Hey,

this is Harrison. Sorry I missed you.

Leave a message.

Guest

Hey, you didn't

Guest

respond to my text,

Guest

so I thought I'd

give you a call.

Maybe you're on set.

Guest

I don't know, I didn't think

you were working today, so...

But I am having a great time.

Guest

This is a really cool

Guest

spot and, you know,

Guest

I love these ladies,

so all good here.

I will, uh...

Guest

I'll tell you more when

you call me back, so...

call me back.

I am at the airport.

Guest

Had my last final

three hours ago.

Staff

How was it?

Guest

Hard...

Guest

...but, you know,

whatever. It's over.

Guest

You always do great,

so I wouldn't worry.

Just get on that flight

Guest

and come on and see

your mama.

Okay, I'm coming, Mama.

Guest

Well, a shuttle will bring

Guest

you here from the airport,

Guest

and just come straight

to the room. I miss you.

Guest

And, Zion, please be safe, okay?

Guest

Okay, I will

see you tomorrow.

Oh my God. Tomorrow.

Okay, I love you.

Love you, Mama.

Oh.

Uh...

Ja. Ja.

Guest

Gaitok,

you are well-liked here.

You are very friendly.

Guest

But there has been more

crime on the island.

Guest

Your job is to

protect the hotel.

Scene 3

Int. White Lotus Resort - Day

28 lines

Your job is more than

Guest

just waving to people

as they come through the gate.

Guest

Khun Lek has some ideas,

so I leave it to you two.

Good day.

Guest

Lochy!

Staff

You want some of this?

Guest

No. No.

I'm making you some anyway.

Saxon. Fuck, come on.

Staff

Dad, just one sec...

Guest

Turn it off.

God.

Dad, I just said

I'm making a shake.

Well, I'm a little

jet lagged.

Lochy, what are you doing?

Guest

Oh my God, dude.

Guest

Lochy, we don't do

it for the taste.

We do it for the high T and BDE.

Guest

You know, girls aren't into

super jacked guys, by the way.

Guest

Really? What are

Guest

they into, Piper?

Guest

Gender goblins that

Guest

tuck their dicks

Guest

in between their legs like that?

Guest

Why do you have to

Guest

be so gross? Stop!

Yum.

Saxon, come on, stop.

I'll give it back...

Guest

...if you keep your

phobias to yourself.

Guest

And don't turn

Guest

our little brother

Guest

into an agender asexual

like you.

Guest

Don't turn him into a

walking dildo like you.

Staff

Give it back!

Are one of you

Guest

taking my Lorazepams?

Staff

No, ma'am.

Guest

No.

Guest

I just had my

Guest

prescription filled,

Guest

and I could tell

some are missing.

Guest

You don't have enough Lorazepam

Guest

to get through one week

Guest

at a wellness spa?

Of course, I do.

Guest

And I don't appreciate

your tone, Piper.

Guest

Mom, why do you even

Guest

need that stuff?

Guest

Well, you're the

Guest

one who wants us

Guest

to go on this boat

today with strangers.

Staff

Fuck.

Guest

Yeah, so what?

Guest

Certain social situations

make me anxious.

Guest

Yeah, but at

home, you go to the club.

I know

them. They know me.

I know they're decent.

Guest

Are you okay?

Everyone at the club.

Guest

What about them?

Staff

Dad! Please! Come on. Jeez.

Guest

Oh my God. Your robe. Dad!

Things happen in threes.

One, the robbery.

Two, the snake show.

Uh-huh.

Guest

This could be some

Final Destination shit.

Like death is coming for me.

Guest

Lightning doesn't strike

in the same place twice.

Guest

Maybe we shouldn't

get on the boat.

I'm not getting on the boat.

Guest

What do you mean?

Yes, you are.

I told you I'm going to Bangkok.

Yes, I remember that.

God. You never

tell me anything.

It really hurts my feelings.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't... Don't...

Don't do that.

Knock it off.

Chelsea, come on.

Okay.

Guest

Okay, yeah, I'll... I'll

come on the boat with you.

um, I keep sending texts...

Guest

We should do

something fun today.

Guest

Isn't it

Guest

some kind of holiday?

Staff

What do you wanna do?

Guest

Well, don't we have yoga?

Guest

Oh my God. We can

do yoga at home.

Guest

And we can't just sit

at the pool all week.

Guest

I mean, it's a beautiful pool,

Guest

but we should at least, one

day, sit by a different pool.

Guest

Don't you think?

Staff

Good morning.

Guest

Oh. Hey.

Guest

Ready to do some yoga?

We were just talking about that.

Guest

Yeah, I think we wanna

have some fun today.

So, we might skip yoga.

Guest

I love the hotel, but

it's a little dead.

Guest

Do you know what I'm saying?

Guest

Is there some place around here,

Guest

another place, a

Scene 9

little more fun,

Guest

has more of a vibe?

You know, cocktails

Ooh.

It's just down the beach.

Okay. Well, you know,

Laurie's single here, so...

Yes, I... I knew

this.

Staff

Oh.

Guest

You did?

Guest

Okay. Maybe you

should meet us there.

Mm.

I would love to, but I have...

Okay!

Don't worry about it.

She's just joking.

And I hope you will

hear me when I say...

you are not stuck.

You can escape the karmic cycle.

Find peace in this life.

I have hope for you.

Yeah.

It was lovely to meet you.

Likewise.

Didn't even give her a day off.

I'm gonna join that

meditation center for...

yeah, like, at least a year.

Guest

I went yesterday

Guest

and I looked around,

and I can just tell.

Guest

I think it's the

right place for me.

No, but I th... I thought...

Guest

I thought the

Guest

reason we were here

Guest

was so that you could interview

some monk for your thesis.

Guest

Okay. Okay. No,

don't... don't do that.

Guest

Don't make it feel like

owns this hotel.

That's why we're here.

Guest

I thought he

was supposed to be here.

Guest

I read where he had a stroke,

Guest

and was in the hospital here,

Guest

but he's not here,

he's in Bangkok.

So, I'm going to Bangkok.

I never knew my father.

I told you that.

He was a do-gooder.

Guest

He came to Thailand

to help people.

He was trying to

Guest

help these locals,

Guest

and keep a shady American

from stealing their land.

Guest

It's... I... I really

don't know all the details.

Guest

But my father was here

trying to do the right thing.

And one day, he disappeared.

And they never found him.

My mother...

Guest

told me the name of

Guest

the guy who did it,

and he owns this hotel.

Guest

And half of fuckin'

Thailand, I guess.

Oh my God.

Guest

Is this a bit

Guest

"You killed my father,

Guest

prepare to die," kind of?

I don't know.

Hey, watch your step.

It's for fun. Don't

worry about it.

Thank you, Valentin.

him what he did to me

while he's still alive.

No, because you're not going

Come on. I know you,

Rick. This is what you do.

Stay out of it.

At least let me

Guest

come with you, okay?

He struck some kind of deal.

plead guilty and cut a deal.

Oh, you're not fuckin' serious!

I don't know if we

were ever gonna be able

If I plead guilty, Chuck,

it's the end of my career.
