London (2005)
Tell me when you're gonna come.
-Are you coming? You're coming?|-Yeah. Hello. Hey, bro, what's up? l'm crashed out. What are you doing? What party?|What are you talking about? Are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking kidding me? Where? Fuck! Fuck! The number you have reached has|been disconnected. If you feel you-- No fucking way! Where's the phone? Payphone. Straight to the back,|past the bathrooms, on the left. Hey, Mallory. Oh, hey, Syd, what's up? You gonna go|to Becca's thing tonight? Yeah, you know, l was gonna go|and say goodbye. Why, you going? Yeah, l think so.|Thinking about it. Yeah. So you still talk to London? Yeah, you know,|here and there. Why? Oh, you know, l was just a little|surprised to hear she was moving. Did she get a place out there?|ls she staying with somebody? She didn't tell you where|she was staying? Come on, Mal. l mean, she said something|about moving in with her boyfriend... ...or something, but, l mean,|that's pretty much all l know. -Can l get you a drink?|-Yeah. Can l have a vodka? A large one. Naked, please. Excuse me. One second here. Here you go. Thanks. Hey, look, l didn't--|l didn't mean to be rude. lt's okay. -Hey, Syd, l gotta go cash out, so....|-Yeah. -See you tonight.|-Yeah. Listen, l'm gonna get a bit of sniff,|so if you want some, just let me know. -Oh, really?|-Yeah. How much is it? Oh, no, don't worry. Just find me. Don't tell London.|You know she hates that shit. Yeah, like l'm gonna say something. -All right, well, see you later.|-Yeah, l'll see you. Your name wouldn't happen|to be Bateman, would it? -Unfortunately, yes.|-Hey. Syd. Nice to meet you.|Thank you for coming down. l know you don't deliver this far down.|l just had a shitty day. l have to clear my head out. No worries, mate. So where do you wanna do this? We don't want to go in the bathroom.|lt's horrendous in there. l drove. You wanna use my car? Your car? Why not? So how is this shit? lt's pretty good? Can't say l've sampled|any of this batch... ...but considering the source,|l imagine it to be pretty clean, yeah. So is this like a full-time gig for you?|A full-time job? No, mate, l'm a banker. Foreign exchange dealer.|Currency trader. -Currency trader?|-Euros, pounds, arbitrage, yeah. Okay, so you're not a dealer. Mate, l ain't a fucking dealer. Strictly a buyer. l was uptown, you were on my way.|lt's just a favor. Gotcha. Well, whatever it is,|l really appreciate it, man. Here we go. So a currency trader, huh? How's the money in that, good? Not if you get stuck on this shit, no. Yeah, l know.|God, what a stupid fucking drug. l don't know what you're doing after|this, if you got plans or anything... ...but a friend is having a party two|blocks from here, if you're interested. No, thanks, mate,|but l've had a shit day, believe me. l just figured, you know,|you came down this whole way. lt'll probably be pretty good. What kind of party is it, exactly? Actually, it's a.... lt's a going-away party for this girl,|for my ex-chick. But it'll be good, you know,|free booze, free food, hot chicks. l really shouldn't. Thanks anyway.|l appreciate the offer. Fuck it, Syd. l'm gonna go.|Take it easy. Why are you gonna go?|Don't go. You just got here. You walked all the way down here.|Why leave? Because l've had a horrendous day. l've decided not to go because l don't|want to meet a loft full of strangers. -You enjoy yourself.|-Come in for five minutes. -Get a drink.|-No, man. You go, fuck it. What do you got|that's better than this? Girls, free booze, do a line. l've just come out of the most|psychotic therapy session... ...l've had in fucking years.|Almost smacked some cunt for a taxi. l really don't know|if l'm ready for this shit. Just come in for five minutes.|You don't like it, you can leave. One fucking drink, bro. Mallory will be here. One drink? One fucking drink. -How you doing, man?|-Evening. -What is it, 501 1 ?|-Yes. Thanks, man. -Hey, Maya.|-Hi, Syd. -How you doing?|-Good. -lt's been a while.|-Yeah. How you doing? l'm good.|Bateman, this is Maya. Sorry. -Maya, Bateman.|-Nice to meet you. How you been?|What you been up to? ln hell, man. l fucked up on the SATs,|l gotta retake them. -That's it, you know?|-Right. Just wanna kill myself. Yeah. Well, you know, if you want to get out|of SAT mode, l picked up a lot of: -You know, so....|-Are you dealing now? Yes, l'm dealing. No, l'm not dealing.|l got more than l need, so if you're.... -All right, man, thanks.|-Just come find me. -l might take you up on that.|-Did anybody--? Coming. -Hello.|-Hello. -Hey, baby.|-How are you? -l'm good. Hey, Syd, how are you?|-This, my darling, is for you. Oh, you guys, shut up. Thank you. -You know you are the best.|-Nobody's here yet. Grab a drink.|Make yourself at home. Hello? Syd and London. -Don't disrespect them in public.|-ln public. Let's go upstairs. Why? Who's upstairs? Very bad. Catch me. You're crazy. What is this? lt's for you. -For me? For me?|-For you. Oh, my God, Syd, l love it. Thank you. l love you. l love you. Come on, ''l love you too, London,''|you fucker. You can say it.|l'm not gonna tell anybody. -London, don't.|-What? What am l doing? -This.|-What am l doing wrong? Whatever this is, this obsession|to put a verbal label on everything. -lt's not about words.|-No, it is about words. Because if we didn't have words,|we'd be living in caves... -...and still talking with our hands.|-Stop. We haven't even|come close to a fight. lf we can avoid that first fight,|by theory we'll never fight. Okay? Please. lt's been so perfect till now.|Don't do this. lt's been perfect for you. For you. London. Coming. Wait a minute,|someone's at the door. -Hello.|-Hi. Wow, you look beautiful. You look hot.|Nice hat, nice boots. Thanks. -Hey.|-Hey, Becca. -Rebecca.|-Bateman. Friend of Syd's. -Nice to meet you.|-Nobody's here yet, guys. So just come on in|and make yourself at home. Okay, so you're not gonna believe|who's just fucking shown up. Great party, mate. Oh, it'll be better. lt'll be better.|Trust me. l promise you. Okay, l've gotta go. Please tell me|you did not bring Syd here. Oh, my God, l just rode up|in the elevator with him. -Why? He's not invited?|-He's so not invited. He's fucking touching|my Buddha's head. Hey, London, it's me. Give me a call as soon|as you get this, okay? Okay, bye. Fuck it. Hey, Syd. Do us a favor, yeah?|Don't touch the Buddha. Okay? He's a fucking cocksucker. Where did you get your hat? lt's so cute on you. He's fucked. To show up at someone's party.|He isn't even fucking invited. Did they just go upstairs? Right. Nice. Nice of them to ask. Wait, l'm confused, did you say|you do believe in God or you don't? ''God'' might not be|the appropriate word for it, actually. lt's more of an epiphany. Epiphany?