VENDOR: I'm sorry. I can't
sell you the mushrooms.
-ZOE: Come on.
-VENDOR: No.
Read the sign.
It says 18 and up.
Sorry.
ZOE: I turn 18 next month.
Look at my ID.
-VENDOR: I've seen your ID.
You are not 18 on it.
Showing me your I.D.
again won't make you 18
all of a sudden, and anyways
you shouldn't be taking
this shit on your own.
Especially if it's your first time.
-ZOE: Come on.
-No.
Please.
Sorry, I can't help you.
What about karma?
What about it?
You do a good deed
and good stuff happens to you.
That's bullshit.
Fuck.
Uh, sorry. Excuse me.
Excuse me, I... I forgot my...
Fuck!
(MAP RUSTLES)
Hi.
Hey.
Do you need some help?
Uh, how did you know I'm lost?
It takes one to know one.
Where are you from?
Tel Aviv.
Big drug scene.
Not big enough, apparently.
(LAUGHS)
Listen up, Tel Aviv.
It's your lucky day.
(CHUCKLES)
But I also happen to be
a map reading prodigy.
I can read any map. I can get you anywhere.
So don't worry. I got this.
I will take you to your destination.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
I just need to buy mushrooms
and then we can go.
Oh, it's okay. I'm good.
You could just show me
where we are on the map.
Map girl.
Are you taking the piss?
What?
Are you making fun of me?
I'm trying to be nice and help.
You made fun of yourself first.
Okay. Whatever.
(SIGHS)
Listen, I just spent 5.5 hours
on a really smelly train to get here
and buy mushrooms, but I lost my ID...
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
and mushroom shop
dick won't sell me anything
because he thinks I'm underage.
(CHUCKLES)
This is the third shop I've tried.
Do you mind buying them for me?
Please do that for me.
How old are you?
You're not a junkie, right?
No.
What if you're a clean junkie?
I'm not. I mean I'm...
(LAUGHS) I'm clean,
but I'm not a junkie.
-Can I trust you?
-You can trust me.
Trust me.
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
The Mexican ones, please.
Oh, wait.
Could you ask him if it's okay
to leave this there for an hour?
You're pushing it.
It's fucking heavy.
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
Oh, sorry.
We're two minutes away.
(TAKES A DRAG)
Is that a joint?
Are we in Amsterdam?
How boring.
Your mother's boring.
I don't have a mother,
but if I had one, she'd
be anything but boring.
(TAKES A DRAG)
Smoke?
Thanks.
It's an Israeli thing.
What is?
When you hurt an Israeli
they will always say something bad
about your mother.
To hurt you back, you know?
What do you do when someone hurts you?
I cry.
Mm, this is it.
Well, good luck.
Thank you very much.
(CHUCKLES)
What's happening here?
The torture museum.
Planning on torturing someone?
You never know.
Cool.
Do you wanna come?
No, thanks.
Just sounds like too much fun,
so I'll pass.
Okay.
Thanks for walking me.
Enjoy the mushrooms.
Okay.
Almost nice getting to know you.
Yeah.
(SINGING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

MUSEUM SPEAKER: The guillotine,
named after the inventor
of the first guillotine
Joseph Guillotine was created to provide
a more humane method of execution.
It was considered to be more gentle
than sword and axe beheadings.
Guillotine's family
petitioned to change its name
and distance themselves from the concept,
but failed.
The machine had already
become an instant success
and public executions were considered
to be everyone's favorite
new form of entertainment.
(TAKES A DRAG)
()
Are you waiting for me?
No.
How was the museum?
Very nice, very nice.
Very inspiring.
ZOE: So what are your plans?
What do you mean?
What are you planning to do in Amsterdam?
I don't know. Why?
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
My plan was to take the mushrooms,
but yeah...
The thing is mushroom shop dick said
I shouldn't take them
alone if it's my first time
and I've never done them before.
-So...
-So?
-So...
-So?
-So...
-So?
So I'm here alone.
You're here alone, right?
I mean, you know.
No.
ZOE: Come on, why don't
we take them together?
(CHUCKLES)
No.
-Why not?
-RUTH: I don't know.
I... I sort of came here
to be by myself, so...
I don't see how that would work.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
I came here to be by myself too.
RUTH: Great.
So let's stick to that then.
Okay.
Okay.
Have you ever taken mushrooms?
No.
Well, aren't you even a little bit curious?
I try not to be.
Come on, you look fun and easygoing.
Aren't you?
I don't know, maybe I am.
It just seems weird taking mushrooms
with a total stranger.
ZOE: It'll be weird anyway.
They're magic mushrooms.
It can't not be weird.
Why don't you just take them with me
and then just hallucinate
that you're alone?
You're supposed to do
it with someone you trust.
Don't you trust me already?
I took you to your museum, didn't I?
Back home everyone trusts me.
There aren't many 17 year
olds this responsible in London.
You said you were 20.
20? No, no, no way.
I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
When did I say that?
Before.
Twice.
Okay, I'm 18 next month.
Look at my ID.
Cross my heart.
You said you lost that.
I...
(LAUGHS)
I found it when you were in the museum.
I think I'll pass.
Why?
Are you still worried I'm a junkie?
RUTH: No.
Your teeth.
They're are too pretty.
So what's the problem?
You think I'm gonna rob you?
Steal your phone? Your credit card?
(LAUGHS) I do now.
ZOE: If I was, I would have done it by now.
I don't need your credit card
because I have my mom's credit card, okay?
RUTH: You said you didn't have a mom.
You know what? Forget it. You're right.
I thought you were fun and spontaneous,
but I was wrong. You're just another
annoying tourist.
So never mind.
Shalom.
You roll your eyes too much.
One day they'll get stuck like that
and never come back.
That's none of your business.
RUTH: Okay. Okay.
London.
(SPEAKS HEBREW) Yalla. Okay.
I'll do it.
Quit begging.
Begging?
Are you mental?
If we're going to do this,
we need to set some ground rules.
What ground rules?
One, you give me space.
Two, you don't bother me.
Three,
you don't roll your eyes at me.
I can't control it. It's genetic.
My family, my ancestors have been rolling
their eyes at everyone for centuries.
I literally have no control...
Four,
you stop lying to me.
Five
you don't hit on me.
Why would I hit on you?
Did you like my rules?
No.
And I've got some rules too.
I'm listening.
Why did you change your mind?
()
What rules would you like to add?
Uh...
I'm trying to put it in words.
Something like
if one of us is in
distress, than the other one...
Yeah.
That's what I meant.
I mean, I'm not really in a
'help people in distress' kind of mood.
See, I came from distress.
I ran from distress.
I don't want any distress in Amsterdam.
I have all the distress
I will ever need back in Tel Aviv.
(CHUCKLES) But what if there's
an emergency?
What if I faint or get hit by a bus?
That's a shame.
So
you... you won't help me?
I'm sure someone will.
Well, I'm chucked in the road.
-Bleeding.
-It just probably won't be me.
Screaming for help.
There's no one there but you.
You could ask someone
to call you an ambulance.
So I shouldn't trust you like at all?
No.
Don't.
Well.
Hopefully nothing awful will happen to me.
Even if it does.
It's fine.
I mean, if you have an emergency,
don't worry.
I'll be okay.
I'll just go on on my own.
(CHUCKLES)
You're such a downer.
No expectations.
That's a great one.
So if I get run over
you abandon me.
Just because I'm old enough to be a parent
doesn't make me your parent.
Okay?
That's fine.
I'm used to people abandoning me.
Don't expect them not to.
It will hurt less.
Helping someone in danger is basic.
Maybe.
Oh, God.
Are you just going to be a pain in the ass?
God bless my ass.
Sign here.
ID number.
You're mental.
That's a standard contract.
You sign it first.
Rule number 7.
The youngest is first to sign.
Oh. What are you? A solicitor?
Number 8.
Avoid asking, huh... Ruth about her past.
So are you one?
Hey.
No rolling eyes.
Oh, every rule on this napkin
is another piece of freedom
you're taking away from me.
Are you kidding?
I am your freedom.
RUTH: Ow.
ZOE: Ow.
RUTH: Zoe.
(BELL DINGING)
(QUACKING)
So the setting is perfect.
-Okay.
-Mhm.
We need to take the right
dosage or we might get nauseous.
What's the right dosage?
It doesn't say.
Maybe they mean the whole bag.
Takes 20 minutes till it kicks in,
and it lasts for five hours.
Your perspective will
change and in extreme cases,
you might see imaginary rainbows.
Good. I need those.
If you'd like to address personal issues,
make a list and open it later.
Yeah, right.
You will feel emotional,
but in a different way than you know.
If you get stuck in a bad emotion
just think of a positive one.
Okay.
(MUNCHES)
Oh.
(CHUCKLES)
It's horrible.
They say it's worth it.
Who says?
This is awful?
Oh God.
It is.

