(SO GOOD BY B.O.B

My senorita
We ain't gotta rush
Just take it slow
You'll be in the high life
Soaking up the sunlight
So I'm thinking rustic, very,
with Tudor-style steeples
and a stone chimney
right in the middle.
Yeah, totally.
Like a witch's house.
Where are you going to put
your broomstick collection?
How about the cage that
you're gonna be sleeping in,
'cause you won't
be sleeping with me.
(LAUGHS)
-Oh.
-What?
Three hundred more miles
to Portland.
I'm gonna need to eat
before then.
-Make it so.
-All right.

MAYA: I'll bet the people
who live here
are really happy.
Hey, do you know
what today is?
Today is the third day
of our three-day road trip
across the country.
Or our five-year anniversary.
Anniversary? I just picked
you up in Chicago.
Best 16 hours of your life.
RYAN: (CHUCKLES) I love you.
-(HORN BLARING)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
MAYA: Ally shows our funds
came through.
RYAN: Where even
are we right now?
Oh, shit, no signal.
-Okay.
-Keep driving,
maybe it'll pick up.
RYAN: We are actually
in the middle of nowhere.
Now I know what it looks like.
We might just die
of starvation.

She was on her way
to interview for a top
Portland architectural firm
when her GPS failed.
(IMITATES REPORTER)
She is however survived
-by her boyfriend, Ryan...
-What? No.
Yes. Sorry, babe,
I had to eat your remains.
MAYA: Ah! Civilization.
Venus, Oregon.
Population: 468.
-What a cool little town.
-Yeah, I'm starving.
I could eat
a whole fucking cow.

-Just Debbie and Howard.
So cute.
Are you having FOMO
about missing Howard's
kiss-my-ass
birthday extravaganza?
Well, it is a kiss-my-ass
birthday extravaganza
in Greece,
so yes.
Why be in Greece
when you can be in Venus?
(CHUCKLES)
Hi, y'all. My name's Shelly.
Soup is beef chili.
Pies are huckleberry
and apple.
Can I get you
something to drink?
Can we start off
with two iced teas?
And do you have any
vegetarian recommendations?
Annie?
Got a vegetarian here.
I like the Carol's Salad,
hold the bacon.
Um, that sounds great.
Yeah, actually, can we get
the bacon and extra cheese
and put that
on a turkey melt for me?
SHELLY: You got it.
RYAN: Great. Thanks.
Could you eat
any less healthy?
It's my anniversary.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
Oh my God,
it's their anniversary.
Ours too, almost.
Two years.
Eden. Neil.
Hey.
I'm Maya and this is Ryan.
And how long
you guys been married?
-(BOTH LAUGH)
-We're not. We're not married.
We've just been dating
for five years.
CAROL: Five years
and you ain't put a ring
on her finger?
What the hell
are you waiting for?
Well, right now, I'm just
waiting on my turkey melt.
Tough crowd, right?
(MAYA SIGHS SOFTLY)
-(EGG SHELL CRACKS)
-(SIZZLING)
Anything else?
Got it.
Yeah, um,
we could use some directions
to the highway.
CAROL: On the back.
He was some
big corporate finance guy.
Passed through.
Ate here, actually,
and then totally disappeared.
Hope he didn't
have the turkey melt.
-(BOTH CHUCKLE)
-He did.
MAYA: Okay.

-RYAN: Shit.
(TAPPING ON WINDOW)
Car trouble?
Yeah.
I'm Rudy.
That's my garage.
Yeah, your alternator's shot.
You need a new one.
RYAN: How long will that take?
We gotta pick up the part
from the dealer
over in Eugene.
Is that something you could
maybe do tonight?
Tonight?
RUDY: They're already closed.
I can send Dougie
first thing in the morning.
Install it in the afternoon.
So we'd have to spend
the night?
Is there anywhere
to stay close by?
Well, motel's closed
for repairs,
but there's one of them
Internet houses.
He means an Airbnb.
There's an older guy,
Joe Gressis.
He rents it out sometimes.
Except during hunting season.
Yeah, Joe likes to hunt.
He's there
from August to December.
But he keeps it pretty nice.
-Okay.
-No, no.
This is a scam.
I saw you watching us.
Will you excuse us
for one second, please?
Ryan, what's wrong with you?
These people
aren't scamming us.
You just think
this is a coincidence?
The mechanic watched us
going into the diner
and then suddenly
he's fixing our car
that wasn't even broken.
We literally almost
got into a car wreck,
like, an hour ago.
Something might have
gotten messed up, okay?
Please stop being paranoid.
Please stop being naive.
You know what, Rudy?
That sounds great.
We appreciate it. Thanks.
Dougie'll tow your car
to the garage,
then I guess
he can drive you two.
I'm off in, like, 10 minutes.
I can drive you.
I live out that way.
That's so kind of you.
Thank you.
Yeah. Good tippers,
good karma, right?
RYAN: (SOFTLY) What?
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
-Hi.
-RYAN: Hi.
The Lord will set you free.
Are you sinners?
Aren't we all?

