Girl in a Towel (2025) Movie Script

[tense music playing]
[water running]
[vacuum cleaner running]
Hey, babe. It's me again.
Uh... sorry for all the messages.
Just calling to invite you over,
for dinner at my place.
Yes, I'm going to cook for you
if you will come over.
Um... I know you don't like it here because
you say it's messy and dirty and filthy.
But I'm doing all the things
finally, that you wanted me to do.
So... uh... yeah.
You got no reason not to come over.
I'm cleaning. I'm dusting
right now as we speak.
So... uh... okay. Hope to see you soon.
I love you. Goodbye.
Alright.
[washing machine spinning]
[washing machine stops]
[airplane taking off]
[footsteps approaching]
Ah!
What the fuck?
Are you serious?
Ah! Son of a bitch.
I thought they fixed it!
Fucking shit!
Fuck!
Fuck.
Fuck!
Ugh!
Fuck.
[footsteps, heavy breathing]
[traffic, airplane noises]
Oh my God.
Hey, Kurt. Just calling to ask
if you have a dryer I can use.
I don't even know if you
have laundry at your place.
But, uh... give me a call back.
I hope you can help me out.
I have no clothes right now.
All my clothes are sopping wet,
cuz the washing machine at my place,
the thing where it spins doesn't work.
And, uh... the dryer's broken too.
So, uh... trying to get
back together with Valerie.
I think I need clothes for that.
Otherwise she'll get the wrong
idea. I'm just in a bathrobe right now.
And, uh
uh, yeah, I know...
I know you don't like her, but I do.
So, hopefully you can help
me out. I'd do the same for you.
Alright, give me a call back.
Talk to you later. Bye.
Alright.
[wind blowing, water dripping]
[airplane taking off]
Alright.
Hey, Alex. I know you're
purposely ignoring my calls.
But guess what.
You owe me big time,
and... uh... I need a favor.
I just need to borrow your dryer
and then we'll be square. I promise.
Alright. So yeah, just give me a
call back and we'll figure out a ti...
[banging on door, woman shouting]
Alright. Just call me back.
Steph!
[wind blowing]
Steph!
Hey, she's not here.
She went to Victorville to see her mom.
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
Alright. Um...
Everything alright?
Uh... no. Not really. I just...
I just locked out of my
apartment in my fucking towel.
That sucks.
Yeah. Um...
I'm sorry. Is there any way
that I can come into yours?
[sighs]
I'm sorry.
Yeah. Come on in. Just for a little bit.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
Alright.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you so much. Oh my God.
- You're welcome.
- Elliptical.
- Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Cool.
I'm so sorry.
That's okay.
- I'm so embarrassed. This is so weird.
- Uh
what happened?
Uh... I'm a dumb-ass.
I thought that the DoorDash was here
and I went to go check.
It wasn't.
And I turned around and the
door was locked behind me.
Oh, yeah. This thing.
Yep. Uh... super finicky, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
- Yeah, just...
- Yeah, see. Yeah.
Yeah, same thing happened to me one time.
Oh, okay. Right.
Yeah. Uh...
Did you by chance leave a window open?
- No. No, I checked. But, um... yeah.
- Oh, you're screwed then.
- Do you live in the building?
- Yeah.
- Really?
- Yeah. Uh... just moved in.
- Oh! Apartment five.
- Yes.
Okay, cool. I didn't realize
they rented out the unit yet.
- Yeah, yeah. I just moved in. Thank you.
- Well welcome.
- I'm Greg, number three.
- Oh, okay. Uh... Anna.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah, nice to meet you too.
- Cool cool cool. Welcome.
- Thank you, and I'm so sorry.
Yeah, that sucks. I, uh...
- I'm also without clothes today. So...
- Oh!
Yeah. Dryer's broken.
So you should know that.
- Shit. That sucks.
- Um... yeah.
Uh... otherwise I would
happily lend you something.
