- So I was checking the weather.

Pretty poopy.

Should we cancel?

(Miller sighs)

I went to the butcher.

I was gonna do my special dry rub.

They say it's gonna be like 20 centimeters.

This totally sucks.

Do you wanna order out, Indian or Chinese?

Shit, Stanley doesn't do spicy.

Hello?

What do you think?

♪ Can't bring me down, bring me down ♪

- Oh, hey, what's up?

- Nothing, I just wanted to let you know--

- Oh, wait.

I checked the weather, and it's gonna snow,

so I ordered some food, you need to pick it up by five.

It's from that place you like

with the salt and pepper squid.

Sorry, I know you wanted to grill,

but we can freeze those steaks and use them another time.

Cool?

What is that you wanted?

- No, nothing.

Um, yeah.

Um, thanks.

- For what, this pristine tub? (glove snaps)

- No, the food, I mean, and the tub.

The tub and the food.

Just, thanks.

- Look, before we start, I'd like to, uh.

Do you remember when we, we.

You know sometimes if I.

When men and women, uh, that's not right.

Women, women.

Look, if a man and a woman are at the, nope.

Can I just, if I.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

I don't know.

- Listen, question.

I see that on the coffee table, you put the thing out.

- Yeah. - Seriously, must we?

- You know how I feel about that thing.

- Look, you know, it could be a good icebreaker.

People might like it.

- But it's so,

I don't know, weird.

- Babe? - Yeah, no sor...

Can you get that?

Sorry, just give me a second, don't laugh at me.

- Okay. - Hold on, hold on.

- [Elisabeth] Hi, hey, come on in.

- Hey, how are you? - Hey, how are you?

- [Elisabeth] Come on in, after you.

Hi.

- Hi, Mills. - Hey.

- [Elisabeth] Oh, Lola, didn't know you were coming, hi.

- [Woman] I'm gonna close this, it is--

- [Woman] Yeah, do it, it's freezing.

- Is it bad out there? - Yeah.

- Looks like you have a lot of them, I mean.

- Oh, we'll put those in a-- - That's sweet, very sweet.

(chuckles) Super weird of you, Lola?

- And there is something in the air,

and it's brewing, and it is not good,

do you know what I mean?

Feel like we're far from Hawaii,

but you'll just get lei'd there.

- Um, you, wine?

- Wine.

- [Elisabeth] Are you driving?

- Count me in.

No, okay.

- That was smart of them. - Go ahead.

- Thanks. - How are you doing?

- I'm well, well well.

You doing good? - Yeah.

- Yeah, thanks for coming.

This is nice.

I'm very good.

You have more things, you always have more things.

- That one's new, this is vintage.

- Of course. - So be careful.

- I'll be careful, here we go.

- Yeah, you look good. - Thanks, good.

Just go ahead?

- Yeah. - Thanks.

- [Elisabeth] Mills, honey?

Can you grab that pinot?

- Yeah, okay, the open one?

- [Elisabeth] No no no, the one we were saving.

- Right, and then the open one.

- [Elisabeth] Thank you.

- [Miller] You're welcome.

(lively electronic music)

(Elisabeth laughing)

- That salt and pepper squid was delicious.

I mean, almost as good as when I was in Shanghai last year.

- Well, it's his favorite.

- Close. - Yeah I know that.

- And closer than Shanghai, it's just up the.

- Yeah, it's not such a trek. - Not far to go.

- Yeah, I always get it for him

because he likes it so much.

- Yeah, I knew it was his favorite.

- You guys are so cute. - Mm-hm.

- This is like my favorite picture.

- I think we have this picture.

- Yeah, but I'm holding a pitchfork, and.

- That's right.

Did you know that they're brother and sister.

I just learned that.

- Really?

- In the American Gothic painting,

they're actually brother and sister.

But we're not.

- We haven't had the blood test, though.

But. - That's a weird thing to say.

- You do when you get married.

- [Miller] That's what I'm saying.

- Just saying.

- But, wait a second, the place we got this from,

they are also brother and sister.

I've been going there almost a year, and I didn't realize.

I was like, oh yeah, you're wife.

And he's like, just looks at me.

But that's less creepy than the painting.

- Yeah, I always thought that they were a couple.

And I suggested it to someone for a Halloween costume,

and they were like, like for a boyfriend and girlfriend,

and she was like, you know that they're brother and sister.

I was like, no.

- That seems like, that's like an Amish thing

where they go out and get a.

Have you heard of that, where they go and get a.

- Rumspringa, it's a thing, I'm sorry, just a second.

Lola, are you starving?

- Oh, no.

- Yeah, you eat like a baby bird.

- I am so sorry.

He didn't tell me that you were allergic to, um.

- All things. - What is it again?

- So it's nitrates, it's in most plants, except for greens.

And then the nitrates, I can't have cured meat, so.

- So, so, what-- - But I can eat cauliflower.

- Thank heavens. - Nice.

- That can't be it, though, I mean,

an exclusively cauliflower diet would be pretty grim.

- Oh, no, I can eat like,

there's a lot of vegetables that I can eat, or fruits,

but I have my list, I don't remember them all.

- [Elisabeth] Oh, you brought it with you.

- It's complicated.

