Skylar the Beautiful (2023) Movie Script
(music)
How are you holding up?
I mean, how am I holding up.
The rents due.
I think they might shut
the power off today.
Which is fine,
considering that I just
mostly stare up at the ceiling
contemplating how I'm going to
spend the next 18 years of my
life.
I don't know.
My feet are hurting constantly.
I can't even bend down to tie my shoe,
and I go to bed terrified every night.
It just all feels like a bad dream,
and I feel like I'm gonna
wake up and Georgia's gonna be
there.
I just,
(wind rustles)
Not to mention that he
left with no life insurance,
no money saved up,
and
I don't know, I guess you could say that
I'm not so hot right now.
Listen, you are a strong, capable woman.
You're gonna be a great mom.
As for the electric bill,
Jeff actually already
took care of it this month.
Okay?
But that being said,
we need to talk about
how you're gonna take care
of yourself.
Skylar, you know, I will
always be there for you,
but Jeff and I we're
spread as thin as it is.
I know I don't expect a lot.
And you know, dad's always been there, so.
Dad lost his job, Skylar.
What?
He was laid off about two months ago.
We were gonna tell you,
but we didn't want to bother
you with baby and George losing
his job
He was t-boned into a
tree and crushed to death.
Yeah.
You can get a job?
Skylar, unless you've got a man ready
to walk through that door
in the next five minutes
and sweep you and your
unborn child off your feet,
I suggest you consider your options.
What is that?
It's just a formality really.
Kip said you could start today or tomorrow,
but sooner rather than later.
So this is why you came out here?
Not because you care, but
because you want your poor,
widowed sister to find a job
so she doesn't have to ask for
money?
You're not widowed, Skylar,
you and George were never married,
which is why you're in this
situation in the first place.
Skylar, Skylar, would you please stop?
I'm trying to talk to you.
What?
Audrey, the last thing I'm
worried about is having a job.
Well, you've gotta do something
or you're gonna be out
on your ass in a few months
with nowhere to go.
I don't care.
Okay, I don't care what you think
and I do not need your help.
What are you gonna do then?
You know what, don't worry about.
It's not your problem.
And I don't need anybody's help.
(somber music)
Hey, Sky.
Sky.
Oh, she' pissed.
So what are you and Jeff gonna do?
I don't know.
She won't talk to us or
take help from anyone.
Well, how's everything else going?
Don't be an idiot, Matt.
My sister's fiance just died.
All right, sorry.
So what's the deal with Shawn anyway?
Well, he's lost his job today.
Again?
Yep.
Again.
I swear, it's like he's
not even trying anymore.
You got him that job, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Wait, why?
(birds chirping)
Whoa.
What you doing out here?
Did I scare you?
Yeah.
What's, what you doing?
I heard you have a lot of
time on your hands these days.
Yeah, I lost my job, again.
I came to ask you a favor.
Favor, huh?
What kind of favor?
Well, first I need to
know you're gonna say yes.
You need to know, I'm gonna say yeah.
How am I supposed to
say yes, if you don't tell me
what kind of favor it is?
Does it really matter?
Name it.
I want you to look
after my sister for a while.
Oh, come on.
No, don't do this to me.
What?
What can't you do?
Oh, come on now.
Why you bringing that over here?
What can't you do for
your dead best friend's wife?
Why are you bringing this?
Why are you putting this on me, huh?
The very people who you depend
on in your hour of need who
have always been there to help you?
What the fuck, Shawn?
Look, don't you think it's
hard enough for me as it is?
We've been friends since
we were kids, all right?
George just died like
Easy for you?
Do you think this is easy for her?
Stop being such a coward, Shawn.
What am I supposed to do?
Am I supposed to tie her
shoes for her, rub her back,
make her dinner, take the trash out?
Like, what do you want me to do?
Yes, all of it, it couldn't hurt, right?
Maybe pick up a check
every once in a while.
Pay a freaking bill.
You know her rent is due
at the first of the month.
Get a job, huh?
Oh, it's, and it's, now, it's my problem.
You know what?
Look, you have always
depended on our family.
Everyone around you has done
something for you, Shawn.
And I'm not just talking
about me or George or Jeff
or Skylar.
You owe everyone something.
I owe everyone something, huh?
Yeah, you do.
When you came over here, you
know, asking me for a favor,
I figured it'd be the same
kinda one you, you know,
do for Matt, but(Shawn laughs)
Fuck you.
You know, I will not be
judged by someone like you.
Someone like me?
And yeah, Jeff and I,
our marriage isn't perfect,
but at least we freaking try.
That's what you call trying,
begging your husband's best friend?
Yeah, that's, yeah.
Try and do something.
Yeah, well, it's a lot
better than what you did.
You freaking deadbeat.
You're Mr. High and Mighty over here,
taking the moral high ground, over me?
You haven't spoken to those kids in years.
Oh, it's nice to see
you and Lindsay still talk.
Just gonna throw that
in my face, that's cool.
You're a loser, Shawn.
An opportunity to do something
like this for your best
friend's wife is the best thing
someone like you could ever
hope for.
She's a good woman, and she needs help.
She needs your help.
You've got nothing else
going on and all the time
in the world.
You know this might be the last chance
you get in life to do something
that actually matters.
(birds chirping)
(Shawn yelps)
(pensive music)
(sentimental music)
(wood creaking)
(crickets chirping)
Shawn - Skylar.
Hey, I was in the neighborhood.
I figured I'd stop by and
see how you were doing.
Listen,
I want to talk to you about something,
you think we could, you know, go inside?
Fine.
(bowls clanking)
(drink pouring)
All right, Shawn, what'd
you wanna talk about?
Well, first off an apology.
I'm sorry I haven't been
here the past few weeks doing
something for you.
Who said I needed you here?
Nobody.
And no one should have
to tell me that one of my best
friends who's going
through a difficult time,
that I need to come and see
how she's doing and you know,
if there's anything that
I can do for her and
Right, so you've been talking to Aubree?
Yeah, I've been talking to Aubree.
So what?
What, you gonna shut out all the people
who care about you, Sky?
You've got people here who care about you,
who really wanna do something for you.
I wanna do something
for you, I care about you.
And I'm sorry that I haven't been here.
Skylar.
Come on, talk to me.
Listen, I'm here now
and I want to be here now,
and I want to do something for you, Skylar.
