CHUCK: Listen, I gotta go, OK?
I'm kind of busy right now. OK?
:03:17
BARRIS: It was 1981...
:03:20
and I had holed myself up
in this New York hotel...
:03:24
the Phoenix Hotel...
:03:26
terrified of everything,
ashamed of my life.
:03:33
Until, finally,
I realized my salvation...
:03:37
might be in recording
my wasted life unflinchingly.
:03:40
[ Typing ]
:03:41
Maybe it would serve
as a cautionary tale...
:03:45
and maybe it would help me
understand why.
:03:49
When I was 11,
I had an experience...
:03:52
with my sister's friend
Tuvia...
:03:55
that left
an indelible impression.
:03:57
- Hey.
- What?
:03:58
- Tuvia.
- What?!
:04:00
You want to lick it?
:04:02
[ Scoffs ]
No. Why should I?
:04:05
Well, for one thing,
it tastes like strawberry.
:04:08
My sister tells me
you love strawberries.
:04:10
Yeah, well,
I hate strawberries.
:04:13
CHUCK: No, I'm serious.
:04:14
It tastes exactly like
a strawberry lollipop.
:04:16
TUVIA: Look,
I know that's not true.
:04:18
- Well, I bet you it does.
- I bet you it doesn't.
:04:21
CHUCK: I'll bet you a dollar.
:04:25
BARRIS: Tuvia... my first love.
:04:28
[ Typing ]
:04:30
Perhaps my whole life
turned at that point.
:04:33
The repulsiveness
of my sex confirmed...
:04:35
by the taste buds
of a ripening pubescent girl.
:04:39
What are you doing?
:04:41
Get off me!
:04:42
And so I found myself...
:04:44
in a downward spiral
of debauchery...
:04:47
endlessly chasing pussy.
:04:49
[ Doo wop music playing ]
:04:50
[ Loud kissing ]
:04:53
My only focus in life
to get laid, to get blown...
:04:56
trying to fool myself
into believing...
:04:58
that given
the right combination...
:04:59
of circumstances
and deception...
