June and John (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Morning, sunshine.

Did you sleep well?

Not bad.

Say, weren't you meeting

a young lady last night?

It's tonight, actually.

Oh, my bad.

How did you meet this young woman?

Actually, it's like a party thing

I got invited to.

Oh. Even better.

So you could meet several girls.

Hey, Mom, I gotta go.

I'm gonna be late for work, okay?

Come on!

Hey, Melvin, how's it going?

There's a white Rolls parked

half across my spot right now.

That's the chairman's car.

I just wanna let you know

that I kind of had to park to one side,

so I'm overlapping

on the disabled space a little.

You can't do that.

I know I can't. Um

If you could just call me

on my extension, 357,

as soon as the Rolls leaves,

I'll come right down,

and I'll park my car in its rightful spot.

It's, uh, 357.

All right, have a good day, Melvin.

Whassup, jerkwad?

Still haven't repaired

the leak on the fourth floor yet?

Nope. Next bucket, your turn.

Actually, speaking of the fourth floor,

there's this new chick up in Legal

who's an absolute stunner.

Talking skirt up around her armpits,

t*ts up to here.

Chick's gonna do some damage.

Hey. Time for the meeting, guys.

Yep.

Yeah, one second. I'll be right there.

One man in seven will commit sexual abuse,

in one form or another, in his lifetime.

That means there's

at least two in this room.

In their defense, most men are not

fully aware of their own misbehavior.

It is, therefore,

important to educate you.

John?

- Yes?

- Let's start with you.

And in light of my explanations,

can you remember a case

of inappropriate behavior

that you may have witnessed

here at the firm?

Um

You know, I work in Accounts,

so I don't often get to meet

actual people in the firm.

Okay.

- Yes?

- Hey, Alan Burke here from Forever Match.

Ah, Mr. Burke. I was going to call.

Um it's about tonight, actually.

Uh, I get the speed-dating concept.

Seven minutes max.

It seems pretty straightforward,

but, um, it's my first time,

and it feels like five dates,

one after another on the first night.

Um, it's quite a lot.

I was wondering if you could cut it down

without offending anyone, obviously.

That's precisely why I called you.

Ah, great, so

Seemed like a little too much to you too?

All five ladies canceled, unfortunately.

But don't panic, we'll line you up

with more dates for next month,

and we'll try to follow

your recommendations

and take it one date at a time.

Yeah, um, was there a particular reason

for the canceled dates?

Well, no.

According to my notes,

nothing in particular.

I don't see anything off-putting.

One young lady says you're not

in the social category she's looking for.

The other four were simply concerned

not to see any trace of you

on social media.

You go by any other name

on Facebook, Insta, Twitter?

Uh, no. I'm actually not on social media.

I'm not really interested.

I cannot pretend

that won't be a problem, John.

All these ladies

are hooked on social media.

It's today's gold standard.

As important as gas in a car.

Yes, but, um, I'm not a car.

John, he's coming.

Yes, of course.

Look, I'll call you back

when we have some more offers for you.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- Okay?

- Thanks for calling.

- You're welcome.

Hello, John.

- Hello, sir.

- I'm not interrupting anything?

No, no. I was just

On the phone.

Yes.

With a a client.

Since you're with in-house accounting,

I'm surprised you have client contact.

Uh, actually, sir, it was somebody

calling about a cancellation tonight.

It barely took a minute.

Receiving personal calls

during business hours is only natural,

and why we decided

two breaks in the day, ten minutes each,

so you all have time to sort out

your personal issues.

The first at 11:00,

the second at 3:00 p.m.

It is right now precisely 10:43 a.m.,

and we are in neither

of the official break times.

- Correct?

- Absolutely correct, sir.

I apologize. It won't happen again.

I hope so.

For your sake.

Step out of line one more time,

I'll be forced to give you a reprimand,

which automatically lowers your score

for your annual bonus.

That's also in the rules. Article 7.

That detail had escaped me.

I suggest you re-read the entire document

to refresh your memory.

Uh, I most certainly will.

I appreciate your understanding, sir,

and, um, I'm gonna pull myself together.

- Have a good day, John.

- Have a good day, sir.

Oh, and if one of you would be so kind

as to empty this bucket

before it ruins my carpet?

Okay.

Hey, Melvin, how is it going?

Uh, you remember this morning,

I had parked my blue Kia

in its usual spot, in its reserved spot

Well, now it's gone.

Your car was not in your spot.

It was occupying a disabled space.

Okay, firstly,

it was only half in the disabled space,

and that was only because the Rolls was

A disabled person has a "diminished" life,

so you diminish their parking space?

- That's not what I meant at all.

- It's what your words implied.

Absolutely not.

I had explained to you

that I had no choice but to park there.

Remember when I had asked you

to let me know

as soon as the Rolls had left

so I could park my car in its right spot?

