Where should we go?

Couldn't hear you. What did you say?

Well, where should we go?

Hawaii is the obvious choice.

Hawaii is the obvious choice. Just think about it. Stop that. Will you stop and

listen to me, please?

There's a reason that people convalesce at the beach.

Don't complain about sand getting everywhere.

I'll be happy.

Oh, that's what's most important.

The Rockies are cozy.

The cold is a bit of air. It's warm.

Cold is just cold, Joan.

It's the kind of place you could spend forever.

It's 84 degrees in Naples today.

Italy?

Florida. We're not Florida people, Larry. Oh, God, Joan, that sounds so

We're not Florida people.

You know, you sound like Karen.

Karen is my friend and she is not well. Well, we don't have to make people into

saints just because they're dying.

Jesus, Larry.

Look, it's got mountains and ice and snow. So many things for you to complain

about. You will love it.

I don't love to complain. That's not something people love. I don't want to

fight a big day.

You know people die at these things?

I saw it on the internet.

It's a gender reveal party. I mean, I get eliminating the surprise, but it's

party word.

No.

One of the great joys of my life has been allowing for surprises. Well,

everything has to be a party nowadays.

Everything has to be an event. No, no, you just hate having fun.

That's it.

You're only happy when you're miserable.

Look,

can we just enjoy it? Okay?

Larry, can we just enjoy it, okay?

That's it!

I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it.

Joan.

Joan.

We have to tell them.

I know.

Just give me today.

Sam, can you grab the balloons?

We're back.

We're back.

Thanks for agreeing to host.

She's going to be a boy. How do you know that? Because he's so low.

A boy. So coming up on 65 years of marriage. You burst one of those

you'll never find out.

Oh, uh, Nana, we found a bunch of your old pictures in the basement.

Who is that?

Papa was in the army? No, sweetie, that was Nana's stupidly attractive first

husband. Jesus Christ, he's a dapper man.

Why would you leave him for Papa?

No, sweetie, Luke was a soldier and he died at war.

Larry, you got really lucky, my friend.

I bet he would have been a good dad.

That's not how biology works.

Claire? Hey, he's being funny.

Shut up, Zach.

Hey, are you okay?

Very bad!

Guess you weren't expecting it.

What the hell is going on?

Please jump. We have now reached the junction.

All the fun of the Middle Ages, none of the leprosy.

Hey, good to see you. You must be noose. Where am I? Jessica?

He hasn't made contact yet.

Jessica? What is it? Your AC will be with you shortly.

Jessica? Hey, can you help me? Your AC will be with you shortly. Are you an AC?

Yes, but I'm not your AC.

Come on. Jessica?

Hi, do you work here?

No, honey, I'm here for my health.

Listen, I think I've been abducted.

You haven't been abducted.

Well, where's my family? Where's Joan? Where am I? You're in the junction.

Your AC will be with you shortly.

Oh,

Jill, this is all noise.

I know you, Jill. You just want a box of Chardonnay in a pool.

I do like Chardonnay. Well, then I have the eternity for you.

Is there a Larry Cutler here?

That's me.

That's me.

Oh, hey, man. I'm so sorry they had me at a whole other gate.

Who are you? I'm Anna. I'm your AC.

What does that stand for? Your afterlife coordinator.

That's not a job.

You passed away, Larry.

No. You're dead.

No, not. That hit my head.

It's a girl.

Walk with me.

I lived until I was taken with my family, and then I, uh... Died. No,

whatever you're trying to... It's not sore.

Look, Larry.

How is it happening?

When you get here, your form reverts to its happiest self. It can be any age.

That's where lots of ten -year -old boys, but not a lot of teenagers,

Shit, Joan. Joan, my wife. I need to go back.

Oh, Larry, look on your bright side. At least your penis works again. Anna.

My penis always worked.

There's no need to feel shame here. We've seen it all. Oh, my God.

Yeah, well, if I was dead, I wouldn't really care about the functionality of

penis.

I wouldn't be embarrassed and annoyed with you right now because you're not

supposed to be annoyed.

Oh, my God.

There's a strange thing down there.

Larry, what is a soul?

I don't know. I suppose it's the...

Perfect version of yourself.

No.

It's just you.

No, that can't be right. If you are annoyed a lot in life, Larry, then you

be annoyed a lot in death. Were you annoyed a lot in life, Larry? Listen to

My wife really needs me right now. I'm sorry it doesn't work like that. Wake

Larry. Wake up. Wake up. Come on, buddy. Come on.

What the hell is that? If you were dreaming, you wouldn't feel that pain.

I didn't feel that. No, usually you old fellas really check up on the whole

penis thing. Listen to me, I need to talk to God, okay? That's what I want. I

want to speak with the big guy. Okay, so you're one of those. I don't know why

you say that in the first place.

We got tons of eternities. What are you, New Testament, Old Testament, Hindu,

Buddhist? Pick your poison.

Hold on, is God not real? I don't know, but listen, after a couple hundred years

of one of these eternities, you won't even know the difference.

Who do you work for?

I work for Frank.

Okay, then who does Frank work? Frank works for time. Why does it even matter?

Come on, we don't have time.

I want to know the clients, Mary, please.

Okay, well, I'm sorry for assuming that paradise would look a little less like

life. This isn't paradise. This is just a brief transition between life and

eternity. Oh, you've learned that life works in eternity.

I have.

It's just something we say.

Everybody gets an eternity.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

All that limited life, a bunch of crap. Afraid so.

Red door escaping.

Oh, that? Don't worry about that.

Just don't run through any red doors.

Larry, let's go.

Let's go.

So this is where I'm staying, huh?

For now, until you choose the right eternity for you.

We'll get into all that later.

I think now's a good time. I'm dead.

Hey, there you go.

Acceptance.

We have some of your favorite clothes in the closet in case you want to check it

out.

have a devastating famine caused by a potato plant and the British exporting

their other food?

