[bright piano music continues]

- [Adam] Some couples are college sweethearts,

or even high school sweethearts.

Some people meet on online dating websites.

eHarmony and stuff like that.

Some meet through friends.

Some, blind dates set up by their friends,

or they meet at some mutual event or establishment.

These are the common things.

But then there's those random out of the blue encounters

and the way those start, that's really something.

And me? Well, I just drive Uber.

It's a job that brings a lot of stories with it.

The people who've gotten in and out of my car,

I could probably write you a novel.

And don't get me wrong.

Some of those stories are hysterical.

But there's one that sticks with me.

Mainly because of how simple it is.

Basically, it's a boy-meets-girl story.

Nothing more, nothing less.

But this particular story had me working overtime,

and it started with bugs.

- Hello?

I don't know what to say.

I cannot tell you how sorry that I am that that happened.

I know it's my job. I've done it hundreds of times.

You know, I don't know what I thinking.

I don't know what happened.

You know, we were just moving pallets around a cooler

and we left one outside to make space temporarily,

and I just didn't...

Yeah, I totally understand.

So, could you let me know when they decide?

So they already made the call?

For how long?

Okay.

All right. Thanks.

[door creaks]

[door closes]

[bright piano music continues]

[bright piano music continues]

- Oh, hey! [chuckles]

Think you could help me out?

- Yeah. What's going on?

- Oh, are you working the grand opening?

Uh, your shirt. [chuckles]

I'm supposed to be there right now but, uh, yeah.

- Yeah, I was supposed to be there, too.

- I'm supposed to be there at nine, or maybe it was 10.

I don't remember exactly 'cause my phone died

and I left my charger at home and now this.

- What is it? A dead battery?

- I think so.

Probably.

I don't remember leaving anything on, though.

I've been inspecting it here

and the only thing I conclude is that there is the engine.

Um, I was just wondering if maybe you had a jump or, uh,

or would you mind giving me a ride to the store?

- Yeah, don't even bother going. It's off.

- It's off? - Yeah.

The store's not opening for a while, if ever, probably.

- You are from this district, yeah?

- Yeah. Store 565.

- Oh, 134. [chuckles]

- Brett, Produce Manager.

- Keely, Bakery Clerk. Bread. [chuckles]

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.

- Yeah, I've been out here for a couple days.

They're wrapping up construction, so I've been working.

Yeah, something happened. So...

- Huh. - The place is infested.

- Infested? - Yeah.

Like, there's no grand opening.

They're sending everyone back.

- Get outta here. They wouldn't!

They'd put us up in these hotels.

- I know. Um...

- Huh.

Do you have a cell phone I could use?

Would you mind?

- Yeah, I left it upstairs.

- [Keely] Oh.

- We can go, if you wanna use it.

- Is that cool? 'Cause mine's dead.

- Okay. Here, let's close this up.

- [Keely] Okay.

- Uh...

Here you go.

- Oh, [chuckles] thanks.

[Brett sighs]

Hello, Martha?

Yeah. I...

Oh.

Yeah. I, I see.

Wow. [chuckles]

Okay. Um...

Yeah. No, I was gonna call, but my phone's dead and, um...

No, no. No, no.

Oh, it's okay. Don't, don't worry about it.

I'll figure it out.

Yeah, I'll just see you next week, then. Okay?

All right. Bye.

Um... [chuckles]

Well, [chuckles] I stand corrected.

That was my manager and it turns out

the store is definitely closed.

Apparently one of the produce guys

left out the compost trash bin last night,

and the health department came this morning.

And it's, uh, it's bad.

It's, uh, it's really, really bad.

Yeah. We're definitely not going into work.

- No.

- Anyways, you know, thanks.

Wait a second.

Wait.

You were working in the produce department.

Do you know what happened? Do you know who did this?

- Yeah, I do.

- You do? [chuckles]

I bet you anything it was one of those idiot new hires.

Like, those guys always screw everything up!

- Yeah, um...

[Brett sighs]

Actually, it was me.

- Oh.

Crap, dude. I...

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean anything by the idiot thing.

I, I...

- No. Hey, hey, no offense taken.

When I think about it, like, it was a really

idiotic thing for me to do, so I deserve it.

- Hey, you know what?

She didn't say what the store was infested with.

Do you know?

- Yeah.

Bugs.

- Bugs?

Like, what kind of bugs?

- They didn't say.

- Man, I really wanna know.

- Ah, what does it matter? I just got suspended.

My store director called me.

They know it was me who left the bins out.

- [Keely] Oh.

- I don't know how this could have happened.

You know, I've done it every other day at my store.

I've done it thousands of times! [sighs]

- Hey, look at the bright side. Uh... [chuckles]

These rooms are paid for.

Two-day vacation.

Yay! [chuckles]

- [Brett] Well, I gotta get outta here. I'm...

I'm about to lose my job. I'm probably gonna get fired.

So, I need to get outta here and go home.

- Who are you calling?

- Well, I gotta call the train station,

because I gotta figure out

if I can get my tickets exchanged for today.

- Really? The train?

I didn't think people took those anymore. [chuckles]

- Oh, yeah. I do.

- It's cool. [gentle acoustic music]

[Keely sighs]

Um...

Well, hey, you know what?

Thank you so much for letting me use your phone.

- Yeah, yeah, no problem. My pleasure.

- Yeah, yeah. Really nice to meet you.

- [Brett] Yeah, not a problem.

- Hey.

Uh... [chuckles]

What I wanna say, you know, even if you found a train

going back your way right now, like, what are you gonna do?

You're suspended.

I mean, you can't go into work for a little bit, right?

Breakfast? [chuckles]

I'll pay for an Uber.

- Uh, don't you have like your car all broken down?

Don't you have to, like, do something about that?

- Oh, no, no. It's, it's fine.

I'll deal with it later.

- We can split it. - No, no.

Don't worry about it.

I've got it. You've had a tough morning and, um...

You know what I do need, though, is a charger.

Do you have a phone charger I can use?

- [Adam] So, this is where I come in.

They were my first call of the day.

She was chatty. Him, not so much.

It was quite obvious that he was bothered by something.

Her? - Okay, thanks.

- [Adam] Well, we'll get there.

- It's gonna be okay. Don't worry.

- Yeah, it's really easy for you to say.

[Keely sighs]

- Don't assume that statement.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

- I don't mean to pry in on this work thing

you got going on, but are you two gonna be bouncing

around town for the next few days?

- No, not really. - Perhaps.

- Well, I have a small driving business

I do outside of Uber, so,

if you'd like to just call me directly.

Shoop.

- "Adam Thompson."

Nice to meet you, Adam.

I'm Keely.

- Hey, how's it going, Adam?

- This is Brett.

- [Adam] I wanted to hear more about this one, for sure.

- [Keely] So, how many codes are there?

- [Brett] A couple hundred.

- And you know every single one of them?

Every fruit and vegetable?

- Yeah. Pretty much.

- Huh.

Potato.

- What kind? [Keely laughs]

- Brown.

- 40-72.

- Red potato.

- 40-73.

- Gold potato?

- 40-83.

- Broccoli.

- 40-60.

- [Keely] Cantaloupe?

- 40-50.

- Celery?

- 40-70.

- Lettuce.

- Iceberg. 40-61.

Red leaf. 40-75.

Green leaf. 40-76.

And Romaine. 46-40.

- Wow.

Never knew.

[Keely chuckles] - It's nothing, really.

- Mm. That's a lot to memorize.