But uh... yeah, I got
nothing to give you, literally.
- It's all good.
- But, uh...
Yeah, I sympathize with
your situation. I do. Uh...
But I got a situation of my own.
And that is that my girlfriend, Valerie...
- Valerie. Yeah.
- Cute.
Yeah, she, um... she's mad at me right now.
- Okay.
- Yeah. Um...
It's okay, though. Because
we're gonna make up.
She's, uh... gonna come over.
I'm gonna make her dinner.
- Oh, neat.
- And, uh... yeah.
And, um... also she's gonna see
that I'm finally doing all the things
that she got mad at me for not doing.
Um... so it's good. She's gonna love it.
But I don't know when she's gonna get here,
and obviously I can't have you here
looking like this once she gets here...
- Of course.
- Cuz I don't think that'd be a good look.
Of course.
So, uh... you can hang out for a
little bit. You can use my phone.
Uh... I don't know if you
need to make some calls,
- or if there's anyone...
- Sounds good. Yeah.
[cell phone ringing]
Alright. Um...
My buddy's calling me.
- Actually, I gotta take this.
- Sure. Thanks.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay, great.
But, uh... yeah, just hang
tight. Um... don't rob me!
Mmm.
Hey, Kurt.
What would I take?
Thanks for calling back.
Oh, you don't? No worries.
I can't go to a laundromat.
Are you serious? I'm in a robe.
I'd be arrested.
Hey, how about this:
You wanna come take my
clothes to a laundromat for me?
I didn't think so.
I know he should, but he's
not answering his phone.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. I
got bigger problems right now.
Uh... listen to this. You'll like this.
So my neighbor
uh...new girl in number five, uh
got locked out of her
apartment in a towel.
And she is here now in my apartment.
Yeah. Yep.
Yeah, she's hot, but I'm not
gonna do anything about it.
I'm trying to get back with Valerie.
Anyway, I don't know if this is
some kinda weird test from Valerie.
Cuz... I mean...
I don't need to ask you this, but
has this ever happened to you?
It's not a normal thing. It
never happened to me before.
I don't think it's a normal thing.
It sounds like something
out of a dumb movie. So...
Wait a second.
Is she a prostitute?
Did you hire her for me to help me get
over Valerie cuz you don't like Valerie?
I know... I, I, I... I
love Valerie. And, uh...
You promise? Alright.
Cool.
Alright. Anyway...
I, I, I... I already called
Valerie to come over,
so I'm worried that, uh... she's gonna come
over and this girl's still gonna be here.
So I gotta figure out
how to get rid of her.
You wanna take her off my hands for me?
Alright.
Well, like... I'll let
you know how it goes.
Alright. Have fun.
Alright. See you. Bye.
[sighs]
Alright.
[water boiling]
[kettle clicks off]
Alright.
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Yep. It's hot.
Mm-hmm.
How long have you been living here?
Like... almost eleven years.
- Damn.
- Yeah.
How are you liking the building?
Uh... I don't. I don't really.
It's... it's pretty,
like... dingy and not
not well-kept. So...
Whatever.
Oh. Let me ask you something.
Mm-hmm?
You're a female, right?
Mm-hmm.
I could, uh... use your
opinion on something. Uh...
Yeah. So tell me what you think about this.
Should I have let my current girlfriend
get rid of all the clothes that
my ex-girlfriend had bought for me?
For what?
What do you mean? For what?
Just, like, she didn't want me
owning anything that
another woman had picked out.
That sounds stupid.
I mean, they were proper clothes?
Yeah. They were comfortable
and they fit really well.
That's just dumb.
Thank you. Yeah. That's what I thought.
Uh... you should tell her
that when you meet her.
Which you're not going to because you're
gonna be gone by the time she gets here.
Right?
- Yes.
- Alright.
- Yes, I will.
- Good.
So... you got a plan?
Uh...
No. No, I'm sorry. I don't really know...
