Chemical Cut (2016)
(soft electronic music)
- Hi, how are you? Hi, how are you? Welcome, welcome to Dog shop. Hello, how are you? Welcome. (wooshing) - What? - I still don't understand why ignorance is being pummeled in the face by that gnarly little angel. - You think ignorance is good? - I think it's a fact. I think everyone's ignorant. - This painting's about triumphing over ignorance, it's about being better than that. The angel is just trying to wake her up. The wake up call. Unfortunately, it's probably gonna take like, a million fucking years but, you know, some people need that. - I disagree with you, I'm gonna stop shitting on our childhood memory because-- - [Man] No but what do you think you should do? - I don't think this is productive, I don't wanna talk about it. - [Man] What do you think ignorance should do? You think she should stay crying and miserable? - Ignorance should just get out of this painting I guess 'cause-- - Get out of this painting, yeah that's helpful. If she got a fucking trumpet and grew some wings, she could fucking go up there. - I'm gonna go look over the abstract art, because we never visit that side of the museum, I'll meet you in 10 okay? - You won't feel anything. (dog barking in the distance) (yelling) (meowing) - Jasmine. (soft electronic music) (rustling) - The store looks like shit. - I just need a change. - A makeover's a good place to start, have you thought about blonde? - Blonde? - Virgin? - My hair? Yeah, my hair is virgin. - Okay, I can see it now. Today you and I are going all the way it's gonna be very exciting, platinum. (soft electronic music) (alarm beeping) (wooshing) - Oh hey, excuse me miss, I, are you a model? Well you should be, because you have a great look. (chuckling) - Scouted? - [Irene] Yeah I was scouted, by a modeling agent. - For what? - [Irene] Modeling. - That's so ridiculous, I hope you know what you're doing. I just don't want you to get exploited. Especially if you don't look very good. Well you look like someone who could be exploited. Keeping it real. - [Irene] Why? - What? - [Irene] Why do I look like someone who could get exploited? - 'cause you went out and got yourself a silly haircut. - [Irene] Seriously? - And you think that just because someone gives you their business card, you know, you're the next Tyra Banks or something. - At least I'll make more money. (electronic music) (soft electronic music) - New hair? - Yeah, do you like it? - I liked it better brown. Blonde washes you out. Hot date? - Wish me luck. - Good luck. - Hmm, hi there. - Hi. - Hi, I'm Jared. - I'm Irene. - You caught me right in the middle of lunch, mid danish here, so officially I'm not even here right now. Okay? But you're here, so we can do this. How tall are you? - 5'11. - Really? - Yeah. - Okay, what are your measurements? - 34, 24, 34. - Hmm, Eyeballing you, I'd probably add a few numbers to every number you just said to me, but that okay. Hmm, how old are you? - I'm 23, I just turned 23. - Hmm, honey, no, if we're gonna work together, we're gonna need to start from a foundation of honesty, I'm having a hard time believing you're 23 years old. - I'm really 23 years old. - Okay, I'm gonna choose to believe you, may I? The hair. Oh, so coarse. It's like horse hair. Like a little pony, little philly. That's a joke you can laugh. (laughing awkwardly) Okay. Hum, alright why don't you grab your stuff, come back to my office, we'll talk this over. The New Faces division is where we prepare all our girls to become successful models, and we take 20% for all print and runway work. A girl can't test enough, so I'm gonna expect you to test regularly. And you'll be responsible for covering that, runs 350 to 550 per test. - And what I actually get paid, how does that work? - You'll be paid within 90 days of working. - Per job? - Hey, look, the first year is all about building a strong portfolio, if you make money, fantastic, but don't expect it. Oh by the way, do you wanna work for us? (laughing) That was a joke as well. It's important to look your age, all this heavy makeup, makes you look so old, we're gonna need to monitor what goes into your body, alright? That means lots of water, seven to eight hours of sleep every night, limit your sugar and salt intake, exercise. - [Irene] I will take care of all of that. - Good, aren't you excited? You look scared! - I am, excited. - You know, it's a good thing we