Different Flowers (2017)

[bunniefuu]

(elegant orchestral music)

(loosening tongue)

Perfect.

Oh.

Ann and Steven!

Okay over, down and then left.

I do.

I do.

You're gonna crush it.

What could go wrong?

(camera clicking)

Caroline and Tiffany.

The seating cards should have

been placed 20 minutes ago.

Come on, ba ba ba ba ba!

Oh, have you gotten

one of us together yet?

(camera clicks)

Ah, perfect.

Emma, you done?

Mom.

It's too hot to function.

I'm not the one

who wanted to get

hitched in August, honey.

Oh Mom, can you zip up Lucy?

Oh my god is the air even on?

They promised me a

crisp 68 degrees!

Is this the kitchen?

- Do I look like a

refrigerator to you?

Go on, ba ba ba ba ba.

It's down the hall to the left.

Ask for Chef Souza.

Where'd the twins go?

We can't start

without flower girls.

- Mom.

- What?

Okay.

Have you practiced

your vows yet?

You know what?

Say 'em to Grandma.

'Cause I have to make a call.

Is this the kitchen?

Oh.

- You better get lost

before it's too late.

Something new.

And it helps with

the nerves too.

- The flutist isn't

texting me back.

Can you help me, please?

(soft crying)

(sniffling)

So.

You sure you're okay?

'Cause you kinda, look

look like you got stung

by an emotional bee.

(laughs)

But you look fabulous.

That dress?

Wow.

- Mom's dress.

- I know.

And it really stands

the test of time.

Emma.

- You're channeling like

1988 in a very strong way.

That's a very underrated

year for fashion.

You don't have to do this.

- Look, I know it's a lot,

but you don't have to do this.

And if you do want

to marry Charlie,

then we'll just take a deep

breath and then we'll get

right back out there.

- You and I, we don't do

this, you don't have...

I'm gonna be fine.

You don't have to do this,

you have no obligation here.

Oh I don't?

Oh.

Whew.

Cool, see ya.

(door shuts)

(pensive music)

(knocking)

This isn't the kitchen!

It's me, dumb head.

Come on.

Albert to the rescue.

(gasps)

Let's get outta here.

(light music)

Oh, this is the kitchen.

Excuse us, sorry.

Oh, that's actually,

hey thank you so much.

- Emma, come on,

let's go, let's go!

Okay.

Okay, alright.

He's all yours m'lady.

You want me to drive?

You want me to come with you?

Yeah, I can't go by myself.

Wha...

Okay.

Why can't it open?

- You have to reach in.

- What?

Oh my god.

- Just reach in and pull the...

- Why can't you just

have a normal car?

Just pull it.

He's not a normal

car, he's Albert.

Alright.

Why does it smell weird?

What's happening?

- It's just...

(sighs)

- Emma.

- Don't.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Shh, Albert, come on!

Albert?

Ready, come on sweet Albie.

It's okay, it's okay.

Let's just, maybe

we should just...

Nope.

- Nope, no,

that's not happening.

- Nevermind.

Okay hold on.

(radio turns on)

Wait wait wait,

hold on, hold on.

(bangs)

(engine starts)

Yes, Albert!

Never let's me down.

- Wow.

Alright, you ready?

- Shh, just like be

really, really slow.

Why are you shushing me?

Be really quiet.

People...

- There's literally

no one can hear us.

There are people.

Emma, just, I can't be seen.

Be cool, be cool, be cool.

Be cool, be cool.

- What if Mom finds out...

- Act cool dude.

I am acting cool.

You are not acting cool.

Oh my gosh.

Okay.

Okay we do have to go

directly by the church so...

Why are there people there?

- There's people there,

you think they saw me?

Oh my god they all saw you.

Oh my god!

- I'm just kidding,

nobody saw you.

- Emma...

- No stay down.

Okay.

Oh god.

Okay I'm down, I'm

down, I'm just...

(laughing)

Oh my god, oh my god.

- Why did you have

to make your wedding

at like the busiest

time in the morning?

I don't know why is...

- There are so many

people, hold on.

- Oh my god there

are so many people.

Oh my god.

Shh, shh, shh, be cool, be cool.

It's okay, we're just driving.

I know, I know.

Oh my god.

Okay we're past.

We're past!

- Oh my god.

(excited screaming)

("Go Back" by Darlingside)

Go back

To a world full of

strange and towering skies

And a chance to choose in time

To set out on our own way

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

No, I'm no doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

(cows mooing)

(laughing)

- I think those have been in

my car since like eighth grade.

(crying)

I can't even cry right.

What's happening to me?

Okay, okay.

It's like a weird cry laugh.

That happens sometimes.

Why?

- I don't know, I think that

we should pull over though.

- Okay.

- Yeah, you think so?

I think that that would be good.

We'll fix it.

Gonna fix it.

Okay, it's time

for the backpack.

Do you remember

the breakup rules?

- I created the

breakup rules for you,

do you remember that?

- Mm hmm.

- What's this?

Rule number one.

This is not part of the rules.

(sings)

Alcohol.

- Mm hmm.

- Wait you just like

have that handy?

Hey hey hey you're driving!

Fine.

Here.

Ooh, okay, good.

(coughing)

(sighs)

(breathing deeply)

How long do you think we have?

For what?

- Until every friend and

family member hates me.

Don't worry about it, okay?

I handled it.

I think I should call Charlie.

Um, yes, you should.

But first you need

your strength.

Rule number two.

- Chocolate.

- Mm hmm.

Oh god.

Oh god.

Mm.

My god.

This is the best

chocolate I've had

in a really long time.

- I know.

Okay.

You get one, very

short phone call.

Mm hmm.

I don't want us getting

deterred from rule number three.

Mm hmm.

Just give it to me.

- Okay.

- You know, I can't do this

when you're looking at me.

(laughs)

Right, no, good one.

Okay.

(phone ringing)

(phone vibrating)

It's her.

Millie?

I'm so glad you called.

I'm so nervous, you know?

And how are you, are you okay?

How are you feeling?

