1
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,450
[bells chiming]
2
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:24,790
[Joe] Well, hello there.
3
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:26,960
Who are you?
4
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,340
Based on your vibe, a student.
5
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:32,300
Your blouse is loose.
6
00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:36,140
You're not here to be ogled,
but those bracelets, they jangle.
7
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,970
You like a little attention.
8
00:00:38,050 --> 00:00:40,010
Okay, I bite.
9
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,560
You search the books.
Fiction, "F" through "K."
10
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,850
Now...
11
00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:47,980
Hmm, you're not
the standard insecure nymph
12
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:50,780
hunting for Faulkner you'll never finish.
13
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Too sun-kissed for Stephen King.
14
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,490
Who will you buy?
15
00:00:56,030 --> 00:00:58,070
[Beck gasps] Sorry.
16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,040
[Joe] You sound apologetic,
like you're embarrassed to be a good girl,
17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,710
and you murmur your first word to me.
18
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,170
Hello.
19
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:10,290
Do you work here?
20
00:01:11,130 --> 00:01:12,590
Guilty.
21
00:01:12,670 --> 00:01:15,130
- Can I help you find something?
- Paula Fox.
22
00:01:15,220 --> 00:01:16,220
It's a good choice.
23
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,390
Hmm, I feel weirdly validated.
24
00:01:18,470 --> 00:01:21,470
[chuckles] Follow me.
25
00:01:25,020 --> 00:01:26,020
She's gonna be in here.
26
00:01:26,060 --> 00:01:29,560
"Celebrity authors"?
I thought Fox was pretty obscure.
27
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:32,980
She is Courtney Love's
maternal grandmother.
28
00:01:33,070 --> 00:01:34,256
You're not expected to know that.
29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,900
Good. I didn't.
30
00:01:35,990 --> 00:01:39,240
Mr. Mooney wants anyone in here
who's even tangentially famous.
31
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:40,570
He thinks it sells more books.
32
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:41,910
That's sad.
33
00:01:41,990 --> 00:01:43,790
People buying books
because of what's popular,
34
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:46,910
and not because they wanna be moved
or changed in some way.
35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,170
Yeah. It's an epidemic.
36
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:55,050
Yeah, you see this guy?
Here, the glasses, behind you.
37
00:01:55,130 --> 00:01:58,130
He just grabbed Dan Brown's latest
on the way in.
38
00:01:58,220 --> 00:02:01,930
So he's gonna wander around
for another, like, five or ten minutes,
39
00:02:02,010 --> 00:02:03,696
just to find something legitimate
to buy with it.
40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Oh, like the cereal guys buy
when they're really there for condoms.
41
00:02:06,730 --> 00:02:09,650
Only makes it more conspicuous.
Like, own your shit.
42
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:12,440
If Dan Brown's your kink,
then be out about it.
43
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:16,140
[scoffs] At the end of the day,
44
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:18,450
people really are disappointing,
aren't they?
45
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,320
Sometimes they surprise you.
46
00:02:23,830 --> 00:02:27,040
- Paula Fox. Top shelf. You want me to...
- Oh, no, I got it.
47
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,500
[Joe] Oh. Are you not wearing a bra?
48
00:02:33,590 --> 00:02:35,670
And you want me to notice.
49
00:02:35,750 --> 00:02:36,960
If this was a movie,
50
00:02:37,050 --> 00:02:41,510
I'd grab you
and we'd go at it right in the stacks.
51
00:02:41,590 --> 00:02:44,890
Have you read her fiction?
Desperate Characters, it's her best.
52
00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:46,560
[sighs] That's what I keep hearing.
53
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,866
- You haven't read Desperate Characters?
- I know. I know.
54
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:50,730
I'm worried
it's not gonna live up to the hype.
55
00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:52,610
I can safely say it is that good.
56
00:02:52,690 --> 00:02:56,400
That's a high endorsement.
And from a bookstore clerk, nonetheless.
57
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,070
Well, it's bookstore manager.
58
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:00,150
Hello? Anyone working here?
59
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:02,700
- Asshole.
- Mmm...
60
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:05,450
- Whoa.
- [chuckles]
61
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:11,896
Do you mind? Uh, I'm in a hurry.
62
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,590
[Joe] He's just pissed he's gotta
buy Salinger to feel respectable
63
00:03:14,670 --> 00:03:18,090
when all he really wants to do
is eat Cheetos and jerk it to iPorn
64
00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:22,220
before washing it all down
with a Dan Brown chaser.
65
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,470
Have a nice day, sir.
66
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,020
Okay, I'm going for it.
67
00:03:30,100 --> 00:03:32,810
- Good. You won't regret it.
- I'd better not.
68
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:34,520
Paula Fox. Nice.
69
00:03:34,610 --> 00:03:37,190
You know, she was, uh,
Courtney Love's maternal grandmother.
70
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:38,400
That's why I'm buying it.
71
00:03:41,530 --> 00:03:45,320
[Joe] You have enough cash to cover this,
but you want me to know your name.
72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,530
- "Guinevere"?
- Yeah.
73
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:50,450
My parents were assholes
with the whole naming thing.
74
00:03:50,540 --> 00:03:52,210
But everyone just calls me Beck.
75
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And you're Joe...
76
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:57,090
Goldberg.
77
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,010
Everyone calls me Joe.
78
00:04:00,090 --> 00:04:01,220
[chuckles]
79
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:06,116
Aren't you gonna tell me
to have a nice day?
80
00:04:06,140 --> 00:04:08,060
You have a nice day, Beck.
81
00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:09,930
You have one yourself, Joe.
82
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:17,110
[Joe] You smiled, laughed at my jokes,
83
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:21,190
told me your name, asked for mine.
84
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:24,860
She write her number on there?
She was on you hard.
85
00:04:24,950 --> 00:04:26,740
No, she was just being nice.
86
00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:28,556
I'd be googling the hell out of her
right now.
87
00:04:28,580 --> 00:04:29,580
You know her full name.
88
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,870
That's pretty aggressive, Ethan.
89
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:35,790
What do I tell you?
Always be closing that shit.
90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,960
[both] If you need me,
I'll be in cookbooks.
91
00:04:40,050 --> 00:04:42,720
But for work. Not for fun. I swear.
92
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:47,010
[Joe] At the end of the day, people are
really just disappointing, aren't they?
