- You never wanted one.

- I want one now.

This is not fair.

You decided this.

You made this decision

by yourself,

and now I have

no f***ing say in it!

I don't know what to do!

You can't account for growth,

Reece.

[Somber piano music plays]

[Gate opens]

[Sighs]

Will:

Thank you.

[Traditional Asian music

plays on stereo]

Hey.

What?

What are you doing here?

Um...

if you want us to do

more work for you,

that's...

that's fine.

That's great.

Thank you.

Um... that'll be

the extent of it.

- Sure.

- Yeah.

- That's fine.

- Okay.

I just wanted

to, you know, face to face.

Yeah.

That's sweet.

That's...

[Sighs]

That's very sweet.

All right.

You look great.

Thanks.

Well...

Hey, uh... Anna,

she's really beautiful.

Yeah.

[Clears throat]

Yeah.

She's perfect.

[Gong rings]

Who was that?

Did I say you could

leave the room?

Get back in there.

You gonna punish me?

Yeah,

I'm gonna make you weep.

I'm gonna crush you

like a little grape.

- All right. Yeah, all right.

- Shh! No more talking.

Anna, you are my whole life,

you are my everything,

and I want us

to be together forever.

Same again.

Thank you.

I'm excited I get to have

a whole nother bottle.

- Mm-hmm.

- Okay.

[Sighs]

What?

Hmm?

Oh, nothing.

I was just thinking

about that trip.

What trip?

[Pops lips]

[Chuckles]

You know, the trip.

You wanted to go

on a trip.

Oh, okay.

Well, yeah, sure.

But don't you want to wait

until the house is finished?

Yeah. Right.

Right. Absolutely.

No, totally.

We probably should.

You know, um...

Oops.

Wrong pocket.

[Imitates trumpet fanfare]

- It's for you.

- Wait, is that...

- Mm-hmm.

- Are you...

- It's for you.

- Seriously?

Yes.

You mean you finished

the house?

Mm-hmm. So now

can we go on that trip?

[Both laugh]

No way!

I don't believe it.

[Laughs]

Let's go.

Come on.

I want to see it.

[Gasps]

What is it?

Open it.

Open it.

Gonna open it?

All right.

I'll open it.

[Laughs]

It's a ring.

Yes.

[Both chuckle]

I don't want

to be with anyone else.

I know that now, okay?

I... [Sighs]

I don't know who I am

without you, Anna,

and you're my whole life.

It's starts with you.

Can't not be you.

So [Chuckles] uh,

will you...

[Scoffs]

I should, you know...

[Chuckles]

Will you marry me?

- Yes. Yes.

- Yes?

- Yes.

- Good... Good answer. Good answer.

Of course I'll marry you.

I'll marry you.

Just get up.

[Laughs]

I bet your mother

wore it well.

Well, now it's yours.

Here it is!

Hmm?

Now wait.

It gets better.

You're gonna

love this.

[Lock disengages,

door opens]

[Will's footsteps fade]

[Light switch clicks]

Ta-da!

What do you think?

It's pretty good, right?

Look at this.

This is ours forever.

- What?

- Why would...

Why would...

Why did we do this?

So we could start

a family?

This is...

Come on.

You want to...

You want to come

and take a look?

What's wrong?

I can't.

Can't what, exactly?

Come on, Anna, will you just

please come inside?

Please?

Anna, I built this

for you, for us,

with my own hands,

okay?

I need you to look at it.

Can you just look

at it, please?

If I go in, I'll stay.

- Yes.

- Forever.

Yes, that is what

a house is for.

I just need to you come inside.

I need you to come inside.

Will you just get in

the f***ing house, please?

Anna, I just proposed,

and you said yes, okay?

It's fine.

It's gonna be fine.

I love you.

I love you.

Good, okay.

Let's do this.

Come on.

- Will. Will.

- What?

The house, it's...

it's perfect, but, uh...

I don't want it.

Just because

the house is done,

it... it doesn't mean

that we should get married,

and it... it doesn't mean

that... that we'll be happy.

W-W-We'll be happy.

We are happy.

Right?

Will, I know I've...

I'm ruining your...

You've worked so hard

and the house

is beautiful, but...

Will, we're just...

we're just playing house.

You don't want me.

What's wrong with me?

Hmm?

Nothing.

Anna, please.

"I don't know

who I am without you."

That's what you said,

right?

Don't you want to know?

God.

[Sighs]

[Inhales sharply]

[Sighs deeply]

We just grew up.

It's beautiful.

[Gate closes]

[Joan As Police Woman's

"New Year's Day" plays]

You won't

Find me here

Oh, no, you won't

Find me here

This New Year's

Day

Sell it to the sky

Tell it to your shyness

It never goes away

This ache I feel today

Take it like a man

Say it like you mean it

This is the final round

Lord, lead me to the sound

'Cause I am so convincing

I have almost tricked

myself into thinking

I would want to do it

all on my own

But I'm tired of my lies

Always in a state

A state of overstating

Why can't I find the grace

That let me quit this place

I fear I've lost my power

'Cause even when the feeling

is off

When I am asked to dance

I can't resist romance
