- Good to see you too.
(Reika laughs)
How are you?
- Good, good good good
Just got a deadline that I'm workin' on, ya know
- Totally.
- Yeah.
- So, I'm actually working on a new project
- Oh cool!
But I should really get back to-
- I actually think you'd really like it,
it's about these two hogs, right?
And one is a girl hog, and the other one is also a girl hog,
(wind blowing)
and it's about kinda their friendship, right
but it's also a lot of retelling of La La Land
I'm just very excited to be working on my own stuff now
because I don't have to wait anymore,
like I just spent so much, I feel like, of my twenties
waiting
- [Offscreen] Reika, Reika, do you read?
You are stuck in a conversation vortex.
I repeat, you are stuck in a conversation vortex.
- Being 20 and in Hollywood, and being like,
"what am I supposed to be doing?"
- [Offscreen] Do not panic.
Remain calm.
I need you to do the following: gently say
"Ha Ha, yeah, I should really get back to work"
- Okay, haha yeah, I should really get back to work.
- Totally.
You know you're such a hard worker,
see that's why I wanna like collaborate with you and stuff.
Like, it's funny, I was at this film festival
- [Offscreen] Damn, it's stronger than we thought!
Okay, now take both your hands, lightly tap your hips
and say, "well" and then start to get up to leave
- Well
(lightning strike)
- Sometimes I'm just like what do people
in the city do to relax?
- Mayday, Mayday!
The signals aren't working!
- [Offscreen] Okay, Reika, remain calm.
Slowly put your headphones back into your ears.
That's right.
We're gonna get you out of this.
- You know it's like I get it, like you have to grind
but it's like, take some time for yourself, it's like
nobody knows what they're saying.
(wind blows)
it's like why I wanna work with you, you know,
because you like, you get it
- [Offscreen] Oh no, he's taking a seat
- You understand
- [Offscreen] Reika, we're sending backup, look out for
Ali with the rope
- You know it's just like floating around, like
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah
- I got you! I got you!
- What's up Ali?
You know Kevin, Right?
What a great dude.
- No, pull me up pull me up he's too boring
I actually have to go to the bathroom so catch you later!
- Later, Ali.
- No!
(Reika crying)
- Anyway, my band is playing tonight, if you wanna get
the gang together and come through,
I think we're actually going to have two bass players,
which will be like really cool,
and like just for the sound stuff
- Hey, guess what song this is
(humming)
- Oh, so dope, right?
- When were you born?
It's from the movie, you remember?
They go to kiss and then it's like-
(drum sounds)
- it's like really important to me that you make time for me
- I can't talk right now, okay?
(heavy breathing)
- You interrupted me?
- Yeah, I did.
- My mechanism to steamroll, everything I've ever known,
it breaks down when you interrupt me.
- Well, good.
I'm sorry, it's just that I have a lot of work to do.
- That's fine, it's just that I wanted someone to listen,
to care, to share my stories with -
- Okay, but
- It's just I feel like nobody really notices me,
you know, and it's like they see me, but do they
really notice me?
(thunder)
And I just feel like, like do you see me as a real person?
(daunting music)
- Oh no, sad conversation vortex!
- I've just been really down lately,
and you're such a good listener,
I like think I'm somebody and then beat myself up,
(thunder)
like what am I doing?
