I don't know why. (LAUGHS)
This place is perfect.
Yeah. Kinda is, right? (LAUGHS)
- JOEL: Yeah.
- The opportunity presented itself, so we took it.
- Haven't looked back.
- (SIGHS)
So, what took you so
long? We've missed you.
I guess, um, I've just been too ashamed.
Oh, for God's sake, Joel.
You're too hard on yourself.
- (CRYING) I guess I am.
- None of that matters.
- (EMOTIONAL LAUGH)
- What matters is you're back!
- (DEB LAUGHS)
- Yeah.
Do you have a minute? Can
Can I give you a little tour?
- Oh, well my friend is waiting outside, but, um

So good. I
I don't even know (LAUGHS) Like,
what was I even thinking?
I mean,
this is just where I belong.
Well, sometimes you
gotta go away to come back
and realize where you're
supposed to be, right?
- (SIGHS) Yeah.
- Plus, you know,
- they got swings.
- (LAUGHS)
- You wanna?
- Yeah, I wanna.
(BOTH LAUGH)

JOEL: I'm back!
Hey. I'm in here.
Oh. You're still at it.
Still at it. Almost done.
I gotta tell you,
the minds of tomorrow
have been very impressive.
Well, I think that's
credit to Mr. Schraeder.
- Aww.
- (JOEL GIGGLES)
(SIGHS)
I want Um, I wanted
to talk about something.
I'm not gonna go to Bethany anymore.
Oh.
I'm sorry. I really am.
I wanna be there with you, but
when you met me, the (SIGHS)
church was just this really
complicated part of my life,
and (LAUGHS) I mean, it still is.
I'm not getting what I need there.
And I think I need to
go find what that is.
I
um
Sam just took me to go see Pastor Deb.
Oh Mm-hmm.
Did that help?
I think it did.
Oh.
You know, uh
you can talk to me about anything.
I know, Brad. I know.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Um
I mean
I'm a little disappointed.
I had kind of some
hopes that
- But, I'm good.
- I am sorry.
Can we still go on our walk together?
(LAUGHS)
Ah, of course, we can.
Of course, we can,

- (CAR DOOR OPENS)
What are you doing here?
Did I fuck something up?
What?
(SIGHS)
We forgot Holly's birthday.
(SIGHS) I mean, I don't
know how I forgot it.
I'm working on a cancer
benefit, for God's sake!
I mean, it's in my
calendar. It's in my brain.
I mean, I've never forgotten
it! Never. Not once.
It just (PANTING)
I think I'm ready to go inside.
Okay.
(DOOR CREAKS)
(OUTSIDE DOOR SHUTS)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Yeah, so you, you haven't

I mean, I don't I mean, I'm not
you know, I'm not sure.
(SIGHS)
You wanna
Would it help to sit down or?
Um
yeah, um
I guess I just thought,
like, being here would,
would help, that just to
(SHUDDERING INHALE)
(EXHALES)
Does it?
Ugh, I'm just not sure. I don't know.
Yeah
(SIGHS)
I mean, I'm just not sure,
like, how you did this.
You know, like how you're
able to just, like, be here
with all her stuff and
everything, you know?
Because, like, I couldn't
do it. I couldn't handle it.
I didn't I mean, I
couldn't even come in here.
You know? I mean, I just had
to, like, run away from it.
(SIGHS) And then, I've
been, like, trying to
hold on to this feeling. (SHUDDERS)
But, it's slipping away. Like
I know.
Like, it feels like she's (SOBS)
slipping away, you know?
And it just feels really
just feels (GASPS)
just feels really bad,
and it makes me really mad.
- Yeah, I know.
- You know?
And it And I don't
know how you did it.
Like, you didn't a-avoid it.
You just walked into the sadness,
- and I just don't know how you I don't know how you did that.
- Hey, Trish Um
You know, I'm here with all her stuff,
and I still forgot her birthday.
(SHUDDERS)
You had other things. You got a family.
You had the store, you know.
You got a lot of stuff going on.
This is all I had, so
You know, you did it one way,
I did it another way, and
and we both end up in the same place.
No, no, no. I think you did it better.
- (WEAK LAUGH)
- I don't think there's any better.
You know, um
(SIGHS)
You know, there's
There's a lot of days I don't
even think about her anymore,
and I never thought that would happen.
I don't want that to happen. I don't.
You know, I don't want it to get easier.
I just, um
- I don't want her to go away.
- Mm-hmm.
(SNIFFLES)
Yeah, I think think
I'm scared of
- of losing the sadness.
- Yeah.
Because it means I'm losing her.
- I know.
- You know what I mean?
And, um
But, it's
The sadness isn't her, you know?
Like, I don't think we have to
keep doing that to ourselves.
I think that
there's the sadness,
and then there's Holly.
She's not going anywhere, you know?
- And that's what matters.
- (SIGHS)
She would not believe it.
This, the way we are right now.
(GIGGLES)
- No.
- (GIGGLES)
I mean, I know I don't.
(LAUGHS) Sam.
SAM: Really don't know how
this happened. I guess
- she just had to get cancer and die for us to
- (LAUGHS)
to like each other.
(LAUGHING)
I don't know, kinda
wasted a lot of time.
You're You're not so bad.
Mm (LAUGHS)
- (SNIFFLES)
- I think Holly might like it
if we had a glass of wine right now.
- Would that interest you?
- Think Holly would approve.
- (LAUGHS) Can I get you one? Okay.
- (LAUGHS) Please.
(LAUGHS, SNIFFLES)
(SIGHS)
(SHUDDERING SIGH)
(WHISPERS) Yeah.
Tricia, um,
I want you to have this.
- Oh, no, no, no. I can't.
- Really, I want you to have it.
That's good. (SNIFFLES)
- She's always gonna be with you when you got this.
- (GIGGLES)
Thank you.
(SIGHS, GASPS)
I got all her shit, you know.
Thank you.
Thank you.
(SOBS)
Um