It's a good thing you

didn't video chat me.

Right, it's bad luck

to see the bride

before the wedding

and all that, so

I don't think hearing

your voice counts though...

Charlie.

Sorry, rambling.

Yes, my darling bride.

God you know soon

I can say wife.

Okay hold on one second.

He put me on hold.

What?

[Flower Girls] Thanks Charlie.

Hey, sorry about that.

Found some stray flower girls.

So how are you?

Millie?

I... wanted to tell you...

That I can't marry you.

What?

Millie where are you?

I can't... I can't see you.

I just wanted you

to hear it from me.

- Millie what are

you talking about?

Can you just tell

me where you are?

I'll come to wherever you are.

You know and you should

really see the sanctuary,

it's so perfect.

I feel like I can just see

us up there and the pews

are wrapped in lavender,

it's your favorite.

No I can't, I can't.

I can't go, I can't

come back, I can't.

- Of course you

can, you can do it.

Mills.

Remember junior prom?

We were all dressed up

and they had it outside

but it's May and May

means rain in Kansas.

Yeah it poured so hard.

- [Charlie] And we

just stayed in my car.

- I thought we were gonna

get hit by lightning.

- [Charlie] Just we

talked, you know?

We talked for hours.

Yeah.

It was perfect.

- [Charlie] Millie you

and I, we're perfect.

Oh god Charlie.

It just doesn't feel like

it's perfect anymore.

- Millie all of these

people are waiting

for us to get married.

- Well this is about us,

this isn't about them.

- [Charlie] If it's about

us then what's the problem?

We're meant to be together.

(pensive music)

I don't know.

I don't know about that.

- [Charlie] I can't

believe this is happening.

I can't either.

- [Charlie] Can you just

tell me where you are?

We need to talk about this.

I'm sorry.

Charlie I...

(phone goes dead)

(honking)

So?

I'm even more confused now.

Okay well...

There's no turning back now.

The damage is done.

I apologized to him.

What?

Ugh.

Jerk.

- What?

No.

No he's hurting, just like me.

I feel terrible.

It's gonna be okay.

Trust the system.

Ooh, there she is.

Alright, rule number

three, new look.

So let's get you out

of this situation.

Millie, how are you breathing?

I'm not.

Oh god Jesus Christ!

Out, out!

Ta da

What?

You couldn't have worn

these in the wedding?

- Oh you couldn't have

worn these to the wedding?

Hold that.

- Why do you have

a ukulele in there?

- You never know when the

mood's gonna strike, you know?

No.

What are these from your failed

t- shirt for millennial business?

I wouldn't say failed.

You know what?

You know what?

I'm good.

- Dude it's clean.

- It's been in the

back of Albert.

These look like you.

- Look, let's put

your ukulele back.

This thing.

- It's just a

beautiful brassiere,

I don't know what your issue is.

What are you...

Serio... oh my god, you are

the prudest person ever,

you know that?

Okay.

You're super covered now,

I can't see anything.

- Hey.

- Hmm?

What about Mom?

Oh, don't worry.

It's all handled.

(light music)

Come on, you know

what step four is.

- What if I want to

look at them again?

- No, no, you have

to delete it all.

Out with the old,

in with the new.

Yep.

- Did these rules

even work for you?

Because trying them

on for the first time,

I gotta be honest.

I think I may not have

known what I was doing.

Just trust the system.

Alright well...

I'm sure you have a plan.

- We are going to, wait

for it, Grandma's house.

What?

Yeah.

Well come on.

You've always loved

it at the farm.

- No I really haven't,

I'm not a farm girl.

- Well once a farm girl,

always a farm girl.

- Except for I was

never a farm girl.

That was always you out

with Grandma, you know?

Playing with the chickens

and goats and fish, ugh.

I mean is Grandma okay with it?

Of course.

Why, do you have a better idea?

No.

(phone vibrating)

Oh god, it's Mom.

Emma please, I don't want to.

- I can't take it.

- I don't wanna take it.

Please?

No, I'm driving a car.

(clears throat)

Hi Mom.

- [Mom] Where in the

absolute heck are you?

I'm with Emma.

- Okay well that's great

but you gotta get your butt

back upstairs, you've

got a wedding to perform.

- You said that

you handled this.

I did.

I did.

I did, I texted her.

- You texted her?

- Yeah.

You texted her?

- Oh Jesus.

- What?

Oh Jesus.

What?

- Um it didn't go

all the way through.

Emma, are you kidding me?

You are a nincompoop!

Millie, Millie, Millie.

What's going on?

We're all waiting!

I'm so sorry Mom.

Emma and I, we can't... we

can't come back.

I can't marry Charlie.

Calm down, everyone calm down!

Are you alright?

Are you physically alright?

Yeah.

- Then what the heck

is wrong with you?

Is this Emma's idea?

No, no.

Look I'm so sorry Mom, I...

- You can save your

apologies for your prayers,

Mildren Haven.

Have you thought

about this at all?

[Millie] Yes!

Of course I have.

(string quartet music)

Really?

'Cause it doesn't seem that way.

Can you please keep it down?

Honey, I know that this is

a very stressful day for you

and it's also gonna be

the best day of your life

and you've put me in a

little bit of a pickle.

I'm sorry Mom.

Have you talked to Charlie?

How does he feel about all this?

How does Charlie feel?

Mom have you even asked me

how I feel, do you care?

- Of course I do

sweetheart, it's just...

You couldn't come up

with this revelation

just a couple of months ago

before I paid all the deposits?

I gotta go sweetheart I

got a lot to do, okay?

I'll talk to you later.

- Okay look, I am really...

(phone goes dead)

What the hell Emma?

I said I'm sorry!

No you haven't!

Okay well I am.

How's Mom, is she okay?

Oh my god how is Mom?

How about me?

How about how is Millie?

I just left my wedding.

Hey Millie, how are you?

- No, don't ask me now, I

don't want you to ask me now!

- Shh, take some deep breaths,

just nice deep breaths.

I know exactly what you need.

(upbeat pop rock music)

This song?

Yeah.

