You can tell that?

I hope so by now.

You're 35?

I just turned 34.

Hmm. Came on them all?

I've been on my feet

all night.

- This feels...

- Pretty good, right?

Spectacular.

So now you want me

to tell you

what happens next

for you, don't you?

You can see that

from my feet?

That would be a very

creative diagnosis.

Fate left you a footstep.

You made the unusual choice

to pick it up.

That's good, Alex.

But now,

you need to let it take you

wherever it takes you.

But I thought it was

supposed to take me here.

You know a person called

the Master of the Winds?

Master of the Winds?

The Master

has a biker bonfire

every Saturday on the beach

outside Amagansett.

Maybe you should go.

How will going there

help me, Rock?

The way this has been

worn down,

it belongs to a biker, Alex.

Hey.

Tall dark strange guy.

How you been?

Good night?

[man] It's been okay.

Feels like it's been

a year since earlier.

Yeah.

[Alex] I think I walked

ten miles tonight.

You go this way now.

You wanna come?

Nah.

These bikers, are they...

dangerous?

[instrumental music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

You ride?

Yeah.

Yeah, I ride...

bikes.

I'm supposed to meet

somebody here, but...

I'm in the wrong place.

I'm sorry.

[woman] Perhaps

I can help you.

Oh, I don't think so.

Hey.

Are you the Master

of the Winds?

You can call me Anais.

[chuckles]

Wait.

Were you the one that was honking

at us on the road before?

No.

No.

Yeah, that was me.

So where was it you were

so eager to get to, Alex?

It must have been

very important.

It wasn't.

So many of us

race our whole life

to nothing.

Where we all end up,

there's no peace to see.

You've been on a journey

tonight, yes?

Right.

Did you find

what you're looking for?

Can't say I did.

But the journey

is still a journey.

Here, voila!

Did you ever see The Last

Streetcar in Marseilles?

I don't think so.

That was our favorite musical.

My dad's and mine.

It's got Catherine Deneuve.

It's about streetcar operator.

Okay, I know that film.

I always wondered

why the world wasn't...

filled with all that music.

Hmm.

What?

[softly] Listen.

[birds chirping]

[waves crashing]

["I Melt With You" playing]

Moving forward

Using all my breath

Makin' love to you

Was never second best

I saw the world crashing

All around your face

Never really knowing

It was always

Mesh and lace

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

You've seen the difference

And it's getting better

All the time

There's nothing

You and I won't do

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

Dream of better lives

The kind which never hate

Dropped in the state

Of imaginary grace

I made a pilgrimage

To save this human race

Never comprehending

The race had long gone by

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

You've seen the difference

And it's getting better

All the time

There's nothing

You and I won't do

So how often do you come

out here, Alex?

[Alex] I'm not sure yet.

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

The future's open wide

Hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm

Let's stop the world

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

Let's stop the world

You've seen the difference

And it's getting better

All the time

There's nothing

You and I won't do

Let's stop the world

I'll stop the world

And melt with you

Let's stop the world

The future's open wide

Mm-hmm.

Not well.

Sorry, I just think

it's... weird.

Yeah?

That you would just let...

Oh, my God.

["How To Lose It All" playing]

How many buildings

Can I burn down?

Picking through the ashes

Is all I know now

It's just like me

To let a good thing go

I'm a wrecking machine

All on my own

You're a pretty

Little picture

In a perfect frame

You put your cards

On the table

No fear, no shame

Baby we've already

Gone way too far

Oh, don't look now

I'm gonna break your heart

Oh, stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Don't know 'bout flying

Only know how to fall

When it comes to love

The writing's on the wall

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Oh, believe it or not

I was once like you

Now I'm a brick wall

That you can't break through

No, there ain't no cure

For the way I am

That makes it so hard

To even give a damn

Oh, stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Don't know 'bout flying

Only know how to fall

When it comes to love

The writing's on the wall

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

How to lose it all

If you think love is easy

Then I'm not

The one who's crazy

If you're at the top

All you've got

Is gonna be gone, gone

Oh, stick with me

Babe, you gotta

Stick with me

Why don't you

Stick with me?

Baby, won't you

Stick with me?

Hey, yeah, yeah

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Don't know 'bout flying

Only know how to fall

When it comes to love

The writing's on the wall

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

Don't know 'bout flying

Only know how to fall

When it comes to love

The writing's on the wall

Stick with me

I'll teach you

How to lose it all

[banjo music playing]

[man singing]

I would give you

Everything I own

Just to have you

By my side

My friends all tell me

Find another girl

But you're

The only one for me

[woman singing]

I would follow you

All around the world

I would sail

A thousand seas

No other man could

Ever make me stay

You're the only one for me

[both singing]

I would give you

Everything I own

Just to have you

By my side

My friends all tell me

Find another one

But you're

The only one for me

[slow music playing]

It must be so hard

Thinkin' the world

Is laughing at you

It must be so hard

It must be so tough

Does anyone see

The weight that's on you?

It must be so tough

So you try not to cry

Even though

You're gonna break

You know without a doubt

There's just less rice

On your plate

I remember a time
