There's about two years of debris in that chimney.
Huh? Really.
Okay, well Great job, you guys.
Carry on.
And, uh, if you need anything-- I could make it any easier, you'll just let me know.

That's about how old i was when you took off.
But i'm my own man now.
I got my own life.
I make my own rules.
Mm-Hmm.
It just seemed wrong being strangers for no reason.
Mm.
I want to get to know you.
Me, too.

I like you.
And you're letting this happen in your house? Hey, theresa wants to throw lynn a baby shower.
I'm just the guy blowing up balloons.
Still don't know why the men have to be there.
Isn't this a lady function? Don't you talk about your hearts and your diapers? If i didn't make it coed, it would be four women sitting around a pot of fish ball soup.
I thought it'd be fun to mix it up.
Oh, speaking of, i think buzz is bringing his son.
I still can't believe i didn't know buzz had a son.
Another son.
How many secrets can one guy have? I think it's wild we're gonna meet him.
I wonder if he's like buzz.
Yeah, and what do they say to each other, after all this time? Probably something like, "Dad, how come you're making me go to a baby shower?" This is perfection.
No, perfection would be you not having to leave tomorrow.
Mm.
It has been a great vacation.
You know what? It's just paper.
My job.
It's paper, right? I've got six manuscripts to get through this week.
In new york, i'd just be holed up in my office.
I could dig a hole in elmofor a week.
Are you serious? Well, yeah.
The office is so '90s anyway.
I'm a walking wireless device.
So you think you could make elmo work for a week? Or maybe longer.
Oh, isn't it great? Think of all we'll get done this week, being back in the same time zone.
Oh.
And drinks after work, just like old times.
Well, at least one part of my life will be productive.
I can't get anythingone at the house.
It's like the guys thought i was joking when i hired them.
Well, marin, you're not exactly a taskmaster.
You've had me making burgers for them every day.
I don't know what else to do.
I'm just trying to be nice.
And frankly, they are being a little bit rude.
Maybe that's your problem.
I'm sorry.
Do i know you? Oh, cash.
Short for cassius.
Oh.
Okayand, uh, what's my problem? You're too nice.
You don't even know me.
But i know your type.
Might not wanna go there, cash.
She's a relationship coach.
Figures.
You're the type of girl who wants to be liked, The girl who feeds her construction guys, when really, she should be yelling at them.
Don't mind cash.
He lives in a tent.
It's not a tent.
It's a portable home.
Wherever i go with it, that's home.
Hey, ben, you need more help on your roof? Uh, no, man.
I finished that up.
How's work going otherwise? Pretty good.
I'm not as well-Fed as what's-Her-Name's workers.
Marin.
Look, happy hobo, marin's just a good person.
Exactly.
I'm nice by nature.
Where does that get ya? Where does being rude get you? You know what? I'm not gonna be analyzed by a drifter who lives under a tarp.
Hey, marin.
You got a minute? Sure.
Oh, hey, uh, i gotta scoot.
I got a phone thing.
Okay.
I wanted to give you this.
Baby shower, wow.

Thank you so much.
Yes, i'd like to check into sara's old office.
I hear it was very productive.
Well, it depends on what your, uh, business requirements are.
Are your requirements as, uh, satiny as hers? I need power cords, young man, lots of power cords.
Can we do that? Absolutely.
Coffee? I'm a fan.
For me.
Oh, got the pot on right now.
A little java.

I told sam i wouldn't bring work home with me.
Oh, god.
I'm speaking relationship.
That is so great.
Oh Look what i brought home with me.
Oh, i know.
Sam got one, too.
It's not like she actually wants me to come, is it? 'Cause i gotta tell you, i really don't wanna go.
So don't.
I'm only going with sam so i can glare at her from the corner and make her feel bad.
I like your thinking, but you don't have to do that.
Please, it's the least i could do.
If i don't go, won't it be so obvious that i'm uncomfortable? Won't you be uncomfortable if you do go? Sure, but no one will see that.
I'll show them i'm fine with everything.
Buy the perfect gift, smile, eat baby cake.
It's the polite thing to do, isn't it? I don't know, honey.
I don't do etiquette.
So the reunion's a success? Oh, all signs point to awesome.
We're all having dinner tonight.
Oh, don't you ever worry if it might get awkward? I mean, buzz walked out on george, what, 30 years ago? You can't think like that.
You do a good deed.
You get good results.
Oh.
Tell me something, elmo.
This is a nice small town.
You're experts at being neighborly, But some people thin that laying down the welcome mat makes you a doormat.
What do you think? Do nice boys and girls have to finish last? Here we go! Wow.
What do we have here? Glad you asked.
We've got some kung pao mai, soy-Poached mai.
Wow.
We have some buzz pot stickers.
There we go.
And mu shu.
I stuffed the buzz stickers.
Okay, everybody dig in.
Hey, so, george, how's everything in detroit, huh? What kind of business do you have? I, uh, run a chain of fat camps for kids.
Huh? Teach them how to eat right, have fun.
Moreo life than mallomars.
Cool.
I love camp.
That's so beautiful.
My brother danny was chubby as a kid.
My mother wired his mouth shut.
You way sounds better.
Thank you.
So, working with kids, huh? That's great, great.
Your wife must be pretty proud of you, huh? No.

I'm from new york.
I love your people.
Oh, and i love your skin.
* it feels so good on top of the world * The boy is-- Yes, the boy is gay, buzz.
Get a clue.
I knew the minute i saw cashmere socks.
You were fine five minutes ago.
So get your butt back to that table.
Go.
Go.
I always wanted to have a fabulous gay friend.
Now i can be just like karen on "will & grace.
" You still like me though, right? Of course i do.
But the white straight man gets enough attention.
Come on.
Let's go back in.
All right.
I didn't mean to throw you are a big loop there, buzz.
Me? Oh, i am fine.
I fly planes upside down.
Takes a lot to rattle me.
Yeah.
You're disturbingly hot, but i can't do this right now.
But it's 1:00, and we always take a 1-Hour lunch.
That was on vacation, sam.
