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.
