Ladies and gentlemen,
this is an important
message from
the New York City
police department:
keep your belongings
in sight at all times.
Protect yourself. If you
see a suspicious package,
or activity on the
platform or trains,
do not keep it to yourself.
Tell a police officer
or an MTA employee.
Remain alert, and
have a safe day.
[meditation music]
Good morning.
Good morning.
How's everybody feeling?
Good.
Okay.
I see some new faces, welcome.
Any injuries I
need to know about?
No?
Okay, let's start.
Lay down on your backs,
your palms facing upward.
We're gonna breathe deep,
in through our nose.
Into our lungs, filling
our abdomen.
And exhale with a
hissing sound.
This is the ujjayi breath.
Continue to breathe, inhale.
Passing the lungs, into
the abdomen.
Exhale.
Three, four, into plank.
Two, three, four.
Chaturanga. Two, three, four.
Now transition into Cobra.
Two, three, four.
Any adjustments?
You look fine to me.
No, I need something.
I think you're just fine.
I don't bend.
I'm not that good.
Downward dog.
Two, three, four.
Hey. That was
an awesome class.
Thanks.
I'm Sean.
I'm glad you're getting
something out of
the class, Sean.
Uh, what are you
doing right now?
Right now? I'm leaving.
[laughs]
Would you have
lunch with me?
Or maybe a drink?
You're very sweet.
You think I'm sweet?
Are you?
Yes.
[laughs]
How about coffee?
I'm sorry, I really can't.
I've got other plans.
Sure.
Even if it's just tea,
high noon tea?
Look, I just can't.
Okay.
Are you teaching next Thursday?
Yes, yes I am.
Then I will see
you next Thursday.
Okay.
He's a lucky man.
You have no idea.
[traffic sounds]
[sirens]
[muffled low bass music]
Hey Marcel, can I get that 50?
Thank you.
Hey babe, I'm sorry,
just one minute.
What are you doing
here, are you back?
No.
What you need to do is
get your ass back in here,
this bitch can't even
walk in a straight line.
[laughs]
She's just being nice.
I missed you, girl.
Beautiful, okay wait.
Just lean more on this hip,
sort of stick it
out a little bit.
Bring your face down.
Yeah, perfect. Beautiful.
Beautiful.
[whispering]
[laughing]
Lift your chin.
Perfect.
That's gorgeous.
Lean a little more.
So hot.
You wanna go to the park?
Sure.
[sighs]
Were you smoking again?
[elevator dings]
[wings flapping]
Did you sleep okay?
Yeah.
Listen.
Last night
I really don't wanna
talk about that right now.
Well when do you
wanna talk about it?
Later.
I'm leaving, I'm not
coming back until Sunday.
Then on Sunday.
I really don't want
to wait that long.
I'll call you
this weekend, okay?
Okay?
I don't wanna fight.
I know, I don't really
wanna fight either.
Well then let's talk
about something else.
-Okay fine.
-Please.
How was your day?
What?
It's nothing, something
really funny, and sad actually.
What?
Another student asked me out.
Oh.
[laughs]
Yeah, was it uh...
Was it a dude or a chick?
It was a dude.
You're just a regular cock
magnet recently, aren't you?
Was he hot?
He was very cute.
Cute.
What'd you say?
To the guy, what'd
you say to him?
What do you think I said?
Honestly I really don't know.
What did you say to him?
I'm not playing
this game with you.
It just feels like you don't
want to be with me anymore.
That's not true.
Just give me a little
time to settle in,
unpack my things, I'm sorry
it's taken me so long.
I just miss you.
I wish I could come
home before I leave.
I'm fine, just go and
have fun with your family.
I know, I'm gonna
have fun. I just...
All I wanna do right now
is come home with you
and cook, and cuddle,
and you know. Unpack.
Trust me, you're gonna be
a lot happier where you are.
I would be happier if
you were coming with me.
You know I love you.
I know.
Just have fun.
I'll call you.
Okay.

