Sam,

Can I help you? I get my black coffee.

Sure.

Thank you.

It.

Sam,

I love that book so much.

It's. I just finished it last week.

It's. It's incredible.

It's like I really, really, really admire it and.

All right.

I'm sorry.

I. I didn't mean.

Genuinely, I'm sorry.

I was just saying I'm not.

I'm not hitting on you.

I. Sorry, what do you.

What do you mean, genuinely? I admire the book.

I'm deaf in this one.

You're deaf? Yeah.

This one, though, I can.

Oh,

Yeah. Do you want to start over? We could just try.

Try it again, maybe.

You want to try? Just do it again.

Do it.

Okay. Okay.

I was absolutely certain I was being trapped and that you were recording me

and I was gonna be all over the Internet.

But I now understand that the only thing that could have saved me was a

second. First impression.

Yeah. So funny.

Great. So I'm gonna start there and then go on to the first date.

Good. So what'd you think of the ending? Ending of what? Of the book.

I just finished it.

Oh. I don't know.

I feel like I didn't get it, you know, Like I was missing something.

Yeah, no, I know what you mean.

I think.

Yeah, me neither.

Really, because.

Did she die? Is that like.

Do you think that's what it was? I think so.

I think.

I think so.

Just. That doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't? Well, no.

Cause you remember, that's like the mirror thing.

Wait, which mirror? The whole thing at the end with the mirror.

I thought it was just more of a kind of metaphor for, like.

I just didn't really realize it was real in the sense that the mirror was.

The mirror was.

I. I don't even know.

Don't even know where to take this.

I didn't read the book and I'm.

Yeah. What? I think I just glitched when I saw you, and I just wanted.

I wanted to talk to you, and I didn't have anything, so.

That's weird.

Um. Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

I didn't.

Weird little freak.

Weird little British freak.

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize you actually doubled down.

Yeah, what was I supposed to do? How about reading the book for a first

date? I don't know.

That's a lot weirder.

No. How's that weirder? I don't know.

It just feels weirder somehow.

Okay, don't agree, but go on.

So I want to say this thing about her laugh.

Do you know how it's Kind of like.

It's very cute, but it's also kind of, like, repulsive, even.

Yeah. Okay.

And then if she laughs, then I can point it out and be like.

And there it is.

I did.

I said, if everyone knows he's a piece of shit, then why are we doing a

retrospective in the first place? It's, like, so incredibly irresponsible.

No one ever cares until it's too late, and then it always ends up backfiring

on me.

Emma, I'm being serious.

It's not funny.

No, I agree with you.

This is not funny at all.

It's very serious.

You're laughing.

I love how you always find a way to turn my drama into a comedy, and then.

I don't know what.

I kind of want to say something about.

No, no.

Why do you want to talk about fucking in front of your family or her family?

No, I don't want to say, like, directly.

I always want to kind of allude to it somehow, because I just think we've

always had this sort of, like, an incredible chemistry that's just.

Yeah, no, do that.

Do exactly that.

Okay. What if I said licentious or languish? Just skip this part completely.

What? And just go straight to the crying thing.

It's just, you know, it's my first time saying it out loud, so I feel like

I'll get it on the day.

You know, maybe you should start with something funny so you're not, like,

immediately in tears.

But it's kind of sweet.

It's endearing.

Yeah, but you want to look good.

Crying makes you look kind of ugly.

What? You.

The general.

You like women? What about the first time you met? Wasn't that kind of a

funny story? I love that book.

I just.

Oh, no, she can't tell that one.

Why not? What stories are you gonna do? What do you mean by my speech? Yeah,

we'll just have to wait and see.

No, no, no.

So we don't, you know, like, say the same things.

Are we gonna use the first time we met? Yes.

Okay, well, what about the first date? Yeah, of course.

You don't have to do a speech.

First kiss.

Wait, so you can just, like, go in? Whatever.

Yeah, I do it all the time.

Oh, so you bring all the girls here? Yeah, when I'm, like, working late.

Oh, yeah, when you're working late.

Yeah. Okay, this is like.

This is like a childhood dream.

You know, like sneaking into a mall or library at night.

Oh, your dreams are about to come true.

Wow.

Is it not working?

Wait, so he trapped You.

It wasn't planned, Rachel.

What about the time you thought you had a.

Who is that? H.

Oh, it's just Charlie.

I left my wallet.

Who's Charlie? He's my boyfriend, I guess.

Are you okay? Yeah.

No, I'm fine.

I don't know.

Can you.

Can you just get something?

So, what was it? It was just like, feelings.

Feelings? Yeah.

What do you mean? Like intense butterflies.

No, I get that.

But it wasn't your first time? I don't know.

So you're saying Charlie is your first love? Yeah.

Your first love or your first crush? Both, I think.

What, is that insane? I'm 30.

Well, I mean, like, I was 28 when we met, so.

Still. I don't know.

I used to be ugly.

Oh, come on.

Don't freak out, but there's a giant spider that's crawling up your back and

it's almost into your hair.

Just don't panic.

Nothing. No, no.

I feel like you just.

You just have to do it louder.

Okay. I love you so much at homes.

I can't be without you.

Scary. Because I kind of.

I want to marry you.

I'm too afraid to even ask.

I think I caught that.

You did? A hairy knife.

A what? Did you say something about, like, a hairy knife? No, no, that's not

even a thing.

You okay? Yeah.

No, it's good.

Oh, come on.

You want to be a bit more specific than that? Yeah, it's a little corny in a

wedding speech kind of way, but it's.

All the pieces are there, you know? I think you had it all right.

You got cry and say it sometimes.

And looking at each other.

I want to lay with you in an open field where yellow flowers are sons of

earth I want to lay with you with you in an open field Feel where tomorrow

is of yesterday's birth night I want to be with you in the morning when you

Drag, step, step in I hope to be with you when you hope to feel like grown

Living with your love along the.

Okay, not bad.

Not bad.

Still a little difficulty in the middle section, but overall, much better.

Thanks. Let's just do it again.

Okay. Okay.

What? I just.

I don't know, I feel like we should just dance normally, right? What do you

mean? Well, just the.

