...we are what we pretend to be.

So we must be careful

about what we pretend to be.

Hi.

So, I made this for you.

My name is Finn Elliot.

[ Screams ]

f*ck!

-[Eve] Hey!

-[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

[ Screams ]

[Eve] Clay!

Would you get out here?!

[ Screams ]

[ Crow caws ]

[ Telephone rings ]

[Eve] What is it, baby?

[ Telephone rings ]

Clay!

[ Telephone rings ]

Sweet Pea.

Have you got something

you want to tell me?

[ Door opens ]

[Finn]

These are my parents.

[Clay]

Eve, what's going on here?

You okay, buddy?

Take some deep breaths.

Look decent!

What if the neighbors see you?

-I was asleep, pumpkin.

[Finn] I don't think

Mom wanted me so young,

but abortion is a sin.

Honey, can I talk to you

for a second?

That was Curtis' mom.

She says Finn punched him up.

Oh, my Lord.

[Clay] Yeah, it's bad.



Yeah.



Thanks, Mom.



You look gorgeous.

[Finn]

Dad goes along with her.

Oh, my God.

Let's go get some food.

I'm gonna cook you

something nice.

[Finn] It's easier.



-After

-After

-Laughter

-Your laughter

Comes tears

There'll be tears

Not much happens in this town.

[ Vehicle approaches,

tires screech ]

You got to make

your own trouble.

Always

What the f*ck

is wrong with you?!

What kind of person

lies in the middle of the road?

[Finn]

I was planning on su1c1de.



I guess

I wasn't paying attention.



But then I found Eliza.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

She's different.

She makes me feel...things.



My parents would lock me

in my room for hours.

[Eve] You are the man

of this house!

I'm telling you. I'm not going

back down to that school.

[ Door opens ]



Son, I have to

lock you in tonight.



Please don't.

Sorry. It's for your own good.

Dad, he made fun of me.

He was calling me names.

I -- I believe you, son.

But you just can't hurt

someone like that.

There are other ways.

-Mom hates me.

-She -- No.

[Eve] Oh, my Lord.

She's just disappointed.

She'll be alright tomorrow.

[Eve] I have to do everything

in this house.

I am watching

"Wheel of Fortune."

Nobody talk to me!

It'll be alright.



















[ Whistle blows ]





[Finn] I hate school.

It's pointless.

I wouldn't even bother

coming here, but...

...her sister, Corinna,

is in my class.



[ Door opens ]





Hi. I'm Miss Anna Beth Joy,

and I'll be your sub today.

Looks you have a pop quiz today.

[Finn]

This is so useless.

[Miss Joy] Please pass

these back. Here you go.

Here's one for you.

And you will have

10 minutes to complete it.

Books down.

Everything away, please.

Excuse me.

Put your book away, please.

-Did you hear me?

-[ Tapping on desk ]



Put your book away!

Oh, my God! Did you do this?!

That's no way to treat a book.

I'm gonna have to tell

your teacher about this!

Snitch.

Everyone put the quizzes away.

Come on.

Put the quizzes away.



Read the last chapter. Out loud.

Do it,

or I'm calling your parents!



What are you -- What are you --

[ Gasping ]

[ Finn grunting ]

[ Bell rings ]

Finn got expelled.

[Claudia]

Yeah, I was there, dumbass.

Are you okay?

No. Don't be so stressed out.

Thought she was

gonna sh*t herself.

[ Laughter ]

Bad boy. Bad boy.

[ Chuckles ]

Dumb b*tches.

Crushing over psychos.

[ Chuckles ]

[Student]

f*ck you, Sasha.

[Claudia]

You're such a total bitch.





I heard he hit the teacher.

I thought she hit him.

Finn lost it.

She's pressing charges.

Oh.

He's really weird.

I never even hear him speak.

He talked to me.

[Ava] What? When?

What did he say?

[Eliza] Just, "Hi."



Stay away from him.

Something's wrong with him.

[Eliza]

Ugh. I hope my mom's not home.

[ Door opens ]

[Louise]

Eliza, is that you?

[ Television playing ]

How's your mom?

[Ava] Seeing a plumber...

...who fixes things,

so she gave him her heart.

[ Chuckles ]

Good for her.

