Original subtitles

Do you know what your last name means?

You know, I, I actually don't.

-No? -No.

Oh, I love looking that stuff up. Let's see.

D-E-S-T-A-N?

-Yeah. -Let's see.

It means destiny.

-Destiny. -That's a good one.

-Cool. -Yeah, that's good.

All right, let's try standing. How do you feel about that?

-Yeah, of course. -Good?

All righty.

There it is! Okay.

Tilt your chin just a little bit more.

All right, perfect.

Look here with your eyes.

Okay.

Someone's hungry.

I hear that.

Am I doing okay? -Oh, you're doing perfect.

-Okay. -How's it feel?

Oh, it's my first

start at any acting.

-Really? -Yeah.

So, is this feeling awkward or are you okay?

Well, you tell me.

-You look good. -I don't know what to do.

So, I'm hoping it's all right. -You look great.

Yeah. No, you look really good.

-Thanks. -How do you like it so far?

Well, it's my first stop, so-

-This is? -Yeah.

I am honored. Yeah.

-That's amazing. -Thank you for having me.

Of course!

I'm gonna be having a birthday and be 71

on the 24th, comin' up.

Really?

Yeah. I know.

That's not old, but you look amazing.

Oh.

-Well, thank you. -You do!

I'm not just saying that. You look really good.

Ah, come on. Stop it.

I won't.

You don't think I'm too old for this, do you?

Too old for, for acting? -This acting thing, yeah.

What?

No!

That's what cinema tries to do at the end of the day, right?

Is somewhat reflect the real world.

Are you buying that? Am I selling that?

Are you buying it?

No. Okay, hold on.

Look at that.

I would hire that.

-Okay. -Yeah, you look badass.

It is pretty cool.

-Yeah? -All thanks to you.

No, it's all you. It's all you.

Do you actually work for NASA?

These are for NASA.

These? Oh, my God, really?

You'll be on the website, in a way.

I know this is weird,

but do you mind if I call my dad?

-Sure. Go ahead. -Okay.

No. No, they're gonna be on the NASA site.

No, the website.

He wants to say hi. Is that okay?

Okay.

Hello?

No, she's telling the truth.

The website.

I love this lipstick, by the way.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

What's it called?

It is cherry red.

-Ooh! -Yay!

Little different for NASA.

Was that always the dream?

It actually was. I, I know it seems silly, but-

What? Silly?

How is that silly?

So many kids dream about that and you did it.

That's cool!

Did you always wanna do photography?

Um...

No. I mean, in a way.

I was at that age where

I was just desperate to get away from home,

so I picked the furthest school that accepted me,

picked a major that I ended up hating,

and then I, I don't know,

photography just always felt like some kind of escape.

-And that was it? -That was it?

No, that was not it.

I stuck with the major

the five years it took me to graduate.

Got hired at a job that I absolutely hated.

I don't know, I just...

I slowly realized that I didn't deserve

to be unhappy all the time.

I don't know if you can relate to that at NASA.

-I can relate to that. -Can you, yeah?

At NASA, we definitely understand that, so-

Yeah? Yeah.

And maybe that's a universal thing, huh?

I, I think so.

What's the book called?

The title is, "Why Can't You Trust an Atom?"

And then the subtitle is,

"Because They Make Up Everything."

Kinda like a dorky physics joke.

That's good. I like that.

Let's give it a little jump, yeah?

Okay. Sure, sure.

All righty.

Ready?

I need it too.

-Ah, yeah! -Ah!

That's the best part. The noises.

Ah!

Think we're ready.

Okay.

I'm dizzy.

Is she feeling?

Not yet, but she will.

Get me out of this hanging harness.

Hello?

This is her.

Who is this?

Okay. What is, what is it regarding?

What?

What happened?

For how long?

Um...

Okay.

What do I need to do?

Okay.

Sorry, could I call you back?

Do I just call this number, or...

Okay, thank you.

Bye.

Hi, I know we haven't talked in a while, but,

Bye.

Hey.

Hi!

-Hi. -Were you alone in there?

-What? -I was alone.

I, this is such a weird thing. Um...

Yeah, I was.

Yeah?

-Yeah. -I was, too.

Hm.

Is the music, is the music always like that?

Like what?

Like, like uh, like...

Like, like super repetitive?

A little more.

I love that song, yeah.

