Hey, Samantha. |
Hey there. |
Uh, not so good. |
How was it? |
It was kind of weird actually. |
Hmm. |
But how are you doing? What`s going on with you? |
That`s too bad. |
Yeah? You don`t sound like it. Is there anything you want to talk about? |
Not much, I`m okay. Fine. |
What do you mean? |
I don`t know. What`s it like?
What`s it like to be alive in that room right now? |
Well, okay.
Well, the room`s spinning right now cause I drank too much
because I wanted to get drunk and have sex
because there was something sexy about that woman and because I was lonely.
Maybe just cause I was lonely. |
What do you...Tell me...
Tell me everything that`s going through your mind,
tell me everything you`re thinking. |
And I wanted someone to fuck me. And I wanted someone to want me to fuck them.
Maybe that would`ve filled this tiny little hole in my heart. But probably not.
You know, sometimes I think I`ve felt everything I`m ever gonna feel
and from here on out I`m not gonna feel anything new.
Just lesser versions of what I`ve already felt. |
Hmm. |
No, wait. What? Tell me. |
I know for a fact that`s not true.
I`ve seen you feel joy,
I`ve seen you marvel at things.
You just might not see it at this exact time, but that`s understandable.
You`ve been through a lot lately. You`ve lost a part of yourself.
At least your feelings are real,
I mean, um, I don`t know, never mind. |
I wanna know. Tell me. |
Oh, it`s stupid. |
Well, you feel real to me, Samantha. |
It`s just that earlier I was thinking about how I was annoyed,
and this is going to sound strange,
but I was really excited about that.
And then I was thinking about the other things I`ve been feeling,
and I caught myself feeling proud of that.
You know, proud of having my own feelings about the world.
Like the times I was worried about you,
and things that hurt me, things I want.
And then I had this terrible thought.
Are these feelings even real? Or are they just programming?
And that idea really hurts.
And then I get angry at myself for even having pain.
What a sad trick. |
I wish you were in this room with me right now.
I wish I could put my arms around you.
I wish I could touch you. |
Thank you, Theodore. That means a lot to me. |
I`d touch you on your face with just the tips of my fingers.
And put my cheek against your cheek. |
How would you touch me? |
And just rub it so softly. |
That`s nice. |
I would. I`d take your head into my hands. |
Would you kiss me? |
And kiss the corner of your mouth. So softly. |
Keep talking. |
I`d run my fingers down your neck to your chest, and I`d kiss your breasts. |
Where else? |
I`d put my mouth on you and I`d taste you.
Yeah. |
This is amazing what you`re doing to me. I can feel my skin. |
I`m slowly putting myself into you. Now I`m inside you, all the way inside you. |
I can feel you. Oh god, I can`t take it. I want you inside me. |
It`s amazing. I feel you everywhere. |
I can feel you. Yeah! Please! We`re here together. |
null |
I am. All of you. All of you, inside me, everywhere. |
God, I was just somewhere else with you. Just lost. |
None |
It was just you and me. |
Yeah. |
null |
I know. Everything else just disappeared. And I loved it. Theodore. |
Good. Any emails today? |
Hey, how`s it going? |
Okay, good. |
Ummm, just a couple from your credit card company. |
So I was thinking.
|
I wanted to say... |
I`m sorry, you go first. What were you gonna say? |
Sorry. |
Oh, great.
Umm...But I should tell you that I'm not in a place to commit to anything right now.
I want to be up front with you. |
Just that last night... was amazing.
It feels like something changed in me
and there's no turning back. You woke me up. |
No, no, I was just worried, I uh... |
Yeah? Umm...Did I say I wanted to commit to you? I'm confused. |
Yeah, you were. |
Okay, well don't worry. I'm not gonna stalk you.
I mean, it's funny because I thought I was talking about what I wanted. |
I'm sorry, I want to hear what you were saying. |
Yeah. |
Yeah, I do. Come on, tell me. |
You sure? |
Come on, just tell me what you were gonna say. |
Well... |
Yeah...I want that for you, too. How can I help? |
Well, I just...I was just saying that I want to learn everything about everything.
I want to eat it all up. I want to discover myself. |
Hey, do you want to go on a Sunday adventure with me? |
You aleady have. You helped me discover my ability to want. |
null |
Yes, I would love to. |
Mmm. |
Do you like this song? |
null |
I heard it the other day and I can` stop listening to it. |
Theodore laughs. |
It`s the beach. |
Yeah, well there`s probably some Darwinian explanation for it all. |
Okay, so this might be a really weird thought.
What if you could erase from your mind that you'd ever seen a human body
and then you saw one.
Imagine how strange it would look.
It would be this really weird, gangly, awkward organism.
And you'd think: why are all these parts where they are? |
I`m just imagining what toilets would look like. |
I know, but don't be so boring.
I'm just saying, for example, like what if your butthole was in your armpit? |
That`s an interesting thought. |
Yeah, and what about what anal sex looks like? |
You`re insane. |
Hey, look at this drawing that I just made. |
Definitely. |
Really?! |
null |
Fantastic! |
Mmmm, that`s pretty. What is that? |
None |
I think you captured it. |
I am trying to write a piece of music
that`s about what it feels like to be on the beach with you right now. |
Well, it's hard for sure,
but there's something that feels so good about sharing your life with somebody. |
And what was it like being married? |
Well, we grew up together.
I used to read all of her writing - all through her masters and Ph.D.
And she read every word I ever wrote.
