Unidentified Objects (2022) Movie Script

1
(arrows whooshing)
(soft music)
- [Winona] It's kinda tricky
to see right now,
but if you start at
that northeast corner
of those four stars
that form a square,
that's the great
square of Pegasus.
And coming off of it
is like that handle,
that's not even
our galaxy anymore.
That's, that's Andromeda.
It's a whole other galaxy,
2.5 million light years away.
Andromeda's where they live.
(gentle music)
(lighter flicking)
I was 15 when they
first took me.
Oh.
And that's how I got this.
- Easy, sweetheart.
- No.
It's not that.
See.
That's where they
extracted the DNA.
And then two days
ago I saw them again.
You ever wake up from a dream
and it's like you're
still dreaming?
(strange music)
(banging on door)
Hello?
(knocking on door)
Hi, are you awake?
I saw a light on.
Oh, I thought I saw a light.
But you're Peter, yeah?
Like your name is Peter.
- [Peter] No, I'm,
I don't have a name and
nobody's here is to go away now.
- [Winona] Okay, well even if
that's, that's not your name,
I'd really, really
love to talk with you
really quickly if,
if possible please?
- [Peter] Oh my God.
Hey, whoever's out there,
just fuck off, okay.
- [Winona] I totally get that.
I'll just,
I will go away, I promise.
As soon as you just talk
to me for like 10 seconds.
Hello.
- It's not even
six in the morning.
I was in bed, you know,
asleep having this really
terrific little dream
and I would love,
love, love to get back to that.
So I need you to just
take all of this away.
- Do you have a car?
I need a car.
- [Peter] No, I don't
have a car, goodbye.
- I, I, I, wait.
Just,
I believe you.
I really do.
It's just that I heard
you on the phone one time
in the hallway.
What, I, I wasn't eavesdropping.
I was just going
up to my apartment.
And you said that you had
less than zero interest
in selling my, your
mother effing car.
- What, no, goodbye.
(door closes)
(exhaling)
(light knocking)
- Your name is Peter.
It's written on the buzzer
in the front of the building.
I see it almost every day.
Me and David are four C.
So, so your name is
right below his name.
Peter, I can pay you.
- How much?
- $1,700.
- 1700?
Jesus, you've got money,
go find your own stupid car.
- The thing is,
I, I, I would, but I can't
'cause I don't have a license.
- So, okay.
You want me to let you,
a person I do not know,
but has no driver's license,
that's the one thing
that I do know,
to drive my car to where?
- Oh, it's really not that far.
It's just a few hours up north.
It's to visit my sister.
- Visit your sister where?
- This little,
little town.
Little cute little
town near Lapeter City.
- In Canada?
- Yeah, she's Canadian.
I will pay you $1,700 cash,
but I have to leave right now.
Okay, I have to be
there at 9:27 PM
three days from today.
And I cannot be
late, I just can't.
- Late to visit your sister?
- Uh-huh.
- I'm going back to sleep now.
- [Winona] No please.
Just do this one
little favor for me--
- No, I think I need
you to go actually.
- [Winona] But I, it's
only a few days, I don't--
- I think I need you to go.
- I don't know anyone else.
- Not my problem.
It's not my problem.
- I have no one, come on.
- Fucking listen.
I do not know you.
I do not like you just
from two minutes of this
and I'm not letting you
borrow my goddamn car.
(soft music)
Half the money beforehand.
Now.
- Whoa, what?
- What, what?
If I get half of
the 1700 in advance,
you can borrow Shay's,
borrow my car on
three conditions.
One, no eating and
no drinking inside.
You don't strike me
as a very tidy person.
Two, no parallel parking.
If you need to stop, you
find a nice easy spot
where you can pull right into.
No back and forth, no
adjusting the wheel.
And, and three I come too.
- You,
you wanna drive to Canada?
- God, no.
I,
no,
but I was supposed to
before and I didn't.
And if I don't go
now, I never will.
So,
1700, half up front.
- Anything, anything
you want, I,
you dunno how much
this means to me.
Here.
- [Peter] Okay.
Wait here, I'll pack.
- Oh, Mr. Peter H,
Winona J.
J for Jordan.
(soft music)
Can already tell this
is gonna be amazing.
- [Peter] Yeah.
So fucking amazing.
- So amazing.
(electronic music)
- [Nico] I don't know.
It's not like you have like
the official paperwork.
- What are you
looking for here, huh?
The deed of sale.
You don't have that.
You don't have anything.
You have less than I do
for if we're counting
because at least
I have her keys.
- Well, I too
have a pair of
keys right inside.
- Nico, don't be
a fucking prick.
- Listen here you little
Judy Garland piece of shit.
This is Shay's car, okay?
And I am Shay's brother,
so I don't know if she told you
that you could have this car,
but I see no proof of that.
All I see
is two broke asses
in my front yard.
- Nico.
Nico.