All you had to do

was call me on extension 357.

I do not have to inform staff

of the movements of the bank's chairman.

Okay, uh where's my car?

- Towed.

- What?

You can't be you can't be serious.

You were parked in a disabled space

without a valid permit.

Those are the rules.

Yeah, and now, there's a freaking

plumber's van parked in that spot.

How is that allowed in a disabled space?

That space can be used in emergencies,

and the leaking toilet on the fourth floor

is considered an emergency.

Unbelievable, okay. Um

Which pound did they take my car?

How would I know?

You would if you'd asked!

Hey, I don't work for you.

I work for the firm.

Yeah.

Exactly the same damn firm I work for!

All right?

And I have for four years, Melvin!

It's four years parking

in the same damn spot every morning.

It's four years of me saying

hi to you every day.

And that's four years of you

giving me sh*t for absolutely no reason!

Tell me, what is it? What is it?

Huh? If you don't like my face?

Is it my face, man?

What is it? Tell me!

Tell me!

My car was not like this

when I parked, man.

Look, the windshield's destroyed,

my mirror is practically falling off,

and and my tire's deflated.

Come on, man.

Here in the file it says it was like this.

Absolutely not. I swear to God it was not.

I'm an extremely meticulous person,

and my car was in perfect condition.

No, it was like this when we picked it up.

Fine's 250 bucks, plus 125 tow fee.

Look, no.

I'm gonna call my lawyers

and my insurance,

and I'm gonna contest this bill,

and I'm filing complaints

for criminal damages.

Do what you gotta do, pal.

Call your lawyers,

and when you've sorted out your issues,

come back and see us again.

and I gotta leave a message?

- John Riley, hello?

- Hi, sunshine.

Uh, hi, Mom.

Uh, I'm actually expecting a call.

I tried to call you on your cell phone.

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, I had a problem with my car.

I'm trying to reach insurance.

You called your lawyer?

- Look, Mom, I can hold myself, okay?

- Don't snap.

I'm not snapping, Mom.

It's just I I've had a hard day.

I'm getting really sick

of all this pressure.

- What pressure?

- Everything!

The office! People! Society!

Parking supervisors, lawyers,

insurance hotlines, everything!

Uh, it's just, uh

It's a hard day, Mom.

That's all it is,

but tomorrow is gonna be better, okay?

Tomorrow will be fine. Um

Hey, Mom, there's someone at my door.

Um, I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

- Oh, yes.

- Sleep well.

- Hey, man.

- John Riley?

Yeah, that's me.

I really appreciate it.

You saved my life, buddy.

- Continental Insurance.

- 264! Extension 264, please!

For your security,

the conversation will be recorded.

Oh, okay.

Nelly Walter. Good morning.

Ah, good morning.

So great to hear your voice.

I mean, uh, a human voice at least.

Your social security number, please.

I don't know it by heart, but you've gotta

have it in my file, right?

I must ask you

for your social security number.

Okay, all right. Hold on.

Don't go anywhere.

It's procedure.

I'm getting it right here. All right.

Uh, 564-84-1644.

Your policy category is four.

Okay, uh, sorry, what did you say again?

- Here we go, sir.

- Thanks, man!

Hold on one second.

I'm getting out of a cab.

What do you mean category four?

You need to call extension 5338.

Have a good day, Mr. Riley.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Wait!

Hey, wait, wait! Wait! Hey!

Stop!

Are you okay?

f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

f*ck!

f*ck!

f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

f*ck! f*ck!

Come on!

Oh. Um

I'm I'm extremely sorry, officers.

I, um I left my wallet

in the taxi over there.

It has my whole life in it,

so I was chasing after it,

and, um, then I tripped

on the trash can over there.

I'm very sorry.

- Keep calm, sir.

- No, it's okay, I'm calm.

I'm calm.

Can we see some ID, please?

ButI just explained to you

that I left my wallet in the taxi.

So, I Look, man,

I don't have my ID on me.

Put your hands behind your back.

What? You're arresting me?

You can't arrest me.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Public disturbance seems like

a very good reason.

Public disturbance? Because I let

a little anger and frustration boil over

is a public disturbance? Really?

If you're having anger management issues,

you should see professional.

Oh Jesus!

Yeah, thanks.

I hadn't thought of that before.

Oh, f*ck.

- 5:40.

- John.

I was beginning to worry.

Yeah, I lost my wallet with my ID,

credit cards, and everything.

So I had to go to the cops

to file a report.

- You canceled your credit cards?

- No. Not yet.

I broke my phone. That's another reason

why I couldn't inform you.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm afraid I'm gonna add to your woes

because I have to issue you a reprimand.

I don't

For being late? This is the first time

in four years. I don't understand.

Oh, I wasn't even talking about that.

I meant the complaint filed by

Mr. Melvin Daugh, the super,

who accuses you

of verbal and physical as*ault.

