[HOWARD JONES, "THINGS CAN ONLY
GET BETTER"]
We're not scared to
lose it all
Security thrown
through the wall
Future dreams we
have to realize
A thousand skeptic hands
Won't keep us from the
things we plan
Unless we're clinging
to the things we prize
And do you feel scared
I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Treating today as
though it was the last
The final show
Get to 60 and feel no regret
It may take a little time,
a lonely path, an uphill climb
Success or failure
will not alter it
And do you feel scared
I do
But I won't stop and falter
And if we threw it all away
Things can only get better
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa,
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
[phone ringing]
- Hey, honey.
I'm so excited to see you, but
I'm having some vehicle issues,
and I'm not at the house yet.
Flat tire.
No, I know, I know.
It's-- listen, I'll
make it up to you.
I have my ways.
If you get to the house before
me, the code to the front door
is 2215.
Yeah, 2215.
All right.
I'll see you soon.
[rustling]
[water running]
And you shave for them.
Okay.
[sighs]
This is going to be the
best weekend of your life.
[car approaching]
[laughs]
- Unreal.
I thought you were
going to be late.
- I lied.
- Mm-hmm.
It's not my birthday.
- I know, but they only
had birthday cakes.
- Why'd you even get a cake?
- Because we're celebrating.
- Oh.
Well.
Mm-hmm.
- Really? That's good?
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, try it.
- This can't be good.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
[music fades]
- I hope that wasn't
ice cream cake.
[both laughing]
Oh man, this house
is so amazing.
You didn't have to do all this.
- I know, but I wanted to.
- Ever the showman.
- I told you I had a
few surprises planned.
- Paul.
- Happy birthday.
- It's not my birthday.
[laughs]
Holy sh*t.
No way.
- I know, right?
- Ah, where did you find this?
- I was cleaning
out the closet,
and I found it tucked away
in the back in a shoebox
along with every letter
you ever wrote me.
- Oh, that's so sweet.
[giggles]
- My hoarder self was
thanking me when I saw it.
- God.
I want to listen to this.
- I know, me too.
- There's no tracks listed.
- Well, you know there's
The Cure on there.
- Dismiss.
- Van Halen.
- How do we listen to this?
- Well, we could build a time
machine, take it back to 1989,
and use the tape
deck in your Nova.
- What do you think
the first track is?
- Definitely "The Boss."
[splashes]
[both laughing]
- That is one of my favorites.
- I know.
- It's not the
first one, though.
You don't lead with that song.
You finish with that song.
- Definitely.
What do you want to do tonight?
- I don't know.
Maybe just stay in
and look at the stars.
- That's a great answer.
Let the record show the
lady has opted to stay in.
- [laughs]
[sighs]
God, this is so nice.
The ocean air and stars.
- One thing I
think we should do
is have sex in every
room in this house.
- How many rooms are there?
- 10, I think.
- Dream on, loverboy.
- I know it's
ambitious, but we should
at least challenge ourselves.
Let's never forget this moment.
- How could I?
[electronic music]
Feeling lost around
Feeling lost
Feeling lost in time
You step into my life
Something's shimmering
- Okay, here it is.
You talkin' to me?
[both laugh]
- So bad.
- Oh, 'cause I
can't do New York.
- It's bad.
- What if he's, like, Scottish?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Right, like, (SCOTTISH
ACCENT) Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
- I love it.
- Are you talking to me?
- Okay, give me, um,
give me Spanish.
- [speaking spanish]
- Okay.
- [speaking spanish]
- [laughs]
Okay, wait.
Okay, give me Chinese.
- You know I speak Chinese,
- Okay.
- I do.
[speaking chinese]
- Do it again.
- [speaking chinese]
- [laughs]
- No question mark.
[speaking chinese]
- That's amazing.
- That's how-- will you--
will you do something for me?
- What?
- Will you speak French?
- [speaking french]
- That's real.
That's cute. Yeah, yeah.
- [speaking french]
- You said poof.
- No.
[speaking french]
- I'm glad we're here.
- Me too.
I really needed this.
What time is it?
- Judging by the placement
of the moon, I don't know.
- I think I'm going to go call.
- Okay, me too.