- A list, that looks like a short novel.

- Yeah, I'm missing a page actually.

- It's double-sided, it's not.

- Foods allowed, foods restricted.

- Oh, please, indulge us.

- Oh, it's pretty long.

- Start with the J's, let's skip to the middle.

- What, it's alphabetized?

- Well, I can eat almost all the legumes.

That's closest to Js.

- [Elisabeth] I love a good legume.

- Black-eyed peas, brown beans, brown lentils,

chickpeas, green split peas, lima beans, mung beans,

red lentils, soybeans.

Split peas, pure natural peanut butter.

Foods restricted, all others.

- [Elisabeth] All others?

- Yeah, but that's actually a lot for legumes,

but like for vegetables and fruits, I mean, it's not a lot.

- Okay, so do you have an EpiPen, then?

- Uh, no.

- [Miller] Is there like a reason you don't?

- Well, I mean, I stopped buying them

because they're expensive.

- But, dying sucks also.

- And isn't it ridiculously expensive?

- Oh, yeah, it's like $100.

- [Elisabeth] Oh, wow.

- For the EpiPen, or to die, because?

- For a life-giving shot.

- [Lola] It's cheaper to die.

- No, it's really not, funerals are thousands

upon thousands of dollars.

It's ridiculously expensive to die.

- For her.

- Yeah, that's someone else's problem.

- That's a bit macabre of us.

- Lola, is it like an allergy allergy

or is it like a preference?

- It's an allergy.

- So you're not ethically opposed to cured meats?

- No, or vegetables.

- I mean, it would be hard to be

ethically opposed to a vegetable, I must admit.

- They have little teeny souls.

- I'm ethically opposed to eggplants.

I just hate them.

- I don't like saying it.

- [Blonde woman] But aubergine is a beautiful color.

- Oh, right, this whole aubergine eggplant thing,

this is so confusing to me.

- It's really similar to your sweater.

- Yeah, I love a good shade of aubergine.

- Aubergine.

- I'm sorry, what was that?

- I was just saying aubergine, making sure.

It was like, oh, my god.

- Turned into a song, it's a song,

it's a song about your sweater.

My eggplant sweater.

- Couple more drinks and it can be a very good song.

- Write a musical about the eggplant.

- I'd be front row for sure.

Oh yeah. - Yeah!

- Speaking of-- - Ah, wait, which Ben?

- Hot Ben. (Elisabeth laughs)

- Yeah, Theater Ben.

- We just wanted her to say that. (laughing)

(group laughing)

- She loves Hot Ben.

- I take a little issue with,

like I'm not one of those guys, like oh,

I can't tell like, whoever whoever's pretty,

but no, he doesn't, hot?

- Oh, honey. - He looks like a little--

- Oh, you're a little jealous.

- No, he just needs an M word in front of Mills.

- In front of what?

- Well, like Hot Ben, he needs and M word

to go like, I grant that it's not like Big Ben,

but come on. - Oh.

- He needs a descriptor word.

That's what he's jealous of.

- Like Old Mills? - Oh.

- Bad Back Mills. - So what do we cal him?

- Bad Back Miller? - Yeah.

- I think it comes down to what do we call him

when he's not in the room?

- Like Macho Mills or something?

- No okay, well first of all,

do talk about me when I leave, please.

- Oh, god. - No, it's not that.

I'm just saying, he looks a little like a lady.

- Yeah, he's baby faced.

I mean I prefer a gruff look, right?

With that-- - Mm-hm.

- Five o'clock shadow. - Well, Lola,

Hot Ben, doing great,

except that he's in Alice in Wonderland right now,

and I guess he's getting a lot of shit at the stage door

because people are saying that it's not like the book,

but he told me that, after his extensive research,

preparing the role of, whatever,

the rabbit that checks his watch a hundred times,

that apparently,

Alice in Wonderland is the most lied-about book,

like the most people say they've read it

when they have not than any other book.

I don't get it, it is because, like,

why would you lie about reading Alice in Wonderland?

- Is it because everyone's seen like the Disney film?

- I guess, like people think they know it, and?

- If I remember correctly, the film is sort of a conglom

of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, right?

- So this is the thing, is that people are--

- Yeah. - People say

that it's not like the book,

like it's not true to the way it's written,

but it actually, apparently as is written,

is really like all over the map and has no clear narrative,

but the movie.

- I don't lie about reading books.

I've read every book-- - It does seem like a weird.

- I've ever said I've read.

- I've read every book, ever.

- So what was that, like three, or? (laughing)

- 300.

I used to read five at a time as a young girl.

- (laughing) That's not true.

- [Pippa] Actually, it's completely true.

- All open at the same time like a robot.

- Yeah, you just have to reference--

- Just like cut and paste. - Just have to go back.

- Well.

- I wonder if it's just mixed memory.

I wonder if it's not that people are intentionally lying,

but somewhere in there, I mean, it's such a common story,

right, so we all assume, I think, that as a child,

either you read it or your parents read it to you,

and you've sort of just filled in those gaps in your brain

with, yeah, with the story, with the narrative of the movie

versus the book. - Right, right.

- I like to think that people aren't intentionally lying.

- That's a good thought. - Gracious of you.

