Depth, complexity, humility,
my height, my height.
Okay. Well, fine.
We'll go to the cafe.
The ceilings
are usually low there.

- Rubbish.

Our careers are different.
You put a fag in your mouth
and you sit on a keyboard
- and boom, you're sorted.
- Oh, and I'm being
- Which is great.
- Reductive, okay.
But as an actor, it's different.
Because we are completely
reliant on other
people's choices.
They have all the fucking power,
everybody knows that.

In Italy,
it's rude to interrupt a dance.
Now that is correct,
so if you don't mind
I'll have you in my arms
a little longer.

Oh. Oh, no,
what happened?
Nothing happened.
- Okay.
- Sometimes, maybe my birthday,
I will have a drink.
I go to a club,
but I don't do nothing
more than this.
My friends, if we go to the club
together, we leave together.
Oh, fuck.
- Fuck.
- You okay?
I'm on my period.
- It's okay.
- No. No.
I've I've never done it
on my period
with someone who actually knew
I was on it.
- Sometimes you speak so fast.
- No, it doesn't
It doesn't matter,
I'm quite a heavy bleeder,
so I'm just letting you
know that
seeing as you've been
really helpful today. Okay?
Uh, it's, hmm, periodi pesante.
You wanna try?
Yes. Yes. Oh, yes.
- Can I take this out?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.
- You have a condom, right?
- Yeah.
Great.
Woah, what is that?
Oh, it's a blood clot.
Oh. I've never seen anything
like that before.
Yeah, I don't think they're on
the high streets or anything.
Woah. It's so soft.
When it comes out,
can you feel it?
Okay.
Tried.
I take us somewhere.
It's not far.
You've done really well today.
Don't hurt me.
That was fun!
Yeah. That was wild.
Yeah, nice to meet you guys.

We are going out,
you guys are welcome to join us.
Yeah, we're still a bit busy.
- Oh. Okay!
- Yeah.
Black holes, dark matter, bitch.
Get it.
- Have fun.
- Bye.
Wow.
I'm not proud of my job.
My mother
died of, um, heroin overdose,
and my big sister died the same.
I'm ashamed.
You gotta do
what you gotta do, man.
Daft Punk.
You knows that you knew it.
I was enjoying your dancing.
God.
You're cool, Bella.
- Stop the drugs.
- Oh, for God's sake.
Why have you gotta be
such a fuckin' party-pooper
trying to regulate the tings?
Just look at the stars,
it's twinkling, for fuck's sake.
Okay.
You get in trouble one day,
don't come crying to me.
You don't need
to pretend
to be someone you're not.
When you're here with me,
I give you permission to do you!
Do you have any advice
for focus?
I have a book due.
They have given me a guide
to help me.
Okay, what genre is this?
I've never really spoken
to a brother who is
What? Gay?
Well, we're probably going
to be having sex in a minute.
- Should we do that now?

Three, two, one!
Go down, my phoenixes!
