Who Needs You (2022) - full transcript

[light music]

[music ends]

♪ We were the oldest
Ones of ten ♪

♪ On one hot
And sultry day... ♪

[man] So the music's building
and building, right?

And the singer's just
screaming his lungs out, right?

And everybody's head banging
to the music.

And I get so amped, and it's
like, all right, it's my turn,

and I just start thrashing,
you know.

And I don't even notice, but
you know those rails up front?

-Oh, no.
-So I go.



And then I just thump.

-[both laughing]
-Dude, I crack my head.

[man wheezing]

So freaking hard.

And I just hit the ground, dude.

-What happened to you?
-I don't even remember.

Like literally the next thing,
I'm like in my car

with my friends
just driving home.

[laughs] How long ago was that?

Mm...

That was like, um,
I wanna say eight years?

That was like
another life, dude.

Mom would get so pissed with me
when I'd go to those concerts.

Dude, I feel like I haven't
seen you in forever.



What's it been like, uh,
a couple months or something?

Something like that.

How's school been?

Eh, it's fine.
I mean, it's school.

I'm taking, like, six credits,
I think.

Nice. How's, uh, how's work?

Lame. My manager sucks.

Wait, wait. Is that, um,
uh, what's his name, Bryan?

That dude that looks
like a lizard?

Yeah.

Oh. He seems like he sucks.

And, uh, everything
else is good?
You know, like you're staying...

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
I'm staying clean.

-How's Rachel?
-Oh.

Rachel is doing great.

-Good. I really like her.
-Oh, dude. I love that girl.

I have no idea what I'd
do without her. Honestly.

I'm pregnant.

[laughing]

Oh, my gosh. [laughs]
Dude, could you imagine?

-When did you find out?
-I found out last week.

Uh-- Oh...

Do you know who the dad is?

I don't know.

S-- Uh, Sarah...

I'm gonna get it taken care of,
don't worry about it.

As in like...?

Yeah. Could you really
see me as a mom?

Uh... [sighs]

Well, it was good seeing you.
Glad things are going well.

Got a long drive back home,
so I'm gonna head out.

What's up?

Can we talk, please?

There's nothing really
to talk about.

-Are you serious?
-Come on, okay?

My appointment's next week.

So that's it?
Just get rid of it, who cares?

Stephen, please. Can we not?

Sarah, this is insane, dude.
You have a child.

-Do you even realize?
-Okay. Don't give me that.

Look, I've thought through
it all, literally everything.

There's nothing you could
say right now that hasn't
crossed my mind, so please.

[sighs] Look, it was good seeing
you okay, Stephen? I need to go.

[starts engine]

[knock on door]

-Hey.
-What are you doing here?

I was just around.
Thought I'd come see
how you're doing.

You were around?
You live three hours away.

Is that how long it is?
That's, uh, crazy.

Uh... Anyway,
you doing all right?

So...

Uh... you're pregnant.
That's cool.

Look, I'm sorry if I
overreacted last night, okay?

I just wanna talk, please.

[door closes]

Hey, uh, who's
all living here now?

Just the four of us.
We're all a pain,
but we make it work.

Cool.

Nice. Nice, nice, nice.

[Stephen sighs]

Look, I just wanna know
if you've considered everything
that goes into this, okay?

Yeah. I have. Like the fact
that I have no money
and no place to raise a kid.

The fact that our parents are
gone, and whoever the dad is
is long gone too.

-Where's the straightener?
-Brittany, it's under the sink.

[sighs]

Maybe this isn't as complicated
as you think, you know?

[raps counter] Maybe raising
a kid would be good for you.

Or maybe it would wreck
my life and its life too.

Do you remember what it was like
growing up without a dad?

We were barely scraping by
all the time. I'm supposed
to want that for a kid?

-[Brittany]
Where did you say it was?
-The sink, Brittany.

-It's under the sink!
-[sighs]

[smacks lips]
I'm just saying, this person...

-They deserve a chance--
-[Brittany] Where is it?

[both] The sink.
The sink, Brittany.

-It's always been
under the sink.
-There's cabinets underneath.

You're probably just
not looking hard enough.

Rachel, my brain's all over
the place right now, dude.

-[Rachel] Well,
what did she say?
-I don't know.

Like, she's already
thought through all this stuff.

I have, like,
no idea what to say.

Are you sure you can't
make it tonight?

I'd cancel, but I don't wanna
bail on everybody now. Please?

Babe, I know.
I just have to finish
this project by tonight, okay?

Okay. No, it's fine.
It's fine, no worries.

I'll just have
a nervous breakdown
in front of all my friends.

-It's cool.
I know you'd like that.
-I would love that.

Can you make as much
of a scene as possible,
like you usually do?

Yeah. Yep. Sounds good.

Okay. All right.
Thanks, sweetie pie. Okay.

[distant sirens wailing]

-[woman] Hey, man.
Here you go. Yeah.
-[man] Thanks.

-[TV playing in background]
-Hey, Sarah, you want one?

Ah, no, I'm good. Thanks.

Oh. That's right. You've been
all straight edge lately, huh?

-Trying.
-That's good.

-Hey, I'm trying too.
-[scoffs]

Can you get me one?

[scoffs] Get it yourself.

-Whatever.
-[scoffs]

-Hi, baby.
-[kids' show on tablet]

Can I see what's on your show?
Here, I got it.

-[counting song playing]
-Perfect.

Look right here. Wait. Oh, no!

-You did it. Go on.
-[game voice] Great job!

[woman] So, what's new?
What's been going on
lately, huh?

Uh, nothing, really.
I just saw my brother, though.

Your brother?
Do I know him?

-[door opens, closes]
-Uh, you'd remember him.
He's a lot.

[laughs] He's a really
good guy, though.

Yeah, he is.

[man] Am I a good guy?

Oh! Hold up, hold up.
Wait a minute.

-No. No, I didn't
have any other choice.
-You said that last time.

-You were the werewolf then.
-No! No! Well, I mean,
I was, but--

-She's fumbling, guys. She's
fumbling. That's what happens.
-What did you play?

I played this, which
means I fed our village.

That doesn't mean anything.
He could still be lying.

-No. Come on, no.
-She's getting a little
defensive, wouldn't you say?

I wanna know why
Stephen's being so quiet.

-I'm not being quiet.
-Are you kidding me?

Normally the whole neighborhood
can hear him yelling.

I'm not quiet, guys.
Look at me.

-Are you the werewolf?
-No, I'm not the werewolf.

-I'm not, guys. Look.
-He's so convincing.

I'm not the werewolf, guys.
Don't do this to me.

-I'm not it. I'm a villager.
-[all talking at once]

♪ I'm not the werewolf ♪

I'm not. I'm not it.

-No. Come on, don't.
-Three, two, one...

Look. [slaps card]

Happy? You killed
an innocent man.

You guys feel good about
yourselves, huh? I bet you do.

I hope werewolves
come pouring outta the woods
and eat your legs,

and your arms, and your face.

Okay, next round.

All right, guys.
[deep voice] See ya. Later.

All right, man.
Well, I'm gonna head out.

Thanks for having us over, dude.

-Yeah, man.
-Fun hanging out with everybody.

-This was fun.
-Yeah, have a good one.

Yeah, you too.

Yup.

Hey. You sure you're all right?

Dude, I'm like freaking out
a little bit.

What's up?

My sister's pregnant.

Whoa.

Yeah. She doesn't know
who the dad is, man.

I know.

When did you find out?

She just told me yesterday.

And how is she?
Is she all right?

Yeah. I mean, she's okay,
it's just...

