00:00:30You
00:01:00Time is a funny thing.
00:01:11One day you're a little girl running fast toward an unknowable future.
00:01:19And then suddenly you're an adult, not sure of who you are and what you're doing.
00:01:36You want to go back to a time when things were simple.
00:01:51What if you could?
00:02:20Maybe we go back to see ourselves as younger people.
00:02:25Still us, but different.
00:02:39I've discovered that the clock in here is more important than the clock out there.
00:02:44The clock that stops when a moment is beautiful.
00:02:49As if the universe understands you're trying to hold on.
00:03:03What if I told you that you could go back, but it wouldn't change the future?
00:03:23Maybe we go back anyway, just to remember.
00:03:31To try and hold on to those moments.
00:03:36What if you could?
00:05:17Hey, do you guys want a yearbook photo?
00:05:39Just to...
00:05:40You gotta take the shot, man.
00:05:45They always say no unless you give them a reason to say yes.
00:05:51Okay, I don't know you.
00:05:54But I know that you are using an internal light meter.
00:05:58You can't trust us, they're just not as reliable.
00:06:01No one else in yearbook really cares about the quality except me.
00:06:04Can I see that?
00:06:05Yeah.
00:06:06It's a starter camera, I'm gonna swap it out for a better body.
00:06:10How's your prom?
00:06:12Good.
00:06:13Great.
00:06:14Awful.
00:06:15It's over, um...
00:06:35Everything okay?
00:06:38I'm all good.
00:06:40No you're not.
00:06:42Looks like you're going nuclear.
00:06:45Are you someone's mom?
00:06:48That would mean that I had a kid at like 12.
00:06:52Guess not.
00:06:54I take it that was your prom?
00:06:57Yeah.
00:06:58Arabian nights.
00:07:00I think our theme was something like under the sea.
00:07:03We're either mermaids or belly dancers.
00:07:06Some grade A sexist bullshit in my opinion.
00:07:13You know it doesn't really matter what year it is or who attends.
00:07:17This prom is every prom.
00:07:19Except this prom is supremely worse because I got dumped at prom.
00:07:24You're dateless on prom.
00:07:26It's gotta be a girl.
00:07:28Maybe she said no, maybe she came with some other guy.
00:07:31She didn't say no.
00:07:33In case you didn't ask.
00:07:34I'm not talking about her.
00:07:35I don't gotta tell my old ass friends.
00:07:38There's nothing to say.
00:07:39She's not into me.
00:07:40She's with some other hack.
00:07:42You know it only gets worse from here.
00:07:45Much worse.
00:07:47This, you know what you're feeling now?
00:07:49It gets multiplied by 10 when you're 34 and you're not the hot young thing anymore.
00:07:59But that's not you.
00:08:02You don't have to worry about that yet.
00:08:05Okay.
00:08:11Have a good night.
00:08:13You too.
00:08:22So you're the nice guy in this story.
00:08:23You say that like it's a bad thing.
00:08:24No, no, it's not a bad thing.
00:08:26Yeah, but what you're trying to say is that it's not a good thing.
00:08:28No, no, no, you're just overthinking the whole thing.
00:08:30They, women and girls, they don't want nice.
00:08:34They want someone extraordinary.
00:08:35They don't want a hug.
00:08:36They want a punch in the fucking heart.
00:08:38You got that?
00:08:41You got it.
00:08:44There's my friend.
00:08:45I'll see ya.
00:09:04Hi.
00:09:10Hi.
00:09:13I'll get the same and hers too, just put it on mine.
00:09:16Does your husband know that you're here alone?
00:09:24Did you see the kids?
00:09:25Yeah, I just saw her.
00:09:28Yeah, I saw him too.
00:09:31Remember what it was like to be that young?
00:09:34My memory's a little hazy, you'll have to remind me.
00:09:39So there was this guy that I dated once in high school.
00:09:43And he turned out to be a colossal jerk, but there was this allure about him.
00:09:52The kind of quality that just drew you in against your will.
00:09:55I mean, he sounds perfect, but I know that his story doesn't have a good ending.
00:10:00As I discovered, we were entirely incompatible.
00:10:03And so you looked at him and you saw a future that you didn't want.
00:10:07He could have grown up and turned out to be amazing and I'd never know it because at the time he was Mr. Wrong.
00:10:15Well, I feel sorry for this guy.
00:10:17Yes, of course you do.
00:10:20Yes, of course you do.
00:10:24I'm not the victim here. I just got my heart stomped on repeatedly.
00:10:28Yeah, well, I'm sure it wasn't easy for him either.
00:10:31You know, actually, I doubt that he ever lost one night's sleep over our breakup.
00:10:36Over anything. Over me, over us.
00:10:38I lost hundreds of nights sleep over ours.
00:10:40God, you know, I walked into that one, didn't I? I should have seen that coming.
00:10:43Liz. I should go.
00:10:44Liz, don't do this. Liz.
00:10:46Thank you for the drink.
00:10:47Stop.
00:10:49Liz?
00:10:53Where have you been? Everybody's upstairs by now.
00:10:55I'm going home. I'm out. I'm over prom.
00:10:57No, you're not. You're coming with me to the after party.
00:11:00You're going to be like the one person who doesn't show up. You really, really don't want to be that person.
00:11:07Dave's going to be there. I'm totally fine being that person.
00:11:10Oh my God, okay. Stop. Stop.
00:11:14Am I seriously hearing this noise?
00:11:16If you don't show up, he has won.
00:11:18Congrats, you ruined your night.
00:11:21Did you call yourself a feminist or...
00:11:28What am I supposed to do?
00:11:30You swagger into that party.
00:11:35Swagger?
00:11:36Yes. The swagger is essential.
00:11:39And then you drop the mic and then you let everybody see that mic for what it is.
00:11:42You get to have your fun. Dave feels stupid.
00:11:46And that's that.
