(BELL CHIMES)
Some people come into
your life as blessings.
Some come in as lessons.
Blessings are worth
shit all when it comes
to getting through life.
YOUNG HAILEY:
Mom.
Mom!
Look at me!
(GRUNTING)
HAILEY:
Every family
has its ups and downs,
and we are no different.
(BIRDS CHIRPING IN DISTANCE)
(HAILY SIGHS)
(BOTH GRUNTING)
HAILEY:
That's me.
That's Roger, my dad.
- The man with nine lives.
- (KISSES)
He died a bunch of times.
That's Olga, my mother.
All my life lessons
come from her.
And my sister, Rose.
We are so different.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
HAILEY:
As a child,
his heart was scarred
from rheumatic fever.
From then on, Roger's life
was measured in illnesses,
ailments, and deaths.
Why me, Lord?
(MONITOR BEEPING)

(MONITORS BEEPING)
(DEFIBRILLATOR HUMS)

HAILEY:
Through the graces of God,
or medical technology,
however you wanna look at i,
he was brought
back from the dead...
- ...just like Jesus...
- (EXCITING FANFARE)
HAILEY:
Well, more amazing.
Jesus only came up once.
(BLOWING NOISEMAKERS)
HAILEY:
Our first professional
family photo.
We are going to enjoy
this goddam day
whether it kills us or not.
HAILEY:
Mom saved up
for this for months.
- CAMERA WOMAN: Smile!
- (CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
Stupid kid.
(SIRENS WAILING)
HAILEY:
His heart was failing him.
Again.
It's been a long time
Since I saw you
But I remember it all
It's uselessness
Trying to forget
I turn every corner
Like you're just
round the bend
Empty sidewalks
And your memory again
You godforsaken mini Christer!
Get over here!
HAILEY:
I loved camping.
HAILY:
Drinking that beer!
(MONITOR BEEPING)
HAILEY:
Resurrection number nine.
(BOTTLES CLINK)
HAILEY:
He found his way
back to the living.
(ROGER LAUGHING)
HAILEY:
Nine times.
(NOISEMAKERS BLOWING)
HAILEY:
Mom took up judo.
Taught me how to break a fall.
After that,
when I got on her nerves,
over her shoulder I'd go.
(OLGA GRUNTING)
(BODY SLAMS)
OLGA:
Cole, get out of here!
Trish, what are you waiting for?
Buddy!
- (MONITOR BEEPING)
- (CHILDREN LAUGHING)
HAILEY:
After all those near deaths,
he quits his job,
and starts fishing.
- (MONITOR BEEPING)
- (ROGER SINGING)
- (FISHING LURE SPLASHES)
- (REEL CLICKING)
HAILEY:
The man could not swim.
Growing up surrounded by water,
he couldn't frickin' swim.
But this time, this one time,
because of my stupid hangover...
(BOTTLES CLINKING)
(BOTTLE SHATTERS)
HAILEY:
...he went without me.
ROGER:
It's six a.m.
The fish are jumping.
(HAILY GROANS)