She doesn't wanna keep it.

She's already got
an appointment next week.

Yeah.

Yeah, what?

I mean, I'm sure it's tough.

She's already had a rough life.
I get it.

What'd you want her to do?
You know?

I don't know, just, like, think
through this or something.

-You know?
-Are you gonna talk
with her about it?

I just tried this morning,
but she's got an answer
for everything that I say.

I've tried calling her
before you guys got here,

and now she's just like
completely ignoring me.

I'm just like blech.

[sighs]

I'm just gonna go spend
the night

at her house with her roommates,
and just bug her to death.

Yeah. Just pop up behind her
every time she turns around.

Like a cartoon.
I'm just like, "Hey, Sarah.
Hey, Sarah. Hey, Sarah.

Here I am. Don't ignore me."

That'd be funny.

I might do that.

What? Might-- might do what?

Like, uh... you know,
talk to her.

Try to get through to her,
bug her even, you know?

I could head down after work
tomorrow and see her.

I'll just stay in town
for her appointment.

-[chuckles] That'd be crazy.
-Uh, what are you talking
about doing?

-You're gonna have
a conversation with her?
-Yeah, go in town for a bit.

And catching up with her,
and just talking,

connecting,
brother and sister, you know?

Okay. She'd probably
appreciate that.

-I think so.
-Just talk things through
with someone. Yeah.

Yeah, be good. Yeah.

All right, well,
I hope that goes well.

Yeah. I'll be seeing you,
all right?

Cool. Yeah. All right, bro.
Yeah, see ya, man.

Hey.

You're just gonna have
a conversation with her.
That's it, right?

You're not gonna do
all that other stuff
you were talking about?

-Bugging her every time
she turns around?
-No, I'm not gonna be like that.

I'm not gonna be all, like,
weird and obsessive
and whatever, you know?

-I just wanted to make sure.
Sometimes I can't tell.
-No, dude, no, come on.

You know me. [snorts] It's me.

Yeah, yeah. All right, well...

don't be an idiot.

[Stephen] Okay.

[deep voice] No, sir. Not me.

[patting thighs] Hmm.

I'm not an idiot.

[roommates laughing
in background]

[Rachel] So you said you're
gonna stay with Michelle?

How long?

Well...

Sarah said her appointment's
next week.

So I guess however long
before then

to talk to her,
get through to her.

-Mm-hmm.
-Something.

I don't know what else to do.

Hey. It's gonna be fine.
You're just gonna talk to her.

I know. It's just...

I feel, like, so stupid.

I didn't know her life
was like this,

and I'm just like...

I don't wanna see her...

I know.

I know you know.

That's why I go out with you,
Rachel, because you know, okay?

All right, I think
I'm forgetting something.

[kids shouting]

[Michelle] Did you say
she's pregnant?

[Stephen] Yeah.

Whoa.

What's she gonna do?

I don't know.
She doesn't wanna keep it.

That is a hard place to be.

-You haven't seen her recently?
-Nope, not since she moved out.

Have you tried talking with her?

Yeah. I don't know
what to do, Michelle.

I'm kind of freaking out
a little bit inside.

I get it.
She's had a rough life.

I know you both have, and this
is a really tough place to be--

Boys! I'm trying to have
a conversation
with Stephen right now.

I need you both
to go play quietly
in the other room, please.

But Tommy poked me in the eye!

-[Tommy] I did not.
-[Michelle] No, stop.

I need you to go play
quietly in the other room,

'cause if you don't,
I'm gonna take that sword

and I'm gonna run it
right through you!

Go on.

I mean that is a tough decision.
It is so much work.

And to do that alone?

I can't even imagine trying
to raise a kid on my own...

[key falls]

[sighs]

[Stephen] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hold on, hold on.

-Right there, see him?
-[woman] Oh, yeah.

-[Stephen] This guy,
just a total douche bag.
-[woman] Oh, really?

[Stephen] Oh, my gosh, yeah.
Doesn't he? Right?

When he started arguing,
I was like, "Dude, no.
You don't talk to me like that."

-[Lauren] So you told him?
-Oh, I put my foot down.

-Good for you, Stephen.
-Because you gotta
stand up for yourself.

Can't have people
walking all over you.

Hey, Sarah. I'm back. [chuckles]

Okay.

Hey. So, I had an idea
about, you know.

Stephen, shut up.
How are you still even in town?

I'm staying with Michelle.
Don't worry about it.

Now look, I really think you
can make this whole thing work.

Okay? I was really
thinking about it,

and there's a lot of women
in your shoes

who have just,
like, done it, you know?

Not "done it" like sex,
you know?

Well, I guess you did.
[chuckles]

Uh, I don't wanna
think about that.

Uh, what I mean is they had
the baby and figured it out,

you know, because...
it's a baby.

Ooh... There she goes.

[knocking on window]

Hey. I thought we could
grab some lunch and chat.

-I'm working.
-Oh, that's cool.

Check this out.
This is the different
stages of pregnancy.

And that's what your baby
looks like right now.

Isn't that crazy?
It's a miracle.

It looks like a frog
had sex with an alien.

What are you talking about?

[man on TV] Yeah, I'm really
happy to be here on the island.

[phone chirps]

I'm really looking for
the one, for my soulmate,

for that perfect one who
I could share my life with...

-[man continues indistinctly]
-[modern jazz playing]

[host] Hello,
I'm Jeffrey Freeman,
and welcome to...

-Would you just listen?
-Okay, you're not even
listening to me.

-It's a child, Sarah.
-Stop!

Oh, my gosh. Come on.

[phone buzzes]

[jazz stops]

[phone buzzes]

[jazz resumes]

[Sarah and Stephen
arguing over each other]

[arguing stops]

[woman] I got it!

-Hey.
-Oh, hey. Sarah's not here.

Oh. Where is she?

Oh, no, I don't know.

Um, hey, where's Sarah?
You guys know?

-[Brittany] She's at
that dude's house.
-Who?

[Brittany] That dude.

Oh, yeah.
She's at some dude's house.

Um, Dan, or something?

Dave?

Oh, yeah.
Dave and Hannah, right?

Oh... okay.

-[car alarm wailing]
-[stalled engine cranking]

Blech.

What's up?

Knock, knock, knock!

-[woman] Stephen?
-Yo.

-Dude, no way. Hey.
-What's up? Hey.

-It's so good to see you.
-Good to see you too.

-Look at you, man.
-Hey. What's up, man?

It's going down now.
It's going down.

The party has arrived.

It's going down tonight.
Come on in here, man.

-All right.
-About to get
this thing popping.

-I'm serious.
-[laughing]
-Yeah.

-Man, it's been a while.
-It has, man. It has. Gosh.

Yeah. And you are?

Jason.

Sick, dude.
It's great to meet you.

-Yeah, for sure.
-So what brings you around?

Just thought I'd come
see you guys, you know,
hang out, see my sister.

-Aw.
-[man] Right on. Yeah, man.

So while you're here,
you wanna

hit a little
something something?

-Babe.
-Nah. I'm good, man.

-Still staying straight?
-One day at a time, right?

Okay. Okay, I can respect that.

-Yeah, I hear that.
-I'm sure you do.

Stephen, can I talk
to you for a second?

Sure, yeah.
I thought we'd just kind of--

-Now.
-Sure. Hmm.

-It's good seeing you guys.
-[Dave] Good to see you.

Yeah. We'll catch up,
all right? Just give us
a second. Cool.

All right.

Shit!

[dogs barking in distance]

So, Dave and Hannah's?

I know.
They're shit, and I'm shit.

