Okay, yeah.
Well, hey, whatever it is,

is that
we've received

Our students scored far below
the state average in English,
Math and Science.
Oh, I see.
PRINCIPAL: However, our most
important issue now is time.
We only have three months
to get them back on track.
Therefore, we need to cut
all nonessential
or unimportant classes.
And you don't see art
as important or essential?
PRINCIPAL:
That's not what we're saying.
KAI: That's exactly
what she just said. [CHUCKLES]

Art is not a tested subject,

Now, this will, of course,
make you confront your demons,

But you will feel extreme joy.

what were you looking for

I don't know.
I've just been thinking,

Is it pearly gates,
eternal flames, Devil and
damnation and all that?
Or is it just, nothing?
It sounds like you're dealing
with something
everyone does
at a certain point in life.
Questioning their immortality.
It's a complicated question.
Yeah, it is complicated.
When my dad passed,
it's like, he was just there
one second and then,
gone.
But he was agnostic,
so, you know,
where did he go?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Where will I go?
- Hm.
What happens when it all ends?
I was asking myself
the same questions
when my son and wife
were in a horrible accident
and passed away.
You were married?
Yeah, a lifetime ago.
I thought priests
weren't allowed to get married.
It's Catholics.
We're Episcopalians here.
[CHUCKLES] Sorry, I didn't know
the difference.
See, when my family died,
my life just spiraled
out of control.
I drank too much.
I was doing drugs.
Basically, I was trying to,
to k*ll myself to dull the pain.
And I was nearly successful.
And that's, that's when
I found the church,
and I found
this peace inside of me.
But I still had
all those questions.
You see,
my wife wasn't religious,
and my son was innocent.
So, what happened?
Wher- where do you think
they went?
I, thought I was asking
the questions here. [CHUCKLES]
Now, the Apostle Paul wrote
that at the end of the day,
there's only three things
that remain.
Faith, hope, and love.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYS]
Now, faith is trusting
that God will make
the best decisions
for my loved ones and myself.
And hope,
I hope God has mercy
on my family.
But then Paul went on to write,
"The greatest of these is love."
Okay, so what does that mean?
Well, when you die,
you don't need faith
because you're dead.
[CHUCKLES]
And it's too late for hope.
But love remains.
But what is love?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
- I wish I knew.
- Hm.
See, John says... "God is love."
And I believe, when we die,
we become the epitome of love.
Surrounded by love,
we become love.
And I believe that heaven
is that feeling
of being enveloped in love,
in God's love.
And that's something
I can believe in.
Does sound nice.
So, did I help you?
Yeah, a lil' bit.
Okay.
Uh, I'll keep you in my prayers,
if that's okay.
Yeah. Yeah, I'd appreciate that.
Now, look, the best advice
I can give you
is have no regrets.
Tell the people you love
that you love them.
Do the things
you've been putting off.
Try to be the best man
you can be.
But, hey, make a right instead
of a left once in a while.
Don't be afraid to take risks.
Help as many people as you can
and hurt as few as possible.
Thanks, Father.
- Don't be a stranger.
- Okay.
- Next time, wear pants. Okay?
- Yeah.

