[water lapping]
[gentle music]
[water lapping]
[birds chirping]
[door clattering]
sh*t.
sh*t.
Damn it.
[Olive groaning]
sh*t.
[radio playing faintly]
Okay, come on, Olive.
Come on, Olive.
God damn it!
I know where it is.
I know where it is.
[radio playing faintly]
f*ck.
f*ck.
f*ck, f*ck, f*ck.
[Olive groaning]
Nope.
[radio playing faintly]
Perfect.
Hello.
Where'd you come from?
[phone buttons beeping]
[phone line trilling]
Come on.
Pick up.
[phone line trilling]
Stell, pick up, pick up,
pick up, pick up.
[phone ringing]
[phone line trilling]
Charlotte Street
Veterinary Clinic.
(Olive) I lost it.
What?
The thing.
The thing for Benny.
(Stella) Olive, what
are you talking about?
Why are you calling
me at the clinic?
It's his anniversary
present, Stell.
I can't find it.
Well he's not usually
the type to freak out
over something like that.
Yeah, yeah, but you don't
understand, it's special.
(Stella) I would hope so.
What is it?
It's a...
It's a sign for his workshop.
(Stella) How did
you lose a sign?
I don't know, but it's...
It's gone though.
Okay, well, what
does it look like?
I can come over after
work and help you look.
Hello?
Are you still there?
(Olive) Yeah, yeah.
(Stella) Are you okay?
I'm not sure.
(Stella) What?
I can't remember
what's on the sign.
Hey, Liv, did we get
new fridge magnets?
It's special, for
our anniversary.
[Stella] Yeah,
I'm getting that,
but why can't you
remember what it is?
I got it custom
made for his shop.
It's...
(Stella) It's what?
I can't remember.
[Stella] What the f*ck?
So you lost it and you
don't know w..
Apparently, yeah.
Do you need me to call
an ambulance or something?
Do you smell burnt toast?
Is Benny there, I
wanna talk to him.
No.
No.
I'm...
I'm fine.
Everything's fine.
I can figure this out.
I'm not even sure
why I called you.
I'm fine.
(Stella) Well then what
are you ..
Put Benny on the phone,
I wanna talk to him.
No, I'll call you
back in a little bit.
Everything's fine.
I'm fine.
I just, I need to find it.
I love you.
Bye.
(Stella) Wait.
Hey.
(Olive) Hey.
(Benny) You okay?
I'm not sure, it's been
a weird morning.
I lost something.
Him?
Who's he?
I found it in the workshop.
It's not yours?
No.
It's weird, right?
You think Stella dropped
it off or something?
In your workshop?
I doubt it.
Do we also need to thank her
for the new fridge magnets?
Oh.
Oh.
You know what?
We need a reset.
I'm not gonna let
mysterious plushies
and fridge magnets ruin our day.
It's not just that.
(Benny) What else?
Nothing.
Nothing.
It's our day.
That's right.
Come on, let's
get some fresh air.
Let's go for a walk.
[footsteps crunching]
It's nice out.
Quiet.
I like the rabbit.
He's cute.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I had something similar
when I was a kid.
Actually, I had
tonnes of stuffies.
I took them everywhere I went.
It's nice having
stuff like that around.
Kid stuff, you know?
[footsteps crunching]
[water trickling]
Have we been
down this way before?
(Benny) I think so.
[Olive] I don't remember it.
It's familiar.
Maybe, yeah.
But most woods just kind
of look like woods though.
Like that set of trees looks
an awful lot like that one.
Or that one.
I can see how people
get lost, you know?
Luckily you have a knack
for keeping this place
straight in your head.
I have like no
sense of direction.
Do you...
Benny?
[leaves rustling]
Benny?
[soft dramatic music]
[footsteps crunching]
Hey.
Hey.
Are you...
What?
What was that about back there?
I thought I saw someone.
Who?
I don't know.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.
Just don't run off like
that without saying something.
[thunder rumbling]
I think it's gonna rain soon.
Wanna head back?
Yeah.
Yeah, we probably should.
Quick swim first?
No, right now?
No.
- See if the water's
cold enough.
- No, Benny.
To shock us out
of this morning.
Come on.
Come on, let's go.
[water lapping]
Come on, let's go.
[water lapping]
(Stella) Olive, are
you in here?
No.
Jesus Christ.
What are you doing,
it's an open bar.
Are you crazy?
