Leaving Circadia (2014) - full transcript

This gritty Brooklyn-based generational emigration follows a group of late twenty-somethings as they are thrust into new phases of life and love, wrestling with the responsibilities that accompany their passage from post-college limbo into thirties adulthood.



























Hello?

Now?

We're out.

Hey Tom.

One sec.

You in the bathroom man?

That was the front desk.

They found your wallet

under a blackjack table

with your room key.

Shit, we fucking said that

didnt we?

Well birthday boy, hop to it.



Some of us have

careers to live.

Tom, it's been five minutes.

I think you're...

You feeling alright?

I don't know.

I had a nightmare this morning

that I was running

in slow motion

and my father

was still alive again

and heas chasing me.

That's nice.

He's trying to catch up.

Wish you a happy birthday.

Alright.

I have to be in my office

at noon and I still have

to shower and shave.

There he is.

Welcome to 30 buddy. How?

Same as it does every week we're

here except down a hundred.

Come on man, it's a big deal.

I mean just a day ago

I would've considered you

a slacker.

Now you've graduated to fuck up.

That's very kind.

Ah, come on man.

I'm kind of kidding.

Anyone taking these soaps?

Missed a fine group of ladies

last night.

Came down to the tables

just as you doofuses stumbled

back drunk.

Toilet paper? Anyone?

Last chance. Sold.

Single ass wasted on single.

Yeah, I don't think Jackie

would appreciate you

calling me single.

Until you get once of these...

you're single.



Well, you tell her

when she wants me to then I wil.

But I'm not going to...

Hang on a sec.

Hey. What are those?

Oh, flyers. This is for Phil's.

Falafel and that's for

free beginners night

at salsa fever.

Cool.

You ever eat at Phil's Falafel?

No.

Do you salsa?

Nah.

Me neither.

You want to get 'em off

my fucking car?

I don't know. Some prick.



Hey Sasha.

Can you make a picture for

my friends and me?

I'm kind of busy right now.

Can I make you one later?

Sasha, get over here

and stop bothering Tom.

Hey Kora,

it's no problem.

Half a day of school

so mommy's extra busy today.

Have a nice day Tom.

I'll see you later.

Let's go Sashi.

Hey, garbage fingers.



Hey, garbage fingers.

Hey, garbage fingers.

Come Here.

Jesus. Hey Gnat.

Come here.

I don't want to shout.

The new guy, upstairs.

Ah, he's early.

Did he say he was moving

in today?

I█m not sure.

Last I checked,

I didn't give a fuck.

That shower head

I asked you to pick up

like 50 years ago.

You got to wake up kiddo.

Yeah I bought it Friday.

I'll grab my tools,

I'll head up.

Listen, I got a lot of new peope

in the building

so I'm counting on you.

There are more exspensive lots

I got to worry about.

You understand?

I want to see this place

cleaner than Mayberry.

What's Mayberry?

It's a fruit.

Go!

Come in.

It's unlocked.

Hey. Wow! Penthouse.

Yup. Just renovated it.

Mine still looks like shit.

What's up man?

Hey.

Tom your super.

Davis.

Welcome to the hood man.

Yeah thanks, listen, ah...

Gnat said the shower was supposd

to be fixed 6 hours ago.

Oh yea, sorry man.

He didn't tell me that you were

moving in today so

communication kind of

got miss-communicated.

I called you.

Yeah? Oh yeah.

The phone company shut off

my service off 2 days back

cause I was late this month.

Got to get an online

pay thing set up.

I left a message.

Ah, I've been in A.C.

with my boys shit faced

the whole weekend.

You know how it gets.

Nah, I don't gamble or drink.

Religious?

Nah look.

I don't mean to be a dick dude.

But I missed a meeting.

I really need to shower.

Yeah, yeah, sure. Sorry.

Of course man.

Don't worry. I'll be out of here

faster than a 13 year old

in a whorehouse.

If I had this place

every day would

feel like vacation.

It's temporary.

Yeah, you should

stick around.

I've been here

7 years.

Huh, time flies.

Don't even ask

how I ended up here.

Is that sage I smell?

I light sage to meditate.

What's that do for you?

Well meditating helps

Well meditating helps.

Well meditating helps

you focus.

What?

Meditating helps you focus!

It's important.

I'd say it's as

important as breathing.

Breathing's important.

Okay.

She's nice and wet.

Oh, thanks man.

Um... It was nice meeting you.

Yeah same.

Hey feel free to

come over sometime.

I'm in 1R.

Hey, you smoke?

No.

You are religious.

No, actually

my mother died

of lung cancer.

Jesus, sorry man.

It's alright.

Well... I mean other stuff.

Illegal stuff?

Nah no, weed.

No.

Yeah, okay good,

good, cause I was

going to say

whatever you do here

just make sure

it's in the privacy

of your apartment.

People here are pretty

tolerant as long as

you don't flaunt anything.

Well that█s good to know. Thank.

Could you uh lock

the door on your

way out please.

Yeah man. Later.



Can we push each other

to do push-ups from now on?

Sure.

You do 25.

Nah don't do it.

Okay.

You meet the new dude

I have not.

He's a dick.

What kind of dick?

A condescending...

kind of yuppie-ish.

