- Catch!

- Some couples
are college sweethearts,

or even high school sweethearts.

Some people meet on
online dating websites.

eHarmony and stuff like that.

Some meet through friends.

Some, blind dates set
up by their friends,

or they meet at some mutual
event or establishment.

These are the common things.

But then there's those random
out of the blue encounters

and the way those start,
that's really something.

And me? Well, I just drive Uber.

It's a job that brings a
lot of stories with it.

The people who've gotten
in and out of my car,

I could probably
write you a novel.

And don't get me wrong.

Some of those stories
are hysterical.

But there's one
that sticks with me.

Mainly because of
how simple it is.

Basically, it's a
boy-meets-girl story.

Nothing more, nothing less.

But this particular story
had me working overtime,

and it started with bugs.

- Hello?

I don't know what to say.

I cannot tell you how sorry
that I am that that happened.

I know it's my job. I've
done it hundreds of times.

You know, I don't
know what I thinking.

I don't know what happened.

You know, we were just moving
pallets around a cooler

and we left one outside
to make space temporarily,

and I just didn't...

Yeah, I totally understand.

So, could you let me
know when they decide?

So they already made the call?

For how long?

Okay.

All right. Thanks.

- Oh, hey!

Think you could help me out?

- Yeah. What's going on?

- Oh, are you working
the grand opening?

Uh, your shirt.

I'm supposed to be there
right now but, uh, yeah.

- Yeah, I was supposed
to be there, too.

- I'm supposed to be there
at nine, or maybe it was 10.

I don't remember exactly
'cause my phone died

and I left my charger
at home and now this.

- What is it? A dead battery?

- I think so.

Probably.

I don't remember leaving
anything on, though.

I've been inspecting it here

and the only thing I conclude
is that there is the engine.

Um, I was just wondering if
maybe you had a jump or, uh,

or would you mind giving
me a ride to the store?

- Yeah, don't even
bother going. It's off.

- It's off?
- Yeah.

The store's not opening for
a while, if ever, probably.

- You are from this
district, yeah?

- Yeah. Store 565.

- Oh, 134.

- Brett, Produce Manager.

- Keely, Bakery Clerk.
Bread.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

- Yeah, I've been out
here for a couple days.

They're wrapping
up construction, so
I've been working.

Yeah, something happened. So...

- Huh.
- The place is infested.

- Infested?
- Yeah.

Like, there's no grand opening.

They're sending everyone back.

- Get outta here. They wouldn't!

They'd put us up
in these hotels.

- I know. Um...

- Huh.

Do you have a cell
phone I could use?

Would you mind?

- Yeah, I left it upstairs.

- Oh.

- We can go, if
you wanna use it.

- Is that cool?
'Cause mine's dead.

- Okay. Here, let's
close this up.

- Okay.

- Uh...

Here you go.

- Oh, thanks.

Hello, Martha?

Yeah. I...

Oh.

Yeah. I, I see.

Wow.

Okay. Um...

Yeah. No, I was gonna call,
but my phone's dead and, um...

No, no. No, no.

Oh, it's okay. Don't,
don't worry about it.

I'll figure it out.

Yeah, I'll just see you
next week, then. Okay?

All right. Bye.

Um...

Well,
I stand corrected.

That was my manager
and it turns out

the store is definitely closed.

Apparently one of
the produce guys

left out the compost
trash bin last night,

and the health department
came this morning.

And it's, uh, it's bad.

It's, uh, it's
really, really bad.

Yeah. We're definitely
not going into work.

- No.

- Anyways, you know, thanks.

Wait a second.

Wait.

You were working in
the produce department.

Do you know what happened?
Do you know who did this?

- Yeah, I do.

- You do?

I bet you anything it was
one of those idiot new hires.

Like, those guys always
screw everything up!

- Yeah, um...

Actually, it was me.

- Oh.

Crap, dude. I...

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean
anything by the idiot thing.

I, I...

- No. Hey, hey,
no offense taken.

When I think about it,
like, it was a really

idiotic thing for me
to do, so I deserve it.

- Hey, you know what?

She didn't say what the
store was infested with.

Do you know?

- Yeah.

Bugs.

- Bugs?

Like, what kind of bugs?

- They didn't say.

- Man, I really wanna know.

- Ah, what does it matter?
I just got suspended.

My store director called me.

They know it was me
who left the bins out.

- Oh.

- I don't know how this
could have happened.

You know, I've done it
every other day at my store.

I've done it thousands
of times!

- Hey, look at the bright
side. Uh...

These rooms are paid for.

Two-day vacation.

Yay!

- Well, I gotta
get outta here. I'm...

I'm about to lose my job.
I'm probably gonna get fired.

So, I need to get
outta here and go home.

- Who are you calling?

- Well, I gotta call
the train station,

because I gotta figure out

if I can get my tickets
exchanged for today.

- Really? The train?

I didn't think people took
those anymore.

- Oh, yeah. I do.

- It's cool.

Um...

Well, hey, you know what?

Thank you so much for
letting me use your phone.

- Yeah, yeah, no
problem. My pleasure.

- Yeah, yeah. Really
nice to meet you.

- Yeah, not a problem.

- Hey.

Uh...

What I wanna say, you know,
even if you found a train

going back your way right now,
like, what are you gonna do?

You're suspended.

I mean, you can't go into
work for a little bit, right?

Breakfast?

I'll pay for an Uber.

- Uh, don't you have like
your car all broken down?

Don't you have to, like,
do something about that?

- Oh, no, no. It's, it's fine.

I'll deal with it later.

- We can split it.
- No, no.

Don't worry about it.

I've got it. You've had a
tough morning and, um...

You know what I do need,
though, is a charger.

Do you have a phone
charger I can use?

- So, this
is where I come in.

They were my first
call of the day.

She was chatty.
Him, not so much.

It was quite obvious that he
was bothered by something.

Her?
- Okay, thanks.

- Well, we'll get there.

- It's gonna be
okay. Don't worry.

- Yeah, it's really
easy for you to say.

- Don't assume that statement.

- Excuse me.

- Yeah.

- I don't mean to pry
in on this work thing

you got going on, but are
you two gonna be bouncing

around town for
the next few days?

- No, not really.
- Perhaps.

- Well, I have a
small driving business

I do outside of Uber, so,

if you'd like to just
call me directly.

Shoop.

- "Adam Thompson."

Nice to meet you, Adam.

I'm Keely.

- Hey, how's it going, Adam?

- This is Brett.

- I wanted to hear
more about this one, for sure.

- So, how
many codes are there?

- A couple hundred.

- And you know every
single one of them?

Every fruit and vegetable?

- Yeah. Pretty much.

- Huh.

Potato.

- What kind?

- Brown.

- 40-72.

- Red potato.

- 40-73.

- Gold potato?

- 40-83.

- Broccoli.

- 40-60.

- Cantaloupe?

- 40-50.

- Celery?

- 40-70.

- Lettuce.

- Iceberg. 40-61.

Red leaf. 40-75.

Green leaf. 40-76.

And Romaine. 46-40.

- Wow.

