Absolutely stink, in fact, this whole place stinks.
How can you live like this?
Look at this, all these take away boxes.
Can't you eat normal food?
Darling, just, could you just put on some trousers.
In fact, have a shower.
I can't go out for lunch with you like this.
I'll be in the car.

[soft synth music]
- She's cute.
- Black coffee and a summer latte.
Hi guys, can I get you anything?
- Yes, could I get just a large portion
of chips please, and some mayonnaise.

- Um...
[people chattering]
Should I get something?
- Of course, darling.

- Can I have a water then?
- [Waitress] Another water.
- Uh, an orange juice, actually.
- [Waitress] So another water, an orange juice,
and a large portion of chips.
- No, so just the orange juice and then,
just leave the water.
- Darling, get something to eat.
- Should I?
- Of course.
Get anything you'd like. - Anything?
Okay.
- What about a chicken sandwich?
- Yeah, yeah.
A chicken sandwich please.
- Anything else?
- No, we're fine, thanks.
[people chattering]
- [Zel] Thank you.
[people chattering]
- We do worry about you Zel.
We do.
You'll understand when you've got children of your own.
[chuckles]
- Yeah, right.
[people chattering]
- Zel.
This is the last time.
- What do you mean?
- Take it, put it straight in the bank,
and do not expect any more.
[people chattering]
- I'll pay you back.
[Georgina laughs]
- [Georgina] I've heard that one before.
[train rattling]
[tense, dramatic music]
[door bell buzzes]
- [Mandy] Hello?
- It's Zel.
[door buzzes]
- I always tell my wife not to call me,
and she never listens.
How about you?
- Me?
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Girlfriend?
- Yeah.
- No.
Not really.
- Come on.
Who is she? [Zel chuckles]
- She's not my girlfriend.
- Oh, keeping it casual.
- No, no, no, no.
Nothing like that.
We barely know each other.
She lives in my building actually.
[clears throat]
- What's her name?
- Jasmine.
- Is Jasmine
sexy?
[Zel chuckles]
- Yes.
- Word of advice:
keep it simple.
And remember what I told you before.
Don't stare at that clock or time will move
half the speed.
- Sure, yeah.
- Okay, it's all yours.
- Thanks.
Francesco?
- You can call me Frankie.
- Frankie.
- What's up?
- Never mind.
It's fine.
[Frankie speaks in foreign language]
[door closes]
[slow, tense music]
[door opens]
- Sit.
Don't get too cozy, son.
You've only got five more days to prove
you've earned your dry lunch.
You had any tips yet?
- Tips?
- You a fuckin' parrot or something?
Fuckin' hell.
You're a special case you, isn't ya?
- What do you mean?
- Has anybody tipped you any money yet?
- Oh.
Not yet, not yet.
- You're on camera son, don't lie.
- Check the cameras, I haven't taken any money
from anyone.
- Cash gratuities go in the metal box.
[box clangs]
All of it.
Don't get caught back pocketing, son.
You get caught back pocketing, losing your job
would be the last of your worries.
Losing your fingers is what's gonna bother ya.
I want you to understand something.
All of our clients, they're big spenders
with big profiles.
So screw your head on, 'cause you are responsible
for maintaining our image.
You're the first thing they see when they get here.
I want your tongue right up every single asshole
that drives through.
As the old man upstairs always says,
it's reputation that keeps the lights on,
and he pays me to make sure that everybody does
a good job, so don't let me down,
or I will shit all over you.
- I won't.
- Any questions?
Good.
[door slams]
[typing] [soft orchestral music]
- You all right?
- Yeah, I'm just taking my break.
- No problem.
Eh, you know where to sign.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Yes, can I help you?
Do you have an appointment to see someone sir?
No, I'm afraid we don't do that here.
This is private property.
[upbeat electronic music] [people chattering]
- Morning.
- Hey.
- You look lost.
- I've actually never been down here before.
- Oh.
Can I get you a table?
- No.
No thank you.
- So why are you down here?
- Oh, just taking my break.
[clapping] [cheering]
- Woo!