So you can't take a little break? I have already taken a huge break.
Come on, sam.
I need to keep new york time if this is gonna work.

Sam, don't be mad.
I'm not.
I'm not.
We're good.
Hey, everybody.
Hey.
I want you to meet my gay son, george.
Okay, you don't have to try that hard.
On the house.
What? Gays get to drink for free? Hell, i'll hold your hand for a minute.
It's because he's buzz's son.
And you're, uh, gay, huh? That's, uh interesting.
Thank you.
Uh, your lifestyle sounds kinda good to me-- no women, no drama, no heartbreak.
That's pretty much how you have it now, jerome.
It's not that simple.
Who makes the first move? Is--Is one guy a pansy if he waits for the other? I guess we're a little bit more direct than the straights.
Um, if we wanna hook up, we do, and if we don't, we don't.
Yeah, i see what you mean.
You wanna take a guy out on a date, you can just go ice fishing.
I prefer ice dancing.
You got the drift.
This is nice, buzz.
Yeah.
I-I wanted to show you the place Have you meet my friends.
Welcome.
Cheers.
Yeah Hey, sunshine.
How's the house coming? Oh.
You.
Well, seeing that i'm buying a hammer, not so well.
Your crew take a hike? Something like that.
Oh, you muste loving this.
I'm just wondering how you're gonna renovate an entire house with a single hammer.
I'm getting other things.
Hey, coach.
Oh, hi, jack.
Getting stuff for the baby shower? Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Can i bring anything? Um, you're coming? Well, i was invited, right? Oh, yeah.

I'll be there.
Yeah.
Now you try.
Hmm? Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring ring! Hello.
Jane burns' office.
Patrick speaking.
How can i help you? Better.
Yeah.
Now if we could just get rid of that hostage victim tone you're working.
Where'd you get your phone skills, anyway? I was a host at casa de pasta.
Man, you're so worldly.
Oh! Hey, marin! Want some help? Yeah! Thanks.
What's in here, anyway? Uh, it's my baby present for lynn.
What do you got, a nanny? How'd you guess? Okay.
Ready? Yep.
Go! One! Whoo! Oh! Another one! Go! There we go! Honey, what's happening? Some of us are trying to work.
Well, apparently.
What's with the business attire? When i'm in work mode, i wear my work clothes.
It gives my voice a more authoritative tone.
What the hell is that? It's my present for lynn.
Oh, i get it.
You went out and got her a big old present so she has no choice but to like you.
What? That is not true.
I thought about it, and i wanted to show her that i really am happy for her.
Besides, i like lynn.
Right, just like you brought baked goods and burgers to your contractor.
You wanted him to know you really, really liked him.
The is nothing wrong with a nice gesture.
But what is it gonna get you, honey? When are you gonna get your gigantic present? I know it's a long shot, max.
Just make it happen.
And if they ask again, just tell them i'm at that conference in sag harb-- Aah! Aah! Oh, my god! Nothing, maxie.
I just really think we've got a chance at the booker with this one.
Talk soon.
Did you see that? What, the mouse? "What, the mouse"? That ran over my bare foot? That gave me the plague?! It's okay.
Relax.
It's more scared of you than you are of it.
That is just something parents tell their children so they don't think about vermin crawling into their ears at night.
Well, i think it's gone back into hiding.
He'll come out when he's ready.
And then what? We give him a cocktail and some petits fours? They've invented something for this, sam.
They're called traps.
I'm not gonna kill it.
You're not? No.
I live on a houseboat.
It's winter.
It's cold.
Mice come in now and then.
And mate and poop and have a million babies.
Yes, i know all this.
We have to take care of it.
Okay, boss.
What is that supposed to mean? Nothing.
It's just Since you've started working, you're just less fun.
Seriously? Well, you know what? Mice aren't fun.
Look, it's gone.
There's nothing we can do about it tonight.
Now would you like to have some dinner? Sure you don't wanna go out? Ole? Oh, this is so exciting! You know, i buy and i sell clothes online, but i never get to see them on display.
I gotta say, us washington men know how to wear those clothes.
Oh! I've gotta show you some pictures of buzz.
He looked just like you.
Hold on.
You got yourself a good woman.
Hey, your mother was a good woman, too.
You don't have to say that.
No, no, i do.
It was a nasty divorce, george.
Nell didn't want me seeing you.
I could've tried harder.
Okay, well Thank you.
Ah.
George, you're a good man.
Who knows? Maybe if i'd have stayed around while you were growing up, You would've turned out different.
Different? You know, maybe if you'd had a man around, a father to to teach you things, Maybe you'd have had, you know, a different lifestyle.
Uh, george, uh, I'm just trying to say a good thing here.
But you're saying an ignorant thing.
I did not decide to be gay because i didn't have a father.
You know the one good thing about not having you around? I never had to worry about disappointing my dad.
Where'd he go? Okay, elmo, here's that '80s set you requested.
Hey, bro.
Come down here to spin some tunes with me? Actually, i'm cutting my trip short.
I just think that Buzz and i are better off as strangers.
Look, our dad--He's an old-Fashioned kind of guy.
I mean, he's not "street" like you and me, you know? He'll come around.
It took a while for him and me to bond.
It's too late for us.
So coming here was a total bust? No.
I wanted to see myself in my father's face, you know? Answer some questions.
But he's not gonna give me the peace that i'm looking for.
This stuff you're talking about-- How it sucks not to know family and spend your whole life having all these questions-- Now that's just gonna happen to us.
I'll give you two more days, But first we've gotta change this music.
* that i love you forever * * and i'm gonna keep on loving you * * 'cause it's the only thing i wanna do * * i just wanna keep on loving you * * ooh, ooh * I can't work.
Oh, good, me neither.
What's your excuse? I don't know if this is gonna work.
You knew that.
This place is like bedrock with less wi-Fi.
Oh, not the work thing.
The sam thing.
There's a mouse in the house.
Is that code? No, we're standing there, and this rodent runs over my feet, and i freak out and Sam's all plow guy and mellow.
