00:33We're somewhere in between
00:37Good morning.
00:38Hey.
00:41Got some Jameson.
00:43If you want a little extra help getting through this.
00:45Why not?
00:47Not every day you go to your mom's will reading.
00:52Why do we have to have a formal reading anyway?
00:55Feels like we're in that movie.
00:56You know the one with the James Bond guy?
00:58Where he has that crazy southern accent?
01:00Knives out.
01:01Yeah, that one.
01:05Can't believe she's gone.
01:07Yeah, I know.
01:10It didn't really feel real until today.
01:15Yeah, well...
01:17Let's get this over with.
01:25Your pacing game is intense. I almost can't look away.
01:29Why do I even have to be there?
01:30It's just how will readings are.
01:32I know, but surely the lawyer can just send me whatever Sue left me in the will.
01:35I mean, I loved Sue. I really did. But I mean, let's face it.
01:40She probably left me some hideous piece of driftwood art that I'm gonna hate treasure for the rest of my
01:44life.
01:46I don't want to see Sam.
01:48I know.
01:49I'm so embarrassed.
01:51You didn't do anything wrong.
01:52No, but I wanted to and I think he did too.
01:54And if Delilah hadn't walked in...
01:57I mean, he has a girlfriend.
01:58He does.
01:59Why did I even go there?
02:01Because this place has you all twisted.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Look, you came back here for Sue, right?
02:07And it was really brave knowing that you're gonna have to face the past.
02:10You just have to do it for like, a little bit longer now.
02:13I hate that you're always right.
02:15I know, I know.
02:17But it's a burden that I'm happy to carry.
02:19It's gonna be so awkward.
02:22Absolutely, yeah.
02:23But as your friend and your lawyer, you can do this.
02:29Armor on.
02:30Okay, we're gonna face this.
02:35Hang on, why are you in your lawyer outfit?
02:37You think I'm gonna let you face the Flork Boys alone?
02:39Absolutely not.
02:40Friend and lawyer on the job.
02:46I'm sorry we're meeting under these circumstances.
02:49Sue is quite a woman.
02:51And we all miss her.
02:53How long is this gonna take?
02:54Um, not long.
02:55We're just waiting for one more person.
02:57Who else would Mom put in her will?
03:01Lovely.
03:02Let's get started.
03:03What the hell?
03:04I'm as confused as you all are.
03:06Who are you?
03:06I'm Chantal, I'm Percy's lawyer.
03:08We haven't had the pleasure, but you must be Sam.
03:10You brought a lawyer to my mom's will reading?
03:12What the hell's going on?
03:13It's Fraser, there was no need to bring outside representation.
03:15Why are they even here?
03:16Do we need a lawyer?
03:17Technically that's me, for the estate.
03:18No, no, no, no one needs a lawyer.
03:20This is my friend who also happens to be a lawyer.
03:23Who's here strictly for moral support, I promise.
03:26Although I reserve the right to move from friend to lawyer on a case-by-case basis.
03:29Okay, okay.
03:30Sit down, please.
03:31Just be a bit longer.
03:32No longer.
03:36All right then.
03:37Now that we're all here, let's begin.
03:45Sue's will was fairly straightforward, so this should be quick.
03:50The entirety of Sue Floric's estate will be split evenly between her two sons, Charlie and Sam, with one exception.
03:57The tavern and all of its contents will be left solely to Persephone Fraser.
04:02Are you fucking kidding me?
04:04Holy shit.
04:04No.
04:06I...
04:07I...
04:07I don't understand.
04:09Are you sure?
04:10This has...
04:10This has to be a mistake.
04:11No, exactly.
04:12Why the hell would she do that?
04:13No mistake.
04:14Sue updated her will in 2021 to include this provision.
04:18I added it myself.
04:22These belong to you now.
04:23Un-fucking-believable.
04:25Sam, Sam.
04:26I had no idea.
04:27I swear.
04:28I don't want it, I promise.
04:29As your lawyer, I advise you to stop talking.
04:31I don't want it.
04:32It isn't mine.
04:33It belongs to your family.
04:34Can we at least just talk about it?
04:35I don't have time for you right now.
04:36I need to go talk to my brother.
04:38I...
04:38I don't...
04:39I don't want it.
04:40My client is in shock.
04:41This is not an official resignation of said property.
04:43Okay.
04:47Did you see Sam's face?
04:51How did you talk me into this?
