Pretty impressive.
Thank you.
Miguel speaks very highly of you.
He's a great guy.
You worked on the Puerto America?
Yeah, just one floor.
So, Troy, you definitely have plenty of credentials...
Why LA? Why us? Why now?
Well, to be honest,
as much as I love it there,
it's not home.
I grew up in the valley, so California is home for me.
I've heard a lot about you back in Spain.
I like your work.
I think you're provocative and challenging,
which is exactly what I'm looking for.
We get this one person just like you, about a year ago.
Wanted to move back here from London.
Real bright kid, looked promising...
Three months and he was back in London.
Look, I completely understand.
But I can tell you that I really like your company
and I think we can work well together.
I don't see this as a fad.

[phone rings]
[beep] Hey! Can't come to the phone right now.
Please leave a message.
Hi. This is a message for Jonathan...
It's Troy.
Blast from the past, huh?
I'm calling because...
Well, I'm back in town, and I--
Hello.
No. It's Raul, his boyfriend.
Troy...
Yes, I've heard a lot about you.
You could say that.
No, he's not here at the moment.
Sure... No problem.
Hold on a sec.
[fan whooshes]
[music with Middle Eastern feel plays]

Hi!
Sorry I'm late.
I was beginning to worry.
Oh, yeah? That I wouldn't come?
No, that something happened.
Uh, no, I'm fine... I just decided to walk.
Oh.
God, I haven't been here in ages.
Really? Why?
Well, it's not in the neighborhood anymore.
Oh, that's right. You moved.
Where are you now?
We live in Silver Lake.
[slightly scoffs]
Well, you look good.
Thanks...
You too.
I'm glad you got my message.
I wasn't sure if I...
I don't know.
I'll always be happy to see you, Troy.
You know that.
Oh, no. I don't smoke anymore.
You don't?
Nope. I quit two years ago.
Really? Wow.
But you can smoke though.
No, it's OK. I shouldn't be anyway.
So, where are you staying? At your brother's?
No. At Josh's, in Venice.
Remember him?
I remember the place.
He's out of town so he left me his keys.
I probably still have a key.
Uh, you here for work?
Vacation?
I'm not sure, actually...
I, uh, was feeling homesick, I guess.
You're still in Madrid?
No, Barcelona now.
I thought I'd come back
and check things out for a while.
So, Raul, huh?
- Yeah. - And you live together.
He's coming to pick me up, so you'll get to meet him.
And I look forward to it.
Are you seeing anyone?
No.
Really?
How come?
I mean someone like you, I thought you'd always--
Stop. I hate it when people say that.
I don't know...
I'm a perpetual bachelor, I guess.
It's my calling in life.
Besides, you put a curse on me, remember?
- No, I didn't. - You did too.
You said, "I hope one day you fall in love, non-reciprocally.
Then you'll understand."
- Come on, stop. - What?
With the sugar!
I can keep some addictions, can't I?
Yes, you can.
[footsteps approaching]
Mmmm...
Hey, handsome.
This must be Troy.
You must be Raul. Good to meet you.
Likewise.
Do you want to sit?
That's OK. We should go, actually.
I double-parked.
- The Vespa? - Yes, the Vespa.
There isn't any parking around here.
We can do this again some other time.
I'm sure we'll see each other again.
Yeah, definitely.
Oh, let me---
Don't worry about it.
- You sure? - Yeah.
All right.
Call me.
Definitely.

[radio plays] 92 degrees and climbing
here in downtown LA. Good morning!
*
10 minutes after 9 in a city touched by Satan,
or scorched by global warming!
It's so hot out there, my cat is only eating ice cream.
It's so hot out there there was a guy spotted
riding his motorbike in his underwear on the 405!
[hits Snooze, radio clicks off]
...the fifth consecutive day of this stifling heat.
I hope you've got air conditioning!
Maybe we should give them away on our show--
[phone rings] Hi.
OK, uh...
Give me the address again.
[baby crying]
I think he wants you.
He's not usually like that.
[baby stops crying]
Mom called, by the way, looking for you.
I told her you'd be here later.
I'll give her a call.
Where's Lynn?
At work.
This is your Uncle Troy...
Hey...
Yes, it is.
Have a look.
Look at you. You're so domestic.
I leave you for a few years,
you come back and you have a family.
I know.
You should try it some time.
I don't even know where I'm living tomorrow.
- You're still lookin'? - Uh huh.
I am!
Look at this...
So you're really serious about this, moving back here?
Yeah, maybe.
*
So, I did the ex-files last week.
*
Who?
