Margaret, are you willing to take on

all that life has to offer with me?

Oh my gosh!

Will you marry m...

Margaret Higgenbotham?

Yes?

You've been served by Hindsight Services.

Enjoy the rest of your night.

But we didn't sign up for anything!

You're going to divorce me

in 8 years from now?!

Poor kid. Could you imagine that

ride home?

Helen Broad?

I think she's the one. She isn't.

Oh she is.

She is! She isn't. She is.

Ever Weston?

Yeah?

You've been served by Hindsight

Services. Enjoy the rest of your day.

She isn't.

5 years from now a tornado rolls

through here, about two blocks,

but there's minimal damage to this house.

David Mitchem?

Every time!

[DISTANT LAUGHING]

Bachelorette party.

Noah?

Joy?

[PROM MUSIC]

[DRINK SPILLS]

Oh, come on!

[MUSIC INTENSIFIES]

Um, French fries? Cabaret?

A chorus line! Hash browns?

Indiana Jones? Mr Potato Head!

Mary Poppins? Toy Story!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, West Side Story!

Yes!! Go babe!

Thank you so much again. Such a good time.

We had such a fun time.

Good! We'll do my house next month, okay.

Just let me know what to bring.

Charades?

I'm going to get you guys next time.

Bye! See ya later!

[SIGHS]

We still gotta pick up the food.

Oh, boo!

And take out the trash.

Double boo!

Or... Oh, I like "or".

[TV: I helped you to beat Cornelia

and I'm grateful to you...]

[...because you helped me to beat life.]

[But that doesn't mean

that we have to fall in love.]

[Well if you don't want to,

but I'd make a wonderful wife.]

[Ha ha, well not for me, I'm afraid.]

[SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION]

Jacket pocket!

So I'll see you tonight?

Mhm, don't be late. Remember?

We've got that thing.

Bachlorette party.

That's the thing.

The one with your work friends.

The one with the sister you hate.

Andrea... Well, do you need a ride?

No, Kim is

picking me up. I am helping with food so,

I've got to get there early. We still need

to get the trash.

I'll get it later.

Uh uh, finish chewing!

[MUMBLES]: I gotta get to work.

I hated that!

That's not going to be one of your things

now, right?

I gotta go!

Noah!

[HUMMING: HERE COMES THE BRIDE]

Ugh!

I gotta go with Birdie! Oh, come on!

[MOM: I was thinking I'd make Noah

a hat for Christmas this year.]

Uh, yeah hehe would love that.

Make him a purple one. Noah loves purple.

[MOM: Are you guys going to be able

to make it for Thanksgiving?]

Uh, no. Noah's dad is trying

to do something, I think.

[MOM: I thought you went there last year?]

No, we went to Noah's mom's.

[MOM: Well, all your sisters will be here,

and we'd love to have everybody together.

Do you think Noah could just

invite his dad to come to our place?

I know it's a bit of a driv...

[love to have him.]

Uh, you know, I don't know if Noah

would be comfortable asking him.

[MOM: Why not?]

Um, I don't know.

They just don't really talk a lot, Mom.

Especially about things like that.

[MOM: Oh come on honey, it's his dad.

[I'm sure it'll be fine.]

Maybeoh yes!

[MOM: Yes?] No, II mean

um, maybe. I'll try talking to him.

[MOM: How is Noah?]

He's good... I think? He says that a lot;

"I'm good".

You know, it's kind of annoying,

but the kind of...

annoying that you can't be mad about,

because it's worse for you...

to be mad about it than

it is for him to do it, so

you just don't say anything,

but what you want...

is for him to tell you how he

really feels, because...

no one can be good all the time,

you know?

[MOM: Not really honey.]

Oh.

If Hindsight had been around

5 years ago, it would have saved me a...

fortune in legal fees

in most of my 20's.

Listen to your big sister on this one, Kim.

This is burnt.

All right,

I think it's time for another game!

Francis is perfect, Andrea.

He'd never do anything.

Nobody is perfect, Kim. Thinking

that is only going to get you hurt...

We have Bridal Pictionary!

He's perfect, okay?

It's just Pictionary, but aggressively

wedding themed!

