Men in Trees s02e14 Episode Script
Get a Life
Previously on "Men in Trees" Morgan Fairchild visited Elmo? Not yet.
Just putting it out there in the universe.
This is where I'm gonna build my church.
We're waiting for Ben to get here with his new star hockey player.
Meet Ivan! Are you a hockey fan? I could be.
We got you on the kidney-donor list.
When someone offers you a kidney, you take it.
* You say that I'm the one for you * * and I do believe it's true * Do you hear that? Oh, the sound of my triple-word victory? Yes-- loud and clear.
No, that ringing sound.
* Wish I may,I wish I might * Hello? I'm sorry,what? Oh, well, that is a very fascinating and bizarre offer, but, um, I-I don't think so.
Thank you, but, no.
No, really.
No amount of money.
Truly.
Okay, bye-bye.
What was that? Some guy in New York wants to buy my cellphone number.
What? It's a really great number- lots of 1's, easy to remember, which is why I'm keeping it.
How much did he offer you? $1,000.
And you said no? You don't even use that phone.
I just did.
Well, you didn't recognize the ring.
It's my professional number.
I've had it for years.
I'm not giving it up.
$1,000? We could build a new deck for that.
Winter is coming.
We'll be inside.
It's a 917 number.
Do you have any idea how hard those are to come by? Not really, no.
You're not a New Yorker.
You wouldn't understand.
Trust me.
The number's priceless.
Yeah, you've been living here over a year.
Just how long you gonna call yourself a New Yorker? Being a New Yorker's a state of mind and an area code.
Your turn.
Hey! Look who's here.
We didn't think we'd be seeing you guys till the next thaw.
I guess we've been laying low.
Well, given recent events, I think we've earned a few days of sloth, gluttony, lust, and other sins.
Well, whatever you're doing, your skin looks fabulous.
That's because she goes to bed at 9:30 every night.
I do not! I go to bed to read at 9:30.
Hey, princess.
Hey, Cash, what are you doing here? Got a couple of days before our surgery.
Thought I'd get some food that's not jell-O.
I'm so happy you're here.
I was hoping we could have a little confab before we go under the knife.
Okay.
I just feel like if I'm gonna give a part of myself away, I just want to know where it's going,you know? Pretty sure it's going right here.
No, I mean, I want to get to know you.
We should have coffee and talk.
I don't like coffee.
Well, that's good to know.
Now we're getting somewhere.
I'll get us a couple of cranberry juices and sodas.
Cranberries-- good for the kidneys.
Flush it right out.
It's sweet.
He wants to bond.
Yeah, it's really not my thing.
Would you come on? He just wants to spend some time with you, do something with him that's you, only nice.
Yeah take him to a Huskies game.
Oh, yeah! Great idea.
We've got season tickets.
Best 15 bucks I ever spent.
Since when did you become a hockey fan? Since Broadway moved 3,000 miles away.
Caffeine-free cranberry.
Drink it.
Hey, uh, I'm going camping later.
You want to come? You're about to have surgery.
You think you should be sleeping in the woods? Apparently you don't.
Listen, I'm going stir-crazy.
Need to get some fresh air before I'm laid up again.
Sounds perfect.
Well, it's no Huskies game.
Yeah, go, Huskies! Whoo-whoo! Yeah! Whoo! Who are the Huskies? Let's go! Let's go! That kid can move! Oh, yeah.
He wasn't even 21 yet.
You got your stats down, huh? Part of being a good manager.
That and being a walking first-aid kit.
These guys from Sitka aren't gonna know what hit 'em.
No, sir.
Hey, look, I got to call Larry on this first game.
You want in? I thought Mai made you break up with your bookie.
I don't have to say anything to Mai until I buy her that big, shiny new car.
Thanks,honey.
I'm heading back to the church.
I shouldn't be too late.
I thought you abandoned the church.
He's building a new one.
Doesn't have any walls yet.
Yeah, you should come check it out, Jerome.
What's god done for me lately, huh? I stand corrected.
We're having a "we just put on the roof" party this sunday.
My band's gonna play.
You're in a band? You never told me that.
Yeah! That's 'cause she's embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed.
I just don't want to cramp Eric's style.
And she's afraid that we really suck.
Ah.
Bye,honey.
I dated a performance artist once.
He did a one-man show called "Marindipity.
" Not good.
Why? What does it matter if Eric's not good at something? It's just that I only know good things about Eric now.
If his band is bad, then all that is ruined.
I like thinking I have the perfect boyfriend.
Oh, you'll just support the guy.
Yeah, he's right.
Performance artist excluded, sometimes that little extra step can go a long way in your relationship.
Yeah, kind of like giving up your cellphone so your boyfriend can build you a deck.
No, no.
Annie, he wants me to give up my 917.
What? Jack, no! A 646, maybe, but a 917? That's vintage.
That's class.
That's New York city.
Hey.
Told you.
The Alaska area code is 907.
It's only one number off.
You could get used to that, right? No, no, no.
There is aig difference between being a 1 and being a 0.
Big difference.
Hey.
Hey.
Help me get some glasses.
She'll be here any minute.
Who? Morgan: Excuse me.
Is Ben Thomasson here? Morgan Fairchild.
Dear god in heaven, you're earning your stripes today.
Everyone, raise your glasses, and let's give a big Elmo welcome to Morgan Fairchild.
Thank you for coming all the way up here to sing the national anthem at our opening game.
May your good will bring us good luck.
To Morgan.
All: To Morgan! Morgan: Thank you.
Excuse me, I think I know that lady.
Excuse me, aren't you Marin Frist, the relationship coach? I am.
Hi.
We met in New York about a year ago at a party.
Yes! At Peggy's benefit at The Met.
You had just gotten engaged.
Except I would have remembered you.
Oh, hi.
I'm Jack.
Hi.
Morgan.
So, I've been going around the country singing anthems, cutting ribbons, just killing time until I find my next project.
I know what I'm doing in this strange bar in the middle of nowhere, but what are you doing here? Not that you aren't reason enough, cowboy.
Well, I came here for a speaking engagement, kind of like you.
And you're still here? So they're not kidding about flights being hard to come by.
Well, I arrived and realized I didn't know what the hell I was talking about, so my life had gotten away from me.
I stayed here to find it.
That's the short version.
What's the long version? Well, it involves a lot of drinks and a close call with hypothermia.
Are you in town for a while? Well, if you're any example, I guess so.
Well, have some dinner with us.
I'd love to catch up.
Well, I don't want to impose.
Don't be silly.
I'll give you my cell.
It's 917 -- or you could just drop by.
There's no need to call.
Here,I'll -- I'll give you directions.
"Just drop by.
" Oh,that is so small-town.
I just love it.
Why'd you bring all this stuff? I got beans and oatmeal.
Did you bring chocolate chips? Because my camp counselor always brought chocolate chips for the pancakes.
No.
I haven't thought about camp in years.
But roughing it like this really takes me back.
