Seagrass (2023) Movie Script

Come on!
Emmy, watch this.
I can do that. Whoa!
Come here.
No, I'll blow away!
Come on!
No.
Come on, just try!
Hey!
We hope you enjoy your trip
with BC Ferries.
Girls, stop it.
Stop.
Hey, Mom, can we
have some money?
-No.
-Please?
-No.
-Pretty please.
What for?
An ice cream. It's only $1.99.
I don't know.
Emmy promises
not to get hyper.
Right, Emmy?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, it is a while
'til dinner, Jude.
And how can you say no
to this sweet, sweet,
angelic face?
Okay. Okay, fine.
Let's see...
okay... this.
Thanks!
Share!

You can enjoy
the sundeck here, if you like,
and breakfast will be served
in your own cabin,
and then, sessions
will start at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
Wonderful.
This is also
the main lodge.
If you need anything,
just go right in,
they'll help you out.
Okay. Thank you.
See? No ants.
Nothing.
All right, come on, hop in.
-You ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Ztt...
Night, sweetie.
Beep, beep,
beep-beep-beep-
beep-beep-beep...
-Night, pumpkin.
-You didn't get me.
Night, Dad.
Okay, who's ready
for some more "Alice," huh?
Me, me!
Okay.
Why can't you read
in my bed for a change?
Because Emmy's smaller.
Not that much smaller.
Okay, well,
come on, then. Hop in.
Come on.
It's gonna be
a little bit snug.
All right, where were we?
Can you find it?
-Here.
-Okay.
That word.
"That depends a good deal
on where you wanna get to,"
said the Cat.
"I don't much care where,"
said Alice.
"Well, then it doesn't matter
which way you go,"
said the Cat.
"So long
as I get somewhere,"
Alice added as an... excamation?
Explanation.
Explamation.
Explanation.
...explanation.
Yeah. That's good.
Hey, you packed
my mom's blanket, right?
It's in the duffel.
Oh.
Thank you.
It'll be good.
Try something new.
Exactly.
Night-night.
Night.
Please?
No, your legs are too hot.
But I'm scared.
Well, I'm right here.
What if I just sleep
at the bottom?
No, then I can't
stretch my legs.
Just wake me up
if you get scared.
Okay.
Ready?
Hug, hug.
Kiss, kiss.
Mm-mm.
Okay, wait here.
Okay.
So you just have to go
to that group over there.
But I don't want to split up.
Don't worry, we're gonna
meet up again later.
Can you take Bone for me?
Sure.
Bye, Bone.
Shut up, Tyler. Just shut up.
Come on!
Okay, ready?
You losers better not drop me.
-You better not drop her.
-Shut up!
Oh, my god, Mike,
you totally grabbed my ass.
Yeah, right. That was Tyler.
That's Sam.
Oh. Cool.
Hi, guys.
Uh, I'm Pat.
I'm Carol's husband.
Uh...
And, uh, I...
um, as Carol
so beautifully said,
we just... we love coming here.
Um... you know, we...
We just always leave
feeling very refreshed, um...
and just so in touch
with one another,
and so...
I'm sorry. I'm so...
Um, just... I'm so proud
of how far we've come.
Sorry, that's probably
enough from me.
Always wonderful
to have you two.
Okay, so... who's next?
How about you two?
Hey, everyone.
Um... yeah, my name is Steve,
and, uh...
oh, sorry, this is
my wife, Judith,
and, well...
I guess we're here
because something isn't
quite going as planned
in our relationship,
so... yeah, I hope that, um,
this will give us
some, uh... tools
and, you know, good discussions
to move forward, so...
Well, hi, Steve.
Very nice to meet you.
Now, I'm wondering, though,
can you tell us a bit more
about what isn't working for you
in the relationship?
Because I think
it's very important
to be specific
about these intentions here.
Well, yeah. I mean...
I think my wife can probably
tell you a bit more about this.
I mean, I'm...
I'm happy, but, um...
Judith has said
that she feels disconnected...
so here we are to, uh,
to get connected again.
Well, think about that, okay?
A marriage
is a... fragile ecosystem.
Right. Right, sure.
I'll, uh...
I will think about that.
Hi, I'm... I'm Judith,
and I-- I wanted
to come here because...
It's-- it's kind of
hard to explain.
It's okay. Take your time.
Well, my... my mom
passed away recently.
Five months ago.
Yeah. And...
I don't know, I'm--
I'm just
suddenly questioning...
I'm sorry. I just...
I'm just really happy
to be here
to, you know, work on things.
Okay. Great. Welcome.
So, now, who's next?
Um... hi, everyone.
Um... yeah, we're--
we're really looking forward
to, uh, exploring--
Gotcha!
Whoa. I wouldn't do that.
Why not?
That cave is haunted.
Really?
Yeah. They say
if you look into the cave
and think of someone dead,
they'll come back to haunt you.
That's not true.
It's only if you go
inside of the cave.
I-- I...
I saw a bone on the ground,
and it moved!
I'm sure
it was just a stick.
It's really dark in there.
No, it was a bone!
A human bone!
Okay, okay, come on.
Ow, it hurts.
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't worry, I've got it.
I've got it.
I've got just the thing.
Oh.
Go-- go ahead.
All right.
Thank you.
Anata wa nihongo
wa hanasemasu ka?
Sorry?
Oh, sorry. I thought
you might speak Japanese.
Oh. Well, I used to, but...
Right. Use it or lose it, right?
You?
Uh, I speak
a little bit of Japanese,
but mainly, um,
Mandarin, Cantonese,
a bit of Spanish.
Yeah. So I moved around
a lot, so...
Oh. How exciting.
Ready?
Hmm?
Ready?
Oh.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Bye.
-Get off. Come on.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Let's go. Picking on me?
-You like that? Huh? Huh?
Who's the champ, once again?
No, no, no, no, no.
Like, just because
she got her period before me,
she thinks she's, like,
superior, or something.
Ugh, so annoying.
I know, right?
I have my period.
Really?
Well, when did you get it?
Like, about a year ago
or something.
Really?
Yup.
It was actually
super embarrassing
when it happened.
Oh, my god, why?
Well...
I was, like,
swimming at the pool,
and there was
this very hot lifeguard
who was, like, about 15,
and we kept on
staring at each other,
but then, you know, stuff
came out, like, everywhere,
and the whole pool stared at me.
Oh, my god.
My mom said
that you don't bleed
when you're in water, though.
Well, do you have
your period, Vicky?
No.
Then how would you know?
I don't know,
that's just what she said.
What happened after that?
My god, that's so early!
Um, yeah,
I mean, it was early,
but it meant we got ten hours.
Four hours to hike up
Huayna Picchu, I think. Right?
And then six hours
just taking in Machu Picchu.
That's the, uh, Incas, right?
Uh... the Aztecs, I think?
Is it the Aztecs?
-Yeah.
I could have sworn
the Incas were in Peru.
Uh... I don't think so.
Okay, well, they were
the ones who were there, honey,
so I think they would know.
Right. Right. Of course.
Either way,
it was just stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
I can imagine.
Well, what about you two,
have you done much travelling?
I'm sure you must have been
back to Asia at some point?
Oh, no.
Yeah, I've... I've actually
never been there.
Oh, really?
So you were born here?
Yeah. Yeah.
So your parents were here
during World War II, then?
Yeah.
Oh, gosh. Were they interned?
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
Greenwood?
I... well, you know, my parents,
they didn't really like
to talk about it.
But I would absolutely
love to go to Japan,
but Steve here
isn't much of a traveller.
Mm, that's... that's not true.
I mean, you like to go to
Palm Springs, and stuff, but---
No, no. Hey, listen,
I love travelling.
Oh. Well, let's go
somewhere sometime, then.
Let's do it!
-Yeah. Okay.
-Let's-- Yeah, absolutely.
Mom, I'm full.
Just finish your milk
and the meat, Steph.
But I'm full.
Just drink
your milk, then, please.
Tomorrow's supposed
to be sunny again.
Hey, that's nice.
Mm.
Emmy, did you make
some friends today?
Well, I'm sure you will soon.
All right. Are you done?
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.
Uh, where--
where do you want this?
Em...
can you drink my milk, please?
It's all warm.
Please?
- Okay... yep.
- Pardon me.
- Okay...
- Let me get it.
No, I got it.
Take the trash out, or...?
Uh, sure.
Thanks.
Chance for Bure!
The shot just wide...
To Bure, just misses the net...
Off Richter...
Finally taken away, though,
by the Rangers,
come the other way,
Messier, up...
trying to cut in...
No!
Yes. I have to go.
Not yet.
But you have to sleep,
sweetie, okay?
But I want cuddles.
Quiet!
Okay, grumpy pants.
Shh. Shh.
It's okay, honey.
But they said
if I thought about someone,
and-- and maybe I accidentally
thought of Grandma.
Sweetie, listen to me.