You want to stay
here and I'll--
I'll go in the house?
- Sure. Okay.
[phone ringing]
Hi, baby.
I'm good.
Oh, Mommy can't
FaceTime right now.
Yeah, I miss you too.
Is Daddy there?
Can you get him for me?
Okay, my sweet.
I love you so much.
Hi.
How's it going?
- I got here about 6:00.
What do you mean?
I did say 6:00.
No.
When was the last time you
had dinner on a flight?
I just had some
pretzels and peanuts.
You know, normal, plain stuff.
I just have a few meetings
with Lee tomorrow,
and then, I don't
know, that's it.
I actually don't know anyone
that's here for the conference.
It's mostly sales.
I don't know.
I think they're doing food for
us at the hotel or something.
You're really concerned
with what I'm eating.
Yes, I'm eating.
Jesus.
- Aw, that sounds cute.
I'm sorry I missed it.
Will you send me a pic?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Um, mostly just meetings.
Yeah.
Jake wants us to go visit
the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
I mean, I don't want to go.
I don't know what
he's thinking.
I'm just going to stay
in, order room service,
read books, just chill.
Yeah, okay.
Sounds good.
We'll talk soon.
Bye.
[pensive music]
- Of course it's my
fault. Yeah, no, it is.
It's 100% my fault. I'll
say that on Wednesday.
How about that?
On Wednesday, not Monday.
Can't do it on Monday.
I'm not going to
be back Monday, so
make it on Wednesday.
I told you that on Thursday.
No, if I was being
pedantic,
I'd tell you the days
of the week.
Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, Fri--
I don't know.
You bring out the
best in me, hon.
I'm not being condescending.
I'm just saying if this is
a scheduling conversation,
I don't have time
for this sh*t.
We're paying the guy.
I'm paying the guy.
Just make it later in the week.
[stammering] Write
him an email.
Okay, I'll write him an email.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll write him the email.
I'll CC you on it.
[brushing teeth]
[Paul sighs]
- Good night.
- Night.
[trance music]
[sighs]
Good morning.
- Hi, babe.
- I made you some coffee.
- Oh, you're the best.
- Did you sleep good?
- Yeah.
I had some trippy
dreams, though.
I was singing nursery rhymes
with Bruce Springsteen,
and there was a
classroom full of tigers.
- Wow. That's a lot to unpack.
- Mmm.
This is so good.
- It's so good, right?
I took some oat milk
and I boil it first,
and then I use
this, like, frother.
And I put it in and I stir the
whole thing so it, like, gets
the oxygen--
- Is that bacon?
- Yes, there's bacon too.
[both laugh]
[electronic music]
[phone ringing]
- No, no, no, no.
- Oh, sh*t.
I have to. I have to. I have to.
- Come on, come on.
[phone ringing]
- Hello?
Hi.
Hi, no, no, I was just
on my way to the lobby.
- [whispering] Please don't go.
- [mouthing]
Oh, what?
She's not feeling well?
Oh. Okay.
Well, just put
her on the phone.
I'll try to cheer her up.
[upbeat music]
- Okay, I got some whiskey
and the vodka I bought.
There's also some beers
in the fridge too.
- Anything to mix with?
- Some grapefruit
seltzer stuff.
- Oh, yeah, I'll
do that with vodka.
- Going hard first thing.
That's my girl.
- That's right.
Put some lotion on my back?
- Gladly.
[upbeat music]
- Uh, there's a naked
man in our backyard.
- What the f*ck?
- Whoever gets to play with
that on a regular basis
is a very lucky.
[splashes]
- What should we do?
- We should talk to him.
- Are you crazy?
Why?
- There's a man in our pool.
- [scoffs] I don't want
to deal with anyone.
I just want it to be us.
- Well, I don't know
if you've noticed,
but there's a third party here
now that we're going to have
to speak to at some point.
- Let's just go somewhere.
We'll go to the beach,
have some lunch, antiquing.
- Paul, don't be
ridiculous, okay?
There is a man in our pool.
Let's just go talk to him
and see what's going on.
If he seems like a weirdo,
we'll ask him to leave.
- Okay, fine.
I'll go talk to him.
You stay here.
Stay.
