and after three years,

I find out

it was a waste of time.

So it was so f***ed up.

Like, why I spent

three f***ing years

of my life with this a**hole?

Right.

So Susanna one day

said to me,

"You know those kind of couples

that they spend, like,

ten years together

and then they get married?

They divorce in one year."

-Right.

-So just get married

right away.

Yeah, do everything you want,

the second you want.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

I mean, you just get, like,

nervous thinking about it.

-before you do it.

-Exactly.

Just go and have fun

with the things

you have right there.

Yeah, like this.

This whole night.

We should do this

for, like, 24 hours straight.

-Like you and me?

-Yeah.

Eating chips, drinking juice.

-Yeah.

-Having sex.

Let's do it.

-Now?

-I wanna know you, for real.

You got four hours

out of me so far.

I want 24 hours.

And I wanna come with you

every hour.

Hmm.

Isn't it amazing?

It's like dating ten years.

Yeah, we're gonna get

to go to the bathroom.

Sometimes I'm an hour

in the bathroom.

-I want to see you

taking a sh*t.

-Yeah.

I want to see you

getting angry.

We can do it.

We can f***ing skip time.

Um, yeah.

I just have to work on Monday,

so we can't...

We can't...

Actually, you know what?

For your art,

to be busy with life,

it's the best thing

you can do.

I know. But I feel like

our whole bodies

are gonna be

outta whack by then.

It's the biggest job

I've ever had, so it's just...

-I can help you.

-I have to...

I practice alone.

It's embarrassing.

I can't.

I just can't.

It's a fun idea, though.

But...

Next time.

Yeah.

Instead of going

through the format

of regular dating,

and faking it,

and texting and stuff,

you know, it'd just be, like,

we would just be there

all the time.

I kinda think

it would be an amazing way

to get to know somebody.

Hmm.

I mean, I think I was realizing

I was, like, I haven't...

said yes to anything

in so long,

especially with somebody else,

because, like,

no one is even close

to her.

It's like she lives in a way

that she doesn't question

anything about herself.

And when I was around her,

I didn't either.

You should ask her

to go get some coffee

-tomorrow morning and just--

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, it's my manager.

-All right, let's go.

I'm starving.

-Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, wait.

It's transferring--

It's transferring

to a car coordinated--

Hello? Hey.

Are you there?

-Yeah, yeah.

Sorry. So, what were you saying?

Maybe I'm...

Maybe I'm soft-pedaling it

for you,

but they're gonna replace you.

What?

I know. I feel horrible.

I know you were

so excited about this,

and, you know,

sometimes on the first day,
