[instruments playing]
As high school seniors celebrate
graduation this weekend,
many locals who fear
the fateful curse of the lake
will hold their male teens
close by.
The legend dates back
to when indigenous people
considered the water
of Lake Ronkonkoma sacred.
Four of the thirteen long
island tribes: the Setaukets,
the Nissaquogues,
the Secatogues and the Corchaugs
share a shoreline
as a common fishing station
and meeting place for Sachem.
Some believe the spirit
of a broken hearted native teen
haunts the lake in search
of her lover who drowned.
Eric Schultz, an All State
swimmer from Sachem High School
lost his life one year ago
while swimming
in the lake with friends.
Eric was said to follow
in the footsteps of his father,
Adam Schultz,
and his grandfather,
retired fire chief Andy Hart.
[birds chirping]
I'm worried about Adam.
It's a tough day.
[seagulls squawking]
- MIKE: I'll have a Heineken.
- BECCA: Water's good for me.
I can drive you
to the high school.
Do I look like
I need a designated driver?
You know I haven't touched
this stuff in a year.
You still have time.
Let us take you there.
I'm fine. I can drive myself.
Shouldn't you two be out?
I have extra
safety patrol on it.
I-I'm off duty.
Well, I-I gotta go to the deli
to prep
for the graduation party.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Swimming, boating,
fishing are prohibited.
Do you believe
that there's a connection
between your son's death
and the Ronkonkoma curse?
No, I believe it was an accident
and people should obey the law.
Why, though, close the lake
for the entire season?
The lake is dangerous.
- DONNA DRAKE: How so?
- The ecosystems have changed,
pollution has changed
what the lake once was,
dark areas and deep waters
make it impossible
to differentiate
between up and down and...
a person struggling...
DONNA: A-are you all right
to continue?
I'm fine.
Search and rescue can't see
more than six inches
in front of them.
We just--we just--
couldn't find him in time.
Uh, um, Grace, Grace,
um, let's go with this question.
Uh, what documentation does
the heritage association have
to validate the curse?
GRACE:
There is no documentation curse
or legend, for that matter.
Most of us who were born here
or lived here for generations
think it's hocus-pocus.
There are two versions, though.
I prefer
the Romeo and Juliet story.
Love is the most powerful
human emotion.
I believe
the lake is bottomless.
DONNA: Oh. [laughs]
Well, thank you both
for joining us
and a portion of the money
from the powwow
will be in the name
of Eric Schultz.
Uh, for more information
please go to our website.
Thank you for watching.
Do you believe
that there's a connection
between your son's death
and the Ronkonkoma curse?
No, I think it was an accident
and people should obey the law.
Can you lower that
or change the channel?
ADAM SCHULTZ: Stay away.
Stay out of and off the lake.
Let's--let's get you
out of here. Come on.
RADIO VOICE: Unit 141 over.
Male, eight years old,
possible anaphylactic shock,
difficulty breathing,
location, Lakoma Deli
111 Pine Grove. Over.
[radio beeps]
Unit 141, we are one mile away
en route. Over and out.
REPORTER:
In honor of Eric's memory,
the historic society
will be raising funds
at a powwow event
taking place
at the Shinnecock Reservation
later this summer.
The curse is believed
to be responsible
for the drownings
of one male each year.
This is what many refers to as
the Legend
of Princess Ronkonkoma.
I mean, you really k*lled it
today with your speech.
It sucks Jamie's parents
didn't come.
Yeah, I hear her mom's
not doing well, though.
[chuckles]
- RONNIE: Hey.
- Hey.
Thanks.
For coming, guys.
Wouldn't have missed it
for the world.
How's your mom?
Same.
I'm sorry.
You know better, Will.
You can't have candy
because of the nuts!
119 over 87.
You're perfect.
Do you feel better?
- Okay.
- Thank you.
[door bells jingle]
Okay, light with almond milk,
no sugar for...
How's Scott?
Keeping out of trouble?
This is the one
I have to worry about.
Well, I promised Andy
I'd have you home
by Jamie's lunch.