[clapping] [cheering]
What do you think?
- Yeah.
Good, great.
Good.
- What the fuck are you doing down here?
- Sorry, I was just taking my break.
- Can you check the tables please, sweetheart?
- Sure.
- Thanks, babe.
You were just taking your break.
Doesn't exactly answer my question now, does it?
[clears throat]
- I was looking for a toilet.
- Does this place look like a toilet to you?
- No.
- Is that what you're saying?
This place looks like a toilet?
- No.
- [Theo] Is that what you're saying?
- No.
- Do you work in this club?
- No.
Are you a member of this club?
- No.
- No, so I don't wanna see your little fuckin' face
in this club, comprende?
All right, get back to your booth, do some work.
Now, go on, fuck off.
Wait.
You've been warned.
- I'm sorry.
- [Theo] Will be, I catch you down here again.
[clattering] [rummaging]
- You know I got a daughter about your age.
She hates me.
Let me ask you a question.
What are you waiting for?
If you don't make your move, you're gonna regret it.
- What?
- With your girlfriend.
- She's not my girlfriend.
- Well you'd like her to be, right?
I can help you.
Come on.
Well are you coming, you're gonna stand out there all night?
I hate leavin' him.
Poor bastard, he must get lonely.
- [Zel] What's his name?
- Uh, Eddie.
What's yours?
- Zel.
Nice to meet you, Zel.
My name is Elliot.
You okay?
- Yeah.
Why?
- [Elliot] Why don't you sit down?
- I'm fine, thanks.
- Well don't be afraid.
- I'm not afraid.
- You can't tell me you're not afraid of that
girl downstairs.
I've seen you hide from her.
- I'm gonna go.
- [Elliot] Why?
- See you later.
- Hold on.
Why don't you sit down for a minute,
I wanna ask you a question.
Come on, just for a minute.
Bend your legs.
Come on.
[slow, dramatic music]
[Eddie squawks]
Do you dream about her?
- Sometimes.
- Let me ask you another question:
have you ever been in a dream and said to yourself,
"Hey wait a minute, I'm dreaming."
It's called lucid dreaming.
Essentially you're awake while you're asleep.
You can actually use your subconscious to rehearse
speaking to her, in your dream.
Now I usually charge people for these sessions,
but I'm happy to teach you the techniques.
You can practice it.
Because if you wanna contribute more, Zel,
you can be that guy.
- You make it sound easy.
- Yeah, well it can be.
Well not easy, but we all have the ability.
You can go to sleep tonight and wake up
and feel completely different about yourself.
What's her name?
- Jasmine.
- [Elliot] Does she know your name?
- No.
- [Elliot] Have you ever said a single word to her?
- No.
- [Elliot] Why don't you introduce yourself?
- 'Cause she'll think I'm a freak.
- There, right there, that's fear talking.
For all you know, Jasmine thinks you're cute.
I've met a lot of scared people like you,
and I've helped 'em all.
- I don't think dreaming about her is gonna make
her feel any differently about me.
- You're right, it won't.
But it will make you feel different about you.
Don't underestimate the power of dreams
and the sway they have over us and the decisions
we make without us even knowing it.
- I just don't see how a dream can change someone's life.
- When I was a boy, I started smoking,
and I smoked for most of my adult life.
And one day I woke up and I coughed up this pink goo
in my hand, and as a doctor, I knew that was cancer,
and it devastated me, and my family.
Then I woke up.
- A dream.
- I like to call it the dream that saved my life
'cause it made me quit smoking.
It's heavy shit, right?
Why don't you give this a shot?
See what it feels like to pull the strings for a change.
- I never remember my dreams.
- You on medication?
You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
[soft music]
- Diazepam.
- [Elliot] Anything else?
- Sleeping pills.
Sometimes.
- [Elliot] Is that it?
- Yeah.
- [Elliot] All right, well, you have to get off the meds
if you want this to work.
[soft, dramatic music]
[sniffles]
[coughing]
[knocking] [Zel gasps]
[spits]
- Elliot.
- [Elliot] Hey man.
Can I come in?
