Sam & Kate (2022) Movie Script
0
I never believed in
things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel
it, then how could it be
No no magic could
happen to me
Then I saw you
Where are you gardening guys?
Oh, I think I'm getting warm.
I think I'm getting very warm.
What's that?
What the hell's that doing here?
That's a nice
Christmas decoration.
Christmas balls, tiny balls,
medium balls, going
up to big balls.
I don't know where
the hell they are.
So can you tell me where
the gardening hats are?
Aisle number five, towards
the end on the right.
- Hey.
- This belongs to the store.
You can't buy this,
but we can find you
something like this, but-
- I mean, that's one of a kind.
Wait a second. Wait
a second, wait a sec.
I think you blocked up all
these things because you don't
want the customers to
go over all through it,
because you wanna limit what
we do because it's so late.
You don't wanna have
to deal with us going
all over the place.
Here's, here's, I'm
making a point, okay?
If you reverse, go that way,
you'll get to aisle number
five a little bit faster.
Which way?
Woo, ooh.
Supervisor Dan.
Supervisor Dan.
Guess what?
You have very, very nice
holiday elevator music.
Oh Danny boy, I'm right
here at the cash register.
Oh, here you are.
How you doing?
I'm sorry.
Why are you looking
at me like that?
What are you so
angry at me about?
So, I had a few drinks.
This place is huge.
Nobody knows what the
fuck they're looking for
after a while.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Can we go now, please?
I'll tell you one thing.
You don't like me,
but I like you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Have a good night.
Is this what you need in
the middle of the night?
You know you could have asked
for these for Christmas.
And you would've
gotten wrong ones.
You're walking too fast.
Ah.
Here, careful. It's kinda hot.
Where are you going, Sammy?
You should watch the
news. It's good for you.
Be aware of what's
going on in the world.
It's so depressing.
Yeah. That's the world, Sammy.
That's the world
we live in. Jesus.
Mass shooting.
Shit, another commercial.
Oh, good.
Here.
Remember to take these, okay?
Sh, sh, sh. It's her.
Judge Judy?
She's a beautiful woman.
Bring it together.
In January of this year,
he was supposed to
be your boyfriend.
What are we doing
here anyway, man?
Deciding which is perfect
and which is imperfect.
Look, this one's a little off
in its shape, so it's what?
It's imperfect? Come on.
This shit.
This shit tastes as
good or better than
this perfect one.
Chill, man.
No, that's what
I'm saying though.
It's all gonna be
fully automated soon,
so it doesn't matter.
You hear what I'm saying?
Gentlemen, I think you'll
find this very effective
and efficient system-
Samuel, hair, tuck it.
Hello.
Let me know if you need
help with anything.
- Sure. Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you, come again.
Ooh, Pisces?
- That's funny.
- What?
To be honest with you,
I'm really uncool and I was
trying to figure out like
how to talk to you,
and then you hit me with
the oldest line in the book.
- So...
- What's that?
Like, what's your sign?
Oh, well, this is kind of
like our horoscope section.
Yeah. We picked books for
each astrological sign.
Right. Yeah.
I'm in, I'm in the-
Yeah.
I don't know if
I really believe
in the whole astrology thing.
I, I know that I,
I want to believe
in stuff like that,
but then there's this
like, inner cynic inside,
inside me.
Ooh. Nice.
Thanks.
So it's $125 plus tax.
Do you think that'll
be cash or credit?
Ooh.
One... a hundred and twenty five?
- Yeah.
- Um, uh...
We have, I mean,
we have a lot of cool books
we just put out over by Mary.
There's like some sales stuff.
I didn't even see all
those books over there.
I'm gonna-
Will you hold onto that?
I'm just gonna check
everything out.
Okay.
Oh yeah,
You got, you got a whole
bunch of stuff over here.
The, I see what you do.
You, you hide the, the
discount from the customer.
Yeah. You figured us out.
Very sneaky.
Oh, perfect.
You into gardening?
It's a, it's a gift.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah. No problem.
Find one?
Yeah, this is great.
Perfect.
So both of these
or just this one?
Mm, can you, can you maybe
hold, hold that one for me and,
and I'm gonna take
that one now and think,
think about that one?
With tax it's $5.40.
Great.
Perfect. Keep the change.
Oh, thank you.
Would you like a bag?
No, no.
I'll do my part for
the environment.
Okay.
But I was wondering
if I could call you,
we could hang out or-
- I'm not really
dating right now.
That's perfect.
'Cause I'm not dating
anybody right now.
We're just two single people.
I'm just not dating right now.
Okay.
Hey, thanks again.
Merry Christmas.
You too.
Why do red lights mean stop
and green lights mean go?
And yellow, don't do anything.
Yellow means like, chill out.
Yeah, everything
started with something.
For some reason we decided
that be red was stop.
Hey!
Hey, where'd you learn
to drive you jerk?
Are you nuts?
Are you dumb?
Idiot!
- Bill.
- What?
You can't get out of
a moving vehicle, okay?
Asshole.
I'm an asshole?
No, no. That driver.
You're not an asshole.
You're just a type of schmuck.
I'm a what?
You're a schmucky driver.
I'm a schmucky driver?
Yes.
Okay, Bill.
I literally just stopped this
from getting in an accident.
So.
Let me drive, okay?
Pull over and let me drive.
Oh man. You know, I would,
but we're almost there.
So...
Rich.
Are you low blood
sugar or something?
You know, you're not really
in the Christmas spirit.
Oh, and look at this.
Those assholes are going
to the same church.
Jesus.
And they're taking our spot.
That's our favorite spot.
Thank you.
Wasn't that beautiful?
He gave so that we could live.
So when you wake up on that
morning, take a moment.
Take a moment to say
thank you to Him.
Maybe wish Him a happy
birthday as well.
And I know for some of you
this is a painful time of year.
Some of you have lost your
jobs and you're uncertain
how you're going to manage
to make this holiday
special for your children.
Some of you have lost loved
ones and their absence
during this time is
especially heartfelt
because it's a time
of celebration.
But you can take solace in the
fact that they are in heaven
with their loving father.
Pay attention.
Are you serious right now?
- Sorry about that.
- And they are smiling
down upon you and whispering
the words, "It is well."
"It is well."
It is well
That's the car.
No, what are you, no,
please don't do something.
- Were you the car that-
- Bill.
Hello.
You may not remember,
but we met briefly years ago
when I was singing in the choir.
Oh, oh.
I believe I do remember
seeing you singing up there.
How do you do?
- Tina.
- Tina.
Tina. And this is,
this is my daughter Kate.
Oh, well this is my son, Sam.
Nice to meet you, Sam.
Nice to, nice to
meet you too, Kate.
So, what seems
to be the problem?
This is not turning over.
Oh, let's see.
Maybe the battery.
Oh, I'll go get jumper cables.
That would be
great. Thank you.
Tina, could you just
give it a little gas?
Just a little?
No, it's not the battery.
Okay. It's not the-
No, that doesn't
work unless you-
- Jumper cables.
You gotta attach it to
our car for it to work.
Mom, that's not
doing anything.
It's alright.
Mom, stop, mom, mom, stop!
- What, what?
- It's okay, it's okay.
- What?
- We're fine.
I just need to call a cab.
No, no, no, no, no.
We'd be glad to give
you a ride home.
Sam, get the car.
Really?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Get the car.
No no no, I insist.
You don't need to do that.
We can just take a cab.
It is our pleasure to
take you wherever you
and your daughter
would like to go.
Okay well, I'm just gonna
get my things together.
Okay, Sam?
Yeah, go ahead.
Do you need help?
No no.
Okay, Sam?
No no no, mom, no.
We're not taking that.
No, we're gonna leave
that in the car.
- Coming?
- Yes, thank you.
- Take your time.
- Mom, let's go, let's go.
I'm taking it with me.
Okay, just...
So you guys always
pick up ladies
in the church parking lot?
Totally.
Yeah. I mean,
I know I need all the help
I can get from the Lord,
especially being Jews
in a Christian Church.
It's 'cause we used to go-
- Sam, Sam, Sam.
- 'Cause my mom would take us.
You don't have to tell
our whole life history.
No, no, that's okay.
Well, he likes to talk.
Tell me ladies, what did you
think of the services even,
by the way?
Oh, I thought
it was beautiful.
Yes, I agree.
You know that the parsons
message was completely within?
I thought, the holiday spirit,
don't you, Tina?
Oh, yes.
And what about
that little girl?
She was so exquisite.
Oh God.
The little dancer with
the invisible baby Jesus.
Wait, are you talking about
the dancer in the beginning?
Yes.
Who crushed the baby?
- Yes! Yes, yes.
- You saw that too?
I was like waiting
for this big gasp,
but it was just
an awkward moment.
Are you making
fun of the girl?
Or are you making fun of Jesus?
No, I'm not making
fun of anybody.
No one's making fun of Jesus.
Well I must have missed it
because I thought that she was-
- Did you not see when she got,
when she crushed the thing?
No, I didn't see it.
And I'm asking you a question.
Why don't you respect this kid?
I don't-
No one disrespects the kid.
Well, it sounds like it.
You're making this
into something that-
- It sounds like it.
That was quite
the ride. Thank you.
Bill, I'm sorry
if I offended you.
Oh, no need to apologize.
It was very nice to meet you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Are you okay?
You sure you don't wanna
come in just for a second?
Oh yeah.
We met up at church. I'm
sure they're fine.
And I just wanna
sleep in my own bed.
You know how that goes.
Yeah. Okay.
Love you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight. Bye guys.
Thank you again.
You don't wanna spend Christmas
Eve with your daughter?
- Bill.
- I just did.
Isn't it Christmas Eve?
Only one day a year.
Oh, we see plenty
of each other.
Glad to hear it.
Never enough.
When we are apart
I will remember
The sound
Remember when
All right,
I'm gonna lose this.
Oh, come on.
- Double or nothing?
- Fine.
But if the Hawks win, you
gotta give us two free meals.
All right then. Are
you feeling lucky?
I like it.
Mmhmm!
- Hey Bill.
- What?
Merry Christmas.
I gotta give you yours
Thought I forgot. Huh?
You go first.
All right.
Dah dun dah dah!
Dah dun dun dun dah dah dah-
- You know you said you wanted
to learn about gardening, so.
Yeah, I did.
That's what this is?
That's very sweet of you, Sammy.
Okay. Your turn.
Okay. Okay.
What do we got?
See that?
I cleaned out the garage
and that was in the back
with a bike that hasn't been
ridden in about 40 years.
Oh, this is awesome.
I love when the,
the pages get aged and like-
- Yeah, well, you know, I'm
not good at giving gifts,
but you know how
far back this goes?
This is a great gift.
Way back, when I was
fooling around with a pencil.
Oh. Oh wow.
The Hawks might
win this after all.
Up at the free throw line.
Hey, what are you doing there?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
One second, please.
You drawing something?
If you move,
you're gonna ruin it.
Ah!
Did you just do this?
Merry Christmas, Bob.
Well, thank you, Sam.
See, did you see what
your son just drew?
Yeah, I know,
he's very talented.
Maybe one day he's gonna
do something with it.
Oh, shit.
Referee just iced him.
Merry Christmas, brother.
Hey, I wanted to let you know
I'm not gonna be at
the factory anymore.
I quit.
And this is what's
happening now.
Sam, here's your pie.
Also,
it's the afternoon and
I'm not wearing any pants.
And that's the shit!
Good heavens.
What on Earth is he doing?
The company you keep, Sammy,
the company you keep.
It's me!
Mom.
Hello?
Mom. It's me.
Hi.
Katie!
Katie, what are you doing here?
I thought I was
supposed to come to you.
I know, but I just thought
it'd come surprise you.
Well, I wish you would've
at least called me first.
Why, you have
someone in there?
Oh my God.
Did Bill stay over?
Oh, good heavens.
No. Now just stop it.
This is ridiculous.
Mom, let me in.
Wait, I just need-
- Mom, it's cold.
Unchain the fucking door.
That's no way to talk
on Christmas day, Katie.
I'm sorry.
Please unchain the fucking door.
Oh.
I just have to finish dressing
and I'll grab my stuff,
and I have something for you.
Okay.
Hey, do you still
have your trike?
You need a bigger tree.
Or smaller house.
Definitely not that.
Oh, I have something for you.
- Hey.
- I didn't really wrap it.
Oh my word!
I made it.
Katie. Thank you.
And then there's another,
there's another part.
You made this too?
Yeah.
Oh, it looks good.
It looks so good.
Thank you.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
I don't really have
a Christmas present.
I found these at the house,
and I thought you
should have them.
Fancy ribbon.
Just waiting for
that magic night
I'm sorry.
I'll be right back.
Sammy.
Get that, that piece
of shit out of there.
Okay. You see this?
You water this every
other day. Not every day.
You always get it backwards.
I'm ready for my breakfast.
Here, try this.
Hmm.
Yeah, it's good, right?
Yes. Yes it is.
Yeah.
It's tofu.
What?
It's tofu.
Prick, I might
have spoken too soon.
You got a text?
It's blank.
Here, I'll do it.
What do you punch?
Here, here.
- Oh.
- Ah,
looks like Tina
enjoyed meeting you.
Oh, What?
You gave her your
number, mister sly dog?
