Eternity (2025) Movie Script
1
Where should we go?
Couldn't hear you.
What did you say?
Well, where should we go?
Hawaii is the obvious choice.
Hawaii is the obvious choice.
Just think about it. Stop that.
Will you stop and listen? Please!
There's a reason that people convalesce at
the beach.
People complain about sand getting
everywhere.
- I'll be happy...
- [INAUDIBLE]
The Rockies are cozy.
The cold isn't bitter there. It's warm.
Cold is just cold, Joan.
It's the kind of place you could spend
forever.
It's 84 degrees in Naples today.
Italy?
Florida.
We're not Florida people, Larry.
- Oh, God, Joan, that sounds so snobby.
- We're not Florida people.
You know, you sound like Karen.
Karen is my friend and she is not well.
Well, we don't have to make people into
saints just because they're dying.
Jesus, Larry.
Look, it's got mountains and ice and snow.
So many things for you to complain about.
You will love it.
I don't love to complain.
That's not something people love.
I don't want to fight. It's a big day.
You know people die at these things?
I saw it on the internet.
It's a gender reveal party.
I mean, I get eliminating the surprise.
Can we just let them make a fuss?
But it's not party worthy.
You know, one of the great joys of my life
has been allowing for surprises.
Do you remember when you were convinced
that Zach would be a girl?
- Everything has to be a party nowadays.
- We just don't like parties.
No, no. You just hate having fun.
It's pre-school graduations now.
That's it. You're only happy when you're miserable.
You're five. You don't know anything.
Look, can we just enjoy it?
It's a big party. Big party.
Larry, can we just enjoy it, okay?
- Asshole!
- I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it.
Joan.
Joan.
We have to tell them.
I know.
Just give me today.
Sam, can you grab the balloons?
We're back.
Hi, you look lovely.
Nice to see you.
I'll be right back.
Hey.
Good to see you.
My dears.
Let's go to some cake.
Sam, the balloons.
I have the balloons in my hand.
Thanks for agreeing to host, Papa.
She's gonna be a boy.
How do you know that?
Because it's so low.
A boy.
So, coming up on 65 years of marriage,
any tips?
You burst one of those balloons and you'll
never find out.
Oh, uh, Nana.
We found a bunch of your old pictures in
the basement.
Oh, thanks, sweetie.
Who is that?
Papa was in the army?
No, sweetie.
That was Nana's stupidly attractive first
husband.
Jesus Christ, he's a dapper man.
Why would you leave him for Papa?
No, sweetie.
Luke was a soldier and, um, he died at
war.
Larry, you got really lucky, my friend.
I bet he would have been a good dad.
That's not how biology works.
Larry?
He's just being funny.
Shut up, Zach.
Larry, are you okay?
Guess you weren't expecting it.
What the hell is going on?
These gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen,
we have now reached the junction.
Well,
I guess the surgery didn't go so well.
There's something that scared me.
I don't understand that.
Did I just flat-frag it?
Time to take a picture.
Disorientation is normal.
What?
Take a grated section.
What is going on?
Hey, all the fun of the Middle Ages,
none of the leprosy.
Hey, you want to party?
Party all night, party all the time.
Hey, Valley, good to see you.
You must be noose.
Where am I?
Jessica?
He hasn't made contact yet.
Jessica?
What is this?
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Hi, can you help me?
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Are you an A.C.?
Yes, but I'm not your A.C.
Come.
Jessica?
Jeff?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you guys are getting married.
Oh, this is... I
know you're fine.
Hi, do you work here?
No, honey, I'm here for my health.
Listen, I think I've been abducted.
You haven't been abducted.
Well, where's my family?
Where's Joan?
Where am I?
You're in the junction.
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Be with me shortly?
Yeah.
Next arrival in 15 minutes.
Final train from junction 301 departing in
five minutes.
Oh, Jill, this is all noise.
I know you, Jill.
You just want a box of Chardonnay in a
pool.
I do like Chardonnay.
Well, then I have the Eternity for you.
Okay.
Straight ahead.
Oh, fuck.
Ugh.
Little bitch.
Uh, Larry Cutler?
Yeah?
Is there a Larry Cutler here?
That's me.
Larry Cut... That's me.
Oh, hey, man.
I'm so sorry they had me at a whole other
gate.
Who are you?
I'm Anna.
I'm your A.C.
What does that stand for?
Your afterlife coordinator.
That's not a job.
You've passed away, Larry.
No.
You're dead.
No, not... I hit my head and...
It's a girl.
Walk with me.
Oh.
All right, listen, so I was sitting
with my family, and then I, uh... Died.
No, Anna, whatever you're trying to...
That's not sore.
Look, Larry.
What the hell is this happening?
When you get here, your form reverts to
its happiest self.
It can be any age.
Larry, wake up.
That's where lots of 10-year-old boys,
but not a lot of teenagers, though.
Ah, shit.
Joan.
Joan, my wife.
I need to... I need to go back.
Oh, Larry, look on the bright side.
At least your penis works again.
Hey, Anna.
My...
My penis always works.
There's no need to feel shame here.
We've seen it all.
Yeah, well, if I was
dead, I wouldn't really
care about the
functionality in my penis.
I wouldn't be embarrassed and annoyed with
you right now, because you're not supposed
to be annoyed in heaven.
Why, they tell you such strange things,
darling.
Larry, what is a soul?
Uh...
I don't know.
Well, I suppose it's the perfect version
of yourself.
No.
It's just you.
No, that can't be right.
If you're annoyed a lot in life, Larry,
then you might be annoyed a lot in death.
Were you annoyed a lot in life,
Larry?
Larry, listen to me.
My wife really needs me right now.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't work like that.
Wake up, Larry.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Come on, buddy.
Come on.
What the hell is that?
If you were dreaming, you wouldn't feel
that pain.
I... I didn't feel that.
You know, usually you old fellas really
chirp up with the whole penis thing.
Listen to me.
I need to talk to God, okay?
That's what I want.
I want to speak with the big guy.
Okay, so you're one of those.
I don't know why you didn't say that in
the first place.
We've got tons of eternities.
What are you?
New Testament?
Old Testament?
Hindu?
Buddhist?
Pick your poison.
Hold on.
Is God not real?
I don't know, but listen.
After a couple hundred
years of one of these
eternities, you won't
even know the difference.
Who do you work for?
I work for Frank.
Okay, and then who does Frank work for?
Frank works for time.
Why does it even matter?
Come on.
We don't have time.
I want other clients, Larry.
Please.
Okay, well, I'm sorry for assuming that
paradise would look a little less like life.
This isn't paradise.
This is just a brief transition between
life and eternity.
Oh, you've learned that life aren't an
eternity.
I have.
It's just something we say.
Everybody gets an eternity.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
So all that live a good life stuff was a
bunch of crap?
Afraid so.
Red door escaping.
Do not engage.
Oh, that?
Don't worry about that.
Just don't run through any red doors.
Larry, let's go.
Let's go.
So this is where I'm staying, huh?
For now, until you choose the right
eternity for you.
We'll get into all that later.
I think now's a good time.
I'm dead.
Hey, there you go.
Acceptance.
We have some of your favorite clothes in
the closet in case you want to check it out.
Anna?
Didn't 1840s Ireland have a
devastating famine caused by a
potato blight and the British
exporting all their other food?
Well, not here.
Ever wanted to be the captain of your own?
Do you hate clothes?
But you need them to keep warm.
While here in natural state 454,
it's always a balmy 72 degrees.
He's cardiacing really hard.
Suction, goddammit.
We lost him.
But you found me.
If you suffered a violent, uh,
phase three type of tumor after... Sir?
You know, I did, uh, experiment in
college.
Yeah, that's definitely a perfect moment.
Hi there.
Hi.
Confusing time, huh?
Yes, actually.
Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm... I'm married.
What if I, uh, told you I could secure you
a spot in the hottest eternity?
Marge, you know the policy.
No selling in the bar.
No selling in the bar.
Something strong, please.
First day?
So what are you, like an angel or
something?
I don't know.
I'm a bartender.
Oh, shit.
Do I have to get a job?
Only if you want to stay here.
So what are you thinking about,
for where you want to go from here?
I don't know, somewhere sunny with a
beach, I guess.
But my wife won't like that, so I can't
stay for long.
Did your A.C.
go over the rules?
No, but she seemed busy.
All right, well, look,
the big thing is there's
no switching eternities
after you've chosen.
No visiting other eternities.
No nothing.
Eternity is eternity.
It's forever.
What if I didn't go along with the rules?
What are they going to do, kill me again?
Technically, they can't kill you again.
But you break a rule, you overstay your
welcome, or you try switching eternities.
..
they'll put you into the void.
Is that like hell?
As close as there is.
It's just blackness.
For eternity.
My wife has cancer.
It's terminal.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Worst part about death is the guilt you
feel for the ones you left behind.
I know, and I told her that I was always
going to take care of her.
And now she's sick, and I deal with all
this.
Can I get a mixture with that?
That is absolutely disgusting.
Morning, sleepyhead.
I see.
What the hell?
What's going on?
How did you get in here?
Larry, you don't remember.
Remember what?
No, we didn't.
Did we?
No, I'm just joking.
I have the key.
Why do you have a key?
It's not important.
So, you seemed to have a good time last
night.
I'm dead.
You wouldn't think hangovers would be a
thing.
I know, right?
It's a common misconception.
I had a question.
Mm-hmm.
Hit me with it.
So, everyone working here, they don't want
to go to their eternity.
Really?
Why?
Some people haven't accepted death.
And some people are waiting for their
loved ones.
And others haven't decided yet.
And those are the worst ones.
Why did you say?
That is a story for another time.
So, tell me, where are you going?
Did you decide?
No, I need to see where Joan is.
How can I tell how close she is?
No, I'm sorry.
It doesn't work like that.
I can't do that.
So, all that looking down from above
stuff, that's just a bunch of BS?
Mm.
You're annoyed?
No, I'm not annoyed.
You look annoyed.
What about everybody who died before me?
Where's my parents?
How do I see them?
Oh, you could definitely go see your
parents.
But then, you know, you'd be
just... Be with my parents for eternity.
Eternity.
That's why we usually recommend for you to
do you.
And just know that everyone is existing
pretty damn good.
You know what I mean?
You know, Joan always
thought of death as
one more surprise
waiting around the corner.
And she loves surprises.
But she was a librarian though,
right?
Yeah, they can like surprises too.
Oh.
So, if I wanted to wait, what do I have to
do?
Get a job?
Be a bartender?
No, you wish.
It's cleaning work.
Do you know how to do laundry?
Yeah.
At least the room is nice.
Yeah.
But it's for clients.
So, if you don't decide, then you have to
go...
Well, I was told there is no hell.
The basement?
Uh-huh.
The rooms are more functional in the
basement?
Mm-hmm.
Jesus, you went straight to hell.
Hey, sir.
You look like you hate people.
Try Herman's World.
Hi.
It's me.
Do you want a little sniffle?
And you?
No, sir.
It could be tomorrow.
Or she could hang on for another,
what, six or seven months?
I mean, I guess I could set everything up
for her, and I could, you know,
make sure it's how she likes it,
really make it feel like home.
Larry, that is so romantic.
Yeah, I guess it is a little romantic.
It's so romantic.
I can be romantic.
I...
Because I know how she likes things.
You do.
I really think you picked a good one.
You are not gonna like it.
You're not going to regret this,
lady.
Hey, uh, would you do me a favor?
Yeah, sure can do.
Could you give Joan this letter for me?
No can do.
That's against the rules.
Plus, why do you need a letter when you're
there with me?
Beech Lounge 239.
Now boarding at gate 12.
It was a pleasure working with you.
Sorry.
Oh, oh.
Shoot.
Okay.
Disorientation is normal.
Oh, excuse me.
Excuse me.
So, where am I?
Your A.C.
will explain everything.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, it's just...
Honey, your A.C.
will explain everything.
Joan!
Joan!
Joan!
Hey!
Sweetie.
Ah, sweetie.
I missed you so much.
Wow, look at you.
Wow.
I love this.
I was in bed and then I...
And then I just came from the...
Baby, you look amazing.
Oh, every time.
Ow.
God, every damn time, Larry.
What?
I told you to slow down on the pretzels.
But you, no, no, you never listen.
I know, I know.
You never... Oh,
you stop smiling.
Jo?
Yeah.
Listen to me, honey.
I have shocking news.
You're dead.
I'm dead?
Yeah.
How'd you know?
I mean...
It took him forever to figure that out.
Not forever.
Forever.
No.
So, you are the famous Joan.
Okay, Larry.
Way to marry up.
Yeah.
So, uh, what, what now?
Yeah.
Yeah, so now...
Was it cancer that took you away from the
world?
So, who are you?
Okay, honey, so listen.
Now we finally get to have that holiday.
And basically, we can go anywhere we want,
but then that's it.
It's like a one and done thing here.
They're very strict on that.
Um, and if you want to go
to the mountains, we can,
because the snow and the
cold's not gonna kill you now.
Because you're dead.
Back away from my client.
Back away from my client.
Back away.
Shut up.
I've been waiting for this golden goose
for 67 goddamn years.
Larry.
Yeah, excuse me.
Excuse me.
I'm so sorry about her.
Who is that?
I'm Brian.
I'm your afterlife coordinator.
I know this can be very, very
overwhelming.
It's a lot to absorb, so I highly recommend
just taking a deep breath in and out.
Just breathe out.
Oh.
Hey, what's going on, guy?
This was my, uh, bartender.
I, um, I guess I forgot to pay the tab.
I didn't realize there'd be a tab.
Nobody gave me any money.
No.
Way.
Sorry, I forgot to ask your name.
What's your name again?
Brian.
I'm Luke.
This is Luke.
He's my bartender.
I never dreamt you this clearly.
You're exactly how I dreamt you.
Who?