Any exes?

Oh, everyone has exes!

Oh I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!

What's her name?

I think I have travel sized

Boggle in my purse!

It's just some girl that he works with.

I met her before.

She's nice, it's fine... Jessica Rogers.

I don't think now is the best time

for us to be doing thi...

Oh I found her, I found her, I found her!

And, she posted a picture of her

and Francis at work just two months ago.

Oh my gosh!

Kim, that is the company Christmas card.

It doesn't mean anything.

We don't know that. None of us do.

Butbut, there's an easy way to find out.

I don't think that this is a good idea.

Come on, like you've never done it!

No, II haven't.

Aren't you married?

All of that future wave stuff had

just been invented when I got married.

My husband started working

for Hindsight and we...

talked about doing it, but it

just never really seemed necessary.

I know it's scary,

but not knowing doesn't make it better.

I didn't say I was scared.

We were fine...

"Were?"

We are fine!

I think I'm going to do it. That's my girl!

Kim, are you sure about this?

We just agreed that it was better to know.

I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.

We'll all do it.

Yeah, yeah!

The first one delivers instantly,

so it'll be fun. Like a game!

Like Russian Roulette.

Oh please, Joy!

I'm only going to do it

if we all do it. Please?

What's the harm? Oh, I'm sure you and

your husband are the perfect couple.

All right.

[EXCITED CHATTER]

On the count of three,

we'll all hit send together.

Okay, ladies? Okay, okay, okay.

One, two, three!

We did it, we did it!

[MUSIC]

We did it!

Noah?

Joy?

Uh, J-Joy Roberts?

Hi, Phil.

You've been served by Hindsight Services.

Have a great rest of your night.

So Please don't be mad!

Everyone said that we should

download the app and do it, but I

didn't want to, but they just kept

pressuring me and so I pretended

to do it with them,

but I didn't actually submit the info.

I-I swear, I don't know how it got sent!

Well...

I'm just going to say this and then you

can be mad, and I understand if you are.

Believe me, but...

I think we should open it, because

it's there and we know it's there, and if

we were to do something like throw

it away it would just...

It would drive me insane. I'm sorry!

It's a "no fault" divorce.

What does that mean?

Means we didn't place blame on a

particular party or anything.

It makes it easier.

Legally.

Is that all it says?

No, there are some details.

Our major argument centers

around a trip we take to Paris.

Well that's crazy, right?

Because we would never go to Paris.

I mean...

I know I've talked about it,

but you hate to fly,

and touristy stuff, and

smelly cheese and...

Oh.

Yeah.

I'm not sure what to do.

What usually happens?

Yelling. Usually yelling happens.

Do you want to yell?

I'm good.

Or?

I like "or".

We could always not go to Paris?

I mean, if we just decide right now

to never go to Paris,

then maybe we won't get divorced. I mean

the future can change, right?

Hindsight is kind of built on that

idea of divorcing now instead of later.

So we just don't go!

You always wanted to go to Paris.

Yeah I know, but it's okay.

It sounds like I would

have a terrible time.

I mean what do we have

to lose if it doesn't work out?

Right. Yeah, I mean it happens to couples

all the time. My parents are divorced.

YesNo! Not "yes" like "yes!",

but like "yes".

Right.

Okay. Okay? Okay. Okay!

Yeah, okay. Okay! Okay! Okay.

Hindsight has new memberships that get

us new files every week.

We'll just have to sign up

and pick a time for deliveries.

How about Saturdays at 6:00 p.m.?

Saturday's at 6:00 it is, and until

then we just go on with life as normal.

Try not to think about it.

I'm going to think about it.

Yeah. I'm going to think about it a lot.

Right. I am thinking about it right now.

I know. But look, we we can do this!

You know, it's only one week.

Not even a week. Six days!

Okay. Yeah. Yeah! All right ityes,

six days. Yes, easy!

We can do this. We can do this!

So?

Ha!

Yeah!

All of our savings?

We file for a divorce 2 weeks

into a cross country road trip.

Well, at least it changed.

We could probably change it again? Yeah!

So? No RV's?

Or no cross country road trips.

Just to be safe.

[MUSIC]

Come on!