I did not.
I called her to apologize.
Wait, what?
I said I called
her to apologize.
Get outta here.
Okay. But I don't know why
you're taking this, like-
- Will you get
outta here please?
It's a good thing.
Oh, will you please
get outta here?
Alright. Alright.
Alright.
Hey Bill, real quick.
You apologized. What did
that feel like for you?
Here's your sausage.
It's tofu.
Tina!
Hi Beth.
I'm so glad you're back.
Thank you, Beth.
I sure wish you'd
rejoin the choir.
You know, singing heals
the heart, always.
I know.
I'm just not quite
ready to come back.
Is everything okay?
Yes, it's fine.
I just didn't sleep last night.
Oh, I understand.
I know all about insomnia.
I get it really bad sometimes.
Do you?
Yeah, but you know
what actually helps me?
What's that?
A nice glass of red wine!
Yeah.
Or even,
the Mary J.
The what?
Marijuana.
Oh!
I know they say it's a
drug and drugs are bad.
But I will tell you what,
that plant works and
they're legalizing it
all across the country.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't tell anybody I told you.
Oh, good heavens, no,
I wouldn't think of it.
You have the
chance to win this
Let's get you off there, Bill.
Irregular heartbeats.
Oh, there's a lot that's
irregular about him.
Ha ha.
What about not
smoking, not drinking.
No red meat.
Sam, shut the fuck up, huh?
Here's his prescription.
Is that in the way?
Is that in the way?
What?
What?
What are you-
Not cool, Bill!
You can't see with that
stupid thing in the way.
It's a vintage,
spooky skeleton.
Vintage shit.
Just drive the car safely.
It's a collectors item.
Help me out.
Come on, let's go.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Really, Bill?
Yeah.
We're leaving the
doctor's office.
You can't go five
minutes without-
- Without what?
Can't smoke, can't
drink, can't eat meat.
We're all gonna
die someday, Sammy.
I know, but I'd like
for you to be around for-
- For what?
- For what?
- Yeah, For what?
I don't know. I mean,
maybe someday if I,
if I have a family or...
Family?
Okay. What is your issue?
What do you mean issue?
Why are you so angry?
And don't say it's
'cause mom's gone.
'Cause truthfully, you were
this way when she was here.
I was supposed
to go before her.
I'm the one with the hard shit.
Pull over.
Look, Bill.
If you need someone
to talk to, man,
you can always talk
to me about anything.
I'm just,
not trying to fight with you.
I'm trying to listen.
I don't, I just want
you to be happy.
Give me your sketchbook.
You got a pencil?
Okay, Sammy.
You see that?
That's life.
You got half of yours left.
I don't even have a slice left.
I'm on gravy time.
Hey, come on, Bill.
Get back in the car, man.
Come on Mr. Gravy.
I'm kidding. Bill.
I know I've said
this a million times,
but I really think you
should consider donating
some of your stuff.
I know.
You just have so much good
stuff that people would love.
And you're not using it.
Katie, just finding things
that I'm willing to part with.
Right, hi.
Look at all these good
things you're getting rid of.
Yeah. And I'm not
using them anymore.
So I'm paying 'em forward.
Are you taking
stuff from my box?
No, I'm just looking.
Okay. Please
don't take anything.
Wait.
Are you sure you wanna
get rid of this coat?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Well, I'm not sure
that you should.
Mom, we're not doing this.
Please let me take it.
Look.
It was my idea for you to get
this coat in the first place.
I think I should at least
have some sort of say
over what happens to it.
Mom, you don't need it.
Just let me donate it.
You can take it.
Fine. I don't need it.
Bye.
Bye!
I'm just,
I'm just gonna take this.
When I look into your eyes
They made me realize
Excuse me there.
Pardon me, love.
I just wondered if
I could talk to you.
It's London calling.
Oh hi.
Oh.
Did not, did not take you
for a Rod Stewart fan.
Yeah.
That outfit is...
Can you imagine if you
looked up and I was wearing
that exact same thing?
Like, hey there, Katie.
I think I got something
to say to you.
That's good.
It's not good.
35 bucks though.
I know.
It's an investment, but
I think it's a good one.
Okay. If you say so.
I wonder if they have
a folk section here.
It'd be pretty cool
to find your album.
What did you say?
Okay. I have a confession.
I Googled you.
Albeit, that's not
normally how I roll.
I know. I just,
I shouldn't have.
But I found your music
and it's amazing.
Don't Google me.
Well, I feel weird now
that I said that out loud.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I gotta get going.
Yeah, yeah.
It's nothing you
said. I just have to go.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Okay. No problem.
Good to see you, Sam.
Good, good to
see you too, Kate.
Thanks, Orian.
Hey Kate. Wait up.
Hey man. Hey, hey!
You gotta pay for that!
Dude, just, I'll
be back, okay?
Calm down.
So outta your league, bro.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
make you feel uncomfortable.
I-
That's all right.
You going to the bookshop?
Yeah, I was just gonna
grab a coffee on the way.
Well, can I get your coffee?
No thanks.
Not a date,
just a friendly
chat with caffeine.
I'll even show you my,
my sacred sketchbook.
All right.
Sorry to hear about your car.
You know, Bill's really
good at fixing old cars.
Oh, it's okay.
I'll get it figured out.
Wait, so he is your dad, right?
'Cause I just noticed
you only call him Bill.
Yeah. No, he's my dad.
Bill thinks only
children should refer
to their parents as dad.
So, or fathers as dad.
I'm a grown man,
so I refer to him by his name.
Bill.
Fun started when I was 16.
Okay.
Stop stalling.
Okay, just to clarify, when
I told you that it was sacred,
I just meant like,
it means a lot to me.
I'm not saying it's
good or anything.
Yeah.
What is she thinking?
So did you like
train for this?
Did you take, I
don't know, courses?
I did take a couple
classes, but nothing like too-
I was actually working at
this little company though,
before I came back
to take care of Bill.
What kind of company?
Just like a really small
boutique comic book company
that I'm sure you'd
never heard of.
Comic books. Okay.
So where do you work now?
I work at the, at
the Chocolate Factory.
I know the Chocolate Factory.
I mean, I don't,
I've never known anyone
that worked there,
but do you enjoy that?
Not really, no.
But the pay is lousy.
Okay. So then why
the Chocolate Factory?
I don't know.
I, you know,
I used to work there
when I was younger
and then I just kind of
found my way back there.
I mean.
- What?
- You just have,
you're really talented and it
just seems like you should be
doing something
with this, you know?
You sound like Bill.
Well, I think he knows
what he's talking about.
I think they forgot my sugar.
Look, I can get that.
Okay. Thank you.
I actually need
to get to my shop.
Oh, okay.
Your shop?
Yeah, it's my shop.
I own it.
- Oh.
- You didn't
find that out when
you Googled me?
Did not know that.
- Yeah.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
We actually have a small but
good art section at the shop
that you might find interesting.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Have a good day.
Thank you.
Wow.
That lady was a-
- No way. You guys have
a Philip Guston book?
He's my favorite artist.
It's so cool that you have this.
Hi there.
Oh, this is Sam.
- Hi.
- Hi, Mary.
- Sam.
- Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you, Mary.
Oh my God. This guy's
work is amazing.
It's like cartoon style
and doesn't take
itself too seriously,
but they still put it
up in the MOMA and shit.
The ultimate rebel
amongst rebels.
- He's great.
- Yeah.
Yeah. The colors
are beautiful.
Do you wanna exchange numbers?
Um, not today.
Maybe tomorrow?
Maybe.
Okay. Okay.
Not now.
Thank you for the coffee.
Right.
I think it's, that means
I'm supposed to go now.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
What?
What do you mean, what?
Did you guys have a coffee date?
No, it wasn't a date.
Okay. He was so cute.
And he was into you,
and he loves art!
Okay, settle down.
Okay. All right.
I just thought you guys look
cute together. That's all.
Keep my mouth shut.
I got it. I got it.
Is that, is that Tina?
That's her, pull over.
Hi.
Well, hello there.
Now technically,
we are not in the church
parking lot pickup spot.
Well then I guess
I will just continue
waiting for the bus.
Or,
my son Sam and I
would be more than honored to
take you wherever you'd like.
Now, that's more like it.
I accept.
You think you two can
behave yourself this time?
Hi Tina.
So Tina, you,
you don't have a car?
I mean-
- No, no.
I walk or take the bus.
Sometimes Katie drives me,
but her car's still not running.
Kate, let me see it.
Okay. Oh,.
Sammy, pop the hood.
These gentlemen said you need
new spark plugs, new tires,
and a new carburetor.
But your car is fuel-injected.
You got ripped off,
they're criminals.
Don't worry,
we're gonna fix you up.
And gimme a flathead
screwdriver.
Hey, don't worry.
I see a worried look on you.
You have a light?
- Yeah, yeah. Here.
- Okay. A little more.
A little more, closer.
Give me a, shine
something on it.
I'm thinking he might
just be able to fix it.
I feel like I need to pay him.
Oh, no.
Sam said don't pay him.
- Ladies.
- Don't wanna embarrass him.
Do you have a
big old frying pan
that you don't use anymore?
Frying pan?
Yeah.
And a couple of beers.
Let's see if you get
the car running first.
You're tough.
Oh, that's way too nice.
We'll just go to the
auto parts store.
It's nearby.
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah yeah.
Thank you.
Well, keep your receipts and
I'll pay you back for anything
you spend on parts.
No, no.
Bill. You're not driving.
You're not driving.
Thank you guys.
It's our pleasure.
I know.
We need to cook for them.
- What?
- That's what we can do.
We can cook for them.
I think it'd be a nice
gesture if they fix your car.
Get it running.
What if they don't
get it running?
Well then we'll just
make 'em mow the yard.
That's a great idea.
Don't think I don't see your
sneaky little angle, though.
What are you talking about?
A7, Sammy, air filter, okay?
I'm looking.
Okay.
By the way, Bill, I didn't
mean to get y'all worked up
the other day.
You got upset because I
ripped your toy off the mirror.
No, that was just
mildly annoying.
I'm talking about-
- I know what you're
talking about, Sam.
Can we just focus on
the task at hand please?
And maybe you can remember
that your time here with me
is finite, okay?
So let's get the
work done first.
Okay?
Bill.
Should we go, Mr. Finite?
Sammy Boy, sometimes
you surprise me.
- Now?
- Hit it.
Oh!
Oh, wait a minute.
I'll take an embrace.
Would you guys like
to stay for dinner?
- So good!
- Oh.
You know, we would, but I
got, Bill's got a routine.
I gotta get him home.
No no no no no.
I'd love, I'd love
to be invited.
Well then come on!
What have you got?
It's a surprise.
Dear God.
Thank you for this lovely meal
and thank you for forgiving
our sins, for there
are many of them.
And may you punish those
vicious criminal car mechanics
for not seeing the
error of their ways,
'cause they ain't
gonna do it, dear God.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Oh, thank you.
- Excuse me.
- Tina.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh. Sorry.
That's too much.
That's how you
keep your figure.
Is that okay?
That's great.
Thank you so much.
Ooh, I see what you did there.
Thank you so much
for this whole,
whole thing is really
so sweet of you both.
Oh, well it was really
sweet of you to fix my car.
I can't really take credit.
It was all Bill.
No, my son was part of it.
So, a little bird tells me
you own your own bookstore.
She's had that bookstore
for, what, two years now?
That's right, yeah.
Actually Bill, the
gardening book I got you.
That's where I got it from.
Oh.
Yeah, that was a find.
We don't get books like
that in the shop very much.
You should really
check it out though.
They have all these amazing
old rare books there.
You would really like it.
So a rare young lady
sells rare old books.
She's a rare one.
Word of the night.
Well, let's drink to that.
Cheers.
All of us.
It's good.
Well, I hope you
liked your pot pies.
Oh, it's great.
They were vegetarian
and gluten free.
You guys are sneaky.
Sam does the same thing to me.
I mean, it tastes so good.
You can't tell the difference.
It was really good.
I hate to admit it.
My love must be
Love this song.
My love
I can't see anyone but you
She-bop she-bop
She-bop she-bop
She's something.
Come on.
- What?
- Let's dance.
Oh, I don't dance.
Oh.
I never learned how.
I'll teach you.
I'm too self conscious.
Just have another drink.
Okay.
But you're gonna regret it.
She-bop she-bop
I don't know if it's
cloudy or bright
What?
Come on.
Are you serious?
Shoot.
- It's okay.
- Okay.
For you
Why are you
looking at your feet?
So I can watch your moves.
You should be looking at me.
You and that smile again.
She-bop she-bop
You got that smile.
She-bop she-bop
I'm just following you.
She knows her stuff.
I'll tell you Kate, you got
a really special place here.
Thank you.
It must be nice
owning a book shop.
You get all the books too.
Yeah.
Oh, do you know this book?
This is a good one.
This Andrew Moore book.
Detroit Disassembled?
Yeah.
I can't say that I do.
It's all these
amazing photographs.
Let's see. I feel like you
being an artist would love this.
Well, I'm not
really an artist.
You are what you
say you are, Sam.
Really? You think
that's how it works?
I wish that's how it works.
If it was, I'd be in
the NBA right now.
No, you're way too short.
Okay. That's not nice.