signed you in right there, another year and we couldn't have, I mean, you would've aged out. (knocking) - Hi mom. - Hi, oh! - Oh my god it's the same color as mine almost. Makes you look kinda wise. What the hell are you celebrating? - I signed with a modeling agency today. - Really? - Yeah. - Well that's exciting. - So you're not at the shop? - No, I'm not working at the shop, well I'm working part time, I can only work on weekends now, but I called Rachel and she's fine with it. - That's not good though, that's freelance, you're not gonna make enough money to pay your college loans, pay rent. - Um, well I have savings. Dad, I mean modeling is an investment, it's like opening your own business. - Don't get down on this, David and I mean, it's risky sure, but I think it's a good idea you try something new. Anyway, she's old enough to make her own decisions. It's her life. - But it's our champagne. And I think she shouldn't open the bottle until we have something really to celebrate. - Oh, that's true. When we do it's our anniversary champagne, put it back. - Sorry. - Are you gonna stay for lunch? - Um no, I don't think so, I just popped in to tell you the good news. - That was your news? - That was the news, yeah. - Are you available tomorrow for a last minute catalog shoot downtown? Okay good it'll be a free test, call time's gonna be 8:30 a.m. And Angel is gonna want easy casual poses think Bloomingdale meets Shopbop, cataloguish but not too generic, keep it still, you know, fresh and flirty, bring a nude bra with straps, a straddle snoot bra, new underwear, basically everything new, ripped denim shorts, white shorts, any other color shorts. And white skinny jeans and a denim skirt. Something fresh light easy fun, you wanna look sexy but you don't wanna look like a whore. You know, just look through your stuff, see what you got, okay, just make sure it's laundered please, 'cause some of these girls, I get horror stories that come back from the client we don't want that. - Hey your boyfriend is juicing right? - Yeah he is, but he's doing solids too. - What kind of juicer is he using? - It's something like the omega blaster 3000-- - Ah, yeah. - Yeah, it's got this like huge hover thing and I'm just using it to make cashew milk. - Okay, yeah, the Omega is amazing but I feel so guilty throwing away all that pulp, you know. - Listen, I'll tell you a secret, you can get a dehydrator , you can compact all that pulp and make these lovely crispy yummy crackers. - Oh my gosh. - I'm ready to work, you're ready? - [Irene] Yeah, I'm not leaving till we get a great shot. - Wonderful, well we are not reinventing the wheel here so hopefully we're all done by three, okay?

Turn your head a little bit towards me when you do that, there you go, night three quarter shot, okay, turn. - Susan how are you? - I'm good, I'm doing well, I'm really busy but, you know that's great so yeah, how about you? - Yeah it's really crazy, I just came back from Arizona and I had no idea how it looks like New York and LA have sucked up all of the creative people out of the country, it's like all the creatives, all the artists all the pretty people, they've all moved from other parts of the country to LA and New York, and nobody else exists. - That's true like totally. - [Makeup Artist] Like my family's back in the Midwest, and they just think I'm crazy going out in LA doing makeup, but I mean, they're all in the medical industry, you know, doctors, scientists, so, yeah it's a whole other world out here. Do you do a lot of beauty? I'd really wanna do a beauty shoot for my portfolio. - [Susan] Uh, I could be down with that. - [Makeup Artist] Okay, okay yeah, I just, I really need a model with a good strong face. - [Man] Ed Haunts. (laughing) - [Susan] Totally. (waves wooshing) - I had my first shoot yesterday. - Really? How'd it go? - They didn't really care about the picture they talked about themselves, that's it. - Yeah, big fucking surprise, they don't care about being creative, so I don't get why you're getting involved with them. - I have reasons. - Like what? You're not getting paid, you're not gonna get any respect like ever, and you'll never be young enough, so you, you're bored. - No, I like image making. - You didn't get cool images, you look like shit. Why are you modeling, really? - It's complicated. - I'm sure it is, yeah. Oh Arthur, I've been an ugly duckling my whole