Hi.
Tag, you're it.
Oh, sh--
Hey.
Hey, I'm driving this gigantic truck I just got.
Come out to the curb.
Yeah, I'm already on the curb.
I'll see you in a sec.
Can't believe this is the last of it already.
Yup.
So you want me to use the truck to drop you off at work?
You need the truck for the last bit of the stuff, right?
Yeah, but what if your car doesn't start again?
That won't happen, but if it does, I'll ride my bike.
The truck is a gift to you.
Oh?
You deserve a gift. You're starting work tomorrow.
Well, it's just another dog training client.
Yeah, well, you'll find something else soon.
Yeah, I just feel like I'm taking a step backwards training people's dogs again.
I'm sorry, it's--it's not your fault.
Well, technically no.
Well, I mean, I guess I'd be more excited
if I felt like you were more excited that I came back.
Hold on.
We're re-doing the phone call.
What?
Here, you're in Chicago, I'm in L.A., you're telling me you're moving.
All right.
Aren't you gonna answer?
Never on the first ring.
Hello?
Hi. It's me.
Hey, kind of a bad time.
Did you have something you wanted to tell me?
Yes.
I miss you and I'm moving back.
I'm leaving my job.
That is exciting news.
I can't wait.
I love you.
I can't wait for you to be here.
Thank you. I
believe you.
Good.
All right, now we can drive.
Okay, 'cause that was ridiculous.
Everything in my brain tells me that she doesn't deserve a second chance.
You know, but it's my mom,
it's like something in my gut tells me I just
need to make up with her and start over. I can't shake it.
Harry, try to think of your gut instincts as you, on your death bed, um,
sending a message back in time.
You can-- It's okay.
You can argue with your instincts all you want,
you can try to outthink them but in the end,
you're only gonna hurt yourself if you don't at least acknowledge them.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Harry, we're really on to something.
No, no, I know we are, but if you're gonna show up late,
you at least gotta shower or something.
I mean, you look like you got TB.
Sorry, I just-- I had to ride my bike here.
My car wouldn't start and I was moving somebody this morning.
Moving? Are you a moving guy or a shrink?
He was helping my daughter move.
He's been a good boyfriend.
They've been together for seven years.
Six years.
That's exciting.
Yeah, I just I didn't realize that when I was
letting you sit in on my therapy sessions
that I pay for that that it was a family thing.
How are you doing with your night terrors?
I just didn't realize that he's here because he's humping your daughter.
Excuse me.
Dude!
Whoa!
Watch where you're going! You almost killed me!
Are you okay?
Yeah, no, I'm fine, just kind of rolled the knee a little.
Here.
I will give you the kind of moral support
that only a stranger can provide to you, while I wait. While you wait.
Well-well, thank you.
You're welcome.
I'm Johnny Knoxville, by the way.
It's nice to meet you, Johnny.
Ben actually.
So, Ben, are you always this uncoordinated
or is it like a Clark Kent kind of thing
where it's an act to cover up your superpowers?
Yeah, actually that's exactly what it is.
Yeah?
Yeah. Yeah, I used to do the glasses thing, you know,
but then I just started amping up the number of times
I throw myself off moving objects every day.
I like that.
Actually, I was kind of distracted.
I was watching this girl read a book over by that tree.
I do have pretty good book reading skills though so, thanks for noticing.
You should see me dunk, really good.
Really? Like basketball?
Yeah.
Wow.
Hmm. How tall are you?
You don't believe me?
I'm good, I'm really good. I play every day.
Okay.
They're naming the courts after me.
-Really? What, these courts? -Yeah,
yeah. Nadia's Courts of Wonder.
Hmm, okay. I can buy that.
Wow. Well, thank you.
You're welcome.
Look at that.
Started right up, I didn't even do nothing, I looked at it.
Of course it starts now, I have nowhere to go.
You're still gonna get me courtside tickets for Friday's game?
Why? Why would I do that?
I just fixed your car.
You fixed nothing, you looked at it.
I looked right at it!
That-- you know--
And it works.
Looking at it counts for nothing, sorry.
I'm a Jedi.
No, you can do that on your own dime. You did nothing but look.
Whatev. How'd, uh, move-in day go?
Good, went well. Except for me having to convince her
that I'm actually happy about her moving back.
Ouch.
What?
You got that girl's number at the park, didn't you?
What? No.
Ben?
What?
I'm gonna tell your mother.
I've met her, I've met your mom, she loves me.
She'll believe anything I say.
There's nothing to tell. I didn't get her number.
I'm--I'm a happily girlfriended man.
You talked to her for five solid minutes.
I'm sure she was just hideous.
I don't know.
A beast.
She very well could have been.
Could have looked like you for all I know.
You wish.
Oh, dude, did you show her the magic trick?
No, I did not try the magic trick. I don't care--
Why not?
I don't care if it works. I'm not doing--I'm not--
It always works.
I'm not becoming that guy.
It works every time.
What works?
Start it?
Uh, yeah, seems to be.
It was working just fine until you showed up.
Good to know.
So you'll take it in tomorrow?
I still don't know why you didn't just call me for a ride to work, man, I'm like--
How are you gonna give me a ride?
You barely fit on your moped.
Okay, Amy, you're obviously bad luck.
Get 50 feet from the premises.
Ben,
let's start this car. We can do this, go team.
Okay.
You don't deserve this bike.
Someone should take this bike away from you.
Hey!
Uh.
You okay?
Uh, um, I'm okay.
Well, you know, I'm pretty good at making people forget about their bad dreams.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
What is that-- is that your superpower?
Superpower?
Yeah, well, are you the nightmare destroyer?
Uh, all right, I guess.
And that happened one time with one person.
That's just a stupid thing to say.
Okay, Tammy, let's not get back into the affair, at least not for right now.
What about him makes you feel he's absent?
He doesn't look at me the way that he used to.
It's like he's replaying a movie in his head or something.
I have a stressful job.
