[upbeat music fades]

[woman over phone]
Were you thinking of someone in particular?

Uh. No. It’s about--

It’s about families. Este vorba despre
dragoste. It’s about war. Este vorba despre

our search for deeper
conexiune. It’s about being forcefully separated.

It’s about my
experiences growing up.

[woman over phone]
Totally get it. Go do your artsy thing, okay?

Te iubim. We’re excited
and we’ll see you tonight. Bye!

Unde esti?

[upbeat music fades in]

[upbeat music fades out]

You sure you want to get rid
of these? Adică...

there's some old movies in here,
a lot of them are out of print.

Yeah, yeah. Este
time to move on.

You sound like my ex.

- Serios?
- Da.

She made me throw
away my bootleg copy of Titanic.

Uh. That must’ve
been like two tapes?

Era. I stole it while I was
backpacking in Istanbul.

Da. I, uh, watched
it in the TV room with this Israeli girl.

And, um, let’s just
say best night ever. Ştii ce vreau să spun?

And I do still watch Titanic
here and there, just,

when I get lonely. Don’t judge
me about it, okay?

[customer] You know, that would
just ruin the movie for me

because I’d be watching it,
thinking about the memory

instead of enjoying it
pe moment.

Okay, well here’s a
question for you. [clicuri pe limba]

If you had a time portal that
could take you to your favorite

memory of all time
would you do it?

Yeah, I guess my point
is that I know there isn't one,

so I'm not gonna entertain
the thought because it would

just frustrate me.

Well, you don't know if there
isn't one, and I would jump head first.

- Take me back to
Istanbul immediately. - [customer laughs]

- Alrighty.
- Da. Da, probabil ai dreptate. Hei!

Promise me you'll survive.
That you won't give up, no matter what happens,

no matter how hopeless.

Never let go, Jack.
Nu. lasa. Merge.

- I said never let go. Nu.
- Okay, let go.

- Dă drumul.
- Bine, poți să pleci.

Hei! Thank you for supporting
the cause.

You got it, buddy.

Apreciem.

Laela?

Uh, oh. Oh my god, how are you?

Sunt bine. Da. Tu?

Bine, da. Tu?

Eşti bun. Ai spus deja
că. Uh, I’m sorry. Eu doar, um...

I--I know, this
is kinda surreal.

Da. Yes, it’s not
everyday you run into a...

The most amazing human ever.

Da. Da. Aşa ceva.

Well, I, uh, don’t
wanna hold you up or...

No, no, my car is just around
the corner.

I’ll walk with you.

Da. That’ll be great.

It’s a...
It’s super muggy out today.

Yeah... I kinda like it though.

Da. You, um, you always walk
around with DVDs?

La dracu '! Oh my god I think I just
stole this.

It takes a certain kind
of scumbag to steal from a struggling business.

Oh, I feel terrible.

It’s fine, I'm sure they have a
ton of copies.

Uh. It gives me a chance to
du-te înapoi.

Da.

Ce este asta? Blind Chance?

Is that the one with the
guy who misses the train?

Da. Au refăcut-o în anii 90.

Oh da. Huh. Unele lucruri
pur și simplu nu ar trebui să refaci.

It’s really good
to see you, Colin.

Da. Da. este
good to see you too.

So, what brings you
out here anyway?

Sunt aici de o lună, lucrez,
on a sculpture. Pentru IRC, pentru consilierul pentru refugiați.

- Oh. Wow.
- They’re raising funds to resettle families in the U.S.

That’s really cool.

Da. But, I'm not
lucrând direct cu ei.

eu merg
prin agenția lor de marketing PR,

- and oh my god...
- Horrible people?

Uf. They're like people who
thought they could be creative

and be all business too.

Încă. I mean, you're like a
full time artist?

Travel,
art, and philanthropy?

Yeah, that’s me.

Dumnezeu. Look at you go.
Adică,

that’s awesome.
You’re living the dream.

Da, îmi place.

It’s been an adventure. al meu
next project is in KL.

I guess what I’m getting
at is, um, what are you doing in South Pas?

- Oh, da. Random, right?
- Corect.

Oh, well, it's gonna sound weird
dar...

everywhere I go I like
to check out the neighborhoods,

I'll notice that this
house is exactly the same.

This one's been
remodeled. The family station wagon and trampolines

replaced with this hot
convertible, and...

then I just make up a story
about what happened. nu stiu,

something I do for
pentru inspirație. Usually when I have a creative block.

- Ce?
- [Colin laughs]

Nimic. Just your, um, accent,
it’s, uh, gone.

I mean, I’m
sure it’s in there. Undeva.

. I guess twenty years of moving
place to place will do that.

Da.

[Laela] You know, most people
think of palm trees and beaches, but...

this is exactly what I picture
when I think of California.

I've always wanted to
see them from the inside.

Hm. Ah, da. The classic Cali
bungalow.

You know there's something
powerful about the relationship between the columns

and the low pitch roofs.
Like it's going to stubbornly stay in this spot forever. Ha.

Do you work for the
historical society or something?

Ha. No. I work with
an architectural firm.

- You’re an architect?
- Uh, a consultant.

I, uh, do the marketing
pentru ei.

- Oh, crap.
- Hotels and tourism boards. Da. Horrible person.

Oh my god, I'm so
sorry about that marketing comment. I'm so-

- That's fine.
- Sunt...

Clearly time has turned you
into a thief

and just an all
around horrible person. deci...

Ah... There’s hope. nu sunt
that dead inside. Iţi promit.

