The Intervention Page #6

I'll come out if you

promise not to talk about it.

I promise to not talk

about anything you want.

Petey.

Peter!

I should've probably tried

to stop this whole thing.

I really don't

think you could have.

No, I guess not.

Once the Annie-train

starts rollin' along,

it's kind of hard to stop.

I already started today, so...

Who's that?

You know, two weeks before

we found out Mary was sick,

she told me she

wanted a divorce.

And we met with a lawyer,

we started the whole process.

I knew she

wanted me to fight it.

Thought it'd be easier just

for us to go our separate ways.

And then the second we

found out she was sick,

everything changed.

In an instant,

all that resentment

and all that venom and anger

we had toward each other,

it just disappeared.

Right, and there we were...

The same two people who fell

in love 10 years earlier.

It was so crushing

to watch her go through that,

but, you know, it was

the best year of our marriage.

And then, she was gone.

You know,

it took something devastating

for me to figure out what

I had right in front of me.

Well, are you

gonna do like a buffet

style or a table service,

because...

Yeah, but then everybody can just

pick what they want, you know,

and the food

doesn't get as cold.

What about kids? Are

there kids invited? Yeah.

I mean, I guess it depends

how many people, right?

Right.

How many people

are you thinking?

I'm not sure.

You found

the dress yet?

There are

versions of it, yeah.

What about the cake? What

are you doing about the cake?

We don't really know.

Well, you have to order it in,

like, months in advance.

I'm really good with any of this

stuff if you need help, Annie.

It's just, you know,

Matt is doing everything,

so he's been like a godsend.

Have you picked your song?

Your wedding song?

Speaking of Matt,

um, where are they?

Because it's...

Oh. Whew.

Speak of the devils.

Hi, guys.

I'm sorry.

Would you guys mind?

No. No.

Yeah.

You agree with them?

I won't let it get messy.

I'm sorry i

don't have a penis.

I'm sorry I'm so old.

You know,

as long as we're hangin' out,

havin' fun,

I don't have to

kiss anybody else.

Hey. Wake up.

Hmm.

I made blueberry pancakes.

Come on. Come on.

Morning.

There's some fresh coffee and

a spread of whatever you like.

What do you think

is happening here?

I think he's lost it.

What are you guys

waiting for?

- Come on, eat.

- Hi.

Morning.

Hey.

Eat, please.

What smells so good?

Hi.

I also made muffins.

They should be done...

Uh, from scratch?

...in about two minutes. Yes.

Peter, are you okay?

Yeah.

There she is.

Yeah.

Good morning.

Okay, now that

everyone is here,

I would like to fill you in

on today's schedule.

I was thinking last night,

I realized that every time we

come here, we go out on the boat.

It's pretty much

the best part of the trip.

And we haven't

been on the boat yet.

Hmm? So everyone eat, get dressed,

and in one hour we will depart.

A day on the water.

Everybody in?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I love boats.

Excellent.

I'm gonna finish making lunch.

Everybody eat.

And the muffins

are coming right up.

Five minutes!

I feel concerned.

- He's fine.

- Hey!

Fine-adjacent.

Listen, do me a favor.

Google "how to tell if someone's

having a psychotic break."

Annie.

Woo! You guys not

hear the bell?

Yeah. Rally the troop! Let's go! Come on.

Come on. Come on.

We're gonna...

Listen. I think he is...

No, he's not.

What's going on?

You guys not hear me?

Let's get goin'.

Yeah.

For the record,

this is turning off

and it's staying here.

Hi!

Why aren't you dressed?

I'm not going, Peter.

What?

No. Come on. We're all gonna

get going. We'll wait for you.

I'm not going.

Ruby, you have to come.

It's a tradition.

You can't just change tradition.

You can't just walk away.

Look, hey, Ruby.

You spend years

building these things, right,

and they mean something.

You can't just walk

away without even...

Jesus f***ing Christ,

Peter, just stop!

Stop what?

Stop it, all of this,

all of this f***ing bullshit!

The f***ing boats,

the sandwiches!

Just stop it!

I was just trying to do

something nice. It's too late.

It's just way too

f***ing late. Okay?

It's not too late.

You need to just let go!

So, that's it, you made up your

mind, you're just gonna walk away...

You'll leave it all behind,

right, the family, everybody?

You gave up years ago.

And you didn't?

Look, I'm not saying

that I'm innocent here.

We've been hurting

each other for years.

But just think

about it, Peter.

When was

the last time you even

remember feeling

in love with me?

Last night.

Last night?

Yeah.

Okay, and before then?

I don't... please.

Exactly.

There's nothing here, Peter.

There's nothing.

That's not true!

That can't be true.

Come on, Ruby.

I'm done. I can't.

There are some things

that are worth fighting for,

and I'm asking you if you

will fight for it with me.

I need you to go, okay?

I need you to leave.

Come on. Please.

Come on, Ruby. Please!

I need you to leave.

Just f***ing leave, okay?

Just get the f*** outta here!

Don't f***ing touch me, Jessie. Go away.

Get the f*** out!

Get out!

Get out! Get outta here!

Now what?

Don't you think

we should go check on her?

No.

No.

I think I'm gonna

go up there.

Annie, don't.

See what's happening.

I was just coming to see if,

you know, if there was any...

She threw peaches at me.

Peaches.

So, I think one

of you should try.

Actually, no.

No, thanks.

Guys...

What?

I could go talk to her.

Lola, no, no, no.

Why?

Yes.

Yes. Actually, I think

that would be perfect.

'Cause Ruby would never throw

peaches at someone she doesn't know.

You shouldn't get in

the middle of this.

It's okay. I can do it.

Guard your face.

Is it cool if I sit down?

So, do you wanna break up with your husband?

Why would I talk to you?

I don't know.

It's been so bad for so long.

I just let go of the idea

that we'd ever be good again.

It will be easier

just to end it, but I...

But I don't want to.

And I'm so mad at myself

that I don't, but I...

But I don't.

So, don't.

But what if we try

and it doesn't work?

Well, maybe you'd regret

not trying more.

What if we can't get back

to where we were?

Well, maybe

you could make something new.

Hi, you've reached Peter's

cell. Leave a message after...

We'd just finished lunch.

We were supposed

to go back to the house

because my dad was

going to take you fishing.

And you asked me

to go for a walk.

You seemed so nervous.

I thought it was because

you were scared to be

alone with my dad, but...

I wanted to be alone with you

for just a few more minutes.

So, we went for a walk

and we came here.

I remember thinking, "i never

thought i could be so in love."

And then you got on your knee

and took out the ring

and asked me to marry you.

I started crying and I couldn't

speak, i was crying so much.

And I just nodded, and I nodded,

and I jumped in your arms.
