- You sure you know what you're doing?

No, I don't. But I think that's the point.

I would rather do nothing and be happy

than do something that I don't love.

Well, I lost her at happy.

I don't know what the hell

she was trying to say anyway.

Well done, Chonger. The job is yours.

Thank you.

So! Jack made a piece of furniture.

He finished it.

Okay. Go ahead, Dad.

What's wrong with it?

Nothing. It's good.

It's really good. I'm proud of you.

- Thank you.

- But...

Here we go.

...you royally screwed up

when it comes to that girl.

It was a big, stupid mistake. Okay?

The entire marriage was a lie!

The marriage might have been a mistake,

but it was not a lie.

And I think that anybody

who has spent time with you two recently

could tell you that.

So why don't you get your head

out of your ass

and go do something about it?

Or should I tell you not to,

and then maybe you will?

- She's gone, man.

- Gone? What do you mean, gone?

She, like, lost it. She quit her job,

shut off her phone. She took off.

Look, I don't really care much for you,

and I want to cut your friend Hater.

Seriously.

But for some reason,

you're, like, the only man

that Joy can actually be herself with,

so I wanna tell you where she is,

I really do. I just don't know.

- What do you know?

- I don't know. If you were miserable

and you wanted to get happy again,

where would you go?

What?

Thank you.

Okay, tell you what. We both go.

That way, when she sees us both,

she can make up her mind

on who she wants to be with.

I've loaned you my band saw,

I've loaned you my beer tap.

Do you even know

how to drive an automatic?

The keys. Give me the keys.

Here. Sorry.

Go get your future ex-ex-wife.

What a waste of time

The thought crossed my mind

But I never missed a beat

Can't explain the who or what I was

Trying to believe

What would you do?

What would you do?

Do you know?

I once had a grip on everything

It feels better to let go

I'm not over

I'm not over you just yet

Cannot hide it

You're not that easy to forget

I'm not over

I'm not over

You found me.

You left this behind,

and I wanted to bring it back to you.

Do you know how many lighthouses

there are 30 miles east of the city?

- How many?

- Five.

- Really?

- Yeah, just in case you're wondering.

So.

Did you come all the way out here

just to give this back to me?

I did. So I'm going to get out of here.

All right. Here it is.

When we were married, I was horrible.

Sick. Just wrong.

And it's the best time I've ever had.

You bet on me, Joy,

and you made me want to bet on myself.

So don't think about anyone else

and just answer this for you.

Do you want to be married to me?

Again?

You know,

for so long, I've just...

I've tried to please everybody.

And by not trying to please you,

I think I became myself again.

I do

want to be married to you again.

I quit my job.

I heard.

I have absolutely no idea

what I'm going to do. No clue.

Well, it's a good thing that I have...

That we have a ton of money.

Oh, my God!

That's right. We hit the jackpot.

Yeah, I did.

Now, Joy, do you take this young man

to be your lawfully wedded husband,

in sickness and in health...

Uh-huh.

...for richer or for poorer...

I do. I take him.

Naughty! Naughty!

Jack, would you put the ring

upon her finger?

- Was that the one?

- That was it! Oh, my God!

You may kiss the bride.

This is the greatest day of my life!

- This is the greatest day of my...

- What? What?

Oh, my...

This is marvelous, simply marvelous.

- Bye! Thank you!

- Bye-bye.

Have fun, you guys!

It's so much fun in there!

You guys are gonna love it!

- Woman!

- Holy sh*t.

- Woman!

- I'm coming!

Hey!

PLAYING)

No one here likes you

Go away get a clue

Go back to your... zoo

And now we're standing face to face

Isn't this world a crazy place

Why?

You know why!

You know why!

No one here likes you

Go away, get a clue

Go back to your... zoo

or whatever it is you do

I don't know why

I don't like what's in your eyes

And I'd love to split them wide

I could pretend

Can't you understand

I hate you my friend

some call it an obsession

And some call it a good hate

And I'll just call it pathetic

But some totally relate

I'd rather go to hell

than shake your hand or wish you well

In case you couldn't tell

Go ahead, boy, drink your drink

Go ahead, boy, do your thing

Can you learn the words

to every song I sing

I could pretend

Can't you understand

I hate you my friend

some call it an obsession

And some call it a good hate

And I'll just call it pathetic

But some totally relate

No one here likes you

Go away, get a clue

Go back to your... zoo

or whatever it is you do

I could pretend

Can't you understand

I hate you my friend

I hate you my friend

I hate you my friend

What are you doing later? You know,

there's a meteor shower tonight.

You know what?

Jack was our glue.

I feel like the fact that he's gone

makes us a little closer.

No, it makes us a little bit just...

The opposite of that.

You like

to party?