- This is what you

thought I needed?

(feedback squealing)

Um.

There's been a change of plans.

("Face in the Moon" by

Springtime Carnivore)

Millie.

Come on, quick pit stop.

- Emma, no I'm really

not in the mood.

Come on, it'll be fun.

You're standing there

Brushing the comets

out of your hair

Are you coming back to her

Yeah okay.

- Okay.

For a little while

You think that love

Always rises out of your reach

It's a cold and distant thing

You can barely see

Calling to the dark

Is anybody out there

Woo!

Is anybody out there

Come on Millie!

That's when I fall apart

You gotta try this!

I'm the one right here

I'm the one right here

Oh I hope you see it soon

(phone vibrating)

Are you gonna find that

Face in the moon

- Look Millie, I'm

giving you some time.

Just say the word and I'm there.

I love you.

I hope to talk to you soon.

You don't like it easy

No no

You don't like sure

I press my hands to the glass

Of the revolving door

All your pain

You're spinning

like a weathervane

And you know I would be

The end of your storm

Calling to the dark

Is anybody out there

Is anybody out there

That's when I fall apart

I'm the one right here

I'm the one right here

Oh I hope you see it soon

I applied to law school.

In DC.

Are you gonna find

that face in the moon

What?

No way!

Do Mom and Dad know?

No.

I haven't told them,

I haven't told anyone.

Oh Charlie would

k*ll me if he knew.

He wants to put a down

payment on a house.

Well he wanted to.

But if I get in, I

would move in the fall.

- Millie that is

such a big deal.

I know.

(laughing)

There is this historic

prosecutor who lectures there.

I'd really like to

be the tough guy.

You are a tough guy.

(laughing)

Yeah, we'll see.

- You're gonna be

a real grown up.

I don't know about that.

Charlie and I spent so much

time talking about Tupperware

and sofas and cable providers.

Mmm, cable providers.

Sounds like such a sexy time,

I hope you used protection.

[Millie] Ha ha.

- No really, I had this

one friend who dabbled

in cable providers

and got a nasty...

[Millie] Okay, got it.

It sounds nice.

Yeah it was nice.

Just wasn't what

I thought it'd be.

Everything's different now.

Hey remember our girl g*ng?

- Yeah I still have

the lyric book.

- Only the greatest punk

rock band there ever was.

- Mom must have thought

we were actually insane.

- Oh I will never forget you

in those platform sneakers

telling her off.

I object!

Emma has as much right

to a crop top as anyone!

You were a lawyer even then.

Really proud of you.

I haven't gotten in yet.

You will.

This is so weird.

Emma, you and me.

We don't talk anymore.

(soft country music)

- Steven used to be

obsessed with this song.

Used to say that it

reminded him of me.

- Yeah whatever

happened to Steven?

We grew apart.

I'm sorry babe.

Dad made me a mix tape.

- No way.

- Yeah.

That is too good.

- I don't think he

knew what to say.

Dad's cheer up mix.

Is it weird that I want one?

It's mostly Patsy Cline.

- Huh, Patsy Cline,

classy broad.

- She's the patron saint

of country heartbreak.

I go out walkin'

After midnight

Searchin' for you

- Searchin' for

you, that's right.

(light music)

Girl g*ng!

(dings)

Ooh.

(ice rumbling)

So what are you thinking?

- I was thinking a little

grape, maybe a little Pepper.

Hmm.

- Maybe finish off

with a little Sprite.

See I'm a Sprite base.

Orange, and hint of

lemonade guy myself.

Wow, sounds very pink.

- I'm comfortable

with my sexuality.

I bet you are.

(moaning)

Where you from?

Kansas City.

This is kinda gross?

- You don't like

being kissed there?

- No no I love that, this

place that we're in is

a little bit gross.

- Oh believe me, this place

is as clean as it gets.

I'm only working

here for the summer.

Uh huh.

I'm saving up for med school.

Stay with my uncle

over in Marcy.

That's great.

Do you know it?

- Yep actually my grandma

lives there, oh my god.

Oh no way!

You guys close?

Yes, we're close.

(moaning)

So do you wanna go see

a play this weekend?

The community theater's putting

up A Midsummer Night's Dream

in the park.

Maybe we could take a picnic.

Um actually my sister's...

You know what, I kinda thought

that this was gonna be like

a quick fun thing so I should...

- What?

- Yeah, I should...

I should go.

Oh wait, wait.

Just let it be whatever

it wants to be.

I was about to make

some very bad decisions.

- Um yeah I was

just I had to pee.

Oh that is a great idea.

Here would you?

I'm gonna go do that.

Oh no no no no no no.

I have no cash.

Yeah so.

- You brought vodka

and a voodoo doll.

I know.

- But you didn't

think to bring money.

- Ah, stupid, so dumb but

you know could you just,

do you mind just

getting this round?

My purse is in the car.

You know what?

Oh my gosh!

I just remembered.

I have cash.

I just spaced I guess.

Okay.

Weirdo.

Thank you.

Do you mind getting the gas?

It's on number two.

Oh sure yeah.

You know what?

Get something for yourself

because it's your money.

(laughing)

Classic.

Ready to go?

Yeah yeah all set.

- What's up with you?

- Hmm?

What?

Nothing.

It's so hot huh?

Mm hmm.

(banging)

Albert.

- He just needs

a little coaxing.

- Oh no, he just

needed a new condenser.

- Oh please, condenser

schmendenser.

That's what he needs.

(light music)

What?

Nothing.

Oh my god!

You are gonna get us k*lled.

(laughing)

- Oh man.

What?

What is so funny?

- Nothing, you're just

like a testosterone magnet.

Whatever.

- No really, you

should teach a class.

It's a skill.

Oh please, shove it.

- I might actually just need

your help with number five.

Do something hot and wrong?

Yep.

Oh I got you.

(light music)

(chickens clucking)

- [Millie] I really

remember it being bigger.

You are so weird.

- Oh I don't want the

neighbors to hear us.

That is ridiculous.

Any neighbor is

like a mile away.