Yeah... Has it really been
twenty Years?

Douăzeci și trei. De fapt.

Te uiți la mine
parca as fi un strain. Am I really that different?

Nu știu. Poate doar sunt
şocat

that you’re here right now.
I can’t wrap my head around it.

- You're saying I've aged
nu-i asa? - Nu, nu! nu sunt.

- Asta e total
ce spui! - Nu asta spun.

Well, you're no spring chicken
fie! Domnule model.

Model fost copil. Şi
you look great, by the way.

Da. Da. Tu doar încerci
to get out of trouble now.

That’s pretty much all the time.

Well, you look exactly
like I imagined you would.

Ei bine, poate este, uh,
how quickly we all left Jakarta.

But, um, some
faces are just frozen in time.

Now there’s a happy couple.
Care este numele tău de familie?

Um... Sorry, what do you mean?

Lee! Noi suntem Lees.

Just wipe your feet cause I
don't want anything coming in here.

And shut the door
cause I don't flies coming into this house. Bine.

Intră. Stai
jos. And just feel the energy of this room.

The light in here is great.

- Este?
- Da. It’s, uh, not like our place.

Is it too dark?

No. It’s, uh, too bright.

Yeah, we have to put on sun
block before bed,

the soft complexion of the face.

[laughs] You don't want to
hear what I do before bed.

Okay, follow me.

Here we have a fantastic,
and I mean fantastic

dining room. But I hate
to cook, do you cook?

Uh, on, um, Mondays.

[laughs] I hate to
cook. I hate people.

Fully remodeled
bucatarie. Brand new appliances.

Pretutindeni.
I mean, is this great or what? Și este doar

the perfect room for big family
adunări.

Oamenii ajung mereu
in the kitchen, I don't know why.

- [râde] Da.
- Right this way. Vreau să-ți arăt ceva.

Acesta este absolutul meu,
camera preferata.

[Colin își drese glasul]
Hey, what’s with the plant pics?

Uh, luând referință
photos for my plant empire.

[Colin] Uh huh. Da.
Cum merge asta?

- Uh, I’ve never actually
a deținut unul. - Serios?

- Yeah, I’m never
in apartament. - Absolutely my favorite room.

I'm talking to myself again.
Buna ziua!

Mrs. Kim, come with me or
I'm going to steal your husband. [giggles]

It’s the Lees but it's fine.

Bine, acum. Crede-ma,
Am păstrat ce e mai bun pentru final.

Look at this fabulous
curtea din spate. You've got a wonderful pool.

And what's great is that you
could have a meal out here if you wanted to.

This would be perfect for Illy
when she has to go at night.

Aw, what breed is she?

The overbearing
kind. A real bitch.

Uh, that’s not true at all.
Mother is just very particular.

Okay... Uh, the best thing
about the pool is just the right size,

so that if you
wanted-- You hear that?

Hear what exactly?

The sound of children playing in
a backyard. Do ya have children?

- [laughs] Yes.
- [laughs] No.

Well, uh...

Well, there’s time, I guess.

Asta din nou? How many times...

[in foreign language]

Serios? Serios? Not in public,
te rog.

[in foreign language]

Ştii ce? I’m just going to
let You two discuss things for a while.

- [laughs] Her face, I mean...
- Oh my god.

Asta este. I officially
retire from improv.

You’re still pretty good though.

Ah, știu. Dar eu
feel so gross now.

Well, regardless, I
owe you a coffee.

Ah, I can’t...

Tea...? Bere...?

Nu, nu. It’s not that. Este
uh...

I’m actually leaving
for Pennsylvania tomorrow.

- Oh.
- Da...

How long are you gone for?

[sighs] Uh, well, uh...

a couple of years. Um, maybe
mai mult.

Oh... Gotcha.

Da...

[rail crossing bells sound]

[loud train passes by]

You really need all
day to pack a suitcase?

Uh, no, it’s not that.
It’s uh, movers are coming. It’s a whole thing.

Oh, totally. Înțeleg.
It would’ve been nice to catch up though.

Da. Da. Desigur.
Uh, well, if you, um,

if you're heading back I
could give you a ride. Back to your place.

You know, we could catch up on
calea.

Yeah... Sure... If that’s cool?

Da! Totally, hop in!

[car door opens]

[car engine starts]

[“Inside the Fire” by
The Soonest plays]

It really is something
about the light here.

Da. Da. eu
used to think so too.

Whenever it’s humid like
this I think of Jakarta after it rains.

You ever
get memory bombs like that?

Well, it’s LA, so it hardly
ever rains. Nu chiar.

Oh, haide. Acolo
trebuie sa fie ceva.

Wha-- I don’t know. Uh, the smog
And traffic?

[ batjocori]

Ce-- Ce?

I--I mean I haven’t really
thought about going back to any of the places I lived.

De ce nu?

Nu știu. Doar. Never felt
the need to.

It was a good time
but I don’t miss it.

It was a really good time.

[Colin] Dad retired this
year by the way.

[Laela]
What was his last posting?

Beijing. Da. Almost forty
years as a diplomat. End of another era.

- Oh! Da
remember something! - Da?

Da. The smell of open sewers
on a hot day after a flood.

- That’s terrible!
- [laughs] Who said they had to be good?

Okay, well try digging a
little deeper.

Îți amintești
our memory adventure game?

Oh. Was that that thing
we used to do by the pool?

Exact!

Ce a fost din nou? Noi
had to, uh, collect like three ingredients?

Da! Da!

Oh, Doamne!

Wha-- I don’t remember!

