and gather up the information
that's important to your industry

and then discuss it
with other like-minded individuals.

00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,660
Yes, actually. In high school,
my friend Kelly was in a car accident.

00:06:50,078 --> 00:06:51,829
Oh, that's awful.

00:06:52,288 --> 00:06:53,581

00:06:53,664 --> 00:06:56,167
Hmm. Sad.
168
00:06:56,250 --> 00:06:58,586
But then I kind of, like,
took over her position in the friend group.
169
00:06:58,669 --> 00:07:01,255
Like, we were always truly meant to be
a fivesome, not a sixsome.
170

00:07:13,726 --> 00:07:15,645

She was so funny and cute,
177
00:07:18,022 --> 00:07:20,817
and I used to love her a lot.
178
00:07:22,110 --> 00:07:24,028
I just used to tickle her all the time.
179
00:07:24,112 --> 00:07:25,613
You know, I don't even have a picture of her.
180
00:07:25,696 --> 00:07:27,573
How did she die?
181
00:07:27,657 --> 00:07:29,909
Uh, she, like, choked on vomit or something.
182
00:07:31,702 --> 00:07:32,954
You should visit her mom,
183
00:07:33,037 --> 00:07:35,498
or, like, her grave if her mom is dead
184
00:07:35,581 --> 00:07:38,209
and bring flowers, or, like,
her Facebook In Memoriam site.
185
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:41,629
- Yeah, maybe.
- No, seriously.
186
00:07:41,712 --> 00:07:44,423
Like, you need to process this.
You need to grieve it out.
187
00:07:44,507 --> 00:07:46,884
Like, when Kelly died,
I wrote a book of poems about her.
188
00:07:48,302 --> 00:07:49,387
Who's Kelly?
189
00:07:49,971 --> 00:07:51,848
My friend in high school who died.
190
00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:53,599
You had a friend who died?
191
00:07:53,683 --> 00:07:56,394
We literally just had this conversation.
192

