South Mountain (2019) - full transcript

Lila (TALIA BALSAM) has built a fragile tranquility in the Catskill mountain home she shares with her husband Edgar (SCOTT COHEN) and their teen daughters. Soon after the girls leave for ...

Hey, no.

Ah, stop it, hey!

I'll sometimes be a hound.

A hog.

A hog.

A headless bear,

sometimes a fire.

Who neigh and bark

and grunt and roar and burn.

Come on.

Did you do that?



Here you go, more veggies.

Dara?

Dara?

It's still too dry.

You're gonna start a fire.

But you're right here!

Darling.

Come eat!

Sam's bringing ice?

He's supposed to.

Good 'cause
these coolers are a mess.

Yeah she left over
an hour ago with Em.

Still no meat?

No more
dead things for me.



That's too bad.

I'm kind of worried.

Lila, stop it.

Are you
tracking her phone?

Almost here.

Ooh, she stopped at the falls.

Hmm, what is she
doing at the falls?

She's gonna be gone
for several weeks.

What do you think her
and Emmi are doing?

Arguing.

I don't think she's
ready to sail out

on the Atlantic alone.

She's not gonna be alone.

She's gonna be part of a crew.

She's gonna be okay.

I know.

Hey Jake, Jake.

Yeah?

Those fridges are too full.

Stick these back in the creek

- and get your sister to help.
- All right.

Beer please.

Thank you, I'm a victim.

Mom, I'm gonna
have one too, okay?

No.

What time should I have Jake
and Charlotte ready tomorrow?

For camp?

Six?

That's early.

Are you dropping Sam off?

No, Emmi's dropping
Sam to the port

so we can drop the kids at camp

and then he has a
red eye to catch.

I'm
worried about traffic

but I think everything's
gonna be okay.

Staying positive.

I thought you
were all done with LA.

I'm done,
but script's not.

They paid you yet?

What?

Mind your own business.

Edgar.

It's funny.

No it's not.

I'm gonna
put the burgers away.

Sweetheart will you just

make sure you save one for Dara?

She's not gonna eat it.

Dara?

- Grill's done.
- It's not like I was him

but I guess I kind of felt
everything he was feeling.

Yeah but now you'll
never really know

'cause you had a dream about it

and now you have this idea
about what it should be.

Did mom say you
could have that?

Yeah.

Charlotte's
smoking now.

Hey!

In her dreams.

She had a dream about it

and now she actually
has to smoke to see

if it was right.

Do it.

No, I don't have to

because I already
know how it is.

You think you know.

Jeez.

Let's get Grenadine.

Don't move.

Good one, ladies.

All right, it's not funny.

Did you eat?

No sugar until you've
eaten something.

Not with your hands.

Whatever.

Baby, get a broom.

But you said not to move.

Dara, just get a broom.

Edgar, don't take
a call just now.

Just producers.

They're not gonna
be reachable later.

Hey.

Gimme a second.

Hold on a second.

What's going on?

Hey Edgar, it's me.

We're here.

No, no, no, no put that down.

That's
two weeks early.

Yeah
two weeks for you.

You should have called sooner.

Well we had other
things to think about.

Yeah, I'm sorry.

That's okay.

- Yeah, I got it, I got it.
- Please,

can I talk to Gemma?

Hey Gemma, I
have Edgar on the phone.

Do you wanna talk to him?

Hi, hey.

You okay honey?

Please.

Let this be over.

Edgar, can you
hold on for a minute?

I think she's having
a contraction.

- How far apart are they?
- Breathe, Gem.

Easy.

They're nine minutes
apart, nine minutes.

Gemma.

Gemma, can you see me?

Can you see me?

Actually
I got it from here.

He's almost here.

- Yes.
- Yes, you're almost done.

He's almost here.

Almost here.

Almost here.

Edgar?

I'm on the phone.

Hey, this is gonna take
as long as it takes

and then I'll have to turn
pages around by tonight.

Well, I'm just worried
Sam's not back yet.

Call her.

I did, she's not picking up.

Her phone's still at the falls.