How was school?

I hate school.

I used to hate it, too.

I started a new painting today.

You're all sweaty.

Why don't you girls

go for a swim?

Mom, no.

How's Corinna?

Fine.

Well, don't eat all of that.

It's very fattening.

Ugh!



Can you get my back?

Finn Elliott

is a total psycho.

You were kind of mean

to the girls earlier.

Shut up.

It's true.

They're too sensitive.

I mean, I can't just keep

walking on eggshells

all the time.

They're not my responsibility.



I hope Finn falls for Eliza.

They'd make the perfect couple.



I see the way you look at him,

you know.

You think he's cute.

In a dusty, wears the same

clothes every day,

creepy way.



But he doesn't look at you.





[Eliza] Hi.

What are you reading?

Vonnegut.



According to him,

a reader should have

such a complete understanding

of a book

that they could finish it

themselves if cockroaches

were to eat the last few pages.



Did cockroaches eat

the last few pages of this one?

[ Chuckles ]

I like that.



You wanna take a walk?

Okay.

[ Bleating ]



It's just you and your mom?

Yeah. Sort of.

Tell me about her.

Why?

I just want to get to know you.

My parents are fighting,

so we moved out.

Corinna had to go with Dale.

I miss being at the house.

I like how you talk to me.

How?

Like...normal.

Tell me about a book

you've read.

Um...I just finished

this crazy Russian sci-fi book

from the 1960s.

So, scientists discover

this second Earth,

and it's identical to ours,

except it's 800 years

in the past.

And there's a scene

where the main character's

kind of gone off the handle

and he meets up with an old

childhood friend of his,

and he has all this red

drippy stuff on his hands,

and she gets scared

'cause she thinks it's blood.

It's just strawberry juice.

He's just picking strawberries.

Anyway, I liked that.



[Finn] Hi.

[ Chuckles ]

How was school today?



Look at me.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Did everybody miss me?

[ Laughs ]

Whoo!

[ Finn laughs ]

What?

-[ Smooches ]

-Oh, my God, stop.

[ Television playing ]



[ Footsteps approach ]

Thanks for cooking, my love.

I'm meeting some friends.

Hey! Wait. What?

What -- What friends?

Will you pretend

just for one night

that I'm nobody's mother?



I could do with a night out.



Stay.

[Louise]

I'm not a dog, Eliza.

[ Door opens ]

Don't wait up!

[ Door closes ]

[ Eliza sighs ]

[ Finn chuckles ]

Hi.

These are for you.

For stopping traffic

and saving my life.



Do you often lie in the middle

of the street?

Well, it's actually pretty

great for clearing the mind.

You just have to watch out

for cars.



Come on.

[ Country music playing ]

[ Man coughs ]

[ Telephone line ringing ]

[ Liquid pouring ]

[Dale] This is Dale.

Leave a message.

[ Beep ]

[ Louise sighs ]



[ Telephone line ringing ]

[Louise]

I'd like another beer.

[Dale] This is Dale.

Leave a message.

[Louise]

I could've gone to college.

I was smart.

Was real smart.

This place has a way

of wrapping itself around you.

[Dale] This is Dale.

Leave a message.

Feel like there's

a big ol' umbilical cord

connecting my belly

with this town.

That's a very graphic

reference.

[ Telephone ringing ]

[Dale] Louise?

[Louise] Dale?!

I miss you.

I miss you, too, baby.

I want to sleep

in my own bed.

Louise, you have

some real work to do

that I can't help you with

anymore.

Did you see Dr. Kilgore today?

I know you didn't go.



Dale?







You ever wish you could

just disappear for a while?

Come back

when things were better?

Just take it day by day

and live a day here,

die a day there?



What's wrong?

I don't really like graveyards.

-Do you believe in ghosts?

-No.

You should.



I should go get my mom.



The dead don't abide by time.

Alright. I'll walk you.

Careful.

[Eliza]

Did you see this?

18 years old.

The best ones die young.



Why are we picking her up?

She needs me.



She was at a five

until Dale picked up.

And now -- now she's about

a seven and a half.

But I got her to eat.

How much do I owe?

Food's on me.

Drinks, I put on her tab.

I don't know.

Maybe you should talk to Dale.

