- Why would you?
All right.
Tomas, could you please sit down?
Why? Just say what you're gonna say, please.
[Maria] Would you sit down, please?
Thank you.
[Tomas] Should I sit here where my name is?
[Maria] That'd be great.
[Vineke] Oh, I'll just hold my tongue.
Everything okay, Vineke?
This is, this is an intervention.
This is an intervention.
For what?
[Maria] The only way this is gonna work
is if I'm the only one that talks out of turn.
Because if there's one person that talks out of,
otherwise we're gonna break into fighting.
And really, we've had enough of that. So...
This is stupid.
I came here to celebrate your wedding,
not to have a f***ing intervention.
[Maria] Well, that's why I asked you to come a day early.
Because we really want to get
this settled before we get married.
Get this, I'm sorry, this is our life, not yours.
Oh, did you happen to know
that your life affects our lives?
Hello, have you noticed this yet?
Maybe if you took a step back
and dealt with your own life.
Honestly, honestly none of you have been there for me.
None of you have been there for me,
[Felice] Okay, that is not true,
and that's not fair.
- [Vineke] That isn't true.
- Yeah, okay.
[Vineke] Look, how come we follow you
when you decide to go run off with some other guy?
[Maria] Wait, wait, wait, Vineke.
That's not fair either.
[Maria] Felice, everybody.
Thank you.
We are here because we love both of you.
We're here because you're getting married,
and I'm trying to support you in your marriage.
I don't know why,
why would you even come?
Tomas, I asked you to come a day early.
That's why we're here today early.
Yeah, we thought...
What we're going to do...
You know what I'd like to know?
Why you're here a day early.
I feel like you're ganging up on us, actually,
is what I feel like.
Can you please not talk to each other?
You can talk to me.
I would like to know why she's here a day early.
I was invited.
[Maria] This is about all of your friends and family
coming to tell you how much we love you,
and how sad we are that things
are getting so out of control.
[Vineke] And it's about Sam.
Well, honestly, let's be...
You know what? F*** it.
[Maria] Things have gotten really out of control lately.
Yes, they have.
I was almost in jail because of this f***er.
Let's talk about who is really out of line.
Okay, what my lawyer does is not what I do, okay?
[Maria] Please don't talk directly to each other.
Please talk to me.
[Alis] I'm sorry, this is bullshit.
Alis.
Here's the deal:
You can walk out the door, it's okay.
But if you do,
if either of you do,
you need to know, that's it.
We're done.
I won't be helping you see Sam anymore.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- Well, you have to.
That's actually court-mandated.
You're f***ing threatening us now?
[Maria] If either of you walk out the door, that's it.
We are not a part of your lives anymore.
We love you and we are here to help you.
It feels manipulative to me, to be honest.
[Maria] Well, I'm sorry it feels that way,
but would you please humor us?
Thank you.
Got your security blanket here,
he's standing outside.
- [Maria] Tomas.
- F*** you.
(Bottles clinking)
Hey.
How's it going?
What's up?
Um, can I help you out with that?
[Ben] Nah, I've got it.
All right.
Shitty day, huh?
Just like a storm, probably.
Yeah.
Got a lot of beer there.
Yeah, it's for the wedding.
[Marc] Yeah, it's quite a lot, man.
Do you want a beer?
Aw, pff.
I mean, no, no, no.
It's kind of, it's kind of early for beer, right?
I mean, whatever, man.
Have one or have not, you know?
Whatever you've gotta do.
You're cool with it?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay, cool.
Thanks.
Yep.
Sorry, I mean, I'm Marc.
Yeah, I know who you are.
You're going out with Alis, right?
Yeah.
We're comrades in arms.
What does that mean?
[Marc] We're both going through, uh, shitty divorces.
Sorry to hear that, buddy.
It's cool.
I'm a big boy.
I can take it.
I think.
Wait.
Ben, right?
Yep.
Oh, sh*t.
Please tell me you're not the guy that Tomas thought was me.
Oh, sh*t.
Dude, you caught so much sh*t for that.
I did.
And you're still here.
I am.
Whatever, man.
F*** Tomas. I hate him.
Yeah, f*** Tomas.
Why don't you join me?
[Tomas] Are all you guys part of this?
Yes.
Were all of us affected by the way
that you guys are behaving? Yes?
[Alis] I don't understand what the end-game is here.
What is the point of this?
The point is to talk.
To talk.
[Alis] You think we don't talk?
- [All] No.
- We don't know.
You don't talk.
[Maria] All right, all right, all right.
You think it's gonna be any different
by putting us in this situation?
I feel that this is personal,
and that you're making it very public,
and it makes me uncomfortable.
[Maria] We are all of your friends.
Would you let her know it is personal,
that it's been personally affecting all of us?
[Alis] What are you so angry about?
I don't understand what you're so angry about.
Just because you are heartbroken,
and dealing with your own grief,
doesn't mean you should take it out on us.
[Maria] Okay, the whole point is not to be judgemental.
[Vineke] Hello, what about Sam?
That's really what this is about.
What about Sam in G?
That's the reason why I'm here,
is to see my daughter,
and she's not even here, so.
So, she's coming tomorrow.
And I would prefer it if what's-his-face wasn't here.
He has a name.
You know he has a name.
All right, all right, Marc, yeah.
Marc.
Well, I'm with him.
And this is a wedding.
I get a plus one.
I'm not gonna apologise for that.
I would like to...
Well, Sam is arriving tomorrow, okay,
and I don't want him around her.
Well, they've met, and they have a great relationship.
Oh yeah, oh, great.
So you guys get to go and play f***ing house,
while I'm not there?
[Maria] That's not what this is about.
That is what this is about.
It's about my daughter.
Listen, just because you have
no personal life outside of hers,
- Oh, f*** you, okay, Alis?
- it's not my fault.
F*** you.
(Rain falls)
This is nice.
[Alis] Honestly, I have done
nothing wrong in this situation.
Following the heart...
Right, you were that innocent f***ing virgin.
It is not wrong to divorce someone,
so sue me!
I'm sorry that you're hurting.
- I did sue you.
[Alis] You think I'm not hurting?
We can't even agree on anything.
[Alis] That's the whole reason why we're here.
[Maria] Like I said before,
I understand how hurt you are by this.
This is so f***ing ridiculous.
None of you guys f***ing understand anything.
Right, that's why I don't even talk to you anymore!
It's why I never say f***ing anything to you!
(Shouting)
I'm the only one thinking about Sam!
(Rain patters)
I like the sound of the rain.
(Imitates rain)
I love sleeping in the rain, actually.
Not like, not like that, know what I'm saying, just...
