Good morning.

Wow. What are you making?

I'm trying to mix it up a little.

sunny-side, scrambled,

and something I'm calling...

baked poached.

Nice.

You need anything from inside?

Um...

- No, I'm good. - All right.

What are you doing?

Flipping over the silverware.

Why?

Well, you want the tines up.

They get cleaner that way.

Wait, do you always do this?

Not always.

Just when you load the dishwasher.

But I almost always load it.

Yeah.

So...

how many times would you say you've done this?

I don't know, probably, uh,

I guess 10,000?

That's crazy.

Why haven't you ever said anything?

Well, I feel like what would happen is,

I'd say, "Hey, June, I read in Real Simple magazine

that the tines should go up," and you'd say, "Okay."

And then you'd do it for a week,

and then you'd forget, and then I'd say,

"Hey, June, remember that thing about the tines?"

And you'd say, "Oh, I know."

And then you'd forget again, and then I'd remind you.

And then you'd say, "Oh, I know."

And then, you know, I'm the nag,

and then you're mad,

so it's just easier if I do it myself, right?

Wow.

It is disturbing the lengths you will go

to avoid confrontation.

All right, well,

I'm just moving forks, so it takes five seconds.

But I'll stop doing nice things because it seems to upset you.

Hey. What are you doing right now?

Uh, I was either gonna jerk off or draw a picture of a car.

Oh, I didn't know you were an artist.

What do you want?

I don't know, I thought we could, uh, hang out.

You want to play shuffleboard?

We do that in the afternoon.

Where's June?

Ah, she's just at home. She's doing her own thing.

Oh, you guys in a fight? You catch her with another guy?

No.

And why would you jump to that?

I don't know. I caught my mom

in my neighbor's garage once.

She said they were practicing golf swings, but...

they didn't have any clubs.

Ugh, now I don't feel like jerking off.

Let's just go, all right?

Great.

You know what, uh, I don't want to play shuffleboard.

- Let's go back to my house. - Hey, who are those people?

Nobody.

- I'm gonna go say hi. - No, don't.

Look, there's someone over there I don't want to run into.

Why?

I don't know, I guess I...

...I kind of like her, so...

- What? - I guess I kind of like her.

Mark, that's wonderful.

Suck my dick. I'm leaving.

No, that's great. Wait, wait.

Does this person know that you like them?

No, we don't really know each other.

We're gonna fix that.

- Let's go over there. - Absolutely not.

Listen.

You have to be willing to take risks.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

Wayne Gretzky.

Who the fuck is Wayne Gretzky?

Oh, right, well, in the '80s,

he was the most famous hockey player in the world.

I don't love sports, but I do love quotes,

and that's a good one.

- Why are we friends? - Because.

We make each other laugh. Come on.

Come on!

Fuck!

God.

Ah!

Hey.

I saw you. It's fine.

Come back up for a second.

Hi.

Do you know how to use a sewing machine?

Oh, kind of.

Good, just... can you come over here?

I'm not gonna hurt you. I just need some help.

Right. Which one is she?

Oh, redhead? Cool.

No, not her. Her.

Her name's Heather Jacoby.

Okay, a little more mature than I expected.

Yeah, she was a junior when I was a freshman.

Wow.

Just, um, processing all of this.

She was the coolest girl in the whole school.

She was in a band, Gold Diamond.

She had this leather jacket,

and she would smoke cigarettes behind the portables.

Probably doesn't remember me at all.

This is a bad idea. Let's go.

No, no, no. Wait, wait.

If you feel like you have a connection with her,

you should at least go talk to her.

She would never go for me.

I mean, she dated Mike Fredell. He was a total badass.

He put LSD in our principal's coffee.

- Oh, my God. - Yeah.

It did permanent brain damage.

I'll never do anything that cool.

Yes, you will.

You're the coolest guy in this whole town.

- I guess I am. - Yeah.

We're the two coolest guys here.

No contest.

She's definitely gonna remember you.

Come on.

Hey there. Hi, how are you?

Hi. I'm...I'm doing okay.

Good. This is Mark.

You probably recognize him, though.

Um, I'm not sure that I do.

Told you she wouldn't remember me.

That's okay.

You guys went to the same high school.

He's a little younger than you.

I had a Camaro.

Oh. Oh, oh, yeah.

You were the kid that crashed his car

up on Canyon Crest, right?

Wow.

Well, we all got a day off thanks to you.

- Really? That rules. - Mm-hmm.

Yeah, a bunch of us were gonna go to the beach,

and then... oh, then it rained.

Ah, bummer.

- Yeah. - Yeah, wow.

Yeah, well, you guys must like the same stuff

from high school, right?

