Gimme some! Marylou!
[Steve] How was the drive in?

[Cody] Yeah, because you slept
the entire five hours.
[Jared] Yeah well now
I'm all hopped up.
[Cody] You"re all hopped up??
[Marylou] So, summer good?
Nothing illegal,
immoral, or unethical?
- Mary Lou!
- No way!
[Steve] Cody, did you see on the
way in...?
[Cody] I did, yes I did!
[Steve] I specifically
fixed that hoop
for our little rematch.
[Cody] Oh, yeah? So where is he?
[Jared] Yeah. Where's boy-o?
[Martin] KEVIN!
[Steve] Is he in town?
[in an impish voice]
What are you doing in my woods?
Rah!
Oh I see you!
[Jared] Oh, this.
[laughing]
Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up?
Nothing.
[yelling and laughing]
Whoa! Chill! Down, boy!
Chill! Chill. [Laughs]
[Jared] Chill?! I can't chill.
I'm haven"t seen this
boy in three months,
and the first thing he
tells me is to chill??
What are you doing?
[yelling and grunting]
Oh shit! Ah! Ha!
We"re here!!!
I missed you guys.
You guys wanna go for a swim?
- Yes, I do.
- Hell, yeah.
- Yeah, let"s do it.
- Yes I do...
Come on!
[Martin] Let's go! Let's go!!
Thank you! [Martin] Let's go!!!
[laughing]
[Martin] Thank you.
You're welcome.
I"m doing my dish duty now
before everyone gets here.
[Martin] Okay, Kevin.
See, that's why you just say
"you"re welcome."
Tact?
[Steve] Moo Moo Cachoo...
Mackinaw Island Fudge...
[Martin] Let"s see it.
[Steve] And vanilla...
[Jared] Ooooo.
[Steve] Stories and sundaes to
celebrate our union?
Definitely.
[Steve] Hey, thanks
for cleaning up.
You're welcome.
[gentle piano]
[laughing]
[Cody] Three summers ago,
we read that after
summer after freshman year.
[silent mimmicking]
Oh boy, I got you.
[chatter]
[Martin] What "s he
got, what" s he got?
What"s that, an encyclopedia?
- It looks chonky.
- A tale from a time
long ago.
[Marylou] Your fave!
- No.
- No?
[Kevin] We"re not going to
finish it in a month anyway.
Aw...
[Jared] We"re not gonna finish
that in a year.
"The Stardust Compendium."
This is your favorite book?
[Marylou] Okay...
From the ages of,
like, 3 to 8 and a half. Yeah.
[Martin] Then he matured.
You loved that princess!
[Kevin] Mom.
[Marylou] Kev!
Cody, he used to come into our
room with his little blankie
over his shoulder,
"Mommy, Daddy,
read the princess."
- "The princess!"
- "Read the princess!"
Oh you"re so adorable bro!
This is really cutting into the,
masculine identity I've
been cultivating here.
- [Martin] Oh, hey hey hey hey.
- [Cody] Read the princess?
[Martin] Real men feel.
[laughing]
Please?
I"ll read 70% of the time.
Okay, okay.
Real men feel what?
Exactly.
Chapter one.
"Have I told you?"
"Have I told you this dream?"
"the bold young princess
asked the quiet knight."
"A dream of fallen stars."
"The far reaches of time."
"And I dreamed
what you dreamed."
"Wanted what you wanted."
"How far will we go?"
"Stardust to stardust?"
"For the stars are limitless."
"Infinite as my love,"
"everlasting,"
"and incalculable."
Okay.
[sighs]
[Cody giggling]
[whispering and moaning]
[Kevin] Fu.
- [Cody] Is it...?
- [Kevin] Fuck...
[Kevin] Fuck.
My bad.
[Cody] Impressive.
[Kevin] What?
[Cody] World records
are impressive.
[Kevin sighs]
[Cody] No no no no no no.
Hey.
[Cody laughs]
[Cody] I knew I'd
seen you here before.
[Kevin] In these woods?
[Cody] You're Kevin.
Kevin Wolf Schmidt.
[Kevin] Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well my woodland friends
call me The Wolf.
[Cody] Yeah. I"ve
seen you prowling.
[Kevin] Well, I do prowl every
third Saturday
of the month when the moon
is highest, so, that must
be what you"re thinking about.
[Cody] Must be.
[crickets chirping]
I don't know why.
I thought this place
would be different.
Or, yeah, I don't know.
What would be different?
Nothing.
It doesn't even make sense.
Okay! It's like
this place doesn't even
exist until you're here.
Right?
And then, it doesn't even matter
what happened or
what you did, or...
See? I don't even know! [Laughs]
Well, it's definitely
more boring
when you're not here.
Wow. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I don't care if we do
29 days of absolutely nothing.
- Nope.
- Yes.
And you know what I'm going to
say, dune climb at sunrise.
You're the one who
can't get up at 4am!
I know! But I will!
Yeah, but I am also
too lazy to get up at 4am.
We can do it.
I mean, I see no evidence why
this year will be different, but
okay.
Well, I'm going to do it.
I support your endeavors.
[contented sigh]
Oh.
Oh?
The smell of
electricity in the air
before a storm.
It's called pet rich or.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Hhmm.
What?
- What?
- Nope.
Nope.
[howls playfully]
Sshhh!
You're a wolf!
I'm wolf in discretion.
Howl.
Awwooo.
In what world is that a howl?
In discretionary wolf world.
Please.
We have very strict ordinance
ordinances.
Howl for me, little
big wolf!
Strong, sweet, beautiful wolf.
Who I may have
missed just a little.
[howling loudly]
70 days.
Nine hours and
27 minutes.
Never again?
Never.
[gentle music]
[grasshoppers sing]
[Mystery of Time by Dopplar]
[Kevin] Hey, Post Master Joe.
[birds singing]
[Kevin howls joyfully]
[Steve] That's a big decision.
[Martin] Huge decision.
But honestly, I'll
just step away from it,
take a breather... You know?
[Steve] Mm. Yeah.
So, what"re you think in,
a year? [Martin] Oh, jeez.
I don't know,
the majority of my life
has been school, so
I just kinda wanna try some
not-school for a while.
Mmhmm, so some not-school.
[Martin] Yes!
Absolutely. Absolutely.
[Martin] I"m pretty sure school
feels the same way about me.
[Marylou] I"ll say,
"Martina and I spoke"
"and he told me that he is
going to stay at home until"
"he"s 35."
"And I think it's a
really smart plan!"
Yeah, you know,
we'll workshop it,
we"ll put a pin in that.
[Laughing]
[Marylou] Hello.
Hello.
[Steve] Morning. [Martin] Hey!
Good morning!
What's up boys?
We're focused.
[Martin] Yeah,
they're on a mission.
[Marylou] Guys.
Looks good out there.
[Whispering]
[Marylou] Kev?
It looks good out there.
Mom.
Chill?
I"m chill!
- Marylou, you're the chillest.
- Right?
- Mmhmm.
- Come on, I mean,
am I not the chillest?
And the illest.
[Laughing] What?
No?
Tough crowd.
Man.
Cody, what is wrong
with these guys?
I don't know.
Mmm!
Can we use the bikes today?
Mmm, that's chill.
[Sighs]
Okay, now we can
have some pancakes.
- Mmm.
- Alright.
[Martin] Here they come.
Here they come now.
- You should feel accomplished.
- [Cody] Come eat.
After you.
- [Cody] Plate.
- Thank you very much.
- Plate.
- Plate.
Thank you very much.
And when you"re not yearning
You decide just what to feel
These days
"I" m living in the city
instead of on the run
[Slaps mailbox]
[Slaps mailbox]
I bet
you"re lying in the shadows
hiding from the sun
[All] Oooohh!!!
[Kevin] Wait. How?
[Empty blowing sound]
[Laughing]
"You" ve got your
world hurting
It"s no secret I can see
Inside your soul is burning
[Waves roar]
for a taste of revelry
These days
"I" m living in the city
instead of on the run
I bet
you"re lying in the shadows
hiding from the sun
[Jared] Oh, what"s a kickstand.
[Kevin] I don't know. [Laughing]
[Marylou] Jared, no
running in the road!
[Martin] County road ends at the
water, Marylou!
[Laughing]
Cody, you know the
story of this Harbor?
[Cody] Mm-mm.
Well, from Alligator
Alley to the shallows,
he gave this to her family,
when he fell in love
with a weaver's daughter.
And, sort of,
a monument to Bolt"s
affection for her.
Now, in 1860, Elena
donated it to the entire
town for everybody to enjoy.
Sort of a enduring monument
to their eternal love.
[Upbeat music]
These days
"I" m living in the city
Come on, take it to 50, Steve!
[Steve] Come on! [Jared] Yeah!!!
[Steve] Here we go!
[Steve] Fifty it is!
[Marylou] Hey, that"s
dangerous, Marty!
[Jared] It"s outside the comfort
zone, Marylou!
[Jared] It"s where
the magin happens!
[Martin] Woo!
[Jared] Yeah!
- Woo!
- Aaahhh!!!
Yeah!!!
[All yelling and screaming]
[Martin] I knew this
was gonna start!
[Martin] Ugh, it
makes me go "ough!!!"
And then my muscles tense up.
[Steve] Contractions.
[Martin] Yeah yeah yeah.
[Steve] Contractions
are contractions.
[Jared] That"s so
wild, and crazy.
[Martin] I mean, come on.
[Jared] Oh, man.
- Bo-bouy, your shoulders.
- What?!
[Martin] Oh, Jared...
[Martin] Could you
get that for me?
Outside the comfort zone?
Inside the comfort zone, baby!
[Jared] Amazing.
You guys gonna miss each other?
Oh, no, Marylou. We don't...
Tell her. Let her know.
Time to branch out, right?
[Jared] Ummmm
I like knowing my friends. Okay?
And it's like 14 amazing
beautiful years with these guys.
[Jared] So I'm
cool. Yeah I'm good.
Um, like... Oh, Kev!
- Kev!
- What?
Do I know you?
What?
Do I know you?
Like, the real you.
You don't know shit on a stick
a-Rooney-dooney about me, bro.
- Hmm.
- You see, he loves me.
And there's so
much more to learn.
So my branches are pretty, uh
sprouted to the maximum.
[Marylou] Okay. So no branching.
- That's a negative. Yes.
- None.
And these two?
What the two
lovebirds at the bow?
I mean
Reed and Claremont are close.
Yeah it's a 14 hour and 16
minute drive in light traffic
when leaving at 6 a.m..
So.
[Laughter] What?
How do you know that?
Well, your son told me
this many times over
the last 6 months.
[Marylou] How many times?
- Many.
- Yes.
Oh, so many times.
So, um, yeah. They're cool.
They're good.
You guys cool and good?
[Scoffs]
What, bud?
Uh.
Because, uh
Jay is saying you're
old and empty nesters
I didn"t.
I
I think I wanna kick "your ass!"
Martin!
- [Laughing]
- Whoaa!
- Not before you stretch,
though. - Oh!
Oh, right. A little
stretchy stretch.
Oh, no. It's gonna be
good. It's gonna be good.
It's gonna be great.
Gonna be great.
He's got you guys.
The three musketeers.
[Marylou] The three musketeers.
We"re your musketeers
too, Marylou.
Unequivocally.
Oh.
Yo, K.C.
[Cody] Yo.
[Jared] What are
the plans tonight?
- Ballin".
- Got no plans.
Perfect.
It happens between
the plans, baby.
What happens between the plans?
- Oh, it"s jus that...
- What happens between plans?!
[Martin] Come on, Mary Lou!
- Oh no, oh nooo.
- What happens between plans?!
[Martin] Laaa vidaaa!!!
Oh! Oh now!
Oh reel "em in! Reel" em in!
- Somebody help me!
- Somebody help me!
- Ooohhh!
- Oh, he's like a flying fish!
I"m unequivocally-dancing!
Unequivocally! Okay?
He"s unequivocally-dancing!
I "m falling! I" m
unequivocally falling!
[Clapping and yelling]
[Rhythmic clapping]
[Martin] Get outta here!
[Rhythmic clapping
intensifies] Nooo...
[All] Come on! Dance!
[Cheering!]
[Cheering!]
[Growing ethereal music]
[Music grows, sound fades]
[Distant Cheering]
[Laughing]
"And then the flying knight
felt compelled to speak!"
"Princess! Princess!"
"Dare I say our love
shall be timeless."
Timeless!
[Kevin] Yes! Timeless!
May I go on? I
must say reprimand.
No reprimandations, sir!
Not a words, sir!
You need to learn
your words, sir.
- Keep reading, sir.
- Well, where was I?
- Timeless!
- TIMELESS!
Ah, yes! Timeless!
Timeless! You all get
one candy each for being
such good little listeners.
One for you. Come on.
One for you.
And one for youuu.
[Laughing] What is this voice?!
I
Don't know, but you
get one more candy!
Because, well
well, nobody's ever cared to ask
me about my voice before,
young lady.
Now, where was I?!
- TIMELESS!
- TIMELESS!
Ah, timeless...
We've got this.
An adventure we
have yet to achieve
nay, even dare attempt!
DUNE CLIMB at SUNRISE!
Oooh, dune climb at sunrise!
Now I know what
ya"ll are gonna say.
Every year we say we to do it,
and we never do it.
And it's horseshit.
Because we are a
rock and roll band
with hearts of.
- Balls!
- Fire.
[Cody] Hearts of great balls of
fucking fire!
And this year is going to be
different. Because we are 18,
damn it, and of sound mind
and sound body,
and we have the capacity to
make a plan and stick to it.
So does anybody
have any questions?
Absolutely not.
[Cody] Thank you Martin.
[Cody] Now let's
fucking do this.
[Cody] Gosh darn
it all the hell.
Because this is
something we are never,
ever going to forget.
So who's with me?
Sshhfink!
That was a sword sound.
Anyway.
LET"S DO THIS!!!
[Emphatic cheering!]
Rah!!!
AAHHH!!!
AAHHH!!!
[This Sweet Love by James Yuill]
Hey!
[Chatting]
Be
the greatest man in history
Here we go! Here we go!
You"re doing fine! Honestly!
[Cody screams]
just be
[Splashing and laughing]
Walk
walk out on the
beach with me
[Martin beat boxing]
walk out on the sea with me

