so that you have

Okay.

Salem, Pennsylvania.

Department

of Motor Vehicles.

What does "Louise" mean?

It's your middle name.

It's work.

Okay.

Whatever it is,

I think we should just

try to be more...

than we were.

We already are.

We already are

more than we were.

Leia?

You okay in there?

Oh, oh, okay,

okay, I'll get it.

- Sorry.

- No, no, no, no, no.

It's alright.

Here.

Careful.

I'll get it,

I'll get it, I'll get it.

There we go.

It's all fine, it's all fine.

I like the bread warm.

That's okay.

How do we... let's see.

I like it toasty, sorry.

That's all right.

It'll... it'll go off

in just a second.

This happens all the time.

There we go.

Okay.

There we go.

- Sorry.

- No, that's fine.

So... for next time,

there's a toaster.

You know.

So you could toast

the bread first,

and then make the sandwich.

Oh, yeah.

Here, let's start again.

Okay, here we go.

And...

Here you go.

Mm-hmm.

Now turn it on.

There we go.

- Oh, right.

- Mm-hmm.

Mr. McKay didn't

have a kitchen?

We had a kitchen, obviously.

Just, I never went

in there.

It was in a different

part of the house.

Ben always cooked for me.

Mr. McKay.

So you never left

the basement at all?

You weren't allowed

in other parts of the house?

We didn't call it a basement.

It was where we lived.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

It's an honest mistake.

What is?

Calling it a basement.

No, I meant,

about everything.

I'm...

I'm sorry about everything.

It's okay.

You're trying.

Thank you for doing this

with me.

It's supposed

to be therapeutic,

meditative.

You used to love beads.

Your Aunt Jill

had a bead shop

before she moved

to Santa Fe,

and you loved

to go in there

and sink your hands deep

into the bins of glass beads.

I wanted to get you some,

but I was always afraid

you'd eat them

when I wasn't looking.

What are you making?

A string of beads.

So I have room

for about six more,

but I have ten beads left.

Which...

which ones do you think

I should leave out?

Any of them.

Well, help me out.

Which ones do you think?

I know things.

Oh, I know.

I wasn't nothing to him.

He raised me.

Okay.

Also, "ones" isn't a word.

What is that?

What?

That.

Oh, that, wow.

Maybe you better open it.

Okay.

What is it?

Look through it.

Look at the light.

Whoa.

Yeah.

That's the window

I promised you.

Click that button down

on the side.

And those are the natural

wonders of the world,

before they went away.

Where did they go?

You know.

I told you.

Everything's ruined out there.

Nothing good out there anymore.

You couldn't save it?

Well, you have

to pick your battles.

You can only save so much.

I picked you.
