Men in Trees s02e10 Episode Script

Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
I have degenerative kidney disease.
I was wondering if you would like to stay with me.
Beautiful.
I think maybe we should try just being friends.
Well, how about moving in here? Seriously? I got this job.
I just need some time and space.
Nine months at sea is gonna give us a lot of that.
There is a part of me that doesn't want you to go.
How's it looking out there? Why hasn't jack called me? Celia: Jack's ship went down in the Bering sea.
They rescued survivors.
Jack wasn't among them.
* The world carries on without you * * but nothing remains the same * Okay, hank from ketchikan, you're up.
You know, it's only been a few days since the ship went down.
Those other survivors said they saw jack getting into the lifeboat.
Bet they'll be finding him any day now.
The bering sea is no match for an elmo boy I'll tell you that.
Well, thanks for calling in, hank.
A lot of people seem to share your thoughts.
Guess the only thing we can do right now is hope for the best and keep on smiling.
Geez, it looks like a war zone in here.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to make so much noise.
Did I wake you? It's not the noise that woke me as much as the smell.
What are you making? Oh, I'm calling it "broccoli casherole.
" It's for you.
You really didn't have to do that.
No, I wanted to.
I found the recipe on the internet last night.
Did you know that broccoli is a powerhouse nutrient for ailing kidneys? It has tons of vitamin "K.
" Yeah, looks like it has tons of everything.
How many people you cooking for anyway? Oh, I'm making extra.
I'm gonna put one of these in jack's freezer when I go over to clean today.
I want to make sure everything's perfect when he gets home.
Uh, could you hand me the recipe on the table? What's this? Oh, um, I was doing some research on the internet last night and made a list of questions we might want to ask the doctor.
"We"? Marin, I agreed to let you drive me to the hospital, not drive me crazy.
No, I know.
I promised not to meddle anymore, but when you get your test results back tomorrow, I want to know exactly what it all means.
I can't have any more I just want to know all the facts so we can keep you healthy, okay? Okay.
Thanks.
Sara, I-I didn't think y-you'd be up yet.
We, uh, we're just having a little prayer circle for jack.
Oh, okay.
I'll just get out of your way.
Let's pray.
* Smile though your heart is aching * * smile even though it's breaking * * when there are clouds in the sky, * * you'll get by if you smile through your fear and sorrow * * smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through * * if you just smile * * Smile though your heart is aching * * smile even though it's breaking * * when there are clouds in the sky, * * you'll get by if you smile through your fear and sorrow * * smile and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through * * if you just smile * "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
" Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
And thou art annoying me.
Uh, essentially, this is, uh, this psalm's a message of hope.
Even when things seem their bleakest, you have someone to lean on -- god.
I don't want to be the antichrist or anything, but your boyfriend's bible study group is kind of bad for business.
I mean, tom hasn't left an unfinished glass of beer on the table since -- well, ever.
[ Chuckles .]
Sorry.
Eric's trying to find a temporary solution until he finds a new church.
He was doing stuff at the house, but I kind of got caught with my pants down this morning.
Well, no offense, but I think we're gonna need a separation of church and bar.
People come here to escape, not hear sermons.
Whatever happens happens.
I'm through negotiating.
The ball's in their court.
And you wonder why your team is on a losing streak.
Fill her up.
Oh, finally! Yes, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't use my emt pager to ask where your lunch is, jerome.
This number is for emergencies only.
Yeah, well, it was an emergency.
I happen to be hypoglycemic.
Marin: Hey, theresa.
Do you have an egg I can borrow? I am one short, and the general store is all out until their next shipment.
Yeah, I'll check.
* I said, la la la la, * it's okay, guys.
You don't have to stop talking because I've entered the room.
Believe me, you weren't missing anything.
How you holding up? I'm fine.
I happen to believe in the power of positive thinking.
Me, too at least where jack is concerned.
I de a pact with myself, annie.
I am going to enjoy every moment I have with jack when he comes back.
I'm not letting him out of my sight.
I don't blame you.
I look forward to seeing the kid myself.
When I think of all the time I wasted, it's just one of my regrets.
Along with not meeting him sooner and letting him go to the Bering sea in the first place.
Oh, no, you can't regret that.
