Original subtitles

Dean: Okay, are you ready?

Marcel: I guess.

Dean: And speeding.

Marcel: What's that?

Dean: I want to start with some questions.

Marcel: Oh, got it.

Dean: Is it hard for you?

Has it been hard for you since...

Marcel: Mmm...

Not in the way that I think you would think it would be, but...

Uh, it's pretty much common knowledge

that it takes at least 20 shells

to have a community.

That that's about the minimum that you need to survive, so...

Dean: Yeah.

Marcel: I think at first

I was thinking we're not gonna make it.

But sometimes you just have to disregard those rules

and think, "well, actually, the rule is

"that I want to be having a good life

"and stay alive, and...

And not just survive, but have a good life.

Dean: Tell me about what's life like now?

It... me? Uh...

I appreciate its different beauties,

but it... it's not the way I would've done things

it! Was still in the group.

But they're not here.

So, that's why I have the electric mixer.

- Ready? - Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Ta-da!

Dean: I mean, I don't want my voice in it.

Well, that's up to you.

Dean: So, stop asking me questions is what I'm saying.

Oh! Oh, okay.

Do your parents work? Have you ever met a chef?

What happens if you break this?

Have you ever eaten a raspberry?

Um, and what was that like?

Are you gonna ask me questions?

Hello?

Oh, man, this is weird.

Dean: I don't want my voice in it.

How am I supposed to ask you questions?

Marcel: There are actually only two of us now.

Myself...

And my grandmother, Nana Connie.

Back when the man and the woman lived here,

there were a lot of us.

More sounds and smells

and, uh, things to say

'cause there were more people to talk to.

- Connie: There... a stage. - Marcel: All right!

Marcel: Ah! Up.

These days, it's quieter.

Dean: Rolling. Give me some levels.

Give... give you some levels? Like...

- Dean: Just, like, talk a little bit. - Like, oh, uh...

- Hello, my name is... - Darn it.

It's not the first time I've done that.

My name is Marcel,

and I'm partially a shell as you can see on my body,

but I also have shoes,

and, um, a face.

So, I like that about myself, and I like myself,

and I have a lot of other great qualities as well.

- Dean: That was perfect. - Okay.

Marcel: Is this the wild tone right now?

- Dean: Yes. - Marcel: Ugh.

Dean: Just stay still for 30 seconds.

How long you gonna...

What are you trying to do with all this?

Dean: Um...

I'm making, like, a little documentary

that I might put online.

- Online? - Dean: Yeah.

Eh, you lost me.

Marcel: Ugh.

- Dean: Are you okay? - Itchy. Are you recording?

- Yeah. - Right now?

- Yeah. - Oh.

Well, what should I be doing?

Just, well, don't do anything.

Just do whatever you'd normally be doing,

like if I weren't here.

Dean: Where'd you get the rope?

Marcel: This? Uh, it... I... I'll show you.

I come to the bathroom, I get these curly hairs.

They're the strongest

'cause you have to uncurl it,

but, um, then you can see it's really long and strong.

But...

Hey, what are you laughing at?

We call 'em Hardy hairs.

Marcel: This is the arboretum,

a collection of trees that a community keeps alive,

but I do like to talk to them,

and plants like to have

classical music played for them.

Mozart and brahms, it helps them grow faster.

This is my bread room.

Uh, it's a bedroom,

but I sleep on a piece of bread,

sol...

Dean: Whoa, sorry. He's just saying hi.

Marcel: I actually

like the concept of having a dog.

Oh, god, I can smell his face.

But I just tie a hair to a piece of lint,

and I drag it around.

I love you.

Come on. Come on. That's it.

Sometimes, people say

that my head is too big for my body.

And then I say, "compared to what?"

Sometimes, if I don't have a way to itch my itch,

the only thing I can do is I just stand there.

I just let it get me and I just...

I just have to scream it out.

Marcel: He's your best friend?

Don't you know any other

guys or...

Cool.

Hmm. I never get it the first time.

Nope.

Oh, dang it.

Oh! Go, go, go!

Boom! There it is.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

- Dean: Wow. - That's a quote.

I didn't make that up.

It's by a famous sports player named wayde...

Wayde gansdy...

Dean: What is it?

Ways...

Way... whale...

Whale gensky.

- Are you thinking of Wayne... - Gensky. Whale...

- Dean: Wayne... - Could that be his name?

Whale jetski?

- Dean: No. - No?

- Wake... lake... Jake? - Dean: Well...

Wayne jet... jet... get...

This is my stockpile.

All right, so, we got your basics here.

I got couple of almonds. I have a dozen peanuts.

It's basically your dry goods.

You got a craisin with the raisins,

but the craisin sits to the side

because it is a treat. Uh...

Dean: Is... is this an inhaler?

It's like... it's like a slide or something...

Like, I don't even actually know what it this is.

Where did you get that from?

From one of the people that stayed here for a night.

- Why? - Did you take anything from me?

Marcel: Mmm...

Dean: What is wrong with you?

Marcel: I didn't know.

- Dean: Give me that. - I didn't know what it was.

Marcel: So, these are all the parts put together.

- Dean: Mmm-hmm. - And then now what?

Dean: I'm gonna put it on the Internet,

- and people can watch it. - Oh.

Oh, no.

Your soda can is almost empty.

Marcel: Whoa.

Dean: Sorry. Hold on one second.

All right.

Marcel: I don't know why you would...

What... what is cleaning the house

if all she does is move things around,

and disturb the entire environment?

Dean: She doesn't. She's doing dishes right now.

She's the harbinger of the vacuum.

Dean: I can't tell her to go home.

I mean, that's her scheduled cleaning.

- But why? - She was hired

by the lady that is, like, the airbnb host.

- What? The... - Airbnb?

- Mmm, what is airbb? - To clean.

Oh, that's you! Oh, who's she?

Dean: Oh... I don't...

Oh, wow, wait, what?

- That's outside of here. - Yeah.

Somehow, this has kind of turned

into like a computer hotel?

- Dean: Sort of, yeah. - Why did you decide...

Why are you here?

Dean: I had to move out of my old place,

so I'm staying here until I find a new one.

Why did you have to move out?

Uh, that's personal.

Okay.

You never talked to anyone who stayed here before?

People don't usually notice us.

Aw, dang it.

I got to go check on Nana Connie

if this lady's gonna be running the vacuum.

Marcel: This is the rover. Ow!

It's a good thing I don't, like, "care" care

about this car because I can't

figure out where I'm going in this thing.

Oops, what was that? Sorry.

Dean: No, no, no. Arthur.

Marcel: Hopefully, she's right around the corner here.

And there she is.

That's a load off.

Can you just wait here for one sec

because I do think that with you and with the camera,

- it's just I... that I... - Dean: Okay.

- I just want to warn her. Yeah. - Okay.

Brown head-hair, and he has glasses.

Connie: You want me to leave?

No, no, no, no, no! I want you to stay is what I...

- Dean: Yeah. - Marcel: Just careful

- where you step. - Dean: Yeah, I know.