I don't know, it kind of feels a little performative.

It's a wedding, it's performative by nature.

Yeah, I think if we just do it a couple more times, I'm gonna get it

perfect. I just woke up, I can't make up new choreography.

Right on the spot.

Yeah, okay, well, just hear me out, hear me out.

Come on.

Please, please, please, please,

Please. What's this? She puts this on when I'm in a bad mood just to fuck

with me.

You like this song? You do? You f.

Cking dancing? What does this mean? Come on.

You're too cute.

Hey, can we stop fucking around? What the fuck was that about? It's like,

why does she care so much? Just doesn't like it when you don't take it

seriously enough.

Shut up.

You know what I mean? You know, she's just like so intense and she doesn't

smile. Like.

I've literally never seen her smile.

It's performative by nature.

What? I think that was Pauline.

Oh, where? She's on the corner, like, smoking heroin.

Wait, are you serious? Yeah.

What, like our pollen? Uh huh.

No, I mean, it's probably not.

That's hot.

Okay, go look.

Okay.

It was her.

It was the fucking wedding dj.

You're kidding.

Are you sure it was heroin? Well, we can't like, prove it was heroin.

It was like she was smoking a thing, like a piece of foil.

Like, what else? Like, what else could that possibly be? Did you talk to

her? No, no, no, she didn't.

She didn't see us.

Oh, wait, what are you gonna do? I don't know.

I think we just get somebody else, I guess.

The wedding is this Saturday.

Well, we just got like a playlist or something.

No, no, you need to dj.

Trust me.

Me? Who? Who did you ask? No one.

It was a disaster.

Are you just afraid you're not gonna find someone else? No, I just.

I don't know.

It's not like a deal breaker, right? Like, people do drugs.

Babe, there's drugs and then there's heroin.

That's the line.

She's. She's not performing surgery.

She's like, She's a dj.

But isn't it more the fact that she was doing it out in the street? Like,

doesn't that say something about where she's at? Okay, she Wasn't like on

the street.

It was like.

It was like a party or something.

I was like, there's a whole bunch of other crackers.

Why are you trying to be her publicist all of a sudden? I don't know.

I just don't want to like dismiss her because of this one thing, you know?

Just checking in.

How was that mushroom risotto? So good.

Really, really good.

Yeah. Yeah.

Any more time to think or can we commit? Do you wanna? Yeah.

Commit. Yes, we commit to it.

We'll commit to it.

Just so you know, it kind of has to be.

Be final this time, so.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We. We totally get it.

Thank you.

And can.

Is there any way of getting another glass of skin contact? Cuz I haven't

quite made my mind about the wine yet.

Okay. Yeah, me too, actually.

Sorry,

We're not a bar.

You know, I barely touch the food at our wedding.

Too much adrenaline.

Yeah, and then we ran around at 2am Looking for a slice of pizza.

We should go to the diner.

What, Andy's? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And like they're open late on the wedding night.

Andy's? Yeah.

It would be fun.

You know, like actors, when they win the Oscar and they go in their tuxes

and it's fancy, they order hamburgers.

Cute. Cool.

Yeah, I mean, like, maybe.

Don't they actually sell crack out of that place? Yes.

That reminds me.

What are we gonna do about DJ Overdose? Don't be mean.

No, just replace her.

It can't be that hard.

This wouldn't even be a conversation if we hadn't like randomly seen her

today. Yeah, but we did.

And now I'm like a fixate over it.

Okay, but that's like a you problem though, okay? What if she was a

pedophile? What? Like, what would it take for you to fire.

It's really fucking different, I feel like, from doing drugs.

Right. You know, everybody knows if you bring a pedo to a wedding, it's just

like. It's bad vibes.

Bad vibes all around.

A heroin addict, on the other hand, that could be great vibes.

Okay. Yeah, it's party vibes.

Exactly. It might be a little fun.

Okay. For all we know, we could have caught her on our worst day.

Yeah, but you caught her.

Isn't that Boy.

Why are you acting like you've never done anything bad? Not that bad.

What about the dog story? They don't.

What? Wow.

Okay. What's the dog story? It's nothing.

Just tell the story.

No, Rachel, please.

Before we got married, we did this Thing where we said the worst thing we've

ever done.

Yes. And then we said we'd never speak about it again.

Are you kidding? Just.

It's fine.

Do you want me to tell it? No, I don't want anyone to tell it.

Wait, did you, like, fuck a dog? I didn't fuck a dog.

Well, I thought that's what you were gonna say.

Come on.

I'll do mine, too.

Fuck, man.

Okay, I'll tell mine if we all do it.

Great. Yeah.

Promise? Mm.

Promise. Okay.

What? This is about an ex girlfriend I was dating when I was in college.

Who, Tessa? Yeah.

So we'd been dating for about a year, and it was her birthday, so we went

down to Mexico to celebrate, and she.

Well, she had anger issues, and she didn't really seem grateful for the

trip. And we argued a lot.

It was just really soft.

Sugarcoat it.

Okay. I'm just saying, you know, the vibes.

The vibes are already off.

Right. So.

Okay. Anyway.

One night, we're walking home from a bar.

This is actually on her birthday.

Yeah. And we're cutting through this back alley to get to our place, and

this dog comes out of nowhere, barking.

And no owner in sight.

Just a wild, crazy street dog.

And instinctively, she starts kicking at it, which only makes the dog more

aggressive, and it actually starts biting her.

And what did you do?

I kind of, sort of, you know, just moved on.

He used her as a human shield.

That's what you said.

You said you held her in front of you to avoid getting bitten.

Yeah, okay.

I used her as a human shield.

Thank you.

On her birthday.

It makes a difference.

Really? What a horrible little piece of shit you are.

Oh, no, he still is.

Yeah. Okay.

Let's hear yours then.

No. I regret it.

No, Rachel, you have to.

I can't.

No, I can't.

I'm sorry.

I can't.

If you don't tell them, I will.

And I'll make it sound so much worse.

Okay, just give me a second.

I need a moment.

Okay. She.

I locked a kid in the closet.

Okay. Oh, come on.

The full story.

All right.

So I had this really weird neighbor growing up.