Ghosts don't exist, okay?
It's okay.
Shh. Don't worry.
Do you know why these
are all different colours?
No.
'Cause Grandma used to unravel
all of the old sweaters
in the house,
and she used the wool
to make blankets.
That way,
nothing would go to waste.
Hmm.
That's funny.
Why is that funny?
Did Grandma
like making blankets?
Well, I don't know
if she liked it,
but she had to do it.
Hmm. Then what did
Grandma like to do?
Um...
Well, she liked to see you.
I mean, besides that.
I don't know what
she liked to do, sweetie.
Why not?
Well, Grandma didn't have
much time to do fun stuff.
At least not when I was young.
Hmm. Poor Grandma.
It smells like her house.
...my skin
is just too fair for that.
And, besides, Pat always says he
prefers me as a natural blonde,
so here I am.
Wow, what a journey.
Mm, it was.
Anyhow, your girls are gonna be
so gorgeous when they grow up.
They just have such
a beautiful exotic look.
Oh, thanks.
I always say to Pat
that we should almost have kids
just for how cute they'd be.
Yeah, you should.
It's-- it's just the best.
Well, I'm not actually
cut out for motherhood.
Besides, I'm too vain
to get stretch marks.
Well, if... if you do decide to,
I-- I'd think
you'd have no regrets.
Yeah, everybody says that,
but... I don't know.
You think you would?
Well, I'm sure
I would love them,
but just because I love my child
doesn't mean
I wouldn't regret some things.
I look at all of my friends,
and they just seem
so tired and miserable.
Ugh.
I'm sure not all parents
are like that.
I'm sure you don't
feel that way.
I just...
Well, I guess I just wonder,
would it actually
make me happier?
Huh.
Anyhow, I don't mean
to be such a bore.
Oh, no, not at all.
I don't wanna pry, but...
I lost my mom
when I was younger,
and I really know
how it can affect things,
especially like a relationship.
Oh. Well, thanks, Carol.
You don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to.
Oh, no, it's--
it's not that, I just...
You know, things are actually
really great between us.
I mean, we have
everything we need,
and we have
two great daughters, and...
You're unhappy.
Well, no, I...
I didn't say that, I just...
You know, my parents' marriage
wasn't about love.
It was about duty,
and responsibility, and...
You know, they had half
of what we have, and...
I don't know, sometimes
it just makes me think,
"What do I even have
to be unhappy about?"
You know?
Do you need a reason
to be unhappy?
Well, no, I...
No, I guess you don't.
You know, I have a theory...
every relationship can work,
if you do the work.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Justin, out.
Out right now.
But-- but, Mom,
I didn't do anything!
-Come on, out.
-But, Mom!
We're done.
Marco!
Polo!
Marco!
Polo!
Marco!
Polo!
Oh, you're not Jenny.
Sorry.
We have to restart!
I bumped into her instead!
No, this way.
Come on, just get off there.
Yeah, right.
Um, yeah!
He was, like,
staring at you yesterday.
Like...
aagh!
Aah! Gross!
Oh, my god, there he is.
Hey, Tyler, you're hot!
Whoa!
Why did you say that?
Oh, my god.
Did you just fart?
Whoa. How did you do that?
It looked like you did a flip.
I don't know.
I was just trying to do
what you were doing.
That was really good.
Thanks.
Okay, girls,
it's time to go!
Okay.
Mom, can I take this
back to the cabin?
No, sweetie,
you have to leave that
for everyone to play with.
But what if it's not here
when I come back?
It will be. Just put it back.
-There you go.
-Thanks.
Bye. I'll be back, I promise.
Make sure
to wipe your feet, girls.
Okay.
They look like a handful.
Oh, yeah. They keep me busy.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Such a beautiful evening.
Isn't it?
Oh. Hi, sweetie.
Hi.
G'day. How you doing?
Oh.
Okay, good night.
Good night.
I was a bit worried
coming here too, you know.
Really?
But you were the one
who wanted to try this.
I know, I know I was. I just...
I guess I didn't know
if it would help
as much as I wanted it to.
Well, do you still
feel like that, or...?
I'm starting to think that we
just need to put the work in,
and that everything
will work out if we do.
I am so glad
to hear you say that.
You know, Pat and Carol
weren't doing too well
when they first
came here either.
Well, you know,
we're not them.
We have a very different
relationship.
No, I know that.
I just mean that if they
can do it, then so can we.
Hmm.
I see stability.
I see...
Look deeper, Steve.
Look at what's really
inside yourself.
Okay.
I see determination.
Do you see anything
that makes you
feel uncomfortable?
No. I...
Sorry, I don't know
if I'm doing this right.
No, it's okay.
Why don't you just
rest your arm?
Now, again, the purpose
of this exercise
is to be vulnerable.
I mean, I'm...
I'm trying to be.
You know, you're not
the only one
to struggle with this one.
It's a tough exercise.
Has anyone else
had trouble with this?
Maybe someone would like
to share their experience?
Uh...
Yeah, this, uh-- this one
was really challenging for me.
It felt...
This was pretty, uh...
In-- in fact, can I...?
- Please.
Can I just... give this a go?
It might be easier
for me to explain--
-Yeah.
-So...
Uh...
What-- what I found really
helped me, at least, get this,
was firstly just to really--
just check in with myself.
You know?
So...
Where's your mom from?
Uh, I think Christina Lake?
No, I mean, like,
where is she from-from?
Oh, her background
is Japanese.
Oh.
You look pretty normal, though.
I mean, you look
like other people.
Except your eyes.
And...
maybe just your face overall
is a bit different.
Oh, my gosh, you're ridiculous.
It's interesting, huh?
It is.
There's three more like this
on the island.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
They're all Japanese
herring salteries--
used to be.
And they all burned?
Yeah, around
the turn of the century.
Hmm.
Arson, apparently.
Hmm.
Your parents fish?
My dad did, yeah.
And-- and his, too.
Oh, wow.
Mm-hmm.
So, did they...
did they have
their boats seized?
You know so much
about all this.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a...
a bit of a history buff.
I think I've been programmed
not to think
about certain things.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I mean, my parents were...
I think they were a bit
ashamed, or something.
Hmm.
So, I was...
I was wondering, right...
and you don't have to answer,
but did your parents--
did they ever
go back to the coast when they--
you know, when they
were allowed to?
No, they-- they stayed
in the interior.
Huh.
Cool.
You know, it's funny,
but I never swam in the ocean
until I was 21.
-What?
-Yeah.
Really?
Yeah. I mean, I always
wanted to as a kid,
but, you know, my parents
didn't have a lot of money
for trips and stuff,
so it just never happened.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I remember I never told any
of the other kids in my class.
It just seemed like
everyone else had been.
That's actually
a bit of a secret.
What, the... swimming?
Steve doesn't even know.
-Get out of here!
-Yeah.
-Why?
-I don't know.
I just think he would think
it's weird, or something.
I mean, he spent every summer
in a beach house, so...
Well, I don't think
it's weird.
In fact, it--
-Boo!
-Boo!
Hey. Hello. Ah, you got me! Ah!
Stop!
Forward! Onward! Aah!
Were you behind me
the whole time?
Here's your tea, Bone.
Emmy, you'll never believe this,
but there's a kitten
in Mom and Dad's closet!
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
Go on.
Go.
It's-- it's really cute.
Meow!
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
Meow, meow, meow,
meow, meow!
-Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
-Don't! Don't!
Meow, meow, meow, meow!
Ew, gross! Ew!
Don't.
What?
Emmy, come out. I'm sorry.
Come on, Emmy.
It wasn't my idea, I swear.
Fine, don't forgive me, then.
See if I care.
Well, I guess you don't love me
if you can't forgive me.
Well, fine,
if you don't love me anymore,
I guess
I won't love you anymore.
Just let me ask her.
What did you do?
What-- what were you doing?
Well, we were playing tag--
And you broke the closet.
Do you realize that we're gonna
have to pay for this, Steph?
It won't be much, Jude.
Can you just
back me up here?
Fuck, what do you
want me to do? It's a closet.
I want you to back me up,
and please do not swear.
Um... it was my fault.
I accidentally
ran into the door.
Yeah,
she didn't mean to, but--
See, you can't
just keep doing this.
You can't just
keep blaming your sister
for everything
that goes wrong, Steph.
I'm not.
May I be excused?
No, finish your food.
Honestly, I think if we just
get these track things replaced,
it should be pretty easy.
I don't think
it'll be too expensive.
Hey, don't worry.
I'll... I'll fix it.
What is it?
I'm a bad mom.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
You're not.
You know, my mom
did everything for us.
Her whole life was for us.
Well, you know, that's...
that's what moms do.
But not me.
Yes, you do.
No, I really don't, Steve.
Of course you do.
And I don't even know
where my parents
were interned, you know.
I don't even speak
the language they spoke.
I don't know
any of my mom's recipes.
I...