I think you just broke the door.
No, I didn't.
[Stella scoffing]
I can't believe you're
in here hiding,
drinking this sh*t when
you could be out there
drinking free sh*t and
looking hot as hell.
I'm not hiding.
No?
Okay.
I think your door's broken.
I don't know anyone here.
And that's a bad thing?
(Olive) I just don't
Olive, you gotta
get back out there.
If you're gonna sulk, at
least come sulk with me.
Okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, okay, okay,
okay, I'm leaving.
Okay.
[Olive sighing]
[gentle music]
Thank you.
So...
Is everyone here a veterinarian?
Erm, vet tech,
specialist, zoologist.
You get the idea.
If you think this is
a party you should see
what kinda stuff that
happened in the school.
These people are f*cked up.
(Olive) Uh-huh.
Listen, you could hook up
with basically anyone.
That's why we're here.
We are here to celebrate
the newly pronounced
Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez.
Liv, I'm putting my reputation
on the line to get you here.
What reputation?
You've literally told everyone
here you've brought along
your sad, lonely, single sister.
Yeah, but you you
won't be for long.
Just like sit here and sulk,
but look sexy about it.
People will flock to you.
Just wait.
Like...
You, you'd hook up
with my sister, right?
Stella, oh my God.
Okay, bad example.
Yeah.
Yes, thank you for that.
Oh, I was just trying to
get your con..
f*ck that guy.
You go, I'll sulk here.
Go get us some...
Shots.
- Shots.
Try that sexy sulk thing again,
but maybe cast a wider net.
Go, go.
[gentle music]
[glasses clattering]
Hey.
What gives, man?
I'm sorry, I didn't
know what to say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Stella can be a little intense.
She's my sister.
She brought me here
as her plus one,
because she feels bad for me.
You wanna know why?
She thinks I'm sad and alone.
Oh.
Okay.
But I'm not.
I'm not sad and alone.
I'm fine.
Yeah?
(Olive) Yeah.
Is there a reason
you wouldn't be fine?
She thinks I'm
taking a breakup badly.
But I'm not.
(Benny) Oh.
What's your name?
(Benny) Uh, Benny.
Hi, Benny.
I'm Olive.
Nice to meet you.
(Olive) Have you ever been
through a break up before Benny?
They're all a little different,
but, at the end of the day,
they're basically the same
One moment someone
is in your life
and they're the most important
person you've ever met.
And then the next moment, poof.
They're gone.
Maybe there's been
some lead up to it,
maybe there hasn't been.
I don't know.
Maybe they don't even
disappear ri..
Like...
Like you gotta still
live with them
until you find your own
place, or some bullshit.
That's, erm...
That's not my case.
Alex, they took the
sh*t that was theirs
and was gone the next day.
But the relationship,
okay, the glue
that holds people together,
it's scrubbed away.
And it's not just like something
been erased, it's like...
It's...
It's like the life you lived
togeth..
And so you start to forget,
like the little details
and it becomes just
this blanket memory.
And even that's a little fuzzy.
And it just gets fuzzier
and fuzzier until
it's less of a blanket
and more of a fuzzy, fuzzy thing
that sits quietly in
the back of your mind.
I'm sick of going through
this, you know?
I'm just tired.
I'm...
I'm tired of them
all being the sa..
Is this normal?
(Olive) What?
Is this normal?
Cause it's my first shift.
Is this gonna happen every time?
A drunk woman ranting at
you about relationships?
Probably, yes.
(Benny) Erm... yes.
Yes what?
Yes, to your
sister's question.
Oh my God.
Really?
Even after my rant?
Do you wanna get out of here?
I don't think I can.
Right. First shift.
We can hang out
here until you're done.
I think I have to
stay the whole time.
I don't really know.
They didn't really say.
f*ck the job.
How much is there
to clean up anyway?
[bottles clattering]
(Benny) Um, I do need my tray.
Hey, as a patron of this
wedding, I order you
to come hang out with me.
Erm...
(Olive) Come on.
(Stella) Oh my God, this guy.
He's taking a break
and he's joining us.
Well, erm...
Oh, yeah.
To hooking up with Olive.
Cheers to that.
[upbeat music]
(Benny) I gotta get
back to work.
(Olive) When you're drunk?
That's unprofessional.
(Benny) I'm not drunk, just...
(Olive) What?
(Benny) sh*t.
Who's that?
