Happiness for Beginners (2023)

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music plays]

You got your head

Up in the clouds, babe

It's like you're next to me

But miles away

You go to speak, but hesitate

I wanna know

The words that you don't say

Click-clack, click-clack

Time's ticking on

This and that, this and that

Singing my favorite song

Thought I'd see you around

But you're never home

[woman] Goals for my hiking trip.

Find a deeper connection to nature.

Rise up from my own ashes

like a freaking phoenix.

Earn a damned certificate.

[cell phone chimes]

[Mike] Hey! Happy what would be

our sixth wedding anniversary.

I miss you.

[photographer] Perfect, got it, thank you.

- You, okay?

- Yeah.

- Fine.

- Good.

- I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Oh. Thank you.

[woman] Congratulations, Helen.

[Mike] Right now,

just kinda do this, actually.

[man] Hey, sis.

Good thing you locked him down.

Will you give him a break?

It's his wedding day.

Also, give me a break.

It's my wedding day.

Ah, y-you know, I can't do that,

'cause, like, I don't think

he's right for you at all,

and neither does Jake so...

- What?

- Who?

Who? Jake, my best friend

since the eighth grade.

- A-Are you having a stroke?

- [Helen] No.

Just, my back was turned. I didn't

see him. Hi, Jake, how are you?

I'm good, yeah, good. Y-You look great.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, Duncan, I appreciate

what you're doing,

this whole brother,

sister protective thing,

but it's not necessary, okay?

Mike and I have been together

for a long time.

We're married now, okay?

Today we are married

and we're gonna be fine,

and I'm gonna be fine.

So, thank you, but I do have

a tad more life experience than you do.

Okay, well, we're not

that much younger than you, Helen.

We have enough life experience

to know when we're making a huge...

[glass smashes]

- [Duncan laughs]

- [Helen groans]

- [Helen] Not again. All right.

- [Duncan] Man down!

- Wow! That was What a move.

- [Helen] Hey.

- [Jake] You okay?

- You okay?

- I'll help you up.

- Thanks.

It was mistake, that was the word.

That was it.

Move back by those tracks

I move slowly, slowly

You won't show me

Duncan? Duncan!

Do me like that

Has anyone seen the host of this party?

[man] He went down to the river

with a girl.

What girl?

What river?

Tracks, we'll move slowly, slowly

[Jake] Helen, hey!

- Hey, how are you?

- Hey, have you seen Duncan?

I have to give him my keys.

He's house sitting for me this weekend.

What about What about Duncan?

Have you seen him? What?

Have you seen Duncan?

He's house sitting

and I have to give him my keys.

I'm sorry,

I can't hear a word you're saying.

'Cause the music's too loud.

Who plays music this loud?

Right, okay.

Uh, do you want to go outside?

Fine, yeah.

I'll be able to hear you outside.

I didn't expect to see you.

Yeah, I had to drop off my keys

with my idiot brother.

Oh, he walked down to the river

about 30 minutes ago with his girlfriend.

- Girlfriend?

- [cell phone rings]

Uh, her name's Molly.

She's really nice, you'd like her.

- Ugh, Mike.

- [Jake] You still talking to him?

He calls me a lot.

I think he forgets we're divorced.

Okay, uh

Hey, why don't you stay for a drink?

Oh, no, I'm leaving town tomorrow.

Come on. It's It's early.

- No, I wanna go home and pack.

- Yeah.

You know,

I remember you used to be so much fun.

Excuse me?

What does that mean? I'm still fun.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I'm so much fun, you wouldn't even

be able to comprehend it.

[chuckles]

Anyway, will you, um,

give my keys to Duncan?

He's supposed to house sit for me

while I'm gone.

Although, who knows if he even remembers.

He will. He'll take care of it.

Just like how he took care of Pickles?

Well, that was not his fault.

He ran over Pickles with his car.

Was that Pickles's fault?

That dog lived for, like,

ten more years after that.

- That's not the point.

- It's good to see you, Helen.

Good to see you.

But you might want to tell

that best friend of yours that he sucks.

I sure won't.

[gentle music plays]

[gentle music fades]

- [Duncan] Hey oh.

- Hey, did Jake give you my keys?

[Duncan] Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry

about last night. Coffee?

Oh, great.

- [Duncan] Two sugars, no cream.

- Thank you.

Yeah, II'm not taking sugar right now,

but thank you.

Oh, are you not?

You're not taking sugar right now?

I'm trying to cut down on sugar.

You ready to get into the great wide open,

paint with all the colors of the wind?

You know, if you see a bear,

I've seen all these bear documentaries.

You can go upand rub their tummies.

They love that.

Great, I will file that away.

Um, please don't burn down my house

while I'm gone.

And don't touch the succulents.

They don't need watering.

Those look very crusty.

They're always dry.

This is a list of items

I'd like you to take care of.

Just follow the list.

Everything you need is on there.

Okay, this is

This is like a serial k*ller.

You laminated it.

You have a lamination machine?

Please don't do anything stupid.

You ever think you're gonna stop

giving me a hard time?

Do something right, and I will stop

giving you a hard time. Okay?

Oh, that's That's it. That's the key.

- [Helen] It's time to grow up. You're 35.

- Figured it out.

You know, I do things right.

I'm an adult. I'm a grown man.

- Yeah.

- [Duncan] Uh-huh.

Technically.

You're gonna have, like,

the most amazing time of your life.

You're gonna get all the badges,

make lots of friends.

- This is an adult camping trip.

- [Duncan] Yes.

It's not camp.

[Duncan] Yes, archery badge.

- No archery, no.

- Okay. Have fun.

- Thanks, Duncan.

- [Duncan] Gonna be fine.

[Helen] Thank you.

- I'm responsible. Or something.

- [Helen] Yeah, I

- Bye.

- [Duncan] Bye!

Say hello to Grandma Gigi for me!

out there

I know you're somewhere out there

[sighs]

You can't fool me again

Hey cat

Do you wanna have a chit-chat?

Do you wanna have a chit-chat?

We can speak about my flaws

And my mistakes

[Helen] Gigi, are you here?

[gentle music plays]

[Gigi] I'm at book club, back soon.

Oh.

I guess it's dinner for one.

[gentle music continues]

Beautiful dreamer

Wake unto me

Starlight and dewdrops

Are waiting for thee

Sounds of the rude world

Heard in the day

Beautiful dreamer

Awake unto me

[Helen laughs]

[Helen] Yay! Bravo! Mwah.

Sweetheart, I'm so happy you are here.

I'm so happy to be here.

You look so lovely, Gigi.

You can't stop trying

even when you want to, right?

- Let's look for space junk.

- Okay.

You know I can never find space junk.

Well, you gotta look closer,

at the big picture.

No. No. That's why they call it

the big picture.

You're not supposed

to look too closely at it.

- How do you feel?

- Hm.

Same.

No. You're here, so you're better.

That's true.

Everything is done?

Yep. Everything is signed,

sealed and delivered.

And I haven't seen him in over a year, but

now that it's official,

I feel sad all over again.

- You know what I mean?

- Hm.

Actually, I don't.

Your grandfather died. He didn't give me

the option of divorce, the jerk.

[Helen laughs]

But you're still gonna

go on this crazy hike?

You're not worried?

No. Why would I be worried?

I've never gone camping in my life.

Last time you and I tried to make s'mores

I nearly burned down the house.

[Gigi laughs]

What's to worry about?

I forgot about that.

[gentle music plays]

[Helen] I miss you, Nate.

If you could just see

That we could break free

The miles of road ahead

Imagine all we could explore

Let's get wild again

There's an island in your head

And I've got the strength

To swim around it

With you

We can make a start

And I know the way

That we can get there

[cell phone rings]

- Hi, Mike.

- [Mike] Helen, hi.

Sorry to bug you.

Listen, could I come over?

Mike, I'm not at I'm not at home.

I have a seatbelt, I'm in a car.

I'm going on a hiking trip.

[Mike] Hiking? Really? Like backpacking?

[Helen] Yeah.

Cool, that sounds fun.

Listen, now that we're finally divorced,

I realize th-th-that we got married,

but I wasn't married.

- I wasn't in the marriage, you know?

- Yeah. I I Uh, yes, I know that.

And-and I feel like now,

I know how to be married.

Hey Mike, I'm gonna go, okay?

I gotta get off the phone.I'll call you

when I'm back from my trip, okay?

- So I'll talk to you when you get back.

- Bye, Mike.

[Mike] Okay, be care...

I do not have a hair dryer in this room.

Oh, that's in, um, room number 16.

You want that one?

I don't want a different room,

I just want a hair dryer.

[woman] It's attached to the wall,

so you can't take it off.

Hi. Are you going on this hike with BSC?

[laughs] Thank God! Another old person!

I thought I was the only one!

[laughs] It's a bunch

of disgusting young people

with young bodies and young minds. Ugh.

Good news is, we have each other.

Bad news is, we have each other.

[laughs] I'm Hugh.

I'm Helen.

I know I don't look like a Hugh.

My dad named me after Hugh Hefner.

He thought I was gonna grow up

to be a ladies man. [laughs]

Hello? [laughs]

He's dead now.

Hugh Hefner, not my father.

He's in Calabasas.

He is. Well, I'm off to find my bed

in this motel.

This is such a horrible experience

already, right? [groans]

All right, Lulu, thanks for nothin'.

[Hugh sighs]

Oh! Don't get m*rder*d tonight, Helen.

We've gotta start tomorrow.

I'm worried

about all the smoke behind you.