You're a butcher!
You try carving animals up all day and tell me it doesn't affect you!
There was a pig yesterday that reminded me of Harrison.
I'm sorry, um, who's Harrison?
Cat.
Our cat.
May I ask something?
Uh, Tammy, when you feel like he is absent,
are you worried that maybe he's thinking about the woman he had an affair with?
I don't know, maybe.
Maybe these issues are connected.
We're gonna need some more friends for Texas hold 'em, you know that?
Eh. I got plenty of friends, man. They all just think they're too cool for poker night.
Hmm. What are they doing that's so cool right now?
Knowing those guys, probably off playing tug-a-bros.
What is tug-a-bros?
Oh, it's great. It's when two dudes--
No! Just-- I don't want to hear about it.
Oh yeah, you're married, that's right.
I'm not marr-- I'm not even engaged.
You've discussed when this is gonna happen though.
Well, kind-kind of, yeah.
You have a date picked out.
Yeah, well, March of next year was--
it was thrown around out a little bit but--
A particular Saturday in March?
The tenth.
You're married, dude.
That's good though, I'm glad, I'm glad for you.
I'm glad things are good.
There's one, maybe one slight problem but problem's maybe too strong of a word.
You like dudes.
No.
Big hairy dudes.
It's, uh, the girl.
I keep having this dream about her, like, not like--
just a dream about her, it's like the same dream though, like, every night.
Stop dreaming about her.
Doesn't seem to be that easy.
Do you love Amy?
Yeah.
Then quit dreaming about park girl.
You've been together what, six years?
She's gorgeous and she is cool as hell.
And you've got a sweet job working for her dad.
Just
hold it together.
I will--okay, I'll hold it together.
Hold it together, Ben.
I'm holding it. I'll stop, I'll stop dreaming. Let's-- yeah.
Okay, and checkmate.
It smells nice in here.
So your grandma's cool with us using her place as a poker den?
She's out of town for like 3 months, I rule the roost.
All right.
Well, fix me a vodka prune.
I can do a vodka prune.
Nice.
Coming right up.
Hmmm.
Why are you so old?
I mean, I should have winned by now 'cause I took your king.
Honk, honk.
Hey. I know you.
Yes, wow.
Hi.
How's your knee?
What? Oh, my knee, it's fine. Yeah.
I assumed it gave out again
and you spent the last few months in a cast or something.
Yeah. I did, it's been brutal. Do you live around here?
No. Actually I just moved up to Sacramento.
Oh, so what are you-- what are you doing here?
I guess that is kind of weird, isn't it?
I guess I jogged like 300 miles.
Okay. Oh, well, as confusing as that is,
it's, uh, it's good to see you again in person.
Usually it's through long lens photography... ?
Yeah. No, I--um--
This is gonna sound stupid.
No, no, you can sound stupid in front of me, I'm basically a stranger.
Okay. Uh, well, I've just have been having this recurring dream
where you're shooting hoops in the park.
So I mean, I don't know why, it's just--
it's weird I know, we just met the one time
but I'm sure the trauma of like a bike accident, you know,
and being laughed at by a pretty girl which was fine but...
Hello?
Oh, no, I'm coming now, I'm sorry.
Uh, I'll be there in like 10 minutes.
I know.
I'm just going for a jog, I ended up in L.A.
Okay, well, what time are you gonna get there?
Hey, next time, you let him steal your bike.
Who's that? Ben, who is that?
Ben?
What?
You're up.
Forgot you gave me a key?
Good thing you didn't have some hussy in your bed, huh?
Yeah.
I made breakfast, blueberry pancakes.
Oh, I have pancake stuff?
Well, I brought the blueberries.
I figured if you're taking me to a fancy restaurant, I should make you breakfast.
Yeah, what's the difference between Zopiclone and Drixoral?
Hello, just thought you might be a girl that gave me her number in a dream last night.
Sorry to bother you, sir.
No, I'm not insane.
Have a nice day.
Ah, screw it.
Hi, this is Nadia.
Please leave a mess--
Perfect timing. Oh, my God.
I saw that.
No, you didn't.
Yeah. We're meeting here so you can propose?
Yeah--not here, here, like in the restaurant for lunch, here as a surprise.
I'm sorry.
I'm totally blowing it.
I mean, I was kind of expecting it anyway, but this is really blowing it.
It's fine. Let-- we-- just-- we can forget this ever happened,
we can just-- we can have lunch or talk and another time we'll do this.
You're so flustered.
Of course I'm flustered, you caught me, you saw the box.
Now you're gonna have to act surprised in there.
Well, then just do it some other time.
Well, now you're gonna know, you're gonna like expect it if I take you anywhere.
No, I won't.
You will if I bend down to tie my shoe or something, you'll freak out.
Then just do it now.
What, just-- what here?
Yeah.
This is gross, this--there's a trash can. It's not very romantic.
Really, I don't care, I just want to see the ring now.
-Really? -Yeah.
What are you doing?
What?
You can't just whip it out!
Oh, right. Of course, sorry. Okay.
Um,
all right.
Amy, the last, uh, six--
the last six years, um, of my, uh--
I had this planned out, I promise.
It's okay.
Um, it'll come back to me inside, I'm sure it has to.
Does the concrete hurt your knee?
A little.
Yeah.
Amy, will you marry me?
Yes, yes, yes. Oh, my God, I love it.
Aww.
Yeah!
There he is.
Here I am.
You're a good man.
Well, thank you.
Have you ever had a really good scotch?
No.
Sit down.
So what do you think about taking over my practice?
What?
I know I said that I thought I had a few more years in me, but lately, I don't know.
Well, I-I would love to, I don't expect it or anything.
Susan's getting antsy, she's talking about living in Europe or something.
I'm not there, but I do want to travel.
Well, I'm shocked.
You're not that shocked, you know I've been grooming you for this.
I can't think of a better person to hand the reins to.
You should grow some scruff or something, though, so people take you more seriously.
