SPACE DOOR

[kissing, breathing heavily]

[cell phone ringing]

[sighs] Let me see
if it's an emergency,

or if my grandmother forgot
the time difference again.

Hello.

[caller, in Russian]

[in English] Hey,
is everything okay?

[in Russian]

[in English] You've gotta go.

[sighs] sh*t.

[groans]

[announcer]
JFK International Airport is...

Yana! [Groans]

Mmm.

[Yana] Mmm.

[both chuckle]

- [both groan]
- [Yana] Oi!

[in Russian]

[both chuckle]

[groans]

[in English] Okay,
strong man. [Chuckles]

[in Russian]

[in English]
Mr. Yana, hi! [Chuckles]

- Oh. [Chuckles]
- Ah.

I can't
believe you're actually here.

All those years waiting
for your visa

and just, like,
watching her go through it,

I... I feel like I'm watching the
real-life Notebook or something.

- [chuckles]
- All right.

Well, um... [clicks tongue]
...I'll be home late so,

uh, have fun!

- [chuckles] Bye.
- [Yana] Mmm.

Bye.

- [door closes]
- [sighs]

[electronic dance music playing]

[chuckles]

[in English]
I'm not in the mood, okay?

- [laughs]
- I like it.

I'm married, you know.

[Scottie]
Will you tell me something?

You want me to pause?

[Madeleine] What?

[Scottie] Falling
into San Francisco Bay.

[in Russian]

[speaks Russian]

[in English] I've fallen
into lakes out of rowboats

when I was a little girl.

I even fell
into the river once trying

to leap from one stone
to another.

But I've never fallen
into San Francisco Bay.

[sighs deeply]

[electronic dance music
playing faintly]

Hello?

[electronic dance music
continues]

[chuckles]

[chuckles, in English]
We called it Misery,

if you understand English.

Yeah, I know. I study English

and my vocabulary is excellent,
actually.

- Listen.
- [chuckles] Uh-huh?

Beautiful.
Effervescent. Luminous.

- Bravo! [Chuckles]
- [chuckles, panting]

[in Russian]

[sighs]

[sighs]

[chuckles]

[coworker, in English]
These investment opportunities

are gonna make your portfolio
beg you for more.

I don't know. That's what I
tell everybody, I know.

What do we do?
We are dressing B-minus hookers

like triple-A escorts

and these pension funds
are like, "Ride me, b*tch!"

[chuckles]
I know you know what I mean.

Hey,
where are you coming from...

[mimicking Russian accent]
... Saturday Night Fever?

Oh! Hey, uh,
Gaswami wants to see you.

- Right now?
- Well, he wanted you at 7:30,

but I guess 8:30
will have to do.

Yeah, you still there?

Uh, I had some train issues so...

You're not pulling adequate
weight on your team, Yana.

- Okay.
- I understand what it's like

to be on your own
in a new country,

but you can't get away
with doing just enough.

Competent is a dirty word. It
simply means you're not exceptional.

So why did you come here
in the first place?

I guess I wanted the opportunity

to make something
that's never existed.

Something that's raw and alive.

Does that make sense?

No. Be exceptional,
or find another line of work.

Understood.

I will work on that.

[in Russian]

Mm-hmm.

[in English] I hear the situation
in Chechnya is horrifying.

Well, that's Russia. I'm from
Belarus. That's a different country.

[friend] Hey, Yana.

Martin! Hey, how are you?

- Exhausted. Flew in from LA this morning.
- Oh! Poor baby. [Chuckles]

Uh, this is Maksim.

Oh. I've heard
so much about you. Welcome!

Yana tells me you're a musician
as well?

Uh, he is an incredible DJ.
And he does computer animation.

- She's exaggerating.
- Hmm.

Oh, the stuff he was doing
back in Minsk.

Y-You have to hear his first
album, it's based solely on samples.

What? Like DJ Shadow?

- Yes, exactly.
- Not like DJ Shadow.

It was before DJ Shadow.
[chuckles]

[in Russian]

[in English] Oh, my God.
[chuckles]

Black Devil Disco Club?

I got this bootleg in London.

Ah. Thank God for P.P. Roy.

Someone knows her sh*t.
Where you spin at, record nerd?

Oh, no. I'm just a-a bedroom DJ.
Total hobby.

- That's a waste of a good ear.
- [chuckles] What about you?

I spin at APT.
Meatpacking District.

Yeah, I've...
I've heard of it. [Chuckles]

You should come by.
I'm there every Friday.

Uh, yeah. I'd love to.

[guest] Yana?

Is everything okay
with your friend?

[stammers] Why?
Did he say something?

No, he's just been sitting in
the stairwell for, like, an hour.

[in Russian]

[in English]
I was networking for you.

[in Russian]

[sighs]

[Maksim]

[Maksim]

[chuckles]

[chuckling]

[groans]

[chuckles]

Mmm.

[chuckles]

[grunts]

[laughs]

[knocking at door]

- [Irina]
- [gasps]

[clears throat] Um...

[chuckling]

[clears throat]

Mmm.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[Irina]

[sighs]

Uh-huh.

[sighing]

[door closes]

[in English] Hello?

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

[in Russian]

[Irina]

[chuckles]

[both chuckle]

[chuckles]

Mm-hmm.

[in English] Yana,
you have a guest.

[in Russian]

[scoffs]

[coworker, in English]
What an idiot.

You're looking good, hon.
[laughs]

[in Russian]

[in English]
Because these are my coworkers.

This is my actual job,
it's not a joke.

Not all of us get to sit around
in our underwear all day.

[in Russian]

[in English] You don't need
a visa to be making music.

[in Russian]

[in English] You have all
the time in the world.

And what are you doing? Nothing.

You're wasting your life.

[in Russian]

Hmm?

[sighs]

[Yana]

[chuckles]

[both chuckle]

- Mmm. [Chuckles]
- [laughs]

[sighing]

[groans]

[in English] I was stressed.

We're always arguing. I work
all the time and I hate my job.

[in Russian]

[in English] I don't wanna
fight anymore.

[in Russian]

[in English]
It's true, isn't it?

[in Russian]

[scoffs]

[in English] You know,

I hadn't seen you in two years,
but I took you in.

I supported us.
I tried to make this work.

You tried?

[in Russian]

[Yana groans, in English]
I can't do this anymore!

[in Russian]

[breathing heavily]

[Maksim]

[knocking at door]

[knocking at door] -[Juliana,
in English] What's going on?

[Maksim] Nothing. We're talking.

[Juliana knocks at door] Yana?

Yana, do you need help?

Do you want me to come in?

- You two are always fighting.
- [Maksim] Mind your own business, okay?

[Juliana] This is my business.
I live here too.

You're making her miserable.

[breathing heavily, sniffles]

I'm okay.
You can go back to bed.

[door closes]

[in Russian]

[in English]
You need to leave tomorrow.

[in Russian]

[in English]
I'll help you find some place.

- I'll lend you money until you find a job.
- I got frustrated.

- I'm sorry about that, okay?
- We can't do this anymore.

And I'm not going to try.
You need to leave, or I will.

[in Russian]

[in English] I need some air.
I can't be with you right now.

Thanks so much for this.

No worries. I wanted to dance
to some good sh*t tonight.

- Well, you got the right girl.
