- Oh, yeah.

Let me see.

I wanna just yank it!

(Lily laughs)

- [Ava] Hello, hello, hello, hello!

- No...

I still get her pudding.

- Excusez-moi?

- Where you been?

- Wonderful seeing you, too.

Been at yoga.

And...

A little surprise for you.

Ta da! (Lily squeals)

Haha, yes, for the play!

- [Lily] The rock opera.

- The rock opera.

- What play?

- [Ava] The... - [Lily] Rock opera.

- [Ava] You don't...

You don't remember?

She uh, she won the role of the wolf

in Rock and Red Riding Hood, didn't you?

It's really special. - [Thomas] Mmm.

Right, I remember, it's awesome.

It's awesome.

- Really awesome, so what I was thinking is,

after dinner maybe we could all have a little rehearsal?

- [Lily] Yeah. - [Ava] Yeah?

- [Lily] I'll be in charge,

you can be Red...

Momma, you can be Granny.

- I will be wrinkly old Granny.

- Mmm, you know what, though?

I have a lot of work to do,

so your mom can play that role.

- But, we need two people.

- Yeah, we need two people.

- I'm sorry, sweetheart,

but I have a really intense deadline.

- What kind of deadline?

- For work.

(Lily whimpers)

- Hey, hey... (Thomas sighs)

Lily Bear, come here.

Did Daddy upset you? Come here.

(groans) Getting heavy.

(Lily whimpers)

What's wrong, sweetheart, wanna tell Momma?

Well, can I...

Do you mind if I share that with Daddy?

- [Lily] Yeah.

- Okay, well Lily was saying that it's really important

to her to practice this as a family, the three of us, so...

What do you say, Daddy?

- [Lily] Yeah, like that.

Come on, Daddy!

Now arabesque, arabesque.

Daddy! Keep dancing!

- You look like a mental patient.

- Go lean!

- [Ava] I think you should

put a little bit more effort into it.

- All right, I think I'm done, now.

(Lily grunts)

- Babe, you just missed your line--

- Would you stop being so fucking rude!

(music twangs)

(knocking at door)

- Dad?

Do you need some privacy?

- Yeah.

- Did I upset you?

- No.

No, honey, you didn't.

- It's okay.

Remember, I used to be a bad dancer.

But I practice and practice.

And I know some day

you will be a good dancer too, Dad.

- Yeah, you think?

All right.

I'll practice more.

(Ava cries) Shut the fuck up.

Shut the fuck up.

- [Ava] Ow! (cries)

(Thomas moans) (bed frame rattles)

- Oh, my God. (whimpers)

- [Thomas] Uh-oh...

(both breathe heavily)

Come on my face.

Why, why is it doing that?

- Babe, come on my fucking face.

Come on my tits.

- [Thomas] Thank you, sir. - [Geraldine] Oh,

- [Geraldine] I love your work.

- [Thomas] This is an amazing man.

- [Geraldine] I know.

- [Scott] Bullshit, bullshit.

- [Geraldine] He's very amazing.

- I need to borrow him for a second.

I got something to show you.

- [Thomas] All right. - [Geraldine] Oh.

- [Scott] It's awesome. - [Thomas] Okay.

- [Geraldine] It's gonna be magical.

- It's gonna be magical.

- [Thomas] Okay.

- You wait here, baby.

- [Geraldine] Okay.

- Isn't, aren't those great tits?

- [Geraldine] Oh. - [Scott] Right?

(Scott mumbles) (Geraldine laughs breathily)

- He's so sweet.

- [Scott] Man, it's just self control.

- [Thomas] How do you get that?

- Choose to have self control.

To be in control, you know? - [Thomas] Yeah.

- [Scott] You make that choice final.

- Yeah.

- It's a maturity factor, it's the upper level.

- I know, I feel like a fucking child, man,

I've been acting like a boy.

- That's because you have been.

- I've been acting like a fucking boy.

- You're my friend, but I mean...

- I know.

- You've been acting like a fucking kid.

- I know.

I just uh...

I need to make the choice.

(children chatter and squeal) - [Ms Sanders] Ava!

Hi!

- Hey...

- [Ms Sanders] I was hoping I would catch you.

- [Ava] Ah.

- How've you been?

- [Ava] I've been good. - [Ms Sanders] Yeah?

- [Ava] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Is everything okay at home, or...

- Everything's great.

- [Lily] Momma! Momma!

- Hey!

Get your little tushie in here.

- [Ms Sanders] She was so good in school, today.

- Ah, good to hear.

Hey, hey, I have a really good idea.

- [Lily] Mmhmm?

- I am thinking you, me and Dad,

Mexican dinner tonight!

- [Lily] Yeah! - [Ava] Yeah!

- I want a quesadilla.

- Oh, of course you want quesadilla,

you always want quesadilla. (Lily laughs)

- All right, I uh...

