The Intervention Page #3

Synopsis: A young couple, Peter and Ruby, are married with three children. On a weekend trip a tight-knit group of friends confront them about their constant bickering and propose they divorce. Reacting in anger, the couple clearly realize the truth in what their friends are trying to say; nonetheless, they remember their old feelings for each other and decide instead to strive to improve their relationship. Later, the intervention is turned around on Annie (Lynskey) and her alcohol problem, while she begins to realize that her conspired marriage intervention for Ruby and Peter may have been based on her suppressed doubts about her own impending wedding.

Should we do something

tonight to celebrate?

Um, well, no,

'cause that would mean

we would have to

acknowledge it,

and we haven't

acknowledged sh*t, so...

If we acknowledge

the anniversary,

we haven't had sex

in six months, and...

Right.

What's up with this?

Oh, yeah,

i do this again.

Don't give me that look.

It's fine.

It's totally under control. Okay.

Not...

Fine.

When did you

start smoking again?

I didn't.

And they really hit it off. She went

like this, "we really hit it off."

You know what I mean?

Not my type.

Yeah, but she's

Jessie's type.

Ah, come on, please.

What is she, like, 12?

Well, she's early-20s.

That's Jessie's type.

I want to...

I want to... kiss me.

Did you see it coming?

Is that connected back...

So, Pete, um,

do you still lease?

Huh?

Your car?

Yeah.

Cute. Oh, my... Go like this. What about 'em?

What?

It's like a little puppy.

You still have

that, um, BMW?

Let me do it to you.

I wanna put your entire nose

in my mouth.

I wanna suck everything

out of your nose.

Hey! Hello.

What?

You guys mind taking this

inside or into traffic?

Okay. I'm gonna go shower. No.

You hang out with your friends. No!

- Sorry, Lola, it's not you.

- Don't be sorry.

I just haven't seen this guy

in a long time.

I'll be back.

Give me that.

No.

I'll be back.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you more.

That is just puppy love. What,

do you forget what it looks like?

She doesn't make you feel,

like, super-old?

Her?

Like, so old.

She doesn't...

No. Stop. First of all, "so old"? No.

We talk about...

Was Titanic out yet?

No. But I've explained it to

her, and she knows how it ends.

- Made a cheese plate.

- Ooh!

- That looks yummy.

- So...

So there's...

Where is it? There's Sadie.

Oh!

Oh, my gosh!

In her little dress.

Annie, look at this one.

Oh, cute.

Oh, my god.

Will you send that one to me?

How could you

ever have a bad day

when you get to

look at that face!

You gotta send me

that one.

What is that,

like, a little lion costume?

What're you guys

all looking at?

Looking at Pete

and Ruby's kids.

- Oh, can I see?

- Yeah, look.

He's a cute kid. I can't

believe how big they are.

So cute. Well, you see them so infrequently.

You know, when you're

around them all the time,

they don't really

change that much.

How old is that?

Yeah, she has...

Well, Leo is eight,

Sadie's six,

and Stanley's two and a half.

He's almost three.

In six months.

In like half a year.

October's in three months.

Sadie is in October. Stanley

is in January, so, six months.

He's gonna be three.

Oh.

How 'bout you guys? When

are you gonna have babies?

I don't know.

Well, we have... We have to