ROSE:
Why me, Lord?
This is all your fault.
Get the Jesus off
the forsaken floor.
Mom!
Why is it my fault?
She effing blamed me.
Let's get you some food.
Come on, Rose.
HAILEY:
And after that,
I was so out of there.
Are you ready
Are you scared
Are you painfully aware
That you don't know
where you're going
But you're on your way
Hope for the best
Plan for the worst
Don't forget something
that'll quench your thirst
Remember that you
weren't always the one
Who knew what to say
And you don't know
where you're going
But you're on your way
I don't want to talk
to anybody right now.
No you don't know
where you're going
Wait, you got fired?
Cuts.
They made cuts.
Why would you think
that I got fired?
Are you steady
Are you not
SYD:
Dude, I don't care
about another job.
I care about you.
Something that you forgot
Are you worried?
HAILEY:
I don't need you
to take care of me, okay?
Okay well,
this is the perfect time
for this.
Are you anxious or immune
Are you easily
confused by anything
You want me to get
rid of this place?
Well, I mean.
I'm on tour so much.
I need somebody
to water my plants.
Clean my apartment.
What a dick.
(SYD LAUGHING)
(KISSING)
()
Love it when you wear
your vic secrets.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Hailey, this is...
HAILEY:
Rose?
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
I... I need you to come,
um, home.
Will, there's a will reading.
- HAILEY: Whose?
- ROSE: (ON PHONE) Mom's will.
- ROSE: (ON PHONE) Please...
- What'd she die of?
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Um, I just don't really want...
Who's that?
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Please, I need you here...
No, I... I can't. No.
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
You have to be here.
Please.
Can you do it without me?
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
No, I can't do this
without you.
- Hailey please, I need you...
- Was it quick?
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Hailey, Hailey...
- Rose. Rose!
- Please...
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
I need you here!
- Okay.
- ROSE: (ON PHONE) Yeah?
- I...
- ROSE: (ON PHONE) Okay!
Yes, I'll think it over.
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Oh, you promise?
Really. I promise. I will.
ROSE: (ON PHONE)
Okay, yeah. Bye.
- (CELL PHONE BEEPS)
- (HAILY SIGHS)
Babe, who was that?
Um.
Rose.
My sister.
Wait, you have a sister?
She wants me to come home
for the reading of the will.
Whose will?
Olga's.
And Olga is?
(SIGHS)
My mother.
I thought your mother
had already died.
I mean, I was under
the impression, Hailey,
that... that you
didn't have family.
Um, blood relatives, maybe.
But not a family.
(BELL CHIMES)
Just because
we're blood relatives
doesn't mean you
deserve my love.
You gotta work for it.
Grounded.
One more month.
I'm having a complex array
of emotions right now.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
So, when do you think
you'll fly?
(SCOFFS)
- Never.
- What?
Come on.
I mean, your sister
on the phone?
I could hear her
crying from here.
Oh, she's always been needy.
How could you not tell
me that you had a family?
Blood relatives.
Family is family.
Well, maybe I will go.
You know?
It'll be like a holiday
by the ocean.
Instead of a trip to hell,
which is probably
where she's headed.
You really shouldn't speak
about your mother that way.
No.
You wouldn't say
that if you met her.
(HORN HONKS)
(HAILY GROANS)
Are you sure you don't want me
to just come along?
No.
(KISSING)
What else don't I know
about you?
Bye.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Ocean blue
- I don't usually swim
- (AEROPLANE ENGINE WHOOSHIN)
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Ocean blue
(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)
I don't usually swim
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Starts as a feeling
And ends up a story
Strange to each other
And lost in a country
Lost in our bodies
With nothing to hold us
We drifted together
Out past the breakers
Ocean blue
I don't usually swim
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
- (BIRDS CHIRPING)
- (WIND CHIMES CLINKING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
Hailey.
You're here.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Is everything all right?
Y... yeah, look at you.
(NERVOUS CHUCKLE)
Don't you look fit and all?
Can't believe you're here.
Yeah, me too.
I didn't think you should have
to deal with this all alone.
Yeah.
That's kind of you.
Thanks.
(CHUCKLING)
Is everything all right?
Yes!
I'm just so gloriously
happy that you're here.
(CHUCKLES)
Come inside for now.
Let's get caught up on,
lots to talk about, I'm sure!
Your place is sweet.
(ROSE CHUCKLES)
And you look great.
I kind of thought you'd be
taking Mom's death more badly.
Tea?
All right.
Hmm.
Mom looks great here.
When's the reading of the will?
Soon.
(CHUCKLES)
Soon. Soon, soon.
Are you hungry?
Um, not really.
Let me see what I can get ya.
Are you okay?
ROSE:
Mm, uh.
Um, chamomile?
Rose.
Uh, I... I have black tea.
Green tea?
Jesus H-E double
hockey sticks Christ.
You better goddam
tell me what's up,
or I'm gonna kill you.
Monk's tea?
Tastes awful.
Major puke factor.
What is going on?
OLGA:
Who the hell is driving
this high and mighty
red sports car out here?
(TAKES A DRAG)
(BLOWING SMOKE)
(HAILEY ROARING)
- No!
What are you doing?
No!
(BOTH STRUGGLING)
Did you girls not do any...
Jesus, growing up?
Hailey!
- Let her go!
- (BOTH STRUGGLING)
I said let her go!
What am I doing here?
And why are you still alive?
Well, how am I supposed
to answer that?
I'm dying!
- Stop crying wolf already!
- Stop crying wolf already!
(HAILY GROANS)
ROSE:
No, no, no, no!
Please don't go!
(DOOR SLAMS)
(ROSE SIGHS)
Why did you come here?
I told you to stay away
until I called you
with the secret code word!
Well it was a stupid code word.
Now go get her.
No, you get out until I call you
with the code word!
I am not coming in
when you say Pamela Anderson.
Geraldo.
Use Geraldo.
Now go get her.
Geraldo.
Geraldo.
Nice one, Ma.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Dear God, why have you
forsaken me with these idiots?
ROSE:
I heard that!
(GULLS CALLING)
(WAVES CRASHING)
(HAILEY GRUNTING)
Why am I even here?
- I'm done.
- Hailey!
Wait.
There is a will.
Dad's, um, he left you the boat.
He... he wanted you
to have the boat.
You can't do this, Rose.
What about me?
I lost you too when Dad died.
You and Mom.
You never once called.
Never send a card.
Nothing.
For 10 years!
We hate phones and postal.
When Uncle Dickie died,
I called you!
Thanks.
ROSE:
I called you!
(WAVES CRASHING)

(HAILEY GRUNTS)
(KEYS CLINKING)
Give me the keys, Rose.
(HORN BLARING)
(ROSE HARMONISING WITH HORN)
(ROSE SINGING)
- (KICKS FOOT)
- ROSE: Ow!
Give me the keys,
you half-baked moron!
-No!
-Hailey-
-(HAILEY GRUNTING)
Hey!
Hailey!
Let go!
(BOTH STRUGGLING)
(HAILEY SHOUTS)
Give me!
No!
(KEYS CLINK)
(ROSE LAUGHS)
What?
- (ROSE LAUGHING)
- Oh.
(HAILEY ROARS)
(ROSE SNICKERING)
(WATER BOILING)
Why am I finding out just now?
We didn't know there
was one till now.
Ma found the will in
his bowling ball bag.
What am I gonna do with a boat
in a landlocked city?
Dad left it for you.
It's yours to do what you want.
You don't have to take
it if you don't want it.
Final voyage?
Where's the boat, then?
That's a tricky question.
Remember Philly and Dave,
the guys we used to get
our lobster from?
Mm-hmm.
- Ma gave it to them.
- Why the hell did she do that?
Well, I'm sure if she knew
there was a will,
she wouldn't have done that.
You want the boat?
Didn't think you'd want it,
'cause, you know, stuff.
I don't know.
Does she still blame me?
For what?
Dad.
You're projecting.
It's when you put your
feelings onto someone else
making you think that
it's actually their feelings,
but really it's not.
But yours.
Who are you?
I betcha you still
blame yourself.
Hey, I'm right.
Wha?
(PHONE DIALLING)
Geraldo.
Geraldo!
(ROSE CLEARS THROAT)
Geraldo!
Shut it and back away.
I heard you the first time.
(OLGA SIGHS)
Now are you goin' or stayin'?
Stayin'.
Goin'.
Runnin' again.
You don't want me here.
She's the one that cooked up
the idea to get you here.
Huh.
Then ask me nicely,
and I'll stay.
You have got to be kidding me.
You stay because you want to.
Don't go blaming me
for your stupid choices.
Ma.
Take her to see Philly,
and she'll stay.
Ask me to stay.
Philly?
He moved to the city.
Like so many others who
abandoned their family roots.
No, Ma.
Not that Philly.
The dead Philly from the inlet?
No.
The other dead one.
Hello?
- With the boat?
- Mm-hmm.
Why by Jesus would I
wanna see the other Philly?
How should I know what you want?
I know nothing about you.
Maybe you're rich,
maybe you're married.
ROSE:
Ma.
Maybe I'm a grandmother
and don't know it.
Ma!
How on God's green earth
did you find that out?
Are you really?
Limp-wristed?
Lesbian, Mom.
Say lesbian.
Lesbian.
What?
Marshall's sister
Wendy's cousin Mallory's
ex-boyfriend Hamish,
from the cove, not the tip,
was in Banff on the run
from the Mounties.
Long story.
Anyway,
met you at headbanging bar.
Tried to pick you up,
and you said, "Go eff yourself.
"I'm a dyke."
What?
Oh, yeah.
That was aeons ago.
And it made its way back here.
It made the gossip page.
Well, that's what
cities will do to you.
Make you go all
off and hedonistic.
And the backwoods will make
you back-ass and ignorant.
Is that why you ran off?
Because you're a bean flickerer?
- Ugh.
- ROSE: Lobster.
Tomorrow.
We'll take you for lobster,
and you to see Philly
and find the boat.
All right.
Call me when you're ready.
HAILEY:
Don't you have work?
OLGA:
Tomorrow!
Don't keep me waiting.
Call it a vacation.
Sunshine, a coastal drive
like the olden days.
Life cannot get any better.

