00:01:29You are the one who asked to use the art room this summer to finish your junior art collective project and your former English teacher got you permission, remember?
00:01:38How's that going, by the way?
00:01:39I still have a few weeks to figure it out.
00:01:42All right, sleepyhead. Riding or biking, I can't be late.
00:01:46I don't need to give my co-workers another reason to whisper behind my back.
00:01:50Fine. I'm up.
00:01:53But your co-workers need to get a life.
00:01:56They mean well.
00:01:57You know that.
00:01:59Well, some of them. Rise and shine. We're leaving in 20.
00:02:02Honey.
00:02:32Oh, looks like someone's slacking on the job.
00:02:39Says the man who rolls in at 10.35 a.m.
00:02:42Wasn't that early?
00:02:44Wow, you're looking very refreshed, though, Chris.
00:02:46Thank you, John.
00:02:48It is the beauty of senior management.
00:02:50Something you would know about if you would take my advice and apply.
00:02:54Come on, give it a shot.
00:02:56I could use your Ph.D. on my team.
00:02:58I never got my Ph.D., remember?
00:03:00Yes, I do.
00:03:01Sorry.
00:03:01We had that conversation, didn't we?
00:03:02Yeah, sore spot. Sorry.
00:03:04Your expertise, then.
00:03:05And give up on the dream?
00:03:07You mean birding against your ex to win some local bird-a-thon trophy?
00:03:11Is that the dream?
00:03:12Because, yeah.
00:03:13Okay, well, my ex aside, the big dream is to win.
00:03:19Yeah.
00:03:20So I can get the prestige push.
00:03:23Oh, prestige.
00:03:25Yeah.
00:03:25Do you mean press?
00:03:27Well, yeah, that too.
00:03:28Hmm.
00:03:29So I can start my own guiding business.
00:03:34You're obsessed.
00:03:35Look, I know it's hard for you to understand, but I gotta give it one last shot.
00:03:40Otherwise, I'm all in.
00:03:45Here.
00:03:47I guess I gotta be all in somewhere, right?
00:03:48I can't keep straddling both.
00:03:50All right, James Bond.
00:03:52If you complete your mission, then great.
00:03:54Get after it.
00:03:55But if you don't, I'm coming after you.
00:03:58You fact-checked me, didn't you?
00:03:59Yeah.
00:04:01Google confirmed your proclamation that the real James Bond was indeed a birder.
00:04:05Thank you very much.
00:04:06Leave it to Ian Fleming to make burning cool.
00:04:09I wouldn't go that far.
00:04:12But I am pulling for you.
00:04:13Appreciate it.
00:04:15Back to work.
00:04:16No favoritism here.
00:04:17And this is your final assignment for the summer term.
00:04:29So, I want you to pick a novel that explores a complex theme.
00:04:35It can be the American dream, social injustice, the nature of good versus evil.
00:04:40It's up to you.
00:04:41But whatever you choose, I want it to spark something.
00:04:44Speak to this next chapter.
00:04:46Your next chapter in life.
00:04:49Basically, just let it be more than an assignment.
00:04:52Okay?
00:04:53And have a great weekend.
00:04:55It is gorgeous out there.
00:04:56Bye.
00:04:58Great work on that project.
00:05:01Bye, guys.
00:05:01Hey, you.
00:05:06Pizza Friday.
00:05:07I was thinking we could bring back the Hawaiian for old time's sake.
00:05:10What do you say?
00:05:11I'm going to the movies with some friends.
00:05:13Remember?
00:05:13I do not remember you saying that.
00:05:16Sorry, I thought I did.
00:05:18They're picking me up from here.
00:05:19We're going shopping.
00:05:20And then to the movies?
00:05:22No, but that's okay.
00:05:23Don't worry.
00:05:23I just have barely seen you all week.
00:05:26We live together.
00:05:26You know what I mean.
00:05:28But there's always tomorrow.
00:05:29Just text me so I know when you'll be coming home, okay?
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:39Celeste, wait up.
00:05:40Hi.
00:05:41I was just talking about you.
00:05:42Or we were.
00:05:43Yeah?
00:05:43Is it good or bad?
00:05:44I was talking to my cousin Doug.
00:05:46You remember Doug, right?
00:05:47No.
00:05:47Sorry.
00:05:47Should I?
00:05:48I'm pretty sure I told you about him.
00:05:50Not ringing any bells.
00:05:51Well, he's also going through a super recent and really unfortunate divorce.
00:05:56Mine wasn't that recent.
00:05:58Yeah, but a year isn't that long either.
00:06:00Especially when they say it takes twice as long to get over someone.
00:06:03Or is it half the time?
00:06:04Considering we were together for 22 years, let's hope it's the latter.
00:06:08Either way, he wants to meet you.
00:06:10Not before she meets my BFF from college, Andrea.
00:06:15Are you trying to set up Alan again?
00:06:17He is a very successful dentist.
00:06:19A little arrogant, sure, but you didn't respond to my text.
00:06:22Oh, Layla, I'm so sorry.
00:06:23I meant to.
00:06:24I've just been very busy with, you know?
00:06:28No?
00:06:28Just helping Morgan get ready for college.
00:06:31There's so many decisions to make.
00:06:33She's got so many meal plan options.
00:06:35There's vegan, paleo, keto.
00:06:37You'd be surprised how many...
00:06:39Oh, Eva!
00:06:40There you are!
00:06:41So sorry to keep you waiting.
00:06:43What are you talking about?
00:06:44You weren't.
00:06:44You are so understanding.
00:06:45I know we're already late.
00:06:47We've got to go, but thank you for thinking of me, and we'll talk soon.
00:06:50Just keep walking.
00:06:50Okay, bye.
00:06:51Text me.
00:06:52I'll talk to you about Doug.
00:06:53Alan.
00:07:00Thanks for the afternoon pick, Mia.
00:07:02Thank you for the rescue earlier.
00:07:04At least it was more propositional than pitying this time.
00:07:07And it's hard to say which one I prefer.
00:07:10I mean, a dentist.
00:07:12Just think how white your teeth will be.
00:07:13Very funny.
00:07:14You're lucky you're my best friend.
00:07:15I know.
00:07:18So, what are we doing this weekend?
00:07:21Should we grab a drink?
00:07:23Or do yoga?
00:07:24Unless you'd have plans.
00:07:26My only plans are to organize my garage.
00:07:30What?
00:07:31It really needs it.
00:07:32Okay.
00:07:33No.
00:07:34Love you, Celeste, but you need to get out there, like, now.
00:07:37Please don't say date.
00:07:38I don't care if it's speed dating, or skydiving, or water painting, even.
00:07:42You just need to get out of the house and try something new and have some fun.
00:07:45Organizing is fun.
00:07:47I do not accept that.
00:07:49Fine.
00:07:50But what if I don't remember what is anymore?
00:07:53What's fun?
00:07:54Yeah, I haven't asked myself that question in decades.
00:07:56That's because you're 100% focused on your family unit.
00:07:59And yet, Rick cheated anyway.
00:08:03You know how I feel about that.
00:08:06It's a whole new chapter.
00:08:07Yes, this is your time now.
00:08:10You need to do something a little crazy, you know?
00:08:12Just wake yourself up.
00:08:13It's time.
00:08:13Which is why.
00:08:14Oh.
00:08:15Oh, no.
00:08:16Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:08:17I thought that was later.
00:08:18What was later?
00:08:19The spa party, which sounds like it would be super relaxing,
00:08:22but it's actually this really intense fundraiser for my grandpa's community center,
00:08:25and I can't miss it.
00:08:26Why would you miss it?
00:08:28Birding.
00:08:29You're birding?
00:08:31Why is that so unbelievable?
00:08:32Just you, like quiet notebook binoculars kind of thing.
00:08:36Well, I'm supposed to be as a favorite to this really nice guy from my pickleball group.
