Holidays (2016) - full transcript

HOLIDAYS is an anthology feature film that puts a uniquely dark and original spin on some of the most iconic and beloved holidays of all time. The film challenges our folklore, traditions and assumptions, making HOLIDAYS a celebration of the horror on those same special days' year after year. A collaboration of some of Hollywood's most distinct voices, the directors include Kevin Smith (Tusk), Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Scott Stewart (Dark Skies), Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer (Starry Eyes), Sarah Adina Smith (The Midnight Swim), Nicholas McCarthy (The Pact), Adam Egypt Mortimer (Some Kind of Hate), and Anthony Scott Burns (Darknet).

Maxi-pad!

You know what

Looks like someone
wants a kiss!

Ooh!

Well?

Well, what? He loves me.

He didn't give you detention?

Detention? Please, girl.

How he gon' give me detention
when he knows we gon' set this
up on Friday!

Huh?



Well, no, Valentine's is, uh,
Valentine's is tonight...

Why... why would we go Friday?

Well, I can't do Friday.

Well, no, you know,
the, the talent show.

Talent show fund raiser

no, no, the talent show
that the kids organized
for my operation.

Aw.

Did you really think
Mr. Rockwell was trying

to kiss your little rat lips?

Hmm?

Hmm?

Hey! I'm talking to you,
maxi-pad.

No, no,
i know, but, you know,
it's a nice gesture,

you know how much
these kids love me.

Not like that.

No, they look up
to me, Kim, all right.

And I'd be a real jerk
to ditch out on my own
fundraiser, don't you think?

You really think
he'd go for you?

Over me?

Just wait until he sees the
twerking routine we came up
with for the talent show.

Real Nicki Minaj shit.

That's fine. No, no, no,
you know what, that's great.

Ya, I love you too.

Heart and lung foundation

mr, Rockwell,
we regret to inform

what are you doing
to get him a new heart?

Did you organize
a talent show?

Are you gonna perform
something? Hmm?

Ooh, I know.
How about a little game
of show and tell?

First you show everybody
your little friend,
Mr. box cutter.

And then just watch
as those donations pour in

when you tell them
it's the same toy your
dear dead daddy

killed himself with.

I gotta meet Rick.

Uh, you're not going
to go take a shower?

No, I'll take one at home.

I heard this one
has rats in it.

stop following me, maxi-pad.

You're acting
really weird today,
even for you.

Well, go ahead.

Well, I'm gonna cut
through the woods.
See you tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's day.

What are you doing?

You don't even live this way.

Stop following me.

Now look what you did!

I... I... I was just kidding.

We're going to be late.

Well, I thought
i had until Friday.

Why would you think that?
Valentine's day is tonight!

Give me
your heart

shamrocks.
Irish dancing.
Parades of green.

These are some of the
images that come to mind
when we think

of St. Patrick's day.

On weekends I play with my
magical whores

but who exactly
was St. Patrick?

And how did he deliver
the word of god to Ireland?

a land once in the
grip of druids, pagans,
and devil worshippers?

Patrick banished all
of the snakes from Ireland
by tossing them into the sea.

Although evidence
suggests there were
no snakes in Ireland

during the 5th century.

Most scholars believe this
to be a metaphor.

St. Patrick's expulsion
of the pagans and mystics.

Long may Ireland
let slip from memory
its paganistic days of old.

Hiya, grainne.

That's very pretty.
Who is it for?

Okay.

Look. I know
how hard change is,

coming to a new school,
not having any friends.

But I bet if you were
to show us that smile
just for a second,

it would make
all the difference
in the world.

Do you know what?
I have an idea.

Would you like to ring
the lunch bell?

Only your deepest wish
can make me smile

hiya, it's me.

I can't chat for long.
I'm here waiting for Sam.

He's insisted I park
away from the school
because apparently

I'm not cool.

Yeah, it's your
holy communion photo,
not the dogme 95 movement.

I get new contact lenses
with "hope" printed on the
insides.

Apparently clinical trials
suggest it may help

the cynical wheel
of self-loathing
from turning.