(HORN HONKING)
Mom!
No you don't.
She will get carsick
and complain,
and I can't take it
when she's whiny, so out.
You know she really
doesn't get sick.
She just wants the front.
She gets nothing
much in her life,
so let her get the front.
Where the hell is she?
(HORN HONKING)
Ma, stop it already.
She'll be here.
God.
You are the most
impatient person ever.
I deserve a medal for
the patience I endured
dealing with you two.
That girl has no sense of time.
You know, I read
a study about people
who have no sense of time.
Turns out the commonality
between them
is they never received
loving touch in their youth.
Jesus Christ, Hailey.
I was a woman of wisdom
as opposed to warmth.
Remember what I gave you
for your 18th birthday?
Advice.
I gave you advice.
- Good advice.
- Oh.
(BELL CHIMES)
I may have screwed you up,
but now that you're 18,
you're old enough to go
and fix yourself.
My job is done.
You're welcome.
Seems to me you
didn't take my advice.
Best gift ever, Ma.
(HORN BLARING)
(HAILY GROANS)
Stop!
What's on her head?
OLGA:
She knit it,
so shut your pie hole.
Sunshine lollipop
kinda day, wha?
Hailey!
Give it back!
(Rose groaning)
Let me rest
On your door
Let me crash
On your shore
Let me wake
On the floor
And dream
Forevermore
Take me down to
your water's edge
Take me down to
your water's edge
Well you know that
everything changes
As soon as you
drink from my cup
And I will not be unhappy
As long as you
give me enough
Oh, as long as
you give me enough
()
(GULLS CALLING)
Make sure you get
all the details.
Don't tell me what to do.
Cal!
How are you?
Hey.
Bring it here.
Is someone hugging her?
Well, she can be charming.
I wish some of that
rubbed off on me.
I bet he throws in at
least two free lobsters.
Olga!
Okay, here's an extra
couple for you.
HAILEY:
Unbelievable.
Hurry up.
Hurry! She's almost here!
- Quick!
- Open the goddam trunk.
Open it!
- Open it, hurry!
- God, okay!
You look like you've been
through the Boer War.
Any news on the boat?
Cal said Philly died,
but that he left the
boat with his daughter
for good-keeping.
It's that slut friend of yours.
- Trish?
- Her. Yup.
She's in the family trailer.
Oh, well can we go now
to Trish's.
There are lobsters
boxed in there
suffering for you, for us,
and right now, their
lives are more important,
than you, or than yours,
or than anybody's.
So go there tomorrow when you
don't have to inconvenience
me, your sister,
or the lobsters.
(WATER BOILING)
You gotta be ready.
Ready to move left,
ready to move right,
just remember,
stay out of her way.
OLGA:
Don't you make my life
any harder
than it already is!
Lobster Day is so much worse
than drunken Christmas day.
OLGA:
Dear god.
(ROSE WHIMPERS)
OLGA:
Just die!
Why doesn't she just stop
eating them?
Or buy them cooked?
Sacrilege.
Do not ever say anything
like that in front of her.
It is her only joy in the world.
But she's killing them.
Just zip it.
OLGA:
Two more!
Now!
Does she still support PETA?
Uh-huh.
OLGA:
You guys do not do anything
I asked?
- Hurry, hurry!
- Okay, stop yelling!
Get out of my way.

- Here you go.
- Okay.
Give me some of that.
(ICE CLINKING)
You were a good swimmer, Hails.
You remember?
Maybe if you'd been there,
you could've saved him.
All right, Ma.
You win.
I'm out of here.
You can't leave me alone here.
Look what I have to deal with.
She blames me.
She's angry you left, Hails.

