Are you talking to me?
You need to move!

Told you to move, didn't I?
Tide's coming in.
Didn't know I could make it here.
You know, most people dress a little more beach-y
if they're gonna stand right by the ocean.
Just saying.
Well, the truth, lady, is I came out here
trying to get a better cell signal.
And to take in all this beauty.
Excuse me?
You came to take in all this beauty
because you wouldn't come to a place like this
and still only care about a cell signal.
Yeah, I'm just not a...
a big fan of the ocean.
Why not?
Kind of personal reasons.
Okay.
Would you happen to know where I could get
a cell phone charger around here?
Ah, you could try Ouzo Electronics on Main, but it closes at 5:30.
What, 5:30?
Yeah, it's off-season.
Everything's shut except for the ice cream shop.
You're in the wilderness now.
Yeah, tell me about it.
I haven't seen you around before.
Ah, I'm just staying at a friend's place for the weekend.
And is this friend age-appropriate?
[chuckles] Excuse me?
What does that mean?
Maybe you're one of those guys
that seduces the rich old ladies for their summer homes.
I seem like the type?
Maybe. Not sure yet.
You pegged me.
You know, although ladies can't resist me,
and my wet pants.
No, she's totally age-appropriate.
And she's just a friend.
She's, in fact, an acquaintance, really.
I don't... I don't even know her, actually.
You know, this is the longest conversation
I've had with anyone face-to-face in weeks.
Going to a party later. You should come.
I don't think I was invited.
I think you just were.
It's your party?
I know the person throwing it.
I could put you on the guest list.
I don't know.
Guest lists, they kinda stress me out.
Plus, I just, you know, I came out just to get away.
I was gonna get back and decompose.
"Decompose"? Really?
[chuckles] I mean, decompress.
Plus, she's got a cat that I gotta look out for.
It's...
It's not my cat.
It's hers.

But now, it's melting!

[exhales]
You say you lost your wallet?
Look, I don't even care about the ice cream.
I just came in here to try and use the phone so that I can call a cab,
which is irrelevant now because I don't have a wallet!
Do you need the freezer too?
No!

So you wanted an ice cream to make you happy?

Yeah, it could be quite confusing

Okay. Why not?
Because how do I know that once we're in an enclosed space,
your maleness won't take you over?
Because it won't.
It's a three-minute trip.
Male lust is swift and unpredictable.
Okay, look.
- Can I have a dollar then? - I knew it.
Come on! Oh, come on.
[instrumental music playing]
Here's your fuckin' dollar, ass.
Hey! Hey!
Hey, get back here.
- Oh. - Get back! Get back here.
- Get back! Get back here! - Shit!
Get back here!
You've got to be kidding me!
Jesus! You serious?
Stop chasing me!
It was just a dollar!
Get back here!
Jesus Christ.
Son of a bitch is fast.
[woman] Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody out there?
You've got to be kidding me.
I'm helping out a friend. He's been depressed lately.
- Watch that rock. - [yelps]
- Are you okay? - Yep. Yep.
What's your name?
- Alex. - I'm Hope.
I somehow got turned around tonight.
I've been to Raphael's tons before.
Shouldn't he have come picked you up?
Oh, nah. Raphael can't see very well at night.
And watch the loose gravel, okay?
Thank you.
Yeah, but still, he could have called you a cab or something.
Nah, I like getting there myself.
And we wouldn't have met, right?
I mean, is it safe for someone like you to do this?
[laughs]
What?
I started going blind when I was three, Alex.
Jesus.
Did you understand what was going on?
Well, my dad said it was like I was in this boat,
and I'd fallen out of it into the water,
and the boat was never coming back.
- Rock. - Thanks.
So he told me I needed to learn how to swim.
Not having a boat didn't make me weaker.
I didn't need a boat to get across the ocean.
Sounds like a great dad.
He was, Alex.
He died when I was six.
Yeah, my dad died when I was young too.
Was he sick?
No.
No, he was swimming at the beach.
It was a rip tide.
Nothing we could do.
Whoa. You were there?
Yeah.
Yeah, I was there.
Jesus.
How do you ever get over a shock like that?
Well...

Hey. Rock Positano.
Alex.
What did you think of the show, Alex?
It was great, really.
"Singing reflects a state of balance.
It is the audible resonant reality of our existence."
John Lennon said that.
Guy was a genius.
You know about him?
About John Lennon?
Obviously I know about the Beatles.
[laughs] Professor John Lennon.
Emporia State University.
Oh! Okay. Yeah...
I mean, did you think I'd...
Come, have a seat.
Okay.
I appreciate you fitting me in, Dr. Positano.
Please, call me Rock.
So, what have you got there, Alex?
Let me see.
Some plantar fasciitis along the plantar medial heel.
Not too severe.
Not yours.
No. It belonged to a woman I met on the beach.
She invited me to the party, and...
I think it was your party.
You think?
She didn't tell you?
No.
I told her I didn't wanna go.
Why?
Because I always say no.
Strange thing for you to just pick up, you know.
I know.
But there was a...
There was a connection between you two.
I don't know. It was...
We only talked for like five minutes, but...
But?
I just should have said yes.
So this was your second chance.
Well, I put names on the bottoms
but it's rubbed off. I mean...
I make thousands of these.
I have no way of finding her from this.
Okay.
Put 'em up.
- Excuse me? - Your feet.
- Ah. - On my knees.
Do you know how hard it is to get an appointment with the Rock?
Doll will be good to us, Alex.
Mm-hmm.
Oh.
Huh.
Well?
Nice arches.
You ran track at school.
Uh, cross-country. You can tell that?
I hope so by now.
You're 35?
I just turned 34.
Hmm. Came on them all?
I've been on my feet all night.
- This feels... - Pretty good, right?
Spectacular.
So now you want me to tell you
what happens next for you, don't you?
You can see that from my feet?
That would be a very creative diagnosis.
Fate left you a footstep.
You made the unusual choice to pick it up.
That's good, Alex.
But now,
you need to let it take you wherever it takes you.
But I thought it was supposed to take me here.
You know a person called the Master of the Winds?
Master of the Winds?
The Master has a biker bonfire
every Saturday on the beach outside Amagansett.
Maybe you should go.
How will going there help me, Rock?
The way this has been worn down,
it belongs to a biker, Alex.
♪
Hey.
Tall dark strange guy.
How you been?
Good night?
[man] It's been okay.
Feels like it's been a year since earlier.
Yeah.
[Alex] I think I walked ten miles tonight.
You go this way now.
You wanna come?
Nah.
These bikers, are they...
dangerous?
[instrumental music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
You ride?
Yeah.
Yeah, I ride...
bikes.
I'm supposed to meet somebody here, but...
I'm in the wrong place. I'm sorry.
[woman] Perhaps I can help you.
Oh, I don't think so.
Hey.
Are you the Master of the Winds?
You can call me Anais.
[chuckles]
Wait.
Were you the one that was honking at us on the road before?
No.
Yeah, that was me.
So where was it you were so eager to get to, Alex?
It must have been very important.
It wasn't.
So many of us race our whole life
to nothing.
Where we all end up,
there's no peace to see.
You've been on a journey tonight, yes?
Right.
Did you find what you're looking for?
Can't say I did.
But the journey is still a journey.
Here, voila!
Did you ever see The Last Streetcar in Marseilles?
I don't think so.
That was our favorite musical.
My dad's and mine.
It's got Catherine Deneuve.
It's about streetcar operator.
Okay, I know that film.
I always wondered why the world wasn't...
filled with all that music.
Hmm.
What?
