It's currently 74
degrees and sunny.

It'll be hot and humid today,
with showers developing

and chance of a thunderstorm.

Yep, I need to go.
I'm running late.

Are you really going
to this wedding alone?

Yeah, Mom. It's just me.

-Honey?
-What? I'm just asking him.

Are you okay, sweetheart?

Mom, I'm more than okay.

I'm fantastic.
Never been happier.

Love traveling alone.
Love being alone.

David. Be open.

I'd kick myself if I
never told my son that.

Be open. Life is better
when you're open.

A hundred percent, Dad.

And visit more.

-Okay, will do. Love you guys.
-Love you.

-Gotta go. Bye, bye, bye.
-I love you, boy. Bye-bye.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

Can I help you?

-Yeah, I...
-Name?

David Longley. I rented a car.

Hold the fuck on
a moment, please.

Now, okay, David. When
I buzz, open the door.

But listen here, because
this is important.

You gotta open it a half
beat after I start buzzing.

If you try to open it a quarter
beat before the half beat

or a quarter beat after,
the door won't open

and we'll just have to repeat the
process, over and over and over again

until you finally get it.

Okay.

David, I guess what
I'm trying to say is...

...doors are tricky.

Sure.

Sure, yeah, yeah.
Doors are tricky.

Agreed.

Damn it, sor... I didn't...

Try again.

Rushed it. Try again.

Fuck yeah, David!

Hello?

Hello, David.

Longer walk than
you thought, right?

Yeah.

Okay. I'll see you
when you get up here.

Stop right there on the mark.

Slate your name for the camera.

Sorry, "slate?"

It just means, "Say your name."

David Longley.

Your car will be
a 1994 Saturn SL.

A Saturn? Thought they
were out of business.

Not here.

-Those the only cars you have?
-They're the only fucking ones we need.

What are you doing
with that photo there?

-Your headshot?
-Yeah.

Is this a problem?

Yeah.

Why?

Because I don't ever
remember taking that picture.

-And?
-And?

-And?
-And?

-And?
-And...

...I'm not an actor.

Could you say that
one more time, please?

Could I say what one more time?

What you just said.

I'm not an actor?

That's it. Yeah.

Go ahead.

I'm not an actor.

I think all of us tend
to act a lot, David.

I think we perform more
than we think we do.

That's not necessarily
a bad thing.

There are moments of real honest to
goodness truth in performance, right?

Sure.

I mean... maybe.

In fact, sometimes we have to
perform to get to the truth.

It's a more painful route,
but sometimes, pain is good.

I love that. You should say that more
often when I say the thing I say.

I will. From now on.

Thank you for taking my note.

Now, do you want the GPS, David?

No, I'll just hook up
my phone using a USB.

There are no USBs in these cars.

There's no USB in a
Saturn SL fucking 1994.

Of course. Well, I'll just
listen to the GPS on my phone.

But what if your phone
craps out on you?

I don't think my
phone will crap out.

But it might, David.
What if it does?

People's phones crap out. They
crap out on them all the time.

Well, my phone's never
crapped out on me.

But what if it does, David?

Won't you remember this
exact conversation?

And won't you think, "Fuck me.
Fuck me so very very hard"?

I'm sorry. What is this place?

This is The Car Rental Agency.

Do you want the GPS?

You want the GPS, David?

Sure.

Fuck yeah!

...singular sensation

Every little step she takes

One thrilling combination

Every move that she makes

Remain on interstate
for 249 miles.

The forecast for your wedding trip
is sunny skies with non-stop rain.

Fun fact, in Hawaii,
they call this...

-Liquid sunshine.
-...liquid sunshine.

You have arrived at
your destination.

You have arrived at
your destination.

Thanks.

Thank you so much for
coming all this way.

You joking? I wouldn't have
missed it for the world.

-Beautiful ceremony.
-Thank you.

This is Sarah.

You guys live in the same city.

-Oh, yeah.
-Oh.

Hi. David.

Hi.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

Where do you live?

Downtown.

-You?
-North side.

-Do you like it?
-Like what?

Living downtown.

Yeah.

Well, it's our wedding
so we're gonna leave.

You two have a good
night, okay? Have fun.

Do you want a drink?

No.

No, I'm good.

Very well.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm David from
the North side.

Oh, God.

-Stop.
-Stop what?

Just stop...

trying to be charming.

Why are you afraid of me?

-You think I'm afraid of you?
-Yeah.

I'm not afraid of you.

I'm afraid of hurting you.

-Of hurting me?
-Yeah.

No matter how this plays out, it
probably ends in me hurting you.

What if I hurt you?

I won't let you.

I see. You're tough.

I am.

And I'm not.

Okay.

Aren't you tough sometimes?

Yeah, sure.

And then other times
you're just kind of...

...mush.

-Mush?
-Yeah.

No?

Maybe it depends on
the person you're with.

