And I think

that's f***ing great.

And I would never call him

a dick for that,

so f*** you

for saying that.

But let's raise a glass

to the whole man.

Cheers.

Thank you.

(quietly)

Cheers.

So, anyway, I was...

we should say something.

But does anyone

want another drink?

Or, uh...

(groans)

Oh, boy.

(sighs loudly)

- How'd that go for you?

When you wrote it,

how did you see that

actually playing out for you?

(groans)

I will say this.

Some parties are forgettable.

(chuckles)

- You know what I mean?

But I got to say,

this party...

- Had great guacamole

and amazing public speaking.

- Great public speaking.

They'll remember it.

- You got to stop.

You know that, right?

- Oh, this is...

this is that moment...

- This is your intervention.

- Isn't it?

This is...

this is hard Iris.

- I miss you.

I miss my friend.

I know you're sad.

I'm sad too.

- Yeah.

You know what I always

think about?

I think about, like, you're...

that must have been so hard

for you to leave Tom.

That f***ing guy loved you.

Man.

You are so...

but you were right,

and you were so brave,

and you were so right.

- It wasn't right with us.

- No, it wasn't right

with you guys.

But that's okay.

Can I tell you something?

I turned down the Trinity job.

- Why?

- I don't want to go to Trinity

and show them who I am

right now,

because they'll never

hire me again.

And so that almost means,

like,

I don't want to go another party

and show them

who I am right now.

And I don't want to go to a girl

and show her who I am

right now...

- You're a mess.

- Well...

- I've been watching you

for a year now,

and whatever you're doing,

and whatever you think

is helping you,

I have a responsibility

as your friend

to tell you

that it's not.

- I knew this was coming,

by the way.

- Okay.

- Just tell me what to do.

- Okay.

- That's basically where I'm at.

Just tell me what...

- Okay, all right.

- You know better than I do.

You know I...

I don't know what the f***

I'm doing.

- I know.

I have a plan.

- You have a plan?

- I just want you

to hear me out.

It's just a plan right now.

- I love your plans.

- You might not love this one,

but just hear me out.

- But I don't have any plans.

- Um, that's the good news.

You know, uh, you know that

nice red bicycle that you have?

(belches)

Yes.

- Yikes.

- Sorry.

(laughing)

What you're going to do...

you're gonna dust off

Old Red,

you're gonna wheel him

out of the shed,

and you're gonna get on a ferry.

I'm sending you

to my dad's place.

You know my dad's place

on the island?

It's beautiful in the winter.

It's idyllic and crisp

and peaceful and...

- Like, by "beautiful" you mean,