(Benny) My boss.
(Benny) You wanna
get outta here?
Yeah.
(Olive) It's not exactly
what I had in mind.
(Benny) It's quieter
here, more my speed.
(Olive) It's pretty.
(Olive) Did you set it up?
(Benny) No.
(Benny) It's for an
event tomorrow.
(Benny) Not sure what.
So big aspirations,
serving at weddings?
I'm kind of doing
a sh*t job at it.
(Olive) What would
you rather be doing?
Oh, erm, I don't know.
Come on.
I went to trade
school for carpentry.
Okay.
Like...
Like the construction kind,
or the c..
(Benny) Craft.
(Benny) I would love to own
my own shop one day.
(Olive) So you're an artist?
[Benny chuckling]
I guess so, yeah.
(Benny) What do you do?
This could be a fun game.
What do you think I do?
And you get three guesses.
Come on.
(Olive) Based on what
you know about me.
I don't know
anything about you.
(Olive) Yeah, but if
you had to guess.
[Benny sighing]
(Benny) Are you a lawyer?
Ew.
(Olive) Do I seem like a lawyer?
Thinking of jobs is kind of
hard outta the blue, you know?
Do you want a hint?
(Benny) Sure.
Okay, I work in one
of the many underfunded,
unappreciated, but staple
institutions of our society.
You got two guesses.
[Benny sighing]
A librarian.
(Olive) Underfunded and
unappreciated but, I'm...
I'm not much of a reader.
I'm more of like a
thinker, you know.
(Benny) Not really.
(Olive) Final hint?
(Olive)I help the next
generation find their way.
(Benny) You're a teacher.
(Olive) Close.
I'll have you know I
provide both guidance
and counselling services.
You're a guidance counsellor?
You?
(Olive) What?
I don't seem like the type?
I'm sorry, I guess that's
not fair of me to say.
I...
I don't really know you.
Yet.
You don't know me yet.
Is that why you
brought me here, Benny?
To get to know me.
Well my boss is
looking for us.
We're hiding from her.
You're gonna get in trouble.
Probably.
And that's the only
reason you brought me here?
Whoa.
What's happening?
I don't know, you
work here, you tell me.
Come on.
[rain pattering]
[thunder rumbling]
[Benny chuckling]
[Olive laughing]
(Olive) I'm gonna hop in the
shower, and get warmed up,
and then I'm ready to do
absolutely nothing all day today
Nothing weird can happen to us
if we're just sitting
on the couch, right?
Are you in?
(Benny) Yeah.
Oh, hey.
Earlier, before we went out,
you said you lost something.
What was it?
I don't know.
It couldn't have been important.
[rain pattering]
[Benny sighing]
[rain pattering]
(Benny) Hey, Liv.
(Olivia) Yeah?
Can you come
here for a second?
(Olive) Is it an emergency?
I don't know...
(Olive) I'll be quick.
Just gimme like five minutes.
[shower water splashing]
[thunder rumbling]
[rain pattering]
What the f*ck?
[thunder rumbling]
[rain pattering]
Okay, Benny, what's up?
Benny?
[rain pattering]
[bell ringing]
[door clicking]
[door thudding]
I thought I might
find you in here.
Are we in trouble?
We didn't do it.
No, you're not in trouble.
There was just extra
cake in the staff room.
Mrs. Brown's birthday.
Okay.
So if I'm not mistaken,
it's somebody else's
birthday today too.
(Student) What, do you
like check our files?
I might have mentioned
it this morning.
Happy birthday, Charlie.
Nice, you got pity cake.
It's not pity cake.
They just mentioned...
No, it's okay.
Thank you.
If the district only knew
about this blatant favouritism.
Hey, you are also invited.
Nay, heavily encouraged,
to come visit me as well.
- (Student) Pass.
- Uh-huh.
I'll see you on Friday?
Birthdays are important, okay?
People are worth celebrating.
Celebrate your friend.
[Student] Every day.
(Olive) What's up?
What'd you want?
Something's wrong.
What?
The magnet's back.
Oh, that's weird.
You didn't get new magnets?
There's something else.
[rain pattering]
Where'd it come from?
I don't know.
You're telling me someone
broke into our house
and left a wagon?
(Ollive) Benny?
Hey, stay with me here, man.
It's...
It's probably just
someone playing a ..
Stella has the spare
key, remember?
Isn't she at work?
