[Man] The entire world is a collection of memoranda

that she did exist, and that I have lost her.

Whatever our souls are made of,

hers and mine are the same.

A rather pretentious way to open our story...

but I've always had a flair for the dramatic.

You see, this is our story...

Tessa's and mine.

It's a story you've heard before,

passed down from the Greeks, through Shakespeare,

the Brontes, Jane Austen.

It's the story of a young girl exploring her independence,

free from the bonds of her oppressive parent...

and promised to a boy she clearly does not love.

She meets a dashingly handsome young man

who sweeps her off her feet...

even though he represents everything she detests.

She falls for him,

gives herself to him,

and is ultimately betrayed by him

and left shattered.

Only it is he who is destroyed by his deceit.

When it feels as though all is lost,

the two reunite and live happily ever after.

Like I've said, a story you've heard before.

Only difference is...

this isn't that story.

[muffled] No!

Mummy?

Hardin, get back upstairs now!

[gasping]

Hey. Hey, I'm right here.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

[thunder crashing]

It was just a nightmare.

[breathing slows]

[door opens]

Morning.

There... um, there's tea. I... Help yourself.

Thanks.

Is he okay?

- Hmm? - The nightmares.

I heard him last night.

Um, he's sleeping now.

How long have they been going on?

Uh, ever since he was eight.

Um, he, uh, well...

He told me...

about that night and what he saw.

The assault.

Whoa. He's never told anyone that before.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you.

I just hoped he'd forget the whole thing.

But the nightmares kicked in. [chokes up]

Sorry.

And I took him to therapist after therapist,

but nothing seemed to help.

And then he started self-medicating with alcohol.

But, um...

...he told me that the nightmares went away

when he started seeing you.

[laughs softly]

I didn't know that.

May I ask...

why does your mum hate him so much?

Um, Hardin's your son...

Yes, and I love him,

but he is not without his challenges.

You can tell me. What happened between you two?

He lied to me.

- A big lie? - A massive lie.

Is he sorry?

He is.

[Hardin] What are you two gabbing on about?

Make sure you brush your teeth.

He used to give me such a hard time about brushing his teeth.

Mum, for the love of God,

of course I'm gonna brush my teeth.

Great. Morning!

- Morning. Thank you. - [kisses]

I love your mom.

She's all right.

Happy belated.

But you already got me a gift.

True, but you had to snoop around

and open it without me, thus denying me

the pleasure of watching you react to said gift.

Therefore...

"Tessa's perfect day."

What's my perfect day?

Well, that's for you to decide.

Whatever your wish or desire,

I will agree to without any snide remarks or tantrums.

Your time starts in three, two, one.

[kisses]

[Tessa] Isn't this nice?

I always wanted to go ice skating.

Yeah, it's... great. I'm loving...

Unhh! Unh...

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

Just a tad rusty.

When was the last time you skated?

I've never skated before.

Do you want me to get you a walker?

[woman, to child] You're doing great.

Fuck no!

- [grunts] - Are you... Oh, it's okay. It's... it's okay.

Whoo.

- Are you okay? - Yup.

Do you want to stop?

No. We're here to have...

- Unhh! Aaah! - [Tessa gasps]

Hardin? I have a better idea.

Stretch out into Child's Pose,

and let the day's tension just melt away.

It's not the pose melting this tension away,

- it's the fucking heat. - Shh!

- Is there any air-conditioning? - It's hot yoga.

[instructor] From Child's Pose, lift, and slowly press back

into your Downward Facing Dog.

Did anyone ever tell you

you have the most amazing bum?

Stop.

...and slowly move into salamba sarvangasana.

Excuse me, is this beginner's yoga?

That was at ten-thirty. This is acro-yoga.

[instructor] ...and then lift them up and towards the ceiling.

Breathe together.

Inhale, lift your arms overhead.

And as you exhale, lean forward.

- Allow your partner's weight to lean into you. - [Tessa laughing]

Slowly breathe and open your legs and...

wider... inhale...

a little wider...

and if you can, put your legs even wider.

