Hey, hey, hey, sorr- [stammers] Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
Sadie
Shit.
Hi. Hi.
Sadie
Yep... [sighs] ...it's me. Sorry. Just, uh... [Motions to her to roll down window]
Sadie
Are you here to rescue the plant?
No. No, I'm not. That's funny. Um, no, I was just... Well, I was just wondering if you wanted to, um, you know, go out sometime.
Sadie
Are you serious?
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I... I mean, I know we were kind of... arguing back there...
Sadie
Mm-hmm.
But I thought that, uh, underneath it, there was, uh... um... something.
Sadie
Something?
Yeah.
Sadie
I'm wrong, aren't I? Well, this is embarrassing. Um... Sorry, sorry. I misread it. [Walks away]
Sadie
Hmm. [She honks her horn and makes a come-here gesture] I can use a coffee.
A coffee? You want to get a... Yeah. Like, now?
Sadie
Yes, now. [Chuckles] Get in.
Yeah, well... Yeah. [Chuckles] Yeah. [Gets in] I'm Cole, by the way.
Sadie
Mm-hmm. Seat belt.
Yep, yep, yep. [Does up belt] Sorry. [Sighs] I'll just hang on. [Chuckles] Okay.
...
Sadie
I like the canal. It reminds me of Amsterdam.
So, art curators travel a lot?
Sadie
Oh, yeah. All over the world. I love it. Just jumping on a plane, moment's notice, and then, you know, stepping out into a new place.
Wow.
Sadie
Oh, gosh, don't tell me you're one of those big, tough guys who's afraid to leave the country.
Okay, first of all, thank you for calling me big and tough. Let's keep that going. And I travel. I travel a lot.
Sadie
Really?
Yeah. Yeah, I think the trips that you plan the least are the ones that give you the most.
Sadie
I agree.
...
Lincoln got shot just across the street, and he died right next door.
Sadie
Sounds like you're a big fan of Lincoln.
Well, history in general. I majored in agriculture, but I minored in history. That's my real passion.
Sadie
Huh.
You know, I'm writing a book.
Sadie
You are?
Yeah.
Sadie
History of farming?
No, it's about the rise and fall of different empires and the critical role that agriculture...
Sadie
Yeah, it's about farming. [Laughs] So how's it going?
Well... [sighs] ...it's on pause for now. My dad got hurt a few years ago, so I came back to help him with the farm. So not a lot of time for writing.
Sadie
Hmm. I'm sorry.
Oh, it's okay. I'll finish it.
...
You've never seen The Exorcist? It's a classic. It's one of the scariest movies ever made, and they filmed it right here.
Sadie
I don't know. I don't get scared by movies.
Yeah, because you haven't seen The Exorcist.
Sadie
No, 'cause you can choose not being scared.
Sadie
Okay. Little bet. Race me to the top. And if I beat you, you gotta tell me what scares you. I love this. All right. I like the confidence.
Hang on, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me just... Hang on.
Sadie
Oh, come on. Put all that in here.
Are you gonna carry all my stuff? Okay. Wait, wait, wait. [Inhales sharply on inhaler]
Sadie
You looking for pity?
That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Sadie
Oh, my friend.
You ready?
Sadie
Yeah.
And go!
You know, I'm guessing you work out.
Sadie
Are you okay?!
Oh, yeah.
...
Sadie
Oh, my God. I love Monet.
So you can just choose not to be scared, huh?
Sadie
When I was six, my mom and I fled our country... on a raft.
Oh, my God. That must have been...
Sadie
Worse than you can imagine. The sun, the waves, sharks, people screaming, crying. I was terrified. Everyone was. They wanted to go back, but... [scoffs] ...my mom was so strong. She kept us all going for five days, until we made it. [Chuckles] And I still remember how they looked at her on the beach. I just, you know, wanted to be like her, strong and brave. So that's the day I decided I was never going to be afraid ever again. And I'm not.
I believe you.
Sadie
But it is very cute that you're scared of this movie with the little girl.
Sadie
Oh, my God. This is my own fault. That's... What's the name again?
It's The Exorcist.
Sadie
I have to watch it now.
One of the scariest movies of all time. You're gonna have nightmares for a month.
Sadie
Wow. [Chuckles]
Just watch.
...
This has just been incredible.
Sadie
It was great.
And not to be too forward, but if you ever felt like getting a drink sometime...
Sadie
How about now?
Okay. I know a great place.
...
Sadie
Thank you.
You are amazing! How do you make that look cool?!
Sadie
That's rockaoke. No dignity here.
And next up, we have Cole Turner, turnin' up the heat with "20th Century Boy."
What happened? No, no, no, no, no, n... No, no.
Sadie
I might have put your name down. Come on, Cole.
Sadie. Sadie. Sadie, I get nervous singing in the shower.
Sadie
Just give it a go.
I'm not a performer.
Cole! Cole! Cole!
Cole Turner. Where is Cole Turner?
Please. I can't.
Sadie
He's not gonna do it. Just call someone else.
Give me the mic. Thank you.
...
Now, you're out there, seeing the world, traveling, meeting interesting people. It's quite a life.
Sadie
Lately, I'm not so sure. Someone I... I know just died. A coworker. [Sighs] It got me thinking. You know, there are all these things you want in life... [inhales deeply] and it's so hard to find someone who... If only people could be more like your cactus. Not needing watering all the time?
Right. Exactly.
Sadie
Just living their own lives.
Yeah.
Sadie
Not needing someone else, like, nourishing them.
That makes sense.