Jonathan.
What happened?
I called him.
Oh... OK...
And we went for coffee...
And then he came over. It wasn't planned.
- I see. - Don't judge.
I'm not... I'm listening.
Oh.
We started making out.
And then all of a sudden... he just stopped and left.
And I haven't heard from him since.
What about Miguel from Barcelona?
Eh, we just sleep together.
Oh.
Hey!
I told you we'd see each other again.
I didn't know you bartend.
Sometimes...
Helping a friend. It's his bar.
And it pays the rent.
I'm Raul.
Oh, sorry. This is my friend Devin.
Nice to meet you.
What can I get you boys?
Vodka tonic.
Jim Beam, on the rocks.
That's my drink.
He is hot.
Yeah. He's also Jonathan's boyfriend.
- Jonathan has a boyfriend? - Yep.
Oh...
They live together.
Jesus, Troy...
When did you meet him?
Same day I met up with Jonathan.
He came to pick him up.
Did you do a three-way?
Funny, really funny.
Here you go.
Don't worry about it.
You sure?
- Yeah, I'm sure. - Thanks.
So what brings you guys here?
Uh, we just had dinner
and I thought we'd stop for a drink on the way home.
Are you staying in the area?
No. I'm staying in Venice.
Oh yeah... At Josh's.
I heard all about that place.
It's where you and Jonathan used to hang, right?
Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
I think it's great that you guys are finally hangin' out.
It helps heal things.
Plus I've always wanted to meet you.
That was, like, kind of awkward.
I'm gonna go home.
No, no, no!
Michael wants to see us.
[driving, club music plays]

[waves gently lapping]
Hey!
So I think I got a new job...
We should celebrate.
Oh!
Uh, what gallery?
OK...
Yeah, maybe.

(Radio announcer) It's 92 degrees and climbing here in downtown LA.
Good morning.
10 minutes after 9 in a city touched by Satan
or scorched by global warming!
It's so hot out there my cat is only eating ice cream.
[funny horn honks]
It's so hot out there there was a guy spotted
riding his motorcycle in his underwear on the 405!
[funny horn honks]
The 405!
We're heading toward a high of 102 today.
Not a cloud in the sky,
but a fuzzy haze as we enter the fifth--
I can't breathe.
I know... The fires.
No, we need A/C.
Then get one.
It's your apartment.
You're working from home today?
Yeah.
So why don't you look for an air conditioner?
What!?
Nothing.
How was your meeting with Troy?
Weird...
I mean, you were there.
OK.
He's Troy, you know.
Yes, I know.
You look nice.
Thanks.
Meeting my immigration attorney.
Oh, right...
Good luck.
[dishes, utensils clanging]
[microwave beeps]
(answering machine voice) Saturday, 8:12 AM.
(male) Hi. This is a message for Jonathan.
It's Troy...
Blast from the past, huh?
I am calling because I...
*
Ah, he's here at long last!
We're having a little private little party.
I can see that.
Long time no see.
I know.
We're just passing by and we thought we'd get a drink.
One drink.
And they kept coming like this.
[cell phone ringing]
The owner is a friend of ours.
We know!
(Devin) Hello?
Hey, bitch, what's up?
[quietly] You're coming from work now?
Yeah...
I had a deadline.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
Why?
You left in a hurry last week.
I left because it was the right thing to do.
What do you mean?
What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?
It sucks that you have a boyfriend.
Why? What would have happened?
(Devin) OK. See you there.
Michael wants to meet up with us later.
Oh...
I guess we...
*
We should all hang out some time,
have dinner or something.
Yeah, definitely.
Cheers.

Can you get me that ashtray?

Cute.
[rhythmic pecking]
[notification ding on computer]
[yawning]
[keyboard clicking]
[rhythmic pecking]
What's up?
Tell him you can't.
Yeah?
[ding]
No, no.
Hey.
[whispers] Oh, my God.
Yeah, I got 'em.
Look, I don't know. I don't think it's...
That's not what I should be doing with you, Troy.
No.
When?
What time?
Fine... OK...
I will meet you.
See you then.
I need help.
I'm trying.
You, um...
Everywhere.
- No. - No?
- I did get it. - You did not.
Would I lie to you?
Hi, I'm Lisa.
I'm Troy.
So sorry I'm late.
I'm trying to run around in this heat.
It's not working very well.
The owner just redid the whole place.
Really, it's all new.
You don't find a lot of this around here.
He lives in Florida,
so he won't bother you guys very much.
Who takes care of the place?
The manager. He's great.
What's the parking situation?