- Yeah. - I lie about my weight

every single day, anyway, but no,

this thing about this mixed memory.

The thing about this mixed memory,

is that something like when any memory you have

before you're five years old,

it's like, is it really a memory

or is it 'cause your dad told you some shit.

Is that, or you saw something in a photograph,

and you're like of course I remember going to Disneyland,

we're in Disneyland.

You know, is that what that is, mixed memory?

Or what is that?

- It's true, like I have stories that I've told

so many times, and I embellish differently every time,

and now I'm not even sure if they actually happened to me

or if I just turned them into really good stories.

- Oh, so you lie. - Yeah, oh yeah.

I'm full of shit. - But never about reading,

oh wait. (Pippa laughs)

- Never about reading.

No, I wouldn't lie about books.

- Well, well. - Wouldn't lie about books.

- Yeah, I don't know, the idea of memory in general

is just super fascinating, it's unbelievably complex.

I mean, how many seconds have we existed for?

I don't even know. - I can't remember.

- More than 18?

- Yeah, and how does that all file in there somewhere

and does it accurately,

and is my memory the same as your memory of any given event?

It just fascinates me.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

- No, no. - What?

- No, mine. - Oh. (laughs)

- I'm just kidding. - Thank you.

- Not from the glass, sweetie, from the bottle.

Thank you, that's good.

I'm watching my figure.

- Which you lie about daily.

- I. (Elisabeth laughs)

Anyway, all right, well that was fun.

So I'm gonna go get a library card, one,

and then go get. - I love library cards.

- So what's your favorite book then, Pippa?

- Catcher. - Catcher, is that a?

Is that like a baseball novel?

- Oh yeah. - No, it's Catcher in the Rye.

- Oh. - It's just short.

- You're on a nickname basis with J.D. Salinger, huh?

- He's dead.

- Uh, yeah, I'm aware of that. (laughing)

Is that why you like Catcher in the Rye so much,

his keen sense of humor?

- It's a joke, it's a joke.

- Shouldn't Stanley be here?

- I was wondering that myself.

I thought that he was supposed to be coming.

- Yeah. - Did you ask him?

- Yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

I just sent him an email yesterday, and made sure he.

- Ah, you emailed him.

Okay.

- That's probably why he hasn't got it yet.

- Yep.

- Yeah, that's not how you invite people

to a dinner party, babe.

The same way you spam them?

That's not an acceptable way of inviting someone.

- I asked him for his resume, and I, no no.

I just, yeah, I didn't wanna call him, so, you know.

- Oh, yeah. - Ah.

- Yup, last time I was on the phone, it was like an hour.

- You told him how to get here though, right?

- He knows where we live.

- He needs someone to talk to, babe.

- I don't know that I'd wanna be talking much to him

right now, either.

- Yeah, I can't be that guy. - Oh yeah, the divorce, hm.

- Well, do you blame her?

Um. - A bit harsh.

- I'm sorry, but-- - There's the money thing,

but it's a little harsh.

- You're the one that emailed him instead of callin' him,

I'm just sayin'.

- It's not harsh, I didn't be like, fuck you, Stanley.

- Well divorce isn't, I mean, it's not that bad, right?

It's so common these days, 50% of marriages end in divorce,

couples break up, happens all the time.

- Yeah.

- Not arranged marriages. (Lola laughs)

- It's true, we're stuck for life.

- Yeah, three goats to get this one.

- [Pippa] Rearranged, it can be rearranged.

- Oh, she's worth at least five.

- Five? - Five.

- I would give five goats for you any day.

So we're a herd of goats.

- Where was he, was he driving?

- Your dad wasn't the-- - I hope not.

Well I, yeah, that.

It's complete crap out there,

are we sure that he's safe, like--

- [Pippa] I don't even know--

- [Blonde Woman] Do you think he was coming?

- I don't know if he's driving.

- Yeah, he was supposed to come.

- [Pippa] Yeah, what is he driving these days?

- I don't know,

it's a day you wanna be drivin' a fuckin' Hummer.

- True. - I hate those things.

I absolutely hate them.

- Massive. - They are massive, horrible,

you can never pass them, like if you're meeting one

on the side of a street, you are like stop, wait,

as they decide to roll by over top of the cars

that are parked on the side, but,

a storm like this, not a horrible investment.

- Yeah, they're kind of like monster trucks

that are not like real, road-worthy vehicles,

I don't get it.

- I've never gotten monster trucks in general, why?

- You know what they say, big vehicles, right?

- [Blonde Woman] They're really bad on the environment?

- [Elisabeth] Yeah, they have big wheels?

- No, that they're compensating for something.

The drivers of them, for you know. (lips pop)

- Oh, oh right.

Oh my god, that guy's penis must be so big,

his car is so huge.

- No, no, that's not it.

- That's not it. - No, no.

- Oh, 'cause I mean, you drive a scoot-scoot, babe, so.

(women laughing) What's that say about you?

- That I am enviromentrally. (women laughing)

Environmentally friendly, gimme another, would you?

- Have some more wine, have some more wine.

- Well I mean, there's always exceptions.

- Have more wine. - I don't know, I'm.

(Elisabeth laughing)

I like the way it makes me feel.

- Your scooter? - Yeah.