Hard luck, Mary.
No.
Luke had a mustache.
Yeah, but Joanie
hated it, so I shaved it off
every morning, hoping
she's gonna show up.
Oh, my God!
Okay, sweetie.
Okay.
Oh.
What are you doing?
Larry.
Okay, sweetie.
Hi.
Let's go.
Who's this guy?
The second husband.
I prefer current husband.
The current husband.
Oh.
Joanie, you all right?
Oh, my God.
Honey, it was a lot for me, too.
Joanie?
Okay, I have to insist that I explain
exactly what's going on to my client.
She clearly has
a very... Oh, boy.
...difficult decision to make.
Okay.
I'll hold that.
Come on.
Oh, my God.
He's really here.
I'm very attracted.
Is he talking?
So when you said you were waiting...
I conjured her image every day in my mind.
I thought I did a good job, but she's more
stunning than I remember.
Okay.
That's a lie, Luke.
You were my bartender.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
How do you look so young?
This will have to do.
Was he always that young?
It's a lot to take in.
The love of your life waiting 67 years.
And Larry...
Larry is my husband.
One of two.
Yeah.
Oh, that's pretty.
You'll feel much better after you change
out of that morbid ensemble.
Yeah, that's pretty.
What's your ETA, doll?
How's it looking?
So what am I supposed to do?
I need you to tell me what to do.
Oh, my dear.
Okay.
I read your file.
And you are smart, passionate,
and decisive.
Oh, I am.
I have complete faith that
you will choose the right
eternity and the right
person to spend it with.
You'll do.
Do for what?
Were you expecting someone?
Were you?
God, Luke.
What a surprise.
What the hell?
Please.
It's Ryan.
And it's been Ryan for the last half hour.
You look amazing.
I'm married.
To him.
To Larry.
And Larry seems nice.
Look, Joan.
You must have thought or hoped that this
might happen.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, you know.
I have imagined it.
Great.
I'll leave you kids to it.
Hi.
Did you even read my file?
You're more than words on a page to me,
buddy.
And you didn't even bring it up.
Yeah, well, I had a lot on my mind.
I just died.
So I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that
my wife's ex might be hanging around.
Technically, I don't think we can call him
her ex.
First husband may be, but not her.
No, I'm not calling him.
I'm never calling him that.
Okay.
I'm just trying to anticipate what Ryan's
going to say.
We have history.
Great.
What kind of history?
It was sexual.
Of course it was.
You're not even one of this case.
So many people.
What?
A man that's waited half a century for his
love.
That's kind of sad if you think about it.
You really think that's the way that Jones
wants to think about it?
I don't know.
It's okay.
I'm sure they've had one of these before.
I mean, I don't know about it.
I've never had it.
But I bet you there's a process.
He looks like Montgomery Cliff.
Whoo!
Oh, my gosh.
I was saying this just the other day.
Montgomery Cliff.
He is so handsome.
Luke is so handsome.
You're not helping.
I'm sorry, but it is what it is.
Luke is hot.
His eyes are bluer than the ocean.
He has a better narrative.
No, he doesn't.
I have a better narrative.
I was married to her for 65 years,
and I gave her children.
Exactly.
We go with that.
That's strong.
There's nothing more powerful than
emotional blackmail.
Right?
Good on ya.
So, how have you been?
Good.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I've been obviously dead,
but, you know, good.
Well, you look good.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, you always, you always
looked, you always looked good.
Oh, yeah.
Coming from you, huh?
Oh.
Yeah.
I, uh...
I, I don't know what to say.
It's...
Boy, I had a long time to think about what
I was gonna say.
Yeah, I had a long, long time.
And?
I'm drawing a blank.
Oh.
Boy, you're cold as ever.
Oh, God.
Cold as ever is what I'm gonna go through.
Oh, what the hell?
Hey.
Gary.
Hey, Luke.
You working tonight?
No, not tonight.
Tonight, night off.
Wait.
Is this?
No.
Joe?
Huh?
No!
No!
No, please!
Move it!
I can't look.
I got another goddamn painting.
Let her go.
I hate you.
Oh, I'm like your lady.
Got it!
Hey!
I'm sick of this crap!
Get in here now!
Museum world's the worst!
What?
What did he do?
Oh, he tried to escape his eternity.
Once you're chosen, you can't go back.
You have to get it right.
Well, that's a lot of pressure.
Yeah, it is.
Look, I remembered what I wanted to say to
you first.
What?
I love you.
Oh.
That's a...
That's a good opener.
Yeah.
Look, I know this is hard for you.
But I missed you.
I thought about you every single day.
There wasn't a day that went by that I
didn't think of you.
Yeah.
You know, I...
I wanted you to be happy.
I wanted you to have a life.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
But I waited.
You know, I waited because I wanted us to
have a chance to have one, too.
I'm gonna be sick.
You okay?
Oh, God, why can't you get sick here?
You all right?
Luke, Luke, please.
I need to think.
Okay.
Hey, sweetie.
So, I know this is a lot, but don't worry,
I've been doing the research.
And here are some pretty good options.
My options?
Yeah, for our eternity.
Wow.
You really look amazing.
The long hair suits you.
Oh, everything works here.
Oh, Larry.
What do you mean, Larry?
Well, it's complicated.
We were together a week ago.
Yeah, well, a lot has happened in a week.
You died, Karen died, I died.
I'd just been reunited with both of my
dead husbands.
And I learned that I have only a week to
pick where to spend eternity.
Karen finally kicked it.
It's a big week for Oakdale.
Hey.
I know what'll make you feel better.
Oh, what?
Squatting.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Just try it.
Fine.
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
I know, right?
I got so low there.
You did get so low there.
Feels so good.
Been doing a bunch of stuff.
Been good.
Nice.
Work it out.
I miss these hips.
Look at this.
You were right.
That did make me feel better.
I knew.
Are you kidding me?
It's too much salt.
I need time.
Okay?
I...
I just need to clear my head.
Okay.
You're right.
I'm being insensitive.
And we can talk about it in the morning.
Okay.
Thank you.
These are so stupid.
Are you kidding me?
What are you doing?
I'm going to bed.
I'm tired, too.
Long day for me.
Sorry, buddy, but your seven days are up.
Holy crap.
Holy crap, for God's sake, bloody hell.
Are you sure you're not religious?
Hey, hey, hey, is he here?
Oh, yeah, he is, but it's sad,
actually.
No, he's my Joe's favorite.
Him?
Yeah, she loves him.
Really?
He's the best.
Oh, okay.
And do you know him?
Yeah, of course I know him.
Would he do you a favor?
Who you talking to?
It's me, obviously, duh.
Oh, you're sure?
Him, yes.
Okay.
Wow, look at this.
Single bed.
That's nice, right?
We got ourselves here a kitchenette.
Handy.
Let's see what's in that fridge.
Oh, my gosh.
You are in luck.
You know what?
It's fine.
You sort this out for me.
I'll be out of here in no time.
Oh, I love it.
You are focused.
It's hummus.
No, it's not.
Ever think 1930s Germany?
Would have been great.
If it wasn't for all the Nazis.
We'll think no more.
Oh, Larry.
I know, I know, but I got a surprise for
you.
I actually need less surprises.
Like, just, you know, zero surprises.
Joan, I promise you're gonna like this.
You trust me, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
She trusts me.
You look incredible.
Thanks, honey.
Yeah.
Are you excited?
Sure.
Got any ideas what it could be?
Nope.
Here we go.
Oh, that's sweet.
Look at you.
That's for you.
Need a little bubbles.
Oh, that's, um, yeah, that's sweet.
What?
Oh, no, that's not it.
Oh, gosh.
Lights!
What is that?
Wait, Larry.
Everybody loves somebody...
What did I tell you?
What did I tell you?
That's our guy.
Everybody falls in
love somehow... I know.
Did I do good or what?
Oh, you really did.
You did.
He sounds amazing.
Oh, he looks great.
Gosh, he really does.
Oh, okay.
Guess he still likes to drink.
He's just, you know, a little rusty here.
Still for Jill.
Joan.
Treat me to dinner.
Are you sure that's Dean Martin?
I don't... He's here.
Oh, shit.
Who the hell is this?
That's not Dean Martin.
Maybe.
Of course not.
It's Richard Johnson.
Oh, no.
Celebrity impersonators die too,
Larry.
Why wouldn't you tell me?
I thought you knew.
I thought it was really weird.
You kept saying, this is Joanie's
favorite.
I was like, Richard?
Richard is Joanie's favorite?
You knew that's not what I meant.
Well, now that I say that out loud,
I understand that it does not make sense.
Please, I'm so lonely, baby.
Also, he has a crippling
alcohol problem, and I
forgot to mention that
to you, and that's my bad.
That is your bad?
I can't fathom a scenario in which this
could have gone worse.
Help old Blue Eyes with his old blue
balls.
Yes, I know.
Oh, hey, Luke.
Blue Eyes was Frank.
The man, Luke!
It just got worse.
It just got worse.
Oh.
You okay?
Yes.
Yeah?
Yeah, thanks.
Sorry.
Just, I'm very grateful that you were
passed.
Well, actually, I was, I
was, um... You were?
No.
Well, I was here
because... Oh, no.
I think, I think we got it.
I had no idea.
I thought I didn't know what that guy was
doing.
Give me the honey!
I know.
I'm trying.
I thought it was the real DMR.
Stop!
Stop it!
You two come with me.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
You two stay here.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I could have handled that myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is this hell?
Is this hell?
Technically, hell doesn't...
No, no, no, I didn't say speak!
You ever work this place out?
Nah.
This gets more and more confusing.
Hey, honey, so, we're talking about
bending the rules, Justice Smith.
It was my idea.
It was my idea.
I took his idea.
And I made it better.
I made you a friend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, good news.
I talked to Frank.
Actually, I talked to Frank.
The point is, somebody talked to Frank.
They then talked to Tom.
And then they talked to a guy.
Way up top.
The big guy.
Kevin.
And you gotta prove for a plan.
Anna, just say the plan.
Okay, sorry.
So, typically,
here... You're Anna?
No.
Okay.
So, typically, when you get here,
you get to pick an eternity, and that's it.
However, in this unique circumstance,
you've gotten approved for a special visa.
Joan will be allowed two visits to an
eternity, one with each of her former husbands.
And then?
And then she'll decide.
Between the two of you.
That seems like kind of a high-pressure
scenario.
Okay, well, you could all choose the same
eternity and then work it out from there.
But then you'd be in the same place
together forever.
Oh, that could work.
No, no, I'm done with this guy creeping in
the shadows.
Creeping in the shadows?
Lurking.
Lurking?
Yeah, you're a lurker, pal.
And you're waiting beyond to spoil a half
a century of marriage.
Well, I'm sorry I died defending our
country.
It was Korea, buddy.
Relax.
What did you say to me?
You didn't exactly storm the beaches of
Normandy, did you?
What the... What are you doing?
He went there.
Stop!
Hit him back!
Stop it!
Okay?
What are we doing?
So...
just...
flip a coin and decide who's going first.
No.
I will not stand for another man dating my
wife.
Maybe you should have thought about that
before you married another man's wife.
Voice!
Who's going first?
I have a coin.
Oh, shit.
Is that a pretzel?
No.
Oh, my God.
Relax.
Heads or tails?
Heads.
The next stop is Mountain World 312.
Oh.
What?
I just...
forgot how handsome you are.
We were an attractive couple.
Oh, come on.
Everybody assumed that you got me pregnant
and had to marry me.
Yeah.
No, my mother, she was...
she was so upset when I told her that I
wasn't because she...
oh, she wanted hot grandkids so badly.
Not that my kids are ugly.
I'm sure that they are hot.
Not that I care.
I didn't assume.
Yeah, because I'm not... not into hot
kids.
No, I'm not into hot kids either.
I'm not into kids.
Good.
That's good.
I remember the sky being bluer.
How?
Was it always that shade?
Oh, yeah, pretty much.
Is that cloud moving?
Yup.
They move.
Is it how you imagined it?
It's perfect.
Oh!
Oh!
Can't die twice.
Can't die twice.
Okay.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, we didn't know where to put any of the
trash.
So we didn't know they had a place where
the bears didn't get to.
It's cold.
Is it always this cold?
Let's get you somewhere nice and warm,
huh?
I don't like how Luke's been going around
telling people he died in the war.
Larry, the man died in the war.
No, I know, but it's the way he says it.
The war.
Like, it's one of the cool ones.
Okay, I think we should stop
squabbling about his obvious heroism
because I don't think that's
our strongest plan of attack.
The problem is, Luke's always been a
memory.
Now I don't know how you compete with a
memory.
All we are are a collection of memories.
That's depressing.
Well, the point is, you're
going to have to remind her
of why she fell in love
with you in the first place.
Honestly, I don't know why she fell in
love with me.
Well, you're gonna have to figure that out
and fast.
There's someone here I gotta find.
Okay, now we're cooking.
Now we're cooking.
My great-granddaughter Charlotte would
love this place.
She's a little adventurer.
I guess I was a mother for that matter.
Sorry.
It's fine.
I'm sure she misses you.
So is that okay?
You know, talking about...
Yeah.
You're not angry with me?
For what?
It's just 67 years.
You know, I remarried after two years and
you waited.
67 years.
Wow.
One eternity is on the line.
One lifetime awaiting seems like nothing.
Jesus, you are so perfect.
I'm not perfect.
Oh, that's what perfect people say.
Fine.
I hate hearing about your kids and your
grandkids and the kids they had, okay?
I mean, I don't hate them.
Okay.
But...
It kills me that I didn't get to have all
that with you.
I'm glad you had it.
Glad you had a happy life.
I would go to the docks waiting for you to
return.
Watching all the soldiers
stream on to shore
because I convinced
myself that they got it wrong.
That you would be among them and...
I would just sit and watch and...
wait.
So I...
I did wait for you, Luke.