(ADAM SNORING)
193
00:08:09,532 --> 00:08:10,491
Where are you headed?
194
00:08:10,575 --> 00:08:12,243
I'm gonna go work an extra shift at Ray's.
195
00:08:12,326 --> 00:08:13,953
He's understaffed, and anyway,
196
00:08:14,036 --> 00:08:16,414
it doesn't really seem like
I should quit my day job.
197
00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:17,790
Don't talk like that.
198
00:08:17,874 --> 00:08:19,333
Well, what am I supposed to talk like?
199
00:08:19,417 --> 00:08:22,170
- No one will tell me anything about my book.
- (GROANS)
200
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,257
Really, Adam? Still too soon for you?
201
00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:32,096
Dude, cut me a fucking break.
Why are you mad at me?
202
00:08:32,180 --> 00:08:34,015
I'm not mad.
203
00:08:34,098 --> 00:08:35,850
I'm scared.
204
00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:37,852
You're scared?
205
00:08:38,936 --> 00:08:40,354
What are you scared of?
206
00:08:40,438 --> 00:08:45,026
Of how you'd act if something, like,
real happened to us.
207
00:08:45,109 --> 00:08:48,863
Like, if I died, would you just be like,
"Oh, I hope I can make rent."
208
00:08:48,946 --> 00:08:54,410
If you died, I would be extremely disoriented,
extremely sad,
209
00:08:54,493 --> 00:08:57,413
and I would also be anxious about
how I would make rent, yes.
210
00:08:57,496 --> 00:08:59,040
"Extremely sad"?
211
00:08:59,123 --> 00:09:01,542
Yeah, if you died, I'd be extremely sad.
212
00:09:01,626 --> 00:09:03,878
If you died, the world would blur.
213
00:09:04,295 --> 00:09:05,755
I wouldn't know what a tree was.
214
00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:08,883
Well, that's really nice.
It makes me feel very good.
215
00:09:08,966 --> 00:09:11,677
You know, I think all the time about
what I'd say at your funeral,
216
00:09:11,761 --> 00:09:14,055
about how I'd say that you were my partner
and you were my lover
217
00:09:14,138 --> 00:09:17,808
and how one summer you lived in a tent
on a roof in Bed-Stuy
218
00:09:17,892 --> 00:09:19,852
and you drank rainwater.
219
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:24,774
I don't know.
220
00:09:24,857 --> 00:09:26,817
I think about you dying all the time.
221
00:09:33,366 --> 00:09:35,284
So, I lost a friend yesterday.
222
00:09:35,618 --> 00:09:37,078
Close friend.
223
00:09:37,703 --> 00:09:40,831
Marnie finally decided to throw in the towel?
224
00:09:40,915 --> 00:09:43,876
No, Ray, it was my editor
and collaborator,
225
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,003
David Pressler-Goings.
226
00:09:46,379 --> 00:09:48,422
He was found facedown in the Hudson River
227
00:09:48,506 --> 00:09:50,466
and Gawker is saying it's not drugs,
228
00:09:50,549 --> 00:09:54,720
but we in the literary community
are left scratching our heads.
229
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:57,515
- RAY: Jesus.
- Thank you.
230
00:09:57,598 --> 00:09:59,141
CUSTOMER: Thanks.
231
00:09:59,225 --> 00:10:01,435
How do you feel? Do you want to go home?
232
00:10:01,894 --> 00:10:04,021
You know, I actually feel nothing.
233
00:10:04,105 --> 00:10:06,691
Like, I literally feel nothing.
234
00:10:06,774 --> 00:10:09,068
Like, maybe I'm numb,
but I don't even feel numb.
235
00:10:09,151 --> 00:10:10,569
I feel nothing.
236
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:14,949
But, yeah, I would love to go home
if that's okay with you.
237
00:10:15,032 --> 00:10:18,828
Hannah, why don't you place just one crumb
of basic human compassion
238
00:10:18,911 --> 00:10:21,998
on this fat-free muffin
of sociopathic detachment?
239
00:10:22,081 --> 00:10:24,041
- See how it tastes.
- You sound like Adam.
240
00:10:24,125 --> 00:10:26,210
It's like there's more than
one way to feel something.
241
00:10:26,294 --> 00:10:31,048
Do you feel something every single time
someone you kind of know dies?
242
00:10:31,257 --> 00:10:33,426
I don't know.
Why don't you try it and we'll find out?
243
00:10:35,136 --> 00:10:36,470
Hannah, you don't think it's slightly odd
244
00:10:36,554 --> 00:10:38,097
that I feel worse than you do right now,
245
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:39,765
and the one time I met this dude,
246
00:10:39,849 --> 00:10:42,643
he hurled me across the room
into a small table?
247
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:46,522
Hey!
248
00:10:47,565 --> 00:10:49,150
It's Jessa.
249
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:52,903
Yeah, I know, it's been a very long time.
250
00:10:52,987 --> 00:10:55,156
I, um... I...
251
00:10:56,073 --> 00:10:59,201
I know, I can't believe I am still alive either.
252
00:10:59,285 --> 00:11:00,411
Um...
253
00:11:00,494 --> 00:11:01,829
So, speaking of which,
254
00:11:01,912 --> 00:11:05,624
listen, I really wanted to visit
255
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:07,752
Season's tomb.
256
00:11:09,337 --> 00:11:13,257
Season, her sarcophagus.
257
00:11:14,759 --> 00:11:16,427
Like, her grave. Where...
258
00:11:18,095 --> 00:11:19,638
What do you mean?
259
00:11:23,434 --> 00:11:24,810
What?
260
00:11:26,270 --> 00:11:27,938
What?
261
00:11:31,817 --> 00:11:33,819
- Oh, hey, Laird.
- Hey, Hannah.
262
00:11:33,903 --> 00:11:37,365
Uh, you've... You've caught me spiffing.
263
00:11:37,448 --> 00:11:39,200
- Looks amazing.
- Thank you.
264
00:11:39,283 --> 00:11:41,452
I thought the halls could use a little art.
265
00:11:41,786 --> 00:11:44,288
- How are you?
- Uh... I'm okay.
266
00:11:44,372 --> 00:11:47,792
I don't want to be a total downer,
but I lost a close friend yesterday.
267
00:11:49,835 --> 00:11:51,796
I'm so sorry to hear that.
268
00:11:54,673 --> 00:11:56,884
- That's okay, Laird.
- Very sorry.
269
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:59,470
- Thank you.
- So sorry to hear that. That's terrible.
270
00:11:59,553 --> 00:12:00,679
Thank you.
271
00:12:00,763 --> 00:12:02,348
I'm just... I'm just sorry.
272
00:12:02,431 --> 00:12:05,059
- I really don't care. So...
- Okay.
273
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:08,396
It's my first death, so I'm kinda numbed.
274
00:12:08,479 --> 00:12:10,189
Yeah, I get it,
275
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:14,443
and you're just gonna get number when it all
starts to come like a waterfall.
276