Fucking terrorists

Fuck you man, who you

I saw your uncle
fuckin' Rima Karaj.
Fuck you saying? I'll

Calling a sand nigga, nigga.
Talking to you, motherfucker.

[door creaking]
[baby crying]
[knocking]
Hi.
It's John.
From next door John.
Oh, hi.
You're Kathy, right?
Kate.
Oh Kate, oh, cool.
Hey, is your power
out? 'Cause mine's out.
Yeah, mine is out.
Oh, shoot.
Hey do you think it's the
building? The whole building?
Maybe, I mean it's
probably worse than that.
The traffic light at
the corner was out, so.
Really? Whoa.
Hey what if it's
like a big thing.
Like a bigger thing.
Like in the boroughs.
The five boroughs.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Like what if people are
raiding the Ctown or Radioshack
and they're just
like going buckwild.
Looting and stuff.
That'd be crazy.
Yeah.
Hey what are you
doin' right now?
Uh...
You wanna go on
down to Loco's?
You know that place?
They got a great garden
and stuff and margaritas.
You wanna come?
I'm gonna look for some
candles before it's...
So I gotta get back to
You know if you get too hot,
or something like that...
come on down to Loco's.
I'm gonna bring my boombox.
Cool.
Yeah, I make mix CD's.
I put all sorts of
different songs on one CD
and then I put it on
shuffle sometimes.
Instead of just
playing it, sort of.
That way it's like a surprise,
it's like a new CD each time.
Alright, have fun.
-Cool.
-Thanks.
Hey tell your roommate
too, if you want.
Alright.
-Thanks.
-Bye, Kathy.

