All That We Love (2024) Movie Script
1
Go get your ball
Go get your ball
Go get your big ass ball
Big ass ball
Big ass ball
Go get your big ass ball
Tanner...
you can go.
It's okay.
Mommy's here.
I'll be okay.
I love you so much, boy.
My baby boy.
Hey, how you holding up?
Okay.
Pretty cool, huh?
I still don't think
this is a good idea.
Oh, shut up.
I always wear a good helmet.
Are you still up for it?
We don't have to or anything.
I just thought
since we're here...
I already found a spot.
Give me your phone.
How's this?
Fine.
I don't want fine.
I want sexy motherfucker,
all right?
Come on. Perk up.
Have some energy
for me please?
If we're doing this,
we're doing this.
- Okay.
- Tell me what to do.
So, just, um,
put your head back
a little bit
so it hits the light.
How's this?
-Nice.
-All right. Keep going.
I want options.
So that looks good.
Now, just, you know,
just give it to me.
-How about that?
-Oh, good. That's good.
Wait, wait,
these have to be--
they have to be cute though,
right?
I don't wanna look like
I'm messing around.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-What if I...
-Oh, hot. Hot.
-Yeah?
Hot. All right.
Try sitting on the bike.
-Get on the bike.
-Okay.
Good.
So, look off
and don't look at me.
Yeah, that's great.
I would fuck him.
Yes.
No.
No.
Oh, God.
Uh...
Hey, look.
Best one, right?
Oh, the midlife crisis
is really coming through
on that one.
This is the first time
I'm here without him.
I'm gonna need a minute.
Yeah.
You don't have
to do this, Emma.
You can keep them.
Really?
But my neighbor said--
Oh, come on.
You barely talk to that guy.
You're really gonna take
his advice
on where to leave
Tanner's ashes?
...of what you want
the room to feel like.
Various colors
evoke different emotions
and convey
unique personality--
Fuck.
- Oh, fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
- So...
No. Oh, fuck.
K11 is in second proofs.
Oh, and they added two alt
covers for you to approve.
Okay.
And the buyers are going
to present the merch
for L12 this Friday.
Thanks, Lynn.
Just one more thing.
I got H9 in the mail.
Who copyedited that?
Uh, that would be Brian.
Brian.
Where's Brian, Phillip?
Uh, he has
a doctor's appointment.
Hmm. Because I caught
at least six instances
of hand-painted
without the hyphens.
I know I sound
like a broken record
but we spell grey
with an E.
No exceptions.
Also the swatch order
didn't match the copy
with the fringed table linen
on page 29.
I've circled everything
in red.
I'll speak to Brian.
I can fix the digital--
I was training Brian.
I'm sorry. I, uh,
thought I checked his work.
I guess not.
I can handle this, Phillip.
Okay.
Well, happy Monday, everyone.
Got another email...
Mm.
...from dad.
Yeah. Uh, I got one too.
Should we write him back?
Mom, he's just making amends.
Good.
It's about freaking time.
But fuck his guilt.
It's been forever.
He lives in another country.
What's the point?
It's not like we're ever
gonna see him again.
You'll be back
before the holidays, right?
I thought we could go
on a road trip,
like we used to.
Yeah, about that.
Um, I think we're gonna stay
in Australia
a little longer.
How much longer?
Five months.
Five--instead of five weeks?
Mom, Nate hasn't seen
his family in ages.
And he wants
to show me around.
He has friends in Sydney,
in Brisbane,
and we're gonna go
to New Zealand,
maybe check out Thailand.
What about your job?
I put in my notice.
Couldn't we have
discussed this?
I discussed it with Nate.
Mom, we saved up for this.
I can still freelance
as an illustrator.
I'll be fine.
Hey. What if you visited us
for the holidays, huh?
Twenty hours in coach.
Sounds like a nightmare.
You can afford business.
That's on you.
Oh, you're right.
It's better where it was.
I told you.
I do this for a living.
Okay. Right here?
Yeah, yeah,
this is good. Okay.
Yeah, it looks cute there.
-Perfect.
-Yes.
Oh, is this new too?
Um, yeah, I got it
at the same place
I got the console table.
We have this exact table.
I could've got it
for you for 20% off.
I never would've heard
the end of it.
Where's Craig's recliner
and armoire?
I sold them.
Okay.
You have so many likes.
When we do a post
for Timmons,
we get a 150 likes, max.
So pathetic.
I'm an Instagay, bitch.
Oh, get this.
I had this open house today.
And, um, this really
cute couple came in.
And then after they left,
they sent me their dick pics.
Do you wanna see?
Respectfully decline.
Hmm.
What is this?
This is a new mix by this
Instagay DJ I'm following.
It's banging, right?
Ugh, I thought
you hated this shit.
You're in a mood.
Ugh, the vet called.
The receptionist said
that I have an excess balance
of $38.
Can you imagine?
The nerve.
After all of the thousands
I've pumped into that place.
Oh. I ran into Dom Wilcox.
He says you still haven't
returned his call.
-Oh, no. Please do not...
-Huh.
...set me up with anybody.
The last one
was a total disaster.
And Dom Wilcox,
that name is so porny.
I can't stand it.
I love
how insanely porny it is.
No, no, Dom's great.
I've known him for years.
He's not gonna raid
your closet
and donate your clothes
like Eric did.
I know. Psychotic.
Who does that?
Well, you know, I mean,
some of those sweaters,
they had to go.
They're vintage.
Oh, shit.
Okay. Come on. Come on.
That beat's gonna drop.
Get your ass up. Come on.
Come on.
There you go. Yeah.
So give me
love tonight...
I know I should've
caught Brian's errors.
He's still new
and he's busting his ass.
- He'll get better.
- Uh-hmm.
I made my share of mistakes
when I first started too.
I'm sure you remember.
Look, we've downsized.
Everyone is wearing
20 different hats.
But Lynn and I
can review anything you need,
so please just utilize us.
Great. That's helpful.
Well, just to put it
out there,
if we get hit again,
I would like to volunteer
to be laid off.
I've heard that the severance
is actually pretty decent.
You've been with us
for what, 11 years?
Yes. And I'm so grateful
to have something so steady
and to learn so much from you
and the team
and the employee discount.
I have so many nice things.
Things I don't
really need but,
um, if I'm honest,
at the meeting when you were,
like, grey with an E,
I mean,
is this where we're at?
Back when I started, we were
known for our clever branding
and our snappy headlines
and our holiday catalogs.
They were collector's items.
You're not wrong.
This place has changed
since the merger.
I've been thinking
about what I should be doing
with the rest of my life.
And getting laid off
might push me
towards my calling.
- Your calling?
- Yes.
To better serve the Lord.
I've been volunteering
at my church
and they wanna create
a position for me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you were kidding.
Um, okay. Yeah,
I can't promise anything
but I'll talk to HR
if that's
what you really want.
Yeah. Thank you.
What's up, my Raveners?
It's your girl, Raven.
And today as always,
I'm Ravenous.
I'm gonna be taking down
12 packs of spicy ramen.
No drops of water,
no cheating, no edits.
That's right. And I'm gonna
up the challenge.
When I get to the last noodle
on my plate,
I'm gonna snort it
up my nose!
Okay. Here we are.
The moment
you've been waiting for.
What's your girl do?
Never break a promise.
Make sure to like
and subscribe.
Here we go, no turning back.
Okay. All right. Okay.
There's a first time
for everything.
That is up my brain.
Thanks for getting back.
It's been forever.
A decade, actually,
because, uh, you helped Andy
move out of my place.
Damn. You're right.
And you're famous now.
I saw your videos.
I don't know about famous.
You subscribed to my channel?
I--um, yes.
I'm about to hit a million.
Hook your sister up.
Or ex-sister-in-law.
And like some of my videos.
Anyway, the reason I called,
um, Andy sent me a card.
I don't know
if you remember our dog?
He just passed away.
Yeah, I heard.
You did?
I mean, I remember Tanner.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thanks.
It's kinda weird.
We haven't talked in a while.
And the card
was postmarked in the US,
and it had
your area's ZIP code.
Are you still
in North Hollywood?
Uh-huh.
So...
is Andy back from Singapore?
Why are you back?
Raven didn't say?
Cynthia and I divorced.
Oh. I didn't know.
Yeah. Three years ago.
And my show got canceled.
And then there was a DUI,
it was all over
the news there.
And I wasn't getting
any more work,
so I figured
I'd come back here
and start auditioning again.
I landed this indie.
It's called "Being Rich."
I play Rick Wong,
a grocery clerk who uncovers
the secret portal
in the freezer section
that leads
to this alternate reality
where he becomes Rich White,
who is--
Rich and White?
I guess that is a bit
on the nose, huh?
Oh, I was kidding.
I didn't...
Well, it's more
than that, right?
So he keeps flipping between
these alternate worlds
and these two identities
where he has to figure out
which one he'd rather be.
It's very hard
to be rich and White.
It actually is,
at least for this movie.
So, this job is for research
until we start filming.
But it's been delayed
twice now.
Who knows, it probably
won't even happen.
But I kept the job.
I think I do better
with the routine.
It's close by,
and Raven needs a good deal
of quiet space
while she's recording.
I was very impressed
by the spicy ramen challenge.
That's totally fake.
Really?
Yeah.
She sets aside one noodle
that's safe to snort.
It's pretty seamless,
I'll give her that.
Goddamn.
I was--I was convinced.
And she keeps bugging me
to start my own channel,
but honestly,
I think it takes a certain
type of person to do that.
I don't think that's for me.
Well,
maybe that's not a bad thing.
Who am I to judge?
I'm the one living rent-free
because of my little sister's
face-cramming empire.
How did you find out
about Tanner?
He came to me in my dream.
Next morning
when I woke up,
I just felt like something
happened to him.
Come on, really?
Yeah, really.
I didn't know for sure
until I saw
your Facebook post.
I may have glanced
at your profile
from time to time.
Anyway,
I wrote it down on my journal
the day after I had my dream,
July 13th.
Shut up. He died on the 12th.
And nobody online
knew for a week after.
Oh, that's something.
Well, I wish he would come
to me in my dreams.
I'm so jealous.
I talked about him
on my last AA meeting.
How much of a licker he was,
how he'd always have to kiss
my face to wake me up.
I don't remember that.
It was mostly when I was
blacked out on the couch,
not while
we were asleep in bed.
Maybe he was trying to say,
"Hey, get up,
get your shit together, man."
So, how's Maggie?
She's well.
She has a boyfriend, Nate.
I don't know if you knew.
No. She's done
a remarkable job
of keeping me
out of her life.
Can you blame her?
So you guys got my emails?
We weren't ready to respond.
You mean Maggie wasn't ready?
Hey, it's okay. But, uh,
I gotta try, you know.
It's all part of the process.
So we're just one
of your 12 steps?
No. Uh, I mean, yes,
but I've wanted to apologize
to you both
for a long time now.
Maggie's going to Melbourne
for a few months.
Nate's Australian.
I'm dreading it.
I'm not ready
to have her so far away.
Want a ride?
