# TODD TERJE: Ragysh

5
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600
You arrive for
the first time in a city,

6
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,240
you have barely at all slept...
(SIRENS BLARE)

7
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,320
..but the day you arrive, you know.

8
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,600
And not even the annoying
couple on the plane

9
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:07,280
pretending to hate each other
can stop you from thinking,

10
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,640
"America. Fuck, yeah."

11
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,400
You meet people in New York
that you don't meet

12
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,040
anywhere else in the world. I met
her just after my 32nd birthday

13
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,040
at an immersive party experience
on Governors Island

14
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,600
and I remember,
this girl took my phone.

15
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,600
Saved herself as ANNA X,
block caps, nothing else.

16
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:29,560
And in arrivals, you reflect,

17
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:35,120
you're 23 that month. The
airport smells like disinfectant.

18
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,400
You have really bad period pains.

19
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,960
But it's January,

20
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,040
sleet is expected,
everything is perfect

21
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,200
and no-one knows you, except
the cab driver you just met.

22
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,920
And I remember, she said,
"Can I unlock this?"

23
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,240
And went into the bathroom,
took a selfie in the mirror

24
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,000
and, for some reason, I don't
know why, that was attractive.

25
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,280
And driving from JFK
through Queens to Manhattan,

26
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,320
you're thinking of London.

27
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,120
You're thinking of an
Anselm Kiefer opening at White Cube.

28
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,720
You're thinking of a girl you
kissed the night before you left.

29
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,840
You are thinking,
"What am I even doing here?"

30
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,960
The kind of girl you want your
friends to see you standing next to.

31
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,720
And being with her,
it was like grating a bar of soap.

32
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,160
A box clicking shut,
you know, satisfying.

33
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,880
And as the driver talks,
you see the city ahead,

34
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,800
snow falling on a cemetery you've
already forgotten the name of.

35
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,960
And you take your phone
and you caption, lowercase,

36
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,880
"first snow in nyc kissing graves,

37
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
"pavements, overpass, cars."

38
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,200
And truly,
you loved America from the moment

39
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,720
you heard the flight attendant
say, "Welcome to the USA.

40
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,720
"we're so happy to see you."

41
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000
You pull up,
hand the driver a hundred

42
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,720
and tell him, "Keep the change."

43
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,200
And I should say,
I certainly didn't realise

44
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,400
I was going to become a financial
target by my 30s, very much not so.

45
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,000
And just to be clear, I would
not have even been in New York,

46
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,400
never even have met her, had
my 20s not been such a disaster

47
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,960
At your Midtown hotel,
you'll already be disappointed.

48
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,160
You feel chewing gum
on your door handle.

49
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,200
The windows are thick.

50
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,040
New York is silent.

51
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,000
Everyone has a dog.

52
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,480
I mean, I was fleeing the West
Coast after a failed relationship,

53
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,800
floundering career. I was just
trying to correct my life, you know.

54
00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:38,840
You take a shower.
pointlessly. at 2 p.m.

55
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:44,080
You go to Macy's and you buy
a lip balm from Chanel for $42.

56
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,640
And how I made my money
is kind of peripheral to the story

57
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,880
but broadly,
I designed an app, a dating app.

58
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,920
And before you start
work the next day,

59
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,400
you remember your father saying,
"America is for you."

60
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,600
This app, OK,
this app is like a club,

61
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,720
an exclusive club,
where membership had privileges.

62
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,040
"That country is built for you."
With a certain etiquette,

63
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,200
a certain clientele.
"Remember, we are always improving."

64
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Which necessarily
screened applicants.

65
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,320
"Remember, we are maximum people."
It was called Genesis.

66
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,440
And the next day,
you get ready for the first day

67
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,280
of the rest of your life.

68
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,360
The first day of your internship.

69
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,520
You remember
snow drifts on pavements.

70
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,360
Your clothes laid out
from the night before.

71
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,080
Versace dress,
Prada for a purple bag.

72
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,360
But you decide not.
You choose instead

73
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,200
sportswear from Supreme, a rucksack,

74
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,120
a coat that will not keep you warm.
And arriving in Madison Square,

75
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,840
you take the elevator
up to the top floor "loft."

76
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,880
The office is called The Institute.

77
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,920
The cover of the last issue
was a picture of the editor

78
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,720
sucking a woman's toe. And on
the walls are Dash Snow Polaroids,

79
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,680
Tracey Emin light installations,
Jeff Koons miniatures.

80
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,120
All the secretary girl says,
"Gifts to the editor."

81
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
And there are artists,
there are trans people,

82
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,920
there is the whole world

83
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,400
and everyone is queer

84
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,360
and everyone is just feeling...

85
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,280
..something so much.

86
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,440
You say hello. You're told
to work in the mailroom.

87
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,840
You're rude to certain people.

88
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,080
You try to have lunch alone
but people want to know you.

89
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,720
You say, "London is very
ahead in the market."

90
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,600
And when they see your Instagram,
they see your travel

91
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,480
and they say, "You were
at Biennale and Art Basel?"

92
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,120
And you shrug and say you
only went to visit your parents.

93
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,200
They collect a little.

94
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,640
I just moved to Manhattan.

95
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760
The city was lit up
like a Christmas tree.

96
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Everybody wants
to get laid at Christmas.

97
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,240
But success. We were celebrating
a real achievement, Genesis had

98
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,200
headquartered out of California
to get away from the whole SF thing.

99
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,640
So we moved into bounteous
office space in Williamsburg.

100
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,920
The team was growing exponentially.

101
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,440
All we were lacking was investment.
But every day,

102
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,280
thousands were joining
an ever-growing waiting list.

103
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,200
And did I dip my pen
in the company ink?

104
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,120
Sure. When girls found out
who was behind this thing,

105
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,680
they were all over it, yeah.
But, honestly, I was disappointed.

106
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,320
I mean, I've met enough girls
with 80,000 followers,

107
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,000
who are photographers or whatever,
and started looking for more,

108
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,960
for a real connexion.

109
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,040
You hear talk spread about
you through office banks.

110
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,360
You imagine people saying,
"She's not a nice person, though.!

111
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,600
But when the editor pinches
your ribs the next morning,

112
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,920
you know what it is that's coming.

113
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,400
Anna, Anna, Princesse Anna.

114
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,560
You feel his hangover, his lust.
Why you are in the mailroom?

115
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,440
This is a guy known for
sexting during meetings,

116
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,000
who smokes in the office and says

117
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,720
he doesn't give a shit
about style on a man.

118
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,800
He's just published a 500-page
photo diary of his sexual conquests.

119
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,360
We go to press Tuesday,
you should do the proofs with me.

120
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Do you like sushi?

121
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,840
And you "demur" to use a word
you learned that week,

122
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360
say you'll try to arrange
for after work but he persists.

123
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,560
Lunch now. I went to eat.

124
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,400
So walking to 2nd Avenue through
snow and inappropriate footwear...

125
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,400
You must be cold, no?
..you say "nyet" to remind him

126
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,560
who you are and where you're from.

127
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,000
And as you sit down to eat omakase,

128
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,360
your breath still steam
from outdoors, he explains.

129
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,400
New York is not
the best city in the world

130
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,880
but it is the best
city for affordable sushi.

131
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,920
You contradict.

132
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Mm, that's not really true.

133
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,280
And you tell him
about St Petersburg,

134
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,960
about Putin leading Russia
out of the financial crisis

135
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,120
and into the Sushi Years.

136
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,600
And you drink beers with lunch,
talk, he even takes you seriously.

137
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,000
Your knowledge.Alors. Tell me what
you hate about the magazine, Anna.

138
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,880
Well, it used to be arts.
And so?Nothing.

139
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,200
I just liked it more when
it was art.Because why?

140
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,000
What's wrong with it now?
Well, now it's just models, right?

141
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,440
Models who look like
they're about to have sex,

142
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,920
models who look
like they've just had sex.

143
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,560
So you have a problem with sex?
I liked it when it was art.

144
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600
To me, I steered this magazine
to being art and fashion

145
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,920
because they are the same.
Sex can be architectural,

146
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,960
can be a party, can be an artist.

147
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,720
But I take women very seriously.

148
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Take you. I see you.

149
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,800
You want to be a businesswoman.

150
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,240
I am a businesswoman.
Bien sur.Just not in New York.

151
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,000
Why not in New York?
Because New York is five hours

152
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920
and ten years behind London.

153
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,560
And what is wrong with the
New York art scene?It's not new.

154
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,600
It's stuck
Pourquoi?

155
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,360
MoMA opened 100 years ago.
So did the Whitney.

156
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,240
I mean, no-one even remembers
who Gertrude Whitney is.

157
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,720
And so what will you do
tonight and terrible New York?

158
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,040
Pourquoi?Because I want to take
you to the Prada fashion week party.

159
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:14,280
Sure, I could go.

160
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800
And you try to flirt with this man
who wants to sleep with you.

161
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,360
But this new pill you are on,
it blocks your desire.

162
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,200
But later on, outside your hotel,
unlit cabs passing on 34th,

163
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,840
you take your phone.
You filter, square

164
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,880
and wait a hundred hearts.

165
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,520
And tagging the editor,
you make your move.

166
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,120
in New York, I was broadly alone.

167
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,360
But fewer distractions
meant for more work.

168
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,760
And it paid off.
A few weeks after moving,

169
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960
we got the call up from
the Grigorian Brothers.

170
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,680
Now these guys were just the fucking
tits. I met one of them at MIT.

171
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,200
Now he'd gone on to form
a Venture Capital firm,

172
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,120
extremely dynamic, already
with a heap of capital behind it.

173
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,680
And this guy, this guy wants
to meet at the Havana Room Club.

174
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,680
Incredible joint. At, not kidding
you, seven in the morning.

175
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,840
Eight a.m. starts are for
pussies and the public sector.