Thanks for this.
(SOFT LAUGH)
Okay.
Wait, so what's going on with Iceland?
Mm, nothing.
I mean, you know, we had a date, but
Well, how'd it go?
It was good, (SIGHS) but, you know
- TRICIA: But what?
- Nothing.
- (STAMMERS) Nothing?
- Nothing.
- (SCOFFS)
- Like Tricia, it's fine.
No, it is not fine! Jesus Christ.
I mean, what is wrong with men?
You have a great date,
and then just nothing?
Ugh! Swear to God, I hate
all of 'em. I really do.
- Just, just text me when you get home. Alright?
- I will.
I told you he was an asshole!

Hi! Yeah, excuse me? Sir? Um,
what is your deal?!
You know my sister likes you, right?
So, you go, you have this
great date, and then what?
Just nothing? You just
leave her hanging like that?!
I mean what is your fucking problem?!
Do you have any idea what
you are missing out on?
She's so crazy special!
Do you know that?
She's so fucking funny and smart,
and she is sensitive and beautiful
and she has this huge heart,
that you do not deserve, by the way.
So, you know what? Don't call her.
It is your loss. I told
her you were an asshole,
but she didn't listen to me. So
(SIGHS)
ICELAND: Excuse me.
I did call her.
And I texted her.
And she didn't respond.
Still think I'm an asshole?
(SNORTS)
Just
Just don't ask me that right now. Okay?

(LAUGHS)
Finally.
A-G-G?
All glory to God!
- Ah! I'm so jealous.
- JOEL: A-G-G.
(LAUGHS)
Honestly, I felt like
talking to Pastor Deb
just, like, unlocked something.
(LAUGHING) I mean,
it's all coming out now.
Good. She's coming through
where science fell short.
- JOEL: Exactly. (LAUGHS)
- Are you ready?
I'm more than ready!
Uh-oh. You got a little
something back here.
- JOEL: (GASPS) I do not!
- (GIGGLES)
(SIGHS)
- Sure you don't wanna come in?
- (JOEL LAUGHS)
I would love to come
in and be your buffer,
but I do have to go pick up Brad.
Ugh, he can walk.
Oh! Sam! (LAUGHS)
How's he doing anyway? Is he alright?
Yeah. I think I hurt
his feelings though.
- I think he'll be fine.
- But Yeah.
But
I don't think he loved
that I talked to you
about the church stuff instead of him.
Yeah.
I just felt like you
I don't know.
I felt like you could understand
in a way that he couldn't.
- I did my best.
- (LAUGHS) You did.
- (LAUGHING)
- You were so good.
- Yeah, I'm trying.
- (BOTH LAUGH)
Do you remember that
time you came to my house,
and we did Zumba?
It's, like, the only time
you ever did it with me.
And you were sitting in
the garage, and you said
you said (LAUGHS)
you don't know if I
should get on this ride
'cause you weren't sure if
you were friendship material.
Yeah, it rings a bell. (LAUGHS)
- I think about that all the time.
- Hm.
God, I'm glad I didn't listen to you.
I'm so glad I got on the ride.
I mean, my life is so
much better because of you.
I think (LAUGHS)
I think you're my person, Sam.
I know you are.
(CLICKS TONGUE)
(SIGHS) Well. Huh.
(EMOTIONAL INHALE)
That might be the nicest thing
anybody's ever said to me.
Well, it's true.
Thank you.
(SIGHS)
You're so
You're a really good friend.
(SIGHS)
Even if you did murder my toilet.
(LAUGHS)
I did. I did murder it.
(BOTH LAUGHING)
- You know the neighbors called.
- (LAUGHING)
The aftershocks.
People are stunned. They're
storming the streets.
(HOUSE DOOR OPENS, SHUTS)
- Trish?
- Yeah, I'm in here.
- SAM: Hey.
- Hey.
- I brought some scones.
- Oh.
I got a mixed berry and
something with some nuts.
- TRICIA: Okay, well
- Looked fun.
So, um
I was wondering
if the offer for the Jeep
is still on the table?
Truck wouldn't start this
morning, and I really
I don't know, I can't
keep up with the repairs.
- Yes, yes. Absolutely. Yes, I've been waiting.
- Really?
Yeah, she's all yours.
- Thank you. It's
- Yeah.
- It's time, right?
- Yeah, yeah.
Ah, good.
(SIGHS)
What?
Uh, I went out to the farm today.
Oh yeah? What for?
Yeah, because I wanted
to talk to Iceland
about how he's been treating you.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Um, what'd he say?
Well, he said that he
called you and texted,
and you never responded. So
I mean, what's up with that? (SCOFFS)
Um
He likes you, Sam.
(SIGHS)
(SOFTLY) You really
- You think so?
- Mm-hmm.
And you like him.
- Yeah
- Why do you think you make things so hard for yourself?
'Cause it's fun.
Eh, I don't know why I do that.
I think you should give it a shot.
Yeah
I don't know.
You don't know what you're missing.
(SIGHS)
Yeah.
Just make sure he showers first
'cause he doesn't smell right.
Oh, my God, (LAUGHING) he doesn't smell!
- (GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING)