Okay. I'll try.
So...
is she the girl of your dreams?
Uh... I'm sorry. Let me...
These freaking cell phones.
Hello?
Hey, I missed a call from this number.
Uh, this is Ben. You gave me your number yesterday-- er, last night.
I did? Um...
That's the thing. I'm not-- I'm not exactly sure how, um...
You know, I think you have the wrong number.
So let me get this straight.
Goofy girl from the park shows up in your dream
and gives you her phone number,
and you are crazy enough to remember it and call her when you wake up today.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
And you believe it was her that answered the phone
even though whoever that was said she was not her.
But her voicemail said Nadia.
Voicemail?
'Cause voicemail is the word of God. Remind me,
did you not just get engaged to be married - today - to the lovely Amy Randall?
Yes, that was also today.
Okay. So that's that.
Okay. But what are the odds that I would just randomly call a Nadia?
No, no, no, no more dream girl stuff, all right?
Just what are the odds? What are the odds?
In Sacramento, one in 2,500.
But what are the odds that you would get a stranger's correct phone number
while you're in REM sleep and your girlfriend's in the next room
cooking you blueberry pancakes,
what are those odds? One in 18 million? Maybe 19 million.
All right, I need to stop.
I gotta-I gotta stop thinking about her, connecting with her.
There's something about her, man, she's like...
basketball and...
Ben, stop that. Did you not get engaged to Amy today?
It was today, yes.
Then why are you here hanging out with me in my grandmother's house?
Dr. Hinton.
Hi.
Hi, Ben.
Um, do you have any time to get together?
Sure. What time?
Like, now?
So do you like doing sessions out of your house now?
Oh, I love it, it's great.
It's so much easier.
Everything okay?
Yeah, I just, uh...
There's something kind of happening.
It's a little different, I guess, I just wanted to--
I thought maybe you'd be a good person to talk to about it.
Sorry.
One second.
Dr. Hinton.
Eddie, are you all right?
Are you having a hallucination?
Do you want me to call 911?
Listen to me, I want you to do me a favor.
I want you to sit down, take a deep breath.
And we've talked about this before, Eddie.
They're not real. Do you think you're gonna be able to make your 4 o'clock?
'Cause I'm with a patient. All right. You'll be okay.
I'll see you at 4 o'clock then. Okay, bye-bye.
Sorry.
If I was your patient and a therapist...
So?
So I... I asked Amy to marry me today.
Oh! Oh, honey! Oh, that's great. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Well, she said yes, didn't she?
Yeah.
Well, try to look excited. Stop furrowing.
Sorry, that's just, you know, it's a big day.
Yes, it is. Oh, James would be so proud of you.
Oh, thanks. You think?
Of course, of course. I wish he was here.
Me too.
You know he was exactly your age when we got married?
Re-- no, I didn't know that.
Mm-hm. So now you finally know what true love is.
Ooh, honey, look at this.
The Paradise Mountain,
a series of graceful arches
invite you through a covered front porch into the large main hall
where the reception takes place.
In the 1940s, the site was a brothel operated by gangster Mickey Cohen.
That was in the '40s, gives it character.
It's in Sacramento?
Yeah.
Hmm, no. I don't like that, that's not gonna work.
What's wrong with it? My aunt lives there.
Yeah, I don't know. Sacramento, it's-- no.
"Where you getting married?" "Sacramento", it sounds-- that's gross.
Okay, well, we could go somewhere more exotic.
Yeah, I don't know, something, it's just--
It's like, it sounds like a body part.
Okay, well, we can keep looking.
Playing horse by yourself?
Hey, asshole, you're gonna kill somebody with this thing.
Seemed like that bike was just getting you into trouble anyway.
I guess.
Ladies first.
Thank you.
Oh. Nice shot.
Thanks.
So you're a shrink, huh?
Yes, I am.
You're taking over for Amy's dad.
Good luck with the new practice.
Yeah, thanks.
Did you always want to do that?
Um...
I don't know.
I went to the army for a few years after high school and then realized I hated it.
That's cool.
And then just kind of fell into psych, I guess.
How about you?
You tell me.
Tell you?
Tell me what I do.
You're a headhunter.
That's right.
Sounds dangerous.
Like hiring people for businesses.
Ah.
Although I could take someone out too if you need it. For the right price.
So why did you say I had the wrong number when I called you?
Well, my boyfriend was next to me.
You're engaged, aren't you?
Yeah.
I am.
So how do we know these things about each other?
You don't see the pattern here?
You're not even here right now.
This bike sucks.
Is Amy keeping you up at night?
Don't answer that.
Okay. All right, well...
I'll call.
Yes, I'm not gonna call.
Okay, I'll call.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
What are you doing?
Uh, just kind of standing here wondering what the hell is going on.
How about you?
Pretty much the exact same thing.
So that was...
So that was you, you were there just a few minutes ago.
Playing horse with you, yeah.
And the guy tried to steal my bike.
But you let him this time.
Right, so you've dreamed times where I didn't let him?
Every night.
How is this happening? I don't-- I don't understand.
I don't know. I gave you my number in a dream and then you called me.
So where are you? Can we, like, meet up or something?
Well, I just moved to Sacramento, remember?
Oh, right. I was hoping that part was just me.
I have to go.
Sure, uh, all right...
Those candles are quite expensive.
You would not believe if I told you what they cost.
So when's everybody else getting here?
Funny you should ask.
I'm very good at magic.
Yeah, I could probably blow your mind with a trick or two.
All right, show me one.
Hold out your hands.
Your taste in décor is...
interesting.
Well, I'm an old soul.
Now
I want you to concentrate very intensely
on how many hands you have.
It should still be two.
Should it?
Uh,
one second, this isn't over.
Give me a second to, uh, take care of something.
Don't you dare. I'm about to put on
a closing move
and you are ruining my life.
Love, Mark.
Yeah, that's all taken care of.
Now where were we?
