I'm so sorry.

Hey hey hey hey hey hey.

would want a chance

to change out of my shorts

and that this would be fun.

Yeah.

That's, sure, right.

- You are acting

like a crazy person.

Well aren't you just perfect?

- Millie, I just

Okay, I really do, and

I'm kind of at a loss.

so what do want from me, what?

I just, stop, stop!

I want you to leave me alone.

Okay, I can do that.

I'm gonna buy some clothes

so I can keep some semblance

of being a human being.

Fantastic.

- Awesome, do you wanna

go get some groceries?

I can do that.

- Great, I know you can.

- Great, awesome.

that dress as well?

You should.

Thank you, yes.

Hi, welcome.

(light music)

You find everything?

Uh, yeah.

I heard this is a good time.

Yeah, it's great.

Hmm.

Didn't know we sold these.

Milk.

That's a weird word if

you say it enough times.

Milk.

Boy I never seen them

all connected like that,

that's weird.

(buzzes)

Hey Jeff, can we get a price

check on these tomatoes?

There's five of them.

- You know, I don't

want the tomatoes.

- You sure?

- Mm hmm.

- They're in season,

these are good too.

That's cool but I'm good.

Actually, could you

move a little faster?

I'm sorry, I'm just in a hurry.

And you're really

taking your time.

(clears throat)

Hey.

My sister's just feeling a

little bit overheated, you know.

She doesn't understand the

stress that a cashier is under.

Why don't you go get

yourself a little gumball?

There's so many, they're so

pretty, so many varieties.

Come on.

Yes the amount of pressure

that cashiers face every day,

all day, unrecognized.

I'm a sales associate.

Sales, right, of course.

I'm so sorry, sales associate.

Yes.

What was your name?

I'm Ford.

Like the car.

Oh that is a cool name.

Well I'm Emma and that's...

(rattling)

That's Mildred.

Having a bit of a day.

Oh there it is.

I watch a lot of

food TV you know,

like cooking challenge

shows, recipe shows,

chef personality shows.

My friend Remy once

told me about a show

where they made chefs

fight at the end.

I was like Remy

that can't be real,

he's like it is.

I'm like alright, 'cause

I'll believe anything,

but I wouldn't doubt it.

- Cool.

- Yeah.

That's really cool.

- Anyway I also got a

crazy memory for recipes.

I just retain 'em and

I can just spout off

like 100 recipes right off the

top of my head, it's weird.

- Well I would

love to hear that.

- Yeah there's this

one pasta pesto dish

I been dying to make.

I can give you the

recipe if you want it.

Would you?

Thank you so much.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You wanna pass me that bag

and I'll start bagging?

Oh thanks Mills.

- Yeah just you know do

something to get us outta here.

- I'll write this up

for you right now, miss.

Pesto.

- I don't even know

what is in pesto.

- So you just get it

premade, you just...

- Yeah they have

like jars of it.

So pesto, pasta.

Big water.

- Five salts.

- Yep.

So is that?

You know what, yeah,

that sounds good.

(text notifications dinging)

- What the hell?

- Oh my god!

Sue me for having like one

person to send a text to.

Albert is not turning on.

Well did you stall him?

Would you like to try?

I would love to actually.

(engine sputtering)

What can I say?

He has bad days.

He's been doing

really good so far.

We've gotten this

far, haven't we?

I cannot believe you.

- How can this

possibly be my fault?

I have a shitty car, sue me.

- You know you always manage

to make every day worse.

- Yeah well you've been

a real beam of sunshine.

I cannot believe you.

Me?

Really?

Aren't you supposed to

be the responsible one?

No I mean like isn't that

what you tell yourself?

You're the one driving

now, aren't you?

- I have always taken care

of you and you know that.

You've taken care of me.

Really?

- Yeah.

- No really, you think that

that's what's been happening?

Yes!

- You know what I take it

back, I don't like you.

Good, I don't like you either.

Great.

So there is a reason that

this hasn't been happening.

- Absolutely.

- Awesome.

(train whistle blowing)

You like it, don't you?

The way men just fall

over themselves for you.

- Oh come on!

- No you need to understand

something Emma, the

way that you come off.

Yeah, how do I come off?

Slutty.

Really?

Really you're gonna

slut shame me now?

Well you know what Millie?

I think that you could use a

little slutty in your life.

Yeah no then maybe you

wouldn't be so afraid about

having sex you unlovable,

self-absorbed b*tch!

(gasps)

(tense music)

(engine starting)

Come on, it's too hot.

Did any mail come for me?

Oh so are we talking now?

Is that what we're doing?

Come on.

No.

Why?

- I'm waiting on

that letter from DC.

We just got here Millie.

That's not really

how mail works.

Why don't you just

wait til tomorrow

and check it when we get home?

What do you mean?

Aren't we leaving?

I can't.

No that's way too much for me.

Mom.

Dad's face.

I don't want a sad mix tape.

I just need some privacy.

Okay well that I can do.

Emma.

(pensive music)

(laughing)

Emma, let's go downstairs.

There's no TV downstairs.

You planned this, didn't you?

[Millie] Yep.

Yes.

(thunder rumbling)

How does Grandma have

a Darlingside album?

I have no idea.

She's got style though,

gotta give her that.

("Blow the House

Down" by Darlingside)

People have places

And the places have

the people's dreams

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

Oh puff, puff and

blow the house down

And down and down and

down and blow the house down

Blow the house down and

down and blow the house down

Emma Haven.

You really are something.

There's a song for the robbers

On the other

side of windowpanes

A song for the cowboys

Held up in

hundred-mile-an-hour trains

And there's one for the

lovers, and one for the sinners

That they sing in the pews

Short of distinctions

I'd say we've all grown

tired of singing blues
