♪ Oh, cariño ♪
♪ Desde que nos conocimos ♪
♪ No puedo dormir ... ♪
Me gustaría ver a mi hijo feliz y tranquilo.
Ha tenido dos relaciones muy cercanas,
así que creo que tiene miedo de volver a poner su corazón allí para que se rompa de nuevo.
¿Eh, cómo te va?
♪ Y no quiero irme a casa ... ♪
Conozco a Brandon desde hace unos años,
y creo que está muy concentrado
en busca del hombre adecuado
que extraña a los grandes tipos que están justo en frente de él.
Es sarcástico y se burlará de ti.
pero también es probablemente la persona más amable que he conocido,
y no sé si ha encontrado una coincidencia que pueda complementarlo en ambos sentidos.
Ha sido muy difícil para él
encuentra el correcto, pero estoy seguro de que está en algún lado.
Ojalá encuentre el verdadero amor pronto.
Hola.
Oye.
¿Eres mi cita?
Estoy. Soy justin
Justin, encantado de conocerte.

Estoy emocionado, ya sabes, de conocerte más.
Si. En ello.
¿Si? Veamos qué más te gusta, entonces.

Me gusta tu pequeño bolso. ¿O es un embrague?
Yo diría que es un embrague.
Siempre tengo que tener un embrague.

¿Como estas?
¿Hola! Cómo estás?

- Gracias. Hola, Ronald.
Hola, Brandon. - Te ves lindo.
Sí, me vestí solo.
- Es una especie de cosa. - ¿Finalmente?
Sí, sabes, mamá dejó de hacerlo por mí.

- ¿Como has estado? - Haciendo bien.
- ¿Cómo estás? - Estoy bien.
¿Qué hay de nuevo?
Esta.
- ¿Esta? Si. - Esto es bonito. Si. Me gusta esto.
Recuerdo la primera vez que te conocí
- Y recuerdo lo guapo que eras. - Nos conocimos, como ...
Este será el tercer Mardi Gras,
Pero fue hace dos Mardi Gras. - Hace dos Mardi Gras.
Estoy tan contenta de que seas tú. Estoy feliz.
- ¿Si? - Si.
- Bueno. - Te ves guapo.
- Lo intento. - Me gusta esto.
¿Has estado aquí antes?
¿Un par de veces?
Escuché que está embrujado.
- ¿Lo es? - Eso fue lo que oí.
- Bueno. Estará bien. - Alguien fue asesinado arriba.
Si voy al baño y no regreso, sabrás por qué.
Me imagino que te habrías ido.
Tienes lindos ojos.
Gracias lo aprecio.
Si, vale.
Si.
- ¿Eres de Nueva Orleans? - Estoy.
- Bueno. - Si.
- Nacido y criado. ¿Que pasa contigo? - No soy de aqui.
Yo, eh ... Nací en el norte del estado de Nueva York pero crecí en Ohio ...
- Bueno. - ... y una especie de mocoso militar,
Se movió un poco.
Soy de Memphis originalmente.
- Memphis? Bueno. - Si.
¿Cuándo te mudaste a Nueva Orleans?
Inicialmente, a finales de 1998.
Ha sido un tiempo.
De hecho, vine a visitar a algunos amigos ...
- Bueno. - ... y de alguna manera atrapé el error.
También, como, me fui a hervir cangrejo de río.
¿Ya sabes? Y obtuve algunas de esas experiencias auténticas de Nueva Orleans
que, como ...
¿Comes langosta?
Oh, como cangrejos de río.
¿Sabes cómo comerlos correctamente?
- Me enseñó un cajún. - Bueno.
AKA, mi ex novio.
- Ah, vale. - OMS,
como, me enseñaron la forma correcta,
y chupar las cabezas y todo eso, así que ...
Todo bien. Entonces te enseñó bien.
Creo que lo hizo, creo que lo hizo.
Probablemente más de lo que necesitas.
Sí, probablemente sea así.
