It Ends with Us (2024)

[bunniefuu]

(birds chirping)

(engine shuts off)

(keys jingle)

Hey. Come here.

I got you.

(cries):

I'm so sorry.

Hey, you're

gonna be okay.

I'm so sorry you couldn't

be here, honey.

I don't know

what we're gonna do.

What are we gonna do?

(sniffles)

Okay.

Oh, God,

we have to pick flowers.

-We do, yeah.

-I can't believe

we're picking flowers

for your father's funeral.

I know. I know.

I don't know why you moved.

I don't understand it.

I mean, if I had that job

that you had--

Oh, boy, I would've k*lled

for that job.

I appreciate your support

and enthusiasm, Mom.

I really do. I love you.

I'm gonna go set my stuff down.

-JENNY: Okay.

-It's lilies.

-What?

-The flowers for a funeral.

-They're...

-Oh, lilies.

I'm so--

I'm so glad you're home.

Me, too.





(music box playing

gentle music)

JENNY:

He really loved you.

Who?

Your father.

I know. I, um--

Yeah, I know. (sighs)

How's the eulogy coming, hon?

Mm, it is, um,

one of the most beautiful

things I've never written.

Just say five things

you loved about your father.

Mama, it's, uh--

it's not a grocery list.

Just fi-- five things.

(stammers)

Simple.

From the heart.

You're gonna be great.

It's gonna be great.

SHERIFF (voice-over): We're

here to honor the prestigious,

generous Andrew Bloom.

Deeply beloved mayor

of this fair town.

Husband of the highly adored

Jenny Bloom.

And father to the wonderful

and sweet Lily.

Lily, come on up

to the stage, darling.

Uh, hello.

Thank you all for joining us.

Uh, in honor of

my father's life, I would, um,

like to share with you the--

the five things

that I love most about him.

(inhales shakily)

He, um... (chuckles)

(sighs)

(people murmuring quietly)

I'm sorry.

("Strangers"

by Ethel Cain playing)

In your basement,

I grow cold

Thinking back to

what I was always told

"Don't talk to strangers

or you might fall in love"

Freezer bride,

your sweet divine

You devour

like smoked bovine hide

How funny,

I never considered myself

Tough

You're so handsome

Walking over to me now...

(door slams open)

-(breathing heavily)

-And I'll see you when you

Get here.

(grunts)

-(breathing heavily)

-(distant siren wailing)

(lighter flicks)

(exhales, sighs)

It's a strong chair.

Is it?

I'm s-- I'm sorry.

It's-it's been a day. (sighs)

Will you please

get down from there?

Um, I'm good. Thanks.

You're just making me nervous

sitting so close to the edge.

Please?

Cherry on top?

I'm okay.

You gotta be...

(exhales)

(sighs)

I once read that

maraschino cherries

stay in your stomach

for like seven years.

Or cause cancer.

I forget which.

I didn't know that

about maraschino cherries.

Yeah, I may have

made that up, but...

they are pretty gross.

Yeah, they're

definitely gross.

So, what happened?

Sorry?

What was that over--

I didn't mean to, but...

Was it a woman?

-Or man? I...

-(chuckles softly)

It was a chair, wasn't it?

Yes.

-So, what floor you live on?

-(stubs out cigarette)

You first.

Top floor, right next to

my sister and her husband.

Wow.

What do you do for a living?

Neurosurgeon.

(laughing)

Is that funny?

-Jesus. You're serious.

-Yeah.

-(laughing): Oh, really?

-Wow.

Oh, my God. Wait.

I'm so sorry.

No, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You have spent way too--

(laughing) I'm sorry.

You've spent

way too much time in school

to have me laughing like this.

I'm terrible.

I'm sorry. I-I thought

you were a crypto bro.

You thought I was

a cr-- a crypto bro?

N-No, no, no.

Yeah, no, well, I don't know,

or like

a really expensive prost*tute.

-Well, I am expensive.

-Um-- (chuckles)

You can forget about

kissing on the mouth.

(chuckling)

Um...

Why haven't I seen you before?

Well, mostly because I've

never required brain surgery.

But also 'cause

I don't live here, so...

So, you just

broke into my building?

You have a really nice view.

I do.

What's your name?

Lily.

You?

-Ryle.

-Ryle what?

Kincaid.

You just made that up

just now.

Why would I make up

my last name?

I-- Well, I mean, fine.

-What's your last name?

-(chuckles)

It's fine. We don't need to--

We don't need to do this.

I'm just asking your last name.

No, it was really nice

meeting you.

-You asked...

-Thank you. Just be careful.

Okay. It would be courteous

to give me back

-your last name.

-Oh. (stammers)

-I'm not gonna stalk you.

-(chuckles)

No, it's just really--

It's sort of embarrassing.

What is it?

Bloom.

-Your name is Lily Bloom?

-Yes.

It, um-- it actually

gets worse. Yeah.

-No way. Not possible.

-Yeah, no. It d--

-It does.

-Than Lily Bloom?

I don't really want

to talk about it,

'cause it's really kind of

embarrassing.

I'm obsessed with flowers. I--

Yeah. And I'm about

to open my first

-flower shop.

-Flower shop?

Yeah, it's a lifelong dream,

so...

-(laughing)

-(chuckles)

(laughing):

It's not-- Stop.

I told you.

No, Lily Bloom the florist.

(chuckles) No, it doesn't

sound made-up at all.

Hey, you could always

use your middle name

if it doesn't work out.

-No, Violet.

-Trust me.

-Petunia.

-No, stop.

-Of the valley.

-Wor-- (laughing)

-Toadflax.

-Blossom.

g*dd*mn,

your parents hate you.

Well, I mean,

we may never know for sure,

'cause my dad died on Monday,

so, um...

Yeah, that's actually

why I came up here,

to, uh, have a good cry

and hopefully meet

a wealthy neurosurgeon.

(chuckles)

So... (chuckles)

I'm sorry.

I could've made it back, um,

you know, to see him

before he died, but I...

I didn't.

Damn.

Yeah.

Well, you know, naked truths

aren't always pretty.

(chuckles softly)

I watched a little boy

die tonight.

He was only six years old.

His brother found a g*n

in his parents' bedroom,

and it went off by accident.

Tried everything.

(chuckles):

No one should have to...

I can't imagine

what that's gonna do

to that little boy who lived.

Destroy him for life.

That's what it'll do.

All right,

give me another one.

Naked truth. I like that.

Go on.

Okay. I...

I don't know, uh...

(sighs heavily)

The first guy

I had sex with was homeless.

-Stop it.

-Yeah, no, really.

In high school, yeah.

-Tell me more.

-(stammers) I actually think

we're supposed to say

"temporarily un-homed,"

or-or, um, or "displaced."

I shouldn't have...

Now you're just

avoiding the question.

...um, said--

I'm not.

There's nothing to tell.

Tell me--

I want the good stuff.

I-- Okay, I was friends

with this boy named Atlas.

And he was kind

and incredibly capable and,

you know,

he just got a sh*t hand.

You're making me jealous

of a homeless man.

Oh, my.

Okay, that's enough.

That's--

Your turn.

Oh, no,

I think I'm done.

Can't top that. That was

both sexy and disturbing.

(laughs)

Okay, just shock me.

Say-- I mean,

you can say anything.

I want to have

sex with you.

(laughs):

What? What?

-Well, you said to shock you.

-I mean...

What?

Uh, how many--

(chuckles) I'm sorry.

How many women

has this worked on?

I'm not

a relationship person.

-Yeah, I gathered that.

-Never been good at them.

Well, um, but how do you know

if you've never tried

having a relationship or carbs?

How do you--

How do you know

it doesn't work for you?

Carbs? I never said

I didn't eat carbs.

Come on, you don't look like

a reckless snacker.

-Well, thank you.

-(laughs)

Love isn't for me.

Lust is nice, though.

I feel like

you're missing out.

Am I?

You haven't answered

my question.

I forgot what

the question was.

How many women

has this worked on?

All of them.

Oh.

Well, I... (sighs)

I can't-- I'm...

I'm gonna have to break

your record.

I'm the kind of girl

you take home to mama.

How far would you go?

I'm not sure.

I'm an unreliable narrator.

You could try me.

("Hymn" by Rhye playing)

I'm in a wicked state

So come on fade

So come on

Fade

I'm all alone

Just call my name

Come on, love

Just call my name...

Too far?

No.

I'm warm

I'm not a restless heart

I feel a part of you...

This?

Depends what happens next.

I'm in a wicked state

-(phone ringing)

-Ah, sh*t.

So come on fade...

(sighs)

Yeah. (sighs)

No, I'm not supposed to--

(sighs)

Okay, prep the O.R.

Tell Tom he's cutting.

I'm gonna supervise.

All right,

I'll be there in ten.

-Holy sh*t.

-I know. I'm sorry.

No, I mean, holy sh*t.

I-I-I just now realized

you're actually... (chuckles)

(laughing):

a neurosurgeon.

I tried to warn you.

No, congratulations.

That's-that's amazing.

-(mutters)

-(inhales deeply)

I-- This is--

You know, I--

(sighs) I'll see you around.

Will you?

No.

It was nice meeting you,

Lily Blossom Bloom.

It was nice meeting you,

Ryle Siegfried Kincaid.

I like that.

Oh, sh*t.

-(bus door opens)

-(indistinct chatter)

(laughter)

(bus door closes)

ATLAS:

Thank you.

("Girl in Calico" by Tow'rs

playing)



It's on your lips

Held like a fist

A concussive wish

to know you

You still laugh

To talk of the past

Now contrast,

we're strangers

I still recall

the day that we met

You were wearing

your calico dress

And out of all the things

that I regret

Honey, you are not

one of them

(bus brakes squeal)

Thank you.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

(indistinct chatter, laughter)

We are mirrors

The color clear...

