Men in Trees s01e13 Episode Script
History Lessons
Previously on "men in trees" annie and i are back together.
I don't get it.
We start dating, and she runs.
What if she never comes back? Stuart, I want you to be my publisher.
We kissed.
You and jack? Marin, stop.
Yeah, you want to go back to your pregnant ex-girlfriend? That's fine with me 'cause I'll tell you something, buddy boy, yojust lost yourself a great catch.
(Paolo nutini's "new shoes" playing) * woke up cold one tuesday * * I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick * * I felt like there was something missing in my day-to-day life * * so I quickly opened the wardrobe * * pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean * * topped it off with a pair of old shoes * * that were ripped around the seams * * and I thought, "these shoes just don't suit me" * * hey, I put some new shoes on * good morning.
Oh, hi.
Do you have a deadline? Why would you say that? 'Cause you've cleaned this entire inn over the last four days.
Oh.
Now I once knit a whole dress instead of setting up my first photography exhibit.
Well, this is my writing process.
I ruminate while I'm throwing out I have no idea.
I am looking for a trash bag.
I threw out the trash twice.
Oh, I-I need a bag for some old stuff I'm donating to the elmo rummage sale.
You know, it's to benefit the moose lodge.
Oh.
They're still trying to build an actual lodge.
You know, they're always looking for volunteers.
I mean, if you're looking for a new project okay, thanks.
all right, elmo.
Hope you're feeling a little trashy today because it's that time of year again-- the elmo moose rummage sale is just around the corner.
So bring those donations down to grange hall and grab a sneak peek at the plethora of merchandise that'll be up for sale in just a few days.
Pickings this year are anything but slim, running the entire rummage spectrum from entirely useless crap to entirely useful crap.
So come on down! Hey, jack.
Hey, marin, hey.
What you got there? Extra havaharts.
Uh, it's a humane trap.
Catches an animal, but it doesn't hurt 'em.
Then you drive 'em out to the woods and let 'em go.
And no one gets hurt.
Yeah.
Some people have a lot of crap, huh? Yeah.
um, listen, in the spirit of letting go of crap we're good, right? Moving on or back or how about friends? Great.
Friends.
Simple.
We were always good at that.
No early birds! You can't buy until the sale! Oh, no, I was just dropping these off.
Uh, table seven--traps and lures.
And I'm not an early bird.
I'm a volunteer.
After my radio show, I am all yours.
You're gonna love being a volunteer.
I am learning so much about ornization from my mommai.
Okay, miss volunteer, what you gonna donate? Uh, I don't know.
Why don't you ask the woman who stole all my new york clothes? Oh, that was funny, wasn't it? Good times.
Yeah.
So what you got for mai? I'm not hanging on to things anymore.
In new york, my apartment was stuffed.
I could have given you 30 boxes of tchotchkes.
Oh, why do you torture mai? I moved back to elmo with two suitcases.
I'm living light.
You know what thoreau said-- "our life is frittered away by detail.
Simplify, simplify.
" Why simplify when you can buy tchotchkes? Hey, you! Stop! Shotguns go on table six.
Go on.
Go.
Sorry I'm late.
Actually, you're early.
Avoiding writing, huh? Oh.
what is with ye oldie music? The ears want what the ears want, just like the heart.
I'm gonna propose to annie tonight.
patrick, you are? You're gonna ask her again? second time's the charm.
I have the perfect plan as perfect as the pie.
"will you marry me?" No, not you.
Annie.
uh, yeah, I get it.
I'm taking her to sitka szechuan, and they're gonna slip it in her fortune cookie.
A proposal and a cookie-- what could top that? Uh, I can'T think of a thing.
Actually, it sounds like every girl's dream-- every girl who likes chinese food.
Yeah, thanks, but keep your chopsticks crossed, 'cause the last proposal went over like a lead balloon-- a fiery, weeping, screaming, sad lead balloon.
Well, you can't dwell on that.
If the first time wasn't lead-filled, you'd never be able to propose in a cookie.
Listen to the silver lining lady.
It's true.
If you hold on to the bad stuff in your past you won't have anything to donate to the rummage sale.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
You're on.
okay, so elmo, rummage sale fever is upon us.
A lot of people e getting rid of a lot of stuff-- making room, and, uh, there is a lot of baggage out there on those tables, people, so I guess my question to you is how much baggage do you have to get rid of in order to move forward? get up here.
Wait, wait.
What time is it? who cares? Why'd you wear so many shirts? I was cold.
Wait.
Hey, hey.
Hey, I just put that back on.
I don't know why.
We can be fast.
No, we can'T.
thanks for coming over for lunch.
I gotta go back to the office.
oh, my god.
It's like we're in high school.
All we do is lie around and make out.
Well, who doesn't like making out? Yeah, I love it when it's the start of something more.
You know, we're not 15.
We haven't even gone to second base.
I'm--I'm sorry.
Did you just say "second base"? Yes, I did.
How screwed up is that? Remind me.
Is second base over ounder the shirt? His shirt has not come off.
I can tell you that.
I'm really confused.
So am I.
You guys are back together, right? Yeah.
I mean, he said he wants to try again.
So what's the holdup? I don't know.
Well, it's hard to go back.
A lot's happened between you guys.
I can't pretend that ben didn't hook up with sara when we were split up or maybe it's a physical thing.
Maybe he doesn't want to hurt the baby? Yeah, someone else's baby.
It's complicated.
Maybe he just doesn't want me anymore.
I'm damaged goods.
Honey, we're all damaged goods.
Doesn't mean we don't deserve to be happy.
Hey, can you rescue me here? I can't find the pretzels, and jerome is driving me crazy.
Sure.
Be back.
Did you even look? They're right here.
I know.
This was all just a cheap ruse to get you back here.
Oh.
Mmm.
I can be cheap.
Sara.
Hey.
* what you are, what you are, what you are * Hey.
I didn't know you were back.
I didn't know you were, either.
Uh I'll go feed jerome.
When did you get home? A few days ago.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Because I didn't know I'm sorry.
I had no idea where you were.
I went and stayed at my mom's for a little while.
I just needed to think things out.
Look, I'm sorry about what happened--the way I left.
I made a mistake.
I made a lot of mistakes.
I thought that we had something between us.
We did.
Of course we did.
But you left.
I left elmo, but I still had feelings for you, ben.
I ahem.
Got some thirsty guys out here.
I'll, uh, see you guys around.
come on.
