Finding Reality

1 [BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[BIKE BELL RINGS.]
[WOMAN GRUNTING.]
Car trouble? Life trouble.
Lost my bikini bar.
Lost the feeling in my left nipple after that asshole shot me in the tit with a crossbow! [SIGHS.]
What's with the rickshaw full of junk? There was talk of drug testing at work, and unless they're grading on a curve, I don't think I'll pass.
So I'm thinking of going to the beach, making a fresh start.
[SCOFFS.]
Fresh start.
This is gonna be amazing.
New town, new people, a whole new me.
I'm gonna be "Vivian the new girl" instead of "Tickles the stripper who jerks off guys in the supply closet.
" Hey, who are you gonna be? Seeing as how I've never jerked off a guy in a supply closet, I'll probably just be me in a warmer climate.
But if I get a job delivering food, I would love a uniform this time.
Always thought it would be cool to have a uniform.
Moooooooooooooooooooo! - [LAUGHS.]
- What was that? Oh, we just passed a field of cows.
Where are you? The Amalfi Coast in Italy.
Just coming up on Positano.
Gorgeous.
Just gorgeous.
Whoo! I get it now, Clooney! I get it! [SEA GULLS SQUAWKING.]
Hello.
Welcome to Emmy Lou's.
I'm Vivian.
Today's special is the tilapia burger.
Shit, I was supposed to say that at the table.
Sorry.
I'm new.
No, no, no.
That's okay.
I-I'm just here to pick up the keys to a place we booked online.
Bare Feet Retreat.
Hey, Boss, someone's here to pick up the keys! [BELL DINGS.]
- Is it just you? - No.
Uh, my my husband's walking his dog.
Hi.
I'm Tommy.
Hi.
Your place looks amazing.
Oh.
Thank you, but it's my mother's.
It's her income property.
She lives in Idaho, so I just hand out the keys.
Honey, the renter's here.
Did you get a chance to change the sheets and fold the toilet paper into a point? I thought you said they were coming tomorrow.
Oh, I was wrong.
Uh, do you think that you could Waddle my pregnant ass over to the beach and pull crusty sheets off the bed so your bitch mother can get a good Yelp review? No, I don't.
[SCOFFS.]
My fiancée usually gets the place ready, but, uh Hor-mones.
[CHUCKLES.]
Anyway, there should be a change of sheets in the linen closet.
And the point on the toilet paper really only lasts one poop, so [SIGHS.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
You found me.
Come in.
I got to show you something.
I caught a baby dragon.
I think that's a scorpion.
Aw, man.
Seriously? I already called a local radio station.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES.]
Uh-oh.
Renters.
We should probably duck out the back.
This isn't your place? No.
They hire me to do random jobs once in a while, so I have a key.
TARA: Your beach house is charming.
And it turns out it's perfect for all my husband's activities.
First, he did a little big-game hunting [LION ROARS.]
Shh! then he visited a couple museums surfed.
[GROANS.]
And now he's skydiving.
Whoo! Aaah! We came up to the beach because our marriage therapist suggested that a change of scenery might be beneficial.
So far, no luck.
Whoa! I'm going for a walk on the beach now! - Do you wanna come? - I can't.
I'm gonna stick my head in the freezer and climb the Alps.
I brought an extra pair of goggles if you want to hold my ropes.
Whoo! [SEA GULLS SQUAWKING.]
This should be enough change to cover the food, but probably not enough for the tip.
I can fix things.
Is anything broken at your house? I've been crashing on the beach.
Going to sleep to the sound of waves is cool, but in the morning, it takes a good half-hour to get the little crabs out of my hair.
Then that's it.
The perfect tip.
You can stay here.
I know it's small, but I don't have peripheral vision, so you'll have tons of privacy.
That's real nice of you, but I think I'll stick to the beach.
I roll around a lot when I sleep, and the sand has proven itself to be a cost-efficient way to exfoliate.
- I'll buy you lunch.
- With what? My skills.
[SIGHS.]
I blew out my flip flop.
Derek? [ WOMAN MOANIN.]
Tara? Sorry to disturb you! [SIGHS.]
- Let me explain.
- I don't want to hear it.
Oh, okay.
