[phone ringing]

- Hey, honey.

I'm so excited to see you, but I'm having some vehicle issues,

and I'm not at the house yet.

Flat tire.

No, I know, I know.

It's-- listen, I'll make it up to you.

I have my ways.

If you get to the house before me, the code to the front door

is 2215.

Yeah, 2215.

All right. I'll see you soon.

[rustling]

[water running]

And you shave for them.

Okay.

[sighs]

This is going to be the best weekend of your life.

[car approaching]

[laughs]

- Unreal.

I thought you were going to be late.

- I lied.

- Mm-hmm.

It's not my birthday.

- I know, but they only had birthday cakes.

- Why'd you even get a cake?

- Because we're celebrating.

- Oh.

Well.

Mm-hmm.

- Really? That's good?

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, try it.

- This can't be good.

[music fades]

- I hope that wasn't ice cream cake.

[both laughing]

Oh man, this house is so amazing.

You didn't have to do all this.

- I know, but I wanted to.

- Ever the showman.

- I told you I had a few surprises planned.

- Paul.

- Happy birthday.

- It's not my birthday.

[laughs]

Holy shit.

No way.

- I know, right?

- Ah, where did you find this?

- I was cleaning out the closet,

and I found it tucked away in the back in a shoebox

along with every letter you ever wrote me.

- Oh, that's so sweet.

[giggles]

- My hoarder self was thanking me when I saw it.

- God.

I want to listen to this.

- I know, me too.

- There's no tracks listed.

- Well, you know there's The Cure on there.

- Dismiss.

- Van Halen.

- How do we listen to this?

- Well, we could build a time machine, take it back to 1989,

and use the tape deck in your Nova.

- What do you think the first track is?

- Definitely "The Boss."

[splashes]

[both laughing]

- That is one of my favorites.

- I know.

- It's not the first one, though.

You don't lead with that song.

You finish with that song.

- Definitely.

What do you want to do tonight?

- I don't know.

Maybe just stay in and look at the stars.

- That's a great answer.

Let the record show the lady has opted to stay in.

- [laughs]

[sighs]

God, this is so nice.

The ocean air and stars.

- One thing I think we should do

is have sex in every room in this house.

- How many rooms are there?

- 10, I think.

- Dream on, loverboy.

- I know it's ambitious, but we should

at least challenge ourselves.

Let's never forget this moment.

- How could I?

[both laugh]

- So bad.

- It's bad.

- What if he's, like, Scottish?

- Yeah, yeah.

- Right, like, (SCOTTISH ACCENT) Are you talking to me?

Are you talking to me?

- I love it.

- Are you talking to me?

- Okay, give me, um, give me Spanish.

Okay, wait.

Okay, give me Chinese.

[speaking chinese]

- Do it again.

- [laughs]

- No question mark.

[speaking chinese]

- That's amazing.

- That's how-- will you--

will you do something for me?

- What?

- Will you speak French?

- [speaking french]

- That's real.

That's cute. Yeah, yeah.

- [speaking french]

- You said poof. - No.

[speaking french]

- I'm glad we're here.

- Me too.

I really needed this.

What time is it?

- Judging by the placement of the moon, I don't know.

- I think I'm going to go call.

- Okay, me too.

You want to stay here and I'll--

I'll go in the house?

- Sure. Okay.

[phone ringing]

Hi, baby.

I'm good.

Oh, Mommy can't FaceTime right now.

Yeah, I miss you too.

Is Daddy there?

Can you get him for me?

Okay, my sweet.

I love you so much.

Hi.

How's it going?

- I got here about 6:00.

What do you mean? I did say 6:00.

No.

When was the last time you had dinner on a flight?

I just had some pretzels and peanuts.

You know, normal, plain stuff.

I just have a few meetings with Lee tomorrow,

and then, I don't know, that's it.

I actually don't know anyone that's here for the conference.

It's mostly sales.

I don't know.

I think they're doing food for us at the hotel or something.

You're really concerned with what I'm eating.

Yes, I'm eating.

Jesus.

- Aw, that sounds cute.

I'm sorry I missed it.

Will you send me a pic?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Um, mostly just meetings.

