Paying for It (2024)

[bunniefuu]

I think I'm falling in

love with someone else.

I don't even know

if it's anything.

We don't have...

I don't have...

I wanted to talk to you first.

Okay.

I still love you.

Okay.

- Do you want me to move out?

- No, I love living with you.

Do you want me to move out?

This is your house.

This is our house.

I love living with you too.

So...

What do you want to do?

I guess I'm just asking for your

permission to see where this goes.

Okay.

Let's see where this goes.

Do you hate me?

I love you more than ever.

You're next on the list.

My favourite band,

The Talking Heads.

You're up next. One minute.

- I just said that.

- Suzo just said it.

Oh yeah? I was just checking to see if

you girls knew how to tell the time.

Okay, great.

- You should have his job.

- I don't care.

He'll die desperate and

alone choking on his Viagra.

In five,

four, three, two, one. Your up.

I'm Sonny Lee. And

this is Max Music.

Next up, Rexdale and

Lawrence Heights,

Ghetto Concept

with "Crazy World".

My birth control expired.

I didn't know it could do that.

We haven't had sex in so long

the birth control expired.

Yes, I noticed.

Not me.

What?

- Your shirt is enormous.

- It's a men's small.

You're not a small man.

It's okay, it's cute. It looks

like that you not wearing pants.

Hey, I made you something.

It's an old copy of the

Happy Prince by Oscar Wilde.

I painted over the cover.

Thank you.

- I've got to go.

- Do you want me to come with you?

No, the last time we went out, you just

ended up in a corner reading a book.

I enjoy going out with you.

I always do.

It's okay. I'll be back soon.

Hey, "Mystic Muffin".

I like your shirt.

No one feels good when his girlfriend

starts falling for some other guy.

Well, I didn't say I feel

good, but I don't feel bad.

If it's what Sonny wants, then

I'm willing to go along with it.

Maybe you don't really love her?

I love Sonny. She's the best

girlfriend I've ever had.

You've only had two

other girlfriends.

Well, she's the

best of the three.

I think it shows how much we trust

each other that we can talk about this.

- It'll never work.

- Yeah, Sonny has access.

- Access?

- To sex.

Women have greater

access to sex.

- Bad sex.

- Good or bad, you have access.

What you need is a plan.

You are not exactly social.

What will you do to compete?

- It's not a competition.

- Wait till she starts having sex.

Then your jealousy

will be awakened.

You will hear them f*cking.

He's not gonna be actively

listening, taking notes.

- You're not, right?

- Maybe you should.

How will you have sex?

How do you get sex, Cain?

Well, I'm sensitive.

- I'm a terrific listener.

- Dad shape.

- Excuse me?

- Only ones who'd f*ck you have crazy dad issues.

That is such an unfair

by-product of the patriarchy.

Sorry. What?

When men have mum sh*t

they strangle 15 co-eds.

When women have dad sh*t

they do guys in fedoras

in a front row seat.

How about girls with mum sh*t?

They date musicians?

Hey, Mo.

It's late.

Sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you.

I couldn't sleep.

I can't.

I'm just afraid

because of Miles...

It's complicated.

I thought we were gonna

try an open relationship?

I know. I want to, but...

I wish I was...

more open.

It's fine.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry. I'm not sorry.

We should get some sleep.

Okay.

- Good night, Chester.

- Good night.

Watch your step there!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- Are you sure?

- I'm fine.

- You can let go. I can handle it.

- Okay.

Oh my God!

- That doesn't look comfortable.

- It'll be comfortable.

- Let me fix it.

- No, you don't have to.

Please. I want to.

- What's all this?

- Water.

- And this?

- That's the date I refilled it.

We've got to get rid of these,

they're taking up too much space.

No, just leave them there.

Remember when the water main broke

and the city shut off our water?

Yeah, for like a day.

Are you stockpiling for

the end of the world?

I aim too well!

Wait until I catch you!

You must have been

emotionally devastated.

I'm fine now.

Listening to them, felt like I'd

conquered something negative in me.

You know it's perfectly natural to

feel jealousy in a situation like that.

Jealousy isn't natural.

It's learned behaviour.

Go ahead and continue

suppressing those emotions.

Chester Brown?