- Eat a steak.
- Yeah.
- Have a damn dessert or two.
- I got it, I got it, I got it..
I just want to make sure
that I'm, I'm all right.
Kai, everything looks great.
Everything sounds great.
I don't see
any issues physically.
Now, I can give you something
to help the anti-depressants
take effect.
- No, I don't want any more meds
- Then stop stressing.
[CHUCKLES] You're a good-
looking guy. You're healthy.
Live your life. Go get laid.
I mean, it can't be hard
for a good-looking guy like you.
Eh, you'd be surprised.
[CHUCKLES]
But you don't see anything
that's life threatening?
Not at all.
You are a perfectly normal
30-year-old man.
So I'm not going to die?
I mean, we all got to go
sometimes, but, no.
Doesn't look like today for you,
young man.
Cool.
Thanks, Doc.
No problem.
Mia'll be in here
to check you out soon.
- Go ahead and get dressed.
- Okay.
And, Kai,
you are going to be okay,
whatever you're going through.
Trust me. I'm a doctor.
Hold on.
- Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
- No, no, it's fine. It's fine.
- It's, uh--
- I thought you said, "Come on."
KAI:
No, no, no. That, that's, uh...
It's totally fine. I had to, uh,
model in art school,
and you lose
all sense of modesty there.
You can turn around.
[KAI SIGHS]
Oh, sh*t.
- You're Mia?
- [CLICKS TONGUE]
And you're the as*h*le.
Yeah. Uh,
I am, I am really,
really sorry about that.
I was, I was having
a weird night last night.
I, I was confused
and distracted.
Oh, no, it's fine.
I just thought a nice guy
was going to help me,
and he ended up
throwing my shoe at me.
[SUCKS TEETH]
It's what I've come to expect.
Again, really sorry about that.
I'd been drinking...
- Yeah, obviously.
- I was really messed up
in the head, and I, I didn't
know what to do.
I get it. You don't even
need to explain.
Don't know that
I could if I tried.
So, um, looks like the doctor
wants you back in three months.
- I could set that up for you.
- That won't be necessary.
You sure?
Usually people forget,
and then we never
see them again. So... [LAUGHS]
Yeah, I, I don't know
if I'll have insurance then.
Oh. Um, well,
this has been awkward.
Pretty much, like,
one of the most awkward moments
of my entire life. So...
[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY] Okay, well,
I will see you around.
KAI: Okay.
Hey, wait, wait,
wait, wait. Um,
what if I make up
for last night and, uh,
buy you a coffee some time?
Well, um, you're actually
our last patient today.
We get off early on Fridays.
If you can wait,
like, I don't know, 15 minutes,
we could do it now.
Great. Uh, I'll, I'll be
the as*h*le
waiting in the lobby.
I will remember.
- Okay.
- Okay, great.
Don't forget your shoes.

Yeah, you can.
Hey, hey. Look at me.