- I'm pretty sure that you got some stuff memorized, too.

Random little things that you gotta do, right?

- Yeah, but not like that.

I mean, I'm a little scatterbrained sometimes, so, you know,

I have a list in the back room

to remind me of certain things.

- Honestly, I think you do gotta be a little scatterbrained

to work for this company.

- Oh, my God. I think that every day!

Bananas!

- 40-11.

- Organic bananas.

- With organic things, you just put a nine in front of it.

So, for example. - What?

- 9-40-11 or 9-40-62 or 9-40-80.

- That's interesting.

- Not really.

- Are you always so negative, man?

- Who, me? [scoffs] Yeah, right.

- I mean, think positively here.

We have a free hotel room for two nights.

- It's a Motel Six.

- The Motel Six has a pool. It'll be fun.

- Oh-ho, a Motel Six pool.

Yeah, you know what happens in those?

People float, with their face down.

- You are just the biggest bundle of joy I have ever met.

- You can't blame me for being upset about me losing my job.

- Look, [sighs] it was an honest mistake.

You had a delivery coming in.

You had to make temporary floor space.

So, you left the rotten food out by accident.

That's all it is. Simple mistake.

- I just can't believe that the health department

had to come in, right then and there.

What the heck?

- That's just bad timing, man.

- The union's not gonna get my back.

There's no way that they're gonna help me with this.

Absolutely no way.

- They will. They have to.

- Yeah, right.

It's way too big for them. They're not gonna help.

- List of reasons you can be fired. Okay?

Theft.

You don't seem like the kind of guy

that's gonna steal a bag of Skittles.

Violence upon a fellow coworker, or a customer.

Let's face it. You don't seem like the violent type.

I don't see ya getting into any kind of brawls anytime soon.

So, look, you're good, man.

- The thing is,

I was talking to the people at the main office.

They were considering me for Produce Coordinator.

That would've put me in charge of 25 stores

in all their produce departments.

- Wow.

[Keely claps]

- Ladies and gentlemen!

We have got a regular badass in our presence.

[chuckles] Come on.

Lighten up.

Okay.

Look, I don't know your story.

All I know is that you are a produce manager

who works full-time and I'm just a part-time bakery clerk

who used to be full-time.

You know what? I had to get away from all that, man.

- You used to be full-time.

What happened?

- I left out a loaf of bread and it cost my store millions.

[giggles] Kidding.

I stepped down.

- Why did you step down?

- Personal reasons.

Um...

Do you live near your store?

- Yeah, I do, actually. I live pretty close.

I ride my bike on most days. What about you?

- That's awesome. Yeah, yeah, same here.

You know, I walk to work most days. Saves money on gas.

Hey, look, I know that money's good and everything,

and you just seem like the kind of guy who cares

so much about your job.

I'm sure any other company would be happy to have you.

I mean, what's so great

about working for a grocery store anyways?

- Well, the medical benefits, for one.

If I lose my job, I'm gonna lose those.

[Brett sighs]

My mother's in early stages of dementia.

- Oh, Brett. - Yeah.

I used to have some roommates and stuff, but,

yeah, I had to move my mother in, a couple years back.

I have to be prepared at all times for anything.

And these diseases, man, they're so expensive.

It's ridiculous.

So, if I lose my job, I lose my insurance.

My mom has no insurance. She's on mine.

Do you get it?

- Yeah. I, I do.

It all makes sense.

I'm so sorry, Brett. That's horrible.

- It's not your fault. It's okay.

- Hey. You know what I was thinking about?

- What?

- What kind of bugs they're infested with over there.

- What? [Keely giggles]

- Cockroaches!

- Cockroaches.

- It's always cockroaches, right?

- Who cares about that? And, and...

And what do you mean, it's always cockroaches?

- Think about the movies and TV.

It's always the bug of choice.

They're just disgusting and they're just like...

- Oh, yeah. "The bug of choice."

It's not a thing.

- Yes, it is. - No, it's not.

- Yes, it is! - No, it's not.

- Yes, it is.

- Okay. Enough with the bugs already.

- Okay.

You must have cared about it a little bit, though, because

you said, "What do you mean, it's always cockroaches?"

That, right there, implies interest.

- You're very, uh-

- Ooh, what? I wanna know what you're gonna say.

- You're very perky.

- Ooh. Thank you.

I, I try, you know? It suits me.

Just like I guess your, uh, stick-in-the-mudness suits you.

- Whatever. Thanks.

So, when you're not perky, how do you get back to perky?

- You know what? I am glad you asked, sir.

You're never gonna believe this.

I had a custom bumper sticker made that said,

"Honk if you think I'm sexy."

So, you know, when I'm feeling down,

I'll just park myself in front of a green light

and sit there, until I'm feeling better about myself.

[Brett laughs]

- [Brett] That's good.

- Hey!

Genuine laughter!

It looks good on you, man!

You know what? I just had a thought.

I noticed there was a bowling alley here in the area,

and that we should go!

It would be a lot of fun.

- You wanna go bowling?

- Who doesn't wanna go bowling?

[car doors open]

- Thanks again, Adam. - Hey, no problem.

- Man, I don't know about spending money

on bowling right now.

- [chuckles] Relax, man.

I still got a job. I got ya.

- [Adam] Bowling at 10:30 AM.

This is where I figured the connection really started.

Total opposites, as it would seem.

Age-old story, really.

Opposites attract.

But how opposite were they, really?

- Ooh. Easy now.

[Keely laughs]

- Okay, so you are 10.

- Nice. Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much.

Ooh, these are slippery.

- Are you any good at this?

- [Keely] Oh, God, no. Are you?

- I did a beer style rec league once, and yeah,

that really was not my thing.

- Ah. So, I stand a chance then.

- You are probably the heavy favorite here.

- What, what is this?

- Did I spell your name wrong?

- No, it's just Brett and Keely?

It's just so basic.

Like, don't you wanna do something cool, like Hot Shot or...

- Sure, yeah, I'm down. - Badass, or-

- So, who do you wanna be?

- Clearly, you're Point Dexter.

- Whatever. [Keely laughs]

- [Keely] So, what happened with the league?

Like, what was wrong with it?

- It was like really competitive,

for a beer style rec league.

Some of the guys, they would get so pissed off,

if the game didn't go their way.

And then the girls? Yeah, they'd get pissed off, too.

It was crazy.

- Like, what would happen?

- It was wacky. There was this one guy.

He'd just do this under the leg shot.

- What? - Yeah.

- Get out! Show me. - You wanna see it?

- Yeah! - All right.

Well, anyways, this guy, he'd go like this.

And he'd throw it between his legs.

- Get outta town!

- Yeah.

Yeah, so if he didn't get a strike,

if he only got like seven or eight pins, he'd come back,

and he'd be like, "Donkey balls!"

- What? - Donkey balls.

- Donkey balls? [laughs]

That's like a new one on me.

- Yeah, but needless to say, it got old after a while.

- I hear that. Well, show me your game, dude.

- All right. Here I go.

[ball thumps]

[pin clatters]

- [Keely] A gentleman's one.

- Oh, yeah, that's a real sophisticated way

for you to put it.

So, do you ever go to those bowling nights

that the company had a couple years back?

- God, no. I remember them.

They just weren't my thing, you know?

'Cause I work with a bunch of idiots

and don't really wanna see 'em outside of work, you know?

- That's right. Idiots.

Just like me, right?

[ball thumps]

- That's not what I meant.

Like, look, what happened with you,

that's an honest mistake.