Hey, I didn't say that. Okay?

You're not shit,
and neither are they.

It's just this place.

-If you're not careful,
you're gonna...
-Yeah, I know.

Why are you even here
in the first place?

Are you just gonna lecture me
about the baby again?

Look, I just wanna talk. Okay?

Just have a conversation.
Please?

But can we go somewhere else?

[sighs] Fine.

Look, I just don't think
you really understand
what you're doing, okay?

I know exactly what I'm doing.

It's not like you just
get rid of it, Sarah,

-and all your problems go away.
-So they go away if I have it?

That's not what
I'm trying to say.

Then what
are you trying to say?

Look, having a child
changes you, you know?

It makes you better.

Stephen, I don't wanna
just get rid of it, okay?

I'm not some insensitive
monster who doesn't care.

-I didn't say you were.
-Okay, but that's
what it feels like.

Do you know how hard this is?
A little part of me thought
it might be a good thing.

I was a little bit
excited to be a mom.

But it also terrifies me.
I don't know what
I'm doing with my life.

-Well, sometimes you just
figure it out, you know?
-Why do you care so much?

Why is this such
a big deal to you?

I've been where you are, okay?

What are you talking about?

When I was younger,
I got a girl pregnant.

It totally caught us off guard.

After the initial shock, though,

we decided
we were gonna keep it.

We just felt it was
the right thing to do.

I wasn't exactly living
the way that I should, though.

So I promised
I'd get my life together.

So time goes on,

and eventually we find out
it was a girl.

But I didn't change.

I kept living like an idiot.

Then one day, outta nowhere,

my girlfriend tells me
she got an abortion.

When I asked her why,

she said she was tired
of waiting on me
to get my life together.

Said she didn't trust I'd be
there for her and the baby.

And she was probably right.

I think about that kid
almost every day.

She would've been five
this year.

I can't tell you how much
it still hurts, okay?

It's not like you just
do this and move on.

It stays with you, all right?

And if I feel this way,

I can't imagine
how she feels because--

I get it.

That doesn't change
my life now, though, Stephen.

I'm a kid. I'm a mess.

I've been clean for, what,
less than a year?

I live in a house
with three girls,
and I can barely afford rent.

Who's gonna help me?
My roommates?

My druggie friends?

Or is it
the dad that's just gonna

magically pop back
into my life?

-I have no one.
-I'll be there.

What?

I'll be there.
I'll help raise the kid.

I'll help be it's dad,
or whatever.

What are you talking about?

If you have your child,
I will help you raise it.

-You're not even around.
-Well, come stay with me.

What? My whole life
is down here:
school, work, my friends.

-You want me
to just leave all that?
-Then I'll come down here.

At least help you get on
your feet, then we'll figure it
out from there.

-Where would you even stay?
-I'll stay with you guys.

-In a house with four girls?
-I'd crash wherever.

-I could make it work.
Who cares?
-This is so stupid.

-Sarah, we could make this work.
-What about Rachel, or your job,
or the rest of your life?

Don't worry about that.
I'll talk to Rachel.
We'll figure something out.

And with my job,
they have a branch down here.

I bet I could transfer
to that, no problem.

This is the stupidest thing
I've ever heard.

You said yourself you don't
wanna get rid of it, right?
Here's how we do that.

-Stephen, just stop.
-Sarah, we could make this work.

-No, we can't.
-Please. This is
the right thing, okay?

-Stop.
-No, Sarah.
This is the right thing.

We can do this.

We could be a family.

No, we can't.

-Yes, we can.
-No, we can't.

Sarah, yes, we can.

No, Stephen.
No! No, we can't.

This isn't just
as easy as me, what,

having a baby,
then all my problems float away?

We're talking about me
bringing a human being into
the world, and I'm not ready.

Thanks again, Michelle.

Are you sure
we can make this work?

Yes. We can. I'll be there
every step of the way, okay?

-Whatever it takes.
-Seriously?

Yeah.
We can do this, okay?

Okay.

Okay?

Yeah.

All right. Seriously?

Yeah.

-[laughing] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
-Dude!

Oh, my golly!

Okay. [laughs]

Okay. All right.

Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Lord.

All right. [exhales sharply]

-Dude, you good?
-I'm good.

How are you?

-[Sarah, laughing] Good.
-Good.

[woman] Oh, look at her.

[Lauren] She is
such a cutie. Hi.

[woman] Hi, baby.

-Too cute. She is just too cute.
-Mm-hmm.

Well, Sarah, I hope that
this stuff helps you out.

-Thank you so much.
-Yeah, you're welcome.

Congratulations, Sarah.

Thank you.

All this stuff, so nice.

[sighs]

Thanks for staying here.

Yeah. It's just easier
if I'm here.

Newborns can be a lot.

[sucks teeth]
Oh, my gosh. Look at her.

You made that.

Yeah, I'm talking about you.
Huh?

Look at me
when I'm talking to you.

Whatever.

Hey.

We'll be all right, okay?

Look.

[deep voice] "Hey, Sarah.

Sarah? Don't be sad. Be happy."

[laughs] Stop.

This'll be fun.

Whole new adventure.

Oh, there we go.
A little pukey for me.

Ooh, hoo-hoo, and poop.

We got a lot going on. Mm-hmm.

Did you puke and poop?

Yes, she did.

What's that?
You want to go to Mom?

-She wants to go to you.
-No, she doesn't.

-[man on TV]
I'd have to pick Tiffany.
-No. Are you kidding me? Why?

She sucks.

-[baby crying]
-Oh! [shushing]

[Stephen]
Did I get the right size?

I can still take it back
if we need to.

-What do you mean?
-She only pooped a little bit.

-That's disgusting.
-They'll take it back.

-Are you joking? No!
-Put it back in the box.

"Sorry, these aren't
the right size."

A little bit higher.
I'll tilt it.

-Oh.
-Okay.

Guys, I'm doing it.

[Stephen]
Dude, it's ordered chaos.

[Sarah] There is no order
to this, and you know it.

Uh, yes, there is, and she's
my niece, and she loves it.

-I don't think she does.
-Yes, she do, dude.

-Disgusting.
-No. Get over it.

-Eww. Are you kidding?
-What?

-You want me to come with you?
-Just get in the car.

-I can't.
-[baby crying]

-[baby cooing]
-Hi.

You're supposed to be asleep,
you know that?

That's how you swaddle.
She tucks it in.

-It's kinda like baby origami.
-Oh, yeah, exactly.

-Hey, I can watch her.
-Oh, no. I got her.

She's just too cute to put down.
Huh? Aren't you?

I got her.

[Sarah] There are
so many dates in here,

but I have no idea how
they're all connected.

-Where?
-Over here.

They don't make any sense.

-Which paragraph? Right here?
-Yeah.

[reading softly]

Okay, right here.
See this one, there?

This one goes down to
this one with this guy.

That goes up. That goes down.
That goes over.

And all of a sudden,
you graduated college
with an A-plus.

-Why?
-'Cause, look.

That's how you graduate college.

-Thanks so much.
-Dude, I got you. [chuckles]

I love the stuff you draw, dude.

-[Sarah] Thanks.
-Yeah.

You can have that if you want.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-I don't wanna take your stuff.
-I have plenty.

-[relaxed music playing]
-[Stephen] It's so
freaking cool.

-And weird.
-[Sarah laughs]

[Stephen] Weirdo.

Ha! Hey.
I have the same one, dude.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

-Remember that day?
-Yeah.

[chuckles]

We should get another.

-We should.
-Yeah. Let me get the baby.

-Okay.
-All right?