I hate myself.

Anyway, I can't wait
to see you this weekend
for paddy's day.

We'll get fucked up, yeah?
Find you a man?

Day 1

I went back to the bar
but there was no sign
of you and that

Danny zuko wannabe
you were talking to.

Would you call me, you think?

I'd like you to pick
your favorite book,

write a page about
why you like it,

and score the book
out of ten.

Hand in date is
two weeks from today.

Okay, everybody,
page 38, circles.

Day 13

fuck! Hiya, grainne.

What?

Now, hang on.

That's not very
appropriate, grainne.

Mrs. Cullen?

You are pregnant.

I fucking knew it!

I just can't believe it!

Oh! I've waited
so long for this.

However,
we're not certain with what.

Well, if it's a boy or a girl,
that doesn't matter to me.

We'd like to run
some further tests.

Although,
if the results indicate
a false positive,

we'd need to operate
immediately and remove it.

I'm pregnant.

Ooh.

Did... did you understand
what I said?

Mmm-hmm,
it's totally grand,
boy or girl,

whatever I get, I'm happy.

I am so happy.

Were you with somebody
recently, or some
animal of some kind?

No.

Okay, have you ever
seen the Hollywood movie
Rosemary's baby?

If you replace '"baby"
with "reptile",

that's what you have.

It's like Rosemary's reptile.

Huh?

The story of prince lindworm
brother, prince, snake

book report

love this tale of terror
ten out of ten

grainne, what is this?

Grainne, what is this?

Grainne, what is this?

Stop smiling!

Day 366

She says you look like
a 25-year-old woman
from the middle ages,

spliced with
a mentally ill circle.

I'm booking an appointment
with Dublin zoo.

There's no excuses
this time, Liz.

Hi,
can I help you
with anything?

I'm, I'm really sorry.
That's not really,
that's not...

That's not really okay.

I'm sorry. I'm just going
to have to take that.

I'm sorry. You're going
to have to leave.

The zoo just called,
they said you never turned up
for your appointment.

I know you're probably
saying to yourself, "what if
the vet's got it wrong?"

Let me impart some
important advice I learned
a long time ago, the hard way.

Vets don't get things wrong.

Giving birth to a snake
is not only suicide,

it's probably the most
wrong-headed thing
ever attempted

in the field of
human endeavor.

The only thing you have
to do to make our family happy
is just come home.

Alone.

Shh.

Shh.

It'll all be over soon,
i promise.

Shh. Shh.

I need you to help me
get clean of this, okay?

Horrible, isn't it?

You cannot remember.

But you can't forget.

Grainne,
this is your father?

Danny fucking zucko?

Our little boy
is waiting.

Look, I know you think
she's different,
but she's not.

She'll run a mile
when she claps
eyes on him.

Just wanted a normal baby.

It's not fair.

Blah blah blah.

But just look
how quickly she forgets.

Don't make me laugh.

She's the same
as the rest of them.

I'm so sorry.

I had no idea.

He'd be so damn ugly.

You'd be so beautiful.

Very good, little one.
Very good.

Let's go!

I bet there's
a whole lotta disenchanted
folk out there

just waiting
for a bouncing snake
to lighten up their lives.

I bet if we tap into
that lonely miserable
demographic,

in a few short years
and a bit of luck,

we might just hit
pre-Patrick numbers.

Oh, my beautiful baby!

Only your deepest wish
can make me smile

st Patrick's day greetings

happy
St. Patrick's day

written and directed by
Gary shore

time to close your eyes
and go to sleep.

It's a special day tomorrow.
Someone's coming tonight.

I'll give you a hint.

He's furry.

And he hops.

And you wake up
in the morning
and you get...

Candy eggs and candy chicks.

Yes. But here's the thing.

No kid has ever seen him.

Because all the kids are
supposed to be asleep
when he comes. Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Close your eyes.

Wait.

I'm scared.

Why? Are you afraid
you're going to have
a bad dream?

The man coming back
from the dead.

What man?

Jesus.

In church they said that
easter was about him
coming back from being dead.