(CHILD THUMPING)
How many you got?
Oh, just four little Lucifers.
Never thought
I'd be seeing you again.
Me neither.
CHILD 1:
Mommy, I gotta poop,
but Joey's still
in the bathroom!
God's country is one big toilet.
Go outside and find a nice place
for a shitter.
CHILD 1:
No, no, no, no, no!
Um, maybe I'll drop by later?
Oh, it's never
quiet around here.
Now's as good a time as any.
(CHUCKLES)
(CHILDREN THUMPING
AND SCREAMING)
Yeah, kids are such
pansies these days.
Not that being a pansy's wrong,
or anything.
You heard, too.
Jesus girl, it
was in the papers.
(HAILY SIGHS)
You don't look any gayer.
It's true?
True, yup.
You're brave coming back here.
Gotta face our demons
sometime though, don't ya?
Hey,
let's do a baloney barbecue.
We can get the gang together,
and I'll lock these
little scallywags
in the barn for the night.
Is the gang still here?
Oh, they sure are.
Cole, of course.
Buddy is here,
and by here, I mean here.
I married him.
- Oh?
- Yeah, well.
When he knocked me up
with kid number three,
I... I made him tie the knot.
(CHILDREN SHOUTING)
(TOY LASERS FIRING)
CHILD 2:
Mommy!
Stop being such a goddam
mini Christer!
I heard that your dad died.
I'm sorry about that.
Yeah, too much
drinking and smoking.
Um, do you happen to know
anything about my dad's boat?
I heard that your father had it.
Oh, he totally did.
Uh, it's, it's in the shed.
On Cole's land.
Ah.
Haven't seen him yet, eh?
Well, he'll puke rainbows,
he'll be so happy to see you.
Do you want a tea and toast?
Oh, uh, no thanks.
Um, do you know
where I can find him?
Same place he's always been.
(KNOCKING ON WINDOW)
(HAILEY SIGHING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Ta-da.
(HAILEY LAUGHING)
I thought you'd hate seeing me.
I do.
I really do.
(BOTH CHUCKLING)
God love a duck, Hailey.
I thought I'd never
see you again.
Me neither, actually.
Holy hell.
How's it possible
you look even better
than you did before?
Oh, shut up.
(COLE LAUGHING)
Oh.
Come here.
Come inside.
Say hi to Bill.
Sorry about the missing teeth.
Cece had a date last night.
You remember Cece?
Yeah, she had a date last night.
She's missing the same ones, so.
Anyway, you make yourself...
Make yourself at home.
(SPORTS GAME PLAYING ON TV)
What happened to Bill's leg?
I'm lame, not deaf.
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
Damn diabetes took it last year.
HAILEY:
God.
I'm sorry to hear that, Bill.
Yeah well,
I got a seat everywhere I go.
You always were a glass
half full kinda guy.
It's been a dog's age
since I seen you.
HAILEY:
I know.
It's been a while.
I've been, um, living out West.
Part of the exodus.
I guess you could
call it that, yeah.
Let's go.
Take it easy, Bill.
Nothing but.
HAILEY:
You taking care of him
all the time?
Well, no one else would do it.
You're a saint.
He's my dad.
Do you have a limp?
It's a long story.
How's your mom?
She doing okay?
Same as always.
I love that woman to bits,
you know that?
(HAILEY SCOFFS)
Listen.
I know that I was
and am an idiot.
I shouldn't have
shot off like that.
I shoulda let you know
that I was out of here.
Hey, hey.
I know how hard it was on you,
losing your dad.
You two were pretty tight.
Life goes on, Hails.
Do you happen
to have my dad's boat?
Ah.
The boat.
I do.
I've been keeping it
safe for your return.
My return.
BILL:
Are you trying to starve me
to death?
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
It's feeding time.
Which is a joy,
compared to some of the other
shit I gotta do, but.
Doesn't matter to me.
Family's family.
Next time you come by,
I'll take you to the boat, okay?
Yeah?
You staying at your mom's?
Begrudgingly.
How about tonight?
After dinner?
BILL:
Bring me a beer, too!
Blossom, you staying for dinner?
No, Bill!
I got some stuff I gotta do.
BILL:
All right, then.
Maybe next time?
How about you take me
to that boat?
Come by tomorrow.
I gotta take Bill to a tarbish
competition tonight.
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
Classic.
I heard, uh, a rumour
that you were, uh...
Selfish?
Pushy?
I'm still holding
out for you, Hails.
It's gonna be a long wait.
Just how queer though?
Because I heard,
some-someone told me
there was like, degrees,
like a spectrum?
Yeah, I'm super gay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Well.
Tomorrow's closer
than yesterday, huh?
You'll see it soon enough,
the boat.
The boat.
Okay.
Say hi to Olga for me, okay?
She always did love me
better than you.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
True.
(DOOR CLOSES)
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
You called.
Guess what?
I found the boat.
SYD: (ON PHONE)
Babe, that's great news.
What's it like?
I don't know,
I haven't seen it yet.
But Cole's been
storing it for me,
and he's gonna take
me there tomorrow.
SYD:
Your childhood sweetheart?
I mean, the guy you kinda left
at the alter, so to speak?
Yeah, him.
SYD: (ON PHONE)
How was seeing him?
Easier than expected.
I mean, he's been storing
my boat for me all these yea.
Wow.
Why?
HAILEY: (ON PHONE)
I mean,
he knew I'd want it someday.
He knows you that well?
HAILEY: (ON PHONE)
I guess so.
I mean, we did grow up together.
(SIGHS)
I'm nervous.
SYD: (ON PHONE)
About seeing the boat?
Coffin, as Olga calls it.
SYD: (ON PHONE)
Harsh.
I know.
I'll let you know how it goes.
SYD: (ON PHONE)
Hey, do I need to worry
about anything?
Like, Cole?
He's helping me, Syd.
Okay.
Well, I can't wait to hear
more about the boat.
I love you.
(HAILEY MAKES KISSING SOUND)
(HAILY SIGHS)
Okay.
A.M.
Hello, Miss Rose.
You look wonderful today.
Hello, John Henry.
That's lovely.
You must love working around
so many beautiful books.
You don't see many
like that anymore.
I thought you'd like it.
This one just came
in this morning.
Matter of fact,
it came in for you.
Shakespeare.
Maybe tea later?
(ROSE GIGGLES)
Doesn't he seem like a nice man?
When you've got it,
you should flaunt it!
(LAUGHING)
HAILEY:
Oh gosh, you little minx.
And while you're making sure
that those arms are circulating.
Hailey!
That slut friend of
yours had the boat?
And front.
Um, what are you wearing?
And forward.
Belly dancing.
I gotta teach belly dancing.
Got a problem with that?