93
00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:56,730
But are you, Beck? Are you?
94
00:05:14,750 --> 00:05:17,880
Yes, people find "the one."
95
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,340
I believe that. I try to stay open.
96
00:05:21,420 --> 00:05:24,670
I was in love once.
She broke my heart, Beck.
97
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,220
Ugh, she really did a number on me.
98
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,350
I should've seen the signs.
99
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:32,560
But we never do when we're in love.
100
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,480
- Exhibit A. Claudia and Ron.
- [indistinct arguing]
101
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,150
[Ron] I went out for a couple of drinks.
Get off my back.
102
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:40,650
[Joe] Claudia's a nurse. Single parent.
103
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:42,086
[Claudia] Leave me alone!
You're on your phone...
104
00:05:42,110 --> 00:05:45,820
[Joe] You think she knew Ron was a shitbag
when she fell in love?
105
00:05:45,900 --> 00:05:47,450
No, she thought he was a prince.
106
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,320
Hey, Paco.
107
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:51,080
'Sup, Joe?
108
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:51,990
[Joe] And now,
109
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,910
- hers is not the only life she ruined.
- [Claudia] Leave me alone!
110
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,080
Why is coming home such a chore for you?
[continues indistinctly]
111
00:05:58,170 --> 00:05:59,290
Is everything cool in there?
112
00:05:59,330 --> 00:06:01,420
Yeah, Mom and Ron are just talking.
113
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:02,380
[Claudia] You always go out
with your friends!
114
00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:03,960
- And I'm sick of it!
- Wow.
115
00:06:04,050 --> 00:06:06,130
You are burning through that book,
aren't you?
116
00:06:07,050 --> 00:06:09,130
Reads quick. It's good.
117
00:06:09,970 --> 00:06:12,220
Let me know when you finish.
I'll get you another one.
118
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,270
[Claudia] Screw you, Ron! Get out of here!
Leave me alone.
119
00:06:15,350 --> 00:06:16,850
[continues indistinctly]
120
00:06:16,930 --> 00:06:17,930
Are you hungry?
121
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,520
'Cause, you know,
I just got this meatball sub,
122
00:06:21,610 --> 00:06:23,520
but I remembered
I have Thai from last night.
123
00:06:25,530 --> 00:06:27,530
Nah. My mom will just
make me something later.
124
00:06:27,610 --> 00:06:30,160
That's a shame. This won't keep.
It's getting tossed.
125
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:32,490
You sure, Joe?
126
00:06:34,740 --> 00:06:36,540
"All for one and one for all."
127
00:06:50,180 --> 00:06:54,560
[Joe] The point, Beck...
Love is, uh, tricky.
128
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,560
[rock song playing on record]
129
00:07:13,780 --> 00:07:15,990
[Joe] A guy needs to protect himself.
130
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,950
I had to be sure you're safe.
131
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,710
And your name
was a glorious place to start.
132
00:07:21,790 --> 00:07:23,830
Not a lot of Guinevere Becks.
133
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:27,800
And there you were.
Every account set to public.
134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,470
You want to be seen, heard, known.
135
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:34,930
Of course, I obliged.
136
00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:39,140
Born and raised, Nantucket Island.
137
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,020
A brother, Clyde, and sister, Anya.
138
00:07:42,100 --> 00:07:45,190
Your parents really were assholes
about the names.
139
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:49,360
Your folks split when you were 12.
Your dad dropped out of the picture.
140
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:52,490
Went to Brown
where you majored in lit. Cool.
141
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:54,950
And minored in douchebags. Hmm.
142
00:07:55,030 --> 00:07:58,790
And then on to NYC to conquer an MFA
and make your mark, presumably.
143
00:07:58,870 --> 00:08:00,910
Now you still write. Barely.
144
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,790
Too busy living out moments
you won't remember five years from now.
145
00:08:03,870 --> 00:08:07,790
I know this because you post
about this life all the goddamn time.
146
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,460
[all speaking indistinctly]
147
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:13,340
[Joe] Candidly, it's the least
appealing thing about you, Beck.
148
00:08:14,380 --> 00:08:16,430
You posted this hours after our encounter.
149
00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:17,430
[camera shutter clicks]
150
00:08:17,510 --> 00:08:20,640
[Joe] I was concerned you didn't mention
that cute guy in a bookstore.
151
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,520
And then I realized
your online life isn't real.
152
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,650
It's a collage.
153
00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:27,860
You paste this Beck up. This...
154
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:31,240
together, lovable, cute,
bendy little creature.
155
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920
If anything, the fact that
you didn't share me with your followers
156
00:08:33,950 --> 00:08:36,320
only confirms we really connected.
157
00:08:36,410 --> 00:08:39,910
The next thing our little friend
the Internet gave me was your address.
158
00:08:45,370 --> 00:08:49,710
There it is, with its big, naked windows.
159
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,090
It's nice. Too nice.
160
00:08:51,170 --> 00:08:53,720
I'm thinking subsidized school housing.
161
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,100
Jesus! It's like you've never
seen a horror movie or the news.
162
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:08,020
But you want people to watch, don't you?
163
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,206
You know,
I plan on asking you about this quality
164
00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:11,780
when we get to know each other better.
165
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,320
A proposal.
166
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,280
Why don't we
spend the day together tomorrow?
167
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,570
Just you and me?
168
00:09:16,660 --> 00:09:19,700
[Beck] To everyone out there
chasing their dreams, don't give up.
169
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:22,790
And in the meantime, mac and cheese!
170
00:09:23,790 --> 00:09:30,290
[Joe] It's cute. Not deep. But cute.
Is there more to you? Let's find out.
171
00:09:41,140 --> 00:09:42,970
Our day starts at the ass-crack of dawn.
172
00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:45,600
I know from your posted schedule
that you teach a 6:30 class
173
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:47,390
called Get Up N Flow.
174
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,150
You caress the sweaty backs of bulimic,
dead-eyed real mommies of SoHo...
175
00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:54,690
I am loving your form today, Tasha.
176
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:57,400
[Joe] ...offering smiles
and lies of encouragement.
177
00:09:57,490 --> 00:09:58,660
[Beck continues indistinctly]
178
00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:01,950
[Joe] By 10:00, you're at campus
to TA a Romantics class
179
00:10:02,030 --> 00:10:03,790
and play Vanna White to some shirt.
