Lovebug (2025)

[bunniefuu]

(car engine roaring)

(upbeat music)

- Well, are you gonna

say something

or are you just

going to sit there?

- I don't know what's happening.

- Just tell me what's going on.

- You told me to come here.

- Yeah, yeah, I did.

What the hell

are you doing here, Gracie?

- Are you gonna save this

relationship or not, Dougie?

Cause right now,

right now, it's all on you.

- I, I'm really confused.

I didn't know we needed saving.

- See, that's the problem.

- You've been stealing

from the register, Gracie.

Everybody knows it.

- Really?

Oh, come on, Brick.

Do you honestly think

I'm capable

of doing something like that?

- Yes.

No, no.

Can you,

can you repeat that?

- Oh my God, I asked you,

if you know how to

k*ll a man, Douglass.

- Why do you think I

would steal from you?

I'm your hardest worker.

Who else comes in

here seven days a week?

- The camera's

caught you, Gracie.

I don't know what

you want me to say.

- Well, Brick,

what I want you to say, buddy,

is that, it's a joke.

- You're joking, right?

You can't be serious.

- No

Look, I just, I need

someone more macho, okay?

I need someone more, mmh!

You know what I mean?

I need my man to

have the ba*ls and,

the brawn to

literally k*ll for me.

- Did you have a certain

person in mind or

is this just a random

act of violence?

- I'll pay you back, I promise.

- Oh, really?

- Really, if you let me

keep my job, Brick,

I will pay you back

double of what I

owe you, I promise.

I need money to make money.

I'm sorry, I'm, I'm, very

confused on what's happening.

- I'm telling you right now

what your problem is, Douglass.

Why I know for a fact that you

can actually k*ll for me.

- I'm gonna open up to you.

You...

You don't know

how hard it is

to be a girl alone

in this world.

And I'm just trying

to live life.

God damn it,

I'm just trying to live my life.

- You are a parasite, Douglass.

You know that?

Okay, I have seen

your antennas

and they are protruding

and I cannot stop

looking at them

because they just keep digging

deep into me.

- If you need money so bad,

why don't you just

wh*re yourself out?

Greedy f*cking b*tch.

- What did you just

say to me, you f*ck?

- Are you on drugs?

No, I'm not saying

that to be mean.

I'm saying that because I'm

genuinely concerned about you.

I care about you and I love you,

And so...

- Don't say that.

- I said,

why don't you find a job

that doesn't require any morals?

- I have morals!

- Obviously not!

- Get out.

- Amanda, come on.

- No, I'm serious.

Get out!

- Amanda, please.

- Go!

- f*ck you!

(upbeat music)

I'll f*cking

wh*re you out, Brick.

What kind of a name is Brick?

I mean, it sounds

like a f*cking Brick.

Stupid hair, stupid

face, stupid insults.

f*ck!

wh*re me out.

Okay, man.

Okay.

(retro music)

Good idea, Brick.

Hey!

- Hey?

- Let me see your c*ck.

My wiener?

- Whatever you want to call it,

I don't care.

Just show me.

(retro music)

[Terrified by Thumpasaurus]

I'm terrified of these

emotions rising up inside

My head is spinning

am I justified.

When I say

I cant be in love with you.

But my heart says different.

And I cant deny.

When I think about you

babe well I could cry.

But I'm so scared

that this is a misfire

I can't help it,

know how I feel

No I can't suppress

what I feel inside.

Here we go

Here we go

Even though I'm terrified

It's alright,

I gotta sh**t my

shot tonight shot tonight,

Won't forgive myself,

if I don't try.

I don't try.

Even though I'm

Terrified

To fall in love with you,

I'm terrified

To feel the pain of love

and though I try

This feeling of love.

Has overtaken me.

[soft moan]

[soft moan]

Won't forgive myself,

if I don't try.

I don't try.

Even though I'm

Terrified

It's alright,

I gotta sh**t my

shot tonight shot tonight

Won't forgive myself,

if I don't try.

I don't try

Even though I'm

Terrified.

To fall in love with you,

I'm terrified.

To feel the pain of love

and though I try.

- Oh f*ck.

Oh!

Has overtaken me.

[heavy breathing]

[door creaks]

I'm Douglass, by the way.

- That's a good name.

I'm Gracie.

- I like that name.

That's uh,.

- Really?

yeah, it's a good name too.

- Thank you.

- Totally.

- My parents picked it.

- It's a good choice.

So...

Gracie, tell me, do you uh,

do this sorta thing a lot?

Where uh, you meet

someone off the street

and then you bring

them and you know, they...

- No, no, um, you're uh,

you're special Douglass.

- Oh?

I must be lucky too.

- Yeah, let's say that.

- Water.

- Oh, thanks.

I uh,

I hope I did alright.

- With what?

- With the sex.

[chuckles]

You were more than alright.

So, tell me about yourself,

how did you end up

on that corner?

- Can we do a different one?

- What?

- Different question,

can we do a different question?