You're being really rude.

- I'm not the one

whisper yelling.

Whatever, just be quiet.

(chicken squawks)

Ah, oh god!

(laughing)

Who's loud now?

Hi Macaroni.

Do you remember me?

- It's a chicken, it's

not gonna remember you.

You don't know that.

We were very close,

Macaroni and I.

There are wolves here.

Or coyotes or something.

When does Grandma

get back anyway?

- Oh she won't be here

for like three days.

- Grandma's really gotten

into ceramics, huh?

Yeah and cats.

- I am really tired, you

wanna just go to bed?

That is a great idea.

Oh!

What seriously?

Finders keepers.

What are we, six?

I was just jilted at my wedding.

- Ooh, I think that

you were the one

who did the jilting.

Oh I swear to god.

- If you're so picky just

go sleep in Grandma's room.

No, I won't.

Why not?

- Because I don't

wanna be alone.

God.

Oh my god.

It is so hot!

- I think the air

conditioning broke.

Sweat out those toxins!

- [Charlie] Hey baby, I'd

really love to talk to you.

You know I never got to

see you in your dress?

I tried to cancel our trip

with the airlines, I just...

Anyways, Millie I'm

gonna give you time.

But just say the

word and I'm there.

I love you, hope to

talk to you soon.

Emma.

(creaking)

Emma.

(farts)

Emma!

Gross.

(gentle music)

Hello!

(screams)

Oh my god are you okay?

What's wrong?

What?

(groans)

Emma are you serious?

I thought something terrible

had happened in here!

It did!

- Oh my god, sometimes I forget

that you're still a child.

- Oh my god, that's

a big spider.

Grow up.

Come here little spider.

Come on.

There we go.

Whoa.

(shouting)

Speak for yourself.

Bye.

Okay I'm hungry,

let's go to Dolly's.

What?

No, no can we just stay here

for a little bit longer?

No, I'm starving.

Let's go.

- I'm so tired.

- Oh my god.

- I can't move.

- Thank you.

(cows mooing)

(gentle music)

Hey Mom.

- Hi honey.

Did you get my texts?

You holding up okay?

Yeah.

Yeah yeah yeah,

thanks for asking.

Thanks for everything

by the way.

[Mom] Of course.

I wanted to say I'm

so sorry I yelled.

I was so stressed,

but you know what?

We worked it all out

and everyone took home

a mini cupcake so all

was not lost, right?

Oh well that's nice.

[Mom] Yeah.

Where are you?

Do you want me to

come be with you?

No.

No no no no.

I just... I need some

space, you know?

We're at Grandma's.

- [Mom] I remember when

your dad and I split.

I went to Orlando for a week.

Have you seen Charlie?

- [Mom] Yeah, I saw him

right as he was leaving.

And, how is he, is he okay?

[Mom] Uh... yeah?

I guess.

How okay could he be?

I don't understand what

happened between you two.

Honestly.

- We just weren't

meant to be, Mom.

- [Mom] Okay, you

just seemed so happy.

And honey you know all

I want in the world

is your happiness, right?

Uh yeah, I know.

- [Mom] Good, good

sweetheart, I'm glad.

Hey how's Emma, are

you guys getting along?

- She's good.

- Good.

- No she's great, she's

taking good care of me.

(laughs)

- Really?

Oh!

I didn't get a

chance to tell you.

Do not let her drive, okay?

What?

- [Mom] Yeah she

can't drive right now.

You gotta be kidding me, why?

- [Mom] She got a DUI and

her license was suspended.

Mom.

[Mom] She can't know you know.

She's so embarrassed by it.

Just insist on

driving, okay lovey?

- Mom, she drove me

the whole way here.

[Mom] What?

Millie how could

you let that happen?

- Well you could have

told me something earlier!

- [Mom] I've had quite a

bit on my plate, missy.

Someone walked out on her

wedding and created a madhouse

of 200 heartbroken people

and I can't get my refund

from Chef Souza.

- Okay okay okay.

I'm sorry, okay.

- Okay, alright, thank you.

Thank you, I appreciate that.

(pensive music)

I'm on the phone!

I'm not really hungry,

you'll know when I am.

Chicken breast and a salad,

dressing on the side.

Oh wait no you know

what I want some...

- Hey Mom?

- Yeah?

Yeah, I'm here.

- How did you know

that you and Dad

couldn't be together anymore?

- [Mom] Well I guess we just

weren't meant to be, honey.

Thank you.

[Mom] You're welcome baby.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Promise?

Yeah.

Oh Mom.

- Yeah?

What?

- Um... do you think you might

be able to go to our apartment

and get my mail?

Maybe send anything

that looks important?

Or just call, you

know, whatever.

Whatever's easiest, I just...

I don't really

wanna ask Charlie.

- [Mom] Sure, of

course I can sweetie.

Thanks.

[Mom] I love you.

I love you.

Bye.

- Bye.

[Emma] Okay, I'm ready.

You can't wear that.

Why?

This is like my

most popular shirt.

- Yeah you're gonna

have to change.

(light music)

(sighs)

(singing)

Is it better?

Sure.

Oh bye Macaroni.

That's a different chicken.

They're all Macaroni to me.

- That's okay I

got it, I'll drive.

- Oh please, you're

in a weakened state.

You've driven plenty.

No really, I don't mind.

Don't...

Don't be a child, Emma.

Look I didn't want to say this.

But Mom told me.

Oh.

That's none of your business.

What happened?

You're not an idiot, why

would you drive drunk?

It's not what you think.

You lied.

And we had a bottle

of vodka in the car,

that's really messed up Emma.

I'm a good driver.

- That's not the point.

- I know.

You put yourself at risk.

You really need to think

about what you're doing.

- I was thinking that I

was taking care of you.

- I don't need you

to take care of me.

Yeah clearly not.

(light music)

- [Dolly] Carl, keep

that bacon coming.

(text notifications dinging)

Yes, three bars, finally.

Well.

What can I get you

ladies this morning?

(laughing)

Emma!

- Hi Dolly!

Millie.