I don't know.

So, I bring out the
tough side in you.

All the good ones do.

Do you believe in marriage?

You seem smarter
than that question.

Well, humour me for a second.

-Okay.
-Go on.

I believe I shouldn't
get married.

Fair.

What about you?

When I was a kid, six or seven,
they made us do a picture in school,

of what we thought the
future would look like.

And I drew a picture of me
with a bow tie and a top hat.

Three kids.

It's the truth.

That's all I wanted.

Was to be a dad and be married.

Swear to God.

You wanna marry me?

-Didn't you just say that you don't...
-Yeah, well, I changed my mind.

Will you marry me?

Oh, man, you have destroyed
some men, haven't you?

Yeah.

And men have destroyed me.

And I'm guessing since
you're still single,

you've probably done some
destroying of your own.

Especially with that accent.

Is it real?

Is what real?

Your accent.

You think I'd fake an accent?

At a wedding? Yeah, maybe.

Came over when I was 13.
Mother American, Father Irish.

Mom was homesick.

What about you?

Parents? Siblings?

I'm gonna go dance.

All right. Enjoy.

Okay.

-You coming?
-I don't dance.

I wish you would.

Hey.

I don't dance?

I don't dance.

Oh, for fuck sake.

Remain on interstate
for 237 miles.

237 long, arduous miles.

David?

David?

Yes?

Do you want to go on a big,
bold, beautiful journey?

Sorry, are we talking
to each other now?

David, I'm asking
you a question.

Do you want to go on a big,
bold, beautiful journey?

Yes.

What's that, David?

Yes, yes, I do.

What do you want to do, David?

I wanna go on a big,
bold, beautiful journey.

Say it again, David.
Like you mean it.

I want to go on a big,
bold, beautiful journey.

One more time, David.

With a kind of passion that
suggests that before you die,

you need to experience what
it feels like to be big.

Bigger than Earth itself.

No more of this, "We're all
specks of dust" bullshit!

Do you want to go on a big,
bold, beautiful journey, David?

Great, David. Take the next
exit at Kiki's Travel Plaza

and eat a fast
food cheeseburger.

Hi, David from the North side.

Hey, Downtown Sarah.

What are you doing here?

I'm having a cheeseburger.

When was the last time you
had a fast food cheeseburger?

Why you call it a fast
food cheeseburger?

Isn't that what it is?

Well, yeah, but I mean, technically,
it's a Whopper with cheese.

Okay. When did you last
have a Whopper with cheese?

I don't know, actually.

About 20 or 25 years ago.

Snob.

When was the last time you
had a fast food cheeseburger?

I eat 'em every day.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Oh, yeah?

Wow.

Hungry?

So...

So.

So, we live in the same city.

Correct.

Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Are you gonna...

...ask me out or something?

Would you like to be asked out?

I asked you to
marry me last night.

Yeah, but that was bullshit.

Oh, was it?

Wasn't it?

I guess you'll never know now.

Oh, God. The pain
of early regret.

Also known as dating.

So, we're not gonna date?

Wouldn't be worth the risk.

The risk?

The risk.

Pessimistic.

I'm glad we got
that out of the way.

Yeah, thank God.

Want an onion ring?

Please.

Delicious.

This is the only ring
I'll be getting from you.

All right, well...

Yeah, nice knowing you.

Nice arguing with you.

Did you get the GPS?

Yeah. Because...

-...sometimes your phone craps out on you.
-Sometimes your phone craps out on you.

Okay.

Yeah.

Well, enjoy your journey.

You too.

Bye, Sarah.

Bye, David.

-Hey, Sarah?
-Yeah.

What I was saying...

I do dance.

You have arrived at
your destination.

I'm ready for my journey.

Pick up Sarah.

My car won't start.

Welcome to your journey,
Sarah and David.

You have any clue
where we're headed?

None whatsoever.

You have arrived
at your first stop.

Should we be trusting the GPS?

I have nothing to lose.

Me neither.

What is that?

Excuse me.

Very bizarre.

What's around there?

Dead bodies!

Shut up.

We have to go through it.

Why?

We just do.

What do you think's
behind there?

More of this.

You think?

I don't know. Come on.

Oh, my God.

Holy shit. I know this place.

Are you gonna tell
me what's going on?

We're visiting a preserved
lighthouse from the 19th century.

Where?

Canada.

Canada, okay.

Came here a few years back.

On a little trip of my own.

Are you some kind of
weird lighthouse freak?

-Now that you say it, I wish I was.
-Is that... That's your thing?

This is unbelievable.

Why were you here by yourself?

I travel alone all the time.

Me too.

It's funny how the most beautiful places
make you feel the most alone, you know?

No matter where you go,
you always end up going

to the top of something and
looking down at something.

Most places have a thing like that.
You know, you go to the top and you...

you look out, and you look down and
you're supposed to have an epiphany

about who you are and
about your life, and...