Jack was doing something he loved.
Oh, I-I mean, is doing something he loves.
Tracking whales is his dream job.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, everyone should be so lucky -- to find that one thing that you're passionate about and actually do it.
If I had to do it over again, I'd be a cheerleader.
Really? Yeah, really? In china, I saw the dallas cowboy cheerleaders on "the love boat" once, and I never forgot them.
They were a perfect blend of everything mai.
High spirit meets high fashion.
I don't know why I never pursued it.
It's the one regret in my life.
The one regret in my life is never having seen you in a cheerleading outfit.
* La la la la, that's my remedy * Chieftain.
Well, since we're on the subject, I will admit that I'm beginning to regret not doing a harder sell on that croatian forward.
Is that satisfied? I will be when you get him.
I regret having given Jerome my, uh, pager number.
Does that count? How about it, jerome? Any regrets? Nope.
I happen not to believe in that particular sentiment.
Oh, good.
You got one.
I was beginn-- hey, what happened? Is everything okay? That was jack's brother on the phone.
The coast guard found the body of one of the other missing crew members and part of a life raft.
And they don't think there are any more survivors.
They're officially calling off the search.
* La la la la, that's my remedy I said, * * la la la la, that's my remedy * W-what does that mean, "they're calling off the search"? D-does that mean they're not gonna even look for jack? Th-they're just giving up? Well, I guess conditions being what they are out on the bering, they must not expect to f-find anything worth finding.
Excuse me.
I'm so sorry Is there anything I can do? I-I just need to be alone right now.
Announcer: All these christmas classics available now for the first time on dvd.
Hey! Hi.
You okay? Not really.
I miss jack.
Yeah, I-I heard about that.
It sucks.
Yeah.
What are you watching? "It's a wonderful life.
" You know, it always cheers me up.
I-I mean, you used to know.
I wish I could remember jack.
He sounded like a great guy.
He was a great guy.
This is cute.
Cat-tissue! Bless you.
Oh, no , I was just making a -- never mind.
It was -- it was dumb.
O-oh.
You mind if I watch with you? Not at all.
And days of auld lang syne we'll drink a cup of kindness yet for auld lang syne you okay there? Oh, yeah, just a little crick.
If you want to stay in town, there's the elmo museum.
But it's by appointment only, so you'll need to let me know if you want to go so I can open it up for you.
You know what? I think we'll just go to the gold mine.
Oh, okay, I'll go ahead and book three tickets for the afternoon tour.
Oh, we'll only need two.
Tricia won't be joining us.
Apparently, our daughter's too cool to hang out with her parents.
[ Chuckling .]
Oh, okay.
These are complimentary, right? Uh-huh.
Thank you.
Have a good time.
Hey, isn't it my day to man the front desk? You should have made me get up when you got up.
That's okay.
I didn't mind.
You looked so peaceful.
Man, I can't believe we fell asleep on the couch.
Woke up spread all over the place.
Hope you had enough room.
Oh, yeah.
I had plenty.
That movie was really good last night.
I'm glad you liked it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it got me thinking.
You know, with jackgone and me getting struck by lightning and everything I mean, sometimes you need to and take stock of what you got, you know? Yeah, I do know.
I mean, I'm just like george bailey.
I've been given a second chance at life, and I don't want to live with the regret of not doing things I was meant to do just 'cause I'm too scared or I don't remember how.
Y-you shouldn't be scared.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
Sometimes, you just have to try something.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It can wait.
No, I-it can't wait.
That's the message of the movie.
Live life.
If anything, you should do it in honor of jack.
You're right, annie.
Thanks.
I'm gonna ask that girl out.
Oh, cash, please.
I'm not hungry.
You have to eat something.
No, really, I-I don't -- come on.
Just have a couple of bites.
Please? Are you going somewhere? Your doctor's appointment.
What time is it? It's okay.
Buzz is taking me.
But it's no big deal.
Maybe I should stay here with you.
Cash, it is a big deal.
I'm not gonna be the cause of you missing your appointment.
It's too important.
I will be fine here without you really.
Please, go.
Fine, but I'll be back as soon as I can.
I'm really glad you're here.
It's nice to have someone to lean on.