We're going to breathe

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[SAD GUITAR MUSIC PLAYS]
I don't know what happened.
Um, I think
you had a panic attack.
I don't have panic attacks.
I think you do now.
And the depression,
anxiety, and just...
They come with panic attacks.
And you can pretend to be macho
all you want,
but I know you don't lose
your health insurance
for no reason.
You're going through
some sh*t right now.
Makes sense that your body
would react this way.
[SIGHS] I'm sorry.
For what? I've had them too.
They're so scary even when
you know what they are,
especially the first time.
Hopefully
that was the last time.
Thank you.
I'm a nurse.
That's what I do.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
It's okay, we can get coffee,
like, another time.
No, no, no, I've-- I'm, uh,
I'm feeling better.
Let's do it. I'm fine.
I mean, I will be fine,
but I think
it'd be nice to not, uh,
to not,
I think it'd be nice to--
BOTH: To have company.
Yeah, if I didn't scare you off.
No. No.
One of my exes went to jail
for biting a cop,
so I don't really scare easily.
- Okay. [SNICKERS]
- Yeah, it's a long story.
- Ready to go, as*h*le?
- Yeah.
You know I have another name
besides as*h*le, right?
Yeah, but...
it just kind of fits.
- For now.
- [CHUCKLES] Okay.
- Here you go.
- You know any
good coffee spots?
MIA: Have you ever heard
of a little place called
Dunkin' Donuts?
[GENTLE UKULELE MUSIC PLAYS]
[DUCKS QUACKING]
KAI: No. No, no, no, no.
We're not that bad.
[MIA LAUGHS]
No, no.
MIA: [SIGHS]
Isn't this such a nice view?
KAI: And the lake's not
bad either, I guess.
MIA: Ew. That's the worst line
I've ever heard.
[SIGHS] This is my Zen place.
This is where I come
to center myself
and to put myself
back together again.
It's really nice.
KAI: Is that what
you're trying to do here?
Trying to put me
back together again?
No, Humpty Dumpty.
[KAI CHUCKLES]
No. I've actually retired
from
putting broken men
back together
'cause I'm always the one
who ends up getting hurt.
And I'm not having sex with you,
by the way.
- Sorry, what?
- I read your file. [LAUGHS]
You read my medical file?
First of all,
I'm your nurse, so, yeah.
Second of all, I had to make
sure I wasn't going out
with a diagnosed psychopath,
so, yeah.
And he actually wrote it right,
right on there.
He said, "In dire need
of sexual intercourse."
[CHUCKLES] Guess he really
tells it exactly as it is.
He does.
[SIGHS]
That's intrusive. No?
All right, all right.
You're the doc.
[DUCKS QUACKING]
So, if you're not
interested in me...
why would you bring me
to such a romantic spot?
I don't really think of this
as a romantic spot.
I think of it as, like,
my peaceful place.
It kind of looked like
you needed that.
I definitely did. It's been
a rough week. [SNIFFLES]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Yeah, tell me about it.
- I bet mine was worse.
- Impossible.
- Yeah?
- Yeah, no way.
All right, give it a shot.
Go for it.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Um...
Okay, so, like,
three months ago,
I broke up with this guy...
Mm-hm.
'Cause he had
commitment issues.
- Ah.
- And then, yesterday,
I was online, and I saw
- his engagement announcement.
- Oh.
Which means that in the three
months since we broke up,
he's been able
to get over his issues,
meet someone, fall in love,
and propose to them.
[SIGHS] And the worst part
is that this b*tch
looks exactly like me.
[CHUCKLES]
Like, same hair color,
height, body type.
Like, she can
literally be my sister.
- Ouch.
- Yeah.
So, then, last night,
I was, like, you know what?
I'm gonna get dressed up.
I'm gonna go out.
I'm going to go hit the bar.
Maybe I'll get hit on, you know.
Maybe some guy
will make me feel pretty.
I don't know.
Or worthy of love,
like, at all.
And, yeah,
the first thing that happened
when I walked in the bar
was that my heel broke.
- Mm-hm.
- And then
this handsome guy
comes over, and I'm like...
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Handsome guy?
- Oh. Shut up, as*h*le.
- Let's talk more about that.
A very plain, boring,
unattractively mid-guy.
[LAUGHS]
He was a five.
He comes over
and I'm, like, "Okay.
Is this my knight
in shining armor?"
And then he picks up my shoe
and it looks like he's going
to help me. And then
he goes into this weird trance
and he ends up
throwing my shoe at me...
like an as*h*le.
I am sorry about that.
I said I was sorry.
Yeah. It's okay. I forgive you.
I'm still not
having sex with you, so...
Your turn.
[DUCKS QUACKING]
Okay.
[CUP THUDS]
At the beginning of the week,
I was a beloved art teacher
at a local elementary school.
And then yesterday,
right before,
I met you.[CHUCKLES]
- Mm-hm.
- Um,
I'd just been fired.
- Oh.
- Mm-hm.
Yikes! What do you have to do
to get fired
- from an elementary school?
- I just taught art.
You got fired for being
an art teacher? That's it?
That's all it takes these days.
How does that even happen?
Well, the kids hadn't met
their benchmark scores,
so they decided to take
the 50 minutes a week
that I saw them.
And force them
into their core classes.
So now they're punishing
the children?
- Right. Shouldn't do that.
- Unbelievable.
It's not the kids' fault.
So then,
I decide to go to the bar,
and I run into this...
[ICE CREAM CART CHIMING]
Sorry, I run into this, uh...
this guy who--
Do you hear that?
Yeah, my favorite song.
It's the ice cream cart,
look, it's over there.
I used to chase
that thing down
daily when I was little.
[CHIMING CONTINUES]

- Rod, I'm Kai. This is Mia.

