MAN: Ow!

Damn it!

Rachel, I don't think...

It's not like,
you know... You're...

Car's ready.
Are you ready to go?

Ready to go, pal?

Come on. Let's go.

Come on, Bernie.
Let's go.

Come on, Bern.
Car's leaving.

Come on.

Come on, Bernie.
Come on.

I'll just get him later.

RACHEL: Okay.Yeah.

This is the last box here.

All right.

Let me know if I leave
anything behind.

Sure.

Oh!

Fuck!

Jesus!

Fuck!

Hey.Hey.

Thanks so much
for letting me
crash here.

Yeah, of course,
come on in.

Just got to the point
where I guess she...

She lost faith in me.
She lost faith in...

In our relationship.
She lost faith in
any possibility

that we might be able
to resolve this somehow.

And she lost faith.Wow.

What was Mom's
take on all this?

Mom, you know...

You know, she was drunk,
she was angry at me.

She blamed me
for everything,
basically.

PHIL: Yeah.Yeah.

And called me a pussy,
in her own way.

PHIL: Yeah, I can't say
I'm surprised.

Is that my shirt?

This? What, the V-neck?

No, the shirt underneath.
The white shirt.

What, with the...

I think Rachel
got me this.
The button-down?

I've been looking
for that shirt
for, like, two years.

Honey? I cleared out the...
The right hand side
of the basement,

the far right hand side
by the boiler,
for all of Alex's stuff.

So, okay.

PHIL: Thank you.Mmm-hmm.

ALEX: Thanks.
I really appreciate it.Yeah.

So what about the tour?
Are you still going
to go out by yourself?

I have to.PHIL: You can't cancel?

I can't cancel it, no.
I need the money,
you know.

I need to start
chipping away
at this debt.

Unless... Unless
you and Clay want to
lend me $4,000.

And you know, I think,
you know, maybe just
being on the road...

You know, just alone
with my thoughts
for two weeks.

Maybe that's a good thing.
You know, it'll give me...

Give me an opportunity
to reflect on things.

Maybe give me
a little bit
of perspective.

You know,
in the whole situation.

And you know, maybe
that's a good thing.

So what do you think?
You want to come with me?

All right.

No, I...
I have Pete's number.

Petey! Pistol Pete!

When did people
stop calling you that?

Oh, okay. I didn't...

Wesley! What's
shaking, brother?

Listen, I know
this might seem
out of the blue,

but, um, do you remember
that movie I made
a few years ago,

called Woodpecker?

This is the movie
that was about
these two birdwatchers

looking for this elusive
woodpecker which is on
the brink of extinction.

It starts tomorrow.
It lasts two weeks.

There's 12 screenings
in two weeks.

And I was going to
do it with Rachel but...

...unfortunately,
she couldn't
make it because, um...

She's actually working
on a job in... In Miami.

...San Diego.

I forgot the name
of the city. I think
it's in Western Poland.

And so unfortunately,
she's not going to be able
to come with me on the tour,

so I'm just calling to see
if maybe you want to, kind of,
just take an impulsive,

crazy adventure with me
through the south.

Totally, man,
I understand. I mean...

The little ones
need their father.

I thought I did invite you
to my birthday party.

Okay, is it still...

Did you switch to Gmail
or are you still Yahoo!?

Say hi to Leslie.

Lisa!

Say hi to Lisa.
Okay, bye.

Fuck!

Alex?

Yeah?

Doing okay in there?

Uh, hold on a second.

Hey.Hey.

Uh...

What's up?Oh, I don't know.

Are you okay? I...Yeah.

...heard some racket
and some yelling in there.

Oh yeah, that was me.
I was making
some phone calls.

Calling my buddies.Yeah.

I'm sorry
if I was making too...
Was it too loud?

Well, no, no.
I just, uh...
I was just...

I'm just worried
about you.

Going through
a rough time, right?

I, uh... I don't want
to intrude, okay,

but I did read somewhere

that we form
neurological associations

between swear words
and stress anxiety.

And we make
those stress words
very powerful.

One way to maybe
help that out

is to replace the swear word
with a normal, ordinary word.

And maybe the swear words
can kind of lose their power.

Um, and...

And then maybe
later on down the road,

you're going to have
to replace that word
with another word,

and then maybe that word
with another word,

but it might be a good way
to, you know, help with your
stress management, you know.

Right? Yup.

Clay, that is the
dumbest, retarded thing,
I've ever heard in my life.

Yeah. There you go.

Yeah.

You're a good person,
you know that?

You're a very good person
and I appreciate
you trying to help.

I appreciate
your act of kindness.

I wish there was more
kindness in this world.

Do you guys, maybe,
want to come down
to Atlanta?

Tomorrow?
Join me for the first
few days of the tour?

No.

MAN ON SCREEN:
Behind me,
that's a Pileated.

So we're going to stay
right here, Wes.

That's not the bird
I'm looking for.

EMCEE: As you know,
how this works...

We are very pleased
to have the filmmaker
with us this evening,

and Alex Karpovsky
is selected as one
of 25 new faces

in independent film
by Filmmakers Magazine.

Not only is he a filmmaker,
but he's also an actor.

And in this past year,
he played the voices

of several Russian gangsters
in Grand Theft Auto IV.

His newest film...

ALEX: In the early 1940s,

this beautiful creature,

the most colorful,
the largest woodpecker

to ever fly
in the American skies,
was declared extinct.

Because of our
deforestation,
our negligence,

we lost another
glorious creature
on this planet.

Um... Or so we thought.

A few years ago, hikers,
kayakers started spotting
what they thought

was the elusive,
and long forgotten
Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

And as word grew
and people started

to flock down there
to the swamps of
Eastern Arkansas,

hoping to grab definitive
evidence, proof of this bird,

it became sort of
a national story.

But proof was elusive,

no one could get that photo.

And if they could
get that photo,

then maybe its habitat
could be preserved.

Legislation could be passed,
and it could be
a protected area,

and these two or three
woodpeckers, or however
might still be out there,

could be allowed to flourish.

So, this notion
of a second chance,

in every sense of that phrase,
was very interesting to me,

in a driving source
of enthusiasm,
throughout...

Throughout this process
of working on the film.

And something that
on a personal level,
especially recently,

is something that
I can relate to,
you know, in many...

Well, in one specific aspect
of my life, anyway, I wish...

I wish I also was given
a second chance.

And I think maybe
some of the people
in this room,

maybe could relate
to that notion. So...

That's all the time
we have tonight.

Thank you so much
for coming out
to check out the film,

especially on
Valentine's Day.

I really appreciate it,
and maybe I'll see you
down the road.

Good night.

All right.

WOMAN: Thank you.

Thank you very much.

All right,
happy Valentine's Day.WOMAN: Thank you, you too.

All right.
Thank you very much.
Happy Valentine's Day.

Hey, guys.

Ahem! Guys?

Guys!

Guys!

Fallen tree is right there.

This is the spot.

The Ivory-billed
was counted
out of existence.

If it can make
a comeback, anything
can make a comeback.

I mean,
that's just a...