- Yeah, um, I got a couple.

What's your family like?

Are you in college?

- Enough about me,

what about you?

- What do you mean

enough about you,

I didn't get

anything from that.

- Yeah, that's totally okay.

That's great.

Uh, what about you?

What's going on?

- I didn't get an answer,

so you don't either.

Okay, fine, I'll go.

Stop looking at me

like that, it's weird.

Okay, well um, for starters,

I just got fired

from my job, so,

that's where I was

before I saw you.

- sh*t, well, I'm sorry.

- It's fine, I mean I ended up

getting a good bonus from it

for the last couple months,

so that's good.

- Do you know

why you were fired?

- No, no, not at all,

it was like really weird.

- Well, it's their loss.

- Yeah, yeah, I was like a great

asset to the team, they said.

- Yeah, totally, and

you can find...

- I mean I just really needed

the money, you know?

- And my boss, my boss,

oh my God,

he was so rude about it,

guess what he said to me?

He told me that

I should become a porn star.

- He fired you and then

told you to become a porn star?

- Yeah, that's exactly

what he said, it's weird, right?

- Yeah, definitely weird.

I'd say that's really

odd to fire someone

and then tell them to

become a porn star.

- I could never do it though,

I'm way too shy for that stuff.

-What?

Gracie.

No, you'd be, you'd be

an amazing porn person.

I mean, you have,

yeah, yeah, you have those

great boobs

that just curve,

they curve really, really nice.

- Douglass, stop,

you're too kind.

I don't, I don't

know, I don't know,

maybe I would consider it

if I wasn't so camera shy.

[Gracie chuckles]

- What?

- It's nothing.

- You gotta tell me

now, what's so funny?

- No, it's like, no, it's

like really stupid, it's bad.

- Come on, tell me.

- Okay, okay,

okay, okay, okay, so,

so hear me out.

Also, I just thought of this,

so it's not like really

a fully formed idea yet.

You could be a star, Douglass.

I, okay, okay, I

know this sounds crazy

since we just

met and all but,

God, I don't know, I just

have this feeling,

like, like this really

special feeling

and, and again, I

haven't thought this out at all,

but you, you

know, when you feel

like in the mood

and you want to,

you want to buy a dirty video,

but you feel too embarrassed

to go to the video store.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah,

that's the worst.

- Right?

The worst.

- Hate it.

- Well, and, and

again, I, I know this,

I know this sounds insane

and I really haven't

thought about this much but,

we make the porn,

we make you the star,

and then instead

of having to buy from a store,

we send it

directly to the buyers.

It would be like

completely anonymous.

We, we could, we

could even have them

write letters back

and forth to you.

It would be like an entirely

personalized experience.

Would it, really be anonymous

if we had their addresses?

You know, it's better than

having another person

look you in the eyes while you

check out "Ball-Busting Boys 4".

So, so what do you say?

Do you want to,

to give this a try?

- I don't know, Gracie.

I'd love to work with you,

but this just seems like...

Look, what are you, Douglass?

Like 20?

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 26...

- 20.

- You're 20?

- Yeah.

- So you're 20?

- Mmhm.

You're 20.

- Mmhm.

You're 20!

- Yeah.

You're 20 years old, Douglass.

Don't, you want to matter?

Don't you want

to make some sort of

impact before you go?

Die?

And, and, and what

better time to do it

than while you're

young and you don't have

one foot in

the grave already?

I mean, I'm 21,

and I'm,

and I'm not going to college

cause I can't afford it,

but I'm still trying

my absolute hardest to succeed

because,

because, I want to matter.

And this,

Douglass, this matters.

Us meeting each other,

that wasn't, that wasn't chance,

that was, that was fate.

That was destiny.

That was Kismet.

I mean, think, think

of everything that

we could accomplish together,

the success that we could find.

It, matters that it matters.

- You really think it's fate?

Like,

we're really

meant to be together?

- Yes.

My God yes, I do.

Yes, it was fate.

- And you think this would work?

like we'd,

we'd make

some real money?

- With you?

As a star?

There's no doubt about it.

- Okay.

We'll give it a try.

- Oh my God.

This is amazing,

you're amazing.

- You're really good

at this, Gracie.

- What?

- Coming up with ideas.

I mean, you really just thought

of all of this right now,

That's...

- Once those gears

start turning,

there's no going back, so.

- So how do we get started?

- Easy, we start right now,

I have the camera and

the tripod out in the other room

- Oh, like now?

Yeah, all ready,

It's already there.

- How'd you know

I'd say yes.

- Because I know you.

You ready?

- Okay.

[camera flickers]

All right.

You can just take a seat

right there on the ground.

- Here?

Yeah, like right there.

- Okay.

- The other way.

- Scoot, Left, right?

- That's good.

- Okay, that's cool.

So, um, what, uh,

exactly are we starting with?

So, we'll just start

with a solo masturbation piece,

It's a classic.

- Uh- huh.

- Should we

do a practice round first?