176
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
How are you, man?
Jed, hey.

177
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,480
And at this point, I can assure you,
the pitch deck, a thing of beauty.

178
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Don't you just love the smell
of iced coffee in the morning?

179
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,920
Like a professional bump of cocaine?

180
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Savour it.
Mm! The fruit of the gods.

181
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Right. Let's cut to the crap, Ariel.

182
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,760
Are you a unicorn or aren't ya?

183
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,160
Well, I don't know about that.
Come on, give me the founder's myth.

184
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Give me the juice.
Give me the naked ape.

185
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,080
The what?
Investment psychobabble.Right.

186
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,680
Look. Proceed. Tell me,
how do you package this?

187
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,480
I mean, what e-fucking-ssentially
is exclusivity?

188
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,280
OK. Listen, let me take
your second question first.

189
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,880
B, exclusivity sells.

190
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,200
We know this. We crave elitism.
We all want to be unique.

191
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,600
But winning is also about losers.
Soho House, Yale Club, Berghain.

192
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,880
I mean, if these days lunatic
asylums had a waiting list,

193
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,640
there'd be folks lining up around
the block to put their names down.

194
00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:04,000
What's your acceptance rate?
Six percent.

195
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,200
Slightly harder nut
to crack than Harvard.

196
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:11,120
And A, our origin myth.
I got this idea from a break-up.

197
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,640
And. hey, I tried stuff first.
You know, do yoga,

198
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,080
try therapy, veganism,
ten-day no-speaking retreats. No.

199
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,240
What I needed was a connection
with a like-minded individual.

200
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,480
And what Genesis does is solve a big
problem for a small number of people

201
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520
and it gives them a great service.

202
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:28,440
It's like what Andy Warhol
used to say about Studio 54.

203
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,200
We're a dictatorship at the door,
democracy on the floor.

204
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,840
So, a safe space for celebrities
and creatives to fuck.

205
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,280
Exactly. But to your point, what
we're selling here is aspiration.

206
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,680
You, me, we worked
to get to the top table. Hard.

207
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,240
But the internet
has democratised overly.

208
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,160
But you know what?
People love hierarchy.

209
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,400
It infuriates them but it makes
them horny. It's gold dust.

210
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Let me think on it.
That thinking took all of 12 hours.

211
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,240
50 mill for a 25-percent
controlling share of the business.

212
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,120
Non-negotiable.
Valuing the business at...

213
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,800
200 million. Not bad, man.

214
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,160
Man, I put a down payment
on a Brooklyn apartment

215
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,200
with a fucking swing in the bedroom.

216
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,960
And what was it
these guys are investing in?

217
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,840
Nothing. No proof of concept,
an idea, an understanding

218
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,200
of how craven human nature is.

219
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,120
And shakhmaty,
the editor likes your post.

220
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,840
And as your cab pulls up
outside New York's newest,

221
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,120
most expensive skyscraper,
he meets you in the lobby.

222
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,880
La Principessa Anna.
New York's saviour.

223
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,600
And in the mirrored elevator going
up, he takes selfie after selfie

224
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,320
of you together. And arriving,
he points out the view

225
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,280
For that, the building
is not expensive enough.

226
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,320
Points out Rihanna.

227
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Christian Louboutin, Tom Ford.

228
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Says he will make introductions.

229
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,840
And you see girls
coming out of cubicles,

230
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,920
putting their cocaine back between
their phones and their cases.

231
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,880
These beautiful, accepted people.

232
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,960
You see car lights
reflected in skyscrapers

233
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,640
and you feel like this,
all of this, is for you.

234
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Like it was choreographed
to happen this way.

235
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,440
And back at the table,

236
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,240
the editor is praising
your taste, your vision.

237
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,280
This girl, this woman, is bound
to be the city's great new curator.

238
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,480
He's already told them
your family history,

239
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,560
your plans for New York's art scene.

240
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,600
She has the critical eye
for collecting.

241
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,400
And posted a picture of you on
his Instagram to 500,000 people.

242
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,920
She will be profiled
in next month's magazine.

243
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,960
You give him the concept,
he fills in the rest.

244
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,240
And later,
drunk in a cab across the city...

245
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,160
Yellow cab only. Never Uber.
..he tells the driver.

246
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,400
Stop the car here.
Why? What are we doing?

247
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,840
Because this building,
this place, is special.

248
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,600
Then why are you peeing on it?

249
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,480
You are right, Anna.
This city's scene needs... air.

250
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,640
A friend was once
going to buy this buildings,

251
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680
make it in his image.

252
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,760
It's nice.

253
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:19,160
And at that moment,
you know what it is you will do.

254
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,640
But now, pissing in snow,
drunk from champagne cocktails,

255
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:30,320
he tells the city...Mesdames
and Messieurs...BOTH: Anna,

256
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,800
She's going to be a very
different kind of star.

257
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,600
Genesis was live. Thriving.
Obviously, we had to celebrate.

258
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,080
It was Thanksgiving that weekend
and fuck were we going home.

259
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,200
The whole company got tickets to
an immersive nightlife experience

260
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,760
on Governors Island
overlooking the city.

261
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,400
So we're waiting in line
to get on this ferry, OK?

262
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,000
And one of the girls from design
put something in my mouth.

263
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,480
Now, let me tell you
my philosophy on that.

264
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,520
Broadly, I think the trick
is to finish drugs

265
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:03,200
by your own bachelor party. Failing
that, maybe your 31st, 32nd year.

266
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,360
So, like, a guy in his 30s,
he should have completed drugs.

267
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,400
But anyway, we're drinking
Jameson from the bottle.

268
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,040
The mood is lit and then I feel it,

269
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,440
that we're on a boat together

270
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,480
and it hits me that I love these
people who have made my vision real,

271
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,240
that all, collectively,
we are achieving something.

272
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,280
Suddenly, looking out,

273
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,560
fucking Statue of Liberty,
it's there, man.

274
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:36,480
And I realise I am coming up
to pieces. That my brain is smoking.

275
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,400
(MUSIC PLAYS / CHATTER)

276
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,320
Another night, another party.

277
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,920
You've been in New York a year.

278
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,840
You live alone,
company unnerves you.

279
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,080
But you are close
and you are impatient.

280
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:54,600
And you look around you at
this party of neon crucifixes

281
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,920
and run-down shacks.
They've made this place a wasteland.

282
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,600
And you push through
crowds of people.

283
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,480
You look up high at a billboard.
"It's the name of the night,"

284
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,160
you hear somebody say,
How Did Our Dreams End Up Like This?

285
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,800
Inside the club,
instantly, I lose everyone.

286
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,840
The only reason
I came to at this point,

287
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,400
even came to my senses,
is because I met her.

288
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,440
# TODD TERJE: Ragysh

289
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,240
Emmanuel Macron. Come on, guys.

290
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,280
Er, Macron on the app.

291
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,160
I don't think so.

292
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,320
Sorry. What?

293
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,560
No, wait, sorry.
Fuck! I actually entirely forgot

294
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,280
what we were talking about.
Wow! You are really screwed.

295
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,000
Amazing facts to remember.
Amazing facts game.

296
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,040
Oh, shit. Yeah. You're saying

297
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,800
Macaulay Culkin.
Nah.

298
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,920
Macaulay Culkin...
What?

299
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,920
Macaulay Culkin is only one year
younger than Emmanuel Macron.

300
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,800
How amazing is that?

301
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,960
What?

302
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,480
No... No way.
Way.

303
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,040
But he's, like,
the president of France.

304
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,080
Right.

305
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,240
Have you got one?

306
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
One what?
A fact.

307
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560
Oh, my God.

308
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Oh!

309
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,360
I don't know.
I'm... I'm... I'm pretty flipped.

310
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,400
Flipped?

311
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,560
Like out-of-control fucked.

312
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Yeah.
Yeah.

313
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,840
I'm not like that.
I put my pill up my arse.

314
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,320
What? Why?

315
00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:32,320
Cleaner high.
It gets in your blood quicker.

316
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,640
I feel incredible.

317
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,440
That's fucking weird.

318
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,680
Respect.

319
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,480
I'm joking.

320
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520
But when I was a teenager,

321
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,560
me and my friends
used to soak tampons in vodka

322
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,240
and put them up our vaginas
to get drunk quicker.

323
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,200
Really?

324
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,760
No. That's also a lie. (LAUGHS)

325
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,560
You're really making
me look ridiculous here.

326
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,200
It's cool.
I'm just playing with you.

327
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,480
It's called flirting.

328
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,600
No. I mean, I like it.

329
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,440
You speak incredible English,
by the way.

330
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,000
Yeah, you keep saying this.

331
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,320
"You speak incredibly English,
by the way."

332
00:21:17,360 --> 00:21:19,360
I know.

333
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,080
What did you say your
name was again?I didn't.

334
00:21:25,120 --> 00:21:29,840
Why is it that club smoking sections
always look like shantytowns

335
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,960
or concentration camps?

336
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,240
Or...Whoa!..or, you know,
Ground Zero...No...after 9/11.

337
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,040
I can't quite get down with that.

338
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,680
See, that's...
Oh, grow up. People say things.

339
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,080
9/11 changed the world.
it was spectacular.

340
00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,280
That is the unsayable truth.

341
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:51,720
I feel like you're cycling
through a lot of taboos here.

342
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Yeah? Maybe I did
put a pill up my arse.

343
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:57,160
No, I'm saying,
like, what's your point?

344
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,520
Obviously, I have completely
no idea what my point is,

345
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Damien says...
sometimes I have nothing to say

346
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,800
and I need to communicate this.

347
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,600
Who's Damien?

348
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,400
Damien Hirst.

349
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,040
So, you're an artist.

350
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,080
No, not any more.

351
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,960
I'm a curator.
I'm financing a $21 million

352
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,520
art foundation
in Manhattan right now.