Yep.

Mostly, yeah.

You, I don't know how you can dance to that.

You just find a way.

Are all the clubs like that here?

-Pretty much. -Cool.

-Yeah. -Okay.

Mm-hm.

So, I have this acting teacher

who says that I should network more.

Okay.

Is this like a good spot for it?

Is this a pickup, what?

Is this like, like...

I don't think so. I, no.

-I'd say no. -Oh, shoot.

Why do you have luggage with you?

Oh, I moved here like three weeks ago.

Okay.

I don't trust the motel I'm staying at.

All these reviews say that there's pickpocketer magicians.

-It's weird, right? -At your motel?

Yeah, but the stuff disappears.

So it's just, like, it's easier.

Congrats on the move.

-Thank you. -Where are you from?

Uh, the Fresno area.

Okay.

-Yeah? -Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

So you're not too far?

No.

Different, I bet.

-Super different. -Yeah.

Do, do you mind if I have some?

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're right. I didn't need that.

Shit.

It's...

No. Shit, that was...

A little...

Uh...

It's fine. It was the perfect amount.

It's fine.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Goodnight.

No, I'm really sorry.

Can I buy you a pack?

I feel really bad about that. I...

I think I'm gonna like stay up all night thinking about it,

and I won't be able to sleep.

You know what? I, uh, was...

I'm trying to quit, after this, so-

So, you were savoring it?

-Yeah! -No, fuck.

That's not... Pretty much, you know?

It was nice to see someone so offended

over something I was doing.

-Great. -It helps, in some way.

-Good! -Yeah.

Yeah, I helped!

Glad I could help.

What about a drink? Could I buy you a drink?

Um...

I, I have a shoot early in the morning,

so probably not a good idea.

Are you a model?

No.

-Photographer. -Oh!

Yeah.

Do you do headshots?

Mostly, yeah.

-Actor, yeah. -Yeah, I really...

I need to do a headshot.

I've been told that I really need new headshots.

Okay.

Do you have like a card or something?

Um...

Very random.

Nope. That's health insurance.

Um, here you go.

It's a bit mangled. Sorry.

-Julia Bennett Photography? -Yep.

I'm Lena.

-Nice meeting you. -Nice to meet you, too.

You're sure about that drink?

No. Yeah, I understand.

No pressure.

It's been really nice

having an actual conversation with somebody.

Thank you.

I'll call you. Uh...

Julia.

-Thanks. -Do you wanna come over?

Yeah.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Okay.

There's this liquor store just like around the corner.

By your motel?

It's close enough.

-Yeah? -It's just...

I mean, it's community...

It's a community spot.

Hopefully the pickpocketer isn't there.

Well, oh, God!

Do you wanna sit?

-Yeah. -Yeah?

Yeah, you can leave that.

Um, do you have glasses or something?

Oh, yeah. Duh.

Dum-da-da-dum!

Thank you for getting that.

Yeah. It is the least I could do.

-Say when, yeah? -Yeah.

-Okay. -Good for me.

Thank you.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Oh.

Is that, is that not your drink of choice?

Mm.

Yeah, you could say that.

It's fine.

So, this is really cool.

Is this where you, you shoot,

uh, you take pictures of people?

Mm-hm.

Right there.

It's awesome.

It is. I've just...

I don't drink very much, really, so...

I figured you were drinking at the club.

-Mm-mm. -Oh, my god.

-What? -That is so intimidating.

What?

You were so free in there!

I could never do that sober!

I could not even do that with three drinks in me.

I tried.

You had to watch your luggage, though.

You had an excuse.

Is that one of those, like,

galaxy projector things?

Mm-hm.

I get ads for those all the time.

Yep. They got me.

-Can I? -You can, yeah, go ahead.

The, um, the button's just on the side, right...

Yep. Oh, sorry.

It's all right.

Oh.

That's about all it does.

Okay, that is really cool.

My, um...

My dad

died today.

Or yesterday, technically.

-Shit. -It's okay.

It's fine.

I just...

I, um, I talked to him earlier.

I, I called him because of

something that reminded me of him at work, and I hung up

as soon as I could, so we didn't have to get to his stuff.

So...

I don't know.

Sorry. I'm like...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's weird, huh?

Really weird.

Do you mind if I pour more?

Please.

That was kind of a lot.

