would have been nice.

This place is f***ing crazy, right?

Yeah, who do we know here?

Oh, uh, Mailer's second cousin's godfather

knows the guy who owns this place.

- Okay, and you hooked up with...

- That guy's daughter.

Yeah, it was awesome.

I got it. The little b*tch

is crying in the corner.

- This is Howie from Texas.

- Hello.

All the guys say I'm a stereotype of myself

or whatever the f*** that means?

Yes, we're all very proud

of our resident moron here.

Uh, pot, kettle, kettle, pot.

Eat my sh*t, Paul.

Spencer, I'm wearing a tie.

You might as well call

me a p*ssy vandal tonight.

Okay, settle down, champ, huh.

There is only coke in this coke.

Blasphemy!

Spencer, this is Stephanie. Stephanie...

- Hey!

- What's up?

- Guys, this is...

- Alright, everybody.

Can we make a little bit of a moment here?

Can we raise our glasses

to the air

and can we clink it up, b*tches.

Alright.

What?

What did you say this

chick's name was again?

- Alice.

- Alice, okay. Alice.

Well, if this is something

that you think you need...

...Spencer...

...f***ing go for it. Do it.

Nobody knows better than you.

Emily was your perfect girl...

...this stuff is different.

I mean you can't be nice all of your life.

And if this feels real,

you might as well follow it.

Go for it.

I mean that's what you always said to us.

"Just follow what's real."

Well... real isn't always nice.

I guess this can't last forever

Maybe be one day I'll remember

I'll remember fantasy

Perfect like a tree

Maybe one day I'll remember

How I lived a fantasy

All the girls surrounded me

We were la la la

La la la la

La la la la...

There you are.

Holy sh*t.

I know.

Who needs this much space?

Right?

I bet they haven't even read any of these.

Talon 1-1, take the shot.

Take the shot.

I say again, engage. I'll copy, over.

Take the shot.

You should build me a desk.

"Submarine Kid."

I-I love this book.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh, "Thunder Lake."

That's weird.

I know Thunder Lake.

I've never even heard of this.

You've seriously never

read "The Submarine Kid?"

No.

I know every word in this book.

Okay.

Go.

Once upon a time...

...or so the story has been told.

A boy became acquainted

to a life under water.

Keep going.

- Hey, his phone's out.

- Sh*t!

Dude is back for two days

and there's already a scandal.

Alright, guys, don't say sh*t

about this Alice thing, okay?

I mean he only told us 'cause he knows

we can keep this sh*t tight.

Is that her name, Alice?

What about Emily?

They're on a break.

Oh, sh*t.

That's the news of the year.

The only one that would talk would be Howie

and he's not gonna remember sh*t.

You see, you see, you see.

Howie, come on, man.

What? What are you looking at?

And they're still searching

to this day.

Impressive.

Let's find "War and Peace."

As long as we stay together

The mountain starts to fall

As long as we stay together

I can see it all...

Who are you?

I wanna steal this book.

You should.

They won't miss it.

Do you hear that?

It's not real.

F*** you, a**hole!

Hey, look, dick, we gave

your cousin his bow-tie back.

F*** off! You don't wanna

have the deal with us tonight.

Kick these a**holes out of here, Joplin.

- F*** you, man!

- Hey, hey, hey.

What's going on here?

This isn't your problem, commando.

- Why don't you just step...

- Hey, hey, hey!

Back up off my friend.

Talon 1-1.

Take the shot. Take the shot.

Come on! F*** this f***er!

Wait, wait, wait. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Spencer, it's me.

It's me. Are you okay?

Are you okay?

I can see it all

See it all

The longer we stay together

Tower One's compromised.

Redirect for immediate medevac.

Let's go! Let's get him out of here!

- Let's move. Let's move!

- Let's go!

- Move it out now!

- Call backup!

Falling back. Falling back!

Man, let's go! Let's go!

Move it right now! Come on, guys, roll out!

I can see it all

The longer we stay together

The mountain starts to fall

As long as we stay together

As long as we stay together

I can see it all

We stay together

As long as we stay together

We stay together...

Talon 1-1, take the shot.

Please, slow down.

Please, Spencer, slow down.

- Take the shot.

- Let's go, move it, move it.

Fall back to rendezvous point.

Engage. Copy. Over.

Stop the car.

Please listen to me.

- Oh, God.

- Talon 1-1. Take the shot.

Take the shot!

Slow down. I'm begging you please.

Take me home.

I'm sorry.

What was that, Spencer?

You freaked out back there.

- I'm sorry.

- What am I doing?

I don't even know who you are.

That wasn't me.

There's blood on your shirt.

Oh, f***.

Oh, f***.

I'm sorry.

I f***ed up.

I f***ed up.

I f***ed up. I f***ed up.

I f***ed up.

I'm f***ed up.

I'm f***ed up!

I'm f***ed up!

I'm so f***ed up!

F***!

F***.

Spencer?

Yeah.

This, uh...

Is this a pretty normal date night for you?

Take me somewhere special.

I've been coming here for 20 summers.

It's just...

...always felt like the place where I'm...

...supposed to be.

I can feel that.

It's, uh...

It's comforting.

Yeah. See, and you've only

been here for 30 seconds.

Yeah, it's comforting and...

...I don't know, I just always

felt drawn to this place.

It's almost perfect.

- You wanna try something?

- I think so.

It's kinda crazy.

Okay.

I'm ready for that.

- Oh!

- Oh, my God!

Holy crap! That was amazing!

Paul showed me that!

I never actually did it myself before.

What? You can't tell me that!

God.

Oh.

Oh, man.

This night is perfect.

Would you wanna live here

forever, Spencer Koll?

I could do that...

...Alice...

Shelley.

Shelley.

Do you wanna live here

forever, Alice Shelley?

I want that.

Yes.

Sing to me sweetly

I'll shut these sore eyes

And carry me on to the night

I've got this ghost

That just won't let go

You've got a way

To soothe my soul

I don't ever want to go back.

I wanna stay here... with you...

...forever.

Sounds perfect.

Let's do it again.

You've just got to give

me a minute to reload.

I meant, um...

Oh!

Are you ready?

Let's go.

There he is, there he is.

He's coming up.

- He came up?

- Baby.

Hey, Spencer, I'm Doctor Fisk.

I want you to take it easy.

I don't want you to say anything now.

You were in that water

there for quite a bit.

You had a near drowning.

It appears you aspirated

a pretty significant

amount of water that was very cold.

And we're fortunate that

your body has been trained up

in that sort of thing.

So I just want to ask

you a couple of questions.

What's your name?

Spencer Koll.

Do you know what the date is?

Thursday, I'm not really sure.

Do you know what month it is?

- June.

- Good.

Who is the President?

Obama.

I think you're gonna do just fine.

I do wanna keep you here

for just a tad longer though, okay, bud?

I wanna keep an eye on the lungs

I wanna do some respiratory monitoring

and then we'll let you go.

- Where is...

- She'll be down in a minute.

The other nurses let her