I love you.

I just love you.

Thank you.

I'm fine.

Could you sign this for me?

Don't be stupid.

- How's your line going?

- Mediocre.

- Don't lie to me.

- Long. It's been long.

- I've written more books than you.

- I know.

The porn stars have

longer lines than me.

Porn stars?

That's Mandy Mulling.

She's not a porn star,

she's a centrefold.

Whatever. Go get a

picture if you want.

No. I'm not that desperate.

It's only 50 bucks.

50 bucks is a lot of

money just for a hug.

I'd rather you sign this for me.

Chester, it's a comp.

We always give each

other our books.

With money you save throwing another

fifty in, you could hire a prost*tute.

A lots of guys do

it the wrong way.

Start by standing

tall, muscles engaged.

Squeeze the crap

out of a dumbbell.

Squeeze hard, come

right back down.

Increase your punch power.

Whack and it's one

knuckle to slap the ball.

Hey!

Sorry man. Did I wake you?

- No.

- I bet I did, you're just being polite.

Also, I got you a burrito last

night, it's in the fridge.

- Thanks.

- Look I know this sh*t is dumb, but

I f*cking love it.

- Do you want to try?

- No, I...

Oh, come on! I'll let you

kick me in the crotch.

- Oh I don't...

- I'm kidding. Come on now!

- No, I...

- Come on, Chester!

- No, it's fine.

- Yeah, come on, let's go!

This is a great way

to start the day.

Okay so, I want you to follow me.

This...

this is called the

root down position.

Okay.

Alright, I want your

shoulders a little wide.

Bend your knees. There you go.

Spread your legs a little.

Yeah.

Alright.

And now we kick

like m*therf*ckers.

Welcome to Monday Max Music.

It's Sonny welcoming

you with my snot rag.

If you suffer from

seasonal allergies,

be sure to eat a lot of these.

Oranges and kiwis.

Just spread your legs a bit.

Do you still have

that Jules ros book?

- Yep.

- Can I borrow it?

Sure.

Where's Miles?

At home. Sick.

- That's too bad.

- Yeah. I'm gonna go over and see if he's okay.

That'd be nice.

I wanna see how

sick he really is.

Sonny!

I didn't think you'd care.

Dear Jules,

I'm a 30 year old

virgin, overweight...

I'm incredibly scared about

putting myself out there.

I just don't know

where to begin.

Dear 30-Year-Old Virgin,

off the top of my head,

hire an escort from a

reputable escort agency

or find one who

works independently.

Search for reviews on

established review sites.

Be totally honest about

your inexperience.

Ask her what her hourly rate is.

Do not attempt to

negotiate a price.

110 per half, 160

for a full hour.

Okay. Could you describe

yourself please?

I am very very attractive.

5' 6'', 120 pounds.

35C, 24-36.

- I'm 28 years old...

- Twenty-eight?

Yeah.

Okay, thank you. Bye.

I am beautiful,

blonde, very sensuous.

5' 3", 36D, 25-37.

135 pounds.

How much do you charge?

100 for half, 150

for the full hour.

See, that's a little pricey for me.

Thank your time.

Make an appointment to meet in a

safe, mutually agreeable location.

Display you money, the

agreed upon amount,

and place it clearly on

a night stand or table.

She'll know what to do.

Be respectful. Let her lead.

Use condoms and tip the lady.

Come to 386 Sherwin, go

through the iron gate.

The entry code is 5-8-3-6. We're

the first door on the right.

There's a locked door with another pad.

Press 5-6-1-2 and go to apartment 306.

Hang on, that's

too many numbers.

5-6-1-2.

Apartment 306.

5-6-1-2, 306.

Okay, I got it. Thank you.

Hi.

My name's Steve.

- Money, please.

- Oh yes, sorry.

- There.

- Thanks.

Make yourself comfortable.

I'll be right back.

Would you like to

start with a massage?

Would you want to

start with a massage?

Do you want to massage me?

No.

But I understand I

should let you lead.

Is this your first time?

Yes it is.

Steve, this is

about what you want.

What do you want?

I want to have vaginal

intercourse with you.

Okay.

I like this.

What would you like?

Me on the bottom?

Anything.