I'll be here as long as you need me.
I'll be here for you, too.
Jerome? Jerome! I-I didn't mean to snoop or anything.
I just heard the music.
Is this you playing? It is.
I was thinking about jack.
I guess I ended up taking a trip down memory lane.
I've never even heard you play the piano.
And all these awards and things.
You're so accomplished.
Was.
Not so much anymore.
Unless, of course, you count my whittling.
You were just a little boy in some of these photos.
You must have started playing very young.
Started when I was 4.
Guess I had what you call a natural talent for it.
Who's this you're standing with? Looks important.
Oh, that's the, uh king of morocco -- mohammed something or other.
All I remember is he had breath that could peel paint.
Jerome, this is amazing! How come I've never heard you play? 'Cause I don't anymore.
Haven't in many a year.
But why? Lost my joy for it, I guess.
Something you love starts making you miserable, it's best to end it.
There was a time I heard a song in every rustling leaf.
Do you ever miss it? The past is the past.
I don't dwell on it.
It just keeps you from being open to the future.
Like meeting your mother.
Love has a funny way of coming around again.
It's kind of like a sonata in that way.
What do you mean? Oh, well, every sonata has three movements.
In the first one, the melody is new, often lively.
But the second part, the part you're hearing right now, things can get a little dark and murky, and you can't always hear the theme.
But the third part always comes back to the beginning.
Things have a way of working themselves out.
I hope you're right because I got to tell you, this murky middle part is a bitch.
Dr.
Thompson: Sit up for me, please.
So, I was going over your medical charts earlier.
I understand you missed some appointments recently? Yeah, I d a few financial things to work out.
I see.
It also says here you've had this condition for almost five years.
Yeah, but I never felt -- did no one recommend that you go on dialysis in all that time? They did, but I figured those pills you guys gave me were working.
Well, we got the results back from your recent blood and urine tests.
I'm sorry to say your gfr does not look good, and we found creatinine levels well above normal.
What does that mean? It means your kidneys are failing.
You should go on dialysis immediately.
I'm also recommending you for the donor list.
Okay.
Are we talking a kidney donor list as in I'm gonna need an operation? You will, yes.
Wow.
Look, I realize this is a lot to process, mr.
Morrissey.
I'd be lying if I didn't tell you, you have a rough road ahead.
Do you have someon to help you through this? Yeah.
I think I do.
What are you doing all this for? I said I'd help.
It's okay.
I needed the distraction.
I want to go by marin's later and see how she's doing.
Would you mind getting matty's dinner? Mom? Matty, I hope I didn't hear you just playing basketball in the house.
Take it outside, please.
I can'T.
Some guy is asleep on our porch.
What? Uh, excuse me.
Can I help you? Hey, you're the t-shirt lady! I didn't recognize you with your pants on.
Ron, what are you doing here? Oh, uh ron and his wife are having some kind of marital crisis.
He's asked if I can counsel him.
I thought you told people you weren't doing church stuff in the house anymore.
I did.
Apparently, that's why he was out on the porch.
Seriously, this can't keep happening.
Well, what do you want me to do, sara, stop being a pastor? What? I don't have a 9-to-5 job.
This is my life.
People need to reach me sometimes.
And right now, I don'have anywhere to go.
You don't want me here.
Theresa doesn't want me at the bar.
I'm gonna running out of options here.
Why do I suddenly feel like this is all my fault? It -- it's not your fault.
I just need a little support right now.
Are you kidding me? Whoa, whoa.
Zipper, zipper! Check yourself before you regret yourself.
Excuse me? First rule of thumbs is never speak from a place of anger.
You should probably go cool off.
* You kissed me slow * * it happened way too fast * * I told myself there's no way it would last * * is this how love's supposed to feel? * * Whoa-oa-oa whoa-oa-oa whoa-oa-oa * jack! Oh, my god, jack! Not exactly the welcome home I was expecting, but I'll take what I can get.
* Is this how love's supposed to feel? * Somehow this russianfreighter saw our signal, picked us up.
Unbelievable.
No one spoke a word of english.
And then we realized they had a broken transmitter.
I swear, this boat was practically a tin can.
Anyway, eventually, we made it to port, and then I hooked up with a service plane that brought me here.