00:08:41It's an annual contest, but, you know, now I...
00:08:44This is Eva.
00:08:46Yes, I just got the reminder, and I will absolutely be at your fundraiser.
00:08:53Do you mind confirming our table?
00:08:55After all.
00:08:56Oh, I feel terrible.
00:08:58Just get someone to fill in for you.
00:08:59I'm pretty sure you're not a birding expert.
00:09:01It's just for a day.
00:09:03You should totally take my spot.
00:09:05Yeah, I think they need to be paired up.
00:09:07I don't know if it's like an accountability thing or something, but...
00:09:09That is not what I meant.
00:09:10Why would I do that?
00:09:11Do you love birds and animals?
00:09:13Oh, and my friend...
00:09:14Yes, there's a table reserved for our group.
00:09:16It should be under Mount Muir.
00:09:19Yes.
00:09:19My friend John desperately needs a partner because his girlfriend, who's apparently this, like,
00:09:25beautiful but cold-hearted genius, just cheated on him with some professor, and now
00:09:30those two are birding together as a couple.
00:09:32And I thought Rick was bad.
00:09:34Well, apparently Brina and Laszlo are much worse, which is why I offered to step in,
00:09:39but if you could do it...
00:09:42Yeah, that's correct.
00:09:43There's a kind of us.
00:09:44But you're not trying to set me up, right?
00:09:47No.
00:09:47I'm pretty sure you're both in the romance's dead-to-me zone, and I'm not sure that he's
00:09:50over his ex, so yeah.
00:09:52No, he just can't enter alone, and I was happy to role-play for him.
00:09:55Yeah, still here.
00:09:56Role-play?
00:09:57So you were going to, what, pretend to be his girlfriend for the contest?
00:10:00Yes.
00:10:01Yes?
00:10:03I know it's a little unusual, but you'd between me and John the biggest favor.
00:10:09He is the sweetest guy.
00:10:11He's a little quiet, but, you know, it's still more fun than organizing your garage.
00:10:14He does sound like he's in an awful position.
00:10:18Would this count as my something crazy?
00:10:21Yes, absolutely.
00:10:23Fine.
00:10:24Then I'll do it.
00:10:25Really?
00:10:26Oh, you want to go over the auction items, like, right now?
00:10:28Great.
00:10:29I gotta go.
00:10:30I'm going to have him text you all of the information.
00:10:32You are the best, and, um, you know, just have fun with it.
00:10:35Okay.
00:10:39Pretending to be someone's girlfriend.
00:10:43I've officially entered my midlife crisis.
00:10:45What are you doing?
00:10:59Hmm.
00:11:24Hey.
00:11:25Well, I know you were deciding between Kingfisher Kanzos and deductions, but I, for one, I'm glad you went with the latter.
00:11:33Plus, the team name fits so much better.
00:11:37I definitely feel like there's more activity this year.
00:11:40Well, let's hope so, for your sake.
00:11:43You mean ours?
00:11:44I already have tenure.
00:11:46Well, I'm not sure this competition will get you there.
00:11:49Not yet, but every win is a resume boost.
00:11:52Oh, excuse me.
00:11:55Hi, hi there.
00:11:57Hi.
00:11:57Am I in the right place to check in?
00:11:59Yes, welcome.
00:12:00I'm Linda Sanchez, president of the NorCal Ornithological Society.
00:12:04And you are?
00:12:04Celeste.
00:12:05I'm waiting for my partner, John.
00:12:07Keller?
00:12:08Mm-hmm.
00:12:10Oh, so is John competing this year after all?
00:12:13Yes.
00:12:13He should be here any minute.
00:12:15Well, Brina, too bad you're competing against John this year.
00:12:19This is Celeste, John's new birding partner.
00:12:22We'll be fine.
00:12:22Nice to meet you.
00:12:23Likewise.
00:12:24And we can just say partner, you know, in the general sense, just to simplify.
00:12:28Just cover all the bases.
00:12:31Celeste?
00:12:31Hi.
00:12:32You made it.
00:12:33Hi, sweetie.
00:12:34Oh.
00:12:35Oh.
00:12:36John.
00:12:37So good to see you.
00:12:39Yeah, you too, Linda.
00:12:40Um, let me get your T-shirts.
00:12:42Okay.
00:12:43I wasn't sure you'd be competing this year.
00:12:45Well, I couldn't let you just run away with it now, could I?
00:12:48Wouldn't be fair.
00:12:49Even if a win would look good towards your ten-year goal.
00:12:52I only want to win fairly.
00:12:55I'm surprised to see that you're already seeing someone.
00:12:58Excuse me?
00:12:59You're right.
00:12:59None of my business.
00:13:03It's okay.
00:13:04We're just happy to compete.
00:13:06John?
00:13:13Maslow?
00:13:17Well, we should probably go get our gear.
00:13:19I'm a bit newer to birding, so I want to make sure I have everything.
00:13:22Of course.
00:13:23Good luck.
00:13:24Yeah.
00:13:24You, you, too?
00:13:28Huh.
00:13:29What was that?
00:13:31Celeste Johanson, your friendly fake date to the rescue.
00:13:35No?
00:13:37That's not what I'm here for?
00:13:39You're here for a fake date?
00:13:42So, wait, let me get this straight.
00:13:44Eva was going to pretend to be my girlfriend?
00:13:46I love Eva.
00:13:47She's so sweet.
00:13:47She is helpful.
00:13:49Up for anything?
00:13:50And always trying to be in a million places at once, which is how you got stuck with me.
00:13:54I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
00:13:58And Brina.
00:13:59Oh, so you, you heard the whole story?
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:05I should be the one apologizing to you.
00:14:07You came all the way out here on a Saturday morning, you know, when you could have been sleeping in.
00:14:12Or organizing my garage.
00:14:15Either way, it's fine.
00:14:16I get the whole bad breakup betrayal thing.
00:14:19I recently had one myself after 22 years.
00:14:2222 years?
00:14:23I'm sorry.
00:14:25So is that, is that why you, you jumped in to help?
00:14:28Maybe.
00:14:28Probably.
00:14:29As absurd as that sounds.
00:14:31It sounds kind.
00:14:36You don't have to do this, you know, this is...
00:14:39I'm not going to leave now.
00:14:40Besides, I like birds.
00:14:42I like the ones that fly, make eggs.
00:14:45Is that, uh, the extent of your, your bird knowledge?
00:14:48Pretty much.
00:14:48Okay.
00:14:49But I am a quick learner and an eager student, so take it or leave it.
00:14:55Definitely take it.
00:14:59Do you come here often?
00:15:01As a matter of fact, I do.
00:15:04It's beautiful.
00:15:06Pretty great spot, right?
00:15:07Mm-hmm.
00:15:07There you two lovebirds are.
00:15:11I feel like these came out pretty well.
00:15:13Despite the long name, patient listening.
00:15:15Is that our name?
00:15:16You didn't know?
00:15:19I wanted it to be a surprise.
00:15:20Although, I thought that you might have wanted to establish something a little bit more aggressive.
00:15:26Seeing as Spring Lake Sporting Goods is a sponsor this year.
00:15:28The prize money is enough to launch your own birding business.
00:15:32If that's the plan.
00:15:33You want to start your own birding business?
00:15:37I feel like there's a lot of surprises here.
00:15:41You know, I just...
00:15:42I didn't want to put too much pressure on Celeste.
00:15:46We're just here having fun.
00:15:47Are we?
00:15:47Well, hopefully it'll be fun and successful.
00:15:52Good luck.
00:15:53Thanks, Linda.
00:15:56So, this is bigger than wanting to not lose face in front of your ex.
00:16:01Well, there's never been a big corporate sponsor like this before to give us more press or a five-figure prize.
00:16:08How steep's the competition?
00:16:10Well, every year there's been a lot of great teams, but Brina and I have won it the last three years in a row, so it's definitely doable.