00:11:49Dropping the mic, what is...
00:11:52Drop it.
00:11:53I don't know what that means.
00:11:54Drop it low.
00:11:56Come on. Oh my God.
00:11:57What? You just...
00:11:59It's game time.
00:12:01I don't have a choice, do I?
00:12:02Nope. No, you don't.
00:12:06And you can't bring that with you either.
00:12:08Did you just say that?
00:12:09Shh.
00:12:11Hey, we can sit there.
00:12:12Dude, they totally just checked us out.
00:12:15They weren't even looking at us.
00:12:17Look, man, I don't need your negativity.
00:12:19I need hope.
00:12:20It's gonna happen for me tonight.
00:12:22I can feel it.
00:12:25Prom is a scam.
00:12:27You have the entire summer to get laid.
00:12:29No, dude.
00:12:30No, I'm running out of time.
00:12:33You see this suit?
00:12:34That suit?
00:12:37Yeah, it's a pretty nice suit.
00:12:38Yeah, yeah, it's going down.
00:12:39Come on, let's go.
00:12:42So they've been together a grand total of maybe two hours.
00:12:45Anyway...
00:12:47Hey.
00:12:48Hi.
00:12:49Hey.
00:13:06So, um...
00:13:08What are you guys doing this summer?
00:13:12My parents are making me go on birthright.
00:13:15Oh, that's cool.
00:13:18It's not really a cause for celebration, but...
00:13:22I'm doing a bunch of stuff.
00:13:24I'm gonna be backpacking across Europe.
00:13:27London, Milan, Barcelona, all over the place.
00:13:30You didn't tell me that.
00:13:31I really should.
00:13:32I'd kill to go.
00:13:36When are you thinking about going?
00:13:40Still making plans.
00:13:41Yeah, I don't know.
00:13:43What are you doing this summer?
00:13:45Just this photo journalism program.
00:13:49Wait, so...
00:13:50We're graduating and you're going back to school?
00:13:53It's not school.
00:13:55I don't know if I got in yet.
00:14:07Well, that was the worst prom of all time.
00:14:10And the biggest waste of time.
00:14:13No, no, no, absolutely not.
00:14:14You guys always pick the worst pictures for yearbook.
00:14:16There's actually not a single picture of you in the yearbook.
00:14:20I checked.
00:14:22That doesn't give you a license to take pictures of whoever you want.
00:14:26Okay, sorry.
00:14:30Here we go.
00:14:39Liz!
00:14:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:14:45What is this about? Really?
00:14:49Argentina.
00:14:58I thought we agreed that we wouldn't talk about it.
00:15:00Well, I don't know. Maybe I do want to talk about it.
00:15:02We were on a break.
00:15:04The situation was this.
00:15:05An opportunity presented itself to you and you took it.
00:15:10You can't just say you want space and then just use it against me.
00:15:13You know what, this is going to blow your mind right now,
00:15:15but the whole universe doesn't revolve around you.
00:15:18It doesn't?
00:15:19You know what, I take that back.
00:15:21Your ego definitely has a gravitational pull.
00:15:24I say hi, I buy you a drink, and then all of a sudden the walls go up.
00:15:29The Great Wall of Elizabeth.
00:15:32I would have to say that you, miss, are the worst.
00:15:35No.
00:15:36You're the worst.
00:15:37I'm the worst.
00:15:38You're the worst.
00:15:39All right, good night.
00:15:40You don't have all the facts about what happened.
00:15:41No, no, no, this isn't about facts.
00:15:42No, this is about feelings.
00:15:45And my feeling right now is somewhere between nauseous and more nauseous.
00:15:50Listen, nauseous, I have something really cool to show you.
00:15:52Did you hear anything that I just said?
00:15:54Yes, I know, but I have something really cool to show you.
00:15:57Come on.
00:15:58I'm not going anywhere.
00:15:59I'm going to do this really cool thing by myself.
00:16:02I'm not going to go over there.
00:16:03It's just over here.
00:16:04No, it's really cool.
00:16:05Really?
00:16:06Yes, come on.
00:16:07Good luck, have fun.
00:16:08Come on, just follow me.
00:16:09Have a great night.
00:16:10Just please come with me.
00:16:11Look.
00:16:12I'm not going anywhere with you.
00:16:13I'm just going to walk into traffic.
00:16:14Oh, that might be the smartest thing that you have done all night.
00:16:17Oh, there's a car.
00:16:18Go for it.
00:16:19Go for it, Drew.
00:16:20Do it.
00:16:21Get hit by a car.
00:16:22I'm going to get hit by a car.
00:16:23Do it.
00:16:24I dare you.
00:16:25If you don't come, that's it.
00:16:27You're so stupid.
00:16:28Yes, bon voyage, life.
00:16:31You should really be careful.
00:16:33All right, hey, hey, come on.
00:16:37It's super cool.
00:16:38Let's go.
00:16:40Where?
00:16:41Just across the street.
00:16:44Please come with me.
00:16:47Please.
00:16:52Nice.
00:16:53Let's go.
00:16:54Let's not...
00:16:55I'm not running.
00:16:56Let's run.
00:16:57Get on my back.
00:17:11You're not going to want to remember any of this.
00:17:17What is this?
00:17:18I don't know.
00:17:25Stop looking at him.
00:17:27Okay, he's a train wreck.
00:17:28Just frickin' hit his ass and come dance with me.
00:17:33I have to go.
00:17:37Okay.
00:17:38Bye.
00:17:39Bye.
00:17:46Whoa, whoa.
00:17:47Where are you going?
00:17:48I thought you were going to be my wingman.
00:17:49I will.
00:17:50That's just something I got to do first.
00:17:51You're going to talk to your girl crush, huh?
00:17:54No, it's nothing, never mind.
00:17:59Go for it, man.
00:18:00Yeah.
00:18:03Hit him.
00:18:10Shit.
