The Invitation Page #4

We'd fell into one of those

arguments, you know,

one of those stupid fights

that last your whole marriage.

It was about the dishes.

Somebody started yelling.

I don't remember who.

I went to pour myself

another drink.

She tried to stop me, and...

Something just gave.

I turned and hit her

as hard as I could.

Her knees buckled.

She hit her head.

Think she was trying

to get back up.

You know, she had her hand out,

was staring at me.

And then she collapsed,

and she was gone.

What the f***?

It was a terrible,

terrible mistake.

It was seven years ago.

I went to prison.

I paid that way,

but I was still the same person.

Finally, by accepting

the invitation...

And looking only ahead,

destroying that

horrible part of me

that made

that moment possible...

I'm cured.

And I miss her.

Not a day goes by

I don't think of her.

But I don't grieve,

and I don't feel guilty anymore.

I've chosen to let that go.

Those emotions are useless,

because I'm gonna be

seeing her again

in a better place than this.

That's what we believe.

That's what most people have

believed for centuries.

I, for one,

can't wait to get there.

But forgiveness

doesn't have to wait.

I'm free to forgive myself,

and so are you.

It's a beautiful thing.

It really is.

What's more honorable,

facing the truth or

hiding it to be accepted?

And people change.

I don't know.

This...

Doesn't seem very honest.

It feels like you're

selling us something.

No, we aren't.

I want...

Are we really gonna

keep doing this?

- I want...

- This better be good.

I want to kiss Ben.

I always have.

Why the hell not?

Bring it, sister.

Oh, my god.

I want to kiss Ben.

One per party.

- Um, no.

- Boom. No?

- Whoo!

- Oh!

- Oh, yeah!

- Get it, girl!

- Ah!

- Get it, girl.

Go!

Jeez.

I don't know if I approve that.

And nobody tells Amanda.

Uh, I want a blow job...

Oh, you're ridiculous.

From somebody.

Oh, I know.

What?

I'm not joking.

I have to go.

No, come on.

We're just having fun.

It's all right.

This is all making me

a little uncomfortable.

I'm sorry.

Come on. I'll...

Have a seat.

I'll get you a drink.

We'll do something else.

No, no, no.

I don't want

to spoil anyone's fun.

This just isn't my thing.

- Claire, please.

- Hey, just...

Just let her go, David.

Why can't she just leave?

Will, I just want her to stay

and have a good time,

and Eden has planned this

night for a long time.

We'll be very disappointed.

Yeah, well, just let her

do what she wants, okay?

I'm gonna leave.

Of course.

- Bye.

- Bye.

I'm sorry if I've made

you feel uncomfortable.

It's... it's okay.

I'm tired.

Claire,

why don't you just stay

a little longer?

I'll see you again soon, okay?

I'm really sorry.

Okay, Claire.

Eden, it's okay.

I know.

Do you want me

to walk you to your car?

It's, like, 40 feet, will.

Bye.

- Bye, Claire.

- Bye.

- Nice meeting you.

- Bye.

Are you in the Prius?

Yeah.

I parked behind you.

Bye. Thank you, guys.

- What?

- Why did she leave?

Hey, will, come over

here, and talk to me.

Just give me a sec.

So what do you do?

- Okay.

- Well, I'm a nurse's assistant.

Careful on the right.

Okay.

Straight out.

You're all set.

Oh, uh, Claire.

- Miguel.

- I save lives.

Stop.

Will, come on.

Can you and I talk

alone for a minute?

It's important.

Yeah. Yeah.

Come on.

I'm very happy you're here.

It's so important

to Eden and me.

I mean, we chose you

because you matter to us.

You chose me?

To be here tonight.

But I don't know, man.

Y-you've been acting so...

Suspicious of our hospitality.

Frankly, it upsets me a little.

I lock the door,

and you have a fit about it.

Just now, my friend

wants to move his car,

and you're standing

by the window

like you're gonna catch him

stealing something.

You seem very distant, very...

Just off somehow.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I wasn't prepared

to be here tonight.

Okay.

Okay.

I appreciate your honesty.

Look, I... i understand

that you feel

like you have to be

on the lookout.

I know, because

that's how I felt.

The world is unsafe and chaotic,

and, you know,

it happened before.

It can always happen again.

David, please.

I don't pretend to know

what you went through

with your wife,

and you don't know me.

You can't.

Hey.

Hi.

I tried to convince

Claire to stay.

I felt bad about, uh,

my story scaring her.

She seemed to understand.

No, I swear to god, every day.

Every day I get an email,

and it's just I'm going,

you know, "what is this? Is this,

like, gonna kill my hard drive?"

And it's usually some stupid

fricking video of, like...

How many cat videos

has Claire sent you?

- Oh, my god.

- Claire has sent me cat videos

so... every day,

it's a cat video.

I mean, I got a cat video.

I got a penguin video.

Oh, my god, penguins.

Penguins are overrated.

- Overrated?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- They are.

- Here we go.

- Penguins?

- Yeah, they're happy,

and they're always like,

"oh, my god.

They're so adorable."

You're it.

Kira.

Kira.

Kira.

I need help, Tommy.

Oh, what?

So things aren't great

with Kira, huh?

Heh. What...

Why would you say that?

Just seems like that to me.

Seems like she's real distant.

No.

No, she's great.

Should we go back inside?

No. I'm gonna

make a call.

Oh, good luck.

There's no service up here.

No, it goes in and out.

I could hang with you.

You could f*** me right here.

What?

Why should we

deny ourselves ever?

It's what it was like in Mexico.

Man, everyone was

just going for it.

It was awesome.

I think you need

to go back inside.

You don't like me?

I don't know you.

I could make you

like me so much.

I could make you beg me.

Could do it without

even touching you...

Just with my voice...

My breath.

S-Sadie.

You can hurt me if you want.

I don't want to hurt you.

I don't believe you.

Hey. What are you

doing out here?

I needed a break.

Oh, really?

Heh heh. From what?

Tommy, there's

something wrong here.

Will...

Something bad is happening here.

You're wrong.

Look, and I know

what you're gonna say,

but Claire left because that

poor girl is sexually awkward.

CHOI is the most unreliable

Korean in Los Angeles.

He could be anywhere.

And Eden...

I haven't seen her

for two years.

It's crazy.

But we're all

trying to figure out

how to go on, you know.

This is how they do it.

Something doesn't

feel safe here.

Of course it doesn't feel safe.

Took a lot of courage

for you to come here tonight,

but you're letting your mind

run away with things.

Hey...

I love you, will.

But you gotta stop acting

so f***ing weird.

It's freaking people out.

You're safe, okay?

I'll see you back inside.

Will, CHOI.

What's up?

Listen,

it's about 7:
00,

and I'm pulling up

to Eden's house.

I forgot to pick up dessert

like I said I would,

and I can't get ahold of Gina.

Could you get some

on your way? I...

Look, I'm early, dude.

I'm actually early, but honestly

I don't want to go
