(elegant orchestral music)
(loosening tongue)
- Perfect.
Oh.
Ann and Steven!
Okay over, down and then left.
- I do.
I do.
- You're gonna crush it.
What could go wrong?
(camera clicking)
- Caroline and Tiffany.
The seating cards should have been placed 20 minutes ago.
Come on, ba ba ba ba ba!
Oh, have you gotten one of us together yet?
(camera clicks)
Ah, perfect.
Emma, you done?
- Mom.
It's too hot to function.
- I'm not the one
who wanted to get hitched in August, honey.
Oh Mom, can you zip up Lucy?
Oh my god is the air even on?
They promised me a crisp 68 degrees!
- Is this the kitchen?
- Do I look like a refrigerator to you?
Go on, ba ba ba ba ba.
It's down the hall to the left.
Ask for Chef Souza.
Where'd the twins go?
We can't start without flower girls.
- Mom. - What?
Okay.
Have you practiced your vows yet?
You know what?
Say 'em to Grandma.
'Cause I have to make a call.
- Is this the kitchen?
- Oh.
- You better get lost before it's too late.
Something new.
And it helps with the nerves too.
- The flutist isn't texting me back.
Can you help me, please?
(soft crying)
(sniffling)
- So.
You sure you're okay?
'Cause you kinda, look look like you got stung
by an emotional bee.
(laughs)
But you look fabulous.
That dress?
Wow.
- Mom's dress. - I know.
And it really stands the test of time.
- Emma.
- You're channeling like 1988 in a very strong way.
That's a very underrated year for fashion.
- You don't have to do this.
- Look, I know it's a lot, but you don't have to do this.
And if you do want to marry Charlie,
then we'll just take a deep breath and then we'll get
right back out there.
- You and I, we don't do this, you don't have...
I'm gonna be fine.
You don't have to do this, you have no obligation here.
- Oh I don't?
Oh.
Whew.
Cool, see ya.
(door shuts)
(pensive music)
(knocking)
- This isn't the kitchen!
- It's me, dumb head.
Come on.
Albert to the rescue.
(gasps)
Let's get outta here.
(light music)
Oh, this is the kitchen.
Excuse us, sorry.
Oh, that's actually, hey thank you so much.
- Emma, come on, let's go, let's go!
- Okay.
Okay, alright.
He's all yours m'lady.
- You want me to drive?
- You want me to come with you?
- Yeah, I can't go by myself.
- Wha...
Okay.

- You have to reach in. - What?
Oh my god. - Just reach in and pull the--
- Why can't you just have a normal car?
- Just pull it.
He's not a normal car, he's Albert.
Alright.
- Why does it smell weird?
What's happening?
- It's just... (sighs)
- Emma. - Don't.
- You've gotta be kidding me.
- Shh, Albert, come on!
- Albert?
- Ready, come on sweet Albie.

Let's just, maybe we should just...
Nope. - Nope, no,

- There are people.
Emma, just, I can't be seen.
- Be cool, be cool, be cool.
Be cool, be cool.
- What if Mom finds out-- - Act cool dude.
- I am acting cool.
You are not acting cool.
Oh my gosh.
- Okay.
Okay we do have to go directly by the church so--
- Why are there people there?
- So get down, get down, get down.
- There's people there, you think they saw me?
- Oh my god they all saw you.
- Oh my god!
- I'm just kidding, nobody saw you.
- Emma-- - No stay down.
- Okay.
Oh god.
Okay I'm down, I'm down, I'm just...
(laughing)
Oh my god, oh my god.
- Why did you have to make your wedding
at like the busiest time in the morning?
- I don't know why is--
- There are so many people, hold on.
- Oh my god there are so many people.
Oh my god.
Shh, shh, shh, be cool, be cool.
- It's okay, we're just driving.

(laughing)
- I think those have been in my car since like eighth grade.
(crying)
- I can't even cry right.
What's happening to me?
- Okay, okay.
- It's like a weird cry laugh.
- That happens sometimes.
- Why?
- I don't know, I think that we should pull over though.
- Okay. - Yeah, you think so?
I think that that would be good.
We'll fix it.
Gonna fix it.
Okay, it's time for the backpack.
Do you remember the breakup rules?
- I created the breakup rules for you,
do you remember that?
- Mm hmm. - What's this?
- Rule number one.
- This is not part of the rules.
(sings)
Alcohol. - Mm hmm.
- Wait you just like have that handy?
Hey hey hey you're driving!
- Fine.
- Here.
- Ooh, okay, good.
(coughing)
(sighs)
(breathing deeply)
- How long do you think we have?
- For what?
- Until every friend and family member hates me.
- Don't worry about it, okay?
I handled it.
- I think I should call Charlie.
- Um, yes, you should.
But first you need your strength.
Rule number two.
- Chocolate. - Mm hmm.
- Oh god.
Oh god.
Mm.
My god.
This is the best chocolate I've had
in a really long time. - I know.
Okay.
You get one, very short phone call.
- Mm hmm.
- Okay?
I don't want us getting deterred from rule number three.
- Mm hmm.
Just give it to me. - Okay.
- You know, I can't do this when you're looking at me.
(laughs)
- Right, no, good one.
Okay.
(phone ringing)
(phone vibrating)
- It's her.
Millie?
I'm so glad you called.
I'm so nervous, you know?
And how are you, are you okay?
How are you feeling?
It's a good thing you didn't video chat me.
Right, it's bad luck to see the bride
before the wedding and all that, so
I don't think hearing your voice counts though--
- Charlie.
- Sorry, rambling.
Yes, my darling bride.
God you know soon I can say wife.
Okay hold on one second.
- He put me on hold.
- What?
- [Flower Girls] Thanks Charlie.
- Hey, sorry about that.
Found some stray flower girls.
So how are you?
Millie?
- I...wanted to tell you...
That I can't marry you.
- What?
Millie where are you?
- I can't...I can't see you.
I just wanted you to hear it from me.
- Millie what are you talking about?
Can you just tell me where you are?
