The Intervention

Hi.

Okay.

Turn around.

Okay? Bye.

Turn around.

Okay.

Something to drink?

I... um...

Yeah,

can I have an orange juice?

Actually, um,

can you make that a scotch?

Rocks.

Double.

Oh, that's it.

You know, if you're gonna

have a plain black bag,

you should put something on it to

distinguish it from the other bags.

I don't know why you needed

a whole suitcase anyway.

We're only there three days.

Well, two days,

three nights.

Well, but I guess Monday is a travel

day, so technically three days.

Okay.

Here's the thing.

I am the person

who overpacks her things

in an unmarked,

generic black suitcase, okay?

It's who I always have been.

It's who I always will be.

That is what

you're signing up for.

I know. I can't wait

to sign up for you.

Did you have

a drink on the plane?

Just one. I mean...

Oh, that's it.

Uh, Annie. Just letting her

know where we are.

You know,

that's a lovely blouse.

This? Thanks.

Your first time in Savannah? Yeah.

My family has

a house here from...

Yeah, it's a beautiful city.

I'd love to show you around.

Well, you know, we're actually

staying an hour out of town, so...

Oh, shame.

You know, if you'd rather

spend the weekend with Rick,

I would totally get that.

'Cause it seems that

you guys really connected.

Yeah, i don't know, I think

maybe he was just being friendly.

Lesbians!

Hey.

Hello.

This is where

the subarus are.

Hi.

You love that

Subaru joke, huh?

I love it.

It's my favorite.

Um, so Peter and Ruby get in

in a couple of hours.

Hmm-hmm. And, Matt, did you talk to Jack?

Yeah, he's driving.

Probably get in around

the same time as us.

How's he doing?

Well, you know.

Do we know if

he's bringing her?

Uh, he didn't say.

He can't really

bring her, right?

He shouldn't.

He shouldn't bring her.

It's not appropriate.

Fifty bucks says

he brings her.

You're on.

Jess, why have you

never brought me here?

None of us have been here in what, six years?

I would've come

here without you.

Jessie, this is your family's

little summer house?

It belongs to our

whole family.

What are you, like, a

secret Kennedy or something?

Seriously, I really think that

we should stay together.

I've been thinking about

it a lot since we got here

and I really feel like...

Babe. Babe.

I mean, what is this?

This place is perfect.

There are people who take care

of it and get it ready for us.

What, you mean like oompa-loompas? Yes.

No way.

I missed this place.

I don't understand why we're

not just getting married here.

Baby!

Oh! Oh, no!

No!

My friends!

- My friends!

- Hi.

A check is fine,

if that's all you have.

Okay, this is Lola.

Yes.

Annie, Matt, Jessie, Sarah.

This is Lola.

Hello. Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Why not?

Good to see you.

Hi.

How are you? Good to

see you. Good to see you.

You guys good?

Yeah. Yeah, we're good.

We just got here.

It's far hotter in that car than

anywhere else in the universe.

Hot.

Um, Jack,

can we talk to you, please?

We just got here.

Now, right now?

Jessie, can you...

Sure. Sorry.

I'm good without you.

Over there? Okay.

Yeah, there's a...

What's up?

Can you guys

just give me a break, please?

Well, excuse me, but this

is a very delicate situation

and I don't think having

some baby stranger around

is going to make Peter

and Ruby feel very safe.

We shouldn't even be doing

this in the first place.

Well, we are doing it.

We all agreed.

Nope. I'm gonna stop you

right there. I never agreed.

Okay. Well, the majority

agreed, and we are doing it.

This marriage intervention

is long overdue.

Oh, my god.

That sounds even more insane

when you say it out loud.

"Marriage intervention"?

Yeah, it doesn't

sound great.

So, Lola,

where do you live?

Um...

Nowhere.

I kind of just

travel around with Jack.

We met at south by southwest

at my boyfriend's show.

We just, like, saw each

other and were like...

Just,

like, hit it off really well.

That's cool.

So, Jessie's

your girlfriend.

Exactly. Yeah.

Right. Okay.

How long have you

guys been together?

Three years.

Oh. Three years. Nice.

Where do you guys live?

We live in

Los Angeles.

But, you know, not together.

We don't live together.

Oh, okay.

Why not?

Uh, she's very independent.

Right, right, right.

Hmm.

Do you want me to just tell

her right now to go home?

No.

Yeah.

That's extreme.

Okay, fine, no.

feel bad for

bringing her along.

Jack, I...

Did you guys ever

think for one second

what it would feel like

for me to come back here?

She's kind, she loves me,

and she makes me feel good.

And f***, i really need

to feel good right now.

So please, be nice. Okay?

Tell them,

"no f***ing way."

No, you're not

getting on the plane

until they make good

on the terms of the contract.

Have faith in yourself. You're a

genius. I'm gonna leave it at that.

All right. When I hear from

them, I'm gonna text or e-mail.

All right, good.

Sorry.

I love sitting on the side

of the road for 30 minutes,

'cause it just gives my ass

a chance to sleep.

Okay. I said

I'm sorry. Okay?

We're going into a dead zone,

and it's an important call.

Obviously, I couldn't risk

getting dropped.

Just because other people's

priorities are different than yours

doesn't mean

they're not important.

Okay, you know what?

Let's just drop this.

Gladly.

I think we should

do it tonight.

Tonight?

That way they

have the weekend to

process while

they're amongst friends.

Yeah, or it could mess up

the whole weekend.

Well, I'm pretty sure this

whole weekend's been f***ed

before it began, right?

Why are you even here?

But since you insisted on

doing this, i wanted to be here.

Peter has been your best friend for 20 years

and Ruby is Jessie's sister

and my mentee.

She's your mentee?

She's always looked up to me.

I think we should do it tonight after dinner.

Okay, I haven't seen

him in a long time,

but there's no way

they could be that bad.

I've been looking forward

to this all week long.

Let's just pretend

to have a good time, okay?

Oh, you mean like

i do at home?

Well, if I'm

being brutally honest,

Okay, let's move past it.

We're done. Can we do that?

It's done. Okay?

Hi.

Hey!

Sorry, we would've

been here earlier,

Ruby, what happened to your leg?

Need any help with your bags?

Oh, it's broken,

but it's fine. Yeah.

Hi.

Hi.

I can't believe

you broke your leg.

Did you start

coloring your hair?

No.

Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Good to see you.

I'm good, but, oh, my god...

I'm Lola.

- Nice to see you.

- The house is amazing.

Have you checked

on the kids yet?

We just got here,

Peter, so no.

All right, can we?

'Cause we haven't called

since we landed.

Ah, so, just so everyone knows,

there are delicious drinks

being served just out

in back on the porch, so...

Wanna come have a drink?

Uh, I think we should

settle in first before we...

Peter, is there anything else

you wanna micromanage?

I'm fine. I am... all right.
