A Friend's Obsession (2018) - full transcript

JACK: Sink a little deeper.

And warrior one.

Fantastic.

Excellent, Megan. Just a...

[CAMERA CLICKS]

...don't forget to breathe.

If I forgot to breathe,
I'll have

more problems than my form.

Yes, and your form is perfect.

So, let's just add
a little oxygen.

Sink a little deeper.



Warrior two.

Nice work, Sally.
Just keep it loose.

Look out over your middle finger
of your front hand.

Fantastic.

You're adjusting
my "perfect form?"

Oh, no,
I'm just holding your hand

while admiring
your perfect form.

Get comfortable.

Warrior three.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Great.

Still perfect.

Well, perfect for someone

who's not breathing correctly.



And if I do pass out?

Well, then I'll have
to revive you...

...and your perfect form.

[GASPS]
Naughty.

You know it.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

JACK: Bring your hands
to the heart center.

Great job, everyone. Namaste.

ALL: Namaste.

Hey, Megan, which blue should we
use on the presentation board?

She says royal blue. I think
it's more of a periwinkle.

Periwinkle doesn't scream

"Buy this latest piece
of technology."

More than royal blue does?

Okay, look, guys,
why don't you mock-up both

do an informal office poll

and let the best color win.
Okay?

Cool. Told you.

Hey!
Hey!

Oh, my God!
What?

Something.
Wait. Don't tell me.

Okay, either kiss me
or get the food from my teeth

but this, uh, personal
space thing is creepy.

Jack proposed.
Seriously?

How do you know
every single thing about me

before it comes out of my mouth?

BROOKE: I'm your best friend.
That's my job.

Where's my big surprise moment?

Everyone deserves
a big surprise moment.

Show me!
Okay.

MEGAN: My left hand
already feels heavier.

Oh, right! Wow!

How does a yogi afford
that kind of real estate?

Yeah, it was his mom's.

It's Bril.

Seriously though,
if you make it to the altar

before me, I will punch you.

I just made "Save the Day"
magnets.

I'm not in a hurry. I'm going
to enjoy a long engagement.

Good. 'Cause I'm
commandeering next March.

Anything after that
is all yours.

The entire month?
It's me.

Not only am I high maintenance,
I'm also seriously challenged

at decision making,
and I can't do it without you.

Fine, diva, I'm yours.

[CLICKS TONGUE] Unless I elope
to Tahiti for all of March.

Ha-ha-ha. Yeah,
it's all fun and games

until you have to audition DJs

and you become some
crazy needy baby.

Okay, fine,
we have almost a year

to deal with rotten DJs.

And now, I gotta do
some type of work thing

or it's county courthouse
nuptials for me.

Fine. More later.
Okay.

Hey, Megan?
Mm-hm.

[LAUGHS]
We're getting married!

Okay, back to work. Work...
Okay, fine, fine.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

I love you.
What?

I said I love you, Megan Libby,
soon to be Megan Porter.

[LAUGHS]
You're being ridiculous.

I'm in love
with the most amazing woman

on the face of the earth,
right there.

There she is.
She's all mine.

MEGAN: Okay, stop.
I love you, too!

Bye.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Can I help you?

Did you hear?

Hear what?

Her fiance died.
What?

Yeah. Just over the weekend.

Wait... Wait, you're kidding me.

Nope. Crazy.
Wha...

Uh, but what happened?
Car accident?

No, man. Crazy.
He was murdered.

Oh, my God!

How? I mean, where?

Well, details keep changing.

But some are saying... bad
drug deal.

What?
Yeah.

Others are saying,
just a robbery gone bad.

He was stabbed, like, a lot.

LLOYD: Oh, my God!

Megan...
I mean, how is she?

She called out for the week.

Which really hoses us
for the Lander pitch

but... I mean, you know...

No, I don't know. I have
no earthly idea, actually.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

[MEGAN SOBBING]

You know, I'm gonna be
lost without you.

You'll be fine.

Don't go.

[SIGHS]

I just...
I can't stay here.

BROOKE: I know.

God, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too.

Oh...
Why're you moving so far away?

But, hey...

...at least you'll be closer
to my wedding.

God, I'm such a jerk.
I'm sorry...

No, it's okay.
I am so, so happy for you.

It's just...
It's still raw.

Yeah, I know.

Uh, hey.

Call me.

All the time.

I will.

[SNIFFLES]

Okay.
Okay.

[CLEARS THROAT]

BROOKE: Hey, Lloyd.

LLOYD: Uh, hi, Brooke.

Uh, Megan.

This is for you.

That's so sweet of you.

Just wanted to let you know
that, uh

we'll all miss you around here.

Thank you.

Uh, can I ask you
a crazy question?

Okay.

What are you doing right now?

[SIGHS]
I'm going home to finish packing.

Probably getting something
to eat.

I leave first thing
in the morning.

Would you...
I mean, can I buy you a drink?

Uh, it doesn't mean anything.
I just, uh...

I know how hard
the last couple of months

have probably been for you

and I wanted
to let you know that

you'll always have
friends back here.

I don't know, it...

Yeah. No, I, I get it.
I just, uh...

I thought...

Oh, hell, I don't know.

Um, I thought it might be nice

to out with a toast and a grin,
instead of a...

MEGAN: You know what?

Yeah.

I think a, a friendly toast

from a friendly face
would be just the thing.

[CHUCKLES]
Okay.

Um, just give me two seconds.
Sure.

MEGAN: And then I moved here.

Oh, my God!
I'm so sorry.

I've been talking
about myself the whole time.

No! No, it's nice.
It's nice to see you smile.

You've just been so sad.

Great, Lloyd,
perfect upbeat tone.

God, punch me.

MEGAN: No, no, it's fine.
Really.

It's just...

Uh, no one ever prepares you,
you know?

I mean, we were gonna
get married.

I loved him.

It's just...

Grief is so...

Confusing.

Exactly.

When my dad died...

...I didn't know
how to behave.

One minute, I was angry

the next minute,
I was inconsolable.

There's no guidebook,
there's no protocol, no...

Warning.
Yeah.

Look, grief's hard.

And you're still
so close to it, but...

...and I speak from experience

it does get easier.

And time really does heal.
You just...

You gotta be patient.

You're really easy to talk to.

Thank you.

So are you.

Thank you.
Excuse me.

Can I take your picture?

Uh... sure. Yeah.

Cool.

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

MALE 1: If you want these,
they'll be ready in few minutes.

Thank you. Okay.
Cool.

Ugh, I never buy those things.

They're way too...
Overpriced?

Right?
Exactly. Yes.

Still, I think this time
I might make an exception.

Thank you.

For what?

I've had a really good time
tonight.

How come we've never
hung out before?

[CHUCKLES]

Uh, introverts aren't
generally prone

to huge bouts of "hanging out."

Well, you're doing really well
with this small bout.

[CHUCKLES]

How come you don't
have a girlfriend?

Psst...

I don't think
that's gonna happen.

And why not?

I have no game.

