Okay, well, what time?
Just get here.
-Hey.

That's our brother John.
Hey, we talked about this.
Are you not gonna

He knows who I am.
You know who I am, right?
-How could I forget?
-There, see?
I'll take this
to the little cabin.
-"Little cabin"?
-You okay?
We just thought, 'cause it's,
like, away from everyone,
it's a little quieter
over there.
-Yeah, thanks.
-Hey. You okay?
Yeah.
I'm great.
[Meg] Okay.
[distant chatter]
Card on the fridge,

Eye level.
Yeah, just give me a sec.
-[sighs] Glasses.
-Hey.
-I need--
-You good?
Yeah.
The boys are prepping
the imu pit,

So you just have to relax
in the meantime.
Yeah, sure.

-No, I'm okay. I--
Okolehao.
Hawaiian moonshine.
They made it right here
on the property.
[Zak] Hey, Meg, are there
some tables in the back?
Yeah, yeah, in the compound.
Hey, are you sure
you're good with all this?
Yeah. I'm okay.
Okay, 'cause you can just
let me know if you, like...
No. Mom and Dad
should be here, you know?
-[object clatters]
-Oh, no, shit.
-I'm so sorry.
-[Meg] Hey, guys. Come on.
You know
that can't happen, right?
Dad's gone. You remember?
Yeah. He's-- He's dead.
-Mm-hmm.
-Where's Mom?
Um, Mom is in California
with Aunt Kathy.
She had to get
out of the house for a while.
-Right. I knew that.
-Yeah? Mm-hmm.
-Hey.
-I'm having--
I know it's really hard
to remember all this stuff.
You are doing
a great job, okay?
It's so good to have you here.
Look at me.
You're doing so good.
It's been forever.
And you just let me know
when you need help, okay?
I'm right here.
Oh.
I'm right here.
-Thank you.
-Mm-hmm.
[John] Guys, where are
the paper towels at?
Oh, Meg, I didn't know
your family makes it here.
-Oh, yeah.
-Careful with that.
My dad learned
from my grandpa,
and he learned
from his dad, but...
Glasses.
My dad was the first person
to actually bottle it.
It's been in our family for...
Where are
the fucking glasses?
I need just one.
[tense music]
Nice, brah.
Okay, drag 'em.
[knife whirring]
Oh, brah.
Shit. Sorry.
Jesus.
I'm sorry.
-Good?
-Yeah, here.
Sorry.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Jesus Christ.
Ryan, why don't you
just sit over there?
-I got it. Okay.
-Just-- Ryan.
-Oh, shit.
-Fucking kidding me?
No, it's okay.
I got it, I got it.
-You okay?
-I got it.
He's just trying to help.
-Okay. You good?
-Yeah.
Go over there.
-[Ryan] I'm good. I can help.
-Go over there.
[Ryan] It won't happen again.
I--
Ryan, why don't

Get some water, okay?

Never seen that before.
Hi.
You look familiar.
Do I know you?
Hello.
Do I know you?
You look familiar.
Go on.
Go on.
Oh, there you are.
[laughs]
Go on.
You want to stay with me?
You want to talk to me?
Nobody else will.
You can be my buddy.
You and me.
You want to be my friend?
[girl] Hi.
You want to play scoop ball?
-[Ryan] Scoop ball?
-[girl] Yeah.
-Oh, my God, kids.
-[laughs]
Ugh. I want kids.
[laughs]
You do this
to make the ball go.
-[Ryan] Uh-huh.
-And you try to...
-Like that.
-[Ryan] Oh, you--
And then you try to catch it
with the scoop.
[Ryan] Okay. You're gonna
you're gonna flick it to me.
-So I flick it to you?
-Yep.
Okay.
Oh, you're really good.
All right.
-Thanks.
-Let's go.
Ooh.
[Leia] Looks like
he's doing better.
I'm pretty impressed.
I saw him a couple months ago.
-And...
-Yeah?
Um...
I don't-- I don't--
-I haven't seen him
in a bit, but...
-Yeah.
I don't know. I mean...
-Can I tell you something?
-Yeah.
Ooh.
-Close.
-Close.
When he got here, I was just
like, "Do I introduce myself?"
And then-- And then I saw
you guys, like, introducing
-like, reintroducing
yourselves again.
-Yeah.
So I was like, "Oh, okay,
that's where we are."
-Yeah.
-So...
I don't know.
I just, like, didn't--
I don't know.
What's that?
-This?
-Yeah.
Um, it's a scar.
Is that why
your brain's funny?
Mostly, yeah.
Okay, you ready?
I guess I'm just trying
to navigate, like--
I mean, honestly, so far,
you're doing a good job.
Like, I don't think
he remembers me, but...
Yeah.
It's nice to see him.
-And, like--
-Yeah.
-Oh, no. Yeah, it is.
-Yeah.
It's just so sad.
I mean...
It's sad.
It is sad.
I just think keeping things,
like, relatively normal
and positive and, like--
'Cause it's her birthday
-and he's here.
-Yeah.
-Oh, yes!
-[girl] Good job.
Thank you.
Thanks for, uh, teaching me.
-Yeah.
-This is fun.
[shouting and laughter]
Get it. Let's go.
Nice!
Go, go, go, go!
Right here. Yeah.
Set, go.
-Oh!
-Whoo!
Go, go!

-Um, sure.

[tense music]
[indistinct chatter]
Nice one.
Let's go.
Hey, Nick, let's have Ryan

-Wait, was it ours or yours?
-Wait.
-Is it ours or yours?
Your guys' serve.
Trying to steal the point.
Service. Here we go.
Oh, oh.

-Oh.
Yeah, let's play it.
There it is. There it is.
-Get it, Ryan.
-Go, go, go, go.

Let's go.

