00:00:13,846 --> 00:00:14,806
Here's a riddle.

00:00:14,806 --> 00:00:16,486
"I am inherently worthless...

3
00:00:16,486 --> 00:00:17,686
"...but highly prized.

4
00:00:17,686 --> 00:00:19,286
"I will empty out your bank account.

00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:20,446
"I'm all about love.

00:00:20,446 --> 00:00:21,766
"But I have a heart of stone

7
00:00:21,766 --> 00:00:22,846
"and have been known...

8
00:00:22,846 --> 00:00:24,486
BOTH:
"...to prefer to be owned."

9
00:00:27,606 --> 00:00:28,726
What?

10
00:00:29,486 --> 00:00:30,406
It's good.

11
00:00:33,006 --> 00:00:34,166
I have to go back to the library.

12
00:00:34,166 --> 00:00:36,766
- Okay. I don't.
- Hmm.

13
00:00:38,126 --> 00:00:39,446
Off you fuck then.

14
00:00:40,006 --> 00:00:41,526

- Bye.

15
00:00:44,486 --> 00:00:46,606

Hey.

- Although we suspect
the interest will be wider.

53

...female empowerment.

BOBBI:
You might remember the last one

59
00:04:33,646 --> 00:04:35,606
where we reclaimed the pole

60
00:04:35,606 --> 00:04:37,166
and learned to dance better on it.

61
00:04:37,166 --> 00:04:38,526
BOTH:
Good for exercise.

62
00:04:38,526 --> 00:04:40,326

But is that the point?

Thanks.

That's... that writer.

71
00:04:59,846 --> 00:05:00,806
I know.

72
00:05:01,526 --> 00:05:02,686

No, I really loved it.

Well, that's Frances. She's the writer.

76
00:05:11,926 --> 00:05:14,406
I'm Bobbi. I'm like her muse.

77
00:05:14,406 --> 00:05:16,046
Well, I want a muse.

78
00:05:16,046 --> 00:05:17,846
I don't operate exclusively.

79
00:05:19,086 --> 00:05:20,846
How long has she been musing for you?

80
00:05:21,766 --> 00:05:23,246
We started in school.

81
00:05:23,766 --> 00:05:26,526
- We were fucking back then, too,
but we don't do that anymore.

82
00:05:26,526 --> 00:05:28,886
We dropped the fucking
but kept the poetry.

83
00:05:28,886 --> 00:05:30,286
- That sounds like
the wrong way around.

84
00:05:30,286 --> 00:05:31,286
I know, right?

85
00:05:32,246 --> 00:05:34,486
- Where are you from?
- London.

86
00:05:35,406 --> 00:05:37,486

- New York.

87
00:05:37,486 --> 00:05:38,766
That's a big change.

88
00:05:38,766 --> 00:05:42,126
- Oh, I know. I was like,
"Look at this little baby city."

89
00:05:42,926 --> 00:05:44,606
I do love living by the sea.

90
00:05:45,006 --> 00:05:46,526
- Do you swim in it?
Yes.

91
00:05:46,526 --> 00:05:47,686

00:05:48,886 --> 00:05:50,286

Um, my parents got jobs.

167

Uh, yeah.

173

00:12:31,966 --> 00:12:33,686
Like other forms, prose?

183
00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:36,446
- No.
Why not?

184
00:12:37,046 --> 00:12:38,126
FRANCES:
Um...

185
00:12:39,166 --> 00:12:42,606
I like the impermanence of this

186
00:12:42,606 --> 00:12:45,406
and, like, the performance thing.

187
00:12:45,406 --> 00:12:49,286
I... feel a bit sick
when I think about it lasting forever.

188
00:12:49,286 --> 00:12:50,686
That's so funny

189
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:53,086
because I always thought of writing

190
00:12:53,086 --> 00:12:56,766
as about some
sort of desire for permanence.

191
00:12:57,526 --> 00:13:00,686
I feel like when I'm writing,
I'm trying to get clarity,

192
00:13:00,686 --> 00:13:03,926
and then when I do, I want to keep it.