- Marcel: I just brought him by. - Connie: You're making what?

Dean: A documentary.

- Dean: It's like... - Oh, it's like a movie,

but nobody has any lines,

and nobody even knows what it is

while they're making it.

- Dean: Mmm... - No?

Dean: That's sort of a way to put it, yeah.

No, I just am making a little video portrait.

- About Marcel? - Dean and Marcel: Yeah.

- A... a film? - Dean: Uh, yeah.

It's like the truth, kind of. It's a...

And it's the truth about Marcel?

I mean, I hope so.

I guess he could really spin it,

and make me look like a total...

Dean: So, this is your garden out here, huh?

- Yes. - Dean: Beautiful.

- Connie: Thank you. - Thank you for the aromas.

Con n I e: My house was very popular.

I had lots of friends.

And if you told me then,

many years ago,

that I would've spent so much time in a garden,

I would've said, "are you kidding?"

Okay, you see these ones?

You can feel them.

They're not quite ripe,

but in a few days, they would be.

It wasn't easy.

I didn't know anything about farming.

Because when the couple still lived here,

there was always food.

In the pantry, in the kitchen,

there were stacks here and there.

But when they went away

the food disappeared.

So, I had to taught myself how to farm.

"Planting, harvesting..."

Marcel: She's always been a pretty tough cookie.

Everything has a function with her.

There's no one button that's there for decoration.

- You know what I mean? - Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Marcel: She's just like a backhoe.

But I will say you can really see her tender side

when she's working with the bugs.

Dean: Is she okay?

Yeah, she's okay,

she's a little loopy.

She had a little bit too much, uh, nectar.

Vino Fiore, right, franny?

Marcel: My community found the bugs

to be deeply unlikeable.

Connie: Okay, we'll put her here in the sun.

And in a few seconds, she'll be dry.

Marcel: But Connie's made friends with many of them,

and in return, they actually help her with the gardening.

Connie: At first, found them a little yucky

but now I see their beauty.

Marcel: I cannot stand this thing.

Because they turn the soil, they break it...

It's wonderful to have them.

His whole body looks like his pants are off.

It reminds me

of whoopi goldberg in sister act,

how she helps them to do graffiti

in a meaningful way or something, and...

Oh, there she goes.

- Connie: Oops! - Marcel: Ow, ow, ow.

Connie: She's gone.

Marcel: Uh, sort of.

Oh, wow.

Connie: What is, uh... what is this?

- Marcel: Hmm? - Dean: What's that?

What are you doing now with Marcel?

Oh, I'm making a movie.

- Uh... - A documentary.

- About Marcel? - Dean and Marcel: Yeah.

A documentary? Uh, a film?

Yeah.

- Ah, Marcel. - You remember, nan,

we were just talking about it.

It's a movie,

and we're doing it together, but...

- What I just said before. - Connie: That's what you...

Marcel: And we just joked about it.

- Connie: Yes. - Marcel: It's the truth,

but it's the truth about me...

Marcel: She has lost a small piece...

Of a very large puzzle.

Nan!

Nana!

Once or twice a week, I 7! Find her in here,

snoozing in the laundry basket and...

Dean: Is it bad for her to be in here?

Yeah, it's not the safest place to be.

You know, my cousin fell asleep in a pocket,

and that's why I don't like the saying,

"everything comes out in the wash,"

because sometimes it doesn't.

Or sometimes it does,

and they're just like a completely different person.

'Cause after that,

my cousin would just sit by the window

and wait for fire trucks to go by.

Guess what I use to tie my skis to my car.

- Dean: What? - A hair.

Guess what my...

Guess... guess what my skis are.

- What? - Toe nails from a man.

Marcel: Wait, hold on.

So, you're telling me that 84 different people have

just watched?

- Dean: Yeah, isn't that cool? - Yeah.

I mean... Geez.

What?

Just... Wow.

Dean: What do you do when you get bored?

Uh, I move around.

J“ you really gotta move, move it

j“ you really gotta groove it

j“ taking that time to let yourself

j“ lose it j“

Connie: [Could tell he's performing a little bit for you,

- you know? - Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Da, da, da, da. You're giving him a stage.

It's good for him.

Marcel: One, two...

J“ mmm, I want to linger

j“ mmm, a little longer

j“ mmm, a little longer here with you...

The stage makes him feel good.

Playful. He needs that.

J“ mmm, and as the years go by

j“ mmm, I'll think of you and sigh

j“ mmm, that it's so long and not goodbye j“

He hasn't been able to get that

since the others were taken from us.

Okay, so do you just want me to start at the beginning?

Marcel: I don't actually know how it started,

but the man and the woman started to yell at each other

more often than they would talk to each other.

You'd just hear these big noises from the sky,

and my cousin's house fell down this one time

when the office door got slammed.

Connie: We started to have a shelter plan.

We all go to the sock drawer,

and so everyone will be safe there.

Marcel: This was a Sunday,

and everybody gets together,

and we all watch 60 minutes as a community.

Dean: 60 minutes, the...

Yeah. So, this is where we were...

- Marcel: And... - Dean: Every week, all of you?

Yeah. We love it.

We just call it "the show." That's how much we love it.

Lesley.

- Dean: Who's Lesley? - Lesley show.

She likes Lesley stahl.

I'm Lesley stahl...

Marcel: She blows cases wide open,

and she's got class.

Tonight on 60 minutes.

Marcel: But...

Connie: We could tell that something was the matter

because the clock started ticking...

And it was just the two of us there.

Marcel: It was the big one.

Marcel: And we had...

We had no warning.

What we think is that

everybody scooted

into the sock drawer, and, uh...

And the man just...

Dumped all the drawers into a suitcase.

And then he left.

Marcel: And that's... That's how they got moved.

Oh...

Dean: Do you want a tissue?

Yeah.

Do you mind if I just plop into it real quick?

Dean: Sure.

Shoot

Dean: This can be our last thing.

Okay.

It's always what they say on the days

when you have

a really keen sense of being lost

or losing something,

that it...

It often feels like the sun shines the brightest.

And then the next day,

there was a really sunny day with a good breeze.

And I just remember thinking,

"it! Was somebody else,

"I would really be enjoying this."

Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Whoa! Geez.

Okay, here it is.

Dean: So, tell me a little bit about who you put on here.

Marcel: I put, first and foremost,

my parents, Catherine and Mario,

next to each other with a heart.

My brother is here and here...

And I put my music teacher, the maestro.

- Dean: Wow! - Yeah!

Dean: I love that one, it sounds like taps.

Do you know that?

Yeah. Do you want to hear taps?

Sure.

Dean: Do you feel angry?

Marcel: Uh, I just feel angry

that we didn't have a better goodbye.

Dean: Who would you say goodbye to?

Marcel: I'd like to say goodbye

to my neighbors, the costas.

Goodbye, the costas,

even though we had a language barrier.

You were my neighbors.

You always liked to garden.