I'm gonna head back
and do the pit.
-Okay.
-[Nick] Hey, Ryan.
Your serve.
Okay, guys, let's rotate.
Ryan, just-- you can hit it
underhand if you want.
Play, play, play.
Jump. Jump, jump, jump.
Up, up, up.
-Jump. Go.
-[yelling and cheering]
-Hey.
-Good one, man.
-Thanks.
-Good job, man.
Great work.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, you just started.
I'll take it.
And one, two, three, and go.
All right, let's go, Abby.
Let's go, Abby.
Annie, catching up on her.
Here we go. Here we go.
Abby's off to a quick start.
There you go.
You're almost there.
And there it is.
Abby, you just got her,
just by one, just by a hair.
Why did you
start doing tarot?
Um...
I...
Why did I get into tarot?
I just was--
I was really into magic
when I was a child, basically.
Do you believe in it?
I do.
I think
it's about interpretation.
And I think it gives you
a mirror into yourself.
Do you want a reading?
[dramatic music]
Sure.
Do you want to tell me
what your question is?
Do you want to know?
I mean, I'm curious, but...
[Ryan] Um...
I just--
I want to know...
When it's gonna get easier?
All right.
-[both] Jan ken po.
-Yes, okay...
-[both] Jan ken po.
-Yes!
Oh, baby.
Had a little bit of beer.
Oh, a little roll action.
So you think
of the follow-through.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Okay.
-Nice.
-Holy shit.
[Fabrizio] Let's see
what the cards say.
[chuckles]
So your future...
has to do with steadfast,
quick movement
towards something specific.
What a rogue
and peasant slave am I.
Whoa.
-That was Hamlet.
-What?
You just remembered
a line from Hamlet.
-[chuckles] I did?
-Yeah.
You played Hamlet at UH
over ten years ago.
Do you remember?
No.
No, those words were just...
they were just there.
That was, like,
a four-hour play.
And you had
every line memorized.
-Really?
-Yeah.
And after everything
that you've been through,
after everything,
there comes the line.
That's...
The therapy must be working.
I hope so.
You're still going, right?
Yeah, every week.
There's just, you know,
so much I can't remember.
It's really frustrating.
[clears throat]
[Pat] Ryan. Fabrizio.
Hello, Uncle Pat.
-How you doing?
-Doing good.
-Seriously?
-What?
[chuckles]
When are you gonna let me
give you a reading?
Wait, wait, wait.
All those years of college...
like, weren't you
at, like, a PhD level?
And now you're a card reading,
fortunetelling,
guru kind of guy?
[John] Let's go, let's go.
Neck and neck here,
neck and neck.
Annie's getting close.
And there it is!
Come on, you got it.
Come on.
Nice.
Good job.
-[cries]
-Are you okay?
Hey, come here.
Come here. Are you okay?
Come on, let's go.
Ready? Come on.
Come on.
We're good.
You did good, though.
You did good, though, huh?
Yeah?
You did good, right?
You want to do another one
or no?
-No.
-No more? What happened?
It was just too much?
Yeah?
It was just too much?
All the way to the end-- Did I
push you a little too hard?
Okay.
-Okay, you ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Was-- Was I good?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were-- You were great.
I mean, you were funny.
You were outgoing.
You were weird.
You definitely raised
a little bit of hell.
-I meant at acting.
-Oh. [laughs]
Yeah. Yes. Yes.
You were a terrific actor.
Terrific.
I mean, you had
a full-ride scholarship at UH.
You played
in all of their shows.
They sold out the theater
twice when you played Hamlet.
-That's pretty cool.
-Yeah.
-What's the story?
-Oof, that's a big one.
Um, okay, so, uh,
you play, um, a prince
who's avenging
his father's death...
[Ryan] Uh-huh.
Because your father
came back as a ghost
to tell you
that your uncle killed him.
So you have an evil uncle.
You have a girl that you're
in love with who dies.
You kill her father
by accident.
I think your uncle dies.
I think maybe your mother
dies, or maybe she doesn't.
I don't really remember.
If you think
I'm playing well now,
you should see me after
a little bit of a okolehao.
[gasps] One.
-That's when I play my best.
-Ooh.
[bag thuds]
-Nice.
-Nice, Meg.
Remember last year
he invited those Hinge girls
and then, like,
completely ignored them?
Yeah. And then...
And we had
to hang out with them?
And entertain
them the whole time.
-Yes, oh, okay.
-Yes, my point exactly.
King of cornhole?
-Queen of cornhole.
-Oh, my God.
-Whatever. Whatever.
-Thank you, everybody.
-Good game.
-Whatever. That was luck.
I'll be here all night,
with you.
-Yeah, whatever.
-Good game.
-Good game. Good game.
-Whoop!
-Oh, my God.
-[both] Ooh!
-Good sportsmanship.
-Sorry.
We try. We try.
Hey, we know
who the real winners are.
I'm good. I'm good.
I am.
It's...
It's good that he's here,
and I talked with him before,
so he's gonna keep it
under control.
It's not gonna be old Ryan.
-Okay.
-I'm happy.
I'm happy he's here. Yeah.
You know, I have--
I have flashes of it.
I just can't grab on.
I don't remember the accident.
I mean, I try.
I try, and I try.
It's just not there.
-Will you grab me a beer?
-[Fabrizio] Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Thanks.
-Can you mix with your meds?
Yeah, yeah, it's--it's fine.
I just have to take it light.
Here, I got it.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Let me help you.
Oh, let's see if I got
something-- right here.
I can remember
a line from Hamlet,
but I can't open a beer.
You'll get there.
Five years.
Five years later,
and I'm walking again...
Finally back here.
It's good to have you back.
[dreamy music]
[muffled speech]
[muffled laughter]
[John] I feel like it's
always fucking something.
[Meg] Yeah, it wasn't working
last night either.
Like, since I've been here,
it hasn't been working.
And wasn't it doing this
last year, too?
[object scraping]
We should just get
a new one.
[John sighs]
Jesus, Dad really let
this place fall apart, huh?
Yeah, well, Dad let
a lot of things fall apart.
If Ryan lived here,
he could help you out
with this kind of stuff.
-Meg, stop.
-What?
-Please. Not again.
-It'll be nicer.
Don't be such an asshole
all the time.
I know. I'm the asshole.
I'm always the asshole, right?
He has to feel welcome here.
Meg, he's doing fine, okay?
Move.
[Meg] I think he just wants
to remember something
from that night.
Well, he's lucky
he never does.
John.
John.
It wasn't your fault.
[John] I know.
[John sighs]
[Meg sighs]
[tense music]
[Ryan] Talk to John about job.
Talk to John about job.
[muttering]
Talk to John about job.
[muttering indistinctly]
Talk to John about job.
...John about a job.
Yeah.
Oh.
Anyway, so I got
a first, uh, fish story.
I take Nick out,
take the kayak out.
-Oh, God, here we go.
-We go out to this island.
And there's kind of a mix of,
like, pelagic fish, reef fish,
everything here, so I know
he's gonna catch something.
And we go jigging
on the spinning reels.
He drops down the lure,
starts giving it some action.
Then, like, five seconds,
the thing hits.
It's-- [imitates reel whirring]
The reel starts going.
And then, um, he starts
reeling it up.
He's all excited.
He gets it, like, 30 feet from
the boat, and I can see it.
It's a beautiful...
with all the kind of silver
and the blues.
And then right then,
shark comes under, hits it.
And it...
reel starts going again.
He looks at me.
He's not knowing what to do.
And maybe two minutes later,
he's fighting the thing,
-and then the whole line broke.
-[laughter]
And that was the first fish
he never caught.
[laughter]
-[Pat] Oh, bummers.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
Bet you and Dad
have some good ones, huh?
We had some good ones,
yeah, a few.
Yeah, um...
Did he ever tell you
about the nose ring guy?
No.
So a friend of mine,
he was visiting from
another country, actually.
And he wanted to go fishing.
He'd never been...
-[whispers] John.
-Never even been on a boat.
I didn't know that
till we was ten miles out.