193
00:13:03,926 --> 00:13:06,126
FRANCES:
No, I think I'm trying for that but--

194
00:13:06,126 --> 00:13:09,686
And it... it just doesn't feel possible.

195
00:13:09,686 --> 00:13:14,086
Or maybe I don't want
to package it for people to own.

196
00:13:14,846 --> 00:13:16,566
BOBBI:
Frances is a communist.

197
00:13:16,566 --> 00:13:17,926
-Oh.
- Thanks, Bobbi.

198
00:13:17,926 --> 00:13:18,686
BOBBI:
Mm-Hmm.

199
00:13:19,926 --> 00:13:23,366
So, books understood as commodities?

200
00:13:23,366 --> 00:13:24,726
Maybe, in a sense.

201
00:13:24,726 --> 00:13:25,846
It depends.

202
00:13:26,526 --> 00:13:28,326
I mean, obviously, the really good ones
are more than that.

203
00:13:28,326 --> 00:13:31,766
- The rest of us are just
grinding it out on the production line.

204
00:13:33,766 --> 00:13:35,846
-You mind if I--
-Oh, please.

205
00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:42,926
Do you need a light?
Uh, yes, please.

206
00:13:50,966 --> 00:13:52,766
I'm not great at these things.

207
00:13:53,566 --> 00:13:54,726
Me too.

208
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:01,286
- That was really delicious.
Thank you.

209
00:14:04,726 --> 00:14:05,966
Are you, um--

210
00:14:06,566 --> 00:14:09,046
Are you, uh,
in something at the moment?

211
00:14:09,606 --> 00:14:11,806
Um, yeah.

212
00:14:11,806 --> 00:14:13,606
Uh, doing a play.

213
00:14:14,686 --> 00:14:15,966
Are you enjoying it?

214
00:14:17,926 --> 00:14:19,046
- Um--

215
00:14:20,126 --> 00:14:23,126
I mean, it's, uh...
it's nice to be working.

216
00:14:23,846 --> 00:14:25,086
Hmm.

217
00:14:25,086 --> 00:14:26,886
I know people always say that and--

218
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:28,966
The play is fine.

219
00:14:28,966 --> 00:14:30,846
It's not a very bold choice.

220
00:14:30,846 --> 00:14:32,166
<i>Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.</i>

221
00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,286
Do you know it?

222
00:14:34,806 --> 00:14:37,806
- Yeah, I-I, um,
I read it a long time ago.

223
00:14:37,806 --> 00:14:39,486
But I-I haven't seen it.

224
00:14:39,486 --> 00:14:41,486
- Hmm.
- It's melodrama.

225
00:14:42,446 --> 00:14:44,686
Which isn't, you know, it's not a dig.
I'm not--

226
00:14:45,606 --> 00:14:48,846
People say that, don't they,
in a disparaging way?

227
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:51,406
But, I mean, that's the point.
It's the fun of it.

228
00:14:52,326 --> 00:14:53,966
It's a proper play where stuff happens.

229
00:15:01,966 --> 00:15:03,166
But, no.

230
00:15:05,326 --> 00:15:06,326
I should see it.

231
00:15:07,606 --> 00:15:10,166
Uh, like, I liked the play
when I read it.

232
00:15:12,446 --> 00:15:13,646
- Yeah, um--

233
00:15:14,686 --> 00:15:16,526
I can get you some tickets.

234
00:15:16,526 --> 00:15:18,366

235
00:15:21,166 --> 00:15:22,526
You're being polite.

236
00:15:22,526 --> 00:15:25,286
No, I just would really like to see it.

237
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:29,686
- Yeah, if I take your email,
I can sort it out.

238
00:15:36,646 --> 00:15:39,086
What, um, what do you write about?

239
00:15:40,446 --> 00:15:42,926
- That's a terrible question.
- The worst.

240
00:15:42,926 --> 00:15:45,366
- I'll think of another one.
Something lighter.

241
00:15:48,726 --> 00:15:50,326
So are you committed communist?

242
00:15:51,006 --> 00:15:53,166
Not really. No.

243
00:15:53,806 --> 00:15:58,486
Um, I mean, I don't
do anything about it at all, uh--

244
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:01,606
which must make me sound--

245

No, not at all.

