[Alyssa] Why is it that the more you have to say,
the harder it is to speak?
You should take a shower.
Yeah.
[Alyssa] My heart's beating in my face.
Here you go.
-Thanks. -Who is he?
That's James.
Oh, wow.
I'm gonna finish cashing up.
[door closes]
Have you been following me?
Yes.
Did you get one of these?
[Alyssa] Shit.
Is that what you came here to tell me?
I... Yeah.
That's it?
Well, don't you think it's a bit sinister?
[Alyssa] Not really.
It's probably some dickhead we went to school with.
You shouldn't have come here, James.
[Alyssa] He looks old.
What's wrong with your leg?
Nothing.
It's just a bit stiff.
Right.
My dad's dead.
Shit.
Sorry.
-I'm getting married tomorrow. -I know.
Congratulations.
[Alyssa] Is it bad that it's nice to see him?
Yeah, you can't drive that.
I'll get Eric to sort you out tomorrow.
Thanks.
Where are you staying? We'll give you a lift.
Oh, no. It's fine.
I can walk.
Are you living in your car?
Yeah.
[Leigh] You can stay in the cabin.
Toilet's through there.
Is there a shower?
There's a lake.
Thank you.
[cell phone beeping]
Eric says he'll drop your car off tomorrow afternoon.
Is there a cash machine nearby?
[Leigh] Don't worry about it.
I'll be outside.
I'd invite you to the wedding, but that'd probably be a bit weird.
Yeah.
Bye.
James?
Yeah?
Tomorrow...
when the car's fixed, you will leave, won't you?
Uh... Yeah.
You shouldn't have come here.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry about your dad.

[Alyssa] Sometimes you can choose to not be a dick.
Yes.
Thank you.
[James] At first, it felt nice.
Just being near Alyssa again,
despite the circumstances.
[breathes deeply]
But that feeling didn't last.
Mainly because the circumstances were her getting married to someone else.
[upbeat trumpet music playing]
[whispering] I am so proud of you.
[Alyssa] It's like being a pony at a show.
Am I making a mistake?
What?
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
[Alyssa] Everyone probably has doubts right now.
I think that's normal.
[upbeat trumpet music continues]
Good afternoon and a warm welcome to...
[mouthing]
Do you take Todd Alan King to be your lawful wedded husband?
[Alyssa] I can't believe I didn't know his middle name was Alan.
What's that then?
It's my dad.
Do you not have a truck?
No.
Do you want a lift somewhere?
No, you're all right.

Yeah, it was fine.
That's good.
[James] I was waiting for the right moment to tell Alyssa I loved her.
What?
Nothing.
[James] I decided to bide my time.
How long have you been living in here?
A couple of months.
Yeah, it smells like it.

