WOMAN 1: You just don't
have sex with your boss.

She does.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

WOMAN 2: You don't sh*t where
you eat, you know what I'm saying?

WOMAN 1: Yeah.

It's for the best. She's
always creating drama.

WOMAN 2: The whole department
will be better off without her.

WOMAN 1: It's so sad, though.

WOMAN 2: Well, she'll
get another job, you know,

(LAUGHING) and she'll
boff her some other boss.

WOMAN 1: She is done
now. Done, done, done.

Bye! Don't let the door
hit you on the way out.

(LAUGHS)

f*ck off, Cheryl.

Back stabbing c**t.

Excuse me!

Amy!

Don't.

Amy...

I'm not putting up with this
f*cking bullshit for one more second.

Oh, Amy. Is Cleaning
Supplies so bad?

Oh my God, Krista,
shut up, you fool!

Amy! Amy.

Amy, Amy...

What? What!

(WHISPERING)
Amy, you look insane.

Krista, go back to your
sad f*cking little desk, okay?

I don't care anymore. I'm
done! I'm gonna k*ll him.

You!

(WHISPERS) No.

DAMON: Seriously,
whatever you guys feel like.

There's a bunch of places about
a five minute drive from here.

Damon.

None of them are
good, but... Damon!

Damon!

Heard the big news! Do
you want to talk to me?

Excuse me one
second, guys. Amy...

I know it was you,
okay? I know you did this.

I'm with vendors. You
need to calm down, okay?

I know it was you. You don't want to
deal with me? You go to Cleaning Supplies.

I'm not going to
Cleaning Supplies!

(QUIETLY) Don't do
it, don't do this to me.

(WHISPERING) You
insecure, little baby. Shh!

(WHISPERING) I
mean, big deal. Okay...

We f*cked, all right?
We f*cked! So what?

I'm over it.

But please, don't transfer
me out of my own department!

I didn't do anything, all right?
You think that's up to me?

Oh, you liar. You f*cking liar!

You gotta have everything?

All those random
fees and bonuses

you told me they'd give
you? Can someone...

Huh? Huh? Shh!

You gotta have my f*cking job,
too? Okay, shh... Would you...

- Is that what it is?
- Amy...

Health and Beauty is my
department! You need to calm down.

(SOBBING) Health and
Beauty is my department!

Health and Beauty was mine!

Oh, f*ck, I...

(GASPS)

She's a long story.
I'll tell you after lunch.

At least admit that
it was you, Damon!

Tell me that you did this!

I don't know what
you're talking about, Amy.

You think I'm stupid? Is that
what it is? You think I'm a f*cking...

(ELEVATOR WHINES)

(GRUNTS)

Damon!

Jesus Christ! f*ck
you, m*therf*cker!

(GRUNTS)

I will destroy you!

I will bury you, I will
k*ll you, m*therf*cker!

AMY: I'm speaking
with my true voice now.

Without bitterness or fear.

And I'm here to tell you,

you can walk out of
hell and into the light.

You can wake up
to your higher self.

And when you do,

the world is suddenly
full of possibility,

of wonder and deep connection.

You can be patient.

And you can be kind.

You can be wise
and almost whole.

You don't have to run
away from life your whole life.

You can really live.

You can change.

And you can be
an agent of change.

(HORNS HONKING)

(PHONE RINGING)

VOICE MAIL: Hey, this is Damon
Manning. I can't take your call right now,

but please leave a
message and I'll call you back.

(BEEPS)

Hey, Damon, it's me, Amy.

Wow, yeah. So,
um... I just, uh...

I wanted to call and say hi.

I just, I just got
back from Hawaii,

and I've, I've been in treatment
and stuff. It's been so awesome,

and I feel amazing, and I
just wanted to like, clear the air,

because I'm going
to Abaddonn today,

and I'm gonna talk to them about
maybe starting up work again,

'cause I just feel super sorry about...
about what happened at the end there.

