Goodbye World Page #3

Synopsis: James and Lily, estranged from society, live off the grid, raising their young daughter in a cocoon of comfort and sustainability. When a mysterious mass text ripples its way across the country, triggering a crippling, apocalyptic cyber attack, their home transitions from sheltered modern oasis to a fortress for the estranged old friends that show up at their door for protection and community. The unexpected reunion--abundant with revelry and remembrances, generously enhanced by organic wine and weed--is quickly undermined by the slights of the past, the spark of lingering flirtations and the threat of a locally grown new world order. Balancing tense confrontations with slivers of levity, director Denis Henry Hennelly pinpoints a future where ideology explodes into action in every area.

for easy storage.

Mr. Bear, um, is sleeping,

and he just needs

us to wake him up.

Yeah!

Oh!

Oh! Oh! Hey!

Wow, he needs a hug.

Yeah.

- Jesus.

- Sounds selfish to me.

Everyone is selfish.

You don't believe in friendship?

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying the more

self-sufficient you are,

the more free you are, okay?

Every connection is an

opportunity for compromise.

It's basically death by

a thousand small cuts.

But that's why God put us here.

To make compromises?

To give of ourselves. To make

the world a better place.

You want to make the

world a better place?

Make your world a better place.

Hey, if you hate people so much

how come you asked me to make one?

I don't hate people. You clearly

aren't listening to me.

I think we understand

you perfectly.

Everything's easier if you

get to call the shots.

All right.

Let's talk about it.

We obviously have a lot

of bad blood between us.

Yeah, well, maybe we

have some bad blood

but, you know, it's

not like AIDS blood.

Lily.

Or hepatitis blood.

Malaria.

Ebola.

Sh*t, Nicky. That is some

seriously bad blood.

All right, Nicky, you win.

Ebola blood is the worst blood.

All I'm trying to say is that

things would have been better

if Lily and I were able to

convince you outside of court

not to take the company in

the direction you wanted.

Is that a James apology?

No, no, wait, wait, wait.

What's a James apology?

- Come on, dude.

- What is it?

Come on. Have you ever said

"I'm sorry" in your entire life?

Of course.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

No, honey.

Look, you know what?

I hear what you're trying to

say, and I appreciate it.

Thank you.

You know what we need to do?

We need to get smoked-up

and go skinny-dipping

in the hot tub.

Becky, what do you say?

I... I don't know.

I'm tired.

Nicky?

Awkward.

Yeah.

All right, well,

anybody who isn't totally

lame can join me.

What?

They seem so unhappy, don't they?

I'd be unhappy too if I

were married to him.

Do you want an Ambien?

Mmm.

Whatever happened to that guy?

Is he still in jail?

Benji? No.

He got out a few years ago.

James and Lily let him crash here

so he could get back on his feet.

He lives here?

They let him rent the guest house

down at the edge of the property.

God, I'm going to have to

see him too this weekend?

No, no, he travels a lot.

Giving lectures.

I didn't know you

were still in touch.

I see Facebook updates.

It's shitty, isn't it?

Seems like I let everybody go.

Well, I'm glad we're here

so you can finally

get some closure,

but that doesn't mean you

have to keep these people

in your life.

This is your past.

Your present is so much better.

How was it?