Well, not here.

Ever wanted to be the captain of your own? Do you hate clothes, but you need

them to keep warm? Well, here in Natural State 454, it's always a balmy

72 to 3.

Ooh, looking good, Jim.

He's cardiac and really hard suction, God damn it.

lost him but you found me if you suffered a violent uh please reach out

to our you know i did

Confusing time, huh?

Yes, actually.

Oh, sorry. I'm married.

What if I told you I could secure you a spot in the hottest eternity?

Marge, another policy.

No selling in the bar.

No selling in the bar.

Something strong, please.

First day?

So what are you, like an angel or something?

I don't know.

I'm a bartender.

Oh, shit. Do I have to get a job?

Only if you want to stay here.

So what are you thinking about? Where do you want to go from here?

I don't know. Somewhere sunny with a beach, I guess, but...

My wife won't like that, so I can't stay for long.

Did your EP go over the rules?

No, but she's been busy.

All right, well, look, the big thing is there's no switching eternities after

you've chosen. No visiting other eternities, no nothing.

Eternity is eternity.

It's forever.

What if I didn't go along with the rules? What are they going to do, kill

again? Technically, they can't kill you again, but you break a rule, you

overstay your welcome, or you try switching eternities, they'll put you

void. Is that like hell?

As close as there is.

It's just blackness.

For eternity.

My wife has cancer.

She's terminal.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Worst part about death is the guilt you feel for the ones you left behind.

I know, and I told her that I was always going to take care of her. And now

she's sick, and I deal with all this.

Can I get a picture with that?

That's absolutely disgusting.

Morning, sleepyhead.

Morning, sleepyhead.

What the hell?

What's going on? How did you get in here? You don't remember.

Remember what?

No, we didn't.

Did we?

No, I'm just joking. I have a key.

Why do you have a key? It's not important. So, you think we had a good

night? I'm dead. You wouldn't think hangovers would be a thing. I know,

It's a common misconception.

I had a question.

Hit me with it.

So, everyone working here, they don't want to go to their eternity. Why?

Some people haven't accepted death.

And some people are waiting for their loved ones.

And others haven't decided yet. And those are the worst ones.

So why did you stay?

That is a story for another time.

So tell me, where you going? Did you decide?

No, I need to see where Joan is.

How can I tell how close she is?

I'm sorry, it doesn't work like that. I can't do that. So all that looking down

from above stuff, that's just a bunch of BS?

You're annoying.

No, I'm not annoyed. You look annoyed.

What about everybody who died before me? Where's my parents? How do I see them?

Oh, you can definitely go see your parents. But then, you know, you'd be

Be with my parents for eternity.

Eternity.

That's why we usually recommend for you to do you.

And just know that everyone is existing pretty damn good. You know what I mean?

You know, Joan always thought of death as one more surprise ring around the

corner.

She loves surprises.

But she was a librarian though, right? Yeah, they can like surprises too. Oh.

So if I wanted to wait, what do I have to do? Get a job? Be a bartender?

No, you wish.

It's cleaning work.

Do you have any laundry?

Yeah.

At least the room is nice.

Yeah.

But it's for clients.

So if you don't decide, then you have to go.

Well, I was told there is no help.

the basement the rooms are more functional in the basement jesus he went

straight to hell

It could be tomorrow.

Or she could hang on for another, what, six, seven months?

I mean, I guess I could set everything up for her. And I could, you know, make

sure it's how she likes it. Really make it feel like home.

Larry, that is so romantic.

It is a little romantic. It's so romantic.

I can be romantic.

Because I know how she likes things. You do.

I really think you picked a good one. You are not going to regret this, lady.

Hey, uh, would you do me a favor?

Yeah, sure can do.

Could you get Joe on this letter for me? No can do. That's against the rules.

Plus, why do you need a letter when you got me?

It was a pleasure working with you.

Joe!

Joe! Joe!

Oh,

excuse

me. Excuse me. So, where am I?

And your A .C. will explain everything.

Okay. Okay.

You know, it's just a... Pardon me. Your A .C. will explain everything.

Oh!

Joan!

Joan! Joan! Joan!

Sweetie!

Ah, sweetie!

I missed you so much.

Wow, look at you.

Wow. I love you.

And then I just came from a... Amy, you look amazing.

Oh, every time. Ow.

God, every damn time, Larry.

I told you to slow down on the pretzels. But you know that you never listen. I

know, I know. Oh, you stop smiling. Jo?

Yeah? Listen to me, honey. I have shocking news.

You're dead.

Yeah, how'd you know?

I'm dead.

It took him forever to figure that out. Not forever.

Not forever.

No. So you are the famous Joan.

Okay, Larry.

Way to marry, huh?

So, uh, what now?

Yeah, so now... It was a cancer that took you away from the world.

So who are you?

Okay, honey, so listen. Now we finally get to have that holiday.

And basically, we can go anywhere we want, but then that's it. It's like a

-and -done thing here. They're very strict on that. And if you want to go to

mountains, we can, because the snow and the cold's not going to kill you now.

Because you're there.

I've been waiting for this golden goose for 67 goddamn years.

I'm sorry about her.

I'm Ryan.

I'm your afterlife coordinator.

I know this can be very, very overwhelming. It's a lot to absorb, so I

recommend just taking a deep breath in and out.

Just breathe.

Hey, what's going on, guy? This was my, uh, bartender.

I, um, I guess I forgot to pay the tab. I didn't realize there'd be a tab.

Nobody gave me any money.

No way.

Sorry, I forgot to ask your name. What's your name again?

I'm Luke.

It's just Luke. He's my bartender.

Oh, no.

I never dreamt you this clearly.

You're exactly how I dreamt you.

Or look, Mary.

No, Luke had a mustache.

Yeah, well, Joni hated it, so I shaved it off every morning, hoping she's gonna

show up.

