In his infinite wisdom, the Lord has summoned Corrine

to join him and her loving parents

in the kingdom of heaven.

Loving wife of Troy, loyal friend to all who knew her.

She is now amongst the angels.

Sitting at his side.

Amen.

Amen.

Your support means so much in this time

of grief and sorrow.

Joyce and Troy invite you to the house

for further reflection and a little nosh.

Oh.

You are so strong.

Just like at your father's service.

You didn't cry then, either.

I was two.

Children are keenly aware of death.

You were my own little John-John Kennedy.

What is she doing here?

Who?

Your aunt.

Troy, please.

She'll ruin everything.

How do you ruin a funeral?

Wasn't sure whether or not you were coming.

Of course.

I loved that girl.

Just didn't want to waste such a beautiful day

listening to a bunch of medieval mumbo-jumbo.

Actually you know, the service was pretty nice.

Oh, please.

The last time you two were in church

was the day you got married,

and you only did that to appease Morticia.

Hilda.

What are you doing?

I'm planting a testimonial.

It's a cactus.

They were all out of eternal flames.

Troy.

I'm very overwhelmed right now.

I-I will see you inside in a minute. Let me ...

When isn't she very overwhelmed?

Come on inside.

When you're finished.

Just remember, Troy.

Peace I leave with you.

Let not your heart be troubled.

So said John.

John who?

Uh, Bible John.

Right, yeah.

- He was cool. - Right.

So, uh, how you doing?

I'm okay.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Yeah.

So listen, I-I was thinking,

we should take a trip.

Maybe Vegas.

We've been talking about going since college-

I don't know, man.

I need to work.

Oh come on, man.

Just for the weekend.

It's good to take a trip after a loss.

So what are you supposed to do after a win?

So this is dreary.

Anybody have a good story?

Story about what?

We're supposed to be celebrating Corrine, aren't we?

Hello.

Everybody, hello.

Hi.

I'd like to say some stuff about Corrine.

About a year ago, she came out for a visit,

and I took her out to my clinic on the reservation,

and there was this little girl there, Olivia,

who had terrible stomach cramps.

And she was so shy that I couldn't,

I couldn't, you know, get her to explain to me

really what was going on.

I couldn't get a sense of it.

So Corrine sat with her, and suddenly

I hear this gigantic burp.

Corrine.

And then she burped again.

And then Olivia burped.

And then they were going back and forth

like a couple of sailors.

And problem solved.

I mean, if you've got a belly full of gas,

it's gotta go somewhere, right?

Yeah.

I'll never forget it.

I mean, Corrine was so special.

Excuse me.

I've been trying to for years.

Troy.

You remember the Tolivers.

Certainly.

We met at the viewing.

Barbaric ritual.

I thought she never looked more lovely.

Of course she did, when she was alive.

Hilda!

When you are in my house,

you will treat the dead with proper respect.

Mom.

You know, I never met anyone

who was so happy being so miserable.

Walk me out, hmm?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Just wait a second.

I thought the viewing was nice.

You know, you really, uh,

should get away from all the sanctimonious bullshit.

Give yourself some room to breathe.

My desert's beautiful this time of year.

I'll think about it.

Can't ask for more than that.

Nope.

She wanted me to give this to you.

Hey.

Uh, Troy?

Troy.

Oh, Mr. Hutchison.

Hi.

Well, I was just wondering how you were, uh,

feeling.

Oh, thank you sir.

I'm gonna be okay.

Maybe you would like to take a few days off,

you know, to, uh, to rest.

No really, sir, I'm okay.

Actually, I-I feel really good

just, you know, being back at work.

There's nothing like good hard work

to take a man's mind off his troubles.

So, uh, how is the Boyle project coming along?

Oh, well, sir.

Yeah.

Very, very well.

Well, it's crunch time on that one.

We present in a week, so, uh, uh.

All right, so where we going to lunch?

Um, you're going to lunch.

I'm staying here.

Come on, sushi place down the street.

I'll buy the sake.

No man, I'm not hungry.

Thank you.

You're gonna make me beg, aren't you?

No.

All right, fine. Look, there's a cute waitress there.

I can't do it by myself. You know how I get.

Well, I-I think you're probably gonna be

okay by yourself, but I got, like, a week on this thing,

and I don't know-

What, you're not gonna eat for a week?

- Not what I said. - Come on, let's go.

Didn't say I wasn't gonna eat for a week.

- I'm just- - Come on!

I'm not feeling hungry. Look, Willy, I said no, okay?

I said no.

I'm gonna ...

All right, Mexican.

There's a cute waitress-

Can you just give me a break on this one?

I'm-I'm not hungry, I got work to do,

I don't, I'm ...

All right.

- I don't eat Mexican. - Okay.

Fine.

Hey honey, I'm home.

I hope you're hungry,

because I am in the mood to cook,

and no you can't help.

I'm gonna make that salmon thing

we had at that restaurant

near that place where we almost bought the puppy.

You know, I never told you this,

but I almost went back the next day

and bought it anyway.

I know they trash the house and pee on everything,

but it'd be good practice for when we decide to have,

hey.

Why so glum?

We will have none of that in my house.