You get one space with the rent in the back,
and there's street parking, no permit needed.
So one of you can park on the street.
And it's available immediately?
Yes. They just need to finish painting.
I can have it for you on the first.
You're the second person I showed it to.
What did the first person say?
She liked it.
Washer and dryer?
In the basement.
And how much is this again?
$2000.
Jesus.
But between the two of you that's only $1000 a piece...
Not bad.
Since when did LA get to be so expensive?
You don't have to take it.
But yeah... It is depressing.
[heavy breathing]
*
This place hasn't changed at all.
I know. Josh said he painted it, but...
Really?
It looks the same to me.
Remember that guy that used to pee out that window?
[chuckling]
That was so hot.
How come we never really stayed at my place?
We always came here.
Like...a neutral ground or something.
More like our own private ground.
Yeah.
Do you know how long it took me to get over you?
Hmm?
Did you?
Can't you tell?
I think that's good.
Why did you call, Troy, after all this time?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't fucking know?
I mean...
Hmm?
I need to get some water.
I've been... meaning to call for a long time.
- But? - No buts.
I always wanted to tell you...
that I...
I wanted you to know that it wasn't easy for me.
I didn't just leave and forget everything.
You called after a week... to dump me.
Look...
Those were...crazy days.
You can hardly say things were perfect for a relationship.
I guess.
It's all about timing, isn't it?
Synchronicity.
Oh, come on.
We were so young.
Yes, we were.
Isn't it your birthday soon?
Yes, it is.
My 30th.
You're 30?
Yeah... Not yet.
Easy there.
Um, I should probably go.
[door opens]
- Hey. - Hey.
[TV audio] ...not only the Los Angeles area, but all around:
San Diego County, Ventura County, Orange County,
all the way down to interior portions of the plains
and it is relentless.
There are no signs of letting up,
which is feeding all these fires....
What's all this?
My life.
How long are you gonna keep doing this?
Doing what?
Wouldn't it be easier for you to move in already --
like you keep saying you will?
I practically live here already.
Exactly.
So what's the difference?
Besides, I like having my own space.
Oh...
- What? - Nothing.
Come on. Don't be like that.
Suit yourself.
Maybe those people have some talent!
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah!
[TV audio continues]
[chuckling]
What?
* [Middle Eastern theme plays]
I don't think so. I mean, no matter which way--
You said that about every one of them.
That's because everything is falling
under that cliche umbrella.
- Cliche umbrella, that's good. - That's how I feel.
Hey, you made it!
Yeah... Despite the traffic.
Where are you coming from?
- Venice. - Far.
Spain, really.
Even farther.
Wow, your head...
Yeah, I buzzed it today.
Wow, OK... Nice.
Oh, yeah!
Nina, this is Troy. Troy, Nina.
- Hi. - Nice to meet you...finally.
Oh, thanks.
[cell phone ringing]
So...
Why did you buzz your head?
It used to be this way... I go back and forth.
You used to too, no?
Yeah... A long time ago.
[cell phone ringing]
Who is that?
My next husband. He's wondering where I was.
- Aw. - Isn't that sweet?
Thank you.
Oh, perfect timing.
(all) Cheers!
To new friends.
And old friends.
*
They don't let you smoke in this country...
And it goes with my drink.
Go outside.
They don't let you drink outside.
Smog and fires everywhere - and they don't let you smoke?
I bet they let you smoke in Europe.
They do, yeah.
God, I wish I could move to Europe.
It's not all that glamorous.
Yes, it is!
I wanna take a vacances.
It's all work in this town.
Stay in Europe.
Uh, my heart is here.
You spend your whole 20s running away from home...
And then you get to your 30s and realize
you just wanna go back to it.
You're romanticizing, Troy.
I think once you move here you'll realize
all is not so great as you make it out to be
and you'll want to move back.
Really?
Well, why don't you move to Spain
and we'll switch.
Aww, that's sweet.
- But I can't. - Sure you can.
No, I can't... I'm married.
You are?
Yeah, Nina married Raul so he could stay in the country.
Oh...
Jonathan drugged me and begged me to do it...
"Oh, Nina, please.
Come on. He's the love of my life."
Clearly he lied.
I'm gonna hit the men's room.
OK.
- Hi. - What are you doing?
You're out of control.
Do you like him being back here?
I find it... terribly confusing.
I hope you figure it out.
- It was nice to meet you. - You too.
- OK. Good night. - Night.
Well...
Night.
Be good.
I'll try.
* One boy
* Grew up different from the rest *
* Without the insides of his chest *
* He didn't know how he was blessed *
You're wasted.