180
00:10:03,870 --> 00:10:05,700
Morning, Professor Leahy.
181
00:10:05,790 --> 00:10:08,870
I told you, it's Paul.
Are you ready for class?
182
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,640
[Joe] Professor Obvious wants to fuck you.
183
00:10:11,420 --> 00:10:14,760
Now, you're smart.
You let him think one day he might.
184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,240
And what's the harm in that, right?
185
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,680
After class,
you head to your favorite café
186
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,310
to write for the first time all day.
187
00:10:23,390 --> 00:10:25,270
But your life doesn't cooperate.
188
00:10:27,310 --> 00:10:29,440
Your wealthy girlfriends
have just now woken up,
189
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,850
and have nothing better to do
190
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:34,190
than plan their next pointless
yet instagrammable night.
191
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:36,030
Can we get real for a second?
192
00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:38,110
You have questionable taste in friends,
Beck.
193
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:46,330
- [all] Cheers!
- Yeah!
194
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:48,960
- Oh, yes. Happy birthday!
- [Annika laughs] Thank you so much.
195
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,630
[Joe] And expensive taste in lives.
196
00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:54,210
- Ready?
- Thank you.
197
00:10:56,170 --> 00:10:57,880
- [gasps]
- Do you like it?
198
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,180
No, I hate it. Of course I love it!
199
00:11:01,260 --> 00:11:02,816
Jason didn't even
get her something that nice,
200
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,640
and Annika finally let him do anal.
201
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,680
- [Lynn] Oh, my God!
- Please, please, it was time.
202
00:11:07,770 --> 00:11:10,940
Please open my gift next and tell me
how much you hate me then, lady.
203
00:11:14,770 --> 00:11:15,820
[Annika gasps]
204
00:11:16,820 --> 00:11:20,530
A butterfly? It's my spirit animal
for the year. You remembered?
205
00:11:20,610 --> 00:11:22,360
Only 'cause you wouldn't shut up about it.
206
00:11:22,450 --> 00:11:25,370
[Joe] You want so badly to be one of them.
207
00:11:25,450 --> 00:11:26,806
- [Beck] Happy birthday.
- [Annika] You look so beautiful.
208
00:11:26,830 --> 00:11:28,176
[Joe] Well, they've got nothing to do
after this.
209
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,040
So, yeah, they'll party till 5:00
and scrape it together tomorrow.
210
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,580
But you can't.
You have to work for a living.
211
00:11:34,380 --> 00:11:37,250
A McQueen, Beck? How much was it?
212
00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:38,880
[chuckles] It was on clearance.
213
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,800
They haven't put a McQueen scarf
on clearance
214
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,630
since he hung himself in 2010.
215
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:44,970
It'd be too much
even if she did deserve it,
216
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:46,560
which she does not.
217
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,970
[Joe] Hmm. Not all your friends are dumb.
218
00:11:49,060 --> 00:11:50,430
[Peach] You always do this.
219
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,060
You make, like, a big gesture
that you can't afford because...
220
00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:59,230
- [scoffs] I'm sorry, you're too nice.
- It's no big deal. I had, um, a gift card.
221
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,610
How broke are you?
222
00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:05,370
Just tell me what's up.
223
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:06,990
[Joe] Actually sounds like she cares.
224
00:12:07,910 --> 00:12:08,926
[Beck] Look, I appreciate...
225
00:12:08,950 --> 00:12:11,580
[Peach] Why don't you just let me
loan you some cash?
226
00:12:11,660 --> 00:12:13,580
Okay? I keep telling you, it's nothing.
227
00:12:13,670 --> 00:12:15,170
[Joe] Also, sounds condescending.
228
00:12:15,250 --> 00:12:19,920
You know I'd do anything for you.
Don't forget that.
229
00:12:21,340 --> 00:12:24,220
- Sure you can't come out with us?
- I gotta write.
230
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:26,050
Virtuous. Catch you later?
231
00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:33,190
[Joe] Is that the best friend you've got?
232
00:12:33,980 --> 00:12:36,440
If so, Beck, you really are alone.
233
00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:48,950
Your social media's a liar.
234
00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:52,290
It says
you're a happy-go-lucky dilettante.
235
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,960
But, underneath it all,
you seem like the genuine article.
236
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,460
Stretched ADD thin, sure,
but as soon as the door closes...
237
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:03,800
you're back at the keyboard,
trying to write.
238
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,390
[cell phone vibrates]
239
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:13,600
[sighs]
240
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:24,820
[man] Thanks.
241
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:29,620
Keep the change, man.
242
00:13:32,790 --> 00:13:34,790
Hey. Let me up.
243
00:13:35,370 --> 00:13:38,250
[Joe] Uh, Beck, who the fuck is this?
244
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:49,156
My best friend walked in
on you getting your dick sucked
245
00:13:49,180 --> 00:13:53,010
by some random woman in a bathroom
at a party that I took you to!
246
00:13:53,100 --> 00:13:55,060
I was wasted. I didn't even finish.
247
00:13:55,140 --> 00:13:58,520
That's your apology? "I didn't cum."
That's the one you're going with?
248
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,126
I obviously shouldn't have gone
in the bathroom
249
00:14:00,150 --> 00:14:01,350
with any girl that wasn't you.
250
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,280
But she said she had good coke,
and I'd been seriously stressed.
251
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,200
I thought,
when Johno and I started our line,
252
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,176
it was gonna be like
picking out flavors and shit.
253
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,200
It turns out it's 16-hour lectures
on microbial management.
254
00:14:13,290 --> 00:14:15,790
And that's why no one starts
their own artisanal soda company,
255
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:18,580
and why America has to keep drinking crap
that's giving 'em cancer.
256
00:14:18,670 --> 00:14:22,590
You actually managed to connect
your illicit blowjob to curing cancer.
257
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:25,420
I'm genuinely impressed.
258
00:14:29,010 --> 00:14:30,010
Beck, I...
259
00:14:30,510 --> 00:14:33,680
Seriously, I am drowning in work.
260
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,100
I don't have time to keep hooking up
or whatever it is you're even capable of.
261
00:14:38,180 --> 00:14:42,980
I know I've done some stupid shit,
but I'm on it now.
262
00:14:44,650 --> 00:14:48,280
I don't wanna be
just some guy you sleep with.
