1
00:00:07,449 --> 00:00:08,950
Hey, I have a boyfriend.

2
00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:12,550
I was scared of leaving him because I
didn't want to be truly alone.

3
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:14,490
I'm sorry about your mom.

4
00:00:14,950 --> 00:00:16,590
She was 19 when she died.

5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:21,490
She escaped rehab, just some teen camp
out in the country. They found her a

6
00:00:21,490 --> 00:00:23,810
couple of weeks later in the city in
some random house.

7
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:27,090
You're looking for a job? Of course I'm
looking for a job.

8
00:00:27,430 --> 00:00:28,430
I've got some leads.

9
00:00:28,830 --> 00:00:32,610
Don't come looking at us for money. I'm
not looking at anybody for money, Dad. I

10
00:00:32,610 --> 00:00:33,610
had a really good job.

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,460
And I'll find another really good job.

12
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:37,860
Didn't you start a proper book?

13
00:00:38,140 --> 00:00:39,059
How's that going?

14
00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:40,060
Do you still have the advance?

15
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,680
Of course she still doesn't have it.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,020
I used to think this place was the
problem, but hopefully it's just me.

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,120
It's not you.

18
00:00:48,220 --> 00:00:50,460
You could go much further with what you
want to do.

19
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:54,620
And if you wanted to do anything, I'd
back you.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,420
You don't even know me.

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,140
I don't think that's true.

22
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,380
Well, let the record reflect I loved you
before I knew you were loaded.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
What did you say?

24
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:48,020
Firstly, it's a Saturday night, and
they're both smiling.

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,960
Look how anxious he is.

26
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,280
Yeah, but a smile is more... Delight?

27
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,400
I say first date.

28
00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:58,840
She's got her elbows on the table,
leaning in. Meaning relaxed and open?

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Yeah, but her legs are bent and one's to
the side a little. She's on edge.

30
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,140
He's straight, head to toe. Excellent
posture.

31
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:07,700
And in his lap, very formal.

32
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,620
Are we calling it first date?

33
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
No, it's not a first date. I say three
years.

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:14,409
That's a jump.

35
00:02:14,410 --> 00:02:15,690
Well, look at her. She's bored.

36
00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:18,190
You're right. It's lived in.

37
00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:21,450
But not three years. She's sad, not
bored. I'd say three months.

38
00:02:22,090 --> 00:02:23,190
Interesting. Explain.

39
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:26,170
She gave him a shot, even though he's
not her usual type.

40
00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:30,670
Yeah, he was confident at the start, but
then he let his insecurity take over,

41
00:02:30,750 --> 00:02:32,350
and now he's trying too hard.

42
00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:37,330
But it's been ages since someone's
treated her so well, so... Yeah, so

43
00:02:37,330 --> 00:02:41,510
been hoping for months that he'll turn
it around or be the one to bail first.

44
00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:43,270
How long do you give them?

45
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:45,970
A few weeks.

46
00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:47,090
Or 20 years.

47
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:51,590
What? I've seen relationships built on
much less go for much longer.

48
00:02:53,890 --> 00:02:55,490
Do you think they're looking at us?

49
00:02:57,070 --> 00:02:58,049
I think so.

50
00:02:58,050 --> 00:02:59,570
Do you think they're analysing us?

51
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:01,950
Probably.

52
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:03,810
What do you think they're saying?

53
00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:05,369
Who cares?

54
00:03:05,370 --> 00:03:06,370
That's their story.

55
00:03:07,030 --> 00:03:08,370
Oh, thank God.

56
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,000
This is why it should stay a party
trick. When you say the quiet parts out

57
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:15,880
the universe will hold a mirror up to
you.

58
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,100
Thank you.

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600
You're welcome. Can we get another
round, please? No problem.

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Will you think I'm disgusting if I take
my shoes off?

61
00:03:28,940 --> 00:03:29,940
Huh? Why?

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,740
I thought I'd break in these shoes
before tonight, so I wore them to the

63
00:03:35,740 --> 00:03:36,740
and then to vote.

64
00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:40,290
And then I got stuck at the polling
place for an hour and now I've got

65
00:03:41,470 --> 00:03:44,290
Again? Do I need to go and get you some
more band -aids?

66
00:03:45,090 --> 00:03:48,430
Seriously, what do you think I was
saying? Do you actually care? Yes, I

67
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:49,430
like being judged.