Mark! Mark, it was-- It was her.
Come on in.
It's her, it was her number. She's in the dreams, she's like with me.
We're like connected, like we read each other's minds
in the dream. Like I know stuff about her and she knows stuff about me.
This is Amanda, by the way.
Oh, hi. I'm Ben.
But, so I called her and it was her number
but she said it wasn't 'cause her boyfriend was there.
Uh, I have an idea.
You should go call your fiancée.
Yeah.
That's-- okay.
It was nice meeting you.
Just wanted you to know it is her number, so I'm not crazy.
Clearly.
Have a nice...
candles.
He's a sweetheart.
Isn't he the therapist?
Yeah, and he's quite good.
Oh, these are beautiful.
Thank you. You know, I really love what I do.
Oh, that's great.
So is it just you or is it like you have a crew of photographers?
Well, we have different photographers
that will follow the bride and some for the groom,
just really depends on what you want,
how many people you have, you know, certain--
Who's that?
I don't know. I'll see.
Sorry.
No, don't worry about it.
But we have different packages you can choose from
but you know you can't put a price tag on the most special day of your life.
You're way too pretty for that.
Hey, you got a delivery.
Uh, yeah.
If you could just sign right here--
Shh, shh, yeah, okay. Thank you.
Right there.
Yeah, I just want to-- I ordered two of these,
I just want to make sure I ordered the right--
Yeah, this is the-- Okay.
Dream suppressors, this is the right one, cool.
Wait, if I just suppress my dreams--
No, I need to control my dreams,
I need to dream about driving a Ferrari or hanging out at the White House
or shooting hoops with a pro basketball player or something, right?
I mean, 'cause if she's still having the dreams
and I'm still having the dreams and I just don't remember,
that's not good-- This makes no sense.
No. If you could just sign right here.
Okay.
I shot that in Santa Barbara.
You know, do you like that backlight?
Yeah, I love everything about that.
It's beautiful. Yeah.
Um, who was that?
Oh, I don't know, just wrong number--
house, wrong house, it was a delivery guy, I don't know.
-Okay. -So do you do engagement photos, too?
Absolutely. And we also love to go to the location you're engaged at.
Did you propose locally?
-Yeah. Yeah. -Yeah.
Great. Where was it?
Just...
parking lot.
Yeah.
You know these photos are also from Santa Barbara as well.
Yeah.
And there's a little different lighting but if you...
Germany came out of the League of Nations in 1933.
Hitler began to systematically undermine
and eradicate the provisions of the Versailles treaty,
the disarmament clauses and been long since abandoned
and Hitler achieved a minor victory
and he withdrew Germany from the League of Nations--
No.
You know, we could meet in other places.
Or do you just love parks and fields?
I kept thinking it was you that must be into them.
Whatcha reading?
An encyclopedia, I guess.
Reading about Nazis?
Apparently.
Okay. That's pleasant.
I do like the letter N though.
Nadia.
Nad--hmm, let me read that.
Nadia,
a strange girl that haunts your dreams. May be armed and dangerous.
It doesn't say that!
It does.
All right, well, let's see what it says about you.
I won't be in there, that's the N book.
No.
It's the B book.
Oh, how did you do that?
Ben, cute, uncoordinated, quit the army 'cause he couldn't take it.
Ouch.
I didn't quit the army, I just got out, soon as I could.
That's right.
So how do we know things about each other?
'Cause we're here.
Where is here, exactly?
I know you.
I've always known you.
Did you ever dream about me as a kid?
Yeah,
I did. I always wondered who you were.
We used to run around on the beach,
in the woods, at the playground.
Did we take over a mini golf course?
Yes. We were, like, 10.
We stormed it and we took it over, we had giant clubs and swords.
All of a sudden there was a moat around it and nobody could get in.
We ran that joint.
We did.
How did it end?
I don't remember. I assume lots of mini golf happened, but...
I wonder how this is gonna end.
Are those your dog tags from the army?
Oh,
yeah, they are.
You've never done this with anyone else before, have you?
No.
This is new.
Trust me.
Eight, nine, ten, eleven...
That's you.
Yeah.
This was my backyard growing up.
Twenty. Ready or not, here I come.
Oh, yeah.
He ditched me.
Who?
My brother.
He locked me out for a long time and I cried.
I'm sorry.
It's all right.
Show me something.
This works.
Is this where you grew up?
Yeah, it is.
Do we get to find a little you in there, too?
I guess.
Come on.
The other dinosaurs eat this one because it--
because it looks like waffles.
Oh, you're adorable.
Just like I remember you.
You really loved him.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
You lost him.
Yeah.
You wanted to serve like he did.
I didn't realize that when I,
when I said that you couldn't take it. I-- I hadn't seen it.
That's okay.
C-can we go somewhere else?
Yeah.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
I wonder what's in our picnic.
You want some?
I don't know, I feel like we're gonna get busted.
Busted?
Yeah, we're both in relationships.
This is a dream, remember? We're asleep.
Don't say that.
What's wrong?
Last time you said that things unraveled and I woke up.
Uh-oh.
You better kiss me.
Yeah.
Why haven't you?
'Cause I know when I do that, there's no going back.
No, no.
-Come on, Ben. -Stop.
Remember when I showed you this at camp?
No, no, no, no.
It's your favorite magic trick.
No, stop.
Where did you go?
Sorry.
How's this even possible?
I don't know.
We only met once.
I need to see you.
Ben,
I don't think--
I know, I just-- I feel like, I just need to see you once more, in person.
Why? You're engaged.
I don't know, there's got to be some reason for this.
You need to live your life, Ben.
I have a life too.
Whatever this is, I'm sure it'll pass and we'll just be able to move on.
All right, well, I gotta get back to work.
Okay.
All right, I guess I'll talk to you...
I don't know if we should keep talking on the phone.
Hey, Harry Wendell has agreed to do the one on one,
he's coming in at 3:00. You good with that?
