00:39A beautiful animal
00:42Giving me a mouthful
00:46You wipe right this stone
00:53Want you see me
00:56Want you to see me
01:00Want you to see me
01:05Want you to see me
01:10Yeah!
01:23Sorry, sorry, I...
01:25No, it's all good. I was just thinking I should grab my stuff.
01:28Brought you a drink.
01:30Thank you.
01:32But I do have some ulterior motives.
01:35I was hoping you could handle some things inside for me as well.
01:39Inside what?
01:40I mean, like, like, like, inside what?
01:44What?
01:45I don't think I'm a mom.
01:46No, like, feed the cat, water the inside plants.
01:50I'm going out of town for a couple of days at a conference in San Francisco.
01:54Yeah, know whatever you need.
01:55Are you going to present the paper that you're writing?
01:59Yeah, I am.
02:00Oh, and I took your suggestion on the title.
02:03Impossibility is much better than modality. It's a lot more relatable.
02:07Glad to hear I could help.
02:09Not that I could be a philosophy professor or anything.
02:11I mean, who knows what UCLA will hold for you.
02:13You're a bright kid.
02:14You've always got more options than you think you do.
02:17Thanks.
02:18Isn't your birthday coming up?
02:20Two days ago. Kept it low key.
02:22Eighteen?
02:25Oh.
02:28My ride's almost here. I'm going to go change.
02:30Sorry.
02:31No.
02:32I'll take care of everything. Thanks for that.
02:37Happy birthday, Nate.
02:38Maybe we should do something to celebrate?
02:40I'm back Sunday.
02:48Who's a sexy unicorn?
02:50Perfect, but unattainable.
02:52I swear. I mean, she opened the door.
02:54I just have to figure out how to walk through.
02:56Come make unicorn babies with me, Nate.
02:58Come on. I mean, you guys have made fun of me forever for waiting for the perfect first time.
03:02And now that I actually have a chance with this unbelievably perfect woman,
03:06you're not helping.
03:08What do I do?
03:09Well, remember Sex Ed with Mrs. Downey in fifth grade with the vagina?
03:13What do I do?
03:14Well, remember Sex Ed with Mrs. Downey in fifth grade with the vagina puppet?
03:18Come on.
03:19Clitoris?
03:20Clitoris?
03:21You know, the more I say it, the more I don't know which is right.
03:23Stop. I mean...
03:24Porn, Nate.
03:26Study up. Watch a ton of it. Okay? A whole ton of it.
03:30Also, sit-ups.
03:32Gotta do a lot of those. It's all in the core.
03:34Who has the most experience in sex?
03:36It's quality, not quantity.
03:38Oh, really?
03:39What, are we talking about German Exchange Girl now?
03:41Is there any other word in the English language sexier than bicurious?
03:44You're an idiot.
03:46How does appreciating a wide spectrum of human sexuality make me an idiot?
03:50It's not just the sex part. I really think that it could be more than that.
03:55I really think we have a connection.
03:56You're such a girl wanting love and sex and a big package with a bow.
04:01No, a woman like this, I need to bring back A-game.
04:04I just have to figure out how to be enough in 48 hours.
04:08Just don't put too much thought into it. Just get your passport stamped. Okay?
04:12You little sh...
04:13Dad, I told you last time. You do it again and you get what you deserve.
04:16Fast?
04:18You think you're fast?
04:21What?
04:22What?
04:24That little half-smile thing you do.
04:26The other side of your mouth goes up like a crowbar.
04:28Usually means there's something you don't want to say.
04:31Look, if you really want to have some kind of love connection with this woman,
04:35then you're not going to get it from dubious sex tips mouth on off the web.
04:39I mean, it's going to come from you just being yourself.
04:42Yeah, but I mean, myself as a nervous, inexperienced guy
04:45who can't believe he's getting a shot at this perfect woman.
04:48You're not going to convince her you're Brad Pitt, so lay it out.
04:50I am a nervous, inexperienced guy who can't believe I'm getting a chance with a perfect woman like you.
04:56If she goes for it, at least she'll like you for who you really are.
04:59Isn't that what you want?
05:02And if all else fails...
05:06Vagina bomb.
05:10Stop it!
05:27I'm going to take that yoga class.
05:29The naked yoga class.
05:33Bye, Nate.
05:35Bye, Miss Gilbert.
05:38Let's do this.
05:39Hey, um...
05:40Come on.
05:41Dad, I don't know if I feel like practicing today.
05:43Seriously, come on.
05:45So what do you, uh, what do you think of Linda, huh?
05:49I don't know. She's nice, I guess.
05:52What about that ass?
05:53Am I right?
05:54Dad, she was my English teacher.
05:56In sixth grade.
05:57I do not get where you got this puritanical crap from.
06:02Alright, listen. I really like...
06:05I like her.
06:07Well, that's nice, Dad.
06:08I'm sorry.
06:10Um, can I ask you a question?
06:13Is the perfect woman the one who makes you want to be a perfect man?
06:19Uh, well.
06:21Who knows what the perfect woman is, you know?
06:26The perfect woman is the one that you have not met yet.
06:30Alright, let's go.