Besides, whatever it is,

it's nothing that can't be fixed

by a long, hot bath with your favorite wife.

I'll wash your front.

My love.

Right now you're sleeping beside me

in a tortuous hospital chair

drooling adorably down your shirt.

Since you insist on denying the inevitable,

I decided to write this for you for after I'm gone.

I hate to say I told you so, but.

First, you need to know how happy I was with you.

You made me feel safe and loved and special and invincible.

And that thing you did with marmalade wasn't so bad, either.

You were my love at first sight,

and I will love you forever.

my last request, as it were.

Go out to Hilda's and build her a porch.

I know it sounds weird, but I promised her

we'd do it a long time ago, and we never did.

Besides, you two have a lot more in common

than you realize, especially now.

Who knows, maybe you'll even figure out

how to uncross the stars.

I never could.

I love you for always and ever.

Corrine.

- Oh, I'm sorry. - Excuse me.

- No, yeah. - Thank you.

Top her off?

- Hey. - Hi.

Hi, I'm sorry. I tried calling you a couple times,

but you don't have a machine, so I couldn't-

Oh yeah, usually if it's important,

they call back, or they just show up.

- Where's your stuff? - It's all in the car.

You know, I'll get it later.

You know what, I thought about what you said,

about getting away and everything.

Oh, stop shoveling.

It was Corrine's letter.

Don't worry, I-I don't take things as personally

as most people.

Did you read the letter?

She wrote it to you.

This is the guest room,

and, uh, clean towels in the closet.

Oh I might.

Excuse me.

You know where the pool is?

Excuse me?

Huh?

Um.

Do you know where the pool is?

I'm not deaf, son.

I just wasn't paying any attention.

I'm sorry man, I-

Better to keep your mouth shut

and look stupid than open it and remove all doubt.

Okay.

I'm supposed to meet my aunt at the pool.

Who's your aunt?

Hilda Limberlost.

Robert Walden.

Call me Bobby.

I'm Troy Harper.

The nephew?

Yeah, I came out here to build my aunt a porch.

Corrine come with you?

I met her the last time she was out here.

Sharp girl.

I always wanted to meet the guy she picked.

She died.

I'm truly sorry to hear that.

Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry, where'd you say the,

the pool was?

I didn't.

Oh, it's up the street to the right.

Yeah, they're uh, doing their morning water works thing.

Thank you.

Okay now do jumping jacks!

Altogether!

Yeah!

You can do it!

Okay, let's do the resistance.

Forward, and back.

Do you feel it?

Yes!

The triceps, yeah.

- Forward, and back. - Back!

Hey Hilda, this him?

Hey everybody, this is my nephew, Troy.

Hi Troy!

Oh, he's so handsome.

Even more than his pictures.

So what are you doing?

Water aerobics.

It keeps the muscles toned.

And it's good for the digestion, too.

Come on in.

Oh, Norma.

He doesn't wanna get in a pool

with a bunch of old ladies.

How do you know?

Maybe that's his thing.

I don't have a suit.

Skinny dip!

I will if you will.

Norma!

Well it isn't like it's something

that every one of us hasn't seen.

Except maybe you.

Perhaps another time.

Oh, we're here every morning!

Hilda, I just came to tell you

I'm gonna get started on the porch.

What porch?

You don't remember?

My wife promised you that she was

gonna build you a porch.

Oh, that'd be nice.

Okay, see you later.

Okay girls!

Bye!

- See you later! - Okay!

Bye.

Okay, so forward, and back.

That's good!

Don't have a straight elbow.

Yeah, can you feel the resistance?

Doesn't that feel good?

- No. - Yes it does!

Whoa, whoa.

Little unwieldy, huh?

Yeah.

Supplies for the deck?

Yeah, the porch.

Yeah.

Hey, uh, hang on a second, would you?

Man, hardware stores, huh?

You gonna be okay here?

You know, I remember when I was a kid,

the hardware store?

I mean, it was this magical place

your dad took you to, you know?

It was kinda like the ballpark.

You spend hours and hours in there

just learning every tool under God's green earth.

This you?

Yeah.

Now you spend hours in there,

just trying to find somebody who can help you.

And you finally find a live one,

they don't know the difference between an Allen wrench

and Allen frickin' Ginsburg.

Whoa!

That woulda hurt, dude.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

You wanna grab it in the center,

use your hip for leverage,

and then just swing, baby.

I don't know if you realize this,

but the porch is a pretty big project.

I'd be glad to help you out.

I'm fine.

Oh well.

Suit yourself.

You know it's a shame, really.

A person's death is more the survivor's affair

than their own.

Well, I got succulents to overfeed.

Hey Troy, just remember.

It takes a big man to cry.

And an even bigger one to laugh at him.

Hey.

Corrine took one of those home with her.

Had a hell of a time getting it in the car.

Yeah, I had a hell of a time getting it in the house.

- Oh here. - Thank you.

So how you doing?

Well, um, I think I'm gonna be finished

digging the footings and everything-

No, that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm fine.

Fine?

Yeah.

Well if it ever comes up,

I'm-I'm pretty good at listening.

Okay.

I better go get changed.

Girls are coming over for bingo tonight.

Relax, you don't have to come.

Looks like the cat had another busy day.

