You're welcome.

[Sila] Oh, my God.

What is your name?

[Cybil] Cybil.

But you are like, the poster child

for like, a f***ing nice person, right?

(Cybil laughs)

You actually think I'm funny.

[Cybil] Thank you. Thank you.

[Marc] She's getting married today.

Did you know that?

[Sila] No.

[Marc] Yeah, that's why I'm here.

[Sila] Really? You're here for a wedding?

Oh my god.

Okay, wait, Marc, for just one second

I want to hear there are like, weird happy stories.

Who are you marrying?

No way.

Seriously? Gay marriage?

[Cybil] So gay.

So gay.

Wow.

Marriage. Ha...

(Phone rings)

Whose phone is ringing?

It's the home, it's the home phone.

[Sila] Home phone?

Go ahead, get the phone.

Hello?

[Sila] Who is it?

I don't know, it's a guy.

It's a recording.

[Sila] What's it say?

Did you not pay your bill?

[Cybil] No, it's about the hurricane.

They want us to shut down all the,

to turn off our electricity, and things like that.

Okay, hang up, hang up.

That's one of the, okay, come on back.

Who's gonna be, one, two, three.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Nine, 10.

Even!

That's, that works nicely.

So, one, two, three, are my friends.

And then, yeah, ha.

Okay, yeah, I'll let you be my friend.

Hang in there, babe.

It'll all be over soon.

Right?

You can do anything if there's a time limit on it.

And seriously, you can.

You can do anything.

You can do anything, so we're gonna make team Sila,

and we're gonna make team Marc,

and we're gonna sit at the table,

and we're gonna work it out.

And we're gonna save my family, right?

The one I made.

'Cause I didn't have one, I made one.

I made one. We have one.

We have one.

That was supposed to be enough, right?

'Cause like, if you don't have one above you,

you have one below you,

and then it goes from there.

You're right, Sila.

You're right.

Okay, so.

There's this funny thing.

God, I feel compelled.

It just, oh.

So, those are my kids.

Those are my best thing I ever did.

Really, the only thing I've done.

[Marc] That's not true.

Oh.

That's my dad.

He's not...

God, I think we're lucky he's not alive anymore.

He would f***ing kill you.

He would kill you for me.

Easy pickings.

My name's Alis, and I'm coming to your town,

and I'm gonna f*** up your family.

It's like a bad, um, right?

You might notice that our happy family is, um,

that my husband's not in any of the f***ing pictures.

You might notice that.

You might notice that.

You're, that's, really, thank you so much!

Thank you, oh my God.

Thank you.

Oh, that's what I should do.

I should just go make some friends,

and like, what?

Make some family.

Just make it!

I made a f***ing family,

and it's falling apart!

Do you understand me?

Do you understand me?

[Marc] Babe, where are the...

I made one!

I made a family!

I didn't have a family around me.

I f***ing made one!

I made one, I pushed them right out, man!

[Marc] Babe, where are the kids?

They're fine.

[Marc] Where are they?

They're fine.

Why are you crying?

You don't get to cry.

You don't get to cry.

[Marc] Just leave her alone, okay?

[Alis] If you're gonna shoot me, just shoot me.

Are you kidding me?

If you're gonna kill me, just kill me.

- Honestly, just do it.

- Just leave her alone.

[Cybil] God, Alis, don't say that.

Don't say that.

Please don't say that.

[Marc] Alis, please.

And it's back to Alis.

Wow.

Did you see how she did that?

That was amazing.

Were you taught that, or were you just born that way?

[Alis] Look, I don't want you to hurt my friends.

[Sila] Do us all a favor,

and put your gigantic f***ing Ph.D mouth shut,

I'm not kidding you.

[Alis] I'm not scared of her.

If she's gonna do it, she's gonna do it.

Please put the gun down, stop pointing it!

Shut up!

Stop pointing it.

[Sila] What, do you care about her?

What, do you care about her?

What, are you really worried about her?

Don't call me Sila.

[Marc] What do you want me to call you?

[Sila] What do you call me, hon?

[Marc] I call you babe.

Why does he love you?

What is it about her?

What is it about her, honey?

He loves your brain.

I was a teacher, but you, wow.

So tell me, if he loves your brain,

why does he f*** you?

Are you wearing panties right now?

- [Alis] F*** you.

- Leave her alone.

[Sila] Oh, God.

Are you kidding?

This is not a good mother!

- This is not a good woman!

- She is a good mother.

Leave her the f*** alone!

Oh my God.

I have seen her.

I have seen you.

I've seen you f***ing,

I've seen you shopping for furniture,

I've seen you shopping for wine.

Picking up my kids,

playing house with my f***ing children,

when you can't even take care of your own.

What kind of woman does that?

I would never let my kids go like that.

If I could do it, I...

Whatever it is that she does, I can do it.

Stop, come on, we have a daughter.

[Sila] I can do it, I can do it, I know.

I know, I know.

[Marc] The boys.

[Sila] They're fine.

[Marc] Where are they?

They're with the stupid babysitter you hired.

Babe?

They're okay?

Didn't you already ask me that,

and didn't I answer it?

Do you have any idea what it's like

to hang up from a Skype call with your husband,

run and use the bathroom real quick,

come back into the room,

and see some woman walk into his hotel room?

And just pull up her skirt,

bend over, and, no panties.

And, ha.

Right?

Why didn't you turn it off?

What made you watch?

[Marc] Alis, please.

'Cause I wanted to know.

It was like a train wreck.

You can't stop.

I didn't want to kill her.

- [Tomas] No, don't. Don't.

- [Woman] Please don't!

[Marc] Sila, Sila, put the gun down, please.

[Vineke] Kill who?

[Marc] Please, what do you want me to do?

What do you want...

I didn't want to kill her.

[Marc] Sila, Sila, what do you want to do?

Why'd she have to be a girl?

Oh, when you're a girl,

you get all the promises of the skinny weddings,

with the big cakes, and it never comes true,

and you've got to marry some man,

and depend on him for everything,

and he doesn't want what you give him.

And you give him, and you give him,

and you give him, and I gave.

And I made a family.

[Marc] What are you talking about, babe?

And I gave it to you.

[Marc] I know you did.

But what, what are you talking about?

And then, and then you have to, like,

save all your quarters,

so you can pay the doctor in cash,

so he didn't find out,

'cause he didn't want the third one,

so you know he won't want the fourth one,

and especially not if she's gonna be

a beautiful little baby girl, perfect.

[Marc] Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Don't, Sila.

Sila, please.

Please.

This is my fault.

I'm, oh God.

Where are my kids?

(Heavy breathing)

I miss them, I want them.

(Heavy breathing)

Honey.

Honey, where are my kids?

[Marc] Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

(Sila sobs)

(Muffled speech)

[Sila] Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

[Cybil] Want some water?

[Sila] I'm so sorry.