Never knew.

It's nothing, really.

- Mm. That's a lot to memorize.

- I'm pretty sure that you
got some stuff memorized, too.

Random little things
that you gotta do, right?

- Yeah, but not like that.

I mean, I'm a little
scatterbrained
sometimes, so, you know,

I have a list in the back room

to remind me of certain things.

- Honestly, I think you do
gotta be a little scatterbrained

to work for this company.

- Oh, my God. I
think that every day!

Bananas!

- 40-11.

- Organic bananas.

- With organic things, you
just put a nine in front of it.

So, for example.
- What?

- 9-40-11 or 9-40-62 or 9-40-80.

- That's interesting.

- Not really.

- Are you always
so negative, man?

- Who, me? Yeah, right.

- I mean, think positively here.

We have a free hotel
room for two nights.

- It's a Motel Six.

- The Motel Six has
a pool. It'll be fun.

- Oh-ho, a Motel Six pool.

Yeah, you know what
happens in those?

People float, with
their face down.

- You are just the biggest
bundle of joy I have ever met.

- You can't blame me for being
upset about me losing my job.

- Look, it
was an honest mistake.

You had a delivery coming in.

You had to make
temporary floor space.

So, you left the rotten
food out by accident.

That's all it is.
Simple mistake.

- I just can't believe
that the health department

had to come in,
right then and there.

What the heck?

- That's just bad timing, man.

- The union's not
gonna get my back.

There's no way that they're
gonna help me with this.

Absolutely no way.

- They will. They have to.

- Yeah, right.

It's way too big for them.
They're not gonna help.

- List of reasons you
can be fired. Okay?

Theft.

You don't seem like
the kind of guy

that's gonna steal
a bag of Skittles.

Violence upon a fellow
coworker, or a customer.

Let's face it. You don't
seem like the violent type.

I don't see ya getting into any
kind of brawls anytime soon.

So, look, you're good, man.

- The thing is,

I was talking to the
people at the main office.

They were considering me
for Produce Coordinator.

That would've put me
in charge of 25 stores

in all their
produce departments.

- Wow.

- Ladies and gentlemen!

We have got a regular
badass in our presence.

Come on.

Lighten up.

Okay.

Look, I don't know your story.

All I know is that you
are a produce manager

who works full-time and I'm
just a part-time bakery clerk

who used to be full-time.

You know what? I had to get
away from all that, man.

- You used to be full-time.

What happened?

- I left out a loaf of bread
and it cost my store millions.

Kidding.

I stepped down.

- Why did you step down?

- Personal reasons.

Um...

Do you live near your store?

- Yeah, I do, actually.
I live pretty close.

I ride my bike on most
days. What about you?

- That's awesome.
Yeah, yeah, same here.

You know, I walk to work most
days. Saves money on gas.

Hey, look, I know that
money's good and everything,

and you just seem like
the kind of guy who cares

so much about your job.

I'm sure any other company
would be happy to have you.

I mean, what's so great

about working for a
grocery store anyways?

- Well, the medical
benefits, for one.

If I lose my job,
I'm gonna lose those.

My mother's in early
stages of dementia.

- Oh, Brett.
- Yeah.

I used to have some
roommates and stuff, but,

yeah, I had to move my mother
in, a couple years back.

I have to be prepared at
all times for anything.

And these diseases, man,
they're so expensive.

It's ridiculous.

So, if I lose my job,
I lose my insurance.

My mom has no insurance.
She's on mine.

Do you get it?

- Yeah. I, I do.

It all makes sense.

I'm so sorry, Brett.
That's horrible.

- It's not your
fault. It's okay.

- Hey. You know what
I was thinking about?

- What?

- What kind of bugs they're
infested with over there.

- What?

- Cockroaches!

- Cockroaches.

- It's always
cockroaches, right?

- Who cares about
that? And, and...

And what do you mean,
it's always cockroaches?

- Think about the movies and TV.

It's always the bug of choice.

They're just disgusting
and they're just like...

- Oh, yeah. "The bug of choice."

It's not a thing.

- Yes, it is.
- No, it's not.

- Yes, it is!
- No, it's not.

- Yes, it is.

- Okay. Enough with
the bugs already.

- Okay.

You must have cared about it
a little bit, though, because

you said, "What do you mean,
it's always cockroaches?"

That, right there,
implies interest.

- You're very, uh-

- Ooh, what? I wanna know
what you're gonna say.

- You're very perky.

- Ooh. Thank you.

I, I try, you know? It suits me.

Just like I guess your, uh,
stick-in-the-mudness suits you.

- Whatever. Thanks.

So, when you're not perky,
how do you get back to perky?

- You know what? I am
glad you asked, sir.

You're never gonna believe this.

I had a custom bumper
sticker made that said,

"Honk if you think I'm sexy."

So, you know, when
I'm feeling down,

I'll just park myself in
front of a green light

and sit there, until I'm
feeling better about myself.

- That's good.

- Hey!

Genuine laughter!

It looks good on you, man!

You know what? I
just had a thought.

I noticed there was a bowling
alley here in the area,

and that we should go!

It would be a lot of fun.

- You wanna go bowling?

- Who doesn't wanna go bowling?

- Thanks again, Adam.
- Hey, no problem.

- Man, I don't know
about spending money

on bowling right now.

- Relax, man.

I still got a job. I got ya.

- Bowling at 10:30 AM.

This is where I figured the
connection really started.

Total opposites,
as it would seem.

Age-old story, really.

Opposites attract.

But how opposite
were they, really?

- Ooh. Easy now.

- Okay, so you are 10.

- Nice. Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much.

Ooh, these are slippery.

- Are you any good at this?

- Oh, God, no. Are you?

- I did a beer style rec
league once, and yeah,

that really was not my thing.

- Ah. So, I stand a chance then.

- You are probably the
heavy favorite here.

- What, what is this?

- Did I spell your name wrong?

- No, it's just Brett and Keely?

It's just so basic.

Like, don't you wanna
do something cool,
like Hot Shot or...

- Sure, yeah, I'm down.
- Badass, or-

- So, who do you wanna be?

- Clearly, you're Point Dexter.

- Whatever.

- So, what
happened with the league?

Like, what was wrong with it?

- It was like
really competitive,

for a beer style rec league.

Some of the guys, they
would get so pissed off,

if the game didn't go their way.

And then the girls? Yeah,
they'd get pissed off, too.

It was crazy.

- Like, what would happen?

- It was wacky. There
was this one guy.

He'd just do this
under the leg shot.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Get out! Show me.
- You wanna see it?

- Yeah!
- All right.

Well, anyways, this
guy, he'd go like this.

And he'd throw it
between his legs.

- Get outta town!

- Yeah.

Yeah, so if he
didn't get a strike,

if he only got like seven or
eight pins, he'd come back,

and he'd be like,
"Donkey balls!"

- What?
- Donkey balls.

- Donkey balls?

That's like a new one on me.

- Yeah, but needless to say,
it got old after a while.

- I hear that. Well,
show me your game, dude.

- All right. Here I go.

- A gentleman's one.