No, here.

Let's go.

-Come on. -You're with me here?

Oh, cheers.

-To who? -Oh, um, Bob.

To Bob.

Oh.

Disgusting.

Yeah, I just, I guess I don't really know

what to do now.

Like, what is next.

After...

Are you, I mean,

can you go home?

Um...

I don't know if I'm going to. I...

The person that told me on the phone earlier said that

I, I, um...

I needed to sign a will,

and get what I wanted from the house and stuff,

but I don't know, she could probably send it,

and there's nothing really at the house that I'd want, so...

What about a funeral?

No. Um, no one really talked to him, besides me, so...

I guess there is something at the house that maybe I'd want.

What is it?

It's nothing. It's, it's...

An old flannel that he used to wear, growing up.

My, um, my mom used to hide it from him,

because he dropped it into an oil sump

and it smelled like gasoline, it was...

It was pretty bad.

But, uh, I sewed his initials into it for his birthday,

mostly to piss my mom off, but he never really took it off.

You gotta go get that flannel.

-You do. -Yeah.

Drive for two days for a raggedy piece of clothing.

Yeah.

I, I don't know.

I hate going home.

I mean, I haven't for the past decade, so...

I just feel like all your insecurities kinda just reappear

when you're at home.

Mm-hm!

That's not just a personal thing, I see.

No.

Nobody likes going home.

No, people do.

I feel like some people think it's the place

they feel the most them.

-Oh. -You know?

Yeah, I don't think I feel like that anywhere.

I'm sure you do.

This place is tough, isn't it?

-Little bit. -Yeah.

Where is home, anyway?

Home is

southeast.

It's, it's a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere.

-You've not heard of it. -Okay.

Yeah. It...

I, I can't go anyway.

I have clients and canceling gives me pretty bad anxiety.

-Yeah. -Julia.

Your dad just died.

I think they'd understand.

You want me to help you write a cancellation email?

I'm really good at canceling on people.

-Are you? -Yeah.

Is that a talent of yours?

-Yes. -Yeah.

It's one of my special skills.

Why are you being so nice?

I just feel really, I feel really,

really bad about that cigarette thing.

About the...

That was, that was interesting, I will admit.

What, what was that?

My, my grandma died of lung ca...

-I'm sorry. -You're fine.

-No, I'm really sorry. -No.

That was bad timing.

You're fine.

We all have our vices, right?

Yeah.

What?

You, uh...

I, well... Uh, this is yours?

-It's disgusting. -That's fine.

I mean, I try to quit all the time, but with my...

My gram, we were really close.

Yeah?

That's why I'm out here

after 32 years of being scared shitless.

Yeah, I mean, it...

I only moved 200 miles, but it feels like lifetimes.

You know?

Yeah.

Have you ever heard of the super bloom?

-The super bloom? -Uh-huh.

No. What is it?

It's this super-rare phenomenon where all these wild

flowers bloom at the same time in the desert.

It's also southeast.

Ah, I see what you're doing.

Do you wanna go?

We could go and then you could decide

if we could continue on or not.

Do you actually live in a motel,

or are you on the run or something?

I can crack 'em for you.

I actually like sucking the salt off the shells.

I know it's so weird, but probably more than that.

-So, I'll wait. -Oh.

Um, sure.

Yeah.

There wasn't enough rain?

What is that?

Grammy.

Oh! You're still gonna, you're still gonna, um-

-Yeah. -Spread 'em?

-We're here, so. -Yeah.

I'm gonna go spread 'em.

I don't want it to be triggering for you, so maybe...

You don't have to come, if you don't want.

I think I'll be okay.

Okay.

Actually, I, um...

I think I'm gonna hang out by the car. I think you're right.

-I'll be right back. -Okay.

Take your time.

I really gotta pee.

Okay.

How'd it go?

Couldn't do it.

Why?

I don't know.

Think I have a shy bladder.

So, do you wanna keep going, or...

We may as well keep going, right?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Okay.

Seatbelt.

Is this okay?

Yeah.

It's nice.

You picking out your bed?

Is it as nice as your motel?

You still think I'm lying?

No. Mine's bigger.

-Mm. -It's the hotel of motels.

-What does that even mean? -I don't know!

It's the penthouse! Like in "Pretty Woman"?

Aren't penthouses only in, like, tall buildings,

and motels are under two floors?