Zipping in and out of traffic, thinking I'm in Italy.

- 'Cause he doesn't have anything to compensate for,

so, you know, no Hummer necessary.

- [Miller] Cheers.

- [Elisabeth] I'm sorry, I'm just teasing you.

- How big is your penis? - Oh, Jesus!

(laughs) Did that just happen?

- Yes, how big is your penis?

- Love it, love it. - Oh sorry, babe,

I opened the door for that one.

- Mm, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum. - Ooh, I like.

Oh, I'm.

- There's gotta be. (Lola giggling)

- You don't have to answer the question.

I think it be best left unanswered.

- I will not answer. - You mean?

- Answer it.

- It'd be best if you showed us instead?

- Dessert is served. - What! (laughing)

- Wow.

What have you been drinking?

- [Blond Woman] I don't think she--

- [Elisabeth] I think she's allergic to wine.

- Yeah, actually my allergies make me feel

kinda drunk sometimes.

- You know what I got for you?

In the kitchen?

- Does it start with a T and end with some lime?

- Mm-hm, little salt in the middle there, babe.

- I love you. - Are you ready?

- As soon as I drink this.

- Yeah, yeah, no, no, I understand.

But can you understand where I'm coming from?

Well, we've been together for how long now,

it's the better part of a decade, at least.

That's it, it's just.

Just done.

We have to know that I wouldn't want it to let it go,

that it's still, you're still a part of,

you're still a part of my life,

I'm still a part of your life, we can't.

I know, right, right.

But. (sighs)

It's, the money doesn't enter into it.

You say that every time.

I can get it, don't worry if they call.

If they call, just don't take the call, that's me,

I'll deal with it.

Yes, I can get the money back.

Sure, sure.

But don't take the call, then, okay?

This keeps getting in between us,

and I just don't want it to be the end.

I can figure this out.

Sure.

But why leave it there, I don't know, if that's.

It's not what I want,

but I can't tell if that's what you want.

I understand that.

Mm-hm.

Yeah.

Okay, yes, yes, the money will be fine.

I don't know, I haven't figured it out right now,

but I will, just don't.

Don't end it like this, it's not.

No, I wasn't.

Yeah, yeah, I feel the same way, I feel the same way,

I just, obviously, it's kind of changed.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry she woke up.

Well, she's not sleeping, put her on the phone.

(haunting electronic music)

- [Miller] Laughter is the best medicine in bed.

- In bed?

- I feel like I always get the same one.

I've had this every time I've ever had a fortune cookie.

Being kind to others will bring rewards.

- In bed. - Ah, in bed.

- Is that like a thing? - Yeah.

- Really? - It makes it funny.

- Okay, okay, develop some flexibility

in your point of view.

In bed.

- Oh see, that's a good one.

- Flexibility in bed is good any way you look at it.

- Well, I like certain points of view as well, so.

(group laughing)

- Okay, my turn? - Yep.

- Yes.

You will reunite with an old friend.

In bed. (laughing)

Love it.

- Happiness surrounds your events this week,

in bed, with Ben. (group laughing)

With Hot Ben.

- [Pippa] Oh, were we supposed to do our tequila shots?

- I'll tell him he as an appointment next week.

- I did. - Oh, okay.

- I had no idea that your Hot Ben.

- [Miller] Aficionado?

- Well no, that you were such a fan.

He's all right. Just had to get it out there.

- Here it is.

- You think he likes me?

- Do I think he likes you?

I don't think knows you, Lola.

- But we can fix that. - Yeah, we can hook you up.

- We can fix that.

- Yeah, let's all go,

let's all go and see his next production.

- I'm just warning you, he's an ego monster.

- Hm. - In bed?

I'm kidding-- - I'll bet you, probably.

- Every sentence now for the rest of the night,

so this is really a thing?

Apparently I've been missing out on this for.

- You've never done that? - No.

- In bed.

- I've never done that, in bed.

- Yeah.

- [Blonde Woman] Yeah, and yours on Ben in bed.

- Every sentence.

(Elisabeth laughing)

- Will you start, have I never ever?

I have never, have I ever never?

- Oh, this is juicy.

- I'm too old for that.

- What about karaoke? - Yes!

- Karaoke, more tequila, then have I never ever,

how does actually go?

- Never Have I Ever.

- Never Have I Ever.

♪ Never ever have I ever friend ♪

- You know what's funny, is when I told him,

when I brought out the tequila,

that you were gonna wanna do karaoke,

so we were prepared for this.

- It's all set up, all the favorites.

- Lights, sounds.

- [Elisabeth] You're so beautifully predictable.

- There's lights and sounds, oh my god.

But before, before, before, before, we do--

- Never Have I Ever? - And before karaoke

and more copious drinking, Jesus, um,

so there's something I actually wanna share with you guys.

- Mm-mm. - okay, no no, we.

- What?

- There's something we found in this house,

and we're all here, so yeah, we wanna show it to you.

- Let's do it. - Okay.

So, um, we moved here, six, eight months ago now, right?

And I had to get an inspection on the house, right,

it was just for the mortgage and everything

you have to do all that stuff.

But I was going with the inspector,

and he got to the attic,

so I'm in there with him in the attic,

and the place is full, it's ridiculous.