04:53Same way I always do.
04:54Sheer charm, shameless persistence.
04:58You smell like summer.
05:00Good.
05:01Because now that you're here, it can officially begin.
05:04Oh, I missed you, Persephone Fraser.
05:06Right.
05:06If I catch you, Sam-wise.
05:08Are we really doing this?
05:09I was sort of hoping it was just an elaborate prank.
05:11You're gonna love it.
05:12I promise.
05:14Did you read the training plan I sent?
05:15Couch to 5K?
05:16The Lazy Girl's Guide to Not Dying.
05:18So, so inspiring.
05:20That wasn't the title.
05:21It was heavily, heavily implied.
05:23Okay.
05:24Well, first we're gonna run an easy 3K.
05:273K?
05:27Easy.
05:28Speak for yourself.
05:29Remember, I'm both the couch and the lazy girl in this scenario.
05:32Look, I'll pace us, okay?
05:33By the end of the summer, we're gonna be running all the way to town and back.
05:36How delightfully hideous.
05:37Where's the part where I get to eat waffles and go back to bed?
05:43Converse?
05:44Seriously?
05:45Those are not running shoes.
05:46I sent you like three articles on the importance of running shoes.
05:48I skimmed the headlines.
05:49They're shoes.
05:50It'll be fine.
05:51Come on.
06:07Oh, crap.
06:08But how is this even possible?
06:10So much for all those smack-talking emails about how this is gonna be the summer of self-improvement.
06:16Wow, you are killing us.
06:18Fine, I'll cut you a break.
06:22Three updates?
06:23You first.
06:24Okay, Grandma.
06:26Uh, number one.
06:27I finally binge-watched all four seasons of Game of Thrones.
06:30The Red Wedding?
06:32Brutal.
06:33Uh, number two.
06:35Jordy.
06:35Finally got him to play World of Warcraft with me.
06:37And, of course, he's addicted.
06:39He even downloaded the Warlords of Draenor expansion pack.
06:43You turned Jordy into your emotional support door.
06:45Got it.
06:46And last but not least, I'm applying for an after-school internship at the hospital.
06:51That's awesome.
06:52Yeah.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Real doctor stuff.
06:53Shadowing and everything.
06:55Show off.
06:56Okay, your turn.
06:58Okay.
06:59Um, well, school, obviously.
07:01Mostly I'm just consumed by this evil writing seminar.
07:04It's just structure and mechanics and crap.
07:06It's making me think too much.
07:08And that's a problem because...
07:11Because I can't get out of my head.
07:12The flow isn't happening.
07:14It feels like work.
07:16I am so glad I decided to become a doctor.
07:19It sounds way easier.
07:21I forgot how pretty it was in the morning.
07:24I am so jumping in right now!
07:38Oh!
07:39Come on!
07:46Oh my gosh!
07:47Yes!
07:47This is perfection!
07:49So are you coming in or what?
07:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
07:56oh, oh, oh.
07:56Still looking for your God to heal me.
07:59Right now I should be OK.
08:04What if I love you?
08:10There's something I need to tell you.
08:13OK.
08:16Something I'm not sure you're going to want to hear.
08:22Just say it.
08:26I hate running, and nothing you say or do will ever make me want to do it again.
08:30OK, got it.
08:31No more running.
08:32There's, like, a tiny, tiny, minuscule part of me that understands why you like it.
08:38Good to know the tiniest bit of you understands me.
08:40No.
08:41Even though every muscle in my body was screaming earlier, I feel pretty good now.
08:47Right?
08:48That's the runner's eye.
08:49I mean, I wouldn't go that far.
08:52But there's something about it.
08:55It's like I was in so much pain for about half a minute.
09:00I couldn't obsess over my stupid story.
09:05Took the edge off.
09:08That's why I do it.
09:11Starting to do it midterms this year.
09:22Have you ever thought about swimming across it?
09:29The lake?
09:29Hmm.
09:31Ever since I saw it, I wondered if I could make it across.
09:37Maybe that's what I need this summer.
09:40Something big.
09:43Something impossible.
09:44To get me out of my head for a while.
09:49I think I need to swim across it.
09:54I'll help you train.
09:56I like the way you talk.
09:58I like the things you wear.
10:01Every time I turn around, you disappear.
10:09I want to blow your mind.
10:11You're okay.
10:13You're okay.
10:26You're okay.
10:31I like the way you talk.
