Separate Beds, Sure

Alright, I'll get to Yakorov around midnight, it will help keep us out of sight. Just, um, I'm glad to have met you. Heh, so I thought. Maybe, calls for a little celebration? But not today. I'm beat. I'll go catch a few winks. Not exactly what I meant Separate beds. Sure. [Drink]

A cyberpunk-styled woman sits at a dim bar, awkwardly talking while a solemn man from a stark science-fiction scene appears between cuts. She seems to suggest a romantic or intimate evening, but he repeatedly takes her words literally and retreats to sleep; the punchline is the deadpan clarification that “separate beds” really means separate beds. The dramatic music and his intensely serious reactions make the mundane misunderstanding feel absurdly tragic, so the clip works as a reaction to awkward flirting, rejection, or emotional overthinking.
