Codependency.
Co. Dependency.
It's one of those big,
confusing words floating around
that you don't even
pay attention to.
Until it happens to you.
And at first it sounds great,
you know?
You love someone and
you need someone so much
that you can't properly
function without them?
Uh, yes, please!
But then you start to realize,
"Oh,
there's a darker side to this."
What if that very person is the
thing that's holding you back?
[sighs]
Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Hey.
[sighing]
Are you kidding me?
Why are you here?
Yes, I realize you stowed away
in my special bag,
even though I forbade you.
I'm asking you why you're here.
That is-- That's just--
That's not true.
No, I don't.
No, I do not!
No, no, I don't need you!
You go!
You get out of here!
As I was saying before
I was rudely interrupted,
this is Brant.
My first solo project.
Hmm, look at that sweet,
beautiful face.
I don't think I've ever been so
excited to get to know someone.
Who is he?
I mean, sure, he loves
Bikram Yoga, he loves squash,
he loves his extensive Blues
Traveler bootleg collection.
And, yeah,
he has interpersonal issues
with his little sister, Justine,
who, by the way, is sleeping
with his best friend, Garrett,
even though
he doesn't know it yet.
And he did just lose his job,
making him a great candidate
to film a stranger in a motel
for a thousand dollars.
But honestly,
do you really know someone?
- Until they walk in your door--
- [knocking on door]
Oh!
Hey.
MAN: Hi.
Uh, you look different
than your picture.
Uh, don't we all?
I mean, I hope you're
not disappointed or
MAN: You look really different.
Harry P?
MAN: I'm sorry?
I-- I have the wrong room,
I'm so sorry.
MAN: Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
What if you have the right room?
What if fate
brought you to me tonight
instead of to your friend,
Harry P?
Yeah, no.
Can't believe I just did that.
I can't believe it.
I just let a big fish
like that just
just walk down the hall.
I could have said I was his
friend, Harry P, you know?
And-- and we could be in here
right now just partying.
Just having a great time and--
I mean, is it real?
Can I not do this on my own or?
I don't think so.
No, no, no, it's not, no.
You know what? No.
This is not a me issue.
This is a Brant issue.
That's what this is.
It is a Brant issue. Yes.
He is the one who is late.
It is not me.
And by the way,
he's not that late.
And even if he was late,
who cares?
People are late,
he's a human being.
He's gonna get here,
we're gonna have a great time
and it's gonna be fine.
Buddy!
Brant, it's your friend, Kyle.
It is, uh, late.
We said 8:30 p.m.
I did ask you if
you were a dependable person.
You said yes
and I believed you, so
I hope nothing terrible
has happened to you, you know?
And-- and--
and I'm worried about you.
Less about you being late,
but just your well-being, so
Um, yeah, just worried
about you. Okay.
Brant, this is Kyle again.
I just have to say
one last thing.
I think you're being
really unprofessional.
And you know what?
Unprofessional is fine,
but you know what's not fine?
Being rude and inconsiderate.
So, while I still hope nothing
bad has happened to you,
if something bad
did not happen to you,
and you are this late
of your own accord,
then maybe I wish
something bad did happen to you.
Something really bad.
[sighing]
All right, that was--
that was a little much.
Yeah, that was--
that was unnecessary.
God, you're so cranky.
Why are you so cranky?
Honestly, this is not good.
This-- this behavior is--
this is a slippery slope.
[knocking on door]
[Kyle whistling]
[knocking on door]
[Kyle screaming]
[growling]
[toilet flushing]
[footsteps]
Welcome back.
I can't help but notice
you barely touched your food.
I got you your favorite.
Chang's.
P.F. Chang's.
Peach buzz.
All right, fine. Fine.
You're right. And when
you're right, you're right.
I thought
I'd make a little funny
to lighten the mood, but um
When there's an elephant in
the room, or in this case
I guess we just gotta
get right down to it, so
let's do it.
[exhaling]
I would like to start
by apologizing for my part
and all the tension that
we've been experiencing lately.
I-- I realize that
we've become codependent
and-- and-- and a little toxic.
And I know it's hard to sustain
a long-term relationship
like this.
I'm guilty of not watering the
partnership as much as I could,
so I want to apologize.
And I wanna tell you that
I'm willing to compromise.
I'm willing to do whatever
it takes to make this work.
I love you.
[growling]
Okay, can-- can--
can we please not? Can--
Can we just be
adults tonight, please?
There it is. This. Right here.
This is the problem.
I come to you vulnerable.
I come to meet you halfway
and what do you do?
You just-- you just pull me
over towards your side.