00:16:17Okay, then.
00:16:17Okay.
00:16:21Yeah.
00:16:23Good morning, everyone.
00:16:24I am thrilled to welcome you all here today to kick off our annual contest, the NorCal Ornithology Birdathon.
00:16:32That's too much to ask.
00:16:36No.
00:16:37Besides, we cannot let the cheaters win.
00:16:39To all of our new birders, welcome.
00:16:42And to our returning competitors, welcome back.
00:16:45You're really up for it.
00:16:45The birding.
00:16:47The fake dating.
00:16:48Apparently, I need to step out of my comfort zone.
00:16:51So, here we are.
00:16:52Biggest cash prize ever.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:55And so, it's with immense excitement and gratitude for your involvement.
00:17:00I can do anything for one day.
00:17:03That I declare our three-week birdathon officially underway.
00:17:08I'm sorry.
00:17:09I'm sorry.
00:17:11Did she just say three weeks?
00:17:15You still in?
00:17:18You're going to love it.
00:17:19I need you to fill me in on all the rules.
00:17:27What to buy, what to read.
00:17:29I want to be as prepared as possible.
00:17:31Of course.
00:17:32And you will be.
00:17:34But, before we get to any of that, why don't you...
00:17:39Here.
00:17:41Take a look right there, okay?
00:17:44Tell me what you see.
00:17:44I see a tree.
00:17:50That's a good start.
00:17:52With leaves.
00:17:53Okay, now look.
00:17:54Between the leaves.
00:17:55What do you see between the leaves?
00:18:00Nothing's out there.
00:18:03Okay.
00:18:04Okay, that's...
00:18:05That's totally fun.
00:18:06So far, we've seen, what, five birds?
00:18:08And three of those birds are the same as the first one, the white cat...
00:18:11The white crown sparrow.
00:18:13The white crown sparrow.
00:18:13Oh, yes.
00:18:14Exactly.
00:18:15But we're three minutes in.
00:18:16We're already behind.
00:18:17We're doing a total bird species count over the next three weekends.
00:18:20Anywhere?
00:18:21Well, the greater Marin and Sonoma County area, which is not insignificant when it comes to habitats.
00:18:27So, we have time.
00:18:29Then why is everyone rushing around?
00:18:33I'd say they're just getting started.
00:18:36You know, everyone comes out of the gate differently.
00:18:39I need to buy a guidebook and some binoculars and maybe those pants with the pockets.
00:18:44That's basically all the gear.
00:18:46Hey, you just told me your future is hanging in the balance here.
00:18:49That's dramatic.
00:18:51I don't know if I said that exactly.
00:18:56Teach me birding so we can get...
00:18:58Uh, yeah.
00:19:00Fine.
00:19:02Yeah, okay.
00:19:03You're gonna need these back.
00:19:10Alright, so, uh, just scan to the left slowly and then to the right.
00:19:16And just look in between the branches.
00:19:27When I was a kid, watching birds was always about being outside, discovering something.
00:19:34It's where I felt connected, grounded, safe.
00:19:39Why?
00:19:39Were you shy?
00:19:41Painfully.
00:19:43But this helped.
00:19:44With confidence?
00:19:46Yeah, eventually you get to know one bird so well that you can identify it easily.
00:19:51Or its song.
00:19:52You know, it starts with an initial curiosity and then it morphs into something more powerful.
00:20:01You know, if I start guiding, that's what I want to convey to people.
00:20:04That it's a quiet but powerful hobby in a lot of ways.
00:20:09So we just wait.
00:20:16Contest or no contest.
00:20:18We're doing this right.
00:20:20We start with discovery and then we go from there.
00:20:23You know, don't worry about the count today.
00:20:27Just see the bird.
00:20:29That sounds way more zen than I'm feeling right now.
00:20:33Just be patient.
00:20:35They're out there.
00:20:36So what's your white whale?
00:20:38You know, the one you just haven't seen yet.
00:20:41Wouldn't say my white whale necessarily, but I really want to see a spotted owl.
00:20:47Ooh.
00:20:48Yeah, they're an endangered species.
00:20:50So rare that almost nobody outside of the most dedicated birders have seen them in the wild.
00:20:55No spotted owls.
00:20:57Well, today we are going to see herons, egrets, ducks.
00:21:06Oh, there's one.
00:21:07Oh, yeah.
00:21:08Some kind of heron.
00:21:09Yeah, that's a great blue heron.
00:21:15Wow.
00:21:20Look right there.
00:21:22Snowy egret.
00:21:24Oh, I see him!
00:21:27Okay, all right.
00:21:28Now you're just scaring the birds.
00:21:30Sorry.
00:21:30Right.
00:21:31Of course.
00:21:32Quiet coyote.
00:21:33Very quiet.
00:21:33Fake date?
00:21:39Fake date?
00:21:40Are you kidding me?
00:21:42How do they get that out of the conversation?
00:21:43I am still trying to work that out as well.
00:21:46I mean, I know him, but not that well.
00:21:49Although you did say yes when I asked you if that's what it was.
00:21:52I don't recall that.
00:21:54And clearly, I didn't mean it or sticking you with a three-week competition.
00:21:57I was going to tag you out.
00:21:58Oh, that ship.
00:21:59That has sailed.
00:22:00I have now not only stepped out of my comfort zone, I'm on a rocket ship to the moon with
00:22:04this fake date who's unfortunately not unattractive.
00:22:07And you're right.
00:22:08He's still hung up on his ex.
00:22:10So, yay!
00:22:10Fine!
00:22:11Cheers!
00:22:11Cheers!
00:22:13Hey, Mom.
00:22:14What is this?
00:22:15Oh, are you ready for this?
00:22:18I don't know.
00:22:20My new bucket hat.
00:22:22I love.
00:22:23Birdhouse with camera.
00:22:25Outdoor vest with pockets.
00:22:27Mom, you can borrow it.
00:22:29I'll pass.
00:22:31Oh, wow.
00:22:33My brand new binoculars.
00:22:35Oh, yeah.
00:22:37Yep.
00:22:37What do you guys think?
00:22:37Super nerdy, guys, but have at it.
00:22:44Hey, I made lasagna.
00:22:46Thanks, but I already ate.
00:22:50I don't get it.
00:22:51We have always bonded over food.
00:22:54That's our thing.
00:22:55She's going to be away at VAU in just a matter of weeks, and I thought we'd be spending more
00:22:59time together.
00:23:00Why does everything feel so off?
00:23:02I mean, that's the thing, though, with kids.
00:23:04What's the thing?
00:23:05They need to torch the house so they can leave it.
00:23:08I mean, it makes sense.
00:23:09Otherwise, how would you leave all of this?
00:23:11That's a real dark analogy.
00:23:13And one of the many reasons that Nathan and I have adopted for babies.
00:23:17So they'd never leave?
00:23:19They can't light a match.
00:23:20Hey.
00:23:32Told you the files were not too big or too heavy to bring over.
00:23:36Well, I could have picked them up myself.
00:23:39Give me a chance to get a lunchtime walk-in.
00:23:41I never did get those dividers.
00:23:43But you're still trying to get your guiding business off the ground.
00:23:46It takes more than passion to succeed.
00:23:47Well, winning the competition would help.
00:23:50How do you feel about your chances?
00:23:51You mean without having you as my partner?
00:23:53We won the last three years in a row for a reason because we're both great birders.
00:23:57I'm just wondering what your new partner's credentials are.
00:23:59We'll be fine.
00:24:02Good.
00:24:04Well, if you find you're missing anything else, let me know.
00:24:07I'm happy to bring it over.
00:24:09Yeah, I think this is the last of it.
00:24:14You okay?
00:24:16Well, may the best birder win.
00:24:24I should be home in about 20 minutes.
00:24:27I just got a call from the office to pick something up and then I'm out.
00:24:31Okay.
00:24:31I'll see you soon.
00:24:35What in the world?