So, why are you at that house?

My mom kicked me out.

Why?

'Cause... (inhales)

she likes dating guys

that beat the sh*t out of her.

YOUNG LILY:

What happened to your hand?

KATIE: God, I can

smell him from here.

(girls giggling)

It got in the way.

Look, um, my parents

don't get home from work

till around 5:00, so if you...

want a shower or...

I don't know, wash clothes or--

I don't mind.

Yeah.

Sure.

Your enthusiasm's contagious.

(chuckles softly)

(chuckles)



(television playing quietly)

ELLEN DeGENERES (on TV):

Did you feel the earthquake

-this, uh, this weekend?

-AUDIENCE: Yeah!

ELLEN:

You did?

-AUDIENCE: Yeah!

-ELLEN: Wow, a lot of...

Hey.

Thanks for the clothes.

Yeah, of course.

My dad won't even know

they're gone.

He doesn't usually

wear jeans much, so...

Um, my parents aren't gonna

be home for an hour or so,

if you want to watch TV

or something.

ELLEN (on TV): You know, it's--

it was a 7.2 earthquake,

and it was located in Mexicali,

which is just south

of the U.S. border.

Uh, and when something

like that happens,

everyone thinks the same thing,

"Oh, my God.

-My Precious Moments."

-(audience laughter)



YOUNG LILY: So, uh, what do you

want to do after you graduate?

I'm, um...

signed up to go

to basic training in May.

Basic training? What is...

In the Marines.

Oh.

Wow.

(Atlas sighs)

(laughs softly)

(chuckling):

I'm sorry.

I'm... I'm sorry.

It's just the-- the clothes,

my dad's clothes,

they make you kind of look like

Ned Flanders a little.

(Young Lily chuckles)

Your clothes kind of make you

look like a carrot.

-(laughing): Oh, my God.

-Yeah.



LILY (voice-over):

Mom?

JENNY (over phone):

If it doesn't work out...

Mom, you do know

a challenge only excites me.

JENNY (over phone):

I-I-I said "if."

"A flower sales statistic

-that shocks many new floral..."

-Mom.

Mom, what makes you think

it's not gonna work out?

-"...a whopping 45% of all..."

-Mom.

Mom, are you reading this

from Google?

Of course I am.

How would I know that?

I'm worried about you.

Google is worried about you.

Well, you're both too late.

I'm picking up the keys now.

JENNY:

Okay. Okay.

-Okay, I love you.

-Wait. Sir! Sir!

JENNY: You can do this.

Make it bold and brave.

Okay, Mom.

You sound crazy.

I'll talk to you later, bye.

Hi. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

-I, uh... I just moved here.

-Okay, sweetheart.

Good luck.

Thank you.

("Everybody Needs a Friend"

playing faintly over earbuds)

(coughs)

(knocking on door)

Hi.

(music continues over earbuds)

Hello?

-Hi. Sorry.

-Oh! I'm so sorry.

-No. Sorry. I can't...

-(music stops)

-(clears throat) I can't...

-Oh, wait.

(chuckles):

I can't hear you. Hi.

-(chuckles): I'm so sorry.

-Hi. Can I help you?

-Can I help you?

-Excuse me?

The "help wanted" sign

out front?

You have

a "help wanted" sign out front.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I didn't,

I didn't put that out there.

-I just-- Yeah.

-I figured.

-I just got this place.

-It's pretty old.

And I walk by this place

every day,

and I'm just obsessed with it.

I've always wanted

to see inside,

and I was wondering, like,

"Who's gonna come along?"

And...

-It's you, yeah?

-No, it's me. Yeah, hi.

-Are you the owner?

-Yeah. I'm, uh, I'm Lily.

-Allysa.

-Nice to meet you.

Sorry, ooh, disgusting.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

-(laughs)

-Yeah.

Well...

yeah, are you looking

for any help?

Well, I'm not hiring just yet.

I just, um, I just got the keys

a few days ago,

-and I'm still sort of...

-Yeah.

...you know, figuring out

what I'm doing.

-(chuckles) So...

-Um, may I just ask:

What is this place

going to be?

A flower shop.

(scoffs)

I'm so sorry, um...

I have an issue with--

My face says it all.

I just hate flowers.

You hate flowers?

-I do.

-Oh. Okay.

Like, why don't you just

give me something that's living

rather than something

that's on its way to dying?

And then it's gonna create

more work for me

and I'm gonna have

to deal with that.

But again,

it's a solo perspective.

It's-- I find

flower shops depressing.

It's just me.

I do wish you luck.

-I'm so sorry.

-I agree.

I find them depressing.

Uh, because I feel like...

uh...

I don't know, it's like the

beauty of what a flower is--

This is ridiculous.

The beauty of what a flower is

has been lost. Right?

It's-it's, um...

It's like we order them like

takeout now. It's-it's...

-Yes.

-Right?

You know? So it's what

you're talking about.

It's highlighting the pain

and the, the tension

and the... (exhales)

You know.

The fact that it's fleeting,

and it's storytelling and...

I don't know.

That's actually what I find

beautiful about it and--

I don't know, that's what

I'm trying to do here, so...

Uh, that's

absolutely beautiful. I'm...

-(chuckles)

-If that's what you're doing...

Yeah. Sign me up. Wonderful.

-Oh, thanks. Thanks.

-(sighs)

Well, um...

Yeah, I really do

wish you the best, and...

-Thank you.

-Um...

I'll just be lurking

-around in the neighborhood.

-Yeah.

Well, hopefully

I made my first customer.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Yeah, great.

-Oh. It's so gorgeous.

-Hope to see you, um...

-Yeah. Bye.

-(chuckles) Okay.

Hey, I...

I don't know, this...

(stammers)

I do need help.

-Do you want a job?

-This is exactly

what I wanted to happen to me

when I walked in here.

-(laughs)

-Yes.

Oh, God. Okay.

-(laughs)

-(laughs) Wonderful.

-Okay.

-Great. Um, I have to be out

by 5:00 p.m. tonight.

I do have a dinner.

-Tonight?

-Yeah.

I just started working here.

-(chuckling): Okay, perfect.

Okay. -Great! Um...

I'm gonna just need to wipe off

-a surface for this girl.

-Here. Here, here.

There you go. Right?

-That's, um...

-Thank you so much.

It's a real "Ghostbusters"

situation in here, huh?

("Money (That's What I Want)"

by Barrett Strong playing)

-Hey.

-ALLYSA: Aw.

Frame it.

Oh!

Did you see that?

Oh, my God,

it's still attached.

-God, I can't watch. (screams)

Oh.

-Yeah. Yeah!

What I want

-That's what I want...

You're like Dr. Frankenstein

-but with flowers.

-(chuckles)

-Oh. Whoo!

-Okay. No, no.

We got it, we got it.

We got it.

-I-I don't have it.

-(Lily laughs)

-(ringtone playing)

-Hold on. Oh, hold on.

-My husband's calling.

-Okay. Here we go.

-Can I ask him to help us?

-Yes.

-Or is that weak?

-No, please. Genius.

-You got it? No?

-Nope. Not at all.

MARSHALL (on speaker): Babe.

Babe, the game's over.

-Where you at?

-Hi, honey.

-Where are you?

-Sweetheart, I'm at the shop

with my boss,

and we need some help

hanging something up.

I don't like

when you say "boss."

-You should be the boss.

-Babe.

MARSHALL: Let's just buy the

place and make you the boss.

Honey, you're on speaker.

-Oh. Hi.

-Yeah. Um...

-Hi.

-Just-- just, uh...

I want you to know

that they're gonna be

wearing onesies...

-Oh, I can see you.

-...because the bar gives

free beer to the people

who wear onesies

-to the Bruins game.

-LILY: Okay.

-I'm across the street. Hey.

-But they don't

always wear that.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Yeah. Oh, my God, babe,

you are stunning.

ALLYSA: Can you bring

my brother in, too?

Great.

I can't take responsibility

for either of the people

who are about to come in here,

-just so you know.

-(chuckles)

(entry bell jingles)

-ALLYSA: Hi.

-Hi.

-Mwah. You look great.

-This is Lily.

-Hi. Lily. Hi.

-MARSHALL: Oh, hey.

-Nice to meet you.

-You guys are friends.

This is, uh,

my husband Marshall.

That's my brother Ryle.

(entry bell jingles)

Hi.

-Hi.

-RYLE: Hi.

Lily.

-Lily Bloom.

-Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes.

You guys know each other?

-No.

-RYLE: A little bit.

-No, we...

-We met a few months ago.

We shared each other's

naked truths.

-Ew. Oh, that's...

-LILY: Oh.

-Uh, no, that's... That was...

-ALLYSA: Okay. Got it.

-That was a bad choice of words.

-MARSHALL: We're adults.

-That's what that was.

-You said "naked truths" first.

No. I mean, it was just,

-we just talked.

-You're lying.

Oh, that's what we're

calling it these days,

"we talked"?

'Cause we talk. All the time.

-Great. Wonderful.

-We talk, like, we talk,

like, three to five times

a week.

ALLYSA: Can I show you

the work that I've done here?

-Oh, sh-- we should talk?

-LILY: No, no, no, you guys--

-We could hang this.

-We could talk tonight.

-No, let me take you over here.

-You guys don't need-- Okay.

ALLYSA: If you could try

to take me seriously. Okay.

(Lily clears throat)

We meet again.

It's good to see you.

So, this is the flower shop

that my sister works at

'cause she's bored, huh?

Oh, we like to say

"inspired" here, um,

but yeah, this is, um...

