Ah!
There she is.
Bonjour.
- Bonjour. - How are you?
- I'm fine. - You look well.
- Thank you. - Sorry to keep you waiting like this.
The roads were a nightmare, and each one was as bad.
- So I apologize. - It's all right, my dear.
One can never be sure, not ever.
That is the mystery of life.
- That's so French. - What is?
That sort of,
you know, existential attitude you've got,
even about traffic in L.A.
"One can never be sure."
Oh, very good, mon cher.
No. But you know I'm right.
It is a very French thing to say.
Perhaps.
That too.
Especially when you're wrong,
you don't tell the other person that they may be right.
You just say "perhaps."
Perhaps.
You already know me too well,
even after just 10 minutes together and after so long.
Ah, not really.
It's just a year.
Is that all?
Yes. About that, anyway. It was
this time last December that I went back home.
It goes so quickly these days.
Yes.
Anyway, it's the holidays.
That's why the roads are so jammed up.
So, sorry again.
So, what's new with you?
Oh, I'm fine.
Good, good.
And your son? What was his name again?
- Robbie. - Robbie. That's it.
Yes. He is well.
His birthday was recently.
He's a teenager, so he's dealing with all of that.
Hey. That's great. What did you get him?
Sorry?
For a present, I mean.
Oh.
You know, this and that.
Always so secretive, you are.
A little, perhaps.
I suppose that's a French thing as well, is it?
No. No.
That is just me being a woman, I think.
Yes. Yeah. That's true.
So, um, what about you? What's going on in your life?
Uh, just things.
You're taunting me now, being as coy as myself.
Never. Never. I could never compete.
I know. That is probably very true.
Well, then I won't.
M... I'm back here for a while.
Uh-huh.
I'm not sure, actually. The woman I'm seeing,
uh, she was married before,
and her ex was killed
- in a plane crash. - Oh.
I'm so sorry.
Yes. Yes. Me too. It's...
it's awful.
He had two very sweet children, and...
I don't know. Looks like they're going to be heading back
to their grandparents on the east coast, I believe. But
for now, Bridgette's jumped in
and volunteered to be with them, help them,
you know, just try and do whatever she can do.
Family agreed, so here I am, following her back here,
where we first met.
She used to be their nanny, so...
Ah. Interesting.
It's funny how these things happen,
how they connect.
What's that?
Nothing. Just how life goes in these
odd little circles sometimes, you know?
That's true enough. Little swirls.
Well, at least it worked its magic
to bring us back together for a bit
to talk about books again and flirt and enjoy today.
Yes. That's true enough.
Although I, uh...
- What's that? - ... I can't do much flirting, not anymore. I, uh...
- No? - I...
Like I said, I'm with someone now, so, you know...
- How nice. - Yeah.
- So am I. - Oh, yes?
A younger man, if I know you.
So, this woman of yours...
do you love her?
More than anyone I've ever known, yes.
- But then again, you are very young. - Ah.
- That's true. Very true. - Yes.
It's not a crime, just a reality.
You're absolutely right.
But I do love her, Celeste.
And...
It looks like we might be having a baby together.
It's early days, now.
Oh, no. So soon?
No. I, uh... it's...
It's quite complicated. It almost
happened before, actually, uh...
Anyway, that's the story.
- I only just found out myself, so... - Mm.
Then I'm very happy for you, Tim.
Thank you.
A... and you? And you're well?
Uh, what's... what's going on? Are you still teaching?
Oh, yes. Always that.
- Good. - The children.
Yes. Good. Me too.
I... I mean, I will be when I get back home.
Although if Bridgette and I do get married anytime soon,
then... well,
anytime, then I guess I'll be able to teach here as well.
We've barely discussed it, but who knows?
Who knows?
Life is so long and filled with...
god, so many choices.
It feels like it's never going to get going sometimes.
And yet it's also like that sometimes as well...
fleeting.
That's very true.
Hey.
You're supposed to wash your hands
when you finish taking a shit.
You should know that,
being a piece of shit yourself.
What the fuck are you doing here?
I thought I was pretty clear when I talked
- to you la... - This.
This is what I'm doing here.
Wait.
Please.
- Just don't do anything, okay? - Wash your hands.
Go ahead.
There. You see?
Is that all right?
It's good.
Everybody shut up!
Shut the fuck up. Get out. Come around here.
Get around here.
Down.
Get down. Down! Everybody! Sit.
Sit right there. Just sit... sit for a second. Let me think.
Oh, my god. It's that guy.
I know.
What should we do?
Celeste?
Let's just do what he says for now.
Let them go.
What?
Some... some of them. Please, just...
At least all the women!
They haven't done anything to you!
How do you know that?
You do not know my life, asshole,
so you shut the fuck up right now
and keep your arms wrapped around your wife.
See if that keeps her safe.
- Please, okay?! - Oh fuck "please."
Fuck "Please"!
I've said "please."
I have said "please" plenty of times.
I said it to that shithead I just killed in the bathroom.
He said it to me.
Didn't do a goddamn thing either time.
Fuck "Please."
Oh, to hell with it.
No.
Hey, remember me?
- No. - You're lying!
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah. Of course you do.
You remember how you used to make fun of me?
Remember the songs that I'd write?
- I didn't... - Bullshit you didn't!
I walked in here one time and I saw you over there,
and you were singing my songs for your buddies,
making them laugh.
- Remember that? - No.
Yes.
I do.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - Yeah.
Good.
Everybody shut up! Facedown!
Heads facedown!
So...
Here we are now.
Tell me why you want to live.
Come on. That's way better than... than asking for mercy.
Go ahead.
Please! Sir!
I'm not a "sir."
Ple... my... my husband is sick.
Oh, yeah? With what?