263
00:14:51,570 --> 00:14:53,700
[whispering] God, you make me insane.
264
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,880
[Joe] Way to go, Beck.
Looks like a catch.
265
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,170
Benjamin J. Ashby III.
Oh, there's three of them.
266
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:10,220
Greenwich-born, boarding-school bred.
267
00:15:10,300 --> 00:15:13,600
His father is the Ben Ashby
of Ashby Brokerage.
268
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,390
Two failed careers. Model. Oh, boy.
269
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:17,850
And co-creator of a dating app
270
00:15:17,930 --> 00:15:21,350
that connects people
through musical tastes called LoveHooks.
271
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,150
Current CEO of Home Soda
Artisanal Beverages.
272
00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:25,230
Motto...
273
00:15:25,650 --> 00:15:27,530
"Drink better by hand,"
which makes no sense,
274
00:15:27,610 --> 00:15:28,860
but evokes a homespun quality
275
00:15:28,940 --> 00:15:32,240
that lines up with a guy
who wears $600 Japanese sneakers.
276
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,080
The hair, the privilege he tries to hide
with retweets of Black Lives Matter.
277
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:41,670
Not to sound judgey, but this guy
is everything wrong with America.
278
00:15:44,210 --> 00:15:45,920
See, this is why I do my research.
279
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,880
You fall for the wrong men.
280
00:15:48,590 --> 00:15:49,590
Bad men.
281
00:15:49,630 --> 00:15:52,090
You let them in. You let them hurt you.
282
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:54,680
Too far away to know for sure,
but my guess is,
283
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,480
if he came anywhere close
to making you cum,
284
00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:58,810
you would've made a Broadway show
out of it.
285
00:15:58,890 --> 00:16:01,140
But you didn't, 'cause he didn't.
286
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:02,390
[exhales]
287
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,690
- "Desperate Characters."
- Yeah, I just got it.
288
00:16:09,780 --> 00:16:11,626
Borrow it when I'm done.
It's supposed to be her best.
289
00:16:11,650 --> 00:16:13,150
Johno's consultant we brought in,
290
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,160
she's been all over me
about this kind of thing.
291
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,910
Saged the crap out of the office.
292
00:16:17,740 --> 00:16:20,330
The book title
has the word "desperate" in it.
293
00:16:20,410 --> 00:16:23,290
You don't want to think of yourself
as a desperate character, Beck.
294
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,000
Because you're the opposite, babe.
295
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,460
You're the smartest girl I know.
296
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,380
Honestly, you blow me away.
297
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:38,760
[cell phone vibrating]
298
00:16:38,850 --> 00:16:41,890
Oh, shit. Gotta roll.
Johno's blowing up my phone.
299
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:45,480
Hey, you should come by the office,
test out some new flavors.
300
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,400
We're doing cumin.
I know how much you like Indian food.
301
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,690
Sure. Sounds good.
302
00:16:50,780 --> 00:16:52,610
It looks good on you, by the way.
303
00:16:54,740 --> 00:16:56,070
The extra weight.
304
00:16:59,910 --> 00:17:01,750
Yeah. Hey. I'm on my way, bro.
305
00:17:01,830 --> 00:17:03,200
You guys ordering pizzas?
306
00:17:03,750 --> 00:17:06,170
Yeah, don't dick me over like last time.
Gluten-free crust.
307
00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:08,920
Not from that vegan place.
Vegan cheese tastes like asshole.
308
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,750
[door opens and closes]
309
00:17:18,260 --> 00:17:19,140
[door closes]
310
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:21,430
[Benji] I'm talking French gourmet shit.
311
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,020
No. Johno. Johno. Listen to me.
312
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:27,650
They can't do half-gluten-free
'cause it's dough.
313
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:29,310
They have to use a spelt dough.
314
00:17:57,630 --> 00:17:59,180
[Joe] So you didn't finish.
315
00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,220
[breathing heavily]
316
00:18:11,770 --> 00:18:13,020
[gasps]
317
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:31,170
[breathing heavily]
318
00:18:32,170 --> 00:18:33,840
Just like that.
319
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,400
Thank you. You're so kind. [chuckles]
320
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,020
I don't suppose you can
help me get a cab, can you?
321
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:54,980
Of course.
322
00:18:55,070 --> 00:18:56,480
- Thanks.
- Yeah.
323
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
[Claudia moaning]
324
00:19:15,090 --> 00:19:18,090
Wow. Don't tell me
you're finished already.
325
00:19:18,170 --> 00:19:19,300
Almost.
326
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:20,720
It's so good.
327
00:19:21,510 --> 00:19:22,986
Sometimes the dialogue's weird, though.
328
00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:25,600
Like when they're killing each other
and still all nice about it.
329
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,730
Well, it was the 19th century.
People still had manners.
330
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:32,270
I was hoping we could go get another one.
331
00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:36,570
[sighs] I mean, it's pretty late, Pac.
I don't know.
332
00:19:36,650 --> 00:19:38,780
[Claudia moaning] Oh, yeah.
333
00:19:39,530 --> 00:19:41,030
I want you to cum...
334
00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:42,336
[Joe] Something's
in the air tonight, Beck,
335
00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:45,660
'cause everyone but me is getting action.
336
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,910
Even the lovebirds made up.
337
00:19:47,990 --> 00:19:50,660
Yeah. Yeah, why not? Sure.
338
00:19:52,330 --> 00:19:55,630
[Paco] Did you know
Dumas was a black dude? I googled him.
339
00:19:55,710 --> 00:19:58,670
His grandmother was a slave,
and his dad was a brigadier general.
340
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,420
He killed like half a battalion.
341
00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:03,590
You probably knew that
since you work at a bookstore.
342
00:20:04,300 --> 00:20:05,140
I didn't.
343
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:07,740
- How'd you get to work here, anyway?
- Mr. Mooney gave me a job
344
00:20:07,810 --> 00:20:10,290
when I was just a little older than you.
He sort of took me in.
345
00:20:10,350 --> 00:20:12,270
- He seems nice.
- He's a dick.
346
00:20:13,100 --> 00:20:16,400
But he loved books,
and he taught me to love them, too.
347
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,730
I never see him around here.
348
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:20,610
- Is he dead?
- No. He's just old.
349
00:20:20,690 --> 00:20:21,900
I'm sorry, Pac.