That is bullshit.

We got into an argument

because the jerk smashed my car up

with something

and then sent it to the pound.

I didn't even touch the dude.

Even if you didn't touch him,

apparently, the psychological

ramifications of your actions

caused his doctor to give him

three weeks of paid leave,

which is another expense for the company.

You're joking?

Do I look like I'm joking?

Look, let's try to find

a decent way out for everyone involved.

An amicable solution.

Go ahead, go ahead, issue your reprimand.

I'm glad to see you take it that way.

We'll also have to move

your parking space,

so you have no contact with Mr. Daugh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine by me.

Well, now that everything is resolved,

I can only wish you a wonderful weekend.

Yowza, dude!

Your little spat with Melvin

is the talk of the office.

By the way, that dude's complete as*h*le,

and you were every right to clock his a*s.

I didn't touch him.

That's irrelevant because

the chicks are bombarding me

with questions about

the badass on the third floor.

This is our breakout moment, dude.

Steven, can I borrow 20 bucks?

I lost my wallet this morning,

and I need to get a cab home.

I don't like the sound of this, John.

You know, my father, he always told me,

"Mixing friends and finances

means losing them both."

Steven?

We're not friends.

That's all the more reason

not to lend you any money.

I'm talking twenty bucks here.

See? That's where it starts, John.

First, it's 20, and then 40, then 100,

then 500. I mean, where does it end?

Plus, we share an office.

You know, I don't wanna bring that kind of

tension in here, you know?

Five bucks? For the Metro.

Please?

John.

June.

Call me.

"Uh, choose a photo?"

"Define yourself in ten words?"

Boring, basic,

hooked on tranquilizers.

Lonely.

- Hey, Mom.

- Hi, sunshine.

- Feeling better?

- Yeah.

Oh, good. You worried me last night.

Sorry, I was tired. Say, Mom,

how would you define me in ten words?

What what do you mean?

It's for this game I gotta play.

I have to say who I am in ten words.

I don't know. Nobody knows me

better than you, right?

Uh, I guess.

So, go on, sh**t.

Well, I'd say nice, first of all.

Polite too.

Smart, but modest.

- Mm-hmm.

- Hardworking.

Respectful.

Quiet. Good enough for you?

Yeah, yeah, that's great.

I was pretty much on the same path.

Uh, keep going. There's three left.

You like French music.

And you have a lovely smile.

What about, like, maybe a flaw to end on?

Melancholy sometimes?

It's not really a flaw, but since

you were little, you've been that way.

And you never wondered why?

Your father and I often talked about it.

He said a lot of young people

were like that, but it passed with age.

When you're growing up,

you're full of dreams and illusions

until you lose them, one after the other.

No, no, no. That's not what I meant.

It's just that you grow and you change.

It takes time to become an adult.

I'm out of time.

Okay.

Oh my God.

Three posts.

800,000 followers.

Okay.

Hi, June.

I'm John.

We met riding the Metro.

That's the dumbest message in the world.

Yes, that's the stupidest freaking message

in the universe.

Idiot.

I'm so stupid.

Oh sh*t.

Not a chance.

f*ck, what do I say? What do I say?

Hmm.

Don't lie.

Uh

No, no, no, no, no.

Dork accountant.

Let her decide by herself.

Hi, John.

Uh, hi.

Hi, June.

You had purple hair yesterday.

That was yesterday.

Now there's no glass between us,

maybe we could try that kiss

we promised each other, right?

Great kisser.

Can add that to your profile.

How did you find me here?

I snuck into your laptop.

You hacked my computer?

I had to get to know you

a little before we kissed, right?

I guess.

At any rate, there's nothing of interest

on my computer.

It's true.

But who cares. That's all in the past.

Let's talk about the future.

Where do you wanna go from here?

Uh, I don't really know.

I haven't thought about it.

I guess I don't have a plan.

I love it. Who needs a plan?

- Oh.

- Do what I say, okay?

Listen, I, um, I think you should know

I'm not exactly wealthy.

What's so funny?

You work in a bank, and you have no money?

You gotta admit, that's funny.

Yeah, I guess. Uh

My boss has been on my back

ever since my first day.

He just decided he didn't like me,

and nothing's changed.

Typical tin-pot dictator

with no real power.

- I bet you he's got a tiny wiener.

- Well, I don't know about that.

But he's gonna be retiring

in a year or two,

so I might be up for a promotion then.

What, what did I say?

You'd waste two years of your life

working for that as*h*le?

It's cool. I'm young.

Two years will fly by.

But I won't be here in two years, John.

How come?

In 72 hours, I disappear.

Disappear? How? How?

I had a dream the other day.

You wanna know?

Sure.

I was dancing on a beach,

and then I glanced at my watch,

and I saw the exact time

down to the precise minute and date.