Do you maybe have like a
spare key to Steph's somehow?
No. Um...
Do you know her phone number?
No. It's in my phone.
Do you have your phone?
No.
Um... it's fine. I'll, uh... mmm...
Don't know if he'll answer,
but I'm gonna call Richard.
Richard? Who's Richard?
- The landlord.
- Right.
Um... please don't. He
already doesn't like me.
Really? That old perv?
- I bet he loves you.
- Exactly.
- Okay. Yeah.
- No.
No. We didn't really
get off on the right foot.
I mean, if I tell him about... it's
about you, he'll probably come running.
Please don't do that. I don't
wanna make things worse.
I gotta get you outta here. Sorry.
I know. Um...
You know, I'm...
Richard is a dick.
[both laugh]
For real.
He is a dick, but he's got a key.
Right.
Um...
[nature sounds]
[calming music playing]
[car lock clicks, beeps]
[car door opens]
[car door shuts]
[car engine starts]
[relationship podcast
playing on car stereo]
[seat belt clicks]
[faucet running]
[coffee brewing]
Is this you on the wall?
Uh...
One of 'em is. Yeah.
That's me.
Do you have a twin?
I used to. He died.
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
He's, uh...
He's in heaven now. So
doing better than you or me.
You believe in all that stuff?
I do, yeah. Do you not?
I think I want to.
But there's so much hate and terrible
shit in the world, so it's hard to.
Yeah, I don't know, I
think all that stuff is, uh
maybe just God testing us or something.
I don't know.
I know I'm not smarter than God.
Yeah, me neither.
Um...
I'm gonna call Richard.
No, please don't call Richard.
He hates me.
Like, it's not gonna be good for me.
Um... please don't
call him. It's... it's not...
He doesn't wanna hear about me, trust me.
Okay. I could call a locksmith?
Okay. Yeah, maybe.
And I can get into
Steph's apartment, and
uh, grab my key.
Or you can get into your apartment?
Right, of course. Um...
Aren't those really expensive though?
Probably.
I... I don't have money
for that right now, man.
Whatever. This is
stupid. I'm calling Richard.
No! Please don't call Richard!
He doesn't wanna hear about me.
It's this whole security deposit situation.
Alright. I'm... I... I'm just gonna
call him to tell him about the dryer.
That's it. I won't mention you.
I just gotta tell him about
the dryer. Cuz it's broken.
- You won't mention me?
- No.
- You promise?
- Promise.
Fine.
Voicemail. Big surprise.
Hey, Richard. It's Greg in number three,
your tenant who pays rent every month.
Uh... just calling to let you know that
the dryer's broken again. And the washer.
Um... so you need to fix those because
that's supposed to be included in my rent
and I need to use them.
So go ahead and do that.
Or instead, if you want, you can, uh
pay me back all the money that I paid
you in rent, uh...over the last decade.
So, your choice.
Uh... also the new
girl in number five is...
No no no no no!
You promised!
- Just trying to help.
- You just broke your promise.
- I'm just trying to help you out.
- I don't wanna get evicted.
- You're not gonna get evicted.
- You don't know that.
No, he... at most he's probably
gonna come unlock it for you
and then he's just gonna
want a really long hug.
- That's all.
- Ha ha.
Is this yours?
Yeah.
Wow.
It all kinda makes sense now.
What?
Why your girlfriend threw
all your clothes away.
What, it's a cool hat, right?
Uh-uh.
Uh-uh!
Check it out.
Especially when you wear it that way.
- No?
- No!
What, do you wear it like this?
No. No, bro. No.
Uh-uh.
- Alright.
- Well, look...
This is my hat. This is what
I like to wear. And, uh
I was kind enough to let you in my home
and you're just giving me unsolicited
advice on my fashion sense now.
I have... I mean...
That's pretty nice, I guess. But, uh...
Please. You broke your promise!
- Whatever. I was just trying to help.