So we take him out
at daybreak.
We're going out
to the LL buoy.
What's up?
You remember Pat, right?
-[Pat] Hey. Hi, you.
-He's talking.
All right, so we're about
by the rubbish pile.
And we get double--
double strike.
And your dad is going crazy
reeling it in.
And my friend is trying
to figure it out.
And I just said,
"Just-- Just reel it.
It's not hard. You can do it."
So your dad pulls the mahi--
mahi-mahi, pulls it on board,
and those fish like...
-Just come find me.
-...to flop around a lot.
So he spit the hook.
The hook goes flying.
I didn't see that part 'cause
I was focused on the front,
but I hear my friend
kind of yelp, like, "Help."
So I look back at him.
And he has this hook
in his nose
like, the middle part of
the nose, all the way through.
And he was kind of, like a,
you know, deer in a headlight.
So your dad looked at me.
And we smiled and said, eh--
[man] ...I'd take it out...
[waves crashing]
[light music]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
-Oh, that's terrifying.
-Yeah. Yeah.
[chatter, laughter continue]
I had a coffee, and I was,
like, doing fine, whatever.
And on my walk back,
I had, like, two more...
[waves crashing]
-And I just started sweating.
-[Leia] Ooh.
[Meg] Ryan!
Ryan!
Ryan!
-[inaudible]
-[waves crashing]
You know you can't do that.
Wait. You don't have to leave.
Ryan.
[tense music]
[John] Ryan.
Hey.
Ryan.
Ryan.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's me.
Food's ready.
Just get cleaned up.
Wait, please.
Can we talk, please?
Sure.
Yeah, sure. What's up?
How are you?
Good. Busy.
Busy with what?
Work, life, you know?
I don't know.
I tried calling.
I thought you'd come by.
We talked, remember?
-Are you mad at me?
-No.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
I can help you
manage this place.
It's okay.
No, I'm stronger now.
I can't stay with Mom
in town anymore.
Please let me help here.
Ryan, just get
cleaned up, man.
Food's ready. Come on.
Dad would love it.
You know that.
He always wanted us to.
Ryan, you can, um, barely
take care of yourself, man.
How are you gonna
help me here?
Just get cleaned up.
[door opens, closes]
[Leia, Makena] One-night stand
I want to be more
than a friend
To you, to you
Okay, wait. Does this
red lip look ridiculous?
-[Leia] No. You look fantastic.
-I'm like, is it too much?
[Leia] Wait, wait.
Okay, so what is the vibe?
I don't know where I put it,
but Zak gave me, um...
[gasps]
-Gave me a little something
for tonight.
-Little something?
I'll find it.
Do you have it in here?
We can take it now.
I mean, I didn't--
Take it later.
-Yeah.
-[whispers] Or now?
-[laughs]
-Let's take it now.
Okay, okay.
That was the right answer.
I feel like we've had
enough, you know...
-Of course.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Have fun.
[laughs]
Ah. Whoo!
[laughter]
[laughter]
[tense music]
[indistinct chatter]
Just open it up. Check--
Just check right there.
[Meg] This is veg.
-This is the veggie?
-[Meg] Yeah.
-Okay, perfect.
-Middle one is veggie.
[clears throat]
Careful.
[indistinct chatter]
-Veggie.
-Whoa, absolutely.
-Yeah, good idea.
-Nice.
-You got a little--
-Please.
-Who wants the ear?
-Who wants the ear?
Oh. Oh!
-Yeah.
-Don't fuck with me.
Meg, it's your birthday.
Go for it.
-Birthday ear.
-Oh.
Yeah.
Good for your skin.
It's good for your--
-It's good for your--
-[laughs]
Hey, who's gonna kiss
the pig?
-Who's gonna kiss the pig?
-Louder. Louder.
Who's gonna kiss
the pig?
-Come on.
-Who's gonna
kiss the pig?
Actually--
[Makena]
Just give it a little kiss.
-There's also the brain.
-The brain.
-The brain.
-[Makena] Oh, shit.
-Exactly.
-Oh, the grand finale...
[Meg] Hey, guys, um...
thank you so much
for being here.
Like, seriously,
it means so much to me.
Um...
it's been a really hard year,
but you guys all really
helped me get through it.
My whole family-- you all really
helped us get through it.
Um, so I'm really grateful
to you all forever.
Um...
[Ryan giggling]
[Meg] It's really weird
that he's not here.
[Ryan giggling]
[Meg] It's okay.
-It's just part of the injury.
-[Ryan laughing]
[Pat] Before I say the prayer,
I just want to say...
-[snorts]
-It's been about nine months
since we had the celebration
of life for Uncle Jim.
[Ryan giggles]
[Pat] So I want to ask you guys
to hold hands...
close your eyes,
and think of...
Uncle Jim.
I just want
a moment of silence, of...
[Ryan continues laughing]
...remembering what
Uncle Jim did for you,
what he-- what he meant to you,
if he said something special,
just-- just a moment.
[Ryan cackling]
[speaking Hawaiian]
[in English] We come together
in prayer to praise your name
and to say mahalo nui lao
for all that you mean
in our lives.
[Ryan laughing]
[Pat speaking Hawaiian]
[Ryan laughing]
[Pat, in English]
Thank you for this time
as ohana to celebrate...
[speaking Hawaiian]
[in English]
...Meg's special day.
You know, you and your dad
and I was very close.
Every time I see you,
I see his light, his love,
and his spirit
shine through you.
He's always with you.
[Ryan laughing]
[John] Told you
this was a bad idea.
[Meg]
Can you just leave me alone?
[Pat] It's okay, John.
Calm down.
[crying softly]
[muffled]
Ryan, please, not right now.
Please, just leave me alone.
[Fabrizio] I got it.
Thank you.
-[Nick] There you go, sir.
-Love stretching like this.
-This feels great.
-[laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Meg] What do you want?
-[indistinct chatter]
-Yeah.
-[Fabrizio] So...
[Meg] Honestly, so good.
Here.
It's a little...
Good.
You're not necessarily
a fan of poi.
No, I don't love poi,
but the potatoes are good.
-You love potato.
-I love potato.
-Anyone else want poi?
-Wow.
-[laughs]
-That's hot.
-[indistinct chatter, laughter]
-Is it hot?
All right,
how much poi you want?
-[laughter]
-Here we go.
[indistinct chatter]
-So, um...
-Yeah.
-You want poi?
-Please, go on.
Please, tell me
more about your life.
What don't I know
about you, Makena?
-[Makena] Okay.
-Share it all with me at once.
-Could you guys pass
the salad down here?
-Yeah.
[Fabrizio] What's your deepest,
darkest secret?
-[Makena] Oh, my.
-What do you want?
Here you go.
[Makena] I've been thinking
a lot about...
You guys want any?
-I got it already.
-Feeling hungry.
-No, I'm good.
-I'm good.
Pat, you want some?
-Moving here.
-Mm.
[Nick] That's a big secret.
[Leia] Secret?
-[Nick] No, no.
-[Leia] No secret.
[laughter]
-Makena's gonna move.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
-[Leia] What?
[Makena] Potentially.
Potentially.
-Really?
-[Makena] Potentially.
When?
[Makena] I'm working
on splitting my time.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Galen] I don't know
if I agree.
-[laughter]
How you and me ended up
in the doghouse?
-[Makena] Yeah.
-[laughter]
So then we both went
into the doghouse
and started barking at people.
[laughter]
Bring anyone over tonight
this year?
-I invited someone.
-Mm!
But she hasn't confirmed yet.
-It's like a tradition.
-So--
-[laughter]
-At this point.
-[laughter]
-[Pat] I'm gonna talk to Ryan.
You never got sick.
[Galen] Remember what you said
at the library?
[Makena] What did I say
at the library?
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Pat groans]
Is everyone mad at me?
[Pat groans]
They just miss him.
Healing takes time.
I don't remember
what happened.
I just know that he's gone.
It's okay.
He got really sick
for a while,
but he passed peacefully.
Was I there?
Just your mom.
It's what he wanted.
Hey.
You came a long way.
I'm proud of you.
I'm trying.
I know.
But it's not just about you.
Meg and John are healing too,
right?
You have to remember that.
[animals chattering]
[Nick] All right, everybody!
We're gonna do
a sake bomb dedicated to Meg.
-[all cheering]
-Happy birthday, Meg.
-[Galen] Yes!
-You all know what to do.
This is tradition.
So repeat after me.