Eighties bad guy yuppie?

Black yuppie.

Bluppie.

Yeah.

Coffee?

Sure.

How many cups is that today?

I don't know.

Three, four, six.

Wow.

Wow what?

Dr. Sanjay Gupta says

you're supposed to have

8 cups of water a day

and coffee counts.

What's he say

about heart attacks?

He says 12 hours

on a laptop a day is

equal to a pack of cigs.

I guess I, m

not doing well am I?

It'll also give you dick cancer.

Nice.

Oh hey, I saw a new girl moved

into Mrs. Saco's apartment.

It's a girl?

I'd say a woman.

A woman?

She's hot.

Ah hey babe.

Ah I'm just sitting here

over at Tom's.

He Say's Hi.

Hey babe.

Hey babe.

Hey babe.

Hey.

You didn't even see me coming.

This sandwich keeps falling apa.

Next office party,

tell them their sandwiches

need more bread.

Here, let me get...

I have what?

You have something...

Oh get it. Did you get it?

Thanks, I was wondering

where the meet was.

So, how was work today?

Did you get any new clients?

No, some guy canceled a project

so... I lost $150.

But, I'm getting 100 bucks for

fixing a band page

for some high schoolers so...

So I was um...

talking to my friend

Peter today.

Peter? Who's Peter?

A guy from my department.

Peter.

Don't worry.

He's like 50 and has

like 2 kids.

Anyways, I told him about you

and your brilliance.

He has 2 friends that

have a company

that do what you do

but on like a way much

bigger level.

I mean they, they have

these websites and they

design them and program them

for real companies you know.

And uh...

he said if you wantme

or a portfolio

he'd be happy to send it along.

Thank you.

I just don't really think

I need any help right now.

I...

I'm happy.

Okay, I just, I think this

is a really great opportunity,

you know.

You should take advantage of it.

You should take what you know.

Well I'm fine on this step

right now.

I don't have anybody

to answer to,

I make decent money

and I like freelancing.

Yeah, maybe things are

a little slow right now

but It'll pick up.

It'll pick up?

That's all I ever here is.

“It'll pick up.”

News flash,

it wont pick up.

Hey...

Well you can't keep taking

these hits forever.

You know, you...

Things will always be unstable

when your boss is fucking

craigslist.

You know,

I mean you need a stable job.

I mean, even your buddy Tom

who's the only one I've ever met

to get a b.w.i. for drunk

bike riding...

he has a stable job

or two.

Ok, they're sad,

menial, low-life...

Look, look,

This is me you know?

You have to except that.

Well Ray,

it might get kind of hard.



Who's next? You?

You? What do you want?

A dragon with a dog head.

A dragon with a dog head?

Yeah.

I don't know how you

came up with that

but okay I'll draw it.

Dragon...

I need some crayons Sasha.

That's not a dog.

Well it's not a dog head yet.

Hold on. You have to

give me time.

Alright.

You're so impatient.

You just got told by this fool.

I did get told.

A dragon with a dog head.

I'm drawing very quickly.

How you draw fast?

There's the feet,

Uh no.

Look, look, look

the wings, look.

How about bigger?

Bigger?

I'm going to need

another sheet here.

No, bigger.

Bigger is bigger.

Alright, let me make

Alright, Sasha is next.

Hey, you look great.

What's up?

Yeah I'm sorry, I know

it's 7p.m.

What the hell are

your hours man?

Fuck off.

Well I have to.

I fucking promised Gina

I'd take her out

after work.

But I have to give you

the stereo now

for poker tomorrow night.

I'm going to be working late.

I'm hosting poker tomorrow?

Yeah dude

And shit!

I left it in the fucking car.

I'll be right back.

Hi, I'm Colette.

Hi, I'm Colette.

Hi, I'm Colette.

Hi, I█m the super.

Hi, did I wake you?

No.

Oh I'm sorry I um

Nance?

You guys are there already?

No, no I'm coming.

My last run was at 4 so

I had to come home to

change but my stuff

is still in boxes so.

Yeah, I'm going to change

and hop into a cab.

Hold on.

I█m really sorry, um...

Yeah, sure.

Hi.

Uh, going to run upstairs

and I'll be there in 10.

Okay.

Tell me that thing did

not just walk out

of this apartment.

Yeah.

Well not from inside.

Ah.

Well.

Excuse me.

Is this a safe area?

Uh, yeah.

Really?

Well actually.

When I first moved here

there were like prostitutes

right where

you're standing.

And over there

on that corner I think

here was a drug ring.

But that hasn't

been that way in...

in years.

Yeah welling settle?

Hey what's up man?

What part of Friday

don't you understand?

Listen!

Ok, sorry.

Work with me

just a little, please.

It's the only day I have.

I already took off

for the move.

I can pick him up

in the morning.

Let's ask him

for a change.

Hey, you're still in here?

I'm just relaxing.

I actually don't feel very well.

I feel kind of nauseous.

So I've been thinking

about it.

I'm going to get in

touch with that friend

Peter of yours.

Why the sudden change?

I guess it's scary

to prove I'm better

than this but

I know am and

I know I love you.

And

if I get defensive sometimes.

I'm sorry.

Listen, why don't you

come over to my place tonight.