[People talking]
[Kevin] Pull back!
[Cody] I"m gonna pull back!
I"m gonna pull back!
[Kevin] Yeah! [Cody]
Wait! Towards me?!
[Kevin] Towards you!
That was not fun!
That was not fun!!!
It"s only boating in pictures!
Sweet love
And oh
how you love
This sweet love
[River babbles]
Where are we?
[Jared] You got to get your
priorities straight.
You got to go to school.
You got to get a job.
- Cut your hair.
- And brush your teeth.
Yeah, son! You gotta brush
your hair and cut your teeth or
you'll end up in the
hills of Sasquatchian
building a fire out of
damp wood! And you"re
frickin cold in a bare ass on a
Tuesday afternoon!
Haaaah!
[All] Hah!
[Martin] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[Martin] that sounds
fun, I"ll do that!
[Jared] Then go! Go to Canada.
- It's like right there.
- I will!
You would?
I would. Maybe. Possibly!
- It's, you know...
- Miss you already.
[Martin] Hey, hey,
hey, I said maybe!
Okay? There"s a
big, big if on that.
[Frustrated sigh]
With his autonomy comes
making the decisions.
And my brain is like, "No!"
"Absolutely the fuck not."
"You are too lazy for that."
And I just
I know I don't want to
be the same shit as
without thinking
about what"s next or,
or planning! Or any of that!
It's just all been so fucking...
[Frustrated sound] Right?
- Yes.
- I just want to be out there.
- Yeah that"s...
- I wanna be...
Bare ass in Canada?
Bare ass in Canada!
Maybe.
Of course I still
have feelings about it
that I will unpack later.
[Jared] Yeah, that's cool man.
I mean, you've never been one to
move at other people's tempos.
- I know, because I try.
- So what do you want to do?
I want to fly!
Or something.
Annie!
- [Annie] Cody Bear?!
- Hi! Come here!
- I think we"ve got some
females. - Hi!
- Chill.
- Relax!
[Kevin] Fix your hair.
Oh my...
Guys! Don't mother me.
[Annie] Hi!
- Oh.
- Hi.
[Kevin] Yo.
[Annie] Well, aren't you all
evolving nicely?
[Annie] Hi, boys.
Ann Marie.
[Annie] Ann Marie.
[Cody] How"s school?
Schoolie, man.
Um.
The first couple months felt
eternal, because
everything is new.
You know... dorm,
internship, friends.
But once you get settled in,
you know, everything
just speeds up
and before you know
it, you're back
in the Old Haven none the wiser.
Or maybe the wiser,
who"s to say.
Uh, how are, how
are the parties?
Fine.
Is there reckless hedonism?
Marty, I'm sure you'll have
every success at finding
whatever it is your
little heart desires.
[Kevin] But the hedonism?
Oh, it's a hellscape
of instant gratification.
Mmm.
But once you get
past that, it is
whatever you want it to be.
You know, cool people,
everybody really trying.
It's cool.
Come visit me. All of you.
Yeah, I"ll definitely
take you up on that.
Oh. Sorry, I meant all of them.
[All] Oooh.
[Kevin] Oh my gah.
Sorry.
Can I ask...
Do you have... how
how are the guys?
Short sighted.
Short sighted, I like that.
- Mmm mmm mmm!
- Wow, short sighted.
[Thunder, gentle rain]
[Annie] I think one
miracle happened.
The big bang, a singularity
and everything else is just
math! You know,
moving particles.
[Martin] Wait wait
wait. Okay, but wait.
Doesn't that technically
make everything a miracle?
[Annie] That"s not what I'm
intending to say, no.
[Martin] Okay,
but there's nothing and
an incalculable amount
of cosmic atoms
forms the singularity,
and that happens!
And?
[All] AND?
13.8 Billion years
later, here we are
talking about it.
Right? Like wondering
why and asking how.
Seems pretty miraculous to me.
Well, I mean, I can appreciate
the insane mathematics involved.
Sure, it"s
pretty miraculous.
But to say that
life is a miracle.
That's a cliche.
Well, I love a good cliche.
Oh, fuck.
[Annie] And that's
cool, Bubbaloo.
[Annie] Just accept it.
You know, rebel
yell on the outside.
Live, Laugh, Love
knitting by the fire
in a cozy mustard
cardigan on the inside.
[Snorts]
Zinger.
Okay. [Jared] Zinger!
Okay!
[Annie] Don"t fight
it, embrace it.
[Martin] Okay!
Embrace the inner you.
I accept
okay?
How"s that? I accept
that I am a man
of platitudes.
And!
I am also, very much so,
the human embodiment
of a house cat.
[Jared] You know,
the Crystal River was
pretty pretty.
As we say in my culture, it was
stupid, sparkly.
And, I've always, I
always loved it there.
[Kevin] Are you kidding?
My parents used
to always force us
to go there when
we were younger.
We hated it.
[Jared] Well, I block that out.
Why did you hate it?
They used to have to
put floaties on us
to keep us from getting
in the rip times. It was,
kinda traumatizing.
- The riptides?
- The floaties.
I don't think there's ever
been a rip tide there.
I think they were
just fucking with us.
Well, I appreciate it now.
[Kevin] Is it different now?
[Martin] Nah, no, the thing"s
still the same.
But, I mean, as kids,
we just want to eat ice cream
and throw lit sticks
at each other.
Back then, we chose
fire and ice cream.
And now it's libations
and debauchery.
- [Martin] Oh god.
- And hootenannien.
Hootenannien?
"Hootenannien!"
[Laughter]
Yeah, and we can
hootenanny all we want
now because it's of
our own volition.
[Jared] Hhmm?
[Martin sighs] It's
"on your own terms."
Mmmmmm.
See you got to learn
your words, man.
This is what happens!
I know everything
that I need to know.
Alright, I don't know about
you guys, but I learned this
long ago.
Ah, enlighten us.
Oh, no. Sorry. Can't.
- What? No, please.
- Can"t jinx it.
- Nope. Sorry.
- Please! Enlighten us.
Okay, well, since
you're begging.
Give it what... uh.
Eight, Eleven.
Eleven years.
And we buy a place
right here.
[Kevin] On the lake.
[Jared] On the lake?
[Jared scoffs]
[Jared mimmicking]
"On the lake?"
My name is Kevin, [Laughter]
I stay "on the lake."
[Cody] Jay! [Laughing]
Okay. Sorry.
Yeah, we get
a little spot of lake land and
we'll come up every summer.
And Kev is a
writer/doctor, doctor/writer.
And... Cody is a world renowned
human-tarian, philanthropist,
bad ass, whatever.
And then me and Marty,
we live our lives
riddled with
questionable life choices
and then decide to settle down
and raise our respective kiddos
all together, in a single house.
I think it's perfect.
That is
inefficient as fuck.
[Jared] It's the most efficient
"cause then we
get to be together
all the time.
Ah! He's got you there.
[Jared] Yeah, I got you there.
And, um,
Ann Marie, what what.
What?
What?
What? Oh...
Oh, I get the honor
of being with you
after your
questionable lifestyle?
Or are you saying that I'm one
of your questionable choices?
Uh. Either. Or
it's your volition.
[Annie laughs]
[Annie] You"re drunk, boo.
A drunken mind
speaks a sober heart.
And!
My heart is sober.
Come on, everybody,
please raise it up here with me.
[Soft music]
Here's to us, a
lifetime from now,
Looking back and seeing
that it was together.
There"s truly, truly
no place I'd rather be than
with you guys.
I love you guys so much.
So, Cheers!
[All] Cheers. [Kevin] Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Eyes!
Cheers and eyes!
- Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Cheers.
[Jared] Lotta eyes. Cheers.
[Chatting]
[laughing]
[Martin] Hey, you guys coming?
Uhhh.
No. We "re chill in".
Okay, well, good
night, you guys.
And drive safe.
Thank you.
[Martin] The beer.
[Jared] Hey, guys. Um.
Do you guys, like,
love each other?
Forever? And ever?
[Kevin] Okay, bye.
Wait wait wait, Jay.
Yo, come here.
- Yo yo!
- I think I forgot, hold on...
Hold on, I think I...
Oh.
- [All] Ooooh!
- Oh, my
- I'll get ya"ll!
- Bye!
Ya"ll just wait on it.
[Radio turns on]
[Awaken by Big Wild
starts playing]
What is this?
Oh, Kev.
[Music continues]
Find your way home
Find your way home
[Music fades]
[Waves lapping] [Birds singing]
[Delicate piano]
[Kevin] Jay, I'm not saying it's
how many times you"re farting
that"s ruining it.
It's how consistently
disgusting they are.
Okay okay!
I"m not the first
person to say it.
[Jared] Come here, both
you guys. Both you guys...
[Slap!]
- Jay, you!
- Jay!
[Martin] I "m com in" for you
now! [Jared] Come in here!
[Distant door slams]
[Martin] Dune climb!
At fucking sunrise!
[Jared] Love the energy.
[Kevin] Is that new?
I don "t think I" ve heard that.
Wow.
[Martin] I don't think the music
gets this far out.
[Jared] What"s the
one song, that goes.
[Jared] Whoa.
Whoa whoa, whoa...
[Kevin] Maybe I'll hear
it in a year or two.
[Kevin] Maybe you want to catch
up on time.
Yeah.
[Jared, mimmicking] When you
catch up on time music.
Dope.
[Cody] Good, boys. [Kevin] Mmmm.
[Kevin] Grumpy boys.
[Jared] Ohhh, Wooshy-boosh.
[Kevin] No no no.
[Martin] Shfink!
[All] Shfink!
[Soft wind and waves]
[Panting]
[Kevin] We"ve got about,
27 minutes "till sunrise."
[Laughter]
[Martin] Come on guys!
[Martin] Jared. [Laughing]
[Kevin] Cardio was your thing.
[Jared] I can't run that fast.
Okay, bro.
[Jared] I"ll see you
nerds up there! Huh?
[Martin, laughing] Yo!
This is fucking crazy!
Oh my god.
Oh-oh.
Oh!
[Kevin] My dogs are barking!
[Martin] I'm sorry.
What'd you say?
[Kevin] Woof, my
dogs are barking.
[Kevin] Like, my feet hurt.
[Kevin] It"s a saying.
[Jared] Anyway!
[Kevin] Fuck you
guys, it's a saying!
[Kevin] Shoes?
[Cody] Yeah, may I put them in
your bag?
[Kevin] You may.
[Kevin] So, do we
say a few words or.
Are we just going to go?
[Martin] I believe!!!
[Jared] In a thing called..
Oh shit, Marty we"re flying!
[Kevin] You alright?
[Cody] Yeah.
[Kevin] You ready?
[Cody] Yeah. Yep.
- Hold my hand?
- Sure?
[Cody] Okay, okay.
Wait wait wait wait wait.
Fuck. Sorry, sorry.
- Are you okay?
- Yes. Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yes. Let"s go.
- It's just run and jump.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay we"re going?
Sorry, yeah. Okay, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Fuck!
[Kevin] Okay. You okay?
[Cody] Yeah I"m
okay, are you okay?
[Kevin] Yeah. Are you sure?
[Kevin] Because, like, it does
not seem like it.
I"m okay... I don't
know if I'm okay!
Actually, I don't know. When
you"re 14 this shit is just like
- I know. I know!
- And right now...
- [Martin] Guys!
- One sec!
Look, we can meet them
down there. It"s fine.
No no no, I want to! I want to.
- I want to do it! It"s just...
- Would it help if I,
did this?
Or this?
We got this.
You ready?
Mmhmm.
[Gentle music rises]
Okay.
We go this time.
[Cody nervously] Yes.
- [Kevin] On three.
- [Cody] Okay.
[Kevin] Two.
[Kevin] One!!! Oh shit!
[Laughter and cheering]
[Waves lapping]
[Martin] Almost. Almost, no.
[Martin] I'm on time.
Like, it"s not like
I promised to be like
with anybody.
[Jared] They"re just...
[Martin] Yeah.
Better not to say.
Somebody might hear.
[Chuckles]
[Martin grunts]
[Martin] Everything's
a fight for me, Jay!
I'll fight you, rock!
I'll fight you, sun!
Indiscriminate...
demonic beings!
I'll fight you!
[Jared] Then I'll fight them
with you too, man.
You know we can talk
about whatever, though?
You know that, right?
[Martin] Yeah, man.
Honestly, it's
it's nothing. It's just me.
I don't.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Well, I don't know
why I insist on
talking to people while
I'm brushing my teeth.
Maybe it's because I like it.
I think it's fun.
Well, it's a great litmus
test to see how well
someone knows you.
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
I mean, if you can communicate
effectively using just "mmmm" s.
It's pretty good.
Mmmm.
Mmm.
- Mmmmmmm!
- Mmmmmmm!
[Kevin] They formed at the end
of the last ice age.
Thousands of feet
of ice covered this.
[Cody] They're so impressive.
[Kevin] They get their name from
an old Ojibway legend.
Legend of the Leaping Bear.
So there's this
enormous fire and,
a mother bear and her
cubs ran to the shore.
This is actually
kind of a sad story,
but I"m going to
tell you anyway,
So there was this enormous fire,
and the mother bear amd her
cubs ran from the forest.
The cubs fell behind when
they were crossing the lake.
And the mother bear died waiting
for them on the other side.
Manitou, the great spirit
was so moved by the mother bear,
that she raised an island
for the resting place of each
cubs, commemorating them.
[Cody] A physical reminder.
That's so sad.
Not just the cubs,
but the mother bear.
How she couldn't
live after that.
[Kevin] Yeah.
Okay, so this is hypothetical.
[Cody] Ooh! [Kevin] What?
[Cody] No no no no.
Sorry yes, hypothetical.
[Kevin] Yes, a note. [Cody] Yes.
So let's say a series
of events happened
and we end up with a house here.
[Cody] In the hypothetical?
[Kevin] No, we
live in that house,
we have all the little
kiddos and all that.
But, Marty and Jay
do not live with us.
[Cody] Okay yeah, let's do it.
Hypothetically.
[Kevin] Yeah. I"d
settle for a porch swing
a series of particular events
you need to unfold for this...
- [Cody] Right! And if they
do... - Great.
[Kevin] Then it's great!
And if they don't?
[Cody] Hey, we had a great run.
[Kevin] Yeah. We
had a fantastic run.
[Cody] But we can't be one of
those couples!
[Kevin] No, no, no.
But not like we"re trying.
So in this hypothetical, -Yes.
While we are hypothesising.
What does the place look like?
Mmmm. Well,
Hypothetically, I mean,
while we"re dreaming,
something overlooking the lake.
Mmhmm.
And on a hill! I need a
hill to roll down, otherwise.
- Then what"s the point?
- Exactly.
Somewhere with trees, yeah?
Yeah, trees.
So, it can be
surrounded by trees,
and it feels like
it has a secret.
Somehow make people
want to look in,
And see what our family's doing.
And somewhere that's
been there a while.
Yeah.
Someplace with a story.
And we'll have our
friends over and I'll say,
"Hon, why don't you tell the
story of this here home?"
Because in this hypothetical,
we've developed
southern accents,
and you'll go,
"No, no, you tell it better."
and I'll say, "Fine,
we"ll tell it together."
And then our friends
will just puke
because we're just
so fucking cute.
[Laughing]
Yeah, something like that.
What?
[Martin] Yo!
How far home?
[Jared] Oh, I like
this. This is pretty.
We should build a house here.
2.5 miles.
[Martin] On land, Kevin.
Oh, uh...
Like sss... no, 12.4.
[Martin] God damn.
[Jared] It's nature man.
It's nature!
[Martin] There is
time in nature.
[Jared] That's true.
[Martin] Observe the sun.
[Cody] ...Man!
[Cody laughs]
[Jared] All right, um.
Name something more
timeless than the sun.
[Martin] Touche.
There"s actually a dust on earth
that"s older than the sun,
from like, 8% of
grains in existence.
[Jared] Yeah, no.
Thank you, Kev.
Yeah, I was looking
for a literal response.
[Kevin] You"re welcome.
[Jared] Thank you.
[Kevin] You"re welcome.
[Jared] I thank you!
[Kevin] It"s actually...
[Cody] Oh my god!
[Jared] Aahh!
Oh my god!
[Kevin] That is so cold!
[Jared] Thank you.
[Kevin] Okay. [Jared]
Oh, you"re dead!
[Cody] Hey!!!
[Splashing and laughing]
[Jared] Hey, where"s
Martin?! Get him!
[Cody] Quit it!
[Martin] You guys? [Jared] Stop.
[Jared] I quit! I quit,
I quit, I quit, I quit.
[Cody] Ah!
[Jared] Do that one more time
some fucking...
[Martin] Boom!