- Yeah, come in, sure.
- [Elliot] Thanks.
- Sorry about all the mess.
- No it's all right.
I can't stay long I gotta get back under.
- [Zel] Under?
- Yeah.
Working.
So?
You stop the pills?
- Yeah, I haven't taken any since I saw you last night.
- [Elliot] That's great.
And how do you feel about that?
- Yeah, I mean, I think I had a dream about her.
Don't really remember.
- Funny that.
Here you go.
- What's this?
- It's for you.
- There's nothing in it.
- Well yeah, for now.
Next time you wake up, I want you to write down
everything you did, everything you saw, where you were,
sights, smells, sounds, colors, everything.
- Okay.
Kind of like a diary.
- [Elliot] Yeah, kind of dream journal.
- How will this help?
- Well the more you write down what you see,
the more your mind will record that to your long term
memory and pretty soon you remember your dream events
as well as you do real events.
- All right yeah, I'll give it a try.
- Far out.
All right, so um, tonight when you're, uh,
going down, right, I want you to,
I want you to picture a place, I want you to think
about a place and concentrate 'cause your subconscious
mind's really gonna take you there.
- Then what?
- When you find, what's her name?
- Jasmine. - Jasmine.
Find Jasmine, and you talk to her, okay,
but you don't just talk to her.
You compliment her.
You make her feel real good about herself and you
practice the art of seduction.
In a safe space.
- Okay.
But how will I know that I'm in the dream?
- That is a very good question.
You um, look for the abnormalities,
you do a reality check, you question the world around you.
So, dreams.
Most of them take place indoors, so try to go outside
or look out a window, or if look at your hands.
If you can do that, then you know you're lucid,
but I got one question for you, Zel.
How do you know that this is not a dream?
Sike, I'm kiddin'.
Good luck.
[door opens]
See ya.
[door closes]

More.
Go on.
[muted rock music]
Good, better.
I need you to do some over time.
Can you stay on tonight?
- Mm.
I could.
- Excellent.
Also, lose the attitude.
People come here to have a good time.
Don't kill the vibe.
Smile a little bit, yeah?
Well come on then, let's have a look.
- What?
- [Theo] Smile.
- Smile now?
- [Theo] Yes smile now, I aint got all day.
- [Kat] Theo.
- Okay, um...
- [Theo] Is this a wind up?
- No, you told me to smile.
- [Theo] Yeah, properly, not like that.
- Okay.
- [Theo] Try and look happy.
Stop.
Go.
That's a bit better.
Stop.
I want up at the ends, yeah?
- [Kat] Theo.
- Yeah.
- And go.
Up at the ends.
That's a bit better.
- [Kat] Come on, we need to go.
[car starts up]
[buttons beeping]
- Watch yourself.
- Tomorrow my wife is staying at her sister's,
and I want you to come over,
and I want us to do what we did this morning,
all over again.
Okay?
Zel.
You finish?
- Yeah.
- Time to go home.
I'll see you tomorrow.
[typing] - Just a second.
[typing] [soft operatic music]
Signing out?
- Yeah.
- Same as last night.
Name and signature next to the time.
[soft, dramatic synth music]
- Mr. Richards, what an honor, sir.
What an honor to have you here sir.
How are we tonight, sir?
- Fine.
- Oh my, as I live and breathe, you look marvelous.
You look a million dollars.
You're the very picture of health, sir, two million dollars.

- Hey.
Can I get you anything? - No.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'm fine.
♪ Walks with a swift train
♪ Come back 'round
- Have we met?
- No.
Not yet.
[people chattering]
- You live upstairs.
[soft music] [people chattering]
I'd better go.
- Go where?
- Enjoy the show.
[electronic pop rock music] [people chattering]
[bartender singing in foreign language]
- Frankie?
[soft, sensual music]
[cheering] [applauding]
- Where did she go?
- She usually stays for a drink after the show.
[people chattering]
[whistles]
[people chattering]
Vodka martini for our beautiful Jasmine.
- Thank you.
[people chattering] [electronic music]
Did you enjoy the show?