- Hi.
- Oh my God.
You scared me to death.
- What's up, man?
We're staying here.
They double book the place?
- No, no.
I live next door.
Our pool has been
broken for about
a month or so, so
we've been coming
over to use Sam and Tommy's.
I'm Greg, by the way.
- I'm Leah.
This is my--
- Husband.
- Husband, Paul.
- Sorry for being so
naked in your pool.
I promise I'm not peeing.
- It's fine.
- Yeah, so I'm just going
to get out of your hair.
- Appreciate it.
Thank you.
- No, no.
Dude, you know what?
Greg, you stay.
You stay. Enjoy your swim.
You already brought
your own floatie.
We were headed out anyway.
So it's--
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, totally.
All right.
Later, brother.
- See you.
- Why didn't you let
me ask him to leave?
- Because I told
you I'd handle it.
That was so weird.
- Are you mad?
- I'm not mad mad.
I just didn't like
the situation.
I didn't think I'd see
a giant horse c*ck.
- Wow.
I just wanted to see
what was going on.
I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
I just-- you know, I just want
it to be you and I this weekend.
That's all I care about.
- What?
A beautiful, naked stranger
ruining our pool date
wasn't your idea of perfection?
I was kind of into it.
- I'm sure you were.
- As long as you're not mad.
- I'm not mad.
What about this guy?
- Mm, maybe a banker?
- A banker?
- Yeah.
I mean, I kind of think any
guy with a handlebar mustache
looks like Mr. Monopoly.
- That guy does not
look like Mr. Monopoly.
- What do you mean?
He totally does.
Just imagine him
with a top hat.
Mr. Monopoly.
- Okay, maybe if he had a
top hat on, I could see it,
but you are way off here.
- No, that dude
is Mr. Monopoly.
- No.
- [laughs]
Okay.
What do you think
their story is?
[both laughing]
- Come here.
There you go.
- They're just
straight up in love.
It could be us one day.
- Excuse me.
- I guess it's true
they go in pairs.
[both laugh]
- That's right.
You guys look like
a great couple.
What's the secret?
- Lots of booze.
- I'm on the right track, then.
Good to know.
- Lisa's actually
my third wife.
- Wow, that's a lot of wives.
- Maybe.
- But you found the right one.
- I don't know.
I guess we're always
chasing the first love, huh?
- Yeah, I know the feeling.
- How did you two meet?
- High school sweetheart.
- Oh, good for you.
- It's not what it
looks like, though.
- Well, how so?
- Well, I'm married,
and so is she.
We've been having this
affair for years now.
We meet in different
cities, tell our spouses
we're going on business
trips or something,
and then spend a few
magic days together.
It's crazy, but when
I'm with my wife,
the only thing I
can think about
is the next time I'm
going to see Leah.
But this weekend, this
is the last weekend.
This is the last weekend
I'm ever gonna see her.
Kind of promised each other
this would be the last time.
Got any advice?
- Yeah.
Don't let her get away.
- I mean, this place
definitely is not going
to have any tape players.
- No, but they got
everything else.
- Mm-hmm.
- You know, maybe the
universe doesn't
want us to hear the tape.
- The universe always
needs more Depeche Mode.
- Oh, that's
definitely on there.
- Not side one, though.
- No, no, Depeche Mode is more
of a middle side two band.
You were so goth
in high school.
- [laughs]
Oh my God.
Wow.
I can't believe
that's a Bella Reid.
I've always wanted
one of these.
- It's a bit haunting,
don't you think?
- Why?
- He's all alone.
It's sad.
- No.
No, he's not alone.
He's strong.
He's confident.
He knows the direction
he's going into.
- Let's get it.
- Yeah, sure.
Let's get it.
- I'm serious.
I want to buy it for you.
- Paul, you can't
buy this for me.
- Of course I can.
- Paul, what are
you talking about?
I can't show up
after a business
weekend trip with a
Bella Reid under my arm.
- No, I-I want to
get it for you.
- Paul, you're being crazy.
Are you being serious?
- It's your birthday.
You deserve something nice.
- You scared me.
- I got you.
- You did.
- Yeah, I'm not buying that.
[acoustic music]
Welcome home.