[Jared] You can't even take me
down, dawg!
[Laughing]
[Jared] You can't even take me
down, dawg!!!
[Kevin] Oh my god,
it get"s colder!
[Martin] Towel me!
Towel me, please!
[Jared] Bro, who has towels?
[Martin] Okay, towel.
[Jared] Who are you talking to?
[Cody] Who are you talking to?
[Jared] Who are you taking to?
[Voices grow distant]
[Gentle piano]
[Wind rustling]
[Marylou] Hey, bud.
Hello.
Pancakes?
Mmmm.
You can make them.
Oh, but I'm lazy.
Ohh.
The guys sleeping?
It's been good.
Having everyone here.
What's up today?
[Steve] It's going to storm.
Felt it on the
water this morning.
Petrichor.
What"s that, bud?
Uh, the smell of electricity
in the air before storm.
It"s called pet rich or.
Cool.
[Thunder rumbles] [Rain outside]
Lazy day.
Dad?
Dad?
Dad!
Did the light
impair your hearing?
How are you reading that?
I got special powers, man.
You got special powers...
You're a man who can't
hear and wears glasses.
What special powers do you have?
It"s these glasses.
They're amazing.
- Respect.
- They"re that good?
- They're incredible.
- What... where... when,
when did you get them?
I can see through this paper.
[Distant thunder]
[Marylou] And when
does school start?
[Cody] Two days after I leave.
Oh, thank you for
the recommendation.
You're welcome.
Hey, when you're running things,
Oh I won"t forget about you.
Okay, cool.
Because, you know,
I gotta make sure
I'm taken care of.
Oh, yeah. This guy Steve...
Oh, yeah. I mean,
who knows with him, right?
Kev and Steve are twins.
Oh, yeah.
That was, um, "78?"
Yeah, seventy eight or nine.
The Michigan varsity
field hockey game.
Yeah. Yeah.
Steve and our best friend
Mike came see me play.
[Steve scoffs]
And that little detail of you
rejecting my first
marriage proposal
- at the end of the game.
- Ooh.
What?
- [Steve] Just a little detail.
- Mary Lou!
Cody, we had been
dating three weeks!
This guy didn't
even have a ring.
Steve.
[Martin] Wooof!
Way to go before you're ready.
Mmm, 10 to 1 Crash and burn.
[Marylou] Mmhmm.
- [Cody] How many attempts?
- Two.
However many times we
broke up in college.
Twenty four.
And graduation, right?
Oh ho ho... He was ready!
Cody, I was ready.
I had my plan. I had the ring.
No doubt whatsoever.
I dropped down on one knee.
Crash and burn?
Rejected. Attempt 23.
Yeah, she wasn't ready.
It's tough to do.
[Steve] But what are you going
to do, right?
That's it. Game over.
That's just the kind of thing
that everybody was saying,
including her.
So, I agreed.
I said I agreed, and I
smiled and I nodded my head,
what have you.
But, you know, you were the one.
There's no doubt whatsoever.
And it was like two years and
eighteen days.
[Steve] It didn"t matter!
I was in Chicago,
I"d just got back.
I was taking the
train to work, and um.
There she was.
Right there, walking.
And she's doing her
little fast walk.
- You know? Her little fast
walk. - People to see. People to
see.
So anyway, she's going to
the train station, and uh
I start running after her.
The train is rumbling overhead
so
I start sprinting.
And I jumped over the counter
and I leapt up the stairs!
- You jumped it?
- [Steve] Like it was nothin!
Well, he had the
wings of love under his feet.
[Steve] Oh, I could
feel the tweet tweet.
Well he was 25. You know?
- Yeah.
- He"s a young man.
[Steve] I was younger
than now, possibly.
[Laughter] So. Yeah.
So I jumped the counter
and I lept up the stairs.
And at that point, you know,
there's the train and
it"s starting to go.
[Jared] Right right right.
And just in time, I
wedge open the doors
of that car, and I step
in and I look around,
and there you were,
- Looking at you.
- I...
[Steve] So I had to collect
myself. Took me a second.
And, uh. I walked
right up to you.
- Right.?
- Mmm.
You were looking at
me the whole time.
Uh huh.
Yeah. And I looked at
you right in the eyes.
And then what did I say?
You said, "Come here often?"
Ooooh.
[Steve] That's all I could think
of. Because you were, like
I was so mesmerized.
But, yeah, so,
Two years and 18 days since
we last saw each other. Yeah.
When you're ready.
[Marylou] The universe...
[Steve] When we were ready.
Yeah, the universe, man,
brought us together.
Yep.
Well, mmm, I don't know
about all that cosmic
karma stuff.
But
my love.
[Marylou] What's going on here?
[Martin] Uh oh.
[Kevin] Oh no no no.
Oh, no.
[Marylou] Oh no.
Since you mentioned
the universe,
I'd have to agree.
Guess what?
Dipping you...
[Marylou gasps and laughs]
[Steve] Mmmm!
[Cody] I saw it
coming. [Chuckling]
[Fire crackling]
[Steve] Hhmm.
[Cody] I know where
we are. [Steve] Oh.
Chapter 28.
The beset princess held the
quiet knight in her arms.
Fear not the northern colds,
nor the westerly winds
and southern snows.
Fear not the everlasting east,
For the physical realms of earth
are not the ties that bind.
If I remember.
She inquired,
is all I am a memory?
To remember is to
know what once was
will never be again.
So in this realm I stay
and shall sleep until once
again in your embrace,
true and fair.
Kev?
[Birds singing outside]
[Door opens]
[Gentle breeze]
[Cicadas singing]
[Waves lapping]
[Peaceful music rises]
[Peaceful music fades]
[Waves lapping]
[Jared] And that's this.
[Martin] Ugh. You
kidding me? Come on.
[Jared] One moves.
[Martin] Okay.
[Jared] Very nice.
But... [Martin sighs]
I"m mad-duh.
[Jared] And I know
what that means.
But you got to be ten
steps ahead, baby.
[Martin laughs]
[Jared] It's...
[Martin] Well, you got to learn
your words, man.
[Jared] You can't do that.
That's a... that's a check.
[Martin] That's a check?
[Jared] That's a check.
[Martin] What, am I going to get
paid or something?
[Jared laughs]
[Jared] If I was you,
I'd just take it.
There's not much I
can do, you know?
[Door opens]
[Martin] Yeah, but I don't know,
"you've been kind of
rock in" my world.
[Cody] I got pretty far in the
book last night.
Kev?
Hhmm?
In Stardust Compendium.
I read a little today, too.
Oh, reading ahead.
Cool. How"d you like it?
I do like it. Yeah.
Not a fan of this
princess anymore, though.
And her choices
to stay under some
spell over reality.
Right?
Well,
it is a children's book.
Still cowardly? No.
I mean, I don't know,
But if you did?
Well she made a choice,
reality didn"t give her one.
Yeah, the wrong choice.
But that's your opinion.
I'm aware of that.
[Cody] What?
[Kevin] What are you doing?
Cody.
[Water splashing]
[Cody breathing heavily]
[Kevin] A choice
doesn"t define someone.
[Cody] It can.
She has the memory,
to choose that over living...
[Kevin] Maybe it
wasn't enough for her.
[Cody] What if it has to be?
[Kevin] Cody.
[Cody] Kev!
[Kevin] Why are we
talking about this?
[Cody] Shouldn't we?
Shouldn't we be
talking about this?
No, no. Just wait.
Just wait.
For what?
[Gentle music]
[Try to Remember
by Hayes Bradley]
[Indistict chatter]
[Steve] Alright you guys, take
care of yourself!
We"re getting down
to business here.
[Marylou] Ah, the testosterone.
[Steve] And a one, and a two,
Tres.
[Grunting and straining]
[Steve] Look at
that, an early start!
[Overlapping conversations]
[Steve] Oh!
[Jared] Come on. Just
let it... just do it!
Just end my... just do it!
Just do it!!!
- Boom!
- Ahhh!
[Everyone cheering]
[Marylou] So soon?
[Overlapping conversation]
[Steve] Next year...
[Everyone cheering] Oohh!
[Clapping and cheering]
[Steve] Yes! Yeah!
[Martin] It's good
to see you again!
[Conversations overlapping]
[Steve] Ow. Ow.
[Marylou] It's a
self-service breakfast.
So just...
[Martin] Get a little.
[Steve] I got to
take a nap. I"m done.
[Birds singing]
[Cody] How about that?
[Kevin] That is
definitely immoral.
[Cody] Mmm but not unethical.
[Kevin] Illegal?
- Mmhmm.
- Maybe.
[Playful bite sound] Oh...
[Car hoking]
Hi!!!
[Baba] Oh, hello!
[Cody] What's shakin?
[Laughing]
Nothing but the leaves
on the summer trees!
Aw!
[Baba] How are you, darlin?
[Cody] I"m great! How are you?
Where are you?
[Baba] Well,
last week I spent doing yoga
at a hot house in Iceland.
And now I'm with
my favorite people,
So I'm doing all right.
This hair! [Lauhgs]
Well hi.
Precious boy.
Precious Baba.
I don't like that hair.
Oh.
[Marylou] Mom!
Oh no, it's fine.
This is our thing.
I live my life, and she tells me
what she thinks of my choices.
Ah, welcome to my world.
Mwah!
[Thoughtful piano]
You flew with this?
[Laughter]
"Cause, yeah"
"cause Chris is the
greatest Schmidt ever."
- Exactly.
- Was the best Schmidt.
[Jared] Is the best Schmidt.
[Chris] Debatable.
Andy, Chris...
What's married life like?
[Chris] Mmm!
Tell "em, Babe."
Oh god.
I think,
like, when we were
your guys's age,
I don't think either one of us
would have expected that
the Sunday Farmer's Market
would be the
highlight of our life!
[Laughter]
There's this one stand, guys,
that has, like, over 23
different kinds of mushrooms.
- [Laughing and exclaiming]
- Wow.
- They"re so good.
- I love that!
- Oh my god I love that.
- It is amazing!
[Laughing]
So that's 30.
Thirty and married, baby!
I mean, aren"t you like 50?
[Laughing] Hey!
Forty!
Forty!
You child.
It"s a beautiful existence.
I'm not complaining.
[Kevin] Well we do have the
mushrooms to thank for our
existence, so.
- Really?
- What?
Hmm?
"Cause the dinosaurs."
What?!
[Chris laughs]
The dinosaurs. Really?
[Cody] Oh, that fills us in.
Say more. [Cody] Kev! Help!
Yeah, we heard
you say dinosaurs.
What does that have to
do with the mushrooms?
Oh, because when the meteor
came in and killed them all,
I mean, we could say what a
high degree of certainty that
there was a fungal bloom, swept
the land, took hold of them,
because they're
because they're cold blooded.
And the fungal blooms
like "blaaarg!"
and you know, went into their
dead, dumb, reptile brains.
-Why are you laughing? What-
-[Pounding]
[Steve] What"s
going on in here?!
Oh, damn... Um,
they're explaining the mushrooms
and the dinosaurs to me.
- So Jay...
- That"s a true story!
"Cause that" s a true story...
keeping tell that story...
[Marylou] What is
happening in there?
[Steve] Everything"s fine!
We"re fine, we"re going.
[Marylou] Are you sure?
[Steve] Yesss. Our children,
they are degenerates.
[Tapping on glass]
[Overlapping conversations]
[Marylou] I just want to say
thank you to our
chefs de cuisine for whipping
up this delicious feast for us.
Thank you, Chef.
Absolutely. It was our pleasure.
[Boys cheering] Andy!!!
And thank you to Andy
and Chris for flying in.
And to Mom for
flying in from where?
Reykjavik.
Yep.
Oh, I have great photos
of the West Fjord ice caves.
I can you show
them to you later?
Yep.
And Cody.
Four years up here...
Yes.
And Kevvy.
19 years with the
human gestation cycle.
Many years.
And thank you to the boys
for being so helpful.
[Chris] To the boys.
[Marylou] Cheers.
[All] Cheers.
[Jared] To the boys.
[Andy] Cheers.
To life.
[Marylou] Well, we, um.
We're missing one.
But I feel like he's with us,
telling us to relax
and enjoy the sunset.
Yeah?
Hands behind his back,
admiring... everything!
[Laughing]
Me and my sisters growing up,
seven of us in a house,
there was never enough time to
do all the things
you wanted to do before bed!
And dad would say, "It's cool."
"You got time tomorrow."
And then growing up,
well,
there was never enough time
for everything, you know,
all the work and
the stuff, whatever.
And we were like, "Aaghh,
if only we had more time!"
And dad said,
"Yeah, hold on."
"I don't know, I."
"I don't think we
need more time."
"And, we're... we're not
we're not getting any more, so"
"don't waste time wish in"."
So then I was like,
"Okay, make the
most of the time."
"Do as much as you can! Got it!"
Yeah?
And then being up here
with all our favorite people...
It makes sense.
It really makes sense
what he was saying.
What we all need, what we
we all really need.
[Baba] Oh, check
out your "gramps."
That's Bert?
That"s Bert!
We did our own, mind you.
And when I close my eyes
and think about him,
I"m back in the summer of
"46, when we first met,
before he was that
cool guy there.
County fair.
There was this boy
running at full speed.
He slams into me,
knocks me over!
I slap into the dirt.
He falls on me!
Ice cream smooshed,
dress ruined.
And he just smiles
and says, "Oops."
"Double scoop?"
It's silly, but yeah.
Did you buy you another one?
You bet!
He had to borrow
money from his mother.
Fifty four years of marriage
a lifetime of memories,
and yet that's the one
crystallized in my mind...
Clear as day! Just
by closing my eyes.
But the feeling of
him never goes away.
It's the same now as it was
when we first met,
when we ran off to spend
our lives together.
It was totally irrational,
but absolutely the
best thing we ever did.
What Lou is talking
about, that time thing?
That was true.
He knew something, that guy.
What?
That what we need is
more stillness.
Listen.
Songs in the air.
A whisper in the wind.
[Soft wind through branches,
wind chimes]
- Evening, family!
- Can we use the car?
[Steve] Uh, keys are...
[Marylou] Oh, whatcha up to?
"Venturin"! [Marylou] Cool!
Uh, Steve! Can I borrow a shirt?
Sure.
- Uh... Cody, help me?
- Yeah!
[Marylou] Your grandmother, she
leaves tomorrow.
Yeah, I know, and I
promise I'll listen to her
despite all her
unfiltered criticism.
- [Marylou] Encouragement!
- The fuck are these keys?!
- [Marylou] Kev!
- Yeah, something that says
I'm available, but I
also have a secret?
- Yeah.
- What secret?
- Jay likes Annie!
- No no shhhh!
What?! [Marylou gasps]
[Steve] I will say this,
Jay Man. Go for it!
- Thank you.
- You"re welcome.
And thank you for
the shirt, Sir Steve.
Keys were on the mantle, why
don"t you start?
- Go. Go go go go go go go go!
- Thank you!
Goodnight!
[Marylou] Goodnight, you guys!
I promise nothing illegal,
immoral, and blah blah blah!
- [All shouting]
- Shotgun!!! [Kevin] Nope!
[Jared] Why does Cody
always get shotgun?
[Kevin] Because I'm
a fucking gentleman.
[Steve and Marylou sigh]
[Steve] They leave so soon.
[Marylou sighs]
[I think I Like It When
It Rains by Willis]
Dawg.
I think your shirt's
on backwards.
Is it?
Yeah it's definitely
on backwards. [Laughs]
Well maybe I can just
walk around all night like.
"Hello."
- "Hello!"
- "Hello, sir."
[Laughing] "Honored
to meet you."
[Jared] Very good.
Walk backwards, yeah!
Flick off some lights!
[Both] Backwards
man! Backwards man!
[Laughing]
I"ll turn it around.
Thank God.
[Jared] Oh and...
What is it, a stain?
I can, cover it
up with something.
Do I just put my
mom"s shirt over it?
I think you should.
[Kevin] Do you think she's gonna
know I took it?
[Jared] She's definitely
gonna know. But you should...
You should definitely wear that.
Hey, can I borrow those
pants that are on the couch?
They're going to be tight.
Oh, tight tight!
Yeah, just put it on.
It's Annie's party.
This is like it for us.
Hey, you're doing it for me.
Uh!
Uh!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You look like a prince bro. Oh!
[Martin] Guess who!!!
Hey!
Wooow.
Oh yeah, you like that?
- Ready?