You want it, Zak?
-No, give it--

[Nick] Happy birthday, Meg.
Oh, my God.
[cheering continues]
I got to catch up

When the world was young
When all time began
Then a song was born
In the heart of man
Long ago
It was so
Loud and clear
Listen on
Maybe you'll recognize
Many dreams you left
In paradise
Long ago
They were so
Very near
When your heart is filled
With this haunting melody
Then remember these dreams
will live eternally
You've a right to dream
And to make them all
come true
They were born to be
a part of you
For this melody
never disappears
It was handed down
through the passing years
Long ago
It was so
Loud
And clear
Long ago
It was so
Loud and clear
-[objects clattering]
-[Meg] Oh, my God.
Okay. All right.
-All right.
-[Galen] All right.
[Ryan] Oh.
Time to call it
a night, yeah?
Hey.
I love you.
-I love you.
-I love you, too, okay?
Come on.
-Come on.
-Okay.
Yep. I'm gonna...
[speaking indistinctly]
No, Ryan.
We're going inside.
-We're going to bed, yeah?
-No, no, no.
I-- I'm good. I'm good.
-Lie down.
-[Ryan sighs]
-[Meg] Lie down. Down.
-[Ryan] Down.
-[Meg] All the way.
-[Ryan] Down.
-[Meg] Good night.
-[Ryan] Good night.
[dreamy music]
[exhales sharply]
[laughter]
I took, like, a little bit.
I took, like, half a point.
Um, so...
cruising pretty hard.
He'll understand.
I mean, I told him...
[laughter]
[Nick] And we caught these,
like, two super-trippy,
tiny little sharks with,
like, these green eyes.
[Galen] Can you take off
that dress for me, dear?
[laughter]
You're so stupid.
Sure, maybe later.
[upbeat music playing]
[man] I don't like this one.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
-[Makena] Right now, guys?
-[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, you need to leave,
okay?
-This is my family.
-All right.
These are my friends.
I can be here.
-Ryan, come on, let's go.
-Why?
Because you're embarrassing
yourself and everybody else.
-Come on.
-No, please.
[Meg] Okay, can you please stay
in your room this time?
-[Ryan] Yes.
-[Meg] And go to sleep.
[Ryan] I'm sorry.
[Meg] It's--
I just need you to...
Jeez.
Sit down.
[Ryan sighs] Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm a bad brother.
We love you.
We all love you, okay?
No, I'm a burden.
I'm a burden.
No, you're not.
Can you stop that?
You know it's true.
If you want to live
on your own,
you have to be responsible.
-I'm trying.
-Okay.
II know you're trying, but
it's been, like, five years
of Mom and I worrying about
you and taking care of you
and making sure
you don't get hurt.
I'll do better.
-I know I will.
-I know you will, too, okay?
Go to sleep.
[softly]
It was John's fault.
What?
[voice breaking]
It was John's fault.
Ryan, the car
clipped you guys,
and you weren't wearing
a helmet.
-He reached--
-That's what--
He reached over.
He grabbed my hand.
-What are you talking about?
-He grabbed--
[softly] He grabbed my hand.
He did.
Just go to sleep.
Okay?
Can you promise me that?
Okay.
Night's over.
See you tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Meg.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.

Thank you so much. Where is

-I don't give a fuck.
Just get him out of my face.
-[Meg] Where?
You did this to me.
-Ryan.
-No, you-- you grabbed my hand.
-He-- He said this...
-[John] What are you

...like an hour ago.
[Meg] What are you
talking about, Ryan?
You grabbed my hand.
You grabbed my hand,
and you did this.
You did this.
You made it go faster.

-I tried to stop.
-You're fucking drunk.
-No, I wanted to stop!
-He's drunk.

-No, you wanted
to beat the light.
-Get the fuck out.

[John] Do not fucking

[Meg] Wait.
What is he talking about?
Did you do something?
[John] No, I didn't
fucking do anything!
No, you wouldn't listen.
-[crying] You ruined me.
-[Meg] You did this?
-[John] I did not do anything.
-[Meg] John!
What the fuck are you

[Ryan crying]
Fuck you. No.