(FOOTFALLS THUDDING)
You're walking weird.
Trying to avoid the water.
There's no water here.
Because I'm walking on fire.
Don't you understand?
So where am I?
You're stuck in the pantry.
Ah.
Do you want to come to the fire?
You should come to the fire.
Okay.
Hold on.
It's okay.
(GROANS)
Come on.
(GRUNTS)
-Shit. Shit.
-What? What? What?
See that guy?
The guy with the book?
It's not a book.
We don't know what it is.
He could be a spy.
Who is he spying for?
The Mossad.
(GASPS)
Really?
We can't leave the park
with him blocking our way.
I need water.
I won't survive much longer without water.
It's okay.
Let's go around.
If I don't drink, I'm
going to collapse, okay?
(LAUGHS)
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(SPEAKS HEBREW)
I have an idea.
What?
This one.
This one.
-Okay.
-Yeah.

RUTH: My mother used
to do my hair like this.
One of them.
ZOE: How does it look?
It's so...
It's so you.
Camera.
Wow.
Right?
I'm the most beautiful
thing I've ever seen.
I'm a genius.
I should get paid to breathe.
You are a genius.
You really captured
stuff.
(LAUGHS)
You deserve...
-You know what?
-What?
Why don't I just I'll just give it to you.
I want to give you an award.
An award?
You've earned it, man
for doing this with me.
Hold on, I want to make it official.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I want to award Ruth
whatever the fuck her last name is
for doing something no
one has ever done before.
In a world where everyone
is exactly the same
she did something slightly different.
(SIGHS)
I am proud to acknowledge her victory
over the entire world.
Oh, wow.
(CHEERING, CLAPPING)
Wow! Wow.
Thank you, I...
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)
Wow. I'm... Let me just...
Okay. Wow.
I didn't prepare a speech.
It all happened so fast.
But I'll try.
First of all
I'd like to thank my
parents for giving me up
and sending me to my grandparents
who sent me to my other grandparents,
who sent me to the kibbutz
that sent me to the Ohel
Shem boarding school.
Thank you.
(CLAPPING)
I also would like to
thank my driving teacher
for showing me where the handbrake is.
Thank you.
You piece of shit.
My pharmacist for always
giving me free vitamins
with my Prozac.
(CLAPS)
At this point, I would like to apologize
to all my wedding guests.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want to marry him anymore.
I know you were counting
on a delicious steak
and middle eastern hits, but
I can't give you that.
I can't give you anything.
I'm sick of giving things.
I want to get things.
It's so simple.
I just want to get things.
That's what I want.
Okay?
So thanks.
Wow.
You're so not as boring
as I thought you'd be.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
(GIGGLING)
()
(LAUGHTER)
Why am I laughing?
Stop.
(SCREAMS)
(LAUGHTER)
-Oh my God.
-What is it?
Look at this.
Just do that.
This is amazing.
What the hell?
It says it in your eyes
You look so terrified
It's worse when you cry
I can tell, I can tell,
I can tell, I can tell
RUTH: Ow.
Sorry.
What the fuck?
Hey.
You stepped on me.
What?
Why?
Huh?
But I shouldn't have said sorry,
because you're the one
who did something wrong.
You stepped on me.
I'm sick of being stepped
on and saying sorry for it.
You're European.
You invented "sorry".
Well
actually, I'm from Texas.
Whatever.
You owe me an apology.
Now.
She's right.
Earth.
Do it.
Say it.
Um...
I'm sorry?
There you go.
You're welcome.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
Pew!
Good for you.
It's so nice to do what you really want.
Do what you really...
How do you do what you really want?
You just...
You just do.
(GASPS)
Imagine living without caring...
Oh, God.
-About what other people think!
-About what other people think!
(LAUGHS)
Oh.
Oh, wow.
(CHUCKLES)
Oh.
-Mirror.
-Mirror.
(CHUCKLES)
Wow.
It's like it's my skin.
It's like it's
my soul.
Yeah.
Now you can really see me.
And you can see me.
Oh, yes.
So what's next?
What now?
Now.
Now.
We can bury my mom.
Sure.
-Yes.
-Yes.
(HISSES)
()
()
RUTH: Uh, what are we looking for?
ZOE: A good tomb.
RUTH: Oh.
What are the qualifications?
This is good.
I wrote a eulogy.
That was the first thing I did
when they told me she died.
I was supposed to read it today.
(SNIFFLES)
At her funeral.
Today?
That's why I came to Amsterdam.
I couldn't be there.
You know? I just...
She's mine.
This is how I want to bury her.
You said we could do
what we want now, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
Of course we can.
So can I?
Sure.
ZOE: Okay.
Okay.
Mum.
It's a shame you died.
I'm sure it's unpleasant.
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
But maybe I'm wrong
and it's the most pleasant
feeling in the world.
Am I doing it okay?
Killing it.
It's my first funeral so I...
You're doing great. Yeah.
I love... I love what you're doing.
Okay.
I'm sorry I wanted to bury you by myself.
Away from everyone.
But that's how it is.
I'm sorry about many things
and now that you can't answer me,
I get to say them out loud.
I'm sorry about that time
I made you a really ugly ashtray in DT.
I'm sorry I burned your favorite bra.
(EXHALES)
I put it there to make it
warm so you wouldn't be cold.
I'm sorry about that time we had a fight
because of something I did.
I was so angry and I tore a button
off of each of your shirts.
(SOBS)
I'm sorry I never liked your boyfriend.
(SNIFFLES)
You loved him so much.
