- You're a liar.

I got a call out of the blue.

I had no idea.

She left it to me,

and I...

Doesn't make any sense.

She just left it to me.

I had no idea.

You could have told me.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I didn't know where you were.

I found you.

You could've found me.

Maybe I didn't want to.

I would've told

you eventually.

We used to tell

each other everything.

I know.

You said that earlier.

Ethan.

This makes sense.

Can you see it?

It all makes sense.

Alice.

She had a secret life.

- This house.

- Okay.

Me coming here.

She had a secret life.

- I didn't plan this.

- No...

- I didn't plan this, Ethan.

- Please.

I just got in the car,

and something drove me here.

Can't you see?

This is all meant to be.

Ethan?

You'll come with me.

There's a better

place than here.

Don't fight it.

Come on.

Don't fight it.

(STRUGGLING)

Ethan! Ethan! Ethan!

Ethan!

(INSECT CHITTERING)

ALICE:
Ethan.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- I thought you left.

- No.

Did you open

the windows last night?

No, why?

I thought

they were open.

Maybe you opened them.

Maybe.

What are you

doing in here?

Making coffee.

You want some?

Yeah.

What are you

thinking about?

Hmm?

Creatures grow

inside our bellies.

It's like we're technically upside

down, and yet, we don't fall.

But people think it's strange

to consider somewhere else...

Wait. Where'd

you get that?

I found it.

You shouldn't wear that.

You'd never

leave me behind, right?

Just promise you'll never leave me.

Please.

I won't leave you.

Just don't f*** me over

like you did to her.

She deserved it.

You're the reason

why she left, Alice.

Alice! Alice, wait!

Alice, stop!

(GASPS)

Hi.

What's going on?

- Nothing.

- Nothing.

This is Alice.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Alice. Alice.

Of course. I'm so sorry.

Hi.

I'm Misty,

Ethan's girlfriend.

- Misty.

- Yeah.

Did you forget

I was coming?

Yeah. No. I mean,

I forgot. I'm...

No. I got caught up

in things. Sorry.

Right. Obviously.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

(ETHAN SIGHING)

It's good to see you.

MISTY:
I'm gonna jump in the shower.

I feel crazy after that trip.

It was really

great to meet you.

I can't believe you didn't

tell me you had a girlfriend.

- You won't say anything...

- About what?

- About what's been happening.

- What has been happening?

- Just things have been weird.

- So, you will admit it.

Just... Just don't

tell her about it.

I can't believe you

didn't tell me about her.

I'm sorry.

No, I mean, I can't believe it.

It's literally unbelievable.