What about the easter bunny?

Is he dead too?

No, the easter bunny's
different.

Is Jesus real?

Yeah, he was real.

-He was?
-Yeah.

But he was a good man.

And you know what?

Yes, he died,
but when he came back,
that was a good thing.

It was a miracle
that he came back.

He flew up into the stars
and he went back
where he came from.

And he lives
in our hearts now.

It's kind of like a scary
version of e.T.

Yeah, but he wasn't a story,
he was real.

What about the easter bunny?

Well, the easter bunny
comes on easter.

But I thought that's when
Jesus came back from the dead.

Uh...

No, it's... that's different.

I don't understand, mommy.

Oh, honey, just
close your eyes
and go to sleep.

And tomorrow you are going
to wake up and there will be

candy chicks and eggs
and yummy stuff.

But what if I'm awake
when he comes?

What if I get up
and get a glass of water?

It's okay to get
a glass of water.

No, but what if he's here?
What if I see him?

Shh. Honey. Just go to sleep.

Mommy.

How does he get in the house?

Shh.

Okay.

I'm gonna count to three,
and I want those eyes shut.

All right? One.

Two.

Three.

You're going to wake up
tomorrow and it's going to be
exactly like last year.

Mommy?

Last year, daddy was here.

Will he ever come back?

Maybe.

Go to sleep, baby.

Mommy?

This is a dream.

You're not real.

Touch me.

No child has ever seen me.

I won't... I won't tell anyone
i saw you.

But now that you've seen me.
Now it is your turn.

You must take my place.

Take... take your place?

You will see things
few have ever seen.

Magical things.

But what if...
What if I don't want to?

You have no choice.

Can I... can I come back
and see my mommy?

Where you're going,
you will never see your
mommy ever, ever again.

Now close your eyes.

Honey?

Honey?

Honey?

Best easter wishes

you know,
there are only a few days
in any woman's cycle

where she's capable of
conceiving.

And you're on,
generic high dose progestin?

Do you take it
at the same time every day?

Mmm-hmm.
-You're sure?

He wears two condoms.

Hmm?

I ask him to wear two condoms.
Sometimes three.

And you've terminated
nearly 20 pregnancies?

I've stopped counting.

-I'm sorry, I...
-It's okay.

I've been to see
so many doctors.

My family won't talk to me.

My friends think I'm insane,

or making it up, or just...

It's...

It's like I'm cursed.

I don't usually do this.

But it does feel
like you've exhausted
all other options.

I'm going to give you
my sister's phone number.

She volunteers at these
weekend fertility ceremonies
in the high desert.

Maybe she can give you some
sort of insight that the rest
of us haven't been able to.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's probably not for me,
but I appreciate it.

Kate, if what
you've told me is true

then I don't think
conventional medicine
can help you.

What happens
at the ceremony?

Well, um,
have you ever participated
in a peyote ceremony

or ayahuasca, or any
kind of ceremonial medicine?

It can be
an intense experience.

Um, but if you're open to it,
I think that you can
really learn something.

I know I'm going to get
pregnant this time.

I know it. I know it.
Sometimes it takes
many times

to come here
before you do.

I think you have
to let go of the trying.

Yeah, I get nervous sometimes.

Make yourself at home.
The ceremony will start
in an hour.

How old are you?

Twenty-four.

What's the rush?

I'm actually
not trying to have
a baby right now.

Then what are you doing here?

I get pregnant
every time I have sex.

Sounds rough.

No. No. No. No.

You are a gateway.

No, I have to go home.
No, I have to get out of here.

No, I have to go home.
No, I don't want to be here.

It's just the medicine.
Trust it.
It's just the medicine.

Every time you end
the life inside of you,

it will come back stronger.

Sleep

sleep, little bird

when the time comes

do not resist

do not say no

good morning, sleepyhead.

Do you want a bath today?

Yeah.

Okay.

One, two, three, up.

Okay.

You're gonna be
such a good mama.

You've been very patient.

I think we need to
increase her dose.

No, we can't give her
more than three drops.