...where it's headed.

Well, do you know
where it's headed?

No, Sarah, I do not.

Did you have an epiphany
the last time you were here?

No.

Felt nothing.

So, you didn't take this all in?

Not even close.

What about now?

-Did that really just happen?
-Apparently.

Red door in the
middle of the woods?

Like, who put it there?

Next stop is in 79 miles.

Hey, what's this all about?

Proceed to the route.

I'm talking to you.

Proceed to the route.

Locked?

Yeah.

-Sarah!
-Vincent!

Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Your flashlight.

Yes.

-Thanks.
-Enjoy.

See you on the way out, Vincent.

I'll be here.

Where are we?

We are at my favourite museum.

What are we doing here?

Probably gonna
look at paintings.

Cool.

My mom's dead.

What painting is that?

That's very funny.

She died when I was
19, but growing up,

we would come here at
least once a month.

Vincent would let us have the museum
all to ourselves during closing hours.

He loved my mom. Loved her.

And then when she died, I
started coming once a week.

Yeah, and then I just got
busy. That kind of thing.

Happens.

Well, my mom's alive.

Oh, great.

Yeah. Not dead.

That is so awesome for you.

Dad, on the other hand...

Dead?

No. Alive.

I think my dad's alive.

I wish he were dead.

Actually went on a road
trip with my dad once.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

We went to the Baseball
Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

You like baseball?

What? No. He did.

Well, he does, I guess.

And I remember he brought this big
bag of unshelled sunflower seeds,

and I ate the whole
bag and I got sick.

So, you didn't like
baseball and you got sick.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But...

It was actually a
really great time.

We had a great time. He...

When I had his attention, he
was actually pretty great.

So tell me...

Why are you single?

-You really wanna know?
-Yeah.

It's because I cheat.

Even when I don't wanna
cheat, I'll end up cheating.

Even when the person I'm
with is perfect, I'll cheat.

Okay.

Makes me feel like one
half of me is always single

and doesn't have to give a shit
about anyone else but myself.

And so then that half
cheats and gets caught.

And then, all of me is single.

And that's what I'd rather
be in the first place.

Not the answer I expected.

And why are you single?

I suppose I haven't
met the right one yet.

David, you've probably met the right
one, like, a hundred times already.

I wish that was true
even once, Sarah, but...

That's such a bullshit answer.

I gave you honest fucking truth.

And you're gonna give me, "I
haven't met the right one yet."

Just because you don't like the answer
doesn't mean it's a bullshit answer.

You've probably given the "I
cheat" speech a thousand times.

And I betcha anything it
makes guys want you even more.

Yeah? Any truth to that?

Sounded a little bit rehearsed.

Kind of like your top of
the lighthouse bullshit?

"The most beautiful places
make you feel the most alone."

That's a pretty good me,
actually. I'm flattered.

In point-five miles, you will
arrive at your destination.

-Oh, my God.
-Oh, shit.

Is that your high school?

Yeah, how'd you know?

Well, two reasons.

One, those could only
be high school doors.

And second reason?

I'll tell you later.

-No, wait, wait.
-What?

You know, I'm not sure.

What?

Well, I went here
for four years.

I don't know who
or what, when...

-You know?
-It's okay.

-High school.
-It's okay.

We'll find out.

Come on.

Oh, wow.

You've got to be
fucking kidding me.

Jesus Christ!

Hi, David.

David! What are you doing?

-Mr. Nelson.
-You're late. Come on.

-No, no, no, you're dead.
-What?

You're dead. I was at your
funeral. It's four years from now.

I mean, look, maybe I was wrong,

but get your pancreas
checked, will you? And soon.

I don't know what kind of pre-show
routine you're doing here,

but there's no time.
Curtain's in half an hour.

-Half hour, everyone!
-Wait, Mr. Nelson, how old am I?

-Coming through.
-You're 15.

I'm 15.

-Cool. How old am I?
-Jesus.

I don't know, 40?

I'm gonna kill you today.
Forget four years from now.

Fucking 40?

Are you nervous for tonight?

Yeah.

-You're gonna kill them.
-Thank you.

Break a leg, all right?

Who's that?

Cheryl Hayward.

She plays Rosemary.

So, are you in this show?
You're in this musical?

Yeah. I play J.
Pierrepont Finch.

You're J. Pierrepont Finch?

Yes.

What? That's amazing.

You did the show?

God, I wish. No.

Ex-musical groupie.

After her solo, I...

I tell her I love her.

Oh, wow. Okay.

She says, "I don't love
you. I love Clint Whitford."

And I'm... devastated.

Who's Clint Whitford?

This fucking asshole,
prick, college freshman.

He treats her like shit.

-Wow.
-That night...

I mean, tonight, I go home and I
don't even get out of my costume.

I go up to my playroom,

I plant myself face down
on the couch, and I cry.

You have a playroom?