I'll come to wherever you are.
You know and you should really see the sanctuary,
it's so perfect.
I feel like I can just see us up there and the pews
are wrapped in lavender, it's your favorite.
- No I can't, I can't.
I can't go, I can't come back, I can't.
- Of course you can, you can do it.
Mills.
Remember junior prom?
We were all dressed up and they had it outside
but it's May and May means rain in Kansas.
- Yeah it poured so hard.
- [Charlie] And we just stayed in my car.
- I thought we were gonna get hit by lightning.
- [Charlie] Just we talked, you know?
We talked for hours.
- Yeah.
It was perfect.
- [Charlie] Millie you and I, we're perfect.
- Oh god Charlie.
It just doesn't feel like it's perfect anymore.
- Millie all of these people are waiting
for us to get married.
- Well this is about us, this isn't about them.
- [Charlie] If it's about us then what's the problem?
We're meant to be together.
(pensive music)
- I don't know.
I don't know about that.
- [Charlie] I can't believe this is happening.
- I can't either.
- [Charlie] Can you just tell me where you are?
We need to talk about this.
- I'm sorry.
Charlie I-- (phone goes dead)
(honking)
- So?
- I'm even more confused now.
- Okay well...
There's no turning back now.
The damage is done.
- I apologized to him.
- What?
Ugh.
Jerk. - What?
No.
No he's hurting, just like me.
I feel terrible.
- It's gonna be okay.
Trust the system.
Ooh, there she is.
Alright, rule number three, new look.
So let's get you out of this situation.
Millie, how are you breathing?
- I'm not.
- Oh god Jesus Christ!
Out, out!
¶ Ta da
- What?
You couldn't have worn these in the wedding?
- Oh you couldn't have worn these to the wedding?
Hold that.
- Why do you have a ukulele in there?
- You never know when the mood's gonna strike, you know?
- No.
What are these from your failed
t-shirt for millennial business?
- I wouldn't say failed.
You know what?
- You know what?
I'm good. - Dude it's clean.
- It's been in the back of Albert.
- These look like you.
- Look, let's put your ukulele back.
This thing.
- It's just a beautiful brassiere,
I don't know what your issue is.
What are you...
Serio...oh my god, you are the prudest person ever,
you know that?
Okay.
You're super covered now, I can't see anything.
- Hey. - Hmm?
- What about Mom?
- Oh, don't worry.
It's all handled.
(light music)
Come on, you know what step four is.
- What if I want to look at them again?
- No, no, you have to delete it all.
Out with the old, in with the new.
Yep.
- Did these rules even work for you?
Because trying them on for the first time,
I gotta be honest.
I think I may not have known what I was doing.
- Just trust the system.
- Alright well...
I'm sure you have a plan.
- We are going to, wait for it, Grandma's house.
- What?
- Yeah.
Well come on.
You've always loved it at the farm.
- No I really haven't, I'm not a farm girl.
- Well once a farm girl, always a farm girl.
- Except for I was never a farm girl.
That was always you out with Grandma, you know?
Playing with the chickens and goats and fish, ugh.
I mean is Grandma okay with it?
- Of course.
Why, do you have a better idea?
- No.
(phone vibrating)
Oh god, it's Mom.
Emma please, I don't want to.
- I can't take it. - I don't wanna take it.
Please?
- No, I'm driving a car.
(clears throat)
- Hi Mom.
- [Mom] Where in the absolute heck are you?
- I'm with Emma.
- Okay well that's great but you gotta get your butt
back upstairs, you've got a wedding to perform.
- You said that you handled this.
- I did.
I did.
I did, I texted her.
- You texted her? - Yeah.
- You texted her?
- Oh Jesus. - What?
- Oh Jesus.
- What?
- Um it didn't go all the way through.
- Emma, are you kidding me?
You are a nincompoop!
- Millie, Millie, Millie.
What's going on?
We're all waiting!
- I'm so sorry Mom.
Emma and I, we can't...we can't come back.
I can't marry Charlie.
- Calm down, everyone calm down!
Are you alright?
Are you physically alright?
- Yeah.
- Then what the heck is wrong with you?
Is this Emma's idea?
- No, no.
Look I'm so sorry Mom, I--
- You can save your apologies for your prayers,
Mildren Haven.
Have you thought about this at all?
- [Millie] Yes!
Of course I have.
(string quartet music)
- Really?
'Cause it doesn't seem that way.
Can you please keep it down?
Honey, I know that this is a very stressful day for you
and it's also gonna be the best day of your life
and you've put me in a little bit of a pickle.
- I'm sorry Mom.
- Have you talked to Charlie?
How does he feel about all this?
- How does Charlie feel?
Mom have you even asked me how I feel, do you care?
- Of course I do sweetheart, it's just...
You couldn't come up with this revelation
just a couple of months ago
before I paid all the deposits?
I gotta go sweetheart I got a lot to do, okay?
I'll talk to you later.
- Okay look, I am really-- (phone goes dead)
What the hell Emma?
- I said I'm sorry!
- No you haven't!
- Okay well I am.
How's Mom, is she okay?
- Oh my god how is Mom?
How about me?
How about how is Millie?
I just left my wedding.
- Hey Millie, how are you?
- No, don't ask me now, I don't want you to ask me now!
- Shh, take some deep breaths, just nice deep breaths.
I know exactly what you need.
(upbeat pop rock music)
- This song?
- Yeah.
- This is what you thought I needed?
(feedback squealing)
- Um.
There's been a change of plans.
("Face in the Moon" by Springtime Carnivore)
- Millie.
Come on, quick pit stop.
- Emma, no I'm really not in the mood.
- Come on, it'll be fun.
¶ You're standing there
¶ Brushing the comets out of your hair
¶ Are you coming back to her
Yeah okay. - Okay.
¶ For a little while
¶ You think that love
¶ Always rises out of your reach
¶ It's a cold and distant thing
¶ You can barely see
¶ Calling to the dark
¶ Is anybody out there
- Woo!