- You... you can take my tips or not.
Do you want some of my tips?
What tips? Fashion tips?
Sure, and... amongst others.
I mean, I am a woman.
I can maybe help you...
Yeah?
with your situation.
Sure.
Okay, well...
Whatchu got?
For starters, the hat's gotta go
perhaps a new wardrobe.
And, um...
Alright. You... you have,
like, a little bit of a
of a neck beard situation going on.
Were you considering, like,
shaving that before she came over?
Should I?
Yeah! Yeah. Yeah.
Okay. I can do that.
Okay. Cool.
And, like, uh... what
were you gonna cook her?
Spaghetti.
Okay. Yeah, that's hard to mess up.
I know. Yeah, you just
just flick it at the wall,
and if it sticks you know it's done.
Ah, hell no.
- What? That's how you...
- That's not how you cook spaghetti.
That's how you cook spaghetti!
That's not how you cook spaghetti!
[relationship podcast
playing on car stereo]
[water boiling]
[sighs]
Yep. So you just wanna boil it
for like eleven to thirteen minutes.
Really whatever the package says, and
then it'll be perfectly al dente.
And, uh
al dente is good. Right?
Yeah, absolutely.
Al dente is what you want.
Mm-hmm.
So... I looked it up.
According to Google, it says:
"No, spaghetti does not
need to stick to a wall"
"to be considered cooked properly."
"The wall test is a myth..."
Thank you.
"and overcooked pasta
is more likely to stick..."
"than perfectly cooked al dente pasta."
- There you go. There you go.
- Alright. Cool.
Yeah, so... I stand corrected.
"According to cooking websites." So...
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.
- Alright.
Reliable.
Cool, cool.
Yeah.
Alright.
So when do we pour the sauce in?
Well, we have to drain it first.
Don't you wanna leave the water
in there so it's nice and saucy?
Nah, nah.
You wanna save some pasta water,
but you don't want to dump the
the sauce in here. That'll just be
it'll just be broth
- at that point.
- Okay.
- Tomato broth.
- Got it.
Yeah. So, once this is done we'll drain it,
save some pasta water,
and then... then we can pour the sauce in.
Cool. Well, thanks for helping.
I'm sure she's gonna love it.
I'm gonna tell her I cooked it, so...
Please. No, please.
Otherwise it would be so weird.
Yeah.
- I know.
- Um... yeah.
Has she gotten back to you yet, by the way?
She hasn't. But, uh
she also hasn't stopped
sharing her location, so...
- Okay.
- That's a good sign. Right?
Yeah, that... that's a great sign, yeah.
Okay. Where has she...
- Where... where is she right now?
- She's just been home all day.
Um... let's see. She's...
"Locating..."
Oh, fuck! You have to hide. She's here.
- What?
- She's here.
- You have to go in the other room.
- She's here right now?
- Go in the...
- Bro, chill out!
- Ah! I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry!
- You ripped my fucking towel off!
- Don't look!
- It's okay. I'm not looking.
- Go, go, go! I didn't see anything.
- Oh my God! I'm going! I'm going!
Go, hide!
- Hey!
- Hi.
You made it. Thanks for coming.
Um... I'm not ready yet.
Um... but I... I'm cleaning my
apartment really well, as you can see.
I'm gonna... I am gonna cook for you.
- So... it, uh...
- Mmm.
- It's a work in progress, but...
- Greg
it's getting there, so can you
come back in like an hour or two?
Greg, I'm not...
One second.
You look really nice, by the way.
Hmm. Thank you.
Oh, no.
I'm not ready to break up.
Yes.
Look, I'm doing all the
things you asked me to do.
Look how fucking clean it is in here.
Alright? You wanted it clean, it's clean.
I mean
- it will be in two hours.
- Do I have to...
- In two hours?
- Yeah.
- Never now. Always later.
- Well... look!
Uh...
It... what, uh... what,
it's gonna be clean?