Here we go.
Oh my god.
[Martin coughing]
I'm so happy.
- You enjoyed that?
- I"m a...
Those are terrible, no. I will
never do that again in my life.
- Certainly not tonight.
- No never again...
Maybe I'm older but, I'm not.
[Martin] Noted.
My god, tastes like paint.
[Mystery of Me by RIP Dunes]

Our sober hearts drew us to you.
Like a friendship beam.
[Girls laughing]
[Annie] Come on!
I know I should be, um.
Bro.
You don't have to be anything
other than exactly what you are.
Real men feel, Kev.
Feel what?
Exactly.

[Kevin, whispering]
I"m going to miss you so much.
[Sentimental music grows]
[Kevin softly sobbing]
[Both laughing]
[Kevin] May I have this dance?

A little sippy sip?
Mmm. Good job.
Very good.
Mmhmm!
- Did I make this?
- Mm-mm.
- Did you make this?
- Mm-mm.
Who made this?
I don't know.
Is it good?
Amazing!
[Dreamlike music]
[Reflective piano]
Hey.
Sleepy time.
Oh, you"re a sleepy little wolf.
- Aawooooo.
- Aawoooo.
We... we didn"t, um.
Huh?
We... uh, we didn"t
finish the book.
We will.
[Kevin sighs]
[Cody sighs]
Oh.

[Marylou] Kev?
Yeah.
Looks good out there.
[Steve] Last day.
You guys wanna boat today?
- Definitely.
- Nice.
I think we"re gonna go out into
town and pick up some gifts and
stuff, but is the
boat at three okay?
[Steve] Mmhmm.
Can we use the bikes too?
[Marylou] Mmm. Yeah.
Sabrina does it again.

[Cody] So what do
you want to do now?
[Kevin] Mmm.
Name me a standout
memory from 5th grade.
Kicking Jenny Hentler's
ass in the class debate.
Oh, my god, Kev,
this girl had no shot.
We were trying to
figure out what to do
with our free class period,
and I suggested and petitioned
that we get more recess time.
Mmhmm.
Mmhmm.
And I won it.
So.
Wow. I"m so proud.
Are you?
Yeah.
Mmm.
I saw that animals are going
to die therefore so are we,
so I asked my mom.
"Am I going to die?"
And she was like, "Yeah."
But it didn't really
make me scared.
It was more...
Annoying?
[Cody] Do you see my teeth?
[Kevin] I see "em."
[Cody] Are they white?
Are they sparkly?
[Kevin] Yeah, they"re... Well.
- Wait, put your head up.
- Yeah.
- Do you see mine? - Okay now I
only see your teeth.
- [Kevin] Are they? Are they...
- They"re sparkling.
They"re sparkling? [Cody] Yes.
[Cody] We"re you too busy?
[Kevin] For the people I love
I"m always available.
- Mmmm.
- For those I don"t,
sometimes I'm busy.
Not doing shit.
Exactly.
Mmhmm.
I have
12 to 14 people who
matter. That"s it.
- That is efficient.
- Efficient. Yeah.
[Yawning] Very efficient.
Mmmmm.
I"m awake.
You"re sleeping.
Go to sleep, little wolf.
[Cody, whispering] Kev?
[Kevin] Mm?
[Cody] Kev.
[Kevin] Hm.
[Cody] Kev!
[Kevin] What?
[Cody] Come on.
[Tent zipper opens]
[Footsteps running]
Cody! Why are we always racing?
Cody!
[Cody] Ugh! Fuck! I can't.
[Breathing heavily]
[Quiet laugh]
[Quiet laugh]
Let"s jump in.
Alright.
[Both laughing]
I've seen you here before.
[Cody laughs]
[Kevin] I know.
[Cody] No.
It just happened so fast.
And now it"s just...
Everything's going to be.
I just.
I love you, Kev.
And I hate not..
Knowing.
I know, I know.
Liar.
The only lie.
I ever told you.
Was the first week we met.
I told you I liked you.
But I already knew.
I already knew.
I know.
[Quiet laugh]
[Soft music]
[Soft music growing]
[Waves lap]
Oh. Safe travels.
- Hhmm? Safe travels.
- Thank you.
Thanksgiving? It's nothing.
[Cody] Mmm.
Sir Steve.
[Steve sighs]
[Steve] Yeah.
Boys. [Sighs]
Cody Bear.
- Heeey.
- Boys.
[Martin] We're good.
You cool? [Jared] Super cool.
- Coool.
- Hhmm.
Cool as ice.
You guys come here.
We love you, Cody.
[Cody] Mmmm.
Not me.
Aw.
[Jared] Love you.
Take care.
Well.
See ya.
See ya.
[Marylou] Aoh.
[Keys jingle]
[Engine starts]
[Engine stops]
Okay look, I lied to twice!
This plan of ours...
- It sucks! I hate it.
- I know! And it just...
- Why didn"t you say anything?!
- I don"t want to do it.
- I said everything!
- You didn't say anything!
Yeah but I said everything.
What?!
Collectively!
No, we... we're not
one of these couples!
No! Oh, my god, I
know one of those couples
I don't even know what
that meant! I"m sorry!
I know, I know! I know.
We're awesome!
Concur! So... what
do you want to do?
I want to... I... okay.
Okay, what about your
4 year plan thing?
Yes. Yes. College.
Do that. Be together.
- Yes.
- Logical as shit!
- And we can do that!
- Yeah!
It's so... logical.
- Oh, do we... call?
- Yeah!
Okay but what if... what if...
What if I call you and you're
with some girl or something?
Realistically, I mean,
I wouldn't answer.
I just wait until I
can call you back,
but you probably ask
what I was doing,
and I'm not gonna lie to you!
And...
And now we're just getting
into technicalities,
and I don't even want to...
Look, I'm just trying to
answer your hypothetical.
- It"s the same if...
- Oh my gaaa... okay okay okay!
What if we"re...
we"re... we"re... what... um.
What if we"re just together
- summers.
- Yes.
- And like, on breaks.
- Yes.
Let"s be together
when we can be.
- Efficient. Yes.
- You know?
Yeah, exactly! It"s efficient!
It"s r... it... I"d be... why...
Why create all this additional
fucking heartache...
Why?
For ourselves as opposed to
living in the moment
when we're together!
And being apart
when we're apart.
Fuck.
What? No, what? What?
We could do that! We could...
That's... that"s
smart! We can do that.
Dumb.
I know.
So what do we do?
Be together?
[Laughing]
We don't have a plan.
We"ll wing it.
Wing it, my dear!
[Laughs]
Want a ride?
No, thanks. I think I'm gonna...
Oh.
- Yeah.
- Oh okay.
Do that.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Yes.
Next day, too?
There"s a high probability.
Good.
You got this.
We.
We.
Yeah.
Shvink!
[Cody laughs]
Onward!
[Engine starts]
Awooooo!
[Quiet, bittersweet music]
[Howls like a wolf]
[Quiet music continues]
[An Autumn Summer Main Theme

[Car horn honks playfully]
[Steve] So what? Buttons.
What do you got?
[Marylou, laughing] No!
[Background chatter]
[Jared] You look so good!
[Jared] Oh! [Baba] Thank you!
[Baba] Oh it"s been forever!
[Jared] It"s been too long.
But I want to hear
all about it inside!
[Kevin] Did you plan this?
Arriving at the same time?
[Jared] Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
We"re connected by fate.
- Mmhmm.
- Yeah.
You look good!
- Oh.
- Come on.
Hello?
[Jared] Steve!!!
[Steve] Oh, here
come the others!
[Marylou] Oh, well hello!
[Steve] Get in there and get the
brocolli ready!
[Baba] Precious boy.
[Kevin] Precious Baba.
You know, I'm
liking that earring.
- You do?
- Mmhmm.
Very surprising.
Well, the hair is kind
of growing on me, too.
That"s funny, I was actually
going to say you should do
something about yours.
- Everyone's in the kitchen.
- Oh, thanks.
[Marylou] And what are you up to
on the weekend?
[Marylou] With some friends?
[Marylou] Cool.
[Marylou] Are you going to go
home at all?
[Marylou] Well nothing illegal,
immoral, or unethical.
[Laughs]
[Marylou] You can always count
on me to say that.
[Marylou] Yeah, but you can
still have some fun.
[Marylou] I have faith in you.
[Marylou] You can do it.
[Marylou, laughing] Okay.
[Marylou] Here he is.
Hello?
Hi. Uh.
[Family talking
loudly] Uh, one sec.
Um.
Hi.
[Cody] Um, hi! That was 14 secs.
[Kevin laughs]
Apologies, t"was uh...
T"was the dinner chaos.
[Cody] So, do you have a minute?
Yeah.
[Cody] You're sure
you're not busy?
No. No, not at all.
I'm entirely useless
until we carry the tables,
anyway. So I have at least, uh.
At least 14 minutes.
[Cody] Cool.
[Cody] So how are you?
I mean, um.
How... What...
What have you been
doing all summer?
You know.
[Cody] Yeah.
Uh.
Can I ask you a question?
[Cody] May you.
Mmmm. I walked into that one.
[Cody]Yes you did. Yes, you did.
Wow, sorry. But your question.
Yes, um.
Why do people say
"a whole " nother"?
Cause, expanding that
it"s "a whole another"
which um
which makes no sense.
[Cody] Well,
as a fan of efficiency,
I feel like you
like the apostrophe.
That's a... that's true.
Apostrophes are
efficient as fuck.
- Cody, I...
- [Cody] You know...
What? [Cody] No, you go.
No. Um, no, you.
[Cody] I... nothing.
I was just going to say that.
We never finished the book.

