(PHONE RINGS)

(PHONE RINGS)

Sandy? Oh, my God!

I was just thinking about you.

Shut up. What?

Where are you gonna stay?

No, 'cause you're
staying with me!

This is awesome!

Oh, God!

BOTH: Oh!

AMY: So great! Oh.

(LAUGHING) So?

It's you! Tell me...

AMY: Every once in a while, fate
takes pity on you and sends you a friend.

We're divorced.

It's over with Levi and I.

AMY: Someone
who really gets you.

It's not my job to fix him, to
save the relationship anymore.

Hey, how is it, back at work?

AMY: Who sees
you, every side of you.

Start a women's group there.

I mean, this is
where you're needed.

(STUTTERING)
You're the antidote.

Someone who can even
reveal yourself to you.

It's just changed my
attitude about everything.

You are not an alien.

Just relax and let it go.

Oh, my gosh, I'm
getting you this.

You have found your kind.

It's all about how what we eat affects
the environment and world poverty.

It is so disturbing
in the best way.

Really? Okay, well, then
I'm getting you this one. Oh!

This is about how all the acidic
foods make your organs swell.

Oh, yeah. I know, it has changed
my thinking on everything...

AMY: Your words weave with their
words into a blanket that holds you both.

And you are safe.

BOTH: Thank you so much.

Even in conflict...

It did bother me, that when
you left, I hardly heard from you.

You feel safe. The
connection is so deep,

you almost don't see that
sliver of space between you.

Seriously. AMY: You...

Are finally gotten. I
thought about you every day.

This is special. Don't let go.

(LAUGHING) Mom! HELEN: In here.

Mom, this is Sandy.

I met her at Open Air in Hawaii,
she was in group therapy with me.

Come on in. Wow.

Oh, wow. I have heard
so much about you.

God, I feel like I know you.

I can see you in her, totally.

Right? Yeah.

Oh, my God, look at
those, are gorgeous flowers.

AMY: From her garden.

(DOG BARKS)

SANDY: Is that your dog?

Relax, Senorita, relax.

SANDY: There you go, good girl.

What an angel, huh?

Hey, Mom, Sandy's here
for a yoga intensive... Yeah.

At the university.

Oh. You're from Sacramento?

I worked in state government
for most of my life, so...

Speech writer and flack.

Sounds stimulating.

Yeah, so stimulating
I had a breakdown.

(LAUGHING)

Oh, my God.

I, uh... I could
make some dinner.

Oh, that's so sweet. AMY: Oh...

Yeah, we, uh, ate already.
SANDY: We just ate, yeah.

And actually, Sandy's gonna
give me a private yoga lesson.

That's right. Great. Yeah, to
get ready for tomorrow. Yeah.

Come do it with us.

I have an extra mat.

Oh, no.

I'll get her. I'll get
her... You work on it.

Okay, well, we'll go
set up. Okay. Great.

SANDY: Breathe. (AMY GROANS)

(YOGA MUSIC PLAYS)

Good. There you go.

Oh.

Oh, yeah, you're tight,
Amy. AMY: Ooh. Oh.

SANDY: There you go, let it
go, open it up. (AMY MOANS)

SANDY: Open it up. Oh
yeah. AMY: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Namaste.

Namaste.

(DOOR OPENS)

Hi, Helen. Hey.

Hi. I made up the
couch in the living room...

HELEN: For Sandy.

I think she'll be fine there.

Thank you so much.

SANDY: Thank you.

AMY: Oh, wow.

You know what?

I think I'm just gonna
make a couple of calls, then

journal for a little bit,
and then go to bed.

Oh, you're still
journaling? Oh, yeah.

Oh, gosh, yeah, I've been
kinda inconsistent. Really?

Oh, no, I love it.

SANDY: (MURMURING FROM
OTHER ROOM) I told you, in Riverside.

This woman, Amy, yeah...

Um, yeah, I met her
in Hawaii in treatment.

Um, I don't know...

She lives with her mother.

I don't think so.

Well, first Jenny,
now her. Yeah.