No, it takes time! But I'm doing it!
- I'm doing it! I vacuumed!
- I'm tired of having...
You wanted me to vacuum, I vacuumed!
You wanted me to do
the dishes, I did the dishes!
But you should want to do it
yourself, not wait for me to tell you!
I do want to, for you! I
realized I wanted to do it for you!
I realize that! I know that!
You don't have to do it for
me, you have to do it for you.
I did it for us!
You're... you don't understand.
You're so... you're so immature.
Okay. Here. Sorry.
I'm tired of carrying your shit.
I'm tired of being the mature
one when you're older than me.
And...
I've been thinking. I...
I had so much time to think. Just
yeah, you called me, but
you took your time.
So...
[airplane taking off]
I'm just tired of waiting
for crumbs. And, um...
I deserve better.
Um... I know you're upset. Uh... uh...
Here's the thing...
I'll finish cleaning.
I'll call you later, okay?
And then we'll talk about this. How's that?
[sighs]
Yeah? I'll call you later?
Um... um... I'm, just gonna leave, okay?
- Alright, I'll call you later.
- No, don't call me. Please.
If you... if you ever
loved me, don't call me.
Have a great life.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
You can come out now.
Hey, man.
I'm so sorry, dude.
Yeah.
Uh... you think there's anything I, uh
could a done or said differently
that would a made her wanna stay?
Um...
No.
I'm sorry.
Seemed like she had
her mind pretty made up.
Yeah.
You don't think my
apartment's that messy, do you?
Um...
You know, it...
It's... it's a really old building,
you've got some cobwebs and stuff.
I could see how she...
Well that's not my fault. Richard never
comes cleans up my cobwebs for me.
Richard's a dick.
Mmm.
I'm really sorry.
Thanks.
What kinda music do you like?
Um...
Indie, folksy, rock stuff.
Some hip-hop, I suppose.
You?
Everything but country.
Mmm.
[nature sounds, calming music]
[cell phone button clicks]
[sighs]
[sighs]
Got any advice?
Hey, I'll be right back.
Okay.
[airplane taking off]
[footsteps approaching]
[wind blowing]
Son of a bitch.
[footsteps approaching]
[sighs]
Son of a bitch.
[airplane taking off]
[wind blowing]
Oh, hey. Do you live here?
I do. Why?
I... I'm thinking about
moving to the unit upstairs.
- Number five?
- Yeah.
Oh no, I think they
rented that out already.
No, I was just out there. It's available.
Really?
Yeah.
Interesting.
So how do you like living here?
Uh... it's alright.
Uh... pretty old building, so
stuff's breaking all the time.
Washer and dryer don't work right
now. They're always fixing something.
And, uh... you're right by the
airport, so gotta deal with, uh
the noise from that,
but you get used to it.
And no A/C, but it is what it is.
Rent's pretty cheap for the area,
so that's what's good about it.
Okay. Cool. Well...
I... I appreciate the honesty, man.
Oh yeah.
- Good luck!
- Thanks.
Yep.
Huh.
Interesting.
Hey.
Hey!
What's up?
Who are you? Why did you lie to me?
I... I didn't.
My... my name is...
- Yeah, you did!
- My name is Anna.
You don't live in apartment five!
I was just over there! Nobody lives there!
Okay! I'm sorry!
But I really am Steph's friend!
And my name really is Anna!
- What are you doing here?
- I'm... I'm sor...
I'll show you. I'll show you who I am.
Why are you in my apartment?
Here, can you open...
Can... can you open your phone?
I'm...
Okay. See?
Okay, see? That's me.
Okay.
Anna.
Yeah?
And, um...
Um...
Okay, and this is my boyfriend.
We live together.
And, uh...
[video playing on cell phone]
Oh my God!
He posted the fucking video!
Oh, my God! What the fuck?
That's... that's... that's why I'm here!
That's why I'm fucking here!
What is this?