Oh, my God, how romantic.

I'm dead.

Okay, sweetie.

Okay. What are you doing?

Larry. Okay, sweetie.

Let's go.

Husker? The second husband. I prefer current husband. The current husband.

Joan, you all right?

Oh, my God. Honey, it was a lot for me, too.

Joan? Okay. I have to insist that I explain exactly what's going on to my

client. She clearly has a very difficult decision to make.

So when you

said you were waiting... I conjure image every day in my mind.

I thought I did a good job.

She's more stunning than I remember.

Okay. That's a line, Luke.

You're my bartender.

Nope.

Nope.

Nope.

How do you look so young?

This will have to do.

Is he always that young?

It's a lot to take in. The love of your life waiting 67 years.

And Larry.

Larry is my husband.

One of two.

Yeah. Oh, that's pretty.

You'll feel much better after you change into that morbid ensemble.

Yeah,

that's pretty.

What's your ETA, doll?

How's it looking?

So, what am I supposed to do?

I need you to tell me what... Oh, my dear. Okay. I read your file, and you

smart, passionate, and decisive.

Oh, I am.

I have complete faith that you will choose the right eternity and the right

person to spend it with.

You'll do. Do for what?

Were you expecting someone?

Were you?

Oh, my God, Luke. What a surprise!

It's Ryan, and it's been Ryan the last half hour.

You look amazing.

I'm married.

To him.

To Larry.

And Larry seems nice.

You must have thought or hoped that this might happen.

Well, I mean, yeah, you know, I have imagined it. Great.

I'll leave you kids to it.

Hi.

Did you even read my file? Two more than words on a page to me, buddy. And you

didn't even bring it up. Yeah, well, I had a lot on my mind. I just died. So

sorry that I forgot to mention that my wife's ex might be hanging around.

Technically, I don't think we can call him her ex.

First husband maybe, but not her. No, I'm not calling him. I'm never calling

that. Okay, I'm just trying to anticipate what Brian's going to say. We

history. Great. What kind of history?

It was sexual.

Of course it was.

You know how many people wanted this case?

So many people.

What? A man that's waited half a century for his love?

That's kind of sad if you think about it. You really think that's the way the

gentleman's going to think about it?

I don't know. It's okay.

I'm sure they've had one of these before. I mean, I don't know about it.

never had it, but I bet you there's a process.

He looks like Montgomery Cliff.

Oh my gosh, I was saying that just the other day.

Montgomery Cliff.

He is so handsome.

Luke is so handsome. You're not helping.

I'm sorry, but it is what it is.

Luke is hot.

His eyes are bluer than the ocean. He has a better narrative.

No, he doesn't. I have a better narrative. I was married to her for 65

and I gave her children.

Exactly. We go with that. That's strong.

There's nothing more powerful than emotional blackmail. Right? Good on you.

So, how have you been?

Good, yeah.

Well, I mean, I've been obviously dead, but, you know, good.

Well, you look good.

Yeah. I mean, you know, you always looked good.

Oh, yeah, coming from you, huh?

Oh.

to think about what I was going to say.

And I had a long, long time.

And?

And I'm drawing a blank.

What the hell?

Gary.

Hey, Luke.

Working tonight?

Not tonight. Tonight, night off.

Wait.

Is this... Tone?

I hate you.

I want him like you made me. Gary!

Hey! No, I'm sick of this. Go, please! Keep your head down!

You see, I'm worse than the worst!

Oh, my God.

What did he do?

All he tried to escape was eternity.

Once you're chosen, you can't go back. You have to get it right.

Well, that's a lot of pressure.

Yeah, it is.

I remembered what I wanted to say to you first.

What?

I love you.

Oh, that's a good opener.

Yeah.

I know this is hard for you, but I missed you.

I thought about you every single day.

I wanted you to be happy.

I wanted you to have a life.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

But I waited.

You know, I waited because I wanted us to have a chance to have one too.

I'm going to be sick.

You okay? Oh, why can't you get sick yet?

You all right? Luke, Luke, please.

I need to think.

Hey, sweetie. So, I know this is a lot, but don't worry. I've been doing the

research. And here are some pretty good options. Options?

Yeah, for our eternity.

What?

Wow. You really look amazing.

Long hair suits you. Hello.

What? Oh.

Everything works here.

Oh, Larry!

What do you mean, Larry?

Well, it's complicated.

We were together a week ago.

Yeah, well, a lot has happened in a week. You died. Karen died. I died. I

been reunited with... with both of my dead husbands, and I learned that I have

only a week to pick where to spend eternity. Karen finally kicked it.

It's a big week for Oopty.

Wait, what? Hey.

I know what'll make you feel better. Oh, what?

Squatting. Oh, Jesus Christ.

Just try it.

Fine. I'm telling you. Okay. Come on. Okay, fine.

Go.

Yeah.

I know, right?

I got so low there. You did get so low there.

Yeah. It feels so good.

I've been doing a bunch of stuff.

Work it out. I miss these hips.

Look at this.

Look at this.

You were right. That did make me feel better. I knew.

Too much salt.

I need time.

Okay? I just need to clear my head.

Okay. You're right. I'm being insensitive.

And we can talk about it in the morning.

are you kidding me what are you doing i'm going to bed i'm tired too long day

for me

Sorry, buddy, but your seven days are up.

What?

Holy crap.

Holy crap, for God's sake, bloody hell. Are you sure you're not religious? Hey,

hey, hey, is he here?

Oh, yeah, he is, but it's sad, actually.

No, he's my Jewish favorite.

Him? Yeah, she loves him. Really? He's the best.

Okay. Hey, do you know him?

Yeah, of course I know him. Would he do you a favor?

Who you talking to? It's me, obviously, duh.

Are you sure?

Him, ass.

Okay.

Wow, look at this.

Single bed, that's nice, right?