It's actually just
one of the few

pleasures of life
that we have,

while we're here,
is making a comeback,

when you're called
down and out,

when you're
called extinct.

Well, we're a...

You can see
something over there.

ALEX: Henry, what's up, man?

Alex, what's
going on, baby?

What you up to,
you son of a bitch?

Not much,
I'm just doing
a tech check

before one of our
Woodpecker screenings.

Well, listen,
I've been thinking
about your offer

and if your offer
still stands,

I'm gonna come down
and join you on the tour
if it's possible.

Really?

Yeah, yeah, I just think
it will be really inspiring.

That's great. As long as
I'm not imposing.

No, no, no.
That's great news.

Cool, awesome.
I'm really excited
about it.

Yeah, I'm so glad
you reconsidered.

I've been sitting
in my shitty apartment,
drawing shitty illustrations,

thinking about
Shel Silverstein,
feeling slightly suicidal.

I just got to get
the fuck out of here.

But in all honesty,
there was this
media blitz, uh...

They were all, sort of,
blasting us with this
incredible, strange story

about a strange woodpecker.
It's a beautiful story.

It's a story
about Americana,
about second chances.

So for me, on a
very personal note,

I wanted to kind of
dive into this very new,
rich, unfamiliar place.

Because it's so
free of associations

and so full of wonder,
and that's a huge part
of the magnetism as well.

Yes, please.

This is a great, like,
charismatic, megafauna
kind of story,

and you seem like
a very charismatic megafauna.

So I hope we see
more of you
and more of your work,

and I don't really
have a question,

I just wanted
to say that.

ALEX: Thank you very much,
that's very sweet.
I appreciate it.

Charismatic megafauna
was actually a working
title for the film.

Thank you very much.

I've had a wonderful time
talking to you in this
beautiful theater.

I'll see you
down the road.
Good night.

MAN: It's Tricia.
T-R-I-C-I-A.

ALEX: T-R-I...MAN: C-I-A.

ALEX: C-I-A. Like that.

Are you guys bird watchers?

MAN: Pardon me?ALEX: Are you
bird watchers?

MAN: I'm more of
a hunter.

ALEX: Thank you for coming
and watching the film.

MAN: Okay, see you.ALEX: Thank you very much.

Hey, how's it going?Good, good,
how are you?

Those were really
sweet things that
you said in there.

Thank you.I really appreciate it.

You were great.
It was such a good movie.Thank you so much.

And you were so funny.

Thank you so much.And you're
really talented.

Oh, fuck!

ALEX: Frittata!

RIVER: There's a maple tree
on one side of my lawn

that has, like, a really
high vibration,

but then there's
a cypress tree
on the other side,

and it has the most
mellow vibration

and I can't
figure out why.

I'm thinking
because it's older,
you know?

Left here?

Yes.

This was so great.It was really
fun, yeah.

Yeah, I loved it.

Good night.
Yeah, it was
a fun night.

Hmm.Yeah.

So, it was great
seeing you.Mmm!

All right.Mmm-hmm.

Cool.Mmm-hmm.

Yeah.

So...

All right, Riv.Well, I'm sorry
you got to go.

Yeah, it's just...
It's work.

PF's and stuff.

Well, maybe
I'll see you
down the road.

Yeah, yeah.
I would like that.

Yeah, that'll
be fun, right?Yeah.

Take care.Okay. I love your work.

Bye-bye.See you later.

RACHEL:
That means good night.
Good night.

ALEX:
Put that hat on.
Rachel. The one...

Yeah, put that one on.

I'm just studying.

...I'm gonna be a nurse.
Do you like nurses?

ALEX: Is this my nurse fantasy or is this your nurse fantasy?

ALEX: All right, Ma, okay.

Henry. Henry!

Alex!

How's it going?Great.

Good to see you.Good to see you too.

They lost my bag.They did?

Did you...This isn't even my flight.

Everybody who was
on my flight has
come and gone.

Did you talk
to the people?

Yeah, they said
they're going to call me
when it's ready, so...

What a bummer!
I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh, it's all right.
It's just stuff.

It's just stuff.
Good seeing you.
You look great.

Good to see you too, yeah.
I've never seen you
with long hair before.

Oh, yeah?
What do you think?
You like it?

All right. Well, how much
are you taking off?

It's just cutting,
it's tough cutting.

Fucking bullshit.

Give me those
fucking scissors.

It's looking good.Uh-huh, yeah.

I think so.
This is what
I'm talking about.

Some Thomas Dolby shit.

ALEX: Rachel asked me to
move something from, uh...

This old TV,
it doesn't even
really work that well.

She asked me to move it
from the living room
to the dining room.

And I think, I just...
You know how you're
supposed to bend your...

...bend your knees.
Did you actually
bend over and do that?

I always do that.
I always bend my knees,

but this one time
I spaced out and...

How is she?

Rachel?Yeah.

She's doing well. Yeah.Yeah?

You guys have been
together for four years?

Four and a half
years now.Four and a half years.

Yeah.That's incredible.

That's amazing.
I mean, that's great.
You guys are great together.

So I'm really
happy for you.
I mean... Yeah.

Yeah.I wish I could do that.

So how many people
did you call

before you called me
to come on this trip?

I know I wasn't
the first person.

You're not the
first person I called.

I didn't think so.I'll admit that.

I'm gonna have to
get some work done
in between your screening.

I'm not going to make
all the screenings.

Yeah, yeah,
of course, of course.
You don't... I mean...

I only expect you
to make one.

And you only
have to go
to the first one.

Well, you know...
No, I'm looking forward
to seeing it.

I'm just going
to have to stay at
the motel certain nights

and get some work done.Of course, of course.

I have to, so...

You got to work
on your illustrations or...

Uh-huh.Yeah.

So how's all that going?
What's the latest?

It's going well, yeah.
I got a children's book deal.

Oh, you did get a deal?Yeah, yeah.

That's great, because
last time we spoke,

you said you were maybe
about to or something,

but you got it...Hey, I found out
about a month ago

and I didn't
want to jinx it.

But you know,
now it's pretty official,

so I'm starting
to tell people.

There's a book
I started about
eight months ago,

called Henry
and the Haunted Piano.

And I sent you
a PDF for that
a while back.

Never heard from you
about it and so...Right.

I don't know
if I got it.
Did I get it?

Yeah, you got it.
You were busy.

And it's a big
commitment to read
a children's book, so...

You weren't the first person
I sent the PDF to, either.

Fair enough.

Henry and the Haunted Piano.

Little boy named Henry,

walking home from
school one day,

he's sees a piano,
he finds a piano...

He hears this music,
piano playing coming
from the cemetery,

goes to the cemetery.

Discovers a piano haunted
by a ghost there, all right?

Gets terrified, runs away,

and continues
to hear the music

because he lives
very close to
the cemetery, right.

And later that night,
he can hear
the piano playing

while he's doing
his homework,

while he's taking a bath,
while he's trying to sleep.

He gets pissed off
when he's trying to sleep
because he can't sleep.

He goes back
to the cemetery,

confronts the ghost
for a final confrontation.

That's where it gets
a little bit dark.

And the publishers
are a little concerned
about that.

