FIXES-SYNC

Woman:
"Behold her,

"single in the field.

"Yon solitary Highland lass,

"reaping and singing by herself.

"Stop here, or gently pass.

"Alone she cuts and binds
the grain,

"and sings a melancholy strain.

"Oh listen,
for the Vale profound

"is overflowing with the sound.

"No sweeter voice was ever heard

"in springtime
from the cuckoo-bird.

"Breaking the silence
of the seas

"among the furthest Hebrides.

"Will no one tell me
what she sings?

"Perhaps the plaintive
numbers flow

"for old unhappy far-off things
and battles long ago.

"Whate'er the theme,
the maiden sang

"as if her song
could have no ending.

"I saw her singing at her work
and o'er the sickle bending.

"The music in my heart I bore,

"long after it was heard
no more."

It's crazy, I have read that
poem a million times

and it's now only just
coming to life.

Ah, well,
that's Wordsworth for you.

This is what I meant
about his connection

to the natural world.

He believed that poetry should
be written to provide pleasure

through a rhythmic and
powerful expression of emotion.

It's risky to say
what we're feeling.

Scary, even.

Well, I have to admit,
I was a little scared about

taking this class,
but I've actually really enjoyed it.

Are you coming back
next semester?

Dr. Tompkins will be back
from sabbatical,

but I am... I'm working on it.

Well, I hope so,
you have been incredible.

(chuckling)
Great example of hyperbole.

You've clearly been
paying attention.

Oh, and as a thank you,

I got you some of that
British chocolate that you love.

My friend brought it back
from her studies abroad.

You're my favorite student.

I try.
(laughing)

- See you later.
- Bye.

(with mouth full)
Next.

Dr. Lambert?

Dean Grant.

May I?

Uh, please.

Looks like you've made
a lot of fans here

over the last three months.

Well, luckily I happen to be
teaching my favorite subject.

Well, it shows, Joss.

Well, hopefully it will give me
a better shot

at my interview next month.

I know that tenure track positions
are extremely competitive

so if there's anything else
I can do to stand out...

Well, getting the interview
in the first place

is half the battle.

But...

I just heard from
the Literary Review.

They kicked your paper back.

You're kidding.

They're intrigued by your dissection
of Wordsworth's work,

but they're not feeling like
you're saying anything new.

Something is missing.

Also your lack of published work
is a problem.

I've been published.

But it hasn't been cited
or won any awards.

Department funding is vital
for this.

(sighing)
Funding...

You know I'm on your side.

Yes, I'm sorry.

They're giving you two weeks
to re-submit.

(voice fading out)
You know, when I was your age,

there were a lot of roadblocks,
and I pushed through

and I worked hard.

Sometimes I thought
I couldn't do it, but I did.

And I know you can too...

Joss?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Two weeks. Okay?

- Okay.
- Okay.

♪

I don't get it, you've taught
at five different universities.

Sure, places that are smaller,

and where your teaching ability
matters more

than how many books
I haven't published.

Yes, but you served on the
faculty committee at this one.

And you organized that week-long
reading retreat last year,

which was incredible,
by the way.

I wish that mattered, Gwen,
but you know the saying.

It's publish or perish.

That mentality
is too intense for me.

That's why I love being a librarian.

The most pressure I face
is collecting late fees.

Which you are horrible at.

I know, I'm a real softy.

(laughing)

Ugh, I just wish I knew how to
get out of my head about this.

Actually, um,

I've been carrying this
around all week

just waiting for the right time
to give it to you.

What's this?

It's a present.
From your mom.

When was this?

About a year ago, when her health
started taking a turn.

You know Carol,
always putting everyone else first.

Open it.

She gave me specific instructions
to give this to you

two weeks before
your 35th birthday.

Cornwall...

It's my job to make sure you go.

This was the year I promised
we would finally

go visit her family farm,
the one that she grew up on.

She wanted to show me
the literary festival.

She thought of everything.
Airfare, taxi, train fare.

This ticket is for Monday.

Better start packing.

I can't just pick up
and go to England.

What better place to write
a paper about English poets

than England?

What do I tell the dean?

You could come up with a million
reasons not to do this,

but you made her a promise.

You've barely done anything
for yourself

since she passed away.

She wanted this for you.

What if something happens?

Like what?
Killer sheep?

You know what I mean.

What if my anxiety
gets really bad over there?

Then you use the techniques
your doctor gave you.

In the meantime, eat right,
exercise, and take your meds.

You can call me anytime
you want.

In fact, you should
call me often

so I can live vicariously
through you.

Go, Joss.

You need this.

Tegan, love,
I think the chickens have had

quite enough breakfast
for the moment.

