Thank you.

I'm so bored of living.

I wake up every morning in the same bed with the same person.

I shower, brush my teeth, I get dressed,

and I eat the same breakfast and then take the same commute to work.

I'm 28 years old and I'm terrified.

This is all there is.

Sometimes I'll be in the store and I'll be looking at two different cans of

beans and I'll think, These beans are better.

No, these beans are better. And then I'll think, that's the most boring

anyone's ever had. I mean, God, everything is pointless.

Anyway, what's up with you?

What's new with me?

Nothing.

Great.

My face is really itchy.

What, are you getting eczema? No, I'm not kidding. Why would you even say

Look at my finger.

Oh, my God.

Holy shit.

Reed Hollingsworth. What's wrong with Reed? Nothing.

At all. He's fine.

He's totally fine.

Uh -huh. And unassuming. And nice.

He's very nice.

Well, that's good. It's a good thing to be nice. And his family is really rich

and well -connected and super close.

Oh, they're classes?

And racist.

This is about the asparagus. Oh, I see. We're passing the asparagus.

Mom has an idea of the proper way to pass food around a dining table. Is that

how they do it in Mexico? Maybe she was legitimately curious. We're not from

Mexico. Yeah, but our mom is.

Do you think Dad would have liked Reed?

Yeah, I do, actually.

And you don't think it's weird to get married without Dad there?

What am I supposed to do, just never get married?

That's an idea.

Ladies. Get you another round? Yes, I will have a fancy familiar.

I don't know what that is. It's a Mozambique samba just without the

Stop it. Why do you always do that?

We're going to have shots of Patron, please. And don't go far because you're

going to have to keep filling them up.

You got it.

And why do you order shots? You know I'm trying to drink less. Alma, your only

sister just got engaged. We're doing shots. And then I'm going to make you

listen to the story of how he proposed.

Oh, my God.

So romantic.

I am going to need booze for this.

That's Patron. Thank you.

What? To my sister and her life choices, which I support.

What are you doing?

I'm humping your butt.

Oh. How long are you going to do that? It was an idea.

I want the mouth.

Hey.

Can you promise me that we're not going to be like one of those boring couples

who, like, gets married and settles down and has babies and is, like, all happy?

Yeah, gross.

Never.

But it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

No, no, no. Wrong answer.

You're helping me again?

You're so crazy.

No, I'm not.

I'm not crazy. Okay, sorry, sorry.

I just can't do it.

I can't do the wedding.

And the bird announcements and the piano lessons and the matching Halloween

costumes.

True that. Matching Halloween costumes are lame.

But what if you went as Batman and I went as Bruce Wayne? And then every time

were together, I'd be like, Batman, we're in the same room.

We must totally be different people, everyone.

That's a couple's costume.

No, it's totally different because one's... batman and one's bruce wayne

different people okay but for real i

don't want to settle down right now ever

never know what's gonna happen no i know okay

we won't settle down we'll be vagabonds or Cat

burglars or hot air balloonists.

I like that.

And then we'll settle down and have kids. What? I'm sleeping.

What's wrong?

The room is spinning.

Cassie, no.

Cassie, we don't... No.

Don't squeeze it. No.

Is everything okay here?

Yes, Cassie's just being a C -U -N -T.

Wow, okay.

Uh, Cassie?

Cassie, do you need a time out?

No! Seems like you do. Yeah. Let's do it. Come on. There you go. Come on.

Cassie!

All right, we're going to sit here until you calm down.

Because I get paid to force you to behave. Pretty weird, right?

It's not so bad.

Did you know that the Kogi tribe of Colombia puts their babies in a dark

Yeah, I know that. Oh, you really? You know that? Well, did you know they keep

those babies in a dark cave for nine years?

And as the babies grow, they tell them stories about what the world outside

looks like.

What trees and birds and rainbows and clouds look like.

When the babies come out, they see those things for the first time.

And they are so blown away by how much more amazing the world is than they

have ever imagined that they have such incredible respect for whatever created

this place and all of the beautiful creatures living in it. Can you imagine

feeling that way about anything, Cassie?