Sunshine, water, and wind!

Oh, corect, corect. Sunshine,
water, and wind.

By our powers combined,
[mimics character] I. Am. Căpitan! Plan--

Haide! Play along!

Okay, okay, okay, okay. voi
jucați împreună. I’ll play along.

[sighs] If we focus on the
feeling of water evaporating in the sun,

it'll feel like we're being
teleported to another time.

Uh huh.

Like we’re, uh,
disintegrating piece by piece.

[makes static sound]

[mimics character]
Ground control to Col. Sagan, what’s your status?

I'm on the dirt road
along the rice paddies behind my house.

[Laela continues]
We're biking to our little hut with...

a discman,
a pack of cigarettes,

some kind of bottle of
alcohol, probably Absolut.

And I'm enjoying
the ride but you're worried

about getting caught with a
joint in your pocket. But we don't get caught.

Ok, my turn.

Nu!

[laugh together]

Aşa. Where are you based now?

Londra. Sydney before that.

Oh. What brought you there?
Lucru?

A divorce.

Oh. Ah. Îmi pare rău.

And you’ve been here...

In LA? Unsprezece ani.

The States?

Since Jakarta.

You know, I was actually in
LA for a few months before.

Serios?

Da.

În nici un caz! Pleacă de aici! Când?

It was right after my
divorce, six years ago.

You’re kidding.

nu sunt. Este amuzant pentru că
I was on the way to New York

from Sydney and I had
a connecting flight at LAX but I didn't get on it.

Hmm.
[clicuri pe limba]

Must’ve been the light.

It totally was the light.
[râde]

Hey, uh, I kinda save these
for special occasions but,

uh, do you want one?

Da. Sigur.

Dă-mi asta.

[laugh together]

Not as easy as it looks.

[“Inside the Fire” by
The Soonest plays]

[Colin] Can’t believe you
and me were in there same city at the same time.

[Laela] Well, we’re here now.

[“Inside the Fire” by
The Soonest plays]

- [Laela] Sooo...
- [Colin] This is the place?

- [Laela] Yeah... we’re getting
aproape. Getting pretty close. - [Colin] Are you sure?

Are you taking me
somewhere dangerous?

[Laela] Um, actually, just
the left right up here.

[Colin] Left here? Bine.

- [Colin] This is pretty, uh...
- [Laela] It’s kinda dangerous, but...

- [Colin] Oh, I see...
- [Laela] I’ll protect you.

[both laughing]

- [Laela] Are we laughing?
- [Colin] Yeah.

Why--why are we laughing?

[sighs] I don’t know. But it
se simte bine.

Da. Da, da.

You wanna come up? See my work?

- [sighs] You know, I’d love to.
- Oh, nu, nu. E cool.

- Mi-ar plăcea să. Dar știi...
- Ştiu. Știu.

but dudes are showing
up, and it’s a whole thing.

Nu, nu. Da. chiar vreau
check out your sculpture. Da.

I guess it's not everyday
you run into someone from twenty years ago.

Cineva
who doesn't ask where you're from,

why you moved around so much...

What mix are you? tu
know karate? Did you ride tigers to school?

Exact.

Da.

But... [sighs] I got shit to do.

You got shit to do. Da.

Bine.

Ei bine, vreau să spun,
wanna help me pack?

Tempting but, I kinda have
this thing with the IRC people.

Right, of course, you
mentioned that. You have actual work, um, to do.

Scuze, scuze. Asta a fost
silly of me to ask. [sighs]

Run along now to your
plasters and clays.

No. Not this time.

[“Fomo” by Glom plays]

This is my place.

Colin, this place looks amazing.

Da. Da. It’s a shame the
new owners are tearing it down.

That’s so sad.

The tragedy of Northeast LA.

[trash lid slams shut]

- He looks friendly.
- Oh da. That's Ruben,

he doesn't look like it
but he's the neighborhood gossip.

Here, take the
key and let yourself in.

[Colin] Hey! Reuben!

[door shuts]

Pilea Pepero.

[door opens and shuts]

Welcome to the chaos. eu
swear it's not normally like this. [sighs]

Can I get you something to
drink? I think I'm down to tap

water and hard
liquor at this point.

I’m good, thanks.

Bine. Cool, well make yourself
acasă.

Or, uh, whatever this
este. I’ll be back in a sec.

[sighs]

[sighs]

It’s a beautiful house.
It’s so alive, and all the plants! This view!

Da.

La dracu! Is that the ocean?

Oh da. Like miles down there.
Past the smog. Da. [râde]

There’s something super familiar
about LA to me.

It's like this sprawl reminds me
of an Asian city.

Yeah, I was in fourth grade
when we went on this

great American road trip.

Yeah, we lived in Poland
at the time and I remember

my mind was blown.
So much of everything:

landscapes, people, sense
of freedom.

We walked into a grocery store
and I was speechless. So much stuff!

The consumerism here is insane.

Yeah and I was visiting
from a place with food shortages!

Noi nu am făcut-o
have access to cool things but...

I remember being a really
happy kid.

Și de aceea tu
came back and stayed?

Because of the grocery
stores and overconsumption?

No, that’s not what I meant.

- Doamne. That’s what it is here!
- Ce?

Why it feels like Asia
aici. It’s this poverty gap.

Ok, take it easy,
it’s not that bad here.

Oh, Doamne! Ai tu
been downtown? You’ve seen the tents, right?

Sure, LA has its problems
but what city doesn’t?