No, no, nooo!

Well that doesn't seem so...

You buy 26 pinball machines!

Understandable.

So just one pinball machine?

No pinball! No pinball.

Hey Noah! We're ready for

you in there. How you doing?

I'm good.

He has lots of friends!

Yes, I do! I am not one of these

helicopter mothers that's like going

all over the place.

No, seriously.

Okay, who paid for your parking today?

Hey Noah!

Hey Phil.

Everything okay?

I'm good.

Ugh, I just feel like an idiot!

You know, like I always knew there's

something wrong with him, but II

just didn't want to admit it, you know?

I'm so sorry, Kim.

I mean, what kind of person quits their

job at 40 to pursue a country music career?

It's a lot to wrap your head around.

It's like a nightmare that I

haven't woken up from yet.

This feels too baggy.

It's a little baggy.

Ugh! I just wanted to be married already!

Yeah.

I'm just so tired of dating.

You know, getting to know someone

all over again, and even worse,

letting them get to know you. Okay, it's

exhausting!

I'm just

I'm just so done with first dates.

I only ever had one.

You're kidding? Like, I knew that you

and Noah had been together for

a while, but wow. Geez. Like,

I can't even imagine just dating one guy.

I thought you just said that

you didn't like dating?

Well, I don't, but I feel like you should

you know at least try out a few to see

you know, what you like and

more importantly, what you do not.

I like that one!

Yeah?

I am so sorry, I have been an idiot!

Here I am, making this all about me, and

you are going through the exact same thing!

No, it's fine! Really.

No, no. It is not! To think that jerk

would ever divorce you! Okay, you're

awesome, okay?

And you don't need anyone to be the

perfect amazing person that you are!

I love that romper!

It's really okay! We're seeing

if we can make it work.

Doesn't the file say that

you guys get divorced?

Yes, but we're seeing if we

can change it. And it's working!

Well, at least the reason why we're

getting divorced keeps changing.

But we always seem to still get divorced.

That sounds horrible.

Eh? Eh... Oh.

It's really not that bad. We're

handling it. We'll work it out.

I don't know, just don't feel trapped okay?

Like, if it doesn't work out with Noah,

then you can do better.

Oh, I really like that color.

Right.

Besides, I'm sure it's not all

it's cracked up to be, right?

I'm sorry?

Being married.

Oh! Um... I don't know it's...

it's a lot of things. It's it's different

than I thought it would be.

Is it scary?

No, no.

I mean...

yes? It's really intense sometimes,

but like

a good kind of intense.

Like before I was building a

tent alone in the woods,

and if I dropped a pole or something

then who cares, right?

But now I am building this big, beautiful,

intricate house with another person,

and if I mess up then

I just have a tower of bricks crushing not

just me but someone else, too.

Does that make sense?

Not really, no.

Right.

That's cute!

[CLOCK TICKING]

[KNOCKING AT FRONT DOOR]

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

[OPENS FRONT DOOR]: Hey Noah.

Hey.

Got your file. Uh, how's it going?

Uh, it's alright.

How's Joy?

[FRONT DOOR CLOSES]

[TALKING CONTINUES OUTSIDE]

[FRONT DOOR OPENS]

[SIGHS]

Well?

What is it?

11 years from now.

Well, that's the longest one yet!

We get divorced because I miss

our daughter's 9th birthday.

Our daughter?

Yeah.

Oh.

So, does that mean we just

don't celebrate birthdays? Or...

I really don't like "or".

Yeah... me either.

But I don't want to get divorced.

Me neither.

Okay.

Okay.

Um, this cake is great Leslie.

So good! Best cake I ever had.

Delicious. Yeah.

The icing is also great.

Yeah it's um, uh coconut.

Would never have guessed.

Well, I was going to start a fire.

Uh, do you guys want to help?

Make life harder for you!

"My process server was rude

and disrespectful of

my grandmother's funeral."

She shouldn't have had an open casket.

She's cute, right?

It won't last.

What do you mean?

We're not supposed to be

with one person our entire life.

That's not what nature intended. And you

can't fight your nature. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I'm not wrong. We're basically

all just mammals that can talk.

We are mammals that can talk.

See?

