Oh no.

Oh no, did you have a nightmare?

What happened?

Tell me.

No, I'm just thirsty.

28:10!

Isn't that three seconds faster than your record?

Wow!

Oh.

Huh.

Uh...

Isn't it a little...?

I mean, it's a little...

It's too colorful,

isn't it?

I'm sorry.

Well, I was...

I was going to say trashy.

I mean, it's not, but...

it is a little kitschy, isn't it?

-So you like it? -Yeah!

So do you, right? I mean, it's still a masterpiece.

-A trashy one. -Yeah.

I think this is our best spring ever.

Mmm.

Thank you, thank you.

This wall... Is it darker?

Than what? It's the same paint.

It's the contrast.

The tufts of cloud are so bright.

Come on, you've done well for yourself.

-Remember that rathole you had in ballet school? -Oh, my God.

I had to teach you how to piss in the soup pot.

Maybe if I don't stare at it.

Yeah.

It's just...

No, I'm sorry, if there's one thing I've learned,

it's to take details seriously.

-It's very subtle. -But subtle's worse.

Because you're always trying to find it again.

The fire's still raging and you are out of time.

In 90 seconds, there will be nothing left.

87, 86,

85, and she's still breathing.

Get the fire extinguisher first. You must put the fire out first.

And you are down.

No, save your mother. Go, save your mother.

Go on, save her.

- That area's on fire. - I jumped through the flames.

It's an inferno. Now you are on fire.

You need to lie down. Please.

What are you doing? That's empty.

- In 15 seconds, she's gone. Where are you going? I'm here.

No, you left her. And your dad is on fire.

- No. - That's lights out, Mom.

Lights out here.

- That's of no use. - No, I got him.

No. I got him. - Shh, calm down.

- Lights out, Dad. - It's OK.

- Put me down. - Your father is dead.

Look at your mother.

Your mother is dead.

Everyone died.

You failed. Everyone died.

We are all dead.

"I jumped out of bed, thrilled for a new day in the energy business."

"In Indonesia, we were the bread and butter of the nation,

"lifting millions out of poverty and disease."

Ah, it's beautiful.

"So when terrorist rebels blockaded our Matapao refinery,

"I couldn't turn the other cheek. I owed it to those proud people

"to fight back, an eye for an eye.

"I dialed General Edhie and requested air support. My god, did it come!

"Rat-a-tat-tat, spat the machine guns

"as the terrorists' bodies were being ripped into..."

No.

First of all, I condemn the violation of human rights.

No, I know.

-I just... -But is that how you see me?

I... I...

It's what he gave me.

I just gave him all the articles.

That must be what the media...

Hey. Let me see them.

These are lies.

How is my son supposed to write if you don't...

He doesn't know the difference!

It's all...

It's all... blood and violence.

I'll write a different climax.

Uh...

No.

Sorry.

Today was a hard chapter,

but I think he... sees the big picture.

That's wonderful.

I look at him,

the man he's become.

He'll be fine. I know he will.

Yeah.

You can't sleep?

I can't do anything.

When Tom was dying, and you knew you'd end up alone, how did you cope?

I drank. You know that.

But Tom and I had so many good times.

And now I have you.

I see what you're doing.

Just...

Just because there's a little pause before you eat it

doesn't mean people won't notice.

Your mom will notice.

Just don't steal my cigarettes.

How did the joke go?

That Tom told the doctor when he lost his hair

and both were bald?

Oh, you mean,

"Well, Doc, your head's a lot brighter than my future?"

How could the doctor be offended by that?

Doctor, um...

What was his name?

Oh, there were

so many doctors and

treatments... Sometimes I think

that's what killed him.

But he always knew I was there for him.

Well, well.

A sleepover?

-I guess I wasn't invited? -No, no, you don't.

Tell us about it.

Or did he just come to pee in the bed like in the old days?

What hole did you crawl out of?

He does have quite the ding dong on him, doesn't he?

I'm surprised you have enough room down there,

what with your fallen uterus.

You are pathetic.

Get out.

Alright, come on.

- The sight's broken. - Oh, yeah?

Show him. Go on, show him.

How's a butterball supposed to stop a bullet?

Now, now.

He was a hero that day.

How'd he get that?

When I was little, people came.

And why is that important?

-They can kill us. -Uh-huh.

Sometimes they actually seemed nice.

They were just asking for food.

But it always ended the same way:

They'd try and kill us every time.

I was lucky, though.

The bullet went right through me.

Lucky.

That was the worst day of my life.

Almost losing you.

I remember it like it was yesterday.

And later, maybe we can cut your hair.

What's that?

What is that?

Someone's here.

Come on, seal off the area!

-Get in the car. -Who is it? -Get back in the car!

She's breathing.

How did you find us?

-I saw smoke. -Ah.

Did you pass through Salem?