It doesn't matter how big of a mistake.

That doesn't make you an idiot, you know?

Besides, this is just a grocery store, and...

I gotta tell you who the real idiots are.

They're in my department, okay?

Like, sometimes, I don't think they know

their ass from their elbow.

Especially the closers. They're the worst.

Like, nothing gets done in the morning.

Do you have the same problem?

- Yeah, yeah, definitely. - Yeah, it's awful.

- That's so true.

All right. You're up.

- Oh, yeah. I guess it is my turn, huh?

All right.

You're about to see the wonder extraordinaire.

[ball thumps]

[pins clatter]

- Oh, nicely done!

What the heck? - Thank you!

- What, so did he pretend it was the people

in your department down there?

What the heck? [Keely laughs]

- Exactly. There you go.

That's how you get it done.

- Well, they must drive you nuts.

- Well, I mean, you know,

they can be annoying and everything,

but like, in the end, it's just a grocery store, right?

Like, I might get frustrated

and think they're idiots, from time to time,

and then vent about it, like I just did to you,

but like, that's human nature, you know?

Like, I don't mean anything by it.

They're good people and all. So...

Look, I guess the point I'm trying to make is, like,

we're not NASA scientists here,

trying to put someone on another planet.

Like, if we forget something on our order, or you know,

out a hazelnut cookies for a day, nobody goes hungry.

- I don't know.

I don't know that that's the way that I would look at it.

[Keely chuckles]

- I'd say that's the clearest way of looking at it.

We put food on a shelf and people take it.

All there is to it.

[ball thumps]

[pin clatters]

Woo! [laughs]

- I'm beginning to think

that you hustled me on your skill level.

What the heck? [Keely laughs]

- Could be. Could be.

Poker face here.

[both chuckle]

- So, like, do you remember those days

when we were "essential workers"?

- Oh, my God. Yes.

Years and years of being worker bees and then, you know,

then for a few months, like our store's something

out of a third world country.

We're essential. Heroes, even.

- Oh, yeah. Those were the days.

[Keely giggles]

- You know, I mean, it was kind of cool in the moment,

but I guess I'd have to say I'm pretty glad that's over.

[phone vibrates]

I mean, um, I don't know, though. I see your point, man.

Like, how quickly they forget. [phone vibrates]

You gonna take that, or...

- Nah.

- Hey, let me ask you something.

You, like, talk about work an awful lot.

I mean, you don't seem to let things go very easily, huh?

- I'm about to be fired.

- Okay.

Totally recognize that, man. I get it.

Whole thing with your mom, I understand too, but,

I mean, look around you.

Free vacation.

I mean, you can't do anything about that stuff right now.

So, just try to enjoy this time.

I don't know. Um...

Okay.

Okay.

May seem a little cliche,

but what do you like to do for fun?

- I don't know.

[Brett grunts]

[ball thumps]

[Keely sighs]

- Clearly not go bowling.

- I don't know. I couldn't say.

- What?

You couldn't say?

Oh, come on.

Are you telling me that you're so wrapped up in your work,

you don't do anything for fun?

- Well, I don't know. It's...

I'm gonna have a lot of free time on my hands

coming up, aren't I?

- Would that really be so bad?

- Well...

Between working full time, between taking care of my mom,

there's not really a lot of time for hobbies, so...

- Yeah. Well, look, man.

You're a produce manager.

It's decent money and I'm sure you do well for yourself

and have, you know, funds saved up.

But [sighs] look, if they fire you,

just go to another grocery company.

You'll still earn benefits,

even if you're not working full time

and you seem like a model employee.

I'm sure you'll rise to the top in no time.

- It's that simple, huh?

[Keely chuckles]

- It doesn't seem that hard.

I mean, why sit around and be all mopey and stressed out

and just, like, go live your life,

and whatever happens, happens.

[Brett chuckles]

Just live a little, dork!

You're up.

- Here we go.

[gentle acoustic music]

All right.

[ball thumps]

[pins clatter]

- Oh, my God! [giggles]

You did a great job there. [laughs]

See? That's what I'm talking about. [chuckles]

[gentle acoustic music continues]

- So, to pose the same question to you.

- [Keely] Mm-hm?

- What do you like to do for fun?

- Oh. Well, a little bit of everything, you know?

I like to go out with friends.

We go to the movies, go to dinner, concerts.

Oh. Got a little dog I play with, half the day.

- Nice. - Yeah.

- So, is there any men in your life?

- Um...

No husband, no boyfriend, you know? [chuckles]

What about you?

- No husband, no boyfriend.

And no, um, wife or girlfriend, for that matter.

[Keely chuckles]

- Good one. That's a good joke.

Glad to know you're capable of those.

- Yeah. Well, your bumper sticker joke got me going.

- Well, actually that's something I did once.

I feel like I've...

I've got some shit going on in my life.

Like, things are like really messed up, you know?

And, um...

I don't know, but you know, they're getting better and...

I, um, used to be an addict.

Yeah. Like, I was pretty bad.

I was, um, addicted to the hokey-pokey.

But I turned myself around?

[Keely chuckles]

I'm good now.

- [Brett] Oh.

Are you? - Yeah!

Look, look, totally clean.

- Oh. [both chuckle]

That's good to know.

See, I wish I could do stuff like that.

Like, I wish I could just like spit out quips and...

You're right. You're so right.

Like here I am, just all stressed out and, um,

I just feel like my life has had just "check engine" light,

and it's just going off, my whole life.

And I'm totally ignoring it. [chuckles]

- Hey. Good "check engine" quip.

But you know what?

Maybe it's time to see a mechanic.

- Well, that's the truth, unfortunately.

Quips and quotes not gonna get you anywhere.

- Hm. And deep philosophical sayings will?

- Mm, yeah. You get a better chance.

- Lay one on me.

- Before you speak, listen.

[Keely claps]

- Wow.

How far did you have to dig for that one?

[Brett chuckles]

- Uh...

A couple feet, I'd say. - Okay.

Well, before you act, think.

See that one there was right on the surface.

Like, no digging involved.

- Yeah. [Keely chuckles]

Before you give up, try.

- Before you take a dump, make sure there's toilet paper.

- [laughs] Yes.

I love toilet humor.

[Keely chuckles]

- What the hell are we even talking about here?

- I don't know. You said to lay one on you.

What the heck?

- Yeah, well, I thought we were going deep here, man.

Not like, "Ooh, before you speak, listen", you know?

- Well, whatever. That's the best I got, okay?

- All right. Fair enough.

- I don't know, Keely.

Maybe deep down inside, I didn't really believe

that I'd still be working here after 15 years.

And like my dad, he always aimed high,

and things really didn't work out for him.

And I just didn't think I'd still be working here.

It was supposed to be a temporary thing, you know?

I don't know. It's just...

Believe it or not, I was that guy.

15 years ago, that was me.

The guy that would be like, "Nothing's impossible."

- Ah. - Yeah.

- Oh, yes. I've heard that one before.

"Nothing's impossible", you know?

Well, I've had several days where I've done nothing

and I'm here to tell you, it's very possible.

[both chuckle]

That's cool, though. I mean...

Do you have a goal or something?

- No. [chuckles]

Not really a goal, but yeah, I had a thought.

- A thought?

- Me and Luke, my buddy from college,

we were supposed to open up a bait and tackle shop

in the Bay Area.

- No way! - Yeah.

- You like fishing?

- Yeah, yeah, I like- - That's, that's-

- Yeah, I like fishing.