And then I just vanished from the picture.

As if by magic. It was incredible.

Now I know the time that I'll go.

Isn't that awesome?

So you looked at your watch in a dream

and concluded you had 72 hours to live?

Yes, look.

I had it switched to a countdown.

A guy did it for me in a store on La Brea.

It's cool, huh?

Well, it's not very scientific.

Scientists don't invent anything.

They just discover things

that already exist.

June, you can't base

the rest of your life on a dream.

Well, if you can't trust your dreams,

who you gonna trust?

John, you can't stay here.

You'll wind up drowning,

or dying a slow death,

eaten up by mediocrity.

You need air. You're a hot-air balloon

tethered to the ground.

Balloons aren't made to be on the ground.

They're made to enchant children

and amuse the birds.

They're made to glide across the sky,

erasing traces left by airplanes.

John?

- Yes?

- Mr. Francis wants to see you now.

Coming.

Uh, stay here.

I'll be back in five minutes.

- f*ck, no. I'm coming with you.

- No, no.

- He's just another as*h*le.

- What is this sh*t?

Uh, pills to harness my energy.

I want you to use

every drop of your energy.

Trust me, June. It's better this way.

Do you realize, with these, you're part of

the greatest con in history?

Mm-hmm.

Society is simply an enormous factory,

using you to make money.

Since your birth,

the only thing anyone teaches you really

is to obey the rules and work

to keep the system flush with cash.

We're chained to it,

and all we get to choose

is the type of chain.

For anyone that doesn't agree,

they invented medication.

For all the others, they get to post

their happy little lives to Instagram.

Come in.

- You wanted to see me, sir?

- Come in, John.

I have no choice but to remind

you once again of some basic rules that,

in the last few days,

you seem inclined to ignore.

This is the fascist as*h*le?

Pardon me? Young lady?

May I ask what you're doing

in this building, in my office?

I am the angel of the apocalypse,

come to bring the deluge of flames

to purify this world

of its sins and vices!

Move one more time,

and I'll drill you another as*h*le,

through which you can empty

the contents of your skull.

What do you want?

First, drop your pants.

Keep going.

- Uh

- You see?

I told you? Tiny wiener.

Yeah.

Now open up your safe.

No, no. Like that.

Fill it up.

Quick, quick, quick, come on.

Uh, June. June.

Isn't this taken a little bit too far?

I thought you were ready to go

wherever love takes you?

Yeah, but this isn't love. It's

It's

Uh

I'm saving your life, John.

With a g*n in your hand?

Let's pretend.

You are my f*cking hostage,

and you better do what I tell you!

And you, if you call the cops,

I f*cking k*ll him! Now give me!

Let's get out of here.

Stay calm. Don't run.

June, June, what's next?

We always need to hide

in a spot the enemy is least expecting.

You wanna go back inside the bank?

No, no, just outside of it.

Hey, surprise!

I wasn't expecting company.

Yes, I know it's a little presumptuous,

but I was looking for a spot

where I could talk with my boyfriend.

Could we rent your tent for a few hours?

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

Guy and a girl. Running that way!

Really hard, really fast.

- Girl had a bag. That way.

- Thank you, sir.

Oh, breathe.

The cops are everywhere.

Don't worry. They won't

look for us in here. We're safe.

Relax.

Relax. Deep breaths.

Calm down.

Breathe slowly.

Look at me.

Look at me. Look.

Look at me.

Calm down. It's all good.

Actually, I'm feeling short of breath,

with a foreboding feeling

that we're gonna wind up in jail.

It's like the walls are closing in.

Do you wanna switch tents?

No, I don't know.

I don't really know right now.

I'm kind of lost.

- What's coming next?

- Nobody knows.

The future is

the last unexplored territory,

where anything could happen.

Maybe a piano will land on our heads,

falling out of the sky

for no apparent reason,

and that's us, gone.

A a piano?

See? Near miss.

Let's live, John.

Let's make the most of

every second that's given to us.

- Are you scared?

- Uh

- Yeah.

- Of me?

- No.

- What, then?

Everything else.

That's good.

That means you're beginning to detox,

bit by bit.

Soon you'll look life in the face.

In the eyes.

Look at me.

What do you see?

You.

And what do you see through me?

Love.

And isn't love

what matters the most in the world?

Let's make love.

Uh, here?

Yeah.

- Now?

- Yeah.

Isn't life beautiful, John?

Yes.

We're gonna get spotted

in seconds here.

There's no one on the streets.

Silly, they're looking for

two fugitives who held up a bank,

not two lovers out walking.

Are you sure they're friends of yours?

I work on the assumption that people

are my friends until they prove otherwise.

Yeah, but even the friendliest of people,

they tend to call the cops

after a home invasion.

Be positive, John.

Yesterday, we met. Today, you're free.

You're on a good streak. Enjoy it.