|What was your epiphany? Well, for me, an epiphany|is when you really see the universe... ...in all it's splendor and beauty... ...and you suddenly|understand everything. -What does that mean?|-Fucking everything. Everything you can imagine. You don't|know what ''everything'' means? l know what it means. l don't know|what you mean by ''everything.'' lt means everything, doesn't it?|You know, everything. -So, what's your problem?|-For someone who's seen the infinite... ...you're vague. You'd think|with someone who's had a revelation... -...you'd be more specific.|-lt's not about specifics. lt's an energy that hits you between|the eyes and you're enlightened. -You see everything?|-You don't see everything. You see nothing.|But you understand everything. And you know what|got me the most? -ls that l understood time horizons.|-What's a time horizon? lt's like this. l understood|where l stood in relation... ...to where the Romans and the Jews|were 2000 years ago... ...and why l was here now. Then l felt this enormous|compassion... ...for the struggle of the human race|and what it had to go through for us. You know, for life as we know it|to come to this point. lt's truly remarkable, but at the same|time, it's utterly fucking disturbing. l mean, we're the same people|that were living in Roman times... ...throwing boiling oil on each other|and crucifying Christians. Not that that's entirely a bad thing. Hey, Syd, are you in there?|lt's Maya. Oh, fuck! Fuck me. -Fuck, fuck. Give me one second.|-What the fuck have you done? -Sorry. Fuck.|-You clumsy bastard. -What have you fucking done?|-Shit. Look at that. lt's covered in fucking beer. -Fuck.|-Oh, my God. What are you gonna do? -Goddamn it, Syd.|-lnstant karma. -l got it.|-That's enough to give up blasphemy. -Get up here.|-No, we can totally save this. What are you gonna do,|eat food off the floor? -Fucking gross.|-Do me a favor. -God fucking damn it.|-God, is this it? -Yes.|-Are you kidding? -No, it's my fucking fault too.|-Just snort it off the floor. You don't wanna do that. l shouldn't|have put it by the fucking sink. What are you doing? -What's that?|-As l said, all is not lost. -Bateman, Jesus Christ.|-Oh, my God, you fucking rock. -Do you know this painting?|-No. lt's Van Gogh's|Wheatfield with Crows. The most significant painting|the man's ever painted. -Oh, well, then.|-Fuck, it's true. That'll do for starters, won't it? Look, this is the last painting|the man did before he killed himself. lt's his suicide note. He even put|his left ear in the fucking clouds. There is his mutilated left ear. Can you see it? Not everyone sees it,|of course, but there it is. He mutilated his left ear|and put it in the fucking painting. What does that mean? Maya, l'm curious.|Do you believe in God? You guys have been doing|too many drugs. Answer the question. Yes or no? God, that's a really long|conversation... ...but l will tell you something l read|the other day that freaked me out. l don't remember where it was. lt was like Russia or Germany|or one of these places... ...but these scientists,|they took this pregnant rabbit... ...and they hooked up to,|like, a heart monitor and an EE G... ...which sensors your brain waves. And, like, the second after she gives|birth, they take these babies... ...and they jump in a van|and they start shooting them... ...one by one in the back of the head|with, like, a .22 rifle. From, like one mile away: Five miles away:|Twenty miles away-- Don't tell me people are|killing little bunny rabbits. What's so interesting|is that every time they'd shoot... ...one of these poor babies|in the back of the head... ...the mother's heartbeat|and brain waves would go crazy. So l'm just saying there's,|you know, shit like that, and then-- The mother knew the babies|were getting shot-- Yes. Every fucking time. Exactly. l mean, there's all that stuff, you know,|like those weird identical twins, right? One of the brothers is|walking down the street... ...gets stabbed|by some serial killer. Wait. So he gets stabbed, right? And then 900 miles away,|at the exact same time... ...his twin brother falls down. Weird, it's very weird, yes. Do you want to let me finish|what l'm saying? -Please, please, finish.|-Okay, he falls down. Gets hospitalized|due to heart palpitations... ...at the same time|his brother was stabbed. -Why are you shaking your head?|-You sound like London. -lt's coincidence.|-How is it a coincidence? l've had this conversation before.|l'm not having it here. Well, then, let's not. Then don't|ask me about God, okay, Syd? Hey, is London here yet? No, l don't think so. Did you meet her boyfriend? Yeah, a couple of times. He's nice. ls he, like, an attractive guy?|ls he good-looking? Are you asking me|if he's an attractive guy? l guess. You guess?|What do you mean, you guess? l mean, l guess. All right, so l'm curious. Do you think|he's more or less attractive than me? Syd, l don't know. Well, you do know.|You just aren't telling me. l don't know, Syd. You guys just--|You have totally different looks. All right, yes.|We have very different looks. But whose do you like more?|His or mine? This is stupid, Syd. Okay, fine. l guess, on some level,|l find him attractive. That doesn't mean that l find him... ...any more or less attractive|than l find you. Okay? l won't lie to you.|Just because we're going out... ...doesn't mean l'm gonna,|you know... ...suddenly not be attracted|to the opposite sex. He's a friend|who happens to be attractive. lt was one lunch.|Why are you freaking out? You don't see me going to lunch|with a bunch of attractive people. Okay. First of all,|it was one guy, not a bunch. And it's really not my problem that|you don't have female friends, is it? Because no one's stopping you|from having female friends. l love this, by the way. -So for the sake of conversation....|-Syd. -Let's just pretend you and l...|-Please, can we just drop it? ...don't know each other.|Just listen to me. Let's pretend for five minutes|you don't know me, l don't know you. Me and what's-his-name|are in the room. -Who do you pick?|-l do know you, Syd. Remove that from the equation. -You can't.|-Gun to your head. Who do you pick? l would pick you.|l would pick you in any equation. Are you all right in there? Everything is fine. Thank you. Syd, literally, this has got to be one|of the most insane conversations... ...l've ever had with you. l don't want to fuck him. l don't. -Fuck him?|-lt was one lunch. Who said anything|about fucking him? -l didn't say fucking, l said attracted.|-That's what you meant. -lt's not.