Black Eyed Susan

You didn't pour my drink?

You're a big boy, Alan.

Pour it yourself.

Building up some courage, little man?

- Have some more of your drink before you judge me, whore.

Might hurt a little less when I slap the shit out of ya.

Feeling better now?

No, not even close.

I am not afraid of you.

Is that all you've got?

You want some more, slut?

Maybe.

You're starting to like it, aren't ya?

Maybe.

Anyone else slap you around like this?

Everyone does.

And you like it, don't you?

Mm-hmm.

Does it turn you on?

Yes.

How's that?

Too hard for ya, slut?

Nothing is too hard for me.

Yeah?

Not even my cock?

Bring it if you have it.

Little man.

- Ooh, sounds like you're begging to be fucked, you cunt.

- I haven't been fucked by a real man in a long time.

Get that ass up in the air for me.

You wanna fuck me from behind

so you don't have to look at me?

How else do you expect me to stay hard?

Is that how your daddy used to do it to you?

He was a real man.

He did it much harder than that.

Well, damn, girl.

I don't know who's gamin' who anymore.

- Please don't break the moment, Alan.

Keep on going.

Right, got it.

Susan, back to your last comment.

He was a real man.

He did it much harder than that.

Shut up, you worthless piece of shit.

I bet he didn't fuck you the way I'm gonna.

Yeah, how's that?

You feel that banging around inside you?

Uh-huh.

You liking that, you dirty cunt?

Uh-huh.

That's right, baby.

Take it like I know you can.

That was a hell of a jolt.

- Thank you for a very stimulating session, Alan.

Good session, kids.

You see this?

- Got the bruising under the skin mechanism

working much better now.

It's gonna darken over the next day or so

and actually open up a little bit like a real wound.

It's pretty amazing, huh?

Super.

Next, we'll figure out how to get

the black eye looking right.

It's not there yet.

It's hard to do subtle work around the eyes.

What about crying?

That's much easier to deal with.

Do you like to see tears during sex?

Yeah, turns me on to see a chick cry.

I can't be the only one that feels that way.

Well, we're getting a lot of people

that have started to request that feature.

I don't know how the word gets out

to the backers so quickly.

Well, this isn't necessarily a gig

I go around bragging about.

- Not yet, anyway, but when my lovely ladies

help change the world for the better,

you're gonna be remembered as the Neil Armstrong

of doll fuckers.

Mark my words.

One small slap for man, huh?

You ready for the next level, spaceman?

Who would that be?

I think it's time to move her

out of this controlled environment

and into some real world conditions.

Sure, I guess that makes sense.

I'd be happy to subsidize your rent

for as long as you're willing to live with her.

- Shit, Gil, I don't know if I want my neighbors

to know about this shit, man.

My walls are paper thin, you know what I mean?

You know, now that I think about it,

I do have a private residence in upstate New York.

I hardly ever go there.

It's a beautiful place.

It's got a big backyard.

No immediate neighbors around to bother you.

It's beautiful this time of the year.

It's perfect.

All right.

Let's make this thing happen, Gil.

Right.

Hey there, lady.

Yeah, I'm just getting ready to go in.

You remember Alan, right?

Right, yeah, I think you two only met at the wedding.

It's been a long time since.

Never been to a wake before.

It feels pretty damn weird.

Yeah.

All right.

Thanks for giving me strength, babe.

Okay, okay, I think I'm ready to give this a shot.

All right, I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Derek, is that you?

Gil.

Wow.

It's good to see you.

Ah, same here, fella.

You look the same.

Ah, since when have I ever changed?

It's a goddamn shame this Is what had to happen

to bring us back together again.

I've been out of touch with Alan for a while as well.

Last time I saw him in person was at my wedding.

That was seven years ago.

Any insight as to what was going on with him?

I mean, however long it was since I last saw him,

Alan was absolutely the last person in the world

that I would think would ever consider taking his own life.

- I wholeheartedly agree, and I don't have a clue.

He loved the work we were doing.

He seemed to have a smile on his face

for every occasion, no matter what.

This is more than just a sad event.

It's a shocking one.

- Suicides are always shocking, even when they're not.

- You're too smart to be working as a glorified cab driver.

- Those apps are a lifesaver, Gil.

You're the tech guy.

I'd be flat broke otherwise.

I can drive, I get paid.

- I'm gonna find you some real work, pally.

You should've come to me, Derek.

I don't shake down old friends

for employment opportunities.

It's not my style.

These are harsh times, my friend.

We gotta stick together and help each other out.

I'm not gonna lose track of you so easily this time.

Lousy fate's brought us back together again.

Agreed.

Did you get the money I sent?

Good, good.

It's the best I can do this week.

It's been a little slow,

but I'm taking whatever gigs I can get.

No, no, no, no, no, no, don't worry about me.

I held on to some of it so I can get some decent food

and take care of myself.

All right, give the little one a kiss from me, okay?

Goodnight, hon.

Not your first time, is it?

I can tell someone's been digging through the trash lately.

So next time you come inside,

I'll give you a hearty bowl of soup and a drink.

Okay?

Thank you.

I spent almost every day with Alan

for the last seven months.

I helped him make it through some harsh financial times.

Harsh times, indeed.

Agrees the man living out of his car

when he's not driving around passengers for cash.

- I didn't realize things were that rough for you, Derek.

It looks like I got a job opening now.

You mean Alan's old job?

Yeah.

Doing what exactly?

State-of-the-art sex dolls

are not only socially acceptable nowadays,

but also highly priced luxury items.

- All right, not the conversation I was expecting.

Sorry.

- Innovation thrives on the element of surprise.

Not everyone buys a doll like this for sex.

Some people want companionship,

someone to talk to, share a tender moment with.

It's a frustrating way to live your life.

You might imagine someone living with you

In that kind of lifestyle has a lot of steam to blow off,

no?

Someone like that needs a companion for more than just sex.

They have intense feelings and pent-up emotions

welling up inside them.