- I mean, I can't believe that.

It's like, you actually like something.

- Yeah. [Keely chuckles]

Not only do I like fishing, but I also really like hockey.

- Get outta town.

See, now we're getting somewhere.

Like, do you go fishing often, or...

- Yeah, so there's this pier like right by my place.

I go there all the time.

- Really? - Yeah.

- So, where was that answer, when I was asking about fun?

[Keely chuckles]

I mean, it's cool, man. You got a thing!

- Yeah, I got a couple things. - Yeah.

- Yeah.

- So, what happened with all of that?

- So, Luke's uncle was supposed to back us in the whole

like, business side of everything and-

- Okay.

- Yeah, it just kinda fizzled out.

It was this building.

It looked like a hut.

And it was right along the marina, right along the beach,

and it was right in the heart of the entire beach crowd.

This place was so perfect.

And I guess Luke's uncle just put things into perspective.

- Put what into perspective?

- Well, me and Luke were 21 years old at the time.

So, I mean, we were even barely old enough to drink.

And his uncle was supposed to put some

serious money into it, so the bitch of it was that

it lingered, it didn't go away right away.

I mean, his uncle was...

He didn't tell us no, straight out,

and me and Luke were so excited.

Then one day, he's just out and it's gone,

and then it's just gone.

And then, yes, me and Luke,

I still talk to him every once in a while.

I mean, we're not like super close,

but there's like no bad blood between us.

Like, we're good.

But we just both went our own separate ways.

You know how that goes.

- Yeah.

I hear you. That's rough.

Well, uh, might as well do lunch, yeah?

- Yes.

I'm hungry.

- Hm.

- Okay.

Hot dog. Hot dog.

A hot dog. Another hot dog.

Geez, isn't this supposed to be some kind of pizza place?

There's just like hot dogs all over the top of the menu.

- I don't know. I was just noticing this.

Like, I've never seen so many hot dog choices on one menu.

It's weird.

- Oh, my God.

Yeah, okay. Look, there's not even any descriptions.

It's just the name of each hot dog.

Now, this!

This makes me nervous. [Keely laughs]

- All right, look, look.

"Hot dog". Fine.

"Chili dog". Okay.

"Kettle dog"?

- Yeah. What the hell's a kettle dog?

- Probably comes with kettle chips.

- A storm dog. Really? [Keely laughs]

- That sounds intense.

- And a bologna dog. Okay.

- Hot dog in bologna form, I assume.

- Yeah, well, that does make sense.

- Mm. That sounds gross.

- [Adam] You ever just talk with someone,

about nothing in particular?

Just mindless conversation.

Most people are too busy for that.

But you'd be surprised at what it can bring out,

in some people.

- Hey, that would've went in.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!

- You're not very good at this.

[Keely chuckles]

It's that easy.

- Yeah, you've got a better leverage here.

Look, this is like a...

There, see? - Finally.

Whatever.

- Oh. [Keely laughs]

- Done with these? - Yeah.

- Okay. No, but think about it.

A hot dog wouldn't know the difference.

- [Brett] It's a hot dog.

- And it probably thinks it's a sandwich.

- It's a hot dog.

- It's meat, wedged between two buns, which is bread.

Brett, a hot dog thinks it's a sandwich.

- Okay, can we get another for the lady here?

Geez. Enough with the hot dog philosophy.

[Keely laughs]

- Well, what about your storm dog? Was it all stormy?

- Oh, was your kettle dog all kettley?

- Mm. It was the kettliest.

- You know that these are just

hot dogs with different names?

- Yes. Yes, they were.

- So, what the hell were we talking about,

before this hotdog nonsense?

- We've been doing like 30 minutes here on hot dogs.

- I know. I've been timing it.

- Mm! Why am I not surprised?

Wait, seriously, I'm gonna be at work next week,

continuously thinking and talking to myself about hot dogs.

- Have you ever been at work

and you just get caught talking to yourself by a customer?

- Oh, my god. Every day.

And I'm not kidding about that.

Like, they give me this strange look and I'm like,

"Oh, you know, just talking to the spirits within",

or some weird-ass thing like that.

And then they just slowly back away.

- Yeah. I would, too. [Keely chuckles]

Just kidding. I wouldn't.

- Would you? - Nah.

I'd probably just- - Maybe.

You'd be intrigued, wouldn't you?

- [Brett] Yeah. Probably.

[gentle acoustic music]

This beats work, right?

- [Brett] Eh, it's not really as productive.

- Come on, man! [chuckles] - What?

- This is a perfect example of time well wasted!

- "Time well wasted"? Okay.

- Yeah, yeah.

Oh, okay. Look.

We started off this morning today as total strangers, right?

I mean, granted we do work for the same company,

but you know, alas, more or less strangers,

and here we are, sitting together at a bar,

having great conversation as if we're best friends.

- Yeah, that's- - Yeah.

- I like it. That's so true.

- Yeah, this is a perfect example

of time well wasted, you know?

Under the right circumstances.

- I like that. - It's amazing.

- I love it. - Yeah.

Besides, time doesn't really exist, anyhow.

- Oh, boy. So how is that?

- All right.

So, clocks exist, right?

But time?

Now, time is a construct we've all agreed upon, right?

Like we've taken matter and space and distance,

and in this instance, it's the earth's rotation, right?

And we've, you know, broken it into segments

and just given it labels, yeah.

- Yeah, that's deep. - Mm-hm.

- I mean, you know, don't get me wrong.

It has its uses, but I mean,

it's kind of crazy that we're wired

to live our lives around this thing, this construct,

you know, that we've all agreed upon

that doesn't even exist, you know?

- Made me like, "Whoa."

[Keely chuckles]

- It's truth, right?

- Yeah. [Keely giggles]

[Keely sighs]

- I do seriously think about moments of wasted time.

Like little moments.

Like, for example, my dog.

He will chase his tail for 10 minutes

and I watch and I'm like,

"How can he be that entertained for 10 minutes?"

And then I realize I was just watching some animal

chase his tail for 10 minutes.

- Where do you come up with this stuff?

- Oh, I don't know.

It's just like random stuff Brandon and I would think of,

or see on the internet.

- Who?

- Um...

- You know what, Keely? Don't even worry about it.

It's fine. It's not any of my business.

- It's okay. He's, um...

- Look, it's...

Don't even...

We're coworkers, we're having drinks.

We're at a bowling alley. It's fine, Keely.

It's like, don't even worry about it. It's cool.

- He's my husband.

We're not together anymore. You're fine.

Hey. Check, please?

[brooding music]

[brooding music continues]

- Hey. Look, Keely.

I didn't mean to pry. I'm sorry.

- You didn't pry.

- Hey, look, if you don't wanna...

Look, if you don't wanna talk about it,

you didn't say anything about him.

Let's just go back to that.

I want to have fun with you.

This is the most fun I've had in a while.

- I should, though.

Talk about him.

Everyone says I should.

- [Brett] Okay. Who is everyone?

- I don't know.

Everyone's everyone. Everyone who knew him.

- Who knew him?

- I'm... [sighs]

Not divorced.

- Yeah, I was wondering about that,

because I don't even see a ring on either finger, so...

- He's, um...

Well, he died. So...

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I-

- Yeah. No, no, no, it's cool, man.

I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're sorry. It's tough.

It's, uh, tough to know what to say, you know?

I never knew what to say.

Not that I know a lot of people that have had

someone up and die on them and everything.