So we just wanna
borrow your car.
That's it.
It's a personal favor for me
so that I can go
visit my mom up north
and you're gonna get it back.
Okay?
You seem like such a
sweet, sensitive kind of guy.
You know, it would
mean so much to me.
- Who's this bitch?
- My Tai chi instructor.
Nico, we're taking the car.
Shay gave it to me.
It's mine.
End of discussion.
- [Nico] Man, fuck you.
- [Peter] Fuck you.
- [Nico] No, fuck you.
- [Peter] Fuck you.
- You said you had
the other key, right?
- [Nico] Yes, I
have the other key.
- Okay, so could you go get it
so we could maybe compare keys?
I don't know, maybe there was
like a mistake or something.
And if we have the wrong key,
then you were right
and we will just move along.
Thank you.
- Fine.
But I have business
dealings to conduct.
I'm an entrepreneur.
I make money moves.
(strange music)
- Gimme the keys.
- What?
- Give me the keys.
- No.
- Give the--
- No.
Hey, hey, stop, don't touch me.
Wait.
Wait, Winona.
Winona, this is a crime.
This is stealing.
No, no, no.
No.
Shame,
shame,
shame.
He's gonna be back
in 10 seconds,
I'm not getting,
there's a moral code.
- Listen.
I am going with or without you,
so get in the goddamn car.
Ugh, let's go,
come on, hurry up.
- Goddamn it.
- [Winona] Come on,
hurry, hurry, hurry.
- Shit.
Fuck.
(strange music)
Winona.
Winona, pull over.
Pull over the goddamn car.
- Hey.
Hey.
What are you doing?
- Oh, just calling the cops.
- Please don't call the cops.
- You stole a fucking car.
- No, I helped you
get your car back.
- This is insane.
This is fucking insane.
(exhales slowly)
What are you doing Winona?
Where are you trying to take us?
Fuck it, I'm calling the cops.
- No, just, just wait a second.
- [Peter] I'd like to
report a stolen vehicle--
- Fine.
- In the vicinity--
- Fine, fine, fine, fine--
- Third Street and--
- I will tell you.
I will tell you.
Hang up.
Thank you.
Peter,
I promise
that this will all
make a lot more sense
when I can show you.
- Show me what?
(thunder rolling)
- The abduction site.
- The abduction site?
- [Winona] Yeah, so
would you please
get back in the car?
(soft music)
- Let's go to the
abduction site.
(strange music)
(gentle music)
(strange music)
- And I remember it,
it felt like
riding in an elevator
when you never even
heard of an elevator.
And there's this computer
that translates everything
you think or say.
And they told me that I had
been chosen extra specially.
And then they told
me their name,
which doesn't actually
translate exactly.
So we call them
the bridge people.
- Ooh, huh, huh,
the bridge people.
Now, okay, I remember the cowboy
and the construction guy.
And what was the, oh,
the leather daddy.
But who, who was the--
- The bridge people
are an advanced,
harmonious species.
I mean, in Andromeda,
there's, there's like these,
these things that
are like bridges,
but that's like saying that
sunsets are like grapefruits
and they sail
across the universe
on these massive strands
of starlight and energy.
But they need human DNA to
reproduce.
- By abducting new
bio teen girls?
- We call it intersecting
and in exchange for
allowing them to intersect,
I get to go back.
- Oh, you get to go back
to Mormon space camp?
- It's not.
That's what they told
me when I was 15.
And then two days
ago I saw them again.
They told me where I
had to be and when.
It's two days,
twenty-one hours and
four minutes.
And if I miss it, that's it.
But I won't
because I have you
and I have your car
and you think I'm
delusional right now.
- Oh, well how could I,
when presented with such a
concise, logical argument.
- You said you had to
be somewhere too, right?
- One quick pit stop,
a beach on this
ugly little lake.
- Ooh, it's sounds
super duper romantic.
- Not unless you got
got a cock and balls
squirreled away somewhere.
- How do you know I don't?
Come on, let's rest up
before the border tomorrow.
Canada, woo.
- [Peter] Darling, I am
not leaving this car.
Fuck you very much.
- I'm not gonna steal your car.
- You already did.
So go be crazy somewhere else
and let me sleep in peace.
- Don't call me crazy.
- What?
- I said,
just don't call me that.
I'm not.
And anyway, you're the
one who's all weird
and horny for your big pink car.
- It belonged to a friend.
(gentle music)
- [Shay] It's just a
place I saw in a magazine.
I only wanna go if it's us.
Promise we'll go together,
you and me.
Cross your heart
and hope to die.
Promise?
- [Peter] I promise.
(car rumbling)
- [Winona] You sleep okay?
- Yeah.
Just,
I've got a bad back, that's all.
- Uh-huh, that's what that
nice comfy motel bed was for.
Hopefully it's nothing a little
Vicodin and whiskey
soda can't fix.
