- Yeah.

- He's so intense.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

- I'll send it to you.

What's your number?

- Please do.

Are you cool?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

I'm great, how are you?

I'm good, I'm good.

I mean, I just

wanna make sure

that--

that you're good

with all of-- with all of

how everything is going.

Yeah, yeah, no.

This is, um, lining up

to be a fun one.

It was just, like,

scurrying all around

the floor,

and we had, like,

an English muffin

we didn't want to--

Eric:

You know, turtles are,

like, an aphrodisiac.

You wanted

to eat the turtle?

Woman:
In retrospect,

you could've just

picked it up

by the little shell

on the sides

and been

completely okay.

Eric:

My buddy

will pick you up...

...backlogs of nonsense

that go back two years.

Right, but why

is this the time

to be bringing any...

But wh-- but it just--

it's not even relevant

to what we're

talking about anymore.

It's not a part of what

I'm trying to discuss,

and to say that

it's something

that I've been

willingly or intentionally

neglecting is insane.

I'm happy

you guys are here.

- Are you kidding? Yes.

- I think we're being followed.

No. I'm sorry.

- I'm looking...

- What is happening?

Who are you?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm looking

for my phone.

- Okay.

- Oh, okay.

Did you guys see

a phone?

- Um, did it have a case?

- Woman:
No.

- Ugh.

- Caseless.

I haven't seen it.

I'm sorry,

this is Josh.

- Oh, hi, Josh.

- Oh, yeah, I'm Josh.

- I'm Jodi. Hi.

- Hey, Jodi.

- I'm Ari.

- Hi, Ari.

- How's it going?

- Oh, do you want me

to hold that for you?

Yes, please.

Yes, please.

- Can I hold it in my lungs?

- Yes, please.

Um, you are cold.

- You need a...

- How can you tell?

Maybe, um...

- I'm gonna give you

my sweater.

- Oh, well, thank you.

- You're such a gentleman.

- Oh, here.

- Have two.

- Thank you.

No, I don't need it.

- No, have two.

- Don't please.

Look what's happening.

Double the warmth.

Double gentleman attack!

- What?

- I'm sorry.

Are you guys

murderers or what?

No, not at all.

We are not murderers.

- Yeah.

- What are you doing

here in Ojai?

Yeah, what brings you here?

Are you local?

I'm here for, like, a big

birthday vacation weekend.

- I'm turning 30.

- Both:
Wow, awesome!

- You're with friends?

- Yeah.

- Okay, cool.

- They're not cool right now.

They're real--

they're real shitty.

Well, we're having

sort of a weird--

not weird,

but, like, a party thing.

Nothing like

a weird party thing.

I think all party things

are kind of weird.

- Hello.

- Jodi:
Well, hello.

- Hey, this is--

- hi.

Did someone say

"weird party thing"?

Hello,

my name is Adam.

My name is Jodi.

We are all robots.

Well, I'm single now,

so, you know, um...

- What the f***

are you doing?

- Adam, really?

- What?

- Are you okay?

Well, I got a couple bars,

so I made a phone call.

Uh, I'm sorry to drag you

into my business.

Jodi:

No, I actually

am into it.

Yeah, 10 years of my life

just went down the shitter.

- We talked about this.

- No, man.

- We talked about that.

- Yeah, but everything's

changed now.

It's all different.

It sucks now.

- Everything's worse.

- So you and Marissa, no?

Yeah, no, no go.

You know, 10 years

right in the shitter.

It's fine, but, hey,

on the other hand,

Eric has found

some casino near here

that he says

is the best in the area.

- Ari:
Well, that sounds fun.

I would go to a casino.

- There's a casino here?

Didn't expect you guys

to actually be

so excited about that.

You look so cold

and stupid, both of you.

Do they look

like murderers, though?

- Yeah.

- Here, I don't need this.

Thank you very much.

I don't need both, yeah.

Total enthusiasm

for Eric's casino idea?

No one just kind of thought

we were gonna go home

after this

and, you know,

have bedtime and...

- Have bedtime?

- Hey, Adam, is this...

Well, what do you call it

when it's time to go to bed?

- The time I go to bed.

- Are you okay?

Yeah, I mean, you know,

of course not, but...

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

I didn't mean

to come out here

and just blurt, I mean...

- No, no, that's big.

That's huge.

- I just got off the phone.

And looked over and I saw

Eric

and what's-his-name

and you guys over here,

and I just kind of

felt like I had to

say something to somebody,

but i

shouldn't have. I...

Well, look, if you need

to talk about it, you can.

- No, I'm good, thank you.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- I could go like that.

That does feel warmer,

but I'm actually...

And your arms

are weirdly heavy.

I'm a big, thick

kind of oxey Jew.

You kind of are.

You look like

someone's cousin

or, like, a boy from camp

who was, like, my crush.

Oh, what camp

did you go to?

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, 'cause I went to camp

back east, so I...

- Me, too.

- Where?

- Blue star.

- Shut up.

I went to blue star.

- You shut up now.

- No, you shut up now.

- Prove it.

- Blue star

where the Jews are.

Yeah.

- Both:
Hey!

- Oh, damn it!

Oh, snaps.

Guys, we're gonna

go to the casino.

Do you wanna come?

- Me?

- Yeah, you should come.

- Adam:
Yeah, we need

a lady luck.

- The more the merrier.

I'll be

your lady luck.

But I really wanna

find my phone.

And I'm actually

kind of feeling like

i left it in my house.

Like, I did not even

bring it here

to begin with

'cause I'm chill

and I wanna unplug.

Yeah, of course.

Get out of the matrix.

Do you think you

would walk me down

just to see

if it's there?

I don't actually

wanna get murdered.

Uh, yeah, well,

i would love to,

but joshy's actually,

um, like, used to

come up here as a kid.

- He's knows the area

pretty well.

- We'll go to the casino.

You come

meet us later, right?

- You, too.

- No, I will gladly

walk you home.

Jodi:

Did you ever hear about

when there was

a pyramid of tampons

that got set on fire

and then pushed down

into the middle

of the lake?

Shut up.

That was you?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Oh, my god.

That thing, like,

almost burned down

a couple of boats.

And it stunk

because it was

like a chemical fire!

Like, what are the odds

that you as a child

saw the same things

that I saw as a child?

Actual same summers?

No, it's crazy.

Similar summers.

- Yeah.

- Similar summers.

- Tonie!

- Eric:
Tonie, positive vibes,

positive energy.

- I should be careful.

- Adam, look at this.

You got exactly

what you wanted.

We're all sitting around

playing a game together.

I wanted to play,

like, a co-op game

that we could all

sort of just work

together as friends.

But we are

playing together.

We're all

cooperating together

against tonie here.

It just kind of

feels to me like--

like a little bit

of a monkey's paw

at this point.

What does that mean,

monkey's paw?

Well, like, I wished

we were all playing a game,

and now I got my wish,

but it's like

the saddest, weirdest,

worst version of that

because I'm

just losing money

and I'm stressed out.

So it's like if you went