Well I understand you're

a married lady now.

It didn't work out.

Oh.

You know what they say.

They say breakfast

makes anything better.

(laughing)

- Amen.

- Amen.

And y'all looking so pretty.

Why wasn't that long ago

that you all were in here

bouncing up and

down on the tables.

I know.

Two Dolly specials

and hot apple pie.

- That sounds nice.

- Absolutely.

Absolutely?

Absolutely.

Coming right up ladies.

Thanks Dolly.

- Emma, if Dolly knows

that means the whole town

is gonna know.

You don't know that.

What?

Marcy Swap and Shop.

Mildren Haven seeks new groom.

You've gotta be kidding me.

(gasps)

I am.

Emma could you...

Could you please put that away?

This is actually

really hard for me.

What?

Everyone is staring at me.

- Nobody here gives

a hoot about you.

Wow thanks.

Tough love, baby dove.

- Should I call Charlie?

- What?

Just you know check in.

No, no!

You don't leave a man

at the alter and then

grovel at his feet.

Woman up, Millie.

I think you should

take that off.

(pensive music)

Ah.

Okay.

I think we should play a game.

- A game?

- Mm hmm.

It's called tiny thefts.

Okay.

Here's how it goes.

We each do a lap

around the diner

on our way to the

restroom or whatever.

And we steal something small,

we bring it back to the table

and we compare and whoever

stole the best thing

gets a prize.

- Emma I'm not gonna

steal something.

- You don't know

what the prize is.

Okay, what's the prize?

One million dollars.

No it's not.

- Winner gets to drive.

- No.

Top bunk.

- Okay.

- Yes.

Tiny thefts.

You go first.

No no no no.

No nubes go first.

- You literally just made this

game up, how are there rules?

- Oh and it has to fit

in the palm of your hand.

What, are you kidding me?

These are the rules.

Excuse me.

(murmuring)

Can you eat something else?

- Yeah, of course I

can eat something else,

I always can eat something else.

(chuckles)

How about them Belgian waffles?

What are you thinking?

No man, I'm too full.

Some key lime pie?

You don't need any more.

- Oh my god, oh

my god, I did it!

- Real suave.

- I did it!

Is that a wallet?

- No no no no, you're supposed

to steal something small

like a salt shaker or something.

What?

- Yeah no what happens

when these people

wanna pay for their check?

Oh yeah.

You have to go put that back.

- Well I haven't gone yet, and

I'm pretty sure I would win

because I wouldn't do

something that would get us...

Oh definitely not.

Oh you have no idea.

- You can't even

just let me win.

There's so many tiny things!

- It was your stupid

idea in the first place!

- My stupid idea wasn't

to steal somebody's money

it was just to

steal somebody's...

- Do you like me?

- I guess I like you.

- You're prettier

than me, take it.

That is insane, I am not...

- Take it.

- Why?

Excuse me ma'am.

Were you just over

there by my mama?

Seems like we're

missing something.

I...

- Now I'm gonna ask you

nicely to give it back!

You know we're good people.

There wasn't much

money in there anyways.

(laughing)

Oh my god!

What's wrong with her?

I'm so sorry, here.

Thank you.

- She just left a

man at the alter

and they've been together

for almost a decade.

- Oh my god.

- I know.

Oh my god.

Honey I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, that's so sad.

So sad.

I mean.

I... you... this was... I... I feel

guilty like for everything.

And I don't know...

- No no no it's not

your fault sweetie.

He sounds like a real loser.

(laughs)

You really spooked us.

You can't go around

stealing people's wallets.

I know!

I don't do that.

We're not stealers.

- Not usually, no.

- No.

You look like you need a hug.

She does!

- I don't want a

hug, I don't think...

Stanley, what are you doing?

Can't believe you.

You take care, alright?

Okay, we'll do that sir.

Two Dolly specials.

Hot apple pie coming up next.

Thank you Dolly.

You girls take your time.

It's so good to see you.

Yes.

- Don't steal my salt

shakers now hear?

Oh, one time.

You win.

Well, I'm about ready for a nap.

- A nap?

- Mm hmm.

- I'm still like shaking,

I'm like physically shaking.

Um...

What?

No.

- Please?

No.

No way.

- Please.

I'm wrecked.

No.

- Please?

Please?

Please?

Please?

I really hate the puppy face.

I've never like the puppy...

- Please please

please please please.

Go, please go.

- Really?

- Yes, go.

Hooray!

Today is the greatest day.

Don't fall.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Hello.

Welcome.

Can I help you find something?

I'm just browsing.

Are you guys sisters?

Yeah.

She has great taste.

I think I can help

you find something.

Do you need a fitting room?

[Emma] Found it!

- I think these would

work perfectly for you.

Okay.

Oh that is so your style.

Thank you.

Did you find some stuff?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Let me know if I can help you.

(pensive music)

[Emma] Hey Mills!

We doing okay in there?

- You know nothing puts

a smile on your face

like a nice new outfit.

That's so true.

He really knows his stuff.

Yeah let's go.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't I look fine?

- I actually have a few

more things to try on so...

Fantastic.

I will meet you back at the car.

- Okay, one moment,

I'm so sorry.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Yeah.

- This is great, I am just

having a fantastic time.

- I thought that you

would want a chance

to change out of my shorts

and that this would be fun.

Yeah.

That's, sure, right.

- You are acting

like a crazy person.

Well aren't you just perfect?

- Millie, I just

want to help you.

Okay, I really do, and

I'm kind of at a loss.

I don't know what

you want from me

so what do want from me, what?

I just, stop, stop!

I want you to leave me alone.

Okay, I can do that.

I'm gonna buy some clothes

so I can keep some semblance

of being a human being.

Fantastic.

- Awesome, do you wanna

go get some groceries?

I can do that.

- Great, I know you can.

- Great, awesome.

- Are you going to buy

that dress as well?

You should.

Thank you, yes.

Hi, welcome.

(light music)

You find everything?

Uh, yeah.

I heard this is a good time.

Yeah, it's great.

Hmm.

Didn't know we sold these.