What's the point of having a mountain man if he won't kill? Everyone is different on vacation.
I know that, but our entire relationship has been vacation.
Now i'm back in business mode, and i don't think You don't think real world jane is compatible with vacation jane? Maybe real world jane isn't compatible with real world plow guy.
Hmm.
He's so breezy.
I'm more of a gale force.
I thought you guys balanced each other out.
I don't know anymore.
The boat is rocking.
So he's gonna stay for a couple more days? That's great! We need to celebrate in style.
Well, i'm not sure what kind of party train you think we're driving here.
Resources are kind of limited, you know? Patrick, i am from new york city.
I know how to entertain a gay man on a budget.
They're charmed by my vintage but eclectic style.
We gotta crank things up a notch, annie.
We need to find george a rock-Solid reason to stay.
Sharon, look, you know i love the tundra, but i can't just eat elk.
For six months, i can't-- My cholesterol.
I mean, what's a man gotta do to get some berries around here? Black, blue, logan, huckle-- Anything.
Antioxidants--I need them.
Well, here we are.
Pretty cool, huh? And on tuesdays i deejay here.
Yeah! That must be quite the party.
There he is! Who? You didn't.
We did.
How far did you have to go to find the other gay guy in alaska? That's the thing.
He's just one town over.
George, terri.
Terri, george.
Nice to meet you.
Patrick bachelor, you should be ashamed of yourself.
You did not tell me this was a setup.
I asked you if you wanted a fun and adventurous night on the town.
Screams romance to me.
Do you know how offensive this is? You think just because we're both gay, we have something in common? He might not like the opera.
He might be a scorpio.
But i'm not.
And i love opera.
But aside from that Well, i didn't mean to offend anyone.
I just thought i was doing something nice.
"Nice" is telling a guy he's going on a date so he has time to do bicep curls.
That's nice.
Well, we might as well bowl.
How is playing cupid offensive? It's not.
Come on.
The night is young.
Hello? Is anybody here? Hey.
Don't you mean to say, "wow, cash, does this mean the plumbing works"? Oh, it does? Don't try to distract me.
What are you doing here? Look-- I'm trying not to.
Listen, i felt bad you weren't getting any work done on your house, So i did a little work, got a little dirty, I got in the tub.
And that never even occurred to you that that might be just a little bit, um, i don't know, illegal? It's the dead of winter out there.
A roof's a roof, plus you're not living here yet, right? No, but i had at least hoped that i would take a bath here before some stranger did.
I'm not a stranger.
We've had two conversations.
Three, if you count the last two minutes.
That's enough to marry people off in some countries.
Oh, thanks for the offer, but no.
How's this for an offer? I'll finish the work on your place, and you let me live here till it's done.
Oh, you wanna be my squatter? I don't like labels.
Well, i don't like bargaining with some naked, homeless lunatic.
Yeah, but you're thinking about it.
You need to get out of the tub.
Okay.
Wait! I didn't mean right this second! Well, i'm exhausted.
Time to hit the hay.
Right.
It's early, though.
You two enjoy.
Huh? See ya.
Subtle.
If patrick was an event, he'd be the running of the bulls.
I did have a good night.
You know, the amazing thing about elmo is you really can see every star known to man.
I always did admire orion's accessories.
Well Right.
Okay, so i'll see you around town? I guess so.
* I broke the heart of someone pure * * apologies fall short of cure * * i think i found the riddle here * * a broken heart has mending * Look i'm sorry I called you bossy the other day.
No, you're right.
I am bossy.
Oh, boy.
What? You're playing footsie with me.
No, i'm not.
You're not? Aah! Oh, my god! I was just sexually assaulted by a mouse.
Jane, calm down.
Sam, i will not calm down.
You're like a little kid, living on a leaky houseboat with stuart little.
Don't you ever feel bad living this way? I didn't till just now.
You know what? I'm I'm gonna just go to bed.
You owe me $4.
For what? For what? For the money i spent on two slices of pizza and 800 empty calories.
That date was a sham.
What are you talking about? I thought you and george had a great time.
You set my son up with this man? Hey, watch it, machismo.
It just so happens I am a great catch, But apparently not george's type.
Are you sure about that? 'Cause i thought last night was a love connection.
He gave me the shoulder squeeze.
Huh? That's gay for "i don't think so.
" You know what i think? I think he's a big, fat loser.
Hey, now you wait just one minute.
That's my son you're talking about.
George is a good man.
How would you know? You met him five minutes ago.
No, you can tell a man's character right away, and he's got a good heart.
And the work he does with those kids-- What is he, a party clown? No, he runs those camps-- You know, those fatty camps.
I'll tell you one thing.
He's a much better man than i ever was, that's for sure.
Fat camps? Yeah.
He was chubby as a kid, but he overcame it.
He overcame a lot of things.
He's got strong character-- My boy.
Yeah.
He's a big fat winner.
Excuse me.
Hmm.
He's a funny little man.
What did you wanna show me? I caught the mouse.
For me? Is it dead? No, he's right here.
Ohh! Don't show me.
Look, normally i'd let the little guy leave on his own, But you got so upset, i figured i could at least move him along.
I want this to work.
Me, too.
Thank you, sam.
Can you please put it down, though? This way, it's humane.
No one gets hurt-- Not the mouse and not us.
Oh, my god.
Hey.
Why didn't you tell me? Tell you what? Why didn't you tell me you ran a camp for fatties? I don't like to brag.
Who told you? Your father.
My father doesn't know me from adam.
He can't stand the fact that i'd go for adam.
Yeah, well, your father just went misty for you at the chieftain-- Couldn't have been prouder than if he'd cut the cord himself.
Seriously? Yeah.
Listen, mister, what you do for a living I was a childhood fatty, And just knowing you're out there changing lives, Well, it makes my knees buckle.
I was a childhood fatty, too.
Is that why you didn't touch me the other night? It takes two to tango.
Well, like i said, i didn't do my bicep curls and i was feeling flabby.
And i've been indulging myself on vacation--Love handles.
Back fat.
I don't think so.
Come here.
