over again.

Yeah, but when I was younger,

oh my God, there's no one I'd rather see.

I'd be, like, stuck at an awful playdate, and then he'd walk in.

Thank God.

Hey, doll.

All right, okay. You wanna go?

You got your stuff?

Let's blow this popsicle stand.

This is, uh... I think it's a dog.

You could make it a unicorn.

-A dog unicorn? -Yeah.

A dog unicorn, okay.

He had these, like, really delicate hands.

-He was really good at making things. -I see.

I loved watching him play with clay.

Or roll a joint when he had friends over on Sunday for tennis.

Hey, hey, hey.

Go back to bed, honey. Go on.

Go on.

He told us that everyone should be able to drive a car,

roll a joint, and soft-boil an egg.

At the same time?

I can't do any of those things. He'd probably be fucking mortified.

-You can do maths, though. -Mm.

Maths.

Tell me about your parents.

Do you think Astrid can see colors?

Or do you think for dogs it's like the smells are the colors?

Hang on. Hang on.

Okay.

Um, hang on.

No, no. No, wait a sec.

Oh no.

-Mm. -Mm-hmm.

Ah, fuck it.

Fuck it. Fuck.

Oh, fuck. Sorry.

-One more? -Okay.

-No, fuck. -Okay.

-I gotta bail. Sorry. White flag. -Um...

I'm all outta cum.

Are you... Is everything okay? Like, you were yelling and...

-Yeah, no, sorry. I thought I'd... -Just didn't cum?

...go for gold, but I guess I'm in my thirties now.

I get it.

It's nothing that I did sexually, right?

Like, I didn't make you feel uncomfortable or do something that you didn't like

or maybe I did something you liked a lot but didn't do it for that long.

I was trying to do sex stuff with the toothbrush.

Don't know if that was coming across.

If you could see me in the mirror doing a lot of, like,

"Oh no! Is she gonna put it all the way in?"

You're sexy. You know you're sexy. What, are you fishing for compliments now?

-No. -I love your body.

I love everything about your body. I love how you fuck.

Also, actually, one specific thing I've been meaning to tell you.

You always have sex hair, which is really hot.

-Okay. Enough. -Drives me crazy.

I thought I wanted the compliments. I... I don't know if I want any more.

It's like I want the affirmation, but also, I'm like, "Yeah, I know."

I've always actually felt really hot, except for when I haven't.

Okay. So...

-You know? -When have you not felt hot?

I think every woman's been told that she's, like, not a model.

Even models are told that.

I feel embarrassed that I even said anything,

so let's just forget it and just agree that we're both attracted to each other.

I feel, like, insane for even bringing it up.

Yeah, I mean, if I could paint, I would paint the shit out of you,

for what it's worth.

I'd paint your tits and your arse and your cute little mouth.

-'Cause it looks like a rose. -Really?

Yeah, I'd paint it all day.

You're really hot, you know that?

Mm, thanks.

I'm not that invested in being hot, but...

Maybe you can, like, say some nice things about me.

-Seriously? -Yeah, I think I deserve it.

M'kay.

Um, I like that, um... that you're gentle,

but also really naughty.

Mm-hmm.

And I like that you're logical, but, like, in a really wild way.

And I like that, um, you know, usually I would go to sleep

to try to pass the time quicker.

But with you, I want to stretch it all out.

Okay, so when I press play, you have to get to kissin',

and you can't stop until the song's over.

-You'll be good 'cause you're a musician. -Okay. And how long is the song?

Never you mind. It doesn't matter.

-You're gonna be good at it. -M'kay.

You have to, like, kind of kiss to the, um, music, you know?

-Okay, you ready? -Mm-hmm.

Now, when I press play, you've got to get to kissin'.

And you can't stop until the song is done.

-How long is the song? -Oh, never you mind.

Sometimes, Wendy, life demands that you just show up and shut up.

Even if it's just for the length of a Funkadelic song.

What are you seeing?

-Like, right now? -Yeah, like, in your mind.

Um, like, outer space.

Which is so weird

'cause I don't really care about outer space.

What about you?

Like, I'm hiding in a bush.

And I can hear the enemy troops approaching.

But I've found a safe spot.

I'm not gonna get caught.

Really?

Oh, sorry.