- And, uh,
we want to buy ice cream
for everybody in the park today.
- Yeah, right.
- No, I'm serious.
You want to buy ice cream
for all the kids in the park?
- What are you doing?
- I'm having fun.
Okay, wait.
You want to buy
ice cream
for all the kids in the park.
Are you some
kind of perv or something?
No, I'm not some kind of perv.
And we want to buy ice cream
for everybody in the park,
- not just the kids.
- Okay. Is, is he for real?
- He seems to be.
- Okay.
- Uh.
- But there's, um,
just one condition.
Of course there is.
We get to serve it.
So, you want to buy
all of my ice cream
and then do my job for me?
- Yeah.
- Deal!
Get right behind that cart, man.
- Great.
- You're up.
[KAI CHUCKLES]
Are you insane?
[SIGHS] Not according
to my medical file.
- Okay.
- Okay. Hey, everybody!
Hey, guys. Come here. Come here.
Uh, can I have
everybody's attention?
Come here. Um,
so, who likes ice cream?
Ice cream?
KIDS:
Me! Me! I do.
You like ice cream?
Great. All right, well,
you're in luck today, because
today, we're going to buy
everybody in the park ice cream,
because sometimes you just need
free ice cream.
So, uh, just line up right here.
And, uh, remember, we're not
trying to sell you anything.
We're not trying to get you
to go to church.
We're not trying to get you

- Yeah, yeah, the sign language.
I didn't know you knew that.
Yeah, my mom was deaf,
so I learned it
as I learned to speak.

Okay. Uh, actually,
just bring us something good.
Don't worry about the price.

Are you ready to order?

- Um...
You know, I've actually
never been to a restaurant
like this before.
Um, what's your favorite thing
on the menu?
Uh, side salad
and a glass of water
is all I can afford
on my discount.
I see. That's why
there's no prices on the menu.
Yep. Owner's way
of avoiding sticker shock
until the bill comes.
- Oh, I see.
- Well, if you're not sure,
do you mind
if I just order for us?
No, please. You're paying.
Great. Uh, we'll have two
porterhouses, medium rare.
Uh, make mine medium,
please.
Okay. Medium
for the Neanderthal.
And do you still have those, um,
the bacon-wrapped
brussels sprouts?
Yeah. I hear they're great.
Great. Yeah,
an order of those.
WAITRESS: Good, I'll get that
right out to you.
So, have you been here before?
Come here often?
[BOTH LAUGH]
Once, uh, with my brother
and my dad for my 18th birthday.
Oh, that's nice.
That a long time ago?
- Twenty years ago?
- It was a long time ago.
Not that long ago.
It was a long time ago.
Uh, we won't talk about that.
But, actually, my brother...
he, he showed up high,
and, uh,
he ended up
making a scene,
so they asked us not
to come back.
Yikes.
Yeah. Not the best celebration.
I'm so sorry.
How's your brother now?
He's better.
Well, he says he's better,
but time will tell.
Well, um, [CLEARS THROAT]