I love you, Porgy
Don't let 'em take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I'm gonna stay here
With you forever
And I'll be glad
Someday I know he's coming
He's coming to call me
He's going to handle me
And hold me, so
It's going to be
like dying, Porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes, I know
I'll have to go
It's 5:06 at WBCS,
and Marla Diamond,
our WCBS reporter
is at 46th and fifth, Marla.
And I'm here on a payphone,
trying to stay on as
long as I possibly can.
The lines are down the block,
waiting just to
make this phone call
because the cell
phones are not working.
People are just milling
around here, I don't know
Mr. Mayor,
what can you tell us?
I can tell you that it
happened up in Canada,
or near Niagara falls,
probably a lightning strike,
or some kind of an
industrial kind.
No movements of
terrorism whatsoever.
[rock music]
Get out of bed,
get out of your head
The things that you dread,
there's something you said
Coming out of the rain,
coming out of the rain
A dove is cooing,
a beautiful omen
Coming out of the rain,
coming out of the rain
The sun is shining,
a river is flowing
And when it rains, don't
let it bring you down
Don't let it bring
you down, bring you down
Don't let it bring you
down, bring you down.
[rapid shutter click]
[psychedelic music]
I thought that
you knew it all
Slow, but deep
Feigned affections
wash over me
Dream on my dear
Hands off man, I just got
this thing detailed.
How much you pay for this?
Like two fifty, two fifty
five, I got a sweet deal.
I don't need to go in, I
just want to hang out here
[groups talking]
[peaceful guitar music]
[muffled rap music]
Need to see your ID.
Wait a minute, Kate?
Hey, Marco!
Kate, what the fuck girl.
It's been a long time,
what you been up to?
Just working,
moving. Same old.
I hear that. So
what you think, huh?
I thought it was a
damn terrorist attack.
Fuckin' bus stops was mobbed
like you wouldn't believe.
Like a fuckin' zombie
movie or some shit.
Then some chick go and
yell out "Gun! Gun! Gun!"
Bitch almost gave
me a heart attack.
Then what happened?
What happened? Shit
I was hauling' ass.
I got kids baby I ain't
got no time for that.
I hear that.
Well you looking' good, kid,
go in there and
enjoy yourself baby.
Pleasure seeing' you, ah!
Hold up, your ID.
[chatter]
[rock music]
Hey. Can I bum one of those?
Yeah, sure.
Make it look so
easy, don't they?
What's that?
New Yorkers, they make
it always look so easy.
I'm sorry, I'm Benoit.
Ben what?
Benoit. But you
can call me Benny.
I'm Kate. It's
nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Kate.
Kate.
I've never met a Benoit before.
Wow. Where I come
from we're very common.
Where's that?
Guess.
[laughs]
Well you look maybe like...
You ride a motorcycle,
maybe, L.A.? Detroit?
Canada.
Ah. You live in an igloo?
Yes, we do. All of
us. It's very cold.
Better than livin' in
the dark, though, right?
So what are you
drinkin' tonight, Kate?
Rye.
Rye.
Neat.
It's pretty neat.
Didn't see that coming.
You New Yorker girls
don't mess around.
Well I'm not
really from New York.
-West Virginia.
-Really?
Born and bred.
-Wow.
-Yeah.
Never saw
that coming either.
-No?
-No, didn't hear it.
You don't live
in New York long
as I have sounding
like a hillbilly.
How long is that?
Long time.
I'm gonna get you that drink.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
Thanks.
So I was a model,
that's how I made money.
Like it was my job.
Well you know when you
look in the mirror,
when you're really drunk, and...
You really see
yourself, you know?
Really see yourself.
I didn't like what
I saw, so I quit.
I don't think anyone really...
likes what they
see in the mirror.
Drunk or sober.
For me it's the people I know,
they way they look
at me, that's it.
All I need to know is
the look on their face.
When they smile, I
know what it means.
And what does it mean?
I don't know.
[laughs]
It means I'm doing
something right.
Certainly are.
So if not New York then where?
Well it's just the
problem you see...
Because well...
New Yorkers, we all love to hate
on New York every
once and a while.
And then you imagine going
somewhere else, and...
everywhere else just seems
boring once you've been here.
Spoken like a true New Yorker.
Well see that's
the funny thing is
I don't really think of
myself as a New Yorker,
I think you gotta grow up here.
Maybe.
I think that New Yorkers
actually come to New York.
Oh yeah? So what
does that make you?
I don't know, you tell me.
A Canadian spy.
If only that were true.
Well then a tourist.
You couldn't live here.
Oh god, hell no.
I don't know, there's a
lot keeping me back home.
Things are different when
you have kids you know.
Sure.
I'll tell you what.
I'll definitely come
back for another visit.
Yeah?
Well let's give you a reason
to book that return flight.
You leaving?
Yes I am. And with
your permission,
I'd be happy to walk you home.
Was it something I said?
No, of course not.
Did I say too much?
The mystery gone?
The illusion has faded?
No.
You are...
perfect. In every way. Trust me.
But...
we're both pretty drunk,
and this is when people
make bad decisions.
I'll make my own
bad decisions, thanks.
Look I didn't
mean to offend you,
I'd just really like
to walk you home.
I can walk myself
home, thanks.
Thanks for the drinks, Benny.
Hey.
[car alarms]
Look at that shit,
that's what I'm talking about.
Got a shirt to fuck up.
He looks good, the fuck.
Hey, I know potential
when I see it,
that's what I'm saying'.
Dang girl, you should
call her a cab.
Nah, she'll show
her appreciation
by puking all over the car.
[laughs]
Oh yeah? You think I'm pretty?
You like me?
You wanna touch me?
You want me?
Fuck off!
[laughter]
[sobbing]
Fuck you! Fuck you!
No bottles. No cans.
Bitch. Bitch. Bitch.
Bottles and no cans.
Bitch. Bitch. Bitch.
[footsteps echoing]
[collapses]
[laughs]
[keys jingling]
[heavy breathing]
[cries out]
[knocking]
Kate?
It's Benny.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I should have just left
it with the bartender.
I'm gonna leave you alone now.
You were following me?
Yes.
Well I was worried about you.
I wanted to try
to walk you home.
Unofficially.
I don't need following.
Unofficially or otherwise.
I'm sorry Kate, I
guess I'll just go.
Please don't go.
Why did I come here?
That's a good question.
I came here because...
I thought I would find myself.
Thought I would feel important.
When you ride the subway...
You watch all those people going
to work every morning,
do they look happy?
They look like they're just
going through the motions.
I don't wanna be one of 'em.
I don't wanna be
anything anymore.
Tried that.
Tried lots of things.
Tried to be different.
I just tried to be uglier.
Did so many bad things.
So many.
It's okay.
It's alright.
We all do bad things.
You gonna like this? You
gonna like the real me?
Here it is.
I'm the real me.
I'm the real me.
You're crazy.
Leave me alone. Fuckin' nut job.
You're so lonely.
You're so lonely.
Fuck you.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out.
Get outta here.
Did I keep you company?
Was I good conversation?
Did you like me sharing
like share time?
That's fuckin' funny.
That's great. Glad.
Yeah, I liked it.
I liked it.
I liked it.
[shutter clicks]
[upbeat music]
No I never thought I'd
ever be somebody's pill
No I never thought I'd
ever be taken like a kill
But I was
And it was you with the gun
Shattering my heart and
screaming here and you know
Destruction, loving you
is such a silent sound
Oh my skin
Is covered in your sin
All the clocks
were broken, turning
I was waiting
for unknown change
All the words and
the lungs were burning
But I'm ready to
release this cage
Look at what you've
done it's coming true
Yeah you broke me down,
my silence is through
You turned my love and
now I'm turning on you
I will cry I will
crawl until I walk
and I will shed you