353
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,920
OK, fuck, now you're joking.

354
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,960
No.

355
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,760
By art, build a museum,
put your name on it,

356
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,480
make it in your image,
let people in for free.

357
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,240
That's the closest you can
get to immortality, baby.

358
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,440
Is that your pitch?
Again, Damien.

359
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,440
So, where's your museum?

360
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,200
It's not the museum.
You know on Park Avenue...

361
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,680
Uh-huh!..about four minutes
up from Grand Central,

362
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,360
there's a building.Right.It has,
like, a Dutch mediaeval facade.

363
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,640
Sounds expensive.
We've raised most of the money.

364
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,560
Well, you got a pitch?

365
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,600
And it's moments like this,

366
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,680
in large smoking sections
of small clubs,

367
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,720
that you think back
to your old life,

368
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,160
to the first time you learnt
how people come to you.

369
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,120
You think of lecture halls
at Goldsmiths University,

370
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,320
parties and open warehouses
when you are 22,

371
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,960
in final year and failing.

372
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,400
You study fine art.

373
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,120
You're nice to people
but no-one wants to be friends

374
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,160
with a foreign student.

375
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,680
You have purple tints in your hair,
of course.

376
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,840
And during a lecture
critiquing the YBAs,

377
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,400
how they cannot draw, cannot paint,

378
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,040
have only concepts.

379
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,880
And you hear about Charles Saatchi
arriving at a warehouse

380
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,720
in a Rolls-Royce,
standing open-mouthed

381
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,960
in front of a box
containing a cow's head,

382
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,840
maggots and flies being killed
by an electrocuting light.

383
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,280
The concept - fear of death.

384
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,040
He buys it and you're
thinking about this story on a bus,

385
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,280
on your way to a party
that night in New Cross.

386
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,000
You're thinking about your
end-of-term report that day.

387
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,040
Artwork good.
Achievements satisfactory.

388
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,720
And arriving at this party of white
walls and students smoking inside

389
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,960
and the DJ in the living room,

390
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:38,240
you realise that every night
is ironic, ironic hip-hop night,

391
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,440
ironic acid-trance night,
ironic garage night.

392
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,840
I mean, what is even true or now?

393
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:53,800
And everyone is just
so edgy by saying nothing.

394
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,480
And now you're upstairs
in the bathroom

395
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,960
talking to an English boy
called Conrad.

396
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,640
The bathtub is full of plastic.

397
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,720
The boy says...
It's bubble wrap.

398
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,760
Get it? A bubble bath.

399
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,400
You look at yourself in the mirror,

400
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,440
I get it.

401
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,600
I like your hair.
Thanks.

402
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,240
He's gay. He eats out
the palm of your hand.

403
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,400
And then, watch this. It happens.

404
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,680
Hey, are you the Russian girl?

405
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Excuse me.I heard there's
a Russian oil heiress here

406
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,600
worth, like, a lot of money.

407
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,160
What's her name?
Well, I don't know her name.

408
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,920
And in that moment,

409
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,440
you decide you're not talentless,
you're not good at fine art

410
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,160
but you understand the world,

411
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,320
what people want, concepts, ideas,

412
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:55,400
how to make a connection.
And so you say...

413
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,560
You know,
it's pretty weird to think that

414
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,680
people who don't know you are
talking about you at a party.

415
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,080
Fuck. Sorry.

416
00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,520
It's that easy.

417
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,120
He brings you to his parents' house.

418
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,520
Notting Hill.
Sorry, not the posh bit.

419
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,760
There is real art on the walls.
His parents...

420
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,280
They collect a little.And you
talk through the night about plans.

421
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,200
Fundamentally
changing the art scene.

422
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,320
Is that a Koons?What?
Up there? A Jeff Koons.

423
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,440
Oh, yeah, I think so.
Do you like it?

424
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,280
I love it.

425
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,800
And you know then,
life can be better.

426
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Are you going to Frieze?
The after parties maybe,

427
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,600
not the fair, I don't think.

428
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,440
Mm! Vicious.

429
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,080
And leaving the next day,
having not slept,

430
00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:50,920
you take the bus 148
back forever to Camberwell.

431
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,240
And back in your room with no
furniture and nothing on the walls,

432
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,720
you open Instagram.
You look at the people you love

433
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,760
who make influence from nothing,
who make envy like currency.

434
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,600
And that day, you go to Harrods,
you take pictures of yourself

435
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,600
in a Givenchy dress,
which you shoplift,

436
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,160
along with Celine sunglasses.

437
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,040
You go to Mayfair galleries,
White Cube, Gagosian,

438
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Damien Hirst retrospective at Tate.

439
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,440
Damien Hirst says, "You have to
work with the tools of the day."

440
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,080
So you use your phone
to start a new beginning.

441
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:27,680
You find pictures of art
you like on Instagram you curate.

442
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,280
At your new friends,
learn the power of association.

443
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,720
And when, months later,
having stopped going to classes,

444
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,240
this boy tells you about
a magazine internship in New York.

445
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:43,040
His parents know the owners.
They could make an introduction.

446
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,760
And you decide, yes.

447
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,800
And by the time you've
touched down in New York,

448
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,160
you will have committed.
You will buy bottle service in bars.

449
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,440
You will have the best
Instagram in the city.

450
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:59,320
Your story will be an advert for
just how far you can go by tipping.

451
00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:02,680
And where you will meet a man
who will offer you money

452
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,880
without even knowing your real name.

453
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,120
Well, you got a pitch?

454
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,120
Why am I pitching to you?
(LAUGHS)

455
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,360
Because you're talking
to the founder of a company

456
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,120
valued at £200 million as of today.

457
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,080
Give me your pitch.

458
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:28,360
Yeah, I'm not really
looking for investors.

459
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,760
And, I'm sorry,
but who even are you?

460
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,800
I want to look at
the light pollution.

461
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Looking back, several things
led to meeting Anna.

462
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,080
The first was breaking up with
my college girlfriend, Carly.

463
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,720
We were engaged,
actually, in San Francisco.

464
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,360
She'd been at Boston University.
I was at MIT.

465
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,800
And you know those girls that
are hot in a Midwest kind of way.

466
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,800
Hey, sweetie.Hey there, sweetie.
How you doing now?Oh, I'm good.

467
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,080
That was Carly. You married yet?

468
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,360
Oh, you know I am.
Kids? You adopted, right?Mm-hmm.

469
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,000
And that girl
really should be my wife now.

470
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,520
But I can get to that.
The point is, I was at Facebook,

471
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,800
specifically Instagram,
working in machine learning.

472
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:15,000
Carly was at 350.org,
environmental charity, respectable.

473
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,280
But in SF, Carly was very anti
the culture of "unchecked growth,"

474
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,320
of "disruption," of friends
of ours going to Burning Man.

475
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,760
Burners.Of the beautiful,
influential people

476
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,000
who went out there to find
themselves having already

477
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,040
founded a multimillion-dollar
tech start-up.Founders.

478
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,560
But the truth is,
and this is the heart of it,

479
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,560
I FOMO'd to fuck.
I wanted to see the orgy tent

480
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,720
where you were permitted
only with female company.

481
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,640
I wanted to try DMT,
whatever that was.

482
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,960
And I dreamed of being
the force behind a start-up

483
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,760
that could change the world.
But, sweetie, you could start one.

484
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,080
I know, but, like, what?
I don't know, honey.

485
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,880
But, I mean, if Mark can do it,
then you can.

486
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Mark? Mark Liebling?
Yeah, from, like,

487
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,720
fricking Phi Beta Epsilon
or whatever.

488
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360
OK, yeah. Mark just sold
to Benchmark. He's a big deal.

489
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,600
He's not even that smart.
Right.

490
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,280
I mean, would you want to be
like him? He's a total meathead.

491
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,720
Do you know what? I dreamed of that.

492
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Sweetie, I thought you
wanted to make computer games.

493
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,720
At school, sure but...But come on.
There was this one idea.

494
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,600
It was going to be
like Legend Of Zelda

495
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,520
but in an Americana Western style.
A Montana-set Western, OK?

496
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,120
Montana.That one.
And I'd pictured a game, OK,

497
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,520
where my hero travelled
on horse and foot,

498
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:29,720
met maidens on milk ranches,
through a vast, detailed open world.

499
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,880
He'd bring peace
to a besieged community,

500
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,000
battling a corrupt
county sheriff who'd summoned

501
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,880
the Native American
god of the dead. I mean.

502
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,240
come on.Sweetie,
I love that idea.Sweetie, listen.

503
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,880
In SF, people are building
their own realities,

504
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,760
world-altering concepts not...
Honey, you have ideas.

505
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,200
But by the time I hit 30,
I realised,

506
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,080
socially, I was cruising into
the stage of life where people I met

507
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,280
were just blends of people
I already knew.

508
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,920
Workwise? The future was
a backache, an ulcer, and what?

509
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,200
Climbing the ladder to become lead
engineer to make 200-250 a year?

510
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,000
And my relationship? Yeah.

511
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:07,200
I thought about other girls.
I thought about girls

512
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,880
reading The New York
Review Of Books on the Metro.

513
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,280
I thought about girls
in the Mission District,

514
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,720
tattoos from Portland and Astoria.

515
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:19,600
And it worked. At Instagram,
my world was bathed in images.

516
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,040
So, in short,
I decided to capsize my life.

517
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:29,280
You left your Nintendo here
and your gym bag.

518
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,560
Look, I'm sorry.

519
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,600
Are you?

520
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,040
Honestly, I don't know.

521
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,600
But the beginning of Genesis
and my coming to New York

522
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,000
would not have happened
had me and Carly not ended.

523
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,160
This is not some
founder's myth bullshit, OK.

524
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,680
This is for real.
Toys are preludes to serious ideas.

525
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,160
Necessity is
the mother of invention.