It's got, it's right up to the rafters.

Filthy, dusty, spiderwebs, the whole thing,

and I'm like, okay, well,

I hope the old homeowners take all that shit outta here

'cause I'm not super handy with.

- Bless him. - Dusty things or anything,

but so, a week later, we got the keys,

I did carry you over the threshold.

- Oh god.

- That's not to do with, that was a little weird

'cause actually you were holding the keys,

'cause I carried her in just to be a man.

- I told him not to. - And when I put her down,

she was still holding the keys

and actually raked me on the nose, that doesn't matter.

- That's what he gets for not listening.

- I deserved it. - That's really cute.

- I deserved it.

So when I get to the attic, I look in there,

and it's cleaned out, it's all, it's not clean,

I mean, it's filthy as hell,

but there was one box in the middle of the room,

and they had left it, and I'm like okay, that's weird,

should I like call someone, should I get the guy back,

what's going on?

I just sorta left it, I just thought,

you know what, maybe it belongs here, sort of thing?

It was just this weird sorta thought,

just a stupid little thought.

But I'm like, I'm leavin' it.

And I didn't even tell her about it,

and I think it was about three months later,

I woke up in the middle of the night,

and I was like, what the hell's in that box?

So, I get up, you're still sleeping,

and I climb up the little ladder just back there.

- Wait, what woke you up?

- I don't even, like I don't even know.

- Yeah, you weirdo.

Who wakes up at three in the morning

and is like, I'm gonna go to the attic.

(blonde woman laughs)

- I just remembered that there was that box in there.

- [Elisabeth] Mm, okay sorry, carry on.

- So I go in, and the place is still filthy,

the box is still in the middle,

and I have my little flashlight, and I go up to it,

and the weirdest thing was, it wasn't,

the box was clean.

Like, as clean as this one leaves plates

and all our things, you're very tidy.

I know what that sounded like, but you're very tidy.

- I though you were callin' me fat for a second, babe.

- Not at all, not at all.

(Elisabeth laughing)

But like, the whole place was,

I could see my footprints. - You mean relative

to the dust.

- Yeah, I could see my footprints up to the god damn box,

and nothing else, so I brought it down,

and you know, opened it up in the kitchen,

and I found.

- [Pippa] Show us, come on now, suspense!

- All right, just, like be careful with it, okay?

- Mm-mm.

I don't wanna touch it.

- Just hold it for a second.

- It'll be fine. - No.

It is bad ju ju to touch

with other people's religious artifacts,

I don't want anything to do with that thing.

- Is that what it is? - I don't know

if that's what it is. - Religious?

- Well, it has some kind of writing on it,

I don't, I don't recognize the language,

it's nothing I've ever seen before.

It's religious-y.

Nah, I'm not into it. (ominous music)

- What do you think it is?

- [Miller] No idea, just nothin', like nothin'.

- How old's your house?

- Like 60, 60 years or so.

- [Pippa] Oh come on, what's so special about this thing?

- I don't know,

it's like, it's like it's hot and cold

at the exact same time.

- What? - Yeah, right.

Let me see.

What's this all about?

- I'm tellin' ya, bad ju ju.

- Hey, no.

You're onto something.

This is, all of a sudden it's like,

it's vibrating, or it's reverberating right through me,

and I feel more, like more high than anything.

- The candle just went out. (Elisabeth sighs)

- That's weird. - See.

- Oh, it's in your head, oh my god.

- No, the candle really just went out.

- [Elisabeth] No, I saw it,

but the vibrating, it's in your head.

- Like, it may not look right, but it feels right.

Check it out, Lola.

- Are your fingers still warm? - Yeah.

- The first time, yeah.

- More than just my fingers.

- [Lola] Smells fishy.

- What?

- Don't you smell that?

- It's probably the Chinese food still.

- [Lola] I don't have any fish on my plate, so.

- Who owned the house before you guys?

- I thought it was like a traveling preacher or something,

you know?

We talked to the realtor guy, but--

- Yeah, he sounded like a-- - Lola, you okay?

- Like a Paper Moon style salesman.

- A charlatan.

A charlatan. - Charlatan.

- [Pippa] Yeah, give it back.

- Shyster, shuckster, what's that word?

Shyster? - Shuckster.

- Shuckster?

It's a word, you know, a shuckster.

- [Lola] I just need to sit by myself for a while, guys.

- You okay?

- Uh, do you need anything, Lola?

- [Lola] No no, I'm just, you know.

I'm imagining things.

- [Pippa] Hey, fucking be careful with it.

- Yeah, yeah, I am. Easy.

Have you thought about taking it to like a university

or some sort of, like, archeologist or something?

- [Pippa] No, don't take it anywhere.

It's just a piece of junk.

- It's not leaving the house, that's.

- Definitely staying here.

I mean, I would say. - It was here before.

It was here before us, so.

- Well, you shouldn't have touched it in the first place.

Creeps me out.

- Why do you think you did?

- Yeah, I don't know, I just.

It was there.

- Okay, put it away, please.

No me gusta.

Tequila? - Tequila. (laughs)

And more wine.

- I'm on it, I'll get it.

- [Blonde Woman] We're gettin' a little bit low.

