00:00:28,096 --> 00:00:32,633
Norman Mailer lived,
uh, two doors down.
5
00:00:32,666 --> 00:00:35,035
I saw him bite
Rip Torn's ear off one night.
6
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,805
Seems like
a different lifetime.
7
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:39,640
If you're looking
for more action, I can, uh,
8
00:00:39,673 --> 00:00:42,042
show you something
on Commercial Street.
9
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:44,978
But you should know that
by November, even downtown
10
00:00:45,012 --> 00:00:47,548
is so empty and quiet that
you could hear a gnat fart.
11
00:00:47,548 --> 00:00:50,050
- I like the quiet.
12
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,186
Need my privacy.
13
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:53,053
How's the ventilation?
14
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,356
These old houses
can get pretty stuffy.
15
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:56,890
- You a writer?
16
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,892
Painter?
17
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:00,528
Hermit?
18
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:02,163
I know you're not here
for the social scene,
19
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,031
whatever's left of it.
20
00:01:04,064 --> 00:01:06,134
I've been here for 50 years.

[chuckles]
22
00:01:07,835 --> 00:01:08,969
You know, back in the day,
you'd walk downtown,
23
00:01:09,002 --> 00:01:11,539
and you'd see boys getting
butt-fucked on front porches
24
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:14,308
like some kind of perverted
Norman Rockwell painting.
25
00:01:14,342 --> 00:01:18,045
It was true
homosexual Americana.

Now it's Mom and Dad

all fucking summer long.
28
00:01:24,485 --> 00:01:26,920
- I just left my job
at a lab in Providence.
29
00:01:26,987 --> 00:01:28,021
- What are you, a chemist?
30
00:01:29,557 --> 00:01:32,360
- It was an ugly divorce.
31
00:01:32,393 --> 00:01:33,761
I just need some time alone.
32
00:01:33,827 --> 00:01:35,429

00:01:40,834 --> 00:01:42,936
that are most plentiful
for eight months a year
36
00:01:43,003 --> 00:01:45,339
are methheads, choppy seas,
and depression?
37
00:01:45,373 --> 00:01:46,907
That sounds like a woman
looking to set up
38
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:48,342
her own little meth lab.
39
00:01:48,376 --> 00:01:50,010
- I have a PhD from Harvard.
40
00:01:50,043 --> 00:01:53,181
Meth is well below
my pay grade.
41
00:01:53,214 --> 00:01:54,248
- Good.
42
00:01:54,282 --> 00:01:56,250
'Cause the sheriff has a nose
like a truffle pig
43
00:01:56,284 --> 00:01:59,453
for that junk.
44
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,055
- Just lookin' for some quiet.
45
00:02:02,089 --> 00:02:04,124
I'll take it.

uh, Tex?
54
00:04:15,323 --> 00:04:16,590
He cruises the docks?
55
00:04:16,657 --> 00:04:19,192
- Wait, don't tell me.
He's from Texas.
56
00:04:19,226 --> 00:04:20,093
- Yeah.
How'd you know?
57
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,595
[laughs]
58
00:04:21,662 --> 00:04:24,197
Anyway, he taught me this trick
59
00:04:24,231 --> 00:04:25,198
you do right before
a guy comes.
60
00:04:25,232 --> 00:04:27,568
- Mm.
- You press down on his taint,
61
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:28,869
you time it just right,
62
00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:31,204
you can get him to come again
right away.
63
00:04:31,238 --> 00:04:33,674
- Mm, but you'll charge me
for just the one, right?
64
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:34,842
- Exactly.
65
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:37,010
- You're playing
out of your league.
66
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:38,346
Scram.
67
00:04:38,379 --> 00:04:39,913
- Look,
can I just borrow ten bucks?
68
00:04:39,947 --> 00:04:42,383
- I said scram, methhead.
69
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:48,288
- Hi.
- Hi.
70
00:04:48,356 --> 00:04:51,559
- I'm new in town,
got a few extra bucks.
71
00:04:51,592 --> 00:04:53,126
You do girls too?
72
00:04:53,193 --> 00:04:54,795
- Yep.
Here.