Is that right? Oh,my kidney and I have had a rich and wonderful life.
Put it in the chair and let me tell you about it.
My kidney and I -- the places we've been -- the streets of Mumbai, that guy in Aspen.
Ha! Is this gonna take long? I don't know.
I'm freestyling.
My kidney has always had only the best.
We saw George Michael before his arrest.
So,where do you think you'll take my kidney? Not sure.
Hadn't thought about it.
It's never been to Dollywood, if you're looking for suggestions.
Hey,did you make these in camp? Didn't go to camp.
Finally,a personal detail.
So,no camp.
Your mother didn't want to part with you, or maybe it was a money thing? Did your father make you work in the summer, or maybe you were sick as a kid.
I'm going fishing.
Okay.
Well,I'll be here to bond when you get back! Don't catch anything too fishy! Oh,nice wheels.
Yeah,you too.
Marin! Wait! Wait,wait! Wait right there.
Well Jerome? On duty.
Does Morgan know that you are not a real driver? Well,we have an understanding.
I love her,and she lets me drive.
Miss Fairchild.
Thank you,Jerome.
Hello.
Hi.
Where are you going on this adorable bicycle? Oh,I host a local radio show.
People call in and ask me relationship questions.
You're kidding.
Fabulous.
You're really making it work up here.
Well,I'm giving it a go.
Well,you have a great story.
New York society girl moves to alaska to remember what's important.
That does sound good when you put it that way.
Great.
'Cause that's my sales pitch.
I'm sorry? I want to be you.
Oh,Morgan,that is very kind, but your life isn't too shabby.
No,no.
I want to buy your life rights.
I want to play you in a movie! Patrick: Time to get your puck on,people.
Huskies game numero uno coming at you live tomorrow night,Thomasson Center.
Tickets are still available, but I dot know why.
You haven't seen hockey till you've seen Ivan the pancake play.
I never saw you as a hockey guy.
I guess everybody around here wishes he were a hockey player.
I tried on my skates the other day.
And? Not great.
Oh.
Thought maybe I was awesome and I just forgot,but,no.
Ivan,though -- he's the best hockey player I've ever seen! Aw,you got yourself a little man crush.
Come on! I don't have a crush on him.
Just want to be him.
Well,apparently,Morgan Fairchild wants to be me, or at least she wants to play me in a movie.
Seriously? How cool is that? It is,right? It's just,why me? Who would want to come to that movie? I would.
Oh,thanks.
I don't know.
I guess if you strung all the good parts together, it would be a movie -- small movie,something you might see at the angelika.
At least you remember all your parts.
In my movie,I'd leave that lightning bolt on the cutting-room floor.
Good point.
Hey,Elmo.
Patrick and I were just discussing movie magic there's something about sitting down in a dark theater that lets you escape the reality of your own lives and live in the fantasy of someone else's story.
But what if the cameras were turned on you? In the movie of your life,do you like what you see? Hey.
Think venison stew is worthy of someone who wants to buy my life? Yeah.
Ah,that smells amazing.
So,just so we're clear mm-hmm.
You'll sell your life but not your phone number.
Ha ha.
You think Morgan will stay long? Was kind of hoping to have an ear evening with you.
It's what we do every night.
It's not gonna hurt us to mix things up a bit.
Hello! Welcome to our humble abode.
Oh,I love it.
Really? Oh,yes.
It's fantastic.
It's so rustic.
Um,let's see -- basic,bare bones,and a slight draft.
Oh,we're still searching for a decorating scheme.
We are? I have to turn off the stew.
Stew? And you -- now,you look like a man who could wrestle a salmon out of the water.
Well,I just use a fishing rod like everybody else.
Jack,now tell me.
Before you moved in here with Marin, where were you living? By the stream? Or in the woods? In a cave? No,I just was in a house about five minutes from here.
I hope you like venison.
Local specialty.
Marin,I am so impressed.
I got to tell you,most women can't do country chic, and you wear it well.
Oh.
Well,thank you.
Wine? Blueberry zinfandel.
So,a toast.
From New York to nowhere.
What a great story we'll tell.
To the Huskies! Whoo! It's just so embarrassing.
How they're falling all over him.
And they all think he's Russian.
They don't understand the struggle the Croatian people had with Yugoslavia.
Sara: Wow,someone's really done their homework.
I just don't like to see women make fools of themselves because a guy's got a touch of celebrity.
You can relate.
You're dating a rock star.
I'm dating a pastor who plays the guitar.
Speaking of which,I got to go.
I told Eric I'd pick him up from practice.
Go school those girls in Croatian heritage.
They invented the necktie.
Patrick,come here.
What do you need,boss? You must be my wingman.
Yeah,I need you to distract these women for me so I can concentrate on Annie.
Okay,but I don't really know how to play wingman.
Ladies,have you met my good friend Patrick? He's a key player.
Never seen him.
Ah,that is because he is like a stealth bomber on the ice and into your hearts.
Trust me.
Hey.
Hi.
How are you? Sometimes Ivan's talking and I have no idea what he's saying, but I'm still like,"wow! Yes.
" So,who do you like -- blondes or brunettes? oh,god! They're everywhere! Don't worry.
I'm not here to pick you up.
I'm the wingwoman.
Greta.
Oh,I'm Patrick.
I'm the wingman.
Not tonight you're not.
Looks like he's out of commission, which makes you top gun.
So,who do you like,mavErick? Uh hi.
Hey.
Cash.
Cash? What are you doing? You sound like a possum or something.
I can't sleep.
You want to tell stories? No.
You've hardly told me anything about yourself.
Isn't that the point of all this? I'm not a real exciting guy.
Hey,don't say that in front of my kidney.
He's used to life in the fast lane.
Yeah,I got that.
When they cut us open and we're lying there, side by side in the operating room do you think our souls will collide? Did you eat the mushrooms by the river? No,I didn't eat the -- I'm just trying to prepare ourselves and my kidney for the great unknown.
Oh! Here.
I finished your bracelet.
I have one,too.
Now we're like camp buddies.
Camp kidneyhoa! Look.
I owe you for life,I get that, but this other stuff -- camp kidneyhoa and the kind of dates I'm gonna take your kidney on -- I didn't sign up for that,okay? What,a person can't try to form a bond with someone he's donating vital organs to? You just got to chill out.
It's not like we're dating.
No,but I thought we'd be friends.
But friends consider other people's feelings.
I guess you wouldn't know anything about that.
* I can feel this hope like a river to the ocean * * tell me,did you feel this way? * Excuse me.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Uh,we were here first.
Sorry.
I'm just here to pick up my boyfriend.
Yeah? Get in line.
* It only made me want to be with you * * every time I think about you * * several thousand times a day * * I can feel this hope * * like a river to the ocean * * tell me,do you feel this way? * All right.
Thanks for coming.
You came.
Yeah.
You guys are good! Surprised,right? Great,you guys.
Awesome.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Man: Cool.
Thanks for coming,you guys.