I mean, there was a town, but...

Right, it's burnt through.

Did you live there?

We live here.

-Yeah. -Hm-hm.

You must be a family.

What about your family?

They're gone.

So you're alone?

Sorry to hear that.

-Were you attacked? -No.

No. There's... There's no one.

There's no one.

After the fire season last summer, we were hungry...

But how long was your family alone?

Three years, but even

before that, months went by with no one.

It just got less and less.

People killing each other off.

Can you just tell us what happened, please?

We had to get out of the burnt area

to find food, but it just went on and on.

And so...

we followed a highway.

There was a river, but the bridge was gone.

So we tried to swim across, but you can't...

-I made it. -That's alright, we understand.

But my mom...

and sister...

then Dad...

-All of them? -I never should've...

-Never should've what? -She told us what happened...

-But how did you keep going? -Enough.

She'll need her strength.

You survived.

That's good.

Right?

Yeah.

Can you see how she got in?

No.

And there's half a mile of rock above us.

We should move her.

It's damp, and it's cold there.

But, uh...

To a spare bedroom or something?

We can't let her stay, can we?

But we can't.

It's been

20 years since someone came.

No, no, no. We said

we have to draw a line somewhere.

We always said that.

Hm-hm.

Well, that was before we knew how long we'd be down here.

But... But we said that about everyone. Everyone!

If we change that now...

She's right.

That's why we have a protocol.

Everything you've built depends on it.

Right. Alright.

Well,

we'll send her away.

"There was nothing.

"We were no one.

"We were less and less and less..."

Lies, trying to trick us into...

Anyway, we're not the Red Cross.

Don't touch me. I'll blow your fucking head off!

Here, Mom. The safety's off.

I wish I'd brought one of his other paintings.

This one's always staring at us. What if we move it?

-We'll find a spot later. -You're right.

There's a place for everything.

I'm just a little on edge this morning.

You like them?

You kidding? I've never had new shoes.

Good. I'm so glad.

-Whoa. -I tried. I had no choice.

- Please, I'll die. - It's OK.

-I'll... I'll die. -This way.

-It's OK. -Please.

-Why are you looking at me? -I can't go back out.

-Don't look at me like that. -Please.

-Give me your hands. -You don't understand.

- I'll die. - You'll be fine.

-No, please! -Come on.

- Wait, listen... - Get her, we need...

- Hold her legs. - OK, OK...

- Give me your belt. - No, please. I'll stop.

- I don't want to do this. - Hold her.

- Help me, please. - That's enough.

Look at her.

-Please! -I said that's enough.

Stop.

Now.

It's just a short drive. Three minutes and we're at the dining room.

OK.

We made bouillabaisse and Dover sole. I hope you're hungry.

I am. If I could, I'd eat and eat and...

-... keep on eating. -Thank you. I mean... Good.

Or rather...

Oh.

You must be very brave.

What you went through

before you came here.

Hmm.

But you can relax now.

Please...

-It smells delicious. -We'll see.

The sauce kept separating, but I think we just saved it.

We're thrilled you're joining us tonight.

Right?

Is that you?

- Excuse me? - Is that you?

Uh... I was much younger then.

Ah.

-Is that your family? -No.

Yes, my husband's family.

Try it. It has a lot of tannin in it from all the heat and drought.

But that's only good for aging a wine.

Thank you.

Do you like it?

It's sour.

Uhm, bitter.

Huh.

It really is!

Maybe, if you, uhm,

take a sip and you breathe in as you...

Like this, see?

What does that do?

It lets all the other flavors...

Oh! Oh, dear.

- Sorry. - That's quite alright.

-That didn't help, did it? -That's perfectly alright.

It's still lousy.

One of the world's great chefs. People waited months for a table.

They waited years.

Oh, enough.

But save room for dessert.

I don't know where we'd be without her cakes.

I hope you like it.

So, I think, uh,

this young lady would like to know what we do around here.

Right?

I'm helping Dad write a book.

- Oh. - He's my editor.

I was in the energy business

and I guess I made a difference, so...

it's a way of giving something back.

Hopefully somebody will read it.

Did you show her the living room?

-We walked through. -It's beautiful, right?

- All the art she brought... - Yeah.

You know, she chose each piece so carefully.

From every movement and style.

She's an artist, too. A ballerina.

She danced at the Bolshoi.

I'm sorry?

You're learning piano now.

-What? -I said you're learning piano.

-Oh. Oh... -Don't worry.

Yeah. Is it...?

-Is there something wrong? -Sorry, I didn't hear you.

-That's OK. -Yeah.

She's gonna master it, you'll see.

-You wanna play later? -No.

- No... - Right.

-We swim in the morning to stay fit. -OK.

When Mom was dancing, she had to be in perfect shape, always.

I'm so sorry

about what we put you through.

Oh.