So where are we going?
-What? -Where do you want to go?
I don't know. I just wanted to leave.
What happened?
Look, can we not?
I don't want to talk about it, okay?
[Alyssa] Being shit runs in my family.
It's in my blood.
Which means I can't help it.
What are you gonna do with your dad? You gonna scatter him
or just carry him around like a mascot?
I'm gonna scatter him.
Where?
[James] I had no idea.
It's private.
Are you cold?
No.
Are you hungry?
Not really.
I am.
Fine.
Congratulations.
-What? -Happy wedding.
We're not married.
-What? -We've actually been to a funeral.
Oh?
Sorry.
I just thought I'd get a bit more wear out of this.
[waitress] Right.
I'll give you a couple minutes.
[James] Alyssa was different.
[Alyssa] What the fuck am I doing here?
[James] It was like someone had taken her batteries out.
Alyssa?
Yeah.
The letter I sent you...
I'm sorry.
What letter?
[James] When I realised she might not have got it,
it felt like a weight had been lifted from my chest.
Oh, yeah. That.
[James] Which seemed much heavier when it was put back.
I'm really, really sorry.
It was ages ago.
I can't even remember what it said.
[Alyssa] "Dear Alyssa,
I don't want to see you again. Ever.
Because of you, I killed someone.
I can't ever take that back, and it's made me hate you.
So whatever you feel about me,
you should know I don't feel it in return.
Please leave me alone.
Sincerely, James. P.S...."
Good luck with everything.
Yeah.
Do you maybe want to take that out?
No.
[Alyssa] "Because of you, I killed someone."
[screaming]
[Alyssa] "I can't ever take that back, and it's made me hate you."
I'm sorry.
It's fine. Shut up.
Should we go?
We need to pay.
I know.
Shall we still go?
You know, if you do a runner,
the waiter or waitress usually has to pay out of their tips?
Uh, no, I didn't know that.
Yeah, that's true. We're held responsible.
Right.
Okay.
Were you not gonna pay?
Uh... No, of course we were.
Keep the change.
Alyssa?
-Alyssa? -What?
[James] I just had to say it.
There would never be a right time.
What?
[James] I love you.
[Alyssa] I don't want to be here.
[James] I love you.
[Alyssa] I don't want to be anywhere.
[James] I love you.
I think we should go back. This is stupid.
Wait. What?
What are we doing, James? Where are we even going?
-I don't know. You came to me. -I didn't come to you.
You came to me. You were stalking me.
I was not stalking you, I was watching you.
That's still weird.
But you said you wanted to leave.
Well, now I want to go back.
Why?
Because I am married.
What? You did it?
I do.
Yes!
-Alyssa, wait! -Oh, for fuck's sake!
[James] No!
Hey!
Stop!
-[Alyssa] Hey! -[James] Stop!
Brilliant!
Oh, no.
I know it was your home or whatever, but you don't need to cry.
It's just been towed. What's wrong with you?
It's my dad.
Oh, yeah.
Shit.
I am actually a bit cold now.
Thanks.
[James] What if they got rid of him?
Come on.
Four hundred plus VAT.
What?
Shouldn't have parked it there.
I don't understand, there wasn't a sign or anything.
-Yeah, there would have been a sign. -There wasn't a sign.
There's always a sign.
There fucking wasn't.
Maybe you need glasses.
Maybe you need a better job.
I'm sorry.
Look, we just got married.
We're saving up for our honeymoon. We don't have a lot of money.
Can you let it go just this one time?
It's cash only.
Please, can I just get my dad?
-What? -[James] He's dead. He's in the car.
I don't mean his body, his ashes. His ashes are in the car.
Look, we'll come back with the money, I promise, but for now,
can I just get him?
He's in the car?
-Yeah. -[man] So he's safe.
-Well, yeah. -So when you come back with the money,
-he'll be there. -[James] No.
You don't understand.
-Please. -James. It's cool.
We'll come back. What time do you close?
-Five. -Okay.
Come on.
I don't have 400 plus VAT.
-Neither do I. -Then what are we going to do?
We're going to wait till five o'clock.
[James chuckles]
How did he die, your dad?
Heart attack.
Bad diet, no exercise.
Shit.
It's probably how I'll go.
Why did you get married?
Because I wanted to.
Okay.
[Alyssa] Because I thought I wanted to.
Because I had to do something...
so I did that.
Wake me up when it's time.
Okay.
[James] On paper, things looked quite bleak for me.
I was a homeless orphan on the run with a married woman.
But no matter how bad life got...
there was always something good.
You had to focus on the good.

I didn't want to make too much noise.
-Oi! -[Alyssa] Oh, what, not to disturb him?
Yeah, nice one.
["I'm Walking, Babe" continues]
[engine revving]
[laughing]
[James] For a moment, it was like old times.
Do you still want to go back?
-Alyssa? -We should stop.
-What? -The hitchhiker.
She's a woman. She's on her own.
What if some weirdo picks her up?
Yeah. Okay.
[Alyssa] You all right?
Hi.