Well then she's
probably at the falls.

She's fine.

Ossie, come here.

You okay?

Mom.

Sam?

Sorry.

I had a migraine coming on.

- I had to walk it off.
- You should lie down.

It's fine, let me help.

Emmi.

Did you eat?

Uh no.

Can I pack
you something to go?

Oh no, I'm sorry I
gotta go, thank you.

Hey, I'll see you tomorrow,

- okay?
- Hey.

Bye buddy.

Bye guys.

You okay?

Yeah.

Are you sure about tomorrow?

I'll pick you up at six.

Good.

Bye, guys.

- Come on.
- Bye, Emmi.

Bye.

Everything all right?

Mom, this is Jonah.

He's taking my shift at the coop

while I'm on the boat.

- Hi, hello.
- Hi.

He taught that
biodynamic farming workshop

- I told you about.
- Yeah.

Please eat.

And I think you should lie down.

- Have a burger.
- Mom, stop.

- Here.
- Stop.

Burger?

Please.

Well I think that's
homemade onion rings.

Where's Dad?

Guess.

On the phone?

On my fingers?

Work, work, work.

You gonna eat?

Do you hear it?

Do you hear the heartbeat?

Edgar, do you hear
the heartbeat?

Yeah.

You okay?

Sounds good.

Sounds strong.

Hand me that tea.

My mouth, it's dry as shit.

How dilated is she?

About seven,
seven centimeters.

Seven centimeters.

Seven centimeters?

What's going on?

Oh my god, oh my god.

Is that it?

Yeah, here.

I don't feel it.

It's very deep.

Like a treasure.

That's it.

Wouldn't it be great
if he just chopped him up

and that was it?

Dora?

You sure you want me crowding

your last few weeks of peace?

Yes please.

'Cause it's
not gonna be pretty.

I'll try to remember that.

Please do.

Ugh.

Right?

Is he a
ghost or a real guy?

A ghost but he's real
when he's killing people.

That's stupid.

Mama, your poor boob.

I don't want them
to cut into it.

Me neither.

But it's done its big job.

You're finally weaned, right?

Mom, don't be disgusting.

Go watch
if you want to.

Go, off!

Go watch.

Sauna?

Sauna.

Oh, sorry.

- Didn't know you're here.
- No.

We can go.

Sorry, we didn't know

- you were here.
- No, it's okay.

We've been here a
while, we can go.

We can come back later.

No, nobody's gotta
go, we all fit.

Oh you can't do that in here.

In the heat, can you?

We're keeping
that tray down.

You at the co-op this summer?

Lila and I worked at the co-op

about a million years ago.

I think everybody out
here has at some point.

Where are you from?

Oregon.

That's a
long way from home.

It's all home.

It can't all be home,

then none of it's special.

It's all special.

You smoked enough.

I'm teasing.

You ready to go?

Yeah in a little bit.

Did Sam tell you
about her sailing trip?

Yeah she told me.

Yeah but
she's taking Prozac

which doesn't work
if you smoke pot.

Lila, stop.

Well, we're just talking.

Well she hasn't taken
Prozac in three months.

What?

Sam told you she was
gonna stop the meds.

She also told you she still
smoked pot on occasion.

So Sam says that
you're an artist.

I teach.

Where?

The community college.

Biodynamic farming,
that's Steiner, right?

Yeah it's approaching
the whole farm

as a living organism.

Treating it like an
energetic life force.

You have to study a long time?

Not in a building, books
or loans or anything but,

I study all the time.

What are
you studying now?

Right now I'm reading The
Critique of Reason by Kant.

Nobody really reads Kant.

You can read my margin notes.

No, that's okay.

You studying anything?

Inertia.

Push, push for me.

- Push.
- I see it!

There's a head,

- There's a head!
- Gemma, Gemma.

You got this, come on.

You're so close.

Please.

- Come on, Gemma.
- Oh my god!

Push, Gemma,
Gemma, Gemma, push.

Push, please push.

- Camera, camera!
- I see hair,

I see hair!

He has curly hair like you!

Push, push.

Yeah, more, more.