-Okay, ready, ready?
Let's make a face. Ready?
-[Sarah] Okay.

[camera clicking]

[laughs] Okay.

-Oh!
-I love that. That's perfect.

-Fantastic.
-You have to send that to me.

-Oh, I will.
-That's definitely
the Christmas card.

[Stephen] That's
Christmas card, right there.

I love that.

[Rachel] How's she doing?

Good. Yeah, she's doing good.

Baby's doing good, I'm doing
good, we're all doing good.

[Rachel] Oh, that's really
great, babe.

I'm so happy for her.

I know. Me too.

Hey, you know what?

I should come up and see you
this weekend. I miss you.

Well, come on up.
I miss you too.

Hey, you should bring Sarah.
It could be fun for her.

Yeah, it would.
I bet she would love that.

Oh, my gosh, Rachel.
You have the best ideas. How?

[knocks] Hey.
Me and Rachel had an idea.

Thought it'd be fun
if you came up and saw
my friends this weekend.

What about the baby?

Hmm, she could stay
with Michelle.

We could head up Friday
and come back Saturday night.

-Hmm.
-Just one night.

Yeah. Yeah, that would
be kind of fun.

Yeah, I think so.

My friends do get
a little intense.

So, just go with it, okay?

I'm sure I'll be fine.

[all shouting at once]

I know it's him!
I know it's him
right over there!

[all shouting]

Three, two, one!

-See? You happy?
-Oh-ho-ho-ho!

-Hey, check this out.
-What?

-You're such a freaking liar.
-You lied to me. You suck.

-You're a sucker.
-Okay, anyway, Sarah,
does that make sense?

-[Sarah] Hmm-mm.
-[Stephen chuckles]

-Remember when we used to eat
breakfast with Uncle Donnie?
-Ugh!

He would eat so many pancakes,
it would actually piss me off.

[Stephen laughing]

-What are you guys laughing at?
-Our fat uncle. Remember?

Oh, that guy. Oh, brother.

-Hi, Sarah.
-Hey.

-Have you guys ordered yet?
-[Sarah] Uh, no, not yet.

What'd you think of the gang
last night?

They were intense,
but it was a lot of fun.

Super intense, right?
[chuckles] Oh.

-Hey, how's the baby?
-She's doing really good.

Show me some pictures.

Oooh!

♪ Girl time ♪

-[Sarah] These are
the good ones.
-[gasps]

Oh.

She is so adorable.

Oh!

She's adorable.

I'm so happy for you.

Sarah is a kick-ass mom,
in my humble opinion.

Look at that face. Look at her.

-I believe it.
-Stop.

Mom, right there
all over her face.

-You should be really proud.
-Thank you.

Now the real important
question is,
what are you gonna eat?

And if you say
something healthy,
we're gonna leave right now.

-Stephen, I have to.
-We'll leave right now.

I've been eating
fast food all week.

No, you don't need
to eat fast food, okay?

What do you think, Sarah,
healthy or junk?

Just say junk.
Just say junk, it's fine.

-Just say junk.
-Junk, because then
I don't feel as bad.

Gotta do it now, Sarah said it.
Gotta do it now.

Fine. Okay.

I suggest the giant,
hot cinnamon roll.

No. Stop it.

-It's what I think
you should get.
-Stop it! Okay.

-It was so good seeing
you, Sarah.
-You too.

I'll be right there, okay?

You heading back now?

We're gonna check out
a few more things in town,
then head back tonight.

Nice. She's such a sweetheart.

-Yeah, she's all right.
-[chuckles]

When will you be up again?

Hmm... You know, soon.

What?

Just wondering how much
longer we're gonna do this.

What do you mean?

You out of town,
only talking on the phone,

-maybe seeing you
different weekends.
-Eh...

I know, I...

She just needs a lot of
help right now, you know?

-I don't know what else to do.
-I know.

Does she think this is
permanent?

Are you trying
to make this permanent?
Because you told me--

No, I... [clicks tongue]

[sighs]

It's not. It's not.

Sucks not seeing you.

Sucks not seeing you too.

Hope I can see you again soon.

Me too.

[Stephen]
They're cool, aren't they?

Yeah. I like 'em.

They're, like, so big.

It's like oddly comforting.

[scoffs] I don't know.

Glad you came up with me.

Me too.

What made you leave?

What do you mean?

Growing up, when you left town.

What made you do it?

Wow, that's, uh,
quite a question.

I don't know, just...

that town, people...

What?

Did Mom ever tell you
about your dad?

No, not really.

My dad died when I was like two.

Then your dad came on the scene.

He used to treat me
and Mom like shit.

He never wanted kids.

He let me know that
plenty of times.

They fought all the time.

And even when things got bad,
and they got really bad,

Mom still didn't leave.

I don't know why.

Eventually he got Mom
pregnant with you.

And that's when he bailed.

Jackass.

Sorry.

Don't be.

When I got older,
I just went off the deep end.

Did a lot of stupid things,

hung out with
the wrong people and...

eventually I got
that girl pregnant.

Amy.

I told myself, though, I'm...

I'm not gonna be like
my stepdad.

After Amy got that abortion
it woke me up.

I was living like an idiot.

After we split,

I just looked at my life
completely different.

Is that when
you decided to leave?

Yeah.

When Mom died, I was gonna
try to come back, but...

Michelle took you in,
and it seemed like things
were gonna be okay.

I never meant to leave
you guys, I just--

No, I get it. Really.

I used to be so angry at my dad.

I still am, honestly.

Angry at a guy
I didn't even know.

All I knew is that
he didn't want me.

But no matter how angry you are,

no matter how much you tell
yourself you don't care,

you still just want
somebody to care.

Yeah.

You know what?

This is your dad.

Screw you!

[laughing]

Come on.

Come on!

Yeah, throw it.
Throw it, throw it.

Who needs you?

We never needed you!

-You suck!
-You're just a coward!

What kind of jackass
leaves their family?

You're a sad, sorry,
flying sack of shit!

[chuckles]

-Whoo!
-Whoo!

-Yes!
-Yes!

[Sarah] Oh...

[both screaming]

Ohh!

Oh...

Come on, up top. Up top.

-That was-- That was--
-Ow.

-[chuckles]
-Oh.

Oh, dude. Okay.

All right. Let's go home.

[chuckles]

I got work in the morning.

First day at that new office.

That's right.

How do you feel?

It'll be good.

There's a lot
of good people there.

It'll be fine.

[engine starts]

Hey, do you know
where the manager is?

Yeah, he's right over there.

Oh, okay. Thanks.
[sucking teeth]

[man chatting indistinctly]

If you'd just hire somebody,
I'd do it.

It's not really
that big of a deal,
or it doesn't have to be.

That wasn't my fault either,
and you know that. Oh!

Okay, here's what I'm gonna do.

Okay, Dad. Dad, Dad.

[clears throat]

You are strong.

You are capable.

You are your own man.
[clears throat]

Oh, you must be
the new guy? Uh, Sam?

-Uh, Stephen.
-Right. Bryce.

-Cool. Good to meet you, man.
-Nice shirt.

Oh, thanks. I love this shirt.

We have a uniform here.
We wear polos.

Not, uh... that.

Oh, up in Cottonwood,
we just kinda like wore
whatever, you know.

-It was really fun.
-[chuckles]

Yeah, but this isn't Cottonwood,
and you know that.

Ahh! We wear polos here.

Uh... okay.

Um... Anyway, I don't know
if John said something,
but he let me transfer down here

-because my sister's
in the area.
-Mm-hmm.