68
00:03:50,050 --> 00:03:53,590
Well, yeah, but everybody's judging
everybody all the time.

69
00:03:54,570 --> 00:03:57,770
I mean, people like to think they're
unique and special, but we're mostly

70
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:59,110
the same with a few degrees of
difference.

71
00:03:59,450 --> 00:04:00,750
You don't think I'm special?

72
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:03,370
I wasn't talking about you, of course.

73
00:04:03,980 --> 00:04:07,480
So what? We're all just porcelain dolls
with different makeup.

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,880
Hopefully not creepy.

75
00:04:09,860 --> 00:04:11,220
Wouldn't that be depressing, though?

76
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:12,800
No, why would it be?

77
00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:15,160
It means we have more in common than
not.

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,899
It also means that people are
interchangeable.

79
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,839
In theory, but not in practice.

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,780
You could put two virtually identical
people in front of someone, they'll

81
00:04:24,780 --> 00:04:26,020
gravitate towards the one.

82
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:27,300
Why?

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,740
Energy? Law of attraction?

84
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:31,760
Whatever you want to call it.

85
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:33,210
Hey, this is your theory.

86
00:04:35,330 --> 00:04:39,370
Well, when I was 17, my friends and I
were in the city and we got off a bus.

87
00:04:39,790 --> 00:04:43,890
And there was this girl with her parents
waiting to get on, probably 15, 15, I

88
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:45,710
don't know. I was 17.

89
00:04:46,410 --> 00:04:49,690
Well, now I'm going to need to see a
photo of you at 17 because all I'm

90
00:04:49,690 --> 00:04:52,310
picturing is bearded you checking out
some 15 -year -old.

91
00:04:52,550 --> 00:04:53,850
You don't want to see me at 17.

92
00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:58,730
But anyway, we locked eyes and...

93
00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:02,000
Seriously locked eyes, like we knew each
other. Did you know each other?

94
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:03,780
Nope, never seen her before or since.

95
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,920
Took me by surprise, her too.

96
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:08,180
Oh, you spoke to her?

97
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:09,780
Nope, but I could tell.

98
00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:11,260
You could always tell.

99
00:05:12,460 --> 00:05:13,460
Then what happened?

100
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,680
Nothing.

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,920
We just turned and looked at each other
as we passed, and then I stood there and

102
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,640
watched, and they all sat near the
window, and she looked at me.

103
00:05:22,300 --> 00:05:23,560
And then the bus took off again.

104
00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:26,419
That's cute.

105
00:05:26,420 --> 00:05:28,400
No, that's the thing.

106
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,880
Wasn't cute.

107
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,260
Forget the shit out of me.

108
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:35,680
Even the friends I was with were like,
what the fuck was that?

109
00:05:37,980 --> 00:05:39,500
Maybe she was your soulmate.

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,520
You blew it. Now you're stuck with me.

111
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,040
You've never heard anything like that
happen before?

112
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:49,060
Yeah.

113
00:05:50,940 --> 00:05:54,840
Now I'm trying to think, was I ever in
the city with my parents when I was 15?

114
00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:57,140
That would be very cool and convenient.

115
00:05:57,850 --> 00:05:58,850
That you'd remember.

116
00:05:59,050 --> 00:06:01,190
Do you think she tells the same story?

117
00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:03,890
Yeah, I do.

118
00:06:04,670 --> 00:06:05,670
Close your eyes.

119
00:06:21,170 --> 00:06:22,430
Did you feel that?

120
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:24,990
Yeah.

121
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:27,960
I thought you were going to kiss me.

122
00:06:34,820 --> 00:06:35,820
Sorry to interrupt.

123
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,400
Thanks.

124
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:39,740
Thank you.

125
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:42,640
Cheer to us.

126
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:43,900
Nice choice.

127
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,460
This place is fancy. You didn't have to
go all out. Yes, I did. I told you.

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,300
Well, you know, I can get half if you...
No.

129
00:06:52,620 --> 00:06:53,620
No.

130
00:06:53,940 --> 00:06:55,620
Don't emasculate me.

131
00:06:56,860 --> 00:06:59,580
Besides, I've got money to burn. At
least I will have anyway.

132
00:06:59,820 --> 00:07:02,420
Fake it till you make it. That's what
they say, right?