Please,
tell me what I can do.
I don't know, I don't know what I want.
I don't know what everybody wants from me.
I don't know.
But I know that I am here
now and I care about you Sky,
and I want to do something for you.
Please.
Come on, just name it
anything that you want
and I'll make it happen.
Or somewhat.
This
What, this?
It's just.
It's just supposed to go upstairs?
Ain't got no business
carrying this anyways.
I can do this all day.
(stairs creak)
It's just, over here.
You... You can just drop it there.
You want me to put him in the thing?
No, I'll get to it.
There's just
What?
Oh, a spider?
Why didn't you kill it?
I'm not a big fan.
Okay.
I don't wanna touch it with my man hands.
It's kind big, it's got
a little bit of air to it.
Are you kidding me?
Jesus Shawn.
(Shawn laughs)
(calming music)
Alright, all taken care of for you.
(wood creaking)
Hey.
Hey.
It's getting kind of late, so
I'm probably gonna head out.
Yeah.
Did you need anything before I go?
No.
Okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
(crickets chirping)
(pensive music)
(door opens)
Hey, so I can't get my truck started,
so, you know, I figured
I'd crash here for the night,
if that's alright with you.
Oh yeah.
I ain't gonna be able to
see anything up underneath
the hood and, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
No, yeah.
No, yeah, right, yeah, of course.
Of course you can.
I can sleep on the floor if
you're gonna take the couch.
Oh, no, I am, I can sleep upstairs.
I just, the TV, but
Okay.
Okay.
Goodnight, Shawn.
Goodnight.
(moody music)
(train horn blares)
(Skylar clears throat)
(Skylar clears throat)
Oh, morning, Sky.
What are you doing so early?
It's 8:00 AM.
Oh.
8:00 AM?
Look, Shawn, I appreciate
you staying last night,
but I really don't need
anybody to watch over me.
No, I told you I couldn't
get my truck started.
I told you I couldn't get it started.
I'd check it out in the morning.
Right, well, I have to get ready.
Where are you going?
Out.
Is that okay with you?
Yeah, no, I was, I was just asking.
Kayaking.
Kayaking?
Yeah, is that a problem?
No, no.
I'm, I'll go with you.
What?
What's wrong with two old
friends going kayaking together?
You know, as memory serves me correct,
you and me used to be
closer back in the day,
a lot closer than you and Georgie were.
Come on, Sky.
Just let me go to the
park with you, go kayaking.
You need someone to carry the
kayak for you and I can make
sure that you don't capsize
while you're out there.
Plus I hear the waters get
pretty rough this time of year.
I'll take that as a very reluctant yes.
Hey, is there any of that coffee left?
No.
Of course not.
Why would there be?
(birds chirping)
(water flowing)
(water sloshing)
Sorry, how bad?
You remember we used to
come up here a long time ago?
Yeah.
You'd steal your dad's truck
while he was working over at the foundry.
And you pick us all up
behind the bowling alley.
We load them coolers up and we
just blast down the roadway.
Oh God.
He would come outta work,
his truck wouldn't be there.
Oh my God, he'd be so pissed.
He was hot.
He'd kill me.
Yeah, your dad was not happy.
I remember that.
You used to get me in so much trouble.
I got you in trouble.
Yeah.
Nah.
Oh yeah.
You stole the truck.
Because you wanted me to.
Man, well, you know
Steal your dad's
truck, it's a good truck.
It'll fit our kayaks.
We were wild.
Yeah, I don't even understand why,
you know, I got the shit stick for it.
It was, you took the truck.
It was your dad.
Georgie and John's like yo.
Oh wow, man.
Yeah.
Earl was a trip though.
Yeah. I miss him.
Yeah, me too.
Are you kidding me?
Oh!
(people laughing)
Well, you got me wazing!
Stop, stop.
(water splashes)
Oh my God, are you okay?
(Skylar laughs)
You're all right?
Yeah, I think I'll live.
I'm okay.
Yeah, serves you right.
See ya.
Oh, what are you gonna leave me out here?
Imma tip you over.
(Skylar laughs)
(Shawn laughs)
Whoa, Jeff, what you doing
all the way out here without Aubree?
Whoops, spoke too soon.
What are you guys doing out here?
Kayaking, obviously, like you guys.
Really?
Where's your kayak?
So, Skylar 10G is
having this beer kuda gra
thing this weekend and everyone's invited.
And I know you can't drink,
but I thought it'd be
really fun with you there.
You came all the way
up here just to tell her that?
What's your problem, dude?
Nothing.
My problem is you following
your grown sister all over the
place.
Screw you Shawn, she's my sister.
If I want to follow her
around all day, I will
as I very well please.
What, you have a problem with that?
Yeah, she's just an adult
and she doesn't need
you lingering over her.
You know what,
if you care so much about what
me and my family are doing,
then pay a freaking bill,
Shawn, how about that?
Okay, Aubree, knock it off.
Who do you think you
are when, where are you get,
what is it with you in this
infatuation of me paying your
sister's bills?
Like you have so much else going on, huh?
Okay, okay, let's just all calm down.
No, Jeff.
Okay Aubree for the last time,
I don't need anybody helping me out.
Nice.
Fuck you.
The Foundry's hiring by the way.
You know, you should go get a job
and take my sister out somewhere
nicer than a freaking park.
(Aubree growls)
(pensive music)
Sky.
(Skylar cries)
What are you doing?
I don't need everybody to
constantly remind me how alone I
am or how helpless I am,
or that George is gone or that
everybody thinks that I can't
raise this baby by myself because I can't.
Hey, come here.
I can't.
No I can't do it.
I can't do it.
It's okay.
It's okay.
(Skylar cries)
Yeah, hi.
I wanted to know is there was
someone I can talk to about
the power at 347 Wichita Lane?
Yeah.
Well we got a pregnant woman
here and she can't really sit
inside the house with
the power off all day.
No, I don't live here.
Why does that matter?
Well, she's not exactly able
to come to the phone right now.
She's a little preoccupied.
Listen, I was basically calling,
are we able to get a, you know,
like some kind of payment
plan or something like that
set up?
Just to get the power back o, yeah.
I see.
(Shawn sighs)
Yeah.
Well, is there any way
you can put it in my name?
(birds chirping)
Okay.
The electric's paid.
You don't have to worry
about it, put it in my name.
