1 [FAINT INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[PERSON WHISTLING.]
Hi.
Is there anything I can help you with? Yeah, um, my Internet thing is flashing red, and it's never done that before, so I think I need a new thing? Okay.
Well, it will be my pleasure to help you with that.
It's definitely a router issue? - I don't know.
- Because it could be your ISP.
Has there been an outage in your area? Oh, I don't I don't know.
Okay, uh, do you know what speed you're looking for? Do you use a lot of data? Well, I want to FaceTime with my nieces, and one of them moves really fast, and the other one's a baby, so, um maybe, like, a medium data? Okay, uh, one thing you might be interested in doing is setting up what's called a mesh network.
It's a way to maximize the area of your coverage.
Mm-hmm.
Ma'am, are you okay? Yes, I'm I'm sorry.
It's just, um, my husband used to handle all the [SNIFFLES.]
uh, technical stuff in our house, and, um he's gone, so now it's my job.
Go ahead, Karly.
Mesh networks.
A, uh, mesh network uses a primary router - Mm-hmm.
- connected to your broadband.
[INHALES SHAKILY.]
Uh, this one has an app for your phone - that lets you - [SOBS.]
Hey.
So I know divorce can be really hard, but you'll get through it.
My mom had it rough for a while, but then she met Luke, and now they do escape rooms.
It wasn't a divorce.
He died.
Probably because of me.
[SNIFFLES.]
[JUNE.]
It's been over a year, and I still go through what-ifs.
Like, what if I'd never let him go on that last ski run alone? What if I'd never forced him to go on the ski trip at all? Or what if I'd never agreed to date him in the first place, 'cause if I'd said no, then he'd still be alive, right, Karly? Look, you can't torture yourself.
Sometimes a terrible thing happens and all we can do is just live through it.
I'm sorry.
I know.
It's just so hard, you know? It's like, I'm fine for a few days, and then and then something like this.
[SNIFFLES.]
My shift is actually over in a few minutes, but if you want, I can get my assistant manager Brent over here to grieve with you.
Okay.
Great.
Brent, you're needed in audio/video for Actually, I'm gonna come explain it to you.
[WOMAN.]
Everybody, move your body Now, do it Here is something That's gonna make you move and groove - Hey, DJ - [DOG BARKING.]
[KNOCKING.]
I know you're in there! June? [SIGHS.]
Let me see.
Hey.
What's up, girl? Holy shit.
What what is all this? What what is this? They're individually packaged wine cups.
So the bottle doesn't go bad.
And if you buy 12, you get three for free, so I'm basically making money.
It's early.
What are you doing here? I came to check on you, make sure you're okay.
And obviously you are not.
Well, I can't get on the Internet.
I wanted to drunk-buy some stuff last night, and I couldn't.
Aww.
What were you trying to buy? - I don't remember.
- Hmm.
I know it was something Japanese.
Okay.
All right, we need to get you out of here.
Listen, I want you to go to church with me this morning.
What? No.
No, thanks.
Oh, you think you're too good for church? Yes.
I just think it would be good for you to be around some nice people.
Thanks, but really, I'm okay.
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
- Come on.
- No.
I know it's around the time of year that it happened, but I'm not leaving you alone.
And if you go to church with me, I'll get you something to eat at the mall.
Can I go to Panda Express and get a pretzel? No, you cannot.
'Cause we're going to the Cheesecake Factory.
[GASPS.]
What? Okay, I'll come.
Mm, okay.
All right, pretty girl.
- Go get dressed - Mm-hmm.
Do I have to take a shower? Mm-hmm, all that.
- [GROANS.]
- Oof, and gargle.
- This could take a while.
- That's my girl.
[ORGAN MUSIC PLAYING.]
[SHARON.]
This is gonna be good.
Let's see.
Oh, oh, oh.
Let's sit there.
- [JUNE.]
Here? - [SHARON.]
Mm-hmm.
[JUNE.]
Thank you.
Peace be with you.
- Peace be with you.
- Ooh.
Peace be with you.
- Hi.
Peace be with you.
- Oh, thank you.
- What are you doing? - Huh? We don't say that here.