We were scared.

We were just very scared.

I... I hope you can understand that.

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Scared. - Yeah? Hm-hm.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hm.

You were born here?

He was. He's very lucky.

Your face was so round.

He was fat.

We called him Bruiser.

- It's nice. - Yeah.

-You had a dog down here? -Yeah.

- Charlie. - God, we miss him.

What's this? What were you doing? Food fight.

I forgot that.

We keep all holidays.

Halloween.

Scary faces.

Did no one else make it?

I mean, from your family?

I just ask because...

I know what that's like, to...

Careful.

You can easily cross a line. Some things are private.

-There should be some distance. -It has nothing to do with you!

Look.

Wanna help me?

Your ninth birthday. Remember that?

-I... -That suit?

Oh, yes.

You were having a wonderful time.

You looked so dapper in it.

That's a nice one of you, Mom.

-Are you alright? -Uh... uh...

Nothing to be afraid of. Just a little water.

She's scared, Mom.

-Shouldn't...? -No, she's alright.

Right?

Mom, just...

But this is bad. If one of us can't help in an emergency...

I...

It's alright.

Jump.

Jump.

You little cocksucker.

Fat little shit.

Lemme see your choppers.

Lemme see your pearly white...

Talking to the fish?

No.

-I know it's stupid. -Why?

It's not stupid.

I love to talk.

A real motormouth, yammering away...

My mom used to call me her radio.

'Cause she liked to listen when it got too...

uhm, quiet.

See? That's the Civil War.

And that's the Texas Oil Boom.

It started as home schooling, but

whenever I learn a true gem of history, I add it.

Yeah, I saw you had the moon landing.

-You know about that? -At night we saw satellites, just...

circling the world.

Hard to believe we could put them there.

But we could!

And we did!

"One giant leap for mankind."

Phew! It moves me in a very personal way.

-Here, I'm laying the Pacific Railroad. -Hm-hm.

They were Chinese.

You made them look happy.

But they were.

What they did?

Before, you had to hike through the jungles of Nicaragua

and get malaria or

motion sickness on a boat, but...

you had no choice. Unless you walked.

You don't know?

Thousands of them died.

But they didn't die in vain.

They were really part of something.

I don't know.

I don't know, losing people like that, one after another...

Right, no, I don't... No, I...

I don't mean that... They weren't happy. But yes...

They could be proud.

They were building a country. And that's...

That's the point of all of this: building a country,

creating the moments.

See, there's Ulysses S. Grant. And Grant's Tomb.

Uh...

Would you help me?

I can try.

We can plant trees.

I'll get some more. "Greening the desert," they call it!

Or just making it look more realistic, right?

They're just here in the kitchen.

You'll love these. They're...

What's wrong?

I told them I was going to look for food, but I didn't.

We'd been trying to cross that river for months, and now it was winter.

And Dad was sick.

And I couldn't...

I couldn't...

I crossed without them in the end.

- I know. - No.

No, it's worse.

When I got to the other side, I looked back.

They were calling me, but I couldn't hear.

And the way Dad looked at me...

Then they went into the water.

What could you have done?

-They were dying... -No, that's an excuse.

-They wanted you to live. -They might've lived if I...

No, you can't think like that. You can't.

It's just, there's so much...

food here.

There's so much everything.

Uh...

We faced that, too.

Who to save.

But...

Really, you don't have a choice.

I had a choice.

-I had a choice. -I know, I know... Listen,

I... I can finish this on my own.

I know where everything goes.

"Since the dawn of time, the climate has changed.

"It will keep on changing long after we're gone.

"Any little thing can make it happen,

"from sunspots to the wobbling of the Earth.

"There have been ice ages and ages with no ice at all.

"Things come and go. It's arrogance to think we control the fate of our planet."

Sorry,

can I borrow a book?

Yeah! Sure.

How's it going?

Oh, great. Very good writing.

"We'll never know if our industry contributed to the rising temperatures.

"But without fossil fuels, the human race

"would be languishing in poverty, and..."

Yeah... yeah...

Go on.

Oh. Oh!

You know what? Maybe she has some ideas.

Me?

I mean...

It's your story. You know what it needs.

Right. That's exactly right.

Sorry. Thank you. Hm.

Thank you.

You see? We're on the right track.

Sometimes you're too self-critical.

Yeah.

Who knows?

She might really make a contribution.

-What's wrong? -Uh... Nothing.

Maybe I was a bit short with her yesterday.

Oh.

She was asking about my diorama, but

I wanted to get back to our writing.

I got impatient.

Maybe you should give her something.

To show you appreciate how hard she's trying.

Maybe something special.

I, uhm...

I... uh...

I got you something.

Thank you.

A watch?

It works.

Yeah, of course.

It's one of the most accurate timepieces ever created.

Thank you.

My dad's watch was broken, but he still wore it.