00:24:35I appreciate your enthusiasm and just wanted to say thank you.
00:24:46The rumor mill is on fire.
00:24:49Are you seeing somebody?
00:24:50Is that why you've been avoiding us?
00:24:51Is that what those are?
00:24:53I'm not avoiding you.
00:24:55That's not a no.
00:24:59But yes.
00:25:00Yep.
00:25:01I sure am.
00:25:02You were right.
00:25:04I usually am.
00:25:05But my cousin will be devastated.
00:25:07I've never met him.
00:25:09I think he'll be okay.
00:25:10That's beside the point.
00:25:12You have to bring him.
00:25:13Who?
00:25:13Your new boyfriend.
00:25:15Oh, it's still the early days.
00:25:17Which is exactly why we need to meet him.
00:25:19Test the role cage.
00:25:20Don't want to waste time if he's not solid.
00:25:23Mm-hmm.
00:25:23So, you'll bring him.
00:25:25I will try.
00:25:26To what?
00:25:27The bowling fundraiser.
00:25:30Staff versus parents.
00:25:31Remember, it's Friday night.
00:25:33Oh, right.
00:25:34Bowling.
00:25:34Uh, yeah.
00:25:36Sure.
00:25:36I'll just see if he's free.
00:25:37Please.
00:25:38You just started dating.
00:25:39Of course he's free.
00:25:41Right.
00:25:42Right.
00:25:44Yeah.
00:25:45I'm just gonna.
00:25:46He's so thoughtful.
00:25:47Yeah.
00:25:48Then I will not repine knowing that bird of mine, though flown shall in a distant tree,
00:26:02bright melody for me return.
00:26:10Let me guess.
00:26:12Autobahn's Birds of America?
00:26:13That's en route.
00:26:14But no, Emily Dickinson.
00:26:16Listen, I never realized how many writers were fascinated with birds until now.
00:26:21It's like when I was gonna buy a green jeep, all of a sudden I started seeing them everywhere.
00:26:27New t-shirt?
00:26:29What do you think?
00:26:30I think it's nerdy.
00:26:32But I like it.
00:26:34Shall we?
00:26:35Yes.
00:26:38So, it's really just an honor system for a prize that big?
00:26:43You record what you see.
00:26:44That sounds ripe for cheating or mistakes, especially from someone like me who knows
00:26:50very little about birds.
00:26:52What if I get it wrong?
00:26:53I got you.
00:26:53I just want you to get more out of this than making a list.
00:26:57Like the other day?
00:26:59How do you mean?
00:27:00Well, instead of just running around like chickens with our heads cut off.
00:27:04Oh, wow.
00:27:04That's a terrible saying.
00:27:05Yeah.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:06Wow.
00:27:07I won't disagree.
00:27:07You made me slow down and just look at the bird.
00:27:14It's the kind of guiding I want to do for beginners.
00:27:18You could be my first.
00:27:23I think I already am.
00:27:26Well, you're doing great.
00:27:27Well, I have a lot of time to study and shop online.
00:27:32My daughter is getting ready to go off to college and doesn't seem to need me as much
00:27:36anymore.
00:27:37What about you?
00:27:44That's what I'm curious about.
00:27:49Did you just see that?
00:27:51Stop avoiding the question.
00:27:53No, I'm serious.
00:27:53I think I just saw a scrub jay.
00:27:55A scrub jay?
00:27:55How do you even know what a scrub jay is?
00:27:57I think I just saw a scrub...
00:27:58Oh, gosh.
00:27:59I'm in a plant.
00:27:59Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:28:00You okay?
00:28:00I'm okay.
00:28:01Slow down, okay?
00:28:02No rush.
00:28:08So where'd you see it?
00:28:10Right up here.
00:28:10That way?
00:28:11All right.
00:28:11Let's go.
00:28:15I grew up in Cleveland, a place called Shaker Heights, and now I'm a high school English
00:28:20teacher.
00:28:21That's it?
00:28:23I don't mean that's it, like that's all you got going on, but what else about you?
00:28:28Let's see.
00:28:29I met my ex-husband at university.
00:28:32I moved here when he got a job.
00:28:34I quit mine when I had Morgan.
00:28:36I just went back a few years ago.
00:28:37So basically you could say I took a long hiatus, I lost myself in the process, and now
00:28:41I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing.
00:28:44I bet you're glad you asked that question.
00:28:47I am.
00:28:48Your turn.
00:28:49I grew up in a small, ridiculously quiet town, Mendocino, about two hours north of here.
00:28:58There wasn't really much to do or going on, so I started birding.
00:29:06And I fell in love with it.
00:29:09I'm glad you have time for a new hobby.
00:29:10It's kind of exciting.
00:29:13Yes, it is.
00:29:14Now don't talk to me.
00:29:16Oh, that's right.
00:29:17You're birding.
00:29:18Oh, look yonder.
00:29:20A scrub jay is inside.
00:29:22Oh, yeah.
00:29:23Look at that.
00:29:27Told you I saw one.
00:29:29Indeed a scrub jay.
00:29:31Good spotting.
00:29:38Seven in two hours?
00:29:41Hence the title patient listening.
00:29:44We got time.
00:29:45Okay, speaking of time, do you happen to have any despair on Friday night?
00:29:50We have this school event.
00:29:52It's a fundraiser.
00:29:53Parents against teachers.
00:29:54What's the against part?
00:29:55Bowling.
00:29:56Oh, no.
00:29:56I'm out.
00:29:57Really?
00:29:58Only because I'm a terrible bowler.
00:30:00Oh, no, no, no.
00:30:00You do not have to be good.
00:30:02You just have to show up.
00:30:03That is 97% of it, I promise.
00:30:06But full disclosure, I may have insinuated something that makes this all a bit more complicated.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13You know how I teach high school?
00:30:15Well, sometimes I feel like I'm still in high school with all the gossip and the drama
00:30:18and the people in your business trying to set you up because they feel sorry for you.
00:30:22And then there were your flowers.
00:30:23Thank you, by the way.
00:30:24I hope you got my text.
00:30:25It was just a little something.
00:30:26And my co-workers saw him and they thought I had a new boyfriend.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31And to which you said...
00:30:33Not a lot.
00:30:34They're a bit much.
00:30:35And then, of course, they wanted to meet you.
00:30:38Your new boyfriend?
00:30:39Yes.
00:30:39I know it's a lot to ask.
00:30:41I just...
00:30:41I don't want to be that person anymore.
00:30:44What...
00:30:45What person?
00:30:46The one people pity.
00:30:47I just want to go and I want to bowl and raise some money for the kids.
00:30:51I'm in.
00:30:52Really?
00:30:54Yeah.
00:30:55I owe you.
00:31:00Girl, you look great in everything.
00:31:02What's the big deal?
00:31:03Well, it's not every day you have to get dressed for a fake date.
00:31:06It's harder than you think.
00:31:07No, not that one.
00:31:10What?
00:31:11No?
00:31:12You know, it's casual.
00:31:13It's bowling.
00:31:14So it's got to be casual, but cute enough for early dating.
00:31:18Whatever that means.
00:31:21That's tragic.
00:31:22Oh, please.
00:31:22Don't hold back.
00:31:23Hey, you called me.
00:31:26What about this?
00:31:28Oh, better.
00:31:29But?
00:31:30Oh, it's Morgan.
00:31:32I gotta go.
00:31:33Better.
00:31:33Was it a yes?
00:31:36I can't do the same concept as every other artist.
00:31:40It's the Junior Art Collective.
00:31:42My...
00:31:42My last one.
00:31:45Hi, honey.
00:31:46You're home.
00:31:47I gotta go.
00:31:49How was your day?
00:31:51Okay.
00:31:52Except my art project is a disaster.
00:31:55You get nervous every year and I know it's gonna be beautiful.
00:31:58It's fine.
00:31:59I just need to revise it.