¶ Is anybody out there
Come on Millie!
¶ That's when I fall apart
You gotta try this!
¶ I'm the one right here
¶ Oh I hope you see it soon
(phone vibrating)
¶ Are you gonna find that
¶ Face in the moon
- Look Millie, I'm giving you some time.
Just say the word and I'm there.
I love you.
I hope to talk to you soon.
¶ You don't like it easy
¶ No no
¶ You don't like sure
¶ I press my hands to the glass
¶ Of the revolving door
¶ All your pain
¶ You're spinning like a weathervane
¶ And you know I would be
¶ The end of your storm
¶ Calling to the dark
¶ Is anybody out there
¶ That's when I fall apart
¶ I'm the one right here
¶ Oh I hope you see it soon
- I applied to law school.
In DC.
¶ Are you gonna find that face in the moon
- What?
No way!
Do Mom and Dad know?
- No.
I haven't told them, I haven't told anyone.
Oh Charlie would kill me if he knew.
He wants to put a down payment on a house.
Well he wanted to.
But if I get in, I would move in the fall.
- Millie that is such a big deal.
- I know.
(laughing)
There is this historic prosecutor who lectures there.
I'd really like to be the tough guy.
- You are a tough guy.
(laughing)
- Yeah, we'll see.
- You're gonna be a real grown up.
- I don't know about that.
Charlie and I spent so much time talking about Tupperware
and sofas and cable providers.
- Mmm, cable providers.
Sounds like such a sexy time, I hope you used protection.
- [Millie] Ha ha.
- No really, I had this one friend who dabbled
in cable providers and got a nasty...
- [Millie] Okay, got it.
- It sounds nice.
- Yeah it was nice.
Just wasn't what I thought it'd be.
Everything's different now.
- Hey remember our girl gang?
- Yeah I still have the lyric book.
- Only the greatest punk rock band there ever was.
- Mom must have thought we were actually insane.
- Oh I will never forget you in those platform sneakers
telling her off.
I object!
Emma has as much right to a crop top as anyone!
You were a lawyer even then.
Really proud of you.
- I haven't gotten in yet.
- You will.
- This is so weird.
Emma, you and me.
We don't talk anymore.
(soft country music)
- Steven used to be obsessed with this song.
Used to say that it reminded him of me.
- Yeah whatever happened to Steven?
- We grew apart.
- I'm sorry babe.
- Dad made me a mix tape.
- No way. - Yeah.
- That is too good.
- I don't think he knew what to say.
- Dad's cheer up mix.
Is it weird that I want one?
- It's mostly Patsy Cline.
- Huh, Patsy Cline, classy broad.
- She's the patron saint of country heartbreak.

- I was thinking a little grape, maybe a little Pepper.
- Hmm.
- Maybe finish off with a little Sprite.
- See I'm a Sprite base.
Orange, and hint of lemonade guy myself.
- Wow, sounds very pink.
- I'm comfortable with my sexuality.
- I bet you are.
(moaning)
- Where you from?
- Kansas City.
This is kinda gross?
- You don't like being kissed there?
- No no I love that, this place that we're in is
a little bit gross.
- Oh believe me, this place is as clean as it gets.
I'm only working here for the summer.
- Uh huh.
- I'm saving up for med school.
Stay with my uncle over in Marcy.
- That's great.
- Do you know it?
- Yep actually my grandma lives there, oh my god.

You guys close?
- Yes, we're close.

- Hey.
So do you wanna go see a play this weekend?
The community theater's putting up A Midsummer Night's Dream
in the park.
Maybe we could take a picnic.
- Um actually my sister's...
You know what, I kinda thought that this was gonna be like
a quick fun thing so I should--
- What? - Yeah, I should...
I should go.
- Oh wait, wait.
Just let it be whatever it wants to be.
- Oh hey where were you?
I was about to make some very bad decisions.
- Um yeah I was just I had to pee.
- Oh that is a great idea.
Here would you?
I'm gonna go do that.
- Oh no no no no no no.
I have no cash.
Yeah so.
- You brought vodka and a voodoo doll.
- I know.
- But you didn't think to bring money.
- Ah, stupid, so dumb but you know could you just,
do you mind just getting this round?
- My purse is in the car.
- You know what?
Oh my gosh!
I just remembered.
I have cash.
I just spaced I guess.
- Okay.
Weirdo.
Thank you.
Do you mind getting the gas?
It's on number two.
- Oh sure yeah.
- You know what?
Get something for yourself
because it's your money.

- Classic.
- Ready to go?
- Yeah yeah all set.
- What's up with you? - Hmm?
What?
Nothing.
It's so hot huh?
- Mm hmm.
(banging)
Albert.
- He just needs a little coaxing.
- Oh no, he just needed a new condenser.
- Oh please, condenser schmendenser.
- That's what he needs.
(light music)
- What?
- Nothing.
- Oh my god!
You are gonna get us killed.
(laughing) - Oh man.
- What?
What is so funny?
- Nothing, you're just like a testosterone magnet.
- Whatever.
- No really, you should teach a class.
It's a skill.
- Oh please, shove it.
- I might actually just need your help with number five.
- Do something hot and wrong?
- Yep.
- Oh I got you.
(light music)
(chickens clucking)
- [Millie] I really remember it being bigger.
- You are so weird.
- Oh I don't want the neighbors to hear us.
- That is ridiculous.
Any neighbor is like a mile away.
- You're being really rude.
- I'm not the one whisper yelling.
- Whatever, just be quiet.
(chicken squawks) Ah, oh god!
(laughing)
- Who's loud now?
Hi Macaroni.
Do you remember me?
- It's a chicken, it's not gonna remember you.
- You don't know that.
We were very close, Macaroni and I.
- There are wolves here.
Or coyotes or something.
When does Grandma get back anyway?
- Oh she won't be here for like three days.
- Grandma's really gotten into ceramics, huh?
- Yeah and cats.
- I am really tired, you wanna just go to bed?
- That is a great idea.
Oh!
- What seriously?