We guessed time, looking at the sky.

Well, this works a lot better than the sky.

A classic combination: rose gold and ostrich leather.

I... I thought it might help you manage your time better.

My time?

If a man earns half a billion dollars a year,

every second of his time is worth 16 dollars.

I want that.

So should you.

Why?

All that money, look what they did with it.

It's a matter of respect,

not wasting people's time.

-Time is precious. -I know about that.

Then you know the importance of productivity.

-Achieving more in less time. -I know what it means.

It's just, is that what you think?

Or is it from your dad's book?

It's my book, too.

I'm writing it.

When I

walked in, you seemed...

You seemed embarrassed.

No, I wasn't.

We were working on something important and difficult.

It's called being hopeful.

No?

OK.

Because they're getting worse.

Thank you.

This is adorable.

How did you make them?

I don't know, I...

Mom...

In the beginning, did you see the people who tried to get in?

No, I was with you. Protecting you.

Before that, then,

when you first came, did you ever consider...

Because there's enough room here, so...

Did you ever consider inviting more people?

Who could we trust?

We had to think about you.

Sorry, right.

I just wondered if...

I just wondered if sometimes you feel sad or...

Who could we trust?

Sorry, right.

-Maybe you feel... -I feel fine.

She is a little insensitive.

Disrespectful. To him, especially.

I'm not sure he feels that way.

You're not? I am. Very.

-It's like she has an agenda. -An agenda?

-An agenda? I don't see what... -You don't see.

Everyone else we could've invited.

You said we had to draw a line.

-Because otherwise... -Yes.

-Yeah. -Otherwise. -Yes.

-Exactly. -Yeah.

And you brought your best friend.

She's family.

Look, I'll talk to her.

I just don't understand why she's here.

Why she's here? What are you saying?

- Well... - She...

She...

She is a stranger.

Our family,

they loved us.

We can tell her, one more strike and you're out.

Something like that, but...

-... only if you want that. -No.

I don't want to be the one...

I just think of everyone else we could've brought.

No, alright, if you...

Hm.

-It still hurts, doesn't it? -No.

Sometimes, but I think the antibiotic isn't working.

Oh, so doing my job now, are we?

You need a different antibiotic.

But is it really worth it?

-Will it help? -Sure. But why bother...

...if you're leaving us anyway?

There's just no bottom with you. Give her the medicine.

Thank you.

No. It is. It's chipped.

Did you chip the painting?

No. I didn't, really.

Well, why is it chipped?

-It's always been chipped. -Of course it has.

I would've noticed it.

-I know it's subtle. -"Subtle's worse." Yes.

So, are we looking into this?

Because I...

I'll go start on, uhm, the office.

Aren't you trying to be kind? I love that.

- I'm not being kind. - That painting...

-Renoir's hands... -"Twisted with arthritis."

Yeah, but we love that, right?

The look of pain in her eyes,

but still she danced with grace, look.

-I see it. -Do you?

The willingness to sacrifice everything

to make this world just a little bit bearable?

He strapped the brushes to his fingers!

It came off. It was just a bit of plaster.

I... I think it's a myth.

I think it's a myth about strapping brushes to his fingers.

I think his assistants helped him.

You gotta knock it off.

She lives with us.

And you're not doing him a favor, either.

Fucking piece of shit!

Was this piano a gift from when Mom retired from dancing

or when she debuted in Swan Lake?

I don't remember.

She also said the director of the Bolshoi was an admirer

and gave it to her when he first saw her dance.

-You'll have to ask her. -She'll tell me a new story.

Whatever serves her purpose.

She never danced at the Bolshoi.

What?

She was...

an understudy on a tour,

but she never got to perform.

Hm?

Don't tell her that I told you.

No, no.

-Please, promise you won't. -Of course not.

That's good enough, isn't it?

No.

I have to fill the cracks.

But there will be a picture there.

But it should be like silk, your mother says.

It always cracks.

So it feels infinite when you paint it blue.

Like the sky, right?

-But it's just a wall. -Please!

There's nowhere else for me to go.

Nowhere.

I just need 15 minutes

to fill the cracks and I'll be done.

- Do you want me to time it? - No, don't do that.

That was stupid of me.

We would've killed you.

I...

I tried.

But...

You said we always have a choice.

But... I...

Yeah. The top reaches the stratosphere,

then it stops.

There's no more water up there, so it stops.

That's... nothing.

I don't know what that is.

Somewhere my parents went.

They don't know I have this.

Are they cities?

-They're, um... -Fires? -They're fires.

They're still burning.

They'll burn for hundreds of years until the oil's gone.

I don't know who those are.

Yeah.

Me and my sister used to do that.

-Do it again. Do it again! -Are you crazy?

No, that's dangerous!

Can I say something?

I'm excited about too many things at once.

