[ Crows caw ]

[ Breathing deeply ]

I think she misses her.

We all do, Sue.

I can't believe
I'm the last one

who saw Aunt Edie alive.

I was just here reading her
the crime report

from the "Orson Herald,"
and she seemed fine.

She lit a cigarette
with another cigarette

and then said,
"Thanks for stopping by, Axl."

- Aw.
- Aw.

I remember when I was little

and she'd have
her holiday parties,

and I would go around
to all the adults

with my little
toy drink cartons,

and I would say, "Do you want
chocolate milk or orange juice?",

and they'd all say,
"Oh, how nice",

and I'd get to Aunt Edie

and she'd say, "Shut up
and make me a real drink."

Aw.

Okay, enough reminiscing.

Today's not
about getting emotional.

It's about finding paperwork
and cleaning up.

Okay, so we're looking for
a birth certificate, a will,

- a napkin, any--
- I think I found it.

[ Sighs ] No,
it's another portable bar.

What's this?

Oh, it's a picture
of the Leilani Motor Lodge

in South Dakota.

It's where Aunt Edie
honeymooned.

What, was North Dakota closed?

No, after she married
her first husband Carl,

they lived in South Dakota,
and Aunt Edie always said

she wanted to get
back to the Leilani,

but now she never will.

Aw.

[ Big band playing
slow-tempo jazz ]

This was
Aunt Edie's favorite song.

- Aw.
- Aw.

All right, everyone,
stop remembering things.

We're looking
for important papers.

- Like this?
- Ooh!

Okay, well, we got
a birth certificate.

Social Security card.

Coupon from Elaine Powers.

Oh, this is some kind
of official statement

saying she made a payment
on a burial plot.

Aw, she wants to be buried
next to Carl.

Where's Carl?

South Dakota.

[ Record needle scratches ]

Sorry.

Can you hand me that briefcase?

Oh, it's a portable bar.

I know.

[ Train horn blows,
wheels chugging ]

I still don't know why
we didn't just drive.

Because you do for family.

This is our final show
of respect.

We're not just gonna
ship her off like luggage.

So where is she now?

She's resting comfortably
in cargo.

Do we have any details about
the cause of Aunt Edie's death?

Just one. She was 96.

Interesting. Has anyone
questioned Helen Riley?

She was the perennial runner-up
to Aunt Edie

in the church pie contest.

No one hated Aunt Edie, Brick.

She was a great lady,

and we were lucky to have her
for as long as we did.

Sue:
Well, I loved Aunt Edie.

But this could not
have happened at a worse time.

I carved out the whole weekend

to finish my common app
for college.

Axl: Would you stop thinking
about yourself, Sue?

Aunt Edie's gone forever,

and family's the most important
thing right now.

Wow. He seems really broken up.

Almost too broken up.

[ Train horn blows,
wheels chugging ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Are you okay?

No, Brick, I'm not.
I killed Aunt Edie.

I knew it! No one just
drops dead at 96.

No... [ Sighs ] I didn't really kill her.

Okay. Ugh. Look.
Here's the thing.

[ Sniffles ]
Ever since high school,

whenever I had a test
I wasn't ready for,

or a paper due I didn't finish,

I kinda used Aunt Edie
to get out of it.

Anyway, we just found out
last night,

so I think I'm gonna need
a little more time

on my philosophy paper.

Of course.
And just remember, Axl,

it was your aunt's shell
she left on Earth.

It was her shell.
So, like, three extra weeks?

Can't you see how guilty
I feel about this?!

If my hair wasn't such
a perfect length,

I could barely look at myself
in the mirror.

I used my aunt's life

as a cheap excuse
to get out of schoolwork,

and by saying it so many times,
I'm the reason she died.

I killed her, Brick.
I killed my aunt!

Ugh. I am so hungry.
I can't concentrate.

Are we ever gonna eat?

I'm not paying 8 bucks
for a Coke and an Oh Henry!

Sue, how's your essay coming?