I can take care of her myself.

I saw a bus

pass through earlier.

Oregon-bound.

Out-of-state plates?

California plates.

You two planning on

getting out of here sometime?

Sometime.

[ Eliza sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

I'm glad to see

you're alive and well.

[ Chuckles ]





[Louise] Mmm!

Excuse me.

Oh.

Your mama's all slobber-jawed.





Hey. How are you feeling?



I'm gonna look

at the scale tomorrow.



[Man] You'll still keep

a cold beer out here?!

[ Dog barking ]

I got expelled today.

I love you.





You're really beautiful.

Mm.



I love you very much.

With all my heart.

I love you, too, Mom.

Really?

I wouldn't lie to you.



Corinna?



She loves you, too.



Hm.



I'll be outside.



[ Door opens and closes ]



-Still craving your kiss

-Stop, please.

Whoa. It's okay.

It's fine. I got her.



[Eliza]

Mom! I'm so sorry.

Eliza!

How are you not embarrassed

by yourself?

[Finn] Jesus Christ.

I'm longing to linger

till dawn

[Finn] Come on.

You're fine. You're fine.

Right here.

You got a step. Right here.

Up. Up. Up.

Craving your kiss

Shut up!

I got her. I got her. I got her.

She's fine. She's fine.

[ Louise grunts, laughs ]

Whoo!

[Finn] Yeah.

So long...

I'm so sorry.



Stars linger,

but I linger on, dear

Still calling your name

Longing to linger

till dawn, dear



Just saying this



[ Singing fades ]

I owe you breakfast.

Don't worry about it.

Tomorrow morning. Eight o'clock.

I hope you like cereal.

I love it.

I had a really nice time

with you tonight.





I could smell her on me

for days.





Denial is a coping mechanism.

It's you trying to

protect yourself from the truth

about something

that's happening in your life.

Something you can't handle.

Something too heavy.



[ Shower running ]

[ Faucet squeaks, water stops ]

[ Television playing ]

Hey. How are you feeling?

f*ckin' excellent.

[ Liquid pouring ]

[ Spits ]

[ Coughing, spits ]

Oh. Mom, I'd like you

to meet Finn.

Can I have a word with you

for a moment?

Who's that boy?

He carried you home last night.

How do you know him?

School.

He's in Corinna's class.



[Louise]

Did he spend the night?

[Eliza] No.



You know, the least you could do

is thank him.

Tell him thank you

and tell him to be on his way.

I'm getting a migraine.



It's just a hangover, Mom.

I need peace and quiet.

Tell him to go home.



And get to school.



[Eliza]

Hey. Sorry about that.



She has a really bad headache.

I can go home. I don't want

to make things worse for you.

She's just not herself

right now.

When she drinks too much,

she just gets a little moody.



Her brain doesn't produce

enough dopamine.

You know, the happy stuff.

So it's --

It's really not her fault.





Dropped in on a burnout bag

Rich glamour on another pack

Actress with a k*ller pill,

bad boys...



Here's something

to look forward to.

We're putting them up today.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

They're $4.50 each,

but, of course,

all my friends get in for free.

All proceeds are going

to my dad's food bank

to benefit the undernourished

Middle Americans.

You know, the kids living off

condensed milk and Hot Pockets.

It's a real crisis.

What?

I can't explain this to you

right now.

The point is this town needs us.

This dance

is going to save lives.

I need your mom to do my hair.

Please ask her. Today.



What's wrong?

[Sasha] Eliza has to pay

full price.

Shut up, Sasha.

I'm not going.

Fine with me,

but ask yourself --

are you a good person

if you don't help the needy?

Oh, my God! You don't know

when to shut up!

I'm just being a humanitarian.

No. You're just trying

to sell tickets

so your dad will be proud of you

instead of regretting

the day

your mom dumped him with you

so she could live

her second life in Florida

without such a pain in the ass.



Your mom didn't want you.



And does your dad even like you?



What the f*ck, Corinna?

You can't just say that.

I just did.

That was really mean.

I know.

Want to ditch and watch a movie

at my house?

I gotta go to class.

It's too hot.



[Corinna] Bye.

Look at me.

What's your problem?

Don't act like you don't know.

