**Uncle Dan** is the one-hundred fifty-fourth video in the lonelygirl15 video series. Jonas gets upset from Daniel's flirting with Alex at a party.

## Transcript

**Daniel:** So... uh... Jonas and I are at our very first (*Daniel momentarily adopts an odd accent*) "fashion industry party". But it's weird...I dunno. They have a full bar kind of thing. But, I'm really not trying to drink anymore, 'cause of the whole... you know? (*He turns to Jonas*) I dunno man, what do you think?

**Jonas:** (*raises a glass of wine*) Eh...I dunno.

**Daniel:** Uh... yeah.

**Jonas:** (*referencing people across the room*) I think that guy is a musician, though. Over there?

**Daniel:** Over there?

**Jonas:** Yeah...

**Daniel:** In the white shirt?

**Jonas:** Yeah.

**Daniel:** Cool. Who is he? I wonder.

(*Jonas shrugs.*)

**Daniel:** Anyway, I feel really out of place right now. Honestly, I don't know what to do. Maybe I can talk to people. Maybe they'll get on camera.

(*Cut to woman with brown hair eating finger food.*)

(*Cut to Jonas, standing alone in a corner of the room with a wine glass.*)

(*Cut to Damien, who nods in greeting to Jonas. Cut back to Jonas who appears to be staring at him before looking at the camera.*)

(*Cut to David, whispering in the ear of another woman before she rolls her eyes. He glances in another direction.*)

(*Cut to Jonas who mouths "Help me!" Jonas is standing behind Alex and Damien.*)

**Alex:** I don't hate this.

(*Cut Damien, who has moved in close to talk to Jonas.*)

**Damien:** I think you're sexy... I wasn't...

**Jonas:** No, no, no, no.

**Damien:** He's cute!

(*Cut to Alex drinking wine; David enters.*)

**David:** Excuse me, excuse me for a moment...

(*Cut to Alex and David, who is pushing her into a corner of the room where they start to argue.*)

**David:** (*Raised voice*) I don't even know why I'm invited here. (*unintelligible*) He's 19 years old for Christ sake!

**Alex:** Will you keep it down maybe?

**David:** (*to someone across the room*) Excuse me.

**Alex:** You know what, I... I-- (*Alex throws wine in David's face and walks away*)

**Daniel:** (*calling after Alex*) Are you ok?...Hey.

(*David stands in the corner, watching Alex walk away.*)

**Daniel:** (*walking to Jonas and handing him the camera*) Dude, this sucks. Take the camera, everybody freakin' hates me.

**Jonas:** (*pans the camera back to Daniel*) Nobody hates you, man.

**Daniel:** Dude, I, I keep gettin'... (*cut to Toby and Beth approaching*)

**Toby:** How you doin', man?

**Jonas:** What's up, dude?

**Toby:** It's good to see you.

**Jonas:** Yeah, you too. This is Toby. Toby, Daniel.

**Toby:** We've met.

**Beth:** Jonas, I'm Beth. Pleasure to meet you.

**Jonas:** Oh!

**Toby:** She's uh...actually uh...a reporter for--

**Jonas:** Well it's nice to meet you, Beth.

**Beth:** It's nice to meet you too.

**Daniel:** I'll be back. (*He walks over to Alex.*)

**Jonas:** (*While Jonas talks, we see see Daniel with Alex in the background. Daniel whispers in Alex's ear, and Alex fiddles with Daniel's jacket.*) I saw this girl, she was posting videos, and my heart kinda went out to them. It's a long story. It's complicated. (*Jonas zooms in on Daniel and Alex in the background, who are continuing to get friendly.*)

**Toby:** Look, I'm gonna let you catch up with everybody. Really good to see you.

**Jonas:** Yeah. You too, man.

(*Cut to Jonas, now alone by a mirror.*)

**Jonas:** Dude, I'm really annoyed right now. He's totally hitting on my aunt. (*cut to Daniel and Alex, talking, dancing, and flirting*) I know they're just friends and all, but... that's my aunt, man, it's family! It's weird. And if they start hooking up it's going to be weird around the house. (*cut back to Jonas*) And she's kinda like that too, actually. I was using her computer and she left this page open, it was some dating website. It said that she was into younger guys. I think I'm going to throw up. (*Jonas pauses and touches his throat.*) No, it's cool, it's... (*He swallows.*) It went back down.

(*The camera cuts and pans across various people in the room, including Daniel and Alex, who are dancing. Jonas picks up a piece of food and eats it.*)

**Jonas:** Mmmm... That's good.

**Carla:** Joseph. Joseph!

**Jonas:** It's actually Jonas.

**Carla:** Oh. (*She waves her hand, as if brushing away the error.*) Jonas.

**Jonas:** It's all right, though, we just met.

(*Will and Seth watch the conversation from behind, looking uncomfortable.*)

**Carla:** You are adorable, adorable. (*She takes a sip of wine.*)

**Jonas:** Oh, thank you.

**Carla:** If you don't-- No, I'm not going to ask, I don't want to know.

**Jonas:** I'm nineteen.

**Carla:** You're nineteen... So I'm going to give you my room key, I've got two room keys, and I don't want you to tell your aunt...