I'm a leader at my job. I have to do things,
I've got people who look up to me, I have a reputation to uphold.
Sure, well.
Just tell yourself I'd like to do things well but I don't have to.
Okay.
Try saying it.
I'd like to do things well but I don't have to.
How do you feel when you say that?
Still feel like I have to.
Well, let's say if you lost your reputation, then what?
I'd like to keep it.
Sure, but
is that needed for your success?
I suppose.
What makes you successful?
Me?
Yeah, I mean, is it your job, your wife?
Fiancée.
Is it 'cause of the gig here? The old man?
No.
How do you know she's the one?
Umm.
Okay, let's--
I want to get back. Let's not waste your hour.
All right, fine.
Have you gotten in touch with your mom?
No.
Hi, sorry. I just have to grab... one thing...
Oh, hey, we were just talking about your daughter.
No, not really.
Yeah, really, we were. That's all we've been talking about.
That is a half truth. We touched on...
Yeah, he certainly touched on your daughter.
Well, it's not my session.
So are you doing this for college credit
or you just always dreamt of being a second rate therapist?
Okay, I...
I need to tell you something.
I want to be married.
I...
I love you, Amy.
It's not my fault, I just--
I didn't choose this. I just-- I-I dream.
I can't control my dreams. You've been...
my partner.
She'll be cool 'cause she loves you and she'll understand and she'll kill you.
Mark's a good friend of mine, so I won't charge you much.
Oh, cool, thanks. I appreciate that.
Mark said you got engaged a few months ago. Congratulations.
I did. Thank you, yeah, it's... great.
So she's giving you trouble, huh?
No, I mean, it's not her, it's completely me.
She's great, I want to marry her, I completely want to marry her.
She's beautiful, she's a wonderful fiancée
but there's this thing happening with this other girl and it's--
No, no, not like hap-- not happening,
I'm not doing stuff, it's like, it's all in the dream.
I don't know what Mark told you exactly but that's--
it's completely like that and I'm gonna stop,
I'm gonna tell Amy everything.
I just have to fess up and then just like see what happens, right?
That's what-- she's my fiancée, I-- You would do-- do it--
would you, would you--
Yeah, no, so I shouldn't, should I not?
I shouldn't tell her.
So she's giving you trouble, huh?
Yes, I think it's the starter.
She'll do that.
All righty, give me half an hour.
We'll see what we can do.
Oh, gotta go, he's here.
Okay.
Bye.
Who was that?
I was talking about my dress which you're not supposed to know about.
Not that I could do it justice.
They're expensive for a reason and trust me, it's worth it.
You want to know how much it costs?
Not really.
Five.
Five, what?
That's a lot, right?
Well, my dad paid for it. So it's on its way.
What, $5,000?
Oh, and he put a deposit down on the location today.
It's non refundable, so can't change our minds now.
Non refundable?
You said you like the Herald Gardens
and the deposit was more than the dress.
Can we go inside?
Why? Do you need to use the bathroom?
No.
Okay. Well, then let's go. I'm starving.
Amy, I've been dreaming--
I just got a picture of my dress.
Oh, you can't see this.
Amy, okay.
Look, before you or your dad spend any more money on this wedding,
you need to understand, there are things
that happen to me that I can't control.
Ben?
There are things...
Ben, don't worry about the money, okay?
My dad is happy to pay for everything.
He loves me, he loves you, he loves us.
Every time you get close to a big thing, you doubt yourself.
Just believe in yourself, okay?
I shouldn't have told you how much the dress costs, I'm sorry.
Okay. It's not about the dress. It's not-it's not the deposit. It's me, okay?
Do you want to get takeout and go over budgets
or do actually want to go out with me?
Hmm?
You waiting for someone?
I feel like I want to say something but...
it's silly, 'cause I don't even know what this is, you know?
You don't have to.
Is this it?
What do you mean?
We...
We can't keep doing this forever.
We're cheating.
Well...
well, no, it's not--
It's not that simp-- I mean, we're--
Look, I don't even-- we're not even really here right now.
Don't say that.
Why?
It's gonna go away.
It won't go away.
We just have to keep moving, remember?
There's something about the way you look at me.
It's so full, like there's so much behind it.
How do I make you feel?
Home.
Wow.
What?
I just-- I was expecting a list of things, it's--
It's perfect.
Why don't you ever ask me about my boyfriend?
I like to pretend he doesn't exist.
This is the only place I see you.
What about when you get married?
When you have kids?
Are we still gonna do be doing this every night?
I don't know.
You need a clarity moment.
That's how all big decisions happen, right?
My grandpa used to say that.
Everything becomes clear in one moment.
And you just know that it's right.
I like that.
I need to let you go, Ben.
What do you mean?
I need to try to dream alone again.
I need to try not to see you anymore.
W-Why? Why would you do that?
You know why.
Goodbye, Ben.
Goodbye? I don't want to say goodbye.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Don't do this.
Nadia?
I'm right-- can you see me?
Nadia?
Come on, Ben, where'd you put your phone?
Where's the phone?
Hey.
Is that my phone?
Who's Nadia?
Uh...
"I felt like I was flying last night."
"I can still feel you."
Okay, I understand, obviously,
it looks like I'm cheating or something, I'm not.
What is it then? There are tons more in here!
I'm not cheating on you.
Yes, you are!
I've seen her once in real life, that's it.
Real life, what does that even mean?
She's... I can't explain it, she's--
Don't bother.
It's not, uh...
look, I'm not saying I'm completely innocent, okay?
I've done--
I-- I'm not cheating on you though, I'm not.
Don't give me that shit. I saw the texts!
You're sleeping with her.
S-sleeping? I'm not sleeping with her.
I've touched her one time on the hand, that was it.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
I mean, I see the way you look at me now and it's not the same.
And I thought you were just nervous about the wedding-
Amy...
-or maybe you didn't know if you loved me.
Amy, I-I'm telling you, I see her when I sleep, that's it.