You did
it, you did it,

you did it, you did it.

Oh my god.

You're my baby.

Oh my gosh.

You did good, you did good.

My baby.

You did so
good, my goodness.

This is my baby.

Oh he's so beautiful.

Oh so cute.

You wanna lie down, baby?

Wanna sit down?

You're okay like this.

Like this baby.

It's so bright outside, I know.

Maybe you're cold.

Maybe you're cold a little bit.

Oh my god.

Hey can
you believe it?

You did it.

Oh man.

Chloe, Mira.

We're
gonna miss you.

You have the cooler?

I do.

All right, see you Sam.

Have fun on your boat ride.

Bye.

Good night.

Good night.

You okay?

Bye.

Bye.

Go to sleep early.

See you at
the crack of dawn.

Six?

Good night.

Good night.

Bye.

Thanks for the salad.

Yeah.

I gotta pack.

Gigi.

You need to take a Vicodin.

I'm not taking the Vicodin.

No, I'm not taking it.

Flush it for me.

Don't be brave.

No, no.

I mean it, flush it.

I'm serious.

Look I'll smoke a
joint if I have to

and I'm gonna focus
on these pain buns.

I'm not
going to flush them.

What do you call that
thing they live in?

All the tunnels that connect?

A warren?

Warren.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hey, you still in bed?

No.

No.

You're in
the garden, aren't you?

What are you
doing up so early?

Couldn't sleep.

Is this a good time?

'Cause I could call
you back later.

No, no, this is a good time.

How's Gigi?

Sure she's okay?

She's fine.

Any infections?

No infections.

She's just, she's tired.

I gotta
tell you something

about Gemma.

I thought
you said that you

weren't seeing her anymore.

Edgar.

How long?

What?

God!

God!

You can stay a couple
nights in the girls' room

but I need you to
find someplace else.

I wasn't
planning on staying here.

We found a sublet in Brooklyn.

They're coming next week.

The city?

I take it you were paid then?

No.

In fact the production company

is filing for
bankruptcy next week.

So you haven't
even been working.

I have a ghostwriting
gig coming up.

She still write for
that stupid television show?

Yeah.

You should write for TV.

I don't wanna write for TV.

I have a check I can
deposit in a couple weeks.

All this stress,
are you happy?

Yeah.

No, I'm not happy
when you're not happy.

But otherwise, yeah, I'm happy.

And I think I make her happy.

No.

You made me happy.

Maybe sometimes, but,

mostly you pretend to be happy.

Because you're not there.

Because you lie to me.

When you lie to
her, is she happy?

I don't lie to her.

You will.

I have to find my passport.

Where do you
think you're going?

I'm not going anywhere.

It's just something
grownup people should have.

And when she's not
happy anymore, Edgar,

will she pretend for you?

She will.

She's younger and
she's got money too

so you're gonna have to
become a better liar for her

than you were for me.

You know that, right?

Don't walk away from me.

Don't walk away from me
when I'm talking to you.

Lila,
what do you want?

What do you want?

I don't know.

Lila?

Hello?

Lila?

Jesus.

You're taking on this room?

Well it's time
Sam has her own room.

Dara ready
to sleep on her own?

She's gonna have to be.

This is
for soup, right?

Take it.

I thought you were
picking me up today.

Oh, god, I'm sorry,

- that was today.
- No, that's fine.

I called my sister.

She came and got me.

- No, no, no, no.
- No, it's funny,

she is sweet, actually.

And we went back
to her place after.

She gave me my aunt's drum

and found this sweet
young thing to come over

and give me a lesson.

It got my heart really beating.

I asked her to drive me

to the next session

- as well.
- You don't have to do,

- don't have to do that.
- No, it's fine.

I want to, it's good for us.

How's Edgar?

No, I would say it's not good.

I mean it's,

when he was away working,
it felt different and

I could imagine him coming back,

but this is like, I don't know.

This is like he got
ripped away, like,

like he's dead.

That kind of absence
is suffocating.

I mean I,

I think that it
will be good for us

to take space and
make room, because

if we make room
then we can begin

to forgive each other.