life just let me be a swan this one time, please, please. - My next job will be better. In a year I'll be unsignable so I'll just do this now. - Why are you running away? (laughing) (waves wooshing) Yeah, drown for all I care. You're so annoying. Oh my God. I get it, I get it. You can come out now. - [Man on P.A.] Doors are closing. - You know, what do you wanna say fuck you when you got nothing left. Nobody wants to fuck me now. I'm a Vietnam Vet. Probably did more than five years and the rest you motherfuckers all day long. Nobody wants to fuck you when you got nothing left. Why can't people come together? Get rid of the grub, get rid of it. Now I don't wanna tell you how to live your life, who am I to tell anybody how to live their life. I'm just telling what I know. My son, said he's been with a boy. When I ask him why he go ahead, he said I just wanted to see what it was like with a boy. When my wife and I were together, we made babies all day long. I just, it cost less to keep her. Less to keep her. (man talking over P.A) My stop. (Skype notification resonating) - It's 3 a.m. is something wrong? - Nothing is wrong Irene, what I need you to do, okay, is open your email and there's a Word doc in there, so open the Word doc, okay, you know how to do that, right? Read what I sent you and just, there might be one or two typos okay, that's all, you know it's like, the devil's in the details, please, save me the groundwork, and send it back to me it'll be perfect. - Can you, can you give me a day or two? - No, open your eyes, open your emails. - Okay, I'll do it right now. - Come on, yes, come on please. - [Arthur] He is stead fast, resolute, and utterly silent he feels the cannon stead fastly, resolutely, silently, as water he is accustomed to pounding against ocean side cliffs making them crumble to the ground. All the while he is indifferent. (phone buzzing) (exhaling) - I booked you for a free test today at 10 a.m. Foundation applied, mascara, eyelashes if you have 'em, nude manicure, buffed pedicure, bikini ready, nude strapless bra, nude regular bra, and simple black pumps. - Why don't you just start by bending over? Yeah, yeah, turn around and ben over. It's not as naughty as I thought, turn back around? Okay, okay. Okay, do something different, something different. That's better, that's better. That's creative, very nice, very creative, good. If you're okay I'll just shoot this just for fun. Open you mouth really wide, now shut your eyes. Shut your fucking eyes. Now hang your head. Perfect, you know what I mean, modeling it's about taking something in your life, something from your life. You understand what I'm saying when I say life? Okay, you understand, and then, you bring it into your work, do you know what I mean when I say work?

Alright, I didn't wanna do this, let's just try something a little more conventional, just be an innocent but dirty little girl. Innocent but dirty. - They're not using those, they're too artsy, it was a nine hour shoot, three hour roundtrip, free work no food. - You can quit. - I'm not gonna quit, I just started. - I don't know hun, I don't know what to tell you, I don't know what they're looking for, but if you're getting stressed out, I think you should exercise more. You could try yoga that'd be really good for you. (soft music) - Do you have a valentine? You need to start thinking about someone other than yourself, do you have love? Love is the most important thing. (exhaling) - [Arthur] Irene, this is my fucking novel, right, yeah so I didn't ask you to rewrite the whole fucking thing okay, you cut everything that makes it wonderful the sensuality the light the atmosphere, they're fucking gone so please don't give me that kind of revision again, alright, I know you want good things to happen for me, so, just, don't be retarded, thank you. - Oh hello, today we're having a trunk show, it's for the house of Damiana, so if you have any questions let me know. - I'm supposed to be here to model the handbags, do you have any idea what kind of girl they like? - Pretty. - This piece as well and I think it's gonna look great together. - Okay, why not, let's try this one too. - Yeah, let's try this one yeah. - And, yeah, I'm sorry, excuse me. Okay perfect, so the total is gonna be-- - The manager will tell you how she wants you to hold the bag, so listen to her carefully, follow her directions, don't ask too many