So it seemed so natural to hate him.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry I never gave you any compliments.
I didn't want you to get...
(SNIFFLES)
what you wanted from me yet.
I wanted you to work for it.
I don't know why.
I'm a horrible person.
I made a mistake.
Most of the time with you, Mama
I made mistakes.
(SNIFFLES)
I'm so sorry.
(SOBS)
()
()
Can you hug me for a second?
Um...
Please?
Okay.
(SOBS)
(QUACKING IN DISTANCE)
Where'd you learn how to roll
imaginary cigarettes like that?
Boarding school?
Military prison.
Those wedding guests you mentioned.
The wedding.
When was it supposed to?
Tomorrow.
But I canceled.
Why?
Sometimes you wake up
and don't love your boyfriend anymore.
How long were you together?
Seven years.
You loved him for seven
years until yesterday?
Yes.
What happened?
Nothing.
I'm sick of doing everything right.
It's exhausting.
I'm pretty sure I've been
doing everything wrong.
Lucky you.
How did you break it to him?
E-mail.
ZOE: What did you say?
I wrote "it's canceled".
Emailed it to everyone.
But you emailed him,
like, separately, right?
No.
You can't be serious.
Yes.
I have to read that email.
Can you read me the email?
-No.
-Why?
Is that on our bizarre contract?
No, it's just boring.
Not to me.
Can I read it?
Where's the translate...
Here it is.
Hi. It's canceled.
Love, Ruth.
Is this an accurate translation?
Short and professional.
(ZOE GASPS)
No wonder you ran away.
If someone did that to me...
I'd just be like...
I'd just want to die right there,
you know? I mean..
(LAUGHS)
I'd feel so fucking worthless.
Like
wife right now, Ruth.
That is like...
(LAUGHS)
I can't believe you actually...
Why am I telling you this?
Oh, I was just thinking out loud.
Do these mushrooms make you think out loud?
(INHALES)
Oh, sorry.
Sometimes I can't shut up.
I don't know what my problem is.
(GROANS)
Sometimes I just go on
and on when I should just
really shut up.
(SPLASHES)
Ruth?
()
()
ZOE: Ruth!
Ruth!
(GASPS)
-(SPLASHES)
(SPEAKING IN HEBREW)
Oh. Thank God.
Thank God!
(SPEAKING IN HEBREW)
What? What?
What is that?
-Is that "help"?
-No.
-What is it then?
-Olives.
Olives?
(MUNCHES)
(LAUGHS)
It's like you're in love with them.
(GIGGLES)
Every olive here is unique.
They might look the same,
but each tastes different.
Sometimes it takes two to
make a truly unique taste.
Right?
No. Yes.
That too.
Of course.
But look at that green one
that doesn't care about the others.
All it needs is itself.
It just wants to be acknowledged as itself.
But doesn't it need another
olive to acknowledge it?
If it does, then it's fucked.
Why is it fucked?
Because...
Because it depends on another olive.
It's a codependent olive.
Nobody likes a codependent olive.
Well, maybe it has to be, you know?
No.
(GROANS)
Rule number 9.
Fuck rule number 9.
I was scared to death
and I'm angry with you.
(SIGHS)
Don't do that again.
This is exactly what I
wanted to get away from.
I don't care what you
wanted to get away from.
There's no excuse to scaring me like that.
What were you thinking?
-Do you really want to know?
-Please.
Fine.
(SIGHS)
I looked at the water move.
I imagined I was swimming.
I was... I was totally into it.
In my head I was already a mermaid.
And it felt good.
Too good.
Suddenly, my body spoke for me.
Suddenly, I was really in the water
and it was exactly the way I imagined it.
And I forgot all about you.
Okay.
I guess I just...
I needed to be alone for a second.
Fine.
(GROANS) I gotta go get my bag
and check into my hotel soon anyway.
Yeah, okay.
ZOE ILLUSION: Excuse me.
RUTH ILLUSION: Is this seat taken?
What the...
Fuck?
(SPEAKS HEBREW) Cheers.
(GLASS CLINKS)
(EXHALES)
(THUDS)
Oh, God.
What are you waiting for?
Drink up.
Uh, I don't know.
Yeah, I'm not really feeling it.
Drink, drink, drink,
drink, drink, drink,
drink, drink, drink, drink.
Down it.
Drink the fucking shot.
(GULPS)
(GROANS)
I'm gonna be sick.
Feel better?
-No.
-No.
So.
What the fuck were you fighting about?
Yeah.
What's the problem?
Well, it's
nothing.
Hey.
Don't lie to yourself.
What is it?
Can I just...
Tiny question.
-Yes?
-Yes?
Who are you?
We're you.
An hour ago.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Before you fucked things up, apparently.
-Oh.
-Oh.
What happened?
-Well, we buried my mum.
-We went to the canal.
Then we went to chill.
and I had a moment with myself.
and then Ruth just
jumped into the canal.
(OVERLAPPING SPEECH)
I was so scared and I was so alone.
I didn't know what to do.
(SLAP THUDS)
-(GRUNTS)
(GROANS)
Listen.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You two had the most amazing day today.
You might never get
another day like this again.
It's very possible that the
rest of your life after this
will result in utter shit.
A shit load of shit.
An ocean of shit.
Can you surf an ocean of shit?
-I don't think so.
-Yeah. Me neither.
Which is why you need to take your anger
and swallow the fucker.
Flush it down your shattered ego's toilet.
I can't.
-Why?
-Why?
She doesn't know how to be there for me.
Yes, I do.
I just don't want to.
Why the fuck not?
Leave her alone.
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
(CONTRACT RUSTLES)
So. (GRUNTS)
What do you want to do?
What?
I think
we should ride a bike.
Okay.
Do you know how to ride a bike?
Uh...
What does that mean? Do you or don't you?
You're so strange.
Lighten up.
Come on. Let's go.