You teach people?
Come dance with us!
FRANNY:
Hailey!
Look what the cat dragged in!
Franny, get over here.
Franny!
Jiggle your arse
back in here, girl.
- Catch up later.
- Okay.
- We'll see you.
- Yeah.
OLGA:
Now we're gonna try
the movement from side to sid,
just with the feet
in the middle,
but always being aware of
what the hands are doing.
They're like serpents, writhe
like sexual organs, ladies.
Hips are like water.
You hear that?
Franny, I know you do.
Get in there.
Anyway, back to belly.
Up, that's it.

What happened?
Well, our Olga
was never very good
at accepting help.
Isn't that right, sister?
How about we let her rest?
(ALL MURMURING)
Keep her hydrated,
the stress down, rest.
She should see a doctor
for a checkup ASAP.
I'll make sure of it.
Thanks.
She must be so happy
to have you back home.
I know how much she misses you.
Really?
It's a shame you were
born with such a handicap.
Your mother.
She never really
learned how to express
positive feelings
very well, did she?
You get your hypersensitivity
from your dad.
Also a curse.
Well, I'll leave you be.
You call me if you
need anything, okay?
Thanks, Franny.
She really should see
her doctor though.
- Take her in soon, okay?
- I will.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Okay.
FRANNY:
Good Lord!
Johnny?
Who would do this to you?
It was Hailey.
FRANNY:
Here, I'll unlock you

Now no more downhill, okay?
Okay.
Let's go.
Oh my god.
That Hailey.
HAILEY:
She's okay?
I fainted, so what?
Ugh, I'm fine.
Go away.

ROSE:
Well, it sounds like Syd
is good for you.
I'm used to being ignored,
and Syd totally smothers me.
- With love.
- Yeah.
Lucky you.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Because Dad died too soon
and left you in utter pain,
unmanageable, really,
you figure if you ever
love someone that much again,
and they die
for whatever reason,
you're gonna have to go
through all that pain again,
making you think that
life is probably easier
if you never love
anyone anymore,
so you subconsciously
sabotage yourself,
never letting yourself
love or be loved
so you never have
to feel that pain.
Wow.
I should be a therapist.
Uh.
That's a sad life, isn't it?
Don't make me sound so pathetic.
I... look, I love Syd.
And I'm just not used to someone
showing so much love so easily.
- Calling bullshit.

Babe, I've never seen you
drunk before.
Babe, listen.
This place is so screwed.
It just proves how
messed up my family,

Will you still want me
even though you see
how messed up we are?
And, and can I stay perfect
in your pretty eyes?
Oh babe, come here.

Look.
Memo update.
I know you, Hailey.
Nothing about here
is gonna change that.
Back to your sister.

we shouldn't be worried?
Hailey, the woman
wrote a suicide note
in red lipstick.
Oh, she just does that.

- Yeah.
Look, I'm so sorry for...
- Everything?
- Yeah, I know.
I know.

Oh, Rose.
She left one of her notes.
Don't look at me like that.

Hailey was gonna let me die.

Mallory's ex-boyfriend Hamish.
Him.
That you were gay-ish.

All I want is for Rose to have
someone next to her
when I'm gone.
Soon you'll be her only family.
Yeah, well at least
you two had each other.
You made your decision.

and the last thing I got to t
was barbecued baloney?

to make a person,
I don't know, nicer.

Great!
Olga, you are looking great.

much for you, huh?

I didn't think that
I was worth it.

I'm sorry.
I am so sorry...
...for everything,

I did this.
No. Come here.

I see these colours

I am this wonder
Everything I love
is in my life
No, I cannot lie
No, I cannot lie,

Stop trying to be special.
Now, according to feng shui,
we should place it right here.
In the west.
Why not in the east?
No.

Place it in the east,
it'll bring more kids around.
I sure as hell don't want that.

You said he drowned!
Yeah, I did.
After he had a goddam
heart attack.
What difference does it make?
He died.
Alone.
One way or the other,
he would have died.
You made me feel guilty
for not being there!
I can't make you feel anything!
I didn't find out till
nearly a year later,
and then what
difference did it make?
If I was there, I could've
saved him from drowning,
not heart failure.
Well I wasn't thinking of that.
- I'm not perfect, you know.
- Yeah, that's for sure.
Hailey, sometimes
you just gotta buck up
and face reality.
We all live in reality here.
Me, your father, Rose, Cole...
I can't believe you conned me
into coming back here.
Don't look at me.
It was Mom.
- I just made the call.
- Yeah, right.
Because I want you to
have peace, arseholes.
I want Rose to feel safe and
have someone when I'm gone.
Hailey, there are big pains
when you face your
problems head on,
but they go away eventually.
They linger forever
when you run.
Don't talk to me about
facing your problems.
It is way worse to be
abandoned by somebody
who was right next to you.
No love.
No touch.
You made me feel like
I was never good enough,
like I couldn't win,
like I couldn't find
a way to make you love me,
and that's all
that I ever wanted.
I just wanted you to love me!
I do.
Do what?
You weren't the easiest kid
to love.
Oh!
I did the best I could.
Okay?
I'm sorry I didn't love you
the way you wanted.
But I didn't know
that I had a choice,
or I could love any different.
Least you had a father
who loved you.
And you had food on the table.
Think it was easy for me,
picking my father up off
the floor every night,
and putting him to bed?
Quitting school at 15
so I could get a job
to help my mother?
Franny and I didn't
have the privilege
to run away like you.
Oh, Hailey!

Strange to each other
And lost in a country
Lost in our bodies
With nothing to hold us
We drifted together
Out past the breakers

But I followed you in, boy

Oh, oh

Hold all our secrets

Pulled down in them
When I look to the memories
I get tangled under
When I hold onto you
Then I start sinking

If you wanna find me
I'm at the bottom
I'm alone in the memories

Are you painfully aware
That you don't know

Okay well,

I thought your mother
had already died.
I mean, I was under
the impression, Hailey,
that... that you
didn't have family.
Um, blood relatives, maybe.
But not a family.
(BELL CHIMES)
Just because
we're blood relatives
doesn't mean you
deserve my love.
You gotta work for it.