00:04:54,862 --> 00:04:56,697
Look at that.
I'm a gentleman.

[chuckles]

00:05:12,613 --> 00:05:13,313
Kind of do things

Straight-up sex, that's $100,

I'll do anything for 20 bucks.

isn't for a week.

It's a, um, seasonal thing.

- No.
Like, in life.

You ever wanna be a model
or play for the Yankees?
94
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:55,623
- You really think
I could be a model?
95
00:05:55,656 --> 00:05:59,026
- No.
But you must have something.
96
00:05:59,092 --> 00:05:59,927
Everyone does.
97
00:06:02,763 --> 00:06:04,665

99
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:09,036
- I don't know.
[laughs]
100
00:06:09,102 --> 00:06:10,504
I don't think
I've ever shown anyone
101
00:06:10,538 --> 00:06:12,873
anything I've written
before, but, uh...
102
00:06:12,940 --> 00:06:16,209
um, yeah, you know,
I think I'm pretty good.
103
00:06:16,276 --> 00:06:19,346
Why, you, like, a big-time
movie producer or something?
104
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:22,182
- I'm a biochemical engineer.
105
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:23,684
Spent the past nine years
working with the U.S. military
106
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:25,486
trying to understand and unlock
107
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:27,555
the creative parts
of the brain.
108
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:29,890
- They wanna make
more creative soldiers?
109
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,725
- Less.
110
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,393
They don't want them
to think for themselves.
111
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,162
But to lock up
the creative mind,
112
00:06:35,195 --> 00:06:38,031
we also have to understand
how to unlock it.
113
00:06:38,065 --> 00:06:39,366
We have tons of research
114
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:40,534
from studying
highly creative people.
115
00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:42,803
Every one of 'em
says the same thing.
116
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:45,873
They don't know
where it comes from.
117
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:48,375
[whispering]
But I do.
118
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:50,478
[normally]
The occipital lobe.
119
00:06:50,511 --> 00:06:53,981
Talented people have denser,
more numerous clusters
120
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,983
of neurons in that area.
121
00:06:56,016 --> 00:06:58,752
I don't care if you are
Bill fucking Shakespeare.
122
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:01,889
If I whack you hard enough
in that part of your head,
123
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:04,892
you'll never write again.
124
00:07:04,925 --> 00:07:08,328
So I started developing a drug
to target that area.
125
00:07:08,361 --> 00:07:11,499
Made the neurons in that part
of the brain fire at 10,
126
00:07:11,532 --> 00:07:13,567
50, 1,000 times faster
and more frequently
127
00:07:13,601 --> 00:07:16,737
than they usually do.
128
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:18,506
- Uh, wow, um...
[laughs]
129
00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:21,041
Did it work?
130
00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:22,710
- We started testing it
on primates.
131
00:07:22,743 --> 00:07:25,546
And yeah, it worked...
132
00:07:25,579 --> 00:07:27,347
on some of the apes.
133
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:29,517
The ones who tested higher
on cognitive tests
134
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:32,452
before we gave them
the medicine.
135
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:36,456
Suddenly, they could play
complex notes on a keyboard.
136
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:39,960
- So, um, what happened to the
ones it, like, didn't work on?
137
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,129
- They became
highly aggressive.
138
00:07:42,129 --> 00:07:44,131
Bloodthirsty.
139
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:46,800
Tore the other apes
limb from limb.
140
00:07:46,867 --> 00:07:47,801
I think the medicine
has different effects
141
00:07:47,868 --> 00:07:50,203
on creative
and noncreative people.
142
00:07:50,237 --> 00:07:52,305
It's almost like
the noncreative ones
143
00:07:52,372 --> 00:07:54,975
can tolerate
their lack of talent
144
00:07:55,042 --> 00:07:58,378
until they're confronted
with it.
145
00:07:58,411 --> 00:08:00,280
Then their mediocrity
drives 'em mad.
146
00:08:01,749 --> 00:08:04,217
So...
147
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,455
Wanna try one?
148
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:09,957
- Fuck no!
149
00:08:09,990 --> 00:08:12,092
- Maybe you're one
of the talented ones.
150
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:18,165
- Um...
151
00:08:19,767 --> 00:08:22,570
Thanks but no, thanks.
152
00:08:22,603 --> 00:08:25,573
Uh, look,
can I just get my money?
153
00:08:25,606 --> 00:08:27,407
- It's a long winter.
154
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:35,348
*
155
00:08:35,415 --> 00:08:38,118
I'll give you $50
for anyone you convince
156
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:40,153
to come take one
of these lil' black beauties.
157