- Finders keepers.
- What are we, six?
I was just jilted at my wedding.
- Ooh, I think that you were the one
who did the jilting.
- Oh I swear to god.
- If you're so picky just go sleep in Grandma's room.
- No, I won't.
- Why not?
- Because I don't wanna be alone.
God.
Oh my god.
- It is so hot!
- I think the air conditioning broke.
- Sweat out those toxins!
- [Charlie] Hey baby, I'd really love to talk to you.
You know I never got to see you in your dress?
I tried to cancel our trip with the airlines, I just...
Anyways, Millie I'm gonna give you time.
But just say the word and I'm there.
I love you, hope to talk to you soon.

What's wrong?
What?

Emma are you serious?
I thought something terrible had happened in here!
- It did!
- Oh my god, sometimes I forget that you're still a child.
- Oh my god, that's a big spider.
- Grow up.
Come here little spider.
Come on.
There we go.
Whoa. (shouting)
- Speak for yourself.
- Bye.
Okay I'm hungry, let's go to Dolly's.
- What?
No, no can we just stay here for a little bit longer?
- No, I'm starving.
Let's go.
- I'm so tired. - Oh my god.
- I can't move. - Thank you.
(cows mooing) (gentle music)
Hey Mom. - Hi honey.
Did you get my texts?
You holding up okay?
- Yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah, thanks for asking.
Thanks for everything by the way.
- [Mom] Of course.
I wanted to say I'm so sorry I yelled.
I was so stressed, but you know what?
We worked it all out and everyone took home
a mini cupcake so all was not lost, right?
- Oh well that's nice.
- [Mom] Yeah.
Where are you?
Do you want me to come be with you?
- No.
No no no no.
I just...I need some space, you know?
We're at Grandma's.
- [Mom] I remember when your dad and I split.
I went to Orlando for a week.
- Have you seen Charlie?
- [Mom] Yeah, I saw him right as he was leaving.
- And, how is he, is he okay?
- [Mom] Uh...yeah?
I guess.
How okay could he be?
I don't understand what happened between you two.
Honestly.
- We just weren't meant to be, Mom.
- [Mom] Okay, you just seemed so happy.
And honey you know all I want in the world
is your happiness, right?
- Uh yeah, I know.
- [Mom] Good, good sweetheart, I'm glad.
Hey how's Emma, are you guys getting along?
- She's good. - Good.
- No she's great, she's taking good care of me.
(laughs) - Really?
Oh!
I didn't get a chance to tell you.
Do not let her drive, okay?
- What?
- [Mom] Yeah she can't drive right now.
- You gotta be kidding me, why?
- [Mom] She got a DUI and her license was suspended.
- Mom.
- [Mom] She can't know you know.
She's so embarrassed by it.
Just insist on driving, okay lovey?
- Mom, she drove me the whole way here.
- [Mom] What?
Millie how could you let that happen?
- Well you could have told me something earlier!
- [Mom] I've had quite a bit on my plate, missy.
Someone walked out on her wedding and created a madhouse
of 200 heartbroken people and I can't get my refund
from Chef Souza. - Okay okay okay.
I'm sorry, okay. - Okay, alright, thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
(pensive music)
I'm on the phone!
I'm not really hungry, you'll know when I am.
Chicken breast and a salad, dressing on the side.
Oh wait no you know what I want some...
- Hey Mom? - Yeah?
Yeah, I'm here.
- How did you know that you and Dad
couldn't be together anymore?
- [Mom] Well I guess we just weren't meant to be, honey.
- Thank you.
- [Mom] You're welcome baby.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Promise?
- Yeah.
Oh Mom. - Yeah?
What?
- Um...do you think you might be able to go to our apartment
and get my mail?
Maybe send anything that looks important?
Or just call, you know, whatever.
Whatever's easiest, I just...
I don't really wanna ask Charlie.
- [Mom] Sure, of course I can sweetie.
- Thanks.
- [Mom] I love you.
- I love you.
Bye. - Bye.
- [Emma] Okay, I'm ready.
- You can't wear that.
- Why?
This is like my most popular shirt.
- Yeah you're gonna have to change.
(light music)
(sighs)
(singing)
- Is it better?
- Sure.
- Oh bye Macaroni.
- That's a different chicken.
- They're all Macaroni to me.
- That's okay I got it, I'll drive.
- Oh please, you're in a weakened state.
- You've driven plenty.
- No really, I don't mind.
Don't--
- Don't be a child, Emma.
Look I didn't want to say this.
But Mom told me.
- Oh.
That's none of your business.
- What happened?
You're not an idiot, why would you drive drunk?
- It's not what you think.
- You lied.
And we had a bottle of vodka in the car,
that's really messed up Emma.
- I'm a good driver.
- That's not the point. - I know.
- You put yourself at risk.
You really need to think about what you're doing.
- I was thinking that I was taking care of you.
- I don't need you to take care of me.
- Yeah clearly not.
(light music)
- [Dolly] Carl, keep that bacon coming.
(text notifications dinging)
- Yes, three bars, finally.
- Well.
What can I get you ladies this morning?
(laughing)
Emma! - Hi Dolly!
- Millie.
Well I understand you're a married lady now.
- It didn't work out.
- Oh.
You know what they say.
They say breakfast makes anything better.
(laughing)
- Amen. - Amen.
And y'all looking so pretty.
Why wasn't that long ago that you all were in here
bouncing up and down on the tables.
I know.
Two Dolly specials and hot apple pie.
- That sounds nice. - Absolutely.
- Absolutely?
Absolutely.
Coming right up ladies.
- Thanks Dolly.
- Emma, if Dolly knows that means the whole town
is gonna know.
- You don't know that.
- What?
- Marcy Swap and Shop.
Mildren Haven seeks new groom.
- You've gotta be kidding me.
(gasps)
- I am.
- Emma could you...
Could you please put that away?
This is actually really hard for me.
- What?
- Everyone is staring at me.
- Nobody here gives a hoot about you.
- Wow thanks.