This is really beautiful.
I like painting lakes.
They don't move, and they don't chase you up a tree.
it really feels like elmo.
I'm gonna miss this place.
I'm moving down south-- minneapolis.
Oh.
Gonna live with my idiot of a son.
if you really like this picture, we can make a deal.
no early birds! Thanks, but I'm not shopping today.
I saw you trying to jump the gun.
All right.
First off, you gotta cool it with the bullhorn.
Secondly, I am not buying this painting.
I'm not buying anything.
Oh, something will tickle your fancy.
I don't need anything.
I like living this way, without all the clutter.
I like being light.
Don't start throwing the thoreau again.
hey, no personal phone calls until your break.
oh.
Don't worry.
I am not getting this call.
It's from my publisher.
He's looking for my next chapter.
I'm a little behind.
So are we.
Here.
Start unloading these boxes from jack.
this is so interesting.
I've never had mu shu moose before.
You should save the rest for tomorrow.
Always better the next day.
Are we in a hurry? Do I have moose in my teeth? Hell, no.
Just wanted you to save some room.
You know what they have for dessert? No.
Ah! fortune cookies! thank you! I love these things-- the rest of your life spelled out for you and tucked inside a delicious sugary wafer.
go ahead.
Crack that psychic puppy.
so, uh, what you got there? "You will live with the energy of a tiger" in bed.
What? Do you ever do that? I-I like to add "in bed" to the fortune.
It's funny and sexy.
Let me see that.
No, that's wrong.
Why? I-I'm not gonna live with the energy of a tiger? Do you know something? No, you're fine.
Totally a tiger.
Oh, man.
What does yours say? "You will flourish in the world of finance.
" In bed.
Mm, no.
It doesn't work with that one.
Oh, my god! Yes! Yes, yes, I'll marry you! congratulations! Isn't that the most romantic thing ever? Everyone in the restaurant was congratulating them.
One guy even offered them a low-interest home loan for an engagement present! It was a nightmare.
Stupid jerk cookie.
Patrick, why don't you just tell her what happened? She'll laugh.
Right.
Ha ha.
"What a loser I am.
"Will you marry me, annie? And then we can suck together for all eternity.
" Patrick she said it was the best proposal ever.
How am I gonna top that? I'm just a man, marin.
Just a man.
You don't have to top it.
Just pick a normal moment.
The second you propose, it will be plenty special, believe me.
We're back, elmo.
Let's go to, uh, duncan in upper copper corner on line five.
Uh, hi, duncan in upper copper corner.
Uh, how can I help you? hey.
So I don't know what to do about my girlfriend.
Fiancée, actually, I guess.
What's the problem? Well, I was going to break up with her, so I took her out, and I was getting up the nerve, and then she got this fortune cookie with a proposal in it.
hello? Am I still on? Uh, uh, yes, uh, you're still on, duncan.
So this girl I was gonna dump, and she's, like, all happy, and I'm trapped.
I mean, what do I do? Um and who's out there putting "will you marry me?" into a random fortune cookie? That's like emotional terrorism.
wow.
"Making out"-- haven't heard that in a while.
Yeah, on the couch after lunch.
What happened next? What do you mean? Did you ask her to go steady? Come on, man.
You know what I'm talking about.
What went down next? I'm not talking to you about that.
Don't be a tease, man.
Actually, I can't talk to you about it because we haven't done anything else.
it's fine.
And all you guys are doing is making out? Yeah, we are.
Don't you want more? I'm taking it slow.
Because of marin? No.
You know, it's not always about another woman, mr.
"I have two chicks after my ass.
" Hey, is there a pay phone in here? I can't get a signal on this.
Yeah, we-- well, actually, jerome's on with his mother.
It might be a while.
Ah.
Go on, jack.
It's your shot.
Excuse me.
Are you jack, uh, "menaissance" jack? Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I read about you in marin frist's "new yorker" piece.
Yeah, who didn't? she's a pretty talented woman.
Yes, she is.
I feel like I know you already.
hey, you guys know where I could find her? We might.
Yeah, what do you want with her? Oh, uh, I'm not a stalker, gentlemen.
I'm stuart-- stuart.
What a surprise.
Spiffy apron.
Oh, um, I'm on lunch break from the rummage sale.
What are you doing here? Well, I was visiting one of my writers in seattle, and I thought I'd take advantage of the company jet and come see you.
Fancy.
See elmo, see what inspires you and see why you missed your first deadline.
So do you always fly in to personally put pressure on your writers? No.
No, just the ones I wanna have dinner with.
ahem! Oh, guys, uh, this is stuart maxson, my publisher, from new york.
Hey.
Hey.
Hi.
So how about it? I'll trade you some pages for dinner tonight.
It's a great way to procrastinate.
dinner, yeah.
Dinner's good.
Great.
Hey, look at you, volunteering at the rummage.
I'm doing my part for the moose.
Oh, wow.
Creedence-- i love this album.
You know how some records are a soundtrack for part of your life? This was high school.
I was more of a talking heads girl.
yeah, I like them, too.
Uh, "little creatures"? "Speaking in tongues.
" "Burning down the house"? "Burning down the house.
" You can take that.
I don't want to cross mai.
She scares me.
No joke, but it's okay.
You can take the album.
It was jack'S.
Jack donated this? Yeah, he got rid of a whole box of records.
Want to look through? No, thanks.
You really can take it.
That's okay.
I guess he wanted to get rid of it.
But thanks.
No problem.
Wow, this place is really clean.
look who's back in my bathroom.
I thought it would be better for matty if I left him in juneau with my mom for a while, until I get my act together.
Wow, that must've been hard.
It was.
It is.
I'm leaving the hospitality business.
That's great.
Time to hang up the handcuffs.
I'm happy for you.
You're making a change.
I'm not the only one making a change.
Ben and theresa-- how'd that happen? I still want to be with him.
I know.
I gave up that right when I skipped town.
I left town, and lynn came back.
I heard.
You okay? Yeah.
I'm moving on.
I'm moving out.
Oh, my god.
You're moving out? Yeah.
I don't need the office anymore.
hey.
Hey.
Wow, that's a dress.
Oh.
well, thanks.
Uh, where are you headed? Skating.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Hey.
Oh, hi, stuart.
Hi.
Jack, good to see you again.
Hey.
Wow, you look great.
Oh, thanks.
I should wear this dress every day.
Let me help you with that.
Thank you.
thanks.
should we go? Yeah.
