That moment.
That wonderful feeling of excitement.
I love you.
Why does it always pass?
How's Jakob?
Good.
Even when you know it's special
right then and there, it still ends.
Why can't we stay in that moment,
that feeling?
Why can't it last
forever like we wish it could?
...single assumption that makes
the progress of biology...
...assumption that everything the animals do,
the atoms do.
That some things that are seen in the biological world
are the result of the behavior of physical
and chemical phenomena with no extra assumptions.
You could always say, "Well, when it comes to living things,
anything can happen."
But if you do that, you never understand the living thing.
Very hard for us just to believe
that the wiggling of the tentacle of the octopus
is nothing but a performing round of atoms
putting into motion the laws.
But it's investigating this hypothesis...
You're not dressed.
...is known to be the same
as the matter on the Earth
by the character of the light
that's emitted by those stars
which is a similar kind of frequency...
Uh, what goes on
outside the nucleus of the atom
seems precise and complete enough
in the sense that given enough time,
we can calculate anything as accurately...
Sorry.
Thanks.
Think it'll last?
Hope so.
Did I see you by the lake earlier?
Were you with someone?
No.
How come?
You don't ever want to be alone?
Never.
You want to go for a walk?
Where?
Somewhere else.
Your foot.
Has it always been that way?
Yeah.
Does it hurt?
Uh... s-sometimes.
Well...
I guess everybody's got something.
I heard time moves slower in the woods.
That's not true.
No.
But it'd be nice if it was.
That's why I like it out here.
The moment.
Feels like it can just...
ETHAN and MAY: Last.
Can I see it?
Your foot?
You don't have to.
No, it's...
it's okay.
What would you do?
If it was normal?
I'd run.
I bet you'd be fast.
Thanks.
- May! - You there?
May!
See you around.
May!
How old were you when you got married?
- Your age. - Really?
It was exciting.
At the time.
What about him?
Satanic sex cult.
He was shot by a jealous husband and survived
but later died in a freak hot-air balloon accident.
You're not like this at school.
Usually, you're really quiet.
Yeah.
Well,
I don't like being around people.
They can be mean.
Am I talking too much?
No.
I like it.
You still with Jakob?
Follow me.
Ask what he's doing.
Why?
Hey. Uh...
- Hey. - What is that?
Yeah. They're the, uh,
main heat-absorbing component.
- They get really hot. - Yeah.
That's why the, uh, side arm is needed.
Interesting.
And then you got the coolant
that needs to get replaced.
The weather, it could, uh,
really do a number on them.
Then there's the, uh...
uh...
...timer itself that needs to be reset.
Uh, thanks for explaining all that.
- Yeah. - Uh, have a good one.
- You, too. - Bye.
Okay.
You take something?
What's that for?
This was just in the lake?
Yep.
Is it dangerous?
Probably.
Where do you learn this stuff?
I've always been curious about how things work, so...
I take stuff apart and put it back together.
I-It's kind of weird.
No, it's cool.
Can I see your room?
Nice.
This...?
Yeah.
Uh, it's nothing.
What?
Uh, it's just...
I can't draw, but...
you're prettier than that.
Want to listen to a song?
Sure.
- May! - Mom.
Get out.
Mom?
Dad?
Hey.
Um...
I'm sorry.
Can I... show you something?
I found a way we can be together.
Put this on.
You fix it?
Go on.
It's cold.
Ready?
Neat, huh?
Why aren't we...?
Is the whole town like this?
It's just us.
So, what do you want to do?
What about him?
Sent here from another dimension
to see what makes us tick.
Seems about right.
I like being alone with you.
Here?
Come on.
When will we ever get another chance
to do something like this?
Is...?
It's fine.
You okay?
I forgot to breathe.
This is like a dream.
In the future, whenever you walk down this street,
you'll think about what we did here.
How long does this last?
Long as we want.
- This moment...
...it can last forever.
- What do you think? - Looks good.
Just good?
Great.
This is a solid model.
It shoots 333 feet per second.
Cool.
But where are we gonna keep all this?
I've always liked the idea of living here.
Now's your chance.
How do you say "What time is it?"
What about "I love you"?
That's not as easy.
Why?
Uh, let me think.
One more time.
See?
Easy.
It doesn't freak you out? Killing deer?
No.
What does?
Uh... Snakes.
You?
Being alone.
I told you, I don't like it.
Why?
Because i-it would just be me, and I'm not my favorite person.
But you're so confident.
Hey.
Don't worry.
I'm here.
I'll never leave you.
Promise?
Promise.
- Faster! - What?
Faster!
You awake?
Hmm?
How long has it been?
Like this?
Yeah.
Uh...
A month?
Longer?
When we turn it off, you'll break up with Jakob?
I guess so.
I mean, yeah.
Yes or no?
I said yeah.
It'll be strange,
everything being normal again.
We can always do it whenever we want, though, right?
Like this?
Maybe at night next time?
Yeah.
Okay.
What's wrong?
Is it broken?
- Look, can you fix it? - Let me think.
I'm stuck here?
I'm here, too.
I know. I-I know.
We need a fresh one.
And that will fix it?
It should.
Well, where do we get one?
They're not here.
Found it.
Nice. A forbidden love.
They communicate when they can meet through secret messages
left under a rock by the lighthouse.
- Shut up. - What?
- Oh. I didn't... - Just shut up.
- Look. I'm sorry. - Shut up!
What are you doing?
I'll make it so they have nothing
to cover themselves with.
- That's stupid. - You don't have to be here.
Hey, can you just...
It's not like anyone's gonna see them.
So, what, I'm stupid?
No, that's not what I said.
Yes, it is.
I didn't know it was your mom.
I didn't do anything.
May...
can we just...
- Can we just what?! - Why are you being this way?
- What way? - Like a bitch.
Don't call me a bitch, you cripple.
Ethan?
Ethan!
Ethan?
Ethan!
Answer me.
Will you look at me?
I didn't mean to sa...
When you said you felt stuck here,
it really hurt.
And...
I was scared that you were gonna leave me.
And seeing my mom like that...
I'm just really upset right now,
and I can't be alone.
I need you.
Will you talk to me?
Please?
That moment...
...that wonderful feeling of excitement.
Why does it always pass?
Even when you know it's special right then and there,
it still ends.
Why?
Why can't it last forever, like we wish it could?
Something on your mind?
Boyfriend?
I don't think we'll be together much longer.
I see.
Sometimes things are special because they don't last.
What is it?
Hey.
How are you?
And you?
I...
What happened?
You broke your promise.
And you said what you said.
May.