He was a few years younger than me.

He was a little slow.

And he came over to my house one day wanting to show me some abandoned RV

that he had found in the woods.

And I don't know, I must have been bored that day, because I just went with

it. And it was really out of the way, like, deep in the forest.

And when we got there, it was disgusting, it smelled bad, and there Was like

beer bottles and porn everywhere.

Ooh, this is where you met Mike? And at first I was like, why am I here? And

then I noticed this empty closet and I dared him to get in it.

And I don't know what came over me, but I slammed the door and I locked it

and he immediately started screaming really loud and I didn't know what to

do, so I ran away.

Yeah, why didn't you just open it? Well, he was, like, going crazy crazy,

and it freaked me out, so I just ran home and I didn't say anything.

What? And wait, what happened to him? I don't know.

What do you mean? I remember Darker Twist.

I remember his dad coming over later that day.

You know, he asked me what was going on, if I knew where his son was.

And I was just so scared that I was going to get in trouble that I didn't

tell him.

And the next morning when I woke up, there was like a full search party

going. You left him there overnight? Yeah, but they found him.

They found him.

Don't worry, he's alive.

He's alive.

But no one ever asked me about it and it never came back to me.

For some reason.

He was terrified of you, obviously.

Yeah, maybe.

Well, what would you have done if, like, they hadn't found him? Oh, I would

have said something.

I mean, it kind of sounds like you didn't.

Well, they found him.

I didn't have to say anything.

What's yours then, Charlie? Lunch.

Harley, what's the worst thing I've ever done? And don't around, man.

The worst one.

Don't us.

I, I, I don't know.

I don't, I don't, I honestly, I, I don't know.

I honestly.

No, that.

You have to say something.

I, I, I cyber bullied someone really badly when I was in school

when must have been like, 14, I think.

Yeah, but like, how bad are we talking? No, not badly.

He moved.

His entire family moved.

Because of the bullying? Yeah.

Yeah, like, yeah, but when I think about it, it could have been a

coincidence, but, like, it's sort of lame.

But they did move.

And he was crying.

Made him cry.

You were 14.

Who cares? Your brain doesn't even fully develop until you're 25 and yours

never got there.

Why are we all ganging up on me today? I didn't say anything.

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, Emma.

What about Emma? I didn't mean.

No, like, I think you were still.

No, no, no, no.

He's disqualified.

We're moving on.

Come on.

Yeah, come on.

Give us something good.

Give us some hot tea.

Mm.

Do you know what it is? I don't know.

Do I.

Do I know what this is? Come on.

Come on.

Don't pussy out on us now.

Okay? I.

I, like, almost did a mass shooting.

What do you mean? What do you mean? Like, when I was 15, I was, like,

really, really fucked up back then, and, yeah, I, like, planned to bring a

weapon to school.

I'd, like, do a school shooting.

What? Yeah, I think I was, like, actually gonna do it.

I think I almost did one.

Come on.

You're joking.

Like, you, like, fantasized about it? No, like.

Like, I.

I had a weapon and I brought it to school, which.

Yeah. What weapon? It's my dad's rifle.

No. No, I don't.

I don't believe this for a second.

No, it's true.

I mean, it's.

It's actually why I'm deaf.

I was practicing in the woods and.

And I held the gun too close.

What? Yeah, you said you had that since birth.

What do you.

Well, I didn't, like, want to say, but, yeah, I was holding it, and then my

ear popped and there's all this blood.

And, yeah, that was that.

Yeah,

but I didn't.

I didn't do anything.

I didn't, like, actually do anything.

I know it's, like, insane to have the fucking, like, idea, but I didn't.

Yeah, I didn't actually do anything.

You know my cousin's in a wheelchair because of a shooting, right?

I. I didn't know that.

No. Are you fucking serious? Wait, wait, wait.

Are you being.

Are you being serious about.

Is this, like, a real thing? Like, this is so disturbing, I don't even know

how to respond to this.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have said you planned a school shooting.

I mean, I was 15 years old.

Oh, you were 15? So what does that make it? Okay, you were 15? No, that's

not what I'm saying.

I just.

I'm sorry.

I'm drunk.

Oh, you're drunk.

So what does that mean? Are you lying? Rachel, just stop yelling.

At what? The.

Stop yelling.

You know what? Fuck this.

We're leaving.

Mike. Rachel, I know that this sounds insane.

I get that.

It's just that at the time, I was really depressed.

Depressed. And I.

Hey, look, I'm going to order an Uber.

Calm down for a second.

Sam is actually paralyzed because of that.

Who's Sam? My cousin.

My cousin.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

What. His name is Samantha.

I've told you about her.

Is Everything all right? Yeah.

Can we get some water? Oh, my God.

Seven minutes.

You do have the key set in your pouch? Sorry, I don't have the key.

I checked.

I checked on the way here.

I already checked.

Not in there.

You see? I can hear that.

I did this already.

Oh,

Charlie. I didn't.

Emma. I mean, for tonight to be like that.

I didn't.

Let's just talk about in the morning.

Are you sure? Because I feel like.

Yes, you're fucked up.

I don't want to talk to you right now.

So I'm fucked up.

You are.

Let's just go to bed.

Okay. How'd you get so drunk? Sam,

Is that you? Yeah.

What? Why did you wear glasses? Can you send this to me? No.

No, I cannot.

Why not? Because I look ins.

Sa.

Charlie.

Charlie.

I mean, she's insane.

She's insane, right? Yeah.

I mean, she's obviously not the person you thought she was.

Wedding weekend.

My family's flying in on Friday, and I've spent so much money.

Oh. We'll worry about that stuff later, all right? You're not marrying a

psychopath. Right.

Fly back to London.

Leave right now.

Don't even go back to the apartment.

Get away as fast as you can.

I'll take care of it.

I'll call the police.

I'll beat her up.

Whatever you want.

Thank you.

Sa.

I'm really sorry about last night.

Yeah, that was.

Do you hate me? No.

Just, like.

What? I mean, was it true?

I just.

There's no way.

I haven't.

I'm just having a really hard time believing.

Why would I make something like that up? It's so they just know.

They're gonna tell me.