Steve, are you okay?

I'm all done.

Great.

That's a generous tip.

You're an angel.

We just moved and that

eats up a lot of money.

This will really come in handy.

I was totally happy with

the whole experience.

You look happy.

- I am happy.

- I love it when you're happy.

I just saw a prost*tute.

- Why?

- Well...

exploring new

methods of intimacy.

Couldn't you wait to meet someone

you like who... likes you.

That's what people normally do.

Well I... don't want to be

in another relationship.

I thought the whole point was

for us to try new things and...

Yeah, no I mean yes. I'm...

glad you're having fun.

Are you going to do it again?

Yes.

Then can I ask you a favour?

Sure.

Never bring them here.

Okay.

Miles and I broke up.

Oh, no!

'Scuse me Buddy, excuse me.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I made a real fool of myself.

I don't know what's

wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with you.

Okay? Nothing.

Thanks.

Now tell me more details.

Let's see... She was so nice.

I only took one book with me,

I didn't want to bring my backpack.

Didn't want that to be strange.

It looks good.

Remember this?

She must think we're idiots.

She thinks we're

sill giant dogs.

You guys have a lint brush?

I bought a new helmet so I can drop

you off at work before my haircut.

Thanks Carl.

Hi, I'm Anne. Come in.

Did you do anything before this?

I used to work in a massage

parlour, but I hated it.

Massage parlour or a Rub N Tug?

A Rub N Tug.

You still have to give these

massages that really hurt my hands

and I don't know,

I like this better.

Less work, more money.

This is all extra.

Thanks, Steve.

Also, I want to give you this.

This is... it's what I do.

You make comics.

That's is so cool.

You must have a

great imagination.

When I first started paying

for sex I used a fake name.

That's my real name.

Chester Brown.

Whose this? Louis Riel...

Louis Riel, 19th

century Mtis leader

who led two rebellions against

the Canadian government.

You probably learned about

him in history class.

So this is like a funny version?

No, it's serious.

Well, I have something

to read later.

Are you okay?

Yeah, just...

running out of sperm.

It's so f*ck' expensive.

If this one doesn't take, I...

You could adopt.

Yeah. I mean that's

more expensive.

Plus there's the

whole l*sbian thing.

Even now?

Yeah and probably forever.

I'm sorry.

You know, Chester might

give you some sperm.

Chester is so agreeable

he'd give me his kidney

and I've only met the

guy like three times.

Can someone get that?

Hello?

It's your mum.

I swore it's a wrong number.

I asked you to do something.

Why is that so hard for you?

I didn't know you didn't

want to talk to her.

My mum is like a

Chinese fighting fish.

She kills everyone

else in the tank.

There are boundaries.

I have to set boundaries.

Okay, you don't

want to talk to her.

Okay. Then don't!

Sorry.

Listening to them argue

is very unpleasant.

- I do not see the attraction.

- I do.

That guy's built like the Michelangelo statue.

A lot of women like that.

We're taught that passion involves

odd things flying at you head.

It's easy to confuse passion

with being treated like sh*t.

I would give anything for

a flying object at my head.

Oh please, Cecil.

You know our collective sympathy

for has long been depleted.

I was supposed to be next.

I gone without sex

longer than Chester.

- You cheated.

- It's not like I butted in line in front of you.

Yeah, it is. You can't play a heart

till the first hearts been broken.

I just the line you're in.

The free sex line, and I walked

over to the paying for sex line

which you could to.

It's a lot faster.

There is no way I

am paying for sex.

The disease factor

alone is too scary.

Yes, plus you're too cheap.

It's not expensive.

I budgeted it out.

Based on what I

paid and plus tip,

I could afford to see

someone 17 times a year.

I spent more than that on Sonny last year

and we didn't even sleep together 17 times.

Yeah, so you're referring to the

child you're currently exploiting?

Anne is not a child. She is 21.

She's very warm, very nice.

I gave her one of my comics.

Why does she know

you're a cartoonist?

Why are you talking

to her at all?

This is just supposed to be for sex.

You're not supposed to talk to her.

Getting to know each other

adds to the experience.

Makes it seem less

cold and more intimate.

If you'd like an experience that's less cold experience

and more intimate, you should try getting a girlfriend.

