Night Of The Harvest

John?

Uh, hey, I-- I'm here.

It's unlocked, come in. I'm just finishing up.

I'm in the kitchen.

So what do you think?

I bet you didn't believe me when I said Halloween

was my favorite holiday.

Um, I love it, but I'm easy to impress.

Hopefully not too easy.

Oh, uh, thanks.

This is from my private reserve.

I only break it out for special occasions.

How, uh, special are we talking?

Well, if you were at a bar, about $100 worth is special.

Oh, wow. Um... Well, I guess my mom was right.

I really am a special occasion.

Halloween's tomorrow. That's special.

You're just an occasion.

Ah, well, I'll take it.

I'm going to go finish getting ready.

We can leave in about ten minutes.

Cool.

Hello.

Hi!

Happy night before Halloween.

Devil's night is finally upon us.

She might have a bit of a hard time,

but she has you to get excited.

So, uh, do you maybe want to move this to the bedroom?

Nope, no. God, that was terrible.

And creepy.

This will not be another Gina situation.

How about we just, uh, keeping it out here?

We can throw on a movie, maybe order some sushi?

Better. Definitely better.

Uh, okay, so, um, this drink has me

a little tipsy, so no pop-outs.

Um...

I-- I like Halloween,

but I forgot to mention I have a healthy amount of phobias.

Thanks again for taking care of everything.

Remember, next year I've got you.

I love you.

I see you've decided to match my Halloween spirit.

I'm impressed.

John, are you lost?

John?

No. No!

Hey.

Are you hungry?

No, not really.

I found this in storage.

Therapist said I should do

something creative as an outlet.

Think a drawing would be a good place to start.

These are good.

Mom would be proud.

I still see it, you know, more often than I thought I would.

I tell my therapist I don't, but I do.

365 days later, and it's still right there.

Madison, you have to forgive yourself.

You have to.

Come on, let's go get some food to go with this awful vodka.

No, I just want to sit here.

-Maddie-- -I just want to

sit here for a little while,

and then I'll go get some food, or climb into bed.

Tonight--

I know what tonight is.

Hey, uh--

I love you.

We're gonna get through this.

I promise you, after this weekend, you'll be just fine.

Audrey, can I have...

Oh man, this is gonna be awesome.

No, Audrey's going to love this.

The call's supposed to come in today, so--

Look, don't stress about the call, okay?

Whatever happens ends up happening.

I'm not stressed. I'm good.

Right. You're cool. You're confident.

Dude, obviously I'm lying.

Of course I'm stressed.

I'm the most stressed I've been in my entire life.

I'm probably going to pass out when they call me.

You're not going to pass out, okay?

Relax. Everything's going to be fine.

Besides, this whole call is secondary business.

I-- I need you to be focused on

what we've got going on tonight.

Whoa, where the hell's your costume?

I'm just going to do what I did last year.

What were you again last year?

- You don't remember? - Yeah, that's how shitty it was.

We were at the same party. Together.

Changing the subject, today is mine and Audrey's

six-month anniversary.

It's kind of a big deal, so...

I'm thinking about doing something a little crazy.

You're not thinking of proposing, right?

Dude, please tell me you're not

thinking of proposing to this girl after...

No, no, no, I'm not proposing.

No. It's-- it's a lot bigger than that.

I'm going to tell her that I love her.

I-- I can't believe that you

haven't told her that you love her yet.

Bro, you've been dating her for six solid months.

Every single day, you've been seeing this girl.

Christ, how has she not dumped you yet? I mean...

-Okay. -First of all, explain to me how

saying I love you is a bigger deal than proposing.

'Cause trust me, if I was dating Audrey,

I would have said that shit day one.

I mean, I cannot believe you have taken this long.

Jesus, I think Halloween

has officially taken over Christmas.

No, no way. The Pope would never allow it.

I mean, no, look at all this.

Oh, that's disgusting.

We are Valentine's Day people.

We are definitely Valentine's Day people.

What do you think

they've got planned for later tonight?

I have no clue. I have no idea.

Which in itself is very worrisome, because, you know,

I need to know at least a day ahead of time what to expect.

Yes, babe. I know all about your party requirement.

This is what I was thinking. How about we go,

see what they're putting on, and if it's a no-go,

honestly, I hope we just do our own thing, you know?

Maybe we get a couple rom-coms,

and a movie theater popcorn.

See, this, this is why I love you so much.

Holy shit.

Oh, my God.

Yes, yes, yes.

Riley and Jacob gonna pick me up.

We're gonna Halloween all day long.

Halloween.

Ween--

Yes! Oh my God, you're here.

Yes, yes. Hey, guys!

Guys!

It's Halloween.

Why are you already in your costume, Joyce?

Um, because I want to get as much out of today as possible.

Tomorrow's gonna be all about Thanksgiving, and then

it's gonna be all about Christmas.

It's gonna be all about...

Yeah, yeah, we know the sequential order

of holidays in the United States.

Okay, but today is my holiday, bitches, so turn on that radio.

K-Hit is playing Halloween music.

Hey.

I was just thinking about you.

Was it about how good I look in this hat?

No, no, and I-- not-- not that at all, actually.

But, you, I mean, you do-- you know, you do look

pretty-- pretty good in that hat, though.

-Yeah? -Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh.

You know, we could, uh... we could just sit here.

Blow everybody off.

We can go inside, pass out candy, watch a scary movie.

I mean, come on, it'd be great.

But you'd be okay with just sitting here?

Not here. In my apartment.

So I've got these-- I've got chairs,

and I've-- I've got this thing. It's called a couch.

I want to tell you something,

and I really hope you don't freak out.

I also have to tell you something,

and I hope that you're not gonna freak out.

Okay, but I probably should go first.

Oh, my God, you're married.

What? No.

-You're seeing somebody else? -No.

But you want to see somebody else.

No, I don't want to see anybody...

I have a sister.

Oh, well, thank God.

Wait, how come you've never brought her up before?

Right after I moved here,

someone tried to kill her.

Oh, my God.

She was stabbed, and, um,

she lost so much blood, she, uh...

she actually died.

My little sister. And she almost died.

Oh, Jesus, Audrey.

Is she okay, now?

No.

But she will be.

It's hard to talk about her.

Every time I think about Madison, every time I see her,

it's... it's the first thing I think about.

I am so fucking mad that I wasn't able to protect her.

Her therapist said that we should spend