You have a good time, coach.
Uh, you, too.
So what do you think? I think this beats the corner table at da silvano-- cheaper wine, better view, outstanding company.
And at night you can't see the bear poop.
you're funny.
Usually beautiful girls aren't funny.
You're sweet.
I'm honest.
Okay.
Then what did you think about my new pages? Well, there's a lot in there that's good.
Wow.
Damning with faint praise.
Well, what you wrote about the landscape was pretty, but after your first chapter, this just felt a little, um ahem.
Fluffy.
Well, that was intentional.
I wanted something breezier.
You know, it seems like you're avoiding things.
But thoreau wrote about the land.
He wrote a whole book about a pond, for god sakes.
You gave me that book.
Thoreau wrote about the wilderness because it made him feel things more deeply.
It wasn't a travel log.
Ouch.
I'm being honest.
what made that first chapter great was that it was messy and-- and complicated.
Can I ask you something? What made me think I was a writer in the first place? Why didn't you write about the messy stuff-- what you were feeling? Mostly, I was feeling lousy.
It wouldn't have been a fun read.
If I wanted fun, I would have commissioned a pop-up book.
I guess I lost my muse.
Hmm or he started dating someone else.
No, jack was not my muse.
Not your only muse.
Elmo was its own character.
It inspired you.
You're a gifted writer, marin, but you gotta get back into this place, build a foundation.
Be a part of something instead of just skating over the surface.
oh, it's so beautiful here.
I forgot.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
So why'd you sell the clearwater? I saw it at the rummage sale.
You love that album.
We played it-- all the time, I know.
Remember the first night at the house? "Lodi" on repeat.
Yeah.
Cold meat loaf that was a great night.
Yeah, I know.
Look, every single thing in that house said something about you and me, and I just needed to let some of it go.
But we build that up together.
We lived together.
We used to sleep together.
Why aren't we now? I mean, why are we acting like we're still in high school? It was simple back then.
How much simpler can I make it? I'm here.
I wanna be with you.
I thought you wanted to be with me.
But you're pregnant.
Okay.
That's part of who I am now.
But don't throw the baby out with the clearwater, jack.
* Cleansing water, feed my soul * * cleansing water * * cleansing water, feed my soul * "Pitiful.
" Your turn.
I'm thinkin'.
"mart"? That's it.
Mart-- that's my word.
Patrick, you can do better than that.
Oh, I'm trying as hard as I can.
I should go help mommai organize the mukluks.
Have a nice day "cutie.
" bye.
Hey, annie.
See ya.
You're her cutie.
Oh.
She should have spelled "wimp.
" Why? I choked.
It was perfect, too.
She even spelled "querida.
" Wow.
She says it means "the girl you love.
" She is really good at this game.
I was good, too.
I had my tiles, ready to spring.
So what happened? I started thinking about fortune cookies, thinking about the pie, thinking about failure, and then wham! "Mart.
" Patrick, don't worry.
There will be another moment.
But will it be perfect? I mean, as perfect as it needs to be? What if I'm jinxed? I don't think I can do this.
I don't think I'm a proposer.
+, So what are you, then? A "die-aloner.
" N-o, you "aren't-er.
" I got an emergency.
I need an engagement party.
Hey, congratulations.
You and annie? Patrick, that's great.
No.
No, I can't propose-- that's the emergency.
So why am i throwing you a party? 'Cause I'm putting a clock on it.
If there's a cake and sparklers waiting here this afternoon, I know I have to pop the question before annie sees it.
I'm using the old brain to control the heart.
Okay, okay.
One engagement party coming up.
You bring the fiancee.
Mission will be accomplished, sir.
Classifieds? I'm looking for a new job.
What about your old job? I'm moving on, finally.
Good for you.
Any prospects? Well, elmo's got a lot to offer a girl.
I could gut fish, I could pack fish or I could hose out the place where they gut and pack the fish.
I was hoping for something a little less smelly? Yeah.
hey, theresa.
Yeah, we're ready to order here.
Listen, ben, I'm sorry if I put you in a weird position the other day.
I've forgotten all about it.
I wish I could.
You know, I am back with theresa.
Wellthat doesn't mean I don't wanna throw my hat back in the ring.
Could you throw a couple burgers on for me, ben? I'm just making small talk that's all it is.
Like always.
Ben, the nice guy.
Listen, you have nothing to worry about.
I want to be with you.
Yeah, but when you made that decision, she wasn't here.
You think you and i are back together because sara wasn't here? You're my wife.
I wanna be with you.
I've always wanted to be with you.
I wanted to be with you even when you didn't want to be with me.
Yes, but you and sara had real feelings for each other, and now that she's back, I well, how did you expect me to feel? Well I'm not happy.
I'm not saying that's fair.
I'm just saying that that's how I feel.
Okay, okay.
So what can I do to make you feel better? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
do, do, do, do, do oh, do, do, do, do Game faces, people! It's almost go time.
Anything good? Yeah.
Nobody likes records.
Everybody downloads now.
Oh.
Look, she probably gave this to him for his 15th birthday.
"Happy birthday, J.
Heart, lynn.
" Okay, you need to stop.
I'm fine.
fine.
You need to call your own radio show.
it's just-- this is amazing.
This is their history right here.
They were 15 together-- childhood sweethearts.
They are who they are because of each other.
I mean, she's his "heart, lynn.
" Okay.
"Heart, lynn" goes on the 5-cent table.
Game time! Open 'em up! Attention, shoppers! Cash only! No psonal checks! Snowshoes aren't going to sell themselves.
You have to push.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey ho! Having fun, vice president of rummage? I don't see why we can't fire volunteers if they're incompetent.
Uh, so, uh, I was thinking after the sale, maybe we could go for a walk, you know, down by the water.
Nothing special, and then head to the chieftain for a bite.
Oh! Sorry, patrick.
Mommai assigned us to take whatever doesn't sell and drive it to the dump.
Oh.
Are--are you mad? No, the, uh, dump's great this time of year.
Maybe we can go for a walk after.
Okay.
So I'm pretty sure that we've got the sides matching to each aw.
Look.
Oh! Cute.
Was that matty's? Yeah.
He's outgrown all of this.
Hmm.
It's time to get rid of it and start a new chapter.
I need one of the myself, especially since my publisher hated the one I've been working on.
Screw him.
Where is he? I'll give him a piece of my mind.
He's in anchorage for the day, meeting an up-and-coming poet.