- Tough love, baby dove.
- Should I call Charlie? - What?
- Just you know check in.
- No, no!
You don't leave a man at the alter and then
grovel at his feet.
Woman up, Millie.
I think you should take that off.
(pensive music)
Ah.
Okay.
I think we should play a game.
- A game? - Mm hmm.
It's called tiny thefts.
- Okay.
- Here's how it goes.
We each do a lap around the diner
on our way to the restroom or whatever.
And we steal something small, we bring it back to the table
and we compare and whoever stole the best thing
gets a prize.
- Emma I'm not gonna steal something.
- You don't know what the prize is.
- Okay, what's the prize?
- One million dollars.
- No it's not.
- Winner gets to drive. - No.
- Top bunk.
- Okay. - Yes.
- Tiny thefts.
You go first.
- No no no no.
No nubes go first.
That's the rule.
- You literally just made this game up, how are there rules?
- Oh and it has to fit in the palm of your hand.
- What, are you kidding me?
- These are the rules.
- Excuse me.
(murmuring)
- Can you eat something else?
- Yeah, of course I can eat something else,
I always can eat something else.
(chuckles)
How about them Belgian waffles?
What are you thinking?
- No man, I'm too full.
- Some key lime pie?
- You don't need any more.
- Oh my god, oh my god, I did it!
- Real suave. - I did it!
- Is that a wallet?
- Yeah.
- No no no no, you're supposed to steal something small
like a salt shaker or something.
- What?
- Yeah no what happens when these people
wanna pay for their check?
- Oh yeah.
- You have to go put that back.
- You just want me to lose.
- Well I haven't gone yet, and I'm pretty sure I would win
because I wouldn't do something that would get us--
- Oh definitely not.
- Oh you have no idea.
- You can't even just let me win.
- There's so many tiny things!
- It was your stupid idea in the first place!
- My stupid idea wasn't to steal somebody's money
it was just to steal somebody's--
- Do you like me? - I guess I like you.
- You're prettier than me, take it.
- That is insane, I am not--
- Take it. - Why?
- Excuse me ma'am.
Were you just over there by my mama?
Seems like we're missing something.
- I...
- Now I'm gonna ask you nicely to give it back!
You know we're good people.
There wasn't much money in there anyways.
(laughing)
- Oh my god!
- What's wrong with her?
- I'm so sorry, here.
- Thank you.
- She just left a man at the alter
and they've been together for almost a decade.
- Oh my god. - I know.
- Oh my god.
- Honey I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, that's so sad.
- So sad.
I mean.
- Yeah, I'm sorry!
I...you...this was...I...I feel guilty like for everything.
And I don't know...
- No no no it's not your fault sweetie.
He sounds like a real loser.
(laughs)
You really spooked us.
You can't go around stealing people's wallets.
- I know!
I don't do that.
We're not stealers.
- Not usually, no. - No.
- You look like you need a hug.
- She does!
- I don't want a hug, I don't think...
- Stanley, what are you doing?
Can't believe you.
- You take care, alright?
- Okay, we'll do that sir.
- Two Dolly specials.
Hot apple pie coming up next.
- Thank you Dolly.
- You girls take your time.
It's so good to see you.
- Yes.
- Don't steal my salt shakers now hear?
- Oh, one time.
You win.
Well, I'm about ready for a nap.
- A nap? - Mm hmm.
- I'm still like shaking, I'm like physically shaking.
- Um...
- What?
No. - Please?
- No.
No way. - Please.
- I'm wrecked.
No. - Please?
Please?
- I really hate the puppy face.
I've never like the puppy--
- Please please please please please.
- Go, please go.
- Really? - Yes, go.
- Hooray!
Today is the greatest day.
- Don't fall.
Sorry.
- Hello.
Welcome.
Can I help you find something?
- I'm just browsing.
- Are you guys sisters?
- Yeah.
- She has great taste.
I think I can help you find something.
Do you need a fitting room?
- [Emma] Found it!
- I think these would work perfectly for you.
- Okay.
- Oh that is so your style.
- Thank you.
Did you find some stuff?
- Yeah. - Good.
- Let me know if I can help you.
(pensive music)
- [Emma] Hey Mills!
We doing okay in there?
- You know nothing puts a smile on your face
like a nice new outfit.
- That's so true.
He really knows his stuff.
- Yeah let's go.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Don't I look fine?
- I actually have a few more things to try on so...
- Fantastic.
I will meet you back at the car.
- Okay, one moment, I'm so sorry.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey.
What's going on?
- What's going on?
- Yeah.
- This is great, I am just having a fantastic time.
- I thought that you would want a chance
to change out of my shorts
and that this would be fun.
- Yeah.
That's, sure, right.
- You are acting like a crazy person.
- Well aren't you just perfect?
- Millie, I just want to help you.
Okay, I really do, and I'm kind of at a loss.
I don't know what you want from me
so what do want from me, what?
- I just, stop, stop!
I want you to leave me alone.
- Okay, I can do that.
I'm gonna buy some clothes so I can keep some semblance
of being a human being.
- Fantastic.
- Awesome, do you wanna go get some groceries?
- I can do that.
- Great, I know you can. - Great, awesome.
- Are you going to buy that dress as well?
You should.
- Thank you, yes.
- Hi, welcome.
(light music)
- You find everything?
- Uh, yeah.
- I heard this is a good time.
- Yeah, it's great.
- Hmm.
Didn't know we sold these.
Milk.
That's a weird word if you say it enough times.
Milk.
Boy I never seen them all connected like that,
that's weird.
(buzzes)
Hey Jeff, can we get a price check on these tomatoes?
There's five of them.
- You know, I don't want the tomatoes.
- You sure? - Mm hmm.
- They're in season, these are good too.
- That's cool but I'm good.
Actually, could you move a little faster?
I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry.
And you're really taking your time.
(clears throat)
Hey.
Ow! - Sorry.
My sister's just feeling a little bit overheated, you know.
She doesn't understand the stress that a cashier is under.