- Bye.
- Bye.
I can't believe this is the last
summer before you're leaving me.
Yeah.
I'm leaving you, this town,
this house...
I gotta get out of here.
And... out of this dress.
[chuckles]
The sooner the better.
Give me these.
[laughs]
I'm gonna miss you, Erwin.
So...
I... will see you
at the lake later.
But I can't stay late,
I have SAT prep.
Thanks, Erwin.
For what?
[Mia Schultz sobbing]
Uh, later.
[door creaking]
- [Mia crying]
- I got it.
ANDY: You sure?
[sobbing]
Your mom would've been proud
to hear your inspiring words.
Yeah, I guess.
Today's been rough.
I can do it, bacha.
[door opens and shuts]
How was it?
You didn't miss anything.
I'm just gonna run
upstairs for a minute.
You, uh, you don't have to wait
for me to start eating.
- You know you're--
- It's okay.
I'm sorry, though.
There's nothing to be sorry for.
GHOSTLY FEMALE VOICE:
[singsongy] Eric.
Eric...
Eric...
ADAM SCHULTZ: I heard
Jamie's speech was amazing.
She is so smart and beautiful.
She reminds me of you.
We need to tell her.
I need to tell her
how amazing she is.
I saw Gigi at Lakoma.
She was wearing
the graduation gift
that Eric gave her.
You remember? It's your...
your earrings
with the turquoise stones.
She--she even has
a blue streak in her hair.
[man laughing over loudspeaker]
- Oh, over. Over.
- Get it, get it, get it.
[cheering]
Gonzaga would be fun.
MAN: Did you play basketball?
[indistinct chatter]
[laughter]
[indistinct chatter]
Hot dogs are out!
WOMAN: Yay!
- Good job.
- Thanks, Mom.
[laughter]
[indistinct chattering]
It's going quite good.
I'm gonna get a doughnut.
How's it going?
Have a doughnut.
Hey, cheers.
One, two, three.
- Oh, right.
- Oh.
Okay, thanks.
[laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
- Do you need your inhaler?
- No, I think I'm good.
[chuckles]
[laughter]
- [speaks indistinctly]
- Yeah.
[indistinct chatter]
ADAM: Oh, thank you.
Oh, no problem. [chuckles]
Thank you.
[indistinct chatter]
Proud of you, bro.
Thank you.
I'm proud of you, too.
My mom...
[crickets chirping]
WOMAN: Woo, woo!
ALL: Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky!
Call it!
WOMAN: Woo!
- Yes!
- WOMAN: Yeah!
Come on, Eric.
Eric's the all-time champion.
[all cheering]
[clapping]
MAN: Good job, Eric.
[cheering]
[door closes]
[car engine starts]
[engine revving]
Why are you wearing that color?
You look like Santa's helper.
Well, I like it.
You two need to get a room.
Look, if you're not going
to get the booze, I will.
Are you kidding me?
You, inside, alone with her?
[scoffs]
Gigi said we have to wait
until she's alone.
And when'll that be?
- You good to close?
- Mm-hmm.
Hello? I'm outta here,
so are ya good to close?
Yeah, I got it.
If you need me, I'll be
at Parsnips or the firehouse.
All right, uh, sounds good.
Good night. Night, Mike.
Night.
[phone chimes]
We got it.
RONNIE: I don't like
that she still has your number.
Come on. Let's go.
Ugh, really?
Oh, my God.
Uh... [clears throat]
It was supposed to be just you.
Just chill, Gigi. It's cool.
The more hands,
the better it hits, my dear.
- [laughing]
- [bottles clanking]
Okay, that is more than enough
for one visit!
SCOTT: Um, the more the merrier.
And now you sound like an elf.
Will you be at the lake later?
GIGI: Uh, maybe.
Okay, more than enough.
Come on.
Nice earrings.
[snickers] Nice earrings.
[birds chirping]
Left to say
I'm better today
LIZZIE: Come down here,
dance with me!
