I Propose We Never See Each Other Again After Tonight (2020) - full transcript

Oh, Jeff!
Hey.

Uh, yeah.

I think you're mistaking me
for someone else.

Oh, there you go.

Ah.

No.

Like, it's Iris,
from Clarissa's party.

Yeah. No, I... Yeah, sorry.
I don't think you're...-

Oh, my God.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.
No, it's okay.



I thought you were Jeff.
Oh, my God.

Awkward.

And you're walking
this way, too.

Yeah, I know.

- Great.
- I'm Simon.

- Iris.
- Yeah. Got that.

Uh, tell me something
about yourself, Iris.

Mmm, okay. Well,

my sister Agnes
is engaged to

this porn-loving guy
named Justin.

She can't see he's such
a sleaze ball, but I can.

But no one ever
listens to me.

I mean, my opinion

doesn't really count much
in my family,



especially when
it comes to my sister.

She's just smarter
and, like, you know,

more serious than me.

And it just makes me feel,
like, stupid,

or almost invisible.

Yikes.

That's too much.

No. It...

- Huh.
- Hmm.

I have these, uh,

super strict
Mennonite parents.

They don't live
in the city,

but they're, like,
always dropping in

to, like, check in
and see what I'm doing.

Yeah?

Mostly it's just
super embarrassing.

But, like,
it's so clear to me

that they also think

I'm this 10-year-old kid
still.

I don't know.

Hold on.

You want to go grab
a drink?

Right now?

Yeah.

Uh, yeah.

So, seeing that

I've already overshared
and stuff,

I have a proposal.

May I?

- Please. Yep.
- Okay.

I propose we never
see each other again

after tonight,

so we can say
anything we want.

I don't need to know
your last name.

You don't need to
know mine.

Just reveal
whatever secrets

we want to,
just for tonight,

and then
we'll leave it at that.

Uh...

...okay.

Yeah?

Yeah. I'm very nervous
right now. Should I be?

You got a lot of secrets?

Ooh, you do.

- We'll find out. We're going to find out.
- Okay.

And we're cheers-ing
on it.

Here goes.

That's legally binding.

Okay.

You first.

I just tell you a secret?

Yeah. Anything. Random.

Uh, I have a fear.

You have a fear?

I have a fear.

I'm, um, scared of horses.

Why?

Uh, I don't...
They're for... Okay.

Um, they're...
I don't know.

- I honestly do not know.
- Is it just the way they look?

- Is it the sound?
- Yes. Their weird looks.

It feels like maybe
they know how you feel.

Maybe. I don't know.

Wow.

I don't trust them
at all.

I mean, sure.

Fully afraid.

And I wish I had, like,
a cool story

where I was, like, caught in
a horse stampede, but no.

Yeah. You know, like...
Or something like

you were on a horse
and then you fell off.

Not even that.
Never even got on a horse.

Good start.

Uh, I keep
a bullshit journal.

I do this thing where
I have a blank agenda,

plan some dates
and events

and trips,
write it in pen,

but I don't actually
do them.

It's just for show.

I kind of like it.

There's something...
There's something to that.

- Interesting.
- Yeah, right.

- Yeah, yeah.
- You'd be, like...

No, no. You got...
There's something.

It's, uh, layers.
I'm, like, scared of horses.

You got a whole...
You got a whole thing.

Weird.

I've only been here for three...
Three years.

- I came from Morden.
- Oh!

- You know it?
- I've never been.

- Oh, my God. You're missing out.
- Am I?

City of dreams, yeah.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Anyways, so I came here.
- Yeah... yeah, came here.

And I didn't know anyone.

The first time I went to
a bar in this city,

I got in a fight.

Wow. You don't...

Not, like, a fight.

Like, I just got, like,
the shit kicked out of me.

Oh, yeah. You don't
strike me as a punchy...

Probably, like, the accurate...
Scrapper, yeah. No.

Yeah, okay.

And I couldn't stop thinking
about it,

and I kept playing it
over and over in my head.

And then I found the guy,
online.

And, uh,
ever since that happened,

I follow him on Facebook.

And I just constantly
check his page,

because I'm hoping one time
I log in

and something, like, really
horrible has happened to him,

like house burned down,
fell down a flight of stairs.

Anything.
Like, I check it a lot.

That's fucked up.

I know. I know.

I was born with...

...a congenital
heart disease.

Like, my heart has
this tiny little hole.

And if they weren't going to
fix it, I was going to die.

My parents
always tell me this,

how they looked at

the entire operation
through a window,

so they've literally

seen my heart.

So, I can't really hide anything
from them.

I, uh...

I never...

...do this.
You know what I mean?

- I can't, uh... I feel like...
- Talk to people?

Well, no. I can talk to people.

I just sort of feel like

I usually...
I never let anyone close.

When things get intense,
I walk.

I literally
walk out the door.

So, it's easier
just to wear this mask,

and I can't let
anybody past that,

'cause then it's just me
after that, and I don't know.

I don't want to give that
to anyone.

Hmm.

I always wished that
I was that girl,

the one that makes
the wild choices.

Like, I've only ever had
one guy

that I slept with,

and that was
a while ago.

I don't feel like

anyone
could want me.

Like, I'm just
this unlovable girl.

You seem like the opposite
of unlovable.

Well...

...it's getting late.
I got to go.

Oh, seriously?

Thanks for the...

Yeah. Yeah, totally.

Okay. Yeah.

Bye-bye.

You ever been in
a three-way?

No.

You want to?

Uh, with you?

Well, yeah, probably.

So, this dude,
he's talking to me, right?

He's asking me all these
questions, and then he's, like,

"How would you like to make
a thousand dollars

"to be in a porno?
And if you bring your friend,

he can make
a thousand dollars, too."

You want to do
a porno?

You want me to be in a porno,
with you?

Why not? Yeah.

What?
It's not weird.

- It is weird.
- It's not weird.

Yeah. It's ridiculously weird.

I cannot believe
we're having this conversation.

Look.

You don't
have to look at it.

You don't have to look at it.

I won't look at yours.

You won't have to
look at mine.

- We don't got to make eye contact.
- You will look at mine.

I might just. Why?

- No.
- Why not?

It's insane to me that I would
have to explain that to you.

Well...

Well, it's not like
you ain't having sex.

Now you're just
getting paid for it.

Ugh.

What? What's up?

Nothing.

What? Come on.
Fuck that. What's up?

You and I,
we know each other.

We can be ourselves.

You can ask me to be
in a porno for some reason.

But you know,
you meet someone new

and, uh, you can't.

You have to say certain things
and be a certain way,

and if you take it
too far too soon, then...

You know, but
it's all in the service

of getting to know them,

so I don't see
why you can't...

No, no. We going to talk
about, what, Margaret again?

We're going to
talk about...

Margaret? What?
Iris. Iris.

Iris. Yo, yo.

Okay. We're going to
talk about Iris again.

No, I'm not.
What do you mean, "again"?

No, no, no.
Keep going.

This is
very interesting.

- Oh, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting you?
- No, no, no.

Are you working
right now or what?

I come to you,
telling you

about my fucking great
porno idea,

and you're over here talking
about some random woman

you ain't going to
never talk to again.

No. It's not...

It felt like there was
something there,

which I don't feel like happens
every time I meet someone.

- You know what I mean?
- Sure.

And I didn't get her last name
and, uh, now she's gone.

So, that's pretty classic me.

You could try to, uh,
stop bitching for a bit.

Have you
thought about that?

Did you try,
uh, not complaining?

How did that go
for you?