Just sit down.
- Hi.
- Hi.
- Peace be with you.
- Same to you.
As we all know, the world can be a difficult place.
It can be frustrating.
Sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to.
You Clippers fans know what I'm talking about, huh? [LAUGHTER.]
[PASTOR.]
It's easy to feel lost.
But the Lord will always be there for you.
And your faith can be your guide.
As it says in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you.
" For you.
To prosper you and not to harm you.
To give you hope and a future.
Let us pray.
[ALL.]
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread Bread trespasses.
[ALL.]
as we forgive who have trespassed against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
- [MUMBLING.]
- But deliver us from evil.
[PASTOR.]
For thine is the kingdom, - the power, and the glory forever and ever.
- Amen.
Every time I Feel the Spirit Moving in my heart I will pray Every time I Feel the Spirit Moving in my heart I will pray [CHOIR VOCALIZING.]
[MAN.]
Upon the mountain When my Lord spoke Out of his mouth came fire and smoke I looked around me It looked so fine I asked my Lord if all was mine [CHOIR.]
Every time I Feel the Spirit Moving in my heart - Hi.
Hey, June.
- Hey.
- This is Rev Troy.
- Hey.
He is the coolest pastor here.
Aw, Sharon, I don't know about that.
Please, he took the youth group to see the Harlem Globetrotters.
Oh, wow, how was it? I don't know.
I'm more of a fundamentals guy.
I did not love when they pulled the trampoline out.
How is that not a technical? Yeah.
Yeah, I'm starting to think that the refs in those games are on the take.
I mean, they just keep calling everything against the Generals.
- Right? - Yeah.
Um, so I hope this is okay, but I told Rev Troy about what happened last year.
Oh, you did.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
[STAMMERS.]
Thank you, it's it's a process.
[TROY.]
Yeah.
Well, my only advice is, don't be too hard on yourself.
Any feeling you're having is valid.
Well, that's good to hear, 'cause I've been having some real weird ones.
[LAUGHS.]
Okay.
Sharon, you weren't wrong.
She's great.
We're always happy to have a new face here at Holy Mount.
You are welcome anytime.
Mm.
Peace be with you.
I felt like that was appropriate for the scenario.
No? Just stay good-bye.
Stick with the classics, hmm? - Will you excuse me one moment? - Absolutely.
- Hey.
- Oh.
I wanted to tell you one more thing.
I lead a grief counseling group.
We meet here on Thursday evenings.
Uh, I don't I don't know if that's for me.
Understood.
I'm not gonna give you the hard sell, but if you change your mind, sometimes it's good to talk to other people.
Our doors are always open.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
It's really good to meet you, June.
Yeah, it was good meeting you too.
I hope I see you again.
Oh.
Sweet.
Oh! I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- What are you doing? Why are you kissing on Pastor Troy? I'm so sorry, Father.
We don't call him that! [JUNE WHISPERING.]
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, okay? I I don't know what happened.
It was a mistake.
Our eyes met, and he he kind of licked his lips a little bit.
I don't need a recap.
I saw what you did.
- What is wrong with you? - Nothing.
And by the way, you put me in this position.
I didn't want to come here.
It's not my fault.
I was trying to help you.
This morning, I found you on your couch, sucking down your sippy cups of wine.
They are individual single pours because it's more efficient than opening a bottle.
Oxygen is poison for wine.
You don't know shit about wine.
That stuff is made in Michigan.
You know what the problem with church people is? They think they can judge everybody else just 'cause they walk into a building once a week and eat a cracker.
We don't do that here! See you don't know anything.
None of this is real.
This is just a thing that people made up just to feel better about themselves.
There's there's no God.
There's no plan.
This is all bullshit.
[ENGINE TURNING OVER.]
Where are you going? You got a phone.
Download Lyft.
[JEN.]
I told him, we have to change the battery.
He never did it.
Next thing I know, it's 3:00 in the morning.
It starts chirping, and somehow it's my fault? [LISA.]
Ugh, they never listen.
You know, sometimes I think they need obedience school for husbands.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah.
[GENTLY.]