But a part of me
Still hopes
Hopes for nothing changes,
life moves on
People don't change,
so I moved on now
Okay. I'll say it.
I'm not comfortable
having a party out here,
I mean, it's sacred ground.
I agree with Erwin.
I think it's a little weird,
even scary.
It has to be there,
and it has to be tomorrow night.
Eric would've wanted that.
It's how I wanna honor him,
and celebrate my...
our birthday.
Aren't you a little worried
about the curse?
I'm more concerned
about what your dad's gonna do
once he finds out
about this party.
He barely acknowledges
I even exist.
He has no clue about any party.
But what about the curse?
It's not really a curse.
It's this story
that's gotten messed up
over the years.
You know, funny thing is people
don't actually even believe it,
and they live here.
JULIA: How did it get messed up?
Well, this curse...
It says the spirit of Tahoma,
a native princess
returns every year
and takes the life of a young
man swimming in the lake.
They were in love,
just two teenagers
that wanted to be together.
Their love was forbidden.
[Tahoma's father speaking
in native language]
TAHOMA: Onacona!
[crying] Onacona!
ERWIN: It was
a Romeo and Juliet tragedy.
Her spirit searches
for her lost lover.
[indistinct distant singing]
[crickets chirping]
[ghostly singing]
[beep]
[login sound]
TAHOMA: [ghostly whispers] Eric.
Eric.
Eric.
[creepy groan]
[distorted voices shrieking]
[phone chimes]
[crickets chirping,
ghostly singing]
[phone chimes]
[touchscreen clicking]
[phone chimes]
[ghostly singing]
[phone chimes]
Jeez, Erwin.
[phone chimes]
- Who are you texting?
- No one.
[phone dings]
[distant crying]
WOMAN: Please.
[sobbing]
[doorknob rattles]
[pounding on door]
Mia!
Mia!
ADAM: Open the door!
Open the door, baby.
WOMAN: [whispering faintly]
Find me...
this way...
this way.
Let me help you with that.
We received the grant approval,
the board will match
funds raised at the event.
Oh, I'm grateful.
We all are.
You're doing a wonderful job
raising Gigi and Erwin.
They are my joy.
Easier grandparenting
than parenting, yes?
[both chuckling]
You do know all this information
is from your office.
And on your website.
Yes, I know,
but I'm old-fashioned, though.
Your grandfather's smile
beams so wide
when he speaks of you, so proud.
Majoring in social justice
with a concentration
in Native American studies?
So proud.
- Thank you.
- We're going to miss you.
Erwin will really, uh, miss you.
Professor?
Oh, Jamie. Come here.
[indistinct conversations,
laughter]
WOMAN:
Yeah, no mosquitoes.
Thank you, everyone.
GRACE: Same day,
same time next month.
It will be posted
on our website.
Gigi knows the website.
[phone buzzes]
Meeting your brother.
- Okay.
- Yeah.
I'll--I'll clean up.
Did we bore you?
No!
No, not at all, Grandpa.
It was good.
Really good.
Um, will you be home tonight?
I hope you'll honor
your father's wish.
Stay away
from the beach tonight.
No lake.
Wish? More like directive.
Yeah, just a bunch of us
are meeting up at the house.
Promise me you'll be safe.
And stay out of the lake.
Yeah, of course.
I'll--I'll be home tonight.
- Thanks, Grandpa.
- [chuckles]
[metal swings creaking]
WOMAN: [ghostly whispering]
Come play with me.
You wanna open it now?
Okay. I'll wait till later.
You know they say
it's bottomless.
The lake.
That all the algae and pollution
just really makes the visibility
go from dark to black.
They found Eric's body
in the Long Island Sound.
Near the Maritime College.
Near Throgs Neck Bridge.
I know where
the college is, Jamie.
It's just you haven't said
Eric's name in over a year.
Yeah, well..
my grandfather thinks
it's bad luck.
My mother refuses
to say Eric's name.
She fears
it'll call back his spirit.
Well, my grandfather said
when he was a kid
that he was able to throw
a penny into the lake
and still be able to see
the year on the penny.