Milk.

That's a weird word if

you say it enough times.

Milk.

Boy I never seen them

all connected like that,

that's weird.

(buzzes)

Hey Jeff, can we get a price

check on these tomatoes?

There's five of them.

- You know, I don't

want the tomatoes.

- You sure?

- Mm hmm.

- They're in season,

these are good too.

That's cool but I'm good.

Actually, could you

move a little faster?

I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry.

And you're really

taking your time.

(clears throat)

Hey.

My sister's just feeling a

little bit overheated, you know.

She doesn't understand the

stress that a cashier is under.

Why don't you go get

yourself a little gumball?

There's so many, they're so

pretty, so many varieties.

Come on.

Yes the amount of pressure

that cashiers face every day,

all day, unrecognized.

I'm a sales associate.

Sales, right, of course.

I'm so sorry, sales associate.

Yes.

What was your name?

I'm Ford.

Like the car.

Oh that is a cool name.

Well I'm Emma and that's...

(rattling)

That's Mildred.

Having a bit of a day.

Oh there it is.

I watch a lot of

food TV you know,

like cooking challenge

shows, recipe shows,

chef personality shows.

My friend Remy once

told me about a show

where they made chefs

fight at the end.

I was like Remy

that can't be real,

he's like it is.

I'm like alright, 'cause

I'll believe anything,

but I wouldn't doubt it.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

That's really cool.

- Anyway I also got a

crazy memory for recipes.

I just retain 'em and

I can just spout off

like 100 recipes right off the

top of my head, it's weird.

- Well I would

love to hear that.

- Yeah there's this

one pasta pesto dish

I been dying to make.

I can give you the

recipe if you want it.

Would you?

Thank you so much.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You wanna pass me that bag

and I'll start bagging?

Oh thanks Mills.

- Yeah just you know do

something to get us outta here.

- I'll write this up

for you right now, miss.

Pesto.

- I don't even know

what is in pesto.

- So you just get it

premade, you just...

- Yeah they have

like jars of it.

So pesto, pasta.

Big water.

- Five salts.

- Yep.

So is that?

You know what, yeah,

that sounds good.

(text notifications dinging)

- What the hell?

- Oh my god!

Sue me for having like one

person to send a text to.

Albert is not turning on.

Well did you stall him?

Would you like to try?

I would love to actually.

(engine sputtering)

What can I say?

He has bad days.

He's been doing

really good so far.

We've gotten this

far, haven't we?

I cannot believe you.

- How can this

possibly be my fault?

I have a shitty car, sue me.

- You know you always manage

to make every day worse.

- Yeah well you've been

a real beam of sunshine.

I cannot believe you.

Me?

Really?

Aren't you supposed to

be the responsible one?

No I mean like isn't that

what you tell yourself?

You're the one driving

now, aren't you?

- I have always taken care

of you and you know that.

You've taken care of me.

Really?

- Yeah.

- No really, you think that

that's what's been happening?

Yes!

- You know what I take it

back, I don't like you.

Good, I don't like you either.

Great.

So there is a reason that

this hasn't been happening.

- Absolutely.

- Awesome.

(train whistle blowing)

You like it, don't you?

The way men just fall

over themselves for you.

- Oh come on!

- No you need to understand

something Emma, the

way that you come off.

Yeah, how do I come off?

Slutty.

Really?

Really you're gonna

sl*t shame me now?

Well you know what Millie?

I think that you could use a

little slutty in your life.

Yeah no then maybe you

wouldn't be so afraid about

having sex you unlovable,

self-absorbed b*tch!

(gasps)

(tense music)

(engine starting)

Come on, it's too hot.

Did any mail come for me?

Oh so are we talking now?

Is that what we're doing?

Come on.

No.

Why?

- I'm waiting on

that letter from DC.

We just got here Millie.

That's not really

how mail works.

Why don't you just

wait til tomorrow

and check it when we get home?

What do you mean?

Aren't we leaving?

I can't.

No that's way too much for me.

Mom.

Dad's face.

I don't want a sad mix tape.

I just need some privacy.

Okay well that I can do.

Emma.

(pensive music)

(laughing)

Emma, let's go downstairs.

There's no TV downstairs.

You planned this, didn't you?

[Millie] Yep.

Yes.

(thunder rumbling)

How does Grandma have

a Darlingside album?

I have no idea.

She's got style though,

gotta give her that.

("Blow the House

Down" by Darlingside)

People have places

And the places have

the people's dreams

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

And down and down and

down and blow the house down

Blow the house down and

down and blow the house down

Emma Haven.

You really are something.

There's a song for the robbers

On the other

side of windowpanes

A song for the cowboys

Held up in

hundred-mile-an-hour trains

And there's one for the

lovers, and one for the sinners

That they sing in the pews

Short of distinctions

I'd say we've all grown

tired of singing blues

Oh

(groans)

Emma.

What?

Get up, get up.

- No, we gotta go upstairs

before we fall asleep down here.

What?

No this is good.

I'm cozy.

- My head hurts.

- Such a wuss.

Why would you do that to me?

(car pulling up)

(gasps)

I'll show you who a wuss is.

That really wasn't that tough.

(thunder rumbling)

(cries out)

- Oh whoa whoa whoa...

- Oh god!

Whoa, are you okay?

Yeah, I...

Hey!

Just stay back,

don't come close.

Okay yeah no I surrender.

Please, don't cook me.

You should probably stay inside.

Tornado watch is in order

for another hour or so.

- Oh watch, smatch, I only

go inside for warnings.

Oh I see.

A true midwesterner.

Yeah.

We would sit on our porch

and watch 'em go by.

Cool, yeah.

I'm Blake.

Millie.

This is my grandma's house.

- Oh Mildred's your grandma.

- Mm hmm.

Cool, cool.

I'm staying with my uncle

for the summer, Rodney.

Yeah well, he pretty much

just keeps to himself.

Mildred asked me to keep

an eye on the animals

and then he asked me to

come over and make sure

they didn't get too spooked

here with the weather.

Of course.

