The Affair

Mind if I split?

Sure.

All yours.

Hi.

Hi.

Oh, god.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

It was nice to meet you.

Hello, friend.

Hello, friend.

Have you been swimming already?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, Jesus.

I don't think we have time.

Mom!

Oh.

Are you awake?

- Oh. - Mom.

When is she going to college? - 12 years.

Mom!

- Oh. -

Where's my shoe?

Have fun loading the Van.

Nice ass.

You packed?

- Yep. - You excited?

You're hiding it well, but I can tell that you are.

I want to stay here for the summer.

I know.

I want to go to league camp.

Well, next summer, if you get that gpa up,

you can stay and go to league camp.

That's ridiculous.

Why is that ridiculous?

You said I can go to league camp.

If you get your grades up.

You seem to have forgotten the second clause of the contract.

It sucks at grandpa's.

- That's not true. - It is true.

Martin, your grandfather has a swimming pool,

two tennis courts, and a sauna on his property.

It categorically does not suck.

You suck.

That's a more defendable hypothesis.

Oh, shit. I've been looking for that.

No, wait!

That was not my fault.

I believe that it was.

Trevor, come here a second.

What are you gonna read this summer?

Come on, man,

you got three glorious, uninhibited months ahead of you,

and you got a whole bookshelf in front of you.

Pretty soon you're gonna be 9,

then you'll be 10, then you'll get a job,

then you meet a girl, and then you'll have kids.

You will never have the chance to read for pleasure

ever again.

Seize this opportunity, little man.

Oh, not that one.

- Why not? - 'Cause you're too young.

But I want to read dad's book.

Well, when you're older.

Why? Is it dirty?

No. It's derivative.

Told you not to read the reviews.

You were right.

Mr. Solloway, hi.

Thanks for coming in.

Not like I had much of a choice.

Well, we'll try not to take up too much of your time.

I'd like to begin by asking you a few questions

about how this whole mess got started.

Morning, daughter.

Good morning, father.

Is that all right with you?

It's a free country, pal. Ask away.

You need your sunglasses in the car?

I'm breaking them in.

All right, you think we got everything?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah?

Okay.

Here we go. Hop in.

Where's Martin?

He's still in the house, isn't he?

I don't think so.

Shoot. Here.

Martin!

Martin!

So can you tell us a bit about who you were back then...

Mr. Solloway?

I don't understand the question.

What exactly do you want to know?

Martin!

Anything you think is relevant.

How were you feeling about your life?

Fine. Fine.

Martin! Come on, dude! This isn't funny.

Everyone's waitin' on you.

Can you say a little more?

Great. I was feeling great, you know?

My children were healthy. My wife was beautiful.

My life was pretty fucking perfect.

Jesus!

Jesus!

Christ.

It's okay.

You're fine.

Martin, it's okay.

Oh, Jesus.

What the fuck?

Jesus.

Get up! - Ow, dad!

What the fuck?! - Come on, get out.

Get in there. Get in there.

What is wrong with you?! - It was a joke.

Oh, you think that's funny. You think killing yourself is...

I didn't kill myself.

I faked a hanging. It's totally different.

It was really hard to figure out.

I had to look it up online.

Are you insane?

Take that off. Take it off. - Ow.

Take it off.

Everyone's in the car waiting for you.

Is it so much to ask that for one day,

one day in your entire life,

you think of somebody other than yourself?

I thought you'd be proud of me.

Dude.

What is goin' on with you?

Last summer you were this happy guy.

What happened?

Come on.

Let's go before your mother comes up.

I hate grandpa.

I know, so do I.

Look at it this way. At least you stand to inherit

some of his money when he dies.

I won't take a penny of it.

Martin, I'm a public school teacher.

- So? - Take the money.

- Is everything okay? - Ow!

Hey, careful. Everything okay?

It's fine.

What happened?

He couldn't find his bathing suit.

Oh, I packed it for you, honey.

One, two, three, four. That's all of 'em, right?

Yep, that I know of.

Whit, can you please take those off inside?

I'm sure I can.

Hey! - Where were you last night?

I was at Courtney's.

What were you doing at Courtney's?

Hey, what can I get you all?

- We were studying. - Really?

- I'll have the burger. - Really.

- Studying for what? - For the s.A.T.S.

That test is in November.

- Something to drink? - Surprise me. Something stiff.

You know, your father and I aren't morons.

We know what it looks like

when someone's been smoking pot.

Oh, my god. First of all, no you don't.

Because I've been high, like, 50 times in the past year,

and you have never noticed. - Excuse me?

And second of all, is there anything on this menu

that's under 1,000 calories? - Probably not, no.

That's what I thought. I'll just have a diet coke.

Oh, for god's sake. Now, hold it.

Do you have a salad or... - Forget it. I'm not hungry.

- Well, you have to eat. - Can I have blueberry pancakes,

please? - Excellent choice.

Look at it this way... if she's not hungry, she's not high.

Oh, my god.

I could get the cooks to make you an egg white omelet.

Fine.

Captain hook!

Oh, that's right.

Yeah, we have those at home. Thank you.

I'll have a lobster roll, please.

- Okay. - Noah?

I... a lobster roll, too, please.

Thanks. - You guys here on vacation?

- Certainly are. - For how long?

All summer, actually.

Well, welcome to the end of the world.

I'll go get these drinks.

Do you remember the first time you saw her?

Like it was yesterday.

What do you remember?

I remember her face, asshole.

What do you want me to remember?

- Noah? - That's the one

with the spikes. - Noah. Noah!

Is she choking? -

- Stacey. - Shit. What did she eat?

- All right, baby, come here. - Oh, my god!