We got ourselves here a kitchenette.

Handy.

Let's see what's in the fridge.

Oh, my gosh.

You are in luck.

Amen. You know what? It's fine.

You sort this out for me. I'll be out of here in no time. Oh, I love it. I love

it. You are focused.

Keeping your eyes open.

Surprise. Thomas.

No, it's not.

Germany wouldn't have been great if it wasn't for all the Nazis.

We'll think no more.

Joan, I promise you're going to like this.

You trust me, right?

Yeah. Okay.

Yeah.

She trusts me.

You look incredible.

Thanks, honey. Yeah.

Are you excited?

Sure. Got any ideas what you could be?

Nope.

Here we go. Oh, that's for you. Look at you. That's for you.

Need a little bubbles.

Oh, that's, um, yeah, that's sweet. What? Oh, no, that's not it. Oh, gosh.

Lights!

Look, look, look up there.

Not that.

Wait, there.

Everybody loves somebody.

I don't know if you're good or what. You really did. You did.

He sounds amazing.

Oh, he looks great.

He really does.

Oh, okay.

He still likes to drink.

Still for Jill.

Jill.

It's not Dean Martin.

Of course not.

It's Richard Young.

Oh, no.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

I thought you knew. I thought it was really weird. You kept saying, this is

Joni's baby. I was like, Richard?

Richard is Joni's baby? You knew that's not what I meant.

Well, now that I say it out loud, I understand that it does not make sense.

Please, I'm so lonely, babe. Also, he has a crippling old problem, and I

to mention it to you, and that's my baby.

That is your baby.

I can't fathom a scenario in which this could have gone worse.

Help old blue eyes with his little blue balls.

Oh, hey Luke.

Blue eyes was Frank.

The man, Luke.

It just got worse. It just got worse.

You okay?

Yes. Yeah? Yeah, thanks.

Just, I'm very grateful that you were passed. Well, actually, I was, I was,

You were, no.

Well, I was here.

Oh, no. I think, I think we got it. I have no idea. I didn't know what that

was doing. I think, what? I know, I'm trying.

Stop!

Stop it!

You two come with me.

No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. You two, you stay here.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Yeah, I could have handled that myself.

Yeah.

Is this hell?

Is this hell?

Technically, hell doesn't... No, no, no, I didn't say speak!

You ever work this place out?

Nay.

This gets more and more confusing.

Hey, honey, so we're talking about bending the rules just a minute. It was

idea. My idea.

I took his idea.

So, good news.

I talked to Frank. Actually, I talked to Frank. The point is, somebody talked to

Frank, they then talked to Tom, and then they talked to a guy way up top. The

big guy.

Kevin. And you got approved for a plan.

Anna, it's your second plan.

Okay, sorry. So, typically, you're Anna. You're Anna?

No. Okay.

So, typically, when you get here, you get to pick eternity, and that's it.

bang, boom. However, in this unique circumstance, you got approved for a

visa. Joan will be allowed two visits to an eternity, one with each of her

former husbands.

And then?

And then she'll decide.

Between the two of you. That seems like kind of a high -pressure scenario.

Okay, well, you could all choose the same eternity and then work it out from

there. But then you'd be in the same place together forever.

Oh, that could work.

No, I'm done with this guy creeping in the shadows. Creeping in the shadows?

Lurking. Lurking? Yeah, you're a lurker, pal. And you're waiting beyond to spoil

a half a century of marriage. Well, I'm sorry. I died spending our country. It

was Korea, buddy. Relax.

What'd you say? You didn't exactly storm the beaches in Normandy, did you?

What are you doing with him?

Hey! Hey!

Stop! Hit him back! Stop!

Stop it! Okay?

This is what we're doing!

So, just flip a coin and decide who's going first.

No. I will not stand for another man dating my wife.

Maybe you should have thought about that before you married another man's wife.

Voice!

Who's going first?

I have a coin.

Oh, shit.

Is that a pretzel?

No. I still eat pretzels.

Relax.

Heads or tails?

Heads.

I just forgot how handsome you were.

We were an attractive couple.

Everybody assumed that you got me pregnant and had to marry me.

Yeah, no, my mother, she was so upset when I told her that I wasn't because

wanted hot grandkids so badly.

Not that my kids are ugly. Sure that they are. Hot.

Not that I care.

I didn't assume.

Yeah, because I'm not into hot kids.

No, I'm not into hot kids either.

I'm not into kids.

Remember the sky being bluer?

How?

Was it always that shade?

Oh yeah, pretty much.

Is that cloud moving?

Yup.

They move.

Is

it

how you imagined it?

Perfect.

Can't say twice.

Can't say twice.

We didn't know where to put any of the trash, and so we didn't know they had a

place where the bears didn't get to.

It's cold.

Is it always this cold?

It's cold.

It's usually somewhere nice and warm, huh?

I don't like how Luke's been going around telling people he died in the

They don't mean dying in the war.

No, I know, but it's the way he says it, the war.

It's one of the cool ones.

Okay, I think we should stop squabbling about his obvious heroism, because I

don't think that's our strongest point of attack.

The problem is, Luke's always been a memory. Now, I don't know how you can

compete with a memory.

All we are are a collection of memories.

That's depressing.

Well, the point is, you're going to have to remind her of why she fell in love

with you in the first place.

I don't know why she fell in love with me.

Well, you're gonna have to figure that out.

And fast.

There's someone here I gotta find.

Okay, now we're cooking.

Now we're cooking.

My great -granddaughter Charlotte would love this place.

She's a little adventurer.

I guess I was her mother for that matter.

Sorry. It's fine.

I'm sure she misses you.

So is that okay?

You know, talking about... Yeah.

You're not angry with me? For what?

67 years. You know, I remarried after two years and you waited 67 years.

67 years.

One eternity's on the line.

One lifetime awaiting.

Seems like nothing.