- Oh, yeah, that's a
real sophisticated way

for you to put it.

So, do you ever go to
those bowling nights

that the company had
a couple years back?

- God, no. I remember them.

They just weren't
my thing, you know?

'Cause I work with
a bunch of idiots

and don't really wanna see
'em outside of work, you know?

- That's right. Idiots.

Just like me, right?

- That's not what I meant.

Like, look, what
happened with you,

that's an honest mistake.

It doesn't matter
how big of a mistake.

That doesn't make you
an idiot, you know?

Besides, this is just
a grocery store, and...

I gotta tell you who
the real idiots are.

They're in my department, okay?

Like, sometimes, I
don't think they know

their ass from their elbow.

Especially the closers.
They're the worst.

Like, nothing gets
done in the morning.

Do you have the same problem?

- Yeah, yeah, definitely.
- Yeah, it's awful.

- That's so true.

All right. You're up.

- Oh, yeah. I guess
it is my turn, huh?

All right.

You're about to see the
wonder extraordinaire.

- Oh, nicely done!

What the heck?
- Thank you!

- What, so did he
pretend it was the people

in your department down there?

What the heck?

- Exactly. There you go.

That's how you get it done.

- Well, they must
drive you nuts.

- Well, I mean, you know,

they can be annoying
and everything,

but like, in the end, it's
just a grocery store, right?

Like, I might get frustrated

and think they're idiots,
from time to time,

and then vent about it,
like I just did to you,

but like, that's human
nature, you know?

Like, I don't mean
anything by it.

They're good people
and all. So...

Look, I guess the point I'm
trying to make is, like,

we're not NASA scientists here,

trying to put someone
on another planet.

Like, if we forget something
on our order, or you know,

out a hazelnut cookies for
a day, nobody goes hungry.

- I don't know.

I don't know that that's the
way that I would look at it.

- I'd say that's the clearest
way of looking at it.

We put food on a shelf
and people take it.

All there is to it.

Woo!

- I'm beginning to think

that you hustled me
on your skill level.

What the heck?

- Could be. Could be.

Poker face here.

- So, like, do you
remember those days

when we were
"essential workers"?

- Oh, my God. Yes.

Years and years of being
worker bees and then, you know,

then for a few months,
like our store's something

out of a third world country.

We're essential. Heroes, even.

- Oh, yeah. Those were the days.

- You know, I mean, it was
kind of cool in the moment,

but I guess I'd have to say
I'm pretty glad that's over.

I mean, um, I don't know,
though. I see your point, man.

Like, how quickly they forget.

You gonna take that, or...

- Nah.

- Hey, let me ask you something.

You, like, talk about
work an awful lot.

I mean, you don't seem to let
things go very easily, huh?

- I'm about to be fired.

- Okay.

Totally recognize
that, man. I get it.

Whole thing with your mom,
I understand too, but,

I mean, look around you.

Free vacation.

I mean, you can't do anything
about that stuff right now.

So, just try to enjoy this time.

I don't know. Um...

Okay.

Okay.

May seem a little cliche,

but what do you
like to do for fun?

- I don't know.

- Clearly not go bowling.

- I don't know. I couldn't say.

- What?

You couldn't say?

Oh, come on.

Are you telling me that you're
so wrapped up in your work,

you don't do anything for fun?

- Well, I don't know. It's...

I'm gonna have a lot of
free time on my hands

coming up, aren't I?

- Would that really be so bad?

- Well...

Between working full time,
between taking care of my mom,

there's not really a lot
of time for hobbies, so...

- Yeah. Well, look, man.

You're a produce manager.

It's decent money and I'm
sure you do well for yourself

and have, you know,
funds saved up.

But look,
if they fire you,

just go to another
grocery company.

You'll still earn benefits,

even if you're not
working full time

and you seem like
a model employee.

I'm sure you'll rise
to the top in no time.

- It's that simple, huh?

- It doesn't seem that hard.

I mean, why sit around and
be all mopey and stressed out

and just, like,
go live your life,

and whatever happens, happens.

Just live a little, dork!

You're up.

- Here we go.

All right.

- Oh, my God!

You did a great
job there.

See? That's what I'm
talking about.

- So, to pose the
same question to you.

- Mm-hm?

- What do you like
to do for fun?

- Oh. Well, a little bit
of everything, you know?

I like to go out with friends.

We go to the movies,
go to dinner, concerts.

Oh. Got a little dog I
play with, half the day.

- Nice.
- Yeah.

- So, is there any
men in your life?

- Um...

No husband, no boyfriend,
you know?

What about you?

- No husband, no boyfriend.

And no, um, wife or
girlfriend, for that matter.

- Good one. That's a good joke.

Glad to know you're
capable of those.

- Yeah. Well, your bumper
sticker joke got me going.

- Well, actually that's
something I did once.

I feel like I've...

I've got some shit
going on in my life.

Like, things are like
really messed up, you know?

And, um...

I don't know, but you know,
they're getting better and...

I, um, used to be an addict.

Yeah. Like, I was pretty bad.

I was, um, addicted
to the hokey-pokey.

But I turned myself around?

I'm good now.

- Oh.

Are you?
- Yeah!

Look, look, totally clean.

- Oh.

That's good to know.

See, I wish I could
do stuff like that.

Like, I wish I could just
like spit out quips and...

You're right. You're so right.

Like here I am, just all
stressed out and, um,

I just feel like my life has
had just "check engine" light,

and it's just going
off, my whole life.

And I'm totally
ignoring it.

- Hey. Good "check engine" quip.

But you know what?

Maybe it's time
to see a mechanic.

- Well, that's the
truth, unfortunately.

Quips and quotes not
gonna get you anywhere.

- Hm. And deep
philosophical sayings will?

- Mm, yeah. You get
a better chance.

- Lay one on me.

- Before you speak, listen.

- Wow.

How far did you have
to dig for that one?

- Uh...

A couple feet, I'd say.
- Okay.

Well, before you act, think.

See that one there was
right on the surface.

Like, no digging involved.

- Yeah.

Before you give up, try.

- Before you take a dump, make
sure there's toilet paper.

- Yes.

I love toilet humor.

- What the hell are we
even talking about here?

- I don't know. You
said to lay one on you.

What the heck?

- Yeah, well, I thought we
were going deep here, man.

Not like, "Ooh, before you
speak, listen", you know?

- Well, whatever. That's
the best I got, okay?

- All right. Fair enough.

- I don't know, Keely.

Maybe deep down inside,
I didn't really believe

that I'd still be working
here after 15 years.

And like my dad, he
always aimed high,

and things really
didn't work out for him.

And I just didn't think
I'd still be working here.

It was supposed to be a
temporary thing, you know?

I don't know. It's just...

Believe it or not,
I was that guy.

15 years ago, that was me.

The guy that would be like,
"Nothing's impossible."

- Ah.
- Yeah.

- Oh, yes. I've heard
that one before.

"Nothing's
impossible", you know?

Well, I've had several days
where I've done nothing

and I'm here to tell
you, it's very possible.

That's cool, though. I mean...

Do you have a goal or something?