[exhales]

Is yoga supposed to be a turn-on?

Are you turned on?

Mm-hmm.

- Can we leave then? - Mm-hmm.

- Now? Let's go. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Sweaty! I am sweaty!

Wait! Just give me five minutes, okay?

[song fades out]

[Hardin] Thank you.

[Trish] How are the applications going?

Fine. Dad said he'd make some calls.

You two spoke?

How'd that go?

As well as it could.

Hardin, what happened that night,

it wasn't his fault.

And all the other nights?

Not his fault?

Yeah, it was shit.

It was shit, and we both deserved better.

But the only person you're punishing

by not forgiving him is yourself.

And Hardin, I want you to stop punishing yourself.

So you think it's fair that he gets to live in

that big, fancy house, and you're here all alone?

Who said I was alone?

What? You're seeing someone?

- You don't have to sound so surprised. - Who?

- Mike. - Mike?

- Wanker-from-next-door Mike? - He's not a wanker!

- He is a bit of a wanker. - He's a really nice man,

and he treats me well.

Yeah, he fucking better.

Did you hear that Vance was moving to Seattle?

Tessa's going too. How did you know?

Well, we talk from time to time.

He's having a going-away party on Sunday,

and I think you should get your ass off this sofa and go get her.

- No, I can't. - Can't? Or you don't want to face what you left behind?

I'd have to leave right now.

So what are you waiting for?

- Mum, I'm not gonna... - Hardin...

I love you, but you have to start fighting for what really matters.

- [party chatter] - [glass clinking]

[Vance] Thank you all so much for coming.

It means the world to me to have everyone I love here with us.

I am... beyond proud

of the work that everyone in this room has done,

but there is one particular person

I could not have done any of this without.

And that's Kimberly.

[cheers, applause]

Smith and I were talking the other day,

and he said, "Dad, going-away parties are kind of sad."

And he's got a point.

And we were like, "How do we make this a celebration?"

Then we got an idea.

[whispers]

- [guests gasping] - Kimberly...

will you marry my dad and be my stepmom?

[all] Aww...

[surprised laugh] Yes!

Yes!

[cheers, applause]

What about me?

[laughter]

- [man] Aww... - [man 2] Yay!

[cheers continue]

[chatter]

Who said happy endings don't exist?

[Tessa] Don't tell me. You're the cynic.

I'm turning over a new leaf.

You look very pretty, by the way.

So... have you made up your mind about Seattle?

Well, I don't see much of a reason

to pass up the opportunity anymore.

That's...

really nice to hear.

[nervous chuckle]

Look, Tessa, there's something

I actually want to get off my chest.

Okay.

Uh, the other day, in the hospital...

I answered your cell phone,

it was Hardin,

and I told him to stay away from you.

- What? - In retrospect,

I do realize that that was over the line,

and I do realize that I let my emotions get the best of me,

and I'm sorry,

but somehow you bring that side out of me, so...

Okay.

Are you okay?

Eh.

There's actually more I'd like to say,

- but would you excuse me for a second? - Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm so sorry.

[server sweeping up glass]

Shit.

She left from the front.

Thank you.

Tessa!

[sighs]

You're just never gonna leave me alone, are you?

[sighs]

Heat get into people's minds

[Hardin] Like I said,

this is a story you've heard before.

Only difference is, this is our story.

Maybe there is a happy ending for us after all.

Tessa. [lowers voice] Tessa.

[lower] Tessa.

Do you like to go on dates?

Because I don't.

But I-I will... with you.

If you wanna go.

[exasperated laugh]

Tessa.

That's so creepy.

I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time,

and the reason that I haven't told you

is because of Human Resources in the workplace.

Don't talk about Human Resources.

That's not... sexy.

Tessa!

Don't do the finger.

Put it down!

I only pull out my teal suit

when I have something important to say.

- [knocking] - Occupied.

- [low voice] Tessa. - [knocking]

There's other bathrooms in the house

if you need to go that badly.

Just go.

Yes. You can go now.