133
00:07:03,340 --> 00:07:06,740
Yes, I forgot to tell you. I've got a
job lined up.

134
00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:08,700
Amazing. What is it?

135
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:15,140
Same shit, different place, but that's a
step up, kind of.

136
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:20,680
Slightly less money, but it puts me in
the iPhone reviews league and some

137
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,540
editorial responsibilities, et cetera.

138
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,400
I thought you didn't want to review the
iPhones.

139
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,720
people who don't review the iPhone say.

140
00:07:29,820 --> 00:07:32,020
Okay, I just thought you were going to
take some time and work on your writing.

141
00:07:32,180 --> 00:07:37,600
I am, but I need a job eventually, and
this one came up, so... Or you could be

142
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,700
an instant literary hit and not need a
job.

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,920
It happens.

144
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Not to me.

145
00:07:44,500 --> 00:07:45,500
I know myself.

146
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,020
I'm going to be out of my mind with
anxiety while the clock and the money

147
00:07:49,020 --> 00:07:52,240
down, and I won't be able to concentrate
on anything until I have something.

148
00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:53,760
I need a safety net.

149
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,140
And I am still going to write.

150
00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:58,420
But we have the time.

151
00:07:59,220 --> 00:08:01,860
Isn't this more responsibility, more
work? Yes.

152
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,919
For less money?

153
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,000
Okay. You hated your last job and you
wanted to write then, but you didn't. I

154
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,500
don't have a savings like you do, Ryan.
I don't have a buffer.

155
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:11,820
It's kind of different.

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,500
It's like you're judging me. No, I'm
not.

157
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,560
Sorry.

158
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,760
I am still going to write. Good, I know.
I am.

159
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,360
I know. I'm glad.

160
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,480
I believe you.

161
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,320
Hey, I'm sorry.

162
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,500
Really. I'm in no position to judge you.
I don't like my job either, so just

163
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:36,500
tell me to fuck off.

164
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,980
Mains will be here shortly.

165
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,659
Can I get you anything in the meantime?

166
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,960
No, thanks. All good. Thank you.

167
00:09:06,770 --> 00:09:08,070
We won the election.

168
00:09:10,530 --> 00:09:11,530
Congratulations.

169
00:09:13,690 --> 00:09:14,690
Congratulations.

170
00:09:17,990 --> 00:09:20,430
Congratulations. That's good.

171
00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:21,810
If you're happy, I'm happy.

172
00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:24,310
Wait, who'd you vote for?

173
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:25,630
Didn't vote for anybody.

174
00:09:25,870 --> 00:09:27,130
You forgot to vote.

175
00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:28,470
No, I just didn't vote.

176
00:09:29,190 --> 00:09:30,570
But you'll get fined.

177
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,280
I think they probably printed out my
fine yesterday in anticipation.

178
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:35,540
They know where I live.

179
00:09:38,020 --> 00:09:39,160
You didn't want to vote.

180
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:42,960
No. I knew which way it was going to go,
so I didn't see the point. Because you

181
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,619
have to.

182
00:09:43,620 --> 00:09:45,520
Well, clearly not. I'm happy to pay the
fine.

183
00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:48,520
I don't think it should be compulsory.
But it is.

184
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,020
So everybody gets to decide. That's kind
of the point.

185
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,540
Can we talk about something else? No,
I'd like to keep talking about this.

186
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Okay.

187
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,520
I just don't think elections matter.

188
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,320
Well, if everyone thought that way, we
could have lost.

189
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:04,540
What do you mean by we?

190
00:10:07,820 --> 00:10:08,820
Wait.

191
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:11,280
Are you a... I'm not a anything.

192
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,900
But why would you assume that we're on
the same side?

193
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,140
Because you're kind and caring and
empathetic and usually... And my

194
00:10:20,140 --> 00:10:23,400
are kind and caring and empathetic, but
they're church -going boomers. Who do

195
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,400
you think they voted for?

196
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,000
And I'm from an upper -middle -class
suburb?

197
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280
Private boys' school, an accountant who
deals with big corporations and

198
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,340
finances, and it doesn't matter. I'm not
on any side.

199
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:36,780
It does matter. Why?

200
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,280
Because the people we elect make
decisions that affect people's lives in

201
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,900
tangible ways. In a perfect world that
we don't live in, and I don't care about

202
00:10:45,900 --> 00:10:46,900
this. You don't care?