You were paying me by letting
me sleep here for the next
30 days.
Better than sleeping in my
truck three nights out of the
week.
That bill was two months behind.
That's what she said.
So you can afford to pay a
bill that's two months behind,
but you sleep in your truck
three nights outta the week?
Yeah, I work sometimes.
Sometimes.
Yeah, sometimes.
So what now?
I'm actually feeling some ice cream.
(indistinct crowd chatter)
(birds chirping)
Okay, here you go pretty lady.
Yeah, right.
I'm as big as a house right now.
A very cute house.
Really?
Yeah, you know, like
those old style colonial homes.
I like those matchbox press boards.
Pieces of the shit the Mexicans
throw together overnight.
You know which one I'm talking about?
You know, you're comparing
me to an old house right now.
I mean, nah, you, you said a house.
So I said a cute house
and you know what I mean?
(car passing)
What?
Nothing.
You know George and
I used to come here a lot
when we first started dating.
Yeah.
It's a pretty cool place.
I remember when it first opened when,
back when we was in high school.
Yeah, I do remember that.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
We used to get so drunk and
then think it was a good idea
to come here for milkshakes and hot dogs
because none of us
knew how to cook and
we were always starving.
Mm, yeah, I remember that.
George threw up right over there.
We were so stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get why he took you here,
so many good memories.
We went on a date here once.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Sophomore year when we tried to see
where things would go.
Yep.
Yeah.
That wasn't really far.
Yeah I was kind of
awkward back in high school.
Yeah, you were.
It wasn't that bad.
We'd been friends for years
and you acted like you met me
the day before.
(car passes by closely)
That's 'cause I had to stop pretending
like I wanted to just be your friend.
(birds chirping)
It's amazing how things in
the sound haven't changed.
Yeah.
You know, everything
just seems to stand still.
What ever happened with you and Lindsay?
No one's ever asked me that.
Really?
She was in her third trimester
and I woke up one day and
saw her laying over there,
you know, pregnant,
make it a house and decided
I didn't wanna be with her.
And I did not wanna
spend the rest of my life
with that person.
She just had so much hate
and anger inside of her and
(train horn blares)
Once I left,
she made it very clear if I
wasn't gonna be a part of her
life, I couldn't be a part of theirs.
What do you mean?
I was there when she gave birth.
I was there during their first steps.
I was there swaddling them, feeding them,
and so much time passe, it's
just the weight of, you know,
her, who she was, was
too much for me to handle,
I just decided, you know,
I couldn't do it anymore.
So I left.
Not what you're expecting?
(Skylar grunts)
What?
Here, gimme your hand.
Oh.
Gimme your hand, come here.
It's weird, right?
(pensive music)
(birds chirping)
I think she likes the ice cream.
I think she's asleep.
Oh, that's all right.
It's okay.
I, it's fascinating, I know.
Yeah.
(car drives by)
(car drives by)
Well, since you're down there.
Please stop here.
(people panting)
Oh, oh, oh.
Isn't that a Skylar
Dawson and Shawn Wade?
Yeah, I think so.
What are they doing here together?
Don't know.
Wow.
Good for them.
Yeah.
You ready?
Yeah.
Did you eat my ice cream?
Well, I'm eating for two,
plus you got chocolate.
I didn't get chocolate.
Well, let's go.
(pensive music)
Cleaning, hauling, digging.
Doesn't matter, I need steady work.
I understand.
Your help is always welcome around here.
Thanks man.
Just try to stick around here longer
than a month this time.
I'm gonna need your help around
here every day here in the
next couple of weeks.
You can count on me.
Hey, I'm serious.
We'll see how serious you
are after working 10 hours
a day, six days a week.
Hey, it's nothing against you son.
It's just hard work is all.
You can count on me.
Okay.
We'll see.
(inspirational music)
(person coughing)
(construction tools ring)
(truck engine revs)
(Shawn grunting)
(crickets chirping)
What are you doing here?
I wanted to give you this.
It's a cake I made for Aubree's.
I just
Oh, thanks Skylar.
(birds chirping)
(car engine revs)
You wanna sit down?
I came to say thank you.
I never said it.
And I thank you for
everything that you've done
in the past couple weeks.
I just, I,
I've been feeling like a person again.
Like I can actually manage things without
So thank you.
Yeah.
Jeez, Skylar I dunno what to say.
(engine revs)
We do have to go to that by the way.
Go to what?
Aubree's anniversary.
God dammit Sky.
(thoughtful music)
(birds chirping)
Actually so good for you,
it's like low calorie,
you know, so refreshing.
When you just like drink it.
So good.
How are you?
I'm so good.
(indistinct party chatter)
Oh my gosh, Skylar.
Ah, is this my cake?
It is.
Strawberry and cream cheese frosting.
Yes.
My favorite, oh my gosh.
Hey Shawn, you look good.
I like your shirt.
Okay, I'm gonna take this and
put it on the tray over there.
Drinks are over here.
Not for you Little Miss Prego.
And by the way, Julia's here.
Julia!
Hi Skylar!
Oh my gosh, look at you.
You're whole mom now.
Yeah, oh my God, it's been so long.
Yeah, it's been forever.
I just flew in from Anchorage.
Oh, for Jeff and Aubree's anniversary?
Yes, of course.
Okay.
Shawn, this is Aubree's
friend from college, Julia.
Aubree went to college?
(Shawn laughs)
What's, what did she study?
I think it was African American study.
You're shitting me.
(Shawn laughs)
You can see why I think
that's funny, come on.
African American studies.
So how's motherhood treating you?
I'm so sorry to hear about George.
Oh thank you.
Motherhood is, it's fine.
I mean, I can't tie my shoes,
but that's just the worst thing.
And I've got Shawn for that now anyway.
Ha, do you now?
And how do you two know each other?
Well,
we went to the same school
and grew up together as kids.
Mia, her, Georgie and John, John.
Oh, right.
So, yeah.
So you two have known
each other your entire lives.
Yeah.
And here you are together
today after spending already a
lifetime with each other.
Yeah, you know, it's pretty
good way pass time, you know?
Yeah, I mean, we're just friends.
Oh, I see.
So you two are actually just friends then?
Yeah, we're just friends.
Oh, excuse me.
(modern upbeat music)
Come on.
Like here in Ohio I could
(indistinct party chatter)
Whoa, hey.