[scattered applause]
159
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:53,667
- Maybe I should sing tonight.
160
00:08:53,701 --> 00:08:56,036
Do you think they have
any Joan Baez?
161
00:08:56,103 --> 00:08:58,872
- Ooh, wow, Joan Baez.
[both laugh]
162
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:01,041
Wait, doesn't, uh, singin'
make your cough worse anyway?
163
00:09:01,108 --> 00:09:03,543
- Yeah, but...
164
00:09:03,611 --> 00:09:05,178
good news is, it's October
and I've only had bronchitis
165
00:09:05,212 --> 00:09:06,847
five times this year.
166
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,849
- Oh, that's a--
a real victory, Karen.
167

[both laugh]
168
00:09:10,217 --> 00:09:11,051
- [coughs]
169
00:09:14,054 --> 00:09:15,656
- I always get depressed
this time of year.
170
00:09:15,689 --> 00:09:18,726
- Oh, no, no.
171
00:09:18,726 --> 00:09:21,695
I love it.
172
00:09:21,729 --> 00:09:26,533
All the assholes leave town,
and the galleries close, and...
173
00:09:26,566 --> 00:09:30,871
none of the paintings inside
them mock me when I walk by.
174
00:09:34,908 --> 00:09:37,410
- Do you think you're talented?
175
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:38,078
Like, uh--like, uh--
like, if you just had,
176
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:40,547
like, a little bit of help,
177
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,082
you could paint things good
enough for those galleries?
178
00:09:42,082 --> 00:09:44,251
- Oh.
179
00:09:44,251 --> 00:09:47,020

00:18:06,686 --> 00:18:09,222
- Give me a Bloody Mary.
359
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,324
- Hey, dude,
you don't look good.
360
00:18:11,358 --> 00:18:13,493
- I feel sick.
361
00:18:13,526 --> 00:18:16,896
I think that bitch Karen gave
me bronchitis or something.
362
00:18:16,929 --> 00:18:18,731
- You sure?
'Cause she says
363
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:19,999
she hasn't been sick
in a while.
364
00:18:20,032 --> 00:18:26,506
*
365
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:34,046
- I'm gonna puke.
366
00:18:36,249 --> 00:18:37,617
[door slams]
367
00:18:40,853 --> 00:18:43,856
[retching]
368
00:18:47,026 --> 00:18:49,196
[panting]
369
00:18:49,229 --> 00:18:52,199
[unsettling music]
370
00:18:52,232 --> 00:18:59,272
*
371
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:14,321
- I'm so happy.
372
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:16,289
- Uh, yeah, that's the drugs.
373
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:17,457
- Then I want more.
374
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:19,158
- [laughs]
Yeah, you see,
375
00:19:19,226 --> 00:19:20,827
it doesn't really
work that way.
376
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:22,962
First time's the best,
and then, uh,
377
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:23,563
you end up
chasing that high forever,
378
00:19:23,596 --> 00:19:26,633
and you never catch it.
379
00:19:26,666 --> 00:19:28,134
- That's some bullshit.
380
00:19:28,167 --> 00:19:29,001
- Mm-hmm.
- [laughs]
381
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:32,905
- Uh,
you know, I, uh--
382
00:19:32,939 --> 00:19:35,575
I know someone that can
give you something else.
383
00:19:35,608 --> 00:19:37,076
Something that can
make you happy forever.
384
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:38,177
- How come
you're not taking it?
385
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:43,483
- 'Cause it's, uh--
it's not for me.
386
00:19:43,516 --> 00:19:45,685
It only works
for people like you.
387
00:19:45,752 --> 00:19:47,687
Artists.
388
00:19:47,754 --> 00:19:54,026
*
389
00:19:54,093 --> 00:19:56,363
We've been waitin'
half an hour.
390
00:19:56,429 --> 00:19:58,598
- I wanted to read this first.
391
00:19:58,631 --> 00:20:01,434
You have talent.
392
00:20:01,468 --> 00:20:02,602
- Thank you.
- Took everything in me
393
00:20:02,635 --> 00:20:04,871
not to rub one out
during that threesome
394
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:08,275
with George and Martha
and Ben Franklin.
395
00:20:08,308 --> 00:20:09,876
- I've always found
heavier-set men
396
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:10,610
to be extremely attractive.
397
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:16,115
- Mickey tell you
what I'm offering?
398
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:18,217
- Making all my dreams
come true.
399
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,218
I'm in.
- You wanna know about
400
00:20:19,218 --> 00:20:20,387
the side effects?
401
00:20:20,453 --> 00:20:21,187
- I know I'm talented.
402
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:25,692
- The pills
create certain cravings.
403
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:27,193
And they cause aggression
404
00:20:27,226 --> 00:20:29,862
even in the subjects
with positive results.
405
00:20:29,896 --> 00:20:32,365
- I could use
a little of that too.
406
00:20:32,399 --> 00:20:34,867
According to my husband.
407
00:20:34,901 --> 00:20:37,870
Please, I need this.
408
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:41,073
*
409
00:20:41,073 --> 00:20:42,642
- The effects are temporary.
410
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:47,046
You're gonna have to keep
taking them as it wears off.
411
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,247
And you're gonna have
to stick around
412
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,883
and agree to let me study you.
413
00:20:50,917 --> 00:20:53,085
- Whatever it takes...
414
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:56,022
*
415
00:20:56,055 --> 00:20:58,525
To finding my destiny.
416
00:20:58,558 --> 00:21:05,031
*
417
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:11,237