They think the ending is...
The ending is too dark, so...

Well, why?
What happens
in the ending?

Henry dies.

The ghost kill him?

Well, that's interpretive.

The children can
interpret that.

But they think
it's a little too dark.Well, I...

I don't want to take sides,
but I can see where
they're coming from.

Right! No, so I'm trying
to find a way to change it.

If I get published
by this company,
it's pretty good.

It'll be good for my,
you know, burgeoning...

Well, non-existent career,
but it could lead to things.

So, I wanted to make sure
they're happy and...

Seems like you're
very ready to compromise
your artistic vision

to get published by
a medium-sized publisher

rather than preserving
your integrity and your vision

and going to a slightly
smaller, fringe,
edgy, publisher.

Absolutely, I'll do
whatever it takes
to get this thing published.

So, rape me,
here's the lubrication.

Rape me, here's
the lubrication.

You're allowing
them to rape you.

You're easing
the process.Oh!

In this case,
I want to get raped.

I want to
make a living,
having sodomy.

Can you get
some more nach...
Uh, the chips?

You want me
to get them?

No, no, I'm looking
for the guy.

Front desk. This is Alan.

Hey, Alan, this is Alex
calling from room 106.

Um, I have a little
bit of a back pain

and it's making it
really difficult for
me to sleep at night.

I'm doing a lot of...
Kind of tossing
and turning.

And I was wondering
if it'd be possible to
maybe get a late checkout.

Oh!Tomorrow morning.

You're out of luck,
I'm sorry.

It's not in our policy
to allow late checkouts.

Why not? I'm sorry.

It's the hotel's
policy to not allow
late checkouts.

How was the call?

It was good. Sorry I was
on the phone so long.

Oh, that's okay.

How are you?
You all right?

Yeah, yeah. Good.

How's your back?

I thought it was
getting better.

I feel like for the past
little while it was getting
better and better and then...

These little...
Just sharp little...

I was in the bathroom
a little while ago
and just felt this, like,

jolt of pain go up my spine.

I know this guy
who's a reflexologist

and he...
He fixes backs,
by, uh...

You know, reflexologists?ALEX: The... The foot?

Yeah, he massages
pressure points in the feet

and he actually fixes
back pain that way.

So you might have to
think about looking up
a reflexologist tomorrow

and checking that out,
because it could help.

I doubt there...
I doubt there are reflex...

You shouldn't dismiss it.
I think there's Africans,
when they get circumcised,

African women,
who wanna have their
clitoris reattached, they...

Plastic surgeons would take
the tip of their toe, they'll
sever the tip of their toe

and reattach it
to their vagina.

If there's a connection
between the tip of the toe
and the vagina,

there's probably a connection
between pressure points
in the foot and, like...

The energy that resides
at the base of the back.

The kundalini, which is...
Sounds like yours is
out of whack and...

So, I think it's worth
checking into, Alex.

Like, I'm really sensual
in the sack.

I like to kiss,
I like to cuddle,
I'm affectionate.

Mmm-hmm.Kissing's big.

And kissing's not easy
when you're having sex.

Yeah, I hear girls love it
when you kiss them during sex.Mmm-hmm.

Rachel! Do you guys kiss
when you...

Sure. Sure. Yeah, yeah.

Girls must love the beard
when you go down
on them, right?

'Cause then... Have they
ever told you that?
'Cause of the bristles.

Um...'Cause I had a goatee once,
right after college...

Remember when I had
a goatee, right after college?Yeah, yeah.

You looked...And I went down
on a girl and she said,

"I love the fact that
you have these sort of
sharp, bristly things..."

Oh, they like that?
The girls hate...This one girl did.

My... The girls that I
get with hate it when
I have a really short one,

when it's this really
short and bristly.

They like it when
it's soft, 'cause it's...

When it's long and soft.Right, right.

But otherwise,
it's like sand paper.

Yeah, it's like
a cat's tongue, you know?Yeah.

And the only...

I've only been with
a few girls that have actually
had a cat go down on them.

I've heard that cats
have dicks that hook back

and so, when they latch on,
it's harder for the female
to escape.

Have you heard this?
I don't know if it's just
like a horned dick.

No.Like with a curve at the end,
like hooks them in.

And you think
that's brilliant

'cause basically
all animal sex is rape,
I think. Right?

Oh, right!'Cause they don't really
ask for permission.

But that...
Why haven't we all
developed the hook dick?

It seems obvious.That's interesting. Right.

Now this is
an interesting... Ohh!

This is an interesting
connection.
This is your neck.

And that can be
both physical,

in terms of a crick
in the neck,
whiplash, whatever.

Or... I know, sweetie...
It can be, um...

Tied to a...
Someone who's being
a pain in the neck.

Quite often your mother,
although certainly,
potentially a female person.

I know, sweetie.

Basically, your neck
just said, "Hey, they're
all pains in the neck."

No gender specificity here.

It's all
a pain in the neck.

Yeah, yeah, you got
a point there, buddy.
You got a point there.

I heard that in Africa,
you know there's...

In some cultures there's
a strange tradition
of circumcising

women's genitalia.Yeah, yeah.

And sometimes they have these
Doctors Without Borders
or whatever,

and they actually try
to correct the surgery
later on.

Yes, yes.I don't know if you've
heard about this.

They actually... What they
do sometimes is that they
take a part of their toe

and put it where
the clitoris used to be.Yes, yes.

So is there, anatomically,
a part of the foot that
has a sexual center?

Because it is
the end of a digit,
for all practical purposes,

my guess would be...

Chances are good.

So, 50-50
would be my thought.

Ohh!

ALEX: Would it be possible to, like, sell some DVDs here or somewhere too?

Put up a little table
or something?

Let's go in here,
we'll talk about it now.

I'm gonna stay out here.
Can we eat? Can I eat this?

No! You have to just
stand here and look at it.

HENRY:
Oh, I can eat this.Don't eat. Don't eat.

We haven't had dinner yet.

It's so pretty...Well, what do you need...
Are we gonna go in there?

Just... Just...
Let's go this way.

MAN: Did you hear that?
It's coming from
over there, behind me.

That's a Pileated.
So we're going to stay
right here, Wes.

That's not the bird
I'm looking for.

ALEX: Okay. That's good.

Hey, Rachel,
how are you?

I'm just calling to, uh...

To call and... And...

Yeah, if you feel
like giving me a call,
I'd love to...

To, you know, to see...
Just to check in with you
and see how you're doing.

So give me a call
when you get a chance,
if you feel like it.

Okay, I hope
you're well, bye.

Frittata!

MAN: We have the gate band
concert on Saturday to try
to make some more money

to help buy this place
back from the bank
so we can really own it.

We're working
our way there, um...

As you can probably
see on the slides,

we, you know,
have the building fund
going on.

We really want to pay off
the bank this year,
so fork it over.

And keep coming
to the movies and all that.
We have, uh...

I Love You Phillip Morris
continues through Thursday,
starting Friday.

MAN: Who wrote that?ALEX: What's that?

MAN: Who wrote that?ALEX: The movie? I wrote it.

MAN: That's clever.Thank you.