00:32:01In a vacuum.
00:32:02Well, if you need my help.
00:32:03That's not a vacuum.
00:32:05I wanted to give you this.
00:32:08Go on.
00:32:09Open it.
00:32:10You didn't need to get me anything.
00:32:11I know.
00:32:12I'm just excited for you.
00:32:16Thanks, Mom.
00:32:19But what if I made a mistake in choosing VAU?
00:32:26This has been the goal of the path for as long as I can remember.
00:32:29I know.
00:32:30You're so close.
00:32:31Don't second guess yourself.
00:32:32If it's too big, we can always get you a different size.
00:32:35It's good.
00:32:36Are you sure?
00:32:37I just need to get back to my pieces.
00:32:39I can't bomb my last art show.
00:32:41You won't.
00:32:42Hey, don't forget your cookie dough.
00:32:43We need to figure this out.
00:33:11But you already gave me the lowdown on everyone. Well, that's them. What about us?
00:33:14How did we meet? That's gonna come up between strikes. With this crew, you never know. Was it birding?
00:33:18I don't know. I have no idea. Hawk Hill. Hawk Hill. We were looking at the same bird, and then I asked you out for french fries.
00:33:25French fries? They're my go-to food. They're perfect on any occasion. Well, you see, that's something I definitely needed to know.
00:33:32We good? Did you stretch? My bowling arm? You'll probably be okay with a little PT. Well, maybe.
00:33:38Hey, everyone. This is John.
00:33:43Hi. John! Hi. Hi, John.
00:33:47You are much taller than I imagined. Taller? You mean brawnier.
00:33:53Really? Why is that? You mean for a bird? Yeah. I guess I never met one before.
00:33:58But we're excited to get to know you. So excited. Like, what university did you go to?
00:34:03Did you have a favorite teacher? Do you have any children? How did you guys meet?
00:34:06Yes. How did you meet? You know what, ladies? Why don't we do this after we bowl?
00:34:11Because we don't want to hold everyone up. Right, man?
00:34:13Yeah, I know I'm ready to bowl. Are you? Yeah.
00:34:16Fine. Everyone, add your name to the scoreboards. It's time to bowl.
00:34:21Whoa.
00:34:23I know.
00:34:28Whoa!
00:34:30Whoa!
00:34:43Whoa!
00:34:44Whoa!
00:34:46So, in the absence of fries,
00:35:15what can I get you?
00:35:16Red Vines, they're quick.
00:35:17I think everybody's wrapping up.
00:35:19Red Vines?
00:35:20I'm more of a junior mince kind of guy myself,
00:35:22but I'll be right back.
00:35:24I'm sorry, but I don't think he's that into her.
00:35:28I kind of have to agree.
00:35:30I mean, did you see how she was all over him
00:35:33and teaching him out of goal,
00:35:34and he didn't even touch her?
00:35:37Is it bad that I feel sorry for her?
00:35:39Yeah, same.
00:35:40I mean, when I think of her a whole year alone.
00:35:43Yeah.
00:35:44I mean, this definitely never would have happened with Gary.
00:35:47Gary is such a wild card emotionally, though.
00:35:50She wanted to be here,
00:35:51but she got roped into this fundraiser.
00:35:53I think it was for her.
00:35:54Hi, I'm sorry.
00:35:55Can I, can I read a sec?
00:35:57Yeah, sure.
00:36:00Where's your candy?
00:36:01Uh, well, um...
00:36:03You didn't have any?
00:36:04I didn't make it to the front of the line.
00:36:06I have been a terrible fake boyfriend.
00:36:09What are you talking about?
00:36:10You've been fine.
00:36:11Not according to your friends.
00:36:18Oh, oh.
00:36:20Yeah, they're, uh, questioning my devotion to you.
00:36:24Devotion?
00:36:25Yeah.
00:36:26Like, how?
00:36:27We just started dating.
00:36:28Me being into you.
00:36:29I haven't been selling it enough.
00:36:31I'm sorry.
00:36:32There's nothing to be sorry about.
00:36:34Yeah, they're, they're watching us right now.
00:36:36They are.
00:36:37Oh, yeah, they are.
00:36:38No.
00:36:39I can fix this.
00:36:40It would just mean us getting a little closer than what we discussed.
00:36:45Yeah.
00:36:46I really don't want to go out with Andrea's cousin, so...
00:36:50Go for it.
00:36:52Okay.
00:37:05It's vanilla, isn't it?
00:37:08What?
00:37:09Your perfume.
00:37:10Oh, it's lavender.
00:37:12And I think vanilla, caviar, not that you would notice that.
00:37:17I think it's different on everyone.
00:37:18I'm starting to notice a lot of things about you.
00:37:28Everyone is watching us.
00:37:29Yeah, they are.
00:37:30Yeah.
00:37:31I mean, we, we should probably kiss, right?
00:37:35Being this close.
00:37:36I mean, if we're dating, probably.
00:37:37Yeah, being this close, right?
00:37:38Yeah, probably.
00:37:39Are we really doing this?
00:37:40It appears so.
00:37:41We should.
00:37:42Yeah.
00:37:43We should probably...
00:37:44Uh, yeah.
00:37:45Good morning tomorrow, yeah.
00:37:46With the birds.
00:37:47With the birds.
00:37:48With the birds.
00:37:49With the birds.
00:37:50With the birds.
00:37:52Come.
00:37:53Come.

00:38:05Bye.
00:38:06Bye.
00:38:07Bye-bye.
00:38:08Bye-bye.
00:38:09Mom, this new bird cam is so cool.
00:38:10It is, right?
00:38:11I've been watching it all morning.
00:38:12I know you like a clean house, but this feels excessive.
00:38:13What's wrong?
00:38:14Nothing's wrong.
00:38:15Our living room just needed some sprucing.
00:38:17Does this have anything to do with your bird friend coming over?
00:38:18What?
00:38:19No.
00:38:20Why would you say that?
00:38:21So you're really just going to hang out with me?
00:38:22No.
00:38:23You're really just going to hang out with me?
00:38:24No.
00:38:25You're really just going to hang out with me?
00:38:26No.
00:38:27You're really just going to hang out with me?
00:38:28No.
00:38:29No.
00:38:30No.
00:38:31No.
00:38:32No.
00:38:33No.
00:38:34No.
00:38:35No.
00:38:36No.
00:38:37No.
00:38:38No.
00:38:39No.
00:38:40Okay.
00:38:41So you're really just going to hang out in our backyard and watch birds?
00:38:44For the contest, our backyard happens to be a bit of a bird sanctuary, according to
00:39:03our guide to native birds of California.
00:39:05Whatever you say.
00:39:06Have you talked to your roommate about who's bringing the fridge?
00:39:07Oh, and I was thinking we could run out and get matching duvets!
00:39:08I've got time now!