I know nothing.
Well, maybe you can ask
one of your siblings.
You don't get it. It's...
It's not just
about knowing, it's...
I should have asked her, and...
she should have wanted
to tell me.
Well, why do you think
she didn't?
You know, things
are gonna be okay.
Okay?
Stephanie?
Yeah?
Do you think we would die
if there was
a big earthquake here?
Maybe.
Really?
Don't worry, there probably
won't be any.
But what if there is?
I'll make sure you'll be safe,
don't worry.
What if the cabin
caught on fire?
How would the cabin
catch on fire?
I don't know,
but what if it did
and the fire blocked our door?
Well, we'd climb out the window.
What about Mom and Dad?
They'd climb out the window
and meet us outside.
Steph?
Yeah?
Do you really think
Grandma's a ghost now?
Even a nice one?
No.
But what about in the cave?
It's not true. They were just
trying to scare you.
Hmm.
Em?
Yeah?
You want to sleep
in my bed tonight?
Okay.
Ready?
Hug, hug.
Kiss, kiss.
Mm-mm.
You're it!
Hey, that's, uh... that's not
the new Jaguar XJS, is it?
Uh, yeah. It is, actually.
V12, right?
Uh...
You know what?
Maybe, I don't even know.
I'm not really that much
of a car guy.
Not a bad car
for a non-car guy.
I guess.
Hey, uh...
how was yesterday for you?
Yeah, good.
Any...
I don't know, any, uh,
thoughts, feelings, emotions
come up since then?
Uh... nope.
Well, if anything comes up,
happy to chat, any time.
Happy to chat any time.
Appreciate it.
Hey, uh,
the great Buddha once said,
"Greater in battle than the man
who would conquer
a thousand-thousand men
is he who would conquer
just one...
himself."
Cool, right?
Hmm.
Yeah, it's, uh...
it's interesting.
Aren't you going to the pool?
I'm grounded, remember?
Right. Right.
Hey, Steph?
Want to go to town?
Really?
Sure.
Come on.
Good, good times
All summer long
All summer long
Good, good times
Warm sunshine
I got it.
You should be a singer.
Good, good times
-Really?
All summer long
-I reckon.
Ba-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba-ba
Excuse me.
I bet you can't do a handstand.
Oh yeah?
How'd you like that?
That was very good.
Steve?
And fixed.
Did you take that
from the pool?
Yeah.
Oh. How come?
I don't know.
Hmm.
I just don't understand
why you have to die.
Yeah, but we already
made the dance.
We can't just
restart the whole thing
just because
you want to change it.
Okay.
Okay, ready!
Goodbye to you
my trusted friend
We've know each other
since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed
hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts
and skinned our knees
Goodbye, my friend
it's hard to die
When all the birds
are singing in the sky
Now that
the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me
and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time
Goodbye, Papa
please pray for me
Whaa!
I was the black sheep
of the family
You tried to teach me
right from wrong
Too much wine
and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye, Papa
it's hard to die
-Yay. Bravo!
-Whoo!
Whoo! You okay?
Okay.
So good.
-You okay?
-You okay?
It was good.
It's okay. Hmm? It's okay.
I'm cold.
Can you warm me up a bit?
Yeah. Of course.
Yeah, that's better.
You remember when we used
to fall asleep like this
every night?
Yeah.
It was nice.
Well, you always complained
that my leg hairs tickled you.
Yeah, well,
nothing's changed there.
Touch me.
Lower.
Mm...
Just a...
just a little bit lower.
-How's that? Yeah?
-Yeah.
How's that for you?
Yeah, good. Good, yeah. You?
Yeah, just a... just
a little bit to your left.
Yeah, that's better.
Maybe just a little bit slower.
Yeah, that's... that's better.
I'm sorry.
I don't know, I just feel like
maybe it's not the right time.
I'm sorry, I just think
I'm not in the right mindset
or something.
No, I get it. Me too.
Are you still cold?
No. No, I... I think I'm okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Aah!
I...
I will not reject your love!
Aah!
Aah! Aah!
I will not! I will not!
I will not!
Great, Pat.
That was great.
Well done.
Ah.
Okay.
Ah!
That's great, Steve.
It's a start.
-Ah.
-That's good.
Ah.
What else is there?
Ah! Ahh!
Okay, ahh, ahh.
Now give me some words.
I hate... aah! Aah! Aah!
Ahh! Words!
What do you hate?
That's stupid! Aah!
What's stupid?
Come on, Steve.
Words. Words. Give me words!
I don't have
any fucking words! Okay?
Steve!
Okay. It's okay.
Whoa... Jackie Chan here!
Okay. No, no, no.
You-- wait, wait, wait.
-That's it.
You touched the rope.
-What?
-You touched the rope.
No, I didn't.
No, it's a re-match.
Your arm definitely
grazed the rope.
All right, give me that.
Let's go.
You ready?
Whoa! You all right?
Steve. Steve... you all right?
You got me. You win.
Well, actually, you...
that was yours.
Hey, where
are her water wings?
It's okay,
I-- I was watching her.
Go get dressed, sweetie.
But she's fine, Mom.
Oh, thanks.
One more.
Here.
Chinese, Japanese,
dirty knees, look at there!
Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees,
look at these!
I'm Japanese.
Hey. Hey, Don't do that, okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I just... I...
Go get dressed, sweetie, okay?
Come on, you got this.
But I don't know how, though.
It's easy,
just dance sexy near him.
You'll be fine.
Hey, come on! Is this
thing happening or what?
Oh, don't you worry,
it's happening.
Look, you chose "dare,"
so if you back out now,
you'll look like a loser.
You just gotta tough it out.
You got this.
Okay, boys...
get ready for Miss Sexy Steph,
the amazing lap dancer.
Whoo, whoo, whoo,
whoo, whoo!
Come on, hot stuff!
Come on, baby!
There's no way.
Let's go, Steph!
Yeah, Steph! Whoo!
Come on, Steph! Whoo-hoo!
Come on, let's see
something real!
Let's see some action! Let's go!
Oh, yeah!
Yes! Go, Steph!
Yeah. There you go!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! Come on, move your feet!
Yeah, Steph. Let's go!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Steph! Steph! Steph! Steph!
Oh, my god,
you farted in the hot tub?
Shit, I've gone in there,
like, five times since then!
Whoa-ho-ho!
What the fuck, Sam?
What? It's not a big deal.
It's embarrassing.
Don't worry, it's fine.
They honestly
just thought it was funny.
Yeah, but still.
Steve?
Mm?
I'm scared.
Why?
I had a bad dream.
It's okay.
But why not?
Because we need you
to babysit.
Well, why can't she
just stay at our--
No, because I don't
want you two goofing off
and ignoring her.
-But I--
No, Steph, it's not
happening. Okay?
Emmy, not that one.
Why not?
It's too big.
Just get the small ones, okay?
Maybe Steph can carry it.
No, I don't want to.
Just say bye to it, okay?
Bye.
See you at 7:30!
See ya!
What?
Nothing.
Well, what? Tell me.
Oh, just thinking.
It must be true what they say
about Asian men.
What?
Well, nothing,
it's just clearly he's
overcompensating for something.
Oh, don't be stupid.
Well, have you ever
been with one?
No.
But, you know, I saw my dad's
all growing up,
and they're
all perfectly normal.
How did you see your dad's...
you know?
-Penis?
-Yeah.
Well, you know,
just baths and stuff.
You bathed with your dad?
No, not bathed,
but, you know, we'd all wash up
outside of the tub,
and then we would hop in
to rinse off.
You all used
the same bath water?
Yeah, so what?
Okay.
Well, we were all clean.
We would... we'd clean off
before we'd get in.
What?
Nothing.
Well, obviously
you're angry now.
No, I'm not mad.
Sure, you're not mad, then.
I'm not mad exactly, I...
I just...
I find it...
I don't know...
I find it a bit racist,
what you just said.
Racist? How is that--
Shh!
How it that racist?
I don't know, okay?
It just felt...
it's... it's emasculating.
Oh, you don't think that Pat
tries to emasculate me
all the time?
I don't know. I don't know how
to explain everything perfectly,
it just-- it feels racist.
Well, I'm married to you,
so why would I be a racist?
I don't know.
I didn't think so.
Starting early, huh?
Well, yeah, I gotta
listen to Pat
talk about himself all night.
-Let's just cancel, then.
-No, no, no, no.
No, because I don't wanna go
if you're gonna be sulking
the whole time.
I'm not--
Steve!
Oh...
Oh, my...
Right, so then I'm, like...
I'm, like, "No, I need
to leave immediately,"
which she doesn't understand,
because "immediately"
kinda sounds like "diarrhea."
Right? So now... I was just...
Oh, my god, it was just...
It was horrible.
Oh, my god, you two just have
the best travel stories.
Yeah, they kinda pile up.
-Yeah.
-They kinda pile up, don't they?