That's Juvy.

Juventus, for the Roman goddess of youth.

You must've had her a long time.

Don't bury her yet.

Put that feline within 10 feet of a lizard,

she'll make you a belt and a handbag

before you can say Christmas.

I didn't know you had a tattoo.

Yeah, I got it a long time ago.

Thought it was cool.

Turns out it was dumb.

Hey did you see the, um, the sunflower

at the front door this morning?

Oh yeah.

I called the shop.

They delivered it by mistake.

Some of the girls are allergic.

Hello, hello!

Hello!

Troy, meet the poster girls of Happy Valley.

Tina Kasawa and Agnes Clearborne Delta Mercer.

Your auntie just likes to hear herself talk.

You call me Lulu.

This is for you.

Oh.

We signed it, so when we're big time models,

you can sell it for a lot of money.

When I moved here, the broker said

this was a culturally diverse community.

Turns out Tina and I are as diverse as it gets.

So they use us in all the brochures.

We're bait.

Hello everyone!

Sorry we're late.

Where's the boy?

This is Norma Aganad and Phyllis Watt.

Now, you are Russian before you go to the bathroom.

You are American when you come out of the bathroom.

What are you when you're in the bathroom?

European!

Oh, let me look at you!

You are so handsome.

I tell you, if you were just a few years younger,

we could leave these old farts

and go paint the town!

Norma.

This is Happy Valley.

There's nothing to paint.

Oh!

- Phyllis! - What?

Your hearing aids!

Fix 'em!

What?

Pardon me.

Oh, sorry.

Can you believe this?

That sound could kill mice,

but she can't even hear it.

If you wouldn't call attention to it,

no one would even notice.

Then why is everybody's ears bleeding?

Aw, that sounds goes off in the middle of the night.

It scares the pee out of me.

I'm gonna have to start wearing those adult diapers.

Norma.

I take it that you two live together.

- Oh yeah. - Yeah.

We have to.

I can't see worth a damn.

She can't hear.

But together, we have all the senses covered.

Yeah.

Except maybe common.

Hilda, you could at least invite another man

so Troy wouldn't feel so outnumbered.

I know one who'd gladly come.

Troy's not coming with us tonight.

No, I got a big project for work.

But bingo's fun!

And you can win all sorts of great prizes.

Why just last week, Norma won a food dehydrator.

I was going for the dildo.

Norma!

It was a personal massager.

According to you.

While he's with us, he doesn't have to do

anything he doesn't wanna do.

Why don't you come to dinner with us

tomorrow night at the Cow House?

The, yeah, sure.

That sounds great.

Oh, you'll love it!

Best Mexican food south of Vancouver!

And the best music.

I hope you like to dance as much as your wife did.

God rest her.

Oh, we took her when she was here.

She made the mistake of dancing with some old man.

Every old geezer in the joint

had her out on the floor.

It's true!

- It's true! - They still talk about it!

- Bingo, anyone? - Oh, Mildred!

Well, what's with that getup?

Well, I think I haven't been winning

because I haven't been taking game seriously enough.

These are for you.

I baked homemades this morning,

but, uh, they didn't make it.

So, are we going or should I sit down?

If I sit, we'll be here a while.

- Let's go, let's go! - Yes.

I wanna get a good seat.

Troy is coming to the Cow House

with us tomorrow night.

- Ooh, wonderful. - Bye-bye!

Be sure to save me a rumba.

Oh, but Troy.

What makes 50 blue-haired old ladies

all say shit at the same time?

Have the 51st say bingo!

Hey, are you drinking a lot of water?

Oh my god.

'Cause you know you can sweat off

like a quart an hour in this heat?

Yeah, I'll be okay.

Thank you.

Hey, I, uh, I brought you my screwgun.

Kill yourself trying to do this whole thing with a hammer.

I'm pretty good with a hammer.

I'm just saying, man.

I mean, I just don't wanna see you hurt yourself.

Well, I'll be fine.

Thanks.

Well your aunt must be pretty stoked

to get herself a new deck, huh?

Porch.

Yeah.

- I guess so. - So how's she doing?

I-I don't see her at all anymore.

What'd she rejoin the Peace Corps?

She's fine.

Well good.

Good.

Hey, we have to get going soon.

Where?

The Cow House, remember?

Yeah, do you mind if I take a rain check on that?

We don't have much rain around here.

Look, I got a whole lot of work to do tonight.

Yeah, the girls are all excited to see you.

I understand that.

Nobody asked you to give your word.

I'm just asking you to keep it.

- Hey Dawn, remember this one? - I love this one, Don.

Why don't we sing it for them, baby?

Let's do it.

Yeah.

Oh, you are a lucky man.

She is a wonderful lady.

Wonderful!

She broke all the old men's hearts when she was here.

Be careful, Troy.

These ladies can really put down some margaritas.

I'd like to make a toast!

First, to Troy's porch, long may it stand.

Hear, hear!

And, and, and, to Corrine.

Wow.

Yeah.

You know, it used to be on, uh, this jukebox

back at this old college bar that I used to go to.

They had the Jo Stafford version.

- Oh, she did it best. - I don't know, you know.

I would've said that till about five minutes ago,

but you.