- [Peter] I don't drink.
- [Winona] You're sober?
- No, I just don't drink.
Oh, pull over, I gotta get
my passport out of the trunk.
- Don't need it.
Takin' the back way.
Secret threshold.
- Oh.
So another crime.
- If we get caught.
- Yeah.
- You know when it's
just the two of us,
you don't have to wear that.
I mean, I don't
wanna be depressing,
but if I got it, you got it.
So.
(Winona laughs)
Now you can breathe
like the human being.
Hey, hey, yeah.
The spot you said a
couple minutes early.
Yeah, yeah, I
brought a friend too.
It's a,
no no, no, it's not
that kind of friend.
But,
thank you for asking.
(gentle music)
I feel fine, I feel fine.
I feel functional,
you know, I'm like,
yeah, well, you know,
it's not nothing for me.
Okay.
Okay, Suzee.
Okay, I love you.
Love you.
See you soon.
Okay bye.
Bye.
(gentle music)
(lighter flicking)
- You know, you have a phone
and I have a phone,
which makes wait for it,
wait, wait,
two phones.
- Too dangerous.
Unless it's a life
or death emergency.
You know, they can
trace outgoing calls.
- Who?
- Anyone who really wants to.
(gentle music)
(birds chirping)
(engine rumbling)
(muffled music)
There she is.
- [Suzee] You can
tell your mother
she can take whatever
she fucking wants
It's my dream for
when I get back.
Win, win, win.
- Suzee, meet my current
traveling companion, Peter.
Peter, this is Suzee.
She's gonna help us cross over.
- Oh, glorious.
Which way is Canada?
- Didn't anybody ever teach you
the shortest distance
between two points?
Straight fucking line, baby.
(birds chirping)
(engine rumbling)
You all want?
This is some God tear shit.
- Yeah, I could take some.
- [Peter] No, we do not.
- You know, you'll
get a tummy ache
if you keep reading in the car.
- Here's something.
Don't ever talk to
me like I'm a child
or use words like "tummy"
or "grumpy" or "wa wa
wa" that sort of sound.
I'm a fully adult man--
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, okay.
- [Peter] Fuck me.
(engine rumbling)
Do not touch me.
(Peter sighs)
Suzee, you gonna get scooped
up by the little green men too?
- No.
Nah.
This planet might be
a worn out crap sack
just spinning through the void,
but goddammit, I am fond of it.
I spent 16 years in finance.
That's a one and a six.
Then one day
I realized that
all those numbers
I spent years obsessing over,
they were
all made up,
pure fiction,
which
led me to the most
important step of all.
- Self-reflection.
- What?
- Self-reflection.
- No drugs.
Easy around the yellow stumps.
Okay, they got electronic
sensors buried underneath.
- That cannot possibly be true.
- It is.
(uneasy music)
(chuckling)
We made it, my people.
We're on the other side.
- Don't.
This is to ease your passage.
Here, take it.
No, no, no.
Take this.
- Come on.
- This for you.
Call me, no,
whenever you're ready to
return to reality, okay?
You know I'm gonna
fucking miss you.
You know that.
Say hi to the universe for me.
Go.
Go.
(engine rumbling)
(gentle music)
(plate slams)
- Jesus.
Just crack it over
the back of my skull.
Skip the niceties.
- [Waitress] Are you paying
for food or affection?
- That is the most rational
person I've ever met.
Hey.
Hey.
Cut it out, you're an adult.
So I take it your a
whore of some sort.
What?
- I do sex work.
That is a thing that I do.
And sometimes it's camming
and sometimes it's stripping.
Occasional dirty video.
I escort but that's not
really possible at the moment.
- Ever consider a job where
the skirt and panties stay on?
- I am a human being
who does sex work.
That is a thing that I do.
Okay?
But I also like to think
that you and me and
sometimes other people
are more than the one or
two things that they do.
Like if I ask you what you are.
- Please don't.
- You wouldn't say,
oh, I'm just a pissed
off, miserable guy
who hates everything.
- No, I would say that.
Excuse me.
Hey,
I've been asking for more
coffee for five fucking minutes.
- Tell me about yourself, Peter.
- Absolutely not.
Excuse me.
Can we just get a refill
when our goddamn...
Jesus.
- Can I get a beer?
- No, no, she's joking.
You wanna know who,
and or what I am Winona?
All right.
I,
am a circle inside a circle
inside a circle.
I am a college educated
homosexual dwarf
in a world with little to no
patience for intelligence,
for men who fuck other men,
or for bodies that are not
of a highly specific
make and model.
I,
am unemployed.
I'm balding.
I'm prone to illness.
Statistically, I'm gonna die
sooner rather than later.
Oh, oh, oh and I am so
goddamn smart, Winona.
(Peter sighs)
Sometimes I feel like
I know everything
and I know,
I know
that I'm not a part of anything.