Um, here.

FRANCES:
Oh. So I can read to you?

292

in your head.

293
00:18:43,166 --> 00:18:44,966
- Ah.
- And then you write a report.

294
00:18:44,966 --> 00:18:47,126
- So I-I sit here and I make an assessment

295
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,166
on someone's abilities
when I'm not qualified.

296
00:18:49,726 --> 00:18:51,606

and we use that as a test
of cultural excellence?

You write it. I read it.

00:25:24,766 --> 00:25:25,766
Hey.

361
00:25:27,686 --> 00:25:28,406
Come on.

362
00:25:31,406 --> 00:25:32,526
Ready?

363
00:25:42,646 --> 00:25:44,446
This poem is called <i>Diamonds.</i>

364
00:25:45,206 --> 00:25:46,126
Here's a riddle.

365
00:25:46,126 --> 00:25:46,926
My best friend...

366
00:25:46,926 --> 00:25:48,046
...is inherently worthless...

367
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:48,966
...but highly prized...

368
00:25:48,966 --> 00:25:50,286
...who'll empty out your bank account.

369
00:25:50,286 --> 00:25:52,886
But what they did do,
and we'll quote from their report here,

370
00:25:52,886 --> 00:25:55,606
which is much better than
anything we could ever make up.

371
00:25:55,606 --> 00:25:58,646
All of these lectures
revolve around the diamond engagement ring

372
00:25:58,646 --> 00:26:00,366
and are reaching thousands of girls

373
00:26:00,366 --> 00:26:02,646
in their assemblies, classes,
and informal meetings

374
00:26:02,646 --> 00:26:05,246
in our leading educational institutions.

375
00:26:05,246 --> 00:26:06,566
They spread the word, they said,

376
00:26:06,566 --> 00:26:09,686
using wives and daughters
of political leaders.

377
00:26:09,686 --> 00:26:12,766
Any woman who can make the grocer's wife

378
00:26:12,766 --> 00:26:14,726
and the mechanic's sweetheart say...

379
00:26:14,726 --> 00:26:17,006
BOTH:
"I wish I had what she has."

380
00:26:17,006 --> 00:26:19,206
- Do you get a feeling
that we are still kneeling

381
00:26:19,206 --> 00:26:21,046
under the heavy midst we've been told

382
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:22,646
so stones can be sold.

383
00:26:22,646 --> 00:26:25,006
- And if a diamond's a thing,
put it on a ring,

384
00:26:25,006 --> 00:26:28,406
but don't sing to me
about love being enshrined in its class.

385
00:26:28,406 --> 00:26:31,126
I won't be your audience.
I'm out of your grasp.

386
00:26:36,006 --> 00:26:38,686
Hey. That was brilliant.

387
00:26:38,686 --> 00:26:39,926
-Thank you.
- Hey.

388
00:26:40,606 --> 00:26:41,526
Well done.

389
00:26:42,286 --> 00:26:44,486
- Thanks.
- You wanna buy me a drink?

390
00:26:44,486 --> 00:26:46,806
MELISSA:
Yeah, of course. Be my pleasure.

391
00:26:49,046 --> 00:26:51,166
-After you.
- Thank you.

392
00:26:54,366 --> 00:26:56,206
- So what did you think
of the play the other night?

393
00:26:57,886 --> 00:26:59,686
Yeah, it was good.

394
00:27:01,126 --> 00:27:02,926
I thought you were very good.

395
00:27:03,286 --> 00:27:04,166
NICK:
Thanks.

396
00:27:05,806 --> 00:27:07,286
Don't you feel a bit conflicted?

397
00:27:08,846 --> 00:27:10,326
- Generally or--

398
00:27:10,326 --> 00:27:12,526
- You're playing a gay character
and you're a straight man.

399
00:27:13,766 --> 00:27:14,966
Is Brick gay?

400
00:27:15,886 --> 00:27:17,566
Bisexual, maybe.

401
00:27:17,566 --> 00:27:19,926
- You make it sound like
gay is the destination

402
00:27:19,926 --> 00:27:22,806
and bisexual is like a stop on the way.

403
00:27:22,806 --> 00:27:24,406
Not quite there.