Seeing you in the morning,

thinking about you when I brush my...

I... I do that. I promise, I...

What if we just left this place?

- They're sweating. - It's OK.

I... I'm sorry.

I know, I... It just happened.

What do you want to know? We...

We have fun.

That's all.

You have fun?

When we're working, we have a good time.

Hm.

And at night?

No.

- No. - No?

No. Just when we're working.

But you have had sex with her.

No, what I'm doing is...

I think I like her.

I'm sorry, Mom.

How? How can you know?

I... I just know.

But you have no experience. You've never met anybody before.

I know, but that's what's happening.

Sometimes when we like somebody,

they don't like us in exactly the same way.

Sometimes they just want something from us.

No. I know how she feels.

I do.

If you're so sure of that, then...

why give her this?

Oh, dear.

If you give her something like this,

you're never going to truly know how she feels about you.

No, that's not true.

We give out of love.

And when we receive, we give love back.

We say, thank you. I love you.

But that was stupid of me. She didn't want a watch.

She was upset and I wouldn't listen.

She needed someone to listen.

Mom, I...

I love her.

I do.

It doesn't mean that I don't love you.

Oh...

It's alright, isn't it?

I mean, I know you said...

I said...? Oh.

Yeah. Forget all that.

That's the past.

No, no! This is stirring.

-I was folding. -No, you must fold.

A moron.

- A total fucking moron.

Whoop!

And you, a cloud on my towering mountain.

I want to be a cloudy day.

Ah, well there's plenty of it, so keep on going.

I will make you the Chamonix, and rain the egg...

No!

I want you to keep going.

I want you to feel at home.

This is your home now.

I do. Thank you.

And we usually have fruit salad.

-Oh. -We do.

We like it, don't we? Yeah.

It's... There's hardly anything in it.

Nothing bad for you. It's...

And sometimes we have it with a poached egg.

-Yeah. -But no yolk.

And we enjoy it, don't we?

Have waffles today, Mom.

Come on. Live it up.

No, I think I'll stick with my fruit.

It's better for me, and...

No, and I'll enjoy it.

"To see her dance was to witness

"an exquisite flower opening her petals to the sunrise.

"The hushed audience at the Bolshoi was mesmerized.

"From my perch in the royal box, I decided to make her mine."

Hm!

No.

Why'd you stop?

-It's... hollow. -Hollow?

A flower opening to the sunrise?

But she was a great dancer, incredible.

Yeah.

When you went backstage, how did you feel?

I filled her dressing room with flowers.

-That's what you wrote. -I know, but...

Did you ever want to know what she really felt about you?

But maybe you were scared to ask.

But then you had to.

Well...

I think you're looking for something too abstract.

It's a form, romance.

You don't go into endless chitchat.

The love is in the metaphor

of a flower.

Or a beautiful sunset.

-Maybe some kisses. -But it's not.

It's not.

Hmm.

Well, we'd have an evening here, a dinner there.

It was a long time ago.

Maybe it's normal to forget.

It is.

It is.

You get used to each other. The initial passion just

fades and...

How can you grow old together if you can't remember how it was?

Well, that...

That's not what I...

What about you, Butterball?

Would you come down, please?

I was wondering...

Have you ever...?

I mean, you know about me.

How I am and all.

Huh.

-Oh... Don't worry about that. -Really?

Yeah.

Well, I did once...

What I should've done, what could've been nice...

If only I'd said...

Or asked him for a cup of coffee.

That's what people do, you know.

When I get a charley horse in my leg at night

and I can't reach it...

You see? I can't.

So I...

I think about that from time to time:

what would've happened.

Maybe nothing.

But maybe he, or someone else

Anyway.

I never went in for all that.

We all have things we wish

we would've...

That's why it's so hard.

That's all I meant:

being scared to say hello.

That can work.

Sure. And when you did, maybe you even had sweaty palms,

so you were scared to take Mom's hand.

Sweaty palms?

Yeah, it's great. Keep going.

What? Can't you sleep?

Your robe.

It's so pretty.

It's, uh, the same as always.

Oh. But it's nice.

I... I...

You look nice.

I, uh...

You know what's funny?

I've been thinking about how we met.

How long it took me to say hello.

I don't know if I ever told you, but I was scared.

I wanted to hold your hand, but...

my hands were

so sweaty.

- That's how scared I was. - Oh, yeah.

See? How your robe

meets your neck.

You're beautiful.

I'm just older, that's what I am.

No. You're beautiful.

And I think of all the years

we've had together,

I...

That's something else I never told you.

What I was just doing, you know what I call it?

Because I call it something.

Schnickling and schnackling my head.

You never seen me do it?

You call it schnickling and schnackling your head?

I guess I don't do it too much in front of you.

You have a name for it?

-Sorry. -What?

Uh... Give me one second.

