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