404
00:27:25,246 --> 00:27:27,846
- Hmm.
- I mean, Frances is bisexual.

405
00:27:27,846 --> 00:27:29,126
Jesus Christ, Bobbi.

406
00:27:29,126 --> 00:27:30,926
You've probably totally offended her.

407
00:27:30,926 --> 00:27:32,726
- I promise, I feel
very conflicted, Bobbi.

408
00:27:33,486 --> 00:27:35,206
- Okay.
- And I apologize.

409
00:27:35,846 --> 00:27:38,366
Well, as long as you're self-flagellating
and having an awful time.

410
00:27:39,326 --> 00:27:41,566
Melissa, I need you to meet someone.
Okay.

411
00:27:46,246 --> 00:27:48,126
BOBBI:
Philip, Melissa. Melissa, Philip.

412
00:27:48,126 --> 00:27:49,486
PHILIP:
Hi.

413
00:27:49,486 --> 00:27:50,646
I'm sorry I was late.

414
00:27:52,486 --> 00:27:53,726
Thanks for coming.

415
00:27:56,126 --> 00:27:57,966
I really liked it.

416
00:27:59,286 --> 00:28:00,526
Yeah.

417
00:28:00,526 --> 00:28:03,646
I don't really know how to be articulate
about it beyond that.

418
00:28:04,006 --> 00:28:05,086
But--

419
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:08,646
I liked it.

420
00:28:11,686 --> 00:28:13,326
I think it would have been better
if I'd said nothing.

421
00:28:15,366 --> 00:28:17,726
I'll craft you an email.

422
00:28:18,846 --> 00:28:20,886
It'll be full of compliments and--

423
00:28:22,286 --> 00:28:23,846
be in complete sentences.

424
00:28:25,366 --> 00:28:28,206
- But won't require us
to make eye contact.

425
00:28:29,646 --> 00:28:30,726
Right.

426
00:28:34,126 --> 00:28:35,526
We could try, though.

427
00:29:41,966 --> 00:29:43,446
MELISSA:
<i>Good to see you!</i>

428
00:29:43,446 --> 00:29:45,406
This is... amazing.

429
00:29:45,406 --> 00:29:47,166
- Hey, Frances.
- Hey.

430
00:29:49,726 --> 00:29:52,206
People think in couples.

431
00:29:53,366 --> 00:29:55,086
<i>You have to work</i>
<i>really hard to resist it.</i>

432
00:29:55,086 --> 00:29:56,646
He's clearly into you.

433
00:29:56,646 --> 00:29:57,646
He's nice actually.

434
00:29:58,206 --> 00:30:00,726
I'm just not sure what to do yet.

435
00:30:01,246 --> 00:30:02,566
BOBBI:
<i>I kissed Melissa.</i>

436
00:30:07,606 --> 00:30:09,846
I've never had sex with a man before.

437
00:30:10,726 --> 00:30:13,326
- It's important you know
how happy you make me.

438
00:30:14,086 --> 00:30:16,966
- We only know him because he's
married to someone interesting.

439
00:30:16,966 --> 00:30:19,686
Melissa's not that interesting.

440
00:30:20,286 --> 00:30:22,726
- There's nothing else that
I should know about with Nick, is there?

441
00:30:24,886 --> 00:30:26,966
FRANCES:
<i>When did you stop being in love?</i>

442
00:30:26,966 --> 00:30:28,726
I don't think I did stop.

443
00:30:28,726 --> 00:30:30,406
You're saying you still love her?

444
00:30:35,086 --> 00:30:36,086
Were you going to tell me?

445
00:30:37,046 --> 00:30:39,686
<i>Frances.</i>
<i>I want to keep seeing you.</i>

446
00:30:39,686 --> 00:30:42,846
- I'm in love with you
and you obviously don't feel the same.

447
00:30:42,846 --> 00:30:46,486
I don't really know
how to do this anymore.

448
00:30:47,606 --> 00:30:50,206
<i>I thought that maybe</i>
<i>I wasn't capable of love.</i>

449
00:30:53,086 --> 00:30:54,406
<i>That isn't true.</i>