And she just had a baby
recently,

and I'm gonna be
helping her with a lot of stuff.

Random things come up a lot,
so some flexibility
would be really helpful, man.

-I'd appreciate it.
-Ah!

I'm not thinking so.
I know you're very good
at what you do.

John mentioned
that plenty... [sighs] of times.

But even though he's the CEO,
this is still my branch.

I can't have you just
wandering off all the time.

We run a pretty tight ship here.
Yeah, but that's great, though.
How old's the little kid?

Uh... about six weeks.

I'm gonna have Robert come
and he's gonna show you to your
desk. You need to work, okay?

Robert, come on. [claps hands]

There he is, the prince himself.

Ha ha.

Rob-- Don't touch me.

Robert, could you show
Stefan here to his desk
so we can get to work?

Oh, and make sure you
get him a new uniform,

so he's not looking
quite so sloppy, right?

Have a good first day, Stefan.

-It's Stephen.
-[Bryce] Uh-huh.

Ready?

-Sure.
-Right this way.

Okay.

Yes. Yes.

Thank you for your business.
Okay, okay.

[sales chatter in background]

Oh, my gosh, yes.
We appreciate your business
so much. Thank you.

Do I have to be in the corner?

[Robert] Here you go.

This is also for you.

It belongs to the company,
but it's what you're
gonna be using.

Oh, it's all good, man.
I have one.

It's specific to the branch.
You have to use it.

Bryce says so.

Uh, okay.

Hey.

Bryce seems kinda like... blech.

Huh?

Bryce, just like,
what a douche bag, right?

-Never mind, dude.
-Great.

Um, if you have any questions,
please let me know.

Okay.

Thanks, Robert.

[acoustic guitar playing]

-[baby crying]
-Sarah.

Can you please take her, please?

-Can you give me a second?
-Seriously?

No, I'm so sorry, Stephen.

I'll just be two minutes, okay?
I'm so sorry.

[baby screaming]

Shh! Shh! Shh!

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

Wait, aren't you free today?
I thought you could watch her.

Sarah, I'm literally about
to leave in 20 minutes.

-Why? Do you have work
or something?
-Yeah, I do.

-Why are you just
telling me now?
-Stephen. I'm sorry, okay?

My boss called me in this
morning, and I really can't miss
another day.

Sarah, you can't just
drop a bomb on me like this
last minute.

-Stephen, I know. I'm sorry.
Just today.
-I have to get to work.

-What do you want me to do?
-Please?

Okay. It's fine.
I'll figure it out, here.

[Sarah] Thank you. I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize.

-Hey.
-Thank you so much, Michelle.

-Hey, no big deal.
-Here.

I hate to just drop her and run,
but I gotta get to work.

-It's okay.
-All right, thank you.

[Michelle] Hi.

-[phone buzzing]
-[sales agents chatting]

Hey, what's up?

He keeps wanting to get
drinks with me this weekend,

and it's like, "Dude,
we did that last weekend.

Let's try to keep things
a little bit professional."

-[Stephen chatting]
-You know...

I know. I've bought them
like a hundred times.

It'll be fine.

[snapping fingers]

Hey, I gotta go.

Gotta limit
those personal calls, bud.

Yeah. Sorry, man.
It was just my sister,
she needed help with something.

Just really gotta limit
those personal calls.
Tight ship, remember?

She shouldn't be distracting you
with whatever her problems are,
you know?

[chuckles]

-Okay.
-Yeah.

Oh, how are those designs
going for CI Tech?

They want that soon.

Great.

Hmm.

Good, I'm glad.

Glad to hear it.

[phone chirps]

[Stephen] Hmm.

[camera shutter clicks]

Blech.

Hmm.

Oh, I was just getting
a pouty face thing for Rachel.

Okay. I got you.

-Okay.
-Yeah?

-Hmm.
-No, hold it higher. Like that.

[humming back and forth]

[camera shutter clicks]

-How's that?
-Yeah, it's a good one.

-It's good? Okay.
-I like it. It's a good one.

-Hmm. Thanks.
-Mm-hmm.

[birds singing]

Hey, can I borrow some money?

For what?

Uh, just for a few things
for the baby.

Hmm, like what? We just got
some stuff earlier this week.

Yeah, I know, but she
goes through things fast,

and I wanted to get her, like,
a stroller or something.

[sighs] Sarah, I...

I don't just have
infinite money, you know?

[sighs] I took a pay cut
coming down.

I'm still getting everything
else for her.

I still got my lease
on my other apartment.

-I can't just keep pulling
money from nowhere dude.
-You're right. Sorry I asked.

Sarah, it's fine.

It's fine.
We can get a stroller.

-[women chatting, laughing]
-[sitcom on TV]

Sarah, are you kidding?
Come on, dude.

It was crazy out there.
They couldn't stop me.

-[ringtone chiming]
-One second.

Dad, I can't do this right now.

[phone buzzing]

-Hey, what's going on?
-I tried calling,
but you didn't pick up.

-Yeah, I can't pick up at work.
-I have a huge test tonight
and I forgot to study.

-I need someone to watch her.
-You want me to watch her
right now?

-No, but can you watch her
later? What time you get off?
-Can we talk about this later?

-Stephen, no, please. I need
to pass this test.
-No, you'll be fine. Trust me.

-I believe in you so much.
You got this.
-Please, Stephen. Stop!

[sighs] Gosh.

-That your sister?
-Yeah, sorry.

She just needed help
with something, and I
can't take personal calls.

Whatever it was, it could
have waited, though, right?

Is there really
that big of a deal?

Tight ship.
Tight ship, remember?

I really need you hammering out
that project; she needs to learn
how to handle her own issues.

-Leave my sister out of this.
-I'm just saying, I need you
to focus when you're here, huh?

-Why are you busting my balls?
-I'm not busting anything.

Okay, running a company
just isn't easy, and we need
everybody fully present.

I just need people who won't
undermine my authority,

but people who respect me,
like everyone else here.

Is that it?

Yes.

Yeah.

[Bryce giving pep talk,
clapping hands]

[baby crying]

-Sarah.
-I know.

-Your baby is crying.
-I get it, okay, I'm sorry.

-She'll go to bed in a minute.
-I have work at seven, dude,
three hours from now.

What am I supposed to do?

Sarah, have you seen my laptop?

[Sarah] Seen what?

My laptop, my work laptop.
Have you seen it?

Oh. Yeah, it's
literally right over here.

[softly] Shit. Shit.

-Sarah?
-[clattering]

Sarah, what happened?
What...?

-What happened?
-I am so sorry.

-What? What in the world, dude?
-I was putting formula in
the bottle and it spilled over.

-Why did you have it
next to the laptop?
-I wasn't thinking.

-Yeah, apparently.
Why were you even using it?
-Can't you fix it or something?

You want me to fix this? Huh?

What am I supposed to do?
Gosh, dude. Oh...

Uh... Maybe someone at work
can get the hard drive back.
I don't know.

And why did you let me
sleep in, huh?

-You knew I had to get up
this morning.
-What am I, your mom?

-Are you kidding me?
-Stephen, I'm sorry. Okay?

Oh, gosh, dude.
I gotta get outta here.

How? How, how? Why?

[sales agents chatting]

Where have you been?
I've been looking
for you all morning.

Look, man.
It was a late night, I--
It won't happen again, okay?

Yeah. It better not, okay?
I need to see those designs
for CI Tech.

They're due by the end of
the day.

You told me they weren't due
for a few weeks.

Well, they must have mixed
something up or something.

I need to see where we are now.

Okay. All right,
I'll get on it. Okay?

