Leon pinpoint7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() Jenna has been so busy with her job that she hasn’t seen her friends for a long time. It is Jenna’s birthday and she celebrates it by attending a gathering thrown for her benefit at Jess’ house. Jenna, feeling guilty, reassures Leon that she “Wants to have kids”. Leon lies and reassures Jenna that they don’t have to have children if she doesn’t want them. She tells Leon that its easy for men, they get to decide whenever they want to have children. Jenna is unsure she questions whether motherhood is inherent in women and feels there is a pressure on women to have children but she fears that there is still so much for her to achieve in her life. Leon tells Jenna that she is going to be a great Mum. She tells him he is being childish again: he needs to communicate his feelings clearly to his friend he views such a course of action as not communication but confrontation. The friend turns up and immediately exits with his child, leaving Leon to complain to Jenna that he feels used and rejected. Leon is looking after a friend’s toddler. ![]() He jokes that he will hire her for his next shoot. He tells her that he is a photographers assistant but that he wants to become a photographer. Leon asks Jenna what she wants to do after her fashion course? She is not yet sure of what it is that she wants to do, but describes herself as “good at coordinating things.” “You’re a producer” he replies. She looks through his records as he makes tea for them both. Continuing from where we left them, Jenna leaves the club with Leon and returns to his apartment. Jenna asks Leon what he did that day, Leon lies, “Fucking loads”. It doesn’t and they eat the food made by Leon. ![]() As The sexual tension pours over into a physical push and pull, there is a danger it might become violent. He rejects her, saying, “You like how it feels?”. Jenna, feeling guilty and embarrassed plays a sexual power game with Leon and tries to seduce him. ![]() Jenna tells Leon that the work trip is a huge opportunity for her “I’ll be co-producing with Valene”, but Leon belittles it by insisting she will just be Valene’s assistant. She tells him that she’s put off telling him of her trip for this very reason – that he will react like a child. “Is Scott going to Japan with you?” he enquires, suspiciously. Leon has found out from a mutual friend that Jenna is not going to holiday with him and their friends for his birthday, but is instead jetting to Japan for work. She laughs as he straddles her and offers a private dance but Jenna rejects him as he tries to seduce her.Ī furious argument ensues. He enters the room dressed in his boxer shorts and wrapped in bathroom tissue. When Jenna returns home from work, the living room is swirling with disco lights and Leon’s voice instructs her to turn on the record player. Leon believes that his ability to watch the clouds float by and his ease with the lack of sex in his relationship makes him is an enlightened being. They watch football, get high and talk about the pressures of the modern world. Jenna isn’t interested in a relationship with immature boys. They both should be studying for their finals but instead they decide to get drunk and talk relationships. YEAR ONE, Jenna walks the corridors of her fashion college in search of her friend Jess (Sarah Ovens). After the intense back and forth, they decide to bury their argument by laughing at the situation. Jenna is tired of backing off Leon, she names the things Leon gets away with in their relationship namely the whereabouts of her Grandfathers missing painting. Jenna and Leon argue outside the pub: Leon feels that Jenna went over the top in her reaction and emasculated him in the process, he is tired of being bullied like a minion at her work Jenna insists that Leon is trying to belittle Jenna with the nickname, ‘The Enforcer’ and tells Leon that he is afraid of her because she’s a woman with an opinion. Its a phrase that Jenna takes vocal exception to. “Sounds like you’re a cuck, pussy whipped” Jenna’s brother tells Leon. Leon jokes of how his nickname for Jenna is The Enforcer. They talk of Jenna’s childhood, reminiscing her bossy relationship over her brother. We join them as they have a meal with Jenna’s family in a Welsh country pub. It is YEAR FOUR of the relationship between Jenna (Tatiana Maslany) and Leon (Jay Duplass), two North Americans in the UK. ![]()
