-Hey.
-JAY: Hey, babe.

-I'm making shakshuka.
-Oh, smells good.

Oh, paprika?

You got to warn a guy.

Hey, you know that huge tree

at the edge of the property,
the really old one?

I heard the neighbors
are gonna cut it down.

What? But that's been there
for centuries.

Who cuts down a beautiful tree?

When I was a girl,
I would while away afternoons

in its glorious shade.

I was even married
under that tree.

You know what, cut it down.

We could protest.

In my day, we were

always protesting

to protect the environment.

Once, I took acid

to save the snow leopards.

Wait, are there
still snow leopards?

-Yeah.
-You're welcome.

Thor not understand.
Is just one tree.

So many more like it.

There's one there.

And there. And there.

He's gonna point out
every tree, isn't he?

Sam, you have to do something. Please.

Okay, I will go talk
to the neighbors,

see if there's some way
we can save the tree.

There's another
large one there.

-Oh, that's a telephone pole.
-It same!

Okay.

♪

TREVOR: Hey, Thor.

You like Flower, right?

Yes, but Flower not ready
for two-person commitment.

And Pete too cowardly
and selfish to be third.

Oh, sorry, big guy.

But that commitment stuff
is just an excuse.

It means she doesn't
like you enough.

Yet.

She's giving you
an opening

with this
environmentalism stuff.

What do you mean, "opening"?

Chicks like it when
you're into the stuff

that they're into.

Like, when I was alive,

there was this nail
polish brand that had

all these clever names
for different colors.

Like, Make Your Mauve

and Orange You Cuticle.

Anyway, I memorized
all of them.

And when I saw
some hottie at a bar,

I would correctly guess
which one she had on,

and boom, I was in.

You see what I'm saying?

You mean that
if Thor take interest

in thing Flower into,
like trees,

then Flower fall in love
with Thor?

That's what I'm
talking about. Yes!

Yes, Thor think
Trevor very wise man.

Thank you. Can you start
telling people that?

Because I say
smart things,

but people can't get past the
fact that I'm not wearing pants.

You are like Odin--

wisest god--
if Odin's butt cheeks

always visible
every time he bend over.

Okay. I'm out.

Hi! We're your neighbors.

I'm Sam, and this is
-my husband, Jay. -Hi.

Hi, nice to meet you.
I'm-I'm June and this is Ally.

And this is our arborist Ted.

-Hi there.
-Hello, Ted.

The June and Ally?

As in, Cover Crop Farms?

That's us.

They're, like, the biggest
organic farmers in the area.

[stammering]
I'm geeking out.

Sam, can we get
to the tree, please?

Anyway. The reason
we came to talk to you

is because
we really love this tree,

and we were hoping
to talk you into keeping it.

Yeah, we love the tree, too,
but Ted says

it probably won't live
that much longer,

unfortunately, so we're...

-we're cutting it down.
-FLOWER: Boo!

Although I support your
women-owned business,

but boo to
the tree thing!

Well, aren't there things
you could do to help the tree?

Listen, we just don't want it
to damage our work shed.

Tell them the tree has special
significance to the Lenape.

The thing is,
this tree actually has

special significance
to the native Lenape.

Really?
Well, why do you think that?

See those markings?
I made those, Sam.

For one thing, those markings
are definitely Lenape.

Really?

The marks represent
the 13 dialects

of the Lenape language.

Uh, yes, they represent
the 13 dialects

of the Lenape language.

How-how do you know that?

Uh, 'cause my best friend
is Lenape.

-Oh!
-What the hell, man?

So now Sass
is your best friend?[scoffs]

I mean, my good friend.

I have a lot of friends
who I like equally.

-Okay.
-Okay.

The point is, this tree
is just really important.

No one loves nature
and respects indigenous people

-more than we do.
-Mm-hmm.

But this tree
needs to come down.

And that's not us saying it.
That's Ted.

He gets paid, like, two grand
to make these calls.

So...

Rich and handsome.

If only he were dead.

THORFINN:
Oh, uh, hi there, Flower.

Oh, hey, Thor.

So, how about
the environment, huh?

-What about it?
-Just listing things

that I deeply care about,
like the environment.

-So you like Thor better now?
-What?

It's just that,
um, Thor like what you like,

and oftentimes that leads
to woman being happy.

Okay, well, you haven't
actually said anything

about the environment.

Like, what specifically
are you concerned about?

Um...

Thor like your nails. Yes.

and, uh, recognize color.

Orange You Cuticle.

I think that's blood

from when I tried
to fend off the bear.

Yes, well, it's working.

-Mm.
-Cool.

I'm gonna...

-walk into another room now.
-That's...

[grunts]

I'm so bummed about the tree.