-You alright? -Yeah, sorry.

Hold my hands.

Here we go.

Good.

Lower your head.

Yeah...

Great!

Great, good.

You're a bit scared, that's all.

You're doing great.

-Ready? -Uh-huh.

You alright?

-It really shines there, Mom. -It feels cold, the room.

-We haven't hung the chandelier yet by the north wall. -The north wall?

Adding just that touch of warmth, like the North Star.

No, no. Stars are cold, too.

I think we need more red.

Mom, winter is cold.

Yes, but it's what you do in the cold.

You don't look at the stars, you...

I... I don't even remember.

Sure you do. How our breaths froze

and we ran all the way to school to keep warm.

Your feet are like ice.

That was...

quite... I didn't even know you wanted that.

I'm so sorry.

No, I'm not blaming you.

-I'm so sorry. -I'm not blaming you. I just...

-It's been a long time. -Yeah.

-I don't... -Yeah.

-I wasn't expecting... -You weren't?

-No, not... -Well...

Then what... Well, that's good.

It's a little unrealistic, out of the blue like that...

I know, I know.

Maybe we could

try again another time, but with a little warning?

Oh.

What?

Never seen your mom covered in shit?

Bring that here.

I thought, instead of paper,

we could grow flowers again.

I think we can save these.

Pour the water here.

So, you hold it from below.

And you have to be very gentle with the roots.

If they break, it dies.

When did you...?

Who taught you this?

I don't know.

Was it your mom?

Mom, what was she like?

What is that?

A bird. A chicken?

That is not a chicken.

Chickens are the only bird I've ever seen.

You know, that is something I used to be very good at:

birds.

Um...

Don't laugh at me.

What's that?

It's a robin.

You know the way they used to hop along.

OK.

And, um...

It's a cow.

No, it's not a cow.

It's a loon.

A loon?

A loon.

Hmmm.

It's a water bird.

We have a little surprise for you.

-Uh-oh. -And honestly, I'm nervous.

But not as nervous as you should be, because

a certain someone...

So, I... did try to get in shape for this evening.

So I'm not quite so much of a butterball.

Nobody's calling you a butterball.

No excuses. We want a show. Give us a show.

-Did you not know? -No, I had no idea.

Wow!

You should try your own creation.

Thank you.

Here I go!

-Like this. -What?

Oh yes, that's right.

You are such a chump.

-You can never... -Such a chump.

OK. OK, who else?

Oh, my Lord.

- Who else? - Maybe next year...

Uh...

-You want to say...? -Yeah.

-Say something. -Um...

I...

Um... I'm happy to...

I'm happy to be here with you.

And thank you.

Really. For welcoming me into your family.

You're welcome.

I'm probably a little...

I never celebrated New Year's without my family before, so...

Um...

Every year,

we were surprised that we made it one more year.

And...

in the end, my parents knew that

any day could be the last, so,

when we did make it,

we would celebrate that we were together.

And I just...

I just...

Because...

What I did...

I shouldn't be here. I don't deserve to be here.

- It's awful, what I did. - You did all you could.

- I didn't. I left them. - No, you didn't.

-Maybe that's enough. -Let her talk, will you.

We lasted that long because we were together, but I...

-I left them. -Yeah, I know.

-But you're with us now. -But I just...

-You have our family. -I have a knot in my stomach.

It's always there.

Don't you?

And then I ask myself...

... why am I living?

Why...

Why keep living? I remember

this one woman, sitting alone on the street.

And her eyes were just...

She lost everyone.

I'm really sorry for what we did to you.

-I thought we were past that. -No, you understand. You do.

You do. I know you do.

You lost your family just like I did, and you didn't...

I'm sorry. It's just because...

... we're all alone.

No, no, don't say that.

It's true. Everyone's gone.

- We're all that's left. - Just stop.

OK?

Thank you.

Very much.

Really.

Isn't this her best cake ever?

Oh, good morning!

Yeah. We need your wonderful ear.

Is that too sharp?

- Maybe a little. - Yeah.

Mom, I'm sorry about what happened last night.

Oh.

But it... it ended well.

How's this?

Mom...

She was trying to tell us how she was feeling, but we...

-I... -Yeah, she wasn't feeling well.

-But she was. -Is that too flat now?

It doesn't matter. No one plays it.

They tuned this thing every day at the Bolshoi.

Right, the Bolshoi.

We stopped her, Mom. We did.

Right?

I think we did, honestly.

She said some things that were hard for us to hear.

She needs to feel that she can be honest with us.

For you of all people to talk to me about being honest.

Mom, she just tried to tell us what she went through.

-Uh, like you tell about Tom. -You know nothing about this.

It was New Year's Eve.

Nobody wants to start a new year...

-She was missing her family. -Her family?

What did you tell her about me?

-Nothing. I... -No, no, no.