And all this time you had no idea anyone else had been rescued? No.
We, uh we got separated almost immediately.
It was just dumb luck that julia and gary's raft ended up near mine.
I'm so sorry you lost your friend.
Yeah.
* Say you'll wait * What? It's nothing.
Just glad to be home.
* Back to you * what should we do now? Well, considering that I've been on a research boat, a raft, and a crappy russian freighter for the last few weeks, the first thing I want to do is go home and take a long, hot shower.
Your home? Oh, uh, you might not want to do that.
Why? Well, because, um because we should go to the chieftain first and let everyone know you're back.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I guess we should.
Yes, I guess we should.
So, this is it.
Hope you're hungry.
Not really.
Oh, well, we don't have to eat if you don't want.
Uhwe could just hang.
Okay.
What's that? That's the alaska state flower.
It's a forget-me-not.
Oh.
Whoa! What? I just had the weirdest feeling -- like everything that just happened already happened before kind of.
Oh.
I'm kind of tired of being outside.
Is there any place we could get a mocha frapp around here? Oh, just shows to go you, you can't keep a good man down.
At least we can get one down a good man if we ever get our shots! Yeah, hold your horses, woman.
I've only got two hands.
Uh, no, mai.
I think I'm doing good now.
Hey, jack, don't be a jackass.
You just defied death.
Now drink up! Cheers! Uh, someone hasn stopped grinning since she walked in the bar.
I know.
I still can't believe he's here.
It's so surreal.
Yesterday feels like a bad dream.
Then I think, "what if this is the dream and then I wake up and he's not here?" I assure you, this isn't a dream, but if you want, I can pinch you really hard to prove it.
No, thanks.
Mom, mom! Did you see that? I just got two balls in! That's great! Yay, matty! Hey, what's eric up to tonight? Oh, he's counseling some drunk guy I found hanging around outside my living-room window.
Okay.
You'll have to explain that one a bit.
Well, this guy was having a fight with his wife.
It's a long story, but the point is, it somehow led to me and eric having a fight.
I guess the honeymoon period is officially over.
What happened? Honestly, I don't know.
It started out dumb, and then it kind of snowballed.
We're both cooling our heels.
Well, cool them fast.
Take it from me -- you don't know how long you've got.
Oh, boss! Did I tell you how happy I am that you're back? Uh, yeah, a few times.
Oh, thanks again.
Just so you know, you don't have to worry about anything at the office.
I kept everything shipshape for you.
Oh, sorry.
I probably shouldn't have said -- it's okay, annie.
No, no, no, it's okay, annie.
Don't worry about it.
Oh, gosh.
It's just so great that you and marin can finally be together now.
I always used to say you guys were the perfect couple, just like us.
Oh, boss! I'm just so glad you're back and you remember me! Cash, hey.
How did your appointment go? Did you get the tests results back? Yeah.
What did the doctor say? Um, actually, the doc said everything looked great.
Tests all came back normal.
[ Chuckling .]
Normal? Really? Told you it wasn't a big deal.
Well, I'm really happy for U.
I'm happy for you, too.
Looks like you got your man back.
Mmm.
Yes, I do.
Think I'm gonna head home.
You know how much I hatepeople.
Hey, I can give you a ride.
I have my car.
With the way you drive, I'm better off walking.
Ha ha.
And a cherry soda for young mr.
Jackson.
Thank you, my good man.
Shoot.
What's wrong? I just got paged for a ride-along.
Matty, gather up your stuff.
Do I have to? We're right in the middle of a pool game.
Yes, I got to get you home to eric.
So I can go help out in the ambulance.
I can watch him if you want.
Yes! Please! Please! Please! Please, please! Come on.
Really? Sure.
I can drop him by the house after we finish our game.
Um, okay.
Great.
Yes! Thanks.
Okay, be good.
Okay, you're up.
Hey, buzz, let's hit the road.
I still have to somersize my thighs before bed.
What? I never get to have any fun.
Wait.
Before you guys go, I have something for you.
Regret no more.
I realize that the huskies are not exactly the dallas cowboys, but we would be honored if you would come down and lend your moral support.
Wait.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah! Go, huskies! "H!" Let's get out of here now.