- Oh, oh, I wish.
- [speaking spanish]
- [speaking spanish]
- Nice.
- All right.
Are you going to at least tell
me where we're going to dinner?
- No, let it be a surprise.
I have lots of surprises.
Can't it just be a surprise?
Are you tired?
- Oh my God, I'm beat.
[sighs]
- How about some of this?
- Oh, no, no.
No, no no, not the feet.
I have a thing about my feet.
- Yo, I'm fine with that.
I, I hate feet.
I mean, feet are weird.
Who wants feet when
you got all that?
How about some shoulder action?
- Yes.
Ah.
[groans]
Oh, that's so good.
So is that.
Are you trying to
seduce me, Mr. Robinson?
[phone ringing]
- Do you want me to seduce you?
- Yes, please.
[phone ringing]
- God, it's like he
knows or something.
- Don't even joke about that.
- Please don't get it.
- Paul, I have to.
Hello?
Hi.
No, no, I'm just
going to dinner.
How's Lily doing?
[door opens, closes]
[gentle music]
The stomach flu?
[taps]
Well, I'm glad
it's not serious.
[Leah talking indistinctly]
[knocks]
Is she still up?
Can I speak to her?
[knocks]
Hi, baby.
Yeah, I know.
The medicine will make you
feel better, I promise.
Yeah.
It's not fun to throw up.
Aw, I wish I was there too,
honey, but I'll be home soon.
Yeah.
I'll read you the whole
book as soon as I get back.
Okay, Mommy has to go.
I love you so much.
Okay. Bye, baby.
[sighs]
Paul?
Sorry about that.
Paul?
Hey.
Is everything all right?
- Yeah. It just seemed like
something was wrong.
You can tell me if there is.
- No, Lily's just sick.
- Oh.
Is she okay?
- Yeah.
She was just asking
when I'd be home,
and I felt really
bad not being there.
- David's there, though.
- But I'm not there.
- But he can handle it, right?
- It's fine.
I'm just going to go take a
bath and get ready for dinner.
[gentle music]
- [Paul] Hey, I'm going to run
real quick to the liquor store.
Are you okay?
You need anything?
- No, I'm good, thanks.
- All right.
We should leave in about an
hour to make our reservation.
- Okay, I'll be ready.
- All right, back in a few.
[piano music]
- [sighs]
[upbeat music]
- Okay.
Anything else, dude?
- No, all set.
- All right, you got it.
It's $22.75.
- Actually, hold up.
How much for that boombox?
- Oh, yeah, that's
not for sale, bro.
- What if I told you
my life depended on it?
- How's an old school rig like
that going to save your life?
- What's your name, bro?
- Randy, my friends
call me Piggy.
- Piggy, have you
ever been in love?
Like, really in love.
- Hells yeah.
Cody Lacy, eighth grade.
She smelled like banana.
- Right. Okay, well, I'm
spending the weekend
right now with my Cody Lacy.
And if I could play our tape,
our mixtape, on that boombox,
I think I can get her to
fall back in love with me.
Come on, bro, help me out.
I'm back.
You almost done, babe?
We kind of got to get going.
This is a very fancy
restaurant, you know.
- Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just can you give me
a few more minutes?
[pensive music]
Paul.
I'm ready.
- Jesus Christ.
You look incredible.
I'm sorry.
- For what?
- I don't know.
I just felt like saying it.
- You shouldn't apologize.
I'm sorry for making us late.
- Actually, you're
right on time.
- Good evening, Leah.
I'm Chef Marino, and I
have prepared a delicious
menu for you tonight.
So if you'll have a seat,
I will start your meal.
- Wow.
- It's pretty good.
- Paul, this is too much.
It's crazy.
- You make me a little crazy.
What if it was
always like this?
- Mm.
Yeah, I like
the sound of that.
- Yeah, like this is
just our Malibu pad.
- Oh, yeah. Of course.
And then we have our
house in Palm Springs
and our ranch in Montana.
- Don't forget about the
brownstone in New York.
- Oh, of course, darling.
Yes, the brownstone
in New York.
Oh, we've got to get there.
- We could go tomorrow.
- Oh, sure, baby, let's go.
