The Invitation Page #5

back down the hill

and look for a

f***ing patisserie.

I hope you get this.

See you here in a few, I guess.

I'm goin' in.

Okay, bye.

There he is.

- See?

- Hey, buddy.

All right, I want

to play "I want."

- I want...

- No more blow jobs.

I like this game. Was it

obvious that I like the game?

I have room.

I could do it.

We both enjoyed that game.

We did. Heh.

- Oh.

- Ooh.

I think this is a new game.

- I'm scared.

- This is the next game.

Maybe this is one

of those guess who...

So pretty.

- So purty.

- Nice.

It is lovely.

Stop it right now.

What is going on here?

Happy birthday.

What is this about?

It's not for another week.

It's close enough. Mwah.

- Okay, please, please.

- Come on.

But no singing.

- Oh, come on.

- Come on.

Please? Please? Thank you.

- It's wish time.

- All right.

Make it good.

Make it good.

Yeah.

You attacked that one.

- Bastard.

- Well done.

Where's CHOI?

Excuse me?

Where's CHOI?

I mean, where the f***

is CHOI, hmm?

What are you

talking about, will?

I just got a message from him.

He said he was here, that he

had gotten here at 7:00.

- What?

- He said he was here.

Eden, is that true?

I haven't seen CHOI tonight.

Edie, where is he?

Will, stop, please.

Just...

No. No. I just

got a message from him.

He said he was here.

He made the call

from right outside.

- We haven't seen him.

- Don't f***ing lie to me.

He called from right

outside your front door.

David is not lying to you.

CHOI never got here.

Maybe he turned around, man.

Look, he might have

forgotten something, will.

You never know.

Yeah, why is everyone

acting so f***ing polite?

Where's CHOI?

Hey, Eden, what's going on?

I have not seen CHOI

tonight, Gina, I swear.

Something isn't right here.

There is something

very strange going on here,

and no one is saying anything.

What do you think

is happening, will?

Hey, who are you? Hmm?

See, see, I don't get

why you two are here.

Hey, these are my guests.

Yeah. Hmm.

Two years. We don't

see you for two years,

and then all of a sudden,

we get invited

to this lavish dinner.

You're all smiles,

spewing out all this jargon

with these two in tow.

Don't tell me

that this is normal,

- the invitation.

- It helps people.

Will, everybody's

allowed to have...

No, it's a f***ing cult, Miguel!

It's a f***ing cult!

Will, sit down!

No! No, look at

the video, okay?

It's not about communion.

It's not about family.

It's about f***ing denial.

You are out of line.

All right, no,

it's about denial.

Oh, you know what it is?

It's a f***ing brainwash.

Our son died, Edie,

and you're trying to ignore it.

It meant something when he died,

and don't you try to erase that.

Ty was real. It was rea...

It is real.

Please, please, Edie.

Where's CHOI?

Will, she said she doesn't know.

I think this is just a

big misunderstanding.

Don't f***ing

patronize me, David.

Hey, why don't you

tell me something?

Why are all the doors

locked, huh?

Oh, my god.

Okay, why are all the bars

on the windows, hmm?

Why is there

a big f***ing bottle

of phenobarbital

stashed in your bedroom?

Jesus Christ, will.

Did you go through our things?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

We should go.

- No. No. No.

- We should go.

Something very dangerous

is going on here,

and nobody's talking about it.

We're all just ignoring it

because David brought out

some good wine!

We are going, will.

We are going.

No, I'm not going anywhere!

We are going right now, will.

It's all right.

All right.

What's up?

CHOI?

I'm so sorry.

I was right here,

and then work called,

and it's so f***ed up,

'cause they can't do

anything without me.

I called you.

I didn't get it.

You okay?

Hi, love.

Did I miss dinner?

You missed more than that, bud.

We have plenty.

I'll get you something.

I'll fix him a plate.

Thank you, Pruitt.

What's going on?

David...

It's okay.

We really should go now, will.

Just give him a minute, Kira.

I'm... I'm sorry, Eden.

I know it's hard, will,

but you can't criticize us

for finding our own way

through this.

I've never done that to you.

I know. I know.

It's none of my business.

I know,

and I'm very sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're part of our family, will.

All of you are.

Will you... will you

excuse me for a second?

CHOI, eat.

You... you got

any more of that wine?

Just gotta lather it up.

Keep washing.

10 seconds, at least.

We should go.

Let's go, then.

Let's just...

Let's just get out of here.

I can't.

Kira, I'm not okay.

My son is dead.

Where do I put that?

I don't know.

It's like a scream

trapped inside me.

And nothing changes the fact

that I should have...

I should have been watching

more closely that day.

Now, look, you couldn't

have known, will.

You could not have been

looking out for that.

It's another kid.

And Ty loved him.

And they were just playing.

They were just messing around.

I shouldn't have

let them have the bat.

What happened to your son

wasn't anything that could be

predicted or changed or...

I've been waiting to die since

the moment it happened.

Moving forward

is not a betrayal, will.

Look at Eden.

That's what

letting go looks like.

You're not letting go of him.

I would never ask you to.

You know that.

We can help each other, will.

That's the only way.

I love you, Kira...

But I don't think

you can help me.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, you are.

Mmm. Red velvet.

Miguel, you get the first piece.

I'm excited.

Hi, will.

Can I see his room?

Of course.

I know you have doubts.

Skepticism can be contagious.

I wouldn't have known either

before I saw the new truth

and shared it with you.

I wouldn't have believed,

but it was revealed so clearly.

Remember the reward.

This beautiful moment

is upon us.

Tonight is the night

our faith is made real.

The hardest thing is to start.

Just take the step.

Believe, and give yourself over.

Will, let's go.

Everybody's waiting.

I love you.

I love you so much,

my heart is breaking.

I'm waiting for you.

Okay.

Kira.

Look at these people.

They're so happy

to be here with you.

I think we should take a moment

to look at each other

and really look.

Please raise your glass.

To a better world.

To peace.

Cheers.

Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Don't drink it!

Don't f***ing touch it!

- No! No!

- Will!

- No, don't drink!

- Don't drink!

- Calm down, will.

No. No.

We are leaving now!

- Control yourself.

- Will, you do not want to go this way.

Let's go, Kira. We're

leaving right now!

- Calm down.

- No, we are leaving now!

You ruined it!

You ruined everything!

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Sadie.

Sadie.

- Sadie.

- Oh, my god, will.

What did you do?

Don't move her.

Sadie.

Somebody call 911.

- I'm on it.

- Sadie.

Sadie, can you hear me?

Do you have

a first-aid kit?

Sadie, can you hear me?

It's okay, Sadie.

- She's not breathing.

- No, she's breathing.

- Not Sadie, Gina.

- What?

Gina?

All right, get her to the floor.