- That's what's--
- [growling]
Yeah, you think-- No.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
That's not how this works.
Because we are a family
and we have to consider
everyone's feelings here.
Do you understand that?
[snarling]
Don't you dare
talk to me like that!
Don't you dare!
I buy you a nice meal.
No, I buy you an excellent meal,
and this is how you repay me?
I'll turn this camera off
right now.
I'll do it.
We can go right home.
We don't have to have a movie.
- [growling]
- Hey!
Stop it!
You stop that right now!
You were just a little bitch ass
baby wolf when I found you,
and I will put you right back--
Don't you grind
those hips at me!
I know what you're doing and
I will do it right back to you!
I will! I will murder you!
I will murder you
and I will cut you up
and I will eat you up!
[growling]
So, he's, um
He's still very angry.
So I think we're
going to have to resort
to some kind of plan B here.
I don't wanna hurt him,
you know?
I just-- I just wanna see
if I can do this on my own,
just one night.
It's like I wish there was a
way I could just euthanize him.
I mean, temporarily, of course.
[sighing]
Hey, buddy.
I am so sorry
I lost my temper like that.
I really, really shouldn't have.
I did some reflecting
in the bathroom,
and I've decided, well
you win.
I don't wanna
fight with you anymore.
If that means we're codependent
or if that means you have
to take over completely,
I'm okay with it,
I just wanna make peace.
Can I pet you?
Aw, yeah.
That's a good boy.
Everything's gonna be--
- Okay, all right!
- [growling]
- Got you now! No biting!
- [snarling]
Ow! Ow! No biting!
Ow! I said no biting!
[snarling]
[footsteps]
Wait, come back!
It was a joke!
I wasn't gonna--
Where'd you go?
- Hello?
- [lights humming]
Oh, no.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Okay, okay.
Where'd you go? Where'd you go?
All right.
[Kyle panting]
Where'd you go?
[laughing] I got you.
It's okay.
Hmm?
Oh, man.
That was good.
That was really good.
Okay, shower!
[soft grunting]
Oh, the shower. A classic!
Maybe slowly backing up.
Can't see behind me.
Quick bump. There you are!
Okay. But seriously,
like, where are you?
This is crazy.
How do you make God laugh?
You make a plan.
You try to do something nice
for yourself for once.
You meticulously plan
a beautiful evening.
- And then--
- [door squeaking]
Really?
Okay.
I am so tired. I am just
I am so tired.
I'm not sure that's true.
Mommy?
Wait.
Are you saying we're--
I miss it too.
Wait, is this real?
Or are you tricking me?
Because you know I have a hard
time telling the difference.
Wait.
You locked yourself--
I-- I don't see a lock.
I'm-- I'm not--
I'm not sure that's possible.
Okay, if you say so.
Wait.
Wait, I can just
leave you in here.
I could. I could just go home.
I could end
all of this right now. I--
I could lead a normal life.
I'm sorry.
I think I have to say goodbye.
I think--
[growling]
[water running]
Oh? What? What?
Oh, boy. Oh, God.
Oh, uh,
Okay. I can see you're angry.
- [water running]
- Yeah. [grunting]
If we don't talk about
our feelings, I don't--
- [water running]
- Okay, okay.
- Can I just ask you--
- [water running]
Could you please--
That's not-- No.
- We're just--
- [water running]
You know what? Fine.
Go ahead. Fine.
If you need to do it,
just get it out of your system.
I don't care.
I'll do this all day long.
Okay? Yeah. Okay.
All right, enough.
Really, that's enough.
That's enough.
[shouting] Enough!
[panting]
Oh. I see.
You've got the camera now.
Somebody wants to be a big wolf.
Okay.
Well, just you remember this.
You take a shot at the king
baby, you best not miss.
[both laughing]
[knocking on door]
Oh!
BRANT: Kyle?
If I came all the way out here.
Kyle, are you here?
KYLE: Brant?
BRANT: Kyle, yeah, hey!
KYLE: Brant, is it really you?
BRANT: Yeah, man.
I'm sorry I'm late.
KYLE: Oh, Brant,
you have no idea
what I've been through
tonight waiting for you.
I'm so glad you're here.
Are you still up for this?
You're not too tired?
Because you're
really, really late.
BRANT: Yeah, I'm good.
KYLE: Okay, okay.
Look, I'm gonna open
the door a little bit.
Don't come in! Don't come in!
BRANT: Okay.
KYLE: You count to three
and I think we can get
this in one perfect shot.
BRANT: Okay. Um
One.
Two.
Three.
Um
- [Kyle shouting]
- BRANT: Fuck!