(Olive) There's a tag.
[rain pattering]
(Olive) It says, "To Cece,
happy birthday."
Cece?
Well, there you have
it, mystery solved.
It's obviously Cece's birthday.
Who's Cece?
Beats me.
[thunder rumbling]
[rain pattering]
It's getting mad out there.
Yeah.
It really came out of nowhere.
Like the beautifully
crafted wagon?
And the plush rabbit.
And your magic magnets.
How is it so dark already?
[rain pattering]
Well, let's get something
to eat and then we can...
Benny?
[rain pattering]
Nope, no, don't like that.
[phone ringing]
Benny?
[phone ringing]
Benny?
[phone ringing]
Hello?
(Stella) Olive?
What's wrong?
(Olive) Jesus Christ, Stella.
sh*t's been weird here.
(Stella) Yeah, the storm's
just supposed to get worse.
You're breaking up a bit.
(Stella) Are you
and the girls safe?
Benny straight up disappeared.
He was in the living
room and then he wasn't.
I'm starting to freak out.
(Stella) Who's Benny?
[thunder rumbling]
[Olive] What the f*ck, Benny?
Where were you?
I don't know.
(Olive) I was calling for you.
I didn't hear you.
I didn't hear anything.
(Olive) Okay.
Okay, this is officially
way messed up.
Come with me.
Let's get some
candles or something.
[rain pattering]
[tense music]
One moment we're talking
and then the next moment
you're gone, and it was dark.
f*ck.
Okay.
Okay, what do we know?
Something's happening.
We just have to figure out what.
You disappeared earlier
too, in the woods.
You said you saw someone,
but I didn't see anyone.
And then there's Cece's
waggon and the magnets.
sh*t.
The magnets, come on.
[tense music]
(Olive) It's counting down.
To what?
I don't know.
(Benny) Look.
(Olive) Yeah, those definitely
weren't there before.
What are you doing?
Do you remember
taking that photo?
Yeah, of course.
(Benny) Where was it?
It was at...
Uh...
I don't remember either.
Stop, you're scaring me
[Benny sighing]
So we don't forget.
What?
[tense music]
[Benny sighing]
[tense music]
Is there anything else?
Nope.
The conspiracy fridge
is a nice touch.
[Benny laughing]
[a child giggling]
(Olive) Did you hear that?
Yeah.
[tense music]
Cece?
[birds twittering]
[tense music]
Are you okay?
No.
No, what the hell was that?
You saw it too?
(Olive) Yeah.
Yeah, the kitchen
was all different.
What?
(Olive) What?
That's not what I saw.
What did you see?
[water lapping]
Benny, what did you see?
[upbeat music]
(Bartender) Hey!
Yeah, you.
Come here.
You're up, man.
I'm out of here.
What?
The power going out
didn't mess anything up?
(Bartender) The power
didn't go out.
Hey, good luck tonight.
These people are crazy.
Good tips, but at what cost.
f*cking open bar man.
Wait, erm...
Hey, look at me.
You're the bartender now.
Congrats on the promotion.
I don't know how.
Oh, crazy first day.
I feel like I'm
gonna get fired.
We just gotta do a
k*ller job, you know?
They can't fire you if
you're a stellar employee.
Get back here.
Everyone here is wasted.
So if you f*ck up any
drinks, it won't matter.
You're a guidance counsellor?
[Olive] Mm-hmm.
The f*ck?
What can I get ya, love?
Tequila, for the three of us.
- Ooh, well I-
- Coming right up.
[glass ringing]
Something is...
Wrong.
What were we doing?
[Olive] You were
gonna get fired.
Because of you.
Well, I'm drunk.
Was drunk.
You didn't have to listen to me.
You were a hurricane.
You loved it.
Does the nameCece
mean anything to you?
No.
I don't think so.
Look, we're both
a little on edge,
but we need to keep drinking.
It's free.
I'm good, thanks.
You know what?
Me too.
You wanna dance?
Why not?
Who's gonna man the bar?
I think it'll be fine.
- Oh.
- Come on.
[gentle music]
Once the weather warms
We can lie under the stars
Witness distant moments
That passed years ago
Time goes by so strangely now
January melted into May
So who are you, Benny?
Not sure yet.
Still figuring it out, I guess.
Who are you?
That's a good question.
Don't take this the wrong way,
but you're kind of a
whirlwind of a person.
And you're like
a summer breeze.