I'm already winning Noah over.

"My process server was intrusive,

and completely devoid of any sympathy."

"Completely" is a strong word.

So you guys think I shouldn't get married?

You can do what you want.

I don't care. Just be honest about her.

People get scared and lonely,

so they get married

because they think it will

save them from dying alone.

Well there is love, too.

Marriage doesn't have a monopoly on love.

Just alimony.

Oh, haha. My process server arrived

while my date and I were on the.

Jumbotron kiss cam. I actually

kind of felt bad about that one.

Don't listen to him, Phil.

He's just a cynical old man.

Thank goodness.

How can you guys not

be cynical, given what we do for a living?

That's true.

I don't know. Uh...

being around it all the time gives me

hope there's something better out there.

Makes sense!

Geez, Phil! Have your own opinion.

I don't even care what it is.

Just stop agreeing with

the last person who talks.

Okay.

Why are you like this?

What do you mean?

It was rhetorical.

I can't believe we're even talking

about marriage

when you can't even have an opinion.

Why don't want we talk

about something else, huh?

I'm just getting started.

I just think we should, uh,

change the subject.

Why?

What, what are you doing?

He's trying to change his subject

because of what's going between Joy and I.

Oh. Sorry, I... Relax

guys! It's fine, you know?

Seriously, you don't have to worry me.

Uh, it is what it is. I'm good.

"My process server seems to be

severely depressed and I was concerned."

It'll pass, man.

Yeah! Besides, getting divorced

isn't the worst thing in the world.

And, Hindsight Services

doesn't even work, anyway.

Hindsight works. Future waves work.

Sure, future waves are real

but, they work on some things

better than others.

They can tell us when it's

going to rain, but people are just too

complicated. We change our minds too much.

Heck, just by knowing it changes. And then

you know you know, and it changes again.

Then it's just an infinite

ever-changing future of possibilities.

So, it doesn't work?

Oh no, it works. We're just not

delivering what you think we're delivering.

And that is?

Doubt. Hindsight Services is great

at delivering doubt. And believe me,

it's just as real as anything else.

People are always looking for an

escape hatch, just in case.

And once we deliver that doubt, they can't

shake it.

So, they pull the hatch. They always do.

How are things with you andGeez! Lesley!

I'm sorry, I didn't want to ask

in front of the others.

Things are fine. Everything is fine. It's

not that bad.

What's not that bad?

Nothing! We'rewe're

handling it. We're just

going through some

kinks right now, that's all.

I would just be careful Joy, okay? High

tension situations like this are ticking

time bombs. One of you might

snap and k*ll the other one.

I've seen it happen!

You've seen it happen?

People snap, Joy!

Noah won't snap!

Well, you might! I'm serious.

Things could get ugly fast...

So what! If they do, we'll

just get divorced like everyone else.

It's not that big of a deal.

Excuse me.

So, I am not very good

at this sort of thing.

I have a tendency to ramble

on a lot, and I have

been told that my metaphors

and analogies can be a bit confusing.

So I thought it'd be better

for today if I just centered this speech

around a corny, albeit well-known phrase:

"You two are perfect for each other."

That's familiar, right? And not confusing.

When I was growing up, I

would hear that saying again

and again about my parents,

and I took that saying for what I thought

it meant, which was somewhere out there,

there is one perfect person for me.

Which is crazy, right?

I mean, the odds of finding

each other would be impossible,

and despite that, people still try.

Every day we search for that one perfect

person,

hoping against all the impossible odds

that we'll somehow find them,

but I don't think that we ever do.

Um, no! What I mean is, I think we

can all agree no one is perfect.

And so, what we're really looking

for is someone who is willing to

work with you.

Someone who is able to balance you out.

Someone who is great at all the things

that you suck at, and doesn't

mind taking out the trash.

But, that might just be more

of a personal request.

Someone who, when you're together,

you're both better.

And, despite being as imperfect as you

are individually, you can

maybe be perfect together.

And Hannah, you and Richard

are perfect together.

And one day, I hope that I am lucky

enough to marry someone

and people say the same thing about us.

I like your dress.

Thanks.

[PROM MUSIC]

Ow, ow, ow!