Goodbye, Richard, you were the worst singer in our class,

but I loved how you let me out you in line.

Goodbye, anka,

your sense of timing is one of the worst.

Bye, Sandra, you were my favorite author.

Goodbye, Mrs. Kim.

The time that you ate a pepper flake

and it made you fly into the wall

was one of the funniest yet most serious accidents

any of us ever witnessed,

and you bore it with great grace and bravery.

Goodbye, Brad.

Thank you so much

for rolling that marble into my bread room.

I still keep it to this day.

Yep. And that... and there they all are.

- Guess why I smile a lot. - Dean: Why?

Uh, 'cause it's worth it.

Marcel: Um... Uh, whatcha doing?

Looking for apartments.

So, do you have any plans tonight?

No.

I'm gonna...

- Dean: Give me that. - Marcel: No! No!

Dean: Whoa. Marcel, look at this.

Marcel: It... aren't I... Wait. Is this normal for you?

Dean: No, this never happens.

- It's so cool. - Connie: 22 million?

It's wonderful.

Yeah, it's, uh, broad... Broad spectrum of emotions.

Connie: I didn't even know there were that many people.

Dean: Okay, nowjump really hard.

Have you guys seen Marcel the shell?

It's a YouTube video.

Marcel: My name is Marcel,

and I'm partially a shell.

My name is Marcel,

and I'm a shell as you can see on my body, but...

Oh, so nice.

As a beanbag?

A raisin.

The wildly popular online character,

Marcel the shell with shoes on...

Man 1: Marcel...

Marcel the shell with shoes on.

"When the kush hit..."

"Kush"? What is kush?

Marcel: I... it goes so deep, and...

Dean: They got tattoos.

Marcel: It's just so many people, I...

I kind of regret this tattoo.

Here it is.

It's like a snail.

Um, I just saw it online,

but it was like super puffy the day after,

and I don't know why,

and the tattoo guy couldn't say why.

And then, a couple of months later,

I found out that I...

Today, I'm going to be popping popcorn

with a magnifying glass. So right now we have...

Marcel: There's all these people,

and... and we're all looking at the same thing,

and we're all doing the same thing.

- Woman: - We're watching the guys...

Marcel: It's beautiful. And... and it feels like...

I don't even know how to describe it.

It feels like something.

Marcel: Move, move, move!

Marcel: It's really lovely.

- Are you okay? - Yes, yes. I'm okay. I'm okay.

Dean: So, are you going to eat it?

Marcel: You can eat this stuff?

- Dean: Yeah, dude! - What does it taste like?

Dean: Oh, my gosh, you're gonna love it.

So good, isn't it?

Marcel: It's all been really fun,

and having all this happen, and...

And, uh...

You know, it's so big feeling, and it's so nice.

- Woman: - Let it go! Let it go!

Marcel: The other part of it is I think I find

my mind wandering a bit just thinking,

what would my family think,

and really noticing

that they're not here to share it with me.

I do wonder what...

What my dad would say,

what my mom would say, and, yeah...

I think they'd like it a lot.

Oh! There she goes.

Dean: Oh, beautiful.

Marcel: Hmm.

There must be so many others like me.

It's impossible that there wouldn't be,

and not just my family.

They're out there.

Somewhere out there.

Every time I do this, that dog goes totally crazy.

He sees something truly elegant in the sky,

and this is his reaction?

What a sad type of idiot.

Marcel: Wow, this is...

Dean: Well, yeah, I don't think that's gonna yield much.

Marcel: No. Right, but...

- Dean: Probably. - Marcel: You know...

Dean: What's the matter?

Do you think they could be out there?

Dean: Uh, I mean...

Maybe.

Dean: All right, I think that's it.

We are live streaming.

Marcel: And do I look at you,

or should I look right into the thing?

Dean: Me. Quick, uh, no, the camera.

It's gonna take a picture.

Okay, well...

Hi, everybody. It's Marcel from before,

and I'm recording this video

because I'm looking for my family.

They were last seen with this man.

His name is Mark.

They disappeared from the house

owned by a woman named Larissa.

Here it is.

- Man: What we do - is manage properties

that are on the short-term rental market,

so if somebody's out of town for a long time

and just wants to rent a place for a while, we do that.

Marcel: So could you give me her number?

Man: If there's a problem with the property,

I can send someone out,

but I can't give you any personal information.

Uh-huh. Hey, have you ever eaten a raspberry?

Hello?

Darn it.

Dean: Just go for it.

Marcel: This is what they look like. Uh, right here,

and here and here.

Um, I made this just to give you a sense

of who to be on the lookout for.

Sorry. I think I need a little help here.

- Dean? - Hmm?

- Oh, Dean, come on. - Because of what you're doing.

It's exciting. It's a good scene.

Marcel: You could... You could still film it.

You can just put the thingy on the thing.

Dean: How would you do it if I wasn't here?

There's a lot of times

where I just don't get stuff that I need.

You are here. That's actually what the truth of it is.

Dean: Yeah, but I don't want to be in it.

That's, like, defeats the whole point of this.

You know, Dean, have you ever thought that...

Your life might be a bit less lonely

and a bit more integrated

if you took the time to connect with somebody

and not just make videos about them?

Thank you.

And lastly, this picture here

shows the car that Mark drove away in.

It is a teal mishibibi.

- Dean: Mitsubishi. - Marcel: Mitsi-ibitsy.

- And... - Dean: Mitsubishi.

- Marcel: What is it? - Mitsubishi.

Marcel: Mitsubatbitsubisy.

Please leave any tips or any helpful comments

in the section below.

Thank you. Have a great day.

- Update, guys, - I think we found it.

It's Marcel's house. It's Marcel shell's house.

Do you think you can get in there right now?

- Girl: Oh, someone' s coming. - Boy: Go.

- Girl: We got to go. - Follow for more

- celebrity homes. - Boy: Just keep going.

Marcel: Huh.

Are they...

Are they here to help?

Dean: Mmm...

Uh...

Don't feel that this is the task force

I was hoping for.

There's so much nothing.

"She's the best."

"She"? What?

But my dad has pink shoes. So did my grandfather.

So cute.

Ugh. Peace.

Uh, yeah. Obviously peace.

Like...

What a weird thing to try to test

to see if someone else is into.

Like, of course I'm into peace.

No, sorry, I'm a real war person.

No, war actually.

I sign all my personal letters, "war."

"Let the battle begin. Marcel."

Ugh!

You know, there's...

There is nothing in here about finding them.

It's still a group of people,

but it's an audience. It's not...

It's not a community. There's...

Man.

Oh! What about the car?

Dean: What do you mean?

Mark drove away in a tea! Car.

So we can go look for it. Like, if we find the car...

Dean: Yeah, I don't think that's like...

That's not the way to...

Wow! Okay, so it actually doesn't even seem that big.

I mean, it's big but what we just need to do

is get up high,

and then maybe we'll be able to spot his car.

- Dean: Mmm... - What's, like, your mantel?

Like, when I need to look out over the whole rug,

I get up high. I get up on the mantel.