questions, don't talk too much. Don't get in the way of the product. Mean this stunt is pretty self explanatory Irene, you're a live model. People wanna see what's available. Make people wanna buy things. Who's your target demographic? Well the older ladies, let those old ladies see those bags hold the bag in such a way that it's really showcased it's really featured, don't slouch, don't be lazy, don't just throw the bag over your shoulder. Twirl, strut, pose. And I don't care if your feet bleed, I want you to take laps around that mall 'till you've sold some bags. You might need to elbow your way through all those crowds of people, do what you gotta do, show off the bag. This line of work can be very lucrative, if you do well, I can book you more work like this, and you can start making, you know, real money. You're a pretty girl. Let that work for you. Don't talk too much. What the fuck were you thinking? You carried the bag on your shoulder? How many hours did you work? - Three. - Did she ask you to stay longer? - No. - Did she ask you to come again next week? - She did not. - Were you even friendly and personable? Did you ask for information on the merchandise? No of course you didn't. Do you need to be spoonfed? Does baby need her baba? - I'm paid to follow directions, well that was the problem, they wouldn't give me any and I didn't know what to do. Yeah, hmm, I get paid within 90 days. Yeah, I'm budgeting, dad, I don't have a car, I don't have insurance, I don't spend any money. I cannot, dad? Hello, dad? - So your boyfriend was and actual pimp. - I told you that, this one night that I know of. - Is it like the rap songs say or is it prettier? (mumbling) - Excuse me, excuse me, do you have any clothes here that aren't a size zero? Are you even listening to me? - No, her dog peed. - What's so fucking funny? You're gonna clean it. How's it going over there Irene? - Fine. - Smells bad. - Katy still smells the piss. - Irene, you will be shooting a video for an art academy tomorrow morning. Okay? So be clean and have well groomed hands and nails. Be on time, fill out a voucher. You've been a lot of trouble Irene, so please, don't be a bigger headache than you've been. (cat purring) (alternative electronic music) - So this is gonna get really really hot right? - Yeah, hot dripping wax, it'll, it'll, it should be fine. - Omar, can you ask the model if she's ever been burned before? - No I think Irene's fine with burns. - You think she's fine? - Yeah. - You think she's fine, cause you know we have no liability, we have 40 minutes left to do this scene. - No, Irene knew what she was getting into. - When the wax starts melting, I don't want her to move, not at all, not a muscle, okay? Will you tell the model that? And tell Ria that, or the girl, you know. - Yeah okay. Irene so you're not gonna move, once the wax starts melting okay, I know it's gonna burn, but just don't. - Are we ready Trevor? Tick tock, Omar? Off the set please. - Melt please. Omar, Omar, will you tell, can you tell her to bring that thing in closer? Bring that thing in closer so it's gonna melt it. Bring it right up to her skin. I need to see it melt Omar, I need to see it melt, come on melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, melt. Melt, melt, melt, melt, melt, come on, melt. (dripping) (dramatic electronic music) (knocking) (banging) - Don't you want them? I got them for you. Here. Do you like the flowers? - Put them In a vase. - They smell really good you wanna smell them? That's a really big vase. So I thought we could move the arrow tonight and catch that short film festival, what do you think. - Oh, the one that I'm dying to go to? Yeah, I'll do that. - I'll pay for everything okay, I just wanna make up, I hate it when we don't talk. - Get the burner! Go! Do it now! Stop waiting! Go do it now! Oh my god! - It's off. - Okay.

Get your fucking hands off me you nobody you fucking loser. - You're the fucking nobody. - Get out of my space bitch. You don't deserve me, get the fuck off of yourself. - Imagine you're wearing a pair of shoes, kick them off, and we're gonna put on a brand new pair of shoes, they're heavy they're dirty, they're dark, these shoes are called pain, lace them up. Every horrible thing that you've been through, heartbreak, deceit, cheating, lies, people that call themselves your friends. We all have this, we all have BS. Honor it, sink into it.