Yeah.

Jake wants us to go visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I mean, I don't want to go.

I don't know what he's thinking.

I'm just going to stay in, order room service,

read books, just chill.

Yeah, okay.

Sounds good.

We'll talk soon.

Bye.

[pensive music]

- Of course it's my fault. Yeah, no, it is.

It's 100% my fault. I'll say that on Wednesday.

How about that?

On Wednesday, not Monday.

Can't do it on Monday.

I'm not going to be back Monday, so

make it on Wednesday.

I told you that on Thursday.

No, if I was being pedantic,

I'd tell you the days of the week.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri--

I don't know.

You bring out the best in me, hon.

I'm not being condescending.

I'm just saying if this is a scheduling conversation,

I don't have time for this shit.

We're paying the guy.

I'm paying the guy.

Just make it later in the week.

[stammering] Write him an email.

Okay, I'll write him an email.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll write him the email. I'll CC you on it.

[brushing teeth]

[Paul sighs]

- Good night.

- Night.

[trance music]

[sighs]

Good morning.

- Hi, babe.

- I made you some coffee.

- Oh, you're the best.

- Did you sleep good?

- Yeah.

I had some trippy dreams, though.

I was singing nursery rhymes with Bruce Springsteen,

and there was a classroom full of tigers.

- Wow. That's a lot to unpack.

- Mmm.

This is so good.

- It's so good, right?

I took some oat milk and I boil it first,

and then I use this, like, frother.

And I put it in and I stir the whole thing so it, like, gets

the oxygen--

- Is that bacon?

- Yes, there's bacon too.

[both laugh]

[electronic music]

[phone ringing]

- No, no, no, no. - Oh, shit.

I have to. I have to. I have to.

- Come on, come on.

[phone ringing]

- Hello?

Hi.

Hi, no, no, I was just on my way to the lobby.

- [whispering] Please don't go.

- [mouthing]

Oh, what?

She's not feeling well?

Oh. Okay.

Well, just put her on the phone.

I'll try to cheer her up.

[upbeat music]

- Okay, I got some whiskey and the vodka I bought.

There's also some beers in the fridge too.

- Anything to mix with?

- Some grapefruit seltzer stuff.

- Oh, yeah, I'll do that with vodka.

- Going hard first thing.

That's my girl.

- That's right.

Put some lotion on my back?

- Gladly.

[upbeat music]

- Uh, there's a naked man in our backyard.

- What the fuck?

- Whoever gets to play with that on a regular basis

is a very lucky.

[splashes]

- What should we do?

- We should talk to him. - Are you crazy?

Why?

- There's a man in our pool.

- [scoffs] I don't want to deal with anyone.

I just want it to be us.

- Well, I don't know if you've noticed,

but there's a third party here now that we're going to have

to speak to at some point.

- Let's just go somewhere.

We'll go to the beach, have some lunch, antiquing.

- Paul, don't be ridiculous, okay?

There is a man in our pool.

Let's just go talk to him and see what's going on.

If he seems like a weirdo, we'll ask him to leave.

- Okay, fine.

I'll go talk to him.

You stay here.

Stay.

- Hi. - Oh my God.

You scared me to death.

- What's up, man? We're staying here.

They double book the place?

- No, no.

I live next door.

Our pool has been broken for about

a month or so, so we've been coming

over to use Sam and Tommy's.

I'm Greg, by the way.

- I'm Leah.

This is my--

- Husband.

- Husband, Paul.

- Sorry for being so naked in your pool.

I promise I'm not peeing.

- It's fine.

- Yeah, so I'm just going to get out of your hair.

- Appreciate it. Thank you.

- No, no. Dude, you know what?

Greg, you stay.

You stay. Enjoy your swim.

You already brought your own floatie.

We were headed out anyway.

So it's--

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, totally.

All right.

Later, brother.

- See you.

- Why didn't you let me ask him to leave?

- Because I told you I'd handle it.

That was so weird.

- Are you mad?

- I'm not mad mad.

I just didn't like the situation.

I didn't think I'd see a giant horse cock.

- Wow.

I just wanted to see what was going on.