Okay... Colin. C’mon. It's ok to
love a place but

love it for
its faults too. Don’t pretend.

I love all of it! I love all of
ea! Da.

Otherwise I wouldn’t
have been so drawn to this city.

Do you feel accepted
aici? I mean, for being...

Ce? Amestecat?

Of all the cities I've lived in
this is as close as I've come.

I'm still not Asian enough and
I'm sure as hell not white enough, but...

You know here, nobody cares.

So in a weird way
you can be yourself?

Da.

Well, in France I’m exotic

and in Korea I’m a big
dezamăgire.

Are sens.

You know, of all the cities I’ve
lived, this is the one.

I’ve never really felt that.

About a place.

Where’d you go?

After the riots? Singapore.
A lot of Jakarta kids went there actually.

Da. I’m glad you
guys got out okay.

Da. Well, Mom and I
a făcut.

My father stayed back.
He thought he could save what he built but he couldn't.

When things calmed down,
we went back and...

our entire neighborhood
had been burned to the ground. We lost everything,

all the memories.

La naiba. Îmi pare rău să aud asta. El este
bine? You know, safe, I mean.

Yeah, physically, but
he just wasn’t the same after that.

A fost ca
a light went out in his eyes.

That’s terrible. eu sunt
imi pare rau sa aud asta.

But I went back in 2008.

To Jakarta?

Da!

În nici un caz!
Uh, da.

Oh! Hey, is that Tanamur
place still there?

Ah! Nu! That place we ran into
your mom?

Da! Da. You know, she got
us wasted on those Singapore slings.

Dumnezeul meu. Am uitat de asta.
[râde]

No. It's, um, yeah... It's all
plecat.

Um, Jakarta
is completely rebuilt now.

- La naiba...
- But, you know,

a part of me feels like it was
good that I went back

because it reinspired me to keep
seeing the world. To keep the adventure going.

I love how the LA sun feels
on my skin.

You come out here
naked in the mornings?

[laughs] No...

- Oh my god, why not? sunt
you a puritan now? - Nu.

- You've turned into a puritan.
- Oh my god,

Lae not everybody lives in
a Bertolucci film, okay?

Oh my god, I'd be out
here everyday enjoying this sun,

and air, on
your skin! E ca o magie.

I'd be the crazy lady who
does this till she's eighty.

That doesn’t surprise me.

Well, let’s do it together.

Fă ce?

Enjoy some sun.

- No. What are you doing?
Nu, nu. Pleacă de aici. - Ce?

- No. Absolutely not!
- Oh, Doamne! It’s nothing I haven’t seen!

I’m good, thank you.
Sunt bine.

Amenda. I’ll go solo.

Ce? Nu! Nu! Nu! Nu!
Nu! Nu! Bine!

I have neighbors. Isuse...

- Uh, um. Alright here. bine,
so... - Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Let’s get to work. Sunt aici
a lucra. Pack your house.

Uh, so I'm going to
take Koji's room. If you want to take the office.

Sunt unele
sharpies in there, just need to label all the boxes, office.

- Am înţeles.
- Cool.

Who’s Koji?

Uh... Koji is... my son.

- Drăguţ.
- Yeah, he’s four.

What’s his mom’s name?

Uh, Sofia.

Well, I'm sure she's as
beautiful as her name suggests.

Probably very
smart too, knowing your taste in women.

[sighs] Yeah. Da da.
She’s punctual.

Punctual?

Oh, and she's other things
de asemenea. You know, she's, uh, driven, and caring.

And she's a great mother.

And punctual.

That’s not easy
to come by in LA.

De cât timp ești căsătorit?

[sighs] Four. Nu.
Ah, la dracu. Îmi pare rău.

Cinci. Cinci ani. Da.

Yeah, we got pregnant with Koji,
and um, we decided to do the thing.

Fatherhood looks great on you.

Da. Fake it ‘till you make it
Bănuiesc.

[laughs] What do you mean?

Well, I'm just-- You know
spun eu. You have plans and then, you know,

your plans change and you kinda
have to put your shit aside and make it up

as you go along. Nu este ca
when you're single and you can just focus on yourself.

- Bine, bine...
- Oh, That wasn’t a dig at you. Îmi pare rău.

Newsflash, being single sucks,
prietenul meu,

especially at our age.
Everyone has shit to do and you

wake up every morning to an
empty bed and a quiet house.

Ah, you have no idea how
luxurious an empty bed and quiet time sounds.

Yeah? Imagine it every day.
I once went two weeks without contact with a single soul.

Hmm. Da. Da, sunt
not sold.

But, maybe being stuck indoors
with the right person wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Right... Well... I’ll
get started here.

[bat la usa]

Oh, that’s probably the
movers.

- I should, uh, I should go--
- Da! Da. Merge.

Anunță-mă dacă
ai nevoie de orice.

[Laela’s phone buzzes]

- Heya guys! I’m Colin.
- Hey what's up man? We're the movers.

- I'm Mitch and this is
Earl. We're brown and move it around town.

- Are you Colin?
- Yeah, I’m Colin.

You’re Colin? ești tu
sigur? bine,

so, uh, what are we
working with here?

Uh, da. This is, uh,
most of the stuff here.

These boxes, and, uh,
there's a few more upstairs.

Okay, upstairs. You got any
weird hipster shit we should know about?

Last place we
moved out on York, homeboy had a fucking aquarium

with some alien looking
fungus thing in brown water

he called Scooby.
Shit was gross, yeah?

Nu. No Scooby
aici. Yeah, good there.

Um, you guys are moving
my car as well.