Hey,good to see you.
Hey,Eric?Yeah.
Who are all these women? I think we might have picked up a few fans along the way.
I guess.
Those girls are super aggressive.
Sure.
Hockey fans.
Where did Ivan get to,anyway? Yeah,Ben,you got to make sure he doesn't stay out too late tonight.
He's got a big game tomorrow.
Wow,Buzz.
Your paternal instincts are touching.
And I'm sure that your concern for Ivan has nothing to dowith any monetary interests.
Three beers,please.
Hey,keep your head in the game.
You're losing blondes by the hour.
Oh,man.
You better choose fast.
Thanks.
What do I do? It would be supremely lame to blow this.
Mm-hmm.
Listen to your wingwoman.
She's trying to clear you for a landing.
But the moose turned out to be a friend of mine.
Morgan?Oh,thank you.
Uh,no.
No,thanks.
I think I'm gonna have to turn in.
Oh,really?Yeah.
Normally,we'd be asleep hours ago.
Not hours.
Thank you.
Thanks for dinner.
You know,I just can't get over it.
You have had such a transformation.
Oh,I'm a city girl at heart.
I'm just on vacation.
Oh,please.
You own a cabin in alaska.
Honey,this is not a vacation.
This is your life.
And what a great character you make.
You think? I don't think my story's all that splashy.
Well,it's not about splashy,you know? You gave up coure for flannel.
America will love that.
Oh,no.
I do not wear flannel.
This is Jack's.
I just put it on'cause I'm chilly.
And Jack.
Should we talk Jack? The perfect man to bring out your inner bumpkin.
I'm telling you, every career woman in America's gonna want to cash in her 401k to let a guy like that sweep her off her feet.
Hey,easy,Morgan Fairchild.
I don't want to have to catfight you for him.
Oh,you know,it's getting late.
I'm keeping you up.
No,no.
And I really do have to go.
I am due to have dessert with the mayor of petersburg tonight.
And then tomorrow,I'm opening a club in wrangell.
Wow.
No rest for the wicked.
That sounds like fun.
Really? Believe it or not,I am a night person.
I swear.
Well,trust me,you wouldn't enjoy this.
It's gonna be way too loud,way too crowded, and you would have to get all dressed up in the most uncomfortable clothes imaginable.
I used to do that all the time.
Thanks again for dinner.
Pleasure.
That was so sweet of you.
So I'll see you tomorrow? I assume I can find you at the chieftain.
Uh,you're probably right.
Okay,good night.
Good night.
Both: 1,2,3! Good stuff.
Another.
You're not driving are you? No,I'm with my friends.
Oh,no.
When did they leave? About your third one of these.
You're a pretty bad wingwoman.
Well,you messed up,too.
You were supposed to pick one.
Hot girls get bored! Hot girls are lame.
Oh! Easy does it.
Almost there.
Wow,your house is huge! Yeah.
Shh.
It's an inn.
It's a what? I can't do this.
What happened? 'Cause I'm gross and awful and no one ever picks me? No,no,no,no,no,no.
You're great.
You were the least annoying girl there tonight.
I could probably take advantage of you, but I would not feel good about it.
Oh.
You're sweet.
Okay.
Let's get you upstairs.
Okay.
Oh,hold on! The way the moon lights your skin, you mind me of the paintings from my schoolbook.
The girl with the titian hair -- yeah.
I've heard that one before.
Yes,your new hair.
I love it.
It looks so fresh,so sexy.
Ivan,what are you doing? Ah.
Why won't you kiss me? One little kiss.
I'm not gonna feel sorry for you.
You were covered with women at the bar.
They were silly.
You are serious,huh? I have had a tough year.
Mm.
You remind me of my country -- a beautiful face with a complicated history.
And you invented the necktie.
Oh.
You study croatia? A-a little.
I read.
Ah.
So do I.
No one cares about history anymore.
You said it.
What does that mean? You are a girl who is unforgettable.
Wow,that's certainly something that's good to h-hear.
You're -- you're drunk.
You don't know what you're doing.
And I-I-I don't know what I'm doing,either.
I I don't want to lead you on,Ivan.
I I'm just not ready.
So I will wait.
Okay.
I'll see you at the game tonight mm.
Hey,babe? Do you ever wish we did more stuff? Like what? Just stuff.
You know,go to concerts,restaurants.
Is there a concert that you want to go to? Not specifically.
I'm just saying.
Okay,but there aren't really any restaurants around here.
We can go to anchorage again.
It's like hundreds of miles away.
Well,it's alaska.
Everything's hundreds of miles away.
So we just swear off all urban adventure? Hockey and chieftain burgers until the end of time? Is this you talking or Morgan Fairchild? No,it's just I used to besparkly.
I used to have fun.
Go out at midnight,order whatever I wanted off the menu wear really impractical outfits.
You still wear impractical outfits.
That's not what I mean.
Well,I mean,what do you mean? Everyone's been telling you how great you look, how happy you seem.
Are they wrong? No,I just don't want to wake upone morning and be a -- a zero.
Don't tell me.
This has something to do with the whole cellphone thing.
It's a symbol,but it's bigger than that.
I'm afraid I'm not the sam person I was in New York.
Well,you're not.
You came up here,and you changed.
Isn't that what you wanted? I'm not sure.
Okay.
I won't take that personally.
It has nothing to do with you.
Your life up here,the choices you make, whether or not you're happy? Yeah,I guess that has nothing to do with me.
Uh,I'm gonna go.
I'll beat the game tonight.
If you decide that you're the kind of person who wants to be there with me,great.
can I help you? Oh.
You.
I brought these for pastor Eric.
I know he usually has breakfast here.
Sorry.
He just stepped away.
Fine.
Can you give these to him? Oatmeal chocolate chip -- his favorite.
Actually,Eric likes peanut butter cookies.
Mm,not as much as these.
I checked the website.
There's a website? IheartpastorEric.
Com -- the pastorettes started it up.
You guys have a name? Just make sure he gets the cookies.
Eric: Who was that? Apastorette.
She brought you these.
Oatmeal chocolate chip.
Apparently,they're your favorite.
Oh,yeah.
Yeah,yeah.
Listen,I was thinking I could come watch you guys play again.
Really listen this time.
Tonight -- bad.
Maybe next week.
Hey.
How'd you sleep? Great.
I guess.
I kind of passed out.
Hey,we didn't,you know? Oh,no.
No.
Just so you know,I'm not usually like that.
Yeah,me neither.
But I liked it.
You want to get breakfast? Oh,I'm not much of a breakfast person.
No,me neither.
Okay.
D-do you want a tour of the town? Sure.
Hey.
Hello,Jerome.
Movie star.
Can I have your autograph? Mai,I'm not actually in the movie.
I know that.
But when the embarrassing details of your personal life come out, I'm gonna get a lot of money for this.
Everyone's gonna see this movie, especially with dolly parton playing me.
You guys,this is a small movie.