(somber music)
- You know, I used to
have a lot of self pity
when I thought
that I had to live
like this in this world.
But I don't.
So I don't.
- Unless you do.
- But I don't.
(soft music)
(soft music continues)
(car door buzzing)
- First word, fuck.
Second word, no.
- It will be so, so
neat and so clean.
- I don't care,
the answer is no.
- But it ain't a real
road trip without snacks.
Oh, and road beers.
- I,
you don't have a license.
You don't have a passport.
We are in this
country illegally.
And you want to not
only drink and drive,
but drink while driving.
- Road beers, road--
- Winona, my answer is no.
- Road beers, road
beers, road beers.
- Winona.
- Road Beers.
Road beers.
- Winona, shut the fuck up!
Pump the gas and let's go.
This place is giving
me deliverance vibes.
Hey, hey.
I saw that.
- You were supposed to.
- Uh,
hello.
Hey.
Hello.
- Hey.
- Sorry.
We don't want to be weird but a,

- I don't think I know you guys.
I'm sorry.
- No, no.
No, no.
Her like,
dude, show her the...
- Hey, everybody.

So custom videos are available.
Just.
Yes, that's me.
Just subscribe.
- [Teen 2] Cool.
- [Winona] Let's have
some naughty fun together.
- Very,
very cool.
(horn honking)
- We've got an appointment
with some little green men.
Let's get going.
- Hey, shut up.
- Not talking to you kid.
Winona.
- He said shut up.
- You shut up.
You pimple faced Eric
Klebold looking shit stain.
- Fuck you mini me.
- Sorry, what was that there?
- Fuck you,
you midget fuck.
- [Winona] All right guys,
let's calm down with
the name calling.
Peter, can we not right now?
- All right, listen up.
Before you ever
consider the notion of--
(teens laughing)
- [Winona] Get off of him.
- [Peter] Get off of me.
Fuck you.
- Get off of him.
(tense music)
- [Teen 2] Shit, wait,
wait, what's he doing?
- [Teen 1] I don't know.
- [Winona] What did you do?
- Shit, I, I don't,
yeah, I don't, I don't.
I'm, I'm out.
Fuck.
(tense music)
- [Winona] Peter, Peter.
- [Teen 2] Call 911
or something.
Okay.
(tense music)
- Shit, Peter, Peter.
Peter.
Help!
Help!
Help!
Help!
Peter, Peter.
Peter.
(Peter laughing)
Peter?
(Peter laughing)
(coughing)
Are you okay?
- Ah,
moose fuckers.
Everybody in this
goddamn fucking country,
moose ender puffin' fuckers.
Wish they hadn't
scuttled away so quick.
Next I roll on the rack,
roll around on the ground
and froth and kick.
Once I pushed and
almost shit myself.
- Peter.
- Almost.
- [Winona] You're okay?
- Oh yeah.
I'm gonna live forever.
- Peter.
- Forever baby!
(soft music)
(Peter laughing softly)
- [Winona] Peter.
- [Peter] So fucking tired.
Let's go back home, please.
- I'm sorry, there's no time.
- This can't be real.
None of this is happening.
It's just, it's just
more bad pill dreams.
I'm not gonna be every random
hick asshole's freak show.
Okay?
I just need to be back inside,
in my apartment, please.
Please take me back.
- We have to keep going.
You need the money
and you don't get the money
if we don't keep going.
- Need the money.
Fuck money.
Fuck.
- What about your friend?
(soft music)
Come on.
Let me help you.
(inhaling and exhaling)
(soft music)
(tapping)
- [Officer] Sir?
- What?
- [Officer] Sir, have you
been drinking tonight?
- What, no.
Fuck off.
- [Officer] Sir.
(tapping on window)
- I just told you to fuck, ow,
Jesus fuck.
What the fuck?
- [Officer] I'll
ask you again, sir.
Have you been drinking tonight?
- No.
I,
I don't, I don't drink
ever.
I'm,
I'm not gonna be someone's funny
little drunk fucking dwarf.
- [Officer] Right?
Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you
to step out of the vehicle.
- Are you kidding?
- [Officer] Step
out of the car, sir.
(police radio chatter)
- Winona.
- [Officer] Stop
touching the woman
and step out of the car
or I will have to
radio for backup.
- This is bullshit.
This is so fucking bullshit.
Okay, I'm out.
I'm out.
- [Officer] Sir,
are you familiar
with intergalactic
ordinance L17?
- Intergalactic what?
- [Officer] Sir,
the ordinance states
any species with a class
three civilization or higher,
that includes you, sir.
Will be held accountable--
- Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
- Planetary--
- No, I, I didn't,
I didn't, I didn't do anything.
- [Officer] Sir, are
you or are you not
a self-identified human being?
- Yes.
- [Officer] And
this is your planet?
- Okay, no, I
listen, I need to--
- [Officer] Oh, hey, easy there.
