00:00Oh my God, are you Dan Bender?
00:08Hey.
00:09Your play a few years ago was so rad.
00:10Oh thanks.
00:11It's not really my thing anymore.
00:13So what's your thing?
00:14Oh hello.
00:15How are you Dan the door man?
00:16They put you with the hotel?
00:17I'm really looking forward to seeing that bed later.
00:19I'm really looking forward to seeing you in that bed later.
00:29You're not dealing with your grief.
00:33Don't put it off on me, man.
00:35You're the one who has to live with himself.
00:37You're right. I do.
00:39We have an arrival coming in next week.
00:41I think they really benefit from your perspective.
00:45Where'd you meet this one?
00:47New Jersey, about 20 years ago.
00:49I can't really talk about her because she's standing right here,
00:51but she really likes me and has since she was like 8 years old.
00:53Ah!
00:55We're gonna have to let you go, Dad.
00:59Okay.
01:03Look, I got 7 grand on this card.
01:05Let's just fill it up with good times
01:07and good food and bitches and Broadway plays.
01:09Did you just say bitches and Broadway plays?
01:11I'm tired of feeling trapped by everything.
01:13No fear.
01:15No consequences.
01:17Anything is possible.
01:19Just you and me.
01:21I just, like, I want to feel free.
01:23If I was there that night,
01:25I would've done something to stop you.
01:27You're like my angel, Danny.
01:29I would've walked right in there,
01:31and I would've done something.
01:33Just don't get hurt, okay?
01:35Whatever.
01:43Get it to me by tomorrow or I'll stab you in the neck.
01:47I'm just hiding.
01:49From what?
01:51You're more interested in destroying yourself
01:53and everything around you than living like a real human person.
01:55Let's get drunk.
02:01No!
02:03You guys don't have to stay.
02:09I don't know why do I have the things I do anymore.
02:17I'm trying to end violence.
02:19Ending violence? That's my life's work.
02:21What's yours?
02:27What is this?
02:29Come inside and I'll show you.