I'm sorry.

- It's fine.

I just-- you know, I just want it to be you and I this weekend.

That's all I care about.

- What?

A beautiful, naked stranger ruining our pool date

wasn't your idea of perfection?

I was kind of into it.

- I'm sure you were.

- As long as you're not mad.

- I'm not mad.

What about this guy?

- Mm, maybe a banker?

- A banker?

- Yeah.

I mean, I kind of think any guy with a handlebar mustache

looks like Mr. Monopoly.

- That guy does not look like Mr. Monopoly.

- What do you mean?

He totally does.

Just imagine him with a top hat.

Mr. Monopoly.

- Okay, maybe if he had a top hat on, I could see it,

but you are way off here.

- No, that dude is Mr. Monopoly.

- No.

- [laughs]

Okay.

What do you think their story is?

[both laughing]

- Come here.

There you go.

- They're just straight up in love.

It could be us one day.

- Excuse me.

- I guess it's true they go in pairs.

[both laugh]

- That's right.

You guys look like a great couple.

What's the secret?

- Lots of booze.

- I'm on the right track, then. Good to know.

- Lisa's actually my third wife.

- Wow, that's a lot of wives.

- Maybe.

- But you found the right one.

- I don't know.

I guess we're always chasing the first love, huh?

- Yeah, I know the feeling.

- How did you two meet?

- High school sweetheart.

- Oh, good for you.

- It's not what it looks like, though.

- Well, how so?

- Well, I'm married, and so is she.

We've been having this affair for years now.

We meet in different cities, tell our spouses

we're going on business trips or something,

and then spend a few magic days together.

It's crazy, but when I'm with my wife,

the only thing I can think about

is the next time I'm going to see Leah.

But this weekend, this is the last weekend.

This is the last weekend I'm ever gonna see her.

Kind of promised each other this would be the last time.

Got any advice?

- Yeah.

Don't let her get away.

- I mean, this place definitely is not going

to have any tape players.

- No, but they got everything else.

- Mm-hmm.

- You know, maybe the universe doesn't

want us to hear the tape.

- The universe always needs more Depeche Mode.

- Oh, that's definitely on there.

- Not side one, though.

- No, no, Depeche Mode is more of a middle side two band.

You were so goth in high school.

- [laughs]

Oh my God.

Wow.

I can't believe that's a Bella Reid.

I've always wanted one of these.

- It's a bit haunting, don't you think?

- Why?

- He's all alone.

It's sad.

- No.

No, he's not alone.

He's strong.

He's confident.

He knows the direction he's going into.

- Let's get it.

- Yeah, sure.

Let's get it.

- I'm serious.

I want to buy it for you.

- Paul, you can't buy this for me.

- Of course I can.

- Paul, what are you talking about?

I can't show up after a business

weekend trip with a Bella Reid under my arm.

- No, I-I want to get it for you.

- Paul, you're being crazy.

Are you being serious?

- It's your birthday.

You deserve something nice.

- You scared me.

- I got you. - You did.

- Yeah, I'm not buying that.

[acoustic music]

Welcome home.

- Oh, oh, I wish.

- [speaking spanish]

- [speaking spanish]

- Nice.

- All right.

Are you going to at least tell me where we're going to dinner?

- No, let it be a surprise.

I have lots of surprises.

Can't it just be a surprise?

Are you tired?

- Oh my God, I'm beat.

[sighs]

- How about some of this?

- Oh, no, no.

No, no no, not the feet.

I have a thing about my feet.

- Yo, I'm fine with that.

I, I hate feet.

I mean, feet are weird.

Who wants feet when you got all that?

How about some shoulder action?

- Yes.

Ah.

[groans]

Oh, that's so good.

So is that.

Are you trying to seduce me, Mr. Robinson?

[phone ringing]

- Do you want me to seduce you?

- Yes, please.

[phone ringing]

- God, it's like he knows or something.

- Don't even joke about that.

- Please don't get it.

- Paul, I have to.

Hello?

Hi.

No, no, I'm just going to dinner.

How's Lily doing?

[door opens, closes]

[gentle music]

The stomach flu?