10:33I like the things you wear.
10:36Every time I turn around, you disappear.
10:44What's your name?
10:47Baby, treat you.
10:49Too bad.
10:51Nice to meet you.
10:53What's your name?
10:55Baby, treat you.
10:58You're ready.
11:08You did it.
11:10Yes.
11:12Let's do this.
11:14You can do it.
11:15He's leaving you, kiddo.
11:16All right.
11:17Go Percy.
11:19Hey, language.
11:20Sorry.
11:20Sam, come on.
11:21Okay.
11:22Okay.
11:24All right, Percy, we got you.
11:25Oh, my gosh.
11:31Come on, sweetheart.
11:32Come on, Percy.
11:36I hadn't even spoken to Susan, Sam, and I ended things for good.
11:40I mean, it's so weird to me that she would change her will in 2021.
11:43I don't understand.
11:44Well, a lot of questionable things happened in 2021.
11:47Tiger King?
11:48Whipped coffee trend?
11:49The word choogy?
11:50I'm just trying to make you feel better.
11:52No, I need that.
11:53I can't get the look on Sam's face out of my head.
11:56It was so full of contempt.
11:58Like, I'd ruined everything all over again.
12:00I don't know.
12:01What was you thinking?
12:02I don't know, but she managed to cause a lot of drama from the grave.
12:04She knew about what I did.
12:06You have to stop punishing yourself.
12:08Uh, thank you.
12:09I don't think we're quite ready for...
12:11Okay.
12:12One of us is ready for round two.
12:13She sent these over.
12:15Oh.
12:17Thanks.
12:19Does day get any weirder?
12:20Oh, that's biting your tongue.
12:22Oh, fuck.
12:23She's going to grow me about last night.
12:24Hi.
12:25Hi.
12:26I just thought some congratulations were in order.
12:29For?
12:30For being the new owner of the tavern, silly.
12:33I heard, like, all about how Sue left it to you.
12:36Oh, already?
12:37Damn.
12:37This is a small town.
12:39I'm not sure congratulations is the word I'd use.
12:42No, that is true.
12:43It is such a double-edged sword.
12:44Sue left such a generous gift, but also quite the burden.
12:48Right.
12:48Running a seasonal enterprise, especially from afar,
12:50seems like a big responsibility.
12:52Yeah.
12:53Are you maybe thinking of selling?
12:57Why are you being so nice all of a sudden?
12:59Hmm?
13:02What do you want, Delilah?
13:04What?
13:05No, I just want to mark the occasion.
13:08You're biting your lower lip, which means you want something.
13:15Okay, fine.
13:16I want to buy the tavern from you.
13:26What the hell was that?
13:27You stormed out.
13:29What do you want me to do?
13:30Stay and congratulate her?
13:32No, instead you left me to deal with her.
13:33I just can't believe Mom did that.
13:36She made a monumental decision alone,
13:38and then blindsided us.
13:40And I'm supposed to just smile and act like everything's okay?
13:42Look, I agree.
13:43What Mom did was unexpected.
13:47And I'm not exactly thrilled that she left our family business to my ex-girlfriend,
13:50but why do you care?
13:52You're the one who wants to sell the place and get rid of it.
13:54I mean, that's all you've talked about.
13:55Because that should have been our decision.
13:57I've been working for weeks on lining up a buyer, and now...
14:00Hold up.
14:01You've been talking to buyers?
14:02Who?
14:03Delilah's been circling.
14:04She wants it.
14:07Delilah?
14:09So what, you've been plotting with her behind my back?
14:11Plotting?
14:12Really?
14:13Let's not get so dramatic.
14:14What am I supposed to call it?
14:15I mean, you were clearly hiding it from me.
14:17When were you going to tell me?
14:18After the sale?
14:19I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this.
14:24I obviously wasn't going to do anything without clearing it with you first.
14:28Selling isn't the worst idea, you know.
14:30Okay, picture it.
14:31Soho house at the lake.
14:33Like, bohemian chic, but, like, for rich people.
14:35Like, low lighting, velvet poof, signature cocktails, members only for instant mystique.
14:41Members only?
14:41I don't know what the hell a velvet poof is, but I'm in.
14:45I will be a founding member.
14:46Whoa, whoa.
14:47Members only?
14:49The tavern?
14:50Uh, that place is in desperate need for a little exclusivity.
14:54No, no, no, no, no.
