Alice, Darling (2022) - full transcript

A young woman trapped in an abusive relationship becomes the unwitting participant in an intervention staged by her two closest friends.

Hi!

Hey!ALICE: Sorry I'm late.

No!ALICE: Rude.

It's fine.WAITER: Ladies.

Hey.Hey.

Um, we'll have

a bottle of the chardonnay

and three glasses,
please.

Sure.ALICE: Oh, no. Actually,

a vodka soda for me,
thank you.

Uh, the waiter's
in love with you.



I mean, I really feel like
he does not know

the definition
of the word "boundaries."

Yeah, because he sent you,
like, 14 dick pics.

Oh, and... he waxes.

Wow.SOPHIE: Yeah.

No!Like, the whole...

Really? But why?

I don't know.

Oh. Alice's guy
from the swim team?

Okay, we don't have
to talk about Dolphin Dave.

I want to have a nice night,
thank you very much.

Like, I don't think
that shaving
his body hair was

gonna make the difference
between Olympic trials

or not.



Oh, God.

Sorry.

Okay.Thank you.

Oh, thank you!You're very welcome.

Sophie.

The bottle.

And vodka soda.

Oh.

Yeah, you're
welcome.

He's obsessed
with you.Sophie, stop.

You don't see it?
Don't tell me
you don't see it.

I have a boyfriend.

Sophie, leave her alone.

Yes, thank you.

Sorry, it's
just Simon.

Um, actually, he has
a gallery opening on Friday,

he wanted me to invite
both of you guys.Oh!

That'd be great.
That... Yeah. Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah, definitely.

I just know there's, like...

collectors coming
and so he was saying

how much he would love
to introduce you.

Well, I'm not really working
in traditional media anymore.

Oh. That's amazing,
that's awesome.

It's new, we'll see.

Yeah. Uh...

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

Good to see you.You too.

Okay, so,
for my birthday...Yes.

No. No, no.
Your 30th.

We were
thinking the three
of us could go

to my parents' house
up north.

Don't worry,
Don and Sylvie
are in Florida,

so they will not be
gate-crashing the party.

Okay.You're gonna come, right?

You gotta come,
it's gonna be fun.
And I demand it.

I will
definitely see.

Oh.I should just go soon.

Hello?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

I didn't think
you'd be
so jumpy.

How was
your night?

I liked your picture.

Just one, huh?We were at dinner!

Well, we're home now.

Oh, you must be
feeling bad this morning.

Feeling bad?

I'm
feeling good,
but I didn't

go hard
on the cocktails
last night.

I did not go...

Never just a quiet
night with them two,
is it?

No.

Do you want
a cardamom bun

or a Danish?

I thought
we were cutting
back on sugar.

Well, we are,
but, you know,

we're good
all through
the week,

we can treat
ourselves every
once in a while,

can't we?

Okay, whatever
looks good.

Excuse me,
can I just get
two coffees...

Yeah, it just came up.

Just came up.

Just came up.

Do you remember
that sales thing?

Well, I think
it'd be bad
if I missed it.

Oh, so Colleen texted me.

Okay. Good to see you,
take care, bye!

Yeah, it just
came up.

They never
remember me
in there.

Like, I come
in here
every week,

it wouldn't
kill them
to say hello.

They're so
weird in there.

Okay, what do
you want?

Danish looks
all right.

It looks like
fresh out
of the oven.

Oh, so Colleen
texted me

this morning
about that
sales thing,

Do you remember
this thing I told
you about?

Well, anyway, it turns out
now they do need me to go.

Why?

Just, I came up,
I guess.

I mean, it's
gonna be boring,
you know?

A trip to Minneapolis,

but I think it'd be bad
if I missed it.

I guess you just
give me the impression

that you didn't
really care
about that job.

I think you can do
better than that.

A blank canvas
can be intimidating.

How do you
get started?

Uh,
experimentation,
you know.

Well, you know,
I try to be free
with it.

I just... I'm
boring myself.

I show everything
to Alice at a very
early stage.

Oh, I'll be
right back.

Hi!Oh, my God.

Oh, God,
I feel like
a potato.

You couldn't
be a potato.

You look nice,
though.

Oh, yeah.
Simon got
it for me.

It's expensive.

Uh, where's Tess,
I thought you were
gonna come together?

Um, so, she's...

Okay, she's
not coming.

It's just... yeah,
she said she would,

so I put her
on the list, and I...I know.

