Nate: A One Man Show

I have never seen anything like it.

It broke my brain in a really good way.

It'll be something you'll wanna talk about.

Painfully awkward.

There were points that were really uncomfortable for me.

When I have seen the show in its entirety,

people are genuinely confused and sometimes mad.

And that's art, baby.

My ex...

...she...

She just broke up with me.

And I asked her everything.

I asked before I kissed her.

I asked her before I ate her pussy.

Damn.

I miss that tuna casserole.

I...

I even asked her to...

take my gam-gam's ring.

But she said no.

Come on, Nate.

Express yourself.

Come on, Nate.

Express yourself.

Wow.

So, that's what crying feels like.

I don't know if I'll ever find love again.

Although, I have started noticing my art teacher, Miss Jackson.

I'm taking this Adult Night Painting class over the local middle school.

You know the one.I

So, I guess I could use some relationship advice.

Anybody here in a relationship?

Who's here with their partner right now?

Who's here with their partner right now?

Keep them up.

Let's see.

You pointing at those guys?

You two?

Are you together?

- Yeah. -Right on.

-How's it going? -Good. How are you?

I'm all right.

Little heartbroken, but all right.

First off-- What's up, man?

-I'm Nate. -I'm Noah.

-What was that? -Noah.

Noah, pleasure.

-LaCroix? -Sure.

Here you go.

So, how long have you two been together?

Seven months.

Seven months?

Wow.

That's incredible.

So, what's it take to keep the spark alive?

Laughter...

honesty.

Laughter and honesty.

Wow.

All right. I'll keep that in mind.

I'm so sorry. Actually, I never got your name.

You didn't ask me before, but it's Helen.

Yeah, I'm so sorry I didn't ask you.

It's Kellen?

It's Helen. H-E-L-E-N.

-Helen? - Yeah, you got it.

Oh.

Probably couldn't understand 'cause it's actually pronounced "He-lain."

It's Gaelic.

But whatever. It's your name. Say it how you want.

Even though you're saying it wrong.

I just...

I know 'cause my ex's name was Helen.

So...

It's crazy.

Such a rare name.

Where are you from?

Mount Vernon.
