00:00 Jonathan.
00:02 Hello.
00:04 Oh, my God.
00:06 What are you actually looking at?
00:08 What?
00:10 I mean, when I'm talking to you.
00:12 Wait, the rug?
00:14 The wall? What is it?
00:16 See, when I talk to him, he doesn't look at me.
00:18 Is there a reason
00:20 you're not looking at Carolyn?
00:22 I thought I was.
00:24 What, do you have eyes on the side of your head?
00:26 This is how I listen. I didn't know.
00:28 This is how I concentrate, okay?
00:30 I mean, how long have you fucking
00:32 known me? This is how I look. Whatever.
00:34 Carolyn, maybe if
00:36 Jonathan repeats back to you
00:38 what you've said, would that help you to feel heard?
00:40 No, I don't need him to repeat
00:42 back to me what I just said. I need him
00:44 to fucking look at me. Look at
00:46 me. Turn your head and look at me.
00:48 Oh, it's funny, I guess.
00:50 It's really funny.
00:52 Is that so hard? Don't tell me what to do
00:54 and do not point at me.
00:56 Okay?
00:58 For some reason, he doesn't like me to point at him.
01:00 Yeah, for some reason. Imagine.
01:02 Imagine this all day. Imagine,
01:04 "Hey!" Imagine it.
01:06 Maybe you should talk to him about his mother.
01:08 Did your mom point at you when you were a little kid? Is that why?
01:10 My mom has been dead for less than a week!
01:12 You're such a fucking bitch.
01:14 I'm a fucking bitch?
01:16 Did you hear that? I'm a fucking bitch. That's what I am.
01:18 Me. I'm a bitch. The one who does everything
01:20 for you all the time. Don.
01:22 All the time. Don. Yeah, Don, you fix it.
01:24 Fix it. Make it better for him. He can't do it by himself.
01:26 Don, you want to intervene here?
01:28 I mean, we can do this at home.
01:30 Um,
01:32 well, both of you
01:34 know a more productive way to communicate.
01:36 So, how about
01:38 yeah, with a little
01:40 less contempt and some more
01:42 honest feelings. Okay, here's
01:44 a more honest feeling.
01:46 Um, we've been coming
01:48 here a long time
01:50 and nothing changes.
01:52 You know what, Jonathan?
01:54 Leave him alone. He looks tired.
01:56 You do.
02:20 I was on my way to class.
02:22 I thought I'd drop by and say hi. So, hi.
02:24 We got in a new strain. You want to try? Very mellow.
02:26 No. Mom,
02:28 you smoke weed. I work in a weed store. Take it.
02:30 I'm not going to buy pop from you.
02:32 You go to that place, it's a total rip-off.
02:34 I do not. You do. Okay, I don't want to talk about this.
02:36 You can buy it from me.
02:38 Oh, no thank you.
02:40 I just, I hate your
02:44 working here. It's dangerous.
02:46 We have security. Him?
02:48 Can I have a donut?
02:50 Okay, they're for my students.
02:52 They're for my students. Cool. Thanks, Mom.
02:54 These, um... Thank you.
02:56 You're welcome.
02:58 So, how's the writing going?
03:02 It's going.
03:04 I can't wait. Yeah, well, don't get too
03:06 excited. I don't know if it's any good or not.
03:08 Are you kidding me? It's going to be amazing.
03:10 I love you so much. I've got to go.
03:12 Okay? I love you. Bye. Bye.
03:16 Wake up.
03:18 So, you're a writer?
03:22 You never said. Well,
03:24 trying to be. I know how that is.
03:26 I'm an executive producer.
03:28 I want to write about
03:32 this man on the street who came up to me
03:34 and said that his car had a flat
03:36 and that he needed to change out of his nice
03:38 clothes to change the tire.
03:40 So, he asked me to stand guard while he
03:42 changed out of the nice clothes so nobody
03:44 would see him. That happened to me, too.
03:46 Really?
03:48 And how old were you? Nine.
03:50 Okay. I don't understand.
03:52 So what?
03:54 He took off his pants and started masturbating
03:56 while staring at me.
03:58 That's disgusting. I am
04:00 horrified that that happened
04:02 to you, Ivy, and to you,
04:04 Mariel. But it's
04:06 very compelling to write about
04:08 something so personal, for sure.
04:10 Absolutely. Billy, do you
04:12 have anything you'd like to share with me? Yeah, okay.
04:14 So, I knew this girl once
04:16 who talked too much.
04:18 It drove me crazy.
04:20 One day, a bee flew in her mouth
04:22 and I thought it was
04:24 hysterical and just so perfectly poetic.
04:26 Yeah. I literally thought,
04:28 "Thank God. Maybe now
04:30 she'll actually shut up."
04:32 But then she had an allergic reaction
04:34 and died.
04:36 Oh, wow.
04:38 I didn't see that coming. That is...
04:40 That's terrible. Right there in front
04:42 of you this happened? Uh, in the hospital.
04:44 But it was pretty awful.
04:46 And I want to write about that day
04:48 because of the guilt I have
04:50 from laughing. I just felt so terrible.
04:52 Well, I think that
04:54 that has the potential to be a very
04:56 moving story. What if you want
04:58 to write about somebody who's not dead
05:00 but it's not very nice about them?
05:02 To tell you the truth, I say just
05:04 write your heart out and
05:06 don't show it to them.
05:08 Really? Yeah.
05:10 What kind
05:12 of story were you thinking about? How?
05:14 Something in a prison.
05:16 Oh, alright.
05:18 And what about
05:20 a prison specifically
05:22 interests you?
05:24 Jail?
05:26 For sure.
05:28 Gosh, guys.
05:30 What a productive class.
05:32 I can't get over. We've got such a good
05:34 group. Give yourself a hand.
05:36 (applause)
05:37 Yeah, I love it.
05:38 Fantastic.