My mother is the keeper
of his soul.
I still have that feeling.
After they stopped
the search and rescue...
...and it became
a search and recovery,
it feels like it just happened.
And what really sucks, is...
is the realization
that I'll never see him again.
Doesn't matter
how he came into our family.
He's my brother.
I don't remember my parents.
Gigi says she does,
but I really think
it's just because
Grace shows us videos
- over and over again.
- [chuckles]
I'm sorry, Erwin.
You're lucky
to have your grandmother.
Grace is the best.
Yeah.
You know,
maybe your dad's right.
You know, maybe we shouldn't
have the party at the lake
or on the beach where
the accident just happened.
We could just have it
in your backyard.
- [phone chimes]
- Um...
- I gotta go.
- Wait.
Oh, well,
I wanted to ask you something.
Okay! See you later!
Hey.
Hey, what are you doing here?
You haven't been
answering my texts.
I didn't get them.
What, are you stalking me?
I know you got them.
You left me on read.
I can't do this right now.
[indistinct singing over radio]
[door bells ring]
Thank you, Adam. We'll get this
house sold for you.
Thank you.
Hey.
What was that about?
We decided to list the house.
- Here. Let me help you.
- I got it.
You want a cup of coffee?
No.
Come on.
Have a drink with your old man.
Okay. Okay.
So, all three townships
have officially closed the lake.
Likely until after
fourth of July
and maybe not even
until after Labor Day.
But, you're more than welcome
to have a few friends over
when I'm out.
Your grandfather will be home
to check on your mom.
Where will you be?
I'm pulling a double shift.
Jamie, I'm serious.
Stay away from the beach.
Stay out of and off the lake.
Especially this weekend.
Right. This weekend.
Jamie.
Uh-huh.
Sure.
[giggle] Okay got it.
Would you put that
on my calendar, please?
Thank you.
[cellphone rings]
Hey, hon.
Yeah, day's good.
Just finishing up.
Okay.
Yes.
Scott will be home for dinner.
Okay.
Great. I'll see you later, okay?
Will?
Stay away from the edge
and don't go into the water!
[ghostly voice echoing]
Come play with me....
[howling]
Bye.
Will?
Will? Will?
Will?!
[crying] Oh! Will, no!
[car approaching]
[tires screech]
What are you doing?
You know you can't be playing
in the street!
It's super dangerous!
[crying and screaming] No!
Will!
- BECCA: It's okay, Claire.
- CLAIRE: Oh, my God!
Oh! Where were you?!
Oh, my God!
[voice echoing] Call it!
PEOPLE: Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!
[inhales sharply]
[distant ringing]
[inhales and exhales]
[pills rattling]
[inhales and exhales]
[loud thud]
WOMAN: [crying] Eric! Eric!
- [huffs] Eric!
- MAN: [voice echoing] Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
[woman sobbing]
MAN: [echoed voice] Dad.

WOMAN: [ghostly whisper]

MAN: [distant echoing voice]
Dad, please.
- MAN: Dad.
- WOMAN: I see you.
MAN: I'm right here.
This way. I'm right here.
I'm here!
[screaming] Eric!
[phone chimes]
[car door closes]
[engine starts]
- [car departs]
- [touchscreen clicking]
[messaging bloops]
- You think I don't see this?
- This time, we are casual!
No strings attached, Rocky!
Well, one year later,
I'm not the one
who's attaching strings
and messing around with them!
What is that supposed to mean?
I'm just saying it like it is!
Wh-what are you talking about?
You were the one
that cheated on me with Eric,
while Eric was dating Gigi,
and now you're messing around
with the sister!
You have no idea
what is going on.
Tell me then! What's going on?!
Gigi told me she saw you
and Jamie at the deli.
I'm not doing this right now.
[sniffles]
Okay.
JULIA: Erwin! Wait up!
[laughs]
Oh, my God. Guys.
I swear,
this sandwich gets better
every time I eat it.
[giggles]
- The Lacoma Deli sandwich.
- Mm-hmm.