You can't respect our relationship, obviously,
but you could at least respect me and not treat me like I'm stupid.
Here.
No, you know what?
You cheated on me, I'm taking it. I'll sell it.
Hey, wait, wait. Call, call Mark, he knows.
Don't.
Ben?
Mom, when I came here before and I told you
that I proposed to Amy, there was more.
I was gonna ask you something but I didn't want to.
I thought you would think I was crazy or hallucinating,
like your crazy client, that Eddie guy.
Okay.
I might be crazy, I could be, I could be hallucina--
What do you mean? W-w-what are you hallucinating?
When I sleep, I dream, I connect with-with this girl Nadia
and I'm completely in love with her. And we, like we don't do anything-
-Ben... -it's just--
it's all-it's all in our dreams.
And I completely deserve what just happened to me.
Amy just broke my phone--
Ben, Ben, Ben, slow down.
I'm sorry but this is inappropriate.
These are my office hours.
What? Your office hour-- What are you kidding?
I'm supposed to schedule a session with my mom?
I may have just lost two girls in the period of
-this morning. -Ben.
-I need your help, mom. -Benjamin!
Hey.
I'm Eddie.
If you want to wait till his session is through, then we can talk.
No, I have to get to work anyway.
If I still have a job.
Sorry.
I didn't know if you want me to come in today or not.
I would have called but my phone's broken.
I can explain. It's not what you think.
Just, please leave.
I love her. You know, I screwed up but I do love her.
Who?
I don't know who you're talking about.
Are you talking about my daughter or are you talking about this other woman?
Well, Amy, I love Amy.
There's that look again.
What look?
I should've seen it.
When I asked you if she was the girl of your dreams...
Maybe it is time to retire.
-Look, I-I haven't-- -Just...
I need you to leave.
Thank you.
What?
That's it, just... thank you... for everything.
Oh, hi.
Hey.
Thank you.
Will you sign right there?
Yeah.
Sorry about last time, by the way.
Yeah.
I know what's in these this time.
Good.
Dream suppressors?
No, actually, now I want the dreams.
This is like some kind of sleeping pill on steroids kind of thing,
like supposed to bring on lucid dreaming.
That girl from before is like blocking me out now,
so I'm trying to reconnect with her in the dreams.
I really hope it works.
Sorry I asked.
Come on, sign it.
Great.
Thank you.
Can you see me?
Hello? Can you see me?
I'm sure she's around here somewhere, man.
Yeah, I know. I'll keep looking.
You don't even seem excited. We're shooting hoops.
No, I... I am. Sorry.
You need to get a grip on reality and ease up on the sleeping pills.
You know they're naming these courts after me, right?
What, Nadia's courts?
Do I look like a Nadia?
Hey, Amy, it's me.
I miss you.
I don't know if you get my voicemails but I just wanted to say hi,
and I hope you and your dad are doing well.
Uh, give me a call sometime.
Nadia, number 217.
Hi, I had dreams about a girl, might be you.
And I know this sounds crazy.
If you are the right girl, you will know who I am.
Nadia 218.
She's there, and then she just disappears.
This is when you're asleep though, right?
Yes, yes, as in my dreams, I just--
I get a glimpse of her, and she's gone.
Mm-hmm. You can't call her?
No, I don't have her number.
Amy destroyed my phone
and then by the time I looked at the bill with Nadia's number on it,
she changed it or disconnected it or something.
Can't do a web search for her, you know,
go along look her up, Nadia in Sacramento?
How many could there be?
2,500.
Right.
You know, you look really tired for a dude
who's been dreaming for the last few weeks.
Well, I haven't been sleeping that much.
I was doing the sleeping pill thing, then trying to wean myself.
Got insomnia most of the time, it's a blast.
Ugh. I had insomnia once. I'd watch cartoons to fall asleep.
You say you only met her
one time in real life, right?
Yeah.
How do you know that wasn't also a dream?
So you're saying I just made her up, completely.
I'm not saying it, but it's like, you know,
if that is going to help you move forward, then I'm saying it.
Okay, you know the texts from her broke up my relationship with Amy.
You're saying I bought a phone and a plan and I texted myself.
Well, let's hope not.
Could you stop it? You do this all time.
I'm trying to help my friend here, okay?
If he can get past what's-her-face,
he could get back together with Amy, maybe.
Maybe she's dead.
Amanda--
No, seriously, wait. Her number's changed or gone.
She's not appearing in his dreams anymore,
maybe it's because she doesn't have a choice.
Maybe you're chasing a ghost now or something.
If she were alive, she'd let you find her.
She's dead.
I'm sorry, that's awful. She's alive.
Let's make cookies.
Have you had her chocolate chips?
So what is it you plan on doing?
Wandering the streets of Sacramento,
asking people if they know a Nadia?
What if she's like me?
What if everybody thinks she's crazy
and she's only blocking me out 'cause she thinks I'm getting married?
Okay, Ben, look,
I think Nadia is not what we want to be focused on.
Okay, I don't need a session now, mom.
Okay, I'm not, I'm not,
but we need to concentrate on who is with us now, who is real.
Amy is real.
Amy left me.
Because you--
Sit down.
You were scared to get married, that's not uncommon.
Commitment can be really scary but you have come up with a dream scenario
that Amy cannot possibly live up to.
You need to tell her the truth.
What is the truth?
Well, first you could try telling yourself
that you never met Nadia.
I did meet Nadia.
Try saying it out loud.
I'm not-- I don't-- No, I don't want to do that.
Ben, you know yourself, very well, that when people vocalize something,
it can validate their feelings.
Just try it.
Fine. I never met Nadia.
And that it was all in your head and you created it out of fear.
This was all in my head. I
created it out of fear.
How does that make you feel when you say it?
I miss dad.
What do you think he would tell you?
You know, I made a promise to him...
couple years after he was gone.
What was it?
You don't have to tell me.
And you don't have to listen to me.