Okay. I don't wanna get ahead
of myself,

but I think so far,
really great.

You wanna hear some of it?

- Of course.
- That's okay.

Okay. [ Clears throat ]

"My dad told me

to wait to see what happens
in life and then label it.

But I say, no, I named this
'The Year Of Sue,'

and since then,
great things have happened."

I think colleges are really
gonna respond to this,

because more than anything,

they want
the shooting for the stars type.

[ Gasps ] New title--

"Shooting For The Stars."

So did we check the coffin
to make sure

- Aunt Edie's in there?
- Brick, listen to me.

She just got old and died,
but it's okay.

She had a great ride. She met
a lot of wonderful people.

She saw a lot
of wonderful places.

She really did everything
she wanted to in life.

Actually, she did it
with about 20 years to spare.

You're right.

Well, what have I done
in my life?

I haven't done anything.

I've just laid around
reading books

about other people
doing things.

If Aunt Edie's taught me
anything,

it's that life is waiting.
Mom, take my book.

From now on,
Brick Heck's gonna step

outside his comfort zone
and start living.

And what better place
than on a train?

Frankie: So Mike and I crunched
the numbers and figured

we could spring for a plate
of chicken fingers.

Excuse me. I don't think you
gave us enough chicken fingers.

You asked for one order.

Yeah, but shouldn't there
be at least five?

I mean, there's five fingers.
You know, if you count

the thumb as a finger,
which most people do.

And if you're talking
actual chicken fingers,

I think they have
at least seven.

[ Under breath ] Lot of attitude
for a train bartender.

Oh.

Oh, my God.
Are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.
- Are you sure?

You fell pretty hard there.

I know. I fall.

I-I fall all the time.
It's stupid. I know.

Here. Why don't you sit down
for a second?

Oh, thanks. That's a good idea.

Oh, you're being so helpful.
I really appreciate it.

Oh, no, it's nothing.

[ Whispers ] Take care.

[ Mouths words ]

What are you doing?

I'll tell you what I'm doing.
I'm living life.

- [ Groans ]
- Look at all the dead trees and brown grass.

I can't believe I've been
missing all of this. Mm.

Oh, no. No, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no.

- This can't be happening.
- What?

My phone! It was working
just a minute ago,

and now it's completely
out of juice.

[ Groans ] Trapped on
a 20-hour train ride

to South Dakota with no phone
and just my family to talk to.

[ Gasps ] It's Aunt Edie.
She's getting her revenge.

I've killed her so many times.

Now she's killed my phone.

You don't need a screen
to look at, Axl.

You're looking
at the best screen ever--

- Iowa in the winter.
- [ Groans ]

Soak it in, my friend.
Soak it in.

It's just embarrassing, Mike.

It's embarrassing that I fell,

and my husband wasn't
the one to pick me up.

Look, I was on my way
to help you.

The guy just beat me to it.

[ Scoffs ] Okay.

What does that mean?

It means, apparently,
it's more important

for you to get ketchup than
to come and help your wife.

Yeah, I saw.

I was in the middle of pumping.

There's a rhythm
to those dispensers.

It goes pump, pump, pump.
[ Imitates squirt ]

And then a reset.
You gotta pump all the way

through to the reset,
or you wreck your rhythm.

Whatever, Mike.

The important thing
is you got your ketchup.

I'm just happy there was
one gentleman on the train.

Look, you fell, and I didn't
help you. I'm sorry.

What else can I do?

I'm sorry to bother you.
I saw you fall earlier,

and it looked like you might
have twisted your ankle,

so I brought you an ice pack.

Thank you so much.

Yeah. Thanks!

[ Plastic rustles ]

[ Train horn blows,
wheels chugging ]

Look, I really am sorry.

[ Scoffs ] You know what?
It's fine.

You're just not a nurturer.

But that's okay.
I've made my peace with it.

What are you talking about?
I... nurture.