- Es bueno saberlo. Um ... - Sí
¿Estás involucrado en algo, como,
fuera de, como, ¿qué haces?
- Si. - No te he preguntado eso. ¿Qué haces?
Vamos a ir primero.
Entonces soy el director creativo de una agencia.
- Bien, de acuerdo. - Sí
Uh, es un montón de, como, correr,
algo estresado, y luego tratando de hacer una mierda.
Entonces me estoy peinando.
Agradable. Puedo decir que se ve muy bien.
Gracias. Casi diez años.
No se mueve
- Muchas gracias. - De nada.
- Puedes ayudarme con la mía. - No
- Espera, que haces? - Soy maestra.
- Oh wow. - Si.
- Bueno. - Me encanta.
- ¿Qué grado? - Jardín de infancia.
¿Qué?
Eso es gracioso.
- ¿Te gustan los niños? - Entonces también soy director creativo
de niños
Estoy corriendo como si estuviera estresado también.
Sabes, estamos creando cosas.
Debes amar a los niños.
- Hago. - Eso es genial.
- ¿Que pasa contigo? - Yo amo a los niños.
Puedes ser el héroe de alguien todo el tiempo
- ¿ya sabes? - Correcto.
Siento que los niños necesitan un campeón,
y puedes ser esa persona, lo cual es genial.
- Guau. - Si.
Dios mío, me encanta.
Bueno, que estas buscando?
Quiero decir, todos buscan lo mismo, ¿verdad?
- No lo creo. - ¿De Verdad?
No, he conocido a algunas personas que no están buscando eso.
- Te sorprenderias. - Bien bien.
Me siento como...
En última instancia, estoy buscando un compañero.
- Bueno. - Como, quiero ...
Alguien con quien estaré mucho tiempo.
- Bueno. Eso es genial. - ¿Que pasa contigo?
- Igual - Bueno.
Supongo que ahora estoy en la etapa de mi vida donde es como,
- Yo también quiero el siguiente paso. - Bueno.
Si.
- Hay alineación allí, supongo. - Mm-hmm.
No sé si recuerdas mi perfil de Tinder.
No sé, me deslicé a la izquierda.
No, te deslizaste hacia la derecha, porque coincidimos,
y enviamos un mensaje, así que no ...
No juegues, porque puedo retirar los recibos ahora si lo necesito.
Um, pero eso también fue hace tres años,
así que quizás no lo recuerdes. La demencia se establece.
Cierra tu boca. Cierra tu boca.
¿Te gustan las aceitunas con queso azul?
Eso responde tu pregunta?
¿Olivos? ¿No te gustan las aceitunas?
Amo una aceituna.
Hay algo con una aceituna de queso azul ...
- ¿De Verdad? - Queso azul ... Sí.
Quiero decir, y para cada uno lo suyo, como que ...
te hace feliz.
¿Quieres continuar esta conversación en la mesa?
Hago.
Pero primero voy a comer mi aceituna con queso azul.
De acuerdo, vamos.
Ugh, asqueroso.
Es tan bueno.
Ese fue tu último.
Please don't order anything blue cheese tonight.
Are you hungry?
I am kind of hungry. Are you hungry?
I'm starving.
I mean, I won't say starving, but definitely hungry.
- I heard the food's really good here. - Yeah?
I heard good things.
Take your little shawl off.
Now, you know, like, I'm almost jealous,
or, like, wish I had enough confidence, like, to be this.
It's like, how does this happen?
It's taken me a long time to
- be comfortable in my own skin. - 'Kay.
But now I'm just kind of like,
I wear what I want to wear, I want to do what I want to do.
And then if that person comes along
that wants to be... have the Jonathan experience, then great.
But if they don't, then their loss.
The Jonathan experience?
Let's rewind and elaborate. What is the Jonathan experience?
Do you have your own website?
- Is this like a catering company? - No, just this. The Jonathan experience.
What's your story?
Uh...
So, yeah, I grew up in a single-parent household.