203
00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:48,400
No, not really, not enough.

204
00:10:49,020 --> 00:10:50,020
Wow.

205
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,320
Look, I don't not care. It's by choice.

206
00:10:55,050 --> 00:10:58,770
It must be nice to have the choice not
to care about other people. I care about

207
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:01,790
other people. I just don't follow this
shit enough to have an opinion, that's

208
00:11:01,790 --> 00:11:05,010
all. It seems like you do actually have
an opinion. My opinion is that I don't

209
00:11:05,010 --> 00:11:06,570
think it matters as much as you think it
does.

210
00:11:07,390 --> 00:11:10,570
I just don't think anything really
changes cycle to cycle, so why spend

211
00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:13,810
getting worked up when it doesn't go
your way? I'm not getting worked up.

212
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:20,550
I'm just trying to see this from your
point of view. You don't think things

213
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:22,030
change? Not because of elections.

214
00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:25,650
We just went through an entire global
pandemic that would have happened no

215
00:11:25,650 --> 00:11:29,750
matter who was at the wheel, and it's
easier to blame one... Look, I'm sorry,

216
00:11:29,870 --> 00:11:32,010
this is stupid. It's not stupid. It's
stupid.

217
00:11:32,210 --> 00:11:36,470
It's just drama and entertainment for
bored people. It's just storyline. I'm a

218
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:40,630
bored person, easily amused by the
shitty state of the world. No, I don't

219
00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:41,810
you believe in any of it either.

220
00:11:43,310 --> 00:11:49,750
Okay. I believe in not going into debt
to access medical care.

221
00:11:50,350 --> 00:11:56,670
I believe in subsidized child care. I
believe in First Nations reparations. I

222
00:11:56,670 --> 00:12:01,690
believe in public housing. And I believe
in community programs. I don't know how

223
00:12:01,690 --> 00:12:04,870
much of that is belief and how much is
just the same kind of well -intentioned

224
00:12:04,870 --> 00:12:05,970
naivety. I'm naive.

225
00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:10,890
I didn't say that. You literally just
did. I meant most people. But not me.

226
00:12:11,250 --> 00:12:15,170
You know what I mean. Most people don't
give a shit. Seriously, how can you even

227
00:12:15,170 --> 00:12:16,170
say that?

228
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:19,730
Most people vote against whatever's
annoying them on that day.

229
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,980
If you ask them going in what they don't
like and they say, well, I'm sick of

230
00:12:22,980 --> 00:12:26,100
the traffic lights in town, and you say,
well, good news, our guy is going to

231
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,700
fix that, then you've got their vote.

232
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:31,500
No broader consideration for the complex
state of world affairs. They just hate

233
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:32,960
those fucking traffic lights. They don't
care.

234
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:37,840
And everyone else already made up their
mind years ago, do or die, so I don't

235
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:38,759
want to talk about this.

236
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,420
No, this is really interesting.

237
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,380
I'd like you to go back to the traffic
lights.

238
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,999
Start over.

239
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,300
Okay, look, I just don't think things
change for long enough, and I don't

240
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:50,059
they ever will.

241
00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:53,480
I think we've swung and balanced the
power from left to right since the

242
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,840
political system became a thing, and I
think that's how it's probably always

243
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,840
going to be.

244
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Everyone keeps talking about a
revolution that will finally come and

245
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,760
everybody's shit, but I've never seen
that happen.

246
00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:07,820
In reality, it's just one group of
people are happy for three or four

247
00:13:07,820 --> 00:13:10,300
then the other group complain about it
until things go their way.

248
00:13:11,439 --> 00:13:14,880
About the world going down the toilet,
that's not valid enough to complain

249
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,260
about. Of course it is.

250
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,120
But then jump over to the other side for
a second. You think they're not sitting

251
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,620
in restaurants, miserable, complaining
about all the things that you're now

252
00:13:21,620 --> 00:13:23,240
happy about? Who cares? They're wrong.

253
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,780
You're being reductive, and that's my
point. Everybody thinks they're right.

254
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:26,779
That's the problem.

255
00:13:26,780 --> 00:13:27,780
Wow.

256
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,360
This is the most privileged upper -class
shit I've ever heard you say.

