CAITLIN:
Hmm.
FRASER:
What's in it?
CAITLIN: What do you mean "what's in it"?
It's cookies.
FRASER:
I don't eat shellfish.
CAITLIN:
It it's cookies.
FRASER:
Read the list of ingredients.
Come on, it's cookies.
It's got milk, sugar, butter.
It's cookies.
Why are you so complicated?
Please, read it.
Powdered milk, flour, chopped hazelnuts,
walnuts, butter, lard
May contain shellfish.
You should really stop shopping
at that shitty PX.
What are you reading?
What are you reading?
"In the body, where everything has a price,
I was a beggar."
A beggar?
"I watched, through the keyhole,
not the man showering,
but the rain falling through him."
Who's that?
Poet.
I don't get poetry.
First time I saw you,
you were reading a poem.
Me? Never.
"So the body of me to all I meet or know"
Spying on me?
- "To all I meet or know."
- Stop! You're embarrassing me.
Why do you read poetry?
Same reason I hate your clothing.
It's fast fashion.
You buy something you think you like
and in two months, it goes in the garbage.
I want stuff that means something.
- Oh, my God.
- The same goes for poetry.
Every word means something.
Never kissed anyone before. Have you?
Not even Mark?
- It wasn't like that.
- It wasn't like what?
Fast feelings.
CAITLIN SIGHS
Are my boobs getting bigger?
Come on, jump in.
- FRASER: No, there's too many fish.
- CAITLIN LAUGHS
- CAITLIN: Grab the line.
- FRASER: The what?
- CAITLIN: The line. The rope.
- FRASER: Why not just say rope?
CAITLIN:
'Cause it's not a rope
it's a line.
FRASER YAWNS:
But it's a rope.
CAITLIN: You're the one who's careful
about saying the right thing.
FRASER: Same object, different use,
different name.
- It's kind of interesting, isn't it?
- CAITLIN: Just grab it.
FRASER:
Here's your fucking rope.
CAITLIN:
Come on.
- Ah, look at that spider.
- FRASER: Fuck spiders.
We should've cleaned up before we left.
You know, you're really messy.
- CAITLIN: No, I'm not. You're a neat freak.
- FRASER: I'm not a neat freak.
I take good care of my stuff,
of the stuff that I love.
- Which is something that you should do.
- CAITLIN: What kind of stuff?
FRASER:
I don't know, like your personal stuff.
CAITLIN: When you have to pack up
and leave every three years
you stop caring about shit.
FRASER:
Keeping my shit in good order calms me.
CAITLIN: 'Cause you're a neat freak.
I read this thing about serial killers
FRASER: Wow, I read this thing about hoarders
who died asphyxiated by their own junk.
FRASER GASPS:
Oh, my God! Stop!
Oh my Stop! Stop!
- Are you kidding?

Good afternoon, sir.
Wait for me.

Cate! You gotta shower
after swimming in the lagoon!

- Take whatever you want from the fridge.
MAGGIE:

BRITNEY SIGHS:

Is it about Cate?

RICHARD: This ain't fucking Disneyland!
If you jump like that from a plane
you'll splatter your legs!
- SAM: I just really cared about her!
- BRITNEY: Hey, it's not your fault.
I have nothing.
You have me.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
FRASER:
Excuse me, ma'am! Ma'am!
Where shall I put this?
It's Ocean Vuong.
- LIBRARIAN: Please, you can leave it with me.
- Are you returning this?
Hey.
I've been waiting for it the whole week.
How is it?
Don't tell me.
- FRASER: He's writing his first novel now.
- Yeah. On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous.
You know what it's about?
It's about a little boy,
his name is Little Dog
and he's writing his letter to his mother,
but his mother, she's illiterate,
so she cannot understand his letter.
Anyway, I knew it was you. Bye, Fraser.
Bye, Ma Major.
JONATHAN:
Jonathan!
Jonathan.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
BRITNEY:
Cate!
Hey.
Wanna get something to eat?
- Yeah, something to drink maybe.
- OK.
He's like really suffering.
- He's the one who broke up with me.
- And what did you say to him?
- OK.
- OK?
You told him "OK"?
You want a veggie bowl?
Ever really been in love with anyone?
Do you know what it feels like?
Looks perfect on you.
Thanks. Remember when we did that tattoo
with the whiteboard marker
and it wouldn't come off?
SHE CHUCKLES
I just told him we were getting together.
We're going to Gianni's tonight. Wanna come?
- You're still seeing T-shirt?
- Yeah.
- What's happening to us?
- What do you mean?
You, me, the group.
You're never around anymore.
CAITLIN:
Come here.
It's just tonight, babe, OK?
Are you guys like a thing now?
CAITLIN:
Why do you follow this?
FRASER: 'Cause I live in the present
and I support the universal freedom.
CAITLIN:
Is it the hormones that do that?
- Wow.
- FRASER: Hormones plus genetics.
MUSIC: "Time Will Tell" by Blood Orange