I mean, this must have have

happened before though, right?

[CARTER ON THE PHONE: I mean, I've heard of

a guy missing a delivery by an hour or so,

[but nothing like this. How late again?]

Six weeks... [CARTER: Ooh, it's not good!]

No, no it's not.

[CARTER: My advice? Just ditch it.]

But what if it's important?

[CARTER: Have you not read it?]

No! We're not supposed to.

[CARTER: Doesn't mean you can't.]

But that's exactly what that means!

[CARTER: It's a file. Just open it.

[If it's not serious, then just burn it.]

But... what if it is serious?

[CARTER: Still burn it.]

[JOSH SIGHS]

Ugh!

If I was supposed to deliver the file and

they asked for it, then I should.

I don't think it's my place to decide

if they shouldn't get at this point.

[CARTER: If you deliver that file,

I don't see how on earth you

don't end up getting fired.

[Besides, what would you even tell them?]

The truth: "It was an accident.

It's my fault. I'm sorry."

[CARTER: 100% burn the file.

[If it makes you feel better, it probably

belongs to some schmuck, anyway.]

Get it! Get it from my foot. Oh, other side

Other side! Wow!

Get it, get it, get it!

[CAR HORN!]

Hey buddy. Hey.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. Uh, sorry. Um...

Jordan Thomas?

Yeah? You're not like going to

try to k*ll me or something, are you?

Oh no, no, no! No. Uh, you've been serv

I'm from Hindsight Services.

Is that that future wave divorce thingy?

Yeah, yeah. Uh, I have a file for you.

Um, I'm afraid it got misplaced, and uh...

It was supposed to be delivered to you

sometime about a month ago.

I didn't order a file.

You didn't?

You don't have a twin, do you?

You said it was like a month ago?

6 weeks.

Ah.

Me and the Mrs. had like a heated

debate somewhere around then.

I thought the kids were asleep.

I guess not. Is that the file?

Oh yeah! Here you go.

Is there anything else?

No.

Okay, well. I'm kind on the clock so uh,

thanks for delivering the file and

enjoy the rest of your day, man.

[LITTLE GIRL: Pass it to me!]

[JORDAN: I love you.]

Huh.

[FRONT DOOR OPENS]

Hey. I didn't know if you were

going to make it back in time.

What?

Oh. Yeah.

You okay?

I'm good.

What?

Nothing. It's nothing.

It's okay, you can tell me.

Really, it'sit's fine. It's dumb.

Don't worry about it.

Seriously, it's okay.

It's really not worth it, and it

shouldn't bother me anyway.

Well, what bothers you?

Noah, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say

anything. Can we please just drop it?

We don't really need anything else, right?

I just don't want to say something wrong

and then it just comes back at

me in the next file. Okay?

Okay.

[CLOCK TICKING]

I'm tired.

"Sleepy tired" or "junk food

on the couch" tired?

We keep getting these files.

Even though the circumstances might

change, we end up getting divorced.

Every. Single.Time.

And I hate it.

I act like it's fine. Like I'm fine.

But I'm not.

I'm tired.

Are you saying that you want to stop?

Yes.

No, no no! Not stop like that!

No, I don't mean that.

Okay, then whatwhat do you mean?

Joy, I love you.

And I'm not leaving you.

Because you are my wife.

And that means something.

II may not know what exactly,

but when I'm with you I can feel it!

I chose you. And you chose me.

And now, we're stuck together.

Andand well thank God for that,

because now we've got to make this

work. And I don't want another option.

I. Want. You.

I want us, and the dozens of

stupid cute kids we're going to

have together, and I'm not going to

let some piece of paper stop me, okay?

I hate it when you say "I'm good"!

It drives me crazy and I want

to punch you every time you do it!

It's been a while since I've

heard you talk that much.

You should do it more often.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yes, Noah.

Okay.

I feel like my skin is on fire.

Like I'm just going to com bust and

destroy the whole planet. And honestly,

that doesn't sound so terrible, because

it would certainly make some things a

lot easier, but then I remember that

you're on the planet too, and I'd be

really upset if you combusted.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, it does.

[KNOCKING AT FRONT DOOR]

What now?