[taps]

Well, I'm glad it's not serious.

[Leah talking indistinctly]

[knocks]

Is she still up?

Can I speak to her?

[knocks]

Hi, baby.

Yeah, I know.

The medicine will make you feel better, I promise.

Yeah.

It's not fun to throw up.

Aw, I wish I was there too, honey, but I'll be home soon.

Yeah.

I'll read you the whole book as soon as I get back.

Okay, Mommy has to go.

I love you so much.

Okay. Bye, baby.

[sighs]

Paul?

Sorry about that.

Paul?

Hey.

Is everything all right?

- Yeah. It just seemed like something was wrong.

You can tell me if there is.

- No, Lily's just sick.

- Oh. Is she okay?

- Yeah.

She was just asking when I'd be home,

and I felt really bad not being there.

- David's there, though.

- But I'm not there.

- But he can handle it, right?

- It's fine.

I'm just going to go take a bath and get ready for dinner.

[gentle music]

- [Paul] Hey, I'm going to run real quick to the liquor store.

Are you okay? You need anything?

- No, I'm good, thanks.

- All right.

We should leave in about an hour to make our reservation.

- Okay, I'll be ready.

- All right, back in a few.

[piano music]

- [sighs]

[upbeat music]

- Okay.

Anything else, dude?

- No, all set.

- All right, you got it.

It's $22.75.

- Actually, hold up.

How much for that boombox?

- Oh, yeah, that's not for sale, bro.

- What if I told you my life depended on it?

- How's an old school rig like that going to save your life?

- What's your name, bro?

- Randy, my friends call me Piggy.

- Piggy, have you ever been in love?

Like, really in love.

- Hells yeah.

Cody Lacy, eighth grade.

She smelled like banana.

- Right. Okay, well, I'm spending the weekend

right now with my Cody Lacy.

And if I could play our tape, our mixtape, on that boombox,

I think I can get her to fall back in love with me.

Come on, bro, help me out.

I'm back.

You almost done, babe?

We kind of got to get going.

This is a very fancy restaurant, you know.

- Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just can you give me a few more minutes?

[pensive music]

Paul.

I'm ready.

- Jesus Christ.

You look incredible.

I'm sorry.

- For what?

- I don't know.

I just felt like saying it.

- You shouldn't apologize.

I'm sorry for making us late.

- Actually, you're right on time.

- Good evening, Leah.

I'm Chef Marino, and I have prepared a delicious

menu for you tonight.

So if you'll have a seat, I will start your meal.

- Wow.

- It's pretty good.

- Paul, this is too much.

It's crazy.

- You make me a little crazy.

What if it was always like this?

- Mm.

Yeah, I like the sound of that.

- Yeah, like this is just our Malibu pad.

- Oh, yeah. Of course.

And then we have our house in Palm Springs

and our ranch in Montana.

- Don't forget about the brownstone in New York.

- Oh, of course, darling.

Yes, the brownstone in New York.

Oh, we've got to get there.

- We could go tomorrow.

- Oh, sure, baby, let's go.

- Yeah, I'll just get the jet fired up.

- [laughs]

- Wait right here.

I have one more surprise.

- No. No more surprises.

- This is the best one yet.

- [sighs]

[gasps]

No way.

- Yup.

- I mean.

[boombox clicks]

[DEBBIE GIBSON, "ONLY IN MY DREAMS"]

- I never would have guessed this one.

- Oh, yes.

I love this song.

Baby, let's go dancing.

- We are dancing.

- No, no, no.

Like let's go dancing.

[upbeat music]

- May I?

- Oh.

- Want anything to drink, babe?

- Sure. Whatever you're having.

- Anything for you, bud?

- Hey, babe, what do you need?

- Two up, two back.

- Sir?

It's $28.

[upbeat music]

- Woo!

[laughs]

[applause]

- [band member] Thank you very much, y'all.

Grab you something to drink.

- Thanks, babe.

- Get all that dancing out of your system?

- Well, it depends on my partner here.

- Ah, Joel. - Joel.

- Joel, this is Paul.

Babe, Joel lives in Topanga Canyon.

He's got tons of horses.

- You know, you're lucky.