350
00:20:22,530 --> 00:20:24,690
I had one back here for you,
but Ethan must've sold it.
351
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:27,120
- Sold what?
- Your next read.
352
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Come on. I'll show you
where we keep the good stuff.
353
00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:46,470
[Paco] Freaky.
354
00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:53,310
It's the Cage.
355
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,520
It's where we keep
early editions and collectibles.
356
00:20:57,060 --> 00:20:57,900
It's cold.
357
00:20:57,980 --> 00:21:00,280
Sixty-five degrees. For the books.
358
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:02,740
If the zombies come,
this is where I'm hiding.
359
00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:05,740
Why don't you set that milkshake down?
360
00:21:26,220 --> 00:21:27,220
[Mooney] Careful, Joseph.
361
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:32,720
When it comes to the value of a book,
it's all about condition. I'll show you.
362
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:34,100
[Joe] It's always 65 degrees.
363
00:21:34,180 --> 00:21:38,810
Humidity 40%.
Too moist, the pages can mildew...
364
00:21:38,900 --> 00:21:40,480
[Mooney] Too dry, they get brittle.
365
00:21:40,570 --> 00:21:42,780
Always keep books upright
366
00:21:42,860 --> 00:21:46,070
so the spines don't become rolled
or warped or what we call "cocked."
367
00:21:46,150 --> 00:21:49,240
And we never wanna
fold or crease the pages.
368
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,040
And we dust the covers
with a chemical-free duster.
369
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,620
Always towards the spine.
370
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:57,080
Under no circumstances
is there any sunlight in this room.
371
00:21:57,170 --> 00:21:59,420
Sunlight can ruin a book as fast as fire.
372
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Faster.
373
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,880
That's a lot of stuff to remember
just to take care of some old books.
374
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,840
The most valuable things in life
are usually...
375
00:22:10,180 --> 00:22:11,180
the most helpless.
376
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,640
So they need people like us
to protect them. You know?
377
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:24,320
"Don Quicks-oat."
378
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,070
Quixote.
It's about a guy who believes in chivalry,
379
00:22:27,150 --> 00:22:28,990
so he decides to be an old-school knight.
380
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:30,160
What's chivalry?
381
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,620
It's treating people with respect.
Especially women. Like men should.
382
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:35,680
It's good. It's one of my favorites.
383
00:22:36,410 --> 00:22:38,040
I probably shouldn't take this home.
384
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,726
It's not a first edition,
it's just an old one.
385
00:22:39,750 --> 00:22:41,290
Besides, I trust you.
386
00:22:59,060 --> 00:23:01,480
- Where you been, Paco?
- We just grabbed some milkshakes.
387
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,980
- You just walk off with strangers?
- Joe's not a stranger.
388
00:23:05,070 --> 00:23:06,280
Yes, he is.
389
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,280
Inside. Now. Okay?
390
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,266
Keep away from my girlfriend's kid.
391
00:23:18,290 --> 00:23:22,330
Look, I'm sorry, but he was out here,
and he could hear everything in there.
392
00:23:22,420 --> 00:23:23,700
Don't you tell me how to parent.
393
00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:26,726
This whole nice guy act
might work on other people.
394
00:23:26,750 --> 00:23:29,720
I'm a parole officer, 15 years,
and I can see what you are.
395
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,220
[Joe] Well, you're an alcoholic shitbag
who beats women.
396
00:23:32,300 --> 00:23:34,470
So, please, enlighten me.
397
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:36,720
You're a freak.
398
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:39,656
So, stay away from Paco,
because if you don't,
399
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,980
I'll grab a steak knife
and I'll cut those freak eyes out.
400
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,730
[Joe] There are scary people
in the world, Beck.
401
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,800
That's why it's important to be safe.
402
00:23:54,030 --> 00:23:56,450
And why I have to do what I'm about to do.
403
00:24:04,210 --> 00:24:05,210
Fun fact.
404
00:24:06,090 --> 00:24:09,710
Did you know the law requires
gas leaks to be investigated?
405
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,316
I've been learning a lot since I met you.
406
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:13,510
Hey, Beck? You left the door open again.
407
00:24:13,590 --> 00:24:15,640
I thought we said
we weren't gonna do that anymore.
408
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,656
I was careful to call the gas company
on a day when you had a full schedule.
409
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,930
I wouldn't wanna scare you.
410
00:24:20,020 --> 00:24:21,810
Hey. Is Beck here?
411
00:24:21,890 --> 00:24:24,230
Nope. Super let me in.
Someone reported a leak.
412
00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:26,206
Right. Yeah. She mentioned that.
Is everything okay?
413
00:24:26,230 --> 00:24:28,900
Yeah, all clear.
Tell your girlfriend there's no leak.
414
00:24:29,530 --> 00:24:30,530
I'm done, so...
415
00:24:30,570 --> 00:24:32,780
Okay. Thanks. Well, I can just lock up.
416
00:24:37,660 --> 00:24:39,990
I just need to know who you really are.
417
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,830
Besides a broke poetry student
418
00:24:41,910 --> 00:24:44,460
in a subsidized apartment
you could never afford.
419
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,630
Where is it, Beck?
420
00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:49,920
When we live together,
your place won't be a pigsty.
421
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,050
I'll clean for us.
422
00:24:52,630 --> 00:24:56,930
And you won't eat all this frozen shit.
I'll cook for you every day. I promise.
423
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:04,390
I'll even do your laundry.
424
00:25:06,690 --> 00:25:08,480
And take care of your favorite books.
425
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,240
I'll make our bed every morning.
426
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,530
Oh, there it is.
427
00:25:16,610 --> 00:25:18,200
And no matter how hard you fight me,
428
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,080
I will always make sure
you password protect your devices.
429
00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:28,750
[Leahy] "One day
You won't need love anymore
430
00:25:29,790 --> 00:25:31,430
One day, you won't walk through the world
431
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,800
As though it was your job
To hold everything up
432
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,640
The sun, the sky
The hard part of the night"
433
00:25:38,390 --> 00:25:39,760
It's good.
434
00:25:41,060 --> 00:25:42,310
It's quite good.
435
00:25:43,220 --> 00:25:46,390
But, Beck, where's the rest?
You owe me 20 more pages.
436
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,150
[sighs] I've been, honestly,
working every day, and grading papers...