14:55The tavern is for everyone.
14:57It's for locals, day fishers, tourists, kids.
15:01It's not for people who use summer as a verb.
15:03Yeah, but velvet poofs.
15:05No, no, exclusivity is what's ruining this entire town.
15:08Well, you can't stop progress, Percy.
15:11Progress?
15:12That's what you call all these cute little cottages being replaced by 7,000 square foot
15:17farmhouse McMansions with not an ounce of soul or character?
15:21Sorry, cute cottages?
15:23Mm-hmm.
15:24Most of those are termite-infested, moldy money pits.
15:26I mean, she's not wrong.
15:28Although I do agree that the modern farmhousing, it's overplayed.
15:32Well, it is for the best.
15:34I mean, even your old place is getting turned into a soulless McMansion.
15:39What?
15:39Mm-hmm.
15:40I mean, I knew it was being demolished, but to be replaced by one of those?
15:44Really?
15:45Mm-hmm.
15:46Word is.
15:47They're building a boathouse to make it look like a faux barn.
15:50No.
15:51No, no, no, no, no.
15:53No.
15:54Mm-mm.
15:56Oh!
15:57Oh, just a little higher and I can do it!
16:00Watch their feet!
16:01And why do you have so many limbs?
16:03How the hell did I get?
16:04I'm supposed to do this.
16:05I'm gonna go home.
16:06No, you are one of us now, so...
16:07No.
16:08Oh, yeah?
16:09Oh, my God!
16:10Oh, my God!
16:10Oh, my God!
16:12Ow!
16:12You just kicked me in the boob!
16:14Sorry.
16:15Just...
16:16Just a little more.
16:17I can make it.
16:18I need to use your core.
16:19All right, one, two, three...
16:21Oh, shit!
16:23Oh, shit!
16:25I'm okay!
16:54What is it?
16:56Percy!
16:57Are you lost?
16:58Come on, not a good.
17:00It's weird.
17:03In a few days, this won't be ours anymore.
17:06Yeah.
17:0948 hours and it officially belongs to Percy.
17:23You might be right about selling.
17:27This place was always kind of an albatross.
17:30But it was our albatross.
17:32I mean, we spent a lot of our lives in this room.
17:35I had my first beer here.
17:36So did you.
17:38Yeah, thanks to my irresponsible older brother.
17:40Hey, you were 16.
17:42Try 14.
17:44Yeah, well, you were so sick the next day, you swore up alcohol for a whole year.
17:49So think of it as a public service.
17:50Oh, and then you made me the best hangover breakfast burrito of my life.
17:55Do you remember that?
17:56Tater tots, leftover brisket, three kinds of cheese.
17:59Pretty much a masterpiece.
18:01Still chasing that eye.
18:04Let's not forget about the table here.
18:07Remember when all your ex-girlfriends sat together and plotted your demise?
18:10Yeah, you mean the Charlie's an asshole support group?
18:13Terrible tippers.
18:14Yeah.
18:16Funny, three seem like a low number.
18:17I figured the meeting would be much better attended.
18:22I can't believe all of this was just left here.
18:25It's like the Grey Gardens of Barry's Bay.
18:28They had sold to some developer.
18:30I guess no one really cares about this.
18:31Hey, this was my home.
18:34Not anymore.
18:36A lot's changed.
18:37Didn't seem like that last night.
18:40So if I didn't walk in on you and Sam, what would have happened?
18:43I don't know.
18:45At least you're honest.
18:46Yeah, well, I follow the standard Percy formula.
18:49One bad decision begets another bad decision.
18:52It's pretty much my life mantra.
18:54Oh, come on.
18:55You know it's true.
18:57The past few years I've been floating.
18:58I go to work, I go out, I drunk text one of my hookups, and I do it all over
19:04again.
19:05That sounds pretty amazing.
19:06I think the word you're looking for is tragic.
19:08No, that's what your 20s are supposed to be, not married.
19:11Going to a country club.
19:13That sounds awful.
19:13Yeah, well, it sucks.
19:15I haven't been in a real relationship since Sam.
19:20I think I might still be in love with him.
19:23Maybe I'm in love with the idea of him.
19:24Of us.
19:26What we used to be.
19:27I think I'm probably also holding on to the idea of something.
19:33Mm-hmm.
19:34Witt hasn't even been to the lake this summer.
19:37I haven't seen him in weeks.
19:38Wow.