Do you ever sing professionally?

Nah.

I messed around a bit.

Suffering.

So down and funky.

Seasons the soul,

but bliss is the yeast that makes it rise.

Oh, go on, now.

You make me blush.

You're looking very natty tonight, Bobby.

But you better be careful.

One of these old vultures is gonna kidnap you.

Oh that's okay, I'm packing.

I bet he is.

Have you met Hilda's nephew, Troy?

I have.

Bet you're looking forward to relaxing

on that new porch, huh?

Yup.

I am.

Well.

I just wanted to say hey.

Good seeing you all.

Hilda.

Don't start, Lulu.

That there is the nicest man in Happy Valley.

Used to be a cop.

He fixed my toilet for me once, for free.

He wants to give it to your auntie.

Norma!

Well it's true!

It's not true.

If you would just all mind your own business?

Please?

All the time I've known your auntie,

it's the only thing she gets all ruffled up about.

I'm not ruffled!

I'm not ruffled.

I just don't like the man.

Now, who wants to go dancing?

- How about it? - Okay!

Are you coming, Troy?

Uh, I will wait for the food.

I'll dip you.

Next time.

So what happened between you and that Bobby guy?

Nothing.

When I first moved here, he kept asking me out

and wouldn't take no for an answer.

So why didn't you go out with him?

He irritates me.

What are you doing?

I am trying to write some thank you notes.

Sympathy cards?

Yeah.

What are you thanking them for?

Putting a card in an envelope?

Well I mean I thought it might be nice, you know?

May it help you to know your loved one

is in a better place, far away from the turmoil

of the human race, and someday far beyond the pain

that fills your troubled heart, oh god.

Give me that.

Yeah, I think I better answer this one for you.

Dear Bob and Gloria.

Thank you so much for your sincere and heartfelt note.

It really captured the essence of Corrine,

and helped me put her death into perspective.

Looking forward to seeing you at our next funeral.

You are so unbelievable.

Does this mean anything to you?

Not necessarily.

That's not the point.

If they're not gonna be honest with you,

at least you can be honest with yourself.

I am.

Oh, right.

And you're also just fine.

You know, you don't owe anything to anybody, especially now.

I mean, if someone were to take the time

to write you a real note that meant something to you,

then great, fine.

Answer away.

But to me anyway, you know, life's too short.

It's way too short.

Hey Troy!

You wanna take a ride in an airplane?

A what?

Wings, you know?

The propellor?

Little knobs, gauges.

Guy was gonna go but had to cancel,

so I paid for the plane, I figured I'd ask you.

You're a pilot?

No I just, I just woke up today and I said, what the heck?

I'm gonna fly a plane.

Are you in or not?

Thanks man, I gotta finish work, though.

Well, how far did you get?

I just finished the footing.

You-you can't do anything else til the cement dries, dude.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Look, I told Corrine I was gonna take her up.

I never got around to it.

What do you say?

Yes.

What the hell did you do to this thing?

Oh, I got tired of getting stuck

behind all the blue-haired ladies,

so I gave it a little you know?

I had it up to 63 once with the tailwind.

What do you think about desert, man?

It's kind of desolate.

We are wide eyed when contemplating

the possibility of life on other planets,

yet we wear blinders to the beauty right in front of us.

Who said that?

Colter Bradley.

Guy I was gonna fly with today.

I don't know who said it before him.

Where's Colter Bradley today?

Aw man.

His wife's heart gave out.

She was playing golf yesterday.

Talk about having a bad round.

What is wrong with you people?

You people?

I mean, you and my aunt,

and-and her friends, you know?

You act like when somebody dies,

that it doesn't even matter to you.

It's unbelievable.

You act like you don't even care.

Talk about having a bad round.

You know, maybe if you lost somebody close to you,

you'd actually show a little more respect.

What's happening?

Huh?

What is happening to the plane?

Oh, it's just a stall, man. It happens sometimes.

Can-can you start it again?

It usually corrects itself.

Oh, what-what if it doesn't start up by itself?

Well, the landing can be a little rough.

Hey, let me ask you a question.

Um, how long were you married?

What?

You talk-

How long were you married?

Two years.

Bobby!

I was married to the same woman 23 years.

I had a kid with her, I lost another.

She taught me how to cook,

and I helped her get a college degree.

Bobby!

Bobby, we gotta talk about this plane!

And even though she's not around anymore,

I still respect the hell out of her.

What are you talking about?

I know you're going through a rough time

- right now, son. - Oh my god!

But you will come out of it.

If you let yourself.

- Oh my god! - Do me a favor.

Don't compare scars.

You're not gonna win.

Oh my god, oh my god.

Oh my god!

She didn't die, by the way.

Who didn't die?

Who?

Bradley's wife, the golfer.

She's just in the hospital.

Hey, you wanna fly this thing for a while?

I've never flown anything in my life.

Well with the possible exception of the equator,

everything starts somewhere.

You just put your hands on the wheel.

Put your feet on the pedals.

Just hold her steady.

Oh wow.

Whoo!

You wanna come in for a beer?

Nah, I'd better not.

Hey man, tell me something.

What happened between you guys?

I mean, was it just 'cause you were bugging her for a date?

