going to have a ball.

We've got some interviews

and engagements lined up.

Nothing too strenuous, ok?

Alright... I thought this was

gonna be news about "Rebel".

I know this is difficult

for you, Jimmy.

And I wish I had some good news

for you, but, um...

but this is good news, right?

Yeah, it's great. It's really...

That's great news.

Oh, uh...

someone's at my door. I'll...

Can I call you back?

We have the schedule to

talk through, Jimmy.

Yeah, I know...

- I'll call you back.

- No, Jimmy, don't...

You hung up the phone.

Great.

Hey, Jimmy?

Hi, Jimmy, it's Dennis.

Are you there?

I, I flew all the way from LA.

Pier gave me your address.

Jimmy?

What do you mean you haven't

taken any photos yet?

You know how to make

appointments, don't you?

John... I got them

bugging me for proofs.

They're asking me

how it's coming along.

Hey, John, this is not

for lack of trying.

I mean, he's unreliable,

he's evasive,

he doesn't do what we

set out to do. So...

Great. So, you want me to sell

something we can't deliver.

I can deliver. It's coming.

Why do you wanna

shoot him, Dennis?

I mean, what is it that you see?

Just trust me, he's interesting.

When you see the photos,

they'll be interesting.

No.

What is it in him?

There's an awkwardness

I want to capture.

It's, uh...

it's something...

it's something very pure.

You can't fake it.

OK. There...

Be patient now.

This Eugene?

Is it a good show?

It is very good.

Now, you need to find a way in.

You have to let go

of expectations.

Uh, well, that's not

going to be hard.

It's harder than you think.

Well, I appreciate the pep talk.

He's an artist. Isn't

that what you said?

Yeah... Well, I'm a god damn

artist too, John.

Well, that isn't for

you to say, Dennis.

It's for others

to make that call.

I know what I am.

Without a body of work,

you don't know anything.

- Thanks for the vote of confidence.

- Listen...

do you want me to find

something else for you?

No...

Just, uh, just let me

see it through.

OK.

Come on.

Hey there, little man.

OK.

You keep warm now, alright?

Wanna put them on?

How you doing?

Here.

Like your, ah...

like your mittens.

They new?

I'll be back at 4:00,

so drop him off after.

At 4:
00?

Be patient, Dennis.

You're the second person

who's told me that today.

Take him to the park

or something.

You want... you wanna

go to the park?

Sure.

Yeah?

You should come

and visit me in LA.

It's sunny there.

Hey, it's not a toy.

- It's not a toy, buddy.

- Sorry.

Hey, listen, uh...

I gotta get to a meeting.

But I'm gonna be here

for two weeks,

so we'll do some more

stuff, alright?

Alright?

Come when you're done with that.