One more month.
I'm having a complex array

Yeah, me too.
Me too.
So, when do you think
you'll fly?

- What?
Come on.
I mean, your sister
on the phone?
I could hear her
crying from here.
Oh, she's always been needy.
How could you not tell
me that you had a family?
Blood relatives.
Family is family.
Well, maybe I will go.
You know?
It'll be like a holiday
by the ocean.
Instead of a trip to hell,
which is probably
where she's headed.
You really shouldn't speak
about your mother that way.
No.
You wouldn't say
that if you met her.

Dad left it for you.
It's yours to do what you want.
You don't have to take
it if you don't want it.
Final voyage?
Where's the boat, then?
That's a tricky question.
Remember Philly and Dave,
the guys we used to get
our lobster from?
Mm-hmm.
- Ma gave it to them.
- Why the hell did she do that?
Well, I'm sure if she knew
there was a will,
she wouldn't have done that.
You want the boat?
Didn't think you'd want it,
'cause, you know, stuff.
I don't know.
Does she still blame me?
For what?
Dad.
You're projecting.
It's when you put your
feelings onto someone else
making you think that
it's actually their feelings,
but really it's not.
But yours.
Who are you?
I betcha you still
blame yourself.

You stay because you want to.
Don't go blaming me

Philly?
He moved to the city.
Like so many others who
abandoned their family roots.
No, Ma.
Not that Philly.
The dead Philly from the inlet?
No.
The other dead one.
Hello?
- With the boat?

Why by Jesus would I
wanna see the other Philly?
How should I know what you want?
I know nothing about you.
Maybe you're rich,
maybe you're married.

Maybe I'm a grandmother

Are you really?

from the Mounties.
Long story.
Anyway,
met you at headbanging bar.
Tried to pick you up,
and you said, "Go eff yourself.
"I'm a dyke."
What?
Oh, yeah.
That was aeons ago.
And it made its way back here.
It made the gossip page.
Well, that's what
cities will do to you.
Make you go all
off and hedonistic.
And the backwoods will make
you back-ass and ignorant.
Is that why you ran off?
Because you're a bean flickerer?
- Ugh.
- ROSE: Lobster.
Tomorrow.
We'll take you for lobster,
and you to see Philly

Me neither.

Mommy, I gotta poop,

God's country is one big toilet.
Go outside and find a nice place
for a shitter.

No, no, no, no, no!
Um, maybe I'll drop by later?
Oh, it's never

Now's as good a time as any.

You don't look any gayer.
It's true?
True, yup.
You're brave coming back here.
Gotta face our demons

Hey,
let's do a baloney barbecue.
We can get the gang together,

Is the gang still here?
Oh, they sure are.
Cole, of course.
Buddy is here,

I heard that your father had it.
Oh, he totally did.
Uh, it's, it's in the shed.
On Cole's land.
Ah.
Haven't seen him yet, eh?
Well, he'll puke rainbows,
he'll be so happy to see you.

Yeah, she had a date last night.
She's missing the same ones, so.
Anyway, you make yourself...
Make yourself at home.

What happened to Bill's leg?
I'm lame, not deaf.
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
Damn diabetes took it last year.
HAILEY:
God.
I'm sorry to hear that, Bill.
Yeah well,
I got a seat everywhere I go.
You always were a glass
half full kinda guy.
It's been a dog's age
since I seen you.
HAILEY:
I know.
It's been a while.
I've been, um, living out West.
Part of the exodus.
I guess you could
call it that, yeah.
Let's go.
Take it easy, Bill.
Nothing but.
HAILEY:
You taking care of him
all the time?
Well, no one else would do it.
You're a saint.
He's my dad.
Do you have a limp?
It's a long story.
How's your mom?
She doing okay?
Same as always.
I love that woman to bits,
you know that?
(HAILEY SCOFFS)
Listen.
I know that I was
and am an idiot.
I shouldn't have
shot off like that.
I shoulda let you know
that I was out of here.
Hey, hey.
I know how hard it was on you,
losing your dad.
You two were pretty tight.
Life goes on, Hails.
Do you happen
to have my dad's boat?
Ah.
The boat.
I do.
I've been keeping it
safe for your return.
My return.
BILL:
Are you trying to starve me
to death?
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
It's feeding time.
Which is a joy,
compared to some of the other
shit I gotta do, but.
Doesn't matter to me.
Family's family.
Next time you come by,
I'll take you to the boat, okay?
Yeah?
You staying at your mom's?
Begrudgingly.
How about tonight?
After dinner?
BILL:
Bring me a beer, too!
Blossom, you staying for dinner?
No, Bill!
I got some stuff I gotta do.
BILL:
All right, then.
Maybe next time?
How about you take me
to that boat?
Come by tomorrow.
I gotta take Bill to a tarbish
competition tonight.
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
Classic.
I heard, uh, a rumour
that you were, uh...
Selfish?
Pushy?
I'm still holding
out for you, Hails.
It's gonna be a long wait.
Just how queer though?
Because I heard,
some-someone told me
there was like, degrees,
like a spectrum?
Yeah, I'm super gay.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Well.
Tomorrow's closer
than yesterday, huh?
You'll see it soon enough,

But Cole's been

I mean, the guy you kinda left
at the alter, so to speak?
Yeah, him.

How was seeing him?
Easier than expected.
I mean, he's been storing
my boat for me all these yea.
Wow.

at accepting help.
Isn't that right, sister?
How about we let her rest?
(ALL MURMURING)
Keep her hydrated,
the stress down, rest.
She should see a doctor
for a checkup ASAP.
I'll make sure of it.
Thanks.
She must be so happy
to have you back home.
I know how much she misses you.
Really?
It's a shame you were
born with such a handicap.
Your mother.
She never really
learned how to express
positive feelings
very well, did she?
You get your hypersensitivity
from your dad.
Also a curse.
Well, I'll leave you be.
You call me if you
need anything, okay?
Thanks, Franny.
She really should see
her doctor though.
- Take her in soon, okay?