I don't think there's anybody famous going to be in it.
In your movie,maybe,but in my movie, it's dolly parton and charles bronson.
They can do that with computers, you know,now.
Bobby De Niro plays me.
Whoo! But he looks nothing like you.
So what? He captures my intensity.
I see some Famke Janssen in you.
I think Billy Bob Thornton would do me justice.
And who would play you? Who knows? I'm not even the lead in the movie of my own life.
I'm just a groupie.
Hmm? Turns out Eric has fans.
You don't say.
Yes.
And they bake.
Oh.
Hmm.
Watch out,Jerome.
Here comes your girlfriend.
Oh,easy,billy bob.
Welcome,miss Fairchild.
Hi.
Hello,muse.
How are you? I'm great.
Um hey,listen.
Are you still opening that club tonight? Yeah,that's right.
Oh,I would love to come with you.
Uh I also am available.
That's good to know.
Now,look,this club,it's not your thing.
No,I know it seems like that, but it is really what I need right now.
Trust me.
I can't even stay for the game.
I have to leave as soon as I sing.
Oh.
Well,I don't need to go to the game.
I'll meet you at the club.
Okay.
Hey.
Wingwoman,huh? Yeah.
Guess I got myself a fan.
Well played.
Have you seen Ivan? No,I haven't seen him since he, uh,took off last night.
Annie,did Ivan go home with you last night? Um,he walked me home.
He did not come in.
I am a lady,thank you very much for asking.
Okay.
I-I-I got to go call theresa.
Annie,you better not have messed with that boy.
I got a lot of money riding on him.
I didn't touch him.
Your drunk ass was supposed to be at the rink two hours ago.
But I don't feel good.
I don't care.
Ladies and gentlemen,here to sing our national anthem, hollywood legend Morgan Fairchild! * Oh,say,can you see by the dawn's early light * * what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's la gleaming? * Ben! Oh,no.
Get his stuff.
Where the hell were you guys? I was about to have a heart attack.
That's not funny.
Well,what happened? Ivan happened! He threw up twice on the way here.
I don't know a lot about hockey, but I'm guessing that's not good.
* Gallantly streaming and the rockets' red glare * * the bombs bursting in air * * gave proof through the night * * that our flag was still there * * oh,say,does that star-spangled * * Banner yet wave * * o'er the land of the free * * and the home of the bra-a-a-ave? * Morgan: Marin! Hi! Hi! Oh,you made it.
And look -- you look fabulous.
You do.
Hey.
Hey.
You want to dance? Sorry.
I'm with a friend.
Uh,excuse us.
Thank you.
Oh,thanks.
I've missed all this.
Oh,you.
What,do you groom now? Never been in a hair salon.
Smells pretty good.
Well,I'd offer you a wash and set, but I don't want to freak you out with my heartfelt gestes.
Look,I thought about what you were saying.
You deserve better.
I understand if you don't want to do the surgery.
All I wanted to know is that my kidney would be taken care of.
I'm not used to letting people do stuff for me.
But I was thinking,having your kidney, maybe you'll rub off on me.
Are you purposefully trying to make me cry? If we make it through this thing okay, I was thinking maybe I'd take you,me, and your kidney out somewhere.
Maybe a george michael concert or something.
Cash,you're sweet.
But he doesn't really do concerts anymore, just community service.
Hey,have you seen my friend? I'll be your friend.
Thanks,but no.
Hey,what's the problem? No,I don't have a problem.
I just didn't come here to meet anybody.
Why else would you come here? Watch the hands.
There you are.
Seriously? It's not even legal in New York anymore.
Listen,there's another place we can check out after this.
"After this.
" Yeah,the night is young.
You're on fire.
Oh,I don't know about that.
No,Marin,turn around! Oh,my god! God! Aah! Thanks.
Here.
honey this is perfect.
Act break! I'm sorry? For the movie.
Marin hasn't been to a club in a million years.
She goes,she's completely out of her element! Literally,she catches on fire.
Yes,I might find that funny if it hadn't just happened to me.
No,relax.
Hey,listen.
You're the one who said you missed all this -- the fun,the excitement, the "who knows what the night will bring?" Yes,I think I do know what the night will bring, which is why I need to go.
I'm sorry.
Someplace else I need to be.
Go! Close game.
Yeah.
Hey,what took you so long? Thought maybe you went back to New York.
Oh,I'm sorry about before.
Yeah,me too.
But I get it.
You do? Yeah.
I mean,if I moved to New York, I'd want to hold on to who I am.
I wouldn't want to start wearing suits and drinking all kinds of martinis.
That's not all New York men do,but okay.
Go on.
Well,maybe I didn't kw you back then, but New York,that life -- that's what made you who you are.
And I never want you to change that.
Have you been smoking? Uh,no,but I was briefly on fire.
Long story.
Well,for the record,uh if I ever do sell that number, you're not building a deck.
I am getting myself a very fancy pair of shoes.
Okay.
Whatever you say,coach.
Yahoo! Pass it! Hey,Jerome! On duty.
Hi,there.
Hi.
Oh,I'm sorry about leaving you last night.
Ah,I wondered what happened to you.
Well,that scene -- it wasn't me.
And I hope I didn't waste your time, butI think I want to hold on to my life.
It's not over yet,and I need to see what happens.
I understand.
You helped remind me of why I'm here.
Good.
This may work out for the best.
You know who has a fantastic life? Hmm? Mai washington.
Oh,what a story.
And I've always wanted to play Asian.
Ready, miss Fairchild.
Ah, Jerome awaits.
Take care, Marin.
You too.
Eric: Thank you all for coming here today.
I know that it doesn't look like much yet but as far as I'm concerned, the church is this right here-- all of you -- all of us.
Sorry.
You again.
Yes.
It is.
A church starts with the people who believe in it, and I wrote this song for the woman who believes in me who's very hard to surprise, by the way.
* I know it makes you want to cry sometimes * * it makes you feel like a kid,doesn't it? * * Look up in the sky sometimes * * and it seems it's all falling on you * * when I see,* * when I see you,sara * * I can see there's a light shining through * * and when you look into my eyes, sweet sara * * you can see what I see in you * We all love to lose ourselves n a good movie.
When I was a girl, I loved "the wizard of oz" * that's love,love,love * Especially the moment when dorothy opens the door into that fantastic world.
* When it's reflecting on,* * reflecting on you * * when I see,when I see you,sara * * I can see there's a light * But once dorothy appreciated how bright and beautiful everything was, she realized she had a bit of a mess on her hands.
One of the classic examples of "be careful what you wish for.
" Spend five minutes in a fantasy and you just might find yourself wishing for your old life back.
Yeah,Larry,I'm gonna need another week to get your money.
I'll get your money in one week, Larry.
Marin: We miss what's right in front of us when we're busy looking over the rainbow.
But sometimes it takes stepping into someone else's world to realize how much you love the life you have.
Just how lucky you are, you are everywhere you look Marin: Because no matter how magical the movies are, at the end of the day, there's no place like home.