It's Hollywood, baby.

All right. I'm gonna shower.

Okay!

How many did you take?

Like two.

Just helps me sleep.

Hm.

Is that a lot?

Mm.

Are they gummy bears?

No, they're peach rings.

You're welcome to have some.

It's okay.

I don't, um,

take, do well with substances.

As you can see, I make rash decisions.

How are you feeling?

I'm okay.

You cried yet?

Every time I shower.

I don't know what it is.

It feels safe.

The water's mouth.

-Yeah. -Mm.

That's good.

My Grammy always used to tell me the story

of the princess and the pea before I went to bed.

-Do you know it? -Mm-hm.

Why didn't the queen believe that she was a princess again?

'Cause she's soakin' wet and she doesn't look like one.

-That was it. -Mm-hm.

Did your dad ever tell you any?

Hm.

No. Not really.

He would pass out on the couch and I'd put him to bed.

Lena.

Remember like closing my mouth off,

when I went under before.

-Mm-hm? -Mm.

Now, I'm really regretting my choice.

What? With what?

I just...

I don't ever get buyer's remorse,

except for when it's about food.

Anytime anyone else's plate comes out,

I always wanna change mine.

I like both in the morning.

Sweet and savory.

-Mm-hm. -I can't choose.

-Mm-hm! -I won't choose.

No! No compromises.

None here.

You must really like buffets, then.

Why do you say that?

Well, if you see someone with something that you want,

you can just go up and get your own.

That's the best life advice I've ever had in my life.

-Free of charge. -You just changed...

You just changed the whole trajectory of my,

my dining out experiences.

Oh, my God.

Feels like I've started something.

Normally, that's when I'd hide away.

But it feels different.

Well, when you're being challenged,

that usually means you're on the right path.

I mean, so I hear.

-Yeah. -Mm.

I mean, things feel so trivial,

when something bigger happens.

It's like all of a sudden auditioning

and being told I'm not cut out for it isn't so bad.

'Cause I don't base all my self-worth off of it.

That's what I tell myself, anyway.

I mean, there's always something bigger that can happen.

Does that mean nothing matters?

Or everything does.

That's less bleak, for sure.

Yeah.

I can't believe you grew up on all this.

I grew up thinking I lived

in the middle of everything.

In the middle of the town.

In the middle of the country, the middle of the world.

That's what my dad used to say about this place.

And I used to believe him. So ridiculous.

Don't we all kind of live in our own

centers of something?

Did you ever have horses?

Uh, yeah, back in the day.

"Back in my day!"

God, is that what I sound like?

"Back when I was a child, we raised a whole farm!"

We had one called Panda, he was my favorite.

Yeah. He was, um, black and white.

Little patches.

Yeah, I thought I was really innovative,

naming a horse "Panda".

Uh-huh.

-I think that that is. -Yeah?

Yeah!

I don't know.

-You okay? -Yeah.

Actually, I feel kinda sick.

-Okay. -Yeah.

Do you wanna go back to the dock?

-Yeah, I do. -All right.

-Sorry. -That's all right.

"To the dock!"

That was you.

I've always wanted to live on a body of water.

It's wild being completely landlocked.

Mm.

I'm kinda surprised we made it

all the way here in your car.

Wow, is that why you came? You didn't think we'd make it?

-No. -Uh-huh.

-No. -Uh-huh!

I think that I'm just happy.

-Uh-huh. -I'm just delighted that-

Well, Debra Car will make it anywhere.

She's got me through a lot in life.

Is that the name of your car?

-Yeah. -That's perfect.

That's a perfect name for something-

-It's pretty good, right? -Debra!

I'm sorry I ever spoke against you.

Yes, please apologize to her.

Hey, actually, will you just give me a minute?

What?

Just hang out here for a little bit, okay?

Just for a minute.

Oh, you smell that, don't you?

Oh, good boy.

I feel like I'm losing my mind a little bit.

Do you wanna act it out?

Maybe it would be cathartic.

My trauma?

Yeah!

What?

What class is teaching you that?

I mean...

Yeah! I mean...

Okay. I don't know.

Do you hear the wind moan?

No. Okay.

I'll do it.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

-Okay. -Yeah.

I'll be your dad.

So you did hear me.

All right, I'm a bad actor, so bear with me.