I mean it. I mean it.
I'm just happy to talk
to you, sorry. (GIGGLES)
(LAUGHING)

- Oh yeah, I'm not at the house.
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
- (COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYING IN BAR)
- This tastes worse than you think it will,
but, um, it's the only
white we have, so
I don't know why I haven't
been by here before.
- Well, I made up for in volume, so
- (BOTH LAUGHING)
So, why did you want me to stop by?
Oh, you know I missed you.
(GIGGLES)
Really though, why?
- Why you looking at me like that?
- (LAUGHS) I don't know.
- Well, yeah, I wanted to thank you, you know?
- What?
Y-You know, for going out to the farm

You know.
Yelling at a guy that's
three times your size

I actually really feel like
I could take him, though.
I think you probably could. (LAUGHS)
You know, I, um
I need I needed your help.
(SOFTLY CHUCKLES)
You're a good sister.
Sam (SIGHS)
- Well
- Just
- I'll deny it if you tell anybody I said that, but

you are, you're a good sister.
I'm sorry, but we got some
really strict house rules here.

SAM: We have some awesome treats.
(EXCITED CHATTER)
Wait, uh, are those
tiny glasses of milk?
No, Brad! They're shots.
This is what the kids do.
- Pass 'em around.
- (OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
Tastes like breast milk.
Fred, come here, I gotta borrow you.

first of all, um, I wanna
thank you all for coming out
to the Cock-n-Bull on the Lord's Day.
(LAUGHTER)
I feel, um
I feel really good.
And, um, I thought that
that was a good enough reason
to ask all my favorite people
to be here with me today.
I want you guys to know how
much I love you. I really do.
Even you, Trish.

Oh, for God's sake, Joel.
You're too hard on yourself.

Ugh, I'm just not sure. I don't know.
Yeah
(SIGHS)
I mean, I'm just not sure,
like, how you did this.
You know, like how you're
able to just, like, be here
with all her stuff and
everything, you know?
Because, like, I couldn't
do it. I couldn't handle it.
I didn't I mean, I
couldn't even come in here.
You know? I mean, I just had
to, like, run away from it.
(SIGHS) And then, I've
been, like, trying to
hold on to this feeling. (SHUDDERS)
But, it's slipping away. Like
I know.
Like, it feels like she's (SOBS)
slipping away, you know?
And it just feels really
just feels (GASPS)
just feels really bad,
and it makes me really mad.

- You know?
And it And I don't
know how you did it.
Like, you didn't a-avoid it.
You just walked into the sadness,
- and I just don't know how you I don't know how you did that.
- Hey, Trish Um
You know, I'm here with all her stuff,
and I still forgot her birthday.
(SHUDDERS)
You had other things. You got a family.
You had the store, you know.
You got a lot of stuff going on.
This is all I had, so
You know, you did it one way,
I did it another way, and
and we both end up in the same place.
No, no, no. I think you did it better.
- (WEAK LAUGH)
- I don't think there's any better.
You know, um
(SIGHS)
You know, there's
There's a lot of days I don't
even think about her anymore,
and I never thought that would happen.
I don't want that to happen. I don't.
You know, I don't want it to get easier.
I just, um
- I don't want her to go away.
- Mm-hmm.
(SNIFFLES)
Yeah, I think think
I'm scared of
- of losing the sadness.
- Yeah.
Because it means I'm losing her.
- I know.
- You know what I mean?
And, um
But, it's
The sadness isn't her, you know?
Like, I don't think we have to
keep doing that to ourselves.
I think that
there's the sadness,
and then there's Holly.
She's not going anywhere, you know?
- And that's what matters.
- (SIGHS)
She would not believe it.
This, the way we are right now.
(GIGGLES)
- No.

SAM: Really don't know how
this happened. I guess

wasted a lot of time.
You're You're not so bad.

Do you know that?
She's so fucking funny and smart,

So, you know what? Don't call her.
It is your loss. I told
her you were an asshole,