[Benny] Okay, sure.
[Olive] No, I just mean
you seem to go with the flow.
You know?
Hmm.
Well you're very persuasive.
What are you thinking?
I'm not sure.
Everything is clogged, jumbled
up, and pieces are missing.
Yeah.
There's just this feeling
that I'm gonna be gone soon.
Like, like your
death is imminent?
Just gone.
[gentle music]
(Boss) Benny?
Are you f*cking
kidding me right now?
Are you serious?
(Olive) It's my fault.
I seduced him.
I give you this one shot
and this is how you take it?
Get out.
I'll be complaining
to the hotel.
I'll tell them that the
woman who runs the weddings
is a cruel and hateful person.
Okay.
[Olive] Hey, I'm sorry.
I'm not sure it
was my calling.
You would've been great.
Can I be real with
you for a second?
I have a room booked here
and 'd like to invite you up.
But I'm a second away
from puking my guts out,
but you can still come with me.
I just wanted to paint
you an accurate picture
of what's to come.
[gentle music]
[Olive retching]
[Olive laughing]
[Benny laughing]
[birds twittering]
[Benny grunting]
Oh, we didn't
make it to the bed.
Oh, no.
I am the embodiment of death.
Do you think I could reach
the tap from this position?
I need water.
I...
I don't think so.
We could get up.
The world doesn't exist
outside of this bathtub.
Probably not, no.
Crazy first date.
Was that what that was?
Either that or a fever dream.
[door clicking]
There you are.
I was wondering how you
made out last ..
(Stella) Server guy,
good to see you again.
What the f*ck?
Stella, how...
How are you okay?
What animal healer
magic do you possess?
It's called drinking
water, ding-dong.
Now come on,
we're past checkout.
What time is it?
How'd you...
How'd you get in here?
You gave me your
card last night
and it's noon, and we have
to meet mom for lunch.
It's noon?
Stella, help me up.
(Olive) Okay, where
are my clothes?
My bag?
I need my stuff.
Did you lose
your job last night?
Sorry about that.
Was it worth it?
[Benny groaning]
Hey, sorry, I'm late.
Traffic?
Let's chalk it
up to that, sure.
So what's up?
I don't know.
Not really sure why I have
to keep coming back here.
We went through my courses,
talked about my future,
and in three months
I'm outta here.
Are you excited?
Yeah, I guess.
(Olive) Nervous?
Sure.
That's normal.
Stop therapizing me.
You're just supposed to help
me pick classes and sh*t.
Sorry.
Any decisions on what
you're taking next year?
I don't know, man.
There's too many options.
I guess I don't even
know where to start.
It's hard, yeah.
All right, so like when I
was little my piece of sh*t...
Sorry.
Dad got me to pick between piano
and this like
theatre class I did.
Right?
And like I loved
them both so much,
but he made it very clear I
could only do one of them.
So I cried for a little bit
and then I picked up
my little bootstraps
and said, "Charlie,
you gotta pick!"
Knowing him, if you
don't make a decision
they're both gone.
Right?
After mom left it seemed
like there was a lot decided
for me, you know?
So take the initiative
while you can, right?
Which one do you like more?
And I didn't know.
I mean, I still don't
really know,
I just didn't wanna
pick the wrong thing.
What'd you pick?
Piano.
Not that it really mattered.
He made me quit a year later.
We have so little control
over our lives when we're young,
but that's the best
part of growing up,
of graduating high school.
It's your life now, Charlie.
You get to choose
whatever you want.
But what if I choose wrong?
What if I should have
picked the theatre class?
Maybe then he would've
let me stick with it.
But now we'll never
know for sure, right?
What if I choose
the wrong school?
The wrong major?
What if I choose
the wrong things?
Whoa.
Hold on to your butt, kid.
You're gonna fly away.
Sorry.
This is stupid, I know.
It's not stupid.
It's not.
Whatever decision you make,
it's the right choice.
Because every decision you
make leads to who you are.
There are no right
or wrong choices,
there's just things you
do, things that happen.
And those things,
they can come and go
but you, you are the constant.
So you're saying it
doesn't matter what I pick.
It matters.
But the path you choose is
your own, nobody else's.
If you wanna change it,
you just, you change it.
I hate this.
I know.
It gets better.
Everybody says that.
Everybody's been saying
that my whole f*cking life
and I'm so sick of it.
(Olive) Okay.
