Frankly BONDiNG

I really enjoyed this dialog from BONDiNG (S2E3). The last paragraph is very relatable.

 -------------

Pete: Frank, what happened?

Frank: You know that movie, where the little boy turns into a man and loses his virginity to a 30-year-old woman ? 

Pete: No... oh, big?

Frank: It's the one where he gets his wish granted by the machine because he's not tall enough to ride the rides with the other kids?

Pete: yeah, big. It's 'cause he's not big enough to ride the rides.

Frank: It'll come to me.

Pete: Jaws?

Frank: Is Jaws the one with Bob Hanks?

Pete: okay, now you're just fucking with me

Frank: Anyway! Sometimes I feel like that's what happened to me. Like I'm this adult person man who's fucking hot chicks on trampolines, but inside, I know that I still have like a 13-year-old dick in my mind.

Pete: Yeah, I don't think that came out the way you wanted it to.

Frank: I can't do anything right! A job, a girlfriend, the pull-out method

Pete: Yeah, but do you want a baby, or ....?

Frank: I mean, it's not up to me, is it? It's her life, her body, you know? I have to like support her. I already fucked her once, right?

Pete: but you were so excited...

Frank: Anything seems exciting when you think it will change who you are. Like, maybe I won't be a total waste of space, if I can find something to fill that space with. But instead, you end up being more sad 'cause that emptiness can never be filled with someone else, 'cause the problem is always you. and how do you fill, how do you fill a space in you that's empty because of you?