They're looking quite plump
as it is, sweetheart.

Tegan?

Penny for your thoughts?

I just don't know why they're
making us read our poems

at the festival.

Because you've been
working hard on them,

and letting the kids read one
of their poems at the festival

is a tradition.

We're not even done
with them yet.

What if I don't finish?
What if I mess up?

Hey.

That's the beauty
of creative writing.

You can't go wrong, 'cause
anything you say is original.

Okay?

- Okay.
- Yeah?

Come one.

Oh.

There we go.

Right. Now nip inside,

before Gran realizes we
haven't left yet, all right?

Oi! Forgetting something,
are we?

Good girl, okay.

Thanks, Gran.

Glad I could be of service.
You two should be long gone.

It's my fault,
I was feeding the chickens.

It was my fault, I was stripping
the bed in the guest cottage.

Just trying to keep on top
of the bookings.

You're trying to drive me mad
is what you're doing.

I already changed them.

Right, well then.
Just making double sure.

I don't know why I bother.

If that next booking
ever turns up, I'll be amazed.

They reserved it nearly a year
ago and never confirmed.

At least they paid in full.

How you got me playing
chambermaid, I shall never know.

I think it rather suits you.

Oh, I'm sure you're
tickled pink.

Now it's your turn to play chauffeur

Sorry, I didn't mean

Oh, no. That's alright I think

Besides, I should get back

I'm still quite stuck actually.

Did you try dancing?

You know, I'm not sure
that would work for

the research paper,
but I should try it, huh?

What you need is a pasty.

Yes!

Actually, Felix and his wife
Isabelle are taking

their daughter Lily
to the harbor head,

and the puppet show.
We're gonna get pasties after.

You should come along.

Yes! You must.

I really shouldn't.

But maybe a change of scenery
would do me good.

I would only stay
for an hour, though.

We'll take it.

Alright.

Okay, but what is a pasty?

Lovely to see you again, Joss.

How are you enjoying Cornwall?

It's beautiful so far

Surviving Mrs. Carter I presume?

Easy!

Fell free to ignore him.

- I'm Isabelle.
- Oh, hi.

Felix's incredibly
tolerant wife.

Nice to meet you.
(laughing)

Isabelle runs the marketing
for the literary festival.

Oh, let's hope
you've heard of it.

Of course, my mom grew up here,
she used to go to it as a child.

Is that so?

Yeah, she even volunteered for the
festival when she was in her 20s.

Did she ever submit?

Not original work.

She wasn't much of
a writer herself,

but she did
memorize all the greats

and she would recite one
at the final event.

Oh, how lovely.
What's her name?

I bet my mother
will remember her.

- She remembers everything else.
- Oh, shush.

Carol Lambert.

Well, Carol Penberthy
was her maiden name.

That sounds familiar,
but I'll ask her.

Joss is a professor
of romantic literature.

So, connection.

- That's brilliant.
- Romantic eh?

Danny boy over here is
a hopeless romantic himself.

- Aren't you?
- That so?

(laughing)

I never answer such questions
on an empty tummy.

Well, Ashton's mum is taking
the girls for ice cream.

Right, well, that just means
one thing, doesn't it?

To the pub.
Come on.

How do they even think of this?
This is, like, genius.

The tin miners used to take
this down the mines with them,

and they would
never eat the crusts

because their hands were dirty.

- I never knew that.
- Is that real?

So what's the verdict?

Traditional or veg?

Traditional, definitely.

Danny:
All your meat
and veg in one bite.

How can you go wrong?

Hey, are we still on for Monday?

Danny:
The surveyor? Yeah.

Must we talk business?
We're having such a good time.

You don't have to decide yet,
but we will need to know how

much, you know,
land you'll have to swap out

if you decide to go that way.

Who wants another beer?

Yeah.
I will, yeah.

I should actually, um...
I should get going.

I've just...
I've slacked off enough.

Yeah, we can go.

Oh, no. That's okay.
You stay.

Have fun.
I can walk by myself.

Just point me
in the right direction.

Okay, em, we came
the more direct route.

If you want
a more scenic version,

It's very easy to do.

Okay.
Thank you.

Hey, Joss.

Um... Thank you

Catherine, and I met in London.

We got married
right after graduation,

against our parents' wishes.

I was in business school
when Tegan was born.

And things changed quickly.

Her parents cut her off,
and we started arguing.

A lot.

It was difficult.

One day, I came home after class
and Tegan was with a babysitter.

I never saw her again.

She just left?

She left a note saying that
it had gotten too much for her.

And, um...

Tegan doesn't remember,
though, luckily.

In her mind,
it's just been the two of us.