|-Please keep your voice down. l meant attracted, you said fuck. Can you just fucking|shut the fuck up? What do you want? l want you to answer|the fucking question. Syd, you're a cute guy. You are.|You really, really are, but l don't know. He has this angular, sexy,|Diesel-ad thing going on. But l don't even know him. -So maybe he's an asshole.|-You know what? Fuck you, Maya. lf you were my friend,|you would've lied. Syd. Syd, you are at|her going-away party. lf you don't calm down,|you'll drive me... ...and you, and everyone else,|and her at this fucking party crazy. Just say goodbye and let her go,|because she's gone. She's gone, man. Line, anyone? No. No, thank you.|But do you have a cigarette? l'm sorry. Light. l'm sorry. All right, all right, you know what?|l'm gonna go. -Are you leaving?|-Thank you. Thank you for everything. -Really.|-Listen, do me a favor. Don't tell London l'm doing blow|in here. That'll really screw me. You know, Syd, yeah,|you know, l'll try to remember that. Maya, l'm serious. Please? Hey, please tell me you're not doing|coke in my parents' bathroom. -What?|-l saw you go upstairs. -Where did you go?|-To the bathroom. Swear to God, you're not doing coke|in my parents' house. Oh, my God, l swear to God... ...l'm not doing coke|in your parents' house. Okay, l'm sorry, darling. All right.|Have a good time. l'm sorry. How long were you two together? Who? Me and London?|Two and a half years. -You split when?|-Six months and a few days ago. You're counting, Syd.|Not a good sign, mate. Why? Why do you say that? Joking.|l mean, what's the girl's name? -Maya. Can l have one of those?|-Maya. Maya. l'd do some terrible things to her. She's like an X-rated Barbie doll. -How old is she?|-l don't know, like 1 6, 1 7. Seventeen? -Now l really wanna fuck her.|-You'd fuck a 1 7-year-old? What, you wouldn't? lf it's not against the law,|what's the problem? You can fuck a 1 5-year-old|in France. Does that make them|all pedophiles? Right situation, right country,|you'd fuck one too, believe you me. Right, right. lnternational waters,|deserted island, shit can happen. But if any of my female friends|knew l fucked a 1 7-year-old... -...they'd lose it.|-What's the matter with you? lf we told women a tenth of|the things we think and do... ...do you think we'd ever get laid? -Like when l asked a girl to piss on me.|-To piss on you? Yes, mate, but l was on|a horrible amount of X at the time. Did she piss on you? Actually, no... ...she pissed in my mouth. She pissed in your mouth? lt was not a pleasant experience,|believe me. How the fuck does that happen? What is the conversation that leads to|a girl having to piss in your mouth? lt was a fucking mistress. -You paid an S & M chick?|-Many times. ''Many times.'' Listen, it's an expensive hobby,|both mentally and financially. So, what's the deal?|How does it work? l don't know if l want|to go there, you know? Come on, explain it. No one cares.|Did you get your shit wet? Me too. lt's my fucking Savile Row suit.|lt's fucking 5 G's. l've kept it out of the rain all day.|Look at the state of it. Look, l don't wanna go there.|All right, Syd? Come on. l'm not gonna tell. -Why the fuck do you wanna know?|-How does it work? -You just go over there?|-Look at you, you fucking dirtbag. -You brought it up.|-You wanna go there... ...you fucking go there. Leave my|fucking demons to myself, mate. -Where is it?|-Tribeca, you cunt. Explain it. How does it work?|You just walk over? Look, you phone from downstairs... ...and magically they let you in|through these enormous iron gates. You get all excited. You get all wrapped up.|You can't wait to get in there. The whole thought of it just|gets amongst your fucking veins. You're into it, you know? All of a sudden,|they give you a form. It's a five-page disclaimer|in fucking triplicate. And you're like, ''Hold on.|What is this? Paperwork? l've come here|to get my dick sucked. l didn't come here to sign forms.''|lt's hilarious. You don't pay them,|you give them a fucking donation. l mean, that is so American, isn't it?|Come on. And then they give you a list and|a little pencil, like in the sushi bar. You start checking off the|requirements. Whipping, spanking-- Come on, you fucking dirty|shit-cunt whore. Fucking whip me! --nipple clamps, coprophilia. -What's coprophilia?|-When they shit on you. Shit in your mouth. You can have it in the mouth|or you can have it over a glass table. Can you imagine? They fucking|wheel out a glass table and they just... ...shit all over it,|and you're just like: ''You dirty bitch!'' Who the fuck|asks for that fucking misery? l hope not you. Yeah, what about me? Anyway, you know, there's a lot--|l mean, the list is long, mate. -lnfantilism, you've got--|-What's infantilism? They make you a baby,|give you a bottle. Put you in diapers, nurse you,|turn you into an infant. l mean, it's the sickest,|most twisted place you'll ever go. l mean, they claw your balls. They'll tie your cock up|with a shoelace... ...stick truncheons up your ass.|lt's twisted. lt's fucking twisted. But l'm telling you,|the moment you come.... The moment you come,|you are so sober. I mean, so fucking sober. You're like, ''What have I just done?|What the fuck have I just done? I've just paid $2 7 5|for some stranger... ...some chick I don't even know,|to, like, whip me... ...and piss on my head. '' So where's the upside?|Why do you do it? l don't get it. Well, on a physical level,|it can be rather pleasurable. Psychologically-- This is without|getting too deep here. --l think it has a lot to do|with pain and self-flagellation... ...both literally and metaphorically. l mean, l don't know whether|it's the culture or what... ...but the English, in general,|are very into pain and spanking. The English? Really? Yeah, you're always reading|some story in the papers... ...about some judge or vicar|bent over a hooker's knee. l didn't know the English|were so fucked up. Mate, the English are very... ...l mean, very fucked up. Yeah, one sec. Sweating like a fucking rapist. Syd. Come and have a look at the view. Yeah. lt's Mallory,|the girl from the bar. l'll hook you up. -Come back in.|-Who? Mallory. The girl from the bar. -She's hot. l'll hook you up.|-No, no, mate, no. l'm too-- l'm wanked, mate.|l can't be fucking with girls. So what? So am l. l've been drinking this piss.|No, l can't, fuck it. -l can't operate like this.|-Who cares? -l'm fucking dizzy.|-She'll be in and out. You help yourself to that,|l'm gonna leave. -lt's been a fucking pleasure.|-Don't leave. Please don't fucking leave.|Go get a drink, come back. -No, mate, no.|-Bateman, one fucking drink. Come right back.|Work Mallory, she's hot. Fuck you. A drink of what?|What do you want? Anything. A bottle.|Jack, tequila, whiskey. You're staying, though, right? -One fucking drink.