- Have you ever

jerked off before?

- Yeah, like...

- Just like that.

Amazing.

It'll be perfect.

It'll be great.

Solid.

Yeah.

- Do you want me to look

directly into the lens

or right above it?

I could also...

I could look at you.

I could maybe alternate as well.

Here, um, lens, above, you.

Lens, above, you.

Lens, above, you.

Lens...

- Just look at me,

there's no need to alternate.

- Alright, yeah.

I could moan maybe.

Do you want me to like, moan?

- You could moan.

I would like that.

- Yeah.

I'll moan.

Is this a bad idea?

Like, are people

gonna make fun of me?

-What?

No.

No, Douglass.

This is your moment.

You're a natural star.

People are gonna be obsessed.

- You sure?

- Yes.

Yes.

Although, I did just realize

you're missing something.

- What?

What is it?

- Well, every star needs a name.

So,

[clears throat]

What about,

Dougie Style.

Dougie?

Like, like dog.

- Mm-hmm.

I get it.

- Good.

- Dougie Style.

I like that.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Perfect.

All right, okay.

Well, um,

camera's all ready to go,

so I will just call action.

And then you can just do...

- That's when I...

- Your thing.

That's when I, I, I

start to touch myself.

- Oh yeah, you can touch

yourself however you want.

- Okay.

- And probably

remove your clothes.

- Smart.

Okay, like, yeah.

You can look.

- No, that's fine.

This is, this is simple,

just something to get you

nice and comfortable on camera.

Yes.

All right.

All right.

Ready?

- Mhmm.

- And,

action.

- Ooh.

- Yep.

Yeah, get more into it.

This isn't supposed to be

something that's realistic.

Perfect, that's perfect.

Okay, can you turn

to your side a little bit.

[Dougie moans]

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music continues]

[clock ticks]

We got a weird one.

How weird?

Inflatophilia.

Huh?

[upbeat music]

- Can we, uh,

go get some dinner?

- Dinner seems

like a great idea.

I need your help responding

to these letters first.

- Uh, you said

you'd handle that.

Can I just be the model?

- Yeah, but I'm trying to add

some personality

to Dougie Style.

- Okay.

- Look at this guy.

- Oh, he's actually hot.

- You think so?

- Yeah, look at him.

[exhales deeply]

- Okay.

[clears throat]

Dear Dougie Style,

I loved the new

solo tape you made.

- Oh, that's nice.

- Can you try sitting on a cake?

- No, that's odd.

- Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

It's easy enough to say yes

without us

just sitting on a cake.

It's just how do we make it

sound like you want to do that?

- Mm-hmm.

Okay, I suppose I could say.

Hey there,

there's nothing I'd

love more than to sit on a cake.

- Right.

- It makes me hard and horny.

- I don't know.

That sounds kind of weird.

Let's try another one.

- Yeah

- Hi, Dougie Style.

I've been re-watching

all the tapes

you've sent me so far.

I like to imagine

you're here with me when I do.

Being able to

write to you like this

makes me feel close to you.

It's like I know you.

I really feel like I know you.

I imagine taking your head

and pressing it hard

against my wall as I f*ck you.

I wish I could

just keep you with me

for days

as my personal f*ck toy.

I want to break you.

Would you even

be able to say no?

I'm just jerking your jeans,

but I do wish

I could meet you.

Keep up the good work,

from, Bill.

[static sound]

[intense music]

[Gracie laughs]

Oh, that's weird.

What do we have to say to that?

It's just so weird.

- I don't like that, Gracie.

I don't like that at all.

- Wait a minute,

are you being serious?

- Yes,

I'm being serious, Gracie.

That guy sounded like a lunatic.

I don't want him

watching me anymore.

- Okay, okay.

Just calm down.

It's fine.

- What if he finds

out where I live?

I don't know what he'd do to me

if he found me.

- Douglass he's not gonna

find out where you live.

I don't even know

where you live.

If he finds you anywhere,

it's going to be here.

- How is that supposed to help?

Wait, why don't I know

where you live?

- Because it doesn't matter.

I feel like at this

point I should probably know.

- Gracie, I'm

freaking out right now.

- Okay, just relax.

Everything's fine, okay?

I don't want to sell

to him anymore.

- Douglass, he's one

of our top buyers.

If we let him go just because of

some little letter, then...

-Then, then what?

We still have plenty

of other buyers.

We'll be fine without him.

You're not thinking straight

if we start

cutting clients off...

- Can we please,

just go get dinner.

Please.

[car engine roaring]

This isn't exactly

what I had in mind.

What'd you say?

I just thought

we'd go out and

do, you know, actual like

couple things, you know?

- What do you mean?

We're a couple and

we got a couple things.

- Just...

I don't know.

- I don't know what you mean.

- I just...

It doesn't matter, honestly.

- It doesn't matter, honestly.

Come on, you know, you can't

just say stuff like that and not

talk about it.

- I've been putting

a lot into this,

the business side of things,

but also our

relationship and...