I think you told me
what I want to hear.
Well, I think
I need a lot more
wine and a better chance
that we're gonna have breakfast
in the
morning to get into all that.
Oh, I see.
- Yeah.
- Well, you did pay
for ice cream.
You're paying for this dinner.
Maybe I could pick you up
in the morning
and we can do something
on my dime?
I don't know.
You did pay for coffee, so...
- Okay, fine, we don't have to..
- No no, no.
I'm joking, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Give me your phone.
Thank you.
Here's my address, [EXHALES]
and my phone number.
- Boom.
- Great. It's a date.
Oh, that's a date.
Sorry. One second.
Fancy restaurant,
wine, chips and salsa.
[LAUGHS]
I'm paying the bill.
I'm sorry, is this not a date?
I just think that there would
have to be more of a chance
of something
actually happening between
us for this to be a date.
Got it. Got it.
Sorry, I didn't understand that.
One second.
Excuse me! Garon?
Yeah, uh, we're going to do
separate checks.
- Split the bill.
- Shh!
He's kidding. I'm so sorry.
Please enjoy your meal.
Are you okay?
I think I've had too much wine.
[MIA LAUGHS]
- Yeah.
- That is a pretty big pour.
It's strong. It's, it's hefty.
[LAUGHS] Okay.
Okay, so, so how much
did it end up being?
Ooh, a gentleman never tells.
[CROW CAWING]
Is it 150?
$200?
300?
- It was 333, if you must know.
- Kai, that's too much.
What, you didn't like it?
It was the best meal
I've ever had, actually.
Okay, well, then
money well spent, huh?
Or charged.
You're going to max out
that card.
Yeah, but I can get
another one. It's--
MAN: Hands up!
[LAUGHING]
Did you say "hands up"?
Sorry, I-- Who says that?
MAN:
I said, "Hands up now," as*h*le!
- He said it again. I-
MIA: Kai!
- Can't take this guy seriously.
- Do what he says.
MAN:
Listen to your girlfriend.
KAI: Oh, she's not my
girlfriend. Right?
So, technically, I don't have
to do what she says.
- Kai, please.
- Are you crazy, dude?
Well, we've already
established-- Move. There.
Okay, go again. Huh?
Do it!
- No.
- No?
Come on.
You'd be doing me a favor.
Please pull the trigger.
- Do it!
- Get away
- from me, dude. You're crazy!
- Do it!
- Do it!
- You're crazy!
Bye. [LAUGHING]
That was craze-- That was crazy.
Did you see that?
- What the hell was that?
- What?
I knew he wasn't
going to do anything.
How?
Intuition.
- Intuition?
- Yeah.
You are crazy.
What? You still have your phone,
you have your keys,
he didn't take your car.
How about some gratitude, huh?
Yes, I'm super grateful
you didn't get us both k*lled.
Mia, the g*n was fake.
- How could you know that?
- I'm an artist.
I know when I see a shitty
paint job trying to cover up
the little orange barrel
of a toy g*n.
Why didn't you say anything?
You really think calling him out
over his Red Rider is gonna
make him leave us alone?
No, Look, right now,
you're just
dealing with the adrenaline.
You're gonna be totally fine
in a few minutes.
Please don't man-splain at me.
You almost got yourself
and me k*lled over phones
that can be replaced and
cards that could be canceled.
Yeah, but...
if he took your phone,
then how would you find me
for breakfast in the morning?

With no ties there

The gift of life

You didn't count on this

Did I wake you up?
Uh, no. Yeah, no. Uh...
Sorry, I just--
I didn't hear the door at first.
- Sorry.
- You look like sh*t.
Thanks. Didn't get
a lot of sleep last night.
Jeez. Who's your
interior decorator? [LAUGHS]
Uh, this is my dad's house,
but my interior decorating
is coming next week.
- Oh, good. Good.
- So, uh,
- this would be all, cooler.
- Just in time. [LAUGHS]
What are you doing here?
You forgot?
No. No, I didn't forget.
I just,
- I thought--
- You thought you were never
going to see me again?
Well, yeah. Pretty sure
of that after last night.
I, um, thought about it,
and everybody, you know,
handles,
um, getting mugged differently.
And you were right.
The, the real danger was me
getting to see you
get your a*s kicked.
I wouldn't get my a*s kicked.
I took two months of Taekwondo.
- [SCOFFS] Yeah, right, as*h*le.
- I'm a badass.
[LAUGHS]
But, uh, yeah, I owe a debt,
and I always pay my debts, so...
Great. Let's do it, then.
Just surprised you still want
to hang out with me.
Well, you know, like I said,
I don't scare easy.
Great.
But I'm not going to go
anywhere with you
until you've taken a shower.
Yeah, I should probably do that.
Yeah, that's probably
a good idea.
Oh, and, uh, dress comfy.
Not... this comfy.
Good shoes.
- Yes, ma'am.
- Do you own a toothbrush?
- I do.