Shawn.
Lindsay.
Hi.
Okay, I guess I'll start.
How are things with you?
Things are good.
Things are really good.
Yeah, okay.
So I heard that you moved
in with George's girlfriend.
What are you seeing each other now?
And like I said, things are good.
So I guess you wanna know how I'm doing?
At least.
Okay, Lindsay.
Yeah.
How are you doing?
You mean, me and our two kids?
How are me and the two kids that you walked
out on doing?
Why are you doing this now?
What do you want?
Why now?
Why are you doing this now?
Why now?
Why are you doing this now?
That's rich coming from you.
Okay, alright.
Look, you know what,
you had three years, okay?
To bring this up and pour this out on me.
Why are you laying all this
out on me right now at this?
What do you want from me?
What do I want from you?
I'll tell you what I want from you,
you selfish, sorry, son of a bitch.
I don't want you to be happy, okay?
I don't want you to be happy.
Skylar, hey.
Hey.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
Well, you kind of walked away
and I was hoping to spend all of my
time with you tonight.
Right, yeah,
'cause it wouldn't be the
worst way to spend my time.
Hey, look, I'm sorry.
All right, look, I know I
acted like an ass back there.
I was talking with my foot in my mouth.
I didn't know what to say.
So you said that?
(indistinct party chatter)
I just, I didn't know.
Okay, I didn't know.
No, I get it, Shawn.
You wanna focus on yourself right now.
You just wanna worry about
yourself and nobody else.
That's fine, all right.
Don't worry about me then.
I get it.
That's not true.
I do want to worry about, I,
for the past few weeks,
you were literally all that I think about.
And I want you to know
how I feel, why I'm here.
And I want you to understand that
I care about you a lot.
I wish they had the cab office still.
Everybody does.
I want you to know just
how much I actually care
about you.
I want all of my time tonight
to be spent with you, Sky.
That's so good.
What's going on over here?
Nothing, just enjoying
your great party, Aubree.
Was that sarcasm?
Because I don't need
lip from someone like you.
Someone like me?
Shawn, just leave it.
No, it's okay.
Just gonna get some of this cake.
Whoa, no one gets cake.
No cake for you.
No cake until Aubree gets the cake.
Oh, didn't she tell
you, I already had some.
Is that why there's a taste missing?
Yeah, see, Skylar,
let me be the official
taste tester before we came
here today.
You gave him a piece of my cake
before you gave it to me?
I didn't know it was gonna
be like a big deal or anything.
A comedian.
Okay
(women scream)
Hey, so you guys headed home?
Yeah.
Great.
So I wasn't totally
forthcoming with you earlier.
I left Anchorage because, well,
Danny and I are kind of getting
a divorce and he already
moved his new girlfriend in
and I just needed a place
to stay until I can get back on my feet,
just until next week,
until I move into my new apartment.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, we'd, we would love to have you.
Are you sure, I don't wanna be a burden,
but Aubree said it would be okay with you.
Of course.
Of course it would.
Yeah, let's go.
You riding with us?
Great.
(door opens)
Hey, Julia's going to take the couch.
It just, it felt weird
having her on the floor,
if that's okay.
Yeah, I mean, I can
sleep in my truck if you want.
No, no, I, no, you can.
You can sleep up upstairs if you'd like.
You mean like in the guest room or?
Yeah, yeah guest room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, guest room.
Okay, I can do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
(doorbell rings)
(door opens)
John, hey, what's going on man?
What's up man?
What's going on fellas?
How y'all doing?
We're all heading over to Clancy's
for Tangie's beer, Coup
de Gras thing, let's go.
You should go.
Are you sure?
I mean, don't you need help getting Julia?
No, I'm good.
What's all the hesitation?
Put your shoes on muthafucka, let's go.
Fuck it, all right.
(door opens)
(door closes)
(Skylar sighs)
(crickets chirping)
(upbeat band music)
I heard you got a job working
down at the dog do Mac.
Yeah, Mac's a cool dude.
It's a cool job.
Make sure the kids don't kill each other.
Capsize, that kind of thing.
I got you, I'm glad to hear he hired you.
Yeah.
I'm surprised they don't have
you working on super car V8
motors or some shit for NASCAR, man.
Only thing I'll test is that truck.
Yeah and you rebuilt that truck
I don't know how many times man.
Yeah.
You know, it makes sense though.
It's pretty close, real talk.
Pretty close to what?
Skylar's.
What do you mean, John John?
Shit man, she's a good girl.
And you're all up in her
head right now in that whole
roller coaster of emotions and
that comes with being pregnant
and not to mention Georgie
dying all of five minutes ago.
Come on man.
Look, I might not be
(car passes)
Dad of the year or,
fucking might not steal
from a job like some people,
or have kids on the other
side of town that my wife
doesn't fucking know about.
At least I'm not(motorcycle engine revs)
You know, let's try and
have a good time tonight.
Alright.
Hey John John,
maybe I might marry her.
(engine revs out)
Ooh, what about this one?
Ooh, this could be cute, right?
No, all right.
Okay, what about this one?
Julia, I will look
like a pumpkin in that.
Oh, I got it.
This is the one.
Oh.
Super cute, right?
Lemme see.
This could be cute.
It's subtle, but sends a strong message.
(indistinct bar chatter)
(upbeat modern music)
You.
Skylar, what are you doing here?
In a bar?
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
You want to?
Yeah, sure.
(slow upbeat romantic music)
Hey Shawn,
Skylar how you been?
I'm all right, how have you been?
I'm doing pretty good.
Yeah.
We're just keeping me pretty busy.
Same, yeah.
I get it.
I mean, it's just stressful, but honestly,
I fucking love it.
I'm having a good time.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
I'm hoping I get like
(music drowns out dialogue).
I mean, that would be great.
Yeah, how are you feeling?
I mean, well, yeah
I mean, you're probably
as good as it gets.
I, yeah, kind of.
No, I'm, I'm feeling good, honestly.
Been happy.
You wanna dance?
Yes.
(upbeat rock music)
Over here?
Okay.
(Skylar laughs)
Oh no, I don't know how to say it.
You look beautiful.
You already said that.
It's all I can think to say.
Sky.
(music drowns out audio)
(music drowns out audio)
(pensive music)
(upbeat funky music)
How are you holding up?
I mean, how am I holding up.