- Cancer. - Is that right?
- Yes. Yes. - Is that right?
- Yes. - Yeah? You have cancer?
- Yes. Yes. - Yeah?
Well, good news is now he may not die from it.
- No. No. - Look at your wife.
- No! No! - Oh, my god!
Look at your wife!
Look at your wife and tell her "thank you."
Tell her "thank you".
Do it. Right now. Right now.
Now!
Thank you.
She just saved your ass.
She just saved your ass, motherfucker.
No one would do that for me.
No one would do that for me, not in my entire life.
I got a wife.
I had a wife,
and she left me. She took my kids.
I went to see her before I came here, just so you know.
Hi.
Hey.
What's your name again?
- Suzie. - Yeah.
- Suzie Carpenter. - Suzie Carpenter.
Come here.
Suzie Carpenter, you can go.
- What? - You can go.
- You want to live, don't you? - Yes.
Well, then get the hell out of here.
You were nice to me, so go.
Go. Go.
Oh, man.
Now we are really fucked.
'Cause if nobody else called the cops,
you know she's going to.
Ah.
Hey.
Hi.
Hello.
So...
You never called me.
No, I didn't.
Well, that's okay.
That's okay.
It doesn't matter now. You can go.
No. No. No. No. No. No.
Not you. Her.
Just her.
Not without my husband.
That's not an option.
Then I'm staying.
Then I'm killing him right now.
Sweetie, just...
Just leave.
Just...
I love you, Trent.
I love you.
Tell the kids...
Tell the kids I love them.
Okay.
You'd better get the hell out of here.
Thank you.
For what?
For what you just did. It was...
It was, uh...
... decent.
Good.
Shut the fuck up!
Everybody! Shh. Shh. Shh.
Hey.
Now, why do you want to live?
Um, because... because I don't want to die.
Oh.
That's not a reason.
- Okay. - Give me a reason.
Uh...
Because I'm, uh...
I said give me a reason, motherfucker!
I don't know! Because...
because I don't deserve to die like this!
Okay. Nobody deserves to die.
But that doesn't seem to be helping anybody, does it?
Fuck, I don't know! Please don't!
Oh.
Please don't!
Put your head down.
God. You fucking coward.
Shut up!
Everybody facedown.
- Celeste. - No.
Celeste, what are you doing?!
Lady, sit down. Sit down, lady.
- No. No. - Get back down.
- Listen. That... listen. - Hey! Stop it.
- Stop moving right now. - Listen.
- What?
- This must end now. - Why?
It must. Because it has to. It should.
Lady, shut... shut the fuck up and lay down.
No.
- Sit down. - No. I cannot.
- Lady, you're fucking crazy. - No, I am not.
But I also know I will not die here.
Oh, yeah?
- Yeah? You know that for sure, do you? - Yes.
Yes. That's true.
Okay. And how do you know a fucking thing like that?
Please enlighten me.
My son.
What?
My son told me I would live for a long time,
longer than this. I told him,
"I will be with you for a long time,"
and he told me, "I know you will."
That means nothing.
- Sit down. - No.
Listen to me. Sit...
- Down. - No.
Celeste, will you just sit the fuck down?!
No. I cannot. I know what I must do now.
Listen to me.
Let me come to you, talk to you,
- soothe your spirit. - Lady, do not take another fucking step.
I mean it.
See?
Another step, and nothing bad has happened.
My son was right.
Good.
Celeste.
Celeste!
Shut the fuck up. Stop!
Stop! Stop!
You. Stand up.
Stand up.
W... what do you want me to do?
Nothing. Just stand there.
Are you English? You sound English.
I am, yes.
Wait. Your mom didn't sound English.
She's not my mother.
I mean... wasn't.
She was a friend.
Okay.
Her name was Celeste.
Got it. No. Wait. So... oh.
You're not the one who told her that she'd live forever?
No.
That... that was her son.
Ah. I see. Uh-huh.
Well, I guess he was wrong.
And you're just a friend, and you just came here for lunch.
God. Well, you really picked a shitty day for it.
Oh, man.
So this is it.
Got a girlfriend, boyfriend,
some person that you love?
Yes.
Yeah?
You love them a lot?
More than anything in the world.
I gave her up once,
and I was lucky enough to get her back. So...
Yes.
I love her completely.
Forever,
no matter what happens here.
That is nice.
That is really nice.
And these people here...
do you know any of them?
I mean, you know, besides...
No.
- I don't. - Okay. Okay.
So, let me ask you this.
If I told you that you...
you could save all of them,
these folks right here,
if I kill you, or...
or save yourself
if you tell me to kill them...
... what do you think you'd pick?
Come on.
Don't think about it too long. Just pick one.
I'd pick them.
Huh.
Oh, wait. Wait. Which...
I mean, to live or to die? Which one?
To die.
I'd tell you to kill them instead of me.
All of them.
Are you sure?
Yes.
If... if you force me to choose, then yes.
Good.
You can thank that asshole over there for this, sweetheart.
Yes.
No. No, don't come down here.
Please don't. No. They...
they need me here for a little bit longer, I think.
Yeah.
I'll call you as soon as I'm finished. I will.
Yeah.
I love you, too, Bridgette.
Okay. All right. I've got to go.
Bye.
S... sorry about that.
Don't apologize. You've just been through a lot.
Yes.
Okay. So,
I've just been speaking with people,
and I need you to tell me about what happened in here
at the end.
Y... you mean...
Which part?
About what you said to him,
the shooter.
I...
he asked me to choose.
He asked...
He asked me to pick between myself and them.
And?
I did.
I picked one.
I see.
And which one did you pick?
You already know the answer to that.
I do, yes.
But I need to hear you say it
just so I know for sure.
Okay?
I'll let you think about it.