You're telling me you never masturbate? Of course I masturbate.
We haven't had sex in four months because you've been staying up all night with your stupid World War II simulator.
Stupid, Tara? 6 million simulated Jews are dead.
You know, I could understand why you'd rather see the coast of Italy than be on the freeway, and I even understand why you'd rather go skydiving than take a walk on the beach with me, but when it comes to sex, I should not have to play second fiddle to your virtual pornography.
I am a real woman with a real vagina and a weird little skinny strip of pubic hair because that's what you said you like.
You're right.
You're right.
I get it.
And I know I've been spending a lot of time in the virtual world.
It's just [SIGHS.]
About a year ago, a few weeks before I turned 40, I started to think about how I was halfway to 80.
My dad died when he was 80.
I realized that my life Could be half over.
Every minute that passed, it just It just felt like my life was, like, slipping away, you know? And then you gave me these goggles for my birthday.
- [LAUGHS.]
- And all of a sudden, I could travel to places that I had never been to.
I could do things that I had only dreamed of.
I no longer fear death because I already lived a lifetime.
I understand why you're upset.
And I don't want you to think for a second that I'm not attracted to you.
'Cause I am.
[CHUCKLES.]
It's just When you walked in on me, I was having sex with, like, a 19-year-old Brazilian.
So I feel like if you put these goggles on and you see what she looks like I don't want to see what she looks like.
No, but you need to.
You need to.
See, that's the problem.
You understand what the view of the freeway looks like, so you can understand why I'd rather be in the Italian countryside.
So if you took one look at Ana Luiza, then I think you would understand why I would rather be in her.
You're an asshole! [SCOFFS.]
She's covered in tattoos and rolls her R's when she orgasms! There's no way you can compete with that and it's not your fault! [DOOR SLAMS.]
Here you go.
- [BELL DINGS.]
- MAN: Order up.
Awesome-sauce.
What do I owe you? Well, it only took five minutes, but I did get shocked seven times.
So how about anything my buddy wants off the kid's menu? Deal.
Yeah.
May I recommend The Captain Pajama Pants Grouper Fingers? I just thawed out a fresh bucket.
Mm.
I thought I wasn't supposed to talk to you anymore.
What? [SCOFFS.]
- Who said that? - You did.
As soon as we got to the beach, you told me to forget that I knew you.
Then you gave me the finger and ran off with my popcorn popper.
Yeah, but see, that was the old me.
I've totally transformed.
Like a moth.
See, I didn't even say butterfly 'cause I'm, like, totally humble now.
Who's your friend? Bodhi? Bodhi.
So exotic.
Introduce me.
But the new me.
Remember, Tickles is dead.
Oh, oh, all right, all right, okay.
Um, [CLEARS THROAT.]
Nikki, what are you doing? I'm resting.
I'm burning up.
I think the A/C is broken.
Okay.
I'll take a look at it, but you're probably hot because when you're pregnant, the amount of blood in your body actually increases, and the extra blood can cause a rise in body temperature.
You've been reading those new mom - message boards again, haven't you? - Well, one of us has to.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey, Bodhi, could you come look at the A/C? I'll throw in dessert for your buddy.
It was really nice meeting you.
So, what are you guys gettin' into tonight? I don't know.
Might try to catch some live music.
I like to watch and see if they mess up.
Hey, it's me.
You guys should come visit at the beach.
Pfft, this place could use some live music.
No, you can stay with me.
I've got a couch.
And a popcorn popper.
And that's why I think I might finally leave him.
DEREK: Tara, can you please come out? I was hoping things would get better if I got pregnant.
I really want to be a mom, but Derek says he can't concentrate on being a father until after he's done with the war.
I'm sorry, okay? I was being selfish.
But I have something to show you that I think will fix everything.
Okay, so, I did a little digging, and there's a company in Denmark that specializes in virtual-reality soft-core porn for couples.
We can do this together.
So, look, the actors Heroin-addicted sex workers.
Tomato, tomahto.
They take turns wearing goggles equipped with cameras that capture their P.
O.
V.
while they're making love.
So if you wear your goggles and watch her video of him and I wear my goggles and watch his video of her, then we can have real-life sex together, but it will seem like we're having sex with them! - You're insane! - Oh, come on.