I just can't...
I can't do this anymore.
I'm losing it.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I hate this city.
I hate this city.
You're the only good thing
that's happened to me...
I just don't know what's
happening right now.
It's like everything
is getting poisoned.
I don't know how
to make it stop.
I don't know.
I just want to go
back to the way I was.
I just wanna...
I just want you here.
I wanna see you.

Fucking terrorists

Yeah fuck you sand nigga!
Fuck you man, who you

I saw your uncle
fuckin' Rima Karaj.
Fuck you saying? I'll
kick your fucking ass.
Calling a sand nigga, nigga.
Talking to you, motherfucker.
Yeah?

Hi.
It's John.
From next door John.
Oh, hi.
You're Kathy, right?
Kate.
Oh Kate, oh, cool.
Hey, is your power
out? 'Cause mine's out.
Yeah, mine is out.
Oh, shoot.
Hey do you think it's the
building? The whole building?
Maybe, I mean it's
probably worse than that.
The traffic light at
the corner was out, so.
Really? Whoa.
Hey what if it's
like a big thing.
Like a bigger thing.
Like in the boroughs.
The five boroughs.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Like what if people are
raiding the Ctown or Radioshack
and they're just
like going buckwild.
Looting and stuff.
That'd be crazy.
Yeah.
Hey what are you
doin' right now?
Uh...
You wanna go on
down to Loco's?
You know that place?
They got a great garden
and stuff and margaritas.
You wanna come?
I'm gonna look for some
candles before it's...
So I gotta get back to
You know if you get too hot,
or something like that...
come on down to Loco's.
I'm gonna bring my boombox.
Cool.
Yeah, I make mix CD's.
I put all sorts of
different songs on one CD
and then I put it on
shuffle sometimes.
Instead of just
playing it, sort of.
That way it's like a surprise,
it's like a new CD each time.
Alright, have fun.
-Cool.
-Thanks.
Hey tell your roommate
too, if you want.
Alright.
-Thanks.
-Bye, Kathy.