Nah. I'm close, I'll walk.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
Yeah.
Get it.
All right. Here I go.
You ran away
to find something to say
I went astray
to make it okay
And he made it easy,
darlin'
I'm still in love
and I say that because
I know it seems
between you and me
It hasn't been easy,
darlin'
Hey, hey.
I can't even look at you
Would you look at the space
just next to your feet?
The wood is warping
The lines distorting
This house
is on fire, woo!
Burning the tears
right off my face
What the hell did we do?
Tell me
we'll make it through
You got it.
'Cause he made it easy...
Oh.
Thanks, Maggie, thanks, Nate.
I've been meaning
to get this.
Oh.
Hey, check the front,
it's, uh, autographed
by the photographer.
Oh, boy, yes, it is.
Isn't that nice? Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-It's gonna go perfectly
with Bob
and Julio's fleshlight.
Yeah!
Send us videos, will you?
When you break it in?
Have we met?
Uh, oh, Emma,
this is, uh, Bob and Julio.
Hi.
Hi, Julio.
Oh. Actually, I'm Julio.
He's Bob.
Oh, shit. I'm sorry.
It happens all the time.
Okay.
-That's mine!
-Ah.
Better not be more
Timmons closed-out shit.
Sounds like some
Timmons closed-out shit.
Oh. When was this taken?
Memorial Day, 2007.
We had that picnic
on the beach, remember?
You and Craig,
and me and Andy and Maggie?
I don't remember.
What?
It's, uh--
it's very nice.
Thank you.
Show us.
Um...
Oh.
-Oh, that's beautiful.
-Oh, that's lovely.
Is that you on the right?
Yeah. Yeah.
And who's next to you?
Uh, that's Craig. He, uh--
he passed away
a couple years ago.
Oh. I'm sorry.
So sorry.
There's also a gift card
at the bottom of the bag.
Oh, so more Timmons.
Okay. Thank you. Thanks.
Can I get a volunteer
to sing the other part
of the song?
Stanley, you know this one.
Okay. Um, anybody?
Anybody?
I've always
wanted to be Cher.
Oh, perfect, Julio.
Okay.
Then I get to sing
the man part.
Okay.
Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside
we've known
We'd be back
to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss
was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step
I take retreats
Every journey always
brings me back to you
- Bye, Stan.
- Oh, thanks for coming.
You think we would've
missed the party of the year?
- Thank you.
- Happy birthday.
Mom. Should we take you home?
It's okay. I got her.
It's on my way.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-I could get myself home--
-No. Oh, God.
Because your boyfriend
has not quit smoking!
Only when he drinks, Mom.
Like that's better?
It's not like I'm pregnant,
Mom.
Just ignore her,
she's being an ass.
Like, I'm being ass?
He's taking Maggie
away from us.
Twenty hours on a plane!
It's more like 16 hours.
Emma, Emma, stop.
And I'm not taking her
away from you, Ms. Gwon.
-I never meant to--
-Meant to what?
Give her cancer?
-Nate, get in the car.
-Okay.
Let's go, Emma!
What's going on with you
and Bob and Julio?
I smell a three-way.
How much did you have tonight?
You don't usually
drink this much.
They told me that you
sold them their house.
They're the dick pic dudes?
You're just now
putting that together?
She was so distant tonight.
Who was?
-Maggie.
-Maggie...
I can't believe
she's going overseas
for five months.
She used to be afraid
to fly and she meets Nate.
Now, she wants to get
the fuck out of town.
I should be happy for her.
She's really going for it.
Uh-hmm.
We don't talk like we used to.
She barely came to see
Tanner near the end.
Not that I blame her.
I mean, she has her own life.
It's just that,
time just whooshes right by.
Uh-hmm.
Not now, though.
It's taking forever right now.
Did you know that "After All"
was my song with Andy?
I did.
It was from our second date.
We went to go see
the movie that it's from.
Oh, God.
What was it called?
It starred,
um, Robert Downey Jr.
and, um, Cybill Shepherd!
I fucking love
Cybill Shepherd!
Did you and Craig
have a song?
I don't--
I don't think we did.
No, you did, you did,
you--because, um,
it was super obscure
and I cannot remember--
oh, oh.
Does alcohol make you senile?
Emma, I'm gonna very gently
yet firmly kick you
out now, okay?
Okay. But you have
to text me and tell me
to pick up my car
because I don't wanna wake up
and think it got stolen.
Oh, honey.
No one's stealing that car.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Bye. Happy birthday!
-Oh, thank you, thank you.
Thanks for coming.
- Do you need help?
- No.
I can--
I can come around.
- No.
- No? Okay.
Tanner?
There you are, boy.
Hi, boy.
Hi, Tanner.
There's no name,
just a number.
It's A319703.
319793?
Oh, yeah.
The name's Angus.
We still have him.
Oh. Well, he doesn't
look like an Angus.
You're allowed
to change it.
Well, I, um--I thought
I would just come out there.
I don't live too far.
It's only like eight
and a half hours.
Oh, you're not
from around here?
No, but I don't mind driving.
What if you change
your mind?
I won't. He's perfect.
A note here says
he's due for a surgery.
- Oh, really?
- Hmm, torn hind leg.
There's an order
to amputate.
It's nothing, really.
Dogs are resilient.
We'll call you
when he's ready.
Uh, yeah.
He's also
heartworm positive.
Don't think that was
listed in his description.
What's your name and number?
Ma'am?
Sal, no. Quiet.
Quit barking.
Shush, shush, shush.
Sal. Shush.
Coming.
He just went potty.
Yeah, good boy.
Good potty.
I never would've guessed
you were churchgoer,
but I guess we don't
talk about that at work.
Yeah. Well,
my faith is a personal thing
and I didn't know
that you had a dog.
And I didn't know you foster
until Phillip told me.
I once had four dogs
at the same time
if you can believe it.
Four?
It was madness,
but totally worth it.
You know, when you find them
their forever home.
So what do you think of Sal?
I don't know if he likes me.
Oh, you'd know
if he didn't like you.
I think
he's falling for you.
So what happened to Tanner?
They found tumors
in his liver.
It was well past chemo.
The vet said he would only
live for a few weeks,
but he actually hung on
for months.
-We had good days mostly.
-Hmm.
My Zoey,
I had her for 13 years.
She was the best,
sweetest Dalmatian.
I foster because I can't
bring myself to adopt.
She was the love of my life.
Remember only dry food
twice a day
and the cheap stuff
gives him diarrhea,
so I will email you a list
of recommendations.
And then, in here, we've got
treats and all of his toys,
there's poop bags, um, that
thing folds up really nicely,
so, uh, you might wanna
crate him for at least
three to seven days, you know,
put a little water in there,
maybe some wee pads if you
don't have any of those.
Is this too much?
-No, it's fine.
-Oh, my God. I'm sorry.
I feel like
I'm forcing him on you.
No, it's like
he's rescuing me.
Oh, baby.
Can I write you a check
for the rescue place?
Oh, no. Let's just
wait until you decide
if you wanna keep him.
Saying goodbye is so hard.
He's the sweetest boy.
I love this one so much.
Sal is my favorite.
Damn it! Sal!
No. Drop it.
Sal. No.
I don't think
this is working out.
He's just
settling in.
Are you training him?
Yeah. I mean--but he's
just--can you hear him?
He's barking,
barking, barking.
He just poos and pees
everywhere.
I take him on lots of walks,
but he just--
How can something
that small can poo so much?
He even shit in my shower!
Well,
excessive defecation,
especially indoors,
is usually a sign of anger.
Anger? What does
he have to be angry about?
Well, your tone
isn't the most tranquil,
you know, and he's sensitive.
Have you tried
an anxiety vest?
Are you suggesting that my
voice is causing him to shit?
Okay. Okay. Come on.
Good boy.
You're my first return,
you know.
I feel like such a failure.
No, Emma.
I keep on thinking about
having to go through
all this again.
I think I waited
too long with Tanner.
I think I prolonged
his suffering.
No.
I was gonna
put him down that day.
I made an appointment.
I had it all planned out.
Nuggets, ice cream,
a long walk,
the last game of fetch,
but it's like he knew.
He didn't wanna die
at the vet.
He woke me up
at the crack of dawn.
He waited just so he could
say goodbye to me.
It was like
he was asking permission
to be let go.
I can't let go.
Okay.
I learned this
exercise when Zoey died.
I think it might help.
Okay. Lay down
and then turn on your side.
Okay.
Okay if I put my hand here?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
So close your eyes and relax.
Breathe in through your nose,
out through your mouth.
Slowly.
Deeper breaths.
I speak to Zoey.
She can hear me.
Once, she even showed up.
What?
Yeah.
I was cooking breakfast
and I caught her
out of the corner of my eye
for just a split second.
She was there watching me
from across the kitchen.
I think she wanted me
to know that she was okay.
My grandma used to say that
once they know they're yours,
they'll always be with you
even when their gone,
they'll find a way, to let you
know that they're still here.
My neighbor Tom told me
to scatter Tanner's ashes
at his favorite place.
That that's where
he would wanna be.
And then he would be free
to roam and look for me.
Well, I don't know about that.
But I do know that it's
important for you to tell him
how you feel about him
so that he can hear you.
So go ahead, Emma,
tell him how you feel.
Tanner, it's mommy.
Can you do me a favor, buddy?
If you can find your way...
give me a sign.
Something real.
Just so I know
I'm not going crazy.
You could whine...
like you did when you wanted
me throw your ball...
or bark like you did
when you dreamed...
or scratch at the door...
like you wanted me
to let you in...
or just show up.
I would really love
to see you...
even if it's only
for a moment.
Yes, we'll have the roti prata
and ayam satay to start
and we'll also share
the beef rendang,
char kway teow, laksa mee,
and nasi lemak,
and can we get a side
of sambal too please?
Look at you! Ordering
like a real Singaporean.
Of course, lah.
Lived there so long already.
You look terrific, Emma.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm having
multiple foodgasms.
I didn't oversell it, right?
No. You know what?
Get out your phone,
film me inhaling all of this
because we're gonna start
a fucking channel right now.
Look out Raven,
here comes Emma.
Thank you.
We had Maggie so young
and you weren't ready.
I was so driven by my career
and you had to give up
Juilliard to stay
at home with Maggie.
That must have been hard.
Thanks for saying that.
It's weird. I'm so nervous
about acting now.
It's like I'm starting
all over again,
especially having been
gone for so long.
But you were
the star of Singapore's
number one soap opera.
Co-star and it was
number three actually.
Wait, you've seen it?
Just some clips online.
Don't get a big head.
Please, that show
got me typecast.
You play a villain
for eight seasons,
no one can see you
as anything else.
Uh, I fucking hate
when I sound like this.
Like what?
An annoying actor?
A fucking annoying
character actor.
Anyway, who cares?
What's most important
now is my sobriety,
just got to stay on track.
I don't blame you anymore
for everything that happened.
I get these flashes of Tanner
when he was younger
and it takes me right back
to what was happening
between us then.