So I, uh--
I looked up the Incas.
What's that?
Yeah, you know,
the, uh-- the Incas?
The people
who populated Machu Picchu?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
What... what about them?
Yeah, it wasn't the Aztecs.
Just so you know.
Okay. Yeah, good to know.
A... B... C...
D... E... F...
Okay.
All right, up next,
we've got Judith singing
"I Give to You."
Everything I'll ever have
Even things I'll never have
I give to you
All the love I've ever known
And the only heart I own
I give to you
Life is but a game of chance
Why gamble
if there's no romance
Within your heart
Though there's a time
we all must cry
Spread your lover's wings
and fly
Just make a start
And you'll never depart
From the road
that leads to happiness
A world that's only glorious
I give to you
Open up your heart to me
I promise
that I will completely
Live for you
Time is short
and love is rare
Take the joy
that's ours to share
You're the only one I adore
Everything I have is yours
This I give
To you
-Is there anything cool?
-Um, besides...
Where are you going?
Don't worry, I'll be back
before Mom gets here.
But you're supposed
to be babysitting me.
But you're not
a baby, are you?
Wait, let me go with you.
No, Emmy.
Please!
I said no!
So, anyway,
then I asked him...
Hello?
Come on, this way.
Shh.
So, I didn't-- I didn't wanna
upset the poor woman, right,
so I just--
I just shut my mouth.
Can you imagine him
standing there for an hour?
Yeah. It was too much,
honestly. Too much.
Hey, buddy. You're, uh...
you're--
you're holding it wrong.
Further back. Yeah.
Yeah? Thank you.
Look who's an expert now.
You know, I taught Steve
everything he knows about pool.
You can't teach that, Judith.
You know,
Steve loves to show off.
And Judith loves to be
a bit of a bitch sometimes.
You see what a charmer
this guy is?
Hey, guys.
We don't have to, you know--
Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.
I think this is healthy.
We should talk it out,
Steve... finally.
No thanks.
Of course. Steve doesn't like
to talk about his feelings.
He doesn't think it's manly.
You know, it's
interesting you say that.
I mean, like,
men especially experience--
You-- you know what, Pat?
I-- I'm sorry, I'm just gonna
stop you right there, pal. Okay?
I'm sorry.
I-- I didn't mean to--
What? You didn't mean to what?
Offend you.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Well, you-- you did. Okay?
Everything you do offends me.
Your presence offends me.
Your stupid fucking face
offends me, to be honest.
Judith, what...
what are you--
Whoo!
Judith.
Judith, let's go.
Hey.
Come on, let's...
Every morning, I'm feeling
Afternoon, it's passion
Judith! Judith!
Oh yeah!
I'm not so sure
what's happening
Come on, please.
Judith, come on!
Okay, come on. That's it.
Oh.
Let's go.
Oh, no, thank you.
John over here
has offered me a ride back.
Well, I don't--
I don't have to.
No, sure you do.
Let's go.
Maybe we should just go back.
Don't worry, she'll be fine
for, like, ten minutes.
Can you keep it straight?
I can't see.
Why do you hate Vicky so much?
I don't hate her.
I just think she's annoying.
Well, you're pretty mean
to her, though.
I'm not mean to her.
Well, whatever.
I mean, who cares?
If you want to go
and hang out with Vicky,
then go for it.
No, I don't, really.
Well, then, why are you
talking about this?
I said keep it straight!
What the fuck?
You weirdo. Fuck you!
Fuck you too!
Hey! Hey!
Come on!
Get out of the car, Judith.
Hey, get the fuck
away from my wife!
Huh?
Steve...
No.
Come on, Judith,
let's go inside.
I am.
Go this way. Come on.
- Here.
- Don't.
Don't.
Don't.
- Steve.
- Come on.
Tea?
No thanks.
You'll feel better.
I can't.
Don't you have
anything you wanna say?
Oof. Steve, not now.
Well, I don't want
to waste our time here,
so come to the workshop
if you feel better.
Such good work. That's great.
Okay.
Steve, would you like
to go next?
Oh. Uh...
well, maybe since Judith
isn't here, I should pass.
Are you sure?
You can go on your own,
if you want to.
Yeah, okay. Sure.
Okay.
Now...
I want you to take a moment,
and I want you
to picture Judith's face...
her hands...
what it means to have her
in your life.
And now I want you to think
about what it would be like
if she were gone.
I, uh...
I-- I can't see her right now.
That's it, Steve.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes.
Good afternoon,
thanks for joining us.
We begin with breaking news.
It was a hectic scene
here last night...
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
change my diaper!
...as riots broke out
all over the city
following game seven
of the Stanley Cup finals.
As city officials dealt with
the aftermath of the riots...
Waah, waah,
you missed a big piece of poo!
...how could it happen
here in Vancouver?
The images and videos
from last night's
violence and looting
are more what you would expect
to see in a big American city.
Waah, waah.
Pictures from last night's
riots
are being circulated
around the world...
Waah, waah. Mommy. Mommy.
...damaging the reputation...
Boo-hoo-hoo.
...and orderly Canadian city,
while in New York...
Hey, can you turn that down,
please?
Waah, waah, waah.
Huh?
...in Vancouver, it was
unbelievably different...
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
I think I have
a big piece of poo in it.
You're a bad mommy!
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
I'm hungry.
Give me some food.
Okay, baby,
I'll make you a nice--
No, give me your milky.
-Oh, you want--
-Milky! Milky! Milky!
-Okay, okay. Here.
-Give me your milky!
-Ah, don't.
-Milky! Milky! Milky!
-No! Don't!
-Milky! Give me your milk!
-No! No!
-Give me your milk!
Don't!
Aah!
-Mom! Stephanie--
-Enough!
Can you two just please shut up
for one goddamn second!
-But--
-No, I don't care.
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care!
I cannot fucking take you
anymore!
...is on life support.
Sadly, he is not
expected to survive.
Most of today's newscast
is devoted to what happened
and what exactly went wrong,
and a warning, it contains
some strong language
and scenes of violence.
Stu McDonald
was one of the reporters
covering the riot
from last night,
and he's returning today
to his vantage point
at Robson and Thurlow
to fill us in some more
on what happened.
Wait, I didn't...
Wait, I didn't mean to--
Stop it! Don't!
Stop!
Grandma?
Okay,
you check the pool,
and I'll go
to Sam's cabin, okay?
Sure, yeah.
Steph!
Emmy!
- God.
- What? What?
Nothing! This is pointless.
They're probably
just gonna come back
when they aren't angry anymore.
Okay, well,
until they do,
we're gonna
keep looking for them.
What, you just wanna
leave them out here, Steve?
No! I mean...
They're gone because they're
angry, not lost, Judith.
Okay, so it's all my fault
now, is it? Sure.
Well, whose fault
do you think it is?
Oh, whatever! You know,
none of this
actually would have happened
if you'd been
looking after them for once
instead of being
glued to the TV!
I wasn't even watching it.
I was... I was fucking thinking.
Oh, right, right.
Thinking conveniently
in front of the TV.
Well, what? So watching TV
is some sort of crime now?
It's not like your dad
didn't watch TV.
What does my dad
have to do with this, huh?
Nothing, I'm just saying
that that's what dads do.
What-- what does that--
what does this have to do
with anything, Steve?
TV! Judith! TV!
Did your dad not watch TV?
Yes, he watched TV! So what?
So dads watch TV sometimes!
It's not the end
of the fucking world!
You know what? My dad, he worked
12-hour shifts, you know that?
So?
So he was tired after
he worked 12-hour shifts!
I'm not the one who told him
to have so many kids.
Are you serious?
Did you seriously
just say that?
I'm just saying,
if your family was so poor,
why have so many children?
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if
they weren't so poor, then, huh?
I'm not the one
who made them poor!
Yeah, well, it wasn't
them either!
Steph! Emmy!
-Steph!
-Where's Emmy?
She's not with you?
Steph! Steph!
Stephanie, wait!
Steph?
Steph!
Steph?
Stephanie!
Steph!
Emmy?
Emmy?
Emmy?
Steph!
Emmy!
Shh. Shh.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm here now.
I'm here, don't worry.
- Steph! Steph!
- Steph!
It's okay.
Emmy! Stay where you are!
Come on.
Come on.
We should go home tomorrow.
I don't wanna be here anymore.
Me neither.
Okay.
Judith?
I don't know
if I've ever loved you.
But somehow, I...
I convinced myself
that I didn't need to.
Come on!
Emmy, watch this.
I can do that. Whoa!
Come here.
No, I'll blow away!
Come on!
No.
Come on, just try!
Hey!
We hope you enjoy your trip
with BC Ferries.
Girls, stop it.
Stop.
Hey, Mom, can we
have some money?
-No.
-Please?
-No.
-Pretty please.
What for?
An ice cream. It's only $1.99.
I don't know.
Emmy promises
not to get hyper.