It's fine, it's fine.You know what she's like

when it comes
to work stuff.I know.

She gets all in
her head and...

you know. I'm sorry.

It's fine.Hey!

Hi, Sophie.Hi!

Thank you!
Oh, my God,
I need this.

You learn
pretty quick

that the
non-profit world,

it attracts nearly as many
narcissists and sociopaths

as, like, the corporate
sector does, so...

Well, I think
that what you do
is amazing.

I do, I do.
I think it's
incredible.

It's like
a million times
more important

than any
of this, but...Oh, my God.

Thanks for
coming anyway.

Stop it,
this is
amazing.

Congratulations.Thank you.

Thank you for
inviting me.

I hope it's a
huge success.

I'm so glad you
could make it,

it's great
to see you.

Thank you.

Hey!

Mmm.

Mini pork bun?Oh, I'm fine.

You sure?I'm fine.

Alice, Uber's here.I'm sorry we didn't

get to hang out
all night.It's okay.

It's a big night
for him.

So,

you are gonna come
to the cottage, right?I promise, I promise.

Alice!I'll see you tomorrow,

good night.
I love you.Come on.

Let's go!Goodnight. Love you, too.

It was a complete
fucking train wreck.

No one even showed up.

There were, like,
a hundred people there.

I'm talking about
important people.

You still
don't understand
this business.

it's cutthroat.

If people
aren't coming
to your shows,

it's because
you're washed up.

You have
to be the best

or you're nothing.

You are the best.

You are to me.

Oh, my love.
I wish you could
see what I see.

My perfectionist.

You're so
brilliant.

You're amazing.

Hey.

Hmm.

Hey! Thank you.

♪ You're like a bomb

♪ And I'll never be the same

♪ My heart just blown away

♪ In the middle of the day

♪ You're like a bomb

Sophie, um,
can you pull over?

You okay?

Fuck. Sorry, guys.

You okay?Yeah.

- Oh, God.
- Oh, no.

I shouldn't
have looked at
my phone, it's my bad.

You're
all right.

All right.TESS: I want birthday pancakes

with real syrup.SOPHIE: Okay.

Then leave the fake stuff.

We got maple syrup right here.

All right.SOPHIE: Okay.

You want
chocolate chip
pancakes?

Of course
you do. Okay.

Two. And s'mores.

Ooh,
S'mores!
Good idea.

Okay.

I think
it's just crazy.

You can't let
a girl like that
wander around

doing whatever
she wants.

I mean,
of course, she's
gone missing.

Parents have
no rules
anymore.

My kids know exactly

what kind of hell
there'd be to pay

if I caught them
sneaking around
like that.

I mean, why
would she put herself
in that situation?

Shotgun.

What's a yoga bro?

You know, it's those
super muscular guys

that have to grunt
their way into every pose.

It's totally performative.SOPHIE: Right.

And they have
to fight their way

to the front
of the class

so everybody can see
their balls hanging.

All right.

Thank you.

Oh, your dad finally
fixed the screen door.

Yeah,
he did it when
he opened up.

Got it.SOPHIE: Thank you.

Okay.

All right.
You can put
that there.

And then
through here.

Okay, Tess,
you're in my
brother's room.

Alice, you're
in my room
at the end.

Great.SOPHIE: Yeah.

Hmm.SOPHIE: Remember these?

I love how
your mom never changes

anything about
this place.

All right.

Thank you.

You're right.

Why... Why...
Why have
I stopped

having sleep orgasms?

That's
normal for you?

In your sleep to...

I like a free orgasm.

Me, too. Oh, my God.

Wouldn't have to
put in any work.

I had a sex dream
the other night.

Oh?

No. I mean,
it was bad.

Oh.It was...

It was with the, um...

the waiter from
the wine bar.

He's hot.Ugh.

Like, I shouldn't
be having

sex dreams about
someone else
when I'm with Simon.

Oof. Who
told you that?

No one,
that's just
how I feel.

Um, I'll clear...

Alice.

Alice.

Alice!

Look at me.

You don't want me?

I'm just tired.
Listen.

If you don't want
to fuck me, you don't
want to fuck me.

Alice.

Alice?

Will you come
join us?

Sure.

I don't know, I mean... I don't...

Hey, everyone,
you are listening toHurdle.

I am so, so excited
to bring you today's episode

because I am chatting
with my dear friend...