Yeah.
Hey.
Come with me.
If I wasn't already dead, I'd die.
I'd be worried you're about to kill me.
You trust me?
Oh, sure.
What?
Hello.
Mr. Fenwick.
Just Fenwick.
Right.
Uh, we haven't been here before.
Individual or shared?
Shared.
Do not touch the exhibits.
Remember, the exhibits aren't real.
We take no responsibility for emotional
trauma.
Happy reliving.
You ready?
For what?
Every eternity has one.
They're called archive tunnels.
Which means?
I don't know.
I've never been to an eternity before.
We can find out together.
Hi, what's your name?
Oh.
There you are.
Yeah.
What's your name?
Luke.
Nice to meet you, Luke.
Don't create.
I haven't seen you around here before.
Well, I just moved to the city.
Just around the corner.
I was so nervous.
Look at me.
Look at you.
So much.
No.
No, no.
Come on.
You're really going for it.
I don't want to see this one.
I love you.
I love you.
Worst day of my life.
I missed you so much.
You should go.
Luke, please.
I don't remember that.
You don't need to see this.
What's he doing at our doc?
Can we just go, please?
Please.
Luke, please.
Will you marry me?
Of course.
He made her death about him.
But it's selfish is what it is.
If you say so.
So who's Karen?
Oh, God.
She's a neighbor.
Longest serving member of the Oakdale
Avenue HOA.
Man, she won't let you forget it.
She would always leave these little sticky
notes on my door.
She's a very passive aggressive woman.
Okay, here we are.
Here we are.
Give me some space.
Sorry.
Larry.
I heard about the pretzels.
Karen, you're still old.
I'm 72 now, thank you very much.
Yeah, no, sorry.
It's just a weird age to be your happiest.
You remember when Jim died?
I was your happiest when your husband
died?
Oh, Jim was a dear.
But anyway, that summer when I went on
that pottery retreat with my friend Barb.
Right.
Well, Barb and I were lovers.
Oh.
I went full lesbian for three months and
it was fabulous.
But then I came back and I had the kids
and the grandkids and the church group.
And I just went back into that miserable
old closet.
Well, that explains why you were so mean
to me.
Oh, no, I just didn't like you.
Right.
I came around eventually.
You grow on people, Larry.
Mm-hmm.
I'm thinking...
Parisland.
It's basically Paris in the 60s,
but they speak English with an accent.
And they have civil rights.
I take it you're waiting on Joan?
No, she's already here.
Oh, shit week for Oakdale.
So where are you guys going?
It's complicated.
Oh, are you gay, too?
Honestly, that would be easier.
Look at you.
You seem so uncomfortable.
Mm-hmm.
Hot.
Think about it.
The worst thing in the world has already
happened to you.
You wish.
Do tell.
So, girl, this is what happened.
Okay, listen, I came
here to ask a question,
and goddamn it, I'm
gonna ask Karen a question.
Then ask the question.
Karen.
Did Joan ever mention...
Um...
Why do you think she fell in love with me?
Uh... Karen, say something.
Anything.
Just say something.
Well, I...
Anything.
I don't know.
She just did.
Oh.
I mean, I never thought she'd be
happy again after Luke died, but... Oh.
You made her happy.
You made your life about making her happy.
Isn't that enough?
Yeah.
Luke is here.
Joan's Luke?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, he was so dreamy.
I used to pretend I fancied him.
Of course I didn't.
Because you're a big secret lesbian?
Exactly.
But wow, he was perfect.
Hey, listen to me.
No one is perfect.
No one is perfect.
Larry, don't be like that.
No one is perfect.
Luke.
Luke, would you calm down?
What?
You know, if you just...
if you think about it, it
was his way of saying
that he knew that you
would always be a part of it.
Come on, Joan.
He wormed his way in.
He manipulated you by using your grief.
He is such a leech.
That is not what happened, okay?
You left.
I didn't leave.
I died.
Would you have said yes if you weren't
still grieving?
I never stopped grieving.
Would you have said yes?
Larry, Larry!
Listen, I am rooting for you, but this is
not the way, okay?
It's not even about him.
This is about you and Joan,
the woman who you have loved
for 65 beautiful years and
have made her very happy.
This is about showing that
same woman that you're willing
to spend all of eternity
together to do the same thing.
Now, is this going to make her happy?
Okay, cool.
What kind of creep leaves her door
unlocked?
Maybe he doesn't have anything to hide.
No, everybody's got something to hide.
That's a little dramatic.
It's actually really hard to keep track of
time here, so I applaud him.
It's very practical.
Larry, come on.
Ha!
Does a perfect person look at this?
You've never looked at porn before,
Larry?
Mm-hmm.
Ha!
What about this?
Look at all these numbers.
Yeah, it's numbers.
That one's got lipstick.
Mm-hmm.
That means they're kissing.
Yeah, it's been 67 years.
What would you do?
Larry, come on.
This is enough.
It's too much.
What am I doing?
Let's go.
Let's just go.
What the?
You goddamn snake.
Well, clearly the date didn't go too well,
did it?
Oh, you took advantage of her.
What are you talking about?
You made your engagement about me.
You used my death to worm your way in.
Then I don't have to listen to this.
I fell off the list from Joan alone.
I genuinely hoped she would find someone.
Yeah, right.
Unless she went mad or off alone.
I'm with you.
I'm not trying.
Is that a hair dye?
Ha!
Stop!
Stop!
Ha!
Get off me!
That's it?
That's all y'all can do?
Psst!
I didn't betray you, Luke.
I didn't even know you.
Yeah.
Then why did you propose it to Doc?
Trauma specialists to Junction 145.
Plane crashing incoming.
Get your formula here.
Sir!
It's the minute of your time.
Please!
Let's get you some of this.
Why won't anybody come to Library World?
What's wrong with these Eternities?
Oh, some are full.
Others are just...
out of fashion.
Quite a few of them weren't very PC,
might have been scanners.
If that makes any sense.
So what happened to the people inside of
them?
They are still in there.
Living out their after lives.
I
don't know what to do.
You spent your entire life worrying about
other people.
Now it's time to decide what's best for
you.
Let me guess.
Luke is best for me?
I want you to choose Luke because it's the
life you missed.
Eternity is a long time to have regrets.
But...
that's your decision to make.
Oh, God.
What if I... I don't
know what to choose?
Well, you need to figure it out.
Sorry.
Just... have fun at
the beach tomorrow.
It is paradise after all.
I didn't think it would be this busy.
Yeah, it's fine.
Very popular.
It's okay.
I wonder if we can get an umbrella.
Yeah, you'd think that they would hand one
to you, huh?
Or a chair.
Look at the view.
You are so beautiful, honey.
Oh.
I mean, you are beautiful.
And...
you've always been beautiful.
You never stopped being beautiful.
I get what you mean, love.
You are right, though.
This would have been a nice vacation.
I mean, it doesn't have to be here.
If you want another eternity, we can...
We can go to space for all I care.
As long as Luke's not floating around.
You look pretty good yourselves.
Four!
That's golf, idiot!
Okay, Larry, it's a child.
He's probably 90.
I actually died when I was nine.
Oh.
Right.
Hit and run.
At least it was quick.
It was not quick.
It was very, very slow.
Oh.
Oh.
Why don't we just get out of here?
Okay.
How was my funeral?
Decent turnout?
Yeah, you would have liked it.
Really?
Well, I mean, you would have pretended to
hate it, but it was nice.
Zach did the eulogy.
Did he try to be funny?
Yeah, he did.
He did try to be funny, but, you know,
it was sweet.
The kids were so devastated.
Who was the most devastated?
I'm not answering that.
Sweetie, I'm sorry I wasn't there with
you.
You know.
Yeah, but you were waiting for me when I
arrived.
The kids will be happy that we're
together.
Larry.
Yeah?
You have to understand that I'm in an
impossible situation.
No.
I don't understand.
I understand you love Luke.
I loved Sally Daniels in the ninth grade.
He wasn't some childhood crush,
Larry.
He was my husband.
Yeah, but we built a life together, and
now you just want to throw it all away.
Well, I never had a chance to start a life
with Luke, and, oh, God, he waited 67...
67 years.
Yeah, I get it.
I would have done the same thing.
I was ready to wait for as long as it
took.
Oh.
I was.
It's getting late.
We should head back, okay, honey?
Larry.
Okay, hold on.
I'm holding on.
You gotta shift your weight.
Okay, okay.
Just don't hurt yourself, please.
I know, but you're gonna tip us.
I've
got these memories of you I can't forget
I'll always be loving you
We were so happy Come on.
I want to see the kids.
I know, but you take a
wrong turn in one of those
things, you could be stuck
in your worst nightmare.
Okay.
Forget about it.
I just... I thought
it could be fun.
I know.
I'm just... I'm trying to protect you.
No, you are protecting yourself.
What are you so afraid you'll see?
It doesn't matter.
It's fine.
You don't know what's
going... Honey, it's okay.
What happened in there?
Wait, Joan.
Look, they look miserable.
Larry, do you remember our first date?
What?
When we pulled over.
Do you remember what you said?
You said that this is the perfect place
for a flat tire.
Wide shoulder, beautiful day, quiet road.
Until I realized I didn't have a spare.
Yeah, well, you never let me know it.
You seemed so broken back then.
Honey, I felt like I needed to be strong
for you.
I just wanted to make everything okay.
Right down to that flat tire.
And you did make everything okay.
We had a wonderful life together.
Come here.
I don't care where we end up.
Just as long as we're together.
Okay, so...
What's going on?
I think it's important you hear what Luke
has to say.
I'm so sorry, Larry.
You should be, because after Larry
broke into my apartment... After he what?
No, the door was open.
Jesus, Larry.
Sorry, what is that?
Look, that I can explain.
It sounds way worse than it is.
Dear Joe... We don't need
to do this right now, honey.
I just wanted you to know the truth about
this.
Let me talk to...
Oh, go grovel.
I know, but it's out of context.
I'm sorry, you said that...
That you were willing to wait as long as
it took...
But you couldn't even last a measly week.
I was.
I was just trying to set up our eternity.
You just assumed that I would come find
you?
Yeah, because you're my wife.
I'm sorry, you weren't really willing to
trick me into an eternity?
No, sweetie, I wasn't trying to trick you,
okay?
I honestly, I swear to God, I thought I
was doing the right thing.
What?
Think how I was killing myself over this.
And you, you...
God, you are so selfish.
I'm being selfish?
Yeah.
You are being selfish
because you're here
trying to decide between
your man buffet of men.
And I guarantee you've already slept with
Mr. Perfect over here.
I'm not perfect.
You know what?
Yeah.
I've thought about it.
I mean, who wouldn't want that kind of
fiery, sparky love?
Hell yeah.
No.
I guess everyone's been right then.
About what, Larry?
That you never loved me the way that you
loved him.
That I was just a consolation prize.
Well, I, uh...
I know he would never lie to me.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Do you know that he dyes his hair?
And do you know that he's got a worryingly
large porn collection?
Oh, Jesus Christ, Larry.
I know about the playboys in the garage.
The coasters.
Yes, and the coasters.
He's got a basket of coasters with ladies'
numbers on them.
Okay, so what is he talking about?
What is he talking about?
He's talking about breaking and entering.
No, see, he's being...
He's very... he's slippery.
Oh, yeah?
He's a snake and he's being purposely
vague.
Yeah, like how he was with The War.
Ignore them, Luke.
You're perfect.
He's unhinged.
You okay, babe?
I'm not perfect, okay?
Yes, I dye my hair.
And yes, I slept with a few women over the
last 60 years.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's understandable.
And one guy.
One guy.
Don't lie.
Two.
Two guys.
Just to see.
Both times.
And I went through that BDSM phase about
30 years ago.
Remember like it was yesterday.
Yeah, me too.
I didn't expect you to be a priest.
And I think I was beginning to bawl when I
died.
I comb it over.
Whatever.
You keep saying I'm perfect.
You keep saying I'm perfect.
Everyone keeps saying I'm perfect.
I am not perfect.
Nobody is perfect.
Finally.
Thank you.
But I did wait.
I waited for you, Joanie.
He should at least lose some points for
all the sex.
God, this is not a competition,
Larry.
Yes, it is!
Sweetheart, it is 100% for sure a
competition.
It is in fact a competition.
That's literally what we're here for.
Look, Joanie.
I'm done with the games.
You need to decide if it's me or if it's
him.
Yeah, you need to make a decision.
Who's it gonna be?
Which one?
It's gotta be one of us.
You gotta pick.
I think we need to give my client some
time to think.
Let's just go for a walk.
Let her breathe a little.
Let's get you boys something to drink.
A drink sounds nice, right?
Yeah.
I heard
you kicked it, too.
Sweetie!
Well,
I guess there's nothing more we can do.
It's up to her.
Can I have one of them?
Just relax.
And get your mind off those boys.
We deserve this.
You know what's funny
about you being here is that
you actually knew me
when I was with both of them.
Oh, for Christ's sake, Jo, a drink.
Oh, sure.
I got a toast.
This one is for Korea.
You're damn right.
Not enough films made about it.
Well, except MASH.
What the hell is MASH?
Ah, man, you gotta watch MASH.
Then I choose... Luke.
Okay.
No, Larry.
Larry, okay.
Ah, shitty shit!
I'm so sorry.
I don't think you're going bald.
What are you talking about?
You can easily pass that off as a double
crown.
You know what?
I appreciate that.
And you're pretty handsome yourself.
You don't have to say it.
You're a catch.
You got that mysterious thing,
like I'm thinking deep stuff.
And women, they're into that.
Really?
Because I'm not.
I mean, honestly, I've
been dead and I haven't
once thought about
the meaning of life.
They're like, this is it.
I'm like, yeah, that makes sense to me.
You're smart.
Don't ever think it.
You know who you are, you know what you
want, and you go and get it.