[ Sighs ] You realize
that when I found out

Aunt Edie had died,
you didn't even hug me?

- Sure, I did.
- No, you didn't.

You patted me. It was a pat.
Pat, pat, pat.

- You're remembering it wrong.
- No, I'm not.

They told me Aunt Edie
had died.

I hung up the phone.
You said...

[ Imitates Mike ] "Well,
we knew that call was coming."

[ Normal voice ]
Then you patted me

like a golden retriever
and you went and watched TV.

You've never been a hugger,
Mike.

When the kids were younger,
they hugged me all the time,

so I didn't really notice,
but now it's very clear.

I'm trapped
in a hugless marriage.

You wanna try
a wordless marriage?

[ Scoffs ]

Fine. Prove me wrong.
Nurture me.

Ugh.

Look me in the eyes
for more than two seconds

and tell me that you love me.

Right now in front of people?

Hug me, then.
No, not even a hug.

Just-- just put your arm
around me and comfort me.

[ Scoffs ]
Is there a problem?

No. It's that
the angle's weird.

You weren't worried about
weird angles the other night.

Here I am, Mike.

Just nurture me as you see fit.

That's a pat.

Hey.

Hey.

Yeah.

I'm going to visit my uncle.
He's a rancher.

Rancher. Cool.

He's got
these awesome dirt bikes

that I pop wheelies on.

Dirt bikes. Cool.

[ Mouth full ] Beef jerky?

Beef jerky. Cool.

Stop patting me. It's over.

I made a friend.

What? Where?

Here. He's this really cool guy
named Travis, and he likes me.

[ Gasps ] Mike, wake up.
Somebody likes Brick.

What? Who?

It turns out I'm cool
on trains.

That's great, Brick.

So what do you and Travis
talk about?

Nothing.

I figured out
all I have to do is repeat

what the other person says
and then add the word "cool."

All these years I've been
repeating myself

when I should've been
repeating other people.

[ Whispers ]
Repeating other people.

Travis reminded me to have
breakfast

with him when the dining car
opens. Can I go?

If he's buying, order extra
and bring some back.

Bring some back. Cool.
Magic, am I right?

[ Groans softly ]

[ Train horn blows,
wheels chugging ]

Axl!

What? Ow! Oh.
Come on, Aunt Edie.

Hmm! I'm finally done.

Here. Listen to the last line
of my essay.

It's really, really good.

"And in conclusion, that is why

I'll spend the rest of my life
shooting at the cars and..."

"Shooting at the cars"?
Oh, pfft. Oh, God. I am tired.

- It's a good thing I'm proofreading this.
- [ Typing ]

[ Brakes squeal, clank ]

[ Computer chimes ]

[ Beep ]

Wait a minute.
What just happened?

Where did it go?

"Congratulations.
Your application has been sent."

[ Gasps ] No, no, no, no,
I accidentally hit "Send"!

Axl: - Classic. [ Laughs ]
- [ Sue gasps ]

No, no, no, no, no!
My life is over!

- Hey, what's wrong?
- What'd you do, Axl?

[ Gasps ] I was working
on my essay,

and it was all done,

and I wanted to write
"Shooting for the stars,"

but instead I wrote
"Shooting at the cars,"

so I tried to hit "Delete,"
and then the train lurched

and I hit "Send" instead,

and now I'm never
gonna go to college!

You got this.

Honey, can't you just tell
the school

you accidentally sent it?

It's not just one school.
It's the common app.

This went to every school
I applied to.

Well, just relax. I'm sure
there's something we can do.

What can we do?
Can we turn off the internet?

Is there a button
for when the train lurches

and you accidentally
hit "Send"?

Is there a computer expert
on this train

who specializes
in college applications?!

I'm more thirsty than hungry.

- More thirsty. Cool.
- [ Microwave beeps ]

- Here's what we're gonna do.
- [ Microwave door opens ]

You're gonna distract
the bartender,

then I'm gonna steal some beer.

- Got it?
- Steal a beer.