You good? Like, because
I wouldn't want you

to accidentally start working...

...someone helping out
with this shit.

It doesn't matter, ultimately.
That's what I'm saying.

Because even if
I found her, you know,

we did this weird
oversharing thing...

You got to stop this.

You got to beating up on
yourself like this, okay?

'Cause you are handsome
and funny.

- You got really pretty eyes.
- All right.

You are good at

whatever the fuck
you're doing over there.

Come do a porno with me,
all right?

We would be
so good at it!

I am not. I can't believe
that's where that was going.

- We would be so good!
- It's not going to happen.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm not... Why am I hearing
the sound of yimmer-yammering

when I'm supposed to be hearing
the sound of hammering?

I don't understand.
I just don't get it.

Gentlemen,

you got to let me help you
so you can help me.

All right? What have I told you
guys about talking on the job?

Not to, all right?

Three reasons: number one,
I'm losing money.

Number two,
you're losing money.

And number three,
the powers that be...

They're sucking the information

right out of your brain
when you're not focused.

You think I'm joking?
Check your phone.

Every time you go on that phone,
they're vacuuming your brain.

So, I need you to be focused.
Okay, guys?

- Yep.
- You got that?

- Yep.
- Hey, Simon?

You missed a spot.
You? Keep stirring paint.

Yeah, yeah.

- What are you looking at?
- Well, it's break time, man.

Yeah.

- It's time to...
- No, no. You fail to understand.

I came over here
to break your balls

because
you weren't working.

So, break time?
I don't think so.

Iris, Iris?

Iris?

Hello?

Come here, Iris.

Can you figure out

if your work can do
a social donation?

...budget plans.
So, come over.

No, she's too...
Dad, she's too busy.

She's thinking about Stanley.

Stanley?

I mean, Steven. I mean...

What?

It's Simon!

Right. I was right.
Simon. It's Simon, Mom.

It's Simon and I'm never going
to see him again, okay?

Simon and she's probably
going to see him again.

No, no, no, Ma.

We just had a drink that one
time and that's it, okay?

Fine. Okay, okay, okay.
What do you want me to do?

You can handle
the budget.

Tell me.

Nurse?

...music... boyfriend...

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

Just give me the list
and I'll do it.

Yeah, sure. Yeah.

No, no. I'll do it.
I have my own stuff at work.

Okay, Ma? I'll do it.
I won't mess it up.

Do you promise?

Yep. I promise.

You're going to do it...

Give her a chance.

Yes, ma.
Simon says give her a chance.

Simon?

No.

Is that what you want?

No. We are not letting Simon
touch this.

You are going to do the budget.

I will not
see him again, okay?

So, I will fix this.

I don't want you to make
the same mistake.

- I'm telling you.
- I won't.

Oh. It's Justin.

- Can you get it, please?
- Thank you.

Oh. Justin.

Hey.

- Hey.
- Hi, hon.

Hey, hey.
Sorry I'm late.

Hope you guys didn't get
too far without me.

No. Did the car start?

It did, eventually.

Good.

Good. You're here.

Yeah, thanks.
It's good to see you.

Hi.

How far did you get?
Did you get to the budget yet?

Um, Iris is going to do
the budget.

Cool. Well, maybe
we could do it together,

'cause I was
kind of hoping

I could actually have
a hand in that.

- Oh, that's good. Yeah. Great idea.
- Yes, yes. Do it together.

Okay. Maybe you could
just, like, meet and stuff?

- Hi. How are you?
- It'll be easier that way.

- Good to see you again.
- You, too.

- Okay.
- Hi.

- Oh, okay.
- Go ahead.

- Yeah, I do.
- Where are you going?

I'm going to go get some food.
Is that okay?

Oh. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's fine.

- You'll be okay here?
- I'm fine.

- Okay. Iris, can you drive?
- Take care.

I'm going to get you
to grab me

some barbecued chicken,
spicy.

And, uh, I don't need
nothing to drink.

Just come in
and get it yourself.

No, no, no.
I'm got to go park the car.

We have, like,
12 minutes.

Exactly. So, if you could get
the food, that'd be awesome.

You're just going to
sit here and smoke?

No, I'm not just going to
sit here and smoke, okay?

Come on. Hurry up.

Okay.
So, I'm going to get the number seven,

the barbecued pork sandwich,
and...

Iris?

And what do you want,
a number 11?

I don't know.
Is that what you want?

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Iris, what do you want?

Just pick one.

- Hi.
- Hi.

This is...

Well, what are you
doing here?

Uh, I'm just on a break,
actually, from work.

I need to get back. But, uh...

That's so funny.

Yeah. We probably should've
known this was going to happen.

Ah, it's Winnipeg,
right?

Winnipeg, yeah.

Yeah.
You were literally...

Yeah. I was just literally
thinking about the other night.

So, that was...

Oh, crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. Me, too. I was,
uh, thinking about you.

Uh,

do you, uh...

Can I give you
my number?

Just if, like...

- I mean...
- Or should we, like...

I don't know.

Did we go too far?
I would get it.

'Cause we did. We put...
I put a lot out there,

and if I heard all that
from someone

- maybe I would not like them.
- No, no, no.

I would understand
if you hate me.

I'm very hateable.
It's my superpower.

No. I mean, we're here now,

so I guess
it cancels it out.

So...

Okay, yeah. No.

Yeah? Okay.

Yes. I would...
That would be...

- That's a...
- Here.

So, you can just, like, call me,
and then...

Cool.

I think it'll ring

in three, two...

There you go.

Yep. There it is.

- Hello?
- Hi.

- Yeah.
- It's good.

- Well?
- It's working.

I guess I'll talk to you
in a bit.

Yeah. Whenever, or never, or...
Yeah, sure.

- Okay.
- Great.

Oh, I knew it!

What?
It's legal now.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- Come on in.
- Thanks.

- How you doing?
- Good.

That's good.

So, you got something?

Oh, yeah.
Launch right in to it.

Okay. Let's hear it.

This is sort of a, uh,
kind of folk vibe.

Let me know
if you know it.

♪ There is a house
in New Orleans ♪

Really?

♪ They call the rising sun ♪

That's, like, the first
thing you find on Google.

- What?
- Yeah.

♪ It's been the ruin of... ♪

All right.
I was prepared for that.

Also got this.
Kind of a death-metal vibe.

♪ There is a house ♪

I was really hoping you
wouldn't play that, but yeah.

- You know it?
- Yeah. Found that one.

I am so relieved.
Did not want to listen to that.

All right, all right.
This is good.

This is a bit of a challenge.

I also have this.
Sort of a...

♪ It's
the house of the, say, yeah ♪

Where'd you find this one?

Okay. Yeah. I'm just
going to tell you.

♪ Say, love, it's the house

- Huh.

Interesting.

Look forward to seeing
what you got.

Do you want a drink?

- Yeah, sure.

Joni is a national treasure.

Yeah.

Oh.

♪ Find me where to work,
it's all work and no Play-Doh ♪

Well, don't stop here. I have
an entire apartment of things

just waiting
to be judged by you.

Okay. Let's see.

You've got some more tapes,

CDs and this thing.

What is this thing?

It looks like it's
about to fall.

That thing is
a weird bowl, obviously.

And it's intentionally
placed that way

so that when the world
tilts out of balance

I will have
advance warning.

Obviously.

Is that yours?

Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.
It's real.

Yeah, yeah. I know.
It's not just a prop.

Whoa.

Can I?

First time in the apartment.
Just straight to the bass, huh?