We should get the boys together soon.

- Yeah!

That sounds awesome.

- [Lily] Bye, Miss Sanders! (tires squeal)

We did in 1st and 2nd grade,

we're going into 4th grade, it was really easy.

- It was?

- But, it was uh--

- What's four times four?

- 16.

- Eight sevens.

- What?

- Eight times seven.

- 56?

- Yeah.

Nine sevens.

- What, nine times seven?

- Yeah.

- Uh, I know this.

I do know it.

- [Ava] No you don't... - [Lily] Yes, I do.

- [Ava] No, you don't. - [Lily] Yes, I do.

- "Willing in each task I do,

"please help me to be good every day,

"and lead me in thy holy way.

"I pray whatever wrongs I've done,

"you'll forgive them, every one by one.

"Be near me when I wake again,

"and bless all those I love, amen."

Mommy loves you so much.

- [Lily] Momma?

- Yeah?

- [Lily] You should love Daddy.

(knock on door jamb)

- Have you been a naughty boy?

My name's Officer Cooper,

and I'm here to teach you a lesson.

Disco fever! (laughs)

Ow!

Sorry, babe.

Have you, or have you not,

been a bad boy?

Have you?

- Yes, ma'am, I've been a bad boy.

- Oh, that's what I thought!

(Thomas sighs)

And do you know what happens to bad boys?

- What?

- They get punished!

On your stomach. - [Thomas] No, baby...

- [Ava] That's right, whoo!

Oh, yeah. - [Thomas] Ah, fuck!

- [Ava] Don't you even try to fuck with me, boy.

So, son...

You gonna tell me what you done wrong?

(Ava squeals) - Ah!

I just got the dates for New York.

- Oh yeah?

When do you go?

- Looks like I could leave,

uh, late Friday or early Saturday morning.

- Oh.

Um...

Did you see Phoebe's tweet?

- I look at my wife and my daughter

and I feel like I could just walk away.

Just like that.

- [Voiceover] Have you acted on these feelings?

- Yeah.

(tablet chimes) No, baby, turn the sound off.

(Ava imitates heavy footsteps)

- Whoa, steady on.

(imitates heavy footsteps)

Well, um...

You know, it's been great, I've been really lucky.

I'm really fortunate, actually,

because I'm able to fit into dresses

from back in my movie star days,

such as this one, this one's my favorite.

Sort of like an emerald green color.

I love this little section, little peekaboo.

It's really beautiful.

And when you're feeling extra fatty,

you can go like this.

(imitates explosion)

- [Ava] Hey! - [Thomas] Hello.

- [Thomas] It's, uh, Cooper, we got a table for two.

- [Michelle] Thomas, right?

- Yeah.

- [Michelle] Michelle.

Yeah, you said you'd help me out with head shots.

- Michelle and her head shots, whoo!

- Yeah, I guess.

I don't really remember her, though.

- Mmm, cool, cool.

- [Waiter] Hi, how are you?

- Oh, hi, perfect timing, thank you.

(speaks foreign language)

(waiter speaks foreign language)

- [Ava] Haha, I don't know what that means.

- [Waiter] So, what would you like to drink, today?

- [Ava] Sake. - [Waiter] Sake?

- [Ava] Sake, big bottle.

- [Waiter] Not a case, uh...

- When do you get back?

- I get back on Tuesday.

- Oh, God.

- Four days too many.

- Oh, but do you know what?

It's gonna go by like a rocket ship.

- And my daughter told me, you know,

"I'm gonna go stay with Grandma if you don't stop drinking."

And uh, I said some pretty harsh things to her, you know.

And then, she poured out all my alcohol,

and I did not like that, not one bit.

You know...

Not one bit.

It was the best thing that ever happened to me.

- Don't let us scare you away

with all of our craziness.

- No.

- [Naja] Thomas? Hi.

- Hi.

- [Naja] Hey, jump in.

- Great, thank you.

- [Naja] So sorry we took so long, traffic was horrible.

- Oh, no worries.

- Well, welcome to New York.

- Thank you, yeah.

- I know you spent a lot of time here before, but...

- I have, it's been awhile, though.

Haven't been here in about six months.

- Oh, nice.

- Yeah.

- Everything's locked up, just shut the door behind you.

It was nice meeting you.

- It's nice to meet you.

- Have fun, bye.

- Thank you. (door bell jingles)

- [Penny] Ava come here, I wanna show you something.

It's okay.

You see her?

Take a look.

It's still gonna be there when you get home.

(Ava laughs)

- Uh, what?

- LA to New York,

it's like six hours to be in the same country.

- Yeah.

We're uh, staying at the Rivington, right?

- Yeah, yeah, have you stayed there before?

- I did, actually, I uh...

Stayed there a few years back

when they first opened.