Step back toward the car.
Step back now.
- Okay.
- [Officer] Sir,
I'm gonna need you
to remove your
articles of clothing.
- What?
- [Officer] Sir?
- Why?
- [Officer] I'm
not gonna repeat.
- No, okay.
Okay, I'm.
Fine, I just.
(thunder rolling)
(radio chatter)
(soft music)
Why aren't you wearing a shirt?
- [Officer] Sir,
are you familiar
with the name Shay Alvarez?
Are you aware of what
befell Ms. Alvarez
in August of last year?
At that time,
did Shay suffer from mental
illness or depression?
- She,
she was in constant pain, but
it can be depressing.
(soft music)
- [Officer] The skin too.
Now.
- Ow.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
- [Officer] Are you trying
to cause trouble, sir?
- No, I.
- [Officer] Am I gonna need
to confiscate this vehicle?
- No, no, no, no.
Don't take her car.
Don't touch her car.
Don't.
Please,
please.
- [Officer] Sir, do you
recall exactly what happened
the night your
friend passed away?
- Yes.
Yes, she,
she called me on the phone and
she told me that she was
hurting worse than she ever had.
- [Officer] And what
did you say to her?
- I said,
go back to sleep.
It was late and I, I was
tired and I, I didn't know.
I didn't know.
- [Officer] Sir, I'm gonna have
to ask you to come with me.
- No.
No.
Fuck you.
(distorted rumbling)
(gasping)
(strange music)
(insects chirping)
- Shit.
(muttering numbers)
(breathing heavily)
[Winona] Morning.
- Is it?
Hey are you all right?
- Hmm, huh?
Let's go.
- Okay, can I pee?
Please?
- Hey, you know,
later I thought maybe
I could read your book.
- Don't bother.
You wouldn't get it.
- [Winona] Says who?
- Says me, the expert.
How do I say this?
Anton Chekhov
is the greatest writer
who ever lived period.
Next to him, Bill Shakespeare
looks like a second string
little frilly collared bitch.
- I almost admire your
confidence of your own opinions.
- This, oh fuck.
Fuck.
Fucking back.
- You should be careful.
- Careful fucking of what?
- Dunno just, just careful.
- Careful.
Careful, she says.
Just careful.
(car door opens and closes)
(car stalling)
Winona.
- It won't start.
The fuck, won't start.
It won't--
- Wait, wait.
Just wait a second.
- No.
- Wait a second.
- You hold on a second.
- Wait, wait.
Jesus.
- Oh.
- You're a people person, right?
- Hey, hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Fuck, this is taking too long.
- How about you flash your tits?
- How about you flash your tits?
- Hey, no, no, I
was, I was kidding.
- Even a broken asshole's
right twice a day.
Hi, hi, hi, hi.
Hey.
SOS, hello.
- Hi, can you--
- Hi.
- Help.
- Yes.
Yes.
- Should I say something?
- Depends.
- Depends on what?
- [Winona] On if your
entire personality changes
in the next 15 seconds.
(strange music)
(alien sirens wailing)
(strange music)
- Having a bit of
car trouble, eh?
- [Winona] Yeah.
Yeah, we, we were
just hoping you guys
could give us a
super quick jump.
- Oh, yeah.
What's the kerfuffle?
- Nothing, they just
need a quick jump.
- [Winona] We'd so,
so appreciate it.
- Oh, I'm, I'm Lola
Nelson, by the way.
And the space lady is Sadie.
(car engine cranking)
(soft music)
- [Winona] Oh, I just
love your outfit.
It's so shiny.
- I know, right?
Oh, check this out.
(car door closes)
- Fuck.
- Whoa.
Easy.
The head and the
suit and everything,
it's all just for
characters from Galaxy X.
- What, what is that,
a Canadian thing?
- Sort of.
Like the OG manga and anime
are obviously Japanese,
but they shoot the
TV show in Vancouver.
- Oh, they, they shot the
second season in the Ukraine.
- Sorry.
They shot the second
season in the Ukraine.
Thank you Lola,
for correcting me about
something so important
in front of these
people that we just met.
- You're so welcome.
- Uh-huh, ah, just
with the cables, we're just
kind of, we're on a timeline.
- All the big cons got
canceled this summer.
So I begged and I borrowed,
and I got down on my knees
until Lola agreed to do this
road trip with me instead.
- We drove up from
Toronto yesterday.
- Yeah.
We listened to like
six hours of podcasts
about dead people
nobody's ever heard of.
- Just that you've
never heard of.
- [Winona] And it's so great
that you guys do that together.
- [Sadie] Oh, I love cosplay.
But to do it full-time,
you also have to do all
the shitty gross stuff.
You know, like, even the top,
top girls still do
things like Only Fans
and sell nudes and stuff.
And it's just like, have
some self-respect, you know?
- Yeah.
Yeah, totally.
- [Peter] I mean,
fuck that though.