I don't know
a lot of people

that have
their own upright bass.

Fair enough.

Do you play it?

I play, like, uh,
two notes pretty well.

That's pretty good.
Let's hear it.

Oh, yeah. No, no.

Not, like, on request
or anything like that.

It's not
a solo instrument.

You play the bass with
other people and it, uh,

connects you in a deeper,
almost spiritual way.

Sort of, like, uh...

Two notes.

What? Do you play?

I'm a singer, yeah.

I play guitar,
but I don't play bass.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I've always wanted to,
you know,

play shows on my own,
and...

Well, then, I am definitely not
playing this thing for you.

- Oh, come on. Two notes. That's pretty good.
- Two notes, yeah.

When I'm at, like,
10 to 15 notes,

then I'm going to leave you
with your own personal solo.

No, but...

But no, no, I can't.
I can't. I can't.

Come on.
It's two notes.

Do you hear that?

Snowplow.

Let's go.

Oh, there he is.

There he is.

You got to watch this, 'cause
what I love about this guy

is that some guys
are just clearing snow,

but you can tell that
this guy loves what he's doing.

- Mm-hmm?
- Yeah, okay.

- Hold on.
- What?

Well, he's going to do,
like, a 360 little move.

Just watch.

Yeah. Artistry.

Ooh.

Just so you know, we're
not having sex tonight.

Which means that we are
on another night?

But you didn't?

Yeah, but we will.

When?

Yeah. I don't know.

Like, at some point
in the future, I guess.

But, like, I can't believe how
good it is when we're together.

Like, she's just so playful...

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Totally get it. Come on.

...and just so willing
to jump into stuff,

and we just, like, absolutely...

Look. Your story
is amazing. Seriously.

I'm so enthralled by it.
But right now, save my life.

Yeah, okay.

Oof. Okay. All right.
That was okay.

That was close.
Maybe a little lower.

Yeah. All right.
Again?

It's just, like, I have not been
in this situation before

where I don't know what
she really wants, ultimately.

And it's just... I wouldn't
blame her if she thinks...

Shh, shh. Look at me.
Look at me.

You're beautiful.
You're what every man wants.

Now give me
the Heimlich, okay?

And... Oof. Okay.
I deserved that.

Yeah. I'm just going to break
a rib or something like that.

Show me how it's done,
and then...

All right. Ready?

I guess, yeah.

Ooh!
I can't tell if that's working.

I need it to work,
all right?

What happened?

I went to the porno
the other day, right?

Oh, my God. You actually
went through with it?

- I went through with it.
- What was it like?

It was weird.
It was weird as fuck, man.

You...

And what'd they
make you do?

I don't want to talk about
the porn, man.

What I want to talk to you
about is

I go to
the craft services table, right?

I'm just eating some food,
and this dude comes next to me

and he starts
fucking choking, man.

He chokes
and he falls to the ground

and I'm sitting there
looking at him, and I just...

I froze.

Right.

And that
could have been you.

That could've been you
sitting there.

And you're choking and
I'm sitting there freezing,

and what if
nobody comes, right?

So, what?
He just kept choking?

No, man. Someone came
and saved him eventually.

It just wasn't me,
right? And I just...

I don't want to be
the guy

that's remembered
for standing next to

the person who died,
you know?

Okay. I don't think
I'm going to choke, man.

This isn't a porno set.

Just trust me.

- Oh! We're not doing that again.
- You okay?

Okay.
Well, come to...

Let's take a class.
You and me.

I'm not going to do that.
It's not going to happen.

What if I'm the one? What if
I'm sitting on the floor, huh?

Well, I'm never going to be
on the porno s...

- Hey.
- Hey.

Yeah.
Sorry I'm late.

Just got a little bit
of time, break from work.

Yeah? Cool.

Uh, what do you got
so far?

I'm just looking at how much
the hall actually costs.

Which? Which one?

Petrus. I think
Agnes mentioned that...

Yeah.
That was one of them.

There was a few others,
too, though.

But have you done
anything, like...

Uh, yeah.

...planning-for-the-budget
wise?

Mmm, yes. I did create,
like, a chart.

Okay. I'm just going to
come over there.

Okay. Uh, what's this?

Agnes left you a folder just so
you have something to look over.

Oh, okay. Great.
Cool.

And, uh, is this
the same thing here?

Yep, should be about the same.

Okay, okay.

So, uh, tell me about this
Petrus Hall, I guess.

Yeah.
It's really huge.

Have you,
besides this,

have you, like,
looked at anything?

Is there anything else
that we've, like...

Well, I tried to look at
other stuff,

but this is the hall
that she really wants to use.

Okay. Here. I'm just
going to grab this.

Okay. And you have
the DJ filled out already?

Oh, yeah. I talked to a friend,
and I'm pretty sure

I can get him for $500,
so I just put it in there.

- You're pretty sure?
- Yeah, pretty sure.

Okay. Well, if we go with
a DJ, that's good to know.

I really appreciate that.
That's awesome.

Oh, well, thanks.

Uh, can I just say something?

I really feel
uncomfortable

when you get really close
and start to touch me.

Uh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
anything by it.

I'm just being friendly.
I'm sorry.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fine.

- No, no. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
- Yeah. Sorry.

I'm just, like, you're going to
be my sister-in-law.

I just, you know...
Sorry. I just...

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, sorry.

No, no. It's all good.
It's all good.

- Um, really appreciate the DJ.
- Yeah.

That's gonna be awesome. If you
could contact Petrus Hall,

I gotta get back to work.

- So, is that cool?
- Yep.

Great. Awesome.
Thank you so much.

The theme of the social
is going to be Hollywood.

Ooh, Hollywood? Woo!

Yeah, like red carpet.

Justin's friends
want to do live karaoke.

They suggested that.

Oh, no, no, no, Papa.
There you go again.

No.
You can't just do that.

No, Mom.
You should hear Justin sing.

Yeah. His voice is so...
It's so honest.

Ugh.

Iris...

What's your problem?

Something's wrong?

Oh, no, no. Sorry.

Oh, no, no. I heard you.

Nothing, nothing.
I'm sorry.

I just... I got to go.

Uh, you know,
Iris,

we're busy here, okay?

I just heard you.

What's that?

Nothing.

You never help us here.

But something's wrong.

Here, Mom.

Iris...

See? We're so busy here
talking about...

but you still have
this attitude.

Speak up.

Speak up.

It's nothing, Ma.
It's nothing. Sorry.

Sorry.
I just have to be somewhere.

I'm sorry.

No. We are talking
about your...

Iris!

Why do you always
have to be like this?

Me? You should ask Mom
why she's always such a bitch.

Oh, so you
throwing all the attitude

wasn't you
being a bitch?

She's always picking on me.
It's always me, right?

Yeah, because you're
the one with the problem.

I do not have a problem,
for fuck's sake.

What is wrong?

Does it ever
fucking bother you

how Justin is so touchy
with every girl he meets?

No.

That's just him.

Of course.

Iris, you know, just because
you had a failed relationship

doesn't mean you have to
take it out on mine.

We're all happy here,

and you're the only one
that's upset

that all of this
is happening.

You know what?
Forget it.

Thanks a lot,
Agnes.

Somewhere right around here.

So, in such a way
that the angle is

sort of like right into
there, the corner pocket.

So, you kind of back it up
and, uh...

Iris.

What are you doing?

What did you tell Agnes

about what happened
the other day?

- What do you mean?
- What did you tell her?

I just told her how I didn't
feel comfortable about,

well,
how close you get...

