-How's your book coming?

Great interview.

Hey.

34
00:01:46,231 --> 00:01:47,524
So, Wally, any Valentine's plans?

Not that I can think of.

00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:51,903
That used to be me.

37
00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:54,948
It's amazing what having a lady
in your life will do for you.

38
00:01:55,657 --> 00:01:57,575
It's one of the perks
of being published. You'll see.

Is that one of those parties

49

where everyone without dates
gets together and commiserates?

50
00:02:25,353 --> 00:02:26,187
It's fun.

00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:28,148
You know what, Sasha? I'll think about it.

52
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:29,149
Great.

00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,110
I mean, how polite is it for you
to invite me to this thing

I'd really like to go out with you?

00:02:34,863 --> 00:02:36,406
You're overthinking this. I...

56
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:37,615
Is that a surprise?

00:02:37,699 --> 00:02:39,701

to take someone special to dinner,

gonna mope around tonight,

to go there, okay?

when it's a little less humiliating?

109
00:05:03,011 --> 00:05:05,513
No. It's not as romantic on another night.

111
00:05:07,390 --> 00:05:09,183

Come on, Wally!

119
00:05:24,532 --> 00:05:27,118
The three of us can sit around here
all night and feel sorry for ourselves

120
00:05:27,201 --> 00:05:28,995
or we can get out there
and have a good time.

00:07:02,255 --> 00:07:03,589
[Jesse] We got to get out of here.

143
00:07:03,881 --> 00:07:06,217
We need to go where normal people go.

There's this guy who comes
to the video store, Mark Stein.

148
00:07:15,017 --> 00:07:16,018
I know him.

149
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:19,313
Yeah. Well, when Mark can't get laid
for a couple of months,

150
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:23,860
he drives down to this great club
in Vegas, Friday nights,

151
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:25,987
hooks up every time.

152
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:29,782
-Mark does?
-Yeah, can you believe it?

153
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,663
You know, Kevin, if we leave right now,

154
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:37,790
we could be there by one.

155
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:39,292
Are you crazy?

156
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:42,503
It's Valentine's night.
I mean, no women are going to...

157
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,046
No, no, no. Think about it.

158
00:07:44,714 --> 00:07:48,342
No single woman in that club
is gonna wanna go home alone, right?

159
00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:50,928
They're all gonna be looking for love.

160
00:07:51,220 --> 00:07:54,432
It could be the best night
of the year to go.

161
00:07:55,183 --> 00:07:56,142
Yeah.

162
00:07:56,517 --> 00:07:58,769
In a weird way, that makes sense.

163
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:00,646
So, what do you say?

164
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:02,565
I know I don't wanna go home.

165
00:08:04,066 --> 00:08:05,151
I'm game.

166
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:09,405
And he's certainly in no position
to object.

00:08:11,866 --> 00:08:12,950

[Jesse] Take a guess.

176
00:08:46,567 --> 00:08:48,611
Uh, Las Vegas?

[both] Surprise!

178
00:08:51,113 --> 00:08:52,782
But I don't wanna be in Las Vegas.

179
00:08:53,157 --> 00:08:54,575
[Wally] I wanna be in my bed.

180
00:08:54,659 --> 00:08:56,202
[Jesse] Oh, relax, Wally.

181
00:08:56,285 --> 00:08:58,329
You slept the whole way,
you didn't even have to drive,

182
00:08:58,412 --> 00:08:59,580

00:22:03,613 --> 00:22:04,614
[Wally] Yes.

368
00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:06,491
Yeah, right.

369
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:07,951
Okay, enough, Wally.

370
00:22:08,035 --> 00:22:09,453
This game is getting old.

371
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:11,788
-[Wally] It's not a game.
-[Jesse] Okay.

372
00:22:11,872 --> 00:22:13,790
-I'm gonna go get her.
-No! No.

373
00:22:14,207 --> 00:22:17,044
It was a one-time thing.
It will ruin it to see her again.

374
00:22:18,587 --> 00:22:20,339
-Oh, here he is. Hey.
-[Chuck] Hi, babe.

375
00:22:20,589 --> 00:22:21,631
We're ready.

376
00:22:22,049 --> 00:22:23,925
How do you explain the boyfriend?

377
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:27,137
[Jesse] I knew you were a liar.

378
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:29,347
Now, that guy makes sense.

379
00:22:35,854 --> 00:22:36,855
Oh, my god.

380
00:22:38,940 --> 00:22:39,941
Hello.

381
00:22:42,152 --> 00:22:43,361
Who is this, babe?

382
00:22:43,904 --> 00:22:46,323
Chuck, this is the guy from last night.

383
00:22:46,406 --> 00:22:47,783
Oh, hi.

384
00:22:48,158 --> 00:22:49,367
[Chuck] Very nice to meet you.

385
00:22:49,659 --> 00:22:51,203
She's something else, isn't she?

386
00:22:52,245 --> 00:22:53,163
Well...

387
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:55,165
enjoy your brunch.

388
00:22:55,373 --> 00:22:56,917
[hurried footsteps]

389
00:22:59,753 --> 00:23:00,962
What just happened?

390
00:23:03,131 --> 00:23:06,134
[calm music]

391
00:23:07,469 --> 00:23:11,014
[Jesse] Maybe she really was a prostitute
and took a liking to Wally,

392
00:23:11,098 --> 00:23:12,641
and that guy was her pimp.

393
00:23:12,933 --> 00:23:14,184
[Kevin] He didn't look like a pimp.

394
00:23:14,267 --> 00:23:16,269
[Jesse] How do you know
what a pimp looks like these days?

395
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:18,105
It's Las Vegas. Everything is cleaned up.

396
00:23:18,897 --> 00:23:20,232
It's possible.

397
00:23:21,316 --> 00:23:22,651
[Kevin] You're right, Wally.

398
00:23:23,110 --> 00:23:25,987
She was beautiful in a normal kind of way.

399
00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:29,116
[Jesse] Shit, we gotta get gas.

400
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,036
[car engine rumbling]

401
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:39,960
[clanking]

402
00:23:42,796 --> 00:23:43,755
[Jesse] Hey.

403
00:23:44,756 --> 00:23:46,049
Look who's here.

404
00:23:49,594 --> 00:23:50,595
Oh, my god.

405
00:23:50,679 --> 00:23:53,431
Wally, you have to ask them
what was going on.

406
00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:56,935
You know you're dying to know.
This is your one opportunity.

407
00:24:02,732 --> 00:24:03,984
-Okay.
-[Kevin] Yes.

408
00:24:04,067 --> 00:24:06,027
-[Jesse] Stand up.
-[Wally] This will be weird.

409
00:24:16,246 --> 00:24:17,330
Excuse me.

410
00:24:20,876 --> 00:24:21,960
Excuse me!

411
00:24:24,588 --> 00:24:25,839
Sweetheart, look who it is.

412
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:27,382
Hey.

413
00:24:27,841 --> 00:24:30,010
Oh, wow!
[Chuck snickers]

414
00:24:30,093 --> 00:24:32,012
-What a weird...
-I know.

415
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,515
Are you heading back to the Eastside?

416
00:24:37,225 --> 00:24:38,643
Back to Century City?

417
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:41,146
-Actually, we live in Cheviot Hills.
-Right.

418
00:24:41,229 --> 00:24:44,482
Jeanine just works at Century City,
at The Art of Shaving.

419
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,484
I know.

420
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:52,866
I just wanted to ask...

421
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:55,076
[Wally] I didn't understand...

422
00:24:55,994 --> 00:24:59,039
It was just a little confusing to me,
uh, about her and me,

423
00:24:59,122 --> 00:25:00,373
and then, and then you and her.

424
00:25:00,457 --> 00:25:02,334
Totally understand your confusion.

425
00:25:02,417 --> 00:25:03,919
Whole damn thing is my fault.

426
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:06,213
[Chuck] You see, Jeanine and I,
we're getting married in June,

427
00:25:06,296 --> 00:25:09,216
and before we do, I just felt like
it was very important for us

428
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,842
to spend one night with another person

429
00:25:10,926 --> 00:25:13,136
-to, you know, get it out of the system.
-Right.

430
00:25:14,846 --> 00:25:17,349
-On Valentine's Day?
-I know, right?

431
00:25:17,432 --> 00:25:20,393
We were gonna do it tonight,
but then, when we got to Vegas, we...

432
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:22,979
I don't know, it just seemed weird
to spend Valentine's together,

433
00:25:23,063 --> 00:25:25,106
and then sleep with someone else
the next night.

434
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,775
-Yeah.
-So last night,

435
00:25:26,858 --> 00:25:29,402
I had this stripper
from the Sapphire Club,

436
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:31,655
not a lot going on upstairs,
if you know what I mean.

437
00:25:31,738 --> 00:25:33,365
But just, like, been around the block

438
00:25:33,448 --> 00:25:35,408
-Babe, let's...
-which is just... Yeah, but it's perfect

439
00:25:35,492 --> 00:25:36,326
for this kind of thing.

440
00:25:36,409 --> 00:25:37,702
[Chuck] And I told Jeanine,

441
00:25:37,786 --> 00:25:40,372
I told her to go
and find something similar,

442
00:25:40,455 --> 00:25:42,999
you know, like a Chippendale,
love-them-and-leave-them kind of dude,

443
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:44,876
-[Jeanine] I didn't.
-but, no.

444
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,254
She went and found herself
a nice guy like yourself.

445
00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:51,883
And, listen, she and I both feel
that she made a terrible mistake.

446
00:25:52,175 --> 00:25:54,344
[Jeanine] I am so sorry, Wally,

447
00:25:54,427 --> 00:25:56,888
if you thought that you and I...

448
00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:59,724
It was not my intention at all, and I...

449
00:26:00,475 --> 00:26:02,227
I really feel terrible about it.

450
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,107
Are you okay, champ?

451
00:26:08,483 --> 00:26:11,152
Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

452
00:26:11,403 --> 00:26:12,654
No problem at all.

453
00:26:13,863 --> 00:26:15,490
Congratulations on your marriage.

454
00:26:16,116 --> 00:26:17,492
-Thank you.
-Thank you.

455
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:19,494
Hey, Wally.

456
00:26:20,829 --> 00:26:21,997
[Chuck] Think about it.

457
00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:24,374
-She could have had anybody in Vegas,
-Oh.

458
00:26:24,457 --> 00:26:26,167
-she picked you.
-Hm.