Oh, gross. No, I...

Let me give you
an insider tip, okay?

Game may win you a date

but never a mate.

Really?
Yup.

Deep intel I'm giving you here.

Oh, no...
Wha-what is this look?

I'm assessing... objectively.

You want it?

I guess so. Uh, not like
I'm killin' it on my own here.

Okay, so,
here's the thing, Lloyd.

You're cute.
You're marketable.

But you don't own it.

Yeah, see? You're...

Y-you're a techie. I know it.
You live it. Inside and out.

And it's actually a thing.

A "thing?"
Yeah, completely.

Intellectual hipster.

You just need a nudge

in the hipster direction.

You think I'm a Wikipedia nerd.

But you-you can totally
rock it. And...

I mean, come here.
May I?

It's okay.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

There. You're halfway
to hipster already.

Uh, great.

Now, if you can just, uh,
be my dresser

and personal stylist
for the rest of...

...forever?

Thank you. No, no.

Chivalry is not dead

at least for us half-hipsters.

No, it's not.

I should probably
stop wearing this, huh?

Hey, hey. It's okay.

Like I said,
grief has its own timetable.

It also has landmines
that unexpectedly

explode when you're just
walkin' around.

Ugh.
Now and then.

I know, right?

MALE 1: Would you be interested
in purchasing a print?

Uh, no, that's okay...
Oh, we'll take two.

A send-off memento.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Alright.

Mama's gonna love this.

[MEGAN CHUCKLING]

LLOYD: Love it.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

BESSIE: Good mornin', baby boy.

How are you today?

Lloyd. Honey.

Breakfast.

Mama...

Honey, come on.

Oh, well, who's the pretty girl?

My girlfriend.
Oh...

[BOTH LAUGHING]

You...

Ooh, exciting!
Look at her.

I hope she's like you.

She's a lucky girl, isn't she?

Oh, I'm so glad, honey.
I'm so happy for you.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SIGHS]

Hey. Come on, sis.

Time to hit the town.

Kate.

No, I get to decide
what we're doing tonight

and it's not staying home
to watch

the "Great British Bake-Off."

Fine. But only if you come
for a run with me first.

Ah, I hate running,
but if that's what

it takes
to get you come out, fine.

You're a tyrant.
Yeah, I am. But you love me.

I do. Oh, we're doing this?
Come on.

Yeah. We're doing it
right now, come on.

Fine.
Running. Yay!

[KATE AND MEGAN PANTING]

KATE: You said we could
stop at three miles.

You are a horrible,
horrible person.

[LAUGHING]

Come on, you're
killing your old record.

My old record was

jogging with difficulty
to catch the bus...

...a patient...

...or the fridge
during a commercial break.

Refer back
to horrible person, please.

[IMITATING BABY CRY]

LLOYD: Megan?

Lloyd?

[LAUGHS]

What are you doing here?

I just moved here.

MEGAN: Uh, that's amazing!
Ha-ha.

What a small world.
Right? Yeah.

A job opportunity came up,
and, I thought

w-why not?

Time for a change of scenery.
So, here I am.

[LAUGHS]

Uh, this is crazy. I...

So, I... You look great.

Oh, thank you. Uh, I got some
fashion advice from a friend.

Um, hello, standing right here...

Oh, sorry.
Lloyd, this is my sister, Kate.

Kate, this is my ex-colleague?

Yeah... No, that sounds weird.

Uh, this is my friend, Lloyd.

Well, Lloyd, Megan's friend

want to personally thank you
for saving me

from a pending cardiac arrest.

No problem.

I personally only run
when I am being chased.

See? Thank you.
A normal human.

Thank you, Lloyd.

You got it.
Couch potatoes unite.

Uh, so, uh,
where are you working now?

Uh, mostly over
at, uh, Bosch Associated.

Nice.

Uh, they're doing really well

since their expansion
into wearables.

I know, right?
And blah, blah, blah.

Techie, tech, tech... Nerds.

Okay. You're gonna have to
forgive my sister.

She gets a little cranky
when she sweats.

She also still owns a VCR.

Shut up. I'm retro.

And I'm also
about to eat my own foot.

Megs, please.
Okay.

We're gonna find a way
to get her home and fed

but we should...

We should get together sometime.

Really? That...
Yeah, that would be great.

Uh, I haven't really met
anybody out here, yet.

Yeah. Um...
Here. Plug in your number.

When I get the chance,
I'll show you around.

I would love that.
Okay.

Uh, yeah, I'll let you two
get back to workin' out.

Uh, very nice to meet you,
Kate, my fellow couch potato.

I'll see you around, Megan.

See you around.

Let's go.
No, I'm still walking.

MEGAN: Come on.

Come on.
Go, go. You can do this.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

WOMAN: [ON TV] I guess so.
Anyway, his size...

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Yes, sir, got a good look.

MAN: [ON TV] You can know
him if you saw him again.

LLOYD: [ON PHONE]
Mama, it's soon.

I can feel it.

BESSIE: Really?

I can't wait for you
to meet her.

[CHUCKLES]
Mm.

Well, she's no longer
wearing her old ring.

Oh! You think
she's finally ready?

Yes, mama.

[SIGHS]
It's time.

To accept your true love.

Yes.

I told you.

LLOYD: You did.

You were right, mama.

She is everything.

♪ With your pretty hair ♪

♪ Got me looking over there at you ♪

♪ 'Cause I can't get enough of you... ♪

KATE: There're a lot
of cute guys here.

You need to trust me. Okay?
Okay.

Okay. We're... Oh, hey.

Him.

No. Shifty eyes.
What? Wh...

It's a thing.
Aah!

Okay.

Him?

Uh, no.

Too many curls.

You are unbelievable.

You are... Wow. Okay.

Him. Whoa.
Wow.

I will be back.
Be back from where?

Stay right there.
Uh, no. No, Kate.

Hi.
Hi.

How are you?
Great.

If you're not hiding
any crazy psychological issues

can, uh, my sister
buy you a drink?

Uh, I'm not.
And she definitely can.

Good answer.
Yeah. Okay.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Hi.
Hi, hi.

[LAUGHING]

So what are you drinking?
It's on me.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Got a minute?

It's a big day.
I might even have three.

Perfect.

You know we have the
McFeely meeting coming up.

I want you to take the lead.

Seriously?

[CHUCKLES]
I mean, thank you. Yes.

It'll mean long hours.
I can do those.

Excellent.

I gotta say, you are
a creative rockstar.

[CHUCKLES]

Can't tell you how lucky I am
you transferred in here.

Oh, sure you could.

But that would
cut into my three minutes.

You know what...

...why don't you take a rest
of the afternoon off?

It's gonna be nose to grindstone
for the next two weeks.

I think you don't have
to tell me twice.

See you tomorrow, then.

First thing.

Absolutely.

[GIGGLES]

[CELLPHONE BEEPING]

Hey, what's up?

[SIGHS]
Mr. Goldstein's blood pressure.

If you weren't so mean,
you would be pretty.

The way you talk.