[line rings]
422
00:21:32,959 --> 00:21:34,260
- You've reached Ray.
Leave a message.
423
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,429
- Asshole.
[beep]

430

[laughing hysterically]
431
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:56,876
- Good morning.
432
00:22:59,712 --> 00:23:01,448
What's wrong with you?
433
00:23:01,481 --> 00:23:02,882
- I wrote a book last night.
434
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:05,217
A whole book, and it's--
435
00:23:05,217 --> 00:23:07,887
it's beautiful.
436
00:23:07,954 --> 00:23:09,889
- Bullshit.
437
00:23:09,956 --> 00:23:11,123
Let me see.
438
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:16,563
You didn't write this.
439
00:23:16,563 --> 00:23:18,330
- What?
440
00:23:18,364 --> 00:23:18,731
Yes, I did.
- You couldn't have.
441
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,232
It's good.
442
00:23:22,201 --> 00:23:25,237
- I did write it!
443
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,239
I went out and danced
444
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:28,675
and took methamphetamine
445
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:31,243
and met a chemist
and had the time of my life!
446
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,245
And then I came home,
and I wrote this!
447
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:35,414
Where the fuck were you?
448
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:36,849
- I went to the dunes tour,
449
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:38,851
and I got drunk,
450
00:23:38,885 --> 00:23:40,720
and I met a woman who doesn't
dress like a schoolteacher,
451
00:23:40,753 --> 00:23:42,321
and I fucked her
right there in the sand
452
00:23:42,354 --> 00:23:44,156
until we passed out.
453
00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:47,059
Then we woke up
and fucked again.
454
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:49,896
- [gasps]
- Now I'm gonna take a shower.
455
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:52,064
I'm gonna pack my things.
456
00:23:52,098 --> 00:23:52,899
I'm gonna go over
to the Red Inn.
457
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:54,166
I'm gonna fuck her
for a third time.
458
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,002
Because this marriage...
459
00:23:56,035 --> 00:23:57,704
is over.
460
00:23:57,737 --> 00:24:00,272