(SIGHS) My whole life has been death.
277
00:12:17,613 --> 00:12:19,740
Everyone around me has died.
278
00:12:20,032 --> 00:12:22,493
Sometimes at dinner
when I'm sitting at my table,
279
00:12:22,576 --> 00:12:26,414
I just imagine I am in dialogue
with all my dead ones.
280
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:31,085
Who do you know who's died?
281
00:12:31,168 --> 00:12:32,920
Literally everyone.
282
00:12:33,587 --> 00:12:35,714
Even this lady has died.
283
00:12:35,798 --> 00:12:38,384
- Oh, my God.
- Mmm-hmm. It's my turtle.

286

I'm so sorry, Laird. That's just...
287
00:12:45,307 --> 00:12:47,017
That's the fucking worst.
288
00:12:47,351 --> 00:12:49,937
Hey, Caroline.
Laird was just showing me his...
289
00:12:50,020 --> 00:12:53,149
It's a turtle carcass. It's my turtle carcass.
290
00:12:53,232 --> 00:12:54,775

- Come with me. I'll buy you a cup of tea.

Okay.
297
00:13:10,541 --> 00:13:13,252
Will you join us, odd face?

That'd be great.

This is not an urgent project,
300
00:13:17,339 --> 00:13:19,383
but it is something I'd like to return to.
301

considered a monster

for caring what happens to my work.
304
00:13:29,018 --> 00:13:31,812
I've always been incredibly invested
in my work
305
00:13:31,896 --> 00:13:34,773
and knew it would be really hard
for whatever man ended up with me.
306

quizzing me more about Adam,

in the school play

his tiny little penis as a child.

No, I'm gonna call you secure.

Looks like you've got it all figured out,
349
00:16:07,551 --> 00:16:10,346
with your brownstone and your baby
350
00:16:10,429 --> 00:16:12,681
and your cool-looking husband.
351
00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:15,851
Don't call me when your life's in shambles.
352
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:16,977
I won't.
353
00:16:17,061 --> 00:16:20,230
None of this is gonna work out for you,
by the way.

