Happiness for Beginners

Goals for my hiking trip.

Find a deeper connection to nature.

Rise up from my own ashes like a freaking phoenix.

Earn a damned certificate.

Hey! Happy what would be our sixth wedding anniversary.

I miss you.

Perfect, got it, thank you.

- You, okay? - Yeah.

- Fine. - Good.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Oh. Thank you.

Congratulations, Helen.

Right now, just kinda do this, actually.

Hey, sis. Good thing you locked him down.

Will you give him a break? It's his wedding day.

Also, give me a break. It's my wedding day.

Ah, y-you know, I can't do that,

'cause, like, I don't think he's right for you at all,

and neither does Jake so...

- What? - Who?

Who? Jake, my best friend since the eighth grade.

- A-Are you having a stroke? - No.

Just, my back was turned. I didn't see him. Hi, Jake, how are you?

I'm good, yeah, good. Y-You look... great.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, Duncan, I appreciate what you're doing,

this whole brother, sister protective thing,

but it's not necessary, okay?

Mike and I have been together for a long time.

We're married now, okay?

Today we are married and we're gonna be fine,

and I'm gonna be fine.

So, thank you, but I do have a tad more life experience than you do.

Okay, well, we're not that much younger than you, Helen.

We have enough life experience to know when we're making a huge...

- Not again. All right. - Man down!

- Wow! That was... What a move. - Hey.

- You okay? - You okay?

- I'll help you up. - Thanks.

It was mistake, that was the word.

That was it.

Duncan? Duncan!

Has anyone seen the host of this party?

He went down to the river with a girl.

What girl?

What river?

Helen, hey!

- Hey, how are you? - Hey, have you seen Duncan?

I have to give him my keys. He's house sitting for me this weekend.

What about... What about Duncan?

Have you seen him? What? Have you seen Duncan?

He's house sitting and I have to give him my keys.

I'm sorry, I can't hear a word you're saying.

'Cause the music's too loud. Who plays music this loud?

Right, okay. Uh, do you want to go outside?

Fine, yeah. I'll be able to hear you outside.

I didn't expect to see you.

Yeah, I had to drop off my keys with my idiot brother.

Oh, he walked down to the river about 30 minutes ago with his girlfriend.

Girlfriend?

Uh, her name's Molly. She's really nice, you'd like her.

- Ugh, Mike. - You still talking to him?

He calls me a lot.

I think he forgets we're divorced.

Okay, uh...

Hey, why don't you stay for a drink?

Oh, no, I'm leaving town tomorrow.

Come on. It's... It's early.

- No, I wanna go home and pack. - Yeah.

You know, I remember you used to be so much fun.

Excuse me? What does that mean? I'm still fun.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I'm so much fun, you wouldn't even be able to comprehend it.

Anyway, will you, um, give my keys to Duncan?

He's supposed to house sit for me while I'm gone.

Although, who knows if he even remembers.

He will. He'll take care of it.

Just like how he took care of Pickles?

Well, that was not his fault.

He ran over Pickles with his car. Was that Pickles's fault?

That dog lived for, like, ten more years after that.

- That's not the point. - It's good to see you, Helen.

Good to see you.

But you might want to tell that best friend of yours that he sucks.

I sure won't.

- Hey oh. - Hey, did Jake give you my keys?

Oh, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry about last night. Coffee?

Oh, great.

- Two sugars, no cream. - Thank you.

Yeah, I... I'm not taking sugar right now, but thank you.

Oh, are you not? You're not taking sugar right now?

I'm trying to cut down on sugar.

You ready to get into the great wide open, paint with all the colors of the wind?

You know, if you see a bear, I've seen all these bear documentaries.

You can go up and rub their tummies. They love that.

Great, I will file that away.

Um, please don't burn down my house while I'm gone.

And don't touch the succulents. They don't need watering.

Those look very crusty. They're always dry.

This is a list of items I'd like you to take care of.

Just follow the list. Everything you need is on there.

Okay, this is... This is like a serial killer.

You laminated it. You have a lamination machine?

Please don't do anything stupid.

You ever think you're gonna stop giving me a hard time?

Do something right, and I will stop giving you a hard time. Okay?

Oh, that's... That's it. That's the key.

- It's time to grow up. You're 35. - Figured it out.

You know, I do things right. I'm an adult. I'm a grown man.

- Yeah. - Uh-huh.

Technically.

You're gonna have, like, the most amazing time of your life.

You're gonna get all the badges, make lots of friends.

- This is an adult camping trip. - Yes.

It's not camp.

Yes, archery badge.

- No archery, no. - Okay. Have fun.

- Thanks, Duncan. - Gonna be fine.

Thank you.

- I'm responsible. Or something. - Yeah, I...

- Bye. - Bye!

Say hello to Grandma Gigi for me!

Gigi, are you here?

I'm at book club, back soon.

Oh.

I guess it's dinner for one.

Yay! Bravo! Mwah.

Sweetheart, I'm so happy you are here.

I'm so happy to be here.

You look so lovely, Gigi.

You can't stop trying even when you want to, right?

- Let's look for space junk. - Okay.

You know I can never find space junk.

Well, you gotta look closer, at the big picture.

No. No. That's why they call it the big picture.

You're not supposed to look too closely at it.

- How do you feel? - Hm.

Same.

No. You're here, so you're better.

That's true.

Everything is done?

Yep. Everything is signed, sealed and delivered.

And I haven't seen him in over a year, but

now that it's official, I feel sad all over again.

- You know what I mean? - Hm.

Actually, I don't.

Your grandfather died. He didn't give me the option of divorce, the jerk.

But you're still gonna

go on this crazy hike?

You're not worried?

No. Why would I be worried?

I've never gone camping in my life.

Last time you and I tried to make s'mores I nearly burned down the house.

What's to worry about?

I forgot about that.

I miss you, Nate.

- Hi, Mike. - Helen, hi.

Sorry to bug you. Listen, could I come over?

Mike, I'm not at... I'm not at home.

I have a seatbelt, I'm in a car. I'm going on a hiking trip.

Hiking? Really? Like backpacking?

Yeah.

Cool, that sounds fun.

Listen, now that we're finally divorced,

I realize th-th-that we got married, but I wasn't married.

- I wasn't in the marriage, you know? - Yeah. I... I... Uh, yes, I know that.

And-and I feel like now, I know how to be married.

Hey Mike, I'm gonna go, okay?

I gotta get off the phone. I'll call you when I'm back from my trip, okay?

- So I'll talk to you when you get back. - Bye, Mike.

Okay, be care...

I do not have a hair dryer in this room.

Oh, that's in, um, room number 16. You want that one?

I don't want a different room, I just want a hair dryer.

It's attached to the wall, so you can't take it off.

Hi. Are you going on this hike with BSC?

Thank God! Another old person!

I thought I was the only one!

It's a bunch of disgusting young people

with young bodies and young minds. Ugh.