Right, Emmy?
Mm-hmm.
I mean, it is a while
'til dinner, Jude.
And how can you say no
to this sweet, sweet,
angelic face?
Okay. Okay, fine.
Let's see...
okay... this.
Thanks!
Share!
If you're happy
and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're happy
and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're happy
and you know it
And your face
will surely show it
If you're happy
and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're happy
and you know it
Stomp your feet
If you're happy
and you know it
Stomp your feet
If you're happy
and you know it
And your face...
You can enjoy
the sundeck here, if you like,
and breakfast will be served
in your own cabin,
and then, sessions
will start at 9:00 a.m. sharp.
Wonderful.
This is also
the main lodge.
If you need anything,
just go right in,
they'll help you out.
Okay. Thank you.
See? No ants.
Nothing.
All right, come on, hop in.
-You ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Ztt...
Night, sweetie.
Beep, beep,
beep-beep-beep-
beep-beep-beep...
-Night, pumpkin.
-You didn't get me.
Night, Dad.
Okay, who's ready
for some more "Alice," huh?
Me, me!
Okay.
Why can't you read
in my bed for a change?
Because Emmy's smaller.
Not that much smaller.
Okay, well,
come on, then. Hop in.
Come on.
It's gonna be
a little bit snug.
All right, where were we?
Can you find it?
-Here.
-Okay.
That word.
"That depends a good deal
on where you wanna get to,"
said the Cat.
"I don't much care where,"
said Alice.
"Well, then it doesn't matter
which way you go,"
said the Cat.
"So long
as I get somewhere,"
Alice added as an... excamation?
Explanation.
Explamation.
Explanation.
...explanation.
Yeah. That's good.
Hey, you packed
my mom's blanket, right?
It's in the duffel.
Oh.
Thank you.
It'll be good.
Try something new.
Exactly.
Night-night.
Night.
Please?
No, your legs are too hot.
But I'm scared.
Well, I'm right here.
What if I just sleep
at the bottom?
No, then I can't
stretch my legs.
Just wake me up
if you get scared.
Okay.
Ready?
Hug, hug.
Kiss, kiss.
Mm-mm.
Okay, wait here.
Okay.
So you just have to go
to that group over there.
But I don't want to split up.
Don't worry, we're gonna
meet up again later.
Can you take Bone for me?
Sure.
Bye, Bone.
Shut up, Tyler. Just shut up.
Come on!
Okay, ready?
You losers better not drop me.
-You better not drop her.
-Shut up!
Oh, my god, Mike,
you totally grabbed my ass.
Yeah, right. That was Tyler.
That's Sam.
Oh. Cool.
Hi, guys.
Uh, I'm Pat.
I'm Carol's husband.
Uh...
And, uh, I...
um, as Carol
so beautifully said,
we just... we love coming here.
Um... you know, we...
We just always leave
feeling very refreshed, um...
and just so in touch
with one another,
and so...
I'm sorry. I'm so...
Um, just... I'm so proud
of how far we've come.
Sorry, that's probably
enough from me.
Always wonderful
to have you two.
Okay, so... who's next?
How about you two?
Hey, everyone.
Um... yeah, my name is Steve,
and, uh...
oh, sorry, this is
my wife, Judith,
and, well...
I guess we're here
because something isn't
quite going as planned
in our relationship,
so... yeah, I hope that, um,
this will give us
some, uh... tools
and, you know, good discussions
to move forward, so...
Well, hi, Steve.
Very nice to meet you.
Now, I'm wondering, though,
can you tell us a bit more
about what isn't working for you
in the relationship?
Because I think
it's very important
to be specific
about these intentions here.
Well, yeah. I mean...
I think my wife can probably
tell you a bit more about this.
I mean, I'm...
I'm happy, but, um...
Judith has said
that she feels disconnected...
so here we are to, uh,
to get connected again.
Well, think about that, okay?
A marriage
is a... fragile ecosystem.
Right. Right, sure.
I'll, uh...
I will think about that.
Hi, I'm... I'm Judith,
and I-- I wanted
to come here because...
It's-- it's kind of
hard to explain.
It's okay. Take your time.
Well, my... my mom
passed away recently.
Five months ago.
Yeah. And...
I don't know, I'm--
I'm just
suddenly questioning...
I'm sorry. I just...
I'm just really happy
to be here
to, you know, work on things.
Okay. Great. Welcome.
So, now, who's next?
Um... hi, everyone.
Um... yeah, we're--
we're really looking forward
to, uh, exploring--
Gotcha!
Whoa. I wouldn't do that.
Why not?
That cave is haunted.
Really?
Yeah. They say
if you look into the cave
and think of someone dead,
they'll come back to haunt you.
That's not true.
It's only if you go
inside of the cave.
I-- I...
I saw a bone on the ground,
and it moved!
I'm sure
it was just a stick.
It's really dark in there.
No, it was a bone!
A human bone!
Okay, okay, come on.
Ow, it hurts.
It's okay. It's okay.
Don't worry, I've got it.
I've got it.
I've got just the thing.
Oh.
Go-- go ahead.
All right.
Thank you.
Anata wa nihongo
wa hanasemasu ka?
Sorry?
Oh, sorry. I thought
you might speak Japanese.
Oh. Well, I used to, but...
Right. Use it or lose it, right?
You?
Uh, I speak
a little bit of Japanese,
but mainly, um,
Mandarin, Cantonese,
a bit of Spanish.
Yeah. So I moved around
a lot, so...
Oh. How exciting.
Ready?
Hmm?
Ready?
Oh.
Oh, right. Yeah.
Bye.
-Get off. Come on.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Let's go. Picking on me?
-You like that? Huh? Huh?
Who's the champ, once again?
No, no, no, no, no.
Like, just because
she got her period before me,
she thinks she's, like,
superior, or something.
Ugh, so annoying.
I know, right?
I have my period.
Really?
Well, when did you get it?
Like, about a year ago
or something.
Really?
Yup.
It was actually
super embarrassing
when it happened.
Oh, my god, why?
Well...
I was, like,
swimming at the pool,
and there was
this very hot lifeguard
who was, like, about 15,
and we kept on
staring at each other,
but then, you know, stuff
came out, like, everywhere,
and the whole pool stared at me.
Oh, my god.
My mom said
that you don't bleed
when you're in water, though.
Well, do you have
your period, Vicky?
No.
Then how would you know?
I don't know,
that's just what she said.
What happened after that?
My god, that's so early!
Um, yeah,
I mean, it was early,
but it meant we got ten hours.
Four hours to hike up
Huayna Picchu, I think. Right?
And then six hours
just taking in Machu Picchu.
That's the, uh, Incas, right?
Uh... the Aztecs, I think?
Is it the Aztecs?
-Yeah.
I could have sworn
the Incas were in Peru.
Uh... I don't think so.
Okay, well, they were
the ones who were there, honey,
so I think they would know.
Right. Right. Of course.
Either way,
it was just stunning.
Absolutely stunning.
I can imagine.
Well, what about you two,
have you done much travelling?
I'm sure you must have been
back to Asia at some point?
Oh, no.
Yeah, I've... I've actually
never been there.
Oh, really?
So you were born here?
Yeah. Yeah.
So your parents were here
during World War II, then?
Yeah.
Oh, gosh. Were they interned?
Uh, yeah. Yeah.
Greenwood?
I... well, you know, my parents,
they didn't really like
to talk about it.
But I would absolutely
love to go to Japan,
but Steve here
isn't much of a traveller.
Mm, that's... that's not true.
I mean, you like to go to
Palm Springs, and stuff, but---
No, no. Hey, listen,
I love travelling.
Oh. Well, let's go
somewhere sometime, then.
Let's do it!
-Yeah. Okay.
-Let's-- Yeah, absolutely.
Mom, I'm full.
Just finish your milk
and the meat, Steph.
But I'm full.
Just drink
your milk, then, please.
Tomorrow's supposed
to be sunny again.
Hey, that's nice.
Mm.
Emmy, did you make
some friends today?
Well, I'm sure you will soon.
All right. Are you done?
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay.
Uh, where--
where do you want this?
Em...
can you drink my milk, please?
It's all warm.
Please?
- Okay... yep.
- Pardon me.
- Okay...
- Let me get it.
No, I got it.
Take the trash out, or...?
Uh, sure.
Thanks.
Chance for Bure!
The shot just wide...
To Bure, just misses the net...
Off Richter...
Finally taken away, though,
by the Rangers,
come the other way,
Messier, up...
trying to cut in...
No!
Yes. I have to go.
Not yet.
But you have to sleep,
sweetie, okay?
But I want cuddles.
Quiet!
Okay, grumpy pants.
Shh. Shh.
It's okay, honey.
But they said
if I thought about someone,
and-- and maybe I accidentally
thought of Grandma.
Sweetie, listen to me.
Ghosts don't exist, okay?
It's okay.
Shh. Don't worry.