Just putting it out there in the universe.
This is where I'm gonna build my church.
We're waiting for Ben to get here with his new star hockey player.
Meet Ivan! Are you a hockey fan? I could be.
We got you on the kidney-donor list.
When someone offers you a kidney, you take it.
* You say that I'm the one for you * * and I do believe it's true * Do you hear that? Oh, the sound of my triple-word victory? Yes-- loud and clear.
No, that ringing sound.
* Wish I may,I wish I might * Hello? I'm sorry,what? Oh, well, that is a very fascinating and bizarre offer, but, um, I-I don't think so.
Thank you, but, no.
No, really.
No amount of money.
Truly.
Okay, bye-bye.
What was that? Some guy in New York wants to buy my cellphone number.
What? It's a really great number- lots of 1's, easy to remember, which is why I'm keeping it.
How much did he offer you? $1,000.
And you said no? You don't even use that phone.
I just did.
Well, you didn't recognize the ring.
It's my professional number.
I've had it for years.
I'm not giving it up.
$1,000? We could build a new deck for that.
Winter is coming.
We'll be inside.
It's a 917 number.
Do you have any idea how hard those are to come by? Not really, no.
You're not a New Yorker.
You wouldn't understand.
Trust me.
The number's priceless.
Yeah, you've been living here over a year.
Just how long you gonna call yourself a New Yorker? Being a New Yorker's a state of mind and an area code.
Your turn.
Hey! Look who's here.
We didn't think we'd be seeing you guys till the next thaw.
I guess we've been laying low.
Well, given recent events, I think we've earned a few days of sloth, gluttony, lust, and other sins.
Well, whatever you're doing, your skin looks fabulous.
That's because she goes to bed at 9:30 every night.
I do not! I go to bed to read at 9:30.
Hey, princess.
Hey, Cash, what are you doing here? Got a couple of days before our surgery.
Thought I'd get some food that's not jell-O.
I'm so happy you're here.
I was hoping we could have a little confab before we go under the knife.
Okay.
I just feel like if I'm gonna give a part of myself away, I just want to know where it's going,you know? Pretty sure it's going right here.
No, I mean, I want to get to know you.
We should have coffee and talk.
I don't like coffee.
Well, that's good to know.
Now we're getting somewhere.
I'll get us a couple of cranberry juices and sodas.
Cranberries-- good for the kidneys.
Flush it right out.
It's sweet.
He wants to bond.
Yeah, it's really not my thing.
Would you come on? He just wants to spend some time with you, do something with him that's you, only nice.
Yeah take him to a Huskies game.
Oh, yeah! Great idea.
We've got season tickets.
Best 15 bucks I ever spent.
Since when did you become a hockey fan? Since Broadway moved 3,000 miles away.
Caffeine-free cranberry.
Drink it.
Hey, uh, I'm going camping later.
You want to come? You're about to have surgery.
You think you should be sleeping in the woods? Apparently you don't.
Listen, I'm going stir-crazy.
Need to get some fresh air before I'm laid up again.
Sounds perfect.
Well, it's no Huskies game.
Yeah, go, Huskies! Whoo-whoo! Yeah! Whoo! Who are the Huskies? Let's go! Let's go! That kid can move! Oh, yeah.
He wasn't even 21 yet.
You got your stats down, huh? Part of being a good manager.
That and being a walking first-aid kit.
These guys from Sitka aren't gonna know what hit 'em.
No, sir.
Hey, look, I got to call Larry on this first game.
You want in? I thought Mai made you break up with your bookie.
I don't have to say anything to Mai until I buy her that big, shiny new car.
Thanks,honey.
I'm heading back to the church.
I shouldn't be too late.
I thought you abandoned the church.
He's building a new one.
Doesn't have any walls yet.
Yeah, you should come check it out, Jerome.
What's god done for me lately, huh? I stand corrected.
We're having a "we just put on the roof" party this sunday.
My band's gonna play.
You're in a band? You never told me that.
Yeah! That's 'cause she's embarrassed.
I'm not embarrassed.
I just don't want to cramp Eric's style.
And she's afraid that we really suck.
Ah.
Bye,honey.
I dated a performance artist once.
He did a one-man show called "Marindipity.
" Not good.
Why? What does it matter if Eric's not good at something? It's just that I only know good things about Eric now.
If his band is bad, then all that is ruined.
I like thinking I have the perfect boyfriend.
Oh, you'll just support the guy.
Yeah, he's right.
Performance artist excluded, sometimes that little extra step can go a long way in your relationship.
Yeah, kind of like giving up your cellphone so your boyfriend can build you a deck.
No, no.
Annie, he wants me to give up my 917.
What? Jack, no! A 646, maybe, but a 917? That's vintage.
That's class.
That's New York city.
Hey.
Told you.
The Alaska area code is 907.
It's only one number off.
You could get used to that, right? No, no, no.
There is aig difference between being a 1 and being a 0.
Big difference.
Hey.
Hey.
Help me get some glasses.
She'll be here any minute.
Who? Morgan: Excuse me.
Is Ben Thomasson here? Morgan Fairchild.
Dear god in heaven, you're earning your stripes today.
Everyone, raise your glasses, and let's give a big Elmo welcome to Morgan Fairchild.
Thank you for coming all the way up here to sing the national anthem at our opening game.
May your good will bring us good luck.
To Morgan.
All: To Morgan! Morgan: Thank you.
Excuse me, I think I know that lady.
Excuse me, aren't you Marin Frist, the relationship coach? I am.
Hi.
We met in New York about a year ago at a party.
Yes! At Peggy's benefit at The Met.
You had just gotten engaged.
Except I would have remembered you.
Oh, hi.
I'm Jack.
Hi.
Morgan.
So, I've been going around the country singing anthems, cutting ribbons, just killing time until I find my next project.
I know what I'm doing in this strange bar in the middle of nowhere, but what are you doing here? Not that you aren't reason enough, cowboy.
Well, I came here for a speaking engagement, kind of like you.
And you're still here? So they're not kidding about flights being hard to come by.
Well, I arrived and realized I didn't know what the hell I was talking about, so my life had gotten away from me.
I stayed here to find it.
That's the short version.
What's the long version? Well, it involves a lot of drinks and a close call with hypothermia.
Are you in town for a while? Well, if you're any example, I guess so.
Well, have some dinner with us.
I'd love to catch up.
Well, I don't want to impose.
Don't be silly.
I'll give you my cell.
It's 917 -- or you could just drop by.
There's no need to call.
Here,I'll -- I'll give you directions.
"Just drop by.
" Oh,that is so small-town.
I just love it.
Why'd you bring all this stuff? I got beans and oatmeal.
Did you bring chocolate chips? Because my camp counselor always brought chocolate chips for the pancakes.
No.
I haven't thought about camp in years.
But roughing it like this really takes me back.
Is that right? Oh,my kidney and I have had a rich and wonderful life.