All right. Do you want me to put you in a dark cave? No, you be in the cave.

Okay.

I'll be in the cave, too.

We'll be in the cave.

Help me find a cute baby photo of Becca for her engagement dinner. That's why

I'm here, Mom.

Look at this one.

After her first haircut.

Where's the one where she's toddling around the market in St. Cristobal with

apple soda and laughing? She looks like a tiny drunken sailor.

What did you know about Geraldine?

Not much.

She was your father's mother, and she died.

And she got married and had three kids.

Lost her mind.

What about this one?

Great. Love it.

Done.

Where are you going?

To get some water.

Are you coming to church on Sunday?

I don't know. I'm going to see how I feel.

We have a new priest.

I think you'll like him.

He's into indigenous cultures. Like conquering them and appropriating them?

Studying them.

Oh, cool. Maybe.

Are you going to bleach your upper lip before Becca's dinner?

Unbelievable. You just look so pretty when you try.

I gotta go, Mom.

Whoa.

Is this dad smoking?

Yeah, he smoked on occasion.

Why didn't I know that?

He didn't want you to. Was he smoking when he had the accident?

No. How do you know? Because I read the police report. Can I read it? No!

I don't have it. It was 20 years ago.

Are there any other photos of him I haven't seen, Mom? No, that's it.

I'm taking this.

Fine.

It's just weird to think that there's stuff about my dad I never knew.

My mom was married to some other guy before my dad.

Really? Yeah, he had two Pomeranians, a red sports car, and he beat her until

she had to be hospitalized.

Oh, my God.

When did you find that out?

After I graduated college.

I think she didn't want to, like, mess me up. But once I got that diploma, she

was like, let me drop my secrets on you. See, I never got that.

My dad died before he could stop being my dad and spill all the family secrets.

I got to get back to work.

Hey, I want to talk to you about our conversation the other night. Yes, I'm

glad you brought that up.

I totally see your point about Bruce Wayne and Batman.

If you want something that I can't give you, then I don't want to waste your

time. We're not wasting time.

I don't know what's going to happen.

But right now, this is good.

So let's just stay in the right now.

Yep. This is good.

See you later.

You know where I live.

Because you live there too, so.

Oh, I can't believe we have to go to this thing. Yeah, it sucks that your

sister's getting married and your mom is throwing her this party and everyone's

happy. Exactly.

Hi.

I know I shouldn't have said anything.

Well, I know you like when I wear makeup, so... Okay. Well, have fun

embarrassing your sister on her special night. This isn't her special night. Her

special night is the wedding. This is dinner.

This is also a special night. There are multiple special nights. She doesn't

care. You're the only one who's going to care.

Always nice to see you, Sam.

Ooh, Sam's getting some love tonight.

Okay. Just come inside.

We can go whenever you're ready.

Don't you think we should at least stay through the dinner portion of the

dinner?

Oh, Alma.

Love the stash.

Thanks, Reed.

Is this some rebellion against Mom?

Not exactly.

Good to see you again, Alma. Hey, Matt. How are you?

Haven't I seen you before on a Pringles can?

Nice one, Dad. You getting the reaction you were hoping for? Yes.

Now that we're all here, I'd like to propose a toast.

To Becca, Winograd Diaz, love of my life.

When we first got together, it was like we were two puzzle pieces spinning

through the universe, and then click.

We found each other, and the puzzle was complete.

It was only a two -piece puzzle, like a puzzle for a little baby, but

yeah.

To Becca.

In the rest of our lives. I love you. Thank you.

Cheers.

Hey.

I love you.

Love you too.

We need to talk.

Do you ever feel like you're in a play?

Except you're the only one that knows it's a play.

And everyone else is just playing the role they think they're supposed to play

because that's what you do.

And you're like, hey, this is just a play. We don't have to do this. And

we shouldn't.

What are you talking about?

He broke up with Sam.

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

What happened?