[Jared] Yeah well now
I'm all hopped up.
[Cody] You"re all hopped up??
[Marylou] So, summer good?
Nothing illegal,
immoral, or unethical?
- Mary Lou!
- No way!
[Steve] Cody, did you see on the
way in...?
[Cody] I did, yes I did!
[Steve] I specifically
fixed that hoop
for our little rematch.
[Cody] Oh, yeah? So where is he?
[Jared] Yeah. Where's boy-o?
[Martin] KEVIN!
[Steve] Is he in town?
[in an impish voice]
What are you doing in my woods?
Rah!
Oh I see you!
[Jared] Oh, this.
[laughing]
Hey.
- Hey.
- What's up?
Nothing.
[yelling and laughing]
Whoa! Chill! Down, boy!
Chill! Chill. [Laughs]
[Jared] Chill?! I can't chill.
I'm haven"t seen this
boy in three months,
and the first thing he
tells me is to chill??
What are you doing?
[yelling and grunting]
Oh shit! Ah! Ha!
We"re here!!!
I missed you guys.
You guys wanna go for a swim?
- Yes, I do.
- Hell, yeah.
- Yeah, let"s do it.
- Yes I do...
Come on!
[Martin] Let's go! Let's go!!
Thank you! [Martin] Let's go!!!
[laughing]
[Martin] Thank you.
You're welcome.
I"m doing my dish duty now
before everyone gets here.
[Martin] Okay, Kevin.
See, that's why you just say
"you"re welcome."
Tact?
[Steve] Moo Moo Cachoo...
Mackinaw Island Fudge...
[Martin] Let"s see it.
[Steve] And vanilla...
[Jared] Ooooo.
[Steve] Stories and sundaes to
celebrate our union?
Definitely.
[Steve] Hey, thanks
for cleaning up.
You're welcome.
[gentle piano]
[laughing]
[Cody] Three summers ago,
we read that after
summer after freshman year.
[silent mimmicking]
Oh boy, I got you.
[chatter]
[Martin] What "s he
got, what" s he got?
What"s that, an encyclopedia?
- It looks chonky.
- A tale from a time
long ago.
[Marylou] Your fave!
- No.
- No?
[Kevin] We"re not going to
finish it in a month anyway.
Aw...
[Jared] We"re not gonna finish
that in a year.
"The Stardust Compendium."
This is your favorite book?
[Marylou] Okay...
From the ages of,
like, 3 to 8 and a half. Yeah.
[Martin] Then he matured.
You loved that princess!
[Kevin] Mom.
[Marylou] Kev!
Cody, he used to come into our
room with his little blankie
over his shoulder,
"Mommy, Daddy,
read the princess."
- "The princess!"
- "Read the princess!"
Oh you"re so adorable bro!
This is really cutting into the,
masculine identity I've
been cultivating here.
- [Martin] Oh, hey hey hey hey.
- [Cody] Read the princess?
[Martin] Real men feel.
[laughing]
Please?
I"ll read 70% of the time.
Okay, okay.
Real men feel what?
Exactly.
Chapter one.
"Have I told you?"
"Have I told you this dream?"
"the bold young princess
asked the quiet knight."
"A dream of fallen stars."
"The far reaches of time."
"And I dreamed
what you dreamed."
"Wanted what you wanted."
"How far will we go?"
"Stardust to stardust?"
"For the stars are limitless."
"Infinite as my love,"
"everlasting,"
"and incalculable."
Okay.
[sighs]
[Cody giggling]
[whispering and moaning]
[Kevin] Fu.
- [Cody] Is it...?
- [Kevin] Fuck...
[Kevin] Fuck.
My bad.
[Cody] Impressive.
[Kevin] What?
[Cody] World records
are impressive.
[Kevin sighs]
[Cody] No no no no no no.
Hey.
[Cody laughs]
[Cody] I knew I'd
seen you here before.
[Kevin] In these woods?
[Cody] You're Kevin.
Kevin Wolf Schmidt.
[Kevin] Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well my woodland friends
call me The Wolf.
[Cody] Yeah. I"ve
seen you prowling.
[Kevin] Well, I do prowl every
third Saturday
of the month when the moon
is highest, so, that must
be what you"re thinking about.
[Cody] Must be.
[crickets chirping]
I don't know why.
I thought this place
would be different.
Or, yeah, I don't know.
What would be different?
Nothing.
It doesn't even make sense.
Okay! It's like
this place doesn't even
exist until you're here.
Right?
And then, it doesn't even matter
what happened or
what you did, or...
See? I don't even know! [Laughs]
Well, it's definitely
more boring
when you're not here.
Wow. Thank you.
You're welcome.
I don't care if we do
29 days of absolutely nothing.
- Nope.
- Yes.
And you know what I'm going to
say, dune climb at sunrise.
You're the one who
can't get up at 4am!
I know! But I will!
Yeah, but I am also
too lazy to get up at 4am.
We can do it.
I mean, I see no evidence why
this year will be different, but
okay.
Well, I'm going to do it.
I support your endeavors.
[contented sigh]
Oh.
Oh?
The smell of
electricity in the air
before a storm.
It's called pet rich or.
Can I tell you something?
Yeah.
Hhmm.
What?
- What?
- Nope.
Nope.
[howls playfully]
Sshhh!
You're a wolf!
I'm wolf in discretion.
Howl.
Awwooo.
In what world is that a howl?
In discretionary wolf world.
Please.
We have very strict ordinance
ordinances.
Howl for me, little
big wolf!
Strong, sweet, beautiful wolf.
Who I may have
missed just a little.
[howling loudly]
70 days.
Nine hours and
27 minutes.
Never again?
Never.

[grasshoppers sing]
[Mystery of Time by Dopplar]
[Kevin] Hey, Post Master Joe.
[birds singing]
[Kevin howls joyfully]
[Steve] That's a big decision.
[Martin] Huge decision.
But honestly, I'll
just step away from it,
take a breather... You know?
[Steve] Mm. Yeah.
So, what"re you think in,
a year? [Martin] Oh, jeez.
I don't know,
the majority of my life
has been school, so
I just kinda wanna try some
not-school for a while.
Mmhmm, so some not-school.
[Martin] Yes!
Absolutely. Absolutely.
[Martin] I"m pretty sure school
feels the same way about me.
[Marylou] I"ll say,
"Martina and I spoke"
"and he told me that he is
going to stay at home until"
"he"s 35."
"And I think it's a
really smart plan!"
Yeah, you know,
we'll workshop it,
we"ll put a pin in that.
[Laughing]
[Marylou] Hello.
Hello.
[Steve] Morning. [Martin] Hey!
Good morning!
What's up boys?
We're focused.
[Martin] Yeah,
they're on a mission.
[Marylou] Guys.
Looks good out there.
[Whispering]
[Marylou] Kev?
It looks good out there.
Mom.
Chill?
I"m chill!
- Marylou, you're the chillest.
- Right?
- Mmhmm.
- Come on, I mean,
am I not the chillest?
And the illest.
[Laughing] What?
No?
Tough crowd.
Man.
Cody, what is wrong
with these guys?
I don't know.
Mmm!
Can we use the bikes today?
Mmm, that's chill.
[Sighs]
Okay, now we can
have some pancakes.
- Mmm.
- Alright.
[Martin] Here they come.
Here they come now.
- You should feel accomplished.
- [Cody] Come eat.
After you.
- [Cody] Plate.
- Thank you very much.
- Plate.
- Plate.
Thank you very much.
And when you"re not yearning
You decide just what to feel
These days
"I" m living in the city
instead of on the run
[Slaps mailbox]
[Slaps mailbox]
I bet
you"re lying in the shadows
hiding from the sun
[All] Oooohh!!!
[Kevin] Wait. How?
[Empty blowing sound]
[Laughing]
"You" ve got your
world hurting
It"s no secret I can see
Inside your soul is burning
[Waves roar]
for a taste of revelry
These days
"I" m living in the city

I bet
you"re lying in the shadows

[Jared] Oh, what"s a kickstand.
[Kevin] I don't know. [Laughing]
[Marylou] Jared, no
running in the road!
[Martin] County road ends at the
water, Marylou!
[Laughing]
Cody, you know the
story of this Harbor?
[Cody] Mm-mm.
Well, from Alligator
Alley to the shallows,
he gave this to her family,
when he fell in love
with a weaver's daughter.
And, sort of,
a monument to Bolt"s
affection for her.
Now, in 1860, Elena
donated it to the entire
town for everybody to enjoy.
Sort of a enduring monument
to their eternal love.
[Upbeat music]
These days
"I" m living in the city
Come on, take it to 50, Steve!
[Steve] Come on! [Jared] Yeah!!!
[Steve] Here we go!
[Steve] Fifty it is!
[Marylou] Hey, that"s