-Okay, so you're saying

I'm not putting anything

into our relationship?

- No, no, that's not

what I'm saying.

I'm just, I'm, I'm trying

to explain how I feel.

- Okay, so then explain.

Well, we're dating, right?

But we're also

business partners.

And sometimes,

not, not all the time,

but sometimes I feel like you're

putting the business

ahead of me.

And I-I-I-I am not

exactly sure where

I'm going with

the rest of this,

but basically I

want you to, or us

to put more into the

relationship, part of thing.

[police siren wailing]

[Gracie cries]

I'm sorry, uh, no.

- No, no, I'm so sorry

you didn't deserve any of that,

I've been such a c**t!

- No, you're not a c**t.

You're not a c**t.

- And the worst part

about all of this,

is that

I've been treating you...

I- I-I-I am so, so sorry.

No, no, I shouldn't

I shouldn't have brought it up.

No, I promise you,

you are so amazing.

You're perfect.

Come on, come on,

you drove me all the way here,

and you got me this Big Gulg.

- It is just a stupid Big Gulg.

- It is not a stupid Big Gulg.

I love Big Gulg.

- Do you mean that?

You love Big Gulg?

- Yes, yes,

of course I do, baby.

I love Big Glug.

I'm just saying, I

think we can both put

a little extra effort into the

relationship side of things.

I'm only saying that cause

I care about you so much.

- Thank you for

putting up with me.

I'm sorry, I'm such a mess.

- You are not a mess.

I totally understand

why you'd be upset.

- I just want to go

home and cuddle.

- Well,

let's go home and cuddle.

- I'm sorry for making you cry.

- It's all good, you're fine.

Why is this sh*t out already?

It's not even Christmas yet.

[Christmas jingle music]

Okay.

- Alright.

- Let's see this pickle.

[Douglass chuckles]

- You haven't even

had dinner yet.

- I don't care, I want

to see the pickle.

What if I told you

it's already here?

- No.

- Yes.

- No.

- Yes.

And if you can find

said pickle in 60 seconds,

you get to open up

one present early.

- Oh, I'm finding

this f*cking pickle.

- 50 seconds left.

- Easy, easy.

Where's this f*cking pickle?

What happens if I

don't find the pickle?

- Then I get to open

up one present early.

And 30 seconds remaining.

- You're blowing too fast.

10, 9, 8, 6.

3, 2, 1.

- It's not even real.

- I wouldn't put a

real pickle in there.

That would make it way too easy.

- What even is this pickle?

- Just a game my family

and I used to play.

- Well, I think it's unfair.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah,

Yeah, that was a stupid game.

And,

I think I'm gonna go now.

- Well, this is your place,

so...

- I really can't stay.

I've got to go away.

This evening has

been so very nice.

- I'll hold your hand

there just like this.

- My mother

will start to worry.

- Beautiful,

what's your hurry?

- I ought to say,

no, no, no sir

- I'm moving closer.

- At least I'm going

to say that I tried.

What's the sense

in hurting my pride?

I really can't stay.

Baby, don't hold out

Baby, it's cold outside.

[both laugh]

- That was sweet.

- Oh, f*ck it, let's open

up some presents.

Yes! Yes!

Okay, okay, okay, hear me out,

hear me out.

Just one more.

- We only have one present left.

- Oops.

[Douglass belches]

- Oops.

- Disgusting.

- Douglass.

Douglass.

Oh my God.

- You like it?

- I love it.

Our tapes are gonna

be twice as good now.

- Um... Gracie?

- Um... Douglass?

- You're awesome.

- I know.

[both chuckle]

- Sorry, I just

had to finish that.

I'm into you, Gracie.

- What you're me?

- No, no, that...

I love you, Gracie.

That is a very scary thing

to say, but, I mean it.

I'm sorry if this is

a lot right now,

but, I wouldn't say this

if I didn't mean it.

This... us,

is something I see long term.

Like,

really long term.

- I love you.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Under one condition, though.

- What?

What condition?

- Yeah, there's a condition.

- Wait, no, I thought love was

supposed to be unconditional.

- Okay, okay well,

it's not a real condition,

I guess, but...

There's something

I need to know.

- I'll tell you anything.

Where do you live, Douglass?

- I live in a fire station.

Yeah, I was dropped

there as a baby

and left with a note

saying, I'm from Rosemary,

and from then on...

- You're Rosemary's baby?

- Yeah.

- You can tell me.

I'm not gonna come m*rder you.

- Why do you wanna know so bad?

- Douglass, you could live in

a McDonald's play place

for all I care.

It doesn't matter.

- Oh, I think it

would be a little weird

if I lived in a McDonald's

play place, you know?

Please?

- I live with my parents.

That's it.

- That's it?

- There's nothing wrong

with living with your parents.

If anything, I'm jealous.

You guys must be close.

Parents can be sh*t.

[Douglass sighs]

- That's the truth.

- Also, I want this

to be long-term, too.