19:38But everything you keep saying is just bullshit.
19:41It's all bullshit.
19:42We decided to take the summer apart.
19:46Kind of like a Kyle Mauricio situation.
19:50I have no idea what that means.
19:51We just wanted to see what our lives would look like separately.
19:54And if we wanted that.
19:56And then we've been miserable.
19:58I had no idea.
19:59You've been really good at hiding that.
20:02I think.
20:03I think that this is why I want the tavern so bad.
20:06It's just focus on something other than my marriage.
20:09My marriage failing.
20:10Just something that's mine.
20:12Not mine in wits.
20:13You know?
20:14Mm-hmm.
20:15If I feel like I need this.
20:17I understand.
20:19I don't want to get married.
20:20I'm sorry.
20:21Hearing you talk about your relationship,
20:22it makes me feel like I can't breathe.
20:25I thought you and Drew were happy.
20:26I think he is.
20:28But me, all I do is work.
20:31Then take a vacation.
20:32Relax.
20:34No, that's the problem.
20:35I don't want to.
20:36I like working.
20:38Actually, I love it.
20:39And I'm afraid that getting married will just get in the way of that.
20:42I'm confused.
20:43Marriage comes with the expectation that you're going to share your life.
20:45And I don't think I'm capable of that.
20:48Oh, no.
20:48I would stay single.
20:49Right?
20:49Stop.
20:51Drew loves you.
20:53I know you love him, too.
20:56You're just scared.
20:57You're so scared.
20:58It's okay.
20:58Maybe, maybe.
21:00I don't know.
21:00Maybe.
21:02Where's he?
21:04Oh, my God!
21:05What?
21:05Is there a spider?
21:06No.
21:06These are my old stories.
21:10Oh, man.
21:11I haven't seen these in years.
21:16I won't miss this.
21:17I used to hate doing this.
21:19Me, too.
21:20The amount of random, weird, sticky substances I've wiped off this bar.
21:25I guess that's Percy's problem, though.
21:28What was Mom thinking?
21:30She wasn't.
21:31No, no.
21:32She wouldn't do something this big for no reason.
21:34I mean, she always had a reason.
21:35I just wish I knew what it was.
21:41What?
21:45Mom, well, she didn't always make the best decisions.
21:50Leaving the tavern to Percy sort of tracks.
21:52What are you talking about?
21:53She was incredible.
21:56Warm, smart.
21:57Had her shit together.
21:58Not always.
22:00What do you mean?
22:03After Dad died, she kind of fell apart.
22:06Yeah, I mean, she was grieving.
22:08Yeah.
22:09She was running this place, taking care of us.
22:11No, she wasn't.
22:13That first year, you were 11.
22:15Maybe you don't remember.
22:16Or maybe you didn't see it.
22:17I tried to hide it from you.
22:18See what?
22:21Mom was...
22:24dark.
22:27Down.
22:28I guess some shrink might even say depressed.
22:32Sometimes she would just stay in her pajamas all day.
22:35What are you talking about?
22:36She went to work.
22:37Not often.
22:38Sometimes I would come home from school
22:39and she'd just be sitting at the kitchen table, staring.
22:43It was scary.
22:45I don't remember any of this.
22:48That's because I tried to just keep things going for us.
22:51That was the year we did sugar cereal rotation.
22:54Yeah.
22:54Yeah, Monday was pretty bubbles.
22:56And Friday was Frosted Flakes.
22:58That was because I was doing the grocery shopping that year.
23:01Damn.
23:04I didn't know that.
23:05I didn't want you to know.
23:07As long as you were getting your homework done and made it to school.
23:11How did I miss this?
23:13Sam, you were just a kid.
23:14Yeah, but you were just 14.
23:16I mean, that shouldn't have been on you.
23:19It was my job to protect you.
23:22She got better.
23:23And things got better.
23:25But...
23:27And I feel bad for saying this.
23:33But I'm still so pissed at her.
23:40She left us alone that year.
23:50You're a good big brother, Charlie.
23:54I love you guys.
23:56We, like, need more love in this world, right?
23:59Especially as women.
24:01Yes, hard to agree.
24:02Like, if we don't have each other's backs, who else will?
24:07I feel so good.
24:09You doing it?
24:10Yes, I'm doing it.
24:11I'm doing it.
24:11I'm doing it.
24:11I'm doing it.
24:12No, I just, I miss having girlfriends.