[Jared] It"s outside the comfort
zone, Marylou!
[Jared] It"s where
the magin happens!
[Martin] Woo!
[Jared] Yeah!
- Woo!
- Aaahhh!!!
Yeah!!!
[All yelling and screaming]
[Martin] I knew this
was gonna start!
[Martin] Ugh, it
makes me go "ough!!!"
And then my muscles tense up.
[Steve] Contractions.
[Martin] Yeah yeah yeah.
[Steve] Contractions
are contractions.
[Jared] That"s so
wild, and crazy.
[Martin] I mean, come on.
[Jared] Oh, man.
- Bo-bouy, your shoulders.
- What?!
[Martin] Oh, Jared...
[Martin] Could you
get that for me?
Outside the comfort zone?
Inside the comfort zone, baby!
[Jared] Amazing.
You guys gonna miss each other?
Oh, no, Marylou. We don't...
Tell her. Let her know.
Time to branch out, right?
[Jared] Ummmm
I like knowing my friends. Okay?
And it's like 14 amazing
beautiful years with these guys.
[Jared] So I'm
cool. Yeah I'm good.
Um, like... Oh, Kev!
- Kev!
- What?
Do I know you?
What?
Do I know you?
Like, the real you.
You don't know shit on a stick
a-Rooney-dooney about me, bro.
- Hmm.
- You see, he loves me.
And there's so
much more to learn.
So my branches are pretty, uh
sprouted to the maximum.
[Marylou] Okay. So no branching.
- That's a negative. Yes.
- None.
And these two?
What the two
lovebirds at the bow?
I mean
Reed and Claremont are close.
Yeah it's a 14 hour and 16
minute drive in light traffic
when leaving at 6 a.m..
So.
[Laughter] What?
How do you know that?
Well, your son told me
this many times over
the last 6 months.
[Marylou] How many times?
- Many.
- Yes.
Oh, so many times.
So, um, yeah. They're cool.
They're good.
You guys cool and good?
[Scoffs]
What, bud?
Uh.
Because, uh
Jay is saying you're
old and empty nesters
I didn"t.
I
I think I wanna kick "your ass!"
Martin!
- [Laughing]
- Whoaa!
- Not before you stretch,
though. - Oh!
Oh, right. A little
stretchy stretch.
Oh, no. It's gonna be
good. It's gonna be good.
It's gonna be great.
Gonna be great.
He's got you guys.
The three musketeers.
[Marylou] The three musketeers.
We"re your musketeers
too, Marylou.
Unequivocally.
Oh.
Yo, K.C.
[Cody] Yo.
[Jared] What are
the plans tonight?
- Ballin".
- Got no plans.
Perfect.
It happens between
the plans, baby.
What happens between the plans?
- Oh, it"s jus that...
- What happens between plans?!
[Martin] Come on, Mary Lou!
- Oh no, oh nooo.
- What happens between plans?!
[Martin] Laaa vidaaa!!!
Oh! Oh now!
Oh reel "em in! Reel" em in!
- Somebody help me!
- Somebody help me!
- Ooohhh!
- Oh, he's like a flying fish!
I"m unequivocally-dancing!
Unequivocally! Okay?
He"s unequivocally-dancing!
I "m falling! I" m
unequivocally falling!
[Clapping and yelling]
[Rhythmic clapping]
[Martin] Get outta here!
[Rhythmic clapping
intensifies] Nooo...
[All] Come on! Dance!
[Cheering!]
[Cheering!]
[Growing ethereal music]
[Music grows, sound fades]
[Distant Cheering]
[Laughing]
"And then the flying knight
felt compelled to speak!"
"Princess! Princess!"
"Dare I say our love
shall be timeless."
Timeless!
[Kevin] Yes! Timeless!
May I go on? I
must say reprimand.
No reprimandations, sir!
Not a words, sir!
You need to learn
your words, sir.
- Keep reading, sir.
- Well, where was I?
- Timeless!
- TIMELESS!
Ah, yes! Timeless!
Timeless! You all get
one candy each for being
such good little listeners.
One for you. Come on.
One for you.
And one for youuu.
[Laughing] What is this voice?!
I
Don't know, but you
get one more candy!
Because, well
well, nobody's ever cared to ask
me about my voice before,
young lady.
Now, where was I?!
- TIMELESS!
- TIMELESS!
Ah, timeless...
We've got this.
An adventure we
have yet to achieve
nay, even dare attempt!
DUNE CLIMB at SUNRISE!
Oooh, dune climb at sunrise!
Now I know what
ya"ll are gonna say.
Every year we say we to do it,
and we never do it.
And it's horseshit.
Because we are a
rock and roll band
with hearts of.
- Balls!
- Fire.
[Cody] Hearts of great balls of
fucking fire!
And this year is going to be
different. Because we are 18,
damn it, and of sound mind
and sound body,
and we have the capacity to
make a plan and stick to it.
So does anybody
have any questions?
Absolutely not.
[Cody] Thank you Martin.
[Cody] Now let's
fucking do this.
[Cody] Gosh darn
it all the hell.
Because this is
something we are never,
ever going to forget.
So who's with me?
Sshhfink!
That was a sword sound.
Anyway.
LET"S DO THIS!!!
[Emphatic cheering!]
Rah!!!
AAHHH!!!
AAHHH!!!
[This Sweet Love by James Yuill]
Hey!
[Chatting]
Be
the greatest man in history
Here we go! Here we go!
You"re doing fine! Honestly!
[Cody screams]
just be
[Splashing and laughing]
Walk
walk out on the
beach with me
[Martin beat boxing]
walk out on the sea with me
just me
[People talking]
[Kevin] Pull back!
[Cody] I"m gonna pull back!
I"m gonna pull back!
[Kevin] Yeah! [Cody]
Wait! Towards me?!
[Kevin] Towards you!
That was not fun!
That was not fun!!!
It"s only boating in pictures!
Sweet love
And oh
how you love
This sweet love
[River babbles]
Where are we?
[Jared] You got to get your
priorities straight.
You got to go to school.
You got to get a job.
- Cut your hair.
- And brush your teeth.
Yeah, son! You gotta brush
your hair and cut your teeth or
you'll end up in the
hills of Sasquatchian
building a fire out of
damp wood! And you"re
frickin cold in a bare ass on a
Tuesday afternoon!
Haaaah!
[All] Hah!
[Martin] Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
[Martin] that sounds
fun, I"ll do that!
[Jared] Then go! Go to Canada.
- It's like right there.
- I will!
You would?
I would. Maybe. Possibly!
- It's, you know...
- Miss you already.
[Martin] Hey, hey,
hey, I said maybe!
Okay? There"s a
big, big if on that.
[Frustrated sigh]
With his autonomy comes
making the decisions.
And my brain is like, "No!"
"Absolutely the fuck not."
"You are too lazy for that."
And I just
I know I don't want to
be the same shit as
without thinking
about what"s next or,
or planning! Or any of that!
It's just all been so fucking...
[Frustrated sound] Right?
- Yes.
- I just want to be out there.
- Yeah that"s...
- I wanna be...
Bare ass in Canada?
Bare ass in Canada!
Maybe.
Of course I still
have feelings about it
that I will unpack later.
[Jared] Yeah, that's cool man.
I mean, you've never been one to
move at other people's tempos.
- I know, because I try.
- So what do you want to do?
I want to fly!
Or something.
Annie!
- [Annie] Cody Bear?!
- Hi! Come here!
- I think we"ve got some
females. - Hi!
- Chill.
- Relax!
[Kevin] Fix your hair.
Oh my...
Guys! Don't mother me.
[Annie] Hi!
- Oh.
- Hi.
[Kevin] Yo.
[Annie] Well, aren't you all
evolving nicely?
[Annie] Hi, boys.
Ann Marie.
[Annie] Ann Marie.
[Cody] How"s school?
Schoolie, man.
Um.
The first couple months felt
eternal, because
everything is new.
You know... dorm,
internship, friends.
But once you get settled in,
you know, everything
just speeds up
and before you know
it, you're back
in the Old Haven none the wiser.
Or maybe the wiser,
who"s to say.
Uh, how are, how
are the parties?
Fine.
Is there reckless hedonism?
Marty, I'm sure you'll have
every success at finding
whatever it is your
little heart desires.
[Kevin] But the hedonism?
Oh, it's a hellscape
of instant gratification.
Mmm.
But once you get
past that, it is
whatever you want it to be.
You know, cool people,
everybody really trying.
It's cool.
Come visit me. All of you.
Yeah, I"ll definitely
take you up on that.
Oh. Sorry, I meant all of them.
[All] Oooh.
[Kevin] Oh my gah.
Sorry.
Can I ask...
Do you have... how
how are the guys?
Short sighted.
Short sighted, I like that.
- Mmm mmm mmm!
- Wow, short sighted.
[Thunder, gentle rain]
[Annie] I think one
miracle happened.
The big bang, a singularity
and everything else is just
math! You know,
moving particles.
[Martin] Wait wait
wait. Okay, but wait.
Doesn't that technically
make everything a miracle?
[Annie] That"s not what I'm
intending to say, no.
[Martin] Okay,
but there's nothing and
an incalculable amount
of cosmic atoms
forms the singularity,
and that happens!
And?
[All] AND?
13.8 Billion years
later, here we are
talking about it.
Right? Like wondering
why and asking how.
Seems pretty miraculous to me.
Well, I mean, I can appreciate
the insane mathematics involved.
Sure, it"s
pretty miraculous.
But to say that
life is a miracle.
That's a cliche.
Well, I love a good cliche.
Oh, fuck.
[Annie] And that's
cool, Bubbaloo.
[Annie] Just accept it.
You know, rebel
yell on the outside.
Live, Laugh, Love
knitting by the fire
in a cozy mustard
cardigan on the inside.
[Snorts]
Zinger.
Okay. [Jared] Zinger!
Okay!
[Annie] Don"t fight
it, embrace it.
[Martin] Okay!
Embrace the inner you.
I accept
okay?
How"s that? I accept
that I am a man
of platitudes.
And!
I am also, very much so,
the human embodiment
of a house cat.
[Jared] You know,
the Crystal River was
pretty pretty.
As we say in my culture, it was
stupid, sparkly.
And, I've always, I
always loved it there.
[Kevin] Are you kidding?
My parents used
to always force us
to go there when
we were younger.
We hated it.
[Jared] Well, I block that out.
Why did you hate it?
They used to have to
put floaties on us
to keep us from getting
in the rip times. It was,
kinda traumatizing.
- The riptides?
- The floaties.
I don't think there's ever
been a rip tide there.
I think they were
just fucking with us.
Well, I appreciate it now.
[Kevin] Is it different now?
[Martin] Nah, no, the thing"s
still the same.
But, I mean, as kids,
we just want to eat ice cream
and throw lit sticks
at each other.
Back then, we chose
fire and ice cream.
And now it's libations
and debauchery.
- [Martin] Oh god.
- And hootenannien.
Hootenannien?
"Hootenannien!"
[Laughter]
Yeah, and we can
hootenanny all we want
now because it's of
our own volition.
[Jared] Hhmm?
[Martin sighs] It's
"on your own terms."
Mmmmmm.
See you got to learn
your words, man.
This is what happens!
I know everything
that I need to know.
Alright, I don't know about
you guys, but I learned this
long ago.
Ah, enlighten us.
Oh, no. Sorry. Can't.
- What? No, please.
- Can"t jinx it.
- Nope. Sorry.
- Please! Enlighten us.
Okay, well, since
you're begging.
Give it what... uh.
Eight, Eleven.
Eleven years.
And we buy a place
right here.
[Kevin] On the lake.
[Jared] On the lake?
[Jared scoffs]
[Jared mimmicking]
"On the lake?"
My name is Kevin, [Laughter]
I stay "on the lake."
[Cody] Jay! [Laughing]
Okay. Sorry.
Yeah, we get
a little spot of lake land and
we'll come up every summer.
And Kev is a
writer/doctor, doctor/writer.
And... Cody is a world renowned
human-tarian, philanthropist,
bad ass, whatever.
And then me and Marty,
we live our lives
riddled with
questionable life choices
and then decide to settle down
and raise our respective kiddos
all together, in a single house.
I think it's perfect.
That is
inefficient as fuck.
[Jared] It's the most efficient
"cause then we
get to be together
all the time.
Ah! He's got you there.
[Jared] Yeah, I got you there.
And, um,
Ann Marie, what what.
What?
What?
What? Oh...
Oh, I get the honor
of being with you
after your
questionable lifestyle?
Or are you saying that I'm one
of your questionable choices?
Uh. Either. Or
it's your volition.
[Annie laughs]
[Annie] You"re drunk, boo.
A drunken mind
speaks a sober heart.
And!
My heart is sober.
Come on, everybody,
please raise it up here with me.
[Soft music]
Here's to us, a
lifetime from now,
Looking back and seeing
that it was together.
There"s truly, truly
no place I'd rather be than
with you guys.
I love you guys so much.
So, Cheers!
[All] Cheers. [Kevin] Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Eyes!
Cheers and eyes!
- Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Eyes.
- Cheers.
[Jared] Lotta eyes. Cheers.
[Chatting]
[laughing]
[Martin] Hey, you guys coming?
Uhhh.
No. We "re chill in".
Okay, well, good
night, you guys.
And drive safe.
Thank you.
[Martin] The beer.
[Jared] Hey, guys. Um.
Do you guys, like,
love each other?
Forever? And ever?
[Kevin] Okay, bye.
Wait wait wait, Jay.
Yo, come here.
- Yo yo!
- I think I forgot, hold on...
Hold on, I think I...
Oh.
- [All] Ooooh!
- Oh, my
- I'll get ya"ll!
- Bye!
Ya"ll just wait on it.
[Radio turns on]
[Awaken by Big Wild
starts playing]
What is this?
Oh, Kev.
[Music continues]
Find your way home
Find your way home
[Music fades]
[Waves lapping] [Birds singing]
[Delicate piano]
[Kevin] Jay, I'm not saying it's
how many times you"re farting
that"s ruining it.
It's how consistently
disgusting they are.
Okay okay!
I"m not the first
person to say it.
[Jared] Come here, both
you guys. Both you guys...
[Slap!]
- Jay, you!
- Jay!
[Martin] I "m com in" for you
now! [Jared] Come in here!
[Distant door slams]
[Martin] Dune climb!
At fucking sunrise!
[Jared] Love the energy.
[Kevin] Is that new?
I don "t think I" ve heard that.
Wow.
[Martin] I don't think the music
gets this far out.
[Jared] What"s the
one song, that goes.
[Jared] Whoa.
Whoa whoa, whoa...
[Kevin] Maybe I'll hear
it in a year or two.
[Kevin] Maybe you want to catch
up on time.
Yeah.
[Jared, mimmicking] When you
catch up on time music.
Dope.
[Cody] Good, boys. [Kevin] Mmmm.
[Kevin] Grumpy boys.
[Jared] Ohhh, Wooshy-boosh.
[Kevin] No no no.
[Martin] Shfink!
[All] Shfink!
[Soft wind and waves]
[Panting]
[Kevin] We"ve got about,
27 minutes "till sunrise."
[Laughter]
[Martin] Come on guys!
[Martin] Jared. [Laughing]
[Kevin] Cardio was your thing.
[Jared] I can't run that fast.
Okay, bro.
[Jared] I"ll see you
nerds up there! Huh?
[Martin, laughing] Yo!
This is fucking crazy!
Oh my god.
Oh-oh.
Oh!
[Kevin] My dogs are barking!
[Martin] I'm sorry.
What'd you say?
[Kevin] Woof, my
dogs are barking.
[Kevin] Like, my feet hurt.
[Kevin] It"s a saying.
[Jared] Anyway!
[Kevin] Fuck you
guys, it's a saying!
[Kevin] Shoes?
[Cody] Yeah, may I put them in
your bag?
[Kevin] You may.
[Kevin] So, do we
say a few words or.
Are we just going to go?
[Martin] I believe!!!
[Jared] In a thing called..
Oh shit, Marty we"re flying!
[Kevin] You alright?
[Cody] Yeah.
[Kevin] You ready?
[Cody] Yeah. Yep.
- Hold my hand?
- Sure?
[Cody] Okay, okay.
Wait wait wait wait wait.
Fuck. Sorry, sorry.
- Are you okay?
- Yes. Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yes. Let"s go.
- It's just run and jump.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- Okay we"re going?
Sorry, yeah. Okay, yeah.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Fuck!
[Kevin] Okay. You okay?
[Cody] Yeah I"m
okay, are you okay?
[Kevin] Yeah. Are you sure?
[Kevin] Because, like, it does
not seem like it.
I"m okay... I don't
know if I'm okay!
Actually, I don't know. When
you"re 14 this shit is just like
- I know. I know!
- And right now...
- [Martin] Guys!
- One sec!
Look, we can meet them
down there. It"s fine.
No no no, I want to! I want to.
- I want to do it! It"s just...
- Would it help if I,
did this?
Or this?
We got this.
You ready?
Mmhmm.
[Gentle music rises]
Okay.
We go this time.
[Cody nervously] Yes.
- [Kevin] On three.
- [Cody] Okay.
[Kevin] Two.
[Kevin] One!!! Oh shit!
[Laughter and cheering]
[Waves lapping]
[Martin] Almost. Almost, no.
[Martin] I'm on time.
Like, it"s not like
I promised to be like
with anybody.
[Jared] They"re just...
[Martin] Yeah.
Better not to say.
Somebody might hear.
[Chuckles]
[Martin grunts]
[Martin] Everything's
a fight for me, Jay!
I'll fight you, rock!
I'll fight you, sun!
Indiscriminate...
demonic beings!
I'll fight you!
[Jared] Then I'll fight them
with you too, man.
You know we can talk
about whatever, though?
You know that, right?
[Martin] Yeah, man.
Honestly, it's
it's nothing. It's just me.
I don't.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Well, I don't know
why I insist on
talking to people while
I'm brushing my teeth.
Maybe it's because I like it.
I think it's fun.
Well, it's a great litmus
test to see how well
someone knows you.
- Exactly.
- Yeah.
I mean, if you can communicate
effectively using just "mmmm" s.
It's pretty good.
Mmmm.
Mmm.
- Mmmmmmm!
- Mmmmmmm!
[Kevin] They formed at the end
of the last ice age.
Thousands of feet
of ice covered this.
[Cody] They're so impressive.
[Kevin] They get their name from
an old Ojibway legend.
Legend of the Leaping Bear.
So there's this
enormous fire and,
a mother bear and her
cubs ran to the shore.
This is actually
kind of a sad story,
but I"m going to
tell you anyway,
So there was this enormous fire,
and the mother bear amd her
cubs ran from the forest.
The cubs fell behind when
they were crossing the lake.
And the mother bear died waiting
for them on the other side.
Manitou, the great spirit
was so moved by the mother bear,
that she raised an island
for the resting place of each
cubs, commemorating them.
[Cody] A physical reminder.
That's so sad.
Not just the cubs,
but the mother bear.
How she couldn't
live after that.
[Kevin] Yeah.
Okay, so this is hypothetical.
[Cody] Ooh! [Kevin] What?
[Cody] No no no no.
Sorry yes, hypothetical.
[Kevin] Yes, a note. [Cody] Yes.
So let's say a series
of events happened
and we end up with a house here.
[Cody] In the hypothetical?
[Kevin] No, we
live in that house,
we have all the little
kiddos and all that.
But, Marty and Jay
do not live with us.
[Cody] Okay yeah, let's do it.
Hypothetically.
[Kevin] Yeah. I"d
settle for a porch swing
a series of particular events
you need to unfold for this...
- [Cody] Right! And if they
do... - Great.
[Kevin] Then it's great!
And if they don't?
[Cody] Hey, we had a great run.
[Kevin] Yeah. We
had a fantastic run.