You know, Spud Webb was 5'7".
He won the dunk contest.
How come you didn't
give me your number?
Maybe I did. And you
just didn't notice.
Oh, I'm pretty sure I
would've noticed that.
You're being very
mysterious right now.
I love this.
Yeah. Oh.
Even though it's
falling apart,
there's still something
so beautiful about it.
How are you still single? It
just doesn't make any sense.
Is that a weird thing to
say? It makes no sense.
Why are you?
Complete insecurity.
Self-loathing.
Gotta love yourself first
and I'm working on that.
For you
Mom?
- Okay. What happened?
- Oh God.
What happened?
Are you alright?
It's time to go,
it's time to go.
You okay?
Yeah. It always
happens when I-
- Oh, his drinks? Yeah.
No, I mixed the
wine with the beer.
Here, here, here.
Put your arm around me.
- I'm okay, I'm fine.
- I know, I know.
Thank you both for having us.
We had a great time.
He's okay.
You know how to dance.
I'm okay.
Is this fork clean?
- Mm-hmm.
- You sure?
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
That's a bit
redundant, isn't it?
Oh, these are just studies.
Looks just like her.
Who?
Come on.
I'll take it as a compliment.
You can tell it's
her from my drawing.
Okay.
Let me give you some advice.
Okay?
Yeah?
Sammy, if you want to
get a girl like that,
you gotta start
acting like a man.
Where is this coming from?
Want the truth?
Yeah.
Every day, you're
smoking dope.
You're drawing pictures.
You're working at the Chocolate
Factory, how many years?
No. Bill, no.
- What?
- No.
You need to learn some
boundaries because-
- What?
- You still talk to me
like I'm a teenager.
Teenager?
Yeah.
In my day,
teenagers were dying
for their country at
17, 18, 19 years of age.
Are you talking about
the war right now?
Not to mention the
fact that you're still
living under my roof.
Okay.
Well not to mention the fact
that I'm living under your roof.
I just said that.
Okay.
What do you mean okay?
What?
You know what you need?
What? What do I need?
You need to get laid.
Excuse me. What'd
you just say?
I said you need to get the
old tugboat in the canal.
See this fork? See that hand?
Yeah. Alright, alright.
Alright.
Wanna see what happens?
No, I'm just
saying, Bill, really.
I haven't seen you up and
dancing like that in years.
What are you talking about?
Years. I mean, you looked
like you were having fun.
Why don't you just call
her and ask her out?
You think I could take her out
after I got drunk and messed
up her daughter's house?
Maybe she likes bad boys.
Do you think I have a shot?
Yeah.
I think she'll be
glad that you called.
Hey, you okay man?
Fine.
What's going on, Bill?
I miss your mother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Thank you.
See this?
Huh?
Next time, make
sure it's real pork.
This is real pork, Bill.
Like it doesn't have
any MSG either, right?
I didn't cook it.
I'm glad you're back though.
Hey Mary.
Hey Sam.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
Good. Good.
I'm glad that we're alone,
'cause I wanted to
see if you wanted
to maybe hang out sometime.
Okay.
Kate's right over there.
Hi.
Hey.
I got your drawing.
So you're trying to get
me on some roller skates?
Is that what's happening?
That's what, yeah.
No, but it's,
I should have been more
upfront in the text I sent you.
Tomorrow night, they're
doing this thing at the,
at the roller rink for,
I know it's New Year's.
Um,
I mean if it could be like a
casual friends skating thing.
Fully, fully casual.
Like Mary and Mark could come.
- Please.
- Maybe.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That would be great.
More the merrier.
Okay.
I just meant it like
a fun casual thing.
Cool, yeah, that would be fun.
Great. I do feel
a little silly.
I brought chocolates for
you now though. Yeah.
Oh no, I'll take those.
- Oh yeah. No.
- Thank you.
Enjoy them.
I'll be back tomorrow
with a corsage.
Yeah. Casual.
Yeah.
Bye.
I got a date. I got a date.
I got a date. Hey hey hey hey.
I got a date, I got a date.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now this,
this is the kind of enthusiasm
I was mentioning earlier.
You know, you can taste it
in every bite, can't you Sam?
Hey man.
New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve.
New, new, new, new,
new New Year's Eve.
I got a date.
Oh.
Hey Bill.
Oh, Tina, you didn't have
to stand out here in the cold.
I just came out when
I saw the car lights.
Well.
You look real nice.
Thank you. So do you.
Dude. I'm telling you,
a lot of the most influential
bands just have three members.
Nirvana, Rush, Cream.
Destiny's Child, TLC.
- TLC! Destiny's Child.
- TLC, yes.
There's a ton.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
There's tons, dude.
Love, love them.
It's the power of three.
Records in the truth.
But that's the "All Along
the Watchtower" thing.
Yeah. The U2 Cover.
Yeah. Yeah.
Nice catch.
Yes, yes.
I'm getting a
musician vibe off you.
Yeah.
I actually played in
Kate's band a while back.
No way.
Kate, why didn't you-
Can we get some beers?
- Yes, beers, yes yes.
- Yes.
- Beers are good.
- Want a beer, dude?
- Hell yeah.
- Right on.
I'm gonna check
out the skates.
I'll be out here.
Is she okay?
Yeah, she just doesn't really
like talking about
her music anymore.
Just go skate with her.
We are neon lovers
Watch us fade in to night
Um, my son is the one who
suggested I call you
up and ask you out,
if truth be known.
Did he?
Yeah.
That's so funny.
Katie did the same thing.
They're in cahoots.
I was just thinking,
I wonder if they talked
it over between them.
I'm glad they did, though.
It's been a long time since
I've been out like this.
Me too.
Do you mind if I
take my coat off?
Oh, of course.
I don't know whether
it's hot in here,
or I'm having hot
flashes 'cause of you.
Oh, well.
You don't think they'll
mind if I take these.
I need 'em for my
coffee tomorrow.
No, no, go.
So,
you have a lovely daughter.
Thank you.
And I'm just curious,
is her father,
I mean, if I'm talking
out of line here-
- No no, no.
He left when she
was just a baby.
There was a note.
I think I burned it
in the fireplace.
What an idiot.
I never heard from him again.
Never?
Never.
Well, he doesn't
know what he's missing.
No.
And he's the dumb-ass that
missed out on Katie's life.
Lucky me. Lucky me.
Katie, you know, you were
really something out there.
- Me?
- Oh yeah.
- Mm-hmm, oh yeah.
- Yeah.
Almost as good as Mary.
Not quite as good.
Oh.
- Oh wow, okay, alright.
- Okay.
But she had a better partner.
Oh, thank you, bro.
I don't know, I
thought my partner
was really moving
his hips out there.
Oh yeah, we saw the hips.
Yeah brother,
those hips don't lie.
We saw the hips.
Alright skaters,
grab your partners.
It's the last couples
skate of the year.
Last couples skate
before New Year's.
Grab your partners for the
last skate of the year.
You don't go
Down the same old roads
Yesterday, the ecstasy
La la la la
It used to be a fantasy
He certainly was never
gonna go into the service.
But from the age of four,
he started sketching.
And I'm telling you, he could
sketch right from the get-go,
without any lessons.
- Yeah.
- Anyway,
when June was back
in the hospital
'cause she was
battling cancer again,
Sammy and I visited
her every day.
Sammy sometimes
was there all day.
And he said to me
one time, he says,
"Daddy, why is it that
some of these other
cancer patients
don't have visitors?"
And they didn't.
And I didn't know
what to say to him.
Without me knowing it,
he went over, and
without them knowing it,
he started to sketch
each one of the ones
that never had any visitors.
And he gave each
of them a picture.
I said, "Why'd you
do that, Sammy?"
He says, "I just thought
it would, you know",
make 'em a little happier."
That's Sammy.
He's a better man than me.
Better man than I am right now.
Well, you're not so bad.
I don't know about that.
Let's just not worry
about anything for a minute,
and finish that dance
that we started.
Okay?
What?
You're not dancing.
Can we just stand
here for a moment?
Wow.
They're really
going for it, huh?
Awesome.
Happy New Year.
How's that song go?
It's like, doo doo
do doo doo doo.
You know that?
No.
I'm just trying
to get you to sing.
Oh.
No, it's not gonna happen.
I hope it does someday.
So do you have any New
Year's resolutions?
That's such a dorky question.
No,
that's not a dorky question.
Um,
yeah, I don't know.
I like New Year's, though.
Some people always think
I'm weird for saying this,
but it's actually
my favorite holiday.
Same.
- Really?
- Yeah.
How come?
It's like a clean
slate, you know?
You can start fresh.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
I usually think of
like a fresh notebook.
- Mm, yeah, exactly.
- Yeah.
Except you're just saying that
'cause you sell the notebooks.
Oh!
Happy New Year, Bill.
Happy New Year, Tina.
You look really nice.
Thank you.
So, how about a night cap?
Oh, I'm not so sure.
Why?
I don't know.
I just...
Huh?
I haven't had anyone
over in so long.
Well, I haven't
been out in so long.
- I tell you what.
- What?
- You wait here.
- Yeah?
And I'll go into the house,
and bring out some drinks.
And we can have a
night cap on the porch.
But it's a little chilly.
Well, I'll bring blankets.
It'll be super cozy.
Well, I may need one more kiss
just to keep warm
until you get back.
Well you wait right here.
Okay.
Thank you for walking me home.
Yeah, of course.
I kinda wish we
stole the skates.
We could've skated home.
Happy New Year.
Yeah, Happy New Year.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, I should go.
Yeah.
I should...
Tina?
Tina.
Tina.
Jesus.
Bill?
You okay?
Yeah.
Did I,
did I do something wrong?
No.
Did I do something so right
that you're just like,
overwhelmed with
emotion right now?
Yeah, kind of.
Really?
I mean-
- It'd be a lot cooler
if I wasn't so
surprised right now.
Love that I wish I felt
When my sight's seeing again
Where will you be
Huh.
He's actually using the
gardening stuff I got him.
Is that odd?
Maybe it's a New
Year's resolution.
Thank you for the ride.
I'll fax you?
Okay.
Or should I say hi?
Yeah yeah, say hi to Bill.
He'd love to see you.
Hey Bill.
Car's working great.
Bye, Sam.
Bye, Bill.
Hey Bill.
Did you have a good
time with her there?
Yeah, yeah, I really did.
You didn't feel like saying hi?
Did you lay with her?
What?
Did you lay with her?
Did you get lucky?
You're kidding, right?
No.
Actually, I'm not.
Okay, Bill, I don't know
where this is coming from.
Well, I gotta
tell you something.
I thought you were a gentleman.
What?
And you're not a gentleman.
What the hell are
you talking about?
I thought you were
somebody that I raised,
and you're not that person.
I can use some water.
- Oh my God.
- Get me some water.
Yeah, okay.
Water, please.
You know what
you just said to me
was a terrible
thing to say, right?
- Yeah.
- You do know that?
Yeah, do you know-
- I'm not who you thought I was?
Why would you say
something like that?
Well she's not who you
thought that she was.
- What?
- You don't just
stick it in her the first date.
You have no idea what
you're talking about.
- She's not a bimbo.
- You don't know
what happened.
You weren't there.
You weren't there!
Yeah.
You've been into
casual sex, too.
- You weren't there!
- I don't have to be there.
You're just a
fucking stick-it-in-
- Hey, hey, sorry.
Wait, Bill, Bill.
More atrial fib
than last time.
I've sent your information
and your blood work
over to a colleague of
mine at Wells Hospital.
Trying to get a
little more clarity.
Here's a Life Alert
I want you to wear.
Now come on, Bill.
You know you need to wear it.
You wear it.
We can keep him here
for monitoring overnight.
Hey, no no no.
I'm out of here.
Thanks, Doc.
You know, he didn't
even used to smoke cigars?
He literally started when
the doctor told him not to.
That's funny.
Yeah, I just wish he cared.
Yeah.
Wait, don't move your eyes.
I'm doing the eyelashes.
Ugh, I have to take this.
I'm gonna move.
- Okay, but-
- You good? Okay.
- You might turn out abstract.
- Hey mom.
Wait, wait, slow down.
What?
Oh God, mom, really?
How do you-
No, I don't think he
would've done that.
Well, they're not
gonna come right now,
so maybe I'll come
by in a little bit,
and we can make a plan.
Okay?
I love you.
Bye.
That's not at
all how you were.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
Did your dad tell you what
happened the other night?
You know he took my mom out
for like a New Year's date.
No way.
I was encouraging
him to do that.
I didn't think he really would.
Well, it didn't end well.
What happened?
He left, abruptly.
And they haven't spoken.
Damn it, Bill.
In his defense, it's a
lot for anyone to take.
What do you mean?
My mom, um,
well, she would call
herself a collector.
But she's like, a hoarder.
She's a full-on hoarder.
Like her house is totally,
totally full of shit.
I'm sorry.
Anyway,
I guess her house got,
I don't know, someone like
called it in to the city,
and I mean, this
has happened before.
And she has to, we
have to clean it,
clean it up, or she won't
be able to live there.
And then she'll have to like
live with me, or something.
You don't want to
live with your mom?
I don't want to
live with my mom.
We could trade.
You could live with
Bill, I could live-
Is it too soon for me to
move in with your mom?