I cry so hard. Jesus, God,
it feels like it ag...

Feels exactly like
it felt that night.

-Okay, well...
-Except now I know it's worse.

No, because I know she's gonna
just destroy me all over again.

Okay, just don't... don't
tell her you love her.

No, but I have to.

Why? You just said that you know
that she's not going to say it back.

Maybe she will.

She won't.

-I have to.
-David?

Hair and make-up. Right now.

-Cool.
-Yeah.

Okay.

Break a leg.

Yes!

Amy Moore.

Eddy Bora?

Why are you saying my full name?

I don't know.

But you do it with
Jennifer Hodge tonight.

Do what?

Do it.

You must be so
excited for David.

We're just so proud of
him. He's so talented.

He worked very hard.

Yeah. He went after
it, he deserves it.

Yeah. And he's just
a really special kid.

Just really and
truly, just special.

And talented.

Yeah, and special.

Okay.

Enjoy the show.

Bye.

And now, How To Succeed In
Business Without Really Trying.

Dear Reader, this little book is designed

about the science
of getting ahead.

healthy, clear-eyed and eager

anxious to rise quickly and easily
to the top of the business world.

You can.

and ability, so much the better.

What the fuck are you
doing? Get out there.

My name is David Longley.

I'm 15 years old, and I'm the
lead in my high school musical.

Are you saying that to yourself
or you saying that to me?

Both.

You know the bit in Bourne Identity
where Jason Bourne realizes that

he can be an assassin without remembering
that he's actually an assassin?

What's Jason Bourne?

...lucky golden few. You can.

This is Jason Bourne.

Cheryl.

-Cheryl.
-David.

-Before we go out there, listen to me.
-Just stop.

Cheryl, I love you.

David, I care about you, but Clint and
I are gonna try to make things work.

And I know he can be awful
sometimes, but I have to try.

How did you know
what I was gonna say?

Cheryl? We need you on.

You two break up
after six months.

Okay, maybe, but that doesn't
change the way I feel right now.

But not maybe!

Not maybe.

It doesn't work.
It will not work.

J. Pierrepont Finch, why are
you looking at me that way?

J. Pierrepont Finch, why are
you looking at me that way?

He breaks your heart.

Clint. He breaks your heart.

He cheats with Amy Moore
during Easter break.

David, what are you doing?

Oh, boy.

You marry Tate Chandler.

And then you divorce
Tate Chandler.

-Cheryl.
-Just stop chasing me, David.

I don't love you.

Well, would you look at that?

It's five o'clock.

Well, here it is, five p.m.

The finish of a long day's work

And there they are, both of them

The secretary and the clerk

Not very well acquainted

Not very much to say

But I can hear those Two
little minds ticking away

I should have understood.

Now, she's thinking

I'm so sorry, Cheryl.

Cheryl, I'm sorry.

Now, she's thinking

-Cheryl? Cheryl, are you okay?
-Cheryl?

Now, she's thinking

I wonder if we take the same bus

And he's thinking

There could be quite
a thing between us

Now, she's thinking

He really is a dear

And he's thinking

But what of my career

And she says

Ah

And he says

Well, it's been a long day

Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long

Been a long day

Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long

Been a long day

-Again?
-Sure.

Well, it's been a long
Been a long, been a long

Been a long day

That was fucking...
How'd you know?

What can I say?

A good, musical groupie
always knows the songs.

Thanks for the save.

You're welcome.

It's actually the second reason I knew
that those were high school doors.

I'm secretly a dork.

You're secretly a dork.

Not so secret.

Yeah, not anymore.

High school's really fucking
important to dorks like us.

It's pretty formative.

It's formative as fuck.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You were different back there.

How was I different?

Very... heart on your sleeve.

Yeah, that was me back then.
Back when I thought that...

Go on. Thought what?

Back when I thought that
everything would work out for me.

That I'd get what I want
and that I'd be... happy.

Because you're so special?

Where'd you hear that?

Nowhere.

I saw you sitting
behind my mom and dad.

They may have mentioned you
being special, like, 30 times.

I swear to God, if I could go
back to me as a kid, I would say,

"David, you little prick. You're not
that special. Get over yourself."

Would you?

I would actually, yeah. Yeah.

I mean, it just causes you... sets
you up for a spectacular fall.

So, what is it that
you want, David?

What do you mean, Sarah?

Are you still...

...chasing the
Cheryls of this world?

It's been a long time since I've
felt that anyone was worth the chase.

Are you chasing me?

Because if you are,
you should just stop.

Seriously, David, I'm just gonna end up
disappointing you like everyone else has,

so you should just stop.

What are you doing?

I didn't mean stop the car.

Okay, this is
getting too dramatic.

"Sometimes we have to
perform to get to the truth."

Hi, Sarah.

Hi, Dr. Vernon.

How's everything at school?

I think at this point I was having
an affair with my professor.