I love you, Porgy
Don't let 'em take me
Don't let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I'm gonna stay here
With you forever
And I'll be glad
Someday I know he's coming
He's coming to call me
He's going to handle me
And hold me, so
It's going to be
like dying, Porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes, I know
I'll have to go
It's 5:06 at WBCS,
and Marla Diamond,
our WCBS reporter
is at 46th and fifth, Marla.
And I'm here on a payphone,
trying to stay on as
long as I possibly can.
The lines are down the block,
waiting just to
make this phone call
because the cell
phones are not working.
People are just milling
around here, I don't know
Mr. Mayor,
what can you tell us?
I can tell you that it
happened up in Canada,
or near Niagara falls,
probably a lightning strike,
or some kind of an
industrial kind.
No movements of
terrorism whatsoever.
[rock music]
Get out of bed,
get out of your head
The things that you dread,
there's something you said
Coming out of the rain,
coming out of the rain
A dove is cooing,
a beautiful omen
Coming out of the rain,
coming out of the rain
The sun is shining,
a river is flowing
And when it rains, don't
let it bring you down
Don't let it bring
you down, bring you down
Don't let it bring you
down, bring you down.
[rapid shutter click]
[psychedelic music]
I thought that
you knew it all
Slow, but deep
Feigned affections
wash over me
Dream on my dear
Hands off man, I just got
this thing detailed.
How much you pay for this?
Like two fifty, two fifty
five, I got a sweet deal.
I don't need to go in, I
just want to hang out here
[groups talking]
[peaceful guitar music]
[muffled rap music]
Need to see your ID.
Wait a minute, Kate?
Hey, Marco!
Kate, what the fuck girl.
It's been a long time,
what you been up to?
Just working,
moving. Same old.
I hear that. So
what you think, huh?
I thought it was a
damn terrorist attack.
Fuckin' bus stops was mobbed
like you wouldn't believe.
Like a fuckin' zombie
movie or some shit.
Then some chick go and
yell out "Gun! Gun! Gun!"
Bitch almost gave
me a heart attack.
Then what happened?
What happened? Shit
I was hauling' ass.
I got kids baby I ain't
got no time for that.
I hear that.
Well you looking' good, kid,
go in there and
enjoy yourself baby.
Pleasure seeing' you, ah!
Hold up, your ID.
[chatter]
[rock music]
Hey. Can I bum one of those?
Yeah, sure.
Make it look so
easy, don't they?
What's that?
New Yorkers, they make
it always look so easy.
I'm sorry, I'm Benoit.
Ben what?
Benoit. But you
can call me Benny.
I'm Kate. It's
nice to meet you.
Likewise.
Kate.
Kate.
I've never met a Benoit before.
Wow. Where I come
from we're very common.
Where's that?
Guess.
[laughs]
Well you look maybe like...
You ride a motorcycle,
maybe, L.A.? Detroit?
Canada.
Ah. You live in an igloo?
Yes, we do. All of
us. It's very cold.
Better than livin' in
the dark, though, right?
So what are you
drinkin' tonight, Kate?
Rye.
Rye.
Neat.
It's pretty neat.
Didn't see that coming.
You New Yorker girls
don't mess around.
Well I'm not
really from New York.
-West Virginia.
-Really?
Born and bred.
-Wow.
-Yeah.
Never saw
that coming either.
-No?
-No, didn't hear it.
You don't live
in New York long
as I have sounding
like a hillbilly.
How long is that?
Long time.
I'm gonna get you that drink.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
Thanks.
So I was a model,
that's how I made money.
Like it was my job.
Well you know when you
look in the mirror,
when you're really drunk, and...
You really see
yourself, you know?
Really see yourself.
I didn't like what
I saw, so I quit.
I don't think anyone really...
likes what they
see in the mirror.
Drunk or sober.
For me it's the people I know,
they way they look
at me, that's it.
All I need to know is
the look on their face.
When they smile, I
know what it means.
And what does it mean?
I don't know.
[laughs]
It means I'm doing
something right.
Certainly are.
So if not New York then where?
Well it's just the
problem you see...
Because well...
New Yorkers, we all love to hate
on New York every
once and a while.
And then you imagine going
somewhere else, and...
everywhere else just seems
boring once you've been here.
Spoken like a true New Yorker.
Well see that's
the funny thing is
I don't really think of
myself as a New Yorker,