|-One fucking drink. Fine, fine, just don't go anywhere.|You'll fucking thank me. l haven't had a bump|in like three hours. Bateman, this is my friend Mallory. Mallory, this is Bateman. Hey. You're the guy from the bar, right? Mallory, yeah? Bateman. Nice to meet you. -Sorry.|-Excuse me. -What a clumsy idiot.|-Sorry. Well, how do you guys|know each other? A friend of a friend. What friend? l don't know, Mallory.|What's with the 20 Questions? Fuck. Just asking. So, what,|are you leaving or something? l'm just gonna grab us a drink|and then... ...l'm coming back.|Do you want one? Sure, l'll have another one. -l'll see you in a minute.|-Good. l'll see you in a minute, Syd. Damn, kid. So how do you know that guy? He got this blow. He's not|a dealer, he just knew the guy. -Oh, yeah?|-Yeah. Good guy, right? -Yeah.|-Hey, you don't know if London's here. Yeah, she got here like a minute ago. What'd she say?|Does she know l'm here? No. She didn't say anything. l can't believe she's leaving tomorrow.|That's just so fucked up to me. Well, instead of staying here all night,|why don't you go out and talk to her. -l'm sure she'd love to talk to you.|-l doubt that. Why wouldn't she wanna talk to you?|You guys in a fight? A fight? Mallory, she hasn't|called me in two months. l wasn't invited tonight.|Don't you think it's odd... ...she wouldn't tell me she's moving|across the fucking country? -She didn't call you?|-No. -That's fucked up.|-Didn't even leave a message. -l know that girl better than anybody.|-When's the last time you talked? -l don't know, two months.|-Really? -l'm sure she was gonna call you.|-When? l just checked my messages. -ls she gonna call me from LAX?|-Dude, l don't fucking know. Man. Fucked up! Hey, Syd, can l ask you|something personal? What? Well.... lt's probably-- l don't know if it's true,|that's obviously why l'm asking... ...and since we're cool and all,|l just figured-- l'm kind of concerned. But l-- Anyway, l kind of heard that-- -What? Something about London?|-l heard-- lt's probably bullshit. -But l heard you--|-What, Mallory? Spit it out. Fuck. Dude, l kind of heard that|you tried to kill yourself. -What? Who told you that? London?|-No, it wasn't London. -Who told you that? Who?|-Dude, l don't know. l don't even remember. London's the only person|that knew about that. So any way you heard it,|it's pretty fucked up. -So, what? lt's not true?|-No, it's not fucking true. Dude, l don't get it.|What the fuck happened then? You tell me what you heard happened,|then l'll tell you what really happened. Just after this bump. Hold up. All right. Okay. l heard that, like, you guys had a fight|or something, and you broke out... ...she drove to your place,|found you unconscious... ...next to some sleeping pills, and you|had to get your stomach pumped. Okay, now do you wanna know|what really happened? Yeah. l mean, that's why l asked. -You know my dog, Toker?|-Yeah. -Yes, well, he's epileptic.|-Okay. -So the vet prescribed phenobarbital.|-Pheno--? What the fuck is that? They're barbiturates.|They're downers, for his fits. Wait a minute. Your dog has epilepsy|and got prescribed--? Let me finish. Anyway... ...it was our two-year anniversary|and she thought l'd forget. -So--|-Syd, you always forget. Always. Oh, fuck. -l feel like such a bitch.|-Well, you are a bitch. Open it. -Open it.|-Okay. Oh, my God. This is so gorgeous. How did|you know l wanted this dress? l saw you drooling all over it|last time we were at Valentino. l love it! Oh, it's so beautiful. Thank you so much, baby. There's more. -What is that?|-lt's a basketball. What--? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hi, little guy. Hi, little guy. Oh, baby. -l love you so much.|-l love you. Look at him.|l can't believe you did this. l-- Thank you. Okay. Okay. Hello? Hey. Can l just call you back? No, l'm just|in the middle of something. All right, bye. -Who was that?|-lt was Mallory. Look at his paws. -What? What is it? What's wrong?|-l heard a guy's voice on the phone. What? Are you fucking crazy?|That was Mallory. You swear to God? Yes, l swear to God. lf you don't fucking believe me,|go ahead and call her. Syd. Are you really gonna|fucking call her? Yeah, is Mallory there? This is London's boyfriend.|Who the fuck is this? London, what the fuck is this?|Who was that? Why did you lie? -Let me just explain.|-You better fucking explain. What? Why did you lie?|Are you cheating on me? No, no. Listen. l was really fucked up.|l was out with the girls. -Fucking perfect.|-Are you gonna let me explain? Yes, yes, you better|fucking explain, London. Okay, the clubs were closing, we went|back to Becca's boyfriend's loft. l fucking passed out.|l wake up the next morning... ...and the guy-- There was someone|lying in bed next to me. Then he didn't try anything? You're fucked up in his bed,|he didn't try anything. l find that hard to believe.|And don't fucking lie to me. lf you fucking lie to me,|l'm walking out the fucking door. He tried to kiss me. But there was|nothing because l pushed him away. -lt was not a big deal--|-Define ''tried.'' l wanna know|every single fucking detail. Were you on or under the covers?|Was his hand on your tit? No, Syd. He tries to kiss me|and l pushed him away. -You pushed him away?|-Yes. l walked outside. Mallory called me a cab,|and l went home. lf you went home,|why is he calling you? -How does he have your number?|-l don't know. Maybe Becca's boyfriend|gave him the number. But l definitely didn't give it to him. Nothing happened. l swear to God.|Don't you fucking believe me? Please. l don't know what to believe. You swore that was|Mallory on the phone... ...and it wasn't.|So, what the fuck? We've dated for two years. l believed|everything you said until now. Now l don't know|what the fuck to believe. lt's like your words are meaningless. l just don't trust you anymore,|London. l made a mistake.|l made a fucking huge mistake. -l'm sorry.|-lf it was one fucking mistake... ...why did you say|you were gonna call back? Why would you tell a guy|who you don't know... ...whose number you don't have,|you're gonna call him back? What the fuck is that? So l took a couple|of Toker's phenobarbital. Wait, you took|your dog's medication? Phenobarbital is phenobarbital.|lt doesn't matter if it was for my dog. People have been taking it|recreationally for years. Smoke that. So wait a minute,|what does it do to you? They make you feel good.|They're like downers. -Okay.|-Anyway... ...l was pretty drunk|and l took like five or six of them. -Five or six doggy downers?|-Toker's 50 pounds, he takes two. -l'm 1 70, five or six seems pretty good.|-Shit. The problem is that if you're drunk,|you can fall into a coma... -...if you're not careful.