But it would be great to get to
talk and put the past behind us.

My number's the same, okay?

So I hope everything
is well with you,

really. You know, your
family and everything.

Okay? Call me?

(CHIRPS)

There you are. Oh,
it's okay, darling, yes.

Come on, beauty, come
get your beautiful dinner.

(CAR DOOR CLOSES)

Mom!

Oh!

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

What is it? What's wrong?

(WHIMPERS)

You're gonna spill
my coffee, Amy.

It's good to see you, Mom.

Why?

Mom, the center was beautiful.

I mean, it was incredible. I
met all these amazing people.

Well, how long are you staying?

Uh, just till I save up enough
money to get a new place.

Oh.

It's so dark in here, Mom!
You need to let in some light.

And when are you going
to tell me what is going on?

You know what, Mom? I can't
talk, 'cause I'm going to Abaddonn.

I'm getting my job back!

I'm gonna have a meeting
with HR in half an hour,

so I'm scrambling.

Amy, are you gonna
wear that to work?

You look like a hippie.

Yeah!

Okay.

Mom, I can't wait to
tell you everything,

I'm so excited to see you,
and I'll be back in a few hours.

Okay.

Um...

I meditated on you, Mom. And me.

Uh-huh. I do that now.

I'll call you later.

(SIGHS)

(INHALES)

(EXHALES)

(SLURPS)

(LOUDLY SLURPING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Amy? They're ready for you.

The point is, that I put all
this energy into my healing,

and that same amount of energy
I now have, like, built up to work.

I just want to work again. I want my job
back. You know what I'm saying? I'm just...

Well, the problem is, the buyer position
in Health and Beauty has been filled.

That's okay. Cleaning
Supplies is perfectly fine.

I wasn't okay with it then,

but I actually really have a lot of
ideas about Cleaning Supplies now.

The buyer job in that
department has also been filled.

JUDY: You know, Amy, in
the last couple of months,

we've had to lay off quite a
few people in all departments.

The economy is what it is.

Okay, I got an idea.

Hmm.

This is gonna sound
a little outside the box.

Clean Meds doesn't have
a very good reputation.

I, I hate to say it, but we
all know it's really shitty.

And I really think I could help.

So,

I could be like a
community liaison, right?

And help promote
Abaddonn and Clean Meds

by helping them sponsor
events and causes

in Riverside, or like, wherever.

I mean, really, it's good business,
and it would be so good for morale, too.

I mean, can you imagine? Wouldn't
you be happier working for a place

that's, like, giving back to the world,
instead of some corporate parasite that's

raping the land
and people, and like,

drugging America's kids?

Are you asking us to create a
position for you that doesn't exist?

Well, I thought
it would be cool.

Well, Amy, we're happy to
see that you're doing better

and that you got the
help that you needed.

But, unfortunately, we don't have
a position to offer you at this time.

What?

Perhaps in a few weeks or
months, things will change,

but right now, there's no jobs.

I'm sorry.

Wow, this is weird.
Because when I left in June,

I'd seen a lawyer,
and he said that there

was no way you wouldn't
give me my job back.

Right? 'Cause of some kind of
pre-existing condition, depression,

and if I went and got treatment, you
would have to give me my job back,

because otherwise, there'd
be grounds for a lawsuit,

like wrongful termination or something,
so now, I'm like, totally confused.

(SIGHS)

(WHISPERING)

This is so exciting!
I am just so thrilled!

Yeah, well, uh, come
find me in the morning,

and hopefully I'll
have some answers.

Judy, you've been so great.
Thank you, thank you so much!

Right.

Brad. Great talking!

Okay.

See you tomorrow? Bye.

JUDY: See you.

(PHONE RINGING)

Where's Tina?

Uh, Tina doesn't
work here anymore.

I'm Kevin, can I help you?

