Relish (2019) - full transcript

A teenage social media influencer and four teenage outcasts escape a private treatment facility, led by a rebellious transgender young man, go on a life-changing road trip, and discover they have a lot more in common than they ever imagined.

See, she's lying. I told you.

Game's over. Time to go back.

- Robbie, please don't take us.
- Please don't take us.

- Where're the others?
- It's just us.

The others disappeared
last night.

A system of cells
interlinked within cells

interlinked within cells
interlinked and dreadfully

distinct against the dark,
a tall white fountain played.

Cells, do they ever
keep you in an institution

cell itself?

I'm here. I'm ready.



Let's start.

Dr. Harrison will be here
shortly, Sawyer.

Personal space, Robbie.

Guess the joke.
They won't even let me have

my phone in here.

No.

- I'm serious.
- Yeah.

Probably wondering
why I called you all here?

I lowkey have top secret
intelligence for you.

We got a Freaks and Geeks
reunion going over here?

Wow! Meathead,
you can finally speak

in complete sentences.

- Shove it, man.
- What do you guys call

a football player
with half a brain?



What?

Gifted.

Hey.

It's okay. Just ignore her.

- Him.
- What?

Him. You meant to say,
just ignore him.

- Whatever.
- You have a serious

pronoun problem,
don't you, princess?

Leave her alone, Kai.

No fucking way.

Did she give you a hand job
in the security closet

and now all of a sudden
you have to act all protective

and shit?

Guys, the rules clearly state

we're not supposed to be
in the group therapy session

until a licensed
psychologist is present.

- Okay.
- Except during the ten step.

- She's being a bitch.
- It's okay.

Sweetheart, no one
knows the ten step

and I'm really afraid
they don't care

about the ten step.

Robbie, no one's
following the rules.

Yeah, Robbie.
Get shit together, man.

You lose control...

No, that's not true.
I have everything under control.

Enough! Quiet down!

- Quiet!
- Hey, hey, hey!

Show some respect
for the director.

That's enough out of you, Kylie.

And boom dead named.

So, it appears someone
tried to escape this morning.

But no one wants to tell me

- who the culprit was.
- Did they succeed?

Sawyer, if you don't have
any info to share,

just stay out of it.

Thank you, sir.
I'd very much like

to be excluded
from this narrative.

We all know who it was.

- Do we?
- I do.

And let me be clear.

You will never get out of here.

Why, I do know to get you peeved
or is it just the fact

that I exist
that pisses you off?

You all seem
to forget that this program

is an alternate
to a mental hospital.

I need you to shape up,
or everyone, everyone...

will lose their privileges.

And that goes double
for you, Kylie.

Am I interrupting?

Not at all, Dr. Harrison.

I'm just laying
some ground rules

to balance out
your coddling of our kids.

Bedlam is all yours.

Did I miss something?

Uh, you just
may have exasperated

the director's transmisogynistic
M words.

Oh, Aspen, maybe you can go
and kiss and make up for us.

That's disgusting.

Kai, by not taking
this seriously,

you only hurt yourself.

Very well.

It's your life.

Is it?

Remember our mantra.

Progress, not perfection.

I can't help you guys
if you don't share your feelings

with me.

Yeah, it's just...

you see, Dr. H,
I prefer brain fucking

in my bedroom.

You know,
we will just follow you

and continue therapy
in your room.

You know what, fine.
It's more aesthetic

in there anyway.

Come on.

I hate the way
they make me feel.

The way they take control of me.

It'll be very bad
to go off your medication

even for a day or two, Theo.

- Hey.
- I got to get out of here.

Let me guess,
you don't belong in here?

No one does.

Except Aspen.

She actually
checked herself in last week,

so technically
she can leave at any time.

So, you got a free pass?

Yes.

But I chose to check
myself in here to deal

with my anxiety and depression.

I'm sure chasing all those
likes and followers

must have been
very mentally taxing.

Look, I needed to unplug,
so, yeah, I guess it was.

What a great alternative
from your adoring fans,

your sponsor payments.

- I can't even imagine that pain.
- Look, Kai.

You don't know anything
about me or my pain, okay.

And you act like
you have everything figured out,

but I think it's just a façade.

No, I'm pretty transparent.

- That's funny.
- Is it?

- Yeah.
- Why is that?

What is so fucking complicated
about me, Aspen?

- No, I don't want to talk.
- No, tell me.

Tell me what's so fucking
complicated about me?

Okay, alright.
You know what, fine.

You're just a tomboy
with a chip on her shoulder

who has no idea who she is.

Did I get it?

No, actually,
you're just really shallow.

Leave her alone.

Why, isn't that cute.

Blow me.

Sorry, champ.
Wrong type, wrong equipment.

Fragged.

I'm a boy.

That doesn't like boys.

Ergo not gay, got it?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

If any other guy talked to her
the way you just fucking did,

I would've knocked
some fucking teeth out.

Whatever.

- Maybe I need a gender chichi.
- Maybe you need a neuro-surgeon.

Look, you're just as messed up
as the rest of us, Kai.

I think that this whole
mental breakdown thing...

is just another way for you
to get attention.

Not cool.

We should be out there
living life, I mean.

When was the last time
anyone of you had any fun?

Don't you guys want to look back

at this really miserable time?

And have at least created
one epic memory?

I'm out. So, who's is in?

Are you talking
about breaking out?

You're crazy.

Sweetie, if crazy is wanting
to live life

without what ifs and if onlys?

Fuck yeah, I'm sort of viable.

Where are you gonna go?

It's, um... it's a 48 hour rave.