You know, I, uh... Yeah.

Yeah.

Looks like we will be seeing

a little more

of each other, then.

Is that so?

(Allysa and Marshall

conversing quietly)

Ah, you're even more terrifying

in the daytime.

-Same.

-MARSHALL: Okay, guys?

Idea.

Let's go have

some dumb fun today.

("Praise You" by Fatboy Slim

playing)

-(song continues over speakers)

Long way together...

I've gone up to the roof

a few times.

Hoping you might

be up there.

Hard times and the good

(voice-over):

I want to see you again.

I have to celebrate you,

baby

I have to praise you...

Well, now you see me.

You know what I mean.

MARSHALL:

Okay, let's go, let's go.

Mm!

That's a bad idea, right?

Because of my sister,

because of your business...

MARSHALL:

Go, Lily!

Yeah, that's a bad idea.

-Whoo!

-RYLE: Yep, it's yours.

MARSHALL:

This is you right here, babe.

Mm-hmm.

ALLYSA:

No, hey.

Uh-uh.

She's off-limits. No.

-(laughs)

-She's mine. I see you.

-Hey.

-It's true.

So we'll just be friends, then?

-LILY: Yeah.

-MARSHALL: I like it.

MARSHALL:

(laughs) Hey.

Yeah, friends.

(laughter, lively chatter)

-To friendship.

-Yeah.

(laughing)

MARSHALL:

It's the weekend somewhere.

Let's go, let's go.

Oh, no, it--

Please don't leave, sir.

-Our Uber's about to leave.

-LILY: I love you.

-I'm gonna head home.

-No, no, no, no, no.

It's brunch in Singapore.

Come on.

-I have to sleep.

-RYLE: Let me walk you home.

No, it's fine. I--

I live right around the corner.

-I'm fine.

-It's on the way.

ALLYSA:

You live where we live.

-Semantics.

-LILY: Okay, fine, but only

'cause you'd feel really bad

if I got m*rder*d.

Okay, don't fish

where I swim, Ryle.

I love you.

See you tomorrow, Lil.

(song ends)

I appreciate you walking me,

but you really...

I can't stop

thinking about you.

I'm right here.

Well, that's the problem.

I thought we agreed

to be friends.

We did.

-But that was, like, hours ago.

-(laughs)

Can I just kiss you?

-Oh, my God.

-Just once.

-You are pushy.

-Just once.

That's all I need

to get you out of my system.

-Oh, that's it. That'll do it?

-One kiss.

Okay, well,

good luck with that.

Is that a yes?

Just once?

Just once.

(Lily sighs)

Okay.

Okay.



Did that get me

out of your system?

I'm gonna walk myself home,

okay?

Bye, friend.

("Dawn Chorus" by Thom Yorke

playing)

ATLAS (voice-over):

Is this enough over here?

YOUNG LILY (voice-over):

Yeah. Maybe add, like,

-a little right there.

-Okay.

YOUNG LILY: You're just

protecting the roots, you know,

from the snow or in case

it freezes over or anything.

I mean, the roots are the most

important part of the plant.

-Really?

-Yeah.

I didn't know that

about roots.

That's cool.

-Here, you want some?

-Oh.

(laughs)

Thank you.

Yeah, I'll take that.

What made you want

to start growing things?

When I take really good care

of these plants,

they reward me

with flowers and vegetables.

And when I don't,

they just shrivel up and die.

Kind of like us.

YOUNG LILY:

What about that oak tree?

It doesn't need

anybody to grow

because it's capable

of taking care of itself.

No matter what,

it'll keep standing.

Strong and sturdy, and...

Yeah, it survives because

it's a g*dd*mn oak tree.

If you could do it

all again

(sighs heavily)

You don't know how much

Pronto pronto, moshi mosh

Come on, chop chop

-ANDREW: It's embarrassing.

-JENNY: I-I wouldn't...

-I didn't...

-You embarrassed me.

-JENNY: Honey, please.

-You like the attention.

-JENNY: Lily's asleep upstairs.

-You better be quiet.

JENNY:

Honey, please.

-Please don't! (choking)

-(Andrew grunts)

I heard what happened

last night.

With your dad and your mom.

I don't... Okay, yeah.

Does that happen a lot?

If you could do it

all again

Yeah,

without a second thought

I don't like leaving

I'm sorry.

The door shut

I think I missed something.

(song fades)

ALLYSA:

Hey, Lily.

-Do you want to do the honors?

-No, you-you go ahead.

I want to take it in from here.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Okay.

Okay.

Hold on.

(laughing):

Oh, my God.

-This is insane.

-Congratulations.

Oh, I couldn't have done it

without you.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, I don't know what

I was thinking. Thank God.

Oh, it's incredible.

ALLYSA:

It's perfect. It's you.

-It's perfect. It's great.

-(sighs)

What if we don't get

any customers?

No, don't do that.

-Your mom's coming.

-Oh, my mom.

She's flying in

to be a customer.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, but

how depressing would that be

if the only customer we have

is my mom?

Well, Marshall's coming

this afternoon.

So that's two,

so you're good.

(laughing):

Okay, here we go.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

This doesn't even look like

the same shop.

Congratulations.

How's it going so far?

I mean, we literally

just opened, but...

So that means your brother's

the first official customer?

Oh, you have to buy something

to be considered a customer.

Right now

you're just loitering.

-Good morning, Lily.

-Good morning.

RYLE:

All right.

I'll take these.

Do you, uh, deliver?

Is that for a girl?

RYLE:

It is.

She might send them back,

knowing her.

Right. Um, okay.

That little card, fill out

the message on the front

and then the back,

you put the person's name

and the address.

Okay.

So, are you bringing

this mystery girl

to my birthday party on Friday?

'Cause I kind of, like, need

to plan for that sort of thing.

RYLE:

I don't know.

Are you going, Lily?

Yeah, of course.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

She has to go.

She's my best friend.

(Ryle chuckles)

All right.

-Thank you.

-(claps hands)

What do I owe you?

Oh, um, $51 even.

-(beeps)

-RYLE: Here you go.

LILY:

Thank you.

-This is a big moment.

-(machine chimes)

Sure is. Thank you so much

for your service...

uh, business.

(laughs)

Um, thank you. Yeah.

Hey, congrats.

ALLYSA:

Get out. Thank you.

-Good to see you.

-RYLE: Bye.

ALLYSA:

Goodbye.

Oh, my God.

He's such a dumbass.

He put the name of our shop

as the delivery address.

Weird first customer.

("White Iverson" by Post Malone

playing)

You

-Swish, ooh, ay

-Watch out, watch out

Watch out, yeah

That's my shot,

That's my shot, yeah

Spendin', I'm spendin'

All my f*ck' pay...

-WOMAN: I know.

-Oh!

Cheers!

Lily.

-Oh, my goodness.

-LILY: Hello. Happy birthday.

Lily, you came.

You look great.

I mean,

it's something important.

-What is this thing?

-Oh, uh, this is my...

It's a long story. (laughs)

Welcome to our casa. Hmm.

You guys, this...

I mean, your house...

This is... I can't believe

this is your house.

This is our humble abode.

I just wanted to do

something low-key

-for baby girl over here.

-Oh, my God.

-Mwah.

-Mwah.

And to think I did not even

marry him for the money.

You're not in it for the money.

-I'm not.

-You're my ride-or-die.

-Yeah.

-When we first met,

I was dead broke, and I was

driving a Toyota Camry.

You still drive

a Toyota Camry, though, right?

-ALLYSA: Yes, he does.

-MARSHALL: The greatest

-automobile on earth.

-Also...

Can't convince me otherwise.

He thinks it makes him

relatable.

(laughing):

It really does.

I'm a man

of the people, okay?

Happy birthday.

I'm gonna go grab a drink.

-I'll be right back.

-Okay, thank you.

Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah,

you are a man of the people.

No one's saying

that you're not.

("Dark Rain" by Drama playing)

With every little

stupid thing you say

Mm-hmm, mm

And every time

you touch me...

You didn't like

the flowers?

Stop flirting with me.

Hi. May I have

a scotch, please?

Thank you.

I can't do that.

-I thought we were friends.

-We are friends.

Okay.

Excuse me.

You're on my hand.

Thank you.

No, I'm your last one,

last one

No, I'm your

last one, last one

You love me like you never

had anyone leave you...

-Hi.

-Come on.

-What?

-What are you doing?

Nothing.

You gotta, you gotta stop.

You have to stop this.

Please.

What?

The, just the, you know,

staring at me

like that and the...

-I'm just looking at you.

-Okay.

(laughing):

You're just looking at me.

Stop showing up

at my flower shop

-and-and sending me flowers.

-My sister works there.

Stop walking through this

party, following me around.

-You're making me feel like...

-Can you just shut up

for one second?

Okay.

I like you.

What, are you five?

I'm trying here.

Go on.

You love me like

you never been left

(sets glass on table)

You love me like you never

had anyone leave you

No, I'm your last one...

Do you want to go somewhere

more private?

To talk?

To talk.

Okay.

(muffled music continues

in distance)

(breathing heavily)

-(Lily sighs)

-(zipper opening)

LILY:

No, no. No, no, no, stop.

You want me to stop?

LILY:

Mm.

No. No.

(moans) But yes.

I don't want to have sex,

not tonight.

I know, I know.

But, um, I don't do casual,

and I know that's how

you do it, but, um,

I-I won't change my mind,

and I'm sorry.

I can't do this.

You okay?

What are you doing?

Getting ready for bed.

We're going to sleep.

(scoffs) Sorry, we're...

We're what?

Going to sleep.

My God.

Do you mind?

Well, do you have something

I can wear?



