The Killgrin

Sorry.

Sorry.

I got caught up downstairs.

There was a jumper on the boarding bridge.

I heard.

- I don't know what he was thinking.

Hardly high enough.

Mm.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I know you have your whole routine.

Stop apologizing.

It's fine.

- Oh, the shuttle isn't running, by the way.

That's OK.

I'll take the bus.

The bus?

It's only three transfers.

That's disgusting.

Bye.

See you.

Be safe!

Mm-hmm.

- You told me that emotional support animals

can stay in the cabin.

- Yes, they can, but they have to be able to fit in the crate.

- Yes, he does when he lies flat.

But he's not--

- I need you to get somebody, because I--

I'm not getting on the plane without him.

Oh, hey.

I thought you'd be out.

No, I took a nap.

I actually slept really well.

That's great.

Are you still seeing Dr. Chen today?

No, I don't think so.

I don't need to see him anymore.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I feel really good today.

I'm so happy to hear that.

Noah?

- Things have been a lot better the past few weeks.

I left Security, finally.

I'm in Parking Enforcement now, and it's been all right.

Only two people told me to go fuck myself today,

so I'll take what I can get.

To be honest, it's not that bad.

I like the constant moving around.

I like that I'm always doing things now.

I had too much time to just sit and think before.

It still comes back, though, and I can feel it when it's close.

I say to myself, here it comes.

It's in flashes and waves.

The last thing she said to me, the hours of searching deep

into the night, (CRYING) her jacket floating

at the bottom of the bridge.

I still struggle with it, but keeping busy

has made it a lot easier.

Thank you, Aaron.

That brings us to the end of our session today.

For those of you who have shared,

thank you for your trust and your honesty.

And for those who have yet to share, thank you for listening,

and thank you for being here.

- So I don't know why we're still here and not moving yet,

especially somewhere where we're doing group therapy.

Excuse me.

Uh, uh, excuse me.

I, uh, don't believe we've met.

Oh, it's my first time.

I-- I got time off work for bereavement.

Fuck, yeah!

That's great.

The-- the time off, I mean.

Not the bereavement, obviously.

I would kill for time off.

Well, not-- not, like, kill, kill.

I-- I'm Brian.

Miranda.

- So, uh, you didn't introduce yourself in there.

Why not?

- I guess I thought Sam would introduce me.

Like, point at you?

Put you on the spot?

Yeah.

In a support group?

- Yeah. - Nah.

I don't think he'd do that.

Well, I gotta--

Your eyes are green.

Oh, I'm nearsighted, so these details are usually

a mystery to me at first.

You looked like a blurry blob thing in there.

Why don't you wear glasses?

- Oh, I don't want to hide the moneymaker.

- So you really couldn't see me in there?

No.

Well, can you see me now?

Oh, yeah, I can see you.

How about now?

Yep.

How about now?

Uh, yeah, I can see you.

How about--

Uh, yeah, I can--

Uh-huh.

Very nice.

Very funny!

--still got control.

Spiritual healing is invaluable for your emotional health.

Modern solutions are far too predictable.

- Is this herbal? - Yeah.

- Because I can't-- - Can't do caffeine.

I know.

It's herbal.

So why the urgent phone call?

He's back.

Who?

Damien.

Oh, boy.

- When I came home this evening--

Hold on--

- There was a rose at the foot of my door.

- Stop. - It's him.

I know it's him.

That piece of shit found out where I live.

He knows I'm alone now.

I can't believe this is fucking happening again.

Fuck! - Miranda.

(SHARPLY) What?

Sorry.

You don't have to apologize.

He is a piece of shit.

I want him charged.

I can't really--

- I mean, he broke the restraining order.

A rose is not evidence.

- Can't you look into the footage on my building's

security cameras?

You told me that I could call you any time I had a problem--

I don't think I said any time.

Miranda, you have not heard from Damien in years.

But Noah--

- What happened to Noah was a tragedy.

And you owe it to yourself to use this time

to take care of you and to heal, to do more yoga

or whatever it is you're doing.

Group therapy?

Exactly.

Same thing.

- He gave me a rose on our first date.

Is there any way that you could please look

into the security cameras?

Or-- or maybe just find out if he's been in the area.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

- Now, can you try to take it easy?

Just relax, you know?

Watch some reality TV.

Turn your brain off for a while.

You've got to focus on you right now.

Don't worry.

I don't plan on dating for a long time.

- Well, that's-- that's not what I meant.

Miranda, there are good people in the world.

- I'm sorry that the guest room isn't set up yet.

No, this is great.

I mean, I can't believe you own a house now.

You're, like, living the dream.

- Yeah, a bungalow two hours from work

was definitely our first choice.

- Well, you know, it beats a roach-infested basement.

- Hey, we had some good times in that basement.

You know, you were the only roommate that stuck it out

with me for all four semesters.

Mm.

Well, the rich kids have no resilience.

You were the best roommate.

I had never seen a 100-pound girl chopping firewood before.

- Well, that's about all I could do.

I've missed you.

I missed you too.

Hey, I caught Tom before he left.

He-- he said you'd been a bit down lately.

Oh.

No, no.

It's it's-- just work stuff.

I'm-- I'm just tired.

Like, all the time.

It's fine, really.

Um, have you talked to your mom yet?

No.

She doesn't know anything.

- I figured since I didn't see, like, 20 in memoriam posts.

Mm.

I still can't believe she added you.