It's not good for the baby.

Lily, she's fine.

- Morning.
- Sister.

Started getting
so hot out there.

Yeah, it always
heats up in may.

Happy mother's day, mama.
We're almost there.

Blood pressure
is a little high.

Has anybody tried
calling her phone?

No, poor girl.

How's she been this week?

Not so good.
I mean, we could use you
around here more often.

Well, I can't spend all
my time out here,

Well, you don't know
what it's like here.
It's really hard.

I am here every weekend.
I'm going back and forth.

Yeah, well, I think
you should stay with her
from here on out.

It's the last month.

I can't take a whole month
off of work, Lily.

God damn it, you idiot!

Don't yell at her.

No wonder she has
high blood pressure,
living here with you guys.

She can't
hear us anyways.

It's okay. Come on.
Come with me. Come on.

Okay.

Classical
or contemporary today?

I'm feeling contemporary.

911,
what's your emergency?

My name is Kate polson.

I'm... I've been kidnapped.

I can't hear you, miss,
can you speak up?

I need help.

Fire, ambulance, or police?

Police, please. Please hurry.

What's the address?

Oh. Um...

It's like, it's a house.
Um, ten miles north
of the highway.

It's a... ah!

Oh, god!

Be careful.

- Careful!

That was stupid,
look what you did!
What's happening?

She's
going in to labor,
that's what's happening.

God. Okay.

Just breathe.
Just breathe.

The more you accept it,
the easier it will be.

All right, come on,
just push. Push for me.

- Good girl.

Push, Kate. Push.
Almost there, almost there.

probably not.

Yeah, I'm going to be here
grading these papers
all weekend.

Yeah, I know,
it's 52 this year.

Happy father's day

hi, Carol.

It's me. Your daddy.

I'm so sorry.
Daddy had to leave you.

I never loved anything
more than you.

You were my miracle.

I wanted so badly
for you to come with me.

For us to be together.

Your mother and I,

we just didn't see things
the same way.

It's so important that
you know it wasn't your fault.

And that you know that I am

so, so sorry
I wasn't there for you.

If you're hearing
this message,

I, I can't imagine the pain

that I've caused you.

But it's not too late
for us to be together.

I left this message in trust
with good people.

I told them to
give this to you
when you were old enough,

strong enough.

I didn't want
to leave you there all alone.

It wasn't my choice.

So, if you want to see me,

to find me,

continue where we left off,

I can be there for you now.
If you're ready.

Just go to where
we played that day,

our last day together.

Go there, turn the tape over,

press play
and I will guide you.

You will always be my baby,
no matter what you choose.

I just hope
you'll have it in you
to forgive me.

Remember, daddy loves you
forever, Carol.

This isn't fair.
This isn't fucking fair.

How could you
do this to me, mom?

All these years?
He was alive?

I missed him so much.

You fucking call me back
the minute you get this.

Bitch!

Carol! Come on, baby,
it's time to go!

Okay, five more minutes,
then we have to go.

Okay!

Hello, Carol.

I hope that you've come,
and are ready to see me again.

Listen carefully,
and I'll help you find me.

Yeah, okay,
you got your backpack?

Yeah.

Hey, let's go
this way today, okay?

Where are we going?

First we're going
towards the exit.

Then we are headed south,
on revelle Avenue.

South? Where's south?

It's this way.

Come, let's hold hands
while crossing.

How come
you're carrying that?

I'm making a message
for a friend.

Do I know them?

Yes, honey.
You know them.

Turn right on third.

what's it say?

Just where to find us.

Why?

Because they need help.

Look at this, dad!

Wow,
that's a good looking stick.

It looks
like a magic wand.

It does look magic.

- How much further?
- We're almost there.

Go left at marmont coming up.

I promise this will
all make sense in the end.

Walk to 433 marmont.

You know that I love you
very much, right?

I love you too, daddy.

And that I only want
what is best for us.

That's why I picked
you up today, honey.

Daddy has to go somewhere

and I needed to see you
before I left.

Where are you going?

I'm going to
a very special place.