I mean, we've been doing

so well with our tapes.

I can't imagine stopping that

anytime soon.

-Except?

- Huh?

- Huh?

- Did you say something?

- No, I, uh...

I'm just feeling a little tipsy.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

Oh, grab us another bottle.

[gentle music]

- Michael Jackson!

[Gracie laughs]

- Have you been

awake this whole time?

- Long enough to

see you staring at me.

Oh, yeah, you're

in through my slits.

- You really got me.

- No.

My good acting got you.

Hi.

- Hi.

- How are you feeling?

- A bit tired from

the last sh**t,

but, otherwise

feeling pretty good.

- Good.

I have a surprise for you today.

[Gracie chuckles.]

- Oh, yeah?

What is it?

- Well, it wouldn't

be a surprise then.

- I suppose not.

Why don't you give me a hint?

- Um...

No, I think I'm good.

I think we're gonna

have pancakes first.

That's, not the surprise, right?

Gracie!

Oh, yeah, these

pancakes are awesome.

- Thank you.

I put cinnamon

in them this time.

- It's good.

Do we have to

film anything today?

- Nope.

You're off the hook.

We just have one business

related thing to do later.

- Is that the surprise?

- Yes, it is.

- So is it really a surprise

or is it just a business thing?

- Well, I guess it's

mostly a work thing,

but it is surprising how much

money we're gonna make from it.

- Can you just tell me?

- Fine.

You have your first,

fan meet-up.

- A meet-up?

- Yeah, I've been trying to

set one up for a while now.

And I know it sounds scary,

but it shouldn't take too long.

I'll be right next to

you the whole time.

- Are you sure this is safe?

I mean, why are you just

telling me about this now?

- Well, I wasn't sure

if the guy would

flake and he just

confirmed this morning.

- Okay, but I never

said I wanted to do it.

- I thought, that you would be

more excited about this.

I mean, that's why

I made it a surprise for you.

- I'm not sure, Gracie.

- Come on.

It's not gonna be anything

that you haven't done already.

There's a lot of

money in this one.

This could really

change things for us.

- How much?

That's insane, Gracie.

- I know, right?

How can we pass that out?

- Yeah, the money sounds great.

But the idea of

meeting up with a fan

who's a complete

stranger to me, it just...

Doesn't feel right.

I mean, what am I

even gonna do there?

I don't...

- Well, like I said,

it's nothing that

you haven't already done.

- Yeah, but what's that

supposed to mean?

What am I gonna be...

- Please.

I mean, just give this a try.

And, it's not just about

what the money

can do for us, Douglass.

If this works out,

then we can build up

Dougie Style to be a star

that's not only for the fans,

but that's available

to the fans.

This could be what launches us

into the next phase.

- Okay.

We'll give it a shot.

But, if I don't like

how it's going, then

I'm not gonna want

to do another one.

Okay?

- It's fine with me.

You know why?

Because it's not gonna go great.

And it's not until later anyway.

So let's just relax

and spend some time together.

Sound good?

- Yeah.

[upbeat music]

All right, made it.

Don't be scared.

I'm gonna be right

here the whole time.

- Here as in...

Like in the car?

You're you not going

inside with me?

Wait.

You don't want me

to watch you f*ck him, do you?

- What?

I mean, I don't mind,

but I'm pretty sure

the dude's not gonna

want me to watch.

I mean, maybe

other people will in the future,

but I just haven't

checked with him.

I can't do this, Gracie.

I can't.

I just... I can't do this one.

You've done way more

humiliating things for money.

I don't see how this

one's any different.

I mean,

it's not like

the guy's f*cking you,

you're just f*cking him.

- This is...

I can't, Gracie.

I'm really sorry, but, no.

- This is why I didn't tell you.

I knew that you

would act like this.

- I think it's

perfectly normal for me

not to be

comfortable with this.

- I guess I just thought

you were more

dedicated to the business.

- It doesn't bother you?

Having your boyfriend

go f*ck a stranger?

- I'm mature enough,

to separate what's work

and what's not, Douglass.

- If you had sex with another

guy for money, I'd be upset.

- Well, that's not gonna happen.

- I don't feel

comfortable with this,

at all.

I've done a lot, but I don't

think I can do this one.

It just doesn't feel right.

I'm sorry.

- You're right.

You have done a lot.

And it's all on tape.

All of it.

What do you mean by that?

But most importantly,

I believe in you, Douglass.

I know you can do this.

There's nobody else that can.

You're a star.

You're Dougie style.

You should be thankful.

You're building

something that matters.

Doing something that matters.

It's more than

you could ever ask.

- Why do you love me?

- What?

- Why,

Do you love me?

I know why I love you,

but can you say the same?

Being around you,

hearing your laugh,

seeing how smart you are.

But I'm not sure about you.

You make me feel needed,

but what does that even say?

If you love me, if you really,

have any kind of love for me,

I want you to say it now.

If you say it now

and you mean it,

I'll do this for you.

