Manhattan Romance Page #4

It's so unfair.

Oh, f*** off. I'm going.

I'll make you your dinner,

madam!

One of these nights,

you're cooking.

In your dreams, sweet cakes.

Oh, my God.

Why do I have to be the mom?

Uh, I think I burnt this.

Well, it doesn't

make a lot of sense

because I have

a really close friendship...

Hey, did you finish

the behind-the-scenes?

Oh, that was the airline thing.

No, before that.

What is that you're working on?

It was nothing.

- No.

- Everybody does it. Show me.

- Really?

- Please. I'm bored.

- What is it?

- It's nothing.

It's this doc that I've been

working on for years.

It's going to be a cure

for boredom,

but if you really wanna

see it, uh, here.

What's it about?

It's about uh,

you know, people's lives

and relationships and... Here.

I started like... I don't...

I... First of all...

I did the camera shake

intentionally.

Yeah, it looks like

a battle scene or something.

To avoid it.

Back-lit.

It's supposed to look bad.

So is she,

is she like mentally ill?

No, she's not mentally ill.

She's just talking about

her relationship history.

Romantic relationships.

Or other kinds. If they don't

have romantic relationships,

then how they, you know,

subvert that emotion

in other ways

and, you know,

just connection, basically.

Highbrow.

Sort of, but I don't know

where it's going right now.

I'm just trying to find

the heart of the doc.

Hey, there he is.

Zack, what's up?

Done by the end

of the day, right?

Yeah, I was just, uh,

I put that in the bin for you.

Is this still H.264?

- Oh, we're great.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, no problem.

- You got it.

Did you start this?

No, not at all.

- All right, uh...

- You got it?

Yeah, I'm on it.

All right. Okay. Thanks, man.

Oh, hey, speaking

of relationships.

You still with that

hot freaky chick?

- Oh, Theresa?

- Yeah.

She is hot.

Not that freaky though.

She's into that

like new-agey stuff.

I mean, with her? I don't know.

Because she's into

open relationships,

so it's a little weird.

- It's perfect.

- Really?

Dude, don't f*** it up

by asking questions.

You're probably right.

Seriously, yeah.

- All right, man.

- I'll see ya.

Relationship rather than

just being myself, so...

I'm uncomfortable,

and I want out.

What?

All right, Mr. Cameraman,

what do you wanna know?

Give me some good stories

about open relationships.

Um, okay.

Um, my primary partner

had his L.A. girlfriend

come in to town once,

and I was going to New Jersey

to stay with my parents,

and I spent the whole day

cleaning and getting ready,

and I bought flowers.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I just wanted it

to be perfect for them.

- Really?

- Yeah.