I don't usually let people just come up

and grab my girl like that when I'm dancing with her.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Lucky me, then.

- Maybe.

I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to punch

you in the fucking face.

- Okay, thank you so much for the dance.

We're going to get going now.

- You sure?

Usually it just starts to be fun around here now.

- What don't you understand about she said she's leaving?

- What's your problem, man?

- You're my problem.

She said she is leaving, and you're still

yapping your fucking lips.

- Paul.

- Best dance partner I ever had.

- Fuck this.

- We had a lot to drink tonight.

I am really sorry.

- You better go after your boy.

- I'm sorry.

I still don't understand why you did that.

- Well, I was trying to protect you.

- Protect me from what?

Some guy who loves dancing?

You were not trying to protect me.

You were thinking of your own fucking ego.

- That guy was trying to treat you like some kind

of property or something.

That was okay?

You just didn't want me to do anything?

- What is wrong with you?

Why are you even acting this way?

- I'm not acting like anything.

Apparently, I have to explain myself to you,

because if you can't see what I was doing, then

you don't fucking get it at all.

Any of this.

- Starting a fistfight with some random guy

in a bar like a teenager?

Yeah, you're right, I don't get it.

- You know, I just wanted this to be

the perfect fucking weekend.

- I don't like this side of you at all.

It really scares me.

- I don't even know why we decided to do this.

- Oh, come on, don't do that.

- Seriously. Wh-wh- why did we decide this?

I'm leaving Carrie.

- What?

- Carrie and I are getting a divorce,

and I want you to leave David.

- Paul.

- I know we decided that this would

be the last time and everything, but I don't care.

I don't want this to be the last time,

because we're great together.

- What are you even saying right now?

- I'm moving to Chicago.

- What?

- I'm buying a house on the lake,

and I'm going there when we leave here.

I want you to come live with me.

You'll still be close to your daughter in St. Charles.

It's like 40 minutes away.

- What the fuck is wrong with you?

Do you even know what you're saying right now?

- Yes, I'm telling you that I love you, Leah.

I'm telling you that I want to commit to our future.

- You need to stop.

You need to stop saying that.

- Do you know what it feels like when I'm at home?

When I'm with Carrie in my own house, or when I'm with you

and she calls?

Do you know it feels like I'm cheating on you?

- Damn it, Paul, please stop.

- What else do I have to do to show

you that I fucking love you?

I don't-- I don't want this to be the end.

- Paul, you know it's complicated.

I have a little girl.

I have my family.

[glass shatters]

- And you've been fucking me for years

behind everyone's back.

That's how you treat your family?

- Fuck you.

And this is not my fault.

- Okay.

Leah, will you come back up here and talk to me, please?

- Damn it. Where are my keys?

- What are you doing?

- I am leaving.

- What?

- I cannot even look at you right now.

- Leah.

Leah!

Where are you gonna go?

[car beeps]

Where are you going?

Leah, come back inside, please.

[engine cranks]

Where are you gonna go?

You're gonna go back to David?

Then go back to David.

Leah!

[suspenseful music]

- [gasping]

[suspenseful music]

- [groans]

[panting]

What are you doing?

Why would you do what you do?

- All right, I've got you on the third floor all the way

at the end of the hall, so everything should

be nice and quiet for you.

- Okay.

- For tonight, we're looking at $476.45.

We just need a credit card for the incidentals.

- That's just for one night?

- Malibu.

- All right.

Okay.

Ah, there you go.

Um, you know what?

I think that this card has expired, actually.

Yeah.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you take cash?

- Absolutely, but we still need a card on file.

- Okay.

You know what?

I think I'm good.

I don't really need a room after all, but thanks.

Thanks.

- We have an ATM down the hall if you need it.

[dog barking]

- Fuck!

What the fuck are you looking at?

What are you staring at, fucker?

Coming with me.

I gotta talk to you.

[somber music]

[phone ringing]

[somber music]

[coughs]

[somber music]

Leah?

Leah.

[retches]

[somber music]

- [sniffles]

[sniffles]

[panting]

[sniffles]

- [Paul on voicemail] Leah, hey .

