and I had no idea how it

looks like New York and LA

have sucked up all of

the creative people

out of the country, it's

like all the creatives,

all the artists all the pretty people,

they've all moved from

other parts of the country

to LA and New York,

and nobody else exists.

- That's true like totally.

- [Makeup Artist] Like my

family's back in the Midwest,

and they just think I'm

crazy going out in LA

doing makeup, but I mean, they're all

in the medical industry,

you know, doctors,

scientists, so, yeah it's a

whole other world out here.

Do you do a lot of beauty?

I'd really wanna do a beauty

shoot for my portfolio.

- [Susan] Uh, I could be down with that.

- [Makeup Artist] Okay,

okay yeah, I just,

I really need a model

with a good strong face.

- [Man] Ed Haunts.

(laughing)

- [Susan] Totally.

(waves wooshing)

- I had my first shoot yesterday.

- Really?

How'd it go?

- They didn't really

care about the picture

they talked about themselves, that's it.

- Yeah, big f***ing surprise,

they don't care about being creative,

so I don't get why you're

getting involved with them.

- I have reasons.

- Like what?

You're not getting paid,

you're not gonna get

any respect like ever, and

you'll never be young enough,

so you, you're bored.

- No, I like image making.

- You didn't get cool

images, you look like sh*t.

Why are you modeling, really?

- It's complicated.

- I'm sure it is, yeah.

Oh Arthur, I've been an

ugly duckling my whole life

just let me be a swan this

one time, please, please.

- My next job will be better.

In a year I'll be unsignable

so I'll just do this now.

- Why are you running away?

(laughing)

(waves wooshing)

Yeah, drown for all I care.

You're so annoying.

Oh my God.

I get it, I get it.

You can come out now.

- [Man on P.A.] Doors are closing.

- You know, what do you

wanna say f*** you

when you got nothing left.

Nobody wants to f*** me now.

I'm a Vietnam Vet.

Probably did more than five years

and the rest you

motherfuckers all day long.

Nobody wants to f*** you

when you got nothing left.

Why can't people come together?

Get rid of the grub, get rid of it.

Now I don't wanna tell

you how to live your life,

who am I to tell anybody

how to live their life.

I'm just telling what I know.

My son, said he's been with a boy.

When I ask him why he go ahead, he said

I just wanted to see what

it was like with a boy.

When my wife and I were together,

we made babies all day long.

I just, it cost less to keep her.

Less to keep her.

(man talking over P.A)

My stop.

(Skype notification resonating)

- It's 3 a.m. is something wrong?

- Nothing is wrong Irene,

what I need you to do, okay,