-I need to see them now.
Give me your laptop.
-Look...

-Something happened, okay?
-What's wrong with it?

I just...

What the hell is this?

It's fine.
The designs are on the hard
drives you took yesterday, okay?

-The ones I formatted?
-You formatted them?
Why?

-Well, do you have them
anywhere else?
-Where else would they be?

How many backups
am I supposed to have?

I don't know. You tell me.
It's your responsibility.

Now you get to explain
to CI Tech why you don't have
their designs.

-Because you screwed up.
-This isn't my fault.

-You need to learn how to be
more clear about these things.
-How did you even get this job?

You're the most
incompetent, insecure prick
I've ever met in my entire life.

What, did someone just
hand you this job, because--

Don't you dare. Don't you dare.

My dad might have founded
this company, yes.

But I got this job because
I'm qualified, okay?

And, hey,
at least when I'm here,
I'm fully committed, right,

not constantly distracted
by some screw-up of a kid.

How old is your sister? 17, 18?
What a way to start your life!

Hey! Don't talk
about my sister like that.

Why don't you just run
on back to your desk

and sort out this mess
you got yourself into?

-I got a better idea.
-What's that?

Why don't you get your daddy
to sort this out for you?

Wasn't he the one
that got you this job, huh?

'Cause there's no way
you got this on your own.

Just hop on the phone
with Dad like you always do.

Just cry to Daddy, and--

[Bryce groaning]

Piece of shit! [grunting]

[shrieks]

Uggh!

Hey. Don't bother
coming into work tomorrow.
'Cause you're fired.

Yeah, I quit.

[employees murmuring]

[groans] Back to work.

What are you looking at, Robert?

[engine idling]

[engine stops]

[sighs]

[softly] Oh, gosh.

-[door opens]
-[Sarah] Hey.

You're home early.

How come?

Something stupid happened
at work, I-- I don't know.

Oh, no. Was it because
of what happened this morning?

-Don't worry about it, okay?
-I am so sorry, Stephen.

That was so bad.
I didn't mean for--

Sarah. It's fine.

They didn't fire you, did they?

I... I don't know what happened.
It was...

It was insane. I can't
even begin to explain it.

-Well, what happened?
-Please don't worry
about it, okay?

-It's fine.
-Well, do you still have a job?

Sarah, I literally just
walked in the front door.

I haven't had a chance
to think about anything, okay?

It's just,
I don't know what we're gonna
do if you're not working.

Yeah, I get that.
Can you just give me a minute
please, to process this? Okay?

Just...

get this stupid
work uniform off.

It'll be fine, okay?

[phone buzzing]

Hey, John.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't know. It was...

Yeah, it was crazy.

Yes.

Monday?

Yeah, yeah. No, I can be there.

Mm-hmm.

Absolutely.

Okay.

All right, yeah.
I'll see you Monday.

Thanks, John. Okay.

-Hey.
-Hey.

History, your favorite.

-Cool. Nice. Nice, nice.
-Yeah.

Hey, I'm gonna head home
this weekend.

Oh, you're leaving me?

-Yeah.
-Sorry. No.

I just have to take care
of some stuff.

Yeah. No, no.
It's fine, I'm joking.

-I'm gonna leave here in a bit.
-Yeah, sorry.

That's funny.
That's funny, that's funny.

Okay.

Hey, I... I just...

I'm really sorry about
what happened this morning.
I feel really bad.

-Don't worry about it.
-No, I--

No, it's fine, seriously.

-Stuff happens.
-I feel awful.

No, just an accident,
so what are you gonna do?

-Yeah. Um...
-Okay.

Well, have a good weekend.
Say hi to Rachel and stuff.

-Yeah, definitely.
-Yeah.

Have fun studying.

Yeah. I'll try.

Cool. Cool, cool. All right.

Okay, see ya.

Bye.

[baby cooing]

[camera shutter clicks]

[Hannah] Oh, she is perfect.

[newscast on TV]

Babe, say something.

Yeah, she's cute.

She's adorable.

-Can I hold her?
-Of course.

Hi. Oh, I know.

Oh, I'm sorry. I know.

Ah.

Hello.

[Stephen] Oh, my gosh, dude.
I freaking love this movie.

It's perfect. Holy cow.

The part where she just
jumps up and lands on his face.

In the dance, and just her
crotch is right in his face.

Oh, my gosh, dude.
It's so good, man.

-I freaking love it so much.
-Oh, stop.

Blech!

[chuckles]

Ah, so good.

When are you heading back?

[Stephen clicks tongue] Hmm...

Like, Monday sometime, I think.

Stephen, I'm confused.

Okay.

When are you coming back?

I don't know.

I know you don't know,
and that's the problem.

I knew this whole thing
was gonna be insane.
I don't know why--

Rachel, I had to do something,
you know?

I know. I think it's great
you're trying to help.

It's just that this whole thing
wasn't thought through at all.

-I tried to tell you that.
-I know it's confusing, okay?

I'm sorry. I'm confused.

I couldn't just, what,
let her get rid of her kid?

-It would've killed me, Rachel.
-I know.

I don't know what else I
could have done, you know?

She was completely resolved.
She wouldn't listen
to anything I would say.

-I know, Stephen. I'm just--
-And at the end of the day,
she had her baby.

What would've happened
if I wouldn't have stepped in?

-Stephen, I know.
-But you're right, this whole
thing's becoming a mess.

And it's, like,
living in that town,

and that house, and work,
and trying to raise a baby.

-And just the whole--
-Stephen!

I'm not saying
you shouldn't have helped.

This is just hard. Okay?

I know.

Look.
I'll figure this out, okay?

Okay.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

You know, you and the baby
can come by any time.

[Sarah] Yeah.

You're sure she's...

she's not, you know...?

No. No, she's not yours.

Cool.

She's just, uh...

she's a cute kid.

Thanks.

Man, you should have just,
like, slammed Bryce's face
right into the laptop.

Just in the laptop,
just close it on his head.

"You like
those designs, huh?"

"You like the designs?"
Rubbing his face into the keys.

Dude, don't tempt me. Oh, man.

Dude, like, what now?

[sighs] John offered me
a job back here.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I mean, with everything
that happened,

technically Bryce
is the one that, like,

came after me,
attacked me, whatever happened.

Plus he was already
on thin ice with John.

Robert called him and told him
everything that happened.

-Who?
-Nobody. Never mind.

Well, dude, that's great.

Yeah.

-What?
-I don't know, man.

Just Sarah and the baby...

I don't know what to do.
I don't wanna just
leave them, but...

it's killing me being
down there, man.

I'm sure it is.

It's a crazy situation
you're in, man.

Yeah, I know. I know. I get it.

Well, when does John
need an answer?

As soon as possible.

I just, I don't know.
I feel cornered.

I feel like I can't win.

What?

This whole situation's been
weird from the beginning, man.

And I don't know how
healthy it is.

Like, I've seen how
being down there affects you.

There's reasons
why you left, right?

I don't know, man.

Maybe Sarah's all right.

Maybe she'll be okay
without you.

Were you really gonna
stay there forever?

I don't know, I would just
prefer not to see you
fall back into--

Yeah, I get it, man.

[Sarah] Hey.

Hey. I wanted to talk to you.

[zips bag]

So, something really cool
has come up.

An opportunity opened up
at my old office.

You mean up in Cottonwood?

Yeah. Yeah,
they really need me back.

And they're gonna pay more,
like a lot more.

This will really help
with the baby, you know?

Why would you take
a job up there?

Well, after
what happened at work,

I don't have
a job down here anymore.

I have to do something.