(laughs)

I don't think

you've ever done this before.

-It was sexier in my head.

-(laughing)

Hmm.

Pants?



You've got it.

(whispers):

Smart-a*s.

(Lily grunts softly)

(exhales)

(whispers):

Good night, Lily Bloom.



(door opens)

-(water pours)

-(door closes)

Ryle, I'm very nice,

so I brought you coffee--

(sighs):

Oh.

(clicks tongue) Hi.

-No. Oh, no.

-Mmm.

-I understand. It's not...

-(groans)

It's not as bad

as it looks.

-It looks pretty bad.

-It's, um...

-It kind of is.

-Okay.

None of my business.

Uh, okay.

What-- Um, I'm gonna go.

(inhales sharply)

Let me just say one thing.

This man runs through women

like candy.

This is different.

Oh, is it? Wonderful.

Well, just in case

it obviously is not,

let me say that

if you're looking for, meh,

nothing from him,

that's a great option.

-LILY: Okay.

-But if you're looking

for romance,

and y-you want a relationship,

this is not the person,

and it's not about you.

And I love you.

-LILY: Yeah.

-But let me just say...

Date me.

What? (sighs)

Date me.

-I've-- I don't...

-(sets glass on counter)

Uh, what--

What does that mean? I...

ALLYSA:

Okay, no.

I'm gonna leave.

And I'm so sorry,

but I was just bringing coffee,

and now I'm so embarrassed.

(chuckles)

You can't have any of that.

That's for you.

I'm out of here.

A normal person would just

leave and go to therapy.

-(door opens)

-(sighs)

(door closes)

What are you talking about?

RYLE (voice-over):

I want to try.

("Nothing's Gonna Hurt You

(voice-over):

I want to try.

in your ear

LILY (voice-over): Come on.

You think you can do this?

It was a perverted thing

to say

RYLE (voice-over):

I have no idea.

But I said it anyway

But I definitely

want to kiss you again.

LILY (voice-over):

Well, that I can do.

Made you smile

and look away

Okay.

But don't make me regret this.

Nothing's gonna hurt you,

Hey.

Mmm. (sighs)

Mmm.

Mmm. Good morning.

Mmm, mm-mm. You've already

brushed your teeth.

-That's not fair.

-(chuckles)

-Mmm.

-I'm so sorry.

I got to go in early.

Am I gonna see you tonight?

Oh.

No. Not tonight.

My mom's in town.

She's obsessed with trying

this new restaurant, Root.

It's her dying wish

to take me there.

Your mom's in town?

Yeah.

Yeah, no, she's not

actually dying. (chuckles)

-It's... (laughs)

-Oh.

-I was just saying that.

-Oh, it's just, you didn't, uh,

you didn't tell me that.

Oh, I'm... I'm sorry.

(chuckles): I didn't think

you'd want to know.

Is there room for one more?

-(laughing) Wait.

-What?

Wait, you want to meet my mom?

Is that a problem?

I mean, I don't think

it's a good idea.

-Ouch.

-No.

No, I mean... (clears throat)

-It's not because of you.

-Mmm.

It is because of her.

This woman, this woman...

I just want to meet the mother

of the woman I love.



(sighs)

(sighs)

LILY:

Hey! Hey.

Sorry, you forgot this.

Bye.

Wait, wait, this isn't mine.

(sighs) I know.

I happen to love you, too.

(Lily moans softly)

(elevator bell dings)

(laughing):

You're gonna be late.

Get over me, my gosh!

(scoffs) I'm taken.



(exhales sharply)

YOUNG LILY:

Did you make this?

ATLAS:

Yeah.

Carved it from a branch

from your old oak tree.

In case you forget.

Strong and sturdy.

Thank you.

(students murmuring)

KATIE: Gross. I bet

she has rabies now. (chuckles)

(others chuckling, murmuring)

YOUNG LILY:

Get up.

KATIE:

I mean, he is pretty smelly.

-LILY: Get up. Get up.

-Stop. No, no.

Get up. Come on.

(students gasping, whooping)

(laughter, cheering)

(chuckles)

(chuckles) Do you like to cook?

Yeah. I love it.

Necessity is

the mother of invention.

YOUNG LILY:

Hmm.

Smells great. What is it?

Hot chocolate cookies.

Dark chocolate

with burnt marshmallows.

Ooh. Good.

My mom would splurge on

Swiss Miss for us at Christmas.

-Hmm.

-That was her favorite.

So, did you, um,

did you kiss me earlier

because you really wanted to,

or was it mostly just

to get back at Katie?

I just...

(whispers): I really need

some clarity here.

(chuckles softly)

I-I wanted to.

(chuckles softly)

(breathing heavily)

-(sighs) That-That's my dad.

-What?

That is my dad. You have to go.

-What? -No, you--

you have to go right now.

Don't forget the cookies.

12 minutes.

Okay. Okay. I got it.

You got to go right now.

-12 minutes, okay?

-Out the back door. Please go.

-(door opens)

-Go. Go, go, go.

(door closes)

(Andrew groans)

-(clears throat)

-Hey.

-Hi.

-How are you doing, honey?

-Good.

-You all right?

-How was your day? Good?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-Yeah, great.

-Good. Good. Busy?

Yeah. Um...

(grunts) Busy's good.

(chain fence rattling)

Um, I made cookies.

-Yep.

-(chuckles)

-Yeah. Or I'm starting to.

-Wow.

-Pigs are flying.

-Yeah. (chuckles)

(chuckles)

Wish I didn't love you so much.

Yeah, same.

Okay. You gonna save me some?

-Yeah, of course.

-Promise?

Yeah, I promise you.

("I Don't" by Brittany Howard

LILY: Whoa.

My God, look at this.

-Yeah, it's amazing.

-Hi.

Hi. Yeah,

we're just meeting her.

-Oh, yeah, sure. Go ahead.

-Yeah.

I am sorry in advance.

-No.

-Yeah, no, no. Prepare yourself.

-Hi. Hi, Mama. (chuckles)

-I love this place.

-It's beautiful, right?

-Oh, my God.

It looks beautiful.

-Let's order c*ck.

-Yeah. Let's.

-Hi.

-Yeah. Yes. Um...

-Hi. (chuckles)

-Mom, this is--

this is my friend, Ryle,

yeah, who I, uh,

who I now sleep with.

So, ha ha.

Uh, Ryle Kincaid.

Nice to meet you, ma'am.

-It's so nice to meet you.

-Okay.

You know you said that

out loud?

I do know

I said that out loud.

Allysa, you know,

who I work with.

-JENNY: Uh-huh?

-This is her brother.

-Oh, yes.

-Mm-hmm.

-Yeah.

-Now I see a resemblance, sure.

Oh, well, we both

favor our mother.

-JENNY: Oh.

-Oh, here it goes.

That's what everybody says

about me and Lily.

Oh, you know, I see it.

Oh, yes. The apple does not

fall far from the tree.

-(chuckles)

-How lucky are you, Lily?

-(laughs)

-LILY: The luckiest.

-How lucky am I?

-(laughter)

-Oh, my God.

-(chuckles)

Would you excuse me?

I-I have a thing. I like to

wash my hands a lot and...

-Yeah, yeah. Get out of here.

-I will.

-Leave us be.

-All right. All right.

-Bye-bye.

-(chuckles)

-O-Oh, my God.

-(clears throat)

Mom, uh, you know,

we don't need to do that.

You never told me

you were dating

-the most beautiful man.

-Well, he's--

He's got a good personality to

make up for it, though, so...

Oh, g-- okay, okay.

Uh, who is he?

Where's he work?

-What does he do? What?

-Don't do that. Don't.

Don't do what?

Hey, I am-- I'm your mother.

Boston Grace Hospital.

-Oh, no.

-Stop.

-No, please don't. Please.

-MAN: Welcome to Root.

Can I get you guys

something to drink?

God. Please. Thank you.

I need alcohol. Now.

Oh, I-I would like

to try a Negroni.

I hear they're delicious.

MAN: They are.

I'll get you a Negroni.

JENNY:

Thank you.

MAN:

And what can I get you?



Oh, I'll-- Uh, surprise me.

(sighs)

So, what'd I miss? (sighs)

JENNY: Um, are you

by any chance a doctor?

RYLE: I am. I'm actually

gonna be performing

a once-in-a-lifetime

operation soon.

JENNY (muffled): Oh, my Lord.

Is it dangerous?

RYLE (muffled):

It's a risky surgery.

It's amazing, though. He's am--

He's amazing. (chuckles)

(voices fade)

(chuckles)

So tell me about Boston.

They were the best years

of my life.

The food is

really amazing there.

-Yeah?

-And the harbor.

My uncle would take me

fishing there sometimes.

Sounds like you miss it.

Yeah.

I'm gonna move there

after the Marines.

Everything's better in Boston.

Except the girls.

Boston doesn't have you.

I'm gonna miss you.

Same.

I don't know how you did it.

But somehow,

you became my favorite person.

-Okay.

-I'm no expert.

I've only done it once.

-Okay.

-Okay.

Okay.

And I told you to be kind

And in the morning,

I'll be with you...

RYLE: I've been studying them

since they were born,

-since I've been a resident.

-Um, I-- You guys keep--

I'm gonna use the bathroom

real quick.

-JENNY: Okay, honey.

-Yeah. (chuckles)

-Okay. (chuckles)

-You get to know each other.

-All right.

-Okay, I'll be right back.

Who will fall far behind?

You look... (chuckles)

Yeah, you... (stammering)

You, uh...

Oh, God, thank you. I--

I mean, my mom didn't

recognize you, so...

-It's probably for the best.

-God, right? Yeah.

-(chuckles)

What have you been up to?