* And all the little girls thought it a blast *
* To shake his body really fast *
* To see the impact never last *
* Some said 'poor boy'
I'm sorry... What's your name?
- It's Toni. - I was close.
* Some said 'lucky man' *
*
* He used
* To live with different families *
* That nurtured his disease... *
[baby crying]
Oh, God, turn it off.
I thought you said he's not usually like this.
What's wrong with you anyway?
Nothing... Just hung over.
Oh.
You knew you're coming here today
and you go out drinking?
Grow up, Troy.
- I am grown up. - Yeah.
I got a job.
Well, that's great.
Yep.
And what does Jonathan think about all this?
He's happy, I think...
We went out celebrating last night.
Who needs to grow up now?
I don't think you're doing the right thing.
What do you mean?
Just an observation.
You barely know him.
You met him like twice, maybe, that summer.
Yeah, but I know you,
and you don't know what you want.
And I don't think you have a right
to barge into someone's life and mess it up again
just to figure out if it works out better this time.
And what? I messed it up the first time?
I would love for you to move back here,
find a boyfriend, a job, be an uncle.
Everyone would love that.
But don't just do it based on some romantic--
I think you're wrong.
You are having an affair...
and you're like... the other woman.
I'd like to think I'm more than that.
And nothing good ever comes out of an affair, believe me.
What is up with you? Get off my back!
Leave!
You're not gonna smoke, are you?
You can have one outside, and only when he's sleeping--
OK!
Nice head, by the way.
(Radio announcers) 92 degrees and rising in downtown LA!
Again!
Is this the hottest week in history or what?
Well, if you're inside I hope you stay cool!
We're looking at a stifling 100 degrees today in downtown,
high 80s in the beaches, and 115 in Palm Springs.
Very low humidity with these Santa Ana winds,
but that's not record-breaking.
June 26, 1990, holds the record of 112 degrees at Civic Center.
Wow!
And there's still all these fires going on.
How do you break the heat?
If you're off today, head out to the beach!
And if you're not?
You're screwed.
I'm gonna go jump in someone's pool!
(attorney) When did we submit this?
Like four months ago.
I expect you to know.
Well, ever since 9/11
everything has become more cumbersome,
if you can imagine.
Everything takes longer now.
It's just that you said it would only take two months.
That's the usual processing time for
employment authorization, yes.
If we had an estimate...
I mean, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?
I can't get a real job--
You can do nothing but wait.
*
Hello?
J?
[sighs]
[birds chirping, bees buzzing]
[siren in distance]
[deep sigh]
[Raul pounding]
(Jonathan) No...
[pounding]
Stop...
(Raul) Sorry...
I think it's really done this time.
It's a blackout.
[Raul sighs]
[Jonathan groaning]
Can you get me that water?
So where were you last night?
Uh...
I went out... with Nina and Troy...
- Some gallery thing. - Oh?
Good times?
Yeah...
So you two are good now?
I guess. Yeah.
Great.
Should I...
Should I invite him to the party?
What?
Is your entire harem coming?
[chuckles] No. Just him.
I thought you wanted us all to hang out.
Oh, is that it?
Just forget it...
I won't. I don't care.
Do what you want. It's your birthday.
God...
I don't even want this party.
Of course you do. It's your 30th.
Besides, Nina and I need pictures for the photo album.
Isn't that why you're going to Malibu?
"You're?"
I can't... I have to work.
You're leaving me alone with Nina and Nick?
She's your wife.
[electricity kicks on]
Oh, thank God.
Hey, stop! Stop!
I will kill you.
[car horn blowing]
They're here.
Nina's gonna be pissed.
Tell her to get off my back.
You tell her to get off your back.
[door closes]
[machine churning]
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm at the beach.
Yeah.
You should come join us.
Bring your stuff out here.
Don't be so lazy.
Just jump in your car and get here.
I'm not good enough for you?
What?
You had to invite Jonathan?
Do you mind?
No.
*
Smile!
[camera clicks]
I like it, you guys.
Finally some authenticity.
Now one at me...
OK.
*
[waves lapping]
- You want some? - Yeah.
- I'm going in. - You should.
[chuckles] Cute.
This is where we met.
Yeah.
God, five years ago...
[both chuckle]
Memorial Day.
We had a great summer.
Yeah...
And a terrible fall.
I'm sorry.
Are you upset?
What?
You're not upset?
About what?
About Jonathan not coming.
No.
- Not even a tiny bit? - What's the point?
Well, I'm upset.
And if I get upset what good would that do?