Well, isn't there anything you
can do to change their minds?

In my day, if one wanted change,

one would put pen to parchment.

It was my letters
that inspired the public

to demand a second watering
trough outside the statehouse.

Hamilton wrote
51 Federalist Papers

and saved the Constitution.

Just to further
prove your point.

Thank you, Peter.

The ghosts are suggesting
that I write an op-ed

to put the pressure
on June and Ally.

Write your way out.
Like Hamilton.

Oh, come on.

Okay, I have a lot of ideas.

And it's gonna be
a really great op-ed,

but I'm gonna need
some time to write it.

Babe...

Which means somebody
has to make sure

they don't cut the tree down
in the meantime.

Absolutely not.

Hey, guys.
I'm so sorry about this

and I hope it doesn't affect
our friendship. Oh!

I can see your sunchokes
from up here.

They look great,
so congrats on those.

-So, how'd it go?
-Great. I pitched the op-ed

to The Ulster County Review
and they loved it.

They're publishing it
on their website tonight.

Babe, that's amazing.

-Thanks.
-Champagne.

Oh, I don't need any.

I do.
I was in a tree all day.

SASAPPIS:
The Ulster County Review.

So did you see anybody else
while you were there?

Any 500-year-old
female Lenape ghosts, perhaps?

Hmm. Could you be more specific?

Sam, just tell me.

Yes, I did see Shiki.

Oh, hey.
So funny running into you.

Really? I've been here
hundreds of years.

Had to think
there was a decent chance.

No, I mean because
I'm actually writing

an op-ed that
would interest you.

Just working on a pitch.
So nervous.

-She says hi.
-Oh. Nice.

I mean, that's cool,
uh, no big deal.

You know? Either way
would have been fine.

And I'm cool, cool, cool, cool,
cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

Get a hold
of yourself, man.

Sorry.

Oh, dear, two men hunched

over Samantha's
lap computer.

I know better than to look
at what's on that screen.

Relax, it's a bunch
of nature stuff.

Picture of a baby seal.

I don't care what you're
into, you deviants.

No, Trevor help Thor
look up stuff

about environment
to impress Flower.

We have cut forests,
dirty seabirds,

a river on fire.

[chuckles]
That one actually pretty cool.

It says here
the ocean heating up

is threatening marine life.

Cod lives in ocean.

And also herring lives in ocean.

And salmon. And haddock and...

Now he's gonna name
all the fishes, isn't he?

They are in danger
due to hot oceans.

Very bad!

[scoffs]
I'm confused.

Now you actually care
about the environment?

What began as mission
to win one woman's heart

has morphed into mission to save

the planet!

Now, if I wanted to look up...

"stable boys..."

is that in there?

Uh, Sam, why is Jay just
hanging out in the kitchen?

Yeah, who's watching
the tree?

Oh, don't worry, I have Isaac
over there acting as lookout.

If anybody comes
to do anything...

He'll scream silently
and invisibly at them.

He will come and tell us.

Babe, good news!

Your article is trending.

Well, I mean, locally.

In between "missing cow"

and "weatherman
with a secret family."

-Nice!
-Well, not for the cow's owner

or the weatherman's wife,
but sure, enjoy your moment.

I don't understand.
What does this mean, "trending"?

It means we're turning the
pressure up on June and Ally.

Now everybody will know

that they're trying to destroy
a piece of Lenape history.

Cool.

-Move him, please.
-Jay, move.

I have news from the front.
The op-ed worked.

Sam has rallied the public
who now march in protest.

Jay, people are protesting
at the tree.

We got to go check it out.

Wow. This is becoming
a big deal, huh?

Hell yeah, it is.

The power of the pen--
it's mightier than the sword.

Not if it's
a plus-two magic sword.

Those are pretty powerful.

-What?
-It's a D and D thing.

You don't deserve Jay.

Everything okay?

I would have expected you
to be a little more

excited, no?

Yeah. I mean, it's
good, you know?

-Save the Lenape tree.
-ALBERTA: Sass?

-What's going on?
-All right.

Um...

I may have exaggerated

the tree being significant
to the Lenape.

I mean, it's significant to me,

and I'm Lenape,
so in that sense...

-You lied?
-Yep, uh-huh.

So what is the significance
of the tree?

Um...

you promise you won't
make fun of me?

You have our word.

It's my Shiki tree.

So, when I was alive,
I would make a mark

every time we had an encounter.

"Encounter,"
like, times you did it?

No...

Made out?

Not exactly.

Uh, it's the times

that she...

said hi to me.

Oy gevalt.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Hi!

I think it's sweet.

I mean, sad and pathetic,
but also so sweet.

This is sick.

"Hi's"?
You don't mark down "hi's."