It's great.

- Yeah, it's nice.

We got you a really nice room there.

You should be very comfortable.

- Yeah.

- You got a husband, not sure if he loves you.

Not even sure if you know what love is.

Probably have a child.

And you wonder if you're really

up to the responsibility.

You remind me a lot of someone I know.

- I just want things to be perfect.

- Perfect.

- [Naja] Are you hungry, at all?

- [Thomas] Yeah, I am, I could eat.

- [Naja] Okay, well, we'll work something out for you.

- [Thomas] Okay. - [Naja] We'll get you

checked in, first.

- Are you, hungry?

- [Naja] Haha, yeah, I can always eat.

- That's good.

I like a girl who can always eat.

- Eight three three five.

- [Thomas] Three three five.

- [Thomas] Great. - [Naja] Great.

- [Naja] All right, just give me a call, any time.

- [Thomas] I will. - [Naja] Okay.

- [Thomas] I'll hit you up later.

- All righty, bye.

- [Thomas] Thank you, Naja.

- Everything as always, just a quick initial there.

- [Thomas] All right. (elevator dings)

- Hi.

- [Thomas] Hey.

- I called you earlier.

- [Thomas] Yeah, I know, I'm sorry.

I was just, uh...

In the car with the people who picked me up,

and they were being super chatty, and...

I just needed a moment to decompress.

- I was worried.

- [Thomas] Well, there's no need to worry.

- [Ava] How is it?

- [Thomas] Eh, it's the same.

Everything's pretty much the same.

Pretty sure we had the same fucking room before.

- [Ava] What are you gonna do, tonight?

- [Thomas] I think I'm just gonna go to sleep soon.

- Okay.

I've been doing some reorganizing today, so, um...

Probably gonna

end up doing that the rest of the night.

Um...

Call me later, before bed.

- [Thomas] Okay, I will.

- Baby?

- [Thomas] Yeah?

- [Ava] Nothing.

- You sure?

- [Ava] Yeah, yep.

I'm good.

- All right.

Well I love you.

- [Ava] I love you, too.

I miss you. (phone beeps)

(Thomas sighs)

(phone beeps)

- [Thomas] Hey.

(pool balls clack) - I didn't wanna

drink in my room by myself, so I...

I've been trying to teach myself how to play pool.

- [Thomas] All right, well what are you, what are you,

solids or stripes? - [Rosario] It's not

- [Rosario] going well. I am solids.

Balls.

- I uh, watch your films in hotel rooms

around the world by myself.

- [Rosario] That would be creepy.

(both laugh)

- Are you fucking kidding me?

- I'm a shark, that's what it is.

- [Thomas] You are a shark. - [Rosario] I'm a shark,

- [Rosario] you just didn't even know it.

- All right, all right.

- Oh, no, it's my turn.

- Oh, the second turn.

- I get to go again, yeah, back up off me.

(pills rattle)

- What are you doing?

- I'm uh...

I'm throwing out these pills here,

that your Momma used to take.

- Are you sick?

- Um...

No, not anymore.

But my mind was a bit sick.

- Hm?

- Um...

My uh, my imagination would

kind of run off with the fairies, sometimes.

And um...

I would...

I would see things that weren't necessarily real.

- Like ghosts?

- Do you know what spririt is?

- Yeah.

It's who you are inside.

- Yeah.

That's right.

And...

I stopped knowing who I was inside.

And I just stayed all one mood.

I couldn't really feel much of anything.

And then you feel like you need these things,

and people convince you that you need them.

And they tell you that you're sick and then you believe it.

And the next thing you know you're 60 years old

and you've been taking them your whole life,

and you don't really know who you are without them, anymore.

So...

That is why, it's good that I'm throwing them out.

- I'm sorry that happened to you, Momma.

(tea kettle whistles)

- Is Ava gonna start acting, again?

- Well, you know, I don't think so.

She's uh... - [Rosario] Really?

- [Thomas] Yeah, she's...

- God, man, I think about her sometimes.

- [Thomas] Yeah, she's just not into it, anymore.

You know.

- Okay, well tell her how much I love her

and that I miss her, - [Thomas] Yeah.

- [Rosario] and I... - [Naja] Hey.

- [Thomas] Hey.

- [Rosario] I'd love to work with her.

- [Naja] Hey, I'm sorry. - [Thomas] Rosario.

- [Rosario] Hello.

- This is Naja.

- [Naja] Hi, I'm Naja, - [Rosario] Hi.

- [Naja] nice to meet you. - [Rosario] Nice to meet you.

- We're uh, we're working on a shoot,

together. - [Naja] Yeah.

- [Rosario] Oh, nice!

- [Thomas] Yeah. - [Rosario] Awesome.

- It's good to see you.

- I don't wanna interrupt this, I mean...

- [Thomas] No, I... - [Rosario] No.