That needs to go down to the
depot for the move.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cu siguranta.

That’s what
you’re paying us for, right?

E bine?

[exhales loudly]

What’s up big guy?

Iordania. Aguinaldo.

Huh. Dude, I knew I
recognized this place!

This was like two different
places before. Like they knocked down that wall.

Uh... Who is that?

We grew up here until like,
high school, y'know.

Like, Jordan was a homie
from back then.

Anywho, we got two extra guys,
six total, so,

we're looking at 45 tops down
aici.

Uh, da. Sună bine. Uh, feel
free to send guys up when you guys are finished up down here.

Bine!

- Omule.
- Da.

- Pretty nice.
- Yea.

gentrification is a trip.

Gen-tri-fication!

[“Calm Me Down”
by Shelter Boy plays]

Hey Reuben.

I was seeing if you wanted to
take any of these plants.

I’m not running a Goodwill here,
Colin.

Alright, I’ll, uh, see
if Maria wants them.

Uh, no, no, no, no.
She'll just let them die. Come on, bring here.

Sunteţi sigur? I’m sure she'll
be happy to take them.

Da da. Now stop whining.
Come on, hand them over!

- Mierda! Oh...
- Shit... Sorry.

Da da. E în regulă. Este doar
apă.

Old hands. This heat
isn’t helping either. Îmi pare rău.

Totul este bine. Mulţumesc.

Tomorrow’s the day, huh?

[sighs] Yeah... Yeah, it's hard
to believe.

Seems like we
just moved in yesterday.

I just wish you weren’t
selling to those investors.

Da. Şi eu.

It’s a sacred thing, a house.
You leave a piece of you in it.

I guess I never really look
at it that way.

If I had it my way,
we wouldn’t be moving.

[sighs]

[exhales, sniffs]

Thirsty much?

[sighs]

Da...

It’s a hot one.

Cum arăt?

It always looked better on you.

Fum?

Nu există
smoking in the house.

Well... it’s not your house
anymore and they’re tearing it down anyways.

Uh huh.

So... You, uh, found my stuff.

I don’t know how I feel
about finding my work in your donations pile.

Oh da. Uh. Ştii
honestly, I haven’t

seen a lot of that stuff
in ages. It’s just kind of, you know, things.

Do you think I can
keep some of it?

Da. Uh, I mean,
it’s your artwork.

I mean some of the other stuff.

Da, sigur. It was just stuff I
was going to throw away anyways.

Like this tee?

La dracu '! I love that tee.

You’ve tried to steal that
thing from me for years!

Well... I’m the one
that got it for you.

Mmhmm.

Mă voi gândi la asta.

Well, I get what
I want eventually.

Why do you want this shit
oricum?

Mostly, they remind me of people
as they were at the time.

You ever think about if we had
social media back then? Or like actually used email?

I think about that a lot.

We could’ve met up again.

Oricum. Uh, it must've
felt good to look back at your work.

Y'know. Vezi
how much you've grown. Changed.

It's like seeing
an old friend.

You remember all the love you
gave it, how much it meant to you,

who you were at the time. Şi
then you start wondering where it all went wrong.

Da. Sometimes I think the
fantasy is better than the reality.

Like, the idea of what could be
is better than what you get.

I guess we’ll never really know.

Maybe it’s exaggerated because
of the way we grew up. You know, all the moving around.

Being dragged around the
world at the whim of your parent’s career?

All the sudden good-byes. Având
to box your life up again and again.

Then unpacking and sorting
through the emotional wreckage afterwards.

Da! Da. It forced
us to make these very intense relationships so quickly.

I don't know about you,
but I feel like the older I get

the fewer
of those meaningful connections I make.

You know there's these
lines of a Rosetti poem

that I haven't been able
to shake since I read them.

"If you shall remember
me after a while, do not grieve,

for if the darkness and
corruption leave,

a vestige of the thoughts
once I had,

better to smile and forget

than to remember
and be sad..." Or something like that.

Squad goals. [râde]

Da.

It’s a good one tonight.
A farewell gift I guess.

Something to remember her by.

[Colin] What are you up to?

Welcome to the theater of
forgotten dreams.

- Okay, I’m gonna help you
with that because - No! Am înțeles.

- you don’t know
what you’re doing. You don't- - I remember! Da, da.

Look, I got it.

wow...

Verificați asta.

- Wait...
[Colin laughs]

is this the same bottle
from the drama exchange in Bangkok?

Da. Da, este.

Vai.

Pick your poison.

I’ll go with the big one.

Wow... who are those people?

Nu știu.

To our health. May we keep it
after this drink. [clinc]

- Sapa takut![Deal!]
- Sapa takut!

[coughs]

Wow! Has that gone bad?

No, I think it’s pretty much
supposed to taste like death.

I am definitely
getting flashbacks.

I--I--I think it’s actually
gotten better over time.

[Colin] Whoa. Uită-te la asta.
Really close talking.

- [indistinct]
- [Colin laughs] Classic... [indistinct]

- Oh! You sneaky, sneaky!
- Da!

Is that our first
sărut? No, it wasn’t.

Oh it’s Elin! Aw, I haven’t
thought of her in ages.

Yeah, did she end
up in Singapore?

No, her family went back to
Stockholm.

Apparently Elin
took her own life in '99.

No... Really?

I mean... She couldn't
handle being back amongst her own anymore.

Perhaps she's
lucky for not making it out of the 90s.

Da. Asta este
oribil. Skålto Elin!

We had some great conversations
totuși. Like, is sperm alive?