I'll take care of you.

Ok.

Wait, don't you have your um

poker game tonight?

Yeah.

But there will

be lots of girls there.

Will's bringing Gina.

No.

Please don't make me.

Ok, I'll tell you what.

I'll make you a deal then.

If you are not smiling

in the next ten seconds,

you don't have to play.

Deal?

No, that wasn't the deal.

That wasn't the deal.



Ok, everyone good?

Yeah.

Payers.

Three of hearts, three of hearts.

That means I...

What are you going to do?

I check.

That was a good check.I'm.

I'm out. I fold.

No, no, you don't

have to fold yet. You have.

No helping.

He's not helping

he's just letting me fold.

Alright, alright.

Alright, well someone has

to make it interesting.

Yeah, too rich for my blood.

I'm out.

Come on. Don't let him

bluff you out of this.

Come on baby.

Well, your money

is my money anyway

so what can I say.

Um... Yeah. All in.

Let's see it.

What you got?

Trip threes!



My trip sevens!

You probably planned

that all night.

What?

How could I plan that?

Don't hate the p

hate the game.

I hate a lot of things

that you put before me.

Wow.

Maybe that's what

happens when you treat

sex like a chore.

Really?

Baby, I'm kidding.

Awkward.

Um...

should we take a break?

You know what I was thinking?

What?

I feel like the four of us,

you, me Ray and Will.

We should like

one afternoon this week.

Head out of town,

take one of the trucks from work.

Take a mini vacation.

Oh man.

And the reason

I suggest this...

Jump up.

Ready for this?

Oh!

A friend of.

Brian's was staying

and went abroad

so he left it with us.

Shit. Wow.

White Widow.

White Widow?

Yeah, white widow.

Oh man.

I know, right.

It's amazing.

Someone is coming.

Sh, put it away

Oh, that's the

new chick from upstairs.

She lives upstairs?

She is foxy.

Yup.

You better be careful.

Of what?

Please.

I'm gay and

I'd do her.

Alright

I'll try and keep my distance.

I'm not saying

keep your distan

I'm just saying...

Hey!

What's up super?

Colette.

Colette, that's right.

I can't believe you

remember after how

rude I was yesterday.

Oh nah.

Hey,

I'm Colette.

Colin. Pleasure.

Do you live

in our building also?

No,

I'm just a friend.

You want one of these?

Umm, yes.

Thank you.

I'm down to

a pack a week

but if it comes from you

it doesn't count.

Right.

We've got a poker game

going on if

you want to join us.

I'm sure there's a seat,

right tom?

Oh, I still have

work to sort out

for tomorrow

but thank you.

Well,

to meet you.

I'm sure Tom

will keep you company,

I have to get back in.

We meet again.

We meet again.

So, I didn't mean

to run away yesterday.

Ah, no.

It's fine.

I was actually

looking for nails

to hang this mirror.

Nails.

I got nails.

You want a nail?

I'm too buzzed

right now to...

Ah. Here, here.

I'm not drinking

right now,

I was drinking inside.

Oh.

Why is that funny?

What are you laughing about?

I shouldn't have

gone out tonight.

Yes you should have.

It took me

an hour on the subwat

to get home.

An hour.

Well it's the most

beautiful time of the year

I'd say.

Yeah.

It's so romantic.

So what kind of

work do you

have to sort?

I have to

get ready for

prospective buyers

for tomorrow.

I'm in real estate.

Real estate?

Wow.

I mean what

are you doing here?

You should be giving yourself

an apartment on

the upper westside.

I know right.

God, if the world

worked like that.

But actually

I love this area.

I mean.

Our building

has great energy.

Great energy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Actually

this whole row

here was built in 1897.

1897?

By a wealthy family

of doctors.

No way.

How do you know that?

Well Im..

I'm the super.

I have super abilities.

Like super random facts.

Super random facts.

Yeah.

Oh my god

Alright.

So your secret

is safe with me.

Ok,

of the way.

Well,

Who is it?

Ray,

I'm your neighbor

under you.

Oh, hey.

I'm Ray.

Davis.

I took this out

of your smoke alarm

before you moved in

for my carbon monoxide

detector.

I thought you

should have it

back so you don't die.

Ah well,

I already replaced it.

So...

Oh.

Come in.

I don't want

to bother you.

Hey man,

you ain't bothering me.

Want some tea?

Oh, I mean

I'm fine.

I don't want o take

your tea.

Alright.

This is great.

You've got

the biggest apartment

in the building.

Yeah.

Well

I just lost a house.

Oh.

Foreclosure?

No.

No.

The judge let her

keep it.

The uh...

the glass is broken

from the move.

The puncture holes

are probably mine.

That's your son?

Yup.

Six years old.

He's a good boy.

We tried to stay

married for as long as

we could.

Is he here?

She kept him too.

Uh, she's a grade school

teacher with tenure.

You know those judges,

they love that

sort of thing.

Yeah.

Those judges.

Those judges.

Mind if I ask you

a personal question?

You ever think about

remarrying?

You know,

I would have to

do a lot of

healing before I could even

think about dating again.

But...

Who knows?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Sorry I forgot

I have to.

It's my girlfriend.

I'm supposed to

take her to an appointment.