I wish this chill could last forever
My worries now they weigh like feathers
It's like my mind is on a smoke break
And my heart's taking a bath
And blasting Lana Del Rey
I wish this calm
would last for eternity
Like there aren't a
million wars inside of me
It's like my soul went for a drive
And everyone is waving hi
And the world invites you to stay
Goodbye sad and lonely
Hello
Beautiful day
Fuck off, anxiety
I'm gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay
()

I don't know if I've ever felt better
I wish I could lock
this feeling in a cellar
It's like my mind is on a smoke break
And my heart's taking a bath
And blasting Lana Del Rey
Goodbye sad and lonely
Hello
Beautiful day
Why don't you fuck off, anxiety?
I'm gonna be okay
We're gonna be okay
(QUACKS)
Would you like some mushrooms?
Yes, please.
Oh my God, that's still
the most disgusting thing
I've ever eaten.
(CHUCKLES)
Everything's alive.
It is.
Isn't it too alive?
What if it's too alive?
It's a good thing.
You sure?
Yeah, I'm sure.

What's wrong?
I just need a moment.
(GRUNTS)
Oh, okay.
So I'll
I'll be back.

Fuck!
Ruth!

Ruth!
Fucking hell!
Ruth!
I can't see!
(GRUNTS)
ZOE: Ruth, for fuck's sake!
Come back!
You abandoned me again.
You can't do that!
Zoe!
My British mushroom.
You can't just leave me like that.
I was scared.
I was terrified, I didn't know where I was.
You were supposed to take care of me.
What's wrong with your
eyes? Where did they go?
I don't know.
It's because you rolled them, didn't you?
I don't know why I did.
What will I do?
RUTH: I told you this would happen.
It's not helping.
Maybe this should have happened. Okay?
This will get you to stop
rolling your eyes, right?
Oh, God.
I want to die.
When I was a kid
I used to pretend I was cross-eyed
and looked at the people on the street
to make them feel uncomfortable.
And what happened? Hmm?
What do you think
happened when I was seven?
They got stuck.
I never pretended to be cross-eyed again.
Everything is a lesson, Zoe.
You just have to listen.
What do I do now?
It's all... blurry.
(GRUNTS)
Do you want me to pound you on your head?
No.
You probably think violence
is not the answer,
but I have a strong
feeling it is in this case.
What if I get a concussion?
If you get a concussion you die.
I'm scared.
-I'm scared.
-Don't be scared.
It's temporary.
Let me give you a little slap, okay?
A baby slap.
It'll solve everything.
I'm telling you.
No. It will hurt my feelings.
Do you want to be blind or hurt?
You have to choose.
Which is it?
(SOBS)
Don't be scared.
Don't be.
Shut... Shut up.
Focus on my voice.
Imagine a dog sitting in a room.
What breed?
What breed?
RUTH: A Labrador.
No, no.
A cocker spaniel.
ZOE: Okay, I see it.
RUTH: See it?
-ZOE: Yeah, I see it.
-RUTH: Okay, okay.
So the dog.
Let's name it Matti.
He sits with his bulldog friend, Bob.
Bob is a painter,
and he paints a picture of Matti the dog,
who is extremely handsome.
More than handsome.
He's one hot dog.
-Sweet.
-RUTH: Yes.
So Bob paints this amazing portrait
of Mattie the dog.
And then Matti meets a pinscher
named LeBron for a beer.
They discuss how beautiful Matti the dog is
and how sad it is that
nothing lasts forever.
The world is temporary.
Matti the dog, who's celebrating
his birthday, makes a wish...
CROWD: Happy birthday!
RUTH: to be as pretty
as he is in the portrait.
In real life.
Forever.
ZOE: What cake?
RUTH: Red velvet.
Okay. Go on.
RUTH: Okay.
(GROANS)
RUTH: So handsome Mattie goes home
to meet his girlfriend,
an am staff called Stephanie,
and Matti is really stressed out.
And he's usually not
such a stable dog anyway,
so he dumps her.
(GASPS)
Oh, no.
RUTH: And it breaks her heart.
ZOE: Oh, no.
Her little puppy heart.
RUTH: And she kills herself.
ZOE: Oh, Stephanie!
Oh no!
Yes.
So time goes by.
Years.
Matti the dog looks at the portrait
and sees it grow old and
bitter, unlike his face in reality,
which is still young and pretty.
Matti gets depressed.
He becomes evil.
He... He drinks.
He cheats.
He's mean to people and to dogs.
He hates everyone.
Everything.
He locks the painting in some room
because it's hard to
watch it grow old and bitter.
He would rather see
himself ageless in the mirror.
Matti realizes his wish came true.
He will be forever young and beautiful.
But inside?
He's as ugly as a pug.
That's terrible.
Go on.
So Bob the bulldog
who painted Matti, pays him a visit.
Matti hates his guts for ever
painting that damn portrait.
So he kills him.
He kills Bob?
RUTH: Unfortunately, yes.
And then Matti calls up his cousin
Pepe the poodle,
to help him dump the body.
Pepe helps him and then feels so guilty.
So he kills himself.
(YELPS)
Oh, God.
Eventually Matti realizes he's an asshole
and gets sick of himself.
He decides to destroy the painting
that started all this.
So he takes a knife and tears it apart.
A few days later his neighbors,
the Dobermans
drop by to borrow a leash
and they find him on the floor.
Old and bitter
and ugly with a knife in his heart.
(GASPS)
He killed himself.
Yes.
Why are these dogs so depressed?
Feel better?
(DOG BARKING)
(CHUCKLES)
Yes. Yeah.
(SIGHS)
Thank you.

Do you want to write?
Write what?
A letter.
To who?
To you?
But I'm here.
-Why would I?
-Yeah.
But you'll be different later.
Different?
Yes.
That's why you should write a letter.
To save the feeling.
Box the feeling.
Put the feeling in a box you can open later
when you need it.
How?
Write it down.
Lets write a letter to sober us.
To sober future us.
To sober future depressed us.
Dear Ruth,
you're fabulous.
You have no words to
describe how fabulous you are.
Maybe people will come up
to you one day and tell you that
for some reason, you're not fabulous.
But you and I both know the truth.
You can make mistakes.
You can hurt people when you need to.
You're only human.
But a truly fabulous human.
Love yourself tomorrow
like I've loved you all day today.
You are my love.
Love, me and you.
How do you do that?
What? Write?
Love yourself.
Love myself?
ZOE: Yeah.
How do you do that? (CHUCKLES)
Well, it took me like
35 years to get there.
Show me yours.
What do you got?
I got "Hello".
Hello?
I don't really have that
much in common with myself.
Maybe that's just the relationship
you two have right now.
It's sad, isn't it?
There must be something
nice you can write to yourself.
It's easier to write to someone else.
The eulogy was a piece of cape.
Maybe you have a gift for eulogies.
Why don't you write yourself one?
ZOE: What?
Why don't we throw you a funeral?
No!
So what do you feel like doing?
Oh, why don't we go find me a piano?
I can't move at this point.
I'm commanded to stay.
I command you to come
with me and to find a piano.
What if I don't?
Well, then I'll be disappointed.
Aren't you sick of disappointing everyone?
Hey, if anyone is
disappointed it's their problem.
Yours too if you're the
one disappointing them.
RUTH: Where's fun you?
Can you tell judgmental
you to get the fuck out of here
and drag fun you back?
Fuck you.
One second.
(CREAKS)
(RUTH GRUNTING)
What's that?
A baby piano.
Baby piano?
Let's fix the sound first.
That's the dogs.
I'll mute the people.
Do you want me to turn the birds off too?
Yeah.
I can't concentrate with those bitches on.
As you wish.
This is a D.
Take a drag.
(TAKES A DRAG)
And go where you want to go.

Dear future sober Zoe
when you wake up from
this sweet, sweet dream
don't be afraid of the living or the dead.
Of words or actions.
Try to be brave like Ruth.
Do what you want.
Life is gonna do what it
wants with you anyway.
Dive into cliches.
Fall into traps.
You probably need to cross them out.
Love and hate to a pulp.
Overdo it.
You're allowed to.
Smell things.
Maybe that's what you
haven't been doing until now.
Observing.
Observe.
Stop running, Zoe.
Smell. Look.
Check.
You have the gift of
making everything negative.
Stash that negativity in a bottle
and throw it into the ocean.
Maybe a super optimistic
person will find it and kill himself.
(LAUGHS)
You should sing more.
You should be heard.
(CHUCKLES)
It takes guts to walk into a room
and pretend like you're worth something.
Do it, do it, do it.
(CHUCKLES)
Trust me, Zoe. You've gotta grab this life
by the dick and rape it.
Interesting.(CHUCKLES)
You've got this, Zoe.
I've got you back.
Love, Zoe.
Wow.
(CHUCKLES)
So you're all set.
Uh, yeah.
Oh, wow.
This is going to be one hell of a nap.
Where are you staying?
I'll check.
It's far.
Maybe I'll just check
into this hotel instead?
Can you afford it?
Can you afford it for me?
What?
How far is your hotel?
It's a 40 minute walk.
Oh.
So walk.

It'll be fun.

You tore our contract up.
I saw it.
I just...
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Good.
I hate it when people
make a big deal out of stuff.
Don't you want to see me again?
I'll see you.
You're in my memories.
I see you whenever I want to.
I'll remember you.
You won't remember shit.
Do you know how much you smoked today?
I've never seen anyone smoke that much.
(RUTH CHUCKLES)
RUTH: Thank you.
What?
What?
What are you suggesting?
I mean,
I find it stupid exchanging numbers

You're a kid.
I'm not.

I mean, come on.

It won't last, you know?
You're right.
I get it. Ciao.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(DOOR OPENS)

Sorry.
That was mean.
I get mean when I get close to people.

I wish I could kick that habit,
but then what would I have left, you know?

