- [Lindeman Voiceover] You want to hear a really dumb story?

Well, I saved up every penny I had, took out huge loans,

got two jobs so I could be a starving artist,

well, more specifically, so I could go to school

and maybe one day be a starving artist.

And I was at the finish line.

I was about to graduate when I realized

the persona I want to be, the person I'm trying to be,

I'm not sure anymore if it's the person I'm supposed to be.

Up until then, things were going pretty good,

you know, partly because I had all these issues,

nothing major, just regular life issues,

which was cool because, for me,

the work was always about dealing with those issues.

That's why when this happened, it screwed everything up.

- [Dr. Weinstein] Oh, no, no, no, what I mean to say is,

maybe we've worked through all of your issues.

- Well, no, I mean, that can't be right.

- This is an exciting time for you.

We turn the page to the beginning of a new chapter,

limitless possibilities waiting to unfold,

full of discovery-- - I want you to put me back

the way you found me.

- But we've already worked through all of your issues.

Wait, unless you're Jewish.

- I'm not.

- Lindeman sounds like a Jewish name.

- I know, everybody asks.

- 'Cause if you were Jewish--

- I'm not Jewish.

I'm Dutch, mostly.

- Well, congratulations, you're official done with therapy.

How does it feel?

- [Lindeman Voiceover] It felt like everything

I ever knew was irrelevant,

and I had to start over from scratch.

- Lindeman, your stone block came today.

It's massive. - Ooh, and beautiful.

We had them put it in your studio for you.

- Great.

- What's wrong, Lindeman?

- Nothing.

- I think Lindeman needs a hug.

- I don't need a hug.

- He wants a hug.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] That's Alec and Edie.

They think everything is art.

So, one day they're collaborating on a holiday theme mosaic,

and then next, they're making flowers out of duct tape.

- Please, don't.

Oh, man, come on.

- Hey.

- Oh, this is PK.

He wanted to hang out at a real art school for the day.

- So why'd he come here?

- Don't worry about him.

Lindeman's always like this.

- Actually, I'm not like this anymore.

- Is this the new you?

- Apparently.

- Well, does the new you want

to make plaster sculptures with us?

- No, he doesn't.

- Will the new you consider the possibility

that love is the most beautiful art in the world?

- And since art is everywhere, then love is everywhere.

It's in everything and everyone.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] They're pretty annoying.

- It's not in me.

- Now I need a hug.

- [Alec] Oh, come here.

- [PK] Hey.

I love your sculpture in the student center.

What are you gonna do next?

- That's the whole problem.

I have no idea.

I mean, if I were Zach,

I'd be trying to take down capitalism

one ridiculous performance piece at a time.

(loud crash)

Or if I were Margaret, I'd be making videos

about being 27-year-old divorced lesbian.

♪ You are ♪

- [PK] What would you do if you were her?

- I'd be the most beautiful girl in Minnesota.

♪ Easy girl to kiss ♪

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Lelle's a ceramic artist,

and everyone said she was nice, but for some reason,

I just could never get up the nerve to talk to her.

♪ I say girl ♪

- We wave some, but I've never actually said hi.

- You should.

- I might.

(record scratches)

The old me knew what to do.

I mean, the old me had a way of doing things,

you know, like lunch.

Like, everyday, the old me would go to the taco stand.

And everyday, the old me would eat that taco.

And everyday, after eating that taco,

the old me would do what he needed to do.

But then, it's like one day, poof, no more taco stand,

which means no more tacos, which means no more anything.

- I like tacos.

- Wait, who are you?

- I'm PK.

My mom and I moved into the apartment

downstairs from Alec and Edie.

- How old are you?

- Almost 18.

I'm supposed to be a senior,

but I got held back because we moved around a lot,

but I've been working on a couple of pieces of my own

and, well, I draw them in this book that I have.

Anyway, I was just wondering if maybe sometime

you could give me a couple pointers.

- Man, right now, I can't even help myself.

(inspirational music)

Holy crap.

TX 6?

Mind if I call you Tex?

- [Lindeman Voiceover] That's how they mark rocks

at the quarry.

So that's how Tex got his name.

Tex was my final project.

- I'm Lindeman.

Call me Lindeman.

I guess we're gonna be working together.

I had a couple ideas.

They kinda suck.

- Quarter-life crisis, coming in hot.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Fiona's a photographer,

which meant that she was even more pretentious

than the average art student.

- The end of graduate school in sight.

What's next?

What am I gonna do?

