Arbor Demon

You're doing it again.

You're interrupting.

Dana:
You woke me up

twice last night.

I don't know how the guys

are gonna put up with

you for three months.

Was I good?

Think you're getting nervous

about going on the road.

Come here.

Dana:
You guys are gonna

be great.

Don't worry about it.

I know what I'm getting into,

nails.

You're gonna stick with "nails,"

huh?

You can't call me something

more traditional,

like "babe" or "sweetheart"

or something?

I don't know.

I'm not traditional.

Neither are you.

Come back to bed if you want

something traditional.

Oh, god, oh!

You call me nails

one more time...

It's an amazing name.

Do you know how awesome it is

to have a nickname like that?

You would like

"dickface," et cetera?

Oh, really?

You don't like "dickface"?

Mm, I like "nails."

I like "dickface."

I'll stop for now.

I'm gonna miss you.

You'd better.

I had that dream

again last night.

Oh! About the woods?

The woods. The far woods.

It was special.

It was peaceful.

We could stay in bed

the weekend instead.

Come on, you love camping.

We can connect to our inner

caveman and cavewoman.

Oh, god. Sorry.

Give me a second.

You ok?

Yeah, I just need

to take a shower.

These are really good.

Dana:
Hi, this is Dana Baker

calling to confirm

her appointment for Monday.

Right, I need a ride.

Right, of course.

Um, and if I change my mind...

Uh, yes, I have.

Yes, I do understand.

Ok, yeah.

Ok, thank you.

Who was that?

Oh, I just double-booked

myself for Tuesday.

You overpack?

Whatever it takes.

Happy anniversary.

I thought we said no presents.

Well, I can't take it back.

Is it a compass?

I love it, it's perfect.

You're always such a sh*t.

Thank you, baby.

We could just pitch

a tent here instead.

Where's the fun in that?

Don't forget anything.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're so weird.

Now...

Think you love that camera

more than you love me.

Maybe.

Did you reach out to Jenny?

No, but I will.

Nails, you need

to make more friends.

I don't want you moping

around the house

for six months all alone.

It's sweet that you're worried about me.

I'm fine.

That bad?

You're so f***in' photogenic.

You know, maybe

when you come back,

we can have a conversation about

having a little rock star.

Dana.

You could teach him how

to play guitar.

Dana, we're not that couple.

What couple?

Double deep in poop

and preschools.

I don't know, you love

your brother's kids.

Because I'm the cool uncle

and you're the cool aunt.

We're the exciting couple

that travels and has adventures.

Well, having a family

is an adventure.

Dana, we talked about this

when we got married.

You were always the one

that said no kids.

"Nails" suits you.

"Mommy" doesn't.

Sorry, I just...

I don't know why you're

bringing this up now.

Let's just enjoy the time

we have together, ok?

All right.

No stress?

Did you make

the boat reservation?

Sh*t.

Hey. You ok?

You got it?

Let's do it.

It's overgrown.

Yeah.

Charles:
You ok?

You ok?

Yeah. Just gimme a sec.

We can stop.

You remember the echo?

Coo-coo!

Oh!

Man, it's beautiful up here

all alone.

We're not alone.

Dana:
What is that,

a four-Wheeler?

I guess.

They got a shitty taste in beer.

God.

Let's head this way.

Here.

Come on.

Come on!

The guys... If we went down

to your studio for like an hour,

just got a group shot

in the Van,

we could put it on a t-shirt.

Each venue, I don't know,

the guys are saying we could

make a couple hundred bucks.

Might come in handy.

Dana:
Yeah. Yeah,

i could do that. Sure.

Watch out.

I don't know

what is wrong with me.

Never used to stop.

You're getting old.

Charles:
Watch the water.

All right?

Dana:
Yeah.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good, babe.

I'm good.

Damn it.

Are you sure you don't

want any help?

I got it.

There's instructions.

I am the tent wizard.

Mm-hmm.

It's ready.

Charles:
Arrggh!

Charles:
Gotcha!

Stop it.

Don't look at me.

Stop!

I wanna see what I'll be

missing the next few days.

I'll send you pictures.

Dirty ones?

Maybe.

Dana:
It's nice we're so

disconnected from cell phones.

Disconnect to reconnect, right?

I guess.

It's a great name

for an album cover.

I love this.

I think you need it

more than I do, though.

I have a great sense

of direction.

Yeah, sure you do.

Maybe we'll get lost together.

Ah, you're safe with me.

Unless a snake slithers into the tent.

Then you're on your own.

What about a bear?

I can handle a bear.

Or you could beat up

a little bear.

That's true. I could.

You know, nothing's

getting into this tent.

Unless it's my snake

ready for round two.

You dork!

Oh, god, stop, go to sleep!

I don't feel well, babe.

Oh!

Sweet dreams.

I love you.

Good night.

Good night.

Love you.

Hey.

Hey, Charles.

What is that?

It's your thumb.

It's not my thumb,

I'm a professional.

Charles:
Go to sleep.

Dana!

Dana?

Dana?

One minute!

The neighbors were

horrible last night.

I guess I didn't hear 'em.

Too many years next to

a bass and drum man.

Never understood why people

shoot guns into the air.

It's like, "look at me,

I'm so masculine."

A**holes.

Come on, let's go deeper in.

Wanna go deeper in?

Wait up!

It's peaceful up here.

May just come out here

on my own.

That's why I keep telling

you to make friends.

No, thank you.

I thought you liked

marshmallows.

You packed 'em.