Do you see what I'm saying? 'Cause I can see...

- Dean: Yeah, no, I got it. - Yeah.

Great, so we'll just head up to the top of this thing,

and then we'll be able to see it.

Dean: I don't think we'll necessarily be able

- to see it. - I actually disagree.

Dean: I don't think it's a good idea because

if we're... if we don't have, like, a plan,

then we're just, sort of, flying blind.

And we might just waste a lot of time

- going around in circles. - Just put that there...

- Dean: What's that for? - It's just in case we get in a fight.

We're not gonna get in any fights.

You said it was dangerous out there.

- It's dangerous in a different way, so... - And you know what else?

I should probably bring this match.

Dean: You don't need that.

Uh, just give me one more minute.

I need some sort of a helmet.

All right, so you've got the book.

You've got a little bit of a raisin,

which I really don't think you're gonna finish,

but you can go to town. Go to town.

Also, you have

two drips of...

- Look over here. - What?

You have two drips of water.

You got an led flashlight in case the power goes out.

You just got to step on it like this. See?

- See how it... whoa. - What?

Sorry. But don't stand right in front of it.

Finally, this is the sparkler.

What you do is you light this end on fire,

and then you step back.

This can act as a flare, all right?

- Why would I need it? - That's if you need to signal for help.

And Dean's gonna leave you his phone just in case.

- What? No, I'm not. - Who will see the flare?

You know what? Now that I'm thinking about it,

why don't we just put the colander over you now

if you want?

All right, how's that?

You must let me out of here.

Marcel: Do you want Alan in there with...

- Oh, my god. - Dean: It's okay.

- I'm so sorry. - It's not a big deal. It's tiny.

Marcel: Whew.

I think I'm okay.

God, I am so sorry.

Oh, my god.

How many times a day do you throw up in your car?

There's a car. That...

That's a teal, but, uh, but that's more like, mmm...

I've never seen a lake except for in a picture.

Dean: Let's do it.

Uh, I think I'm gonna cry.

Dean: It's very beautiful.

There's fountains in the lake.

And another car. And a car. And a car. And a...

There's a lot of places to get tattoos.

"Psychic love expert." Wow, I bet... wow.

Dean: I could use one of those.

What would you want her to say?

Dean: Uh, I don't know.

There's more fish in the sea.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Look, you got a lot of smoocheroonies in your future.

- I can see it now. - Dean: Yeah.

- Yeah, exactly. - Yeah, yeah.

Ooh, baby, baby.

Ooh, baby.

I've seen people kiss on television.

I'm so sorry.

Dean: Up here, yeah?

Marcel: Oh! Is it? Oh, this is it!

- This is it. - Dean: Let's check it out.

Whoa, we're really going up.

Up, up, up. This is gonna get high.

Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Wow.

What are all the little dots on the hills?

Those are houses.

All?

Yeah. Those are houses like yours.

Really?

Marcel: What's all that?

Dean: That's the rest of the city.

Marcel: Oh, right. Right, right.

I had no idea.

Is this all there is for out there?

Dean: Mmm-mmm.

This is like one part of one big city.

- And the... - But, uh...

But there are many big cities.

There's lots of them. I mean, you've seen, like, you know,

in movies and when it says, like, "Tokyo" and...

Uh-huh.

"Antarctica," those are all different places.

Oh. Right.

Marcel: There's so many places that they could be.

Do you think it's impossible?

Dean: I don't think it's impossible.

I think that's just, uh...

Look at that lady's dress.

Marcel: I know. It's really nice.

- Thanks for the ride. - Yeah. It was fun.

Marcel: Oh. Look at this.

They're right on the... They're on the lawn.

- They came right up. - Woman 1: Stop it!

Woman 2: You wouldn't get it.

Dean: Hey, guys. Guys.

Woman 2: I wanna be first.

- Dean: Hey. - Woman 1: Stop it!

Dean: No, no.

Um...

Would you mind just moving a little bit

so we can pull the car in?

Dean: Arthur.

Marcel: Nan! Nan!

Marcel: Nan!

- Nan! - Connie: Yes.

Marcel: Oh, my god. Nan, are you...

- Connie: I'm just hurt a little bit... - Marcel: Oh, my god.

- But I'm okay. - Marcel: You are?

Please just...

Marcel: Just lean your whole self on me.

Marcel: Put all your weight. Don't worry, I can take it.

And I guess... okay.

Marcel: Uh, let's just take it easy.

Marcel: I'm really not sure exactly of what happened

because she won't tell me.

It could just be that she doesn't remember,

and I think that's probably the case.

Do you want me to stop?

But what I've been able to piece together

is that she did get startled, then she fell off the dryer.

No! No! Arthur!

Dean: Sorry. Arthur, come here.

- Arthur! - Marcel: Dean...

Arthur! Come here.

He... he... he has got to go.

I cannot have him here with Connie like this.

It's not that I don't like Arthur.

Stop, Dean. I'm not kidding.

Connie: Stop that.

Marcel: No! Oh, my god!

- No! No. Off! - Dean: Arthur! Arthur!

Marcel: All right. A little bit more.

Okay.

What's he, uh...

What's he being charged with?

Dean: What?

Marcel: Is he going to the jail?

Dean: No.

Oh. Oh, phew. 'Cause I'm sorry. I thought...

Dean: I'm going to take him to my wife's house.

Marcel: Uh... you...

What?

Dean: Well, we got separated recently,

so that's why I'm staying here.

I've been looking for a new place.

That's why I'm here.

Why wouldn't you tell me this?

Dean: Uh, I don't know. I didn't think to.

Marcel: Okay.

I told you so much. I...

- So... - I'm making a movie about you.

I'm not making a movie about me.

But you're also here. And I was sharing.

You didn't also think to share?

And then you're just pointing that around.

No. I do think about it.

It's not...

Marcel: Why do you... do you always need to be filming?

Dean: No...

I think you'll be glad

I have it, though. We have it.

Marcel: Uh-huh.

Hold on.

Can we pause the videos that we made

so people can't see them, please?

Dean: Yeah, I can take 'em down.

Marcel: I just can't have more people coming to the house

like... like how it happened today.

I can't believe I let this happen.

Marcel: Well, you know, she sleeps a lot.

And she hasn't been eating very much.

It's looking good. You just gotta keep on moving.

You're just one more little...

Connie: Let me do... I can do it.

- Marcel: - She's just not able to do

a lot of the things that she used to be able to do.

- Yeah, that's... - Connie: Hurts.

- Over again. - Marcel: Sorry, did you shut the window?

Connie: Yes, I shut the window.

Don't help me here. I don't need help.

Marcel: Nana, I'm not even doing anything.

Uh!

The skater rink,

you know, is usually just for the holidays.

- Connie: Want to try... - Marcel: How am I looking?

Connie: You need, uh, maybe once or twice more.

Marcel: Okay.

But I set it up just to...

Try to cheer her up a bit.

Marcel: Pump it. Pump it up. Come on, nan.