Oh, no, this is just my vibe.

Yeah, I like, like, uh,

spooky season kind of stuff,

you know, like pumpkin spice.

Kinda my thing.

Oh, really?

I actually had mono in the room

that you're staying in, right here.

Oh, thank you so much.

Yeah, 7 p.m., karaoke

in the conference room. I'm the MC.

Oh, cool. Thank you.

[funky music plays]

[woman] Good morning.

- [man] Did weget all the waivers signed?

- [woman] Yeah.

[man] Okay people, good morning.

Please take a seat

and we will get started.

Hi.

All right, everyone,

get ready for the adventure

of a literal freaking lifetime.

My name is Beckett, and I will be

your hiking guide and instructor.

If you take a look behind me,

you will see the map of our route.

We'll be working our way

through some of Connecticut's 51 miles

of the Appalachian Trail,

and we'll be covering

about 30 miles in New York state.

It is daunting, but it is beautiful.

All right, on our hike,

we're going to recreate responsibly.

You can see the principles here,

they include leave no trace,

and plan and prepare.

That is what we're doing right now.

Okay, internalize these.

We'll start an hour from here, and end

at my favorite spot, the Painted Meadow.

Before we really dig in, we're gonna

go around the room very quickly,

just to familiarize ourselves

with each other,

then we get to outfitting.

Remember, these people here are your team.

Okay, name and what you're doing here, go.

Hi, I'm Windy. Not Wendy,

Windy with an "I".

I'm 28. I just finished my master's,

and I am here

because the outdoors are my life.

And also, my older brother took the course

last year and said it was amazing.

He broke his leg,

but I just feel like that was his fault.

[Beckett] I remember him.

- It was his fault.

- [Windy] Yeah.

Next.

Hello. Uh, I'm Hugh.

I am [mumbles] years old. [laughs]

Uh, I'm old enough not to discuss my age.

She knows what I'm talking about.

Um, I'm an aspiring actor.

So, I love, love, love a challenge,

but I hate, hate, hate frustration.

I'm here to get past that.

So, I just want to luxuriate

in pain and frustration, really.

[Beckett] Good. You will.

Next?

Oh, yeah.

What up?Mason, 28.

Commodities trader, living that, uh,

trader lifestyle, you know what I mean?

Uh, I've been hiking since I was a baby.

So I'm just here

just to keep in practice, you know?

Anybody have any questions,

just, I'm an open book.

Great, and if you have questions,

please ask me.

- Thank you.

- Or me.

Take a seat. Nope, not you.

Take a seat. Thank you.

Uh, next?

You.

Okay. Well, my first question is,

how old are you?

This isn't about me.

Name and what you're doing here.

My name is Helen

and I'm an English teacher.

I live in Pittsburgh,

and I'm here because I got a divorce.

My ex and I broke up over a year ago.

There was some infidelity

and we'd actually been separated

for a very long time

before we got divorced.

But it's

It's like a rash.

You know, it clings to you,

it kind of lingers with you, so

I think I want a reset.

Yeah, you don't realize it,

but life really takes a toll.

I had a miscarriage,

uh, long before we even got separated,

so the family that I always wanted

to have went to sh*t.

And so I am here

because I want to stop

breaking promises to myself,

and I want to start

keeping them, and so this

This is the first step of many.

But I think by saying it out loud

that I am going to mean it.

Okay, that's great.

You can, uh, take a seat.

Um, next?

How about you?

[man clears throat]

Hi, I'm Jake.

I was a medical professional,

a doctor, but, uh,

I'm not really doing that anymore.

And I guess I'm out here for, uh,

the same reason that she is.

I didn't catch your name.

Her name is Helen.

Helen.

Right.

What Helen said

really resonated with me, you know?

Sometimes, uh, life takes a toll,

and you gotta figure out

a way to fight back.

So I guess that's why I'm here,

to fight back.

[Beckett] Okay, great.

Next?

Hi, I'm Sue,

from Millennial. [chuckles]

And I am taking a vow of silence

on our hike.

It's about deepening my commitment

to my spirituality.

And trust me, it's not gonna be easy,

because, A, I've never done

anything like this before,

and, B, I was a debater

in high school and college,

so I love a good retort.

But I think I'm gonna

start my vow right now.

- Starting right now?

- Yes.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, now.

- Okay.

- [woman] Hi.

I'm Kaylee.

Um, I'm here to face my fear of wood.

When I was eight years old,

my dad built us a log cabin.

He didn't do any waterproofing, so, uh,

it was uncomfortable, to say the least.

When it rained, it was like being buried

in a dark, wooden coffin.

It was not a good memory.

So

Uh, okay.

Now, outfitting.

[upbeat music plays]

I think

Ooh. Hey, are your, uh, shoes brand new?

Didn't you get the shoes we sent?

Yeah, but I forgot them at home.

Luckily these sort of fit, so that's good.

You are the problem.

[groans] Okay, people,

we will rise with the sun

and hike six to 12 miles every single day.

You'll have a few zero days.

Days where we do nothing.

But you won't get many,

so enjoy them when you get them.

Ticks are no joke out here, okay?

Pull your socks up high

and do your tick checks religiously.

You should've gotten

your hiking boots a few weeks ago

and all have them broken in by now.

Socks are very important.

If they get wet, you will get trench foot.

You need to take them off

and dry them out.

You can hang them on your packs.

You will be sleeping

in tent groups of two.

You will all be exhausted.

You will hate everyone around you,

and you will all be farting

your faces off, okay?

That's what happens with dehydrated food.

This is not hiking for beginners.

Well, it's actually listed as hiking

for beginners in the catalog, right?

Right. It is.

You know what I mean.

We will resupply at the midpoint.

We're only bringing

what we need. No shampoo.

No deodorant. If you bring it,

I will make you eat it, all right?

And please, bring some underwear.

Me?

Be surprised.

I brought underwear. I...

Okay, that's it. You can bring

one notebook to serve as a journal

and one book for entertainment.

You can bring your cell phone,

but it will not work.

- Yeah?

- What if there's an emergency?

I have a satellite phone.

Where do we poop?

We'll helicopter you to base

to poop and pee.

- Really?

- No, not really.

Just like a bird

or an animal of the forest,

you will be using this big,

round earth as your toilet.

Finally, at the end

of our hiking experience

we will all vote to see who wins the

coveted BSC best outbackers certificate.

Finish up with supplies here in the next

hour, load your packs immediately,

and then you can all go grab dinner

at La Rosa.

That's the only game in town, all right?

I'll see you all at the bus

at 6 a.m. tomorrow morning.

If you are late, you will not be hiking.

Let the games begin.

You confirmed the driver, right?

[Windy] Kaylee?

[Beckett] All right,

everybody come up here.

- Make sure you have everything.

- [Mason] A buck 20, easy.

Hey, what the hell

are you doing on my trip?

Your trip?

Yeah. Did Duncan send you

to keep an eye on me?

[chuckles] No.

Well, you need to leave.

I'm not going anywhere.

Okay. I'm doing this on my own.

On your own?

With Beckett, and six other people?

Look, I signed up for this trip ages ago,

okay? You're stuck with me.

God, you're so annoying!

Okay, from this point on,

we don't know each other.

So don't even talk to me,

don't even look at me.

Done. I'm not gonna talk to you,

and I definitely won't look at you.

Not once.

Not even when you're crying for my help.

Okay, good, because I won't.

Okay, great.

Perfect.

Now, get out of my face.

You guys got everything?

Yep.

Hey, Beckett, you know,

I still feel like I'm missing

some pretty pivotal information.

It's an experiential hiking course.

You learn as you go.

Here, this'll help.

Okay. Uh, it's just that, uh, I still feel

a tad under-educated for a beginner hiker.

It's all in there. You'll figure it out.

And what if I don't?

Then you'll die.

[jaunty music plays]

Hey.

I don't understand why there's no coffee.

I'm homicidal without it. Ugh.

It's going to be so much harder

than I thought.

You keep saying things like that.

Things like what?

Like this is so terrible and it's gonna be

so much harder than we think it is.

- Why?

- Yeah, sorry.

I tend to do that. I know it's a thing.

I'm trying to stop it.

My mom thinks it's like

a self-fulfilling thing, you know?

Say good things, good things will happen.

If you say bad things, bad things happen.

- Yeah.

- I tried it with acting.

You know, "I'm a good actor.

I'm a good actor."

"I'm gonna get jobs. I'm Meryl Streep."

[chuckles]

Only, it doesn't work.

I'm not Meryl Streep.

I sell insurance. So

It's a good job.

- [Sue] It was a night...

- [Hugh] Miss Chaplin over here.

Sue, what happened

to the sound of silence?

Oh, I'm gonna start tomorrow.

I did tell Kaylee this crazy...

No, no, no, no, no. I haven't had coffee

yet, so keep telling Kaylee.

Okay? I love you though.

Kaylee, so we ran out of gas

on the side of the road.

Good mornting, supermodels.

Well, hello there.

Helen, you feeling okay?

I'm not feeling okay.

I should not have had

that second margarita last night.

You had a margarita?

Yeah, well,

I just said I had two, so, yeah.

Well, did you bring a book at least

to distract yourself?

Um, no, I I did not bring a book.

Breaking the rules already.

She forgot her book.

- Right.

- Tattletale.

No, I didn't forget a book.

I purposely didn't bring one 'cause

I wanted to focus on the wilderness.

Hm, okay.

Well, I brought one.

I brought The Latinos of Asia:

How Filipino-Americans

Break the Rules of Race.