You're feeling it right now, aren't you? There is such a thing as good fat- -Almonds, avocados And hello! That is all muscle.
Guilty! * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * Marin, hi.

Oh, my god.
You were right.
It's huge.
Put your name on the card.
Unh-Unh, honey.
Oh, come on.
It could be from both of us.
I'm staying out of this.
I've done enough damage for one day.
Why? What happened? A hawk ate the mouse.
Are we still talking in code? I thought i'd be thrilled, but i feel awful.
I made sam get rid of it, and it got eaten alive.
Oh, my.
Our whole relationship is getting eaten alive.
You know what might make you feel better? Biting the head off a baby.
Thanks.
You always know just what i need.
I need a stiff drink.
You? Mm.
Oh, yeah.
Please tell me this is spiked.
I'll make it a double.
All right.
So this is fun, huh? Yeah.
Last baby shower i went to was matty's.
Oh, how is he? He's good.
He's back from his grandmother's, finally.
Hey, that's great.
Yeah.
So this must be, um, weird for you, huh? Is it written all over my face? No.
It's written all over that huge thing you wheeled in here.
Oh! I know.
* don't you think that you're in it somehow? * * some kind of sign from above? * Oh, jerome, it's adorable.
It's not for the baby.

You can take it back.
No, no.
No, seriously, it's no problem.
Take it back.
You can take it back and get cash or i'll take it back.
You shouldn't have to.
I'll take it back and give you the cash.
Is that weird to give you cash? Marin, pleas it's sweet.
No, and huge.
Sorry.
At least let me get it out of the way.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to.
It's way too big.
I don't know why they make something so big for such a little baby.
Don't do that.
You're pregnant.
Hold on, coach.
All right.
Okay.
All clear! So i heard what you said to terri.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Look, now is not the moment when i'm gonna hug you and call you "dad," but i wanted to meet you.
Now i have.
Yeah, but when do we get to know ea other, george, huh? I know it's my fault that we don't, but we could try.
I can't stay here.
I got my work to get back to, my life.
Yeah.
Well, how about a letter now and then, huh? Letters take time.
Maybe that's all we need, son.
I might be able to do that.
Baby shower, huh? That's one thing you'll never have to deal with.
Buzz, gay men can still have children.
I knew that.
I knew that.
I got some books i can send you.
Okay.
Hey, marin.
Um your gift Oh, i know.
It was a little crazy.
No, you know, it was really nice.
I just don't want you to feel like you have to do that.
I know this is a strange situation.
Look around.
We're past all that, right? I'm not past it.
Uh I got you that present so you would like me.
I thought if i got you some huge gift, things might not be so strange between us.
But don't you think things will always be strange between us? Yes.
I mean, i was trying to pretend like everything was fine, too.
I didn't think you'd even wanna come here today.
I gave you that invitation because i thought i had to.
You know, i really do think in another universe we would've been friends.
Yeah.
So maybe we don't have to try so hard to be in this one.
You're right.
Well, i'm glad we talked.
'Cause honestly, i think you're great, and i wish you the best, and i'm doing it again.
Ugh.
Can i leave? Yeah.
You don't need my permission.
I am the hawk.
What? You're just trying to live your life, and i'm the hawk, Swooping in, all type "a," criticizing you, ruining your whole type "b," "C," "d"-- Whatever it is--Vibe.
I'm i'm not sure i follow.
Maybe we're just too different.
I thought that's what made us work.
Maybe it did when i was on vacation.
But i'm different in the real world, And you're not, are you? I am who i am, jane.
Right.
You're vacation sam all the time, And i don't want you to feel bad about being that way, Bui can't feel bad about who i am, either.
I was hoping things would be different.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Maybe this isn't a relationship, sam.
Maybe this was a vacationship.
Maybe.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Oh! Sorry.
Didn't know where to knock.
Oh.
To what do i owe this visit? Well, i want to take you up on your offer to work on my house.
Oh, really? Yeah, but don't get too excited.
I'm gonna kick you out as soon as i move in.
As long as there's work to be done, you can stay there.
Deal? Deal.
Oh, and just so you know, the new me doesn't care if we're friends Right.
Right.
As children, we're taught to play nice, Share your toys, eat your vegetables, And if you don't have anything nice to say, Don't say it at all.
* takin' all that has come and gone * * you know we're wrong * But every time we bite our tongues, We know each other a little less.
* watching everyone hum along * * we're still untold * * fall in love, let it go * To spare someone's feelings, we hide our own.
For the record, jane, I was falling in love with you.
Stop it, sam.
You're only making this harder.
* all i wanna do is be true to my ways * And when you hide what you feel, you end up with regrets.
I love you, too.
* all i wanna do is be true to my ways * Being honest might not make you the most popular girl in the school yard, But it will earn you respect.

I fell in love th the place.
You fell in love with all the men.
Lynn's scared.
She thinks i'm only halfway in.
It's a girl.
He's my other son.
He was just a baby when i left.

No glass till tuesday.
Oh, okay.
Well, i got some muffins, so maybe after you take your break, You can take another little break and eat some of these.
Ooh, and maybe you can, uh, unclog the chimney? It'd be really great to have a fire in there.
There's about two years of debris in that chimney.
Huh? Really.
Okay, well Great job, you guys.
Carry on.
And, uh, if you need anything-- I could make it any easier, you'll just let me know.
* speak out, make up your mind be bold* * close your eyes to make a wish * I can't believe you're all grown up.
Picture in my head, you're 7, 8.
That's about how old i was when you took off.
But i'm my own man now.
I got my own life.
I make my own rules.
Mm-Hmm.
It just seemed wrong being strangers for no reason.
Mm.
I want to get to know you.
Me, too.
Hi! Hey, i want you to meet my wife mai.
Hi.
I'm george.
Oh, i know who you are! Let me look at you.
Oh, good face.
I like you.
And you're letting this happen in your house? Hey, theresa wants to throw lynn a baby shower.
I'm just the guy blowing up balloons.
Still don't know why the men have to be there.
