Hey, man, you in there? It's me, Chip.
I guess not.
Unless you are in there and you're not comin' out 'cause you're mad at me,
in which case, that's kind of the reason I'm here, man, just to...
say I'm sorry.
And just to say that, uh...
we should play paddle, man, you know?
It'd be good for you. Just the two of us.
I brought the tandem.
I know you like that.
All right, man, I'm going.
D, we don't need London, man.
Or Rosa. Unless...
unless that's who you got in there.
He's not here.
I'm going. I'm gonna go now.
D? Coming in the back door.
I know you're in here, man. D?
Probably went to a meeting.

Five, six, seven, eight...
You smell like feet.
Yeah, well, there's a certain amount of truth to that statement, I guess.
- Do you like that smell? - No.
Okay. Well, I would've taken a shower.
- But... - You broke it.
No, I didn't break it.
I maybe broke it more, but I didn't break it.
Can you make me breakfast?
Uh...
Nope. Nothing in there. You want some cereal or something?
I'm not allowed cereal.
Mom says it has too much sugar, and that sugar is America's silent killer.
Bro.
Can you make me breakfast?
No, let's go out for breakfast. I mean, if you want to.
Yeah. Why didn't I think of that?
All right, before our countdown, I wanna announce
that if anyone wants to be on the organizing committee
for the upcoming AA convention with Al-Anon participation,
please see Mike W.
All right, anyone here have less than six months?
Less than 30 days?
Who's got less than 30?
Finally, who's got less than 24 hours of sobriety?
Going once, going twice...
Sold!
Dennis.
- Look at you. You look like shit, man. - Thank you, George.
Look, I'm not really in the mood to get into it right now.
- So if we could... - Yeah.
Well, that's too bad, because I am.
All right, look, I made a big fuckin' mistake, okay?
I admit that, and now I have to live with it.
- I was weak. - Yeah, you're damn right you were weak.
- I... - That's always been your problem.
Look, you should have told Rosa the truth.
Rosa?
I finally had a chance to make it right with her.
You built my hopes up, Dennis. Then you let me down.
- Okay, George, look... - Hey, man.
- Oscar? - How did it go with the inspector today?
Today? Shit! Fuck! What time is it?
- Oh, I'm gonna be late! - This fuckin' guy.
No, no. Not like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't move.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.
Okay. Yes! Uh-huh. There you go.
Okay. If I could just...
Oh, no. Oh! Oh, God.
Thanks, I needed that.
The payment must've gone through twice when I signed up.
It's one of the opt-out services we offer.
What does that mean?
Well, you have to opt out if you don't want it.
I'm sorry. Who opts in for a $2,000 hold on their credit card?
You never know when you might need some spiritual guidance.
At times like these, you don't wanna have to worry about a bank or money transfer.
You just wanna be able to pick up the phone whenever.
Wait, wait. I'm not paying for this, am I?
I didn't call you for spiritual guidance.
- I called you to unblock my credit card. - Calm down.
I will take care of it.
- Where are you? - I'm at a gas station on my way home.
If I make it there. I only have enough cash for half a tank.
How long will you be home?
I...
I have a lot of unfinished business that I need to take care of.
I know that that goes against WAKE, but I've made up my mind and...
it's really important that I do this.
I owe it to my family, so please, just do not try and talk me out of this.
No, it's just...
you left your cell phone here. I don't know where to send it.
Oh, okay. Um...
Okay, well, do you have a pen and I'll give you the address?
Hey, do you have a pen?
It was intense, you know.
I mean, we met under circumstances that were heightened.
You know, I kill...
part of an accident that killed her brother.
- Uh-huh. - I mean, I don't know.
Maybe that put too much pressure on the relationship. I don't know.
Maybe if we'd met under different circumstances, we'd...
- still be together. I don't know. - Have you seen my...?
There it is.
Point is, she's gone, and I don't know where.
She didn't tell me, she didn't tell any of her friends,
she won't even pick up her phone, and...
I mean, yes, I loved her, and she loved me,
and it's for the best that she's gone.
But, I don't know, maybe...