The chipotle mayo.
You know what I'm talking about?
You gotta try it. Try it.
- No, no, I'm good.
- No, please, try it.
- One of you has to--
- I'll--I'll try it. [giggles]
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Try it.
Life-changing.
- Mmm.
- [laughing]
Oh, you got
a little right there.
[all laughing]
You two were made
for each other.
You've got this party started
without us.
Uh, you're not sweet enough.
Oh, those are
actually for dessert.
After we open Jamie's presents!
Now, this is a party! Yeah!
- [Lizzie laughs]
- ALL: Yay!
- SCOTT: Bro!
- [cheering]
Happy birthday, Jamie!
- Happy birthday, girl.
- I bring you --
- Whoo!
- Happy birthday!
- Thank you.
- [chatter and laughter]
GIGI: Little bit for you.
And some for you.
[laughter]
- You guys are so cute.
- [laughs]
- [indistinct conversations]
- GIGI: Oh, yeah.
I got you, girl.
Go. Go give this to Rocky.
He needs a lot of it.
[laughs]
I need some, too.
[chatter and laughter]
[laughter]
[cheering]
SINGER: It's funny
how everything changes
[laughs]
Jamie doesn't want a book
to remember this town.
She wants to forget it.
Jamie's going to school
for Native American studies.
Plus, this is
her ancestors' history,
the town's history.
Thank you, Erwin.
This is
a really thoughtful gift.
I love it.
What's the matter
with your boyfriend?
Hmm. He found out
Ronnie likes girls, too.
LIZZIE: Gigi...
I read that this lifeguard
witnessed 30 drownings
over his 32-year career
at the Pavilion Beach Club.
They all died.
They were all male.
JULIA:
Is that because of the curse?
No. It's because
the water's polluted
- and overgrown with algae.
- So?
So, anyone who goes under
has no chance in hell
to come back up.
ERWIN: Well...
it's a little more
complicated than that.
- [laughter]
- Show-off! Again? Really?
- [laughing]
- GIGI: What?
LIZZIE: [nervously laughs]
Oh, my God.
Gigi!
What is so funny?
She laughs when she's nervous.
Thanks for saving me. [giggles]
Is that a gift for Jamie?
Where'd you get that hat, Scott?
- You are so weird.
- That's so disrespectful.
Come on, look who's talking.
Talk about disrespect.
I mean, judge much? [scoffs]
- JULIA: I like your tattoo.
- Oh. [giggles]
You know, Henna is not
Native American, right?
It's an antique. I-I found it
in my parents' attic.
- I-I-It's a gift for you.
- [laughter]
Here. You can have this one.
Thanks!
Thanks for the gift, Scott.
GIGI: Uh, I've got school
in the morning.
Happy birthday, Jamie.
Thanks. Um...
I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Well, that was awkward.
ROCKY: Finally!
A man's hat.
Uh-oh!
- [bottles clinking]
- ERWIN: Uh...
Hi, Mr. Schultz.
ROCKY: Busted by my big sis.
Funny.
All right, let's clear out.
Party's over.
Clean up.
[bottles clinking]
[guitar playing]
Walking to the...
I'll get a cup of coffee
with two sh*ts of expresso.
It's gonna be a long night.
Anything else?
- All set.
- I'm good.
At least they're okay.
No one was swimming.
No one was drunk.
They were drinking.
- They were drinking!
- Yeah, yeah.
Claire called earlier.
Said a small group
was gathered at Scott's.
They're fine.
All right.
Sounds like a good
old-fashioned high school party.
Sex, dr*gs, and rock n' roll!
[laughs] What? I--
Uh. You know, it sounds like it
was a very mellow gathering.
[sniffles]
I'm gonna go back
to the firehouse.
See you later.
I'm glad
you don't need your driver.
SINGER: Run away
I wanna hear you say
I'm falling for you
Falling for you
I'm falling for you,
I'm falling for you
Can you feel it too?
