[elevator whirs]
- It's gonna be a good night, huh?
- Mm-hmm. [laughs]
[elevator whirs]
- Herpes. It's herpes.
- Oh, okay.
- The "social rush".
Very common among people
that socialize a lot.
- Yeah.
- Going to a party tonight?
- Oh. Yeah.
And you? Quiet night at home?
- Wouldn't think so.
- Are you going to a party as well?
- Yes. Yes I am.
- That's nice.
- After you.
Maybe we could combine parties.

The Diamond.
[classical flute music]
[tennis ball bouncing]
- [speaking Spanish] This
is the best day of my life.
- [speaking Spanish]
It's easy to make friends
when you are rich.
[chair creaks]
[man repeats Spanish]
- Nice.
[tennis ball bouncing]
Nice!
- Fuck.
Hey you.
Do you mind getting that?
- Me?
Sure thing.
[peaceful music]
[birds chirping]
- I think he's been here
all morning, just watching.
- Wow. What a creep.
[ethereal voices sing]
[inner voice repeating Spanish]
[groaning]
[mysterious music]
Are you really sure?
- Yes. As I told you, just no more tennis.
Now go home and rest
and I'll write you an
appointment for next week.
- Okay, fine.
Whoa.
Jesus fucking Christ.
He's perfect.
- Douglas, follow me please.
The doctor will be with you in a minute.
Just wait here.
- Perfect. You are perfect.
- Who are you?
- I'm your newly-assigned doctor.
Dr. Stefan.
- Douglas.
- Douglas. I'm going
to be honest with you.
Hospitals are for losers
that are going to die.
Look.
She is going to die today.
- Oh no.
- Wanna get out of here?
[door squeaks]
Come on.
- I'm really scared of confined spaces.
It's just, it's just my claustrophobia.
- That's why we need to hurry.
We have a lot of work to do.
Hey, hey.
You can take the stairs.
No big deal.
- So, this is your place?
- Yes. This is the place.
Douglas, I want to ask you something.
- Ask away.
- Nice. It's just, how small
is second confined space?
- It depends, I guess.
- Hmm. I'm gonna try something.
Close your eyes.
- What?
- Okay, open your eyes.
- Ah!
Ah!
- Okay. Interesting.
- Ah! Ah! Ah!
Let's try something else.
- Open your eyes.
[Douglas yelling]
[yelling stops]
[heavy breathing]
[Douglas yelling]
Open your eyes.
[Douglas yelling]
- I'm a lost cause.
I think I'm gonna go home now.
- Douglas, you know
people like you and me,
we are not quitters.
- I'm sorry.
I don't think I can do this.
- Do you know that in China, the word
for crisis is the same as
the word for opportunity?
Look.
- Wow. That's nice.
- And I have the same tattoo
too, but it's infected.
- That's nice.
- What do we say?
You wanna try one more thing?
- Okay, let's try one last thing.
[ethereal voices sing]
[hawk cries]
- We are here.
This is the final test.
[mysterious music starts]
- What? No, I don't want to.
I wanna go home.
- Come on. You can do this.
- I can't.
- Sure you do.
Remember your training.
[mysterious music continues]
You got this.
- No.
- You can do this.
There you go.
- No!
I can't.
- You are doing fine.
- Stop it.
Stop.
Stop!
- [Stefan] It's just God damn hole.
- I want to get out!
No!
Stop it!
Stop!
- Get down the hole.
[birds sing]
- Why, Stefan, did you do this to me?
I don't understand.
- I want the diamond.
- Diamond? What are you talking about?
- There's a diamond in the hole.
- [Douglas] I didn't see anything.
- It's down there somewhere.
- There's nothing there.
- Where is it?
Did you take it?
- Don't you get it?
- It can't be.
- There is no diamond.
- What do you mean?
- There is no diamond.
Goodbye, Stefan.
- There is no diamond.
Our friendship was the diamond.
Douglas, wait.
[thumps on ground]
Ah!
[birds sing]
[ethereal voices sing]
[guitar music starts]
Once more I lost my footing
[singing along]
Once more I tried too hard
I could never love
I've got too much love
[singing along]
I'm a dreamer
How does people know the answers
How does birds know how to fly
He didn't realize, I didn't realize
How does a person realize
[singing along]
That you don't know
What you got
Until it is forever gone
I didn't realize, I didn't realize
I just didn't realize