You start thinking about all the infinite
possibilities and guess what?
You never move.
She doesn't deserve you.
I shouldn't deserve you.
You are smart.
You're handsome.
And you're a war hero.
And you gave her kids.
I did.
And I bet you looked after them well.
Yeah, I did.
So will you.
And at first, it was about Luke and me.
And then there were decisions about Larry
and me.
And then, you know, it was about the kids.
And are you considering this eternity?
Mark.
But this one is about me.
And...
You are dead.
Jesus, Carol.
I'm sorry for now.
You're dead.
You have no obligations to anyone.
Maybe it's best you all have me.
It's just we have others interested.
And I... A little less of this.
A little more of this.
Thank you, honey.
Thank you.
You can go.
It's just...
She's a perfect person.
She's a perfect person.
Come here.
Oh.
Coming.
Do we have a little headache this morning?
I've made my decision.
Okay.
I'll gather your husbands.
I need a shower.
Yeah.
You do.
I'm so nervous.
Are you guys nervous?
You should definitely be nervous.
You two.
That doesn't mean that you should be more
nervous than anybody else.
But I'm just saying there's a lot of
nerves going all around.
Are you nervous?
Yeah, you sound nervous.
I'm nervous.
You guys should both be shitting
yourselves right now.
Shut up.
Sorry.
My client has reached her decision.
Love is a bond greater than death.
Mm-hmm.
But some bonds are...
well, better bonded.
You have your ionic bonds.
You have your covalent bonds.
Your savings bonds.
Veil bonds.
Yeah, okay.
That's good.
That's really... that's great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Larry.
My first morning without you, I...
God, I hoped it was a bad dream.
I... I smelled your toast burning
downstairs.
I...
I heard the rattle of the back door.
And...
You know, I even... I even threw your...
your pillows on the ground the way...
the way you always did.
And...
you know, I was pretending.
It's okay, honey.
And the...
the funny thing is, is
that I... I felt that before.
When, uh, when...
Luke died.
We never had a chance to see...
where our lives... where
our love would take us.
But you gave me...
everything that I needed...
in the time we had.
God, how lucky am I?
So I've had you both.
You know?
And, uh...
Maybe things worked out...
the way they were meant to.
So what are you... what are you saying,
huh?
Uh...
I'm saying, um...
that I choose...
I choose... I choose...
neither of you.
You're kidding, right?
So you're gonna hurt three people instead
of one?
No, there was never
going to... to be one.
Don't you get it?
I was going to be crushed either way.
But we built a life together.
Yeah, maybe the beauty...
in life is that...
is that... things end.
Maybe that's what...
this is all for.
So...
So I choose...
neither of you.
Why do we even bother?
I mean, do we help?
Do we make a difference?
Of course we make a difference.
We annoy them.
They've just died.
They're scared.
It's better to be annoyed...
than to be scared.
Right?
You're sure about this?
Oh yeah, I'm sure.
Well, let's go.
You were right, by the way.
Even my proposal was about you.
You were the ghost I could never compete
with.
Yeah.
You have any idea how
jealous... I am of you?
I got to have a life with her.
Hey, you know you were the
last thing... I saw before I died?
What do you mean?
I'm eating a pretzel... and my
great-granddaughter... Charlotte?
Yeah.
Shows me this...
old picture of you and Joan...
on your wedding day.
And then I started choking.
Yeah!
I gotta admit, you weren't who I was
expecting.
You're exactly what I was expecting.
Yeah.
Minus the porn and hair dye.
About six months before I died...
I was braying at the temples...
and...
you know, I just didn't care.
Because Joan and I...
we just had this conversation about...
starting a family.
Everything was laid
out... in front of us.
That was my happiest.
I'm 35.
Joan was pregnant...
with our second.
And we went out to
dinner... one night.
The doctor was telling us about all
these...
new studies where you're not supposed to
drink when you're pregnant.
And I got my... glass of wine.
Joan took a sip of it.
And she just had this...
little smile on her face.
And... I don't know, but...
in that moment...
this felt like we were a team.
You okay?
Oh my god.
I have to go.
What's going on?
Your AC will explain everything.
What's an AC?
We can go to this... cafe on the Seine...
where a fake Satra and fake Camus...
have a fight.
And they have...
great pain au chocolat.
Was Camus the one who always talked about
death?
Because that just kind of seems pointless
now.
Really?
You know, I read Satra for beginners.
How do you say Satra?
Satra.
Satra.
Satra.
Satra.
And...
what's Larry doing here?
Please, Larry.
I made up my mind, okay?
You know this is best.
Your hair is different.
Okay.
Thank you.
You never had it like that...
when we were together.
No, I cut it after.
It suits you.
Larry.
You should go with Luke.
Okay?
You deserve a shot at that kind of love,
honey.
That...
fiery, sparky kind.
I was so, so happy with you.
I... I thought...
I thought you were happiest with him.
It's okay.
But what about you?
Don't worry about me.
I'll be in the sun.
Knowing you're happy makes me happy.
But it doesn't work unless you're happy.
Oh, Larry.
You better go break the news to Karen.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
It's the right thing.
Wow.
Maybe he shouldn't have flown to our sexy
pool in front of his face.
He has no one.
Hey.
Hi.
How are you holding up, Larry?
I'm all right.
No hard feelings, right, Larry?
For what it's worth, I totally thought you
had it there for a moment.
Thanks.
What's this?
Are you two together now?
Yeah.
We're going to give it another go.
Good.
You really showed us that living without
someone is a hollow mess.
What?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Give us a minute, please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally.
I miss you already.
God.
Morning.
Morning.
I gotta say, I'm really proud of you,
Larry.
You're doing the right thing.
I feel terrible.
Yeah.
That happens.
Sometimes doing the right thing does feel
terrible.
So you never told me why you ended up
staying here.
Um, coming here...
I'll just say that coming here was an
improvement for me.
Here, I get to help lost souls find their
happiness.
And that gives me a sense of purpose.
But after time, you stop caring about
what's best for people.
You know, just pushing them along and...
Making sure their afterlife is ticking
over, you know?
Sell, sell, sell.
But then, you came along.
Yeah.
With that great ordinary love.
And you reminded me of why I chose this
place.
So thank you for that, Larry.
Well, I guess you're welcome.
So...
Have you chosen your eternity?
Yeah.
I think I have.
Okay, come on.
What?
Come on.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
It's very charming.
Car crash.
Oh, old age.
Cancer.
War.
Oh, war.
Which one?
One or two?
Korea.
Which counts?
Oh.
Yeah.
Wait.
It's all done.
Thank you.
So much.
So much.
It's all set up.
Awesome.
I understand.
Hi!
Ah, so you like books?
Yeah.
I'm a librarian so... Can I
help you with something?
Yeah, I can read.
That's good.
You're in the right place.
What's that one?
That's Dickens, Great Expectations.
Any good?
Um, you know, I haven't read it.
That's because I don't really love
Dickens.
It's a big controversy.
Yeah, I hate him.
You got a nice look.
Oh, thank you.
I'm Joan.
I'm Larry.
Nice to meet you, Larry.
Nice to meet you.
That's it.
Slow and steady.
Keep up the good work, Joan.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks, Simon.
Go fuck yourself.
It's good.
Yeah, really good.
What is that?
What is that?
How is it that he already needs to poop
again?
Four months old.
That's my boy.
Aw, honey.
He stinks.
Janet Conner.
They died doing a gender reveal party.
Yeah, there was so much blood.
Everywhere, just oozing.
We didn't see it coming.
We looked in, we're like, what's going on
in here?
Boom!
We were heads right off!
I love it when you do that.
Thank you, Fenwick.
I love it.
Are you sure you don't want to come?
The powder's fresh, Jay Bae.
Oh, I got plenty of powder yesterday.
Powdered out.
You sure?
Uh-huh.
Have fun.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Are you sure?
You know, people die at these things.
I saw it on the internet.
It's a gender reveal party.
They're lethal and stupid.
Oh, just let him make a fuss.
I mean, I get, you know, eliminating the
surprise, but it's not party party.
You know, one of the great toys of my life
has been allowing for surprises.
Remember when you were convinced that Zack
was a girl?
Well, everything has to be a party
nowadays.
You just hate parties.
Everything has to be an event.
No, you mean...
I'll see you tomorrow.
Look, lady, it's not too healthy to be
coming back here all the time.
It's important to move on.
This is perfect.
Huh?
You're okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just a little cold.
Come on.
I booked this on a hot air balloon later
on.
And, uh, there's a new couple in Unit 9.
I think they'd, uh...
Ooh, I think they'd make great doubles
partners.
If I meet any more new people,
I'm going to explode.
And then what would you complain about?
What?
Come on, Joanie, you love to complain.
That's not a thing people love.
You okay?
I made a mistake.
Did you lose your skis again?
No, I, uh...
I made a mistake coming here with you.
Okay.
What'd I do wrong now?
Nothing.
Oh, nothing.
No, you're perfect.
I know you say you're not, but you are.
You're kind and brave and smart.
That's how I know.
I waited all these years for this.
This.
Why can't you just enjoy it?
We're in a literal paradise.
I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner.
I think I just got really caught up in
everything.
Joanie, what the... Maybe it would
have worked between us in life.
You know, maybe not, but I can't pretend
that my world didn't continue without you.
I am not asking you to.
I have never asked it of you.
Unlike you, I don't hide things.
What's that supposed to mean?
I grit my teeth every single day so you
can go to that damn tunnel.
Joanie, we were happiest together.
Yeah.
Of course we were.
It was young love.
It was love without the burden of a
mortgage or a job or kids.
It was, you know, the kind of love you
feel before knowing loss.
It was everything.
But love isn't just one happy moment.
Right?
It's a million.
And it's bickering in the car and
supporting someone when they need it and
it's growing together and looking after
each other.
We can grow together now.
We can look after each other now.
I mean, Luke, honestly, am I living up to
the memory?
You waited so long in that that artificial
place but here, this is real.
And you're living and I'm giving you
permission.
Go live without me.
Oh, you're giving me permission?
Are you?
Are you giving me permission?
Okay, I'm sorry.
That was a little condescending,
but sorry.
Thank you so much, my highness.
I'm a humble servant.
Thank you so much for the permission.
I'm sorry.
This is not fair.
It's not fair.
I know.
But...
I have to go back.
It's out of your mind.
The moment you step out the red door,
they'll find you.
They'll put you into the void.
No, you don't.
You can stay here with me.
Please stay.
Please stay.
Please stay.
I really do love you.
Hands up, Fenwick.
Give me the keys.
You've got it, Joanie.
You've got it, Joanie.
Yeah, stick them up.
Stick them up, Fenny.
Are you ready to die, Fenny?
You want me to cut you?
I'll cut you.
Oh, God.
Such a sweet boy.
So sweet.
I'll seduce him.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know that won't work.
I mean...
It might.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
You're gonna need a distraction.
Luka...
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
I know.
See, you remember how I used to do some
local theater?
Please don't touch the exhibits.
Remember, the exhibits aren't real.
She left me.
Why?
Oh, I know.
I know.
I know it's tough, I know, I know.
But trust me, it'll get better.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah, that's right.
Just let it out, Pika.
Let it out.
Let it out.
Let it all out.
Okay?
It's okay.
It's tough today, but there's always
tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
That's right.
That's right.
Okay.
I just need a good cry.
I get that.
I remember when my old... Anyway,
thanks.
I'm gonna pop in for, uh...
for old time's sake.
Yeah, but you didn't take a ticket.
I need to stop being such a giver.
You should hurry up.
Yeah.
Goodbye, Luke.
Goodbye, Joan.
I can't hear you!
Stop her!
Stop her!
I said stop!
I'm pregnant!
You will be okay, Joanie, I promise.
I'm sorry.
Are you?
No... Let go!
We're sorry for your loss.
No, no, no, no, no, no...
Drop the gun!
Come on!
Jesus,
I don't want to have this conversation
again.
No, I am not!
I am not comparing you to him!
I never compared you to him!
And I don't want to have this conversation
again!
I humiliate you, Joan!
I can't!
I can't!
Come on!
She brought it up!
What am I supposed to say?
She doesn't like me!
No!
No!
No!
She literally said, I don't like you!
You brought it up!
You brought it up!
Train
delayed on platform 186.
Escaping on the tracks.
Excuse me.
I need to know which eternity Larry Cutler
went to.
Ma'am, there have been 425,000 Larry
Cutlers.
Could you be more specific?
And I'm sick...
Red door escaping.
I've been thinking a lot about it,
and you know... I think that maybe...
They should consider being polys.
I'm not much of a multitasker,
babe.
What?
I'm a one woman man.
Oh, really?
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Watch where you're going, lady!
Huh?
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Did you see a woman come running this way?
No.
She went that way.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
Good luck, you guys.
Let's go.
Move.
You're such a romantic.
We could sneak her into one of those old,
disused eternities.
Not one of the racist ones, but you'll be
safe there.
Security never checks that.
Where did he go?
Who?
Where's Larry?
Where is he?
That's a lot out there, huh?
Intense.
Yeah.
I know somewhere you could really unwind.
Come on, Lodge.
You know the rules.
I'm just trying to help a girl out.
I know what I want now.
I could show you my eternity.
It's just around the corner.
You heard the lady.
I preferred the last part.
It's the last time I'm doing this in
opinion.
You look like you could use a drink.
Oh...
Yeah.
You never left?
Nah.
Sand really does get everywhere.
Turns out that...
the cold is just cold.
Is that for you?
Oh, yeah.
I'm kind of a fugitive.
Come on.
Where are you going to go?
I know a place.
It could be dangerous.
Looks like Oakdale.
It's perfect.
Something your kiss just told me.
Where should we go?
Couldn't hear you.
What did you say?
Well, where should we go?
Hawaii is the obvious choice.
Hawaii is the obvious choice.