Hey, you got...

You can't play a heart till

the first cards been broken.

Unbelievable.

You're so quiet.

It's hard to know

if you're finished.

There's another girl who works here.

Amanda.

It's cool if you

want to see her.

What's she like?

She is pretty. She

has big breasts.

She got a boob job.

I'm not a big fan

of fake breasts.

You'll never gonna

get implants, are you?

I thought about it.

I hate the way mine look.

They're perfect.

Most guys like big boobs.

I like yours.

Then, book another appointment.

Do you work in the evening?

I only work in the afternoons.

At night, guys are drunk.

Their the worst.

Them and guys with big dicks.

I wish all my clients

were like you.

f*ck!

It'll wake the f*ck up!

f*ck!

No kissing on the mouth,

no digging for gold,

no dining at the Y,

no water sports, no

body slides, no hugging,

and we use condoms

for everything,

including blow-jobs, understand?

Agreed.

That's a very

thorough inspection!

You can never be too careful.

Yes, of course.

I think it's great that

you and Anne share clients.

Yeah. She said you're nice.

Oh really?

That's very kind of her.

- How long have you been here?

- A few months.

I convinced her to leave the Rub N Tug

so we could go into business together.

All good.

What do you want to do?

Have sex?

Can I get you

something to drink?

Coffee.

Alright. Arabica, Robusta?

- I don't care.

- I have to ask.

The first one.

I'll be right back

with the drinks.

Hey folks! Are you having

a beautiful day? I am.

I am quitting Max Music.

I'm starting my own

production company.

Ramona's pregnant.

Suzo!

I've got to get

my sh*t together.

You're gonna be such good mums.

What are you doing here?

I have an appointment with Anne.

No, you have to leave.

We're done.

What happened?

The cops came by.

They asked to speak to the boss.

We don't have a boss.

- Did they arrest you?

- No.

They wrecked everything

and they took our money.

Where's Anne?

She is on hiatus.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

If you see her, could

you give her this?

Alright.

What the f*ck are you doin'?

Are you a f*ck' child?

What the f*ck your

problem, Sonny?

Carl!

Hey.

Carl and I got into a fight.

He hates it when

his hair gets wet.

It goes fuzzy.

He threw Mo across

the room in her box.

She could have died.

It's a good thing you're

so quick on your feet, Mo.

He's gone.

I think that's

probably for the best.

Is this too much?

Well, it is a Amorous

Glamorous sponsorship

so you're supposed to look like

you're amorous and glamorous.

It looks like I have

a vag*na on my face.

Very boy band.

V.I.P goin' out to Jordy.

This is Max Music on Demand.

We have Callie from

Oshawa on the line.

- Hi, Callie.

- Hi Sonny.

How are you Callie?

Oh good. How are you?

Well, just sitting

here trying to...

mitigate a profound sense of...

ennui...

Just trying to create something,

anything actually, that

isn't vapid and self serving.

And so I'm...

just feeling... But, you know what?

That's fine.

How are you coping?

I just wanted to hear

New York City by Cub.

Hey.

Are you Tina?

Yes.

Fine.

Would I rather be

stuck in my hometown

or stuck in a forest forever?

Well, I think I'd rather be

stuck in a forest forever.

At least like you're in nature.

I like nature.

My hometown feels like

where they would sh**t a horror movie.

You know?

And black people die

in the horror flick.

Like I wouldn't make it out.

I don't even think I have a home.

I mean...

I know you've been

here longer, but...

I sometimes, feel

like this is my home.

Sit down.

You're not a cop, are you?

No.

Are you a cop?

No.

Great.

Okay.

I don't think I can do this.

Why not?

I just don't want they.

We are in a house

of palliative people

And sometimes men

come on my chest

I like your optimism.

Don't be afraid.

There's just women here.

What type of service or what

woman are you looking for?

- I can choose anyone?

- Of course.

You?

Angelina.

You don't have to.

Thank you.

I'm definitely

gonna see you again.

It's Angelina, right?

I'm Chester.

I think it was really

lucky us meeting today.

Cos' you never know what

type of guys walkin' in here.

And I never know exactly what

kinda situation I'm walkin' into.