There's still a we?

Of course there is.

We went through this
before, you know that.

Oh Lila,
yes, I remember.

Yeah we worked it out before,

we're gonna work
it out this time.

Not with a baby.

Well that's how I got Sam.

No, that was
totally different.

Maddie died.

This woman has a baby and
an apartment in the city.

You should be
careful with that.

Have you even
seen this baby yet?

No.

Have the girls?

Because they
don't know about it

and he hasn't posted anything.

Well, she will have.

Stop it.

I found her.

Stop.

Lila you should look.

You know, I don't tell you
what to do with your cancer

so please don't tell me
what to do with Edgar.

They're not
exactly equivalent.

Yeah of course not,

because nothing
compares with cancer.

Oh we're competing now?

You see, you never
believed in us.

You just thought that this was

all about Maddie and that I'm

some sort of substitute.

Oh I never said
that, you said that.

No.

Don't be an idiot!

I don't have time for this.

Yeah.

Neither do I.

Oh.

Well there's room for more.

Edgar has to go through
the rest of his stuff.

When's he moving out?

Who said he was moving out?

I mean I just ran
into Gigi at the co-op.

I asked if,

She tell you
about the baby too?

Oh.

Take it.

No.

It's all right.

Take it.

Take it or empty your truck.

How far is she?

Nova Scotia.

For real?

She's not sick anymore.

She said the trick is
that you look at the ocean

and then you don't
feel so trapped.

Did you tell her?

Well, I just told her
that you were working.

I really should
get back to the city.

You were gonna
show me some bills.

I paid the cellphones

but we still have
to pay the mortgage.

You know I was cleaning
out the spare room

and I saved the table
chairs for you so

I don't know maybe you
wanna just go back up there

and see if there's
anything that you want.

It's a sublet, it's
already furnished.

You still have the high chair.

She had a shower in LA

so we don't need anything.

I could take care of these.

How?

Archangel Michael.

My brother wants to
buy Archangel Michael.

The house is yours, Lila.

But if you feel like you
can't pay the mortgage or,

you should just sell.

I mean, 30 minutes
north you could find

something bigger, cheaper.

I wasn't pretending, Edgar.

Don't.

Don't what?

Don't be nice to me.

Why not?

Because I can't.

God it's hard enough
to live one life,

I can't even imagine what
it's like to live two.

Well it's a mistake
you would never make.

Well, I could accept Gem.

I can love your son.

Stop.

I've done it before.

I love Sam.

I know, I know.

But we can't do this anymore.

There's just nothing
that I could tell the girls

that would stop them from
hating you if you leave again.

It wasn't just me that
hurt them last time.

Yeah well this time,

it's on your terms so
if you turn that down,

it's on you.

- Don't.
- Don't what?

Don't bait me into
humiliating you.

You've already humiliated me.

Repeatedly.

We can't be married anymore.

Are you done?

Yeah, I really
should get going.

Edgar.

This is really, no
but there's left

for you to run from, I mean,

the least you could do
is finish your meal.

All right.

Could you pick some
blackberries in a minute?

Have the ants started
coming in the house yet?

Lila?

It's a little bitter.

I used Stevia,
maybe not enough?

No, I mean it's
fine, it's fine, it's just,

You're right.

- No, no, don't.
- No.

No, I didn't mean
to be critical.

It is too bitter,
okay, I'm sorry.

What, what
are you talking about?

Lila?

Drink this.

You need to vomit.

- Wha...
- I fed you Gigi's Vicodin.

- What?
- Yeah.

How much?

Drink it.

I don't know how much.

We can talk about this later.

You have to drink this!

Now!

Whole thing.

Fuck!

Fuck.

Now this.

You tried to kill me!

No, I don't know.

I don't know what I was doing.

I don't know why.

I just had to do something,
that's what I did.

Yeah you're fucking
crazy is that's what.

My god, you're crazy.

I stopped, told you.

It's out of your system.

No.

Why?

Why did you do this?

It was too easy for you.

I feel fine.

I'm just gonna go home.