- Yeah, I'll just
get the jet fired up.
- [laughs]
- Wait right here.
I have one more surprise.
- No. No more surprises.
- This is the best one yet.
- [sighs]
[gasps]
No way.
- Yup.
- I mean.
[boombox clicks]
[DEBBIE GIBSON, "ONLY IN MY
DREAMS"]
- I never would have
guessed this one.
- Oh, yes.
I love this song.
Every time I'm
telling secrets
I remember how it used to be
And I realize how
much I miss you
And realize how it
feels to be free
Now I see I'm up to no good
No, no, no
And I wanna start again
Baby, let's go dancing.
- We are dancing.
- No, no, no.
Like let's go dancing.
[upbeat music]
- May I?
- Oh.
- Want anything to drink, babe?
- Sure. Whatever you're having.
- Anything for you, bud?
- Hey, babe, what do you need?
- Two up, two back.
- Sir?
It's $28.
[upbeat music]
- Woo!
[laughs]
[applause]
- [band member] Thank you
very much, y'all.
Grab you something to drink.
- Thanks, babe.
- Get all that dancing
out of your system?
- Well, it depends
on my partner here.
- Ah, Joel.
- Joel.
- Joel, this is Paul.
Babe, Joel lives
in Topanga Canyon.
He's got tons of horses.
- You know, you're lucky.
I don't usually let
people just come up
and grab my girl like that
when I'm dancing with her.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Lucky me, then.
- Maybe.
I'm still trying to decide
if I'm going to punch
you in the f*cking face.
- Okay, thank you so
much for the dance.
We're going to get going now.
- You sure?
Usually it just starts to
be fun around here now.
- What don't you understand
about she said she's leaving?
- What's your problem, man?
- You're my problem.
She said she is leaving,
and you're still
yapping your f*cking lips.
- Paul.
- Best dance
partner I ever had.
- f*ck this.
- We had a lot
to drink tonight.
I am really sorry.
- You better go after your boy.
- I'm sorry.
I still don't understand
why you did that.
- Well, I was trying
to protect you.
- Protect me from what?
Some guy who loves dancing?
You were not trying
to protect me.
You were thinking of
your own f*cking ego.
- That guy was trying to
treat you like some kind
of property or something.
That was okay?
You just didn't want
me to do anything?
- What is wrong with you?
Why are you even
acting this way?
- I'm not acting like anything.
Apparently, I have to
explain myself to you,
because if you can't see
what I was doing, then
you don't f*cking
get it at all.
Any of this.
- Starting a fistfight
with some random guy
in a bar like a teenager?
Yeah, you're right,
I don't get it.
- You know, I just
wanted this to be
the perfect f*cking weekend.
- I don't like this
side of you at all.
It really scares me.
- I don't even know why
we decided to do this.
- Oh, come on, don't do that.
- Seriously. Wh-wh-
why did we decide this?
I'm leaving Carrie.
- What?
- Carrie and I are
getting a divorce,
and I want you to leave David.
- Paul.
- I know we decided
that this would
be the last time and
everything, but I don't care.
I don't want this
to be the last time,
because we're great together.
- What are you even
saying right now?
- I'm moving to Chicago.
- What?
- I'm buying a
house on the lake,
and I'm going there
when we leave here.
I want you to
come live with me.
You'll still be close to
your daughter in St. Charles.
It's like 40 minutes away.
- What the f*ck
is wrong with you?
Do you even know what
you're saying right now?
- Yes, I'm telling you
that I love you, Leah.
I'm telling you that I want
to commit to our future.
- You need to stop.
You need to stop saying that.
- Do you know what it feels
like when I'm at home?
When I'm with Carrie in my own
house, or when I'm with you
and she calls?
Do you know it feels
like I'm cheating on you?
- Damn it, Paul, please stop.
- What else do I
have to do to show
you that I f*cking love you?
I don't-- I don't want
this to be the end.
- Paul, you know
it's complicated.
I have a little girl.
I have my family.
[glass shatters]
- And you've been
f*cking me for years
behind everyone's back.
That's how you
treat your family?
- f*ck you.
And this is not my fault.
- Okay.
Leah, will you come back up
here and talk to me, please?