459
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:36,136
[Wally] Let's get out of here.
There's something wrong with those people.

460
00:26:36,219 --> 00:26:37,721
Something seriously wrong.

461
00:26:41,057 --> 00:26:42,267
[thudding]

462
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:48,440
[somber music]

463
00:27:00,452 --> 00:27:03,455
[somber music continues]

464
00:27:14,341 --> 00:27:16,718
You don't mind that we didn't spend
another night in Vegas, do you?

465
00:27:16,801 --> 00:27:20,305
Oh, no. No, it's fine.
I am so glad to be home.

466
00:27:22,057 --> 00:27:23,141
Are you okay?

467
00:27:23,683 --> 00:27:25,477
Mm-hm, totally.

468
00:27:28,730 --> 00:27:30,273
It was a bit weird, wasn't it?

469
00:27:31,024 --> 00:27:32,400
[chuckling]

470
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:34,444
Yeah. Just a little.

471
00:27:34,527 --> 00:27:36,112
I mean, what was he like?

472
00:27:36,821 --> 00:27:37,906
What?

473
00:27:37,989 --> 00:27:40,158
-You know, what was he like?
-Chuck.

474
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:43,411
No. We agreed to never talk about that.

475
00:27:46,122 --> 00:27:47,957
Yeah, okay. All right, you're right.

476
00:27:48,041 --> 00:27:49,334
I'm sorry, you're right.

477
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:51,002
I'm sorry.
[sighs]

478
00:27:51,378 --> 00:27:52,796
[exhales]

479
00:27:52,879 --> 00:27:55,632
It's just, I still feel so bad
about what I did.

480
00:27:56,299 --> 00:27:58,259
Don't feel bad about it.
[chuckles]

481
00:27:58,343 --> 00:27:59,719
I just...
[exhales]

482
00:28:00,345 --> 00:28:02,180
I wish I could make it up to him.

483
00:28:03,014 --> 00:28:04,182
[sighs]

484
00:28:04,265 --> 00:28:05,809
Maybe we could set him up with someone?

485
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:08,395
Oh, come on.
I mean, who do we know that would be...

486
00:28:08,895 --> 00:28:11,564
-okay with a guy like that.
-Oh, yeah, you're right.

487
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:13,775
Wait.

488
00:28:14,109 --> 00:28:15,527
What about Tammy?

489
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:17,612
Tammy Delacourt?

490
00:28:17,695 --> 00:28:18,613
No...

491
00:28:18,696 --> 00:28:19,906
-No.
-No.

492
00:28:19,989 --> 00:28:22,409
[chuckling]
No! Tammy Gordon from the gym.

493
00:28:23,076 --> 00:28:24,744
-The Laker Girl.
-[Jeanine] Yeah.

494
00:28:24,828 --> 00:28:26,413
-Ooh.
-Yeah.

495
00:28:26,496 --> 00:28:29,416
She seems open-minded.

496
00:28:29,749 --> 00:28:31,334
I bet she'd really dig him.

497
00:28:31,418 --> 00:28:33,586
-Actually, that's not a bad idea.
-Yeah.

498
00:28:34,462 --> 00:28:37,173
Yeah, and she just got out
of that terrible relationship.

499
00:28:37,257 --> 00:28:38,925
Wally would be a good change for her.

500
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:40,552
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

501
00:28:40,635 --> 00:28:42,178
-All right. That's perfect.
-Yeah.

502
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:43,513
I'll see if she's interested.

503
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:44,889
Who knows?

504
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:46,599
Maybe they'll like each other.
[chuckles]

505
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:49,936

507
00:28:55,734 --> 00:28:56,693
Wally.

508
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:58,486
[Robby] Wally!

509
00:28:58,570 --> 00:28:59,946
I'm late for work, Robby.

510
00:29:00,697 --> 00:29:02,657
Did you catch the piece about me
in The Paris Review?

511
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,159
No.

512
00:29:18,923 --> 00:29:20,592
[clattering]

513
00:29:22,218 --> 00:29:23,219
Anything else?

514
00:29:24,137 --> 00:29:25,221
You know, Wally,

515
00:29:25,805 --> 00:29:28,433
if it makes you uncomfortable,
you don't have to read it.

516
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:35,774

A Street Urchin Finds a Voice.

In his excruciatingly beautiful memoir,
MacArthur Parked,

519
00:29:45,992 --> 00:29:50,830
Robert "Robby" LeBeau has burst
onto the American literary landscape...

[classical music continues]

528
00:31:01,317 --> 00:31:04,696
Hi, sorry to bother you,
but I'm looking for this guy called Wally.

529
00:31:04,779 --> 00:31:07,615
[Chuck] Uh, little dude, like, 5'7",

530
00:31:07,699 --> 00:31:09,701
140 pounds on a good day.

531
00:31:09,784 --> 00:31:11,286
Uh, he's a writer.

532
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:12,495
You know him?

533
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:15,206
Are you a cop?

534
00:31:15,832 --> 00:31:17,876
Am I a cop? No, I play golf.

535
00:31:17,959 --> 00:31:21,212
Um, in fact, I was on the tour
for a couple of years,

536
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:22,797
and, uh, now, I'm a golf pro

537
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:25,258
at the Cinque Terre Country Club
in the Palisades.

538
00:31:25,341 --> 00:31:26,843
-[Chuck] You know it?
-Uh...

539
00:31:26,926 --> 00:31:31,681
I'm just curious why you don't seem
to know this guy's last name.

540
00:31:31,848 --> 00:31:33,600
He never told it to me.
[soft chuckle]

541
00:31:34,684 --> 00:31:35,685
Hm.

542
00:31:37,020 --> 00:31:38,479
Uh, I don't wanna cause any trouble.

543
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,398
I just thought, you know,

544
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:44,611
he's a writer and this is a bookstore,
there'd be a connection.

545
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:48,907
[romantic music]

546
00:31:54,287 --> 00:31:57,123
[romantic music continues]

547
00:31:59,584 --> 00:32:00,710
[knocking on door]

548
00:32:01,419 --> 00:32:03,338
[heavy breathing]

549
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:08,843
[knocking on door]

550
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,100
Hi! Is, uh... Is Wally here?

551
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:18,853
No.

552
00:32:20,146 --> 00:32:21,981
You're one of his friends
from Vegas, right?

553
00:32:25,193 --> 00:32:26,402
Good to see you again.

554
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:27,987
Thank you.

555
00:32:29,113 --> 00:32:30,698
So, Jeanine and I, we, uh...

556
00:32:30,782 --> 00:32:33,868
We felt terrible
about everything that happened, and...

557
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:36,746
Well, we were hoping that we could
set Wally up with our friend, Tammy.

558
00:32:36,829 --> 00:32:38,498
She's this really great girl.

559
00:32:38,581 --> 00:32:39,874
You wanna set up Wally?

560
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,084
Yeah, with our friend, Tammy.

561
00:32:41,167 --> 00:32:43,086
I think he'd really dig her.
She's a Laker Girl.

562
00:32:44,170 --> 00:32:45,505
A Laker Girl?

563
00:32:45,713 --> 00:32:47,173
Yeah, she's very good.

564
00:32:47,256 --> 00:32:48,383
You're kidding me, right?

565
00:32:48,716 --> 00:32:50,134
Who knows Laker Girls?

566
00:32:50,677 --> 00:32:52,053
Jeanine and I know several.

567
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:54,389
Wally loves the Lakers. He's a fan.

568
00:32:54,597 --> 00:32:56,182
He'd definitely be into it.

569
00:32:56,265 --> 00:32:57,266
[Chuck] Perfect!

570
00:32:57,517 --> 00:33:00,395
So, we were thinking Friday,
for lunch maybe,

571
00:33:00,478 --> 00:33:03,147
at the Cinque Terre Country Club
in the Palisades, say, around noon?

572
00:33:03,481 --> 00:33:04,440
Okay.

573
00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:06,234
So...

574
00:33:06,609 --> 00:33:07,735
it's a plan?

575
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:09,946
Yes. Absolutely.

576
00:33:10,405 --> 00:33:11,406
No way.

577
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:12,699
[Jesse] You're a coward.

578
00:33:13,282 --> 00:33:16,077
Wally, great writers
lead interesting lives.

579
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,328
Do you agree?

580
00:33:17,412 --> 00:33:18,663
With some exceptions.

581
00:33:18,746 --> 00:33:20,581
Emily Dickinson never left her room.

582
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:21,791
Is that true, Kevin?

583
00:33:21,874 --> 00:33:24,293
As far as we know, Jesse.
I'm gonna look it up later.

584
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:26,587
But for the most part,

585
00:33:27,547 --> 00:33:29,215
do you lead an interesting life?

586
00:33:30,174 --> 00:33:32,802
You gotta start living life, Wally.

587
00:33:33,177 --> 00:33:34,721
I don't wanna be harsh, but...

588
00:33:34,804 --> 00:33:36,764
you got nothing to write about.

589
00:33:37,223 --> 00:33:39,183
[Kevin] That's why you've been working
on the same novel

590
00:33:39,267 --> 00:33:40,560
for three-and-a-half years.

591
00:33:40,643 --> 00:33:42,687
But I don't wanna write about Laker Girls.

592
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:44,230
You're missing the point.

593
00:33:44,313 --> 00:33:45,982
You're gaining street cred.

594
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:48,609
You go to Vegas,
you hook up in a hotel room,

595
00:33:48,693 --> 00:33:51,571
and then you date her friend
who happens to be a Laker Girl.

596
00:33:51,654 --> 00:33:52,822
You go to Bangladesh,

597
00:33:52,905 --> 00:33:53,948
you get a Euro pass,

598
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,491
you take the train all over Europe.

599
00:33:55,575 --> 00:33:57,744
I don't know. You enrich yourself.

600
00:33:58,911 --> 00:34:00,204
You get a buzz about you.

601
00:34:00,413 --> 00:34:03,249
[Kevin] People start wanting to hear
what you have to say.

602
00:34:04,333 --> 00:34:05,793
Robby LeBeau would go.

603
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:07,128
[Kevin] Exactly!

604
00:34:07,420 --> 00:34:09,005
When Robby came to town,

605
00:34:09,297 --> 00:34:10,840
he got into plenty of trouble.

606
00:34:10,923 --> 00:34:12,884
You know that's bullshit, Kevin.

607
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:14,260
It's irrelevant.

608
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:15,595
I don't understand.