I'm just observing
and it feels like
what it must have been like
for Tanner
just watching over us.
And it takes away
all of the awfulness
and the resentment.
Does that make sense?
Sort of. Yeah.
I can see it
from your side now.
The way things
soured between us.
It doesn't mean
you're off the hook.
But I've had a lot of time
to think about everything.
Do you ever think
about seeing Maggie?
All the time.
Is now a bad time?
No, not at all.
Um, so this
came out of the blue.
It's completely unexpected.
Australia fell into the ocean?
They're banning Americans?
Mom, stop.
Uh, Nate was offered a job.
Yeah, he was head hunted
by this design firm
in Melbourne
who saw his portfolio
and they jumped on it.
It pays really well.
Oh, honey.
Long distance relationships
can be really hard.
What? No.
Uh, I'm trying
to tell you that
I'm gonna play it by ear.
If I like it there, I'll stay.
What? You're moving
to Australia?
No. No, Mom.
I'm just--
um, I'm just not
setting any parameters
for when I come back.
Yeah, that's called moving.
It's not like
a set thing.
If it doesn't work out,
I'll just come back.
But, um, since Nate
accepted their offer,
we have to leave earlier
on the 27th.
What did you say?
That's just two weeks away.
So you're just gonna
drop everything
to move to Australia for him?
What about your life,
your career?
I want this, Mom, okay?
Well, I'm glad
you took the time
to think that through.
I did.
Sadie is hosting a going away
party for us this weekend
and I really want you there,
but you have to promise
not to be weird
and, um, Stan is coming.
You already told him?
Yeah.
Before me?
How long have you
known about Maggie?
Like literally a day.
Jesus, don't change
the subject.
What the hell
were you thinking?
I should've kept
my mouth shut.
I don't understand
why you'd see Andy.
Just because he sent
you a card?
We were just catching up.
It's not a big deal.
Just catching up, like
old pals.
Have you conveniently forgot
what he did to you guys?
It's a long time ago.
People change.
Not that much.
What happens when
he falls off the wagon?
I think it's gonna be
different this time.
I've heard
that before. Multiple times.
Recovery is a process, Stan.
What are you, his sponsor now?
You're not getting back
together with him are you?
Give me a break.
Is that why
I haven't seen you lately?
Because you've been with him?
I can't do this. I can't.
Don't hold back for my sake.
I won't be around when the
shit hits the fan this time.
Are you mad about the present?
God, that is such a fucking
false equivalency.
I knew you were mad.
I was gonna ask you about it.
Okay. You want to go there?
But sure,
let's fucking go there.
Um, I'm gonna start
with the positive
as I'm not a bitch.
The gift card, that was great.
Who doesn't love a gift card?
Um, the photo
on the other hand,
even Maggie cringed.
I mean, what's up with you
and old photos anyways?
They're plastered
all over your fucking house.
And then, you have to drag me
into your sappy
sentimental hell too?
It's not sappy!
I found that when
I was cleaning the attic.
It touched me
and I just thought that
you would want a memento
of how things used to be.
Why would I want that?
I've moved on,
what we're all supposed to do.
Well, When you said
that you were going
to Bear Week
in Provincetown,
I was like,
"Oh, that's weird,"
because you used to say
that labels were tribalism,
but now,
you're all scruffed up.
You got some butch drag,
and suddenly
you're in a throuple.
I am not in a throuple.
I'm hanging out
with a couple.
There is a difference.
And even if I was throupling,
I don't need
your fucking approval.
And how dare you
say butch drag!
If Craig was here,
he would've bust a gut.
Well, he's not fucking here
because he died!
Stan, I didn't mean--
We can't go back, Emma. Okay?
It is so fucked up
that you're seeing Andy.
It's played out.
And what's Maggie gonna think
when she finds out?
Have you even
thought about that?
You actually think
I've forgotten Craig?
I think about him
every fucking day.
Do you wanna know
what it's like
to be with someone
who isn't a selfish alcoholic?
His dying wish was that
I would meet someone else.
That's what he wanted,
for me to, uh, keep going.
I--I'm self-aware, you know.
I see how I must look.
I--but maybe
this is just a phase.
Maybe this is just me
figuring things out.
But why should you,
of all people,
give me so much shit about it?
Stan, I just--Stan, come on.
Stan.
Hmm, that was not good.
I hit a nerve.
It's not like you two
haven't fought before.
We're like this
old married couple
always taking digs
at each other.
But this was real bad.
He'll get over it.
You remember that time
you didn't speak to each other
for a month
because Craig was insulted
you wouldn't get them
something from Timmons
with your employee discount?
I did that?
Yeah.
Huh.
Did I get you this?
Well, yeah, I guess you did.
Hmm.
Still fits.
So if you were still
with Cynthia in Singapore,
would you have even
sent me that card?
I would've sent you that card.
I thought you wanted me
to stay away.
You and Maggie.
She would ask about you
from time to time,
over the holidays
or when we were with kids
with their dads.
It grew less and less
over the years
as she got older.
I didn't know that.
One time
she thought she saw you
in a shampoo ad
in a magazine.
She swore up and down
that was you.
She insisted
that we look it up.
When she found out
it wasn't you...
it devastated her.
She got really guarded
after that.
Stuff like that
made it really hard
not to hate you.
I kept telling myself
that the booze
is what distanced you from us.
Made it seem
like you weren't there.
But it was worse
when you were there.
Like that time you
picked up Maggie from school
and you were drunk.
That's when I knew
that you and I were done...
because if anything
had happened to her...
I would've never
been able to forgive you.
I'm sorry, Emma.
I'm really sorry.
Hey, before you go.
We had that made for him
when we first adopted him.
He was just a little baby,
remember?
Somehow it ended up with me,
but you should keep it.
You were always
his number one.
Thanks.
Go get your ball
Go get your ball
Go get your big ass ball
Big ass ball
Big ass ball
Go get your big ass ball
I've sang that song to him
until the day he died.
I still sing it sometimes.
-You made it up.
-Uh-hmm.
I'd catch myself singing it
from time to time.
Like some terrible song you
can't get out of your head.
Cynthia was always like,
"Stop that shit, lah!"
But somehow it relaxes me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Is Stan gonna tell Maggie?
I don't know.
Remind me why you
told him again?
I can't keep
anything from him.
If he tells Maggie about us...
I'll deal with him.
And if he doesn't,
would you tell Maggie?
What would I even say?
That we're back together?
That we're just hanging out?
Okay.
I won't tell her.
She's leaving anyway.
She doesn't need the baggage.
- Hi.
- Oh, shit.
Sorry. Um, sorry.
I thought
you're back tomorrow?
Yeah, my car was making
this horrific sound,
so I brought it back
to take to the shop.
- How's camping?
- Good.
Better once
the mushrooms kicked in.
Oh, I just uploaded
the video online
if you're curious.
Twenty hotdogs,
five bags of marshmallows.
It's the new
outdoor challenge.
Wow, can't wait.
Can we step outside?
Sure.
Um, let me just
put on some pants.
I know you must find it weird,
Andy living here.
You know, we don't talk
to our other siblings,
but Andy and I get each other.
We both sought out
unstable careers.
My dad still
refuses to believe
Ravenous is my actual day job,
said that I blew my MBA.
Not Andy.
He's always been supportive.
That's why I'm starting
to feel conflicted now.
What do you mean?
What Andy did to you
and Maggie, it's awful.
I thought it was a good idea
for you two to meet
and clear the air.
I just didn't expect you
to be seeing each other again.
He's different now.
Don't you think?
I do, because he's finally
willing to work on himself.
I'm not saying
you're causing problems.
I mean, I haven't seen him
legit happy in a while,
but I do know that
in the program
they talk about triggers
and I wouldn't want him
revisiting his past
to cause him to drink again.
You follow?
I don't think he has
another relapse in him.
Hey.
Hey.
You leaving? I thought
we could grab a bite.
I know this
great Brazilian place.
I'm gonna head out.
I have to go get ready
for Maggie's going away party.
It's kind of a drive.
I need to go home and change.
Yeah, right.
You mentioned this.
I got a meeting
I can go to anyway.
I'll call you.
I've been working
on the accent
but it's like really hard,
you know?
They kind of-- huh?
I'll be right back.
Hi, Mom,
beginning to wonder
if you'd make it.
I got a late start.
This place is nice.
Whose is it?
Sadie's parents.
It's a timeshare.
The credenza
by the front door,
it's one of ours.
I actually helped name it.
It's called the Echelon.
Cool. Remember, Mom,
don't be weird.
Get me a drink.
I want whatever you're having.
Is, uh, something up with you
and Stan, by the way?
He's also being weird.
Kept asking
when you were coming.
Hello, don't you guys text?
Oh, boy.
Oh, you guys are fighting.
That's cute.
Actually, get me
a double vodka tonic.
Hey. Hey.
Go easy on Nate.
You're stressing him out.
He should be stressed out
about the secondhand smoke.
I am serious, Mom.
Hi, Ms. Gwon.
Glad you came.
Hi.
How's the drive?
So long,
kind of like
flying overseas.
Well, guess what?
Back on the patch.
Third time's a charm.
No cancer-ridden daughters
on my watch.
Ms. Gwon, I know
what you're thinking.
But I don't want you
to think of us leaving as--
Nate, congratulations
on your job,
but let's not do this now.
I know this
hasn't been easy for you.
Which is normal.
Maybe I'll come around
to it eventually.
Okay.
How long do you think for you
to come around, like ballpark?
Ask me again in 20 years.
Hi.
I just wanted
to say thank you,
uh, to everyone
for coming out.
This isn't really a farewell
or a send-off
or any of that sad shit.
As we've learned,
we're all just
a video call away.
For Nate and I,
this is the start
of a new adventure.
I mean, it's his homeland,
so it's more so for me.
Uh, but we promise
to come back
as often as possible.
And you're all welcome
to come stay with us
in Melbourne
in the kangaroo pen.
-Hmm, no.
-Nailed it.
Uh, shout out to
the bad bitch herself, Sadie,
my bestest bestie since
way the fuck back in pre-K.
Thank you for hosting us
in this insane house
I love you forever, girl.
Finally, I wanna acknowledge
two very special people
in my life,
my mom, Emma,
and my godfather, Stan.
They've been lifelong friends
and it's no exaggeration
to say
that I am who I am today
because of them,
the good and the bad,
mostly the good, mostly.
We went through a rough patch
when I was growing up,
but Stan was always there.
And having you both
meant I never missed out
on having a complete family.
So thank you.
And I love you both very much.
I love you.
And now a toast
to the one family member
who couldn't be here...
Tanner.
The best dog
anyone could ever hope for.
He was a rescue pup,
and I don't really remember
a time without him.
He crossed the Rainbow Bridge
not too long ago.
He will live in our hearts
forever though.
To Tanner!
To Tanner!
To Tanner.
Hey, um,
you waiting Ms. Gwon?
Yeah. Somebody's taking
a really long time in there.
Oh, okay.
Well, hey, I'm George,
Sadie's boyfriend.
Oh, hi, George.
Nice to meet you.