I don't know, I
don't know. Yeah.

I don't know, it's just weird, you
know, seeing people out of context.

Um, I don't know. You
know what, it's almost like...

I don't know, it's weird, it's just
different, it's... I can't even explain it.

Mmm-hmm, yeah.

(SANDY CONTINUES
MURMURING INAUDIBLY)

Hey. Hey! Hey.

AMY: Whoa, what a beautiful
notebook. SANDY: Right?

It's just, it's so heavy,
that's the only thing. Oh.

Yeah. I feel like I could
k*ll somebody with it.

How are you?

Um, oh, good, yeah.
You know, I was just...

I've gotta get to
work, and I was um...

Thinking maybe you want to drop me off,
and then you could keep my car all day.

That's so sweet, Amy.
I'm just, I'm not ready.

Oh. I'll just take a cab.

Oh, you sure? Yeah.

Okay, 'cause I sh... I guess
I gotta... okay. Yeah, great.

All right, I'm... I can't.
(CLEARS THROAT) You, uh...

You're gonna,
uh, leave her here?

It's just for like an
hour or so. Is that okay?

You guys have an
awesome day. Great, you too.

And a great seminar. Thank you.

AMY: Okay, I'll call
you from work. Okay!

HELEN: Amy? I'll be
calling you. AMY: Yeah?

AMY: See you. Have fun!

AMY: Hey!

Oh, my God, I had the best day.

My friend came to town, Sandy.

We just, like, walked
around and talked, and...

She's a yoga teacher, so we did
yoga. Have you ever done yoga

No. I'm really not limber.

Oh, Tyler, then you should!

Tyler, you've got to move
your body, you know?

Wait a second, wait.

Hey, Sandy, it's me.

I've got the best idea.

Tomorrow, during your break...

Why don't you come to the
office, and teach everybody yoga?

Yeah. No, they're really
out of shape. It's so sad.

Hey, Dougie.

Listen, tomorrow at lunch, can I
move a few of the desks around?

What for?

A yoga class. It would be
great for everybody, right?

They're cooped up in front of
their computers all day, and...

It's for girls, right?

I mean, I think probably
mostly women would come, but...

Oh, my gosh, we
could use this space!

We wouldn't even
have to move a desk!

Would they be, like, putting their
legs over their heads and sh*t?

Dougie, can we do it or not?

Absolutely.

(PHONE RINGS)

I just feel bad about what
happened at the shower, you know?

Yeah, it's...
Forget it. It's okay.

I'm really glad you
told me how you feel.

Even though it really hurt me, I'm
really glad you were honest, Krista.

Mmm...

And, um, I wanted
to give you this.

Amy, thank you.

What... Wow, what is this?

It's an organic hemp baby sling.

Okay. Okay. Yeah, you
just put it on, like this.

And then once you have it
on, see, then you can just...

Put the baby right in here.

Oh, okay. Yeah, wow. Yeah.

It's... It's cool.
Okay, I get it.

Yeah, I saw it at this store...

That I found yesterday with
Sandy, it's like... Oh, who's Sandy?

My friend from Hawaii. Mmm.

Yeah, from treatment.
It's been so amazing.

You know, having somebody here
who's been through the same thing as me.

There's just this shorthand.

I felt a little isolated
since I've been back.

With Sandy, it's just so
transparent. There's no games.

There's no ambivalence,
no judgments.

She sounds great.

She's gonna actually
be here tomorrow.

Yeah, she's teaching yoga
at lunch, down in Cogentiva.

Krista, you should come.

I don't know, I think I'd
kinda feel uncomfortable...

Oh, no, Krista. That's
the whole point of yoga.

Yeah, it's, like, uncomfortable,
sticky positions, like life...

Mmm-hmm.

And you just...

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

(WHISPERING) And
you let it go. Let it all go.

Yeah, it's really cool.

Thank you for my sling.

Mom?

Hey.

Oh, hey. How was work?

Um, it was good. SANDY: Oh.

Yeah.

How was your day? Yeah? Super.

Super, oh...