But I need you to

really mean it,

even if it's not

for the right reasons.

If you say it and you mean it,

I'm gonna keep it.

I'm gonna keep it!

I'm gonna keep it.

I just need you to mean it.

- I love you, Douglass.

You give me so much.

If I do this for you,

will you love me even more?

- Absolutely.

[intense music]

This isn't for me, Douglass.

This is for us.

[car door slams]

[intense music]

[static sound]

[car engine roaring]

- Douglass,

I'm really proud

of you for today, I mean it.

I should have told you

what the fan meetup was.

It was messed up, and I'm sorry.

Are you mad?

- No.

- You seem like you're mad.

- I'm not.

- It seems like

something's wrong.

- I'm just adjusting.

- Adjusting to what?

-Today.

I guess how things are gonna be.

- How are things

gonna be, Douglass?

We're both getting

what we want out of this.

I just...

I have to get used to it.

- Get used to what?

I don't know

what you are talking about

- To being honest.

It's not a bad thing.

We both just know what

we're getting out of this now.

Just, don't ever threaten

to blackmail me again.

I love you,

and I'll be a good

business partner,

but just don't

ever do that, please.

It was scary.

- I didn't blackmail you,

Douglass.

- You brought up how

you have me on tape.

Well, you know that,

you're on film

and that

our customers are watching

what you're doing, so...

- I know that, Gracie,

but it's the way you said it.

You made me feel like

you were gonna

show it to my

family or something.

- I don't even know your family,

honestly,

sometimes it feels like I don't

know anything

about you, Douglass.

You know what your

job is, and you know

what that entails, so I don't

know what you're so upset about.

This doesn't make any sense.

- You know why

you said it like that.

It was a threat, Gracie.

- You're not making

any sense at all.

- Can you just let me

go to sleep, please?

Or do you not want me to have

enough energy to film tomorrow?

- Quit it.

- I'm just being realistic.

Do you not want me

to have a good performance?

Wouldn't that risk how

many sales we get?

Wouldn't that do damage

to our revenue stream?

You wouldn't want that.

- f*ck off, Douglass!

- What?

What?

I just think we have to...

- So I'm the bad guy now.

I'm the bad guy

for running this and

trying to make

our business work.

Is that it?

-That's fine.

- Do you see all of this sh*t?

Nobody gave this to me.

This was all me.

I'm not some

f*cking bum, Douglass.

You know,

I'm starting to think you must

have been a spoiled brat.

What did Mommy

and Daddy not get you

the new Nintendo

when you were a kid?

You may not want to

amount to anything in life,

but I have

seen where that gets you

and I'm not doing that.

I'm not gonna live

my whole f*cking life

wanting to die the whole time.

And you should be thankful that

you don't have to

worry about that.

You should be thanking

me every f*cking second you can

because I'm making you a star,

and that sh*t lives on.

Yep.

You want to matter?

You want to make

a name for yourself?

You want to feel important?

Well, now you are

and it's because of me.

So f*cking ungrateful.

[Gracie sighs]

- I love you.

I love you.

[upbeat music]

[thunder clapping]

- Dougie?

Dougie is that you?

Oh my God, Dougie what's up?

I thought that was you.

- Hey, Amanda.

- Why are you out

here in the rain?

- I like the rain.

- Listen, Dougie,

um, I'm actually really glad

I ran into you today.

Do not call me that,

Please.

- Right, right.

Sorry, um, Douglass.

Uh, I wanted to

say I feel really bad,

like, awful, really, about the

way things ended between us.

I mean, I wasn't

being fair to you at all.

and, um,

I just,

I was just going through

my own stuff, you know?

- Okay.

- No, it's true, I mean.

I don't know if you could tell,

but, uh, I was

pretty coked out.

- Really?

- Okay, that was unnecessary.

- See ya.

- I hope you're happy.

Now, things are actually better.

- I have everything

I could ever want.

- I'm sure you do.

- There's something I

need to ask you about.

- Yeah?

- You called me a parasite.

What'd you mean by that?

Or was that just

the coke talking?

- Uh...

It was, it was just the coke.

Yeah.

Sorry.

- Yeah.

It's what I thought.

[police siren wailing]

[door bangs]

[static noise]

[background TV noise]

- Oh, I forgot to

tell you, I got those

new lights that I

was telling you about.

- Nice.

It's awesome.

- Still on for dinner tonight?

- Yeah, yeah, of course.

- I'm excited.

- Me too.

We should probably get going.

I think he wants you

there by 10.

- All right.

Sounds good.

I'm just gonna go

get ready real quick.

Kiss?

[background TV noise]

[tap water running]

[door knocks]

- Hi.

- Uh, I just wanted to check in,

make sure you're doing okay.

- Yep.

I'm good.

- I saw a cat today

that kinda looked like you.

Well, it was more

the way I walked, but...

It was cute.

We should get a cat.

- You know you actually

have to go to dinner tonight.

It's not something

you can just bail on.

- No, I know.

We will, I promise.

