able to get through?

You're gonna

take all of this.

Here, it's yours.

I'm not...

Man the great.

Stripopoly.

It doesn't make sense!

This took only 35 minutes.

That is a new world

record for me.

Ugh.

Thank you.

First, lattes.

Then the world.

Do you think

this is a test?

Test of what?

Like the trials of job.

Like a test of faith?

Um...

I mean, you believe

in god, right?

Yes.

And do you think that all

of this, everything that

has happened, was all

a part of god's plan?

Well, belief and faith

aren't the same thing.

I don't know what

god's plan is.

Well, that's kind

of the point.

What are we gonna do?

Mm...

Maybe everybody really did go to

the other side of the island.

Okay? Maybe the main

communication pipe failed.

Or maybe this

will all pass.

And in the meantime...

Baby, this world is

ours for the making.

Mmm.

Naptime.

You're ruining my naptime.

Oh, am I?

You go on and

take your nap.

hey.

Jenai, you gotta try this!

Jenai, where are you?

f***.

no.

Okay.

Just because this place fell

off the geothermal grid...

Doesn't mean we can't

utilize the romantic

comedy of this, you know?

This is nice.

Yeah, it is.

The wine.

Some cheese.

Okay.

We need to talk

about this.

Riley!

Why are you laughing?

You need to be more

careful, please.

This was an accident.

How am I supposed to stop

an accident from happening?

You could've

broken a bone.

Or worse, hit an artery.

And you don't think we could've

avoided that accident.

We're not gonna stop

living our lives just

because you think

something might happen.

Excuse me.

We're not gonna stop

living our lives--

okay, it is not about that.

What if something

were to happen to you?

There is no 9-1-1.

There is no one.

You're freaking

out right now.

Can you just relax

and enjoy this...

I'm fine.

It's just a scratch.

We can't just childproof

this whole city.

We can't be

jackasses either.

Out here?

Out here we're on our own.

I should be in the shower.

It's six o'clock

back home.

On wednesdays I'm just

getting back from the gym

and I take a shower.

No.

I'm not gonna goof

off anymore, okay?

I'm gonna be more

careful I promise.

From now on.

I should have brought it.

We were only supposed

to be gone five days.

What'd you forget?

My book.

To kill a mockingbird.

I just didn't think

that I would need it.

Well I'm sure that there's an

English copy of it somewhere.

No, I don't want a copy.

I want my copy.

It wasn't a journal, it

was I guess more of a log.

Everything important that

happened or you know,

little memories, I'd write

everything in there.

Why kill a mockingbird?

My dad got it for me.

This story about

racism, lynching, rape.

Great bedtime story

for an eight-year-old.

For whatever reason i-i hung

onto it, I connected with it.

You're in there.

I'm in your book?

The first time i

said I love you.

Well before I said it to

you, I wrote it in there.

when I look around,

i see a beautiful country,

I see land, Springs, houses,

and then there's you and me.

And we have

everything we need.

Everything else,

we can build.

Just you and I together.

We can't build everything.

We don't need to.

The hard work's

been done for us.

Just need to stock up

a little, that's all.

We have the world

at our feet.

I just wanna go home.

I just want my book back.

damnit.

What are you eating?

That's the blueberry one.

The blueberry ones

aren't ready yet.

Well.

Tastes ready.

The strawberry

ones expire first.

Well I wanted a

blueberry one.

We agreed to eat

them in order.

It's like three days

different, alright.

That's not the point.

What is the point?

The point is, we are not going

to have fruits and vegetables.

And then the meat goes

if the refrigeration

is still even working.

Look.

We can plant

more vegetables.

I can get more meat.

No, that's-that's good.

So what are you gonna do?

Go be Johnny hunter?

Get a shotgun and shoot

a cow in the head?

And then what?

Do you really think

you're capable of that?

Do you think I am?

Just eat the food in order.

nice uh, mark.

Taking ash Wednesday to

the next level, huh?

Can I ask you something?

This whole thing, this

disappearing act.

Was this your guy?

Because I can't

figure it out.

Maybe it was my guy.

Maybe those chosen few

are back home roasting

marshmallows or whatever.

Why does this happen

when I'm here?

Stuck in no man's land.

Maybe our guys

are the same guys.

You ever think about that?

Maybe that's why I'm

stuck in no man's land.

do you wonder where we are?

Yeah.

do you hear that?

What?

It's the heartbeat

of the world.

I love it here.

Can you see it?

they say that there were these

two trolls who tried to stop

the incoming ships

in the new world.

They grabbed

and they pulled.

But the ships were too

strong, and the sun rose

and turned the

trolls to stone.

And they left these

petrified markers as a

kind of gateway between the

ancient ways and the new world.

It's like they were

waiting for us to bring in

everything that was clean

and good and fresh.

I always liked that.

We're out of water.

I know.

It's from the 70s.

What's it doing here?

Um, just

abandoned I guess.

You see it the side.

What, they just left it?

I guess so.

It's beautiful though,

don't you think?

I don't think we're

looking at the same thing.

What do you mean?

Another forsaken object that's

outlived its usefulness.

It's just an airplane.

Exactly, it's garbage.

Don't try to tell me

that it's beautiful.

This is dead.

Can't you see

what this is?

No, go ahead. Enlighten me.

What is it?

No one's coming

back for us.

No one.

I thought you'd like this.

This isn't some

sort of game.

God damnit, I know

it's not a game.

Well you can't just change the

scenery and expect me to smile!

What am I supposed to do?

Open your eyes, Riley.

sh*t! No, no, no!

jenai?

hey.

Just wanted to talk

for a little a bit.

I was being a jerk and i

ran off the some show so I

get to sit here

and be angry.

I guess you can't pick up.

I know it's however

many hours later there.

Okay.

I miss you.

What are we...

What are we doing?

Nothing, go back to sleep.

Hi.

Just so were clear.

Your boyfriend took

me to Europe.

My boyfriend is hungover.

So keep having

fun out there.

For the both of us.

Love you.

Hey, I must have

just missed you.

Well I wanted to tell you

that I just bought the

tickets so

Iceland is a go.

And uh, I'll see

you at dinner.

I love you.

you keep taking pictures.

You still don't have a

place to develop them.

I will.

What?

We're sitting

on a glacier.

This is the equalizer.

Force of nature that

wipes the earth clean.

What's so funny about that?

Maybe god got impatient.

I can't tell you what's

happening tonight.

I've been trying to figure

it out and I don't...

I'm not giving up on you.

I'm not giving up on us.

I know.

Do you hear that?

What?

I don't know.

Might be kinda fun to