Hold on.

I don't think you
should drive, okay?

Pulse is fast.

I'm gonna take
you to a hospital.

You're not gonna take
me to the hospital.

What are you gonna say?

The truth.

And get arrested?

Is that what you want?

No.

No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I'll be fine.

Lila.

I'll clean your shirt.

I don't know.

Yeah, no I don't
want you to come up

because then if it's
the flu or something

then you guys get sick.

I'm just gonna rest up

and when I feel solid
I'll make my way home.

Me too.

Okay, give him a kiss for me.

Bye.

Are you gonna tell her?

Well, she's already
scared that you're gonna

murder her in her sleep.

No, I want her to be awake.

A joke.

We still need a
new screen door?

It doesn't matter.

Unless the bugs fly in.

It's a good house.

Yeah.

Is it okay if I fall asleep?

No, not yet.

Can I see him?

I need you to get a
truck here by Saturday.

What's the big rush?

Just, we need to do this
before the girls get home.

I just want this
place intact, so.

I can pack your stuff.

I'll try to get a truck
here by the weekend.

Hi, this is Edgar.

I'm not here but
leave a message.

It's me,
confirming the truck

is all set for tomorrow.

So let me know what
time you'll be there.

Hi, this is Edgar.

I'm not here but
leave a message.

Are you coming today?

I'd like to start
painting up there.

Hi, this is Edgar.

I'm not here but
leave a message.

Edgar, it's me again.

You said you were gonna
have a truck here yesterday.

You need to call me back.

Try it.

Go on.

What, no?

Okay.

My yarns.

Stop it.

You're done.

Yeah so we've been
talking about getting a place.

If we could save up
enough money, you know,

we were thinking about
getting a piece of property

up in Maine.

Maybe grow some Shiitake
mushrooms and raspberries.

What?

Okay I'm just gonna shut up.

No.

Careful, I have to ship that.

Is this Catholic?

Russian Orthodox.

I contorted for Edgar's parents.

I'm a Pantheist.

So you believe in everything.

Everything.

Oh, that sounds
like a lot of work.

I have trouble
believing in one thing.

See I think it would
be hard to believe

in just one thing.

I mean how do you know
what that one thing is?

Whatever stops
you from killing yourself.

You think about
killing yourself?

I think everybody thinks
about killing themselves.

That kind of pain isn't special?

My mother killed
herself when I was eight.

How?

She immolated herself

on a rock in the
middle of a creek

so the woods
wouldn't catch fire.

It was by this
Buddhist monastery.

I mean she wasn't even Buddhist.

She wrote a note
about what to do

with her books and her clothes.

But she didn't say why.

You must hate her.

Why would I hate her?

For leaving you.

I don't really remember her.

Just her voice.

Sam doesn't remember
her mom either.

How old was she?

She was five.

She was my best
friend from college.

This was Maddie?

Do you remember anything
from when you were five?

See I remember when
I was four, vividly,

burning my hands
trying to make tea.

I remember a dog.

I think it was,

I was six.

I was being a real asshole to it

and it bit me.

Right here, actually.

I just, I remember at first

I was really scared and angry.

But then I was just
sad it didn't like me.

You have a tick.

What?

Okay.

Hold still.

You should take
some antibiotics.

Don't laugh at me.

I used to take Sam back
here when she was little.

And once we cut to the
woods from the house

and got completely lost.

I pretended that I knew
where I was going but

still made Sam go up
the hill to find a view

but I had no idea.

How'd you get back?

We heard dogs
barking and we found the road.

But I still don't
know if Sam knew

she was lost or not.

I think
it's gonna rain.

See, you gotta move.

Move where?

Anywhere.

Move next door.

Go get lost in this mountain.

Just run away.

Children get to run away.

Not parents.

So what do you do
if you can't run away?

I tried to poison Edgar.

Why?

I don't know, I think,

where there's love, there's
a potential for violence.

Poison isn't violent.

On the inside.

You ever think
about poisoning me?

No.

No, poison is for liars.

And you haven't lied
to me, have you?

Where's my phone?

Jonah.