How long are you

gonna punish me for?

I didn't want you guys to leave.

I would have fought

to keep us all together.

What my dad did

has nothing to do with me.

I don't want to talk about this.

Fine.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.





[ Door bell jingles ]









My dad owns this store.



Okay?

He doesn't like

people loitering.





Grandma really was

a batty old woman.

How is Louise doing?

She's not okay.

Well, you should talk to Dale.

He'll listen to you.

I'm never speaking to him again.

He raised you. Did you forget?

God. You are unbelievable.

If our parents

hadn't gotten married,

who knows

where you'd be right now.

Do you expect me

to kiss his ass?

"Thank you so much for taking

pity on my poor mom and I.

We wouldn't have survived

without your generosity."

What the hell is wrong with you?

I hate you!

What's going on?

Eliza, why are you fighting?

She's beyond help.

Corinna was the one

who told Dale

you were stealing his pills.



Ohh. Oh, sweetheart.



I just want you to come home.

You know what? Yeah.

Let's all live together again.

So you guys can yell

and slam doors.

And she can break things,

and he can stay out all night

'cause he doesn't know

how to deal with anything!

-Eliza, come here.

-Let go of me!

I hate this family!

-[ Door slams ]

-It's okay.



[Finn]

Is that my book?



She took my book...



...and acts like

I'm not even here.



Come here.



Good girl.



Mmm.



You're f*ckin' hot, Eliza.



And you're mine.



Hey.



What's all the filming for?

I guess you could say

I'm making a documentary.

About life and death.

Most people are afraid of it,

but I find something

comforting about dead things.

Whether it's animals

or insects or people.

-That's...

-Weird?

Poetic.



I'll show you a secret.



[Finn] Is everything okay

with your mom?

[Eliza] No. Not really.

[Finn] What's wrong?

[Eliza]

I had a fight with my sister.

I mean, stepsister.

Actually don't even know

what we are anymore.



[Finn] Why?

[Eliza]

Corinna's always on Dale's side.

And my mom is getting worse.

I need Dale to take us back.



[Finn]

Does Dale ever hurt you?

[Eliza] No. He just wants her

to stop drinking and stuff.

[Finn] Got it.

Nobody comes here.

It's abandoned.



Let me show you inside.



I like how the Earth

looks like a fishbowl.



What kind of fish

would you be?



A dead fish.



Play along.

A very dead fish.



When you were little,

did you ever think the moon

was made out of cheese?

[ Chuckles ] No. Did you?

Yeah. I did.

I thought I would go there

someday in my space car.

The engine would run

entirely on broccoli,

my least-favorite vegetable.

I figured that was a good way

of getting rid of it.



I'd rather get on a Greyhound.





[Finn] Sometimes I feel

a thousand years old.









I have another adventure

for you.



What do you want to do

when you finish school?

[Eliza] I don't know.

Never thought much about it.

What about you?

I'm expelled from school, Eliza.

[Eliza]

You know what I mean.

I know.

[Eliza] I definitely

want to leave this town.

[Finn]

Where do you want to go?

[Eliza] Anywhere

away from my family.



Look. It's heaven.



Hold this.



After you.





Thank you.



I like how you walk.

[Eliza] [ Chuckles ]

You like how I walk.

-Yeah.

-Why?



[Finn]

You walk with purpose.



[Eliza]

You walk too fast.

-Hm?

-You walk too fast.

[Finn] No.



It's cool, right?



Must have got struck

by lightning at some point.



Sit.





I didn't mean

to hurt that teacher.



Do you believe me?

Yeah.

Why?

I feel safe with you.



When I was a little kid, my dad

used to tell me this story.

He said, "Finn...

there once was a huge apple

sitting out in a field.

One day, a big old fat ant came

marching around,

and it noticed the apple.

And it took a bite.

And it was delicious.

And then it called

all its brothers and sisters

to come and take a bite, too,

and they did.

Each and every little bite.

And eventually,

every last bit of that

sweet apple disappeared.



And all that was left...

...was a little seed.

But then something magical

happened.

That seed started to grow.

With oxygen and time

and water,

it blossomed

into a big apple tree."



And he said, "That, my son,

is the circle of life."



I think I'd like your dad.





