So, what's your film about anyway? I'm still figuring it out. Uh, my drawing teacher asked a few of us to enter an animation project. Oh, that's cool. I didn't know you draw. What kind of stuff?

[Nadine] Look at these. Wow. Damn, Erwin. Yeah, this is, uh, mostly unfinished. Uh, this doodling mostly. Um, but not quite where I-- Oh. I-- I think I've found my favorite. Yeah, my, uh-- my parents love that one too. -Do they? -No, they don't. No, they're very conservative. No, they don't. Wow. They're both you, right? Yeah. I'm multifaceted.

Man. Wow. Uh-- Man, Erwin, you're really good. Do you, um, you know, wanna come on Saturday? To see the film. It's early in the morning, super inconvenient, so... I hope you say yes. You can take time to think about it. I don't expect an answer, like, right now, 'cause that would be rude. That's a lot of pressure. So... just laying it out there. Yeah, I'd love to come.

Oh. Okay. Are your parents going? I can just sit with them. My parents are in Korea for three months. They won't make it. Are you serious? You've had this whole place to yourself for three months? Yay.

No, I get it. It's a big house. You're bored. You know what you need? You need someone to rob you so you can reenact Home Alone. That is-- That is exactly what I need. Thank you. [chattering]

Thank you. You can just loop around up here. No, no, no. I'm going to work, and you're coming with me. My boss isn't going to be happy about it, and you're the one that gets to explain it to him.

Can I have this hole punch? Give that to me. I want you to just sit there for the next eight hours and don't touch anything and don't make any noise.

I love how you refer to him as your husband. He is my husband. You can run off and get a new husband. What he is is my dad. Can you just say that occasionally? Fine. We're not talking about him right now, 'cause it's just too upsetting. "And too hard and too sad and it gives me a cluster headache." I know. Oh, my God. You have no compassion. Actually, I'm just bored, because I know everything you're going to do before you do it. -Sure you do. -Oh, you don't believe me? No, I don't. I'm gonna write down the next thing you're gonna say to me. -I'm not gonna play-- -[together] Your little games, Nadine.