Exactly.
Hey.
Do you know what we can do?
(CHUCKLES)
What?
I have an idea.
But I need coffee first.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES)
So until when are you here?
(SIPS)
No.
It's like

they shoot the cowboys feet

That's what you do with my questions.
(CHUCKLES)
I answered some of your questions.
ZOE: Barely.
I'll do better, okay?
Okay,
I'll go first.
I'll be here until Sunday.
I'll really be turning 18 next month.
I swear.
I studied law
for a month,
but then I quit.
I have a dog at my dad's.
His name is Sonny.
I'm 34, 35.
Maybe 36 or 37.
(CHUCKLES)
Maybe, just maybe, I'm 39.
(LAUGHS)
I don't want to be dramatic, but I'm just...
Yeah, I'm just trying to
figure this out in my head.
(SIGHS)
This is just...
It's an encounter, right?
It's not...
It's not friendship?
I guess.
So why is it making me feel so sad?
Because you think I'm giving up on you.
But you can't lose what you haven't gained.
You've so gained me.
Not really.
This already started out with an end.
People are expiry dates with legs.
You just see things like that
because your grandparents,
they passed you around like a hot falafel.
(LAUGHS)
Why do you think we met?
I mean, I know what I
needed from the world,
but what did you get?
(SIGHS)
What am I to you?
Am I even something to you?
You're a pearl.
In a shitty world.
It's great name for an album.
RUTH: What am I to you?
I really want to mean something to you.
Uh...
You're kind of like a scarf I bought
in some middle eastern market.
Like everyone's wearing H&M scarves, but
I'm wearing a special one.
One that makes me feel
lucky.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE)
Do you wanna finish this?
No, I'm good.
Hey.
What made you change your mind
about shrooming with me?
Do you know? I have to know.
It's killing me.
You've been obsessing over this for like...
Yeah, six hours.
Yeah.
Okay.
Was it a complete coincidence?
Would you have just gone with just anyone?
That's the thing.
Okay, okay, okay.
How do I... How do I put this?
-Just put it.
-Okay, okay.
So yesterday I woke up
and rolled over to hug my fianc...
My ex fianc.
My ex.
Like I do every morning.
And he opened his arms and we cuddled.
But then I noticed he
smelled like a stranger.
I mean.
He had a different scent.
Well, maybe he just used a new Cologne.
No, no.
He didn't change anything.
My feelings changed.
I smelled no.
You understand?
I smelled a no.
And that was that.
Okay.
And when you asked me to join you,
I smelled a yes.
(CHUCKLES)
You smelled like a yes.
The world smelled of yes.
Okay?(CHUCKLES)
Okay.
RUTH: Go straight, straight.
Little old fat baby steps.
(ZOE LAUGHS)
RUTH: Wait. More.
A bit more.
-Okay.
-Okay. Stop.
Ready?
Ready.
I'm ready.
Ta-Da!
(GASPS)
Wow.
What do you think?
You're a genius.
You could put me in your wallet.
Where am I going to go?
Maybe on my desk, where I write.
I write for a lifestyle magazine.
(CHUCKLES)
Seriously?
I swear.
ZOE: Maybe I'll Google
translate you someday.
Please don't.
(CHUCKLES)
Why am I stressed out?
You know,
I once bought this $2 book in New York
called 'Like Being Killed'.
It's about two women.
They really connected.
And one of them got ill.
So the minute the other
one knew she was sick,
she became obsessed with mourning her death
before she even died.
So the sick one tells her
to focus on now.
She tells her their friendship
is like a song you like to hear.
Like your favorite song.
You hear it and sing to it and dance to it.
And in the last chorus
you feel this sorrow.
(SNIFFLES)
You know it's about to end.
It's like you're being killed.
So.
So maybe
we should think about us
as a song we love.
One we can hear in our heads if we want to.
So this is the last chorus?
Exactly.
Can you hear it play?
(CHUCKLES)
I've been hearing it all day.
I want to cry.
Can I cry?
RUTH: No.
We need to take a picture.
Mhm.
It'll be the cover of the song.
ZOE: Okay.
Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS)
After you.
(GRUNTS)
-Yeah.
(PANTS)
ZOE: What expressions should we make?
RUTH: Let's do all of them all at once.
ZOE: Perfect idea.
RUTH: Thank you.
ZOE: Do you have any change?
RUTH: Let me see.
Here, take my money and give me eternity.
(COIN RATTLES)
ZOE: I think it's broken.
RUTH: No, no.
It just needs a little kick.
(THUDS)
-(BEEPS)
RUTH: Here we go.
All right, it's happening.
-RUTH: Ready?
-ZOE: Ready.
-RUTH: One, two.

Not big enough, apparently.
(LAUGHS)
Listen up, Tel Aviv.
It's your lucky day.

But I also happen to be
a map reading prodigy.
I can read any map. I can get you anywhere.
So don't worry. I got this.
I will take you to your destination.
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
I just need to buy mushrooms
and then we can go.
Oh, it's okay. I'm good.
You could just show me
where we are on the map.
Map girl.
Are you taking the piss?
What?
Are you making fun of me?
I'm trying to be nice and help.
You made fun of yourself first.
Okay. Whatever.
(SIGHS)
Listen, I just spent 5.5 hours
on a really smelly train to get here
and buy mushrooms, but I lost my ID...
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
and mushroom shop
dick won't sell me anything
because he thinks I'm underage.
(CHUCKLES)
This is the third shop I've tried.
Do you mind buying them for me?
Please do that for me.
How old are you?
You're not a junkie, right?
No.
What if you're a clean junkie?
I'm not. I mean I'm...
(LAUGHS) I'm clean,
but I'm not a junkie.
-Can I trust you?
-You can trust me.
Trust me.
-Yeah.
-Thanks.
The Mexican ones, please.
Oh, wait.
Could you ask him if it's okay
to leave this there for an hour?
You're pushing it.
It's fucking heavy.

Thanks.
It's an Israeli thing.
What is?
When you hurt an Israeli
they will always say something bad
about your mother.
To hurt you back, you know?
What do you do when someone hurts you?
I cry.
Mm, this is it.
Well, good luck.
Thank you very much.
(CHUCKLES)
What's happening here?
The torture museum.
Planning on torturing someone?
You never know.
Cool.
Do you wanna come?
No, thanks.
Just sounds like too much fun,
so I'll pass.
Okay.
Thanks for walking me.
Enjoy the mushrooms.
Okay.
Almost nice getting to know you.

MUSEUM SPEAKER: The guillotine,
named after the inventor
of the first guillotine
Joseph Guillotine was created to provide
a more humane method of execution.
It was considered to be more gentle
than sword and axe beheadings.
Guillotine's family
petitioned to change its name
and distance themselves from the concept,
but failed.
The machine had already
become an instant success
and public executions were considered
to be everyone's favorite
new form of entertainment.
(TAKES A DRAG)