Well, let me help.
I mean, like, moving stuff.
Yeah, that would
be really nice.
Thank you.
Hey mom.
Mom, you know the routine.
I didn't know you
were bringing Sam.
Well, we're gonna
need his help.
And I also got that
company from last time.
Wow, so many
treasures in here.
I invited someone, too.
Her name is Beth and she,
she's in the choir.
I know a little secret of hers,
so she can't really tell
anybody at church about mine.
Oh well.
A little energy boost.
For the job.
Thank you, Tina.
Bless your heart.
I think I understand now
why you have insomnia.
Um, okay, so, I
brought some gloves.
And I have a company coming
to bring oversized trash bins.
Mom is gonna help us to organize
things into boxes, what-
Mom.
- Well.
- We're dating.
Oh, how nice.
This is so embarrassing.
Oh, just a minute.
Oh, and I've changed my mind.
This chain goes to my bicycle.
That you can't find,
and that is broken.
It's broken, mom.
If we're ever gonna
get this house cleaned,
you're gonna have to start
getting rid of some things.
- I know.
- Okay?
I know, I'm not an idiot.
Okay, here you go.
Thank you so much.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mom.
Thank you so much for coming.
Oh, sure.
I don't know if I should
say something or not.
Well, wait, did she
tell you this, bro?
No, that's what I'm saying.
I saw a picture
and I called you.
She doesn't even
know that I know.
And I don't even
know what I know.
I saw a picture of her
with her family, I guess.
Wait.
That's so bizarre.
But you don't know for
sure that she has a family.
You saw a picture.
That's true, it could
not be her family,
but there's multiple
pictures of her
and some dude and a baby.
I mean.
Oh shit, put this out.
Give me that.
Now!
Oh, you...
That's really, really strong.
I think you're gonna
need my help, ma'am.
Did you see all the TVs?
You think that one works?
I mean, either way, it's cool.
Yeah.
Oh hey, Beth.
Right on, you cleaning
out the fridge?
Good.
Beth.
What are you doing?
Oh, I was just checking
expiration dates.
The expiration
dates mean nothing,
so put it back and
get out of my fridge.
Oh, okay.
I am so sorry.
You too.
Just really,
I can't do this anymore.
I just can't do this anymore.
Beth, are you okay?
Oh, I can't do this anymore.
Well, that's okay
if you need to go.
I understand.
I don't think your
mom's gonna understand.
Probably not.
No.
- Beth?
- Oh, Tina.
I am so sorry, but
I've done everything
that I can do here,
so I'm gonna have to go,
and I promise
I won't tell anybody.
Good.
Goodbye!
Bye.
Don't come back.
She's stoned.
- What?
- Yeah, she smoked.
She's been smoking,
somebody got her high.
- That's awesome, that's real?
- Yeah, yeah it's real.
Where'd you get that?
Oh, oh I'm Ron.
I'm from Texas.
I'm a friend of Sam's.
I'm Tina, this is Kate.
And that's my goose,
and it's a keep!
Okay, everybody get
out of the house.
Everybody with an orange shirt,
get out of my fucking house!
- I'm gonna go...
- You hear me?!
Are you high?
Did you get her high?
Well, I mean, we didn't
convince her, or anything.
It was a bit more
complicated than...
Awesome, okay, you can go.
You can go, too.
I'm just gonna make sure
Beth gets home safely.
I was trying to help.
Alright, you want to help?
Why don't you take
the donate box
from the ironing board thing?
Just the donate box.
Please and thank you.
Okay, okay.
Mom.
Mom, open the door.
No, it's too much,
Katie, I can't do it.
You can do it.
We've been here before.
I know!
I live with this
every damn day, Katie.
I deal with it every damn day.
I just can't, I can't.
Just, just take it all.
Just, just,
just throw it all away.
I don't give a shit anymore.
Are you smoking?
Oh, you want to take
that from me, too?
Fine!
Just take everything!
I'll just die here alone.
Everybody will be happy.
Mom.
I love you.
You're all I got.
Let me tell you, man.
It's about job security.
Because machines are never
gonna replace baristas.
And my cousin owns
the shop already,
so I'm practically
a manager there.
We could put your
artwork up on the walls.
Hey Sam, are you okay, buddy?
I said we could get your
artwork up on the walls.
That's,
that'd be,
that'd really be something.
I just, sorry man.
I can't stop thinking
about this guy's face
in the picture.
I just don't understand.
I'm so confused.
Right, well.
If it's about her ex,
or her other life,
and all that stuff,
I mean, she's gonna
tell you about that
when she's ready.
Ron, we don't know
that it's her ex, though.
We're assuming that.
For all we know, she could
still be with this guy.
I could be the guy on the side.
Some guys like that.
Not me.
Let me tell you
something about love, Sam.
And what springs to mind is
my favorite quote from Rilke,
which is,
"Each partner chooses the other
to be the guardian
of his solitude."
Wait.
Ride-
- It's Kate, it's Kate,
it's Kate, it's Kate.
Hey, hey Kate, what's up?
You took the wrong box.
Did you donate it already?
What?
Did you donate the
box that you took?
You took the wrong box.
Well, I mean, it was
one of those, like,
drop box centers.
I don't even, I just
put it through the-
- Can you get it back?
Can you go see if
you can get it back?
Right, but I'm saying,
I don't even know
if anyone's there.
I can go check,
but your mom has a lot of stuff.
You think she'll even notice?
I had a bunch of
my son's stuff in it.
Shit.
So you do have a son.
I actually saw a photo,
or a few photos at
the house, and of you,
and I guessed your
son and ex-husband,
and I don't want to pry on
your past relationships,
but I wish you would have been
a little more upfront with
me about having a kid,
because-
Okay, shush.
Kate?
Are you okay?
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
Yeah, they died.
In a car wreck.
Kate, I'm so sorry.
Hello?
It might be, did
you look over there?
Where is it, Sammy?
Oh, thanks.
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated
voice message system.
At the tone, please
record your message.
Hey Kate, it's me again.
I just wanted to let you know
I called the number
on the donation box,
but they couldn't track it down.
So I went to all the
donation centers in town,
and I'm gonna keep looking.
I'm not giving up until-
until we, shit!
What are you doing?
You know I like scrambled eggs.
I hate oatmeal.
Oatmeal is good
for your heart.
Why didn't you tell me you
went on a date with Tina?
Didn't know I had to.
Well, do you think
you could've handled
the situation a bit
more delicately?
- What situation?
- What situation?
Yeah.
Walking out on
Tina the other night.
What do you think
I'm talking about?
Probably.
Probably definitely.
Yeah, probably
probably probably.
- Okay, I gotta go.
- Where are you going?
Where are you going?
I'm talking to you!
What are you walking
out on me for?
Okay, what do you need, Bill?
I'm the one who called it in.
You were the one?
Yeah.
You called it in on Tina?
That's right.
Bill, how could you do that?
Because nobody's gonna
tell her the truth.
She needs help.
So you just decide to
just do it all by yourself?
- No one else was gonna do it.
- Oh my God, Bill.
- Listen, listen.
- Do you realize
that I can't tell them this?
I can't tell them this.
What?
You just made
me an accomplice.
No no no, listen, listen.
She's the sick person,
you're a good person.
And you got that
from your mother.
- Oh my God, Bill.
- Wait a minute.
Maybe I'm right
and you're wrong,
and maybe you're right and I'm-
Oh, fucking guy.
One of the
most tragic of the moments
of the war-
- Hey, thanks boss man.
Month-to-month, right?
Hey Sam. Sorry,
just closing up.
Hey, Mary.
Just, she's not here, is she?
No, not right now.
She already left.
I just wanted to
drop this off for her.
Okay, great.
I'll get it to her.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Good to see you.
Yeah, you too, you too.
Okay.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
What are you
doing here so early?
I came in to get
some inventory out.
Oh, great.
Kate, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey.
Come here.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Hey Bill, I'm at
the coffee shop,
and if you're hungry,
there's really really good
barbecue in the fridge, okay?
Love you man.
Thank you.
What happened to
the other artist?
Oh, we have a new
artist working now.
Yeah.
Not my cup of tea.
It's a little
unfinished or something.
I don't know.
- Hi.
- Hey, Mary.
How are you?
I didn't know you
were working here.
Well, I'm moving
up in the world.
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
It's good to see
you, it's been a while.
You too.
How's your long-haired
stallion, Mark?
He's amazing.
Good.
Hi.
Um, just an Americano for me.
Americano.
Uh, what do you want?
I mean, to drink.
Like, what would, can I-
- I'll have an Americano, also.
Another Americano, thank you.
Um, hey thank you for
giving me Levi's toy.
Yeah, of course.
I feel so bad that,
of course.
How did you,
how did you get that back?
Truthfully, I was gonna
keep that one for me.
I mean, I didn't know, so, yeah.
I'm glad that,
Levi's a really cool name.
He was a really cool kid.
Um, it's awesome to see
your art on the walls.
It looks so good.
I'm gonna go play my set.
Hey.
Kill it, compadre.
Have you seen Ron play before?
- No.
- He's so good.
Do you want that
to stay or to go?
To go.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, everybody's got their
coffees and their lattes.
Mr. Vanilla, large.
It's a beautiful
day out there.
It's only getting
better, everybody.
It's getting better.
Well Egyptians,
they have the Nile
And they worshiped
her at the temple
And Ephesians, they
just set their sail
And they traded with
the foreign people
Sumerians, unique
in their form
Foiled a recall
with all their plans
And the Hittites, they
had the spell for iron
And they rained it
down upon the land
And it took 1000 days
just to feel the change
And the anger rising
in the hearts of men
Well who's gonna
save them sons
Hey Bill.
You didn't eat the
barbecue I got you.
Ah, shit.
Bill?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
In true and certain hope
of the resurrection
to eternal life.
Take a moment.
Let me know when you're ready.
Anything you need,
you know where I am.
Thanks.
I'm so sorry, Sam.
If you ever need, you
know, a friend, or...
Yeah, thank you and
your mom for coming, okay?
What do you do
when you're alone
Tired of hiding
in the telephone
You've been used
to another's arms
What are you doing
with a broken heart
And we're off herein
more mortal than
We usually do
We'll all be fine
At least, that's what
we tell ourselves
We'll both be fine
That's what I'll tell myself
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey,
I'm sorry to just
show up on you.
I just, um,
I just wanted to see you.
You know, it's
been weird lately.
Without Bill around.
I'm packing up his things.
You know, and going
through all of his things,
and I have to figure out
what stays and what goes.
Yeah.
And I feel like I'm
learning things about him
that I wasn't supposed
to know, you know?
Like, I found,
he got discharged.
I found these letters.
The day before they
all went to fight,
he got injured, and they
wouldn't let him go.
You know, so.
And then none of his
friends came home.
Not one.
And he regretted
the rest of his life
that he didn't die,
which is so fucked up.
And it got me thinking
as I was walking
about what I would regret.
That's you, Kate.
I just,
I just can't imagine
you not knowing
what you mean to me.
I missed you.
Would you like to come inside?
Yeah, I do.
It's so good to see you.
Anything about me
strike you as different at all?
I don't know.
I got nothing.
I'm an artist who's
sold his work now.
Oh my God!
You sold a piece?
- Technically, yeah.
- That's amazing!
Ron called me yesterday
and told me a piece
sold at the coffee shop.
What piece?
The monster chasing the girl,
but actually he just
really likes her.
I love that one.
Aw.
You know if I sell
a couple more pieces,
I could even pay for groceries.
Don't fall asleep
That's what I think
when I close my eyes
I don't want to see
A life that could have been
But either way, it hurts
It's hard to find the words
I should be packing
up a lunch box
Rush to meet the school bus
Tell him it's okay
God, I miss that
perfect face
You changed my course
Turned on lights in rooms
That I had always kept dark
And rearranged my heart
So I can breathe again
I can't believe it happened
This wasn't how I planned it
Courts that I would stand in
You take the
weight and share it
You take my heart
and carry it
You make the hard
things better
You gave me life after
I'm not expecting easy
But I see you and you see me
You make my
heart beat faster
You gave me life after
We could make a fresh start
Send our own last words
Draw me in your storyboard
Are you
Are you breaking down
Or is it just the
sound of your walls
Falling all around
I know I know
It hurts to let it be
Oh, the damage in you
Is causing cracks in me
Chain reaction
Chain reaction
You know I love you
You know I do
Wish I could fix it
But I'm broken too
Tell me
Tell me what you'd like
Try to tell you the
truth with my eyes
About 100 times
Driving
Driving in your car
Could've stayed right there
Forever as your passenger
Chain reaction
Chain reaction
Reaction
You know I love you
You know, I sure am
sad that Bill died,
but isn't it sweet that
Sam and Kate found love?
I got a buddy, he's
so special to me
We get together
and we smoke trees
We're smoking trees
Smoking trees
Yeah, we get down like dogs
But we don't have any fleas
Smoking trees, baby
Woo-Hoo
That was pretty good.
I never believed in
things that I couldn't see
I said if I can't feel
it, then how could it be
No no magic could
happen to me
Then I saw you
Where are you gardening guys?
Oh, I think I'm getting warm.
I think I'm getting very warm.
What's that?
What the hell's that doing here?