Is that what she said?

Yeah.

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying, huh?

That's too bad.

Well thank you. I take that as a compliment.

Listen man, I'm sorry, too,

about what I said to you before.

That was way out of line.

Nah.

Man begins cutting his wisdom teeth

first time he bites off more than he can chew.

Where do you get all this stuff?

Life, my boy.

Life!

Hi!

We've been waiting for you.

Oh, wow!

What?

Lulu is selling cosmetics.

It's like a Tupperware party, but for the face.

She's taking us to the cleaners.

Oh, don't listen to them.

Everything is very reasonably priced.

I got great products for the men.

Help get rid of those dark circles under the eyes.

We're going to the arts council meeting.

Mildred's on the board.

They're deciding the first play of the new season.

They wanna do "Duchess of Malfi".

It's 1000 years old, and boring, boring, boring.

We wanna do something more contemporary.

Yes, so how do we look?

Oh, tell us straight!

It's important we look just right.

Uh.

You look ridiculous.

We did it, we did it!

We'll show those hifalutin old biddies

a thing or two about art!

- That's right! - We sure will!

Do that.

The other night, when we were going out to bingo.

Yes.

Phyllis ran a red light.

Now I said, Phyllis, do you know

you ran a red light?

You know what she said?

Oh, am I driving?

She did, hi sweetie.

Yes.

All right, well.

Do you want me to drive?

I want you to come to the reservation

with me tomorrow.

No, I got a lot of work to do on the porch.

I didn't-

That can wait. There's something I wanna show you.

Right, okay.

So what happened to me not having to do

anything I don't want to do.

We leave at 5:30.

In the morning?

Hey.

Hmm?

You awake?

Hey.

You should be awake.

It's great.

Before dawn, when the whole world's asleep.

You know, one of the things I love

about the ancient native cultures is they never take

anything in the natural world for granted.

Just nothing.

I mean, plants.

Rocks, clouds, dusk, sunrise.

Never for granted.

I love that.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is my favorite spot.

Kind of makes you know God hasn't taken his ball

and gone home.

It's funny to hear you talk about God.

Why is that?

You called it a bunch of medieval mumbo jumbo.

No, I love God.

It's his groupies I have trouble with.

♪ You've entered my mind

♪ 100 times

♪ Since you've been gone

♪ I've been through my doubts

♪ But still can't figure out

♪ Just where I must have gone wrong ♪

♪ Why you did go

♪ I'll never know

♪ Don't quite understand

They named it after you.

Don't sound so surprised.

So long you been doing this?

Oh, a little over five years.

I mean, I still fly off here and there,

you know, for a few months.

- Hey. - Hey, Hilda.

Hi, Dave.

You know, it's pretty much my steady gig.

You know, I just had no idea.

Yeah well, it's coming along.

I mean, I'd kill for an X-ray machine

and a sterilizer, and it'd be really nice

to find a doctor who could come

more than twice a month.

Oh wow, what do you do when there's no doctor around?

You're looking at it.

Yeah?

Yeah, well the nearest hospital's three hours away.

It's a long way to go for a few stitches.

You give stitches?

Hey, I've been sewing up people forever.

You were in the Peace Corps or something, right?

Yeah, most of the others.

Red Cross, UNICEF, you name it.

But you never married?

Yeah, I never found anyone who could keep up.

What are we doing?

Whoa!

Hi, Linda.

Troy.

Oh my god.

Good to see you again.

How is the baby?

She's great.

Do you guys wanna both come in and see her?

You know, I, uh, the clinic calls.

I better go.

Okay, well come in.

You should've seen the look on your face

when you found me.

You had some pretty interesting

looks on your face, too.

Oh!

Yeah, I'm sure I did.

I just thought, I can't believe this.

What were you doing out there anyway?

Well, I'd gone to visit my doctor.

And she told me I had two weeks left to go.

So much for modern medicine.

Yeah, I got her.

Here you go.

Yeah, there you go.

Look at that.

Oh.

Hey man, how you doing?

Pretty good.

Hilda inside?

Yup.

Okay, now this is alcohol.

I always like the way that feels, don't you?

- It's so nice and cool? - Uh-huh.

Yeah.

And now look.

You've had shots before, right?

Yeah.

This is a syringe.

And this is what makes you well.

So I need your help.

You're gonna have to count to three with me, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

One, two, three.

How about that?

You didn't even feel it, did you?

- Nope. - Wow, you're so brave.

Oh my!

You can use the front door, you know.

Had a little run in with the hammer.

Man oh man.

Nothing centers a guy like a little pain, huh?

Think I could use that screwgun?

Yeah, well there is a small price.

What price is that?

Just a little bit of your time.

I just, I just acquired a small modicum

of fine domestic beer,

and, uh, well I hate to drink alone,

particularly before three.

When you retire, you gotta have a garden.

It's in the handbook.

And, uh, well there ain't that much

that grows out here, so voila.

Kinda big.

Yeah, that's what I'm going for.

Just for the hell of it, you know.

I did the same thing when I was a kid with goldfish.

I used to feed them like five times a day.

I had them up to the size of a salmon.

I had one explode on me.

A goldfish?

No.

No, not a goldfish.