Dad, Dad.

Wake up. Hey.

What? Honey, what?

What is it?

No, he wouldn't, he wouldn't wake up.

-Oh, shit. -Yeah.

-That's really scary. -Yeah.

Okay.

Let's maybe not do this, then.

I agree.

I saw some, um, cards on the counter.

Do you wanna play speed?

-Yeah! -Yeah?

I saw a mama turtle come out and lay eggs-

-Oh, cool. -On the beach.

And she was covered in bioluminescence.

And she, like, her whole back of her shell

was just sparkling with lights.

Wow.

And then she comes and she looks at me,

and then she goes away.

Camel.

Hot shot. Can't stop.

Really good. I think...

Yeah, we, we have to do this, yeah?

You should probably say his name.

Okay.

-I'll be right back. -Yeah.

You got this.

How'd it go?

Good!

Yeah, it was good. Um...

It's a lot heavier than I thought it would be,

which is weirdly making me feel better.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

There's a lot of him. Yeah.

Okay.

No, here.

Um...

No, that's okay, you're eating.

No, I got it.

Um, I'm just gonna make room in the back.

Mm-mm, mm-mm. I'm ready.

-I'll take him. -Are you sure?

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay.

Hi, Bob.

Ready?

What?

Um...

I said, I said, "Release"...

I said, "Release of the snacks."

Thank you.

Mm-hm.

What about the art?

No, I think I wanna leave it. It suits the house.

Okay.

You sure you don't want me to go through that?

It's okay. I got it.

Any sign of the flannel?

No, it's so weird.

I looked in his closets, in his drawers.

I have no idea where he put it.

What color is it?

It's, um, black, white and, and gray plaid.

Maybe it's in here.

You wanna go out tonight? Get some fresh air?

Like, outside or out-out?

Is there an out-out?

I mean, you're not gonna find like a nightlife,

but there's a bar.

Have you been?

Yeah, I've been.

Before I could even drink.

Could be fun.

I mean, I'll go, but if I see someone I know,

I'm gonna hunt you down.

Is that a promise?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

How does he have these?

What is it?

They're, they're photos that I've taken.

He must have printed 'em out.

They're just, um, things that...

I put 'em on my website in like a blog section.

Things that I like that I photographed,

and I didn't think anyone ever saw them.

Oh, my God. They're gorgeous.

Whoa.

I'm gonna shower.

Well, well, well!

Hi, Penny.

I'd recognize those eyes anywhere.

-Oh, no. -Pure as all, but-

-Full of shit. -Full of shit.

Come here. Aww.

Oh, girl.

I tried.

-I did. -No, it's okay.

We you don't have to talk.

It's okay.

I will take some beers, though.

You know where they are.

Oh, I could just grab 'em, huh?

-Mm-hm. -Just like the old days.

I never thought I'd see the day.

-Me having a beer? -You, back here!

Yeah.

How you been?

-How do I look? -Just the same.

-And by that? -Is that not a compliment?

You look good. You've always looked good.

Oh, thank you.

Did you see no one's at your table?

I saw that.

-I was gonna put five on it. -Ah.

-I was. -No, get outta here.

Go play.

All right. How's my score holding up?

Well, you're still on the wall.

-Am I? -Yeah.

But you got some competition, though.

Oh, I hope so. It's been a while.

-It's your shot. -It's me.

Mm-hm.

-Where you trying to go? -Nice and slow.

Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Oh, I'm not doing, I'm not doing my best here.

I'm not gonna say anything!

Oh!

Oh my God, and you're perfectly lined up for the next one.

I am, aren't I?

Let's see if I can pull this off.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That was, that was unbelievable.

-So close. -That was extraordinary.

Let's see what you got.

-M'lady. -Mm-hm.

You got me good.

-I got you good. -Okay, hold up.

Don't hit that eight.

I'm not going... Uh-huh!

Oh!

Oh, almost got one.

Again, I almost did that for you twice.

Twice now.

Thank you so much. -Hold on, can I do this one?

Can I just, please?

Okay.

All right. I'll give it to you.

Oh.

Wait.

You're so generous.

You gave that a little tap first.

-Did you see that? -Yeah.

What?

Oh!

I don't know where my...

Maybe I'm a little tipsy. I'm rusty.

I don't know. Something's going on here.

-Yeah, it's been a while. -Hm?