609
00:34:16,804 --> 00:34:18,973
Back in the day,
Robby had this drug jones.

610
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,602
He had to pull tricks in MacArthur Park
in order to keep the pills coming.

611
00:34:22,685 --> 00:34:23,770
Robby's a liar.

612
00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:25,354
Tell that to Alan.

613
00:34:25,438 --> 00:34:26,606
Who's Alan?

614
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:29,275
The 70-year-old man
who fell in love with him.

615
00:34:29,567 --> 00:34:30,568
[Jesse] Wow.

616
00:34:31,569 --> 00:34:33,529
And you can't even go out
with a Laker Girl?

617
00:34:34,697 --> 00:34:36,240
What a pansy.

618
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:42,455
[gloomy music]

619
00:34:43,956 --> 00:34:45,625
Fuck me.

620
00:34:45,833 --> 00:34:48,836
[car horns honking]

621
00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:57,386
[calm music]

622
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:09,565
[tires screeching]

623
00:35:11,984 --> 00:35:13,611
Welcome to Cinque Terre, sir.

624
00:35:15,029 --> 00:35:15,905
Oh.

625
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:29,836
[woman
we decided this museum

626
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:31,838
is going to be a huge project.

627
00:35:32,421 --> 00:35:33,589
Can I help you, sir?

628
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:34,841
[Wally] Yes, um...

629
00:35:35,633 --> 00:35:40,471
I'm here for lunch with Chuck,
Jeanine, and Tammy.

630
00:35:41,681 --> 00:35:44,267
Oh, yes. They asked
if you would meet them by the first tee.

631
00:35:46,394 --> 00:35:47,728
Is something wrong, sir?

632
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:49,063
[sighs]

633
00:35:54,026 --> 00:35:55,444
Wally!
[Jeanine gasps]

634
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:56,445
Hi!

635
00:35:57,321 --> 00:35:58,614
-Come down!
-Yeah, yeah.

636
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:00,449
-Come on.
-Stairs over there. Come here.

637
00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:09,250
[Chuck] Wally.
[Jeanine giggles]

638
00:36:09,333 --> 00:36:10,877
-[Jeanine] Hi, Wally.
-[Wally] Hello.

639
00:36:11,127 --> 00:36:15,006
Wally, I'd like you to meet Tammy.

640
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:17,008
Hi, Tammy.

641
00:36:19,135 --> 00:36:21,137
Hi, Wally.

642
00:36:22,013 --> 00:36:23,723
Guys, I thought we were having lunch.

643
00:36:23,806 --> 00:36:26,225
We are, but we thought it might be fun
to play around and golf first,

644
00:36:26,309 --> 00:36:27,894
work up an appetite. You in?

645
00:36:27,977 --> 00:36:28,895
[stutters]
But, uh...

646
00:36:28,978 --> 00:36:31,105
I know you didn't bring
any of your equipment, but it's okay.

647
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:33,232
We'll go over to the pro shop,
get you everything you need.

648
00:36:33,316 --> 00:36:35,943
-We have Titleist, Callaway...
-Chuck. I don't play golf.

649
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:40,239
Oh. Oh, Wally, I'm so sorry.

650
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:43,159
[Chuck] That's just so rude of us
to just assume, isn't it? We...

651
00:36:43,242 --> 00:36:45,036
Well, we'll go get lunch, okay?
We'll just eat.

652
00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:47,371
[Jeanine] Absolutely!
Not a problem at all.

653
00:36:47,455 --> 00:36:49,332
-It was stupid of us. Yeah.
-Yeah.

654
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:50,791
And that's okay. Right, Tammy?

655
00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:53,711
Of course.

656
00:36:53,794 --> 00:36:55,671
Come on, come on. Let's grab our stuff.

657
00:37:00,635 --> 00:37:01,761
[sighs]

658
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:04,096
Guys?

659
00:37:06,474 --> 00:37:09,352
If it's okay, I'd like to give it a try.

660
00:37:09,435 --> 00:37:11,354
[lively music]

661
00:37:11,437 --> 00:37:13,189
Attaboy, Wally!
[giggles]

662
00:37:13,272 --> 00:37:14,982
Attaboy! That's the spirit.

663
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,151
[Chuck] Go play golf.

664
00:37:22,198 --> 00:37:23,407
[Chuck] Now, Wally, remember,

665
00:37:23,491 --> 00:37:25,117
in the game of golf,
we have two objectives.

666
00:37:25,201 --> 00:37:27,119
We wanna hit the ball a certain distance,

667
00:37:27,203 --> 00:37:29,205
and we wanna hit the ball
a certain direction.

668
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:32,083
Now, I want you to have
a clear picture in your mind

669
00:37:32,166 --> 00:37:34,168
of exactly where you want the ball
to end up.

670
00:37:34,794 --> 00:37:35,628
In the hole?

671
00:37:35,711 --> 00:37:37,088
[laughs]

672
00:37:37,171 --> 00:37:38,214
Yeah, a hole in one.

673
00:37:38,297 --> 00:37:40,007
That's it, Wally. You aim for the stars.

674
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:41,467
-[Chuck] Now...
-He is ambitious, Chuck.

675
00:37:41,550 --> 00:37:42,468
[Chuck] Yeah, he sure is.

676
00:37:42,551 --> 00:37:44,470
Now, when I take my hands away,

677
00:37:44,553 --> 00:37:46,764
I want you to bring the driver back
like we discussed,

678
00:37:46,847 --> 00:37:48,933
and then follow through the ball, okay?

679
00:37:49,517 --> 00:37:50,476
You got this.

680
00:37:52,144 --> 00:37:53,312
-He's gonna great.
-Yeah.

681
00:37:59,819 --> 00:38:00,778
[thwacks]

682
00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:03,656
[thuds]

683
00:38:03,739 --> 00:38:04,573
[chirping]

684
00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,617
[leaves rustling]

685
00:38:09,787 --> 00:38:10,621
[light thud]

686
00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:11,580
[Chuck] Oh.

687
00:38:12,206 --> 00:38:13,249
[owl squeals]

688
00:38:13,874 --> 00:38:14,792
God.

689
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:25,469
[Jeanine] Oh, my god.

690
00:38:25,636 --> 00:38:26,846
It's an owl.

691
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,307
[Wally] An owl?
[owl whines]

692
00:38:29,557 --> 00:38:30,766
I hit an owl?

693
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:32,268
Don't worry, Wally. It's okay.

694
00:38:32,351 --> 00:38:33,769
[Chuck] Probably just got his bell rang.

695
00:38:33,853 --> 00:38:35,479
-Look at his eyes.
-[Jeanine] Oh...

696
00:38:35,563 --> 00:38:37,023
[Wally] What have I done?

697
00:38:37,106 --> 00:38:39,233
Wally, trust me. He's fine.

698
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:40,568
[owl hooting]

699
00:38:40,901 --> 00:38:42,028
Hey, pal.

700
00:38:43,112 --> 00:38:44,572
[Chuck] Are you okay, little fella?

701
00:38:44,655 --> 00:38:45,698
[hooting]

702
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:46,991
Hey.

703
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:48,409
Sorry about that, mate.

704
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:49,535
[owl calls]

705
00:38:52,288 --> 00:38:53,539
Attaboy.

706
00:38:54,081 --> 00:38:55,166
[Jeanine giggles]

707
00:38:56,042 --> 00:38:57,668
[chuckling]

708
00:38:57,752 --> 00:38:58,753
It's all right.

709
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:01,630
[Chuck] You see, that's what I love
about this game, Wally.

710
00:39:01,714 --> 00:39:03,257
You never know
what's gonna happen next, eh?

711
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,301
It's probably not even the first time
he's been hit.

712
00:39:05,384 --> 00:39:07,345
[Wally]
Well, it's a good sign he flew away.

713
00:39:07,428 --> 00:39:08,804
[Chuck] See? There you go.

714
00:39:08,888 --> 00:39:11,849
You also got to take into account
that he's probably not used to daytime.

715
00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:15,227
Your ball is probably over there,
somewhere. Don't worry, we'll find it.

716
00:39:16,645 --> 00:39:18,356
[Chuck] Jeanine tells me you're a writer.

717
00:39:20,399 --> 00:39:21,776
It's impressive, Wally.

718
00:39:21,859 --> 00:39:23,944
I've never been friends
with an author before.

719
00:39:24,612 --> 00:39:26,822
Oh, there was this Asian kid
when I was in university

720
00:39:26,906 --> 00:39:28,074
that I wanted to be friends with.

721
00:39:28,157 --> 00:39:31,660
But, you know, I was in the golf team
and he was short and intellectual.

722
00:39:31,744 --> 00:39:35,289
So... He just seemed
intimidated by me, so I left him alone.

723
00:39:35,373 --> 00:39:36,415
You know what I mean?

724
00:39:37,083 --> 00:39:38,542
I'm gonna help you out here.

725
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:44,382
[Chuck] Watch out for snakes, Wally.

726
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:47,885
[uplifting music]

727
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,805
[leaves rustling]

728
00:39:55,351 --> 00:39:57,978
[Wally panting]

729
00:39:59,688 --> 00:40:01,190
This will impress Tammy.

730
00:40:06,904 --> 00:40:07,863
[thumps]

731
00:40:13,702 --> 00:40:14,829
[Tammy] Wow!

732
00:40:16,539 --> 00:40:17,456
[Chuck] Hm?

733
00:40:17,540 --> 00:40:19,542
[Jeanine] Great shot, Wally!

734
00:40:21,210 --> 00:40:24,213
[uplifting music]

735
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:32,138
So?

736
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:34,140
What do you think of him?

737
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:36,392
He's...

738
00:40:37,393 --> 00:40:38,602
interesting.

739
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:40,396
Not what you're used to.

740
00:40:41,063 --> 00:40:42,565
No.
[both giggling]

741
00:40:42,648 --> 00:40:45,109
-No.
-But you're liking him, right?

742
00:40:45,693 --> 00:40:47,862
-Yeah, I think so.
-Good! Yes.

743
00:40:47,945 --> 00:40:49,238
-Yes, that's good. Okay.
-I think so.

744
00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:51,115
-This is a good thing. Right.
-Yes, yes.

745
00:40:55,077 --> 00:40:55,995
[whooshes]

746
00:40:59,123 --> 00:41:01,041
[breathes deeply]

747
00:41:01,876 --> 00:41:02,918
[groans]

748
00:41:03,002 --> 00:41:05,504
It's okay, Wally.
You're getting the hang of it.

