we haven't mixed ourselves, so...

Smart.

Come back in the kitchen.

I'll pour it again.

No. Come on.

I can whip up something

more entertaining than that.

Healthy dude, huh?

I try.

Figure I'll live

as long as I can.

Living long is overrated.

What? You don't want

to reach a ripe, old age?

For what?

When I'm 80,

what do I do for fun?

When you're 80 I'll be 98.

Right... and useless to me.

What use do you have

in mind for me?

I knew there'd be something

fun around here.

I mean, other than wa...

I bet these babes

got some dirt on you.

Those are models.

So why are they on your walls

instead of magazine covers?

Here, looking at you while

you know, you do the most

intimate things.

My house is my studio.

When clients come here they're walking

into my giant portfolio.

So, what?

These were all shot here?

Oh, my God.

Okay, you are like

a big deal, aren't you?

I get work.

Isn't that one of those cameras

that gives you the square image?

How do you know that?

I'm a goon.

I just, like, read constantly.

You saw all those books in my bag.

You're not reading now.

I'm not, am I?

Feels good.

Don't fall behind.

We should toast.

Carpe...

omnious.

What's that?

It's my own little toast.

You know carpe diem.

"Seize the day. "

So I figure, carpe omnious.

"Take it all. "

Take it all.

So, like, what is it like

to look through your lens at some...

beautiful woman

who's working so hard

to look good for you?

You know these models.

They all have handlers.

People to make sure

their hair is just right

and their makeup is okay

and they don't get lost

on their way to their next gig.

So you never get

to be alone with them?

- Rarely.

- Poor Jeff.

I am compensated for my troubles.

Don't worry about me.

But I like worrying about you.

It makes me wonder...

What?

No, no. Forget it.

No, come on.

Come on. What's in that

insane mind of yours?

Okay. We'll have another screwdriver

and then maybe I'll tell you.

- I'm waiting.

- Hold on.

You are not keeping up.

What?

Okay, here's where you're supposed

to make it easier for me and read my mind.

You're wondering how many

models I've done it with.

No.

- How many?

- None of them.

- Oh, get out.

- No. They're underage, mostly.

I'd be arrested.

So you're not arrested

for photographing them like this?

I'm very aware

of the legal boundaries.

- I have to be.

- Right. Right.

'Cause secretly...

Secretly...

you would like to do them.

No. There's just one

that I slept with

when we were both younger.

That one?

No out here.

- In the bedroom?

- No...

What's her name?

Hey.

"Janelle. "

Yeah. Janelle.

So, what? What? Was she, like,

the first big girlfriend or something?

    How hard do you think they’ll look for me? (She lets it sink in. Then continues) The police find a pedophile killer all gift-wrapped for them, you really think they’re gonna care who did their work for them? You think they’re even gonna bring it up?

    They never try girls as adults. Sexist but true. Plus I’ll have the biggest legal defense fund you ever saw. If everyone who’s ever been molested sends in just five dollars, I’ll be able to afford any lawyer I want. The worst, absolute worst case scenario? I do two years community service with psych evaluations, and Jodie Foster directs the movie version of the whole thing. (a beat) Who do you want to play you?
