ANNA: He's coming. He is!
MAYA: I brought him my Thursday pill, look.
ANNA: Hi. How are you?
I'm your neighbor from down the street.
How are you?
‐ Good. Is this the wrapping paper project?
Because I'm cooking something.
I get all my gift wrapping at the Christmas Tree shop, so...
‐ This is for the Walk for Cancer.
‐ Yeah and it's through
my Unitarian Church in Conchamaguet.
Um, we're just selling luminaries.
So if I can just have another moment of your time.
"You can choose a message for your survivor

Oh, my God. ‐ What are you doing?

‐ Geez. ‐ Ha!

You've, like, done it three times.

Did D answer yet?
'Cause he said he was going to be here at three.
Steve. ‐ Steve.
I'm still waiting for his page. ‐ Okay.

you will make it impossible. ‐ [laughs]

MAYA: Shwank! Got your beeper! I got it!

I'm doing something good for the world.
How?
My, God. D's not coming, you guys.
You guys!
Cool. Third wheel.
Hey, you guys. D's not coming.
Boo, I don't care. ‐ Maya, my back.
‐ Sorry. ‐ Oh, my God.
‐ It just, like, sucks. He's not coming.
‐ Okay, I'm sorry.
MAYA: You didn't get mad at Steve when
he jumped on your back, but you did when I did.
ANNA: Well, that's because he didn't put pressure on it.
You know I have a bad back. MAYA: I'm sorry.
ANNA: So am I.
Oh, my God.
Hi, how are you? Would you like to buy
a luminary for the Walk for Cancer, please?
MAYA: I like your hair.
‐ You're very cute. Are you fifth graders?
‐ Um, "so you can choose a message for your survivor

they were going to do it, so they can't cancel.

that it's just you and me and not Steve
'cause it's been you guys hanging out a lot.
Sorry. ‐ Sorry.
Maya, maybe you should call Derrick because, like,

change his plans and see you, and then Steve will come too.

Very happy to be here with all of you today.
Let's do this, you guys.

So let's share our names and why we're here.
Uh, we'll start with the people who sold the most bags.
Jay. ‐ Um, I'm Jay.
This is my partner, Roger. Um, I'm a tent master.
[laughs] So, I, uh‐‐
I actually lost my mom to cancer this year.
Yeah.
It's about three months ago. I just haven't really known‐‐

the whole time because I don't want to.
JAY: I've dragged Roger here with me.
ROGER: No, you didn't. No. JAY: I did, I did.

You're being really crazy right now.
ROGER: And I just want to kind of...
MAYA: What?
ROGER: Honor him today as we walk.

because I think that Steve's gonna break up with me.
‐ No way. EVE: Girls. Girls. Please.
‐ Sorry.
‐ Anyway, I just want to honor him today
as we walk.
Now, I'm Roger, by the way.
‐ Hi, Roger. ‐ I have a question.
Are we gonna walk the whole 24 hours?
'Cause I don't think that's possible.
‐ Okay, we're gonna need a talking stick
because people keep interrupting.
‐ I raised my hand.
‐ This team is going to walk in shifts, okay?
So no, it won't be the whole time.
‐ Oh.
COORDINATOR: The walk is starting now.
Please make your way to the track, thank you.

Okay? ANNA: Okay, Minister Eve.

Anna, are you in a better mood now?

I'm the one who's, like,
making you happy. [both laugh]

‐ What'd you just say, Sean? ‐ Nothing.
I was just telling Ann here that you think she's cute.
‐ Oh, my God. ‐ Oh, my God.

And he's fucking funny. ‐ Nah, nah, nah.

I told you that. ‐ We went over this.

They're just, like‐‐ they're in high school, so.
‐ They are probably cheating on you.
ANNA: What? SEAN: Honestly.
With some high school girls.
ANNA: Well‐‐

You shouldn't let boyfriends rule your life.

Right? ‐ Yeah.