00:18:13I'm using it.
00:18:14It's me.
00:18:17I said I'm using it.
00:18:18I said it's me.
00:18:21I'm coming.
00:18:25What the hell, Andy?
00:18:26What do you want?
00:18:32You're not using it.
00:18:34What if someone died of their bladder exploding?
00:18:37Well, that's their problem then.
00:18:40Hey, did you notice that that room is like really small and there are a lot of people and there's definitely less air to breathe?
00:18:52Are you going spontaneously combust?
00:18:54It's a breathing exercise.
00:18:58Can I ask you something?
00:19:00How come you talk to me like we didn't ride our bikes every day when we were eight?
00:19:05Because we're not eight anymore.
00:19:07But you're still the same girl.
00:19:09That's where you're damn wrong.
00:19:13You know, Dave is kind of a loser.
00:19:15He's got like the IQ of a fat squirrel.
00:19:18Did you have a problem with him?
00:19:20Yeah, he shoved me inside my own locker freshman year.
00:19:22That never happened.
00:19:24Maybe it did, maybe it didn't.
00:19:26It didn't.
00:19:28It didn't.
00:19:29The point is, I don't need some personal tragedy to tell me that Dave Pierre is a total douchebag.
00:19:35Well, I'm not dating him anymore, so it's not like it matters.
00:19:41It does matter though, because you dated him at one point.
00:19:47FYI, fat squirrels are definitely smarter than Dave and I would know that from personal experience.
00:19:52That's the B I know.
00:19:53Shut up.
00:20:01We should probably go back out there.
00:20:06You're welcome to go.
00:20:08You're welcome to go.
00:20:13Ladies first.
00:20:18You suck this night.
00:20:31Alright, go for it.
00:20:35How did you convince him to let you in here?
00:20:38I told him that I needed a really special place to propose to my girlfriend.
00:20:41Oh, very clever.
00:20:47It's sad when they close these places down.
00:20:49It's like ghost theater, ghost people watching ghost movies.
00:20:56Everything has its time.
00:20:59One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:21:12It's my lucky number.
00:21:15It's not where you sit, but who you sit next to.
00:21:22I remember that first summer.
00:21:24I wanted to see Big Lebowski, but you insisted on seeing Buffalo 66.
00:21:28You told me you loved that movie.
00:21:29I did.
00:21:31Oh, you were so bent out of shape because you wanted to see the Coen brothers.
00:21:35Honey, you always wanted to see these movies that no one ever heard of.
00:21:37Oh, like Underdogs.
00:21:38Or foreign films, like without the subtitles.
00:21:40Oh, and the best part was sitting in the back row and making up all the dialogue.
00:21:45And you made everybody out to be like this mobster.
00:21:48You were always saying stuff like, come here little lady, come shoot my tummy gun.
00:21:55And I was so busy putting as many profane words into their mouths as possible.
00:21:58Oh, profane is an understatement.
00:22:00Well.
00:22:09Steve and Private Ryan, three times.
00:22:12There's that line where he says to his wife, he says, tell me I've lived a good life.
00:22:19Tell me I'm a good guy.
00:22:22Kills you.
00:22:24I looked over at you and you were just crying the whole time.
00:22:34That's when you knew.
00:22:36That's when I knew what?
00:22:38That you wanted to kiss me.
00:22:47What about this one?
00:22:50The five and a half hours between here and Palo Alto.
00:22:57All that time I spent sitting in a car, waiting, and all the time that I spent not seeing you versus the time that I actually did.
00:23:05What you don't remember, but I do, is that the minute you came in the house, you were so happy that you made it that you forgot everything else.
00:23:13Oh, no.
00:23:14I just didn't want to make you feel guilty for making me drive up there.
00:23:18The happier the memory, the more unlikely it is that you'll remember it.
00:23:21Okay.
00:23:22You know, I could tell you a story, or you could tell me one, or we could just go our separate ways and call it a night.
00:23:43Hey.
00:23:44You're in Yearbook, right?
00:23:46Yeah.
00:23:47What?
00:23:48Yeah, I am.
00:23:49Can you take our picture?
00:23:53No.
00:23:55Come on, McFarley, just take it.
00:23:57It's McFarland.
00:23:59Whatever, dude. Just do it.
00:24:02Hey, I'm gonna go, but thank you.
00:24:08We're just friends.
00:24:10Whatever, man. She's not all that.
00:24:14You know, how about I take your picture?
00:24:16Let's go.
00:24:22I just forgot. I didn't bring the right film for douchebags.
00:24:26What?
00:24:27Oh, I said I didn't bring the right film to expose for douchebags.
00:24:34Dude, what happened?
00:24:35You're such a jerk, Dave.
00:24:37Take your girlfriend and get out.
00:24:42Great.
00:24:43Great.
00:24:45That was awesome.
00:24:47Ow.
00:24:48Does it hurt?
00:24:49It's just not broken.
00:24:52Here. Tilt your head back.
00:24:56Does that feel better?
00:24:57Oh, it's great. Thanks.
00:24:58Congratulations. You pissed off everyone inside there.
00:25:01Fuck.
00:25:04It's true. He's an asshole. Who cares?
00:25:07Screw all of them.
00:25:09Well, I'm sorry. Some of us aren't going to Palo Alto.
00:25:12Some of us are stuck here with those assholes for all of eternity
00:25:16because some of us didn't get into Stanford or an out-of-state school or pretty much anywhere.
00:25:20I thought you were backpacking across Europe.
00:25:22I lied. I'm stuck here.
00:25:24Why would you lie about that?
00:25:26What do you think I'm doing this summer?
00:25:28I'm working concessions at the new Beverly. That's what I'm doing.
00:25:32That's the big secret.
00:25:35Do it.
00:25:37No.
00:25:38Do it.
00:25:39I don't even have a change of clothes with me.
