"Hey I'm sorry bug, it's just that you're taking such good pictures I keep forgetting that you're shooting with that piece of shit camera." "Dad!" "Sorry, piece of crap camera." "We're just gonna have to get you a real camera." "Seriously?" "Seriously." "Yes!" "[Mom from downstairs] I'm home!" "Well that's my cue." "No Daddy don't go, stay just a little bit longer." "I wish I could bug." "There you are, where's your brother?" "Hello Phil." "Hello Claire, I was just leaving." "No Daddy stay for dinner." "Tell him he can stay for dinner, Mom." "I don't think that's a very good idea." "[Young Anna] But Mom!" "I'm sorry Anna, my decision is final." "You'll have dinner with your dad at his house this weekend." "It's a condo, not a house." "At his condo then." "I wish I could stay at your condo all the time." "(whispering) Me too, bug." "Dad said I could get a new camera." "Did he?" "We'll discuss it." "You don't have to discuss it, because Dad said" "I could already get one." "She has real talent Claire." "I'm sure she does." "Just like she had talent for painting, and ice skating, and the drums for that matter." "Then the moment we buy her an expensive piece of equipment, she forgets all about it and she's on to the next thing, we've talked about this Phil." "[Young Anna] This is not like that." "This is different Claire, photography is in her blood." "So is having a hard time with commitment." "[Phil] She doesn't have a hard time with commitment, she needs to find something that she feels passionate about and then have somebody trust her and support her." "I support her, I have a real job where I work all day every day, to support her and her brother." "[Phil] And I don't?" "This is not about you Phil." "The hell it isn't!" "You're unbelievable Claire." "[Phil] Just keep pushing, you're gonna drive her away too." "Your opinion is noted, you may leave now." "You can't dismiss me, this isn't your courtroom." "No it's my home, and if I remember correctly, you know how to see yourself out." "You ruin everything." "I'm sorry you feel that way." "Dinner in five minutes, I picked up Chinese food and got the egg rolls you love." "[Anna] I'm not hungry." "You may leave now." "(anticipatory music)" "Where are you going?" "To Dad's, I assume you'll be all right." "Of course." "Great, just try and stay out of the street." "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault, it's just, you know sometimes I'm thankful when she can't find the words, the ones she has hurt enough." "Careful bug, you don't wanna say something you're gonna regret later." "Well I found some things that I wanna show you." "Oh yeah?" "Yeah." "This." "Oh my God!" "Boy, that brings back memories, I can't believe" "I made you shoot with this piece of shit." "[Anna] Hey I loved that piece of shit." "Yes you did." "And this." "What is it?" "You tell me." "Oh." "Uh" "May I?" "Of course." ""Dear Anna, I'm glad we have each other too." "Sometimes I feel lonelier when I'm surrounded by other people than when I'm actually by myself." "Sometimes being with people who don't understand you can be worse than being by yourself."" "Who wrote this?" "[Anna] You." "What?" "[Anna] Dad, please, I just wanna say thank you." "These letters meant so much to me, when you left..." "I was really lonely." "But then getting these letters and knowing there was still someone around who understood me, someone I could talk to." "It really helped." "Bug." "I love you so much." "But I didn't write this." "Dad, come on." "Who else would come up with the idea to grow a magical mailbox in a garden." "It grew in the garden?" "Dude that's cool." "I don't know what do say." "I wish I wrote 'em." "But honestly I didn't, I'm sorry." "No it's okay, it's just, you know if it wasn't you, who was it, God, I'm lucky I didn't end up on the back of a milk carton." "(laughing)" "It really wasn't you?" "No it really wasn't." "Hey don't worry though, we'll get to the bottom of this." "Oh and by the way, you know, I've got something that I wanted to ask you too." "Yeah?" "Yeah, I've met this woman, do you think that 30 is too young for me to be dating?" "Daddy gross!" "What, oh I've got a better picture." "Gross!" "(guitar music)" "I could use a hand here." "[Anna] I'm