Why'd you bring me
that piece of cake?
I thought you might
have needed it.
Well it was
really f*cking nice.
Sorry for swearing.
It's okay.
Between you and me,
I also f*cking swear.
You're good at this.
Thanks.
I hope so.
That's why I'm here,
to bestow my wisdom
upon young, impressionable minds
I've been saying to Benny,
not enough students
are coming in here
and being positively
impacted by my very presence.
Who's Benny?
(Olive) My partner.
I haven't mentioned him before?
I thought your partner's
name was Ada?
[tense music]
Does the name Ada
mean something to you?
(Benny) Has this
always been blue?
Yeah.
What do you
think is happening?
If I had to guess?
(Benny) Yeah.
I think we died.
Or...
Or maybe we're in some
sort of communal coma.
Why does it look
like that outside?
(Olive) It's definitely weird.
[tense music]
(Benny) Do you ever wish
that things were different?
(Olive) Right now?
Yeah.
(Benny) I mean,
about your life.
(Olive) Have today's events
made you philosophical?
Sometimes, yeah.
But I like our life.
Do you?
[tense music]
[birds twittering]
[gentle music]
[birds twittering]
It looks great, doesn't it?
Oh, love.
What a cruel and
fickle thing it is.
It tempts us with promises
of passion and devotion,
only to leave us
heartbroken and alone.
I've loved and lost
so many times.
Each time believing
it was the real thing,
only to have my heart
shattered once again.
But is it too much to ask for?
Am I destined to
forever be searching
for something that
may never come?
Or worse, to settle for
something less than true love
all for the sake of
not being alone?
Love is a guiding light in this
vast and bewildering world.
I will embrace euphoria.
Relish
This monologue is painful.
The writing's painful,
but the performance is mwah.
Standby, LX2.
(Sal) Guess what?
What?
(Sal) Someone in this show
might ..
What?
Oh my God, what's happening?
Sal has a date tonight.
We have been here all day
and you don't mention
it until now?
I know, right?
The restraint on my part.
(Ada) Tell me literally
everything, you goon.
LX2, go.
You can maybe
both discuss this later.
It's a tech run, Paul.
Get over yourself.
(Sal) He's an Aquarius.
Oh,
What is that supposed to mean?
Sal's on deck, stand by LX3.
How's that gonna work?
What do you mean, "How
is that gonna work?"
We can work through any
issue, I can mould him.
(Ada) Are you sure?
I haven't even met
him in person yet
and you're already dooming it.
The gall.
(Sal) And to think I could trust
to open up to you and...
And you're f*cking with me.
It's gonna go great.
LX3, go.
Sal, enter stage left.
Go.
(Ada) Go, go, go.
As long as the date goes well.
Oh, so now you're interested.
Yeah.
Well, knowing Sal, they'll
probably self-sabotage.
Drink too much,
profess their love.
(Paul) Mm.
But who knows?
Maybe this time
will be different.
Stand by, LX4.
You coming out tonight?
Jane said she'd buy the
first round for everyone.
I actually have plans
tonight, believe it or not.
Going to my cousin's wedding.
(Paul) The night
before our preview?
I think we're gonna
be a little dead
upon arrival, don't you?
Yeah.
LX4, go.
What's the bar situation?
Open.
Dangerous.
What? Why?
I thought you'd be jealous.
Bit of a recipe for chaos.
I will never stop loving you.
[upbeat music]
(Stella) I love weddings.
I'll have what she's having.
I'll have vodka soda.
[upbeat music]
Hey.
Yeah?
Can I get your
opinion on something?
What vibe am I giving off?
Right now?
(Olive) Mhmm.
Drunk and a little sad.
Exactly.
I'm in no condition
to be here.
What's your name?
Olive.
Nice to meet you, Olive.
I'm Ada.
All right. I'll bite.
Why are you in no
condition to be here?
Have you ever been
through a break up before?
They're all a little different,
but at the end of the
day, they're exactly the same.
I don't know if that's true.
I mean, is that true?
All breakups are the same?
Okay, no.
But...
But...
But I had a point I
was going to m..
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it was a really
impressive..
Revolutionary.
Well it's probably
best we get all our weird
breakup baggage out now, so we
know what we're dealing with.
I don't wanna sleep with you
and then find out
you're a sociopath.
I'm kidding.
No.
It's okay if you're kidding.
- I me..
- Are you...