Yeah, could you let Damon know that Amy
Jellicoe just wanted to pop in and say hi?

Sure.

I'm sorry. Damon's in
the middle of something.

Well, I can wait.

No, no. He's tied up all day.

Well, can you give
him a message for me?

Let him know that I am
starting work back tomorrow,

and I would really like to
talk to him as soon as he can.

I'll let him know.

Thank you, Kevin.

Have a great day.

Well, the one thing that you didn't
know, and like, nobody else knows,

this is like, so between us,

but Damon and I
were having an affair.

I knew that, yeah. I
think everyone knew.

Oh.

Well, and, yeah, so that, and
a lot of other stuff, you know,

was happening with, like, my
ex-husband and his addiction issues.

Yeah.

And it was just like...
It was a hard time.

Yeah.

But now, I've never felt better.

That's great! I
mean, you look great.

Aw.

Well, anyway, enough
about me. What about you?

I was worried that they were
gonna like, take it out on you,

'cause you were my assistant.

Yeah, no, it was... They were

very...

I got a promotion, actually.

Good for you!

Good for you.

But I guess the
biggest news is that

I'm five months pregnant.

Stand up right now
and let me see that baby!

Oh, my God. Oh, my
God, I'm so excited for you!

This is so beautiful!

Is Steve just
freaking-out excited?

He's freaking out, yeah.

And they're like, your
eggs? Like, that worked out?

Yeah, yeah, it was...
They're my eggs.

That's so awesome! Oh, my God,
she's having a baby, it's her first baby!

You're having a baby!

WAITER: Excuse me, Miss!

Oh!

Thank you so much! Thank you, I
forgot my glasses, that was so sweet!

Thank you! Have a great day!

I'm nervous.

Ready?

Mmm-hmm.

"Mother,

"They have asked
me to write a letter

"to the person I have the most
difficulty communicating with.

"It was not hard for me to
decide who that person is."

How long is this gonna take?

You have somewhere to be?

No. I just want to know
how long this is gonna take.

Uh, not long. Um, I've just got to
read you what's on these papers.

Well, I can read, honey.

But I'm supposed to read it
to you, Mom. That's the point.

Okay, Amy.

"You and I have been through a lot.
Dad's death, all of Bethany's issues,

"my divorce, money problems,
you name it, we have dealt with it.

"I know I have disappointed
you in many ways,

"and yes, there have been times
that you have disappointed me.

(SIGHS)

"But I want to change that. And I
truly believe that we can change.

"And if we can change,

"anything is possible.

"If we can change, the whole
world can change for the better."

I don't know what
that means, honey.

Mom, can you just let me
finish? And we'll talk after.

Is this what they asked
you to do up there?

One of the things, yeah.

And what medications
did they give you?

Mom, nothing. I'm
off my medications.

Well, why on earth?

Mom, I don't want to talk
about my medications.

I'm here reading you...

I just want to be sure
that you are okay.

Okay. I just, I...

Look, don't get irritated with me,
because I just want what's best for you.

That is all I have ever wanted.

Ginger's been pawing at me, so I really
need to take her... I'm gonna take her out.

Ginger, come on.
Come on with Mama.

Come on with Mama.

(DOOR SLIDING OPEN)

Come on with Mama.

(GINGER BARKING)

Yo!

Hey.

What is this?

It's a book. You know, I just, uh, I got
back from being away for a few months.

I was doing that
treatment thing...

Yeah, I know. How was that?

Actually, amazing.

Yeah?

I don't want to interrupt
anything, and if you got company...

Oh, no, I'm, I'm very
busy, as you can see.

Come on, it's good to see ya.

I just wanted to bring you
the book. I met the author,

she's kind of a genius
and super magnetic,

and if you're hanging out in your
Jacuzzi, I thought you'd check it out.

Okay. You came over here to
give me some self-help spiritual sh*t.

Okay.

It's good to see you, and, um...

You look the same.