[HAPPY RADIO MUSIC PLAYS]
Excuse me, sir.
What's, uh,
what's going on here?
BOY: Nothing much.
Just some a*s clowns came in
and vandalized the building
with some crappy street art.
-Hm.
-Wow.
BOY:
I know.
Yeah, uh,
do they know who did it?
Not yet. But these idiots
always get caught.
Can't help
but a brag about it, right?
- So true. Thank you.
- Let's keep it moving, guys.
Let's keep it moving.
You vandal!
Now I know why you had paint
all over your hands
when you answered the door
this morning.
Yeah, and I probably shouldn't
have done that.
I missed it. What did it say?
It said, "Art is Education."
Oh. Burn.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So clever. [SIGHS GLEEFULLY]
KAI: Just keep driving.
I'm pretty sure it's at
least a third-degree felony.
MIA: Are you sure
you don't want to go back
and get a selfie with it?
- I was gonna park.
- No, it's not funny.
It's not funny. I could get in

- Okay. Sorry.
[HAPPY RADIO MUSIC CONTINUES]
MIA: How can they even prove
it was you?
The cop, clueless.
You, not bragging about it.
And I'm not talking,
so
- what else do they have on you?
- Yeah, the security cameras
haven't been fixed since last
year, and they can't do it
due to funding,
so they've got probably nothing.
There you go.
You're in the clear.
[KAI SIGHS]
By the way, the paint I used,
only way it's coming off
is with a sand blaster.
- [SCOFFS] You badass.

So, how did you become

I would've thought
you'd be living
the big city artist's life.
Gallery openings,
[CHUCKLES]
painting shirtless
in a warehouse somewhere.
- Like, why are you here?
- I mean, I was on that path.
Yeah, actually,
I had a big show
at a gallery planned.
- Really?
- Yeah.
But, uh, it got canceled.
Why?
You ever heard the term
"starving artist"?
Yeah, I think I've heard
of that.
Yeah, maybe.
Um, it's a real thing.
- Hm.
- Yeah, so I made a choice.
Hm.
How'd you end up
being a nurse?
[CLICKS TONGUE]
I became a nurse
'cause I wanted to help people.
Right.
I actually did hospice care
for a while,
which was sad, and hit
a little too close to home.
- Uh-huh.
- So, when Dr. Ren
invited me
to join his private practice,
better hours,
better pay, not as sad,
I was, like, "Yeah."
Plus, he's g*y,
so I don't have to worry
about him hitting on me...
- [LAUGHS] which is nice.
- Dr. Ren is g*y?
Yeah. You didn't know that?
- He doesn't hide it.
- No.
He has, like, framed photos
of his husband
and him,
like, all around the office.
News to me.
I mean, I don't care. I just...
His jokes,
they hit differently now.
[LAUGHS]
I mean, he has,
he has no filter, that guy.
[BOTH LAUGH]
MIA:
Ah.
[MIA SNIFFLES]
So, what are you not telling me?
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
- Not gonna let it go, huh?
- No.
Okay.
I, uh... couldn't do it anymore.
Couldn't do what?
Couldn't create art.
Yeah, I would, um,
sit down in front of a canvas,
pick up my brush,
and... [SUCKS TEETH]
nothing.
Just couldn't do it anymore.
Couldn't even make
a single mark.
I mean, I wanted to make art.
I wanted to create, but...
I had so many ideas.
I j-- I just...
I would freeze, you know,
every time I sat down,
staring at a blank canvas.
I would literally, like,
break out into a sweat
and... start shaking.
I just-- I totally lost it.
You lost your dad,
then you lost your inspiration.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Uh, the first time it happened
was the night he passed... so...
[SOFT GUITAR MUSIC STOPS]
I, uh, I thought
maybe it was just in my head,
you know,
that day.
Maybe it was just
a one time thing, but,
every single time I would sit
down at the canvas,
same thing.
Hm.
You know, my therapist
told me something.
You see a therapist?
Yes. And... as I was saying...
- No judgment.
- My therapist told me
that we all live multiple lives.
KAI: Mm.
- Like, when you go through
a big life change,
it's like you're...
starting over.
Like, when my mom passed,
when I was in... tenth grade,
so a long time ago.
It doesn't, like, hurt anymore.
- But life is just...
BOTH: Different.
Exactly.
[INHALING DEEPLY]
You'll make your art again.
- You think so.
- Yeah?
'Cause passion
doesn't just go away.
You'll find it.
I'm glad somebody thinks so.
[CHUCKLES]
You ready to go?
Yeah, sure.
Are you sick of me yet?
Or do you want
to keep hanging out?
[CHUCKLES]
I'd love to keep hanging out.
Okay.
In that case...
- Whoa. [CHUCKLES]
- Don't fall.
Then I think I'm going to go
get some stuff together,
and I'll come back over
and cook for you.
Does that sound good?
- That sounds great.
- Okay, I also want to do...
[KAI CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHS] Come on.
Actually, can I
just take a minute?
- Yeah, soak it in.
- Just want to take it all in.