That's good.

You're responsible.

Thanks

for the tea.

Listen,

I hate to run out

on you like this.

No, its's fine.

I got to get my

day started anyway.

Let's do it

again sometime.

Absolutely.

Hey! Tom.

Hey.

Thank you so much

for those nails.

That was so sweet.

Yeah, keep 'em.

I got a collection.

Okay.

You off somewhere?

I do cardio

before work.

You jog?

When I'm late.

Actually, today I'm getting

my exercise bike riding.

I got to go

pick up some hotdogs,

a forty and cigarettes.

Ah.

Well...

don't drink and ride.

Ah.

B.W.I.

Been there

twice.

Never mind.

Okay. Ah...

Hey, that park's

like safe to jog right?

Yeah.

Just beware of the wolves.

They like to prey

on new joggers.



So ah...

This is the loft.

I was

telling you guys about.

Uh...

It's a little...

raw.

As you

can see but...

that can actually

be a really good thing.

You know, cause

you can make it your own.

What do you

guys think?

It's a little smaller

than I was

expecting.

I don't know

if this is quite

right for us muffin.

So uh...

So uh...

So uh...

this is pretty much

the size you're

going to get with

your budget.

In the City.

I want you

I want you

I want you



I want you

I want you

to lead me.

Ok, so now

lead me across.

That is good.

but I want you

to break away this time ok?

Very nice.

Hi.

What's your name?

Hi, Colette.

Give me one second.

Ok, just put yuour stuff down.

Yeah, we just

started class.

This is Davis.

Davis, this is Colette.

Davis, can you help her out?

Yeah.

Awesome, thank you.

Have you

done this before?

No.

Okay.

Um...

Just follow me.

Ow. Uh...

Alright, um...

You got to

lead with your

right foot.

Okay, okay.

Not bad.

Did I see you

jogging in the park

the other day?

Maybe.

I jog.

Are you

following me?

No,

I just moved into the area.

Me too.

Alright, hold up.

'Kay.

This is my

second time.

Okay, good.

I don't feel so bad.

Okay.

Alright.

Quick learner huh?

I'm just stepping.

Alright,

you're doing okay.

I probably should've

stayed home.

Breaking toes is

a bad way to

meet new people.

Let me know if you

need me to

carry you.

Okay but I think

I'll make it.

I'm just down

the block.

Oh yeah? Me too.

Well.

It was a pleasure

meeting you Davis.

You saw the flyer

in our hall.

Top floor.

I didn't know.

I swear.

See you

soon Colette.

You think

You think.

You think

You think.

You think

marriage can be a

good idea

some people?

Like...

Maybe if you're

a Russian chick

who needs a visa.

You think marriage

could enhance

a relationship?



I don't know man.

I've never even

had anything close to

that level.

Why?

That guy Davis,

upstairs,

I met him today.

He just

got divorced.

Really?

I'm surprised.

He seems like such a catch.

He's nice.

We had tea.

Yeah?

He doesn't

that a drug?

I'm thinking

I'm thinking

I'm thinking

about proposing to Jackie

so hearing all that

kind of made

me nervous.

I'm thinking about proposing

I'm thinking about proposing

I'm thinking about proposing

to jackie.

Wait.

Ja...

She's...

she's strong arming you

into

proposing?

Wait, you mean.

Like

marriage?

I'm not being

strong armed.

But...

your apartment is

too small.

No shit.

You're saying

you want to move?

No, I figured I'd

live in this

castle my whole life.

Did you

guys already talk

this over man?

Is this going down?

What about...

Love!?

Isn't that supposed

to factor?

Alright,

you want the truth?

She told me at lunch.

We did it

raw a couple times.

She thought her

birth control didn't...

I took her to

the doctor.

We got into a big

argument that night.

She said she wanted

to keep it if I did.

The more I thought

about it,

I did.

I want to

make this work.

I love her

and I proposed.

Jesus.

Jesus man.

Why didn't you

tell me?

I have hundreds

of condoms

I don't

use.

What the fuck

is wrong with you?

What?

I'm just being

honest man.

You're my friend.

Maybe I don't

need your honesty.

I didn't

ask your opinion.

Mayb I just need

a fucking congratulations or

something.

You think I want

to spend the rest

of my life like this?

Getting

fucked up like

you all day.

Fuck that.

Fuck you.

You are

such a piece

of shit.

Get out.

Get out of

my apartment.

Alright.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

What you need

is advice from someone

who's been there.

Who?

No body.

No body.

No body.

I mean

up till now

I've kind of been the guy

in uncharted waters but

you just sailed

right past me.

I don't even have

enough money for her

birthday. Her birthday?

Fuck her birthday man!

You make less then I did

I did on my allowance

when I was ten.

You should

be at Kinkos right now

printing resumes.

I don't think

I've ever even

used a resume.

I've always

just gotten by.

How'd you get your job?

Can you get me one?

Ah...

Sorry buddy.

It took a lot

of dick sucking

to work my way

up to that dead end.

Dead end?

Yeah, you don't want

my job man.

I make shitty radio commercials.

Deal with clients

I want to kill.

I don't know.

I guess some people like it.

But they're retarded.

Look man,

you've got a chance

to find your own bliss.