- No.

Not really a goal, but
yeah, I had a thought.

- A thought?

- Me and Luke, my
buddy from college,

we were supposed to open
up a bait and tackle shop

in the Bay Area.

- No way!
- Yeah.

- You like fishing?

- Yeah, yeah, I like-
- That's, that's-

- Yeah, I like fishing.

- I mean, I can't believe that.

It's like, you actually
like something.

- Yeah.

Not only do I like fishing,
but I also really like hockey.

- Get outta town.

See, now we're
getting somewhere.

Like, do you go
fishing often, or...

- Yeah, so there's this
pier like right by my place.

I go there all the time.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- So, where was that answer,
when I was asking about fun?

I mean, it's cool,
man. You got a thing!

- Yeah, I got a couple things.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- So, what happened
with all of that?

- So, Luke's uncle was supposed
to back us in the whole

like, business side
of everything and-

- Okay.

- Yeah, it just
kinda fizzled out.

It was this building.

It looked like a hut.

And it was right along the
marina, right along the beach,

and it was right in the heart
of the entire beach crowd.

This place was so perfect.

And I guess Luke's uncle just
put things into perspective.

- Put what into perspective?

- Well, me and Luke were
21 years old at the time.

So, I mean, we were even
barely old enough to drink.

And his uncle was
supposed to put some

serious money into it, so
the bitch of it was that

it lingered, it didn't
go away right away.

I mean, his uncle was...

He didn't tell us
no, straight out,

and me and Luke were so excited.

Then one day, he's
just out and it's gone,

and then it's just gone.

And then, yes, me and Luke,

I still talk to him
every once in a while.

I mean, we're not
like super close,

but there's like no
bad blood between us.

Like, we're good.

But we just both went
our own separate ways.

You know how that goes.

- Yeah.

I hear you. That's rough.

Well, uh, might as
well do lunch, yeah?

- Yes.

I'm hungry.

- Hm.

- Okay.

Hot dog. Hot dog.

A hot dog. Another hot dog.

Geez, isn't this supposed to
be some kind of pizza place?

There's just like hot dogs
all over the top of the menu.

- I don't know. I was
just noticing this.

Like, I've never seen so many
hot dog choices on one menu.

It's weird.

- Oh, my God.

Yeah, okay. Look, there's
not even any descriptions.

It's just the name
of each hot dog.

Now, this!

This makes me nervous.

- All right, look, look.

"Hot dog". Fine.

"Chili dog". Okay.

"Kettle dog"?

- Yeah. What the
hell's a kettle dog?

- Probably comes
with kettle chips.

- A storm dog. Really?

- That sounds intense.

- And a bologna dog. Okay.

- Hot dog in bologna
form, I assume.

- Yeah, well, that
does make sense.

- Mm. That sounds gross.

- You ever just
talk with someone,

about nothing in particular?

Just mindless conversation.

Most people are
too busy for that.

But you'd be surprised
at what it can bring out,

in some people.

- Hey, that would've went in.

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo!

- You're not very good at this.

It's that easy.

- Yeah, you've got a
better leverage here.

Look, this is like a...

There, see?
- Finally.

Whatever.

- Oh.

- Done with these?
- Yeah.

- Okay. No, but think about it.

A hot dog wouldn't
know the difference.

- It's a hot dog.

- And it probably
thinks it's a sandwich.

- It's a hot dog.

- It's meat, wedged between
two buns, which is bread.

Brett, a hot dog
thinks it's a sandwich.

- Okay, can we get
another for the lady here?

Geez. Enough with the
hot dog philosophy.

- Well, what about your
storm dog? Was it all stormy?

- Oh, was your kettle
dog all kettley?

- Mm. It was the kettliest.

- You know that these are just

hot dogs with different names?

- Yes. Yes, they were.

- So, what the hell
were we talking about,

before this hotdog nonsense?

- We've been doing like 30
minutes here on hot dogs.

- I know. I've been timing it.

- Mm! Why am I not surprised?

Wait, seriously, I'm gonna
be at work next week,

continuously thinking
and talking to myself
about hot dogs.

- Have you ever been at work

and you just get caught talking
to yourself by a customer?

- Oh, my god. Every day.

And I'm not kidding about that.

Like, they give me this
strange look and I'm like,

"Oh, you know, just talking
to the spirits within",

or some weird-ass
thing like that.

And then they just
slowly back away.

- Yeah. I would, too.

Just kidding. I wouldn't.

- Would you?
- Nah.

I'd probably just-
- Maybe.

You'd be intrigued,
wouldn't you?

- Yeah. Probably.

This beats work, right?

- Eh, it's not
really as productive.

- Come on, man!
- What?

- This is a perfect example
of time well wasted!

- "Time well wasted"? Okay.

- Yeah, yeah.

Oh, okay. Look.

We started off this morning
today as total strangers, right?

I mean, granted we do
work for the same company,

but you know, alas,
more or less strangers,

and here we are, sitting
together at a bar,

having great conversation
as if we're best friends.

- Yeah, that's-
- Yeah.

- I like it. That's so true.

- Yeah, this is
a perfect example

of time well wasted, you know?

Under the right circumstances.

- I like that.
- It's amazing.

- I love it.
- Yeah.

Besides, time doesn't
really exist, anyhow.

- Oh, boy. So how is that?

- All right.

So, clocks exist, right?

But time?

Now, time is a construct
we've all agreed upon, right?

Like we've taken matter
and space and distance,

and in this instance, it's
the earth's rotation, right?

And we've, you know,
broken it into segments

and just given it labels, yeah.

- Yeah, that's deep.
- Mm-hm.

- I mean, you know,
don't get me wrong.

It has its uses, but I mean,

it's kind of crazy
that we're wired

to live our lives around
this thing, this construct,

you know, that we've
all agreed upon

that doesn't even
exist, you know?

- Made me like, "Whoa."

- It's truth, right?

- Yeah.

- I do seriously think about
moments of wasted time.

Like little moments.

Like, for example, my dog.

He will chase his
tail for 10 minutes

and I watch and I'm like,

"How can he be that
entertained for 10 minutes?"

And then I realize I was
just watching some animal

chase his tail for 10 minutes.

- Where do you come
up with this stuff?

- Oh, I don't know.

It's just like random stuff
Brandon and I would think of,

or see on the internet.

- Who?

- Um...

- You know what, Keely?
Don't even worry about it.

It's fine. It's not
any of my business.

- It's okay. He's, um...

- Look, it's...

Don't even...

We're coworkers,
we're having drinks.

We're at a bowling
alley. It's fine, Keely.

It's like, don't even
worry about it. It's cool.

- He's my husband.

We're not together
anymore. You're fine.

Hey. Check, please?

- Hey. Look, Keely.

I didn't mean to pry. I'm sorry.

- You didn't pry.

- Hey, look, if
you don't wanna...

Look, if you don't
wanna talk about it,

you didn't say
anything about him.

Let's just go back to that.

I want to have fun with you.

This is the most fun
I've had in a while.

- I should, though.

Talk about him.

Everyone says I should.

- Okay. Who is everyone?