It's done once a year.

And it's awesome.
We dress up, we dance,

we party, we...

What, do you even have
tickets or a hotel room?

Let's not sort those details
right now.

Okay, well, this is ridicules.
I just checked myself in here

I'm not breaking back out.

Live events
aren't really my thing.

I prefer televise events
to be honest.

Sorry.

Oh, Kai, nobody wants to go
with you.

Look, man, I'm done.

- Security's tight.
- Yeah, for one person.

We're not old team.

I've never been
to a rave before.

Oh, no.

No, no, no.
I'm not going to split over here

who's coming.

- Come here.
- No.

Alright. What the hell!

What's the play big shot?

I got a plan.

Oh!

Hmm, that's a sugar rush.

Hi. You're not supposed
to be in here, pop tart.

So, how are you ever
going to breakout

of your comfort zone
if you can't even get out

of bed?

Your loss, sweetheart.

Oh.

Oh!

- Oh, my God, you killed her!
- I didn't kill her.

She's going to wake up
with a really bad headache.

- Finally. Let's go.
- No, no, no, wait.

No, no, no. Just wait a second.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

We're going to get caught
standing out here

with our dicks in our hands.

We're not going to get caught.

Alright, well, I hope
you have a fast getaway car.

I hope you have a getaway car.

Alright, I didn't even think
we're going to make it this far.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah, I'm serious.

I have a bum ankle.
This is a fucking joke.

Look, come on, Levi.

So, are we actually
walking to the Dreamland,

because, you know,
I don't have the right shoes

for that.

Oh, God!

We're a mother shi...

You brought your phone?

And the director's Zeus statute?

- We don't have a getaway car.
- Oh!

Well, that's fine.
I'll sort us lift.

Okay.

Looks like daddy
cut off your credit card, huh.

- So glum.
- Look, I make my own money.

I didn't think

this will be so dangerous.
Abort! Abort!

You losers need a lift?

Let's go.

Je... what the!

How long has
that been back here?

You know, you're lucky Levi
decided to use van

or you would've been left here.

- You invited it?
- Yeah.

You do realize I got to come
for us sooner or later?

Well, yeah, we're only still
in the handicapped van.

Actually, you're dumb-ass.

Dreamland or bust!

And this is our guide.

Oh, God, I can't believe

I did it!

Oh, we're doing this.

No more
"what ifs" or "if onlys".

Travelling
on back rows is statistically

far more challenging
for nonenforcement

track vehicles.

Sawyer, you're such as David.

Finally! Yes!

Dr. Stratton?

Dr. Stratton!

Sir?

Did you get any of my texts
last night?

Anything at all?
I sent you like 20 texts.

They're gone. They've escaped.

Who escaped?

Uh, Kai, Levi, Sawyer, Aspen
and Theo are all missing.

Kylie's behind this escapade.

Aspen too?

Yes, and Aspen.

And they took the van.

Should I file a police report?

What? No.

We keep this inhouse.

Right, like always.

No, not like always, Robbie.

They're not on foot.
They took a Goddamn van.

Alright, we have to think quick.

We expand our net,
choke off their resources.

Take two attendants
and start the search.

Um, widen your perimeter
if you have to by miles

and find them.

Do not engage, you understand?

Call me.
Do you understand me, Robbie?

Yes, sir.

Oh, and Robbie.

- I didn't get any text or calls
- Sir, I swear...

Do not...

lie to me again ever.

And fucking fire the two fucks
who fucked on my fucking couch!

Yes, sir.

What the fuck!

Are your parents siblings?

- You fell asleep, pigskin.
- Yeah, we all did, ass wipe.

I see that,
but you were driving, dipstick.

Yeah, you all fell asleep on me,
and my ankle was killing me,

so, yes, I pulled over.
What of it!

No, I like red liquorish.

Oh.

And orange soda.

I don't have either.

This is what I imagined
freedom looks like.

Alright.

We gone.

Well!

You all look like
you all going to Dreamland.

Aren't you?

Well, you've come
to the right place my lovelies.

I'm Nova Charise.

So...

who are you?

Fashion is freedom, sweeties.

Style is the way to say,
"This is me" without speaking.

So, I say, you show the world
who you are with what you wear.

So, how many selfies
do you need in one outfit?

Clearly, one more.

Oh!

I...

Ten out of ten, girl.

Now, I cannot say the same
for the rest of you all.

But you just let Nova Charise
spice you outcast up.

No.

You don't like being touched?

No.

I feel you.

I will respect
your space, precious.

You.

No, no, you trust mama now.
You're going to look hot.

Now...

listen to me.

Listen to me my demoted band.

Of Misfits.

Do not dress the way
that the world sees you, mm-hmm.

You dress the way
that you want to see the world.

You be who you are
with flair and without apology.

You own it.

This place is incredible.
You have like everything here.

Oh! Oh, my God!

We're all mad here!

I'm mad.

You're mad.

So, we're free
to just put anything on, right?

Just take stuff
off the shelves and racks.

- That's how it works, cutie.
- Oh!

Yeah!

Drape yourself in velvet.

To thine own self...

- be true.
- Oh, yes!

Oh!

Oh, my goodness!
You look so good.

Wait, I've to get this.

- Wow!
- I dig the letter.

I love it so much.

Wait, wait, wait!
Stop the drag race.

- Wow!
- Oh.

He looks like Jared Leto, right?
Doesn't he look like Jared Leto?

My gosh! He absolutely
looks like Jared Leto.

Wait, here.

I'm not insane.
I'm voluntarily indifferent

to conventional rationality.

