The Leftovers

Smile.

I'm just looking for a sense.

And what kind of a sense are you looking for?

- A sense of when. - When what?

- You know what. - Oh, you mean the wedding?

I'm just looking for a season, honey, because if it's spring, then...

Mom, we're figuring it out.

Fine, fine. I withdraw.

Here you go, ladies.

Oh, I'm so sorry, but I ordered this without the walnuts.

- Oh, of course. - Thank you.

- Let me take care of that. - Thank you.

- I did say no walnuts? - You sure did, yeah.

Let me pay for the wedding.

You are relentless.

- Look who's talking. - I'm not relentless.

Megan, you're the most relentless person I've ever known.

When you have a cause, there's no stopping you.

I can't let you pay.

Why not? I treat you all the time.

- I treated you to those boots. - What boots?

Those boots that you saw at Bergdorf's.

I didn't have my wallet and I said I would pay you back.

Well, that was March. This is October.

Megan, no. Forget it. Please, no.

Do you remember how much they were?

- Megan, forget it. - I think it was 400.

No, honey, I don't want your money.

- I insist. - Fine, fine.

What's today? October what?

The 13th.

But 13 is unlucky. Date it tomorrow.

October 14.

Thank you for the loan.

So once I deposit this, you'll let me pay for the wedding?

Oh, I just thought of something that I have to tell you.

I really have to pee. Is it gonna take a while?

A minute or two.

Fine. Go, go, go.

- But don't let me forget. - I'll be right back.

And ladies don't say pee.

That's better.

Hey, now that is some pretty nifty singing.

Give yourselves a hand.

All right.

Hey, folks, thanks for coming out to visit us.

Please forgive us as we're a little rough around the edges right now.

We've only been up and running for a couple of months.

On your left as you get off,

there'll be golf carts and audio tours.

And please make sure we see those wristbands at all times.

Now, the park closes at sundown.

So if you ain't on that last bus,

we're gonna come hunt you down.

Welcome to Miracle. Come on!

We're not doing the audio tour.

Oh, hell, yes, we are.

It's pretty common for folks to get confused

about where you've come to visit today, so let's clear it up.

The moment you cross the bridge, you enter the town of Jarden.

Miracle is the national park that surrounds and protects that town

from those who would corrupt its exceptional properties.

Historic site number seven.

Some say the earthquakes that occur in Jarden

are a result of man-made fracking

and wastewater disposal in nearby towns.

But this crack in the street wasn't caused by a quake.

It was the result of a gas explosion in the sewage system

on October the 14 that sent manhole covers

flying a few blocks over.

Instead of repairing the damage,

the town has left it as a reminder.

_

Historic site number 13.

This is Cecilia's place.

It turns out that the gown she tried on that afternoon

wasn't even her cup of tea.

Then when she heard what happened around the world on October the 14,

she bought it immediately.

And to this day, Cecilia still wears that dress

for a few hours just in case.

Y'all want a picture?

Oh, we're good.

Thank you.

Let's go. Let's go.

Nice dress.

There's no number. Why are you stopping?

There's a man in there who can help me.

Jesus, Meg.

Another psychic?

I've heard amazing things about him.

This is why we took a road trip to Texas, this guy?

He's only been doing readings for a few weeks

and they say that he's the real deal.

I want you to find what you're looking for, I do.

How's this guy gonna be any different from any of the others?

Because this place is different.

It's special.

And he's from here.

So...

she died the day before the Departure?

Uh-huh.

Oh.

Honey, I'm really sorry.

It was two years ago. I'm okay.

People say I'm lucky.

How's that?

That I know what happened to her,

where she went.

Wow.

You lose your mama

and the very next day nobody gives a shit about her or you

because they think the world is ending.

Lucky.

Please, have a seat.

Make yourself comfortable, please.

You need my handprint?

No, that is for people who want to know their future.

You don't want to do that.

I brought one of her sweaters.

Chilly?

No, I... I just...

I mean, the others

wanted something that belonged to her.

Well, Miss Abbott,

I don't need anything from her.

But...

I need something from you.

Just chew that.

It's safe. Don't swallow it.

Here, just spit it here.

In your hand?

Yeah, in my hand.

Mm...

What do you want to know?

You can just ask her?

You can ask me.

What do you want to know?

She was gonna tell me something

just before I got up from the table to go to the bathroom.

I want to know what it was,

what she was gonna tell me.

You know,

people on their deathbeds,

they have a chance to put their last words together,

make them count.

Say something profound, poetic.

But usually when folk don't know that they're about to die,

they... well,

no disrespect to your mother or anything, Miss Abbott,

they say a lot of stupid shit.

What do you mean?

I can tell you what you want,

but I've been doing this long enough to know that

no matter what I say,

you're gonna be disappointed

because it's not gonna fix what's broke inside.

Bullshit.

Sorry?

You don't know.

You're not fucking real.

I'm gonna be disappointed

because whatever it is that you're about to tell me

- is fucking bullshit. - Walnuts.

What?

Your mother sent her salad back

because she asked for no walnuts.

She was very polite about it, though.

Are you sure you want to know?

Tell me.

Well?

He wasn't the real deal.

All right, folks, five minutes.

We've got five minutes till the first bus gets here.

Want a baby carrot?

What?

You can't cry while you eat them. It's impossible.

Thanks.

Folks, please make sure your vendor number

is clear and visible at your stalls.

Is it working?

Shit.

I would tell you a joke, but I don't know any.

All right, folks, two minutes.

We have two minutes till the first bus.

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

Broken pencil.

Broken pencil who?

Never mind. It's pointless.

I'm Evie.

Meg.

I'm sorry you didn't find whatever you were looking for here.

No one ever does.

Who was that?

She gave me some carrots.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go ahead forward, folks.

We'll be leaving in two minutes.

Two minutes.