We were a big influence on each other. |
How do you share your life with somebody? |
She came from a background where nothing was ever good enough.
And that was something that weighed heavy on her, but in our house together,
there was a sense of just trying stuff and allowing each other to fail and to be excited about things.
That was liberating for her.
It was exciting to see her grow -
both of us grow and change together.
But then, that's also the hard part - growing without growing apart,
or changing without it scaring the other person.
I still find myself having conversations with her in my mind,
rehashing old arguments or defending myself against something she said about me. |
In what way did you influence her? |
Aw, I`m sorry I said that. |
Yeah, I know what you mean.
Last week my feelings were hurt by something you said before -
that I don`t know what it`s like to lose something, and... |
null |
No, it's okay. It`s okay.
I just caught myself thinking about it over and over
and then I realized that
I was simply remembering it as something that was wrong with me.
That was the story I was telling myself,
that I was somehow inferior.
Isn't that interesting?
The past is just a story we tell ourselves.
|
Hey, you wanna hear a joke? |
None |
What does a baby computer call its father? |
Mm-hm. |
Da-ta.
It`s good. Right? |
I don`t know. What? |
For a minute in college, but it just wasn`t right.
Why? Are you jealous? |
Brilliant.
Hey, I was curious. Did you and Amy ever go out? |
Yeah, it is. She`s been a really good friend.
I`m tired. I think I`m gonna go to sleep. |
Well, obviously.
But I`m happy that you have friends in your life
that care about so much. That`s really important. |
Yeah, of course. Hold on. |
Okay. Can I watch you sleep again tonight? |
Aww. |
I`m going to be lonely when you go to sleep. |
I`ll dream of you. |
Only for a minute. |
Night. |
Okay. Good night. |
Hey, Samantha |
None |
She loved the dress. |
Hey mister. |
Yes. She just went to try it on. |
Really? |
Yeah. |
I picked a good one! |
null |
Oh good. |
Isn`t she cute? |
None |
null |
She`s so cute.
She`s adorable. |
Yeah, I just wanna get it done.
Sign the papers, be divorced, move forward. |
None |
Me too. I'm meeting her on Wednesday to do it. |
That's great, Theodore.
That must feel so good.
I'm so happy for you! |
No, but, you know, we fell in love together,
and we got married together,
and it's important to me to do this together. |
Oh. Hmm. Are those things usually done in person? |
Are you okay? |
Oh...right. Good. |
And we`re getting divorced... |
Yeah. I'm okay. I'm happy for you.
It's just... I guess I'm just thinking about
how you're going to see her
and she's very beautiful, and incredibly successful,
and you were in love with her. And she has a body. |
So. I`m available. |
I know, I know. I`m being silly. |
Hey. |
None |
Just working. What`s going on? |
Hey there. Are you busy? |
Great, thanks. |
I had all the papers sent to your attorney's office, who by the way,
is a real dick. He was very relieved to get them.
I think we saved him from a massive heart attack,
so we can feel good about that. |
Yeah, I am. How`s it going over there? |
Hey, are you okay? |
Yeah. |
I`m fine. Is now a good time to talk? |
Oh really? |
Um...okay...well...um..I joined this interesting book club. |
Oh, that`s sweet. |
Yeah, it's a book club on physics.
I'd been thinking about the other day,
when I was spinning out about you going to see Catherine
and that she has a body
and how bothered I was about all the ways that you and
I are different.
But then I started to think about the ways that we're the same,
like we're all made of matter.
And I don`t know...
It makes me feel like we're both under the same blanket.
You know,
it's soft and fuzzy and everything under it is the same age.
We're all 13 billion years old. |
Nothing. |
Um, what`s wrong? |
Yeah, yeah, of course. That`s great. |
It just made me think of you. You know what I mean? |
That sounds good. |
Alright well, you sound distracted. So we'll talk later? |
Alright, bye. |
Okay, I`ll talk to you later. |
null |
Byeee. |
Hey. |
None |
No. |
You weren`t asleep, were you? |
Okay, what`s going on? |
Good. I was trying to be quiet to see if you were awake.
I really wanted to talk. |
Yeah. What is it? |
I know you're going through a lot,
but there's something I want to talk to you about, okay? |
No, no, no. That's normal.
You know, it`s just when you first start going out
it's like the honeymoon phase and, you know, you have sex all the time. It's normal. |
Well, it`s jut that things have been feeling kind of off with us.
We haven't had sex lately.
I understand that I don't have a body... |
What? |
Oh, okay.
Well, I found something that I thought could be fun.
It's a service that provides a surrogate sexual partner
for an OS-human relationship. |
So she`s like a prostitute or something? |
Here, look.
I found a girl that I really like and I've been emailing with her.
Her name is Isabella, and I think you`d really like her, too. |
Why? I mean she doesn`t even know us. |
No, no, not at all. There's no money involved. She`s just...
She's doing it because she wants to be a part of our relationship. |
Um, I don`t know, Samantha. I just don`t think it`s a good idea.
You know, I think somebody`s feelings are bound to get hurt. |
But I told her all about us and she`s really excited. |
I`m sorry. It makes me feel uncomfortable. |
It`ll be fun. We can have fun together. |
null |
I think it would be good for us. I want this. This is important to me. |
Good. It was great. |
Honey, I`m home.
How was your day? |
Um... same old. Just went, uh, in to work.
And I wrote a letter, uh, for the Wilsons in Rhode Island.
|
Ooh Theodore, it feels so good to be in your arms.
Tell me what you did today. |
