You're finding out who you are,

and that's a legitimate place to be.

What are you thinking right now?

I think that this...

extremely wonderful sales pitch

that you're giving to me...

about how you might be able to help

my life or help me discover myself...

might possibly, I don't want

to offend you, but might possibly be...

an intelligent ruse to see

whether I'll f*** you.

You are absolutely and completely

and totally wrong.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I don't believe it.

You're right.

If you're making me admit something,

I'll make you admit something.

And you did. You're partially right.

The thing is,

it is a side benefit, maybe.

What I'm really interested in is...

can I be of use

in some interesting way...

to somebody who is on a journey?

I like to feel connected to people

who are young. That's why I teach.

And it fascinates me to take someone

who is smart and lovely...

and just starting out in life

and to be part of that journey if I can.

That's lovely, if that's the intention.

I would be grateful for that...

because I'm looking for that in my life.

I'm not looking for mentors who are

looking for something sexual from me.

Okay.

Then we'll have a great relationship.

Great working relationship, yeah.

- We'll start next week?

- Okay. Thank you.

I cannot believe I allowed...

you three to talk me into this.

You should be home

grooming yourselves.

Instead you're getting all messed up

and disheveled.

Can we talk about this later?

Okay, but I'm not introducing you

to Damon...

if you're not crisp and neat and clean.

I'm not going. Okay?

Are you okay?

- You're Lori Singer, right?

- Yeah.

- I thought I knew you from somewhere.

- I'm Vera. I love your work.

Thank you.

I've enjoyed it.

I liked you in Short Cuts.

Thank you.

It's wonderful working with-

Was that your boyfriend?

He's a friend of mine.

A very good friend.

This is unbelievable.

Look, there's no way...

you're meeting Damon today.

Your feet and your knees...

are muddy.

Your clothes are wet.

I love the right cheek...

of your ass.

What about the left one?

It's good with your right cheek.

It's perfect.

So what do you do?

I'm just searching,

walking around and searching.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I haven't quite figured it out yet.

What have you been up to?

Actually, I'm going to work

on a Woody Allen film.

- You are?

- Yes.

- He's great.

- Yes.

That's cool.

Have you worked with him before?

Just spoken with him about a number

of things. And I like his work a lot.

- Nice.

- So I look forward to that.

Fun, fun. So you're still doing films?

You're still acting?

Yes. And I've got a couple of concerts

this summer and-

- Concerts?