The rents due.
I think they might shut
the power off today.
Which is fine,
considering that I just
mostly stare up at the ceiling
contemplating how I'm going to
spend the next 18 years of my
life.
I don't know.
My feet are hurting constantly.
I can't even bend down to tie my shoe,
and I go to bed terrified every night.
It just all feels like a bad dream,
and I feel like I'm gonna
wake up and Georgia's gonna be
there.
I just,
(wind rustles)
Not to mention that he
left with no life insurance,
no money saved up,
and
I don't know, I guess you could say that
I'm not so hot right now.
Listen, you are a strong, capable woman.
You're gonna be a great mom.
As for the electric bill,
Jeff actually already
took care of it this month.
Okay?
But that being said,
we need to talk about
how you're gonna take care
of yourself.
Skylar, you know, I will
always be there for you,
but Jeff and I we're
spread as thin as it is.
I know I don't expect a lot.
And you know, dad's always been there, so.
Dad lost his job, Skylar.
What?
He was laid off about two months ago.
We were gonna tell you,
but we didn't want to bother
you with baby and George losing
his job
He was t-boned into a
tree and crushed to death.
Yeah.
You can get a job?
Skylar, unless you've got a man ready
to walk through that door
in the next five minutes
and sweep you and your
unborn child off your feet,
I suggest you consider your options.
What is that?
It's just a formality really.
Kip said you could start today or tomorrow,
but sooner rather than later.
So this is why you came out here?
Not because you care, but
because you want your poor,
widowed sister to find a job
so she doesn't have to ask for
money?
You're not widowed, Skylar,
you and George were never married,
which is why you're in this
situation in the first place.
Skylar, Skylar, would you please stop?
I'm trying to talk to you.
What?
Audrey, the last thing I'm
worried about is having a job.
Well, you've gotta do something
or you're gonna be out
on your ass in a few months
with nowhere to go.
I don't care.
Okay, I don't care what you think
and I do not need your help.
What are you gonna do then?
You know what, don't worry about.
It's not your problem.
And I don't need anybody's help.
(somber music)
Hey, Sky.
Sky.
Oh, she' pissed.
So what are you and Jeff gonna do?
I don't know.
She won't talk to us or
take help from anyone.
Well, how's everything else going?
Don't be an idiot, Matt.
My sister's fiance just died.
All right, sorry.
So what's the deal with Shawn anyway?
Well, he's lost his job today.
Again?
Yep.
Again.
I swear, it's like he's
not even trying anymore.
You got him that job, didn't you?
Yeah, I did.
Wait, why?
(birds chirping)
Whoa.
What you doing out here?
Did I scare you?
Yeah.
What's, what you doing?
I heard you have a lot of
time on your hands these days.
Yeah, I lost my job, again.
I came to ask you a favor.
Favor, huh?
What kind of favor?
Well, first I need to
know you're gonna say yes.
You need to know, I'm gonna say yeah.
How am I supposed to
say yes, if you don't tell me
what kind of favor it is?
Does it really matter?
Name it.
I want you to look
after my sister for a while.
Oh, come on.
No, don't do this to me.
What?
What can't you do?
Oh, come on now.
Why you bringing that over here?
What can't you do for
your dead best friend's wife?
Why are you bringing this?
Why are you putting this on me, huh?
The very people who you depend
on in your hour of need who
have always been there to help you?
What the fuck, Shawn?
Look, don't you think it's
hard enough for me as it is?
We've been friends since
we were kids, all right?
George just died like
Easy for you?
Do you think this is easy for her?
Stop being such a coward, Shawn.
What am I supposed to do?
Am I supposed to tie her
shoes for her, rub her back,
make her dinner, take the trash out?
Like, what do you want me to do?
Yes, all of it, it couldn't hurt, right?
Maybe pick up a check
every once in a while.
Pay a freaking bill.
You know her rent is due
at the first of the month.
Get a job, huh?
Oh, it's, and it's, now, it's my problem.
You know what?
Look, you have always
depended on our family.
Everyone around you has done
something for you, Shawn.
And I'm not just talking
about me or George or Jeff
or Skylar.
You owe everyone something.
I owe everyone something, huh?
Yeah, you do.
When you came over here, you
know, asking me for a favor,
I figured it'd be the same
kinda one you, you know,
do for Matt, but(Shawn laughs)
Fuck you.
You know, I will not be
judged by someone like you.
Someone like me?
And yeah, Jeff and I,
our marriage isn't perfect,
but at least we freaking try.
That's what you call trying,
begging your husband's best friend?
Yeah, that's, yeah.
Try and do something.
Yeah, well, it's a lot
better than what you did.
You freaking deadbeat.
You're Mr. High and Mighty over here,
taking the moral high ground, over me?
You haven't spoken to those kids in years.
Oh, it's nice to see
you and Lindsay still talk.
Just gonna throw that
in my face, that's cool.
You're a loser, Shawn.
An opportunity to do something
like this for your best
friend's wife is the best thing
someone like you could ever
hope for.
She's a good woman, and she needs help.
She needs your help.
You've got nothing else
going on and all the time
in the world.
You know this might be the last chance
you get in life to do something
that actually matters.
(birds chirping)
(Shawn yelps)
(pensive music)
(sentimental music)
(wood creaking)
(crickets chirping)
Shawn - Skylar.
Hey, I was in the neighborhood.
I figured I'd stop by and
see how you were doing.
Listen,
I want to talk to you about something,
you think we could, you know, go inside?
Fine.
(bowls clanking)
(drink pouring)
All right, Shawn, what'd
you wanna talk about?
Well, first off an apology.
I'm sorry I haven't been
here the past few weeks doing
something for you.
Who said I needed you here?
Nobody.
And no one should have
to tell me that one of my best
friends who's going
through a difficult time,
that I need to come and see
how she's doing and you know,
if there's anything that
I can do for her and
Right, so you've been talking to Aubree?
Yeah, I've been talking to Aubree.
So what?
What, you gonna shut out all the people
who care about you, Sky?
You've got people here who care about you,
who really wanna do something for you.
I wanna do something
for you, I care about you.
And I'm sorry that I haven't been here.
Skylar.
Come on, talk to me.
Listen, I'm here now
and I want to be here now,
and I want to do something for you, Skylar.
Please,
tell me what I can do.
I don't know, I don't know what I want.