Oh, how do they do that?

They do it

- I will tell you after I read the book.

- Okay.

So I brought a psychology textbook.

And look at this.Jake brought

a textbook too, but it's on whales.

- And seals.

- And seals. He's so cute.

He's gonna go study them in Baja

after this trip. It's so crazy.

That is crazy. It actually seems insane.

It's pretty insane. It's gonna be epic.

You can borrow my whale book

anytime you want, Hannah.

My name's Helen.

Okay, people, pop quiz,

what do you do if you feel a hot spot?

Deal with it.

That's right, Ellen,

a hot spot is the beginning of a blister.

Think about it like a blister in training.

If you feel one, stop and tend to it

or it will bring you to your knees.

This is our Normandy, people.

Our D-Day. We hike ten miles.

This is your last hour before the pain.

So sleep, meditate,

whatever floats your fancy.

Let's do this!

[cheering]

Yay!

When I saw you

Down at the lido

It was a hot Saturday night

Oh, but you were on fire

And I was burning up

One look from you

And I knew we'd be all right

We did the Bombanaza

Diki, diki, diki, diki, yeah, yeah

The Bombanaza

Diki, diki, diki, diki, oh, yeah

The Bombanaza, diki, diki, diki, diki

[Beckett] Make sure to not forget

your bottles, your mugs or your books.

[Kaylee] Guys, we're here!

Okay, this pack's gonna be heavy.

- [Mason grunts]

- [Windy] Yes.

[Mason] Got it stuck. Thanks.

Hugh, wanna put a pep in that step,

or are you gonna be slow the whole time?

[driver] Have a great hike, guys.

Hey, people, time to use the facilities.

Mm, where are they?

[Jake chuckles]

Right there.

[Hugh] I'll go with you.

[Hugh sighs]

[jaunty music plays]

Ow! Ow.

sh**t.

[Helen groans] Oh, no.

Let's go, people!

Get ready for what will be the best

freaking experience of your entire lives.

- Oh! What the hell is that?

- [Hugh] Oh my God, your leg.

- I'm fine.

- [Hugh] Is that blood?

No, you're not. How'd you do that?

Are you serious?

We haven't even started yet.

- What? I stumbled putting on my backpack.

- God, who's got the med kit?

Jake.

Can we just go? I'm fine.

This will dry up in no time.

Dry up? Looks like you've hit an artery.

You know what? We've got an injury here.

Let's gather round.

- [Hugh] A lot of blood.

- Can we not gather?

[Mason] This is ridiculous.

All right, doc,

as our designated EMT, this one's all you.

All right everyone,

let's watch J-Dog here work his magic.

Actually, let's take a seat.

Oh, come on.

[Jake] How did you find

the sharpest rock in the forest?

- I'm lucky like that.

- Such a dumb move, Ellen.

Uh, last time I cut myself like that,

I fell going up the stairs.

Not down the stairs. Up.

Hit my head. Head bleeds, you know, a lot.

- [Mason] How's that vow of silence going?

- I'm on a break.

Can we, give us a little space here?

Stand over there, please?

So you finally divorced dipshit, huh?

Yeah, I did.

- Thanks for asking.

- Yeah.

I'll never know what you saw in him.

All right, all done.

- [Helen] Thank you.

- A strange place to start.

- I think it's beautiful.

- Here.

[Kaylee] This barn reminds me...

What are you doing? I got it. I got it.

[Beckett] Jake, you good?

- [Jake] Yup, she's great.

- Packs on, everybody. Ready?

- Ready.

- Ready!

[Kaylee] Okay.

[Mason] Yeah, can we do this?

[Beckett] Follow me, everyone,

and make sure we stay together.

Guys, this is more wood than I thought.

[Hugh] It's a forest.

[Beckett] This way, guys. Work as a team.

[upbeat music plays]

When he said no shampoo,

did he mean no dry shampoo?

All shampoo. It's lethal

to the native algae and bacteria.

Seriously? That's what we care about now?

[Beckett] Watch your step, it's rocky.

[Hugh] Is this all uphill?

[Beckett] This is what we call

level one fun, people.

- [Mason] You call this rocky?

- [Kaylee] What's level two fun?

[upbeat music continues]

Just one second, Mason.

Oh, come on, man.

Look, I know it sucks to go slow, man,

but teamwork is a wilderness skill too.

Remember that.

There's a clearing a few miles ahead

with big rocks. We'll stop for lunch.

I'm going for it then.

[jaunty music plays]

Good work everyone.

- Just a few more miles and then lunch.

- [Windy] This is a beautiful day.

[Beckett] Yes, it is. We're very lucky.

[jaunty music continues]

All right, hydrate, everyone.

We've got three more hours until we stop.

I know most of you haven't seen this

because Ellen is all the way in the back...

- Who?

- Me.

There's a blue man.

- Hey!

- [Beckett] Greetings.

She has stepped on two logs

that lay across our path.

Why don't we do that?

- They could be rotten.

- [Beckett] Right.

I was gonna say that.

A rotten log will not support your weight.

That's a broken leg and an emergency evac.

Don't do it again, Ellen.

You can sit on a log. Your butt is wide,

your weight is distributed.

- You can't break your butt.

- Bet she could.

[coughs] Hey, Beckett?

My name is Helen with an "H".

Okay, pack it up. We're on the move.

Nice medium strides, people.

That was shady.

[Kaylee groans]

[upbeat music plays]

Gonna be dark soon,

maybe we should set up camp.

[Hugh] Good idea. What's for dinner?

[Beckett] Keep moving everybody.

Okay, let's see. This looks like a good

first place to set up for the night.

All right, at camp,

there is no hierarchy. We all contribute.

Jake, you're on fire duty.

Windy, start separating the food.

Uh, Mason, Sue, Hugh, Helen, and I

will all start pitching the tents.

And, uh,Kaylee, just

hang tight.

But seriously though, what's for dinner?

If you'd sold the blow-off top in April,

you could have got

a two-dollar down move in copper.

We're laying a base

for an inevitable move back up.

Are you in metals? Precious?

Or are you just looking at the macro?

Oh. Well, I'm actually

just still crunching numbers.

Wait, how How long

have you been doing this?

Trading? Um, about four years,

with, like, a 25% annualized return.

So I like to force myself

to go on these little adventures.

- You know, get away from the desk.

- Same.

Yeah, people assume

they know who I am because of all this.

But, uh, I'm more

than the sum of my parts.

I think I think we're all more

than we seem to be.

Anyone know what a bear hang is?

Friday nights at my house.

It's when you hang your food up between

two trees to keep it away from bears.

Correct? Why?

So the bears don't eat

the disgusting, dehydrated food.

- Yes.

- Or to keep bears away from your campsite.

That's right. Someone grab the food bags

and follow me.

We just sat down.

Oh my God.

Okay, who wants to be

our first bear-hang volunteer?

Jake?

Okay.

He probably needs the practice. [chuckles]

So, ideally, you want your bag

hanging 12 feet in the air,

split between two trees

that are at least 12 feet apart. Why?

Because a bear can climb

up the trees and try to reach for it.

- You want to keep it out of reach.

- That's right.

So you want two ropes, about 50 feet each.

These are ropes that are made

for a bear hang, so they're light.

Helen, can you throw

your water bottle to Jake, please?

Then attach your water bottle

using a carabiner.

We will then tie off those two pieces

of rope to two different trees

once the bag is hanging.

God. The bear can just have my food

because this is like solving cold fusion.

I love fusion cuisine.

We are now going to swing our ropes

over two opposite branches.

- I'll do this one. Jake, you do that.

- What did he say?

That doesn't clear anything up for me.

- All right, Beckett.

- [Mason] Let's see what you got, Beckett.

[Hugh] Show us what you got!

[Windy] Oh! Almost.

- [Kaylee] Shake it off.

- [Hugh] Try it one more time.

[Windy] You got this!

- [Kaylee] Oh, wow!

- [Mason] Good form.

[Windy] Nice job.

Okay, here we go, wind it up.

[upbeat music plays]

[Kaylee] Oh.

Watch your nose.

[Mason] You're gonna wanna underhand that.

Have you done this before, Beckett?

[Kaylee] Yeah, of course.

- [Windy] You got it.

- [Hugh] One more. One more. All right.

- Oh, there it goes.

- [Mason] Yeah.

- There it is.

- Nice shot.

He got it. He got it.

So, once your rope is over the branch,

you'll wanna clip your food bag to it.

- Yeah?

- Should we expect to see a bear here?

You know, it's the wilderness.

So I'd say expect anything.

What about large stray dogs?

That is very unlikely.

- Um, what if the bear is rabid?

- If the bear is rabid, it's all over.

- What's all over?

- Can't the bear chew through the rope?

Well, that is also very unlikely,

but if a rabid bear is that persistent,

you're already dead

and he's not hungry anymore.

And that's why they call it

the circle of life.

- Mufasa.

- Jake, can I get you over there?

We are now going to hoist up our bag.

This is it. See how the sausage gets made.

Just hand over hand.

[uplifting music plays]

[Beckett] It shouldn't be so heavy

that you can't lift it easily.

And you just tie the rope to secure it.

See, it's easy.

Right. It's getting dark, people.

Let's get back to camp.

Yeah.

[uplifting music continues]

I

My fingers are frozen.

- [Helen] It got so cold, so fast, right?

- I know, my goodness.

- I am not used to this.

- I'm from California, I'm not either.

[both laugh]

You doing okay?

Yeah, always. You?

[sighs] I really miss my mom.