-Call me Emma.
-Nice to meet you.
Oh, everything
come out all right?
-How's it going?
-It's going.
I'm trying here, dude.
I can tell.
What do you want me to say?
I don't know.
Maybe, "I'm sorry"?
Hey, y'all mind if I...
Oh, go ahead. Sorry.
Technically,
we're both at fault.
You haven't seen Andy
in forever.
You have no right
to judge him.
Okay. Well,
I beg to differ.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
-We're done here.
-Oh, seriously,
we're doing this again?
Come on.
I feel like there are
a ton of opportunities
in Australia, right?
We can kind of do whatever.
Is everything
okay out there?
I need a little space, okay?
I'm asking for a little space.
- Okay.
- Well, just give me--
Well, here's the space.
This is enough space.
Yo, I don't
mean to eavesdrop.
What?
Okay. This is not the time
or the place for this.
This is a party
and it's not about you.
What the hell, guys?
You're freaking people out.
Honey, is there
no more food left?
I'm starving.
Yeah, we just
ordered some pizza.
Your mother's stalling.
Stan.
She has something
to tell you.
Is this about dad?
Did you fucking tell her?
I didn't say shit.
George heard you guys.
-Who's George?
-Fucking George.
- Bathroom snitch.
- Guys?
What's the deal with Dad?
He's back in town.
Okay. Um,
have you talked to him?
For starters.
Stay out of it.
What did he mean,
"for starters"?
Mom?
We've been hanging out.
The hell does that mean?
What do you think it means?
Oh, for fuck's sake.
How many times?
How many times what?
Did you guys hang out?
Maggie, that's none of your--
once, just once.
Hmm.
Were you even gonna tell me?
Yes, but there was
never a good time.
A good time?
I leave in a week.
See?
So what?
You guys dating now?
No.
Truthfully, I don't know
what we're doing.
Well, he abandoned us, Mom.
And we moved on.
It took us years,
but we fucking did it!
Yeah, but you would say that
you missed him sometimes.
I got over it, Mom.
We weren't enough for him.
So he's not enough for me.
Don't you have
any self-respect?
Hey, don't,
that's not fair.
She's right.
But I know he's trying.
And we both made mistakes.
Oh, goddammit, Mom.
And I know that
it would mean a lot to him
if you would see him
before you go.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Well, um, you know what?
I think--I think
I want you to leave,
both of you.
Me? What did I do?
Maggie, calm down.
-We can just go inside.
-Just go. Now.
Oh, I didn't pee.
Fucking hell.
Stan, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I said all
those shitty things.
I'm sorry for being
such a terrible friend.
I'm just--I'm really
fucking lost right now.
And I need your help
to get through it.
Are you going home tonight?
Uh, no.
I got a hotel room nearby.
I left my purse at Andy's
and I'm running low on gas.
See, this is what happens
when you're dickmatized.
All right, come on.
Oh, and I have to pee.
Just, um--
I'm gonna go in those bushes.
-Keep watch.
-No, stop.
Come, uh, really girl? You--
- I'm gonna burst.
- You can't hold it?
I'm gonna burst!
Oh, Jesus.
Okay.
- Make it fast.
- Don't look at me.
Look at the door.
What the fuck?
Did she just take a piss?
Do not tell Sadie.
Why didn't you
just let her use the loo?
She didn't say.
What?
You wanna talk about it?
I heard what happened.
Not right now, babe.
Hey, and for what it's worth,
you know, my prick for a dad
left us too,
but, well, if I had a chance
to see him again,
I'd consider it.
Why?
Well, I wanna believe
people do change.
It's just like,
I wanna believe
your mom's gonna accept me.
If my dad wants to be
in my life again,
I'd like to know that.
I dropped a pin.
Tell him to be at this diner
8:00 AM sharp.
He's got until 8:05.
Not a minute more.
Sounds like
a sting operation.
Where's the diner?
Around here.
Oh, God. Why so early?
It's a trap.
She knows that
Andy won't make it
or he'll be late,
especially with the drive.
Well, you know,
if he wants to see her.
Damn it, Maggie,
girl certainly knows
how to make things difficult.
I wonder
where she got that from.
Okay. Well, I'm gonna go
get us something to eat.
Hey, she's less mad at you.
Can't you ask her to meet Andy
at a halfway point?
Hell no. I'm not
getting dragged into this.
Don't you get it?
This needs to be on her terms.
Yeah. So I just stood
out there for a while...
and then I called
my sponsor.
Emma, I'm only
telling you this
because I don't want
there to be any more lies
between us, okay?
So you didn't make it to AA?
No.
But you went to a bar.
But I didn't go in, okay?
I swear. I fought it.
I believed you
for the longest time,
but you got so good
at hiding it.
I just couldn't tell anymore.
I still can't.
When you left this morning,
were you ashamed?
Of what?
Of me.
Of what we did.
No, I wasn't ashamed.
Yeah.
Well, I felt it regardless.
Oh, so I'm responsible
for your relapse?
I didn't relapse, Jesus.
What about tomorrow?
You're positive?
She wants this?
She told you that?
It was her idea.
Look, I'll leave here early
and I'll pick you up at 6:00.
That should give us
enough time.
You don't think
I can make it on my own?
It's far, Andy. Isn't Raven's
car getting fixed?
Yes. I'll figure it out.
I'll give you a ride.
I don't mind.
Emma,
let me figure this out
myself, okay?
I won't fuck this up.
It's not that.
I just wanna help.
You don't wanna
let her down again.
I won't let her down, okay?
Now stop treating me like
I don't have my shit together!
So yeah, things got out
of hand with Bob and Julio.
Bob is the one who wanted
an open relationship,
but Julio started
seeing me without Bob.
And Bob got upset.
So I had to get
the heck out of Dodge.
-Drama.
-Yeah.
On the flip side I, uh,
started seeing this Filipino.
Yes, Asian!
He's so adorable,
but he wanted
to take things slow,
which was nice for a change.
Um, and we went
out a few times.
And then he said
he wanted to go to Maggie's
with me tonight
and spend the night here.
And then he ghosted me,
so I don't know
what the fuck happened.
No.
Yeah.
It, kind of, sucked.
I haven't posted
anything lately.
I'm just--
I'm just so sick of it.
All these guys online,
I just feel like they want
to jerk off at home, you know?
I don't love the idea
of you getting back
together with Andy...
but I'm willing to give him
another shot if you are.
Thanks.
I really thought
we could start over,
but I don't know anymore.
Do you--do you still talk
in your sleep?
I don't talk
in my sleep.
We were roommates
for years.
You talk in your sleep.
It's okay.
I have earplugs
just in case.
You have earplugs
on hand?
Craig would snore
like a Mack truck.
So I just--I got used
to sleeping with them.
Next Thursday's
my anniversary with Craig.
How many years?
What?
-Earplugs.
-Oh.
How many years
next Thursday?
Oh, 25.
We, um...
we always had
ice cream cake to celebrate.
He had such a sweet tooth,
even at the end.
I told you about
the Pop-Tarts, right?
No.
It was his last night
in the hospital
and he had a taste
for Pop-Tarts,
blueberry flavor.
And I could
only find strawberry
in the vending machine.
So, when I came back
to the room,
he had already passed.
I was only gone a few minutes.
I still have those Pop-Tarts.
I don't know
what I would've done
without you guys
when Andy left.
I was inconsolable
when Craig died.
You were there
for me too.
Oh, you know,
I think I remember it now.
Your song with Craig.
True love
will find you in the end
You'll find out
just who was your friend
Don't be sad
I know you will
Don't give up until
True love
will find you in the end
This is a promise
with a catch
Only if you're looking
can it find you
True love
is searching too
How can I recognize you
Unless you step out
into the light, the light
Don't be sad
I know you will
Don't give up until
True love will find you
in the end
Shit.
Sit anywhere.
I'll be right with you.
Thanks.
You late motherfucker.
Where the fuck is he?
Oh, I knew it.
Fucking bullshit.
You just had
to make sure I made it, huh?
Oh.
"ARE YOU CLOSE???" All caps,
three question marks.
Wow.
One would've been
sufficient, Em.
I just thought--
never mind.
Yeah.
I got here
half an hour ago, lady.
Thanks.
Charge a couple
of mimosas to your card.
Hope that's cool.
That's not funny.
Okay.
Maggie should be here soon.
And once she gets here,
I'm gonna leave.
All right.
What can I get you to drink?
Just water, please.
Thank you.
- You need a refill?
- Yes, please.
Hi, Maggie.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, sweetie.
We're gonna need a few minutes
before we order.
Oh, take your time.
-You need anything?
-I'm good. Thank you.
Okay. Great.
So, I'm gonna leave.
No.
You're staying.
I think that would be nice.
-What's good here--
-You look so grown up.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
No, after you.
I heard both of you.
You gonna say something
or are you just gonna
ignore me like you did--
Maggie.
No. It's okay.
I'm just so happy to see you.
I thought--uh,
I thought you may never
wanna see me again,
so, thank you for doing this.
You think this is all it takes
to make up for what you did?
Maggie, it's okay.
No, Mom, it's not.
I'm doing this for you.
Not him.
I don't need the guilt
of not wanting to see him
after he
skipped out on us.
There's no guilt, really.
And you're absolutely right.
I did skip out on you...
the both of you.
And I'm sorry, Maggie.
I'm really--I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
You know what?
I'm gonna go.
Maggie, wait.
I have an idea.
Just hear me out.
I'm so sorry I wasn't
more upfront with you.
I've been such a mess
since Tanner died.
We don't have to say anything
to each other right now.
We can just sit and eat.
If you still wanna leave,
I won't stop you.
The offer still stands.
I'd love to take you
and Nate to the airport.
No, Mom, let's not.
LAX is a mess,
but we'll have dinner
before I go.
Just you and me.
Okay.
So, uh,
good luck in Melbourne.
I think
it's really exciting.
Thanks.
Good luck to you too.
Dad...
uh, I owe you an email.
You don't owe me anything.
You're right.
But I'm still gonna try
to write you back
once I'm settled.
I'd really like that.
Thank you.
I'm sorry
for not trusting you.
It's gonna take
some time, Em.
I need to work
on what it means
to be a better ex-wife.
We, kind of,
skipped that part.
Okay.
I guess it's only fair
I should work
on being
a better ex-husband too.
I meant to tell you.
The film is happening.
We start shooting
next month.
Whoa. Congrats.
You're gonna be
Rich White!
Yeah.
And I need to focus
on doing my work.
I don't wanna let anyone
down anymore.
You won't.
You'll be great.
Thank you, Emma.
I'll see you at Christmas.
Really?
I'll come out there.
Take care
of my baby girl.
Is this Dom?
Dom Wilcox?
Hi. How are you?
It's Emma Gwon.
Oh.
That's great to hear. Wow.
I won't bring him
back again, I promise.
Oh. Aw.
Look at his tail.
Good night, Sal.
Go get your ball
Go get your ball
Go get your big ass ball
Big ass ball
Big ass ball
Go get your big ass ball
Tanner...
you can go.