Close your eyes.



Listen.



What am I listening to?



[Finn]

The sound of the dead.







With her, everything is silent.



And nothing hurts.





[ Shower running ]

[ Television playing ]

[ Door opens ]

Eliza?

Why aren't you in school?

It's Presidents' Day.

Of course.

Hm. Any fun plans

with your friends?

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We're all meeting by the river

in a bit.

Gorgeous day.

Eliza, we need to talk

about the other day.

I don't want to.

What you said to your sister,

it's really not okay.



We'll talk about it

another day.

I just hope you girls

still love me

like you did

when you were little.

Is that literally

all you care about?

How do you still love Corinna

after she betrayed you?



[ Scoffs ]

I'm sure that's how you feel.

But, sweetheart...

...if there's anyone

who betrayed me, it's you.

If you hadn't been

such a needy child,

I wouldn't have lost Dale's baby

and we'd still be a family.

There's not one inch of you

that wants us

to be a family again.

This?



It's you.







[ Girls giggling ]



You naughty little butterfly!



I caught one!



I caught one!

Should we put in the jar

and show Mom?

Yeah.



Let's go. Come on.

-I caught one!

-Oh, wow! Eliza!

You really have

a butterfly in there?

I do!

Her hands are too close.

[ Gasps ] Oh, no.

It's dead.

I felt its wings moving.

-Maybe it's just taking a nap.

-I felt its wings moving.

I'll help you catch another one.

It was an accident.

She k*lled it!







What has happened

to this school?

Feels like a ghost town

all of a sudden.

I'm starving.

Have you seen Eliza?

She's fine.

You don't know that.

I mean...

I think she has a lot

of pressure on her

to take care of her mom.

I mean, I feel like

it's getting to her.

Like, bad.



[Finn]

Did you paint that on the wall?



Is that how much you love me?

[ Laughs ]

How's that milkshake?





Where are your parents?



Uh, they're dead.



Are you being serious?



How'd they die?

Uh, their hearts

stopped b*ating.

I miss 'em.

What do you think happens

when we die?

I think we just die.



I don't think

anything special happens.





Clay. He's dripping water

all over the floor.



Floors could use

some cleanin'.



How was your day?



My day?

[Clay] Yeah.

[ Chuckles ]



Dug a rabbit out of a hole.

Well, you -- you dug a rabbit

out of a hole?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

How is that even possible?



I feel like

you're making that up.



Is that true?



Yeah.

What happened to your chin?

I cut it.

Oh, that's right.

Sorry. I forgot.



What's for dessert?

[Eve] Pie.

What kind of pie?

Lemon.

-Lamb pie?

-Lemon!

Oh. Alright.

I thought you said "lamb" pie.

That'd be weird.

We're not British.



[Eve] Bless her heart,

but I do think Patty

could have taken

another inch off.

Don't you think?



I agree.



She's visiting family

this weekend,

so it'll have to wait

till Monday.

She'll get it done.



And I think your hair

is really pretty.



The boy's got taste.



Actually, can I get

a little taste?



Come here.



Oh, that tastes good.





It's shallow out here.

[Eliza] Hold on. I'm coming.

[ Giggles ]



What would I do without you?









When I was a kid, my dad said

there were catfish in the river

the size of cars.

Stop!

[ Ominous chords strike ]

I don't like being filmed!





[Finn]

Don't do that again.





I can feel it coming on.





The darkness and light

that co-exist together.



And they play hide-and-seek

in me.







Eliza hates me.

Sweetheart,

she could never hate you.

I don't think you should

have made them leave.

[Dale] I know it's hard.

And I'm sorry Eliza

is taking this out on you.

But you'll see this was

the best thing to do.

That's bullshit.

It'll be good for her

to be in that house.

It'll ground her, you know,

help her acclimate.

You put her

in your dead mother's house.

You're wrong about her.

She is not strong enough

to change.

She's not.





[ Dog barking ]



Hey. Can we sit with you?



[ Register bell dings ]

Hey, you. Since when

do you drink black coffee?

A long time.

-Hey.

-Two breakfast plates, please.

-Want something?

-No.

[Server] Breakfast plates

coming right up.

The dance is tonight.

I got you a ticket.

