[DOOR OPENS]

686
00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:51,339
You must be
Alice's friend.

687
00:34:52,857 --> 00:34:53,789
Supposedly.

688
00:34:55,653 --> 00:34:57,483
I overheard some talk
of an interloper.

689
00:34:59,933 --> 00:35:01,072
I'm Sasha.

690
00:35:04,524 --> 00:35:06,112
I'm Ben.

691
00:35:06,250 --> 00:35:07,148
Hi.

692
00:35:09,357 --> 00:35:11,117
You know, I bet we have
something in common.

693
00:35:11,255 --> 00:35:12,325
And what is that?

694
00:35:12,463 --> 00:35:13,878
We're probably
the only two people

695
00:35:14,016 --> 00:35:16,260
at this party
that Alice Lee has not seduced.

696
00:35:17,675 --> 00:35:19,056
- Really?
- Yeah.

697
00:35:19,194 --> 00:35:21,023
You've managed to--Oh, yeah.

698
00:35:21,162 --> 00:35:22,301
Yeah, dodged that bullet.

699
00:35:22,439 --> 00:35:24,199
- No offense.
- None taken.

700
00:35:27,168 --> 00:35:29,998
- Do you go to school with--?
- Yeah. Yeah.

701
00:35:30,136 --> 00:35:33,243
Comp Lit with a focus
on Latin American Marxism.

702
00:35:33,381 --> 00:35:34,692
Wow.

703
00:35:34,830 --> 00:35:37,281
That's actually
my favorite kind of Marxism.

704
00:35:37,419 --> 00:35:38,731
I, uh--Seriously?

705
00:35:38,869 --> 00:35:42,010
No. I'm probably
the least-informed person here.

706
00:35:42,148 --> 00:35:43,045
I doubt that.

707
00:35:45,738 --> 00:35:47,360
So, what's your deal?

708
00:35:47,498 --> 00:35:49,535
You're, like,
Alice's designated driver?

709
00:35:49,673 --> 00:35:53,401
Don't even know what I'm really
doing here, to be honest.

710
00:35:53,539 --> 00:35:54,781
ALICE:
There you are.

711
00:35:54,919 --> 00:35:56,404
Let's go.

712
00:35:56,542 --> 00:35:58,440
- Hi, Sasha.
- Hi, Alice.

713
00:35:58,578 --> 00:35:59,717
I guess we're leaving.

714
00:35:59,855 --> 00:36:01,581
I work at the Berkeley Arts Cinema.

715
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,343
Please stop by
for a free movie.

716
00:36:04,481 --> 00:36:05,344
Okay.

717
00:36:06,483 --> 00:36:08,070
Popcorn.

718
00:36:08,209 --> 00:36:10,107
Free popcorn.

719
00:36:10,245 --> 00:36:11,350
Cool.

720
00:36:11,488 --> 00:36:12,558
What are you doing?

721
00:36:16,044 --> 00:36:18,633
Trust me, you do not wanna
get involved with Sasha.

722
00:36:18,771 --> 00:36:20,704
She's a fence-sitter.

723
00:36:20,842 --> 00:36:22,602
Weren't you the one
who gave me a lecture

724
00:36:22,740 --> 00:36:25,122
about narrow
exclusionary terms?

725
00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:26,882
I'm allowed.

726
00:36:27,020 --> 00:36:30,196
I'm telling you, she's total
bad news. You'll regret it.

727
00:36:30,334 --> 00:36:31,542
She seemed nice to me.

728
00:36:33,855 --> 00:36:34,718
"Free popcorn."

729
00:36:34,856 --> 00:36:36,237
[LAUGHS]

730
00:36:36,375 --> 00:36:37,238
Shut up.

731
00:36:38,411 --> 00:36:39,895
[SIGHING]
Oh...

732
00:36:40,033 --> 00:36:40,931
How do you do it?

733
00:36:42,898 --> 00:36:44,831
Spit so much game
effortlessly?

734
00:36:50,975 --> 00:36:53,495
So we've got another show
coming up pretty soon.

735
00:36:53,633 --> 00:36:55,186
Oh, yeah? That's great.

736
00:36:55,325 --> 00:36:57,188
Yeah, I know how much you loved
our last one,

737
00:36:57,327 --> 00:37:01,365
and this one's kind of, like,
the same, only more intense.

738
00:37:01,503 --> 00:37:03,333
Wow. What night is it?

739
00:37:03,471 --> 00:37:05,645
Because I might not
be able to do--

740
00:37:05,783 --> 00:37:07,647
It's a monthlong residency.

741
00:37:07,785 --> 00:37:10,823
So you could come
multiple times.

742
00:37:10,961 --> 00:37:13,066
A month. Perfect.

743
00:37:13,204 --> 00:37:15,276
Yeah. It changes
night to night.

744
00:37:15,414 --> 00:37:16,691
It's like jazz, right?