|-You went into a coma? -What's wrong with you?|-No, l didn't go into a fucking coma. London came back|to apologize or whatever. Syd? Syd! Syd! Somebody, please, help! lt's so fucked up. The fact she's telling|people that makes me so furious. l would never do that to anyone.|lt's just fucking rude. -They never pumped your stomach?|-No, l went to the hospital. l took a few coherency tests.|That's it. That's all. Do you see how reality gets twisted|when little fucking girls gossip? Yeah. Yeah, l mean, l guess. -What? Do you not believe me?|-No, of course l believe you, Syd. That's why l asked. l was concerned. Makes me so livid|that she's out there... ...telling people this warped version|of what happened. You know what? Just please don't|go out there telling her l told you this. That's the last thing you need. The last thing l'm gonna do|is mention your name. Well, honestly, if l were you, l wouldn't|even bring the shit up, okay? lt's her last night here.|Focus on something positive. She don't wanna hear that shit. Fuck. What? What's wrong? l don't know, l don't know. Because l start sweating|and my heart starts pounding... ...and l feel like my head's spinning|and the world's crashing. And l get pulled down,|further into, like, the darkest... ...meanest places of my brain,|and l start suffocating. And you feel like you're dying. What? What? Say something. -What would you like me to say?|-Anything. Something. l don't care. l can't be your crutch, Syd. Oh, you are such a miserable|fucking human being. Miserable in what way? The way that you're sitting there,|taking my fucking money... ...and l'm dying. Nothing you do|helps me. The Prozac doesn't help. The lithium doesn't help. The Zoloft|doesn't help. Nothing you do helps. You're kind of a fucking asshole. l just wanna fucking|turn the pain off, you know? Just give me something that|the pain can go away with, you know? Can you do that? Don? l think you're doing great. When that anxiety hits,|it's terrifying... ...because you're like,|''Maybe l'm really going crazy. Maybe l've finally|fucked with my head enough... ...that l just detached from reality.'' -You have these horrible revelations.|-Like what? l started freaking out about death.|l became obsessed. l couldn't conceptualize not|being here. Just not being here. One day, Mallory, you and l|are gonna be dead. Buried. Gone. You think about religion. People are|just swallowing these concepts. Like God and heaven,|just to suppress our deepest fears... ...that we don't know why we're here.|lt makes no sense. lt totally makes sense, okay? At the same time it allows people|to go on living their everyday lives... ...without constantly obsessing over|these things. These realities. Life, death, heaven, hell.|Existence, why we're here. You know, who knows,|it's possible that a god does exist. Energy, force, spirit, whatever|you wanna call it. l believe that. Fair enough.|So, what happens when you die? l don't know. You fucking die. Why|does there have to be an answer? Why can't there just be mysteries?|l don't know. Your body dies. Your actual physical being dies,|but your spirit, l do believe, lives on. lt lives on in the world. Man, it's this|continuing thing of existence. lt doesn't have to have|a perfect answer why. l buy that a little bit more|than an invisible guy... ...taking checks and balances|on 6 million people. That sounds like Santa Claus to me. lt's like a fairy tale for adults|who can't handle death. Yeah, because if you think about it... ...there was a time that we didn't know|that the world was round... ...or that the atom existed|or whatever, right... ...because we didn't have|the technology to observe it. And then...one day we do, right? So, l mean, it's totally|conceivably possible... ...that in our lifetime, we will have|the technology to observe God... ...or whatever it is that created us|and the planets... ...and the universe|and everything else. Right? lt's important to at least have faith|in the possibility... ...of a higher being|or something, or whatever... ...because otherwise, you're just-- You're gonna drive yourself|completely fucking insane. Right, but that really is|the operative word isn't it? What do you mean? What word? ''Faith.'' Because without faith,|what do you have? You have nothing. You got a few stories written 1 00|years ago, thousands of years ago... ...by people who are more|clueless than we are. The same people who were crucifying|people who said the world was round. So, you know. l just need more proof.|l need logic to support this religion. Okay, if you want proof,|l will give you proof. There was a study that was done|in Japan with physicists, okay? They took two vats of rice... ...they put one in one room,|and one in another room. They put a time-lapse camera on it|so they could observe it for a month. They let all these people|come into one room... ...and they would say, ''I love you,|rice. You are the best rice. You are the most beautiful,|most gorgeous, sexy rice there is.'' And in the other room,|they say, ''l fucking hate you, rice. I hate you. You're the worst rice.|Fuck you, rice, you're the worst rice. '' After a month, the rice that they|said ''l love you'' to? Still edible. The other rice looks like|fucking black sludge. l saw the pictures. l saw, you know,|the time-lapse video. lt's a study. lt's real.|l saw it with my own eyes. That's your proof right there. l mean,|it's energy. We're affecting something. -God is energy.|-London, you're talking about rice. Rice. lt has nothing to do with religion.|Nothing to do with God. -l gave you proof.|-l'm sorry, l don't find proof in that. You know what your problem is?|You're so undyingly convinced... ...that everything your parents|and teachers taught you... ...you hold it as|this indisputable, almighty truth. Syd, can we please just drop it?|Can we just fucking drop it? You wanna drop it because|you know l'm right. Admit that... -...we'll talk about whatever you want.|-Shut up. -Shut the fuck up.|-Just admit it. You're scared to question authority|because what if they're wrong? What if all your parents|and all your elders... ...were as scared of death as you,|and brainwashed just like you? You're just blind to see it. Okay, so l'm brainwashed... ...because l happen to think|that believing in something... ...other than meaninglessness|and nonexistence is a positive thing? -Okay. That's really smart, Syd.|-l'm glad you agree with me. l was being facetious, you dipshit. Why are you calling me a dipshit? Why are you calling me a dipshit? Because... ...you always have to be right.|Why do you always have to be right? And your ego.|Your ego, it's just huge. -lt's just out of fucking control.