Isn't this a lady function? Don't you talk about your hearts and your diapers? If i didn't make it coed, it would be four women sitting around a pot of fish ball soup.
I thought it'd be fun to mix it up.
Oh, speaking of, i think buzz is bringing his son.
I still can't believe i didn't know buzz had a son.
Another son.
How many secrets can one guy have? I think it's wild we're gonna meet him.
I wonder if he's like buzz.
Yeah, and what do they say to each other, after all this time? Probably something like, "Dad, how come you're making me go to a baby shower?" This is perfection.
No, perfection would be you not having to leave tomorrow.
Mm.
It has been a great vacation.
You know what? It's just paper.
My job.
It's paper, right? I've got six manuscripts to get through this week.
In new york, i'd just be holed up in my office.
I could dig a hole in elmofor a week.
Are you serious? Well, yeah.
The office is so '90s anyway.
I'm a walking wireless device.
So you think you could make elmo work for a week? Or maybe longer.
Oh, isn't it great? Think of all we'll get done this week, being back in the same time zone.
Oh.
And drinks after work, just like old times.
Well, at least one part of my life will be productive.
I can't get anythingone at the house.
It's like the guys thought i was joking when i hired them.
Well, marin, you're not exactly a taskmaster.
You've had me making burgers for them every day.
I don't know what else to do.
I'm just trying to be nice.
And frankly, they are being a little bit rude.
Maybe that's your problem.
I'm sorry.
Do i know you? Oh, cash.
Short for cassius.
Oh.
Okayand, uh, what's my problem? You're too nice.
You don't even know me.
But i know your type.
Might not wanna go there, cash.
She's a relationship coach.
Figures.
You're the type of girl who wants to be liked, The girl who feeds her construction guys, when really, she should be yelling at them.
Don't mind cash.
He lives in a tent.
It's not a tent.
It's a portable home.
Wherever i go with it, that's home.
Hey, ben, you need more help on your roof? Uh, no, man.
I finished that up.
How's work going otherwise? Pretty good.
I'm not as well-Fed as what's-Her-Name's workers.
Marin.
Look, happy hobo, marin's just a good person.
Exactly.
I'm nice by nature.
Where does that get ya? Where does being rude get you? You know what? I'm not gonna be analyzed by a drifter who lives under a tarp.
Hey, marin.
You got a minute? Sure.
Oh, hey, uh, i gotta scoot.
I got a phone thing.
Okay.
I wanted to give you this.
Baby shower, wow.
Yeah, we hope that you can come.
Yes.
Right.
Thank you so much.
Yes, i'd like to check into sara's old office.
I hear it was very productive.
Well, it depends on what your, uh, business requirements are.
Are your requirements as, uh, satiny as hers? I need power cords, young man, lots of power cords.
Can we do that? Absolutely.
Coffee? I'm a fan.
For me.
Oh, got the pot on right now.
A little java.
Say, i like your moxie.
How'd you like to be my assistant for a week? For real? Why not? How are you with powerpoint? Like that? That's great.
We'll get you in a training program, honey.
What are you doing here? Moving headquarters.
The houseboat proved to be a little damp for a paper-Based profession.
Thank you.
Oh bro, this is marin.
Hi.
Oh, marin, this is george.
It is so great you're here.
Mm.
Oh, this is my friend jane.
Oh, i'm sorry.
What's the relationship? Uh, patrick and i have the same dad.
Right, right.
So how long are you here for? Just a feways.
Chance to meet my dad.
And yours truly.
Hey, we gotta go meet annie.
See ya.
I think you'll find our setting both modest and inspiring-- the perfect office.
Oh, i hope so.
I told sam i wouldn't bring work home with me.
Oh, god.
I'm speaking relationship.
That is so great.
Oh Look what i brought home with me.
Oh, i know.
Sam got one, too.
It's not like she actually wants me to come, is it? 'Cause i gotta tell you, i really don't wanna go.
So don't.
I'm only going with sam so i can glare at her from the corner and make her feel bad.
I like your thinking, but you don't have to do that.
Please, it's the least i could do.
If i don't go, won't it be so obvious that i'm uncomfortable? Won't you be uncomfortable if you do go? Sure, but no one will see that.
I'll show them i'm fine with everything.
Buy the perfect gift, smile, eat baby cake.
It's the polite thing to do, isn't it? I don't know, honey.
I don't do etiquette.
So the reunion's a success? Oh, all signs point to awesome.
We're all having dinner tonight.
Oh, don't you ever worry if it might get awkward? I mean, buzz walked out on george, what, 30 years ago? You can't think like that.
You do a good deed.
You get good results.
Oh.
Tell me something, elmo.
This is a nice small town.
You're experts at being neighborly, But some people thin that laying down the welcome mat makes you a doormat.
What do you think? Do nice boys and girls have to finish last? Here we go! Wow.
What do we have here? Glad you asked.
We've got some kung pao mai, soy-Poached mai.
Wow.
We have some buzz pot stickers.
There we go.
And mu shu.
I stuffed the buzz stickers.
Okay, everybody dig in.
Hey, so, george, how's everything in detroit, huh? What kind of business do you have? I, uh, run a chain of fat camps for kids.
Huh? Teach them how to eat right, have fun.
Moreo life than mallomars.
Cool.
I love camp.
That's so beautiful.
My brother danny was chubby as a kid.
My mother wired his mouth shut.
You way sounds better.
Thank you.
So, working with kids, huh? That's great, great.
Your wife must be pretty proud of you, huh? No.
No wife.
Oh, uh your girlfriend then.
No, buzz.
I'm gay.
Sure.
Sure.
Oh! Arms in the air.
Arms in the air.
Come on.
Come on.
All right? I'm okay! I won't be offended if you go in there and gossip.
Oh! No.
I'm from new york.
I love your people.
Oh, and i love your skin.
* it feels so good on top of the world * The boy is-- Yes, the boy is gay, buzz.
Get a clue.
I knew the minute i saw cashmere socks.
You were fine five minutes ago.
So get your butt back to that table.
Go.
Go.
I always wanted to have a fabulous gay friend.