It's one of the funniest
movies I've seen
in a long time.

Oh, that's nice, thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you, we tried to have
some fun with the...RIVER: Thank you.

Hey, how's it going?Hi. Good, how're you?

All right,
nice to see you again.Great to see you.

So, what made you
come out here?

I... You know,
it's just better
the second time.

Oh, thank you
very much. Yeah.

Congratulations!
You just...Well, thank you very much.

You keep getting
better with age.
I bought my DVD already.

Just... I don't know.Can I talk to you
for one second?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.'Cause I just...
I wanna...

One second.

RIVER: Yeah.ALEX: Hey.

Hi.How are you?

I'm doing well.
It's good.Oh, sorry!

What's going on?
What're you doing here?

I just... I wanted
to surprise you.

Well, it's a surprise,
it's a surprise.Surprise.

What's going?
Why'd you come here?Because I just...

I thought that we should
be together, right?

I mean, I thought
you would like it.

I just wanted
to make you happy.You thought I'd like it?

Yeah.

You thought I'd like it
for you to follow me
to the next town that I'm in?

Yeah.How did you get here?

I took the bus.

You took the bus
all the way out here?Yeah.

Okay.

River, that night
was just that night.

I'm sorry I have to be
so direct with you.

But we...That's it. Okay?
That's it.

That's... That's it.

Okay?

Wait, I don't know
what you're saying.I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be a dick.I don't understand.

I don't know how
to be any more clear
about this.

Look, I think it's really
cute and romantic and fun
that you came here.

But there's no chance
we're hooking up
again tonight. Okay?

Okay, that was a mistake,
I regret...

I don't mean
to be rude,
but I regret it.

I had... I had
a break in something...

What? A break?...and I got something
out of my system.

I just... I can't...
I have to go
sell some DVDs.

I can't really spend time
with this, right now.

Wait. I don't...
I don't know
what you're saying,

I don't understand.Hey, hey, go home.

Go home.What do you mean?

How can I be
any more clear
to you? Go home.

It's fucking over, okay?

It wasn't any...
There's nothing even to end.

What do you mean,
"It's over"?

What do you mean?Keep your voice down.
Keep your voice down.

Don't fucking touch me.I wanna touch you.

Shh!

Just relax. Okay, look,
I'll be back in one minute.

Okay? I'll be back
in one minute.

HENRY: So, she followed you out here?

ALEX: Yeah, she took
a Greyhound bus.

I think she researched
the next stop on the tour
and she just showed up.

Did you fuck her?

No, no! We talked
very briefly for like,
10 minutes

after one of the screenings
we had a few days ago
and like...

She thought there's
a brief connection.

We talked about birds
for like 10 minutes
and the movie

and she thought there's
this connection and now
we're like soul mates.

She never would've followed
someone out to another city

because of a conversation
about birds.
Okay, I don't...

She thought we're
meant for each other,
she thought it was destiny

and she thought it'd be this
really grand romantic gesture
for her to just surprise me.

She's really cute.Yeah.

We should take
her for a drink.

We should go have
a drink with her.

You know, if she's upset,
you know, she...

It's the least
you could do.

I don't want anything
to do with this girl.

She's clingy, she's needy,
she's unstable, trust me.

Well, you don't wanna
put her on a bus.

I mean, she came all the way
out here and she's feeling
a little bit out of it.

So we should, you know...
One drink.
She's really cute, man.

What I love about this place
is that it's haunted,
there's an actual ghost here.

Don't you think there's
something going on here?
Kismet?

That's like my favorite word.
That's a Turkish word.

RIVER: Kismet?Mmm-hmm.

It's a Turkish word.

It's like fate,
it's destiny.
How do ghosts fit in that?

Well, you know, two spirits,
two lost spirits,
having spirits

at a place that's
haunted by things.

You know,
everybody's got a ghost.

A skeleton
in the closet, right?

But the third and
the most important S...RIVER: You're so wise.

The most important S...
Thank you, so are you.

...is to celebrate your life.

But celebrate with an "S".

Not a "C", right?
Sounds crazy!

But it's not...
Here's the thing,

it's not just
important that you
spell things differently

and that you see
things differently,

and that you live
things differently...

You live your
life differently.

That's so brilliant!

Isn't it? So brilliant!You're so brilliant.

I am going to go celebrate
in the ladies room.

I'll be back.

She's fantastic.Yeah.

You guys are
really clicking.I love her.

What's the problem?

Maybe there isn't a problem.There's no problem at all.

You should go back
to the hotel

and I'll stay with her
and you know,
we'll just continue talking.

Oh, really? Yeah?Yeah, I mean, yeah.
This'll be great.

You sure?I'll take a taxi back.

You know, you shouldn't worry
about it, it's totally cool.

Really?Yeah, go back.

Yeah, it's fantastic,
I mean, this is great.

Okay, sounds great.
Well, good luck!Yeah, hopefully...

I don't think you
need it though.

Hopefully
I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. Yeah?

ALEX: Hey, Rachel, it's me.
Just calling to see
if you wanted to chat.

As the days go on
here on the road,
I have more time.

It's given me...

...a little bit more
perspective on things,

and I'm slowly,
sort of, you know...

I'm sort of looking back
on the... On what happened,
what went wrong and...

I feel like, you know,
I've had...

I've needed
to have this, sort of,
vision of myself

as a more successful
and more established
and more secure person.

I've been sort of
fixated on the future,
you know what I mean?

And I felt...
I've always felt like marriage
would maybe compromise

that possibility
for growth, if not
annihilate it, you know?

I felt like marriage
was like...

Those amber drops
that they put on insects,

to make them specimens,
you know, that...

That was sort of
my fear of marriage.

It would sort of
make me freeze...
Make me plateau.

So what
underlies that?

What underlies that
fear of stagnation?

What underlies...
What underlies
that fear of stagnation?

What...

It doesn't...

CONCIERGE: Hello, front desk.

Yes, hi, would it be possible
to get a late checkout
tomorrow morning?

Maybe an extra hour?

Sorry, sir,
we cannot do it.

Why not?

RIVER: And ever since
that incident...

HENRY: ...the piano
playing ceased...

RIVER: And as for
little Henry Holiday...

HENRY: ...he was allowed
to rest in peace.

RIVER: Aw!

HENRY: And then
his glasses are there
in front of the tombstone.

RIVER: He's dead.He's dead.

He's dead.It's stupid.

Oh, no, it's actually
brilliant because...No,

it's too dark.When do... No.

When do you ever
see a kid die
in a children's book?

It's great, I mean,
I love that he's dead.

Really?I mean, not that I
wanted him to die

because he's a great
protagonist but, like,

kids never get
to see people die

and you know they get told
all these lies, like, their
grandma went to the farm

or something...
No, their dog
went to the farm,

and that's just not true.

I appreciate that,
I agree with that
completely.

I think that the reason
why I want there to be
death in a children's book...

I've never seen death
so ostensibly portrayed
in a children's book...

Is so that kids
can be exposed

to bad things early in life
so they're more prepared
to deal with it later.

You know?Yeah, no,
it's a public service.

This is really...
This is a good education.