[laughs] I'm sure

we all miss our moms though, right?

Yeah.

How do you miss her?

Well, we're sort of like best friends.

We talk almost every day.

- Hm.

- Are you close with your mom?

Well, my grandma, whose name is Gigi,

actually raised my brother and me.

Oh, I see.

Um, and may I ask

what happened to your mom?

Um, it's a lot,

and I'm pretty tired, so I don't think

we should get into it now.

That's okay, totally fine, yup.

So, do you have an outback crush?

Oh. Uh, outback crush? Wow.

Uh, well, the options

are pretty limited, aren't they?

[both laugh]

That is fair.

I'm kind of surprised at myself,actually,

because I don't know

what is happening to me,

but, girl, I am crushing on Jake.

He is so nice, so fine,

and just not like a pushover, you know?

And he's a doctor! [chuckles]

Hm. I know he said that.

I think he was a doctor.

But apparently, he quit.

So he's more a quitter,

I guess, than a doctor.

Oh, well, I got the impression

that he's just, like, taking a break.

Hm.

But even if he is, he's going

on adventures and studying whales.

Yeah. You don't think

that's a little nutty?

He's, like, a grown man

going to study whales.

It's like he's eight years old.

Well, I think he's kind of a badass.

Oh, yeah. Well, no.

For me, badasses don't go,

like, study sea life, but

I don't know. He seems weird.

- Well, good night.

- [Helen] Good night.

[exhales]

[Kaylee] Yes. Hot dog?

- Morning, guys.

- Hey.

- Oh, damn it.

- [Mason] Busted.

Hey, Jake?

Yeah. Here you go.

Got a little headache?

- I do, yeah, now that you mention it.

- [Jake] Hm.

- You should drink more water.

- Okay.

You can take a Tylenol later, too,

if it gets worse.

Also, your hat looks tight,

might be the hat.

- Feels fine.

- Like some coffee, Ellen?

Sure, yeah. My name is Helen with an "H".

Really? Helen?

With an "H", Helen. Hm.

Thank you.

Hey, um, I need help with my bandage.

Oh, yeah, right.

Um, you want to sit on that rock?

- I'll grab the first aid kit.

- [Helen] All right.

Why is this coffee so good?

I don't know.

I'm a badass at making coffee?

I have heard tales

about what a badass you are.

If you're such a badass, why do you have

so many glasses around your neck?

Are you sure you brought enough?

Wow. You're so mad that I'm here

you're gonna make fun of my glasses?

Real mature. Are you gonna

make fun of Hugh's glasses too?

No.

Look, I am farsighted,

so I need these sometimes.

These are sunglasses.

Oh, and the sun is bright,

that makes sense.

Yeah, and I have a night vision thing.

Whatever. Why does it matter?

Uh

Hey, my knee is fine.

I have some blisters, but if you just

give me the stuff, I can take care of it.

Actual blisters?

- Shh.

- Were you not taking notes?

Yes, I did. I wrote down

"deal with it," like five times.

But then I didn't deal with it on time.

Anyway, give me the stuff

and I can do it myself.

Show me.

Holy sh*t. It looks like a horror movie.

Why didn't you say something?

Because after my knee and being last

all day, I didn't wanna hold us up again.

It doesn't Anyway, I'm strong,

so I don't really notice pain.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

[Jake] Helen, are you depressed?

What What are you talking about?

Why are you here?

Probably the same reason you are.

That's impossible.

Okay, um, well, I'm out here because

I wanted to take on a new challenge

and go beyond my limitations,

and just sort of reset my life.

Hold on. Other foot.

[Helen squeals quietly]

You know, people get seriously injured

on these hikes all the time.

I know, but they're under new management.

New management? Beckett?

You trust Beckett's management?

It didn't give you pause

when you signed those 11 waivers?

No. I'm planning to get a certificate.

You'll be lucky to survive.

Oh, no, no, no.

See, that's where you're wrong.

You think you're talking

to the old, lame, teacher,

go to bed by 9:30 p.m. Helen,

but you're not.

- Huh?

- This is the new and improved Helen.

And this Helen spits in the face of danger

and pees in the woods.

New Helen sounds really gross.

Yeah. Well, she is.

Sorry, what is with

this night-vision thing?

It's, uh

Nothing. Just don't mention it

to anyone, okay?

Why not?

- I didn't pass the physical.

- Are you crazy?

We don't hike at night.

So it doesn't really matter.

You just finished saying

how dangerous it is out here,

and that's for someone

with perfect eyesight.

Yeah, well, just like you,

I needed to face some challenges.

[Beckett] You guys okay?

- Yeah.

- Real good.

- Oh my God, you've gotta be kidding me.

- [Helen] It's okay.

Okay, listen up, people.

Helen with an "H"

got four blisters on day one.

Oh my God. Here we go again.

[Beckett] We must blame Mason in part

for Helen's blisters. Why?

[Sue laughs]

Here's why. Because people like Mason,

who are super-hikers,

put pressure

on the not-so-super hikers like Helen.

Hikers like Mason get people injured

just as often as hikers like Helen do.

Wait, seriously, dude?

Um, I only injured myself.

Do not be a Mason.

Have a good attitude and be a team player.

And don't be a Helen.

If you feel a hot spot, like I explained

in great detail on the bus,

and before the bus, and after the bus

- Deal with it.

- [Beckett] Immediately.

Helen with an "H,"

are you even using your waist belt?

Oh, my God.

Outbackers, 80% of your pack's weight

should be on your hips,

not your shoulders, all right?

So tighten your waist belt

or else you're gonna get tired very fast.

I tend to do better when people point out

the things I'm doing right.

Do something right, I'll point it out.

I've heard that before.

All right, scoot the boot. Let's go,

people. It's an easy ten miles today.

I like the sun

When it shines

On the moon

At night

I like the way

The way that you smile

[Beckett] Time for trail names,

and you don't get to choose your own.

Just right

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na

[Hugh] So then I said

[laughter]

Na, na, na, na, na, na

Well, hello. Look who decided

to join the party.

High five.

I like the wind

When it blows

Me close

To you

- You have room?

- Yeah.

That you hold

Me the way

It's hike day, baby. h*!

You do

Na, na

Hiya.

Howdy.

- Ready?

- Yep.

Na, na, na, na, na, na

They're native to the hardwood forests

of eastern Canada.

It was, like, so avoidable.

You just went straight in.

- [Mason] Yeah, I mean...

- [Helen] It was so you.

- [Mason] I guess it was.

- [laughter]

Beckett, I just have to ask you.

My brother said he broke his leg

trying to play soccer with a rock.

- Is that true?

- [Beckett] It's absolutely true.

Your brother was the bane of my existence.

[laughter]

- You're studying happiness?

- Yeah.

Psychology used to focus on the problems,

like neuroses

and pathologies and disorders.

But the idea was to analyze the f'd up

parts of life in order to cure them.

- Yep.

- But I'm studying what people do right.

How happy, well-adjusted people do things.

That makes a lot of sense.

All right, two minutes to hydrate, people.

Eat a snack, if you must.

[Hugh] I guess we're not sitting down.

Every night before bed, I write down

three good things that happened to me.

- It's one of the exercises I'm studying.

- And just like that, you're happy?

Kind of. Like, name three good things

that happened to you today.

[Helen] Okay, Windy, I don't think

I could name three good things.

Uh, the weather is getting colder

and I'm low on natural gas,

I get to drink white wine again,

and I'm okay not wearing deodorant.

- [Helen] Those are good.

- [Hugh] Did not need to know that.

[Windy] Okay, Helen, your turn.

Okay. Um, well, I'm glad

we're having this conversation.

- [Windy] One.

- That's one. Um

[gasps] The oatmeal this morning

was slightly less rubbery.

- [Windy] Two. Keep it coming, dig deep.

- [Kaylee] I agree.

Um

I have a good one.

I love when you wake up in the morning

and your face is cold from mountain air,

but your sleeping bag is keeping your body

so nice and toasty warm.

[Kaylee] I love that.

- [Hugh] Yes, that is a good one.

- [Windy] It's magic.

[Helen] How about you, Windy?

- [Windy] Okay. Today.

- [Helen] Mm-hm.

Mm, let's see. I loved the cowboy coffee

that was on the stove this morning.

- [Kaylee] Love it.

- The mossy smell that's in the woods.

- The burn in my muscles as we're walking.

- [Hugh] No, thank you.

- [Kaylee] A lot of burn.

- And the fresh crispness in the air.

You're too good.

I've had more practice.

Plus, it's kind of like my battle cry.

"Appreciate everything!"

My battle cry is,

"Save the crying for your pillow, Kaylee!"

[Hugh] Kaylee.

Mine is probably, uh,

"Get out of my face!"

But I like, "Appreciate everything."

- Well, we can share.

- [Helen] Okay.

Keep it moving people,

we got a ways to go.

[sighs] Okay.

[uplifting music plays]

Why are you doing this, Sue?

Why? Why are you taking the vow

of silence? You're a talker, all right?

Women should be talking.

How about Mason

take the vow of silence, my God.

You're supposed to talk.

No, we can do this. Keep it together.

Just one more week. We got this.

[exhales]

[screams]

[clears throat]

Okay.

[uplifting music continues]

[Hugh groans]

No. I can't have any more.

I can't believe you're still eating that.

I literally want McDonalds.

- [Beckett] I'll take that.

- Oh, thank you.

Why did you come here?

And don't tell me you're resetting again.

You're not a begonia.

What?

Begonias are annuals.

You have to reset them every year.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, no more flower humor

for you, got it.