(cracking) - Wait. Wait. (speaking in a foreign language) - What? - I can't eat this. - I don't know that language. - I can't eat this. - Well I found eggs. - Those are not eggs. - They're egg whites they're just the same. They're better for you. - That's snot. - It's not snot. (laughing) - Whats so funny. - That show, remember when you-- - No. This is not cool. - Well I don't feel very good. - Why don't you feel very good? - 'Cause I ate like nine cupcakes 'cause they were fucking delicious. - You wanna look like a fucking hippo? - No I don't wanna look like a hippo. - Why would you eat nine cupcakes honey, when you have a salad in front of you why wouldn't you eat salad? - Because cupcakes are better. - Well why would they be better, this is much better for you. - Okay, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. - Enjoy. - Thanks, don't listen. (speaking in a foreign language) I don't know what that language means I don't know that language, speak english, I'm sorry for being rude but please speak english we're in America. - I said close the fucking door so I won't hear you. Thank you. (screaming) (crying) (water running) - Are you okay? - Yah, I'm great, why? - I don't know how to say this but, I heard some really weird things last night. - What? - Well, there was some screaming, you and Hartley were screaming. Did he hurt you? - No, no no no, that was his audition tape, he was doing a rape scene and wanted feedback. - You don't have to, you know, stick up for him, make up excuses for him. - Why would I stick up for him? - I dunno just saying you can talk to me. - No he's so sweet. Did I tell you about our first date? He took me to get red velvet cupcakes, which are my favorite kind, and I ate like five of them, and then he was like do you want to come back to my place, there's this poem that I really wanna read you. - [Irene] Oh sure, a poem, you fell for that? - I didn't fall for anything he wanted to take me back to read me a poem and then he did and it was a really good like deep inspirational poem and like I cried, we both cried. And then he got really hard, you know, and then he took his pants off, and then he pulled his dick out and he was like would you please just suck it. - Oh my God. - Yeah, but it was like sweet, it wasn't like creepy at all 'cause he said it in such a nice way. It was like so gentle, and so I was doing it, and it was dark, and he was really into it but I have a really intense gag reflex so I threw up all over his dick. (laughing) - Oh shit. - Yeah. - Really? - And I was like Oh my god I'm so sorry I just puked all over your dick and he was like it's not even a thing, and the he just like, we just cuddled, and he like read me poetry all night, you know, and like last night, I swear to God we had sex three times and he was just thinking about his ex the entire time. - How do you know? - I could just tell I could like see it in his eyes, you know there's like a psychic thing, you know, because we're so connected. I'm sorry I'm just like stressed out, do you think I should call him? - No, don't call him, you know. - Just why hasn't he called me yet? - Leave it alone okay! Give ut a week. - That's the last pair in this size actually, I'm surprised you got them I thought we were sold out. - It's actually kind of a size too small but they're so cute. - Yeah they're gonna took really good on you.

Yeah so I'm gonna need the house to myself tonight, I have to throw up in private, I can't get it all out when there's just like people around listening, no offense, I love you but like, I just-- - I wasn't listening. That's what you think I did? I mean I'm sorry you think that. - I don't know if you were listening it doesn't matter I just like for my own health and well being it's better for my mind if I can do it in private. Hey? - Hey. - You should leave your stuff. You're coming back tomorrow. - Oh. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You're right. Yeah. - I'm glad we met. - Me too. - You're like the best friend I never had. - Me too. - Really? - Yeah! - Really? - Hmm-Hmm. - (exhaling) Okay. - What's going on? - Sorry, I don't know, I'm just like weirdly emotional. (sniffling) Things that are bad are equally good. Try to look at the bright side of things. - Why are you quoting Dr. Seuss? - I don't know, it just came into my head. Sometimes quotes just come into my head. I love you. - I love you too, what's-- - I'll just miss you. - Am I gonna see you soon? - Yeah totally. Like tomorrow. (chuckling) - Okay, alright, call me if you need anything. - I will. (dramatic music) (music intensifies) (breathing heavy) - Sit tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. (chuckling) (dramatic music) (buzzing) (laughing) Look at this puppy on top of a kitten. (laughing) Oh my God. I like the little ones the best, the little shitty