- Are you...
- Are you flirting with me?
- A sociopath?
[both laughing]
Yes, I'm flirting with you.
Wow.
I'm actually working on a
show right now about breakups.
A show?
"Peter: Cruel, fickle love."
It's awful.
I'm a stage manager.
What's that like?
I could show you.
You wanna get outta here?
Erm...
You're so forward.
Uh...
Erm...
Yeah.
I'll get a cab.
Are we allowed to be in here?
Not really, but I
won't tell if you won't.
So...
So you pull the strings
from behind the scenes?
Yeah, pretty much.
Do things ever go
like horribly wrong?
Not when I'm around.
So what does the play
have to say about breakups?
That you never
really get over them.
[Olive sighing]
It's not a good play.
If they broke up, then
they weren't meant to be.
Hm, I don't know about that.
Are you a big believer in fate?
Soulmates and all that?
Well, I thought I was.
Now I'm not so sure.
Hmm.
I think there's a million
reasons why people split.
Same as there's a million reason
why people end up together.
Erm...
Why'd they break up?
One of them wants a kid,
and the other doesn't.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
[Olive] I see.
Do you like kids?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do.
Me too.
You know there is one
fun part in the play.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Come on, get up here,
we'll act it out.
- Okay.
- I know the whole thing.
Okay.
Okay, so the two characters,
they're in the..
Of a huge fight.
- Oh.
- So you are furious at me.
I hate you.
That's perfect.
You already know the line.
Okay, so then I say...
Well if you hate me so much,
then why are you still here?
- Spicy?
- Yeah.
Then what do I say?
Your character just
gets super flustered
and doesn't say anything.
[Olive] Easy, done.
And then out of
nowhere you just kiss me.
Oh.
Yeah, I mean it's a
little unexpected, but...
[gentle music]
Oh, sh*t.
[radio playing faintly]
- Hello?
- Hi.
Are you Benny?
Your place isn't
the easiest to find.
[Benny] Sorry about that.
Can I see it?
It's beautiful.
I love it.
I have the cash on me, but I
didn't really think through
how I'm going to
get it in the truck.
I can help you.
Do you have kids?
Probably saved a fortune
building all your own stuff.
Well, no.
We're real busy, you know.
Don't be scared if it happens.
You won't lose this
when you disappear.
[tense music]
What?
I said, don't be
scared if it happens.
The first couple years
are a little nutty,
but your workshop's
not going anywhere.
[Benny chuckling]
(Olive) So you
sold the cradle?
(Benny) Yeah.
That's really nice.
You did a really good job.
(Benny) Thanks.
That's something you're gonna
do more of, you think?
Yeah, if there's a
demand for it.
Yeah.
I would buy that cradle.
Okay.
Okay.
Well that's it?
Well it's a pretty loaded
thing for you to say.
It's not loaded.
It's my...
It's my clever way
of bringing it up
without scaring you off.
You think I get scared
off that easily?
Well ideally there
would be a second half
of this conversation,
but you're clearly
intent on sidestepping it, so...
(Benny) I don't
think that's true.
Benny, I tiptoe around this
because every time I
bring it up you shut down.
I'm just saying, it's a
conversation we could have.
Why are you yelling at me?
I'm not f*cking yelling at you
Having a conversation
isn't an attack.
Okay?
I'm not ambushing you.
I am not pressuring you.
I...
I just wanna talk about it.
I'm sorry, I don't
think I want a kid.
That's fine.
But every time I bring it
up, you get all defensive.
You're allowed to
change your mind.
You think we would
be good parents?
Yes, of course.
Do you think you
would be a good mom?
Hey
What the f*ck does that mean?
(Benny) I didn't
mean it like that.
No, no, Benny, how'd
you f*cking mean it?
(Benny) Not like that!
I would be a good mom.
[tense music]
[gentle music]
(Ada) Look Cece,
that's mama's friend, Olive.
(Olive) Hi, Cece.
It's so nice to
finally meet you.
[tense music]
Okay.
Okay.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
[phone ringing]
What the f*ck, you lost it
and ..
Stella.
[bell ringing]
There are no right
or wrong choic..
There's just things we do
and things that happen.
They can come and go, but
you, you are the constant.
And even that
is a little fuzzy,
and it just gets fuzzier
and fuzzier until
it's less of a blanket
and more of a fuzzy, fuzzy...
Thing.