Keep wheeling, charmer.
Ahh.

Wait, why are you calling me?
You never call me from prison.

I got the afternoon off.

For good behavior?
Yeah, something like that.

Any chance you can
play hooky with me today?

Oh, I wish.

I'm assisting on
an 88-year-old's

gallstone operation later.

You're so jealous of me
right now.

So jealous.

Who's jealous?

Oh, all my suitors,
Mr. Goldstein.

I told them you had
won my head and heart.

Okay, are we actually moving,
or we're just

rocking back and forth?

GOLDSTEIN: [ON PHONE]
I'm telling you

the second you shut that
yapper, you're a stunner.

Oh, you love me.

Nah...

How come you didn't call Chris?

Uh, he's at a work convention.

Oh.

Okay. Well, have fun
painting the town.

Think of me. Elbows deep
in gallbladder junk.

[CHUCKLES]

What are you laughing at?

You.
Ugh.

[BEEPS]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[CELLPHONE BUZZING]

Hey, Lloyd. It's Megan.
Hello.

Look, I'm getting off early today.

Do you, maybe, wanna,
I don't know

check out the park,
or get some Chinese?

LLOYD: [ON PHONE]
Definitely.

I'll meet you at the ducks.

MEGAN: So, I hear they have the
best chicken lo mein in town.

I've been dying to try it
but no one would go with me.

Kate's always working, so...
I'll go with you.

I know, I know exactly
what you're talking about.

Yes, I mean...

It's just around the corner.
Oh, it's right over there.

[CHUCKLES]

I love Chinese.

I am so happy
you like Chinese food.

To my perfect hooky buddy.
Cheers.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh! I really needed this.
Ooh! Wow.

Work has sucked so bad lately.

Aah! I'm so glad
I could be of assistance.

Do you miss the old job?

Sometimes.

There was
a lot more freedom there

but not as much room
for advancement.

Yeah.

Here, all advance

but my boss is kind of a jerk.

You should just kill him.

I should just kill him.

[LAUGHING]

Tell you, this is definitely
the most fun

I've had since I've been here.

Oh, this is definitely
the most fun

I've had since you've been here.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, my God.
I think I'm drunk.

Thank God,
I live only two blocks away.

Where do you live?

Two blocks away.
Thank you.

What, seriously?
No.

Three blocks away.
Oh.

Thank you.
A-da-da.

Chivalry is not dead.
Megan.

Come on, it's my pleasure.

It is nice to have someone
to hang out with today.

Alright.
Ahem.

Eh, don't.

Why? What...

Fortunes only come true if you
have someone hand it to you.

Yeah, okay.

What?

You're superstitious.

And what is that, weird?

No, it's adorable, actually.

Oh.

Oh. One second.

Hi, baby.

Uh, yeah. I'm actually out
with my friend Lloyd.

Can I give you a call
back in about ten minutes?

Okay. Welcome home.

Bye.

Another friend?
Boyfriend, actually.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I, I thought you were
still grieving.

I am, but it's...

I don't know, it's been a year
and I'm ready to date again.

And Chris is pretty fantastic.

That's great.
Yeah.

I think you're gonna love him.

You know what? We should all
hang out sometime.

That would be great.

Can't wait.

I brought you Chinese. And don't
say I never think about you.

Leftover or my own?

I was thinking about you
when I asked them

to pack up my leftovers.

Did Chris have fun
at his lawyer thing?

Convention?
Yeah.

I don't know.
I have to call him.

Who'd you ended up
going out with?

Lloyd.

My colleague from my old job,
remember?

You just met him on the street.
Couch potato crew.

Oh. Right. Oh. Hm.

And he seems kinda lonely.

Hm.
Yeah.

And he was talking about

how he hasn't met
a lot of people.

Hm.
And I, uh...

And I notice
how you haven't exactly

been very social, so...

Seriously, Megs?
Like, I have time to date?

I'll have you know,
I was proposed to twice today.

Really should have gone into
ortho instead of geriatrics.

I'm just saying, maybe you guys
could hang out sometime.

He doesn't know
anyone else in town.

Meg...

I'll do your laundry for a week.

Oh, you know how I feel
about laundry. Yeah.

Fine, make it a month
and we have a deal.

Okay, fine.
Yes! Oh!

[MEGAN LAUGHING]

And that is when
she flipped over her kayak.

I... And I knew
the second I was trapped

that this was not going
to end well.

Look, I'm not the best swimmer

but let's just say
that I got there first.

He saved my life.
Yeah.

In four feet of water.
No.

I think my pool is deeper.

I don't know.
It seemed about six feet to me.

That is the cutest story I never
wanna hear again, you guys.

Oh, come on, Kate.

Well, what about,
uh, what about you?

I thought it was a fine story.
Little long, but...

Ah!

[LAUGHING]

What?
No.

I meant, how are you adjusting.

TCH. Fine.

Oh, Lloyd is just being
very modest.

He already has a job, a place

and a knowledge of at least
two top dinning spots.

Mm, wait, Lloyd,
you mean to tell me

that you didn't just move in
with your sister

for three months and then never
move out? People do that?

You shut up.
You love me living with you.

I love you paying half my rent.

Uh, no, two-thirds your rent.

Well, you have a better job.
It makes more sense.

Okay, so, Lloyd, um

Megan tells me that,
uh, that you're a tech guy.

I'm a programmer.

Oh, so can you fix computers?

Not the hard drive
but if you have software issues

I'm fairly handy.

Then, I may be calling
upon your talents

because my computer
just hates me.

No, it doesn't hate you.

It's just tragically
out of date.

Apparently, Chris was the only
one in law school

who refused to use a laptop.

Oh, well, I think I did okay
with my pen and my notebook.

Oh, you mean you didn't have
your quill and ink handy?

Oh, you loved my little quill,
little...

...little feathered quill...

Ew! Okay, you guys,
save it for the wedding.

Whose wedding?

Oh, Brooke,
she's getting married

at a winery up the coast.

Right. Yes. Brooke.

Yeah, and it couldn't come
at a better time too.

Pete just found a way
to double my workload.

He's such a jerk.
Yeah, Captain of the jerks.

He really is, totally
monopolized your time

since you started working there.

I barely saw her this week.

Yeah, and you're not going to.

We're heading into a new
project, and I'm on point.

I'm about to drop off the grid.

So, this, you guys

you are my last taste
of joy and freedom.

Thank you.

Cheers. I'm so proud of you.

That's...
Thank you.

Congrats, baby.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON TV]

Oh!

Hello.
Hey, mama.

Hi, baby. I miss you.

[CHUCKLES]
I miss you more.

How's the job search?

Yeah, it's going okay.

And your girlfriend?
Good. Really good.

We had a fancy dinner tonight.
Oh.

Well, take your time, baby.
Women like romance.

Don't tell her you love her.

Show her you love her.

Remember, baby, love is an...

An action.

Yes, mama.

I know.

FEMALE 1: Megan's desk is straight
down the hallway to the right.