Come on, electrify me
Meet me at the bonfire
Oh, oh, meet me
at the bonfire
Oh, oh,
meet me at the bonfire
Oh, oh, meet me
at the bonfire
- [cheering]
-L et's go!
[cheering, indistinct chatter]
ALL: Ohh!
Whoo!
Hey, my bad.
Hey, hey. My--
All right, you guys.
His turn. Let's go!
[laughs]
Hey, hey, wait, wait.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday to Eric,
my friend.
ERWIN: Happy birthday, Eric!
And happy birthday, Jamie!
Whoo!
Falling for you,
falling for you
[bonfire crackling]
[Rocky snoring]
Why is that boat
out of the water?
Hmm. My parents are selling it.
You wanna go on that one?
It's not safe. I-I'm--
[laughs] Uh, are you scared?
[laughs] Yes!
[both laughing]
LIZZIE: Scott, stop.
Please, Daddy,
please let me be with my love!
- [giggling] Really?
- [laughing] Yes!
[laughing] Fine. Come on!
[both laughing]
[crickets chirping]
[heels clicking]
- [engine starting]
- [car door shutting]
[breathing heavily]
WOMAN: [ghostly singsong voice]
Eric!
[faintly] Eric! Eric!
[crying] Eric! Eric!
[ghostly shrieks]
[disorted, faint voice] Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
[screaming]
[distorted, faint voice] Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie.
Jamie. Jamie, wake up.
Jamie, you're dreaming again.
Wake up! Jamie!
Jamie, wake up!
You're grounded. Come on!
What are you doing?
What are you all doing?
Where's Rocky?
I-I don't know.
And why don't you know?
JAMIE: Enough, Gigi.
He was really out of it
last night.
[water gushing]
JAMIE: Rocky!
Rocky, wake up.
ROCKY: Oh, hey. Hmm.
- GIGI: See? I told you.
- ERWIN: This isn't good.
Where--where--
where's Lizzie and Scott?
Uh, I don't know,
I'm too hung over to know.
ERWIN: You haven't seen them?
No.
JAMIE: Where are they?
GIGI: I don't know! I'm sure--
JAMIE: Where are they?
I don't know.
Look, I'm sure they're fine.
Where's Scott's boat?
[laughing, giggling]
LIZZIE: Stop!
[laughing, giggling continues]
[gasping]
What kind of fish was that?
A shark. [laughing]
Dun...
dun, dun....
dun, dun!
Dun, dun! Dun, dun!
- Cut it out!
- [laughing, coughing]
Hey, where's your inhaler?
I don't know. [laughs]
I--I could've left it back
at the house.
[laughs, coughs]
[gasping]
Maybe it's like
a large turtle...
- or is it a tortoise?
- What the heck, Scott!
That's crazy. We're in a swamp!
- Or... a lake. I--I--
- No, wait.
No, a tortoise
is in like the warm water.
Like in Australia. [laughs]
I told you
we shouldn't be in the lake.
Well, technically,
we're not "in the lake."
We're "on" it.
- [gasping]
- [screaming]
[laughing]
Well, now we're in the lake!
Scott, that's not funny!
[gasps] Come and help me in!
SCOTT: No, come here! [laughing]
- Dun, dun...
- No, come on, come on!
- dun dunn...
- Scott! Stop!
[laughing, coughing]
Hey, you don't have
your inhaler.
Come on, come on. Help me up.
[grunting]
Okay. Come on, come on, Scott.
Come on!
Scott, what are you doing?!
- Scott, come on!
- Something's got me!
Scott! Come on.
Scott. Scott! Scott!
- Scott! Scott!
- SCOTT: Pull harder!
- Pull harder, Lizzie!
- Scott! Scott!
Scott! Scott!
[screams] No! Scott!
[screaming] Scott! Scott! Scott!
Scott! Scott! Scott! Scott!
Scott!
Scott!
Scott! [screams]
Scott! Scott!
Scott! Scott!
[screams]
Scott!
[cellphone chimes]
[ambulance sirens blaring]
[ambulance siren blaring
in distance]
[indistinct radio chatter]
I'm sorry.
You should go be with your dad.