That was a waste of $4.50.

[Corinna] Come on, Eliza.

Have some fun.

[Dale]

A dance sounds like a good time.

-How are you doing?

-It would k*ll my mom

if she knew I was here

with you guys without her.

Well, why don't we all do

something together then?

Dad?

[Dale] I suppose.

It's been a good amount of time

since we tried that.

Let's give it a sh*t.

Tonight, Dad. Before the dance.

That way, if you change

your mind, we can go together.

Does that sound good, Eliza?

I'll ask my mom.

Let's say five o'clock

at our house. How's that?

I'll pick up something.

-Great.

-"Great."



[ Door opens, bell jingles ]

[ Door closes ]







What's that gonna be?

It's supposed to be a shark.



[ Chickens clucking ]

Was your mom pissed

about school?

[Eliza]

No. She has no idea.



What do you wanna do?



Whatever you want.

I guess we should go inside.



Can I have that?



Thanks.



You're lucky you got expelled.







What's wrong?



I like you.



I like you, too.



A lot.







[Eliza] Mom?

Where have you been?

[Eliza]

We have dinner plans.

[ Groans ]

My head hurts.

[Eliza]

Dale's invited us for dinner.

He called you?

No. I saw Dale and Corinna

at the diner.

Why -- Why didn't he call me?

How should I know?

-What time?

-Five.

Oh, my God. Well...

Why so early?

Because

the school dance is tonight

and they want to have dinner

before.

I have to take a shower.

I have nothing to wear.

[Finn] Grief is living

two lives at once.

One where everything's

alright...



...and the other

you're drowning.



The memories haunt your soul

and disturb your sleep.



Just one more day.



One more hug.



One more.







How are you?

Dale invited us to dinner.

My mom's having a nervous

breakdown over it.



Be my date?

[Louise]

Is that what you're gonna wear?

Is that what you're gonna wear?

Finn's coming, too.

Eliza, do you think that's wise?

-He's coming, Mom.

-Do you know how long

I've waited for your father to

come to his senses about this?!

It's just dinner!



[ Indistinct conversations ]

So pretty.

[ Footsteps approach ]



Well, I'm really happy

that we're all here together.

It's been a long time coming.

Proper family dinner.

And we're happy to have you

here, as well, Finn.

-Welcome.

-Thank you, sir.

Do you drink wine, Finn?

If it's alright with you, sir.



Corinna? Eliza?

Just a bit for the toast.





To persistence.

We're a family,

and we will always be a family.

And I'd like to add

that I am very happy

to be here with both my children

and with my husband.

Cheers to that.



-May I serve you?

-Yes, please.



Uh, just not quite so much.



Thank you.



Eliza?



Thank you.

So, Finn,

how did you meet Eliza?



-It's a very small town.

-At school.

You two going to the dance

together?

-No.

-I want you to.



Eliza, go with Corinna.



I can't stand her

moping around the house all day.



He has a right to know.

Your behavior lately

has been atrocious.



We have cannoli for dessert.

Ask him, Mom.

Ask him if this dinner

means anything to him besides

feeling a little less guilty.



This is a step

in the right direction.

To ease us back in.



[Eliza] I think

you're embarrassed of us.



You know you're torturing her,

right?

This little sick,

twisted fantasy of yours?

She hasn't seen a doctor

in months, and she's drinking.

Look at her!

[Louise] Shut your mouth!



We don't live here anymore.



Stop looking at her.



Why don't you two go upstairs

for a little bit?









I'm not into you, by the way.



[ Indistinct arguing

in distance ]

[Clay] What are you thinking?!

You were drinking today!

You drink and drink...

I have tried everything

I know what to do!

I can't even think

anymore of what to do!

Even going to the doctor.

You know how much money

I have spent on this!

And you won't even

give it a sh*t!

I want you to move back!

But you don't even try!



[ Dale sobbing ]













[Finn]

I made something for you.



Thanks.







[Finn]

Loss can consume you.









But it teaches you

the worth of things.



I'd love to see the ocean.



Ocean's a long way off.



Good.



Eliza...

This bus runs the town loop.

I know.

We'll be back where we started

in 20 minutes.









You alright?



Don't touch me.





I love you.



Just leave me alone.