So, yeah. I think

it was really nice.

What do you think?

Maybe she's a sex sl*ve.

Because she doesn't

speak English?

The brothel was run in an egalitarian way.

Not by sex traffickers.

Look, if I thought she was a sex

sl*ve I would try to help her.

Did you ask her?

Well she didn't speak English.

Why do you always go for gorgeous young

women and not someone more mature?

Why do you never

date Asian guys?

People have their types.

You know I was in love with Tory

Takashi, but he wasn't into me.

He said I was like his sister.

I would be cool with being

with a more mature woman.

I'm just saying, when

I can't see the photo,

the odds of finding someone attractive

are higher with a younger person.

Coming from a pasty white guy,

that's f*cking ridiculous.

I mean, she is right.

- You are old.

- And pasty.

And strangely fragile,

like a baby bird.

I'm honestly shocked that you're not

tired by this lifestyle. It's sad.

Don't feel sad for me.

I feel great.

I answer to no one.

I'm enjoying life.

- But you think it's sad for her.

- I don't know.

I don't know how she feels about it.

Some women like it, some don't.

For others it's no different than you

doing a commercial art illustration.

Yeah but I hate that I have to

make illustrations for money.

I don't understand why you don't

want like a real relationship.

Romantic love is bullshit. And I'm

not wasting any more time chasing it.

Oh, touchy touchy.

Romance is for people

who are insecure,

who need to feel that

they are loveable,

or good looking

or at least nice.

You're not saying that everyone

in a romantic relationship

suffers from a

fragile ego, are you?

I suppose they could be

in it for other reasons.

- There are other reasons.

- Well how would you know?

You haven't been in anything

lasting longer than eight months.

- No see here...

- And Cecil, you're a chronic masturbator.

- Laura?

- Yes?

I can't think of anything

bad to say about you.

Of course you haven't anything bad to say.

She hasn't insulted you.

You idolise women who

won't have sex with you

and you look down on the ones that do,

because you secretly hate yourself.

- I learned that in therapy.

- You're projecting.

No, it's fine. We

all hate ourselves.

I don't hate myself.

I think I respect

myself quite a bit.

Yeah, you're right. You

are pretty arrogant.

I must be completely

honest with you.

f*ck.

I must be completely

frank with you.

I must be completely

frank with you.

I must be completely

frank with you.

Are you okay?

Nervous.

It's my first film.

Well, you'd never know it.

You're a natural.

Scene 83 Alpha, take one.

Action!

Why do you keep stopping?

- I don't know.

- It's starting to hurt you know.

Oh, I'm sorry. Should we

use some more lubricant?

No, it's fine. Just...

Just keep going.

I can't finish.

Hi... I'm looking for Angelina.

I'm Angelina.

The other Angelina?

Angelina quit.

Now that was a good movie.

They don't make them

like that anymore.

I mean it was beautiful.

Long. Really long.

It wasn't that long. You just

have a short attention span.

- It was over three hours.

- That's how long films used to be.

It used to be a

transformative experience.

A three-hour transformation?

Sonny, I say this with love.

I've noticed that it's

hard for you to focus.

I think it's your job. All

that content, the pace.

Life is like an

electrical outlet.

You need to be careful what

you plug your energy into.

You need to get grounded.

I think I might

need more than that.

Are you Chester?

Yes, I'm Chester.

- Were you waiting long?

- About two hours.

Sorry, I was having

problems with my landlord.

Can I have the money now?

I have to pay the desk clerk.

sh*t. I forgot condoms.

There's a pharmacy up the street.

I'll be right back.

Read this.

- "Forks Out?"

- It's culinary.

No, thank you. I've changed my mind.

I'm just gonna go home.

Are you sure I can't

do anything for you?

I'm fine. Thank you.

Give me a call in a few days.

- I owe you one, okay.

- Yeah.

- Rick?

- No.

I can't do it anymore.

I can't another manufactured boy

band or corporate sponsorship.

Live, unscripted rock and

roll television is dead.

I'm done.

You know it's a shame

you're quitting,

because I really

wanted to fire you.

But good luck out there.

Hello?

Yes, I'd like to make

an appointment please.

I'd be happy to see but

I only work outcalls.

Outcall?