Where does little old me fit into this big, crazy world?

- Yeah, actually, that's not what's going on.

(glass crashes)

- [Fiona] What do you think it is?

- I don't know, apparently, I'm not suffering anymore.

- Says who?

- My shrink.

- Ooh, tough break.

That was kinda like your whole thing.

- I know, right?

And now, I have, like, no idea what I'm supposed to do.

- [Fiona] Just go outside!

You'll be depressed again in no time!

- I already thought of that!

It's no good. - Why not?!

- Because now I know I need it,

so every time I start to get, like, a little bit excited,

I kinda get depressed and end up feeling the same way.

- Oh, yeah, I see what you mean.

- And the most annoying part

is that I can't even afford therapy.

I just make him these stupid candlesticks,

and he sees me every couple weeks.

I never thought we'd work through everything.

- Relax, Lindeman.

I know it's your final project and everything,

but, really, it's just another piece.

- [Lindeman] No, it isn't, not to me.

- [Fiona] What do you mean?

- I don't really want to get into it,

but it just, it matters, right,

and I have no idea what to do.

- [Fiona] You just need to shake things up.

- What do you mean "shake things up"?

- Like, find a new perspective.

- [Lindeman] Like a new way

of looking at stuff? - Like a whole

new point of view.

- I need a new thing. - You need a new thing.

(bell rings) - And just like that,

I had a plan.

- Okay, if one were to look--

- Take Celeste, Celeste is into death.

- Hmm.

Death.

(spooky music)

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Celeste in the fashion program,

well, she was pretty much just into death.

- So when did you get interested in death?

- [Lindeman] Recently.

- Well, tonight, you're gonna be with people

who completely understand the intensity

of what you're going through.

- Is this absolutely necessary?

- Hey.

You want to know what it's really like

if they think you're an outsider?

They're either gonna be self-conscious

or put on some big act for you, neither of which are real.

But if you just blend in, nobody knows you're there,

you can see them with their guard down.

- And I get all this from eyeliner?

- [Celeste] We might have to do something about that shirt.

- Huh?

(Lindeman groans)

I'm okay. I got it.

I've just never used a cape before.

- [Celeste] Everyone, this is my friend.

- [Lindeman] Hey, man, what's up?

Lindeman.

- Nosferatu.

- This is Rain and that's Apnea.

- [Lindeman] Hey.

- Are we waiting for your cousin?

- Dante's gonna be late.

We should just get going.

- Apnea, would you like to start?

(coughing softly)

- This is called--

- [Lindeman Voiceover] So this is what they did,

sat around in graveyards and read bad poetry to each other.

I've never been so bored slash freaked out in my life.

(goat bleating)

- [Dante] I brought a goat.

- Where did you get that thing?

- On the internet.

- Why'd you bring it here for?

- Was gonna sacrifice it.

- No.

- So we talk about death and listen to music about death

and read poetry about death, also which sucks,

so when I suggest real, live, actual death,

everyone freaks out?

- He's right.

If we never do anything, then what's the difference

between us and a goddamn book club?

- I'm in a book club.

- Okay, nobody here is afraid of death.

- Um-- - Who's going to be the one

to walk this creature into the next life?

- Think the new guy should do it.

- I don't want to kill the goat.

- [Celeste] Okay, excuse me.

There is no life without death.

There's no day without night.

There's no beginning without an end.

- [Lindeman] Yeah, but that's a real goat.

- Lindeman will kill the goat.

- Awesome.

(goat bleating)

- Here.

Use this.

- All right, let's begin.

Rain, the music.

(gothic music) Nosferatu, the reading.

- Once upon a midnight dreary,

while I pondered, weak and weary,

over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,

while I nodded, nearly--

- [Lindeman Voiceover] I was gonna run away,

but I forgot I was wearing the cape.

(Lindeman groans)

- Oh, my god. (gravestone clattering)

(stereo crackling) - What the hell?

("MMMBop" by Hanson) - Oh, crap.

- Oh, god, turn that off.

(Lindeman grunts)

- [Celeste] What are you doing?

- This goat's coming with me.

- Give us the goat. - Back off, man!

You too, goat boy!

- Hey, that's my goat.

(goat bleating)

- Mark Rothko: sexist pig.

Jackson Pollock: filthy misogynist.

Piet Mondrian: subjectified women.

- What does subjectified mean?

- What does it mean to you?

- Uh, I don't know.

- True.

Very true.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Hagel's my advisor,

which meant this was the guy

I was supposed to be going to for advice.