- She was going down to her

granddaughter's wedding?

Were you there?

Yeah.

It was lovely.

Nice.

Uh... so what's with the weapon?

I was making eggs.

Uh huh.

I'm sorry if I scared you.

No, you didn't scare me.

I was just weird.

Stay still.

(hits)

- Ow!

Ah, just saved your life.

Thanks for that.

I like it out here.

It's good when you need a place

to be alone and just think.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

- I'm gonna go check on the

chickens if you wanna come.

- Oh that's exactly

where I was headed.

Sure, just you know,

don't get too close.

(chickens clucking)

Looks like the chickens

are still here.

(chuckles)

Yeah, looks like it.

You wanna do a lap

around the silo?

Yeah.

That's a great idea.

Love that idea.

- [Blake] So you're

just visiting?

[Millie] Yeah.

[Blake] Bummer.

I just mean there aren't

a whole lot of people

to hang out with here in Marcy.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you wanna get married?

- Wow Millie I'm

flattered but we just met.

No, no not with me.

God I just meant like in life.

I dunno, maybe someday.

- Yeah I really thought

I was gonna get married

but now I'm not so sure.

I just keep thinking about

all the things I wanna do,

you know?

Well.

I think whoever you marry

should help you do those things,

not keep you from doing them.

Yeah, I totally agree.

(hits)

Ow!

Wow.

- Got him.

Two in a night.

Look at that, that is fantastic.

So maybe I'll see you around.

- Yeah I mean... I

would... maybe tomorrow.

- I just meant maybe

I'll see you around.

Kinda have a girlfriend.

I mean we haven't really talked

about it so I don't really

know for sure but

she's just so great.

Of course.

You'd really like her.

You actually kinda

remind me of her.

Ah!

- Alright.

- Okay.

Yep, both going this way.

(rooster crowing)

(light music)

Hey.

Good news, the power's back

on so that means coffee, woo.

Do you want any

breakfast, eggs, bread?

How do you want me

to cook your eggs?

Fried?

- You want me to

poach your eggs?

Scrambled?

- There we go,

that's more like it.

Oh my god, eggs.

That's a far cry from how

we used to eat here as kids.

What's the name of that

cereal we used to eat.

Ooh, chocolate puffs.

- I thought I was

chocolate crisps.

Nuh uh.

Coco Nuggets, you ingrates.

- Grandma!

- Hi Grandma!

- What in tarnation are

you doing at my house?

You didn't tell her?

- I...

- No.

No she did not, nobody

tells me anything.

Oh Grandma I'm so so sorry.

Mm hmm.

You know Millie, you've

caused a lot of trouble.

But this is some next level BS.

I thought you knew.

- Would I let you wallow

in self-pity alone?

Absolutely not.

I was cleaning up

the mess you made.

Little did I think I'd

return to more mess.

- I'm sorry, let me

help you with that.

(gasping)

Oh!

Waffle iron.

Ba ba ba ba ba!

We're going to

write apology notes

and return every

single one of those

so don't get any big ideas.

Wait are all of these for me?

- Yes, they're all

for you goofleberry

and the cake is in the car.

You mean the groom's cake.

It's the least you can do.

- Well Grandma please

just throw it out,

it's gotta be stale.

I'm not above it.

Never waste a good cake.

She gets it.

Grandma, why didn't you just

mail these from Kansas City?

It's gonna cost a

fortune from here.

Don't you worry.

Go on, get.

- Ow!

- Ow!

God look where you're going.

Get in the car.

- God I cannot believe that

you didn't tell Grandma.

- This is exactly my

problem with you Emma.

You're a pathological liar.

Oh my god, no I'm not!

Please don't yell at me.

- You're the one

whisper yelling!

(gentle music)

[Emma] What have I done now?

[Millie] You upset Grandma!

[Emma] She seems fine.

It's kinda fun having her here.

[Millie] Fun?

Oh yeah great, splendiferous.

- Splendiferous, really.

Yeah, look it up.

- [Emma] You're just

gonna walk away?

What?

I have a date with

the hand number guy.

[Millie] A date, seriously?

(knocking)

You're leaving?

- Who is it?

[Emma] I'll be back.

- Whatever you're selling

we've already got it.

It's for me.

- Well you can't be

too careful these days.

I've got a walk in closet full

of Wilderness Girl cookies.

(clears throat)

- Hi.

- Hi.

Thank you.

[Blake] Wow I was just here.

[Emma] Grandma, this is Blake.

- [Blake] Mildred,

yeah we go way back.

- Well hi, nice

to see you again.

Thanks for watching my place.

Oh my pleasure.

- Can I offer you a

glass of iced tea?

Cake?

- Oh no no no, we

have tickets, right?

So we should probably go?

- Yeah we probably

should get going.

- Yeah.

Sorry.

- [Emma] Blake this

is my sister Millie.

Hey Blake.

It is so nice to meet you, wow.

You take good care of this one

'cause she's my little sister

and you know what

don't stay out too late

'cause we have dinner plans.

Huh.

No worries.

It was a pleasure to

meet you as well, Millie.

Yeah.

Okay.

Now that we've all met and,

you know, shaken hands,

been sufficiently awkward,

I think that we can go.

Right?

- Yeah.

(clicks)

Nice seeing you.

You have fun!

So much fun, all the fun.

What?

Everything's cool.

- Isn't he a cool

drink of water?

- Yep, Emma always

catches that worm.

Oh the hot ones go to Emma.

- I want some tea,

do you want some tea?

Oh yeah I'd love some tea.

And cake.

Ooh, you got it.

(knocking)

Don't get up, I

got it, I got it.

(knocking)

What'd you guys leave something?

What do I do?

Open the door.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

- I just really

wanted to talk to you.

Brought your mail.

Oh.

- You know I have to

do my childs poses.

If you don't mind, could

you move this to the porch?

(pensive music)

[Charlie] You okay?

I've been better.

Yeah me too.

Mills, hey.

You know I've had a lot of

time to think about this

and I got a lot to say.

Is that alright?

I love you.