Maybe.

Then why say it in front of everybody? I didn't planet.

You know, it just.

I was drunk.

Mm.

I mean, will you.

Can we just forget about it? Like, I.

I won't bring it up.

You. You don't bring it up, and we just, like, forget about it.

We just don't.

I kind of think I have to know.

Cause otherwise I'm gonna be assuming,

Like, why.

How did you even get the.

Why did you want to shoot up your school? Don't say.

Don't say it like that.

Well, that's what you said.

You said you planned a school shooting.

I get it.

I just.

Please,

I don't want you to fixate on this.

You know how you are.

You. What the fuck are you talking about? Like, do you think it's gonna be

better

we should just do this later? Why? Well, because I feel like shit, and we're

supposed to meet Frances.

Oh, you just cancel Frances? Like, no, we can't.

I mean, it's like, her only time, apparently.

You know? Unless you don't want to go through with it anymore.

Do you not want to get married, Emma? Of course I want to get married.

I just.

I just want to be able to talk to you about it.

Like, was this.

When was this? It was in high school.

Then we sort of settled down when I was, like, seven.

And I was fine then.

I think I had friends and stuff.

Um, then we moved again when I was, like, 14.

Where to? Louisiana.

Right? Yeah.

I just.

I didn't make any new friends, and I thought everyone hated me, and I.

I'm butt naked in my bedroom with the light.

Standard life.

Damn. Pocket.

Sorry. Fuck you.

That was it? No, no, I mean, like, there was other stu.

I just.

That was one example.

Ever heard of deodorant, bitch? You know, like, shit like that.

So how'd you go from there to.

How does a child even get the idea? I mean, it wasn't like an original idea.

Shootings all the time.

I guess I was just, like, intrigued.

Intrigued? Yeah.

By what? Like, the aesthetics of it.

Of what? Of shootings.

It was like a whole thing online, and I just.

I think I just thought it looked cool.

I don't know, I just started to, like, believe this character that I was

playing. And I guess it, like, got me a lot of attention because I was a

girl. What? We have to go.

I'll shoot you first, then your parents.

Then I'll shoot you and your parents.

Then I'll do the maid.

Grandparents. And you don't have any siblings, right? No.

Okay, then I'll shoot ring bearer.

Then I'll get your full length back of dress, putting on veil.

Then I'll shoot you.

Same thing with and without parents.

With best man.

Then grandparents.

I don't think they can make it.

They're not coming.

Just the travel might be a bit much.

Okay. Shooting grandparents.

Tbd. But then I'll get your full length and then we'll do a close up of the

rings, signing the certificate, the first dance, cake cutting, bouquet toss,

and then I'm just gonna get, like, a bunch of candids throughout.

Yeah. Does that feel like it covers everything? Mm, yeah, I think so.

Yeah. Okay, I'll send you the shot list and you let me know if you want to

add anything.

Cool. Okay.

Am I sensing some nerves? A little camera shy? Why don't I think that.

Why don't we.

Let's do a little warm up let's do a little warm up.

So we're feeling, you know, like, revved up and comfortable on the day.

Yeah. All right, let's try it.

Let's do a little warm up about our feet.

Okay, Just leave your coats there and.

Yeah, just stand right there.

That's right, that's right.

Just split that mark.

Okay. See how this looks? All right.

Charlie can move a little closer to the love of your life.

There we go.

All right, so think about what you want to express.

Think about what you love about your partner.

So, Emma, what's your favorite thing about Charlie? Um, I love that he's

very smart, very caring and open minded and understanding and handsome,

obviously. So.

Okay, good, good, good.

Okay, so keep those things in mind.

Okay, Charlie, what's your favorite thing about Emma?

She's kind and empathetic.

And funny.

She's beautiful.

Empathetic. Double empathy.

That's good.

Okay, so hold on to those thoughts, okay? And we're just gonna send them

into the camera.

Don't forget to smile.

Really smile.

Okay. Yeah, just smile naturally.

Yeah, just a.

Yeah, Charlie, just a completely.

Just a completely natural smile.

Yeah, just like how you would smile in life.

Okay, Ben, let's get some music.

Let's get some vibes.

Okay. Shake things up a little.

Yeah. All right, Good, good.

That's a real smile.

That was real.

That's what I was looking for.

Okay, put a hand on his chest.

Okay. Oh, bling.

There we go.

Love it.

Yeah. Okay, and remember, you know each other really well.

You're completely comfortable together.

Okay? Yeah.

Emma, fall into him.

Just rest your.

We're in love we want to show it to the world we found love that we're gonna

have forever.

Right, Charlie? You're still here.

You get to be with this beautiful woman.

Empathetic woman.

We know that.

Good, good smiles.

Good smiles.

Good. You two.

Okay, that's nice.

You guys look great.

Okay. You know, I think that we'll.

We'll. We'll get there on the day.

Okay?

Okay. Okay.

Thank you.

Okay. Jesus.

Are you kidding me?

This is a crosswalk.

People cross here, girl, get the out of the way.

I'm not getting out the way.

It's a crosswalk, dumbass.

Right?

Oh, sorry.

What the are you doing? I won't do that anymore.

I just don't really like being slapped.

Hey, thanks for waiting.

So how's it all going? Sorry, did I interrupt anything? No, it's great.

Yeah? Okay.

Cool. Long night.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know.

Me too.

Should we check out what we were talking about? Yeah.

Okay.

Did you actually like the lilies? Cuz I can call them back if you didn't.

Uh, no, it's fine.

Yeah. Okay.

You okay?

How close did he get? Probably want to know why.

Why'd she do it? What's wrong with her? Well.

Hey, fucker.

Hey, fucker.

You wanna fucking die?

Hi. By the time you see this, I'll most likely already be gone.

And now you're wondering why? Why'd she.

Oh, my God.

There's a shooting.

What? Yeah, at the mall.

People are like jumping out of windows and shit right now.

Oh, my God.

I was just there.

What the fuck is going on? Wait, there was another mass shooting? Well,

technically it was a mass shooting, but yeah.

What do you mean? Only three people died? It has to be four or more.

Oh, okay.