Okay, but did you
tell her about

how we were
cool afterwards?

How it was
a misunderstanding?

- No, I didn't.
- Why not?

Because that's
how we left things,

and then you tell her that
I was being inappropriate?

I didn't... She told me
it was... Like, she understood.

Like, I thought that
I just left it off that way.

I didn't think it was
such a big deal.

No. It's apparently
a bigger deal

than you thought
it was.

She said it was fine.

I don't know if that's actually
what you told her or not, okay?

No. I told her exactly
what I thought.

- That we had...
- I didn't exactly have...

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's up?

Oh, yeah. This is Justin,
my brother-in-law.

- Hey.
- Simon.

Brother-in-law.

Hey.

He's my boyfriend.

Cool.

Good to meet you.

Yeah. Good to meet you,
too.

Well, uh,

don't let me interrupt.

Um, cool.

Yeah. Thanks.

You okay?

Yeah. Just...

So, uh, boyfriend?

Yeah.

It kind of just slipped out.
Sorry.

Oh. It's just...

From over there, I was
looking at the two of you

and it kind of
looked like, um...

He was my boyfriend?

Where I was standing, it kind of
looked like he could've been.

Oh, God, no.

Okay. Uh, I was...
Too good to be true.

Really?

Yeah.

So, um,

that means, uh...

What?

Uh, hold on.
Hold on. Hold on.

I just need to tell you
something quick.

Okay.

Like, I need to...

Oh, like, you want to...

- Yeah.
- Yeah, okay.

Okay. Sorry.

Okay.

I used to be married.

Like, years ago.

It lasted, like, nine months
and then he left.

Uh, whoa.

Yeah.

Um, are you still married?

Oh, no, no, no.
Not anymore.

Not at all.
That's done.

Okay, and that's, like,
behind you and everything?

Yes.

I mean, at this point,
you could have said something

a lot worse
than that.

So, if you're okay,
I'm okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Although, like, um,

if that's the conversation
we're having,

I mean,
I should tell you that

I've been with
more than one person.

I've been with,
like, 30 people.

Okay.

Okay.

Man, your eyes look weird
upside down.

Your eyes look weird
upside down.

So, you, uh...

...you didn't come there, hey?

No. It's a thing.

Right.

So, like, exactly 30?

Or...

Okay. You know
what you're doing?

I kind of know
what I'm doing.

You kind of know
what you're doing?

This is an important skill
to learn, and I'm trying...

Oh, my God.
Okay.

And this goes here,
and then you're choking,

and it's kind of
like a...-

Ooh.

Oh, I see what you're
trying to do here, buddy.

What's wrong?
What am I trying to do?

Ah.

You don't seem to care
about it.

Yeah, 'cause I'm
a private person. No.

I definitely don't care, you've
absolutely got that right.

You don't care
about me.

No. It's not that
I don't care about you.

I'm going to give you this.

Really?
What is this?

Just a little
day-brightener.

Really?
Joni?

Yeah, Joni.

I have a surprise.

Hmm.

Just a little mixtape
for you.

Wait a second.
Did you make this?

Whoa!

Is this
what I think it is?

Oh, my God!
This is so cute.

A new
bullshit planner.

You remembered.

I remembered, yeah.

What the fuck do you mean,
you're in love?

Like, it's been going good
and the feeling is growing

and now when she's not around, I
think I'm in love.

Well, how do you know it's love?
Are you sure it's love?

Are you sure
it's not something else?

What else would it be?

Maybe it's a different emotion.

Maybe you're really angry.

You know, those parts
in your brain

are actually really
close together: love, anger.

- People get confused all the time.
- No, man.

It's...
That's what it is.

That's dramatic.
Nobody is in love anymore.

You know who's in love?
15-year-old girls.

That's who falls in love.

No, man.

I think I want us to move
in together. I don't know.

You're just going
to say...

But you barely know this.
You're going to say it?

You're just going to
come out and say,

- "Let's move in together"?
- Well, I agree that's what I need to figure out, but...

How ridiculous
does that sound?

Whoa, whoa.
You're trying to

bring them back to life,
not kill them.

If you do it faster, they
come back to life faster.

Everybody knows this.

100% not a thing.

So, you think
I'm moving too fast?

I think you're moving
way too fast.

- You think I need to take time?
- Yes.

I'll take time.
I'll leave the city.

- Yes.
- Go on a trip.

Yes! Leave the city.

Go on a trip. Go...
We could do a road trip.

Do you want to go on
a road trip?

Not us. We're not both
going to do it.

What, you don't want to
hang out with me?

We spend a lot of time
together and also,

I think what we're
talking about right now

is me spending time
to myself

trying to figure out
what it is I want

and giving her the space
to figure out what she wants,

and then coming back at it
with some intention.

I think
it's a good idea.

Yeah, it's a good idea.

It's not a bad idea.

It's a good
fucking idea.

This thing is not
fucking working for me.

Yeah.
I don't want to use these, okay?

Just get rid of this,
quick.

What are you doing?

Shh, shh. Just do it on me.
Just do it on me.

No. I'm not going to
do it on you.

Come on. Just give me this.

'Cause you're
just going to, um...

No, come on. Just...

This is an actual class
that you wanted to go to.

You're going to get us
kicked out.

- We're not going to get kicked out.
- Yeah, we are.

We're going to get extra credit.

We're supposed to be using
a mask and a mannequin.

Exactly.
A mannequin, okay?

A mannequin is not going to be
dying on the street.

I'm not going to do this
right now with you, okay?

You're a fucking coward.
You're being a coward.

- I dare you.
- I'm not being a coward.

- Oh, my God.
- Do it. Do it. Come on.

Just shut up. Just shut up.
Shh. Okay. 30.

Ready?

Open the airway.

Let's take
the mask off the face.

Do you have an erection
right now?

No.

You do, though.
Oh, my God.

It's not...

It's not for you.

Don't flatter yourself.

Hey. Keep going, everybody.

You must have a boarding
pass and photo ID before entering...

Boo.

Um, I... All right.

Hi.

- Where's mine?
- Thanks for, uh...

Well, I didn't know
if you wanted to start

as early as I have.

So, welcome to here.

Is this one of your spots
to just chill, or...

Uh, no. Not actually.

No. This is all sort of
out of the blue for me.

Is that yours?

Yep.

Oh.

I'll just jump into it.
I'm going on a trip.

Today.

Oh.

- Which is...
- Today, today.

Yeah, as spontaneous
as it sounds.

- But I...
- Hmm.

I want you to,
you know,

And you want me
to go with you?

Cool.
I brought my passport.

Crazy. Uh...

I mean, I figured,
"Meet at the airport"...

I just thought,
in case...

Oh, man. Um...

Sorry. I, uh,

bought a ticket

to go on a trip, like,

just, like, on my own.

You're kidding.

I'm sorry. I...
No, no. I...

- No. You're kidding.
- I really did not...

Yeah, I'm sorry.
No. I just...

You're not kidding.
Holy.

Let me start again.

I love what's going on
between you and I,

and this is part of that.
This is...

I feel seriously
about this.

Simon, if you need to break up
with me you can just do it.

Whoa!
That is, so, so far.

Please don't think that.

If I've said anything
that makes you think that,

forget it.

What? You're going
on a trip. You're not...

Look. Here's the thing.
I'll eat my ticket.

I'll literally eat my ticket
if you don't want me to go

because you think it's...
I just think

if we do this... And I know
it's a crazy choice,

but it'll be
this opportunity for us

to make this into
something more intentional.

So, it's like stretching
our wings, right?

