You are one to run

into my arms

What are you doing?

And I swear

I'll keep you warm

Please stop singing.

Touch my chest

It's racing, speeding

Tossing with the feeling

That it's found

Could you stop singing?

What it's long

Been searching for

Okay, please just stop.

Just stop.

[yelps]

Arrived at another spot

Ow!

Ow! Ow!

[singing continues]

Would you stop?

I just hurt myself.

Oh, the dark

Oh, my God, you're insane.

[yelling]

Come back up, Just Alex.

[panting]

[cat mewing]

Shirley, I just wanna go.

I wanna get

my pants back and go.

Okay?

- Boo-boo!

- [yelps]

[panting]

[autoharp music playing]

We are all

Just out and searching

Oh, God!

Over the horizon

Past the sun

Are you serious?

To find the other one

We drifted to

Each other's shore

But we're not sure

Jesus!

And so we run

When we shouldn't run

[chuckles]

And I have another spot

Jesus Christ!

A brightness

In all the dark

[door slams]

[Alex] Hey!

Wait! Hey, wait!

Hey.

Hi.

[panting]

You okay?

No, I'm not.

Wait.

Where's my car?

[shouts] Oh, you gotta

be kidding me!

Somebody stole it? How?

The thing wouldn't

even start!

[laughs]

What's funny?

It's pretty hard to steal

a car if it can't start.

Do you have a sticker?

A sticker?

Yeah, you have to have a local sticker

to park here, man, or they tow it.

You're kidding me!

Nah, I'm not kidding.

And they're really vigilant

about it too, man.

And they tow it far,

like to Noyack.

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

Look, uh...

Okay, look.

Is there any way you could

possibly give me a lift there?

To Noyack?

Uh, I wish I could, man,

but I gotta go to this party,

I'm in the band.

I could drive you to your house

if you want, if you live nearby,

Yes!

No!

Sh*t! My phone

just died. Uh...

Look, you're not

gonna believe this.

I stay at a friend's,

and I don't know the address.

Wow, man.

All right. All right.

How about this?

Come to the party.

I'll drive you to Noyack

in between sets.

Great! Great. Thank you.

Name is Kale, by the way.

- Kale?

- Yeah.

Like the vegetable?

Yeah.

Got a problem with that?

No.

[tribal music playing]

[children laughing]

Okay, so, I have

to set up for the show,

but let loose,

and be a child again.

Oh, no, thank you.

[woman] You're blowin',

I'm blowin'.

All God's children

are blowin' out here today.

[laughs]

Ahoy there, sailor!

Excuse me?

Ahoy there!

[giggling]

Ahoy.

Oh, why don't you come on in

and drop your anchor?

- [all laugh]

- No, thanks.

[all groaning]

[woman] Helluva party.

You don't know

what you're missing.

[slow rock music playing]

All alone

In the doorway

Every step feels wrong

But still

You must choose

As the ground

Crumbles around you

Waiting at the station

Watch the trains

As they come passing through

But each one leaves

Without you

Gabriel

Your heart beats fine

Gabriel

Your heart beats fine

They can take away yellow

All you see

Are red and blue

As the whole world

Turns away from you

But still

You find the roses

Show them

All that you can do

Is what they left

To lose

Oh, oh

Gabriel

Your heart beats fine...

You got a couple

of hours to kill.

You wouldn't want to drive

after you drink what's in that.

Oh, wow, that's...

Thanks for the warning.

That's all I need tonight.

On the other hand,

I'm not driving.

Charles.

Hi. Alex.

Where do you come from, Alex?

Oh, I'm with the band.

Ah.

My car got towed, so they're

giving me a lift out to Noyack.

Hmm. The lot closes

at 5:
30 in the off-season.

- At 5:
30?

- Yes.

You come from the city.

Yeah.

[chuckles] I had

a store in the city.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yes.

Tender Buttons.

Excuse me?

My store.

Tender Buttons.

I sold buttons.

Vintage.

Wow. That's neat.

Mm-hmm.

Then I sold my store,

and I left the city.

Yeah.

[softly] Sh*t, come on.

Ah.

You need juice.

Well, I got it.

Wow.

[chuckles]

Juice fest.

Kickstarter.

Clamp on.

- No, I...

- Clamp on, Alex.

Okay.

Ah.

[clears throat]

Do you wanna hold it?

No, it's all right.

[audience applauding]

Alex?

Mm-hmm?

I have a mate.

Where from, I know not.

But I still remember her.

I've forgotten

all custumal exercises.

And it did go so heavily

with my disposition...

- [phone beeps]

- Oh. Oh. Awesome.

Oh, thank God.

Oh, that's it.

Just got to call her, man. If I

can just get her e-mail address,

find that,

I can get back home.

After that, when...

No.

It's not in Trash.

No!

No! That...

It doesn't make

any sense. Where...

What you need, Alex,

is to find the bonfire

of the bikers

outside of Amagansett,

through the dunes,

and ask for

the Master of the Winds.

She can help you, Alex.

I don't need

a Master of the Winds.

I just need to know

where Lisa Leonard lives.

Oh, you want to find

Lisa Leonard.

Yeah. Wait.

Do you know her?

Blonde?

Thirties?

Gnomes?

Yes! Yes!

No, I don't know her.

But Elspeth does.

Really? Great.

Where's Elspeth?

She's at a gathering

on Shelter Island.

Sh*t.

Well, go and find her, Alex.

15 Dickinson Drive,

Shelter Island.

Hey, man.

Ready to take you to Noyack

unless you're busy.

Oh. He said that

the lot closes at 5:30.

That's true.

Props, Charles.

Back at you.

You guys know each other?

Yeah.

Look.

Is there any way possible you can

give me a lift to Shelter Island?

Yeah, I could do that.

Oh, good. Awesome.

Ouch!

[groans]

What?

You detached so abruptly.

So without ceremony

of any kind.

I...

I apologize.

It's all right.

Youth.

You enjoyed the show?

Yeah. Yeah, man. You were...

You were incredible.

You're like a god.

[exclaims]

I can't catch them.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Just look at these glowy things

flying around my face.

Kale?

Yeah?

Did you have the punch?

- [brakes screeching]

- [grunts]

Ow! F***!

[whispers] It's a fairy.

It's a fairy.

It's not a fairy.

The punch was spiked.

It's a group of fairies.

They're meeting

about something.

No. They're not meeting.

- Kale...

- No, it's what they're doing.

Kale, no. What are you doing?

Kale? Kale, get back on the...

What are you doing?

No, Kale. Stop!

Stop! Stop the car. Stop!

Kale, stop!

Just stop, please, stop!

Shh.

Keep your voice down,

or we won't be able to hear

the fairies' secrets.

Okay.

You're hallucinating.

So...

you're just gonna

give me the keys.

Ow! Ow! What the...

You're a muggle.

A muggle?

Like a Harry Potter muggle?

Hey.

Kale.

Kale, get back

in the car! Kale!

Kale?

Kale, get back in the car.

Kale, where are you going?

Kale, give me the keys.

Give me the keys, Kale.

Kale, no! Kale!

Wonderful.

[Kale whistling]

Kale?

[Kale whispering]

Come here. It's okay.

Shh. I'm friendly.

Kale?

Come here.

[Kale whistling]

Okay, then.

[leaves rustling]

I go this way now.

Okay.

You wanna come?

No.

[instrumental music playing]

[dogs barking]

[bells chiming]

That's a great

painting of you.

It's not me.

[laughs] Right.

Right what?

Okay.

Um, could I use your phone?

Sorry. It's a business line.