I swear to God he does. That's fucked up.
‐ Cool.
‐ You guys, that's, like, really fucked up
to joke about that.
Like, that's not cool.
‐ Yeah, he knows it's not a joke.
It's his life. ‐ You guys, it's not funny.
‐ See? He does.
‐ That could've been a haircut.
‐ Ask him yourself.
‐ Do you?
‐ Do‐‐do you have cancer?
‐ Yeah.
‐ If you're not lying, I'm sorry.
‐ Sorry, if you're not lying.
‐ So you gonna kiss him?
‐ Should we keep walking? ‐ Yeah.
‐ Wait, wait.
Just give my man a kiss on the cheek.
‐ Oh, okay.
‐ Okay. If it's on the cheek, yeah.
‐ Okay. Oh, my God.
You guys are, like, so crazy. [Anna laughs]

Player over here.
MAYA: I'll see you guys out there.

MAYA: Bye. [zipper unfastens]
Oh, my God, the tent.

COORDINATOR: If anyone sees my wife,
can you please tell her that I'm looking for her?
I'm out here in the field. The 50‐yard line.
MAYA: Okay, that was crazy. ANNA: Yeah.
‐ He was lying, right? ‐ I felt bad, but I don't know.
I think so, yeah. ‐ No, I know, I felt bad too.
But I'm kind of like, everyone gets a haircut like that.
Like, it's called a buzzcut. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Supercuts or whatever.
‐ My God, that would be so messed up.
You think he just‐‐yeah.
I feel sick, though. I don't know why.
KARINA: Assholes, come here.
BOTH: Us?
‐ You two. Come here.
MAYA: Oh, my God. ‐ Stop.
Did you tell my little brother he doesn't have cancer?
ANNA: What?
‐ Did you tell my brother he doesn't have cancer?
‐ Um‐‐no‐‐ ‐ I'm so pissed right now.
‐ We‐‐we didn't. Um‐‐right?
‐ No, we didn't. ‐ Cool.
So you go in a tent with them, act all flirty,
tell Brett that he doesn't have cancer,
and laugh when he shows you his hair?
‐ No, no, we didn't laugh. We were, like, um‐‐
‐ Oh, my God, okay. ‐ We were, like, um‐‐
‐ Don't say God. You're anti.
‐ So this is just a misunderstanding
'cause what happened is, we were on the track.
Um, sorry. Um‐‐ ‐ Spit it out.
‐ Sean asked us to go in his tent.
‐ Yeah, 'cause he wanted us to, like‐‐
‐ Yeah and he was, like‐‐ ‐ Kiss him or whatever.
ANNA: To kiss him. He has cancer.
And so I was like, "Oh, are you lying?
Or are you just trying to get play? Or‐‐"
‐ We didn't know if it was play or lying or, like...
‐ He's not lying about that.
‐ We didn't know. Sorry.

COORDINATOR: Thank you. Thank you.
[indistinct voices]
‐ Oh, my God. They fucking ditched us.
‐ What time is it?
CARL: Hey, everybody.
My name is Carl, and I'm sorry that you all had to listen
to my voice today on the megaphone.
It's hard to describe cancer itself
because it was always just about
these special words they had.
You know, mass.
Be strong. Survivor. Have goals.
Remission.
All of these key words, but...
the thing that I get to connect with a lot of you about
today is the, uh, the departure.
That the people we love go on before they're even gone.
A mother, a father.
They go on this trip,
and we don't get to go on it with them.
This trip takes them somewhere else.
It's like for some of them, the pain is so great
that the only relief is to take a bunch of drugs.
Just the day before, their sickness was just a concept
because we couldn't see this ride coming.
And then the next day, it's not a concept anymore
because it‐‐it's a whole different ride suddenly.
And, uh‐‐but I think what we all do,
the friend, the daughter, the father,
the survivor, I think the strength
that's needed to attend this‐‐this, uh,
this mountain of a ride with no definite end point,
no known destination,
is for the fearless and the brave.
And tonight, right now, we're all here together
on this same ride, and it's an honor for me
to connect with all of you and to be here now.
Tonight, I know that I'm not alone.
It's not that kind of luminary.
‐ It's not that kind‐‐ ‐ Sorry.
‐ [whispering] It doesn't float.
‐ I thought it was gonna float up.
Like the ones that float.

really do things like this.
