What exactly is it

that you're doing here?

Yeah, it's a complicated

situation.

At your age, I couldn't

have understood it either.

Try me.

Well, sometimes

you need a bit of space

from the things you love

in order for you to realize

just how much you

really need them.

Seriously?

That sort of thing just does

not apply to your wife and kids.

What do you want

from me, man?

I mean, you're gonna hate

me regardless of what I say.

But if Alice and I are gonna try

and work through our problems,

which I think it's pretty

clear we are,

then this game of house

you're all playing

is gonna have to end.

And you think that's

what Alice wants?

Alice doesn't know

what she wants.

(GRUNTS)

Ow!

AUSTEN:
What the hell

was that for?

It was for Alice!

You know, you do not

want to do this.

I am a trained athlete.

I can box.

Okay, all right,

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

You wanna go for it, pal?

You wanna go?

Yeah, I...

Come on, let's go!

Go! Let's go!

Okay, okay. Hey, hey.

Did your stupid hipster

brother sleep with my wife, huh?

Come on, man up

and tell me. Tell me!

You know what? We're

better off without you!

We?

Yeah.

What are you even

saying? (GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Oh, my God!

TEDDY:
Ahh!

What is going on?

He... He started it!

Teddy, what the hell?

Okay, hold on.

Okay, let's all just

chill out for a second.

He's a liability, okay?

There are kids in this house!

Come on, Alice,

this is insane.

ALICE:
This is too

much for me.

I didn't sign up

for this, all of this.

I agree. I think

he needs to leave.

I think you guys need to

find somewhere else to stay

while we get our lives

back on track.

Wait.

Alice.

I'm sorry, guys.

(EXHALES)

(GRUNTS)

You did

the right thing, Al.

He did quite a number on you.

Ta-da.

Alice, look at me

for a second.

(SIGHS)

Oh, God, I've missed

you so much.

I had no idea

how to be alone.

Austen, what are we doing?

Well, our relationship is

totally blurry, you know that.

I know it is.

And once and for all, I

think we need to clear it up.

I think we should get back

to... I want a divorce.

I'm... I'm not following.

I want a divorce.

Like, I legally don't

wanna be married anymore.

No, I know what

divorce means.

I thought we weren't

ready to make such a...

You're ready.

I am. I really am.

Right, right.

Oh, God. So,

I'm the idiot

who's dealt a winning hand

and still managed to lose.

I think maybe

this all worked out

the way it was

supposed to.

And I guess we both know that

if I'd seen a sliver of hope

I would have tried

to weasel my way back in.

(BOTH LAUGH)

I really hope he's here.

He has to be.

Justin is the only other

person he knows in LA.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

My hand's killing me.

Can we come in?

We wanna talk.

Are you gonna be mean?

I'm not in the mood.

What happened to your face?

I beat the crap out of Austen.

Bullshit artist.

Come in.

Did Alice see you do it?

Yep. And she kinda

kicked us out.

Seriously?

Yeah.

And what about Austen,

he stayed?

Yeah.

You guys hungry?

There's some leftover Nobu.

Harry, we came

here to apologize.

Neither of us should have

hidden anything from you.

Is that a no to the Nobu?

I'll have some.

What's Nobu?

It's just sushi.

Okay, we were just afraid

that you were gonna think

that we were doubting you,

or losing faith in the movie.

That's exactly what I think.

We're not bailing, man.

My other job

is basically done.

And if Teddy

lands another part,

then we will

work around it.

He's right. We're doin' this, all right?

We're makin'

this happen.

The Nobu.

(LAUGHS)

There you are.

Is Dad okay?

ALICE:
Yeah.

Daddy is fine,

he just has a little bruise.

And he's asleep now,

so he's gonna be okay.

I'm really sorry that

you guys had to see that.

Is he moving in with us?

Well, he's gonna live

in LA, which is great.

But he's not

gonna live with us.

What about the guys?

Did they leave?

ALICE:
Mmm-hmm.

For good?

I think so.

Does that mean we won't

ever see them again?

I mean, George was

gonna come to my play.

And... Yeah, yeah, I know George, honey.

And trust me,

he will be there.

And I don't know

about you guys,

but I'm kinda looking

forward to it

just being the three

of us again.

Actually, I think

that sounds good.

I could use some

peace and quiet.

(ALL GIGGLING)

Okay.

I love you.

Yeah, so we meet this guy.

HARRY:
He's like

this hacker, right?

And his name's Neo.

And he's like,

the thing, yeah.

That's good.

He gets,

basically gets this...

Right, right.

But where did this

Morpheus guy come in?

'Cause I...

Morpheus comes in.

TEDDY:
He's sending

him like... Right, yes.

TEDDY:
He's sending him

like some sort of, you know,

watch out, because

he's looking out

for like the agents

or whatever.

GEORGE:
Right,

and there's the...

Thank you, appreciate it.

HARRY:
And, yeah,

the real world...

GEORGE:
Right,

because the real world...

"So, what began as a day

like any other

"ended as anything but.

The end."

Wonderful.

I love this part.

It's so great.

Yeah, so did I.

Hey.

So scene 50 is up.

Here's some sides for you.

We got a chair over here,

and we'll do last

looks on the day.

Cool, thank you.

"Some interesting

things to say, George.

"He had some interesting

things to say."

"Interesting things to say."

Hi.

(ALL LAUGHING)

I don't know. I don't know,

it's weird, right?

Like should I be concerned?

It's a little weird.

No, I think it's...

I mean, it's cute.

She's like, you know,

she like...

She like thinks she's a spy.

Yeah, yeah.

Like she goes on adventures.

Yeah.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Hi.

Hi.

Um...

Come in.

Is it okay?

Yeah, are you kidding me?

Come on.

I didn't call, but...

No, it's good.

We're still in the

moving in phase.

But, yeah.

Yeah, wow.

This place is great.

Uh-huh. Oh, man.

Yeah. Are the guys here?

No. They just

went out for a bit.

They'll be back

any minute.

Look, this should be me

showing up at your door.

But, I don't know,

with Austen there, I just...

He's gone.

He went back

to New York?

No, he's here in LA,

just not with me.

We are officially

done, so...

Wow.

Wow. Well,

A- plus decision.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um...

Uh...

Okay.

Alice, like, I should've...

I should've said this before

in a realer way at least.

But I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for standing

you up that night.

And, uh, I think...

Like, I've relived it like

a thousand times in my head.

And I just... I can't

wrap my mind around

what kind of a person

would do that to you,

let alone it was me.

It was one of the top five

worst decisions

I have ever made.

And I have made some,

some pretty questionable

decisions in my time.

Look, bottom line, you deserve

much, much better than me.

And I don't mean that like,

like most guys mean it,

which is that they don't

mean it at all. I actually do.

I... I really do.

You know, before I met you

I was probably more

alone and terrified

than I'd ever been