No, I get that,
but why couldn't you
find a job that's closer?

Like what? There's
nothing really around here.

Okay.

So you would have to move back.

I mean, couldn't you commute
or something?

Three hours?

Are you coming back?

-For what?
-For what?

Sarah, this is a good thing.
This is really gonna help us.

-You said that you'd be here.
-I know. This is
how I'm doing that.

-No, here.
-Sarah, what do you
want me to do?

I can't keep doing this, okay?

Besides, I said
I'd help you get on your feet,
not stay here for good.

Okay, well, I still
need your help.

You can't just ditch me.
This is how you tell me?

I'm not just ditching you.
You know I can't stay here
forever.

I mean, come on, Sarah.
This whole thing's
not working, okay?

I can't keep staying
in this house.

I've got nothing
and no one down here.

My whole life is back home.

This whole thing is just crazy.

-This was your idea.
-I know it was. I know.

And you know what? You also said
that we'd be a family.

We are a family, and I'm
trying to take care of us.

-By just bailing.
-I'm not just bailing, Sarah.

-I'm doing the best I can.
-By bailing.

-Come on.
-Just get out of here!

-Sarah, don't be like that.
-[baby crying]

I'll stay in touch, okay?

And when I start my job,
I can start sending money down.

You know, and you have Michelle
to help, and your roommates.

-And this will just work out.
-Forget it.

-Sarah, it's gonna be fine.
-Just leave.

-[baby crying]
-[door closes]
-Sarah!

[crying continues]

[door closes]

[starts engine]

-[acoustic guitar playing]
-[baby crying]

[Brittany, banging wall]
Is she going down soon?

Yes, give her a minute.

Thanks again, Michelle.
I really appreciate it.

It's fine.
Look, this week's
a little crazy, though.

So I might not be able
to take her very much.

There's a daycare up the street.
Why don't you check with them?

Sure. Thank you.

Yeah, I'm mainly
just looking for someone

to watch her during the week,
because I work and I
go to school and stuff.

[woman] Of course.
Now, do you need
full-time care?

-Yeah.
-Okay, great.

So just so you know, full-time
care starts at 1200 a month.

If you'd like, I can set up
a time for you to come in
and check it out.

[music continues]

[roommates whispering]

[phone chimes]

[baby cooing]

[Sarah laughing]

[relaxing vocals
over TV audio]

Sarah.

Hey, is it okay if we start
to clear some of this stuff off,

because we have
people coming over tonight?

Sorry. I know. I'm just...

And that smell?
Where is it coming from?

I literally just
changed her diaper, I'm sorry.

-Don't leave it on the table.
That is so gross!
-I'm sorry!

-Just tell us so we can help.
-I get it. I'm sorry!

Do you know how hard this is?

[baby screaming]

Shh! Shh! Shh!
It's okay, it's okay.

[Michelle] Sarah, I'm sorry.
I can't today.

-The kids are outta control.
-But I thought you could.

My roommates can't,
and I need to go to work.

Guys, what did I tell you?

Hey, I gotta go. Sorry.

No, Michelle.
Please don't go yet!

Are you sure this is okay?

Yes, I'm positive. You go.

-[Sarah] Thank you so much.
-You are welcome.

Now go on. I got her.

♪ We are lost, just lookin'
For an open door ♪

I am so sorry.
I thought I had someone
else to babysit her.

Look, I know you got
a lot going on, but I got
a business to run here.

-Hey. What's up?
-Hey. Look, I'm so sorry
to do this to you,

but I can't cover rent
for you this month.

-I know.
-I know it's been hard for you.

I'm sorry, I've been getting
all this stuff for the baby,
and I can't.

Okay, just please get it to me
as soon as you can.

[Lauren] You have to
get her under control.

It is two in the morning.
I have work in the morning,
and you know what?

This isn't working!

[baby crying]

[crying continues]

-[roommates arguing]
-[Lauren] I don't know, can you
just go stay with somebody?

[Sarah] No.
Who else would I stay with?

[roommates all shouting
at once]

[Lauren] You living here
in my parents' house
with us is not working out.

[Sarah] You know what?
Forget it.

Ow.

[sighs]

[contemplative music playing]

[line ringing]

[phone buzzing]

Eeee!

-Who's that?
-Uh, nobody.

-Dude, where's Alex?
-I don't know, man. He, like--

[voicemail] Your call has been
forwarded to an automated
voice messaging system.

[Stephen and friend
chatting indistinctly]

[friend]
I used to like hot food, but
it just screws with my stomach.

So, I don't know, I'm probably
just gonna stick to salads
or something like that.

Oh, that's him right there.

Oh, man. Finally.

[contemplative music playing]

[wind whistling]

Screw you!

[contemplative music continues]

[engine starts]

[Stephen] Dude, she scared me
so freaking bad 'cause
I'm like in my own world.

And then I turn around
when she says that
like a cornered rat.

I was just like... [grunts]

Then it was love at first sight.

Yes. It was love
at first sight, right?

That's the first time
you guys met?

-And not much has changed.
-No.

Yeah. And that's totally
when you got her number, right?

I was like, "Hey, you're totally
into panic attacks, right?"

Wait, wait, wait.
Remember that little kid?

Oh, oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So as I'm going off,
before Rachel gets there,

this little girl walks by.

She's like, "Mommy,
what that man doing?"

[laughter]

-And her mom is just like,
"Sweetie, keep walking."
-Keep walking.

-Keep on moving.
-"Just ignore that freak."

Speaking of kids,
how's Sarah and her baby doing?

Um... uh...

-Good.
-Yeah?

Yeah, um. Good, I think.

You should have her
over again sometime.

Yeah, that'd be fun.
She's so sweet.

-Yeah.
-Totally.

Yeah, that would be fun.
Yeah, it'd be cool.

Hey, have you heard
from Sarah recently?

Um... Yeah. We stay in touch
now and then, you know.
Why do you ask?

Just thinking of her,
when Joel mentioned something.

You really think
she's doing all right?

Yeah. Why wouldn't she be?

Just asking. I know
she has a lot on her plate.

I'm sure it's tough.

Sure.

But, I mean, I'm sure
she's handling it well.

She's a pretty tough cookie.

Yeah. It's still a lot, though.

-What do you mean?
-Just that I bet it's tough.

Sure, but I bet she's
handling it well. [chuckles]

Yeah. That's what you said.

Do you think I was making it up?

I didn't say that.

Okay.

You don't have to get defensive.

No, it's just not
like I don't care about her.

Who said that?

Nobody.

Hey. I'm not
accusing you of anything.

Maybe it would just be
good to check in on her.

Yeah.

Yeah. You know what? It would.

Maybe I could go down and
see her after work tomorrow.

-Yeah, she'd love to see you.
-Oh, I know she'd love
to see me.

-I love seeing me. Hmm? Mm-hmm.
-Yes, you do.

[heavy metal playing]

[kick drum thumping]

-Hey.
-Hey.

[deep voice] Is Sarah here?
[chuckles]

Um... no.

Do you know
when she'll be back?

So, Sarah actually
doesn't live here anymore.

She doesn't...?

Stephen.
Oh, you're looking for Sarah.

Yeah.
She doesn't live here anymore.

Oh, okay.

Um... Do you guys know
where she is?

-The hell if I know.
-[Brittany] Where
is the straightener?

Brittany, it is under the sink!

Sorry. Um...

Maybe someone at work
knows where she is?

-I guess.
-Yeah, okay.

-Sorry.
-No, that's okay.

Yeah, thanks. Okay.

Bye.

[voicemail] At the tone,
please record your message.

