and just sleep?

Uh, is that my only option?

- Maybe tonight, yeah.

- Tonight it is.

All right, awesome.

Let's sleep.

You're that tired?

- I am.

- Oh.

Mmm!

I need to do some dreaming.

- Some dreaming?

- Yeah.

All right.

- Will you turn off the light?

- Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

That's good.

Well, all right then.

Good night.

Good night.

Blessed dreams.

Blessed dreams to you too.

Why do you torture yourself

with these women, Danny?

Is it just for the film?

Is it worth it?

It's about the film,

but she's a nice person.

The film is just an extension

of where I'm at lately.

And yeah, maybe I'm getting

a little involved with her,

but it's sort of

part of the work.

Right, but it's like this

girl's got your brainwashed.

If she doesn't wanna

have sex, then...

suddenly you

don't wanna have sex.

Obviously I would like

to have sex more than I do.

I think you're better

than this situation.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate you saying that,

but I feel more connected

sometimes

when we don't have sex.

But I know what you're saying

because at the same time,

there's like...

I would really like to get...

Your cock sucked?

It might be nice.

This is what I'm saying!

There comes a time

when, you know,

every woman knows

you gotta suck a cock!

How would you know that?

'Cause I've done it before?

You've sucked a cock.

Yeah.

When was this, and how come

I didn't know about it?

My man days.

You know about my man days.

No, I don't. You had man days?

- Does Emmy know about it?

- Yeah.

She does?

And she's cool with it?

Well, she can't

do much about it.

They came before her.

That's amazing.

I mean, it doesn't surprise me.

I've seen you with men,

and I've thought like,

"For a lesbian,

she's very flirty with men. "

No, I'm just kidding.

- I'm kidding.

- I have to open the studio.

If I pull down with two hands,

it's a fumble!

You should actually

have a relationship

instead of making movies

about them.

It's so boring!

I mean, what did

Woody Allen say?

He said, "I can only live

in my art, not in my life. "

And I totally relate.

- What?

- It's so f***ed up

that you're taking life advice

from Woody Allen.

I'm not taking

life advice from him.

I'm just saying I relate.

I don't know. I think

I just like being alone.

You gotta stop

saying that, dude.

- Why? It's true.

- I know it's true,

but when you say that to girls

when they first meet you,

they think you're a weirdo.

- I am a weirdo.

- No, you're not.

You're not a weirdo

because you like to be alone

some of the time.

That's totally natural.

Everybody feels like that.

I just like being

in my day, you know?

- That's great.