...core values,
and we're living

and breathing them
every day in our lives.

That's what makes us
feel most fulfilled.
Right.

So if you can
begin your day like that,

so it's not own your morning,

a.k.a., like, do as much
as possible within,

like, a three-hour time span

starting at 4:00 a.m.
Correct.

But they're
owning your morning

by giving you and yourself,

and your mental health,
and your soul what it needs.

Hi there.

Have you seen
this girl?
Andrea Evans.

No, uh,
we just got here
yesterday.

I'm sorry
I can't be
more helpful.

You keep that,

there's a hotline
you can call if
you've seen anything.

Search parties leave
at 8:00 every morning
from the church,

if you could
spare the time.

Yeah, okay.

Uh, thank you.
Or, good luck.

Take care.

Double
word score.

Wow. "Door."
Wow, well done.

You are making this
too easy.

My turn. All right.

All right.
That was rude.

You really did it.

Don't be mad.

What? No.SOPHIE: Yes!

Hey, Gossip Girl,
we need
a second opinion.

Uh, what is it?

"Quakey."

Uh, maybe.

We'll take that
as a yes,
so that is

twenty-one,
double word score.

Wait, why Gossip Girl?

I don't know,
the phone, the hair.

You are aware
that popular culture
has evolved

over the
last decade.TESS: And?

Maybe your
references are getting
a little bit stale.

Yeah?TESS: Mm-hmm.

A reboot?
With who?

Hey.

Um...

so I think I'm gonna
have to leave early.

I know,
it's just,
work is

really intense
right now.

Seriously?
We're here
for my birthday.

I... Yeah,
I... Sorry, I...

I don't really
expect you
to understand.

You're right,
I don't understand.

I was under
the impressionthat
we took the week off

so that we could
spend it together.

What are you taking
the week off from?

I'm sorry,
does my work
not count

because I don't
get paid for it?

Of course, your
work counts, Tess.

Your work is
amazing.

Sophie, that's not

what we're talking
about right now.

Hey.Hello.

Guess what
I brought?

What?

Fireworks for
Tess' birthday.

It's a surprise
so don't say anything.

Why are you doing
all this for her?

I think you should
cut her some slack.

This is a...

It's a milestone
of a birthday,

and I think that
she is a little nervous

'cause... she thinks
that she should
be further along.

I think
she would expect

to be at Simon's
level right now,

not that
she would admit that.

Anyway,

I thought we could
have a picnic

at that little island
across the lake.

Yeah, I don't want to be
in a boat with her right now.

Stop it,
it'll be fun.

Sophie, I'm serious.

Maybe this is

just about
our friendship
not being

what it
used to be.Whose friendship?

Mine and Tess'.

I don't think
you're being fair.

Anyway,

we all think
our worst thoughts
at night.

You will not
think this way
in the morning.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Andrea!

I haven't
let the girls leave
the house in days.

They're on
the verge
of mutiny.

If she's hurt,
it's probably someone
she knows.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Listen,
forget about the history.

We talked about this
over and over.

You've told me you can't be
your real self around them.

When you've seen them,
do you have a good time
or not?

Why do you
put yourself through this?

Do you feel better or worse?

And I think you already know
what you have to do.

And there is
a really easy solution,

you don't need them
in your life anymore.

It's tough, I know it's tough.

Part of growing up is
knowing when to let go.

Hey, you missed
a really fun day.

Hey, where were you?

I went out with
one of the search parties.

Hmm. Did
you find her?

No.

So, definitely worth
missing spending
the day with us, then.

All right, I need
some help
at the wood shed,

can you help me out?Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Fuck me!

Okay, lesson
number one.

This is
a maul.

I never want
to hear you call it
an ax, okay?

So look for the
natural splits
in the wood,

get your distance.

Feet like so.Okay.

And when
you swing,

you want this hand
to fall in line

with this hand.
So, like...

Okay.

Got it?Yeah.

Wow. You're good.Well,

that was
hardly anything.

Okay.

Nice.

Shit.

Alice? I think
we have enough.

No, it's fine.

Yeah.

Thanks.

You just pretend to be
this meek little victim.

You sit there with this
placid look on your face.

I'm here
trying to get through to you,

I'm actually asking you
to do something.

This is exactly what you do.
This is exactly what you do.

I'm tired...

of carrying you.

♪ You say

♪ I only hear
what I want to

all the time

Alice.

Come on.

Come on.