24:15Ever since I got married, we just have a couple friends.
24:17And the wives are so basic.
24:21Boring.
24:21I hate them.
24:22You are way more interesting than that.
24:25I know.
24:26I am.
24:27Yes, of course.
24:28And I just, I want real relationships.
24:30I...
24:31And I used to have them when I was younger.
24:34Right, Percy?
24:36What?
24:37I mean, I was a good friend, wasn't I?
24:42You were.
24:50And I was actually a good writer.
24:53I mean, some of this is beyond cringe, but there's a fearlessness here.
24:58I don't think I could write like this anymore.
25:02What happened?
25:03I had so much confidence.
25:06Woo!
25:07Come on, Percy!
25:09Don't for me!
25:11You got this!
25:13Come on, Percy!
25:14You got this!
25:15Come on, Percy!
25:15Woo!
25:16Go!
25:17Come on, Miss.
25:17Come on.
25:18Hey, Mom, let's go meet him at the halfway point.
25:20Yes, okay.
25:21Come on, sweet Percy!
25:22Come on, Percy!
25:24Come on, Percy!
25:25Come on!
25:27Easy, easy work.
25:37You are doing so well.
25:39I'm so proud of you.
25:50Go, Percy!
25:51Yeah, Percy!
25:53Keep going!
25:58Woo!
26:00Woo!
26:03Woo!
26:04Woo!
26:05Woo!
26:05Woo!
26:08Woo!
26:09Woo!
26:10Woo!
26:25Ah!
26:26Nice!
26:27Yes!
26:27Yes!
26:30So close!
26:31Fuck!
26:33Killing it! Look at this! Come on!
26:55You are a total badass!
26:57Badass!
26:59I mean, you just did that without any breaks.
27:01You were like a machine. That was insane.
27:11He's so pretty.
27:13Did you just say I was pretty?
27:17Wait, I said that out loud?
27:19Yeah, you are totally out of it.
27:22Totally.
27:23Oh, my legs feel like jello.
27:25I'm pretty sure my lungs are on fire.
27:28Drink.
27:41I am so freakin' proud of you.
27:45I'm pretty freakin' proud of me, too.
28:08And you're kicking me because...
28:11Too much adrenaline to dead still.
28:13Making it across the lake, I feel like I could take on anything.
28:16I mean, is there such a thing as a swimmer's high?
28:17Well, you conquered the water.
28:19I think you can invent whatever you want.
28:26Wow, that must be a really fascinating book.
28:29You've been reading it all summer.
28:31Yep.
28:31Good plot line.
28:32Riveting.
28:33Are you giving me shit for studying?
28:36No!
28:36No shit-giving here.
28:37Okay.
28:46I like concentrating, Sam.
28:48It's cute.
28:51Yeah?
28:53Yeah.
28:55Whoa!
28:56That looks like something that's supposed to be in one of my stories.
28:59Well, that skinless guy is nightmarish, even for me.
29:02It's a diagram of the muscular system.
29:04Okay.
29:05Oh.
29:05So, like, the calf muscle?
29:09Exactly.
29:10The thing you use when you're pretending to run.
29:13Good to know.
29:19I don't know.
29:20Did you, uh...
29:23Did you learn anything else from that book of yours?
29:29Want to enlighten me, genius?
29:37Hey, I guess I'll have to find some other...
29:42future doctor...
29:43to educate me...
29:45and...
29:46No, no.
29:47I got it.
29:57Hey, cool.
30:02And this is your knee.
30:05I thought you were smart.
30:07What grade level's that book?
30:12The vastus medialis.
30:15The vastus lateralis.
30:25The tensor...
30:27the fascia latte.
30:33Are you done with the anatomy lesson, or...
30:37or should I keep going?
30:57Are we doing this?
31:00Hell yeah.
31:01We're doing this.
31:13You two have spent a lot of time together this summer.
31:17So...
31:17I think it's time we have a little chat.
31:20Oh, my God, Mom, no.
31:21If you're sexually active...
31:24We're not.
31:25We're not.
31:25I mean, I was 16 once.
31:28And I think we can guess where this is going.
31:30Oh, no.
31:31No, Mom.
31:32Sam, people fall in love and have sex.
31:34Even your mother.
31:36And I know how close you two are.
31:38I mean, this is not just something casual.
31:42It's so much more than that.
31:45And, you know, sometimes these beautiful relationships can get,
31:48you know, complicated and even messy.