00:25:42Are you really that scared? I mean, it's not even that deep.
00:25:45You know I can't swim.
00:25:47I'll save you if you start to drown. I mean, I've done it before.
00:25:49Jesus Christ.
00:25:52I thought you quit that.
00:25:55I did.
00:25:58Does he know about this?
00:26:01Are we still doing that?
00:26:02Maybe he feels responsible.
00:26:05As far as vices go these days, smoking is practically vintage. He has worse.
00:26:11Hmm.
00:26:14Like what?
00:26:15Pride, for one. Oh, and selfishness.
00:26:19Sometimes it gets the best of him.
00:26:26And what would he say about her?
00:26:29What do you think he'd say?
00:26:30Oh, I'm not even going to go there. I'm not even going to go there.
00:26:32Because that's, I can't even win with that question.
00:26:34Well, if you don't have anything negative to say, I'd be pleased to hear it.
00:26:36I just know not to engage.
00:26:38And I enjoy picking fights, according to you.
00:26:46Yeah, there's something that I want to say.
00:26:48I know that I've let you down in the past, and I'd like to make it up to you somehow.
00:26:57You only get one prom.
00:26:59You get as many proms as you want.
00:27:02Let's make tonight prom, the real prom.
00:27:05Let's make the best fucking prom anyone's ever seen.
00:27:09There's no reason for you not to try.
00:27:12That's such a silly idea.
00:27:16But is it a bad one?
00:27:22How do you propose we do this?
00:27:25How do you propose we do this?
00:27:29Let me think. Do you trust me?
00:27:32I've done it before, and it only gets me into trouble.
00:27:34Then let's cause some trouble.
00:27:36What?
00:27:37Let's cause some fucking trouble.
00:27:39You're it.
00:27:44Drew.
00:27:45You're supposed to chase me. Chase me. Come on.
00:27:49Jesus Christ.
00:27:50Jesus Christ.
00:27:53You being here this summer isn't such a bad thing.
00:27:56Don't you have somewhere else that you can be?
00:27:58I really don't need you here trying to make me feel better.
00:28:14Can I see that?
00:28:17It's complicated.
00:28:21It doesn't have autofocus or anything like that.
00:28:24You'll probably figure it out. I just want to see it.
00:28:29Don't break it again.
00:28:35The shutter's broken.
00:28:47Hey.
00:28:50Hey.
00:28:56Give me my camera.
00:28:58I will...
00:29:00Give it.
00:29:02I'm not going to...
00:29:08win.
00:29:11Congratulations. You've made me an outcast.
00:29:16I'm on your level now.
00:29:18On my level.
00:29:20Dissect that for me.
00:29:21You choose to be a misfit.
00:29:23You enjoy sequestering yourself in your tiny little intellectual tower
00:29:26so that way you can stare down on us peons.
00:29:30That's a choice word.
00:29:32I liberated you from those stuck-ups.
00:29:34In ten years, they're all going to be working as janitors at our high school.
00:29:38All of them.
00:29:40There were like 40 people at that party?
00:29:43It'll be a really clean high school.
00:29:46What?
00:29:48Your nose is bleeding again.
00:29:56Here. Just... ow.
00:29:59There you go.
00:30:01Why thank you.
00:30:03Is that better?
00:30:05It's fantastic.
00:30:09I must have been in a freaking coma to have been dating Dave.
00:30:12Okay, Dave was actually a nice guy.
00:30:14A nice guy? That's your standard.
00:30:18Nice and prone to extremely violent outbursts.
00:30:20Okay, I don't want to talk to you about this right now. I'm not going to.
00:30:23Fine, don't.
00:30:24I won't?
00:30:25Hi.
00:30:28Hi.
00:30:31Your nose looks funny.
00:30:32Shut up.
00:30:33You shut up.
00:30:34I have to go to the bathroom.
00:30:35Me too.
00:30:36Dave got all weird about me being with Andy, and Andy called Dave an asshole.
00:30:39Dave punched him in the face, I gasped, everyone gasped,
00:30:42and then we got kicked out of the party.
00:30:44Now I'm here.
00:30:46I think he likes you.
00:30:48What? No.
00:30:49We... me and him, we're not... we're not dating.
00:30:53You know, I used to be a lot like you.
00:30:55Always convincing myself that I didn't care when I did.
00:30:59And I did care.
00:31:00But it was all in my head.
00:31:02Always convincing myself that I didn't care when I did.
00:31:05And I did care.
00:31:06But I was constantly hiding it.
00:31:09You know, there's a lot of heartache in that.
00:31:11Would you do anything different?
00:31:14I don't know, it was unavoidable.
00:31:16And the part that you don't understand is that you don't get to choose to be hurt, you just are.
00:31:23I get that.
00:31:24I do.
00:31:26So who's that guy out there?
00:31:29Yeah, it's useless, I can't hear anything.
00:31:32Probably just discussing the differences between boys and men.
00:31:36Wait, how do you know that?
00:31:37I wasn't being serious.
00:31:43Is that the girl you were telling me about?
00:31:45She's cute.
00:31:46Why are you so fascinated with my non-existent love life?
00:31:51Because you remind me of me when I was growing up.
00:31:54Because you remind me of me when I was growing up.
00:31:56A little shit running around like you knew everything when you didn't know anything.
00:32:01You're hilariously bad at this too, so you need all the help you can get, buddy.
00:32:06I don't need your help.
00:32:08I think you're right, I think it does get better.
00:32:11I just haven't lived that long yet.
00:32:13If you could see yourself in five or ten years, you'd have a different outlook.
00:32:18You seem really certain about my future, which is kind of creepy.
00:32:22All I'm saying is that you don't get to be so cynical.
00:32:26Not yet, at least.
00:32:27No one's going to wait around for you to figure out how you feel about them.
00:32:32Ever.
00:32:35You don't have to like me to know that I'm right, but I'm right.
