The Four Seasons

Bye, Mr. B. Have a good break.

You too.

Let's go. We said 3:10.

Yeah, sorry. Two of my last-period kids get extra time.

Then they were trying to teach me this cool handshake.

Yeah, no, I just...

- I really wanna get there before dark. - Yeah.

Eight Munchkins? Vacation has officially started.

Text Danny and Claude.

Texting Danny and Claude.

What would you like to say?

Rolling. ETA, 4:31.

Please be ready. No bullshit.

Okay. You said, "Rolling. ETA, 4:31. Please be ready. No bullshit."

- Send it? - Send.

You have a response from Danny.

- Should I read it? - Yes.

Danny says, "You are not the fucking boss of me, Katherine."

"My husband and I will emerge only when the magic hour light is perfect."

Okay.

Ciao!

Ciao, Bella. Yes, thank you.

I'm so sorry, guys. I wanted to water the plants.

I couldn't find the thing, and then the dishwasher. Anyway...

- Hey. Hi, Claude. -

Take me in.

Really try to see that I'm worth waiting for.

Yes, stunning. Tens across the board.

Now get in the car!

- - Danny!

Tell me when you're buckled. Everybody buckled?

- I'm buckled. - Let's go!

- Buckled! - And she is on her way!

Text Nick and Anne.

Texting Nick and Anne. What would you like it to say?

We hit traffic leaving the city.

New ETA, 8:19.

- You might wanna go ahead and order food. - No, I'm cooking.

- Tonight? - Yeah.

I'm doing a low country boil. I bought everything. Crawfish, corn.

Crawfish? No, I think that word is pronounced "pizza."

Oh! Oh! We've got jokes. Drive, Katherine.

Twenty years I've been asking Nick and Anne to put a light on this road.

I'm always worried I'm gonna hit a deer or something.

This is right, though. Their driveway is right up here.

You have a message from Nick Pagano.

- Should I play it? - Sure.

Nick said, "Drive carefully near the lake. Lots of creatures in the road."

What?

Hey, put your brights on, honey.

- -

- Oh my God! - Crap!

Mamma mia.

Oh my God!

What is wrong with you?

You're just so late. We started drinking.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I love you. I love you all.

- Come on. Let's go. - I'm gonna kill you!

I peed a little.

- One of you is gonna die! - Oh, yeah.

Whoo!

Nick, I need you to go through these and pick out the dead ones.

You are shitting me.

Nope, not at all.

Hey, should I do a gazpacho to start?

- No, we're starving. - I'll kill you!

Hey, hey.

When is this dinner gonna be ready?

Danny just set a cornbread timer for 45 minutes.

No. No, I'm not gonna make it.

Between my hunger and Claude telling me about a dream he had two years ago...

- I mean, you know I love Claude. - Yeah, we all love Claude.

But you said you would be a little buffer.

Look, I will take him at dinner.

I mean, that's why I got him that really long Napoleon biography for his birthday,

so I always have something to talk to him about.

Very smart. That's why I love you.

- You're a smart person. - Thank you.

Hey.

What are we whispering about?

How drunk are you right now?

I'm at the good part where I think I'm at my funniest,

and you think I'm starting to get a little annoying.

Yes, thank you.

Yeah. Oh!

Oh, God!

Thanks.

- You knew I'd eat that. -

- Here we go! - Ta-da!

Here's your crawdaddies from New Orleans.

Come on, now. Look at that.

- Oh, do you mind if I sit next to Claude? - Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I'd love that. Thank you.

Okay.

So, uh, Claude, how far have you gotten in that Napoleon book?

Oh, well, he's just been born.

Wow, wow, wow.

Yes, get in there.

Now, remember, just pull the heads off first and suck.

That's perfect.

["Why You Wanna Hurt My Heart" by The Neville Brothers playing]

Mm.

The suck water is spicy.

- All right. -

Okay, I'd like to make a toast

to Nick and Anne on their 25th.

You guys are an inspiration.

You've built this beautiful life together, and I hope you know how lucky you are.

So many other people have split up or... Or hate each other,

or they've become those couples

where their whole personality is just making craft beer.

Ugh! Fuck. Fuck them.

Look, it is rare in this life to find your soulmate,

and yet somehow,

all six of us have done it.

To Nick and Anne.

- Cheers. - To Nick and Anne. Cheers.

- Thank you. - So nicely said, honey.

Even though soulmates aren't a real thing.

Wait, how can you say that?

Of course soulmates are real.

You really believe there is one person, for every person on Earth,

there's one person in the whole Earth that they're supposed to be with,

and then that person also happens to be in the same dorm at college?

So do you not love me?

I love you so much, but we're not lucky.

We're dedicated.

Romantic love fades.

- Jesus! - And then you build something deeper.

Who invited the incel?

Love is the point of everything. It defines us as human beings.

- Yeah. - Yes, but also dolphins feel it.

Help me say this right, because I know you agree with me.

Okay, here's what I know.

When you're young and in love, it's beyond your control.

You know, you can't help it.

You know, uh, think about all the people in our twenties that we were in love with

who did not deserve us.

But what we have now is a result of knowledge and experience.

You know, we have chosen each other.

When Danny says it, it sounds lovely.

Yeah.

But I also agree that we're all just animals

who like to rub our crotches on things.

Exactly!

Exactly?!

Hmm.

Like, this wouldn't work.

Hey, Kate.

Uh, could you give me a ride into town, please?

I need to go to the farmacia.

- Oh, I can take you, Claude. - Great!

Oh, I... I was hoping that Jack and I could go on a hike.

I'd like to hike. Should we all go on a hike?

Not with this plantar fasciitis.

I wouldn't mind going into town, though. I do have some stuff to pick up.

Do you two want to take my car?

I can't park that boat.

I cannot drive an automatic.

- Are you guys happy? - What do you mean?

Can you honestly say that you are happy in your lives?

- Yeah. - Every moment of every day.

What kind of question is that? Come on.

I'm leaving Anne.

- Wait, what? - Oh, fuck. Nick.

What... Yeah... Sorry.

I thought you were just gearing up to sell us some retirement package.

I'm not happy.

I haven't been for a long time.

Fuck. Man, I... I... I'm sorry.

It's time for me to take hold of my life.

What about Lila?

Lila's in college. The house is paid off.

Is there somebody else?

No, no, no, no. It's not like that. It's... It's Anne.

I hate her.

No, I don't. I don't.

She's a kind woman. She just...

She's given up.

She doesn't do anything.

She won't read any new books.

She won't go out on the boat.

I... I built her that pottery shed.

She hasn't made one thing.

All she wants to do is play this farm game on her iPad.