And this is why
I didn't want to share it.

You got to tell Sam
the truth, Sass.

Do I?
So some protesters showed up.

So what?
Maybe they'll save a tree.

Isn't that a good thing?

-That's true.
-Well, maybe, I guess.

So was "hi" like a more
sexual thing back then?

-And I'm done.
-TREVOR: Buddy, no!

What am I missing?

I want to be on your side!

MAN: And once you got all
that dirt up to the surface...

How long you watch TV?[both shushing]

Uses much electricity.

Bad for environment.

[screaming]

Hey!
We were watching that!

Dude! Not cool.

What not cool is
wasting energy.

Really, Thor?
This is getting tiresome.

You are becoming the party guest
who overindulges

in cocaine
and traps one in the corner,

going on and on
about Gilbert and Sullivan.

That was you.
I was there, as ghost.

Well, then allow me
to be your cautionary tale.

Dude, you need to relax.

Relax? Sort of like
how you relax on private jet,

spewing toxins into the air
on way to spring break?

That was legendary.

We went to a foam party
on South Padre Island.

And, you, worst of all.

Industrial Revolution
start of everything.

Thor read about
dark seductress,

buried deep
within the Earth.

Her name is...

coal.

We did get really into coal.

Both of you lived selfish lives,
endangered Earth.

You should be ashamed
of yourselves.

Dude, I hear you.
But have you seen a stewardess

on a private jet? We're talking
1 Oak bottle service level.

And not Wednesdays.

Weekend 1 Oak.

[grumbles]

[chanting]:

Protect Lenape culture!

It's so good
to be protesting again.

Flower, boundary.

Whoa.

Look at all these people.

Hey, uh, guys.

Hi. [chuckles]

I know this is a
bit much, but we all

just really care
about the tree.

We can tell.

PROTESTOR:
Support Sam, she's a hero!

Oh, come on, I don't
know about hero.

[chuckles] I mean, I was the one
who climbed up in the tree.

Don't see a lot of Jay signs.

[chanting continuing]
Hi. Hi.

My name is Bob.
I'm with

the Hudson Valley
Lenape Cultural Center.

Oh, hi.

You're the author of the op-ed?

I am. And honestly,

I was happy to do it.

Well, the thing is, I'm afraid

you might not have
all your facts straight.

[gasps]
Really?

BOB:
Well, as you note in your article, you said

these markings represent
the 13 dialects of the Lenape.

That's correct.

The Lenape language
only has two modern dialects.

It's possible that we might've
had more in the past,

but nowhere near 13.

I hate to quibble
with you, Bob,

but I do have it on
pretty good authority

that there were
13 dialects.

Right. And I'm telling you

that's not the case.

Sass, you got
to get in there.

She's about to back down.
It'll be fine.

It's cool that he knows
this stuff though, isn't it?

Look, I appreciate
that you come

from a place
of experience, but...

Uh, sorry, just to,
uh, just to clarify,

uh, so you're telling,
uh, Bob here,

who, uh-- just checking--

-is Lenape?
-That's right.

You're telling
that guy,

that he doesn't know
what he's talking about?

Well... [chuckles] I'm...

Hey, just a heads up,
this is starting

to look a little Karen-y.

-Sass!
-Okay, fine.

I know the optics
on this aren't great,

and I don't have an explanation
for how I know this,

but you have
to trust me.

So I made up all the stuff
about the 13 dialects.

When I say I want
to humbly apologize.

[protesters booing]

[chanting]:
Down with Woodstone!

Down with Karen!
Down with Woodstone!

[phone ringing]
Down with Karen...

Woodstone B and B,
are you canceling

for the reason
I think you are?

Totally get it.
Have a great day.

Down with Karen!
Down with...

Silver bird in sky,
killer of cod,

I curse thee to Niflheim!

Hey, Thor, could I talk
to you for a second?

[laughs] Yeah, just
yelling at silver bird.

Cool, cool.

So, listen,
I think it is so great

that you want to turn people
on to the environment,

but you can't just make

everyone feel bad
about themselves.

Why not?

Well, when we protested

the war in Vietnam, we didn't
just yell at people all day.

We went to music festivals

and did lots of drugs.
You see what I mean?

Thor not good at drugs.
When alive,

drink tea
of stinking henbane

and instead of having
rapturous visions,

Thor just get worried
no one like Thor.

I'm saying we had a movement,

which people
wanted to be a part of.

You can't just...

yell at people,
you have to inspire them.

Yes. Like when executing Danes
in countryside,

leave one alive
to tell tales of brutality.

You mean like that?

Okay, I'm gonna say yes,

'cause I don't want
to hear any more examples,

but I'm sure
you'll figure something out.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Figuring it out.
-All right.