I don't know what everybody wants from me.
I don't know.
But I know that I am here
now and I care about you Sky,
and I want to do something for you.
Please.
Come on, just name it
anything that you want
and I'll make it happen.
Or somewhat.
This
What, this?
It's just.
It's just supposed to go upstairs?
Ain't got no business
carrying this anyways.
I can do this all day.
(stairs creak)
It's just, over here.
You... You can just drop it there.
You want me to put him in the thing?
No, I'll get to it.
There's just
What?
Oh, a spider?
Why didn't you kill it?
I'm not a big fan.
Okay.
I don't wanna touch it with my man hands.
It's kind big, it's got
a little bit of air to it.
Are you kidding me?
Jesus Shawn.
(Shawn laughs)
(calming music)
Alright, all taken care of for you.
(wood creaking)
Hey.
Hey.
It's getting kind of late, so
I'm probably gonna head out.
Yeah.
Did you need anything before I go?
No.
Okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Okay.
(crickets chirping)
(pensive music)
(door opens)
Hey, so I can't get my truck started,
so, you know, I figured
I'd crash here for the night,
if that's alright with you.
Oh yeah.
I ain't gonna be able to
see anything up underneath
the hood and, you know.
Yeah, yeah.
No, yeah.
No, yeah, right, yeah, of course.
Of course you can.
I can sleep on the floor if
you're gonna take the couch.
Oh, no, I am, I can sleep upstairs.
I just, the TV, but
Okay.
Okay.
Goodnight, Shawn.
Goodnight.
(moody music)
(train horn blares)
(Skylar clears throat)
(Skylar clears throat)
Oh, morning, Sky.
What are you doing so early?
It's 8:00 AM.
Oh.
8:00 AM?
Look, Shawn, I appreciate
you staying last night,
but I really don't need
anybody to watch over me.
No, I told you I couldn't
get my truck started.
I told you I couldn't get it started.
I'd check it out in the morning.
Right, well, I have to get ready.
Where are you going?
Out.
Is that okay with you?
Yeah, no, I was, I was just asking.
Kayaking.
Kayaking?
Yeah, is that a problem?
No, no.
I'm, I'll go with you.
What?
What's wrong with two old
friends going kayaking together?
You know, as memory serves me correct,
you and me used to be
closer back in the day,
a lot closer than you and Georgie were.
Come on, Sky.
Just let me go to the
park with you, go kayaking.
You need someone to carry the
kayak for you and I can make
sure that you don't capsize
while you're out there.
Plus I hear the waters get
pretty rough this time of year.
I'll take that as a very reluctant yes.
Hey, is there any of that coffee left?
No.
Of course not.
Why would there be?
(birds chirping)
(water flowing)
(water sloshing)
Sorry, how bad?
You remember we used to
come up here a long time ago?
Yeah.
You'd steal your dad's truck
while he was working over at the foundry.
And you pick us all up
behind the bowling alley.
We load them coolers up and we
just blast down the roadway.
Oh God.
He would come outta work,
his truck wouldn't be there.
Oh my God, he'd be so pissed.
He was hot.
He'd kill me.
Yeah, your dad was not happy.
I remember that.
You used to get me in so much trouble.
I got you in trouble.
Yeah.
Nah.
Oh yeah.
You stole the truck.
Because you wanted me to.
Man, well, you know
Steal your dad's
truck, it's a good truck.
It'll fit our kayaks.
We were wild.
Yeah, I don't even understand why,
you know, I got the shit stick for it.
It was, you took the truck.
It was your dad.
Georgie and John's like yo.
Oh wow, man.
Yeah.
Earl was a trip though.
Yeah. I miss him.
Yeah, me too.
Are you kidding me?
Oh!
(people laughing)
Well, you got me wazing!
Stop, stop.
(water splashes)
Oh my God, are you okay?
(Skylar laughs)
You're all right?
Yeah, I think I'll live.
I'm okay.
Yeah, serves you right.
See ya.
Oh, what are you gonna leave me out here?
Imma tip you over.
(Skylar laughs)
(Shawn laughs)
Whoa, Jeff, what you doing
all the way out here without Aubree?
Whoops, spoke too soon.
What are you guys doing out here?
Kayaking, obviously, like you guys.
Really?
Where's your kayak?
So, Skylar 10G is
having this beer kuda gra
thing this weekend and everyone's invited.
And I know you can't drink,
but I thought it'd be
really fun with you there.
You came all the way
up here just to tell her that?
What's your problem, dude?
Nothing.
My problem is you following
your grown sister all over the
place.
Screw you Shawn, she's my sister.
If I want to follow her
around all day, I will
as I very well please.
What, you have a problem with that?
Yeah, she's just an adult
and she doesn't need
you lingering over her.
You know what,
if you care so much about what
me and my family are doing,
then pay a freaking bill,
Shawn, how about that?
Okay, Aubree, knock it off.
Who do you think you
are when, where are you get,
what is it with you in this
infatuation of me paying your
sister's bills?
Like you have so much else going on, huh?
Okay, okay, let's just all calm down.
No, Jeff.
Okay Aubree for the last time,
I don't need anybody helping me out.
Nice.
Fuck you.
The Foundry's hiring by the way.
You know, you should go get a job
and take my sister out somewhere
nicer than a freaking park.
(Aubree growls)
(pensive music)
Sky.
(Skylar cries)
What are you doing?
I don't need everybody to
constantly remind me how alone I
am or how helpless I am,
or that George is gone or that
everybody thinks that I can't
raise this baby by myself because I can't.
Hey, come here.
I can't.
No I can't do it.
I can't do it.
It's okay.
It's okay.
(Skylar cries)
Yeah, hi.
I wanted to know is there was
someone I can talk to about
the power at 347 Wichita Lane?
Yeah.
Well we got a pregnant woman
here and she can't really sit
inside the house with
the power off all day.
No, I don't live here.
Why does that matter?
Well, she's not exactly able
to come to the phone right now.
She's a little preoccupied.
Listen, I was basically calling,
are we able to get a, you know,
like some kind of payment
plan or something like that
set up?
Just to get the power back o, yeah.
I see.
(Shawn sighs)
Yeah.
Well, is there any way
you can put it in my name?
(birds chirping)
Okay.
The electric's paid.
You don't have to worry
about it, put it in my name.
You were paying me by letting
me sleep here for the next
30 days.
