I really, really am in love with you.
-I love you. -All the gifts and the poems,
the paintings, I don't need any of that.
Do you know what I think actual romance is?
It's when we do our laundry.
I like seeing all of our clothes like mixed up together.
It's magic. Love is magic.
-Hi. Hi. Hi. -Hi. Hi. Hi.
-Oh, sorry. You're busy. I-- -Yeah.
I just want us to say sorry about my friend.
-So sorry. -No, fine.
How, how are you? Who are you?
-Oh, I'm George. -Hi.
-Are we on a date? -I. I don't know.
I've never been on a date with a girl before.
So then would you say that you've ever kissed a girl?
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I'm not a Mormon.
-Do you like films? -Do you want to kiss me, Mae?
No...
Now, Mae, your father and I want to know
if you've found a new Narcotics Anonymous meeting.
-Um... -What meeting?
I just found out I'm super premature--
You're in Narcotics Anonymous?
It's really not a big deal.
I've sober for ages.
I honestly don't want to talk about it anymore.
I just want to enjoy being in this beautiful furniture store
with you.
You have the number one best face I've ever seen in real life.
Should I be worried?
No. Honestly, it's very old news.
Yeah?
There's stuff that I didn't know about you
when we moved in together and I'm having to adjust.
Like I had no idea that you have a mug that says
I heart and Guernsey on it.
Is that true? Do you heart Guernsey?
What do you want to know?
Everything?
I got addicted to Coke when I was a kid
and my parents kicked me out.
I sold drugs, I overdosed, I went to jail.
I was just really, really want it to be over.
Okay.
Can you just go down on me?
Okay. That sounds good. Yeah.
Can you say that again?
But like in the voice of Susan Sarandon.
-Okay. -My, my name is Susan Sarandon.
-Lower. -My--okay.
My name is Susan Sarandon
and then if you come, I will be absolutely furious.
They think I have a boyfriend called Jonathan Crenshaw.
I thought you told them about me weeks ago.
If you promise to just keep it together tonight,
then I will tell someone that we're fucking.
Oh, wow! Cool deal.
-Hi! -Where's Jonathan Crenshaw?
-Who's this? -He couldn't make it.
He got stung by ants, by red ants.
-What? -But this is my friend, Mae.
We saw her at a comedy once?
Oh my God! Hi, Mae. I'm Binky, or Binks, whichever.
Your hair is so funny.
Oh, thank you. Your hair is also hilarious.
Oh my God! My cousin Cynthia's here.
She's a lesbian. You'll love her!
-Are you dating anyone? -I am seeing someone,
but she's kind of an arsehole so don't think it's going to last.
Oh, so cute! What's she called?
Um, Hoggy. Hoggy Dunlop.
What?
Yes.
Hoggy Dunlop. Weirdly, is her name.
It's funny, actually, I met her through Jonathan Crenshaw.
That's mad! How'd they know each other?
-They... -They're mother and son.
Did you ever have braces as a kid?
-What? -Or acne?
Did you have acne when you were a teenager?
Okay. Can you, can you just keep, can you just calm down?
You grew up rich and white and straight and hot.
You won the lottery, so, of course, you want to dance.
You're surrounded by people that want to fuck you.
Of course, I don't want to dance in front of people
that would have bullied me in high school
and you're too ashamed to touch me!
Are you to like a thing now then?
Hugh, don't be a dick. Stop it.
But seriously, is there something going on?
No, obviously not.
-I'm going to go. -Yeah, if you want.
-Yeah? -Hi.
Hi, it's George. She fell through a glass table.
There's blood everywhere! It's fucking disgusting!
Hi.
Baby! You came!
You came to see me!
Please come here.
Ooh, I love you!
-I'm so sorry. -It's okay.
No...
I love you.
I'm want to make you come. Look.
-Oh my God! -Woah!
I... I don't think that's...
I'm going to fuck my girlfriend with a strap-on, doctor.
They're going to love you. They love all my girlfriends.
Look, he only real the rule is,
do not disagree with my mother about anything. Okay?
Now, don't you go kicking her to the curb.
Not like you did with Amy or, um... Cole.
Or Caroline.
Yes, or Caroline! Oh God, Caroline!
-Remember? -Yep. I do.
You see, the minute we start to get attached,
you know, they're gone!
Like smoke in the wind.
How do you support your addict?
I mean, what was I meant to say? What a weird question.
I don't know. Maybe you shouldn't have said:
"I bought a strap-on and I pay for most of our Ubers."
I mean, what is wrong with me.
I thank you very, very much for coming.
I think I'm transgender or like non-binary
or whatever the, like the term are these days.
But whatever,
'cause I've always kind of felt this way,
but it is not helping me dating her.
Like it's... In the middle of sex she goes:
"I want you to come inside me."