I guess when the, um, situation came up,

I never knew the right thing to say and

I don't think anybody does.

So, I guess that's why you just say, "I'm sorry."

- How long ago did this happen?

- Just over four years ago.

- So, it's still fresh?

- [Keely] Yeah, it's somewhat, I'd say, yeah.

- How long were you guys married?

- [Keely] Six years, exactly.

- Do you want me to cool it with the questions?

- No, it's cool, like, I wanted to talk about it

and part of talking about it is,

you know, answering questions.

I'll let you know when I reach my limit, okay?

- Okay, so six years.

- And dating, three before that.

- [Brett] So, was he your college sweetheart?

- Yeah, you know it.

We were friends for a while,

and then started dating after that.

- How did you guys meet?

- Hockey game, actually.

- Okay. Hockey fan, too, eh?

[Keely chuckles]

- Not me. He was.

I got dragged along with some friends to a CSUN game

and one thing led to another and,

you know, he and I became us.

- That simple, huh?

- [Keely] Most perfect things are.

- Yeah. Now I can see why you took that demotion.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stepped down. Not demoted.

I wasn't suspended for infesting my store with bugs.

- Okay, that...

Right. Sorry.

- Yeah, you know, it just, it had to be done.

I mean, it was just a lot to take in at the time and...

- So, can I ask, like-

- How'd he die? - Yeah.

- Um...

- Would that bring you to your limit?

- No.

- So, what happened?

[traffic hums] [birds chirp]

- Well, he was an electrician

for a telecommunication company.

And, um...

I guess I was naive in thinking

that it wasn't a dangerous job and all.

You know, 'cause one day he was in someone's backyard,

up on the pole and, um...

You know, they wear these safety harnesses when they climb.

Um... [somber music]

Well, the harness failed and he fell,

from about three stories up and hit the backyard fence,

and, you know, that was it.

Stupid thing, really.

- Keely.

That's awful.

It's horrible.

- I mean, I guess it was.

I'd have to say it was like the worst time.

- Yeah.

[birds chirp]

- So, how'd I do?

- How did you do with what?

- Showing my feelings?

- Showing your feelings?

- So...

The obvious thing that everybody told me was, you know,

I should go see a therapist after this all happened.

I did.

And so, you know, I just told you my husband died

and I've had this horrible, tragic thing in my life,

and I guess I just really wanna know what your thoughts are.

- You want my thoughts?

- Yeah.

Just like on everything.

You know, me and...

- You're good. You're, you're...

You're fine. You're good.

- Okay, Brett. Just...

Pretend for a second you're a shrink, okay?

- Keely, come on. That's such a deep question.

Like, no one's ever asked me a question like that before.

Like, it's gonna be weird to answer that.

- Oh, so then I'll take your unprofessional opinion now.

- So...

Your husband.

- Brandon.

- Brandon.

So, Brandon died.

And it hit you really hard, which is totally understandable.

You kept on going. That didn't shut you down.

You kept on going with life.

And it changed you. It changed...

So, like, you must have, like...

You've developed a shell.

Now it totally makes sense.

Now I know why you're so spirited and outgoing,

and so random and spontaneous,

'cause that's what you use to be happy, you know?

Hey, it was my, like if it was my guess,

I'd just say that you were probably a little bit closer

to my speed before it happened.

- Your speed?

- Yeah, like you had real problems.

Like, you were dealing with the real world, right?

- Are you suggesting I don't live in the real world anymore?

- No.

No, like, no, you live in the real world.

This is the real world here, but I mean, you just, like,

you, you don't look at things the same.

Hey, Keely?

Stop.

Hey. Hey, look, I'm just trying to take a guess!

You told me to take a guess!

- Oh, you're quite the guesser, aren't ya?

- Okay, I'm sorry.

- You're right, okay? You're right.

I didn't mean to have a moment there just now, okay?

It's just a lot to talk about.

- It's fine. It's okay.

Like, you're allowed to have moments. It's fine.

Like, you're dealing with some crazy stuff right now.

And it's okay. Like, let things off your chest.

Like the old saying goes, it's fine.

Are you feeling better?

Do you feel a little better after doing that?

- Maybe a little.

- Good. Thank God.

[Keely chuckles]

- You know what's crazy?

- [Brett] What?

- It's just like the last four years,

everybody's been telling me, "Oh, you should go to therapy"

and I've just always been against it because I'm kinda like,

you know, I don't need some fake doctor telling me

how to feel about my problems and everything, you know?

- Well, Keely, like, all these problems

that you're dealing with, like, they're not normal problems.

It's okay. - You know what I mean.

It's like, how would you know how I feel?

Like how many therapists on the planet

have had a spouse die on them?

I mean, all they know is what's written in the books, right?

And it's supposed to be like a safe space,

and that's the point and all.

You know, you can go and talk to someone without judgment

and they wouldn't know him and-

- Yeah.

- It's just kind of...

I've never been able to talk to some stranger

about my husband dying.

- Really? Are you sure about that? [chuckles]

- [Keely] [chuckles] And yet I just did.

- [Brett] I know. Are you feeling better?

- Thank you, Doctor. I believe I am.

- So, are you gonna start going?

- [Keely] What? To therapy?

- Yeah.

- I don't know. Maybe.

Man, we were gonna buy a house, you know?

We started looking and, and then life.

- Oh, yeah, life.

Oh, yeah, I know all about that. It can be a total bitch!

- [chuckles] That it can be.

You graduate from high school, you make all these plans

and if you're anything like me, you wanna make 'em unique.

- Unique. Let's do it.

I'm down. The road less traveled, let's go!

- You know, I've been down the road less traveled,

and um, I feel like I got lost

and couldn't find my way off of it and...

You know, Google Maps isn't gonna help you with that one.

I don't know, man. It's just...

I always kinda felt like Brandon and I

had something special, you know?

- You guys did have something special.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Getting married, buying a house.

Like, those things are normal.

What about kids? Were you guys thinking about having kids?

- Um...

You know what? That's my limit.

- [Brett] Oh.

My bad. I'm sorry, Keely.

[Adam chuckles] [car doors open]

- Hey, you too.

[car doors slam]

Uh, back to the hotel?

Two simple people,

both with problems, issues.

Same as all of us.

- Um...

No.

I don't think so.

- Okay. Then where to?

Two people you wouldn't be able to point out in a crowd.

- Surprise us, man. [Keely chuckles]

- Yeah, that sounds good. [gentle acoustic music]

- [Adam] And here they were, falling for each other.

I gotta say, I was glad I gave 'em my personal card.

- [Brett] Crazy.

Step up. [Keely sighs]

- That's awesome.

- Yeah.

- [sighs] God, I haven't done this in years.

- Yeah. It's not as hard as it looks.

- Really?

- No, it really is as hard as it looks.

- Oh, no.

- I thought you said that Brandon was a hockey fan.

He didn't teach you how to skate?

- Yeah.

A fan. Not a player.

- Okay. Fair enough.

- You better not let me fall.

Like that?

- No, here.

So, you're gonna make sure it's really tight

and then you're gonna want to do it around the back.

- Ah!

That's good. That's good.

- Yeah. All right, so-

- Hey, you're like a regular pro there.

- Yeah, well, more like a topnotch amateur.

But what you want to do is, what I did to this one,

do the exact same thing with that one right there.

Then you should be good to go.

- Thank you, teacher.

[warm music]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

[warm music continues]

You know, Brandon and I would go ice skating.

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.

Not often. About once a year.

Like usually in the winter time.