[chuckles]
- Um, yeah.
Wow, it was, it was great.
- And what's your talent?
- My talent?
- [Jasmine] What do you do?
- I am about to start writing a book.
- [Jasmine] What's it about?
- It's gonna be based on dreams.
It's really about this girl, though.
- Just one?
[woman laughing]
Sorry, are you waiting for someone?
- Uh, no, why?
- You seem distracted.
- Sorry.
I just thought I saw someone.
- So who's this girl that you're writing about?
Is she here tonight?
- Maybe.
[people chattering] [soft music]
Hey.
Hey, wait.
[soft synth rock music]
[dramatic synth rock music]
Start off by hearing this sound, this music, playing,
and I can kind of feel my body almost
being dragged towards it.
My boss, he's at the bottom of the stairs
waiting for me and this guy hates me.
Brush him away, and it's brilliant.
So then I'm thinking at this band at the
back of the club, and they've all got these animals masks.
Then I see another girl, a waitress that I saw
days ago with my mum, but then I remembered what you said,
I have to find Jasmine.
So she is looking at me like she knows me,
and then I kind of lose her.
I don't know I'm dreaming at this point, by the way.
- What happened after you realized it was a dream?
- She danced.
- Is that it?
- She was naked.
- [Elliot] Fully?
- Almost.
- Did you write everything down in that book I gave you?
- [Zel] Everything I could remember.
- Great.
I'm gonna need that back later.
- [Zel] The way, the way she moved, oh.
- You keep filling that in, you're gonna have
a bestseller on your hands.
[chuckles] - I doubt that.
- There's that fear again.
Would you stop with that?
There's nothing to fear but fear itself.
- [Zel] Who said that?
- I did, just now.
- Is that not a famous quote?
- It's not important who said it first.
What's important is that you had your first lucid dream.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
- Do you think I should talk to her?
- Of course.
Ask her out on a date or something.
- A date?
No, no, no way.
- [Elliot] Why not?
- She'll say no.
- What is it with doubt?
Come on man.
Just be cool and imagine that you're wearing that
suit you had on in your dream.
You want Jasmine to like you, right?
- I'd like everyone to like me, but no one does.
- Oh, no one likes you?
- I don't really like myself to be honest.
- I don't like you, or this guy, anyway.
Come on, I've known you like two days
and I can tell you're a humble guy with a good heart.
You should meet the asshole that my daughter's
sleeping with.
- I don't know.
I don't think I'm ready.
- Of course you're ready.
Just do what you did last night, be the boss.
Things aren't so scary the second time around.
[soft, dramatic music]
- Hi.
- [Jasmine] Hey.
[soft, dramatic music]
[hip hop music]
- Hello, sir.
- Sorry?
- I don't understand what you're saying.
[buttons beeping]

[car starts up]
[hip hop music]
[tires skidding]
- Hey.
- I still don't know your name.
- It's Zel.
- Huh, cool name.
- Thanks.
[chuckles]
- I'm Kat.
- Kat's a good name.
- Yeah?
You think so?
- Yeah.
- Hey, um.
Look, I'm sorry about Theo.
He can be a little harsh sometimes.
- Mm.
I doubt I'll be here much longer anyway.
- Are you enjoying the job?
- Nope. [chuckles]
But I, I really need the money.
- What's it like working down here?
- Hm, pretty boring.
Just go on autopilot.
Same faces, same expensive cars.
- Huh.
Well, uh, don't go forgettin' this face.
[buttons beeping]

- More gratinee, sir?
- No, leave us alone.
- Foie gras for the lady, sir?
- Go away.
- Of course, sir.
- I wanted to ask you something.
- What is it?
- I was wondering if you wanted to go for dinner sometime.
[soft music]
- If you're paying, then yeah.
[chuckles] - Yeah, yeah.
Of course.
- Why don't we do something else?
Let's do something crazy.
- Like what?
- Let's leave.
- Leave?
- Yeah, let's get out of here.
- And go where?
- I want to be with you when you're awake.
- It's not possible.
- Why?
- Because when I wake up, you'll be gone.