That's a nice
Christmas decoration.
Christmas balls, tiny balls,
medium balls, going
up to big balls.
I don't know where
the hell they are.
So can you tell me where
the gardening hats are?
Aisle number five, towards
the end on the right.
- Hey.
- This belongs to the store.
You can't buy this,
but we can find you
something like this, but-
- I mean, that's one of a kind.
Wait a second. Wait
a second, wait a sec.
I think you blocked up all
these things because you don't
want the customers to
go over all through it,
because you wanna limit what
we do because it's so late.
You don't wanna have
to deal with us going
all over the place.
Here's, here's, I'm
making a point, okay?
If you reverse, go that way,
you'll get to aisle number
five a little bit faster.
Which way?
Woo, ooh.
Supervisor Dan.
Supervisor Dan.
Guess what?
You have very, very nice
holiday elevator music.
Oh Danny boy, I'm right
here at the cash register.
Oh, here you are.
How you doing?
I'm sorry.
Why are you looking
at me like that?
What are you so
angry at me about?
So, I had a few drinks.
This place is huge.
Nobody knows what the
fuck they're looking for
after a while.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Can we go now, please?
I'll tell you one thing.
You don't like me,
but I like you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Have a good night.
Is this what you need in
the middle of the night?
You know you could have asked
for these for Christmas.
And you would've
gotten wrong ones.
You're walking too fast.
Ah.
Here, careful. It's kinda hot.
Where are you going, Sammy?
You should watch the
news. It's good for you.
Be aware of what's
going on in the world.
It's so depressing.
Yeah. That's the world, Sammy.
That's the world
we live in. Jesus.
Mass shooting.
Shit, another commercial.
Oh, good.
Here.
Remember to take these, okay?
Sh, sh, sh. It's her.
Judge Judy?
She's a beautiful woman.
Bring it together.
In January of this year,
he was supposed to
be your boyfriend.
What are we doing
here anyway, man?
Deciding which is perfect
and which is imperfect.
Look, this one's a little off
in its shape, so it's what?
It's imperfect? Come on.
This shit.
This shit tastes as
good or better than
this perfect one.
Chill, man.
No, that's what
I'm saying though.
It's all gonna be
fully automated soon,
so it doesn't matter.
You hear what I'm saying?
Gentlemen, I think you'll
find this very effective
and efficient system-
Samuel, hair, tuck it.
Hello.
Let me know if you need
help with anything.
- Sure. Thanks.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you, come again.
Ooh, Pisces?
- That's funny.
- What?
To be honest with you,
I'm really uncool and I was
trying to figure out like
how to talk to you,
and then you hit me with
the oldest line in the book.
- So...
- What's that?
Like, what's your sign?
Oh, well, this is kind of
like our horoscope section.
Yeah. We picked books for
each astrological sign.
Right. Yeah.
I'm in, I'm in the-
Yeah.
I don't know if
I really believe
in the whole astrology thing.
I, I know that I,
I want to believe
in stuff like that,
but then there's this
like, inner cynic inside,
inside me.
Ooh. Nice.
Thanks.
So it's $125 plus tax.
Do you think that'll
be cash or credit?
Ooh.
One... a hundred and twenty five?
- Yeah.
- Um, uh...
We have, I mean,
we have a lot of cool books
we just put out over by Mary.
There's like some sales stuff.
I didn't even see all
those books over there.
I'm gonna-
Will you hold onto that?
I'm just gonna check
everything out.
Okay.
Oh yeah,
You got, you got a whole
bunch of stuff over here.
The, I see what you do.
You, you hide the, the
discount from the customer.
Yeah. You figured us out.
Very sneaky.
Oh, perfect.
You into gardening?
It's a, it's a gift.
Thanks a lot.
Yeah. No problem.
Find one?
Yeah, this is great.
Perfect.
So both of these
or just this one?
Mm, can you, can you maybe
hold, hold that one for me and,
and I'm gonna take
that one now and think,
think about that one?
With tax it's $5.40.
Great.
Perfect. Keep the change.
Oh, thank you.
Would you like a bag?
No, no.
I'll do my part for
the environment.
Okay.
But I was wondering
if I could call you,
we could hang out or-
- I'm not really
dating right now.
That's perfect.
'Cause I'm not dating
anybody right now.
We're just two single people.
I'm just not dating right now.
Okay.
Hey, thanks again.
Merry Christmas.
You too.
Why do red lights mean stop
and green lights mean go?
And yellow, don't do anything.
Yellow means like, chill out.
Yeah, everything
started with something.
For some reason we decided
that be red was stop.
Hey!
Hey, where'd you learn
to drive you jerk?
Are you nuts?
Are you dumb?
Idiot!
- Bill.
- What?
You can't get out of
a moving vehicle, okay?
Asshole.
I'm an asshole?
No, no. That driver.
You're not an asshole.
You're just a type of schmuck.
I'm a what?
You're a schmucky driver.
I'm a schmucky driver?
Yes.
Okay, Bill.
I literally just stopped this
from getting in an accident.
So.
Let me drive, okay?
Pull over and let me drive.
Oh man. You know, I would,
but we're almost there.
So...
Rich.
Are you low blood
sugar or something?
You know, you're not really
in the Christmas spirit.
Oh, and look at this.
Those assholes are going
to the same church.
Jesus.
And they're taking our spot.
That's our favorite spot.
Thank you.
Wasn't that beautiful?
He gave so that we could live.
So when you wake up on that
morning, take a moment.
Take a moment to say
thank you to Him.
Maybe wish Him a happy
birthday as well.
And I know for some of you
this is a painful time of year.
Some of you have lost your
jobs and you're uncertain
how you're going to manage
to make this holiday
special for your children.
Some of you have lost loved
ones and their absence
during this time is
especially heartfelt
because it's a time
of celebration.
But you can take solace in the
fact that they are in heaven
with their loving father.
Pay attention.
Are you serious right now?
- Sorry about that.
- And they are smiling
down upon you and whispering
the words, "It is well."
"It is well."
It is well
That's the car.
No, what are you, no,
please don't do something.
- Were you the car that-
- Bill.
Hello.
You may not remember,
but we met briefly years ago
when I was singing in the choir.
Oh, oh.
I believe I do remember
seeing you singing up there.
How do you do?
- Tina.
- Tina.
Tina. And this is,
this is my daughter Kate.
Oh, well this is my son, Sam.
Nice to meet you, Sam.
Nice to, nice to
meet you too, Kate.
So, what seems
to be the problem?
This is not turning over.
Oh, let's see.
Maybe the battery.
Oh, I'll go get jumper cables.
That would be
great. Thank you.
Tina, could you just
give it a little gas?
Just a little?
No, it's not the battery.
Okay. It's not the-
No, that doesn't
work unless you-
- Jumper cables.
You gotta attach it to
our car for it to work.
Mom, that's not
doing anything.
It's alright.
Mom, stop, mom, mom, stop!
- What, what?
- It's okay, it's okay.
- What?
- We're fine.
I just need to call a cab.
No, no, no, no, no.
We'd be glad to give
you a ride home.
Sam, get the car.
Really?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- Get the car.
No no no, I insist.
You don't need to do that.
We can just take a cab.
It is our pleasure to
take you wherever you
and your daughter
would like to go.
Okay well, I'm just gonna
get my things together.
Okay, Sam?
Yeah, go ahead.
Do you need help?
No no.
Okay, Sam?
No no no, mom, no.
We're not taking that.
No, we're gonna leave
that in the car.
- Coming?
- Yes, thank you.
- Take your time.
- Mom, let's go, let's go.
I'm taking it with me.
Okay, just...
So you guys always
pick up ladies
in the church parking lot?
Totally.
Yeah. I mean,
I know I need all the help
I can get from the Lord,
especially being Jews
in a Christian Church.
It's 'cause we used to go-
- Sam, Sam, Sam.
- 'Cause my mom would take us.
You don't have to tell
our whole life history.
No, no, that's okay.
Well, he likes to talk.
Tell me ladies, what did you
think of the services even,
by the way?
Oh, I thought
it was beautiful.
Yes, I agree.
You know that the parsons
message was completely within?
I thought, the holiday spirit,
don't you, Tina?
Oh, yes.
And what about
that little girl?
She was so exquisite.
Oh God.
The little dancer with
the invisible baby Jesus.
Wait, are you talking about
the dancer in the beginning?
Yes.
Who crushed the baby?
- Yes! Yes, yes.
- You saw that too?
I was like waiting
for this big gasp,
but it was just
an awkward moment.
Are you making
fun of the girl?
Or are you making fun of Jesus?
No, I'm not making
fun of anybody.
No one's making fun of Jesus.
Well I must have missed it
because I thought that she was-
- Did you not see when she got,
when she crushed the thing?
No, I didn't see it.
And I'm asking you a question.
Why don't you respect this kid?
I don't-
No one disrespects the kid.
Well, it sounds like it.
You're making this
into something that-
- It sounds like it.
That was quite
the ride. Thank you.
Bill, I'm sorry
if I offended you.
Oh, no need to apologize.
It was very nice to meet you.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Are you okay?
You sure you don't wanna
come in just for a second?
Oh yeah.
We met up at church. I'm
sure they're fine.
And I just wanna
sleep in my own bed.
You know how that goes.
Yeah. Okay.
Love you.
Goodnight.
Goodnight. Bye guys.
Thank you again.
You don't wanna spend Christmas
Eve with your daughter?
- Bill.
- I just did.
Isn't it Christmas Eve?
Only one day a year.
Oh, we see plenty
of each other.
Glad to hear it.
Never enough.
When we are apart
I will remember
The sound
Remember when
All right,
I'm gonna lose this.
Oh, come on.
- Double or nothing?
- Fine.
But if the Hawks win, you
gotta give us two free meals.
All right then. Are
you feeling lucky?
I like it.
Mmhmm!
- Hey Bill.
- What?
Merry Christmas.
I gotta give you yours
Thought I forgot. Huh?
You go first.
All right.
Dah dun dah dah!
Dah dun dun dun dah dah dah-
- You know you said you wanted
to learn about gardening, so.
Yeah, I did.
That's what this is?
That's very sweet of you, Sammy.
Okay. Your turn.
Okay. Okay.
What do we got?
See that?
I cleaned out the garage
and that was in the back
with a bike that hasn't been
ridden in about 40 years.
Oh, this is awesome.
I love when the,
the pages get aged and like-
- Yeah, well, you know, I'm
not good at giving gifts,
but you know how
far back this goes?
This is a great gift.
Way back, when I was
fooling around with a pencil.
Oh. Oh wow.
The Hawks might
win this after all.
Up at the free throw line.
Hey, what are you doing there?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
One second, please.
You drawing something?
If you move,
you're gonna ruin it.
Ah!
Did you just do this?
Merry Christmas, Bob.
Well, thank you, Sam.
See, did you see what
your son just drew?
Yeah, I know,
he's very talented.
Maybe one day he's gonna
do something with it.
Oh, shit.
Referee just iced him.
Merry Christmas, brother.
Hey, I wanted to let you know
I'm not gonna be at
the factory anymore.
I quit.
And this is what's
happening now.
Sam, here's your pie.
Also,
it's the afternoon and
I'm not wearing any pants.
And that's the shit!
Good heavens.
What on Earth is he doing?
The company you keep, Sammy,
the company you keep.
It's me!
Mom.
Hello?
Mom. It's me.
Hi.
Katie!
Katie, what are you doing here?
I thought I was
supposed to come to you.
I know, but I just thought
it'd come surprise you.
Well, I wish you would've
at least called me first.
Why, you have
someone in there?
Oh my God.
Did Bill stay over?
Oh, good heavens.
No. Now just stop it.
This is ridiculous.
Mom, let me in.
Wait, I just need-
- Mom, it's cold.
Unchain the fucking door.
That's no way to talk
on Christmas day, Katie.
I'm sorry.
Please unchain the fucking door.
Oh.
I just have to finish dressing
and I'll grab my stuff,
and I have something for you.
Okay.
Hey, do you still
have your trike?
You need a bigger tree.
Or smaller house.
Definitely not that.
Oh, I have something for you.
- Hey.
- I didn't really wrap it.
Oh my word!
I made it.
Katie. Thank you.
And then there's another,
there's another part.
You made this too?
Yeah.
Oh, it looks good.
It looks so good.
Thank you.
I love you so much.
I love you too.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
I don't really have
a Christmas present.
I found these at the house,
and I thought you
should have them.
Fancy ribbon.
Just waiting for
that magic night
I'm sorry.
I'll be right back.
Sammy.
Get that, that piece
of shit out of there.
Okay. You see this?
You water this every
other day. Not every day.
You always get it backwards.
I'm ready for my breakfast.
Here, try this.
Hmm.
Yeah, it's good, right?
Yes. Yes it is.
Yeah.
It's tofu.
What?
It's tofu.
Prick, I might
have spoken too soon.
You got a text?
It's blank.
Here, I'll do it.
What do you punch?
Here, here.
- Oh.
- Ah,
looks like Tina
enjoyed meeting you.
Oh, What?
You gave her your
number, mister sly dog?
I did not.
I called her to apologize.
Wait, what?
I said I called
her to apologize.
Get outta here.
Okay. But I don't know why
you're taking this, like-
- Will you get
outta here please?