- Excuse me?
- I said, fuck self-respect.
You can't eat it.
You can't sell it.
And you know,
it only matters if
you decide it matters
to other people
because of whatever dumb thing.
So,
fuck that.
And let them sell
pictures of their feet
to creeps in peace.
Anyway, that's one opinion.
- [Sadie] Yeah, I mean,
I also have my opinion
as a professional.
- [Lola] Well, okay, cool.
So, whose Chekhov is
in the passenger seat?
- Oh, oh me, mine.
- Oh, remember
from the podcast?
How could I forget?
- I actually studied
him, or, I mean,
I wrote my thesis
on his nonfiction.
- Honestly, I don't know
how you could do that
without killing yourself.
The podcast made
him sound so sad.
- Sad?
Sad is the understatement
of the millennia.
His characters aren't sad.
They're,
they're tragic.
- Yeah.
Yes.
I mean, the, the sad part,
like the actually sad
part is that these people,
they have their heads so
far up their own asses
that they can't
take 'em out in time
to unfuck their own lives.
- So what's the ETA on the car?
- Oh, yeah, sorry.
Just rev it up again.
[Sadie] Uh-huh.
And actually you should
start your engine.
- [Winona] Okay.
(engine revving)
(engine cranking)
- Hey, yeah.
There we go.
Jesus Murphy.
Hey, you know, you
should be a mechanic.
- Hey, any chance that you
wanna be an Ewok for me,
you know, with like a big
furry hood and a mask?
- I'll pass.
- He passes.
- [Sadie] Heard him.
- [Winona] Thanks guys.
- [Lola] All right.
See you around.
- [Winona] Thank you.
- [Lola] Happy light reading.
- And hey, you got to
talk about your guy.
That was nice.
Peter?
-Uh?
You just, you weren't
there for a second.
Like you.
Oh my God.
How could you forget
something like this?
I mean, what should we do?
Should we just leave it here
in case they come back?
Peter,
what do you wanna do?
- [Peter] Let's drive.
(soft music)
So what's the
intersection gonna look like
when it happens?
I wanna mentally and
emotionally prepare myself.
(indistinct radio chatter)
- Well,
I mean, whatever happens,
it's not gonna be how
you imagine from a movie.
- Why not?
- The bridge people can
manipulate our reality
and our perception
of our reality
however they want
in ways we literally
cannot perceive.
(indistinct radio chatter)
(strange music)
(no dialogue)
- [Peter] Gonna make
your intersection?
- Yeah.
We're ahead of
schedule actually.
- No.
How is that even possible?
Hey.
- I don't know.
Maybe we drove through a portal.
- [Peter] Or a black hole.
- Nah,
we would've been spaghetti-fied.
And the entire
planet would be gone.
- I'm still here.
- Still here.
Don't hold back
I want to break free
'Cause it's singing
through your body
And I'm carried by the sound
Every jump
Every single beat
They were born
from your body
And I'm carried by the sound
Oh, ooh love
They'll never break
the shape we take
Oh, ooh
Baby let all them
voices slip away
Don't look back
I want to break free
If you'll never
see 'em coming
You'll never have to hide
Take my hand
Take my everything
If we only got a moment
Give it to me now
Oh, ooh love
They'll never break
the shape we take
Oh, ooh
Baby let all them
voices slip away
No caressing, no caressing
No caressing, no caressing
No caressing, no caressing
No caressing, no
- [Winona] This is my favorite
way to look at the world.
You spy someone's little
light on somewhere.
Or maybe it's just
a television screen,
but your brain
fills in the blank.
- [Peter] I look through
people's windows sometimes
back in my apartment,
just across the courtyard.
Not like going out
of my way to, anyway.
If I look up and
I see something,
then sometimes
I'll keep looking.
- [Winona] Why would you do it?
- [Peter] The same
reason people watch TV
and read interviews
with strangers.
The dream of
another, better life.
(muffled music)
(strange music)
(lighter flicking)
- Peter.
Peter.
Come on, let's hit the hay.
- Go on, I'm just gonna.
- Peter.
- I would enjoy a shower.
- Honey, you need a shower.
- Do I?
- Yeah, you're nasty.
- Oh, I'm nasty?
- Nast, nasty.
(Winona laughs)
You nasty, nasty.
- I'm nasty.
- Yeah.
Come on.
(Peter singing indistinctly)
- Hey, you know, I,
I am thirsty.
- I got ice from the machine.
- No, I just, I don't
know, I don't know.
You wanna go grab a beer?
- Grab what?
- I don't know, I just.
Yes?
- You don't drink.
- No, I,
thank you, yes, I know.
But I, I mean, I
don't want any liquor.
I just, I don't,
I just wanna be around people
like, you know, like,
maybe, I don't know,
like maybe at that,
whatever that place is
across the road, maybe.
- You wanna be around people?
- Well, six feet apart.