- I don't know.

Everyone's everyone.
Everyone who knew him.

- Who knew him?

- I'm...

Not divorced.

- Yeah, I was
wondering about that,

because I don't even see a
ring on either finger, so...

- He's, um...

Well, he died. So...

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I-

- Yeah. No, no,
no, it's cool, man.

I get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're sorry. It's tough.

It's, uh, tough to know
what to say, you know?

I never knew what to say.

Not that I know a lot
of people that have had

someone up and die on
them and everything.

I guess when the, um,
situation came up,

I never knew the
right thing to say and

I don't think anybody does.

So, I guess that's why
you just say, "I'm sorry."

- How long ago did this happen?

- Just over four years ago.

- So, it's still fresh?

- Yeah, it's
somewhat, I'd say, yeah.

- How long were
you guys married?

- Six years, exactly.

- Do you want me to cool
it with the questions?

- No, it's cool, like, I
wanted to talk about it

and part of talking about it is,

you know, answering questions.

I'll let you know when
I reach my limit, okay?

- Okay, so six years.

- And dating, three before that.

- So, was he
your college sweetheart?

- Yeah, you know it.

We were friends for a while,

and then started
dating after that.

- How did you guys meet?

- Hockey game, actually.

- Okay. Hockey fan, too, eh?

- Not me. He was.

I got dragged along with
some friends to a CSUN game

and one thing led
to another and,

you know, he and I became us.

- That simple, huh?

- Most
perfect things are.

- Yeah. Now I can see why
you took that demotion.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stepped down. Not demoted.

I wasn't suspended for
infesting my store with bugs.

- Okay, that...

Right. Sorry.

- Yeah, you know, it
just, it had to be done.

I mean, it was just a lot to
take in at the time and...

- So, can I ask, like-

- How'd he die?
- Yeah.

- Um...

- Would that bring
you to your limit?

- No.

- So, what happened?

- Well, he was an electrician

for a telecommunication company.

And, um...

I guess I was naive in thinking

that it wasn't a
dangerous job and all.

You know, 'cause one day he
was in someone's backyard,

up on the pole and, um...

You know, they wear these safety
harnesses when they climb.

Um...

Well, the harness
failed and he fell,

from about three stories up
and hit the backyard fence,

and, you know, that was it.

Stupid thing, really.

- Keely.

That's awful.

It's horrible.

- I mean, I guess it was.

I'd have to say it was
like the worst time.

- Yeah.

- So, how'd I do?

- How did you do with what?

- Showing my feelings?

- Showing your feelings?

- So...

The obvious thing that
everybody told me was, you know,

I should go see a therapist
after this all happened.

I did.

And so, you know, I just
told you my husband died

and I've had this horrible,
tragic thing in my life,

and I guess I just really wanna
know what your thoughts are.

- You want my thoughts?

- Yeah.

Just like on everything.

You know, me and...

- You're good. You're, you're...

You're fine. You're good.

- Okay, Brett. Just...

Pretend for a second
you're a shrink, okay?

- Keely, come on. That's
such a deep question.

Like, no one's ever asked me
a question like that before.

Like, it's gonna be
weird to answer that.

- Oh, so then I'll take your
unprofessional opinion now.

- So...

Your husband.

- Brandon.

- Brandon.

So, Brandon died.

And it hit you really hard,
which is totally understandable.

You kept on going. That
didn't shut you down.

You kept on going with life.

And it changed
you. It changed...

So, like, you must have, like...

You've developed a shell.

Now it totally makes sense.

Now I know why you're so
spirited and outgoing,

and so random and spontaneous,

'cause that's what you
use to be happy, you know?

Hey, it was my, like
if it was my guess,

I'd just say that you were
probably a little bit closer

to my speed before it happened.

- Your speed?

- Yeah, like you
had real problems.

Like, you were dealing
with the real world, right?

- Are you suggesting I don't
live in the real world anymore?

- No.

No, like, no, you live
in the real world.

This is the real world here,
but I mean, you just, like,

you, you don't look
at things the same.

Hey, Keely?

Stop.

Hey. Hey, look, I'm just
trying to take a guess!

You told me to take a guess!

- Oh, you're quite the
guesser, aren't ya?

- Okay, I'm sorry.

- You're right,
okay? You're right.

I didn't mean to have a
moment there just now, okay?

It's just a lot to talk about.

- It's fine. It's okay.

Like, you're allowed to
have moments. It's fine.

Like, you're dealing with
some crazy stuff right now.

And it's okay. Like, let
things off your chest.

Like the old saying
goes, it's fine.

Are you feeling better?

Do you feel a little
better after doing that?

- Maybe a little.

- Good. Thank God.

- You know what's crazy?

- What?

- It's just like
the last four years,

everybody's been telling me,
"Oh, you should go to therapy"

and I've just always
been against it
because I'm kinda like,

you know, I don't need
some fake doctor telling me

how to feel about my problems
and everything, you know?

- Well, Keely, like,
all these problems

that you're dealing with, like,
they're not normal problems.

It's okay.
- You know what I mean.

It's like, how would
you know how I feel?

Like how many
therapists on the planet

have had a spouse die on them?

I mean, all they know is what's
written in the books, right?

And it's supposed to
be like a safe space,

and that's the point and all.

You know, you can go and talk
to someone without judgment

and they wouldn't know him and-

- Yeah.

- It's just kind of...

I've never been able to
talk to some stranger

about my husband dying.

- Really? Are you sure
about that?

- And yet I just did.

- I know. Are
you feeling better?

- Thank you, Doctor.
I believe I am.

- So, are you gonna start going?

- What? To therapy?

- Yeah.

- I don't know. Maybe.

Man, we were gonna
buy a house, you know?

We started looking
and, and then life.

- Oh, yeah, life.

Oh, yeah, I know all about
that. It can be a total bitch!

- That it can be.

You graduate from high school,
you make all these plans

and if you're anything like
me, you wanna make 'em unique.

- Unique. Let's do it.

I'm down. The road less
traveled, let's go!

- You know, I've been down
the road less traveled,

and um, I feel like I got lost

and couldn't find my
way off of it and...

You know, Google Maps isn't
gonna help you with that one.

I don't know, man. It's just...

I always kinda felt
like Brandon and I

had something special, you know?

- You guys did have
something special.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Getting married, buying a house.

Like, those things are normal.

What about kids? Were you guys
thinking about having kids?

- Um...

You know what? That's my limit.

- Oh.

My bad. I'm sorry, Keely.

- Hey, you too.

Uh, back to the hotel?

Two simple people,

both with problems, issues.

Same as all of us.

- Um...

No.

I don't think so.

- Okay. Then where to?

Two people you wouldn't be
able to point out in a crowd.

- Surprise us, man.

- Yeah, that sounds good.

- And here they were,
falling for each other.

I gotta say, I was glad I
gave 'em my personal card.

- Crazy.

Step up.

- That's awesome.

- Yeah.

- God, I haven't
done this in years.

- Yeah. It's not as
hard as it looks.

- Really?

- No, it really is
as hard as it looks.

- Oh, no.