But you know what? He was right.
I was just typing keeping my fingers busy.
I need inspiration.
My clients used to find this inspiring.
I'll think on that one.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hi.
How's business? Slow.
Not too much of a market for broken toasters these days.
Hey, uh, I think I made a bit of a mistake, giving this away.
How much is it? I thought I didn't want all this junk, but it's not all junk.
It's history.
That can be good to have sometimes.
Yeah.
Hey, um do you like this painting? Yeah, I do.
I do, too.
I'm thinking I might need some stuff.
Hands off, blondie! Unh-unh.
I'm not an eard.
I have my $5.
You're late bird now.
Too late.
Aw! Who bought it? I did.
Outsider art movement.
Good investment.
Mai, I really loved that painting.
Was that one of minnie's? Yeah.
You know her? Oh, yeah.
She's been painting since I was a kid.
Oh.
She might have more to sell.
Hmm.
Listen, I know where she lives, if you want What, now? Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Uh, mai? You took my painting.
I'm taking my hour break.
Cover on table five! Good.
theresa, hey.
were you looking at this? Yeah.
Actually, I was thinking of buying it.
Oh, that's funny.
I was, too.
Yeah, that is funny.
Someone buying something here, ladies? Yes.
Uh, how much is this? Yeah.
How much do you want? A steal at $5.
Look at the stitchwork around this unicorn's nostrils! Seriously, sara, I saw it first.
No.
As a matter of fact, you didn'T.
Did I say $5? I meant $50.
What's going on here? Shh.
Biding war.
Will you please let go now? I'm not walking away.
You're being ridiculous.
I am not gonna ask you again.
Take your hands off my quilt! Hey! Stop it, all right? Quit it.
Hey! Hey! It's just a stupid quilt.
Let go now! oh, my god! Ben? Ben! One more deep breath.
good.
You didn't have a heart attack.
what was it then? Ventricular tachycardia-- rapid heartbeat.
Probably from stress.
You just need some rest.
I'll take him home.
Hmm.
I want to see you in my office tomorrow.
Okay.
Ben, I'm so sorry.
Oh, forget it.
I was the idiot who got himself between two women and a unicorn.
Come on.
I'll take you home.
But what about the bar? The town can survive without beer for a few days.
Uh, the man has a work ethic.
Let him run his business theresa, the fishing boats are coming in tonight, and there's a cake in the refrigerator for patrick.
You go open the bar.
I can drive myself home.
You're not going alone.
I can do it.
I mean, I can open the chieftain.
Oh, god bless you, woman.
Theresa, let me help.
You stay with your husband.
So what did the publisher say about the chapter? He said that people don't want to buy fluff.
He said I need to get into my feelings again.
That's hard.
It's not a walk in the park-- putting it all out there, exposing how I feel again.
It's scary.
Yeah.
you know, I like her--lynn.
It kinda kills me,but I do.
I like how direct she is, and I don't mean that in a way that means I really mean she's obnoxious.
I-I mean it in a good way.
You know, she's always had that, ever since she was a kid.
we go back a long way, marin.
Please.
You don't haveto explain.
I get it.
I hate it a little, but I get it.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I just don't have any other paintings to sell.
They're all packed up and shipped.
Well, that is too bad.
I really loved that painting.
Now where were you when I was trying to make a living as an artist? Excuse me? Uh, minnie owned a fishing boat.
Oh.
Stood on my own two feet when a lot of men in this town didn't think that was possible.
Good for you.
Oh, my god.
What? * you can do whatever you want * * be whatever you wanna be * this is it.
This is the painting.
Yeah.
I was sitting right there when I painted that, just a few weeks after I finished building this place.
You built this cabin? With my own two hands.
Wow.
Is it for sale-- the cabin? Marin.
What? Yes, it's for sale.
Are you serious, dear? I think I am.
Well, I'll put on the tea, and we can talk turkey.
Marin.
Are you sure? This place is a mess.
Well, then it will be my mess.
I'll fix it up.
I've got two hands, too.
Look out there.
It's worth it, right? * You can do whatever you want to do today * ow! Patrick? Patrick? It--it's a havahart trap.
Ooh, I think it has-a-me.
I'll go get help.
Drive fast.
Okay.
Wait.
Wait.
Where? The chieftain.
No, you can't go there.
Annie, stop! Patrick, your foot could be hurt! I don't care.
I love you more than my foot.
I love how good you are in an emergency.
I love you.
Will you please marry me? Oh, my god! I'm sorry we're in the dump.
Yes! I'll marry you, patrick.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, oh.
And--and I love the dump! I do, too now.
Oh, patrick, you're crying.
I am in ooh so much pain.
Oh.
Will you get help, please? I love you! I love you, too! oh.
hey.
Hey.
* all I want * well, what did you want to show me? * Is to write myself a tune * you got it back.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's, uh, stuff that I want to keep.
* Wrote a song for everyone * * and I couldn't even talk to you * * got myself arrested wound me up in jail * * richmond * nice view.
yeah, I think so.
Thanks for coming by.
Thanks for inviting me.
I brought you a present oh.
From the rummage sale.
Hey.
Thanks.
And, uh, it comes with an apology.
I was too harsh about what you wrote.
Well, it wasn't my dream review.
I'll give you that, but you were right.
It was one man's opinion, delivered poorly.
I should've taken your feelings more into account.
Seriously, don't let the curls fool you.
I'm pretty tough, and I like that you told me what you thought.
Believe me, that is rare in a guy.
Don't stop doing it.
I won'T.
I gotta go, so well, I wish you could stay for a glass of water, assuming I have running water.
You're my first houseguest.
I'll be back.
Okay.
Elmo grows on you.
Some even say it's inspiring.
* Wrote a song for everyone * hey,thanks for the gift.
Oh, yeah.
You need to get it fixed.
The, uh, the period doesn't work.
Oh.
Uh, you know what? That's fine.
I don't think I'm ready for my story to have a period yet.
To be continued.
* Saw the people standin' * thoreawrote, "if you built castles in the air, "your work need not be lost.
"That is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them.
" history can be messy and painful, but it's not our destruction.
If we're lucky, it's our foundation.
They could have saved a million people * how can I tell you? * * But I wrote a song for everyone * you just have to work your way through the mess to find what matters * wrote a song for everyone * to find the pieces of your past you still want to carry with you.
I want you to move back in.