Jesus, you are so perfect. I'm not perfect.

Oh, that's what perfect people say.

Fine. I hate hearing about your kids and your grandkids and the kids they had,

okay? I mean, I don't hate them, but... It killed me that

I didn't get to have all that with you.

I'm glad you've had it.

Glad you had a happy life.

I would go to the docks for you, for you to return.

Watching all the soldiers stream on to shore because I convinced myself that

they got it wrong.

That you would be among them and... I would just sit and watch.

Wait.

If I wasn't already dead, I'd be worried you're about to kill me.

Can you trust me? Oh, sure.

What?

Hello, Mr. Fenwick.

Jeff Fenwick.

Right, uh, we haven't been here before. Individual or shared?

Shared. Do not touch the exhibits. Remember, the exhibits aren't real. We

no responsibility for emotional trauma.

Happy reliving.

Ready? For what?

Every

eternity

has one. We call it Archive Tunnels. Which means?

I don't know. I've never been to an eternity before.

We can find out together.

Hi, what's your name?

I'm Joan.

What's your name? Luke.

Nice to meet you, Luke.

I'm so nervous. Look at me.

Look at you.

Oh,

no, no, no.

Come on.

You can't really go.

I love you.

I love you.

I'll stay in my life.

You should go.

Luke, please.

I don't want to do that.

You don't need to do that.

What's he doing? Can I just go, please?

Please.

Luke, please.

Will you marry me?

He made her death about him. But it's selfish is what it is. If you say so. So

who's Karen?

Oh, God.

She's a neighbor.

Longest serving member of the Ophelia Avenue HOA.

She won't let you forget it.

She would always leave these little sticky notes at my door. She's a very

passive, aggressive woman. Okay, here we are. Here we are.

Make some space, sonny.

Larry.

I heard about the pretzels. Karen, you're still old. I'm 72 now, thank you

much.

Yeah, no, sorry, it's just a weird age to be your happiest.

You remember when Jim died?

I was your happiest when your husband died? Oh, Jim was a dear.

But anyway, that summer when I went on that pottery retreat with my friend

Right. Well, Barb and I were lovers.

Oh? I went full lesbian for three months and it was fabulous.

But then I came back, and I had the kids and the grandkids and the church group,

and I just went back into that miserable old closet.

That explains why you were so mean to me.

Oh, no, I just didn't like you.

Right. I came around eventually.

You grow on people, Larry.

Mm -hmm.

I'm thinking Paris land.

It's basically Paris in the 60s, but they speak English with an accent.

And they have civil rights.

I take it you're waiting on Joan?

No, she's already here.

Oh, shit week for Oakdale.

So where are you guys going?

It's complicated.

Oh, are you gay too?

Honestly, that would be easier.

Look at you.

You seem so uncomfortable.

Hot. Think about it. The worst thing in the world has already happened to you.

You wish.

Do tell.

So, girl, this is what happened. Okay, listen.

I came here to ask a question, and God damn it, I'm going to ask Karen a

question. Then ask the question.

Karen, did Joan ever mention... Why do you think she fell

in love with me?

Karen, say something.

Anything.

Just say something.

Anything.

I don't know.

She just did.

I mean, I never thought she'd be happy again after Luke died, but you made her

happy. You made your life about making her happy.

Isn't that enough?

Luke is here.

Jones Luke?

He was so dreamy.

I used to pretend I fancied him. Of course I didn't. Because you're a big

lesbian. Exactly.

Wow.

He was perfect.

Hey, listen to me. No one is perfect.

No one is perfect.

Harry, don't be like that. No one is perfect.

Luke. Luke, would you calm down? About what?

if you just, if you think about it, it was his way of saying that he knew that

you would always be a part of it. Come on, Joan. He wormed his way in.

He manipulated you by using your grief. You're such a leech. That is not what

happened, okay?

You left.

I didn't leave. I died.

Would you have said yes if you weren't still grieving?

I never stopped grieving.

Would you say yes?

I am rooting for you, but this is not the way, okay? It's not even about them.

This is about you and Joan, the woman who you have loved for 65 beautiful

and have made her very happy.

This is about showing that same woman that you're willing to spend all of

eternity together to do the same thing. Now, is this going to make her happy?

Okay, cool. A kind of creep leaves her door unlocked.

Maybe he doesn't have anything to hide.

Everybody's got something to hide.

That's a little dramatic.

It's actually really hard to keep track of time here, so I applaud him. It's

very practical.

Larry, come on.

Ah, the perfect person. Look at this. You've never looked at porn before,

Mm -hmm. Mm -hmm.

Ah, what about this? Look at all these numbers on it. Yeah, it's numbers.

That one's got lipstick.

Mm -hmm. That means they're kissing.

Yeah, it's been 67 years. What would you do?

Larry, come on.

This is enough.

It's too much.

What am I doing?

Let's go. Let's just go.

What the... You goddamn snake.

Well, clearly the date didn't go too well. Oh, you took advantage of her.

What are you talking about? You made your engagement about me.

You used my death to worm your way in. Then I don't have to listen to this. I

don't have to listen to you on the phone. I genuinely hope she will find

someone. Yeah, right.

Unless she went mad all alone.

You!

I've got you.

I didn't betray you, Luke.

I didn't even know you.

Then why did you propose her to die?

What's wrong with these eternities?

Oh, some are full.

Others are just out of fashion.

Quite a few of them weren't very amazing.

So what happened to the people inside of them?

They are still in there, living out their afterlives.

You spent your entire life worrying about other people.

Now it's time to decide what's best for you.

Let me guess.

Luke is best for me.

I want you to choose Luke because it's the life you miss.

Eternity is a long time to have regrets.

But that's your decision to make.

What if I don't know what to choose?

Well, you need to figure it out.

Sorry.

Just have fun at the beach tomorrow.

It is paradise after all.

I didn't think it would be this busy.