526
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,520
I was in Chicago on a road trip
back from San Francisco,

527
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,960
having recently
cluster-fucked my own heart.

528
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,840
Me and Carly had been apart
for a few months, OK, a few weeks,

529
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,920
and I went online,
by which I mean, why hide the fact,

530
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,680
I downloaded Tinder, looking for,
like, an introduction to the city.

531
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,200
You know what I found?
That's right.

532
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,920
Nothing. No calibre,
just a heap of anybody.

533
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,160
And what I realised is, it's not me.

534
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,840
It's the platform. It sucked arse.

535
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,720
So I had an idea of an app
that was invite only,

536
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,720
vetted membership, prestigious.

537
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,480
I knocked up the dummy site
right there in my hotel room.

538
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,440
Circulated it. Within six
weeks of getting back to SF,

539
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,400
is thing had a waiting
list of just below 10,000.

540
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,840
Within three months,
the LA freaking Times

541
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,360
runs a story on us,
"Genesis, the Illuminati Tinder."

542
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,440
And, no, man, this is something
I built on my laptop in a day.

543
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,640
And was I cynical about it?

544
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Yes, yes, of course.

545
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,000
But Genesis was a business model,
about new beginnings,

546
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,480
where anything could happen.
About making a kickass platform

547
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,920
where you felt like you were
getting away with something,

548
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,600
with someone, with the girl
of your fricking dreams, like Anna.

549
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,640
Take off your shoes.

550
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,240
Why am I doing that?
I promise it'll feel good.

551
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Honestly, my feet
feel pretty comfortable.

552
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:13,360
Look, if you don't like it, I'll
put your shoes back on for you.

553
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,160
Yeah? Fine.

554
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,200
(DANCE MUSIC PULSES IN BACKGROUND)

555
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,480
Oh, man!
Yeah, right?

556
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,800
Feels incredible. You are strange.

557
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Everyone in America
is very non-eccentric.

558
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Yeah? Yeah, that's right.

559
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,680
Well, what makes you so eccentric?

560
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,360
I'm not.
Am I very American?Yes.

561
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:52,040
And you're Russian...
Russian-French. Think that's neat?

562
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,840
Yeah, that's pretty neat.
(GIGGLES)

563
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,280
You know what I love?
What?

564
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,280
Getting a high on an empty stomach.
Fuck! I love you.

565
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,560
What?

566
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,680
I fucking love you
that you say that.

567
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,960
Really?Completely.
Wow! You are high.Yes.

568
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
You want to see my tits?

569
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,120
What?

570
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,000
Fuck, yeah.

571
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,600
Not here.

572
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,080
I woke up in my apartment,
two-three hours sleep

573
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,960
around about 8 a.m., What we
called at college drinkers dawn.

574
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,560
And the night before, I had been,
mark my words, college fucked.

575
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,280
And I remember,
I had a piss so long,

576
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,800
it was like the soul
leaving the body.

577
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,320
You wake up early.
You read about him, his app.

578
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,320
iPhone only, Instagram required.
Download.

579
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,920
I had a racquetball game that
afternoon, which I cancelled.

580
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,160
I drank a ton of coffee,
which made me uneasy.

581
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,720
And online, I learned everything
about this girl. I read the runes.

582
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,000
One hour later, you're accepted.

583
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,680
Her Instagram was lit.You see...
Into travel, fashion but funny,

584
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,680
..the owner of the Box nightclub,
a thousand Instagram models.

585
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:09,320
New Yorker cartoons,
memes that were not dumb.

586
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,440
Influencers, photographers.

587
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,880
One of those 100 or so people that
only exist in New York's nightlife.

588
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,960
You research him.
A life you cannot believe.

589
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,000
His life, like yours, is painted
online.At private views in Chelsea.

590
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,080
A guy not invited
to parties in high school.

591
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,400
At a Peruvian restaurant just
opened between Lexington and 3rd.

592
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,200
A guy trying to turn
the whole world on for a moment.

593
00:35:30,240 --> 00:35:33,560
A guy trying to live his best life.

594
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,520
And so you decide - meet.

595
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,560
Right off the bat, I WhatsApp her.

596
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,840
And through my anxiety, I send
an articulate, humorous summary

597
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,560
of the night before,
the uniqueness of my hangover

598
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,160
and a topical aside
about US-Russia relations.

599
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,200
I wait. Nothing.

600
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:51,400
And, man I spend
the remainder of that weekend

601
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,760
just dooming out,
scrutinising that message

602
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,800
and hating myself comprehensively.

603
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,160
I take Monday off to deal
with my spiralling comedown

604
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,600
and still no reply. I only
went in the office by Tuesday

605
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,960
because there's apparently been
some minor snafu with programming.

606
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,960
Dude! Yo!

607
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,040
Marcus, are new ML engineer,

608
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,240
who we had to hire because
he's the nephew of someone

609
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:16,320
at Grigorian Brothers.
El Capitano. How's it hanging?

610
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:20,000
Yeah, fine. And this guy is a
dumb-arse Princeton business major.

611
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,280
He's been in private equity.
He's been at code camp

612
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:26,360
to retool himself. Now, probably
on his sixth career, age 26.

613
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,400
Legendary party, man.

614
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,760
I mean, if that's
working on Thanksgiving,

615
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,480
give it to me every damn day.

616
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,280
Spends very little time on his job,
all day on client engineering,

617
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,680
ie, checking out girls applying,
macking on them.

618
00:36:39,720 --> 00:36:42,200
Looking pretty jacked
when I saw you, man.

619
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:46,000
Awesomeballs. Think we all were.
Yeah, so what's the problem, Marcus?

620
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,040
Oh, man, it's minor stuff.

621
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,680
Bottleneck issue with membership.
Recalibrated, pronto.

622
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:53,560
Recalibrated?

623
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,800
Yeah. Waiting on update.
Not your issue.

624
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,320
Also, dude, that girl.

625
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,880
What?
Nice.

626
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,640
You know her?
Yeah. What, you didn't?

627
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,680
No.
Oh, dude, kudos.

628
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:11,360
What do you know about her?
Well, from what I hear,

629
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,880
she's, like, one of these rich
art girls, you know.Wait, shut up.

630
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,080
Elegantly waisted.
Shut up. Will you see if she's on?

631
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,200
Yeah.
No, but can you check now?

632
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,280
No, like, dude, she's on, man.

633
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,560
I vetted her yesterday.

634
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,600
I send Marcus home to jerk off.

635
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,440
Sitting there in the
twilight of the office alone,

636
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,480
I open the app. Search.

637
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Bam! Right there?

638
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,440
Swipe to connect. Pending.

639
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,600
And just as I am, like, "You,
doofus, this girl already ghosted."

640
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,360
Connected. I open a beer.

641
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,360
Pace Gallery, East 57th.

642
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,480
You're looking at work by
a new artist you're interested in.

643
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,000
You're considering smoking,

644
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,320
you're considering leaving,
when notification,

645
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:59,880
Genesis.
Ariel Lieven wants to connect.

646
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,800
Hey!
Hi!

647
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,000
Sorry, only just replying to this,
Anna is typing.

648
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,200
I just had a round on.

649
00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:11,960
A round on?
A ton on.

650
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,360
Sorry, predictive. How are you?

651
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,760
Great. How are you?
Still feeling it tbh from weekend.

652
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,720
Still at work but back on it
tonight. Two Brooklyns down.

653
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,440
Yeah? Strong.

654
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,160
I'm great. Me too.
I just got this art thing.

655
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,440
Driving too.

656
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Er, drinking, not driving. LOL.

657
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,120
Well, hope you are
not driving too far.

658
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,480
Do you want to meet?
Laughing.

659
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,080
I was actually going to say...
Sure, that's cool.

660
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
You should come here.

661
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,160
Yes. Yeah, right.

662
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,840
Pace, where I am, if you want.
Great. Amazing.

663
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,880
So, see you soon.
Perfect.OK. Kiss.

664
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,160
I get a cab from
the office on 6th Avenue.

665
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,320
My art knowledge is patchy.

666
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,360
OK, poor. Traffic is horrible.

667
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,320
I googled the artist.
It's in Chinese. Difficult name.

668
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,000
Doesn't even have a Wikipedia.

669
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,560
You know when you're aware that
you're the centre of attention?

670
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,000
That you are powering the fact
that anyone is even being there,

671
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,240
or trying. You're talking
to three guys in the gallery.

672
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,280
showing off, being provocative,
overly smoking,

673
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,320
over using the word "cunt."

674
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,160
No, I'm not on the list
but can you please let me in?

675
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,080
"Well, who do you know?"
Anna. "Everyone knows Anna."

676
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,120
And inside, everyone is rude.

677
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,920
You know the kind of girls who
survive on tapas and cocaine?

678
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,760
And, amazingly, you're
looking forward to seeing him.

679
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,920
Hey.
Hi.

680
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,600
I'm drunk.
Wanna get drunker with me?

681
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,960
Er, definitely,
You know, in Russia,

682
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,920
we have a word for
drunkenness more than two days.

683
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,960
Yeah?
Zapoy.

684
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,160
Zapoy. Nice.

685
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,880
Should we be looking at the art?

686
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,800
If you like.

687
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,520
So, what do you think?

688
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Yeah. I rate his content.

689
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,040
Content?
It's cool.

690
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,800
A lot of paint,
reminds me of Rothkow.

691
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,840
Rothko.
Rothko.

692
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,640
Right?
Sure. Why not?

693
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,680
No?

694
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,880
Um, it says something
by the side here.

695
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,240
"If I'm to paint, I will paint
the passage of time itself,

696
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,080
"which concerns
the essence of my life."

697
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,680
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

698
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:46,200
So, what I think he's saying,
is that in parts of China,

699
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:49,240
like where the artist is from,
some people buy a coffin

700
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,920
when they're 60
and they keep it in their home.