I just need to know you're okay. Please come back to the--

[phone beeps]

- [panting]

Fuck!

[cries]

This is Leah.

Please leave me your name and number

and I'll get back to you, or you can send me a text.

Bye.

[somber music]

- [sighs]

- Can you at least call me back, please?

I'm worried about you.

Just call me back.

I-- I know I fucked up.

I know I did.

So, just know that I know that I fucked up.

I was an asshole, and I shouldn't

have put my stuff on you.

[somber music]

- It's a lovely painting, isn't it?

- Yeah.

I love it so much.

- The previous owners were married for 50 years.

- Wow. - Yeah.

He was a Marine in the Second World War,

and he was injured in battle.

And his nurse who was assigned to him,

they looked at each other.

It was love at first sight.

They lost track of each other after the war,

and he searched for her for 10 years.

And in that time, he became a doctor.

And guess what?

- What?

- She was in New York City.

She stepped off the curb and was hit by a taxi.

And they took her to the hospital

where he was the doctor.

I know.

And he saved her life.

- Oh my God, that's incredible.

- They were meant to be.

[splashing]

- [panting]

- Oh, no.

- We tried waiting it out, but it is just too fucking hot.

- I'm shvitzing.

- So we came over.

Did we catch you at a bad time?

- No.

- Where is your lovely wife?

- She's actually out running errands.

I just decided to stay here and do some laps and stuff.

- Well, maybe we can join you.

I promise to keep my suit on.

- No, no. It's cool.

I gotta go, uh, do some stuff.

And, you know, you guys should stay here, though.

It's so hot.

Just seriously, enjoy the pool.

- Look, we've already interrupted you twice.

Let us buy you dinner.

How's 7:30?

- I know the greatest place in town.

It is, like, write a letter to your mama good.

- Okay, listen, when Leah gets back, I'll talk to her.

And if she's cool with it, that'll be fun.

- Great. It's a double date. [phone ringing]

- I gotta get this, guys.

[phone ringing]

Where are you?

Yeah.

Of course.

[somber music]

- Hi. - Hi.

Jeremy and Greg from next door made dinner reservations

for tonight.

We don't have to go if you don't want to.

- Really?

- They're actually really sweet and hilarious.

- Yeah, I think we should go.

It could be fun, and we need some fun, and I need a shower.

So what time do we need to be ready?

- 7:00. - Okay.

[upbeat music]

- You look incredible.

Is that new?

- Retail therapy.

- Well, it looks great on you.

Actually, you made that dress look great.

This is the one you wore the night we got back together.

- Yeah.

You didn't say anything last night.

I didn't know if you remembered.

You know, David gave me that dress on my 35th birthday.

I don't know if I ever told you that.

I wore it that night because I wanted to impress you.

I knew I looked good in it, and you wouldn't

be able to say no to me.

I remember we ate dinner at that weird Roman restaurant,

and then we went across the street

to that cute little hotel, and we made love for hours.

And I remember afterwards, I was laying on my side

and you were behind me.

Your body was so warm.

Everything was perfect.

And all I could think about was that dress

bunched up on the floor, and I knew

it was going to get wrinkled.

And if I put it on and I went home like that,

David would know something would happen.

But when I got home, he didn't notice a thing.

Just asked me how dinner was.

I told them it was a dinner for work.

I lied to him, and it wasn't hard.

The worst part was that I knew I

would do it again, because I wouldn't

be able to say no to you.

And later, we went upstairs and he tried to take off my dress,

but I didn't let him.

I told him I was too tired.

I think I brought that dress with me

this weekend as a monument to us, to all this.

But I just feel so sad about everything,

and I just don't want to feel this way anymore.

- Just know that I love you more than anything.

- I know you do.

I love you too.

- So you guys have been asking us questions all night long.

Like, what about you guys?

- Yeah, how'd you guys meet?

- We actually went to high school together.

- Oh, high school sweethearts.

- That's right.

I was a total nerd, and she was the popular girl.

- Really?

I always thought I was pretty regular.

- What are you talking about?

You were totally popular and completely out of my league.

- Still is.

[laughs]

- No way.

