Go/Don't Go (2020) - full transcript

Caught between a lost love story and inescapable paranoia, "Go / Don't Go" is a genre-bending slow burn thriller that follows Adam, a wallflower who happens to be the last person left alive-or so he thinks.

I really believe
that I heard voices.

Well, maybe you did.

How can anybody say
that you didn't?

- I think I'm...
- No.

I want us to go away.

I think that getting
away would help.

Adam.

Adam. Adam!

Pretty good turnout, right?

- Like the spread?
- Yeah. Yeah.

Really, really got me.
I don't think I know any of these people.



Oh, no. Oh, no!

- Excuse me.
- Yeah. No!

Yeah, no, no...

- None of these people are here for you.
- Yeah. Yeah, totally.

But there's definitely someone
I particularly want you to meet.

- Yeah?
- She's right over there.

- Yeah.
- What?

- Yeah, okay.
- Okay! Yo, that's it.

Yo, I just had to
build you up a wall

just to say hi
to a girl.

Well, look at you growing up with
your big old suit and your tie.

- Yeah.
- You're doing it, baby.

This is great.
Making progress.

Okay, look. Okay.



Go to the bar, get a drink.
Chill out.

- Mm-hmm.
- And I'll be there. You okay?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Adam. Adam!

Adam! Adam!

- This is K. K, this is...
- Adam.

Yeah, I just heard you say it
like five times. Hey!

Oh, she is sassy
as fuck!

Hey, happy birthday.

And I'm your best friend,

and I hate you,

so I'm gonna leave
you all to it.

Okay.

- So what are you drinking?
- I'll get you one.

That'd be smart.

So, do you know
all these people?

No, not really.

Looks like they're
celebrating something.

Yeah.

Yeah, uh,
I don't know.

Listen, I know, if I'm like,
talking a lot,

uh, and it's, like,
annoying you or something.

- I just... I get really nervous...
- Wait, I'm sorry.

- when I just...
- Talking a lot?

Are you serious?

No, Just come on,
for two seconds.

Just be serious. Okay?

Okay. Like a...
a radio.

- No, that doesn't count.
- I could tune it.

And I could listen
to people talking. Um...

- Okay.
- Okay. No.

Uh, okay. One thing

- on a desert island.
- One thing on a desert island.

Uh, could I bring
someone like you?

Oh, my God.
You're not joking.

Um...

That's against
the rules.

No. I know that
you hate people.

- So it doesn't count.
- I don't hate people.

Yes, you do.
No, wait!

Wait, hold on.

What exactly do you mean
by "a person like me"?

Oh, are you like having a conversation
with us in your head or something?

Oh, no. Uh, no,
that was... that was dumb

that I said that. That...
that was dumb that I said that.

You know, someone
who could like,

you can, like,
build stuff.

What, like a jack-handy
type girl?

No. Not a jack...
Not a... No.

Like, just someone who, you
know, that's not what I meant.

Okay.

I think you're... just think
you're really smart.

Yeah? Stupid.

Stupid.

That was... that was dumb.
I was just...

- It was a dumb thing to say.
- No.

No, that's not dumb.

I just...
hope the conversation's going well.

How about you finish that
and close your tab?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

He may have run away.

- Find him then.
- Yes.

You must find him

wherever he is.

I'll go to his apartment,

wait for his return.

We cannot wait.
We're losing time.

Typically, for a period
a place with happy personal associations.

But can we get
stuck in nostalgia?

Can it be harmful to us?

All right, try now.

Yeah.

Here we go.

That's it.

Okay.

Three weeks on this car.

Can't even get
it to start.

Yeah, hey, it's Adam,
down at the shop.

Uh, I got, uh...

just wanted to remind you
I got the truck down here.

Yeah, I, I, uh...

I don't know if it's the battery
or the alternator or what.

Um, I won't bore you
with the details, but,

you don't need
to call me back.

Eighth man up in the
inning and it's been a wild one.

Now, Clay Carroll checking out
the sand with Johnny Bench.

It's a two-strike delivery.
Ground ball...

The Reds lead, four to two.

We never had
a honeymoon.

We always told ourselves
we'd have one, one day.

Remember?

There is nothing
wrong with your television set.

Do not attempt to adjust
the picture.

We are
controlling transmission.

We will control
the horizontal.

We will control
the vertical.

We can change the focus
to a soft blur

or sharpen it
to crystal clarity.

For the next hour,
sit quietly

and we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to participate
in a great adventure.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the inner mind

to the outer universe.

Yeah,
hey, it's Adam, down at the shop.

Uh, I got a...

just wanted to remind you
I got the truck down here.

Yeah. I, I, uh, I don't know if it's the
battery or the alternator or what. Um...

I won't bore you
with the details, but,

yeah, uh, no need
to call me back.

So...

Hey, it's me. You. Me.
I'm on Mitchell Road,

and I remembered there's a
hardware store down here.

It's got auto parts, I think, and, uh, there's
a lock on the door, so bring the key.

It's marked on the map.
So you won't forget.

All right.

- Yeah. More, more wood. More wood.
- More wood.

Adam!

Come on!

- I can't!
- Yes, you can!

Yes, you can!

Great.

That's great.

No, no, no.

Oh. Fuck!

I can't fix this.

Mm-hmm.

Eight miles.

You know I just saw you.

Well, I... I don't know.
I don't think you did.

I just straight up
saw you look at my ass.

I...

I was looking that direction,

but definitely past... past it.

Right past it, so...

No, you looked
right at it, and then...

you licked your lips.

I think you want me
to say that I looked at it,

or is that what's happening?

I just want you to loosen up.

- Yeah.
- You know?