She singled me out.

-She accused me, actually. -Mom.

-What the hell did you tell her? -What can I tell her?

She can talk about her family, like you can talk about yours.

-I don't. -But you could.

-I wish you would. -So now we just talk about...

every person who happens to spring to mind?

Now,

let's try a smile.

Yeah? That's nice, but you're not smiling with your eyes.

-OK. -I...

I remember

one of the first things I learned starting out

was how to control my expression,

because people do judge you.

Uh, it's not nice, but

that's what they look at, so...

What?

No, she just smiled at me.

OK, well, that's what we're practicing.

A real smile, it starts from inside and it...

It spreads.

Yes, but you don't do that with your hands.

-She looks great, right? -She does, yeah. Almost.

A little better and... coming towards you, happy to see them.

Ahh!

Ah, yeah. Ah, you're beautiful.

Isn't she?

She is. Very.

-But what? -No, she really is.

- You don't mean it. - Of course I do.

Are you laughing at me?

Shouldn't we at least...?

-No. -No?

But things have been so good.

It's gone: good.

-Gone from this world. -Don't say that.

-It's a burned-out light. -Don't.

Don't ever say that.

Look at us. We're a family now.

-We're a family? -Hmm.

When everyone I love is not here?

Right.

I know. I know. That's...

That's hard.

But you should remember: They wouldn't have wanted to be here.

-They wouldn't have wanted to? -No.

It wouldn't have worked, honey.

-We talked about it. -Honey?

-Yes. -Now I'm honey?

Alright.

You hated when your parents came to visit.

Mary's family, too. You always said that.

No, you said that.

Aw, come on, now.

You never asked me what I wanted.

Yeah.

When we first got here

and you could still call out, you remember?

You didn't even try.

-That's a lie. -No.

To be honest, I wondered about it.

She's tough, I thought.

She's strong. She doesn't even want to know if her family's alright.

-What you're saying's not real. -She's glad to be rid of them.

I asked myself, what kind of mother is she going to be?

I'm going to tell him about you.

-What? -What you did to my family.

- Oh. - Yeah.

OK.

- Good. - Yeah.

-I'm sure he'll appreciate it. -I am, too.

While you're at it, tell him you thought your family was trash

and you chose this instead of them.

Hm-mm. Tell him.

He already knows. He's not stupid.

I'll tell him everything about you.

-He knows who you are. -Everything you did...

to everybody.

-I'm going there now. -OK.

-I am. -I'll just, uh...

OK? We're... we're alright.

You have to...

You have to calm down.

Come on. Come on.

You listen to me. You listen to me.

We cannot be at war with each other.

Do you remember what you wrote about our orphanage in Nigeria?

It's a masterpiece.

I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep, I was so excited.

I got up and read the part about our...

this orphan Daisy.

Is this Daisy?

Can I make a confession?

It comforts me that you wrote it.

Dad, it's three in the morning. Why are you...?

I know, I know. But where I'm stuck now is

how do I put that human face on our even more important work,

like, you know, big statistical stories:

irrigation, renewable energy...

-... and hope, of course! -Dad, why are you... -What?

Please. You're so good at this.

OK. OK.

Maybe...

Maybe start with something like:

What really got me out of bed in the morning was

making a difference.

That's so true.

And then: My real passion was our work in the developing world, where

drilling for oil was just my excuse to build wind farms,

provide clean water,

and save the chimpanzees.

Hmm.

So, could that be the human face?

Maybe.

Or: Now...

Sarah or Daisy no longer had to walk 12 miles

to fetch water for her mother... her crippled mother,

she could go to school like a normal girl, all because of me.

But I didn't ask... I just

want to put a human face...

On what, Dad?

If you think statistics work better,

-... then... -Than what?

None of it's true.

Why are you...? What...?

What more could I have done?

The other companies were worse.

At least I cared.

I still care.

Would you get your faggoty hands off me!

Come in.

We thought we'd make this room a little nicer for you.

I know. It's a disaster, right?

No, no. We just...

fill in these cracks and you choose some new wallpaper.

Wow, it really stinks in here. Are you still smoking?

Sometimes.

These are of me.

-I didn't know... -They're of us.

They're nice. We were young.

You can't just... I don't want...

Nobody needs to see these. Have you seen these?

I...

Oh.

And this...

I wish you'd get rid of this.

No, I...

Please.

Yeah, looking good, but it's a Magnum, remember.

So that kickback's gonna...

Oh, oho!

Hey, it's OK!

We're OK.

Yeah.

Oh, but he's not. You got him right in the knee.

I'm telling you: This is a great gun.

It's been a real lifesaver for us.

I brought energy to billions of people.

And everyone used it to drive their cars and fly away on

vacation, but...

You know.

Sometimes I wonder if I did more harm than good.

Did I even care?

Sorry.