701
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,160
And each year, they paint
a layer of colour on it

702
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,400
until, you know, they die.

703
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,040
Morbid, Great knowledge.

704
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,520
Thanks.
I read it on Artnet in my cab.

705
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,280
Man, I wish
I knew how to use Google.

706
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:12,040
Yeah, you know, you're almost funny
in, like, a lame geek kind of way.

707
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,000
And what the fuck? You mean it.
Thanks.

708
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:19,240
So, Artnet?Yeah, that's how
easy it is to get away with it.

709
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,560
So, this guy's brand is, like...
Memento mori. Yes!

710
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,280
Remember you die.Zapoy.
Exactly.Man, this is flying.

711
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,080
I'm, like, "Do you actually want
to get out of here, like, to a bar?"

712
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,200
And she says...
Let's go to a hotel.

713
00:41:31,240 --> 00:41:33,240
And you're, like,
"Man, that's crazy.

714
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,160
"My apartment
is just over the river."

715
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,800
But I'm also, like,
"That would be baller."

716
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,600
And you're thinking, "This is it.

717
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,520
"You are really doing this."

718
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,360
She takes our wineglasses
and we leave, onto the street,

719
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,240
like Rihanna. And in a cab
flying direct down FDR

720
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,360
with the driver playing bhangra,
she says...

721
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,320
Can you play louder, please?
By the time we get to the Beekman...

722
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,320
You take him to the hotel bar.
Plush furniture, chandeliers.

723
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,400
I go to the men's room.
For whatever reason,

724
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,960
the urinals are filled with ice.
And by time I get back,

725
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,800
she's ordered ingeniously...
Vodka and grapefruit juice.

726
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,480
It's not as if I was looking for
some kind of whirlwind romance

727
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:11,840
or something. I was just
looking for something different,

728
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,680
like, more life than life.
Like drugs.

729
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:16,680
When... When going to the store,
going for a walk,

730
00:42:16,720 --> 00:42:19,000
everything feels meaningful.
And on your way to the room,

731
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,920
you are thinking you are
in love with this feeling

732
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,080
of being spontaneous
and reckless and pointless.

733
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,120
Let's order room service
on the bed and watch television.

734
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,760
And it's doubly perfect
because he wants to be silly

735
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,480
and not just worship my body
and I want him to worship my body.

736
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,000
I want to get into a bathrobe
and tell him, seriously,

737
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,680
this will pass but it's fun.

738
00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:42,560
I am drunk

739
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:46,040
and completely unavailable
to have sex at this time.

740
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,640
I want to look at her
face on in the bed

741
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:52,400
and ask her everything about
her life.Let's play a game.OK.

742
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,040
OK, so one person
says the first word

743
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560
and the next person
says the next word.

744
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,800
Should I go first or you?
Me.

745
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,840
When.

746
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,880
You.

747
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Came.

748
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,960
In.
To.

749
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,800
My.

750
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,840
Bed.

751
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,880
Comma.

752
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,920
I.
Knew.

753
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,080
That.
It.

754
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,120
Would.
Be.

755
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,160
Alarming.

756
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,160
Really?

757
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,760
(LAUGHS) Maybe. Why not?

758
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,000
Quite good sentence, right? Period.

759
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,920
You are weird but nice.

760
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,480
You don't know that.

761
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,600
Well, how much can you
ever know a person, right?

762
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,640
That's a cliche.

763
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,120
I have no idea what you think of me.

764
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,160
(TRAFFIC SOUNDS)

765
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:07,800
Imagine waking up in a luxury hotel
suite on a Wednesday morning,

766
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,280
no idea of the time. Imagine
light flooding through the window.

767
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,200
Dawn chorus of
garbage trucks, traffic,

768
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:17,480
and the room being entirely empty.

769
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,920
Imagine collecting your belongings,

770
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,000
trying not to smell your own breath

771
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,440
and heading to reception.
How did you enjoy your stay, sir?

772
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,600
Er, very much.Sir, we understand
Miss Brunel had to leave early

773
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,920
for an art fair in Prague.
She did.

774
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,040
Sir, we understand that
you're happy to collect the bill.

775
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,040
I see.And how would
you like to pay today, sir?

776
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,920
Er, American Express.
Excellent, sir.

777
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:48,600
Now to cover Miss Brunel's stay,
the charge is $19,755.

778
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,640
And do you know what?

779
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,560
That was cool, sexy, weird.

780
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,600
Astonishing.
And I was not so much worried,

781
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,600
I've been robbed as much as
I've been rinsed by a rich girl

782
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,120
who had so much money she
couldn't even keep track of it.

783
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,160
Are we seeing each other
again or what?

784
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:18,920
Hey, yeah, have to travel
but I'd love to when back.

785
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,960
Right.

786
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,520
Actually...

787
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:55,240
Time passes.

788
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,280
Winter into spring.

789
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,760
The miracle of new things.

790
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,160
Your visa just by coming and going.

791
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:07,080
And back from London Fashion Week,
days getting longer,

792
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,640
you touched down in Newark.

793
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,040
The snow on the sidewalk that
had once clung to your sweatpants,

794
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,040
turns brown in the rain and is gone.

795
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,200
I'm crossing the Hudson.

796
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,760
You remember that a magician
plans to float over it

797
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,520
using only helium balloons.

798
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Everything is possible. Still.

799
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,920
And from your taxi window,
you see rain

800
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,000
sprinkle hot-dog vendors
and street performers.

801
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:45,640
And you go direct,
not to your hotel, but to him.

802
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:50,560
You like him because he's different
than the people you meet in arts.

803
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,280
The curators in Chelsea and SoHo.

804
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:55,160
The artists in Bed-Stuy.

805
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:58,000
Not talking about
"movers and shakers"

806
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,040
or "looking past big names."

807
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,240
You like him because
he books cars for you

808
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,480
without asking you first.

809
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,280
And nearing Brooklyn,

810
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:13,400
you reflect that you're
approaching something near normal,

811
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,440
fixed,

812
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,880
accepted.

813
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:19,960
And although you live apart...

814
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,080
..still you feel
the wind blow under the door.

815
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:28,600
Sunday night box sets,
invitations "home."

816
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,520
And as you make yourself
unavailable,

817
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,280
he cleaves closer.

818
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,680
It all becomes a little...
How was your day?

819
00:47:37,720 --> 00:47:40,360
Are we really doing that?
What?

820
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,280
"How was your day?"

821
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,120
We can not. Do you not want to?

822
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:48,680
He is a moth to the flame
of your unkindness.

823
00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:51,720
Anna?
No, sure.

824
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,120
Or we could get take-out
and kill ourselves also.

825
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,760
That would be quicker.
OK. That's cool.

826
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,400
Tell me how you feel.
Not, like, habitual.

827
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,680
You really don't bullshit, do you?
Hmm?

828
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:05,480
You continuously
say it how you see it.

829
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:09,640
How it is?Right. Like,
I guess you could spend so long

830
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,760
being appropriate. Not saying
or doing what you actually want.

831
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,400
Pointless.
Right. So, how was your day?

832
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,600
Ariel!
Serious, I want to know.

833
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,160
I had meetings with lawyers
who were condescending.

834
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,760
Yeah. Problem?
Cash-flow issue.

835
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,120
Sounds kind of serious.
It's nothing.

836
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,280
OK, what else?

837
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,240
I had lunch with a Beijing
collector at Sadelle's.

838
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,720
Yeah. What's the outlook?New York
is poised to eclipse London.

839
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,600
We're well placed.
What did you do for fun?

840
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,600
I looked at the cherry blossom
from your top window.

841
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,520
Any other questions?Mm-hm.
You could see it all the time

842
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,800
if you spent more time here.
Ariel.What?

843
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:49,920
Your apartment is not the only place
in New York I can see blossom.

844
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:54,000
So, I shouldn't bring up
the pedestrian?Not at all.

845
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,040
Kill myself instead. Got it!

846
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,920
And one day, bright, cold,

847
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,680
you deign to walk with him
through Brooklyn.

848
00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:03,920
And hiking through
Green-Wood Cemetery,

849
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,000
white jet marks in blue sky...
I cannot get over how crisp it is.

850
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,760
So crispy, you know?
Your first fight.

851
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,320
So seasonal.
First obstacle.

852
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:16,360
Reminds me of walking out
in the Midwest,

853
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,560
used to hike up to this water
tower.His cheer...Panoramic,

854
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,680
..irrepressible.Did you
walk as a teenager in Russia?

855
00:49:22,720 --> 00:49:25,440
With headphones, sure.
Oh, the best.

856
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,240
No, it was totally boring, actually.

857
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,560
Really?
This is great, though, right?

858
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,600
I mean, look at these guys.

859
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,440
Mausoleums, angels, urns.

860
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,480
Just the decadence of it.

861
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,360
I mean, it's OK.

862
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:46,240
Do you like that one?
Which?Cool Egyptian one?

863
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,720
No way. Hate.
Hmm!

864
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,200
What about that one?
Absolutely hate.

865
00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:53,400
Not a tomb fan, huh?

866
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,480
Regular grave girl.
Definitely not.

867
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:01,120
Cremate me. It's my last chance
for a smoking body.(LAUGHS)

868
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,360
OK. Hey, now, you have a hot body.

869
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,400
(CHUCKLES)

870
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,040
Weird, though, huh?
Knowing the first date

871
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,160
but not the second,
like, when's it going to be?

872
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,120
I mean, at least you know what
name is going to be on yours.

873
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,760
Oh, fuck!
That's actually very profound.

874
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,880
No, it's not, Ariel.
You're a man. It's obvious.

875
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:28,000
OK, but do you know
what kind of name

876
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,520
you'd like on there, perhaps?

877
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:34,040
OK, I like a lot of different kinds,

878
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:39,080
you know, like, a lot of
different shapes, sizes.