437
00:25:51,230 --> 00:25:53,126
If the schedule is too rigorous,
drop back to part-time.
438
00:25:53,150 --> 00:25:54,820
But then I won't qualify to TA.
439
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:57,450
I need the cash. The housing.
I'd lose my place.
440
00:25:57,530 --> 00:25:59,596
You'll figure it out.
You're smart, or you wouldn't be here.
441
00:25:59,620 --> 00:26:01,660
- Please, Professor Leahy...
- Paul.
442
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,000
Paul. I'll get you the pages
by the end of the week.
443
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,670
I can't go to part-time, okay?
444
00:26:12,460 --> 00:26:14,590
[sighs] I'm rooting for you.
445
00:26:15,210 --> 00:26:17,510
You just need to keep up.
446
00:26:17,590 --> 00:26:21,390
Happy to discuss further.
After class some evening.
447
00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:23,906
If we're gonna seriously discuss poetry,
it should be over a drink.
448
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:25,980
There's a little gastropub I love...
449
00:26:26,890 --> 00:26:28,770
I would love that, Paul. [chuckles]
450
00:26:28,850 --> 00:26:32,190
Just, uh, how would your wife feel
about you...
451
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:36,900
About me helping out an aspiring writer?
She's used to my generosity.
452
00:26:36,990 --> 00:26:38,150
[chuckles]
453
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:39,950
[Leahy] So, Thursday night, then?
454
00:26:41,820 --> 00:26:43,450
Thursday night it is.
455
00:26:43,530 --> 00:26:44,450
Excellent.
456
00:26:44,540 --> 00:26:48,830
And don't worry about the next few days.
Just go home and get caught up.
457
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,390
[Beck] Need to see you tonight.
458
00:27:04,810 --> 00:27:06,970
[Benji] Will if I can, babe.
Working late.
459
00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:10,310
P.S., I can still smell you on my fingers.
460
00:27:10,940 --> 00:27:14,230
[Joe] I learned two definitive things
by scouring your computer.
461
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,440
First, there are no recent pictures
of your dad because he's dead.
462
00:27:18,530 --> 00:27:21,280
He OD'd and you were the one
that found him.
463
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,240
You've started a few poems about that day,
but you never finished them.
464
00:27:25,330 --> 00:27:27,240
I'm so sorry, Beck.
465
00:27:27,330 --> 00:27:31,290
But none of this matters because of
my second and greatest discovery.
466
00:27:31,370 --> 00:27:34,670
11:06 a.m., an hour after
our encounter at the bookstore,
467
00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:38,460
amidst a group text on the merits
of vaginal detoxing, you wrote...
468
00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:42,680
[Beck] Wow. Just met a human male
who actually reads.
469
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,300
Alert the media.
470
00:27:44,390 --> 00:27:47,220
What if it's finally time for me
to date someone good for me?
471
00:27:47,770 --> 00:27:49,310
[Joe] Thank you for letting me know
472
00:27:49,390 --> 00:27:51,036
- I wasn't crazy after all.
- [door unlocks]
473
00:27:51,060 --> 00:27:51,890
[Joe] No!
474
00:27:51,980 --> 00:27:55,520
Yes, I remember what you said
when you sent money last.
475
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,280
Yes, I'm grateful.
476
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,950
[scoffs] I'm working constantly.
There's no place cheaper to live.
477
00:28:05,370 --> 00:28:10,120
I did.
He basically offered to sleep with me.
478
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,330
No, I can't report him.
That's not how it works.
479
00:28:12,420 --> 00:28:14,606
[Joe] I'm not worried.
I've seen enough romantic comedies
480
00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:17,250
to know guys like me
are always getting in jams like this.
481
00:28:17,340 --> 00:28:20,340
Not the school, the world.
That's not how the world works.
482
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,760
I know how much you helped me,
it's just... It's hard here, Mom.
483
00:28:27,890 --> 00:28:28,890
[sighs]
484
00:28:30,270 --> 00:28:32,440
Okay. I'll figure it out.
485
00:28:33,310 --> 00:28:34,600
All right. Love you, too.
486
00:28:35,150 --> 00:28:36,150
Bye, Mom.
487
00:28:39,110 --> 00:28:41,070
[crying]
488
00:28:47,410 --> 00:28:48,740
[Joe] It's okay, Beck.
489
00:28:54,170 --> 00:28:55,500
[cell phone ringing]
490
00:28:58,290 --> 00:28:59,420
Hi, Becks.
491
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:02,090
Hey, bitch, where you at? Come play!
492
00:29:02,170 --> 00:29:04,630
I can't. I just had the worst day.
493
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,736
- What happened?
- Aw. Beckalicious, whatever it is,
494
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:07,986
there's nothing that we can't fix, okay?
495
00:29:08,010 --> 00:29:09,930
Yes, us and copious amounts of alcohol.
496
00:29:10,010 --> 00:29:12,180
- [Peach] Oh, my God. There's a sale!
- [chuckles]
497
00:29:12,270 --> 00:29:13,730
[sighs]
498
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,350
- You guys love me?
- [Peach] Of course.
499
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,246
- [Lynn] Why would you even say that?
- [Beck] Okay, then.
500
00:29:18,270 --> 00:29:19,480
Meet me in Greenpoint.
501
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,490
Look, why don't you come here?
Okay? Come here.
502
00:29:22,570 --> 00:29:23,666
[Lynn] It's actually really fun
where we are.
503
00:29:23,690 --> 00:29:24,570
- No.
- [Lynn] I promise.
504
00:29:24,650 --> 00:29:25,530
[Peach] Yeah.
505
00:29:25,610 --> 00:29:27,820
There's something I need to do for myself.
506
00:29:27,910 --> 00:29:28,740
I'll text you on my way.
507
00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:29,830
See you soon.
508
00:29:29,910 --> 00:29:30,910
- Bye!
- Bye!
509
00:29:31,580 --> 00:29:33,200
[sighs] Fuck!
510
00:29:37,790 --> 00:29:39,710
[Joe] I guess we're going
to Greenpoint, Beck.

[woman singing and playing guitar]
512
00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:50,810
I never go to Greenpoint.
513
00:29:50,890 --> 00:29:52,770
But the things you do for love, right?
514
00:29:53,930 --> 00:29:56,770
[Beck] Hi. Um, okay, we're gonna get
a few more drinks.