- [Rosario] You know what? Um...

I'm gonna go to bed.

It's so good to see you.

- It's really good to see you.

- I miss you.

Tell Ava I will be calling her.

Holla at me. - [Thomas] I will.

- [Rosario] It'd be really cool to see you before you go.

- [Naja] Very nice to meet you.

- Have a great shoot tomorrow,

nice to meet you as well. - [Naja] Thank you.

- [Naja] Have a good night.

- You, too.

Say hi to Ava for me. - [Thomas] I will.

- [Rosario] And give Lily a squish for me.

- I will.

- Be good, babe.

- I will.

- Okay.

Good night.

- [Thomas] Good night. - [Naja] Good night.

- [Naja] You know, it's funny that you should mention that,

because uh, I'm the guy.

- No.

- Mmhmm.

- You're the guy?

- It's in my purse.

- Nice!

- Yeah, it's right there.

- Okay, I have a proposal for you.

- Oh, really?

- I think we should go upstairs to my room,

and we should take the marajuana out of your purse,

and we put it into...

some sort of... - [Naja] Some sort of...

- [Thomas] Some type of... - [Naja] device...

- [Naja] Contraption.

- [Thomas] Papers. - [Naja] Paper.

- [Thomas] Something like that.

And we smoke it. - [Naja] Paper?

Paper I have.

- [Thomas] You do? - [Naja] Yeah.

- [Thomas] That's great.

You wanna go upstairs?

- Uh...

You know what, let me think about this, for a second.

("The Quickness" by Moby)

(female singers vocalize)

(Naja yelps) - Ah!

Ah, come on!

You got, you can't do that, that's not in the rules.

- [Thomas] No, you can totally do that.

- What the--

- [Thomas] That's the crossover.

- [Naja] Oh, okay. - [Thomas] See?

(both laugh)

- [Naja] Okay, it's my turn.

- [Thomas] All right.

- [Naja] This is serious business, now.

- Okay.

- [Naja] Ready? - [Thomas] I'm ready.

- [Naja] Are you focused?

- [Thomas] I'm focused.

Oh, fuck.

(Naja grunts)

Uh-huh?

Mmhmm.

- Shit, you're good at this.

How about this? - [Thomas] What?

- [Naja] Boxers or briefs?

Ah! Gotcha.

- [Thomas] Boxers. Fuck.

- [Naja] Dogs or cats? - [Thomas] Dogs.

- [Naja] Gotcha! - [Thomas] Motherfucker.

(Naja laughs)

- [Naja] Coke or Pepsi?

(Naja is drowned out by music)

- Fuck! Ah!

You are...

(Naja laughs)

Way too good for me.

- I uh...

I have a boyfriend.

You have-- - [Thomas] Have a wife.

- [Naja] A wife, mmhmm. - [Thomas] That is true.

- [Thomas] That's true, but, you know...

There are other options.

- Really.

- Mmhmm, yeah.

We could just...

We could pretend that didn't exist.

Or...

Or we could just be in the present moment.

("Punchy" by Moby)

(bar patrons chatter)

- Um, hey!

Oh, my God, you are so incredibly beautiful in real life.

Like, (whistles)

Damn!

- [Ava] Baby? - [Thomas] Yeah.

- [Ava] Ew.

No.

Ew, no.

There's no way.

Do it again!

- Oh, hey, excuse me.

Are you drinking tonight?

You are drinking.

Oh, my God, your tits are fucking huge in real life!

I remember when I first saw you

in Take Me Home Tonight,

and they cut to your boobs and I was like, "Whoa!"

Then they cut to your face and I was like, "Oh, no!"

Boo! (Ava screeches)

- You are the biggest creep, ever.

Try that again, and, can I tell you something?

For real?

If you don't do it properly, no sex tonight, buddy.

No penis in the vagina. (Thomas sighs)

Hey, Brad, good to see you, long time.

- [Thomas] Hey, excuse me. - [Ava] Hey.

- [Thomas] Are you the girl from uh,

Warm Bodies? - [Ava] Warm Bodies, I am.

- [Ava] Yes, I am.

Pretty good movie, huh?

- An amazing movie.

Hey, I'm Thomas Cooper,

I think I'm meant to shoot you next weekend.

- Well hello, Thomas Cooper.

- I'm a really big fan of yours.

- That's funny, I'm a big fan of yours, too.

- [Thomas] Really? - [Ava] Yeah.

- [Thomas] You know what?

- What?

- I think I'm gonna marry you, one day.

- That's funny, I was um,

I was thinking that?

But I didn't wanna say it.

'Cause I thought that might be a bit presumptuous.

- [Thomas] Really? - [Ava] Yeah!

- [Thomas] Let's get married, then.

(heavy dance beat) (patrons talk and laugh)

- [Naja] Okay, guys? Thomas Cooper.