31:52People can get hurt.
31:53That won't happen with us.
31:55Well, I know you don't want it to.
31:57And I don't want that for you either.
31:58But you want to be a doctor.
32:00And, Percy, you want to be a writer.
32:02You have dreams.
32:03We do.
32:04And I don't want you to forget them.
32:06Because they're your dreams.
32:09Sometimes falling in love can make you walk away from those.
32:14You know, it's just things can get hard.
32:17So just promise me that you won't forget what you want out of life.
32:20I promise.
32:24Yeah.
32:31I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow.
32:35Yeah, I don't want you to leave.
32:38I don't think the mosquitoes want me to leave either.
32:53What?
32:55You're being weird.
32:59I've just been thinking.
33:02Yeah?
33:04About us.
33:08Thinking about us.
33:09Oh, my God.
33:10Are you going to say we're making a mistake?
33:12No.
33:12No.
33:13No.
33:13No.
33:13God, no.
33:14No.
33:14Look, we...
33:15This...
33:16We are so far from a mistake.
33:21You are...
33:23Maybe the best thing that's ever happened to me.
33:27Okay.
33:27Good.
33:29Good.
33:34Because you're important to me, Percy.
33:40You're my best friend.
33:44Tim, is this the, I just want to be friends thing?
33:46Because I thought we were past that.
33:50I just...
33:52I've never...
33:54I don't know how to do this.
33:55And I'm really afraid to screw it all up, which I really feel like I'm doing right now, because I
33:59just want to get it right.
34:01I'm ready to get it right.
34:04I'm ready.
34:08Yeah, but...
34:10I mean, you leave tomorrow...
34:13For a year.
34:15I mean, we both have our own lives, Percy.
34:17My internship at the hospital.
34:18Your writing seminar.
34:19So?
34:22So, it's...
34:23Junior year.
34:26I have so much pressure on me right now.
34:28I...
34:30I can't go to college without a scholarship.
34:32I have to focus.
34:34Or all my plans will get screwed up.
34:43Will you look at me, please?
34:50So we just go back to before?
34:52Date other people?
34:57I don't want another girlfriend.
34:59I want you.
35:03Would I be a giant asshole if I said that we shouldn't be together right now and then I still
35:07asked you not to be with anyone else?
35:08That's not fair.
35:14Even if it is exactly what I want.
35:18You're an asshole either way.
35:46Yes!
35:48Ah!
36:03No, no, no.
36:03Oh, the cops are coming up the driveway.
36:05Um, okay.
36:05Getting arrested is not going to help me make a partner.
36:07So...
36:08We're getting up.
36:08We're going.
36:09We don't do well in these situations.
36:10You...
36:10Well, you're doing well right now.
36:11Okay.
36:11You gotta go.
36:12Let's go.
36:12I'm coming!
36:13Just let me...
36:14Guys!
36:14Guys!
36:16Guys!
36:17Guys!
36:17Hurry up!
36:18Guys!
36:18Guys!
36:19Guys!
36:19Guys!
36:19Hurry up!
36:20Hey, buddy!
36:20Is that my thing?
36:21Come down with your hands up!
36:26Oh God!
36:27Yeah, my God!
36:27Hey, I hit the buckle.
36:28Go ahead!
36:30Go ahead!
36:31Go ahead!
36:32Go ahead!
36:33Go ahead!
36:34Go ahead!
36:34Go ahead!
36:34Go ahead!
36:35Go ahead!
36:42Go ahead!
36:48Go ahead!
36:51I didn't need you to come here.
36:56Wow, okay, so no thank you?
37:02You know what, next time I just won't come.
37:04Yeah, that sounds about right.
37:05What the hell is that supposed to mean?
37:07Tired of the mixed signals.
37:09Mixed signals?
37:10Yes.
37:11You showing up here.
37:14Let's swim in the lake yesterday.
37:15What was that?
37:16Two people swimming.
37:17Uh-huh, sure.
37:19What about when you invited me to the tavern
37:21for some kind of late-night quasi-date situation?
37:23I-I just wanted your help.
37:25Right, you wanted to what?
37:27Hang out, catch up?
37:28Because it sure felt like you wanted something more.
37:31I-I can't do this anymore.
37:35I can't do this anymore, any of it.
37:39I'm so tired of being jerked around by you.
37:43You reel me in and then you pull away.