[tap water running]

[car engine roaring]

There's a lot of

money in this one.

- That's good.

- Look at this place.

No wonder if this guy's

paying so much.

I wonder how much

his mortgage is.

- Do you think that,

after 30 years

we're still gonna be doing this?

- God, I hope not.

Well, at least not,

you having

to actually do the work.

I figure we'll ride

the Dougie Style high and,

bring in the

money and then eventually...

We'll move on.

Find someone to

take your place and

we'll both handle the

business side of things.

We know how that sh*t works,

We'd be pretty good at it.

- That's gonna be nice.

- Good luck in there.

Last one of the week.

And I love you.

- I love you too.

[intense music]

[door knocks]

Hey.

[water splashing]

[gentle music]

- Just a little

something I can do.

- Wow.

Maybe we should head inside?

- You're a greedy little beaver.

Come on.

I'll make you something to eat.

[gentle music]

[inhales and exhales deeply]

- So, um, what do you wanna do?

We could go to your bedroom,

we could go to the um...

- No, no, no.

I just want to look at you

a little while longer.

That must have come

across so creepy.

I'm so sorry.

It's just...

It's the real Dougie Style.

Right here in front of me.

- Yeah.

Not to be rude,

but I do have someone

waiting outside for me.

So, can you tell

me what you want?

I don't do anything

without a condom.

- Dougie.

May I call you Dougie?

- Sure.

I already talked to your

manager when I was booking you

and I told her

I'd be taking my time.

So really, it's no rush.

- Alright.

I'd still like to know

what we're gonna be doing.

So, is there anything...

- Could you just shut

your pretty little mouth

for a second?

I just want to

talk a little first.

This is a big night for me.

Dougie.

Dougie, is there a celebrity

that you particularly like?

- Celeb... um...

I like Steve Martin.

- Steve Martin, he's fantastic.

Now,

I want you to

imagine that you have

Steve Martin sitting in

front of you right now.

Okay?

And he's ready to f*ck.

Because that's what it's like

for me right now.

I'm about to f*ck Steve Martin.

I hope you like steak.

- Yeah.

Steak's good.

[steak sizzling]

- So tell me about yourself.

What does Dougie Style

like to do in his spare time?

- Not much, honestly.

I'm usually just

with my girlfriend.

- She's your manager too, right?

- Well, I'm not sure if manager

is the right word, but yeah.

- How is that?

- How is what?

- Doing business with your lady.

- Fine.

You know, it's a part

of our relationship.

It has its ups and downs.

- How long has she

been having you do this?

Meeting up with people?

- A couple of months.

It's just a nice way for us

to make some more money.

- And you trust her.

I mean, she is the one

arranging all of these meet ups.

- Yeah, of course I do.

I think that she could

be doing a better job.

- What do you mean by that?

- I imagine pressing

your head hard

against my wall as I f*ck you.

I wish I could just

keep you with me

for days as my own

personal f*ck toy.

You remember that letter?

Hi.

I'm Bill.

Bill Hobbs.

You never responded

to me, Dougie.

And I was incredibly

hurt by that.

Please, eat.

- What is this?

This is a flank steak.

- Yeah, I know this

is a flank steak.

I feel like

there's a specific reason

I'm here right now.

- Yeah, you're right.

But I just want

to talk a little first.

This is a very

special night for me.

- Alright.

What do you want to talk about?

- How about

you ask me a question?

- I'm not exactly sure

what type of question

you'd want me to ask you, so...

- Why don't you start

with where I work?

- Okay, Bill.

Where do you work?

- Thank you for asking.

I work at the L.A Times.

Editor-in-chief.

- Wow.

That's awesome.

- It is awesome, Dougie.

It is, because I have a job

that gives me fulfillment.

I go to work.

I call the shots.

I make a living.

And as you can

see, it's quite a living.

- Listen, Bill, I'm

gonna be honest.

I'm feeling a little

uncomfortable right now.

- Oh no.

How so?

Well, I'm worried

that Gracie's gonna wonder

what's taking me so long.

- Listen, first of all,

nothing's gonna

happen to you

that hasn't already happened.

And second,

do you really think Gracie

cares about what happens to you?

I mean, it's not

really anonymous

if you have their

mailing addresses.

She did make me

promise that I wouldn't mention

who I was, but

where's the fun in that?

- Are you trying to

make me feel bad?

Or are you just trying

to scare me?

Is that all you want to do?

I mean, did you even

wanna have sex?

Or are you literally

just trying to punish me?

- Oh,

Dougie, of course

I wanna have sex.

First, actually,

I'd like a blowjob.

But before any

of that happens,

I need to know that

you know your place.

- What the f*ck is your problem?

- Stop pretending like

you're not gonna do this, okay?

I'm sick of it.

I mean, seriously,

what's the point in pretending?

Just be yourself.

It's incredibly sexy.

- You don't know

anything about me.

- So I don't know

anything about you.

Tell me something.

Why are you with Gracie?