Oh, my goodness!

Levi, I have a surprise for you.

- No.
- Yeah, it's happening.

Oh!

Girl, you're going
to look hot, hot, hot

- like Steven Nixon ex.
- Oh, my God, I love it!

I'm going to try it in, okay.

Holy shit! They fit.

Oh, my God!
We got take a group selfie.

- Come on, group selfie.
- Yes, come on, let's do it.

Kai. Kai, come on.

You have to create
a memory, okay.

- Yeah, bro. Do it for the mams.
- Oh, God.

Fine. Alright, yeah.
Let's take a group picture.

Yeah, okay.

No. Uh, wait, wait.
We have to do another one.

Oh, God - What?

- Theo's eyes were closed.
- Yeah, sure they were.

- Okay, that one's cute.
- I like those.

- Okay.
- Oh!

Oh, I love it.

- Okay, wait.
- You all ready to pay now,

- honey bunny?
- Yeah.

When you go on a shopping spree
and don't have any money.

Relatable.

Oh, no, no, no.
Um, I don't have any money.

Oh, does anybody have any money?

Anyone?

Okay. Well, um...

we can't pay for any of this.

Okay, we can't pay
for all of this.

Okay.

Why did you bring me here?

- Hey.
- Why did you bring me here?

Hey, you're good to go.

Hey, you're good, buddy.

Hey, look at me. Look at me.

Okay, you're good, you're good.
Look me in the eye, okay.

Put your hand on your stomach.
Put your hand on your stomach,

Okay.

Now, I'm going to put my hand
on your chest

and you're going to breathe in,
really deep breath.

I don't want to feel it
in your chest.

Just breathe in
through your stomach.

Okay?

I'm on your chest.
There you go, there you go.

And then sigh like Aspen said
something annoyingly narcistic.

Yeah.

You're good. Hey, you're good.
You just had a little freak out

- alright. You're good.
- Yeah.

You're good, champ.

You know what?

Don't worry about it.

You don't need to pay.

No, you don't have to do that.

- It's okay.
- It's on me, baby.

Really.

Really, you knock
yourself out, all of you.

It's taken all Thursdays.
It's on the house.

- We have to pay you.
- Please, no I insist.

Now, you just promise me...

Now you go and dance
your little tushes off for me

when you get to Dreamland?

Go on.

Go on.

Get out of here
before I slap you all.

Hey, guys.

You can't have
a proper road trip

- without painting the van.
- Oh, let me have this one.

Go for it.

I didn't know you're an artist.

I'm full of surprises.

Smoking is filthy.

Approximately eight million
people die from lung cancer

annually.

Dreamland or bust! Bitches!

What the hell
are you punks doing?

Shit! Guys, go, go, go!

Why're you running?

Shit, shit, shit!

You've had these the whole time?

Yes!

- That was insane!
- Yahoo!

- Oh!
- Oh, my goodness!

You got a light?

Oh, hey, you have
that dreamcatcher?

Oh my gosh, yes.

- Here.
- Thank you.

Oh, my God! It's so aesthetic.

I love it.

Wait. Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

Where's my phone?

- It should be right there.
- Thank you, Kai.

- Yeah.
- Okay. Oh, my God.

- Oh! Oh, Sawyer, crop circles.
- Where?

- Nowhere.
- Kai.

- Yo, let me drive.
- I'm solid.

- What about your ankle?
- Don't worry about my ankle.

Well, fuck! Now I'm confused.

Is it your ankle or your brain
that got sprained?

Very clever.

Oh, Aspen, you look so pretty.

- And you look so happy, Theo.
- It's just a picture.

Oh, my!

What's that quote?

Edit your life
frequently and ruthlessly

cause it's your masterpiece
after all.

I don't need to edit my life.

I need an entire
franchise rebuilt.

So, tell me.

Why did you finally
decide to come?

I don't know. I guess,
I didn't want to miss out.

I'd like to think it was because
of my irresistible charm.

Oh, no, no.
I'm plugging for real.

Oh, Kai, give me my phone.

- No, you can't go...
- Thank you so much.

You can't go five minutes
without being plugged in.

Serious addiction, dude.

Look, we don't have
any money, right?

Or is there some secret statue
buried cash in the desert

that I don't know about.

There's a secret statute
of buried money?

There's not a secret statute
of buried money.

I started a crowdfunding
page for us.

That's actually
a brilliant idea.

Bullshit.

I figured we're going to need
money for gas and a hotel room

and VIP passes.

Get your publicist or agent
or whatever to hook us up.

Or, are we now
worthy enough for the tickets

- into your livelihood?
- Do we really embarrass you?

No. no, no.

I'm texting my publicist now.

Okay, see.

There we go. Still need food
and a hotel room.

And I'm talking five star
treatment, okay.

I want a luxury suite

with top of the line
room service.

Oh, yeah, because I would
never expect anything less.

How are you going to pay
for that, huh?

She got a point, huh, shithead.

But why would people give money
to a sponsored social media

celebrity who already
has everything?

That does seem kind of
desperate even for you, Aspen.

I mean, about this account
with a fake cause,

and my social media
will just promote it, okay?

Would just be mean
endorsing the whole fans

and hustle a lot of money.

Well, you better turn off
your GPS to your phone

or this is going to be
a very short trip.

Look, Kai, I'm not an idiot.
So, I'd appreciate it

if you didn't treat me
like one, okay?

You can't fly
until you get all the crap

that weighs you down
off your back,

you know that, right?

I'm very worried.

Don't be. We'll find them.