Like, uh, disco.

- You both love disco. - Fuck no, disco sucks.

Yeah, no, no, no. I'm more rock and roll.

- Oh. Uh-huh. - Do you like Thin Lizzy?

Oh, God, I love Thin Lizzy...

I went to a show once, and Brian Downey...

he threw me his drumstick.

- No way. - Wow.

Yeah, and then after, one of the roadies asked

if I wanted to go backstage and give Brian a blowjob.

I...I said no, but I might've said yes if it was Phil Lynott.

Shit, I would've said yes if it was Phil Lynott.

- Do...do you like Bad Company? - Oh, yeah.

And you know my favorite Bad Company song?

"Bad Company" from the album Bad Company.

- Oh, I love that one. - Yeah, it was a simpler time.

Um, this is going really great,

so maybe you guys wanna meet up somewhere later,

and, you know, I don't know, hang out and talk?

Yeah, I...I guess we could. What'd you have in mind, Mark?

I don't know, we could go to my house and listen to music.

I have some pretty great records.

All right, yeah, that sounds like fun.

- Come over around 5:00? - Yeah.

- See you then. - Yeah.

- Dude. - Nice job.

These things always...

jam up.

What were you doing?

Well, I took all my bras,

cut them up, and I'm sewing them into a giant superbra.

What? Why?

I'm off bras. I'm dead.

I don't need this shit anymore.

Well, it should work now.

- Ah! - So what were you making?

Like, two giant cups?

Yeah, I told you. It's a superbra.

Wow, you're actually pretty good.

I was always embarrassed to say this,

but home ec was my favorite class in seventh grade.

But then Candice Hobbs started a rumor

that I blow-dried my pubes, so I switched classes.

And did you?

- Did I what? - Blow-dry your pubes.

I definitely didn't...

until the rumor started,

and then I thought, I may as well give this a try.

I can't believe Candice outlived me.

- She was such a little bitch. - Yeah.

There was this woman at my work. Theresa.

- God, she was the worst. - What did she do?

Well, she always parked too close to my car.

So one day, I asked her to stop.

Then she started parking closer and closer,

so I went to HR, and they gave me a new space

over by legal.

Fuck, my life was boring.

Yeah, that's a terrible story.

I know. My gosh.

Well, it's not boring anymore, because we made this.

This is so beautiful.

This belongs in a museum. If there were a museum here,

- I would put that in it. - Oh, we have one.

The bra museum is two streets away.

- You haven't been there yet? - No, I have not.

I'll be sure to check it out, though.

I gotta get going.

Can I show you something?

Can you be more specific?

Well, we have to go pretty far outside town,

but it's worth it.

I don't know if I can.

Why?

I don't know.

I just can't.

Oscar will be home soon.

Okay.

All right.

- Thank you. - Thank you. That was fun.

Yeah.

Are these posters in the right order?

Should the bike stay on the left,

or should I put the lady above the bike

so it looks like she's riding it?

Uh, I think it's okay as it is.

I wouldn't worry too much.

I'm just gonna take them down.

Well, now that looks weird.

Do we have time to paint the whole wall, to even it out?

I think you're overthinking this a little bit.

Have you ever been on a date before, Mark?

I was failing math once, and the teacher made

a smart girl come over and tutor me,

and she was wearing a tight shirt, and I got a boner.

Does that count?

Yeah, we'll count it.

Maybe I should just cancel.

We're from different worlds.

I wasn't a loser or anything,

but she was, like, another level.

She used to go off campus for lunch.

I get what you're going through.

When I first met June, she was so cool.

She had this part of her ear pierced.

Whoa, way up there?

That's crazy. How'd you land her?

Well, she'd been dating a lot of good-looking guys.

Like, really good-looking, but...

they were jerks.

I was the first guy who was really good to her.

I listened. We got closer.

Then one night over at Rubio's Fish Tacos,

I said that I liked her laugh.

She kissed me.

We've been together ever since.

So that's your advice?

Be nice? That's it?

Well, think of it this way.

Every relationship needs a peacekeeper.

In our marriage, that's me.

Someday, when you've been with someone for a while,

you'll figure out that the less you rock the boat,

the smoother everything goes.

All right? Calm seas.

What the fuck you talking about?

Should the dirt bike go back up or not?

- Put the bike on the right. - Thank you.

Jesus Christ.

Hey.

Hey.

What was that thing you wanted to show me?

How are you doing? You all right?

Not doing great.

Yeah, I'm tired too.

That's 'cause we're so far from the fountain.

We're almost there.

What is it we're looking for?

Watch this guy.

Ew.

Have a nice day.

A smile wouldn't kill you, honey.

Ugh.

