How long was I under?

I lost count.

What! What?

I mean, it was a long time.

I got worried, it was so long.

(laughing) That's the whole point!

It was a really long time.

You should try.

Uh uh.

Fine, then I'm going again.

And if I try to come back up, push me under.

No.

Then follow me.

(ominous music)

(silence)

Boy: Hey!

Uh, do you wanna buy a song?

One for a dollar?

***

Got change for a ten?

No.

Well, then I guess you owe me ten songs, huh?

***

* O Holy Night...

Boy: * The stars...

* Chains shall He break

* For the slave is our brother

* And in His name all oppression shall cease *

* A thrill of hope...

You didn't come to bed.

No, I just really wanted to finish that piece.

You never come to bed.

We should have heard something by now.

Columbia, somewhere, I guess...

You know, something.

You'd move to New York.

We'd move to New York.

* ...O Holy Night

* It's not too late

* To come by my house

Hey, little dude.

You gonna miss me when I'm gone?

- Hi, Viv. - Hey.

Is there any coffee?

Black, no milk. You got it.

I already had it made. Ha. Better than sleep.

Thanks. It's very sweet of you.

You're welcome.

(laughs) Ah! Sorry.

Tomorrow's actually my last shift.

And then I'm driving to Denver right after Christmas. So--

Oh, you gonna have some snow for New Years?

Yeah. It'll be great.

You could, uh, come with me, if you want.

I don't know, I have room

Do not tempt me because I might take you up on it.

(laughs)

I hate walking into a bar and it smells like coffee.

What are you gonna do, whip up lattes next?

How 'bout I make you a real man's drink, Quinn?

You wouldn't like me when I drink.

I don't like you now.

I like you.

Well, I don't.

I like you a lot. So I'm just gonna kill you with kindness.

(laughs)

(humming - "Summertime")

Any word on grad school?

No, no word.

So Thana's stuck with you for a while.

Well, you know, if...

if I get in then we'll go together.

Quinn, dude, she barely leaves the house.

What makes you think she's gonna move to New York?

Once it's dead, it's better just to let it go.

Or else it gets bad real fast.

(music on stereo)

You thinking out here?

Smokin'... broodin'...

(chuckles) Well, can I, um, join you?

(coughs)

So you got somebody waiting for you in Denver?

Nope. (laughs) No. Just me.

I moved here 'cause I wanted something to happen

and I don't... I don't just want to be the person

that sits around somewhere where nothing's happening, so...

That's a pretty good reason to go.

I'm a little scared.

I'm really scared.

(laughs) Actually I, uh...

got you a Christmas thing... present.

Here it is. (laughs)

Something for you to remember me by.

You know you don't need a scholarship to leave here.

(music on stereo)

Viv...

No, I... I get it. I feel stupid.

I... I don't even smoke so... you know.

I know, you love your girlfriend.

Yeah.

(distant music on stereo)

* ...Ooh, but you

* You had to let me go

* That's why it's a sad...

Quinn: Thana...

* ...sad Christmas

* You're not here with me

* It's just a sad, sad Christmas *

* Why can't...

I won't let you go crazy. Promise.

Trust me.

I'll keep you safe.

***

* Jingle bells, jingle bells

* Oh, what a silent night, baby *

* Merry, merry Christmas, baby

Thana: I don't want this to end.

Let's make a promise.

Hm?

That no matter what, we'll follow each other.

I know what I want for Christmas.

Yeah, what?

Wait.

Hm?

I have something for you.

Now?

(giggles)

Nice box.

Is this real?

(scoffs) Where did you get this?

I want you to do something for me.

(chuckles)

I want you to put that in your mouth and pull the trigger.

(laughs) Are you kidding me?

Whoa, no, no, no, no, no.

(muffled) No problem.

Hey, hey. Honey, don't do that. Come on.

Okay, let me just check the thing. You know--

It's not loaded.

Okay, let me just check--

No, that's cheating. I want you to trust me.

***

(moaning)

Open your mouth.

Open your mouth. (giggles)

Wider.

It's okay.

(muffled protest)

Sh. No. Leave it in there.

See how good this is?

(sighing)

Now I want you to pull the trigger.

It's okay.

(breathing heavily)

I know you can do this.

I know you will do this.

***

I'm going to count down from three.

Uh...

Three...

two...

one.

Do it for me.

Operator: 9-1-1. What's your emergency?

9-1-1...

Ren: You are in deep shit, friend.

(gasping)

Lenny was pissed last night. Ready to fire your ass.

I... I didn't do it. I don't know, I don't know...

Didn't do it?

Dude, you bolted. I covered for you. Ren to the rescue.

I, uh...

You okay? Quinn?

(gasps) Yes, I'm just not... really awake yet.

It's kind of early for smoking up--

***

Come here.

(knock at door)

Shay: Hello?

Come on, Sis. Wake up.

We gotta pick out a gift for mom, remember?

Shay...

A card. Seriously?

I got you a fucking iPad.

What would you do if you found me?

Found you?

Yeah, like after a brain aneurysm. Dead...

but still warm.

I'd call 9-1-1?

Why? So they could rush me to the morgue before I got deader?

Use your imagination.

Oh...

That's sick.

Not for two consenting adults.

That's very sick.

(laughs) We could practice.

Hm.

***

I can see you breathing.

It's just a coma.

Ah...

(giggling)

(knock at door)

God damn.

Oh! Hey. I thought you were out.