00:39:09push um you want to order ramen later i'm actually having dinner with dad and lucy he didn't mention
00:39:17he was coming i guess it was a super last minute work thing i'm sorry it'll be fun you are gonna
00:39:22have a lot of fun you know you can date people too right yeah i know that and i will when i meet
00:39:32someone i like it's all about timing so not this new bird guy pretty sure he's still hung up on his
00:39:37ex so yeah no not gonna go there whatever you say have fun organizing your living room it's still
00:39:45our living room you haven't moved out yet i'm sure you're counting the days
00:39:51uh mom someone's asking for you on the porch what already tall nerdy surfer vibe is he your birding
00:40:03friend why are you saying it like that no reason did you just leave him out there yeah his name is
00:40:09john by the way come on in john
00:40:13hi hi you're early uh i thought we said 10 really i thought we said nine
00:40:24is it is okay came in your daughter she was just leaving yeah and that's good because now
00:40:30you've met my daughter i mean not that it's like super significant that my daughter meet my
00:40:35birding partner although we are on our second weekend so that that does feel pretty significant
00:40:39so it's okay i came in it's great i'm gonna um go grab my stuff and then we can find some feathers all
00:40:46right now i don't know if we're supposed to pick favorites but the yellow warbler is definitely the
00:40:58most attractive bird we've seen so far they're like a sunburst with wings and those little nests
00:41:03they make they're like coffee mugs adorable you spotted it you identified it you'll get there
00:41:09don't worry so be honest we're halfway through how are we doing numbers wise well it's tough to say
00:41:16when we don't know others count well can't we just ask them i'm sure they'd like to know
00:41:20that's not something we do nobody knows the counts until the final reception when we announce the winner
00:41:26so so 97 is decent teams can spot up to 200 bird species per weekend 200 per weekend
00:41:37we're nowhere near where we need to be let's go
00:41:40hey an injury is not gonna help us well stop distracting me oh i'm distracting let's go where
00:41:50are we going yonder i can hear them all right do you hear that yonder it is
00:41:55i know you liked doing this as a kid but did you actually study ornithology in school
00:42:01biology with a minor in ornithology i made up my concentration in grad school
00:42:07masters or a phd masters initially brina really wanted me to do the whole tenure track
00:42:14professorship like her which made sense until
00:42:20laszlo i realized i hated it
00:42:26so i dropped out much to brina's dismay hence laszlo who was deeply rooted in all things academia
00:42:36i'm sorry
00:42:39i just didn't want to spend more time in a lab than in the outdoors
00:42:45but believe it or not i'm a desk job guy now
00:42:50well hopefully not forever and i think we can win
00:42:54well i definitely don't think brina thinks that
00:42:58well who cares what she thinks
00:43:00it would be great to prove you wrong
00:43:05you are so lucky that you have all this in your backyard
00:43:16i know right
00:43:19i love all of these birds but i know very little about them
00:43:25or what's happening all around them like over here
00:43:29you see that one oh yeah look at that
00:43:32what is it
00:43:33you really want me to tell you
00:43:36no
00:43:36the red-footed mini pigeon
00:43:42seriously
00:43:43the western bluebird
00:43:47okay
00:43:49wow you really had me there
00:43:52i told you you'd get there
00:43:58that one i hear those birds all the time but i can't find them the little chicks just flew the nest which feels a little too close to home
00:44:08oh i guess you're not ready for morgan to leave yet
00:44:11no not that she's wanted to hang out much lately
00:44:14look i'm no parent but i bet you're doing better than you think
00:44:17it's a parent's job to give their kids roots and then wings
00:44:20seems to me like you're doing just that
00:44:23of course you would find an analogy in it
00:44:25oh can you tell me what that is
00:44:29that's the call of a red-winged blackbird
00:44:32do you typically hear a call and a response
00:44:35yeah usually you hear a pair calling back and forth to each other
00:44:38the male and the female each have different sounds
00:44:41there it is
00:44:44right there
00:44:44where
00:44:45on the branch
00:44:46see it
00:44:46that's the female
00:44:48oh yes
00:44:50it sounds like the other one is just across the stream over there
00:44:54the males have the distinct red wing
00:44:56what are they saying
00:44:59well if i knew that
00:45:02i'd definitely have my own birding business
00:45:04i walked right into that one didn't i
00:45:06you know what i mean though
00:45:07i mean they're obviously trying to communicate something
00:45:10i don't know exactly but they're just
00:45:12keeping track of each other
00:45:14looking for food
00:45:15making sure no one goes too far
00:45:18who knew birds could be so romantic
00:45:20you did
00:45:26maybe
00:45:29we added 40 today

00:48:00You see him? He's sitting right on that bridge right there
00:48:03Here, take this
00:48:06Wow
00:48:12See, I don't think I'd be any good at this
00:48:16I mean, I can't sit still long enough to tie my shoes, let alone scout for birds
00:48:20Well, I am happy to meet you, Fred, because I can relate
00:48:23I think you'd be surprised
00:48:25You just met the Clark Kent of Birds
00:48:28Huh?
00:48:28And only because of migration, otherwise they'd be asleep right now
00:48:31Silverman?
00:48:33Yeah, hummingbirds are faster than cars
00:48:36And just like you on this trail, their wings never stop moving
00:48:40Wow
00:48:42Wow, thanks
00:48:43I wonder what else is out here
00:48:45What?
00:48:52You're really good at this
00:48:54With or without a PhD, you can win this
00:48:59And be a great guide
00:49:00Pretty sure Fred would agree
00:49:03You okay?
00:49:18Yeah
00:49:18This is it
00:49:19Tall trees, old growth forests
00:49:22The perfect habitat for nesting
00:49:24Spotted owls love places like this
00:49:26I'm impressed
00:49:29You've done your homework
00:49:30Well, I was doing some research and I found this message board
00:49:33And someone claimed to have seen one in this area, even during the daytime
00:49:37Do we get bonus points if we spot one?
00:49:41No, just the, uh, the satisfaction and the bragging rights
00:49:46And maybe because of you, we're gonna see one today
00:49:52Okay
00:49:56Let's be very quiet
00:50:02Look, I see something
00:50:08That's it
00:50:13Look, I see something

00:53:02Thank you
00:53:04Don't forget about our party on Saturday
00:53:07What party?
00:53:09The anniversary party
00:53:10Ten years
00:53:11Wait, I thought
00:53:12If you were, I swore I did
00:53:13No
00:53:14No
00:53:14But you did tell me about it
00:53:16Funny
00:53:17Very cute invite
00:53:19I will be there
00:53:20Now I remember
00:53:22Now I remember
00:53:22I ran into John at Pickleball the other day
00:53:26He's pretty excited about tonight
00:53:28Just saying
00:53:30Oh, oh, finally
00:53:37Well, I'm here before 10 a.m., so, you know, you're welcome
00:53:41Okay, listen, I got a question for you
00:53:43How much land mass was given to construction over the last year affecting bird habitat?
00:53:49You're asking me that?
00:53:50I'm pretty sure you get to roll in here after 10 a.m. for a reason
00:53:53And I got trivia tonight
00:53:55When will you know the results?
00:53:57For trivia or for the contest?
00:53:59The contest
00:53:59This weekend
00:54:00Why?
00:54:03There's an opening for operations, director, that I want to put you up for
00:54:07Look, it's more managerial, obviously, and we'll need more time in front of a computer screen
00:54:12But the pay reflects that
00:54:14So, if you're interested
00:54:16Can you get me till Monday?
00:54:20Sure, yeah
00:54:21But that's probably as far as I can push it, though
00:54:23Thanks, Steve
00:54:24No problem
00:54:26And, uh, have a good time with your new partner tonight
00:54:29Why are you saying it like that?
00:54:33I don't know
00:54:34Celeste and I are just teammates
00:54:36Okay
00:54:37Because I was just getting the feeling that you were super excited to spend more time with her
00:54:42That's all, you know
00:54:43You know, because you seem super excited
00:54:46That's the vibe I'm getting
00:54:47Okay
00:54:48Yeah, fine
00:54:49I am excited
00:54:51Good
00:54:52Now, how about the landmass question?
00:54:54I need to know that
00:54:54I need the wind
00:54:55John, I...
00:54:57I know everything
00:54:59Come
00:55:01I knew it
00:55:03Hi
00:55:13Hey
00:55:14Hey
00:55:14Sorry to keep you waiting
00:55:17You didn't have to wait for me
00:55:18Oh, I am not going in there without you
00:55:20Why not?
00:55:21You can hold your own
00:55:22You look...
00:55:24Don't say it
00:55:24I'm very focused right now
00:55:26I have my trivia face on
00:55:27Okay
00:55:28But I was going to say you look really ready to win
00:55:30Why do you say that?
00:55:31All tan?
00:55:32Is that coincidence or choice?
00:55:34What do you think?
00:55:35Choice
00:55:35Correct
00:55:36Muted colors help ensure the survival for females
00:55:40And what about this purple situation?