|-There's no need to freak out. Syd, because you don't know|when to stop. You keep going|and going and going... ...until people just wanna|smash your face in. Okay, okay.|Maybe God doesn't exist. l guess me and the billions upon|billions and billions of other people... ...who actually pray to something|are completely deluded... ...and you are right.|You are all-knowing. You're God, Syd. lsn't that what|you wanna fucking hear anyway? -That everyone else is wrong and--?|-Doesn't everybody? And l'm deluded?|And l am fucking deluded? You are-- You're sick.|You're sick, Syd. You need fucking mental help. God, you make everybody crazy.|You're making me fucking crazy. You just-- You blanket people with|your pseudo-intellectual bullshit... ...and then they can't fucking breathe.|You just suffocate people. You don't talk to people.|You talk at them. At least l talk about real shit.|We've been going out for two years. What's the most intelligent|conversation we've had? How many grams of fat|are in a slice of vegetarian pizza? -Fuck you! You're so annoying.|-No, fuck you, London! You are more annoying than me. You get away with it|because no one listens. They stare at your tits,|thinking of ways to fuck you. l can't fucking believe that l ever fell|in love with a fucking asshole like you! -You're such a fucking asshole!|-Stop! -l fucking hate you!|-London. Take it easy. Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Baby. Come on, now. l'm not gonna get her back, am l? l don't know. Why don't you go talk to her. Are you leaving? l'm getting really claustrophobic.|l need to get some air. -l'm not freaking you out, am l?|-No, l'm so high right now. l need a drink. -Here, let me give you some of this.|-Can you bring that purse over? -Yeah, of course.|-Thanks. Here. -Oh, thanks, man.|-Here, this is for you. -That's way too much.|-No, please, take it. -You sure?|-Yeah. Thanks, man. That's really sweet. So you--? Do you wanna|come out there or what? Yeah, l'll be out there in a minute.|l'm gonna... -...just hang here for a minute or two.|-All right. See you out there, okay? You gotta come out. Hello, girls. What's your name? We're at a party, come on.|What are you reading a book for? Fancy a smoke in the little room? We're reading, actually,|about robopathology. Complicated little thing, aren't you? l was gonna leave,|then l had to make a beeline to you. Like l feel l know you|or something like that. On a one-to-ten scale... ...you're a four. ln dim light. One lantern so l wouldn't have to|see your heinous, disfigured face. You are absolutely--|You're beautiful. l have to go.|That's my chopper. But before l do-- -lt's picking you up?|-Yeah. l invented this move: She likes me. She's laughing. -How old are you?|-Eighteen. Eighteen. Let me just get another drink now. Stop. l'm not hitting on you. -l like your shoes.|-You do? -Excuse me. Hey, girl, l'm out of here.|-Already? -l'm gonna miss you.|-l'm gonna miss you too. -Thank you so much for coming.|-You're welcome. -Don't get shallow on me.|-l promise. Are you kidding me? -l'm sorry. l'll see you later.|-Nice to meet you. Call us when you get home.|Let us know you're okay. All right, all right, all right, come on. Come on, Syd. You gotta mellow out.|You gotta mellow out. You need a beer.|You need a bottle. Okay. Stop doing blow.|You gotta stop doing coke. Don't grind your teeth. lf she sees|you grind your teeth, you're fucked. Come on, Syd.|Mellow out, mellow out. Be a man. Be a man. There. Get a drink.|Go out there, get a drink. What's the worst that can happen?|What's the worst that can happen? l can see London. So what? Fuck. Fuck. Okay. You fuck up tonight, it's over. Okay. Come on. You know l do. Well, if you do, if you love me,|why don't you just say it? Why can't you just fucking say it?|Why is it so impossible for you? lt's-- lt's three words. lt's-- L-O-V-E Y--|lt's eight fucking letters. You can't say eight fucking letters? lt's not a lot of letters. Say it. Tell me you were not doing|cocaine in my parents' bathroom. -What are you talking about?|-Don't ''what are you talking about'' me. -l saw you go upstairs.|-Yeah, l went to the fucking bathroom. -Really?|-Yeah, l had to pee. Well, swear to God|you're not doing cocaine. Who the fuck is Bateman? That's his friend or some shit.|l don't know. He's hot. l think l want to have|hot coke sex with him. You fucking did cocaine!|Don't fuck with me. Are you? Yeah, man, he's hot.|l like guys with accents. Oh, my God. l gotta go. -So l met your girl, mate.|-What do you mean, you met her? Mallory, she introduced us. l didn't say l knew you.|l didn't wanna blow your cover. But, my God,|she is painfully gorgeous. Yeah, no shit. l'd go out there|and speak to her immediately. l can't go out there like this.|l'm not thinking right. lf she knows l'm on blow,|she won't even talk to me. Fuck! How do l look?|Do l look like l'm on blow? -No, you're fine.|-No, look at me. Look at my eyes. A bit, yeah. Come on. Drink some more booze.|You'll be fine. What was l thinking,|getting these tonight? So stupid, Syd. l just wanted to clear my head out.|Try and think a little bit clearer. Now l'm so fucking spun|l can't even think straight. -Fuck.|-Happens, mate. l've never been particularly social|on this shit, anyway. lt's a lonely, lonely drug. This is fucking crazy. l should bail. l can't do this. -Should l bail?|-You could. -l think you'd regret it.|-Why? Why do you say that? Personally, l'd rather|regret something l'd done... ...than something|l was too afraid to do. No shit. But l haven't talked to this girl|in two fucking months. Everybody here hates me.|These are all her friends. lf l go out there, it is gonna get|fucking ugly. Fucking ugly. You'd think they'd have something to|take the edge off a chick leaving you. That'd be nice.|Look, they have this theory. Maybe it'll help. l don't know. Fuck knows where it comes from.|The broad strokes of it are... ...that it takes a third of the time... ...to recover from a relationship|as the relationship was long. So, for example,|if the relationship lasted a year... ...you'll be good in four months. -Two years, you'll be clean in eight.|-lt's not a third, it's a half. -Mate, it's a third. Trust me.|-No, mate, it's a half. Maybe in England it's a third.|ln America it's a half. l dated her for two years. lt's been|six months and it's getting worse. Six months? Come on.|What are you complaining about? You've got two months to go. Good behavior, maybe a month. Bro, l appreciate the pep talk... ...but if you haven't noticed,|l'm trying to get this girl back. Look, l don't know if first love|applies to that theory, anyway. lt's been years, l still have these|horribly lucid dreams about Helen. lt's almost like your brain is trying|to compensate for the absence. You know, you think you're|still married, you're still in love... ...life's just beautiful. All of a sudden, you wake up, look|over and she's been gone for years. -Fucking horrendous.