Okay, he was the sexy senior, and I was the little freshman.

But I knew that I liked him right away.

It was kind of a secret crush.

And we used to meet after school,

and he'd help me with my homework,

because he was super smart.

Except I don't remember doing that much studying.

I feel like we mostly just laughed and talked like crazy.

- I think I got you a C in that class.

- Yeah.

And one day, he came over and he kissed me in my bedroom,

and that was it.

I was done.

- But her parents were super strict,

and she wasn't allowed to date, so we

had to keep our relationship secret for a long time.

- Mm-hmm. - Ooh, a secret relationship.

Shh.

Tell me more.

Uh, guys.

- We're waiting. Come on.

- Mm, um...

then we went to UC Davis, and we lived

together from then and there.

- Then we got married.

- Aw, was it like a big wedding or like a small little thing

at the courthouse?

- It was huge.

We had, like, what, 250 guests, hon?

- I think it was more like 400.

- Wait, 400 people?

- Wow, wow.

Like in a church or like on the beach?

- Actually, it was at our friend's

beach house in Portugal.

- Ah.

- Overlooking the ocean at sunset.

It was absolutely breathtaking.

She looked so gorgeous.

I've never seen anything as beautiful

as her in my entire life.

I always knew she was the one.

- Me too.

I wouldn't change a thing.

- Here's to true love.

- [all] True love. [laughs]

- I have to ask, why did we go to UC Davis

in your fantasy life for us?

- I don't know.

It was like the first thing that popped into my head.

- But neither of us even went there.

- Yeah, but I applied there, remember?

It was between Arizona State and UC Davis.

- That's right. I forgot about that.

I wonder what would have happened

if you didn't go to Arizona.

Think we would have gotten married?

- [laughs] I don't know. Maybe.

Do you think we would have had such a huge wedding?

- No.

Would have been small.

Probably would have eloped in Vegas.

- [laughs]

Do you ever think about if we never met?

- It sounds stupid, but I feel like we would have met somehow.

Even if we didn't have high school together,

even if you lived in Portugal or Peru,

we would have found each other no matter what.

It's not because of you, the divorce.

I know I wasn't being fair when I said all

those things I said to you.

I just felt like I had to do something.

I, couldn't let you go so easy.

- Are you really going through with it, though?

- Yeah.

I don't even know what any of this means anymore.

You were right.

That's what we both agreed on doing.

It wasn't because of you.

- I just hate this feeling.

I hate this.

- Me too.

Are you tired?

- No.

[COWBOY JUNKIES, "MISGUIDED ANGEL"]

- Oh, wow, this song.

- Oh, I was so emo.

[laughs]

I say that we never listen to the last song.

- Really?

- Yeah.

That way, you know, if we don't hear it,

it can be just a little piece of wonder

that we can take with us forever.

- Yeah.

I like that.

- I love you, Paul.

- I love you.

[sighs]

Your coffee.

I went down to that little spot in Cross Creek.

- Mm-hmm.

Yummy.

- They had a good breakfast spread

there too if you want to go down and get some breakfast.

- Omelet bar?

- You love an omelet bar.

- I really, really, really do.

- I did see a guy slicing some kind of meat,

but I'm not sure what it was.

- Mm.

Fancy.

[somber music]

- [Paul] Let's do a double check.

- [Leah] Yeah, all good on my end.

- Did you leave anything in the backyard?

- Oh, no, I picked up the towels

and I put them in the washing machine.

- Ah.

Okay, great.

I think we're good.

- Yeah.

- I still don't get why you're taking an earlier flight.

- Because I promised Lily that I'd be home before dinner.

- Oh, I get it.

It's just an extra three hours with you would have been

nice, though.

- Just hug me, Paul.

- Leah.

- Hey.

I have a delivery for Paul Mallory.

- Yeah, that, that's me.

- I just need you to sign there, please.

Have a good day.

- Thanks, man.

- [Leah] Hey, babe.

I hope you like these songs.

I picked them all because they're special to me

and you're special to me, and I just wanted

to tell you that I love you.

I'm excited to see you at school tomorrow.

I love you, and I will always love you no matter what.

And now for our final song.