Can we just get to it?

Sure.

Your mom passed away
about an hour ago.

Was she comfortable?

She was comfortable.

-No pain?
-None.

-You fucking swear?
-I fucking swear.

Did he...

No.

Your father hasn't
been here in months.

So she was alone when she died?

I assure you, she was
on a lot of medication.

So, she was alone when she died.

Yes.

Do you want to see her?

Can I just have a minute?

Absolutely.

It was kind of messed up that I had
to relive my high school musical.

Which you kind of nailed.

I did nail, yes.

But it seems really
unfair that you have to

relive the moment where
you're told your mom died.

I'm not reliving this.

This is happening
for the first time.

I wasn't at the hospital
when my mom died.

I avoided it. Do you
know where I went?

Museum?

God, the fucking museum.

Sarah, that's...

That's kind of beautiful. Your
mother's favourite place in the world.

It's kind of beautiful.

I'm horrible.

Not even close.

I... Then you don't
know me very well.

Actually, you're...

You're magic. You're a lovely,
formidable force, is what you are.

Listen to me.

I'm a fucking coward.

Nope. You're here now.

I'm a fucking coward.

You're here now.

Yeah, but that doesn't...
it doesn't count now.

-Why not?
-Because it...

It's not real!

This isn't real!

Well, it sure as
shit feels very real.

Every part of it.

David, I wasn't at the
museum, the day my mom died.

I really, really love
that you thought that.

And I wish it were true, but...

I was... screwing my professor.

That's what I was doing.

And she died alone.

I better do this.

Dad.

All I'm thinking about right now

is the time that Big was supposed to
play on TV one night after swim practice.

And I remember saying to you,

"Mom, what I really want is to
come home from swim practice

and eat mashed potatoes
while I watch Big."

And you know what you said?

Without hesitation, without
a hint of annoyance,

you said, "Of
course, sweetheart."

And you must have been so tired.

But you were never
going to say no.

That word just never
crossed your mind.

It was always, "Of
course," with you.

You just gave.

So easily.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

No, not really.

But, it's just...

...my son.

My son... was born prematurely.

Well, I'm... I'm sure
he's gonna be okay.

Yeah. There's some complications
we were just told this morning.

What complications?
What's wrong?

His heart.

There's some problems
with his heart.

It's called PDA.

Patents ductus
arter... something.

Did they say if it's fatal?

Yeah, it can be.

He'll... Hey, he'll survive.

Well, thank you for saying that.

Seeing my son trapped
in that incubator.

If he dies in there and if
I'm not able to hold him,

I don't know... what we'll do.

It's gonna be all right, Dad.

It's gonna be all right.

Dad.

You... well, you're
a dad, right?

Right. I am.

We tried to have a
child for a long time.

And then we were fine with it.

And then she got
pregnant. At 40.

And the next thing you know,
our little David was born.

Do you have children?

No, I don't.

My friends tried to explain what
it's like, but it's impossible.

And annoying.

But the minute that
I saw my boy...

...my world changed.

Do you think...

that you'll tell
him about all this?

You know, with
the complications?

No. My wife and
I made a promise.

If he survives, we'll do everything we
can to protect him from shite like this.

Excuse my language.

Nah. We won't tell him.

He'll only know
that he was perfect,

and that he's everything we
ever wanted and hoped for.

That he's...

Special.

Yeah, special.

Mr. Longley. Your wife
is asking for you.

I need to go. Thanks
for listening.

Yeah.

Hey.

Yeah.

You're a good dad.

That's all I want.
Just a chance.

I met a boy, Mom.

I really wish I could
talk to you about him.

He's here now.

I think if I let him,
he might always be here.

Who are you?

I'm the guy who buys gifts, because
he doesn't know what else to do.

The Renoir painting from before.
That's my mom's favourite painting.

It's a beautiful painting.

Yeah.

She always liked how helpful
the girl who's not playing is.

She's like turning the pages.

It's like a selfless act.

Your mom sounds cool.

You know, we're not taking
any of this with us.

Oh, sorry, you... thought
these were for you?

They're for my girlfriend.

Oh, for your girlfriend.

Yeah.

She's really bad for me.

It's what I go for.

Fuck her.

Hi.

-We will be taking this guy.
-Yeah?

-Yeah.
-All right, yeah?

Yeah, he's just... perfect.

Hold your breath.

What?

My mom would do this thing when
we were in the car together.

She would shout, "Hold
your breath," randomly,

and then we would hold our breath
and see who can do it the longest.

Hold your breath!

Okay.

You win.

I didn't take a big enough...

Sarah, you're gonna pass out.

And I'm gonna have to
give you the kiss of life.

She wants me to give
her the kiss of life.

I think I just saw God.

Congratulations,
Sarah and David.

You've earned a break.

You'll arrive at the scenic
overlook in 21 minutes.

Yay. A break.

What's happening?