00:32:39I don't even know if I like you.
00:32:40I don't know if I like you either.
00:32:43Let's go.
00:32:55How was girl talk? Are you going to fill me in on the secrets?
00:32:57I taught her how to throw a right hook. Do you want me to show you?
00:33:00Keep your secrets to yourself, I'm good.
00:33:02So where's this prom that you were talking about, huh? You really need to step it up.
00:33:06It's here.
00:33:10Great, it's broken.
00:33:13Can you hurry up and pick something already?
00:33:16You can't make an image. There's no light hitting the lens.
00:33:22About a working shutter, this thing's just an overpriced piece of junk.
00:33:26It's just a camera.
00:33:28It is not just a camera. This is a relic of how things used to be.
00:33:33People used to have to stop and look at their surroundings. They had to give a shit.
00:33:39Anyone can take 15 photos in a row. What does that say about the art?
00:33:45For being a little romantic.
00:33:47What's the alternative?
00:33:49The alternative is being a cynic like me.
00:33:53Don't get disappointed by anything because everything's already disappointing.
00:33:58How old are you?
00:33:5990.
00:34:01It's been hard.
00:34:08Looks like a great place for a wedding.
00:34:11If only people knew that marriage was the start of a long, brutal journey of tolerating the person they're with.
00:34:20Speaking from experience?
00:34:23Maybe you fared better?
00:34:25No, I just have lower expectations. That's how I stay happy.
00:34:31Congratulations on settling.
00:34:34No, I just expect someone to wash dishes, do the laundry, watch a movie and have sex with me.
00:34:42Semi-regularly.
00:34:45At least that's what most other guys think.
00:34:47It's a lot more than that.
00:34:51In reality, the day-to-day, that's it.
00:34:57But you want romance, earth-shattering, life-changing.
00:35:03It should be.
00:35:04And sometimes it is.
00:35:05And most times it's not.
00:35:09You want your royalty on a white steed?
00:35:13I was royalty in another universe.
00:35:17Should have just taken his picture like he asked. I didn't need you to fight him for me.
00:35:22I didn't fight him for you. I just told him the truth.
00:35:26And look how that went.
00:35:30It was great. Broken camera, punch to the face.
00:35:35The truth always wins.
00:35:37If not now, then in the future.
00:35:40Check this out.
00:35:47Right. Physics. You dig that kind of stuff.
00:35:50Just because you don't doesn't mean that you can't appreciate the amazingness of this.
00:35:56I'm impressed.
00:35:58You should be.
00:36:00What is cool about it is that these forks are actually defying their natural inclination.
00:36:04What is cool about it is that these forks are actually defying their natural inclination to move towards the earth.
00:36:08They are defying gravity.
00:36:10The laws of physics are being challenged at this table tonight.
00:36:15Excuse me.
00:36:16Oh.
00:36:17French fries for you and pancakes with jam.
00:36:21Enjoy.
00:36:22Mmm.
00:36:33This next year is going to be such a waste of my life.
00:36:37You could think about it in a little bit more of a positive way.
00:36:45Just in general.
00:36:47Please enlighten me.
00:36:49Well, for starters, the French fries are above average.
00:36:55The ambiance here is nice.
00:36:57Our waiter was fantastic.
00:36:59He wasted no time filling our glasses.
00:37:02There's a lot going for this moment.
00:37:05Okay.
00:37:07Okay, Mr. Positive.
00:37:14This is it.
00:37:16This is what?
00:37:18It's my favorite song.
00:37:31You should try this.
00:37:48You hear that?
00:37:56I hear it.
00:37:57Dance with me.
00:37:58No.
00:37:59You can't deny this song.
00:38:01You know this song.
00:38:02No, way past my pride.
00:38:03This is the song.
00:38:04No, no, no, no, no.
00:38:06Think of it as fun.
00:38:07You still know how to have fun, don't you?
00:38:09No, I can't dance, and I'm not going to dance.
00:38:13I'm not.
00:38:15I'm not.
00:38:17I don't know what you think you're doing.
00:38:19You're a little old and rusty, but I don't think you're beyond saving.
00:38:23Please.
00:38:24I can teach you.
00:38:25Please don't make me dance, please.
00:38:32Is this all right?
00:38:35You're holding me a little stiff, kind of like a porcupine.
00:38:37Well, you are a porcupine.
00:38:39King of the porcupines.
00:38:40Yeah.
00:38:45Listen.
00:38:48You've really been working on this.
00:38:51Sneaking out evenings and weekends.
00:38:54So that's where you've been.
00:39:15No.
00:39:29Just one more stop.
00:39:31I promise.
00:39:44Okay.
00:40:01Here we are.
00:40:02This is the place.
00:40:04We can see the pool from here.
00:40:08Something to print in your memory.
00:40:14That's all you're going to give me?
00:40:16I can't help you if you don't tell me what's going on.
00:40:19It was a good prom.
00:40:21It just doesn't solve anything.
00:40:24That's the end of the story?
00:40:27Are you just going to throw in the towel?
00:40:28This isn't one of your stories, Drew.
00:40:32Did you think that coming back here is just going to solve everything and make it all better?
00:40:39Liz, I don't know what to do.
00:40:41I don't know where to go.
00:40:43I feel like I've tried everything and you're not happy.
00:40:47Drew, I don't trust you anymore.
00:40:49You don't trust me?
00:40:50Like you never trust me or you don't trust me?
00:40:51I don't trust you and I thought that I would.
00:40:54You don't trust me.
00:40:55You know what?
00:40:56You're never going to change.
00:40:58People don't change.
00:41:00They don't.
00:41:01You know?
00:41:02Maybe they mature a little.
00:41:04Maybe their beliefs shift.
00:41:06But they don't change.
00:41:07Deep down they're always going to be exactly the same.
00:41:09And you are never going to change.
00:41:12I don't know what to do.
00:41:14I tried.