A few of them mentioned
the Dreamland gathering

this weekend.

A drug and festive den.

Kylie put them up to this.
I'll see she never pulls a stunt

like this again.

Kai is struggling
with some very personal issues.

And imagine not feeling at home
in your own body

and no one accepts you
for who you are.

I understand.

Gender identity
disorder, Kristen.

But frankly I don't care
what mommy and daddy did to her

as a child.

I'm tired of shelving
this issue, Rich.

Yes, Kai committed
a few minor crimes.

But that kid doesn't belong here
and we both know that.

This is about feeling validated.

Of course he's going to act out,
who wouldn't?

Please stop defending her.

She insulted my staff
and stole my van.

Listen.

I hear you, Kristen.

Let's just table this
until we get them back safely.

Okay?

So, I contacted
Aspen's publicist

and asked if she requested
any tickets.

She did. Five.

Brilliant.

You know what,
I don't understand this.

Why haven't we ever
gone together?

Maybe we should have
a drink right now.

Maybe we should
call the police...

now.

I don't how much you care

I would like it on the record
that I requested and recommended

we call the police.

Noted.

But I'm not going to do that.

It's hard enough
to fill the beds in here

without the local news
broadcasting that we're missing

minors.

We will get them back.

I promise.

Oh, sorry.
I can come back later.

No, no, no, not at all, don't.
Come in, come in.

Make yourself comfortable.

Thanks for just letting me
to talk.

Okay.

Will you excuse me,
Dr. Harrison?

Duty calls.

Parental issues.

We'll get that drink later.

- Hi, Dawn.
- Hi.

Okay.

Where were we?

Gas station.

That's destiny.

I don't believe in destiny,
faith or luck.

I believe in science.

Well, I believe in faith
and that everything happens

for a reason.

Faith takes
many possibility of choice.

Is there evidence
for some divine plan?

We're just elementary particles
pieced together

by some massive crack
on the universe.

That's a really
nice thought, Sawyer.

We must have
that crowdfunding cash.

Let' see if this shithole
has an ATM.

That's not how it works.

Yeah,
we haven't made our reserve yet.

But don't worry.
I have it under control.

I just refused to go
for not five starring it

all the way.

So, we're still broke?

Yeah, maybe a $20,000
was a little high.

Twenty grand?

What, it seemed
like a good amount at that time.

- Oh, yeah.
- So, in other words

we got nothing.

Can't buy gas, can't buy food.
We're stuck.

Great.

Oh, my God!

- Can I get a pick?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God!

I'm watching that.

Excuse me, sir.
Could I have some money?

Could you buy us some alcohol?

Me and my friends
are looking for a good time.

Want to come party
with us instead?

- What're you doing?
- I'm getting the party started.

Hey, where do you think
those private place

to give a hand job is?

Aspen, you can't do advertise
network out and then giveaway

our location.

And I can't go
with these losers.

Suit yourself.

We have 20 on the platform.

- Oh, shut up.
- Could you also have

some red liquorish
and some orange soda, please?

You could try getting
a Goddamn job.

This is the problem
with you millennials.

Your tick dick pics
are free for all.

Okay, listen. Whatever,
she's gone, so it's fine.

Man, you really just can't help
yourself, can you?

You always got to be the one
on the driver seat

You know what,
you want to fucking

psycho analyze me right now,
let's go.

Let me at least give you
some fucking context

so you know
what you're talking about, okay.

So, the old man,
he had this thing

that he used to drill
into my head,

that if you're not a leader,
you're a failure.

And at the top of my game
and I'm not leader.

And I jacked my ankle
and all that's left

is a failure.

And these fuckers ban
these fuckers.

They give me this shit
that's supposed to make me

feel better, okay.
And then they turn

around and they take it from me.

And they call me an addict
like I can't control myself,

like I'm some kind of monster
and they lock me

in this shithole
with a bunch of freaks.

I worked my entire life
for that shit.

And then, just gone like that.

All of it.

You see, I didn't have
a backup plan.

I lost everything.

Lost my dream.

My chance of going to college,
my friends, my girl.

My dad's respect.

It's all fucking. You know what,
yeah, yeah, go ahead

and make your hilarious...

sarcastic remark
about the dumb jock failure

that I am,
but I can guarantee you

my dad's already
beat you to it, so.

- I'm getting a bit mess.
- What, did you steal that?

My God! Go, go!

Whoa!

Hey! We're set.

I'm so sorry gas station man!

- Whoa!
- Dreamland or Bust!

- To Dreamland!
- To Dreamland!

Yes!

Whoa!

Alright.

- Okay.
- You just press

those pretty little lips
against the can

and inhale.

You're a brave girl.

- You're good? You're good?
- Yeah.

It's all good.

- Oh!
- Oh.

There you go.

- May I?
- Yeah.

Thank you.

Wow!

That's some big shit.

It's so obvious, dude.

What?

- Come on.
- What?

- Come on.
- What's so obvious?

Look, I'm going to keep it real
with you, okay?

I don't want you on this trip.

I'll admit.
You're a freaky little dude

- and you make me uncomfortable.
- Okay.

But you're here.

And she's here.

Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about.

You think that's a coincidence?

I don't think
that's a coincidence.

I know that's not a coincidence.

That's fate.

That's fate, little dude.

I mean, what do I do?
Do I just go over there?

Yeah, that's exactly
what you do.

What do I say, like, I do...

- You just...
- I don't know what to do?

You just say something,
you say something personal.

Chicks, they dig
that sensitive guy shit.

Uh, but don't get too personal.