And that's the reason you didn't do it? Cause someone else.

That's the reason you didn't do it? Cause somebody else just got there

first. I just got the news that Marcus didn't make it.

He passed away earlier today at the hospital.

Who the fuck does something like that? Like, what is wrong with you? You

know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah. It's like, how can someone even, like, get the idea.

Yeah. With being here with each other in a moment like this and really

seeing each other, really hearing each other, feeling each other.

Some of us might be scared.

Some of us might be angry.

I bet some of us are confused today, aren't we? That's okay.

We ain't gonna run away from those feelings today.

So here's what we're gonna do.

I want to try and exercise with y'.

All. Alright, everybody get up on your feet real quick.

What I want you to do is to start slowly walking around.

Good. Now after a moment, I want you to stop.

Okay? Look at that person that's right in front of you.

See if you can sense what they're experiencing right now.

Yeah. Okay.

Any other thoughts? I don't know.

I just feel like this is like specifically a male problem, right? Like it's

always some angry, crazy guy.

Emma? Hmm? You don't agree? No.

There's been a few.

A few what? Mass shootings.

By women.

Well, not in America.

Yeah. I mean, there's even that song I don't like, Mondays.

What? It's about a woman who shot a bunch of people from her window because

she hated Mondays.

It's not just men.

And they're not all crazy.

A lot of them are shockingly normal.

Look them in the eyes.

Acknowledge them.

Be with them.

Be aware of them.

Say it's okay if you're emotional.

Okay, let's keep doing it.

Keep walking, Keep going.

So I was gonna ask you if you wanted to join me and, you know, try to do

something about gun violence.

I'm just trying to organize a little something, you know, Unless you, like,

love guns or something.

Yeah, no, it's kind of like that Louis Mal movie.

What do you know, the one about the guy who wants to join the French

Resistance, but they reject him, so he joins the Nazis instead, but it's

that the other way around.

I haven't seen that one.

I don't know if anyone wants to volunteer.

What about Emma? Me? Yeah, I mean, I feel like you'd be a good speaker.

Why? I don't know.

I mean, just makes sense.

I mean, you sound legit, and I just feel like you have the best face for it.

Okay. Yeah, Emma it is.

Okay. Let's make the world a better place, right? No more guys.

You didn't feel like a fraud? No.

It felt like finally waking up from a bad dream.

Just. I know.

I mean, I guess.

Okay. And you never had, like, those, like, issues again? Like what? What do

you mean? Like, violent urges? God, no.

No. Okay, but, like, when.

When do you.

Charlie, can we stop talking about this just until, like, after the wedding?

Because I just.

I don't.

I don't want to ruin everything, and I don't want you to look at me

differently, and I just.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

Rachel's not responding.

It's pretty late.

Yeah, well, she's not responding to my emails either.

Why are you emailing her? Cause I stupidly got Alice to hire her for this

work thing.

I'll just call Mike in the morning.

They probably both hate me.

They don't hate you.

It's going to be all right.

I promise.

Now, you know that it's just Rachel, she's just.

She's just overreacting like she always does.

You know,

Freud said something like, the feelings that we don't talk about get buried

alive only to come out in uglier ways.

Is that what you feel right now? No, I just think it's important to talk.

Yeah. And we did.

We did.

Yeah. And we're okay, right? Yeah.

It.

Sa.

Morning. How you sleep? Not great.

What. What are you doing? Just working on my speech.

Just going to have a shower.

Okay. Hey, K.

It.

Hey, Charlie.

Did you.

Jesus. Scared me.

I was making a smoothie.

Why are you looking at me like that? Like what? Like you're scared of me.

I was just, like.

It was a reflex.

Do you think I came over here to stab you? Possible.

No, of course not.

What was the question?

It's very funny.

Didn't you say you had a friend that died? What, like, when you were

younger, in a car accident or something? Uh, yeah, my neighbor.

Were you guys close? No, not really.

She was, like, a couple years older than me.

How old is she when that happened? She was, like, 12.

No shit.

Wow, that must have been a really crazy thing to witness, like, at that age.

I didn't actually witness it.

No, but still.

Look, you never had therapy or anything? I was 10.

Yeah, but, like, 10.

I mean, there's a very vulnerable age.

Charlie, please.

What? I just.

I know what you're trying to say, and I don't think it's relevant.

How do you know if it's relevant or not if you haven't analyzed it? Sure.

Right. So three o' clock then? What? For City hall? For the marriage

license. Oh, yeah.

Yes,

It's.

Oh, fuck.

Sorry. Sorry.

Jesus. Hey, have you talked to Rachel? No, I have not.

Oh, would you mind just nudging her? I just haven't heard from her.

Misha, what is this? Did you put this on my desk? No.

Do you know who it is? No, it didn't just come in the mail.

Are you okay? Yeah.

Sorry. What did you want? Just an update.

She's just, like, not responding, I think.

I think she's just, like, really busy.

Doesn't need to be right now.

Yeah, but she's, like, always busy, like, juggling a million things.

What does that mean? She's not gonna do it.

I mean, probably not, but this was your idea.

Yeah, but she kind of talked me into it.

You know, she's in marketing.

She's very good at that.

Yeah. Okay, so what should we do? I mean, honestly, I think we just, like,

move on with someone else.

Cause she's great.

Like, don't get me wrong, it's just she sucks at time management.

Okay. Sorry.

She's your friend.

Sam,

Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm just.

What? Nothing.

Okay. Do you.

Do you, like.

Do you need some help or just, like.

Okay,

Charlie, we don't.

We don't have to do this if you don't want to.

No, I do.

I do.

I do.

Just. Just give me a second, okay?

Okay. I feel like I.

I. You have to stop thinking about it.

Can't just say stop thinking.

So you are thinking you.

I'm not thinking about it for sakes.

I am thinking about it.

Now. Let's just start over.

When you're sitting on your own and you feel this.

Go ahead.

Do you live around here?

Just that you look familiar.

Yeah, I'm.

Yeah, I live near here.

Oh, cool.

I'm Emma, by the way.

What's your name? I don't think this is.

Sorry, what's your name?

Charlie. Charlie.

