Right? Cutting.
Like Bonnie and Clyde, huh? You two against the world.
Confidence. Confidence. Just talk to her.
I don't really get parties.
You know, you just kind of turn up and it's, uh, it's enforced fun, all night.
Talk about what TV shows you've fallen behind on.
Pretend to be happy. [scoffs]
Maybe everyone else enjoys it, maybe it's just me?
It's definitely not just you.
All right, good start. Now do some more outsider small talk.
And keep looking at her. I need to gauge her reactions.
So I noticed you sitting alone on the edge and I, uh...
I thought, "Hey, kindred spirit."
I really hate when people say "kindred spirit", you know.
And people that do that.
- Me too. - [chuckles]
Yeah, I guess you don't really like parties either.
The noise wrecks it for me.
All the talking and talking, it never fucking stops.
OK, she curses, so should you.
Shit, fucking, I fucking always totally think that it's fucking shit. You know?
I can't think through all the babble.
I only got through it last year because I was on drugs.
[laughs]
I'm sorry, what's that? What's that?
Just, like, pills, but
they must've been pretty strong because I actually enjoyed myself.
- That's cool. - Don't say cool.
- I wish I had some drugs right now. - No, you don't.
I'm just... I'm joking.
I don't take them anymore.
- Say, "That's good." - That's good, because you don't...
You don't need that shit in your system, no.
I'd say she's a level four rock chick.
Semi-reformed. Probably respond well to spiritual conversation.
I don't think I can face fucking weeks of that. I might bail, boys.
OK, look, it's too public here.
Ask if you can move someplace quieter, where you can really talk.
People want to be heard. That's why 90 per cent of seduction is just listening.
[man] Or at least pulling a face like you're listening.
Yeah, that works, too.
The important thing is to make them feel important.
Like they can make you want to extinguish the rest of the world
and focus on them.
Full attention.
Like you're not giving me now. What's wrong?
- that clock. - What about it?
I just... I just never noticed it before.
[scoffs] In five years? Jesus.
Anyway, the point is to stay locked in on them long enough
to build a rapport.
So, well, I would guess that either every guy in there
has already tried to hit on you or, uh, maybe they find you too intimidating.
- Am I intimidating? - No, no, no, no, no. I'm just, uh...
No, I just imagine that they all kind of want to get in inside your...
- Head. - ...head.
[chuckles] Some of them have tried.
Not directly.
They send messages, or they make it so you know what they're thinking.
Yeah. That can't be fun.
It's just tiring, you know. It just doesn't end, ever.
[Harry] I wouldn't know, I never hit on anyone.
- [Jennifer] Really? - OK, uh...
- Ask her how long she's worked there. - Um...
[Harry] How long have you worked for...
- Magson Frank. - ...Magson Frank.
- Three years. - Oh, wow. So Three Christmas parties.
This will be my last.
- Oh, Really? are you leaving? - Mm-hm.
I've been planning it forever, but you know what it's like.
You know you have to do it, but when it comes right down to it,
it's hard to work up the courage.
You can empathize with that.
Yeah. It's like when you want to jump into a pool,
and you're worried that the water's going to be cold.
But you know moments after you jump in that it'll be fine.
It's the fear of the shock that holds you back.
Ultimately, the only thing you're worried about is the transition
from one state to another.
And that can't hurt you because it's... it's just a state change.
Great stuff, kid. Almost word-for-word.
That's exactly right, it's just a state change.
Right. And it's frustrating because
you've always got these ten voices in your head saying, "Don't do it"
and another ten in your head saying, "Do it".
Which one do you listen to?
The "do it"s.
Really?
Yeah. If you don't like it, you can just cut and run, you know.
Get it over and done with.
You're right. I will.
[chuckles]
Well... to changing states.
- To changing states. - [liquid sloshing]
- [Harry laughs] Ooh! - [Jennifer] Ooh! Sorry.
- She touched his knee. - She touched his fucking knee!
Gentlemen, gentlemen, please, please.
Harry, you're doing great. Ask her if she would like another drink.
Listen, let me get you another drink.
[chuckles] Let me think. I just need the loo a sec.