I love you so much and

I've loved you for so long

and so deeply, so purely

and I've spent eight

incredible years with you.

I know.

- So can we just get out

of here please, together?

I'm here to win you

back, Mildred Haven.

Oh Charlie.

- I love you and I

accept you, all of you.

If you apologize I'll take

you back in an instant.

An apology?

- I've just been feeling

terrible, I'm sure you have too.

We just gotta come

back together.

- I don't wanna be

with you, Charlie.

You don't mean that.

You don't mean

that baby, come on.

What about our plan?

The plan?

The yellow house.

- That's not me anymore,

I don't want that.

(laughs)

- Babe, come on,

of course you do.

It's what we've talked

about, babe that's the dream.

I don't want the yellow house.

I want arguments, I want

big cities and trouble.

Okay you can have both.

I can give you both.

- Oh god I knew you were

gonna say that, Charlie.

Charlie you are the

kindest man that I know,

and it makes me feel guilty

that I'm not more kind

or sweet or perfect.

- But you are perfect,

you're perfect for me.

- No, no I'm not, I'm

not, and I know that

and I'm okay with that,

I'm... I'm figuring that out.

- Can you just come

home with me please?

Can we just go home and we

can figure this out together?

Charlie.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you.

I just can't.

Is this because of Emma?

'Cause this doesn't sound like

you, this sounds like her.

I knew it.

I knew it as soon

as you two took off.

Can we just talk about this?

- Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!

Oh my god it doesn't matter.

You know what it

doesn't matter because

the last few days without

you have been happier

than I can ever

remember feeling.

And do you know what

that freedom feels like?

It feels like summer.

It feels like all the

things that I didn't think

I was allowed to feel.

I was just doing what I

thought I was supposed to do

but that is not the

same as loving someone.

("Moon River" by Sara Morgan)

Moon river, wider than a mile

I'm crossin' you

in style some day

Old dream maker,

I'm goin' your way

(clanks)

Dropped your weapon.

Thank you Blake.

Nice to see you Millie.

I'm gonna talk to

you soon, okay?

- Great yeah.

- Okay yeah.

(light music)

You're looking real good.

So.

You met Blake.

Sure did, yep.

And?

- Probably a little

too muscular for me.

Sure.

But you know, to each his own.

What?

- I dunno, just you know the

next time that you ask out

my man friend could you

please just tell me about it?

If you could communicate

that to me with words

that would just be helpful.

- I talked to Charlie.

- No!

Don't change the subject.

He's actually really

important to me.

Oh, sorry.

- But I mean, how many

hot guys did you think

there were in Marcy?

Everyone's so geriatric.

- You know when you

put it like that.

- Right?

- Mm hmm.

So.

You called Charlie.

Mm, nn nn, he came here.

What?

Way to bury the lede!

He was here.

- Yeah.

Where is he now?

He's gone.

He's gone?

He's gone.

Gone gone.

Well good for you.

Girl g*ng.

- Girl g*ng.

- Boop.

(laughing)

(gentle music)

- Emma?

- Hmm?

- Hey chickadees, what's

all that squawking about?

(laughing)

[Both] Nothing.

- You know you girls are so

lucky to have each other.

Growing up with four

brothers is hard.

I do love 'em, but oh my

sweet lord, they were a pain.

All I ever wanted was

a good girl friend.

And I tried, but... I was

sharp around the edges.

I look at you two and I

think how great it must be

to have someone

that just gets you.

Sisters are special.

You have someone to

be different with.

Now, whatever is going

on between you two,

you need to let it

out, let it all out.

Howl at the moon,

and then let it go.

Because there will never

be someone as important

as the one standing

right next to you.

So get off your

darn high horses.

You know what to do.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

- That was good.

(laughing)

You know Emma, ever

since you were a baby

you knew exactly

what you wanted.

Now one day you decided

that I was your favorite.

Well I felt so special.

I was the only one that

could make you stop crying.

And then the next day

it'd be someone else.

Huh.

- But the only one that

could always make you laugh

whether they cared

about it or not...

Wait, really?

- You two are very

important to each other.

I think it's time you stopped

being such boneheads about it.

- Grandma what was

I like as a baby?

Fussy.

(scoffs)

You sure were darn cute though.

You were cute.

Mm hmm, I heard that.

- Yeah, not present

tense, past tense.

Hey Mills?

Yeah.

Think I need to talk to you.

I don't wanna go.

- What?

No no, I was gonna say I

kind of want to go alone.

- Oh I wanna stay

here for the summer.

I wanna stay and see

what happens with Blake.

It needs to be whatever

it wants to be.

- Emma Haven look at you,

jumping off the deep end!

- Is that okay?

- Yes!

You finally found a good

one, I am so proud of you.

Ugh.

- No this'll be good,

this will be good.

I'll swing by home

for damage control,

and then I'll do

the drive to DC.

What?

What if you don't get in?

I'll just figure it out.

- Millie Haven and

not having a plan!

Well I learned from the best.

- Oh that's true!

- That's you.

(laughing)

- Guess I can't use

these, but, you know what?

I think he likes you.

- Me?

- Mm hmm.

(gentle music)

Albert you're my number five.

Hey.

You forgot these.

(uplifting music)

Hit the dashboard,

just whack it!

Turn on the wipers,

hit the dashboard.

[Millie] Got it!

Woo!

("Go Back" by Darlingside)

We were always on our way

Rolling up our sleeves

Ever moving forward

In the tracks where we

lived our simple lives

Kept our blinders on

Eyes to the horizon

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

And return to who we were

Before we disappeared

Into the thick of big ideas

Now we can see

the sweeping view

But we're waiting

out the storm

Stuck under the awning

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

Into everglades, greener

yesterdays, skip the stones away

Go back to the start

Photos in the darkroom

before they fade

So we hold to who we are

Even into the arc

Beyond our furthest edges

To a world full of

strange and towering skies

And a chance to choose in time

To set out on our own way

I know I'm no

doctor but I know

No doctor but I know

You can't live in the past

But the only way

to go is to go back

(gentle music)
