The Incredible Jessica James Page #3

I don't know,

Tasha thought this would be good for me.

To help me get over this guy

I thought I was in love with.

But, to be honest, this whole thing

is making me think of him more intensely.

Oh, yeah? How so?

I'm just really reminded

of how much of him you're not.

Cool.

I mean, I get it.

Um...

You are the complete opposite

to my ex-wife.

What is she? Dumb, short, and fugly?

What I meant was...

compared to her, you are much more...

forthright.

Honesty is, like, the only thing

that matters to me.

Oh, yeah. I believe in honesty.

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

So, can we be totally honest

with each other?

Absolutely.

Why are you here?

Well, it's been a little while

since my divorce. Bleh.

And I thought if this went well,

then we could make out later.

You just want to make out?

Why did you say that you think

you were in love with your ex?

I don't know. It's complicated.

We were together for two years,

and then he just sort of gave up on us.

I'm sorry. That must be rough.

Why did you get married?

I think I was in a hurry

to get on with my life.

What went wrong?

I'm still figuring that out.

But I'm pretty sure it was her fault.

You have a great smile.

What's your go-to karaoke song?

I do not care for karaoke.

Really? Boo, dude.

You're booing me when I'm being honest?

You're right. I'm sorry. That was rude.

How do you pay your rent?

I work at a non-profit in Hell's Kitchen.

I teach public school kids how to write

and produce their own plays.

So, how do you pay your rent?

I, uh, I live in deep Bushwick.

Like, deep, deep, deep Bushwick.

What about you?

I invented an app.

Thank you.

Okay, well, thanks. This was interesting.

In, like, an anthropological way.

I'm gonna take that as a compliment.

Oh.

Yeah, I guess you could.

Look, I don't want to disappoint you

or anything, but...

I don't think we should make out.

Don't worry. I gave up on that idea

halfway through the meal.

I enjoyed being honest with you.

- That's the only way to be, so...

- All right.

Well, good night.

Oh, we're hugging. Good night.

- Are you going this way, too?

- Yeah.

That's awkward.

I wouldn't say this is any more

or less awkward

than every other part of the night.

That's funny.

You're funny.

Yeah.

I'm also good at cunnilingus.

Well, that's good to know.

So, which way do you go now?

What?

"You can talk, but no one hears you."

You can see, but can't be seen.

Nothing you do matters to anyone.

- "It feels like you don't exist."

- Wow.

That was amazing.

That was really well put.

Shandra, do you feel like that a lot?

I don't know.

Has anybody in this room

ever felt like that?

Raise your hand if you have.