- Mm-hm.

- It's just something about ice skating in the winter.

Like even in an indoor rink like this, it's a little...

I don't know.

- It's romantic.

- [chuckles] Yeah, you could say that.

[phone vibrates]

[phone vibrates]

- You know, I always get really hungry after I exercise.

You wanna keep on hanging out?

You wanna get some more stuff tonight?

- We could get some dinner later.

[crickets chirp] [gentle music]

- So, wait. Where is your room, anyways?

- Oh, [chuckles] just down the hall there.

[both chuckle]

- Well, here's mine! [chuckles]

- Yep, I remember. [giggles]

[lock bleeps]

[door opens]

Well, uh... [chuckles]

I, um...

I, uh... [chuckles]

- Yeah, I...

Look, Keely. Um...

So, when I got up this morning, I went ahead,

I went to the grocery store and my store director

was just standing out there, waiting for me,

and he told me what I'd caused,

and then he gives me a call and tells me I'm suspended.

This day started out as the worst day in my life.

- And now?

- And now, I couldn't care less. [chuckles]

- I know what you mean.

It's, uh, crazy what a little infestation can lead to.

- Yeah. [Keely giggles]

[gentle music continues]

[Keely chuckles]

[joyful music]

[joyful music continues]

- [Adam] I'll let this part speak for itself.

[joyful music continues]

[muffled birds chirp] [gentle music]

[gentle music continues]

[gentle music continues]

[birds chirp] [gentle music continues]

- Wakey, wakey, wakey! [Brett sighs]

How'd you sleep?

- I haven't slept that good in a long time.

- Look at this wild hair.

[Brett chuckles]

You ever, uh, wake up in the morning and think,

"Ooh, that ain't right"?

[Keely chuckles]

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

[Keely sighs]

No, seriously? Um...

That was really fun.

It was a fun and, uh,

unexpected day.

[Keely chuckles]

- Yeah. Unexpected.

That's the key word. [chuckles]

- And, um...

Gosh, last night was, um...

[chuckles] What time is it, anyways?

- Um... [Keely chuckles]

I don't know. I think we slept in.

- Yeah. - The sun's up.

- Ooh.

It's bright. - Mm-hm.

Hm.

- I don't wanna, um, like, sound cliche or anything,

but I mean, I really mean that last night was great and, um,

I, um...

You know, I wouldn't have done that with just anyone.

I mean that.

- I know.

It means a lot to me, too.

- Thank you.

[Keely chuckles]

- Thank you.

- Well, we got a whole day ahead of us.

- We do?

- Yeah, train's not till tomorrow.

- Well...

- Well?

- Hm.

- I'm ready to have another great night with you.

Cheers to our vacation.

- Cheers.

- All right. I'm gonna go take a shower now.

- Okay.

I'm gonna jump in after you.

Like, like when you're done.

- I knew what you meant, silly.

- Okay.

[Brett sighs]

- [Adam] The morning after.

A lot of people don't know how to handle it.

But when I picked them up on the second day,

and drove them to a nearby cafe,

they seemed to be handling it just fine.

- Oh, my God. I know.

These executives?

They never want us to talk when they do their store visits.

I mean, they say they do, but they really don't.

- Well, they come in every holiday. Every single one.

- Right?

It's like Christmas time or whatever holiday, and it's like,

"Dude, you're stressing everybody out here."

- But no, then they give us a score.

- Mm-hm. - Like we're in grade school.

- Yeah, and that's when they wanna know our thoughts,

which, úyou know, they really don't.

- [Brett] Oh, yeah. Put in your two cents.

For all that it's worth.

- Ain't worth much, let me tell ya.

- Well, you know what? It's like that old saying.

It's like, put in your two cents,

but only a penny for your thoughts.

- Mm-hm. - Someone's losing money.

- You know what? That should be the new company motto.

- [Brett] Mm. Yeah, for sure.

- Mm-hm.

So, do you ever think about getting a dog or a kitty?

Or any kinda like precious little-

- I got a fish.

- Why am I not surprised?

What's his name? What's his name?

- His name's Fish.

[gentle acoustic music]

I got all my stuff color coordinated.

All my clothes are like polo shirts,

button up shirts, dress shirts.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Everything's alphabetical order.

All my movies, all my books, all my video games.

- That's too much. - [laughs] Yeah.

- Now I can see why you don't have a girlfriend.

- Okay. Dang.

- [chuckles] I just mean, you know...

The Brett that I knew before.

- Mm-hm. Okay. - You know, it's-

- Look, you don't have to try and explain it.

You know why? Because you're right.

Like, I've never really been in a serious relationship.

I've always, I don't know, I've dated people before,

but I guess I just, I need to learn how to relax

and I know that I don't relax enough.

It's crazy.

- Yeah.

What was the name of your last girlfriend?

[Brett scoffs]

- Cindy? [chuckles]

Why?

- Well, what I was getting at earlier is,

if Cindy had known the Brett I've known,

since noon yesterday, we probably wouldn't be walking here

in this park together.

- Oh, thank you. It's a good thing

- "Cindy".

Sounds slutty.

- Whoa. - [chuckles] Sorry.

- Wow. [Keely laughs]

Well, honestly, like,

I don't like to ex-girlfriend bash, at all.

But yeah, she used to sleep around and stuff,

so you're kind of right.

- Oh.

Well, she truly sounds like a terrible person.

And I think you dodged a major bullet, getting around that.

Thank you.

- I've been over her for quite a while.

- Well, good, good.

Okay. Okay. I got a new one for ya.

Worst things to say during sex.

- Like, what're you talking about? Things that I've said?

- No, no! Just like in general.

Like, um...

[sighs] "Get off me. I'll do it myself."

[both chuckle]

"Oh, wait. What was your name again?"

- Ooh. Okay.

I got you. So, "You remind me of my ex-girlfriend."

- Mm, it's all right. - No?

- But how about, um, "Hey, smile for the camera over there."

- Oh, man. [Keely laughs]

- Or, or "On second thought, turn off the lights."

- [laughs] Yeah, yeah.

- Or, or...

"Mm, I think my inflatable's better."

- "Who's next?"

- Mm.

- What about...

"I forgot to tell you. I'm on my period."

- Damn! What are you, like a teenage boy?

All right, on that note. Lunch.

- All right, let's go.

- What have I brought out of you?

[warm music]

[warm music continues]

- So, what did you think about the movie?

- It was all right.

Not the best thing I've ever seen, you know?

- Yeah, ditto. I can't believe they killed the hero.

- I know! I hate when they do that.

It's disappointing.

- We should call the driver.

- Oh, yeah? Where to?

- I don't know, but you should let me pay this time.

Serious. - [chuckles] No.

It's all a good, man.

- I've got an idea.

- Mm. Do tell.

- [Adam] Their vacation was going great.

But eventually, even the greatest happy accidents

will reach their breaking point.

- I gotta hand it to you, man.

That's how you take a day off, right there.

- I can't argue with that.

- I've been thinking,

[sighs] I just wanna thank you, you know?

'Cause this has just been-

- No, Keely.

Thank you.

I haven't had this much fun in God knows how long.

I used to be so uptight about everything, for years.

And I know that my mom is fine.

Like, my aunt looks after her, whenever I'm not home.

And I haven't even been on my phone.

I realize, like, not today, not yesterday.

No phone calls, no texts.

And I know that my mom is okay.

And then I met you.

I've never, ever talked to someone so much before.

- I, um, I feel the same way.

I mean, I, um...