I am gonna change.

Okay, no peeking.

Yeah, of course.

Okay, but if I move the mirror, it's
just to see out of the back of the car.

And maybe, a little
bit of your face.

There you are.

I don't know if I trust the
angle of that mirror right now.

Just the face. Just the
face. Just the face.

Can I tell you something
I just thought about?

Yeah.

And I've never told anyone this.

When I was a kid, my mom left.

Yeah, no, I mean, it's fine.

She came back. She
wasn't gone long.

But the strange thing was my
dad never said a word about it.

You know? I kind of...
I'd forgotten it.

Yeah. Yeah, I was small
and... I knew it wasn't good.

I'm sorry.

I know I said my parents always worry
about me, but I actually always...

I always worry about my dad.

Yeah.

Well, thank you for
sharing that with me.

Well, thank you for letting me.

Do you think life is short?

Go on.

I don't know. It's something
I've been thinking,

and I just want to
hear my mouth say it.

I don't think life's short.

People say it, you know. "Life
is short. Have fun." But...

I have to say, for the
last ten years or so,

life has felt pretty
damn long to me.

I agree.

-You do?
-Yeah. Life only feels short

when you're moving forward with
something that you don't want to end.

Right. Yeah, yeah.

I haven't moved forward with
something in a long time.

How does...

How does it feel now?

It's maybe feeling
a smidge shorter.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, how is this a break?

Are we looking down on
ourselves right now?

I think so.

This is so...

Beautiful.

I was gonna say strange,
but yeah, that too.

Beautifully strange.

Strangely beautiful.

When was the last time you
were at a wedding with someone?

It's been a while.

Same.

And what do you think would have happened
if we had gone to that wedding together?

Well, I guess we would
have known we were together

-and that would have been...
-A comfort.

Yeah.

I never liked coming
to these things alone.

At some point you would
have gotten me a drink...

-Yeah.
-...and I would have felt...

Yeah.

-You would have felt what?
-I would have felt...

...taken care of.

You would have been.

Yeah.

What's your drink?

White wine.

Dry. Very dry.

Like rocks.

Like dryer.

Would we have danced
at this wedding?

You don't dance at weddings.

I do in this scenario.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

We're rewriting the rulebooks.

Then, we would have danced.

God, it sounds like we're having
a good time at this wedding.

God, we're having a great
time at this wedding.

Does it make you nervous? How
lovely a time we're having?

A little.

-You?
-Very much.

But I'm okay with it.

Why?

Because I prefer to feel nervous
with you than feel nothing alone.

That simple.

Are you taking it
all in this time?

You have arrived
at your next stop.

Shite.

Do you know that door?

Yeah. You?

Yeah, I used to go
there all the time.

Me too.

I don't wanna go in there.

Me neither.

Pass.

You have arrived
at your next stop.

I think now would be a good time
to tell you I was engaged once.

Okay.

I think now would be a good time
to tell you I'm a fucking monster.

All right.

Yeah.

Hey.

Here.

I'm so sorry.

Two people saying sorry at
the end of a relationship.

Well, doesn't get
more boring than that.

Are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure.

Because, and I know this might
make me sound weak or whatever...

-No, you're not weak.
-It's fine.

Just say the word, and
we can forget about this.

And you can put that ring
right back on my finger,

and we can just move on.

Together.

You're gonna love this.

I upgraded our room.

Check it out.

Oh, wow.

-It's gonna be so great.
-It's lovely.

I also made a reservation at
your favourite restaurant.

-Great.
-Yeah.

And I made sure they had the
very, very, very, dry white wine.

-Thank you.
-The dryer than dirt dry.

Why didn't we work?
Why did this end?

Just...

...wasn't meant to be.

That's such bullshit.

Wasn't meant to be?

Wait, you... you didn't say
that when this happened.

Why did you lose
interest in me David?

You didn't say that either.

...thing where I pick out
your outfit for the night.

I leave you tonight.

What do you mean?

When you're asleep, I leave
you in the middle of the night.

And when you wake up, you
have no idea where I am,

and you're worried sick,

and you text and you call and...

I block your number.

And you never hear
from me again.

Tell me why you lost interest.

I don't know.

Jesus Christ! When did
you start stabbing people?

You chased after me
so hard. Won me over.

When you finally have
me, what happened?

I was underwhelmed.

-What happened?
-I was overwhelmed.

-Felt disappointed.
-Didn't wanna be disappointed.

Thought of coming home to
you everyday made me...

Break out into hives.

-I wasn't happy with you...
-Or me.

-Or us.
-Or us.

-Blah, blah, blah.
-Blah, blah, blah.

-Dig...
-Deeper.

I thought we just dug
fairly fucking deep.

Okay.

I'll go.

At first, I was really into you.

I thought I'd met my match.
Someone just like me.

Someone who wanted to
have fun and not care.