Yes!

Whoo!

There's gotta be somebody home.

No, there's no cars.

They must have gone to Malibu

for the weekend.

Oh my God.

John, look at the flowers.

They have taste.

John! The swimming pool!

Come on in. It's so warm.

No, no, no, I

- I'm good.

- It'll do you good.

Swimming relaxes the muscles.

God, it's so nice.

John, you'll love it.

It's so nice in here. It's like a bath.

John, please, I wanna hold you in my arms.

I can't swim.

No biggie. I'll teach you. Come on.

Come on.

Give me your hand. Come on.

John, please, give me your hand.

There you go. So warm, right?

Come on.

Are you ready?

- What What are you

- Lie, lie flat on your back.

I promise you, I got you.

- I don't want

- Slowly. I got you. Don't worry.

Come on, come on!

There you go. I got you, I got you,

I got you, I got you, I got you.

There you go.

All right, now do big circles

with your arms and legs.

Come on, come on!

Like a frog, big circles.

You've never seen a frog before?

Sure, on the TV.

So, copy it.

Big circles with your arms and legs.

You got it. Let's do it again.

There you go. Yeah. That's great.

That's enough. I I'm good.

Really. All right.

- I am done. That's enough.

- I'm switching you back like that.

Okay, that's it.

- Do you like it?

- Yeah.

It's warm, huh?

You did so well.

There we go.

Hi, John.

Hi, June.

Whoa, look.

Too late, honey. We ate the whole thing.

You know, sometimes, I envy animals.

Their lives are so much simpler.

Meaning?

Uh, well, an animal gets up

in the morning with the sole aim

of eating and reproducing.

Do you know the animals that have

the best lives of all are dolphins?

Really? How come?

Well, they eat, they f*ck, and they play.

What do you mean they play?

They have fun.

They're real dicks, actually. Pranksters.

Okay, so what kind of pranks

do dolphins pull?

For example,

you know moray eels, the long fish?

Well, they live in these rocks,

and they always have

a front door passage way

and an emergency exit.

And then a bunch of dolphins

will come up and mess around with it

outside the front door, and just as

it's about to slip out the back

another dolphin is just

lying in wait to catch it.

That's not a prank. That's hunting.

No, no, the dolphins don't

catch the eels to eat them.

They surface with them,

and then they toss them up

to watch them wriggle around like crazy.

They find it funny.

It's a cruel prank.

No.

Because without the dolphins,

eels would never even think of

breaking the surface.

They'd never feel the air on their skin,

or the amazing sensation

of taking flight, like birds.

The dolphins make their lives

a dream that they

never could have imagined otherwise.

Oh.

What a stroke of luck, being a bird.

Even for only a few seconds.

Forget gravity,

float on air,

glide along beaches at sunset.

Fly in the never-ending blue.

Uh

Why are you crying?

Because I know I'll never fly.

Oh my God, John!

We are so lucky.

Look.

What's that?

Aladdin's lamp.

We each get three wishes.

You know how it works?

You just rub it.

And then the genie will come out,

and you tell him your three wishes.

Uh I don't see a genie.

You need to get yourself some glasses.

He's right in front of you,

smiling at you.

Tell him your first wish.

Um, well, you know, ladies first.

Okay.

I wish I could

command the sun with my finger.

The sun would obey my every whim.

I'd make it rise and set any time.

I'd give birth to the world,

and then give it its power.

An energy refill for everyone

so we can dance

and make our bodies shimmer.

Then I'd calm things down,

let the sky sing all of its colors,

and I'd let nostalgia wash over me.

And then I'd go to bed.

Wow.

Uh, what about your second wish?

I'll save the rest for later.

- Your turn.

- Uh

- It's tough.

- Take your time.

Um

- I'd love

- Wow, amazing.

I I haven't even said my wish yet.

You did. You just said "I'd love."

The promise of eternal love.

Could you wish for anything better?

You're right.

So my first wish is "I'd love."

And my second is you.

And my third is forever.

I'd love you forever.

My love.

June? June? Wake up.

Oh, hello.

Could we get another hour's sleep, please?

We're so tired.

Thank you so much.

Mmm. I was dying of hunger.

You?

Sure.

Did you notice?

Uh

What haven't I noticed?

Look around you.

Nothing jumps out at you?

No, I don't see anything. Tell me.

Not a single trace of nature. Nowhere.

We're wrong to dissociate ourselves

from nature like this.

She gives us everything we need.

We're made for each other.

You are my nature now.

Thanks, but

What?

Where do we go from there?

Where do you wanna go?

I don't know.

I wasn't speaking physically,

where we're going.

I was saying more philosophically.

Where are we going?

I understand.

Finish your breakfast.

We gonna go see an old friend of mine.

He's the wisest person I know.

Always gives the best advice.

Okay.

There. There he is.