I just can't sit here and wait!
Rocky, wait up!
Come on!
ROCKY: No, no, no, no!
No, no.
No, no, no.
[gasps, breathing heavily]
SINGER: It's not the miles
It's not the minutes
between us
It's not the days
that I'm counting
Down until I see ya
It's not the pillow
that I'm holding
Instead of you
When I'm sleeping
That's not the issue
I'm just running out of ways
to say I miss you
It's not the loneliness
It's not the table for one
It's not the single glass
of red wine
On the counter
when the day is done
It's not the lack
of your laughter
I'm dying to hear in person
That's not the issue
I'm just running out of ways
to say I miss you...
[sobbing]
[whispers] I'm sorry.
[whispers] I thought I lost you.
SINGER: To say I miss you...
JAMIE: I love you.
SINGER:
I am running out of ways
I am running out of ways
I am running
out of ways
I am running out of ways
I am running
out of ways
I am running out of ways
To say I miss you
I am running out of ways
to say I miss you
Aponi!
- Aponi!
- ADAM: Aponi!
Aponi.
SINGER: Didn't think
it'd go this fast
Goodbye to this house
we thought would always last
And this is where
Dad's garden grows...
That's the last one.
- All right! You ready?
- Yeah!
Oh, I forgot something.
- I'll be right back.
- Okay.
JAMIE: Mom?
Mom?
SINGER:
Even when you move...
Mom?
SINGER:
To a town that is new...
Mom?
SINGER:
To hold on too strong
But you're always home...
Mom!
SINGER: You're always home
to me...
My girl.
- I love you, Aponi.
- I love you, too.
[car horn honks]
SINGER: Me and Jess
would play pretend...
JAMIE: Coming!
SINGER:
Company around the table
The seat by the window
is where I learned piano
And I'm scared that things
change too quickly
-[engine rumbling]
-Bedtime tales from mom
Sing loud in my heart...
Bye, baby.
SINGER: I'm not alone
You're always home
You're always home to me...
[laughing]
Oh!
- Thank you.
- Happy birthday.
[laughing]
SINGER: Though
I'm not little anymore
I'll always need you...
LIZZIE: Hey, Jamie.
I'm sorry I didn't come
to say goodbye.
I had no idea
how hard it is and...
how much I miss Scott.
Thank you for being my rock.
I miss you,
and I'll see you next summer.
[beep]
SINGER: Please remember
I'll love you forever
You're always home
You're always home to me
Look at you! You look so good.
I knew you could do it!
Nice.
Nice. [laughing]
SINGER:
Company around the table
The seat by the window
is where I learned piano
And I'm scared...
WOMAN: Scott.
Scott.
Scott.
Scott.
CLAIRE: Wait up, Will!
Where are you going?
Will!
Where are you going?
Will!
[crying]
Sweetie, where are you going?
Can I keep this, Mommy?
Of course you can, sweetie.
[crying]
WOMAN: [ghostly echoing voice]
Scott.
Scott.
Scott.
Scott.
- Scott.
- Scott.
[woman crying]
SINGER: Have to go,
have to go, have to go
Have to go, have to go,
have to go
It's the end of the world
at the palm of my hand
When it all goes to hell,
will you still be my friend?
My face to the sea,
my back to the land
If you can't come with me,
I'll understand
I'll understand
Can we meet in the dark?
We don't have to say much
And if you have to go,
have to go, oh
I'll understand
We didn't know what we know
The end of the world
at the palm of my hand
When it all goes to hell,
will you still be my friend?
Have to go, have to go
My face to the sea,
my back's to the land
If you can't come with me,
I'll understand
Can we meet in the dark?
We don't have to say much
And if you have to go,
have to go
I'll understand
Let you go, let you go
I'll understand
Let you go, let you go
I'll understand
We didn't know what we know
'Cause when you travel light
Some things are left behind
It's the end of the world
at the palm of my hand
When it all goes to hell,
will you still be my friend?
My face to the sea,
my back to the land
If you can't come with me
I'll understand