on break." "[Brian] That works out well for you." "[Anna] It does today!" "Brian, you're in my light." "[Tim] I'm so sorry." "(laughing)" "Hey banana." "Hi." "Flowers?" "Oh they're for your mom we are officially in contract now." "Right, congrats." "You too." "Thanks, I guess." "That thing is still here?" "Do you remember that?" "Of course, you're the only person I know who tried to grow tomatoes and grew a mailbox instead." "Hey, hey I grew tomatoes too." "Yeah you know I was actually really jealous of that mailbox." "Yeah?" "You had a mysterious pen pal, that's like every 10-year-old's dream." "Right." "So I gotta know, who was it?" "Honestly?" "Hmmmm." "I don't know." "Come on." "Really." "So it's still a mystery?" "I kinda love that." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "That's because you don't have to think about some freaky psychopath stalking you as a child." "(laughing)" "I wouldn't worry about it too much." "It was obviously somebody that cared about you a lot." "In a non, freaky sort of way." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "So I'm going to this thing on Friday night at an art gallery in Northeast." "Some friends of mine are having a big opening, would you wanna come?" "Yeah, I mean, yeah, if I can." "Great, I'll text you the details." "Okay." "I should go deliver these." "Wait, smile." "(camera clicking)" "How was it?" "Good." "[Tim] Bye banana." "Hi there." "Hey." "Oh an old 110." "What do you have on there, the moon landing?" "[Anna] I don't know." "♫ Baby tell me" "♫ What's on your mind" "♫ Don't assume" "♫ That I am blind" "♫ Baby, tell me, tell me, tell me" "♫ What's on your mind ♫" "[Claire] You look beautiful." "Thanks Mom." "I made a list, I thought we could go through it when you get home tonight." "Mom you already gave me that list." "No I didn't." "Mom you did, we've been using to pack for two weeks." "We have?" "Of course, of course we have, I just wanted to double check and make sure we'd gone over it together." "Are you sure you're okay, do you need me to stick around tonight?" "Don't be ridiculous." "You're sure?" "Yes, Anna, I'm sure, I'm not a child who needs to be babysat, I'm fine." "Okay, I'm just asking." "And make sure you're home by midnight, your curfew is still..." "Intact." "Enjoy yourself." "(distant relaxed club music)" "(relaxed club music)" "(crowd chatter and club music)" "Anna you look, wow." "Thank you, so do you." "It's so good to see you." "I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." "Really?" "Yes, seeing you in the garden, talking about my letters, it was like a dream." "Your letters?" "Of course." "You didn't know?" "I was too shy to tell you how I felt back then, so I had to write it." "I have been waiting all this time." "For me to figure it out." "For you." "[Female voice] Excuse me." "(relaxed club music)" "(crowd chatter and club music)" "Anna you look, wow." "Thank you, so do you." "Anna this is Ayla, and this is her gallery." "Oh, oh I thought..." "Never mind." "It's beautiful." "Thank you." "I'm always a little suspect of the word beautiful, it's so, weighted down with heteronormative expectations, but I think I know what you mean." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Tim says that you two grew up together." "Yeah, um" "I gave Anna her first gig." "[Both] The Harriet Herald." "It was a neighbourhood newsletter." "And now Anna is a real photographer." "Really, what's the focus of your work?" "Oh I don't know that, I'm not that focused." "Ironic right?" "Photographer who has a hard time to focus." "Anyway, um I actually illustrate over the photographs that I take to change the feel or the focus of a scene." "That's so interesting." "Maybe we could have a couple of your pieces here." "What do you think babe?" "That is an amazing idea, you are so sweet." "Oh..." "[Both] Sorry." "[Ayla] I forgot where I was for a minute." "So uhm, I'm sorry, you guys are?" "Oh, Sam and Steve are here, they're two of our biggest supporters, do you mind if I steal Tim away for just a minute to say hello." "Sure." "I'll just be a minute, I'm so glad you're here, it means a lot." "Of course." "Red or white?" "Yes." "(upbeat club music)" "It's beautiful isn't it?" "That's what I