Are you waiting for me?
No.
How was the museum?
Very nice, very nice.
Very inspiring.
ZOE: So what are your plans?
What do you mean?
What are you planning to do in Amsterdam?
I don't know. Why?
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
My plan was to take the mushrooms,
but yeah...
The thing is mushroom shop dick said
I shouldn't take them
alone if it's my first time
and I've never done them before.
-So...
-So?
-So...
-So?
-So...
-So?
So I'm here alone.
You're here alone, right?
I mean, you know.
No.
ZOE: Come on, why don't
we take them together?
(CHUCKLES)
No.
-Why not?
-RUTH: I don't know.
I... I sort of came here
to be by myself, so...
I don't see how that would work.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
I came here to be by myself too.
RUTH: Great.
So let's stick to that then.
Okay.
Okay.
Have you ever taken mushrooms?
No.
Well, aren't you even a little bit curious?
I try not to be.
Come on, you look fun and easygoing.
Aren't you?
I don't know, maybe I am.
It just seems weird taking mushrooms
with a total stranger.
ZOE: It'll be weird anyway.
They're magic mushrooms.
It can't not be weird.
Why don't you just take them with me
and then just hallucinate
that you're alone?
You're supposed to do
it with someone you trust.
Don't you trust me already?
I took you to your museum, didn't I?
Back home everyone trusts me.
There aren't many 17 year
olds this responsible in London.
You said you were 20.
20? No, no, no way.
I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
When did I say that?
Before.
Twice.
Okay, I'm 18 next month.
Look at my ID.
Cross my heart.
You said you lost that.
I...
(LAUGHS)
I found it when you were in the museum.
I think I'll pass.
Why?
Are you still worried I'm a junkie?
RUTH: No.
Your teeth.
They're are too pretty.
So what's the problem?
You think I'm gonna rob you?
Steal your phone? Your credit card?
(LAUGHS) I do now.
ZOE: If I was, I would have done it by now.
I don't need your credit card
because I have my mom's credit card, okay?
RUTH: You said you didn't have a mom.
You know what? Forget it. You're right.
I thought you were fun and spontaneous,
but I was wrong. You're just another
annoying tourist.
So never mind.
Shalom.
You roll your eyes too much.
One day they'll get stuck like that
and never come back.
That's none of your business.
RUTH: Okay. Okay.
London.
(SPEAKS HEBREW) Yalla. Okay.
I'll do it.
Quit begging.
Begging?
Are you mental?
If we're going to do this,
we need to set some ground rules.
What ground rules?
One, you give me space.
Two, you don't bother me.
Three,
you don't roll your eyes at me.
I can't control it. It's genetic.
My family, my ancestors have been rolling
their eyes at everyone for centuries.
I literally have no control...
Four,
you stop lying to me.
Five
you don't hit on me.
Why would I hit on you?
Did you like my rules?
No.
And I've got some rules too.
I'm listening.
Why did you change your mind?
()
What rules would you like to add?
Uh...
I'm trying to put it in words.
Something like
if one of us is in
distress, than the other one...
Yeah.
That's what I meant.
I mean, I'm not really in a
'help people in distress' kind of mood.
See, I came from distress.
I ran from distress.
I don't want any distress in Amsterdam.
I have all the distress
I will ever need back in Tel Aviv.
(CHUCKLES) But what if there's
an emergency?
What if I faint or get hit by a bus?
That's a shame.
So
you... you won't help me?
I'm sure someone will.
Well, I'm chucked in the road.
-Bleeding.
-It just probably won't be me.
Screaming for help.
There's no one there but you.
You could ask someone
to call you an ambulance.
So I shouldn't trust you like at all?
No.
Don't.
Well.
Hopefully nothing awful will happen to me.
Even if it does.
It's fine.
I mean, if you have an emergency,
don't worry.
I'll be okay.
I'll just go on on my own.
(CHUCKLES)
You're such a downer.
No expectations.
That's a great one.
So if I get run over
you abandon me.
Just because I'm old enough to be a parent
doesn't make me your parent.
Okay?
That's fine.
I'm used to people abandoning me.
Don't expect them not to.
It will hurt less.
Helping someone in danger is basic.
Maybe.
Oh, God.
Are you just going to be a pain in the ass?
God bless my ass.
Sign here.
ID number.
You're mental.
That's a standard contract.
You sign it first.
Rule number 7.
The youngest is first to sign.
Oh. What are you? A solicitor?
Number 8.
Avoid asking, huh... Ruth about her past.
So are you one?
Hey.
No rolling eyes.
Oh, every rule on this napkin
is another piece of freedom
you're taking away from me.
Are you kidding?
I am your freedom.
RUTH: Ow.
ZOE: Ow.
RUTH: Zoe.
(BELL DINGING)
(QUACKING)
So the setting is perfect.
-Okay.
-Mhm.
We need to take the right
dosage or we might get nauseous.
What's the right dosage?
It doesn't say.
Maybe they mean the whole bag.
Takes 20 minutes till it kicks in,
and it lasts for five hours.
Your perspective will
change and in extreme cases,

Good. I need those.
If you'd like to address personal issues,
make a list and open it later.
Yeah, right.
You will feel emotional,
but in a different way than you know.
If you get stuck in a bad emotion
just think of a positive one.
Okay.

It's so you.

Wow.
Right?
I'm the most beautiful

I'm a genius.
I should get paid to breathe.
You are a genius.
You really captured
stuff.
(LAUGHS)
You deserve...
-You know what?
-What?
Why don't I just I'll just give it to you.
I want to give you an award.
An award?
You've earned it, man
for doing this with me.
Hold on, I want to make it official.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I want to award Ruth
whatever the fuck her last name is
for doing something no
one has ever done before.
In a world where everyone
is exactly the same
she did something slightly different.
(SIGHS)
I am proud to acknowledge her victory
over the entire world.
Oh, wow.
(CHEERING, CLAPPING)
Wow! Wow.
Thank you, I...
(BLOWS RASPBERRY)
Wow. I'm... Let me just...
Okay. Wow.
I didn't prepare a speech.
It all happened so fast.
But I'll try.
First of all
I'd like to thank my
parents for giving me up
and sending me to my grandparents
who sent me to my other grandparents,
who sent me to the kibbutz
that sent me to the Ohel
Shem boarding school.
Thank you.
(CLAPPING)
I also would like to
thank my driving teacher
for showing me where the handbrake is.
Thank you.
You piece of shit.
My pharmacist for always
giving me free vitamins
with my Prozac.
(CLAPS)
At this point, I would like to apologize
to all my wedding guests.
I'm sorry.
I just don't want to marry him anymore.
I know you were counting
on a delicious steak
and middle eastern hits, but
I can't give you that.
I can't give you anything.
I'm sick of giving things.
I want to get things.
It's so simple.
I just want to get things.
That's what I want.
Okay?
So thanks.

I can tell, I can tell,
I can tell, I can tell
RUTH: Ow.
Sorry.
What the fuck?
Hey.
You stepped on me.
What?
Why?
Huh?
But I shouldn't have said sorry,
because you're the one
who did something wrong.
You stepped on me.
I'm sick of being stepped
on and saying sorry for it.
You're European.
You invented "sorry".
Well
actually, I'm from Texas.
Whatever.
You owe me an apology.
Now.
She's right.

Do it.
Say it.
Um...
I'm sorry?
There you go.
You're welcome.

RUTH: Uh, what are we looking for?

What are the qualifications?
This is good.
I wrote a eulogy.
That was the first thing I did
when they told me she died.
I was supposed to read it today.
(SNIFFLES)
At her funeral.
Today?
That's why I came to Amsterdam.
I couldn't be there.
You know? I just...
She's mine.
This is how I want to bury her.
You said we could do
what we want now, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Of course.
Of course we can.
So can I?
Sure.
ZOE: Okay.
Okay.
Mum.
It's a shame you died.
I'm sure it's unpleasant.
(TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
But maybe I'm wrong
and it's the most pleasant
feeling in the world.
Am I doing it okay?
Killing it.
It's my first funeral so I...
You're doing great. Yeah.
I love... I love what you're doing.
Okay.
I'm sorry I wanted to bury you by myself.
Away from everyone.
But that's how it is.
I'm sorry about many things
and now that you can't answer me,
I get to say them out loud.
I'm sorry about that time
I made you a really ugly ashtray in DT.
I'm sorry I burned your favorite bra.
(EXHALES)
I put it there to make it
warm so you wouldn't be cold.
I'm sorry about that time we had a fight
because of something I did.
I was so angry and I tore a button
off of each of your shirts.
(SOBS)
I'm sorry I never liked your boyfriend.
(SNIFFLES)
You loved him so much.
So it seemed so natural to hate him.
(SIGHS)
I'm sorry I never gave you any compliments.
I didn't want you to get...
(SNIFFLES)
what you wanted from me yet.
I wanted you to work for it.
I don't know why.
I'm a horrible person.
I made a mistake.

