- Hey.
- How's it going?
- I mean, not great.
How are you doing?
- Uh, do you wanna see a movie?
- Yeah. That's what I'm trying to do.
- I'll get you a ticket.
- Really?
- Sure.
- Uh, thanks a lot, man.
I really appreciate it.
- What do you wanna see?
- Uh, I dunno. I mean, what time is it right now?
- Uh, 2:14.
- Okay. Uh.
I dunno. I mean, what were you planning on seeing?
- Oh. Uh, yeah, I could see a movie.
Um, should we see Not Again?
- Yeah, what is that, like a comedy or something?
- I think it's more of a romcom.
- Okay, yeah. I'm not picky.
- Okay. Great.
- Uh, thanks again for this.
- Oh! Yeah, don't even worry about it.
(guitar strumming)
Oof!
- Oh, god. Ya know, it's just like
if you're going to make a character, a journalist,
and have her go on all these diatribes about
like the importance of the media,
it's like why don't you show me one fucking scene
of her filing a story?
- She didn't, at all!
- No.
- Yeah, she did no reporting.
- No. You never see her write anything.
She didn't take notes--
- Yeah.
- It's just like, it's just lazy.
- It was a bad movie.
- It was a terrible movie. Garbage.
Um. I appreciate the ticket, though.
- Yeah, don't worry about it.
- I don't wanna sound ungrateful.
- No! It was a shitty movie.
I'm glad you didn't like it
'cause if you would have loved it, I don't know what we--
- Right. Then you wouldn't respect me--
- And don't know what we'd be talking about--
- A terrible foot to start off on.
(chuckles)
- Yeah.
Do you wanna go get, like a drink?
Talk about the movie some more?
- Yeah. You wanna get a beer?
- Yeah!
- Okay.
- That'd be great!
- Let's do it.
- Awesome.
- Goldman was good.
- Goldman was really good,
but why give him such a small role?
- Yeah. He had like four lines.
- Yeah.
(bright music)
Ah. So what's going on with you these days?
- In regards to uh--
- Like just, big picture life stuff.
- I got offered this job in Los Angeles.
- Okay.
- But I have a girlfriend here.
- And she doesn't want to move out to LA.
- I've actually not asked her, so yeah.
She would, I think, but I haven't really decided
whether or not I wanna stick it out with her.
- Okay.
- Um, and I'm actually kind of now starting to resent her
the more I'm here, not really doing anything.
I'm just starting to get a little afraid
that if I kinda just like keep hanging out here,
I'm just gonna grow up to live this like booshie existence
where I'm just like living in a house in Jersey.
You know, I'll never have made a movie
and then I'm just like taking the path train to my
inevitable suicide off the bridge or something, you know.
And I'll have kids in private school.
- Oh, god. What a nightmare that would be, right?
- So all of that is really
what's running through my head right now.
Uh, what about you?
- What about me?
- Your whole thing.
- My whole thing?
- Yeah. Are you in a band or something?
- (laughs) No, no. I just dress this way.
- Right.
- As a fashion statement.
Um, what about me? I don't know.
I mean, I do know, but...
my parents died about four months ago
and ya know, we didn't really have money or anything, so.
I was on my own and I figured, hey, why not move to New York
and try to find work and mooch off your friends.
And you'd be surprised how quickly
you can run through your friendships.
So, last friend kicks me out,
and I go, well, ya know, sleep on the train one night
that's not so bad.
And it's like I just woke up four months later
and this was my life now.
- Jesus.
So, is this like the first movie you've seen in four months?
- Oh, no. I saw like two movies last week.
- Okay.
- I probably should've added something about
food or shelter on there,
but the movie thing is working for me.
I will say this, though.
- Uh huh.
- Most people just kinda like open the door to the back,
let me in.
You're the first person actually buy me a ticket.
- Well, I'm too neurotic to like
sneak someone into the movies.
- Because you're afraid you'll get caught, is that the--
- Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. On the flip side, though,
now you have the misfortune
of being stuck with me for three hours.
I mean, most people get away easy and now, you know,
have to take me out, wine and dine me, all this stuff.
- Oh, that's not bad at all.
- Really?
- Mhmm.
- It's not torture?
- No, not at all.
- Okay.
- Um.
Well hey, I gotta get up early tomorrow.
- Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
- I'm Morgan, by the way.
- Kyle. - Kyle?
- Yes.
- Nice to meet you, Kyle. - Nice to meet you as well.
- I didn't peg you for a Kyle.
- What'd you guess?
- You struck me as a like a Rusty.
- Really? I like Rusty.
- Yeah. You struck me as like a Rusty.
- That's kinda cute, right?
- Yeah, Rusty's cute. Rusty is a cute one.
- Yeah.
- Alright. It was really nice meeting you, Rusty. Kyle.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Alright. Have a good one.
- Hey, uh, Morgan.
- Hey.
Uh, I don't know if this is like too forward of me,
but I was wondering if maybe
I could stay at your place tonight?
- Oh, um. Shit.
No. I'm sorry.
I mean, I feel like an asshole,
but like I have a roommate and it's so--
- No. It's, you don't have to worry about it.
- I'm sorry. You wanna?
- No, it's totally fine.
- Okay.
- I just wanna thank you for everything, man.
- Yeah. Sure, man, bring it in. That's totally fine.
Hey! Hey!
What the fuck was that?
- That was me kissing you.
- Yeah! You just fucking kissed me.
- Yeah.
- That's not cool to do!
- It's not fucking cool to kiss someone
at the end of a date?
- This wasn't a date!
- Yeah, that was a date we just went on.
- No it wasn't.
- Okay, I don't know what you're denying in yourself,
but like, you took me to a movie
and then we walked through the park,
and you bought me drinks.
- I was helping you out!
I'm not gay! This wasn't a date!
- That's fucking date, man.
- I have a girlfriend.
- Yeah, all you do is complain about her!
Oh, I don't wanna live with her.
I thought I wanted this, I realized I don't.
Why do you think that is?
'Cause you wanna fucking jerk off some homeless dude.
That's fine! I'm fine with that!
I want you to jerk me off!
Why would you spend that much time with a homeless person
if you didn't want to fuck them?
- Because I wanted to feel better about myself
and you, I use to do that!
- Dude, it was a fucking date.
- It wasn't a fucking date!
- It was a date.
This was a fucking date, man!
