his death thankfully there are still a plethora of cars that he can use to drive around he goes to the grocery store in his underwear and breaks in using a gun in only a year he has completely forgotten basic decency now that he has no one to impress he also does everything that was just an impulsive thought before the virus like destroying the pile of cans in the store and bringing hundreds of adult films home to pass time he plays racquetball with himself uses lamps and aquariums as bowling pins and crashes cars into each other
the chaos makes him feel a hint of adrenaline and helps him cope with the loneliness after about a month he starts to lose his sense of sanity moreover being alone on his birthday reminds him of everything he failed to appreciate when life was normal he misses his mother his life and humans in general the scene cuts to a few months later the grand mansion philip lived in has turned into a dumping site it is filled with plastic and cans that he never cleans up because there won't be a meaning to it anyway he hasn't showered
in days and has started living like an animal the house lacks running water and the toilet is covered in plastic bottles so instead philip makes a hole in the springboard and uses the pool as his toilet he also fills a kid's pool with margaritas and bathes in it while simultaneously drinking from it let's hope he never gets the two pools confused then one day he goes to the bar and draws faces on balls assigning them names and personalities he talks to them like they're his real friends just to feel like he isn't lonely at night
he brings a ball named gary to a clothing store and hits on a mannequin that he has a crush on when her arm breaks philip loses his mind he decides that he doesn't want to live anymore and goes to the nearby hill to commit the unthinkable he wishes farewell to all of his ball friends promising to remember them for eternity then he gets inside his car and drives towards the hill at full speed suddenly he sees smoke rising far away and stops the car seconds before it crashes philip can almost not believe his eyes he
immediately follows the smoke and reaches a trailer that is clearly inhabited by a person then he notices something he had been begging to see for the past year someone has left their bra to dry in the sun philip smells it and is so overwhelmed that he falls unconscious when he wakes up he sees a beautiful girl holding him in her lap she seductively promises to fulfill his wishes and kisses him philip is enjoying the kiss before he wakes up and realizes he was dreaming the girl in front of him is less attractive and older she
is performing cpr on him to bring him back they pull away from each other weirded out upon seeing another human after so long philip asks her where the beautiful woman is until she points out he should be worried about his wet underpants instead it turns out that he peed himself when he was unconscious even in a situation like this philip claims that he was swimming from the front side earlier which is why his underpants are wet he aggressively starts explaining that he did not pee himself which makes the girl panic she brings out a gun
asking him to stay away philip finally admits that he did in fact pee and is embarrassed after both of them calmed down they introduced themselves the girl's name is carol she used to be an analyst before the virus and has been wandering around america after everyone died she saw the alive in tucson sign and came here to see if she really is the last person alive although philip had been dying to meet a woman he isn't very excited to see carol she repeatedly corrects his grammar doesn't understand his jokes and keeps talking about irrelevant things
after talking for a while they decide to drive to the grocery store on the way carol complains about him crossing the stop sign despite philip arguing that there is no traffic she remains adamant that they have to follow the rules or else they will start living like animals to make her feel better he stops at a sign and looks to both sides confirming that no one is crossing the road her nagging doesn't stop when they reach the grocery store and philip parks in the handicapped spot they get into their fifth argument of the day with
philip insisting that this imaginary handicapped person has a lot of space to park his car when carol still urges him to park somewhere else he runs the vehicle straight into the store following that she goes to take a tour of his house and is disgusted by the way he lives he has two swimming pools one filled with feces and the other with garbage carol also accuses him of stealing the paintings even though he argues they didn't belong to anyone anymore by the end of the house tour philip asks her to go back to her campsite
the next morning he is woken up by carol cleaning up his house she nags him to get gardening and cleaning supplies from the store because they have to start living like human beings at night philip goes to his ball buddies and complains about carol even though he has only known her for a day he feels like they are a married couple who desperately need to get a divorce the following morning things get worse for him as she moves into the house next door he tries to shoe her away but carol being carol is stubborn she
asks him if he is scared of being seen naked and as a reply phillip takes off his pants carol finally addresses the elephant in the room and brings up the topic of reproduction she thinks that they are the chosen ones who have been given the duty to repopulate the earth philip says he wouldn't sleep with her even if she was the last woman on earth which is true in this case in the next scene he is in his outdoor toilet when carol approaches him she wants him to find a way to get running water to
their house that way they can grow tomatoes and other fruits when he refuses to help she tries to bribe him with fresh tomatoes but he doesn't care she should know better than to try bribing a guy who poops off a diving board however when it gets dark he breaks into her garden and eats all of her vegetables carol knocks on his door the next morning and finds him covered in leftover tomatoes philip still claims that he isn't the one who stole them he also notices carol has hurt her leg while trying to transfer water to
her house from a manhole a few days later she gives up on trying to live like a decent human philip finds her making an outdoor toilet in a fountain copying his swimming pool toilet carol thinks that they might not be the chosen ones but instead the forgotten ones who have no purpose in life they are in no way capable of creating an entire human civilization when they cannot even arrange a toilet in their million dollar mansions philip who is used to seeing carol as an optimistic person feels awful for her hence he goes to the
city's water tank and arranges a way to water carol's garden she is finally happy to see a good side to him and invites him for dinner at night philip enjoys an organic meal after a long time the topic of sex is brought up and phillip says he is ready to sleep with her now however to his surprise carol doesn't want to make love before marriage initially philip laughs thinking that it is a joke but she turns out to be serious even though the idea is ridiculous he proposes to make her feel better at last they
decide to get married the next day in the following scene they are in church saying their vows philip thinks it isn't necessary but goes with the act anyway when they step out of the church they are welcomed by a crowd of guests philip realizes he has made a mistake and screams then he wakes up on his bed thankful that it was only a dream he even has to check out the window to ensure that most of the world is still dead a while later carol comes to his house with food she thinks they should elect