(eerie electronic music)

(moves into ominous music)

(door thuds)

- You know what time it is. (groans)

(urine splashing)

(toilet flushing)

How you doin', fella?

You doin' okay?

Mm.

(Miller wretches)

(ominous music)

(door pounding pounding)

- Police, open up.

(pounding) Open up, it's the police.

- What, what?

- We have a warrant for you arrest.

The charges are obstruction of karaoke justice

with poor singing under the influence. (pounding)

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, just use the other bathroom please.

- And drinking too much tequila.

And dressing like the guy from Miami Vice.

(Elisabeth knocks) - Yo, you okay?

What's goin' on?

- [Miller] I'm okay, are you alone?

- Yeah, what are you doing in the bathroom?

- [Miller] I'm just, I'll let you in,

just promise not to freak out, okay?

- I'm coming in.

- [Miller] Just don't freak out.

- What is your deal? - Sh, sh, sh, sh, sh.

- What are you doing in the bathroom?

- It's, uh.

- Are you okay?

Babe, what's wrong?

Did you throw up?

Yeah, but no one was, oh.

(toilet flushing)

Do you want me to get you.

- No, no, no, no, no.

- Jesus Christ what the fuck is that?

Ew. - No, no, no,

don't touch it, don't touch it, just.

- What is it?

Is this a joke?

- Uh, no, no.

I don't know what it is, it's--

- You think this is funny.

This was her idea.

- Whose idea?

- This was my idea, I brought her here.

I'm such an idiot.

- What?

- Is there more planned,

is there like a skeleton

that's gonna pop out of the closet?

- Look, I don't know, I don't.

- Is that what you were whispering about?

Or was that just like, sweet nothings in Pippa's ear?

I don't think it's funny.

- Clearly, it's not funny,

I don't know what you're seeing with Pippa, and--

- You don't know what I'm seeing?

- Let's just backtrack that.

What am I seeing?

What do you think I should be seeing?

- Two old friends.

- Is that what you are?

- I think so.

Could we-- - I'm sorry, what?

You think so?

- I mean, I think we're still friends,

that's what I mean, but I didn't,

that's not what this is about.

Could we.

- You wanna focus on the face thing?

Yeah, let's deal with that.

It's disgusting. - Thank you, yes.

Yeah, exactly.

- And it's not funny.

(Miller sighs)

So you can tell her it didn't work, it's not funny.

- Like no one's a make up artist or any,

that's not what, I.

- Okay, so then who did it?

If it wasn't a joke. - I feel like,

we should ask them, maybe?

Maybe get 'em down here, or?

- Yeah, like field trip to the bathroom?

Like everyone come check out the face in the sink?

Hilarious.

I'll get a baggie.

- Thank you.

(door thuds)

(knuckle pops)

(Stanley sighs)

(ominous electronic music)

(door thuds)

- Where the hell did this come from?

And what is it?

- (scoffs) You are ridiculous.

- What are you talking about?

- I already know, Pippa, I know that it's a joke, okay?

And I really don't think it's funny.

- Joke, what are you, this isn't a joke, it's a face.

In the middle of-- - Please tell her to let it go

like it's not funny anymore.

- What is she going on about?

- I don't know, it's not a joke, it's not,

she didn't do whatever this is, I mean.

- I watched you, I've been here all night,

I know that you apparently get a kick

out of making me look like an idiot,

and that you want me to remember

that you still have your hooks into my boyfriend

or whatever this is, but this is disgusting,

and it's in very poor taste, okay?

- No, I have nothing to do with that.

- Did you know about this?

- I think we should call the police.

- And tell them what?

Someone put a face in the sink?

- Yes.

- It's not real.

It's something these two have cooked up

to make me look like a fool.

- God.

- Just eat it. - It looks real.

What?

- Someone has to eat it, and like just taste it,

and then you'll know.

- No one is going to eat it.

I think we really do need to call the police.

- I would like to just move on

if you two would just grow up and explain

that you thought it was gonna be funny,

and it didn't work out.

- Honey, we're not-- - Tell her that it wasn't us!

- Just give me a second.

I already said, it's not,

like no one's a makeup artist over here,

I don't know what the fuck that is,

we shouldn't call the police, okay?

Just, let's figure this out.

- So if it's not a practical joke, what's your explanation?

You're saying this is real?

- It seems real.

- And where did it come from?

- I don't.

Maybe the object has something to do with it?

- Oh my god here we go again with this fucking object, okay?

I told you not to touch it,

I told you it's bad ju ju to touch

other people's weird religious artifacts,

but you insisted on bringing it out

and parading it around in front of our friends,

and now you're trying to use that

to explain away this ridiculous prank that failed?

I don't like that fuckin' thing,

but that is not what caused this.

- Would you stop getting so angry at him?

Why are you lashing out like that?

- [Elisabeth] Excuse me?

- Maybe it was the object.

- Oh god, here we go again.

You two are ridiculous.

- I just thought maybe it was.

- Object or no object,

there is a fucking face in the middle of the table.

(Elisabeth scoffs)

- Whatever it was Mills and I didn't do it.

- [Elisabeth] Whatever it was Mills and I didn't do it.

- [Miller] What, okay, okay.

- Don't, I.

- Where were you, when you weren't feeling, um,

where'd you go?

