- My life is not unpredictable.
- Life is as much a dream
- as it is a nightmare.
- My life is conventional.
- My life is boring.
- No.
It's as random
as it is deliberate.
You know, as funny
as it is tragic.
Yours is no exception.
I got to piss.
Dinner parties were
Judith's safety blanket.
A tableful of artists
took her mind off herself.
The swirl of distraction,
seating plans,
gossip, food...
anything
to keep away the dread.
They were the perfect antidote
to her childhood dinners.
The silences,
the drunken outbursts.
Artists came to New York
from all over,
and she always took them in,
clinging to the illusion
of an open, happy family.
Do you miss getting mugged
on central park west
- Exactly. Exactly.
No, but I do miss
the 2nd Avenue deli.
- Uh-huh.
- I miss the lenox lounge.
I mean, do you know what are
Urban outfitters,
- a Starbucks...
- Star...
There's a John Varvatos
where cbgb's used to be.
New York's lost its soul.
What was that, Thomas?
Well, I was just agreeing
with David
that New York
has lost its soul.
Ever since he returned
he's decided to hate
where he's from.
No, it's true.
New York's most vibrant
neighborhood at the moment
is Philadelphia.
That's very funny, Thomas.
So, uh, Ethan, I heard that
you've commissioned Nick bilton
to write the biography
on Evan douriff.
Our mandate at kenta
is very simple...
as long as they're still
within their 15 minutes.
Self-help, political rants.
And once a writer.
- So cynical, Ethan webb.
- -I know. -
if I were a writer, we'd be
having this conversation
in a two-bedroom in bushwick.
Oh, that's true.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm serious.
I'm really serious.
I mean,
they don't earn enough money
to support themselves.
- True. -No matter
how talented they are.
That's why if Thomas came to me
with a desire to be a writer,
well... I'd talk him out of it.
So, you're still
tutoring, right?
Yeah. Just for some extra cash.
- He could be a Spanish teacher.
- Yes, he could.
I don't know if I could be
a Spanish teacher.
If he went back to college
for a year.
For some reason,
he refuses to do it.
He lives on the lower east side
without any direction.
The only thing missing
is an opium habit.
What about
doing a smartphone application?
This man moved in
across the hall from me.
I don't know what he does
or who he is, but...
He's my new friend.
- Aw.
- Yeah.
- Me?