879
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,840
(SCOFFS) Gotcha.

880
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,080
Why did you do that?

881
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,520
Do what?
Like, resist. Deflect.

882
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:52,840
Deflect what exactly?I feel like
you reject platforms for intimacy.

883
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,640
Because I don't want to talk about
sharing your name on a gravestone?

884
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,520
Come on.OK, OK. But not just.
Like, opportunities for affection,

885
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:01,240
I have to travel again soon.
See, this is what I mean.

886
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,520
You're like a fricking
vapour trail, right?

887
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,000
How many toothbrushes do you
have in how many bathrooms?

888
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,800
You come and go, right?
I mean, did someone hurt you or...?

889
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,040
Yes, Ariel, somebody hurt me.

890
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:13,120
And now I retreat
from relationships.

891
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,520
It's really so sad.
Mock, sure.

892
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,480
But I feel like you build this
wall of irony around yourself.

893
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,720
A wall of irony?
I think you misunderstand irony.

894
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,160
OK, whatever. You make yourself
a fortress whenever...A fortress?

895
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,680
So, it's a fortress with
a wall of irony built around it?

896
00:51:27,720 --> 00:51:29,720
Am I inside the fortress?
OK, yeah, forget it.

897
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,560
Maybe you need a nice Midwest girl,
Ariel, a girl next door.

898
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,160
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I'm trying to get close to you...

899
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,320
You know what?What?
Fuck me in the mouth

900
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,560
If you want to get close to me,
don't talk.

901
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,400
Really?

902
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,360
I'm going to give us a minute.

903
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,840
And you remind yourself...

904
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,840
..choose solitude.

905
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,960
Choose to be alone on purpose.

906
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,440
I probably want to go, I'm sorry.
I didn't bring this up before

907
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,360
and it was kind of random
but did you use my name

908
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,000
to extend a credit line
with Grigorian Capital

909
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,160
without telling me?
I'm sorry, what

910
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,600
For your foundation?

911
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:13,640
Excuse me?

912
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,680
Are you using me?

913
00:52:15,720 --> 00:52:18,520
I didn't think about it
at the time but did you say

914
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,920
we were acquaintances
to meet their investment board?

915
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,240
I don't know, Ariel. I meet
with a lot of different firms.

916
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,360
Because. if you did, it's no biggie.

917
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,960
Just, I want to know
where we're going here.

918
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,960
Like, am I paranoid?
Or am I useful to you? Or what?

919
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,240
Because, also, the thing with
the hotel bill?Oh, my God!

920
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,680
I'm not prosecuting you.I can
pay you back now.I wanna know,

921
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:39,440
you know?What do you want to know,
Ariel?Listen, I'm a tombstone.

922
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,560
What are you saying?
I lied? I'm lying? What?

923
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,920
What I'm saying...What are
you saying? Speak English!

924
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,320
This time, truly, level with me.

925
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,120
I hear you want to raise
this loan with Grigorian,

926
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,280
yet you have a trust.
You're having cash-flow issues

927
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,200
but then you tipped our driver
here a fucking Benjamin.

928
00:52:55,240 --> 00:52:57,360
So, I need to work this out.

929
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:01,800
Because money, money is easy,
right, Anna, isn't it?

930
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,120
I have it. You have it.

931
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,840
So there is something else going on.
Is there not?

932
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,960
So I'm asking you,
please, about you.

933
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,440
What is going on with you?

934
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,080
Me?

935
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,960
OK.

936
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,480
OK.

937
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:44,080
Once upon a time, there was a girl.

938
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,200
And this girl...
I'm sorry, what?

939
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,440
Once upon a time, there was a girl.

940
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,680
And this girl, she met a man.

941
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,880
And she was very beautiful.

942
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,120
And she came from a far-off place.

943
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:10,600
And she had all
the finest silks and embroidery,

944
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,000
she went to all the best parties.

945
00:54:15,720 --> 00:54:17,720
And everyone,

946
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,320
everyone thought
this girl was perfect.

947
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,320
Especially this man.

948
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,800
Even though...
Even though she was quite scary.

949
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:34,440
(CHUCKLES) OK.And what you
need to know about this girl...

950
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,480
..is that she wore
a ribbon around her neck.

951
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:40,880
And she never took it off.

952
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:42,920
Ever.

953
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,480
It was kind of like a choker.

954
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:50,400
Anyway, this man
fell in love with a girl.

955
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,400
He loved her very much.

956
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:55,440
And one day...

957
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,440
..he proposed to her.

958
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:02,560
And, eventually, the girl said yes.

959
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:08,400
And on their wedding night,
the man said,

960
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,880
"Why, please, do you wear
this ribbon around your neck?

961
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,920
"Will you take it off?"

962
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,920
And the girl said, "No.

963
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,040
"I love you,
I will do anything for you

964
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:24,480
"but I can never take
this ribbon off. Ever."

965
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,000
And the man said OK.

966
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,800
But every year,
he asked the same question

967
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,600
and every year the girl said no.

968
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:39,640
Until one day, many years later...

969
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,760
..the man said,

970
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:46,160
"Now we have loved each other
for such a long time.

971
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,280
"And we have no secrets.

972
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,440
"Will you please
take you ribbon off?!"

973
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:56,840
And the girl said, "OK.

974
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:03,560
"If I have to, for you, I will."

975
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,680
And so she began
to untie the ribbon.

976
00:56:08,720 --> 00:56:13,480
And she said, "Now you will see why
I could never take it off before."

977
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,720
And slowly, carefully...

978
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,760
..she unwound the last threads...

979
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,920
..and her head fell off.

980
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,440
Do you like this?
Do you like this story, Ariel?

981
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:41,200
I mean, I like hearing
you tell it, yeah, but...

982
00:56:41,240 --> 00:56:43,240
But do you understand it?

983
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:46,360
Maybe... No.

984
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,360
Everyone has a past.
Everyone is something.

985
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:54,160
That... You like me
as I am right now, yes?

986
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,720
Yes, of course
And that's it.

987
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,760
That's it?

988
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:01,800
(SIGHS)

989
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,120
You know, whatever it is,
it's safe with me, right?

990
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,280
Yes.

991
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,360
Do you want to talk more?

992
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,080
No.

993
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,080
No.
I'm going to buy cigarettes.

994
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:25,240
And if you're asking if I questioned
what that was about exactly.

995
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,440
Sure. Very much so.

996
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,680
She had a point.

997
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,360
No-one owes you their past.

998
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,720
The heart of another
is a dark forest, always.

999
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,800
And it's not as if Anna
didn't pay for stuff.

1000
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,400
Dinner, trips,

1001
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,800
tipping like a lunatic.

1002
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,480
Money always appeared.

1003
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:52,000
Are you ready?Two months later,
in a cab to Park Avenue.

1004
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,720
Yellow cab only. Never Uber.

1005
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,280
Going to see Anna's building for
the first time, by which I mean,

1006
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:00,760
I was visiting for the first time.
Between meetings with architects

1007
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,240
and hedge-fund managers...
So much bullshit. I'm sorry.

1008
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,280
..she fitted me in. And this place,
not kidding you, was like Amsterdam,

1009
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:11,000
Flemish, ornate. And in
a mirrored elevator on the way up...

1010
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,080
Is this what the architecture
is like in Moscow?

1011
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,120
Absolutely not.

1012
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:19,120
You're not nervous?
No. Should I be?

1013
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,720
I don't know. My bowels always
kind of judder for these things.

1014
00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:25,200
Do you want to know my secret?

1015
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:28,840
For the pitch? Yeah, sure, why not?

1016
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,080
OK.

1017
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,400
One, stand in the mirror.

1018
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,560
Often.
OK, tick.

1019
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:42,840
Two, every conversation
has a winner and a loser.

1020
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,000
Yeah, who's winning now?

1021
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:49,600
Three, don't be
amazed by anything. Ever.

1022
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:53,760
Joy, despair,
these are excessive emotions.

1023
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,600
For you maybe.
Four,

1024
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,600
the world wants to be deceived.

1025
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,920
Give them what they want.

1026
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,280
Er, really?

1027
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,320
Five...

1028
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:10,640
..never contend with someone
who has nothing to lose.

1029
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,840
Scary.
Six...

1030
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,600
Six?
..if all else fails, cry.

1031
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:18,600
Yeah?

1032
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,160
You think?
Maybe.

1033
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,240
Those are pretty good.
Where did you get them?

1034
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,120
All over.

1035
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,160
So, not nervous?

1036
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,680
It doesn't matter whether
I am or not, I don't show it

1037
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,280
(LIFT BELL DINGS)

1038
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,640
And, man, do we get a welcome?
Real estate in Manhattan, no joke,

1039
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,160
agent was obsequious
to the point of nausea.

1040
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,280
And while Anna spoke to investors...

1041
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,760
Post-war and contemporary are
the market's primary locomotive.

1042
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,440
I mean, a Warhol sold for 37 million

1043
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,480
at Christie's
evening sale last night.

1044
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,400
..I looked around.
And, Anna, this place is amazing.

1045
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:58,760
Views over the Hudson,
high ceilings.

1046
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:02,000
A palace of glass and space.
Hirst?

1047
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,920
Me.
Nice.

1048
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,600
How did it go with the investors?
Oh, they don't understand.

1049
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:11,680
I want to make something
spectacular like Moscow's Metro.

1050
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,840
Marble and columns and chandeliers.
You've got to take me.

1051
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:18,840
I will.

1052
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,880
God, I'm so close.
To what?

1053
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,320
This, my foundation.

1054
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:28,480
You're so impressive.

1055
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,320
I just wish I could be part of it.
Shut up.

1056
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,160
Serious.
No, Ariel, shut up.

1057
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:37,360
I mean, that... That is not
what this is.I know, I know.