said." "So that takes us to like eighth grade right, and eighth grade is when it really got bad because that's when Betsy showed up into the picture, and once Betsy was in the picture, he stopped talking" "to me pretty much altogether because she didn't want me at their lunch table, which was like, hey, do you guys know Brad." "It's Matt." "Brad is a great listener." "Say hi, Brad." "[Bartender] Hi, can I get you anything?" "A beer." "Don't you think it's beautiful." "(electronic music)" "[Anna] Can I talk to you for a minute?" "Sure what's up." "I know." "What do you mean?" "I know you wrote the letters." "Anna, have you been having a little too much to drink?" "Yes, but that's not why I'm saying this." "Banana..." "No, I, I know you wrote the letters because you're scared to tell me that you love me, so I'm gonna tell you first." "Tim, I love yo..." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Anna." "I don't think we're on the same page here." "No, Tim we are." "We are, we're the same." "You know, you uh, you don't wanna be a realtor." "You wanna be a journalist." "I don't wanna take pictures of other people's weddings." "We, um, we had big dreams and we compromised because we were scared of failing, but we don't have to be scared of this, I love you Tim." "[Anna] I love you." "And I've got a box full of letters that say you love me too." "Anna, I..." "[Anna] Tim!" "No, no, I, look, I..." "I did not write those letters, I didn't." "But I do love you Anna, I do, and I always will, just as a friend, okay?" "No." "No, not okay." "Tim you love me, please." "Anna I'm, I'm sorry." "No, no, no, no, no sorry!" "No this isn't happening, this is, this is not real." "Let me drive you home." "No!" "No this isn't happening, this isn't real, no, no." "No, no, no, no to that." "No to you." "No to you, no to you." "No, no to this exhibit." "[Tim] Let me drive you..." "No!" "No." "(snoring)" "Oh God..." "[Anna] Ow!" "(groaning)" "(water running)" "Mom?" "Mom?" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom, Mom!" "Here's the living room." "Nice railings they were a custom design, rod iron, we have the dining room right here with newly painted walls." "[Anna] Mom!" "We used it in the kitchen as well." "Oh you're not my mom." "No." "Anna this is Tammi, our realtor." "What are you talking about, Tim is our realtor." "[Brian] Tim was our realtor, he called this morning and said that he didn't think it would be appropriate to work with us any longer." "He did not." "[Brian] He did, did he say anything to you about it?" "Whatever it was, it must've been pretty bad because he's leaving a huge commission on the table." "It's not actually that big a deal, I've had this happen several times before, and I am thrilled" "to help you close this deal." "There are just a few things we need to go over..." "Tammi, I'm sorry Tammi is it?" "Tim should be the one doing this, I didn't mean to..." "He shouldn't have to..." "Are you okay?" "Is your sister also?" "Tammi could you give us a minute?" "Of course, I'll just head into the kitchen." "[Brian] Great." "What's going on?" "You look awful, did you sleep in that dress?" "[Anna] No, yes." "[Anna] I gotta go." "Anna no hang on, you can't just keep leaving, we have work to do, where's Mom?" "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know?" "I mean I just woke up and she's not here." "Are you kidding me?" "When did you last see her?" "I don't know, last night before I left." "You left her alone in the house last night?" "Yeah, she said she'd be fine." "[Brian] She said she'd be fine?" "What the hell Anna!" "Why do you think you're here?" "[Brian] She's not fine." "She's never going to be fine again." "I know, I'm sorry, what do you want me to say?" "[Brian] I don't want you to say anything, I want you to step up and actually do something." "Well I'm here, aren't I?" "Yes to take care of our mother, not the other way around." "She has never taken care of me." "Are you kidding me?" "Ever since their divorce it's been all about taking care of Anna all the time." "It has never been about me." "[Brian] It's always about you." "It is not." "Wake up Anna!" "Do you remember my eighth birthday?" "It was a slumber party." "Not really." "Do you remember