That's me, in the towel, walking
down the street as he films me.
Okay, so
that's my asshole of a boyfriend.
He...
Earlier he, um
found some messages,
and he got insanely jealous.
And they were just normal messages.
But as punishment, he
forced me in a towel and he
forced me to walk
outside while filming me.
And I didn't realize that he was
gonna fucking post it, but he did.
And then he tried to snatch the
fucking towel off of me and I ran!
And I ran, and I came to Steph's, and
she wasn't home, and
that's when you found me.
So...
I'm sorry.
It's okay. I'm, uh...
Sorry for yelling. I, uh...
I didn't realize that
that's what was going on.
I believe you.
Um
yeah.
That sucks.
Uh...
You okay?
I just can't go back home. So, I just...
I just don't wanna go back home yet.
I don't know what
is waiting for me there
if he even gives a shit.
Um...
I'm, sorry. I...
I don't really know what to say, but, uh
you can...
You can hang out here for a little while.
Um... Valerie's not coming back, so...
- I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
Guess... guess, uh... we're both fucked.
Yeah.
Men suck sometimes, huh?
Sorry about that.
You okay?
No, not really.
Yeah.
Well thanks.
[calming music, nature sounds]
You're right. It's way better this way.
Mm-hmm.
I think she would a liked it.
She would a loved it. She would've.
Mm...
How old is your boyfriend?
Um... twenty-four.
- That's young.
- Yeah.
Some... some people aren't, uh
ready to be in adult relationships.
I'm, um...
I'm very mature.
No, I'm, uh...
I'm more mature than I used to be, but
not as mature as
I'm...I'm going to be. So...
I'm working on it.
Yeah, that's a good perspective.
Thank you.
Um...
Yeah.
He hated my hair.
Really?
Yeah.
I wanted to do something for me, you
know? Something empowering, and...
Nah!
He, um
said it's not what a woman
is supposed to look like.
So he's been, like... bullying
me and giving me shit about it.
I think it looks really good.
Thanks! Cost a lot, so...
You're welcome.
I would hope so.
How old are you?
How old do you think I am?
Mmm...
I don't know, in your
thirties or something?
Thirty-six.
Rad.
You don't think I look younger though?
Most people think I look younger.
I mean, you have like a younger vibe.
But
you told me you're
thirty-six, you're thirty-six.
Fair enough.
I, uh... I won't ask you how old you are.
It's not polite.
- Right, I'm a lady.
- Yeah.
You eat messy. Like... really messy.
Sorry about that. Spaghetti's hard though.
I mean... no. Not really.
Yeah, cuz the noodles are so long, how
are you supposed to get 'em in your mouth?
I mean, you can just, like
make the bites more concise.
Well... um
that's some nice words that you
just said, but how do you do that?
You stick the fork in,
and then you do a little spinny action.
I've heard of that before.
Mm-hmm.
It's better when the noodles are longer.
And then
yeah!
Oh, see! You had to
slurp up the noodle too.
No.
- I didn't slurp.
- You... you eat the same as me.
I didn't slurp. That's the difference.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, see, then you get the
sauce, and it wiggles everywhere.
I don't know how to do it without slurping.
[cell phone ringing]
I'mma get that.
Mm.
Look who called.
[laughing]
What a dick.
Sent him to voicemail.
Mm-hmm.
See how he likes it.
What are you gonna tell him?
Tell him to fix the fucking dryer.
Yeah.
Yeah, for real!
[sighs]
Valerie stopped sharing
her location with me.
Ah, damn!
I'm sorry to hear that.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Well...
I think you should give her her space,
and respect what she wants, honestly.
I do.
And clearly you can
learn from this, you know?
You are obviously capable
of effort and change, and...
Thank you. Yeah. I'mma...

Cool, thanks. Thanks for saying that.
Yeah.
You're a nice guy, so...

Ooh, nice. That is what I like to see.
Um... right.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
- If won the lottery?