Good heart inside
your chest, I can feel it.

RIVER: Thank you.

HENRY: It's bleeding
right now, you probably
need a tampon for your heart.

Hey.

How'd you sleep?

I slept well.
How'd you sleep?

I slept really well.

Yeah, River, she stayed
here last night.

Guys stayed here
last night?Yeah.

When did you guys get in?

Just a couple of hours ago.

I haven't even been
asleep yet. I actually...

Let's talk outside
for a second.

I don't want
to wake her up.

I had one of the greatest
nights of my life
with her last night!

I mean, we just...
We just connected.
It was incredible.

I've never had an experience
like this before.

It's like looking
in a mirror
and seeing myself.

She's like the perfect height,
perfect intelligence.

It's hard to explain,
man, I would never

in a million years say
the word soulmate, but...

I think we're soulmates.

And she's got friends
in Shreveport

and I was thinking
that she would
ride along with us

and we could stay
with her friends.

And you know,
save money on the motel,
and you know...

You want her to go
on the tour with us?

Not the whole tour, just...

You don't even
know this girl.

That's the thing,
I feel like we've known
each other our whole lives.

I feel like this instant
kinda...connection, you know?

I've never had
this happen before.
It's amazing.

You really
like this girl, huh?

Yes...
I like her a lot.
It's incredible.

You know.

You know, what...
What does that mean?

That's what it is,
I think, you know?

And then an infinity symbol,
like the heart.

There's so many symbols and
logos going through my head
right now, thinking of her.

Let me... Let me just
have a cup of coffee.

Let me wake up a little bit

and we'll go from there,
let me just think about it
for a second, okay?

Yeah.

BOTH:
♪ If you want me,
you can have me

♪ Sideways, upside down,
any way you want

♪ Put it in all the way

♪ Put it in all the way

♪ I love you and I know you love me back

♪ Let me slide it in

♪ All the way
to your crack, is that?

BOTH:
♪ If you want me,
you can have me

♪ Sideways, upside down,
any way you want

♪ So come on

♪ Baby, come on

Alex, you know this shit.One, two, three!

♪ Come on!

♪ Baby, come on!

♪ Stop! ♪

HENRY: We are gonna totally
start a fucking band.

It's gonna be awesome!RIVER: That was so good.

My heart was feeling
a totally different number,
not 28.

I was feeling 33, that was
the age Jesus Christ was
when he died.

That was the age
of Chris Farley
when he died.

And I should have gone
with that, because
Chris Farley's image...

His face just
popped in my head.

But 28 is what
I was feeling as well.

But 33 ultimately is what
I should have chose.

ALEX: Mmm-hmm. 33.

You got close, though.Do you think the source
that's telling you 33

is the number
you should have drawn

is the same source
that told you initially that
28 was the right number?

You never know.
I feel like...

Now I'm thinking
the source is 33.

No, now you think it's 33?

HENRY: But what
was the number?
It landed on 30,

which is between
28 and 33 almost,
so I should have chose 33.

You know what,
stop the car...ALEX: What are you doing?

...because I'm going
to do it again.ALEX: Close the door.

I think you guys
stay in the car
this time.

Because I think you
were distracting me,
because you're gorgeous.

ALEX: Henry,
please get in the car.

You were distracting me
because you're defeatist.

I'm going to do what
I should have done
with all this money.

ALEX: Henry!Rest of the money
I have, by the way...

What're you doing?...on the age of Jesus
when he died, 33.

Your credit card debt,
say goodbye to it, because
it's going to be gone.

You're going to thank me
when I come back!Henry, Henry!

Last night, did you guys...

When you were hanging out
last night, did you...

Does he know how we met?

Does he know
that we had sex?

No, he doesn't know.

You guys didn't
talk about it?

It hasn't come up.He doesn't know
that we hooked up?

We've been talking about

a lot of fascinating,
wonderful, personal,
intellectual ideas.

We haven't talked
about you, I'm sorry.

Mr. Self-involved filmmaker.Okay, so...

Though he did mention
that you have a girlfriend
back home.

So he doesn't know
we had sex on the beach?

No, he doesn't.

If it did come up,
if he asked you,
would you tell him?

Yeah, I would tell him.
If he asks me,
I will tell him.

Why?Because I don't lie,
I'm not a liar.

You're not a liar?

I don't lie to people,
I don't lie to them
and take advantage of them.

You know, like some people...
Like some people who...

You know, they seem like
charismatic megafauna

and then you realize
that they're not really
charismatic at all.

Nor are their films even
that good when you watch
them a second time.

How did it go?
How'd it go?

HENRY: Was Jesus 32
or 33 when he died?

Because I thought
he was 33,

but then, I read
somewhere about the
Christian calendar being...

You know,
the Christian calendar
is totally off...

Okay, so River has
to go back to Jackson,
Mississippi, tomorrow

for her thesis class,

or she has to
teach a TA class
or something like that.

Okay.I think I'm going
to go with her.

Back to Jackson?Yeah, I'm going to get on
the bus with her and go back.

And I don't want to leave
you hanging, 'cause I know
this is your trip,

and, well, we're doing this
together and I've had
an amazing time.

It's been so amazing.

But I have to go with her,
I have to.

I keep thinking about
Shel Silverstein
and the way he died.

You know
who Shel Silverstein is?

Yeah, the comic.

No, he was...The illustrator.

He was an illustrator,
and wrote children's books. A Light in the Attic.

BOTH:
Where the Sidewalk Ends,
The Giving Tree.

All these great children's
books that he wrote, amazing.

But when he died, he died
alone, of a heart attack,
in his bedroom.

No one discovered him
for two days.

He was discovered
by his maid.

I keep thinking about that,
I don't want
to be that person.

All the great
children's books
that he wrote,

all the great songs
that he wrote,

stories that he wrote,
all the joy that he
brought to children's lives.

Ultimately, I'm just haunted
by this image of him
dead alone in his bedroom.

I don't want that
to be me, you know?

I want someone
to discover my body
relatively early after I die.

I think River could be
that person. You know?

I love her.
And I'm lonely, man.
It's like, it's...

I've been waiting my
whole life to meet
someone like this.

All the relationships
I've gone through,

they just don't work out,
you know, six months in,
year in.

It's not the person for me.
I get terrified of the thought
of being with someone.

After just a couple of days,
I really think I can spend
the rest of my life with her.

You don't know what
I'm talking about 'cause
you have Rachel in your life.

You probably forgot
what it's like to...
To be isolated or to be alone.

And I've always had
my work to fall back on,
my illustrations,

but I want
something more now.

And I feel like she
could be the person.

If I don't go with her,
I'm just gonna be thinking

about her
the whole time anyway.

So, when she takes
that Greyhound bus tomorrow,

I wanna be sitting
next to her.

Mmm, I think
you should, man.

I think, you know...
I think you should be sitting
beside her in that bus.

Yeah.Yeah, and I'm really
happy for you.

Like this is...And I don't wanna
leave you...

You don't have to ask
my permission,
of course I understand.

Yeah. So, tomorrow night,
you're going to Jackson.

Go comb your hair.