1058
01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:40,480
But if your inheritance
is delayed, Anna,

1059
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,040
I'm... I'm here, you know? I...

1060
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,720
Really?

1061
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,360
Well, how much do you need?

1062
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,880
Wow! OK.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.Um...

1063
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,920
I mean...

1064
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,200
Do you want to?

1065
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:16,960
I mean... OK.

1066
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,480
I... I think. I...

1067
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,400
Look at the size of this place.

1068
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,600
Listen to the echo. (ECHOES)

1069
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,120
Reminds me of where we first met.
Hmm!

1070
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,160
This high up,
everything just looks...

1071
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:39,400
..cleaner.

1072
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,960
Anna...Wait...I was gonna say...
No, no. Ariel, hold on.Are you OK?

1073
01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,720
I like it here with you.

1074
01:01:57,960 --> 01:01:59,960
Perfect quiet.

1075
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:04,640
You know...

1076
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,680
What?

1077
01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,480
We met at the right time in my life,

1078
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,520
Ariel,

1079
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:14,880
in our lives.

1080
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,880
One week later, Anna left town.
Had to reset her ESTA.

1081
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,800
During that time,
I take the app international.

1082
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:28,040
Developing markets.
And as I set off to travel,

1083
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,480
the pinnacle of my itinerary
is a tech conference in Beijing.

1084
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,720
This Beijing meet,
very much not my deal.

1085
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,440
Some round-table Futurist CEOs
in Tech thing. Lot of press.

1086
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,040
So meeting with
a journalist that morning.

1087
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,360
Fact-checker, ball-buster,
gonna be a big Forbes profile.

1088
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,040
We meet at this Canton
hotpot place for breakfast.

1089
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:50,520
Shall we start with some figures?
Er, for sign up? Yeah, sure.

1090
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,360
I was thinking more like
revenue this yea next to last.

1091
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,080
Recent investments.Oh, no, no, no.
We're a private company, dude.

1092
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:57,920
That shit's off the table.

1093
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,200
I just think that the long-term
viability of the product

1094
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:03,080
Is worth touching on...Have they
got aspirin here, do you think?

1095
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:05,880
Er, listen, take it from me,
the app is doing very well.

1096
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,080
You got figures about growth
in the press pack, right?

1097
01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:11,280
Are you OK?
Yep, yep. Fine.

1098
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:13,440
OK. No.

1099
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,560
Honestly,
I'm really quite hung over.

1100
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,040
Like, there's a fan constantly
going in my head.Right.

1101
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,360
Do you want me to put that
on the interview or...? Er...

1102
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,960
No.No? OK, should we
get into the app then?

1103
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,120
Which I've had access to.
You're on it?

1104
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,960
Well, I was put on it. I was
given an account by your team.

1105
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,760
Great. You have had a good time?

1106
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:32,640
Saw a lot of good-looking people.

1107
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,000
You were searching both?
Sexes? Sure.

1108
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,280
But the crowd leans straight, right?

1109
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,400
Um, no, I'm not sure that
that's fair.It's definitely fair.

1110
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,400
Shall we go to the user reviews?

1111
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:49,160
Um, yes.So, one user I interviewed,
we'll call him Rick.

1112
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:52,760
Rick says he'll never forget
his first Genesis date.Uh-huh.

1113
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,920
He met this woman at her
million-dollar New York apartment,

1114
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,960
paid for by her father.

1115
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,120
Rick tells me, "Within minutes,
this woman had got naked.

1116
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,400
"Handed me her phone
and asked me to photograph her.

1117
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,000
"The app's incredible," says Rick.

1118
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,000
Er, well, I don't see the problem.
Sounds like they had a good time.

1119
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,920
Rick did.

1120
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,800
Oh, man. Sorry. What is this?
Is this for a quote or whatever?

1121
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,560
No, no, I have quotes.
But, I guess, to the point,

1122
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:22,600
what you've created here is a
playpen for beauty snobs, right?

1123
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,680
An online frat-house sorority
for star fuckers.

1124
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:28,160
I mean, like your girlfriend.

1125
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,880
Wait. What?There's nothing
wrong with that, per se.

1126
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,560
You don't know the first thing
about her.I mean sex as networking.

1127
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,440
Have you considered that that's
what's on the table here?OK.

1128
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:39,080
Um, you want my justification?

1129
01:04:39,120 --> 01:04:41,760
First dates have
always been reveals, right?

1130
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,840
Does a person appear to match who
they said they were on the internet?

1131
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,600
Are they as good-looking?
Do they really work at Conde Nast?

1132
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:51,160
Are they a creep? So I wanted
to end that period of scepticism.

1133
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,240
Now, is there anything
else pressing here

1134
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,000
because you seem to have
an agenda and I'm just...

1135
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,560
Can I ask you a question about Anna?

1136
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,680
Why? I thought this
was about the app.

1137
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:06,000
It'll take that in. But I was just
interviewing another founder here.

1138
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,320
He started the Dream Catcher app,
If you know it.No, it...

1139
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:10,560
It sounds stupid.

1140
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,480
Right. Well, this guy says he
knew an hour about a year ago.

1141
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:18,360
They toured art fairs together.
Her family's big in antiques.

1142
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:23,040
Antiques? No, her family's from oil.
Right.

1143
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,320
Sure. Anyway, this guy says
he paid her way around the world

1144
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:32,280
a couple of times, considered
investing in her foundation.

1145
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,680
But then, when he changes his mind

1146
01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:36,720
and starts trying
to recoup his money.

1147
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,320
He says he has some pretty
weird stories from her.

1148
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,080
Hold on. This article is about Anna?

1149
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,040
Tangentially.
And do I tell her about the time

1150
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:48,080
Anna skipped out on her hotel bill?

1151
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,040
Or the fact that I just
invested $900,000 of my money

1152
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:53,200
towards the lease on her gallery?
I do not.

1153
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,360
And, meanwhile, I'm touching down
in Sydney, when this hits

1154
01:05:56,400 --> 01:05:59,400
Ariel, it's Jed from Grigorian.

1155
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:01,600
Hey, hey, Jed.
Yeah, you awake?

1156
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,920
Er, very much so.
Captured the unicorn yet?

1157
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,320
Um, working on it.
I'm actually in Sydney right now.

1158
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,520
Just coming up to 3:15 in the a.m.

1159
01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,560
Right, right.
That's great. That's good, Ariel.

1160
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:14,080
I'm going to cut to the crap.
Yeah, let's... let's do that.

1161
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:18,000
Are you aware of what's
going on in New York?At Genesis?

1162
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,680
No, I'm 16 hours out. What's up?
Have you spoken to Marcus?

1163
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:24,360
He's not been in touch.
Is everything kosher?

1164
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,160
Listen, Ariel, it sounds like
something's a little wrong.

1165
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,920
And it becomes extremely clear
everything, not something, is wrong.

1166
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:34,960
What started as a minor glitch
in onboarding, vetting new clients,

1167
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,640
first means no new applications
are being processed.

1168
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,520
Then, suddenly,
everyone is allowed on.

1169
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:44,480
The vetting system is broke. All
applications accepted immediately.

1170
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,800
And in New York, no-one is picking
up to me and, at that moment,

1171
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,480
waiting to board a flight home,
who do I get a call from but...?

1172
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,840
Ariel?
Anna? Hey.

1173
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,960
Hi. Long time no speak.

1174
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,560
Where are you? I... I miss you.

1175
01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:01,040
Yeah, I'm at an airport in Sydney.

1176
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,680
Oh, that's nice.Got to get
a 21-and-a-half-hour flight.

1177
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,440
Yeah, you can watch so many movies.

1178
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,360
Yeah. I think I'm mainly
gonna be programming, actually.

1179
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,400
Oh, neat.

1180
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,520
Yeah. Anna, I'm in the middle of
a work thig, so...Could I see you?

1181
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,400
I'm in the departures
lounge in Australia.

1182
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,760
What's going on?
When you're back maybe. It's just...

1183
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,440
Look, I was... I was wondering
if you would consider

1184
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,400
making another investment
in my project.Investment.

1185
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,240
Or... Or...Ahh!
..an investment in me?

1186
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:33,200
(LAUGHS) What?
Or like... Or like a loan, maybe.

1187
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,440
It's just... I'm having
some cash-flow issues.Yeah.

1188
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,400
I already did invest
and the hotel, so...

1189
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:41,680
I thought we were having fun.
Yeah, sure.

1190
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,640
But what's that got to do with it?
I'm trying to do this thing here

1191
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,280
and it's really hard...
Anna, I'm running a business.

1192
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,800
So am I.Right.Look, Ariel,
I overdrafted my account a little.

1193
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,840
I just need...
Can you call your parents?

1194
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,640
They're not in the country.
They're in Africa, I think.Right.

1195
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,760
Um, Anna, flight's boarding.
Got to go.Ariel, I...

1196
01:07:58,800 --> 01:08:00,920
I didn't say this before
but I like you.

1197
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,880
You know, like, I actually
think I like you, like, for real.

1198
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,320
And I mean, I have no idea
what those words mean.

1199
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,840
And it's easy to lie
in another language, you know.

1200
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,320
Like, in the past,
"I love you, I like you,"

1201
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:14,280
but I don't know what other people
mean when they say those things.

1202
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,560
But I thought I hated you and

1203
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,440
now I feel like...
But you want me to give you money.

1204
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:24,840
Yes. Just for a little bit until I
get this loan.And you think what?

1205
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,560
You think I'm from the Hamptons?
You think I was born with this?

1206
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,800
No, but you have connections. You're
American. This is important.Anna.

1207
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,920
I'm in trouble!
I'm hanging up.Fuck!

1208
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:36,640
I fly American Airlines.
By the time I get to JFK,

1209
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:40,280
the company is tumbling and
arriving in an Uber to Williamsburg,

1210
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,040
I reflect that the value
of the company, my company,

1211
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,600
is founded entirely on reputation.