You see that

abyss out there?

That's the working world man.

Time to

get off the post college gravy

train, you got a kid coming.

And marriage is...

just make

sure you take some time

to figure it out.

You know, I mean

I didn't know

what a

responsibility marriage

was until Gina

and I got hitched.

Hey Will!

Are we still set for later?

Hey.

Uh yeah.

It's uh 7 right?

Ok, see you at 7.

Alright.

What?

That's uh,

that's Lucy.

Nah,

she's just a

work friend.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

So much.

Again. I...

I grab the wrong

keys this morning.

I'm all over the place.

It's alright.

You look like you use

a drink. You want a beer?

I had a

forty once.

In college.

One day

we should play a little

Edward Forty-Hands.

You duct tape a

forty in each hand

and see who finishes first.

Wow.

Actually I'm more

of a wine girl

to be honest.

An uptown girl.

Ok, we can adapt.

We'll play

Amy Wine-Hands.

Just use wine bottles.

You know

You know.

You know

a lot of dri.

You don't seem

like a drinker.

Do I seem

like a loser?

No, I just mean

you look healthy.

Awesome save, yeah.

I used to be a lot

more fun though.

God, I'm so lame.

Aw,

what happened?

I don't know.

Living with the ex

the last four years

sucked the life

out of me I guess.

Well...

Well...

Well...

Cheers.

To...

New beginnings.

To new beginnings.

You have work tomorrow?

You have work tomorrow?

You have work tomorrow?

No.

Let's chug.

Are you crazy?

Here's to lame.

What!?

You know

I was kidding right?

No you weren't!

Chug it.

Do you

Do you

Do you.

Do you

have a habit

that I am feeding?

No.

I'll grab us

another beer.

Dude, I just

drank a forty.

I can't do another beer.

Hey, what's with

Hey, what's with.

Hey, what's with

all these flyers?

I see them posted

in the hall.

I design them.

A little side job

for local businesses.

Is that why you have

Is that why you have.

Is that why you have

your easel there?

I guess.

Could I look around?

Yeah sure,

be my guest.

How much

How much.

How much

do you draw?

Oh my god.

This is funny.

This is funny.

This is funny.

This is

really funny.

These are great.

You don't sign these?

Yeah...

I don't know.

I don't sell them

or anything.

Its just something

I like to do

when I'm bored.

I dont have cable.

These are

great.

You should

at least sign these.

I mean send

them somewhere,

do something.

Well I uh,

I went to college

for visual arts

and all they kept

telling us was how

hard it is so

I dropped out.

It was all

politics, greed, competition, t.

I figured

if I couldn't escape

that dishonesty

in school,

fuck it,

I don't want to you know,

deal with it

so I dropped out.

I figured I'd rather

keep it as a hobby

and be happy

then loose my passion

getting jaded and bitter.

You know,

keep the sould intact.

Well...

you are not

in college anymore.

So...

Why not

give it a shot.

On your own

terms?

I'm happy.

You are?

Well...

no.

But I'm

not sad.

Ambivalent?

I'm not that either.

Your work

is really honest.



I think the world

needs more honesty.

Um...

Have you seen

Have you seen

Have you seen.

Have you seen

my other shoe?

Oh!

Uh...?

That um...

That wasn't palnned.

It's okay. I don't

mind.

I know you

live in the building. Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, no offense.

You're um, you're a really

cool guy and

this is great to chill

with you but um,

I just need this place

as uncomplicated as possible.

You know, its...

It's my first time alone,

on my own...

Listen.

You don't have to...

I didn't mean to offend you.

I'm a little drunk,

it was a little out of

left field.

I'm sorry.

Why don't you just stay,

finish your beer.

I mean

I'm having a

really nice time with you.

I just wish

I couldn't

have ruined it.

And if you stay

and finish it it won't be weird.

If you leave now

it will be weird.

Stay,

the weirdness will pass.

And we'll chill and have fun

hands off.

Hands off?

I think that...

I really enjoyed that.

Uh-huh

I think that

I did too.

Might have been

a little too spontaneous

for me.

Too spontaneous?

I haven't done that

with anybody since

my ex and I've never

done it with anybody I just met.

Well...

Good cause we

didnt just like meet

at a bar

or something tonight.

Tom.

I'm not prepared

for anymore hurt.

Who say's I'm going

to hurt you?

I'm not like

whatever guys you've...

I'm a girl.

It's different.

Okay?

Uh, okay.

Okay so.

Okay so.

This just entered

like a whole other realm

of feelings for me. I...

This is the first time

This is the first time.

This is the first time

in my life

I feel like I can breath,

you know, and I just

feel like I'm moving

from one situation into

another intense situation.

We haven't even

been on a date.

You haven't even asked

me out on a date and...

You know, it's like...

I see.

Okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Come here.



I have an idea.

Imeant dinner

not breakfast.

Please.

Your apartment

is a time eating vortex.

I thought you said you

don't have work today.

I don't but...

I still like to

get out early,

you know?

Enjoy this

beautiful day,

don't you?

No, I hate mornings.

My circadian rhythm

is different than most peoples.

Your what?

My 24 hour biological

system is different.

I sleep,

get up,

eat,

all different hours.