What do you mean?Go comb your hair,
it's a...

It's a Johnny Cash song.

Oh, really?Yeah.

HENRY: Shel Silverstein
wrote A Boy Named Sue.

ALEX: Shel Silverstein
wrote that song?Yeah, he wrote that.

ALEX: Really?Yeah.

There is a parade
in Baton Rouge
in an hour.

It's a pre-Mardi bra.

Mardi Bra?
Mardi Gras parade.

She just told me.Let's go. Why don't...
Can we go? Can we go?

ALEX: I don't know.
I'm not really a...

RIVER: Oh!

Hey! Oh!

Fuck!

Easy!

Alex, you gotta stop
calling me.

Yeah, I know.
But, look. I really need
to talk to you.

Okay, I've been doing
a lot of thinking.

I've had a lot of time
on the road

to just kind of look back
on our relationship.

It's given me a lot of
perspective on things and...

And I'm beginning
to sort of see...
I'm beginning to sort of see,

you know, I'm beginning
to make sense of things.

Okay, now when I used to, like, look up at the night sky

I used to kind of just see, like, these little dots.

These little, like, points of disagreement, and...

And the arguments
that we had.

But now I feel like
I look up and I see
a constellation.

You know what I mean?

I'm trying to
make sense of it,
so it's a constellation.

You know what I mean?
Does that make sense?

Look, Alex. I'm not ready
to talk about this stuff yet.

No, I know. But listen, just hear me out here. I just...

I'm realizing that I've been
really sort of fixated
on this future self.

Like a future version
of myself, a more successful,
and established and...

A secure version of myself.
I need that just to make
sense of myself, in a way.

And I've always feared
that marriage would somehow

just compromise that
possibility for that growth.

You know, so really,
there is a...

There's a fear of stagnation in place.

But what underlies that fear of stagnation? Right?

What's beneath it,
what are the roots of it?
You know?

Death! Death is the
underlying root of all this.

This fear of commitment,
this fear of marriage,

it's a reverberation
of my death anxiety.

Okay, that's what's going on.
It's all around us.
Death is everywhere.

It's the underlying fear
and that's the most...
It's ridiculous.

There is no way
to stop death.

There is no way
to really postpone
it for very long.

So if you realize
the absurdity of the
underlying fear,

then, you know,
any reverberatory fears,

you know, quadruply,
astronomically
more ridiculous.

Where are you going
with all this?

I'm going underground.

That's what I'm saying.
We all are,
we're all gonna die, okay?

By denying that,
we misdirect our search
for happiness.

I'm ready to die.
Which means
I'm ready to live.

And I'm ready to love you.
Which is actually why
I need you to fly down

to Louisiana
tomorrow afternoon.

So I can ask you something in person. So I could ask you something

I really, really, really don't wanna ask you on the phone.

What are you
talking about?

You want me
to drop everything,
get on a plane,

and fly halfway
across the country?

Yeah, just come down
for 12 hours.

I don't care
how much it costs.

I'm just begging you,
please, please, please,
come down.

I'm on my knees.
Okay, look,
I'm on my knees.

I just... I'm begging you
to please come down.

Alex, I'm tired.

I'm just driving back
from work. I've had
a really long week.

Maybe this is something
we can talk about
when you get back. Okay?

No, look.
There's a moment
happening here.

Okay, there is a moment
that I cannot risk
evaporating, okay?

And I need to seize
the moment.

Okay? Please. Look,
I'll fly you in,

spend one night,
and then you can fly back.

Rachel, come on!
I'm begging you.

I see the constellation, okay?

Just give me
a second chance.

Okay, I'm begging you.

All right? I...

Just... Just get
on the fucking plane.

I don't understand the rush.
I mean, why don't you just
ask her when you're back...

I don't know.
I just thought it'd
be romantic and...

You know, spontaneous,
impulsive...

Impulsive...ALEX: You know what I mean?

Yeah!
Impulsive, you know?

HENRY: I don't think
it's that impulsive.

He's been dating her...It's a little impulsive.

...for three, four
and a half years.

Constantly? Perpetually?ALEX: Oh, yeah, yeah.

HENRY: Alex is not
a compulsive person.

Impulsive and spontaneous.What have you done impulsive?

Oh, I don't know, but...This week,
what have you done...

I just think it would
be nice, if you know,
I can tell my kids

down the road,
"Hey, guess how I proposed
to your mother?" You know?

On a whim, I just
called her up.
It'll be a nice story.

HENRY: That's cool,
because we're part
of the story, you know.

ALEX: And you guys
are part of the story.

HENRY: On the southern
director's tour and...Yeah.

And 80 years from now,
when you're on your
third marriage,

and you talk to your
grandkids about your
first wife, you know.

We'll be part of that,
part of the story.
That'll be amazing.

That's great!
That's fantastic, man.

Congratulations. Kanpai! Kanpai!

Kanpai!

Empty. Sorry, bad luck.Oh, okay.

Would you guys mind
if I dropped you off
a little bit early

at the bus station
tomorrow, like, around
2:00 or 2:15?

That way I can get
to the airport
without being late.

Yeah, that's fine.
No problem.ALEX: All right.

RIVER: Oh!

It's not letting me
click on 3:00.
I think it's actually...

It's sold out.

On a Tuesday,
they're sold out
at 3:00 already, really?

Strange.There's another
bus at 8:00.

Going to Jackson,
we could do that.

ALEX: You think it
allows you to click
on the 8:00 but not the 3:00?

Yeah, it does, it's weird.

So, how much
is this one here?

This one here
is sold for $8,550.

The only thing that
I can think of that we have

that will go in that
price range will be
maybe this, I mean...

It's emerald, as far
as your color.

The stone itself,
I think it's...

A gem stone, but...ALEX: Okay. Okay.

So I mean, if that's
her birthstone, I think
that would be nice.

ALEX: Okay, yeah.
And how much
does this go for?

$24.99.

ALEX: And the box
is included?

I got it.Let's see it.
Let's see it.

Check it out.
You guys ready?Yeah.

Oh, look at that.Ah!

That's pretty.
That's nice.You guys don't like it?

I like it.No, it's very green.

So, that's something.

I mean... Well...What does that mean?

Well, it's a green box
and a green stone.

Like, probably, what?
A gem stone.

It's an emerald,
it's her birthstone.

I don't think
that's an emerald.

I think it looks nice.That's not an emerald,
that's a gem stone.

That's like,
that's some kind of...

Emerald is a type of gem.

How are you?Good.

It's nice
to see you.You too.

I'm sorry I'm late.It's okay.

Thank you so much
for coming.Sure. No problem.

You want me
to get your bag?No.

I got it.You sure?

Yeah, no, no.
I got it.I can grab it.

You're a wild boy,
you're a wild boy.

All right, so
the co-op is...No, they...

Do you like arugula and
quinoa and stuff like that?

Hey, guys.They have
all that kind of...

How's it going?

Rachel...

What's up?
You look great.I'm good.

And this is River.
Rachel, River.Hi.

Hi.

Hey, so you guys
want to get going?

HENRY: I got a studio space,
but I don't really
use it that much.