What's a sexy guy like you doing out all alone and my life.

Do you have an accent? Is that Australian? This isn't gonna work.

That's not gonna work.

Let's just not do this.

Do what? Just stop.

Stop. This is stupid.

Like, I'm not overthinking anything.

It's just been a stressful week.

I don't even care about it any.

You don't? No.

Well, then why'd you throw out the mug? What mug? Your mug with the fucking

gun on it.

I didn't.

Yes, you did.

Well, I don't know.

Maybe it was fucking broken or something.

Oh my God.

Why are you lying about it? Okay, I'm sorry.

I didn't realize the mug meant so much.

I'm sorry I threw it away.

It's obviously not about the fucking mug, Charlie.

Ow. Ow.

Fuck. Sorry.

What the fuck was that? I'm so sorry.

I was just trying to do your stupid junk thing.

Stop. You alright? Yes, I'm fine.

I'm just.

Fuck. It's Rachel.

Hey. Well, Rachel, you're the maid of honor.

And if you call in the middle of the night and say you're not coming to the

wedding, I mean, that's not an aggressive move to you? It was barely past

10. Still, she's devastated.

Well, did she tell you that she had Alice fire me off that project she like,

begged me to help her with? No, no.

Why would she do that? Because she's crazy.

Stop. Stop saying that.

Well, how can you even trust her? I mean, because unlike you, she didn't

actually do anything.

So. Me? What are you talking about? Yes, you long to a mentally disabled

child in a closet.

I never said he was mentally disabled.

Yes, you did.

You said he was slow.

You said he was slow.

Please, let's not fight, guys.

You're being incredibly hypocritical.

It was an impulse, Charlie.

I didn't plan a cold blooded murder.

Well, she didn't like.

She.

She didn't like, come up with it on her own.

I just.

What do you mean? It's like a whole thing in this country, isn't it? I mean,

think about it.

If there's a shooting practically every single day, then imagine how many

people must have thought about it.

Or, like, planned one, or even got close to it, but backed out or changed

their minds for whatever reason.

I'm sure there's thousands of people like that.

We just wouldn't know because they would never tell anyone.

They're just out there living normal lives.

Really. Could be anyone.

Oh, here we go.

So it's America's fault now? I don't know.

I think it's.

I do think it's a cultural thing.

Oh, please.

Look at Mike.

He grew up around guns and he's terrified of them.

Oh, I didn't grow up around guns.

I thought you said you had an uncle that owned, like, a bunch of guns.

Yeah, because he was a cop.

I'm not terrified of him.

Why would you even say that? What? See? You like guns.

Can I just be completely honest? I was shocked, of course, just as much as

you guys like.

I. But then we talked and she shared some stuff from her past that.

I don't know, it just really put it into perspective for me.

Like what?

Shout out to Sally, you're gonna fucking die first.

Just. Her.

Her friend died when she was young.

Who? Her neighbor, who she was extremely close to.

And she died in a car crash.

And basically Emma had to witness her best friend getting.

I mean, that's.

That's kind of a big deal.

Well, I'm sorry she had to go through that, obviously.

No, I really her up.

And no one ever offered her any therapy or counseling or anything.

And she just had to carry that for years.

And it's kind of interesting in a way.

What's interesting? Just that it's so unexpected.

And I don't know, I think it kind of makes her a little more interesting to

me, I guess.

Interesting? Really? I think what he said.

I wasn't talking to you.

Just that it's so not who she is now.

It's not interesting, Charlie.

It's awful.

Sorry. Sorry.

Rachel, they're asking if you can come approve that Oakley dick.

Well, just tell him it's fine.

No, but they said they need to hear it from you directly.

Yeah, of course.

I'm sorry.

I'll be right there.

We're gonna have to wrap this up.

I have a lunch.

I'm meeting Sam.

You're meeting her now? Yes.

I have to make sure that she's okay with all of this.

But she's okay with you coming to our wedding? Yeah, obviously.

I don't want to betray her.

Sorry. Yeah.

Rachel's cousin.

Yeah. I'm friends with Rachel and Mike.

Oh, cool.

And I.

That's a great jacket by the way.

Thank you.

It's. It's just Uniqlo.

So you guys are really close? I mean, she's family.

Yeah. So, I mean, how.

What does that mean exactly? That she's family? Yeah, I mean, it's just.

It's. She hadn't really mentioned you before, so I was, you know.

Did she tell you I was coming or.

Yeah, I was just with her, and.

I don't know.

Just. There's some drama and, you know, I reached out.

Is. Okay.

What was your name? Charlie.

Right. Great to meet you, Charlie.

Hey, I just.

I. I just think.

I think you would love Emma.

Okay. You know, I'm.

I'm actually kind of late, so.

Emma, true love is sacrificing yourself, humiliating yourself.

True love is egoless.

Being ready for anything complicated.

True love is acceptance.

True love is radical acceptance.

Emma, I know worse people than you.

Jesus. The.

Sam.

Misha. Mm.

What's, like, the worst thing you've ever done? What's the worst thing I've

ever done? Really?

Cheated? Yeah.

Like recently or.

No, like a few years ago.

What made it so bad? Were you in a serious relationship? You don't think

cheating's bad enough? No, it's, like, bad, but, like, what happened? Well,

I was dating this guy who was very nice, like, genuinely kind, and we lived

together for, like, two years, and I just could not bring myself to have sex

with him anymore because he was.

He was too nice, maybe.

Yeah. And then I started sleeping with his older, married friend who treated

me like shit, so.

And do you like that he treated you like shit? Not necessarily.

But we had better sex.

Yeah. And then everybody found out about it, and it was a whole fucking

mess. Yeah.

Well, what's the worst thing you've ever done? I don't.

I don't know.

I just.

I wouldn't even know how to pick because there's just too many.

Yeah.

All right, and what would.

What would you do if you found out that your boyfriend had, like, planned a

school shooting? Oh, like.

Like, if Blake did that.

Yeah, but he didn't actually do it.

He. He almost did it.

He had a weapon and everything, but he didn't.

This is in high school.

Well, I mean, that would scare me, obviously.

Yeah, but, like, would it change how you felt about him? Well, why didn't he

do it?