Because then you get creepy,
you don't want to scare her off.

- Okay.
- Most importantly, let her talk.

Yeah.

There's one thing I know,
chicks love to talk.

You got this.

- Yeah.
- You got that. I don't even know

- why I'm here. You got this.
- Yeah, I got this.

- You got this, hey.
- Yeah.

You got this.

- Boom!
- I do.

- Sure, you got it.
- Yeah.

Hey.

- Go get them, tiger.
- Okay.

Hey.

Kind of freaked out
at the clothing shop, didn't I?

Yeah, I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I can't do anything right.

You know, this is the first time
I've ever been out of the house

without my parents
knowing where I am.

I'm 17 and I still haven't got
my driver's license.

Not even my permit.

I mean, my brother
didn't even pass

and he's super bright.

I guess I'm nervous
and afraid of failing.

And afraid
of actually driving too.

I'm scared.

Of taking the driving test
or actually driving?

Never mind.

Do you know
how many fans I have, guys?

Literally, they're all fucking

kind of obsessed with me.

Millions.

And millions of them.

My dad said
that relationships are dumb.

And that friends are just
energy sucking parasites

that drain you.

And you know, I should focus on
more important things

in the mall and social media.

He said that
hanging out with friends

is ton amounts of wasting time,
so I didn't have

a lot of friends
or people to talk to.

Yeah, I wish
I had more good friends.

Instead, I just have
these highs and lows.

Makes it hard.

Especially when you trolls
recommend I kill myself.

Hey.

Sometimes don't you wish
you were living

someone else's life?

Yeah. Yeah, literally
anyone else's.

That's why I like gaming.
You know, you pick a game or tag

and there's this...

anonymity, you know.
You're given a license

to become anything.

Anyone, you know, the nice guy

suddenly becomes
ruthless and powerful, you know.

We always imagine
that if we had a secret identity

we'd want to be
like Spiderman or Batman,

but online your actions
don't have consequences

and given the chance,
most people put on their mask

and they don't become the hero.

Well, they become the bad guy.

Did you know that there're areas
on Jupiter's moons Europa

and Calissto that basically
a hidden seas of water?

It's a fact.
Extraterrestrial life

does exist.

I know because they took me in.

Right here in the desert.

That's why I'm here.

Because they promised me,
if I ever came back,

they'd take me back with them.

Yeah, aliens are cool.

Hey, come on.

Stop being so anti-social.

Come on.

Come on.

Sawyer, come on.

Let's go.

Oh shit! This is my jam.

Hey, Theo!

- Hi.
- You're good, brave girl?

Yeah. You know what,
I have acne and bags,

and I think
I'm actually balding,

so I'm doing fucking great.
Thank you for asking.

- Sit down.
- Okay.

Here, I think
you're much of a pro right now.

Hey, hey.

You're okay. You're good.

Alright?

Just drip in all of it.

Hey,
what are you guys talking about?

Just guy stuff.

Hey, hey.

Okay, go. Go.

I can't. I can't. My ankle.

- I got this jam.
- Okay.

Come on.

No, you're not. I got you.

Now me, now me.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Fuck.

Hey.

Hi.

What's going on?

Come on, Kai, talk to me.

Please tell me
it's not that moment.

You know, the moment
were, oh, I'll share my wounds

if you share yours.

Thanks, but no.

- I just needed a cigarette.
- You're such a prick.

That's what I do best.

Why're you so mean all the time?

Why do you care?

Why does a rich, popular
superstar like yourself...

give a shit about what a tomboy
with a chip on her shoulder

who's totally confused
about who she is thinks?

Kai, that's not fair.
I didn't mean that.

- You know that.
- But you did.

And you do.

So, go.

Go have fun with Levi.
He's dying to hook up

and you don't want to keep
your fan keep waiting now,

do you?

It's just a fling, okay.

Why're you being like this?

Because I'm in love with you.

And I really know
I shouldn't be.

Yeah, I mean, that part
was completely obvious.

And?

And I don't know.

It's cool.
You don't feel the same.

God, I do.

You do?

Yeah, I mean...

I mean, you have a cute smile
and dreamy eyes

and you're as sarcastic as fuck
which I love.

You make me laugh
that I don't know...

So, what's the problem?

Look, I like you.

Yeah, I really do,
but this is not...

I just can't imagine
being with you.

Fuck is this is so Goddamn
confusing, Kai.

You know that this is not easy.

But it doesn't
have to be complicated.

I'm a guy like you said.

I'm just a guy with a...

a cute smile and dreamy eyes.

I mean, it's all about
what's on the inside, right?

It's just about a girl
who likes a guy.

Not to me.

And not physically anyway.

I'm getting an operation.

- And hormone that helps.
- I'm sorry.

That's just not...

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Well, you know...

I bet you'd be
a lousy lay anyway.

Detach to fortify your emotions.

Boring.

So, tell me,
how do you like it then?

Machinery with a selfie stick?

The fuck you do.

Fuck.

Don't say that.

Come on.

Wake up!

Why did I do that shit?

Let's go. I'm hungry.

Come on!

Wake up.

That's a fucking bitch.

Yeah, I'm legitimately
dying of starvation.

Same.

You're right.

How do I know that for sure?

Because the gasman said
they had Dreamland or bust

painted on the side of the van
and they were dressed

like hippies.

No, we'll find them.
We'll take care of it.

I know what I need to do.

No, I won't screw it up.

- Why is he such an ass?
- Hey!

You watch
your mouth tiny dancer.

You don't want to bite the hand
that feeds you.