749
00:41:05,588 --> 00:41:06,964
[Chuck] Relax those wrists, pal.

750
00:41:07,047 --> 00:41:08,132
Grip's too tight.

751
00:41:08,507 --> 00:41:09,884
You've got this. Come on.

752
00:41:11,844 --> 00:41:13,637
[heavy breathing]

753
00:41:14,763 --> 00:41:16,056
[Wally groans]

754
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,101
Wally, listen to me.

755
00:41:19,727 --> 00:41:21,395
[Jeanine] You've got to stop thinking.

756
00:41:22,354 --> 00:41:26,817
Just open the top of your head,
and let all thoughts float out.

757
00:41:26,901 --> 00:41:28,903
[dramatic music]

758
00:41:29,778 --> 00:41:31,238
It's the secret of golf.

759
00:41:36,952 --> 00:41:40,372
[uplifting music]

760
00:41:47,922 --> 00:41:49,089
[thwacks]

761
00:41:50,591 --> 00:41:51,634
[golf ball whooshing]

762
00:42:01,060 --> 00:42:02,061
[Jeanine gasps]

763
00:42:06,815 --> 00:42:08,859
Good god, babe. You've created a monster.

764
00:42:08,943 --> 00:42:10,319
[giggles]

765
00:42:10,861 --> 00:42:11,779
[Chuck] Huh?

766
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:13,864
[applause]

767
00:42:15,157 --> 00:42:16,325
[Jeanine] Whoo-hoo!

768
00:42:16,408 --> 00:42:19,411
[retro music]

769
00:42:22,998 --> 00:42:26,669
So, how many more would Tiger need
to catch up with Nicklaus?

770
00:42:27,253 --> 00:42:30,714
Well, um, four to tie,
but five to pass him.

771
00:42:30,798 --> 00:42:32,132
It's such a shame, isn't it?

772
00:42:32,216 --> 00:42:34,051
'Cause I just don't think
he's got it in him anymore.

773
00:42:34,134 --> 00:42:35,427
Oh, I think he does.

774
00:42:35,511 --> 00:42:37,096
He just needs to clear his mind.

775
00:42:37,179 --> 00:42:38,889
When you do that, anything is possible.

776
00:42:38,973 --> 00:42:40,558
[snickers]
[Chuck] Okay.

777
00:42:40,641 --> 00:42:41,642
Oh.

778
00:42:42,351 --> 00:42:43,769
-Fellas, come over here.
-Nice.

779
00:42:43,852 --> 00:42:45,312
-Hey.
-There's someone I want you to meet.

780
00:42:45,396 --> 00:42:46,730
-Jeanine, Tammy.
-[Jeanine and Tammy] Hi.

781
00:42:46,814 --> 00:42:48,190
I wanna introduce you to somebody.

782
00:42:48,274 --> 00:42:49,984
This is Wally Spivak.
He's a good friend of ours.

783
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:53,445
[Chuck] Wally, this is Bill Hundleson.
He's an esteemed member of our club.

784
00:42:53,529 --> 00:42:55,447
And this is Kyle Newcombe,
a fellow pro here.

785
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:58,784
And he and I shared a cup of coffee
on the tour a few years back.

786
00:42:59,159 --> 00:43:00,244
Bill Hundleson.

787
00:43:01,078 --> 00:43:02,204
Kyle Newcombe.

788
00:43:02,538 --> 00:43:04,415
Wally Spivak. Nice to meet you, fellas.

789
00:43:04,498 --> 00:43:06,250
Nice to meet you, Wally. Welcome.

790
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:08,836
-So you know Chuck, huh?
-Mm-hm.

791
00:43:08,919 --> 00:43:10,045
Chuck's a good guy...

792
00:43:10,838 --> 00:43:12,881
sometimes.
[all laugh]

793
00:43:13,340 --> 00:43:14,466
Watch out for him, Wally.

794
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:15,718
[Chuck] Oh...
[laughter]

795
00:43:15,801 --> 00:43:17,344
-Huh.
-Oh.

796
00:43:17,428 --> 00:43:19,054
[all laughing]

797
00:43:19,138 --> 00:43:20,306
Okay. Wally here, he's a writer.

798
00:43:20,389 --> 00:43:22,516
He just played
his first round of golf ever.

799
00:43:23,976 --> 00:43:26,312
I'd imagine, uh, it's a pretty tough game
for a writer.

800
00:43:26,395 --> 00:43:29,481
No. He hit a 250-yard tee shot
off the ninth.

801
00:43:30,858 --> 00:43:32,985
I also hit an owl.

802
00:43:37,823 --> 00:43:39,617
Next time, try for a birdie.

803
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:43,037
[loud laughter]

804
00:43:46,332 --> 00:43:48,417
[laughing]

805
00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:50,961
-That's golf humor, right?
-Yeah.

806
00:43:51,045 --> 00:43:52,004
Yes.

807
00:43:53,672 --> 00:43:54,673
[clinks]

808
00:43:55,591 --> 00:43:56,467
Jeez.

809
00:43:57,593 --> 00:43:58,719
What's in these things?

810
00:43:58,802 --> 00:44:02,806
The Double Eagle has quite a lot
of vodka in it, Wally.

811
00:44:03,891 --> 00:44:05,392
I don't think I can drive.

812
00:44:06,143 --> 00:44:07,561
I'll drive you home.

813
00:44:11,065 --> 00:44:15,527
[host]
Ladies and gentlemen, your Laker Girls.

814
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:19,073
[lively music playing]

815
00:44:30,084 --> 00:44:31,293
I'm so jealous.

816
00:44:31,377 --> 00:44:32,711
There's nothing to be jealous about.

817
00:44:32,795 --> 00:44:34,088
[Wally] I'm not dating her.

818
00:44:34,171 --> 00:44:35,964
[Kevin] Give it some time, Wally.

819
00:44:36,048 --> 00:44:37,633
[Jesse]
Yeah, maybe you'll grow to like her.

820
00:44:39,259 --> 00:44:41,178
-Hey, guys.
-Hi.

821
00:44:42,346 --> 00:44:43,931
-[Kevin] Hey, Chuck!
-[Chuck] Hey, pal.

822
00:44:44,014 --> 00:44:45,265
-Hi, Jeanine.
-Hi.

823
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:46,433
This is Jesse, you guys.

824
00:44:46,517 --> 00:44:47,643
-Great to finally meet you.
-Hey.

825
00:44:47,726 --> 00:44:49,520
-[Jeanine] Yeah, nice to meet you.
-It's a pleasure.

826
00:44:49,603 --> 00:44:52,856
So, I hear congratulations are in order.
I heard you and Tammy are an item.

827
00:44:52,940 --> 00:44:54,691
I'm so happy for you, Wally.

828
00:44:54,775 --> 00:44:56,402
-She is a great girl.
-Great girl.

829
00:44:56,485 --> 00:44:58,821
Yeah. We love her.

830
00:44:59,571 --> 00:45:02,449
[host] Your Laker Girls.

831
00:45:02,908 --> 00:45:04,910
[crowd cheering]

832
00:45:05,744 --> 00:45:06,745
[clapping]

833
00:45:08,330 --> 00:45:11,125
[commentator chattering]

834
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:12,709
[shoes squeaking]

835
00:45:17,464 --> 00:45:18,632
[Kevin] Yeah!

836
00:45:18,715 --> 00:45:20,801
-In his face!
-That's what I'm talking about!

837
00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:21,802
Whoo!

838
00:45:22,177 --> 00:45:24,179
[crowd cheering]

839
00:45:29,726 --> 00:45:31,645
Wally, did you ever read
The Turn of the Screw?

840
00:45:33,397 --> 00:45:35,983
Great book, wasn't it?
I mean, packed one hell of a punch.

841
00:45:42,072 --> 00:45:43,740
You know, back when I was
in secondary school,

842
00:45:43,824 --> 00:45:45,492
they forced me to read all the classics.

843
00:45:45,576 --> 00:45:47,077
You know, The Turn of the Screw,

844
00:45:48,203 --> 00:45:49,663
Kafka's The Castle,

845
00:45:50,164 --> 00:45:51,623
The Sound and the Fury,

846
00:45:52,082 --> 00:45:53,959
A Hundred Years of Solitude,
remember that?

847
00:45:54,543 --> 00:45:58,005
Well, Gabriel García Márquez.

848
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:00,382
Wally.

849
00:46:01,383 --> 00:46:03,510
I lost myself in those books.

850
00:46:06,472 --> 00:46:08,932
For some reason,
I never read another novel again.

851
00:46:09,016 --> 00:46:13,353
I just couldn't seem to do it on my own,
unless it was assigned.

852
00:46:14,563 --> 00:46:16,023
It's been so frustrating.

853
00:46:19,318 --> 00:46:22,779
So, yeah, I was wondering
where I might find one of your novels.

854
00:46:25,532 --> 00:46:27,493
Jeanine and I were at Barnes and Noble
the other day,

855
00:46:27,576 --> 00:46:29,995
and we were looking for you,
under "S," but...

856
00:46:30,287 --> 00:46:31,246
nothing.

857
00:46:32,623 --> 00:46:33,624
Chuck.

858
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,169
Chuck, I've never been published.

859
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:41,673
Oh, I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't...

860
00:46:42,174 --> 00:46:43,175
I...

861
00:46:43,509 --> 00:46:46,512
[somber music]

862
00:46:49,473 --> 00:46:51,016
I'd still like to read one, though.

863
00:46:53,727 --> 00:46:55,312
What are you guys talking about?

864
00:46:55,395 --> 00:46:58,106
Oh, I was just asking Wally
if I could read one of his novels.

865
00:46:58,190 --> 00:47:00,484
Oh, Wally. That would be awesome.

866
00:47:00,567 --> 00:47:02,152
Yeah, Chuck and I
were in Barnes and Noble...

867
00:47:02,236 --> 00:47:03,654
Uh, yeah. Um...

868
00:47:03,737 --> 00:47:06,532
-Guys, who wants another beer?
-Yes, definitely.

869
00:47:06,615 --> 00:47:08,200
-Yeah? All right.
-Another one? Thanks, Chuck.

870
00:47:08,283 --> 00:47:09,284
[Jesse] Thanks, Chuck.

871
00:47:12,037 --> 00:47:13,288
[Chuck] That was fun.

872
00:47:13,872 --> 00:47:15,123
Tell me if he'll go.