Why did I come here? Um

You know, I think I just sort of got sick

of being fed up with myself.

- You know?

- Hm.

[Helen] How about you?

Oh, well, sort of the same, really.

[sighs] I wanted to push myself.

You know, to feel like somebody.

Mm-hm.

I wanted to have a story

to tell that's interesting,

and not like the one I live every day.

[chuckles]

[sighs] I could've been

a lot of things in my life.

Somewhere along the way, I just

took a wrong turn

and can't find my way back.

Now I realize it's probably too late.

Oh, no, Hugh, that's...

It's okay.

It's the truth.

You know, I've come to terms with it,

and it just feels good to say it out loud.

Well, I know how that feels.

Yeah.

[Kaylee] Meryl, it's our turn

to clean the dishes.

I'm coming!

Kaylee. Thank you.

Oh my God.

What?

Why do you keep looking at me?

Is there something on my face?

No.

- Never mind.

- [Helen] Okay.

- [twigs snap]

- Helen, be careful.

Yeah, I was being careful.

- No, you weren't.

- What is your problem?

Every time you do something stupid

out here, somebody's gotta save you.

- Why're you always trying to save someone?

- [Jake] What?

Like when you went to California

to save the dolphins.

You remember that?

Yeah, I remember that, 'cause you were

acting like a big hero then,

just like you're acting

like a big hero now.

No, I'm not. And they were sea lions.

Okay, I see who you are, just so you know.

You're the full of humility,

unassuming doctor

who loves seeded bread,

and is great at the outdoors,

and looks down on the rest of us

like we're idiots.

I'm not looking down on anyone. I'm not

paying attention to anyone except...

I wish you would say what you're thinking

instead of staring at me like a weirdo.

Okay.

You were too good for him.

That's what you wanted to say?

[Jake] Yeah.

Here in the woods in this moment,

that's what you wanted to tell me?

Okay, why do you think

that you can tell me that?

Because I don't

I don't want you to go back to him.

Why would I do that?

That's my question.

How dare you

think that you can talk to me

about my shitty marriage.

When you've lived my life,

and made the mistakes that I've made

and you've walked in my shoes,

then maybe you can say something,

but until then, why don't you

mind your own business?

And I don't need saving.

Thank you so much.

Do you know why? 'Cause I'm saving myself.

So you can stop that now.

Okay, guys,

we're going a bit off book tomorrow.

We've made a lot of progress

the past ten days, so I'm breaking us up.

We're gonna put your navigation skills

to the test.

We'll be hiking the same trail but leave

30 minutes apart and meet up for dinner.

It's an easy trail,

we're gonna pack out completely.

You should all be back here

before sundown to set up camp again.

Oh, my Can we just leave camp set up?

Are we hiking in our tent groups?

God, I hope not. Please say no...

We'll be splitting in groups by speed.

Fastest four will go together

and slowest go together.

Except for Mason.

- You will be going with the slower group.

- Come on!

Teamwork, you're gonna learn it,

one way or the other.

- Get some shut-eye. We pack out at dawn.

- Wait.

Oh, come on, man. Can we discuss this?

Oh, believe me,

I would love to discuss it.

Discussion over!

We're a team.

[jaunty music plays]

Take it back, now over there.

Yeah, that's all right.

See you guys for dinner.

Bye, guys.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

am I seeing things?

- Is this a piece of paper?

- [Hugh] What?

[Helen] How do you collapse?

Seriously?

Actual litter?

Come on, circle up.

How many times have we talked

about respecting nature?

Huh?

Leaving no trace?

[sighs] "Find a deeper connection

to nature."

"Rise up from the ashes

like a freaking Phoenix."

"And earn a damned certificate."

[laughs]

Neat. Somebody wanna claim this?

Anyone? Hm?

No one?

Look, what did I tell you guys

would happen if I saw you litter? Huh?

- You said you'd go crazy.

- [Beckett] Right!

Oh. Oh my God.

I almost forgot.

[Helen] Hey, Beckett.

Take a few deep breaths, buddy.

Take a few deep breaths.

Everything around us is flammable.

I'm making a point.

The world isn't your garbage dump.

[Helen] What is he doing?

Do it again and I'll scorch the earth.

- [Mason] Bro, what are you doing?

- Isn't

First group, 30 seconds!

Windy, I need your help.

Can someone pick that piece of paper up?

- [Hugh] He has finally snapped.

- [Mason] Anybody else enjoy that?

- Like a freaking Phoenix, huh?

- I'm not gonna talk about it.

Okay. Hey, um

I did wanna say

I'm sorry about last night. It was...

Do not worry about it. Let's forget

about it, 'cause I'm sorry too.

Here. Why don't you hold on to that?

- But you can't read it yet.

- [Beckett] Let's do this!

- Why?

- [Beckett] Thirty minutes apart people.

Well, what will you hold on to?

I'll figure something out.

[Windy] Hey, guys, wait up!

I think Windy's got a big crush on Jake.

I mean, who doesn't?

I actually think

they'd be so great together.

Really? I sense some real tension between

the two of you. Some real vibes going on.

Oh, no, no, no.

The truth is we actually know each other.

He's my little brother's best friend,

so I've known him for years.

And we both signed up

for this trip weeks ago

without knowing that the other person had.

Okay. I can't believe

you're just telling me this now.

Also, when we were at La Rosa, he said

he signed up for this just the other day.

Like the other day,

like right before getting here?

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Weird.

- Yeah.

I don't know.

[gentle music plays]

[Mason] Helen, you wanna

give me a hand with this?

[Helen] Okay, here I come.

Does a kiss count if it's for two seconds?

- [Mason] I didn't see them kiss.

- I did.

Well

You guys, have we seen any markers?

- What markers?

- It's so tragic.

- What is?

- Jake's the best kisser and he's taken.

I can't believe

we're still talking about this.

Okay, let's hydrate, people.

[Hugh sighs]

How do you know

that he's such a great kisser?

We don't know.Windy told us.

He only kissed her though.

He quit the game right after that.

- Love at first kiss.

- [Mason] Oh my gosh.

That's not really a thing.

- Could we stop talking about this?

- They have chemistry, it's obvious.

Well, tree bark has chemistry

with that guy.

- Yeah.

- What do you mean that he's taken?

With Windy. She's got a crush on him.

He's gotta have a crush on her.

Well, but that's unconfirmed.

They both love sheepdogs,

waffle fries, sailing, and wine, so

Kaylee, everybody loves those things,

especially waffle fries.

I don't like that trail name.

"Doomsday"?

She's really smart. We should call her

"Smart Sauce."

That was dumb.

"Smarty-pants?"

Nope, not your best.

They're both great bear hangers and they

love wine. How are they not married yet?

Give it time.

This is how people meet and fall in love.

Hey, Mason's gotta pee.

Ew. What a picture.

Okay, guys. Wait, I have the map.

[upbeat music plays]

Yep, help me, Mason.

[Kaylee] But you can't

really know your parents.

Not like their friends

knew them growing up.

By the time they have you

and start raising you,

the people they were are gone.

Lost in a grown-up world. It's It's sad.

[Helen] Yeah, it is sad.

[Hugh] Don't make me cry

in the woods, Kaylee. Jeez.

Are we picking up the pace

at any point, or is this it?

[groans] Mason, you need a nap.

- Oh, no.

- I'm getting hungry.

Hey Hugh, can I see the map?

- [Kaylee moans]

- Come on, we can't be stopping again.

Why does my water taste like a hamburger?

Oh my God, yum.

Cannot wait to eat a burger.

- [Helen] Oh, no.

- Balance beam!

[Helen] We were supposed

to go over this mountain.

- We should have taken a left back here.

- [Hugh] I always wanted to be a gymnast.

But they told me I was a little too fat

to take lessons, so...

[Hugh yells]

Oh my God. Hugh?

- [Sue] Oh my God!

- [Kaylee] Hugh?

[Helen] Are you okay?

Hugh? Hugh?

- [Sue] Is he okay?

- [Helen] He's not. He's passed out.

We have to get his pack off. Mason!

- [Kaylee] Mason!

- Dude?

Can you get that side?

One, two

- [Kaylee yelps]

- [Hugh groans]

- Okay, all right. Hey. Hey, Kaylee, stop.

- Sorry.

- [Helen] Can you stand?

- No, I don't think so.

He's face down.

We can't leave him with his head down.

No, no, no! I'm fine! I'm fine.

Check the handbook,

I'm sure you can leave my head like this.

I've read the handbook cover to cover.

It does not say anything like that.

Are you supposed to move injured people?

I don't think so, but we can't leave him

with his head like this.

- I know.

- Okay.

Um, uh, you guys grab his shoulders.

I will grab his legs.

- Mason, can you come help?

- [Hugh] Wait, you know what?

Actually, I'm feeling a lot better.

- Leave me like this. My head is great.

- It's gonna be okay.

[Hugh] Put sunblock on my neck.

We're going toflip him over

like a pancake and lay him on the trail.

- Okay, all right, ready? One, two, three.

- [Hugh] No, no, no, no!

[Hugh yells]

- [Hugh groans]

- [Kaylee sighs]

Is one of his legs longer

than the other one?

[Helen] Okay, yeah, it's broken.

We have to splint his leg.

Kaylee, grab two long sticks

and, Sue, grab a long-sleeved shirt.

- [Hugh] Oh God!

- Can you move your foot at all?

I heard a crack.

Okay, that's not good.

- [Sue] Why did you step on that tree?

- [Kaylee] I got some wood.