Oh, hey.
- What's going on? - Oh, nothing.
- We're just talking about stupid stuff.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Do you need a coffee? - Oh, um - You know what? I'll just get you one, sweetie.
Yeah.
Mm.
[KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING.]
[BREATHES DEEPLY.]
[SIGHS.]
[MAN.]
Now, on the back, it looks a little daunting at first, but trust me, it's really simple.
This is usually for your power, right next to the power button to turn it on.
[JILLIAN.]
Here's the idea.
I don't want to see horizontal.
I want vertical.
- I want you to - Fuck you, Jillian.
[LAUGHING.]
Uh [SIGHS.]
Trish, I got to go.
Someone I'm mad at is here.
I'm sorry.
You should be.
I got you a gift to apologize.
It's a nice top that I got at a gas station on the way here.
Come on, try it on.
So now that I spent $15 on these beauties, you have to forgive me.
Okay.
- Forgiven.
- Thank you.
- I can't stay mad at you.
- [BOTH LAUGH.]
Oh plus, having a messed-up friend makes me feel better about myself.
That's my girl.
You know, I really thought that I'd be doing a lot better by now, but [SIGHS.]
Oscar and I were just together for so long.
- Mm-hmm.
- I just I don't really know how to live my life without him.
Why don't you go find a new life? - Yeah, maybe I should.
- I'm not joking.
I mean, come on, what what's tying you here? Huh? Your job at the shady time-share place? Or your weird-ass house? - Hey.
I love my house.
- It's weird.
You go through a bathroom to get to another bathroom.
We got a deal.
Listen, maybe it'll help to do something different, you know? Say "fuck it" to everything.
You know, take a pottery class.
Move to France.
I don't know.
Come on, I'm not gonna do that.
All right, I'm gonna have to get real with you.
It's not like things were always perfect with Oscar.
Hey.
Come on, you know I'm telling the truth.
Before Oscar died, you and I would talk a lot about how you felt you wanted more out of life.
Come on, you were a little bored.
Mm I shouldn't have said that.
I mean, of course everybody has their stupid little problems.
Every marriage has that.
He was the best.
I'm sorry.
But if you keep doing what you're doing, two lives will be over.
Come on, girl, you got to get out there.
You've got to tell the universe what you want so it will know what to give back to you.
That's very beautiful.
You're you're right.
I It's just, you know I don't go for that church stuff, right? Oh, that's not from church.
That's from Britney Spears' Instagram.
[LAUGHS.]
How is Britney doing these days? Either really good or really terrible.
I can't tell.
Hmm.
- Hi.
- Hi.
[CHUCKLES.]
You here for the interview too? Yeah.
I I'm so sorry.
I don't mean to be nosy.
Were were we supposed to bring something? Oh, no, I just put this together myself.
It's a deck with all the potential properties.
Ah.
Valuation, risk assessment, you know, that kind of boring stuff.
Right so boring.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Nice photos.
- Thanks.
I have to make these all the time.
I work upstairs.
Oh.
Yeah.
I cover the Florida properties, which is nice, but this job would be so much better.
- Mm-hmm.
- Hawaii? The Caribbean? - Sign me up.
- Yeah.
I know, yeah.
All that travel does sound great, doesn't it? My husband and I just got back from Tahiti.
If you ever go, make sure you stay in an overwater bungalow.
It is magical.
I'll make sure to look into that.
- [WOMAN.]
June? - Yes.
- We're ready for you.
- Um may I use the restroom real quick? [WOMAN.]
Oh, yeah, of course.
Thanks.
Okay.
I've never done this sort of thing before, but I'm just gonna put this out into the universe.
Please let this go well.
I need something good to happen.
That's it.
Thank you.
Okay.
[EXHALES SHARPLY.]
- [KNOCK AT DOOR.]
- Come in.
Hey.
June Hoffman isn't here anymore.
She said she had to go to the bathroom, but that was, like, 20 minutes ago.
I think she might've left.
Oh.
Okay.
Well, just send in the next person, I guess.
Okay.
[SHARON.]
Hey, it's me.
Checking in on how it went today.