Why don't you go get yourself a little gumball?
There's so many, they're so pretty, so many varieties.
Come on.
What were we saying?
Yes the amount of pressure that cashiers face every day,
all day, unrecognized.
- I'm a sales associate.
- Sales, right, of course.
I'm so sorry, sales associate.
Yes.
What was your name?
- I'm Ford.
Like the car.
- Oh that is a cool name.
Well I'm Emma and that's-- (rattling)
That's Mildred.
Having a bit of a day.
- Oh there it is.
I watch a lot of food TV you know,
like cooking challenge shows, recipe shows,
chef personality shows.
My friend Remy once told me about a show
where they made chefs fight at the end.
I was like Remy that can't be real,
he's like it is.
I'm like alright, 'cause I'll believe anything,
but I wouldn't doubt it.
- Cool. - Yeah.
- That's really cool.
- Anyway I also got a crazy memory for recipes.
I just retain 'em and I can just spout off
like 100 recipes right off the top of my head, it's weird.
- Well I would love to hear that.
- Yeah there's this one pasta pesto dish
I been dying to make.
I can give you the recipe if you want it.
- Would you?
Thank you so much.
- Hi. - Hi.
You wanna pass me that bag and I'll start bagging?
- Oh thanks Mills.
- Yeah just you know do something to get us outta here.
- I'll write this up for you right now, miss.
- Pesto.
- I don't even know what is in pesto.
- So you just get it premade, you just--
- Yeah they have like jars of it.
- So pesto, pasta.
- Big water.
- Five salts. - Yep.
- So is that?
You know what, yeah, that sounds good.
(text notifications dinging)
- What the hell? - Oh my god!
Sue me for having like one person to send a text to.
- Albert is not turning on.
- Well did you stall him?
- Would you like to try?
- I would love to actually.
(engine sputtering)
What can I say?
He has bad days.
He's been doing really good so far.
We've gotten this far, haven't we?
- I cannot believe you.
- How can this possibly be my fault?
I have a shitty car, sue me.
- You know you always manage to make every day worse.
- Yeah well you've been a real beam of sunshine.
- I cannot believe you.
- Me?
Really?
Aren't you supposed to be the responsible one?
No I mean like isn't that what you tell yourself?
You're the one driving now, aren't you?
- I have always taken care of you and you know that.
- You've taken care of me.
Really? - Yeah.
- No really, you think that that's what's been happening?
- Yes!
- You know what I take it back, I don't like you.
- Good, I don't like you either.
- Great.
So there is a reason that this hasn't been happening.
- Absolutely. - Awesome.
(train whistle blowing)
- You like it, don't you?
The way men just fall over themselves for you.
- Oh come on! - No you need to understand
something Emma, the way that you come off.
- Yeah, how do I come off?
- Slutty.
- Really?
Really you're gonna slut shame me now?
Well you know what Millie?
I think that you could use a little slutty in your life.
Yeah no then maybe you wouldn't be so afraid about
having sex you unlovable, self-absorbed bitch!
(gasps)
(tense music)
(engine starting)
Come on, it's too hot.
- Did any mail come for me?
- Oh so are we talking now?
Is that what we're doing?
- Come on.
- No.
Why?
- I'm waiting on that letter from DC.
- We just got here Millie.
That's not really how mail works.
Why don't you just wait til tomorrow
and check it when we get home?
- What do you mean?
- Aren't we leaving?
- I can't.
No that's way too much for me.
Mom.
Dad's face.
I don't want a sad mix tape.
I just need some privacy.
- Okay well that I can do.
- Emma.
(pensive music)
(laughing)
Emma, let's go downstairs.
- There's no TV downstairs.
You planned this, didn't you?
- [Millie] Yep.
- Yes.
(thunder rumbling)
How does Grandma have a Darlingside album?
- I have no idea.
She's got style though, gotta give her that.
("Blow the House Down" by Darlingside)
¶ People have places
¶ And the places have the people's dreams
¶ Oh puff, puff and blow the house down
¶ And down and down and down and blow the house down
¶ Blow the house down and down and blow the house down
- Emma Haven.
You really are something.
¶ There's a song for the robbers
¶ On the other side of windowpanes
¶ A song for the cowboys
¶ Held up in hundred-mile-an-hour trains
¶ And there's one for the lovers, and one for the sinners
¶ That they sing in the pews
¶ Short of distinctions
¶ I'd say we've all grown tired of singing blues
¶ Oh
(groans) Emma.
- What?
- Get up, get up.
- No, get off of me.
- No, we gotta go upstairs before we fall asleep down here.
- What?
No this is good.
I'm cozy.
- My head hurts. - Such a wuss.
Why would you do that to me?
(car pulling up)
(gasps)
- I'll show you who a wuss is.
That really wasn't that tough.
(thunder rumbling)
(cries out)
- Oh whoa whoa whoa-- - Oh god!
- Whoa, are you okay?
- Yeah, I...
Hey!
Just stay back, don't come close.
- Okay yeah no I surrender.
Please, don't cook me.
You should probably stay inside.
Tornado watch is in order for another hour or so.
- Oh watch, smatch, I only go inside for warnings.
- Oh I see.
A true midwesterner.
- Yeah.
We would sit on our porch and watch 'em go by.
- Cool, yeah.
I'm Blake.
- Millie.
This is my grandma's house.
- Oh Mildred's your grandma. - Mm hmm.
- Cool, cool.
I'm staying with my uncle for the summer, Rodney.
Yeah well, he pretty much just keeps to himself.
Mildred asked me to keep an eye on the animals
and then he asked me to come over and make sure
they didn't get too spooked here with the weather.
- Of course.
- She was going down to her granddaughter's wedding?
Were you there?
- Yeah.
It was lovely.
- Nice.
Uh...so what's with the weapon?
- I was making eggs.
- Uh huh.
I'm sorry if I scared you.
- No, you didn't scare me.
I was just weird.
- Stay still.
(hits) - Ow!
- Ah, just saved your life.
- Thanks for that.
- I like it out here.