Amy, hold on. I was going to go get
a cheeseburger, you wanna catch up?

I do, but I don't know,
I'm just... I'm kinda burned.

How 'bout this. You come get a burger with
me, and I'm gonna read 10 pages of, uh...

Oh.

"Flow Through Your Rage."

Yeah!

I don't know, maybe
not, I'm just kinda tired.

Okay, I'm gonna
change. Come on in.

I'll meet you in the car.

No, come on in.

No, I'll just... I'll
be downstairs.

So, it was one morning, super early,
and I was meditating on the beach.

You're giving me a smirky look.

I didn't say anything.

No, I just... I want
you to be open.

Okay. I'm wide open.

Anyway, I decided to get in the
water, and this sea turtle just passed by.

Big, beautiful sea turtle.

Wow. That's cool.

I felt this presence all
around me. It was God.

Or it was, it was better
than God. It was...

Something was speaking to me.

It was saying,

"This is all for you."

That everything is a gift.

Even the horrible stuff.

I know what you mean.

I kinda had the
same thing happen.

I was at Red Rocks.

(LAUGHING) I was on mescaline.

(LAUGHING)

No, I'm, I'm glad that
happened to you. I am.

To the presence of God.

Really.

The presence of God.

I don't know what
happened to you up there.

You look hotter than ever.

Yeah?

'Cause I missed you.

Missed the person
I was with you.

Hey, I like this, Levi.

It's just feels so cool,

just getting to be together, sitting here
without the fighting and the sarcasm.

Yeah.

It's nice, don't you think?

I do.

Just hanging out together
feels so easy, you know?

Oh, my God, I love just
getting to feel like this together,

it's been so long, I wasn't
expecting... (SNIFFS)

What are you doing?

You want a bump?

Oh, f*ck!

(PHONE RINGING)

VOICE MAIL: Hey, this is Damon
Manning. I can't take your call right now,

but please leave a
message and I'll call you back.

(BEEPS)

Hey, Damon, it's me again. Amy.

Hey, um, listen, I
don't want to keep

hounding you, but I am
starting work tomorrow,

and um, we are gonna have
to deal with this at some point.

Heh. So, I don't want to
over-complicate things,

I just want to apologize
and maybe get a little closure,

so it's not weird
with us at work.

It's funny, I'm, I'm just fully driving
around your neighborhood right now.

You know what? I'm gonna
pull up right by your house,

and I'll just wait there
for like five minutes.

Okay? So if you get the
message, just come on out.

I come in peace.

(DAMON SCREAMS)

Oh, oh, God, are you okay?

What the f*ck!

I just wanted to apologize.

You came to my f*cking house?

No, I didn't mean to upset you. I just
thought you might want some closure.

I don't want to have anything
to f*cking do with you, okay?

Calm down, okay?

You can't come back to town

and wrap everything up in a little
f*cking bow at your convenience.

My wife is in there, okay,
you ret*rd? My kid is in there!

How f*cking dare you!
You almost lost me my job!

Yeah, well, we both
made mistakes, okay?

Yeah, I made a mistake.

Sleeping with you was a big
mistake. But you know what, Amy?

You are a mistake. You're a giant
f*cking mistake, and everybody knows it.

So get out of my face. Get
out of my f*cking neighborhood.

You see me at work, keep your crazy a*s
walking. I got nothing to say to you, okay?

Let me tell you
something, you...

I want to talk to you! I want
to talk to you, m*therf*cker!

f*ck.

f*ck!

f*ck.

f*ck!

f*ck.

(DOG BARKING)

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

(CAR DOOR SLAMS)

Do you want my insurance, or...

Mom?

Hey.

(BARKS)

Shut up, Ginger.

(WHIMPERS)

(DOG BARKING)

AMY: I will not run away
from life my whole life.

I will try to really live.

I will be mindful.

I will be wise.

I will change.

And I will be an
agent of change.