- I went into the next room over there.

- [Miller] Did you go to the washroom?

- No.

- Anything else, Detective Miller?

(Miller sighs)

- I'm trying to figure it out, that's it.

- Well, if it is the object, then it's your fault

because you're the one that insisted on bringing it out.

- Stop blaming him for everything, you're not helping!

- You know what, I'm having a conversation,

and I don't need you to be a part of it, okay?

I wasn't talking to you.

I realize you love to interject yourself

where you're welcome, Pippa,

but I wasn't having a conversation with you.

I was talking to my partner.

- I was invited here.

- Well, I'm glad you could come,

it's been great fun, thank you.

Are you just gonna let her talk to me like that?

- Like what, you're being? - She's being what?

- No, you're being, he said.

- Oh god, you are in cahoots, it's fucking disgusting.

- No, we're not.

- You're not what?

Pippa, anything to add?

I'm talking to you.

- No.

- What?

- Why don't you just tell her?

- Just tell her what?

Just tell her what?

When?

When?

Huh?

- A long time ago.

- When? - A long time ago.

- When?

When?

It's a simple question, when?

- Four months ago.

(Elisabeth laughing)

Tell her!

A long time ago? (laughing)

- This is insane, fuck this, we're leaving.

Let's go, come on.

- Bye, that would be great, thanks!

- It's great, yeah, it's been great.

Thanks for telling her. - I hope I don't see you again

for a long time. - Let's go.

I'm sick of this.

- I don't think I can drive.

- What? - I can't drive.

- Oh no, no, no, no, no.

You are her ride.

- Not quite yet.

Sorry.

- Great, I guess I'm staying too, then.

- No, I really think it's best that you leave,

I think we can probably find some other way to get you home

if homie can't drive.

- Just hold on, just a second.

- Blizzard. - Okay, just hold on a second.

Maybe we should just like, we should just stick this out

and figure this out, I will.

- Oh, no.

- Hey, could we just take a minute?

Can we please take a minute.

- I can't hear you.

- I know you can fucking hear me.

- I can't hear you. - Can I please?

- No he's right, we should all stick together,

we should all stay here.

- And do what? - Figure this out, together.

- So you're saying this wasn't a joke?

- No!

- You really didn't do this.

- No!

How am I supposed to convince you?

- Well, you lied about fucking my partner,

so for all I know.

- I never lied. - We didn't fuck, okay?

That's not what, I wouldn't do that.

- [Elisabeth] Oh.

- You have to know I wouldn't do that.

(ominous electronic music)

- So where did it come from, then?

This thing.

- When I went to the bathroom, it wasn't there.

- [Elisabeth] I thought you said you didn't go the bathroom.

- I went to the bathroom after.

- I really think we should call the police.

Or at least cover it up.

If it's there, I can't stop looking at it,

and if I keep looking at it,

I'm gonna make myself sick.

- I don't.

I don't think we should touch it.

Uh, um.

I think that it would be best if Lola and Pippa and.

- [Blonde woman] Lizzy?

- Um I think that Lola and Pippa and.

- [Blonde woman] Sweetheart?

- I think that you should go home,

I think that you should go home now.

- No, we decided that it was all best to stay

because together, as a.

And we could just stay and figure it out together

because the group as a whole is greater than

us breaking up.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- All right.

You got any ideas?

You're the smart one. - Lizzy?

What the fuck is it? (sniffling)

(blonde woman gasping)

- Oh my god. - It kinda burns.

(Miller chuckles)

- I'm sorry.

(Miller laughing)

- [Stanley] And I thought it was cold outside.

So what's up?

- That's a huge question because so much has happened.

- All right.

- There's a face in the middle of the fucking table.

- Did kinda notice.

- And, I mean, 'cause Miller, he brought out this object

that was totally hypnotic.

- Ugh, it's this stupid thing he found in the attic,

I hate it.

It has nothing to do with this.

- I think they're connected.

- I think we should call the police.

- Yeah, and tell them what?

- That there's a face in the middle of the fucking table,

I know we've been over this,

but if it is not a joke, we need to do something about it.

- [Elisabeth] I just.

- And in all honesty, I may or may not need a hospital.

I have no idea what this is.

- I know.

- Okay, I'll give you,

that's something that looks like a face

in the middle of that table.

- Well. (chuckles) - It's totally a face.

- Bigger question, how many of these have you guys had?

- Yeah okay, we've been drinking,

but everyone says it's not a joke.

I mean, I thought it was a practical joke

that Pippa and Miller were playing, but. (sighs)

- And it's not? - Right, Liz?

It's not.

- Yeah, I'm willing to believe

that you didn't put it there,

but it seems like you can lie about a lot of things, so.

- I wasn't lying about the face.

And I wasn't lying about.

- Yeah, you missed a little more.

- All right.

How so?

- Um, apparently Pippa and Miller hooked up.

- What, come on, we kissed. - Four months ago.

- It wasn't a hook up.

- There's a difference between a hook up and kiss.

- Thank you, Stanley, thank you.

- Forgive me if I won't take your advice

on relationships, Stanley.

- Fair enough, but there is a difference.

I'd say it's kinda the difference

between a real face and whatever that is supposed to be.