It's okay.
Mommy's here.
I'll be okay.
I love you so much, boy.
My baby boy.
Hey, how you holding up?
Okay.
Pretty cool, huh?
I still don't think
this is a good idea.
Oh, shut up.
I always wear a good helmet.
Are you still up for it?
We don't have to or anything.
I just thought
since we're here...
I already found a spot.
Give me your phone.
How's this?
Fine.
I don't want fine.
I want sexy motherfucker,
all right?
Come on. Perk up.
Have some energy
for me please?
If we're doing this,
we're doing this.
- Okay.
- Tell me what to do.
So, just, um,
put your head back
a little bit
so it hits the light.
How's this?
-Nice.
-All right. Keep going.
I want options.
So that looks good.
Now, just, you know,
just give it to me.
-How about that?
-Oh, good. That's good.
Wait, wait,
these have to be--
they have to be cute though,
right?
I don't wanna look like
I'm messing around.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Yeah.
-What if I...
-Oh, hot. Hot.
-Yeah?
Hot. All right.
Try sitting on the bike.
-Get on the bike.
-Okay.
Good.
So, look off
and don't look at me.
Yeah, that's great.
I would fuck him.
Yes.
No.
No.
Oh, God.
Uh...
Hey, look.
Best one, right?
Oh, the midlife crisis
is really coming through
on that one.
This is the first time
I'm here without him.
I'm gonna need a minute.
Yeah.
You don't have
to do this, Emma.
You can keep them.
Really?
But my neighbor said--
Oh, come on.
You barely talk to that guy.
You're really gonna take
his advice
on where to leave
Tanner's ashes?
...of what you want
the room to feel like.
Various colors
evoke different emotions
and convey
unique personality--
Fuck.
- Oh, fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
- So...
No. Oh, fuck.
K11 is in second proofs.
Oh, and they added two alt
covers for you to approve.
Okay.
And the buyers are going
to present the merch
for L12 this Friday.
Thanks, Lynn.
Just one more thing.
I got H9 in the mail.
Who copyedited that?
Uh, that would be Brian.
Brian.
Where's Brian, Phillip?
Uh, he has
a doctor's appointment.
Hmm. Because I caught
at least six instances
of hand-painted
without the hyphens.
I know I sound
like a broken record
but we spell grey
with an E.
No exceptions.
Also the swatch order
didn't match the copy
with the fringed table linen
on page 29.
I've circled everything
in red.
I'll speak to Brian.
I can fix the digital--
I was training Brian.
I'm sorry. I, uh,
thought I checked his work.
I guess not.
I can handle this, Phillip.
Okay.
Well, happy Monday, everyone.
Got another email...
Mm.
...from dad.
Yeah. Uh, I got one too.
Should we write him back?
Mom, he's just making amends.
Good.
It's about freaking time.
But fuck his guilt.
It's been forever.
He lives in another country.
What's the point?
It's not like we're ever
gonna see him again.
You'll be back
before the holidays, right?
I thought we could go
on a road trip,
like we used to.
Yeah, about that.
Um, I think we're gonna stay
in Australia
a little longer.
How much longer?
Five months.
Five--instead of five weeks?
Mom, Nate hasn't seen
his family in ages.
And he wants
to show me around.
He has friends in Sydney,
in Brisbane,
and we're gonna go
to New Zealand,
maybe check out Thailand.
What about your job?
I put in my notice.
Couldn't we have
discussed this?
I discussed it with Nate.
Mom, we saved up for this.
I can still freelance
as an illustrator.
I'll be fine.
Hey. What if you visited us
for the holidays, huh?
Twenty hours in coach.
Sounds like a nightmare.
You can afford business.
That's on you.
Oh, you're right.
It's better where it was.
I told you.
I do this for a living.
Okay. Right here?
Yeah, yeah,
this is good. Okay.
Yeah, it looks cute there.
-Perfect.
-Yes.
Oh, is this new too?
Um, yeah, I got it
at the same place
I got the console table.
We have this exact table.
I could've got it
for you for 20% off.
I never would've heard
the end of it.
Where's Craig's recliner
and armoire?
I sold them.
Okay.
You have so many likes.
When we do a post
for Timmons,
we get a 150 likes, max.
So pathetic.
I'm an Instagay, bitch.
Oh, get this.
I had this open house today.
And, um, this really
cute couple came in.
And then after they left,
they sent me their dick pics.
Do you wanna see?
Respectfully decline.
Hmm.
What is this?
This is a new mix by this
Instagay DJ I'm following.
It's banging, right?
Ugh, I thought
you hated this shit.
You're in a mood.
Ugh, the vet called.
The receptionist said
that I have an excess balance
of $38.
Can you imagine?
The nerve.
After all of the thousands
I've pumped into that place.
Oh. I ran into Dom Wilcox.
He says you still haven't
returned his call.
-Oh, no. Please do not...
-Huh.
...set me up with anybody.
The last one
was a total disaster.
And Dom Wilcox,
that name is so porny.
I can't stand it.
I love
how insanely porny it is.
No, no, Dom's great.
I've known him for years.
He's not gonna raid
your closet
and donate your clothes
like Eric did.
I know. Psychotic.
Who does that?
Well, you know, I mean,
some of those sweaters,
they had to go.
They're vintage.
Oh, shit.
Okay. Come on. Come on.
That beat's gonna drop.
Get your ass up. Come on.
Come on.
There you go. Yeah.
So give me
love tonight...
I know I should've
caught Brian's errors.
He's still new
and he's busting his ass.
- He'll get better.
- Uh-hmm.
I made my share of mistakes
when I first started too.
I'm sure you remember.
Look, we've downsized.
Everyone is wearing
20 different hats.
But Lynn and I
can review anything you need,
so please just utilize us.
Great. That's helpful.
Well, just to put it
out there,
if we get hit again,
I would like to volunteer
to be laid off.
I've heard that the severance
is actually pretty decent.
You've been with us
for what, 11 years?
Yes. And I'm so grateful
to have something so steady
and to learn so much from you
and the team
and the employee discount.
I have so many nice things.
Things I don't
really need but,
um, if I'm honest,
at the meeting when you were,
like, grey with an E,
I mean,
is this where we're at?
Back when I started, we were
known for our clever branding
and our snappy headlines
and our holiday catalogs.
They were collector's items.
You're not wrong.
This place has changed
since the merger.
I've been thinking
about what I should be doing
with the rest of my life.
And getting laid off
might push me
towards my calling.
- Your calling?
- Yes.
To better serve the Lord.
I've been volunteering
at my church
and they wanna create
a position for me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you were kidding.
Um, okay. Yeah,
I can't promise anything
but I'll talk to HR
if that's
what you really want.
Yeah. Thank you.
What's up, my Raveners?
It's your girl, Raven.
And today as always,
I'm Ravenous.
I'm gonna be taking down
12 packs of spicy ramen.
No drops of water,
no cheating, no edits.
That's right. And I'm gonna
up the challenge.
When I get to the last noodle
on my plate,
I'm gonna snort it
up my nose!
Okay. Here we are.
The moment
you've been waiting for.
What's your girl do?
Never break a promise.
Make sure to like
and subscribe.
Here we go, no turning back.
Okay. All right. Okay.
There's a first time
for everything.
That is up my brain.
Thanks for getting back.
It's been forever.
A decade, actually,
because, uh, you helped Andy
move out of my place.
Damn. You're right.
And you're famous now.
I saw your videos.
I don't know about famous.
You subscribed to my channel?
I--um, yes.
I'm about to hit a million.
Hook your sister up.
Or ex-sister-in-law.
And like some of my videos.
Anyway, the reason I called,
um, Andy sent me a card.
I don't know
if you remember our dog?
He just passed away.
Yeah, I heard.
You did?
I mean, I remember Tanner.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thanks.
It's kinda weird.
We haven't talked in a while.
And the card
was postmarked in the US,
and it had
your area's ZIP code.
Are you still
in North Hollywood?
Uh-huh.
So...
is Andy back from Singapore?
Why are you back?
Raven didn't say?
Cynthia and I divorced.
Oh. I didn't know.
Yeah. Three years ago.
And my show got canceled.
And then there was a DUI,
it was all over
the news there.
And I wasn't getting
any more work,
so I figured
I'd come back here
and start auditioning again.
I landed this indie.
It's called "Being Rich."
I play Rick Wong,
a grocery clerk who uncovers
the secret portal
in the freezer section
that leads
to this alternate reality
where he becomes Rich White,
who is--
Rich and White?
I guess that is a bit
on the nose, huh?
Oh, I was kidding.
I didn't...
Well, it's more
than that, right?
So he keeps flipping between
these alternate worlds
and these two identities
where he has to figure out
which one he'd rather be.
It's very hard
to be rich and White.
It actually is,
at least for this movie.
So, this job is for research
until we start filming.
But it's been delayed
twice now.
Who knows, it probably
won't even happen.
But I kept the job.
I think I do better
with the routine.
It's close by,
and Raven needs a good deal
of quiet space
while she's recording.
I was very impressed
by the spicy ramen challenge.
That's totally fake.
Really?
Yeah.
She sets aside one noodle
that's safe to snort.
It's pretty seamless,
I'll give her that.
Goddamn.
I was--I was convinced.
And she keeps bugging me
to start my own channel,
but honestly,
I think it takes a certain
type of person to do that.
I don't think that's for me.
Well,
maybe that's not a bad thing.
Who am I to judge?
I'm the one living rent-free
because of my little sister's
face-cramming empire.
How did you find out
about Tanner?
He came to me in my dream.
Next morning
when I woke up,
I just felt like something
happened to him.
Come on, really?
Yeah, really.
I didn't know for sure
until I saw
your Facebook post.
I may have glanced
at your profile
from time to time.
Anyway,
I wrote it down on my journal
the day after I had my dream,
July 13th.
Shut up. He died on the 12th.
And nobody online
knew for a week after.
Oh, that's something.
Well, I wish he would come
to me in my dreams.
I'm so jealous.
I talked about him
on my last AA meeting.
How much of a licker he was,
how he'd always have to kiss
my face to wake me up.
I don't remember that.
It was mostly when I was
blacked out on the couch,
not while
we were asleep in bed.
Maybe he was trying to say,
"Hey, get up,
get your shit together, man."
So, how's Maggie?
She's well.
She has a boyfriend, Nate.
I don't know if you knew.
No. She's done
a remarkable job
of keeping me
out of her life.
Can you blame her?
So you guys got my emails?
We weren't ready to respond.
You mean Maggie wasn't ready?
Hey, it's okay. But, uh,
I gotta try, you know.
It's all part of the process.
So we're just one
of your 12 steps?
No. Uh, I mean, yes,
but I've wanted to apologize
to you both
for a long time now.
Maggie's going to Melbourne
for a few months.
Nate's Australian.
I'm dreading it.
I'm not ready
to have her so far away.
Want a ride?
Nah. I'm close, I'll walk.
It's good to see you.
It's good to see you too.
Yeah.
Get it.
All right. Here I go.