- Yeah.
- You're just a little...

stiff, a little rigid.

Just, you know, shake it off.

Yeah, totally.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

I can loosen up.

- Yeah.
- Almost.

I've been out here
a long, long time now.

What is that
supposed to mean?

Oh, so, honey,

I hear you an Adam will be
moving in together soon.

Yeah, yeah.
We've been talking about it.

Mm. Isn't that right?

Uh, yeah, that's...
That's right.

All right,
then, it's settled.

To K, Adam.

Oh, what the hell are we
gonna do about that?

Where do we even get that?

I don't have that in the house.

Tom, I told you
to get gas last week.

You were supposed to
go through the garage to look.

All right, everybody, stay calm.
We have to keep packing.

Damn it, Jane,
we don't have to leave tonight.

We're packing
in case we have to.

I don't know what to do.

Yes, we're gonna fill up
the bathtub.

And we're gonna
keep gathering supplies.

And Adam and I
will make a run for gas.

Once we get back, we'll have
a better idea of what's going on

and make the decision
if we stay or go.

But if... if we go,

we have to make it to the top of the
mountain and see what's happening.

Top of the mountain.
Top of the mountain,

so we can see what's happening.
What direction is best to go in.

We just... We have
to stay together.

What the fuck!

Shit!

They were there.

They were there, and then...

they were gone.

Adam, Adam.

- Adam.
- Yeah.

Come on. Really?

What? I'm not making it up.

I saw it. You saw it.

You've been out here
a long, long time, man.

What is that supposed to mean?

Usually have to peel you off the
wall just to say hello to someone.

You were never the person that
would care about what people think.

Now, that's all
you can think about.

Maybe you're looking
for someone who isn't there.

That's bullshit.

So explain the house trap.
Who are those for?

I don't... I don't know.

Uh, that's... that's what
I'm trying to figure out.

What the fuck you don't know?
We're the only ones out here.

We're the only ones out here.
We're the only ones out here.

We're the only ones out here.

It's... it's different now.

It's not that different.

It's just you and me.

Just like it used to be.

You didn't think I had a chance.

I definitely didn't
think you had a chance. No.

I didn't think
I had a chance either.

And honestly, I don't know
what happened.

It probably
should have been you.

Yeah, but, you know...

You're a smart guy.

You ever heard
of failing upward?

That's you. I've never
met someone that just...

hung out in the bar,
in the corner

by himself, avoiding everyone.

And still ends up
leaving with the girl.

You MVP, man.

Would you believe me if I told
you I didn't know how I got here?

Sounds like
failing upward to me.

Now, look, man, I know you.

You got some tricks
up your sleeve.

You know, I thought
I'd eventually get up here,

and see something.

I've been trying
to get up here for so long.

That was always the plan.

And now that I'm here,

I feel like
I've been here before.

Like I've felt that before.

Mm-hmm. Deja senti.

- Deja senti.
- Already felt.

You felt
something and then forgotten it.

A taste, a smell, a sound.

Someone's voice.

Then you experience it again.

It's different,
but it feels familiar.

Like hearing yourself speak.

But then realizing,

in fact, you didn't
utter a word.

Hey, it's me.
Just wanted to remind you that

you haven't gone shopping
in a couple of days.

Supplies are getting low.

Uh, there's still a shelf
of powdered milk in aisle two,

so, you know, just... just
go in there and take it.

Uh, you don't need to, like,

wait in line
and do that whole thing,

so just... just
go in there and take it.

Uh... okay. Bye.

Hey. Yeah.
So, you know that one trail

we used to cut back from,
you know, from behind overlook.

Uh, don't... don't go
that way anymore.

Just trust me, okay?

Just... just don't...
don't go that way.

Hey, it's me.
You, me, us, whatever.

Uh, you know,
you know who it is.

Um, just, yeah, you know,

I know who it is,
you know who it is,

It's not like anyone else
is gonna call, you know,

which, I don't know why
you never pick up the phone.

Um, it's just like a...
I just think it's time that

we get up to the mountain,
you know? So just let me know

when you're ready
to get up there

and check things out. Okay?
Okay. Okay.

Yeah.

They're gone.

Everyone.

I don't, um...

She's... she's gone.

Just... just don't, um...

Just...

Adam.

What are you doing?

Adam.

What are you doing?

Huh?

I said,
what are you doing?

Why're you so dressed up?

Dressed up?

I just got some errands
I have to run and...

got a hot date tonight. So...

- Hot date?
- Yeah.

Well, don't have too much fun
on this date.

I need you
to come back here to me.

Okay. I will.

She's kind of
a weirdo anyway, so...

- A weirdo?
- Yeah. She likes to build stuff

and she's got
this lumberjack pipe.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Please get a clean up
on aisle one.

Aisle one clean up, please.

We got a broken bottle, glass.

Need some help.

Clean up on aisle one, please.
Thank you.

Little help on aisle one,
please. Anybody?

Can I get some help, please,
aisle one?

Come on.

Open.

Fuck.

Shit.

Come on!

Come on.

Champ. The champ.

He's a champion!
He's a champion!

That was wild!

Everybody's screaming for him.

Right?

He's not a bad bowler.
That's what they're saying.

Not that bad. He's okay.

Whoo! He's got ten pins.

He's got one chance.

Oh, that was so close.

Not good. Not a good one.

He's a champion!
He's a champion!

He's a champion!
He's a champion!

He's a champion!
He's a champion!

Whoa! He's a champion.

Hey! Wait!

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

You have to let me go.

The idea of you is
the only thing keeping me alive.

The idea of me is
slowly killing you.

I can do that all by myself.

I know.

I know.