- I thought you said that
Brandon was a hockey fan.

He didn't teach
you how to skate?

- Yeah.

A fan. Not a player.

- Okay. Fair enough.

- You better not let me fall.

Like that?

- No, here.

So, you're gonna make
sure it's really tight

and then you're gonna want
to do it around the back.

- Ah!

That's good. That's good.

- Yeah. All right, so-

- Hey, you're like
a regular pro there.

- Yeah, well, more like
a topnotch amateur.

But what you want to do
is, what I did to this one,

do the exact same thing
with that one right there.

Then you should be good to go.

- Thank you, teacher.

You know, Brandon and
I would go ice skating.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

Not often. About once a year.

Like usually in the winter time.

- Mm-hm.

- It's just something about
ice skating in the winter.

Like even in an indoor rink
like this, it's a little...

I don't know.

- It's romantic.

- Yeah,
you could say that.

- You know, I always get
really hungry after I exercise.

You wanna keep on hanging out?

You wanna get some
more stuff tonight?

- We could get
some dinner later.

- So, wait. Where is
your room, anyways?

- Oh, just
down the hall there.

- Well, here's mine!

- Yep, I remember.

Well, uh...

I, um...

I, uh...

- Yeah, I...

Look, Keely. Um...

So, when I got up this
morning, I went ahead,

I went to the grocery
store and my store director

was just standing out
there, waiting for me,

and he told me what I'd caused,

and then he gives me a call
and tells me I'm suspended.

This day started out as
the worst day in my life.

- And now?

- And now, I couldn't
care less.

- I know what you mean.

It's, uh, crazy what a little
infestation can lead to.

- Yeah.

- I'll let this
part speak for itself.

- Wakey, wakey, wakey!

How'd you sleep?

- I haven't slept that
good in a long time.

- Look at this wild hair.

You ever, uh, wake up in
the morning and think,

"Ooh, that ain't right"?

- You look beautiful.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

No, seriously? Um...

That was really fun.

It was a fun and, uh,

unexpected day.

- Yeah. Unexpected.

That's the key word.

- And, um...

Gosh, last night was, um...

What
time is it, anyways?

- Um...

I don't know. I
think we slept in.

- Yeah.
- The sun's up.

- Ooh.

It's bright.
- Mm-hm.

Hm.

- I don't wanna, um, like,
sound cliche or anything,

but I mean, I really mean that
last night was great and, um,

I, um...

You know, I wouldn't have
done that with just anyone.

I mean that.

- I know.

It means a lot to me, too.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Well, we got a
whole day ahead of us.

- We do?

- Yeah, train's
not till tomorrow.

- Well...

- Well?

- Hm.

- I'm ready to have another
great night with you.

Cheers to our vacation.

- Cheers.

- All right. I'm gonna
go take a shower now.

- Okay.

I'm gonna jump in after you.

Like, like when you're done.

- I knew what you meant, silly.

- Okay.

- The morning after.

A lot of people don't
know how to handle it.

But when I picked them
up on the second day,

and drove them to a nearby cafe,

they seemed to be
handling it just fine.

- Oh, my God. I know.

These executives?

They never want us to talk when
they do their store visits.

I mean, they say they do,
but they really don't.

- Well, they come in every
holiday. Every single one.

- Right?

It's like Christmas time or
whatever holiday, and it's like,

"Dude, you're stressing
everybody out here."

- But no, then they
give us a score.

- Mm-hm.
- Like we're in grade school.

- Yeah, and that's when they
wanna know our thoughts,

which, úyou know,
they really don't.

- Oh, yeah.
Put in your two cents.

For all that it's worth.

- Ain't worth much,
let me tell ya.

- Well, you know what?
It's like that old saying.

It's like, put in
your two cents,

but only a penny
for your thoughts.

- Mm-hm.
- Someone's losing money.

- You know what? That should
be the new company motto.

- Mm. Yeah, for sure.

- Mm-hm.

So, do you ever think about
getting a dog or a kitty?

Or any kinda like
precious little-

- I got a fish.

- Why am I not surprised?

What's his name?
What's his name?

- His name's Fish.

I got all my stuff
color coordinated.

All my clothes are
like polo shirts,

button up shirts, dress shirts.

- Oh, my gosh.

- Everything's
alphabetical order.

All my movies, all my
books, all my video games.

- That's too much.
- Yeah.

- Now I can see why you
don't have a girlfriend.

- Okay. Dang.

- I just
mean, you know...

The Brett that I knew before.

- Mm-hm. Okay.
- You know, it's-

- Look, you don't have
to try and explain it.

You know why?
Because you're right.

Like, I've never really been
in a serious relationship.

I've always, I don't know,
I've dated people before,

but I guess I just, I
need to learn how to relax

and I know that I
don't relax enough.

It's crazy.

- Yeah.

What was the name of
your last girlfriend?

- Cindy?

Why?

- Well, what I was
getting at earlier is,

if Cindy had known
the Brett I've known,

since noon yesterday,
we probably wouldn't
be walking here

in this park together.

- Oh, thank you.
It's a good thing

- "Cindy".

Sounds slutty.

- Whoa.
- Sorry.

- Wow.

Well, honestly, like,

I don't like to
ex-girlfriend bash, at all.

But yeah, she used to
sleep around and stuff,

so you're kind of right.

- Oh.

Well, she truly sounds
like a terrible person.

And I think you dodged a major
bullet, getting around that.

Thank you.

- I've been over her
for quite a while.

- Well, good, good.

Okay. Okay. I got
a new one for ya.

Worst things to say during sex.

- Like, what're you talking
about? Things that I've said?

- No, no! Just like in general.

Like, um...

"Get off me.
I'll do it myself."

"Oh, wait. What was
your name again?"

- Ooh. Okay.

I got you. So, "You remind
me of my ex-girlfriend."

- Mm, it's all right.
- No?

- But how about, um, "Hey, smile
for the camera over there."

- Oh, man.

- Or, or "On second thought,
turn off the lights."

- Yeah, yeah.

- Or, or...

"Mm, I think my
inflatable's better."

- "Who's next?"

- Mm.

- What about...

"I forgot to tell you.
I'm on my period."

- Damn! What are you,
like a teenage boy?

All right, on that note. Lunch.

- All right, let's go.

- What have I
brought out of you?

- So, what did you
think about the movie?

- It was all right.

Not the best thing I've
ever seen, you know?

- Yeah, ditto. I can't
believe they killed the hero.

- I know! I hate
when they do that.

It's disappointing.

- We should call the driver.

- Oh, yeah? Where to?

- I don't know, but you
should let me pay this time.

Serious.
- No.

It's all a good, man.

- I've got an idea.

- Mm. Do tell.

- Their vacation
was going great.

But eventually, even the
greatest happy accidents

will reach their breaking point.

- I gotta hand it to you, man.

That's how you take a
day off, right there.

- I can't argue with that.

- I've been thinking,

I just wanna
thank you, you know?

'Cause this has just been-

- No, Keely.

Thank you.

I haven't had this much
fun in God knows how long.

I used to be so uptight
about everything, for years.