-Guys, guys.
-Are you fucking kidding me?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[John] He was already fucked up!
Your life was already

Your life was already
fucking ruined!
-[Meg] Stop!
-Fuck you!
John. John.
Cool...
-John.
-Get off. Get off. Get off.
[distorted dreamy music]
What happened
to your shoulder?
[somber music]
[John] Un-fucking-believable.
He doesn't remember anything.
[Meg] Yeah, probably
'cause you tackled him
to the fucking ground.
[John]
He blames me for everything
and then just dips back off
into la la land.
[Meg] Yeah, well, did you do it?
Did you do
what he said you did?
You can't even answer me?
[Meg crying]
You're lucky Dad's not here.
[somber music]
[Hawaiian folk music]
[Hawaiian folk music continues]
There's a little
brown road
Winding over the hill
To a little white cot
By the sea
There's a little green gate
At whose trellis I wait
While two eyes of blue
Come smiling through
At me
At me
There's a gray lock or two
In the brown of her hair
There's some silver
in mine, too
I see
But in all the long years
When the clouds brought
their tears
Those two eyes of blue
Kept smiling through
At me
At me
And if ever I'm left
In this world
All alone
I shall wait for my call
Patiently
For if heaven
Be kind
I shall wake there
To find
Those two
Eyes of blue
Still smiling
Through
At me
At me

you're doing a good job.
Like, I don't think
he remembers me, but...
Yeah.
It's nice to see him.
-And, like--
-Yeah.
-Oh, no. Yeah, it is.
-Yeah.
It's just so sad.
I mean...
It's sad.
It is sad.
I just think keeping things,
like, relatively normal
and positive and, like--
'Cause it's her birthday
-and he's here.
-Yeah.
-Oh, yes!
-[girl] Good job.
Thank you.
Thanks for, uh, teaching me.
-Yeah.
-This is fun.
[shouting and laughter]
Get it. Let's go.
Nice!
Go, go, go, go!
Right here. Yeah.

-Hey, man.
Can you take my place?
-Um, sure.
-Thanks.
[tense music]
[indistinct chatter]
Nice one.
Let's go.
Hey, Nick, let's have Ryan

Sorry.
-Okay, man?
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-It's our point.
-Wait, was it ours or yours?
-Wait.
-Is it ours or yours?
Your guys' serve.
Trying to steal the point.
Service. Here we go.
Oh, oh.
Ryan.
-Nice. Four hits. Let's go.
-Oh.
Yeah, let's play it.
There it is. There it is.
-Get it, Ryan.
-Go, go, go, go.