Where'd you learn how to roll

Those wedding guests you mentioned.
The wedding.
When was it supposed to?
Tomorrow.
But I canceled.
Why?
Sometimes you wake up
and don't love your boyfriend anymore.
How long were you together?
Seven years.
You loved him for seven
years until yesterday?
Yes.
What happened?
Nothing.
I'm sick of doing everything right.
It's exhausting.
I'm pretty sure I've been
doing everything wrong.
Lucky you.
How did you break it to him?
E-mail.
ZOE: What did you say?
I wrote "it's canceled".
Emailed it to everyone.
But you emailed him,
like, separately, right?
No.
You can't be serious.
Yes.
I have to read that email.
Can you read me the email?
-No.
-Why?
Is that on our bizarre contract?
No, it's just boring.
Not to me.
Can I read it?
Where's the translate...
Here it is.
Hi. It's canceled.
Love, Ruth.
Is this an accurate translation?
Short and professional.
(ZOE GASPS)
No wonder you ran away.
If someone did that to me...
I'd just be like...
I'd just want to die right there,
you know? I mean..
(LAUGHS)
I'd feel so fucking worthless.
Like
wife right now, Ruth.
That is like...
(LAUGHS)
I can't believe you actually...
Why am I telling you this?
Oh, I was just thinking out loud.
Do these mushrooms make you think out loud?

Oh, sorry.

-Is that "help"?
-No.
-What is it then?
-Olives.
Olives?
(MUNCHES)
(LAUGHS)
It's like you're in love with them.
(GIGGLES)
Every olive here is unique.
They might look the same,
but each tastes different.
Sometimes it takes two to
make a truly unique taste.
Right?
No. Yes.
That too.
Of course.
But look at that green one
that doesn't care about the others.
All it needs is itself.
It just wants to be acknowledged as itself.
But doesn't it need another
olive to acknowledge it?
If it does, then it's fucked.
Why is it fucked?
Because...
Because it depends on another olive.
It's a codependent olive.
Nobody likes a codependent olive.
Well, maybe it has to be, you know?
No.
(GROANS)
Rule number 9.
Fuck rule number 9.
I was scared to death
and I'm angry with you.
(SIGHS)
Don't do that again.
This is exactly what I
wanted to get away from.
I don't care what you
wanted to get away from.
There's no excuse to scaring me like that.
What were you thinking?
-Do you really want to know?
-Please.
Fine.
(SIGHS)
I looked at the water move.
I imagined I was swimming.
I was... I was totally into it.
In my head I was already a mermaid.
And it felt good.
Too good.
Suddenly, my body spoke for me.
Suddenly, I was really in the water
and it was exactly the way I imagined it.
And I forgot all about you.
Okay.
I guess I just...
I needed to be alone for a second.
Fine.
(GROANS) I gotta go get my bag

What the fuck were you fighting about?
Yeah.
What's the problem?
Well, it's
nothing.
Hey.
Don't lie to yourself.
What is it?
Can I just...
Tiny question.
-Yes?
-Yes?
Who are you?
We're you.
An hour ago.
-Oh.
-Oh.
Before you fucked things up, apparently.
-Oh.
-Oh.
What happened?
-Well, we buried my mum.
-We went to the canal.
Then we went to chill.
and I had a moment with myself.
and then Ruth just
jumped into the canal.

It's very possible that the

will result in utter shit.
A shit load of shit.
An ocean of shit.
Can you surf an ocean of shit?
-I don't think so.
-Yeah. Me neither.
Which is why you need to take your anger
and swallow the fucker.
Flush it down your shattered ego's toilet.
I can't.
-Why?
-Why?
She doesn't know how to be there for me.
Yes, I do.
I just don't want to.

Come back!
You abandoned me again.
You can't do that!
Zoe!
My British mushroom.
You can't just leave me like that.
I was scared.
I was terrified, I didn't know where I was.
You were supposed to take care of me.
What's wrong with your
eyes? Where did they go?
I don't know.
It's because you rolled them, didn't you?
I don't know why I did.
What will I do?
RUTH: I told you this would happen.
It's not helping.
Maybe this should have happened. Okay?
This will get you to stop
rolling your eyes, right?
Oh, God.
I want to die.
When I was a kid
I used to pretend I was cross-eyed
and looked at the people on the street
to make them feel uncomfortable.
And what happened? Hmm?
What do you think
happened when I was seven?
They got stuck.
I never pretended to be cross-eyed again.
Everything is a lesson, Zoe.
You just have to listen.
What do I do now?
It's all... blurry.
(GRUNTS)
Do you want me to pound you on your head?
No.
You probably think violence
is not the answer,
but I have a strong
feeling it is in this case.
What if I get a concussion?
If you get a concussion you die.
I'm scared.
-I'm scared.
-Don't be scared.
It's temporary.
Let me give you a little slap, okay?
A baby slap.
It'll solve everything.
I'm telling you.
No. It will hurt my feelings.
Do you want to be blind or hurt?
You have to choose.
Which is it?
(SOBS)
Don't be scared.
Don't be.
Shut... Shut up.
Focus on my voice.
Imagine a dog sitting in a room.
What breed?
What breed?
RUTH: A Labrador.
No, no.
A cocker spaniel.
ZOE: Okay, I see it.
RUTH: See it?
-ZOE: Yeah, I see it.
-RUTH: Okay, okay.
So the dog.
Let's name it Matti.
He sits with his bulldog friend, Bob.
Bob is a painter,
and he paints a picture of Matti the dog,
who is extremely handsome.
More than handsome.
He's one hot dog.
-Sweet.
-RUTH: Yes.
So Bob paints this amazing portrait
of Mattie the dog.
And then Matti meets a pinscher
named LeBron for a beer.
They discuss how beautiful Matti the dog is
and how sad it is that
nothing lasts forever.
The world is temporary.
Matti the dog, who's celebrating
his birthday, makes a wish...
CROWD: Happy birthday!
RUTH: to be as pretty
as he is in the portrait.
In real life.
Forever.
ZOE: What cake?
RUTH: Red velvet.
Okay. Go on.
RUTH: Okay.
(GROANS)
RUTH: So handsome Mattie goes home
to meet his girlfriend,
an am staff called Stephanie,
and Matti is really stressed out.
And he's usually not
such a stable dog anyway,
so he dumps her.
(GASPS)
Oh, no.
RUTH: And it breaks her heart.
ZOE: Oh, no.
Her little puppy heart.
RUTH: And she kills herself.
ZOE: Oh, Stephanie!
Oh no!
Yes.
So time goes by.
Years.
Matti the dog looks at the portrait
and sees it grow old and
bitter, unlike his face in reality,
which is still young and pretty.
Matti gets depressed.
He becomes evil.
He... He drinks.
He cheats.
He's mean to people and to dogs.
He hates everyone.
Everything.
He locks the painting in some room
because it's hard to
watch it grow old and bitter.
He would rather see
himself ageless in the mirror.
Matti realizes his wish came true.
He will be forever young and beautiful.
But inside?
He's as ugly as a pug.
That's terrible.
Go on.
So Bob the bulldog
who painted Matti, pays him a visit.
Matti hates his guts for ever
painting that damn portrait.
So he kills him.
He kills Bob?
RUTH: Unfortunately, yes.
And then Matti calls up his cousin
Pepe the poodle,
to help him dump the body.
Pepe helps him and then feels so guilty.
So he kills himself.
(YELPS)
Oh, God.
Eventually Matti realizes he's an asshole
and gets sick of himself.
He decides to destroy the painting
that started all this.
So he takes a knife and tears it apart.
A few days later his neighbors,
the Dobermans
drop by to borrow a leash
and they find him on the floor.
Old and bitter
and ugly with a knife in his heart.
(GASPS)
He killed himself.
Yes.
Why are these dogs so depressed?
Feel better?
(DOG BARKING)

Yes. Yeah.

