Hey!

So, what exactly is this assignment?

It's just a portrait, but they give us a lot of freedom in deciding how to stage our photos.

Okay, so what are you thinking?

I want you to be the only focus of the photo. I'm going to put you in a completely dark room and have a light shining on one side of your face.

(laughing) You'll see what I mean.

Are we doing it in here?

Lighting studio. This way.

Alright. So I'm going to be using this spotlight on you, and it's going to be bright, so try not to look at it.

Now for the awkward part.

I need to measure the light for the exposure.

What?

It means I have to put this right up to your face.

Yikes! f/5.6 at about four seconds...

Do you think you can hold perfectly still for about four seconds?

I can try.

Okay.

Let me know when you're ready.

I'm ready whenever.

On three.

One, two, three.

Got it.

So, how does it look?

Well, I have to develop it first, I don't really feel like doing that right now.

I'm sure it'll look great though. I'll send you a print when it's ready.

Cool! Thanks, man!

No problem. And thank you for helping me!

Are we still on for a movie on Tuesday?

Yeah, sounds good!

Cool. See you then.

You're here...

Where else would I be?

I- I don't know. I didn't think you cared enough about me to be here.

Of course I care about you.

You're being too mean to yourself.

Maybe you're right.

I'm really glad to see you again.

Me too.

Why here?

Why me?

Oh Lars, you don't know, do you?

Know what?

It's you.

It's me?

What do you mean?

What's it called, again?

Lapskaus.

Laupskas.

Lapskaus.

Lap- Lap- Loup-

Lapskaus.

It's Norwegian beef stew. It's my great-grandmother's recipe.

Well, it smells amazing.

Thanks!

I've never danced with anyone... who danced like you.

I've been looking for you... all my life.

I wonder how they did the fading effects on film.

You know there's plot, right?

Yeah.

I watch movies for the plot, sometimes, okay?

This is a good love story.

Yeah.

But I wish there were more... queer stories back then.

Queer people were pretty much forced to hide.

Yeah, must've been terrible.

I mean, I can sort of relate to having to... hide parts of myself... at certain times, but...

Not at that level.

What about you?

What- what about me?

Well, I don't know-

Do you feel like you've ever had to... hide something about yourself?

Honestly, no.

I mean, at least not like that, you know?

Okay.

Soup's delicious, by the way.

You're going to have to make it for me again sometime.

For sure.

Wish all my friends could cook.

I get to choose the movie next time.

May I have this dance?

I don't know how.

Yes, you do.

I've been waiting for you all my life.

Ugh, I hate this part.

What part?

It's over.

It doesn't have to be, we can just start it over... right?

That's not how this works.

You know this isn't real, right?

Yeah... I know.

So why do you choose this?

I don't know if I do, it just sort of... happens.

I'm glad it does, though.

Why?

It's...

It's the closest I'll ever get to being with you.

You have to tell me.

I can't.

You know you have to.

I- I don't want to.

I just want to stay here with you.

Please...

Just once more.

Hey, Lars!

What's up?

Not much.

Well, that's not true.

I need to tell you something.

What is it?

I...

You okay?

I like you.

I know you probably don't feel the same way, so I don't know why I'm telling you this, I-

I just need you to know.

Lars, listen, I'm- I'm flattered, but I-

You don't need to say anything.

I- I get it.

Lars, I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

I'm so sorry.

You're here.

Where else would I be?

I did it.

I told you and... I feel a thousand times shittier.

Lars, you know there was nothing you could do but move on.

I don't know how to move on.

You've said that before.

You've said it about Grant...

You've said it about Nick...

And you said it about Will.

God, this happens a lot.

And it will happen again.

I don't know if I can do it again.

Yes, you can.

You just need to realize something.

What?

You don't need me.

Just like you didn't need anybody before me.

Why are you telling me all this?

You still don't know, do you?

Know what?

I love you.

I-

I love you, too.
