The Eve

- Five, four, three, two, one, Happy New Year!

("Auld Lang Syne" by Robert Burns)

He's a vampire.

And I don't actually know what that means,

but maybe it symbolizes that he's on the dark side

and that she's pure and he doesn't want to cross over.

But it makes sense for the that.

- Isn't this the New Year's song?

Yeah, Auld Lang Syne.

- They play it both at New Year's and funerals.

Which is weird.

You are such a geek.

- At least New Year's gets a song.

I mean you don't hear many people

singing about Thanksgiving or Easter.

- Thanksgiving has The Turkey song.

- Okay, so Christmas gets a thousand songs.

Hanukkah gets a few.

Thanksgiving gets one funny song.

And New Year's shares a weird and depressing song.

I don't think it's depressing.

This song is about saying goodbye to the past.

Well, moving on and having closure.

I think that's optimistic.

Optimistic?

Uh, we sing it every year.

I think it's more like we're just repeating it

over and over and then moving on.

- I think that you're looking way too deep into the song.

Sometimes it's just better to

enjoy something for what it is.

So, uh, Lacey?

How did it come about that you

joined our happy little group?

Harrison invited me and I...

I just figured it'd be something

different to do for New Year's.

- Have you ever been in - So he just

- the vineyard before? - invited you?

Yes and no.

- I thought it would be nice.

Okay, so take it easy on the

20 questions with my girlfriend?

Girlfriend?

Wow.

I just assumed...

I don't know.

Sure.

- Don't worry, it'll clear up.

The weather on the island fluctuates.

Hey, Scott?

What's up?

Can we talk for a sec?

Come on, man.

We don't need to mess with the flow of things, all right?

- This is not something I can just brush off.

- Okay, look, just chill, all right?

We'll pow-wow, but you gotta give me some time on this.

Man, there's nothing we can do.

Government offices are closed until the 2nd.

Everybody else is out celebrating --

- I don't care about everybody else celebrating.

It's pointless.

This thing fell through months ago.

And it'll take a while.

Just give me some more time.

- Hey, you better not be getting

any wine coolers, all right?

- What are you talking about?

I love tasties.

No comment.

You know what?

You never change.

I love being me.

Hey?

How do you feel about Harrison bringing this new girl?

I'm not saying that she's like not nice or anything,

I'm sure she is, but shouldn't he

have asked before bringing her?

He doesn't know any better.

- What's that supposed to mean?

It means he's distracted.

- Okay, but see, wasn't this trip supposed to

bring us all closer together?

We still got that.

I don't know.

I just don't know how we're supposed to

reconnect and get to know this girl at the same time.

It's just...

Okay, are we, um...

Jealous much?

Maybe just a smidge of jealousy?

Yeah, maybe.

I mean, you do know that Harry and I

had a thing after we broke up?

What are you talking about?

Psyche!

Ah, but who's jealous now?

You are!

Just watch me walk away, but don't get to close.

It's hot, it's hot to trot.

I'll bring this hot butt right into Harrison's room.

- It's pretty up here in the winter.

I imagine in the summer it gets really busy.

Yeah, it does, actually.

I'd love to see it.

- You should come back, for real.

I'd like that.

- I got some, uh, shrimp, swordfish, and lobsters.

Live lobsters?

- Yeah, yeah, I got this

method that puts them to sleep.

Really?

Because a pot of boiling water usually does the trick.

That's cruel.

You don't want to put them in the water awake.

At least this way they don't see it coming.

- Oh God, it's freezing out here!

This is nothing!

It's crazy cold, huh?

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

Wish I had the money for a place like this.

One day.

- Yeah, you gotta be smart for that.

And I'm dumb enough to go into business with friends.

- You went into business with Scott?

No.

Practically, though.

I mean, it was just one of those

"Trust me, I wouldn't let you down" things.

I'm an idiot.

You are not an idiot.

- I invested my life savings into a stupid development plan.

I'm an idiot.

And what happened to it?

Imminent domain?

I don't know.

Scott says the government can just take over

a lot and build whatever they want.

- They have to pay for it, right?

I don't know.

I looked it up and it's just this

legal jargon I don't understand.

- But they have to compensate you, don't you?

I mean, that doesn't seem fair.

Fair?

Life's not fair, c'est la vie.

Hey, people, come on!

- You're gonna (screams) --

Yeah, we're coming.

Talk to Scott.

Maybe it's not so bad.

He seems like a good guy.

Maybe the government has to pay you back or something.

I guess.

He's just dodging everything, I mean...

We came on this trip to bridge gaps, not make them.

I wanted you to meet these guys because

they were my best friends in college.

I mean, until Scott stole all my money.

- Well didn't he lose money, too?

Yeah.

Scott's got deep pockets.

He always finishes on top.

Dude.

We should polar bear.

Nah, man.

Yes, yes!

We should jump ass naked into the water.

You're nuts!

Dude, it's New Year's.

Tomorrow!

- We could wash away our sins to a clean slate.

I don't know, man.

Harry, you should do it.

- All right, all right, let's do this.

Let's do this, all right?

Lacey?

Uh-uh.

Jen?

Nope, no, not a chance.

Alrighty.

If you ladies don't mind holding our clothing.

Are you serious?

No.

Oh my gosh!

I can't believe you're doing this, oh my God.

Yeah!

This place is amazing.

Hey, you have neighbors?

Uh, sort of.

Nobody's there.

People usually just come out during the summer.

But there may be one or two locals.

Other than that, we're all alone.

Joey, hey.

Scott.

Guys, this is Joey.

He pretty much looks after the place