- Yeah.
Jeesh.
What wouldn't I do?
I don't know. I'd probably buy...
Like... to make a smart choice I'd
probably buy like a bunch of real estate,
and then hire somebody to
do it for me, so that it's smart.
Um... and...
Yeah, but like... with the
rest of it. Cuz that's boring.
Yeah. Sure, sure. Um...
Like if you won four hundred...
You're not gonna spend four hundred
million or whatever it is on real estate.
No.
Um... I would
take care of my family.
Probably, like... buy a farm.
Nice.
- Have some of them live with me.
- Cool.
Buy a shit ton of animals.
Uh... garden all my food.
I don't know, just... go on vacation.
Travel with my family, probably.
- Cool.
- Yeah.
Where would you go?
Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Nice!
Take all of them with me.
Nieces, nephews
grandma, grandpa.
Yeah?
Yeah, I think that they would love that.
Y'all pretty close?
- Oh, yeah, we're very close.
- Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're my everything. So...
What would you do?
Um...
I'd travel, for sure. Yeah.
- I'd go to Australia.
- Oh, yeah. Sick!
- I wanna go there. I've never been.
- South Africa's a big one from me too.
- Okay, cool. Nice. Yeah.
- Yeah.
Where else?
Um...
Australia and...
Uh...
I'd do Europe.
- Uh...
- Yeah.
Do all of Europe. Yeah, I'd do
Eastern Europe, cuz I never been.
- Yeah, me neither.
- Um... yeah.
So I can only replace one that's
already... that's flipped over?
- Or... no, I can replace this?
- You can replace any other one. Yeah.
- Okay, good. That's right. Aright. Cool.
- Yeah, that's tight. That's a good choice.
Thanks for that.
Oh, but I shouldn't have done that,
cuz I shoulda been watching that.
But I can do this now, right?
That's true.
Yeah. Cool.
You know, Steph actually told me about you.
She said that you were a nice guy.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
So
I felt, uh...I felt alright about
comin' in here today. And, um
well, she was right.
You helped me out a lot. So...
Good.
She said you helped her move in, um
that obnoxious orange
couch that she has in there.
- Uh-huh! I hurt my back. Yeah.
- Yeah.
Oh, you did?
- Ah, dang!
- Yeah.
Oh, that's a perfect score!
I know.
Oh! I got close.
You got... three points?
I got three points.
Yeah, well... yeah, not good enough.
Not good enough, bro. Yes.
It's... it's a good round. Good round.
Cool.
Again?
Yeah. Let's do it.
Alright.
You can go ahead and shuffle 'em this time.
Well I'll shuffle good this time.
Game goes by a lot quicker.
Yeah, so is she a good... is she
a good neighbor to have? She's...
Yeah, um
she's okay. She's, uh...
Well, no. She's good. I like her.
She's kinda loud sometimes, but...
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.
Sometimes we be
blasting music over there.
Yeah?
- Yeah. Having game nights.
- Yeah.
- Playing golf.
- Yeah?
I mean, she's good people.
Yeah. I like her. I don't... I
don't really know her too well.
Right, right.
I just, uh... yeah, I just
saw her the other day.
She told... mentioned she was going to
going to go see her mom.
Mm-hmm.
Did I give you six?
Cool.
And where are you from originally?
Northern California
originally, but I, uh...
Sacramento area?
Uh... yeah. I was actually
born in Sacramento.
Oh, wow.
Yeah. But, uh... only lived
there as a kid. Then we
we moved around a lot
just cuz of my dad's job.
So... I go first, cuz I won. Is that right?
- Please.
- Cool. Alright.
Um...
I've never actually been to Sacramento.
I've been to San Francisco...
Don't go!
plenty of times. Really, yeah?
- Yeah.
- No?
It's... it's shit, or what?
Yeah!
It's, uh... really hot in summer, and
there's not much to do there anyway.
- Alright, well...