Are Lonely Planet guide books
simply a roadmap for invasion?

Why is the plural of moose not
meece when mice is to mouse?

You know, those guide books
actually are an extension of colonialism.

Just like our
“international” schools.

Glumești?
You’re kidding right?

Nu. Nu chiar.

Our academic life shaped a very
inclusive view of the world for all of us.

Sure, but think about it,
what makes an international school "international"

in primul rand?
Reprezentare? That’s a starting point.

But then the students are
taught by English teachers,

on an American system
celebrating western holidays.

But that’s not colonialism. Ei
didn’t force it on the locals.

But kids from all over the
world are forced to speak

and communicate and learn
western culture and they get sent back

to their own countries
practically as foreigners.

I mean think of all the
Japanese students who have to

go back to a strict
social hierarchy.

But the ideals were progressive!

Știi ce? eu voi face
jump back ashore, Christopher Columbus.

Just for a little safety.
I'll be--

Whatever you’re half British!

- [Colin] Ouch!
- I’m just saying that

we all came out with a wider
lens, a bigger view of how the world works.

With an American filter.
Bine. Here’s an example, who’s Madeleine Albright?

- Haide.
- What are you-- What even is this game?

Just play along. Doar
jucați împreună. Who is Madeleine Albright?

Oh my god... Okay,
former US Secretary of State under Clinton.

Okay, who was her counterpart
in China?

- Haide. O poți face.
- De ce?

- Cat's got your tongue?
- What is your point?

Do you need to call someone?

Știi? Oh, Doamne!
Okay, fine!

I get your point!
I am a colonizer.

No, I'm not saying you're a
colonizer. Ceea ce spun este,

you know, that we are products
of a colonialist system

and we can't change that, but,
yes, we can and we should make things better.

Bine, bine, clar că nu toată lumea
agrees. Uită-te la câți oameni nu au votat în 2016.

Yeah... I didn’t...

Ce? Ce?

I didn’t-- I didn't vote.
[râde]

- Serios?
- Ce? Adică...

California is a blue state
oricum. You gotta contextualize these things.

- [laughs]
- Ce?

Nu pot să cred... Tu nu poți
talk about change and not vote. E o nebunie!

My vote wouldn't have made
a difference! Literally would not have made a difference.

Okay, I don't believe you've
become an isolationist that stays in his own bubble!

Bubble? Who’s in a bubble?

Okay, colonialist upbringing
or not, we bridged differences

with each other because
we believed in a better world.

You're losing sight of that.

Da. Da. You’re probably
corect.

Just don't get so caught
up in the rat race that you disconnect completely.

Look, I don't know about you
dar simt de parcă lumea a trecut de la mine.

Y'know, we’re raised to get
a steady job, a 401K, a white picket fence.

[scoffs] That reality doesn’t
exist anymore.

Whatever,
just gotta move forward and not look back.

De ce urăști
our past so much?

Maybe I just look for
reasons to not want to go back.

It's the wanting I hate.
Wanting the impossible.

Oh, I think I remember this!
This is Ricardo’s birthday!

Da! The Italian kid with
the opera mom! God, that was the most dramatic song ever.

[both sings]
♪ Buon compleanno a te... ♪

[both laughs]

Avea această voce fumurie,
and this sexy Italian accent.

- [in Italian accent] No, no,
please, Carmella. - Da. Asta este! Asta este!

- [laughs] That's it!
- Mrs. Di Benedetto is my mother.

Laela, why do you dress
like a boy? You must show your tits!

- [laughs] Your tits.
- [Laela] Aceasta este o femeie! Nu?

Oh. Oh, Doamne.

- Ah, look at that.
- Oh, Doamne...

Uită-te la părul tău. Ar trebui
crește părul înapoi.

Uh, nu stiu. Cred că sunt
trecut de asta.

[tânăra Laela la televizor]
Este tragic pentru că m-ai fi părăsit

pentru o altă femeie și când
vedeți că veți fi veți fi,

[imitează vocea lui Colin]
La naiba! Fata aceea era bine!

ce naiba făceam
o părăsești? [râde]

- Oh...
- [Laela râde]

[tânărul Colin] Nu pot trăi.
Nu pot trăi fără acest ochi...

Chiar... măriți camera aia
chiar acolo?

[tânărul Colin]
Și... cu siguranță aș... Ombic?

[mormăie]
I don’t remember this...

[tânărul Colin] Și blugii ăștia,
I don't think they're necessary,

maybe you should get rid
dintre acești blugi.

- Poate ar trebui
scapă de acești blugi! - [tânăra Laela țipă]

Oh... I don’t think we need to
uita-te la aceasta parte...

Nu! Stai, e frumos.
Adică, nu mai suntem nici măcar noi, nu?

Uh... Da... da. Corect.
Total. It’s not us...

- [bătând, la televizor]
- [Tânăra Laela și Colin gâfâie]

- [strigând la televizor, neclar]
- Uh, am uitat complet că am fost arestați.

God... I have never seen
aceasta. Așa... exact cum îmi amintesc de el.

Da. I’ll never
forget that voice.

[țipând, râzând, la televizor]

[tânăra Leala și Colin țipând]

Ah...

[în franceză]
Bonjour les enfants.

[laughs, in English]
Știu ce făceai.

Și eu am fost tânăr odată, știi.
Știu că nu crezi

but I was. Why is the old guy
ne deranjează mereu, nu?

[in French] C'est ça?
[în engleză] Poate într-o zi găsești asta

și ai aceeași vârstă
I am now,

Ei bine, asta este pedeapsa ta,
okay?

