my film.

Golden Age.

And I'm hoping

it could cause a...

real kind of

a cultural disruption.

Yeah.

Okay. Well, um...

Unless you have any more

questions for me, um...

I got another meeting

I got to run to, so...

- No.

- Well, great. Thanks, Joe.

It was great meeting you.

And, hey, I appreciate

you coming in.

Thank you.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[whirring]

[shouting]

Motherf***er!

F*** you, piece of sh*t!

Joe, Joe!

Babe!

[turns vacuum cleaner off]

Baby!

What the hell?

This f***ing thing

is a piece of sh*t.

[Joanne] Whoa!

[Joseph sighs]

What's going on?

Why are you so angry?

I bombed that f***ing

interview today.

That's okay.

You know, you didn't really

want that job anyway.

Are you saying that I

deliberately sabotaged it?

No.

I'm just saying it's not

worth going berserk about.

I'm worried about you.

I'm worried, too, Joe.

Look, I don't know

if I can...

[sighs] All right,

I'm gonna be honest with you.

This movie is not

going well.

It's like...

I'm...

drowning in it.

And it used to be the only

place I could go

to get my head straight.

And it's just...

It's not...

working anymore.

It's making it worse.

Okay. Um...

Making what worse?

Everything.

Me...

[sighs] It's like...

It's like I'm getting more

and more outside of myself.

But not in a good way.

Like, I'm watching myself

do these...

things.

[exhales]

The other day I saw

a dog on the road.

I don't know.

Something is wrong with me.

Something is

just very,

very wrong with me.

And...

[stammers] And I'm having

these thoughts and

I don't know if

this is the real me,

or if the real me is

this other person

that's thinking these...

these things, and I...

I don't know.

Maybe it's normal.

Maybe it's normal.

But it's not normal.

I know it's not normal.

It can't...

It can't be normal.

I can't be normal.

[sighs] I know I'm not making

any sense right now, but...

I just...

I don't think I'm safe.

Joe...

You're safe.

You know, you just

need change.

You got cabin fever,

that's all. You're...

cooped up here all day

by yourself.

And... I know.

I get a little stir crazy

when I don't have

enough structure.

Maybe...

you could try and get your

old job back with Stan.

With Stan?

Yeah.

With Stan, after the way I left?

I...

I f***ing hated Stan.

Okay.

It's just a suggestion.

Forget I mentioned it.

Listen...

I actually need to

go lie down.

My back is killing me.

We'll be okay.

I promise.

Everything will be better

when the baby comes.

[oil sizzling]

[machinery whirring]

Bye, baby Bunting

Daddy's gone a-hunting

To get a little rabbit skin

To wrap the baby Bunting in

Bye, baby Bunting

Daddy's gone a-hunting

To get a little lamb skin

To wrap the baby Bunting in

Bye, baby Bunting

Daddy's gone a-hunting

To get a little rabbit skin

To wrap the baby Bunting in

[machinery whirring]

[man speaks indistinctly

over video]

Let's face it.

We don't really mourn

the dead we cannot see.

And of those we do see,

we only mourn the dead

who look like us,

who could be us.

Skeletal concentration camp

corpses...

That could be us.

Office workers jumping

to their deaths

from crumbling Twin Towers...

That could definitely be us.

So our empathy and compassion

are stirred.

But what of those dead

we never see?

What of the ones

killed by our own hands

at a safe distance

with the press of a button?

The fire bombing of

the cities of Japan.

The civilians killed by

drone strike in Iraq,

Pakistan, Afghanistan.

Fudge numbers.

Hidden coffins.

Censored photos.

Denials.

Distractions.

Disinterest.

Is it true?

Do our lives really

matter more?

[gunfire on video]

Can we get away with

anything we want?

[answering machine beeps]

- [man speaking Spanish]

- [beep]

Hello, this is

Detective Mike Brayu

calling from Hawaii County

Police Department.

We're following up with all

guests of the Onayo Bay Resorts

in Kailua-Kona

on October 15th.

And I'm trying to reach

Joseph and Joanne Burns.

If you could please

give me a call at 8085...

[disconnects message]

[grunts]

- You fall asleep?

- I guess, for a bit.

What's your costume?

Horny nurse?

[laughs devilishly]

Ugh! It's so lame

that I'm going to

an MCAT study group

on Halloween.

It's fine. You obviously...

haven't missed any

big party here.

Well, at least you'll get to see

all the cute trick-or-treaters.

Oh, sh*t.

I forgot to get candy.

Mm. Well...

You should go for a walk. Check out

the costumes and the decorations.

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. I'm gonna go.

- Okay.

- Mwah. I love you.

- Love you.

- I promise I won't be late.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[urinating]

[flushing toilet]

[ominous music playing]

Yo. You need some

party accessories?

Party accessories?

I got E, I got shrooms.

How much for shrooms?

It's $10 for one gram,

$20 for two.

Let me guess. $30 for

three and $40 for four.

I'll take two.

[sirens wailing in distance]

Enjoy the victory!

[boy laughing]

Enjoy the shrooms, bro.

They might be portobellos.

[speaking indistinctly]

[somber music playing]

[haunting music playing]

[man mumbling incoherently]

[continues mumbling]

[music turns sinister]

[man continues mumbling]

[traffic whooshing]

[man gasping and choking]

Joe?

[somber music playing]

[Kendra laughs]

I'm sorry I haven't really been around

since we had dinner the other week.

It's okay.

- That was fun though, right?

- Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Mia's like a little person.

She's like a full

human being.

Yeah. And she also kind of

looks like a mini Andy.

I will not tell her

you said that.

[both laugh]

Speaking of...

how is Joe doing?

He seemed a little...

off.

He's... He's fine.

How's the job search going?

Good.

He had an interview...

But he's still looking.

Kind of feels like he's been

looking for a long time.

Andy just kind of felt like he was

getting a weird vibe from him.

Like a dark cloud...

or something.

Well...

that is probably because

it's a really stressful time.

Yeah.

Joe doesn't talk about it,

but I think he's really

freaked out about this baby.

- Sure.

- I mean, as am I.

Of course. It's not like

we really planned

for this.

[sighs] Anyway, yeah.

He did reach out to me

the other day,

and I...

I wasn't very helpful.

I'd had a really crappy day

and I was super irritable.

And not to be

totally gross,

but I have not

taken a sh*t

in like three days.

You're pregnant!

You're pregnant.

He should be taking

care of you.

I know. I know.

But I still wanna

support him, you know.

He's had a rough

couple of years.

And it's not easy to just

keep putting so much energy

into something that

you're passionate about

that you don't get any

money or recognition for

in return, you know?

Yeah, I know.

But also,

welcome to adulthood.

I'm sorry, Joe.

I just wanna make sure that he

is stepping up to the plate

and taking care

of you.

I know. I know.

But you have to remember that