LLOYD: Great. Thank you.

Hey, stranger.
Lloyd?

You forgot.
Oh, shoot. No.

Uh, yes. I mean, yeah, I did.

It's just been
really crazy here today.

No worries.
It was just lunch.

The poppers at Gino's
are all-you-can-eat though.

I'm an idiot.
I'm so sorry, I can't.

I promise
I'll make it up to you.

My boss is being such a tool.

I've had to redo
this spreadsheet three times

and the presentation
is next week.

Hm. Really, don't, don't worry.
We'll rain check.

Okay.
Hey, Megan.

Ah.

Didn't realize
you had time for friends.

Thought you'd be...

I am. I'm on it.

Good.
I'll leave you to it then.

I'm headed to lunch. I expect
your revisions when I get back.

[MEGAN SCOFFS]

[SIGHS]

Uh... Okay, then.

Call me when you're free.
Yeah, I will.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[MEGAN LAUGHING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Oh. Oh, look.

I'm all sweaty.
You'll know when you kiss me.

MEGAN: God, I needed this.

I want this moment
to last forever.

I do not wanna go back to work.

No. No, no, no.
No work talk.

You promised me.

Two more days.

Just two more days. That's
literally all I can think about.

Really?

'Cause I'm thinking
it's seven more days.

Why?

It's our weekend.
Yes.

Seven more days.

God, I love you.

Oh, my God.
Is that weird? Did I...

Did I just make that weird?

I... It just flew out

and I wasn't thinking but...

[LAUGHING]

I don't wanna take it back or...

I love you, too.

[CHUCKLES]

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

I like you.

[CHUCKLES]

Ultimately, we believe
our product will not only

increase consumer sales,
it will give you an entry

into the industrial market
as well.

The market that has previously
been unattainable

because of the foreign
underpricing

which you will now undercut.

It's the right move
at the right time.

FEMALE 2: That was such
a great presentation.

It's perfect. It's exactly
what we've been talking about.

PETE: Oh, my God!

That was amazing.
You were amazing.

Thank you. I, I feel great.

You know what this means.
A promotion?

Too soon.

It means a long, long
relationship with this company.

This is phenomenal!

Celebration cocktail?

Uh, no. Actually,
I, I have to get home.

You know, we really should
have drinks sometime.

We can discuss
your advancement potential.

Sure thing.

You know, we could also
do that at the office.

Anytime over lunch.
At the office.

Need a lift?
Uh, no, thank you.

I have my car.

Megan?
Yeah.

Really great job.

As soon as I get back
from Seattle, let's talk.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[GROANING]

[HONKING]

It's just a virus.
No big deal.

Should be pretty easy to wipe.

Seriously?

How lucky am I that Megan's
new friend is techie?

So lucky.

So, I hyper-sensitized the drive

in case something
like this happens again.

There's an alert
that'll show up.

You'll be able to stop it
from doing any more damage.

You're a good man.

I know.

[EXHALES]
Thank you.

No problem. That's what I do.

Well, it's impressive.

[MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO]

Kate, how many black t-shirts

do you actually need
for one weekend?

Seven.

Other than your hideous
bridesmaid's dress.

Hideous.

Unflattering to every
shape and size.

Were you aware of how much

Brooke really hates you?

You really only need pajamas.

Then again, you might not
even need those. Wink.

Okay, two t-shirts,
need those shorts.

Wedding stuff and pajamas.

I'm a nurse. I know.

Trust me, Chris probably hasn't
even started packing yet.

This is mine.

Please.
Fine.

Thank you.
Didn't even ask.

I don't have to.

[KEYS CLACKING]

I wish I had your, um...

...comfortability
with technology.

Well, uh, it's just a matter
of jumping in.

Not letting fear stop you
from getting what you want.

Right.

Yeah, I don't seem
to have that problem

with any other aspect
of my life, uh, just computers.

You want me to climb
the mountain or charm a client

I'm your guy,
but, uh, technology, man.

[SCOFFS]

Well, not everything can just be
so easily handed to everyone.

Well, I-I wasn't saying, uh...

That's not,
that's not what I meant.

Um, you know what,
I wasn't saying any...

That was, like, easy...
You know what?

Um... I gotta go.

Wait, what? Whoa, hey.

Wait, h-hold on a sec, did...

Did I offend you in some...
No.

You didn't. Really, it's okay.

I just... Never mind.

I have to go.
Okay...

Okay, I got some
roofing stuff to do anyway.

Um, hey, thank you.

Got it.

See ya.
Yep.

♪ She was sexy like it's nothing ♪

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Wine?
Is it six o'clock?

In Paraguay.

Thank you.
Mm-hm.

So, in today's news,
I told Chris that I loved him.

Do you?

Of course.
That's a weird question.

Well, I'm a weird person.

Oh, I'm so happy for you.

Wow, I've not been in love in forever.

You will, you will find love.

You are so smart and gorgeous.
Mm, it's a curse.

What about Lloyd?
Seriously? No.

Why not?
He is not my type.

I thought your type was,
upright bi-ped?

Yeah, it is, and other
particulars, like, humor.

A job.
Lloyd has a job.

Yeah, but no.

I think you guys would make a...

Okay, Megan, stop.

I, I'm a grown woman.

I can choose my own suitors.

"Suitors?" Seriously?

Are you going to entertain them
on a veranda with a mint julep?

You forgot my bustle
and fancy hand fan.

[CHUCKLES]

Speaking of which...

How was a fan a good segue
to laundry?

Because I'm a fan
of you doing my laundry.

Ooh, see what I did there?
No, I don't.

I'm working up to it.

You've had three days off of work.

How have you not had time to do laundry?

I was decompressing. This was
a big deal that we closed.

How is Mr. Personality?
Pete?

Mm-hm.
Ugh, I've no idea.

Uh, he's headed to Seattle to
dot the I's and cross the T's.

And when the cat's away...
The mouse...

Do her sister's damn laundry.

Ew! Gross.

It's not that...
Ew! Uh, it's gross.

That's gross. Sorry.

[RATTLING]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[THUDS]

[GRUNTS]

MEGAN: It was always my
favorite place as a kid.

KATE: Mm, me too.
All those rooms.

I used to pretend like we lived
in some remote place in England.

Like "Lion, The Witch
And The Wardrobe."

But every time
I opened up those closets

there were just itchy, old coats.

No talking lions
or evil witches.

Someday, I'm gonna buy
a Victorian like grandma did.

Fix it up. Give my kids
a place to explore and imagine.

KATE: And your spinster sister Kate.
Don't forget about me.

Okay, you can
have your own wing.

[CELLPHONE BUZZING]

Hm. I don't know this number.
No, that's the hospital.

Pick that up.

Hello?

Oh, my God!

Hi.
What happened?

I fell.

Fell. It's a... it's a funny,
funny, funny word.

Okay, what is happening?

He's on a morphine drip.

Apparently, he had an accident
with a ladder

and... the ladder won.

Oh, my God, baby.
I am so sorry.

Gosh! Is-is there anything
I could do?