- Hello.

Hi.

- [Thomas] Hi. - [Mabel] Mabel.

- Hi, Mabel.

- [Mabel] Hi. - [Thomas] Hi.

And we're shooting in his place tomorrow.

- Great.

- [Christian] Thomas Cooper, been a huge fan!

- [Thomas] Thank you, thanks.

- Um, I, I know all your stuff with Zetta.

- Oh, yeah, she's the best.

- She's beautiful.

And I shot with her husband Igon.

- Igor.

- Igor.

- Yeah, I love him.

(Mabel laughs) I think it's Igor.

(both laugh)

I think.

He's a great man.

- [Christian] Thomas, do you like Molly?

- Oh, yeah, I do.

Okay...

Don't mind if I do.

(snorts)

Thank you.

- I fucking love this song.

- [Everyone] Cheers.

♪ Break my heart, you always tear me apart

♪ You never stay the same, you always play the game

♪ You never come around, you never touch the ground

♪ You always break my heart, never fin-- ♪

- It's amazing, it's so surreal to be in a film that,

that taps into that Romeo and Juliet world.

And it's endearing, it's funny, it's action-packed,

and I'm just so proud of the film.

(elevator dings) (Mabel laughs)

♪ All I got, that's all I got

♪ But my shit is hot

- Holy fucking shit!

- [Christian] Welcome to Thunderdome, bitches.

- You're fucking kidding me.

- Who wants to never go to sleep again?

Oh, it's like you've never been to New York before, darling.

- Wake up.

That'll wake you up.

Ooh! (laughs)

- [Christian] As you promised.

Ladies?

- Let's take some pretty fucking pictures.

That's good.

That is the spot, ladies.

That's it.

("I'm a Killer" by DA & The Jones)

That's good.

- [Christian] Wait, I have an idea.

(zipper rasps)

- [Thomas] Oh yeah. (Mabel laughs)

I'm gonna get...

- [Christian] Are you catching this?

- [Thomas] Focus...

Yeah, man.

I'm sorry.

- Oh, somebody forgot how to party.

(Thomas laughs)

- Fuck.

- Hi.

- Hi.

♪ I need you more than ever

♪ This isn't what I wanted to become ♪

- Are you on a path?

- [Thomas] Huh?

- A path to enlightenment?

- Ah.

Yeah, that was a long time ago.

- Can I kiss you?

- Yes, please.

That was really sweet.

You're so sweet.

(mumbles)

Wait.

What are you doing?

(camera clicks)

(camera clicks)

Hey, you're...

What are you doing?

Would someone talk to me?

(gasps) Talk to me.

Oh, fuck.

Fuck.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait.

(Christian breathes heavily)

Oh, fuck.

Oh, shit.

(Christian's voice is muffled)

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Wait for me, I'm coming.

I'm coming.

(groans)

I'm...

(retches)

(camera clicks)

- It's okay, baby.

It's okay.

- [Thomas] I'm sorry.

- [Christian] Come on, come on.

Come on.

It's okay.

- Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

- [Christian] It's all right.

Come on, baby.

- [Thomas] No! - [Christian] Come on, baby.

- [Thomas] Hey...

- [Christian] It's all right.

- [Thomas] I just need to lay down.

- [Christian] I'll get you to the couch.

It's all right.

Okay.

There we go.

(belt jingles)

Hey.

(Thomas mumbles)

(Christian spits)

- Hey, hey...

- Shh.

Baby, it's okay.

- No, no, fu...

(Christian grunts)

(Thomas cries out)

(Thomas yells)

- Shh.

(Thomas chokes and gasps)

(Christian moans)

(watch ticks over silence)

(Christian breathes shakily)

- [Ava] You never really told me where you're from.

- [Penny] Oh, I'm from all over.

(Ava laughs) - Okay, yes. Enigmatic.

- Kinda like a real gypsy, right?

- Right.

That's cool.

How long have you known the ladies, back there?

- [Penny] Oh, I've known Elsie for years, and...

It's just whoever stops by, and...

Willing to be themselves.

(Ava laughs)

- [Ava] I've been finding it so refreshing.

Just like that energy of all those women,

so positive and loving,

and it's like completely what I've sorta needed.

- [Penny] Yeah? - [Ava] Yeah.

- [Penny] How are you feeling?

- Uh, yeah, good.

- Yeah, good?

- Yeah.

- Oh, yeah...

"Good" can mean so many things.

- Um...

Um...

I'm kind of a good liar.

- Yeah?

What are you lying about?

- Uh, feeling good.

Um...

I feel...

Kinda...

Like, dark.

- Tell me about the dark.

- Um... (sobs)

Um...

I don't feel like this, usually.

- [Penny] You're even fighting it right now?

- Uh, yeah.

- [Penny] Let it go.