(stammers)

Just working. Living.

-Yeah, same.

-Yeah.

Yeah. Did you go

to the military or-or what?

Yeah. Yeah.

No, I did, uh, I did eight--

-Yeah, eight years.

-Wow.

Yeah. I g-got out

and moved to Boston.

What are-- What-- Um...

What are-- What are you doing

in-in-in Boston?

What-- Are you--

Are you visiting here, or...?

Oh, I live here. (chuckles)

Yeah.

Where everything's better.

(chuckles)

Mmm.

Is that your... your guy?

Uh, yeah,

that's, um, that's Ryle.

He's, yeah,

he's, uh, he's really special.

I think you'd really like him.

-I'm so happy for you.

-Yeah, thank you.

Do you have anyone,

or are you-- are you married?

Or do you have a girlfriend

or, you know, anything?

-Yeah. I got C-Cassie.

-Yeah?

Yeah, she's great.

Oh.

That's so good.

You look so well.

I, um, I don't want to

get you in trouble

or anything, so...

Hey, well, how do I find you?

-Um...

-If I wanted to find you.

I-- I mean, I--

I opened my flower shop.

(chuckles) Lily Bloom's.

-Of course you did.

-(chuckles): Yeah.

Over in, um, in Back Bay.

So, you know, you can, uh,

look me up sometime, or...

Um... (sighs)

(stammers)

Yeah. Well, I-I got to--

Well, you know.

-Yeah.

-I'm working, so...

(laughs):

Okay. Get out of here.

I'll-I'll-- Yeah.

Oh, I'll have wine, please.

You are not getting wine.

You're in a onesie.

You don't get free wine

Fair point. Whatever

you're having, I'll have it.

-11 months?

You guys, I didn't know

you were so close in age.

Oh, yeah.

Three kids in three years.

Makes you feel bad

for our mom. (chuckles)

Three?

Good morning.

-You like frittata?

-What is happening?

No, I feel like

I'm in a porno.

(chuckles):

What-- What is this?

I did not know you could cook.

(chuckles)

-I can't.

-Oh, well, good,

'cause I was starting to get

a little intimidated.

It was, you know,

a little too good to be true.

-That's for you. Yeah.

-Oh, that's mine. Thank you.

Mmm.

I like a little

hair of the dog.

Don't be shy. (chuckles)

It's actually, uh...

This is just to celebrate

my big surgery tomorrow.

(sets bottle down)

Oh, my God, I'm--

-I'm so sorry.

-No.

-No, no, no. It's fine.

-I don't-- I don't know

-what I was thinking.

-It's fine.

I... (scoffs)

It's not fine. I'm sorry.

Hey. I am sorry.

Hey, what's that mean?

The heart.

Oh, God, it's nothing.

I just... (groans)

You know, one of those

silly things you do.

No, it's not nothing.

Every tattoo means something.

Oh-- I know. No, no.

This is just like

one of those silly things

you do in high school, and I

don't know why I still have it.

(stammers, sighs)

RYLE:

No.

It's one of

my favorite parts of you.

(Lily moans)

Okay.

Baby?

-Hmm?

-I have to tell you something.

-Hmm?

-Your frittata's burning.

-(shushes)

-(chuckles)

It's gonna be perfect.

Okay.

Well, what are some of your

other favorite parts about me?

(grunts, breathing heavily)

(gasps)

RYLE:

Hey, baby.

(Lily breathing shakily)

Hey, hey.

-What was that?

-Are you okay?

What was that? No, no.

Can you give me

a second, please?

-Hey. Hey. Hey.

-Just give me a second.

-(glass crunches)

-Oh, sh*t!

-(Ryle groaning)

-Are you okay? I'm sorry.

-Oh, my God. Your hand.

-No, don't worry about my hand.

Baby, your surgery.

-(breathes heavily)

-You okay?

I think so. I don't know.

(sniffles)

Let me see it.

-Oh, sh*t. I'm sorry.

-I know. I'm hurt.

I knew we'd make a mess.

-(stammers)

-I'm so sorry.

-It was an accident.

-No. I didn't, I didn't...

-It was an...

-How did we--

-What did we do?

-It was an accident.

I'm okay. (sniffles)

-(vehicle door opens)

-LILY: God, I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

-Hey. Stop.

-Sorry I'm late.

I'm a disaster, by the way.

No, here.

I think I got everything.

-Yeah, no, no, thank you.

-(sighs)

-Okay.

-How was the wedding? (sighs)

-(sighs) Also a disaster. Uh...

-No.

(chuckles)

It's fine. It's fine.

-How's a wedding a disaster?

-It was a little, just--

Well, I mean, their marriage is

probably the disaster,

but they're fine,

they're lovely,

and they deserve each other.

But the flowers were beautiful?

Yes, the flowers were

off the char-- I'm so sorry.

-Hmm?

-I'm so sorry.

How was your--

how was your surgery?

How did your sweet hand

hold up?

-It was awesome.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Really? (chuckles)

Yeah.

There was this moment whe--

Um... (smacks lips)

Allysa and Marshall messed up.

-We're going to... to Root.

-Uh-huh.

The place we went to

with your mom.

Um, there was this moment,

and I...

Well, hold-- Why?

-Why... (stammers)

-I don't know.

I know, but I was dying

to try the new place,

-and we've already been there.

-Yeah, but they-they heard

-how we talked about it and...

-Yeah, but we could just

-call them.

-No. They're already there.

They ordered, like,

14 appetizers.

No, I know. Oh, I really

wanted to try the new place.

-You know my sister.

-I know. I'm sorry.

I know. I'll-- Hey, I will

take you there next week.

You know I love food.

That's all. That's all it is.

And you know

I'm a creature of habit.

I'll get the same exact thing

that I got last time.

Okay. Yeah, I mean,

it's perfect. The food--

The food is so good, so...

(sighs)

Hey. Hey.

What?

-Hi.

-Hi.

I'm sorry. It's been a--

it's been a week.

Um, I don't need to be

complaining to you.

You've been through it.

Um... yeah.

Tell me.

I want to hear everything.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-(lively chatter)

-(soft music playing)

-ALLYSA: Oh. -Hi.

-MARSHALL: Oh.

-Hey.

-Hey.

-Hi. -What's up?

-I'm so sorry we're late.

ALLYSA: No, don't-- Just

sit down. Don't worry about it.

Can I have this?

Can I-- Is it okay?

-Oh. Yeah. Of course.

-Thank you.

-We've ordered so much food.

-We're so sorry.

-Um, yeah, it's, it's my fault.

-Oh, baby.

I didn't-- Ryle told me

something happened,

-but he didn't tell me...

-What's up?

-Oh, sh*t.

-...it was looking like this.

-Look at you, honey.

-(stammers) It's fine.

-Doesn't even--

it doesn't even hurt. -Yeah.

No, it was a mess.

You should have seen it.

Yeah. I mean, his hand.

I mean, he got hurt, too.

-So we're-- Yeah.

-No, it's--

-I'm-I'm fine.

-(Lily chuckles)

I feel bad. It was...

(inhales sharply)

-Mmm.

-It was a beautiful mess.

Yeah. (chuckling)

MARSHALL: Wait, so, so, dude,

what happened with the surgery?

Probably the greatest day

of my life.

27 hours.

-27 hours?

-Yeah.

Dude, the only thing

I've done for 27 hours

is day-trade

and play "Call of Duty."

-Do you guys have baby names?

-(laughs)

Sorry, I didn't mean to

interrupt. I... (chuckles)

-And go on a DraftKings bender.

-(chuckles)

-ALLYSA: Baby names?

-LILY: Yeah, sorry.

-MARSHALL: Oh, yeah, um...

-I was, yeah, thinking.

We're thinking... we're

thinking something strong.

We're gonna do

big-time authors.

-This riff...

-R.L. Stine.

-(laughs)

-Judy Blume.

ALLYSA: ...is going to be

the demise of our marriage.

-ATLAS: How we doing, folks?

-MARSHALL: H.P. Lovecraft.

ALLYSA: Uh, hi.

How are you liking

your appetizers?

Oh, wonderful.

I've had one bite of one thing,

and this is already

my favorite restaurant.

-What'd you go for?

-The, um, brussels sprouts.

Ah, brussels sprouts.

What about you?

What do you like?

Oh, I'm-- I--

Impossible to choose.

-Give my regards to the chef.

-(chuckles)

Thank you. Appreciate it.

It's actually

my mother's recipe.

-ALLYSA: Oh. Oh, my...

-Hmm. That's very beautiful.

-It's my first restaurant.

-MARSHALL: Love that.

Yeah. And I love the

creativity, dude, seriously.

-So, um...

-I'm an entrepreneur as well,

so I get it.

What's-- what's your-- what's

your deal? What's your thing?

MARSHALL:

Right now, we're looking

(fading): to allocate capital

in local Boston businesses,

and a place like this

would just be amazing.

Not to be too forward,

but what are margins right now?

I mean, the place is jumping.

13, 14, 15%?

I love the story

about your mom.

You could do a Series A

and scale this thing up...

(gasps)

-ALLYSA: Honey.

-MARSHALL: Did I offend him?

No, just keep saying

"allocating capital."

I have been holding it

for so long.

I'm gonna go pee really quick.

I'll be right back.

-Do you want me to come with?

-Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good.

-Are you...?

-No, no. You guys keep talking.

I'll be right back.

Come on.

What happened?

Come on, tell me.

What happened?

Nothing. I-- We-- I...

We burned his hand, and I fell.

I know. I know. It's--

It was an accident, though.

It was...

-That was an accident?

-Yes. Y--

(shushes)

(sighs)

Leave him.

-(chuckles) God.

-You got to leave him.