Put it in the chair and let me tell you about it.
My kidney and I -- the places we've been -- the streets of Mumbai, that guy in Aspen.
Ha! Is this gonna take long? I don't know.
I'm freestyling.
My kidney has always had only the best.
We saw George Michael before his arrest.
So,where do you think you'll take my kidney? Not sure.
Hadn't thought about it.
It's never been to Dollywood, if you're looking for suggestions.
Hey,did you make these in camp? Didn't go to camp.
Finally,a personal detail.
So,no camp.
Your mother didn't want to part with you, or maybe it was a money thing? Did your father make you work in the summer, or maybe you were sick as a kid.
I'm going fishing.
Okay.
Well,I'll be here to bond when you get back! Don't catch anything too fishy! Oh,nice wheels.
Yeah,you too.
Marin! Wait! Wait,wait! Wait right there.
Well Jerome? On duty.
Does Morgan know that you are not a real driver? Well,we have an understanding.
I love her,and she lets me drive.
Miss Fairchild.
Thank you,Jerome.
Hello.
Hi.
Where are you going on this adorable bicycle? Oh,I host a local radio show.
People call in and ask me relationship questions.
You're kidding.
Fabulous.
You're really making it work up here.
Well,I'm giving it a go.
Well,you have a great story.
New York society girl moves to alaska to remember what's important.
That does sound good when you put it that way.
Great.
'Cause that's my sales pitch.
I'm sorry? I want to be you.
Oh,Morgan,that is very kind, but your life isn't too shabby.
No,no.
I want to buy your life rights.
I want to play you in a movie! Patrick: Time to get your puck on,people.
Huskies game numero uno coming at you live tomorrow night,Thomasson Center.
Tickets are still available, but I dot know why.
You haven't seen hockey till you've seen Ivan the pancake play.
I never saw you as a hockey guy.
I guess everybody around here wishes he were a hockey player.
I tried on my skates the other day.
And? Not great.
Oh.
Thought maybe I was awesome and I just forgot,but,no.
Ivan,though -- he's the best hockey player I've ever seen! Aw,you got yourself a little man crush.
Come on! I don't have a crush on him.
Just want to be him.
Well,apparently,Morgan Fairchild wants to be me, or at least she wants to play me in a movie.
Seriously? How cool is that? It is,right? It's just,why me? Who would want to come to that movie? I would.
Oh,thanks.
I don't know.
I guess if you strung all the good parts together, it would be a movie -- small movie,something you might see at the angelika.
At least you remember all your parts.
In my movie,I'd leave that lightning bolt on the cutting-room floor.
Good point.
Hey,Elmo.
Patrick and I were just discussing movie magic there's something about sitting down in a dark theater that lets you escape the reality of your own lives and live in the fantasy of someone else's story.
But what if the cameras were turned on you? In the movie of your life,do you like what you see? Hey.
Think venison stew is worthy of someone who wants to buy my life? Yeah.
Ah,that smells amazing.
So,just so we're clear mm-hmm.
You'll sell your life but not your phone number.
Ha ha.
You think Morgan will stay long? Was kind of hoping to have an ear evening with you.
It's what we do every night.
It's not gonna hurt us to mix things up a bit.
Hello! Welcome to our humble abode.
Oh,I love it.
Really? Oh,yes.
It's fantastic.
It's so rustic.
Um,let's see -- basic,bare bones,and a slight draft.
Oh,we're still searching for a decorating scheme.
We are? I have to turn off the stew.
Stew? And you -- now,you look like a man who could wrestle a salmon out of the water.
Well,I just use a fishing rod like everybody else.
Jack,now tell me.
Before you moved in here with Marin, where were you living? By the stream? Or in the woods? In a cave? No,I just was in a house about five minutes from here.
I hope you like venison.
Local specialty.
Marin,I am so impressed.
I got to tell you,most women can't do country chic, and you wear it well.
Oh.
Well,thank you.
Wine? Blueberry zinfandel.
So,a toast.
From New York to nowhere.
What a great story we'll tell.
To the Huskies! Whoo! It's just so embarrassing.
How they're falling all over him.
And they all think he's Russian.
They don't understand the struggle the Croatian people had with Yugoslavia.
Sara: Wow,someone's really done their homework.
I just don't like to see women make fools of themselves because a guy's got a touch of celebrity.
You can relate.
You're dating a rock star.
I'm dating a pastor who plays the guitar.
Speaking of which,I got to go.
I told Eric I'd pick him up from practice.
Go school those girls in Croatian heritage.
They invented the necktie.
Patrick,come here.
What do you need,boss? You must be my wingman.
Yeah,I need you to distract these women for me so I can concentrate on Annie.
Okay,but I don't really know how to play wingman.
Ladies,have you met my good friend Patrick? He's a key player.
Never seen him.
Ah,that is because he is like a stealth bomber on the ice and into your hearts.
Trust me.
Hey.
Hi.
How are you? Sometimes Ivan's talking and I have no idea what he's saying, but I'm still like,"wow! Yes.
" So,who do you like -- blondes or brunettes? oh,god! They're everywhere! Don't worry.
I'm not here to pick you up.
I'm the wingwoman.
Greta.
Oh,I'm Patrick.
I'm the wingman.
Not tonight you're not.
Looks like he's out of commission, which makes you top gun.
So,who do you like,mavErick? Uh hi.
Hey.
Cash.
Cash? What are you doing? You sound like a possum or something.
I can't sleep.
You want to tell stories? No.
You've hardly told me anything about yourself.
Isn't that the point of all this? I'm not a real exciting guy.
Hey,don't say that in front of my kidney.
He's used to life in the fast lane.
Yeah,I got that.
When they cut us open and we're lying there, side by side in the operating room do you think our souls will collide? Did you eat the mushrooms by the river? No,I didn't eat the -- I'm just trying to prepare ourselves and my kidney for the great unknown.
Oh! Here.
I finished your bracelet.
I have one,too.
Now we're like camp buddies.
Camp kidneyhoa! Look.
I owe you for life,I get that, but this other stuff -- camp kidneyhoa and the kind of dates I'm gonna take your kidney on -- I didn't sign up for that,okay? What,a person can't try to form a bond with someone he's donating vital organs to? You just got to chill out.
It's not like we're dating.
No,but I thought we'd be friends.
But friends consider other people's feelings.
I guess you wouldn't know anything about that.
* I can feel this hope like a river to the ocean * * tell me,did you feel this way? * Excuse me.
Sorry.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Uh,we were here first.
Sorry.
I'm just here to pick up my boyfriend.
Yeah? Get in line.
* It only made me want to be with you * * every time I think about you * * several thousand times a day * * I can feel this hope * * like a river to the ocean * * tell me,do you feel this way? * All right.
Thanks for coming.
You came.
Yeah.
You guys are good! Surprised,right? Great,you guys.
Awesome.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Man: Cool.
Thanks for coming,you guys.
Hey,good to see you.