Yeah. Yeah. Um...

[CHUCKLES]

You know that, you know that
movie we watched with the...

...with the chair
in the water and the Sp-splash?

Yeah.
Dancing...

Do you wanna do...
You wanna dance, Megsy?

Mm-hm.
Yeah.

Okay, on second thought,
maybe we, uh

repack those granny PJs...

...Megsy.

[SIGHS]

So pretty.
Thank you.

Wow!

MEGAN: Maybe she'll understand.

KATE: She absolutely
will not understand.

This is Brooke
we're talking about.

She wouldn't talk to you
for a month

after you missed her birthday.

And it was her 26th.

That's not
even a special birthday.

And it was at a bar.

Her wedding, no,
you're going or you're done.

Please, please, please,
come with me.

I would but I can't,
I'm covering a double

on Saturday, and this double's
covering the-the...

I just can't because I suck,
but I'll look in on Chris

for you, and I'll only borrow
half your clothes.

Ugh, I hate
going to weddings alone.

They're so depressing.

And, oh, my God,
the bouquet toss.

Are you kidding me?

I need someone there to help me

make fun of those people.

I cannot be one of those people.

I can break my leg.
I'll break my leg.

Oh, no, no. I got it.

What, you can go?
No.

But you can take
your new bestie.

Lloyd?
Yeah. Why not?

I mean, it's obvious
that guy's so lonely.

I mean, weekend getaway?
Come on.

Your bait is here.
That doesn't seem weird?

Asking him to a wedding.
A weekend getaway.

No, I think
it'll work out perfectly.

I mean, you like being
with him, and...

Maybe he'll hook up with someone
at the wedding, you know.

Weddings are filled
with desperate people.

I mean, maybe he'll get lucky
and then you can leave me alone

with my geriatric patients
and cat-filled future.

Which is actually
a lot more fun than it sounds.

MEGAN: Kate, where are you?

Captain Slavedriver
is still AWOL

so I don't know if I even need
to go in to work today.

Call me back.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

Hey, you.
Hey.

Hope I'm not interrupting anything.

No, I'm actually just about

to go visit Chris
at the hospital.

Why? What happened?

He fell off his ladder yesterday
and broke his arm and his leg.

Oh, I am so sorry.
That's horrible, I...

Is there anything I can do?

Actually, come to think of it...

How do you feel about weddings?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Hi, baby.
Hi, mama.

BESSIE: [ON PHONE]
How's it going with Megan?

It's finally happening.

We're going away together
this weekend.

This is it. I just know it.
Grand gestures, baby.

Something she'll never forget.

LLOYD: [ON PHONE] Okay, mama.
I think I have a plan.

Okay, I will look in
on Chris every day

but I cannot promise
I won't post

his goofy morphine babble
to all social media everywhere.

Thank you. If for looking in,
not for the exploitation.

Oh, um, but if he's doing
funny accents, definitely post.

Yeah.
Thanks.

Are you sure it's okay
that I'm doing this?

I feel like such an ass.
I feel like I should be here.

What? It's fine.
There's nothing to do here.

Except work too hard.

Watch your goofy boyfriend
battle pudding

and lose your best friend.
So, go, have fun. Relax.

Okay.

You're right.

You okay?
Yeah, sure. Fine.

Just, um... be careful. Okay?

There's a lot of crazy dancers
at the wedding

you could take an elbow
to that pretty face.

Only if it's my own.
Okay.

Bye. Call me, text me every day.

I will.
I have no life.

I know. I know that.

Hello.
Hey.

Thank you.
I'm so excited.

Seems so fun.
Me too.

Here, let me get this for you.
Oh, thank you.

That's very kind.

♪ So sooner or later ♪

I am completely tone-deaf.

Completely, but points for enthusiasm.

You, on the other hand, Mr. Murrow

have perfect pitch.

Ah. Well, I-I was in glee club.

Ah. Of course you were.

Your parents were hell-bent on securing

your virginity, weren't they?

I am so sorry. I was joking.

No, it's okay.

Uh, m-my mother put me in
computer club to make smart

friends and glee club so I could
sing to her at night.

It's actually kinda sweet.

What about your dad?

You mentioned he,
he passed away.

You remembered.
Of course.

"There's no protocol for grief."

Wise words from a wise man.

Thank you.

If I'm prying, you can,
you can tell me to shut up.

No, it's... It's okay.

My dad had an accident
when I was ten.

What kind of accident?
If you don't mind me asking.

Again, I really don't
want to pry.

It's alright, really.

You're curious. It's nice.

I found him, he fell down
a flight of stairs.

Broke his neck. It was awful.

My God! And you were ten?

That must've been terrible for you.

Just been me and mother ever since.

She's definitely been both
a mother and a father to me.

That's great.

I would love
to meet her one day.

You would?
Sure.

MEGAN: Don't you just love
the smell of the ocean?

That must mean we're close.

Oh, look, we are.
There's the hotel.

We're here. Yay!

[GASPS]

MEGAN: Hi.

Hi. Oh.
Oh.

Oh, you look amazing.
Right?

I've been on a liquid diet
for three weeks

to fit into my dress.

Is this the famous Chris?
Hi.

Uh, no, this is actually...

Wait, I know you.
You're the techie.

Lloyd Murrow.
Uh, we used to work together.

Right. Right. Hi. Yes.
Why are you here? Where's Chris?

Oh, it's a long story.
Long story.

Jinx. You owe me a coke.

[CHUCKLING]

Oh, wait, Chris broke his leg

and Lloyd has been
my knight in shining armor

so I don't have to socialize
with your family solo.

Well, then, thank you, Lloyd

for making sure
my bestie got here.

'Cause I'd have absolutely killed her

if she didn't.

That's what friends are for.

[LAUGHING]

Let's go!

I'll get...

Oh... Okay.

Oh.
Are you kidding me?

BROOKE: There's no way we're
doing this dinner sober.

You do realize my mother
is going to be there, right?

Well, bottoms up.

So... Lloyd?

No. Ratchet it back.

"Jinx. You owe me a coke."

[LAUGHS MOCKINGLY]
What is that? Super flirty.

Okay, yeah,
if you're in the fourth grade.

Even defensive.
Delusional.

So, Lloyd...
Wait, which one is Lloyd?

Nerdy techie.
Oh, he's super cute.

And super single.
Oh.

He's only a friend and he's
the only reason I got here.

In fact, if you're into
intellectual man

I would...
And look his way.

Oh, I'm all for it.

At least for tonight, anyway.

Look, yes, please. He needs
all the help he can get.

Okay, then, here is to Lloyd
getting laid.

Mm-hm.
Yes.

I except the very best
out of you ladies.

Please, do it for us.
The engaged.

The shackled. The done.

[GASPS]

Here is to being done.
Being done.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Ohh...
Mm.

Oh, we gotta go.
Come on. Downstairs.

BROOKE: I'm changing my dress.

We gotta go. Let's go.
Let's go.