[heartbeat thumping]
462
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:03,543
- What?
463
00:24:03,576 --> 00:24:05,578
You got something
you wanna say?
464
00:24:05,612 --> 00:24:06,078
- [groans]
465
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:09,348
[screams]
466
00:24:09,381 --> 00:24:09,749
- Ah!
467
00:24:09,782 --> 00:24:13,185
[gagging]
468
00:24:13,219 --> 00:24:16,122
[tense music]
469
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:20,627

470
00:24:20,693 --> 00:24:24,063
[muffled screaming]
471
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:27,066
- [slurping and grunting]
472
00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:28,400
[panting]
473
00:24:28,434 --> 00:24:33,072
*
474
00:24:33,105 --> 00:24:35,074
- What was the feeling exactly?
475
00:24:35,107 --> 00:24:40,046
- I don't know.
Rage?
476
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:43,883
Like Braveheart
or a beast of the wild.
477
00:24:43,916 --> 00:24:45,217
But that's not
what made me attack him.
478
00:24:45,251 --> 00:24:47,987
- What was it?
479
00:24:48,054 --> 00:24:50,823
- Thirst.
480
00:24:50,823 --> 00:24:53,993
I could smell his blood
through his skin.
481
00:24:54,060 --> 00:24:55,161
I was gonna die
if I didn't drink it.
482
00:24:55,227 --> 00:24:57,664
- Fascinating.
483
00:24:57,664 --> 00:24:59,832
Not surprising,
but fascinating.
484
00:24:59,899 --> 00:25:01,333
- You knew this
was going to happen?
485
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:02,935
- [exhales sharply]
486
00:25:02,969 --> 00:25:05,104
After the rages,
487
00:25:05,137 --> 00:25:07,607
the apes would drink the blood
of their kills.
488
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,909
When we autopsied
the ones before they drank,
489
00:25:09,942 --> 00:25:12,511
we noticed a depletion
of sodium, potassium,
490
00:25:12,511 --> 00:25:14,747
calcium, and magnesium
in their blood.
491
00:25:14,781 --> 00:25:18,585
I wasn't sure it'd have the
same effect on humans, but...
492
00:25:18,618 --> 00:25:20,252
makes sense that it would.
493
00:25:20,286 --> 00:25:21,754
- Am I going to have
to keep drinking blood
494
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:23,923
to keep writing like that?
495
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:28,194
- Would that stop you from
continuing to take the pills?
496
00:25:28,194 --> 00:25:33,600
*
497
00:25:33,633 --> 00:25:37,604
What happened after
you drank from your husband?
498
00:25:37,637 --> 00:25:41,608
- I, uh, sat down and...
499
00:25:41,641 --> 00:25:45,612
wrote the first 50 pages
of part two of my book.
500
00:25:45,645 --> 00:25:48,615
I didn't even care about Ray.
501
00:25:48,648 --> 00:25:50,783
I just had to write.
502
00:25:50,817 --> 00:25:52,619
- First things first,
503
00:25:52,652 --> 00:25:54,220
you got to get rid
of your husband's body.
504
00:25:54,286 --> 00:25:59,058
*
505
00:25:59,125 --> 00:26:00,059
- Come on.
506
00:26:00,126 --> 00:26:01,728
Mm.
507
00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:07,333
*
508
00:26:07,366 --> 00:26:08,500
Ah!
509
00:26:08,534 --> 00:26:11,503
*
510
00:26:11,537 --> 00:26:13,239
No, no, no, no, no!
Back, back, back.
511
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:14,907
Jesus.
512
00:26:14,907 --> 00:26:15,908
Ew.
513
00:26:25,985 --> 00:26:27,586
- Did your hair all fall out
on its own?
514
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,221
- Most of it.
515
00:26:29,255 --> 00:26:31,423
I shaved the rest.
516
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:33,425
Otherwise I'd look like
Riff Raff from "Rocky Horror."
517
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:34,894
- Your skin
is looking rather creamy.
518
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:36,729
Probably a form of anemia.
519
00:26:36,763 --> 00:26:39,231
How's your temper?
520
00:26:39,265 --> 00:26:41,067
Have you shown
any aggression towards anyone?
521
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,068
- No.
522
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:44,536
I'm a fucking Buddhist.
523
00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:47,707
I wanna be like Bono and use
my music to help people.
524
00:26:47,740 --> 00:26:49,876
I need more pills.
525
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:51,110
The dose you gave me
must have been too low.
526
00:26:51,110 --> 00:26:54,380
I have never felt a jones
like this before.
527
00:26:54,413 --> 00:26:57,216
- I told you,
I set the protocol.
528
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:59,285
And you don't get another pill
until day five.
529
00:26:59,285 --> 00:27:01,520
It's day three.
530
00:27:01,553 --> 00:27:02,722
- What did you do to me?
531
00:27:02,755 --> 00:27:03,890
Why is this happening to me?
532
00:27:03,923 --> 00:27:05,892
Please, give me a fix.
533
00:27:05,925 --> 00:27:07,293
Just one more pill.
534
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,728
- You're part
of a very important study.
535
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:12,064
And you volunteered for it.
536
00:27:12,098 --> 00:27:12,965
Honestly, I don't know
what's happening to you
537
00:27:13,032 --> 00:27:14,466
or what comes next.
538
00:27:14,533 --> 00:27:16,635
All I know is,
no more pills for two days.
539
00:27:16,703 --> 00:27:18,805
- And if I die before then?
540
00:27:18,871 --> 00:27:21,373
I'm freezing cold.
I can't stop shivering.
541
00:27:21,407 --> 00:27:21,808
Is that supposed to happen?
542
00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:23,642
- It's October.
543
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:26,612
You're wearing a light jacket.
544
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:28,447
Go get yourself
a proper fucking coat.
545
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:35,554