- [Hagel] Well, thank you, class.

Good afternoon.

Lindeman, a word, please.

Please to tell me why I do not have your artist's statement.

(Lindeman sighs)

Okay, I will remind you.

Your artist's statement is your proposal for your Exit Show,

which you remember, this show, you need to graduate.

- I don't know what to do.

- You are blocked?

- Yes, I guess.

- In German, we have a saying,

(speaking in foreign language).

- I don't think-- - Very good.

- Okay, but what am I supposed to do if I can't work?

- Very good, Lindeman.

Very good.

Do you realize the entire Asian race

has almost no hair on their bodies?

- What's that?

- Thank you so much for your lecture today.

I really enjoyed it.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome. - Thank you very much,

Ms. Ling.

I knew she would like it.

- Yeah, about that, I don't really get how a guy

who basically paints squares can be sexist.

- I have no idea.

Lecture was verbatim from book on feminism.

- So why do you teach it, then?

- Chicks dig it.

I want your artist's statement by next week.

- Right.

(goat bleating)

- [Lindeman Voiceover] I guess the goat was handicapped

because she never walked.

And since they didn't make little goat wheelchairs,

I just carried her around everywhere.

(suspicious music)

- Psst.

Hear you're looking for a new thing.

- Hey, Zach. What's up?

- Don't turn around, man.

Just keep walking.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Zach's a performance artist

who's big on South American revolutionaries

and not eating meat.

- What's with the cloak and dagger routine?

- Just a precaution.

You looking or not?

- [Lindeman] Yeah.

- You know what's happening in the world?

(Lindeman sighs)

(goat bleating) - I guess I read the paper.

- Well, then I guess you read propaganda!

Open your eyes, man.

Everyday corporations force-feed you

a diet of misinformation and half-truths.

You want the truth?

- Maybe.

- The truth is kids recognize McDonald's and Nike logos

before they can read.

They see 8,000 murders on television

before they finish elementary school.

The truth, my friend,

they're not broadcasting the truth on the evening news.

- So what's on the evening news?

- Exactly.

I'm not gonna lie to you, it's war out there.

War can get pretty intense.

When you're in the trenches and the shit starts coming down,

all your training goes out the window

and all you've got is adrenaline and instinct.

- What...

What training?

- You know why you do it?

It's not for the glory or the medals or the parades,

although I like parades.

- So why do you do it?

- You do it for the little people.

So when the movement comes knocking on your door,

they're gonna ask you a question

and they're not gonna ask it twice:

Are you with us or against us?

- I'm with you.

- Welcome to the revolution. (siren wailing)

It's because I am a pimp!

I got a goddamn receipt.

You see this?

This says I own you, so from now on, what I say goes, son!

If I say, moonwalk, you say, for how far?

And if I say head spin, you say, for how long?!

Got it?!

Good!

Now that that's settled,

it's time for you to lose a few pounds.

I hate you.

(mariachi music)

- [Lindeman Voiceover] The happy sombrero was sorta like

my Mexican rally cap,

but it just wasn't the bottom of the ninth inning yet.

- It's so derivative, it's not even derivative anymore.

On the surface, it's this new interpretation

of some neo-Cubist classical pop somethingness,

but underneath, it's basically just this retro-abstract

expressionistic realist nothingness,

which kinda just gives the whole thing

a feeling of surreal pastiche.

- That, and it blows.

I mean, how is this even art?

It's just a big, stupid bowl.

(door clacks)

(door thuds)

- Well, perhaps we take a five-minute break

before we next critique Lelle's series of mugs.

- I mean, what did I say?

- Lelle, why don't you come make

meditative Oriental ink paintings with us?

- Yeah, they're on rice paper, and really Zen.

We've been doing them all night.

- Hi. - Okay.

Hi.

(Lelle whimpers) - Oh, come on.

- Oh, wait, I need help.

- Now is a bad time.

- Well, what am I supposed to do?

- Schedule an appointment during business hours.

- It's been two months, and I haven't done anything.

- Dammit, Lindeman.

I must go.

I have private tutoring session with Ling.

- Well, goddammit, Hagel.

You're supposed to be my adviser.

Give me some goddamn advice.

(Hagel sighs) In English.

- You go to this address, ask for Sumi.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Hagel had mentioned Sumi before.

She was some kinda Eastern mystic,

and spending time with her was supposed to be

this deeply religious experience.

- What you want?