CAITLIN: So transgender is:
you change your name,
your face, your body, everything.
- You go from female to male.
- FRASER: No. We were told for ages
that we were either males or females.
OK? And that was that.
Males would do certain things
and females other certain things.
End of story.
Transgender means
that you can just cut that bullshit
and instead you say, you know what?
It's not that simple. It not even binary.
- You get it?
- CAITLIN: I'm not sure.
- FRASER: Know what a fever is?
- CAITLIN: Sure.
FRASER:
It's like a symptom, right?
It's a fever is a symptom
that your body is sick.
- CAITLIN: Saying my body's sick?
- FRASER: Telling you it's like a fever.
It is, but it isn't. Like a symptom.
And if you pay attention,
you'll discover real life.
There's a fucking revolution
going on inside of you.
Wow.
CAITLIN WHISPERS:
Wow, he looks so different.
Do you like him?
- I see how you look at him.
- What are you talking about?
You're nervous.
I'm not nervous.
Is your beard growing?
- I don't know.
- Can I touch it?
Stop it. Stop.
- Please?
- No!
Please?
Wow, that's so cool.
THEY LAUGH
Stop!
- SARAH: He's my type, but not my kind.
- MAGGIE: You've become very schematic.
- SARAH: Don't you like it?
- MAGGIE: Depends.
SARAH LAUGHS
CAITLIN GIGGLES
Look at me.
FRASER LAUGHS
OK Keep it straight
and parallel to your skin, alright?
And just go down smooth.
Hey! If you laugh it won't work
because you'll cut yourself.
Hold on, don't move.
It's monumental.
- SARAH: Fraser, sweetheart!
- Fuck, fuck.
Fraser, Caitlin, dinner is ready.
I'm proud of my sauce.
Do I smell like shaving cream?
Unless you're thinking of kissing them
on the mouth, I think you're fine.
I broke up with Sam.
Really?
Yeah, people think we're dating.
- What!
- It'll make you more popular.
I don't wanna be popular.
- Did you put in the red onion?
- MAGGIE: Hmm-mm.
Hey chef, check your dish.
FRASER:
Thanks.
- My God.
- MAGGIE CHUCKLES
- MAGGIE: Looks good.
- FRASER: Stop.
SARAH:
Caitlin.
You can take that seat.
Sweetheart, can you dim the lights?
I have a headache.
Thank you.
FRASER SIGHS:
The fucking cod.
Where's the cream?
So, you didn't get the cream?
Didn't I tell you to buy a bottle of cream?
You never listen to me.
Alright, maybe I didn't tell you,
but the dish needs cream. It needs cream.
Fuck! Never mind, let's eat.
So, this is a local dish?
Yes, I soaked the stockfish for three days.
And I used parmesan, real parmesan,
not like the kind that we used back home.
It's interesting.
OK, it's fucking disgusting.
- No, it's not. It's unusual.
- No, it's actually fucking dis
- It's revolting!
- Don't be so hard on yourself!
- Nobody eat it!
- Just leave it.
Fuck! Nobody eat it! Stop! Nobody eat it!
We should go back to
our usual weekly fucking roast!
Your roast is delicious. Isn't it, Caitlin?
- Yeah.
- Try some farofa with it.
This one.
That's a cute t-shirt.
- You bought it for me.
- Did I?
Yeah.
Remember his turban phase?
Sarah, don't.
When he was a little boy,
he used to put together these looks.
SHE LAUGHS
He'd get a towel
then wrap it on his head, like a turban.
Come on, show her. It was adorable.
- Don't, Sarah.
- Come on! SHE LAUGHS
And you were obsessed with that song.
What's that song? It was like
Lady Gaga, the one where they're all red
in the video remember?
SHE LAUGHS
What's the name of that song?
SARAH VOCALIZES
"Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga
SINGS: Oh, my God!
I want your romance
SHE LAUGHS
Come on!
He looked really cute then.
I used to think I was Wolverine
when I was younger.
Logan.
It was nice having you over.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
RICHARD: One to one.
Best out of three gets the ball.
DANNY:
But you already missed two times!
I find Caitlin terribly intriguing.
RICHARD:
Come on.
Hey! You! Get over here.
Did you hear me? Get over here!
Get a rag.
DANNY:
Dad, our game
Dad!
Should I wait here?
- MARTINO: Goodnight, Colonel.
- RICHARD: Goodnight, Martino.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
RICHARD:
What is this mess?
- Nothing dad, we were just
- That wasn't a question, young lady.
Clean it. If I find just one crumb left
you're in big trouble.
What?
You never called me that before.
You never made a mess of my boat before,
I want it spotless.
SARAH:
I find Cate terribly intriguing.
MAGGIE:
She is.
- You're a witch! You're a witch!
- SARAH: Ouch! Let go of me!
- I hate you! I hate you!
- SARAH: What is wrong with you!
- I hate you! Just stay out of this.
- MAGGIE: Fraser!
SARAH:
Ouch!
FRASER:
I hate you!
I was just trying to be nice
to your girlfriend.
By ridiculing me?
You went out of your way to embarrass me.
And she's not my fucking girlfriend.
Sweetheart
Sweetheart!
Don't be jealous just because she likes me.
RUNNING FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
I'm gonna fucking kill you!
- I'm gonna fucking kill you!
- Alright now. That's enough!
Fraser!
ITEM CLANGS
SARAH:
Fraser!
MAGGIE:
Let him go.
Did you hear what he said?
He can be so cruel.
- He's always been complicated.
- It's exhausting
Trying to being his mother and father
all at the same time,
all the time.
Let's go to bed. SHE SIGHS
Just one more drink, it'll calm my nerves.
You can't imagine what it's like
to have your son say he hates you
to your face.
You're right. SHE SIGHS
I can't imagine.
Oh, honey,
it's obvious
you're the only one he listens to.
MAGGIE: Why do you always
want to have sex after a fight?
- SARAH: Why not?
- MAGGIE: Is there love in our truce?
SARAH:
We're soldiers
we're always ready for battle.
Come on.