Mom, uh, kicked ass and...
I can tell.
She did a really damn good job.
I'll have to thank her.
Um...
Hello, there. I'll be your server this evening.
Amazing. Thank you.
- How are you? - Fantastic, thank you.
- There's some water for you. - Thank you.
Do you know what you want, Ronald?
Um, can I do the shrimp cocktail?
Can we share that, or do you want to get two?
- Absolutely, we could share. - Okay, let's share that.
- Yes. - Um, and then for dinner,
I'm gonna go with the iceberg wedge salad
with the grilled shrimp, and no blue cheese, please.
Um, I'm going to do the iceberg wedge salad...
- Okay. - ...with blue cheese.
I had really big ears as a kid.
- Uh-huh. - Like, my head was really small.
So all you'd see walking down...
All you saw walking down the street was these big satellites.
It was like, I had every...
Everything in the book they would tell me, like,
- "You catch satellite HBO?" - Oh, no!
They would call me Dumbo, and...
I remember going home crying,
and my dad would be like, "It's okay, it's okay."
He's like, "Son,
if anyone tells you have Dumbo ears, just say,
'You know, I may be Dumbo, but I'm packing a jumbo.'"
- Come on, Dad. - I swear to God. I'm like,
"I don't think you should be telling me this.
I'm 12."
If it was, um... the right situation, I absolutely would love to have kids.
- Yeah. - I want the whole package.
I want what... You know, my parents had that.
My parents were... My stepmom and my dad were married for 35 years,
and I see that that could... It's possible.
- I feel the same way. - Yeah.
- Obviously, I love kids. Um... - Yeah.
But again, you need that person in your life
who wants to go to that next level.
I want to be wholeheartedly committed to someone,
or a group of people. Um...
Are you into, like, thruples,
- open relationships? - I don't know. Never done it.
But would I be open to doing it? Absolutely.
- Okay. All right. - Absolutely.
So it's important for me to be with somebody that can express themselves...
- Mm-hmm. - ...and have an opinion about things,
and, like, be passionate about anything.
Like, whether it's teaching children...
or whether it's...
Whatever it is, I want somebody to have that kind of fire
and that passion, or, like, know where they stand.
Why do you think you're still single?
I think that a lot of people, they get base level Ronald,
but until I'm very comfortable in a situation,
you're not gonna get, like--
Why do people get base-level Ronald?
I always feel like I get base-level Ronald.
Why-- Why would I share
more than base-level Ronald with you until I get to know you?
- That's how you build relationships-- - That's also how you get hurt.
But what's wrong with getting hurt?
What's wrong with getting hurt? A lot of things.
I know, but I feel like we build as people when we get hurt sometimes.
I agree. I wholeheartedly agree. However,
I also...
The person that I am is not going to feel comfortable sharing
with someone until they get to that level.
How long do I have to be in your life before you get to that level?
- Well, who knows? - Fifteen, 20?
Brandon, you could be in my life for two more days and get to that level,
the way you're pushing.
I mean, that's why I'm pushing.
I mean, maybe.
How was your meal?
It was really good.
- Mine was good, too. - I enjoyed it.
Yeah? You want to go get a drink somewhere else?
Yeah, I'd like that.
Yeah? Me too.
- Ready? - Yeah, let's do it.
Can I smoke a cigarette?
I know. I'm sorry.
It's like one of my...
I mean, it's not a pet peeve.
I mean, you got to do you, but, yeah, go ahead.
It's not like my hugest...
- Turn-offs? - You do you, it's fine.
Yeah, it's one of my turn-offs, but that's you, right?
- Mm-hmm. - You gotta make yourself happy.
- That's your, like, after-dinner mint? - Mm-hmm.
Smoking a cigarette?
- I know. I know. - It's kind of a deal-breaker,
'cause, like, I'm not, like, really attracted to it.
So no cigarettes, no blue cheese.
Any pets?
So, pets, I love pets.
- Do you have any? - No.