745
00:37:16,829 --> 00:37:18,589
Of course.
I will just check--

746
00:37:19,797 --> 00:37:21,316
Hi. Remember me?

747
00:37:21,454 --> 00:37:23,801
Yeah. Oh, sorry.

748
00:37:23,939 --> 00:37:25,596
Of course. Hey.

749
00:37:25,734 --> 00:37:27,460
I was just passing by.

750
00:37:29,082 --> 00:37:30,601
Do you wanna see a movie?

751
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:33,915
No. Maybe some other time.

752
00:37:34,053 --> 00:37:35,675
Okay. Uh, don't move.

753
00:37:38,713 --> 00:37:41,474
Hi. I'm hosting a fundraiser
to benefit my art.

754
00:37:41,612 --> 00:37:43,925
- She's good. Thanks. Thanks.
- Sorry.

755
00:37:44,063 --> 00:37:46,065
- Have you eaten lunch?
- I have not.

756
00:37:47,342 --> 00:37:49,206
Wow, this place
is so good.

757
00:37:49,344 --> 00:37:52,209
- You've never been here before?
- Mm-mm.

758
00:37:52,347 --> 00:37:56,317
I was in a relationship,
and she became a vegetarian.

759
00:37:56,455 --> 00:37:57,973
And then a vegan.

760
00:37:58,111 --> 00:37:59,768
And then a raw-food vegan.

761
00:37:59,906 --> 00:38:02,323
And now all she eats is dirt.[CHUCKLES]

762
00:38:02,461 --> 00:38:03,600
Yeah, well, needless to say,

763
00:38:03,738 --> 00:38:06,016
places like this
were off-limits.

764
00:38:06,154 --> 00:38:08,329
It actually still feels
a little transgressive.

765
00:38:08,467 --> 00:38:10,400
[CHUCKLES]
Uh--

766
00:38:10,538 --> 00:38:14,231
So how long ago did you and...?Pilar.

767
00:38:14,369 --> 00:38:16,475
Am I prying here?
I don't wanna be intrusive.

768
00:38:16,613 --> 00:38:19,098
No, no, no. It's fine. Um...

769
00:38:19,236 --> 00:38:23,344
I guess we've been broken up
for a couple months now.

770
00:38:24,828 --> 00:38:26,554
I should probably say longer, right?

771
00:38:26,692 --> 00:38:29,039
Just so it doesn't seem like
I'm just jumping from one thing

772
00:38:29,177 --> 00:38:30,489
to another thing.

773
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,701
That's a great thought.

774
00:38:35,839 --> 00:38:38,359
But you say it's too long,
then you run the risk of--

775
00:38:38,497 --> 00:38:41,189
Right. Like, "Hi. I haven't been
on a date in three years.

776
00:38:41,327 --> 00:38:43,294
Do you wanna meet my cats?"

777
00:38:43,433 --> 00:38:46,263
- Wait, do you actually have cats?
- Maybe.

778
00:38:48,610 --> 00:38:50,129
Okay, what about you?

779
00:38:50,267 --> 00:38:52,062
How long have you
been broken up for?

780
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,961
- About ten years.
- Oh.

781
00:38:55,099 --> 00:38:58,413
No, I am kidding.
About the same as you.

782
00:38:59,552 --> 00:39:01,623
Hm. Okay.

783
00:39:01,761 --> 00:39:04,074
Do you have to
go back to work?

784
00:39:05,524 --> 00:39:07,146
Yeah, unfortunately.

785
00:39:07,284 --> 00:39:09,804
Okay. Well--But tomorrow...

786
00:39:09,942 --> 00:39:12,393
Tomorrow I have off.

787
00:39:12,531 --> 00:39:15,085
- Okay.
- I swear, I'm not this desperate.

788
00:39:15,223 --> 00:39:18,709
I just-- I'm a little
out of practice.

789
00:39:18,847 --> 00:39:20,021
It's clear.

SASHA:
I'm sorry.
It's gotta be fascinating

792
00:39:24,266 --> 00:39:25,578
to listen to me
just drone on and on

793
00:39:25,716 --> 00:39:27,580
- about grad-school politics.
- No, it's okay.

794

I stopped listening
a long time ago. No.

- I'm joking.
- Oh, man.

00:39:33,448 --> 00:39:34,898
I just-- I always do this.

797
00:39:35,036 --> 00:39:37,141
I'm, like, hermetically sealed
in this bubble.

- It's just tiresome.
- No. It's good.

why I dropped out.

Yeah, I got through
two years,

had this epiphany that academia
is the enemy of art.

805

I need to stop studying
and start creating.

- Should've kept studying.

No. I mean, overall, yes,

could possibly
be attracted to me

1463
01:13:28,619 --> 01:13:30,483
is because of some objectifying
abnormality?

that was the only reason.