It was so, so, so,
so great. Yeah. Oh...

I had a great seminar
today. Yep. Yeah?

And then I got home, and I went
through your mom's kitchen with her.

And we talked about all the
processed foods that she's eating.

Yeah. Whoa. And what
it's doing to her body.

And then, um, I tried to give
her those feng shui ideas,

for the living room. And she
was a little bit funny about it...

But, you know, kinda resistant.

And then, um, we actually
had a really great conversation.

You did?

We talked about her childhood,
your childhood, life, everything.

It was so neat.

Okay. I mean,
that's a first, right?

Yeah. Where is she now?

She's lying down in her
room. I think it was a lot.

A lot came up. Yeah.

I want her out.

Mom! No.

She's asking all these
questions about, about your father.

About how he died,
and about my sexual life.

Oh, that's not funny.

I'm not kidding, Amy.

I don't want her here.

You know, some of us need people,
more than flowers to communicate with.

My flowers don't judge me.

And they don't start
moving my stuff around.

It's two nights.

I want her out. It's like my best
friend can't spend the f*cking night!

No!

AMY: Well, Levi has
an extra bedroom.

So, I think you're gonna
be more comfortable here.

Oh, my gosh, this is great.

It's gonna be
awesome. Hey, Amy...

Did your mom not
want me at her house?

Well... Why do you say that?

I don't know, she didn't come out of
her room to say goodbye. I just, um...

Was she pissed? (SIGHS)

You don't have to
think about that, really.

All right. I am so
thrilled that you're here.

Oh, me too. Oh, my gosh.

AMY: This is gonna be great, you
know? SANDY: Oh, yeah, definitely.

I mean, Levi needs
treatment. Yeah, don't we all?

AMY: And to hear it from somebody
other than me... You know what I'm saying?

Maybe he'd listen.

(MURMURING INAUDIBLY)

AMY: Um, call me if
you need anything, okay?

I mean, literally it's
minutes for me to come over.

So great. Okay, tomorrow.

Be a good host. Okay.

Put out the clean sheets
for this... yogini. Sure.

And I will see you tomorrow
at Cogentiva for yoga.

I just can't believe
it. So awesome.

Definitely, 'kay.

AMY: Um, thanks, dude.

AMY: I owe you one.
Okay. LEVI: Yeah, you do.

(TEXT MESSAGE TONE)

Oh, my gosh, Krista, that's
so cool you came! Yeah.

That is so awesome, I
didn't know if, you know...

You would and
stuff... Yeah, I'm here.

That's great. Cool, hey!

AMY: All right, wow!

Hey, Sandy? SANDY ON PHONE: Hey.

Hey, where are you?

SANDY: Oh, my
God, I'm so sorry, Amy.

I got caught in the most intense
dialogue, all morning with Levi...

And we just completely
lost track of time.

I mean, I didn't even
get to my seminar!

Are you kidding me?
You haven't even left?

By the time you
get here and park...

I mean, there are people
who have to go to work.

SANDY: Why don't you
teach it? You're great at yoga.

No, Sandy, I'm not a yoga
teacher, okay? You are.

There's a pregnant woman here.

SANDY: Amy, I'm so sorry.
I just, I was helping Levi...

You know, and I was talking to him
about treatment, and Open Air, and...

It got really, really deep. He
was talking to me about stuff...

You know what? You know what?

There's a room full of people
who are waiting for yoga, okay?

I can't do this right now.

(YOGA MUSIC PLAYS)

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I actually have
some really bad news.

(PHONES RING)

(CLEARS THROAT)

I really wouldn't worry about it.
Nobody wanted to do it anyway.

It's really not
like her. I mean...

She hasn't returned
any of my texts.

(TEXT MESSAGE TONE)

Okay, this is getting weird.

Like, I've called them
both, they're not picking up.

I've texted them both so many
times and nobody's writing me back.

TYLER: Maybe they're somewhere
without service, you know?

Maybe on a mountain.
Or on a beach.

Maybe they're sleeping.

Maybe they're sleeping together.

What?