257
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:35,440
I don't bring this up. I don't talk
about this stuff. I talk about things

258
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,140
care about. Oh, so you do care about
stuff?

259
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,300
Yeah. The important stuff.

260
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,540
I care about me. I care about you. I
care about my family. Everything in my

261
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:45,540
circle I care about.

262
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:47,940
Jeez, I'm not a bad guy.

263
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:49,720
I recycle.

264
00:13:50,060 --> 00:13:53,400
I pull over and pick up lost dogs. I
hold the elevator doors open for the guy

265
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,260
the wheelchair in my office building. I
buy an extra slice of pizza for the

266
00:13:56,260 --> 00:13:59,360
homeless dude on the street. Well, that
guy might not be homeless with the right

267
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,140
people in power. I think he probably
would.

268
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,700
And maybe if there were less people
talking grandiose bullshit and more

269
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:07,160
out there doing nice day -to -day
things, then we wouldn't be treating

270
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,520
other like fucking enemies. We would
actually be moving towards something

271
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
meaningful. No, not like you. I didn't
say you.

272
00:14:12,660 --> 00:14:13,660
We're all just people.

273
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,900
We're all just trying to live our lives.
What's the point in shoving opinions

274
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:18,720
down everyone's throat? Is that what you
think I'm doing?

275
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,340
I didn't say that. But it's what you
believe.

276
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,780
I believe they're talking about change
and actually making change.

277
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,520
But all I hear are people that won't
accept anything less than a complete

278
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,520
revolution.

279
00:14:31,310 --> 00:14:35,070
I mean, I give a slice of pizza to the
dude outside my office and I'm the bad

280
00:14:35,070 --> 00:14:38,610
guy because it's a frivolous gesture
that doesn't solve the entire homeless

281
00:14:38,610 --> 00:14:39,610
epidemic.

282
00:14:39,690 --> 00:14:42,650
But you know what? That guy got a slice
of pizza and he didn't have to sit

283
00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:45,530
through somebody's rubbish to get it.
And that may not be meaningful in the

284
00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:48,330
broad strokes of bringing justice and
equality to all, but at least I did

285
00:14:48,330 --> 00:14:51,470
something that meant something to him
instead of talking about how great

286
00:14:51,470 --> 00:14:53,410
could be if the tide changed. Okay,
okay, okay.

287
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,940
No one's calling you a bad guy for
sharing your pizza, right? It's just a

288
00:14:58,940 --> 00:15:01,660
fucking game. It's not a game. It's a
game. It's not a game.

289
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,680
Acts of service towards people in need
and positive systemic change are not

290
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,680
mutually exclusive.

291
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,960
You know, you can give a homeless man a
slice and still vote in the fucking

292
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,960
election.

293
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:17,960
How come you never brought any of this
up before? Why would I mention something

294
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,960
that I don't care about?

295
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:19,799
But you do.

296
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,100
I don't. I don't.

297
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:22,420
I did.

298
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:23,640
Once upon a time.

299
00:15:24,540 --> 00:15:28,520
And now I don't. I couldn't care less,
actually. That's clearly not true.

300
00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:32,360
Was I meant to give you a bullet point
list of all my political beliefs?

301
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,720
We like this exam.

302
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,440
What?

303
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,000
Why are you bringing her up? What's she
got to do with it?

304
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Because it lasted five years.

305
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,740
It didn't last for five years. It went
on for five years. Did she see this side

306
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:47,740
of you?

307
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,980
Because this is the first time I've ever
seen you fired up. I'm not fired up?

308
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,300
You are fired up.

309
00:15:54,469 --> 00:15:59,670
You're usually so charming, so
empathetic, so perfect.

310
00:16:00,430 --> 00:16:04,750
You have these great observations about
everyone else, but I had no idea that

311
00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:05,750
you felt this way.

312
00:16:07,390 --> 00:16:08,690
I can't read you.

313
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:11,150
Yes, you can. No, I can't.

314
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:17,110
I feel like I don't even know you. Yes,
you do. You're being antagonistic, and I

315
00:16:17,110 --> 00:16:18,850
don't know why. I thought you knew
everything.

316
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:20,670
Why are you doing this? I'm not doing
anything.

317
00:16:22,090 --> 00:16:23,390
This is all you.

318
00:16:24,199 --> 00:16:26,980
I'm just feeding you the rope. Oh, I
know that much. Thank you.

