is doing these days?

Just like, "Peww, deposit"?

It's mad.

Mad.

The privilege

of the underprivileged.

When's my own

privilege arriving?

Oh, Terry, it's here.

It's here.

If anything you've ever written

gets read to an audience,

I better be

performing that sh*t.

No. Your birth is my birth.

- Your death is my death, G.

- Your death is my death.

I just wanna do what I love.

You do, you did that play.

You were amazing.

- And get paid.

- You did get paid.

Paid.

I'm gonna need to f*ck someone

in this bed.

Will the money people be okay

if I f*ck someone in this bed?

Well, they don't know

you're here so, yeah,

they'll be fine.

Yeah. I owe it to the bounce

to f*ck someone in this bed.

Yeah,

this is getting uncomfortable.

No

I need pepperoni.

But who's that?

- Who?

- Him.

- It's the waiter.

- Ask him for a menu then.

Can we get a menu then?

Signorina, the menu

is already on the table.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

Don't touch it.

I'm so hungry.

Don't touch it.

So, the best place

to go is the basketball court,

it's really easy.

Just sit there,

and the guy who's got

the really good sh*t

is like best friends

with my brother.

It's all safe. I promise you.

There you go.

On the house.

- What?

- Rah

Thank you.

I'll get you that water, yeah?

Hmm. Yes, please. Yes.

Jesu Christo B.

God is omnipotent.

So what do we do now?

We just sit.

Well, I'm going to ask

Auntie Google how to say

"can I have some Molly"

in Italian.

- That's a good plan.

- Mmm.

Can I have some Molly

Oh, look,

there's that girl.

Oh, free fries.

Hey, free fries.

It's Mathilda.

You guys are funny.

Do you need help?

What do you want?

sort you out.

Mm-mm, girl.

So there's

a house party tonight.

Maybe take my number

if you wanna come?

- Um, I will.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

- Can I get your number as well?

- Hmm?

What if I wanna pick up or

You have more than enough

for two.

Who is he to try

and regulate the ting?

I'm done.

- Mmm.

Uh, Blanco Ristocaffe,

T Caffe,

Ristretto Ostia.

What are you typing in?

Best place to have a cappuccino?

Well, I can text free fries,

she's local.

Nope! She's gonna make us

go to the house party,

and I don't wanna be talking to

basketball players all night.

- I know.

- For my neck to be hurting me.

And for my brain to be parched,

thirsty for substance.

- I know.

- I want quantum physics,

- my height.

- Yeah. You want substance.

Depth, complexity, humility,

my height, my height.

Okay. Well, fine.

We'll go to the cafe.

The ceilings

are usually low there.

And I think they actually do

that on purpose to keep

- the basketball players out.

- Shut up.

It's like a well-known

basketball player deterrent,

- the low ceilings

- Rubbish.

Coke or Molly?

Or their love child?

We can't have both.

Weed ain't even left

my system yet.

Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm.

And Molly would go

quite well with the tones

- of the evening, hmm?

- Mmm.

- Ready?

- Uh-huh.

You're being reductive.

- No. I'm just

- That was

I'm just saying.

Our careers are different.

You put a f*g 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 f*cking power,

everybody knows that.

So you don't

You got zero responsibility

over your career? Not a shred?

- Obviously I have a shred.

- Right.

Yeah, exactly.

So that shred is everything.

- Yes.

- Mm-hmm.

- It's hit me.

- Exactly. That shred.

Control what you can,

no more, no less.

What?

Aw, you rolling?

Well, I don't feel anything.

Maybe I sh

- Yeah.

- Ooh.

Amazing.

- We're doing amazing things.

- Mmm.

Yeah.

- You are so uplifting.

- Aww, thanks.

Wow, I said that too nicely.

You really did.

Control your jaw.

Exactly. Control what you can

no more, no less.

- Control your jaw.

- Oh, really?

- What I got to control?

- What?

- I've gotta go!

- Then go!

Get it! Get it!

Get it! Get it!

Sorry, sorry! Yeah, sorry.

For real?

Let me go back.

Continue straight.

In 400 meters, exit left.

Take the first left.

Wow, you're beautiful.

What's your name?

My name is Giovanni.

I like Mountain Dew.

What?

Mountain Dew,

it's an American soft drink.

The original formula

was made in 1940,

and, uh, they revised

the formula in 1958.

- Are you crazy?

- No,

but I could do

with some company.

You look for your friend?

Yeah.

So, are you from America?

- London.

- London? Really?

You beautiful.

And what are you doing here?

I'm working here.

I'm a writer,

I just like

to go away sometimes.

Feel a different energy.

You wanna feel my energy?

Come on.

Oop!

What are you drinking?

- G&T.

- G&T.

- Okay, I'll be back.

- Okay.

Do I get a dance, too?

Oh, pardon,

I just couldn't help myself.

I understand, I'm the same.

- It's still yours.

- Thank you.

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.

Stalker.

- Where do you live here?

- I don't know.

- It's in my passport.

- Where's your address?

Left.

You?

How've you got this song?

You don't know this song.

Okay.

If you look, I swear to God

I will f*cking k*ll you.

Oh, sh*t.

Faith.

Terry?

If she is not here,

I'm calling the police.

If you do, let me know

so I can get out of here.

Hi. I'm busy.

Ras and clat, hello, gentlemen.

Cappuccino to go?

- Quantum physics?

- I'm busy.

Spooky action at a distance!

Get back, get back.

Go back.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Do you, uh, want a drink?

- Water.

- Water?

I don't drink.

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, f*ck.

- f*ck.

- 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.

- Terradat?

- Yes?

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, b*tch.

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 f*ck' party-pooper

trying to regulate the tings?

Just look at the stars,

it's twinkling, for f*ck'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? g*y?

Well, we're probably going

to be having sex in a minute.

- Should we do that now?

- Yeah.

You're very sexy, Kwame.

Three, two, one!

Go down, my phoenixes!
