Oh, my God, you're up.
- Good morn'ting.
- Good morn'ting.
- How long you been awake?
- Couple hours.
Actually, I already have your coffee.
- Oh.
- And I got you some road snacks.
Joel, you know I'm not
much of a morning eater.
- (GIGGLING)
- Bad little puddy cat, what's in here?
Oh, my God. A muffin, a scone
And is that a bagel bite?
Come here, you little honey.
(GASPS) Oh, my God.
- That is delicious.
- (JOEL GIGGLES)
I'm almost beginning to believe
that you really care about me, Joel.
- (GIGGLES)
- Sam!
I just wanna make today
a little easier for you.
- It's gonna be fine. I'll be great.
- (LAUGHS)
But are you gonna be okay without me?
Yeah, I'm gonna run some errands.
I have to flip my
house, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm thinking maybe
I'll get some steps.
- Excuse me?
- (LAUGHS)
Joel, no! Come on!
I'm gonna be stuck in a car all day.
I'm in a deficit. Don't get that many.
Okay, fine. I-I'll heave my
body into a shopping cart
and have someone push me around all day.
My feet won't touch the ground.
- Great.
- (LAUGHS) Great.
- (GIGGLES)
- Alright. You need me to finish?
- (DROPS PEN)
- Yeah. (SIGHS)
I know I need to finish
it on my own one day,
- but I just don't get it.
- Let's go to the back.
People think just because I
got tits I ain't got no brains.
Wait, that's the answers!

I've never seen an
allergic reaction like that.

How about a walk?
It's such a nice day.
Um, yeah. Sure.
Yeah?
Yeah.
You're turning that off?
You won't get credit for your steps.
Oh, it just makes my arm feel tingly.

Won't let you? What
are you talking about?
You know, Mom, this is not our fault.
This is not Dad's fault.
This is your fault!
You kept drinking when
they told you not to,
and then you had a stroke,
just like the doctor said you would.
- Sam
- I'm Well, it's true! And now, and now
and now, you treat everybody
around you like shit,
especially the one person
that will tolerate you.
I mean, and then and then,

I always tell my kids,

and you can't lose.
And I love teaching,
of course. And woodwork.
But I don't know.

I felt a little silly at first.
And then I thought, why not?
Who says I-I can't take
voice lessons at my age?
So, I called Darlene up,
and I've been seeing her ever since.
Hm. How long has that been?
Oh five years now? Yeah.
You're really good.
- No. No, I'm not.
- (LAUGHING)
No No.
Well, you're very passionate!
True! I am very committed,
- but I know I'm not a good singer.
- (GIGGLES)
Who cares? I love it.
- Yeah.
- And
the kids seem to get a kick
out of old grandpa really goin' for it.
- And it's good for them to see that.
- (LAUGHS)
Plus
- I think I'm Darlene's favorite.
- Oh! (LAUGHS)
I will deny it if you ever
tell anyone I said that.
Alright. I guess it'll
just be our little secret.
- Alright.

Hey, are you on Bumble or
something? What is that?
No! I'm not on Bumble. It's

No, it's definitely something,

to know about it, you should've
turned your fuckin' ringer off.

- But now I know, now I'm invested.
Just tell me what's goin' on.
What's the big deal? (LAUGHS)
Oh, my God Oh, my
God, did you make that?
I did, yeah.
Are you selling "lying cunt" pillows?
- Yes, I didn't mean to
- Tricia!
I know! It just happened.
- Wow.
- After I found out about Rick and Charity,
I made one, and then
got really mad again,
and posted it on my Finsta.
And then, someone famous reposted it,
and now I mean, I
can't keep up! It's insane.
Oh, my God.
Did you give one of those to Charity?
No!
I just put it in the store
where she could see it.
- Holy shit, Tricia.
- (LAUGHS)
Wow. And you have a Finsta.
- Well, it's a good outlet for my rage, you know?
- Yeah.
I don't know, I mean
I think you could make
a ton of money on that.
You're sittin' on a gold mine.
Oh! I don't know what to do.
Well, what do you mean? You're doing it!
- No, I can't
- You are doing it, Tricia!
- I cannot do this. This is not
- Of course, you can.
This isn't a business!
This is like making porn!
- It's not porn.
- I mean, this is just too embarrassing.
- This is not who I am.
- Well, I mean, but it is.
I mean, you made it, and
it's fucking glorious!
Lying cunt pillows!
Shit! Why didn't I think of that?
No, I wanna be a businesswoman though!
I wanna be, like,
taken seriously as a
businesswoman, you know?
I wanna do events.
I wanna do weddings and
showers and luncheons.
I mean, we can't talk
about this at church.
Okay, so don't.
B-But, I want to.
- Okay, then do!
- I know, but I can't.
Why not?
I just
I worked so hard for so long,
and now, there's nothing to show for it.
Nothing came of it. It's over.
And now, people see me, and
they just look at me
and feel sorry for me.
- No, they don't.
- Yes, they do.
No, they don't, Tricia. And if
if they do, who cares? They're jerks.
Fuck 'em. (SNIFFS)
Right? Fuck 'em.
(SAM LAUGHS)
I just think, um
you know
all these people doing
all that shit on Instagram.
Why not you, right?
You could quit your day job.
Um
What? (LAUGHS)
I got fired.
You got fired from the grocery store?
Yes, which was your fault, by the way.
- Oh, okay. How?
- Because you made me do day drinking!
- I can't do that.
- (LAUGHS) Oh, my God.
You got fired for being
drunk at work, Tricia?
- It's not funny. (LAUGHS)
- Oh, you bad girl.
- It's not funny! It's not a joke!
- It's a little funny.
- It's really bad!
- Okay, I'm sorry,
but seriously, a grocery store?
I mean, bigger and better things, right?
And I could totally help you with this.
Think of it. You could
do, like, "princess cunt."
- You could do "pretty cunt."
- (LAUGHS) God
- What's happening?
- You could do "super cunt,"
- "cunt crew," "live laugh cunt."
- God
- "New cunt, who dis?" Oh, my God!