Anyway, I'm sitting right here one day,

and I hear this sound, you know?

It's like the sound of a fat lady

in a tube top bending over to tie her shoes, you know?

And just at that moment,

I turn, and-

I had cactus juice all over me.

But the upside, the upside is

I haven't had a sunburn since.

You were saying?

I went out to the reservation

with, uh, Hilda yesterday.

Did you know that they named the clinic after her?

Really?

Yeah. I mean, it's still got a few kinks

to iron out and everything.

They need like an X-ray machine,

and a bunch of medical equipment and stuff,

but it's, it's pretty amazing.

Hmm.

So what was it like being a cop?

Who told you I was a cop?

Lulu.

Lulu the Lip.

Well, it ain't like it is on television,

I'll tell you that much.

I do miss the donuts, though.

How would you like to see

the seedy underbelly of Happy Valley?

I thought we were sitting in it.

Have you ever been in a bar

where you knew that somewhere in that bar

there was a guy that had killed another guy?

What's going on, man?

- Hey, Bobby. - What's up, pal?

How you doing?

- Hey man. - How's it going.

I like the earring.

Nice touch.

Hey man.

Let's see some ID.

Get outta here, man.

Now he's gonna card me

Excuse me, just a second.

Troy, stop messing around.

Just-

- Flip your collar down. - Thank you.

Man!

See this guy behind you?

He was a human soap dish in the showers of Leavenworth

for seven to 10 years.

Rich guy over here.

Don't look, don't look.

We don't know what he's doing here.

He drives a moped and lives with his mom.

Uh-oh.

I think I got a live one.

Let me do all the talking.

Excuse me, miss?

Bobby.

Hey, miss?

What are you doing?

No, no, no.

The one behind you.

Lady!

Hey.

Can you come over here for a second, sweetheart?

I wanna ask you something.

- Bobby, let's not- - Atta boy.

Atta boy.

Well actually, it's-it's more my friend over here.

He was, uh, he was checking you out.

He thinks you're kinda hot.

Is that right?

Well.

I think he's kinda hot himself.

Okay, I think that's might be-

Hack, say hello to Troy.

Troy, Hack.

He owns the joint.

Good to know you.

So, uh, how's that old lady of yours?

She throw you out on your ass yet?

Not so far today.

But we're still fighting like asses and elephants.

Hack here is suffering from a bad case

of love at first sight.

Tell him about it, Hack.

Well, the way I see it,

there's two kinds of love.

There's true love, and love at first sight.

Now true love's a healthy kind.

That's where you meet somebody,

you get to know them, fall in love.

Get married, have kids, live happily ever after.

You find that, you're lucky.

Hold onto it for dear life.

Now love at first sight,

well that only happens once in a lifetime.

Mm.

Maybe twice.

But when that happens, you're screwed, man.

I mean, you are sucked into a vortex.

There's no getting out.

And you don't even have to like the person,

because neither your mind nor your heart

nor your johnson is in any kind of control.

I mean, you are being controlled from a place

you didn't even know you had.

That's me.

That's him.

Unfortunately, uh, love at first sight's

usually too top heavy for most mere mortals,

and just crashes and burns.

But, uh, you can manage to find

some sort of equilibrium, some balance,

then you're there.

Quintessence.

You know, I just realized something.

You're much deeper than you look.

Well I gotta go buy my wife some pantyhose.

Good idea.

Do not let this guy get you into politics, Troy.

He will never shut up.

Everything's on the house tonight, right Hack?

For you?

No.

My buddy.

He's amazing.

Ah, he's just a big windbag.

You big windbag!

Hey!

Did you ever talk to my wife about this stuff?

I don't recall.

Listen to this.

It says, "You were my love at first sight."

I don't remember her ever talking like that before.

Wow.

Far out, man.

There's something else I don't understand.

You know, she said maybe I'd figure out

how to uncross the stars.

You know what that means?

I saw you the other night, actually.

You were checking out the stars on your roof.

One star, actually.

Which star?

All right. Don't laugh at me, all right?

This is kinda weird.

But, um, shortly after my old lady died,

I noticed that every time I looked up,

I saw this one certain star.

And what was weird about it was it wasn't the brightest,

it wasn't the biggest,

it wasn't distinguished in any way.

It's just that it was always there in the same spot,

even if I did like, there it was.

I finally figured it out.

It's my old lady.

That's Suki.

Just kinda hanging around and keeping her eye on me.

That's really beautiful.

You wanna meet her?

Maybe she knows Corrine.

Be nice.

Good shot.

Thank you.

Wow.

The stars are so many, they seem to overlap.

They always like this?

You gotta learn to see what's in front of you, boy.

Beginning of wisdom is having a firm grasp

on the obvious.

There she is.

Right there.

I can't tell which one is her.

Nah, I guess you can't.

How'd you meet her, man?

I was a, I was a POW in, uh, in Nam.

I was busted up pretty good.

And she was a nurse and a spy for the SVA.

She saved my life, and then she asked me

if I could help get her out of the country.

I mean, they'd have killed her if I left her there.

We spent three weeks in a swamp, but we made it.

When we got to Saigon,

well, the only way to get her out of there

was if I married her.