It's like sowing
the wild oats

and then coming back
to something

that we really understand
and have perspective on.

But wouldn't that
just poison everything?

Wouldn't that just...

I don't think it will.

But it'd be worth knowing,
no matter what, right?

Will anything that I say
make a difference at all, or...

Like, do I get to
say anything?

Absolutely, absolutely.
Because...

- 'Cause...
- Yes, you absolutely have a say

if you want.

Okay.

I mean, you and I
are the most important...

- Yeah. Just give me a...
- Yeah.

Let me think
about this.

You're going to...

Okay, yep.
Take five on that.

It's a wild choice.

So, let's do it.

What else
did he say?

He said that
he just needed to go,

and we needed to sow
our wild oats or something.

Who says that?

Simon.

Why? What did you do?
Did you do something?

No. Like, it was just...
Everything was going fine.

I don't know.

Maybe he's just afraid that
it was getting too real.

So, what?
Then you came home after?

Yeah. I just came home
and I let him go.

And then,
I don't know...

You literally stood there
in the airport like a idiot

as he left you?

Yeah.

Do you not see what's,
like, wrong there?

I'm just going to wait.

I mean, two weeks is
not that long, right?

Did he say something
to you?

Text you when he landed
or anything?

No. I think it's, like,
a "break" break.

I don't hear from him

- for two weeks.
- Are you kidding me?

No, Iris.

I just...
I can't do it.

Stop setting yourself up
to get so hurt.

Well, I can't do anything.
He's gone.

I just have to wait
and that's all I can do.

No, you don't.

You went from one big
relationship that you, like,

committed to so hard,
and then...

Yes. I get it, okay?

You don't have to
bring it up every time.

Mom is still
getting over it.

Okay. We...
Yeah. I know that.

This is, like,
Chapter 2.

You can't
just be jumping

from one relationship
to another

and, like,
sleep with two people

your whole entire life.

I think you need to
go through, like,

a phase.

Like,
see other people?

No. I think you need to
ho around for a little bit.

Oh.

There's, like,
a reset button

at the back of
your vagina,

and I think you need to,
like...

No.

I am not going to
go through that.

No.
I don't need that.

Yes. Yes, you do.

Honestly,
when I did it,

- it was just like...
- You went through a phase? Wow.

Yeah. I went through a phase
and I loved my phase.

And then I met Justin,
and now my phase is done.

Like, go have fun.

It's fun.

You don't have to
worry about anything

or hurting anybody's feelings
or having your feelings hurt.

It's just you and
a bunch of cute dudes.

No.

- Yes.
- No!

Yes.
Give me your phone.

- No.
- Give me your phone.

Iris...

- What are you going to do?
- Nothing.

Give me your phone.

- Oh, my God. Can you...
- Stop.

You cannot seriously
be downloading my...

Yes.

Oh, my God. You're
actually going to do it.

You know what? If something
bad happens to me,

- I'm going to blame you.
- Nothing bad is going to happen to you.

I'm trying to become
a podcaster, you know?

And just, like...

Like talking about music?
Or what kind?

Uh, you know,
I'm looking more at, like,

trying to, like,
document the internet.

I mean, the internet is kind
of a broad subject, but...

Right? Smile?

It's, like,
I got a couple of buds

and we're just going to, like,
you know, kind of, like, chat,

and it's going to be, like,
just a nice, cool podcast.

I don't know.

Uh-huh.

So, like, you looking
for anything, like,

casual
or whatever?

What do you mean?

Show me your tits.

Ew.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Hello.
- I like your face.

Thank you... I guess.

What area of the city
do you live in?

I live somewhere
in The Maples.

Oh, nice.
That's close to me.

Hey, you want to
come over sometime?

Maybe we should
talk first...

Oh, cool. Yeah, yeah.
We can talk.

We can talk.

Yeah. Tell me something
more about yourself.

Oh, you know, uh,
I like to dance.

Hey, do you have
naked pictures?

I notice that you say
you're a hunter.

I was just curious
what that meant.

Uh, it means, like,
I shoot animals.

And then what do you do?
Like...

Usually, I just skin it

and cook it up
and eat it.

So, you, like,
you gut it and...

Yeah.

- So, you see all the blood, and...
- Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Hey.

- Hey.
- What's up?

Not much.

I promise that
I'm not a dog face.

My profile pic
is just my dog.

- Aw.
- I have a human face.

Yes. That is...
Yes.

That's, uh, my dog,
Bailey, though,

- in the pic, yeah.
- Yeah, I figured.

- He's very cute.
- Thank you. Thank you. You like dogs?

- I do. I love dogs.
- Nice.

- He's not at my apartment right now.
- Aw.

Yeah.
He's with my parents.

I like to let him
go out to the country

every couple of weeks

and just, you know, run around.

It's not... I don't
think it's right

for a dog to spend its whole
life in the city, so...

- Yeah.
- ...just give it a break.

Thoughtful of you.

Thank you.

Just a sec.

Okay.

That's never happened
to me before.

No, it's okay. Um...

But, uh, ready to go.

Ready to go.

Yeah. Actually, I was
just going to put my pants on,

and I was going to go.

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry, because it's...

I just feel it's, like, not
fair to you that...

- Oh, no, no, no!
- You know?

It's okay. Like, I...

Because you didn't
finish, either, so...

Yeah. It's a...
It's fine.

You don't believe
that I can do this.

- No, no! I do!
- But I can do this.

I swear to God, I can do this.

If I can do one thing in
life, it's this sex thing.

And...

I... I get that.

I'm okay. Thank you.

Thank you, though. Really.

I proved to myself that
I can do it in there.

I wish you saw it,
because it was amazing.

It was beautiful, and I
want to show it to you now.

- Okay.
- TMI. First date.

Here's the thing.

I really didn't expect

for this to go so far...

- Yeah.
- ...so soon.

Uh, I just really
went on a dating app

because my sister
told me to.

- Okay.
- Uh, I...

Is your sister cool?

She's getting
married.

You see, my boyfriend
left, and I... I thought

that this would really
help me get over it.

Uh, my sister thinks that
there's a reset button

at the back
of my vagina,

but I... I guess
there's not.

So... Yeah.

That's like a metaphor.

I... Yes, I know.

Oh, God.

Just go on another one!
It'll be fine!

I do not want to
go on another one.

I'm just going to
wait for Simon.

Uh, what?

Maybe that's
what Simon meant

when he said to sow the
wild oats, you know?

Because now, I just
know that he's the one

- that I want, so...
- No, that's not what he meant.

Well, I'm not going
to do it again, Agnes.

You did not
sow your wild oats!

You sowed one oat.

You had one, okay?
So, go on another one!

- No!
- Ah, frick, Iris.

- I just don't want to.
- I can't believe

you did not put the keys in
your frickin' pocket!

- You got me.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hello.
- That's good. Hi.

Hi.

Ho, it's easy to forget how
cold this city is!

Did
you miss it?

No, I didn't
miss it, per se.

- Mm.
- Missed you.

Hey, you didn't get any of
my text messages, eh?

No. Just... I just got
them all right now.

- Ho, that's bad.
- I know.

- But...
- You got mine?

Yeah, all at once. I thought
my phone was going to blow up.

Sorry.

Yeah. No.
I'm sorry, too.

Um, actually,
I'm...

I'm really sorry, because
that trip kind of was

what I thought
it was going to be,

and... and I had a lot
of time to think, but...

I had a lot
of time to think,

and, uh, one of
the things I realized...

