The One I Love

So we met at a party, and it was magic.

Within a half hour,

we were driving up into this really nice neighborhood,

and we were running down the stairs

of some stranger's backyard,

and then we were swimming and we were in love.

What we didn't count on was that even though the lights were off,

the owner of the home was there,

and he came out screaming at us,

and it was the greatest night of my life.

Ready?

So my idea was, you know,

let's try and re-create that moment.

Oh, it's freezing!

It's a little colder than I remember it.

Do you think he's coming out?

I'm sure. I'm sure he heard us, right?

Hello? This is fun.

Yeah.

Where is he?

Maybe he's not home.

Happy anniversary anyway.

Happy anniversary.

When we were in the water and we were waiting

and no one came out, no one was home,

and we were just floating there,

I felt sad,

and I felt like our happiness used to be so easy

and there used to be so much of it,

and now I feel like happiness is something

that we have to re-create.

I'm sorry. I tried to make a romantic moment.

I'll never take you to a fucking pool again.

Oh, come on. Don't do that.

Okay.

This could be fun.

We're going to do a compatibility exercise.

I want you both to play a note at the same time, okay?

Just any note?

Yep. Knock yourself out.

Wow! You guys are not in sync, are you?

We used to be great.

We used to be really irreverent and...

Yeah. There was teasing...

Yeah. and stuff. Like I...

I mean no offense...

but I would call you a bitch and it was funny.

Yeah, it was hilarious.

I used to call you a bitch.

You thought it was really funny.

Yeah.

I just don't know how we're going to move forward

if we keep having this circular conversation

about me doing what I did

which I have apologized for already,

and we are here because we are trying to move on.

I don't see why we have to keep revisiting that

- because it's the same conversation - over and over again.

- Because you don't get - to decide that, Ethan.

You don't get to decide when we move on, I do.

So, you guys having sex?

Now if you'd played this one, Sophie...

...or that one... ...that's pretty, right?

But this... ...not so much.

Anyway, it's just an exercise.

I want to trust you again.

I want to forgive you.

I want... I want all of those things.

I want us and I want us to work.

I don't know why you feel like I don't want that.

Because we don't agree on how we're going to get there.

Where are you?

To-do-to-do-to-do.

Okay.

I have an idea.

This is a great place.

I think it will be very helpful.

It's absolutely beautiful.

It's about an hour and a half north from here.

It's like a... like a perfect retreat,

just the two of you.

Give you a chance to reset the reset button.

I've sent a lot of couples there,

and they've all come back renewed.

- What do you think? - I mean, I'll try anything.

Sophie?

Wow!

Hello?

And then when you pour the wine, you do this.

This is what they do in the restaurants.

Watch this.

Ooops, so it doesn't drip. Even though I kind of...

- It kind of dripped. - I don't think you did it right.

Cheers!

To me and my cooking.

There's a guest house on the property which is pretty cool.

- Really? - Yeah.

I don't even know if we're supposed to use it or if someone else is renting it.

Oh, God. What's happening.

Come here. Come here.

What's happening?

Whoa!

Yeah, yeah.

You've got to hold it.

Hold it in, hold it in.

There you go.

- Geez. - Wow, still got it.

Get the light going.

- Sweetie. - Sorry, sorry.

Give me kiss.

Aw, you're so cute without your glasses.

You shouldn't wear these. I like you without them.

Do you like me without the glasses?

Should I wear them?

Get over here!

You found me.

I found you.

Hey.

Hey there.

Hey, you know, you were right.

Really?

Do tell.

We need to try more new things

like weekends away in places like this.

You think so?

It makes me excited about us again.

Do you feel it?

- I do. - Yeah.

I love you.

I love you.

And here it comes.

- Aw. - Oh.

- Close! - The bounce. It's okay.

- Okay, wait. Your turn. - Okay.

- Oh, under. - Under. Okay.

Under and in.

Oh, shit!

Oh, you got it. All right!

Of course I got it.

Ready?

This is your grape.

Hi.

Come here, come here.

What?

Come here.

That was awesome!

I knew you could do it.

Do you want to sleep here tonight?

Can we?

Sure. We can do whatever we want.

Okay. Yep.

Let me just get some clothes.

I don't want to sleep in my jeans.

- Okay. - You want anything?

I'm good.

I love you, hon.

I'll be right here.

'Kay.

You're asleep.

Very funny.

You did it. You got your joke.

Ethan.

Ethan.

Stop it.

I laughed. It's over now.

Where'd you go? Where'd you go?

How did you get up here so fast?

Did you find a secret passageway?

Yeah, secret underground passage.

Wow.

So mysterious.

No, seriously. How did you get here so fast?

You beat me.

What?

How did you get here from the guest house before me?

You mean, before dinner?

I was just walking outside and I just walked over.

No, not before dinner, just now.

Why are you so sweaty?

Did you go for a run or something?

Oh, yeah.

Because... is that the joke that's happening now?

What?

The joke that you're not going to remember

that we just had sex, because that's really funny.

Wait!

We just had sex?

Okay. That's not funny.

I'm not trying to be funny.

I thought you were making a joke.

Why are you doing this right now?

I'm not doing anything.

I-I've...

You know what, Ethan?

You just had a really nice night and I don't know why you would ruin it.

I'm not trying to ruin our night.

I want to have a nice night.

Fine, we had sex. It was great.

You were amazing.

You're an asshole.