No phone calls, no texts either and... [giggles]

I guess no one missed me.

- Well, you were supposed to be at work yesterday, so...

Right?

Sad.

- Nah.

You know, honestly, that's the norm for me.

I wish I still hung out with my friends,

as much as I used to, but, um...

I don't know, I guess I kind of lied to you,

when I told you I did all those fun things.

You know, ever since Brandon,

they've been different, you know?

'Cause I've been different, so...

- Yeah. That makes sense.

I get it.

I'm pretty much in the same boat.

It's just different circumstances.

But yeah, I used to hang out with my friends all the time,

back in college, you know?

But...

- You did get a few phone calls from someone, though.

- What do you mean? [Keely chuckles]

- Your friend Luke?

- How do you know that?

- Okay, I didn't mean anything by it.

It's just that, this morning in the hotel,

when you were sleeping, I got up and, you know,

I was like groggy and everything,

and I went to go check my phone

and I accidentally picked up yours and I saw,

and it's just an accident, I mean, you know.

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

Like, I'm sure you didn't mean to look at my phone.

It makes sense.

- And so, I was just wondering...

- What was he calling about? - Yeah!

- Yeah, he was calling about the shop.

- That's incredible.

And so?

- Well, he did leave a couple messages.

He sent me a couple texts, and yeah,

I listened to the message.

- [Keely] And?

- Yeah, his uncle got ahold of him.

- And so? What did he say?

- Well, um, I haven't had a chance to call him back.

- Dude!

- What?

- Oh, like, all throughout yesterday,

you've given me this huge spiel

about how you can't stand your job,

and you told me this beautiful story

about this great dream you have,

and now you finally got a phone call

that this dream might actually come true.

- Okay. So, that's a little over the top.

- How so?

- "Oh, a beautiful story. A great dream."

Come on.

- Yeah! I mean, it is beautiful, man.

And it...

It is great.

- Keely, it's a bait and tackle shop.

- [sighs] It's something you love, though.

- I love pizza.

And I'm not gonna change my whole life because of pizza.

- That's a terrible comparison, and you know it.

- [Brett] Okay, fine.

- [Keely] So?

- So what?

- Call him!

- Okay, so what do you want me to tell him?

- That... [chuckles]

You'll quit your job,

if his uncle's really serious about backing you guys!

I mean, come on. You might be fired anyways, right?

- That simple, huh?

- Doesn't seem that hard.

- Okay, so here. Let me ask you this.

What would you do?

Because my mom has lost almost her entire memory.

That in itself is a whole thing right there.

- Are you an idiot or something?

Brett, if you get canned,

it's between unemployment or taking your dream shot.

Or going to another grocery company.

But let's face it. The strike happened, man.

All the grocers in the areas that are new hires are screwed,

and that's gonna be you.

You hate your job and you know it.

How does this not make sense to you?

- Wow.

- Wow, what?

- You completely skipped over what to do about my mom.

- You just take her with you, if you have to.

- Oh, okay, so I'm just gonna put her in my backpack

and take her with me.

- Look, I know this might sound mean,

but she has what she has, right?

She has it here, she has it there.

I don't know, I... [sighs]

Maybe it's time you look into getting a little help.

Like a facility, or something.

- See, that is mean.

And look, Keely, I know where you're coming from on that one

but you gotta realize something, you gotta understand

right now that that is something

that I'm never gonna do to her.

- All right, so, didn't you say something

about an aunt that looks in on her from time to time?

I mean, maybe, maybe she could look after your mom

for a little while, while you got set up and...

Look, if that's a problem, just take her with you.

- Keely.

So, what happens if I fail? Have you considered that?

- Okay.

If you're worried about becoming like your dad,

I think that's pretty stupid.

- No, that isn't stupid.

That's totally understandable, actually.

- Is that your professional doctor opinion?

- What's the matter with you? - What?

- You keep on badgering me about this.

- Like, I just don't want you making a mistake

and regretting anything in your life, okay?

- Okay. I didn't say I wasn't gonna call the dude.

- [Keely] Then do it!

- Okay, settle down, Keely. Geez.

- Look, you have a chance at a new life. A great life.

Just don't go throwing that away is all I'm saying.

- What's wrong, Keely?

What's up? Like, tell me.

You can talk to me.

- I'll make you a deal.

- Okay.

- If you call your friend and take the dive,

I'll tell you why you asking me

about wanting children was my limit.

- Okay.

Sure.

- [Keely] Can we get the check?

[gentle music]

[Keely breathes heavily]

[Keely breathes heavily]

- Hey, Keely!

Hey.

What's the matter with you?

- Look, I'm sorry. I just...

There's just certain things that trigger this with me,

and they don't always make sense,

and they're not always related to what happened, but...

I just...

Look, I really like you, man, and I think we've got

a good thing going and I wanna keep it going, but,

I just really want you to be happy, because-

- Because what? Why?

- I'm not happy, Brett.

Not that I'm not happy with you.

I really am, but...

[sighs] I've got baggage.

- Yeah. I know.

Keely, I don't care!

I don't care!

Your husband died. You're allowed to have baggage.

It's fine!

- Oh, no, no, no, Brett. You don't understand.

I have real baggage, like hidden baggage,

like baggage I've never told anyone in my life,

and my God, I don't know how you,

of all the people on the planet, walked into my life

and were the one I wanted to tell my baggage to.

- Okay. Just stop saying the word "baggage", okay?

[Keely sighs]

Keely.

- Brandon and I wanted kids.

- Okay.

I figured that.

- Well...

We, uh, tried and nothing, and tried some more,

and still nothing and then we decided to go get tested,

and then we waited and waited.

- And?

- Things got tense, even before the testing.

You know, it can drive a wedge.

I, uh...

I hated the thought that one of us couldn't produce.

And I know he felt the same way.

We both wanted a family, so bad.

- Can I say something?

- What?

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

You just didn't seem like the type of person

that wanted a family, when I met you.

- Well, I don't blame you for saying that.

Call it a shell, call it a defense mechanism.

Call it whatever you want, okay?

I changed.

And my friends saw it.

It's the reason why we don't talk anymore.

- Keely, so what...

Something happened. What happened?

What are you trying to tell me?

- Brandon traveled a lot for work, okay?

Special assignments out on the power lines.

He was away when the call came in, so I couldn't tell him.

- What couldn't you tell him?

- Just...

We'd gotten into this awful fight before he left,

and I was angry, and...

I don't know, looking back, we were just too dumb to see

that there's other ways to have kids, you know?

But you just can't think clearly,

when you're in the moment, you know?

It's just, you can't think straight.

- Keely, just what is it?

Just out with it. What is it?

- It was me, okay?

I couldn't have kids. Me.

It was my body, couldn't, couldn't produce.

- Okay, so what? Did he end up resenting you for?

Is that what happened?

[Keely sighs]

- I didn't wanna be the bad guy.

So...

I lied and told him it was him.

That it was Brandon.

God, I played along so well.

We both fell apart.

The marriage, everything.

Two weeks later, on a Tuesday,

he got up and went to work and fell.

He never got to know the truth.

So, that's the baggage.

- Keely, I, I...

I couldn't imagine.

It's a serious problem.

You know, I...

I wouldn't have guessed.

- Yeah, well now you know it. Congratulations.

- Keely. [somber music]

I'm not gonna judge you for that.

I promise.

It's not fair for me to judge you for any of this.

Okay?

- Just, you don't have to say anything, man.