Better than sleeping in my
truck three nights out of the
week.
That bill was two months behind.
That's what she said.
So you can afford to pay a
bill that's two months behind,
but you sleep in your truck
three nights outta the week?
Yeah, I work sometimes.
Sometimes.
Yeah, sometimes.
So what now?
I'm actually feeling some ice cream.
(indistinct crowd chatter)
(birds chirping)
Okay, here you go pretty lady.
Yeah, right.
I'm as big as a house right now.
A very cute house.
Really?
Yeah, you know, like
those old style colonial homes.
I like those matchbox press boards.
Pieces of the shit the Mexicans
throw together overnight.
You know which one I'm talking about?
You know, you're comparing
me to an old house right now.
I mean, nah, you, you said a house.
So I said a cute house
and you know what I mean?
(car passing)
What?
Nothing.
You know George and
I used to come here a lot
when we first started dating.
Yeah.
It's a pretty cool place.
I remember when it first opened when,
back when we was in high school.
Yeah, I do remember that.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
We used to get so drunk and
then think it was a good idea
to come here for milkshakes and hot dogs
because none of us
knew how to cook and
we were always starving.
Mm, yeah, I remember that.
George threw up right over there.
We were so stupid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get why he took you here,
so many good memories.
We went on a date here once.
Yeah.
I remember that.
Sophomore year when we tried to see
where things would go.
Yep.
Yeah.
That wasn't really far.
Yeah I was kind of
awkward back in high school.
Yeah, you were.
It wasn't that bad.
We'd been friends for years
and you acted like you met me
the day before.
(car passes by closely)
That's 'cause I had to stop pretending
like I wanted to just be your friend.
(birds chirping)
It's amazing how things in
the sound haven't changed.
Yeah.
You know, everything
just seems to stand still.
What ever happened with you and Lindsay?
No one's ever asked me that.
Really?
She was in her third trimester
and I woke up one day and
saw her laying over there,
you know, pregnant,
make it a house and decided
I didn't wanna be with her.
And I did not wanna
spend the rest of my life
with that person.
She just had so much hate
and anger inside of her and
(train horn blares)
Once I left,
she made it very clear if I
wasn't gonna be a part of her
life, I couldn't be a part of theirs.
What do you mean?
I was there when she gave birth.
I was there during their first steps.
I was there swaddling them, feeding them,
and so much time passe, it's
just the weight of, you know,
her, who she was, was
too much for me to handle,
I just decided, you know,
I couldn't do it anymore.
So I left.
Not what you're expecting?
(Skylar grunts)
What?
Here, gimme your hand.
Oh.
Gimme your hand, come here.
It's weird, right?
(pensive music)
(birds chirping)
I think she likes the ice cream.
I think she's asleep.
Oh, that's all right.
It's okay.
I, it's fascinating, I know.
Yeah.
(car drives by)
(car drives by)
Well, since you're down there.
Please stop here.
(people panting)
Oh, oh, oh.
Isn't that a Skylar
Dawson and Shawn Wade?
Yeah, I think so.
What are they doing here together?
Don't know.
Wow.
Good for them.
Yeah.
You ready?
Yeah.
Did you eat my ice cream?
Well, I'm eating for two,
plus you got chocolate.
I didn't get chocolate.
Well, let's go.
(pensive music)
Cleaning, hauling, digging.
Doesn't matter, I need steady work.
I understand.
Your help is always welcome around here.
Thanks man.
Just try to stick around here longer
than a month this time.
I'm gonna need your help around
here every day here in the
next couple of weeks.
You can count on me.
Hey, I'm serious.
We'll see how serious you
are after working 10 hours
a day, six days a week.
Hey, it's nothing against you son.
It's just hard work is all.
You can count on me.
Okay.
We'll see.
(inspirational music)
(person coughing)
(construction tools ring)
(truck engine revs)
(Shawn grunting)
(crickets chirping)
What are you doing here?
I wanted to give you this.
It's a cake I made for Aubree's.
I just
Oh, thanks Skylar.
(birds chirping)
(car engine revs)
You wanna sit down?
I came to say thank you.
I never said it.
And I thank you for
everything that you've done
in the past couple weeks.
I just, I,
I've been feeling like a person again.
Like I can actually manage things without
So thank you.
Yeah.
Jeez, Skylar I dunno what to say.
(engine revs)
We do have to go to that by the way.
Go to what?
Aubree's anniversary.
God dammit Sky.
(thoughtful music)
(birds chirping)
Actually so good for you,
it's like low calorie,
you know, so refreshing.
When you just like drink it.
So good.
How are you?
I'm so good.
(indistinct party chatter)
Oh my gosh, Skylar.
Ah, is this my cake?
It is.
Strawberry and cream cheese frosting.
Yes.
My favorite, oh my gosh.
Hey Shawn, you look good.
I like your shirt.
Okay, I'm gonna take this and
put it on the tray over there.
Drinks are over here.
Not for you Little Miss Prego.
And by the way, Julia's here.
Julia!
Hi Skylar!
Oh my gosh, look at you.
You're whole mom now.
Yeah, oh my God, it's been so long.
Yeah, it's been forever.
I just flew in from Anchorage.
Oh, for Jeff and Aubree's anniversary?
Yes, of course.
Okay.
Shawn, this is Aubree's
friend from college, Julia.
Aubree went to college?
(Shawn laughs)
What's, what did she study?
I think it was African American study.
You're shitting me.
(Shawn laughs)
You can see why I think
that's funny, come on.
African American studies.
So how's motherhood treating you?
I'm so sorry to hear about George.
Oh thank you.
Motherhood is, it's fine.
I mean, I can't tie my shoes,
but that's just the worst thing.
And I've got Shawn for that now anyway.
Ha, do you now?
And how do you two know each other?
Well,
we went to the same school
and grew up together as kids.
Mia, her, Georgie and John, John.
Oh, right.
So, yeah.
So you two have known
each other your entire lives.
Yeah.
And here you are together
today after spending already a
lifetime with each other.
Yeah, you know, it's pretty
good way pass time, you know?
Yeah, I mean, we're just friends.
Oh, I see.
So you two are actually just friends then?
Yeah, we're just friends.
Oh, excuse me.
(modern upbeat music)
Come on.
Like here in Ohio I could
(indistinct party chatter)
Whoa, hey.