But, you went into the army because of your dad
and you became a therapist, I think, in part because of me.
What you need to ask yourself is,
what does Ben want?
What do you want?
Hello?
Amy?
Hey.
Hey, what's up?
What are you doing?
Uh...
just...
Do you... Do you want to get breakfast or something tomorrow?
Breakfast? Um...
I don't know. I'm sorry I haven't called you back.
My dad said I should've let you explain the whole dream thing.
Even though it sounded completely bogus
and something that a cheater would say,
I'd like to see you.
Let's just talk.
Yeah, yeah. Let's do that.
Where do you think you're going?
Got to meet Amy for breakfast, I'm 3 hours late.
Well, your car's broke.
Hey, asshole, now let me get this straight.
When you were trying to stop dreaming about Nadia, you couldn't.
She decides not to see you again and boom, she pulls it off.
Yeah, basically.
Well, girls love to sleep, she's good at it.
Better than you obviously.
Go to Sacramento, find her in real life.
She has a boyfriend, she blocked me out for a reason.
She doesn't want to be a home wrecker.
Right.
Not that there's much of a home to wreck.
Amy dumped you, brutally.
Yes, thank you.
So what, now you're the closest thing I can get to Nadia?
The guy I almost hit in the park?
You're losing in real life and you can't even dream that your car works.
How about dreaming that you win for a change?
I'm trying.
You can dream that you're shooting hoops with a professional basketball player.
So dream that you find her, that she sees you.
That's what I'm trying to do.
Try harder. What are you sitting there with me for?
I don't know!
You probably feel bad for almost killing us on your bike.
She's probably dreaming right now.
Where is she? What does she see?
I mean, focus.
I don't know.
Where is Nadia?
What is she looking at?
Where is she?
She's...
dreaming about when she was on the phone with me.
I gave you my number in a dream and, uh...
and you called me.
But your boyfriend was there?
Yeah.
So where are you? Can we like meet up or something?
Well, I just moved to Sacramento, remember?
Oh, right. I was hoping that part was just me.
Uh,
I have to go.
Well, I'd just like to see you.
But I guess we will.
I guess so.
Wow. Um, well...
Bye.
You're dreaming this right now, aren't you?
She's remembering.
Quit looking at me.
Stop looking at me and him.
It's 10 o'clock.
What, is this thing broken?
I was calling you, you weren't answering.
What happened to breakfast?
Took too many sleeping pills.
What, are you trying to kill yourself?
It's kind of weird being back here.
It's like going back to an old school you had or job or something.
You know, I found that medication you bought,
the dream suppression stuff?
So were you really having weird dreams or something?
I'm sorry.
Well, that's good.
Considering forgiving you.
No.
You--
I'm sorry that
that you moved back here for me.
I'm sorry. It took me six years to tell you this
but I'm not the right guy for you.
I wish I was.
Really?
Could have fooled me since you've been calling me all the time.
I know.
"Amy, I miss you. I want to talk.
Why won't you just please answer your phone?"
I'm sorry, look, I--
And now I finally wanna talk and you're over it?
Okay, great. Let's be over it!
She broke your phone again?
How many times is that already?
I'm going to Sacramento, I'm finding Nadia.
You're going all the way to Sacramento, really?
How are you even gonna find her, man?
Are you just gonna bang on people's doors all day,
until she happens to answer?
I don't know, man.
Come on.
But I've been thinking about it. I'm trying to figure out,
like, is Amy in my head, is Nadia in my head?
Which one is in my head and my heart and like which one to follow.
Maybe Nadia is both.
Or maybe it's Amy versus my head and my heart,
but
if this connection that I have with Nadia is one in a million,
then I got to follow it, right?
I got to go there, I got to follow my heart.
It's how it works.
But what if we're not a statistic?
What if this is the first time this has ever happened to anybody?
You know they put wheels on that thing for a reason, right?
Rolls along right behind you.
But I know with my head that it's completely irrational to go up there
'cause she has a boyfriend and she blocked me out.
Good, my car is still here.
They were threatening to repossess it.
But, it doesn't matter if Nadia is my head or my heart--
Ben, stop.
Just wait a second, dude.
You don't know where this girl lives!
She's got a boyfriend,
she said she can't see you anymore,
and you're so sure about this chick,
you're gonna drive seven hours to maybe
find the girl of your dreams, literally.
And you were about to get into that car without giving me a hug?
Sorry.
If this boyfriend of hers has half the connection with her
that you've got, you'll still win.
Thanks, man.
I love you, buddy.
Love you, too.
Oh, that's not good.
Come on!
That's a shame.
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
I'll figure it out, man. I'll ride, I'll hitchhike.
Come on, I can fix this in 3 hours.
You're not a mechanic.
Well, at least wear a helmet.
Thanks again, I appreciate this.
Hey, no problem. You know, hey, true love, right?
-Sure. -Yeah.
Where should I drop you? I'll take you right to her door.
Uh, I actually have no idea.
No idea?
No.
I'll find her.
I'm gonna feel it out.
You're just gonna feel it out?
Now, w-wait a minute, let me get this straight, now.
You only met this girl once in person,
but you-you keep connecting in dreams
and talking to each other and she gave you her cell phone number
and you called the number from the dream and it worked and it was her, right?
Yeah.
H-how are you supposed to find her?
Where do you want me to take you?
I-I don't know how I'm gonna find her.
You come to Sacramento on a whim from Los Angeles
and you don't know where she lives or where she works or anything?
Are you buying this?
I don't buy it.
I don't think I buy it either.
What's going on?
You got me all upset now, just get out.
Get out.
What? I-I don't feel like this is--
I don't feel like this is the right spot.
Well, I feel like this is the right spot. Am I speaking English?
Yes.
Well, then get out.
All right.
Thanks.
All right, Nadia, where are you?
Come on. Excuse me? Do you know a Nadia?
Have you met a--
Come on.
Excuse me, do you know a Nadia?