You needed to see what he's like, so...

you know why I don't feel so bad about doing this.

Whoo.

What did you do?

I juiced him. Or he juiced me.

- I guess. - What is that?

If you touch Currents in a certain way,

you can take a little bit of energy from them.

Remember how tired I just was?

- Yeah. - I feel pretty good now.

The downside is, you do take that energy from them.

But when it's a piece of shit like this,

I don't feel so bad.

Wow.

You should try it.

I don't know. It seems wrong.

Nothing really happens to him long-term...

I don't think.

Try to feel for his pulse.

Okay.

Using this as a guide,

try and get on the same wavelength as him,

if that makes sense.

Close your eyes if it helps.

He just feels gross and clammy.

Uh, okay, maybe this will help.

What are you doing?

Just relax.

Now try and make it feel like you're breathing him in

through your hand.

Ooh, ooh, wait. Mama feeling something.

Keep...keep going.

I told you not to call me. It's not my weekend.

Ugh, well, then feed him some chicken nuggets, bitch.

- Holy shit! - Whoa.

- What did you do? - He made me mad!

I've never made him pass out like that.

- Is he okay? - Yeah, he's still breathing.

He'll be okay.

Oh, my God, do you feel that?

Yeah, I sure do.

Oh, it's so nice out.

So pretty.

Ooh, watch this. Ready?

- Yeah. - Watch.

Does it look like I'm kissing him?

You know what's funny?

He doesn't know what's happening.

Oh, yeah, baby.

What is that, the cheap unleaded?

Yeah, that's how I like it.

Hey, where are you going?

Can you please get me some Twizzlers?

I love you.

He doesn't like you anymore.

Oh, my God, this feels so good.

- Hey. - What?

Do you ever see faces in things?

What do you mean?

You see this electricity meter?

And the two dial-y things are the eyes...

and the pipe is the mouth.

Oh.

- I know. - Aww, he's cute.

I love this game.

I know.

Look, there's one over here.

- Where? - Look. That mop.

See, it's like a... an angry lady with crazy hair.

Yeah. Ohh.

That is good.

That is...you are good.

That was a really good. That's way better than that.

I agree.

Are you the kind of person who's really good at things

the first time you try them?

No one has ever said that to me before.

- No way. - I swear.

Yes, you are. You're so good at this,

and you are good at sewing, and you're good

at juicing the fuck out of that asshole in there.

- That's true. - Yeah.

Hey, do you think anyone ever juiced us

when we were Currents?

I don't know. Maybe.

I did always get tired at, like, 3:00 p.m.

but I also ate a lot of burritos at lunch.

Oh hey, uh,

I brought out some Reggie! Bars if..if you want any.

Oh, wow.

They stopped making these years ago.

Yeah, they just show up in my kitchen.

A lot of broccoli shows up for me.

I don't even like it that much. Gives me gas.

Hmm.

So did anything ever happen with Gold Diamond?

- You guys were the best. - Oh, no.

No, I mean, we played a few shows, but then...

Jenny tried to have sex with Steve,

and then Steve had sex with Josh,

and the whole thing just fell apart.

So my uncle helped me get a job at the gas company.

I was there for 35 years.

- Cool. - Yeah.

Even though you were a couple years ahead of me,

we had to know some of the same people.

Did you know the Colito brothers?

- Oh, yeah, I knew Rocky. - I knew Ricky.

Why would you name your kids Ricky and Rocky? I don't...

I know, and they had a sister who was also named Riki.

R-I-K-I.

That's insane.

What ended up happening to them?

Rocky got a girl pregnant and dropped out

to work at a car dealership.

- Did you know Gina Levesque? - Yeah, yeah, I did.

- What happened to her? - She got pregnant

and dropped out.

- Carrie Sowalski? - Pregnant and dropped out.

- Lisa Fargus? - Pregnant,

but she stayed in school.

She went into labor in fifth period.

- I did not like Lisa Fargus. - Yeah, no.

I think she and her friends keyed my Camaro.

And I took really good care of that car until...

- You know. - Yeah.

If you don't my asking, what happened?

It's not much of story, really.

I was going to the grocery store for my mom,

and I reached down to change the station on the radio,

and I looked back up, and that was it.

How'd you go?

Lung cancer. Nothing too interesting.

All those cigarettes, they ended up costing me

in the long run.

Well, if it makes you feel any better,

they did make you look really cool.

It's why every guy in the school had a crush on you.

- That's not true. - Seriously.

You were every freshman guy's dream.

Stop.

I used to draw pictures of you.

Not naked or anything.

That's creepy. I shouldn't have said that.

That's okay. We were kids.

Do you want to listen to some records?

Yeah, sure.