I'm so sorry.

Don't be.

It's in the past.

Where it belongs.

to live in the present.

what happened in the past

and worrying about what's
going to happen in the future.

Life's too short to deal
with all that stress.

All we can do is deal with the
problems right in front of us

and choose what
brings us the most joy.

That's beautiful.

It's a Carter original.

I thought so.

All this talk about
"joy" and "reading"

Of course.

Of course.

something a little different.

Alright, I'm going to
read you the words

to one of my very
favorite Wordsworth poems.

What's a Wordsworth poem?

Well, Wordsworth was a man
who wrote spectacular poetry.

So, you're going to
listen to the words,

and then you're going
to write the words,

but with pictures.

Sounds hard.

Sure, but it's good

You mean football?

Yes. Yes, I mean football.

Okay, should we try it?

Here's your pencils.
Alright.

I wandered lonely as a cloud.

That one's easy.

That floats on high
o'er vales and hills.

What's a vale?

It's a valley.

(chuckling)

When all at once I saw a crowd,

a host of golden daffodils.

Slow down!
I can't draw that fast!

It's alright. Just try not to be
intimidated by the words,

listen to them and think about
how they make you feel,

what they remind you of.

Think about the lyrics
to your favorite song.

The lyrics don't always make sense,
but they feel right.

Alright, keep going.

Beside the lake,
beneath the trees,

fluttering and dancing
in the breeze.

I can't just throw them away.

They're someone's treasures.

It's from my grandma to my mom.

She memorized all these poems,

Ever since she died,

look hard enough...

That I can find her, again.

Loss is a terrible thing.

I'm so glad
you got to see this place.

Me, too.

I'm not sure the experience was

quite what you wanted it to be.

It was so much more.

♪

You give your dad a hug for me.

Okay.

♪

Thank you.

(car door closing)

(engine starting)

What?

I have to tell you something.

Your tea method is
far superior to mine.

I'm glad you've finally
come around.

Thank you.

What about the turbines?

Any chance you've
come around to those?

We have to address it.

So let's address it.

They are hideous and noisy.

They'll be on the far
west pasture on the hill.

- The noise will be minimal.
- And what about the sheep?

- What about the sheep?
- They won't like it.

Well, they told you that,
did they?

I know this is hard for you.

But it's an opportunity
that would really help us.

I think we should do it.

Very well.

Go ahead.

You have my blessing.

It must feel like you're losing
everything you hold dear,

but I promise you
I'll never let that happen.

I love this place, too.

So does Tegan.

We're doing it for her,
too, Mum.

Ah, come here.

Forgive me
for what I said to you.

It was wicked,

and I've regretted
it ever since.

Your father would be
very proud of you, my boy.

You're a wonderful man
and an excellent father.

Mm.

And you deserve to be loved

by someone who cares
as deeply as you do.

Train to Paddington
leaves in two minutes.

Joss!

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I need to stop you
from getting on that train.

- But I...
- Please, I've got two minutes

to say this to you,
so let me just say it.

You came to Cornwall
for many reasons,

and I know
that I wasn't one of them.

In fact, I'm probably to blame

for constantly distracting you
from your research paper

and... and stopping you
from achieving

the thing you most
wanted to achieve.

But in the words
of the great English poet,

"You can't always
get what you want."

I repeat. "You can't
always get what you want.

But if you try sometimes,
you just might find..."

"You get what
you need."

That's the one.

Don't leave, Joss.

Use the cottage as a base.
Travel the world.

Fill up that passport of yours.

Eat every single piece
of chocolate you can find

and... and read every single
book that you wanted to, twice.

You're an expert
in Romantic literature.

Don't you think it's time
you did something

perfectly romantic?

I have a life back in Boston.

An apartment, friends.

A professor once told me
that life is a risk.

You just have to embrace it.

Do you know how scary
that would actually be?

I know,

but you'll have
the best wingman.

♪

Okay.
(Daniel laughing)

♪

You sure about this?

No. (laughing)

I'm not,
but I've been banging my head

against the same rock wall
for years.

May as well try a new direction,
see how that goes for a bit.

You want to give me a ride back?

Direct or scenic?

- What do you think?
- Mm.

(laughing)

(crowd shouting)

You secured a luncheon
with Dylan Turner?

Well, the kids are so excited
he's reading,

I just wanted to make
the most of it.

I mean, between that
and the panel of writers

you pulled together,
you realize this festival

is going to market itself?

I'm just happy
to be a part of it.

Not as happy as I am.

Although I doubt
I'm the most excited one here.

♪

I know this is your noisiest hour,
but I was wondering

if you had the time
to take a walk with me.

♪

Always.