- It's right here.
- ...was, uh...

that maybe it seemed
like a good idea,

but it was
a selfish idea.

And... I'm embarrassed

that I even
went through with it,

and I'm sorry
about that.

It's okay.

You're here now.

Thank you for
being cool.

Get in, then.

But the other thing that
I realized was, um...

Or... Sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh...

Uh, before you
take off...

When I was down there
and, uh,

I had all that
space that you were...

- Yeah.
- ...good enough to give me.

You probably sowed
your wild oats

and slept with a
whole bunch of women,

so now, we got
to talk about it.

What? No.

No. That's not at all what
I meant when I said that.

Is that what you
thought I was doing?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.

No, no, no. I didn't
mean that at all.

I meant to...

Geez. Yeah. No.

I was, like, alone
the whole time

and I was... I was
thinking about you.

And I was thinking about all
the stuff that I...

...that I already
knew before I left.

And that's that...
you know...

uh...

I love you and...

I want to move
in together.

And... that's it.

I had a... a whole thing that
I was going to say,

and now, I can't
remember it at all.

Right.

And... and take your time,
but just know that I...

can't breathe
right now, so...

Right.

Yeah!

- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.

That doesn't seem
crazy to you? That's...

No! No.

Yeah. Yeah, it is, but...

But no. Yeah. I would
love to move in with you.

Okay.

God, you took two weeks
to figure that out?

Geez.

Moving in together?

Yeah. I've decided to
move in with Simon.

What?

Do... do you
know this guy?

Ma, it's been a while.
We've been dating a while.

"It's been a while." You
would say that?

A while, Iris?

Arthur! Arthur...

Talk to your daughter.

We're so busy with the social,
and here goes your daughter

saying she's moving with
Simon. I don't even know...

Do you know Simon?

Who's Simon? No.

Ma.

What will they say?
What will our friends say?

We're Catholic.

I am 23, and...

Twenty-three!

...before, when you
got married with this Bong,

and then you got
this divorce.

Oh, my God!

...relatives and friends.

- But Ma, I was 19.
- What do you say about this?

I didn't know what I was...

This is not
the right time.

Okay? This is going too far.

Nope, nope, nope.

I forbid you
for doing this.

Nope.

...moving, moving. Nothing.

She's going to do
it anyway, Mom.

I know!

You're being quiet.

I have seen your heart.

I know. That's it.

You've decided.

Do you think you're
doing it right?

If you think you're
doing it right,

I'm out of this.
We're done.

Got it?

Yep.

Uh, let's just
bring everything in here,

and then we'll do
it in here.

Okay.

That is one trip, one trip.

- No problem.
- Okay.

Did you talk to your
parents about all this?

- Oh. Yeah.
- Yeah?

- Yeah.
- And they're cool with it, or...

Um...

What is this thing?

What do you mean? It's
an ironing board.

Your shirt's inside out.

- Yes, it is.
- Okay.

I get to wear
it twice like this.

Okay. Hold
on. Hold on.

Oh, God. Uh, do
you always

wear your shoes
inside the house?

Uh, not all
the time.

I take them
off to shower.

Good. Uh...

- Do you want me to take them off?
- Yes, please,

because it's going
to be a thing.

- I don't want to start a thing.
- Thank you.

But how do
you... know?

Please. Watch.

Clean.

Also clean.

Okay.

What are you
doing in there?

Laundry basket?

- What's that for?
- It'll just live there,

and you don't have to
ask about it ever again.

Banana sauce?

It's ketchup.

No, it's
banana sauce.

What? Do you
put this on bananas,

or is it made with bananas?

It's ketchup.

It's got
bananas in it.

Oh.

Uh, we're going to
have to go shopping.

- What?
- Yeah.

I have
so much food.

No! There's not enough.
What if people come over?

Well, what if people come over
and they don't want to eat?

Well, they're going
to eat anyway,

because you
serve them food.

Where did
the sauce go?

Up there.

I think that
clears this box.

Wow. We did it.

Awesome.

Superstar.

Okay. So...

I would love for you to
meet my family on Saturday.

It's Agnes's
social. It's...

- Right.
- It's this Saturday,

and I think it would be great
if you would could come.

- I would love to.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

I think
that's it.

- Yay.
- We're done.

Yes.

Now what?

Play that bass.

No.

Aw. You know you can't
escape me anymore.

No, no,
no, no, no.

You are not yet ready,

and by "you," I mean
me and the bass.

I live
here now, so...

Some other time.

- Boo!
- I have something better,

actually, if
you'll follow me.

- Just over here.
- Okay.

Roomie.

What is that
supposed to be?

That is, uh,
supposed to be

your face
on a cake...

- Oh, no.
- ...which I know

you've always
wanted.

It was... I
did a sketch,

and then I thought I could put
the sketch on a cake.

And so I got someone
else to do it, and it...

- Ah. Sure.
- ...uh, it turned into that...

- Blame it on the artist.
- ...which is, in my defence,

not actually what I drew.

But, uh, it still
might be fun to eat.

It's so awful!

Yeah, it's
a little scary,

but that's why we got
to get rid of the evidence.

But it... You know,
it only lasts

as long as it takes
us to eat this, so...

Eat.

- You alright?
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

Hey, whoa.

Hey.

I can't do this. I
can't do this to you.

I can't do
this to you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

For what?
You're freaking me out.

No, no.

- Are you okay?
- No.

I slept with
someone else...

while you were gone.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I just wanted
you here, but...

but I thought I'd
lost you, so...

No, please
say something.

You wait until now
to tell me?

I...

Well, you got home,

and then you... you
told me you loved me.

And it's all I ever
wanted, and I...

I couldn't...

Right.

When were you
going to tell me?

Because you've
already moved in,

so that's...
fucking great.

- That's good.
- I... They were going to...

So, just the moment
I left, you just thought

that that would be prime
opportunity to do that, or what?

No, no! You told me to
sow my wild oats,

- and so I did. It's...
- That's not what that means!

Of course it is!
How could you not know?

How is that what that means
in... in that context?

It means "take what you have
and go out in the world,"

not "just fuck a bunch
of guys the second I'm gone!"

It was just...

I didn't know,
okay? I'm sorry.

Yeah, you didn't
know. You just heard

whatever you needed to
hear in that moment,

which is...

But you
left, Simon.

You asked
for a break.

- No! I... That's not what I said.
- You asked for a break!

- And you know...
- That's not what I said at all!

Yes, it was, and
you know what?

That's what people say when they
never want to come back, okay?

That's what fucking Bong said,
so of course I was going

to think I was never
going to have you back!

What are you talking about?
Well, that's not me!

It's just you. It's just you
on your own with that decision!

Oh, you destroyed this.

No. I didn't mean to.

I didn't know, okay?

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

Simon, wait.

I... I...

I would do
anything, anything,

just to take back
everything that I did

and make this
all okay.

So can you come back and
work this out, please?

Simon?

Simon?

Yo, Simon. I was just
shaving. What's up?

Hey. Uh, it's actually Iris.

- Who?
- Hey.

Why are you... Hold up. What are
you doing with Simon's phone?

- Who is this?
- It's Iris.

Uh, Simon's girlfriend?

Oh, okay.

Why you got
Simon's phone?

Where's Simon?

Uh, yeah. I was actually
going to ask you

if you knew where he was.

Uh, no, no.

He hasn't... he hasn't
texted me. Why?

Mm. Okay.

I just wanted to ask,
because he... uh... he...

left, so...

Uh, what do you
want from me?

He's not with
you, huh?

No, he's not.

Is that all you
need? Are we done?