Oh, my God. Oh, I love this song.

Cool.

This is weird, but...

do you wanna dance, maybe?

Sure.

Check you out.

♪ But I kept on looking for a sign ♪

You figured it out.

Is he talking to us?

Can you see us?

Where are you headed?

We're going home.

Seems to me you're headed the wrong way.

Uh, no, Riverside is back that way.

Didn't say it wasn't.

Just said,

"You're headed the wrong way."

What are you talking about?

There's another place. You might find it interesting.

Where is it? What is it?

Oh, down the road.

If you're looking for answers, you might walk along with me.

Uh...

I don't...I don't know.

Oh, come on, come on. You're not even curious?

We should at least check it out.

He's saying there's another place.

- This is huge. - We don't even know

who this guy is.

Sir?

Who are you? What is your name?

You're still thinking the wrong way.

All right, I'm not doing this.

Oscar's back at home. We can't just wander off...

...with some creepy dude.

This might be our only chance to do this,

and get some more answers.

Why don't I go home, get Oscar,

come back, and we can talk about this?

This place isn't for him.

It's for you.

Come on, June.

We know what's back home.

And here's this guy saying all this cool shit.

Come on. Let's go.

I can't.

You are bored in Riverside. I'm bored in Riverside.

Why do you think that is?

I don't know.

Well, maybe there's a reason.

Maybe the two of us don't belong there.

Come on.

Let's go. Let's go.

Please.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

Oscar would never do that to me.

But if you want to go,

I...I understand.

No, I want to stay with you.

I'll walk you home.

Well, if you change your mind, come back this way.

All roads lead to Oceanside.

Hey.

How'd it go? I was a nervous wreck.

Well, we talked about high school.

Everyone's lives ended up pretty shitty.

I'm actually kind of glad I died.

Great. Sounds like a good start.

Then we listened to records and we danced a little bit.

- That's amazing. - Yeah.

Then she started talking about her husband, Ray.

- Oh. - Yeah, they were married

for 40 years or something, so...

she's hoping that when he dies, he ends up here, like June did.

So I think we're just gonna be friends.

Oh.

Oh, man.

Sorry about that, buddy.

That's fine.

It just sucks 'cause we had a really good time.

She's so cool.

Sometimes I think about

how I'll never find someone that cool for me, you know?

Hey, that's not true.

It's the fucking Bee Gees' fault.

They were on the radio the night I crashed my car,

and they were so shitty, I had to look down

and change the station.

Look, I know you and June have a lot of problems.

- I don't know about a lot. - But you're lucky she's here.

No one else here has that.

Everyone's alone.

Why do you two get to be together?

I don't know.

Anyways, you were...you were right

about where to put the bike poster.

I think I'm gonna leave it that way.

Great.

Well, I'd love to make you a chocolate sundae

to make you feel better.

Jesus, no.

I'm leaving.

- Rain check? - No.

Hey.

Where have you been?

Oh, out for a walk.

Just...lost track of time.

Ah, okay.

Well, there's something I wanted to show you.

I didn't like that we were fighting earlier,

so I found a solution.

Okay.

"Tines up."

And there's a little fork guy pointing to an alarm clock.

You know, like time... tine, time.

And, you know, it's facing up.

And, you know, it's a play on words.

Right. I got it.

So now, whoever puts the utensils away...

could be you, could be me...

will remember to put it back the right way.

Well, I appreciate the sign,

but you do know that earlier,

we weren't just talking about forks, right?

Yeah, I know that, but...

this is about the forks.

What's wrong?

I feel like maybe you're not getting how I'm feeling.

Okay, then tell me.

I feel trapped.

What do you mean?

I mean, we are actually trapped here.

We can't go too far from the fountain.

I'm sorry, that's just how it works here.

How do we know there's not something else

- out there? - Like what? What?

I don't know, something, anything.

I've never heard anyone talk about anything else.

It's safe here. It's nice.

So you're telling me that if you heard

there was anywhere else,

you still wouldn't go?

I don't know.

I like where we are.

It's not so bad. Look at this house.

Look at the flow from the kitchen to the living room.

- It's seamless. - I love this house.

It's very well-decorated.

And the bathroom here is way better than what we had,

but it is not about the house.

We do the same things every single day,

and I don't see it changing

literally forever.

That bothers me.

Well, I think you're being selfish.

- What? - Everyone in this

neighborhood, they're alone, right?

- Oh, my God. - Think about that.

We're the only ones... we're together.

We should be grateful.

I am trying to tell you how I feel.

Well, I think how you feel

is wrong.

How can you even say that to me?

I don't understand how you can't just be happy.

What do you want me to do?

I don't know.

I don't know either.