Someone who knew that
this was all bullshit,

and that it wasn't gonna last.

And then you changed.

You started to
care. Really care.

Because I fell in love with you.

Yes! That! I didn't
ask for that.

It was too much.

I loved you too much?

Yes. Yeah.

No... Yes. Yeah.

So you leave me,
because I love you.

No, I leave you, because...

...because you love some
version of me that's not me.

And you don't...

You don't know me.

You never really knew me.

And that's my fault?

And what about you?

Hard pass.

I...

I genuinely believed that
I could make you happy.

And that's all I wanted. That
hope is everything to me.

It means that every day I'm pursuing
you, and pleasing you, is beautiful.

You know, it's meaningful
until I have you,

and then it all...

...becomes meaningless.

And then I start
feeling myself again.

The me that I was before we met.

Except this time
I'm, I'm more tired.

And then I wake up
one morning, and I...

I'm about as fucking
empty as I have ever been.

And...

you'll never make me happy.

That's very, very cruel.

No one's good enough for you.

Deer incoming.

What?

Oh, shit!

Oh, shit.

Come on.

Crap.

Crap.

Sabotage.

You know how to
fix total led cars?

I do not.

How about burning cars?

I do not.

Well, we're good at
destroying things.

Apparently.

David?

Yeah?

Let's not do this.

Do what?

This. Let's...

I don't want to be the girl
sitting in a cafe holding a ring,

wondering when you
lost interest in me.

I don't want you to be the guy that
I leave in the middle of the night.

Let's just end this
before we hurt each other.

Why are you so certain
we're gonna hurt each other?

Were you not paying attention
back there in the cafe?

That's just who we are.

That's who we were. It doesn't mean
it has to be who we are, Sarah.

I mean, this whole journey...

I think it's a chance, you
know, for us to be open.

I mean, life is better
when you're open.

What does that even mean?

It means, it means...

It means, I love you.

What?

Yeah.

I love you.

No, you don't.

Yeah, I do.

-I'm sorry, I do.
-You don't. You don't know me.

You...

-You don't.
-Yes, I do.

I know that you...

I know that you feel like shit that you
weren't there when your mother died.

I know that you've never been
able to forgive yourself for it.

I know that you cheat so no
one else can hurt you first.

And that you leave, you know,

when you feel like you're
being loved too much.

I know you, Sarah.

But I also know that you love
eating fast food cheeseburgers,

and I know that you love
traveling alone like I do.

I see you, Sarah.

I see you.

And I love you.

And not some idea of you.
I love you. All of you.

Maybe you feel that way right
now, but what about tomorrow?

What about next week?
What about next month?

Once you... Once you have me?

Really have me. Then what?

Then we have a cup of tea.

We keep it simple. We lie
in the grass, we read books.

We dance, Sarah. We
just... we dance.

I mean, that life that
we imagined up there...

Was a fantasy, David.

-I refuse to believe that.
-It's a thing we made up.

I refuse to believe that.

Because this is what you do.

You do this. You, like,
relentlessly chase after someone

because you think they're
gonna make you happy.

And then when you get them
you don't want them anymore.

No, no, no. Yeah, I've
done that in the past.

But that's not
what this is about.

This isn't about
the chase, Sarah.

It's not about using you as a
distraction from my bullshit.

I mean, it's not even
about being happy.

It's about...

It's about believing.

That's what this is about. For
the first time, maybe ever.

It's about believing
that it's possible.

What is?

To share a life.

It's just not worth
the risk for me.

I'm sorry.

I mean, it's...

It's okay.

I don't wanna upset you.

It's okay.

Thanks for the clothes.

I... I fixed your exploded car.

How?

It happens more than you think.

Why did you have to fix it?

Because there's more
to do, isn't there?

Yeah.

These are a gift from
The Car Rental Agency.

But it's not raining.

-Okay.
-Okay.

You'll arrive at Kiki's
Travel Plaza in 21 miles.

Drop off Sarah.

Sarah, are you ready to continue
your big, bold, beautiful journey?

No. I'm...

I'm done. I'm done.

You can do this. In
500 feet, take exit 57.

I said I'm done,
motherfucker. I'm done!

Sarah, come on. Take the
next exit, 58-B and...

No.

Recalculating.

Come on, Sarah. Let's
finish this out.

In one point five
miles, take exit 59-A.

Shut up!

Shut the fuck up!

In one point five
miles, take exit 59-A.

Thanks, I just...

I just need to go home.

I just want to go home.

All right, Sarah.

You'll reach home in one
hour and 33 minutes...

-Okay.
-...with normal traffic.

Thank you.

Recalculating.

I just want to go home.

All right, David.

You'll reach home in one hour and
33 minutes with normal traffic.

Thank you.

You are home.

Wrong home, asshole.

Fuck.

Where'd you go?

For a walk.

You're wet!

He's...

He's upstairs.

Who's upstairs?