- "Big and juicy cunt," Tricia!
- Sam! Shh!

Do you ever go to that
arts and crafts fair
that they have here in the spring?
Love it. Like, my favorite thing.
- Hm.
- I got this bracelet there.
Oh, I saw those.
Huh.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
Um
I saw the name of your
church on your tote bag.
And when Sam stopped taking lessons,
I wasn't sure when I'd
see you again, so
it's not a coincidence
that I ran into you.
So, you do text and drive?
(LAUGHS)
I actually never do.
- Okay, good.
- (SOFT LAUGH)
Wow.
Wow.
(LAUGHS)
Feels kind of nice to be
- stalked I guess has a negative connotation.
- (LAUGHS)
Does it? (GIGGLES)
- Wow.
- I just wanted to see you again.
I was gonna just go to the service.
See you there.
But I've been on a little
break from church lately.
I just don't even know
what I believe anymore.
I don't know.
Been having this personal
crisis lately, too, because
my friend asked me
to officiate his wedding.
You know, just be there for my friend.
And it's not even a religious ceremony.
You know, he doesn't want that, but I
I get in my head
This isn't what you asked, is it?
I don't think I asked a question.
(LAUGHS)
But thanks for telling me.
Really.
I believe the whole point is
church is where you go to
when you're confused.
JOEL: Hm.
And you also don't have to do anything.
Just show up. Just
go to church.
Or don't. (LAUGHS)
- You know?
- Yeah.
But if you want to, you
should come with me sometime.
I'd love to come with you sometime.
(SCOFFS)
You ever bless an animal?
No. Have you?
Yeah. I did a goat once.
You blessed a goat?
- Mm-hmm.
- That's pretty cool.

But, you know,
- nobody likes a braggart.

Oh, we got a letter from Dad.
Aw, read it.
Oh, yes.
"I didn't know which of you to
send this to, I sent it here.
I figured you would
both get it at the farm.
I'm grateful you pushed me to do this,
and I really am okay.
Don't worry about me.
I'm here with my brother,
and it's like we're kids again.
I know your mom wouldn't see me,
but I hope to tell her that I love her,
and she's always on my mind.
Love, Dad.
PS, say hi to my buddy Fred.
If you have any farm
questions, he's the guy."
- And then, he drew a little cow.
- (LAUGHS)
- Sure. (LAUGHS)
- Just a long torso
like you've never seen before.

We can get you probably,
like, friends and family rate,

- (GIGGLES)
- Alright.
- Just for the night, then, of course,
we'll have to, uh There's
gonna be the reception,
so that'd be another five, 10K.
That's alright. I had a
great year at the school.
And, you know, she's great with numbers.
See, they pay teachers too much.
- Yeah, we'll make it work.
- No, it's on us.
We can fuck it up, do whatever we want.
But this is gorgeous. I mean,
this is absolutely stunning.
It is, and you can see all
the sunflowers over here.
And we just cleaned out the barn.
- Coincidentally Yes!

This family shit. (LAUGHS)
I swear it was so much easier
when I just didn't care.

There really is something to be said
for lockin' it down and goin' it alone.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Well, sorry. You've got me now.
(LAUGHS)
Joel, I swear, just promise
me, when we get to the end,
if I turn up like my mother,
you will put me out of my misery.
- A pillow right over the face.

That's exactly the way I wanna go.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Ah, Joel, I'd be a shell without you.
Mm
You want another twist?
Only if you think I'm worth the trouble.
- Thank you.
- Plus, I didn't get a lot of steps today,
so I'm gonna go for it.
I mean, what is it? It's just vodka.
But it's so good.
JOEL: Oh, honey, you know
I infuse it with love, too.
(LAUGHS) Oh, thank you.
I like it when you put the twist in.
Like, if there's one
twist, I know I've had one.
If there's two twists,
I know I've had three.
And if I have three twists,
I can't have any more.