You know, I was just thinking,
I'd really love to hog tie

that alien loving Sawyer.

Just saying.

Guys, there's no wi-fi.
We can't find the guys

- without wi-fi.
- Where do you think we are?

Kill me.

Um, so since we're talking
about food, you know,

and I know we're really hungry,

but it's just that
this trip has been so much fun

and I think we're really close,
but I always like to, you know,

eat really healthy
and save the animals.

Can I just suggest that we...

- No.
- No, no. No.

No.

- What was that about?
- She's vegan.

Oh! Oh, my God, perfect. Me too.

Uh, we'll definitely
find a place for us, okay.

I don't get it.

Why you eat what food eats?

Look at that.

See.

Poor animals.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

No, I have the perfect
nickname for you.

You're going to be my soybean.

So cute.

Okay, so I stopped eating meat
like two years ago.

And my skin cleared up.
It's fantastic.

I do it to save the animals.

Yeah. Yeah, no, me too.
I just, you know, mostly do it

for health reasons,
but don't worry about it.

We're going to definitely
find us a place.

Well, there're two types
of people in this planet.

I don't think I like either.

Good luck
trying to find something.

We're in the middle
of truck stops and diners.

Oh, shit.

I don't want to die!
That's not my destiny.

Yes! Is it time? I'm ready.

Take me now.

Sorry, cutie.
I think I got a car to fix.

Take me now.
Why would you say that?

Well, she thinks
she was abducted by aliens

and the only reason
she came with us

was to reunite with them.

Alright. Well, on that note.

Shit!

I told you that in private.

- I didn't want them all to know.
- I just...

Now they'll think I'm insane.

Great.

Well, get it to it, big boy.

Oh fuck!

I have something that...

here, here.

I'm good, I'm good. I got it.

- Dude, your ankle, really?
- I said I got it!

Okay,
testosterone levels are spiking.

You know what,
you're in no fucking condition

- to do...
- Get the...

Going to hit me?

You got to be such an ass, Levi.

I'll do it.

I don't see nothing.

Not a van in sight.

- Nothing is there.
- Where are we?

I don't know,
because we didn't got no wi-fi.

Did I ever tell you fellas
about my first security guard

gig?

- No.
- Well, it, uh...

started several years ago.

It was a strip club in Pahrumph.

What was it?

A strip club in Pahrumph.

- Pahrumph?
- Pahrumph.

Theo.

You're okay?

I just suck at life.

This was one big stupid mistake.

What's the point of freedom
if you don't have the freedom

to make mistakes?

Listen, Theo.

I know I got a mouth
like a bus with no brakes.

But I'm a good listener.

So, if you need anything...

or need anybody to talk to...

I'm here, right?

Deal?

Hey.

Just please don't call me
"The Alien girl."

You know, my entire school,
even the teachers,

everyone called me that.

And how does someone fit in
after something like that?

Two weeks ago
was my birthday party.

It was...

it was supposed to be epic.

There were bands
and models and youtubers

and everyone was there.

It was supposed to be like
every girl's dream party.

How is this supposed to help?

I'm trying to tell you
that everything in life

it may look perfect, soybean.

But none of it is real.

Everything in my life
is just a lie...

you know.

Can you believe that
I had the caterer

bring out the cake seven times
just so I could get

the perfect snap to post?

I remember sitting there...

after and I was so lonely.

And I didn't have anybody
to talk to.

Anyway, this road trip...

has made me feel... alive.

You know what I mean?
I mean, I feel like

we could be best friends, right?

Well...

you really are
as selfish as Kai says.

No, no, look,
I'm just trying to tell you

that I'm not the fake chick
that you see online.

- Yes, you are.
- No, soybean. Please, come on.

I'm morphing
into a better person.

I fixed the tire.

No thank yous?

Welcome.

What I learned
was upper body strength

in this...

Is more important
than core strength.

For a bodyguard?

Yes, and a pole dancer.

Hello! Welcome to Relish.

I'm Jeremy.
Just sit yourselves up.

I'll be right with you.

No.

No, okay.
Last night was a one off.

It was a mistake.

Got it.

Have we had our reserve yet?

Let's not sort the details.

No more what ifs.

Or if onlys.

Well, let's eat.

Uh, garçon.

I'll be right with you.

Here you go.

Oh! Thank you.
This is will certainly help

with the college fees.
I guarantee you.

Have a nice day!

Drive safe.

Wow!

Dreamland bound?
You don't have to answer.

It's so obvious.
I mean, look at you,

unless you're not. But you are,

because it's certainly
not Halloween, am I right?

Oh, huh.

Hold on.
I have to go make my tips.

And save up for college.
I'll be right back.

And I'm back!

Uh, so, where was I?

Uh, yes! I'm saving for college,

I'm still living with my dad.

Uh, what can I get you guys?

Do you have anything
without meat or dairy

- or animal products?
- She...

your buddy.

Oh, oh!

Oh, you're serious?

What are you... vegetarian?

- She's vegan.
- I am.

Plant based food only, please.

And I'll have
whatever she's having.

And the same for me.

What?

- Not a word.
- Yes, yes.

Uh,
vegan dishes coming right up.

Uh, just toast for me, thanks.

Okay.

Hear the team cob.

Blueberry pancakes,
powdered sugar, jam,

heaps of butter, boom!
Killer meal, right?

You said team cob?

- You're a gamer?
- Yeah.

What's your gamertag?
Maybe we play.

Two at a titan.

You dick!

You destroyed my KDR
like three times.

I'm Radog in your MOM 69.

- And of course you are.
- No way.