All right!

Nana, pump it up.

No, no. No, no, I don't think so.

- Don't you wanna pump it up? - No, no.

When I say "jam," you say "nan." Jam.

Well, she won't skate with me anymore, that's for sure.

Get into it, a little bit.

Stop it.

Marcel: But you know what?

She... she really does like the dust.

For her, it's special. She's not from here.

She's from the garage. That's why she has the accent.

It's this wonderful smell.

Marcel: She traveled here by coat pocket

when she was really little.

I just feel...

Marcel: And so I think it reminds her of home.

Nan, look at this. Ready?

Connie: Oh!

Grandma Connie, we need to move!

Not that way. This way!

Get it out! I'll get the rover!

Did I hit it?

Dean: Not coming over here? Come follow my voice.

- Marcel: Your left or my left. - Dean: Your left.

Marcel: At this point, the good days

are harder to come by with her.

Dean: I mean, he's right here. He's on the couch.

Yeah, I'm looking right at him.

Marcel: And then the bad days are just actually astounding.

Dean: Oh! He can jump.

There he... there he goes!

- Marcel: Ah, all right, all right. - Dean: Yay!

Marcel: I'm trying not to treat her any differently,

but it's, uh, keeping me on my toes, I'll tell you that.

Dean: Wait, I'm gonna close this.

Marcel: Wow, look at this.

- You might be interested. - Dean: Right?

Marcel: Oh, my gosh.

Dean: I know.

Marcel: With Lesley stahl.

Oh, my gosh.

Ugh. This is a...

This is...

Oh, my god.

- Dean: It's amazing, isn't it? - Marcel: Mmm, yeah, yeah.

It's really...

We can't show this to Nana Connie.

Absolutely not.

Dean: I mean, I could ask them to keep

the crew really small, then they wouldn't make

- a big footprint. - No. No, no, no.

Dean: Can I ask them how many people would come in?

- No. - What?

I'm not taking the risk.

- There are a lot... - Dean: What is the risk?

The risk? Look what already happened to Nana Connie.

Connie: "We're wondering if you might be interested

"to discuss doing an interview piece with Lesley stahl."

Marcel: We can't do it, nan.

Connie: The real Lesley?

- Dean: Yeah, it's the real Lesley. - Marcel: Don't do that.

"Please let me know if you're interested.

"We'd love to make it work."

Marcel: This recovery is not happening fast enough,

and now she has attitude, and I feel bad.

We'll just do it once she's feeling better

and moving around better.

Dean: How many of those do you take? Don't take a lot.

I'm not taking, 'Cause I don't know how...

When I'm gonna get another one.

This is howl live.

We just had to work so hard just to do this,

just to find new ways of doing things

and learning how to survive on our own.

And I guess it's...

I don't wanna end up with less... than what I have.

Dean: I can't make this decision for you, but...

No, you're not. I've already made it for myself.

Dean: This is a really good way to find them.

Marcel: I said no.

He's no fun to be around, is he?

Marcel: Do... do you have any corner pieces over there?

Connie: I want you to do it.

No. Nan, no. And we already... We told them no.

But don't you want to meet Lesley stahl?

We need quiet, Nana.

We don't need a lot of people coming in here and...

You don't... you don't need quiet for me.

- I don't want quiet. - Oh.

- Nope. - I think you should do it.

Marcel: You know, we're just flying blind. I don't...

I don't even know what we're supposed to be making here.

What is this even a picture of?

Do you have any blue pieces?

Connie: He seems... he's bound up, isn't he?

Dean: Mmm.

Connie: I think he's afraid of

Change.

Scary.

Especially after what we went through.

But life's not gonna go on unless...

If you don't.

If you don't open up, right?

Do you know that, Dean?

Heh, heh, heh.

Lesley: Who among us hasn't wished...

We could read someone else's mind?

Know exactly what they're thinking.

Well, that's impossible, of course...

Connie: I want him to...

I want him to dive in life, you know?

Dean: Mmm-hmm.

Connie: I'm not gonna be here forever. Hmm.

You know what I mean?

Dean: Uh, yeah, I think he's just worried that...

Maybe he'll feel...

He'll sort of lighten up when you're feeling better.

- Better? - Yeah.

Feeling better.

Better. Better. Better. Hmm.

T-t-t-t-t-tch. Better.

Marcel: Connie?

Nan?

Huh.

It's weird because I did think I heard her up. Listen...

What the...

Nan.

- Are you... - Look how fun this is. Look.

- Marcel: You're just out here? - Connie: Look, I had forgotten how fun...

Marcel: Yeah, how long have you been out here?

Connie: Look, I can...

Oh! What is going on right...

Nan, you're really...

I have to work on my aim, but look, look, look.

Marcel: Yeah, I see that.

Connie: I've been trying to get it.

Marcel: J“ what so proudly

j“ we hailed...

J“ at the twilight's... j“

I never understood the words, but I could do it with...

Marcel: I don't wanna get ahead of myself,

but she seems to suddenly have a lot more energy.

Dean: Do you know what that is?

- Marcel: It's the... - Connie: They play that

- before the sports. - Marcel: Yeah, before sports.

It means the sports are starting.

Dean: What kind of sports do you watch?

They like running after balls or squash them.

Kicking.

Put them over, like, a net sometimes, they do that.

But the net is a hole, so it comes right out.

Right, so it's just like, why do you put it back in?

- Connie: It's really strange. - Marcel: I do notice,

I think, that she's definitely been eating better.

Connie: Mmm. My favorite.

Nope, not for you.

Bup. Nan, you really...

Did you just eat that whole thing?

Connie: Oh, yes, of course. I love shish kebab.

- Marcel: Wow. - Dean: No, we're still friends.

Connie: Why did you divorce her? Was your wife...

Dean: She's great. We just grew apart.

- Dean: You okay? - I'm totally fine.

- Marcel: Are you sure? - Dean: Maybe you should be resting or...

- Nan, maybe we'll think of... - Who decided to leave?

- You or her? - Dean: It was pretty mutual.

You don't fool me. It's never mutual.

Marcel: And she's... she's got some of her color back.

Connie: You're broken. You're making

- this documentary to... - Marcel: Oh, my...

So you don't have to think of her?

Is that why? 'Cause he's heartbroken.

Are you heartbroken, Dean?

He's laughing, so maybe he's not so heartbroken.

Look at her. She's just completely

- bounced back. It's like... - Completely.

- 100%. - Marcel: Wow.

I hope I get that... those genes.

Connie: Because...

Marcel: I mean, that's not part of the deal.

Connie: Do you want me to be happy?

- Marcel: Yeah. - Connie: Do the interview.

Dean: She got you there.

Marcel: All right. For you.

Connie: I like you brave.

Come on.

Dean: Two...

Uh, six... over to the left, yeah.

Eight.

And nowjust the green button.

Boom, baby.

You got this.

Woman: CBS.

Oh, uh... hello?

- Dean: Put it on speaker. - Hello?