515
00:29:56,850 --> 00:29:57,980
Hold on, one second.
516
00:29:58,770 --> 00:29:59,770

517
00:30:00,610 --> 00:30:01,860
[Peach] What is she thinking?
518
00:30:01,940 --> 00:30:05,240
Open mics are for models-slash-
singer-songwriters-slash-vegans.
519
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,240
These people don't want to hear
520
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,200
some wannabe read a poem
about the bleakness of life or whatever.
521
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,700
[Joe] Your friends are disloyal.
And that Peach is the worst.

00:30:16,460 --> 00:30:19,170
- [yells] Ooh.
- Another round of picklebacks.
524
00:30:19,250 --> 00:30:21,630
Beckish, do we think now's the night?
525
00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:23,170
Positive.
526
00:30:23,250 --> 00:30:25,460
All of my life lately
has been about surviving.
527
00:30:25,550 --> 00:30:28,760
I need to remind myself
why I came here in the first place.
528
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,840
- Yes.
- Yeah.
529
00:30:29,930 --> 00:30:31,576
- You go. So good.
- Who do you keep texting?
530
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,140
I invited Benji.
531
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:36,020
- Beck...
- What? He likes poetry.
532
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,850
- For sure.
- And he texted he was coming?
533
00:30:37,940 --> 00:30:43,110
He texted a row of smile emojis,
like, 45 minutes ago.
534
00:30:43,190 --> 00:30:45,570
Some guys are assholes,
and you just have to realize that.
535
00:30:45,650 --> 00:30:46,860

536
00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:49,820
You're the one who told me
to keep reminding you he's a bastard.
537

Not to sound like, you know,
whatever, but just...
547
00:31:13,510 --> 00:31:14,930
I'm a poet.
548

You're just so sad.

might be nice.

I'm sorry. I just can't.

It's obvious what you are.
You're blind with love.

And what you love, writing,
this city, your friends,

is they will never love you back.

00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,090
Oh, God.
677
00:38:42,750 --> 00:38:43,750
[Joe] Of course.
678
00:38:44,380 --> 00:38:45,800
- Benji.
- [Beck] Hi.
679
00:38:46,550 --> 00:38:50,800
Um, this is Joe.
He literally saved my life tonight.
680
00:38:50,890 --> 00:38:54,140
I... I fell on the tracks. It was crazy.
681
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:56,640
Babe, I told you
people are basically good.
682
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:58,810
It's a great job, bro.
683
00:38:58,890 --> 00:39:01,520
[Joe] "Bro." You waste of hair.
684
00:39:01,610 --> 00:39:04,150
Okay. Beck, it's freezing out here.
685
00:39:08,820 --> 00:39:13,450
- Wait. Maybe I can get your info...
- Yeah. Um...
686
00:39:17,540 --> 00:39:18,750
Shit!
687
00:39:19,620 --> 00:39:21,500
My phone!
688
00:39:22,380 --> 00:39:24,800
- I must've dropped it in the subway.
- Oh.
689
00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:29,260
Uh, okay, well.
Just maybe give me your number,
690
00:39:29,340 --> 00:39:30,840
for when you get a replacement.
691
00:39:30,930 --> 00:39:33,350
I'm basically enslaved to e-mail.
692
00:39:33,970 --> 00:39:37,310
[Joe] I get it. Smart. I'm practically
a stranger. Can't be too careful.
693
00:39:37,390 --> 00:39:38,600
Okay.
694
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,600
It's BecklnRealLife@gmail.com
695
00:39:41,690 --> 00:39:43,860
- [typing]
- All right.
696
00:39:45,820 --> 00:39:47,400
"Beck in real life."
697
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,110
Thank you.
698
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:54,506
[Joe] Here's what I learned this week.
699
00:39:54,530 --> 00:39:55,556
[Benji] Sorry I didn't make it, you know?
700
00:39:55,580 --> 00:39:59,160
[Joe] You are special. You're talented.
You're passionate.
701
00:40:00,410 --> 00:40:01,540
You're smart.
702
00:40:04,580 --> 00:40:08,590
Except in the ways you are really not.
Like not locking your phone.
703
00:40:08,670 --> 00:40:12,590
And falling for men like Benji.
You know better, but you can't stop.
704
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,850
Because, well,
because everyone needs someone.
705
00:40:15,930 --> 00:40:18,100
What you really need
is someone to save you.
706
00:40:18,180 --> 00:40:21,440
I can help, Beck.
Let me help you.
707
00:40:27,770 --> 00:40:28,780
[Paco] Joe.
708
00:40:31,490 --> 00:40:32,950
Pac. Hey.
709
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:34,750
What's going on?
What're you doing out here?
710
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,160
It's Ron.
711
00:40:37,530 --> 00:40:39,120
He came home drunk.
712
00:40:40,250 --> 00:40:41,410
He started yelling.
713
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:43,620
Saying I thought I was smart,
714
00:40:43,710 --> 00:40:46,210
reading my books
and looking at him like he's dumb.
715
00:40:46,290 --> 00:40:49,090
What happened? Did he hurt you?
716
00:40:49,710 --> 00:40:51,340
No, he didn't touch me.
717
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:02,810
I tried to stop him...
718
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,230
- I'm sorry.
- Paco.
719
00:41:06,190 --> 00:41:09,650
Paco, it's okay. Really. It's okay.
720
00:41:09,730 --> 00:41:12,610
You know what? Come with me.
We can fix this together. All right?
721
00:41:18,780 --> 00:41:20,300
So, the first step to fixing something
722
00:41:20,330 --> 00:41:24,920
is to know no matter how destroyed
it seems, it can always be saved.
723
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:29,750
Books are no exception. You got it?
724
00:41:30,340 --> 00:41:31,170
Got it.
725
00:41:31,250 --> 00:41:35,130
So what we have here is a lying press.
Basically just a huge clamp.
726
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,340
Polyvinyl-acetate glue,
727
00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:41,430
means no acid to burn the pages.
Got your needle, thread,
728
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,520
and finally, right out of Bugs Bunny...
729
00:41:45,890 --> 00:41:46,890
a trusty mallet.
730
00:41:48,770 --> 00:41:49,770
You see this?
731
00:41:52,860 --> 00:41:54,110
We don't need this.
