Query (2020) - full transcript
A leisurely day belies its uninvited end as Jay and Alex, best friends and roommates, challenge one another on their opinions of sexuality.
- No, I don't think it's
conditioning at all,
like I've literally been into girls
since the first time I
remember seeing titties.
- Yeah, but how do you know
that that came from you?
Are you sure you weren't just
conditioned to like them,
because your mom and dad
were out there showing you
what the societal norm was?
- No, I just think that my penis pointed
in a specific direction,
and I followed it.
- You're an idiot.
Okay, what's a four
letter word for unwritten?
- Oral.
- You're not a complete moron, after all.
- Yeah, respect me, son.
Put some respect on my name.
- How do you not remember this?
Back in the day in like ancient Greece,
wait this controller, the
controller's sticking.
They didn't associate sexual
relations with binary labels,
bro, I can't,
I can't with this controller
- Hey, don't break my shit.
- I'm not.
What was I saying?
- Something with the labels.
- Right, right.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Spartan men, Spartan warriors
would like straight up bang each other
before they went into battles.
It was like a bonding thing.
- Bullshit.
- Okay, well you're in the same
ancient history class as me.
So I don't know if
you're not listening or--
- No, I'm too busy getting sloppy blowies
underneath the desk.
- Oh, for sure, for sure, for sure.
'Cause I'm a badass.
- Jackass.
- You want to go again?
- Yes, I want to go again.
No, don't get me wrong,
I obviously understand
why men can be attracted to other men.
I'm not homophobic to
the bros, bromophobic.
- Nice one.
- Thank you.
But I'm just saying like I
can differentiate between
like seeing a handsome dude
and objectively thinking,
oh that guy is good looking
and then conversely seeing a woman
and thinking, I want to get
her pregnant on purpose.
- You've always had such a way with words.
- Thank you.
- No, you're the cutest human.
- Not true.
- I've literally never
seen a human--
- Hey, you ready?
- Yeah, okay, all right baby,
we're gonna go get something to eat
but I love you, I love you so much.
- Hey Olivia.
- [Olivia] Hi Jay.
- Hi, I love you more.
I love you more than Alex.
- That's not true.
- Say that you love me more than Alex.
- Don't say it, don't say it.
- [Olivia] I love you.
- That's unbelievable.
- So basically you're saying
we should all be like dogs in the park
just smashing everything
that comes around.
- Can I get some of that?
- Hey, what's up, Jim?
- What's up, fellas, party tonight?
- Backgammon.
- Man, no wonder no one likes
you in this neighborhood.
- Yo, I just, I find it interesting
that in some cultures
it wasn't as stigmatized
as it is today.
Hey, don't drop that.
- [Both] Whoa.
- Like look, I think that society
has had a profound impact
on the way that we think about
and metabolize our sexual instincts.
- Yeah, I don't know, it feels
really cut and dry to me.
- Well yeah, that's
'cause you're a puppet.
- Oh word?
- You're a pawn in the system.
Throw it.
- No, this is precious cargo,
you're gonna drop it.
(fizzing)
- Don't waste it, don't
waste it, don't waste it.
You play a really
unsophisticated game, Jay.
If you keep making those same mistakes,
I'm just gonna keep pouncing on your ass.
It's all right.
You want to go again?
- Let's kiss.
- What's that?
Quit fucking around man.
(laughing)
Kill you.
- What?
You've been going on and
on about this all day.
Let's get to the bottom of it.
- You serious?
- Why not?
- A few reasons.
A, I have a girlfriend,
so technically I'd be cheating.
- Don't agree with that.
- B, you're not my man type, sorry.
- Ow, that hurts.
- And C, we've been best friends
since we were like 11 years old
so this is just a weird,
it's a weird thing on all fronts.
I'm not gonna--
- Dude, okay, dude, after
you fucked that girl Emily,
you told me that she looked
like a Yugoslavian hit
man, those are your words,
I know for a fact that I'm cuter than her
and besides, I've made out
with so many of my friends that are girls,
it's not weird at all.
It's like eating a peanut butter sandwich.
Like I don't love peanut
butter but I'll eat it.
And according to you,
this is a similar transaction.
- You seem pretty cavalier
for a guy that's been putting
up such a fuss all day.
- No, I haven't been fussing.
I just think it's a simple thing
that I know the answer too
but you made some compelling points
and I'm willing to test your theory.
Plus, I'm schwasted.
- So like now?
- You want me to buy you dinner first or?
All right, let's forget this.
It's stupid.
- No, no, no,
no, you know what man, no, you're right,
you're right, you're right.
I'm down if you're down.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- All right.
- All right, let's go.
- Let's do it.
Let's go.
- We should flip a coin first
and two out of three.
Two out of three, we'll do it.
- If we're not feeling
it, let's not force--
- It's not that I'm not feeling it,
it's not that I'm not feeling it, man,
it's just that if I go in for it
and you pull away,
then you will literally
never let me live down.
- I'm not gonna pull away.
Let's just go let's go.
- You're dead serious?
- Yes, shit, yes, let's do it.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Tongue or no tongue?
- Dude, you know you're stressing me out,
let's just kiss,
just kiss the way that you kiss.
- My bad, my bad.
Okay, I'm gonna use tongue.
I'm not, I'm not, okay.
- Just get closer.
- Yeah.
(phone buzzing)
Oh shit.
Hey, hey baby.
Why are you calling me about
cutting your bangs right now?
No yeah, babe,
her face is just shaped
differently than yours.
I don't know what to tell you.
No, I'm not saying
that they wouldn't look good on you,
obviously they would look good on you
but it's just,
oh okay, so baby, I know that this feels
like world changing right now
but is there any way
that we can pick this up
like tomorrow or?
Great, yeah, thank you.
No, look, they'll look great,
you'd look great with them.
I want you to do it, okay.
All right, bye baby.
- You want a?
- I think I'm still good.
- Okay, all right.
- You want to go again?