-I am not your mother, Atlas.

-Leave him. Leave him.

Are you turning into yours?

-Let me out of here.

-Lily.

Let me out now.

-Lily.

-Stop.

(Lily sighs)

-Wait, what is this?

-(grunts)

-LILY: Atlas! Stop.

-You touch her again,

I'll cut your hand off

and shove it down your throat,

-you piece of sh*t.

-Stop! Atlas, stop!

Stop. (breathing heavily)

-(softly): Stop.

-Oh, so this is Atlas.

Baby, hey.

The homeless boy

you wasted your virginity on?

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Stop. Stop.

-(both grunting)

-(patrons gasping)

LILY:

Guys, stop it! Stop it!

-Stop it!

-Hey! Hey! Break it up!

-Stop! Stop! No!

-Come on.

-Please! Please, stop! No!

-Get out of my restaurant!

Stop! Let's get out of here.

Get out of my restaurant!

Stop, please, please.

Let's go.

-Get out!

-Stop it now!

-(panting)

-(patrons murmuring)

Ryle? Excuse me.

Uh, Ryle.

Ryle. Ryle, wait.

Ryle, please, wait.

What was he doing

in the bathroom, Lily?

What was he doing

in the bathroom with you?

He saw my eye,

and I think he saw your hand.

And-and he knows

it was an accident.

And I told him it was

an accident, and he know...

-(breathing heavily)

-Lily.

(whispers):

What?

(breathing heavily)

I don't--

I don't know him.

I mean, we-we were,

we were kids.

-I don't know him now.

-Anyone but him.

Anyone but him.

I don't know

what you're talking about.

I know you. Anyone but him.

(breathing shakily)

Promise me.

(breathing shakily)

Okay.

-Okay?

-Okay.

Yeah.

I don't know. I don't...

Okay.

Okay, okay, okay.

I've never been here before.

-You have me.

-I...

-You have all of me.

-I know. I know.

I know. I know.

So, if I'm not what you want,

you just...

No, no, no, no, you're fine.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

(kisses)

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Stop. Stop.

-I love you, Lily.

-I know. I know.

I know. I know. I know.

YOUNG ATLAS:

I love you, Lily.

I love you, too.

(both chuckle)

(laughs): No, please stop.

No, please, please.

-(banging on door)

-ANDREW: Lily! Open the door.

-You've got to go right now.

-Lily!

-I'm coming!

-Open the door!

You got to go right now.

Put your clothes on, Atlas.

-ANDREW: Who's in there?

-(gasps)

He's coming.

Please, come on, Atlas.

Hey! Open...







(entry bells jingle)

-Thank you. Enjoy.

-Yeah.

LILY:

Thank you for coming by.

-We appreciate it.

-MAN: Of course.

-Bye.

-Oh, wow.

-Thank you.

-Hi.

-Thanks so much for stopping in.

-Yeah.

-It's busy.

-ALLYSA: Yeah.

Whew. I think

that's the last of it.

-(breathes heavily)

-How you doing, mama?

-I'm doing.

-(chuckles)

I'm doing.

You in that little dress.

Do you mind if I...

if I see the baby for a moment?

Oh, yeah. Have a visit.

Hi, bubba. How you doing?

You getting big.

Hey, question.

If, um, we're not allowed to

go back to that restaurant...

-Yeah.

-...why is he allowed to come

to this store?

-I don't-- Okay.

-Coffee.

-(entry bells jingle)

-I'm getting coffee.

Would you like some? Hmm?

-No, I'm good. Thank you.

-ALLYSA: All right.

-Excuse me. Hi. Excuse me.

-Hi.

-ALLYSA: Thank you.

-ATLAS: You're welcome.

-Nice to see you.

-(chuckles): Yeah.

Hi.

Hi. (sighs)

This is incredible.

Yeah, thanks.

Kind of exactly, uh,

how I imagined it.

Yeah, yours, too.

Thanks.

Look at us. (chuckles)

So, look, I, um...

(smacks lips)

I came by the next day

after the fight...

...but he was here, and I-I

just didn't think that was a...

a good idea.

I just-- I just wanted to say

I'm really sorry.

-I was...

-Yeah.

...out of my mind and-and

acted like a jackass, and...

I just feel really bad

and I'm s-- I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah. No, it's all good.

It's, um...

Yeah, it's-- It was

a misunderstanding. So...

Well, I don't--

I don't know.

I mean, no, it wasn't.

I don't think it was, but...

Why are you here now? I gave

you my address months ago.

What are you--

what are you doing?

I came the next day.



And I drive this street a lot.

-Yeah.

-(chuckles softly)

(Atlas sighs)

(sighs) I'm sorry.

(chuckles softly)

Are you happy?

Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

I couldn't be happier.

Are you?

No.

Sorry.

(pen scribbling)

That your phone?

Yeah.

-What are you doing?

-(sniffs)

That's my number.

In case you need it.

Okay, well, I won't, so...

But thank you.

I hope you don't.

Hey, that, um... that thing

that he said about that--

you know, with us.

It wasn't...

(voice-over):

It wasn't wasted.

I know.

I was there.

(entry bells jingle)

-(elevator bell dings)

-(doors open)

Hi.

(sniffles)

-Hey.

-Hey.

(sighing):

Oh.

Mmm. That smells good.

Mmm. Thank you. (chuckles)

Are you happy?

Um...

are you okay?

Yeah. I'm just...

I'm just curious.

I wasn't.

But you... you make me happy.

Are you happy?

(chuckling): I mean,

I don't think anyone's happy

all the time, but, um...

I don't know if I like

the sound of that.

No, no. It's just, you know...

Of course, I deal with, um,

you know, my stuff and,

you know... (inhales deeply)

life and

-ticking clock and, you know...

-Right.

...all those decisions

that-that women have to...

have to worry

about, but, um,

I think I'm

an innately happy person.

It's, um, probably just

a coping mechanism

I learned from my mom.

-(chuckles) So...

-Your mom?

My dad used to hit her.

(sighs) sh*t, I'm so sorry.

You never told me that.

It's not something

people talk about.

Did he ever hurt you?

No. He nearly

k*lled Atlas, though.

(sighs)

Oh, my God, I'm so sorry.

Oh.

Oh, God. I...

I'm so embarrassed. I...

That mess at the restaurant.

I didn't know. That must

have been so hard on you.

Yeah.

Baby, all I want to do

in my life is protect you.

You know that, right?

When you hurt yourself

by accident, when you...

stub your toe, I blame myself.

It's like it's my fault

that the wall was there.

(chuckles) Oh, stop.

I am the luckiest g*dd*mn man

on this planet.

And I could clean up.

-Trust me.

-(laughs)

Okay, I'm not trying

to hear about that.

You don't want to

hear about that?

-(laughing): No.

-Just a little bit?

No.

You know,

I'm a ripped neurosurgeon,

-for Christ's sake.

-(laughing)

When was the last time

you saw someone

who looked like me

that wasn't on a daytime soap?

I mean, come to think of it,

yeah, no, I haven't.

-(sniffles) Yeah.

-And I'm rich.

(laughing):

Oh, and humble.

We can work on that.

God, I love you.

I know. I love you, too.

That's the problem.

It's a big problem.

LILY (voice-over):

Mm-hmm.

RYLE (voice-over):

It's a really big problem.

LILY (voice-over):

Mmm.

Mmm.



-(Ryle growls playfully)

-(laughing): Stop.

Look at her.

She's like a little alien.

Yeah, she's perfect.

(baby coos)

(Allysa sighs)

Do you want to hold her?

-Yeah. Yeah.

-ALLYSA (laughs): I knew it.

Here you go.

Look at you. Okay.

-There.

-Hi.

MARSHALL:

There we go. Right there.

-Oh, you're so beautiful. Hi.

-RYLE: Oh, wow.

ALLYSA (chuckling):

Oh.

-You're a mama.

-ALLYSA: Yeah.

Oh, my sister's a mama.

LILY:

And you're an uncle. Hmm.

Wow.

You did it.

ALLYSA (crying):

This is just hormones.

-Don't look at me.

-(others laughing)

Do you guys want kids?

-Oh, well...

-MARSHALL: No pressure.

We're not... not putting you

on the spot right now.

I mean, it would be great for

childcare and stuff like that.

(laughter)

I'm not gonna make her

put on a white dress

and have my babies.

Unless she wants to.

Then I-I would marry her

tonight.

-Oh, sh*t. He's serious.

-Oh, my gosh.

Ryle, you are...

you are drunk on baby smell.

No, no, no.

I am serious as an aneurysm.

Oh, God. Please don't do

neurosurgeon humor

when you're propos... if...

I mean, if you are.

-Is that... Is this...

-ALLYSA: He's going around.

-MARSHALL: Oh, my God.

-LILY: I mean, if that's...

-No, are you actually...

-Give me the baby.

He's actually... Please stop.

Please stop. Please stop.

-Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait.

-No, no. No, no, stop.

-Oh, he's doing it.

-Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Okay.

-Okay, what...

-(laughter)

-Can we just-just...

-ALLYSA: Can you get the baby?

-Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can

take that. -We have a baby.

You gorgeous girl.

Here you go, baby.

You get back down there.

You get back down there

right this second.

(sighs)

Will you marry me,

Lily Blossom Bloom?

-Yeah?

-MARSHALL (laughing): Okay.

ALLYSA (laughing):

This is just...

-MARSHALL: Oh, he did it.

-ALLYSA: I'm just...

-MARSHALL: This is a miracle.

-(Allysa sighs)

Oh, thank God.

Oh, my God.

(laughing)

MARSHALL (laughing):

Oh, my...



LILY: But we'll do

a proper wedding one day...