Now i can be just like karen on "will & grace.
" You still like me though, right? Of course i do.
But the white straight man gets enough attention.
Come on.
Let's go back in.
All right.
I didn't mean to throw you are a big loop there, buzz.
Me? Oh, i am fine.
I fly planes upside down.
Takes a lot to rattle me.
Yeah.
You're disturbingly hot, but i can't do this right now.
But it's 1:00, and we always take a 1-Hour lunch.
That was on vacation, sam.
So you can't take a little break? I have already taken a huge break.
Come on, sam.
I need to keep new york time if this is gonna work.
Okay.
I guess i'll see you later then.
Sam, don't be mad.
I'm not.
I'm not.
We're good.
Hey, everybody.
Hey.
I want you to meet my gay son, george.
Okay, you don't have to try that hard.
On the house.
What? Gays get to drink for free? Hell, i'll hold your hand for a minute.
It's because he's buzz's son.
And you're, uh, gay, huh? That's, uh interesting.
Thank you.
Uh, your lifestyle sounds kinda good to me-- no women, no drama, no heartbreak.
That's pretty much how you have it now, jerome.
It's not that simple.
Who makes the first move? Is--Is one guy a pansy if he waits for the other? I guess we're a little bit more direct than the straights.
Um, if we wanna hook up, we do, and if we don't, we don't.
Yeah, i see what you mean.
You wanna take a guy out on a date, you can just go ice fishing.
I prefer ice dancing.
You got the drift.
This is nice, buzz.
Yeah.
I-I wanted to show you the place Have you meet my friends.
Welcome.
Cheers.
Yeah Hey, sunshine.
How's the house coming? Oh.
You.
Well, seeing that i'm buying a hammer, not so well.
Your crew take a hike? Something like that.
Oh, you muste loving this.
I'm just wondering how you're gonna renovate an entire house with a single hammer.
I'm getting other things.
Hey, coach.
Oh, hi, jack.
Getting stuff for the baby shower? Uh, yeah.
Yeah.
Can i bring anything? Um, you're coming? Well, i was invited, right? Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Of course.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'll be there.
Yeah.
Now you try.
Hmm? Ring, ring, ring! Ring, ring ring! Hello.
Jane burns' office.
Patrick speaking.
How can i help you? Better.
Yeah.
Now if we could just get rid of that hostage victim tone you're working.
Where'd you get your phone skills, anyway? I was a host at casa de pasta.
Man, you're so worldly.
Oh! Hey, marin! Want some help? Yeah! Thanks.
What's in here, anyway? Uh, it's my baby present for lynn.
What do you got, a nanny? How'd you guess? Okay.
Ready? Yep.
Go! One! Whoo! Oh! Another one! Go! There we go! Honey, what's happening? Some of us are trying to work.
Well, apparently.
What's with the business attire? When i'm in work mode, i wear my work clothes.
It gives my voice a more authoritative tone.
What the hell is that? It's my present for lynn.
Oh, i get it.
You went out and got her a big old present so she has no choice but to like you.
What? That is not true.
I thought about it, and i wanted to show her that i really am happy for her.
Besides, i like lynn.
Right, just like you brought baked goods and burgers to your contractor.
You wanted him to know you really, really liked him.
The is nothing wrong with a nice gesture.
But what is it gonna get you, honey? When are you gonna get your gigantic present? I know it's a long shot, max.
Just make it happen.
And if they ask again, just tell them i'm at that conference in sag harb-- Aah! Aah! Oh, my god! Nothing, maxie.
I just really think we've got a chance at the booker with this one.
Talk soon.
Did you see that? What, the mouse? "What, the mouse"? That ran over my bare foot? That gave me the plague?! It's okay.
Relax.
It's more scared of you than you are of it.
That is just something parents tell their children so they don't think about vermin crawling into their ears at night.
Well, i think it's gone back into hiding.
He'll come out when he's ready.
And then what? We give him a cocktail and some petits fours? They've invented something for this, sam.
They're called traps.
I'm not gonna kill it.
You're not? No.
I live on a houseboat.
It's winter.
It's cold.
Mice come in now and then.
And mate and poop and have a million babies.
Yes, i know all this.
We have to take care of it.
Okay, boss.
What is that supposed to mean? Nothing.
It's just Since you've started working, you're just less fun.
Seriously? Well, you know what? Mice aren't fun.
Look, it's gone.
There's nothing we can do about it tonight.
Now would you like to have some dinner? Sure you don't wanna go out? Ole? Oh, this is so exciting! You know, i buy and i sell clothes online, but i never get to see them on display.
I gotta say, us washington men know how to wear those clothes.
Oh! I've gotta show you some pictures of buzz.
He looked just like you.
Hold on.
You got yourself a good woman.
Hey, your mother was a good woman, too.
You don't have to say that.
No, no, i do.
It was a nasty divorce, george.
Nell didn't want me seeing you.
I could've tried harder.
Okay, well Thank you.
Ah.
George, you're a good man.
Who knows? Maybe if i'd have stayed around while you were growing up, You would've turned out different.
Different? You know, maybe if you'd had a man around, a father to to teach you things, Maybe you'd have had, you know, a different lifestyle.
Uh, george, uh, I'm just trying to say a good thing here.
But you're saying an ignorant thing.
I did not decide to be gay because i didn't have a father.
You know the one good thing about not having you around? I never had to worry about disappointing my dad.
Where'd he go? Okay, elmo, here's that '80s set you requested.
Hey, bro.
Come down here to spin some tunes with me? Actually, i'm cutting my trip short.
I just think that Buzz and i are better off as strangers.
Look, our dad--He's an old-Fashioned kind of guy.
I mean, he's not "street" like you and me, you know? He'll come around.
It took a while for him and me to bond.
It's too late for us.
So coming here was a total bust? No.
I wanted to see myself in my father's face, you know? Answer some questions.
But he's not gonna give me the peace that i'm looking for.
This stuff you're talking about-- How it sucks not to know family and spend your whole life having all these questions-- Now that's just gonna happen to us.
I'll give you two more days, But first we've gotta change this music.