Where?

There, right in front of you.

You really do need glasses.

The the tree?

This is the old friend

you came to see for advice?

He's more than 200 years old.

He has survived wildfires,

earthquakes, and epidemics.

He's a wise old man.

His advice is priceless.

He talks?

Of course he talks.

He talks to anyone

willing to listen. Come.

Like this, John.

You hug him hard in your arms,

and he'll give you

all his energy and knowledge.

June, June.

June.

- Morning, young man.

- Good morning.

Can I ask what you're doing here?

Well, this tree is hundreds of years old,

so we've come to

draw on its wisdom.

Are you guys on drugs?

No, no, not at all, sir.

I don't drink or smoke at all.

- And your girlfriend?

- No, she doesn't either.

She doesn't need to.

She's a She's a ray of sunshine.

Does the ray of sunshine have ID?

Oh, I have mine.

Um, I left my wallet,

and they gave me this at the station.

And hers?

June? June?

Uh, it's probably in her backpack.

Hey, I don't have all day.

Sorry.

Sorry, officer.

There you are.

Stay there.

Yes, sir.

June, June, we gotta go!

June, wake up! Wake up!

Wake up!

- What's wrong?

- We gotta go!

Okay.

She's a bank robber.

I told you so.

Oh! Visitors.

Uh, just keep calm.

Oh, here you know, it's very calm.

As calm as hell.

Are you all alone?

Technically, no.

My husband is in his office.

The gentleman of the house has work to do.

Thanks.

Wow!

- Fancy!

- Hmm?

Whoa, whoa, whoa! No, you don't!

You were gonna sh**t me

without even wondering who I am?

What do you want?

Your car keys.

Which car?

Oh, you have a few?

Yes.

To go to the same place?

Yes. Please, take whatever one you want.

It's They're all in the drawer.

Found him.

How could you do that?

Take their lives like that?

They were their lives, not yours!

Who are you to decide

who lives and who dies?

- Huh?

- I'm sorry. I Forgive me.

I didn't know. I was with friends.

You were with friends? That's what you do.

You call your friends out

and go on little sprees?

k*lling folks for the fun of it?

Yep.

They're not actual people.

They're not people?

What are they, then? Who are they?

You tell me!

Tell me how your shitty f*cking life

is more valued than theirs?

Go on, tell me!

Go on, tell me!

He said he was sorry, and he didn't know.

He took the lives of innocents

who'll never see the sun rise again.

- Think about it!

- It's a terrible mistake.

He interfered with the balance of nature.

He must pay for his crime!

I completely agree.

A crime cannot go unpunished.

We're agreed, right?

Yes, yes.

He's agreed. So, um, I have an idea.

I'm gonna take care of this, okay?

Just stay right there.

Hey, man, um,

she is not in a good mood today, okay?

So let's find a dignified way out

for everyone involved. Uh

- An amicable solution.

- Okay.

Okay. So, I need you

to access your bank account for me.

Go on.

The 12 there Is that That's millions?

Yes.

You're rich as hell.

I worked hard for that money.

John?

Move a little, will you?

You're in my line of fire there.

I know I'm in the line of fire, June.

I'm standing here on purpose,

so you won't be tempted.

So keep calm, lower the g*n.

I don't want for it to go off

and you to wound me by accident.

And you don't want that, do you?

No.

So lower the g*n, please.

Thanks. Thank you.

Okay, so let's

Let's wire this money, 12 million,

into an animal defense fund.

All of it?

I'm trying to save your life here.

You're seriously gonna pinch pennies?

Come on.

- Which one?

- Which what?

Which association?

Any association. It doesn't matter.

Nairobi Foundation.

It's okay?

Twelve million. Done.

Good boy.

Okay, so look, here's the situation.

The guy admitted he f*cked up,

and he promised he won't do it again.

He gave me his word, okay?

And to make up for it, he just wired

$12 million into an animal defense fund.

Really?

Yeah.

- You did that for me?

- Yeah, I did.

I love you, John.

You're an exceptional human being.

I am so lucky I met you.

You're an exceptional human being too.

But, uh, we gotta cool down,

or else we're not gonna last 36 hours.

Yeah, okay.

Let's calm things down.

Yeah, let's go.

You! Stand facing the wall,

hands behind your head!

And don't move until we get back.

Okay, yes, yes. Okay, clear.

Goodbye.

Sorry to have disturbed you.

Oh, you haven't bothered me at all.

Quite the contrary.

You've made my day.

What car did you take?

I don't know. We took it at random.

Take mine instead.

My husband has trackers

on all of his cars.

They'll spot you

in less than five minutes.

Mine is a convertible.

Perfect for a romantic cruise.

The keys are there in the ashtray.

Thank you.

Can I ask you a question?

Of course. Thousands if you'd like.

Did you ever love him?

Yes. I did.

Long ago.