Și poate că bătrânul crede,
uh, nu ar trebui să îmbătrânești prea mult prea repede. Huh?

It's a journey.
Enjoy your youth.

[Colin șoptește] Ești bine?

[adulmecă]

Yeah... Yeah. I’m okay.

[ofta]

You still smell the same.

Do I smell like a teenager?

Nu, nu, vreau să spun. nu stiu...

Ar trebui, uh, să primesc
tu niște apă.

[indistinct]

[water pouring into glass]

[Colin’s phone buzzing]

Mi-e atât de foame!

Ce o să fac cu tine?

Hrănește-mă!

Hmm. Bine, voi lua
you to my favorite, secret spot,

dar ai
to promise not to tell anyone.

[„Sămânța de nostalgie”
de Grazer plays]

Well, I have this rule with taco
camioane, că dacă sunt doi tauri în flăcări pe lateral,

it usually means "stay the
la naiba, gringo.”

Double toros, got it!

Hold on, I’m shifting.

Is this where you bring
toate întâlnirile tale sau doar cele pe care le ucizi?

Uh, doar cei care cer
Sriracha.

Uf, este un Bon appétit
ingredient of the year! Tropauthentic.

Well, then, we might as
ei bine du-te după niște boba

pentru că nimic nu spune pan-asiatic
marfă ca o băutură cu bule.

Ooh... Dem se luptă!

[night market
cooking and banter]

- [both sigh]
- Here it is.

My, um,
little slice of heaven.

Sfinte rahat.

Nu este Jakarta sau Bangkok,
dar mi se pare un loc în care pot dispărea.

Mi-e teamă că vom avea
pentru a încerca fiecare lucru aici.

Ei bine, dacă Phi Ae este aici, tu
nu au de ales în această chestiune.

- Mmm. Miroase bine.
- One of each?

- Uh, two... for me. Da.
- Two for you? Bine, văd.

- How many are you going
to have? - Hm,

- Ei bine, am crezut că mergem
să împărtășesc dar... - [doamnă] Bună Colin!

Hey Phi Ae! Uh, this is my
friend Laela.

Hi Phi Ae! Încântat de cunoştinţă.

You so skinny! Ce s-a întâmplat?

You don't like food? Du-te să stai
acolo... înainte de a leșina!

[Colin sighs]

Asta a fost și reconfortant și
declanșând în același timp.

[laughs] I know. She can be
intense.

Auzi asta?

[banter in various
Asian languages]

Not a word of English.

Exact.

[cooking noise]

[„Lightleak” de
There’s Talk plays]

Doar nu vomita în taxi.
Ei taxează suplimentar pentru asta.

Doamne... voi exploda.

Colin! Uite, ia asta cu tine!

- Hey, Phi Ae.
Ce este... Ce este asta? - Niște desert.

Pentru Koji.

[Colin] He’s going to love this.

Nu uita să mănânci! te uiti
mai bine cand ingrasi!

Thanks, Phi Ae!

Haide. Mașina e aici.

[se cântă muzică melancolică]

Nu crezi că Phi Ae
would mind if I brought my dates there, do you?

I mean just the hot ones.

E jos, nu?

Da da. Total.

And, y'know, if the dates
naiba, atunci ai putea, uh,

dump the bodies with her.
Ea știe toate petele.

Must’ve taken you a
while to build up that trust.

Da, avem, uh, [softă] avem
merg acolo de câțiva ani

și ea a început să vorbească doar cu
me last summer, so...

Ei bine, atunci știi
it's time to get going.

Before your roots dig in
prea adânc și devine mai greu...

Harder to leave. Amintesc.
[ofta]

Nu stiu daca sunt de acord cu
that anymore though.

Big mistake, buddy.

[scoffs] Laela. Unele dintre
us have to grow up.

Cel puțin nu am renunțat.

Laela. You can’t keep running
toată viața ta.

Yeah, well, you can't
keep denying who you are either.

This is the life we're given,
the best thing we can do is find others like us.

Is that why you got divorced?

- Da. Da...
- La naiba. Sorry I didn't mean it. Nu am vrut să spun așa.

Actually it is best fucking
decision I made.

Does that make you feel better?

- Are you happy now knowing that
you... - That’s not...

avoided this?
Ai ieșit când ai făcut-o, ai evitat această singurătate!

- Laela, that’s--
- Well done, Mr. Lang!

Felicitări
on winning at life.

You think I've won at life?

You think my life is better
than traveling and making art?

Nu am fost inspirat
peste ani.

Toate celelalte rahaturi
I can deal with, but you have no idea what it's like

to live day in and day out
și fii atât de neinspirat.

Și aici ești,
le ai pe toate!

Aproape...

You want me to drop you off?

Is it alright if I say no?

Da, e în regulă.

[chill electric piano plays]

Eh... De ce nu?

La... Jakarta.

Spre Singapore.

To...[sighs] Los Angeles.

To the emotional wreckage.

[clinchit ochelarii]

- [oftă] Mhmm.
- Da. Da.

- Da.
- You know you’re alive when you can’t feel the burn.

Da. Nu este un lucru bun.

știi. Așa făceam
bine până azi, știi?

Nici măcar nu m-am gândit
the past, I put it all behind me and you gotta show up

călare pe un tsunami de amintiri.

Îmi place de mine aici. Știi, îmi place.
Îmi place de mine aici.

Și totuși te miști din nou.

Ei bine, nu mă mișc pentru mine,
stii tu. Nu mă mișc pentru că sunt singur.