* Wrote a song for everyone * * wrote a song for truth * * wrote a song for everyone * and sometimes, if you have st the right view and just the right castle, you can build the foundation for your new history, all by yourself.
* Wrote a song for truth * * wrote a song for everyone * * and I couldn't even talk to you *
I don't get it.
We start dating, and she runs.
What if she never comes back? Stuart, I want you to be my publisher.
We kissed.
You and jack? Marin, stop.
Yeah, you want to go back to your pregnant ex-girlfriend? That's fine with me 'cause I'll tell you something, buddy boy, yojust lost yourself a great catch.
(Paolo nutini's "new shoes" playing) * woke up cold one tuesday * * I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick * * I felt like there was something missing in my day-to-day life * * so I quickly opened the wardrobe * * pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean * * topped it off with a pair of old shoes * * that were ripped around the seams * * and I thought, "these shoes just don't suit me" * * hey, I put some new shoes on * good morning.
Oh, hi.
Do you have a deadline? Why would you say that? 'Cause you've cleaned this entire inn over the last four days.
Oh.
Now I once knit a whole dress instead of setting up my first photography exhibit.
Well, this is my writing process.
I ruminate while I'm throwing out I have no idea.
I am looking for a trash bag.
I threw out the trash twice.
Oh, I-I need a bag for some old stuff I'm donating to the elmo rummage sale.
You know, it's to benefit the moose lodge.
Oh.
They're still trying to build an actual lodge.
You know, they're always looking for volunteers.
I mean, if you're looking for a new project okay, thanks.
all right, elmo.
Hope you're feeling a little trashy today because it's that time of year again-- the elmo moose rummage sale is just around the corner.
So bring those donations down to grange hall and grab a sneak peek at the plethora of merchandise that'll be up for sale in just a few days.
Pickings this year are anything but slim, running the entire rummage spectrum from entirely useless crap to entirely useful crap.
So come on down! Hey, jack.
Hey, marin, hey.
What you got there? Extra havaharts.
Uh, it's a humane trap.
Catches an animal, but it doesn't hurt 'em.
Then you drive 'em out to the woods and let 'em go.
And no one gets hurt.
Yeah.
Some people have a lot of crap, huh? Yeah.
um, listen, in the spirit of letting go of crap we're good, right? Moving on or back or how about friends? Great.
Friends.
Simple.
We were always good at that.
No early birds! You can't buy until the sale! Oh, no, I was just dropping these off.
Uh, table seven--traps and lures.
And I'm not an early bird.
I'm a volunteer.
After my radio show, I am all yours.
You're gonna love being a volunteer.
I am learning so much about ornization from my mommai.
Okay, miss volunteer, what you gonna donate? Uh, I don't know.
Why don't you ask the woman who stole all my new york clothes? Oh, that was funny, wasn't it? Good times.
Yeah.
So what you got for mai? I'm not hanging on to things anymore.
In new york, my apartment was stuffed.
I could have given you 30 boxes of tchotchkes.
Oh, why do you torture mai? I moved back to elmo with two suitcases.
I'm living light.
You know what thoreau said-- "our life is frittered away by detail.
Simplify, simplify.
" Why simplify when you can buy tchotchkes? Hey, you! Stop! Shotguns go on table six.
Go on.
Go.
Sorry I'm late.
Actually, you're early.
Avoiding writing, huh? Oh.
what is with ye oldie music? The ears want what the ears want, just like the heart.
I'm gonna propose to annie tonight.
patrick, you are? You're gonna ask her again? second time's the charm.
I have the perfect plan as perfect as the pie.
"will you marry me?" No, not you.
Annie.
uh, yeah, I get it.
I'm taking her to sitka szechuan, and they're gonna slip it in her fortune cookie.
A proposal and a cookie-- what could top that? Uh, I can'T think of a thing.
Actually, it sounds like every girl's dream-- every girl who likes chinese food.
Yeah, thanks, but keep your chopsticks crossed, 'cause the last proposal went over like a lead balloon-- a fiery, weeping, screaming, sad lead balloon.
Well, you can't dwell on that.
If the first time wasn't lead-filled, you'd never be able to propose in a cookie.
Listen to the silver lining lady.
It's true.
If you hold on to the bad stuff in your past you won't have anything to donate to the rummage sale.
Oh, yeah.
There you go.
You're on.
okay, so elmo, rummage sale fever is upon us.
A lot of people e getting rid of a lot of stuff-- making room, and, uh, there is a lot of baggage out there on those tables, people, so I guess my question to you is how much baggage do you have to get rid of in order to move forward? get up here.
Wait, wait.
What time is it? who cares? Why'd you wear so many shirts? I was cold.
Wait.
Hey, hey.
Hey, I just put that back on.
I don't know why.
We can be fast.
No, we can'T.
thanks for coming over for lunch.
I gotta go back to the office.
oh, my god.
It's like we're in high school.
All we do is lie around and make out.
Well, who doesn't like making out? Yeah, I love it when it's the start of something more.
You know, we're not 15.
We haven't even gone to second base.
I'm--I'm sorry.
Did you just say "second base"? Yes, I did.
How screwed up is that? Remind me.
Is second base over ounder the shirt? His shirt has not come off.
I can tell you that.
I'm really confused.
So am I.
You guys are back together, right? Yeah.
I mean, he said he wants to try again.
So what's the holdup? I don't know.
Well, it's hard to go back.
A lot's happened between you guys.
I can't pretend that ben didn't hook up with sara when we were split up or maybe it's a physical thing.
Maybe he doesn't want to hurt the baby? Yeah, someone else's baby.
It's complicated.
Maybe he just doesn't want me anymore.
I'm damaged goods.
Honey, we're all damaged goods.
Doesn't mean we don't deserve to be happy.
Hey, can you rescue me here? I can't find the pretzels, and jerome is driving me crazy.
Sure.
Be back.
Did you even look? They're right here.
I know.
This was all just a cheap ruse to get you back here.
Oh.
Mmm.
I can be cheap.
Sara.
Hey.
* what you are, what you are, what you are * Hey.
I didn't know you were back.
I didn't know you were, either.
Uh I'll go feed jerome.
When did you get home? A few days ago.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Because I didn't know I'm sorry.
I had no idea where you were.
I went and stayed at my mom's for a little while.
I just needed to think things out.
Look, I'm sorry about what happened--the way I left.
I made a mistake.
I made a lot of mistakes.
I thought that we had something between us.
We did.
Of course we did.
But you left.