Didn't you hear Helen get yelled at?

- Beckett said it a million times.

- [Helen] Stabilize the leg.

Really, Sue? Read the room, okay?

Oh, hey, there's a donkey.

There's a donkey?

Okay, no, he's He's hallucinating.

Can I get a number two with a large fries?

Who's going for help?

- [Sue] You are.

- You are.

I can't feel my leg.

This fully

Here is the handbook.

It will answer any questions you have.

I will be back as soon as I can.

[Sue] What if he dies?

- That's not gonna happen.

What if he keeps talking about donkeys?

- [Hugh whimpers]

- That might happen.

[Sue] You're gonna be okay.

I know Reiki.

Okay, I'm going to get help, so just

stay here with Kaylee and Sue, okay?

I'm I'm sorry. I I didn't

I don't know what happened. I'm

It's okay. Hey, you guys, set up

the sleeping bags and the tents right now

and sleep in shifts, so one of you

is awake with him at all times.

Stay safe and warm.

You guys need to work together,

and I'm coming back for you, okay?

You've got this.

[Hugh whimpers]

[determined music plays]

Okay, Helen, you can do this.

You read the handbook.

Just orient the map

to the trail.

[determined music continues]

We're gonna have to figure something out.

Obviously, this is more

than just some people being slow.

Something's gone wrong.

- It's been hours.

- [sighs] Yeah.

We just need to come up with a plan.

- I know.

- I can't just sit here.

I know, but there's nothing

we can do right now. It's too dark.

I mean, if it was just a wrong turn,

they would have been back by now.

Worst case scenario,

we will find them tomorrow. As long as...

- [Helen] Hey, guys. Hey, I found you.

- Where the hell have you been?

We missed a fork in the road,

we got lost and Hugh fell. He's injured.

How badly?

Well, he stepped on a log.

God, how many times

have I told you guys not to step on logs?

Yes, I know. You've told us many times.

But his foot went through, and he fell

forward and I think he's in shock.

- Was Hugh conscious when you left?

- Yes, but he passed out when we moved him.

Why did you move him?

He was hanging over a log. I put him

on his back and splinted his leg.

Good thinking.

How did he look when you left?

Pale. You know, clammy.

We have to get him out of there.

No, it's too dark.

The first rule of rescue

is not to add to the victim list.

We evac in the morning.

You did good.

- We'll get him out tomorrow.

- [sighs] This is serious.

Strike camp at 5 a.m.No food, no coffee.

You fuel up at the site while Jake and I

tend to Hugh. Tomorrow's gonna be a b*tch.

Hit the sack right now

and start thinking about your person.

- You're gonna need 'em tomorrow.

- Okay, sounds good, yeah.

Come here.

Are you hungry?

Or do you want some coffee?

- [Helen] Yeah, that'd be great, thank you.

- Yeah.

Honestly, I feel a little bit in shock.

It all happened so fast,

and, like, he was down.

- And Mason, just Thank you.

- Yeah.

I mean, he just shut off.

It was like that.

- I don't know what happened to him.

- Yeah.

I'm really glad you're okay.

Yeah, thanks.

I can't sleep.

I'm sorry if I'm keeping you awake.

Well, you're fine.

I, uh, can't sleep either.

What did Beckett mean when he said

we were gonna need our person today?

Well, we did a, um, an exercise

where he wanted us

to think about one person

who really loves us and believes in us,

and if it gets really hard

at any point out here,

we're sort of gonna, uh,

turn to that person in our heads

to draw strength from to keep going.

So who's your person?

My mom.

Oh, yeah, your mom's great.

She always remembers everyone's names.

She made the best icebox cake.

Yeah, she still makes that.

What about you? Who's your person?

Probably Nathan.

- Is he the, um, the brother that you lost?

- Mm.

Do you know about him?

Uh, I know

that there was some kind of accident,

but Duncan has never

really told me about it.

Yeah. Um

We were so close.

We did everything together.

We would build forts. We played this

Anyway

I won't get into it now

if we're trying to go to sleep.

No, it's okay. I wanna hear about it.

Um, well, we had just turned five

and I was six,

and we were all at my parents

friends' lake house and, um

And Nathan really wanted

to go see the boats. He loved boats.

And he kept begging me

to go with him to the marina,

and, um

I wanted to stay at the house and watch

a movie with the other kids and, um

he went out.

But I didn't notice.

Nobody noticed. And, uh

Yeah, and they found him later that night.

That's awful.

So sorry.

And so, of course, all I ever think about

is why didn't I

go with him?

Why didn't I just get my parents

to take him?

- [Jake] Well, you were six years old.

- Yeah, but

Yeah, I understand that logic, but

But it doesn't change anything.

Duncan was sick a lot.

And my mom just

Well, yeah, she just unraveled.

And that's when my parents got divorced

and my dad left us.

And then, my mom just dropped us off

at Gigi's one day.

And she never came back.

Do you know she texts me?

She sends me text messages, asking me

how I'm doing.

So I

I always write back, "Oh, I'm great."

Well, that's because you are always great.

I don't think

I've ever actually been great.

But I'm great at losing people.

I've lost Nathan,

and my parents, and now...

- You haven't lost Duncan.

- [Helen] No.

He didn't ask to be born, you know.

He was thrown into this shitshow

the same way you were.

Yeah, but I'm so mad at him.

I know it's unfair. I know that. But I

He didn't have to go through

what I went through.

He He doesn't go around carrying

this weight that I carry around. It's

Well, your parents left him too.

Yeah.

[Jake] Okay, tomorrow is gonna be brutal.

We should probably get some sleep.

Oh, did you kiss Windy?

Uh

Yeah, I did, but

We were playing Truth or Dare.

Oh, it was Truth or Dare?

Now it all makes sense.

Wait. What Why do you even care?

You're the one who still talks

to her ex-husband. Like, you guys are...

He calls me.

Yeah, and you keep answering.

You know, all you talk about

is how your breakup is lingering with you

and it's clinging to you,

but that's not what I see.

I see you clinging to it, and to To him.

Okay, um, just so you know,

I don't cling to anyone or any man,

and I'm perfectly capable

of talking to a person

who used to be my husband

without having some...

Sure. As long as that's all it is, right?

Why do you sound

like a jealous boyfriend right now?

Why do you sound

like a jealous girlfriend?

You know what?

From now on, go ahead,

kiss any beautiful

20-something who has a mouth...

- One person.

- And I can talk to any loser ex-husband.

Or any loser.

And we won't bother each other about it.

- Helen...

- [Helen] Oh, never mind. Just forget it.

Good night.

[sighs]

Okay, so I'm not sure

what to expect once we get to the site,

so, we're all gonna have

to keep our wits about us.

Wait, you know what?

- Helen?

- Yeah?

You administered care to Hugh,

set Mason, Sue, and Kaylee up for

the night and found your way back to us.

- You're our navigator this morning.

- Okay.

Good job.

Great work, Helen.

Okay, let's do this.

[tranquil music plays]

Oh, I've loved you so very long

And inside your sweet company

Green...

Sue, hand me your knife.

I'm going to end it.

I know, Greensleeves

You were my desire

- Greensleeves, you were all my...

- Oh my God.

Helen? Helen!

Oh, thank God.

- Hey.

- Oh, my gosh. You came back.

Yeah, of course. You guys did great.

- Oh, hello, nurse.

- [Jake] Let's take a look at you.

- [Hugh] Finally, some alone time with you.

- [Jake chuckles]

- Wish it was for a different reason.

- [Hugh groans]

Yeah, there's no way

he's making it out of here on this leg.

- [Hugh groans]

- Yeah.

Okay. We're gonna make a litter for Hugh.

Who's got the bear hang rope?

Uh, you three. We'll need, uh, two sticks,

about eight feet long.

They should be strong enough to carry him.

Mason, give me three jackets.

Come on, make it happen, people!

Okay, we'll meet you there

in a couple of hours. Thanks.

[Helen] You're gonna be okay, Hugh.

- You're gonna be all right, buddy.

- Okay.

Closest trailhead is three miles east.

We'll meet a team member there

with an ambulance.

Okay, let's recap.

Mason, Helen, Jake, and I

will take Hugh, day packs only.

Leave backpacks here,

get them on the way back.

I'll take Hugh's pack.

Uh, Windy, Kaylee, and Sue,

you will carry all the food and toiletries

to the campsite at Painted Meadow.

See you guys for dinner.

Tomorrow's a zero day, folks.

Let's get to it safely.

- Bye!

- Bye.

[Sue] Good luck. Love you, Hugh.

[Beckett] How's he doing?

Well, he's in a lot of pain.

He did say that Helen was his hero.

You got something right,

Helen, with an "H". Good job.

I'm gonna need a second, okay?

I need to work myself up to this.

- [Jake] Ready?

- Just look at me.

- Keep your eyes on my face.

- [Jake] One, two, three.

[Hugh screams]

Okay, keep your arms straight,

it'll be easier to carry. Okay?

- [Jake] All right.

- Good.

- [Beckett] Ready?

- [Jake] Let's do it.

[Jake] I don't know

But I've been told

I don't know, but I've been told

Our guy Beckett's 12 years old

Our guy Beckett's 12 years old

Yeah, funny. Really funny.

[Jake] TV's broke, my car is dead

[Helen and Mason] TV's broke

My car is dead

[Jake] Ended up in a stranger's bed

[Helen and Mason] Ended up

In a stranger's bed

[Beckett] A weird thing to say.

[Helen] "Ninety-nine Bottles," you guys?