873
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:17,292
[Jeanine giggles]

874
00:47:17,626 --> 00:47:19,503
[Chuck] Hey, Wally. Our car's here.

875
00:47:20,587 --> 00:47:22,214
Buddy, buddy...

876
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:26,176
I will check my e-mail in the morning.
I can't wait to read the book.

877
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:27,594
I can't wait. It's gonna be great.

878
00:47:27,678 --> 00:47:28,720
-See you, guys.
-[Kevin] Okay.

879
00:47:28,804 --> 00:47:31,098
-It's really nice to see you again, Wally.
-[Jesse] Thanks, Chuck.

880
00:47:33,100 --> 00:47:34,142
[Jeanine] Tammy.

881
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:38,230
What do you think about the four of us
getting away one of these weekends?

882
00:47:38,605 --> 00:47:40,607
[gasps]
We could go wine tasting in Napa,

883
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:43,110
or we could go
to The Del Coronado in San Diego.

884
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:44,945
-We'd love to!
-[Jeanine] Fantastic!

885
00:47:45,028 --> 00:47:46,530
Okay. Bye, you guys.

886
00:47:46,613 --> 00:47:48,031
-[Jesse] Bye.
-[Jeanine] Bye!

887
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,659
Uh, Tammy, I will call you
to cement the deets.

888
00:47:50,742 --> 00:47:52,035
-Sounds great.
-[Jeanine] Okay.

889
00:47:52,578 --> 00:47:53,745
[happy gasp]

890
00:47:54,705 --> 00:47:58,875
So, guys, what are your plans tonight?

891
00:48:00,210 --> 00:48:01,795
We're actually really tired.

892
00:48:03,463 --> 00:48:05,173
-Starkesha, Chani!
-[Chani] Hey.

893
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:07,384
Hey, Tammy. What do you guys got up?

894
00:48:07,759 --> 00:48:10,512
Well, I was hoping to hang
with these guys, but they are tired.

895
00:48:10,596 --> 00:48:12,514
-Uh, we're good.
-We can hang.

896
00:48:12,598 --> 00:48:14,099
[Chani] What do you guys have in mind?

897
00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:16,018
Um...

898
00:48:18,353 --> 00:48:20,147
How about chilling at our place?

899
00:48:20,856 --> 00:48:21,982
-Sure.
-Sure.

900
00:48:22,983 --> 00:48:24,401
Yes, yes.

901
00:48:24,484 --> 00:48:27,613
-Could Adriana come?
-Of course! The more the merrier.

902
00:48:28,614 --> 00:48:30,073
This is so uncool.

903
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:32,242
So uncool.

904
00:48:32,326 --> 00:48:34,202
[Kevin] For god's sakes, Wally.

905
00:48:34,286 --> 00:48:38,915
A pretty, sweet,
I'd venture to say, hot girl likes you.

906
00:48:39,541 --> 00:48:42,377
We're not gonna let you walk away
without giving it a shot.

907
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:44,046
And think about it,

908
00:48:44,129 --> 00:48:47,215
your love life has been
one disaster after another.

909
00:48:47,299 --> 00:48:49,134
A series of short-term relationships

910
00:48:49,217 --> 00:48:50,552
-[Jesse] Yeah.
-with intellectual women

911
00:48:50,636 --> 00:48:52,888
-that always end in arguments, mistrust,
-[Jesse] Preach, Kevin.

912
00:48:52,971 --> 00:48:55,474
charges of hypocrisy, disappointment,

913
00:48:55,557 --> 00:48:58,560
-and Lord knows what else.
-[Jesse] Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

914
00:48:58,644 --> 00:48:59,978
We're doing you a favor.

915
00:49:00,354 --> 00:49:02,898
[Kevin] You're gonna have
so much material for your book.

916
00:49:02,981 --> 00:49:06,902
[Jesse] Yeah, it will write itself.
Your book, Wally. Think of your book.

917
00:49:06,985 --> 00:49:09,029
Let me out. Let me out right now.

918
00:49:09,112 --> 00:49:10,989
You're being selfish, Wally.

919
00:49:11,657 --> 00:49:13,950
Jesse and I finally have a chance
to get laid, too.

920
00:49:14,034 --> 00:49:16,495
[Jesse] And this can't always be
about you, Wally.

921
00:49:17,454 --> 00:49:22,209
Let me out!
[tires screeching]

922
00:49:38,684 --> 00:49:39,685
[sighs]

923
00:49:39,768 --> 00:49:41,103
What do we tell Tammy?

924
00:49:41,770 --> 00:49:43,605
There was an emergency at the library?

925
00:49:44,064 --> 00:49:46,274
He's such a pain in the ass.

926
00:49:48,485 --> 00:49:49,778
[phone rings]

927
00:49:49,861 --> 00:49:51,697
Oh, shit. It's Mark Stein.

928
00:49:52,114 --> 00:49:53,448
No, Jesse.

929
00:49:53,532 --> 00:49:55,283
-Hey, Mark.
-[Mark] Hey, Jesse.

930
00:49:55,992 --> 00:49:57,077
-What are you up to?
-Hang up.

931
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,161
[Mark] Nothing.

932
00:49:58,245 --> 00:49:59,913
-Nice.
-[Mark] You?

933
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:04,126
We're just on our way to go hang out
with some Laker Girls right now.

934
00:50:04,626 --> 00:50:07,045
[clock ticking]

935
00:50:12,217 --> 00:50:13,427
[Mark sighs]

936
00:50:21,727 --> 00:50:24,146
[clock ticking]

937
00:50:31,903 --> 00:50:34,906
[retro romantic music playing]

938
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:44,291
Starkesha, Chani, Adriana,

939
00:50:45,083 --> 00:50:46,793
any of you care to dance?

940
00:50:49,963 --> 00:50:50,922
-It's okay.
-We're okay.

941
00:50:51,006 --> 00:50:51,923
[Chani] Yeah.

942
00:50:53,592 --> 00:50:56,011
[retro romantic music continues]

943
00:50:57,387 --> 00:50:58,388
Tammy?

944
00:51:00,265 --> 00:51:02,100
Maybe we should go to the library now.

945
00:51:02,642 --> 00:51:04,186
Relax, Tammy.

946
00:51:04,269 --> 00:51:06,897
Wally's fine. Trust me.

947
00:51:08,231 --> 00:51:10,233
[somber music]

948
00:51:12,694 --> 00:51:15,864
[James Peavy]
This is James Peavy for The Paris Review.

949
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,325
A Street Urchin Finds a Voice.

950
00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:23,497
In his excruciatingly beautiful memoir,
MacArthur Parked,

951
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:28,502
Robert "Robby" LeBeau has burst
onto the American literary landscape

952
00:51:28,585 --> 00:51:32,297
with his personal tale
of a once-promising young man

953
00:51:32,380 --> 00:51:35,675
living and sleeping
in a drug-addicted haze

954
00:51:35,759 --> 00:51:38,720
on the streets of the Eastside
of Los Angeles.

955
00:51:39,763 --> 00:51:43,475
I sat with Mr. LeBeau in the living room
of his spacious loft

956
00:51:43,558 --> 00:51:46,061
in the Arts District of Downtown...

957
00:51:49,648 --> 00:51:50,732
[bartender] Another?

958
00:51:59,074 --> 00:51:59,950
[thuds]

959
00:52:03,036 --> 00:52:04,412
You got a problem?

960
00:52:08,708 --> 00:52:10,418
Look into my eyes.

961
00:52:16,299 --> 00:52:17,843
I've lived a little.

962
00:52:20,387 --> 00:52:21,596
[woman clears throat]

963
00:52:36,319 --> 00:52:38,113
[man

964
00:52:43,034 --> 00:52:44,578
That's my girlfriend.

965
00:52:53,128 --> 00:52:54,796
Keep dreaming, son.

966
00:52:56,464 --> 00:52:59,885
[somber music]

967
00:53:15,984 --> 00:53:18,987
[somber music continues]

968
00:53:25,368 --> 00:53:26,536
My god.

969
00:53:27,329 --> 00:53:28,788
MacArthur Park.

970
00:53:32,751 --> 00:53:34,169
Do you have the time?

971
00:53:42,344 --> 00:53:43,511
Thank you.

972
00:53:44,095 --> 00:53:45,388
You're welcome.

973
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,895
Nice night, yeah?

974
00:53:56,775 --> 00:53:58,276
You come here often?

975
00:54:01,988 --> 00:54:03,865
You're new here, aren't you?

976
00:54:07,327 --> 00:54:09,037
[gasps]

977
00:54:10,830 --> 00:54:12,958
Are you in Robby's book?

978
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,795
I knew a young man named Robert.

979
00:54:16,878 --> 00:54:18,296
[gasps]

980
00:54:19,381 --> 00:54:20,840
I don't feel well.

981
00:54:20,924 --> 00:54:22,175
Hey, come.

982
00:54:24,010 --> 00:54:25,512
[Alan] You're gonna be fine.

983
00:54:26,805 --> 00:54:28,723
Let's sit you down, all right?

984
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:33,478
That's it.

985
00:54:33,937 --> 00:54:36,940
[somber music]

986
00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:42,696
My name is Alan.

987
00:54:44,656 --> 00:54:45,991
What's yours?

988
00:54:48,159 --> 00:54:50,537
[panting]

989
00:54:51,746 --> 00:54:53,832
-Morning, sleepyhead.
-What the fuck!

990
00:54:54,541 --> 00:54:56,001
Tammy? What...

991
00:54:56,418 --> 00:54:57,585
What are you doing here?

992
00:54:57,669 --> 00:55:00,714
You were so drunk last night,
you don't remember, do you?

993
00:55:01,339 --> 00:55:03,883
Well, you took a little detour
on the way home.

994
00:55:03,967 --> 00:55:06,970
Apparently, there was some kind
of flooding at the library.

995
00:55:07,053 --> 00:55:09,347
When you got home,
you were completely wasted.

996
00:55:09,889 --> 00:55:14,019
Wally, we had the most amazing sex.
You really took charge.

997
00:55:14,102 --> 00:55:15,437
-I did?
-Uh-huh.

998
00:55:15,937 --> 00:55:17,439
-Wow.
-[Tammy] Mm.

999
00:55:17,522 --> 00:55:19,274
I don't even get to remember.

1000
00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:21,151
Tammy,

1001
00:55:21,484 --> 00:55:24,112
-I had the weirdest dream last night.
-Huh?