BROOKE: Oh, I'm so excited.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[MEGAN AND LLOYD LAUGHING]

Ca... Can you believe
her mother-in-law?

I mean...

W-wait, so... Wait,
you don't like being asked

your age and marital status
four times over the first court?

Ugh, it was really,
really embarrassing.

Oh, thank God she moved on to...

Xander the third.

[LAUGHING]

She's marrying a third.

That is just so sad.

Right?

Well, thank God
for his deplorable past

as an English major.

He makes your
decrepit age a non-issue.

Oh, God, you're great.

Thank you.
No, I'm serious.

I don't have
a lot of friends that...

Well, I don't have any friends.

What I'm saying is

I don't have a lot of friends
that I can talk to.

You're really,
really easy to talk to.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Megan, I...

Oh, my gosh. Do you smell that?

The jasmine.

Oh.
Yeah.

It reminds me of when

we used to spend summers
at my grandma's.

Kate and I
were just talking about

how special my grandma's house was.

Really?

Tell me about it.
Okay.

It was, it was a Victorian house

with high ceilings
and slanted roofs.

Ah! It was so magical.

It was then that I knew
that, that's, that's the house

that I ultimately raise
my family in.

I have one.

What?
A Victorian.

It's not as big but it's
got the same bones.

The Victorian. Yes, slanted roof
and everything. It's great.

Shut up.

You shut up.

Mm. Well, I should
get some rest for tomorrow.

I gotta make sure I soak
my dentures for the big day.

If you want I can just marry you
so Mama Manners will stand down.

What?
Nothing.

Ugh, come on, grandma,
let's get you home

before your hip gives out.

Oh, okay.

JENNA: I met Xander when
he came to my party

and started a conga line,
and that's when I knew

Brooke was way too good
for Xander.

But seriously, anyone
who sees the way he dances

can't possibly
want to re-live that.

To Brooke and Xander...

...may their marriage last

at least twice as long
as their engagement.

And may they dance on together

with their tragic
absence of rhythm

for many days and nights.

[GLASSES CLINK]

[APPLAUDING]

[GLASS CLINKING]

I'd like to toast
the bride and groom.

Lloyd, really,
what are you doing?

But mostly

I'd just like to toast love.

Brooke and Xander have found it.

Many of us
are still looking for it.

An elusive emotion

that so many are not fortunate
to ever experience.

But today, we all get to bear
witness to love as it should be.

Pure, honest, heartfelt.

Four years ago, when I started
working at Reynard Global Tech.

I met Megan Libby.

She was, uh, a creative director

I was just a tech nerd,
but she was always so kind

and smart, and funny.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Yeah, she-she's the kind of girl

who'd talk to anybody no matter

how low you were
on the food chain.

It's important to start
relationships off as friends

and Megan and I were friends
first.

Oh, he's so romantic.

LLOYD: But recently, I've felt
more than a friendship for Megan.

This place, Brooke and Xander's love.

Uh, it's just made it
overwhelmingly clear to me

that I wanna
get to know this woman better.

To be more than friends.

So, uh, in addition to toasting
the bride and groom

on everlasting happiness

please toast Megan Libby.

With whom I intend to explore
the possibilities.

[GLASSES CLINK]

[APPLAUDING]

Excuse me.

LLOYD: Megan? Megan?

Megan, you're being ridiculous.

Yeah. Are you kidding me?

You just humiliated me
in front of my best friend.

Not to mention, hijacked
my best friend's wedding.

I was just sharing my feelings.

Again, hijacked.

This is Brooke's wedding

and you made it
about your feelings?

Ugh!

Utterly mortifying,
not to mention...

...selfish a-and awkward.

I mean, you toasted
about your feelings

that I had no idea about.

Lloyd, I don't feel that way about you.

How do you know?
Ugh. No.

I love Chris.
I don't love you, Lloyd.

Look, you've been
a great friend, but this...

Uh-uh. This is wrong
on every level.

I've never had those kind
of feelings for you. Never.

And look, I apologize if I...

...somehow misconstrued
our friendship.

But, Lloyd,
I only like you as a friend.

Maybe you, maybe you just
need time.

Maybe you have feelings for me
that you haven't accepted yet.

No. I don't.

[SCOFFS]

Uh, I changed my look for you.

What?
My hair and my clothes.

Ugh! That's insane.
I told my mother about you.

Why?
I love you.

Stop. Lloyd.

I don't know how to say this
other than very slowly

so that you hear me
and understand.

I don't have those kind
of feelings for you.

Not repressed, not undiscovered

not subconsciously... not at all.

AUTOMATED VOICE:
Your ride has arrived.

At least let me drive you home,
Megan.

I think that'd be
a really bad idea.

We both need some time apart, okay?

And I need you to hear me
and understand.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hi, baby.
Hey, mama.

How'd you know it was me?

[CHUCKLES]
It's always you, baby.

How was the wedding?
Good.

You're lying.

I don't think
she feels the same way

about me as I feel about her.

Of course she does.

You moved all the way out there
for her.

Away from your mother.

I do, I do believe
she does love me.

She just needs... time
to realize it.

God, I missed you.

I can't believe that Lloyd
turned out to be such a psycho.

I mean, it doesn't exactly help

that I'm all hovelled
up right now

but I'd like to speak
with him, real hard.

Easy, caveman, he's harmless.

Just confused.

I think delusional
is more like it.

He's harmless.

Harmless is like a kitten
in a pet store or something.

Not some love-crazed nutjob.

BESSIE: [ON PHONE]
You know what you need to do.

Grand gestures, baby.

I'm trying, mama.

No one can resist my baby.

You show her what love can be.

I will, mama.

I will.

I will.

I'm gonna call him.
Don't. Really.

I just wanna put this
behind me, okay?

Look, can you kiss me?

Or is your testosterone level
too strong?

Fine, but you're gonna
have to meet me halfway here

because I'm not exactly mobile,
and Nurse Bossy McGee

over there told me
I gotta take it easy.

Fine, fine.

Mama, mama, I'm just...

...feeling down.

Should I sing to you, baby?

Sure, mama.

♪ Baby won't you please come home? ♪

♪ 'Cause your mama's all alone ♪

♪ When you left you broke my heart ♪

♪ 'Cause you said we'll never part ♪

♪ Baby won't you please come home? ♪

You always make me feel better.

Thank you, mommy.

[SIGHS]

Did somebody just call my name?

Oh, you're a tyrant.
Heh. Here you go.

Hey, maybe you should have
a talk with Nerdy McPsycho.

Oh, my God, can we just
stop talking about him.

And can you McStop it
with the names?

"But I changed my look for you.

I told my mother about you."

You're my soulmate.

Buffering, buffering, buffering.

Stop, he's just confused.
Confused.

Yeah, well...

I am not confused.

Come here, woman. Kiss me.

McHottie.
Hmm, you know it.

You ready?
Mm-hmm.

Ready for what?

You'll see.

Ah.

MEGAN: What's happening?

[CHRIS CLEARS THROAT]

I would get down on one knee

but it'd be really awkward

if you had to pick me up.