It passes the time.

Ninety-nine bottles of beer

On the wall

[all] Ninety-nine bottles of beer

[Hugh groans]

- [Beckett] You doing okay?

- Take me to a spa!

[Hugh groans]

- How are you holding up?

- I'm okay. My hands hurt.

Let's see. [winces] Yeah.

- [Mason] Just a little bit more.

- [Beckett] Hey!

Hugh, the ambulance is right up there.

We're so close.

- You guys made it.

- [Mason] You wanna help us out a bit?

You're gonna be all right.

See you back in the city.

- Take care of yourself.

- You too.

- [Hugh] Hey.

- Hey.

You know, Helen, I can safely say,

out of everyone in this group,

I dislike you the least.

You're just saying that 'cause

you're all hopped up on pain meds.

Yes. But also, it's true.

I really do like you.

A bit of advice.

If you like him, just tell him.

Oh, Helen, nothing matters out here.

It's like space.

Real life is suspended.

I'm not really in this gurney

with one extra-long leg. [chuckles]

I'm in my bed at home,

and I'm gonna wake up any minute now.

Okay, listen,

he is my little brother's best friend.

- So many things make no sense...

- [Hugh] Helen.

You said you wanted to reset,

so reset with that cute thing.

Besides, I'm pretty sure

he thinks you're a phoenix.

Oh, everyone knows

the list was mine, don't they?

Yes. Yeah.

- [man] Okay, ready to go.

- Good work, soldier.

[Hugh groans]

And don't forget,

we're not liable for this.

- [Hugh] You'll hear from my lawyer.

- You signed the paperwork.

Oh, Helen, keep using sunblock.

You can't stop the signs of aging,

but you can prevent further damage.

Thank you. You just go now.

Bye!

[sighs] Feels good, doesn't it?

[sighs] What?

- How exhausted you are?

- Yeah, it does.

- [Helen sighs]

- All right, let's head back to camp.

You're about to spend a day

in my favorite place in the whole world.

I can't wait.

Me too.

[Helen] Thank you.

[man] Sure thing.

- All right, bye guys.

- [Helen] Okay.

[Beckett] Yeah, good stuff.

[siren wails]

[Helen] We did it! [laughs]

I can't wait to see.

I mean, my expectations

are very high at this point.

[uplifting music plays]

- Coffee?

- Yeah, that'd be great.

It's so beautiful here.

- Yeah, it is. Here.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry about what happened

the other day.

That's okay.

Don't worry about it, seriously.

I know how people see me.

My whole life isn't real.

I mean, I'm faking it.

I've just been pretending

and acting like a d*ck for so long that,

honestly, I don't even notice

when it's happening.

Well, I mean, you're aware of it

and it sounds like you're working on it.

I was gonna go for a walk,

do you want to come with me?

You know what? I think I'm gonna

stick around here for a little bit.

If that's all right.

- [Helen] Yeah, of course.

- Yeah.

Thanks for the coffee.

[gentle music plays]

- [Helen] Hey.

- [Beckett] Good morning.

There's a good trout fishing spot

over there in that pocket.

[Helen] Oh, cool.

My dad used to take me

fishing here growing up.

We'd hear all these stories

about how this place was haunted or holy.

Wow.

I think it's both.

I know, uh, this might

come as a surprise to you,

but I didn't really

fit in much growing up.

People didn't really know

what to make of me.

But,

out here, I fit in.

In the wilderness.

I feel like I belong.

Like I'm part of something bigger.

[chuckles]

Uh [sniffs]

You don't have trench foot, do you?

What? No.

No.

I don't need anyone getting trench foot,

so don't forget to wash

and dry your socks, okay?

Oh, yeah, okay. I will.

How we gonna get there?

Does anybody know?

We're heading

[Sue] If you were stuck on an island,

who would you rather be stuck with?

- Mason or Hugh?

- [Beckett] Neither.

Here you go, my good man.

Your crown.

[both chuckle]

Anything will do, but

[cheering]

[laughter]

[shouting]

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

Do you have, um

I'm not looking.

Throw a little out

It'll make you glad

I guess I could, uh, go for some mediocre

Give a little love

It'll all come back

Throw a little out

It'll make you glad

Whoa-oh, whoa, oh-oh

Give a little love

It'll all come back

Hey, um, I've been obsessing

over something you said at Duncan's.

You said, uh,

I'm not fun anymore.

And I have been thinking a lot about that.

What do you mean?

I think I said,

"Remember when you were fun."

Right, yeah.

That implies I used to be fun.

So when was I so much fun?

Before

- Oh, before Mike.

- Yeah.

Yeah, well. Yeah.

You remember you used to meet us

out at that college bar on Smith?

- Yes.

- You were, like, the queen of karaoke.

Yeah.

You were always so generous.

You never let us pay for anything.

You must have spent a fortune

on pizza and ranch.

I mean, you guys were broke.

- I'm really nice.

- Yeah.

[Helen chuckles]

Yeah, I remember you, Helen.

I remember

you seemed to really like your life

and you laughed all the time.

Yeah, I was young.

I didn't have as much responsibility.

Well, you're still really young.

Yeah.

Yeah, we're both young.

Look at us.

Two young people in the wilderness.

- Until a bear gets us.

- Right.

[gentle music plays]

[Helen] Well done. These are beautiful.

- Oh.

- Hey, where is Doc?

Oh, he's, uh, down the river.

Looking for a better spot.

Oh, I'll go look for him.

[Kaylee] How do we cook them?

You gotta gut it, clean it out.

Thank you for your sacrifice.

I'm gonna call the head. Lot of protein.

[Beckett] Hey, people, let's get

a fire started. Who's getting the wood?

[Helen] Jake, are you out here?

Hey, Jake?

Jake? Jake, are you out here?

Jake?

Hey, Jake?

- [Jake] Here. I'm over here.

- Where?

Here.

I'm over here.

Hey, are you hurt?

Why are you on the ground?

- No, I'm I'm

- [Helen] Hey.

[Jake] Thank you for coming for me.

Yeah.

Are you okay?

I'm just I'm scared.

Scared? What Why? Everything's fine.

I lost my glasses and I...

How did you lose them?

Don't you have those...

Yeah, I did. But they got caught

on a branch and fell off.

And I looked too long.

And that sounds so stupid.

It doesn't sound stupid.

You lost your glasses.

And it's really dark out here.

Helen, I'm I'm losing my eyesight.

- Sorry, what do What do you mean?

- It's a genetic thing.

It's called retinitis pigmentosa.

All the cones and the rods in my eyes

are dying one by one.

Oh my gosh.

So, that's Yeah.

That's why you quit being a doctor.

Yeah. I started noticing it a few years

ago and it's just gotten worse so fast.

Especially at night, you know.

And I feel like

I don't know who I am anymore.

I used to be able

to take care of everything, and I just

I feel lost. II actually am lost...

Hey. Hey. I'm here.

And I know about being lost.

You're not lost.

[quiet gentle music plays]

- [Windy] Jake? Helen?

- Yup. Yeah, we're here.

[both chuckle]

Well, thanks for, uh

For saving me.

Now we're even.

Let's go.

[gentle music continues]

[Kaylee] The girls are so pretty

I first set my eyes

On sweet Molly Malone

She wheels her wheelbarrow

Through streets broad and narrow

Crying, "c*ck and mussels

Alive, alive-oh"

[all] "Alive, alive-oh

Alive, alive-oh"

[Kaylee] "Crying, "c*ck and mussels

Alive, alive-oh"

Alive, alive-oh, alive, alive-oh

[Kaylee] Crying c*ck...

Oh, my gosh!

It's snowing.

Wow!

- [laughter]

- Oh my God!

What?!

Oh, this is special, people.

It's the first snowfall of the season.

- [Sue] It is incredible. Wow.

- [Kaylee] Beautiful.

Layer up, everybody.

Get ready for a cold overnight.

[Sue] This is insane. Feel like

that's gonna make our hike tomorrow.

It feels special on our last night.

[Mason chuckles]

This is absolutely incredible.

[gentle music plays]

[Beckett] Okay, we're packing out, people.

Nothing but footprints.

Nice.

This has been an amazing experience,

apart from Hugh almost dying.

When we get back to the bus,

we'll fill out our ballots

to vote on who wins

the BSC "Best Outbacker" certificate.

I know who I'm voting for.

All right.

Now, it's time to say goodbye

to this beautiful place.

Heads down, please.

[sighs] All-knowing mother,

I'm sorry that we are such a blight.

I'm sorry that we litter your earth and

choke your fish with plastic grocery bags.

We walk around dumb, and blind, and angry,

and we cannot always see

your incomprehensible beauty.

Thank you for this world full of miracles

and thank you for this gift

we call Painted Meadow.

We are not worthy of your love

or the happiness that you provide.

Thank you. [clears throat]

And, uh, before we go,

I would like to offer Mason

a new trail name.

Really?

- Yeah.

- All right, yeah, I accept.

Good. From henceforth, your new trail name

will now be Big Deer.

- Big Deer.

- That's cool. Deer symbolizes change.

- I like it. Big Deer.

- That's right, Chaplin.

Big Deer! [laughs]

Woody, you're our navigator.

Really? Me?

Lead us home.

Ready?

- [all] Ready!

- Yeah.

- [Beckett] That was good.

- Go, Woody.

- Love the enthusiasm.

- Let's go.

[uplifting music plays]

[uplifting music fades]

If only I'd known

That one was for Cole,

who broke my heart at the water park.

[woman] Go, Lulu!