06:31Shooting drill. Let's do it.
06:35Come on.
06:38Come on.
06:39Give it to me.
06:40I see it.
06:41Take the shot.
06:43Dad, I...
06:45I think I'm just gonna take a run today.
06:48What? No. No.
06:50Hey!
06:51Where are you going?
06:53Get back here!
06:54Hey! Take the goddamn shot!
07:24Daddy?
07:34Daddy?
07:55Hey.
07:57Hey.
07:59Hey.
08:01Hey.
08:24Hey.
08:40I remember you said that they were your favorite flowers.
08:44What are you doing here?
08:46I'm welcoming you home.
08:50I'm sorry. I thought you said...
08:53Uh...
08:54No, I didn't necessarily mean the minute I got back.
08:58But, uh...
09:00It's... It's okay.
09:03Uh, if you want a drink.
09:07Um...
09:08Yeah, sure.
09:12Scratch on the rocks?
09:16Uh...
09:17Single malt, single grain, blended.
09:21Um...
09:22What?
09:23Oh, um...
09:24Actually...
09:26To be honest, I haven't had a scratch before, but...
09:29I just thought it sounded like a cool thing to say.
09:32I'm gonna have some tea.
09:33Would you like a cup?
09:35Sure.
09:37Um...
09:38How was your trip?
09:40It was fine.
09:42Did you kill it with your paper?
09:47It's, uh...
09:48It's sweet that you're interested in my work.
09:51I really am.
09:59I've been doing some reading.
10:01Brushing up on the fundamentals.
10:03Plato's Symposium.
10:05Really?
10:07Yeah, and how the whole philosophy of love was started by, um...
10:11A woman named Dee something, um...
10:14Dee Atima?
10:15Yeah.
10:16Yeah.
10:17Philosopher, priestess?
10:19Yeah.
10:21Did you read what she said about young people in love?
10:26You know, I might have fallen asleep before I got to that part.
10:30She said that young people should first be taught to love one beautiful body,
10:36which will lead to an appreciation of beauty in all bodies.
10:42She said that?
10:43Mm-hmm.
10:45Eventually, one transcends the physical
10:51and learns to appreciate the beauty of the soul.
10:56Finally,
10:59one experiences pure virtue
11:04and gains immortality
11:06in the love of the gods.
11:10And this,
11:12Plato argues, is the importance
11:17of physical love.
11:22That's...
11:25So...
11:41Oh, it's on the timer.
11:43Leave it on?
11:48You're so beautiful.
11:51You're beautiful and smart and funny and amazing and...
11:56I've imagined this moment all summer.
12:02Have you ever seen hawks have sex?
12:06They meet in the sky, join together while they're flying and...
12:11tumble down together like nothing else matters.
12:14Like there's no ground beneath them.
12:18That's how I feel with you.
12:29What's wrong?
12:33I...
12:34I'm sorry.
12:36Why are you sorry?
12:37I just... I... I...
12:39I can't do this.
12:41What did I do wrong?
12:43Absolutely nothing.
12:45So what is it?
12:48It's just this, this, this means, uh,
12:51this means more to you than...
12:53But what about Plato's Symposium?
12:55The priestess, the beauty of the soul.
13:07You just wanted this to be sex?
13:11Yeah.
13:12I can do that.
13:13No, you can't.
13:15It doesn't have to mean anything to me, honestly.
13:17How can it not mean something to you?
13:18It's who you are.
13:20I can be different.
13:21Why would you, why would you want to?
13:23You are a great kid.
13:25You're a great young man.
13:27I'm old enough.
13:28This isn't about being too young.
13:35You just thought I was some lawn boy?
13:38No, I'm sorry, this was just...
13:40This was supposed to be a fun thing.
13:44This wasn't supposed to be a relationship.
13:47It couldn't be a relationship?
13:49No.
13:51No.
13:58Seriously?
14:06I think you should leave now.
14:09Okay.
14:40Your advice was terrible.
14:42At least you put yourself out there.
14:44You took a risk.
14:46You went for the perfect experience.
14:48It's better than never trying.
14:49Trust me, I'm nowhere near that brave.
14:51What do you mean?
14:53So, you know, German exchange girl?
14:57I actually...
14:59I actually...
15:01I actually...
15:03I actually...
15:05I actually...
15:07I actually...
15:09I actually...
15:11I actually...
15:13I actually...
15:15I never full on slept with her.
15:18She wanted to, but...
15:20She wanted to, but...
15:22something just wasn't right.
15:24something just wasn't right.
15:26I just kinda freaked out and broke up with her.
15:29I just kinda freaked out and broke up with her.
15:31I'm sorry.
15:32I'm sorry.
15:34Why didn't you tell me?
15:36I teased you so much
15:37like her but I think I'm just maybe not into girls so you're uh not by then
15:45sounds so uncool but I'm pretty sure I'm straight too bad
15:52it's being by double-draws of finding the perfect person except there's no
15:57such thing as perfect so I guess neither of us are ever gonna have sex nope
16:03dude although you know someone once told me that there are always more options
16:12than you think there are what's that supposed to mean nothing I guess