Here is your tricolore,
and here's your...
355
00:16:27,780 --> 00:16:29,156
- (WHAT I AM PLAYING)
- Thing.
356
00:16:29,239 --> 00:16:32,076
- Thanks, can I just get a small...
- Yeah, one second.
357
00:16:32,576 --> 00:16:34,995
What I am is what I am
358
00:16:35,079 --> 00:16:37,665
Are you what you are or what?
359
00:16:37,748 --> 00:16:40,501
What I am is what I am
360
00:16:40,584 --> 00:16:42,544
Are you what you are or...
361
00:16:42,961 --> 00:16:45,839
- RAY: Look at that.
- Oh, I'm so excited.
362
00:16:45,923 --> 00:16:47,341
Knock, knock.
363
00:16:47,424 --> 00:16:48,926
- Hey, Marn.
- (MUSIC STOPS)
364
00:16:49,968 --> 00:16:53,430
What's up?
I was just showing Herm your music.
365
00:16:53,514 --> 00:16:55,265
You were showing him my music fail?
366
00:16:55,349 --> 00:16:57,518
- Is that what you guys were doing?
- HERMIE: Uh, I think it's great.
367
00:16:57,601 --> 00:17:00,521
You actually have a better understanding
of that song than Edie Brickell did.
368
00:17:00,604 --> 00:17:02,648
- Oh, fuck you, Hermie.
- RAY: Hey, come on.
369
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:04,483
MARNIE: Why would you show
him this video, Ray?
370
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:07,486
Because it's, you know, a bold and pioneering
371
00:17:07,569 --> 00:17:09,363
form of self-expression.
372
00:17:09,738 --> 00:17:11,824
Brickell sang it with, like, a playful vibe,
373
00:17:11,907 --> 00:17:14,076
but it's actually much more severe.
374
00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:17,037
It's about knowing... What you are.
375
00:17:17,454 --> 00:17:18,789
RAY: Right, right.
376
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:20,457
And about me knowing what I am
377
00:17:20,541 --> 00:17:22,543
and asking if you are what you are.
378
00:17:22,626 --> 00:17:23,961
Or what?
379
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:25,713
That's so cute, you two.
380
00:17:25,796 --> 00:17:27,005
That's not even fucking original.
381
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:28,716
You don't think I've heard that
in the last couple weeks?
382
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:30,718
- Marnie, come on.
- No, seriously.
383
00:17:30,801 --> 00:17:32,302
You think my life is so funny.
384
00:17:32,386 --> 00:17:33,971
Like, "Oh, let's make fun of the girl
385
00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:36,223
"who took a risk and put herself
out there creatively."
386
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:38,726
Which, by the way, is not something
either of you have to worry about
387
00:17:38,809 --> 00:17:41,353
because no one wants to see you
and you can't do anything.
388
00:17:41,437 --> 00:17:43,605
(SIGHS) Okay, Marnie, maybe you should take
the rest of the day off.
389
00:17:43,689 --> 00:17:45,691
Maybe you should take the rest of the day off.
390
00:17:45,899 --> 00:17:47,401
Do you even want to work here anymore?
391
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:49,278
Of course I don't want to work here.
392
00:17:49,361 --> 00:17:53,240
This place fucking sucks.
No one wants to work here.
393
00:17:53,323 --> 00:17:54,616
Okay.
394
00:17:55,534 --> 00:17:57,286
All right, well, I guess that settles it, then.
395
00:17:57,369 --> 00:17:58,829
- Great.
- Great.
396
00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:00,664
- MARNIE: Thank you.
- Fantastic. You're welcome.
397
00:18:00,748 --> 00:18:02,541
MARNIE: Consider this a community service.
398
00:18:02,624 --> 00:18:06,545
I am so done. Do you know what kind of work
I am qualified to do out in the world?
399
00:18:06,628 --> 00:18:08,046
No idea whatsoever.
400
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,007
- The kind of people that want me?
- Why don't you clue us in?
401
00:18:10,090 --> 00:18:11,717
We don't have the faintest clue.
402
00:18:11,842 --> 00:18:13,969
Fancy people wanna work with me,
403
00:18:14,052 --> 00:18:16,889
so I'm gonna give them that pleasure
and I'm gonna go work with them.
404
00:18:16,972 --> 00:18:18,640
So fuck you both, have a nice day,
405
00:18:18,724 --> 00:18:20,058
enjoy the rest of the video.

00:18:20,893 --> 00:18:22,352

Whoo!
417
00:19:12,486 --> 00:19:14,905
Very sorry about that.