- Damn it.
Where are my keys?
- What are you doing?
- I am leaving.
- What?
- I cannot even look
at you right now.
- Leah.
Leah!
Where are you gonna go?
[car beeps]
Where are you going?
Leah, come back inside, please.
[engine cranks]
Where are you gonna go?
You're gonna go back to David?
Then go back to David.
Leah!
[suspenseful music]
- [gasping]
[suspenseful music]
- [groans]
[panting]
What are you doing?
Why would you do what you do?
- All right, I've got you on
the third floor all the way
at the end of the hall,
so everything should
be nice and quiet for you.
- Okay.
- For tonight, we're
looking at $476.45.
We just need a credit
card for the incidentals.
- That's just for one night?
- Malibu.
- All right.
Okay.
Ah, there you go.
Um, you know what?
I think that this card
has expired, actually.
Yeah.
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you take cash?
- Absolutely, but we
still need a card on file.
- Okay.
You know what?
I think I'm good.
I don't really need a room
after all, but thanks.
Thanks.
- We have an ATM down
the hall if you need it.
[dog barking]
- f*ck!
What the f*ck are
you looking at?
What are you
staring at, f*ck?
Coming with me.
I gotta talk to you.
[somber music]
[phone ringing]
[somber music]
[coughs]
[somber music]
Leah?
Leah.
[retches]
[somber music]
- [sniffles]
[sniffles]
[panting]
[sniffles]
- [Paul on voicemail]
Leah, hey .
I just need to know you're okay.
Please come back to the--
[phone beeps]
- [panting]
f*ck!
[cries]
This is Leah.
Please leave me
your name and number
and I'll get back to you,
or you can send me a text.
Bye.
[somber music]
- [sighs]
- Can you at least
call me back, please?
I'm worried about you.
Just call me back.
I-- I know I f*cked up.
I know I did.
So, just know that I
know that I f*cked up.
I was an as*h*le,
and I shouldn't
have put my stuff on you.
[somber music]
- It's a lovely
painting, isn't it?
- Yeah.
I love it so much.
- The previous owners
were married for 50 years.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
He was a Marine in
the Second World w*r,
and he was injured in battle.
And his nurse who
was assigned to him,
they looked at each other.
It was love at first sight.
They lost track of each
other after the w*r,
and he searched for
her for 10 years.
And in that time,
he became a doctor.
And guess what?
- What?
- She was in New York City.
She stepped off the curb
and was hit by a taxi.
And they took her
to the hospital
where he was the doctor.
I know.
And he saved her life.
- Oh my God, that's incredible.
- They were meant to be.
[splashing]
- [panting]
- Oh, no.
- We tried waiting it out, but
it is just too f*cking hot.
- I'm shvitzing.
- So we came over.
Did we catch you at a bad time?
- No.
- Where is your lovely wife?
- She's actually
out running errands.
I just decided to stay here
and do some laps and stuff.
- Well, maybe we can join you.
I promise to keep my suit on.
- No, no. It's cool.
I gotta go, uh, do some stuff.
And, you know, you guys
should stay here, though.
It's so hot.
Just seriously, enjoy the pool.
- Look, we've already
interrupted you twice.
Let us buy you dinner.
How's 7:30?
- I know the greatest
place in town.
It is, like, write a
letter to your mama good.
- Okay, listen, when Leah
gets back, I'll talk to her.
And if she's cool with
it, that'll be fun.
- Great. It's a double date.
[phone ringing]
- I gotta get this, guys.
[phone ringing]
Where are you?
Yeah.
Of course.
[somber music]
- Hi.
- Hi.
Jeremy and Greg from next
door made dinner reservations
for tonight.
We don't have to go
if you don't want to.
- Really?
- They're actually really
sweet and hilarious.
- Yeah, I think we should go.
It could be fun, and we need
some fun, and I need a shower.
So what time do we
need to be ready?
- 7:00.
- Okay.
[upbeat music]
- You look incredible.
Is that new?
- Retail therapy.
- Well, it looks great on you.
Actually, you made
that dress look great.
This is the one you wore the
night we got back together.
- Yeah.
You didn't say
anything last night.
I didn't know if
you remembered.
