Nobody Walks
1
Listen. Um,
I had a great time sitting
next to you on the plane.
Silver Lake, right?
[ Girl ] Every morning,
as I drive away,
I am reaching back for you.
It is a helpless feeling,
this wishing, this wanting,
this knowing you will arrive...
just minutes after I have gone.
Well, I thought that
was really freakin' good.
[ Woman ] All right. All in favor
of including this piece...
in our spring issue,
raise your hand.
Nearly unanimous.
And our author, Kolt.
Congratulations.
Thanks, dude.
Hi.
Hey.
- Um, hello. I'm Martine.
- Hello.
Hey. Hi.
[ Chuckles ]
I'm Peter.
Let me grab this for you.
Come on in.
Thanks.
Julie can't wait to meet you.
What's making you feel
so powerless?
I'm way too afraid
to even approach a woman...
that might be on
my intellectual level.
I know what you're gonna say.
It's not 'cause
Okay.
Why is that?
You know, a lot of smart women
think too much to look good...
and talk too much to f*ck well.
I feel like such an asshole
saying these things to a woman.
I do get what
you're saying, actually.
'Cause the movie
comes out this week.
Everyone's acting like I'm supposed
to be excited, but I fucking hate it.
And I wish I could say it looks nothing
like the script I handed them,
but they didn't change
a goddamn line.
I just wrote something
that isn't very good.
We're gonna need to stop.
[ Groans ] Don't do
this to me, Julie.
I will see you on Wednesday.
There's a lot of life that'll come
out with the sound. There's...
You know,
like the bug's footsteps,
or maybe his breath.
You know, what would it sound like if
you could hear the bug's heart beat?
Or, like, heartache.
[ Chuckles ]
You know?
Yeah. All right.
I think this'll be fun.
Yeah.
I'm really excited.
Thank you so much for putting
aside time to do this with me.
Absolutely.
So you're working on, like,
I am, yeah.
They're not picture-locked yet.
So you're in luck.
Hey, Peter, is this a
take-from-the-fruit-bowl night?
Martine, this is Kolt.
Kolt, Martine.
[ Martine ] Hi.
Hey.
What is a
take-from-the-fruit-bowl night?
Oh, it just means that everyone's
on their own for dinner.
Nobody's taken responsibility
as of yet.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Peter ] That's a maybe?
Hey, David.
Oh, hey, Kolt.
Hey.
I'm just getting out of here.
Crazy plans?
Just finishing up
some things for Peter.
How about you?
Lots of homework?
Not really. I already did this
history thing that's due Friday.
Well, it's good
not to procrastinate.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah.
Procrastinate.
Oh, yeah. Of course. I'm giving
you advice I can't take, so...
[ Kolt Chuckles ]
Eating bark in a tree.
Slow or fast?
Fast.
Wind, and also sand
blowing in the wind.
Sounds that only ants hear.
Ah, need to be more specific. You know what?
We'll come back to it.
Okay, gasping.
Sticky stuff.
Bowling pins.
Blood on pavement.
- Got it.
- Really?
Hey, come on.
An old train.
Okay. Um, bodies rubbing
up against each other.
Okay.
Yes. But not like, "Uh, uh, uh."
Okay.
Good to know.
[ Chuckles ]
Hi, Dad.
Hey, bud.
Hey.
Hi.
[ Julie ] Is she coming to eat?
Where is she?
Jet lag.
Is it gonna work out?
I think so, yeah.
She's really sweet.
Good.
I think
Hey, who is in the pool house?
Her name is Martine,
and she is a friend
of my friend Miriam's,