For a few days.

He made me dream.

But men don't know how to dream anymore.

They only know how to count.

And love can't be counted.

You have to live it.

Yes.

You have to live it.

June. Hey. June, we really should go.

So nice to be woken by a warm breeze.

You know, um,

I was thinking, um

Remember the other day when you said

it made you sad to think you'd never fly?

Yes?

- Maybe we can try.

- To fly?

Yeah. Uh

So we passed a sign for an airfield

a little while ago.

It's got a skydiving club.

We could do a parachute jump.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I'm gonna fly! I'm gonna fly!

I'm gonna fly!

I'm gonna fly!

- Whoa! Yeah, yeah. Come down.

- Hear me up there? I'm coming!

- Okay, okay.

- I'm coming!

Oh my God!

Yes, my God! Yes!

John, are you ready to go?

- What?

- Are you ready to go?

I'm not attached to you.

I'll get you ready at the door.

Uh Oh, okay.

I'm gonna jump, John!

Yeah!

- She has no parachute!

- Oh my God!

- God, God!

- Okay, I got it.

No! No!

No, no!

Whoa.

Oh my God!

June!

John!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

That was incredible!

You're f*cking crazy!

Oh my God!

Hey, come on! Is she okay, man?

John! John!

June!

John! John! John!

Thank you! Thank you!

Thank you! I can fly,

and it's all thanks to you!

Just imagine!

Yeah. Well, actually,

I was imagining you about to die.

No way!

Look, I still have 24 hours left.

Nothing can happen to me before then.

If you pull any more stunts like that,

I'm not gonna be able to last 24 hours.

I thought that

my heart was gonna give out.

Your heart could never give out.

You have the best heart in the world.

I love you.

John!

This is for you.

I'll try this.

Okay.

You need to get this.

- It looks so good. I love it!

- Yeah.

Yes. Yes!

Try this. Oh my gosh!

Holy sh*t!

It's

Oh my God!

No.

Hey, what's going on?

You okay, baby?

You need me to call a doctor?

No.

I'm sick of doctors.

What What's going on?

Talk to me.

I'm tired, that's all.

The other day, I found the results

of a blood panel in your backpack.

What's going on?

Tell me.

A few months ago,

I fell asleep on the beach,

with my mouth open, and

a a nasty crab

just took its chance to sneak in, and

At first, it wasn't an issue 'cause,

well, my body's big enough for two.

But but then it started, um,

feeling really at home,

and it invited its girlfriend along,

and then they started

procreating like crazy.

And

Now there are baby crabs on every floor,

and they're trashing the place.

Um, June, there's specialists.

There's treatments.

Medicine makes new discoveries every day.

You can fight this.

I don't wanna fight, John.

I wanna live.

But why decide to go so soon?

You can have more time.

Choosing when you go

is a f*cking privilege

that not everyone is given.

I should be grateful.

But I don't want you to go, June.

I hate myself so much

for dragging you into this.

It's so It's so selfish.

I hope you can forgive me one day.

June, you saved my life.

I'd got it all wrong before I met you.

And every minute

I spend with you is grace.

How much time do we have left?

Twelve hours.

Better get down to it, then.

Which means?

June.

Will you marry me?

What?

- Yes!

- Yeah.

Yes! Yes!

Okay, uh, go inside and get a dress.

I'm going to take this

and handle the technical details.

Take anything you want, baby.

Okay. Meet me back here in one hour, okay?

- Okay.

- I love you.

Bye.

How may I help you?

I'm gonna get married!

Oh, congratulations.

Thank you.

Need a ride?

No, no. My husband's coming.

- Bye

- Bye.

Don't worry, he'll be here.

- You think?

- Sure.

He'd be a real dumbass to leave

a beauty like you at the side of the road.

Thanks.

That dress fits you

just like a glove.

Thanks.

You look like a real princess.

It's not too long?

It's perfect.

I would tighten up the waist

a little bit, show off your t*ts.

Like that?

No, no, baby girl. May I?

Sure. Be my guest.

I'm Sally, by the way.

Hi, I'm June. Nice to meet you.

Here you go. That's better.

- Thanks.

- You look great.

Don't worry. He'll be here.

Here. You know what?

Drink this while you wait.

Strong!

You know it keeps you going.

Thanks. I feel better already.

That's okay. You look beautiful.

I told you he would be here.

You look stunning.

You too.

I thought you'd forgotten about me.

Not a chance.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Hey, Sally, would you be my witness?

Please.

Oh my God!

You're gonna make me cry.

Come in the car.

Okay.

Watch your dress.

- Careful.

- Hey, prince man?

You need a witness too.

I'm available.

Sure, yeah. Come on.

Why not?

- Thank you.

- Get in there.

What is this place?

So I looked at a bunch of chapels,

and they all seemed really fake.