Wish I had never gotten on that tube. Um

Anyway, uh, anybody else wanna...

Oh, Beckett's here with the award.

Oh, I have not even counted ballots yet,

so just give me, like, two seconds please.

That's not a problem.

[Helen] You don't have to be

that into it. It's fine...

- [Kaylee] Windy!

- [cheering]

Wow, you look great.

Talk about Buddhism in a bit? Drink?

- Cheers!

- All right, I love you. How's it going?

Helen with an "H", how's it going?

- You look good.

- So do you, Mason.

[Lulu] If you guys wanna

just get your windpipes in shape,

I also got some really great exercises.

All right, all right, all right, everyone,

we are now ready to award the certificate

if you wanna come on over.

All right, we're all here? Okay, great.

Uh, the, uh, certificate goes to someone

we all knew and loved very much.

Hugh!

- What?

- Hugh?

Beckett, he's not even here.

What about Helen?

Helen saved Hugh.

She deserves the certificate.

Yeah, I agree,

but you guys voted for Hugh, so.

- Nope, not me.

- I did not.

I might have. I There

They both have "H".

That's crazy. We need a recall.

That's not how this works.

It's fine, you guys. It's fine. To Hugh.

And to Helen with an "H".

- [Kaylee] Woo!

- [Sue] Love you, Helen.

Um, there's a tip jar in the back, uh,

if anyone's feeling particularly generous.

I don't believe in capitalism,

but, you know, money still helps, so

Yeah, uh,Lulu will now have a night

of, uh, very interesting karaoke,

so enjoy.

[upbeat music plays]

Interesting is just the beginning.

It goes way farther than there, people.

[chuckles] All right, um

- You had my vote.

- [Lulu] take a five-minute break, but

You have risen from the ashes and become

one with nature, Helen with an "H".

That list is gonna follow me, isn't it?

Don't drop your sh*t in the woods.

Okay.

[upbeat music continues]

Hey.

I, uh

I voted for Hugh.

I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd care.

You know, I don't care,

now that I didn't win.

Oh.

Oh, yeah.

She wouldn't give it a rest.

Doesn't believe he's taken.

He's taken?

Yeah, he's He's got someone back home.

Oh.

[Mason] Hey, guys.

[sighs] Of course he does.

[Windy] We're just talking about

hopefully keeping in touch after this.

All right, folks. g*ng. [laughs]

It's really time to get stuff started.

Helen?

Hey, what's wrong? Where are you going?

I'm going home.

Come on. Just C-Can you just stay?

I can't. I really can't.

Why? Wh-Why not?

- [Kaylee] Helen?

- Where are you going?

Hey.

- Guys, I'm sneaking out early.

- No.

Yeah. I didn't wanna interrupt anything,

but I'm going home.

- [Windy] Gonna miss you so much.

- [Helen] I'm gonna miss you guys too.

- Okay, before you go, three good things.

- [Helen] Okay.

Yes, okay. One, I'm

I'm glad nobody died on the trip.

- Yeah, me too.

- That's a plus. [laughs]

[chuckles] Two, I'm really happy about

the great new friends that I've made.

Mm.

[Helen] And three,

I know myself better.

I feel different.

- I think that's four, but it's okay.

- [Helen] Okay.

[laughter]

- Okay, you guys, I'm bad at goodbyes.

- Bye.

- I love you. See you soon. Okay, bye.

- We love you.

You're the color of a burnt rug

You're the color of a sideways look

From an undercover cop in a comic book

You're the color of a storm in June

You're the color of the moon

You're the color of the night

That's right

Color of a fight, you move me

You're the color of the color part

Of The Wizard of Oz movie

It's like Romeo and Juliet

We're like 40 dogs and cigarettes

We're like good times

That haven't happened yet, but will

[radio] I can tell

I should not be listening to this.

gonna be

When the whole world falls

I mean,Jake?

the sea

We'll be living ever after

Jake?

[laughs]

[Helen] "I do not love you

as if you were salt-rose or topaz"

[Jake] "or the arrow of carnations

the fire shoots off."

"I love you as certain dark things

are to be loved,

in secret,

between the shadow and the soul."

"I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself

the light of hidden flowers."

"Thanks to your love, a certain

solid fragrance risen from the earth

lives darkly in my body."

"I love you, without knowing how,

or when, or from where."

"I love you straightforwardly,

without complexities or pride."

"So I love you

because I know no other way than this."

"Where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest

is my hand."

"So close that your eyes close

as I fall asleep."

[gentle music plays]

[sighs]

You look so different

from when you left here a few weeks ago.

I knew! I knew something had changed.

I feel different.

I This is weird. I feel younger.

- Is that possible?

- [Gigi laughs]

'Cause Mother Nature does some wild stuff.

So does love.

Hey, Gigi, I'm I'm not in love.

[knocking on door]

Who's that?

I'll go get it.

Hi!

Hey.

It's just me.

- Come in. How was the drive?

- [Duncan] Thank you.

- Oh, it was super easy.

- [Helen] Good.

How was your hike?

I survived. I'm here.

- Yeah?

- So it was good. It was good.

Wait. What are you Oh.

That's

weird.

Um

What What are we doing?

I want to say that everything between us

has always been about me, and not you,

and it's because I've been

carrying around a lot of anger

and guilt from what happened.

And that's unfair to you,

and I would love to start over.

[laughs]

Loving this enlightened vibe

that you're giving off.

- This is nice.

- [Helen] Good.

- [Duncan] Yeah.

- Let's get some coffee, Gigi's in there.

- You're still not taking sugar?

- No, no, no. I am all about sugar.

- You're back on the sugar.

- Yup.

It's the right move.

Uh, okay, so you just go on a hike,

you're just a completely new person

all of a sudden,

but can I just say I'm really happy

you didn't die out in the woods.

- Thank you. I'm not a complete idiot.

- I know that, but, you know.

We're gonna start

talking about stuff now, aren't we?

Yeah. I know it's uncomfortable,

but we have to do that.

Only way we're gonna

figure our stuff out...

- I don't wanna talk about...

- Dunky, my boy!

- [Duncan] Gigi!

- You made it! Oh.

[kissing]

- Okay, six o'clock ready, 6:30, go.

- We're good to go.

Where? To go where?

We're doing a book club birthday party

with Gigi's on-again-off-again

boyfriend, Ricky.

Hm, I might sit this one out.

- You don't wanna go to the party?

- [Helen] No.

[Duncan] You gotta go to the party.

Why would you not go?

- Okay. Yup, better sister.

- [Duncan] Dance with me.

You're onto something. Dance!

- I said I would go.

- [Duncan] You're gonna go!

[man] Happy birthday, Ricky.

[upbeat music plays]

- Oh, Gigi!

- Wow, yeah.

Ricky and Gigi back together again.

- Wow.

- This makes sense.

- Oh my gosh, it makes all the sense.

- A beautiful thing.

[Helen] Wonderful thing.

All right, this is the last one,

or I'm gonna fall asleep.

Two is a good limit for a lightweight.

On our hike, we were always talking

about who our person was,

like the person

we could depend on the most,

and you have always been my person,

and I hope I can be your person.

Yeah, uh, you kind of always

have been my person.

Thank you, Dunks.

I'm gonna live up to that.

Okay, but first things first,

we must dance to this song immediately.

- I love this song. We have to.

- We have to.

[upbeat music plays]

[Helen] Okay, yep.

"Show me, show me, show me

How you do that trick"

"The one that makes me scream"

She said

"The one that makes me laugh"

She said

Threw her arms around my neck

"Show me how"

Hey, where'd you go?

"And I promise you

I promise that I'll run away with you"

I read the poem.

I didn't write it.

Yeah, I know you didn't write it.

I loved it. I should have stayed.

You were right out there.

I was acting like a jealous boyfriend,

but that's only because I've wanted

to be your boyfriend for a very long time.

I don't have any more time to waste

not being with you every day.

I know my life is gonna change, and that's

something that you need to consider.

But I really hope you will.

I hope y-you'll consider it, and me.

[romantic music plays]

[romantic music fades]

I love this song.

You wanna see me dance?

Yeah.

You wanna see me dance?

For as long as I can.

"I promise

That I'll run away with you"

"I'll run away with you"

[Duncan] Jake, buddy!

What's going on here?

- Yes!

- [Gigi cheers]

Amazing.

Why, you I

Spinning on that dizzy edge

I kissed her face and kissed her head

Dreamed of all the different ways

I had to make her glow

"Why are you so far away?" she said

Why won't you ever know

That I'm in love with you?

That I'm in love with you

You

Soft and only

You

Okay, people!

Okay, people.

Okay, people!

Okay, people.

Okay, people!

Okay, people.

Okay, people!

Yeah.

You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape

I must have been asleep for days

And moving lips to breathe her name

I opened up my eyes

I found myself alone, alone

Alone above a raging sea

That stole the only girl I loved

And drowned her deep inside of me

You

Soft and only

You

Lost and lonely

You

Just like heaven

["This Whisper Is Ours" by Leon III plays]

A word about forever

It goes on and on

Don't say it all over

This whisper is ours

It's every word I've ever known

Right on the tip of my tongue

Some I borrowed

And some I stole

Don't say it all over

This whisper is ours

Give me your hands

I'll take your pulse

Give me your eyes

I can see so far

Give me your mind

And then I'll know

Some I borrowed

And some I stole

Don't say it all over

This whisper is ours

The photos were staged

How could I have known?

Don't say it all over

This whisper is ours

Don't say it all over

This whisper is ours