Just think about it. Stop that.
Will you stop and listen? Please!
There's a reason that people convalesce at
the beach.
People complain about sand getting
everywhere.
- I'll be happy...
- [INAUDIBLE]
The Rockies are cozy.
The cold isn't bitter there. It's warm.
Cold is just cold, Joan.
It's the kind of place you could spend
forever.
It's 84 degrees in Naples today.
Italy?
Florida.
We're not Florida people, Larry.
- Oh, God, Joan, that sounds so snobby.
- We're not Florida people.
You know, you sound like Karen.
Karen is my friend and she is not well.
Well, we don't have to make people into
saints just because they're dying.
Jesus, Larry.
Look, it's got mountains and ice and snow.
So many things for you to complain about.
You will love it.
I don't love to complain.
That's not something people love.
I don't want to fight. It's a big day.
You know people die at these things?
I saw it on the internet.
It's a gender reveal party.
I mean, I get eliminating the surprise.
Can we just let them make a fuss?
But it's not party worthy.
You know, one of the great joys of my life
has been allowing for surprises.
Do you remember when you were convinced
that Zach would be a girl?
- Everything has to be a party nowadays.
- We just don't like parties.
No, no. You just hate having fun.
It's pre-school graduations now.
That's it. You're only happy when you're miserable.
You're five. You don't know anything.
Look, can we just enjoy it?
It's a big party. Big party.
Larry, can we just enjoy it, okay?
- Asshole!
- I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying it.
Joan.
Joan.
We have to tell them.
I know.
Just give me today.
Sam, can you grab the balloons?
We're back.
Hi, you look lovely.
Nice to see you.
I'll be right back.
Hey.
Good to see you.
My dears.
Let's go to some cake.
Sam, the balloons.
I have the balloons in my hand.
Thanks for agreeing to host, Papa.
She's gonna be a boy.
How do you know that?
Because it's so low.
A boy.
So, coming up on 65 years of marriage,
any tips?
You burst one of those balloons and you'll
never find out.
Oh, uh, Nana.
We found a bunch of your old pictures in
the basement.
Oh, thanks, sweetie.
Who is that?
Papa was in the army?
No, sweetie.
That was Nana's stupidly attractive first
husband.
Jesus Christ, he's a dapper man.
Why would you leave him for Papa?
No, sweetie.
Luke was a soldier and, um, he died at
war.
Larry, you got really lucky, my friend.
I bet he would have been a good dad.
That's not how biology works.
Larry?
He's just being funny.
Shut up, Zach.
Larry, are you okay?
Guess you weren't expecting it.
What the hell is going on?
These gentlemen... Ladies and gentlemen,
we have now reached the junction.
Well,
I guess the surgery didn't go so well.
There's something that scared me.
I don't understand that.
Did I just flat-frag it?
Time to take a picture.
Disorientation is normal.
What?
Take a grated section.
What is going on?
Hey, all the fun of the Middle Ages,
none of the leprosy.
Hey, you want to party?
Party all night, party all the time.
Hey, Valley, good to see you.
You must be noose.
Where am I?
Jessica?
He hasn't made contact yet.
Jessica?
What is this?
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Hi, can you help me?
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Are you an A.C.?
Yes, but I'm not your A.C.
Come.
Jessica?
Jeff?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you guys are getting married.
Oh, this is... I
know you're fine.
Hi, do you work here?
No, honey, I'm here for my health.
Listen, I think I've been abducted.
You haven't been abducted.
Well, where's my family?
Where's Joan?
Where am I?
You're in the junction.
Your A.C.
will be with you shortly.
Be with me shortly?
Yeah.
Next arrival in 15 minutes.
Final train from junction 301 departing in
five minutes.
Oh, Jill, this is all noise.
I know you, Jill.
You just want a box of Chardonnay in a
pool.
I do like Chardonnay.
Well, then I have the Eternity for you.
Okay.
Straight ahead.
Oh, fuck.
Ugh.
Little bitch.
Uh, Larry Cutler?
Yeah?
Is there a Larry Cutler here?
That's me.
Larry Cut... That's me.
Oh, hey, man.
I'm so sorry they had me at a whole other
gate.
Who are you?
I'm Anna.
I'm your A.C.
What does that stand for?
Your afterlife coordinator.
That's not a job.
You've passed away, Larry.
No.
You're dead.
No, not... I hit my head and...
It's a girl.
Walk with me.
Oh.
All right, listen, so I was sitting
with my family, and then I, uh... Died.
No, Anna, whatever you're trying to...
That's not sore.
Look, Larry.
What the hell is this happening?
When you get here, your form reverts to
its happiest self.
It can be any age.
Larry, wake up.
That's where lots of 10-year-old boys,
but not a lot of teenagers, though.
Ah, shit.
Joan.
Joan, my wife.
I need to... I need to go back.
Oh, Larry, look on the bright side.
At least your penis works again.
Hey, Anna.
My...
My penis always works.
There's no need to feel shame here.
We've seen it all.
Yeah, well, if I was
dead, I wouldn't really
care about the
functionality in my penis.
I wouldn't be embarrassed and annoyed with
you right now, because you're not supposed
to be annoyed in heaven.
Why, they tell you such strange things,
darling.
Larry, what is a soul?
Uh...
I don't know.
Well, I suppose it's the perfect version
of yourself.
No.
It's just you.
No, that can't be right.
If you're annoyed a lot in life, Larry,
then you might be annoyed a lot in death.
Were you annoyed a lot in life,
Larry?
Larry, listen to me.
My wife really needs me right now.
I'm sorry.
It doesn't work like that.
Wake up, Larry.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Come on, buddy.
Come on.
What the hell is that?
If you were dreaming, you wouldn't feel
that pain.
I... I didn't feel that.
You know, usually you old fellas really
chirp up with the whole penis thing.
Listen to me.
I need to talk to God, okay?
That's what I want.
I want to speak with the big guy.
Okay, so you're one of those.
I don't know why you didn't say that in
the first place.
We've got tons of eternities.
What are you?
New Testament?
Old Testament?
Hindu?
Buddhist?
Pick your poison.
Hold on.
Is God not real?
I don't know, but listen.
After a couple hundred
years of one of these
eternities, you won't
even know the difference.
Who do you work for?
I work for Frank.
Okay, and then who does Frank work for?
Frank works for time.
Why does it even matter?
Come on.
We don't have time.
I want other clients, Larry.
Please.
Okay, well, I'm sorry for assuming that
paradise would look a little less like life.
This isn't paradise.
This is just a brief transition between
life and eternity.
Oh, you've learned that life aren't an
eternity.
I have.
It's just something we say.
Everybody gets an eternity.
The good, the bad, and the ugly.
So all that live a good life stuff was a
bunch of crap?
Afraid so.
Red door escaping.
Do not engage.
Oh, that?
Don't worry about that.
Just don't run through any red doors.
Larry, let's go.
Let's go.
So this is where I'm staying, huh?
For now, until you choose the right
eternity for you.
We'll get into all that later.
I think now's a good time.
I'm dead.
Hey, there you go.
Acceptance.
We have some of your favorite clothes in
the closet in case you want to check it out.
Anna?
Didn't 1840s Ireland have a
devastating famine caused by a
potato blight and the British
exporting all their other food?
Well, not here.
Ever wanted to be the captain of your own?
Do you hate clothes?
But you need them to keep warm.
While here in natural state 454,
it's always a balmy 72 degrees.
He's cardiacing really hard.
Suction, goddammit.
We lost him.
But you found me.
If you suffered a violent, uh,
phase three type of tumor after... Sir?
You know, I did, uh, experiment in
college.
Yeah, that's definitely a perfect moment.
Hi there.
Hi.
Confusing time, huh?
Yes, actually.
Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm... I'm married.
What if I, uh, told you I could secure you
a spot in the hottest eternity?
Marge, you know the policy.
No selling in the bar.
No selling in the bar.
Something strong, please.
First day?
So what are you, like an angel or
something?
I don't know.
I'm a bartender.
Oh, shit.
Do I have to get a job?
Only if you want to stay here.
So what are you thinking about,
for where you want to go from here?
I don't know, somewhere sunny with a
beach, I guess.
But my wife won't like that, so I can't
stay for long.
Did your A.C.
go over the rules?
No, but she seemed busy.
All right, well, look,
the big thing is there's
no switching eternities
after you've chosen.
No visiting other eternities.
No nothing.
Eternity is eternity.
It's forever.
What if I didn't go along with the rules?
What are they going to do, kill me again?
Technically, they can't kill you again.
But you break a rule, you overstay your
welcome, or you try switching eternities.
..
they'll put you into the void.
Is that like hell?
As close as there is.
It's just blackness.
For eternity.
My wife has cancer.
It's terminal.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Worst part about death is the guilt you
feel for the ones you left behind.
I know, and I told her that I was always
going to take care of her.
And now she's sick, and I deal with all
this.
Can I get a mixture with that?
That is absolutely disgusting.
Morning, sleepyhead.
I see.
What the hell?
What's going on?
How did you get in here?
Larry, you don't remember.
Remember what?
No, we didn't.
Did we?
No, I'm just joking.
I have the key.
Why do you have a key?
It's not important.
So, you seemed to have a good time last
night.
I'm dead.
You wouldn't think hangovers would be a
thing.
I know, right?
It's a common misconception.
I had a question.
Mm-hmm.
Hit me with it.
So, everyone working here, they don't want
to go to their eternity.
Really?
Why?
Some people haven't accepted death.
And some people are waiting for their
loved ones.
And others haven't decided yet.
And those are the worst ones.
Why did you say?
That is a story for another time.
So, tell me, where are you going?
Did you decide?
No, I need to see where Joan is.
How can I tell how close she is?
No, I'm sorry.
It doesn't work like that.
I can't do that.
So, all that looking down from above
stuff, that's just a bunch of BS?
Mm.
You're annoyed?
No, I'm not annoyed.
You look annoyed.
What about everybody who died before me?
Where's my parents?
How do I see them?
Oh, you could definitely go see your
parents.
But then, you know, you'd be
just... Be with my parents for eternity.
Eternity.
That's why we usually recommend for you to
do you.
And just know that everyone is existing
pretty damn good.
You know what I mean?
You know, Joan always
thought of death as
one more surprise
waiting around the corner.
And she loves surprises.
But she was a librarian though,
right?
Yeah, they can like surprises too.
Oh.
So, if I wanted to wait, what do I have to
do?
Get a job?
Be a bartender?
No, you wish.
It's cleaning work.
Do you know how to do laundry?
Yeah.
At least the room is nice.
Yeah.
But it's for clients.
So, if you don't decide, then you have to
go...
Well, I was told there is no hell.
The basement?
Uh-huh.
The rooms are more functional in the
basement?
Mm-hmm.
Jesus, you went straight to hell.
Hey, sir.
You look like you hate people.
Try Herman's World.
Hi.
It's me.
Do you want a little sniffle?
And you?
No, sir.
It could be tomorrow.
Or she could hang on for another,
what, six or seven months?
I mean, I guess I could set everything up
for her, and I could, you know,
make sure it's how she likes it,
really make it feel like home.
Larry, that is so romantic.
Yeah, I guess it is a little romantic.
It's so romantic.
I can be romantic.
I...
Because I know how she likes things.
You do.
I really think you picked a good one.
You are not gonna like it.
You're not going to regret this,
lady.
Hey, uh, would you do me a favor?
Yeah, sure can do.
Could you give Joan this letter for me?
No can do.
That's against the rules.
Plus, why do you need a letter when you're
there with me?
Beech Lounge 239.
Now boarding at gate 12.
It was a pleasure working with you.
Sorry.
Oh, oh.
Shoot.
Okay.
Disorientation is normal.
Oh, excuse me.
Excuse me.
So, where am I?
Your A.C.
will explain everything.
Okay.
Okay.
You know, it's just...
Honey, your A.C.
will explain everything.
Joan!
Joan!
Joan!
Hey!
Sweetie.
Ah, sweetie.
I missed you so much.
Wow, look at you.
Wow.
I love this.
I was in bed and then I...
And then I just came from the...
Baby, you look amazing.
Oh, every time.
Ow.
God, every damn time, Larry.
What?
I told you to slow down on the pretzels.
But you, no, no, you never listen.
I know, I know.
You never... Oh,
you stop smiling.
Jo?
Yeah.
Listen to me, honey.
I have shocking news.
You're dead.
I'm dead?
Yeah.
How'd you know?
I mean...
It took him forever to figure that out.
Not forever.
Forever.
No.
So, you are the famous Joan.
Okay, Larry.
Way to marry up.
Yeah.
So, uh, what, what now?
Yeah.
Yeah, so now...
Was it cancer that took you away from the
world?
So, who are you?
Okay, honey, so listen.
Now we finally get to have that holiday.
And basically, we can go anywhere we want,
but then that's it.
It's like a one and done thing here.
They're very strict on that.
Um, and if you want to go
to the mountains, we can,
because the snow and the
cold's not gonna kill you now.
Because you're dead.
Back away from my client.
Back away from my client.
Back away.
Shut up.
I've been waiting for this golden goose
for 67 goddamn years.
Larry.
Yeah, excuse me.
Excuse me.
I'm so sorry about her.
Who is that?
I'm Brian.
I'm your afterlife coordinator.
I know this can be very, very
overwhelming.
It's a lot to absorb, so I highly recommend
just taking a deep breath in and out.
Just breathe out.
Oh.
Hey, what's going on, guy?
This was my, uh, bartender.
I, um, I guess I forgot to pay the tab.
I didn't realize there'd be a tab.
Nobody gave me any money.
No.
Way.
Sorry, I forgot to ask your name.
What's your name again?
Brian.
I'm Luke.
This is Luke.
He's my bartender.
I never dreamt you this clearly.
You're exactly how I dreamt you.
Who?
Hard luck, Mary.
No.