1002
00:55:24,195 --> 00:55:26,197
[Rex barking]

1003
00:55:28,074 --> 00:55:29,284
Rex!

1004
00:55:29,367 --> 00:55:30,869
[Wally] Shut up!

1005
00:55:30,952 --> 00:55:34,789
Rex, please! This one time, shut up.

1006
00:55:34,873 --> 00:55:36,499
I have a hangover.

1007
00:55:37,333 --> 00:55:39,169
Wally, that's a little harsh.

1008
00:55:39,794 --> 00:55:41,546
I think you need to shower up,

1009
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,091
down a cup of coffee,
turn that frown upside down,

1010
00:55:45,175 --> 00:55:46,676
Chuck and Jeanine are on their way.

1011
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:47,802
What?

1012
00:55:47,886 --> 00:55:49,345
They are taking us to Catalina.

1013
00:55:49,429 --> 00:55:51,222
-Catalina?
-Uh-huh.

1014
00:55:51,306 --> 00:55:54,768
Oh, no, no, no. Call them and cancel.

1015
00:55:54,851 --> 00:55:56,728
It's too late.
They're already on their way.

1016
00:55:56,811 --> 00:55:58,438
Oh, Wally! Don't forget.

1017
00:55:58,521 --> 00:55:59,731
You have to write a thank you note

1018
00:55:59,814 --> 00:56:01,816
to that nice old man
who drove you home last night.

1019
00:56:01,900 --> 00:56:04,402
-What?
-It's the polite thing to do.

1020
00:56:04,486 --> 00:56:06,321
He said he really enjoyed your company.

1021
00:56:07,405 --> 00:56:08,490
[smooches]

1022
00:56:08,573 --> 00:56:11,576

[humming]

1028
00:56:44,609 --> 00:56:46,319
Got it out of your system now, champ?

1029
00:56:47,112 --> 00:56:48,154
Hey?

1030
00:56:52,075 --> 00:56:53,993
You gonna have another crack
of that crab Benedict?

1031
00:56:54,077 --> 00:56:56,079
[water trickling]

1032
00:56:57,122 --> 00:56:58,039
No?

1033
00:56:58,414 --> 00:57:00,041
You mind if I have a stab at it?

1034
00:57:01,501 --> 00:57:02,544
It's all yours.

1035
00:57:02,627 --> 00:57:04,963
[snarling]
[Chuck] Thank you.

1036
00:57:05,046 --> 00:57:08,216
It was a close second for me
behind the huevos rancheros.

1037
00:57:09,968 --> 00:57:12,137
So, uh, enjoying the island?

1038
00:57:14,180 --> 00:57:17,308
[Chuck] Oh, you will now, eh, Wally.
We just gotta get some coffee into you.

1039
00:57:17,392 --> 00:57:19,894
[indistinct crowd chatter nearby]

1040
00:57:30,071 --> 00:57:31,906
I can't believe we're going home.

1041
00:57:32,407 --> 00:57:34,242
We didn't see the botanical gardens,

1042
00:57:34,325 --> 00:57:35,827
we didn't ride the zip line.

1043
00:57:35,910 --> 00:57:38,079
And what about that glass-bottom boat?

1044
00:57:38,163 --> 00:57:40,498
I was so looking forward
to seeing those fucking fish.

1045
00:57:40,582 --> 00:57:42,041
[Chuck] Tammy, Wally is not in the mood.

1046
00:57:42,125 --> 00:57:43,334
Nothing you could do about it.

1047
00:57:43,418 --> 00:57:45,753
I don't know, Jeanine.
He's becoming a real drag.

1048
00:57:45,837 --> 00:57:46,921
I'm having second thoughts.

1049
00:57:47,005 --> 00:57:49,632
Oh, don't blame him, Tammy.
This whole thing...

1050
00:57:50,633 --> 00:57:52,135
It's all my fault.

1051
00:57:52,218 --> 00:57:53,511
[birds cawing]

1052
00:57:53,595 --> 00:57:55,805
He's not even wearing his fucking shirt.

1053
00:57:56,306 --> 00:57:58,725
[captain] Final boarding call
for the Catalina Express

1054
00:57:58,808 --> 00:58:01,019
bound for the port of Long Beach.

1055
00:58:01,102 --> 00:58:03,188
This is the final boarding call.

1056
00:58:03,271 --> 00:58:04,314
Wally!

1057
00:58:04,898 --> 00:58:06,065
[Chuck] It's leaving!

1058
00:58:06,524 --> 00:58:09,694
[crowd chattering]

1059
00:58:10,403 --> 00:58:13,239

1060
00:58:35,386 --> 00:58:36,346
[Chuck] You're up.

1061
00:58:37,805 --> 00:58:39,224
I'm just gonna grab this.

1062
00:58:41,476 --> 00:58:42,477
Wally!

1063
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:46,439
Wally.

1064
00:58:47,232 --> 00:58:49,484
[Jeanine] I brought your shirt.
I thought it might cheer you up.

1065
00:58:49,901 --> 00:58:51,319
Come on, raise your arms.

1066
00:58:52,195 --> 00:58:53,321
Please.

1067
00:58:57,659 --> 00:58:58,868
There we go.

1068
00:59:00,286 --> 00:59:01,538
Look at this.

1069
00:59:02,497 --> 00:59:05,208

01:10:34,313 --> 01:10:35,272
didn't.

1248
01:10:37,149 --> 01:10:38,359
[Wally] Chuck.

1249
01:10:39,735 --> 01:10:42,738
You're the only person who has ever gotten
through to the end of the book.

1250
01:10:42,821 --> 01:10:45,658
Wally, it's so weird, right?
'Cause when I was reading it,

1251
01:10:45,741 --> 01:10:47,993
[Chuck] I just kept thinking
about that dude who cut his ear off.

1252
01:10:48,077 --> 01:10:50,371
You know, he did all those paintings,
and then no one bought them,

1253
01:10:50,454 --> 01:10:51,497
and he killed himself.

1254
01:10:51,914 --> 01:10:55,042
-Van Gogh?
-Van Gogh! Oh, Wally.

1255
01:10:56,502 --> 01:10:58,921
You remind me of Van Gogh.

1256
01:10:59,797 --> 01:11:01,674
You have to stick this out, man.

1257
01:11:02,174 --> 01:11:04,426
You are going to be published.

1258
01:11:05,803 --> 01:11:07,012
Thank you, Chuck.

1259
01:11:09,682 --> 01:11:10,766
Hey, Wally.

1260
01:11:11,183 --> 01:11:12,434
Sasha, we are a little busy.

1261
01:11:12,518 --> 01:11:13,811
No, it's okay.

1262
01:11:13,894 --> 01:11:16,146
Uh, join us. I'm Chuck.

1263
01:11:16,230 --> 01:11:17,982
Hi, Chuck. I'm Sasha.

1264
01:11:19,066 --> 01:11:21,443
So, uh, how do you two...

1265
01:11:21,527 --> 01:11:23,862
Oh, Wally dates my fiancée's best friend.

1266
01:11:25,823 --> 01:11:27,533
You... You do, Wally?

1267
01:11:27,992 --> 01:11:28,993
Oh.

1268
01:11:29,493 --> 01:11:30,744
Wally never told me that.

1269
01:11:33,580 --> 01:11:34,498
Are you a writer?

1270
01:11:34,581 --> 01:11:35,749
[Sasha] Well, of sorts.
[chuckles]

1271
01:11:35,833 --> 01:11:37,543
I'm studying cultural anthropology.

1272
01:11:37,626 --> 01:11:40,004
I'm waiting on my grant to come through
to study in China.

1273
01:11:40,087 --> 01:11:41,630
She's been waiting a long time.

1274
01:11:41,714 --> 01:11:44,842
Well, not nearly as long
as Wally's been working on his book,

1275
01:11:45,175 --> 01:11:47,386
which I see you've downloaded, huh?

1276
01:11:47,469 --> 01:11:48,595
"Sunset Junction."

1277
01:11:49,263 --> 01:11:50,514
It's quite a grind, isn't it?

1278
01:11:51,557 --> 01:11:52,599
[Mark] Hey, guys.

1279
01:11:53,017 --> 01:11:55,269
-You, uh, here for the reading?
-Yeah, I sure am.

1280
01:11:55,352 --> 01:11:56,478
What reading?

1281
01:11:57,104 --> 01:11:58,397
Robby LeBeau's.

1282
01:11:59,732 --> 01:12:00,733
Who?

1283
01:12:00,816 --> 01:12:02,151
[applause]

1284
01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:05,195
Hello, hello, everyone, and welcome.

1285
01:12:05,279 --> 01:12:09,116
This afternoon, I would like to introduce
a real forward thinker,

1286
01:12:09,199 --> 01:12:13,996
someone who has put the ethos
of Eastside Los Angeles on the map.

1287
01:12:14,288 --> 01:12:18,792
Ladies and gentlemen, please,
a warm welcome for Mr. Robby LeBeau.

1288
01:12:18,876 --> 01:12:19,960
[crowd cheering]

1289
01:12:20,044 --> 01:12:21,086
We love you, Robby.

1290
01:12:21,170 --> 01:12:22,796
Now, this guy is the real deal.

1291
01:12:27,301 --> 01:12:28,469
[exhales]

1292
01:12:28,886 --> 01:12:30,179
Thanks for coming.

1293
01:12:40,564 --> 01:12:43,192
"Ursula stood at the corner
of Sunset and Alvarado.

1294
01:12:44,860 --> 01:12:48,906
I knew her life was at the crossroads,
but I didn't think to take her literally.

1295
01:12:52,618 --> 01:12:54,703
Fountain and Virgil, Figueroa and Temple,

1296
01:12:54,787 --> 01:12:57,664
Santa Fe and Seventh,
Stadium Way and Chavez Ravine.

1297
01:12:59,166 --> 01:13:00,542
Dodgers win.

1298
01:13:01,293 --> 01:13:02,711
[Robby] The roar was loud,

1299
01:13:02,795 --> 01:13:08,133
the haze was thick with gutted cars,
driveshafts, and gasoline."

1300
01:13:15,933 --> 01:13:16,892
Robby.

1301
01:13:17,684 --> 01:13:21,021
This is Chuck Westrum.
He loved the reading.

1302
01:13:21,105 --> 01:13:22,731
-I appreciate it, man.
-[Chuck] Mr. LeBeau, hi.