Eh, fine. Very popular. It's okay.

I wonder if we can get an umbrella.

Yeah, you'd think that they would hand one to you, huh? For a chair?

Look at the view.

You are so beautiful, honey.

Oh.

I mean, you are beautiful, and you've always been beautiful, and you never

being beautiful.

You all right, though? This would have been a nice vacation.

I mean, it doesn't have to be here. If you want another eternity, you can go to

space for all I care, as long as Luke's not floating around.

You look pretty good yourself.

Okay, Larry, it's a child. He's probably 90.

I actually died when I was nine.

Oh.

Right. Hit and run.

At least it was quick.

It was not quick.

It was very, very slow.

Why don't we get out of here? Okay.

How was my funeral?

Decent turnout?

Yeah, you would have liked it.

Really? Well, I mean, you would have pretended to hate it, but it was nice.

Zach did the eulogy.

Did he try to be funny?

Yeah, he did. He did try to be funny, but, you know, it was sweet.

Kids are so devastated.

Who was the most devastated?

I'm not answering that.

Sweetie, I'm sorry I wasn't there when you, you know.

Yeah, but you were waiting for me when I arrived.

The kids will be happy that we're together.

I'm in an impossible situation.

No, I don't understand.

I understand you loved Luke.

I loved Sally Daniels in the ninth grade. He wasn't some childhood crush,

He was my husband.

Yeah, but we built a life together, and now you just want to throw it all away.

Well, I never had a chance to start a life with Luke, and God, he waited 67

years. Yeah, I get it. I would have done the same thing.

You knew I was close.

I was ready to wait for as long as it took.

I was.

It's getting late. We should head back, okay, honey?

You're an idiot, Larry.

Okay, hold on.

I'm holding on.

You gotta shift your weight. Okay, okay. Just don't hurt yourself.

I know, but you're gonna tip her.

I know, but you take a wrong turn in one of those things, you could be stuck in

your worst nightmare.

Okay, forget about it.

I thought it could be fun. I know, I'm just, I'm trying to protect you. No, you

are protecting yourself.

What are you so afraid you'll see?

Hmm?

It doesn't matter. It's fine.

No, no, it's going... Honey, it's okay.

It happened, isn't it?

Wait, Joan, look, they look miserable.

Larry, do you remember our first date?

What?

When we pulled over, do you remember what you said?

You said that this is the perfect place for a flat tire.

Wide shoulder, beautiful day, quiet road.

Until I realized I didn't have a spare.

Yeah, well, you never let me know it.

You seemed so broken back then, honey. I felt like I needed to be strong for

you.

I just wanted to make everything okay.

Right down to that flat tire.

And you did make everything okay.

We had a wonderful life together.

What's going on? Yeah, what are you doing? I think it's important you hear

Luke has to say. I'm so sorry, Larry. You should be, because after Larry broke

into my apartment... After he what?

No, the door was open for us to... Jesus, Larry.

What a big deal.

Sorry, what is that?

For the honors, look, that I can explain.

It sounds way worse than it is. Dear Joe... No, no, no, no.

We don't need to do this right now. I just wanted to know the truth. Hey, I

can... Let me talk to him.

Oh, go grovel.

Just... Okay, I know, but it's out of context.

I'm sorry, you said that you were willing to wait as long as it took, but

couldn't even last a measly week. I was. I honestly, I was just trying to set

apart eternity. And you just assumed that I would come find you? Well, yeah,

because you're my wife. I'm sorry, you were really willing to trick me into an

eternity? No, I wasn't trying to trick you, okay? I honestly, I swear to God, I

thought I was doing the right thing.

I just didn't think how I was killing myself over this.

I mean, you, you.

You are so selfish.

I'm being selfish? Yeah. You are being selfish because you're here trying to

decide between your man buffet of men.

And I guarantee you've already slept with Mr. Perfect over there. I'm not

perfect. As a matter of fact, I haven't. You know what? Yeah, I've thought about

it. I mean, who wouldn't want that kind of fiery, unsparred love?

Hell yeah.

No. I guess everyone's been right then.

About what, Larry?

That you never loved me.

The way that you loved him.

And that was just a consolation prize.

Well, I, uh... I know he would never lie to me. Oh, really?

Do you know that he dyes his hair? And do you know that he's got a worryingly

large porn collection? I know about the playboy.

He's unhinged. You okay, babe?

I'm not perfect!

Okay, yes, I dyed my hair, and yes, I slept with a few women over the last 60

years. Oh, okay, I mean, that's understandable.

And one guy.

One guy.

Don't lie.

Two. Two guys, just to see, both times.

And I went through that BDSM phase about 30 years ago. Remember like it was

yesterday? It was fun, but not for me.

Well, I didn't expect you to be a priest.

And I think I was beginning to bawl when I died. I comb it over.

Whatever. You keep saying I'm perfect. You keep saying I'm perfect. Everyone

keeps saying I'm perfect. I am not perfect. Nobody is perfect.

Finally. Thank you.

But I did wait.

I waited for you, Joni.

He should at least lose some points for all the sex.

It's not a competition, Larry. Yes, it is.

Sweetheart, is it 100 % for sure a competition? It is not a competition.

That's literally what we're here for.

Look, Joni.

I'm done with the games.

You need to decide if it's me or if it's him.

Yeah, you need to make the decision.

Who's it going to be?

Which one?

It's got to be one of us. You got a pick?

I think we need to give my client some time to think. Let's just go for a walk.

Better breathe a little.

I heard you kicked it too.

Sweetie.

Well,

I guess there's nothing more we can do.

It's up to her.

Just relax.

Get your mind off those boys.

They deserve this.

You know what's funny about you being here is that you actually knew me when I

was with both of them. Oh, for Christ's sake, Joe, drink.

Oh, sorry.

I got to close.

This one is for Korea. You're damn right. Not enough films made about it.