It's good when you need a place to be alone and just think.
- Yeah, I know what you mean.
- I'm gonna go check on the chickens if you wanna come.
- Oh that's exactly where I was headed.
Sure, just you know, don't get too close.
(chickens clucking)
Looks like the chickens are still here.
(chuckles)
- Yeah, looks like it.
You wanna do a lap around the silo?
- Yeah.
That's a great idea.
Love that idea.
- [Blake] So you're just visiting?
- [Millie] Yeah.
- [Blake] Bummer.
I just mean there aren't a whole lot of people
to hang out with here in Marcy.
- Can I ask you something?
- Sure.
- Do you wanna get married?
- Wow Millie I'm flattered but we just met.
- No, no not with me.
God I just meant like in life.
- I dunno, maybe someday.
- Yeah I really thought I was gonna get married
but now I'm not so sure.
I just keep thinking about all the things I wanna do,
you know?
- Well.
I think whoever you marry should help you do those things,
not keep you from doing them.
- Yeah, I totally agree.
(hits) Ow!
Wow. - Got him.
- Two in a night.
Look at that, that is fantastic.
- So maybe I'll see you around.
- Yeah I mean...I would...maybe tomorrow.
- I just meant maybe I'll see you around.
Kinda have a girlfriend.
Yeah.
I mean we haven't really talked about it so I don't really
know for sure but she's just so great.
- Of course.
- You'd really like her.
You actually kinda remind me of her.
- Ah!
- Alright. - Okay.
Yep, both going this way.
(rooster crowing)
(light music)
- Hey.
Good news, the power's back on so that means coffee, woo.
Do you want any breakfast, eggs, bread?
How do you want me to cook your eggs?
Fried?
- Poached.
- You want me to poach your eggs?
- Scrambled?
- There we go, that's more like it.
- Oh my god, eggs.
That's a far cry from how we used to eat here as kids.
What's the name of that cereal we used to eat.
- Ooh, chocolate puffs.
- I thought I was chocolate crisps.
- Nuh uh.
- Coco Nuggets, you ingrates.
- Grandma! - Hi Grandma!
- What in tarnation are you doing at my house?
- You didn't tell her?
- I-- - No.
No she did not, nobody tells me anything.
- Oh Grandma I'm so so sorry.
- Mm hmm.
You know Millie, you've caused a lot of trouble.
But this is some next level BS.
- I thought you knew.
- Would I let you wallow in self-pity alone?
Absolutely not.
I was cleaning up the mess you made.
Little did I think I'd return to more mess.
- I'm sorry, let me help you with that.
(gasping)
- Oh!
Waffle iron.
- Ba ba ba ba ba!
We're going to write apology notes
and return every single one of those
so don't get any big ideas.
- Wait are all of these for me?
- Yes, they're all for you goofleberry
and the cake is in the car.
- You mean the groom's cake.
- It's the least you can do.
- Well Grandma please just throw it out,
it's gotta be stale.
- I'm not above it.
- Never waste a good cake.
- She gets it.
Grandma, why didn't you just mail these from Kansas City?
It's gonna cost a fortune from here.
- Don't you worry.
Go on, get.
- Ow! - Ow!
God look where you're going.
Get in the car.
- God I cannot believe that you didn't tell Grandma.
- What?
- This is exactly my problem with you Emma.
You're a pathological liar.
- Oh my god, no I'm not!
Please don't yell at me.
- You're the one whisper yelling!
(gentle music)
- [Emma] What have I done now?
- [Millie] You upset Grandma!
- [Emma] She seems fine.
It's kinda fun having her here.
- [Millie] Fun?
Fun.
Oh yeah great, splendiferous. - Splendiferous, really.
- Yeah, look it up.
- [Emma] You're just gonna walk away?
What?
I have a date with the hand number guy.
- [Millie] A date, seriously?
(knocking)
You're leaving? - Who is it?
- [Emma] I'll be back.
- Whatever you're selling we've already got it.
- It's for me.
- Well you can't be too careful these days.
I've got a walk in closet full of Wilderness Girl cookies.
(clears throat)
- Hi. - Hi.
Thank you.
- [Blake] Wow I was just here.
- [Emma] Grandma, this is Blake.
- [Blake] Mildred, yeah we go way back.
- Well hi, nice to see you again.
Thanks for watching my place.
- Oh my pleasure.
- Can I offer you a glass of iced tea?
Cake?
- Oh no no no, we have tickets, right?
So we should probably go? - Yeah we probably
should get going. - Yeah.
- Sorry.
- [Emma] Blake this is my sister Millie.
- Hey Blake.
It is so nice to meet you, wow.
You take good care of this one 'cause she's my little sister
and you know what don't stay out too late
'cause we have dinner plans.
- Huh.
- No worries.
It was a pleasure to meet you as well, Millie.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Now that we've all met and, you know, shaken hands,
been sufficiently awkward, I think that we can go.
Right? - Yeah.
(clicks)
- Nice seeing you.
- You have fun!
So much fun, all the fun.
What?
Everything's cool.
- Isn't he a cool drink of water?
- Yep, Emma always catches that worm.
- Oh the hot ones go to Emma.
- I want some tea, do you want some tea?
- Oh yeah I'd love some tea.
And cake.
- Ooh, you got it.
(knocking)
Don't get up, I got it, I got it.
(knocking)
What'd you guys leave something?
What do I do?
- Open the door.
- Okay.
Hey.
- Hi.
- What are you doing here?
- I just really wanted to talk to you.
Brought your mail.
- Oh.
- You know I have to do my childs poses.
If you don't mind, could you move this to the porch?
(pensive music)
- [Charlie] You okay?
- I've been better.
- Yeah me too.
Mills, hey.
You know I've had a lot of time to think about this
and I got a lot to say.
Is that alright?
I love you.
I love you so much and I've loved you for so long
and so deeply, so purely and I've spent eight
incredible years with you.
- I know.
- So can we just get out of here please, together?
I'm here to win you back, Mildred Haven.