I think you gotta grow up here.
Maybe.
I think that New Yorkers
actually come to New York.
Oh yeah? So what
does that make you?
I don't know, you tell me.
A Canadian spy.
If only that were true.
Well then a tourist.
You couldn't live here.
Oh god, hell no.
I don't know, there's a
lot keeping me back home.
Things are different when
you have kids you know.
Sure.
I'll tell you what.
I'll definitely come
back for another visit.
Yeah?
Well let's give you a reason
to book that return flight.
You leaving?
Yes I am. And with
your permission,
I'd be happy to walk you home.
Was it something I said?
No, of course not.
Did I say too much?
The mystery gone?
The illusion has faded?
No.
You are...
perfect. In every way. Trust me.
But...
we're both pretty drunk,
and this is when people
make bad decisions.
I'll make my own
bad decisions, thanks.
Look I didn't
mean to offend you,
I'd just really like
to walk you home.
I can walk myself
home, thanks.
Thanks for the drinks, Benny.
Hey.
[car alarms]
Look at that shit,
that's what I'm talking about.
Got a shirt to fuck up.
He looks good, the fuck.
Hey, I know potential
when I see it,
that's what I'm saying'.
Dang girl, you should
call her a cab.
Nah, she'll show
her appreciation
by puking all over the car.
[laughs]
Oh yeah? You think I'm pretty?
You like me?
You wanna touch me?
You want me?
Fuck off!
[laughter]
[sobbing]
Fuck you! Fuck you!
No bottles. No cans.
Bitch. Bitch. Bitch.
Bottles and no cans.
Bitch. Bitch. Bitch.
[footsteps echoing]
[collapses]
[laughs]
[keys jingling]
[heavy breathing]
[cries out]
[knocking]
Kate?
It's Benny.
I didn't mean to scare you.
I should have just left
it with the bartender.
I'm gonna leave you alone now.
You were following me?
Yes.
Well I was worried about you.
I wanted to try
to walk you home.
Unofficially.
I don't need following.
Unofficially or otherwise.
I'm sorry Kate, I
guess I'll just go.
Please don't go.
Why did I come here?
That's a good question.
I came here because...
I thought I would find myself.
Thought I would feel important.
When you ride the subway...
You watch all those people going
to work every morning,
do they look happy?
They look like they're just
going through the motions.
I don't wanna be one of 'em.
I don't wanna be
anything anymore.
Tried that.
Tried lots of things.
Tried to be different.
I just tried to be uglier.
Did so many bad things.
So many.
It's okay.
It's alright.
We all do bad things.
You gonna like this? You
gonna like the real me?
Here it is.
I'm the real me.
I'm the real me.
You're crazy.
Leave me alone. Fuckin' nut job.
You're so lonely.
You're so lonely.
Fuck you.
Get out.
Get out.
Get out.
Get outta here.
Did I keep you company?
Was I good conversation?
Did you like me sharing
like share time?
That's fuckin' funny.
That's great. Glad.
Yeah, I liked it.
I liked it.
I liked it.
[shutter clicks]
[upbeat music]
No I never thought I'd
ever be somebody's pill
No I never thought I'd
ever be taken like a kill
But I was
And it was you with the gun
Shattering my heart and
screaming here and you know
Destruction, loving you
is such a silent sound
Oh my skin
Is covered in your sin
All the clocks
were broken, turning
I was waiting
for unknown change
All the words and
the lungs were burning
But I'm ready to
release this cage
Look at what you've
done it's coming true
Yeah you broke me down,
my silence is through
You turned my love and
now I'm turning on you
I will cry I will
crawl until I walk
and I will shed you

I'm sorry. I just

What are you doing
in my apartment?
In...
this isn't my apartment.
Just get out.
I like these pictures.
Little creepy though.
I'm really sorry, Kathy.
I just gotta do this
I'm really sorry.
John don't.
[peeing]
[laughing]
[toilet flushes]
I left the toilet seat up.
One, two, three, four, five,

One, two, three, four, five,

One, two, three,

Hi.
It's Kate.
I just can't...
I can't do this anymore.
I'm losing it.
I don't know what's going on.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I hate this city.
I hate this city.
You're the only good thing
that's happened to me...
I just don't know what's
happening right now.
It's like everything
is getting poisoned.
I don't know how
to make it stop.
I don't know.
I just want to go
back to the way I was.
I just wanna...
I just want you here.
I wanna see you.