Well, except that.

What the hell is MASH?

Oh, man, you got to watch MASH.

And I choose.

Look.

Okay. No.

Larry.

Larry, okay?

I'm so sorry.

I don't think you're going bald. What are you talking about? No.

You can easily pass that off as a double crown.

You know what? I appreciate that. And you're pretty handsome yourself. You

have to say that. You're a catch.

You got that mysterious thing, like I'm thinking deep stuff. And women, they're

into that.

Really? Because I'm not.

I mean, honestly, I've been dead, and I haven't once thought about the meaning

of life.

They're like, this is it. I'm like, yeah, that makes sense to me. You're

Don't ever think it. You know who you are. You know what you want. You go and

get it.

You start thinking about all the infinite possibilities, and guess what?

You never move.

She doesn't. You are smart, you are handsome, and you're a war hero. And you

gave her kids.

I did. I bet you looked after them well.

Yeah, I did.

And at first, it was about Luke and me.

And then there were decisions about Clary and me.

And then, you know, it's about kids. Are you considering this eternity?

This one is about me.

And... You are...

dead you lived your life and now you're dead you have no obligations

to anyone maybe it's best you all have a clean slate it's just we have others

interested and i a little less of this a little more of this thank you honey

thank you you can go it's just she's a perfect person

she's a perfect person

Do we have a little headache this morning?

I've made my decision.

Okay.

I'll gather your husbands.

I need a shower.

Yeah, you do.

I'm so nervous.

Are you guys nervous?

You should definitely be nervous. You two, that doesn't mean that you should

more nervous than anybody else, but I'm just saying there's a lot of nerves

going all around you. Are you nervous?

Yeah, you sound nervous. I'm nervous.

You guys should both be shitting yourselves.

Shut up. Sorry.

My client has reached her decision.

Love is a bond greater than death.

But some bonds are, well, better bonded.

You have your ionic bonds.

You have your covalent bond. Your savings bond.

Male bond. Yeah, okay. That's good. That's really good. That's great. Thank

Thank you.

My first morning without you, I... God, I helped her with a bad dream. I... I

felt your toes burning downstairs.

I... I heard the rattle of the back door, and... You know, I even... I even

threw your... your pillows on the ground the way... the way you always did,

and... You know, I was pretending.

It's okay, honey.

And the... The funny thing is, is that I... I felt that before.

When, uh, when Luke died, we never had a chance to see

where our love would take us.

But you gave me everything that I needed in the time we had.

Yeah.

God,

how lucky am I to have had you both, you know?

And, uh...

Maybe things worked out the way they were meant to.

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that I choose.

I choose neither of you.

You're kidding, right? So you're going to hurt... Three people instead of one?

No, there was never going to be one.

Don't you get it?

I was going to be crushed either way.

But we built a life together.

Yeah, maybe the beauty in life is that, is that thing that,

maybe that's what this is all for.

So, now I choose neither of you.

Why do we even bother?

I mean, do we help?

Do we make a difference?

Of course we make a difference.

We annoy them.

They've just died.

They're scared.

It's better to be annoyed than to be scared.

Right?

You're sure about this?

I'm sure.

Let's go.

You were right, by the way. Even my proposal was about you.

You were the ghost I could never compete with.

Now, do you have any idea how jealous I am of you?

Not to have a life with her.

Hey, you know you were the last thing I saw before I died?

What do you mean?

I'm eating the pretzel and my great -granddaughter's. Charlotte? Yeah.

She owes me this old picture of you and Joan on your wedding day.

And then I started choking.

Yeah.

I gotta admit, you weren't who I was expecting.

You're exactly what I was expecting.

Minus the porn and hair dye.

About six months before I died, I was braying at the temples and, you know, I

just didn't care.

Because Joan and I just had this conversation about starting a family.

Everything was laid out in front of us.

happiest.

I'm 35.

Joan was pregnant with our second.

And we went out to dinner one night.

The doctor was telling us about all these new studies we're not supposed to

drink when you're pregnant.

And I got my glass of wine.

Joan took a sip of it.

And she just had this little smile on her face.

And, I don't know, but in that moment, it felt like we were a team.

You're AC. We'll explain everything.

What's a BC?

We can go to this cafe on the scent where a fake Sartre and fake Camus have

fight and they have great pain au chocolat.

Was Camus the one who always talked about that?

Because that just kind of seems... Wait, what's now?

Really?

You know, I read Sartre for beginners.

How do you say Sartre? Sartre. Sartre. Sartre. Sartre. And what's Larry doing

here?

Please,

Larry, I made up my mind, okay? You know this is best. Your hair is different.

Okay, thank you.

You never had it like that when we were together.

No, I cut it after.

Hey, it suits you.

Very.

You should go with Luke.

Okay? You deserve a shot of that kind of love, honey.

That fiery, sparky kind.

I was so, so happy with you.

I know.

I know you're happiest with him.

It's okay.

But what about you?

Don't worry about me. I'll be in the sun.

Knowing you're happy makes me happy.

But it doesn't work unless you're happy.

You better go break the news to Karen.

It's the right thing.

Hey.

Hi.

How are you holding up, Blair?

I'm all right.

No hard feelings, right, Larry?

For what it's worth, I totally thought you had it there for a moment.

Thanks.

What's this?

Are you two together now?

Yeah.

We're gonna give it to you. You really showed us that living without someone is

a hollow mess.

What? I'm sorry.

Okay. Give us a minute. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I miss you already.

God.

I gotta say, I'm really proud of you, Larry.

You're doing the right thing.

I feel terrible.

Yeah, that happens.

Sometimes doing the right thing does feel terrible.

So you never told me why you ended up staying here.

Um, coming here.

I'll just say that coming here was an improvement for me.

Here, I get to help lost souls find their happiness.

And that gives me a sense of purpose.

But after time, you stop caring about what's best for people.

