Kathy and Faye, they're doing

a road trip for Europe.

Road trip in Europe? Wow.

We should go with them.

Maybe.

Maybe?

Yeah, we still got, you know...

It's in the future.

We'll figure it out later.

-Okay.

-Yeah. Okay.

You've never, like...

been with Kathy, or...

or Faye before, have you?

-Been with them? Yeah?

-Like?

-Like?

-Physically.

Like, have you had sex

with them before?

-No.

-No?

No.

Why?

I don't know.

I was just thinking, like...

maybe they...

could come for like the...

the end, you know?

Like the last two hours,

or something like...

I've never done an orgy.

That would be fun.

Do you wanna do an orgy now?

I don't know.

I think it could be intr--

I don't know.

I think it'd just be like

a nice book end.

It could be really fun.

I'll be right out.

I don't wanna do an orgy.

Okay.

Okay. Let me pee.

Okay. I mean,

let's talk about it.

Yeah, let me just pee.

-Yeah?

-Are you okay?

-Yeah.

-Sure?

Yes.

-Okay.

-Yeah, yeah.

Sergio?

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine, Sergio.

But I'd rather not be

in the bathroom.

Can you let go

of the handle, please?

Why do you want

to do an orgy?

It was just an idea!

I mean, we were trying...

I don't know.

I don't think that seems

like the weirdest thing.

You know,

it's just something new

that we could do together.

I thought you would be into it.

I thought it would

bring us closer.

But that's it.

I just want us

to be closer, Sergio.

That's all.

Sergio?

Sergio!

It's okay.

It's okay.

[Kathy] How are you?

You seem good.

Yeah.

It's really... You know,

we have little naps,

but it's been pretty.

-Yeah, well...

-Yeah.

Have you guys done something

like this before, or...

-It's been a while.

-Yeah.

I've, like, failed

at it a few times.

Seems like a good time.

I know it's midday, but...

I prefer that.

-Yeah.

It's so cliche

of, like, the night.

I like to see everything.

Yeah.

So... are we on a timer?

We can start.

We could just do...

-the old hello.

-Mmm.

-I love you.

-I love you.

Mmm. Hi.

Is it weird?

Um...

Hello.

Hey, are you okay?

Hey, yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah. I...

Sorry about that.

-No problem.

-It's okay.

Come.

Yeah, I just...

got distracted.

-Which happens.

-Yeah.

I mean, I think it's...

-No, it wasn't.

It had nothing to do

with you guys. I just...

I'm really glad

you guys are here.

Yeah.

-Because I think that...

Because you guys

are close to Sergio,

just, like, this has been

a lot for us.

And I think that

if you guys stayed,

we could talk, like...

We don't...

You know, what are we

really gonna offer?

Right? I mean,

I just feel like...

-I think just support.

-It would make sense

for us to maybe...

I think support, though,

and I think Sergio

maybe wants you here.

I think we should all

talk about this together.

-What do you think?

-Yeah. Do you want us to stay?

-Um... no, no.

-Yeah.

I feel like maybe

you guys should,

um, just talk.

-It's totally fine.

-Yeah.

-We will talk later.

-I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

-It's fine.

-Thank you.

-I'm so sorry.

-No.

-Don't worry about it.

-Okay.

Will you call me later?

Yeah. Sure.

Okay.

I have to go to the bathroom.

So do I.

-Say hi to my sh*t

right now.

-What?

Oh, my God!

Is that your own sh*t?

It's my own sh*t

in your f***ing face.

-How's that? How's that?

-Stop it! You're f***ing crazy!

Stop it!

-Be honest!

-No!

What are you--

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

No! Stop it.

What the f***? Don't...

-Okay, be honest.

-What do you want me to say?

To say what you're thinking.

I don't want to do this.

I don't want to do any of this.

You scare me, Sergio.

Thank you.

Thank you for being honest

for one f***ing minute

in 24 hours.

Thank you!

You're so f***ed up.

I have to take a sh*t

and put it in

your f***ing face

for you to say the things

as they are.

I've been 24 hours

trying you to be honest.

Being with you.

Being real next to you.

Why are you trying so hard?

I don't want you to.

Because I f***ing love you.

How do you know?

-Yes--

-No, you don't.

Because it's f***ing here!

Because it hurts!

Because it hurts so much.

That's why I know.

It's f***ing real, okay.

-Stop.

-Okay? Stop, just--

Stop!

You have to stop.

I don't wanna do it.

I don't want to do it anymore.

Any of it.

The coastline sight

just blamed the majority

of the increase

on rising sea levels

caused by global warming.,

and they say the flooding

will only get worse.

But predicting where

those beach or floods will hit

has only just begun.

Our own Chris Donnelly reports.

Almost 50 times a year,

Casco Bay floods the port city

of Portland, Maine where--

Hi.

I'm gonna now sing this song

uh... yeah.

I didn't write it,

but neither did Elvis.

Suppose the springtime

Should not arrive

Suppose the tall

Green trees

Should not survive

Suppose I had no wish

To be alive

Suppose you didn't

Love me

Hey.

You got a home, bud?

Your name is not Maxine, is it?

Love you.

Good night, good night.

Ah! Sweet mystery of life

At last, I've found you

At last I know

The secret of it all

For the longing, seeking

Striving, waiting, yearning

The burning hopes

The joy and idle tears

That fall

For it's love and love alone

The world is seeking

And it's love and love alone

That can repay

It's the answer

It's the end

And all of living

For it is love alone

That rules the day

Sweet mystery of life

Sweet mystery

Sweet mystery of life
