The Invitation Page #6

Synopsis: Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband... and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will's hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?

I feel like you guys

have to come to my house.

I... that's all I do.

Get ice cream and...

Are you gonna come and

join us at some point?

Will?

Can you tell me what that is?

It is a pill, will.

I found a bunch of it

in Eden's bedroom

- unlabeled...

- Wait. What are you...

Please just look at it.

It's phenobarbital, I think.

Is that dangerous?

Anything is dangerous if

you take too much of it.

It's a barbiturate.

I mean, it's old-school,

but it's...

Not unusual to find it

if you're rifling through

somebody's medicine cabinet.

Hey, hey, break up

your little clique.

Come talk to us.

Come on. Let's go.

Apparently V.I.P. Room

is in the kitchen.

Guys, guys, guys,

join us, please.

Just opened another bottle.

Oh, yes.

Probably needs

a little more air.

I mean it, Miguel. Just

keep it between us.

Okay, snoopy.

Ah, man.

Can you give this one to Miguel?

- Yeah.

- Gracias.

De nada.

Ah, smell that.

Okay.

Salud.

Salud.

Will thinks

you guys are on pills.

Figuratively.

You think we're crazy?

I never said that.

That's okay.

I'm not offended.

A lot of people

think we're crazy.

But I doubt they're

as happy as we are.

Where's the diet again?

Why?

No comprendo ingls.

- Thank you.

- De nada.

Or don't you guys think

this is a little bit weird?

Look, will, there is no way

that tonight wasn't gonna

feel a little strange...

Or sad.

Look, this is just

a long-overdue reunion

between old friends

with a couple of totally

frickin' friend weirdoes.

They're a little mansony.

- "Mansonian"?

- And that skinny girl...

Look, I'm not kidding.

Come on.

Hey, I got you.

Look at me.

Yeah, they're a little

weird, but this is L.A.

They're harmless.

Let's just get

through this night,

give them a break.

Let's steal some more

of this wine.

Oh, now that is something I

can get behind. Come on.

Hey, guys, listen!

I realize that some of you

might have found that video

a little disturbing

or off-putting,

and I apologize for that.

It's cool.

Nah, Gina, it's not.

Last thing I want

you guys to think

is that I'm trying

to force my ideas on you.

- Welcome back.

- Hey.

You know, it's just I

want you guys to know me.

There's this game we used to play

in Mexico at the end of group,

and I think we should try it.

What kind of game

are we talking about?

Like charades or something?

Ah, it'll be fun, and it'll give you

a sense of what we learned, right?

I'm in.

What is it?

Okay, it's kind of

like that game

we played in college,

"I never."

- Oh, yeah.

- I always lose that game.

Oh, I never do.

Except this time, it's "I want,"

so we take turns,

and everybody gets

to say what they want.