Wow,

that is one lame

excuse for bad habits.

Are all your friends

as slackery as you?

You mean handsome?

Anybody can change

their habits

if they wanted.

Hey.

Bad.

Well That's odd.

This used to be

the breakfast place.

Wow.

When's the last

time you actually came here?

Last time?

Probably uh...

I don't get out

much around here

during the day so...

What do you

do when you're

not working?

Uh, sleep,

draw,

poker,

eat

smoke...

up.

What do you

do outside of

your vortex?

Probably...

I don't...

I think you're

the most unhealthy

person I've ever met.

Really?

Really.

Come on. ♪

What?

I want to show you something.



I really didn't know

there was so

much to see

in this park.

Mmm

I had a lot

of fun today.

And I would

love

to do it again.

As soon as possible.

It's nice to get out.

Well...

I think

that I saw a flyer

the other day for

a free salsa class

tomorrow night.

Are you asking

are you asking

are you asking

me to salsa?

Why is

that funny?

Because asking

me to salsa is

like asking a bird to swim.

Ducks swim

I want you

to come with me.

Yeah?

Yeah.



Mmm.

Is that a yes?

Yes.



Whoa...

Hey, hey, hey.

Quit knocking like

that man.

Quit knocking l.

I'm sorry.

Hey man.

I...

I can't sleep.

What's the matter?

I messed up.

Come in, come in.

It's 4:30 a.m.

Your apartment

smells like fish testicles.

I'm frying tuna,

wants some?

Is there enough?

I'll open another can.

So today was our

our anniversary dinner.

I didn't realize

till yesterday because I've

been thinking about so much.

Slow down,

slo... slow down.

You want raisins in yours?

Sure.

So...

at dinner I gave

her an I.O.U.

card instead.

You what?

Well I didn't know

hat else to do.

She got me a

watch and said it was

supposed to help keep

me more organized

which is really ironic because

I forgot her fucking present

but I didn't.

I had it! I got her a juicer

at the last minute in Target

cause I know she likes juice.

So you had a present.

No.

That's the thing.

I didn't buy it.

I parked

my shopping cart

outside and then I went into

the bathroom and

took a forty minute dump.

And then

when I came out some

teenagers who saw me go in

were snickering

so I got flustered and

ran out and left the present.

Left the present.

You took

a forty minute dump

in Target?

I couldn't help it!

All I could afford were greesy

hotdogs for lunch.

Now she won't

speak to me.

What the hell

What the hell.

What the hell

What the hell.

What the hell

am I eating?

Tuna with curry and raisins.

I think

I'm going to go

back to school.

This is all like a dream man,

I just want to wake up.

You know what you need?

Tomorrow... we're going to

have fun. We're going to get

away from all this.

Collin left a message.

Is it what I think?

Don't worry, alright?

We're all just going

to go and forget about

life for a bit. Okay?

There he is.

Hey.

Bastards.

Uncle Collin is taking you on

a good old fashioned.

Hot box

surprise!

Yes!

Surprise!

Yeah guys,

this isn't a surprise.

I really thought we were just

gonna like...

I really don't have time

to do this.

Just get in.

If I get busted for

possesion I want to be high.

No one is getting busted

for posession.

Just get in

and enjoy yourselves.

Sit down.

Enjoy.

Ive got everything planned.

Plans are for pussies.

Plans are for pussies.

Plans are for pussies.



How high do I look?

Shh..

Shh..

Shh..

Shh..

Shh...

Shh...

Shut up.

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

You mother fucker!!



This man is

going to have a child

out in the world.

How does

that feel?

How does it feel.

Dad?

Whoa.

Look at him go.

Bye dad.

Bye!

Where is dad going?

I have no clue.

Ray!

Ah, let him go.

I probably shouldn't

have mentioned that.

Thinking about it.

Ray!

He's a big boy.

There's nothing there.

Oh no. There's a

town and there's

a bus stop.

But they're not close.

I am really stoned.

I don't think I can um...

I don't think I can

drive us.

So one of you

is going to have to

do that.

Hey Gnat.

Hey Gnat.

Hey Gnat.

Hey Gnat.

Hey Gnat.

Hey Gnat.

Tommy, nice of you

to answer.

Where the hell you

been all day?

Your phone goes right

to voice mail. Listen, I'm

at the movies with Julie.

I need you to do me a favor.

Yeah, what's up?

What's that beep?

I've got to charge

my phone. What's up?

I need you to go over

to the apartments on Washington.

Apartment 3B.

Lady say's there's a leak.

Oh, Gnat

I'm kind of busy right now.

I have a date in literally

an hour.

Really?

So I guess I

should take that as a no.

Yeah.

I mean

no.

So I guess you're

not on my payroll this month.

And I guess I'm not

paying you as my super

and I guess I'm not paying

you as my handyman either.

Well you know what?

I guess your fucking rent

just sky rocketed.

In fact, I'm going to do

everything humanly possible

to make sure you get

evicted immediately.

How does

eviction sound?

Gnat,

I got it dude!

I'm on it!

You know what Tommy?

I put up with a lot

of shit from you.

Especially when you go M.I.A

for days in Atlantic

fucking City.

You got a date?