I come to you.

I've never done outcall.

It's up to you.

Could you do it right now?

We'd have to be quick.

- Hi.

- I'm Yulissa.

That's a lot of water.

You must be thirsty.

Can I offer you

a pop or a juice?

How about a pop.

- This is weird.

- What is?

Snuggling. I'd kind

forgotten what it feels like.

Do you always still

kiss your clients?

Not always.

Outcalls more expensive so

I throw in a few extras.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

And I don't want one.

Romantic love is

not a good thing.

Don't you want to live in a world

where people care about each other?

Sure, but romantic

love and real love.

There's a difference between the two.

Romance...

wants you to own someone.

That's the same as sl*very.

That's a bit much.

sl*very is forced on people.

Love is a choice.

Yes, but they come

from the same root.

I've felt jealous and possessive

of my girlfriends, but...

I never felt that

way about my friends.

I don't feel that way about you.

I know you have other clients.

Yeah but some couples are

just right for each other.

It depends on chemistry.

Yeah, but they change over time.

You know, relations

require too much work.

I don't want to have

to work that hard.

If I met the right person,

I'd be happy to do the work.

What about sex work?

Alright, I want

to be paid for it.

You're Chester Brown.

I read your last book.

Did you like it?

Most of it.

It was sweet and sad.

Writing from your own life.

To relate to how difficult it was for you

to talk to people when you were a teenager.

Especially the ones

you had a crush on.

You seem so confident.

I'm glad you think so.

Are you okay that

I know who you are?

Absolutely. I've

got nothing to hide.

I'm comfortable with this.

I like this.

Me too.

But I don't know

about this bed...

I think you're gonna

need a bigger one.

One that'll fit both of us.

Oh wait! Don't forget this.

Right. That's important.

Thanks.

I just finished the fourth

issue of my Louis Riel series.

- Maybe I could show it to you sometime.

- I'd love that.

Hi.

Sonny.

This is Yulissa.

Yulissa, this is Sonny.

I'm just... I'm just...

Good luck.

You said you'd never

bring anyone here.

I know.

I'm sorry. It

won't happen again.

This is f*cked.

Was that your girlfriend?

My ex girlfriend.

Interesting arrangement.

Chester, I liked you, but

this doesn't work for me.

Hey.

What's up?

So it's getting pretty

serious with Reed.

Yeah, he's a nice guy.

He wants to move in.

But he thinks it weird,

all of us living together.

It's such a small house.

Yeah, I understand.

If that's what you want.

Thanks.

I love it!

You love it?

Maybe you... put

that in the hallway.

I like it here.

The Charles Powell

building was built in 1890,

and over here, at 322 Spadina,

Emma Goldman, feminist

and anarchist,

dubbed the most dangerous

women in America,

lived on the second floor

in the winter of 1926.

Emma Goldman was put off by

Toronto's small minded conservatism.

Fortunately, she was

also a free love advocate

who spoke passionately in

favour of birth control,

despite violating the

city's blasphemy laws.

Chester?

Okay.

I'm very glad you're...

You sure know your history.

It's my jam. Architecture

and morality.

So how did you

get into sex work?

At university.

I was working part-time

at an escort agency and...

started filling in for the girls

who couldn't make it into work.

It gave me confidence.

Made me feel sexy.

And I was making a lot more

money that my friends at school.

Since we saw each other last I've...

decided to downsize.

I'm paring down my client list.

You were the kept.

For you. The new issue

of the Louis Riel series.

Awesome!

- Can you sign it for me?

- Of course.

Um but, make it out

to Denise, please.

Denise is my real name.

Yulissa is my

professional first name.

Denise.

THANKS.

Can I ask you a question?

It depends.

Why do you still do this?

Well, I am my own boss.

I set my own rates.

I do what I want when I want.

It's more than

f*cking, It's work.

Empathy work, but...

work.

I don't know. I f*ck for

money and I enjoy it.

It sounds potentially draining.

It is not draining.

I mean, yeah, it's

draining sometimes.

But, it's not right now.

I'll let you know if it is.

Damn, Laura. Your line is crazy.

They can wait five minutes,

while I rest my face.

Yes, hear hear.

The book is great.

Your books are all great.