00:41:16I came here and I wanted to remember why we fell in love.
00:41:21But I didn't see it.
00:41:23I didn't.
00:41:24This whole thing was such a stupid idea.
00:41:26Coming back here?
00:41:28God, it was so stupid.
00:41:30Because this is just too hard.
00:41:32Marriage is supposed to be hard.
00:41:33Do you want to know what's hard?
00:41:35Waking up every morning and being alone while you're out doing whatever it is you do.
00:41:40I wake up to an empty bed.
00:41:42I make breakfast.
00:41:43I sit across the table from no one because I'm completely alone.
00:41:46Where are you?
00:41:47You know what makes me lonely?
00:41:48Is when I come home.
00:41:50And I come home to see you and you're not there.
00:41:53Being with somebody...
00:41:54That's so you'd understand I'm there waiting for you.
00:41:58You're not here.
00:41:59I have a question for you.
00:42:01How alone were you in Argentina?
00:42:10Why does this always come back to Argentina?
00:42:16Because that's when I stopped trusting you.
00:42:21That's when I stopped trusting you, Drew.
00:42:25You made me feel like the most alone I have ever felt in my entire life.
00:42:30And I don't think that you're sorry.
00:42:32I'm sorry.
00:42:33I'm sorry.
00:42:34That's just a word.
00:42:35Drew, that's all it is.
00:42:36I'm feeling it.
00:42:37That's not enough for me.
00:42:38I'm sorry.
00:42:39That's not enough for me.
00:42:40Words are not enough.
00:42:41You're enough.
00:42:42But you're enough for me.
00:42:43That's it.
00:42:44You're enough for me.
00:42:45I'm done.
00:42:46I can't do this anymore.
00:42:47You're enough for me.
00:42:48I'm done.
00:42:49Liz.
00:42:50Liz, you're right.
00:42:51People don't change.
00:42:52You don't trust me.
00:42:53You never trust me.
00:42:54You never let me in your walls.
00:42:55You don't change.
00:42:56And you never trusted me.
00:42:57And you never gave me a chance.
00:42:58I don't want to be married anymore.
00:42:59Great.
00:43:00We both agree on that.
00:43:01I don't want to be married.
00:43:02You don't want to be married.
00:43:03We're not married anymore.
00:43:04Everyone's happy.
00:43:05I'm happy.
00:43:06Fuck.
00:43:10Fuck.
00:43:16So why is this next year the worst year of your life?
00:43:19I already told you.
00:43:22Some of your friends are staying in town.
00:43:24That's not the point.
00:43:25It's about going to someplace different.
00:43:28I could be someone new.
00:43:29You know, be someone better.
00:43:32When I was 11, I had my whole life on the line.
00:43:37When I was 11, I had my whole life mapped out until I was 40.
00:43:41I had this big plan.
00:43:44And now that I'm staying here, I just don't know anymore.
00:43:52You ever think you could just let it go?
00:43:56What exactly does that mean, let it go?
00:43:59The future.
00:44:00Not worry about it.
00:44:03Is that what you do?
00:44:06I try.
00:44:07It's not that simple.
00:44:13What if it was?
00:44:15Just because you make it look easy doesn't mean it is.
00:44:19Just because I make it look easy doesn't mean that it is.
00:44:22Doesn't mean you can't do it.
00:44:26Maybe I'll try it sometime.
00:44:33Come on.
00:44:34We're going to try something.
00:44:35No, you're weird.
00:44:37Come on, get up.
00:44:46What are you doing?
00:44:47I used to do this all the time before SAT prep.
00:44:58Now you.
00:45:00No.
00:45:02I'm going to look like a moron.
00:45:04We'll be morons together.
00:45:08I don't know.
00:45:09If you succumb to peer pressure just this once, I swear I won't tell anyone.
00:45:23No, but like, seriously.
00:45:25Like, actually.
00:45:27Don't look at me.
00:45:29Stop.
00:45:31Seriously, just stop.
00:45:35I'm sorry, did you, did you do it?
00:45:39I didn't, I wasn't even paying attention.
00:45:42I'm a little hard at hearing.
00:45:52How was it?
00:45:54Good.
00:45:55Yeah?
00:45:56Weird, but good.
00:46:01Did you see that?
00:46:04What?
00:46:05No, you didn't see that?
00:46:06No.
00:46:07No, like right over there.
00:46:14What the hell, Andy?
00:46:16What are you thinking about?
00:46:17What am I thinking about?
00:46:18I can't swim.
00:46:20Then it's working.
00:46:21No, hurry, please.
00:46:23Please, seriously.
00:46:28Andy.
00:46:30Okay, now you're worried about your clothes?
00:46:32I'm just drowning.
00:46:33I'm just dying.
00:46:38Finally.
00:46:40Just three times, Riley.
00:46:43Nope.
00:46:44You can, I just ran.
00:46:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:46:49Is this some kind of a ploy?
00:46:50Yes, actually.
00:46:51I planned everything.
00:46:52I went back in time and got your parents together.
00:46:54I'm actually responsible for your existence.
00:46:56You know, I'm not one to be rushed.
00:46:58You know, I'm not one to be rescued.
00:46:59No?
00:47:00Okay, you'd prefer to do the rescue?
00:47:02I can just...
00:47:03No, no, Andy, Andy, Andy.
00:47:05Come on.
00:47:10I thought I was going to drown there.
00:47:11I was not going to get back to here.
00:47:14You do realize we're in the shallow.
00:47:23My dress is ruined now.
00:47:25It'll dry.
00:47:29You could have died.
00:47:32I wouldn't have let that happen.
00:47:34How can you be so sure that you wouldn't have let that happen?
00:47:37Because I can't imagine a world without you.
00:47:58I'm sorry.
00:47:59I'm sorry.
00:48:28So whose room is this?
00:48:41It's Henry's.