-[beep]
-Hey, dude. It's been forever.

I'm in town, and I wanted
to swing by and see you.

So, just checking in on you,
seeing where you are.

Let me know and we can
hang out, catch up.

It'll be fun. So...

Yeah, call me back. Okay, bye.

[doorbell jingles]

-Hey, excuse me.
-Hi.

Hey, have
you seen Sarah recently?

Um... no.

-No?
-We haven't seen her in months.

She hasn't stopped by,
no calls, nothing.

-Uh... really?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Uh... okay.

-Thanks.
-[taps countertop] Yeah.

[party music pounding
in distance]

[music growing louder]

Having a good time?

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Sarah? Sarah?

Yo, yo, yo.

-Hey. What's going on?
-Hey. What's up, man?

Hey, hey. Have you seen Sarah
around here?

Sarah, yeah.
She's here somewhere.

-Somewhere? Do you know where?
-No, man.

Okay, it's cool.
All right, fine. Thanks, man.
All right.

Stephen? Hey.

Hey. Hey, have you seen Sarah?

-She's around here somewhere.
-Do you know where?

-I don't know.
-Oh, okay. That's fine.
I'll find her.

Hey, Sarah? [knocking]

Sarah, Sarah?
Hey, are you in there?

Hey, Sarah?

Hey, Sarah,
are you in there? Sarah?

Sarah?

Stephen, what the hell?

-What's going on?
-You gotta chill.

Shut your mouth.

I tried calling.
I went to your house, your job.

-Get out of here!
-Sarah, why
wouldn't you respond?

And where's the baby?

-Look, man. I'll--
-Jason, get out.

I'm just trying to explain
she was the one
that came onto me.

I swear if you don't
get outta here right now,

I am gonna beat
your ass to death.

Stephen, you can't just
barge in here and freak out.

-I'm trying to figure out
what's happening.
-Leave!

-What is happening
and where's the baby?
-Oh, like you care.

-I'm trying to look out for her.
-Oh, you're looking out for her?

-I am, Sarah. Where is she?
-Get out!

Sarah, where is she?

[party music continuing]

[indistinct chatter, laughter]

-[music stops]
-[chatter subsides]

Hey. Excuse me, everybody.

Get your attention? Cool.

Has anybody here seen
a small human?

Little baby girl,
probably about this big
or so, really cute eyes?

Anybody? Anybody? Anybody?
Baby? Come on.

Someone? You?

I've seen a baby before.

Great. Anyone else?

-Baby? Someone? Anybody?
-What the hell
are you doing here?

-Tell me what's going on.
-Tell me why you're here.

-Sarah, I want to know
where your child is.
-You don't even care.

-You're at this party
screwing around...
-Fuck you!

-[door slams]
-Okay. That was
a little awkward.

But you know what?
You guys have a great night.

Keep rocking on.
Seems like a lot of fun. Okay.

-I'm out, all right.
-[door slams]

[murmuring]

What the hell was that?
Why are you even here?

-Do you live here now?
-What's it matter to you?

Are you kidding me?
You're raising a kid in that?

-Where is she?
-She's fine.
She's with a friend.

-Who? Well, what does that mean?
-Why are you here?

I couldn't get ahold of you.
You wouldn't pick up your phone.

I go to your house,
and you're kicked out.

You're not showing up at work.
And are you using again?

-Don't you start with me.
-Why didn't you tell me
this was happening?

-Oh, like you care?
-I do care. Now, come on.
We're gonna go get her.

-What?
-We're gonna go
get your child, okay?

-You can't just order me around.
-I'm not ordering you around.

I'm trying to take care
of your kid,

because I don't know what you're
doing, living in this shit.

-Now come on.
-Come on and what?
Go get her, and then what?

-What are you gonna do?
Where are you gonna go?
-We'll figure it out.

No, we won't figure it out.
And you want to know why?

Because you don't
think through anything.

If you don't come with me
right now, I'm gonna
make a scene again.

Go ahead.

You know what? Fine.
I'll go get her.

-Where are you gonna go?
-I'll find her.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

You better not go get my kid.
Don't you dare.

What is happening, Sarah?

I come back,
and you're living with them.

And, what, your baby's
with just some random person?

What is going on?
What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

I've been busting my ass
every single day,

trying to take care
of a human being.

I've been trying to go to
school, work, and raise a kid.

Life is just how I said
it was gonna be.

So sue me if I try
to have some time to myself
every once in a while.

-Well, you chose this.
-Oh, I chose this.

You think I wanted this?

I didn't wanna have a kid
in the first place,

but who's the one
that rode me day and night,

telling me it was
the right thing to do?

Who was the one that
constantly preached at me,
saying it was a life?

Who's the one
that said they'd be there
with me every step of the way?

You, Stephen, you!

This was so fucking
important to you.

But where were you, huh?

You think a text
once a week, maybe,

or just throwing money
in my face changes our lives?

You call that a family?

I love that kid,
more than I thought I would,

and I was actually excited,
I was excited to raise her
with someone,

and I thought you were too.

But guess what? Here we are.

I'm officially a single mom,
barely even keeping
myself alive.

My life changed forever,

while you got to float away
and do God knows what.

What was this for, Stephen, huh?

Fixing some failure
in your past?

At what? My expense?

This was all about you,
wasn't it?

Well, I guess you won,
didn't you?

We did the right thing.
You did the right thing.

Thank God for Stephen,
savior of the unborn.

But you know what?

You never really thought
about us, did you?

You didn't really care.

And when it really mattered,
you ran away.

You're just like my dad!

Just like every other
shitty man in my life,

running away, abandoning me,

leaving me to figure it out
all on my own?

Okay, I'm trying.
I'm really trying
to be a good mom.

I know she deserves
so much more,
and I wanna give it to her.

I wanna give her
everything I can.

But all she gets
is no dad and a shitty mom.

It was so important
to you that I had that kid.

But you didn't want
anything to do with us.

Some family.

[somber music playing]

[groans]

[traffic passing]

God help me.

[dog barking]

Hey.

You have a second to talk?
Just real--

[sighs]

-[door opens]
-[gate opens, man calling dog]

What?

Sarah.

I was so stupid.

I never meant for any of this.

-I can't even begin--
-Please.

Look, I had an idea.

I really thought
through this, okay?

I'm not saying
this fixes everything,

or what I did.

But I'd love for you guys
to come stay with me.

I know it's not much,

but it could
get you outta this place,

you know?

It could really help you get
on your feet with everything.

I'm placing her.

What?

I'm placing her.

It's called, like, delayed
parenting or something.

Some other family's
gonna take her,

and if I meet certain criteria,
I can have her back.

I need to get my shit together.

Oh.

Okay.

Sarah.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna take her today...

to the family
she's gonna be with.

You can follow me there
if you want.

Okay.

Yeah, sure.

[rooster crowing in distance]

-Hi.
-Hi.

-Thanks.
-Yeah.

Offer still stands.
If you need a place to live,
you can come stay with me.

-Could be a good thing--
-Cool.

[engine starts]

[door opens, closes]

[phone buzzes]

[knocks on door]

-Hey.
-Hey.

Can I stay here, just for
a few nights or whatever?

I just need to clear my head.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

[Stephen] Hey, you can
actually come over here.

[mystical music playing]

I hope it's okay.

I guess I'm taking
the couch again.

I can move everything
if you want.

No. It's okay.

You hungry?

Sure.

[dishes clattering,
patrons chatting]

[somber music playing]

Hey. Hey.

It's gonna be okay, all right?
It's gonna be all right.

It's okay.