- Unfortunately not. No. - Do you have a plant?
So, my plant, Edgar,
- I kept him alive... - Hold... Whoa, whoa.
First of all, you named the plant. Go ahead, go ahead, I'm listening.
So...
I kept Edgar alive for about a year and a half.
What was Edgar before he died, evidently?
I don't know what he was.
Was he, like, a tree? Was he a flower?
You have no idea?
It was just, like, a little plant.
- Obviously I feel like-- - I definitely agree.
- I'm very attracted to you. - I agree.
And it's just like, hmm...
What do we do about it?
What's holding it back?
Yeah, that, too. What's holding it back?
Honestly, I feel like it's New Orleans in general,
because I feel like if you make one wrong turn or one wrong move,
your entire social life, your entire life in general,
just blows up, because everybody is in everybody's business.
I get that, but, like...
I mean, we're not talking about dating the entire city.
We're just talking about, you know, two people.
- You and me? - Yeah, you know, I mean...
You know?
Um, yeah, I mean, I think you're a great guy and all, I just
kind of feel like we're on different pages.
- Yeah. - Or want different things,
but I really, like, enjoyed this experience, and, like...
- Me, too. - I had a good time, and I feel like
maybe I'll bring some cheetah out
- into my life next time. - Yes!
You definitely brought that little spice out, that little sass.
Like, I appreciate, like...
I appreciate it. I appreciate you.
- I appreciate you. - All right.
Thank you.
- Bye. - Let's get you inside.
Okay.
Be careful heading home.
- Oh, I will. - Don't stop at any stranger's house.
Bye.
You look very... nervous right now.
- Do I? - Why are you nervous?
I'm not nervous.
I just, like...
You are trouble,
- and I can sense that you're trouble. - There's nothing wrong with that.
Sometimes if you can't be good, you can be good at it.
- Right. - Be good at it.
I'm good at lots of things.
I hate you so much in this moment right now.
- Why? - Because--
- Because you're vulnerable? - I see what you're doing.
- I'm not doing anything. - I pick up what you're putting down.
What am I putting down?
Funny.
Terrible human being.
What am I doing?
What are you doing right now?
I'm just trying to make a connection with someone.
I hate you so much. You're...
You're trouble.
- I'm not. - And you know you're trouble.
- I'm not trouble. - You know you're trouble.
Was that too hard?
Yes. The most difficult thing I'll do in 2019.
I... I hate you so much.
Trouble.
Big trouble.
You wanna go get a drink?
Yeah, let's go.
But see?
If you just stop talking for a few minutes, it wouldn't be so bad.
If I just stop talking?
- This is really nice, huh? - It's really beautiful. Yeah.
Kind of like Gone with the Wind fabulous.
Yeah.
Actually, grab a couple drinks, be right back?
- Yeah, nice. - Yeah? One second.
There you go, sir.
- Oh, nice, yeah. - Very nice. Very nice.
Come around this way.
- I'll try not to spill it. - I'll wait for you to sit.
Look at you, that's alcohol abuse right there.
- Look at you! - I can't help it, it's a mess.
What's wrong with you?
- Cheers. - All right, cheers.
- That is a very, very high pour. - Mmm.
And someone who can complement you...
Mm-hmm.
...bring something, a little spice.
Yes.
A good Cajun boy.
I-- I think a good Cajun boy
- could do that. - I have a few friends.
Okay. Can you introduce me?
All right, that's cool. No big deal.
- I'm just making fun. - No, that's cool.
So do you feel like whenever you find that relationship,
do you think that you lose a part of yourself or no?
Mm-mm.
I've lost a part of myself in, like, past relationships.
And I've found, like, what makes me happy again,
and I feel like I'm at a good point in my life now
- where, like, I won't lose that again. - Yeah.
Like, it's a part of me.
- I get that. - How about you?
I get that. Well, I have nothing to base that off of.
- You've never been in a relationship? - Mm-mm.
Ever?
- Relationships are terrifying. - Mm-hmm.
