when it's just not right

on an indie, you can't...

There's no time,

and so they have to move on.

They don't love you any less,

but it's not gonna work.

Okay, um...

I'll call you back.

Yeah. Okay.

It's okay. Yeah.

Hi.

It's me.

Sorry I didn't text

before I came over.

I just, um...

I was trying not to think

so much about it

and just come here.

Um, I needed to come

and say sorry

about what happened last night

and just, like, leaving

all awkwardly and...

You know, now I'm here.

We can hang out, you know?

Continue where we left off

and maybe even do the...

-Can I come in?

-No.

Okay.

Yeah, I feel...

This is the first place I drove,

you know what I mean?

I was just like, I wanted to...

I'm working on the backyard.

You have to go around.

Oh.

I know I f***ed up.

But I'm here, I'm back.

I wanna stay up 24 hours

with you, 48 hours.

I haven't been able

to stop thinking about it.

We've got to do it.

What was your breakfast about

to make you change

your mind like this?

I had a high protein breakfast.

Normally I just have sugar.

I'm serious.

What changed?

The truth is that

I've never actually

gotten close enough

to somebody to love them.

That's the truth.

So it's just new for me,

that's all.

But that doesn't mean

I don't wanna try.

You know, I felt finally free

for a second last night.

Like I was actually

being myself.

And I just wanna do that.

So when you feel free,

you just run away?

I have, yeah.

-Will you do that again?

-No.

-Promise?

-Yes.

Promise?

I promise.

Okay.

-Okay?

-Yeah.

It's just eight o'clock.

I arrived at...

near 7:
00 p.m.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

And sex every hour. Right?

-Can I touch you now?

-No.

-Hi.

-Hi, hi.

What's that?

It's a song that...

This is the song I want

to sing in the showcase.

-Oh, yeah?

-Yeah.

Just-- You play piano?

Not really, no.

You were playing the piano.

I was just touching it.

You have to help me

with this song.

I know you can. I've heard you.

Okay.

I don't know. I can't...

My ears aren't too good, but...

Mm. Liar. Come on.

Struggling within

Quite a try and truth

Oh, how long it takes

Too high? Yeah?

That's good.

-Okay. So if I...

Come on, do it,

do it with both hands.

Maker of mistakes

I prayed and I felt it

Struggling with this

Quite a try and truth

Like, harmonize?

Oh, how long it takes

It's beautiful.

You have to sing

this song for me.

Okay.

Both of us together,

or aren't you singing?

No, you. Just you.

Okay.

Okay.

Just back from the pill

Trying out a new brand

Oh...

Our costume is so absurd

Underneath the...

New sign

You have to suck this

right out of my body.

Is Sergio

your real name?