1303
01:13:22,815 --> 01:13:25,275
I've never been to a reading before,
but I think I can safely say

1304
01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:26,985
that I will never be the same again.

1305
01:13:27,069 --> 01:13:28,112
Right.
[book rasping]

1306
01:13:29,279 --> 01:13:30,406
Thank you.

1307
01:13:30,489 --> 01:13:33,492
[somber music]

1308
01:13:34,201 --> 01:13:36,120
-[Jesse] Hi, Wally.
-Jesse.

1309
01:13:36,203 --> 01:13:38,664
-[Jesse] What's up?
-I need to borrow your car.

1310
01:13:39,081 --> 01:13:40,457
[Wally] I'm quitting writing.

1311
01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:42,376
I'm getting out of this town.

1312
01:13:43,335 --> 01:13:45,087
I need to tell someone goodbye.

1313
01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:49,383
[calm music]

1314
01:13:54,888 --> 01:13:57,724
[calm music continues]

1315
01:13:59,685 --> 01:14:02,521
[humming]

1316
01:14:14,825 --> 01:14:17,828
[humming continues]

1317
01:14:23,542 --> 01:14:26,170
[tranquil music]

1318
01:14:59,161 --> 01:15:00,996
[Rex barking]

1319
01:15:04,041 --> 01:15:05,667
[Kevin] I just finished Robby's book.

1320
01:15:07,044 --> 01:15:08,545
It really wasn't that good.

1321
01:15:09,296 --> 01:15:11,089
By the end, it pretty much sucked.

1322
01:15:12,007 --> 01:15:13,592
Jesse tells me you're leaving.

1323
01:15:15,302 --> 01:15:16,929
Please don't go, Wally!

1324
01:15:17,429 --> 01:15:19,431
[Rex barking]

1325
01:15:19,890 --> 01:15:21,350
[heavy sigh]

1326
01:15:22,309 --> 01:15:23,977
Do something, Rex!

1327
01:15:24,937 --> 01:15:27,564
[dreamy music]

1328
01:15:33,612 --> 01:15:34,696
[exhales]

1329
01:15:36,532 --> 01:15:39,159
[clacking]

1330
01:15:45,123 --> 01:15:46,542
[clacking continues]

1331
01:15:48,418 --> 01:15:52,923
[Jeanine] Just open the top of your head,
and let all thoughts float out.

1332
01:15:54,174 --> 01:15:55,300
[relieved exhale]

1333
01:15:56,301 --> 01:15:58,637
[keyboard clacking]

1334
01:16:00,430 --> 01:16:03,433
[uplifting music]

1335
01:16:16,697 --> 01:16:19,700
[clacking]

1336
01:16:36,425 --> 01:16:38,510
Finish getting dressed, Wally.
We are gonna be late.

1337
01:16:38,594 --> 01:16:39,761
Okay, okay.

1338
01:16:41,430 --> 01:16:42,347
Kevin.

1339
01:16:43,098 --> 01:16:44,308
I'm almost done.

1340
01:16:45,892 --> 01:16:47,894
[keyboard clacking]

1341
01:16:48,979 --> 01:16:50,981
[uplifting music]

1342
01:16:59,197 --> 01:17:00,365
[Wally] Hi, Rex.

1343
01:17:01,491 --> 01:17:04,328
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.

1344
01:17:05,287 --> 01:17:07,748
You wanted to be my friend,
but I wouldn't let you.

1345
01:17:08,248 --> 01:17:10,500
I'm gonna make it up to you. I promise.

1346
01:17:10,917 --> 01:17:11,918
[Rex whines]

1347
01:17:15,839 --> 01:17:18,842
[blissful music]

1348
01:17:37,778 --> 01:17:39,488
I'm hoping one of you is Wally Spivak.

1349
01:17:39,821 --> 01:17:41,865
-I'm Wally Spivak.
-[Hugh] Thank God.

1350
01:17:41,948 --> 01:17:43,325
I'm Hugh, Chuck's brother.

1351
01:17:43,408 --> 01:17:45,577
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
I'm afraid he's going a little mad.

1352
01:17:52,793 --> 01:17:54,127
Oh, finally.

1353
01:17:56,338 --> 01:17:58,840
Come in. Not you. You stay out there.

1354
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:05,222
Come on. Just...
[Chuck sighs]

1355
01:18:10,394 --> 01:18:11,603
What's going on, Chuck?

1356
01:18:12,104 --> 01:18:13,105
[clicks tongue]

1357
01:18:16,900 --> 01:18:18,819
[golf ball clanks]
I, uh...

1358
01:18:19,528 --> 01:18:21,154
I don't think
I can go through with it, Wally.

1359
01:18:21,238 --> 01:18:22,239
What?

1360
01:18:22,322 --> 01:18:24,074
[nervous chuckle]

1361
01:18:24,157 --> 01:18:26,827
I know, I know.
The timing, the timing is just...

1362
01:18:27,369 --> 01:18:28,912
terrible, but, uh...

1363
01:18:29,329 --> 01:18:31,790
[Chuck sighs]
I don't know what to do. I'm...

1364
01:18:32,958 --> 01:18:34,751
panicking, Wally, I'm panicking.

1365
01:18:34,835 --> 01:18:36,378
It's just wedding jitters.

1366
01:18:37,838 --> 01:18:39,256
It's more than that.

1367
01:18:43,343 --> 01:18:44,845
[sighs]
I don't...

1368
01:18:46,555 --> 01:18:50,058
I don't want my children growing up
the way Jeanine and I did.

1369
01:18:52,185 --> 01:18:54,813
I don't want my son walking around
with nothing in his head.

1370
01:18:54,896 --> 01:18:58,650
I don't want my daughter
playing beach volleyball.

1371
01:18:58,734 --> 01:19:00,193
You should understand that.

1372
01:19:00,694 --> 01:19:01,653
Huh?

1373
01:19:03,613 --> 01:19:06,491
I want worldly children, Wally.

1374
01:19:07,033 --> 01:19:08,368
[Chuck] And, uh...

1375
01:19:09,745 --> 01:19:11,872
I can't give that to them.

1376
01:19:11,955 --> 01:19:15,167
And bless her, but Jeanine can't either.

1377
01:19:16,126 --> 01:19:18,462
Chuck, you've lost your mind.

1378
01:19:19,379 --> 01:19:22,048
I want to have
intellectual conversations, Wally.

1379
01:19:22,841 --> 01:19:25,051
I wanna have intellectual conversations
at the dinner table.

1380
01:19:25,135 --> 01:19:26,928
I wanna have them in the car. I want...

1381
01:19:28,054 --> 01:19:29,389
I want them in bed.

1382
01:19:30,807 --> 01:19:34,603
-Chuck, you're a golf pro.
-Don't patronize me.

1383
01:19:37,230 --> 01:19:38,315
[Chuck sighs]

1384
01:19:40,942 --> 01:19:43,320
I'm in love with Sasha Perez.

1385
01:19:43,403 --> 01:19:44,404
[Wally gasps]

1386
01:19:50,118 --> 01:19:51,119
It's true.

1387
01:19:53,955 --> 01:19:55,373
Charles, please.

1388
01:19:56,958 --> 01:19:58,210
Go away.

1389
01:19:58,293 --> 01:20:00,378
No. I've come all this way
to be here for you!

1390
01:20:00,462 --> 01:20:01,671
Go away, Hugh!

1391
01:20:01,755 --> 01:20:03,673
And what do you expect me
to tell Mother and Father?

1392
01:20:03,757 --> 01:20:05,592
I don't care! Just go away!

1393
01:20:10,847 --> 01:20:12,516
I'm a horrible person, Wally.

1394
01:20:13,642 --> 01:20:15,143
[Chuck] I broke the agreement.

1395
01:20:16,895 --> 01:20:18,980
I slept with somebody else
after Valentine's.

1396
01:20:20,357 --> 01:20:23,985
You're talking about Sasha, my friend,

1397
01:20:25,529 --> 01:20:27,656
from the coffee house
who I introduced you to?

1398
01:20:27,739 --> 01:20:29,491
She takes my breath away.

1399
01:20:29,908 --> 01:20:30,992
Wally, she's...

1400
01:20:31,701 --> 01:20:33,495
the most intelligent woman I've ever met.

1401
01:20:33,578 --> 01:20:35,080
I mean, by far.

1402
01:20:35,789 --> 01:20:37,040
She's stupid, Chuck.

1403
01:20:38,250 --> 01:20:40,544
Don't get ugly now, Wally.
I know you've got a soft spot for her.

1404
01:20:40,627 --> 01:20:42,379
-Uh, no, I haven't.
-[Chuck] Yes, you do.

1405
01:20:42,462 --> 01:20:45,507
You've been trying to date her for years.
She told me. It's fine.

1406
01:20:47,759 --> 01:20:49,261
How long has this been going on?

1407
01:20:50,679 --> 01:20:51,680
[sighs]

1408
01:20:52,180 --> 01:20:53,306
Every day...

1409
01:20:53,974 --> 01:20:55,725
since you introduced us
at the coffee house.

1410
01:20:56,726 --> 01:20:58,395
Every day?

1411
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:00,397
Oh, Chuck.

1412
01:21:00,730 --> 01:21:03,024
I was hoping you could convince me
to stay, but...

1413
01:21:05,235 --> 01:21:06,236
Wally,

1414
01:21:07,904 --> 01:21:09,447
I can't be mad at you.

1415
01:21:11,825 --> 01:21:14,327
[exhales]
Without you, I'd never have found myself.

1416
01:21:16,788 --> 01:21:18,331
[sobs]

1417
01:21:18,415 --> 01:21:21,418
[piano playing]

1418
01:21:23,044 --> 01:21:25,463
[hurried footsteps]

1419
01:21:28,675 --> 01:21:29,843
What happened, Wally?

1420
01:21:29,926 --> 01:21:32,304
Chuck's leaving.
He doesn't wanna marry Jeanine!

1421
01:21:32,387 --> 01:21:33,471
Why?

1422
01:21:33,555 --> 01:21:35,265
He's in love with Sasha Perez!

1423
01:21:42,480 --> 01:21:43,815
But she's unlovable.

1424
01:21:46,192 --> 01:21:47,152
[car alarm beeps]

1425
01:21:47,235 --> 01:21:50,322
[Wally] Chuck! Please, don't do this!

1426
01:22:02,167 --> 01:22:03,710
You're making a big mistake.

1427
01:22:03,793 --> 01:22:06,338
-Jeanine is such a beautiful girl.
-[Chuck] I know, Wally.