Hey,Eric?Yeah.
Who are all these women? I think we might have picked up a few fans along the way.
I guess.
Those girls are super aggressive.
Sure.
Hockey fans.
Where did Ivan get to,anyway? Yeah,Ben,you got to make sure he doesn't stay out too late tonight.
He's got a big game tomorrow.
Wow,Buzz.
Your paternal instincts are touching.
And I'm sure that your concern for Ivan has nothing to dowith any monetary interests.
Three beers,please.
Hey,keep your head in the game.
You're losing blondes by the hour.
Oh,man.
You better choose fast.
Thanks.
What do I do? It would be supremely lame to blow this.
Mm-hmm.
Listen to your wingwoman.
She's trying to clear you for a landing.
But the moose turned out to be a friend of mine.
Morgan?Oh,thank you.
Uh,no.
No,thanks.
I think I'm gonna have to turn in.
Oh,really?Yeah.
Normally,we'd be asleep hours ago.
Not hours.
Thank you.
Thanks for dinner.
You know,I just can't get over it.
You have had such a transformation.
Oh,I'm a city girl at heart.
I'm just on vacation.
Oh,please.
You own a cabin in alaska.
Honey,this is not a vacation.
This is your life.
And what a great character you make.
You think? I don't think my story's all that splashy.
Well,it's not about splashy,you know? You gave up coure for flannel.
America will love that.
Oh,no.
I do not wear flannel.
This is Jack's.
I just put it on'cause I'm chilly.
And Jack.
Should we talk Jack? The perfect man to bring out your inner bumpkin.
I'm telling you, every career woman in America's gonna want to cash in her 401k to let a guy like that sweep her off her feet.
Hey,easy,Morgan Fairchild.
I don't want to have to catfight you for him.
Oh,you know,it's getting late.
I'm keeping you up.
No,no.
And I really do have to go.
I am due to have dessert with the mayor of petersburg tonight.
And then tomorrow,I'm opening a club in wrangell.
Wow.
No rest for the wicked.
That sounds like fun.
Really? Believe it or not,I am a night person.
I swear.
Well,trust me,you wouldn't enjoy this.
It's gonna be way too loud,way too crowded, and you would have to get all dressed up in the most uncomfortable clothes imaginable.
I used to do that all the time.
Thanks again for dinner.
Pleasure.
That was so sweet of you.
So I'll see you tomorrow? I assume I can find you at the chieftain.
Uh,you're probably right.
Okay,good night.
Good night.
Both: 1,2,3! Good stuff.
Another.
You're not driving are you? No,I'm with my friends.
Oh,no.
When did they leave? About your third one of these.
You're a pretty bad wingwoman.
Well,you messed up,too.
You were supposed to pick one.
Hot girls get bored! Hot girls are lame.
Oh! Easy does it.
Almost there.
Wow,your house is huge! Yeah.
Shh.
It's an inn.
It's a what? I can't do this.
What happened? 'Cause I'm gross and awful and no one ever picks me? No,no,no,no,no,no.
You're great.
You were the least annoying girl there tonight.
I could probably take advantage of you, but I would not feel good about it.
Oh.
You're sweet.
Okay.
Let's get you upstairs.
Okay.
Oh,hold on! The way the moon lights your skin, you mind me of the paintings from my schoolbook.
The girl with the titian hair -- yeah.
I've heard that one before.
Yes,your new hair.
I love it.
It looks so fresh,so sexy.
Ivan,what are you doing? Ah.
Why won't you kiss me? One little kiss.
I'm not gonna feel sorry for you.
You were covered with women at the bar.
They were silly.
You are serious,huh? I have had a tough year.
Mm.
You remind me of my country -- a beautiful face with a complicated history.
And you invented the necktie.
Oh.
You study croatia? A-a little.
I read.
Ah.
So do I.
No one cares about history anymore.
You said it.
What does that mean? You are a girl who is unforgettable.
Wow,that's certainly something that's good to h-hear.
You're -- you're drunk.
You don't know what you're doing.
And I-I-I don't know what I'm doing,either.
I I don't want to lead you on,Ivan.
I I'm just not ready.
So I will wait.
Okay.
I'll see you at the game tonight mm.
Hey,babe? Do you ever wish we did more stuff? Like what? Just stuff.
You know,go to concerts,restaurants.
Is there a concert that you want to go to? Not specifically.
I'm just saying.
Okay,but there aren't really any restaurants around here.
We can go to anchorage again.
It's like hundreds of miles away.
Well,it's alaska.
Everything's hundreds of miles away.
So we just swear off all urban adventure? Hockey and chieftain burgers until the end of time? Is this you talking or Morgan Fairchild? No,it's just I used to besparkly.
I used to have fun.
Go out at midnight,order whatever I wanted off the menu wear really impractical outfits.
You still wear impractical outfits.
That's not what I mean.
Well,I mean,what do you mean? Everyone's been telling you how great you look, how happy you seem.
Are they wrong? No,I just don't want to wake upone morning and be a -- a zero.
Don't tell me.
This has something to do with the whole cellphone thing.
It's a symbol,but it's bigger than that.
I'm afraid I'm not the sam person I was in New York.
Well,you're not.
You came up here,and you changed.
Isn't that what you wanted? I'm not sure.
Okay.
I won't take that personally.
It has nothing to do with you.
Your life up here,the choices you make, whether or not you're happy? Yeah,I guess that has nothing to do with me.
Uh,I'm gonna go.
I'll beat the game tonight.
If you decide that you're the kind of person who wants to be there with me,great.
can I help you? Oh.
You.
I brought these for pastor Eric.
I know he usually has breakfast here.
Sorry.
He just stepped away.
Fine.
Can you give these to him? Oatmeal chocolate chip -- his favorite.
Actually,Eric likes peanut butter cookies.
Mm,not as much as these.
I checked the website.
There's a website? IheartpastorEric.
Com -- the pastorettes started it up.
You guys have a name? Just make sure he gets the cookies.
Eric: Who was that? Apastorette.
She brought you these.
Oatmeal chocolate chip.
Apparently,they're your favorite.
Oh,yeah.
Yeah,yeah.
Listen,I was thinking I could come watch you guys play again.
Really listen this time.
Tonight -- bad.
Maybe next week.
Hey.
How'd you sleep? Great.
I guess.
I kind of passed out.
Hey,we didn't,you know? Oh,no.
No.
Just so you know,I'm not usually like that.
Yeah,me neither.
But I liked it.
You want to get breakfast? Oh,I'm not much of a breakfast person.
No,me neither.
Okay.
D-do you want a tour of the town? Sure.
Hey.
Hello,Jerome.
Movie star.
Can I have your autograph? Mai,I'm not actually in the movie.
I know that.
But when the embarrassing details of your personal life come out, I'm gonna get a lot of money for this.
Everyone's gonna see this movie, especially with dolly parton playing me.
You guys,this is a small movie.
I don't think there's anybody famous going to be in it.