You know, David gave me that
dress on my 35th birthday.
I don't know if I
ever told you that.
I wore it that night because
I wanted to impress you.
I knew I looked good
in it, and you wouldn't
be able to say no to me.
I remember we ate dinner at
that weird Roman restaurant,
and then we went
across the street
to that cute little hotel,
and we made love for hours.
And I remember afterwards,
I was laying on my side
and you were behind me.
Your body was so warm.
Everything was perfect.
And all I could think
about was that dress
bunched up on the
floor, and I knew
it was going to get wrinkled.
And if I put it on and
I went home like that,
David would know
something would happen.
But when I got home, he
didn't notice a thing.
Just asked me how dinner was.
I told them it was
a dinner for work.
I lied to him, and
it wasn't hard.
The worst part
was that I knew I
would do it again,
because I wouldn't
be able to say no to you.
And later, we went upstairs and
he tried to take off my dress,
but I didn't let him.
I told him I was too tired.
I think I brought
that dress with me
this weekend as a monument
to us, to all this.
But I just feel so
sad about everything,
and I just don't want to
feel this way anymore.
- Just know that I love
you more than anything.
- I know you do.
I love you too.
- So you guys have been asking
us questions all night long.
Like, what about you guys?
- Yeah, how'd you guys meet?
- We actually went to
high school together.
- Oh, high school sweethearts.
- That's right.
I was a total nerd, and
she was the popular girl.
- Really?
I always thought I
was pretty regular.
- What are you talking about?
You were totally popular and
completely out of my league.
- Still is.
[laughs]
- No way.
Okay, he was the sexy senior,
and I was the little freshman.
But I knew that I
liked him right away.
It was kind of a secret crush.
And we used to
meet after school,
and he'd help me
with my homework,
because he was super smart.
Except I don't remember
doing that much studying.
I feel like we mostly just
laughed and talked like crazy.
- I think I got you
a C in that class.
- Yeah.
And one day, he came over and
he kissed me in my bedroom,
and that was it.
I was done.
- But her parents
were super strict,
and she wasn't
allowed to date, so we
had to keep our relationship
secret for a long time.
- Mm-hmm.
- Ooh, a secret relationship.
Shh.
Tell me more.
Uh, guys.
- We're waiting. Come on.
- Mm, um...
then we went to UC
Davis, and we lived
together from then and there.
- Then we got married.
- Aw, was it like a big wedding
or like a small little thing
at the courthouse?
- It was huge.
We had, like, what,
250 guests, hon?
- I think it was more like 400.
- Wait, 400 people?
- Wow, wow.
Like in a church or
like on the beach?
- Actually, it was
at our friend's
beach house in Portugal.
- Ah.
- Overlooking the
ocean at sunset.
It was absolutely breathtaking.
She looked so gorgeous.
I've never seen
anything as beautiful
as her in my entire life.
I always knew she was the one.
- Me too.
I wouldn't change a thing.
- Here's to true love.
- [all] True love. [laughs]
- I have to ask, why
did we go to UC Davis
in your fantasy life for us?
- I don't know.
It was like the first thing
that popped into my head.
- But neither of
us even went there.
- Yeah, but I applied
there, remember?
It was between Arizona
State and UC Davis.
- That's right.
I forgot about that.
I wonder what
would have happened
if you didn't go to Arizona.
Think we would have
gotten married?
- [laughs] I don't know.
Maybe.
Do you think we would have
had such a huge wedding?
- No.
Would have been small.
Probably would have
eloped in Vegas.
- [laughs]
Do you ever think
about if we never met?
- It sounds stupid, but I feel
like we would have met somehow.
Even if we didn't have
high school together,
even if you lived
in Portugal or Peru,
we would have found each
other no matter what.
It's not because of
you, the divorce.
I know I wasn't being
fair when I said all
those things I said to you.
I just felt like I
had to do something.
I, couldn't let you go so easy.
- Are you really going
through with it, though?
- Yeah.
I don't even know what
any of this means anymore.
You were right.
That's what we both
agreed on doing.
It wasn't because of you.
- I just hate this feeling.
I hate this.
- Me too.
Are you tired?
- No.