Do you know why these
are all different colours?
No.
'Cause Grandma used to unravel
all of the old sweaters
in the house,
and she used the wool
to make blankets.
That way,
nothing would go to waste.
Hmm.
That's funny.
Why is that funny?
Did Grandma
like making blankets?
Well, I don't know
if she liked it,
but she had to do it.
Hmm. Then what did
Grandma like to do?
Um...
Well, she liked to see you.
I mean, besides that.
I don't know what
she liked to do, sweetie.
Why not?
Well, Grandma didn't have
much time to do fun stuff.
At least not when I was young.
Hmm. Poor Grandma.
It smells like her house.
...my skin
is just too fair for that.
And, besides, Pat always says he
prefers me as a natural blonde,
so here I am.
Wow, what a journey.
Mm, it was.
Anyhow, your girls are gonna be
so gorgeous when they grow up.
They just have such
a beautiful exotic look.
Oh, thanks.
I always say to Pat
that we should almost have kids
just for how cute they'd be.
Yeah, you should.
It's-- it's just the best.
Well, I'm not actually
cut out for motherhood.
Besides, I'm too vain
to get stretch marks.
Well, if... if you do decide to,
I-- I'd think
you'd have no regrets.
Yeah, everybody says that,
but... I don't know.
You think you would?
Well, I'm sure
I would love them,
but just because I love my child
doesn't mean
I wouldn't regret some things.
I look at all of my friends,
and they just seem
so tired and miserable.
Ugh.
I'm sure not all parents
are like that.
I'm sure you don't
feel that way.
I just...
Well, I guess I just wonder,
would it actually
make me happier?
Huh.
Anyhow, I don't mean
to be such a bore.
Oh, no, not at all.
I don't wanna pry, but...
I lost my mom
when I was younger,
and I really know
how it can affect things,
especially like a relationship.
Oh. Well, thanks, Carol.
You don't have to talk about it
if you don't want to.
Oh, no, it's--
it's not that, I just...
You know, things are actually
really great between us.
I mean, we have
everything we need,
and we have
two great daughters, and...
You're unhappy.
Well, no, I...
I didn't say that, I just...
You know, my parents' marriage
wasn't about love.
It was about duty,
and responsibility, and...
You know, they had half
of what we have, and...
I don't know, sometimes
it just makes me think,
"What do I even have
to be unhappy about?"
You know?
Do you need a reason
to be unhappy?
Well, no, I...
No, I guess you don't.
You know, I have a theory...
every relationship can work,
if you do the work.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Justin, out.
Out right now.
But-- but, Mom,
I didn't do anything!
-Come on, out.
-But, Mom!
We're done.
Marco!
Polo!
Marco!
Polo!
Marco!
Polo!
Oh, you're not Jenny.
Sorry.
We have to restart!
I bumped into her instead!
No, this way.
Come on, just get off there.
Yeah, right.
Um, yeah!
He was, like,
staring at you yesterday.
Like...
aagh!
Aah! Gross!
Oh, my god, there he is.
Hey, Tyler, you're hot!
Whoa!
Why did you say that?
Oh, my god.
Did you just fart?
Whoa. How did you do that?
It looked like you did a flip.
I don't know.
I was just trying to do
what you were doing.
That was really good.
Thanks.
Okay, girls,
it's time to go!
Okay.
Mom, can I take this
back to the cabin?
No, sweetie,
you have to leave that
for everyone to play with.
But what if it's not here
when I come back?
It will be. Just put it back.
-There you go.
-Thanks.
Bye. I'll be back, I promise.
Make sure
to wipe your feet, girls.
Okay.
They look like a handful.
Oh, yeah. They keep me busy.
Yeah, I can imagine.
Such a beautiful evening.
Isn't it?
Oh. Hi, sweetie.
Hi.
G'day. How you doing?
Oh.
Okay, good night.
Good night.
I was a bit worried
coming here too, you know.
Really?
But you were the one
who wanted to try this.
I know, I know I was. I just...
I guess I didn't know
if it would help
as much as I wanted it to.
Well, do you still
feel like that, or...?
I'm starting to think that we
just need to put the work in,
and that everything
will work out if we do.
I am so glad
to hear you say that.
You know, Pat and Carol
weren't doing too well
when they first
came here either.
Well, you know,
we're not them.
We have a very different
relationship.
No, I know that.
I just mean that if they
can do it, then so can we.
Hmm.
I see stability.
I see...
Look deeper, Steve.
Look at what's really
inside yourself.
Okay.
I see determination.
Do you see anything
that makes you
feel uncomfortable?
No. I...
Sorry, I don't know
if I'm doing this right.
No, it's okay.
Why don't you just
rest your arm?
Now, again, the purpose
of this exercise
is to be vulnerable.
I mean, I'm...
I'm trying to be.
You know, you're not
the only one
to struggle with this one.
It's a tough exercise.
Has anyone else
had trouble with this?
Maybe someone would like
to share their experience?
Uh...
Yeah, this, uh-- this one
was really challenging for me.
It felt...
This was pretty, uh...
In-- in fact, can I...?
- Please.
Can I just... give this a go?
It might be easier
for me to explain--
-Yeah.
-So...
Uh...
What-- what I found really
helped me, at least, get this,
was firstly just to really--
just check in with myself.
You know?
So...
Where's your mom from?
Uh, I think Christina Lake?
No, I mean, like,
where is she from-from?
Oh, her background
is Japanese.
Oh.
You look pretty normal, though.
I mean, you look
like other people.
Except your eyes.
And...
maybe just your face overall
is a bit different.
Oh, my gosh, you're ridiculous.
It's interesting, huh?
It is.
There's three more like this
on the island.
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
They're all Japanese
herring salteries--
used to be.
And they all burned?
Yeah, around
the turn of the century.
Hmm.
Arson, apparently.
Hmm.
Your parents fish?
My dad did, yeah.
And-- and his, too.
Oh, wow.
Mm-hmm.
So, did they...
did they have
their boats seized?
You know so much
about all this.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a...
a bit of a history buff.
I think I've been programmed
not to think
about certain things.
What do you mean?
I don't know.
I mean, my parents were...
I think they were a bit
ashamed, or something.
Hmm.
So, I was...
I was wondering, right...
and you don't have to answer,
but did your parents--
did they ever
go back to the coast when they--
you know, when they
were allowed to?
No, they-- they stayed
in the interior.
Huh.
Cool.
You know, it's funny,
but I never swam in the ocean
until I was 21.
-What?
-Yeah.
Really?
Yeah. I mean, I always
wanted to as a kid,
but, you know, my parents
didn't have a lot of money
for trips and stuff,
so it just never happened.
Yeah, that makes sense.
I remember I never told any
of the other kids in my class.
It just seemed like
everyone else had been.
That's actually
a bit of a secret.
What, the... swimming?
Steve doesn't even know.
-Get out of here!
-Yeah.
-Why?
-I don't know.
I just think he would think
it's weird, or something.
I mean, he spent every summer
in a beach house, so...
Well, I don't think
it's weird.
In fact, it--
-Boo!
-Boo!
Hey. Hello. Ah, you got me! Ah!
Stop!
Forward! Onward! Aah!
Were you behind me
the whole time?
Here's your tea, Bone.
Emmy, you'll never believe this,
but there's a kitten
in Mom and Dad's closet!
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.
Go on.
Go.
It's-- it's really cute.
Meow!
Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
Meow, meow, meow,
meow, meow!
-Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!
-Don't! Don't!
Meow, meow, meow, meow!
Ew, gross! Ew!
Don't.
What?
Emmy, come out. I'm sorry.
Come on, Emmy.
It wasn't my idea, I swear.
Fine, don't forgive me, then.
See if I care.
Well, I guess you don't love me
if you can't forgive me.
Well, fine,
if you don't love me anymore,
I guess
I won't love you anymore.
Just let me ask her.
What did you do?
What-- what were you doing?
Well, we were playing tag--
And you broke the closet.
Do you realize that we're gonna
have to pay for this, Steph?
It won't be much, Jude.
Can you just
back me up here?
Fuck, what do you
want me to do? It's a closet.
I want you to back me up,
and please do not swear.
Um... it was my fault.
I accidentally
ran into the door.
Yeah,
she didn't mean to, but--
See, you can't
just keep doing this.
You can't just
keep blaming your sister
for everything
that goes wrong, Steph.
I'm not.
May I be excused?
No, finish your food.
Honestly, I think if we just
get these track things replaced,
it should be pretty easy.
I don't think
it'll be too expensive.
Hey, don't worry.
I'll... I'll fix it.
What is it?
I'm a bad mom.
No, you're not.
Yes, I am.
You're not.
You know, my mom
did everything for us.
Her whole life was for us.
Well, you know, that's...
that's what moms do.
But not me.
Yes, you do.
No, I really don't, Steve.
Of course you do.
And I don't even know
where my parents
were interned, you know.