Let's go.
I got to...
I'm gonna head back
and do the pit.
-Okay.
-[Nick] Hey, Ryan.
Your serve.
Okay, guys, let's rotate.
Ryan, just-- you can hit it
underhand if you want.
Play, play, play.
Jump. Jump, jump, jump.
Up, up, up.
-Jump. Go.
-[yelling and cheering]
-Hey.
-Good one, man.
-Thanks.
-Good job, man.
Great work.
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, you just started.
I'll take it.
And one, two, three, and go.
All right, let's go, Abby.
Let's go, Abby.
Annie, catching up on her.
Here we go. Here we go.
Abby's off to a quick start.
There you go.
You're almost there.
And there it is.
Abby, you just got her,
just by one, just by a hair.
Why did you
start doing tarot?
Um...
I...
Why did I get into tarot?
I just was--
I was really into magic
when I was a child, basically.
Do you believe in it?
I do.
I think
it's about interpretation.
And I think it gives you
a mirror into yourself.
Do you want a reading?
[dramatic music]
Sure.
Do you want to tell me
what your question is?
Do you want to know?
I mean, I'm curious, but...
[Ryan] Um...
I just--
I want to know...
When it's gonna get easier?
All right.
-[both] Jan ken po.
-Yes, okay...
-[both] Jan ken po.
-Yes!
Oh, baby.
Had a little bit of beer.
Oh, a little roll action.
So you think
of the follow-through.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Okay.
-Nice.
-Holy shit.
[Fabrizio] Let's see
what the cards say.
[chuckles]
So your future...
has to do with steadfast,
quick movement
towards something specific.
What a rogue
and peasant slave am I.
Whoa.
-That was Hamlet.
-What?
You just remembered
a line from Hamlet.
-[chuckles] I did?
-Yeah.
You played Hamlet at UH
over ten years ago.
Do you remember?
No.
No, those words were just...
they were just there.
That was, like,
a four-hour play.
And you had
every line memorized.
-Really?
-Yeah.
And after everything
that you've been through,
after everything,
there comes the line.
That's...
The therapy must be working.
I hope so.
You're still going, right?
Yeah, every week.
There's just, you know,
so much I can't remember.
It's really frustrating.
[clears throat]
[Pat] Ryan. Fabrizio.
Hello, Uncle Pat.
-How you doing?
-Doing good.
-Seriously?
-What?
[chuckles]
When are you gonna let me
give you a reading?
Wait, wait, wait.
All those years of college...
like, weren't you
at, like, a PhD level?
And now you're a card reading,
fortunetelling,
guru kind of guy?
[John] Let's go, let's go.
Neck and neck here,
neck and neck.
Annie's getting close.
And there it is!
Come on, you got it.
Come on.
Nice.
Good job.
-[cries]
-Are you okay?
Hey, come here.
Come here. Are you okay?
Come on, let's go.
Ready? Come on.
Come on.
We're good.
You did good, though.
You did good, though, huh?
Yeah?
You did good, right?
You want to do another one
or no?
-No.
-No more? What happened?
It was just too much?
Yeah?
It was just too much?
All the way to the end-- Did I
push you a little too hard?
Okay.
-Okay, you ready?
-Mm-hmm.
Was-- Was I good?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You were-- You were great.
I mean, you were funny.
You were outgoing.
You were weird.
You definitely raised
a little bit of hell.
-I meant at acting.
-Oh. [laughs]
Yeah. Yes. Yes.
You were a terrific actor.
Terrific.
I mean, you had
a full-ride scholarship at UH.
You played
in all of their shows.
They sold out the theater
twice when you played Hamlet.
-That's pretty cool.
-Yeah.
-What's the story?
-Oof, that's a big one.
Um, okay, so, uh,
you play, um, a prince
who's avenging
his father's death...
[Ryan] Uh-huh.
Because your father
came back as a ghost
to tell you
that your uncle killed him.
So you have an evil uncle.
You have a girl that you're
in love with who dies.
You kill her father
by accident.
I think your uncle dies.
I think maybe your mother
dies, or maybe she doesn't.
I don't really remember.
If you think
I'm playing well now,
you should see me after
a little bit of a okolehao.
[gasps] One.
-That's when I play my best.
-Ooh.
[bag thuds]
-Nice.
-Nice, Meg.
Remember last year
he invited those Hinge girls
and then, like,
completely ignored them?
Yeah. And then...
And we had
to hang out with them?
And entertain
them the whole time.
-Yes, oh, okay.
-Yes, my point exactly.
King of cornhole?
-Queen of cornhole.
-Oh, my God.
-Whatever. Whatever.
-Thank you, everybody.
-Good game.
-Whatever. That was luck.
I'll be here all night,
with you.
-Yeah, whatever.
-Good game.
-Good game. Good game.
-Whoop!
-Oh, my God.
-[both] Ooh!
-Good sportsmanship.
-Sorry.
We try. We try.
Hey, we know
who the real winners are.
I'm good. I'm good.
I am.
It's...
It's good that he's here,
and I talked with him before,
so he's gonna keep it
under control.
It's not gonna be old Ryan.
-Okay.
-I'm happy.
I'm happy he's here. Yeah.
You know, I have--
I have flashes of it.
I just can't grab on.
I don't remember the accident.
I mean, I try.
I try, and I try.
It's just not there.
-Will you grab me a beer?
-[Fabrizio] Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Thanks.
-Can you mix with your meds?
Yeah, yeah, it's--it's fine.
I just have to take it light.
Here, I got it.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
Let me help you.
Oh, let's see if I got
something-- right here.
I can remember
a line from Hamlet,
but I can't open a beer.
You'll get there.
Five years.
Five years later,
and I'm walking again...
Finally back here.
It's good to have you back.
[dreamy music]
[muffled speech]
[muffled laughter]
[John] I feel like it's
always fucking something.
[Meg] Yeah, it wasn't working
last night either.
Like, since I've been here,
it hasn't been working.
And wasn't it doing this
last year, too?
[object scraping]
We should just get
a new one.
[John sighs]
Jesus, Dad really let
this place fall apart, huh?
Yeah, well, Dad let
a lot of things fall apart.
If Ryan lived here,
he could help you out
with this kind of stuff.
-Meg, stop.
-What?
-Please. Not again.
-It'll be nicer.
Don't be such an asshole
all the time.
I know. I'm the asshole.
I'm always the asshole, right?
He has to feel welcome here.
Meg, he's doing fine, okay?
Move.
[Meg] I think he just wants
to remember something
from that night.
Well, he's lucky
he never does.
John.
John.
It wasn't your fault.
[John] I know.
[John sighs]
[Meg sighs]
[tense music]
[Ryan] Talk to John about job.
Talk to John about job.
[muttering]
Talk to John about job.
[muttering indistinctly]
Talk to John about job.
...John about a job.
Yeah.
Oh.
Anyway, so I got
a first, uh, fish story.
I take Nick out,
take the kayak out.
-Oh, God, here we go.
-We go out to this island.
And there's kind of a mix of,
like, pelagic fish, reef fish,
everything here, so I know
he's gonna catch something.
And we go jigging
on the spinning reels.
He drops down the lure,
starts giving it some action.
Then, like, five seconds,
the thing hits.
It's-- [imitates reel whirring]
The reel starts going.
And then, um, he starts
reeling it up.
He's all excited.
He gets it, like, 30 feet from
the boat, and I can see it.
It's a beautiful...
with all the kind of silver
and the blues.
And then right then,
shark comes under, hits it.
And it...
reel starts going again.
He looks at me.
He's not knowing what to do.
And maybe two minutes later,
he's fighting the thing,
-and then the whole line broke.
-[laughter]
And that was the first fish
he never caught.
[laughter]
-[Pat] Oh, bummers.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
Bet you and Dad
have some good ones, huh?
We had some good ones,
yeah, a few.
Yeah, um...
Did he ever tell you
about the nose ring guy?
No.
So a friend of mine,
he was visiting from
another country, actually.
And he wanted to go fishing.
He'd never been...
-[whispers] John.
-Never even been on a boat.
I didn't know that
till we was ten miles out.
So we take him out
at daybreak.
We're going out
to the LL buoy.
What's up?
You remember Pat, right?
-[Pat] Hey. Hi, you.
-He's talking.
All right, so we're about
by the rubbish pile.
And we get double--
double strike.
And your dad is going crazy
reeling it in.
And my friend is trying
to figure it out.
And I just said,
"Just-- Just reel it.
It's not hard. You can do it."
So your dad pulls the mahi--
mahi-mahi, pulls it on board,
and those fish like...
-Just come find me.
-...to flop around a lot.
So he spit the hook.
The hook goes flying.
I didn't see that part 'cause
I was focused on the front,
but I hear my friend
kind of yelp, like, "Help."
So I look back at him.
And he has this hook
in his nose
like, the middle part of
the nose, all the way through.
And he was kind of, like a,
you know, deer in a headlight.
So your dad looked at me.
And we smiled and said, eh--
[man] ...I'd take it out...
[waves crashing]
[light music]
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
-Oh, that's terrifying.
-Yeah. Yeah.
[chatter, laughter continue]
I had a coffee, and I was,
like, doing fine, whatever.
And on my walk back,
I had, like, two more...
[waves crashing]
-And I just started sweating.
-[Leia] Ooh.
[Meg] Ryan!
Ryan!
Ryan!
-[inaudible]
-[waves crashing]
You know you can't do that.
Wait. You don't have to leave.
Ryan.
[tense music]
[John] Ryan.
Hey.
Ryan.
Ryan.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's me.
Food's ready.
Just get cleaned up.
Wait, please.
Can we talk, please?
Sure.
Yeah, sure. What's up?
How are you?
Good. Busy.
Busy with what?
Work, life, you know?
I don't know.
I tried calling.
I thought you'd come by.
We talked, remember?
-Are you mad at me?
-No.
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
I can help you
manage this place.
It's okay.
No, I'm stronger now.
I can't stay with Mom
in town anymore.
Please let me help here.
Ryan, just get
cleaned up, man.
Food's ready. Come on.
Dad would love it.
You know that.
He always wanted us to.
Ryan, you can, um, barely