546
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:38,390
[bell rings]
547
00:27:45,798 --> 00:27:46,766
- I'm diggin' the look.
548
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:50,002
Vampire Michael Stipe.
549
00:27:50,069 --> 00:27:52,104
Or anorexic Uncle Fester?
550
00:27:53,973 --> 00:27:56,508
You want a tattoo?
551
00:27:56,575 --> 00:27:57,276
I do them in the back.
552
00:27:57,309 --> 00:27:58,945
I could give you bat wings
553
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:01,413
or, like, a grim reaper
dancing on your arm.
554
00:28:01,447 --> 00:28:02,414
- I need a coat.
555
00:28:02,448 --> 00:28:04,350
And I don't have
a lot of money.
556
00:28:04,350 --> 00:28:04,917
- I got just the thing.
557
00:28:04,951 --> 00:28:06,786
*
558
00:28:06,819 --> 00:28:08,254
- These look expensive.
559
00:28:08,287 --> 00:28:11,257
- They were, in the '80s.
560
00:28:11,290 --> 00:28:13,359
All the fashion gays
from New York and Boston
561
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,362
came out here to let their
dicks and rainbow flags fly.
562
00:28:16,362 --> 00:28:17,864
Then they all died
and left behind closets
563
00:28:17,864 --> 00:28:20,099
full of this
high-fashion stuff.
564
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:21,533
When the straight yuppies
moved into town,
565
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:25,537
they cleaned out the closets
and donated all of it to us.
566
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:28,941
I was hoping to sell a few
for Halloween, but no takers.
567
00:28:28,975 --> 00:28:31,443
I'll basically give one to you
if you take it off my hands.
568
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,883
[ominous music]
569

*
572
00:29:07,246 --> 00:29:09,248
You don't look well.
573
00:29:09,315 --> 00:29:11,083
Would you pray with me?
574
00:29:11,150 --> 00:29:12,751
- Yeah.
575
00:29:12,751 --> 00:29:17,589
- [praying in Portuguese]
576
00:29:17,589 --> 00:29:21,861

Awesome costume, dude.