Was it true love, or was it love at first sight?

Oh, it was neither, man.

It was just the right thing to do.

But it ended up being true.

You ever had love at first sight?

Man you ask a lot of questions.

Jesus.

Maybe once.

What happened?

Didn't work out.

So, uh.

Anything?

Mm.

Well, she'll be around.

When you're ready to see her.

I'm ready now.

Yeah, she'll be the judge of that.

Hey guys.

What's wrong?

It's Lulu.

When I come to the end of the road,

and the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom filled room.

Why cry for a soul set free?

When you are lonely and sick of heart,

go to the friends you know,

and bury your sorrow in doing good.

Miss me, but let me go.

Oh, oh.

Ah!

For heavens sake!

As many of you know,

I like to tell a joke now and then,

and this, this one was Lulu's favorite.

This old man and this old woman,

they were sitting at a bar,

and looking and eyeing each other up and down,

and finally the old man, he shuffles over to her

and says, you wanna do it?

The old woman shrugs and says, your place or mine?

Old man looks at her,

says, well, if you're gonna argue about it,

let's forget all about it!

I know I can't do Lulu justice to this,

but it was the best thing she ever gave me.

♪ In the night

♪ Eyes that dance

I shouldn't, I don't know what the hell I'm doing here.

What am I doing here?

I should've been gone, like-

It's all right, it's okay.

- It's, you're allowed to cry. - No I'm not allowed to cry.

Yes, of course you are.

Not for someone I've known for four days.

I can't, I can't do that.

What does that have to do with anything?

If you need to cry, do it. It's okay.

I haven't cried for my wife.

I haven't cried for her yet.

It's been almost a month, and I haven't cried for my wife.

What is wrong with me?

It doesn't mean you don't love her.

It means you haven't broken through yet.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Do you love her?

Do I love my wife?

I love her more than anything else in the world.

Of course I love her.

Then that's all that matters.

I just, I-I can't see anything.

Do you know what I mean? Like, I can't see anything.

All I can see is-is my wife's body,

and she's lying on the, on the kitchen floor.

Do you understand how that feels?

Like all day, all day, every day,

that's all I see.

I mean, she never spoke to be about this.

She never talked to me about the sickness.

She never talked to me about headaches.

She never talked to me about any of this stuff.

I mean, what kind of a husband

doesn't know that his wife is sick?

I just, I shouldn't have taken her to the hospital.

- I shouldn't have taken her- - Of course you should've.

- I shouldn't have, no. - Of course you should have.

I just, I made a mistake!

No, you didn't make a mistake.

I didn't realize.

- I just- - No, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

Just let it go.

I'm not good.

- I'm not a good man. - Yes, you are.

I'm not.

- I'm not a good man. - Yes you are.

It's okay.

This is good.

I knew I spent too much time at work.

I should've played more with her.

Well she worked, too.

Yeah, but she laughed so much more than I did.

Well, she was more evolved than you are.

There's something I still can't figure out.

Why did she have me come out here

to build a porch?

I can't figure that out.

I don't know.

She never mentioned any porch to me.

She set it up.

That little.

Corrine set this whole thing up.

You know, I think that's the first time

I've heard you say her name since you've been here

You know when I first met her,

I thought her name was Karen.

We went up to this party.

Her friends thought I was the biggest idiot.

I kept calling her Karen all night long.

I thought she was never gonna wanna see me again.

She turned up at my apartment the next day.

- Wow. - Next, yeah.

I mean, it was like she already knew.

She just came in there, and she started

redecorating everything, and she painted my cabinet.

- Hey Troy. - Yeah?

Hang on a second.

- What's that? - Hang on.

What are you doing?

Six and a half.

- Is that your mark? - Yeah.

Try that on for size, will you?

Thank you.

Well, that's one good-looking deck,

even if I do say so myself.

Hey.

It's a porch.

Hey.

Thanks man.

Check this out.

I may have a beat on some medical equipment.

You sly dog.

Dude, buddy of mine has a buddy

who runs the evidence room at the local PD.

Confiscated all this stuff from this Medicare scam.

Says he's gonna let me have it cheap.

Troy, I want-

Oh hey.

What do you think of the deck?

Bobby gave me a hand.

Bobby.

Hey wait.

Wait a second.

Bobby.

Bobby!

Hey!

Bobby, wait.

B1.

B1.

Two.

B2.

G51.

G51.

Hey, hey, hey.

What, what?

I need to talk with you guys.

You're kidding.

Hey, everybody.

- Hey, you guys. - What?

I need to talk to you all outside, all right?

Can it wait a minute?

All I need is I18 and I win the ThighMaster!

Outside, right now.

I18.

Oh!

- I-1-8! - Bingo!

Oh shit!

We need to talk.

What about?

I need to know what the story is between Hilda and Bobby.

Come on.

Something's going on. Nobody's talking to me about it.

- What is it? - We have to tell him.

But we promised!

We never should have!

This has gone on long enough.

They used to be engaged.

They-they were just kids then.

And he was sent to Vietnam before they could get married.

When he came back here,

Hilda went to see him at the VA hospital.

His wife was there.

Right, because he had to marry Suki

to get her out of Vietnam.