All right.

Okay.

Hey.

I want you.

Whoo!
All right!
Come on, Sophie!

Tess!TESS:

Good morning!SOPHIE: Tess.

And then what
happens to your body,

it goes into starvation mode

and you feel
compelled to eat...

But, like...
like, a super a lot.

Super a lot, got it.

You're gonna
give us diabetes.

I'm making
cinnamon rolls,

I can't do it
without sugar.

You know it's
more addictive
than cocaine, right?

Yeah, obviously.

Cocaine isn't
even that good.

You know,
I remember a time

when you used
to like sugar.

Yeah.

There's just
all this research now

on how it, like, corrodes
your organs and stuff, so.

Hmm.

What?

I...

I just know what
disordered eating
looks like.

Is this better?Alice, what are you doing?

I mean, if you think
I should have more,
I can just keep going.

Stop! Alice, stop!Is something wrong?

I'm fine!
I'm fine!Stop, Alice!

Hey, baby.

Yeah, no, I can hear you.

What's going on?

I have no idea.

...your friends,

and that you're actually
at a cottage.

So you... you lied to me.

Yeah.

No, I know.

This is just classic bullshit.

Like, why would you tell me

that you're going on
a road trip when you...

I don't know why. I know.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah,
I love you.

Who was that?

Uh, just Simon.
He needs me.

What? Why?You're kidding.

No.What, he can't figure out

how to turn the dishwasher on?

When did he become
more important
to you than us?

Jesus Christ, Tess!

Not everything's
about you.

Me? Are you serious?

I can't believe
she's talking
about leaving.

Yeah.

She could
have stayed
for my birthday.

It's...
frustrating.

We're having
a good time, right?

When did she
become such a flake.

I love you, Alice.

Did you take my stuff?

Cinnamon bun?Tess.

What stuff?

My phone and my wallet.
I know you have them, come on.

Why would I take
your phone and your wallet?

You know why.I want to hear you say it.

Sophie went
to the store
and...

hm, you and I need
some alone time.

That's the last thing
that we need, man.

Okay, come on.
You know me
better than that.

I'll never
forgive you, just
so you know.

I'll tell you
where they are

if you come out
on the paddle board.

Oh, my God.

Should we
play a game?ALICE: Like what?

Stand up.Why?

Come on, it'll be fun.

Come on,
fight back.

Come on!

Christ, Tess.

Ugh!

What is wrong with you?

I didn't think
you were gonna fall in.

You were sitting down.

Can you help?

Yeah, it's freezing!

What?

What?My earring!

Fuck!Well, it's gone now.

Simon gave me
those earrings.

What are
you doing?

It's like
30 feet deep here.

You can't
see shit
down there.

Alice!

Stop it.

Alice!

Alice!

What are
you doing?

I can't... I can't...

I can't...Can't what?

I can't do
another thing wrong.

Fuck.Alice.

I can't do
another thing wrong.

Alice, what does
that even mean?

No, I lied to him.
He doesn't even know
that I'm here.

What?I mean, he does now.

He called.

Well, why did
you lie to him?

Because I'm
bad.

What?

He wouldn't love
me if he knew
how bad I am.

Jesus, is that something
that he tells you?

You're such
a fucking cunt
sometimes.

Alice?

Alice?

Alice, is it?No! Just... no.

Hey.

Why do
you let him pull
this shit with you?

He's not...
He's not
pulling anything.

I lied to him, he has
every right to be angry.

You lied?
About what?

Just... about being here.

Alice,
you can't tell

your supposed life partner

that you're going
to go on a trip with
your best friends

and somehow
that's your fault.

I can't think of a bigger
red flag than that.ALICE: It's not...

Hey, can we
just approach this

without
judgment?

Are you seriously
telling me
that you have

no opinions about this?

Of course I do,
but Alice is
a grown woman.

Yes! And I don't know
how any of this is

your business.When you're friends

with somebody,
it means you care

about the other person.

But I guess
that's a concept

Simon managed
to erase from
your brain

along with the rest
of your personality.Tess, stop it.

Maybe this
is my personality

and I'm changing,

and you're the
shitty friend
for not, like,

letting me
change. We're
not all content

to, like, flip
between projects.

Some of us have
real adult lives.

Fucking a 40-year-old
does not make you an adult.

He's 37.

Yeah, he's a fucking clown.

And he's got this stupid,
smarmy accent

and his art is...

self-indulgent,
derivative garbage.