I left elmo, but I still had feelings for you, ben.
I ahem.
Got some thirsty guys out here.
I'll, uh, see you guys around.
come on.
This is really beautiful.
I like painting lakes.
They don't move, and they don't chase you up a tree.
it really feels like elmo.
I'm gonna miss this place.
I'm moving down south-- minneapolis.
Oh.
Gonna live with my idiot of a son.
if you really like this picture, we can make a deal.
no early birds! Thanks, but I'm not shopping today.
I saw you trying to jump the gun.
All right.
First off, you gotta cool it with the bullhorn.
Secondly, I am not buying this painting.
I'm not buying anything.
Oh, something will tickle your fancy.
I don't need anything.
I like living this way, without all the clutter.
I like being light.
Don't start throwing the thoreau again.
hey, no personal phone calls until your break.
oh.
Don't worry.
I am not getting this call.
It's from my publisher.
He's looking for my next chapter.
I'm a little behind.
So are we.
Here.
Start unloading these boxes from jack.
this is so interesting.
I've never had mu shu moose before.
You should save the rest for tomorrow.
Always better the next day.
Are we in a hurry? Do I have moose in my teeth? Hell, no.
Just wanted you to save some room.
You know what they have for dessert? No.
Ah! fortune cookies! thank you! I love these things-- the rest of your life spelled out for you and tucked inside a delicious sugary wafer.
go ahead.
Crack that psychic puppy.
so, uh, what you got there? "You will live with the energy of a tiger" in bed.
What? Do you ever do that? I-I like to add "in bed" to the fortune.
It's funny and sexy.
Let me see that.
No, that's wrong.
Why? I-I'm not gonna live with the energy of a tiger? Do you know something? No, you're fine.
Totally a tiger.
Oh, man.
What does yours say? "You will flourish in the world of finance.
" In bed.
Mm, no.
It doesn't work with that one.
Oh, my god! Yes! Yes, yes, I'll marry you! congratulations! Isn't that the most romantic thing ever? Everyone in the restaurant was congratulating them.
One guy even offered them a low-interest home loan for an engagement present! It was a nightmare.
Stupid jerk cookie.
Patrick, why don't you just tell her what happened? She'll laugh.
Right.
Ha ha.
"What a loser I am.
"Will you marry me, annie? And then we can suck together for all eternity.
" Patrick she said it was the best proposal ever.
How am I gonna top that? I'm just a man, marin.
Just a man.
You don't have to top it.
Just pick a normal moment.
The second you propose, it will be plenty special, believe me.
We're back, elmo.
Let's go to, uh, duncan in upper copper corner on line five.
Uh, hi, duncan in upper copper corner.
Uh, how can I help you? hey.
So I don't know what to do about my girlfriend.
Fiancée, actually, I guess.
What's the problem? Well, I was going to break up with her, so I took her out, and I was getting up the nerve, and then she got this fortune cookie with a proposal in it.
hello? Am I still on? Uh, uh, yes, uh, you're still on, duncan.
So this girl I was gonna dump, and she's, like, all happy, and I'm trapped.
I mean, what do I do? Um and who's out there putting "will you marry me?" into a random fortune cookie? That's like emotional terrorism.
wow.
"Making out"-- haven't heard that in a while.
Yeah, on the couch after lunch.
What happened next? What do you mean? Did you ask her to go steady? Come on, man.
You know what I'm talking about.
What went down next? I'm not talking to you about that.
Don't be a tease, man.
Actually, I can't talk to you about it because we haven't done anything else.
it's fine.
And all you guys are doing is making out? Yeah, we are.
Don't you want more? I'm taking it slow.
Because of marin? No.
You know, it's not always about another woman, mr.
"I have two chicks after my ass.
" Hey, is there a pay phone in here? I can't get a signal on this.
Yeah, we-- well, actually, jerome's on with his mother.
It might be a while.
Ah.
Go on, jack.
It's your shot.
Excuse me.
Are you jack, uh, "menaissance" jack? Uh, yeah.
Yeah, I read about you in marin frist's "new yorker" piece.
Yeah, who didn't? she's a pretty talented woman.
Yes, she is.
I feel like I know you already.
hey, you guys know where I could find her? We might.
Yeah, what do you want with her? Oh, uh, I'm not a stalker, gentlemen.
I'm stuart-- stuart.
What a surprise.
Spiffy apron.
Oh, um, I'm on lunch break from the rummage sale.
What are you doing here? Well, I was visiting one of my writers in seattle, and I thought I'd take advantage of the company jet and come see you.
Fancy.
See elmo, see what inspires you and see why you missed your first deadline.
So do you always fly in to personally put pressure on your writers? No.
No, just the ones I wanna have dinner with.
ahem! Oh, guys, uh, this is stuart maxson, my publisher, from new york.
Hey.
Hey.
Hi.
So how about it? I'll trade you some pages for dinner tonight.
It's a great way to procrastinate.
dinner, yeah.
Dinner's good.
Great.
Hey, look at you, volunteering at the rummage.
I'm doing my part for the moose.
Oh, wow.
Creedence-- i love this album.
You know how some records are a soundtrack for part of your life? This was high school.
I was more of a talking heads girl.
yeah, I like them, too.
Uh, "little creatures"? "Speaking in tongues.
" "Burning down the house"? "Burning down the house.
" You can take that.
I don't want to cross mai.
She scares me.
No joke, but it's okay.
You can take the album.
It was jack'S.
Jack donated this? Yeah, he got rid of a whole box of records.
Want to look through? No, thanks.
You really can take it.
That's okay.
I guess he wanted to get rid of it.
But thanks.
No problem.
Wow, this place is really clean.
look who's back in my bathroom.
I thought it would be better for matty if I left him in juneau with my mom for a while, until I get my act together.
Wow, that must've been hard.
It was.
It is.
I'm leaving the hospitality business.
That's great.
Time to hang up the handcuffs.
I'm happy for you.
You're making a change.
I'm not the only one making a change.
Ben and theresa-- how'd that happen? I still want to be with him.
I know.
I gave up that right when I skipped town.
I left town, and lynn came back.
I heard.
You okay? Yeah.
I'm moving on.
I'm moving out.
Oh, my god.
You're moving out? Yeah.
I don't need the office anymore.
hey.
Hey.
Wow, that's a dress.
Oh.
well, thanks.
Uh, where are you headed? Skating.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Hey.
Oh, hi, stuart.
Hi.