take care of yourself, man.
How are you gonna
help me here?
Just get cleaned up.
[door opens, closes]
[Leia, Makena] One-night stand
I want to be more
than a friend
To you, to you
Okay, wait. Does this
red lip look ridiculous?
-[Leia] No. You look fantastic.
-I'm like, is it too much?
[Leia] Wait, wait.
Okay, so what is the vibe?
I don't know where I put it,
but Zak gave me, um...
[gasps]
-Gave me a little something
for tonight.
-Little something?
I'll find it.
Do you have it in here?
We can take it now.
I mean, I didn't--
Take it later.
-Yeah.
-[whispers] Or now?
-[laughs]
-Let's take it now.
Okay, okay.
That was the right answer.
I feel like we've had
enough, you know...
-Of course.
-Yeah.
-Okay.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Have fun.
[laughs]
Ah. Whoo!
[laughter]
[laughter]
[tense music]
[indistinct chatter]
Just open it up. Check--
Just check right there.
[Meg] This is veg.
-This is the veggie?
-[Meg] Yeah.
-Okay, perfect.
-Middle one is veggie.
[clears throat]
Careful.
[indistinct chatter]
-Veggie.
-Whoa, absolutely.
-Yeah, good idea.
-Nice.
-You got a little--
-Please.
-Who wants the ear?
-Who wants the ear?
Oh. Oh!
-Yeah.
-Don't fuck with me.
Meg, it's your birthday.
Go for it.
-Birthday ear.
-Oh.
Yeah.
Good for your skin.
It's good for your--
-It's good for your--
-[laughs]
Hey, who's gonna kiss
the pig?
-Who's gonna kiss the pig?
-Louder. Louder.
Who's gonna kiss
the pig?
-Come on.
-Who's gonna
kiss the pig?
Actually--
[Makena]
Just give it a little kiss.
-There's also the brain.
-The brain.
-The brain.
-[Makena] Oh, shit.
-Exactly.
-Oh, the grand finale...
[Meg] Hey, guys, um...
thank you so much
for being here.
Like, seriously,
it means so much to me.
Um...
it's been a really hard year,
but you guys all really
helped me get through it.
My whole family-- you all really
helped us get through it.
Um, so I'm really grateful
to you all forever.
Um...
[Ryan giggling]
[Meg] It's really weird
that he's not here.
[Ryan giggling]
[Meg] It's okay.
-It's just part of the injury.
-[Ryan laughing]
[Pat] Before I say the prayer,
I just want to say...
-[snorts]
-It's been about nine months
since we had the celebration
of life for Uncle Jim.
[Ryan giggles]
[Pat] So I want to ask you guys
to hold hands...
close your eyes,
and think of...
Uncle Jim.
I just want
a moment of silence, of...
[Ryan continues laughing]
...remembering what
Uncle Jim did for you,
what he-- what he meant to you,
if he said something special,
just-- just a moment.
[Ryan cackling]
[speaking Hawaiian]
[in English] We come together
in prayer to praise your name
and to say mahalo nui lao
for all that you mean
in our lives.
[Ryan laughing]
[Pat speaking Hawaiian]
[Ryan laughing]
[Pat, in English]
Thank you for this time
as ohana to celebrate...
[speaking Hawaiian]
[in English]
...Meg's special day.
You know, you and your dad
and I was very close.
Every time I see you,
I see his light, his love,
and his spirit
shine through you.
He's always with you.
[Ryan laughing]
[John] Told you
this was a bad idea.
[Meg]
Can you just leave me alone?
[Pat] It's okay, John.
Calm down.
[crying softly]
[muffled]
Ryan, please, not right now.
Please, just leave me alone.
[Fabrizio] I got it.
Thank you.
-[Nick] There you go, sir.
-Love stretching like this.
-This feels great.
-[laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
-[Meg] What do you want?
-[indistinct chatter]
-Yeah.
-[Fabrizio] So...
[Meg] Honestly, so good.
Here.
It's a little...
Good.
You're not necessarily
a fan of poi.
No, I don't love poi,
but the potatoes are good.
-You love potato.
-I love potato.
-Anyone else want poi?
-Wow.
-[laughs]
-That's hot.
-[indistinct chatter, laughter]
-Is it hot?
All right,
how much poi you want?
-[laughter]
-Here we go.
[indistinct chatter]
-So, um...
-Yeah.
-You want poi?
-Please, go on.
Please, tell me
more about your life.
What don't I know
about you, Makena?
-[Makena] Okay.
-Share it all with me at once.
-Could you guys pass
the salad down here?
-Yeah.
[Fabrizio] What's your deepest,
darkest secret?
-[Makena] Oh, my.
-What do you want?
Here you go.
[Makena] I've been thinking
a lot about...
You guys want any?
-I got it already.
-Feeling hungry.
-No, I'm good.
-I'm good.
Pat, you want some?
-Moving here.
-Mm.
[Nick] That's a big secret.
[Leia] Secret?
-[Nick] No, no.
-[Leia] No secret.
[laughter]
-Makena's gonna move.
-Oh.
-Yeah.
-[Leia] What?
[Makena] Potentially.
Potentially.
-Really?
-[Makena] Potentially.
When?
[Makena] I'm working
on splitting my time.
[indistinct chatter]
-[Galen] I don't know
if I agree.
-[laughter]
How you and me ended up
in the doghouse?
-[Makena] Yeah.
-[laughter]
So then we both went
into the doghouse
and started barking at people.
[laughter]
Bring anyone over tonight
this year?
-I invited someone.
-Mm!
But she hasn't confirmed yet.
-It's like a tradition.
-So--
-[laughter]
-At this point.
-[laughter]
-[Pat] I'm gonna talk to Ryan.
You never got sick.
[Galen] Remember what you said
at the library?
[Makena] What did I say
at the library?
[indistinct chatter, laughter]
[Pat groans]
Is everyone mad at me?
[Pat groans]
They just miss him.
Healing takes time.
I don't remember
what happened.
I just know that he's gone.
It's okay.
He got really sick
for a while,
but he passed peacefully.
Was I there?
Just your mom.
It's what he wanted.
Hey.
You came a long way.
I'm proud of you.
I'm trying.
I know.
But it's not just about you.
Meg and John are healing too,
right?
You have to remember that.
[animals chattering]
[Nick] All right, everybody!
We're gonna do
a sake bomb dedicated to Meg.
-[all cheering]
-Happy birthday, Meg.
-[Galen] Yes!
-You all know what to do.
This is tradition.
So repeat after me.
-Banzai!
-[all] Banzai!
-Banzai!
-[all] Banzai!
-Banzai!
-[all] Banzai!
[laughter]
[all cheering]
-[Nick] Happy birthday, Meg!
-[laughter]
[speaking indistinctly]
[indistinct chatter]
[Nick] All right, guys.
There's one last shot
of okolehao.
Who's gonna take it?
-Galen?
-[Galen] I got my glass.
Come on, bro... Or Zak.
You want it, Zak?
-No, give it--
-[all cheering]
[Nick] Happy birthday, Meg.
Oh, my God.
[cheering continues]
I got to catch up
with Meg now, jeez.
-Anyone else want more?
-[Galen] Wow.
-Get to work, guys. Come on.
-Oh.
-Yeah, we're all behind you.
-[laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
-Oh, my God.
-John! John!
-One second.
-Come on.
[Nick] All right, John's
not gonna do it.
-Oh, well.
-Hey.
Yeah.
[upbeat music playing]
[cheering and chatter]
[music stops]
[distorted eerie music]
["Volver" by Carlos Gardel
playing distorted]
[engine turns over]
[John] Ryan, wait up.
-I'm coming with you.
-[chuckles]
All right.
Come on. You can make it.
-Go, go, go!
-No, no, no!
-[horn blares]
-[tires squeal, crashing]
[breathing deeply]
[soft dramatic music]
[John breathing heavily]
[sweeping music]
When the world was young
When all time began
Then a song was born
In the heart of man
Long ago
It was so
Loud and clear
Listen on
Maybe you'll recognize
Many dreams you left
In paradise
Long ago
They were so
Very near
When your heart is filled
With this haunting melody
Then remember these dreams
will live eternally
You've a right to dream
And to make them all
come true
They were born to be
a part of you
For this melody
never disappears
It was handed down
through the passing years
Long ago
It was so
Loud
And clear
Long ago
It was so
Loud and clear
-[objects clattering]
-[Meg] Oh, my God.
Okay. All right.
-All right.
-[Galen] All right.
[Ryan] Oh.
Time to call it
a night, yeah?
Hey.
I love you.
-I love you.
-I love you, too, okay?
Come on.
-Come on.
-Okay.
Yep. I'm gonna...
[speaking indistinctly]
No, Ryan.
We're going inside.
-We're going to bed, yeah?
-No, no, no.
I-- I'm good. I'm good.
-Lie down.
-[Ryan sighs]
-[Meg] Lie down. Down.
-[Ryan] Down.
-[Meg] All the way.
-[Ryan] Down.
-[Meg] Good night.
-[Ryan] Good night.
[dreamy music]
[exhales sharply]
[laughter]
I took, like, a little bit.
I took, like, half a point.
Um, so...
cruising pretty hard.
He'll understand.
I mean, I told him...
[laughter]
[Nick] And we caught these,
like, two super-trippy,
tiny little sharks with,
like, these green eyes.
[Galen] Can you take off
that dress for me, dear?
[laughter]
You're so stupid.
Sure, maybe later.
[upbeat music playing]
[man] I don't like this one.
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
-[Makena] Right now, guys?
-[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, you need to leave,
okay?
-This is my family.
-All right.
These are my friends.
I can be here.
-Ryan, come on, let's go.
-Why?
Because you're embarrassing
yourself and everybody else.
-Come on.
-No, please.
[Meg] Okay, can you please stay
in your room this time?
-[Ryan] Yes.
-[Meg] And go to sleep.
[Ryan] I'm sorry.
[Meg] It's--
I just need you to...
Jeez.
Sit down.
[Ryan sighs] Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I'm a bad brother.
We love you.
We all love you, okay?
No, I'm a burden.
I'm a burden.
No, you're not.
Can you stop that?
You know it's true.
If you want to live
on your own,
you have to be responsible.
-I'm trying.
-Okay.
II know you're trying, but
it's been, like, five years
of Mom and I worrying about
you and taking care of you
and making sure
you don't get hurt.
I'll do better.
-I know I will.
-I know you will, too, okay?
Go to sleep.
[softly]
It was John's fault.
What?
[voice breaking]
It was John's fault.
Ryan, the car
clipped you guys,
and you weren't wearing
a helmet.
-He reached--
-That's what--
He reached over.
He grabbed my hand.
-What are you talking about?
-He grabbed--
[softly] He grabbed my hand.
He did.
Just go to sleep.
Okay?
Can you promise me that?
Okay.
Night's over.
See you tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Meg.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.