-Miss legend of the old days. -Yeah.

All right, so why, if you were such a legend here,

why didn't you go to any parties?

Um, I don't know.

I just...

I, I guess I was more focused on getting out of here

than doing all that.

I made up for it in college, though.

-Ah. -Yeah.

See, I did not go to college,

and I had to do everything and cram it all in!

-Did you? -Yeah my parties were insane.

Yeah?

-No, it's my turn. -It's your turn.

It's your turn, it's your turn.

What were yours like in college?

Um, debauchery.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

What?

Nothing.

I'm just gonna use the restroom.

It's just, uh, around the corner.

Yeah, great.

Hold my place. I'm about to win, I promise.

Was it you or did I just go? -I swear I'm about to win.

Hm.

Julia Snotter?

-I knew that was you! -Hi, Courtney.

I have been staring at you, trying to figure it out!

Hi! Oh, my goodness!

How are you?

I'm okay. Yeah.

-I heard about your dad. -Yeah.

-I'm so sorry. -Oh, that's okay.

Thank you.

You sound kinda funny.

Do I?

You've lost your accent.

You sound funny. I just suppressed mine.

Oh, my word, I cannot believe it.

Well, what're you up to now? You still in Los Angeles?

I am, yeah.

-Wow! -Mm-hm, mm-hm.

Yeah.

Oh, this is Lena.

-Hi. -Lena, this is Courtney.

Hi, Lena! Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you. -A friend from high school.

-Oh. -Yeah.

-Wow. -Mm-hm.

Oh, yeah, from high school, back in the day!

Amazing.

Man, I really wish my kids could've met you.

Are they here?

At a bar?

Right.

Come on!

-She's still funny. -Yeah.

She is still funny. I'll tell you that.

Yeah, you were!

And you still look exactly the same.

-Do I? -Yeah!

She does.

How many do you have?

Kids. How many kids do you have?

I got four.

-Four? -Mm-hm, yeah.

Three girls, one boy.

That's a lot of kids.

I mean, you're not old enough! You're...

-What? -No, you...

You look the same.

-Really, you do, yeah. -I do?

Everyone here is not aging.

-Really? -It's weird.

Must be something in the water.

Oh, man. I cannot believe I am seeing you.

-Excuse me. -With my own eyes right now.

You know, I have always wanted to go to Los Angeles.

-Do you live there, too? -Yeah.

Fresh, fresh recruit.

You should come out!

-I should come out! -Yeah!

Oh, shouldn't I? Bring the kids.

Can you imagine?

Now I need a vacation from those little doubles.

I should leave them at home.

It is so good to see you. I cannot believe you are in town.

Yeah.

I cannot believe I am seeing you with my own eyes.

I'm here!

Marla is gonna flip out when I tell her.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-Yeah. -Maria.

Maria?

You're a little tipsy, too.

Got you!

-I'm sorry! -Oh, that's all right!

It's my favorite place to come.

So, you know, I had to come here today.

Well, you live close, though.

I do live close. I'm down the street.

And, you know, I just had a little, it's a little happy hour

because it just got off work, so-

-Yeah. -It's what I do, sometimes.

The prices here are so cheap.

I forget every hour is happy hour here.

Is that right? Well...

It seems normal to me!

Hey, I don't know what the prices are like

where you live, Miss Fancy Pants!

I don't know!

I don't know.

-Yeah. -I mean, I'm happy.

Yeah, I feel good.

Me too!

It is so good to see you. It is so good to see you.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness.

What was that at the bar?

What do you mean?

You were so awkward.

I told you, I am weird around people

who knew me in my formative years.

We should have a party.

Like a proper sendoff, since you never went to any here?

No. There were 47 people in my graduating class.

A small party?

She was my first crush.

Courtney?

Mm-hm.

Oh, I was so in love with her in high school.

You could have four kids right now.

Wow.

Isn't it weird that we're now an acceptable age

to have four children?

It always felt like we were too young.

Four kids is a lot for any age.

A lot.

Mm-hm.

Do you wanna see how many you would have?

What do you mean?

Yeah.

What do you mean?

Okay.

You are married to Lady Gaga.

Okay. Starting off strong.

Mm-hm. You have eight kids.

-Oh. -And a van.

You're a fortune teller.

In Greece.

Okay!