- Um, Professor Hagel said that if--

- Oh, why didn't you say the professor sent you?

(ferret squeaking)

- No.

What would you even do with--

(ferret squeaking)

Right.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] That was horrible.

(typewriter clacking)

(goat bleating)

- You got him cheese enchiladas?

- What? He's a vegetarian.

- So, how's it going?

- Worse every day.

- Why don't you just relax and put on your lucky hat?

- Okay, it's not a lucky hat.

It's a happy sombrero.

And how could I possibly even think of putting it on

at a time like this?

- Sorry I asked.

- Look, um, I was just kinda wondering--

- No.

- You don't even know what-- - You want to try my thing.

- How did you know-- - I'm an intellectual.

To people like us, people like you are an open book.

- I can be people like us.

(laughs)

- I really don't think so.

- Okay, fine, if you had to put some sort of number

on this awesome intellect of yours, what would it be?

- Six. - On a scale from one to 10?

- On a scale from one to six.

- Why would a scale only go to six?

- Don't know.

- I can do the intellectual thing.

As a matter of fact, right now, this very conversation

is an intellectual speaking conversation.

- I don't think my people would agree.

- Why, why, why?!

What do I got to do, buy a blazer?

Learn the French?

What?

- All right, if I ask you the first question on the test,

and you get it wrong,

do you promise to drop the whole subject?

- Absolutely.

- You are the greatest scientist the world has ever known.

What single issue do you dedicate your life to?

Hello?

- Uh, flying cars!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, moving sidewalks.

Ooh, a really nice hat.

- World peace.

World hunger.

Time travel.

- Oh, yeah, those are good.

Are you working on a time machine?

- Lindeman, you don't have to be

an intellectual to be an artist.

All you have to do is shut the hell up

and just make something.

It's not like you forgot how.

- No, I still know how, I just don't know why.

- That's a problem.

- I promised myself that when I finish grad school,

when I turn in this final project,

that I would know then whether to keep at this

or to just walk away from the whole thing.

- So this is kinda gonna determine the rest of your life.

- Pretty much.

And I don't have a goddamn clue what to do.

(goat bleating)

- Why the long face?

- They don't know how lucky they are.

- What do you mean?

- I mean, look at Drew.

He grew up with racism, bigotry, prejudice.

And Shelly, Shelly's from the streets.

She's got drugs, guns, poverty.

And Lane, Lane's like a suicidal drug addict

with a disability.

It's like he hit the lottery.

- He's one lucky guy. (Lindeman sighs)

- Where are my hardships?

Why isn't anybody against me?

- Thought you were Jewish.

- I'm not. - 'Cause if you were Jewish--

- I'm Dutch.

Mostly.

- What if I could give you an introduction

to a very special group?

A group that's been laughed at

and marginalized and slandered and even murdered

since the beginning of time?

- Wait. You're from Canada?

- I'm talking about being gay.

- Oh.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] Margaret's a video installation

artist who, for some reason,

thinks of human sexuality as a sale.

- Wait, are you talking about me being gay?

- Just think of human sexuality as a scale

from completely straight to completely gay.

- But I don't want to be gay.

- Just try it.

- Nuh-uh. - Come on.

- Nope. - I dare you.

- Sorry.

- Lindeman, (sighs) the semester's almost half over,

and you have absolutely nothing.

So, you don't have to try it for me,

and you don't have to try it for you,

and you don't even have to try it for your country,

but you do have to try it for your work.

You owe it to your work.

- Would I have to be, like, super gay?

("Nighttiming" by Coconut Records)

I feel ridiculous!

- You look fantastic!

You need to relax!

- Okay.

- You like to party?

- Yeah, it's like a party!

Do you know I used to be big time?

Yes, the critics called me (speaks in foreign language).

You know this word?

- No. - I dressed like pig,

they treated me like king.

Money, respect, women.

The women would beg.

One day (speaking in foreign language),

the next, (speaks in foreign language).

I'll tell you some American expression:

No one would hire me with 10-meter pole.

So what could I do?

I became professor.

- Wow.

I just...

- Shh.

Confidentially, I am having nonacademic relations with Ling.

- Really?

- Yeah, it was good for short time,

but now, she thinks I am oldy-moldy.

- No. - Yes!

She says, over and over, "Oldy-moldy, oldy-moldy."

And, you know, words I can take,

but her discovery of hockey troubles me.

- Okay, what's wrong with hockey?

- Well, she claims they are friends,

but last night, I caught the goalie in my house, in my bed,

and he was teaching her about the five-hole.