You're just jealous
because he's
successful and you're...

I'm what?

Simon loves me.
I'm happy.

Is this what
you think love is?

What would you know?
You've never been

in a serious
relationship.

Romantic love isn't
the only kind of love.

Only boring people
think that.

Okay, cool.
I guess I'm boring then.

Well, I mean,
if the shoe fits.
I didn't say it.

God, I can't
stand you
right now!

I can't stand
you right now!

Fuck, fuck, fuck,
fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Alice?

Please, please go away.
Please go away.
Please go away.

Please go.

Please go.

Alice?Please go away, please!

Andrea!

Andrea!

Hello?

Andrea?

I'm assuming
you don't care
that I was worried.

Can I come in?

I guess.

I made you a sandwich
in case you're hungry

but don't want
to admit it.

Thank you.

Sophie's gone
looking for you.

I think she's
pissed at us.

I'm sorry
that I made you worry.

You good?

I don't want
to go home.

Then we'll stay.

Sophie back yet?

No.

This ax is a
piece of shit.

That's
actually
a maul.

Ugh, great.

Thank you for that.

"She felt very young,

"and at the same time
unspeakably aged.

"She sliced like a knife
through everything.

"She had a perpetual sense
of being out, out,

"far out to sea and alone.

"She always had
the feeling that it was

"very, very dangerous
to live even one day."

I like you
reading me to sleep.

You were gone a while.

I needed some space.

You know,

this trip isn't
just about you,
Tess.

You make me sound
like a bully.

Well...

I'm not a bully!

Oh, my God, stop!

Wow. Now that
is cleared up,

who would
like a donut?

Hot Chocolate?

Yes, please.Yeah.

How did Simon
know you were here?

He looked at my email.

He never would have
let me come.

What?

Yeah, he checks
things sometimes.

Alice.

I know.

He always has a reason.

I take my phone
into the bathroom
with me

now when I shower.

Andrea!

Andrea!

Andrea!

I know
this sounds crazy,
but sometimes it feels like...

like he can read my mind,

and, like...

if he can do that, then...

there's nowhere left
that I can actually be alone.

I never know what's
going to make him angry,

so I spend all this time

trying to be good,
trying to think of ways
to be better.

Like if I could just
purify my thoughts.

But you can't.
I mean...

it's never good enough.

I... I don't
know.

But he doesn't hurt me
or anything, you know?

He doesn't hurt you?

I really wish
you would have
told us this sooner.

I didn't know
what to say.

♪ Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday!

Wow!

Oh, you're
a wise old lady now.

Uh, I have
always been
a wise old lady.

In spirit, at least.

I'm just gonna
go for it.

Uh, I'm sorry,
but I don't think

this is enough
chocolate chips.

Whoa.Excuse me?

Is this how you
treat people
on their birthday?

That's a good
chip-to-pancake ratio.

Oh, my God.

We should go out tonight.

Is there even
anything around here?

Maybe the place
near the food mart.

I just don't know if it's open
this early in the season.

I could check
if I had my phone.

Do you want it back?

No.

Not yet.

What will he do
if he doesn't
hear from you?

I'm not sure.

I could text him

and tell him
that you got
hit by a bus.

Oh, my God, Tess.

Oh, happy birthday!Happy birthday!

Happy
Birthday!To me.

To you!

Oh, Jesus.

Ugh!

No, I...
I feel like I got one.

Don't say that!

No, in sympathy.
In sympathy.

I don't really have one,

but I just need to pee
all the fucking time.

Needing to pee
and having a UTI is not
the same thing.

Yeah, it is!
It's like Cystitis and, like...

Cystitis?ALICE: Oh, she's smart.

I need to pee.

So, you know.

Ugh.

Hmm. Simon thinks
chips are disgusting.

Nobody actually
thinks that.ALICE: He does.

"Alice, that's enough...

"that's enough
saturated fats to...

"Alice,
that's enough saturated fat
to kill a horse.

"Alice.
Alice...

"You'll regret that
when you get on
the scale in the morning.

"You are going to get fat
if you keep eating like that."

What, do I just
light it?

This was your idea.

That doesn't mean
I know how to do it.

Just,
I don't know, light
the string thing.

This thing?ALICE: Yeah.

Gosh.

Oh, my God.

I feel like garbage.

You asked
the waitress
for birthday shots.

Remember that drink
you used to make us?