|-Yeah, no shit. So you were married before? How long ago? Divorced three years ago. -Who divorced who?|-lt's not that simple. Well, what happened?|Why did you guys split? -Long story, mate.|-Give me the abridged version. ''The abridged version.''|Look, l don't know. The relationship just didn't work|on so many levels. We both had one foot out the door|for two years... ...of our two-and-a-half-year|marriage. You know, but it's weird. You know,|when they tell you they're leaving... ...it's like you don't even|feel the hollowness. lt's an emptiness|within an emptiness... ...and you're left with|slightly less than nothing. The person you were when you met|doesn't exist anymore. You're gone. -So she left you?|-Syd, it's very fucking complicated. What happened?|Did you cheat on her? -No, no. lt's irrelevant.|-lrrelevant? How is it irrelevant? Besides money, infidelity's the most|relevant reason why people split up. Yeah, yeah. True, true. Come on, man.|l thought we were talking. Let's talk, let's talk.|Why did your wife leave you? Syd, it's not a pleasant scene|for me, please. Oh, my scene's pleasant? Mate, l've been 2 1 before.|l know your pain. But where you're pushing me now|is not a place you wanna go. Wait. Are you trying to say|that since you're older than me... -...your pain is somehow more?|-That's the case. Listen, first of all... ...you don't have the slightest clue|what pain l've been through. Just since you're|a couple decades older... ...doesn't mean that your pain is more|than mine. lt doesn't. Secondly, don't make|blind comparisons... ...when you have no fucking clue|what you're comparing. You think having your heart broken|is pain? You think losing God is pain? Mate, l went through that trivial shit|when l was 20. l'm 40 now, mate. Where you're trying to push me now|is not a place you wanna go. So why don't you do yourself a favor,|and don't fucking go there with me. You're a fucking child.|You're just a kid. A kid? Listen, you pompous, limey fuck... ...if you had one tenth my pain,|you'd be psychologically crippled. Mate, seriously, fuck off.|All we're doing is projecting shit here. Look, take a step back.|Let's relax, shall we? -Do a bit of gear. Come on.|-Fuck the gear. l don't want that shit. -More for me.|-lt's Bateman, right? -Nice to see your memory is still intact.|-Well, Bateman... ...let me give you a glimpse into|my life, insight into my fucking pain. -Mate, it's not necessary. Truly.|-No, it is necessary. And if you didn't think it was,|you wouldn't have pushed my buttons. But you did.|And if you don't wanna hear it... ...stop snorting my shit|and get the fuck out of the bathroom. Technically, it's my shit,|but l can see you're passionate, so go. So this fucker... ...this fucking guy out in L.A.,|who my chick is now in love with... ...he's, you know, endowed. -She told you that?|-Yeah. So l needed to know how big. Not that l give a fuck|about another guy's dick. lt's one of those things|you feel like you need to know. So we're in an argument,|and l was pushing her. l was like, ''How big is he?'' She was like, ''Let's not make an issue|out of it.'' And l said, ''No, fuck that.'' And she says,|''Ten and a half inches.'' -Jesus.|-Yeah, you believe that shit? She could have at least|rounded it down. -The girl's trying to hurt you, mate.|-Yeah, no shit. But it really fucked with me, you know.|Knowing that this guy is in L.A... ...with the only woman l love,|fucking her with 1 0 and a half inches. l'm chasing her around like a puppy,|doing anything l can to get her back. And it crushed me!|lt still fucking crushes me! Sorry, mate. -How exactly do you deal with that?|-You don't deal with it. lt deals with you. God, it eats at you|and it eats at you, you know? We'd get in these fights,|and l'd say the most horrible things. l'd be like, ''You just want a fat cock|in your fat snatch, you fucking whore.'' You know, l'd--|Just mean, horrible things. l'd be so fucking angry, you know? l used to say the same shit, mate. l|used to say the most horrendous shit. Why? What'd she do? She didn't really do anything. You know, l imagine that|a lot of it had to do with me. A lot of it had to with my hang-ups|and depression and shit. But, my God, l used to say the worst|shit to her. l tormented that girl. l lived with her for three and a half|fucking years and l hated her. So, what was the final snap? Did you cheat on her?|Did she cheat on you? No, no. God, no. -How do you know?|-Because l didn't, you know? l didn't. -How do you know she didn't?|-l know she didn't. lt wasn't her thing. How do you know? l was with the most beautiful girl|in the universe. She didn't fuck me|for two fucking years! -Why?|-l don't know. Because we fought. l was in therapy. l don't-- l don't-- Look, l don't know. lf you wanna know it is, l'll tell you. You remember sentences|that people say to you. They stick in your mind like gunshot|wounds that never fucking heal. l remember what my ex-wife|said to me when we started dating. She said, ''l love it when a guy|fucks me four, five times a night.'' -Four, five times a night?|-Yeah. Truly. l was like, ''You was with some guy... ...who fucked you|four, five times a night?'' -You wanna know what pain is?|-What? -l'll tell you what pain is, you fuck.|-Why you calling me a fuck? -l'll tell you what pain is, you fuck.|-Why you calling me a fuck? Because, my friend,|you brought me here... ...and l didn't particularly|wanna go here, but now l am. lf you don't wanna go|where l'm about to go... ...then tell me right now|and l'll walk out the door... ...l'll phone my therapist|and that will be it, okay? No, fuck that, l wanna hear this.|You're not going anywhere. -You wanna know what it is?|-Yes, l wanna know what it is. Motherfucker, you wanna know|what it is? Pain, my friend... ...is when the woman you love|wants to fuck you... ...four, five times a night,|and you can't! -Why?|-Why? Why? l'll tell you why.|Because l'm an impotent man! Motherfucker, that's pain! That's fucking pain! When your wife wants|to fuck you four times a night... ...and you fucking can't! You know that some fucker|before you could. And you know that some fucker|after you will! Well, l couldn't|cope with that, could l? That sense of ruination... ...that insolvency|that burns in your soul. l couldn't fuck my wife! Do know what|that fucking means, mate? Do you understand|what impotent rage really is?! -l'm sorry.|-You have no fucking idea, mate! -l'm sorry.