Actually, uh, do you know
where his parents live at all?

Like, their
address or...

No. I don't know. They
live in one of those

fucking Mennonite... Uh,
Morden. Morden.

That's the name of
the town, right?

No. What... Why are you asking
me where his parents live?

Why? That's none of your
fucking business.

- But it's...
- Stop freaking out about all...

Simon just leaves
sometimes, alright?

He just leaves.
Just leave it alone.

Do you know exactly where in
Morden he lives, or...

No, I don't know where
in Morden his parents live.

I don't think you should be
asking those questions.

Ugh. Whatever.

Hey. Uh...

How are you? I haven't
seen you in so long.

Hi! Nice to see you!
How've you been?

Good. Are you guys
just helping out

with the stuff for
the social?

Hi, Iris.

Those look nice.

Can I have
two of those?

Mila, do you have enough?

Yeah. I do.

Hi, Pa.

Iris...

I was wondering if
I could borrow the car.

- Car?
- Yeah. I'm...

- Where are you doing?
- I'm going to Morden,

just to meet Simon's family,
and he's already there,

so I just need
to... get there.

Okay. Uh, before
I give you the keys,

come closer.

- Okay.
- Now...

let's forget about this for now.

You know what?

I just want you
to know,

your mom really loves
you, okay?

She only wants you to
be happy, okay?

- Okay.
- Yeah?

If Simon will be the
right guy for you

and you will
be happy...

Yes, Pa. Of course.

...Hundred percent...

Yeah? I'm going to
support you 100 percent.

- Okay.
- Hundred and one now. Okay?

Okay.

That's one percent more.

But be sure.

Mm-hmm.

Okay?

Don't put your family
through this...

- Yes, Pa.
- ...unless this is the right guy.

Okay?

Yes, Pa.

Remember that.

He might have
a library card,

but we are not allowed to give
out our patron information

because of the
Privacy Act.

Right.

Perhaps a...
phone book, maybe? Uh...

- Yeah.
- Yeah?

Yeah, we have a phone
book. For sure.

Okay!

Oh, wow.

That's a lot of Friesens.

There are a
few Friesens.

Excuse me!

Sorry. Uh, are you
from here?

No. I'm actually
from Winnipeg. Sorry.

Okay. Yeah. You didn't look
familiar. Are you, um...

- Yes.
- ...Filipino? Okay.

Filipino.

Um, you look lost.

Are you okay?
Do you need help?

Actually, I'm looking for
my boyfriend, Simon Friesen.

Uh, do you know him?

Everybody's Friesen here.

Yeah.

I don't know
if I know him,

but my daughter might
know him.

She knows everybody...

- Okay.
- ...I think.

Uh, I just live
around the corner.

Are you hungry?
You must be hungry.

Oh, no. I'm fine.
I actually, uh,

just grabbed
something to eat.

Oh, no. I'll give
you a snack. Ramon!

- Hey.
- I want you to meet somebody.

- Hi.
- And here.

- I brought you a surprise.
- Ooh! Thank you.

- This is Iris.
- Hi. Hi.

You can call me Ram.
How are you doing?

- Good.
- Good. You hungry?

- No. I'm okay, actually.
- Oh, come on.

- No, no, no, no, no.
- We'll give you a little bit.

Come on.
Just a little snack.

Jane, um, I found Iris
wandering around town.

She came all the way
from Winnipeg...

- Yeah.
- ...looking for somebody.

I told her that you
might know him.

- What's his name again?
- Uh, Simon. Simon Friesen.

- Mm-hmm.
- Simon Friesen.

Yeah. He lived
over there... a long time ago.

By the store?

No.

If we get in the car,
can you take us there?

Yeah.
I'd recognize it.

Okay.

That would be great.

Okay. Well, if you're going
to drive there,

you should know that nobody's
been there for a long time.

Uh... what do
you mean? Like...

Hey!

Do you... Excuse me!

You... Do you live here?

I live over there.

What's your name?

Allison.

I'm Iris.
What are you doing here?

Vaping.

I'm here to look
for Simon, Simon Friesen.

- Yeah?
- You wouldn't happen to know him,

- would you?
- I know him.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Uh, do you know if anybody
still lives there?

Do you know
if he's...

Simon and
his dad did.

Okay! Do you know if his
dad is still in there?

He died three
years ago.

Oh.

Okay.

He was a mess.

He was always yelling,
angry at Simon.

My parents wouldn't
even let me go over...

Um, this is Simon
Friesen, right?

- Yeah, Simon Friesen.
- Like, blue eyes, dark hair?

- That's... that's him?
- Yeah.

How did his dad die?

He died from drugs
and alcohol.

Simon stuck around to
take care of him, but...

And then he left?

And he just took
a bus to Winnipeg,

and nobody's
seen him since.

What about his mom? What
happened to his mom?

His mom left him when he
was, like... three.

Moved to BC,
I think.

That's what
they say.

- Hi.
- Oh! hi!

Hi.

How are you?

- Um, I'm good.
- Yeah?

- How about you?
- Good.

Are you leaving?

Yeah. Mom,
Iris is home!

Hi, Ma.

Do you need
anything?

No, no, no. Um,
can you just help Dad?

Oh, my God. He just can't
figure it out with the lights.

- Okay. I can do that. Yeah.
- Okay. Okay.

Just let me know if you
need anything else.

Are you sure you don't
want me to come with you?

No, no, no! It's okay!

You don't have to!

- Okay.
- Thank you!

Okay. You tell me if
you need anything.

- Yeah. Okay. I will.
- Okay. Okay.

- I'll see you later.
- Bye!

- Hi, Tita.
- Oh, hi!

Oh, Tita Baby and Tita
Edna, they're here.

They're making shanghai.

Oh, okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah!

Hi, sweetie.

How are you?

- I'm good.
- Yeah?

Yes. Oh. Hi, Tita.

Iris.

Do you need
help with any lights?

Oh, it's okay. Um...

- Yeah. No. I forgot. Sorry.
- Aw.

Here. I'll give you
the key, anyway.

- Sorry.
- Yeah.

The aunts are
being so weird.

Like, they're being
so nice to me.

Why is that?

I'll tell you
honestly.

Simon left you.

How did you guys...

A friend of
your Tita Flor, okay,

knows the family
in Morden.

Tita Flor told
us about it.

Why don't you see your
mom and apologize?

No, Pa!

I don't need to apologize to you
guys for the things that I do!

I'm so tired of
you guys telling me

that I'm always the
one that's fucking up!

- No, it's not!
- Pa!

Please! Why don't you
see your mom...

- No!
- ...and apologize?

- No!
- Why not?

You want me to
apologize to Mom

because I
fucked up again?

You want me to give
that to her, Dad?

I don't want
to argue with you.

Just see your mom
and apologize, right now.

Fine! You want me
to apologize to Mom?

I don't owe
you anything!

I don't need to apologize
to you for anything...

- Do you think...
- ...that's happening

- in my personal life!
- ...you know what you're saying?

I know exactly what I'm saying.

I am saying that I am
done with this bullshit

- between you and me.
- Now, you're telling me...

Okay. You don't get to tell me
what to do anymore, Mom!

- No.
- Listen!

In our family,
you put so much shame on us!

And that's what you make me feel
every fucking day of my life!

So, what happened
to Bong?

It doesn't matter
what happened to Bong, Ma!

- And then there's another guy?
- That is past! How can you...

And then you didn't
even tell anyone

that you went
there at Morden?

Because exactly this
is what's going to happen!