I don't know.

Like, he.

His. His car broke down and he just decided not to.

Okay, but otherwise he would have just gone through with it.

That's what you're saying.

I don't know.

The point is, he didn't so, okay, he didn't do it.

I don't know.

I guess I'd call the police.

What? Okay.

You call the police? Yeah, I think so.

Yeah, right.

He's obviously not the same person now, though.

I mean, but the fact that he ever was is.

Yeah, but you love him.

Yeah. Yeah, I love the person that I thought he was.

All right? What, so you're gonna call the police and have him arrested?

Like, for what? I don't know.

Isn't that what you're supposed to do if you think that someone's a threat?

He was 15.

Yeah, but come on, that's a huge red flag.

Even after you've dated him for two years? Three.

Three years.

Come on, you've seen Blake.

I mean, he would murder me in, like, two seconds.

Okay, even if he was completely open and honest with you, and he told you he

regretted everything.

Mm. And that he made you believe beyond a doubt that he's changed.

I mean, isn't that exactly what a psychopath would do

it?

Hey. Where were you? I texted you.

I was doing a work thing.

She seems fine.

Yeah. Do you want me to talk to him? No, no, no.

Let's just do it together.

Okay.

What the fuck was that? Oh, no, it's nothing.

Just. You okay? Yeah, I'm just, like, stressed about the wedding and stuff.

Like, I'm sorry.

So it's all good? Yeah, it's all set up.

I just need to replace some cables.

Um, what's that track you're playing in there? Oh, it's one of mine,

actually. Really? Yeah.

Forever ago.

That's so cool.

Do you still make music? No, not really.

Oh. Why? Why not? Just.

Life had different plans, I guess.

Are you okay? Sorry, what's going on? Just.

You're really.

You're talented.

She's talented.

Anyway, yeah, there was just something we wanted to talk to you about.

Okay. So we saw you the other day on the street.

It's gonna be fine.

Sorry. Oh, sorry.

Take a deep breath.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Well, Heroin? You were smoking heroin.

No, I don't do that.

You can be honest.

We're not gonna tell anyone.

Yeah, but I didn't fucking do it.

Jesus fucking Christ.

I don't know why I did that.

It's okay.

Can you not tell anyone about this? Admit it and we can move on.

You're not in trouble.

I think we've made up.

No, no, we saw you.

You were on Arlington by the park, right? Oh, maybe Maybe not.

What? I mean, it was like dog.

Why are you questioning it now? It's like, can I be honest? Yes, please.

That's literally all we want from you.

You're being a fucking cunt.

Excuse me? Yeah.

Wow. Okay, you're fired.

Please take your things and fucking leave.

Are you serious? Yes, I'm very serious.

Please, I'm all set up.

Take your shit.

That's. Waste of my time.

Thank you.

You're a.

And you're a.

Can't believe you just ripped my shirt,

Sam.

All right, let's bring in mom and dad.

Yes. Everyone scooch in.

Get close.

Just breathe, smile.

It's a beautiful day.

Charlie, stay with me here.

Yes. Beautiful happiness.

Just relax and real natural smiles back to me.

Charlie and Emma with those big, beautiful smiles.

Nice. Hello.

Hi. Just wanted to welcome everyone and thank you all for being here on this

special day.

And I think we should start off with a toast to the bride and groom, Tamma

and Charlie.

Be right back.

Hey. Ah, hey.

You the groom? No, I'm Mikey's.

Hey, Charlie.

Hey. Fuck her, man.

The other dj.

Oh, it's unbelievable.

What's the most important part of being a dj? What do you think? Cause it's

not the music showing up.

Can't DJ if you don't show up.

Right. Did she have Covid.

Did she mention anything? She didn't actually mention? Cause that's, you

know, that's legit.

Death in the family.

That's also legit.

Hey, congrats, man.

Blake, Misha's boyfriend.

Yes. Yes, of course.

Yes. Thanks for coming.

Yeah, well, I tried to say hi earlier, but just.

Busy day.

Yeah. Well, enjoy, man.

Cool. Thank.

Yeah, thank you.

I don't know if she already told you, but I've actually worked with one of

your servers before.

Oh, isn't that so funny? I actually think that's a really good omen.

So where do I set up? Mike, can you do the thing? Yeah, cool.

You a gear head? A dj Gear? Yeah.

I asked because I brought with me today an ev e sense 8 with a seni kit.

And I have a blue Eddie down below for power.

It's. It's funny if you know about gear.

It's a rather unusual setup.

Okay,

Everybody, it is now time to hear a few words from the father of the bride.

Oh, boy.

Ah, Emma, my girl.

You look absolutely stunning today.

Time has flown by way too fast, hasn't it? Feels like you moved out three

days ago, and here you are getting married.

You have always been a creative and passionate girl, and I Don't know if you

remember this, but when you were young, you had all these characters you

would come up with.

And you used to have these little shows for your mom and me, using the

living room as a stage.

I think my favorite was the Blind Farmer.

She would stumble around bumping into all this furniture, yelling, has

anyone seen a brown cow? But in middle school, you had a brief affair with

theater, and you were really into drama.

But no more blind farmers.

It had to be serious, preferably life or death.

But as a teenager, you became an activist.

You developed a strong passion for gun control, which you got so serious

about, I had to pick you up from the police one time for egging Walmart

employees for selling weapons.

It was obvious it came from your big heart.

But I have to admit, I think part of it was about you rebelling against your

dad, too.

You know, the dad who works in the military and happens to own a rifle.

The same rifle which mysteriously disappeared right around that time.

Do you remember that? Wasn't that a wild coincidence? Sorry, sorry, sorry,

everyone. These are not the cables I asked for.

That was not planned, by the way.

Hi.

You know, I kind of lost my train of thoughts.

Emma, Charlie, May your love grow deeper every day.

Cheers.

You've always just, like, kept weapons around the house? What? No, I was.

No, it was a great speech.

It was beautiful right here.

Really good.

Maybe drink some water and take this up.

No, my turn.

I want to do my speech.

No, I know.

I understand.

I want to do it.

All right? We're at a wedding, okay? Just get it together.