|-Oh, you're sorry? Oh, you're sorry, are you? You dare, you fucking dare|ask me if there's a God? Well, man, l feel forsaken.|l feel cheated, you cunt! l've lost in the big game,|and nothing else fucking matters. lt doesn't matter what you do.|lf you can't hack it in the sack, mate... ...if you can't hack it|in the game of love and sex... ...you are shit, my friend. Because you can't do what the other|man can do to your fucking wife, mate! l know what you mean. No, motherfucker,|you do not know what l mean! You couldn't possibly know|what the fuck l mean! l failed. l fucking failed, mate. And l'm still failing|every fucking day of my life! Every day. Every fucking day. You know.... Thought you were gonna|clock me for a minute. l wasn't gonna hit you.|l'm projecting. You should see my group therapy|sessions. They're fucking psychotic. Yeah, l'll bet. Mate, do yourself a favor,|please, for me. Go and talk to your chick. l can't. To be honest, l'm thinking|about making for the elevator. l can't go out like this.|She doesn't even want me here. Look, l hate to break it to you, mate... ...but by now|she knows you're here... ...and, unfortunately,|time is not on your side. What are you gonna do,|wait outside like a fucking stalker? Wouldn't be the first time. -Go, man, go. Come on.|-No, l can't, l can't, l can't. Listen to me. God. Listen to me, you might not have|a 1 0-and-a-half-inch cock... ...but at least you can still fuck her. So quit worrying about|all the bullshit. The fact is, she's here, you're here. Life's too short|to be a pussy, mate. Truly. Come on. l think l would love to do that. l don't|really know a lot of people there. Not a whole lot going on in L.A.,|but we'll find something. Hey, London.|Could l talk to you for a second? Yeah. What is it?|What do you want? l wanna know if we can go somewhere|and talk for a second, please. You don't wanna talk here?|We can't just talk right here? Please. Syd,|A, this is my going-away party... ...and l think it would be pretty uncool|to the people who threw it for me... ...if l left just because|you wanted to talk. And, B, l don't know|if you noticed... ...but we were kind of|in the middle of a conversation... ...so l don't know what to tell you. Listen, l'm gonna grab another drink.|Can l--? Can l get you something? Actually, yeah. l'd love something.|Something strong. -Fuck me up.|-All right. What about you, bruiser?|What are you drinking? ls that a bottle of cockblocker? So.... l heard you've been snorting drugs|all night. Really productive. l heard you told people|l tried to kill myself. That's really fucking great of you.|l really appreciate it. Who the fuck told you that?|l would never say that. -You know that.|-The fact is, l have known you... ...since you were 1 0.|We have been through everything. And you don't have|the decency to call-- -Please keep your voice down?|-What the fuck is that?! -You wanna talk? Fine, let's go.|-Get the fuck off me. l'm sorry, excuse me. -l'm sorry, excuse me. l'm sorry.|-What? -London, are you okay?|-Yeah. We're just gonna--|We're gonna go and talk. Yeah? Because if you want, l'll call|security and have him taken out. Becca, could you do me a favor?|Stay out of this? You've been doing coke in the|bathroom all night so don't tell me... ...what l can and can't do|in my own fucking house... ...considering you|weren't even invited. lt's cool, Bec. We're gonna go.|lt's gonna be fine. lt's not cool, London.|Baby, he wasn't invited. You didn't want him here,|l didn't want him. -No one wants him here.|-Becca, can you relax? Please? -Don't tell me to relax.|-Why can't you relax for two seconds? -We're leaving.|-You're shouting at my fucking party. Also you're psychotic.|You couldn't take a hint... ...if it smashed you in the face.|She doesn't want to be with you. -Not even 20 seconds.|-We're leaving. Let's go. -Bec, we're leaving. l'm sorry.|-You know what? l'm sorry, London, and l'm not|trying to be a bitch here... ...but when you come back,|you come back alone. l don't want you|in my house again, all right? Or l will call the cops. Becca, l'm really trying|to be calm here, all right? Fuck off. l'm so tired of you|and your psycho fucking shit. You wanna talk about psycho? -Let's talk about your fucked-up life.|-Stop it. -Fuck you!|-Fuck this! You wanna fuck with me? You wanna fuck with me?|Let's do it right fucking now. Why don't you fuck off, alrighty? You weren't even invited to this. -You wanna fuck with me?|-Stop it. We're leaving right now! How many friends did you fuck|freshman year? Fifteen, 20? l think l lost count. Was it|the whole fucking pledge class? Jay, you never really know|your girlfriend. lsn't that a total mind-fuck? You're a fucking bastard! You fucking wanker! Get the fuck|out of my fucking house! Hey! -Fuck you.|-Come on, then! Fucking prick.|You want some, you fucking slag? Hey, Syd! Here, you cunt.|Have some of that, you fuck. Fuck off. Come on, then. Hey, Syd! Get off, you fucking asshole. You fucker. Get the fuck off him. Come on. Wait a minute, l gotta get Bateman. What? Who the fuck is Bateman? Come on, you cunts!|You want some, do you? Do you? Let's go, Bateman. Come on. -My coat. My Burberry coat.|-Fuck it, leave the jacket. -l've had it 1 0 fucking years.|-l'll get it. -Are you fucking crazy?|-We'll be downstairs. Guy's fucking nuts. -You're bleeding.|-l am so sorry. -Where?|-This is fucking insane. -You are insane.|-l am so sorry. lf you wanna go back, l understand. -You don't wanna talk?|-Yeah, l wanna talk. l mean.... Well, where?|Where do you wanna go? My car's two blocks away|if you want coffee. -Yeah, okay.|-All right. Okay. Look, you're probably not|gonna believe this at all... ...but l was kind of glad|when l heard you were at the party. Ever since you and l broke up,|l've wanted... ...to have a normal conversation,|just a normal conversation with you. And l just feel like every time|l see you, it just gets so, like.... Like, weird and chaotic and scrambled,|and l can't organize my thoughts... ...and l can't even express the most|basic things l want to say to you. l know. Me too. Whatever we had when we were|together, when we were in love... ...that feeling of just being able to lie in|bed with someone for days and days... ...and not give a fuck|about the outside world... ...is gone. And l feel like there's nothing|l can do to ever get it back. Do you know how painful that is? Yeah. Yeah, l do. l cried for weeks when we broke up. You cried for weeks? Yes. The hardest thing|l've ever dealt with in my life. How long did you go through that? A long time. A long time. l mean, the first month,|it was so fucking bad. And then... ...you know, slowly, it gets better.