Maybe there's a thing like when there's too much history,
it's hard to have a future?
Why are you telling me this?
- No, I just... - I don't care.
- Sorry. - See you around.
Yeah, I mean, do you wanna exchange info or something?
I mean, maybe we can get a coffee or...
Seriously? I have a boyfriend.
You should put some walls up.
Fuck!
Hey, Oscar, it's Dennis.
Yeah, good, man, thank you.
Listen, do you have a number for your brother-in-law?
I really need to get in touch with the inspector.
Yeah, no, Oscar gave me your number.
Uh-huh. Yes, I understand that he was here.
But the thing is, I stepped out for a moment,
so if you could just give me his number...
I know that he is super busy. He is an inspector.
Listen, it is super important that I speak...
Hey, Jerry, it's me, Dennis.
I'm trying to get a hold of Tilly...
Yeah, no.
I know I missed the inspector. That's actually what I'm calling about.
I need to talk to her. I just need more time.
Well, no, I don't know.
I would need to call and reschedule an appointment.
So you know what that can be like. It could take, like, weeks.
Really? You could do that? This afternoon?
Yeah. No, that's great.
Yeah. No, hey, look, I will not let you down, Jerry.
I promise. Thank you.
And the place looks great.
Fuck!
- Chip? Is that...? - It's my bike.
- Oh, my God. - Hey.
- Daisy. - I can't believe it.
- Hi. How are you? - This is so funny.
I thought to myself, "Hey, I wonder if I'm gonna see Chip down here?"
And then I thought, "There's no way.
He is not still hanging out in Venice, after all these years."
Yeah. Well, I am.
Yeah...
So do you still have that stool store?
No, no, actually, I got rid of that.
Oh, not surprised. I mean, I just...
I never actually saw you sell anything, so...
So, what's the what? You look... God, you look amazing.
- Oh, that's Pilates. - Oh.
Yeah, I've been doing a little bit of that myself.
- Oh, yeah? - Yeah.
You are so full of shit.
You always have been.
Do you live around here?
You wanna, like, get a cup of coffee or something?
Oh, I would love to, but we gotta go. Adam's on call.
- Oh, right. Hey, man. - Hey. How's it going?
Good. It's going good.
So you got married, huh?
- Almost six years. Yeah. - Wow.
That's... six years. That's... You got that little prince...
Hey, honey, I can't find her puffs.
...cess. Princess.
They're in the car, babe.
I just got out of a pretty serious relationship myself.
I mean, I wanna settle down. Just... gotta be the right one.
Come on, Chip. You're never gonna settle down.
Daisy, she's tired.
Okay. Yeah, I know. You're right. Um...
Chip, we gotta go, but it was really good seeing you.
Yeah.
Still can't believe it, though.
Good to see you too. You three. See you.
She's on the phone a lot.
Yeah, well, that's 'cause she's got a job.
Hey, do you like wine?
Sorry, we're not open yet.
Hey, buddy. Whoa, man. What happened in here, man?
Did you do an after-party?
- No. Put that down. - Can I draw on the chalkboard?
- Yeah. - No. That's actually not helpful.
- So... - Cool it, dude.
- She could... - She can draw on the bottom half of it.
Well, don't tell me to cool it. And no, she can't. You can't!
Okay. Well, there's a nicer way to say that, Dennis.
Okay, listen, Cooler.
Did you come by here for any particular reason?
- Because I have a lot of... - Whoa, easy, dude.
There are little-girl eardrums around.
I didn't say anything bad.
Oh, sorry, yeah. I thought you were gonna say "shit" or "fuck" or something.
- Cooler! - You know what, guys?
I don't really have time for this.
I have a lot of shit to do before the inspector gets here. So out!
Ah!
Sorry.
- Fuck! - Dennis!
Out, please, out. All of us, out.
Jerry, hi.
Hi. How's it looking? Good, yeah. Yeah, no.
Four o'clock is perfect.
I... yeah, no, I'll be here. I am here.
And everything is in place. Okay.
Fuck!
Hey.
What do you want?