And I think people get bored, people get complacent and those things,
and they lose sight of themselves.
And, um...
From my experience.
You don't have any experience, so how do you know?
I have no experience of my own relationships.
Just other people? People-watching?
No, not even people-watching.
I have first-hand experience in other people's relationships.
- That sounds like a good story. - From my younger days.
- Okay. Yes. - Yeah, we won't... From my younger days.
So do you want another?
- I think I'm good with one. - Okay, all right.
- Perfect. - One after-dinner drink is enough.
- Perfect. - I'll wait till you finish drinking yours.
Um, then we might be here for a minute.
- I'm actually enjoying the company, so... - You're going slow?
- Yeah. - Okay.
You don't have to rush through everything. Just kinda...
You're really cute.
You're really cute, too.
- You think so? - I do think so.
I'm glad you do.
- I had a really good time tonight. - Yeah?
Yeah, you know...
Look at those palms.
Like, dark lines. Mine are, like, very light.
- Lots of things fit together, I see. - Yeah.
So,
you asked me earlier, um...
- where I live. - Yeah.
And I live in Lower Garden District, but...
Very recently, I got a job in Austin.
Nice.
- So... - That's awesome. Congrats for you.
Yeah.
When are you moving?
- Soon. - Yeah?
Tomorrow?
- Soonish. - Like, after this?
Do you need me to help you pack?
You're gonna help me pack?
I like to organize.
- You ready to go? - Yeah, absolutely.
- You want to walk downstairs? - Sure.
Let me put these back for us, before I spill the rest.
'Cause you'll probably spill it.
Yeah, exactly. I'll do my best.
- Are you ready? - Yeah, let's go.
You dropping me off?
Yeah, you know.
That's how I roll.
I appreciate that.
- Thank you. - I like your beard.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a little red.
- It's a little red. - You got a little ginger in you?
Yeah, I do.
Do this again?
I hope so.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Okay.
Do you wanna get my number, should I get your number?
- Yeah. - Do you have your phone?
Yeah.
Your hand's getting dangerously close to my inner thigh.
I mean...
I like when you get nervous, what it does to your laugh.
That's my normal generic laugh.
- It's not a nervous laugh. - I know, but it's a really good laugh.
So...
Oh, God.
When you were like, "I'm moving to Austin," I'm like, "Oh...
- This is what's wrong with him." - I'm sorry.
This is what's wrong.
Why does everything have to be... Why does it have to be so complicated?
Why can't it just be so easy?
All right, Lauryn Hill.
- I'm sorry. - It's fine. It's not your fault.
I was happy for you that you're moving to Austin and you're doing...
big boss stuff.
Estaré atrapado en Nueva Orleans y ...
Por qué...
Entonces, ¿por qué lo haces?
Y esta es tu parada.
Muy bien, entonces, en esa nota ...
- Gracias. - Sí, definitivamente.
¿Podemos hacer esto de nuevo pronto?
Yo espero que sí.
- Escríbeme. - Sí, claro.
- Adiós. - Adiós.
Envíame un mensaje de texto cuando llegues a casa.
- Lo pensare. - UH Huh.
Lo pensarás.
Es mejor que suceda. Si no, sé dónde vives.
- Adiós, Ronald. - Adiós, nos vemos luego.
Todo bien.
No te olvides de mi.
No lo haré
Ya veremos.
Tienes una buena risa. Uno mas.
- De acuerdo, tienes que irte. - Todo bien.
Buenas noches.

Hola.
- Oye. - ¿Cómo estás?
Te ves linda.
Te ves bien también.
Lo intento a veces.
Así que sé que te estás preparando para partir en una nueva aventura a Austin.
- Si. - Pero antes de hacerlo,
Quería enviarte con dos clásicos de Nueva Orleans.
¿Que es eso?
Número uno, algunos beignets.
Y luego el segundo ...
soy yo.
Te ves muy linda. ¿Quieres ir a escuchar algo de música?
Me gustaria eso.