732
00:41:58,030 --> 00:41:59,910
[Benji] Johno! Listen to this.
733
00:41:59,990 --> 00:42:02,240
"Dear Benji, heard about your soda.
734
00:42:02,330 --> 00:42:04,730
Am interested in including you
on my fall list of must-tries.
735
00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:08,040
Would love to discuss.
Perhaps even try some? Jeff Pevensey."
736
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,396
That's the dude you're always retweeting?
737
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:11,670
It's the culture guy
from New York magazine.
738
00:42:13,590 --> 00:42:15,260
Hit him back, bro.
739
00:42:15,340 --> 00:42:18,220
No shit. Back off while I think.
740
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,760
Jeff, comma, so nice to hear
from you, bud, period.
741
00:42:22,850 --> 00:42:25,180
Yeah, our sodas are legit, period.
742
00:42:25,270 --> 00:42:28,440
I would love to meet up
to have you try the goods, period.
743
00:42:29,150 --> 00:42:30,440
Let's set something up.
744
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,990
Scrape carefully along the spine.
745
00:42:38,070 --> 00:42:40,280
Of course,
you've got to watch your fingers.
746
00:42:42,530 --> 00:42:43,740
[cell phone vibrates]
747
00:42:46,450 --> 00:42:50,040
"Sounds great. I can call between meetings
to see if you're available."
748
00:42:50,130 --> 00:42:52,750
This is gonna take us next level.
749
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,200
What time do you think we'll meet?
750
00:42:56,300 --> 00:42:58,630
No offense, we discussed this.
751
00:42:58,720 --> 00:43:02,050
It's best if the product has
one clear face at the beginning.
752
00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:03,930
That's just more me.
753
00:43:06,850 --> 00:43:08,560
[Joe] Okay, the spine is sewn.
754
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,940
So you take this,
pull it as tight as you can, that way.
755
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,820
Yeah. That's it.
756
00:43:23,030 --> 00:43:24,030
Jeff!
757
00:43:24,450 --> 00:43:27,000
The glue is set. We've applied the binder.
758
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:28,080
Now...
759
00:43:30,670 --> 00:43:34,670
you gotta be precise,
and use exactly the force needed.
760
00:43:47,020 --> 00:43:48,020
Hey!
761
00:43:48,100 --> 00:43:50,980
Hey, man. Jeff. Nice to meet you, man.
762
00:43:51,060 --> 00:43:53,360
Nice to meet you, too.
Have you been here before?
763
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,570
It's a...
Not a lot of people know about it yet.
764
00:43:55,650 --> 00:43:59,400
It's an incredible after-hours.
Very exclusive.
765
00:44:00,530 --> 00:44:02,090
Yeah, I've been here a couple of times.
766
00:44:02,910 --> 00:44:03,910
- Yeah?
- Hmm.
767
00:44:04,370 --> 00:44:05,950
Oh. Well, good.
768
00:44:07,370 --> 00:44:09,370
So you'll feel right at home, then.
769
00:44:16,420 --> 00:44:18,090
Please, after you.
770
00:44:19,130 --> 00:44:20,130
All right.
771
00:44:25,180 --> 00:44:27,930
It's just down. To the left.
772
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:44,070
Hey, man, I'm thinking maybe...
773
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:09,390
[Joe] It's 2:00 p.m. when the door chimes,
and I'm ready.
774
00:45:12,230 --> 00:45:15,940
You told your girlfriends you'd come by.
I know this because I have your phone.
775
00:45:16,020 --> 00:45:17,480
- I'll be back.
- [Joe] Okay.
776
00:45:18,060 --> 00:45:19,320
Hey.
777
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:24,030
Remember me? From almost dying
on the train tracks? [chuckles]
778
00:45:24,110 --> 00:45:27,240
Uh, it rings a bell. Hang on. Hang on.
779
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,240
I wanted to say thank you.
780
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:31,160
No. You already did that.
781
00:45:31,830 --> 00:45:33,750
Well, uh, thanks again. [chuckles]
782
00:45:34,870 --> 00:45:38,000
And I'm sorry for, uh, running off
the other night.
783
00:45:39,420 --> 00:45:41,340
- You had a guest.
- Hardly.
784
00:45:43,380 --> 00:45:46,130
So, I got you a present.
785
00:45:46,220 --> 00:45:47,736
No, please.
You don't have to get me anything.
786
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,180
Shut up and just look at it.
787
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,020
"Engine, engine number nine
On the New York transit line
788
00:45:58,100 --> 00:46:01,690
If your girl falls on the track
Pick her up, pick her up, pick her up"
789
00:46:01,770 --> 00:46:04,280
[Joe] We already have in-jokes.
790
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:05,570
So...
791
00:46:07,610 --> 00:46:10,160
anyway, that. And I better...
792
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:15,160
Maybe if you're not too busy,
we could get a drink sometime?
793
00:46:16,210 --> 00:46:17,250
Sure.
794
00:46:18,210 --> 00:46:20,290
Ugh. But I still can't find my phone.
795
00:46:20,380 --> 00:46:22,420
I know. E-mail.
796
00:46:23,460 --> 00:46:24,630
That's right.
797
00:46:28,510 --> 00:46:29,510
See ya, Joe.
798
00:46:30,090 --> 00:46:32,100
See you soon, Beck.
799
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,020
Well played, sir.
800
00:46:42,690 --> 00:46:44,110
Well played.
801
00:46:45,780 --> 00:46:48,530
[Joe] I'm not always right. I'm human.
I make mistakes.
802
00:46:48,610 --> 00:46:49,860
You'll see.
803
00:46:49,950 --> 00:46:51,780
I have to check on a shipment downstairs.
804
00:46:51,870 --> 00:46:54,200
- Can you watch the register?
- Yeah.
805
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,330
[Joe] Hell, maybe
I'm just a fool in love...
806
00:46:59,500 --> 00:47:01,210
but I'm right about you,
807
00:47:01,290 --> 00:47:04,340
and I'm going to help you get
the life you deserve, Beck.
808
00:47:04,420 --> 00:47:06,420
[Benji breathing heavily]
809
00:47:19,850 --> 00:47:20,850
Please.
810
00:47:21,810 --> 00:47:25,690
Whatever you think I did,
you got the wrong guy.
811
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:27,440
No.
812
00:47:29,110 --> 00:47:30,410
I don't.