that time you ran away?" "Yeah." "Same night." "When Mom couldn't find you, all of my friends' parents came at like 11 o'clock at night to pick them up so we could go searching for you." "I cried myself to sleep in the back of the car." "Because I ruined your birthday." "No, because I was worried about you." "Brian, I'm sorry, I need..." "I don't care about what you need anymore." "I care about finding Mom." "Okay I'm coming with you." "[Brian] No, I think you've done enough already." "No." "You left the water running." "You wanna be careful about things like that." "You don't want a flood before closing now, do we?" "Hello?" "(suspenseful music)" "[Brian VOICEOVER] You left her alone in the house last night?" "We have?" "[Brian VOICEOVER] She's never going to be fine again." "[Mom VOICEOVER] Your responsibility, you're shirking, you are shirking your responsibility." "[Brian VOICEOVER] Why do you think you're here?" "[Mom VOICEOVER] I don't need to cool off Anna, and I don't need your help, now go to your room." "[Brian VOICEOVER] Do you remember my eighth birthday?" "Do you remember that time you ran away?" "[Mom] Anna?" "Anna!" "Mom, Mom!" "Where have you been?" "[Mom] You missed your curfew." "Mom I'm not a kid anymore, I, I didn't run away." "[Mom] You always run away." "Because you push me." "[Mom] I'm trying to protect you." "From what?" "[Mom] From me." "When your father..." "You were so angry with me, I tried to talk to you" "I tried to be with you, but, I didn't know what I was doing." "[Mom] You blamed me when your father left." "And..." "I blame myself." "I failed, and when you ran away, I failed again." "I failed at being a mother just like I failed at being a wife." "[Mom] I'm not asking for sympathy, I just, I'm trying, to explain this to you while I still can." "I loved you." "I love you." "I was trying to show you..." "[Brian] Mom!" "[Brian] Mom!" "Brian." "[Brian] What are you doing here?" "I didn't know how to get home." "(sad music)" "Moon landing right?" "[Anna] Right." "Have a good one." "[Anna] Thanks." "(sad music)" "[Brian] Hey Anna." "[Anna] Have you been playing with my mailbox?" "[Brian] No." "Are you lying?" "No." "I told you not to play with my mailbox, it's private!" "I didn't touch your stupid mailbox, but not just because it's yours, because it's a federal offense to tamper someone else's mail." "Nerd." "Anna?" "Yeah?" "Are you okay?" "Why wouldn't I be okay?" "You ran away." "So, big deal, kids run away all the time." "Are you gonna do it again?" "I don't know, maybe." "Don't, it scared me, and it made Mom really sad." "Whatever." "(sad music)" "[Claire] Be careful now, don't drop that." "I'm not gonna drop it Mom." "Jesus this thing must way a thousand pounds!" "Don't use hyperbole Brian, it's unnecessary." "Can I help you Mom?" "No, I'm losing my mind, not my balance." "[Anna] Here you go Mom." "Thank you, oh." "I remembered." "I packed you, oh shoot." "For the road, I packed..." "Snacks?" "PBJ." "[Anna] Thanks Mom." "[Mom] You're welcome, drive safely." "I will." "Take care of yourself." "I'll do my best." "(drum beats)" "(playful music) (laughing)" "[Young Anna] You're it!" "Take care." "Hang on, just a second I made you something." "You did?" "Yeah it's not like a big thing or anything, but uh, here you go." "[Brian] Wow." "[Anna] I hope it's okay." "Yeah, I mean." "It's more than okay, this is uh..." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Hug the twins for me." "Will do." "Thanks again." "You're welcome."

"The winds of change are blowing hard here in Chicago." "You'll be happy to know that I actually finished those weddings photographs, and I think that even" "Michael liked them." "[Bree] We love them, love them!" "[Anna VOICEOVER] And you were right, it felt really good to commit to the project and see it through to the end." "[Bree] Okay, bye!" "[Anna VOICEOVER] That said, I think this was my last wedding, at least for a while, I'm still hoping for that coffee shop show, and I've been doing a lot of paintings," "so that I'm prepared." "How's your new home?" "I hope that the space feels like your own and that you like your new neighbors." "Brian said that the twins love visiting and swimming in the pool, pretty swanky."