I try to go on location
as much as possible
when I'm working.

Like I actually went,

believe it or not,
to a graveyard when
I was doing a lot of

the conceptual sketches
for the book.

Actually, it was there,

around, surrounded
by death constantly

to the right of me,
to the left of me,
in front of me.

It was cool.
I actually was inspired.
I could see, I've never...

Draw the...
I drew the graveyard,
of course,

when I saw it was
great from 360 angles,
and that kind of thing.

But there's something else,
something morbid, that
kind of seeped into me.

I felt like I was
possessed or something
while I was writing.

Do you think
it's that building?
That kind of looks like...

I can't see.
Oh, Atkinson, this is it.

It's Atkinson.
See, it's on the inside.Okay.

Okay, all right.
This is it,
Atkinson Hall.

All right! So...

You know, intro is gonna be
a few minutes of Q and A.
You wanna meet here...

What time?

Let's meet here at 4:30.Okay.

Does that work for you?Yeah.

You guys know
where you are?Uh-huh.

You're not gonna
get lost?No.

See you later.Okay.

I'm gonna go
introduce the movie.
You wanna come in or...

Uh, yeah.

You sure?
You don't have to.

No, no, no.
I'll come in.Okay.

Okay, class.
We're going to watch
the Woodpecker,

and as an added treat,
we have the writer
and director,

Mr. Alex Karpovsky,

here to watch it with us
and answer any
questions afterwards.

So everybody give him
a round of applause.

Thanks a lot. Thank you.

All right. Well, thank you.
Thank you very much for coming
here, for watching my film.

I really appreciate it.
Most of the venues

where I've been
showing my film
on the tour

have been little
art house theaters

and auditoriums
in college campuses,

where we show
the film at night.

So, it's kind of a...
It's a treat for me.

It's nice to do
something different,

to show the movie
in a classroom environment.

With a production class.

But I hope you enjoy it.
I'll be here for a Q and A
after the film

where maybe we can get into
some of the details about
the film and the process.

Okay, enjoy the film.
And I'll see you
soon. Bye-bye.

Did you get the sense
that everyone in that
classroom was high?

There was this look
in their eyes where they
all just seemed

totally glazed over
and baked.

Or maybe that's just
an old man looking
upon the youth.

ALEX: I kind of
almost even think
of those as sister

anxieties,
or companion anxieties,

because one, like,
ricochets off the other.

When one is affected,
there's kind of a
ripple or trickle down.

And in a way, I kind of
think of those two

as almost like
a binary star system.

It's like one kind of
just orbits the other.
But there's still a kind of...

They're still part
of the constellation
as a whole.

You know, they're still
part of the whole framework.
You know what I mean?

I don't care about
constellations
and reverberations

and ricocheting.

How do you expect me
to believe that after

seven years of being
in a relationship,

that you've had these
epiphanies and you've
become this new man?

You're telling me
that all of your fears

that have fully informed
you and your personality

are now just
completely gone?

That now you're just
ready to just jump back
into the relationship

as this new person?

Yeah, epiphanies happen.

You know, sometimes I think,
especially
in extraordinary situations,

you know, you can have
real breakthroughs like...

Look, the last week,
for better or for worse,
has been, you know...

In a way, it's been
an extraordinary week.

We've never fully properly
broken up before.

You know, and it's
forced me to think

in a very unfamiliar,
unexplored place

that has turned over
a lot of stones for me.

It's been very
illuminating, you know...

It's been a week.

Look, I'm not saying
Rome was built...

Okay, I know Rome
wasn't built in a day.
I know it's gonna take time.

But you know, I feel like
I'm making progress.

I feel like I'm making
very significant insight
that's gonna lead to very...

You know, various...
Significant progress.

But, look, I also think
you know, if you...

If you really just sort of...
Spotlight...

Put all the spotlight
and focus on certain fears,

then they can evaporate,
you know...

I don't care about
any of that stuff.

Do you love me?

Do you wanna spend
the rest of your
life with me?

Are you gonna be
fully honest and open?

Am I gonna stifle you?

I love you with
every part of my heart,
every part of my being.

Okay?

I wanna spend the rest
of my life with you.

I think being with you
will be
the opposite of stifling.

I think it will open
up a whole new
world to explore.

And I can't wait
to explore that with you.

And that's why I wanted
to fly you down here.
Okay, to tell you all this.

And also to ask you,
you know, a very important
question, which I didn't...

Kind of wasn't preparing
to do it anyway.

Just... So I wanna
ask you something.

I don't want you
to answer now.

'Cause I don't wanna put
that pressure on you.

Within the next few days.
Whenever you're ready.

I'm glad you flew down.
I'm glad you're here.

It means so much to me.
I'm glad I was able
to tell you this in person

and finally ask you
this question.

So...

Rachel, will you marry me?

Okay?

Is it too tight?Yeah.

I don't think
it's gonna...Well, if you...

Does that hurt?Yeah.

That's good.It's...

It's fine, it's fine.

It's emerald,
it's your birthstone.

Matches your eyes nicely.
It looks really nice.

I think if you...

If you actually
hold it the other way...

What's wrong?

It's just a spasm.
All right, it'll go away.

Since when do you get
back spasms?

I hurt my back.

Actually I hurt it...

Oh! I better just
try sitting somewhere.There's...

There's, like, scratches
all over your back.
Is that where it's from?

Scratches?Yeah.

They're all over
your back.

Well, I don't
really see them.

Oh, I see them
a little bit.

No, I mean they're
like all over.

Oh, in the back.
Yeah. I wonder...

Oh, you know what?
I think me and Henry were...

We were driving and we
pulled off on the side of
the highway to try to pee.

But we pulled
in this terrible spot,
there was all these...

...bushes, like these
scratchy bushes,
and I think I kind of...

I had to get in there
to get out of the highway

so people wouldn't
see my dick, you know, so...

Got all scratched up.

I mean, you can't
even see it though.

Have you been
with anyone since
you moved out?

Have I been with anyone?

Like, have I hooked up
with someone else?

Yeah.
Or anything like that.

No.

You promise?

Yes!

Okay.

It looks really nice on you.
It matches your eyes.

Does Cat in the Hat...
Like, was that
a euphemism for something?

How is it disgusting?
You're wearing...

Hey, guys,
how's it going?...new dresses...

Good, how are you?

All right, we've got
a few minutes.

Yeah? Hey, can I talk
to you for a second?

Sorry.Yeah.

Let me talk to you
for a second.
Come here, come here.

For a second.I'll be right back.
What?

HENRY: What did she say?ALEX: What's that?

HENRY: What did she say?
Did you ask her?

ALEX: She said, uh...

Hmm.

You're so pretty.

And you look beautiful
with that ring on and...

Congratulations.

Uh...

It's a little complicated.Hmm.

But I asked her
not to answer
the question.

But she allowed me
to put the ring
on her finger.

She's wearing the ring?She's wearing
the ring right now.

That's great.
You're engaged!Yeah, it's like a soft yes.

That's awesome.
Give me a hug.Yeah.

That's fantastic.
Congratulations.
You're a husband.

Well, yeah!She is... This is...