Except now, Readers

like women, so...

That's good for you.

Give it six months, and everyone

will hate us again. But...

For now, it's pretty nice.

You know I worry

about these signings.

They're beginning to get

more and more corporate.

At least, the porn

star is still here.

She's a centrefold.

Whatever.

Mummy!

Cuckoo! Thank you.

Hello, are you okay?

- I'm going over.

- What?

I know you're sexually enlightened,

but maybe it's not a good idea

to approach the woman that you are pledging

yourself to while she's with her child.

I don't jerk off to her anymore.

He's doin' it.

Hi, Mandy.

- Hi..

- Hi, I just... wanted to thank you.

You're a big part of my life.

I'm a fan.

You're welcome.

Woah, what didn't

you like about it?

The font was computer generated.

Art should be hand drawn.

If it's gonna hang in a gallery,

it should be original art.

Otherwise, the guy at the print company who's

gonna photocopy, should be the one making $5,000.

So old fashioned.

So, should we call it a night or do

you want to go back to your place?

My house.

I just need to... run by an ATM.

Chester, I have to

tell you something.

I'm 34, Chet.

It's time I hung up my ???

I'm down to my last

few clients and...

I want to explore my options.

I think I want to

go back to school.

I really like this.

Okay...

What?

What if there was

just you and me?

That would be complicated.

Not necessarily. Not

if I was to pay you.

I'll think about it.

Sloths move extremely slowly,

and only when it is necessary.

They spends 90% of

their life motionless.

Sloths are solitary

and rarely make contact

with on another.

The three-toed sloth

breeds year round...

Hello?

We should go to Costa Rica

and hang out with sloths.

They are so relaxed.

I need that. I need to slow down

and around that kind of energy.

You want to jump on a plane to

Costa Rica to practice quietude?

Easier to make it through a two-hour movie

without chewing through your own thumb.

This is important to me.

Okay.

We wrap on the 12th then

let's go to Costa Rica.

I've never felt so peaceful.

So serene.

This is perfect.

It's all I've ever wanted.

Sonny?

Yeah?

I think I'm falling in

love with someone else.

I watched like period movies,

I sprouted my own alfalfa,

I signed up for a ten-day

silent meditation retreat.

I did everything right.

It didn't matter.

Can I be honest with you?

Just be alone.

The the love of god, I haven't liked

any of your boyfriends since Chester.

I don't even know

if I like Chester.

You've been in a relationship

ever since I've have known you.

Maybe it's time to take a break.

Shouldn't you be looking

out for your children?

I got the day off. I earned

it and I'm taking it.

I'm gonna to take a few

weeks to deal with about

two years worth of

damage to my body.

But after I'm done...

can I have a job?

You're hired.

Bye bye!

Oh wait! Don't

forget your money.

I always do that. You

are so distracting.

I'm thinking about

writing about this.

About what?

My experiences paying for sex.

I think it could do some good.

Do you want to be the

Louis Riel of "Johns"?

No.

I just want to write the truth.

Nice stuff, ugly stuff.

Maybe it could... I don't know.

I think I just need to write it.

- Am I a character in it?

- I hope so.

I won't include any of

your personal stuff.

Okay.

- Mention me as little as possible.

- Whatever you want.

See you in two weeks.

Mo.

Thank you... for loving me.

You will always be with me.

"Music for the Funeral of

Queen Mary" by Henry Purcell.

I ran into Suzo.

She told me about Mo.

Hey, I wanted to...

return your house keys.

You can keep them...

as a spare in case

I lock myself out.

So, if you're the only

one who sees Denise

and she's the only

one who sees you...

What do you call that?

Wonderful.

It's wonderful.

Thanks.

Your welcome.

You know, for a man dead

set against romantic love,

You are the most romantic

man in the world.

That's a good line. Can

I use that in my book?

Sure.

What are you up to tonight?

Denise and I are

going to see a play.

What time's it on?

Soon.

Do you want me to stay?

Don't feel obligated.

I thought you were

anti obligation.

It is not an obligation.

If we were together

it would be, but...

Youre my friend.

So... it's a choice.

You should go.

Five more minutes?

Five more minutes.

I never stopped loving you.

I never stopped loving you.