Look, I know I'm an evil person,

and I deserve to live with that, so...

- Stop it. You're not evil.

You're not an evil person.

I know you know.

- Just don't. Don't, Brett.

Just don't.

You wanted to know, so now you know.

You wanted to know and I told you.

You know, and now you think I'm some crazy bitch,

who did this horrible thing to her husband, which,

you know, of course, of course I did.

And, and I knew, I knew...

I knew whoever I told this to would think the worst.

And you deserve to think the worst, and that's fine.

That's fine, man. Live with it.

I have to.

You know? And I don't need you.

I don't need you, okay?

I can get by just fine.

I've been getting by, long before you came into my life.

You know? So, this is just whatever.

It is whatever, and I'm gonna figure this out, okay?

I am. You know?

This is what you get. You wanted to know?

Now you know.

You made me tell you. So, now you know.

Congratulations, buddy.

- Oh, great!

Yeah. I made you tell me?

- Just don't. Okay, Brett?

Just stop! - Keely, don't do this!

- [Keely] Stop it!

- Keely. Just...

It's gonna be okay. - No, it's not!

You know what? Just stay away from me.

- [Brett] No, no, please don't.

- I shouldn't have trusted you!

- Keely. - Stay away!

Don't! Leave me alone.

- [Brett] Keely, come back.

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

- [Adam] And it can happen, just like that.

When I picked her up that night, she was alone.

I took one look at her,

and well,

you can tell.

[Keely breathes heavily]

[Keely sniffles]

[Keely sighs]

- [sniffs] Hey. [clears throat]

- Hey.

You okay, hon?

- I'm fine. I'm just, um...

It's just, um...

Just a bad night is all.

- Do you wanna talk about it?

- Um...

You know, it's probably not a good idea right now.

- Okay.

[keys clink]

[car starts]

[engine hums]

[crickets chirp]

[engine hums]

You know, I can be a shoulder.

- I just made a lot of bad mistakes and all.

You know what I mean? [sniffles]

- [Adam] I think we all do.

Definitely.

But I can understand what you're saying,

and how you're feeling about it.

- I just, I have like mistakes I can't come back from.

- [Adam] Hm.

- So, how do you fix that?

[Keely sobs]

- Sweetheart, I wish I knew.

[Keely sobs] [somber music]

[somber music continues]

But...

We learn to keep living.

You go inside and you give yourself some rest, okay?

[somber music continues]

[Keely sobs]

- I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[Keely sobs] [somber music continues]

[Keely sobs]

I'm so sorry.

[Keely sobs]

[somber music continues]

[Keely sniffles]

[Keely pants]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues] [Keely sniffles]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[brooding music]

[brooding music continues]

[brooding music continues]

Oh, God.

[brooding music continues]

[brooding music continues]

[knocks on door]

Brett?

Brett, it's me!

Hey. Hey, listen, I'm really sorry!

I, I'm really sorry about last night. That was stupid.

Brett?

[knocks on door]

[brooding music continues]

Brett?

[knocks on door]

[Keely sighs]

[Keely mumbles]

[brooding music continues]

[brooding music continues]

[birds chirp]

[brooding music continues]

[brooding music continues]

[brooding music continues]

[Keely chuckles]

I was right.

[Keely sighs]

- [Adam] Needless to say, she was hurtin'.

She was hurtin' so much, in fact, that I could feel it.

The third morning, I picked her up alone, again.

And it's here that I'd like to think I had

some kind of small impact in the outcome.

- [Keely] Hey, Adam.

- Hey!

Get your suitcase for ya?

- [Keely] Oh, sure. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

So, uh, where's your friend?

- What? The guy?

- Yeah.

- Had a fight.

- Well...

- I don't know. I... [sighs]

I guess I was kind of a jerk to him.

And I guess I chased him off, so...

- Why don't you go apologize?

- What? Just like that?

- Oh, come on.

Don't tell me a guy like that wouldn't forgive you.

- Well, I don't know.

I mean, we just met and I barely know him.

- I caught onto that.

I caught onto a few other things about you,

the last few days, too.

You and your quips and quotes.

[Keely chuckles]

So, why don't you use them, and go tell him you're sorry?

- Well, I've been thinking about it,

and the problem is he left to go catch the train

and I don't know, what if I'm too late?

- Just relax.

I know a shortcut.

- What? To the train station? - Mm-hm.

- Do you really think we might catch him?

- Get in. - Okay.

- Well, let's kick it up.

[car door slams] [bright music]

[train horn honks]

[train roars]

[bright music continues]

Thank you so much.

[car door slams]

[bright music continues]

[suspenseful music]

Brett?

Brett!

Hey!

Brett!

Brett.

It was cockroaches. It's breaking news.

I was right.

Well, I just, I couldn't let you leave without-

- Keely. I was gonna knock on your door last night.

I'm sorry I didn't.

I just thought it would be better if I came here instead-

- Oh, Brett, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I had to let you know. I...

I had time to process everything this morning,

and I don't know what's wrong with me.

I just, I said some horrible things to you,

and I don't mean any of it.

Listen.

I've had an amazing two days with you. Amazing.

And I understand if I ruined things forever,

and that you can never forgive me, but at least you know.

- Keely, I forgave you, the moment you walked away from me.

- Really? - Yeah.

You and Brandon, what happened there?

There's nothing I can say about that.

And in fact, it's none of my business.

I can never understand what it's like

to live through that situation.

And I'm not gonna judge you for it.

I mean that.

- So, you don't think of me as some evil, crazy woman?

- No. [chuckles]

In fact, I think you're just trying to help people.

And you do.

You helped me.

I called Luke.

- You did? - I took the dive.

- What? - Yeah.

Well, remember our bet, silly?

Like, you told me your stuff

and then I was gonna make the call, so I did.

[Keely chuckles]

- [Keely] That's amazing.

- Yeah, so I'm investing. - Okay.

- It's going on. His uncle's investing.

And it's gonna happen.

And the union called me, and they didn't even fire me.

- They didn't? - No, I resigned.

- [Keely] [chuckles] My god!

- Yeah, so I guess I just gotta figure out

how to get started.

- Well, remember when you asked me what I'd do,

if I were you?

- Yeah.

- If I were you, I would ask your family

for some help with your mom.

You know, just until you've got things settled.

And I would ask a friend for some help, too.

You know, with some other things.

- Oh, yeah. This is gonna cost me so much money.

- Brett, I can help.

- Keely, I'm not gonna ask you for that kind of help.

Just no.

- Okay, you need a change, and so do I.

We both want a change.

- No. No.

I'm not gonna ask you for that kind of thing, ever. Stop.

- Brandon's accident?

There was a settlement with his company and it's part

of the reason I stepped down.

Brett, money's not an issue for me.

[train horn blares]

Look. Your train's gonna be here any minute.

If I were you, I wouldn't get on it, okay?

I can get my car towed to a shop here in town

and we can spend another day together,

and I'll drive you home after.

We can both go and help get your mom situated.

Look, I know your story.

It was always you and her.

And I think she'd really want this for you.

And I'd tell her that you've met someone

who really, really likes you.

Someone who wants to take a chance

on something great with you.

Someone who can see now that there's something good coming,

for both of us.

And if I were you,

I'd take a chance on this and

take a chance on us.

- That simple, huh?

- Doesn't seem that hard.

- I'm not gonna go.

[train roars]

[muffled announcement]

- [Adam] And the rest is a small piece of history.

A history that I got to witness the beginning of.

By far my favorite story working this job.