Hello, is this...

- Hello? - Is this shari?

- Yes, it is! Is this... - Hi, shari, uh, this is Marcel.

This is Dean. I'm also on the line.

Hi, nice to speak with you guys.

- Nice to speak with you. - Um...

- Sorry. Go ahead. - Oh, I'm sorry.

I just said it was...

That it's also nice to speak with you as well.

Shari: It's nice to talk to you, too.

He was acting calm and collected,

and I knew he was, like,

the front, Mr. Serious face, Mr. Cucumber,

but inside, butterflies.

Shari: Absolutely, yes.

Talk about your family and your search to find them.

Sometimes we'll learn something as we're shooting,

and that can lead to new discoveries.

- Dean: Mmm-hmm. - And, uh, do you think it's...

It's a possibility that something could,

uh, come from...

Yeah, I mean, there's no promises,

but if you have information, we'll see where...

Where our reporting leads.

Um, and, Dean, one other thing I wanted to ask you is,

you know, I think it might be really interesting

to interview you as part of the story as well.

Is that something that you're comfortable with?

Uh, I don't know.

I mean, I'm generally behind the camera.

Marcel: Ah! Ah!

Somebody doesn't wanna do it. Oh!

Dean: Uh, I'll get back to you on it. How about that?

Marcel: Hmm?

This is a little doorbell.

Good morning, nan.

Nan?

Huh.

Just one second.

Good morning, nan.

- Today's the day. - Connie: Yes.

Oh, nan.

Oh, no, I'm fine. I was just going to...

Are you sure that's... Does it hurt still or...

No, just stiff.

Getting better already. Look, look.

All right.

I'm gonna grab you some water.

- Oh, thank you. - Mmm-hmm.

Got your water here.

Ice-cold, thirst-quenching water.

Who wants it? A water, water, who wants a water?

Thank you, marcello.

You're welcome.

Quite a day for Lesley stahl.

There's definitely a storm rolling in.

I can feel it.

I can feel it because my shell feels tight.

Do I seem nervous?

- Dean: It's okay to be nervous. - Marcel: Ugh.

Dean: Let me get that.

Marcel: Yeah, I guess.

Uh...

I...

- Is that... - Dean: What? What is it?

Marcel: That's the shish kebab from the other night.

Where is she? Do you know where she is?

Nana.

- Connie: You took away my vote. - You didn't ask me.

- Marcel: - I can't believe you lied.

- You lied to me, nan. - Connie: You took my...

- You wrote me off. - I did not write you off.

Connie: Did you ask me? No, you didn't.

- So? - You just said no

to 60 minutes, end of story.

I made a decision for your health 'cause I was worried

about you.

Dean: Should I get the door?

Connie: That's what I want.

Marcel: Well, I... I want that too,

- but this is... - Connie: All I want...

- Marcel: Nan. - Connie: All I want

is for you to try.

- I want you... - Marcel: No...

Nan...

Connie: It's a big wide world.

Marcel: I don't wanna lose everything

in the hope of something. That's already gone.

Connie: You break my heart if you don't.

Crew: Hello?

Dean: You can tell 'em we need to cancel

if you want to do that.

Marcel: Well, what's the option?

- Connie: Dean? - Dean: Mmm-hmm?

Connie: Please, can you shut up?

- Marcello... - Yes?

Let's forget about being afraid.

- Uh... - Is Lesley afraid?

Mmm, no, Lesley is fearless.

It may be good, it may be not,

but just take the adventure.

Don't use me as an excuse not to live. Hmm?

But what if...

What if everything changes...

Again?

Marcello, oh...

Yeah.

It will.

Come here.

Marcel: Okay, well... let's do it.

Connie: Come on, go, go.

Marcel: Yeah.

Dean: Hello. Come in!

Hi, it's so nice to meet you.

Dean: It's good to finally meet you.

- You're shari, I presume? - You have a camera.

- Dean: Oh, I do have a camera. - Okay, then.

Dean: Is that okay? Can I film while you guys

- are setting up? - Shari: Sure, sure.

- Dean: Yeah? That's great. - Marcel: Whoa.

Those gentlemen were not wearing bee-odorant.

- Marcel: Whoa, whoa! Whoa! - Connie: Whoa!

- Did you see that? - Marcel: I did.

Connie: Just those boxes walking.

And then behind them, there were men.

Marcel: Look at ponytail over here

looking around for the bathroom.

Trying to act like it's not an emergency.

It's over there!

Connie: What are you... What are you doing to him?

Makeup artist: Now, I'm just sort of giving Marcel

a little bit of bronzer just to kind of warm up.

Marcel: That tickles.

Makeup artist: I'm just gonna do a little bit here.

Oh.

- Sorry, I spit on you. - Close... that's okay. Close your mouth.

Marcel: Hey, now look, now he's on TV.

Okay, but now he's back in real life.

This guy over here, look. Real life, on TV.

Oh, look at that one.

That's toolbelt.

Connie: And that one?

Marcel: That's just Mr. Headphones.

Makeup artist: Do you wanna see what you look like?

- Oh, my god. - Don't you look rested?

Yeah, I look like I, like, only drink olive oil.

This guy over here, look.

- Real life, on TV. - Marcello, look.

Woman: Good. How was your flight?

It was okay.

- Yeah? - You know, long.

All right, well, we have a fun day...

Nana, make the noise.

Connie: Tik-tik-tik-tik-tik- tik—tik-tik-tik-tik-tik—tik...

All these stories and more

- on 60 minutes. - 60 minutes. Tik-tik, tik-tik.

Woman: Marcel, can I get you to stand in real quick?

Oh, yes. Uh, nan, uh, are you gonna be...

- Go, go. Yes, of course. Go. - Okay.

- Go. - Coming through.

Woman: I'll bring him right back.

- Connie: Yeah. - Marcel: Be right back.

Goodbye.

On real life,

On TV.

Wow, I think, uh... yeah.

I think that's the brightest thing I've ever seen.

Connie: I... I know that you like

these kind of things for your movie.

- It might... might be good. - Dean: Mmm.

I found this the other day.

Mmm... here it is.

It's about season changing.

This book... this book I had for many, many years.

But I had not noticed

this... this part that I would like to read you.

Dean: Please.

"The trees are coming into leaf

"like something almost being said..."

Woman: All right, guys, five to four minutes.

Four minutes, everybody.

Connie: "The recent buds relax and spread,

"their greenness is a kind of grief."

Woman: Let's reset. Let's go to one, please.

Connie: "Is it that they are born again

"and we grow old? No, they die too..."

Oh, hello. Hello. You are beautiful.

"Their yearly trick of looking new

"is written down in rings of grain."

- Woman: Sound, please. - Man: Quiet on the set.

- Woman: And Mark. - Camera b marker.

- Woman: And we're rolling. - Rolling.

When you're ready.

Connie: "Yet still the unresting castles thresh

"in fullgrown thickness every may."

Not ready, no, I'll stay.

Well, if you insist.