- Yeah. Don't, uh...
If you win the lottery, go
somewhere else. You know?
Yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna win
the lottery and go to Sacramento.
Right. That would be weird. That
would be a bad choice. Thank you.
Cool.
Did you take a lot of trips to, uh
San Francisco?
Not really. I only lived there
when I was young. So... yeah.
- I've been to San Francisco before.
- Yeah.
They... they have a...
they got a cool bridge.
Yes.
Somewhat... somewhat of a famous bridge.
- Yeah. A little bit.
- Yeah.
It's nice, it's just cold.
- It's really different from...
- Yeah.
Southern California.
Yeah.
I'm gonna get a perfect score again.
Damn.
Where are you from originally?
- From Southern California.
- Okay.
- From San Diego.
- I would a guessed that.
Here's the thing, you never meet
people from Southern California
in Southern California. They're
always from somewhere else, you know?
- Well, in LA.
- That's true. Yeah.
- Yeah, in LA we got a lotta, like...
- Yeah.
people that are from Ohio...
Yep.
- type shit, you know. So...
- Yeah.
Um...
Yeah, but I'm... I'm from
from San Diego.
And I grew up here and... and,
and I feel like I'll
never wanna leave, but...
Your family's still down there?
Uh... yeah, they are.
- Yeah, they are.
- That's cool.
My grandmas are both down there.
I visit them often.
Dang!
Three points.
Going out quick.
Yeah, you're much better at this than I am.
Think I got lucky with the cards.
I have so many points, I don't even know.
I'll do it, I'll tell you how bad you did.
Yeah... seventeen.
Twelve
- plus thirteen.
- Fifteen.
- Fifteen.
- That's fifteen?
- Twenty-five.
- Oh, okay. I see.
Uh... thirty-two.
- Forty-one.
- Yeah.
Fabulous!
Alright, well that's just not gonna
- make it outside of this room.
- Sorry about it.
All good.
[slow jazz music playing]
I just hope you realize that
what he did is definitely not okay,
and you don't have to put up with that.
You shouldn't be with someone like that,
and that's not how
happy people in real loving
relationships treat each other ever.
It's not normal, it's not good. And...
I mean, I... it... it's
your decision to make.
But I think it's obvious that the... the
the first thing you need to
do is leave the guy. And, uh
you know, just remove
him from your life completely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I don't really know how to...
I don't really know how to do that.
Mmm...
You... you could report him.
What he did.
Re... report him to... to the police?
Yeah!
I don't think the police... give a shit.
Don't they like catching bad guys?
I mean...
You got the video as evidence.
I'm sure a lotta people watched that.
Yeah.
Uh... I think that reporting him would
would make things a lot worse for me.
Why's that?
I mean, if he finds out and, um
he doesn't get arrested...
Yeah. That's
that's obviously gonna be on me, and
um...it's not gonna
end...it's not gonna...
He's not gonna be happy.
He's gonna know. He's gonna know it was me.
What if you go, uh... to stay
with your family in San Diego?
Um...
Well since we live together, I think it
would make things really complicated.
Um...
I don't know if I'm ready for,
for that.
To tell my... parents.
I just... I... I...
I don't know too much about
it, but I know there's like
numbers you can call.
Um...
I don't know if this is the right word.
I think I've heard it called like a
battered women's shelter or something.
You ever hear of that?
No.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Um... yeah, it's... it's...
It's your decision. But, uh
you can use my
phone if you want. I, uh...
I think you should give 'em a call, or
call someone. Call them, call the police.
Um...
You don't have to decide now,
but I think you should
definitely think about it, and you
you have to do something for sure.
You can't keep going on like this.
Um...
Yeah, I'll... uh...
I'll leave my phone with you, but, uh...
- Yeah.
- Yeah, think about it.
I'm gonna go brush my teeth.
[door opens]
[door closes]
Hi, yes.
Uh... I'd like to report a crime.