- That's not true.
- I wish you were real.
I'm sorry, that was mean.
[soft acoustic music]
- Do you feel this?
- Yeah.
- Then it's real.
[upbeat music]
[phone ringing]
- [Georgina] Hi, darling.
I hope you're okay.
I just wanted to send my love, see you later.
Don't be late.
Love you. [kissing]
[knocks]
- I did it.
- That is great.
Did what?
- [Zel] I spoke to her.
- Who?
- Jasmine.
- Right.
- You don't seem too excited.
- Yeah well you just woke me up, so.
- Shit, I'm so sorry.
- It happens, all the time.
Uh, why don't you come back tonight?
We'll talk about it.
- [Zel] I can't, I've got family, dinner thing
I need to get to.
- Well you are a lucky man.
Another time then.
Look, you hang up first.
I'm not gonna close the door on you.
Walk away.
Walk away, walk away.
[door opens]
- Hey.
Sorry, what did you say your name was again?
- Zel.
Which way are you going?
- Oh, um.
- Well I'm actually going that way too, so, uh,
should we go together?
- Together?
Yeah.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, let's walk, yeah.
[birds chirping]
Do you dance?
[laughs]
- Are you asking me to dance?
[chuckles] - No, no.
No, you just, uh, you look like a dancer.
You have a dancer's body.
The shape of your body, I mean.
- Thanks.
I am a dancer.
I'm actually on my way to an audition right now.
- Wow.
Good luck.
- Thanks.
I'm feeling confident.
- That's good.
- What do you do for work?
- I work at a members club.
- Which one?
- DePaul.
- Sounds cool.
What do you do there?
- Work in the car park.
- Oh.
What's that like?
- Well, I don't do that all the time, you know.
I kind of get down there a lot to greet members and,
you know, maintain the image of the club.
You know, reputation's kind of what keeps
the lights turned on.
- So what's your position?
- I'm the manager.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- You're the boss? - Yeah, yeah.
[chuckles]
[birds chirping]
- I'd better go catch my train.
- Okay.
- Zed, right? - Zel.
Zel Richards.
- Sorry, I won't forget again.
- Jasmine?
[chuckles]
- Yeah?
- Nevermind.
Bye.
Jasmine?
Sorry.
Just uh, just wondering.
- Yeah?
[birds chirping]
- Do you wanna go for dinner sometime?
- When?
- Uh, tomorrow, or whenever you're free.
- I could do tomorrow.
There's a new Lebanese restaurant next to my studio.
- Yeah, anywhere you want.
- Great.
Well, um, come and pick me up around eight o'clock?
And I'll be ready.
- Okay.
[chuckles]
Oh.

- "Fine."
What was that?
- Dear.
- [Holly] Oh, I love you.
- When are you two gonna hurry up and get married?
- When I'm ready.
- [Georgina] She's not gonna wait forever, you know.
- [Arron] I'm worth the wait.
[soft clattering]
- You're not eating.
- Darling, what's the matter?
- I think I'll bring Jasmine next time.
- Who?
- Uh, Jasmine.
- Who is Jasmine? - What?
- My girlfriend.
- [Arron] Where did she come from?
- She lives in my building.
- [David] And what does she do for a living?
- She's a dancer.
- [Arron] Nice.
- Oh.
Zel.
[kisses]
You've really made my day.
- It's about time you got some.
- Stop that.
- Come on now, you can eat your dinner.
[soft synth music]
- [Jasmine] Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Oh hi.
- [Zel] Hey.
Where are you going?
- I got the job.
They're flying me out tonight.
- Flying where?
- Las Vegas.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
- [Zel] When do you think you'll be back?
- Um, well, it's a 12 month contract, so who knows.
- [Man] All right.
When you're ready, love.
- [Jasmine] Thank you.
- We could do the dinner another time then.
- Yeah, um, you know if you're ever in Vegas,
then look me up.
Bye, Zed.
- [Zel] It's Zel.
[soft, dramatic synth music]
Why Vegas?
[Jasmine laughs]
- Why not?
- It's a really long way.