Nu. Te muți pentru
altcineva. Din nou.

Exact ca atunci când părinții tăi
moved you around.

Arată că nu ai pus nimic
behind you.

Da.

Știi, avem vieți de
experiență înghesuită în optsprezece ani.

Asta ne face diferiți.
De aceea este ușor să fii împreună.

Asta... asta este corect.

Imbratiseaza-l.

Dacă ne-am fi întâlnit șase ani
în urmă, toate acestea am putea fi noi.

Aceștia suntem noi.

Se poate?

Da da. vreau ca tu.
vreau ca tu.

Sometimes, when I can't
Gândește-te cum să începi cu o bucată,

I'll put my hands
pe lut și gândește-te la tine.

Serios?

Da. Amintește-ți cum ai
pielea se simte. I imagine all your lines and contours

It’s not the same body anymore.

te vom găsi.

Atât de rău, nu?

te voi anunta.

Don’t even want to look at me.

E o aluniță aici.

Uh huh.

This is the rib-- this one?
Nu, asta e coasta pe care ai spart-o pe gardul școlii.

- Da, e bine. Acela.
- Grozav, acesta?

E o amintire bună.
Se pare că aveam mare nevoie de acel pachet de țigări.

esti bine? tremurați.

Yeah, my skin feels alive.

[“In Your Hands” by
There’s Talk plays]

Aceasta este linia mea preferată.

Ha, da. I bet you
spune asta tuturor băieților.

Nu, vreau să spun, nu asta
linie. Other lines.

Uh huh.

Yeah? Deci ce
makes it so special?

[Șoptind] Mmm, pentru că știu
ce simt când pun capul pe el.

Yeah? Cum se simte?

Acasă.

Iată-l.

Din toate timpurile, tocmai ai avut
să mă întorc în viața mea acum.

Yeah, right now, when
în sfârșit suntem doar tu și eu.

[“In Your Hands” by
There’s Talk plays]

[both giggling]

[Laela]
This is new?

Uh...

[ofta]
A biking accident.

Acest. This doesn’t feel...

I know...

[song fades]

Pileo-pepero-something.

[Telefonul lui Colin bâzâie]

Hey, how’s it going?
I just need a sec.

Cine vrea cafea?

Your coffee and croissant,
Monsieur Colin!

[cries]

Lae? Hei!

- La naiba...
- Hei, ce se întâmplă?

They packed your coffee.

Ce?

I went out to get coffee.

Hei, hei. Credeam că ai spus
nu aveam de gând să facem...

I-- [sighs]

Ce? What's go--
Hei, hei, hei.

I thought you fucking left
fără să-și ia rămas bun.

Tocmai m-am dus la Reuben's
drop my spare key off.

Am crezut că te-am pierdut din nou.

Lae...

- Asta e o prostie. Mă simt prost.
- You're not stupid.

Nu ești... Uite, tocmai am plecat
la Reuben's să-mi lase cheia.

[Colin sighs]

My ride is here.

Hei... Unde e dracului meu
coffee?

[laugh together]

Hey, you know, I...

Aveam tot acest discurs pregătit
if I ever saw you again.

Yeah, the feelings,
doar se compun și apoi

nu stii daca asa e
chiar ai simțit sau... simțit.

Spune-mi.

Asta e chestia. Da.

Acum ești în fața mea,
I can't remember a damn word. [râde]

The feelings though, they...
they remain.

We don’t have to go
tocmai încă.

We can stay a little
mai lung. No one has to know.

Da. I didn’t like the
way things ended last night.

În același timp a fost cel mai bun
night in a long time.

Da. Kinda feel like it
was supposed to be like that.

All we can do
is embrace the present.

[ofta]

Știi cicatricea aia de pe partea mea?

The bike accident?

Da. I got it on the
worst night of my life.

I was... blackout drunk.
Treceam printr-o grămadă de prostii neprocesate.

Never quite fitting in.
N-am vrut niciodată să rămân pe loc.

Nimic nou. We did our
o parte echitabilă de băut și în timpul zilei.

Yeah, we did, but...

tocmai asta a fost
for the sake of it.

Era vorba de a fi amorțit.

I swerved my bike
into a parked car.

- La naiba...
- It's so silly.

[ofta]

I remember thinking
the car was moving.

Colin... Aș fi vrut să fi putut
been there for you.

Asta e chestia.
I ran into Sofia's car.

Așa ne-am cunoscut.

Și deodată, cea mai proastă noapte din
viața mea s-a transformat în cea mai bună.

[sighs, scoffs]

Yeah... I know...
It's fucked up.

- The teenager in me is
screaming on the inside. - No, don’t do that.

Aș renunța la toate ca să o fac
din nou. Do it differently.

Da. I get that, but...

that's why I have to go.

Because I wouldn't
change it for the world.

Pur și simplu nu vreau să se termine.

You’ll always have
the best part of me.

Hm.

- Bine?
- Bine.

- Bine?
- Bine.

Da... Bine...

Bine.

Da. Hm, este cool dacă
Mă relaxez aici un pic?

Da da. Stai cât tu
nevoie.

Mai bine, fă o ofertă.
În felul acesta nu trebuie să vând investitorilor.

Poate o voi face.

E o cutie de amintiri peste
acolo și o plantă.

Consideră-l un cadou de inaugurare a casei.

Hei.

Sapa-takut.

[Colin râde]

[amândoi râd]

[„În mâinile tale” de
Există piese de discuție]

Ciao, Laela.