Jack, good to see you again.
Hey.
Wow, you look great.
Oh, thanks.
I should wear this dress every day.
Let me help you with that.
Thank you.
thanks.
should we go? Yeah.
You have a good time, coach.
Uh, you, too.
So what do you think? I think this beats the corner table at da silvano-- cheaper wine, better view, outstanding company.
And at night you can't see the bear poop.
you're funny.
Usually beautiful girls aren't funny.
You're sweet.
I'm honest.
Okay.
Then what did you think about my new pages? Well, there's a lot in there that's good.
Wow.
Damning with faint praise.
Well, what you wrote about the landscape was pretty, but after your first chapter, this just felt a little, um ahem.
Fluffy.
Well, that was intentional.
I wanted something breezier.
You know, it seems like you're avoiding things.
But thoreau wrote about the land.
He wrote a whole book about a pond, for god sakes.
You gave me that book.
Thoreau wrote about the wilderness because it made him feel things more deeply.
It wasn't a travel log.
Ouch.
I'm being honest.
what made that first chapter great was that it was messy and-- and complicated.
Can I ask you something? What made me think I was a writer in the first place? Why didn't you write about the messy stuff-- what you were feeling? Mostly, I was feeling lousy.
It wouldn't have been a fun read.
If I wanted fun, I would have commissioned a pop-up book.
I guess I lost my muse.
Hmm or he started dating someone else.
No, jack was not my muse.
Not your only muse.
Elmo was its own character.
It inspired you.
You're a gifted writer, marin, but you gotta get back into this place, build a foundation.
Be a part of something instead of just skating over the surface.
oh, it's so beautiful here.
I forgot.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
So why'd you sell the clearwater? I saw it at the rummage sale.
You love that album.
We played it-- all the time, I know.
Remember the first night at the house? "Lodi" on repeat.
Yeah.
Cold meat loaf that was a great night.
Yeah, I know.
Look, every single thing in that house said something about you and me, and I just needed to let some of it go.
But we build that up together.
We lived together.
We used to sleep together.
Why aren't we now? I mean, why are we acting like we're still in high school? It was simple back then.
How much simpler can I make it? I'm here.
I wanna be with you.
I thought you wanted to be with me.
But you're pregnant.
Okay.
That's part of who I am now.
But don't throw the baby out with the clearwater, jack.
* Cleansing water, feed my soul * * cleansing water * * cleansing water, feed my soul * "Pitiful.
" Your turn.
I'm thinkin'.
"mart"? That's it.
Mart-- that's my word.
Patrick, you can do better than that.
Oh, I'm trying as hard as I can.
I should go help mommai organize the mukluks.
Have a nice day "cutie.
" bye.
Hey, annie.
See ya.
You're her cutie.
Oh.
She should have spelled "wimp.
" Why? I choked.
It was perfect, too.
She even spelled "querida.
" Wow.
She says it means "the girl you love.
" She is really good at this game.
I was good, too.
I had my tiles, ready to spring.
So what happened? I started thinking about fortune cookies, thinking about the pie, thinking about failure, and then wham! "Mart.
" Patrick, don't worry.
There will be another moment.
But will it be perfect? I mean, as perfect as it needs to be? What if I'm jinxed? I don't think I can do this.
I don't think I'm a proposer.
+, So what are you, then? A "die-aloner.
" N-o, you "aren't-er.
" I got an emergency.
I need an engagement party.
Hey, congratulations.
You and annie? Patrick, that's great.
No.
No, I can't propose-- that's the emergency.
So why am i throwing you a party? 'Cause I'm putting a clock on it.
If there's a cake and sparklers waiting here this afternoon, I know I have to pop the question before annie sees it.
I'm using the old brain to control the heart.
Okay, okay.
One engagement party coming up.
You bring the fiancee.
Mission will be accomplished, sir.
Classifieds? I'm looking for a new job.
What about your old job? I'm moving on, finally.
Good for you.
Any prospects? Well, elmo's got a lot to offer a girl.
I could gut fish, I could pack fish or I could hose out the place where they gut and pack the fish.
I was hoping for something a little less smelly? Yeah.
hey, theresa.
Yeah, we're ready to order here.
Listen, ben, I'm sorry if I put you in a weird position the other day.
I've forgotten all about it.
I wish I could.
You know, I am back with theresa.
Wellthat doesn't mean I don't wanna throw my hat back in the ring.
Could you throw a couple burgers on for me, ben? I'm just making small talk that's all it is.
Like always.
Ben, the nice guy.
Listen, you have nothing to worry about.
I want to be with you.
Yeah, but when you made that decision, she wasn't here.
You think you and i are back together because sara wasn't here? You're my wife.
I wanna be with you.
I've always wanted to be with you.
I wanted to be with you even when you didn't want to be with me.
Yes, but you and sara had real feelings for each other, and now that she's back, I well, how did you expect me to feel? Well I'm not happy.
I'm not saying that's fair.
I'm just saying that that's how I feel.
Okay, okay.
So what can I do to make you feel better? Nothing.
I'm sorry.
Come on.
do, do, do, do, do oh, do, do, do, do Game faces, people! It's almost go time.
Anything good? Yeah.
Nobody likes records.
Everybody downloads now.
Oh.
Look, she probably gave this to him for his 15th birthday.
"Happy birthday, J.
Heart, lynn.
" Okay, you need to stop.
I'm fine.
fine.
You need to call your own radio show.
it's just-- this is amazing.
This is their history right here.
They were 15 together-- childhood sweethearts.
They are who they are because of each other.
I mean, she's his "heart, lynn.
" Okay.
"Heart, lynn" goes on the 5-cent table.
Game time! Open 'em up! Attention, shoppers! Cash only! No psonal checks! Snowshoes aren't going to sell themselves.
You have to push.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey ho! Having fun, vice president of rummage? I don't see why we can't fire volunteers if they're incompetent.
Uh, so, uh, I was thinking after the sale, maybe we could go for a walk, you know, down by the water.
Nothing special, and then head to the chieftain for a bite.
Oh! Sorry, patrick.
Mommai assigned us to take whatever doesn't sell and drive it to the dump.
Oh.
Are--are you mad? No, the, uh, dump's great this time of year.
Maybe we can go for a walk after.
Okay.
So I'm pretty sure that we've got the sides matching to each aw.
Look.
Oh! Cute.
Was that matty's? Yeah.
He's outgrown all of this.
Hmm.