[laughter]

[knocking]
590
00:30:16,048 --> 00:30:17,716
- The candy's in the--
591
00:30:17,749 --> 00:30:19,051
[whispering]
Come in.
592
00:30:22,454 --> 00:30:22,821
[normally]
What happened?
593
00:30:26,125 --> 00:30:27,759
It states in section four
of the contract you signed
594
00:30:27,793 --> 00:30:29,095
to be a part of the study
595
00:30:29,128 --> 00:30:30,162
that you have complete
confidentiality
596
00:30:30,229 --> 00:30:32,598
for anything you say in here.
597
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,934
- I was in the cemetery,
and I--
598
00:30:34,967 --> 00:30:36,936
I don't know what happened.
599
00:30:36,969 --> 00:30:38,104
I'm a vegan.
600
00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:40,272
I don't even eat
those Impossible Burgers,
601
00:30:40,306 --> 00:30:42,274
but the thirst for her
was too much.
602
00:30:42,308 --> 00:30:44,110
- How much blood did you drink?
603
00:30:44,143 --> 00:30:46,012
- I don't fucking know!
604
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:47,513
I killed her!
605
00:30:47,579 --> 00:30:49,448
She asked me to pray with her,
and I killed her!
606
00:30:49,481 --> 00:30:51,683
- Did you feel anger, rage?
607
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:52,784
- Yes.
Why?
608
00:30:52,818 --> 00:30:53,852
- [sighs]
You drank the blood
609
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:56,255
'cause the pills
create a deficiency.
610
00:30:56,288 --> 00:30:59,992
You felt the rage
because you now hate everyone.
611
00:31:00,026 --> 00:31:01,693
- Why?
612
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,530
I told you, I'm a pacifist.
613
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:06,032
- You hate everyone
because you now know
614
00:31:06,098 --> 00:31:08,034
the truth about yourself.
615
00:31:08,100 --> 00:31:09,268
You're not talented.
616
00:31:09,301 --> 00:31:11,203
You don't have what it takes.
617
00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:13,940
[somber music]
618
00:31:13,973 --> 00:31:16,608
- [crying]
619
00:31:16,642 --> 00:31:18,777
- The talented ones
need the blood,
620
00:31:18,810 --> 00:31:20,947
but their rage comes
from their arrogance
621
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:23,049
and certainty that they're
better than everyone.
622
00:31:23,115 --> 00:31:26,785
The rage of the untalented
is much darker, more intense.
623
00:31:26,818 --> 00:31:29,555
You hate the world for giving
you dreams that were too big.
624
00:31:30,789 --> 00:31:32,524
Back up, motherfucker.
625
00:31:32,558 --> 00:31:34,493
- [growls]
626
00:31:34,526 --> 00:31:37,829
- Never come back here again.
627
00:31:37,863 --> 00:31:40,232
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll
have plenty of company soon.
628
00:31:40,232 --> 00:31:43,502
Soon as word gets out
about what I'm sellin' here,
629
00:31:43,535 --> 00:31:44,903
every asshole whose mother
told him he could be
630
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:47,406
the next Elvis or Tyler Perry
631
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:49,241
gonna take a chance
on that little black pill.
632
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:52,511
Nine out of ten of 'em
are gonna end up just like you.
633
00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:54,213
Now, get the fuck out my house.
634
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:58,750

[groans]
639
00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:14,766
Hey, dude.
640
00:32:14,766 --> 00:32:16,502
Never mix tequila and merlot.
641
00:32:17,903 --> 00:32:20,539