I mean, why go all the way there to dance
when you can just work here?
- It's the entertainment capital of the world.
How can I turn that down?
- Easy.
Just say no.
- I'll be back next year.
Why can't you just be happy for me?
This is my dream.
[slow, dramatic music]
- If you wanna leave, then that's your decision.
- Jas. [Theo claps]
You're on in 10, babe.
- I've got to go.
- No you don't.
[slow, dramatic music]
- Bye, Zel.
- Wait-- [dramatic music]
Get off, man.
- I know you hate me, don't you Zel?
- Let go of me.
- Well why don't you just tell me
how you really feel about me?
- Let go of me, please.
- Have a word with me, kid.
- Stop.
- Zel!
She's gone, man.
[sniffles]
Are you okay?
[Zel sniffling]
- No.

[footsteps echoing]
[soft, dramatic music]
- Senor!

Where is everyone?
- Your beautiful Jasmine.
[slow, dramatic music]
[tense, dramatic music]
- What the fuck are you doing down here?
I said what the fuck are you doing down here?
- Nothing.

Fuckin' nothing?
I warned you, didn't I?
Didn't I warn you?

[clicking] [tense, dramatic music]
- Hey.
How's it going?
- [Zel] Fine.
- So when do we get to meet your girlfriend?
- My girlfriend?
- Yeah, Frankie said you had a girlfriend.
You should bring her out tonight.
We're all going for drinks after work.
- Yeah, you should come.
- She just got a job in Vegas.
- Oh.
That sucks.
For you, I mean.
- Yeah, that sucks.
- Come out and party with us anyway.
It'll be fun.
- Yeah, do it.
- Um, I'm working 'til late.
- So are we.
Meet us in the club, and we'll wait for you.
- [Zel] Not allowed in.
- Leave Theo to me.
I'll work my magic.
[buttons beeping]
- See you later.
[gate opens]
[slow, tense dramatic music]
- Thanks.
- [Mandy] We're still on for tonight?
- Um.
- Oi.
Mate.
Glad I caught ya.
How you doin', you all right?
- [Zel] Yep, good.
- Good, good, good, good.
Uh, quick question.
How would you feel about having a nice lie in
tomorrow and not having to get up and come to work?
- Sounds good.
- Good, good.
'Cause I'm letting you go.
You're fired.
- Why?
- Oh no mate, look, don't make me feel guilty.
I hate that, you know.
- Please Theo, let me prove myself.
- I gave you a chance and all you proved is you're
about as charming as a pubic hair in a cheese sandwich.
- I really need this job.
- Mate, look, no.
I don't wanna waste your time, or my time,
especially my time, okay?
So I'm gonna give it to you straight, son.
You do not have the personality for this business,
or any personality for any business,
to be honest with you mate.
I mean, probably you could do something else, like uh,
I don't know, something where you're not around people,
you know what I mean?
Where you don't have to interact,
where your personality isn't gonna be a problem.
I think you'd be brilliant in another job.
In the meantime, just, no disrespect, but, fuck off.
[soft orchestral music]
What are you still doing here?
[soft orchestral music]
- Fuck you.
- [Theo] I beg your pardon?
- Fuck you.
I quit.
[soft orchestral music]
- Fair play, yeah.
- Zed.
So this is where you work.
- Not anymore.
What are you doing here?
- I'm just inside with some friends.
- What about Vegas?
- Vegas?
- Yeah.
You said you got the job.
- What job?
- You had the audition.
- How do you know about my audition?
- Because you told me.
[chuckles]
- Is this a joke?
- You um, you had a suitcase.
You were going to the airport.
Jasmine.
Jasmine, I saw you drive away.
[soft music]
- Has anyone ever told you that you're fucking crazy?
[dramatic percussive music]
- I'm sorry, do I know you?
- What?
- Just kiddin'.
Come on, where you been, stranger?
Come in.
What's wrong?
Remember roughly what time it was when you saw her?
- When she left for the airport?
- No, when you saw her outside the club.
- Um.
I don't know what time it was, but it was late.