Luke had a mustache.
Yeah, but Joanie
hated it, so I shaved it off
every morning, hoping
she's gonna show up.
Oh, my God!
Okay, sweetie.
Okay.
Oh.
What are you doing?
Larry.
Okay, sweetie.
Hi.
Let's go.
Who's this guy?
The second husband.
I prefer current husband.
The current husband.
Oh.
Joanie, you all right?
Oh, my God.
Honey, it was a lot for me, too.
Joanie?
Okay, I have to insist that I explain
exactly what's going on to my client.
She clearly has
a very... Oh, boy.
...difficult decision to make.
Okay.
I'll hold that.
Come on.
Oh, my God.
He's really here.
I'm very attracted.
Is he talking?
So when you said you were waiting...
I conjured her image every day in my mind.
I thought I did a good job, but she's more
stunning than I remember.
Okay.
That's a lie, Luke.
You were my bartender.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
How do you look so young?
This will have to do.
Was he always that young?
It's a lot to take in.
The love of your life waiting 67 years.
And Larry...
Larry is my husband.
One of two.
Yeah.
Oh, that's pretty.
You'll feel much better after you change
out of that morbid ensemble.
Yeah, that's pretty.
What's your ETA, doll?
How's it looking?
So what am I supposed to do?
I need you to tell me what to do.
Oh, my dear.
Okay.
I read your file.
And you are smart, passionate,
and decisive.
Oh, I am.
I have complete faith that
you will choose the right
eternity and the right
person to spend it with.
You'll do.
Do for what?
Were you expecting someone?
Were you?
God, Luke.
What a surprise.
What the hell?
Please.
It's Ryan.
And it's been Ryan for the last half hour.
You look amazing.
I'm married.
To him.
To Larry.
And Larry seems nice.
Look, Joan.
You must have thought or hoped that this
might happen.
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, you know.
I have imagined it.
Great.
I'll leave you kids to it.
Hi.
Did you even read my file?
You're more than words on a page to me,
buddy.
And you didn't even bring it up.
Yeah, well, I had a lot on my mind.
I just died.
So I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that
my wife's ex might be hanging around.
Technically, I don't think we can call him
her ex.
First husband may be, but not her.
No, I'm not calling him.
I'm never calling him that.
Okay.
I'm just trying to anticipate what Ryan's
going to say.
We have history.
Great.
What kind of history?
It was sexual.
Of course it was.
You're not even one of this case.
So many people.
What?
A man that's waited half a century for his
love.
That's kind of sad if you think about it.
You really think that's the way that Jones
wants to think about it?
I don't know.
It's okay.
I'm sure they've had one of these before.
I mean, I don't know about it.
I've never had it.
But I bet you there's a process.
He looks like Montgomery Cliff.
Whoo!
Oh, my gosh.
I was saying this just the other day.
Montgomery Cliff.
He is so handsome.
Luke is so handsome.
You're not helping.
I'm sorry, but it is what it is.
Luke is hot.
His eyes are bluer than the ocean.
He has a better narrative.
No, he doesn't.
I have a better narrative.
I was married to her for 65 years,
and I gave her children.
Exactly.
We go with that.
That's strong.
There's nothing more powerful than
emotional blackmail.
Right?
Good on ya.
So, how have you been?
Good.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I've been obviously dead,
but, you know, good.
Well, you look good.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, you always, you always
looked, you always looked good.
Oh, yeah.
Coming from you, huh?
Oh.
Yeah.
I, uh...
I, I don't know what to say.
It's...
Boy, I had a long time to think about what
I was gonna say.
Yeah, I had a long, long time.
And?
I'm drawing a blank.
Oh.
Boy, you're cold as ever.
Oh, God.
Cold as ever is what I'm gonna go through.
Oh, what the hell?
Hey.
Gary.
Hey, Luke.
You working tonight?
No, not tonight.
Tonight, night off.
Wait.
Is this?
No.
Joe?
Huh?
No!
No!
No, please!
Move it!
I can't look.
I got another goddamn painting.
Let her go.
I hate you.
Oh, I'm like your lady.
Got it!
Hey!
I'm sick of this crap!
Get in here now!
Museum world's the worst!
What?
What did he do?
Oh, he tried to escape his eternity.
Once you're chosen, you can't go back.
You have to get it right.
Well, that's a lot of pressure.
Yeah, it is.
Look, I remembered what I wanted to say to
you first.
What?
I love you.
Oh.
That's a...
That's a good opener.
Yeah.
Look, I know this is hard for you.
But I missed you.
I thought about you every single day.
There wasn't a day that went by that I
didn't think of you.
Yeah.
You know, I...
I wanted you to be happy.
I wanted you to have a life.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
But I waited.
You know, I waited because I wanted us to
have a chance to have one, too.
I'm gonna be sick.
You okay?
Oh, God, why can't you get sick here?
You all right?
Luke, Luke, please.
I need to think.
Okay.
Hey, sweetie.
So, I know this is a lot, but don't worry,
I've been doing the research.
And here are some pretty good options.
My options?
Yeah, for our eternity.
Wow.
You really look amazing.
The long hair suits you.
Oh, everything works here.
Oh, Larry.
What do you mean, Larry?
Well, it's complicated.
We were together a week ago.
Yeah, well, a lot has happened in a week.
You died, Karen died, I died.
I'd just been reunited with both of my
dead husbands.
And I learned that I have only a week to
pick where to spend eternity.
Karen finally kicked it.
It's a big week for Oakdale.
Hey.
I know what'll make you feel better.
Oh, what?
Squatting.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Just try it.
Fine.
I'm telling you.
Yeah.
I know, right?
I got so low there.
You did get so low there.
Feels so good.
Been doing a bunch of stuff.
Been good.
Nice.
Work it out.
I miss these hips.
Look at this.
You were right.
That did make me feel better.
I knew.
Are you kidding me?
It's too much salt.
I need time.
Okay?
I...
I just need to clear my head.
Okay.
You're right.
I'm being insensitive.
And we can talk about it in the morning.
Okay.
Thank you.
These are so stupid.
Are you kidding me?
What are you doing?
I'm going to bed.
I'm tired, too.
Long day for me.
Sorry, buddy, but your seven days are up.
Holy crap.
Holy crap, for God's sake, bloody hell.
Are you sure you're not religious?
Hey, hey, hey, is he here?
Oh, yeah, he is, but it's sad,
actually.
No, he's my Joe's favorite.
Him?
Yeah, she loves him.
Really?
He's the best.
Oh, okay.
And do you know him?
Yeah, of course I know him.
Would he do you a favor?
Who you talking to?
It's me, obviously, duh.
Oh, you're sure?
Him, yes.
Okay.
Wow, look at this.
Single bed.
That's nice, right?
We got ourselves here a kitchenette.
Handy.
Let's see what's in that fridge.
Oh, my gosh.
You are in luck.
You know what?
It's fine.
You sort this out for me.
I'll be out of here in no time.
Oh, I love it.
You are focused.
It's hummus.
No, it's not.
Ever think 1930s Germany?
Would have been great.
If it wasn't for all the Nazis.
We'll think no more.
Oh, Larry.
I know, I know, but I got a surprise for
you.
I actually need less surprises.
Like, just, you know, zero surprises.
Joan, I promise you're gonna like this.
You trust me, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
She trusts me.
You look incredible.
Thanks, honey.
Yeah.
Are you excited?
Sure.
Got any ideas what it could be?
Nope.
Here we go.
Oh, that's sweet.
Look at you.
That's for you.
Need a little bubbles.
Oh, that's, um, yeah, that's sweet.
What?
Oh, no, that's not it.
Oh, gosh.
Lights!
What is that?
Wait, Larry.
Everybody loves somebody...
What did I tell you?
What did I tell you?
That's our guy.
Everybody falls in
love somehow... I know.
Did I do good or what?
Oh, you really did.
You did.
He sounds amazing.
Oh, he looks great.
Gosh, he really does.
Oh, okay.
Guess he still likes to drink.
He's just, you know, a little rusty here.
Still for Jill.
Joan.
Treat me to dinner.
Are you sure that's Dean Martin?
I don't... He's here.
Oh, shit.
Who the hell is this?
That's not Dean Martin.
Maybe.
Of course not.
It's Richard Johnson.
Oh, no.
Celebrity impersonators die too,
Larry.
Why wouldn't you tell me?
I thought you knew.
I thought it was really weird.
You kept saying, this is Joanie's
favorite.
I was like, Richard?
Richard is Joanie's favorite?
You knew that's not what I meant.
Well, now that I say that out loud,
I understand that it does not make sense.
Please, I'm so lonely, baby.
Also, he has a crippling
alcohol problem, and I
forgot to mention that
to you, and that's my bad.
That is your bad?
I can't fathom a scenario in which this
could have gone worse.
Help old Blue Eyes with his old blue
balls.
Yes, I know.
Oh, hey, Luke.
Blue Eyes was Frank.
The man, Luke!
It just got worse.
It just got worse.
Oh.
You okay?
Yes.
Yeah?
Yeah, thanks.
Sorry.
Just, I'm very grateful that you were
passed.
Well, actually, I was, I
was, um... You were?
No.
Well, I was here
because... Oh, no.
I think, I think we got it.
I had no idea.
I thought I didn't know what that guy was
doing.
Give me the honey!
I know.
I'm trying.
I thought it was the real DMR.
Stop!
Stop it!
You two come with me.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
You two stay here.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Yeah, I could have handled that myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is this hell?
Is this hell?
Technically, hell doesn't...
No, no, no, I didn't say speak!
You ever work this place out?
Nah.
This gets more and more confusing.
Hey, honey, so, we're talking about
bending the rules, Justice Smith.
It was my idea.
It was my idea.
I took his idea.
And I made it better.
I made you a friend.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, good news.
I talked to Frank.
Actually, I talked to Frank.
The point is, somebody talked to Frank.
They then talked to Tom.
And then they talked to a guy.
Way up top.
The big guy.
Kevin.
And you gotta prove for a plan.
Anna, just say the plan.
Okay, sorry.
So, typically,
here... You're Anna?
No.
Okay.
So, typically, when you get here,
you get to pick an eternity, and that's it.
However, in this unique circumstance,
you've gotten approved for a special visa.
Joan will be allowed two visits to an
eternity, one with each of her former husbands.
And then?
And then she'll decide.
Between the two of you.
That seems like kind of a high-pressure
scenario.
Okay, well, you could all choose the same
eternity and then work it out from there.
But then you'd be in the same place
together forever.
Oh, that could work.
No, no, I'm done with this guy creeping in
the shadows.
Creeping in the shadows?
Lurking.
Lurking?
Yeah, you're a lurker, pal.
And you're waiting beyond to spoil a half
a century of marriage.
Well, I'm sorry I died defending our
country.
It was Korea, buddy.
Relax.
What did you say to me?
You didn't exactly storm the beaches of
Normandy, did you?
What the... What are you doing?
He went there.
Stop!
Hit him back!
Stop it!
Okay?
What are we doing?
So...
just...
flip a coin and decide who's going first.
No.
I will not stand for another man dating my
wife.
Maybe you should have thought about that
before you married another man's wife.
Voice!
Who's going first?
I have a coin.
Oh, shit.
Is that a pretzel?
No.
Oh, my God.
Relax.
Heads or tails?
Heads.
The next stop is Mountain World 312.
Oh.
What?
I just...
forgot how handsome you are.
We were an attractive couple.
Oh, come on.
Everybody assumed that you got me pregnant
and had to marry me.
Yeah.
No, my mother, she was...
she was so upset when I told her that I
wasn't because she...
oh, she wanted hot grandkids so badly.
Not that my kids are ugly.
I'm sure that they are hot.
Not that I care.
I didn't assume.
Yeah, because I'm not... not into hot
kids.
No, I'm not into hot kids either.
I'm not into kids.
Good.
That's good.
I remember the sky being bluer.
How?
Was it always that shade?
Oh, yeah, pretty much.
Is that cloud moving?
Yup.
They move.
Is it how you imagined it?
It's perfect.
Oh!
Oh!
Can't die twice.
Can't die twice.
Okay.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, we didn't know where to put any of the
trash.
So we didn't know they had a place where
the bears didn't get to.
It's cold.
Is it always this cold?
Let's get you somewhere nice and warm,
huh?
I don't like how Luke's been going around
telling people he died in the war.
Larry, the man died in the war.
No, I know, but it's the way he says it.
The war.
Like, it's one of the cool ones.
Okay, I think we should stop
squabbling about his obvious heroism
because I don't think that's
our strongest plan of attack.
The problem is, Luke's always been a
memory.
Now I don't know how you compete with a
memory.
All we are are a collection of memories.
That's depressing.
Well, the point is, you're
going to have to remind her
of why she fell in love
with you in the first place.
Honestly, I don't know why she fell in
love with me.
Well, you're gonna have to figure that out
and fast.
There's someone here I gotta find.
Okay, now we're cooking.
Now we're cooking.
My great-granddaughter Charlotte would
love this place.
She's a little adventurer.
I guess I was a mother for that matter.
Sorry.
It's fine.
I'm sure she misses you.
So is that okay?
You know, talking about...
Yeah.
You're not angry with me?
For what?
It's just 67 years.
You know, I remarried after two years and
you waited.
67 years.
Wow.
One eternity is on the line.
One lifetime awaiting seems like nothing.
Jesus, you are so perfect.
I'm not perfect.
Oh, that's what perfect people say.
Fine.
I hate hearing about your kids and your
grandkids and the kids they had, okay?
I mean, I don't hate them.
Okay.
But...
It kills me that I didn't get to have all
that with you.
I'm glad you had it.
Glad you had a happy life.
I would go to the docks waiting for you to
return.
Watching all the soldiers
stream on to shore
because I convinced
myself that they got it wrong.
That you would be among them and...
I would just sit and watch and...
wait.