You ran away
to find something to say
I went astray
to make it okay
And he made it easy,
darlin'
I'm still in love
and I say that because
I know it seems
between you and me
It hasn't been easy,
darlin'
Hey, hey.
I can't even look at you
Would you look at the space
just next to your feet?
The wood is warping
The lines distorting
This house
is on fire, woo!
Burning the tears
right off my face
What the hell did we do?
Tell me
we'll make it through
You got it.
'Cause he made it easy...
Oh.
Thanks, Maggie, thanks, Nate.
I've been meaning
to get this.
Oh.
Hey, check the front,
it's, uh, autographed
by the photographer.
Oh, boy, yes, it is.
Isn't that nice? Thank you.
-You're welcome.
-It's gonna go perfectly
with Bob
and Julio's fleshlight.
Yeah!
Send us videos, will you?
When you break it in?
Have we met?
Uh, oh, Emma,
this is, uh, Bob and Julio.
Hi.
Hi, Julio.
Oh. Actually, I'm Julio.
He's Bob.
Oh, shit. I'm sorry.
It happens all the time.
Okay.
-That's mine!
-Ah.
Better not be more
Timmons closed-out shit.
Sounds like some
Timmons closed-out shit.
Oh. When was this taken?
Memorial Day, 2007.
We had that picnic
on the beach, remember?
You and Craig,
and me and Andy and Maggie?
I don't remember.
What?
It's, uh--
it's very nice.
Thank you.
Show us.
Um...
Oh.
-Oh, that's beautiful.
-Oh, that's lovely.
Is that you on the right?
Yeah. Yeah.
And who's next to you?
Uh, that's Craig. He, uh--
he passed away
a couple years ago.
Oh. I'm sorry.
So sorry.
There's also a gift card
at the bottom of the bag.
Oh, so more Timmons.
Okay. Thank you. Thanks.
Can I get a volunteer
to sing the other part
of the song?
Stanley, you know this one.
Okay. Um, anybody?
Anybody?
I've always
wanted to be Cher.
Oh, perfect, Julio.
Okay.
Then I get to sing
the man part.
Okay.
Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside
we've known
We'd be back
to set things straight
I still remember when
Your kiss
was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step
I take retreats
Every journey always
brings me back to you
- Bye, Stan.
- Oh, thanks for coming.
You think we would've
missed the party of the year?
- Thank you.
- Happy birthday.
Mom. Should we take you home?
It's okay. I got her.
It's on my way.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
-I could get myself home--
-No. Oh, God.
Because your boyfriend
has not quit smoking!
Only when he drinks, Mom.
Like that's better?
It's not like I'm pregnant,
Mom.
Just ignore her,
she's being an ass.
Like, I'm being ass?
He's taking Maggie
away from us.
Twenty hours on a plane!
It's more like 16 hours.
Emma, Emma, stop.
And I'm not taking her
away from you, Ms. Gwon.
-I never meant to--
-Meant to what?
Give her cancer?
-Nate, get in the car.
-Okay.
Let's go, Emma!
What's going on with you
and Bob and Julio?
I smell a three-way.
How much did you have tonight?
You don't usually
drink this much.
They told me that you
sold them their house.
They're the dick pic dudes?
You're just now
putting that together?
She was so distant tonight.
Who was?
-Maggie.
-Maggie...
I can't believe
she's going overseas
for five months.
She used to be afraid
to fly and she meets Nate.
Now, she wants to get
the fuck out of town.
I should be happy for her.
She's really going for it.
Uh-hmm.
We don't talk like we used to.
She barely came to see
Tanner near the end.
Not that I blame her.
I mean, she has her own life.
It's just that,
time just whooshes right by.
Uh-hmm.
Not now, though.
It's taking forever right now.
Did you know that "After All"
was my song with Andy?
I did.
It was from our second date.
We went to go see
the movie that it's from.
Oh, God.
What was it called?
It starred,
um, Robert Downey Jr.
and, um, Cybill Shepherd!
I fucking love
Cybill Shepherd!
Did you and Craig
have a song?
I don't--
I don't think we did.
No, you did, you did,
you--because, um,
it was super obscure
and I cannot remember--
oh, oh.
Does alcohol make you senile?
Emma, I'm gonna very gently
yet firmly kick you
out now, okay?
Okay. But you have
to text me and tell me
to pick up my car
because I don't wanna wake up
and think it got stolen.
Oh, honey.
No one's stealing that car.
-Love you.
-Love you.
-Bye. Happy birthday!
-Oh, thank you, thank you.
Thanks for coming.
- Do you need help?
- No.
I can--
I can come around.
- No.
- No? Okay.
Tanner?
There you are, boy.
Hi, boy.
Hi, Tanner.
There's no name,
just a number.
It's A319703.
319793?
Oh, yeah.
The name's Angus.
We still have him.
Oh. Well, he doesn't
look like an Angus.
You're allowed
to change it.
Well, I, um--I thought
I would just come out there.
I don't live too far.
It's only like eight
and a half hours.
Oh, you're not
from around here?
No, but I don't mind driving.
What if you change
your mind?
I won't. He's perfect.
A note here says
he's due for a surgery.
- Oh, really?
- Hmm, torn hind leg.
There's an order
to amputate.
It's nothing, really.
Dogs are resilient.
We'll call you
when he's ready.
Uh, yeah.
He's also
heartworm positive.
Don't think that was
listed in his description.
What's your name and number?
Ma'am?
Sal, no. Quiet.
Quit barking.
Shush, shush, shush.
Sal. Shush.
Coming.
He just went potty.
Yeah, good boy.
Good potty.
I never would've guessed
you were churchgoer,
but I guess we don't
talk about that at work.
Yeah. Well,
my faith is a personal thing
and I didn't know
that you had a dog.
And I didn't know you foster
until Phillip told me.
I once had four dogs
at the same time
if you can believe it.
Four?
It was madness,
but totally worth it.
You know, when you find them
their forever home.
So what do you think of Sal?
I don't know if he likes me.
Oh, you'd know
if he didn't like you.
I think
he's falling for you.
So what happened to Tanner?
They found tumors
in his liver.
It was well past chemo.
The vet said he would only
live for a few weeks,
but he actually hung on
for months.
-We had good days mostly.
-Hmm.
My Zoey,
I had her for 13 years.
She was the best,
sweetest Dalmatian.
I foster because I can't
bring myself to adopt.
She was the love of my life.
Remember only dry food
twice a day
and the cheap stuff
gives him diarrhea,
so I will email you a list
of recommendations.
And then, in here, we've got
treats and all of his toys,
there's poop bags, um, that
thing folds up really nicely,
so, uh, you might wanna
crate him for at least
three to seven days, you know,
put a little water in there,
maybe some wee pads if you
don't have any of those.
Is this too much?
-No, it's fine.
-Oh, my God. I'm sorry.
I feel like
I'm forcing him on you.
No, it's like
he's rescuing me.
Oh, baby.
Can I write you a check
for the rescue place?
Oh, no. Let's just
wait until you decide
if you wanna keep him.
Saying goodbye is so hard.
He's the sweetest boy.
I love this one so much.
Sal is my favorite.
Damn it! Sal!
No. Drop it.
Sal. No.
I don't think
this is working out.
He's just
settling in.
Are you training him?
Yeah. I mean--but he's
just--can you hear him?
He's barking,
barking, barking.
He just poos and pees
everywhere.
I take him on lots of walks,
but he just--
How can something
that small can poo so much?
He even shit in my shower!
Well,
excessive defecation,
especially indoors,
is usually a sign of anger.
Anger? What does
he have to be angry about?
Well, your tone
isn't the most tranquil,
you know, and he's sensitive.
Have you tried
an anxiety vest?
Are you suggesting that my
voice is causing him to shit?
Okay. Okay. Come on.
Good boy.
You're my first return,
you know.
I feel like such a failure.
No, Emma.
I keep on thinking about
having to go through
all this again.
I think I waited
too long with Tanner.
I think I prolonged
his suffering.
No.
I was gonna
put him down that day.
I made an appointment.
I had it all planned out.
Nuggets, ice cream,
a long walk,
the last game of fetch,
but it's like he knew.
He didn't wanna die
at the vet.
He woke me up
at the crack of dawn.
He waited just so he could
say goodbye to me.
It was like
he was asking permission
to be let go.
I can't let go.
Okay.
I learned this
exercise when Zoey died.
I think it might help.
Okay. Lay down
and then turn on your side.
Okay.
Okay if I put my hand here?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
So close your eyes and relax.
Breathe in through your nose,
out through your mouth.
Slowly.
Deeper breaths.
I speak to Zoey.
She can hear me.
Once, she even showed up.
What?
Yeah.
I was cooking breakfast
and I caught her
out of the corner of my eye
for just a split second.
She was there watching me
from across the kitchen.
I think she wanted me
to know that she was okay.
My grandma used to say that
once they know they're yours,
they'll always be with you
even when their gone,
they'll find a way, to let you
know that they're still here.
My neighbor Tom told me
to scatter Tanner's ashes
at his favorite place.
That that's where
he would wanna be.
And then he would be free
to roam and look for me.
Well, I don't know about that.
But I do know that it's
important for you to tell him
how you feel about him
so that he can hear you.
So go ahead, Emma,
tell him how you feel.
Tanner, it's mommy.
Can you do me a favor, buddy?
If you can find your way...
give me a sign.
Something real.
Just so I know
I'm not going crazy.
You could whine...
like you did when you wanted
me throw your ball...
or bark like you did
when you dreamed...
or scratch at the door...
like you wanted me
to let you in...
or just show up.
I would really love
to see you...
even if it's only
for a moment.
Yes, we'll have the roti prata
and ayam satay to start
and we'll also share
the beef rendang,
char kway teow, laksa mee,
and nasi lemak,
and can we get a side
of sambal too please?
Look at you! Ordering
like a real Singaporean.
Of course, lah.
Lived there so long already.
You look terrific, Emma.
Thank you.
Oh, I'm having
multiple foodgasms.
I didn't oversell it, right?
No. You know what?
Get out your phone,
film me inhaling all of this
because we're gonna start
a fucking channel right now.
Look out Raven,
here comes Emma.
Thank you.
We had Maggie so young
and you weren't ready.
I was so driven by my career
and you had to give up
Juilliard to stay
at home with Maggie.
That must have been hard.
Thanks for saying that.
It's weird. I'm so nervous
about acting now.
It's like I'm starting
all over again,
especially having been
gone for so long.
But you were
the star of Singapore's
number one soap opera.
Co-star and it was
number three actually.
Wait, you've seen it?
Just some clips online.
Don't get a big head.
Please, that show
got me typecast.
You play a villain
for eight seasons,
no one can see you
as anything else.
Uh, I fucking hate
when I sound like this.
Like what?
An annoying actor?
A fucking annoying
character actor.
Anyway, who cares?
What's most important
now is my sobriety,
just got to stay on track.
I don't blame you anymore
for everything that happened.
I get these flashes of Tanner
when he was younger
and it takes me right back
to what was happening
between us then.