- What did you do after you saw her?
After she freaked out.
- She, she went inside the club.
- [Eliot] No, what did you do?
- I don't know.
- Well think.
- I think I went home.
- Well don't think, be sure.
[Zel sniffles]
- I woke up.
- Well there you go.
You're no crazier than the rest of us.
- I was outside.
- [Elliot] So what?
- I always lucid dream in the club.
- You didn't know you were dreaming so
you weren't lucid dreaming.
- But you said these dreams take place indoors,
I was outside.
- I said most of the time they take place inside.
Because we spend most of our time inside,
our subconscious tends to put a roof over our heads
when we dream.
- So...
So she's gone?
- Well, she doesn't have to be.
- Elliot, I wanna live in the real world again.
- Really?
I like the other world.
I get to be a polygamist.
No one judges me.
I can fly.
- I just don't wanna sail through my life
not knowing what's real.
- Well I warned you when I gave you that
dream journal that if you commit to this,
that dream events will be remembered as clearly
as real events.
- Why does your daughter hate you?
- You wanna know why I don't talk about my family?
My marriage fell apart and my daughter blames me.
- Why did your marriage fall apart?
- 'Cause I slept through it.
- Where is your wife now?
- She died.
- I'm so sorry.
- Don't be.
[door opens]
- [Zel] I didn't mean to--
- Hey.
Hi.
This is Zel.
He lives in the building.
- Hello.
- Hey.
- [Zel] Yeah, I'm gonna get going.
- What's the rush?
[door opens]
[door closes]
So?
Is everything...
[door opens]
[door closes]
Same as usual?
[Eddie squawks]
So why does your family hate you?
[door opens]
- I didn't expect to see you in there.
- I had no idea.
- Why did you run out like that?
- I'm sorry.
Just been a really messed up week and when
you walked in it just tripped me out.
- It's all good.
- I'm really sorry about last night.
- What happened?
We waited for you.
- I quit.
- I know.
Mandy already told me.
- What did she tell you?
- That you told Theo to go fuck himself.
[chuckles]
- Yeah.
I think I did.
- I'm gonna go meet Mandy and Frankie now
if you wanna come.
- Sure.
[car beeping]
[electronic pop music]
[people chattering]
- What's your star sign?
- Oh, I'm an Aquarius.
Why?
- That's gonna be a problem.
- Why is it a problem?
- I used to date an Aquarius and you guys
are no good for me.
- You hardly know me.
- I know your type.
- What's my type?
- You're unconventional and passionate in everything
that you do, but, you never really know what you want.
- I don't really know much about horoscopes.
- Yeah, horoscopes are bullshit.
They're written so vague.
People read into them whatever they wanna hear.
- Right, so,
you believe in star signs but you don't
believe in horoscopes?
- It's not about beliefs.
It's science.
If we're made of star dust,
is it not logical to think that the stars hold
a map to where we're going?
- I guess I've never really thought of it
like that before.
[people chattering]
[funky electronic music]
- Hey.
[people chattering]
Are you all right?
- [Mandy] Kitty!
- Hey.
- What's up?
- [Mandy] Hi.
- Zel.
Why don't we go get some shots for the girls?
Four pinks please, man.
She likes you, by the way.
- What?
- Mandy told me.
- I had a dream about him,
of an intimate nature.
- Oh my.
- Oh shit.
Can you tell the girls I just went to buy cigarettes
or something?
- Hm, this is very interesting.
- No it's not, and we don't need to tell him.
- No. - No.
[electronic pop music] [people chattering]
- [Theo] Hi babe.
- [Kat] Hey.
- What are you doing here?
- Just chillin', isn't it?
- [Mandy] Cheers.
- Cheers.
- I'm just gonna get a proper drink shall I?
- Kat, tell young Zel here about the dream you had.
- A dream?
- It's about you.
- Shut up, Mandy.
- You had a dream about me?
- I'm gonna go and see where Frankie is.
[people chattering] [electronic pop music]
- Um...
Have you ever had a dream so good
that it made you really mad to wake up?
[chuckles] - Yeah.