00:48:42He thought he was getting laid tonight.
00:48:47He's not here.
00:48:48Well, what if he comes back?
00:48:49Does he have a key?
00:48:50He's still at the party.
00:48:52The guy's on a mission.
00:48:54Poor Henry.
00:48:58Come on.
00:49:28Come on.
00:49:58Come on.
00:50:44Hi.
00:50:48I like what you did with the place.
00:50:51I just expected Anna and I to go a lot different than this.
00:51:03The rose petals are a little dramatic.
00:51:06You like them?
00:51:09I do.
00:51:13Did you see it?
00:51:16No.
00:51:21Yeah, me too.
00:51:34Don't lose it.
00:51:41I won't.
00:51:50Mm.
00:52:02There was all this wonder in their eyes.
00:52:09Discovery.
00:52:13That was us.
00:52:15Yeah.
00:52:16Once upon a time.
00:52:21Yeah.
00:52:32I don't care if it's this horrible cycle where we fight, we make up, we fight.
00:52:40I don't care how many times we have to go through that as long as we get to the part where we make up.
00:52:51My husband spends a lot of time away.
00:52:57Taking pictures and writing these fascinating stories about people all over the world.
00:53:09And he feels alive.
00:53:14More alive than when he is with me.
00:53:17But I don't appreciate him when he's home.
00:53:21And I should try.
00:53:28Oh, the marriage.
00:53:32Otherwise known as adjusting expectations for adults.
00:53:36You are the greatest story I have ever known.
00:53:51I'm sorry.
00:53:56I'm sorry.
00:53:59I'm sorry.
00:54:02I'm sorry.
00:54:06I'm sorry.
00:54:18Do you remember that assignment that I was going to take in South Africa?
00:54:25What did you do?
00:54:26I turned it down.
00:54:28You know, it's just, it's always this story after the next story after the next story.
00:54:33And five years has gone by and I haven't taken a break.
00:54:37But you wanted to do it.
00:54:39There's always another story.
00:54:46I hate you.
00:54:50As you said.
00:54:57Did you do this for me?
00:55:04For us.
00:55:08God, you are such a dork.
00:55:12What will your husband think?
00:55:15I think he's going to be really upset.
00:55:22Yeah.
00:55:25Good.
00:55:26Maybe he'll throw some shit around.
00:55:28Maybe he'll throw some shit around.
00:55:59Don't look at me, I feel naked.
00:56:04I'm blind now.
00:56:07Precisely.
00:56:10Well, don't look at me, I feel naked.
00:56:12Okay, fine.
00:56:13Close your eyes.
00:56:14God.
00:56:16I'm sorry.
00:56:18I'm sorry.
00:56:20I'm sorry.
00:56:22I'm sorry.
00:56:24I'm sorry.
00:56:25I'm sorry.
00:56:26I'm sorry.
00:56:28Are your eyes closed?
00:56:29Yes.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:32Now what?
00:56:36Whoever can't come up with a question loses the game.
00:56:43Why are we playing this game?
00:56:46How else are we going to deal with what just happened?
00:56:50What just happened?
00:56:52Where were we before we were here?
00:56:54You don't know?
00:56:56Are you trying to make me mad?
00:56:59Didn't I save your life?
00:57:03What are you thinking?
00:57:05Why did you kiss me?
00:57:16Do you want me to kiss you?
00:57:27You lost the game.
00:57:30Okay, I lost the game.
00:57:38Remember that hot dog we buried?
00:57:43What are you talking about?
00:57:47You don't remember?
00:57:51The barbecue at your dad's place when we were like six.
00:57:54Labor Day weekend.
00:57:57Oh my God, that was forever ago.
00:58:03Your mom made us this huge pitcher of pink lemonade.
00:58:07And you drank half of it yourself, you fatty.
00:58:12My dad gave you the bigger hot dog.
00:58:15It was probably the biggest hot dog there. It was bigger than your face.
00:58:18No, it was bigger than your face.
00:58:20And you had a pretty big face when you were little.
00:58:23Compared to your body.
00:58:25I ate like 25% of it.
00:58:28Yeah, but you didn't want to throw it away.
00:58:30I had a better plan.
00:58:31To bury it.
00:58:35You thought it would grow into a hot dog tree.
00:58:39You were into it.
00:58:41No.
00:58:42I remember thinking it was the stupidest thing at the time.
00:58:45We were definitely partners in crime on that one.
00:58:49As a matter of fact, if I remember correctly,
00:58:51you wanted to plant flowers on our little hot dog grave.
00:58:56Cornelius dug it up 20 minutes later and dropped it at my dad's feet.
00:59:00Cornelius.
00:59:02And your dad, what does he do?
00:59:05He just picks it up and starts waving it around like a sword and goes,
00:59:09Is this your wiener, young man?
00:59:13So serious.
00:59:15I think I almost cried.
00:59:17You did cry.
00:59:19For like an hour.
00:59:22It's so funny how you can remember a hot dog from 10 years ago,
00:59:27but you can't remember what happened yesterday.
00:59:31You were wearing this yellow t-shirt and these ridiculous overalls
00:59:37that were like rolled up 12 times up to your knee.
00:59:43It was green, not yellow.
00:59:45It was yellow, I remember.
00:59:48Because you were doing this whole sailor moon prism thing on me.
00:59:57How do you remember that?
00:59:59When it's quiet.
01:00:03I can remember anything.
01:00:11Well, aren't you cool?
01:00:14Yeah, pretty much.
01:00:19Time's a funny thing.
01:00:23Sometimes I do this thing
01:00:30where I cover my eyes and I count down from seven.
01:00:37And when I hit one, I pretend I disappeared.
01:00:44You just go away?
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:51Can I come with you?
01:00:58Okay.
01:01:02Close your eyes.
01:01:08Seven.
01:01:10Six.
01:01:11Five.
01:01:14Four.
01:01:15Three.