* that i love you forever * * and i'm gonna keep on loving you * * 'cause it's the only thing i wanna do * * i just wanna keep on loving you * * ooh, ooh * I can't work.
Oh, good, me neither.
What's your excuse? I don't know if this is gonna work.
You knew that.
This place is like bedrock with less wi-Fi.
Oh, not the work thing.
The sam thing.
There's a mouse in the house.
Is that code? No, we're standing there, and this rodent runs over my feet, and i freak out and Sam's all plow guy and mellow.
What's the point of having a mountain man if he won't kill? Everyone is different on vacation.
I know that, but our entire relationship has been vacation.
Now i'm back in business mode, and i don't think You don't think real world jane is compatible with vacation jane? Maybe real world jane isn't compatible with real world plow guy.
Hmm.
He's so breezy.
I'm more of a gale force.
I thought you guys balanced each other out.
I don't know anymore.
The boat is rocking.
So he's gonna stay for a couple more days? That's great! We need to celebrate in style.
Well, i'm not sure what kind of party train you think we're driving here.
Resources are kind of limited, you know? Patrick, i am from new york city.
I know how to entertain a gay man on a budget.
They're charmed by my vintage but eclectic style.
We gotta crank things up a notch, annie.
We need to find george a rock-Solid reason to stay.
Sharon, look, you know i love the tundra, but i can't just eat elk.
For six months, i can't-- My cholesterol.
I mean, what's a man gotta do to get some berries around here? Black, blue, logan, huckle-- Anything.
Antioxidants--I need them.
Well, here we are.
Pretty cool, huh? And on tuesdays i deejay here.
Yeah! That must be quite the party.
There he is! Who? You didn't.
We did.
How far did you have to go to find the other gay guy in alaska? That's the thing.
He's just one town over.
George, terri.
Terri, george.
Nice to meet you.
Patrick bachelor, you should be ashamed of yourself.
You did not tell me this was a setup.
I asked you if you wanted a fun and adventurous night on the town.
Screams romance to me.
Do you know how offensive this is? You think just because we're both gay, we have something in common? He might not like the opera.
He might be a scorpio.
But i'm not.
And i love opera.
But aside from that Well, i didn't mean to offend anyone.
I just thought i was doing something nice.
"Nice" is telling a guy he's going on a date so he has time to do bicep curls.
That's nice.
Well, we might as well bowl.
How is playing cupid offensive? It's not.
Come on.
The night is young.
Hello? Is anybody here? Hey.
Don't you mean to say, "wow, cash, does this mean the plumbing works"? Oh, it does? Don't try to distract me.
What are you doing here? Look-- I'm trying not to.
Listen, i felt bad you weren't getting any work done on your house, So i did a little work, got a little dirty, I got in the tub.
And that never even occurred to you that that might be just a little bit, um, i don't know, illegal? It's the dead of winter out there.
A roof's a roof, plus you're not living here yet, right? No, but i had at least hoped that i would take a bath here before some stranger did.
I'm not a stranger.
We've had two conversations.
Three, if you count the last two minutes.
That's enough to marry people off in some countries.
Oh, thanks for the offer, but no.
How's this for an offer? I'll finish the work on your place, and you let me live here till it's done.
Oh, you wanna be my squatter? I don't like labels.
Well, i don't like bargaining with some naked, homeless lunatic.
Yeah, but you're thinking about it.
You need to get out of the tub.
Okay.
Wait! I didn't mean right this second! Well, i'm exhausted.
Time to hit the hay.
Right.
It's early, though.
You two enjoy.
Huh? See ya.
Subtle.
If patrick was an event, he'd be the running of the bulls.
I did have a good night.
You know, the amazing thing about elmo is you really can see every star known to man.
I always did admire orion's accessories.
Well Right.
Okay, so i'll see you around town? I guess so.
* I broke the heart of someone pure * * apologies fall short of cure * * i think i found the riddle here * * a broken heart has mending * Look i'm sorry I called you bossy the other day.
No, you're right.
I am bossy.
Oh, boy.
What? You're playing footsie with me.
No, i'm not.
You're not? Aah! Oh, my god! I was just sexually assaulted by a mouse.
Jane, calm down.
Sam, i will not calm down.
You're like a little kid, living on a leaky houseboat with stuart little.
Don't you ever feel bad living this way? I didn't till just now.
You know what? I'm I'm gonna just go to bed.
You owe me $4.
For what? For what? For the money i spent on two slices of pizza and 800 empty calories.
That date was a sham.
What are you talking about? I thought you and george had a great time.
You set my son up with this man? Hey, watch it, machismo.
It just so happens I am a great catch, But apparently not george's type.
Are you sure about that? 'Cause i thought last night was a love connection.
He gave me the shoulder squeeze.
Huh? That's gay for "i don't think so.
" You know what i think? I think he's a big, fat loser.
Hey, now you wait just one minute.
That's my son you're talking about.
George is a good man.
How would you know? You met him five minutes ago.
No, you can tell a man's character right away, and he's got a good heart.
And the work he does with those kids-- What is he, a party clown? No, he runs those camps-- You know, those fatty camps.
I'll tell you one thing.
He's a much better man than i ever was, that's for sure.
Fat camps? Yeah.
He was chubby as a kid, but he overcame it.
He overcame a lot of things.
He's got strong character-- My boy.
Yeah.
He's a big fat winner.
Excuse me.
Hmm.
He's a funny little man.
What did you wanna show me? I caught the mouse.
For me? Is it dead? No, he's right here.
Ohh! Don't show me.
Look, normally i'd let the little guy leave on his own, But you got so upset, i figured i could at least move him along.
I want this to work.
Me, too.
Thank you, sam.
Can you please put it down, though? This way, it's humane.
No one gets hurt-- Not the mouse and not us.
Oh, my god.
Hey.
Why didn't you tell me? Tell you what? Why didn't you tell me you ran a camp for fatties? I don't like to brag.
Who told you? Your father.
My father doesn't know me from adam.
He can't stand the fact that i'd go for adam.
