The Intervention Page #7

Synopsis: A young couple, Peter and Ruby, are married with three children. On a weekend trip a tight-knit group of friends confront them about their constant bickering and propose they divorce. Reacting in anger, the couple clearly realize the truth in what their friends are trying to say; nonetheless, they remember their old feelings for each other and decide instead to strive to improve their relationship. Later, the intervention is turned around on Annie (Lynskey) and her alcohol problem, while she begins to realize that her conspired marriage intervention for Ruby and Peter may have been based on her suppressed doubts about her own impending wedding.

And we just... We sat on

this bench laughing and crying

and holding each

other for hours.

It was the happiest day

of my life.

All of my happiest days

have been with you.

I still love you,

but I...

But I'm not happy.

And I know that

you're not either.

And I'm so sorry.

I'm...

And I don't know, Peter,

I don't know if we can...

If we can fix it.

But I wanna try.

Will you try with me?

Nothing. Why won't they just call

or text or tweet or something?

Yeah, I mean it's really rude they're

not considering you in all this.

Guys, I'm so sorry.

I think that...

You don't have to apologize,

okay?

You guys were right.

Oh, god.

You poor things.

How are you

gonna tell the kids?

Well, we're not.

You'll just move

out in the night?

No.

Nobody's moving out. We're...

we are gonna work things out.

Oh, yay!

You're staying together?

Yeah.

No.

No. No.

No, no, no, you weren't

supposed to stay together.

You were supposed

to get divorced.

Yeah, but we don't want to.

You're trapped

inside this endless chapter

of torment and misery

and this was your way out.

Take it.

This is a disaster!

Okay, have fun being married

for the rest of your lives.

Annie, can...

Annie.

Hey. Hey.

What's going on?

I don't want to get

married in October.

Okay.

When do you want

to get married?

Because we said,

"no more postponing."

That was the deal.

I know.

Do you want to

get married to me?

I want to want to.

I have never wanted to want

anything more in my whole life.

You're my best friend in the

world, but I don't wanna be a mom.

I don't wanna be a wife,

even your wife.

Well, then, maybe you're

just not ready, maybe...

Do you wanna get married

and you wanna have kids?

Yeah.

I want you to

have those things.

Please have a seat.

"Annie.

"Your drinking has affected me

in the following ways."

I missed you.

I missed you.

I was thinking

that, um...

When we get home that maybe

we could start talking about

potentially

moving in together,

if you feel like that's something

you wanna start talking about.

Uh, yeah.

I could potentially be into

um, starting that conversation.

Cool.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you so much.

Soon? We'll see you

in October though, right?

This was so fun.

Okay. Bye!

Okay, bye, guys.

Everybody drive safe. Bye.

Thank you.

Yeah. Thank you.

Uh, what about

New Orleans?

Could stay all night.

Have you ever

been to L.A.?

No.

Can I get you

anything to drink?

Yeah. Can I please

have an orange juice?

Actually, uh...

No, don't worry.

Orange juice is great.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Can I get you

anything to drink?