THUNDER RUMBLES
I ironed them.
Yes, but you ironed a crease in the back
that shouldn't be there.
I apologize.
Do you think she irons?
Who?
- You talking about the Colonel?
- Yes.
JENNY:
I have no idea.
I think the other woman
does all the housework.
Usually one's the guy and makes decisions
while the other does the chores.
I can't see it work any other way.
Plus, I have a hard time imagining
any of those people doing the laundry.
FRASER HYPERVENTILATES
HE RASPS:
Mommy. Mommy. I can't
SARAH:
Come here.
- MAGGIE: What is it?
- SARAH: It must've been a bad dream.
FRASER RASPS
- SARAH AND MAGGIE: Shh!
Hang on. Shh.
Come here, where does it hurt? Here?
FRASER RASPS:
I can't breathe, Mommy
SARAH:
Come here, baby.
Shh.
The first time you couldn't breathe
was in Morocco. Shh.
You can't remember
because you were just a baby.
I kissed your back
over and over saying "Hush, hush,
Mommy's here,
nothing's gonna happen to you,
cause Mommy's here".
WOMAN ON RADIO:
And so, we all need to remember that
service members who are involved in
potentially concussing events
are required to come in and get evaluated
within 24 hours.
The sooner that you get treatment,
the sooner that you rest your brain,
the sooner you'll get back to health.