- They don't.
It's been shut down
for three months now.
What are you talking about?
I was here two days ago.
We had a conversation--
Jesus. We had two conversations.
I, I gave you five bucks.
It was the last cash
I had on me.
Look, boss,
all I know is this here bar shut
down three months ago.
You couldn't possibly
have had a drink here.
And we have never talked
because I have never seen
your a*s.
And I would remember
if somebody gave me five bucks.
I met someone here.
Been hanging out
for the last two days.
Good for you.
It's nice when you meet someone.
- Is he hot?
- It's a woman.
Sorry. I'm not one to judge.
You, uh, you be
who you are, boss.
Look, this is stupid.
I came here, we talked.
I went inside, I drank.
I met this crazy guy
who told
me I was going to die
in three days.
I got to find him.
I got to talk to him,
I got to,
I got to know if he was real.
I got to, I got to find out
if it's true at all.
I can't lead Mia on
if I'm going to die tomorrow.
I can't do that to her.
You know what I mean?
Maybe one of the lizard people
got up in your head
and left some memories there.
The lizard people-- You know
what?
Maybe the lizard people
got in your head
and erased all your memories
of me. What am I saying?
Not possible.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
I have protection.
Can't be too careful.
Right? Right?
So the bar's really closed?
Just as sure as I'm sitting here
talking to you.
Listen, boss.
Whatever it is
you're looking for,
you ain't gonna find it here.
Why don't you go
find your lady friend
and spend some time with her
before the lizard people
destroy all of us?
[SIGHS] You're right.
Of course I am.
You got cash?
Uh, I got a 20.
Can you break a 20?
Oh. Uh, no.
[SIGHS IN EXASPERATION]
Listen, boss.
Everything's going
to be all right.
You just keep your eye out
for the lizard people
and you'll be fine.

I thought you said
you were going to cook,
because this is clearly takeout.
Yes, this is takeout.
Do you remember how I told you
that my mom passed
when I was in high school?
- Yeah.
- Well, she never really
got around to teaching
me how to cook.
So, unless you want, like,
scrambled eggs or ramen,
- it's going to be takeout.
- Takeout is great.
- I love takeout.
- But I can plate
it up really nice,
so you won't notice.
- Where are your plates?
- Right here.
[SOFT GUITAR MUSIC

What's wrong?
I don't think we should do this.
Why, you don't like pasta?
I can order a pizza.
No, no, no, it's not the food.
It's, it's, uh...
it's all of it.
I really like you.
I really like you too.
So what's the problem?
I don't know if I can do it.
I wasn't there yet.
Not saying no. I don't remember
seeing anything about ED
- in your file...
- [LAUGHS] I could do that.
I can get it up real nice.
In fact, with you standing
there, looking so beautiful,
makes me want to just
forget about the food and...
just take you up
into my arms and...
forget all about tomorrow.
Smooth talking like that
will definitely get me
to sleep with you. [GIGGLES]
I'm serious.
- Yeah, so am I.
- But, but I, I have nothing.
I don't have a job.
I don't have any prospects.
I am the, the epitome
of the kind of person
that you are not supposed
to be interested in.
Well, what if I don't care
about that?
But I have nothing.
[SOFT GUITAR MUSIC STOPS]

What if I am that as*h*le
you thought I was?
What then?
Mia, you are everything
that anyone could ever want.
And I am nothing.
[CATCHES BREATH]
I am broken,
and I'm spilled out,
and I'm used up,
and I have nothing to offer you.
[SOBS]
Nothing.