[Cody] But we can't be one of
those couples!
[Kevin] No, no, no.
But not like we"re trying.
So in this hypothetical, -Yes.
While we are hypothesising.
What does the place look like?
Mmmm. Well,
Hypothetically, I mean,
while we"re dreaming,
something overlooking the lake.
Mmhmm.
And on a hill! I need a
hill to roll down, otherwise.
- Then what"s the point?
- Exactly.
Somewhere with trees, yeah?
Yeah, trees.
So, it can be
surrounded by trees,
and it feels like
it has a secret.
Somehow make people
want to look in,
And see what our family's doing.
And somewhere that's
been there a while.
Yeah.
Someplace with a story.
And we'll have our
friends over and I'll say,
"Hon, why don't you tell the
story of this here home?"
Because in this hypothetical,
we've developed
southern accents,
and you'll go,
"No, no, you tell it better."
and I'll say, "Fine,
we"ll tell it together."
And then our friends
will just puke
because we're just
so fucking cute.
[Laughing]
Yeah, something like that.
What?
[Martin] Yo!
How far home?
[Jared] Oh, I like
this. This is pretty.
We should build a house here.
2.5 miles.
[Martin] On land, Kevin.
Oh, uh...
Like sss... no, 12.4.
[Martin] God damn.
[Jared] It's nature man.
It's nature!
[Martin] There is
time in nature.
[Jared] That's true.
[Martin] Observe the sun.
[Cody] ...Man!
[Cody laughs]
[Jared] All right, um.
Name something more
timeless than the sun.
[Martin] Touche.
There"s actually a dust on earth
that"s older than the sun,
from like, 8% of
grains in existence.
[Jared] Yeah, no.
Thank you, Kev.
Yeah, I was looking
for a literal response.
[Kevin] You"re welcome.
[Jared] Thank you.
[Kevin] You"re welcome.
[Jared] I thank you!
[Kevin] It"s actually...
[Cody] Oh my god!
[Jared] Aahh!
Oh my god!
[Kevin] That is so cold!
[Jared] Thank you.
[Kevin] Okay. [Jared]
Oh, you"re dead!
[Cody] Hey!!!
[Splashing and laughing]
[Jared] Hey, where"s
Martin?! Get him!
[Cody] Quit it!
[Martin] You guys? [Jared] Stop.
[Jared] I quit! I quit,
I quit, I quit, I quit.
[Cody] Ah!
[Jared] Do that one more time
some fucking...
[Martin] Boom!
[Jared] You can't even take me
down, dawg!
[Laughing]
[Jared] You can't even take me
down, dawg!!!
[Kevin] Oh my god,
it get"s colder!
[Martin] Towel me!
Towel me, please!
[Jared] Bro, who has towels?
[Martin] Okay, towel.
[Jared] Who are you talking to?
[Cody] Who are you talking to?
[Jared] Who are you taking to?
[Voices grow distant]
[Gentle piano]
[Wind rustling]
[Marylou] Hey, bud.
Hello.
Pancakes?
Mmmm.
You can make them.
Oh, but I'm lazy.
Ohh.
The guys sleeping?
It's been good.
Having everyone here.
What's up today?
[Steve] It's going to storm.
Felt it on the
water this morning.
Petrichor.
What"s that, bud?
Uh, the smell of electricity
in the air before storm.
It"s called pet rich or.
Cool.
[Thunder rumbles] [Rain outside]
Lazy day.
Dad?
Dad?
Dad!
Did the light
impair your hearing?
How are you reading that?
I got special powers, man.
You got special powers...
You're a man who can't
hear and wears glasses.
What special powers do you have?
It"s these glasses.
They're amazing.
- Respect.
- They"re that good?
- They're incredible.
- What... where... when,
when did you get them?
I can see through this paper.
[Distant thunder]
[Marylou] And when
does school start?
[Cody] Two days after I leave.
Oh, thank you for
the recommendation.
You're welcome.
Hey, when you're running things,
Oh I won"t forget about you.
Okay, cool.
Because, you know,
I gotta make sure
I'm taken care of.
Oh, yeah. This guy Steve...
Oh, yeah. I mean,
who knows with him, right?
Kev and Steve are twins.
Oh, yeah.
That was, um, "78?"
Yeah, seventy eight or nine.
The Michigan varsity
field hockey game.
Yeah. Yeah.
Steve and our best friend
Mike came see me play.
[Steve scoffs]
And that little detail of you
rejecting my first
marriage proposal
- at the end of the game.
- Ooh.
What?
- [Steve] Just a little detail.
- Mary Lou!
Cody, we had been
dating three weeks!
This guy didn't
even have a ring.
Steve.
[Martin] Wooof!
Way to go before you're ready.
Mmm, 10 to 1 Crash and burn.
[Marylou] Mmhmm.
- [Cody] How many attempts?
- Two.
However many times we
broke up in college.
Twenty four.
And graduation, right?
Oh ho ho... He was ready!
Cody, I was ready.
I had my plan. I had the ring.
No doubt whatsoever.
I dropped down on one knee.
Crash and burn?
Rejected. Attempt 23.
Yeah, she wasn't ready.
It's tough to do.
[Steve] But what are you going
to do, right?
That's it. Game over.
That's just the kind of thing
that everybody was saying,
including her.
So, I agreed.
I said I agreed, and I
smiled and I nodded my head,
what have you.
But, you know, you were the one.
There's no doubt whatsoever.
And it was like two years and
eighteen days.
[Steve] It didn"t matter!
I was in Chicago,
I"d just got back.
I was taking the
train to work, and um.
There she was.
Right there, walking.
And she's doing her
little fast walk.
- You know? Her little fast
walk. - People to see. People to
see.
So anyway, she's going to
the train station, and uh
I start running after her.
The train is rumbling overhead
so
I start sprinting.
And I jumped over the counter
and I leapt up the stairs!
- You jumped it?
- [Steve] Like it was nothin!
Well, he had the
wings of love under his feet.
[Steve] Oh, I could
feel the tweet tweet.
Well he was 25. You know?
- Yeah.
- He"s a young man.
[Steve] I was younger
than now, possibly.
[Laughter] So. Yeah.
So I jumped the counter
and I lept up the stairs.
And at that point, you know,
there's the train and
it"s starting to go.
[Jared] Right right right.
And just in time, I
wedge open the doors
of that car, and I step
in and I look around,
and there you were,
- Looking at you.
- I...
[Steve] So I had to collect
myself. Took me a second.
And, uh. I walked
right up to you.
- Right.?
- Mmm.
You were looking at
me the whole time.
Uh huh.
Yeah. And I looked at
you right in the eyes.
And then what did I say?
You said, "Come here often?"
Ooooh.
[Steve] That's all I could think
of. Because you were, like
I was so mesmerized.
But, yeah, so,
Two years and 18 days since
we last saw each other. Yeah.
When you're ready.
[Marylou] The universe...
[Steve] When we were ready.
Yeah, the universe, man,
brought us together.
Yep.
Well, mmm, I don't know
about all that cosmic
karma stuff.
But
my love.
[Marylou] What's going on here?
[Martin] Uh oh.
[Kevin] Oh no no no.
Oh, no.
[Marylou] Oh no.
Since you mentioned
the universe,
I'd have to agree.
Guess what?
Dipping you...
[Marylou gasps and laughs]
[Steve] Mmmm!
[Cody] I saw it
coming. [Chuckling]
[Fire crackling]
[Steve] Hhmm.
[Cody] I know where
we are. [Steve] Oh.
Chapter 28.
The beset princess held the
quiet knight in her arms.
Fear not the northern colds,
nor the westerly winds
and southern snows.
Fear not the everlasting east,
For the physical realms of earth
are not the ties that bind.
If I remember.
She inquired,
is all I am a memory?
To remember is to
know what once was
will never be again.
So in this realm I stay
and shall sleep until once
again in your embrace,
true and fair.
Kev?
[Birds singing outside]
[Door opens]
[Gentle breeze]
[Cicadas singing]
[Waves lapping]
[Peaceful music rises]
[Peaceful music fades]
[Waves lapping]
[Jared] And that's this.
[Martin] Ugh. You
kidding me? Come on.
[Jared] One moves.
[Martin] Okay.
[Jared] Very nice.
But... [Martin sighs]
I"m mad-duh.
[Jared] And I know
what that means.
But you got to be ten
steps ahead, baby.
[Martin laughs]
[Jared] It's...
[Martin] Well, you got to learn
your words, man.
[Jared] You can't do that.
That's a... that's a check.
[Martin] That's a check?
[Jared] That's a check.
[Martin] What, am I going to get
paid or something?
[Jared laughs]
[Jared] If I was you,
I'd just take it.
There's not much I
can do, you know?
[Door opens]
[Martin] Yeah, but I don't know,
"you've been kind of
rock in" my world.
[Cody] I got pretty far in the
book last night.
Kev?
Hhmm?
In Stardust Compendium.
I read a little today, too.
Oh, reading ahead.
Cool. How"d you like it?
I do like it. Yeah.
Not a fan of this
princess anymore, though.
And her choices
to stay under some
spell over reality.
Right?
Well,
it is a children's book.
Still cowardly? No.
I mean, I don't know,
But if you did?
Well she made a choice,
reality didn"t give her one.
Yeah, the wrong choice.
But that's your opinion.
I'm aware of that.
[Cody] What?
[Kevin] What are you doing?
Cody.
[Water splashing]
[Cody breathing heavily]
[Kevin] A choice
doesn"t define someone.
[Cody] It can.
She has the memory,
to choose that over living...
[Kevin] Maybe it
wasn't enough for her.
[Cody] What if it has to be?
[Kevin] Cody.
[Cody] Kev!
[Kevin] Why are we
talking about this?
[Cody] Shouldn't we?
Shouldn't we be
talking about this?
No, no. Just wait.
Just wait.
For what?
[Gentle music]
[Try to Remember
by Hayes Bradley]
[Indistict chatter]
[Steve] Alright you guys, take
care of yourself!
We"re getting down
to business here.
[Marylou] Ah, the testosterone.
[Steve] And a one, and a two,
Tres.
[Grunting and straining]
[Steve] Look at
that, an early start!
[Overlapping conversations]
[Steve] Oh!
[Jared] Come on. Just
let it... just do it!
Just end my... just do it!
Just do it!!!
- Boom!
- Ahhh!
[Everyone cheering]
[Marylou] So soon?
[Overlapping conversation]
[Steve] Next year...
[Everyone cheering] Oohh!
[Clapping and cheering]
[Steve] Yes! Yeah!
[Martin] It's good
to see you again!
[Conversations overlapping]
[Steve] Ow. Ow.
[Marylou] It's a
self-service breakfast.
So just...
[Martin] Get a little.
[Steve] I got to
take a nap. I"m done.
[Birds singing]
[Cody] How about that?
[Kevin] That is
definitely immoral.
[Cody] Mmm but not unethical.
[Kevin] Illegal?
- Mmhmm.
- Maybe.
[Playful bite sound] Oh...
[Car hoking]
Hi!!!
[Baba] Oh, hello!
[Cody] What's shakin?
[Laughing]
Nothing but the leaves
on the summer trees!
Aw!
[Baba] How are you, darlin?
[Cody] I"m great! How are you?
Where are you?
[Baba] Well,
last week I spent doing yoga
at a hot house in Iceland.
And now I'm with
my favorite people,
So I'm doing all right.
This hair! [Lauhgs]
Well hi.
Precious boy.
Precious Baba.
I don't like that hair.
Oh.
[Marylou] Mom!
Oh no, it's fine.
This is our thing.
I live my life, and she tells me
what she thinks of my choices.
Ah, welcome to my world.
Mwah!
[Thoughtful piano]
You flew with this?
[Laughter]
"Cause, yeah"
"cause Chris is the
greatest Schmidt ever."
- Exactly.
- Was the best Schmidt.
[Jared] Is the best Schmidt.
[Chris] Debatable.
Andy, Chris...
What's married life like?
[Chris] Mmm!
Tell "em, Babe."
Oh god.
I think,
like, when we were
your guys's age,
I don't think either one of us
would have expected that
the Sunday Farmer's Market
would be the
highlight of our life!
[Laughter]
There's this one stand, guys,
that has, like, over 23
different kinds of mushrooms.
- [Laughing and exclaiming]
- Wow.
- They"re so good.
- I love that!
- Oh my god I love that.
- It is amazing!
[Laughing]
So that's 30.
Thirty and married, baby!
I mean, aren"t you like 50?
[Laughing] Hey!
Forty!
Forty!
You child.
It"s a beautiful existence.
I'm not complaining.
[Kevin] Well we do have the
mushrooms to thank for our
existence, so.
- Really?
- What?
Hmm?
"Cause the dinosaurs."
What?!
[Chris laughs]
The dinosaurs. Really?
[Cody] Oh, that fills us in.
Say more. [Cody] Kev! Help!
Yeah, we heard
you say dinosaurs.
What does that have to
do with the mushrooms?
Oh, because when the meteor
came in and killed them all,
I mean, we could say what a
high degree of certainty that
there was a fungal bloom, swept
the land, took hold of them,
because they're
because they're cold blooded.
And the fungal blooms
like "blaaarg!"
and you know, went into their
dead, dumb, reptile brains.
-Why are you laughing? What-
-[Pounding]
[Steve] What"s
going on in here?!
Oh, damn... Um,
they're explaining the mushrooms
and the dinosaurs to me.
- So Jay...
- That"s a true story!
"Cause that" s a true story...
keeping tell that story...
[Marylou] What is
happening in there?
[Steve] Everything"s fine!
We"re fine, we"re going.
[Marylou] Are you sure?
[Steve] Yesss. Our children,
they are degenerates.
[Tapping on glass]
[Overlapping conversations]
[Marylou] I just want to say
thank you to our
chefs de cuisine for whipping
up this delicious feast for us.
Thank you, Chef.
Absolutely. It was our pleasure.
[Boys cheering] Andy!!!
And thank you to Andy
and Chris for flying in.
And to Mom for
flying in from where?
Reykjavik.
Yep.
Oh, I have great photos
of the West Fjord ice caves.
I can you show
them to you later?
Yep.
And Cody.
Four years up here...
Yes.
And Kevvy.
19 years with the
human gestation cycle.
Many years.
And thank you to the boys
for being so helpful.
[Chris] To the boys.
[Marylou] Cheers.
[All] Cheers.
[Jared] To the boys.
[Andy] Cheers.
To life.
[Marylou] Well, we, um.
We're missing one.
But I feel like he's with us,
telling us to relax
and enjoy the sunset.
Yeah?
Hands behind his back,
admiring... everything!
[Laughing]
Me and my sisters growing up,
seven of us in a house,
there was never enough time to
do all the things
you wanted to do before bed!
And dad would say, "It's cool."
"You got time tomorrow."
And then growing up,
well,
there was never enough time
for everything, you know,
all the work and
the stuff, whatever.
And we were like, "Aaghh,
if only we had more time!"
And dad said,
"Yeah, hold on."
"I don't know, I."
"I don't think we
need more time."
"And, we're... we're not
we're not getting any more, so"
"don't waste time wish in"."
So then I was like,
"Okay, make the
most of the time."
"Do as much as you can! Got it!"
Yeah?
And then being up here
with all our favorite people...
It makes sense.
It really makes sense
what he was saying.
What we all need, what we
we all really need.
[Baba] Oh, check
out your "gramps."
That's Bert?
That"s Bert!
We did our own, mind you.
And when I close my eyes
and think about him,
I"m back in the summer of
"46, when we first met,
before he was that
cool guy there.
County fair.
There was this boy
running at full speed.
He slams into me,
knocks me over!
I slap into the dirt.
He falls on me!
Ice cream smooshed,
dress ruined.
And he just smiles
and says, "Oops."
"Double scoop?"
It's silly, but yeah.
Did you buy you another one?
You bet!
He had to borrow
money from his mother.
Fifty four years of marriage
a lifetime of memories,
and yet that's the one
crystallized in my mind...
Clear as day! Just
by closing my eyes.
But the feeling of
him never goes away.
It's the same now as it was
when we first met,
when we ran off to spend
our lives together.
It was totally irrational,
but absolutely the
best thing we ever did.
What Lou is talking
about, that time thing?
That was true.
He knew something, that guy.
What?
That what we need is
more stillness.
Listen.
Songs in the air.
A whisper in the wind.
[Soft wind through branches,
wind chimes]
- Evening, family!
- Can we use the car?
[Steve] Uh, keys are...
[Marylou] Oh, whatcha up to?
"Venturin"! [Marylou] Cool!
Uh, Steve! Can I borrow a shirt?
Sure.
- Uh... Cody, help me?
- Yeah!
[Marylou] Your grandmother, she
leaves tomorrow.
Yeah, I know, and I
promise I'll listen to her
despite all her
unfiltered criticism.
- [Marylou] Encouragement!
- The fuck are these keys?!
- [Marylou] Kev!
- Yeah, something that says
I'm available, but I
also have a secret?
- Yeah.
- What secret?
- Jay likes Annie!
- No no shhhh!
What?! [Marylou gasps]
[Steve] I will say this,
Jay Man. Go for it!
- Thank you.
- You"re welcome.
And thank you for
the shirt, Sir Steve.
Keys were on the mantle, why
don"t you start?
- Go. Go go go go go go go go!
- Thank you!
Goodnight!
[Marylou] Goodnight, you guys!
I promise nothing illegal,
immoral, and blah blah blah!
- [All shouting]
- Shotgun!!! [Kevin] Nope!
[Jared] Why does Cody
always get shotgun?
[Kevin] Because I'm
a fucking gentleman.
[Steve and Marylou sigh]
[Steve] They leave so soon.
[Marylou sighs]
[I think I Like It When
It Rains by Willis]
Dawg.
I think your shirt's
on backwards.
Is it?
Yeah it's definitely
on backwards. [Laughs]
Well maybe I can just
walk around all night like.
"Hello."
- "Hello!"
- "Hello, sir."
[Laughing] "Honored
to meet you."
[Jared] Very good.
Walk backwards, yeah!
Flick off some lights!
[Both] Backwards
man! Backwards man!
[Laughing]
I"ll turn it around.
Thank God.
[Jared] Oh and...
What is it, a stain?
I can, cover it
up with something.
Do I just put my
mom"s shirt over it?
I think you should.
[Kevin] Do you think she's gonna
know I took it?
[Jared] She's definitely
gonna know. But you should...
You should definitely wear that.
Hey, can I borrow those
pants that are on the couch?
They're going to be tight.
Oh, tight tight!
Yeah, just put it on.
It's Annie's party.
This is like it for us.
Hey, you're doing it for me.
Uh!
Uh!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You look like a prince bro. Oh!
[Martin] Guess who!!!
Hey!
Wooow.
Oh yeah, you like that?
- Ready?
- Bam!
- Hey.
- Pow!!!
- Mmm!
- Pop pop!
Boom! Hey!
Are you wearing those?
Hell yeah, I'm wearing these.
[Jared] Respect.
Now let's make
some memories, boys.
- Eye contact.
- Eye contact.
Here we go.
Oh my god.
[Martin coughing]
I'm so happy.
- You enjoyed that?
- I"m a...
Those are terrible, no. I will
never do that again in my life.
- Certainly not tonight.
- No never again...
Maybe I'm older but, I'm not.
[Martin] Noted.
My god, tastes like paint.
[Mystery of Me by RIP Dunes]
Do I look silly? I