[COWBOY JUNKIES, "MISGUIDED
ANGEL"]
- Oh, wow, this song.
- Oh, I was so emo.
[laughs]
I say that we never
listen to the last song.
- Really?
- Yeah.
That way, you know,
if we don't hear it,
it can be just a little
piece of wonder
that we can take
with us forever.
- Yeah.
I like that.
- I love you, Paul.
- I love you.
And I'll see you in
some of his ways
Though he might not give
me the life that you wanted
I'll love him the
rest of my days
Misguided angel
hanging over me
Heart like a Gabriel,
pure and white as ivory
Soul like a Lucifer
Black and cold like
a piece of lead
Misguided angel,
love you til I'm dead
I said, brother, you
speak to me of passion
And you said never to
settle for nothing less
Well, it's in the
way he walks
It's in the way he talks
His smile, his
anger, and his kisses
I said, sister,
don't you understand
He's all I ever
wanted in a man
And I'm tired of sitting
around the TV every night
Hoping I'm finding
a Mr. Right
[splashing]
[sighs]
Your coffee.
I went down to that little
spot in Cross Creek.
- Mm-hmm.
Yummy.
- They had a good
breakfast spread
there too if you want to go
down and get some breakfast.
- Omelet bar?
- You love an omelet bar.
- I really, really, really do.
- I did see a guy slicing
some kind of meat,
but I'm not sure what it was.
- Mm.
Fancy.
[somber music]
- [Paul] Let's do a
double check.
- [Leah] Yeah, all
good on my end.
- Did you leave anything
in the backyard?
- Oh, no, I picked
up the towels
and I put them in
the washing machine.
- Ah.
Okay, great.
I think we're good.
- Yeah.
- I still don't get why you're
taking an earlier flight.
- Because I promised Lily that
I'd be home before dinner.
- Oh, I get it.
It's just an extra three hours
with you would have been
nice, though.
- Just hug me, Paul.
[car beeps]
[car trunk opens, closes]
[car door opens]
[somber music]
[knocking]
- Leah.
- Hey.
I have a delivery
for Paul Mallory.
- Yeah, that, that's me.
- I just need you to
sign there, please.
Have a good day.
- Thanks, man.
- [Leah] Hey, babe.
I hope you like these songs.
I picked them all because
they're special to me
and you're special to
me, and I just wanted
to tell you that I love you.
I'm excited to see you
at school tomorrow.
I love you, and I will always
love you no matter what.
And now for our final song.
[ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE
DARK, "THAT WAS THEN"]
I would lie awake and
cry at night
That was then
This is now
I had an anger that
was strong enough
And I would face the
things I run from now
And everything we
did was wonderful
Now it's practical,
and I don't know how
All the moves we made
were done for love
Now it's not enough,
it seems somehow
And all the feelings
that I knew would last
Well, they are gone
Where are they now
And you are beautiful
and dangerous
And now you've sacrificed
some sacred cow
And I would listen to
the things you said
They all made sense,
why don't they now
Oh, not a penny in
our pockets then
We never worried
So why do we now
Standing tall
against my destiny
Oh, I had visions
and I could see
I would walk a
thousand miles for you
But that was then
That was then
This is now
This is now
Look at me now
This is now
Over decades
things changing me
I have no energy
Where am I now
Too many people
seem in need of me
When I was younger,
I felt so free
Can you see the
things I care about
They're not important now
Time's run out
And only memories
are left with me
This shallow history
becomes my destiny
I would lie awake
and cry at night
That was then
This is now
Oh, this is now
[boombox stops]
I wake up and
you're still sleeping
I barely remember last night
And we weren't even drinking
I just forgot
I was so lost in your eyes
I can't believe
that you're mine
I'll take the risk this time
These walls
surround my heart
You can tear them all down
Every inch and mile
Woo
You can take my breath
You can take my breath away
You can take it all
Some moments I'm anxious
Am I giving too much
Then you wake up and kiss me
My insecurities dissolve
'Cause normally I'd be
so scared of falling
But something here
makes me fearless
Going all in
These walls
surround my heart
Want to tear them all down
Can you teach me how
Woo
You can take my breath
You can take my breath away
You can take it
all, all, all