**Jonas:** My friend, Daniel, I've got to find...do you have a friend, that's not my aunt, that maybe he could...

**Will:** Hey Jonas.

**Jonas:** Yeah, man?

**Will:** Some guy is here looking for you.

(*Carla sort of half-kisses Jonas, who looks into the camera and mouths "Oh my God!"*)

(*The camera cuts and pans across various people in the room. David drinks wine straight from the bottle.*)

**Jonas:** So it looks like the good food's gone and... (*Jonas sees he is standing next to Damien, who is sucking on a piece of chicken*) Yipes.

(*The camera pans across a group of people talking in the middle of the room. The clinking of glasses is heard.*)

**Jonas:** Oh, hey! Daniel! Ummm... I think we need to go.

**Daniel:** (noticably drunk) No, I'm good.

**Alex:** Why?

**Jonas:** I think, no, I uh... none of that, please.

**Alex:** You don't need to go, why do you...

**Jonas:** Yeah... (*He slaps Daniel on the face, gently.*)

**Alex:** All right, well, I have some business to take care of, so...

**Jonas:** So we're going to leave.

(*Carl walks up. The conversation gets tense, and the four of them all talk over each other for a minute.*)

**Carl:** Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what's up guys?

**Jonas:** Hey. Hey, man.

**Carl:** Hey, hey, you all right?

**Daniel:** Yeah.

**Carl:** Okay, good.

**Daniel:** You alright?

**Carl:** Yeah, I'm great, I was just wondering, ummm... (*the camera cuts away for a moment.*)

**Jonas:** Bro, I think you've got some issues.

**Carl:** No, man, it's just--

(*Cut to Alex.*)

**Alex:** All right, enough, enough.

**Carl:** Is that cool-

**Jonas:** No dude, listen to me.

**Daniel:** No, no, no-

**Carl:** It's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

**Alex:** You guys should just go. Just go.

**Daniel:** What are you talking about?

**Carl:** Do you want to talk about something?

**Alex:** Jonas, I'll talk to you later!

**Carl:** Lets talk, no it's cool, it's cool.

**Alex:** (*yelling*) All right, enough, that's my nephew!

**Jonas:** Chill.

**Daniel:** We're leaving.

**Jonas:** Just chill.

**Carl:** Hey Daniel, it was good meeting you, though. Hey, hey Daniel, keep in touch, all right?

**Jonas:** Daniel, Daniel!

**Daniel:** Here, have your-- (*He hands Alex his wine glass.*)

**Jonas:** Daniel, Daniel--

**Alex:** Bye, bye, goodbye--

**Carl:** Come back anytime.

**Daniel:** Ahh, yeah...

(*Cut to Daniel and Jonas standing outside on the curb. They have obviously called a cab.*)

**Jonas:** That's a Mustang.

**Daniel:** You know what, I'm glad it's not a taxi. We need to go back in there. Shouldn't even...had us leave.

**Jonas:** I know.

**Daniel:** Life of the party, right? High five for that, you know it's true. (*When Jonas does not respond, Daniel drunkenly takes Jonas's hand and makes it high five him.*) Don't worry, I got you. There's a taxi. (*He whistles.*)

**Jonas:** And... not a cab. Nope, wrong.

**Daniel:** You know, you know what'd be really cool? If things work out between her and me...

**Jonas:** Daniel... Daniel... Daniel?

**Daniel:** Just, just let me finish! (*looks at camera*) If things worked out, I would be this fine young gentleman's...uncle!

**Jonas:** Oh my God, man. (*Daniel laughs*) Get off my shoulder. If you hook up with my aunt...

**Daniel:** Yeah?

**Jonas:** I will-I will bury both of you. No no, off the jacket. I wish you wouldn't talk about it!

**Daniel:** Think about it, think about it. It would be fun.

**Jonas:** It would not be fun, Daniel! That would not be fun.

**Daniel:** No, it wouldn't be fun being buried, it would be fun being your uncle. Because... Was that a cab, too?

**Jonas:** That's not a cab.

**Daniel:** Because...I could tell you what to do because...that's...I'm your uncle.

**Jonas:** Shovels, boxes, if all that sounds good to you man, just keep on going down this road. Just keep saying it. I don't think this cab's ever coming...man.

**Daniel:** That's 'cause he sucks.

**Jonas:** Sure does.

**Daniel:** Let's go back in and hang out with your aunt. She's nice.

**Jonas:** Dan... Daniel. I'm going to ask you something. Did you...did you make out with my aunt? Did you? Because that's crossing the line.

**Daniel:** Oh look, there...there's the cab.

**Jonas:** Daniel... Daniel. Look at me. Look! Daniel, right here! Daniel!

**Daniel:** (*looking away*) Yeah?

**Jonas:** Dude, did you? 'Cause if you did...

**Daniel:** Did...what?

**Jonas:** I hate you.

## Notes

* This is the first video to have more than four speaking parts; at least ten of the actors have individually distinguishable lines from the background chatter.
* In one of the rooms, there is a table with a picture frame that is briefly on-camera. The picture is of two women, one of which Bree later identifies as Lucy.
* Why Lucy would be wearing her huge sunglasses in a frameable picture is unknown. Lucy has never been on camera without said sunglasses.
* Although at first it seems the party might be at Alex's house, at the end of the video Jonas and Daniel are waiting for a cab to take them home. This detail indicates that they are at someone else's house. It was later revealed that the host of the party is named Rebecca.
* In conjunction with Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix), this is the second time that we see Daniel drunk.
* This video & Uncle Dan (D-Bone Remix) are filmed in a parallax perspective.