SOLDIER:
Good morning, Commander.
That's the only way
we can turn our progressive platform
into real change
Ma'am, good morning.
I wasn't expecting you today.
Just Sarah.
Can you get used to that?
- Where is everyone?
- At Chioggia. There is a festival.
Could you get me a list of the soldiers
who are about to deploy to Afghanistan?
Colonel Poythress reported
that the men are not ready yet.
He said it's too short notice,
and they need their 90 days of prep.
Sometimes we don't have 90 days.
Send a note
to the Theatre Garrison Commander.
Tell him the men's equipment are ready,
so are the men.
Don't make it too formal.
He's a good friend.
My type, not my kind.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
WOMAN: Stewart and Ronny
aren't on the Tug of War team this year.
We lost two key players.
Yeah, they were really powerful,
weren't they?
The team's gonna be unbalanced,
those two used to put up quite a fight.
- Jenny says Richard is concerned.
- MEL: He takes it too darn seriously.
WOMAN: Hey, Maggie.
You're not coming to the festival?
- MAGGIE: What festival?
- What do you mean "what festival"?
Chioggia! You gotta come.
- MAGGIE: No, thank you.
- WOMAN: But it only happens once a year.
- You can't miss it!
- JENNY: Maybe she doesn't want to come.
MEL:
I'm not kidding.
They're going to close off the canals
in Chioggia in 48 hours.
WOMAN:
Not today, I hope?
MEL: No, of course not today,
not with the parade.
They got to get clean them out.
WOMAN:
How does that work?
MEL: I don't know.
They stop the water from flowing in.
Would you please turn the volume up?
WOMAN:
I love Italian songs.
But how do they clean them?
They can't suck up the muck
with a vacuum cleaner
MEL: Of course,
they aren't going to use a vacuum cleaner!
Maybe some sort of pump, I don't know.
Somehow they'll drain the water out.

DANNY:

Never underestimate me.

Again?
I love when he says that.
Jonathan he knows my name.
You're the son of the commander in chief,
everybody knows your name. Especially him.
It felt weird when he hit me.
- Jonathan?
- No, your brother.
What do you mean "it felt weird"?
It's great they don't ask for IDs
when you buy wine here.
That's why this country is so civilized.
What do you mean "it felt weird"?
Nothing. I saw you looking at
that Italian girl when she walked by.
Me? Never, no.
You looked at her ass.
- I don't look at girls' asses.
- Are you sure?
You look at my brother's ass?
No! Never, why would I No!
What about Jonathan's?
OK, just because my mom's a lesbian
doesn't mean that I'm gay.
You don't have to not be gay either.
INDISTINCT CHATTER IN ITALIAN
What do they say about us?
They think we're dating.
I think they think we're weird.
Does that bother you?
We're never gonna kiss.

Cate told me your roast was delicious.
She's usually so finicky
when it comes to meat. SHE LAUGHS
We do know how to cook meat in Brazil.
Are you Brazilian?
Yeah.
My grandma was an amazing cook.
She was the most important person
in my life,
so I like to cook like her.
They only want me to make American food.
What is American food?

You're Nigerian, right?
JENNY:
Hmm-mm.
Do you ever make Egusi soup?

You've had it before?
Once. I loved it.

It's teamwork, all right? We're one.
JENNY:
It's chilly here.
MAGGIE:
Are you a Muslim?
I used to be a lot of things.
And I stopped being a lot of things.
Truth is
I don't know who I am anymore.

Dad, is this right?
RICHARD: Position your feet farther apart
and plant them in the ground.
Lean back with your upper body,
or you'll go flying on the first pull.
- CAITLIN: What's so great about tug-of-war?
- RICHARD: Teamwork and balance.
What wins isn't strength
but focus on command and balance.
- That's the reason why I always win.
- CAITLIN: Can I be on your team?
RICHARD:
When you're 60, 70 pounds heavier.
- CAITLIN: OK, I'm counting on it.
- RICHARD: I'm counting on it, too.
I was 23, and she showed up
up at the clinic for some tests.
She was already pregnant,
but it wasn't obvious.
I was convinced she got pregnant
the first time we made love.
THEY LAUGH
I really did. I honestly believed it.
You never considered
having a child of your own?
You never considered
having something that's only yours
and not Richard's?
It could be Danny.
I'm not so sure.
Pity to waste it