(TIRES SCREECH)

(KNOCKS ON DOOR)

Hello?

(YOGA MUSIC PLAYS)

LEVI: Oh...

(LEVI MOANS AND GROANS)

SANDY: You're doing
it. You are doing it.

LEVI: Oh... SANDY: That's good.

SANDY: Good boy.

Oh, oh.

Hey, you guys.

What the... Jesus
f*cking Christ! Hey.

I'm so sorry. What the...

Wow, okay, yeah, well, you
weren't answering your phone...

No sh*t! You didn't
come to the door.

Wow, I'll just, wait in the
other room, like, till you're...

LEVI: God damn it. I
am really sorry about that.

SANDY: Amy.

Man, we had such an
intense day over here today.

We talked about everything.

Yeah, what do you mean?

The abuse in his family, and
the father and God... Everything.

Wait a minute. You did?
I mean, he did? Yeah.

You know, I talked to him
about how therapy saved my life...

Like you asked me to, and...

I just, Amy... He's in
bad shape. Bad shape.

So that's why I gave him that
massage. I just needed him to release.

He was so pent-up, you know?

Mmm-hmm. Get some of those
toxins out of his body, and...

The only thing is that
we just got started, so...

Oh. I was thinking
maybe after...

You and me, go
out, get some food.

Yeah, maybe I'll
just go home, Sandy.

Yeah? Yeah, it's been a
long day for me, too, so...

Oh, okay, um... I'm
sorry about flaking.

I'm really, really sorry. It's
just... it's not my style, and...

Um, I'm just gonna say
one quick thing to him.

Yeah.

(BLENDER WHIRRING)

Levi, please don't
f*ck her. Please?

LEVI: Come on. Levi,
I'm serious, okay?

f*ck anybody you want.

Please not her, not my friend.

You're acting crazy, okay?

Well, why are you telling her all this
sh*t about your dad and your family?

She's been on my jock all
day, since you left, okay?

She's like a n*zi interrogator.
I haven't told her anything.

You didn't tell her
about us, did you?

Um, I don't know. Maybe.

Why? Oh, my God!
What's the... I thought...

Levi, Levi! Do not touch her.

Do not kiss her.
Do not f*ck her.

f*cking batshit, you know that?

You're acting
f*cking crazy, Amy.

I am just saying,
that's it! Just don't.

I beg you. Your idea.

Your idea.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(PHONE RINGS) (TV PLAYING)

Hey, Krista, hey, um, it's Amy.

Um, I just wanted to call and,

at least, leave a message to say
thank you for coming today to the class.

I'm sorry that it didn't happen,

but it really meant a lot
to me that you came, so...

Hope you guys are having a great
night, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

I thought you'd be out
with your friend tonight.

Yeah, she's... whatever.
Not in the mood.

HELEN: When you were younger...

You had so many best friends.

You'd get a fix on a girl,

and then you'd
have a falling out,

and all the tears.

Then a new girl would show up

and she was your best friend.

HELEN: So involved.

I picked these this afternoon.
I thought you might like them.

HELEN: Would you
like your door shut?

Sure.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Aw, thank you... Okay.

So, so much, for
everything. It's a pleasure.

It was so great.

Have a safe flight.

Thank you. See ya.

Sandy? Hey, um...

What happened last night?

What happened?

I... You know.

I wrote in my journal,
and... Oh, I read

some of the book you
gave me, it's so great.

And then you talked to Levi about
going into treatment, remember?

Oh, I did, but honestly, Amy,
I just don't think he's ready.

Why would you even say that?

I mean, you don't
really know him.

Well, but I know what you told me
about him, and I know what he told me...

Yeah, but you don't
really, really know him.

You barely know me, Sandy.

I know you.

There are things you'll
never know about me.

Just like there are things
I'll never know about you.

I guess.

sh*t.

AMY: Are we connected?

What do you say about me?

Was I mean to you?

Were you to me?

What do you think of me?

Deep down?

Am I ridiculous? Or sweet?

Or decent?

Are we friends?

Do you care?

Let it go. Let it go.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Let it go.