Those are nice.
- Do you lucid dream?
- Do you?
- All the time.
[chuckles]
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
I mean, not obsessively like my dad.
You know he used to be a real doctor, right?
- Really?
- Yeah, he was a therapist, but now he just...
- What did I miss?
- We were talking about dreams.
- Lucid dreams, actually.
- Fascinating.
[laughs]
- I told you a little bit about them,
it's what my dad practices.
- Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, you do talk a lot darling, do you know what I mean?
You can't expect me to keep up with all the crazy shit
that you and your dad are into.
- You should try it.
You could practice not being a dick.
[Kat laughing]
- You ever try boxing?
- No.
- [Theo] Maybe you should practice that.
- [Kat] Theo.
- It'd be good for him.
Get him down to the gym, toughen him up a little bit,
get a little beef on there.
You up for goin' a few rounds with me, aren't ya?
- I don't box.
- What?
- [Zel] I don't box.
- [Theo] I can't hear you mate, what?
- I don't box.
- What?
Oh, didn't see that comin', did ya?
- [Kat] Come on.
- Don't touch me.
- [Theo] Why not?
- Because I don't know where your hands have been
and I don't want them anywhere near me.
- Oh mate, my hands have been everywhere that
yours haven't, do you know what I mean?
[kissing]
- You're gonna lose her.
- Is that what your crystal ball tells ya, Mystic Mick?
- You'll keep treating people badly until you
learn your lesson, but by then it's gonna be too late.
The damage will already be done,
then you'll have no one left around you.
- I think maybe now you should just keep
your fuckin' mouth shut.
- You're a low life sadist, Theo,
who pretends to love himself, but really,
you're empty inside.
Your parents probably never cared about you,
which is why you are so incapable of showing kindness
to anybody else.
- Fuckin' say one more thing, mate.
Say one more fuckin' thing, I dare ya.
[chuckles]
[people chattering] [upbeat pop music]
Fuckin' hell.
[people chattering] [upbeat pop music]
It's just banter, babe.
It's just banter.
[upbeat pop music]
- Are you okay?
[muted pop music]
- I'm going home.
[muted pop music] [people chattering]
- Can I come with you?
[soft music]
[laughing]
- [Zel] You okay?
- [Kat] Goddam heels.
- [Zel] You all right?
[Kat laughing]
Shush, you're gonna wake people up.
- [Kat] Shh, don't wanna wake up daddy. [laughs]
- I know, it needs a little clean.
- It's cool, you should see my place.
[knocking]
Who's that?
- Don't know.
Elliot.
- Hey.
I was wondering if you'd do me a favor.
I need you to keep an eye out here for Eddie.
- Sure.
- Thanks.
I've gotta go out and uh, do something.
Um, so I'm just gonna give you a key,
but I figured, I'd rather he were here with you.
There's food in the cage and, uh,
make sure she's watered.
- Okay.
- Cool.
[Eddie chirps]
Tell Kat I love her.
You don't have to explain, I know you're a good kid,
and uh,
you just be safe
and uh, put in a good word for me.
Hi.
- [Kat] Hi, dad.
Bye, dad.
- Bye.
Fuckin' A.
[chuckles]
- Where'd you find that?
- Oh, it was on the floor.
These your dreams?
[soft, tinkling music]
- Yeah.
I mean, not all of them.
- Is Jasmine your girlfriend?
[soft, tinkling music]
You wrote about me?
- Hey.
- It's okay, don't be embarrassed.
- No, it's personal stuff, you know.
- Yeah.
What are you thinking about?
- You.
[soft music]
Kat.
- What?
- I've never done this before.
[soft orchestral music]
[strange, tense music]
[Zel gasps]
- [Jasmine] You seem distracted.
Who's this girl that you're writing about?
To be with you.
That's not true.
Do you feel this?
This is my dream.
To be with you when you're awake.
Then it's real.
Bye, Zed!
[Zel gasps]
[heavy breathing] [Kat groans]
- [Kat] Hey.
You okay?
[soft, tinkling music]
[soft music]
[soft, tinkling music]