Yeah, well, your father just went misty for you at the chieftain-- Couldn't have been prouder than if he'd cut the cord himself.
Seriously? Yeah.
Listen, mister, what you do for a living I was a childhood fatty, And just knowing you're out there changing lives, Well, it makes my knees buckle.
I was a childhood fatty, too.
Is that why you didn't touch me the other night? It takes two to tango.
Well, like i said, i didn't do my bicep curls and i was feeling flabby.
And i've been indulging myself on vacation--Love handles.
Back fat.
I don't think so.
Come here.
You're feeling it right now, aren't you? There is such a thing as good fat- -Almonds, avocados And hello! That is all muscle.
Guilty! * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * * do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do * Marin, hi.

Oh, my god.
You were right.
It's huge.
Put your name on the card.
Unh-Unh, honey.
Oh, come on.
It could be from both of us.
I'm staying out of this.
I've done enough damage for one day.
Why? What happened? A hawk ate the mouse.
Are we still talking in code? I thought i'd be thrilled, but i feel awful.
I made sam get rid of it, and it got eaten alive.
Oh, my.
Our whole relationship is getting eaten alive.
You know what might make you feel better? Biting the head off a baby.
Thanks.
You always know just what i need.
I need a stiff drink.
You? Mm.
Oh, yeah.
Please tell me this is spiked.
I'll make it a double.
All right.
So this is fun, huh? Yeah.
Last baby shower i went to was matty's.
Oh, how is he? He's good.
He's back from his grandmother's, finally.
Hey, that's great.
Yeah.
So this must be, um, weird for you, huh? Is it written all over my face? No.
It's written all over that huge thing you wheeled in here.
Oh! I know.
* don't you think that you're in it somehow? * * some kind of sign from above? * Oh, jerome, it's adorable.
It's not for the baby.
It's for you, after the baby.
And, well, for me when i come and visit the baby.
Thanks, jerome.
That's--That's sweet.
Okay, open the big one.
You ready? Okay.
Oh, well, i hope you like it.
Um i wanted you guys to have the best.
It's the one gwyneth paltrow uses.
Ooh.
Oh, marin, it's beautiful.
It's, uh Well, it's--It's great.
It looks expensive.
What'd that set you back? $879! What? I saw it online.
You can take it back.
No, no.
No, seriously, it's no problem.
Take it back.
You can take it back and get cash or i'll take it back.
You shouldn't have to.
I'll take it back and give you the cash.
Is that weird to give you cash? Marin, pleas it's sweet.
No, and huge.
Sorry.
At least let me get it out of the way.
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
You don't have to.
It's way too big.
I don't know why they make something so big for such a little baby.
Don't do that.
You're pregnant.
Hold on, coach.
All right.
Okay.
All clear! So i heard what you said to terri.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Look, now is not the moment when i'm gonna hug you and call you "dad," but i wanted to meet you.
Now i have.
Yeah, but when do we get to know ea other, george, huh? I know it's my fault that we don't, but we could try.
I can't stay here.
I got my work to get back to, my life.
Yeah.
Well, how about a letter now and then, huh? Letters take time.
Maybe that's all we need, son.
I might be able to do that.
Baby shower, huh? That's one thing you'll never have to deal with.
Buzz, gay men can still have children.
I knew that.
I knew that.
I got some books i can send you.
Okay.
Hey, marin.
Um your gift Oh, i know.
It was a little crazy.
No, you know, it was really nice.
I just don't want you to feel like you have to do that.
I know this is a strange situation.
Look around.
We're past all that, right? I'm not past it.
Uh I got you that present so you would like me.
I thought if i got you some huge gift, things might not be so strange between us.
But don't you think things will always be strange between us? Yes.
I mean, i was trying to pretend like everything was fine, too.
I didn't think you'd even wanna come here today.
I gave you that invitation because i thought i had to.
You know, i really do think in another universe we would've been friends.
Yeah.
So maybe we don't have to try so hard to be in this one.
You're right.
Well, i'm glad we talked.
'Cause honestly, i think you're great, and i wish you the best, and i'm doing it again.
Ugh.
Can i leave? Yeah.
You don't need my permission.
I am the hawk.
What? You're just trying to live your life, and i'm the hawk, Swooping in, all type "a," criticizing you, ruining your whole type "b," "C," "d"-- Whatever it is--Vibe.
I'm i'm not sure i follow.
Maybe we're just too different.
I thought that's what made us work.
Maybe it did when i was on vacation.
But i'm different in the real world, And you're not, are you? I am who i am, jane.
Right.
You're vacation sam all the time, And i don't want you to feel bad about being that way, Bui can't feel bad about who i am, either.
I was hoping things would be different.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Maybe this isn't a relationship, sam.
Maybe this was a vacationship.
Maybe.
Hello? Hello? Hello? Oh! Sorry.
Didn't know where to knock.
Oh.
To what do i owe this visit? Well, i want to take you up on your offer to work on my house.
Oh, really? Yeah, but don't get too excited.
I'm gonna kick you out as soon as i move in.
As long as there's work to be done, you can stay there.
Deal? Deal.
Oh, and just so you know, the new me doesn't care if we're friends Right.
Right.
As children, we're taught to play nice, Share your toys, eat your vegetables, And if you don't have anything nice to say, Don't say it at all.
* takin' all that has come and gone * * you know we're wrong * But every time we bite our tongues, We know each other a little less.
* watching everyone hum along * * we're still untold * * fall in love, let it go * To spare someone's feelings, we hide our own.
For the record, jane, I was falling in love with you.
Stop it, sam.
You're only making this harder.
* all i wanna do is be true to my ways * And when you hide what you feel, you end up with regrets.
I love you, too.
* all i wanna do is be true to my ways * Being honest might not make you the most popular girl in the school yard, But it will earn you respect.
* all this pain i've caused you, i know it by name * * taking this ticket and walking away * * all the pain i've caused you, i know it by name * * taking this ticket and walking away * * dee-Dee-Dee-Dee * * walking away * * dee-Dee-Dee * And when nice girls learn to respect themselves, they'll always finish first.