God damn it.

Hi, everybody.

Again? Yeah.

So now it is time for to hear some words from the maid of honor, Rachel.

Hello. It's so nice to see everyone here today.

So I met Charlie through my husband, Mike.

And a few years later, we all got to know Emma.

So when Emma asked me to be her maid of honor, I was a bit surprised.

I remember thinking, don't you have real friends? Kidding.

Kidding. But seriously, getting to know Emma, I have come to see how layered

and complex she is.

Full of surprises like you wouldn't believe.

Charlie, too.

Which is why I think they will find happiness in this marriage.

Because, Emma, you have found a very open minded partner in Charlie.

A real cheerleader, am I right?

Oh, Mike's giving me that look.

We're on a tight schedule.

I see.

But yeah, I think you guys are great for each other.

I wish you all the best.

To the happy, carefree couple.

About a school shooter.

He was like asking for a friend, you know what I mean? Like she maybe

thought about doing a school shooting.

Hi. Oh, hi, Emma.

Sorry, did I scare you? Bride? You look beautiful.

Were you just talking to someone just now? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who? Susan.

Susan. Oh.

What were you talking about? Nothing, nothing, nothing.

Just thought I, like, overheard something.

Well, do you mind if I just.

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, It.

Can you close the door, please? What's going on? Rachel was fucking talking.

What makes you think that? Because I overheard Misha and she said something.

I will.

What did she say? I don't know, but she definitely said school shooting and

don't tell anyone.

And what, you think Rachel told her? I don't know, Charlie.

I don't fucking know if she knows.

If Misha knows, then who the hell fucking knows? What? My parents.

Oh, my God.

Your parents? Oh, my God.

This cannot be fucking.

This cannot be fucking happening.

What? It doesn't fucking matter.

It doesn't matter.

It's gonna be okay.

Okay? It's gonna be fine.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah. You promised.

You didn't say anything.

Yeah, like, she was probably talking about the.

Like, there was another one, like, a week ago.

She's probably talking about that.

Okay. Yeah.

Will you go get her? Get who? Misha, so I can talk to her.

I don't know.

I just don't think we should make a big deal about it.

It's like.

No, no.

I need to figure out who told her.

Please. Okay, I'll go get her.

Emma. Emma.

Her name, Giovanni.

Can I just say, Kikust means and we stopped immediately and it truly meant

nothing. Wait, what is she talking about? What are you talking about? I

don't know.

Like, he wasn't himself.

He was sort of disturbed and he was crying, and I was just.

Why was he crying? I don't know.

He asked me what I would do if I.

I just hit a wall.

I was very emotional.

Shut the fuck up.

What were you saying? He asked me what I would do if Blake did a school

shoot. I said planned.

I said planned.

Okay, yeah, he said planned.

And then he got really upset and.

And he started crying, and I was just trying to make him feel better, and he

very clearly misread the signals.

I. It didn't mean any.

It was just an accident.

It was an accident.

I didn't.

Fuck. Oh, okay.

I think it was nothing.

I'm confused.

Is this shooting thing real?

Dear guests, it is now time to hear a few words from the bride to the groom.

Sorry, actually, the groom is going to speak first.

Pardon?

Okay,

Emma, I had a speech, but

I've forgotten everything.

What? I was going to say was, when I first met Emma, it was kind of like out

of a movie, you know, like the meet cute at the coffee shop.

And

she was reading this book.

What was the title again? It doesn't matter.

But, yeah, I hadn't read the book, but I pretended to so I could talk to

her, and she couldn't hear anything because of the ear.

And I thought it was really sexy and sweet in this weird kind of way.

And then she had this laugh, which is really specific.

And I wanted to say something about how it's repulsive, but in a funny way.

Like, it's very.

It's very cute, and it's the best laugh.

And I fell in love with her just on the spot right then, and it's been

growing ever since.

And my best friend, and we have, like, this amazing, amazing sex.

And, like, I mean, so I'm fucking sore up.

I didn't even.

Just forget about the fucking speech.

I don't want to embarrass you.

I'm. I can't.

I don't deserve you.

And I can't believe the level of stupidity that I've subjected you to.

Can you just please, like this.

Can you just stop gossiping, all right? It's just a wedding.

She didn't do anything, okay? She didn't do anything.

Em. Emma, you're the love of my life.

I don't.

I can't understand why I would have done anything to hurt you, especially

not with fucking Misha.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Like, deserve nothing? Did you.

Him? No, I didn't.

I don't even care.

No, he tried to.

I don't even care.

I wouldn't even care.

Even if.

Even if you had killed someone, I wouldn't even care.

It wouldn't change anything about the way I feel about you.

I love you more than anything in the world.

Jesus Christ.

You shut the upper.

Oh, hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Emma.

Hello? No, she's not.

She's not here either.

I think she's with her parents.

Her dad texted me, but no, no one's answering their phone.

Hey, Emma, I know you don't want to talk to me, but can you just let me know

if you're okay? I mean, yeah, just text me.

I love you.

Did you sexually harass Misha? What? Yes or no?

I didn't harass her.

God damn it.

Why? Can you use your words? Jesus.

Now have another.

Easy.

Where is she? Where's emma?

It.

When you're sitting on your own and you feel this little surround you, and

it's always on the phone.

And just don't make it.

You can.

Me.

You okay? Huh? Yeah.

What can I get for you? A cheeseburger and a diet coke.

Hey.

Fingers in a dream.

Hi. Hey.

Can I sit?

Yeah, of course.

Pretty sorry about that.

Do you live around here? What?

I come here sometimes, too, and I feel like I've seen you here before.

I'm Emma, by the way.

What's your name?

I'm Charlie.

I live two blocks from you.

What happened to your face? I just got into this fight.

There's a woman.

Woman Being robbed and tried to save her.

Just now?

Yeah. This guy stole her baby from a stroller, actually.

And.

He said he was going to eat it.

Oh. So I had to stop him.

Cheers. Walking her baby in the middle of the night.

Yeah. I kind of thought that was a bit strange as well.

That was very brave of you.

Thanks.

It's nice to meet you, Charlie.

It's nice to meet you.