Our sober hearts drew us to you.
Like a friendship beam.
[Girls laughing]
[Annie] Come on!
I know I should be, um.
Bro.
You don't have to be anything
other than exactly what you are.
Real men feel, Kev.
Feel what?
Exactly.
[Loud music plays]
I love you guys.
Come on!
Go for it. There he is!
Oh, we like to see that.
[Cody laughing]
Hi. Buy me dinner first.
Hey.

A little sippy sip?
Mmm. Good job.
Very good.
Mmhmm!

Amazing!

[Cody] So what do
you want to do now?
[Kevin] Mmm.
Name me a standout
memory from 5th grade.
Kicking Jenny Hentler's
ass in the class debate.
Oh, my god, Kev,
this girl had no shot.
We were trying to
figure out what to do
with our free class period,
and I suggested and petitioned
that we get more recess time.
Mmhmm.
Mmhmm.
And I won it.
So.
Wow. I"m so proud.
Are you?
Yeah.
Mmm.
I saw that animals are going
to die therefore so are we,
so I asked my mom.
"Am I going to die?"
And she was like, "Yeah."
But it didn't really
make me scared.
It was more...
Annoying?
[Cody] Do you see my teeth?
[Kevin] I see "em."
[Cody] Are they white?
Are they sparkly?
[Kevin] Yeah, they"re... Well.
- Wait, put your head up.
- Yeah.
- Do you see mine? - Okay now I
only see your teeth.
- [Kevin] Are they? Are they...
- They"re sparkling.
They"re sparkling? [Cody] Yes.
[Cody] We"re you too busy?
[Kevin] For the people I love
I"m always available.
- Mmmm.
- For those I don"t,
sometimes I'm busy.
Not doing shit.
Exactly.
Mmhmm.
I have
12 to 14 people who
matter. That"s it.
- That is efficient.
- Efficient. Yeah.
[Yawning] Very efficient.
Mmmmm.
I"m awake.
You"re sleeping.
Go to sleep, little wolf.
[Cody, whispering] Kev?
[Kevin] Mm?
[Cody] Kev.
[Kevin] Hm.
[Cody] Kev!
[Kevin] What?
[Cody] Come on.
[Tent zipper opens]
[Footsteps running]
Cody! Why are we always racing?
Cody!
[Cody] Ugh! Fuck! I can't.
[Breathing heavily]
[Quiet laugh]
[Quiet laugh]
Let"s jump in.
Alright.
[Both laughing]
I've seen you here before.
[Cody laughs]
[Kevin] I know.
[Cody] No.
It just happened so fast.
And now it"s just...
Everything's going to be.
I just.
I love you, Kev.
And I hate not..
Knowing.
I know, I know.
Liar.
The only lie.
I ever told you.
Was the first week we met.
I told you I liked you.
But I already knew.
I already knew.
I know.
[Quiet laugh]
[Soft music]
[Soft music growing]
[Waves lap]
Oh. Safe travels.
- Hhmm? Safe travels.
- Thank you.
Thanksgiving? It's nothing.

[Martin] We're good.
You cool? [Jared] Super cool.
- Coool.
- Hhmm.
Cool as ice.
You guys come here.
We love you, Cody.
[Cody] Mmmm.
Not me.
Aw.
[Jared] Love you.
Take care.
Well.
See ya.
See ya.
[Marylou] Aoh.
[Keys jingle]
[Engine starts]
[Engine stops]
Okay look, I lied to twice!
This plan of ours...
- It sucks! I hate it.
- I know! And it just...
- Why didn"t you say anything?!
- I don"t want to do it.
- I said everything!
- You didn't say anything!
Yeah but I said everything.
What?!
Collectively!
No, we... we're not
one of these couples!
No! Oh, my god, I
know one of those couples
I don't even know what
that meant! I"m sorry!
I know, I know! I know.
We're awesome!
Concur! So... what
do you want to do?
I want to... I... okay.
Okay, what about your
4 year plan thing?
Yes. Yes. College.
Do that. Be together.
- Yes.
- Logical as shit!
- And we can do that!
- Yeah!
It's so... logical.
- Oh, do we... call?
- Yeah!
Okay but what if... what if...
What if I call you and you're
with some girl or something?
Realistically, I mean,
I wouldn't answer.
I just wait until I
can call you back,
but you probably ask
what I was doing,
and I'm not gonna lie to you!
And...
And now we're just getting
into technicalities,
and I don't even want to...
Look, I'm just trying to
answer your hypothetical.
- It"s the same if...
- Oh my gaaa... okay okay okay!
What if we"re...
we"re... we"re... what... um.
What if we"re just together
- summers.
- Yes.
- And like, on breaks.
- Yes.
Let"s be together
when we can be.
- Efficient. Yes.
- You know?
Yeah, exactly! It"s efficient!
It"s r... it... I"d be... why...
Why create all this additional
fucking heartache...
Why?
For ourselves as opposed to
living in the moment
when we're together!
And being apart
when we're apart.
Fuck.
What? No, what? What?
We could do that! We could...
That's... that"s
smart! We can do that.
Dumb.
I know.
So what do we do?
Be together?
[Laughing]
We don't have a plan.
We"ll wing it.
Wing it, my dear!
[Laughs]
Want a ride?
No, thanks. I think I'm gonna...
Oh.
- Yeah.
- Oh okay.
Do that.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Yes.
Next day, too?
There"s a high probability.
Good.
You got this.
We.
We.
Yeah.
Shvink!
[Cody laughs]
Onward!
[Engine starts]
Awooooo!
[Quiet, bittersweet music]

[Marylou, laughing] No!
[Background chatter]
[Jared] You look so good!
[Jared] Oh! [Baba] Thank you!
[Baba] Oh it"s been forever!
[Jared] It"s been too long.
But I want to hear
all about it inside!
[Kevin] Did you plan this?
Arriving at the same time?
[Jared] Yeah yeah yeah yeah.
We"re connected by fate.
- Mmhmm.
- Yeah.
You look good!
- Oh.
- Come on.
Hello?
[Jared] Steve!!!
[Steve] Oh, here
come the others!
[Marylou] Oh, well hello!
[Steve] Get in there and get the
brocolli ready!
[Baba] Precious boy.
[Kevin] Precious Baba.
You know, I'm
liking that earring.
- You do?
- Mmhmm.
Very surprising.
Well, the hair is kind
of growing on me, too.
That"s funny, I was actually
going to say you should do
something about yours.
- Everyone's in the kitchen.
- Oh, thanks.
[Marylou] And what are you up to
on the weekend?
[Marylou] With some friends?
[Marylou] Cool.
[Marylou] Are you going to go
home at all?
[Marylou] Well nothing illegal,
immoral, or unethical.
[Laughs]
[Marylou] You can always count
on me to say that.
[Marylou] Yeah, but you can
still have some fun.
[Marylou] I have faith in you.
[Marylou] You can do it.
[Marylou, laughing] Okay.
[Marylou] Here he is.
Hello?
Hi. Uh.
[Family talking
loudly] Uh, one sec.
Um.
Hi.
[Cody] Um, hi! That was 14 secs.
[Kevin laughs]
Apologies, t"was uh...
T"was the dinner chaos.
[Cody] So, do you have a minute?
Yeah.
[Cody] You're sure
you're not busy?
No. No, not at all.
I'm entirely useless
until we carry the tables,
anyway. So I have at least, uh.
At least 14 minutes.
[Cody] Cool.
[Cody] So how are you?
I mean, um.
How... What...
What have you been
doing all summer?
You know.
[Cody] Yeah.
Uh.
Can I ask you a question?
[Cody] May you.
Mmmm. I walked into that one.
[Cody]Yes you did. Yes, you did.
Wow, sorry. But your question.
Yes, um.
Why do people say
"a whole " nother"?
Cause, expanding that
it"s "a whole another"
which um
which makes no sense.
[Cody] Well,
as a fan of efficiency,
I feel like you
like the apostrophe.
That's a... that's true.
Apostrophes are
efficient as fuck.
- Cody, I...
- [Cody] You know...
What? [Cody] No, you go.
No. Um, no, you.
[Cody] I... nothing.
I was just going to say that.
We never finished the book.