But don't worry,
you'll come and visit me soon.

Always remember this, Carol,

the person who risks nothing,

has nothing, is nothing,

and becomes nothing.

I don't want you to go.

I know.

But I have to.

We're here.

The front door should be open.

You'll come see me
as soon as you're ready.

- I'm ready.
- I wish you were.

But I'll miss you.

I'll miss you more
than you'll ever know.

Come, we have to go inside.

Here, let daddy carry you.

Why do you have to go?

Be strong for daddy.

We're almost together again.

You are so close now.

What's that picture?

It's called an icon.

It's a symbol of faith.

Okay, honey, will you sit here
and wait for daddy?

I have to go talk
to that nice lady over there.

You're not
going yet, are you?

Not yet.

I just need to talk
to the lady.

- Promise?
- I promise.

Hey, you're such
a strong girl, and I am
so proud of you.

I'm here for my appointment,
to speak with you.

Thank you.

Once I go,

will you make sure
that she's taken care of?

Dad! Dad!

Dad! Dad!

I'm sorry.

Daddy! Daddy!

It wasn't
my choice, Carol.

You...

You only get once chance
to meet him,

to visit this place.

That's why
I made this for you,

and I pray that it found you,

so that you may find me.

I'll be so happy
to see you again.

It will have been so long.

Dad?

Mom

daddy?

Hello, baby.

I'm here for you.

-I'm so happy that you came.
-Dad!

Daddy loves you
so much, Carol.

I'm so proud of you.

If you have come,
and you have found me,
then you are here.

-You're finally here...
-Daddy, it's me.

...in this room,

-of your own free will.
-Please, daddy.

Oh, Carol,
that means that you, and I,
can be together again.

Together.

You probably want
to get out of there so badly.

Yeah, so come to la.

No, it's not porn.
It's webcam.

It's honestly exactly like
facetime.

You probably already
do the same shit
with your boyfriends.

Except now, you can get paid
while you do it. Large.

last week one of the girls
made eight grand.

How's it sound to you?

Good? Oh, that's amazing!

That's amazing!
I'm super excited about that.

okay, so we'll get everything
squared away immediately.

Hi, is this Allison?

Yeah, you responded
to my ad online.

Yeah, the webcam stuff.

No, no, no, no,
it's nothing like porno.

It's nothing
like porno at all.

It's on your webcam.
It's pretty much facetime.

I mean, you probably
already do the same thing
with your boyfriends.

Yeah. It includes
a free ticket to the heart
of Hollywood.

You'll be set up, staying in
a beautiful apartment.

What do you tell your parents?

I don't know.
Fuck your parents.

Stirring our cauldron
of magic are we!

A witch's power
is strongest in threes.

Like, what the fuck are
these bitches cooking, man?

They're not cooking.

That's a cauldron.
They're actually
casting spells.

I just had a fucking asshole.

What happened?

He was writing
all this shit that
he wanted to do to me.

- -and then when
he signed off...

Ur a pig u fucking whore

...he called me a whore!

Aw, serenes. I'm so sorry.

Man, what a fucking
fuckhole, man.

You got his credit card
number, right?

- So, fuck this asshole,
let's go shopping.

I can e-mail you
a ticket right away, Allison.

Your boyfriend? Ah, fuck him.

No, you'll be treated
like a queen here.
I promise.

Okay. Bye now.

The fuck is this?

Nobody's working?

Nobody's calling.

It's Halloween.
Everyone's out partying.

Except us.

Aw. That's sad.

Trick or treat, skank.

Did you scrape
that shit out yet?

I want to eat my hot pockets.

Can I have
one of your hot pockets?

I gave you your dinner.

Fuck your three for a dollar
discount shit.

What's wrong
with name brand candy,

you ever heard of Hersheys?

Yeah, I heard of hershey.

Hersheys is what
my grandmother used
to say, is for ladies.

I added this part.
Discount stuff is for whores.

Whores!

What is wrong with this girl?

Some cam asshole called her
a whore and then signed off.

They're supposed
to type dirty shit.