(ALL LAUGHING)
419
00:19:24,915 --> 00:19:27,584
You know, medication did make me feel less.
420
00:19:28,418 --> 00:19:30,170
- It did?
- Yeah.
421
00:19:30,254 --> 00:19:32,673
See, that's really not good for a writer.
422
00:19:32,756 --> 00:19:35,175
Yeah, but it's really good for a person.
423
00:19:35,259 --> 00:19:37,010
It's too exhausting feeling all that.
424
00:19:37,094 --> 00:19:39,805
I mean, God, I would wake up happy,
425
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:41,807
eat breakfast despondent,
426
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:44,059
wonder about eternity on the walk to work,
427
00:19:44,142 --> 00:19:45,811
and then feel comfortably numb for hours.
428
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:48,188
It's just too much, the roller coaster of it all.
429
00:19:48,272 --> 00:19:49,940
I wanted to die.
430
00:19:50,941 --> 00:19:53,777
See, when I was doing so badly,
I couldn't see outside myself,
431
00:19:53,861 --> 00:19:56,738
and now I can, but I don't even know
if it's any better
432
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:58,699
'cause Adam's gonna figure out
what I'm actually like
433
00:19:58,782 --> 00:20:00,617
and there's no way he's gonna like it
434
00:20:00,701 --> 00:20:02,452
because he has such a depth of feeling,
435
00:20:02,536 --> 00:20:04,329
and no one can even rival that.
436
00:20:04,413 --> 00:20:05,831
I definitely can't,
437
00:20:05,914 --> 00:20:08,375
and soon he's gonna
get bored and feel stifled
438
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:12,170
by being with someone who can't match
his strength of emotion.
439
00:20:15,966 --> 00:20:18,552
Did Adam ever tell you about Margaret?
440
00:20:19,511 --> 00:20:21,972
Mmm-mmm. Is she an ex?
'Cause I don't care about that stuff.
441
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:25,809
- I just don't even ask.
- No, she was our cousin.
442
00:20:26,977 --> 00:20:29,062
But she died when she was 12.
443
00:20:29,438 --> 00:20:31,523
Muscular dystrophy.
444
00:20:31,607 --> 00:20:33,817
That's awful. I'm so sorry.
445
00:20:33,901 --> 00:20:37,404
It was really awful, but from the time
she was five years old,
446
00:20:37,487 --> 00:20:40,824
he started going over there every single day,
447
00:20:41,283 --> 00:20:43,076
and he would sit there in the living room
448
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,706
next to her hospital bed holding her hand,
playing with her.
449
00:20:48,332 --> 00:20:50,417
He did anything she asked.
450
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:53,712
He would dance like a princess for hours
if she wanted him to,
451
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:57,049
which, you can imagine,
he was really good at that.
452
00:20:57,132 --> 00:21:01,386
But all she wanted to do,
really, before she died,
453
00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:04,222
was go to a real high school dance, you know.
454
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:07,309
So, Adam, his senior year,
455
00:21:07,392 --> 00:21:10,646
told his girlfriend that he wasn't gonna
take her to the dance,
456
00:21:10,729 --> 00:21:13,482
and instead he went out
and he spent all of his savings
457
00:21:13,565 --> 00:21:15,651
from working at the supermarket.
458
00:21:15,734 --> 00:21:19,363
He bought Margaret this beautiful,
459
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:22,574
teeny-tiny little dress
460
00:21:22,658 --> 00:21:25,327
and he wheeled her onto that dance floor,
461
00:21:25,410 --> 00:21:29,456
lifted her into his arms
for the final sweeping song.
462
00:21:30,332 --> 00:21:32,084
When she died the following week,
463
00:21:32,167 --> 00:21:37,714
she was clutching the wilted corsage
he had given her in one hand
464
00:21:38,799 --> 00:21:40,926
while holding his in the other.

It's a rough one, but I really thought
you should know.
468
00:21:47,516 --> 00:21:51,311
Wait, so was it a tiny dress because
she was, like, tiny from the disease,
469
00:21:51,395 --> 00:21:52,437
or was it like a...
470
00:21:52,521 --> 00:21:54,147
Oh, my God.
471
00:21:54,231 --> 00:21:56,149
(LAUGHING) Oh, my God. What?
472
00:21:56,233 --> 00:21:58,819
I just didn't know if the disease
had made her really tiny.
473
00:22:01,571 --> 00:22:04,491
Oh, my God.
474
00:22:04,574 --> 00:22:07,494
You know what? Now it makes sense
why Adam's being so irrational.
475
00:22:07,577 --> 00:22:08,745
This puts it all into perspective.
476
00:22:08,829 --> 00:22:10,914
No, it doesn't, because I made it up!

- "That is so fucked up"?
- Are you serious?