It's a good thing.
Oh, will you please
get outta here?
Alright. Alright.
Alright.
Hey Bill, real quick.
You apologized. What did
that feel like for you?
Here's your sausage.
It's tofu.
Tina!
Hi Beth.
I'm so glad you're back.
Thank you, Beth.
I sure wish you'd
rejoin the choir.
You know, singing heals
the heart, always.
I know.
I'm just not quite
ready to come back.
Is everything okay?
Yes, it's fine.
I just didn't sleep last night.
Oh, I understand.
I know all about insomnia.
I get it really bad sometimes.
Do you?
Yeah, but you know
what actually helps me?
What's that?
A nice glass of red wine!
Yeah.
Or even,
the Mary J.
The what?
Marijuana.
Oh!
I know they say it's a
drug and drugs are bad.
But I will tell you what,
that plant works and
they're legalizing it
all across the country.
Is that right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't tell anybody I told you.
Oh, good heavens, no,
I wouldn't think of it.
You have the
chance to win this
Let's get you off there, Bill.
Irregular heartbeats.
Oh, there's a lot that's
irregular about him.
Ha ha.
What about not
smoking, not drinking.
No red meat.
Sam, shut the fuck up, huh?
Here's his prescription.
Is that in the way?
Is that in the way?
What?
What?
What are you-
Not cool, Bill!
You can't see with that
stupid thing in the way.
It's a vintage,
spooky skeleton.
Vintage shit.
Just drive the car safely.
It's a collectors item.
Help me out.
Come on, let's go.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Really, Bill?
Yeah.
We're leaving the
doctor's office.
You can't go five
minutes without-
- Without what?
Can't smoke, can't
drink, can't eat meat.
We're all gonna
die someday, Sammy.
I know, but I'd like
for you to be around for-
- For what?
- For what?
- Yeah, For what?
I don't know. I mean,
maybe someday if I,
if I have a family or...
Family?
Okay. What is your issue?
What do you mean issue?
Why are you so angry?
And don't say it's
'cause mom's gone.
'Cause truthfully, you were
this way when she was here.
I was supposed
to go before her.
I'm the one with the hard shit.
Pull over.
Look, Bill.
If you need someone
to talk to, man,
you can always talk
to me about anything.
I'm just,
not trying to fight with you.
I'm trying to listen.
I don't, I just want
you to be happy.
Give me your sketchbook.
You got a pencil?
Okay, Sammy.
You see that?
That's life.
You got half of yours left.
I don't even have a slice left.
I'm on gravy time.
Hey, come on, Bill.
Get back in the car, man.
Come on Mr. Gravy.
I'm kidding. Bill.
I know I've said
this a million times,
but I really think you
should consider donating
some of your stuff.
I know.
You just have so much good
stuff that people would love.
And you're not using it.
Katie, just finding things
that I'm willing to part with.
Right, hi.
Look at all these good
things you're getting rid of.
Yeah. And I'm not
using them anymore.
So I'm paying 'em forward.
Are you taking
stuff from my box?
No, I'm just looking.
Okay. Please
don't take anything.
Wait.
Are you sure you wanna
get rid of this coat?
Yeah, I'm sure.
Well, I'm not sure
that you should.
Mom, we're not doing this.
Please let me take it.
Look.
It was my idea for you to get
this coat in the first place.
I think I should at least
have some sort of say
over what happens to it.
Mom, you don't need it.
Just let me donate it.
You can take it.
Fine. I don't need it.
Bye.
Bye!
I'm just,
I'm just gonna take this.
When I look into your eyes
They made me realize
Excuse me there.
Pardon me, love.
I just wondered if
I could talk to you.
It's London calling.
Oh hi.
Oh.
Did not, did not take you
for a Rod Stewart fan.
Yeah.
That outfit is...
Can you imagine if you
looked up and I was wearing
that exact same thing?
Like, hey there, Katie.
I think I got something
to say to you.
That's good.
It's not good.
35 bucks though.
I know.
It's an investment, but
I think it's a good one.
Okay. If you say so.
I wonder if they have
a folk section here.
It'd be pretty cool
to find your album.
What did you say?
Okay. I have a confession.
I Googled you.
Albeit, that's not
normally how I roll.
I know. I just,
I shouldn't have.
But I found your music
and it's amazing.
Don't Google me.
Well, I feel weird now
that I said that out loud.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I gotta get going.
Yeah, yeah.
It's nothing you
said. I just have to go.
Oh. Oh, yeah.
Okay. No problem.
Good to see you, Sam.
Good, good to
see you too, Kate.
Thanks, Orian.
Hey Kate. Wait up.
Hey man. Hey, hey!
You gotta pay for that!
Dude, just, I'll
be back, okay?
Calm down.
So outta your league, bro.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to
make you feel uncomfortable.
I-
That's all right.
You going to the bookshop?
Yeah, I was just gonna
grab a coffee on the way.
Well, can I get your coffee?
No thanks.
Not a date,
just a friendly
chat with caffeine.
I'll even show you my,
my sacred sketchbook.
All right.
Sorry to hear about your car.
You know, Bill's really
good at fixing old cars.
Oh, it's okay.
I'll get it figured out.
Wait, so he is your dad, right?
'Cause I just noticed
you only call him Bill.
Yeah. No, he's my dad.
Bill thinks only
children should refer
to their parents as dad.
So, or fathers as dad.
I'm a grown man,
so I refer to him by his name.
Bill.
Fun started when I was 16.
Okay.
Stop stalling.
Okay, just to clarify, when
I told you that it was sacred,
I just meant like,
it means a lot to me.
I'm not saying it's
good or anything.
Yeah.
What is she thinking?
So did you like
train for this?
Did you take, I
don't know, courses?
I did take a couple
classes, but nothing like too-
I was actually working at
this little company though,
before I came back
to take care of Bill.
What kind of company?
Just like a really small
boutique comic book company
that I'm sure you'd
never heard of.
Comic books. Okay.
So where do you work now?
I work at the, at
the Chocolate Factory.
I know the Chocolate Factory.
I mean, I don't,
I've never known anyone
that worked there,
but do you enjoy that?
Not really, no.
But the pay is lousy.
Okay. So then why
the Chocolate Factory?
I don't know.
I, you know,
I used to work there
when I was younger
and then I just kind of
found my way back there.
I mean.
- What?
- You just have,
you're really talented and it
just seems like you should be
doing something
with this, you know?
You sound like Bill.
Well, I think he knows
what he's talking about.
I think they forgot my sugar.
Look, I can get that.
Okay. Thank you.
I actually need
to get to my shop.
Oh, okay.
Your shop?
Yeah, it's my shop.
I own it.
- Oh.
- You didn't
find that out when
you Googled me?
Did not know that.
- Yeah.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.
We actually have a small but
good art section at the shop
that you might find interesting.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Have a good day.
Thank you.
Wow.
That lady was a-
- No way. You guys have
a Philip Guston book?
He's my favorite artist.
It's so cool that you have this.
Hi there.
Oh, this is Sam.
- Hi.
- Hi, Mary.
- Sam.
- Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you, Mary.
Oh my God. This guy's
work is amazing.
It's like cartoon style
and doesn't take
itself too seriously,
but they still put it
up in the MOMA and shit.
The ultimate rebel
amongst rebels.
- He's great.
- Yeah.
Yeah. The colors
are beautiful.
Do you wanna exchange numbers?
Um, not today.
Maybe tomorrow?
Maybe.
Okay. Okay.
Not now.
Thank you for the coffee.
Right.
I think it's, that means
I'm supposed to go now.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
What?
What do you mean, what?
Did you guys have a coffee date?
No, it wasn't a date.
Okay. He was so cute.
And he was into you,
and he loves art!
Okay, settle down.
Okay. All right.
I just thought you guys look
cute together. That's all.
Keep my mouth shut.
I got it. I got it.
Is that, is that Tina?
That's her, pull over.
Hi.
Well, hello there.
Now technically,
we are not in the church
parking lot pickup spot.
Well then I guess
I will just continue
waiting for the bus.
Or,
my son Sam and I
would be more than honored to
take you wherever you'd like.
Now, that's more like it.
I accept.
You think you two can
behave yourself this time?
Hi Tina.
So Tina, you,
you don't have a car?
I mean-
- No, no.
I walk or take the bus.
Sometimes Katie drives me,
but her car's still not running.
Kate, let me see it.
Okay. Oh,.
Sammy, pop the hood.
These gentlemen said you need
new spark plugs, new tires,
and a new carburetor.
But your car is fuel-injected.
You got ripped off,
they're criminals.
Don't worry,
we're gonna fix you up.
And gimme a flathead
screwdriver.
Hey, don't worry.
I see a worried look on you.
You have a light?
- Yeah, yeah. Here.
- Okay. A little more.
A little more, closer.
Give me a, shine
something on it.
I'm thinking he might
just be able to fix it.
I feel like I need to pay him.
Oh, no.
Sam said don't pay him.
- Ladies.
- Don't wanna embarrass him.
Do you have a
big old frying pan
that you don't use anymore?
Frying pan?
Yeah.
And a couple of beers.
Let's see if you get
the car running first.
You're tough.
Oh, that's way too nice.
We'll just go to the
auto parts store.
It's nearby.
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah yeah.
Thank you.
Well, keep your receipts and
I'll pay you back for anything
you spend on parts.
No, no.
Bill. You're not driving.
You're not driving.
Thank you guys.
It's our pleasure.
I know.
We need to cook for them.
- What?
- That's what we can do.
We can cook for them.
I think it'd be a nice
gesture if they fix your car.
Get it running.
What if they don't
get it running?
Well then we'll just
make 'em mow the yard.
That's a great idea.
Don't think I don't see your
sneaky little angle, though.
What are you talking about?
A7, Sammy, air filter, okay?
I'm looking.
Okay.
By the way, Bill, I didn't
mean to get y'all worked up
the other day.
You got upset because I
ripped your toy off the mirror.
No, that was just
mildly annoying.
I'm talking about-
- I know what you're
talking about, Sam.
Can we just focus on
the task at hand please?
And maybe you can remember
that your time here with me
is finite, okay?
So let's get the
work done first.
Okay?
Bill.
Should we go, Mr. Finite?
Sammy Boy, sometimes
you surprise me.
- Now?
- Hit it.
Oh!
Oh, wait a minute.
I'll take an embrace.
Would you guys like
to stay for dinner?
- So good!
- Oh.
You know, we would, but I
got, Bill's got a routine.
I gotta get him home.
No no no no no.
I'd love, I'd love
to be invited.
Well then come on!
What have you got?
It's a surprise.
Dear God.
Thank you for this lovely meal
and thank you for forgiving
our sins, for there
are many of them.
And may you punish those
vicious criminal car mechanics
for not seeing the
error of their ways,
'cause they ain't
gonna do it, dear God.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Oh, thank you.
- Excuse me.
- Tina.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh. Sorry.
That's too much.
That's how you
keep your figure.
Is that okay?
That's great.
Thank you so much.
Ooh, I see what you did there.
Thank you so much
for this whole,
whole thing is really
so sweet of you both.
Oh, well it was really
sweet of you to fix my car.
I can't really take credit.
It was all Bill.
No, my son was part of it.
So, a little bird tells me
you own your own bookstore.
She's had that bookstore
for, what, two years now?
That's right, yeah.
Actually Bill, the
gardening book I got you.
That's where I got it from.
Oh.
Yeah, that was a find.
We don't get books like
that in the shop very much.
You should really
check it out though.
They have all these amazing
old rare books there.
You would really like it.
So a rare young lady
sells rare old books.
She's a rare one.
Word of the night.
Well, let's drink to that.
Cheers.
All of us.
It's good.
Well, I hope you
liked your pot pies.
Oh, it's great.
They were vegetarian
and gluten free.
You guys are sneaky.
Sam does the same thing to me.
I mean, it tastes so good.
You can't tell the difference.
It was really good.
I hate to admit it.
My love must be
Love this song.
My love
I can't see anyone but you
She-bop she-bop
She-bop she-bop
She's something.
Come on.
- What?
- Let's dance.
Oh, I don't dance.
Oh.
I never learned how.
I'll teach you.
I'm too self conscious.
Just have another drink.
Okay.
But you're gonna regret it.
She-bop she-bop
I don't know if it's
cloudy or bright
What?
Come on.
Are you serious?
Shoot.
- It's okay.
- Okay.
For you
Why are you
looking at your feet?
So I can watch your moves.
You should be looking at me.
You and that smile again.
She-bop she-bop
You got that smile.
She-bop she-bop
I'm just following you.
She knows her stuff.
I'll tell you Kate, you got
a really special place here.
Thank you.
It must be nice
owning a book shop.
You get all the books too.
Yeah.
Oh, do you know this book?
This is a good one.
This Andrew Moore book.
Detroit Disassembled?
Yeah.
I can't say that I do.
It's all these
amazing photographs.
Let's see. I feel like you
being an artist would love this.
Well, I'm not
really an artist.
You are what you
say you are, Sam.
Really? You think
that's how it works?
I wish that's how it works.
If it was, I'd be in
the NBA right now.
No, you're way too short.
Okay. That's not nice.
You know, Spud Webb was 5'7".
He won the dunk contest.
How come you didn't
give me your number?