I was like: "I physically can't."
I don't wear colours anymore because, yeah,
I'm worried she's going to come out of the shower and be like startled
if she sees a bright colour
and be like: "Oh, fuck, it's a girl. Oh my God!"
Do I make you happy?
Does being around me make you feel good about yourself?
Like not really.
But who cares? That's not what being in love is.
-That's not... -Well, what is it then?
Is it... something that you crave, but you can't give up
despite having negative consequences?
-Don't do that. That's not... fair. -Mae...
Is it true that no matter how good I am,
it won't be enough?
Enough for what?
I can't do this.
Oh...
are you...
are you breaking up with me?
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, I think so.
I'm really... I'm so sorry. I don't know what to do.
-Oh, man. -I'm sorry, Mae.
You told me you loved me first.
You said it first.
That was the best moment of my life.
-You told me to move in with you. -I know. I know.
Oh, my God.
-I'm so embarrassed. -Embarrassed?
Why? Mae, I should I'm embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed I let myself think that someone like you
could be with someone like me.
I'm not a boy.
I'm not even a girl. I'm like a failed version of both.
Like some freak.
Mae, don't. I make you feel like that, but it's not true.
I'll go.
Well. Okay. Well, where, where will you go?
-Will you go to Nick's? -I don't know.
Mae, will you be okay? Mae, please?
Can you just come here? Can you come here.
Mae, please, please?
Mae... Oh!
Oh, no!
God...
She's not some chick. I'm in love with her.
-Hi! -Hi.
Oh, sorry. You busy?
No, no, I'm not. I'm definitely not.
Hi, I'm George.
Yes, you are George.
I'm a big fan.
I was just with my friends,
but I lied so I could stay and talk to you.
Wow. Okay.
Wow. Well, it's really nice to meet you.
Sorry, what was your name again?
-George. Yeah. -George?
I've never done this before.
Do you want to punch me in the kidneys?
Punch you? No! Mae!
What is going on?
I just want to have a good time at the hospital!
And there's some stuff going on in Canada.
Right. So this isn't...
this isn't really about having sex with me.
This is what is it? Like a coping mechanism?
What stuff in Canada?
If you're not going to talk to me, I can't help you.
I spoke to a doctor at the hospital,
she said she thinks I might have post-traumatic stress disorder.
I had kind of an insane period of like ten years, right?
With like jail and overdosing and all kinds of like...
How old were you when you lived with Scott?
Like...
15, 16.
And he was what? Like 30.
Yeah. And it's stuff that...
I think to other people might not seem that bad,
but maybe... it is to me or something.
-I don't know -No, that is bad, Mae.
Love is a biological evolutionary mechanism
that's designed to provide a brief, brief respite
from the unmitigated pain of being alive.
I want to be with you forever.
And...
-Oh my God! -So, George...
that's why I'm asking...
Mae, please can you get up. Get up. Get up. Please get up.
If you would do me the absolute honour
of actually marrying me.
-What's my middle name? -Big...
Big Balthazar?
-No? -No, it's not "Big Balthazar".
And no, I'm not gonna marry you.
I'm so, so sorry.
I've been so self-involved
and it's because I'm, I'm a teenager.
I'm a teenager because I'm stuck, back there.
So I'm going to go back to Canada.
I'm going to talk to Scott
and I understand if you don't want to,
or you want to take some space and like, think about, you know...
Where...
where are you going?
With you. To Canada.
Are you not breaking up with me?
I said no
to the most ill-judged proposal of all time, Mae, not to us.
When you think of me in your head, do you think of me like a...
like a boy or a girl, would you say?
Just... you, really.
Yeah.
More importantly, how, how do you see you?
Yeah, just me, really, I think. Yeah.
But then, that feels like not really a thing.
I don't know what that means or...
I think that, that is a thing. That's non-binary, Mae.
I do think maybe you should Google it.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I probably should Google it.
You tell me and I'll use the right words.
I can't handle it.
Like... life or like...
like being in love with you.
Mae? Mae, please listen. Listen to me.
Okay.
You can barely handle it.
But there is difference. You are handling it.
Every day.
You are.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah...
I think I don't...
need you as much anymore.
But...
I want you.
Do you want me?
Yeah, I do.
-Okay. -Yeah.
So...
what is photosynthesis?
Okay.
So, photosynthesis is a process by which-- It's a chemical process.
Plants use sunlight
and they turn carbon dioxide and water into energy.
-They use the sunlight? -Yeah.
That blows my mind.
-Really? -Okay. If you like that, baby,
-can I say about chlorophyll? -What the hell is that?
Okay. You know, green? Green plants?
-I know green plants. -Yeah, green plants.
But what makes them green?
-Yeah. -Chlorophyll.