(sighs)

- Okay, what did you do?

- I walk out and I slam the door so she knows how I feel.

- That's tough.

- What?

You think I went too far?

- Well-- - You're saying she came

to this country with nothing,

looking for a bit of compassion perhaps,

a touch of kindness and...

You're right, what have I given her?

Judgment.

- That's not what I said--

- Now I must beg forgiveness.

- No! Wait!

No, please, there's like a month left until the final show

and I haven't even done my artist's statement yet.

- Lindeman, forget the artist's statement.

No time left for words!

Now is time for action.

(gentle music)

- I'm sorry I called you a fat bitch.

It was out of line and immature.

I want to make this right.

(sighs)

(upbeat dance music)

What?

Okay.

Who's fat?

What? I am.

Who's a bitch?

What? That's me.

Who's the pimp?

That's you, that's you, that's you.

(footsteps pattering)

Help.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

- Well, you look pretty bad.

- But I could be worse.

You know what I mean?

I've gotta get worse.

- Are you sure you're not-- - Oh, ask me if I'm Jewish,

and I swear I'll smack you in the mouth.

- So then what can I do for you?

- I want you to insult me.

- Interesting.

You feel that if I reject

certain behavioral characteristics,

it would result in overwhelming feelings

of inadequacy and underachievement,

thereby reinvigorating your creativity

which thrives in such an environment.

- Whatever.

If you make me feel bad, then I might be able to work.

- Lindeman, that's masochism.

- Please.

- It's highly unorthodox and most likely unethical,

but what the heck.

- Oh! Thank you.

- Prepare to receive the requested verbal assault.

- Let her rip.

- At times, I find your commitment to hygiene

a bit too sporadic.

- What kind of crap is that?

- Excuse me?

- That's the worst insult I've ever heard!

- Well, then never mind.

- No, no, no, please, you can't leave me like this.

- Then please do not insult me

when I'm trying to insult you.

- Okay, it won't happen again.

- This time, I will not hold back.

- Please don't.

- Prepare to receive the wrath of Dr. Elmore Weinstein.

when I have found the craftsmanship of your candlesticks

to be underwhelming.

- [Lindeman Voiceover] I apologized later,

said I was the asshole.

He agreed.

- It makes minimalism look baroque.

- Some of the pedestals are pretty cool.

- I love pedestals.

- Let's do a pedestal series.

- Let's.

- But there's nothing there.

- That's not true.

It's emotionally infused space

three inches above the pedestal.

- What do you think, Lindeman?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Bye.

- Bye.

- How did that go?

- Better.

- It's completely worthless.

- It's beyond worthless.

- Everything sold in the first hour,

and the old guy commissioned another installment

for half a million dollars.

- Wish I'd thought of it.

- Me too.

- Hey.

Coming with us to Fiona's cabin?

- It's on the lake.

- The weather's supposed to be perfect.

- Come on, a bunch of us are going up for the weekend.

- Nope.

- Everyone's going.

Fiona, Zach.

- I'm sorry.

- Then it's like I spent all this time

but all I really figured out was all these things

that, you know, I'm not, all these things that aren't me.

- All tucked in.

- Thanks.

- No problem.

- I think I'm ready.

- Are you sure?

- It's time for my happy sombrero.

- Is your sombrero for when you're actually happy,

or when you're sad and you want to be happy?

- Well, at least you're suffering again.

You can just go back to that.

- Yes.

That's the thing about being an artist:

everyone has a chance.

Man, woman, child, living, dead.

Don't you understand?

You don't even have to be alive,

and you still get two chances at immortality.

you might be mistaken for a genius.

- Yeah, but that's just--

I mean, I know too many people who've read too many books.

It's too late for me.

But you have a chance of actually being happy.

- Because I'm dumb?

- Yes, but here's the beauty of it,

you will be so busy working and playing

and chasing shiny objects,

you won't even know that you're happy.

- Okay, but isn't, like, the best part about being happy

actually getting to feel happy?

- How do you mean?

- I mean, I'm not the expert,

but it's like if I'm happy and don't get to be happy,

then aren't I sort of unhappy?

- Actually, that's a good point.

- So what am I gonna do now?

- [Fiona] I have no idea.

- Oh, come on, like two seconds ago,

I was this happy moron chasing shiny stuff.

- That's life in the fast lane.

- I was in the fast lane?

- [Fiona] Goes by like in a blur, doesn't it?

- Sure does.