Maybe I did. And you
just didn't notice.
Oh, I'm pretty sure I
would've noticed that.
You're being very
mysterious right now.
I love this.
Yeah. Oh.
Even though it's
falling apart,
there's still something
so beautiful about it.
How are you still single? It
just doesn't make any sense.
Is that a weird thing to
say? It makes no sense.
Why are you?
Complete insecurity.
Self-loathing.
Gotta love yourself first
and I'm working on that.
For you
Mom?
- Okay. What happened?
- Oh God.
What happened?
Are you alright?
It's time to go,
it's time to go.
You okay?
Yeah. It always
happens when I-
- Oh, his drinks? Yeah.
No, I mixed the
wine with the beer.
Here, here, here.
Put your arm around me.
- I'm okay, I'm fine.
- I know, I know.
Thank you both for having us.
We had a great time.
He's okay.
You know how to dance.
I'm okay.
Is this fork clean?
- Mm-hmm.
- You sure?
Mm-hmm.
What's that?
That's a bit
redundant, isn't it?
Oh, these are just studies.
Looks just like her.
Who?
Come on.
I'll take it as a compliment.
You can tell it's
her from my drawing.
Okay.
Let me give you some advice.
Okay?
Yeah?
Sammy, if you want to
get a girl like that,
you gotta start
acting like a man.
Where is this coming from?
Want the truth?
Yeah.
Every day, you're
smoking dope.
You're drawing pictures.
You're working at the Chocolate
Factory, how many years?
No. Bill, no.
- What?
- No.
You need to learn some
boundaries because-
- What?
- You still talk to me
like I'm a teenager.
Teenager?
Yeah.
In my day,
teenagers were dying
for their country at
17, 18, 19 years of age.
Are you talking about
the war right now?
Not to mention the
fact that you're still
living under my roof.
Okay.
Well not to mention the fact
that I'm living under your roof.
I just said that.
Okay.
What do you mean okay?
What?
You know what you need?
What? What do I need?
You need to get laid.
Excuse me. What'd
you just say?
I said you need to get the
old tugboat in the canal.
See this fork? See that hand?
Yeah. Alright, alright.
Alright.
Wanna see what happens?
No, I'm just
saying, Bill, really.
I haven't seen you up and
dancing like that in years.
What are you talking about?
Years. I mean, you looked
like you were having fun.
Why don't you just call
her and ask her out?
You think I could take her out
after I got drunk and messed
up her daughter's house?
Maybe she likes bad boys.
Do you think I have a shot?
Yeah.
I think she'll be
glad that you called.
Hey, you okay man?
Fine.
What's going on, Bill?
I miss your mother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Thank you.
See this?
Huh?
Next time, make
sure it's real pork.
This is real pork, Bill.
Like it doesn't have
any MSG either, right?
I didn't cook it.
I'm glad you're back though.
Hey Mary.
Hey Sam.
How are you?
Good, how are you?
Good. Good.
I'm glad that we're alone,
'cause I wanted to
see if you wanted
to maybe hang out sometime.
Okay.
Kate's right over there.
Hi.
Hey.
I got your drawing.
So you're trying to get
me on some roller skates?
Is that what's happening?
That's what, yeah.
No, but it's,
I should have been more
upfront in the text I sent you.
Tomorrow night, they're
doing this thing at the,
at the roller rink for,
I know it's New Year's.
Um,
I mean if it could be like a
casual friends skating thing.
Fully, fully casual.
Like Mary and Mark could come.
- Please.
- Maybe.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That would be great.
More the merrier.
Okay.
I just meant it like
a fun casual thing.
Cool, yeah, that would be fun.
Great. I do feel
a little silly.
I brought chocolates for
you now though. Yeah.
Oh no, I'll take those.
- Oh yeah. No.
- Thank you.
Enjoy them.
I'll be back tomorrow
with a corsage.
Yeah. Casual.
Yeah.
Bye.
I got a date. I got a date.
I got a date. Hey hey hey hey.
I got a date, I got a date.
Yeah. Yeah.
Now this,
this is the kind of enthusiasm
I was mentioning earlier.
You know, you can taste it
in every bite, can't you Sam?
Hey man.
New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve.
New, new, new, new,
new New Year's Eve.
I got a date.
Oh.
Hey Bill.
Oh, Tina, you didn't have
to stand out here in the cold.
I just came out when
I saw the car lights.
Well.
You look real nice.
Thank you. So do you.
Dude. I'm telling you,
a lot of the most influential
bands just have three members.
Nirvana, Rush, Cream.
Destiny's Child, TLC.
- TLC! Destiny's Child.
- TLC, yes.
There's a ton.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
There's tons, dude.
Love, love them.
It's the power of three.
Records in the truth.
But that's the "All Along
the Watchtower" thing.
Yeah. The U2 Cover.
Yeah. Yeah.
Nice catch.
Yes, yes.
I'm getting a
musician vibe off you.
Yeah.
I actually played in
Kate's band a while back.
No way.
Kate, why didn't you-
Can we get some beers?
- Yes, beers, yes yes.
- Yes.
- Beers are good.
- Want a beer, dude?
- Hell yeah.
- Right on.
I'm gonna check
out the skates.
I'll be out here.
Is she okay?
Yeah, she just doesn't really
like talking about
her music anymore.
Just go skate with her.
We are neon lovers
Watch us fade in to night
Um, my son is the one who
suggested I call you
up and ask you out,
if truth be known.
Did he?
Yeah.
That's so funny.
Katie did the same thing.
They're in cahoots.
I was just thinking,
I wonder if they talked
it over between them.
I'm glad they did, though.
It's been a long time since
I've been out like this.
Me too.
Do you mind if I
take my coat off?
Oh, of course.
I don't know whether
it's hot in here,
or I'm having hot
flashes 'cause of you.
Oh, well.
You don't think they'll
mind if I take these.
I need 'em for my
coffee tomorrow.
No, no, go.
So,
you have a lovely daughter.
Thank you.
And I'm just curious,
is her father,
I mean, if I'm talking
out of line here-
- No no, no.
He left when she
was just a baby.
There was a note.
I think I burned it
in the fireplace.
What an idiot.
I never heard from him again.
Never?
Never.
Well, he doesn't
know what he's missing.
No.
And he's the dumb-ass that
missed out on Katie's life.
Lucky me. Lucky me.
Katie, you know, you were
really something out there.
- Me?
- Oh yeah.
- Mm-hmm, oh yeah.
- Yeah.
Almost as good as Mary.
Not quite as good.
Oh.
- Oh wow, okay, alright.
- Okay.
But she had a better partner.
Oh, thank you, bro.
I don't know, I
thought my partner
was really moving
his hips out there.
Oh yeah, we saw the hips.
Yeah brother,
those hips don't lie.
We saw the hips.
Alright skaters,
grab your partners.
It's the last couples
skate of the year.
Last couples skate
before New Year's.
Grab your partners for the
last skate of the year.
You don't go
Down the same old roads
Yesterday, the ecstasy
La la la la
It used to be a fantasy
He certainly was never
gonna go into the service.
But from the age of four,
he started sketching.
And I'm telling you, he could
sketch right from the get-go,
without any lessons.
- Yeah.
- Anyway,
when June was back
in the hospital
'cause she was
battling cancer again,
Sammy and I visited
her every day.
Sammy sometimes
was there all day.
And he said to me
one time, he says,
"Daddy, why is it that
some of these other
cancer patients
don't have visitors?"
And they didn't.
And I didn't know
what to say to him.
Without me knowing it,
he went over, and
without them knowing it,
he started to sketch
each one of the ones
that never had any visitors.
And he gave each
of them a picture.
I said, "Why'd you
do that, Sammy?"
He says, "I just thought
it would, you know",
make 'em a little happier."
That's Sammy.
He's a better man than me.
Better man than I am right now.
Well, you're not so bad.
I don't know about that.
Let's just not worry
about anything for a minute,
and finish that dance
that we started.
Okay?
What?
You're not dancing.
Can we just stand
here for a moment?
Wow.
They're really
going for it, huh?
Awesome.
Happy New Year.
How's that song go?
It's like, doo doo
do doo doo doo.
You know that?
No.
I'm just trying
to get you to sing.
Oh.
No, it's not gonna happen.
I hope it does someday.
So do you have any New
Year's resolutions?
That's such a dorky question.
No,
that's not a dorky question.
Um,
yeah, I don't know.
I like New Year's, though.
Some people always think
I'm weird for saying this,
but it's actually
my favorite holiday.
Same.
- Really?
- Yeah.
How come?
It's like a clean
slate, you know?
You can start fresh.
Yeah, yeah, I get that.
I usually think of
like a fresh notebook.
- Mm, yeah, exactly.
- Yeah.
Except you're just saying that
'cause you sell the notebooks.
Oh!
Happy New Year, Bill.
Happy New Year, Tina.
You look really nice.
Thank you.
So, how about a night cap?
Oh, I'm not so sure.
Why?
I don't know.
I just...
Huh?
I haven't had anyone
over in so long.
Well, I haven't
been out in so long.
- I tell you what.
- What?
- You wait here.
- Yeah?
And I'll go into the house,
and bring out some drinks.
And we can have a
night cap on the porch.
But it's a little chilly.
Well, I'll bring blankets.
It'll be super cozy.
Well, I may need one more kiss
just to keep warm
until you get back.
Well you wait right here.
Okay.
Thank you for walking me home.
Yeah, of course.
I kinda wish we
stole the skates.
We could've skated home.
Happy New Year.
Yeah, Happy New Year.
Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, I should go.
Yeah.
I should...
Tina?
Tina.
Tina.
Jesus.
Bill?
You okay?
Yeah.
Did I,
did I do something wrong?
No.
Did I do something so right
that you're just like,
overwhelmed with
emotion right now?
Yeah, kind of.
Really?
I mean-
- It'd be a lot cooler
if I wasn't so
surprised right now.
Love that I wish I felt
When my sight's seeing again
Where will you be
Huh.
He's actually using the
gardening stuff I got him.
Is that odd?
Maybe it's a New
Year's resolution.
Thank you for the ride.
I'll fax you?
Okay.
Or should I say hi?
Yeah yeah, say hi to Bill.
He'd love to see you.
Hey Bill.
Car's working great.
Bye, Sam.
Bye, Bill.
Hey Bill.
Did you have a good
time with her there?
Yeah, yeah, I really did.
You didn't feel like saying hi?
Did you lay with her?
What?
Did you lay with her?
Did you get lucky?
You're kidding, right?
No.
Actually, I'm not.
Okay, Bill, I don't know
where this is coming from.
Well, I gotta
tell you something.
I thought you were a gentleman.
What?
And you're not a gentleman.
What the hell are
you talking about?
I thought you were
somebody that I raised,
and you're not that person.
I can use some water.
- Oh my God.
- Get me some water.
Yeah, okay.
Water, please.
You know what
you just said to me
was a terrible
thing to say, right?
- Yeah.
- You do know that?
Yeah, do you know-
- I'm not who you thought I was?
Why would you say
something like that?
Well she's not who you
thought that she was.
- What?
- You don't just
stick it in her the first date.
You have no idea what
you're talking about.
- She's not a bimbo.
- You don't know
what happened.
You weren't there.
You weren't there!
Yeah.
You've been into
casual sex, too.
- You weren't there!
- I don't have to be there.
You're just a
fucking stick-it-in-
- Hey, hey, sorry.
Wait, Bill, Bill.
More atrial fib
than last time.
I've sent your information
and your blood work
over to a colleague of
mine at Wells Hospital.
Trying to get a
little more clarity.
Here's a Life Alert
I want you to wear.
Now come on, Bill.
You know you need to wear it.
You wear it.
We can keep him here
for monitoring overnight.
Hey, no no no.
I'm out of here.
Thanks, Doc.
You know, he didn't
even used to smoke cigars?
He literally started when
the doctor told him not to.
That's funny.
Yeah, I just wish he cared.
Yeah.
Wait, don't move your eyes.
I'm doing the eyelashes.
Ugh, I have to take this.
I'm gonna move.
- Okay, but-
- You good? Okay.
- You might turn out abstract.
- Hey mom.
Wait, wait, slow down.
What?
Oh God, mom, really?
How do you-
No, I don't think he
would've done that.
Well, they're not
gonna come right now,
so maybe I'll come
by in a little bit,
and we can make a plan.
Okay?
I love you.
Bye.
That's not at
all how you were.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
No, I don't know.
Did your dad tell you what
happened the other night?
You know he took my mom out
for like a New Year's date.
No way.
I was encouraging
him to do that.
I didn't think he really would.
Well, it didn't end well.
What happened?
He left, abruptly.
And they haven't spoken.
Damn it, Bill.
In his defense, it's a
lot for anyone to take.
What do you mean?
My mom, um,
well, she would call
herself a collector.
But she's like, a hoarder.
She's a full-on hoarder.
Like her house is totally,
totally full of shit.
I'm sorry.
Anyway,
I guess her house got,
I don't know, someone like
called it in to the city,
and I mean, this
has happened before.
And she has to, we
have to clean it,
clean it up, or she won't
be able to live there.
And then she'll have to like
live with me, or something.
You don't want to
live with your mom?
I don't want to
live with my mom.
We could trade.