Well, at least I'm in Greece with Lady Gaga, right?

-Like, it could be worse. -Mm-hm.

Oh, God!

You have to pick my bad one.

Uh, uh, uh...

I got it. It's not really that bad at all.

Andromeda.

Okay!

All right. I lie.

Okay, go ahead. What's your third one?

-He's probably gay, honestly. -I know.

Um, um...

He's tanned, for sure.

Um...

Shoot.

Uh-oh.

One, two, three, four.

Five, six. Jack is out.

Did you ever do this as a kid?

♪ 'Cause I found me something that tastes like springtime ♪

Mm-hm.

What letter was that?

I can't really feel it.

-Do you wanna? -Yeah, can I?

Mm-hm.

High back.

Do another one?

A longer one.

Mm, okay. I'm gonna draw something.

Okay.

A flower?

Did you find it?

Wasn't in there.

I don't know where he put it.

Shit.

I don't think I wanna do the party anymore.

Okay. You don't have to.

Yeah. I'm nervous.

I just keep sweating.

Well, it's hot.

And it's a maelstrom out there.

Here.

Let me just take these to the car for you.

-Okay. -And you just think about it.

-Thank you. -Yeah.

Oh, I'm just fine.

Oh, I'm good.

-Okay! -Two, two of those, please.

Yeah.

Uh, yeah, you guys can sit down and just hang out and-

-Okay, thank you. -Yeah!

Make yourselves at home.

For like a kid with good grades,

not great grades to even get into UT now.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the place to be, apparently.

It's kinda popping, but...

It is what it is.

-Hi! -Hey!

Oh, my God!

-It's good to see you. -Likewise.

Thank you so much for inviting me!

Of course, of course! Everyone's on time here.

Oh, yeah, I brought the year book!

Oh, great!

Wait, so how's your mother? -Oh, she's great.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

She actually drove herself up for a bridge tournament,

all the way up in Houston.

-Look at her! -Yeah, by herself.

Oh, my goodness, she is crazy.

-Yeah. -That's so nice.

Tell 'em I say hi.

Oh, how's Mike? How's the baby?

Oh, my gosh, he's fine. The baby's fine.

Six months. You know, she's getting big.

-Yeah. -Yeah, they grow so quickly.

Oh, my God, you look great. Six months?

I know! Thank you so much.

Oh, thank you.

You still in LA?

-I am, yeah. -Oh, fun!

What're you doing out there?

-I do photography. -Oh, my God.

Look at you, taking pictures and stuff!

-Yes! -Oh, do you like it?

-Oh, I like it a lot, yeah. -Oh, my gosh.

Do you take, like, actors' photos and all like that?

Oh, yeah. Exactly.

That's exciting.

Do you, uh, work at Peggy's still?

Yeah, I'm actually on maternity leave right now.

-Oh, how long? -Mm, six months.

I just don't know if I wanna go back.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

I mean, I just kinda wanna hang out.

-Oh, thank you! -I mean, that's a big job.

Have a glass of wine.

Just take care of the babies a lot, you know?

-Oh, cheers! -Cheers.

Julia, can I actually talk to you for a quick second?

-Mm-hm. -Sorry.

Do you mind grabbing the door?

-Oh, yeah, no worries. -Thank you.

-Yes, yeah. -Hi!

Do you know who ate the chocolate bar on the counter?

I did.

-You did? -Well, I ate some.

Not all of it. Why, is it yours?

We got it at the store the other day? I...

-No. -It was just my edibles.

I brought it from home.

I just ate weed, didn't I?

Mm.

Not weed.

-Shit. -It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be great. You're in a great space for it.

Wait. Not weed?

You brought shrooms?

The flowers would've been so cool.

Oh. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

Um, I feel fine right now.

Honestly, I don't feel anything.

-Good. -So, yeah.

-Okay, good. -Maybe it's like weed.

You know, it doesn't hit you the first time.

Uh-huh.

Just let me know if it's...

-Yeah. -If you feel weird.

Yeah, I know, I feel... You'll tell me?

Yeah, yeah! Of course, of course.

Why? Is something, like...

-Uh-uh. -No?

It's gonna be great.

-Hi! -Hi!

I just wanna give you a hug real quick!

-Ooh! -Ooh!

Thank you so much to much for having us.

Of course. Thank you for coming!

