you get paid.

Get out.

I thought we were cutting

back on him watching TV?

In a perfect world,

we would be.

TV is saving my life right now.

Hey, that commission...

From Warner...

It's gonna come through.

I've been thinking I could

focus on my gardening.

Build a business

of edible gardens.

I met this couple

at the co-op last week.

They're gonna come by

and check out our garden.

I'm gonna build one for them.

You gotta stop worrying.

You know?

Look...

I don't want you to dismiss

me and my work as worrying.

It's gonna work out.

I'm f***ing exhausted, Daniel.

Come on, swing with me.

There's skid marks on

that underwear.

Warner...

I'll do things the way

you ask from now on.

- You want me to film the children again?

- No.

I'd like you to film

the new exhibit

at the de Young in San Francisco.

It's on the second floor.

I want to see the whole room.

All the paintings, when a

tour is going through.

Okay.

If I have to go to

San Francisco...

I want an advance.

Oh.

Really?

Yes.

I'll pay you $2,000

for the new footage.

I'd like you to shoot it

on Saturday afternoon

and bring it to me

Sunday morning, 11:00 a.m.

Anjelica will give you

half the money now.

Go find her in the kitchen.

Saturday?

You said you would

do things my way.

Okay.

Hey, Anjelica.

Where are you from?

Argentina.

Ah.

I love your country.

The warmest people I ever met.

How long have you worked here?

For a while.

And you do everything?

Most things.

Do you cook for his guests too?

Not many guests come here.

Family?

Follow me.

This is perhaps Edelman's

most reflective work.

There's a loneliness

in this space,

and the sense there's

a change coming.

A transition.

It's one of his

most celebrated pieces.

Sir, you are not

allowed to film here.

Sorry.

This painting...

No!

Good.

Total will come up here.

Gus, you got a spare apron?

I forgot mine.

You can't keep skipping work.

Hey.

Anything else sell?

I can't lower the prices anymore.

I'm sorry.

Can you do me a favor,

and call this Warner guy?

I can't get a commission

out of him.

Yeah, I'll give him a call.

I was thinking maybe, um...

I'm trying some of that conceptual

stuff you were talking about.

Maybe I could get another show?

Danny, I'll look at any

painting that you make.

But right now you need to go home

and you need to get some sleep.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Hey!

Is he asleep?

He's still in the park,

smoking a joint, waiting for you.

It's 10:
30.

Where have you been?

Car got towed.

You couldn't call me?

My phone's in the car.

I'll be right back.

Marco.

Hey.

Hi.

Hey.

Who loves you, buddy?

Daddy.

Yeah, who loves Daddy?

I do.