JENNY (over speaker):

You got married without me.

And I continue to be

very sorry,

but at some point, you're gonna

have to forgive me.

-I-I will wear you down.

-My wife will wear you down.

Not possible.

I don't think you should

ever forgive her. Just saying.

Oh, okay.

That's enough of that.

Hold on,

can you charge my phone?

JENNY:

I haven't been dreaming

about your wedding day

your whole life.

I've been dreaming about it

my whole life.

And I'm sorry,

I just feel cheated.

I... Yeah, okay.

Got it. Thanks, Mom.

Okay, we're gonna

find a way to move on.

JENNY: If I don't get to

watch you walk down the aisle,

I will not be denied

watching you squirm.

You want to make it up to me?

-Yes, please.

-Make me a grandbaby.

No, three. Three.

Make it triplets.

All right, can you just...

can we move past

-this conversation, please?

-(clattering)

You okay?

JENNY:

What happened?

Mom, I'll-I'll call you

right back, okay?

-Okay. Okay.

-Yeah, no, hang up.

(tablet chimes)

Hey, what happened?

Hey, you okay?

I dropped your phone...

and the case fell off.

(card rustling)

And I found this.

I called the number.

-It wasn't...

-You promised me.

-I know.

-I would never lie to you.

I know. It's-it's nothing.

-It's nothing?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-It's nothing?

Yes. Yes, I promise.

Yeah.

Okay?

It's nothing.

Okay.

Yeah.

-(grunts)

-(clattering)

(sighs)

Ryle.

Wait, baby, I promise

-I didn't mean to see him.

-(grunts)

-No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

-No, no, no, no.

-Lily, stop!

-I promise. Please. No, it's...

Please just listen to me.

Please.

-You promised me, Lily.

-I didn't know he was coming.

-Stop.

-Just talk to me.

-Stop. Stop.

-Baby, please just stop...

-You stop.

-Stop!

Please don't... (gasps)

Shh. Hey.

Just try to be still.

Just try to be still.

It's all done. Shh. I'm here.

-Stop.

-I'm here.

-Hey.

-What... what happened?

You fell down the stairs.

-(groans, whimpers)

-No, no, no, d-d-don't-don't...

don't touch it.

Yeah, you tripped, and...

and I, um...

I-I tried to catch you.

-No, Ryle, no.

-Y-You're okay. You're okay.

(sighs)

-(gasps) It hurts.

-Don't-don't-don't-don't...

I know it hurts. It hurts.

You're okay.

-Okay.

-You're okay.

Do you know who you are?

-Lily Bloom.

-Okay.

Where are you?

-Our apartment.

-Okay. Who am I?

My husband.

And what am I doing right now?

Helping me.

How many fingers

am I holding up?

(sighs) Five.

Five. And now?

-Two.

-Okay.

Tell me it's nothing.

Oh, it's nothing.

Yeah, come.

-(Ryle sighs)

-Thank you.

("Horizon" by Aldous Harding

playing)

-Am I okay?

-You're okay. You're okay.

Okay.

Let me put the water

in the bowl

For your wounds, babe

Let me fill you up

with the fingers of love

You can't lose, babe

When you watch me play,

does it feel bad, darlin'

When they choose me?

Say again, this place

ALLYSA:

Lily! Oh, my God.

Did you see it?

Did you see the magazine?

You did it. Look at this.

Top ten. We're in the top ten.

-Wait, what happened?

-We're in the top...

-You did it.

-Wait, where is it?

With the genius. I did it.

Right there.

Look, look, look. Right there.

-Oh, oh, my God.

-There's you. Oh, my God.

I'm gonna call Ryle

and then tell him to get

-50 copies of this thing.

-(laughing)

Here is your princess

And here is the horizon.

(sighs softly)



-(elevator bell dings)

-(doors open)

-Hey.

-Hey.

(song ends)

You saw? (chuckles)

-Congratulations.

-Yeah, thank you.

(laughing): I didn't know

it was a big deal.

"Best in Boston."

-"Best in Boston."

-(chuckles)

-Mmm.

-Mmm.

Oh. Hello.

(chuckles)

Okay.

(chuckles)

RYLE:

Hmm.

I love this tattoo.

Hey, remind me

what that means again.

Uh, what?

I told you.

Really doesn't mean anything?

Did you read it yet?

-Yeah. Did you?

-Mmm.

Hmm. Will you read it to me?

Oh, I don't like

that kind of stuff.

-Please.

-No. Baby, I made dinner.

-It's gonna get cold.

-Read it.

And I don't love, uh,

this kind of stuff, okay?

"Number seven, Lily Bloom's."

-No, no, skip to...

-"An avant-garde floral shop."

-What?

-Skip to number one.

"The top pick should come

as no surprise..."

No, go to the...

go to the end.

"The owner, Atlas Corrigan,

spoke to the sweet origin story

"behind his farm-to-table

hot spot, Root.

'When I was a kid,

I carved a...'"

-Carved what?

-Baby, I don't want to read.

Keep reading.

(sighs)

"'...small hollow heart

"'So the name was meant

to represent something

"'she said to me, which

I'm gonna keep between us,

"'but there was

Baby.

Just go to this last paragraph.

It gets better.

-I don't want to.

-Read it.

-I did.

-Do you love him now?

I love you.

That wasn't my question.

I don't know.

Thank you.

(chuckles)

Sorry, baby.

Come on. Let's have dinner.

-No.

-Okay.

Please.

Hey, no, no, no. Not now.

Please, just... Please. Hey.

Stop, please.

Baby, stop. Stop.

-You want me to stop?

-Not now.

-Hey, stop it.

-Mm-mm.

Stop it.

-Stop.

Stop, please. Please stop.

-Hey.

-Hey.

LILY:

Stop.

Stop it.

Stop. Stop.

Hey. Don't.

Stop. Stop. Hey.

What are you doing?

-Stop. Stop.

-Hey.

-What are you doing?

-Shh, shh.

-What are you doing? Stop.

-Baby.

-Stop.

-Hey.

(Lily breathing heavily)

Hey.

I love you.

I just haven't shown you

how much I love you.

You have. You have.

No.

LILY (voice shaking):

You have.

-Baby.

-Please.

You have, baby. You have.

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

-I love you so much.

-I love you, baby.

-I love you.

-I love you so much.

Baby.

Baby, please stop.

Please stop.

Please. Hey. Hey, stop.

Stop. Hey. Stop.

-Look at me. Look at me.

-I love you so much.

No, no, look at me.

Hey, look at me.

And I want you to know

-that I love you enough.

-I love you.

-No, you have. You have.

-No.

Hey, hey, look at me.

Look at me.

I love you.

Baby, look at me.

Please look at me.

Please look at me.

-Please look at me.

-That tattoo.

Please look at me.

Please look at me.

Please. Please. Please.

I love you. I love you.

I love you. Please.

(voice-over):

Please don't do this.

Please. Please. Please.

No! (yells)

(both grunt)

(gasping)

(breathing heavily)

(engine starts)



I don't think I'm showing you

how much I love you.

LILY (voice-over):

Yes, you have.

RYLE (voice-over):

No. No, I haven't.

LILY (voice-over):

Hey.

(breathing heavily)

(hyperventilating)

-Hands.

-Yes, Chef.



I was never gonna

become her.

You're not becoming her.

Don't even think about that.

Okay?

-(sighs) Yeah.

-You're not.

Is that what I think it is?

Yeah.

ATLAS:

I want to tell you something.

I don't know if

it's the right time, but I...

JOHNSON:

Sorry for the delay.

Been really busy tonight.

So, we have

a certain examination

for these situations.

It's called the SANE exam.

It's completely optional,

of course.

Oh, I, um, uh...

I w-- He didn't...

-No, I wasn't-- It's...

-Did he try?

I don't need the exam.

Thank you. Yeah.

May I?

Oh, yeah. Of course.

-Does this hurt?

-Mm-mm.

-JOHNSON: This?

-Mm-mm.

No, it's just the skin. Yeah.

So, usually...

I'd give you an X-ray

on this collarbone

to make sure that

-it isn't fractured.

-Mm-hmm.

But given your situation,

we're gonna clean it up,

and the nurse is gonna come in

and give you a tetanus shot.

Uh, I-- I don't understand.

We don't give X-rays

to pregnant women

unless it's vital.

Okay?

-Yeah.

-All right. I'll be right back.

-Okay.

-Okay.



(home alarm beeping steadily)

LILY (voice-over):

There's no Cassie, is there?

(beeping stops)

ATLAS (voice-over):

No.

No, there isn't.

It's, uh, it's the place.

Um... kitchen, living room.

Um, hey, let me grab you

some clothes.

LILY:

Thank you.

My dad won't even notice

they're gone.

Um, bedroom's all yours.

No, I'm not gonna

take your bedroom.

No. Please. I have to get up

early for work anyway, so...

I love that couch.

It's-it's a good couch.

So, stay as long

as you want.

Thank you.

Okay. Now, get some rest.

See you tomorrow.

(shower running)





(cell phone ringing)

(ringing continues)

(TV playing indistinctly)

Hey.

Hi.

(sighs, clicks tongue)

I wasn't sure

if you were hungry,

so I went with

a few fan favorites.

What song do you want

at your funeral?

If you had to pick one.

Have you not thought

about this?

What song you're gonna play

at my funeral?

Yeah. Oh, at my funeral,

I'm thinking

-Creed, "With Arms Wide Open."

-Mm-hmm.

-You know. With arms wide...

-Yeah.

-As the casket's being lowered.

-Uh-huh.

(both laughing)

You're gonna be okay.

It doesn't feel like it.

I know.

But you are.

I think it's a little different

this time.