Have you ever met-- Do you--
Excuse me, have you-- Do you guys know a Nadia?
-No, no, no. -No, sorry.
Are you guys from around here?
Listen, don't touch her.
Ow, hey, whoa, I'm just asking a question.
I don't care.
-Sorry. -Walk away.
You might have a friend named--
Hey, I said don't touch her.
Stop it, stop, stop!
Come on.
Hey, how's it going?
You don't know if there's a motel or anything around here, do you?
Sure, actually, you go out this way, take a right, two blocks,
there's a boots inn. You can't miss it.
Okay. Two blocks, all right. Well, thank you.
-You have good night, buddy. -You too.
Great,
I lost my wallet.
So what's next? You need 10 bucks just to get through the night?
Try somebody else, pal.
No, man. That's not--
that's not what I'm doing, I actu--
I just had a really long day.
You lost your wallet,
like that's your opening gambit, man?
Like that's how you start this con, right?
You go, oh, I lost my wallet, take pity on me.
I drove up from LA, actually had to hitchhike some of the way,
just trying to meet a girl, actually.
Did I leave my "I give a shit" bumper sticker on the van? Because I don't.
Is this your van?
Yes.
Would it be possible for me to maybe sleep in your van for,
I don't know 20 minutes or something, is that--
Oh, just 20 minutes to nap in my van?
No, you can't nap in my van, that's weird.
That's really crazy. You're crazy.
No, man, I'm not, I'm not crazy.
Back it up, back it up.
Okay, okay.
I have pepper spray.
Bye. Never mind.
Pervert.
A little bright, but comfortable like this. Comfortable…
We came all the way up to Sacramento
and this is what you're dreaming about?
Uh, I'm trying.
-Hey, focus. Focus, focus, focus. -Focus. All right.
Focus on Nadia.
Stop talking.
507 Oakwood. Okay, remember.
Oh.
You okay?
Did you have a bad dream?
I don't know.
Well, you know, I'm pretty good at making people forget about their bad dreams.
What number was it?
A little after 1:00, 1:30.
No, no, no. What's the address?
Address? What address? What are you talking about?
I need-- I need to write something, I need--
Give me a pen, give me a pen.
Your bike sucks.
And he sounds like--
Hey, what's up, man? Oh, give me this.
407, 407.
Yeah, that's me. Yeah, that's me.
This is that stuff I was talking about. You're gonna love this.
407...
She giving you trouble?
Excuse me?
See? This is what I'm talking about.
You can't take notes on your hand, Ben.
No, no, I wasn't taking notes.
Hello? Are you mental?
Uh, sorry.
Told me not to call my mom. Said she was a loser.
What? Hey, I didn't say that.
You called his mom a loser?
No, I didn't say that.
What is he, 26, 27? You're gonna let him take over your practice?
I know, he can barely move a mattress without needing a break.
He smells like onions.
He does smell like onions.
Gross.
Oh, Oakwood! It was 54--
What?
-What? -What are you talking about?
Right, Oakwood! 542 Oakwood!
Oh, I'm sorry. This session is just--
-Disaster. -Disaster.
750, 750.
We're playing 101, 2s and 3s, to 21, you're losing. 17-0.
Yeah. No, stop, it's an address. It's in Oaktree.
It's not an Oaktree, it's Hemlock!
Ben, you're late. Have a seat on the slide.
No, uh-- no. I want to find...
Look, there's no oak here.
Is he on medication?
I think he is, found some weird pills.
Rose, 5-- 507, no.
Ben, do you want help me out? I'm trying to run a session here.
No, I don't want to be a shrink. Will you just call your mom already?
That was rude.
You're having trouble?
4--7--
Having problems?
Honey, have you met Harry?
No, but I'd like to.
This is your daughter?
-Hi. -Hi.
Wow. How tall are you?
6'3", 195.
It's true.
Will you guys stop saying numbers, please?
Got a 1,600 on my SAT.
Really?
Harry runs a hedge fund.
Ben, you're gonna miss the bus.
You can't sleep here.
Hey, that's my bike.
This bike? You know this bike sucks.
Ben, you can't sleep out here.
You can't sleep here.
You can't sleep out here, Ben.
You can't sleep here, Ben.
You can't sleep here!
507, Woodoak. That's it, that's it.
507, okay, remember, remember, Ben.
You can't sleep here.
Sorry.
For 57 years I've been sleeping here, remember that.
Fifty-seven years I've been sleeping here.
Fifty-seven.
Watch it.
Hi. I found you.
Um, sorry, this--
okay, it's late. I want to say something.
On my last day in the army...
I tried to give my sergeant all my stuff,
my gear, my uniforms, everything,
and I tried to give him my dog tags and he said,
these aren't for me.
These are for the love of my life someday.
And I said, how will I know?
And he said, when you don't have to think about it.
With Amy, I almost gave them to her
but I had to think about it and that was the problem.
But with you, I know you must be the love of my life
'cause
I don't have to think about it.
Who are you?
You're just a guy that I met in the park.
This is only the second time I've seen you when I've been awake.
And it's the second time I've seen you and, look,
you don't have to see me
ever again here or
anywhere, but
I made a promise to my sergeant...
and to my father. So
I have to give these to you.
I didn't say I wasn't gonna take them.
I'm single now, by the way, I don't know if you're still--
if you have your boyfriend, if he's...
How could I?
Do you snore?
Yup.
Do you flail around?
Yup, got the jimmy legs.
Jimmy legs? Uh-oh.
What about you?
Well, yeah, I got the jimmy legs.
Jimmy arms,
I even got a guy named Jimmy that wakes me up every 3 hours,
busts into the room. Is that gonna be a problem?
No, no, no problem.
Okay.
I'm also unemployed now.
I quit my job today.
Today?
Yeah.
My plan was for you to support me.
-We're screwed. -We're screwed.
Tell me something I don't know about you.
You know everything about me.
Prove it.