That's why they give us
their money.

Okay, well nobody's giving us
their money tonight.

Yeah, so why don't
you give us the night off

so we can cheer Serena up
and celebrate Halloween?

Okay.

Oh no, wait. Wait.

I meant to say, fuck no.

Don't be a dick, Ian.

No, fuck you, Holly.
I'm sick of your shit.

I'm sick of
all of your shits, okay?

I just got off the phone
with two...

Two. Count 'em.
Two cam girls.

Oh, yeah. They want
to come to Hollywood,
and work for me.

So, a.B.C.

Ian's rules

1) Abc - always be caming

always be camming, bitches.

'Cause the next
generation's coming,

and they're going
to replace you.

Just like you replaced
the whores before you.

Stop saying "whores"!

No! I'll say "whores"
if I want to say "whores"!

I'll say "whores" if I want.

Now you got me irritated.

And since it's such
a slow night,

why don't I put
one of you sluts to work?

Hmm, how does that sound?

So who's it going to be?

One of you girls is going
to show me your pussy.

No.

We're not girls, Ian.
We're women.

I was a girl
when I got here,

but after working for you
for eight fucking months,

now I'm sad to say,
I'm a woman.

I'm the oldest
18-year old woman I know.

All because I made
a big mistake in coming here.

But you know what?

The more I think about it,
the more I realize

I'm not the only one that
made the mistake, Ian.

You made a big mistake.

Wanna know why?

Because you put three women
in a room together.

Hi. Is Ian here?

He flew me out
from Maine to work.

Uh, I'm Nancy.

Uh. Hello, Nancy. Welcome.

Uh, you're joining us during
a period of transition
for the company.

As of today, we're actually
under new management.

Oh. Well, what happened
to Ian?

Unfortunately, Ian is
no longer with the company,
due to, uh, cutbacks.

All right. Hope they enjoy.

-Yup, thank you.

Merry Christmas. Goodnight.

-Hi.
-Oh, I'm sorry, we're closed.

Oh, no, no, no, I called.
About the uvu.

That guy got the last one.

What? No. I called.

I'm Pete gunderson.
I said I was coming.

-But you...
-Sorry, pal.
Holidays are hell.

Fuck.

Yeah, honey.
Got the last one.

-Okay, I'll be home in 15.
-Excuse me.

-I love you. Bye.
-Excuse me, sir? Hi.

Um, look, I'll, I'll...

I'll give you $300 for it.

Yeah, not a chance, pal.
Try ebay.

I'll, I'll, I'll give you,
I'll give you 500.

Please, it's Christmas Eve.
I'm out of time.

Yeah well, listen, if it was
really that important,

you would have
gotten here earlier.

Merry Christmas.

Fuck! Oh, fuck!

Sara
did you get it???

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god, um...

I'll call...

Sara
please tell me you got it???

Sorry.

I finally had it,
and I told ed
he was full of shit.

I mean, I deserve
that Christmas bonus
a hell of a lot more

than that do-nothing,
kiss-ass nephew of his.

I swear I could kill him.
Scrooge.

What?

Have you not been
listening to me?

Ed didn't give me
the Christmas bonus that
we were counting on.

And with you making
less money now...

God. I'm at the end
of my rope.

How much was
this thing anyway?

I hope you didn't overspend.

Stop.

- Come on.

No.

I still can't believe
you got it, dad!

So, you, uh,
you just watch stuff on them?

Yeah, it aggregates
your online identity

to figure out
what to show you.

Congratulations, captain!

You're the first person
to walk on Mars.

You've got to try it, dad.

No, it's different
for everyone.

- Thank you, daddy.

Thank you, daddy.

It's totally cool, right?

Right. Yeah. Totally.

Wow.

Um, is this the off button?

Please don't punish me, daddy.

I promise
i won't be naughty anymore.

Oh, god. Oh, my god.

Um, I'll call. I'll call.
I'll call.

Sorry.

What the fuck?

Heart attack, huh?

Yeah. Probably
would have made it too,
if he got help in time.

Hell of a Christmas gift
for his family.