You're just pushing them along and make sure the afterlife is taking over, you

know? So, so, so.

But then, you came along.

Yep, with that great ordinary love.

And you reminded me of why I chose this place.

So thank you for that, Larry.

Well, I guess you're welcome.

So... Have you chosen your eternity?

Yeah.

I think I have.

Okay, come on. Oh, gosh. Oh, no.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, old age, cancer.

Four. Oh, more. Which one? One or two?

Korea.

Which count?

Oh. Yeah.

Wait. Wait.

All done.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hi.

So you like books?

Yeah, well, I'm very himself.

Can I help you with something?

Yeah, I can read.

That's good.

You're in the right place.

What's that one?

Dickens, Great Excitation.

Any good?

Um, you know, I haven't read it.

That's because I don't really love Dickens.

It's a big controversy.

Yeah, I hate him.

You're doing a nice work. Oh, thank you.

I'm Joan.

Larry. Nice to meet you, Larry. Nice to meet you.

That's it.

Slow and steady.

You got the good work, Joan. Oh, yeah. Thanks, Simon.

Good.

Yeah, really good. Come on, Scott.

Four months old and he's already shitting like a man.

That's my boy.

You sure you don't want to come?

The powder's fresh, J -Bay. Oh, I got plenty of powder yesterday.

He powdered out, so.

You sure?

Uh -huh.

Have fun.

Okay. Oh, I love you, too.

Bye.

You sure?

You know, people die at these things.

I saw it on the internet.

It's a gender reveal party.

Illegal and stupid.

Just let them make a closet. I mean, I get, you know, eliminating the surprise,

but it's not a party.

One of the great joys of my life has been allowing for surprises. Remember,

you were a big bit, that was a girl.

Everything has to be a party nowadays.

Everything has to be an event.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Look, lady, it's not too healthy to be coming back here all the time.

It's important to move on.

It's perfect, huh?

Huh?

You okay?

i booked this on a hot air balloon later on and uh there's a new couple

in unit nine i think they uh oh i think they've made great doubles partners i

mean any more new people i'm going to explode and then what would you complain

about what come on joanie you love to complain it's not a thing

people love

you okay i made a mistake did you lose the skis again

no i uh i

made a mistake coming here with you

what i do wrong now nothing oh nothing no you're perfect i know you say you're

not but you are you are kind and brave and smart that's how i know i waited

all these years for this this why can't you just enjoy

it we're in a literal paradise sorry i didn't realize it sooner i think i just

What happened every time? Maybe it would have worked between us in life. You

know, maybe not. But I can't pretend that my world didn't continue without

I am not asking you to.

I have never asked it of you. I like you and I'm hiding.

What's that supposed to mean? I grit my teeth every single day so you can go to

that damn tunnel.

Joni, we were happiest together.

Yeah, of course we were.

It was young love. It was love without the burden of a mortgage or a job or

kids. It was, you know, the kind of love you feel before knowing loss. It was

everything. But love isn't just one happy moment, right? It's a million.

And it's bickering in the car and supporting someone when they need it.

growing together and looking after each other. We can grow together now. We can

look after each other now. I mean, look.

Honestly, am I living up to the memory?

You waited so long in that artificial place, but here, this is

real.

And you're living, and I'm giving you permission.

Go live without me. Oh, you're giving me permission?

Are you? Are you giving me permission? Okay, I'm sorry. That was a little

condescending, but sorry. I'm a humble servant. Thank you so much for the

permission. I'm sorry.

This is not fair.

This is not fair.

I know.

But I have to go back.

Get out of your mind.

The moment you step through a red door, they'll find you.

They'll put you into the void.

I have to try.

No, you don't. You can stay here with me.

Please stay.

Give me the keys.

You know

that

will work.

I can't wait on doing this.

You're gonna need a distraction.

Luca... I'm so sorry.

Hey.

Why do you know?

So you remember how I used to do some local theater?

Please don't touch the exhibits.

Remember, the exhibits aren't real.

She left.

Oh,

buddy.

I know it's tough. I know, I know. But trust me, it'll get better. It's okay.

It's okay.

That's right. Just let it out, Vicar. Let it out.

Let it out. Let it all out. It's okay.

It's tough today, but there's always tomorrow.

That's right, that's right. Okay.

Okay. That's been a good cry.

I get that.

I remember when my old... Anyway, thanks. I'm gonna pop in for, uh... For

time's sake.

Yeah, but you didn't take a ticket.

I need to stop being such a giver.

It was the last time. I promise.

Will you please just calm down and let's discuss this?

Don't you dare! Get in here! Get in here! Get

in here!

We're

sorry

if we lost you. No, no, no.

I don't want to have the conversation again.

I need to know which eternity Larry Cutler went to. Ma 'am, there were 425

,000 Larry Cutlers. Could you be more specific?

I'm thinking a lot about it, and you know, I think that maybe they should

consider being poly.

I'm not much of a multitasker, babe. What? I'm a one -woman man. Oh, my God.

Watch where you're going, babe.

Hold it.

Can I see a woman come running this way?

No.

Shoo it that way. Thanks.

Good luck, you guys.

Let's go. Move.

You're such a romantic.

We can linger into one of those old, disused eternities. Not one of the

ones, but you'll be safe there. Security never checks. Where did he go?

Who?

Where's Larry?

Where is he?

That's a lot out there, huh?

Intense.

I know somewhere you could really unwind. Come on, Lodge. You know the

I'm just trying to have a girl out.

I know what I want now.

I could show you my eternity, just around the corner.

You heard the lady.

I preferred the last barman.

You look like you could use a drink.

Oh.

You never left.

Sand really does get everywhere.

Turns out that the cold is just cold.

Is that for you?

Oh, yeah. I'm kind of a fugitive.

Where are you going to go?

I know a place.

Well, looks like Oakdale.

Perfect.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.
