The One I Love
1
So we met at a party,
and it was magic.
Within a half hour,
we were driving up into
this really nice neighborhood,
and we were
mooing down the stairs
of some stranger's backyard,
and then we were swimming
and we were in love.
What we didn't count on
was that even though
the lights were off,
the owner of the home
was there,
and he came out
screaming at us,
and it was the greatest
night of my life.
Ready?
So my idea was, you know,
let's try
and re-create that moment.
Oh, it's freezing!
It's a little colder
than I remember it.
Do you think
he's coming out?
I'm sure. I'm sure he
heard us, right?
Hello? This is fun.
Yeah.
Where is he'?
Maybe he's not home.
Happy anniversary anyway.
Happy anniversary
When we were in the
water and we were waiting
and no one came out,
no one was home,
and we were
just floating there,
I felt sad,
and I felt like our happiness
used to be so easy
and there used to be
so much of it,
and now I feel like
happiness is something
that we have to re-create.
Ah.
I'm sorry. I tried to make
a romantic moment.
I'll never take you
to a f***ing pool again.
Oh, come on.
Don't do that.
Okay.
This could be fun.
We're going to do a
compatibility exercise.
I want you both to play a note
at the same time, okay?
Just any note?
Wow! You guys are not in sync,
are you?
We used to be great.
We used to be
really irreverent and...
Yeah. There was teasing.
- Yeah.
- And stuff. Like I...
I mean no offense...
But I would call you
a b*tch and it was funny.
Yeah, it was hilarious.
I used to call you a b*tch.
- You thought it was really funny.
- Yeah.
I just don't know how
we're going to move forward
if we keep having
this circular conversation
about me doing what I did
which I have
apologized for already,
and we are here because
we are trying to move on.
I don't see why we have to
keep revisiting that
because it's the same conversation
over and over again.
Because you don't get
to decide that, Ethan.
You don't get to decide
when we move on, I do.
So, you guys having sex?
Now if you'd played
this one, Sophie...
or that one...
...that's pretty, right?
But this...
...not so much.
Anyway, it's just an exercise.
I want to trust you again.
I want to forgive you.
I want
all of those things.
I want us
and I want us to work.
I don't know why you feel
like I don't want that.
Because we don't agree on
how were going to get there.
Where are you?
Okay.
I have an idea.
This is a great place.
I think it will be
very helpful.
It's absolutely beautiful.
It's about an hour and a half
north from here.
It's like a...
like a perfect retreat,
just the two of you.
Give you a chance
We sent
a tot of couples there,
and they've all come back
renewed.
- What do you think?
- I mean, I'll try anything.
Sophie?
Wow!
Hello'?
And then when you
pour the wine, you do this.
This is what they do in
the restaurants. Watch this. Whoop.
So it doesn't drip.
Even though I kind of...
- It kind of dripped.
- I don't think you did it right.
Cheers!
To me and my cooking.
There's a guest house
on the property
which is pretty cool.
- Really?
- Yeah.
I don't even know
if we're supposed to use it
or if someone else
is renting it.
Oh, God.
What's happening?
Come here.
Come here.
What's happening?
Whoa!
Yeah, yeah.
You've got to hold it.
Hold it in, hold it in.
There you go.
- Geez.
- Wow, still got it.
Get the light going.
- Sweetie.
- Sorry, sorry.
Give me kiss.
Aw! You're so cute
without your glasses.
You shouldn't wear these.
I like you without them.
Do you like me
without the glasses?
Should I wear them?
Get over here!
You found me.
I found you.
Hey.
Hey there.
Hey, you know,
you were right.
- Really?
- Mmm-hmm.
Do tell.
We need to try
more new things,
like weekends away
in places like this.
- You think so?
- Mmm-hmm.
It makes me excited
about us again.
Do you feel it?
- I do.
- Yeah.
I love you.
I love you.
And here it comes.
- Aw.
- Oh!
- Close!
- The bounce. It's okay.
- Okay, wait. Your turn.
- Okay.
- Oh, under.
- Under. Okay.
Under and in.
Oh, sh*t!
Oh, you got it.
Oh, my God!
Of course I got it.
- Ready?
- Mmm-hmm.
This is your grape.
Hi.
Come here, come here.
What?
Come here.
That was awesome!
I knew you could do it.
Do you want to
sleep here tonight?
Can we?
Sure. We can do
whatever we want.
Okay. Yep.
Let me just get some clothes.
I don't want to sleep
in my jeans.
- Okay.
- You want anything?
I'm good.
I love you, hon.
I'll be right here.
Okay.
Ha-ha! You're asleep.
Very funny.
You did it.
You got your joke.
Ethan.
Ethan.
Stop it.
Stop it. I laughed.
It's over now.
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
How did you get up here
so fast?
Did you find
a secret passageway?
Yeah, secret underground passage.
- Wow!
- Mmm-hmm.
So mysterious.
No, seriously.
How did you get here so fast?
You beat me.
What?
How did you get here from
You mean, before dinner?
I was just walking outside
and I just walked over.
No, not before dinner,
just now.
Why are you so sweaty?
Did you go for a run
or something?
Oh, yeah.
Because... Is that the joke
that's happening now?
What?
The joke that you're
not going to remember
that we just had sex,
because that's really funny.
Wait!
We just had sex?
Okay. That's not funny.
I'm not trying to be funny.
I thought you were
making a joke.
Why are you doing
this right now?
I'm not doing anything.
I've...
Huh?
You know what, Ethan?
You just had
a really nice night
and I don't know
why you would ruin it.
I'm not trying
to ruin our night.
I want to have a nice night.
Fine, we had sex.
It was great.
You were amazing.
You're an a**hole.
Good night.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I love you.
Hey.
Good morning, handsome.
Oh! I'm hungover.
Well, it sounds like
you need some breakfast.
Not that we need to
get back into it. Um...
But that was a little
bit of a weird fight last night.
I know.
I don't really understand
what happened,
but I feel like
maybe we just chalk it up
to like some bad pot...
Alcohol combo,
put it behind us
and not let it
ruin the trip.
Agreed, totally.
Cool.
That being said,
it was one of the weirder
fights we've had. Like...
Oh my God, I know.
Crazy, right?
I mean, I still don't
fully understand
whether you were
so drunk and stoned
that you thought
we had sex
or were you just were making
a joke and it backfired.
Honestly' I think it was just
one of those things, you know?
One of those things...
No, I'm asking you
was it that you were
drunk and stoned
or was it playing a joke...
Because I'm still confused
what happened.
is that, you know,
we fought,
we made up,
we had a nice cuddle,
beautiful day.
Sophie, what are you
talking about?
We had a fight