[ Microwave door closes ]

Cool.
[ Chuckles nervously ]

- [ Bell clanging in distance ]
- Axl, Axl. [ Sighs ]

- Ow. Ow. - You know more
about computer stuff than I do.

Can you please just see
if there's any way

you can get my essay back?

Well...
[ Scoffs and trills lips ]

I don't know, Sue.
I think it's done.

I mean, look,
it sent you a receipt

of the schools you applied to.

- [ Whimpers ]
- Uh... Indiana, Purdue, Ball State.

East Indiana St--
[ Gasps ]

No. No, Sue.

No!

[ Voice echoes ]

It's true, Axl.
I did apply to your school,

but I'm sorry. I just love
East Indiana so much.

- [ Groans ]
- I love the campus. I love the rotunda.

They have a really good
psychology department.

Ow! It's like acid in my ears!

See? I knew we should have told
him right when I told you guys.

Oh, my God.
You knew about this?

You two supposed adults
let this happen?

All right, listen,
when Sue told us,

dad and I called
a family meeting.

We decided there was
no sense in telling you the news

unless she got accepted.

You had a family meeting
without me?!

[ Sighs ] All right.

I know this is coming
out of the blue,

but if you really think
about it,

is this honestly
that big a deal?

It's a huge deal!
College is supposed to be

the best four years of my life,

and now two of those years
are gonna be with Sue.

I'll be at a party
being awesome,

and in walks Sue with
her big tubey water head.

This is
the worst possible thing

that could ever happen
to a person!

I think your Aunt Edie
might disagree with that.

Okay, stop freaking out, Axl.

I'm probably not even
gonna get in.

They think I wanna shoot
at cars.

Oh, no. They're gonna want
another Heck.

I'm like royalty up there.

Well, guess what?
She may be going there,

but I'm not.
I'm getting off this train

and starting my new life in...

Bear's Neck, South Dakota!

That's where I'll be
living out my life.

I am outta here!
Thanks for 20 crappy years!

Excuse me?
My name is Brick.

Uh... Steen... Johnson.

I'm in the market
for some chips today.

Knock yourself out.

[ Chuckles nervously ]

Actually, I've decided not
to do this.

I'm not a risk-taking person,
you know, chip-wise,

and Mesquite--

you never really know
how that's gonna go down.

[ Crash ]

Axl!

Come on, Axl. You're not gonna
live in Bear's Neck.

This place is an armpit!

[ Chuckles ] I'm sure
it's lovely for you folks.

Man: - All aboard!
- [ Bell clanging ]

Axl!

Axl!

- [ Horn blows ]
- [ Shouts inaudibly ]

Crap!

Can I sit next to you?

Yeah, sure. Why?

No reason. I just wanna
stay close to you

during this difficult time
with Aunt Edie.

Also, if this friend of mine
shows up

and wants to drag me away,
can you protect me?

He's a little bigger than you.

Oh, and he might be drunk.

Not now, Brick.

I'm researching jobs that don't
require a college degree

since I won't be getting one.

You know, Sue, your typo really
isn't that big of a deal.

Did you know in the play
"Julius Caesar,"

Shakespeare wrote a line
about a clock striking three,

even though clocks didn't even
exist in Ancient Rome?

- Really? - Yeah, and he's
the greatest writer of all time.

You know, as long as the spirit

of what you wanna say
comes through,

I don't think colleges will care
about one little mistake.

[ Door opens ]

Trust me, Sue. If I've learned
anything from Aunt Edie,

- it's that you can't live your life in fear.
- [ Door closes ]

[ Gasps ]

Man over PA:
Next stop-- Yankton.

Yankton is the next stop.

[ Sighs ]

I suppose you're here
to tell me all the reasons

it's not gonna be so bad
having Sue go to my college.

Nope. Actually, that's got
nothing to do with you.

Uh, my dorky sister
at my college?

I think it has everything
to do with me.

Sue doesn't have to live
her life

based on what you want.