Edgar?

Who the hell is
in the fucking driveway?

I can't pull up.

All right, yeah.

Just wait one minute.

I'll be down to deal with it.

Edgar's here with the truck.

I don't think your
clothes will be dry.

So here, take this,

and I'll call you later.

Why don't I just
stay and help?

No.

Well I can
just hang out back here.

No, I really, I just
need you to leave.

You can come back later.

Wait, what?

No, this just really
isn't any of his business.

Are you embarrassed of me?

I didn't say that.

So I'm
not important enough

- to be his business?
- You need me

to tell you that
you're important?

Yeah?

No.

You're not important to me.

And I'm not important to you.

Here.

You need to get up
and you need to go.

No.

What do you mean no?

No.

I don't just let people
throw me away like I'm trash.

This isn't your house.

Clearly it's his.

No, it's my house.

My house.

Get out.

Get out!

What's wrong with you?

There's nothing wrong with me.

You don't tell Sam!

Come on.

Lila!

Lila!

Lila?

What are you doing here?

You were supposed to
be here yesterday.

Well I called you
three times this morning.

I turned my cellphone off.

Where is my table upstairs?

At the landfill.

I told you, I had to paint.

I thought you said you
didn't want anything.

I said I didn't need anything.

Need and want are
two different things.

I'm gonna take that table.

Fine.

You can have
your little friend

build you a new one.

I need a screwdriver.

You know where they are.

Is this the only
screwdriver we have?

You don't need a
screwdriver, they screw out.

He can't build one
as simple as this.

The screwdriver's
mine, by the way.

Is it you?

It's me.

All right, so

they said I had to play bottom

and I didn't want to at first

but it turned out
to be totally great.

Oh sorry.

That's okay.

Huh.

What?

Please?

Dara.

Dara.

Does Sam know?

Yeah.

I told her yesterday
on the phone.

Charlotte?

No.

But Gigi does?

Yes.

That means Charlotte knows.

I don't want a brother.

Well you
don't have to meet him

until you're ready.

You know we're still
parents and friends

but we just won't
be married anymore.

I don't think you
should be friends.

Why not?

'Cause it'll just
make mom sad again.

Where do you live now?

Brooklyn.

See you tomorrow?

You're just gonna give me

handfuls of cash from now on?

Yeah.

See you.

I need a napkin.

I said I wanted a napkin,

not a paper towel.

A paper
towel can be a napkin.

Yeah.

But it's not.

I'm not even hungry.

Well, you can just
clean the dishes.

I didn't even eat.

Well, you
still have to help.

I wanna stay at dad's tonight.

You're staying
with him next week.

I don't wanna
stay here with you.

Why?

You smell like cigarettes.

Well he doesn't have a bed
set up for you yet, Dara.

All right Dara, just
leave the phone alone.

So are you gonna
kill yourself?

What?

The last time he left,

Dad came back because you
were gonna kill yourself.

I was very, very
sad for a while.

Your dad came back because we
both wanted it to work out.

But not now.

Well now it's gonna work
out in a different way,

your Dad not living here.

And Gem and the baby
is part of our lives.

Just don't go away.

Now when you
were a little baby

you used to dance all
night, sleep all day.

And I remember holding
you up like a doll

and we'd dance.

You would lie down and
sleep for 10 minutes.

And I remember lying
there thinking that

just a small movement of the sun

is the only thing that
differentiates night from day.

Mom, stop talking.

We got one walker.

I think a walker and four nits.

Can I see?

Yeah.

No lice for me.

I have to do you next, Dara.

I don't have lice.

Come on, you were
at the same camp.

Yeah.

But we don't hang out anymore.

Mom, this is really
awkward and lame.

What happened?

Nothing happened.

We just don't hang
out anymore, right?

We don't need
to make them do this.

Why don't you want to hang out

with Charlotte anymore?

She doesn't wanna
hang out with me.

Why?

Because we were
playing proof or dare

and I told Benjie and Yelena

that Charlotte liked Darryl.

I don't.

You said you did.

I said he was cute.

Is that all you said?