Is it the money that

she can provide?

Is it the men that

she gets you to f*ck?

Or can you just not hold down

a regular f*cking job?

I mean, what is it?

- She loves me.

I love her.

[Bill laughs]

- Oh my God, Dougie.

That's beautiful.

I mean, you're more beautiful

than I could

have ever imagined.

How'd you end up like this?

I mean, what happened to you?

- I'm gonna leave now.

- No, you're not.

Because that's not something

Dougie Style would do.

Okay?

You're gonna go in my room.

And you're going

to wait by my bed.

And then you're going to do

whatever I want you to do.

Because,

you don't want to disappoint

Gracie, do you?

No.

f*ck, I don't even think you're

capable of saying

no to anything.

So get the f*ck up.

Come with me.

You know, I truly think

it's fate that we met.

- You really, mean it?

You think it was fate?

- I do.

I'm gonna go wash up.

[intense music]

You can do

what you want to do

anything you choose

but does it make you happy

at the end of the night.

And wow, who you wanna love?

But do they make

you feel

The feeling of love

At the end of the night?

And have you

ever asked yourself,

how come I'm not

happy when I should be happy

at the end of the night?

Well hey,

it's gonna be okay.

You'll make it

through the day.

We're gonna be alright

at the end of the night.

[Douglass sighs deeply ]

Cause all right, all right,

all right, all right

All right,

all right, all right

At the end of the

night, night, night

[Douglass screams]

We're gonna be

all right, all right

All right, all right,

all right, all right

At the end of

the night, night, night

The night, night, night,

the night, the night

And when

you're needed by a friend

Don't be afraid to lend

A good old helping hand

At the end of the night

And if it's not going

how you thought,

stop thinking

what you thought

and change the way you think.

Go on and give it a try

You can't see up from down,

just take a look around.

There is no up from down

at the end of the night.

Cause alright,

alright, alright,

alright, alright, alright,

alright, alright, alright.

Well I'm so sorry

that I don't know

what to say.

But I'll sit

with you and listen

And share with you your pain

And I cannot see the world

That you see

inside your head

But tonight

I'll try my very best

To be there as a friend

- What's going on?

What happened?

- I'm seventeen.

We're gonna

be alright, alright,

alright, alright,

alright, alright, alright.

Passenger seat now!

Please go!

- Okay!

The night, night, night

The night,

the night, the night

We're gonna be

all right, all right

All right, all right,

all right, all right

At the end of the night,

night, night

The night, night, night

The night,

the night, the night

We're gonna be

all right, all right

All right, all right,

all right, all right

- Hey, where are we going?

Douglass, please tell me.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay, it was wrong

of me to bring you there,

I know

that, and I'm sorry.

The pay, Douglass,

the pay was unlike

anything we've ever seen before.

Just f*cking say

something, God damn it.

What are we

doing here, Douglass?

What are you trying to say?

I need you to know how much

I care about you, Douglass.

Our relationship is complicated.

I know that.

But we're a thing.

And we're meant to be together.

And I don't know

what you did in there, Douglass.

I don't know what you did.

And I don't know

what you're planning to do,

but I hope

that it's not to throw

all of this away

because I need you.

I need you, Douglass.

I love you.

Don't you love me?

Do you know the day

that you f*cked everything up?

Do you know what

day I'm talking about?

It was the day you

decided you were too good

to go f*ck that first man.

Like, that was your limit,

out of all the nasty

and humiliating sh*t

that you've done,

that was it!

And everything was weird

after that because you made it.

You could have just done it

and not made me

feel bad about it.

You chose this.

Nobody forced you to do...

Your f*cking 17?

I bet you're planning

on getting me in trouble now.

Huh?

Is that what you're planning on?

Well, good f*cking

luck with that

because you played a part

in distributing it too,

so I hope you know

what that means.

I'm giving you one last chance.

I'm giving you one last chance.

You get out of the car,

we switch seats, and we go home.

I don't know what

you did in there, Douglass,

but you're a minor,

and we can claim self-defense.

We can claim self-defense,

but I need to know that

you're gonna

work with me on this.

And I need to know

that to everybody else.

I'm just seen as

your older friend.

And that can change

when you're 18.

We don't have a lot longer.

But if you don't work

with me on this, Douglass

If you let me get

out of this car,

I'm not gonna be able to help

you with whatever happens.

And,

more importantly,

we're not ever gonna be able

to be together again.

If we can't get

through this, Douglass,

if you can't,

if you can't work

with me on this,

do you know what

could happen to you and me?

and me.

Do you know what the f*ck

could happen to me?

If you don't

work with me on this,

you could ruin my life.

You could ruin my

entire f*cking life.

Do you even care about that?

No.

You've been thinking about that?

No.

Even after all

of this time,

all of the good times,

all of the laughter,

all of the intimacy...

- This isn't about

what you want.

Just stop.

I'm done, Gracie.

Please, stop.

[gentle music]

[gentle music]

[Gracie screams]