"Last year is dead, they seem to say..."

Slow down, come on.

"Begin afresh..."

Wait for me. Wait for me.

Afresh, afresh."

- Woman: Shari, done? - Shari: Yep.

We're done.

All right, everybody. That's a wrap on Marcel!

Dean: I think they had to get to the outlet,

but we can get them to move it back.

Marcel: Yeah, but if something moved and nobody noticed

Nana Connie, she could be behind something.

Nan?

I just... sometimes she goes to the toilet

and sits on the rim.

Nan?

- You checked her room, yeah? - Dean: No.

Yeah, do you want... I mean, should we go over...

Marcel: Oh, yeah, yeah.

Next...

Hmm.

Dean: I'm glad I got to meet her.

Marcel: Me, too.

She probably felt tired.

Especially after being very excited.

Have you ever done that before,

like, when there's a party in your house?

Sometimes it's easiest to rest

when you go off by yourself

and you can still hear the noise of the party,

and you feel safe knowing that so many people are around...

- Dean: Yeah. - That you can have a rest?

Dean: Mmm-hmm.

That's good. And now this one.

She was exactly what you would want a grandmother to be.

She had a... a vibrant past,

and a colorful personality,

and she didn't get sanded down By life.

Man: Hello!

- Dean: Hi. - Man: Hi.

Why're you in the tree?

- Dean: Sorry? - Man: That's my tree.

- Dean: This is yours? - Man: Yeah.

Dean: Oh, I'm sorry. It looked like it was on hers.

Man: Nope.

Dean: Well, do you mind if I stay up here for a minute?

- I'm just... it's a short... - Man: I do mind.

I don't have insurance

for whatever you're doing up there.

Dean: Okay, coming down. Sorry.

- Okay. - Man: You fall,

something happens, I'm liable.

What is it that you're actually...

Is it... not with a studio

- or, uh... - Dean: No.

Marcel: Whoa, all right.

Okay, and I made her look like an everything bagel.

Perfect.

Ow, darn it.

It doesn't seem to...

No, no.

No.

Nope.

I don't know what you want.

I can't help you. I don't know what it is,

and she's not here, so you gotta...

Go.

Hey.

- Dean: How you doing? - Marcel: Mmm, good morning.

Dean: Can you teach me a song?

Marcel: I... all I... I don't know...

Dean: J“ I wanna linger

Will you do it?

Marcel: Do you wanna do the mmm-mmms?

Dean: Sure.

J“ mmm, mmm

j“ I wanna linger

Dean: J“ mmm

well, you're really not singing the note at all.

J'ah, ah j“

- you can't sing any notes. - No, I can't. But how do I do it?

Well, I can't teach you how to sing.

You do it, and then I'll copy you.

J“ mmm, mmm

Dean: J“ mmm, mmm

no.

Okay, you...

Dean: J“ mmm, mmm

j“ I wanna linger

Dean: J“ mmm

no.

I really don't know what to do with you.

I gotta say...

Dean: J“ mmm, mmm

j“ I wanna linger

-immm - j“ a little longer

-immm - j“ a little longer here with you

j“ mmm, mmm

no, none of those are the right notes.

Do you like sitting halfway on a chair?

Dean: J“ mmm, mmm

uh, yeah, go home and think about it.

This is unbelievable.

Dean: What can I do to practice?

Marcel: She just kept everything.

So, are...

So where you... you gonna go now?

Dean: What?

- Marcel: Aren't you leaving? - No.

- Marcel: No? Oh. - No, why would I do that?

Marcel: Well, I guess 'cause of the suitcase and...

Dean: Oh, no. I'm just looking for my tie.

Marcel: Oh. Oh.

Dean: Where am I gonna go?

Marcel: I don't know.

Dean: You're it, baby.

Oh, okay.

Shari: Hey, Dean. Hey, Marcel.

This is shari from 60 minutes.

Um, I wanted to let you know that the interview went great.

We've been looking at the footage

and I'm wondering if you would be willing to do

another day of shooting with us.

So, um, we've made some discoveries

that I'd love to share with you.

It's kinda all happening fast, so if you could get back to me

as soon as you get this message,

I would really appreciate it.

Um, hope to talk to you soon. Bye.

Good things come in small packages...

An old idea, but one you'll see tonight in a new light.

In the only interview he's given

since becoming an Internet phenom,

Marcel the shell shares his unique perspective

on what we take for granted.

He adds new meanings to the simplest of ideas.

Marcel, a 1 inch-tall shell,

reminds us of the true value of community,

the transformative power of friendship,

and the most ingenious use for a tennis ball.

Marcel: But you do wanna make sure

that your parking space is, like, perfectly flat,

because otherwise, it's not gonna be where you left it.

And... and I don't have the model...

Lesley: For years, Marcel and his grandmother Connie

shared this old house with their pet lint, Alan,

and an ever-changing array of human guests.

I just stay out of their way and...

And stay out of sight, and it worked.

Lesley: But all that changed

when an amateur filmmaker moved in.

So kind of on all the time. And so, I felt like

I could just roll and roll and roll.

Um, Dean, what were your first impressions?

Uh, I guess I was impressed with his, um,

pizzazz...

- His spark, you know? - Marcel: Wow.

Uh, pfft.

No, I... I like it.

And maybe you needed...

Needed the connection, needed the friendship.

Yeah, maybe you needed the friendship.

Marcel, how long has it been since you've seen your family?

Well, I don't do the clock

the way that you guys do the clock.

- Right. - Uh, but I think

I'm watching the changes in the trees and

the flowers that have bloomed

and the blossoms that have fallen.

The buds that have come and bloomed again.

Sol... I couldn't tell you, but I, uh...

The space in my heart gets bigger and louder every day.

Mmm. Dean, do you know how long?

It was two years.

- Two years. - Dean: Yeah.

Marcel: Oh, that's nice to know.

Lesley: Given all the new information Marcel shared with us...

Marcel: And he had just, like the same kind of man face,

like two eyes, that kind of thing.

A mouth and all the teeth.

Lesley: We were able to track down Larissa geller.

We found her here in the highlands of Guatemala

working for an environmental ngo.

Geller then returned home

and helped us locate this man,

her former boyfriend, Mark booth.

I don't even wanna do this. You're really putting me in a tough spot here...

- All right, I'll see you soon. - Come on.

- Okay, bye. - This is ridiculous.

Wait, are you still...

Lesley: After some brief introductions...

- Larissa: This is Mark. - Mark: Hey, sorry.

It's kind of messy. I'm just sort of...

- So I was cleaning earlier. - Dean: Right.

Lesley: The search efforts began.

- Marcel: I mean, [don't know. - This is...

I don't even know where else to look.

I honestly don't know what to do. I don't know the area.

This is definitely the bag.

So that... that is good news.

I'm not gonna get... I'm not gonna start to feel down...

Lesley: And then Marcel heard a familiar sound.

Mark: Yeah, and then you just came over...

Lesley: What our crew heard was an argument.

You were on all of the emails...