In your movie,maybe,but in my movie, it's dolly parton and charles bronson.
They can do that with computers, you know,now.
Bobby De Niro plays me.
Whoo! But he looks nothing like you.
So what? He captures my intensity.
I see some Famke Janssen in you.
I think Billy Bob Thornton would do me justice.
And who would play you? Who knows? I'm not even the lead in the movie of my own life.
I'm just a groupie.
Hmm? Turns out Eric has fans.
You don't say.
Yes.
And they bake.
Oh.
Hmm.
Watch out,Jerome.
Here comes your girlfriend.
Oh,easy,billy bob.
Welcome,miss Fairchild.
Hi.
Hello,muse.
How are you? I'm great.
Um hey,listen.
Are you still opening that club tonight? Yeah,that's right.
Oh,I would love to come with you.
Uh I also am available.
That's good to know.
Now,look,this club,it's not your thing.
No,I know it seems like that, but it is really what I need right now.
Trust me.
I can't even stay for the game.
I have to leave as soon as I sing.
Oh.
Well,I don't need to go to the game.
I'll meet you at the club.
Okay.
Hey.
Wingwoman,huh? Yeah.
Guess I got myself a fan.
Well played.
Have you seen Ivan? No,I haven't seen him since he, uh,took off last night.
Annie,did Ivan go home with you last night? Um,he walked me home.
He did not come in.
I am a lady,thank you very much for asking.
Okay.
I-I-I got to go call theresa.
Annie,you better not have messed with that boy.
I got a lot of money riding on him.
I didn't touch him.
Your drunk ass was supposed to be at the rink two hours ago.
But I don't feel good.
I don't care.
Ladies and gentlemen,here to sing our national anthem, hollywood legend Morgan Fairchild! * Oh,say,can you see by the dawn's early light * * what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's la gleaming? * Ben! Oh,no.
Get his stuff.
Where the hell were you guys? I was about to have a heart attack.
That's not funny.
Well,what happened? Ivan happened! He threw up twice on the way here.
I don't know a lot about hockey, but I'm guessing that's not good.
* Gallantly streaming and the rockets' red glare * * the bombs bursting in air * * gave proof through the night * * that our flag was still there * * oh,say,does that star-spangled * * Banner yet wave * * o'er the land of the free * * and the home of the bra-a-a-ave? * Morgan: Marin! Hi! Hi! Oh,you made it.
And look -- you look fabulous.
You do.
Hey.
Hey.
You want to dance? Sorry.
I'm with a friend.
Uh,excuse us.
Thank you.
Oh,thanks.
I've missed all this.
Oh,you.
What,do you groom now? Never been in a hair salon.
Smells pretty good.
Well,I'd offer you a wash and set, but I don't want to freak you out with my heartfelt gestes.
Look,I thought about what you were saying.
You deserve better.
I understand if you don't want to do the surgery.
All I wanted to know is that my kidney would be taken care of.
I'm not used to letting people do stuff for me.
But I was thinking,having your kidney, maybe you'll rub off on me.
Are you purposefully trying to make me cry? If we make it through this thing okay, I was thinking maybe I'd take you,me, and your kidney out somewhere.
Maybe a george michael concert or something.
Cash,you're sweet.
But he doesn't really do concerts anymore, just community service.
Hey,have you seen my friend? I'll be your friend.
Thanks,but no.
Hey,what's the problem? No,I don't have a problem.
I just didn't come here to meet anybody.
Why else would you come here? Watch the hands.
There you are.
Seriously? It's not even legal in New York anymore.
Listen,there's another place we can check out after this.
"After this.
" Yeah,the night is young.
You're on fire.
Oh,I don't know about that.
No,Marin,turn around! Oh,my god! God! Aah! Thanks.
Here.
honey this is perfect.
Act break! I'm sorry? For the movie.
Marin hasn't been to a club in a million years.
She goes,she's completely out of her element! Literally,she catches on fire.
Yes,I might find that funny if it hadn't just happened to me.
No,relax.
Hey,listen.
You're the one who said you missed all this -- the fun,the excitement, the "who knows what the night will bring?" Yes,I think I do know what the night will bring, which is why I need to go.
I'm sorry.
Someplace else I need to be.
Go! Close game.
Yeah.
Hey,what took you so long? Thought maybe you went back to New York.
Oh,I'm sorry about before.
Yeah,me too.
But I get it.
You do? Yeah.
I mean,if I moved to New York, I'd want to hold on to who I am.
I wouldn't want to start wearing suits and drinking all kinds of martinis.
That's not all New York men do,but okay.
Go on.
Well,maybe I didn't kw you back then, but New York,that life -- that's what made you who you are.
And I never want you to change that.
Have you been smoking? Uh,no,but I was briefly on fire.
Long story.
Well,for the record,uh if I ever do sell that number, you're not building a deck.
I am getting myself a very fancy pair of shoes.
Okay.
Whatever you say,coach.
Yahoo! Pass it! Hey,Jerome! On duty.
Hi,there.
Hi.
Oh,I'm sorry about leaving you last night.
Ah,I wondered what happened to you.
Well,that scene -- it wasn't me.
And I hope I didn't waste your time, butI think I want to hold on to my life.
It's not over yet,and I need to see what happens.
I understand.
You helped remind me of why I'm here.
Good.
This may work out for the best.
You know who has a fantastic life? Hmm? Mai washington.
Oh,what a story.
And I've always wanted to play Asian.
Ready, miss Fairchild.
Ah, Jerome awaits.
Take care, Marin.
You too.
Eric: Thank you all for coming here today.
I know that it doesn't look like much yet but as far as I'm concerned, the church is this right here-- all of you -- all of us.
Sorry.
You again.
Yes.
It is.
A church starts with the people who believe in it, and I wrote this song for the woman who believes in me who's very hard to surprise, by the way.
* I know it makes you want to cry sometimes * * it makes you feel like a kid,doesn't it? * * Look up in the sky sometimes * * and it seems it's all falling on you * * when I see,* * when I see you,sara * * I can see there's a light shining through * * and when you look into my eyes, sweet sara * * you can see what I see in you * We all love to lose ourselves n a good movie.
When I was a girl, I loved "the wizard of oz" * that's love,love,love * Especially the moment when dorothy opens the door into that fantastic world.
* When it's reflecting on,* * reflecting on you * * when I see,when I see you,sara * * I can see there's a light * But once dorothy appreciated how bright and beautiful everything was, she realized she had a bit of a mess on her hands.
One of the classic examples of "be careful what you wish for.
" Spend five minutes in a fantasy and you just might find yourself wishing for your old life back.
Yeah,Larry,I'm gonna need another week to get your money.
I'll get your money in one week, Larry.
Marin: We miss what's right in front of us when we're busy looking over the rainbow.
But sometimes it takes stepping into someone else's world to realize how much you love the life you have.
Just how lucky you are, you are everywhere you look Marin: Because no matter how magical the movies are, at the end of the day, there's no place like home.