I tried to sit with you

but you said there was
already someone sitting there.

It was just an empty chair.

I told you.

Our invisible rodent
was sitting there.

I'm more important
than an invisible rodent.

Hey.

How's your sister?

She went home.

My god.

It was the drumming.

Shut up, she
loved the drumming.

Anybody home?

You're here!

- Oh.
- Hi.

Ossie wants to come in.

Wow,
look at this place.

I can't believe how
much you got done.

Mom, you
didn't have to do this.

I should have done
it a lot sooner.

These were Maddie's.

Sam's baby clothes.

Oh my god.

Did you ever see these?

Is that Maddie?

Yeah.

She had a sailboat?

She had
it over the summer.

You look just like her.

First thing that your mother
told me after you were born

is that your eyes
were like the ocean.

I didn't know that.

Well I didn't remember
until I started cleaning.

I dreamed she was
on the boat with me.

I didn't talk to her.

She always had her back to me.

She was doing all
the technical stuff

like tying knots and
taking in the sail.

She was really good at it.

I just want you to know
that this room is here

for you and Emmi.

If you want.

You don't have to
stay here for me.

No.

I wanna be here, Mom.

I wanna be home.

You should tell her.

Tell me what?

We bought a food truck.

A food truck?

- Yeah.
- Emmi bought it.

Yeah.

And we're gonna
rebuild it together.

I wouldn't start taking it
out until the spring, but,

Where would you go?

Local, we'd take
it out locally.

And if you need me here more

- then we can wait.
- Hey Lila, here.

Sam, we should talk.

I don't
wanna talk to you.

It's okay.

I'll go.

Ooh, nice spin.

I'll take over.

Find the other one?

Champion ping pong.

Playing?

Sam like her new room?

Yeah, she does.

When do you think she
might talk to me again?

I don't know.

When she needs money?

Do you have any?

You're funny.

Whoa, whoa.

I forgot how good
you are at this.

No.

Wait, one more.

Oh!

What, where you going?

It's too hot.

I gotta get changed.

I remember that dress.

Dara said I should wear it.

Can you button it?

When I open my eyes
first thing in the morning

I still expect to see you.

Jake.

Jake.

What?

Enough, gimme the phone.

No, I'm in the middle
of a conversation.

You need to learn to
be in a conversation

with the people you
are actually with.

Why, I don't
have anything to say

to any of you.

Then just hang out.

And braid
hair, no thanks.

Give me the phone
or it goes away for good.

Hello.

Hey.

Hey.

You going hiking?

He's going up South Mountain.

We're trying to
talk him out of it.

I hear there's
a beautiful view.

If you could find it.

It's fun.

You should come.

No thanks.

Sam and Emmi can't come.

'Cause we
have a life here.

Yes we do.

Call us if you get lost.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah it's fine.

Just go up in the driveway.

Maybe the girls will
wanna see the baby.

This is weird,
you should talk to her.

You know, he told us.

I'm sorry.

I don't want
you to apologize.

What do you want?

I want you to
act like my mother.

Did you
think I was dead?

No, you can't die.

It's impossible, you'd
take this fun away.

What angel wakes me
from my flowery bed.

Pray thee speak
again, sweet mortal.

Mine ear is much
enamored to thy note,

such as mine eye
enamored to thy shape.

And thy gentle force
perforth do move me

on my first view to say

I love thee.

You have to inhale.

Inhale.

Here, I'll show you.

Dara, I gotta go.

Come see your brother.

All right,
am I getting it?

Yeah, you got it.

I can't get my hands...

You got it.

Sam?

Where are you going?

I'm going to Emmi's.

I don't want you to leave.

Mom, you don't need me
here to take care of you.

Yes I do.

And you keep leaving

and leaving.

And I'll be back.

I know.

You know this baby's
gonna be 25 when you're 75?

Which is why he's
gonna need you.

I got him.

I know.

He's okay.

Shh, shh, shh.

There you go.

Fast asleep in sister's arms.

- Yeah.
- So cute.

That was you.

Aw.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

Mom?

How many?

13.