I made

some mistakes.

You know,

I, uh...

I never told anyone this, but...

One time, my dog

followed me to school.

I yelled at her, "Molly, go home!"

But she wouldn't.

So...

I picked up a piece of ice

and I

dropped it on her.

But,

when I got home,

she was there.

Like nothing had happened.

Do you think that's OK?

Mistakes like that?

Do you think

I could be forgiven,

because I don't know how much time I have left?

I... I think so.

Good. Good.

Do you think we can be forgiven?

Can I?

Me? Because...

Yes.

I think so. I really do.

Why not?

Maybe that's the romance of life: being forgiven?

Making mistakes,

being forgiven.

You see,

we feel too much.

Even

for our mistakes.

We're big-hearted.

Hm?

You get the mask.

Quick, quick.

Put it on her.

So now you have to connect it to the oxygen.

It is. It is connected.

It's not turned on. You'd never know you killed her.

Are you OK?

We got her out of the fire...

-It's fine. Turn on the oxygen, keep going. -But that's cheating.

If you always stop her, she can't learn.

-Sorry, she forgot the oxygen. -Well, she's dead, then.

Let's just do it again.

Let's. She needs the practice.

No. Mistakes have consequences.

Hey. You need to learn to use the safety equipment if you want to stay here.

I hope that's clear. OK?

- We'll do it again. - You think I'm a joke?

-Dad, back off. -Not in my house.

- Your father's right. - She didn't do anything.

- It's fine. - It's not.

Your father's worked very hard and you should show a little

appreciation, actually.

-For what? -For this.

For all... For this haven.

Uh... A haven?

For who, Mom?

Where is everyone?

- Come on. Let's go. Just leave it. It's OK.

You think she's a saint?

You hate your father and me. You blame us for everything.

Please, don't.

She's no saint. She's the worst one here.

Oh, you think so, Mom?

Just leave it. Why won't you leave it?

You think you're better than us?

-I really don't. -We did everything to save you.

You ask her what she did for her child.

For her little angel, who died of, what? Cancer? Measles?

-Whatever lies she told you... -That's enough, Mom.

Come on.

I'll say it. Please let me say it.

Tom was...

Tom was an addict.

Like me.

Because of me.

Growing up with a drunk.

And...

-And I... -He never had cancer, did he?

You...

You left him...

-You left him behind... -I...

-And you... -Shh...

So everything...

Hey.

Hey, we don't mind.

This is for the best.

I thought you were different.

-I'm sorry, is it a bad time? -No, no.

I'll only be a minute. You don't have to...

Can I have a moment?

Don't you want to talk?

Tom could never have lived here.

You couldn't trust him.

I had no choice.

Let's go.

- Please. - Just listen to her.

I have always listened to her.

I know. I know.

What more do you want from me?

I was just hoping we...

Maybe you can... You can...

Forgive her?

How is it up to me?

It's not up to me.

You want forgiveness?

Go ask Tom.

It's still ten days until your next refill.

I'm not sleeping.

You haven't had a good night's sleep in 25 years, have you?

That's why I give you so much shit.

Or because I'm such a prick.

I remember when you weren't.

Do you?

Everything itches, doesn't it?

Yeah.

So, um...

Oh...

OK.

Hey, hey. Shh.

Hey.

I'm so tired. Aren't you?

Talk to me.

I'm alright. I'm just tired.

You can talk to me.

At least she's at peace, right?

-You don't have to do that. -It was her choice.

-No, you don't have to do that. -She wasn't happy, never.

That's not true. She was happy for you. She was happy for us.

I doubt... That was just her running away again or...

I don't know.

I don't even know if she cared about us, not really.

She loved you.

-I don't even know if she liked me. -She loved you.

Why don't you stop, please. I'm so tired.

I know you're upset, but she was your best friend...

-Stop! You talk too much, you know that? -No, that's not true.

Yes, you pick and pick and pick, and it goes on and on.

-If you deny who she was... -It becomes hell for everyone.

You want to make yourself feel better for killing your family.

And now you're killing mine, actually.

You alright?

Oh, come on.

Hey. You ready for your birthday party?

Did you have a dream?

I did.

I dreamt a dog was barking.

Or running away, or...

Or chasing something. I can't...

-I can't remember what happened next. -Are you ready?

What happened next?

-I've got him. -I'm sorry.

There we are. Come on.

How do I look?

Beautiful.

-Really? Both of us? -Yeah. It's a great match.

OK.

How about now?

Hm.

Good. Better.

Better?

Oh.

It's great.

Can I take it?

Oh. Alright.

-You alright? -Sorry.

Sorry.

Yeah.

I love your smile.

Let's go see those presents. Let's go see.

Come on, let's go see.

-Here. -No.

-What an exciting day. -Yeah.

Ah.

Oh.

Where would we be without his cakes?