If I can't even

take care of myself,

then how am I, um...

you know, supposed

to take care of a baby?

The night I went

to that old abandoned house,

I didn't go there because

I needed a place to stay.

I went there to k*ll myself.

And I was sitting

on the living room floor,

and I saw you

in your bedroom window.

The light came on,

and you poked your head

through that curtain,

and as soon as I saw your face,

I couldn't do it.

The next day,

you brought me food.

You fed me.

(breathing shakily)

I mean, you saved...

You saved my life

is what I'm trying to say.

That's who you are.

And if you decide to keep it,

you are going to be...

(sniffles)

...an amazing mother.

And that baby is so lucky.

You've got this.

(engine shuts off)

Uh, Lily.



(breathing shakily)

If you ever find yourself

in the position

to love somebody again,

just fall in love with me.

Yeah. Okay.



(Allysa breathes shakily)

I'm so sorry.

(sighs)

I've been watching him

my entire life,

and I've seen...

...how afraid he is

of opening his heart

to anyone...

...ever since he was a kid.

And I think I felt

that he was dying inside.

Just dying inside,

little by little...

...until he met you.

And I'm not making

any excuses, uh...

I never...

I never thought

he was capable of this.

Um...

Would it-- Would it be okay

if I asked

what happened to Emerson?

Of course.

(chuckles softly)

You deserve to know,

and it's our family.

Um...

My father had a g*n.

Ryle and Emerson were playing

in the house,

you know,

pretending to be cowboys,

and they found it.

And Ryle was six years old.

He was a six-year-old boy.

(sniffles)

He didn't even know

that it was a real g*n.

He thought that

it was pretend... (sniffles)

...until it was t-- too late.

(Allysa crying)

-Emerson was our brother...

-I'm so sorry, Allysa.

-...h-his best friend.

-I'm sorry.

(Allysa sniffles)

He's never been

the same since.

Yeah.

To be at that funeral...

(breathing shakily)

I really did

used to love flowers.

Listen to me.

As his sister,

I wish more than anything

that you could find a way

to forgive him.

But as your best friend,

Lily, if you take him back,

I will never

speak to you again.

(softly): Come here.

Come here. Come here.

I'm so sorry.

LILY: You're the best friend

I ever had. (chuckles)

I'll be an even better auntie.

(Lily sniffles)

(softly):

Sweetheart.

("My Tears Ricochet"

by Taylor Swift playing)

(phone vibrating)

We gather here

We line up

Weeping in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire

You'll be

made of ashes, too

Even on my worst day,

did I deserve, babe...

Uh, that side.

Yeah, if I hold it like this,

I think it'll be

a little easier.

-Righty-tighty, I think.

-Yep. Come on.

-I'm sorry.

-No, no.

You got it. You got it.

Your dad always

did this stuff.

Oh, well, I'm sure you built

a thing or two in your life.

No, no. No, no.

-That was always his domain.

-Oh, come on.

(Jenny grunts)

It doesn't want to

go in there.

-Oh.

-Um...

Flying around,

saving face...

Wh-Why did you stay with him?

(Jenny sighs)

Why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name...

It would've been harder

to leave.

Look how my tears ricochet

And I loved him. (sighs)

Yeah, me, too.

I think I got it.

Never knowing

what they'll mean...

JULIE:

And that's the heartbeat.

-LILY: Mm.

-JULIE: Look at that.

Do you want to know?

You can tell already?

I can.

You know

I didn't want to...

Okay.

Yeah. Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Okay.

You wear the same jewels

that I gave you...

-Can you see that?

-Uh-huh.

JULIE:

That's her little head.

(exhales)

Hi.

Hi, baby girl.

Her, huh? (chuckles)

You used to tell me

I was brave...

Hi.

Hi, my baby girl.

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at

how my tears ricochet

And I can go

anywhere I want

-(sighs)

-(doorbell rings)

Anywhere I want,

just not home

And you can aim

for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me

in your bones

(sighs)

And I still talk to you

Hi. (chuckles)

When I'm screaming

at the sky

And when you can't sleep

at night

You hear

my stolen lullabies

(sighs) It's always...

Yeah. Oh, thank you.

Mm.

I didn't have it in myself

To go with grace

(inhales deeply)

And so the battleships

will sink beneath...

Is she kicking?

Oh, yeah.

(sighs) Yeah.

You had to k*ll me,

but it k*lled you

Just the same,

cursing my name...

All right.

-Sturdy.

-(grunts)

Here you go.

Grab this side.

Thank you.

Yeah, perfect.

I can clean all this up, so...

Okay. (sighs)

Cursing my name

Wishing I stayed

Look at how

my tears ricochet.

Do you want to feel...

before you go?

I-If you want.

-Is she kicking now?

-(chuckles) Always.

Yeah.

-Uh, yes.

-Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah.

-Here. Right here.

-Oh.

(chuckles) There she is.

Yeah.

Big old noggin.

You feel that?

That's her little heel.

You feel that?

She's kind of stretching.

Yeah. (chuckles)

(Lily sighs)

Come home.

Look, I won't--

It will never happen again.

I promise.

I will-- I will get help.

Please come home.

(song fades)

-I'm s--

-You're gonna be late for work.

-(door opens)

-(breathing shakily)

(door closes)











Come.

You want to join us?

We got room for one more.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-I know. I got you.

-(Ryle sighs)

I got you.

(baby coos)

-Hey.

-Want to hold her?

Yeah.

-Here you go.

-Hey.

Hi.

Mommy's got you.

(clicking tongue)

-Yeah.

-(whispering)

-Still here.

-(shushing)

Mommy's got you.

I know, I know.

-(baby fusses)

-I know.

-(shushes)

-Keep her cozy.

-Oh, hi.

-There we go.

Hi, beautiful.

There we go.

-I'm your daddy.

-Yeah.

You sure are.

(sniffles) Yeah.

What should we call her?

I was thinking we could

name her after your brother.

Emerson.

Yeah. Emerson.

That way,

we can call her Emmy.

What do you think?

(voice breaking):

I think that's the nicest thing

anyone's ever done for me.

(kisses, sniffs)

Thank you. (crying)

-(Emmy crying)

-(shushes) It's okay.

It's okay. Daddy's got you.

Daddy's got you, Emmy.

(crying continues)

Hi.

Hi, beautiful.

I'm your daddy.

(Ryle and Lily sighing)

I'm gonna

keep you safe, Emmy.

I'm gonna keep you safe.

-(Emmy fussing)

-(shushes)

(kissing)

I want a divorce.

Hey. Let's not.

Hey, yes.

Yeah.

-(sniffles)

-Yeah.

It's not for you or me.

It's for her.

Yeah, you know.

Look at her.

What if, one day, she, uh...

(sniffles)

she came to you and said,

"My boyfriend hit me"?

What would you...

what would you say to her?

Or if she said,

"Daddy, my husband

"pushed me down the stairs,

but he--

he said it was an accident,

so it's fine"? (chuckles)

Or if she said

her husband held her down

and she begged him to stop,

but he swore

he'd never do it again?

What would you tell her?

If the person she loved...

...was...

was hurting her,

what would you say to her?

I would beg her

to leave him.

Yeah.

And I'd beg her

never to go back.

(breathing shakily)

Want to go to your mama?

You have such a good mama.

Here. (inhales deeply)

I got you, bug. I got you.

Yes, my love.

Okay. I'm gonna...

(sniffles)

(chatter in hallway)

(door closes)

(sighs)

-(Emmy fusses)

-Yeah.

(sniffles)

There you go, bug.

Mama's got you.

Mama's got you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Stops right here, bubba,

with you and me.

(sighs)

It ends with us.

(sniffles) Okay?

It ends with us.

(patting softly)

Yeah. Yeah.



-Love you.

-Thank you.

Oh, Mama, I love you.

I'm so proud of you.

(sniffles)

(sniffles)

-(inhales sharply)

-(sighs) Okay.

-Okay.

-Okay.

-Be right back.

-Okay.

(breathing shakily)

Let's go meet your grandpa.

Okay. (sighs)

Goodbye, Pops.

(exhales sharply)

Okay.

-That's enough of that.

-(Jenny chuckles)

(Lily chuckles, sniffles)

Come on.

It's also a little scary.

(chuckles)

(indistinct chatter)





(playful chatter, laughter)





-Hi.

-Hi.

-How've you...

-Was that your daughter?

Yeah, that's Emmy.

I saw you guys before.

I just...

-Mm-hmm.

-I didn't...

Yeah.

-She's beautiful.

-Oh. (chuckles)

Thanks.

Are you still with...

No.

No, no, it's--

it's, uh, just us.

Oh.

("Love the Hell Out of You"

by Lewis Capaldi playing)

Wow.

You know that

I've been there, too...

-Are... you with anyone?

-How's the store?

Feels like

the world's gonna end

No.

But I'll get you through

Not yet.

If it's the last thing I do

I'm gonna love

The hell out of you

Take all the pain

That you're going through

I'll bring you heaven

If that's what you need

'Cause you've always loved

The hell out of me

You brought resounding

techniques for my grounding

When I

Had lost it a little too far

from the middle to find

Some solace

from all this exhaustion

And monsters of mine

So you better know

That I'll bring you home

I'm gonna love

The hell out of you

Take all the pain

That you're going through

And I'll bring you heaven

If that's what you need

'Cause you've always loved

The hell out of me

Me

In the moment

you feel half complete

Know the moments

are temporary

When the fear fuels

the fire underneath

I'm gonna love

The hell out of you

Take all the pain

That you're going through

And I'll bring you heaven

Yeah, if that's

what you need

'Cause you've always loved

The hell out of me

You've always loved

The hell out of me.