It's exciting
in a lot of ways.It is exciting.

Tragic too,
in some ways.Yeah.

But there's a 50% chance
it's gonna work out
for you.

You know, that's
really great!

So you've been
traveling with them long?

Like three days.
Few days, few days.

Like a lifetime though,
you know.

You're having
a good time?

Um, it's a little...

It's interesting.

Hmm.

Good.

Do you know anything about
scratches on his back?

Is that a band?

No, like...

Like scratches.
Like, Alex has scratches
all over his back.

Do you have any idea
what that's from?

I don't know,
they could be from anything.

You have no idea?

Hey, I mean,
I have a few ideas.

I always have
ideas about things.

Like, I have a very
vivid imagination.Well, I mean...

I can imagine
a lot of things.I know.

But do you know
where they're from?

I was thinking maybe
I would do the invitations
to the wedding.

Oh, that's a great idea.
The illustrations.

I would draw
the pictures for them,
you know.

Maybe do art cards.
Maybe do like an actual...That's a good idea.

An actual piece of art.

Look, I'm asking you,
do you know about the
scratches on his back?

Do you know
where they're from?

Why can't you
just answer me?

I don't know where
they came from exactly.

I can't be sure.

Because I haven't seen them.

Did you fuck Alex?

You're asking me that?

You just got engaged.
Okay?

You don't wanna
ask me something
like that.

That's not what a person
who's just got engaged...

Did you fuck him?
Did you fuck
my boyfriend?

So, this is awesome, man.

Yeah, I'm really excited.

She doesn't look
excited, though.

What's going
on over there?Is she excited?

Why would you ask me...

Why won't you answer me?
Did you fuck Alex?

Yes, I fucked him, okay?
And he fucked me right back.

That's what happened.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Relax. What's wrong with you?

You couldn't
keep your mouth shut,
you fucking evil witch!

You fucked her?

TEACHER: Okay, well,
it looks like
Alex isn't here yet.

Does anybody have anything
they want to mention?

Hey, Rachel.

Rachel, could you
stop, please?

Rachel?

Hey!

Where are you going?

Open the car and get my bag.

Where are you going?I'm leaving.

You going to the airport
and you're gonna fly away?

Yeah.

Open the car.

Look, I'm sorry.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

In the grand scheme
of things, I didn't think
it mattered.

Okay?

You asked me if
I hooked up with anyone.

In the grand
scheme of things,

in terms of what
I was trying to
communicate to you

in the moment,
in terms of our plans
for our future together,

my hopes for
my future with you,
it did not matter.

And I still feel
like it doesn't matter.

Just give me my bag.

You're sick.

You're sick.

ALEX: Here you have
this incredible,
glorious creature,

one of the most
beautiful birds to ever
fly in North America.

And then, because of
our own stupidities,

deforestation,
our negligence,

it was allowed
to fade away.

It disappeared,
it went extinct.

And then we find out
60, 70 years later,

that, perhaps it's been
miraculously revived.

And, uh...

Here we have
an unbelievable
opportunity to...

To learn from our mistakes.

To find the bird,
to protect its habitat,

and perhaps, set an example
for other endangered species.

However, more recently,

I realized that
there's no such thing
as second chances,

because we're gonna make
the same mistakes again.

Sooner or later,
it's gonna happen.

And if we're doomed
to make the same
mistakes again,

then in principle,

we can't really have
a true and free
second opportunity.

And the reason we're doomed
to make the same mistakes
again is...

Is because we don't change.

Fundamentally,
we'll never
be able to change.

We're all going to make
the same mistakes again
in one form or another,

until we die.

A great poet once said,
"Hope is the thing
with feathers."

A great, glorious thing
that allows us to fly

high above the thought
of our imminent extinction.

Now, my feathers
have been plucked,

my feathers
have been scattered.

But maybe one day
they will find me again.

Somehow, somewhere
down this lonely
American road.

WOMAN: I understand,
but I still can't give you

a late checkout
tomorrow morning.

Why not? After everything
I've told you.

After explaining to you
that my heart has been ripped
out of my chest, okay?

I've been abandoned
by everyone I know,

that I'm gonna have
to continue the rest of this
frittata tour all by myself.

My back is
raging with pain.

Okay, I'm not gonna be able
to sleep comfortably

for more than 20 minutes
in a row tonight, okay?

You can't give me
one extra hour
to lick my wounds?

WOMAN:
That's correct, sir.
Those are the rules.

Right.

Right, rules are rules, right?
Gotta follow the rules, right?

Gotta follow the rules, right?

Rules and regs.

What's the point of living
in a world that's this cold,

this unforgiving,
this harsh. Hmm?

What happened to a random
act of kindness to a stranger?

What happened to that?

What's the point? Look, if you wanna
stay an extra hour

tomorrow morning,
I'm gonna charge you
for an extra day.

Okay. Well, you know, I...

I guess I'll take my
pain killers and hope,

you know, my back pain
isn't too
terribly excruciating.

And, you know,
if I end up needing
an extra, you know,

half an hour or hour
of sleep tomorrow morning,

you can go ahead and charge
me for the whole day rate,
just charge it on my card.

Go ahead, use the card.

Okay.Mmm-hmm, yeah.

Charge...
Put it on the card.

Yeah, charge it up. Okay, sir,
you have a great night.

All right,
have a better night.

Okay.

Thank you for calling
Bank Of America.

This is Barbara,
how may I help you?

Hi, Barbara. I seem
to have misplaced
my credit card.

And I was wondering
if you could maybe
freeze it, you know.

Put a freeze on it and
maybe send me a new one?

"Goodbye, everyone.

"Some of you

"will remember me

"as a kind friend,

"a caring brother,

"or a..."

Something filmmaker.

What kind of a filmmaker?

"Gifted."

"Adroit."

"Or as an adroit
filmmaker.

"But most of you

"will remember me as..."

As what?

NEWSCASTER: Global network that supports our lives can act as a conductor.

...240 nano-Tesla is going to be mind-boggling,

leaving us fully exposed to the fury of the sun.

MAN: A nano-Tesla is a measure of electro-magnetic power.

The biggest solar storm recorded in 1859

is estimated to have been around 200 nano-Teslas.

The one now moving
towards Earth
is unprecedented.

Housekeeper.

Housekeeper.

It's 12:30.

Housekeeper.

Housekeeper.

Sir, checkout time
is 12:30.

It's 12:30 now?

Yes.

Am I dead?

Get out of here.
Because the police
is on its way.

I told you,
you couldn't do it.

Hey, excuse me.

Excuse me.

You forgot something.
This is yours.

What's that?This is yours.
You left this.

Oh, yeah. I was...

I was writing down
some notes last night.

It's for a project.

Internet was down,
so I had to...

HOUSEKEEPER: Mmm-hmm.

Do you know why
they never give people
late checkouts?

Rules are rules.
Applies to everybody.

Even for adroit
filmmakers like yourself.

Got it.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything...
Everything is fine.

Things are horrible.

Do you need a hug?

Do you want a hug?

Okay.

Do you wanna come
to Shreveport with me?

HOUSEKEEPER: How long
are you going for?