We're trying to improve... We're
trying to help you,

- your dad and I!
- And you're helping me by what?

- Yes! Exactly!
- You haven't even asked me

if I'm fine, Mom!

You know my boyfriend
left me, right?

Did you ask me
if I'm okay?

You want to know why I
married Bong, Mom?

I married Bong to
make you guys happy.

- Because you always...
- I married him

because I thought it would
make the family happy.

It would bring us together

and for once, for once,

I don't feel
like I'm... I'm a cloud,

a dark fucking cloud that
just everyone looks down on.

Why can't you just get
someone like Justin?

You think Justin
is so perfect, don't you?

- Yeah!
- When that guy is a creep!

He tries to touch women in
the most inappropriate ways!

- Oh, no, no, no, no.
- Mom, he is a pervert!

- Come on.
- And you're making Agnes

- marry this man?
- I don't believe you.

Agnes is making the same mistake
as I did three years ago!

- No.
- It's going to ruin her!

I don't know what's
wrong with you.

It's going to ruin her, Mom,
the same way that it ruined me!

I would do anything, anything,

just to take back
everything that I did

and make this
all okay.

So can you come back and
work this out, please?

End of the line, pal.

Hey, man.

We're closed.

Yeah.

Simon!
You're home!

You... you're home!
How long have you been home?

Were you going to call me
if you were going to...

- I was trying...
- Okay.

- I was worried sick!
- Yeah, I know.

- And you...
- Look, I'm sorry.

And you left without
a coat, and...

- Yeah, I know I did.
- ...you left your stupid phone!

- I know. I didn't think about it.
- I...

That's why I didn't
wear shoes or a coat,

because I
wasn't thinking, okay?

I wasn't. I didn't
think about it.

It's just a thing that I do,
and the cat's out of the bag.

That's a part of me,
and it's weird.

I know it is,
but I just feel

like I don't
have control over it,

because it's,
like, this thing

that I inherited
from my mom.

And I swear to God,
I'm working on it,

but sometimes, it's just really
hard to not... act like that.

And that's... Oh,
that's... not great.

And I'm sorry
if I scared you.

You did.

You just had me
so worried, okay? I...

I know.

You can't just leave and not
tell people where you're going.

And we just had that big fight,
and I wasn't...

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

That's not fair.

I mean,

do you know what
it was like for me

to just be left there

at that stupid airport
after you had just told me

that we needed
to sow our wild oats?

And so I did.

Do you know what
it feels like

to just betray the one person
that you love the most

and then just think that
it's completely fine?

- Look. I know. I know. I know.
- And I wasn't even sure

if you were going to
come home anymore,

and then you just...

- And then you leave again.
- Wait. Don't.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. You're right.

You're right. I fucked up.

It was my fault. It was my
fault. I made you...

- Please don't. Don't. I'm sorry.
- I didn't even know

if you were going to
come back anymore.

And then you leave again
and again and again.

Please, please, please,
please, please.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Any more secrets
you want to get out?

Because now would
be the time.

I think it's your
turn, actually.

- Oh, my turn.
- Uh-huh.

Is there anything else you
wanted to tell me?

No.

Nothing at all, huh?

Not even from
our first date?

No.

Why won't
you just tell me?

I went to Morden.

I saw your house.

The girl next door told me.
I know about your dad.

I know your
mom left.

Why won't
you just tell me?

You're wrong.

Whatever you heard,
it's about someone else.

It isn't me.

No, no, no. No, no, no.
It's okay. It's okay.

No. That girl, Allison,

she's talking
about someone else.

It isn't me.

No, no, no. It's okay.

Just look at me.

I see you.

Oh.

Seriously?

You are lying
to my face, Simon,

and you don't get to
just walk away from me.

Stop it. I just gave
up so much for you, and...

Stop it! Hey!

Get... You're not
going anywhere. Stop!

I love you, okay?

And... But you
have to let me in.

You have to stop
locking me out

and just running away.

You won't...

You won't... you won't tell
me the truth about your family.

You won't fricking play
bass for me,

like I'm not good
enough for you.

Look, you can't do that
anymore, Simon, okay?

Your mom left,

and your dad...

All that stuff,
that's you.

But you can't just keep
lying to me about it.

One-night stands.

You can go back to
all of that bullshit,

but I... I want more.

No. I'm fucking done!

I... don't...

need it any... any more!

Did you just have an
orgasm while dumping me?

Yes.

Yes.

- Appreciate the ride.
- No problem, man.

- If you just, like...
- That's what I do.

...wait outside,
it's going to be...

Oh, no, man.
You're going to a social.

I'm coming inside with
you. That's no question.

I... Well,
I mean, again,

I think it's
going to be, uh,

kind of a stealth in-and-out
sort of scenario.

No, I'm coming in.

Alright.

You look good. It's a
bit of a different look

from the last time we,
uh... talked.

- You think so?
- Yeah.

- You like it?
- Yeah, man.

Yeah. I think
this is more...

This is more me,
you know?

Yeah. Yeah. Totally.

- Hey!
- Hi! How are you?

Good! Thank you
for coming!

Hey! Good
to see you, man.

How are you?

I think we're out
of the...

- No dumplings?
- That one is karioka!

- Karioka.
- Karioka. Yeah. Karioka.

Do you want one?

Oh, you made it!

- Hey!
- Of course you did.

How are you?

Thanks again for helping
me out in Morden.

Of course, of course.

Uh, it didn't work out
with Simon so well.

- That's too bad.
- It's okay.

I just have to do stuff,
but please have fun.

- Yeah.
- Okay, thanks.

See you.

There's nothing there.

Twenty-eight, 29, 30, 31,
32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37.

Hey, Iris.
How's it going?

- Hi.
- What the fuck are you doing?

- Oh, I'm sorry! Uh, I'm sorry!
- Are you serious?

- Yeah. I... I didn't mean to.
- We just talked about this!

- I know.
- She doesn't like it!

I was just... I
know! I'm sorry!

- Tonight of all nights?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Just stop!
- Yes. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Jesus! Are you okay?

I just wanted to say
thanks for helping me out.

Have a good time,
alright? Okay.

Well, I mean, you walked
in without a ticket.

I don't know what
you were expecting.

Yeah. Okay, but you know,
you're security at a social.

You take it easy. You're
not the SWAT team.

Yeah, and you walked
into a social

and said you
were the band,

and you were
not the band, so...

Yeah. Well, I'm saying
it's excessive.

I think what was
excessive was your song.

Okay. Alright.
Thank you. I was there.

Was it that bad?

No, it wasn't... it
wasn't that bad.

Listen, I'm proud of
you, alright?

You did
something good.

Good for you.
Yeah, it was shit, man.

Like, it was... it was
absolutely awful.

- Yeah.
- But...

Okay. Nice
Heimlich maneuver, Superman.

- There you are.
- Iris.

- What were you thinking?
- I...

I'm sorry. I... I...

You couldn't have
just called me

if you wanted to play
your bass over the phone?

- That would've been fine, Simon.
- I... I just felt

that if I did
something big enough...

And I had to... I had
to fight for the band.

You know, this is
my sister's social.

I don't need
this right now.

Okay.

My mom wants to
meet you.

- Like, to kill me or...
- No, no!

She thinks
you're sweet,

and... she
liked your song.

Clearly, she's
tone deaf, but...

Come on.

Uh... okay.

- Yeah. I'm really sorry.
- Yes, Simon. Okay. I know.

Literally everybody that
I know on this Earth

knows that
you're sorry.

Yeah, okay.

Like, I still can't
believe you did that.