Let it go, it's okay.

- I'm so embarassed.

- No, nothing to be embarassed about, it's beautiful.

- Yeah?

My mom...

She has schizophrenia, and so she's,

always completely wild and crazy, and...

Um...

And as a child my survival technique

was to have this warrior spirit.

And now, as an adult, it completely doesn't serve me,

because I just use that to just barrel through life.

And I just feel, oh, God,

I feel like I'm just sucking at life.

- [Penny] You're safe.

Safe.

Let it go, baby, it's okay.

- Oh, God.

I just think that...

I have a coping mechanism for feeling like this,

but I don't really feel anything.

I have these fleeting moments like right now,

where it hits me like a fucking ton of bricks.

And then when that usually happens

I get so fucking panicky.

I panic and I can't breathe,

and then I see things that are probably not even there.

And I feel like...

What was once there...

For now...

It's kinda fucking me over, 'cause um...

'Cause...

It stops me from actually feeling things,

and I really crave and believe in real.

And I haven't felt real in a really long time.

- And it's all okay.

It's all good.

You gotta let the thinking go,

and allow the feeling to happen, you see?

Breathe, take some breath in.

Way down deep in your belly.

- God.

- It's okay, it's okay if you feel.

Let it out, whatever it is.

Let it out!

(Ava and Penny laugh)

Let it out! - [Ava] Okay.

(Penny laughs joyously)

That's my girl. (laughter fades)

- [Thomas] Hey.

- Oh, Thomas, thank God.

Can I get you a coffee?

- I'm sorry I'm late.

A bottle of water would be great.

- [Naja] Okay.

(footsteps recede) (moody music)

(footsteps return) - Thank you.

- Big night?

- Yeah.

Hey, where's the bathroom?

- Uh, through there.

- Thank you.

Just be a minute.

(liquid splatters)

(bristles scrub harshly)

- Get up.

Get up.

Get up.

Get up!

Wake up.

- I'm up.

- [Ava] What is wrong with you?

- [Thomas] I'm sick.

Fucking Christ, I'm up.

What's the matter with you?

- What's the matter with you?

- Nothing. I'm up.

(water runs)

- Hello.

- [Thomas] Hey.

- Come on in.

- [Thomas] Thank you.

Yeah, well I've...

Been experiencing some really intense lower back pain.

- Oh, no, I'm sorry.

What's your name, again?

- Thomas.

- Thomas, you don't have to do that in here.

You just tell me what you like.

- I've actually been having back pain.

- Vicodin? Percocet?

Somas? Oxys?

I can give you Somas with a Vicodin,

or a Percocet, if you want.

- Yeah, that sounds good.

- [Doctor] Which?

- Boom, boom, boom, boom. (music with pounding beat)

Sexier, sexier.

Mmhmm, sexier.

That's it.

What's it look like, Marcy?

Let's reset these fucking cases.

(laughs)

These suitcases, reset.

All right, that's perfect.

That's real.

That's magic, let's do this.

- You want me to take it out?

- [Thomas] No, let's keep 'em.

Now, Svetlana, why don't you just,

show me how much you love that suitcase,

and uh...

Loretta, show me how much you love yourself, somehow,

and we're gonna shoot.

Okay?

This is called reality.

Okay, love it.

That's beautiful.

You are a fucking peach.

- [Ava] Yeah, people?

Men?

- [Penny] Men, women, sure.

Easy, easy boy.

- [Ava] Really? - [Penny] Easy, boy.

(Ava laughs) - [Penny] Is that shocking?

- [Ava] No.

Who did you find it easier to fall in love with?

Men, or, or women?

- [Penny] Falling in love is pretty easy.

Being in love is a little more difficult.

(both laugh) - [Ava] Staying in love.

Is really hard. - [Penny] Mmhmm.

- [Ava] Yeah.

Do you get lonely up here?

- [Penny] No, a lot of time alone, but rarely lonely.

I have a lot of friends.

I meet wonderful strangers.

(both laugh) - [Ava] Yeah.

- [Ava] It's funny, I'm never by myself.

Always surrounded by people.

Yet I always feel alone.

- [Penny] Oh, that's the worst.

- [Ava] Yeah.

- [Penny] Alone in a crowd, ooh.

- [Ava] Yeah. - [Penny] Yeah.

- [Ava] I don't talk to him, anymore.

And I feel ashamed because,

I feel so disconnected from him

that I feel so disconnected from my baby.

- [Penny] It's a good thing you're telling me.

It's a really good thing.

- You're pretty special.

I didn't know life could feel like this.

- [Penny] You make it what it is.

Hm?

- Yeah.

I have not felt this happy in like, a really long time.

Yeah.

I just...

I love...

I love feeling close to you like this.

And like...

And listening to you.

I mean, everything that you say, every...