ones that are just like. (pretends to bark) (phone buzzing) - What? - I think you have bed bugs. - Bed bugs? I definitely don't have bed bugs, you must've gotten them from someone else. Listen, I'm flying to New York next week, I'll FedEx you your stuff. - You don't have my mailing address, do you? I think I lost you, Spring, hello? - I don't have bed bugs, ugh, psycho. (grunting) (dramatic music) - Hi. - Hi Jarred Hi. Where is the address for the casting? - Hi! - Hi. Hi, I'm so sorry I'm late. - You should have called. You bring your heels? - I didn't. - You didn't bring your heels? - They're at the cleaner's. - Oh, at the dry cleaner's, fascinating, get in let's go, go. Straighten up straighten up. Stop, what is that shit on your face? - This is what I mean about cleaner's, I have a bed bug infestation. But don't worry. - Don't you worry. - They're gone. - Get off. - They spread in fabric but you're safe because I take precautions, I washed my outfit this morning. - Get out, quickly. - Yeah, it didn't. (coughing) It didn't go well. - You can't fucking afford to do this anymore, okay? The clients aren't gonna put up with it. Just fucking show up on time. Wear the fucking wardrobe they ask you to wear, and be the fucking girl they want you to be. - I don't, I don't think I can keep doing this. I'm sorry. - Don't be a fucking quitter, try harder. Fucking die, ugh, fuck! - Do you read the bible? I read the bible. - I'm an atheist. - That's okay, you can't not love the because you don't believe, then what kind of person are you? Last week, I was feeling suicidal, but then I went home and I prayed, I'm praying for you now. I used to be a cry baby. I used to cry, cry, cry, and then someone told me your soul is home. I couldn't believe in what I couldn't see. I believe in miracles. You are my miracle. (cat purring) - Sugar? - Yeah, thanks. Ah that's good. - Hmm. Thank you dad. - Bye. (soft dramatic music) - What, you don't like the drawing? Hey hey hey, Toni's start at $15 and I'm gonna haul a 15. Picture's already posted on Instagram and Facebook. Don't wait too long, it's a limited time offer for a week. - No thank you. - Oh, it wasn't the least bit interesting, it was idiotic. - Fair enough. - I mean you weren't just one of those dumb models, if you were we wouldn't be friends but, those photos were disgusting. Well not you necessarily, but the photos were fucking awful they were unbearable. I can't tell you how glad I am that you're done with that phase. It's so ugly. When you told me you got scouted, I was so suspicious that suddenly you wanted to be famous. - I just wanted good photos, I never wanted to be famous. - I've wanted to be famous. - Yes you have. - But no just famous for being famous, to be recognize for what I do, but, that doesn't interest me anymore. God I used to be obsessed with it but it's petty, it innate it's for people that need to get a life. China has changed everything. Wake up. - Stop. - Wake up Irene. - Stop! - Wake up! - Stop. - You're not famous. - I know. I know that. Arthur called my modeling pictures disgusting. - Don't worry about the pictures, you tried being who people wanted you to be and you learned to say no. It's good. It's normal. Arthur loves criticizing you. Now he's leaving, and I must say, I'm really glad about that. - Thanks for reminding me, he's the only interesting person I know. - He belittles you, and when you're with him you just lose all your confidence. Look forget about him, you're on different parts. Come on. (crickets chirping) There we go. - I've always wanted to look in here. - I use to have to like erase everything over and over again, and then one day I just said, you know what, why are you second guessing yourself when you have everything you could fucking need into yourself. And once I did that, once I gave into that, there was no fucking stopping me, on the last day of class, professor professor Wyatt says there's sentiment in your work. The unteachable magic fucking ingredient, and like I got it. - Wait, where's the sentiment, everywhere? - Oh yeah all the, that one. Yeah that one, that one. - I didn't that you even wanted to draw, this seems like it's really out of the blue. - I know I never gave myself a chance. - I'm sad that you're moving so far away, are you gonna miss me? - I need a cigarette Oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm getting out of here wooh! Hey you should come with me. - To China? - Yes. Yeah you would love it there you'll fucking love Beijing, and you can make, you can teach english there, and-- - But what about the language problem, I don't speak Chinese. - I could teach you all that. - You can, you'll teach me? - Yes. - I had no idea you wanted me to come with you. - Of course I want you to come with me. - Well in that case, I'll study mandarin for a year and just leave