I'm sure you killed it.
And hey, if you don't get the job, who cares? You put yourself out there, and that's important.
I'm proud of you.
Now, you call me back.
I got a fucked-up story about that Ruth's Chris guy.
[SOFT MUSIC.]
- What's going on? - [JEN.]
I don't know.
Security came and took Jeff away.
This is beyond.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
- June Hoffman? - Yes.
Come with me, please.
Um, okay, sure.
Um, may I ask what's going on? Well, it turns out that a lot of our top executives were embezzling money from the company.
Oh, my God.
And a lot of the people under them were in on it.
Basically, we have to completely clean house.
It's a total shit show.
Wow.
I mean, I didn't know anything about any of this.
We know.
We've read all your emails.
You have? Um, the dancing tampon thing was a joke.
Were you supposed to have an interview with Ken Lerner yesterday? Yeah.
I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling well.
It doesn't matter.
Ken's gone.
The woman he was going to hire is gone also.
Are you still interested in this job? Uh, yeah, I mean it sounds really great.
Um I just I don't know if I'm the most qualified.
Look, we need someone in Honolulu on Tuesday, and since you haven't stolen anything, at this point, you're among the most qualified people in the whole fuckin' building.
Oh.
Um, okay.
Uh can I think about it? I'm sorry, I don't really have a ton of time.
I've got to fill 20 more positions today.
Do you want this job or not? [EXHALES SOFTLY.]
- Well, damn! - [LAUGHS.]
Oh, you look like a badass.
I do, right? I look good.
You look real good.
Like everything is in place.
Yeah, I know.
Everything is working.
Everything except for the nails.
I went to that cheap place down on Arlington.
I think those ladies are being held prisoner there.
Yeah.
Well, we'll go tomorrow, my treat.
We'll blow it out, get your nails done by a white lady.
- Aw, you'd do that for me? - It's a special occasion.
Is there anything else I can help you ladies with today? Um, no, but I think - I'd like to buy this.
- Great.
Um, I got an email saying you were having a three-day sale.
Is that still going on? No, it's not.
It ended yesterday.
Really? Um, maybe you can help us out.
See, my friend here, her husband died a year ago, and she wants this outfit so she can move on and shit.
That's not really necessary.
Let me talk to my manager and see if we can work something out.
Thank you.
Not necessary at all.
Bless you.
- Dummy.
- You need this.
[SIGHS.]
You know, you're right.
I just hope this all works out.
Bitch, someone is paying you to go to Hawaii.
It's already worked out.
You're gonna crush that shit.
Come here.
[AIRPLANE ENGINE DRONING.]
[WOMAN.]
We're now beginning the boarding process for flight 1814 with service to Honolulu.
We'd like to invite all first-class passengers to board at this time.
- [BABY CRYING.]
- [CHAIR SQUEAKING.]
[CRYING CONTINUES.]
[WOMAN.]
Give a little time for the child within you Don't be afraid to be young and free Undo the locks and throw away the keys And take off your shoes and socks and run you [GENTLE VOCALIZATION.]
Give a little time for the child within you Don't be afraid to be young and free Undo the locks and throw away the keys And take off your shoes and socks and run you Run through the meadow and scare up the milking cows Run down the beach kicking clouds of sand Walk a windy weather day, feel your face blow away Stop and listen, love you - Hi, ma'am.
- Oh, I have a ticket.
I'm supposed to be here.
Oh, of course you are.
I actually just wanted to offer you a guava mimosa and some macadamia nuts.
[EXHALES.]
That would be great.
Thank you.
Holy shit.
Oh.
Oh, oh! Uh, ma'am? - Are you all right? - [WHEEZING.]
Okay.
Oh, uh, yes.
Arms up, arms up.
- Oh, my God.
- [MUFFLED.]
Arms up.
Breathe.
Can you hear me? [NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
[GASPS.]
[BIRDS CHIRPING.]
Hi.
Oscar? What's going on? Where am I? You're dead.
I'm dead too.
This is so great.
I am so happy.
Am I not going to Hawaii? [SOFT MUSIC.]
[DREAMY VOCALIZATION.]
