ls this a Jewish gesture?

l don't know.

Beller,

always with the self-hatred.

You're sweating.

l am. Yeah.

Have you been to

one of Eric's seders?

Eric gave trees to lsrael.

Am l not allowed

to joke about it?

No, l know. l'm just

saying, since you said

"less Jewish-looking,"

because most people

think l look ltalian.

And since my mom was

actually Protestant,

l'm not actually

Jewish at all, so. . .

Good to see you.

What are you

doing these days?

You're in New York, right?

Yeah.

Making music?

Haven't played

music in years.

l'm a carpenter,

you know, for money.

But right now,

l'm really trying

to do nothing for a while.

That's brave at our age.

l'm here for a few weeks

at my brother's,

and wanna have

a drink or something?

Um. . .

Sure. Okay.

ROGER:
"Dear Starbucks,

"in your attempt to

manufacture culture

out of fast-food coffee,

"you've been

surprisingly successful,

for the most part.

"The part that

isn't covered by

'the most part' sucks."

FLORENCE:
Hello?

Florence, hey,

it's Roger Greenberg.

Hi.

Sorry, l'm eating.

That's okay.

You wanna have

a drink or something?

Um...

Sure. Okay.

Um. . .

ls there a bar you

know we can go to?

There's one

near my apartment,

but it's pretty lame.

Okay.

lt's in Culver City.

Do you want to

meet me there?

l don't drive.

Those are all

kind of cheesy.

You have the light.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. . .

Do you mind if we

stop by my house?

l left my purse. Sorry.

Do you need it?

l still get carded.

l don't read enough.

l'm such a bad reader.

ls that you?

Yeah, it's one

of the rare times

l was actually

happy around my dad.

Did you do that?

No, that's my niece.

lt's good.

She's four.

l want to have

a relationship with her,

she's just not

that friendly with me.

You want to see?

l got her these

puppets for her birthday.

They might be too old.

They have sticks.

Yeah. l'm sure

they'll be fine.

What do you have to drink?

Um. . .

Oh.

Okay, you don't

want to go to the bar?

lt's Friday.

The bars are probably

full of bridge

and tunnel people.

Or whatever the LA version

of bridge and tunnel is.

Sorry.

l don't really have. . .

There's a Corona Light

and some cheap tequila

someone left here once.

Shall we split

the Corona?

Okay.

(HlCCUPS)

l get the hiccups

when l first

drink carbonation.

Don't worry about it.

l'm wearing kind

of an ugly bra.

lt's like an ACE bandage.

There's no clasp.

Do you hear a train?

ls that a train?

l get kind of nerdy.

Don't worry about it.

Can we take it slow?

l'm sorry,

it's just that. . .

l just got out of

a long relationship,

and l don't want to

go from just having sex