I'm just feeling a little sick today, you know...

Yeah, well, don't breathe on me. Ha, ha.

So water pressure problem... it still weak?

No, everything's fine, you know, I just... No, it's--

Could be a leak.

Flood the basement, ruin my property. Great house.

Mr... Mr...

Loved living here--

Mr. Pearson, it's fine. Really, it's...

Mary wanted a bigger space.

Turns out she wanted more space from me. (laughs)

Still got the ring.

So, where's the little lady.

She's... she's not here--

How'd you end up snagging her anyway, huh? No offence,

but you're not exactly what I'd call an even match.

Quinn?

Uh... bar. We met at a... at a bar.

A few drinks always helps the cause, huh?

She found me passed out on the sidewalk.

I'd been drunk three days.

Lost my wallet, keys.

Pissed myself.

She took me home and she cleaned me up...

(door creaks)

Saved my life.

Florence Nightingale effect. Fell for her patient.

Maybe.

Better stay sick. Surest way to lose a nurse is to get well.

(loud thud)

Guess the little lady's home.

I should check on her.

Oh, God...

***

Hey, Quinn, you ever get paid for this stuff?

Uh, what?

The... art. You ever sell any?

No, not really.

Shocking.

Well, Quinn, I didn't see-- Oh! Hey.

You okay?

Yes.

Well, no leaks that I can find.

Probably a city pipe. They're old as Adam.

It's not just the hot water, is it? Cold water, too?

Fucker!

Jesus love me, I hate those things. God damn crawling turds.

Any more power outages? That damn breaker--

No, it's fine. It's fine.

Okay. Good. How's she?

She's... you know, she's... she's been better.

Your turn to play nurse, huh? You just call, Thana.

You need anything, I'll come a-runnin'. Poor girl.

***

Thana: Have I ever told you about my first boyfriend?

I love these stories.

(laughs) He was six.

He lived three houses down

and he told me that he could make a scorpion kill itself.

Asked me if I wanted to watch.

Oh, that's sweet.

So we got some lighter fluid from the garage

and made this circle.

And then he went under my mom's porch and caught a scorpion.

(laughing) A really big one...

And then we lit the circle on fire

and we dropped the scorpion right in the middle

and it ran from side to side.

And it was snapping at the flames and...

And then it went back to the centre and, with quick jabs,

it... it stabbed itself. And then...

kind of curled up just as the flames died down.

You know, I read about that. I thought it was a myth.

You know, worse than the scorpion was the beetle.

No stinger. No way out.

All it could do was wait for the flames.

I've never told anybody that before.

(fly buzzing)

(cell phone rings)

Oh, shit.

Quinn: Hello.

Hi. Um, hi, it's me. Um, it's Viv.

Hi. I'm just calling because, uh--

Quinn: (sigh) Viv--

Viv: I just wanted to apologize for last night.

I just... I don't want to come between you and Thana. And...

This is your part.

I shouldn't have even called. I just... I'm really sorry.

I just don't know what to do with her.

You don't know what to do with her?

Singer: * La, la, la, la, la, yeah

I can't hear anybody.

* La, la, la, la, la, la, la... *

Jesus, Viv. Pine much? Just go get him.

Tie him down and fuck him senseless.

Yeah, I don't think Thana would approve very much.

I wouldn't worry about that, that's way past over.

God damn, Quinn! Fuckin' no-show again.

Did anyone, like, call him or something?

Do you think he's okay?

Oh, I really don't know. I tell you what, why don't you check.

And if you see him tell him to go fuck himself, okay?

And... and if he can... if he can fuck himself,

if he can put his dick under his legs

and put it into his own anus, tell him to film it,

send it to me, if I like it, he has his job back.

Okay.

Are you gonna do that? Or am I gonna do that--

I'll... I'll do it. I'll do it.

Hey! It's okay. It's me. It's me.

She's... she's--

She's fine. She's fine!

No, no, she's fine. No, of course she's not... fine.

Have you called... called the ambulance?

Oh, no, no, no. You can't--

I'm gonna call them!

No. You can't--

For help! Please just get out of the--!

You can't call anybody!

Just stop! Just let me call somebody!

Listen to me!

Oh no. Oh.

Viv? Hey, Viv?

Are you all right? Hey. Hey, Viv?

I'm just having some trouble here

with, uh, making decisions, you know.

And, uh...

I don't want to stay some place

where nothing's happening.

I gotta make something happen. Huh?

(breathing heavily)

No, no, no, no, no.

No! No, I...

No, you don't understand.

I don't want to hurt anybody.

I just needed just a little bit of time.

Everything's gonna be okay.

Quinn? Wait--

I just needed a little bit of time

and I'm gonna get you outta here

and it'll all be over really soon--

Quinn, just look at me, please.

Maybe I'll go with you to Colorado.

Please, don't do this, Quinn. Please!

It's all just gonna disappear in smoke and ash

Got a little cold.

Quinn, you can let me go.

Please just let me go and I won't tell anybody. Please.

You need to eat.

I couldn't... do it. I couldn't burn her.

I mean, it's all my fault.

It really is, at least I think it is.

I just can't...

really remember and I don't know.

I mean, it's all... cloudy.

I, uh, figured you hadn't been sleeping

so I took the liberty of helping.

You're just going to get a little tired.

No, Quinn. Please, no.

Maybe she was right.

Maybe I should just follow her.

It's crazy what you'll do for love, huh?

You were getting old anyway.