Plus, this gets me
the sympathy vote.

This isn't happening.
Oh, it's happening.

Megan Libby, I know that
we've only known each other

for a few months, but...

Yes.

I'm not finished yet.
Yes.

Yes, I will marry you.

All day, every day,
forever and ever

you silly gimp. Ha-ha!

I love you, and I wanna spend
forever with you

so you take as much time
as you need.

[LAUGHING]

I rehearsed this speech
since the second week

we were together,
so I had to get it done.

What was wrong
with the first week?

CHRIS: Oh, shut up.

Come here.

I love you.
Love you.

[SIGHS]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Did you hear?

Ah, I've been doing contracts

since I got in this morning

and I haven't even had coffee, so, no.

Hear what?
Megan...

What is up?
Pete is dead.

They found his body
in the river.

Who dumps bodies in the river?

I mean, he was definitely sleazy

and he was a complete jerk,
but he didn't deserve that.

[SIGHS]

Do the cops know anything?

Just that he's been dead for a week.

Oh, my God.

I think I'm-I'm probably one
of the last people to see him.

He never went to Seattle.

Did that make you a suspect?
Oh. Are you kidding me?

Okay, I probably watch
way too much "CSI."

Okay.

But they do always interview
the last person

to see the deceased.

And the weird, innocuous
side character.

Oh, my God, I could be both.

I-I probably am both.

But you have an alibi.
Right and no motive.

Well, actually...
What?

With Pete gone,
what does that mean for work?

I-I don't know, he didn't
really have much to do

with the deal, so, I... I guess
it relies on me now.

Oh! Okay, okay,
this is way too dark.

Let's talk about something else.

Like the gorgeous earrings
you got me.

Oh, my God. Kate...

Well... What?

How do you know
what I'm getting for you?

I stalk your Amazon.
You serious?

I'm just being honest,
and while we're at it

sometimes I check where you are
when you're late.

It's a sister thing.
I worry about you.

You should be grateful.
Oh...

Okay.

How do you, how do you check
where I am, you stalker?

Uh, Find My Phone. We're both
registered here on the desktop.

And I know your password.

Okay, that is a complete
invasion of privacy.

You know what, you, you and I

we're gonna have
a little conversation

about boundaries very soon

but I can only handle
one insane thing at a time.

So, I'm just gonna forget that
you've been cyber-stalking me

and go back to my boss.

Past.

Past boss.

Oh, my God. Poor Pete.

Poor Pete.

LLOYD: Mama, so I've been
thinking about what you said

and I have the perfect
grand gesture plan.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]
Hold on, hold on.

Speak of the angel.

Mama, I'll call you back.
Okay?

Yeah, bye.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[YELLS]

MEGAN: Okay, sure. Well, I'm...

I'm looking now,
but I can't find anything

they sent from April.
You know what?

Why don't you double-check
and give me a call back

in a few minutes, okay?

Alright. Bye.

[SIGHS]
Hi, Lloyd.

I am so sorry.
I was an idiot.

Yes, yes, you were,
but that was impressive.

I just... I-I honestly don't know
what came over me. I...

I think being at the wedding
brought up feelings

about my dad's death.

I went crazy.

I just... I felt
completely blindsided.

I know, I'm so sorry.

What I'm most upset about
is our friendship.

I, I really miss
hanging out with you.

Me too.
Let me make it up to you.

Uh, my mother just sent me
the most amazing steaks

from back home.
Let me make you dinner.

Look, I don't think...

You know, if-if it makes you
more comfortable

I'm seeing someone.

A girl from work.
Really?

Yeah, she's amazing.
I think you'd really like her.

That's, that's great, Lloyd.
Really.

Megan, I just really wanna
apologize properly.

You're only my real friend
in the city

and I'd love to share
my happiness with you.

And spend the rest of my days
making it up to you

for a random psychotic break.

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, Lloyd.

And, of course,
invite Chris too.

Uh, I'll invite my girl, it'll be...

God, Megan, I just,
I really wanna earn back

your trust and friendship.

Well, Chris is busy tonight,
but I do love a good steak.

As much as you want.

I, on the other hand, will be
eating nothing but crow.

[CHUCKLES]
Okay, well, in that case, you're on.

Great. Uh, 7:00?
Sounds good.

Text me the address.
I'll see you then.

I'll see you tonight.

[LAUGHING]

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Come in. It's open.

Hey, Chris.

Lloyd.

Wow. Uh, I, I didn't...

I didn't expect to see you.

Um, how-how are you?
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. I just, uh...

I needed to talk to you.
Are you busy?

Uh...

Well, the good thing about
being on disability leave is

when you work from home, nobody
knows you're taking a break.

Come in.

I'd get up, but I'm, uh...

...not exactly 100 percent here.

Do you want a beer?

No, I'm good. Thanks.

I feel so stupid.

[CHUCKLES]

I get it.

Megan can have that effect
on people.

No, you don't seem to get it.

I love her.

Oh...

Listen, Lloyd...
No, no, no. No, Chris.

You listen.

She loves me too.
Lloyd...

Yeah. Megan and I
have a connection, Chris.

Okay? We have
since the day we met.

I said I felt stupid because it
took me so long to act on it.

What we have is special, unique.

Her time with you
is simply a diversion.

What we have is so powerful,
it scares her.

Lloyd...

I think you should go.

Cool bat.

You play?

Take a swing.

Ah...

I know this must be hard
to digest.

It's heartbreaking realizing
that you've been a pawn.

But it's time
for you to go, not me.

She simply needs
the obstacles removed

before she can accept her faith.

Which is she and I, together.

She knows this in her heart,
but you keep muddying things.

Lloyd...

Sometimes...

...something so true

and powerful can be scary.

What we have is just that.
It's undeniable.

I am simply clearing a path
for her to see and accept that.

And you, Chris...

...you are in my path.

Lloyd...
Aah!

She doesn't love you!

LLOYD: She doesn't love you!

She doesn't love you!

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[CROWS CAWING]

I honestly feel like
this is a turning point

in our relationship, mama.

I haven't felt this good in days.

Yeah, I think she's happy
that I'm back in her life.

Absence makes the heart
grow fonder, baby.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

LLOYD: It's open. Come on in.

[DOOR CLOSES]
Hello.

LLOYD: I'm in the kitchen.
Come on back.

[CHUCKLES]
Okay.

[SIGHS]

Wow, this place is stunning.
Stunning.

Jinx! You owe me a coke.

Too soon.

Yeah.

Hey.

I've missed you.
I've missed you, too.

I'm sorry, I was such a psycho.

Let's just blame it
on the wedding.

Weddings tend to make even
the sanest of us lose our minds.

I mean, the music alone...
Still, I feel horrible.

Mortified and horrible.
It's fine.

Really, let's just get past
the weird phase

and go straight
into the acceptance

and forgiveness phase.

Please.
Okay.

Okay, come on.

Where is your girlfriend?

I was, uh, hoping to meet her.

Oh, wow. Um...