- Is that why you're
dressed so nice?
- But,
yes.
Yes.
People, uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
- Peter, I'm like half asleep.
- Well, hey, hey,
hey, hey, no, no.
Winona.
Listen.
Do you really wanna
spend your last night
on the planet Earth
lying in your bed?
- No.
- There we go.
Yes.
Yes, just, just,
let's just go have a drink.
One quick drink, and then you
know, it's back to Chekhov.
- Okay, fine.
Let me just put my face on.
- [Peter] Oh, no, no, just
wear the, wear the mask.
- Wait, why don't you
just go ahead without me.
Grab me a beer.
- Thank you.
- Oh no.
Actually get me a vodka tonic.
- Oh, a vodka tonic.
- [Winona] Yeah.
- Okay, miss vodka tonic, okay.
Okay, let me just.
Fuck.
Hotel mirrors.
God, do I look okay?
Yeah, all right.
Okay, I'll see a minute.
- See you in a minute.
- Okay.
- [Winona] Just be careful.
- Be careful of what?
- I don't know.
Crossing the road, just
be careful.
- All right then.
- [Winona] See ya.
- Un minuto.
Cheers.
Got me going in circles
'Cause I really love you
Got me goin' in
circles around you
Got me goin' in circles
And I really don't
know what to do
What am I but just a fly
On the wall to you
- Hi.
One vodka tonic.
And let's do that with
your second nicest vodka.
And then I'll also take
a Diet Coke with no ice.
Seriously, no ice.
But when I see you
walking down the street
- Thank you, thank you.
Oh baby
Got me going in circles
- [Stranger] Why
only second best?
- Sorry.
So, I'm sorry, what did you say?
What did you say?
- You asked her to pour you
the second nicest
vodka they had.
I was pondering at that point,
why spare the expense.
- The best, or like the,
the most top shelf liquor
at your average bar is,
is always gonna have the
highest markup, as a rule.
- But it's still
the best in't it?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I guess it is.
- You're American.
- Mm.
And you're Canadian, eh?
- Born and bred.
Sorry about that.
- Oh, I was, so.
You must be sick to death
of all the, you know,
I mean, you do look a little
bit lumberjackie though.
It, it invites commentary.
- Right, sure,
yeah, I bring it upon myself.
- Yes or not.
I, I, ugh, I'm,
I'm, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.
It's,
it's been a minute
since I've engaged in
any casual conversation
with a strange man.
Sorry.
I'm, I'm,
I'm rusty.
- Yeah, I can tell.
It's the real reason I'm
sitting so far, actually.
- [Peter] Oh, it's
not the plague?
- Oh, no, this is much more of
a social distance, you know,
and a social distance.
(Peter laughing)
Are you waiting on someone?
- She's late, I don't.
- Oh, she.
- Oh, long, long,
fucking long story.
That's story for another day.
- Yeah.
Just glad I wasn't totally
misreading the situation.
- Yeah,
no,
you are not.
- Do you want to dance with me?
Got me going in
circles around you
Got me going in circles

("Indian Love" by
Marcel Pierre Riesco)
- [Peter] I,
I keep a picture of her
in my book.
I use it as a book mark
Come back home
before the storm
so she's always there, you know.
So she's always with me.
- I'm sorry to hear
about your friend.
That sounds like you're
a good friend to her.
She said, uuuhhh
- No.
- Oh, yeah.
I didn't say perfect.
She said, uuuhhh
I wish I could.
Right?
Good is good, you know,
good is all we can get.
(soft music)
- This is good.
- [Stranger] Good?
Distant drums she
heard alright
- This is perfect.
It was him calling all night
Leading to the coyote trail
I'm going to her
beach tomorrow.
The one, she's,
the one she thought we
were gonna see together.
- Are you nervous?
Right before the
morning light
- It's just sand,
water,
sky.
Now they're together at last
This is, this is good.
- Are you nervous?
- It's just sand,
water, sky.
- Are you nervous?
- It's just sand,
water.
I hear those distant drums
From my indian love
From my indian love
From my indian love
I'm, I'm so sorry.
Did, you asked me, you
asked me something?
- Oh, no.
Fuck no.
It was, wasn't like a question.
It was just,
you know, you're American.
- Yes, oh.
And, and you are Canadian.
- Oh, well, shit obviously.
Hey, you know, and I hope
this is okay to say, right?
But I don't think
I've ever seen,
you know, like.
- What?
- You know, like, like,
a person, people
like, like you,
you know, like, like
in person, you know?
- Oh, yes.
We, yeah, we are
rare, rare birds.
- Uh-huh.
In a shit town like this,
you don't get too many fucking
dwarves or
whatever the right word is now.
- Little person.
- Little person.
(chuckling)
Shit, sorry, man.
But that's way worse
than fucking dwarf
for a midget or whatever, fuck.
- It's the word.