And, um, then I found this tree

and thought it was a pretty good spot.

It is the most beautiful of churches

I have ever seen.

- You like it?

- I love it.

The only problem, though, is the priest,

but, uh, he's the only one I could find.

What's the problem? He looks great!

- Hola.

- Hola.

Can we start?

Start?

Yes, start.

Father, Son, Holy Spirit, amen.

Dear Lord, we ask

that You bless those in attendance

and especially this young couple

here to celebrate

the sacred ritual of matrimony

with us this evening.

Amen.

- June and John.

- Yes, that's us.

I'm June. John.

The Church is celebrating

this big moment with you,

together with your friends and relatives.

Let's begin the ceremony.

We're going to start

with the blessing of the rings.

No, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Oh. Sorry.

These rings represent

the union and fidelity

that you're expressing to one another

through this sacrament.

Yeah.

No, wait, wait.

Wait, wait.

- John.

- Yeah.

Do you take June for your lawful wife,

and promise to have and to hold her,

for better or worse, for richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

and to forever respect her?

- Say yes.

- Yes, yes.

Until death do you part?

Yes.

- June.

- Yes. S.

Do you take John for your lawful husband?

S.

And promise to have and to hold him,

for better or worse, for richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

and to forever respect him,

- S.

- until death do you part?

Yes.

No problemo.

Yeah, yeah.

Can you hold that, buddy?

Thank you.

No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait.

By the power vested in me,

and with the commitment

you are hereby making this evening,

I declare you husband and wife.

What God has joined together,

let no man put asunder.

- Now

- Ah, yeah.

- Bravo!

- Whoo!

Bravo!

Oh my, congratulations!

Oh yeah!

What a lovely day!

June?

- Mm?

- Where are we?

A motel, out of town.

Why didn't we stay at the hotel?

It was swarming with cops.

John, look!

The countdown's finished by

more than two hours, and I'm still here.

- Yeah, it's it's

- It's a miracle.

- It's a miracle.

- It's a miracle.

Yeah. It's a miracle.

Oh, just, you know.

- We have to celebrate!

- Okay.

I'm gonna grab a shower,

and then we make love.

Okay.

All right. Oh!

Oh, you okay?

John.

Yeah?

I'm hungry.

Yeah? You want room service?

Yeah, yes, honey.

All right.

- Reception. Good morning.

- Morning.

I'd, um, I'd like to order

room service for two, please.

Which room are you in, sir?

Um uh, 19.

Please hold the line.

Mr. John Riley?

Listen to me carefully.

Don't move.

Act like this is

a regular conversation, please.

I am Captain Andrew Colins,

head of the g*ng Division here in Nevada.

- Meaning?

- We're here to help you.

Are you restrained in any way?

Uh, no, no.

Good. Come slowly to the window, please.

Do you see us?

Yeah.

All right.

We are in position all around the hotel,

and we are gonna make

every attempt to release you.

But for that,

I'm going to need your cooperation.

Uh, to release me?

You are the hostage?

Yeah, yeah. I'm the hostage.

Can you confirm

she's in the shower right now?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Mr. Riley, go quietly to the door

and open it without a sound.

My men will be there to rescue you.

Actually, um, she, uh

She locked the door and then took it

into the bathroom with her.

All right,

we're gonna try a different strategy.

When room service arrives,

I want you to keep her

as far away from the door as possible.

Got that?

You're gonna fire at her?

Only if she leaves us with no alternative.

You understand what I'm saying, right?

Yeah, I understand.

We'll be there in 15 minutes.

All right, 15 minutes, guys.

We go in 15 minutes.

- June.

- Yeah?

They found us.

Ah. Already?

And your g*n

is not even loaded.

Of course it's not loaded.

I couldn't k*ll a living thing!

Commander, get your guys in there now!

Let's go!

Okay go.

- In position.

- All right. Ring the bell.

What do you hear?

I hear screaming.

What kind of screaming?

Hard to say.

Ring the bell again.

The screaming stopped.

Okay. Call out.

Room service!

Anything?

Nothing.

Okay, plan B, everyone. Plan B.

Lose the server.

Teams 1 & 2, you're going in on my mark.

In ten seconds.

Three, two, one, go.

Go, go, go!

There is no one here. They vanished.

What do you mean "they vanished"?

Search that room again. They can't be far.

They have to be hiding

some place in there.

I think now's a good time

for my second wish.

Okay, go ahead.

In my next life,

I wanna come back as an octopus.

So I have eight arms to hug you with.

Forever.

Sounds good to me.

All right, Johnnie.

Spike strips, left lane.

Tom, spikes, right lane.

Everybody else, weapons at the ready.

Defensive positions behind your cruiser.

What about your third wish?

Hostage is now considered hostile.

I repeat, there is no hostage.

Prepare for interception.

Possible armed confrontation.

How about some music?