Lesley: But what Marcel heard...

Was the sounding of an alarm.

- I'm a child? - Yes.

Oh, dur, the sock drawer. Did we check the sock drawer?

Lesley: An alarm he knew would send

any shells into a shelter plan.

Marcel: Geez, it's over here!

Hey, guys! Over here! Over here, I need a boost.

Hey, I need to get to the top. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Open the top drawers, somebody.

- Be careful. - Be very, very careful.

Open, open. Careful.

Lesley: What followed was something we rarely see.

A family reuniting.

J“ I like the way sparkling earrings lay

j“ against your skin so brown

j“ and I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight

j“ with a million stars all around

j“ 'cause I got a peaceful

j“ easy feeling

j“ and I know you won't let me down

j“ 'cause I'm already standing...

Catherine: Marcel was always a performer.

He always wanted to, um...

Always wanted to be on stage, make people happy and smile.

- Mario: Mmm. - And as his mother...

- Marcel: - J“ I get this feeling

j“ I may know you

Sorry.

Marcel: Oh, mom.

Dean: Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, I told you, you're gonna get right into the real stuff.

Dean: Oh, yeah. Okay.

Uh, well, we can do this thing,

pick it up later or...

Let's talk about something else.

Catherine: Talk to Mario for a minute.

Marcel: It's really hard. Do you see?

Catherine: Mario.

Yeah. I'm... I'm sorry.

I was thinking about something else.

And that's us in a nutshell.

Mario: Yeah, I just... I just was being...

Marcel: J“ this voice keeps whispering

j“ in my other ear

j“ tells me I may never see you again

most of the innovations

nan and I came up with, you know,

they're just not necessary anymore.

Shells: Ho! One, two, three, ho!

Shell: All right, blue!

Marcel: Then again, some of them have really taken off.

J“ ...And I know you won't let me down

j“ 'cause I'm already standing

j“ yes, I'm already standing

j“ yes, I'm already standing

j“ on the ground j“

Okay. Thank you very much.

Shell 1: Look at you.

I missed your little face, Marcel.

Shell 2: I missed you so much. I just want to squeeze you.

Marcel: Um, I'm just moving on.

Mr. Costas: More so, I cried from the beauty.

Aw, Mr. Costas, you're making me blush.

Okay, but just put your weight on the front foot

- and then you unstick the back one. - Justin: Yeah, yeah, I can do it.

Marcel: I know. Right, but you have to keep doing it.

Justin: I'm fine.

Marcel: Well, all right, but do you see what's happening?

- Justin: I know. - Marcel: Okay.

She is really good, especially for such a little one.

But you know what it is?

She has that thing that's like when you're young,

you have no fear 'cause you haven't injured yourself yet,

and you don't even know what risk is.

You just zoom around all the time.

Marcel, I'm being patient.

- Okay. - Marcel, come on.

If you're trying to be patient...

Come out here with me, and shake that little tush.

- Come on. - I will.

I really promise I will take a turn around the rink.

- I'm just kind of observing. - Dean, Dean, Dean, Dean.

- Dean: Yeah? - Please.

This is the stock that I come from.

- Susan: Dean. - You can see a direct line

to Nana Connie with this one.

Susan: Could you tell your friend Marcel

I'm not gonna wait forever, please?

Wow.

Dean: It's nice to see you back with everyone.

Marcel: Yeah.

You know, you're welcome back here any time you want.

- Dean: Thanks. - Mmm-hmm.

Dean: You're welcome to my house any time you want.

You don't have a house.

Dean: I will soon.

- I signed a lease. - Susan: Pay attention.

- Each of you... - Oh. Well, then, I accept.

Susan: One, two, three.

Little shell 1: Come on, Marcel. Come on. Let's go.

We're going ice skating.

Little shell 2: We're going on the ice skating rink.

Marcel: Yeah, I saw you skating before.

It is different now after living alone for so long.

I find that sometimes being in a big group is...

Justin: This is what I wanna be doing. I want to slide down.

Marcel: Good. I didn't know that that's what you were

trying to do. I thought you were asking me how I...

Marcel: Can be overwhelming to me.

Marcel: You guys, there's... I need to learn.

I needed somewhere that I could come and just...

I found myself coming down here more and more.

Such a lovely smell from the dryer sheets.

And I... I like it because

there's a window

that is always opened a little crack there.

I would stand there,

and sometimes I'd tell her things, ask for advice,

or just let sounds come out of my mouth.

And one day, I was just sitting,

and the wind blew in,

and it blew just over the top of my head in such a way.

And the wind blew over,

and it made a beautiful whistling sound.

Dean: What kind of noise is it?

Wait, shh, shh. Listen.

Can you hear it?

That's it. That's going through my shell.

It felt just like her to lead me to a place

where I would experience something new and special.

It connected me how I felt like to everything,

because if! Wasn't there, the sound never would exist.

And I felt like everything was in pieces,

and then I stood there,

and suddenly, we were one large instrument.

I like to go there a lot

because it reminds me

that I'm not just one separate piece

rattling around in this place,

but that I'm part of a whole.

And I truly enjoy the sound of myself

connected to everything.

Dean: I'm gonna let him out. Are you ready?

Marcel: All right. Release the hounds!

Come on, do it.

I'm actually really excited to see him.

Dean: Here it comes.

Marcel: Hi, bud! Oh, boo-boo. Come here, bubba.

How are you, pal?

Dean: Aw, he remembers you!

Marcel: Ah! Ugh. Ew.

Dean: Oh, you remember Marcel?

Marcel: Oh, you smell. Oh, my goodness.

He has a new smell. It's... is he sick?

Dean: I switched him to wet food,

and it's made his breath go crazy.

It is a very dense, very rich aroma.

- Dean: Arthur! - Marcel: Wow.

So, you guys got wet dog food.

- Dean: Yeah. - Marcel: You got a balcony.

- Yeah, we got the cool view. - Marcel: That's nice.

I see you have some flowers here.

Dean: Oh, yeah. They're nice.

They're from, uh, a bike path.

There's a bike path that goes in front of my place.

Marcel: Uh-huh. Who gave you these flowers?

Dean: No one gave them to me.

- Marcel: Really? - Dean: Yeah.

- Marcel: Okay. - Dean: I picked them myself.

Marcel: Oh, really? 'Cause we had a garden

at our place. I never saw you picking any flowers.

Dean: I wanted to make the place nice.

A friend was coming over.

- Marcel: Ah, a friend. - Dean: Yes, [had a friend.

Marcel: What kind of a friend?

- Dean: She is a girl. - Marcel: Really?

Dean: Would you like to see the rest of the apartment?

Marcel: Would you like to change the subject?

Yes, I want to see it.

- Dean: Hop on. - Marcel: Oh, thanks.

Dean: All right, so, here's my room.

Marcel: Oh! More flowers in there, huh?

Dean: Yeah, more flowers in here.

Marcel: Hit... hitting that bike path pretty hard.

Dean: Actually, those are from the farmer's market.
