Armenian? Argentinean?

Iranian.

Oh, Iranian.

Wow. Iran.

What do you think

of that whole situation?

It's a mixed bag.

A lot of very

good-intentioned people

dealing with some

difficult circumstances.

You get over there

very often?

Yeah.

Actually, I go in the summers

to visit family.

Wow.

Okay, so tell me,

what is the scene like

in Tehran?

I just read this big article

about the underground

hip-hop scene in "Vice."

Yeah.

So, you're part of that?

No. Unfortunately, I spend

most of my time in Iran

watching Disney videos

with my grandmother

while she untangles jewelry.

Yeah, I got myself some coffee.

Do you want something to drink?

No, thanks.

I am buzzed on skunk right now.

Nice.

So, crystal tells me

you are an artist.

Yes.

Yeah, I am.

You're a video artist.

Mm-hmm.

Great.

So, I don't know

what crystal has told you,

but I'm looking for someone

reliable to take over

an afterschool filmmaking class.

It's with a bunch of kids,

and they're really great

and so smart

and, uh, just creative.

And really, all you have to do

is just show them

how to hold a camera.

I can do that, yeah.

So, what is your schedule like?

Completely open.

Perfect.

All right, well,

may I say let's do this?

Okay.

Great.

Don't f*** me over.

Okay.

You told him I was a filmmaker?

You said you needed a job.

How do you know this guy anyway?

He's that investment banker

in my parents' building

I used to hook up with

in high school.

Oh, my God.

He's that guy.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, so he lost his job,

became a stay-at-home dad,

and got into light drugs.

Good for him.

So, do you have a lesson plan?

What is this, Germany?

They're park slope teens.

I could lock 'em in a room

with a half-eaten apple

and a tic tac

and come back

to the "Mona Lisa."

Wh-- why are we stopping?

Oh, I have to take care

of something.

You wait out here.

No, no, no, wait.

Oh, please don't do this.

You said that no amount

of wholesale spelt Sushi

was worth the emotional toll

of being here.

She's here all the time.

They don't even offer

paper bags.

It's surprising how,

uh, lonely it gets

when you're single again,

especially when you live

with someone.

You get so used to their habits

and their lifestyle

and their smells,

but, um, I really

joined the co-op

to spend time with her,

'cause, let's be honest,

it's not the most pleasant

place to work in the world.

But if I really want Maxine

back in my life,

I'm gonna have to do

whatever it takes,

and that means getting back

onto her co-op shift,

and that's where you come in.

It-- it says in your file

that you haven't worked

a shift in four months.

Extenuating circumstances.