1212
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,200
Marcus!Dude.This gimp, this
fucktard, this Princeton dickhole...

1213
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:51,640
Dude, relax.The update,
how long is it gonna take?

1214
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:53,680
We're just struggling
to identify the problem.

1215
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,040
These things take a while.
How long?15 hours.

1216
01:08:56,080 --> 01:09:00,080
15 hours? Are you kidding me? That's
a lifetime. What the fuck happened?

1217
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,120
Oh, um...
Am I speaking in code?

1218
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:04,520
Or one of the many languages
you do not know?Um, man...

1219
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,600
Think it runs itself?
You think it comes out easy?

1220
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,440
Dude, we...Look out the window
at the grid system. You think what?

1221
01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:11,760
You think God designed that?
Did it happen by chance?

1222
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,320
Ariel.We run an operating system.
Everything is an operating system.

1223
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,680
It's your job to keep that going,
that continuity.

1224
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,600
Look, dude, I'm sorry but I mean...
For what?You weren't here.

1225
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:25,520
You took your eye off the ball. You
fucked the membership.Excuse me?

1226
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,560
Dude, have you not seen Twitter?

1227
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,120
And the same day,
same fucking day, the news broke.

1228
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:36,360
Socialite scammer arrested
on charges of grand larceny.

1229
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:39,160
Dude, isn't this your girlfriend?

1230
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:45,640
And the New York Post had
us pictured at Pace Gallery.

1231
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:50,040
A long feature followed,
"Duped tech CEO boyfriend."

1232
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,800
And my recollection of the next day.
the last day of May,

1233
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,120
was a dog on the tracks
of Williamsburg Bridge,

1234
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,240
delaying my subway home
for over an hour.

1235
01:09:58,280 --> 01:10:01,240
And the reason I remember this
is that I was on a journey back

1236
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,560
from an EGM with
our investors in Manhattan,

1237
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:07,120
where I'd been told,
"Brand value damaged.

1238
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:12,240
"Failing fast allows us all to move
on quickly and quietly. Next time."

1239
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,880
And just like that, warp speed,

1240
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,560
from the next big thing yesterday

1241
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,360
to yesterday's news today.

1242
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:30,120
So, I guess I could say I apologise

1243
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,440
for the mistakes I made.

1244
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:38,640
But, beyond that,
you criticise me for my actions.

1245
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,040
What they say about me.

1246
01:10:42,600 --> 01:10:47,400
My father said that I was
such a selfish character,

1247
01:10:47,440 --> 01:10:50,520
no-one could do anything about it.

1248
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,720
I was like that by nature.

1249
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:58,640
So, I guess you could say

1250
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,520
I'm not a good person.

1251
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,720
And you should be yourself.

1252
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:09,200
Authenticity isn't
necessarily telling the truth.

1253
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:14,320
And sometimes
it's necessary for an individual

1254
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,520
to stand out from the crowd.

1255
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,840
So I don't regret it... as such.

1256
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,480
And sometimes I sit in my room

1257
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:31,320
in the rain of my humiliation

1258
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,360
publicly

1259
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,760
and I feel really blessed...

1260
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,360
..for what I know is...

1261
01:11:40,480 --> 01:11:44,200
..it has been my great privilege
to come to your country,

1262
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,240
to speak your language

1263
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,280
and to be accepted into your hearts.

1264
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,960
I watched Anna's testimony
nine months later

1265
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,160
from my parents' living room
in St Louis.

1266
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,960
I lost my apartment.
I'd driven from the East Coast,

1267
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,000
didn't know when
I was gonna be back.

1268
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,720
She was facing three to eight years,

1269
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,160
having had a plea deal rejected.

1270
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:16,640
The judge cited lack of remorse.

1271
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:19,920
and the charge sheet was impressive.

1272
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:25,280
Fraud, grand larceny,
theft of services,

1273
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,960
all in pursuit of a loan
that would never materialise

1274
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,040
towards an arts foundation
that would never exist.

1275
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,080
She was one cheque away
from legitimacy.

1276
01:12:37,480 --> 01:12:40,960
Not long after, an article
appeared on Anna's story.

1277
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:45,560
She was from Ukraine, not Russia.

1278
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,600
Or France.

1279
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,480
Her father was a truck driver.

1280
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,560
And, as I read this article,
I looked up Anna's Instagram.

1281
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:02,880
It was still there.
Mausoleum to a fake life.

1282
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,200
The rain was steady out, news said
court was adjourning for the day

1283
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:11,400
and I switched on a video game that
my brother had bought a year before.

1284
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:14,560
It was a Western
about a gang of outlaws

1285
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,880
trying to outrun modernity.
And I realised

1286
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:20,720
that was the game
I'd wanted to make.

1287
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,600
A vast, detailed open world,

1288
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:28,480
a horizon slipping
ceaselessly from you.

1289
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:34,120
And it made me think about my work,
what that was for.

1290
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:37,880
All those companies,

1291
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:39,920
start-ups once,

1292
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:43,720
each with its story,
each with its once upon a time.

1293
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,240
Everyone the main character
on their journey.

1294
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:52,000
A name carved into
history against the grain.

1295
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:57,800
And so I decided to visit Anna.

1296
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,840
(LIGHTS BUZZ AND HUM)

1297
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:35,360
So the building sold.

1298
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:41,400
It went to some Scandinavian guys
making a photography museum.

1299
01:14:41,440 --> 01:14:44,280
(CHUCKLES) That's a shame.

1300
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:47,960
You could have come sooner.

1301
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,720
You took my money.

1302
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,760
You wanted me to.

1303
01:14:57,520 --> 01:14:59,840
Am I still on Genesis?

1304
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:04,960
You're still on. Yeah, people
don't really use it anymore

1305
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,200
but you're still on.

1306
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,800
Do I have a lot of matches?
Oh, yeah.

1307
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:13,600
You're a big deal now.

1308
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:17,560
You know, Damien Hirst says

1309
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:23,320
what I like is minimum effort
for maximum effect.

1310
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:26,400
I like this.

1311
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:28,960
You know, I always
thought of Damien Hirst

1312
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,800
as more of a businessman
than an artist.

1313
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,760
Exactly. Hmm!

1314
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,760
So, the app is not a thing anymore?

1315
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,280
Not really.

1316
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,280
It broke, my idea broke.

1317
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,520
I, er, took my eye off the ball.

1318
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:54,000
(SIGHS) I am actually
working on something new.

1319
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,360
Can I ask you something?

1320
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:05,000
Do you ever go to Moscow?
St Petersburg?

1321
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:08,160
No, I've never been to Russia.

1322
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:11,640
Not to the Metro stations?

1323
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:13,680
Never.

1324
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,720
All the other stuff?

1325
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,040
Not as such.

1326
01:16:23,480 --> 01:16:25,480
How's it here?

1327
01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:28,480
Not that bad.

1328
01:16:28,520 --> 01:16:31,440
Prison is not that bad
at all, actually.

1329
01:16:31,480 --> 01:16:35,080
I tend to see it as
a zoological experiment, kind of.

1330
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,240
The people here
are really fascinating.

1331
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:42,720
There are murderers and people
who steal other people's identities.

1332
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:47,720
It's OK.

1333
01:16:49,480 --> 01:16:51,480
I go to the library.

1334
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:57,040
People treat books carefully,
like dishes.

1335
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,080
You don't regret it?

1336
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:02,520
Like, any of it?

1337
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,600
I mean, didn't we have something?

1338
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,600
That's a cliche.

1339
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,840
Yeah.

1340
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,200
Well, I was enjoying it.

1341
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:24,320
You know, the night we met...

1342
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,360
..I did think that
things could be...

1343
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,400
I don't know.

1344
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:33,920
I felt...
High?

1345
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:35,800
Different.

1346
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,160
But everyone wants women
to apologise, right?

1347
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,760
I'm not saying that.

1348
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:44,800
Of course not.

1349
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:51,160
So, no, like, grand plan or...?

1350
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,200
Who says I don't have a plan?

1351
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:58,320
And the thing about this country
is it's a playground.

1352
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:03,280
If you lie in America and
it gets you where you want,

1353
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,880
you're an entrepreneur,
not a criminal.

1354
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:13,400
But where I'm from, it's like
one of the dark places on Earth.

1355
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:18,160
It's cold, they have
psychics, witches. It's hell.

1356
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:23,360
Because what do we have?
Crimean wine, a flat economy

1357
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,640
and girls who...

1358
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:30,560
who dream of being surrogate
wombs for American women.

1359
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:33,360
We have iron ore,
we have metal, we have coal

1360
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,120
and coal, OK,
coal does not want to be coal.

1361
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,520
It wants to be diamonds.

1362
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:43,400
So, if I could do it again, I would.

1363
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:45,760
I would do it more.

1364
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:53,280
Miss you.

1365
01:18:54,480 --> 01:18:56,840
(LAUGHS) I think.

1366
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,280
No. No, you miss the idea of me.

1367
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,360
The concept.

1368
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,840
Isn't that like love?

1369
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:16,040
Ariel.

1370
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,680
Do you want to play a game?

1371
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,520
(CHUCKLES)

1372
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,600
Sure.

1373
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:46,600
My turn or yours?
Yours.

1374
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:52,160
My.

1375
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,480
Unbearable.

1376
01:19:56,480 --> 01:19:58,480
Snowflake.

1377
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,080
Dream.

1378
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,560
OK. Period.

1379
01:20:08,360 --> 01:20:12,720
Period?
What kind of sentence is that?

1380
01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,840
My unbearable snowflake dream.

1381
01:20:19,480 --> 01:20:22,000
No, that's it. That's great.

1382
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,320
Perfect.

1383
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:29,680
(APPLAUSE)

1384
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:31,720
(CHEERING)

1385
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,360
# I love the games you play

1386