Being upset makes you act, do something.
And how would you like me to act, Nina?
He's a big boy.
He knows what he's doing
and he should take responsibility for it.
He's a child, Raul.
And none of you take responsibility
for anything you do.
How can you say that?
What the fuck are we doing here?
All of this so we can stay together!
Exactly!
So you and Jonathan can stay together.
Not anybody else!
Raul, when an ex comes to town he usually messes things up.
Especially one with the magnitude of Troy.
God, Nina, let it go.
It's because it's Troy.
They need to sort things out.
What do you want me to do?
Nothin'.
Must be nice dating a chef.
Would you and Nick have gotten married if it wasn't for me?
I don't know... I don't think so.
Maybe it's a sign.
What?
Troy.
Maybe I'm not meant to be here.
I can't work, can't go see my family.
It's too much sacrifice.
[utensils clanging, crickets chirping in distance
Raul is gonna kill me.
[heavy breathing, moaning]
You know I think you're the devil?
No.
[notification ding]
So you're smoking now?
Yeah...
You make me.
I'm not making you do anything.
So did you find an apartment?
Not yet.
- What? - Nothing.
I love Raul.
Yeah? Well, that fucking sucks.
Yeah? Well, I guess it's all about timing--
Fuck that!
Fuck you! You come and you go.
You can't even find an apartment!
I will! I got a new job, didn't I?!
I get a sense that you want this too.
Want what?
This, this...
You...
What?
I was gonna move with you.
I was gonna move to Spain.
I was gonna move to Madrid.
And...
Come to bed.
I am in bed, stupid.
I should be in Malibu right now.
It's that fucking curse you put on me.
You need to cancel it.
No. I think I like it.
I think I'm gonna increase it tenfold.
Why?
'Cause you deserve it.
When is Josh back?
Next week.
What are you gonna do then?
I don't know.
Devin has a friend who's out of town.
He's got a place in Silver Lake. I may move there.
Silver Lake?
(Jonathan) Hmm.
Raul's throwing me a little birthday bash next weekend.
Am I invited?
Do you want to be?
Look at us.
[door opens, closes]
- Hey! - Hey!
What's this?
It's too hot, so...
Who did that to you?
Troy.
Oh...
Yeah. You like it?
Did Troy shave his head too?
Yeah.
I thought you had things to do.
I did. I got them all done, so...
So you look alike again?
How was the weekend?
- Hmm? - Fine.
You missed out. We had quite a few feasts.
- We do not look alike. - I bet you do, Jonathan!
What's all this?
Stuff for your damn birthday party,
which I don't even know why I bother with.
I went to some 99 cent store and got a bunch of stuff.
You see, some people think of their boyfriends
when they're away for the weekend.
[water running]
[knock on counter]
[banging]
I hope you know what you're doing.
I was hoping you did.
*
* Your skull-fucked little lives *
* In shadows where you hide *
* A life that was designed
* You've been cheated, oh, so blind *
* You laid it on the line
* These twisted words of time *
* And how your spirit shines
* I wish that you were mine *
* Yeah, lately
* I know that I've been crawlin' *
* I know that I've been fallin' *
* Into your dream
* Imagine no more tears
* Dissolving all your fears
* With tooth and claw we fight *
* Into this endless night
* Yeah, lately
* I know that I've been crawlin' *
* I know that I've been fallin'... *
Can you hear it?
*
* ...Into your dreams
[music plays, people chattering]
- Hey. - Hey.
- Happy birthday. - Thanks.
Thirty is when real life begins.
*
So you flew in from New York for this?
Yes, yes.
All right, he did not... He had business.
How do you like LA, Brandon?
I like the climate.
Don't tell me you're movin' back!
Thinking about it.
And what...
You got in touch with Jonathan?
Yeah.
Why?
What do you mean?
You're not trying to get back with him, are you?
No.
Hello? They're beautiful together.
Yes, but you're Troy.
It was hard for him, you know.
It took him a while to get over you.
Yeah...
So I've heard.
[music, loud chatter]
[chuckling]
So how come I've never heard of you?
Uh, I don't know.
You're friends with Jonathan, right?
Uh, Troy - mostly.
Oh... OK.
Should I leave or...?
No, not at all.
I'm sorry... That came out wrong, I guess.
I'm not really sure I'm supposed to be here.
Troy dragged me along... More as a safety measure.
Yeah, right... Well, it's moral support.
I think so.
If you ask me, it's nobody's business but their own.

Hey.
How you been?
Fine.
We haven't seen you in a while.
Yep.
You were here?
I just finished.