Well you got

a whole hour kiddo,

hop to it.

I don't want

anymore chocolate.

Two.

I can make this.

I can make this.

Just call her,

just call her.

I can make this,

just call her.

Just don't call

her, don't ca.

Yeah, Tommy. What's



Yeah, Tommy. What's

Yeah, Tommy. What's.

Yeah, Tommy. What's

the word?

Yo, this is bad Gnat.

There's like water

all over the place.

I think a pipe

burst or something

above the ceiling.

Am I going to

have to pay for

any damage?

Yeah, yeah. There's a

very good chance man.

Listen, is there someone

like really professional that

we can call right now?

What are you talking about?

You're not a professional?

I mean yeah, but

this is a job for...

So you don't know

how to fix this?

You're being rude.

I... I... I mean

I think so.

I would have to

put my hand through

a very soggy ceiling,

pull out a hole,

see what pipe it is,

replace the pipe.

It could be like

three stories up man.

Alright good.

So whatever you

got to do just do it

and fix this shit okay.

The movie is about to

start in a few minutes.

I'll call you when I

get out alright? Thank you.

Gnat, this is like a

2 day job man. I'd have

to like replace the...

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Evening Colette.

Hey Davis.

What are you doing?

Um...

Just waiting.

Oh,

I missed the sign

up for tonight's

salsa, did you?

Oh, I didn't get

around to that today.

I don't think it's

my thing really.

Oh.

That's too

bad.

It's fun. I mean,

thanks for being

a good partner.

Yeah.

Well look,

hey if you're not

doing anything right

now would you mind...

I'm seeing

someone so.

Helping me with

soemthing from my car.

Um...

Um...

Um...

I'm a little embarrassed

right now.

Don't be.

I'm really sorry.

I'm just...

What do you need?

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to fix this

for you.

I just have to

cancel some plans.

You're kiddning me

You're kiddning me.

You're kiddning me

You're kiddning me.

You're kiddning me

Yeah well,

the good thing about

this place is

I don't have to share this

floor with any tenants.

Wow!

I like

Brooklyn.

Look, I got trees out here.

It's nice to see when

you wake up in the mornings.

I was going to put

my bedroom on the

second floor but the problem

is the window is facing

the backyard so I

figured why not here.

Brooklyn's not bad.

It's not bad.

You can have

any 3 of these

you want.

Huh?

You can have

any three you want.

Sorry. Uh...

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

No. Um...

No.

I think someone is

dicking me around here.

I can see that.

I mean look, look.

I bet you thought

your night was going

to turn out a lot different

than it did and I was

just going to stay in,

order in again.

I mean why don't we

finish brining up these flowers.

And go grab some...

I don't

I don't think that's good.

That's okay.

I'll make a good...

You know what

sure, I don't care.

Well, don't sound

too excited.

No...

Yes,

let's go eat.

Sure.

Okay.

I pay for myself though.

This is not a date.

A date.

No.

This is me seriously

making sure so you know

where I'm coming from.

This is one-hundred

and fifty percent

friendly.

Well you know

I was just about to propose

to you but I'm glad

you uh, you

settled that for us.

Sorry.

Just dinner.

Just dinner.

Maybe it's just



Maybe it's just



Maybe it's just



Maybe it's just



Maybe it's just.

Maybe it's just

me but I don't...

Thank you.

I don't know what it is,

I don't know if it's me

being cynical but um, I've

just been finding it really

really hard to connect

with people.

You can't loose faith.

You can't.

It's important to...

keep some kind of

connection with someone

no matter what.

Thank you for this.

It's really hard to find

you know, people to

spend time with.

It's bad luck to

cheers with water.

Sorry, I have

I have to work on the

not drinking thing.

You hungry?

Starving.

Alright.

I never come down here,

I never come down here,

I never come down here,

Wall Street.

It's really beautiful

at night.

I could write a

review for every restaurant

in a two mile radius.

I've worked here a decade.

Almost.

Really?

You don't

You don't.

You don't

look that evil.

That's funny.

Yeah.

I've done some things

I regret, if I'm

going to be honest.

Sure.

I've made

compromises.

What changed?

I want to be

a good father

to my son.

He means everything to me.

What about you?

What about me?

Ok...

we're being honest?

Um...

I'm getting over a

disappointment

named Steven,

My ex.

Maybe I'm just...

really afraid to be alone.

really afraid to be alone.

Really afraid to be alone.

I can't believe

I just said that.

I think we should

do this again some time.

I can't wait.

Gnat, it's Tom.

I stopped the leak

and I fixed the water.

I have to come back

and fix the ceiling.

Okay.

Okay?

What do you

want a medal?

Gnat, I missed a

very important

date for this.

Why don't I let you

in on a little secret there

Tommy.

And I can talk real

slow because you're

probably high.

You didn't do me any

favors tonight, alright?

In case you haven't figured

it out yet, this is

your job.

You did your job.

Congratulations!

Hello?

Yeah?

I'm responsible for your

fucking fuck up?

How about you give

that girl my address and

tell her where to send her

fucking thank you card

cause you would've just

fucked her over even

worse again. You know,

you talk to me like you're

a big fucking child Tommy.

Are you ever accountable? Huh?

Have you ever been reliable

or responsible? For anything?