I'm just observing
and it feels like
what it must have been like
for Tanner
just watching over us.
And it takes away
all of the awfulness
and the resentment.
Does that make sense?
Sort of. Yeah.
I can see it
from your side now.
The way things
soured between us.
It doesn't mean
you're off the hook.
But I've had a lot of time
to think about everything.
Do you ever think
about seeing Maggie?
All the time.
Is now a bad time?
No, not at all.
Um, so this
came out of the blue.
It's completely unexpected.
Australia fell into the ocean?
They're banning Americans?
Mom, stop.
Uh, Nate was offered a job.
Yeah, he was head hunted
by this design firm
in Melbourne
who saw his portfolio
and they jumped on it.
It pays really well.
Oh, honey.
Long distance relationships
can be really hard.
What? No.
Uh, I'm trying
to tell you that
I'm gonna play it by ear.
If I like it there, I'll stay.
What? You're moving
to Australia?
No. No, Mom.
I'm just--
um, I'm just not
setting any parameters
for when I come back.
Yeah, that's called moving.
It's not like
a set thing.
If it doesn't work out,
I'll just come back.
But, um, since Nate
accepted their offer,
we have to leave earlier
on the 27th.
What did you say?
That's just two weeks away.
So you're just gonna
drop everything
to move to Australia for him?
What about your life,
your career?
I want this, Mom, okay?
Well, I'm glad
you took the time
to think that through.
I did.
Sadie is hosting a going away
party for us this weekend
and I really want you there,
but you have to promise
not to be weird
and, um, Stan is coming.
You already told him?
Yeah.
Before me?
How long have you
known about Maggie?
Like literally a day.
Jesus, don't change
the subject.
What the hell
were you thinking?
I should've kept
my mouth shut.
I don't understand
why you'd see Andy.
Just because he sent
you a card?
We were just catching up.
It's not a big deal.
Just catching up, like
old pals.
Have you conveniently forgot
what he did to you guys?
It's a long time ago.
People change.
Not that much.
What happens when
he falls off the wagon?
I think it's gonna be
different this time.
I've heard
that before. Multiple times.
Recovery is a process, Stan.
What are you, his sponsor now?
You're not getting back
together with him are you?
Give me a break.
Is that why
I haven't seen you lately?
Because you've been with him?
I can't do this. I can't.
Don't hold back for my sake.
I won't be around when the
shit hits the fan this time.
Are you mad about the present?
God, that is such a fucking
false equivalency.
I knew you were mad.
I was gonna ask you about it.
Okay. You want to go there?
But sure,
let's fucking go there.
Um, I'm gonna start
with the positive
as I'm not a bitch.
The gift card, that was great.
Who doesn't love a gift card?
Um, the photo
on the other hand,
even Maggie cringed.
I mean, what's up with you
and old photos anyways?
They're plastered
all over your fucking house.
And then, you have to drag me
into your sappy
sentimental hell too?
It's not sappy!
I found that when
I was cleaning the attic.
It touched me
and I just thought that
you would want a memento
of how things used to be.
Why would I want that?
I've moved on,
what we're all supposed to do.
Well, When you said
that you were going
to Bear Week
in Provincetown,
I was like,
"Oh, that's weird,"
because you used to say
that labels were tribalism,
but now,
you're all scruffed up.
You got some butch drag,
and suddenly
you're in a throuple.
I am not in a throuple.
I'm hanging out
with a couple.
There is a difference.
And even if I was throupling,
I don't need
your fucking approval.
And how dare you
say butch drag!
If Craig was here,
he would've bust a gut.
Well, he's not fucking here
because he died!
Stan, I didn't mean--
We can't go back, Emma. Okay?
It is so fucked up
that you're seeing Andy.
It's played out.
And what's Maggie gonna think
when she finds out?
Have you even
thought about that?
You actually think
I've forgotten Craig?
I think about him
every fucking day.
Do you wanna know
what it's like
to be with someone
who isn't a selfish alcoholic?
His dying wish was that
I would meet someone else.
That's what he wanted,
for me to, uh, keep going.
I--I'm self-aware, you know.
I see how I must look.
I--but maybe
this is just a phase.
Maybe this is just me
figuring things out.
But why should you,
of all people,
give me so much shit about it?
Stan, I just--Stan, come on.
Stan.
Hmm, that was not good.
I hit a nerve.
It's not like you two
haven't fought before.
We're like this
old married couple
always taking digs
at each other.
But this was real bad.
He'll get over it.
You remember that time
you didn't speak to each other
for a month
because Craig was insulted
you wouldn't get them
something from Timmons
with your employee discount?
I did that?
Yeah.
Huh.
Did I get you this?
Well, yeah, I guess you did.
Hmm.
Still fits.
So if you were still
with Cynthia in Singapore,
would you have even
sent me that card?
I would've sent you that card.
I thought you wanted me
to stay away.
You and Maggie.
She would ask about you
from time to time,
over the holidays
or when we were with kids
with their dads.
It grew less and less
over the years
as she got older.
I didn't know that.
One time
she thought she saw you
in a shampoo ad
in a magazine.
She swore up and down
that was you.
She insisted
that we look it up.
When she found out
it wasn't you...
it devastated her.
She got really guarded
after that.
Stuff like that
made it really hard
not to hate you.
I kept telling myself
that the booze
is what distanced you from us.
Made it seem
like you weren't there.
But it was worse
when you were there.
Like that time you
picked up Maggie from school
and you were drunk.
That's when I knew
that you and I were done...
because if anything
had happened to her...
I would've never
been able to forgive you.
I'm sorry, Emma.
I'm really sorry.
Hey, before you go.
We had that made for him
when we first adopted him.
He was just a little baby,
remember?
Somehow it ended up with me,
but you should keep it.
You were always
his number one.
Thanks.
Go get your ball
Go get your ball
Go get your big ass ball
Big ass ball
Big ass ball
Go get your big ass ball
I've sang that song to him
until the day he died.
I still sing it sometimes.
-You made it up.
-Uh-hmm.
I'd catch myself singing it
from time to time.
Like some terrible song you
can't get out of your head.
Cynthia was always like,
"Stop that shit, lah!"
But somehow it relaxes me.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Is Stan gonna tell Maggie?
I don't know.
Remind me why you
told him again?
I can't keep
anything from him.
If he tells Maggie about us...
I'll deal with him.
And if he doesn't,
would you tell Maggie?
What would I even say?
That we're back together?
That we're just hanging out?
Okay.
I won't tell her.
She's leaving anyway.
She doesn't need the baggage.
- Hi.
- Oh, shit.
Sorry. Um, sorry.
I thought
you're back tomorrow?
Yeah, my car was making
this horrific sound,
so I brought it back
to take to the shop.
- How's camping?
- Good.
Better once
the mushrooms kicked in.
Oh, I just uploaded
the video online
if you're curious.
Twenty hotdogs,
five bags of marshmallows.
It's the new
outdoor challenge.
Wow, can't wait.
Can we step outside?
Sure.
Um, let me just
put on some pants.
I know you must find it weird,
Andy living here.
You know, we don't talk
to our other siblings,
but Andy and I get each other.
We both sought out
unstable careers.
My dad still
refuses to believe
Ravenous is my actual day job,
said that I blew my MBA.
Not Andy.
He's always been supportive.
That's why I'm starting
to feel conflicted now.
What do you mean?
What Andy did to you
and Maggie, it's awful.
I thought it was a good idea
for you two to meet
and clear the air.
I just didn't expect you
to be seeing each other again.
He's different now.
Don't you think?
I do, because he's finally
willing to work on himself.
I'm not saying
you're causing problems.
I mean, I haven't seen him
legit happy in a while,
but I do know that
in the program
they talk about triggers
and I wouldn't want him
revisiting his past
to cause him to drink again.
You follow?
I don't think he has
another relapse in him.
Hey.
Hey.
You leaving? I thought
we could grab a bite.
I know this
great Brazilian place.
I'm gonna head out.
I have to go get ready
for Maggie's going away party.
It's kind of a drive.
I need to go home and change.
Yeah, right.
You mentioned this.
I got a meeting
I can go to anyway.
I'll call you.
I've been working
on the accent
but it's like really hard,
you know?
They kind of-- huh?
I'll be right back.
Hi, Mom,
beginning to wonder
if you'd make it.
I got a late start.
This place is nice.
Whose is it?
Sadie's parents.
It's a timeshare.
The credenza
by the front door,
it's one of ours.
I actually helped name it.
It's called the Echelon.
Cool. Remember, Mom,
don't be weird.
Get me a drink.
I want whatever you're having.
Is, uh, something up with you
and Stan, by the way?
He's also being weird.
Kept asking
when you were coming.
Hello, don't you guys text?
Oh, boy.
Oh, you guys are fighting.
That's cute.
Actually, get me
a double vodka tonic.
Hey. Hey.
Go easy on Nate.
You're stressing him out.
He should be stressed out
about the secondhand smoke.
I am serious, Mom.
Hi, Ms. Gwon.
Glad you came.
Hi.
How's the drive?
So long,
kind of like
flying overseas.
Well, guess what?
Back on the patch.
Third time's a charm.
No cancer-ridden daughters
on my watch.
Ms. Gwon, I know
what you're thinking.
But I don't want you
to think of us leaving as--
Nate, congratulations
on your job,
but let's not do this now.
I know this
hasn't been easy for you.
Which is normal.
Maybe I'll come around
to it eventually.
Okay.
How long do you think for you
to come around, like ballpark?
Ask me again in 20 years.
Hi.
I just wanted
to say thank you,
uh, to everyone
for coming out.
This isn't really a farewell
or a send-off
or any of that sad shit.
As we've learned,
we're all just
a video call away.
For Nate and I,
this is the start
of a new adventure.
I mean, it's his homeland,
so it's more so for me.
Uh, but we promise
to come back
as often as possible.
And you're all welcome
to come stay with us
in Melbourne
in the kangaroo pen.
-Hmm, no.
-Nailed it.
Uh, shout out to
the bad bitch herself, Sadie,
my bestest bestie since
way the fuck back in pre-K.
Thank you for hosting us
in this insane house
I love you forever, girl.
Finally, I wanna acknowledge
two very special people
in my life,
my mom, Emma,
and my godfather, Stan.
They've been lifelong friends
and it's no exaggeration
to say
that I am who I am today
because of them,
the good and the bad,
mostly the good, mostly.
We went through a rough patch
when I was growing up,
but Stan was always there.
And having you both
meant I never missed out
on having a complete family.
So thank you.
And I love you both very much.
I love you.
And now a toast
to the one family member
who couldn't be here...
Tanner.
The best dog
anyone could ever hope for.
He was a rescue pup,
and I don't really remember
a time without him.
He crossed the Rainbow Bridge
not too long ago.
He will live in our hearts
forever though.
To Tanner!
To Tanner!
To Tanner.
Hey, um,
you waiting Ms. Gwon?
Yeah. Somebody's taking
a really long time in there.
Oh, okay.
Well, hey, I'm George,
Sadie's boyfriend.
Oh, hi, George.