Dude, you got mad skills.

You guys we're...

We're sitting next
to the call of duty killer

right now.

Oh, my gosh!
You guys seriously played

- each other online.
- Yeah, like whole last year.

Yeah, it's an online tournament,
the CoD TDM online championship.

- Respect.
- Dude.

Plot fucking twist.

What an incredible coincidence?

Fate.

What's the opposite of fate?

Freedom.

This has been a crazy trip.

And it's been really fun.

Thank you Kai.

Relish it.

Oh!

Oh, I'm going to get Zeus.
Been here for everything.

Hey, don't get Zeus.

I'm gonna get Zeus,
he needs to be here with us.

And the name is Zeus go!

Hey, come with me.

Uh, where's the restroom?

Uh, outside, to the left,
out the door and to the right.

God, I would kill
for some makeup.

What's that?
But you don't wear makeup.

It's not mine, it's yours.

You brought my makeup?

I calculated the probability
of you coming with us

to be astronomically high.

I don't understand though.

How do you get
this stuff for free?

No, it's a perk of fame,
I guess.

And what do you say,
you let me paint your face

to match that pretty dress?

Please, it's fine.
See, all the brushes are clean.

And this makeup
hasn't been used before.

Well.

- You got to wash your hand.
- Okay.

Okay.

I'm ready, let's do this.

Okay.

Okay, done.

It's perfection.

And where do you think
you're going?

So, get it over with now.

Insert your jokes,
so I can go take a piss.

Fuck off me!

Oh my!

Look at these boobs.

No ways to hide
those puppies now, is there?

You know what?

I'm going to show you
why you were born to be a girl,

- not a boy.
- Fuck you.

She betrayed us.

Aspen, what is he talking about?

He knows where we are
and he's coming for us.

You know, she's been talking
to Director Stratton.

Is that true?

No. Look, he's been texting me,
but I haven't been responding

to him, okay. I promise.

She told him where we are.

No, I didn't, okay, Theo.
Why would I want to do that

to you guys.
I would not do that...

Why has he wrote,
"I'm coming for you"?

Let me see.

Why is...

You're a liar.

- You're a fake.
- No.

No, okay, Theo. I'm not.
I promised you

that I did not tell him
where we were, okay.

Why would I want
to go back there?

- I did not...
- Because you're fucking him!

Come here.

Oh, there's the van.

We didn't even know we'll find.

We're going to go in,
we're going to grab them.

We're not going to make a scene.

Like, one flew over
the cuckoo's nest

or going in to get the crazies.

See, she's lying. I told you.

Game's over. Time to go back.

Please, Robbie, don't do this.

- Robbie, please don't take us.
- I have to.

Where are the others?

It's just us.
The others disappeared

last night.

Boom! Bigger weight champions
down for the count.

Look out.

Fuck!

Easy, thin lips.

Guys! Personal space, Robbie.

I'm told not to engage,
but you all just fell

right into my lap.

Oh, it'll be such a pleasure
to drag you all back.

Alright.

- I should just kill myself.
- Hey. Hey, hey, hey.

Theo, look at me.

You don't have to do this.
I know you want the thing

to stop, but this isn't
the right way, okay?

I've seen way too many
of friends go this way.

Just, please just put
the knife down.

Theo...

you're just not taking
your meds.

Okay, that's all
that's happening right now.

You're just crashing. That's it.

You don't care about me.

Yes, I do.

Okay, we all do.
But this is not you.

And it would be a tragedy
to take somebody as special

as you from us.

Look, come on, Theo, just...

No, no. No, no, no.

No, this is me.

Do you think I'm so nice?
I'm not, I'm a terrible person.

And you're a bitch.

Yeah, you know what, Theo,
I have been a bitch.

Haven't I?

Right?

Theo, put the knife down.

- Just drop it.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- I didn't mean that.
- No, it's okay.

- It's okay.
- You must hate me?

No.

We all say things
that we don't mean

and that we regret.

Theo, we're all
in this together.

Okay?

Listen to me brother.

If we don't go now,
they're going to take us

right back to that facility.
We need to go now.

Hey, guys, I have whipped up
some hash browns.

They're vegan.

- You betrayed me.
- I'm sorry, Robbie.

- I needed those...
- You hurt me.

I won't hurt you again.
I promise.

Hey, Sawyer, hit him.

I said,
hit him not decapitate him.

I'm sorry.

Get out of here.

- Okay, here.
- Come on.

- What are you doing?
- I can't drive like this.

I can't either.
I don't have my license.

Well, you got to learn sometime.

Please, just buy us some time.

- What?
- Buy us some time.

There is so many buttons.

Okay.

- Left is brake, right is gas.
- Okay. Okay.

Seatbelt. Seatbelt.

- Oh!
- Oh, okay.

Hey, hey.

You got this.

Get in, get in, get in.

Sorry about your tire.

That was the most exciting
two hours of my life.

Pull over, pull over, pull over!

Go vomit!

I'm not cleaning that up.

Here, dude,
let me help you with that.

Let's not hurt your ankle.

- Kai, shut up about my ankle.
- Get over, come on.

Just sit down, bro.

There's nothing wrong
with your ankle.

You didn't break it.

No, I never broke my ankle.

I just didn't make the cut.

Too much attitude,
too many cracked skulls.

Not enough talent to back it up.

I was a loose cannon.
So, yeah, I blamed it

on my ankle.

And I got hooked on painkillers
and my dad had no choice

but to get me cleaner.

Maybe guys, let's be real.

Hurt ankle,
shattered college dreams.