And I know that my mom is fine.

Like, my aunt looks after
her, whenever I'm not home.

And I haven't even
been on my phone.

I realize, like, not
today, not yesterday.

No phone calls, no texts.

And I know that my mom is okay.

And then I met you.

I've never, ever talked
to someone so much before.

- I, um, I feel the same way.

I mean, I, um...

No phone calls, no texts
either and...

I guess no one missed me.

- Well, you were supposed to
be at work yesterday, so...

Right?

Sad.

- Nah.

You know, honestly,
that's the norm for me.

I wish I still hung
out with my friends,

as much as I used to, but, um...

I don't know, I guess
I kind of lied to you,

when I told you I did
all those fun things.

You know, ever since Brandon,

they've been
different, you know?

'Cause I've been
different, so...

- Yeah. That makes sense.

I get it.

I'm pretty much
in the same boat.

It's just different
circumstances.

But yeah, I used to hang out
with my friends all the time,

back in college, you know?

But...

- You did get a few phone
calls from someone, though.

- What do you mean?

- Your friend Luke?

- How do you know that?

- Okay, I didn't
mean anything by it.

It's just that, this
morning in the hotel,

when you were sleeping,
I got up and, you know,

I was like groggy
and everything,

and I went to go check my phone

and I accidentally picked
up yours and I saw,

and it's just an accident,
I mean, you know.

- No, no. It, it's fine.

Like, I'm sure you didn't
mean to look at my phone.

It makes sense.

- And so, I was
just wondering...

- What was he calling about?
- Yeah!

- Yeah, he was calling
about the shop.

- That's incredible.

And so?

- Well, he did leave
a couple messages.

He sent me a couple
texts, and yeah,

I listened to the message.

- And?

- Yeah, his uncle
got ahold of him.

- And so? What did he say?

- Well, um, I haven't had
a chance to call him back.

- Dude!

- What?

- Oh, like, all
throughout yesterday,

you've given me this huge spiel

about how you can't
stand your job,

and you told me
this beautiful story

about this great dream you have,

and now you finally
got a phone call

that this dream might
actually come true.

- Okay. So, that's a
little over the top.

- How so?

- "Oh, a beautiful
story. A great dream."

Come on.

- Yeah! I mean, it
is beautiful, man.

And it...

It is great.

- Keely, it's a bait
and tackle shop.

- It's something
you love, though.

- I love pizza.

And I'm not gonna change my
whole life because of pizza.

- That's a terrible
comparison, and you know it.

- Okay, fine.

- So?

- So what?

- Call him!

- Okay, so what do you
want me to tell him?

- That...

You'll quit your job,

if his uncle's really serious
about backing you guys!

I mean, come on. You might
be fired anyways, right?

- That simple, huh?

- Doesn't seem that hard.

- Okay, so here.
Let me ask you this.

What would you do?

Because my mom has lost
almost her entire memory.

That in itself is a
whole thing right there.

- Are you an idiot or something?

Brett, if you get canned,

it's between unemployment
or taking your dream shot.

Or going to another
grocery company.

But let's face it. The
strike happened, man.

All the grocers in the areas
that are new hires are screwed,

and that's gonna be you.

You hate your job
and you know it.

How does this not
make sense to you?

- Wow.

- Wow, what?

- You completely skipped
over what to do about my mom.

- You just take her with
you, if you have to.

- Oh, okay, so I'm just
gonna put her in my backpack

and take her with me.

- Look, I know this
might sound mean,

but she has what she has, right?

She has it here,
she has it there.

I don't know, I...

Maybe it's time you look
into getting a little help.

Like a facility, or something.

- See, that is mean.

And look, Keely, I know where
you're coming from on that one

but you gotta realize
something, you gotta understand

right now that that is something

that I'm never gonna do to her.

- All right, so, didn't
you say something

about an aunt that looks in
on her from time to time?

I mean, maybe, maybe she
could look after your mom

for a little while, while
you got set up and...

Look, if that's a problem,
just take her with you.

- Keely.

So, what happens if I fail?
Have you considered that?

- Okay.

If you're worried about
becoming like your dad,

I think that's pretty stupid.

- No, that isn't stupid.

That's totally
understandable, actually.

- Is that your professional
doctor opinion?

- What's the matter with you?
- What?

- You keep on badgering
me about this.

- Like, I just don't
want you making a mistake

and regretting anything
in your life, okay?

- Okay. I didn't say I
wasn't gonna call the dude.

- Then do it!

- Okay, settle
down, Keely. Geez.

- Look, you have a chance
at a new life. A great life.

Just don't go throwing that
away is all I'm saying.

- What's wrong, Keely?

What's up? Like, tell me.

You can talk to me.

- I'll make you a deal.

- Okay.

- If you call your
friend and take the dive,

I'll tell you why you asking me

about wanting
children was my limit.

- Okay.

Sure.

- Can we get the check?

- Hey, Keely!

Hey.

What's the matter with you?

- Look, I'm sorry. I just...

There's just certain things
that trigger this with me,

and they don't
always make sense,

and they're not always related
to what happened, but...

I just...

Look, I really like you,
man, and I think we've got

a good thing going and I
wanna keep it going, but,

I just really want you
to be happy, because-

- Because what? Why?

- I'm not happy, Brett.

Not that I'm not happy with you.

I really am, but...

I've got baggage.

- Yeah. I know.

Keely, I don't care!

I don't care!

Your husband died. You're
allowed to have baggage.

It's fine!

- Oh, no, no, no, Brett.
You don't understand.

I have real baggage,
like hidden baggage,

like baggage I've never
told anyone in my life,

and my God, I
don't know how you,

of all the people on the
planet, walked into my life

and were the one I wanted
to tell my baggage to.

- Okay. Just stop saying
the word "baggage", okay?

Keely.

- Brandon and I wanted kids.

- Okay.

I figured that.

- Well...

We, uh, tried and nothing,
and tried some more,

and still nothing and then
we decided to go get tested,

and then we waited and waited.

- And?

- Things got tense,
even before the testing.

You know, it can drive a wedge.

I, uh...

I hated the thought that
one of us couldn't produce.

And I know he felt the same way.

We both wanted a family, so bad.

- Can I say something?

- What?

- I don't know. I just...

You just didn't seem
like the type of person

that wanted a family,
when I met you.

- Well, I don't blame
you for saying that.

Call it a shell, call
it a defense mechanism.

Call it whatever you want, okay?

I changed.

And my friends saw it.

It's the reason why
we don't talk anymore.

- Keely, so what...

Something happened.
What happened?

What are you trying to tell me?

- Brandon traveled a
lot for work, okay?

Special assignments
out on the power lines.

He was away when the call came
in, so I couldn't tell him.

- What couldn't you tell him?

- Just...

We'd gotten into this
awful fight before he left,

and I was angry, and...

I don't know, looking back,
we were just too dumb to see

that there's other ways
to have kids, you know?

But you just can't
think clearly,

when you're in the
moment, you know?

It's just, you can't
think straight.

- Keely, just what is it?

Just out with it. What is it?