We really appreciate it,

MAYA: Thank you.
-Bye.

Let's go
I actually like this so much
better than a hotel.
What do you think,
you negative Nancy?
Let's check it out.
(STUCK IN A MOMENT ENDS)
(INSECTS TRILLING)
Hey. Wanna have a little fun?
RYAN: Shit.
Fridge is out.
MAYA: Wow!
Would you look at that?
-What?
-A number to call
if there's any problems.
Get 'em while they're cold.
(CLUCKING)
This is Maya Lucas.
I am renting your beautiful
property, and...
you know, thank you
for the short notice.
I'm actually calling because
your refrigerator is broken,
and hoping that you could
maybe send someone to fix it.
We'll be here all night
and this is a great number
to reach me at.
Thank you.
(CLOCK TICKING)
MAYA: Do you hear that?
Hear what?
The silence.
No car horns,
no 5:00 a.m. garbage truck,
no crazy person
yelling at 2:00 a.m.
Yeah, that's 'cause
there's nothing
within five miles of this place.
But it's nice, right?
Yeah.
It is.
So, isn't this the best
five-year anniversary
you've had?
You know, I would say
it is one of the best.
(BOTH LAUGH)
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking about how
that greasy motherfucker Rudy
better have my car
in by tomorrow.
Wow, I am so turned on
right now.
-Oh, yeah?
-Mm.
Prove it.
To be clear,
I may be kissing you,
but I'm thinking of Rudy.
Oh, fuck off.

(SOFTLY) Well, it is now.
MAYA: This house kinda
reminds me of that place
we stayed near Woodstock.
RYAN: Rondout Valley?
That was more glamping
than it was camping.
MAYA: You know, I...
(MAYA EXHALES)
I thought...
What?
Do you remember that hike
we went on up to the Vista
and that gorgeous sunset?
It just felt like
the perfect...
Maya, I thought you didn't
want to get married.
Ryan, I said that,
like, five years ago.
Yeah, you never unsaid it.
If I get the job in Portland,
you'll move with me, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
I know how much
the city means to you
and what you're giving up.
I know you're doing it for me.
So...
do you?
I know I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.
You know what?
I'll surprise you.
Well, maybe
not a full surprise
because I do have
some ideas...
No.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
(COUGHING)
Where's my stupid inhaler?
MAYA: Shit.
What?
Ryan, I don't think
I put it back in your bag.
I think it's in the car.
Damn it. No, no, it's okay.
It's not your fault.
I should've checked.
You know what,
there's an old motorcycle
out front.
I can just drive it into town
and take it out of the car.
Have you ever ridden
a motorcycle before?
Yeah, a few times.
-Also...
-What?
I'm hungry.
I'm on it.
(DOOR OPENS)
(DOOR CLOSES)
I see Howard
is truly enjoying Greece
and everything
it has to offer.

are you guys in now?
Uh, Venus, Oregon.
It's a cute,
quaint little spot.
Okay. Well,
you give me the nod,
I'll get Howard
to get a private plane,
get you two guys over here.
We're fine. Really,
we're having a good time.
Is that a nod? You want me
to pull the trigger?
-Howard. Howard.

Were you smoking?

Tonight's the night
we'll make history
Honey, you and I
'Cause I'll take any risk
To tie back
the hands of time
And stay with you
here tonight
(HENS CLUCKING)
I know you feel
These are
the worst of times
I do believe it's true
When people
lock their doors
And hide inside
Rumor has it
It's the end of paradise