Where did this thing come from?

- We found it in the sink.

I went to check on Mills in the bathroom,

and it was, ugh.

- How long have you been here?

- I just got here.

Well, here, but probably about 20 minutes ago.

- Where were you for the last 20 minutes?

- Well, I just let myself in.

I was taking a phone call, I went downstairs to the basement

I got rid of my jacket,

just finished up my phone call and came up.

- But we were in the basement doing karaoke.

We didn't.

- I didn't see you, didn't even hear you.

- [Elisabeth] Did you use the bathroom?

- No.

- Do you wanna see the object?

- No, no thank you.

- [Miller] It's over.

- [Stanley] What's over?

(ominous electronic music)

Dude, what's over?

- Huh? Uh, um.

The storm.

The storm's over.

- Oh, okay.

- Thank you.

- I have to say, this is probably a solid alternative to

whatever you have been drinking,

what with that and some weird object

apparently you pulled out of your attic.

- I don't think it's the booze

that's making us imagine the face.

- Well, whatever that is, it's there,

but whatever you're thinking about it,

I think you are imagining.

I mean, think about it.

You pull some weird story out of the attic,

and knowing him, inventing some crazy story behind it,

this thing shows up, no one's owning up to it,

and you're how many bottles deep?

Come on.

I'll tell you what this reminds me of, though.

- What?

- [Elisabeth] This is familiar to you?

- Only in a very vague sense.

Remember Mr. Burber's class?

Junior high? - English, yeah.

- Yeah, remember the poem? - What poem?

In Flanders Fields?

- No, that one I know. (Elisabeth scoffs)

We all had to recite that stupid thing, I mean,

every year he made every class do it.

I was thinking about this about a week ago,

and this just brought it right back to the forefront.

It was so weird, especially for junior high,

why did he have us doing that?

- How's it go?

- I'm trying to remember the name of it now.

Like, I remember learning it,

I remember everybody learned it,

and I don't even have one line from it.

It was, uh.

How did it start?

- Miles and miles. - Miles and miles.

- We journey downwards.

- Oh god. - Oh yeah, I remember.

- That's the one, that's the one, you remember this thing?

- Yeah. (Stanley laughs)

- I don't know the name either, though.

- None such thing, no such thing.

- That's it. - None such thing.

- Yeah.

- That was the one.

- Miles and miles the journey downward, looking.

(Stanley laughing)

Looking for the--

- Hidden place. - Yeah, the hidden place.

- I don't remember it. - Come on,

I bet you could, though.

- Journey downward. - You remember the name of it.

- We part curtains made of flesh.

- This is the thing, this is the thing.

- [Pippa] Oh my god.

- Do you think you could remember the whole thing, though?

- No, I don't remember it.

- I bet you could.

Okay, I'm gonna propose something crazy.

To go along with the crazy.

More of this, especially for me,

maybe a little bit more for you guys,

we try to remember that poem.

- No, that's fucking stupid.

- Come on, we all had to learn it.

It would drive me crazy that I know it,

and I can't remember a word of it,

but as you're saying it, it's all coming back.

I gotta hear the whole thing.

- [Elisabeth] It's weird, I don't.

- Yeah it's weird, any weirder than this?

Come on, it'll be a riot.

- [Elisabeth] I think we have to deal with this.

- Look, you've all been drinking, there's some weird object,

and now it's all gotten spooky all of a sudden.

Reel it back, down a few more, remember that poem.

- Yeah, let's do it.

- It'll cap the night, and it'll get us past all of this.

It'll be hysterical.

Plus, I'm genuinely curious to see

if any of us can remember the whole thing.

- Forget the creepy face by reliving the creepy poem?

- One cancels out the other.

- There's a face in the middle of the table.

- (chuckles) And there's a poem that won't leave my head.

There's nothing supernatural, someone's playin' a gag,

the sooner we get past this, the better.

Poetry karaoke, people. (clapping)

- Okay, one, I don't think that's an actual thing.

But yes.

To get away from and restart, yes.

- Agreed, agreed?

- Agreed.

- Are you in, away from creepy face?

- (sighs) I guess so.

- Come on.

- You are such a jackass.

- [Stanley] (laughs) I knew it, let's do it, let's do it.

- [Elisabeth] Whatever.

(ominous music)

- Miles and miles we journey downwards,

looking for the hidden place.

- We part curtains made of flesh, made of sinew.

We alter paths.

- But no such thing awaits us

beneath your ever-shifting face.

- Only currents, patterns, slight shifts and spurts.

(chuckles) Sorry.

(clears throat)

Only currents, patterns, slight shifts in.

- Slight shifts in space.

- Slight shifts in.

Currents, patterns, slight, mace?

Wait.

Currents, patterns, slight (buzzing),

shifts (buzzing) in (buzzing) space.

(dramatic electronic music)

Come on, guys.

It's me.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Come on, come on, come on, come on.

It's cold out here.

I don't know what that.

I don't know what that was.

I wouldn't hurt you.

Come on.

Guys, I'm freezing.

(door rattling)

Open the fucking door.

Open the fucking door.

(siren wailing)

Open the fucking door.

(haunting electronic music)

(wind whistling)

(person screaming)

(midtempo electronic music)