MIA: Well, what if I think
you're enough?
What if I just want you?
I don't need anything else.
I'm here right now.
You're here.
And, and when I'm talking,
you make me feel
like you're listening.
You make me feel beautiful
and wanted.
And I want to be with you.
You can't worry
about what's going to happen.
You can't worry
that you're gonna hurt me.
Okay? That's for me to decide.
So, you can take a chance
right now, with me.
Or you can run away.
But that's your choice.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Come on, as*h*le.
I think you should go.
[SCOFFS]

- I'm sorry.
- You don't know what you are.
I know, you're right.
I, I don't know what I am,
and I, I can't
even promise you tomorrow.
I wasn't asking for tomorrow.
- You don't understand.
- Maybe I don't.
But I know I should be treated
better than this.
- Someone should want me.
- I--
All of me.
You know, I deserve someone
who's going to tell me
the truth.
Who won't hide
behind some excuse
that they're, they're afraid
of hurting me.
When, in reality,
they're just
afraid of taking a chance
and living their g*dd*mn life.
I want someone
who's not afraid to stop running
away from their happiness.
And who's gonna hold on
to what they have
for as long
as they possibly can.
'Cause who knows
how long we have?
A hundred years? Tops.
Eighty? I could die
in a car crash
on the way home, Kai.
That's how this works.
There are no promises.
There's here and now.
And nothing else matters.
Why don't you understand that?

When the day is done.
Turn yourself a classic
tune.

- Excuse me.
TAY: Oh, hey.
I didn't see you there.
- What'll it be?
- Uh, two beers. Good ones.
Got just the thing.
[TAY OPENS BOTTLE]
Thank you.
ORACLE:
You buy me a drink,
I will tell you your future.
[LAUGHS] I'm all set.
Oh, come on, let me try.
I'm good at it.
KAI: Hey, I'm here. Sorry,
I had to park
in the middle of nowhere.
No worries. I got you a drink.
And, uh,
I met this very nice man
who says he'll tell me
my fortune for a drink.
[FOREBODING MUSIC PLAYS]
[CHUCKLES]
No. No,
I'm not doing this again.
We won't be needing that.
No, no, no.
We're getting
the drinks in the gallery
because I'm not doing
the sh*t again. No!
Are you okay?
What did he say to you?
You feeling okay?
[MIA MUMBLES]
- He just asked if I would buy--
- No!
[LAUGHS]
Ah. [SIGHS]
Hm.

["CHASING THE SUN" BY JUDY ARON]
Take a moment
to take the top down.
And just try to stretch
our legs.
Throw the maps out
and throw caution.
To the wind instead.
And we'll drive along.
As the miles stretch on
and on and on and on.
Wake me up
when this is over.
Wake me
when our journey's done.
You can drive all night.
Until we reach
the morning light.
While you race the moon.
I'll still be
chasing the sun..
Holy sh*t.
Damn it, Kai!
["MY TIME" BY GABRIEL'S HOLD]
So, goodnight
dear old friend.
I sure hate to see you go.
Can you tell me
what this is like?
A two-year picture show.
I'm counting all the things
on my wall.
The ones you sent to me.
When the moon's over
my head.
I know it's been
over your feet.
And I know what it feels like
to be then.
Then from places to be
and appointments.
When I feel the clock
moving by.
Gonna take these
And just from.
Afar I'm gonna show
you why.
It's my time to breathe
and my time to see.
There's more to life
than thinking about sleep.
It's my time to breathe
and my time to see.
It's my,
It's my time.
It's my time.