You could live with
Bill, I could live-
Is it too soon for me to
move in with your mom?
Well, let me help.
I mean, like, moving stuff.
Yeah, that would
be really nice.
Thank you.
Hey mom.
Mom, you know the routine.
I didn't know you
were bringing Sam.
Well, we're gonna
need his help.
And I also got that
company from last time.
Wow, so many
treasures in here.
I invited someone, too.
Her name is Beth and she,
she's in the choir.
I know a little secret of hers,
so she can't really tell
anybody at church about mine.
Oh well.
A little energy boost.
For the job.
Thank you, Tina.
Bless your heart.
I think I understand now
why you have insomnia.
Um, okay, so, I
brought some gloves.
And I have a company coming
to bring oversized trash bins.
Mom is gonna help us to organize
things into boxes, what-
Mom.
- Well.
- We're dating.
Oh, how nice.
This is so embarrassing.
Oh, just a minute.
Oh, and I've changed my mind.
This chain goes to my bicycle.
That you can't find,
and that is broken.
It's broken, mom.
If we're ever gonna
get this house cleaned,
you're gonna have to start
getting rid of some things.
- I know.
- Okay?
I know, I'm not an idiot.
Okay, here you go.
Thank you so much.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mom.
Thank you so much for coming.
Oh, sure.
I don't know if I should
say something or not.
Well, wait, did she
tell you this, bro?
No, that's what I'm saying.
I saw a picture
and I called you.
She doesn't even
know that I know.
And I don't even
know what I know.
I saw a picture of her
with her family, I guess.
Wait.
That's so bizarre.
But you don't know for
sure that she has a family.
You saw a picture.
That's true, it could
not be her family,
but there's multiple
pictures of her
and some dude and a baby.
I mean.
Oh shit, put this out.
Give me that.
Now!
Oh, you...
That's really, really strong.
I think you're gonna
need my help, ma'am.
Did you see all the TVs?
You think that one works?
I mean, either way, it's cool.
Yeah.
Oh hey, Beth.
Right on, you cleaning
out the fridge?
Good.
Beth.
What are you doing?
Oh, I was just checking
expiration dates.
The expiration
dates mean nothing,
so put it back and
get out of my fridge.
Oh, okay.
I am so sorry.
You too.
Just really,
I can't do this anymore.
I just can't do this anymore.
Beth, are you okay?
Oh, I can't do this anymore.
Well, that's okay
if you need to go.
I understand.
I don't think your
mom's gonna understand.
Probably not.
No.
- Beth?
- Oh, Tina.
I am so sorry, but
I've done everything
that I can do here,
so I'm gonna have to go,
and I promise
I won't tell anybody.
Good.
Goodbye!
Bye.
Don't come back.
She's stoned.
- What?
- Yeah, she smoked.
She's been smoking,
somebody got her high.
- That's awesome, that's real?
- Yeah, yeah it's real.
Where'd you get that?
Oh, oh I'm Ron.
I'm from Texas.
I'm a friend of Sam's.
I'm Tina, this is Kate.
And that's my goose,
and it's a keep!
Okay, everybody get
out of the house.
Everybody with an orange shirt,
get out of my fucking house!
- I'm gonna go...
- You hear me?!
Are you high?
Did you get her high?
Well, I mean, we didn't
convince her, or anything.
It was a bit more
complicated than...
Awesome, okay, you can go.
You can go, too.
I'm just gonna make sure
Beth gets home safely.
I was trying to help.
Alright, you want to help?
Why don't you take
the donate box
from the ironing board thing?
Just the donate box.
Please and thank you.
Okay, okay.
Mom.
Mom, open the door.
No, it's too much,
Katie, I can't do it.
You can do it.
We've been here before.
I know!
I live with this
every damn day, Katie.
I deal with it every damn day.
I just can't, I can't.
Just, just take it all.
Just, just,
just throw it all away.
I don't give a shit anymore.
Are you smoking?
Oh, you want to take
that from me, too?
Fine!
Just take everything!
I'll just die here alone.
Everybody will be happy.
Mom.
I love you.
You're all I got.
Let me tell you, man.
It's about job security.
Because machines are never
gonna replace baristas.
And my cousin owns
the shop already,
so I'm practically
a manager there.
We could put your
artwork up on the walls.
Hey Sam, are you okay, buddy?
I said we could get your
artwork up on the walls.
That's,
that'd be,
that'd really be something.
I just, sorry man.
I can't stop thinking
about this guy's face
in the picture.
I just don't understand.
I'm so confused.
Right, well.
If it's about her ex,
or her other life,
and all that stuff,
I mean, she's gonna
tell you about that
when she's ready.
Ron, we don't know
that it's her ex, though.
We're assuming that.
For all we know, she could
still be with this guy.
I could be the guy on the side.
Some guys like that.
Not me.
Let me tell you
something about love, Sam.
And what springs to mind is
my favorite quote from Rilke,
which is,
"Each partner chooses the other
to be the guardian
of his solitude."
Wait.
Ride-
- It's Kate, it's Kate,
it's Kate, it's Kate.
Hey, hey Kate, what's up?
You took the wrong box.
Did you donate it already?
What?
Did you donate the
box that you took?
You took the wrong box.
Well, I mean, it was
one of those, like,
drop box centers.
I don't even, I just
put it through the-
- Can you get it back?
Can you go see if
you can get it back?
Right, but I'm saying,
I don't even know
if anyone's there.
I can go check,
but your mom has a lot of stuff.
You think she'll even notice?
I had a bunch of
my son's stuff in it.
Shit.
So you do have a son.
I actually saw a photo,
or a few photos at
the house, and of you,
and I guessed your
son and ex-husband,
and I don't want to pry on
your past relationships,
but I wish you would have been
a little more upfront with
me about having a kid,
because-
Okay, shush.
Kate?
Are you okay?
Whatever it is, you can tell me.
Yeah, they died.
In a car wreck.
Kate, I'm so sorry.
Hello?
It might be, did
you look over there?
Where is it, Sammy?
Oh, thanks.
Your call has been forwarded
to an automated
voice message system.
At the tone, please
record your message.
Hey Kate, it's me again.
I just wanted to let you know
I called the number
on the donation box,
but they couldn't track it down.
So I went to all the
donation centers in town,
and I'm gonna keep looking.
I'm not giving up until-
until we, shit!
What are you doing?
You know I like scrambled eggs.
I hate oatmeal.
Oatmeal is good
for your heart.
Why didn't you tell me you
went on a date with Tina?
Didn't know I had to.
Well, do you think
you could've handled
the situation a bit
more delicately?
- What situation?
- What situation?
Yeah.
Walking out on
Tina the other night.
What do you think
I'm talking about?
Probably.
Probably definitely.
Yeah, probably
probably probably.
- Okay, I gotta go.
- Where are you going?
Where are you going?
I'm talking to you!
What are you walking
out on me for?
Okay, what do you need, Bill?
I'm the one who called it in.
You were the one?
Yeah.
You called it in on Tina?
That's right.
Bill, how could you do that?
Because nobody's gonna
tell her the truth.
She needs help.
So you just decide to
just do it all by yourself?
- No one else was gonna do it.
- Oh my God, Bill.
- Listen, listen.
- Do you realize
that I can't tell them this?
I can't tell them this.
What?
You just made
me an accomplice.
No no no, listen, listen.
She's the sick person,
you're a good person.
And you got that
from your mother.
- Oh my God, Bill.
- Wait a minute.
Maybe I'm right
and you're wrong,
and maybe you're right and I'm-
Oh, fucking guy.
One of the
most tragic of the moments
of the war-
- Hey, thanks boss man.
Month-to-month, right?
Hey Sam. Sorry,
just closing up.
Hey, Mary.
Just, she's not here, is she?
No, not right now.
She already left.
I just wanted to
drop this off for her.
Okay, great.
I'll get it to her.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
Good to see you.
Yeah, you too, you too.
Okay.
- Good morning.
- Hey.
What are you
doing here so early?
I came in to get
some inventory out.
Oh, great.
Kate, are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
Hey.
Come here.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Hey Bill, I'm at
the coffee shop,
and if you're hungry,
there's really really good
barbecue in the fridge, okay?
Love you man.
Thank you.
What happened to
the other artist?
Oh, we have a new
artist working now.
Yeah.
Not my cup of tea.
It's a little
unfinished or something.
I don't know.
- Hi.
- Hey, Mary.
How are you?
I didn't know you
were working here.
Well, I'm moving
up in the world.
Yeah, yeah, I can see that.
Yeah.
It's good to see
you, it's been a while.
You too.
How's your long-haired
stallion, Mark?
He's amazing.
Good.
Hi.
Um, just an Americano for me.
Americano.
Uh, what do you want?
I mean, to drink.
Like, what would, can I-
- I'll have an Americano, also.
Another Americano, thank you.
Um, hey thank you for
giving me Levi's toy.
Yeah, of course.
I feel so bad that,
of course.
How did you,
how did you get that back?
Truthfully, I was gonna
keep that one for me.
I mean, I didn't know, so, yeah.
I'm glad that,
Levi's a really cool name.
He was a really cool kid.
Um, it's awesome to see
your art on the walls.
It looks so good.
I'm gonna go play my set.
Hey.
Kill it, compadre.
Have you seen Ron play before?
- No.
- He's so good.
Do you want that
to stay or to go?
To go.
Yeah, okay.
Okay, everybody's got their
coffees and their lattes.
Mr. Vanilla, large.
It's a beautiful
day out there.
It's only getting
better, everybody.
It's getting better.
Well Egyptians,
they have the Nile
And they worshiped
her at the temple
And Ephesians, they
just set their sail
And they traded with
the foreign people
Sumerians, unique
in their form
Foiled a recall
with all their plans
And the Hittites, they
had the spell for iron
And they rained it
down upon the land
And it took 1000 days
just to feel the change
And the anger rising
in the hearts of men
Well who's gonna
save them sons
Hey Bill.
You didn't eat the
barbecue I got you.
Ah, shit.
Bill?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
In true and certain hope
of the resurrection
to eternal life.
Take a moment.
Let me know when you're ready.
Anything you need,
you know where I am.
Thanks.
I'm so sorry, Sam.
If you ever need, you
know, a friend, or...
Yeah, thank you and
your mom for coming, okay?
What do you do
when you're alone
Tired of hiding
in the telephone
You've been used
to another's arms
What are you doing
with a broken heart
And we're off herein
more mortal than
We usually do
We'll all be fine
At least, that's what
we tell ourselves
We'll both be fine
That's what I'll tell myself
Hey.
- Hi.
- Hey,
I'm sorry to just
show up on you.
I just, um,
I just wanted to see you.
You know, it's
been weird lately.
Without Bill around.
I'm packing up his things.
You know, and going
through all of his things,
and I have to figure out
what stays and what goes.
Yeah.
And I feel like I'm
learning things about him
that I wasn't supposed
to know, you know?
Like, I found,
he got discharged.
I found these letters.
The day before they
all went to fight,
he got injured, and they
wouldn't let him go.
You know, so.
And then none of his
friends came home.
Not one.
And he regretted
the rest of his life
that he didn't die,
which is so fucked up.
And it got me thinking
as I was walking
about what I would regret.
That's you, Kate.
I just,
I just can't imagine
you not knowing
what you mean to me.
I missed you.
Would you like to come inside?
Yeah, I do.
It's so good to see you.
Anything about me
strike you as different at all?
I don't know.
I got nothing.
I'm an artist who's
sold his work now.
Oh my God!
You sold a piece?
- Technically, yeah.
- That's amazing!
Ron called me yesterday
and told me a piece
sold at the coffee shop.
What piece?
The monster chasing the girl,
but actually he just
really likes her.
I love that one.
Aw.
You know if I sell
a couple more pieces,
I could even pay for groceries.
Don't fall asleep
That's what I think
when I close my eyes
I don't want to see
A life that could have been
But either way, it hurts
It's hard to find the words
I should be packing
up a lunch box
Rush to meet the school bus
Tell him it's okay
God, I miss that
perfect face
You changed my course
Turned on lights in rooms
That I had always kept dark
And rearranged my heart
So I can breathe again
I can't believe it happened
This wasn't how I planned it
Courts that I would stand in
You take the
weight and share it
You take my heart
and carry it
You make the hard
things better
You gave me life after
I'm not expecting easy
But I see you and you see me
You make my
heart beat faster
You gave me life after
We could make a fresh start
Send our own last words
Draw me in your storyboard
Are you
Are you breaking down
Or is it just the
sound of your walls
Falling all around
I know I know
It hurts to let it be
Oh, the damage in you
Is causing cracks in me
Chain reaction
Chain reaction
You know I love you
You know I do
Wish I could fix it
But I'm broken too
Tell me
Tell me what you'd like
Try to tell you the
truth with my eyes
About 100 times
Driving
Driving in your car
Could've stayed right there
Forever as your passenger
Chain reaction
Chain reaction
Reaction
You know I love you
You know, I sure am
sad that Bill died,
but isn't it sweet that
Sam and Kate found love?
I got a buddy, he's
so special to me
We get together
and we smoke trees
We're smoking trees
Smoking trees
Yeah, we get down like dogs
But we don't have any fleas
Smoking trees, baby
Woo-Hoo
That was pretty good.
