I Blame Society

Yeah, I just...

I thought it would look good here.

It's not like... the documentary is not about roofs.

Oh, it's not?

I was under the impression it was about roofs.

Well, if it's not about roofs then, I mean.

I'll tell you...

I'll tell you when the camera turns on.

Okay.

Yeah, I mean, like, don't be nervous.

I'm not nervous.

I think you're gonna think this is really cool.

I think you really gonna like it.

I hope I have the answers you're looking for.

I think you're the expert.

Is it about, like, panic attacks, or...

Writer's block?

Is your phone off?

Oh. No.

I am filming this, but don't worry.

You'll understand why in a minute.

- Okay. - Is that okay?

- Sure. - Great.

So the reason I brought you up to this roof

is because I'm filming a documentary

based on a compliment given to me by Scott and Stephanie.

And as you know, they don't offer compliments lightly.

Right.

Basically, they told me that I would make a good murderer.

Huh. Yeah, I can see that.

So I've filmed some fun stuff,

but I haven't done the climax yet.

And what I'd really like to do is to film a scene

where I would walk people through how I would commit

the perfect murder.

Okay. Cool, I like it.

So first things first, I would need a good victim

and it's really hard to pick the right person.

But I was thinking if I had to pick someone

I'd want somebody that I could justify.

Somebody that I know who has done some awful things

and has really hurt people that I cared about

- who didn't deserve it. -

And I was thinking about you and your girlfriend.

You don't have to worry 'cause on camera so far,

I've given you guys code names.

I know it's kind of shocking

that she is the most unkind person in the world

I know personally.

But it makes sense because somebody has to be.

And, um, it's her.

I guess I just have never seen or even heard about

anybody being as cruel to anyone else

for the worst reasons as her.

Uh...

So, I was wondering, what I'd like to do

is to come over to your place with Olivia and the camera.

And we would say that we were doing a location scout

and we were there to measure stuff and get some pictures.

But the whole time

I'd be wearing a mask.

Like a scary animal mask.

And I just wouldn't explain why.

And, I'll be walking around and I'll be looking

at your place and I'll be talking to the camera

and I'll say things like,

"Here's a good window where I could come in."

Or I'll point out that there are locks on the bedroom doors.

And that would be a challenge, blah, blah, blah.

Just, you know, narrate to the camera

this hypothetical murder, and then leave.

I-I'm not pitching this right.

Gillian, are you... are you fucking serious?

I'm not sure I understand corre...

Like, you're asking me to come over to my house...

Yeah.

And let you walk through

how you would murder my girlfriend?

It's just theoretical.

It's not how I really would do it or would want to do it.

It's just hypothetically how it would be done.

Like, do you get how fucked up that is?

Like on countless levels?

What is your problem with ?

Uh, I just don't think it's okay

that she's so emotionally abusive and manipulative.

Uh, like when she destroyed your only means

of earning a living when she threw your laptop out a window.

But that was...

And there were scripts on there that you never recovered.

That was, like, a really low point for both of us.

And she felt really bad and she replaced it.

'Cause she could hopefully afford to buy you a new Mac,

but she can't ever make up the stuff that you had on there.

And I just don't think there's any excuse

to ever do anything like that,

to somebody that you say that you love.

You don't know anything about our relationship

and you don't know her.

People don't throw other people's computers

out of windows.

Otherwise, there would be computers all over the place

because lots of people are in relationships.

You'd see broken laptops down the street...

You don't anything about our relationship.

It's true. You don't know her.

You don't know what's

- going on with us. - I know her.

I don't understand where this is coming from.

Like, she does not feel this way about you.

She really likes you.

She's always disliked me.

- No. - It's bullshit.

She would talk shit about me in school,

- and I barely knew her. - Oh, God.

In school?

Like 10 years ago? 12 years ago?

I mean, I didn't really care about it

because who the fuck cares what she thought?

Yeah, it seems like you really didn't care about it at all.

Well, she brought my mom into it.

What the... your mom?

I'm not kidding.

She, like, couldn't believe that my mother

would let me, like, make such disturbing films.

- What... she did not say that. - No, she did.

She does not care about

what kind of films you made.

- It's just really uncalled for. - Pbbt.

Like I needed to ask my mommy for permission.

- Give me a break. Like... - No, that's true.

- That's not... - That really happened.

I don't believe you.

Look, I don't care

what she thinks about me.

What I care about is how she treats you.

Oh, my God, dude.

I feel like I have opened up to you

and told you stuff in confidence that you're now bringing up

in a context that is completely, like...

I mean, the context I'm talking about

is just the facts.

No, it's the context of, like, you inviting me here

and putting me on camera and bringing up

all this personal shit that I've shared with you.

I'm... I'm sorry. I...

Like, I'm never gonna be able to tell her about this,

I'm just gonna have to keep it a secret, I guess.

So now I have this secret from her,

and I'm gonna feel incredibly guilty about it

all the time.

And I already feel like...

I'm sorry.

It's just putting me in, like, an insane position.

I'm so... I'm sorry.

Oh, sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Look, I... I don't kn... I just don't...

I just don't like to see her doing this to you.

Okay. I just... I don't know

if you...

if you really understand how fucked up this is

and like what position it's putting me in.

- - But I, uh...

I don't... I don't know.

I'm so sorry.

I just fucked up everything.

Do you want to cut?

Cut.

Hello?

Aaron?

Hey, Gillian. How's it going?

Um, fine.

Is this supposed to be a video call?

I'm just seeing your ear.

Oh, shit, really?

Yeah.

Do you wanna rearrange things

and give me a call back?

No, it's okay. This won't take too long.

Oh.

I thought we were finally talking about

"The Young Ambassadors."

Did you read the script?

Yeah, I did.

Okay.

I'm still just seeing your ear,

and it's just like really funny to just keep talking to you.

Gillian, it's really great.

I just don't think I can do anything with it.

I don't understand.

Um, it's the exact same thing

that I pitched to you in February

in your office, scene for scene.

And you said that you loved it

and that you couldn't wait to read it.

It's really, really well-written, very funny.

It's just, Israel is such a political topic.

- Yeah. - And Robin,

she's just not really likable.

It's on me.