I was just in the neighborhood, and...
Actually, that's a lie, I... I came here to see you two.
Avery, go inside and play.
I'm sorry to just show up like this.
Well, at least you're alone this time.
Yeah. That's actually kind of why I'm here.
I wanted to apologize for the other night. I'm...
I was an asshole.
You trusted me, and I took advantage of that, and I'm sorry.
I've been in kind of a tailspin the last few days.
Years.
I'm just not sure...
what's up or down.
Hey, so I thought, maybe to make it up to you
that I could take you...
take you guys for a beach day.
- A beach day? - Yeah.
You, me and, um...
- Avery? - Avery.
Yeah, just to get to know each other's names better.
- Chip, what are you doing? - What do you mean?
- Don't you have a girlfriend? - What?
Oh, London? No. I mean...
No, we...
No, she was just too...
too restless for me.
Yeah, I just... I moved on.
In two days?
I just wanna build on something,
like, a more solid, like, foundation.
You know this is insane, don't you?
The idea that you would come here,
say sorry, take us out on a "beach day" and then what?
- We'd become a family? - No. No, I'm not... I just...
I feel like I really missed an opportunity here.
- And I... - It's okay.
I mean, I put out the signals that I was lonely
and desperate and whatever.
And clearly, that's something I have to work on,
especially when Avery's at her dad's.
But you are not the answer for me, Chip. You...
I need stable, reliable... Somebody that I can trust.
I just ran into your neighbor, Martha. She's a coolio.
She asked if those trash cans out there in the street are yours.
And if they are, I can go get 'em for you if you want.
- Hey, Chip. - Hey, man.
What's up?
Yeah, you know what? I actually gotta go, so...
What? Like right away, man?
I'm gonna make my hash-free hash brownies for the girls.
Oh, well, that sounds really nice.
- No, I do have to... - Are you sure, man?
'Cause I'm using coconut sugar 'cause it's lower on the glycemic index.
- Oh, no kidding? - Yeah.
That's...
Hey, Chipper. One last thing, dude.
- Have you talked to Dennis at all today? - No, why?
'Cause I went by the store, man, and he seemed real, like, you know.
- No, I don't. Real what? - Agitated, man.
Like, he totally snapped at Avery
and all she was trying to do was, like, draw on the chalkboard, man.
Well, he's got a lot going on, you know,
with the store opening up and Rosa...
closing down.
Plus we got into it last night. I...
Cool. Did you guys straighten it out between the two of you, man?
'Cause Dennis, when you guys aren't talking, is all sad.
Yeah, I'll talk to him. I'm gonna head by the store right now.
Yeah.
Hey, man, just one last thing.
You're not mad at me or anything, right? You don't think I'm a swooper?
No, man, no. I'm happy for you.
Awesome. Okay. I'm happy for me too, man.
She's great. I love spending time with her.
It actually makes me think of when you told me about Tilly.
And it was right after she walked out on you,
and you were real cut-up about it.
And I remember you saying that when you spend time with her,
it was like you were in a warm bath.
Bathed in a warm light.
Right, yeah. I always misremember that.
But I get it now, I've felt that. It's cool.
Well, that's great, man. You deserve it.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
Man, those were fun times, huh?
- Yeah. - That's pretty much when we met.
I was selling weed for Jerry, and I went over to his house.
And you and Tilly were there and we just got...
so baked. And laughed all night.
Yeah.
- Cooler... - Yeah, what's up, man? One last thing?
Yeah. Do you have the keys to the Minnie Winnie?
- I think I left my shirt in there. - Oh, yeah.
Thanks.
Move over. Sorry.
Fuck. Fuck.
I'm sorry, Tilly, he just came in.
Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, listen. I didn't come here to fight.
Would you give us a minute?
Um...
- Talked to your dad. - He told me.
Oh, you and Jerry are talking again. That's great.
He calls me when he wants something. You two are more alike than you think.
So listen, I've been thinking.
And I thought a lot about you,
about us,
about what we had, and what happened,
how it all played out, and I just...
I keep coming back to the same thing.
We were great together.