Well, you said
Chris couldn't come

so I told her another time.

Wow, this is weird.
I'm so sorry.

Let me call her, I'm sure
she can be here in 20 minutes.

Oh, don't be silly, Lloyd.
Really?

The last thing I wanna do is
make you feel uncomfortable.

It's fine. Really.

It also smells fantastic.

Thank you.

Can I open up the wine?
Yes, please.

Fancy.
I know.

LLOYD: So I guess when I
said I had a Victorian

that was only partially true.

As in, I don't have, I rent.

It's really lovely.

Slanted roof and all.

Thank you.

So, do I get the official tour?

Of course.

This is the kitchen.

Wow, you're an excellent
tour guide. Heh-heh.

Well, my Yelp reviews
are exceptional.

Follow me.
The tour continues this way.

Okay.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

LLOYD: Yes.

Most of the furniture
belongs to my mother.

She shifted here for me.
Oh, that's sweet of her.

I'd be lost without her.

She plans to move out here
once I'm settled.

I bet the steaks
are almost ready.

Can I fill up your wine?
Yes, please.

Oh, hey, does the tour include
directions to the bathroom

because, TCH, wine.

Right down the hall,
to your right.

Okay. I'll be back.

I'll be here.

Hey, Chris, it's me, um...

I, I can't get a hold of Megan

and she said she was having
dinner with, uh, Lloyd.

Is she crazy?

I know I'm just being
a paranoid sister

and you can just tell me
that, but...

Will you just
call me back? Okay?

I don't wanna bother you,
I just keep

getting your voice mail, so...

Call me when you can.

Bye.

Thank you. Okay.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Megan.
Aah!

I wasn't ready to show this
to you, Megan.

This?

What is this?

It's an homage to you.

I worked very hard on it.
I hope you appreciate it.

Although, now you've
ruined the surprise.

Remember when I told you
that I wanted you

to meet my girlfriend?

See? It wasn't a fib.

Mm...

Hello, girlfriend.

You didn't answer me, Megan.

Ah, what-what-what?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Do you like it?

Lloyd, why are you doing this?

I got this for you.

For us.

You said you wanted a Victorian.
I got you a Victorian.

Jack didn't. Chris didn't.

I did.

Mama said grand gestures.

This is a grand gesture.

The steaks are ready.

I hope you are hungry.

Please, do me a favor.

Stop ruining my surprises, they've been

carefully and meticulously planned.

Okay, seriously, Megan.

Pick up the damn phone.
Where are you?

I can't get a hold of you
or Chris, and now

I'm officially that sister.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

KATE: [ON PHONE]
Hello, Megan...

Let the wine breath for a moment

before I pour it.

This reminds me
of our first date.

It was perfect.

Remember when you didn't
wanna buy our picture?

Aren't you glad we did?

Where's yours?

Um...

Oh, where is my what, Lloyd?

Our first picture.
We can put them together.

Oh, um...

I-it's in my house.

Right next to the photo
of, uh, Kate and I

when we were kids.

Um, hey, I-I told you...

I told you about my
grandmother's Victorian, right?

It looks just like this one.

Yes. See? I... I hear you.

Megan, I listen to you,
that's what makes us soulmates.

No phones at the dinner table.

No, no, no.

No phones at the dinner table!

I'm not gonna say it again, Megan.

Hello, Me...

Damn it!

Thank you, sweetie.

We can tell everyone
our good news later.

Ah...

Now, eat your steak
before it gets cold.

Here, I'll cut it for you.

Protein is the most important
part of any meal.

Lloyd?
Yes, honey.

Where did you get those
pictures?

LLOYD: Hmm, I took them.

I had to check on
my competition.

You-you...
Yes.

Jack had to go, baby,
he wasn't right for you.

LLOYD: A yoga teacher, really?

At least, Chris was a lawyer.

What... What was?

And Pete, he didn't appreciate you.

I will never take you for granted.

Ever.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[CHUCKLES]
Delicious, right?

Mmm...

Come on.

FEMALE 3: The police
are on their way up.

What's Dr. Lessner's password?
Um, um...

"Feelgood." As in doctor.
Okay, good. Got it.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

This had to be a meal
to remember.

Our first... in our new house.

That's very considerate of you.

Oh, I cannot wait for you
to meet mama.

I'm so glad we could get past
all the obstacles

that she said were in the way.

My father was the first obstacle

that's why I removed him.

You know, I learned early on
that you can have any thing

your heart desires if you just
remove the obstacles.

You're right.

I...

I deserve more.

You do.

[CHUCKLES]
I'm so happy.

Kate, you know you could
do this on your phone, right?

I don't have the app.
It takes too long to download.

Advantages of having
the same password.

Come on. Got it.

Oh, thank you, beautiful Cloud

and complete invasion
of privacy.

Okay, this is the address.
Uh-huh. Alright.

It's a hostage situation.
It's Megan.

Alright.
That's her phone.

Tell them I'll meet them there.

Will do.
Okay.

It's just you and me now.

Forever.

[CHOKING]

Megan? What are you... What?

Megan? What are you doing?
Stop! Stop!

Are you... Don't do this.

No! Are you trying to...
No!

What're you doing?
Stop it.

Mama spent...

[GROANING]

Megan!

What's it gonna take
to get you to stay?

You don't want me to do
something drastic, do you?

Do you, Megan? Do I have to do
something drastic?

No! No, no. No.

[SOBBING]

I think I've lost
a little trust for you, Megan.

Trust... is the most
important part

of a relationship.

Can I trust you, Megan?
Yes.

Can I trust you?
Yes. Yes.

You can.

I love you.

[GRUNTING]

[SIREN BLARING]

Megan!

It's okay.
It's okay, you're safe.

It's okay, you're okay.
You're safe.

[SOBBING]
He, he killed Chris.

No! No, no, no.
He killed Chris.

Megs, look.

[SIRENS BLARING]

Come here. Come here.

You're okay. You're okay.

[SOBBING]

It's okay. It's okay.

You're okay. You're okay.

LLOYD: Megan!

Megan!

No one will ever love you
the way I love you.

Mama said "grand gestures."

Mama said...

Mr. Murrow, drop that knife.
Mama said...

Drop the knife.
Mama said, mama said...

Drop it! Okay, come on, kid.
Mama said...

FEMALE 4: Hands
behind your back.

Hands where we can see 'em.
Put your hands behind your back.

LLOYD: Mama said, mama said...

Mama said, mama said...

Mama said, mama said...

Mama said...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER ON RADIO]

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[SIRENS WAILING]

You're okay?
I'm so sorry.

What do you mean?
Don't apologize.

You didn't do anything wrong.

[SIGHS]

Aren't you glad you're okay?

I mean, you know you're not...

I mean, you know you're
not great, but...

You're okay.

Yeah.

Hey, uh...

Let's get married, okay?

I'm-I'm not in shock.
I am completely clear.

Are you sure?

I have never been more sure

about anything ever.

Give up all this?

Shut up.

I love you.