So what are you saying?

I'm just supposed to roll over
and be happy about this?

I'm saying if Sue gets
into East Indiana

and she wants to go there,
she's going there.

How you feel about it
is up to you.

If it makes you feel any better...
[ Sighs ]

by the time she gets there,
you'll be old enough to drink.

Okay, so the funeral home
came and got Aunt Edie,

so we should get to
the hotel and settle in.

It's gonna be a rough day
tomorrow.

Hold it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on.

We gotta wait for your mom
to get off the train.

- Can't she walk? - We gotta get outta here.
- I'm freezing.

Trust me, this wouldn't be
a good day

for me not to wait for your mom.

[ Sighs ]

[ Brakes squeal ]

There they are.
That's them.

[ Dog panting ]

- What the hell?
- Thanks so much!

Oh! Oh! I'm here. I'm okay.
I'm okay.

So sorry if I worried you guys,

but when the train
left without me,

I couldn't get a signal,

and there was nobody
at the train station,

and the office with the phone
in it was locked.

So I just started walking.

I mean, I cried
a little bit first,

but all I could think was,

I am gonna freeze to death
out here,

and my husband and my kids
are trying to call me,

and they can't reach me,
and they're just gonna

hold out hope
until some soybean farmer

finds my partially thawed corpse
in the spring.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Train horn
blowing in distance ]

Oh... my... God.

You didn't even notice
I was gone, did you?!

- What?
- We were so worried.

- I didn't...
- Of course we did.

Aw!

Get your patty hands off me!

[ Door squeaks ]

Whew.
[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

This is the Leilani?

[ Vacuum whirring ]

I thought Aunt Edie said
it was a slice of paradise.

It's a slice of something.

Maybe it's a good thing

Aunt Edie never saw it
like this.

Frankie: But the funny thing
was the darker it got,

the more magical the Leilani
became.

[ Slow-tempo Polynesian music playing ]

[ Sighs ] Here.

It's the fruitest, girliest
drink I could find.

Oh, thanks.

You owe me $2.50,
and by the way,

if you do decide you want
to go to my school...

[ Inhales deeply ]
I'd be okay with it.

[ Gasps ] Really?
Oh, that is so nice, Axl.

Yeah, not doing it for you.

It's my final karmic payment.

The way I see it, I gotta
be even with Aunt Edie now

'cause... you going to my school

is the worst possible thing
that could ever happen to me.

Come on.
I bet if I end up there,

we'll definitely have
some good times.

- Nope, not even one.
- Not one?

- No.
- Not even one?

- Not even one--
- What's with the book?

- Thought you were living life.
- Yeah, it's not for me.

I decided there's two types
of people in the world--

people who are meant to live
their life to the fullest

and people who are meant
to read about those people.

I'm the latter.

So... you just drive
straight up Route 30,

and you'll see our sign that
says "Bushman Funeral Home."

It's right across
from the turkey farm.

Trust me,
you'll... smell it.

[ Sighs ] Now should I get there
a couple hours early

to fill out the paperwork?

Uh, actually, your husband
already took care of that.

- I spoke to him a few days ago.
- [ Papers rustling ]

Oh. Great. Uh, but there's
still a bunch

of permits and forms
I need to fill out

'cause we brought the body
across state lines.

Nope. All taken care of.

Your husband filled out
everything and faxed it to me

from his office in Indiana.

Oh. Okay.

Well, I guess I'll just
write you a check, then.

You're all paid in full.

Your husband split it
between five credit cards.

You don't have to worry
about anything.

All you have to do is show up.

[ Briefcase latches click ]

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[ Exhales ]
What's that for?

Everything.

Frankie: You know, Mike may not be a nurturer
in the typical sense,

but he picks me up in ways
I don't even know about.

And that night he picked me up
three more times

on the way to the room.
I picked him up once.

Yeah. We partied hard
Aunt Edie-style.

Hey, she lived 'till 96,
can't be that bad for you.