So the protestors
are finally gone,

but not before I had
to profusely apologize

for being brazenly ignorant
about Lenape culture.

What the hell, Sasappis?
Why did you lie to me?

I'm sorry, Sam, but
it wasn't all a lie.

The tree is important.

It was there when I was alive,
and I did make those marks.

Okay,
so what do they really mean?

They represent the 13 times

that Shiki said "hi" to me.

What's going on?

The markings were every time

Shiki said "hi" to Sass.

Really?

Just "hi"?

Okay, I'm not proud of it.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought if you knew
what they actually meant,

you wouldn't think
they were important,

and you wouldn't help me
protect the tree.

It is my unfortunate
duty to inform you...

Tree dead!

Yes, I was trying
to be more delicate,

but, yes, tree dead.

[sighs]
Wow, it's really gone.

So were "hi's" more
significant back then?

Shh.

Thor been here
a thousand years.

Many things that were
once here, plentiful,

now gone.

Not blaming Sam even
though she use blow dryer

entire hour every day.

You're right, Thor.

It's all gone.

You know, I don't think
it was just about

the markings that I made
on that tree. It's that...

everything's gone.

My people were pushed out.

I watched all of it happen.

And that tree was the last thing
left from when I was alive.

And now it's gone, too.

I wish there was something
we could do.

Need to inspire.

What's that?

Thor think
Thor have idea.

It's just hard to have much hope

when it's presented like that.

So, what is this?

What do y'all want to do?

Sass, oldest friend.

We can't bring back
what you've lost.

But from the past
is born the future.

These are seeds from the tree.

June and Ally gave them to us.

So, from your tree

will blossom
many new trees.

And your tree of friendship

with Shiki will
now be whole area

of friendship.

Sort of a friend zone
is what you're saying?

Yes, friend zone.[car approaches, stops]

Well put.

Oh, God.

No better place to be.[car doors open, close]

Samantha, a man approaches.

Oh, hey, it's Bob.

-Hey, Bob.
-We invited Bob over

to do a land acknowledgement.

It's a way
that we can honor the Lenape,

who lived right here
on this land.

It's just
a small gesture

so that we can keep
their presence alive here.

Who are you guys
explaining this to?

Oh, uh, each other.

-Yep.
-We like to explain things to each other.

[laughs]
God love these dummies.

Okay, well, uh,

I kind of have a lunch thing
I got to get to.

Right, sorry. Go ahead.

That's the thing, a-a land
acknowledgment isn't something

for me to do.
It's something for you to do.

I already know
about our history.

Bob rocks.

It's up to you,
who now want to live

and work on this land,
to honor and acknowledge

that sometimes difficult history.

Yeah, that makes
a lot of sense.

I'll give it a shot.

As we build our lives
and our business here,

we want to acknowledge
that this is

the ancestral land
of the Lenape.

They have taken care
of this land for generations,

and it is an honor to

continue that tradition.

[speaks Lenape]
Thank you, Sam.

If you'd like, I could do

a traditional welcome,
in-in Lenape.

Yeah, we'd love that.

[speaking Lenape]

BOTH:
We are glad because you people come

to Lenapehoking.

Live well while you are here.

Thank you.

That was beautiful, Bob.

-It's been a pleasure, yeah.
-Thank you.

We will watch
these trees grow...

together,
my oldest friend.

Yep, we're not going anywhere.

[grunts]
Thanks, bud.

Yeah.

Friend zone!

ALL [chanting]:
-Friend zone! Friend zone! -Stop!

-Friend zone! Friend zone!
-Stop! Okay!

Friend zone... Okay...

Thor.

I thought it was really cool,

what you did
with Sass' Friend Zone.

[groans]
That name's sticking, isn't it?

You did something
for the environment,

but you also did it
in a way that inspired people.

I'm impressed.

It was nothing.

Me, too, Thor,
especially because it won't even

affect you. It's Jay
and my kids and their kids

that are gonna have to deal with
all this climate change stuff.

Wait, are you pregnant?
Did Jay's seed find purchase?

Am I about to be a great-great-
great-great-great-aunt?

No. I just meant
because Thor's a ghost,

so his life isn't gonna change

because of drought
or rising sea levels.

In a way, I'd almost think
you'd want climate change

to happen faster. The sooner
the Livings kill themselves,

the sooner the Earth
goes back to normal.

Wait, this is so true.

This is not
Thor's problem at all.

Samantha, Thor change mind.

Climate change great thing.
Keep up good work.

Get the Livings
to die faster

to usher in glorious new era!

-Oh, no, no.
-Yes!

[laughing]

-He's blowing it, isn't he?
-Yeah.

But I probably
won't remember it,

so he's still got a chance.