Yeah, I remember.
[tense music]
So that you remember.
What is this?
[tense music]
That's something, all right.
Where'd you get off to?
I'm not sure.
You?
I've been here.
I think.
Hm.
That's beautiful.
I think I made it for you.
Hm.
That's not my house.
It's not your house.
It's yours though.
It's nice.
It is.
[Benny sighing]
Cece is Ada's daughter.
She's my daughter.
Yeah.
They're beautiful.
Yeah.
Hey, Liv.
I don't want to disappear.
[Christmas choir singing]
I love that.
The carols.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Mom used to take Stella
and I to mid..
I didn't think you were
Religious?
We weren't.
I think that's the only
time we went to ..
I hated it.
The carols, I like that part.
You wanna go?
Right now?
Yeah.
I think I'm feeling
kind of nostal..
Oh, you're serious.
Come on.
(Benny) We were
about to head home.
Yeah, no, that's fair.
Would you hate it
if I went anyway?
(Benny) By yourself?
Yeah.
(Benny) You can do
whatever you want,
but if you're set on
going, I'll go with you.
No, it's okay.
Go home.
Go to bed.
I'm not tired yet.
(Benny) Are you sure?
How you gonna get back?
I'll crash at Stella's.
You can come pick
me up in the morning.
(Benny) It feels weird
leaving you like this.
I'm a big girl, Benny.
I'll be all right.
(Benny) Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll see you in the morning.
[tense music]
Hey.
(Benny) Hey.
This isn't what happened.
You never came.
(Benny) I know.
This is it.
It's okay.
I don't wanna choose wrong.
I know.
Tell me about Ada and Cece.
Well Ada is...
Ada is my rock.
It may sound weird,
but I think you two
would've really gotten along.
[Benny chuckling]
As for Cece, she's eight
years old and a handful.
I love her.
I love her more than
I could ever imagine
was possible to love
something in this world.
She loves fairies, and
exploring, and playing pretend.
What else?
She loves when
I make her pancakes
with chocolate chips,
and the chocolate
chips are smiley faces.
She loves the outdoors.
And the magnets on the
fridge, those are hers.
Okay.
I don't wanna
make you disappear.
I don't know.
If it never happened then
it's not like disappearing.
Will we miss each other?
I think so.
Yeah.
I think so.
I am gonna sulk here, and
you are gonna go get some...
- Shots.
- Shots.
If in another
life I'm still me
and you're still you,
then that's okay I think.
I'm sorry.
Hey.
Yeah?
Can I get your
opinion on something
Benny?
It's okay.
If you wake up one morning
and remember a
man from your dream
that you can't quite place,
I hope you have the
thought that he woke up
from his dream
and thought of you.
I love you.
(Benny) I love you too.
I love you.
[Olive sobbing]
[Olive sobbing]
[engine rumbling]
[handbrake clicking]
[birds tweeting]
[door creaking]
(Ada) We're home.
Mama.
Oh, I'm sorry, who are you?
(Cece) That's not funny.
Well there's this girl,
she's celebrating
her birthday today.
I don't know if you've...
Have you seen her?
Have you seen her?
Who, the birthday girl?
- Yeah.
- Can't say that I have.
- Stop.
- Oh, okay.
Did you have a fun
morning with Mama?
Yeah, we brought lunch.
You did?
After lunch you said I
get to take my wagon out.
I said that?
I guess we have to then.
Okay, yeah.
[birds tweeting]
[wagon rattling]
[dramatic music]
[water lapping]
[door creaking]
[bell ringing]
[water lapping]
[gentle music]
(Cece) Look, it's
a wishing rock.
(Benny) Hello?
Hi.
What makes it a wishing rock?
(Cece) Erm...
(Cece) I don't know, it just is.
Okay, so I've heard great
things about this place.
I need your help.
I'll see what I can do.
(Cece) You throw
it in the water
and you get to make a wish.
Wow.
Well you'd better
make a wish then.
(Cece) No, this one's for you.
You don't want to?
Okay.
[water plopping]
(Olive) I have a soon to
be eight year old,
she's obsessed with the
woods behind our house,
and I was thinking we could
get her her very own wagon.
Something sturdy that she
can pull her stuff around.
But none of that
rinky dinky sh*t.
You know?
I think I have
something you'll like.
(Cece) You have
to make a wish.
My wish is already granted.
It's perfect.
[Benny chuckling]