Well, it sounds like Syd
is good for you.
I'm used to being ignored,
and Syd totally smothers me.
- With love.
- Yeah.
Lucky you.
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Because Dad died too soon
and left you in utter pain,
unmanageable, really,
you figure if you ever
love someone that much again,
and they die
for whatever reason,
you're gonna have to go
through all that pain again,
making you think that
life is probably easier
if you never love
anyone anymore,
so you subconsciously
sabotage yourself,
never letting yourself
love or be loved
so you never have
to feel that pain.
Wow.
I should be a therapist.
Uh.
That's a sad life, isn't it?
Don't make me sound so pathetic.
I... look, I love Syd.
And I'm just not used to someone
showing so much love so easily.

TRISH:
I feel like we have a surplus
of beer, but I feel like...
- ...we could take it all.
- We're gonna get through it.
And we have...
- Hey!
- No!
Get outta there!
(playing gentle guitar music)
Last time I checked
There weren't no
cure for dying
Your mom's still got it.
Get you any closer to a god
you'll never know
He's doing good, eh?
Cole?
Right, why would you know?
What?
He was in a car accident.
The teeth and limp.
It was a few years before
he could walk this well.
I need silence,
I need silence
From the night
of living loud
When did it happen?
Crack of thunder, ravens cry
Sanctuary when the crowns
are shining
I'm Tired.
I'm gonna go home.
Come on, Rose.
Let's go.
ROSE:
Can we at least do an uplifting
song before we go?
No, going home.
TRISH:
Stay for dessert!
I got stuff I gotta do tomorrow.
Hailey, you should stay.
I'm sure Cole will
drive you home.
- No, I'll come with you.
- No, you should stay.
Oh, Rose will drive you then.
I can damn well drive myself.
- Let me drive her.
- Oh, okay!
Come on, Mom. Let's go.
Syd will drive us home.
(DOGS BARKING)
Who's gonna talk
about the big queer
flaming pink
elephant in the room?
You're such a dickwad
arsehole douchebag.
Idiots.
Well?
What's Syd?
A girl, a boy, a...
You are so backwoods.
For one, stop calling grown
adults boys and girls.
Hmm.
Well?
Syd is a human being
with a big heart.
Y'all need to grow the hell up.
You can't ask
questions like that.
- Hey Buddy?
- Hmm?
How long is your dick?
(BUDDY LAUGHS)
I knew she wasn't
gonna answer that.
Show me the money.
May you all rot in hell.
(ALL LAUGHING)
I didn't know you
were in an accident.
Mom's on her way out, eh?
Cole.
She's a fractured,
faulted human,
but she is your mother.
Would it kill you
to stick around?
Help Rose out?
It's not like I wanna be chained
to my old man's waterworks bag.
Stop changing the topic.
Wanna go park'n?
Why didn't you tell me
you were in an accident?
(COLE SIGHS)
It was a long time ago.
All parts are working now.
Cole.
Rose told me your mom
was a little harsh on you,
and you took off.
I always worry about you, Hails.
So Johnny and I
went after you, but,
it was too dark, too sad.
Too lost.
Too foggy.
Too high.
Johnny.
Doesn't matter now.
Just another story.
That's what life is, Hails.
We're just stories
stitched together.
Johnny's a happy guy.
Hey, he's a happy guy.
He loves flying down
that hill, though.
Scares the living
shit right out of me.
Did you ever look back?
()
(HAILEY PANTING)
'Cause I waited.
Thought I might hear from you.
A letter,
or a call or something.
Did I mean anything to you?
Why are you not saying anything?
It's... it's too much.
Hearing how you affected my life
is just a little too
much for you, huh?
Well I did have Olga
as an emotional mentor.
(COLE CHUCKLES)
Cole?
I didn't think that
I was worth it.
It's the truth.
Worthy of love by anybody.
And that's not an excuse
for how I treated you.
I'm sorry.
I am so sorry...
...for everything,
and know that I loved you,
then and now.
Like a brother.
I... I did this to you,
and Johnny.
I did this.
No. Come here.
(SOBS)
It's okay.
()
Hey.
I'm an awful person.
I know.
It's okay.
Now I'm giving this a try
When I wake up,
I see this wonder
Everything you
brought into my life
When I wake up,
I see these colours
Waking up the sun
that shines
When I wake up,
I am this wonder
Everything I love
is in my life
No, I cannot lie
No, I cannot lie,
I want to give to me
No, I cannot lie,
no I cannot lie
Mom?
Mom.
Come on.
Come and see what I got you.
We, Rose.
(ROSE GIGGLES)
What?
OLGA:
Holy Christ.
You like it?
Love it.
How'd you know?
Syd, come on.
Help Hailey get this out.
Okay.
I know exactly where
I'm gonna put it.
Wasn't that nice
of your sister, Hailey?
I'm the one that knows
you like the Buddha, Ma.
Rose had no idea.
OLGA:
Stop trying to be special.
Now, according to feng shui,
we should place it right here.
In the west.
Why not in the east?
No.
Jesus.
Place it in the east,
it'll bring more kids around.
I sure as hell don't want that.
Oh yeah, such
burdens are the youth.
Hailey!
Get your skinny ass in gear and
bring that Buddha over here.
Okay.
Okay.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
(BOTH GRUNT)
Okay.
Well, that's nice.
St. Francis has a friend.
Hey, ladies.
- Oh, hey Franny.
- Hey, Franny.
Hi, Franny.
What is that?
That is the Buddha.
Yes, I know that, Olga.
But why?
You're Catholic.
I'm a child
of the universe, Franny.
Labels are for jars.
Wasn't it a Buddhist who
went up to the hot dog stand
and said make me
one with everything?
(HAILEY LAUGHS)
So, are we ready for bingo?
Oh yeah.
- Feeling lucky.
- Yeah!
Ooh!
Onward!
B-I-N-G-O.
ROSE:
Shotgun!
What if we stayed?
Just while we fix up the boat?
I don't want to live here.
Oh, no.
- Me neither.
- Okay.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Home for the holidays.
- For sure, for sure.
- Promise.
(WAVES CRASHING)
()
The beauty suck, suck,
suck, sucked out of it.
Dead, dead, dead, dead like Dad.
What are we gonna
do about the boat?
We start somewhere.
(HAILY SIGHS)
Okay.
(FLAMES CRACKLING)
Well hello, girls.
I mean, people.
(HAILEY GASPS)
SYD:
Oh.
(ROSE GIGGLING)
(CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING)
Dad?
I think you should have him.
You were his favourite person.
Ma!