Huh?

Wake up and

smell the coffee kiddo.

Am I wrong?

Tell me I'm wrong.

No.

I suppose

you're not.

No.

I'm not.

You know...

you may think I'm

an asshole Tommy

and that's fine

but at least I'm

self aware.

My bike?

My bike?

My bike?

My bike?

My bike?



My bike?

My bike?

Thanks again.

You good?

Yeah, I've got

to find a spot.

Bye.



Colette,

I just want to talk

to you for a second.

Just let me

say sorry.

Go away Tom.

I just want to

talk to you

I know I

fucked up. I wanted

to be with you tonight

more than anything

in the world.

I'm sorry.

You sleeping with my

You sleeping with my

You sleeping with my.

You sleeping with my

girl motherfucker?

Stop it!

Steven,

get off of him.

Oh my god.

Steven,

get off of him.

Steven!

N, no, Davis,

Davis,

please that's my ex.

That's my ex!

Davis please.

Davis, please?

Davis, please?

Davis, please?

Davis!

Davis!

Davis, stop.

Davis stop.

You're going to kill the guy.

Davis.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Tommy,

Tommy,

Tommy,

what the fuck!?

Gnat,

I had

nothing to do

with anything.

Don't tell me you

didn't know Tommy.

Don't bullshit me.

I'm an emerging

fucking load right now

because of your friend.

Honey, blood pressure.

Gnat,

He's just some guy.

He deserved it,

most of it.

Deserved what?

What are you

talking about?

Wha...

What are you

talking about?

Your buddy Ray.

That's what I'm talking about.

You don't have too

many buddies, no offense.

What are you

talking about?

Uh. Something else.

What about Ray?

He didn't tell you?

Well, I guess

you don't even know then.

That sucks.

Your friend Ray, your boy,

gave his nights notice

over email, ok?

He's gone,

Adios!

Took all his stuff,

his phones disconnected.

What'd he do?

Murder somebody?

Don't tell me, I don't

want to know.

Alright,

do me a favor.

Make me a couple flyers

like you do that says vacant,

put 'em around the

neighborhood and...

I'll give you

a few dollars, uh...

Fifty dollars

for a a few

hours work.

Oh, and pick up

the rest of that

leak stuff okay?

What's wrong?

You look sad.

Don't be sad.

Let me give you a

little advice that my

father gave to me

and I gave to my son.

Friends, you don't need 'em.

They're not important.

Fuck 'em.

You know what's

important?

Work.

No work,

no dinero.

No dinero,

no chicas.

And no chica,

no chug-a chug-a.

You understand?

Oh,

one last thing.

If you see that

fucking Ray, you tell him

I'm going to bite off

his dick and

stick it in his neck.

Well,

Well,

Well,

he's really

simplified.

Fuck.

He cleaned

the fuck out.

He's with her.

We'd have a hundred

messages from Jackie

by now.

He'll call.

I still remember Ray

wearing underwear on his head,

crowning himself beer pong

king at our house party.

That's Ten years ago.

Yeah, well...

I still remember him

throwing up in a

bathroom at Caesar's

then playing blackjack again

all night.

That was two weeks ago.

I'm happy for him man.

I am.

I can't imagine.

I can't imagine.

I can't even see

you and Gina having kids.

Well...

Christ.

Can you imagine

me in that scenario?

Not really.

Not really.

Not really.

I mean...

I'm just

realizing now what

a fuck up I am.

You're not a fuck up.

No, I am.

It's okay.

You said it yourself.

I'm thirty.

I graduated to fuck up.

My dad was an artist.

A very talented guy.

When I was a kid

I'd watch him at his eisel,

cigar in his mouth.

Just completely absorbed.

There's nothing he

loved more

than painting.

The art world is a

brutal place man.

Somewhere along the way

it broke him.

I watched that

light go out.

I was always afraid

that would happen to me.

Well...

Don't let it.

Easier said

than done, right?



So uh...

Gina wants a divorce.

I'm sorry.

No, it's alright.

I had it coming.

I just didn't see it coming.

When did I

become such a prick?

Colette,

Colette,

Colette,

it's me Tom.

I'm not trying to

scare you here.

Just come out please,

for a moment

so we can talk.

Please?

I know you're there.

This is really awkward.

Hi.

Let me help you here.

Okay.

Let me help you here.

I've made a lot of

mistakes in my life

and I am sorry.

Me too!

Listen to me Tom.

Because I am not

trying to be cruel, okay?

I would like to continue

living in this building

with at least one ounce

of normalcy from now on.

Okay, I understand.

Tom, I need you to

listen to me.

I'm done.

I told you, I

couldn't handle anymore

disappointment.

It was

interesting,

it was brief,

but it's over.

I need you

to go away now.

Tom,

do you understand?

Yeah.

It's not your fault,

it's just the way

that it has to be.

I'm not in a place

of giving

second chances

or first chances to anyone

right now.

I'm about me.

You should

be about you.

Excuse me.



Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I thought you were

throwing this out.

Uh...

no.

Actually...

I'm selling it.

How much

you want for it?

What do you say...

a buck?

What do you say

about...

twenty?

It's really

good.

Thank you.

It's really good.

Thanks.