So I...
I did wait for you, Luke.
Yeah.
Hey.
Come with me.
If I wasn't already dead, I'd die.
I'd be worried you're about to kill me.
You trust me?
Oh, sure.
What?
Hello.
Mr. Fenwick.
Just Fenwick.
Right.
Uh, we haven't been here before.
Individual or shared?
Shared.
Do not touch the exhibits.
Remember, the exhibits aren't real.
We take no responsibility for emotional
trauma.
Happy reliving.
You ready?
For what?
Every eternity has one.
They're called archive tunnels.
Which means?
I don't know.
I've never been to an eternity before.
We can find out together.
Hi, what's your name?
Oh.
There you are.
Yeah.
What's your name?
Luke.
Nice to meet you, Luke.
Don't create.
I haven't seen you around here before.
Well, I just moved to the city.
Just around the corner.
I was so nervous.
Look at me.
Look at you.
So much.
No.
No, no.
Come on.
You're really going for it.
I don't want to see this one.
I love you.
I love you.
Worst day of my life.
I missed you so much.
You should go.
Luke, please.
I don't remember that.
You don't need to see this.
What's he doing at our doc?
Can we just go, please?
Please.
Luke, please.
Will you marry me?
Of course.
He made her death about him.
But it's selfish is what it is.
If you say so.
So who's Karen?
Oh, God.
She's a neighbor.
Longest serving member of the Oakdale
Avenue HOA.
Man, she won't let you forget it.
She would always leave these little sticky
notes on my door.
She's a very passive aggressive woman.
Okay, here we are.
Here we are.
Give me some space.
Sorry.
Larry.
I heard about the pretzels.
Karen, you're still old.
I'm 72 now, thank you very much.
Yeah, no, sorry.
It's just a weird age to be your happiest.
You remember when Jim died?
I was your happiest when your husband
died?
Oh, Jim was a dear.
But anyway, that summer when I went on
that pottery retreat with my friend Barb.
Right.
Well, Barb and I were lovers.
Oh.
I went full lesbian for three months and
it was fabulous.
But then I came back and I had the kids
and the grandkids and the church group.
And I just went back into that miserable
old closet.
Well, that explains why you were so mean
to me.
Oh, no, I just didn't like you.
Right.
I came around eventually.
You grow on people, Larry.
Mm-hmm.
I'm thinking...
Parisland.
It's basically Paris in the 60s,
but they speak English with an accent.
And they have civil rights.
I take it you're waiting on Joan?
No, she's already here.
Oh, shit week for Oakdale.
So where are you guys going?
It's complicated.
Oh, are you gay, too?
Honestly, that would be easier.
Look at you.
You seem so uncomfortable.
Mm-hmm.
Hot.
Think about it.
The worst thing in the world has already
happened to you.
You wish.
Do tell.
So, girl, this is what happened.
Okay, listen, I came
here to ask a question,
and goddamn it, I'm
gonna ask Karen a question.
Then ask the question.
Karen.
Did Joan ever mention...
Um...
Why do you think she fell in love with me?
Uh... Karen, say something.
Anything.
Just say something.
Well, I...
Anything.
I don't know.
She just did.
Oh.
I mean, I never thought she'd be
happy again after Luke died, but... Oh.
You made her happy.
You made your life about making her happy.
Isn't that enough?
Yeah.
Luke is here.
Joan's Luke?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, he was so dreamy.
I used to pretend I fancied him.
Of course I didn't.
Because you're a big secret lesbian?
Exactly.
But wow, he was perfect.
Hey, listen to me.
No one is perfect.
No one is perfect.
Larry, don't be like that.
No one is perfect.
Luke.
Luke, would you calm down?
What?
You know, if you just...
if you think about it, it
was his way of saying
that he knew that you
would always be a part of it.
Come on, Joan.
He wormed his way in.
He manipulated you by using your grief.
He is such a leech.
That is not what happened, okay?
You left.
I didn't leave.
I died.
Would you have said yes if you weren't
still grieving?
I never stopped grieving.
Would you have said yes?
Larry, Larry!
Listen, I am rooting for you, but this is
not the way, okay?
It's not even about him.
This is about you and Joan,
the woman who you have loved
for 65 beautiful years and
have made her very happy.
This is about showing that
same woman that you're willing
to spend all of eternity
together to do the same thing.
Now, is this going to make her happy?
Okay, cool.
What kind of creep leaves her door
unlocked?
Maybe he doesn't have anything to hide.
No, everybody's got something to hide.
That's a little dramatic.
It's actually really hard to keep track of
time here, so I applaud him.
It's very practical.
Larry, come on.
Ha!
Does a perfect person look at this?
You've never looked at porn before,
Larry?
Mm-hmm.
Ha!
What about this?
Look at all these numbers.
Yeah, it's numbers.
That one's got lipstick.
Mm-hmm.
That means they're kissing.
Yeah, it's been 67 years.
What would you do?
Larry, come on.
This is enough.
It's too much.
What am I doing?
Let's go.
Let's just go.
What the?
You goddamn snake.
Well, clearly the date didn't go too well,
did it?
Oh, you took advantage of her.
What are you talking about?
You made your engagement about me.
You used my death to worm your way in.
Then I don't have to listen to this.
I fell off the list from Joan alone.
I genuinely hoped she would find someone.
Yeah, right.
Unless she went mad or off alone.
I'm with you.
I'm not trying.
Is that a hair dye?
Ha!
Stop!
Stop!
Ha!
Get off me!
That's it?
That's all y'all can do?
Psst!
I didn't betray you, Luke.
I didn't even know you.
Yeah.
Then why did you propose it to Doc?
Trauma specialists to Junction 145.
Plane crashing incoming.
Get your formula here.
Sir!
It's the minute of your time.
Please!
Let's get you some of this.
Why won't anybody come to Library World?
What's wrong with these Eternities?
Oh, some are full.
Others are just...
out of fashion.
Quite a few of them weren't very PC,
might have been scanners.
If that makes any sense.
So what happened to the people inside of
them?
They are still in there.
Living out their after lives.
I
don't know what to do.
You spent your entire life worrying about
other people.
Now it's time to decide what's best for
you.
Let me guess.
Luke is best for me?
I want you to choose Luke because it's the
life you missed.
Eternity is a long time to have regrets.
But...
that's your decision to make.
Oh, God.
What if I... I don't
know what to choose?
Well, you need to figure it out.
Sorry.
Just... have fun at
the beach tomorrow.
It is paradise after all.
I didn't think it would be this busy.
Yeah, it's fine.
Very popular.
It's okay.
I wonder if we can get an umbrella.
Yeah, you'd think that they would hand one
to you, huh?
Or a chair.
Look at the view.
You are so beautiful, honey.
Oh.
I mean, you are beautiful.
And...
you've always been beautiful.
You never stopped being beautiful.
I get what you mean, love.
You are right, though.
This would have been a nice vacation.
I mean, it doesn't have to be here.
If you want another eternity, we can...
We can go to space for all I care.
As long as Luke's not floating around.
You look pretty good yourselves.
Four!
That's golf, idiot!
Okay, Larry, it's a child.
He's probably 90.
I actually died when I was nine.
Oh.
Right.
Hit and run.
At least it was quick.
It was not quick.
It was very, very slow.
Oh.
Oh.
Why don't we just get out of here?
Okay.
How was my funeral?
Decent turnout?
Yeah, you would have liked it.
Really?
Well, I mean, you would have pretended to
hate it, but it was nice.
Zach did the eulogy.
Did he try to be funny?
Yeah, he did.
He did try to be funny, but, you know,
it was sweet.
The kids were so devastated.
Who was the most devastated?
I'm not answering that.
Sweetie, I'm sorry I wasn't there with
you.
You know.
Yeah, but you were waiting for me when I
arrived.
The kids will be happy that we're
together.
Larry.
Yeah?
You have to understand that I'm in an
impossible situation.
No.
I don't understand.
I understand you love Luke.
I loved Sally Daniels in the ninth grade.
He wasn't some childhood crush,
Larry.
He was my husband.
Yeah, but we built a life together, and
now you just want to throw it all away.
Well, I never had a chance to start a life
with Luke, and, oh, God, he waited 67...
67 years.
Yeah, I get it.
I would have done the same thing.
I was ready to wait for as long as it
took.
Oh.
I was.
It's getting late.
We should head back, okay, honey?
Larry.
Okay, hold on.
I'm holding on.
You gotta shift your weight.
Okay, okay.
Just don't hurt yourself, please.
I know, but you're gonna tip us.
I've
got these memories of you I can't forget
I'll always be loving you
We were so happy Come on.
I want to see the kids.
I know, but you take a
wrong turn in one of those
things, you could be stuck
in your worst nightmare.
Okay.
Forget about it.
I just... I thought
it could be fun.
I know.
I'm just... I'm trying to protect you.
No, you are protecting yourself.
What are you so afraid you'll see?
It doesn't matter.
It's fine.
You don't know what's
going... Honey, it's okay.
What happened in there?
Wait, Joan.
Look, they look miserable.
Larry, do you remember our first date?
What?
When we pulled over.
Do you remember what you said?
You said that this is the perfect place
for a flat tire.
Wide shoulder, beautiful day, quiet road.
Until I realized I didn't have a spare.
Yeah, well, you never let me know it.
You seemed so broken back then.
Honey, I felt like I needed to be strong
for you.
I just wanted to make everything okay.
Right down to that flat tire.
And you did make everything okay.
We had a wonderful life together.
Come here.
I don't care where we end up.
Just as long as we're together.
Okay, so...
What's going on?
I think it's important you hear what Luke
has to say.
I'm so sorry, Larry.
You should be, because after Larry
broke into my apartment... After he what?
No, the door was open.
Jesus, Larry.
Sorry, what is that?
Look, that I can explain.
It sounds way worse than it is.
Dear Joe... We don't need
to do this right now, honey.
I just wanted you to know the truth about
this.
Let me talk to...
Oh, go grovel.
I know, but it's out of context.
I'm sorry, you said that...
That you were willing to wait as long as
it took...
But you couldn't even last a measly week.
I was.
I was just trying to set up our eternity.
You just assumed that I would come find
you?
Yeah, because you're my wife.
I'm sorry, you weren't really willing to
trick me into an eternity?
No, sweetie, I wasn't trying to trick you,
okay?
I honestly, I swear to God, I thought I
was doing the right thing.
What?
Think how I was killing myself over this.
And you, you...
God, you are so selfish.
I'm being selfish?
Yeah.
You are being selfish
because you're here
trying to decide between
your man buffet of men.
And I guarantee you've already slept with
Mr. Perfect over here.
I'm not perfect.
You know what?
Yeah.
I've thought about it.
I mean, who wouldn't want that kind of
fiery, sparky love?
Hell yeah.
No.
I guess everyone's been right then.
About what, Larry?
That you never loved me the way that you
loved him.
That I was just a consolation prize.
Well, I, uh...
I know he would never lie to me.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Do you know that he dyes his hair?
And do you know that he's got a worryingly
large porn collection?
Oh, Jesus Christ, Larry.
I know about the playboys in the garage.
The coasters.
Yes, and the coasters.
He's got a basket of coasters with ladies'
numbers on them.
Okay, so what is he talking about?
What is he talking about?
He's talking about breaking and entering.
No, see, he's being...
He's very... he's slippery.
Oh, yeah?
He's a snake and he's being purposely
vague.
Yeah, like how he was with The War.
Ignore them, Luke.
You're perfect.
He's unhinged.
You okay, babe?
I'm not perfect, okay?
Yes, I dye my hair.
And yes, I slept with a few women over the
last 60 years.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's understandable.
And one guy.
One guy.
Don't lie.
Two.
Two guys.
Just to see.
Both times.
And I went through that BDSM phase about
30 years ago.
Remember like it was yesterday.
Yeah, me too.
I didn't expect you to be a priest.
And I think I was beginning to bawl when I
died.
I comb it over.
Whatever.
You keep saying I'm perfect.
You keep saying I'm perfect.
Everyone keeps saying I'm perfect.
I am not perfect.
Nobody is perfect.
Finally.
Thank you.
But I did wait.
I waited for you, Joanie.
He should at least lose some points for
all the sex.
God, this is not a competition,
Larry.
Yes, it is!
Sweetheart, it is 100% for sure a
competition.
It is in fact a competition.
That's literally what we're here for.
Look, Joanie.
I'm done with the games.
You need to decide if it's me or if it's
him.
Yeah, you need to make a decision.
Who's it gonna be?
Which one?
It's gotta be one of us.
You gotta pick.
I think we need to give my client some
time to think.
Let's just go for a walk.
Let her breathe a little.
Let's get you boys something to drink.
A drink sounds nice, right?
Yeah.
I heard
you kicked it, too.
Sweetie!
Well,
I guess there's nothing more we can do.
It's up to her.
Can I have one of them?
Just relax.
And get your mind off those boys.
We deserve this.
You know what's funny
about you being here is that
you actually knew me
when I was with both of them.
Oh, for Christ's sake, Jo, a drink.
Oh, sure.
I got a toast.
This one is for Korea.
You're damn right.
Not enough films made about it.
Well, except MASH.
What the hell is MASH?
Ah, man, you gotta watch MASH.
Then I choose... Luke.
Okay.
No, Larry.
Larry, okay.
Ah, shitty shit!
I'm so sorry.
I don't think you're going bald.
What are you talking about?
You can easily pass that off as a double
crown.
You know what?
I appreciate that.
And you're pretty handsome yourself.
You don't have to say it.
You're a catch.
You got that mysterious thing,
like I'm thinking deep stuff.
And women, they're into that.
Really?
Because I'm not.
I mean, honestly, I've
been dead and I haven't
once thought about
the meaning of life.
They're like, this is it.
I'm like, yeah, that makes sense to me.
You're smart.
Don't ever think it.