It's time to get rid of it and start a new chapter.
I need one of the myself, especially since my publisher hated the one I've been working on.
Screw him.
Where is he? I'll give him a piece of my mind.
He's in anchorage for the day, meeting an up-and-coming poet.
But you know what? He was right.
I was just typing keeping my fingers busy.
I need inspiration.
My clients used to find this inspiring.
I'll think on that one.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hi.
How's business? Slow.
Not too much of a market for broken toasters these days.
Hey, uh, I think I made a bit of a mistake, giving this away.
How much is it? I thought I didn't want all this junk, but it's not all junk.
It's history.
That can be good to have sometimes.
Yeah.
Hey, um do you like this painting? Yeah, I do.
I do, too.
I'm thinking I might need some stuff.
Hands off, blondie! Unh-unh.
I'm not an eard.
I have my $5.
You're late bird now.
Too late.
Aw! Who bought it? I did.
Outsider art movement.
Good investment.
Mai, I really loved that painting.
Was that one of minnie's? Yeah.
You know her? Oh, yeah.
She's been painting since I was a kid.
Oh.
She might have more to sell.
Hmm.
Listen, I know where she lives, if you want What, now? Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Uh, mai? You took my painting.
I'm taking my hour break.
Cover on table five! Good.
theresa, hey.
were you looking at this? Yeah.
Actually, I was thinking of buying it.
Oh, that's funny.
I was, too.
Yeah, that is funny.
Someone buying something here, ladies? Yes.
Uh, how much is this? Yeah.
How much do you want? A steal at $5.
Look at the stitchwork around this unicorn's nostrils! Seriously, sara, I saw it first.
No.
As a matter of fact, you didn'T.
Did I say $5? I meant $50.
What's going on here? Shh.
Biding war.
Will you please let go now? I'm not walking away.
You're being ridiculous.
I am not gonna ask you again.
Take your hands off my quilt! Hey! Stop it, all right? Quit it.
Hey! Hey! It's just a stupid quilt.
Let go now! oh, my god! Ben? Ben! One more deep breath.
good.
You didn't have a heart attack.
what was it then? Ventricular tachycardia-- rapid heartbeat.
Probably from stress.
You just need some rest.
I'll take him home.
Hmm.
I want to see you in my office tomorrow.
Okay.
Ben, I'm so sorry.
Oh, forget it.
I was the idiot who got himself between two women and a unicorn.
Come on.
I'll take you home.
But what about the bar? The town can survive without beer for a few days.
Uh, the man has a work ethic.
Let him run his business theresa, the fishing boats are coming in tonight, and there's a cake in the refrigerator for patrick.
You go open the bar.
I can drive myself home.
You're not going alone.
I can do it.
I mean, I can open the chieftain.
Oh, god bless you, woman.
Theresa, let me help.
You stay with your husband.
So what did the publisher say about the chapter? He said that people don't want to buy fluff.
He said I need to get into my feelings again.
That's hard.
It's not a walk in the park-- putting it all out there, exposing how I feel again.
It's scary.
Yeah.
you know, I like her--lynn.
It kinda kills me,but I do.
I like how direct she is, and I don't mean that in a way that means I really mean she's obnoxious.
I-I mean it in a good way.
You know, she's always had that, ever since she was a kid.
we go back a long way, marin.
Please.
You don't haveto explain.
I get it.
I hate it a little, but I get it.
I'm sorry, sweetie.
I just don't have any other paintings to sell.
They're all packed up and shipped.
Well, that is too bad.
I really loved that painting.
Now where were you when I was trying to make a living as an artist? Excuse me? Uh, minnie owned a fishing boat.
Oh.
Stood on my own two feet when a lot of men in this town didn't think that was possible.
Good for you.
Oh, my god.
What? * you can do whatever you want * * be whatever you wanna be * this is it.
This is the painting.
Yeah.
I was sitting right there when I painted that, just a few weeks after I finished building this place.
You built this cabin? With my own two hands.
Wow.
Is it for sale-- the cabin? Marin.
What? Yes, it's for sale.
Are you serious, dear? I think I am.
Well, I'll put on the tea, and we can talk turkey.
Marin.
Are you sure? This place is a mess.
Well, then it will be my mess.
I'll fix it up.
I've got two hands, too.
Look out there.
It's worth it, right? * You can do whatever you want to do today * ow! Patrick? Patrick? It--it's a havahart trap.
Ooh, I think it has-a-me.
I'll go get help.
Drive fast.
Okay.
Wait.
Wait.

No, you can't go there.
Annie, stop! Patrick, your foot could be hurt! I don't care.
I love you more than my foot.
I love how good you are in an emergency.
I love you.
Will you please marry me? Oh, my god! I'm sorry we're in the dump.
Yes! I'll marry you, patrick.

Thanks for coming by.
Thanks for inviting me.
I brought you a present oh.
From the rummage sale.
Hey.
Thanks.
And, uh, it comes with an apology.
I was too harsh about what you wrote.
Well, it wasn't my dream review.
I'll give you that, but you were right.
It was one man's opinion, delivered poorly.
I should've taken your feelings more into account.
Seriously, don't let the curls fool you.
I'm pretty tough, and I like that you told me what you thought.
Believe me, that is rare in a guy.
Don't stop doing it.
I won'T.
I gotta go, so well, I wish you could stay for a glass of water, assuming I have running water.
You're my first houseguest.
I'll be back.
Okay.
Elmo grows on you.
Some even say it's inspiring.
* Wrote a song for everyone * hey,thanks for the gift.
Oh, yeah.
You need to get it fixed.
The, uh, the period doesn't work.
Oh.
Uh, you know what? That's fine.
I don't think I'm ready for my story to have a period yet.
To be continued.
* Saw the people standin' * thoreawrote, "if you built castles in the air, "your work need not be lost.
"That is where they should be.
Now put the foundations under them.
" history can be messy and painful, but it's not our destruction.
If we're lucky, it's our foundation.
They could have saved a million people * how can I tell you? * * But I wrote a song for everyone * you just have to work your way through the mess to find what matters * wrote a song for everyone * to find the pieces of your past you still want to carry with you.
I want you to move back in.
* Wrote a song for everyone * * wrote a song for truth * * wrote a song for everyone * and sometimes, if you have st the right view and just the right castle, you can build the foundation for your new history, all by yourself.
* Wrote a song for truth * * wrote a song for everyone * * and I couldn't even talk to you *