01:01:18Two.
01:01:20One.
01:01:38You were still here.
01:01:40Shut up.
01:01:41Okay.
01:02:11Well, well, well.
01:02:15Nothing happened.
01:02:17Oh, I know. It's written all over your face.
01:02:21I was playing with you.
01:02:25Why are you still here?
01:02:31Reconciling time and space.
01:02:35No, but seriously.
01:02:37Oh, I'm serious.
01:02:43I'm going to Stanford in September.
01:02:49And your girlfriend's staying here?
01:02:51She's not my girlfriend, but yeah.
01:02:53So really, you're asking yourself, is it worth it?
01:02:56I'm not saying it's not worth it.
01:02:58Look, man, I get it.
01:03:01I was you once.
01:03:03I get it.
01:03:05I was you once.
01:03:07You just gotta live.
01:03:10Feel it out.
01:03:11You know, this isn't some giant test.
01:03:13There's nothing to study for, so...
01:03:16There's no right answers.
01:03:18Life's gonna take you a lot of places.
01:03:21Just don't forget the people you love.
01:03:24You know, you're not such a bad guy.
01:03:27You mean I might actually be a nice guy like you?
01:03:31Don't push it.
01:03:39Ah, shit.
01:03:43Who are you talking to?
01:03:45I'm not talking to you.
01:03:47I'm not talking to you.
01:03:49I'm not talking to you.
01:03:52Who are you talking to out there?
01:03:57Just myself.
01:03:59Weirdo.
01:04:02I gotta get that fixed.
01:04:05Just hold on a second.
01:04:12Try it now.
01:04:15Holy shit, it works.
01:04:17I fixed it.
01:04:18How did you do that?
01:04:19Well, you see, the self-timer and the spring for the shutter are connected,
01:04:23so it wasn't broken, it just was stuck.
01:04:26You just unstuck it, see?
01:04:33I like fixing and building things.
01:04:37I like fixing and building things.
01:04:45If you could build anything, anything at all, what would it be?
01:04:57I promise you won't laugh.
01:05:00I promise.
01:05:07Okay.
01:05:10So.
01:05:13This here is the chamber.
01:05:20And inside of it is another one.
01:05:24Basically, all around us are tiny wormholes.
01:05:29They're so small that we can't even see them.
01:05:31But what this machine would be able to do
01:05:33would be to combine those wormholes together to make a big one.
01:05:37So that way, we would be able to push negative energy and atoms
01:05:41from one wormhole to the next, through a universe.
01:05:45So, essentially, if it worked, then we'd be pushing matter through time.
01:05:50Sometimes I wonder how it will come out on the other side.
01:05:53I think we'd still be us, but different.
01:05:59That's amazing.
01:06:02I think everyone's going to think I'm crazy.
01:06:04I don't think you're crazy.
01:06:06Well, it's because you're crazy, too.
01:06:08Yeah.
01:06:11All right, bye.
01:06:31Bye.
01:06:47Where would you go?
01:06:50If you could use it.
01:06:53I'd probably go back.
01:06:55Tell myself not to worry as much.
01:06:59But let's be real, it'd probably make me worry more.
01:07:03Hm.
01:07:25All right. Let's go.
01:07:28I'm almost ready.
01:07:30I said, let's go.
01:07:31No looking.
01:07:32All right. T-minus five minutes to blast off. Let's get out of here.
01:07:34Okay. Two seconds.
01:07:36I have to be clothed when we leave.
01:07:39Some would say.
01:07:41Okay. Ready?
01:07:44So, are you staying here all summer?
01:07:47Pretty much.
01:07:49You're not going to ditch L.A. and go backpack across Europe anyway?
01:07:55I don't think so. I'll be here.
01:07:58Maybe you're right. There's something to it.
01:08:01I gotta look back and think that this is some magic time.
01:08:05You know what I mean?
01:08:09I know exactly what you mean.
01:08:15Do you think they know about us?
01:08:17No. They're too stupid.
01:08:19Hey.
01:08:20What? They're aren't. They're stupid little kids.
01:08:22Okay.
01:08:24How do I look?
01:08:25Stupid.
01:08:26That's not very nice.
01:08:32Hey.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:36I don't have to go to this journalism program.
01:08:39You don't know if she got in.
01:08:44You want to just hang this summer?
01:08:47You've been trying to ask me that all night?
01:08:51No. Maybe.
01:08:55I mean, I know you just broke up with Dave and it's not really-
01:08:58You don't have to hang out with me just because you feel bad for me.
01:09:01No, no. That's not why.
01:09:04Okay.
01:09:06Huh?
01:09:08Okay. Let's hang out this summer.
01:09:12Really?
01:09:14Yeah.
01:09:15Awesome.
01:09:17Great.
01:09:18Excellent.
01:09:20I can come over like after that morning practice just at the theater to-
01:09:24Why, thank you.
01:09:44There they go.
01:09:49Hey.
01:09:51Hey.
01:09:52Hey.
01:09:57Okay.
01:09:59Are you ready?
01:10:00Go for it.
01:10:03Seven.
01:10:05Six.
01:10:06Five.
01:10:07Four.
01:10:08Three.
01:10:09What is this? What did you put in my pocket?
01:10:14Two.
01:10:17One.
01:10:23Smile.
01:10:24Why can't you?
01:10:29I can't say it because for me
01:10:33If you weren't here, I'd be worse.
01:10:39Every time I think of you
01:10:42When I wake up, you know what?
01:10:44I hope one day you'll be there
01:10:47Next to me and in my arms
01:10:49Every time I think of you
01:10:52And in my dreams, you're there
01:10:54I'm in your arms
01:10:57And you're only mine
01:11:10My little heart, how much I love you
01:11:15I'm crazy about you
01:11:20But you're not here and I'm here
01:11:23These aren't my dreams anymore
01:11:26So I'm waiting for you