Fucking Christmas.

I hear ya, bro.

--Okay. Bag him up.

We need the fridge space.

Hi! Um,
it says on your website
that um, uh...

Less than one percent of users
may experience an, uh,

adverse reaction
when using the device?

And I was just,
just wondering,

what type of adverse
reactions are users
experiencing exactly?

Are you having trouble
with your device, sir?

Uh, troub... no...

No. I'm not, no...
Just wondering.

I can check your video feed
to see if there's anything
abnormal going on.

Uh, you can do that?

That's, no, that's fine.
I don't need that.
That's not necessary.

Thank you, very much.

Sara?

Where's Bobby?

I sent him
to stay with a friend.

You forgot to log out, Pete.

I don't know what
that showed you, but...

Everything.

I saw everything.

I just want to know one thing.

Why'd you do it?

Because he had
what I wanted,

and I was tired
of being nice.

Oh, Pete.

That is the hottest thing
you have ever said.

Hey! Everyone's gone.
I'm going to go ahead
and lock up.

And I made this,
just the way you like it.

Oh, ed.
You don't look so good.

I hope you aren't afraid
of the dark, ed.

Should've given me
that bonus, ed.

Mmm.

This is what happens
to scrooges like you.

Ain't the holidays hell?

Uvu
uvu shows you you!

Pete, you awake?

Remember
he is watching

sweet memories

choo-choo
chose me!

I didn't want to
have to do this.

You know,
i kept pushing it off.

Trick
or treat

I didn't want
to ruin another holiday.

I wanted to pretend like
everything was okay.

Merry merry!

But you...

You.

I mean I thought
that when you...

When you got to know me...

You know, when you saw
the real me, that you'd...

Ah, never mind.

Tonight at midnight,

I want to kiss someone
who makes me feel

like I can take
the tape off their lips.

God damn it.

Sorry about that.
Let me try that again.

Jesus Christ.

Mandy. Mandy.

Hey.

Reggief

can't be worse
than the last one.

How is it?

They're great.
They're the best
chicken fingers.

They,
they bread them with
frosted flakes.

My mom didn't let me
eat sugary cereal.

You know, rots your teeth.

My teeth aren't rotten.

You, you must brush a lot.

-Do you brush a lot?
-I don't know. I guess so.

Let me see 'em.

What?

Let me see
those pearly whites.

I bet they sparkle.

- Let me see
those choppers, come on.

Yeah. I knew it.

You have great teeth.

That was... that was...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

That was, um,
it's just the nerves.

That's the problem
with these first dates,
you know.

If people got to know
the real me,

you know, they would love me.

But, you know,
they never get
to meet me.

You know, because it's just...

Because the, the nerve monster
just rears its ugly head.

Most guys I date online
just want to hook up.

One and done.

They act like I'm crazy
for wanting something
more lasting.

Right?

You know
people say that those dating
websites are bullshit

but I mean, 96 percent?

I mean,
like, that's an all-time
high for me.

I mean my last girlfriend
was like an 84 percent
and, you know,

yeah, no surprise that didn't,
that didn't turn out.

Mmm. What happened?

She, um... I had to...

I had to end it.

Tsk. It was for the best.

Mmm.

Sorry.

You are so much hotter
than she was.

I mean, uh... uh...

Prettier.

Should we get the check?

I'm sorry.

-For what?
-For calling you hot.

Why would you
apologize for that?

Because it made me
sound all pervy.

Like I was trying
to hook up with you.

You know.

And I know you don't
like that on a first date.

It's new year's Eve.

I'd have to be the most
unromantic gal in the world

to want to go home
to a lonely apartment.

Yup.

Do you want to go
back to my place
and watch the ball drop?

-Can I take your jacket?
-Yeah.

Uh, whoa. Whoa!

Should I not?

Uh, no. It's just. Uh...
I need to use the restroom.

You know, I just...
I want to freshen up.

Okay. Great idea.
Down the hall to the right.

Ryan - Kyle

Peter - John - Reggie

uh! No, no, no, no, no.