I don't even speak
the language they spoke.
I don't know
any of my mom's recipes.
I...
I know nothing.
Well, maybe you can ask
one of your siblings.
You don't get it. It's...
It's not just
about knowing, it's...
I should have asked her, and...
she should have wanted
to tell me.
Well, why do you think
she didn't?
You know, things
are gonna be okay.
Okay?
Stephanie?
Yeah?
Do you think we would die
if there was
a big earthquake here?
Maybe.
Really?
Don't worry, there probably
won't be any.
But what if there is?
I'll make sure you'll be safe,
don't worry.
What if the cabin
caught on fire?
How would the cabin
catch on fire?
I don't know,
but what if it did
and the fire blocked our door?
Well, we'd climb out the window.
What about Mom and Dad?
They'd climb out the window
and meet us outside.
Steph?
Yeah?
Do you really think
Grandma's a ghost now?
Even a nice one?
No.
But what about in the cave?
It's not true. They were just
trying to scare you.
Hmm.
Em?
Yeah?
You want to sleep
in my bed tonight?
Okay.
Ready?
Hug, hug.
Kiss, kiss.
Mm-mm.
You're it!
Hey, that's, uh... that's not
the new Jaguar XJS, is it?
Uh, yeah. It is, actually.
V12, right?
Uh...
You know what?
Maybe, I don't even know.
I'm not really that much
of a car guy.
Not a bad car
for a non-car guy.
I guess.
Hey, uh...
how was yesterday for you?
Yeah, good.
Any...
I don't know, any, uh,
thoughts, feelings, emotions
come up since then?
Uh... nope.
Well, if anything comes up,
happy to chat, any time.
Happy to chat any time.
Appreciate it.
Hey, uh,
the great Buddha once said,
"Greater in battle than the man
who would conquer
a thousand-thousand men
is he who would conquer
just one...
himself."
Cool, right?
Hmm.
Yeah, it's, uh...
it's interesting.
Aren't you going to the pool?
I'm grounded, remember?
Right. Right.
Hey, Steph?
Want to go to town?
Really?
Sure.
Come on.
Good, good times
All summer long
All summer long
Good, good times
Warm sunshine
I got it.
You should be a singer.
Good, good times
-Really?
All summer long
-I reckon.
Ba-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba-ba
Excuse me.
I bet you can't do a handstand.
Oh yeah?
How'd you like that?
That was very good.
Steve?
And fixed.
Did you take that
from the pool?
Yeah.
Oh. How come?
I don't know.
Hmm.
I just don't understand
why you have to die.
Yeah, but we already
made the dance.
We can't just
restart the whole thing
just because
you want to change it.
Okay.
Okay, ready!
Goodbye to you
my trusted friend
We've know each other
since we were nine or ten
Together we've climbed
hills and trees
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts
and skinned our knees
Goodbye, my friend
it's hard to die
When all the birds
are singing in the sky
Now that
the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me
and I'll be there
We had joy, we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time
Goodbye, Papa
please pray for me
Whaa!
I was the black sheep
of the family
You tried to teach me
right from wrong
Too much wine
and too much song
Wonder how I got along
Goodbye, Papa
it's hard to die
-Yay. Bravo!
-Whoo!
Whoo! You okay?
Okay.
So good.
-You okay?
-You okay?
It was good.
It's okay. Hmm? It's okay.
I'm cold.
Can you warm me up a bit?
Yeah. Of course.
Yeah, that's better.
You remember when we used
to fall asleep like this
every night?
Yeah.
It was nice.
Well, you always complained
that my leg hairs tickled you.
Yeah, well,
nothing's changed there.
Touch me.
Lower.
Mm...
Just a...
just a little bit lower.
-How's that? Yeah?
-Yeah.
How's that for you?
Yeah, good. Good, yeah. You?
Yeah, just a... just
a little bit to your left.
Yeah, that's better.
Maybe just a little bit slower.
Yeah, that's... that's better.
I'm sorry.
I don't know, I just feel like
maybe it's not the right time.
I'm sorry, I just think
I'm not in the right mindset
or something.
No, I get it. Me too.
Are you still cold?
No. No, I... I think I'm okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Aah!
I...
I will not reject your love!
Aah!
Aah! Aah!
I will not! I will not!
I will not!
Great, Pat.
That was great.
Well done.
Ah.
Okay.
Ah!
That's great, Steve.
It's a start.
-Ah.
-That's good.
Ah.
What else is there?
Ah! Ahh!
Okay, ahh, ahh.
Now give me some words.
I hate... aah! Aah! Aah!
Ahh! Words!
What do you hate?
That's stupid! Aah!
What's stupid?
Come on, Steve.
Words. Words. Give me words!
I don't have
any fucking words! Okay?
Steve!
Okay. It's okay.
Whoa... Jackie Chan here!
Okay. No, no, no.
You-- wait, wait, wait.
-That's it.
You touched the rope.
-What?
-You touched the rope.
No, I didn't.
No, it's a re-match.
Your arm definitely
grazed the rope.
All right, give me that.
Let's go.
You ready?
Whoa! You all right?
Steve. Steve... you all right?
You got me. You win.
Well, actually, you...
that was yours.
Hey, where
are her water wings?
It's okay,
I-- I was watching her.
Go get dressed, sweetie.
But she's fine, Mom.
Oh, thanks.
One more.
Here.
Chinese, Japanese,
dirty knees, look at there!
Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees,
look at these!
I'm Japanese.
Hey. Hey, Don't do that, okay?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I just... I...
Go get dressed, sweetie, okay?
Come on, you got this.
But I don't know how, though.
It's easy,
just dance sexy near him.
You'll be fine.
Hey, come on! Is this
thing happening or what?
Oh, don't you worry,
it's happening.
Look, you chose "dare,"
so if you back out now,
you'll look like a loser.
You just gotta tough it out.
You got this.
Okay, boys...
get ready for Miss Sexy Steph,
the amazing lap dancer.
Whoo, whoo, whoo,
whoo, whoo!
Come on, hot stuff!
Come on, baby!
There's no way.
Let's go, Steph!
Yeah, Steph! Whoo!
Come on, Steph! Whoo-hoo!
Come on, let's see
something real!
Let's see some action! Let's go!
Oh, yeah!
Yes! Go, Steph!
Yeah. There you go!
Whoo-hoo!
Whoo! Come on, move your feet!
Yeah, Steph. Let's go!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Steph! Steph! Steph! Steph!
Oh, my god,
you farted in the hot tub?
Shit, I've gone in there,
like, five times since then!
Whoa-ho-ho!
What the fuck, Sam?
What? It's not a big deal.
It's embarrassing.
Don't worry, it's fine.
They honestly
just thought it was funny.
Yeah, but still.
Steve?
Mm?
I'm scared.
Why?
I had a bad dream.
It's okay.
But why not?
Because we need you
to babysit.
Well, why can't she
just stay at our--
No, because I don't
want you two goofing off
and ignoring her.
-But I--
No, Steph, it's not
happening. Okay?
Emmy, not that one.
Why not?
It's too big.
Just get the small ones, okay?
Maybe Steph can carry it.
No, I don't want to.
Just say bye to it, okay?
Bye.
See you at 7:30!
See ya!
What?
Nothing.
Well, what? Tell me.
Oh, just thinking.
It must be true what they say
about Asian men.
What?
Well, nothing,
it's just clearly he's
overcompensating for something.
Oh, don't be stupid.
Well, have you ever
been with one?
No.
But, you know, I saw my dad's
all growing up,
and they're
all perfectly normal.
How did you see your dad's...
you know?
-Penis?
-Yeah.
Well, you know,
just baths and stuff.
You bathed with your dad?
No, not bathed,
but, you know, we'd all wash up
outside of the tub,
and then we would hop in
to rinse off.
You all used
the same bath water?
Yeah, so what?
Okay.
Well, we were all clean.
We would... we'd clean off
before we'd get in.
What?
Nothing.
Well, obviously
you're angry now.
No, I'm not mad.
Sure, you're not mad, then.
I'm not mad exactly, I...
I just...
I find it...
I don't know...
I find it a bit racist,
what you just said.
Racist? How is that--
Shh!
How it that racist?
I don't know, okay?
It just felt...
it's... it's emasculating.
Oh, you don't think that Pat
tries to emasculate me
all the time?
I don't know. I don't know how
to explain everything perfectly,
it just-- it feels racist.
Well, I'm married to you,
so why would I be a racist?
I don't know.
I didn't think so.
Starting early, huh?
Well, yeah, I gotta
listen to Pat
talk about himself all night.
-Let's just cancel, then.
-No, no, no, no.
No, because I don't wanna go
if you're gonna be sulking
the whole time.
I'm not--
Steve!
Oh...
Oh, my...
Right, so then I'm, like...
I'm, like, "No, I need
to leave immediately,"
which she doesn't understand,
because "immediately"
kinda sounds like "diarrhea."