We were. We were really right for each other. I...
I never loved anybody the way I loved you. And to tell you the truth...
- I still love you. - Man.
You must really want something big.
Tilly, I'm not playing you. I'm serious.
Let's get back together, let's start a family.
Oh, my God, Chip. What's wrong with you?
Nothing. It's what people do.
Well, you're not people. And I have a girlfriend.
Yeah, but it's how I feel.
It's how you felt ten or 15 years ago, maybe.
But not now.
You gotta get into the now, Chip.
Because the past doesn't exist?
What about that girl? Jerry told me you two shacked up together.
We did, but it's... That's in the past.
Chip, it makes me sad that I'm still the person you come to
when things go bad for you.
Is Dennis not around?
Oh, he's busy with his...
- He's got a new wine store. - How is it?
Is he freaking out about the inspector?
- Jerry told you about it? - I told Jerry.
It was my idea to rent one of his properties.
Dennis talked to you about his wine store?
How do you think he got the money?
You.
I had to. He found out about the accident.
So what? You bought him a fuckin' wine store?
I had to make sure he kept his mouth shut.
And he didn't even fuckin' tell me about it.
It's kinda perfect, actually.
He always wanted to be just like you.
Fuck.
Shit.
- Hey. - Hey, man.
I gotta get outta here in like two seconds to meet the inspector.
- So whatever it is... - Just talked to Tilly.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. She told me about the store and...
how you've been lying to me all this time.
Come on, man.
I haven't done anything to you that you hadn't done to me like a million times.
- Oh, so you did that out of revenge? - Oh, fuck you.
Oh, man, I thought you were my friend.
Seriously? You can say that to me and keep a straight face?
I never deliberately set out to hurt you.
Neither did I.
This has nothing to do with you, man. I always wanted a store.
Yeah, ever since I had one. Come on, Dennis, admit it.
You always wanted to be me. I mean, talk about a swoop.
You really think that this world just revolves around you, don't you?
Shit!
- Here. Let me do this. - I got it.
- No, you don't got it.
What, you just got tired of waiting in the wings?
Got lonely up on the high road?
So you just... you lied, and you lied, and betrayed those closest to you, and...
now you're getting what you say you always wanted.
Well, the joke's on you, buddy.
'Cause I've been me for years
and all it's left me is unhappy and lonely.
I hope it works out better for you. There you go.
Oh, shit. There he is!
- What's up? - How you doing?
What can I get you? The uzhe?
- Yeah. That's a good place to start. - You got it.
How 'bout the uzhe again?
"And the princess fell asleep and slept for a million years."
I think you should come sleep in with me tonight.
I'm really busting shapes now, Rosa. You're really missing out.
What? Oh, shit.
Hey, Mom, I... no. I totally meant to call you.
Rosa? She's nobody. I love her.
Hello?
I like what you've done with the place.
Oh, the...
no walls, no past. That it?
Chip...
It's a joke, man.
- London's not here. - I know.
So she told you, then, that it's over between us?
I mean, I don't mind that she did.
- It's just... - She didn't.
I'm sorry.
Well, it's in the past, right?
You're not gonna see her again?
- No. Don't plan on it. - Well, that's a shame.
'Cause I was gonna... ask you to give her this.
I don't know where she is.
Oh, she went home.
"Unfinished business," she said. Very mysterious.
Yeah, she plays that card a lot.
All right, well, um...
Sorry to bother you.
Hey, Karel?
You really believe all that shit?
That the...
"wake doesn't power the boat," all that?
The fact is, too many of us let events that happened in the past
cast a shadow over what we're doing in the present.
It just doesn't seem right to me.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I don't always get through to everyone.
Well, you got through to London.
Guess she figured I was part of her past, and...
- cut me loose. - That's...
No, she never talked about you like that.
Rosa?
Rosa? Hey, I'm really sorry.
I don't mean to keep calling you like this,
but I'm really drunk right now.
And I was thinking that I could be honest.
Hey, I'm really drunk right now.
So that means I'm not an alcoholic.
So that means that we can get back together.
We can get back together. Rosa!
