Cyrus Page #3

I just want to say I appreciate

how open you were.

I love that about you,

and I'm sorry that I wasn't

as open about my boy.

No, that's fine.

It's your--

Yeah, I know.

your prerogative not to say that stuff.

It's private, we just met,

and I was fine with it. I mean--

He's a great kid too.

He is.

I'm glad you appreciate that.

I was going to leave,

and he was, like,

"No, come in, come in."

I'm happy to hear that.

I didn't--

I'm happy to hear that.

And that's the thing.

He's so--

He's very mature,

as you can see, in a lot of ways,

and he really pushes me.

But in other ways he's just--

he's not come into himself yet.

And-And it's coming,

and it's coming from a very deep place.

This could be a--

This is a very sudden--

You are very sudden.

And I haven't had a man over--

to stay overnight--

since Cyrus, uh, was born.

So it's a new thing.

Well-- But to tell you the truth,

you didn't have me over.

I-- I stalked you over--

Yeah, you gave it a little--

I get seized sometimes,

so it's okay you're here.

Molly, everything is a gift,

at this point, to me.

Just getting to hang out.

Like every moment,

from moment to moment.

Thanks for talking to me

about my--

I just feel a little--

No, I know.

N-N-N--

No, we leave the door open.

Oh. I was just going to

take my pants off.

We just-- We-- We just

always leave the door open.

Um, okay.

Hey.

Good morning.

You guys are early risers, huh?

Yep. How'd you sleep?

Good.

Good. How'd you sleep?

Very well.

Good.

Nice.

So what's-- What's, uh--

What's going on?

What's the plan?

What are you guys doing?

Um, we go to Elysian Park every

morning and eat a little breakfast...

and take some photos

for a few hours.

Yeah. Cyrus composes

to images of nature.

Sounds cool.

I am supposed to work.

Should I blow it off?

I'll just get it over with.

I'll get in there. Get it done.

Then I have less to do next week, so--

Anyway, all right.

Here you go, Mom.

Did you guys see my shoes?

- No.

- They were right here.

Weird.

Okay.

Yeah. I can't believe

how deep into it I am already.

That's amazing.

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

I really am.

It's amazing.

Is it that obvious?

Am I-- Am I glowing?

You actually are.

You look good.

Just, you know, slow down.

Let's just be here now.

Don't worry, I'm not--

I know. I just don't want you,

you know, to obsess on this.

I was a little needy out of the gate.

Yes.

I'll admit that.

But it's settling in nicely now.

And other than one little

weird blip this morning,

I am not concerned

about anything.

What? What is it?

Um, when I woke up this morning,

my shoes were missing from their house.

Your white Adidas?

Yeah.

Your favorite shoes.

Oh, my God.

Well, then somebody

did you a favor.

Whatever.

It-It'll be fine.

- John?

- I definitely left my shoes in their living room.

You know what I mean?

I wore shoes into the house. Shoes-- John?

Can we not have this conversation

at 1:
30 in the morning?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I had no idea what time it was.

But the more I think

about the shoes,

now it's like every look the kid

gave me seems really weird.

- Like he was being friendly but--

- Yeah.

Will you please do me a favor

and meet them...

and tell me whether I'm the one

who's paranoid and crazy?

Sure.

Good night, John.

Fine. I will, okay?

It's got to be totally casual

and like it was an accident.

No.

Higher so that it takes longer and I can catch it.

Okay.

Yes.

Mmm. I love the ripples.

This looks incredible.

There they are. There they are.

Come on. Come on.

It ripples out almost across the whole thing.

Molly?

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh, Cyrus.

How's it going? John.

How you doing?

Hi.

I'm Cyrus.

So nice to meet you.

I was just saying,

"I wonder if they're hanging out in the park."

- I'm Molly. We've met.

- This is Jamie.

- We go jogging here all the time.

- You do?

Yeah. That's so weird,

because we're here literally every day.

Yeah, you said that,

but I didn't make the--

I guess, I don't know.

I guess the jogging track--

We took a little bit of a side diversion this time.

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Your hair-- The light is hitting

your hair in this great way.

It's like a crippled tree

reaching for heaven.

John, would you do me

a huge favor?

Yeah, what?

Would you mind

getting into the tree?

Try one where you get in

the tree just like a jaguar.

Like a jaguar?

Yeah, just climb up the tree like a jaguar.

Oh, that's great.

That's great.

You're a natural.

Now do one where you just

scream as loud as you can.

No, that's not screaming.

That's moaning.

You're bossy, Cyrus.

You look incredible right now.

I'm really trying to get the most of this.

All right.

Now scream as loud as you can.

What did you think?

Did you like them?

Yes! I think

they're really sweet...

and, uh, kind--

And the wrestling wasn't weird?

And quirky.

No, that was weird. But, you know,

in a good way. I don't know.

I don't think it was,

like, "strange" weird.

I mean, it wasn't "bad" weird.

You know?

They're really cool.

I like them.

They're cool, right?

They're fun.

They're fun.

They're great.

And I don't think

they stole your shoes.

Thank you for coming out here.

I appreciate it.

Don't worry. All right,

I'll see you at the office in a second.

Relax, okay?

All right. Okay.

Okay.

You're the best, Jamie.

Okay. That one.

That one's great.

No, let's skip that one.

Oh, that's perfect.

That's the perfect one.

Hello?

Hi.

No, no, no. I don't need anything.

Thanks. I'll see you in a minute.

Okay.

Who's that?

John.

He's gonna come by.

Cool.

Yeah.

I was-- I-- I was going to tell you and then--

- I don't know. We never talked about it.

- Okay.

Anyway,

he's coming over.

That was a lot.

You could have just said "John's coming over."

I know.

I guess I could have.

- I feel weird.

- You don't have to explain yourself.

I think it's nice that

John's coming to see you.

I think it's lovely,

but I still feel--

I feel really--

I feel really weird.

You feel weird?

Mm-hmm.

Why do you feel weird?

Are you okay with all of this?

Yes.

If I was 10, maybe I'd feel weird,

but I am a grown-up,

and you deserve somebody

who can love you--

in a way that I can't love you,

and-- Okay. Okay.

I think it's great.

Okay.

I'm the weirdo.

Hey. How you doing?

Hey, Cyrus.

Hey, John.

Hi.

Hi.

Welcome.

Well, well, well.

You've closed the door.

Ohh!

What? What's going on?

No, no, no! It's okay. Stay!

Stay in here. Stay here!

Is everything okay?

Oh.

Hi, John.

Oh, hey.

I was just looking

for your mom.

I think she's asleep.

Oh, okay.

Come here.

Come here.

You hungry?

I heard you scream,

and your mom didn't tell me

what was going on so--

Night terrors.

I used to get them a lot

when I was younger,

and I just recently

started getting them again.

I'm sorry.

I'll get through it.

Sounds terrible.

Um, I'm glad you're up,

because I've been wanting