- It was me, okay?

I couldn't have kids. Me.

It was my body, couldn't,
couldn't produce.

- Okay, so what? Did he
end up resenting you for?

Is that what happened?

- I didn't wanna be the bad guy.

So...

I lied and told him it was him.

That it was Brandon.

God, I played along so well.

We both fell apart.

The marriage, everything.

Two weeks later, on a Tuesday,

he got up and went
to work and fell.

He never got to know the truth.

So, that's the baggage.

- Keely, I, I...

I couldn't imagine.

It's a serious problem.

You know, I...

I wouldn't have guessed.

- Yeah, well now you
know it. Congratulations.

- Keely.

I'm not gonna
judge you for that.

I promise.

It's not fair for me to
judge you for any of this.

Okay?

- Just, you don't have
to say anything, man.

Look, I know I'm an evil person,

and I deserve to
live with that, so...

- Stop it. You're not evil.

You're not an evil person.

I know you know.

- Just don't. Don't, Brett.

Just don't.

You wanted to know,
so now you know.

You wanted to know
and I told you.

You know, and now you
think I'm some crazy bitch,

who did this horrible thing
to her husband, which,

you know, of course,
of course I did.

And, and I knew, I knew...

I knew whoever I told this
to would think the worst.

And you deserve to think
the worst, and that's fine.

That's fine, man. Live with it.

I have to.

You know? And I don't need you.

I don't need you, okay?

I can get by just fine.

I've been getting by, long
before you came into my life.

You know? So, this
is just whatever.

It is whatever, and I'm
gonna figure this out, okay?

I am. You know?

This is what you get.
You wanted to know?

Now you know.

You made me tell you.
So, now you know.

Congratulations, buddy.

- Oh, great!

Yeah. I made you tell me?

- Just don't. Okay, Brett?

Just stop!
- Keely, don't do this!

- Stop it!

- Keely. Just...

It's gonna be okay.
- No, it's not!

You know what? Just
stay away from me.

- No, no, please don't.

- I shouldn't have trusted you!

- Keely.
- Stay away!

Don't! Leave me alone.

- Keely, come back.

- And it can
happen, just like that.

When I picked her up that
night, she was alone.

I took one look at her,

and well,

you can tell.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You okay, hon?

- I'm fine. I'm just, um...

It's just, um...

Just a bad night is all.

- Do you wanna talk about it?

- Um...

You know, it's probably
not a good idea right now.

- Okay.

You know, I can be a shoulder.

- I just made a lot of
bad mistakes and all.

You know what I mean?

- I think we all do.

Definitely.

But I can understand
what you're saying,

and how you're feeling about it.

- I just, I have like mistakes
I can't come back from.

- Hm.

- So, how do you fix that?

- Sweetheart, I wish I knew.

But...

We learn to keep living.

You go inside and you give
yourself some rest, okay?

- I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, God.

Brett?

Brett, it's me!

Hey. Hey, listen,
I'm really sorry!

I, I'm really sorry about
last night. That was stupid.

Brett?

Brett?

I was right.

- Needless to
say, she was hurtin'.

She was hurtin' so much, in
fact, that I could feel it.

The third morning, I
picked her up alone, again.

And it's here that I'd
like to think I had

some kind of small
impact in the outcome.

- Hey, Adam.

- Hey!

Get your suitcase for ya?

- Oh, sure. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

So, uh, where's your friend?

- What? The guy?

- Yeah.

- Had a fight.

- Well...

- I don't know. I...

I guess I was kind
of a jerk to him.

And I guess I chased
him off, so...

- Why don't you go apologize?

- What? Just like that?

- Oh, come on.

Don't tell me a guy like
that wouldn't forgive you.

- Well, I don't know.

I mean, we just met
and I barely know him.

- I caught onto that.

I caught onto a few
other things about you,

the last few days, too.

You and your quips and quotes.

So, why don't you use them,
and go tell him you're sorry?

- Well, I've been
thinking about it,

and the problem is he
left to go catch the train

and I don't know,
what if I'm too late?

- Just relax.

I know a shortcut.

- What? To the train station?
- Mm-hm.

- Do you really think
we might catch him?

- Get in.
- Okay.

- Well, let's kick it up.

Thank you so much.

Brett?

Brett!

Hey!

Brett!

Brett.

It was cockroaches.
It's breaking news.

I was right.

Well, I just, I couldn't
let you leave without-

- Keely. I was gonna knock
on your door last night.

I'm sorry I didn't.

I just thought it would be
better if I came here instead-

- Oh, Brett, I'm
sorry. I'm so sorry.

I had to let you know. I...

I had time to process
everything this morning,

and I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I just, I said some
horrible things to you,

and I don't mean any of it.

Listen.

I've had an amazing two
days with you. Amazing.

And I understand if I
ruined things forever,

and that you can never forgive
me, but at least you know.

- Keely, I forgave you, the
moment you walked away from me.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You and Brandon,
what happened there?

There's nothing I
can say about that.

And in fact, it's
none of my business.

I can never understand
what it's like

to live through that situation.

And I'm not gonna
judge you for it.

I mean that.

- So, you don't think of me
as some evil, crazy woman?

- No.

In fact, I think you're
just trying to help people.

And you do.

You helped me.

I called Luke.

- You did?
- I took the dive.

- What?
- Yeah.

Well, remember our bet, silly?

Like, you told me your stuff

and then I was gonna
make the call, so I did.

- That's amazing.

- Yeah, so I'm investing.
- Okay.

- It's going on. His
uncle's investing.

And it's gonna happen.

And the union called me, and
they didn't even fire me.

- They didn't?
- No, I resigned.

- My god!

- Yeah, so I guess I
just gotta figure out

how to get started.

- Well, remember when
you asked me what I'd do,

if I were you?

- Yeah.

- If I were you, I
would ask your family

for some help with your mom.

You know, just until
you've got things settled.

And I would ask a friend
for some help, too.

You know, with
some other things.

- Oh, yeah. This is gonna
cost me so much money.

- Brett, I can help.

- Keely, I'm not gonna ask
you for that kind of help.

Just no.

- Okay, you need a
change, and so do I.

We both want a change.

- No. No.

I'm not gonna ask you for that
kind of thing, ever. Stop.

- Brandon's accident?

There was a settlement with
his company and it's part

of the reason I stepped down.

Brett, money's not
an issue for me.

Look. Your train's gonna
be here any minute.

If I were you, I
wouldn't get on it, okay?

I can get my car towed
to a shop here in town

and we can spend
another day together,

and I'll drive you home after.

We can both go and help
get your mom situated.

Look, I know your story.

It was always you and her.

And I think she'd really
want this for you.

And I'd tell her that
you've met someone

who really, really likes you.

Someone who wants
to take a chance

on something great with you.

Someone who can see now that
there's something good coming,

for both of us.

And if I were you,

I'd take a chance on this and

take a chance on us.

- That simple, huh?

- Doesn't seem that hard.

- I'm not gonna go.

- And the rest is
a small piece of history.

A history that I got to
witness the beginning of.

By far my favorite
story working this job.