up. - Are you fucking serious? - I'm fucking serious. - Fucking serious? - I'm fucking serious. This is crazy. - It's so crazy but it's so right. - I feel good. - You feel good. - This feels good. - It feels right, right? - I feel you. - You feel me? - And I feel this. - You feel this? - And it feels right. - That's it, we're gonna live together, we're gonna make art, we're gonna be part of the community. I really didn't wanna leave you behind. - Me neither, but we'll have to convince my parents. - Well, yeah, I'll take care of that, I'll call them tonight, - You will? - Yes! - Go call them. - I'll call them tonight. I'll make 'em an offer they can't refuse. - Oh yeah? - Yeah I'm giving you the life they never could. - So? - So what darling? - What do you think about Arthur, China, everything? - Do you really need to ask me that? You know I am not happy. You're just following your friend like you've done since you were 10 years old. - You don't think I could benefit from moving to another country, learning a new language, immersing myself in a new culture. - Absolutely, you know that I'm all for that. But why not think of going to London, or Paris, Berlin. - It's too easy, everything's been done there. I want a fresh start. Arthur will help me - So it's the same? Oh, story, will you stop dragging Arthur Arthur Arthur, when will you finally get a mind of your own? He's feeling scared about this whole thing and of course he wants to take you along. Have a friend, have a buddy. Somebody to support him. I would like to see you follow what you need to do, and take the lead. - Can I come in? Can I come in? - Come in yes of course you can come in. You really don't have to knock. Hi. Sit. So? - Mom and I talked about Arthur today. She said that you weren't too excited about me moving off to China with him. - And that couldn't have been surprising to you. - No, I guess not. I thought about it, and I think communication is going to be a very difficult all of my life, wherever I go, whatever language I speak. - I mean don't understand in general, other people. - But I do wanna make something that speaks to others. - And what is that? - I don't know yet, I mean I haven't tried, but I do want them to understand me. I don't know. - So you want people to understand you and so you're moving to China? (laughing) Does that make sense? - No. - That's like really extreme. - Yeah, but. I wanna make something that's important to me. - That pleases you? - Yeah. - Yeah, that's like the place to start. You know, I mean that's what, that's what I do, I make art because it's the only thing that makes me happy. If I'm not painting or drawing I'm heartbroken, you know, and you know I'm sad most of the time because I don't painy, you know. - So you don't think I'll find something like that in China? - No. I don't. - Okay. - So my advice to you is to find another something else. Forget China. Did you want my advice? - I did. - Is that why you came in? - Yeah. - Okay, well there it is, now go, I have work to do. (speaking in a foreign language) (coughing) (laughing) Now imagine that everyday. Are you impressed? What's wrong with you? Irene? Why are you walking away? - I don't think I wanna live with you if I end up moving to China. - You don't have any other friends. - Neither do you. - Why are you being so mean? Irene don't, Irene, Irene, Irene! Irene! Irene! - That's it, good, now some here. Very good, just dump the rest there. - Just dump it? - Oh careful, hang on. - Okay. - Very good, thank you, good job. - Nothing is happening for me here, the gallery initiative is pointless, my supervisor is a young american cunt whose sole purpose in life is to yell at me all day, you get all the pollution, the lack of basic human courtesy, I need you here now, why haven't you left yet? - I'm not moving to China. I'm making a movie. - You're wasting time you're still in your fucking bubble your basically ancient. - I'm writing my script everyday and saving up with an office job. - Fine, do whatever you goddam want Irene, alright? - Yeah. - Fuck you anyway. What am I doing. I'm painting and writing in the language of just some fucking delton, I'm confused, I'm confused about everything. - Okay, so you don't wanna get into mafane in china anymore? (computer dinging) (typing) (cat meowing) (typing) - [Arthur] Irene I'm on TV here, watch me. (clapping) (speaking in a foreign language) I don't understand. - I'm sorry one second. - Can you throw this out for me? - Oh sure. I'm sorry if you wonder or have any you know, general inquiries then you can just email us at glass@glasscat.net. Hi Shawn, yeah it's actually Trace's but I'm gonna throw I away. - Can I borrow a blue pen? - A blue pen, I only have a black pen. - You need to have blue pens at your front dest, optiflow fine point, just take this one. - Hmm, you're welcome.