Shawn.
Lindsay.
Hi.
Okay, I guess I'll start.
How are things with you?
Things are good.
Things are really good.
Yeah, okay.
So I heard that you moved
in with George's girlfriend.
What are you seeing each other now?
And like I said, things are good.
So I guess you wanna know how I'm doing?
At least.
Okay, Lindsay.
Yeah.
How are you doing?
You mean, me and our two kids?
How are me and the two kids that you walked
out on doing?
Why are you doing this now?
What do you want?
Why now?
Why are you doing this now?
Why now?
Why are you doing this now?
That's rich coming from you.
Okay, alright.
Look, you know what,
you had three years, okay?
To bring this up and pour this out on me.
Why are you laying all this
out on me right now at this?
What do you want from me?
What do I want from you?
I'll tell you what I want from you,
you selfish, sorry, son of a bitch.
I don't want you to be happy, okay?
I don't want you to be happy.
Skylar, hey.
Hey.
Is everything all right?
Yeah, why wouldn't it be?
Well, you kind of walked away
and I was hoping to spend all of my
time with you tonight.
Right, yeah,
'cause it wouldn't be the
worst way to spend my time.
Hey, look, I'm sorry.
All right, look, I know I
acted like an ass back there.
I was talking with my foot in my mouth.
I didn't know what to say.
So you said that?
(indistinct party chatter)
I just, I didn't know.
Okay, I didn't know.
No, I get it, Shawn.
You wanna focus on yourself right now.
You just wanna worry about
yourself and nobody else.
That's fine, all right.
Don't worry about me then.
I get it.
That's not true.
I do want to worry about, I,
for the past few weeks,
you were literally all that I think about.
And I want you to know
how I feel, why I'm here.
And I want you to understand that
I care about you a lot.
I wish they had the cab office still.
Everybody does.
I want you to know just
how much I actually care
about you.
I want all of my time tonight
to be spent with you, Sky.
That's so good.
What's going on over here?
Nothing, just enjoying
your great party, Aubree.
Was that sarcasm?
Because I don't need
lip from someone like you.
Someone like me?
Shawn, just leave it.
No, it's okay.
Just gonna get some of this cake.
Whoa, no one gets cake.
No cake for you.
No cake until Aubree gets the cake.
Oh, didn't she tell
you, I already had some.
Is that why there's a taste missing?
Yeah, see, Skylar,
let me be the official
taste tester before we came
here today.
You gave him a piece of my cake
before you gave it to me?
I didn't know it was gonna
be like a big deal or anything.
A comedian.
Okay
(women scream)
Hey, so you guys headed home?
Yeah.
Great.
So I wasn't totally
forthcoming with you earlier.
I left Anchorage because, well,
Danny and I are kind of getting
a divorce and he already
moved his new girlfriend in
and I just needed a place
to stay until I can get back on my feet,
just until next week,
until I move into my new apartment.
Yeah, of course.
I mean, we'd, we would love to have you.
Are you sure, I don't wanna be a burden,
but Aubree said it would be okay with you.
Of course.
Of course it would.
Yeah, let's go.
You riding with us?
Great.
(door opens)
Hey, Julia's going to take the couch.
It just, it felt weird
having her on the floor,
if that's okay.
Yeah, I mean, I can
sleep in my truck if you want.
No, no, I, no, you can.
You can sleep up upstairs if you'd like.
You mean like in the guest room or?
Yeah, yeah guest room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, guest room.
Okay, I can do that.
Yeah.
Okay.
(doorbell rings)
(door opens)
John, hey, what's going on man?
What's up man?
What's going on fellas?
How y'all doing?
We're all heading over to Clancy's
for Tangie's beer, Coup
de Gras thing, let's go.
You should go.
Are you sure?
I mean, don't you need help getting Julia?
No, I'm good.
What's all the hesitation?
Put your shoes on muthafucka, let's go.
Fuck it, all right.
(door opens)
(door closes)
(Skylar sighs)
(crickets chirping)
(upbeat band music)
I heard you got a job working
down at the dog do Mac.
Yeah, Mac's a cool dude.
It's a cool job.
Make sure the kids don't kill each other.
Capsize, that kind of thing.
I got you, I'm glad to hear he hired you.
Yeah.
I'm surprised they don't have
you working on super car V8
motors or some shit for NASCAR, man.
Only thing I'll test is that truck.
Yeah and you rebuilt that truck
I don't know how many times man.
Yeah.
You know, it makes sense though.
It's pretty close, real talk.
Pretty close to what?
Skylar's.
What do you mean, John John?
Shit man, she's a good girl.
And you're all up in her
head right now in that whole
roller coaster of emotions and
that comes with being pregnant
and not to mention Georgie
dying all of five minutes ago.
Come on man.
Look, I might not be
(car passes)
Dad of the year or,
fucking might not steal
from a job like some people,
or have kids on the other
side of town that my wife
doesn't fucking know about.
At least I'm not(motorcycle engine revs)
You know, let's try and
have a good time tonight.
Alright.
Hey John John,
maybe I might marry her.
(engine revs out)
Ooh, what about this one?
Ooh, this could be cute, right?
No, all right.
Okay, what about this one?
Julia, I will look
like a pumpkin in that.
Oh, I got it.
This is the one.
Oh.
Super cute, right?
Lemme see.
This could be cute.
It's subtle, but sends a strong message.
(indistinct bar chatter)
(upbeat modern music)
You.
Skylar, what are you doing here?
In a bar?
You look beautiful.
Thank you.
You want to?
Yeah, sure.
(slow upbeat romantic music)
Hey Shawn,
Skylar how you been?
I'm all right, how have you been?
I'm doing pretty good.
Yeah.
We're just keeping me pretty busy.
Same, yeah.
I get it.
I mean, it's just stressful, but honestly,
I fucking love it.
I'm having a good time.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
I'm hoping I get like
(music drowns out dialogue).
I mean, that would be great.
Yeah, how are you feeling?
I mean, well, yeah
I mean, you're probably
as good as it gets.
I, yeah, kind of.
No, I'm, I'm feeling good, honestly.
Been happy.
You wanna dance?
Yes.
(upbeat rock music)
Over here?
Okay.
(Skylar laughs)
Oh no, I don't know how to say it.
You look beautiful.
You already said that.
It's all I can think to say.
Sky.