Victim of the opioid crisis,
it just sounds better...

than asshole got axed
from varsity,

because he couldn't
be a team player.

I have to be honest
with you, too.

I really was abducted
by extraterrestrials.

You don't believe me, do you?

No, I believe you.

I don't think you do.

You know, I don't doubt
that you believe it.

You know, it doesn't matter.

You know, I'm tired
of lying about it.

It was real.

They promised to take me
with them this time

and finally be free.

Golly, that's sounds crazy.

You know what, leave her alone.

I mean, Jesus,
I'm just sick of everyone

pushing their belief's
on everybody else.

Were you there?

- No, I was not there.
- Yeah, well then you don't know.

We can't believe the truths
we don't want to understand.

And we believe the lies
that we want to believe.

Yeah, I lied for so long,
I wake up every morning

- with a throbbing ankle.
- Wow.

I would wake up in the morning
and ask my fans

what I should wear,
because I legitimately

could not decide for myself.

When the likes rush in,
it's like...

it's such a thrill.

That's why you were so addicted
to your phone.

That's why I broke down.

Wait. I heard a lot of it,
but I'm pretty sure

you said that
you checked yourself in.

More freedom
than the rest of us.

You could leave at any time?

No. No, I couldn't.

Maybe my parents
thought it would be best

for my fans
if I told them that I was...

going on a social media cleanse
and choosing to check myself in.

So, this whole time
you were stuck in there

- just like us?
- Yeah, no free pass.

Oh God, that makes me so mad.

Why?

I spent all that time and energy
being jealous of you

for nothing.

Well, um...

here, this may cheer you up.

My infamous online meltdown
happened right after

my highly publicized
birthday party.

Yeah. Yeah, I was found
by the paparazzi

crying in fetal position,
binge eating my own cake.

Ooh!

Oh God, I could not feel myself
out of bed for a week.

Oh, that doesn't make me
feel better.

Theo.

Look, I know
you don't believe me,

but I did not call
director Stratton.

Okay, I promise.

I mean, it's a coincidence
that Robbie shows up

right after Stratton's text.

What are you guys talking about?

I found missed texts and calls...

Yeah, on my phone...

from Stratton.

Why would she turn us in?

- Because...
- Because I slept with him.

I mean, it just happened.

I mean, we were in his office
and he was talking to me

and he was making me
feel important and special

and, you know, then he was
on top of me and I, uh...

I don't know, I'm sure
I lead him on or something.

I don't want to hear anymore.

Seriously, Kai, do you think
this is easy for me

to be telling you right now?

You didn't do
anything wrong, Aspen.

This is on him.

I didn't want to keep it
from you guys.

I just didn't think
it was something

that I just announced, you know.

And look, Theo,
I promise you, I promise you

that I did not call him.

I believe you.

That was really brave of you
to share, Aspen.

And you know, Kai,
you know, I seem to throw

a little bit of Heisman
when it comes to sharing...

- Private person.
- Yeah, yeah, private person.

I think it's just cause
you got some...

skeletons in your closet
like the rest of us.

Or maybe
it's cause I don't want to share

my personal life
with you, dipstick.

Fair.

Fine.

I grew up suburbia.

And my parents did
everything right.

Gymnastics, tutors, tennis.

And they always
just used to drill into my head,

till you know exactly
who you are...

You can't be truly free.

Exactly.

But the one thing
that they couldn't understand,

was I do know who I am.

That's...

not at all what I expected.

Well,
you need to be who you are.

Was that why
they locked you in there?

Well, no.

Not until I told them
I needed an operation

and hormone therapy.

That sucks.

Hey, maybe our parents
should be social drinking pals.

They can get together
and complain

about their defective children.

A come on come.

I thought I could live
like this, but I can't.

It's too hard.

I just want
the freedom to be me.

I mean, look...

even in this bigoted world

there's trans people
going into office.

Not because they're trans,

but because they have
really good fucking ideas.

We're just like everybody else.

So, what do we do now?

Whatever we want.

Well, I'm good, let's...

let's go.

I need to go back.

I need help.

I'll drive you Theo.

You know what guys...

this has been the best
two days of my life.

Okay, and as much as
I'd rather be raving my ass off

at Dreamland it's...

more important
for me to help a friend.

What about Stratton?

If you go back, they're just
going to lock you up.

You let me worry about Stratton.

Zeus and I'll make sure
he gets what he deserves.

Well, guys, you know
I can't let you go alone.

Yeah, hold me
after that head smashing

escapade. You better go back.

Hey.

Here.

Aspen.

Come with me.

I can't.

Okay, this is the one chance
that I have to actually help

someone.

No, yeah. I get it.

Where are you going to go?

I don't know.

Uh, hey, wait, um...

here.

We made our reserve.

Open PayPal
and take the money, okay?

- It's yours.
- What's this for?

And here I'll be
out of the facility

and hopefully...

be the person I meant to be.

And this is so you can do.

And maybe, I don't know...

we can buy some fake ID's
and take me out for a drink.

Please.

You don't think
I'm going to have girls

lining up
around the block for me?

Not the girls I know.

So, this is it?

We're breaking up?

Yeah, I guess, we're now.

I hope you find your friends.

I already found my friends.

My search
for extraterrestrial beings

are just an exploration
of curiosity at this point.

See you soon.

Oh, Sawyer, wait.

- Oh, my...
- Here.

Thank you.

Hey!

Hey!

Farewell my demoted band
of Misfits!

Richard Stratton.

We've got evidence
of non-council statutory rape

and patient abuse.

Oh!