This is such a sweet idea.

-Have a little get together. -Oh, yes.

It's my idea.

Oh!

What can I get you to drink?

Ooh, um, do you have anything hard?

I'm only gonna do one drink, so-

-You gotta make it count. -Mm-hm.

Yeah, I'll be right back. -Thank you so much.

-How are you? -She's a doll.

-Yeah, she's sweet. -I'm good.

-Yeah? -Busy day.

Kids running around, ballet.

One, two, three, four.

One of them wants to do baseball now.

-Yeah? -I never liked baseball.

Oh, I think it's kinda fun though, no?

-Do you? -Well...

It's boring to me.

When you're there, it's more fun.

You know what I mean?

Is it?

It's a thing. I mean, maybe.

Anyway, how are you doing? -I'm okay, yeah.

Because I know it's a whole situation.

I'm okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Being home must must be tough. Okay, good.

Courtney.

Hm!

Truth.

Okay, but you gotta be honest.

I said truth!

Did you have a crush on me in high school?

No!

Oh, come on.

I didn't.

And if you really wanna know why,

it's 'cause I thought you were a little musty.

Jesus.

I just wasn't so sure.

I'm sorry.

Okay, my turn.

Um...

Hmm.

Greg.

I'm gonna go with truth.

Since y'all made me jump in a fire last time.

Okay.

Did you cheat on me with Gloria at prom?

You're still on this?

Just answer the question, Greg.

We kissed, all right? Like I told ya.

You are such a liar.

The whole point of this game-

I know what the point of the game is.

I'm not lyin'.

Whatever.

Okay.

Lena.

Your turn.

Since we barely know anything about you.

Yeah.

Okay, truth.

What's your biggest turn on?

-Greg! -Oh, come on, Greg.

You are such a pig sometimes, Greg. I swear.

What?

It's okay.

Um...

Somebody who dances like nobody's watching.

Oh.

Julia.

Dare.

Oh.

-All right. -All right!

I dare you

to kiss

Courtney.

Courtney?

Okay!

Oh, my God.

-Oh! -Oh, my God.

Oh...

Okay, okay, enough!

You're not married, are you?

-Divorced. -Oh, thank God.

All right, y'all. I gotta a baby to put to sleep.

I don't wanna be the party pooper, but I gotta go.

No!

Yeah, I'm gonna hit the bricks too, y'all.

Oh, we were having so much fun.

We'll have to do it again sometime.

Yeah.

-Nice to know you. -Nice to meet you, too.

Pleasure. We'll see you around next time.

Thank you so much for having us. It was so much fun.

Oh, you're the best.

You good?

Yeah.

I think I'm gonna sit for a bit.

Put out the fire and...

-Yeah. -Okay.

Let me know if you need help.

Let me get some of that.

You don't smoke cigarettes.

Good to see you back here.

Why didn't you tell me you got so bad?

You remember when we used to go fishing up in Cisco?

Mm-hm.

I dreamt about it the other night.

Caught a big one.

You were really proud.

You still have that scar?

Right here.

Still don't understand how you woke up

with a lure in your arm.

I took it from your tackle box in the middle of the night.

Put it on my pillow.

Why?

Thought maybe I'd dream about it.

I wanted to be as good as you.

You were always better.

Sirius?

Arcturus.

Where's the shirt, Dad?

What shirt?

The flannel. Your flannel.

The one I sewed your initials in for your birthday.

Dad, where is it?

Hey!

Hi.

How do you feel?

Fine, really.

Um...

Yeah, I don't know. It didn't really do much to me.

Didn't really get affected.

-Weird. -Yeah.

But that's good.

Yeah.

I don't know why I had you kiss her.

I wanted you to live out your childhood fantasy, I guess.

That's what you're thinking about right now?

♪ The photos and the memories will never be enough ♪

Not gonna get that?

No.

My parents think I made a mistake moving out here.

They're parents. They're scared.

Yeah.

Did you ever work in any restaurants in LA?

-Restaurants in LA? -Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Like seven, probably.

Every couple years, you have to work in them,

just to make sure you're not too jaded.

And, um, you need double the rent,

you know, 'cause you're moving, something like that.

Yeah.

You think any of them would hire me?

I mean, there's a couple in there

that I didn't totally fuck over.

A couple. A few.

No, a couple. I'd say a couple.
