Hey, Earn.
- Welcome, welcome. You made it.
- Thank you, thank you.
Hey, I'm gonna ask
that you come down here
at five miles per hour.
You know, there's kids
and dogs running around,
sometimes deer.
Yeah, yeah. Sorry.
So, when you pass this road,
just look on either side for signs
to point you where you need to go.
I got you booked for entire grounds.
Great.
- Oh, is that the birthday girl?
- Yeah,
that's-that's Lottie. This is Van.
Hi.
Beautiful family. Well,
I hope y'all enjoy.
Need anything, don't hesitate
to holler at me or my wife.
- Thank you, bye.
- All right, thank you.
Happy birthday.
- Very nice.
- Yeah.
Here, you want to carry one of these?
Take the best one.
Ooh, purple.
That's Prince's favorite color.
What do you think are the chances that
that guy's gonna kill us in our sleep?
Honestly?
Eight. Eight percent.
You think eight percent?
Sounds high.
It's a big tarp.
Yeah.
I got, uh
I got a really awesome tent.
It's, like, the most
expensive one in REI.
The the guy was like,
this is the best one they had.
Like, uh, I think
it's, like, a 12-person.
Like, uh
It's for how many people?
12 person, and you can split the rooms,
and it has, like, a porch, too.
We're gonna be freezing.
What?
'Cause if you don't have
enough body heat to insulate
the space
It'll be fine, though.
Okay.
- It'll be fine. I'm-I'm excited.
- I'm-I'm sorry.
- No, no, no. Okay.
- I didn't know.
- It looks really nice. I mean
- Okay. You're
very welcome.
We're gonna I'm gonna get
It's kind of big.
Let's find the corners.
Hey, Lottie, you want
to-you want to help us?
No.
Huh.
What's going on with her?
She's just tired.
She'll be fine.
Can you hand me those?
- Um, this?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Thank you.
No problem.
So, have you
thought more about L.A.?
I mean
Yeah, I've thought
about it a lot, actually.
We were gonna talk
about it a little later.
Yeah. Whenever you want.
Those ones, I think, go by the door.
Hmm.
Are we missing a pole?
Doesn't quite look right.
What do you think?
She loves it.
Which room you gonna sleep in?
Hm this one.
Ooh.
Which one's Daddy gonna sleep in?
He can sleep outside.
Outside?
I'll get my toothbrush.
I peed.
That's great.
That's exactly what
we were supposed to do.
This river's too high.
- We can't cross it.
- I think we can
We can make it across here.
I think there's a
lo-log underneath there.
We could hop to that rock.
Oh you think she can cross that?
We're just gonna get wet.
- It's too high.
- We'll get wet up to here, but
- she can get on my shoulders.
- Earn. No.
She can get on my shoulders.
Come on, Lottie, let's go.
We can't cross this.
- You don't think so?
- No.
- Maybe
- That that-that's all gonna collapse.
It's all gonna collapse.
That's not true.
- Is it?
- Not in Europe.
- All right.
- It's hard there.
You enjoying your birthday, Lottie?
Do we have any other snacks?
Yeah, I think we do.
- It's like I'm not here.
- I don't really like my birthday.
Since when?
What kind of six-year-old
doesn't enjoy their birthday?
You know how she is
when she's in her moods.
You can't catch anything?
Don't worry, we're gonna
go catch fish later,
and then tonight we're
gonna try to catch a snipe.
A snipe?
Yeah. We're gonna go snipe hunting.
What's a snipe?
It's this really rare creature.
It's nearly extinct.
And it only comes out at night
when the moon is out, and
it's really crazy long,
and it has red eyes.
But only the coolest and
the smartest can catch it.
Did you ever catch it?
No, but maybe with your help I can.
I want to catch it.
Yeah, we're gonna try.
Are y
are you pranking our daughter?
You don't know what a snipe hunt is?
- No.
- It's, like, a tradition.
I did it at Girl Scouts.
You were in Girl Scouts?
- I did not know that.
- Yeah.
I did it for just a
summer, when I was eight.
I didn't like being
trapped camping with people
I didn't vibe with, so
I think, is actually a bird
that's hard to catch,
or something like that,
and it turned into this folklore,
so, you could, in the end,
we could tell her it's a bird.
Okay.
- You want to
- I have no problem with
doing it. It sounds sounds
like it could be, uh, fun.
You know, cool, it's
just, when you-when you
- first hear "snipe hunt"
- Mm-hmm.
It sounds like a racist,
- like, mob.
- Oh, my God.
Like, "Let's get the snipe.
- You're so silly.
- He's taking our jobs."
Hey!
Oh.
- Lottie. You
- Wow.
- Maybe put him down.
- Yeah, put him down.
- Yeah, maybe put him dow
- I don't want to, though.
Lottie. This is nature, okay?
That toad is not for you, okay?
I want to hold it, though.
- I want it to stay.
- Yeah.
But it let you take a look at him,
and then it wanted to go.
You should feel lucky that
you got to hold it, okay?
Come on. I have some raspberries.
Come on.
You know, I know this little girl.
Her name is, uh, Shottie.
And, um,
she has a dad named Shmad.
And, um
all they do is eat ice cream
in Opposite World.
What?
All they do is eat ice cream,
and they get thinner.
That's, like, totally the opposite
of what you're supposed to do.
- What would be the
- You're sup
you're supposed to not have
- Ice cream.
- Ice cream all the time,
and when you do, you're
supposed to get fat.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Is that why I'm so fat?
I eat ice cream, like, every day.
Like, for breakfast.
- No, you don't.
- I do.
You guys good?
- Yeah, we're good.
- Yeah.
All right.
- I love how calm it is.