You can't tell me that you'd rather have sex with me than take a ride on top of that stallion.
Right now, I'd rather have sex with anyone but you.
Perfect, so take your pick.
Blonde, brunette, ginger, short, tall - Derek, I don't - Asian, black, Native American.
Go back to black.
"Things get steamy when Gina drops by her boss's house "to water the plants and discovers a half-naked man "tied to the bed.
" I think I saw a watering can in the front.
Yes! And you're not wearing a condom! Okay, fine.
But if you get pregnant and I have to go AWOL on my platoon, then Hitler wins.
So that's on you.
Okay, so, remember, all we have to do is mimic their movements.
If they kiss, we kiss.
If they switch positions, we switch positions.
I understand.
I'm not an idiot.
It's like square dancing but with screwing.
Let's do this.
Oh, my.
Who are you? I'm here to water my boss's plants while he's on vacation.
I'm Ronald.
Your boss is secretly in the mob and he kidnapped me for stealing his drugs.
Oh, my.
Is that the stolen package I'm seeing in your underwear? Why don't you come over here and find out? Mmm.
Ow, ow, ow.
You're on my knee.
You're on my knee.
- You're on my knee.
- Sorry.
Ow.
Oh, my.
If that's a drug, I'm sorry, Nancy Reagan, but I can't say no.
Hmm.
I thought my dick would be bigger.
Shh! Sorry.
[ MOAN.]
- [SIGHS.]
- [STATIC.]
My screen froze.
What? Uh, well, mine's fine.
Yours is probably buffering.
The Wi-Fi isn't great here.
Just Just keep going.
Keep going.
It's working again.
I think I'm a little behind you, though.
It's fine.
Just stay in character.
[ GASPS.]
Hey, what are you doing to my prisoner? Honey, how far behind are you? Do you see this? [MUFFLED TALKING.]
Sorry, boss.
You should be sorry.
You're doing it all wrong.
You gotta work the balls.
No, no, no, no! Stop! Stop! Aah! I can't look away! I can't look away! No! Let go of my balls! Let go of my balls! " stops by her boss's house to water the plants "and discovers a half-naked man tied to the bed.
" Okay, you see where it says "more"? You need to click on that so we can read more.
[KEYBOARD KEY CLICKS.]
"And things really heat up "when the boss gets home early "and he gets in on the action.
" [CHUCKLES.]
I'm sorry.
It's porn.
I wasn't anticipating a major plot twist.
- You know what? Let's just forget this.
- No, no, no.
Me and Ronald have unfinished business to attend to.
He has other videos.
We're picking something else.
Here we go.
"When Gina's boss, Vinnie, is killed - "by a rival gang" - I like it.
" Gina and Ronald enter the exotic world of S&M.
" Looks like you're getting tied up again.
All right, fine, but let's keep reading and make sure this doesn't turn into a supernatural thriller.
I don't need Vinnie's ghost sneaking up behind me and licking my asshole.
[BOTH MOANING.]
Pinch my nipples.
Oh, I'll pinch your nipples, bitch.
Ooh! Ow, ow, ow! I like it, though.
Do it harder.
Shut up.
Your stupid white voice is ruining it.
Choke me.
Uh-huh.
Ooh.
You like that? I love it.
Yeah.
I bet you do, you little bitch.
Uh-huh.
Give it to me.
[ BOTH MOANIN.]
Oh.
[ MOANING.]
Oh.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, wow.
That was amazing.
Oh, my God.
Derek.
Derek? Aaaaaaaah! AUNT ROSE: How was it his wife said he died again? UNCLE ALEC: Autoerotic asphyxiation.
What? Autoerotic asphyxiation.
It's when you masturbate while cutting off the flow of oxygen to your brain.
What? He accidentally hung himself with a belt while jerking off.
The poor woman found him in the bedroom.
I hope it was that belt we gave him for Christmas.
Whoa! [CROWD GASPS.]

Sure.
Cash is great, yeah.
It's, uh It's Mother's property.
Usually people book online, but this way I don't have to tell her anyone rented the place.
Just if do me a solid and don't write in the guest book.
Don't worry.
We're good at keeping secrets.