37:48I-I always thought you were a constant in my life
37:50when we were young.
37:52But you're not at all.
37:53Excuse me?
37:53I never know where I stand with you.
37:56You want me and then you don't.
37:57It's-
37:58My heart can't take it anymore.
38:00It's confusing and hurtful and deeply unfair.
38:03And I'm sure Taylor would feel the same way.
38:12You're right.
38:16I don't know what I was thinking.
38:19I guess I-I just got...
38:22confused.
38:26Seeing you again, it...
38:28brought up feelings
38:32from when we were kids.
38:36Me too.
38:39But that was then and this is now.
38:47It was wrong.
38:50And I'm sorry.
38:52I-It won't happen again.
39:02Whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:11Whoa, whoa, whoa.
39:15Whoa, whoa.
39:34Hey, kiddo.
39:35Hey, Dad.
39:39I don't know what to do.
39:41Well, maybe the tavern's the change you need.
39:44What? No, no, that's not what you meant to say.
39:48Hey, Dad.
39:49You know that Sue called me the day your first byline ran in the Seattle Times?
39:54She did?
39:55Your mom and I were so proud to see your name in print.
39:58But Sue, she wanted to make sure you weren't abandoning your fiction writing.
40:03She knew how talented you were, how talented you are.
40:06I had no idea you were still in touch.
40:09I thought you and Mom wanted nothing to do with Barry's Bay after what happened.
40:13Well, your mom wanted to run away.
40:15Which I understand, you know, we were terrified.
40:19But sometimes I wonder if, you know, we did the right thing in leaving for you.
40:24But this place is painful.
40:27I know.
40:30But it's also the only place I've seen you truly inspired.
40:36I think when we left the lake, you didn't just lose Sam, you lost a little bit of yourself, too.
40:46I couldn't write anymore.
40:48It's like I lost the joy of it.
40:50Maybe Sue knew that.
40:51I don't think it's a coincidence she changed her will shortly after our talk.
40:56There's something about the lake.
40:57It's like I feel the most like me.
41:01You, uh, you'd come back from a swim, be full of ideas, and we wouldn't see you until dinner.
41:07I haven't felt like that since.
41:11Well, since I left, really.
41:17But I can't, I can't be in the same place as Sam or Charlie.
41:22Mom's right.
41:23They're, they're bad for me.
41:25After the funeral, they will leave and go back to their lives.
41:28But what if you're supposed to stay?
41:32Charlie, do you remember when you were training to swim the lake that summer?
41:37What was it that you used to always say?
41:41The only way to the other side is through.
41:46Maybe that still applies.
41:48Hmm?
42:00What's here in this room is sacred as truth, as brief as a prayer.
42:11Ooh, set my grip, cause I know what this is.
42:21We're passers by, chips in the night.
42:54You were right about mom.
42:56She didn't always make the best decisions.
43:00Yeah.
43:03Maybe she thought leaving Percy the tavern would help her in some way, but...
43:08doesn't help me and I'm her son.
43:15Percy being here...
43:19is bad for me.
43:22Okay.
43:24Then we'll contest the will.
43:28Look, I know we haven't always seen eye-to-eye.
43:32But you've always been there for me, Charlie.
43:35Constant.
43:37I feel like you're the only person I can really trust right now.
43:44Yeah.
43:45Absolutely.
43:47We gotta trust each other, Sam.
43:50No matter what.
43:53I got you.
43:56You always have.
43:59And I always will.
44:14I know you won't be hard to recognize.
44:21Anywhere in any other life.
44:25Anywhere in any other life.
44:27Oh, I refuse to say goodbyes.
44:32Cause I know this won't be the only time.
44:40Yeah.
44:41Till we meet again.
44:51Until we meet again.
44:57Till we meet again.
44:59Till we meet again.
45:03Till we meet again.
45:06Ships in the night
45:09One in a million stars in the sky
45:15You and I
45:18Like waves of time
45:21Oh, I refuse to say goodbye
45:26Until we meet again
45:33Until we meet again
45:39Until we meet again
45:44Until we meet again
46:14We'll be right back
46:32We'll be right back
46:41We'll be right back
47:00We'll be right back
47:08We'll be right back
47:27We'll be right back
47:36We'll be right back
47:51We'll be right back
47:54We'll be right back
48:02We'll be right back
48:08We'll be right back
48:08We'll be right back
48:10We'll be right back