Every thing that comes out of your mouth,

is so beautiful and poignant and...

It's like...

You're the clearest person that I know.

You've breathed life back into me.

- It ain't me, babe.

No.

Hm?

It's not him.

It's not even her.

It's you.

Tell yourself the truth.

You tell everyone you know and love the truth.

Okay?

(cell phone rings)

- [Ava] Hello?

- Hey.

- Wow.

Hope you're proud of yourself.

What'd you do?

- Doesn't matter.

- It does, actually,

because you will not be getting in the car

until I know what my husband's done.

- Your husband got cut off by some fucking asshole,

so I rear-ended him and I punched him in the face.

- Ah.

You're a tough cookie, my man.

- Where were you?

- Oh, look at you, road rage!

So what, you felt like just getting in your car

and be like, "Oh, hey, I'm gonna get in my car

"and I'm gonna drive around, I'm gonna find someone,

"gonna be a big old badass, and I'm gonna run into him,

"then I'm gonna be like, 'Oh, my God!'

"Hey, watch out, here I come!"

- Fuck!

- Oh, did baby have a tantrum?

Is that what that was? Was it?

'Cause I couldn't quite understand what you were saying,

'cause it was kinda like--

- I asked where my fucking wife was.

- How's that feel, huh?

Does it feel good to put your hands on me?

Make you feel like a man to put your hands on me?

- Are you high?

You're fucking high, aren't you?

- Whatever. (laughs)

Oh, fuck. (cries)

- Come on, are you crying, now?

You know, I needed you, today.

- Of course you did!

'Cause it's your crisis, your job, your schedule.

Never about me!

- Yeah, so I can pay for the house,

the school, everything.

- You are so transparent.

You and all your fashiony shit.

And all your chichi models.

Your lame-ass parties you go to.

You think I don't know what goes on?

What, you think I'm a dumbass?

- Yeah.

You're so evolved, right?

- Fuck you!

Ha!

Look at you.

Everyone knows it.

What, you couldn't handle the fact

that there was a spotlight on your girl?

'Cause she was a movie star and you what?

Took some photos with your camera?

Hey, I'd be threatened about that, too.

But guess what?

Lucky for you, I got knocked up, and so now,

I get to serve the purpose of her husband's existence!

- Yeah, what the fuck do you serve?

Serve what?

- This is fucking ugly.

Where do we go?

- You got the keys? 'Cause I'm gonna drive.

(keys jingle)

(door squeaks)

- I miss you even when you leave for just two minutes.

What do two people do who love each other so much?

- Well...

They just die.

(door squeaks open)

- Hey.

- [Thomas] Hey.

- That's happening now again, is it?

- No.

That was the last one.

- [Ava] Please don't lie to me.

- I'm not lying, I'm serious.

That was the last one.

- Don't lie to me.

Ow.

- Sorry, I smell like cigarettes.

So, so sorry.

- What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- [Thomas] Just giving you a little loving.

- Babe...

(Thomas moans quietly)

Fuck.

Stop.

- We good, now?

- Yeah.

- Good.

- Yeah, we're good.

- Good.

(water runs)

- Oh, bloody hell.

My uh, my little pencil is not sharp enough.

- Mommy?

- Yeah.

- I wanna come.

- Little munchie poo.

Is it because it looks really fun,

and I get to dress up like a little kitty cat?

Here, do you wanna do this one, love?

- [Lily] Yeah.

- Ah, yeah.

There you go, straight up kitty cat.

- [Thomas] Guess who's here?

- [Lily] Yay! (squeals)

- [Stuart] Here she is.

- [Thomas] Ooh, ah.

- [Stuart] Oh, look at you! - [Ava] - Oh, la, la, la.

- [Ava] Meow, meow.

- You look amazing, wow.

(Ava and Stuart exclaim)

- Good night, see you guys.

Have a good night.

Right.

Let the fun begin. (Lily laughs)

What are we doing?

- Not going to bed.

- What?

- I mean, I could've had sex like, probably three times.

You know how many times I had sex this week?

- How many?

- [Woman dressed as present] Zero times.

- That's not enough times.

- It's not enough times.

(Ava laughs)

- Yes!

They're online dating.

You know how many dates I had last week?

I had four dates last week.

Let's have sex...

- Yeah! Fucking Moby, guys!

It's Moby!

- Whatever you... (mumbles)

- Yeah, drunk girls with boobs.

- Two shoots, so, you know,

maybe Tuesday or Friday might--

- Tuesday or Friday.

- [Moby] What's your name?

- Ava!

- [Thomas] Are you good for Friday?

- Can you play some Fatboy Slim?

(Marcy laughs)

- Okay, I'll come with you.

- You!

You...

How long you guys been fucking, huh?

- Baby, what're you doing?

- Haha, I'm busting you, buddy.