Like, did-did he explain that to Hil?

No chance.

She joined the Red Cross and left the next day.

Even if he had explained, he was still married.

After Bobby's wife died, he tracked Hilda down here.

He did everything he could,

but she wouldn't forgive him.

He bought that house up the street

hoping he'd wear her down.

He even leaves her a sunflower everyday.

That's from Bobby.

Isn't it so romantic?

He even has a tattoo of one on his shoulder.

I-I just can't believe her.

She is such a hypocrite.

No, she's not!

She has a man living down the street from her

who's loved her since, I mean, since I was born, at least,

and she can't even talk to the guy?

Sometimes the hardest person

to give advice to is yourself.

Thank you for that.

Trite and cliche.

I'm getting out of here.

Don't give up on her Troy, please!

Corrine wouldn't want you to.

My wife knew about this?

Sure.

She called them the star-crossed lovers.

Got something to show you. Come on.

Hey girls.

- Hi Bobby! - Hi!

- So good to see you! - So what is it?

It's an X-ray machine.

Your buddy's buddy didn't wanna give it to us at first,

but I gotta say.

Hi!

Our girls can be pretty persuasive.

Well, I hope it gets put to good use.

Wait a second, Bobby.

I want you to take this out to the reservation with us.

Come on, Bobby.

I know what happened between you and Hilda.

What's the one thing in the world

that means more to Hilda than anything?

It's the clinic, right?

Let-let's just forget the head.

Let's go for the heart!

Bobby, I know you love her!

Look, never argue with an idiot, Bobby!

They'll drag you down to their level,

they'll beat you with experience!

That was pretty good.

Did you like that?

I felt like I mixed up the metaphors.

No, no, no you did,

but, uh, you more than made up for it

with your delivery.

Thank you.

Oh, you got potential, kid.

I mean, you're no Buddy Hackett,

but I'll work with you.

Oh, okay!

I don't know if that's a good thing

or bad thing.

I'm gonna have you writing fortune cookies

before it's all over.

Just get in the truck.

Why don't you get in the truck?

You get in the truck.

Okay.

She was very lucky she didn't break anything.

I'm gonna give you some of this gauze.

You take it home, and every time it gets dirty,

probably by the time you get home, you'll need to redo it.

And every time it gets wet-

Just don't spoil the surprise, keep the surprise.

You're not-

What's all this?

We have a surprise for you.

I'm a little busy.

No, come on.

Get your butt out of here.

- Come on, come on. - Five seconds.

Just give us five seconds.

- All right, come on. - Where?

Straight ahead, straight.

Off to the right, to the right.

Okay.

We found an X-ray machine.

There's a blood analyzer,

and an instrument sterilizer.

How on earth did you find this?

From a friend of ours.

He heard what great work you're doing out here

and wanted to help.

Who is it?

Thank you very much.

You're welcome, Hilda.

It's okay.

Wait a second.

Hey, what are you doing?

I'm getting the hell out of here.

Look, I know what happened between you and Bobby.

Oh, what do you think you know?

You don't know anything.

Do you know what it feels like to spend a year

of your life not knowing if the person you love

is dead or alive, or being tortured?

Do you?

Do you know what it felt like to finally find out

he's safe, and go to the hospital room,

and there he is, with his wife?

Do you know how that felt

with his engagement ring on my finger?

Do you?

She saved his life, all right?

He had to marry her to save hers.

He didn't have to stay with her.

He didn't have to have a child with her.

Okay, you disappeared.

What the hell was this guy supposed to do?

Look, I told you how I felt about him

when you first got here.

You should've left it alone.

Yeah, well I told you how I felt

when I first got here.

You didn't leave that alone.

- That's different. - Why?

Why is it different?

You know, you've wasted the first half of your life

because of this stuff.

Do you think it's wise to waste the rest of it, too?

What do you expect me to do?

Just pretend it didn't happen?

Just, I can't believe you, you know?

I can't believe you.

You're such an expert on giving other people advice.

You're a real idiot when it comes to yourself.

Do you know that?

You know, how dare you?

How dare you waste this chance?

Hey baby.

It's me.

Guess you know that, right?

So what do you think of the deck?

The porch, thing, whatever.

We're gonna finish it tomorrow.

Not that that's why you had me come out here,

but I did it anyway, so there.

Me and Bobby.

You know what, I think you probably planned that, too.

Sweetheart, I'm sorry I couldn't figure out

how to uncross the stars.

Man, she's so stubborn.

You know, she could see what she was missing.

Damn it, I'd give anything in the world

to have a second chance.

It's not gonna happen.

That's okay.

You know something,

I think I might've figured out why

I haven't been able to find your star yet.

It's not because you've been hiding from me, you know?

I've been hiding from you.

I'm not sure, I think maybe I was just

ashamed to admit that,

admit that I can go on,

that I can go on without you.

It's just, there's so much I gotta do here, baby.

Down here in the world, and I'm,

I'm gonna need you.

I'm gonna need you.

I love you so much, baby.

You're my love at first sight.

Bobby?

Hey Bobby!

Hey, man.

Hey.

You sleep in today?

No, I had a really long night.

Listen.

I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday.

I should've left that alone.

Nah, man.

It's cool.