- Yeah, it's great.
- Oh, that actually is cool.
- It's really cool.
I wish grandma and grandpa were here.
Hmm.
- Yeah, that makes sense.
- Yeah.
You know, we'll make sure that, um,
they celebrate with us this weekend.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Are you just missing them
or you wish they were doing
your birthday with you?
- Both.
- Both.
Both.
Well, I think it's
kind of cool that we're all
- Together. Yeah.
- Together. Yeah.
That's special.
That's special, too, right? I mean,
- it doesn't happen all the time.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Am I starving,
or is this incredible?
It's really good.
I think we should talk more about L.A.
Yeah. We probably should.
Mom.
The moon is out.
Oh, it is.
Baby, why don't we go looking
for snipes tomorrow, hm?
I think it's a little late now.
Here, take the pillowcase,
put it on the ground, and open it up.
Do you have a marshmallow?
- Just one?
- Yeah.
And you're gonna take the marshmallow,
you're gonna put it
inside the pillowcase
all the way to the end, okay?
Now, you're gonna take the lantern,
you're gonna put it next to the opening,
so that when the snipe
walks in, you can see it.
You need to find a stick. Here.
And then you're gonna make this sound.
That's gonna lure the snipe, okay?
And the snipe should
just walk in on its own
to get the marshmallow bait.
You know what you're
gonna do when it does that?
You're gonna take your foot,
you're gonna stomp on the pillowcase,
trap the snipe in there,
and then you're gonna
hit it on the head, okay?
Okay.
Here.
Good job. All right, baby, have fun.
Where are you going?
Aw. Baby, you have to
hunt the snipe alone.
If there's too many people around,
the snipe's not gonna come.
But don't worry, we're
right over there, okay?
What?
You, what?
L.A.
You gonna come with me?
Is that why you did all this?
What do you mean?
You know, it feels a little manipulative
to rent out an entire campground.
I-I just wanted to make
Lottie's birthday special.
Can I ask you a question?
What's so great about Atlanta
that you can't leave it behind?
I mean, it'd be my choice to stay.
That's not what it's about, though.
I'm afraid that
it's about you not wanting
to be alone when you go there,
and that you're scared of that.
And I'm not just
your security blanket.
Got him!
What?
I got the snipe.
Uh what did it look like?
Long, with red eyes, and
I hit it with the stick
when I caught it.
Uh, okay, okay,
Lottie, um
listen.
When I count to three,
you're going to put the
lamp down very slowly,
drop the bag, and run to Mommy, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
One, two
- three. Come, come, come, come, come,
- Go, go, go, go,
- go, go.
- Come, come, come, come, come.
Baby, are you okay?
Hold this.
Earn
- Please be careful.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Aah!
- Oh, my God.
Oh! Oh!
- What was that?
- What was that?
It was a snipe.
I got him.
VAN and EARN: Happy birth ♪
Shh! No singing, please.
Happy birthday, baby.
Happy birthday. so big.
Earn.
Yeah?
Is that your teeth chattering?
Maybe.
I I think you should
just get in with us.
This is really sad.
Her feet are cold.
- Her feet?
- Yeah.
Yeah
It's those sharp toenails.
I know. Talons.
Lottie?
Lottie, do you want some more s'mores?
What are you doing?
Testing to see if she's awake.
You know, when I go
I-I wouldn't have to be alone.
You know, I'm not
I'm not saying that to be cocky.
I have a good job, and a
cool job.
I'm not terrible-looking.
And I'm not tied to anything
that would turn someone off from me.
And you'd be here, raising our kid.
And I'd see you every, you know,
couple of months, maybe
once or twice a year.
If I didn't want to be alone,
I wouldn't have to be.
I could find someone.
You know, someone new, but
it-it's not about that.
Then what is it about? Is it, like, a
a co-parenting arrangement
- or
- No. I, uh
I want to be a family.
I want us to be a family.
I mean, look at Lottie.
I mean, she's fucking amazing.
She's the physical
manifestation of what happens
when we get together.
I mean, she's smart,
she's kind, she's sensitive,
and she's intuitive.
- Mm-hmm.
- She's
the best parts of
both of us. I'm just
I
I know you love Lottie, and
I know you'll miss her.
I'm fighting for you, Van.
You know me. I don't fight for anything.
Van, look at me.
I love you.
I can't just pack up my whole life
'cause you love me as Lottie's mom.
That's not
enough
for me.
Do you think I just
see you as Lottie's mom?
Do you not realize how
in love with you I am?
How much I think about you?
I've dreamed about you
every night since Amsterdam.
I do see you as a woman.
I still want you.
I desire you, Van.
When I think about the fact that
that you are also the
mother of my child
I could just fucking burst.
I've never felt that way about anything.
I wasn't able
I wasn't able to feel that before.
And I'll love you forever
because of that, no matter what.
I mean, what else are
we doing this for
if not for that feeling?
What else is there?
You know what I mean?
I do.
It's a little
Kanye being passionate,
but I do know what you mean.
I don't want to find someone new.
Not because it's
it isn't time-consuming, and
you know, annoying,
which it is.
It's because
I I just want to do this with you.
Okay? I just want to do this with you.
Will you go to L.A. with me,
so we can be a family?
Like, a for-real family?
Okay Okay.
Okay.
Are you cold?
- Yeah, I'm freezing.
- Okay.
I love you, too.
I know.
I know.
Me too.
I think there's a slant.
I think we slid down.
Mm!
Now you spit.
Supposed to rain today.
What?
When?
Leave it. We'll-we'll get another.
Okay. Come on.
- Baby, come on, let's go.
- Yeah, let's get in the car.
- Got it?
- Yeah.