* It's a clear night for love * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * * It's a clear night for love * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * * It's a clear night for love * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * * It's a clear night for love * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * * It's a clear night for a kiss * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * * It's a clear night for a kiss * * it's a clear night * * a clear night * And then, put your finger there, and that's a "g" chord.
Can I try? Sure, if you wipe your hands first.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
Very good.
It hurts my fingers a little.
Yeah, well, it'll do that until you get used to it.
You finished with these fries? We should probably get going soon.
What was it like being in a band? Oh, it was fun.
Got to see all kinds of neat places.
How come you don't do it anymore? 'Cause I like being near my family.
But you don't have a family.
You don't have any kids.
Well, I have ben.
He's like a kid.
A really old kid.
Okay.
Yeah, well, okay.
What's so funny? [ Laughing .]
I just found the radio knob in my bra.
Are you picking up any good stations in there? I cannot believe we just had sex on the side of a road.
I know.
That wasawesome.
Ah, I've waited a long time for that.
Almost as long as I've been waiting for a nice, hot shower.
Let's go back to my place and take one together.
Your place? Maybe we should go back to mine.
I forgot to dust last time I was at your place.
It might be a little bit messy.
I don't care.
I want to sleep in my own bed tonight.
Oh.
Besides, you already have a house guest.
Oh.
Right, cash -- I forgot about him.
Listen, jack, there's something I need to confess.
I kind of -- slept with cash.
What? No.
I did not sleep with cash.
And frankly, I resent the implication.
What kind of girl you take me for, anyway? I'm just saying, you know, it's pretty obvious that cash has a thing for you, and, as I recall, I did see you kiss him, so -- well, as I recall, when I kissed him, you were engaged to lynn, or did you forget that minor detail? Okay, I get it.
I'm the ass that screwed everything up.
How many times do I have to say it? This is so stupid.
Why are we even talking about this? You almost died.
Yeah, you're right.
* Taste it, taste it, love so sweet * I just get jealous when I think about the woman i love living with some other guy.
I'm sorry.
Me too.
Wait.
Did you just say you love me? Yeah, I did.
I love you, too.
Good.
You might want to keep that in mind when we get back to your place.
* We are all we are, we are * how the hell did this happen? Bears? Hey, there! Hi.
Hey.
How was your date with tricia? It was kind of lame.
Yeah, we didn't really have that "thing," you know? Yeah, y-yeah.
Plus, she kept going on and on about some girl named paris hilldale or something.
I was like, "why are we even talking about this?" Pizza looks weird.
Mmm, no, it doesn't have -- cheese.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
You don't like cheese, do you? Yes! That's right! Well, I'm beat.
I'm -- I'm gonna head up.
Good night.
Good night! I didn't even realize what I was doing at the time.
I promise I'll clean everything up pay for the window and the wall and the lamp.
Oh, please say something.
Are you mad? "Mad"? No, I'm not mad.
I'm touched.
When I thought you were dead, it was the worst night of my life.
I kept thinking I wish I could tell you how much I regretted ever letting you go.
Well, I hope you mean that, coach.
You're stuck with me now.
Hey.
Hey.
You're still up.
Yeah, I just wanted to apologize for earlier.
I know that this is more than you bargained for.
It's okay.
We'll make it work.
Come on.
I want to show you and matty something.
* Smile though your heart is aching * * smile even though it's breaking * * when there are clouds in the sky, * * you'll get by if you smile * marin: Regret is a funny thing.
You try your best in life to avoid it.
* You'll see the sun come shining through * but sometimes, it's the hard things in life that teach us the most That's all right, that's okay! We're gonna beat 'em anyway! Marin: Which makes you wonder.
If given the chance, how many of us would do things differently? Ron wanted to thank me for counseling him, so he donated the land.
This is where I'm gonna build my church.
Marin: For some, regret is the very thing that helps us push past our fear and move into the future.
Hey.
What's happening? Let's have a baby.
For others, it's the thing that allows us to re-explore our past.
At its best, regret can be the catalyst for a new beginning let's move in together.
* You'll find that life is still worthwhile * * if you just smile * Where anything and everything is still possible.
* Smile come on and smile *