But I love you.



I just need some space.

[ Scoffs ]



Unbelievable.







Are you mad?



You're a big boy now.

You're old enough

to dry yourself off

and not go dripping

all over Grandma and Grandpa's

nice house.

They're dead.

They're up there in heaven,

shaking their heads at you.



[Clay] Alright, buddy.

[ Footsteps approach ]

Time for your pill.

Can I take it tomorrow?

It makes me feel melty.

Clay, I swear,

if he gets kicked out,

you're gonna be

teaching him yourself.



Your mother's right.

Sometimes you got to do things

you don't want to do.



It's important

to keep your mother happy.









[Finn] Sometimes you have to do

things you don't want to do.





[ Dance music playing ]





No date?

I don't have a date.

I don't do "date."

I do dates.

Like, why would I hold myself

down to one guy, you know?

I'm free-range.



Okay.



So we're going to practice.

For the dance, you need to keep

this much distance apart.

Perfect. A little more back.

Alright. Let's practice.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six.

You're too close! Back up!

Now you're too far.

There you go. Keep it there.

Let's try again. Ready?

You got it!

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

What are you doing?

Your dancing

is f*cking terrible!

Fix it! You can't be

an embarrassment to me!



[Finn]

What are you thinking?



Eliza, what is happening?



I know what's best for you.



Corinna called.

She really wants you

to go to that dance.

I don't want to go.

You should wear

my little green dress.

With a perfect strappy shoe.

Mom.

Dale loves you.

This is why

you don't mess with me

See, I'm technically

best there ever be

Yes, I'm blessed indeed,

so don't test me please

I am Hercules,

I unleash the beast

I ain't dressed to please,

I am dressed for me

Way they step to me,

it's like chess to me

See, these nobodies

try and k*ll the queen

You got best of three,

then it's time for me

Eliza! You came!

I didn't think you'd be here!



[ Groans ]





Eliza?







Louise.

Finn.



Eliza's not here, honey.









I love you!

Even when you're being

a pain in the ass.

Which is always.



Drink. Drink. Drink. Drink.

sh*t. [ Laughs ]



Have you seen my date?

He's missing.



What is she doing?

Doesn't she know

it's trashy to slow-dance?

I think it's adorable!

I think I'm gonna yack.



Let's dance. Come on.



f*ck no. Let's go.





She's with her friends.



I don't trust you.



You're smart.







Finn.



I love you.

I really, really love you.



And it terrifies me.



I know.



You don't know anything.



I haven't told you

what I've done.



Come here.



I've hurt people.



And I meant to.

I don't know why,

but I get so f*cking heated.



I don't know what it is,

but I can't calm myself down.

There were these little

incidents when I was a kid,

and my parents would just

pop pills in my mouth.



And that didn't f*cking help

because it just felt like

I was underwater all the time.

And I f*cking hated it.



And I couldn't f*cking feel!

I couldn't feel anything at all!



I never felt like,

ever, at any point,

they really wanted me around,

but I couldn't f*cking help

being born.



So I wanted to give them a taste

of their own medicine.



So I crushed up the pills.



I crushed up too many.

The last thing

that I heard my mom say

when she went to bed that night

and I snuck by the door

to lock it was...

"Clay. Did you see

how helpful Finn was tonight?"



Does that make me a monster?



[Eliza] No, it doesn't.





It was an accident.



It's not your fault.



I love you.



[Finn] I am...who I am.





I wanted to stay as close

to the edge as I could.



On the edge,

you see all the things

you can't see from the inside.





There's beauty in everything.



In life and in death.

Mom, something weird happened.



[ Rumbling

and high-pitched ringing ]

[ Rumbling and

high-pitched ringing fade ]

[ Radio chatter ]













[Finn]

So, I made this for you.



Understand I had to do this.



There's so much

I could say to you.



But it's just all too much.



I do wish

I could go back in time.



Undo this mess I made.





I know you're upset.



I have a good heart.

I just --

I don't know how to reason.



I traded your mom's life

for yours.



I wanted to protect you.



I hope you know that.



But love isn't about being nice.

It's about doing

the right thing.



I'm going where

everything is silent

and nothing hurts.

Your life will be so much better

without me.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you.