I know you don't really remember, but Dad's mom was schizophrenic. I know.

does that have to do with anything? She was perfectly happy, and then she got

married and made a family because that's what she did back then.

She ended up on lithium.

Getting shock treatments.

Shoving a broom handle through the television set while her boys watched

Doody. Getting married isn't what made her crazy. She just had a bad brain.

Yes, but if you know you have a broken brain, then why would you put someone

else through that?

Okay. Tough love time?

You say that like you're asking me, but I never agree to tough love time.

I think what is actually going on is your younger sister is getting married

before you and you feel your life slipping away.

No.

That's not it. An amazing guy wants to marry me and you're jealous. Okay,

amazing. And it's okay, Alma. You realized that Sam wasn't good enough for

and you broke up with him. That's not why I broke up with Sam. And it's okay

want a better life. What are you talking about? I am talking about the fact that

you could be better, but you choose not to.

Like, instead of going back to school and getting your BA, you work at a

daycare. And you are so smart, but you always, like, make the losing choice to,

like, prove...

I don't know what you're trying to prove, but you don't have to be afraid

move forward.

I'm doing it.

Why can't you?

Can I try on your ring?

Sure.

My God.

I know.

This blood diamond does make me feel special. Now I got it. Okay, give it

to me. Give it back. Hey, shots of tequila.

Keep them coming. Don't get wasted. We promised mom that we'd meet her at

in the morning. You promised. I said I'd see.

I'm not doing shots. Yes, you are. Because your only sister just got

Hey, I'll take one with you.

Hello?

Did whoever stole all your furniture have a thing against pianos? That is not

the answer to my question.

To mine.

Okay, I'm next. I'm next. I'm next. Ask me. Okay, truth or dare?

Truth. Okay. What are you most excited about getting married about?

Oh, right. Okay, well, having sex for the first time.

Shut up.

Are you seriously a virgin?

Kidding. Oh, good, because I was going to say you definitely do not seem like a

virgin.

Seem like.

Stop flirting.

You're engaged, remember?

Truth or dare?

Dare. I dare you.

To kiss my fist?

No. Yeah.

No. Yeah. You don't have to kiss me. No, I want to, but I can't. It's a game,

Becca. It's a stupid game.

Okay, one small, tiny, dumb kiss.

There you go. Thank you.

That's it.

Boo.

That sucks.

That was like a T .O. Oscar kiss.

Ew. No, it wasn't. Your Uncle Oscar lip kisses you? Yes. He totally does. Super

weird. I don't want to kiss you like you're T .O. Oscar.

Okay.

Look at the birds of the air.

They do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet our Heavenly Father

feeds them.

Are you not much more valuable than they?

What does this mean?

Does this mean that we should not farm and store away food? That we should

blindly trust God will provide for us? That we do nothing to provide for

ourselves?

I was recently at a gathering of several indigenous groups from South and

Central America.

And one thing these desperate groups could agree on was that humans have lost

their connection with nature.

In fact, we have forgotten we are nature, and it is in rhythm with nature

we are provided for.

Through our not taking selfishly more than we need, but instead recognizing...

Where have you been?

Who knows where those girls have been? Look at her.

You know what? Forget it.

we are able to step into this natural balance and live freely, just like the

birds.

Hey, okay, look.

Last night, it just happened a little bit. Mama, this isn't funny.

This is my life. Hey, I didn't make you do whatever it is you did with that guy.

I hope you feel really special because you ruined something that was really

beautiful. I'm not trying to ruin your life, believe it or not. I'm trying to

help you. You don't want to marry Reed.

Oh, right, I get it. He's white and he's rich, so you don't like him. Well, what

is the point? Because we're broken people.

Okay? And broken people break people. No, I'm not broken, Alma.

I'm not. I'm really fucking happy, and I wish that you would stop telling me

what you think is best for me, because I'm not you. Okay. You are so insanely

self -involved, you don't even know all the things that are wrong with you.

No, I do.

Trust me.

You know what?

Here's your ring.

You can try to hold on to it.

Boxer versus Raptor. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