1428
01:22:08,173 --> 01:22:10,091
It's gonna be so hard for her
to hear the news.

1429
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,555
But you're a writer,
so you will think of something.

1430
01:22:15,639 --> 01:22:17,599
[engine revving]

1431
01:22:27,692 --> 01:22:29,694
[somber music]

1432
01:22:34,824 --> 01:22:35,784
Wally.

1433
01:22:37,994 --> 01:22:39,162
[Kevin] He left.

1434
01:22:40,121 --> 01:22:41,831
It's not your fault, Wally.

1435
01:22:42,248 --> 01:22:44,042
His fiancée slept with you in Vegas.

1436
01:22:44,125 --> 01:22:47,170
All you've done
is try and push the Westside away.

1437
01:22:47,253 --> 01:22:48,755
[footsteps clacking]

1438
01:22:48,838 --> 01:22:50,298
But it just kept coming.

1439
01:22:53,093 --> 01:22:55,095
[people murmuring]

1440
01:22:55,178 --> 01:22:56,388
But I think we should leave.

1441
01:22:56,471 --> 01:22:58,181
Yeah, I don't think it's gonna be
any fun now.

1442
01:22:58,807 --> 01:23:00,058
He left, didn't he?

1443
01:23:00,725 --> 01:23:01,935
You look great, Tammy.

1444
01:23:02,185 --> 01:23:03,853
Who the fuck is Sasha Perez?

1445
01:23:05,271 --> 01:23:06,815
She's a friend of mine.

1446
01:23:06,898 --> 01:23:07,941
Figures.

1447
01:23:08,066 --> 01:23:10,485
I rue the day Jeanine ever got
involved with you.

1448
01:23:10,568 --> 01:23:11,820
It has been a nightmare!

1449
01:23:11,903 --> 01:23:14,155
Hey! It's not Wally's fault.

1450
01:23:14,406 --> 01:23:17,409
If it weren't for Wally,
there would be a wedding going on inside.

1451
01:23:17,492 --> 01:23:18,702
[Jeanine] Excuse me, excuse me.

1452
01:23:18,785 --> 01:23:20,495
[whispering]
[woman

1453
01:23:20,578 --> 01:23:22,038
Sasha Perez is Wally's friend.

1454
01:23:22,122 --> 01:23:24,666
Some kind of a wicked witch
from the Eastside, no doubt.

1455
01:23:24,749 --> 01:23:27,085
She probably made a voodoo doll of you
and stuck pins in it.

1456
01:23:27,168 --> 01:23:28,253
[crowd gasps]

1457
01:23:29,629 --> 01:23:30,839
I'm so sorry, Jeanine.

1458
01:23:30,922 --> 01:23:32,257
It's okay, Wally.

1459
01:23:33,675 --> 01:23:35,010
I was stupid.

1460
01:23:36,511 --> 01:23:38,138
The truth was staring right at me.

1461
01:23:38,722 --> 01:23:42,350
Chuck, he wouldn't stop reading

1462
01:23:43,184 --> 01:23:44,644
even in bed.
[crowd gasping]

-[man
-[woman

1464
01:23:46,354 --> 01:23:48,606
And suddenly, everything was wrong
with the world.

1465
01:23:49,482 --> 01:23:52,944
Poverty, racism, gentrification.

1466
01:23:53,028 --> 01:23:54,404
What an asshole!

1467
01:23:54,738 --> 01:23:56,906
Honey, why didn't you tell me any of this?

1468
01:23:56,990 --> 01:24:00,243
It's so weird, Mom,
none of it bothered me.

1469
01:24:00,660 --> 01:24:02,412
[Jeanine] I had other things on my mind.

1470
01:24:02,996 --> 01:24:04,497
All I could think about...

1471
01:24:06,082 --> 01:24:07,125
was him.

1472
01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:08,376
[crowd gasping]

1473
01:24:10,462 --> 01:24:11,463
Him?

1474
01:24:12,297 --> 01:24:13,298
Me?

1475
01:24:14,007 --> 01:24:17,093
Wally Spivak, I have been in love with you
since the night we met.

-[man

1477
01:24:19,679 --> 01:24:20,513
Really?

1478
01:24:22,932 --> 01:24:23,892
Me too.

1479
01:24:23,975 --> 01:24:25,185
Are you kidding me?

1480
01:24:25,602 --> 01:24:28,438
Jeanine, you're not in your right mind.

1481
01:24:28,521 --> 01:24:29,606
[Mrs. Mulholland] Who is he?

1482
01:24:29,689 --> 01:24:32,484
[Tammy] He's a failed writer
from a really bad neighborhood.

1483
01:24:32,567 --> 01:24:33,526
I'll marry you, Jeanine.

1484
01:24:33,610 --> 01:24:34,694
[crowd gasping]

1485
01:24:34,778 --> 01:24:35,695
What?

1486
01:24:36,696 --> 01:24:38,406
We wouldn't even have to get a new cake.

1487
01:24:39,365 --> 01:24:41,284
We could just, you know...

1488
01:24:41,993 --> 01:24:44,245
We could just walk in there and do it.

1489
01:24:44,621 --> 01:24:45,622
Really?

1490
01:24:47,290 --> 01:24:48,541
You freed me, Jeanine.

1491
01:24:50,335 --> 01:24:54,214
You opened up my head and every thought
that's ever held me back just floated out.

1492
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,176
[Wally] I feel like I can see clearly
for the first time.

1493
01:25:00,887 --> 01:25:01,763
[crowd gasping]

1494
01:25:01,846 --> 01:25:02,806
Oh, my god.

1495
01:25:05,391 --> 01:25:06,351
Will you marry me?

1496
01:25:06,434 --> 01:25:07,393
-No!
-No!

1497
01:25:07,477 --> 01:25:08,436
-Yes!
-Yes!

1498
01:25:13,441 --> 01:25:15,110
Of course, I'll marry you, Wally.

1499
01:25:15,193 --> 01:25:16,653
[groaning]
[Mrs. Mulholland] No.

1500
01:25:16,986 --> 01:25:19,614
[dramatic music]

1501
01:25:29,290 --> 01:25:31,126
[chuckling]
You guys.

1502
01:25:34,796 --> 01:25:37,090
-I love you, guys.
-[Jeanine] Yeah.

1503
01:25:37,340 --> 01:25:38,883
[Kevin] Pretty fickle, Tammy.

1504
01:25:38,967 --> 01:25:40,176
She's my best friend.

1505
01:25:42,637 --> 01:25:44,889
Hey, Tammy, you think we could hang out
with those Laker Girls?

1506
01:25:44,973 --> 01:25:46,307
You know, give it another shot?

1507
01:25:47,100 --> 01:25:48,518
Over my dead body.

1508
01:25:53,648 --> 01:25:55,567
[gong bangs]

1509
01:25:59,404 --> 01:26:02,031
[oriental Chinese music]

1510
01:26:07,662 --> 01:26:08,830
[fans rattling]

1511
01:26:08,913 --> 01:26:10,999
For centuries,
in the most primitive way, of course,

1512
01:26:11,082 --> 01:26:13,585
I mean, culture has always allowed people
to adapt to their environment

1513
01:26:13,668 --> 01:26:16,004
in the most non-genetic way,
which I think is fantastic.

1514
01:26:16,087 --> 01:26:19,757
And I would like to dig deeper, you know,
kind of figure out what that's all about.

1515
01:26:19,841 --> 01:26:23,344
Right? I mean, custom, belief, law, sex.

1516
01:26:23,428 --> 01:26:24,888
[Sasha] I mean, the list goes on, really.

1517
01:26:24,971 --> 01:26:26,931
Conversely, culture can be bought.

1518
01:26:27,015 --> 01:26:29,475
It can be taught,
it can be reappropriated.

1519
01:26:29,559 --> 01:26:30,602
Uh, I just...
[smooches]

1520
01:26:30,685 --> 01:26:34,689
Authentically, I wanna get to the root
of why we're all here.

1521
01:26:35,064 --> 01:26:37,066
[calm music]

1522
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:46,492
Uh... Uh, hi.

1523
01:26:47,202 --> 01:26:49,871
Sorry, I don't... I don't play.

1524
01:26:50,205 --> 01:26:51,331
It's okay.

1525
01:26:51,706 --> 01:26:53,499
I usually play by myself.

1526
01:26:53,583 --> 01:26:54,667
Oh, you speak English.

1527
01:26:54,751 --> 01:26:56,169
[Zheng] Yes.
[soft chuckle]

1528
01:26:57,086 --> 01:26:59,214
You're American, right?

1529
01:27:00,465 --> 01:27:02,592
More and more so, it seems these days.

1530
01:27:03,468 --> 01:27:06,804
I'm, uh, originally
from a little seaside town

1531
01:27:06,888 --> 01:27:08,473
in England called Brighton.

1532
01:27:09,098 --> 01:27:11,017
I live mostly in Los Angeles now,

1533
01:27:11,517 --> 01:27:13,353
Boyle Heights via Cheviot Hills.

1534
01:27:15,188 --> 01:27:16,439
It's near the Dodger Stadium.

1535
01:27:16,522 --> 01:27:18,191
Oh.
[chuckles]

1536
01:27:19,025 --> 01:27:20,568
How's the book?

1537
01:27:24,197 --> 01:27:25,406
It's terrific.

1538
01:27:26,449 --> 01:27:27,909
It's really wonderful writing.

1539
01:27:28,826 --> 01:27:30,119
[Chuck] By a friend of mine.

1540
01:27:32,789 --> 01:27:34,165
Great guy, actually.

1541
01:27:34,249 --> 01:27:36,251
He married my fiancée.
[Sasha mumbling nearby]

1542
01:27:37,627 --> 01:27:39,295
Do you wanna read it? I'm done.

1543
01:27:39,379 --> 01:27:42,298
Yes. I'd love to. Thank you.

1544
01:27:44,133 --> 01:27:45,301
"Spivak."

1545
01:27:45,843 --> 01:27:48,012
[Chuck] I actually play
a pretty big part in it.

1546
01:27:48,554 --> 01:27:49,555
Huh.

1547
01:27:50,765 --> 01:27:51,933
[fans rattling]

1548
01:27:54,978 --> 01:27:55,979
So...

1549
01:27:57,397 --> 01:27:58,690
wanna hang out sometime?

1550
01:28:02,402 --> 01:28:05,405
[closing theme music]