- You wanna try that on?
646
00:32:38,524 --> 00:32:41,127
- I don't know, perhaps.
647
00:32:41,193 --> 00:32:43,129
I'm looking to create
an entirely new closet,
648
00:32:43,195 --> 00:32:45,297
a whole new look.
649
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:46,465
- New guy in your life?
650
00:32:46,465 --> 00:32:48,467
- Mm, no,
I like to play the field,
651
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:50,636
preferably with multiple players.
652
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:51,970
- [chuckles]
653
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:54,140
- I left my husband
a few winters ago.
654
00:32:54,140 --> 00:32:55,641
Left him in pieces
on the beach.
655
00:32:57,476 --> 00:32:58,310
Just kidding.
656
00:32:58,377 --> 00:33:00,946
- I killed my last boyfriend.
657
00:33:00,979 --> 00:33:04,483
He could bang me pretty good,
but he was boring as fuck.
658
00:33:04,483 --> 00:33:05,651
So I drank him dry
and burned the body.
659
00:33:05,651 --> 00:33:06,985
- [laughs softly]
660
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:08,820
- How long
you been on the pill?
661
00:33:08,887 --> 00:33:10,656
- Two years.
You?
662
00:33:10,722 --> 00:33:11,957
- Couple of months.
663
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:13,959
What's motivating the new look?
664
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:15,961
- I always thought
that a woman should pick a look
665
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:18,464
before she turns 40
and stick with it.
666
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:21,500
For men, it's 50.
And I did that.
667
00:33:21,567 --> 00:33:22,668
But lately I've been thinking
that that's a rule
668
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:25,137
for people with no second act.
669
00:33:25,171 --> 00:33:26,972
I've published six
"New York Times" best sellers
670
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,674
in the past two years,
671
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,276
one that was turned
into a film franchise.
672
00:33:30,309 --> 00:33:31,677
- [gasps]
673
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,179
"The Heart
is the Bitterest Root,"
674
00:33:33,245 --> 00:33:35,114
I love those movies.
675
00:33:35,147 --> 00:33:37,283
- What about you, dear?
676
00:33:37,316 --> 00:33:38,450
How does your little black
pill-driven greatness
677
00:33:38,484 --> 00:33:40,352
express itself?
678
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:42,321
- Tattoos.
679
00:33:42,354 --> 00:33:44,823
And these.
680
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:46,325
- [laughing] Oh, my!
How convenient.
681
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,860
I must have a set!
682
00:33:48,860 --> 00:33:49,528
- I can arrange that.
683
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:50,962
Step into my office.
684
00:33:53,532 --> 00:33:54,366
After, we can give you
a wardrobe makeover.
685
00:33:54,366 --> 00:33:56,502
- Mm, I'm belle of the ball.
686
00:33:56,535 --> 00:33:58,137

691
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:17,789
- $5 cover.
692
00:34:17,823 --> 00:34:20,025
It's drag night.
We gotta pay the performers.
693
00:34:20,058 --> 00:34:24,896
*
694
00:34:24,963 --> 00:34:26,165
- Wanna check my ID?
695
00:34:26,198 --> 00:34:29,168
- Nah.
You're good.
696
00:34:29,201 --> 00:34:33,739
[crowd cheering]
697
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:35,507
- Thank you!
We're gonna take a short break
698
00:34:35,541 --> 00:34:37,676
before our next performer!
699
00:34:37,709 --> 00:34:40,412
[applause]
700

*
702
00:34:49,521 --> 00:34:51,323
- Drag is an art form.
703
00:34:51,357 --> 00:34:52,424
I am a professional.
704
00:34:52,424 --> 00:34:54,660
You three...
705
00:34:54,693 --> 00:34:55,761
straight boys in bad wigs.
706
00:34:55,761 --> 00:34:57,596
[laughs]
- Pfft!
707
00:34:57,596 --> 00:34:59,331
- You know, men have been
performing in women's clothing
708
00:34:59,365 --> 00:35:01,333
since the time of the Greeks.
709
00:35:01,367 --> 00:35:04,270
You all just appropriated it
for gay culture.
710
00:35:04,336 --> 00:35:05,937
- Speak for yourself, dude.
711
00:35:06,004 --> 00:35:09,107
I don't give two shits who's
appropriate or not appropriate.
712
00:35:09,175 --> 00:35:10,609
All I know is, I can make more
doin' this than painting houses
713
00:35:10,676 --> 00:35:12,778
or stealing
from my grandmother.
714
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:14,780
My problem with you is,
715
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:17,283
you're the ugliest
fuckin' woman I ever seen.
716
00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:20,786
- [coughs]
And your drag name is awful.
717
00:35:20,852 --> 00:35:22,454
- Patty O'Furniture.
718
00:35:22,454 --> 00:35:24,290
That's an awesome name.
719
00:35:24,356 --> 00:35:25,391
- And why in the hell
do you think people
720
00:35:25,424 --> 00:35:26,958
want to be thinkin'
of some suburban deck chair
721
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:28,627