00:55:42Is that dominance?
00:55:42This?
00:55:43Let's hope so
00:55:44But it was actually so I could attract a mate
00:55:48In the wild, of course
00:55:51Of course
00:55:51Yeah
00:55:51You ready to win?
00:55:53Let's go
00:55:54Okay
00:55:54Let's go
00:55:55Let's do this
00:55:55All right
00:56:01Moving right along
00:56:03Next question
00:56:04Which bird uses the prevailing winds to keep cool?
00:56:08I'm sorry but this question is lacking and needed specifics
00:56:11Which season which wins?
00:56:13Oh god
00:56:13Take an educated guess
00:56:15It's trivia night after all
00:56:16Oh
00:56:17I'm telling you
00:56:18It's the bird in that teeny little bird
00:56:20Builds a spherical nest with the opening facing the breeze
00:56:23It's genius
00:56:24Wow
00:56:27Okay
00:56:27Submit your answers
00:56:30Is that it?
00:56:31I don't know
00:56:32But it seems like the right answer
00:56:34Why don't you
00:56:35You don't know
00:56:36I don't
00:56:36I do this
00:56:37It's such a student becomes the teacher moment
00:56:40Write it down John
00:56:41Okay
00:56:41And the answer is
00:56:45The verdant
00:56:47Be patient listening
00:56:51Has the correct answer
00:56:52Okay
00:56:56Now
00:56:58Keeping things going
00:56:59With an average speed of over 200 miles an hour
00:57:03Which bird isn't just the fastest bird on earth
00:57:06But the speediest animal?
00:57:07The answer is
00:57:11Peregrine falcons
00:57:13Four teams get a point on that one
00:57:16Here we go
00:57:17Which U.S. president was an avid birder with a life list of over 1,100 species of birds?
00:57:23Clock is ticking
00:57:24Here we go
00:57:26And the correct answer is Jimmy Carter
00:57:29Great job team deductions with the correct answer
00:57:33Next question
00:57:35This bird species can sleep with one eye open while flying
00:57:40One eye
00:57:41All right
00:57:42Almost there
00:57:43And the answer is
00:57:45Arctic turn
00:57:46That's two teams with the correct answer
00:57:49Which means we have a tie
00:57:52No
00:57:53Yes
00:57:54Deductions and team patient listening
00:57:56Are you ready to do a face off?
00:57:59Game on
00:57:59All right
00:58:00This question's a little different from the others
00:58:02This question involves a poem by Emily Dickinson
00:58:06Wait, that's your girl
00:58:07I know
00:58:08Poker face
00:58:11Okay, everybody ready?
00:58:13In this poem
00:58:14Dickinson makes a reference to a desert insect known as the cochineal
00:58:18What is the name of the poem?
00:58:20Come on, Linda, seriously?
00:58:22I don't make up the questions, I just read them
00:58:25Come on
00:58:26Clock is ticking
00:58:27You know the answer to this?
00:58:29I've read it a dozen times
00:58:30Okay
00:58:31Well, speak from the heart, young Jedi
00:58:33All right, time's up
00:58:36Let's see who's the most literary amongst us
00:58:39And the answer is
00:58:41The hummingbird
00:58:43The hummingbird
00:58:45Which means team patient listening
00:58:47You are our winners
00:59:01I cannot believe you're relatively new to this
00:59:04You're a natural
00:59:05You should totally come on a birding trip with us
00:59:08I have no idea what that consists of
00:59:10But yes, I'm in
00:59:11Really?
00:59:11This has been a ton of fun
00:59:13You have been a ton of fun
00:59:14More fun than I've had in years
00:59:16I'd love to be included
00:59:17How do you feel about Arizona?
00:59:20My daughter is going to college there soon
00:59:23So I'd love an excuse to visit
00:59:25Rina, hey
00:59:30Hey
00:59:31I just wanted to say goodnight and congratulations
00:59:34Thank you
00:59:36I mean, cut you a meal
00:59:38Wow, lucky guess, huh?
00:59:42Celeste actually knew the whole poem
00:59:43I guess that would be in her wheelhouse
00:59:46English teacher and all
00:59:47What, did you
00:59:48Did you Google her or something?
00:59:50It's important to know your competition
00:59:51But since she's never entered a birding contest before
00:59:54I'm feeling pretty good about our odds
00:59:56Hey, at least you seem happy
00:59:58So you're saying that
01:00:01If we lose
01:00:03At least there's that?
01:00:05No offense
01:00:06But I would have picked a partner with more experience
01:00:08I had one
01:00:09Remember?
01:00:11And then you chose Laszlo
01:00:13I think we're done here
01:00:15John, I didn't mean to insult
01:00:17You did
01:00:18Rina
01:00:19You meant to insult Celeste
01:00:21And then me along the way
01:00:23But she's incredible
01:00:24And I wouldn't have won tonight without her
01:00:26You know, I don't need your advice
01:00:28Or your
01:00:29Approval
01:00:30Not anymore
01:00:33We did it!
01:00:41We won!
01:00:42Go on!
01:00:42You saved us in the end
01:00:44You were incredible
01:00:46How are you?
01:00:48I saw you in there talking to Rina
01:00:49You know what?
01:00:51I'm
01:00:51I'm fine
01:00:53I was just
01:00:55Wondering what I was trying to prove
01:00:57And
01:00:58Why
01:01:00To her
01:01:01You know?
01:01:02It's
01:01:02You know, I'm finally over it
01:01:05Enough about that
01:01:07Tonight
01:01:08We're victorious
01:01:10So we should
01:01:12You know
01:01:13Go out
01:01:13I would love to
01:01:15But I've got an early morning tomorrow
01:01:17And Morgan's probably waiting for me
01:01:19About that
01:01:21Just
01:01:21Think
01:01:22Chickadees
01:01:23Chickadees?
01:01:25Well
01:01:26You've read and seen how skittish they can be
01:01:28But with patience
01:01:29And positive
01:01:30Consistent interaction
01:01:31Are you talking about my daughter?
01:01:33Or birds?
01:01:34Just let her come to you
01:01:35In her own time
01:01:36That's
01:01:37That's all I'm saying
01:01:37Okay
01:01:39Do you need a lift?
01:01:43Thank you
01:01:43I
01:01:44I actually called a rideshare
01:01:45It should be here
01:01:46Any minute
01:01:47Um
01:01:49Are you going to Eva's party Saturday night?
01:01:54Yeah, the 10th anniversary bash
01:01:56Yeah, you?
01:01:57Same
01:01:57Should we go together?
01:02:01Like
01:02:01As a couple?
01:02:03I'm assuming your co-workers are
01:02:05Are gonna be there, so
01:02:06Oh, right
01:02:07So
01:02:08Yeah, yeah
01:02:08I mean, obviously
01:02:09We gotta keep this all up
01:02:11For like a little bit longer
01:02:12Right
01:02:13My rides
01:02:16Here
01:02:16I should probably
01:02:17Go
01:02:18Although
01:02:20Honestly
01:02:21I'd just like to spend more time with you
01:02:22Without the birds
01:02:23What?
01:02:24Do my ears deceive me?
01:02:26No birds?
01:02:26Is that a yes or a no
01:02:28To me picking you up?
01:02:29You can't just leave me hanging here
01:02:30Well, I can't say no
01:02:31To that shirt
01:02:32Well, I'm glad I wore it then
01:02:33Good night
01:02:38Good night
01:02:39From your strong foundation and warrior pose
01:03:00So you kissed again?
01:03:02Yes
01:03:02But this time
01:03:03It wasn't even planned
01:03:05It just sort of happened
01:03:06And then he asked you out on a date
01:03:07To our party
01:03:08Yes
01:03:09No
01:03:09I mean, I don't know
01:03:10It's hard to know what's real
01:03:11Or fake anymore
01:03:12And I don't wanna
01:03:13Think it's something it's not
01:03:14And just get hurt again
01:03:16Oh
01:03:16Oh
01:03:17No, this is how we'll get hurt
01:03:20Sorry, eagle pose
01:03:21I give up
01:03:23I am, me too
01:03:24But you like him, right?