I'm fucking busting his ass,

because he's been fucking (music stops)

this bitch, - [Marcy] Oh, no...

- [Ava] This fucking tiger bitch.

- Okay, I don't even like dudes, so...

- Oh you don't, oh!

Oh, - [Thomas] Baby, just...

- Oh, oh, oh.

She's a lesbian!

She's a lesbian all of the sudden!

- [Thomas] Sorry, guys. - [Ava] Oh!

- [Thomas] Baby you're really, - [Ava] Shock the vagina.

- [Thomas] you're really drunk.

- Fuck off, fuck off, I'm fine!

You know what?

This fucking party sucks!

- [Thomas] Okay, Babe, sorry, guys!

- [Ava] It sucks!

- [Thomas] Sorry.

- [Ava] Fuck off!

- [Thomas] Baby, calm down.

What are you doing?

Just, shh.

(Ava sobs) - Fuck off!

- Shh, baby, calm down.

Come on, come sit with me,

come sit with me, baby, baby, baby come on.

Come on. (music resumes)

- [Ava] Where are you taking me?

- [Thomas] Careful, careful.

Shit.

(Ava sobs)

Come on, baby, come on.

Come on.

Shh.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Can't believe you just did that.

I am so disgusted with you.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

- Don't you wish you knew?

Huh?

When did you stop loving me?

I'm right.

I'm right, you don't love me.

- I do, I do, I really do, I...

It's just, everything's buried in some shit right now.

And I just...

I'm sorry.

- Hey.

Hey.

You're okay.

Put your hands down.

- I'm sorry, I...

You're not happy like this, I know.

- That's not your fault.

Hey, listen to me.

It's, I'm fucked up.

That's not your responsibility.

- I got raped.

- [Ava] I'm getting better, though, I--

- I got raped.

- You...

- I think...

I got raped.

I think I got raped.

- What?

How?

- Some fucking guy in New York,

some fucking disgusting guy.

- [Ava] What?

- I know.

- [Ava] Why didn't you tell me?

- I don't know.

- What do you mean?

What the fuck?

- It was just...

Some fucking models, and just this fucking guy

whose house we were shooting in.

Just...

We went out and...

- You didn't tell me you went out.

- I know.

We went out, a club,

we were just partying, and...

We did some coke, and then...

I don't remember the rest.

- Bullshit.

Tell me.

(Ava sobs)

Oh, my God.

Did you fool around with those girls?

- Yes.

- [Ava] Yeah.

- Yeah, there was a little bit of that, I know,

but it wasn't what you think.

I was just...

We were all fucked up, and I was wasted,

and we were just kissing each other

and the guy was kissing me, and I was kissing the girls,

and then I was taking fucking pictures,

and then he just fucking,

he just fucking did it.

- Fuck.

I...

I don't know what to think.

- I know.

- How did you...

You did...

You fucking did this to our family.

We have a child.

I am so ashamed of you.

I hate you.

But you're my husband.

I'm sorry that that happened to you.

I'm sorry.

(low piano music)

(wind chimes jingle softly over piano music)

- [Thomas] Where did you go this morning?

- What?

- Where'd you go this morning?

- Um...

Well, I uh...

I went on a walk.

Around the neighborhood, and cleared my head.

Watched the sun come up.

- [Thomas] You did. - [Ava] Mmhmm.

- [Thomas] It must've been nice.

What'd you really do?

- Yeah.

(Lily growls) (Ava laughs)

- [Thomas] Whoa!

- [Ava] Wow, what a big, bad, scary wolf.

- Wolves don't talk to humans!

- Right, it's just...

- Right, wolves don't talk to humans.

- Method, method, you're method,

you're method acting.

Hey, um, I'm gonna talk to Mommy

outside for a second.

Then you can take a walk outside with me.

It's been awhile, huh?

- Yeah, looks like it.

It's like, just collecting dust.

- You could get it working, again.

- [Ava] Yeah.

I have something I wanna tell you.

- [Thomas] Okay.

- I have...

I haven't been feeling very well.

But I feel clearer now.

And um...

And I feel good.

- [Thomas] Okay, that's good.

- I just...

I thought it was really important to tell you that.

- Yeah.

That's okay.

- I'm sorry we don't talk about it.

- [Thomas] That's okay.

How can we talk about it, when I don't talk?

We don't talk.

We don't talk, anymore.

- [Ava] Oh, there's another thing.

- All right.

- We're pregnant.

- What?

That's amazing.

You are?

- [Ava] Yeah.

("Viktor Plane" by Moby)

(audience screams) - [Thomas] Yeah!

- [Thomas] Do you still love me?

- [Ava] Yes.

Do you still love me? - [Thomas] Yes.

- [Thomas] Are you still in love with me?

- [Ava] Yes.

Are you still in love with me?

- [Thomas] Always.