- Oh Charlie.
- I love you and I accept you, all of you.
If you apologize I'll take you back in an instant.
- An apology?
- I've just been feeling terrible, I'm sure you have too.
We just gotta come back together.
- I don't wanna be with you, Charlie.
- You don't mean that.
You don't mean that baby, come on.
What about our plan?
The plan?
The yellow house.
- That's not me anymore, I don't want that.
(laughs)
- Babe, come on, of course you do.
It's what we've talked about, babe that's the dream.
- I don't want the yellow house.
I want arguments, I want big cities and trouble.
- Okay you can have both.
I can give you both.
- Oh god I knew you were gonna say that, Charlie.
Charlie you are the kindest man that I know,
and it makes me feel guilty that I'm not more kind
or sweet or perfect.
- But you are perfect, you're perfect for me.
- No, no I'm not, I'm not, and I know that
and I'm okay with that, I'm...I'm figuring that out.
- Can you just come home with me please?
Can we just go home and we can figure this out together?
- Charlie.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry that I hurt you.
I just can't.
- Is this because of Emma?
'Cause this doesn't sound like you, this sounds like her.
I knew it.
I knew it as soon as you two took off.
Can we just talk about this? - Don't touch me!
Don't touch me!
Oh my god it doesn't matter.
You know what it doesn't matter because
the last few days without you have been happier
than I can ever remember feeling.
And do you know what that freedom feels like?
It feels like summer.
It feels like all the things that I didn't think
I was allowed to feel.
I was just doing what I thought I was supposed to do
but that is not the same as loving someone.

(clanks)
- Dropped your weapon.
- Thank you Blake.
- Nice to see you Millie.
I'm gonna talk to you soon, okay?
- Great yeah. - Okay yeah.
(light music)
- You're looking real good.
So.
You met Blake.
- Sure did, yep.
- And?
- Probably a little too muscular for me.
- Sure.
- But you know, to each his own.
What?
- I dunno, just you know the next time that you ask out
my man friend could you please just tell me about it?
If you could communicate that to me with words
that would just be helpful.
- I talked to Charlie. - No!
Don't change the subject.
He's actually really important to me.
- Oh, sorry.
- But I mean, how many hot guys did you think
there were in Marcy?
Everyone's so geriatric.
- You know when you put it like that.
- Right? - Mm hmm.
- So.
You called Charlie.
- Mm, nn nn, he came here.
- What?
Way to bury the lede!
He was here. - Yeah.
- Where is he now?
- He's gone.
- He's gone?
- He's gone.
Gone gone.
- Well good for you.
Girl gang.
- Girl gang. - Boop.
(laughing)
(gentle music)
- Emma? - Hmm?
- Hey chickadees, what's all that squawking about?
(laughing)
- [Both] Nothing.
- You know you girls are so lucky to have each other.
Growing up with four brothers is hard.
I do love 'em, but oh my sweet lord, they were a pain.
All I ever wanted was a good girl friend.
And I tried, but...I was sharp around the edges.
I look at you two and I think how great it must be
to have someone that just gets you.
Sisters are special.
You have someone to be different with.
Now, whatever is going on between you two,
you need to let it out, let it all out.
Howl at the moon, and then let it go.
Because there will never be someone as important
as the one standing right next to you.
So get off your darn high horses.
You know what to do.
- I'm sorry.
- Me too.
- That was good. (laughing)
You know Emma, ever since you were a baby
you knew exactly what you wanted.
Now one day you decided that I was your favorite.
Well I felt so special.
I was the only one that could make you stop crying.
And then the next day it'd be someone else.
- Huh.
- But the only one that could always make you laugh
whether they cared about it or not...
- Wait, really?
- You two are very important to each other.
I think it's time you stopped being such boneheads about it.
- Grandma what was I like as a baby?
- Fussy.
(scoffs)
You sure were darn cute though.
- You were cute.
- Mm hmm, I heard that.
- Yeah, not present tense, past tense.
Hey Mills?
- Yeah.
- Think I need to talk to you.
I don't wanna go. - What?
No no, I was gonna say I kind of want to go alone.
- Oh I wanna stay here for the summer.
I wanna stay and see what happens with Blake.
It needs to be whatever it wants to be.
- Emma Haven look at you, jumping off the deep end!
- Is that okay? - Yes!
You finally found a good one, I am so proud of you.
- Ugh.
- No this'll be good, this will be good.
I'll swing by home for damage control,
and then I'll do the drive to DC.
- What?
What if you don't get in?
- I'll just figure it out.
- Millie Haven and not having a plan!
- Well I learned from the best.
- Oh that's true! - That's you.
(laughing)
- Guess I can't use these, but, you know what?
I think he likes you.
- Me? - Mm hmm.
(gentle music)
- Albert you're my number five.
- Hey.
You forgot these.
(uplifting music)
Hit the dashboard, just whack it!
Turn on the wipers, hit the dashboard.
- [Millie] Got it!
- Woo!
("Go Back" by Darlingside)
¶ We were always on our way
¶ Rolling up our sleeves
¶ Ever moving forward
¶ In the tracks where we lived our simple lives
¶ Kept our blinders on
¶ Eyes to the horizon
¶ I know I'm no doctor but I know
¶ You can't live in the past
¶ But the only way to go is to go back
¶ And return to who we were
¶ Before we disappeared
¶ Into the thick of big ideas
¶ Now we can see the sweeping view
¶ But we're waiting out the storm
¶ Stuck under the awning
¶ I know I'm no doctor but I know
¶ You can't live in the past
¶ But the only way to go is to go back
¶ Into everglades, greener yesterdays, skip the stones away
¶ Go back to the start
¶ Photos in the darkroom before they fade
¶ So we hold to who we are
¶ Even into the arc
¶ Beyond our furthest edges
¶ To a world full of strange and towering skies
¶ And a chance to choose in time
¶ To set out on our own way
¶ I know I'm no doctor but I know
¶ No doctor but I know
¶ You can't live in the past
¶ But the only way to go is to go back