Our son.

Our son?

What's wrong, honey?

"Honey"?

Sorry, how old am I?

You're 57.

57.

What's this all about?

I'm Dad.

Yeah, you're his dad. And
he needs you right now.

That awful girl crushed him.

She's not an awful girl, Mom.

Darling.

-Just go talk to him.
-Okay.

Mom?

Mom?

Hey, kiddo.

-Hi.
-You're not dead.

Well, what the hell kind
of thing is that to say?

Mom.

Hi.

Everything okay?

How old am I?

-Did you hit your head or something?
-Just, how old?

You're 12, silly.

I have the mashed
potatoes ready.

Let's eat.

Mom?

I know how tired you are, but...

What is it, honey?

Would you mind watching
the movie with me?

Of course.

Did you think I'd let
you watch all alone?

Oh, Jesus. That's pathetic.

Dad?

Dad.

Yeah.

I'm your... dad.

Are you disappointed in me?

No.

No, I'm... I'm...

I'm sorry you're hurting.

It sucks.

Do you remember when...

when Mom was away in the States?

I was 11.

It was just you
and me for a month.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I never told you this before.

I heard you crying one night.

It was late, and
you were sobbing.

I didn't know what to do. I'd
never heard you cry before.

And I wanted to comfort you.

But I was...

Scared?

Yeah.

I wanna go home.

I miss my family, Susan,
and I wanna go home.

Oh, my God! You're married!

No!

I knew that this was...

Mom?

What is it, sweetheart?

Can we pretend that I'm older?

-You're good at pretending.
-Yeah, I know.

I want you to pretend with me.

That sounds fun. When?

Now.

-Now?
-Yeah, right now.

Okay.

Begin pretending to be older.

I'm bad with men, Mom.

You're really getting into it.

Where did you even hear
that phrase, sweetheart?

Just pretend with me, okay?

I'm bad with men, Mom.

-Why would you say that?
-'Cause I am.

So am I.

I know.

Why? Why is that?

Oh, I wish I knew.

I wish I knew it.

I'm still trying
to figure that out.

It's okay. It's okay. I know.

When I'm sad, or angry,

feels like the world
might fall apart.

That's the world, David. You
know, it's messy, shitty.

It's full of uncertainty.

But...

they try to protect you from it.

They made a promise they would.

They?

We.

We made that promise.

For better and for worse.

And maybe...

maybe it was for worse.

I don't know.

Your mom and dad
love you very much.

Yeah.

I have to leave in the morning.

Well, I know. For school.

We're still pretending.

Oh, okay.

Where are you headed?

To the city.

Wow.

Miss Big Shot.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

I'm scared I'm not gonna
be a good adult, Mom.

You know, sweetheart,

you are capable of being
content in this life.

You just have to choose it.

What about being happy?

You can make yourself
crazy trying to be happy.

Be content first.

Choose to be content.

And enjoy the moments of
happiness that come from that.

Okay.

Can we stop pretending now?

Why?

Because I want
you to tuck me in.

-Snuggy bunny.
-Night.

Good night, sweetheart.

Bye, Mom.

Fuck, yeah! Still got it.

You win!

When did you get so
good at this game?

Wanna play again?

No.

I'm actually... exhausted.

There's something I've been wanting
to tell you for a while now.

What is it?

You should know that...

...you're special.

You tell me that all the time.

Yeah, I know.

Did your phone crap out on you?

It did indeed.

I told you. You would
have been fucked.

Oh, I was fucked anyway many times
over, but I think it worked out okay.

Did you meet anyone on the way?

Is that what you do here?

You rent cars and fuck lives?

Hey. Hey, hey.

Fuck lives?

No. I... I just m...

Is this some kind of...

...soulmate service?

Oh, I like that.

Me, too.

Wouldn't that be nice?

Some service that would just find
the exact right person for you?

Would make life so much easier.

It would.

So, you weren't trying
to match me and...

Stacy Dunn. No.

She never picked up her car.

What is this still doing here?

So, Sarah was...

Oh, she came last minute.

Fortunately, Stacy's
car was available.

Sarah made a good understudy.

I love that!

Me, too.

She hasn't been back yet? Sarah?

No.

Thank you.

Anytime.

You have arrived at
your final destination.

Please return your car.

Is this my destination?

It depends, Sarah.

How do you want this to end?

How'd you find me?

GPS.

I want to say
something now, and...

it's something that I've been thinking,
and I just want to hear my mouth say it.

You are worth the risk.

I know you might hurt me, and...

I mean, I would be
devastated if you left me,

and I would be devastated
if I left you first.

And I know both things are a
possibility, and that scares me, deeply.

You might think you know
how deep, but you don't.

But if anyone ever were to
know, I would want it to be you.

I think...

I think we could be
content together.

And in love.

Because I am in love with you.

You got one more door in you?

I could do one more door.

Come on.