Dear Ruth,
you're fabulous.
You have no words to
describe how fabulous you are.
Maybe people will come up
to you one day and tell you that
for some reason, you're not fabulous.
But you and I both know the truth.
You can make mistakes.
You can hurt people when you need to.
You're only human.
But a truly fabulous human.
Love yourself tomorrow
like I've loved you all day today.
You are my love.
Love, me and you.
How do you do that?
What? Write?
Love yourself.
Love myself?
ZOE: Yeah.
How do you do that? (CHUCKLES)
Well, it took me like
35 years to get there.
Show me yours.
What do you got?
I got "Hello".
Hello?
I don't really have that
much in common with myself.
Maybe that's just the relationship
you two have right now.
It's sad, isn't it?
There must be something
nice you can write to yourself.
It's easier to write to someone else.
The eulogy was a piece of cape.
Maybe you have a gift for eulogies.
Why don't you write yourself one?
ZOE: What?
Why don't we throw you a funeral?
No!
So what do you feel like doing?
Oh, why don't we go find me a piano?
I can't move at this point.
I'm commanded to stay.
I command you to come
with me and to find a piano.
What if I don't?
Well, then I'll be disappointed.
Aren't you sick of disappointing everyone?
Hey, if anyone is
disappointed it's their problem.
Yours too if you're the
one disappointing them.
RUTH: Where's fun you?
Can you tell judgmental
you to get the fuck out of here
and drag fun you back?
Fuck you.
One second.

Dear future sober Zoe
when you wake up from

don't be afraid of the living or the dead.
Of words or actions.
Try to be brave like Ruth.
Do what you want.
Life is gonna do what it
wants with you anyway.
Dive into cliches.
Fall into traps.
You probably need to cross them out.
Love and hate to a pulp.
Overdo it.
You're allowed to.
Smell things.
Maybe that's what you
haven't been doing until now.
Observing.

Stop running, Zoe.
Smell. Look.
Check.
You have the gift of
making everything negative.
Stash that negativity in a bottle
and throw it into the ocean.
Maybe a super optimistic
person will find it and kill himself.

You're in my memories.
I see you whenever I want to.
I'll remember you.
You won't remember shit.
Do you know how much you smoked today?
I've never seen anyone smoke that much.
(RUTH CHUCKLES)
RUTH: Thank you.
What?
What?
What are you suggesting?
I mean,
I find it stupid exchanging numbers
and being friends.
You're a kid.
I'm not.
London.
Tel Aviv.
I mean, come on.
Let's be realistic.
It won't last, you know?
You're right.
I get it. Ciao.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)
(DOOR OPENS)
Wait!
Sorry.
That was mean.
I get mean when I get close to people.
When I'm too comfortable, I become a bitch.
I wish I could kick that habit,
but then what would I have left, you know?
Feelings?
Exactly.
Hey.
Do you know what we can do?
(CHUCKLES)
What?
I have an idea.
But I need coffee first.
Okay.
(CHUCKLES)
So until when are you here?
(SIPS)
No.
It's like
in an old western when
they shoot the cowboys feet
and he dances to dodge the bullets.
That's what you do with my questions.
(CHUCKLES)
I answered some of your questions.
ZOE: Barely.
I'll do better, okay?
Okay,
I'll go first.
I'll be here until Sunday.
I'll really be turning 18 next month.
I swear.
I studied law
for a month,
but then I quit.
I have a dog at my dad's.
His name is Sonny.
I'm 34, 35.
Maybe 36 or 37.
(CHUCKLES)
Maybe, just maybe, I'm 39.
(LAUGHS)
I don't want to be dramatic, but I'm just...
Yeah, I'm just trying to
figure this out in my head.
(SIGHS)
This is just...
It's an encounter, right?
It's not...
It's not friendship?
I guess.
So why is it making me feel so sad?
Because you think I'm giving up on you.
But you can't lose what you haven't gained.
You've so gained me.
Not really.
This already started out with an end.
People are expiry dates with legs.
You just see things like that
because your grandparents,
they passed you around like a hot falafel.
(LAUGHS)
Why do you think we met?
I mean, I know what I
needed from the world,
but what did you get?
(SIGHS)
What am I to you?
Am I even something to you?
You're a pearl.
In a shitty world.
It's great name for an album.
RUTH: What am I to you?
I really want to mean something to you.
Uh...
You're kind of like a scarf I bought
in some middle eastern market.
Like everyone's wearing H&M scarves, but
I'm wearing a special one.
One that makes me feel
lucky.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE)
Do you wanna finish this?
No, I'm good.
Hey.
What made you change your mind
about shrooming with me?
Do you know? I have to know.
It's killing me.
You've been obsessing over this for like...
Yeah, six hours.
Yeah.
Okay.
Was it a complete coincidence?
Would you have just gone with just anyone?
That's the thing.
Okay, okay, okay.
How do I... How do I put this?
-Just put it.
-Okay, okay.
So yesterday I woke up
and rolled over to hug my fianc...
My ex fianc.
My ex.
Like I do every morning.
And he opened his arms and we cuddled.
But then I noticed he
smelled like a stranger.
I mean.
He had a different scent.
Well, maybe he just used a new Cologne.
No, no.
He didn't change anything.
My feelings changed.
I smelled no.
You understand?
I smelled a no.
And that was that.
Okay.
And when you asked me to join you,
I smelled a yes.
(CHUCKLES)
You smelled like a yes.
The world smelled of yes.
Okay?(CHUCKLES)
Okay.
RUTH: Go straight, straight.
Little old fat baby steps.
(ZOE LAUGHS)
RUTH: Wait. More.
A bit more.
-Okay.
-Okay. Stop.
Ready?
Ready.
I'm ready.
Ta-Da!
(GASPS)
Wow.
What do you think?
You're a genius.
You could put me in your wallet.
Where am I going to go?
Maybe on my desk, where I write.
I write for a lifestyle magazine.
(CHUCKLES)
Seriously?
I swear.
ZOE: Maybe I'll Google
translate you someday.
Please don't.
(CHUCKLES)
Why am I stressed out?
You know,
I once bought this $2 book in New York
called 'Like Being Killed'.
It's about two women.
They really connected.
And one of them got ill.
So the minute the other
one knew she was sick,
she became obsessed with mourning her death
before she even died.
So the sick one tells her
to focus on now.
She tells her their friendship
is like a song you like to hear.
Like your favorite song.
You hear it and sing to it and dance to it.
And in the last chorus
you feel this sorrow.
(SNIFFLES)
You know it's about to end.
It's like you're being killed.
So.
So maybe
we should think about us
as a song we love.
One we can hear in our heads if we want to.
So this is the last chorus?
Exactly.
Can you hear it play?
(CHUCKLES)
I've been hearing it all day.
I want to cry.
Can I cry?
RUTH: No.
We need to take a picture.
Mhm.
It'll be the cover of the song.
ZOE: Okay.
Yeah.
(LAUGHS)
(GRUNTS)
After you.
(GRUNTS)
-Yeah.
(PANTS)
ZOE: What expressions should we make?
RUTH: Let's do all of them all at once.
ZOE: Perfect idea.
RUTH: Thank you.
ZOE: Do you have any change?
RUTH: Let me see.
Here, take my money and give me eternity.
(COIN RATTLES)
ZOE: I think it's broken.
RUTH: No, no.
It just needs a little kick.
(THUDS)
-(BEEPS)
RUTH: Here we go.
All right, it's happening.
-RUTH: Ready?
-ZOE: Ready.
-RUTH: One, two.
-ZOE: One, two.