01:03:29This is all your fault
01:03:30Blame, I will happily accept
01:03:32Just have fun

01:08:10what do stars
01:08:14why do stars
01:08:15fall out from the sky
01:08:37So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of golden starlight in your eyes of blue
01:08:44What are we doing?
01:08:46I don't know
01:08:48Pretending?
01:08:51All the girls in town follow you all around
01:08:56We need to stop
01:08:58Just like me
01:09:00They long to be close to you

01:09:14So they...
01:09:25Is everything okay?
01:09:26Yeah, yeah, I just, I haven't checked my messages in a while
01:09:29I wasn't sure if Morgan was trying to get a hold of me
01:09:31Nice to see you too
01:09:33Andrea is leaving too, so I'm gonna get a ride with her
01:09:39What's going on?

01:09:46With Morgan's art show and the end of all of this
01:09:50The reception?
01:09:52I just need to go
01:09:54Celeste, I don't understand why you're leaving here
01:09:58I'm sorry
01:09:59I just, I can't pretend anymore
01:10:01But fingers crossed we win
01:10:08It was really nice talking to both of you
01:10:22I hope everything works out
01:10:23Good night
01:10:25Long distance at 23?
01:10:27Please
01:10:28I don't know who thinks that's gonna work
01:10:30Had you not met her yet, the new hire?
01:10:32She just moved here from South Carolina
01:10:33You know what? She's fine
01:10:35They will figure it out and they'll be fine
01:10:38What isn't fine is you all talking about their personal lives
01:10:41Like it's a pastime
01:10:42We need to be bigger than that
01:10:44Okay
01:10:47Heard
01:10:48Heard
01:10:49And you may have also heard me say I was pretending with John
01:10:53And it's true
01:10:55He's not into me, he was never into me
01:10:58It's a fake relationship that I should have never felt the need to create
01:11:03But because you all were pitying me, I started pitying myself
01:11:06That's not what we were doing
01:11:08It's okay
01:11:09It actually, it pushed me to try new things
01:11:11And to stop worrying about what everyone else thinks
01:11:14And to realize I'm okay
01:11:16On my own
01:11:17Like
01:11:18Really okay
01:11:19Okay
01:11:22Okay
01:11:39Did you get enough to eat?
01:11:41Are you okay?
01:11:42Yeah
01:11:43Of course I am
01:11:44Why would I not be?
01:11:45I just, I want to make sure you are ready for your show
01:11:48I'm ready
01:11:49What about you and your birding reception?
01:11:51I am assuming it will be short and sweet
01:11:54And I will be out of there in no time
01:11:57I'm crossing my fingers you win
01:11:58Thank you
01:11:59I'll be at your show the second I can
01:12:01Hey mom
01:12:11Yeah?
01:12:14I'm not going
01:12:15To what?
01:12:16Your show?
01:12:18VAU
01:12:20VAU?
01:12:21What are you talking about?
01:12:22At least not straight away
01:12:24Straight away?
01:12:25I just need some more time to decide
01:12:27I'm looking into some art schools
01:12:29Oh honey, you can do all that
01:12:32After you finish undergrad
01:12:33It's only four years
01:12:35I've already made up my mind
01:12:37Unlit admissions and my dorm roommate know
01:12:39Dad knows
01:12:41I don't understand this
01:12:43This is a massive shift
01:12:45Why didn't we talk about it?
01:12:47It just
01:12:50It just doesn't feel right anymore
01:12:58I'll see you tonight
01:12:59Yeah
01:13:01I'll see you tonight
01:13:15John, I think we all enjoyed meeting Celeste
01:13:36I hope she competes again with you next year
01:13:39Well, that would be nice
01:13:41Cool
01:13:43And soon we need to talk about plans for the Arizona trip
01:13:46Excuse me
01:13:54It's good to see you
01:13:56You too
01:13:59Celeste
01:14:00I'm feeling pretty good
01:14:02The birds found us
01:14:03We were lucky
01:14:05It's not luck when you're the best
01:14:09It's time
01:14:10We have a short slideshow before the contest
01:14:13So if everyone could gather round
01:14:15Shall we?
01:14:19After you
01:14:37269 is impressive for bird species
01:14:40In such a short period of time
01:14:41Do you think it's enough?
01:14:43Whatever it is
01:14:45It's okay
01:14:46So we know there can only be one winner
01:15:00But I am happy to announce that this has been our highest scoring year yet
01:15:05With the best prizes
01:15:06With the best prizes
01:15:08And dare I say
01:15:10The most entertaining slideshow
01:15:12But all that makes this moment all the harder for me
01:15:15You're all wonderful
01:15:17And talented
01:15:19But the winner of this year's annual NorCal Ornithological Society Birdathon
01:15:24With an amazing total of 278 birds
01:15:27Let's hear it for winged warriors
01:15:30Let's hear it for winged warriors
01:15:36It's okay
01:15:38You did great
01:15:40We did
01:15:42We did
01:15:44Well there's always next year
01:15:47And besides
01:15:49We got to see a spotted owl
01:15:51This was your coin toss
01:15:54Which way you were gonna go
01:15:56I'm sorry
01:15:58I'm sorry
01:16:00There's nothing to be sorry about
01:16:03Well that is debatable
01:16:05But your ability to follow through
01:16:08That is well documented
01:16:10With your books
01:16:11All the birds that you've spotted
01:16:12Since you were a kid
01:16:14Your passion for teaching
01:16:16You forged your own path
01:16:18And I was lucky enough to experience that
01:16:20And I'm not gonna make you swear any oaths tonight
01:16:23But I do hope you'll consider taking the risk with your business
01:16:27Even without the win
01:16:29You already have one client
01:16:31You?
01:16:32You're dead from the trail
01:16:34He's just waiting for a heads up
01:16:43You're amazing
01:16:45You know that?
01:16:49What's the feeling I got the second I met you?
01:16:53I
01:16:54I have to go
01:17:00I'm late
01:17:02To Morgan's art show
01:17:04Oh
01:17:08I gotta go
01:17:10Good night
01:17:20Yeah, I'm really nervous
01:17:22But I am excited
01:17:24I will definitely let you guys know where I land
01:17:27Definitely going to be an adventure
01:17:31Excuse me
01:17:33You made it
01:17:34Of course I made it
01:17:36There is nowhere else I wanna be
01:17:38This is your night
01:17:40How'd it go?
01:17:41With the contest?
01:17:42Oh, uh, we lost
01:17:44Oh no, I'm sorry
01:17:45Oh, that's too bad
01:17:46Were you at least close?
01:17:48Actually, yes
01:17:49But unfortunately, close doesn't help John
01:17:52Is he coming?
01:17:53No, why would he?
01:17:54Isn't he?
01:17:55Isn't he your boyfriend?
01:17:57What?
01:17:59No
01:18:00You sure?
01:18:01Cause I haven't seen you geek out about anyone or anything this hard since ever
01:18:07You bought all that birding gear
01:18:08It's a fair statement
01:18:10Okay, where is your artwork?
01:18:11Am I the only one who hasn't seen it yet?
01:18:14In the next room
01:18:15You're gonna love it
01:18:16Mm-hmm
01:18:17Mm-hmm
01:18:18Hope is the thing with feathers
01:18:19Hope is the thing with feathers
01:18:21That perches in the soul
01:18:36And sings the tune without the words
01:18:37And never stops at all
01:18:51Dickinson
01:18:52Dickinson
01:18:53You inspired me
01:18:54Really?
01:18:55I did?
01:18:56We've been through a lot of hard change in this past year but
01:18:57You didn't let it beat you
