Between Us Page #4
What is what?
Look, every time an adult uses that
phrase, it's as if they've been neutered.
Church is where things
turned around for me.
I can't believe what you're...
Look. My friends don't have
religious conversions.
- Who said religious conversion? It's just
a turning point. - It's the same thing!
- And now you're telling me your child is
baptized? - Well, isn't yours?
No.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay, fine?
What?
Don't look at me like that.
I could care less.
Right.
- I'm not judging you.
- "Isn't yours?"
Wow. Carlo.
Cut me some slack!
[SHARYL]
Joel!
[EXHALES]
Joel?
God, I am hot.
- Jesus, it's getting so warm.
- I'm fine.
I'm cold.
[GRUNTS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
[GRUNTS]
Beautiful pool.
How are things at, uh...
at the agency?
Abysmal.
What are you working on?
Oh, sh*t, come on.
[CHUCKLES] You don't wanna know.
What? Tell me.
Give me a break. Give me a break!
Tell me what you're working on.
Okay, fine. Last month,
trying to get honey to drip just
right off of this, uh, granola bar.
Granola bar?
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Okay, well...
[CLEARS THROAT]
Obviously you're-you're
exceptional at what you do,
so, you know, I think you
should be proud of that.
For real.
Yeah.
Good wine.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Sharyl!
He likes it!
What?
Sharyl!
He likes the wine!
Sharyl.
Sharyl.
He likes it. He...
Is that funny to you?
- Is it funny?
- [LAUGHS]
[LOCKS DOOR]
We had a little discussion
about that earlier today.
Joel, enough. And you see,
Sharyl, in her good mood...
of the cellar this morning.
[GRACE] You have a cellar?
Oh, God, yeah.
[CHUCKLES] Sharyl didn't show you?
Joel.
Come on. Field trip.
Yeah. Oh!
Sharyl loves it.
It's her favorite room
in the house.
You know,
it's dark, damp, dirty.
You really are gonna spoil dinner,
aren't you, Joel? God, she loves the cellar.
She loves the cedar shelves. She
loves the goblets. She loves...
Sharyl loves her decan...
I personally hate the decanter.
- But Sharyl insists on her prized
Internet auction... - Joel. Joel.
[MOCKING] Sharyl, Sharyl,
Sharyl... decanter.
Which I find ridiculous
and pretentious, by the way,
because if you know anything about wine, you
know you only decant something that needs air.
But not Sharyl. She decants...
[SINGSONGY] all of them!
So I was curious what we were gonna
drink tonight, and so I asked her.
I said, "Where'd you grab it from?" Because
I actually know a thing or two about wines.
I have them organized
in the cellar.
[GRUNTS]
Pinot, Carmnre, Malbec,
Riesling, Shiraz.
- Sharyl's white zins in a shitty box...
- Joel.
In the corner
beneath everything.
So I asked her. I said, "Sharyl,
where did you grab it from?"
And, uh,
she said to me,
in that lovely way that
she's known for, she said...
[IMITATING SHARYL]
"How the hell do I know, Joel?
I just grabbed one."
And so I pressed further. I said, "Sharyl,
come on. I mean, you're not stupid.
Just visualize the corner
you grabbed it from."
And she said to me...
I swear to God,
she said to me,
[SHOUTING]
"Hell's corner!"
[JOEL LAUGHING]
Exactly!
So, I mean... [CHUCKLES]
we could be drinking...
of Ruffino, or...
or cooking wine.
[MUTTERS]
Well, you've decorated it beautifully.
Thank you.
You think? Yeah, copper pots in the
kitchen, digital baby grand piano.
Oh, hey, let me show you something.
Look at this.
It's a, uh... It's a limited edition
series monoprint by Roberson.
It's all kind of revolting,
if you ask me.
So much space. I'm really happy
the way it's turning out.
If you're not used to so much space, it
can make you anxious. Can we tell 'em?
Can we please tell 'em?
Look at that plant.
There's all this free space
around it, you know?
The sight of it nags me.
You know?
Sometimes I'll even take
something, and I'll move it,
just to fill up that space.
[SCRAPING SOUND]
Whoa.
moved it from is now empty.
So I put it back.
Well, you have
[SHARYL]
Thank-Thank you.
It feels very...
opulent.
[SIGHS SOFTLY]
Really sorry to have you
both sleep in the living room.
It's just that, uh, we're... we're remodeling
the guest room on the second floor.
[WHISPERS]
I'm sorry.
[SIGHS]
I'll be right back.
So, hey, what else you got going
on out here, huh? Any shows?
Freelance?
Using that talent?
I'll go
and check on the baby.
[BABY CRYING UPSTAIRS]
Let's go do something fun.
Just me and you.
Okay.
Okay.
[SHARYL]
Oh. Shh.
Shh.
[BABY FUSSES]
[SIGHS, WHISPERS]
Here we go.
Ah. Shh.
He's beautiful.
Thank you.
You ever miss New York?
No.
[WHISPERS] No. [CAR DOORS
CLOSING, ENGINE STARTS]
[SHARYL WHISPERS]
Oh, they're leaving.
[SHARYL SIGHS]
- Maybe I should drive. Want me to drive?
- Nah, it's all right. F*** you.
This is a real car. It's not
Sharyl's f***in' mommy-mobile.
- [GRACE] Are you guys okay?
- How do you mean?
It's none of my business.
You're right. It's not.
But Joel obviously
wants to make it yours.
I'm sorry I asked. Oh, it's fine.
It is what it is.
[CARLO] Whoa, whoa, relax.
Relax.
You're originally from
the Midwest, right, Carlo?
Uh, well, I warned you...
I warned you. No paradise.
Oh, the cold.
Good God.
[CARLO] Yeah, the cold is uninhabitable.
And the people!
- [CARLO] The people are nice, huh?
- [CHUCKLES]
Do you like it out here?
I do, Grace.
I do.
Sure, it's been a change. But my
life has changed. My life is here.
[CARLO] Whoa.
Easy there, big guy.
Did you ever notice that when you ask
people from these uninhabitable places...
what makes this part
of the country so special,
they always say
it's the people, right?
"The people are good. The people are nice.
The people are friendly."
- Slow down. Slow down.
- You know why they say this?
- Because there's nothing else here.
- The roads are big.
The sky is big. The houses, as
you can see, are very, very big.
Joel. Whenever there's a
lack of anything decent,
you can always rely on
the good people. Joel!
- Ice cold winters.
- No grime.
- Gray skies. - You don't have to wash
when you walk in the front door.
- Mosquito summers.
- There's no sirens at night.
Joel, stop the f***ing car!
The people are good.
- Traffic.
The sound of your neighbors
f***ing against the wall.
That touchdown last week
was so f***ing good!
- Joel!
- [TIRES SCREECHING]
[WHISPERS]
It's quiet.
[JOEL SIGHS]
[EXHALES] Dresden
after World War II...
had more to do than
this f***ing wasteland.
There's nothing.
There is nothing to do.
But... we have
our painted faces...
and we have
our sports teams.
And we have our sausages.
And we have our people.
- Let's just go home, all right, Joel?
- F*** that!
Come on! Let's get some sh*t
beer, and let's get f***ed up.
[PATTING SHOULDER]
[TIRES SQUEALING]
[PHONE RINGS]
Where are you guys?