From me
No, no
-No worries
-I'm Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky
Just can't
Just can't bring me down
No
Can't bring me down
Can't bring me down
Even when
the times seem good
I know that things
will get better, better
Even when the seas
seem so low
I know the docks,
they're gonna settle, settle
Every night when I go
Another one
So I can go, I can go
I'm gonna keep hoping
I'm Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky
He's so happy
Ain't got no worries
from me
-No worries
-No, no
I'm Mr. Happy-Go-Lucky...
[Ryan] Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you

Hello? Hello?
We need to sing
"Happy Birthday."
Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you
-Ryan, please stop.
-It's a birthday party.
-Please stop.
It's a-- It's her birthday.
It's your birthday.
Yes, it is.
And I love the cake.
Will you get him
out of here?
Thank you so much. Where is
he supposed to go, John?
-I don't give a fuck.
Just get him out of my face.
-[Meg] Where?
You did this to me.
-Ryan.
-No, you-- you grabbed my hand.
-He-- He said this...
-[John] What are you
talking about?
...like an hour ago.
[Meg] What are you
talking about, Ryan?
You grabbed my hand.
You grabbed my hand,
and you did this.
You did this.
You made it go faster.
-[John] You're fucking drunk.
-I tried to stop.
-You're fucking drunk.
-No, I wanted to stop!
-He's drunk.
-[Ryan] I wanted to stop.
Please, please
get him out of here.
You're fucking wasted.
How many drinks
have you had right now?
How many fucking drinks
have you had right now?
-[Ryan] You remember!
-You need to get out.
-John... Remembers what?
-No, you wanted
to beat the light.
-Get the fuck out.
-You tried to beat the light.
[John] Do not fucking
do this right now, Ryan.
[Meg] Wait.
What is he talking about?
Did you do something?
[John] No, I didn't
fucking do anything!
No, you wouldn't listen.
-[crying] You ruined me.
-[Meg] You did this?
-[John] I did not do anything.
-[Meg] John!
What the fuck are you
talking about, Ryan?
[Ryan crying]
Fuck you. No.
-Fuck you.
-I'll never forgive you
for this.
[Meg] John, what is
he talking about?
[all shouting]
-Guys, guys.
-Are you fucking kidding me?
-You ruined my life!
-Hey, hey.
-[John] I did this?
-No, you did this!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
[John] He was already fucked up!
Your life was already
fucking ruined,
you fucking piece of shit!
[Meg] What the fuck
are you talking about, John?
Your life was already
fucking ruined!
-[Meg] Stop!
-Fuck you!
John. John.
Cool...
-John.
-Get off. Get off. Get off.
[distorted dreamy music]
What happened
to your shoulder?
[somber music]
[John] Un-fucking-believable.
He doesn't remember anything.
[Meg] Yeah, probably
'cause you tackled him
to the fucking ground.
[John]
He blames me for everything
and then just dips back off
into la la land.
[Meg] Yeah, well, did you do it?
Did you do
what he said you did?
You can't even answer me?
[Meg crying]
You're lucky Dad's not here.
[somber music]
[Hawaiian folk music]
[Hawaiian folk music continues]
There's a little
brown road
Winding over the hill
To a little white cot
By the sea
There's a little green gate
At whose trellis I wait
While two eyes of blue
Come smiling through
At me
At me
There's a gray lock or two
In the brown of her hair
There's some silver
in mine, too
I see
But in all the long years
When the clouds brought
their tears
Those two eyes of blue
Kept smiling through
At me
At me
And if ever I'm left
In this world
All alone
I shall wait for my call
Patiently
For if heaven
Be kind
I shall wake there
To find
Those two
Eyes of blue
Still smiling
Through
At me
At me