You know who you are, you know what you
want, and you go and get it.
You start thinking about all the infinite
possibilities and guess what?
You never move.
She doesn't deserve you.
I shouldn't deserve you.
You are smart.
You're handsome.
And you're a war hero.
And you gave her kids.
I did.
And I bet you looked after them well.
Yeah, I did.
So will you.
And at first, it was about Luke and me.
And then there were decisions about Larry
and me.
And then, you know, it was about the kids.
And are you considering this eternity?
Mark.
But this one is about me.
And...
You are dead.
Jesus, Carol.
I'm sorry for now.
You're dead.
You have no obligations to anyone.
Maybe it's best you all have me.
It's just we have others interested.
And I... A little less of this.
A little more of this.
Thank you, honey.
Thank you.
You can go.
It's just...
She's a perfect person.
She's a perfect person.
Come here.
Oh.
Coming.
Do we have a little headache this morning?
I've made my decision.
Okay.
I'll gather your husbands.
I need a shower.
Yeah.
You do.
I'm so nervous.
Are you guys nervous?
You should definitely be nervous.
You two.
That doesn't mean that you should be more
nervous than anybody else.
But I'm just saying there's a lot of
nerves going all around.
Are you nervous?
Yeah, you sound nervous.
I'm nervous.
You guys should both be shitting
yourselves right now.
Shut up.
Sorry.
My client has reached her decision.
Love is a bond greater than death.
Mm-hmm.
But some bonds are...
well, better bonded.
You have your ionic bonds.
You have your covalent bonds.
Your savings bonds.
Veil bonds.
Yeah, okay.
That's good.
That's really... that's great.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Larry.
My first morning without you, I...
God, I hoped it was a bad dream.
I... I smelled your toast burning
downstairs.
I...
I heard the rattle of the back door.
And...
You know, I even... I even threw your...
your pillows on the ground the way...
the way you always did.
And...
you know, I was pretending.
It's okay, honey.
And the...
the funny thing is, is
that I... I felt that before.
When, uh, when...
Luke died.
We never had a chance to see...
where our lives... where
our love would take us.
But you gave me...
everything that I needed...
in the time we had.
God, how lucky am I?
So I've had you both.
You know?
And, uh...
Maybe things worked out...
the way they were meant to.
So what are you... what are you saying,
huh?
Uh...
I'm saying, um...
that I choose...
I choose... I choose...
neither of you.
You're kidding, right?
So you're gonna hurt three people instead
of one?
No, there was never
going to... to be one.
Don't you get it?
I was going to be crushed either way.
But we built a life together.
Yeah, maybe the beauty...
in life is that...
is that... things end.
Maybe that's what...
this is all for.
So...
So I choose...
neither of you.
Why do we even bother?
I mean, do we help?
Do we make a difference?
Of course we make a difference.
We annoy them.
They've just died.
They're scared.
It's better to be annoyed...
than to be scared.
Right?
You're sure about this?
Oh yeah, I'm sure.
Well, let's go.
You were right, by the way.
Even my proposal was about you.
You were the ghost I could never compete
with.
Yeah.
You have any idea how
jealous... I am of you?
I got to have a life with her.
Hey, you know you were the
last thing... I saw before I died?
What do you mean?
I'm eating a pretzel... and my
great-granddaughter... Charlotte?
Yeah.
Shows me this...
old picture of you and Joan...
on your wedding day.
And then I started choking.
Yeah!
I gotta admit, you weren't who I was
expecting.
You're exactly what I was expecting.
Yeah.
Minus the porn and hair dye.
About six months before I died...
I was braying at the temples...
and...
you know, I just didn't care.
Because Joan and I...
we just had this conversation about...
starting a family.
Everything was laid
out... in front of us.
That was my happiest.
I'm 35.
Joan was pregnant...
with our second.
And we went out to
dinner... one night.
The doctor was telling us about all
these...
new studies where you're not supposed to
drink when you're pregnant.
And I got my... glass of wine.
Joan took a sip of it.
And she just had this...
little smile on her face.
And... I don't know, but...
in that moment...
this felt like we were a team.
You okay?
Oh my god.
I have to go.
What's going on?
Your AC will explain everything.
What's an AC?
We can go to this... cafe on the Seine...
where a fake Satra and fake Camus...
have a fight.
And they have...
great pain au chocolat.
Was Camus the one who always talked about
death?
Because that just kind of seems pointless
now.
Really?
You know, I read Satra for beginners.
How do you say Satra?
Satra.
Satra.
Satra.
Satra.
And...
what's Larry doing here?
Please, Larry.
I made up my mind, okay?
You know this is best.
Your hair is different.
Okay.
Thank you.
You never had it like that...
when we were together.
No, I cut it after.
It suits you.
Larry.
You should go with Luke.
Okay?
You deserve a shot at that kind of love,
honey.
That...
fiery, sparky kind.
I was so, so happy with you.
I... I thought...
I thought you were happiest with him.
It's okay.
But what about you?
Don't worry about me.
I'll be in the sun.
Knowing you're happy makes me happy.
But it doesn't work unless you're happy.
Oh, Larry.
You better go break the news to Karen.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
It's the right thing.
Wow.
Maybe he shouldn't have flown to our sexy
pool in front of his face.
He has no one.
Hey.
Hi.
How are you holding up, Larry?
I'm all right.
No hard feelings, right, Larry?
For what it's worth, I totally thought you
had it there for a moment.
Thanks.
What's this?
Are you two together now?
Yeah.
We're going to give it another go.
Good.
You really showed us that living without
someone is a hollow mess.
What?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Give us a minute, please.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Totally.
I miss you already.
God.
Morning.
Morning.
I gotta say, I'm really proud of you,
Larry.
You're doing the right thing.
I feel terrible.
Yeah.
That happens.
Sometimes doing the right thing does feel
terrible.
So you never told me why you ended up
staying here.
Um, coming here...
I'll just say that coming here was an
improvement for me.
Here, I get to help lost souls find their
happiness.
And that gives me a sense of purpose.
But after time, you stop caring about
what's best for people.
You know, just pushing them along and...
Making sure their afterlife is ticking
over, you know?
Sell, sell, sell.
But then, you came along.
Yeah.
With that great ordinary love.
And you reminded me of why I chose this
place.
So thank you for that, Larry.
Well, I guess you're welcome.
So...
Have you chosen your eternity?
Yeah.
I think I have.
Okay, come on.
What?
Come on.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
It's very charming.
Car crash.
Oh, old age.
Cancer.
War.
Oh, war.
Which one?
One or two?
Korea.
Which counts?
Oh.
Yeah.
Wait.
It's all done.
Thank you.
So much.
So much.
It's all set up.
Awesome.
I understand.
Hi!
Ah, so you like books?
Yeah.
I'm a librarian so... Can I
help you with something?
Yeah, I can read.
That's good.
You're in the right place.
What's that one?
That's Dickens, Great Expectations.
Any good?
Um, you know, I haven't read it.
That's because I don't really love
Dickens.
It's a big controversy.
Yeah, I hate him.
You got a nice look.
Oh, thank you.
I'm Joan.
I'm Larry.
Nice to meet you, Larry.
Nice to meet you.
That's it.
Slow and steady.
Keep up the good work, Joan.
Oh, yeah.
Thanks, Simon.
Go fuck yourself.
It's good.
Yeah, really good.
What is that?
What is that?
How is it that he already needs to poop
again?
Four months old.
That's my boy.
Aw, honey.
He stinks.
Janet Conner.
They died doing a gender reveal party.
Yeah, there was so much blood.
Everywhere, just oozing.
We didn't see it coming.
We looked in, we're like, what's going on
in here?
Boom!
We were heads right off!
I love it when you do that.
Thank you, Fenwick.
I love it.
Are you sure you don't want to come?
The powder's fresh, Jay Bae.
Oh, I got plenty of powder yesterday.
Powdered out.
You sure?
Uh-huh.
Have fun.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye.
Are you sure?
You know, people die at these things.
I saw it on the internet.
It's a gender reveal party.
They're lethal and stupid.
Oh, just let him make a fuss.
I mean, I get, you know, eliminating the
surprise, but it's not party party.
You know, one of the great toys of my life
has been allowing for surprises.
Remember when you were convinced that Zack
was a girl?
Well, everything has to be a party
nowadays.
You just hate parties.
Everything has to be an event.
No, you mean...
I'll see you tomorrow.
Look, lady, it's not too healthy to be
coming back here all the time.
It's important to move on.
This is perfect.
Huh?
You're okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just a little cold.
Come on.
I booked this on a hot air balloon later
on.
And, uh, there's a new couple in Unit 9.
I think they'd, uh...
Ooh, I think they'd make great doubles
partners.
If I meet any more new people,
I'm going to explode.
And then what would you complain about?
What?
Come on, Joanie, you love to complain.
That's not a thing people love.
You okay?
I made a mistake.
Did you lose your skis again?
No, I, uh...
I made a mistake coming here with you.
Okay.
What'd I do wrong now?
Nothing.
Oh, nothing.
No, you're perfect.
I know you say you're not, but you are.
You're kind and brave and smart.
That's how I know.
I waited all these years for this.
This.
Why can't you just enjoy it?
We're in a literal paradise.
I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner.
I think I just got really caught up in
everything.
Joanie, what the... Maybe it would
have worked between us in life.
You know, maybe not, but I can't pretend
that my world didn't continue without you.
I am not asking you to.
I have never asked it of you.
Unlike you, I don't hide things.
What's that supposed to mean?
I grit my teeth every single day so you
can go to that damn tunnel.
Joanie, we were happiest together.
Yeah.
Of course we were.
It was young love.
It was love without the burden of a
mortgage or a job or kids.
It was, you know, the kind of love you
feel before knowing loss.
It was everything.
But love isn't just one happy moment.
Right?
It's a million.
And it's bickering in the car and
supporting someone when they need it and
it's growing together and looking after
each other.
We can grow together now.
We can look after each other now.
I mean, Luke, honestly, am I living up to
the memory?
You waited so long in that that artificial
place but here, this is real.
And you're living and I'm giving you
permission.
Go live without me.
Oh, you're giving me permission?
Are you?
Are you giving me permission?
Okay, I'm sorry.
That was a little condescending,
but sorry.
Thank you so much, my highness.
I'm a humble servant.
Thank you so much for the permission.
I'm sorry.
This is not fair.
It's not fair.
I know.
But...
I have to go back.
It's out of your mind.
The moment you step out the red door,
they'll find you.
They'll put you into the void.
No, you don't.
You can stay here with me.
Please stay.
Please stay.
Please stay.
I really do love you.
Hands up, Fenwick.
Give me the keys.
You've got it, Joanie.
You've got it, Joanie.
Yeah, stick them up.
Stick them up, Fenny.
Are you ready to die, Fenny?
You want me to cut you?
I'll cut you.
Oh, God.
Such a sweet boy.
So sweet.
I'll seduce him.
Okay.
Yeah.
You know that won't work.
I mean...
It might.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
You're gonna need a distraction.
Luka...
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
I know.
See, you remember how I used to do some
local theater?
Please don't touch the exhibits.
Remember, the exhibits aren't real.
She left me.
Why?
Oh, I know.
I know.
I know it's tough, I know, I know.
But trust me, it'll get better.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah, that's right.
Just let it out, Pika.
Let it out.
Let it out.
Let it all out.
Okay?
It's okay.
It's tough today, but there's always
tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
That's right.
That's right.
Okay.
I just need a good cry.
I get that.
I remember when my old... Anyway,
thanks.
I'm gonna pop in for, uh...
for old time's sake.
Yeah, but you didn't take a ticket.
I need to stop being such a giver.
You should hurry up.
Yeah.
Goodbye, Luke.
Goodbye, Joan.
I can't hear you!
Stop her!
Stop her!
I said stop!
I'm pregnant!
You will be okay, Joanie, I promise.
I'm sorry.
Are you?
No... Let go!
We're sorry for your loss.
No, no, no, no, no, no...
Drop the gun!
Come on!
Jesus,
I don't want to have this conversation
again.
No, I am not!
I am not comparing you to him!
I never compared you to him!
And I don't want to have this conversation
again!
I humiliate you, Joan!
I can't!
I can't!
Come on!
She brought it up!
What am I supposed to say?
She doesn't like me!
No!
No!
No!
She literally said, I don't like you!
You brought it up!
You brought it up!
Train
delayed on platform 186.
Escaping on the tracks.
Excuse me.
I need to know which eternity Larry Cutler
went to.
Ma'am, there have been 425,000 Larry
Cutlers.
Could you be more specific?
And I'm sick...
Red door escaping.
I've been thinking a lot about it,
and you know... I think that maybe...
They should consider being polys.
I'm not much of a multitasker,
babe.
What?
I'm a one woman man.
Oh, really?
Oh!
Oh, my God!
Watch where you're going, lady!
Huh?
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Go away!
Did you see a woman come running this way?
No.
She went that way.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
Good luck, you guys.
Let's go.
Move.
You're such a romantic.
We could sneak her into one of those old,
disused eternities.
Not one of the racist ones, but you'll be
safe there.
Security never checks that.
Where did he go?
Who?
Where's Larry?
Where is he?
That's a lot out there, huh?
Intense.
Yeah.
I know somewhere you could really unwind.
Come on, Lodge.
You know the rules.
I'm just trying to help a girl out.
I know what I want now.
I could show you my eternity.
It's just around the corner.
You heard the lady.
I preferred the last part.
It's the last time I'm doing this in
opinion.
You look like you could use a drink.
Oh...
Yeah.
You never left?
Nah.
Sand really does get everywhere.
Turns out that...
the cold is just cold.
Is that for you?
Oh, yeah.
I'm kind of a fugitive.
Come on.
Where are you going to go?
I know a place.
It could be dangerous.
Looks like Oakdale.
It's perfect.
Something your kiss just told me.