Hey, I was, I was--
- What the fuck?!
- What?
No, I, I didn't.
- I'm not a fag.
- No.
No.
No, that's,
no, that's not
what I'm, I didn't.
No.

Hello, oh, fucking.
Winona.
Winona, open up, I need to pee.
(hiccups)
Winona, open the,
open the fucking door.
I'm gonna piss my pants.
- [Winona] Peter.
- Yes.
- [Winona] Is anyone
out there with you?
- What?
No, just,
just come out and talk
like a normal person.
I already waited over there
for you for a fucking hour.
Thank you.
I just, fuck.
Unlock the door.
- [Winona] If I come out,
do you promise that
there's no one else there
and that you
checked outside too?
- What?
Fucking.
All right, I'll check.
No, no one, it's just us.
Hey.
- [Winona] Okay, step
back, I'm coming out.
- Hey, did you unlock the phone?
Hey, there she is.
Hey, were you just
in there all night?
We were gonna go have
a drink, remember?
Do you remember?
- Yes, yeah.
- So what the, what
the hell happened?
What happened Winona?
Hey did you,
did you unplug the phone?
Hey, stop it.
Winona.
Stop it.
Stop.
Stop it.
What are you doing?
- [Winona] People
know that I'm here
and they're coming
to bring me back.
- You're not me.
You're not making, back, where?
Back where?
- [Winona] To New York.
- Winona, okay,
just fucking sit.
Just sit down.
Just sit down.
- There's no time.
- Oh, why, why?
Because the magical aliens
will zap back into space
without you if you don't
get there at, what is it?

what they said.
- It's not real, Winona.
- Stop.
- It's not real.
- Stop it.
- And I'm so sorry
the universe doesn't work
like you want it to work.
But Winona,
Winona,
(hiccups)
we get put in our bodies
in this place,
(hiccups)
and we live and we die,
and we decompose here.
- Drunk, you're drunk.
- I'm not drunk.
I'm,
I'm fine, fine, I'm,
but that doesn't mean what
I'm saying isn't true.
This,
this world, this fucking,
the, the frame,
the, the, the, the,
the world.
It does
not
want us.
We do not fit.
We do not have a place
because we are mistakes.
- You.
All of your problems are just
things that you do to yourself
because you are a bitter
gutless, heartless little human.
(Peter laughs)
- So I'm a little,
I'm a little.
- Yeah,
little, little, little.
You make rules
and then you get mad
when people break rules
and you pick fights,
and then you act like
you're being attacked.
And this fucking death wish,
horny for death bullshit.
You are unlovable, Peter,
because everything
that is in you is bad.
I'm leaving.
- Wonderful.
Perfect, that.
Go.
Just fucking get the
fuck out of here.
Go.
Keep pretending
there's something else
waiting somewhere.
Sorry you have to
hear this from a
fucked up little fag midget,
but actions have
consequences, you crazy bitch.

I should, I should be in bed.

You were right about me.
- What?
- You were right about
well, not everything, but
you were right about me.
You wanna stand up?
- I can't move.
- That's okay.
That's okay.
(birds chirping)
- It didn't happen.
- What?
- I came when they said,
46 minutes ago,
and I'm still here.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry too.
I'm sorry I called
you what I called you.
- I called you worse.
(footsteps approaching)
(gentle music)
- I have got terrible,
terrible corns.
Oh, geez.
- Excuse me?
- Corns on the
balls, of both my feet.
I say this by way of explanation
as to why
I am not standing up right now.
Why I sat down
instead of, you know,
addressing you face
to face, eye to eye.
Well, you beat us here.
Good on you for that.
(chuckles)
You know, the two of
you together plus us,
that's makes a,
a seven.
- Seven what?
(gentle music)
- Abigail, will you kindly.
(gentle music)
- Fuck me with a rusty spoon.
- A rusty what
did, what did you?
- Fuck.
Fuck!
Fuck!
Winona, I.
- Hi.
- Oh, hi there, young lady.
- Hi.
I, I thought I,
I guess I, I didn't,
I didn't think you,
you're, you're still here.
- Well, now what
are your two names?
- Winona J.
J for Jordan.
- And I'm Sir Paul McCartney.
- Peter.
- Peter, yes.
Yes, my,
my name is Peter,
and I am not a part of this.
- Well, that's all right.
Abigail, how much
longer do we have?
- Three hours, 11 minutes.
- Three hours, 11 minutes?
I wrote it wrong.
- Whatever you did or you did
not do, Miss Winona Jordan,
I'm sure it came
from your heart.
- So, this has been fun.
Winona,
I guess this is
where I leave you.
- You can stay,
you can, I mean--
- What?
Go to,
that sounds very,
very appealing.
I mean it.
- Oh, oh, I,
for your trouble and your car.
- Thank you, thank you.
Well, it's, it's funny.
I mean, it's not
really funny, but I,