Which one?Gin and Smirnoff Ice.

Ugh.

Oh, that must
be egg guy.

Egg guy?

Oh, you should come.
He's guaranteed to have,

like, a duck
or a kitten with him.

I like cats.

Oh.

There's my girl.

Missed you.

I didn't know
you were coming.

I've been calling
and calling.

Well, the service
is pretty bad up here.

Your Instagram feed
says otherwise.

Well, I'm sure
Alice will explain
it all to me later.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Alice, will you
stop fussing?

I can...

It's...
It's fine.

I guess I got too much, eh.

I hope no one was
desperate for olives.

This is kind
of a girls trip, Simon.

We weren't
expecting you.

What, are we telling
ghost stories?

Alice was missing
me, so I thought
I'd swing by.

Tess.

And Sophie.Thanks.

Your favorite,
my love.

Thank you.

Jeez, are you sure
you're not trying

to give us
mad cow disease,
Simon?

Would you like me
to put yours back on,

Tess?It's fine.

It's really
not a problem.It's fine.

Sorry.

Well, cheers.

Cheers.

I was pretty worried
about you

when I didn't
hear back from you.

You know, I heard about
the girl who went missing.

Yeah.

They didn't
find the guy
who killed her yet.

Why would you
just assume
that she's dead?

I'm not assuming.

The checkout clerk
couldn't stop going
on about it.

Um, I found...

this thing
out of that cottage.

It's just weird.

It might be hers,
it might mean something.

What, this?

Alice, darling, I...

I really don't think
anyone's gonna
care about this.

No, probably not.

You look different.

No, it's
the hair, I think.

Yeah, it's very...

bohemian.

My beautiful girl.

Hmm.

You didn't tell me
you were living
in the lap of luxury.

But then there's lots
of things you didn't
tell me.

I mean, how are
we supposed to be
happy together

if we can't trust
each other?

Are you sorry
for what you did?

It's completely
destabilizing

when you do
shit like this.

It derails my work.

I know, I'm sorry.

I just...
I...

I'm trying to work out

why you would choose

to hurt me
so deliberately.I just... No.

I...

I mean, I just wanted

to hang out
with my friends.Right.

I wasn't...So you wanted to be here

with them at my expense.

You're incredibly
selfish.

Come here.

Come on.

I haven't even
got to properly
kiss you yet.

Just let me
brush my teeth.

Should...

Actually I need
to get up as soon

as possible
in the morning

so we can get
out of here.

I can't wait
to get home.

You're leaving?

Uh, I have to. Yeah.

You know that.

Be home soon.

Ah...

God, they
take themselves so
fucking seriously,

don't they?

Look at this guy.

Come on, man.

Maybe I should
get out and push.

Sophie!

What the fuck.

What the fuck are you doing?

Look what you've done
to my fucking car!

What...

What the...
What is wrong
with you?

Alice.

Alice, come on.
Get in the car.

Alice.

Alice.

No.

Jesus Christ.

Come on. Mm.

We should
get going.

Let's just...

Come on, put
the fucking ax down.

It's a fucking
maul, Simon.

Can you put
the maul down?

Alice?

I know
you're very
emotional.

In fact,
I came
out here

because I
was worried.

She said no.

Alice?

Just... Hey.

Hey.

Alice, let's
just, uh...

just take a breath.

Just get in the car.

Come home.

You've
always said

they don't really know you.

You're so full
of shit.

Alice.

It's just...

It's you and me,
come on.
It's just us.

Let's go home.

We can work
through this.

I'm trying
to prove
I'm someone

who really loves you.

Let's just forget
about all of this,
it doesn't matter.

She said no.

Why don't you shut
your fucking mouth?

And stay the fuck
out of this!

Back off!

It's okay.

Fuck this.

I give it a week.

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

Sometimes I get a...

a word or a saying
stuck in my head.

Like a...

phrase that keeps surfacing,

and it will just repeat itself
again and again and again

until it's all I can hear.

And for a while,
it was this voice asking me...

"What are the chances?

"What are the chances?
What are the chances?"

What are
the chances of what?

Um, I don't
know. Maybe...

what are the chances
I don't come out
on the other side?

What are the chances
I don't want to?

And lately,
it's, um...

someone asking me,

"Where will you
put your shame?

"Where will you
put your shame?"

And it's my voice,
but it isn't.

You can
give it
to us.

Here.

Did it work?
