The Intervention Page #4

The... your...

Somebody's in a mood.

No drinking.

Ruby wants to sit you down

because of last night.

That is absurd.

Matt said that it was an isolated

incident and that you were fine.

Okay.

So what's the problem?

The problem is,

you are one mimosa away from

getting this whole thing

turned around on you.

If you wanna do

the intervention

with them,

you can't drink, okay?

You have to

keep it together.

Do you think i

can't not drink?

I don't really know.

Can you not drink?

The wording is so confusing.

Okay, simple.

No drinking.

Okay?

Fine. Fine.

It's better anyway. Yeah.

I gotta keep my

eyes on the prize.

Um...

Game time is in 10 minutes.

Ten minutes!

So, yes, be ready.

And Matt and Jessie, can you please

help me move this, uh, bucket?

Sure.

To the outside.

I guess take that side and...

perfect. And then we're gonna...

Oh, I gotta lift it.

Here.

Ooh.

I had an epiphany.

I know how to do it,

but we need to

figure out a way to get

Peter and Ruby to

leave for a little while,

so I can fill everyone in.

So, how are we gonna do that?

That wasn't part

of your epiphany?

No, it's not helpful. Okay?

Well, we tell them we need them

to go get something in town.

That's good. That's really good. Okay, what?

Uh, something

for the barbecue?

Okay.

Corn?

Hey, would you two mind,

after the game, going into town

to get some corn,

corn on the cob, for tonight?

Sure.

Great.

Oh, sh*t, babe.

Would you go to the kitchen

and grab my sunblock?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You and I are

very similar, Jessie.

Yeah?

Mmm-hmm.

We're both sexual beings.

I mean,

i have had sex, but I...

But it just

makes it hard because

we're never satisfied with

just one man or one woman.

I don't really understand

what's happening right now...

Just one kiss.

Just one. Just to

see what it feels like.

No, you'd probably be

very disappointed...

Jesus Christ.

What the f*** was that?

It was nothing.

Let's go play.

that you won't just move over

to third base, so...

I'm just gonna be

here on first base.

I'm not gonna be

running or anything.

How are you gonna catch

the ball when you can't...

All right, let's go!

Let's go!

How we feeling?

Jack. Pass it to me.

You can do it, Taylor!

Get it!

Oh, sh*t!

Look out!

It's been a while since I had

any balls flying at my face, so...

Matt!

Mattie! Mattie!

Here. Here, here, here!

Why didn't you just throw it to

me? It's gonna happen all day.

How do you want me

to throw it to you?

We're fine. This is sports.

This is what sports is.

but I was mvp on the kickball

team at my detention center, so...

Should not

brag about that.

All right,

all right, all right!

Here, here, here!

Right here, right here, right

here! Right here. Right...

I caught it any...

Will you pass me the ball,

Peter?

You want me to pass you the

ball? I'll pass you the ball.

Okay.

Ready to rumble.

Oh, my god, Ruby.

Are you okay?

Come on, let's go back to the

house and get some ice on it.

You all right?

Sorry.

God, Peter.

It's okay. We're just

gonna get some ice on it.

Should have a time-out.

I'm sorry.

It might be tricky to get

them to go on that errand now.

Does it hurt?

No, it just startled me,

more than anything.

So...

Yeah.

So, um, I was wondering

when you were planning on

going into town,

just because,

you know, I wanna know

that we are gonna have enough

time to prepare all of that corn.

Yeah.

I'll go in a few minutes.

You both have to go.

Yeah. Well, I don't think

Ruby's gonna wanna go with me

anywhere right now.

Peter, listen.

Life is hard.

Making your way in

the world today...

Takes everything you got.

Yup.

Peter, listen.

Take her out, get her some ice

cream, tell her you're sorry.

'Cause we all know

it was an accident, clearly.

But still,

it was embarrassing for her,

and she could probably use

some time-out. You know?

Thanks.

Hmm.

Hey.

You ready to go to the store?

I don't really feel like

going to the store right now.

All right. Um...

I'm just gonna be outside

if you need anything.

Hey. I'm sorry.

Will you please

come to the store with me?

So, corn? Just corn?

Thank you. Corn for eight.

Okay. Strategy meeting

inside, now.

I really am sorry.

Just stop apologizing.

Because you forgive me?

Just stop apologizing.

On a&e's Emmy award-winning

show, intervention,

they tell them that they're

gonna be part of a documentary...

Okay, okay, okay.

We know how the show works.

The point is, I think that

we should all write something

saying why we think

they should break up,

and as their closest

friends saying that

we want them to

stop doing something

No, no. No, we're not doing

that. What do you mean, "no"?

I actually don't think

this is a terrible idea.

No, you guys heard

Peter last night.

This will not go over well.

I think that it

will go over just fine.

How would you know?

You were passed out during

the whole conversation.

- Okay, Jack?

- Yeah?

You have now spent

24 hours with them.

Can you honestly

say that you feel

happy about them

being together?

but I'm not gonna tell Peter

what he should be doing.

Are you... You think

that Ruby is the problem?

I'm not saying Ruby...

Peter is about as warm as

a Russian gymnastics coach?

Guys,

if we're going to do this,

we need a plan that doesn't end in charades.

Oh, charades was

so much fun.

I think the letter

plan is really good.

Let's do the letter thing.

Yeah, I'm with Jessie.

I think it's a good plan.

That's a great idea.

is we should all start

thinking about what to write,

then we should

write something.

Lola, you should put on,

like, a whole shirt.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

Great.

You gonna

open the car?

I wanna take a walk.

We should get back.

Five minutes.

It's just incredible.

I just love that sound.

Mmm-hmm.

It's been years.

It's our bench.

Come on.

Sit with me.

No, Peter,

what are you doing?

Tell me the story.

You used to love

telling me the story.

This is ridiculous.

It's professional.

Okay, great, great, great.

This is all wonderful.

Oh! No, no, no.

Actually, actually...

No, I don't know

if we should have alcohol.

Okay, one glass of wine.

Just one glass of wine.

Annie.

That was a mistake.

That was a mistake.

- I'm just sweating so much.

- Take a breath.

Calm down. It's gonna be okay.

They're here!

What? Okay. Okay.

Thank you, Matt.

You did a great job.

Okay, Jessie,

take your position.

Where is... okay. Okay.

Next to me. Up.

And... next to me.

Your position is next to me.

Yup.

Here we go.

What's this?

Would you guys

please take a seat?

What's...

We got the corn.

Thank you.

Ruby.

Ruby, Peter...

Um...

Before we all got here,

we talked.

We...

Um...

The people in this room

who are not you two.

Not Lola, because she's new,

but just the five of us.

Part of the reason

that we wanted to come here

was to talk with you.

Um, because we...

We, uh, wanted to

bring something up.

It might come like...