319
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,520
You know, maybe I'm just not as tuned in
to the frequency as you are, Ryan.

320
00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:34,600
Maybe I need more.

321
00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:39,860
Was I supposed to give you, like, change
my personality, become a new human

322
00:16:39,860 --> 00:16:42,400
being just to make you more comfortable
in your own insecurities?

323
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,580
Is that what you wanted from me?

324
00:16:47,220 --> 00:16:50,660
If I said things out loud, you'd think I
was an arsehole.

325
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,420
Maybe you are an arsehole. Oh, thank
you. You're welcome.

326
00:16:55,839 --> 00:16:59,180
Thoughts aren't feelings. I process
things in my head. I think before I

327
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:02,840
Unlike me.

328
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:10,060
So you've been constantly judging me in
your head.

329
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:12,160
No. What would make you think that?

330
00:17:12,579 --> 00:17:15,260
One thing does not equal the other. It's
called complexity of thought.

331
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:19,920
So if you think before you speak, what
do I do?

332
00:17:20,869 --> 00:17:24,609
You process things out loud, and that's
fine. There's nothing wrong with that.

333
00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:26,130
Besides the lack of complexity.

334
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:28,089
What am I allowed to say here? Give me
the rules.

335
00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:32,670
There are no rules, Ryan. You can say
whatever you want. You're a full -grown

336
00:17:32,670 --> 00:17:33,670
human being.

337
00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:37,550
It turns out neither of us like being
judged.

338
00:17:41,530 --> 00:17:44,470
Party trick isn't as fun when it's
turned on you, is it?

339
00:17:45,730 --> 00:17:48,490
Talk about the universe holding up a
fucking mirror.

340
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,160
We have something else.

341
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,200
Something more.

342
00:18:09,020 --> 00:18:10,020
And you know it.

343
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,740
There could be a million Emilys by my
side and I'd still pick you, I'd still

344
00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:16,740
know you.

345
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:20,800
Do you think if this wasn't this and you
weren't you, then I wouldn't have just

346
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,800
bailed right from the start?

347
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:26,760
So you do do charity after all. I fell
in love with you before I found out how

348
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:27,760
fucked up you are.

349
00:18:29,940 --> 00:18:30,940
Wow.

350
00:18:32,740 --> 00:18:34,200
Thanks. I didn't mean that.

351
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,860
I'm sorry. I'm not trying to change you,
Emily.

352
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,660
And I'm sorry I judged you with the job.

353
00:18:41,220 --> 00:18:42,340
That was shitty of me.

354
00:18:45,380 --> 00:18:48,540
But I love you, and I'm still here, and
I'm not going anywhere.

355
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,260
So that makes you this great fucking guy
because you're willing to tolerate me?

356
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,460
I'm not tolerating you.

357
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,840
Not now, clearly. I'm not tolerating
you.

358
00:19:04,940 --> 00:19:09,420
You use your privilege and optimism to
shield you from reality. My privilege?

359
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,380
You're not exactly a street orphan,
Emily. You just play one really well.

360
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,300
There is something as dark inside you as
any of the bleak bullshit that comes

361
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:21,900
out of my mouth when I sit here and act
like I'm the only fucked up one at this

362
00:19:21,900 --> 00:19:25,460
table. Well, you use your pessimism as a
shield from what's possible. And if you

363
00:19:25,460 --> 00:19:26,900
keep it up, you'll end up alone again.

364
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:29,600
I'm not your fucking mother.

365
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:31,540
I don't need saving.

366
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:42,060
Is that what you think this is?

367
00:19:45,060 --> 00:19:46,060
You tell me.

368
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,960
You want me to tell you to fuck off?

369
00:19:53,140 --> 00:19:55,120
Because that would be easier for you and
you get to walk away?

370
00:19:55,580 --> 00:19:58,940
And then I get to be just another guy in
a long line of disappointing assholes

371
00:19:58,940 --> 00:19:59,940
who'll let you down?

372
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:02,560
I'm not going to do that.

373
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,680
Emily, if you want to go, you can go,
but do it on your own. You tell me to

374
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:10,680
off.

375
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:13,270
Because I'm not going to indulge in your
self -destructive bullshit.

376
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,060
Is this taken?

377
00:22:40,140 --> 00:22:41,140
Sorry.
