2 In the Bush: A Love Story

Morning Kenneth!

Do you wanna talk about it?

No.

You want some coffee?

Where's it from?

Um, I made it, I just made it over there...

No, the beans, where are the beans from?

Oh, I found a bag in the back of the cabinet, I thought...

Where were the beans grown?

Grown?

Yes, sourced.

Like, like Columbia?

Like Columbia? Lesson for the day,

Millions and millions of people die every year picking coffee beans.

And they're never compensated for it.

Yes.

So, the bag that you found,your blood is on their hands.

Or their blood is on your hands, either or, you're a murderer.

It's a metaphor.

Here's one that's not. Go sit down.

It's not bad.

Hey Claire,

I'm so sorry, he's not available until the 28th.

Yes, I received the script. I am printing it out right now.

OK, great, talk soon.

Claire called. She wants to know if you can shoot any earlier than the 28th. I told her you're booked but...

Does Archimedes look depressed to you?

I'm sorry?

Archimedes. He seems... languid.

Uh, languid?

Yes, I'm concerned.

Um, what do you want me to tell Claire?

This is really bumming me out. I'm gonna take a walk.

Um, OK. When will you be back?

I don't know. Later.

Uh, cause it's almost 2, and you have that meeting at 3...

Emily, I really can't deal with this right now. My fish is sick.

Honey, I'm home.

I was able to get off work a little early today.

So I stopped by that Chinese place you like.

I thought we could both use a little treat.

Kate?

Peter: Oh shit.

Peter! Peter, she's choking! Peter, help her!

Peter: OK!

Kate: Peter, save her!

OK! Superhuman strength! I got it!

I know the Heimlich! Come here! I know the Heimlich, stop!

Emily: I'm not choking...

Clear the airway! Clear the airway!

OK, uh, Staying Alive, I don't know the song!

Oh you're breathing. You're breathing! I saved your life.

Get off.

Look, we were gonna to tell you, we just didn't know how.

How long?

3 months.

And how many times?

Look, that's, it's just not really important...

It's 7.

Peter.

Actually, I think it's 8.

Count the time with the vibrator, does that? I don't think that counts.

Because I wasn't, I wasn't inside of her, it was the...

Oh my god! Please shut up!

I mean, how did this even happen?

I thought that you were mostly gay, like 80%?

I know, but maybe it's more like 70?

70? How?

Kate: Sorry. Emily: And you!

Peter, you were my best friend.

I'm still your best friend, like, that doesn't have to change.

OK, it's just, big deal, I like to have sex with your girlfriend every once and awhile.

Oh, I'm gonna kill you!

Emily, Emily! Guys, break it up!

OK! I'm fine! I'm fine.

I mean, I don't even know how I'm going to begin to forgive you.

We're definitely going to couples' counseling, that's for sure...

Emily, Emily, we're not going back to couples' counseling...

Yeah, I know you don't think it works, but if you believe in it...

No, I mean I want to be with Peter.

And I don't want to be with you anymore.

Oh.

Kate: I think it's best if I stay with Peter tonight.

Look I know this isn't the best time to talk about it, um,

But my name is on the lease.

I'm going to give you a few days to find a new place.

And then Peter's going to move in here with me.

Emily: You're kicking me out of my own life.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

Hey. Um, I know, um, we haven't talked in a while but,

I really, I really need you... right now, um,

If you could give me a call when you get a chance... OK, bye.

Why would you tell your mom that you wanted to put a kiddie pool on the roof?

Why wouldn't I tell my mom?

Remember, she was a huge asset in the whole venture.

God, If I told my mom that, she would ask what kind of drugs I was on.

My mom was the one that showed me how to roll up my first joint.

I'm so jealous!

Besides, how could you even forget that? I mean like,

It was a poor college student's hot tub underneath the stars.

With a killer view of the skyline.

Indeed.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For dropping out of your life.

Well, you're here now,that's what matters.

Rosa: That bitch!

Excuse me?

No, not you... Kate.

I can't believe she did that to you!

I knew it was coming.

What? You knew he was,

Oh! No, no. I never could have imagined that.

We weren't happy.

We hadn't been happy for a long time.

She's still a bitch.

True.

Voilà. Here we go.

Arroz con camarones,

And kale salad.

So you've been binge-watching cooking shows again?

Only on weekends, girl who's got time?

You know, this isn't so bad.

Mm-hmm.

I have you.

Mm-hmm.

I have this amazing meal.

Right?

At least I still have my job.

Emily: What do you mean he cancelled?

What exactly did he say when he,

Um, Claire, I'm gonna have to call you back, sorry.

Hey Kenneth, why did you cancel on Claire...

I really can't talk right now Emily.

What are you doing, you don't leave until the 28th.

I'm flying out tonight.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Papua New Guinea.

I've dreamt of doing this for years, I finally secured funding last night.

It's going to be amazing Emily, people and places you can't begin to imagine.

Um, wait, so you're shooting a documentary?

Not just any documentary, I'm going to film throughout the entire country.

From the shores of Port Moresby to deep inside the mountains and rainforests.

I'm going to capture forgotten languages, cultures untouched by the modern world.

This is going to be one of the most authentic and important stories ever told.

OK. All right, cool. Um, OK, well I'll just need a couple of days to get everything together.

I can just meet you there. Um, shit I gotta get my passport.

Do they have a vaccine for malaria?

What are you talking about? You're not going.

I'm not?

No, what would you even do there? Update my calendar while I spear fish?

I could help. I could, I could shoot, I could...

Don't be ridiculous, you're not a filmmaker.

Well I want to be, that's why I took this job. Kenneth: Do you?

What's your story?

Until you have a story that burns so bright inside of you,

that it feels like it's going to consume you, if you don't get it out,

You are not a filmmaker.

You see, Emily, this is my dream.

You go find yours.

Um, so what's gonna happen to the company?

I am shutting this place down.

You can go home if you want. I'll pay you to the end of the week. That's fair, right?

Woah, what are you doing?

I'm taking him.

Archimedes? You can't!

Yes, I can. He's more mine than yours anyway.

I feed him, I take care of him. You just show up.

You're a bad fish-dad!

And your first documentary? It was overrated.

How dare you.

I'll come back for everything else later.

Goodbye friend.

And Emily.

Rosa: Hello?

Emily: Hey.

How you doing in there?

Good.

Yeah?

Uh huh.

Are you sure?

Not really.

Can I come in?

Yeah.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I'm a loser.

No, you're not.

I lost my job, today.

And I lost my girlfriend, and my apartment.

So, by definition, I am a fucking loser.

Well, you still got me, eh? That's a lot.

It's a hundred and eighty pounds of awesome, and everything! Emily: What are you doing!

Give me your foot.

No, don't, don't, don't!

Hello? Rosa: Hello?

Can I please have a new life?

Why are you adding cilantro?

You need to balance the acidity! Ever heard of it?