Nice to meet you.
-Call me Emma.
-Nice to meet you.
Oh, everything
come out all right?
-How's it going?
-It's going.
I'm trying here, dude.
I can tell.
What do you want me to say?
I don't know.
Maybe, "I'm sorry"?
Hey, y'all mind if I...
Oh, go ahead. Sorry.
Technically,
we're both at fault.
You haven't seen Andy
in forever.
You have no right
to judge him.
Okay. Well,
I beg to differ.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
-We're done here.
-Oh, seriously,
we're doing this again?
Come on.
I feel like there are
a ton of opportunities
in Australia, right?
We can kind of do whatever.
Is everything
okay out there?
I need a little space, okay?
I'm asking for a little space.
- Okay.
- Well, just give me--
Well, here's the space.
This is enough space.
Yo, I don't
mean to eavesdrop.
What?
Okay. This is not the time
or the place for this.
This is a party
and it's not about you.
What the hell, guys?
You're freaking people out.
Honey, is there
no more food left?
I'm starving.
Yeah, we just
ordered some pizza.
Your mother's stalling.
Stan.
She has something
to tell you.
Is this about dad?
Did you fucking tell her?
I didn't say shit.
George heard you guys.
-Who's George?
-Fucking George.
- Bathroom snitch.
- Guys?
What's the deal with Dad?
He's back in town.
Okay. Um,
have you talked to him?
For starters.
Stay out of it.
What did he mean,
"for starters"?
Mom?
We've been hanging out.
The hell does that mean?
What do you think it means?
Oh, for fuck's sake.
How many times?
How many times what?
Did you guys hang out?
Maggie, that's none of your--
once, just once.
Hmm.
Were you even gonna tell me?
Yes, but there was
never a good time.
A good time?
I leave in a week.
See?
So what?
You guys dating now?
No.
Truthfully, I don't know
what we're doing.
Well, he abandoned us, Mom.
And we moved on.
It took us years,
but we fucking did it!
Yeah, but you would say that
you missed him sometimes.
I got over it, Mom.
We weren't enough for him.
So he's not enough for me.
Don't you have
any self-respect?
Hey, don't,
that's not fair.
She's right.
But I know he's trying.
And we both made mistakes.
Oh, goddammit, Mom.
And I know that
it would mean a lot to him
if you would see him
before you go.
Oh, my God.
Oh.
Well, um, you know what?
I think--I think
I want you to leave,
both of you.
Me? What did I do?
Maggie, calm down.
-We can just go inside.
-Just go. Now.
Oh, I didn't pee.
Fucking hell.
Stan, I'm sorry!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I said all
those shitty things.
I'm sorry for being
such a terrible friend.
I'm just--I'm really
fucking lost right now.
And I need your help
to get through it.
Are you going home tonight?
Uh, no.
I got a hotel room nearby.
I left my purse at Andy's
and I'm running low on gas.
See, this is what happens
when you're dickmatized.
All right, come on.
Oh, and I have to pee.
Just, um--
I'm gonna go in those bushes.
-Keep watch.
-No, stop.
Come, uh, really girl? You--
- I'm gonna burst.
- You can't hold it?
I'm gonna burst!
Oh, Jesus.
Okay.
- Make it fast.
- Don't look at me.
Look at the door.
What the fuck?
Did she just take a piss?
Do not tell Sadie.
Why didn't you
just let her use the loo?
She didn't say.
What?
You wanna talk about it?
I heard what happened.
Not right now, babe.
Hey, and for what it's worth,
you know, my prick for a dad
left us too,
but, well, if I had a chance
to see him again,
I'd consider it.
Why?
Well, I wanna believe
people do change.
It's just like,
I wanna believe
your mom's gonna accept me.
If my dad wants to be
in my life again,
I'd like to know that.
I dropped a pin.
Tell him to be at this diner
8:00 AM sharp.
He's got until 8:05.
Not a minute more.
Sounds like
a sting operation.
Where's the diner?
Around here.
Oh, God. Why so early?
It's a trap.
She knows that
Andy won't make it
or he'll be late,
especially with the drive.
Well, you know,
if he wants to see her.
Damn it, Maggie,
girl certainly knows
how to make things difficult.
I wonder
where she got that from.
Okay. Well, I'm gonna go
get us something to eat.
Hey, she's less mad at you.
Can't you ask her to meet Andy
at a halfway point?
Hell no. I'm not
getting dragged into this.
Don't you get it?
This needs to be on her terms.
Yeah. So I just stood
out there for a while...
and then I called
my sponsor.
Emma, I'm only
telling you this
because I don't want
there to be any more lies
between us, okay?
So you didn't make it to AA?
No.
But you went to a bar.
But I didn't go in, okay?
I swear. I fought it.
I believed you
for the longest time,
but you got so good
at hiding it.
I just couldn't tell anymore.
I still can't.
When you left this morning,
were you ashamed?
Of what?
Of me.
Of what we did.
No, I wasn't ashamed.
Yeah.
Well, I felt it regardless.
Oh, so I'm responsible
for your relapse?
I didn't relapse, Jesus.
What about tomorrow?
You're positive?
She wants this?
She told you that?
It was her idea.
Look, I'll leave here early
and I'll pick you up at 6:00.
That should give us
enough time.
You don't think
I can make it on my own?
It's far, Andy. Isn't Raven's
car getting fixed?
Yes. I'll figure it out.
I'll give you a ride.
I don't mind.
Emma,
let me figure this out
myself, okay?
I won't fuck this up.
It's not that.
I just wanna help.
You don't wanna
let her down again.
I won't let her down, okay?
Now stop treating me like
I don't have my shit together!
So yeah, things got out
of hand with Bob and Julio.
Bob is the one who wanted
an open relationship,
but Julio started
seeing me without Bob.
And Bob got upset.
So I had to get
the heck out of Dodge.
-Drama.
-Yeah.
On the flip side I, uh,
started seeing this Filipino.
Yes, Asian!
He's so adorable,
but he wanted
to take things slow,
which was nice for a change.
Um, and we went
out a few times.
And then he said
he wanted to go to Maggie's
with me tonight
and spend the night here.
And then he ghosted me,
so I don't know
what the fuck happened.
No.
Yeah.
It, kind of, sucked.
I haven't posted
anything lately.
I'm just--
I'm just so sick of it.
All these guys online,
I just feel like they want
to jerk off at home, you know?
I don't love the idea
of you getting back
together with Andy...
but I'm willing to give him
another shot if you are.
Thanks.
I really thought
we could start over,
but I don't know anymore.
Do you--do you still talk
in your sleep?
I don't talk
in my sleep.
We were roommates
for years.
You talk in your sleep.
It's okay.
I have earplugs
just in case.
You have earplugs
on hand?
Craig would snore
like a Mack truck.
So I just--I got used
to sleeping with them.
Next Thursday's
my anniversary with Craig.
How many years?
What?
-Earplugs.
-Oh.
How many years
next Thursday?
Oh, 25.
We, um...
we always had
ice cream cake to celebrate.
He had such a sweet tooth,
even at the end.
I told you about
the Pop-Tarts, right?
No.
It was his last night
in the hospital
and he had a taste
for Pop-Tarts,
blueberry flavor.
And I could
only find strawberry
in the vending machine.
So, when I came back
to the room,
he had already passed.
I was only gone a few minutes.
I still have those Pop-Tarts.
I don't know
what I would've done
without you guys
when Andy left.
I was inconsolable
when Craig died.
You were there
for me too.
Oh, you know,
I think I remember it now.
Your song with Craig.
True love
will find you in the end
You'll find out
just who was your friend
Don't be sad
I know you will
Don't give up until
True love
will find you in the end
This is a promise
with a catch
Only if you're looking
can it find you
True love
is searching too
How can I recognize you
Unless you step out
into the light, the light
Don't be sad
I know you will
Don't give up until
True love will find you
in the end
Shit.
Sit anywhere.
I'll be right with you.
Thanks.
You late motherfucker.
Where the fuck is he?
Oh, I knew it.
Fucking bullshit.
You just had
to make sure I made it, huh?
Oh.
"ARE YOU CLOSE???" All caps,
three question marks.
Wow.
One would've been
sufficient, Em.
I just thought--
never mind.
Yeah.
I got here
half an hour ago, lady.
Thanks.
Charge a couple
of mimosas to your card.
Hope that's cool.
That's not funny.
Okay.
Maggie should be here soon.
And once she gets here,
I'm gonna leave.
All right.
What can I get you to drink?
Just water, please.
Thank you.
- You need a refill?
- Yes, please.
Hi, Maggie.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi, sweetie.
We're gonna need a few minutes
before we order.
Oh, take your time.
-You need anything?
-I'm good. Thank you.
Okay. Great.
So, I'm gonna leave.
No.
You're staying.
I think that would be nice.
-What's good here--
-You look so grown up.
Oh, sorry.
Go ahead.
No, after you.
I heard both of you.
You gonna say something
or are you just gonna
ignore me like you did--
Maggie.
No. It's okay.
I'm just so happy to see you.
I thought--uh,
I thought you may never
wanna see me again,
so, thank you for doing this.
You think this is all it takes
to make up for what you did?
Maggie, it's okay.
No, Mom, it's not.
I'm doing this for you.
Not him.
I don't need the guilt
of not wanting to see him
after he
skipped out on us.
There's no guilt, really.
And you're absolutely right.
I did skip out on you...
the both of you.
And I'm sorry, Maggie.
I'm really--I'm so sorry.
So sorry.
You know what?
I'm gonna go.
Maggie, wait.
I have an idea.
Just hear me out.
I'm so sorry I wasn't
more upfront with you.
I've been such a mess
since Tanner died.
We don't have to say anything
to each other right now.
We can just sit and eat.
If you still wanna leave,
I won't stop you.
The offer still stands.
I'd love to take you
and Nate to the airport.
No, Mom, let's not.
LAX is a mess,
but we'll have dinner
before I go.
Just you and me.
Okay.
So, uh,
good luck in Melbourne.
I think
it's really exciting.
Thanks.
Good luck to you too.
Dad...
uh, I owe you an email.
You don't owe me anything.
You're right.
But I'm still gonna try
to write you back
once I'm settled.
I'd really like that.
Thank you.
I'm sorry
for not trusting you.
It's gonna take
some time, Em.
I need to work
on what it means
to be a better ex-wife.
We, kind of,
skipped that part.
Okay.
I guess it's only fair
I should work
on being
a better ex-husband too.
I meant to tell you.
The film is happening.
We start shooting
next month.
Whoa. Congrats.
You're gonna be
Rich White!
Yeah.
And I need to focus
on doing my work.
I don't wanna let anyone
down anymore.
You won't.
You'll be great.
Thank you, Emma.
I'll see you at Christmas.
Really?
I'll come out there.
Take care
of my baby girl.
Is this Dom?
Dom Wilcox?
Hi. How are you?
It's Emma Gwon.
Oh.
That's great to hear. Wow.
I won't bring him
back again, I promise.
Oh. Aw.
Look at his tail.
Good night, Sal.