Right? So now... I was just...
Oh, my god, it was just...
It was horrible.
Oh, my god, you two just have
the best travel stories.
Yeah, they kinda pile up.
-Yeah.
-They kinda pile up, don't they?
So I, uh--
I looked up the Incas.
What's that?
Yeah, you know,
the, uh-- the Incas?
The people
who populated Machu Picchu?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.
What... what about them?
Yeah, it wasn't the Aztecs.
Just so you know.
Okay. Yeah, good to know.
A... B... C...
D... E... F...
Okay.
All right, up next,
we've got Judith singing
"I Give to You."
Everything I'll ever have
Even things I'll never have
I give to you
All the love I've ever known
And the only heart I own
I give to you
Life is but a game of chance
Why gamble
if there's no romance
Within your heart
Though there's a time
we all must cry
Spread your lover's wings
and fly
Just make a start
And you'll never depart
From the road
that leads to happiness
A world that's only glorious
I give to you
Open up your heart to me
I promise
that I will completely
Live for you
Time is short
and love is rare
Take the joy
that's ours to share
You're the only one I adore
Everything I have is yours
This I give
To you
-Is there anything cool?
-Um, besides...
Where are you going?
Don't worry, I'll be back
before Mom gets here.
But you're supposed
to be babysitting me.
But you're not
a baby, are you?
Wait, let me go with you.
No, Emmy.
Please!
I said no!
So, anyway,
then I asked him...
Hello?
Come on, this way.
Shh.
So, I didn't-- I didn't wanna
upset the poor woman, right,
so I just--
I just shut my mouth.
Can you imagine him
standing there for an hour?
Yeah. It was too much,
honestly. Too much.
Hey, buddy. You're, uh...
you're--
you're holding it wrong.
Further back. Yeah.
Yeah? Thank you.
Look who's an expert now.
You know, I taught Steve
everything he knows about pool.
You can't teach that, Judith.
You know,
Steve loves to show off.
And Judith loves to be
a bit of a bitch sometimes.
You see what a charmer
this guy is?
Hey, guys.
We don't have to, you know--
Oh, no, no, no, it's fine.
I think this is healthy.
We should talk it out,
Steve... finally.
No thanks.
Of course. Steve doesn't like
to talk about his feelings.
He doesn't think it's manly.
You know, it's
interesting you say that.
I mean, like,
men especially experience--
You-- you know what, Pat?
I-- I'm sorry, I'm just gonna
stop you right there, pal. Okay?
I'm sorry.
I-- I didn't mean to--
What? You didn't mean to what?
Offend you.
I didn't mean to offend you.
Well, you-- you did. Okay?
Everything you do offends me.
Your presence offends me.
Your stupid fucking face
offends me, to be honest.
Judith, what...
what are you--
Whoo!
Judith.
Judith, let's go.
Hey.
Come on, let's...
Every morning, I'm feeling
Afternoon, it's passion
Judith! Judith!
Oh yeah!
I'm not so sure
what's happening
Come on, please.
Judith, come on!
Okay, come on. That's it.
Oh.
Let's go.
Oh, no, thank you.
John over here
has offered me a ride back.
Well, I don't--
I don't have to.
No, sure you do.
Let's go.
Maybe we should just go back.
Don't worry, she'll be fine
for, like, ten minutes.
Can you keep it straight?
I can't see.
Why do you hate Vicky so much?
I don't hate her.
I just think she's annoying.
Well, you're pretty mean
to her, though.
I'm not mean to her.
Well, whatever.
I mean, who cares?
If you want to go
and hang out with Vicky,
then go for it.
No, I don't, really.
Well, then, why are you
talking about this?
I said keep it straight!
What the fuck?
You weirdo. Fuck you!
Fuck you too!
Hey! Hey!
Come on!
Get out of the car, Judith.
Hey, get the fuck
away from my wife!
Huh?
Steve...
No.
Come on, Judith,
let's go inside.
I am.
Go this way. Come on.
- Here.
- Don't.
Don't.
Don't.
- Steve.
- Come on.
Tea?
No thanks.
You'll feel better.
I can't.
Don't you have
anything you wanna say?
Oof. Steve, not now.
Well, I don't want
to waste our time here,
so come to the workshop
if you feel better.
Such good work. That's great.
Okay.
Steve, would you like
to go next?
Oh. Uh...
well, maybe since Judith
isn't here, I should pass.
Are you sure?
You can go on your own,
if you want to.
Yeah, okay. Sure.
Okay.
Now...
I want you to take a moment,
and I want you
to picture Judith's face...
her hands...
what it means to have her
in your life.
And now I want you to think
about what it would be like
if she were gone.
I, uh...
I-- I can't see her right now.
That's it, Steve.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yes.
Good afternoon,
thanks for joining us.
We begin with breaking news.
It was a hectic scene
here last night...
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
change my diaper!
...as riots broke out
all over the city
following game seven
of the Stanley Cup finals.
As city officials dealt with
the aftermath of the riots...
Waah, waah,
you missed a big piece of poo!
...how could it happen
here in Vancouver?
The images and videos
from last night's
violence and looting
are more what you would expect
to see in a big American city.
Waah, waah.
Pictures from last night's
riots
are being circulated
around the world...
Waah, waah. Mommy. Mommy.
...damaging the reputation...
Boo-hoo-hoo.
...and orderly Canadian city,
while in New York...
Hey, can you turn that down,
please?
Waah, waah, waah.
Huh?
...in Vancouver, it was
unbelievably different...
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!
I think I have
a big piece of poo in it.
You're a bad mommy!
Mommy, Mommy, Mommy,
I'm hungry.
Give me some food.
Okay, baby,
I'll make you a nice--
No, give me your milky.
-Oh, you want--
-Milky! Milky! Milky!
-Okay, okay. Here.
-Give me your milky!
-Ah, don't.
-Milky! Milky! Milky!
-No! Don't!
-Milky! Give me your milk!
-No! No!
-Give me your milk!
Don't!
Aah!
-Mom! Stephanie--
-Enough!
Can you two just please shut up
for one goddamn second!
-But--
-No, I don't care.
I don't care, I don't care,
I don't care, I don't care!
I cannot fucking take you
anymore!
...is on life support.
Sadly, he is not
expected to survive.
Most of today's newscast
is devoted to what happened
and what exactly went wrong,
and a warning, it contains
some strong language
and scenes of violence.
Stu McDonald
was one of the reporters
covering the riot
from last night,
and he's returning today
to his vantage point
at Robson and Thurlow
to fill us in some more
on what happened.
Wait, I didn't...
Wait, I didn't mean to--
Stop it! Don't!
Stop!
Grandma?
Okay,
you check the pool,
and I'll go
to Sam's cabin, okay?
Sure, yeah.
Steph!
Emmy!
- God.
- What? What?
Nothing! This is pointless.
They're probably
just gonna come back
when they aren't angry anymore.
Okay, well,
until they do,
we're gonna
keep looking for them.
What, you just wanna
leave them out here, Steve?
No! I mean...
They're gone because they're
angry, not lost, Judith.
Okay, so it's all my fault
now, is it? Sure.
Well, whose fault
do you think it is?
Oh, whatever! You know,
none of this
actually would have happened
if you'd been
looking after them for once
instead of being
glued to the TV!
I wasn't even watching it.
I was... I was fucking thinking.
Oh, right, right.
Thinking conveniently
in front of the TV.
Well, what? So watching TV
is some sort of crime now?
It's not like your dad
didn't watch TV.
What does my dad
have to do with this, huh?
Nothing, I'm just saying
that that's what dads do.
What-- what does that--
what does this have to do
with anything, Steve?
TV! Judith! TV!
Did your dad not watch TV?
Yes, he watched TV! So what?
So dads watch TV sometimes!
It's not the end
of the fucking world!
You know what? My dad, he worked
12-hour shifts, you know that?
So?
So he was tired after
he worked 12-hour shifts!
I'm not the one who told him
to have so many kids.
Are you serious?
Did you seriously
just say that?
I'm just saying,
if your family was so poor,
why have so many children?
Oh, wouldn't it be nice if
they weren't so poor, then, huh?
I'm not the one
who made them poor!
Yeah, well, it wasn't
them either!
Steph! Emmy!
-Steph!
-Where's Emmy?
She's not with you?
Steph! Steph!
Stephanie, wait!
Steph?
Steph!
Steph?
Stephanie!
Steph!
Emmy?
Emmy?
Emmy?
Steph!
Emmy!
Shh. Shh.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm here now.
I'm here, don't worry.
- Steph! Steph!
- Steph!
It's okay.
Emmy! Stay where you are!
Come on.
Come on.
We should go home tomorrow.
I don't wanna be here anymore.
Me neither.
Okay.
Judith?
I don't know
if I've ever loved you.
But somehow, I...
I convinced myself
that I didn't need to.