Dad would've liked that.
Yeah.
Anybody want another beer?
Top me up.
Get over here.
You're all right.
Stupid kid.

You said he drowned!
Yeah, I did.
After he had a goddam
heart attack.
What difference does it make?
He died.
Alone.
One way or the other,
he would have died.
You made me feel guilty
for not being there!
I can't make you feel anything!
I didn't find out till
nearly a year later,
and then what
difference did it make?
If I was there, I could've
saved him from drowning,
not heart failure.
Well I wasn't thinking of that.
- I'm not perfect, you know.
- Yeah, that's for sure.
Hailey, sometimes
you just gotta buck up
and face reality.
We all live in reality here.
Me, your father, Rose, Cole...
I can't believe you conned me
into coming back here.
Don't look at me.
It was Mom.
- I just made the call.
- Yeah, right.
Because I want you to
have peace, arseholes.
I want Rose to feel safe and
have someone when I'm gone.
Hailey, there are big pains
when you face your
problems head on,
but they go away eventually.
They linger forever
when you run.
Don't talk to me about
facing your problems.
It is way worse to be
abandoned by somebody
who was right next to you.
No love.
No touch.
You made me feel like
I was never good enough,
like I couldn't win,
like I couldn't find
a way to make you love me,
and that's all
that I ever wanted.
I just wanted you to love me!
I do.
Do what?
You weren't the easiest kid
to love.
Oh!
I did the best I could.
Okay?
I'm sorry I didn't love you
the way you wanted.
But I didn't know
that I had a choice,
or I could love any different.
Least you had a father
who loved you.
And you had food on the table.
Think it was easy for me,
picking my father up off
the floor every night,
and putting him to bed?
Quitting school at 15
so I could get a job
to help my mother?
Franny and I didn't
have the privilege
to run away like you.
Oh, Hailey!
(OLGA SIGHS)
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
JOHNNY:
Hailey!
I'm going down!
HAILEY:
Hey Johnny!
You want some company!
JOHNNY:
Come here, come on!
Hurry up!
Let's go!
(tense music)
HAILEY:
I'm coming!

- Better go help.
- Yeah.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
It's okay.
(ALL LAUGHING)
(OLGA LAUGHING)
I'm gonna go lay down.
It's okay.
Oh my god.
(ALL LAUGHING)
HAILEY:
Olga died soon after.
Treat everyday
like it's your last,
because one day you'll
be dead as a doorknob,
and useless to the rest of us.
(SLURPS)
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Here's Olga.
Together again.
HAILEY:
John Henry started
hanging around more.
I thank the high
heavens for that.
I've come to pay my respects.
Hello, John Henry.
You look very handsome
in your funeral clothes.
- Same goes to you.
- (ROSE GIGGLES)
- It's good to see you.
- You too.
Thanks.
A toast to Olga.
(ROSE GIGGLES)
May she drive God as crazy
as she did all of us.
(ALL LAUGHING)
- Amen.
- Amen!
- Oh!
- (LAUGHING)
Oh!
JOHN HENRY:
Got me too.
ROSE:
Oh, you are part
of the family now.
HAILEY:
One last thing to do.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
- Okay, hold it like this.
- All right.
COLE:
A little higher.
- HAILEY: Higher?
- COLE: Yeah, yeah.
HAILEY:
There?
Yeah, aim it right for the bow.
I shouldn't, right?
Shoot 'it, Blossom, do it!
- (HAILEY LAUGHS)
- Blow it up!
Blow that motherfucker up!
Ready?

And I'll write you
Write you from a train
I'll write you
The rhythm of the rain
A poem with no metre
and no verse
A love letter
(KISSING)
With no words
Days, the days pass
in a haze
Making up the maze
Of memories
Again, I think of you again
I wonder when
I wonder when
And I'll write
I'll write you from a train
And I'll write you
The rhythm of the rain
A poem with no metre
and no verse
CREW:
Alpha mark.
Well you know that
everything changes
As soon as you
drink from my cup
(INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO)
And all that be
All that be
As long as you get me
enough
Oh, as long as you get me
enough
Uh-huh, as long as
you get me enough
Uh-Huh, as long as
you get me enough
Ooh!
(LAUGHS)
Love that song.
Safe to say I was listening to
the wrong water's edge song.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Listening to "Smoke on
the Water", weren't you?
(ALL LAUGHING)
It was definitely metal.
Definitely.

You guys are amazing,
you are brilliant.

Oh shit.
CREW: (ON RADIO)
Okay guys, here we go.
- Such a gong show.
- Let's playback.
- Okay.
- Oh fack.
- Wait.
- Oh, here we go.
Okay.
Ocean blue,
I don't usually swim
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Ocean blue
I don't usually swim
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Starts as a feeling
And ends up a story
Strange to each other
And lost in a country
Lost in our bodies
With nothing to hold us
We drifted together
Out past the breakers
Ocean blue
I don't usually swim
But I followed you in, boy
I followed you in
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I wish I didn't have to
Hold all our secrets
I feel like I'm being
Pulled down in them
When I look to the memories
I get tangled under
When I hold onto you
Then I start sinking
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
I'm at the bottom
If you wanna find me
I'm at the bottom
I'm alone in the memories
