TVTranscript
00:02My guest today is Irma, who has been cutting hair in Portland for how long?
00:08Since I turned 18. Honey, I could tell you some stories.
00:11That is why we're here.
00:12It 100% is not.
00:14Okay.
00:16I don't even want to know.
00:17My new talk show, Sofa, So Good, One Couch, Many Stories.
00:22She's a natural. I could talk to her for hours.
00:24I remember that one time I had a client, won't say who.
00:28Kimberly Peacock.
00:29Oh.
00:30She wanted bangs.
00:31I told her, honey, I'm not a therapist.
00:33Go work your problems out somewhere else.
00:35Do you have any ailment that needs to be treated?
00:39No, but you could use a trim.
00:42Goodbye, Irma.
00:43Please don't come back until you're sick or much more interesting.
00:46Who's next?
00:48I've got a story.
00:50You'll never guess where I met my wife.
00:53You're right.
00:53I never will.
00:59It's fine.
01:05You're getting too wet there.
01:07You've got to wake up, man.
01:09There's a tape set.
01:10It's a slip.
01:12There's a number three.
01:15How many pounds?
01:17There's a little pounds.
01:18Let's go in the back.
01:28There's a little pounds.
01:31There's a little pounds.
01:39I have no idea who you're talking about.
01:41But if he's sick, have him come see me in an hour.
01:43I have some errands around.
01:43Joe is a very important part of the Portland community.
01:46Yeah, he lives on his own on a farm.
01:48Nice guy.
01:49Loves my lobster bisque.
01:50Never tried it.
01:51Seemed heavy.
01:52Excuse me?
01:52No, honey, not now.
01:54Joe has some mental health challenges.
01:56Which he manages fine with medication.
01:58I'm glad to hear it.
01:59Well, no, no.
01:59He comes to town every month for supplies.
02:02But he didn't show up.
02:04Right.
02:04That's why we have phones.
02:05So give him a call.
02:06No, Martin, Martin, Martin.
02:08Listen, Dr. Reese always went out to visit him
02:11and make sure that he was taking his medication.
02:13It's the only person he'd listen to.
02:15That's why you've got to go talk to him.
02:17First of all, I'm not Dr. Reese.
02:18So this mysterious Joe is not going to care what I have to say.
02:21Second, I'm a doctor, not a social worker.
02:26Martin James Best.
02:28First, you are the new Dr. Reese.
02:30And since he won't listen to anyone else,
02:32you've got to go out and talk to him.
02:34Secondly, in many small towns,
02:36doctors are often like social workers.
02:38And third, I'm telling you to do this.
02:42Fine.
02:44Just this once.
02:45Thank God.
02:46Now you need to know, Joe plays a special role here.
02:49Yeah, see, his father, he was a lovely man.
02:51No, I'm stopping you right there.
02:52No, but we do think you need to know.
02:53Do you want me to go or not?
02:55Yes, go.
02:56I'll text you the address.
03:04Okay, everyone, get excited because tomorrow we're going to have our super cool presentation
03:09about the study of the stars and the planets, which is called what?
03:12Astronomy.
03:13That's right.
03:14Okay, okay, see you tomorrow with my presentation,
03:17if I can get the stupid smart board to work.
03:19You know what was great?
03:21Regular white boards.
03:22I can help.
03:23Ooh.
03:25Peter likes the teacher.
03:27Suck up, nerd.
03:28I'm just trying to help.
03:29Okay, okay, that's enough.
03:30That's enough.
03:31Get out of here.
03:32We'll talk about this tomorrow.
03:34Peter, thank you so much.
03:35I will absolutely take you up on your help, okay?
03:38You know, just work your clickety-clackety magic.
03:43Whoa, how did you do that?
03:45Oh, it's a space bar.
03:46Oh.
03:47Your surroundings slide's like awesome.
03:48Oh, thank you.
03:49Can't wait for class tomorrow.
03:51Yeah, me either.
03:52But don't tell anybody I said that.
03:55Okay.
04:05Hello.
04:07Hello, I'm Dr. Best.
04:09You must be the new Dr. Reese.
04:10That is correct.
04:12And you must be Joe Bruck.
04:13You want a taste?
04:15Oh, no, thank you.
04:16Are you sure?
04:17I find it tastes best when it comes right out of the earth.
04:19Yeah, or out of a saute pan with garlic, or just, I don't know, washed.
04:25You're not much of a gardener, are you?
04:26No, no, I don't like dirt.
04:28I love it.
04:29Got my vegetables, my flowers, my herb garden.
04:32I just really relaxes me.
04:35I'm delighted for you.
04:37So, people from town asked me to come see you?
04:42Bunch of busybodies, aren't they?
04:43Oh, yes, they are.
04:44Always chattering away.
04:46They remind me of the chickens in my coop.
04:47It's relentless.
04:48That's why I live all the way out here.
04:50I just prefer my own company.
04:53That's the smartest thing I've heard all day.
04:57Anyway, I took a look at your file on the way out here,
05:01and I understand that you're on medication for anxiety and depression, right?
05:06Sometimes I get agoraphobic.
05:07Did you go off your meds?
05:09Yeah, they make me tired, and I just have so much to do.
05:12Speaking of which, you sure you don't want anything?
05:14How about a squash?
05:15This time of year, I can't give this stuff away.
05:17Yeah, and that's going to continue to be true.
05:18Did you consult with a doctor first?
05:20No, I...
05:21Other than Dr. Reese, I don't really care for doctors.
05:24Me neither.
05:26So, Joe, as I'm sure you're aware,
05:28going cold turkey can bring about some pretty rough side effects on their own.
05:32Guess that's why I don't feel like leaving my property.
05:35You seem to me like a reasonable man.
05:37Thank you, I am.
05:38I can talk to you about winding down off your medications,
05:42that connect you with a psychiatrist,
05:44but in the meantime, just to keep the chickens from squawking.
05:49What do you say you go back on your meds?
05:54Okay, I will.
05:56Now, how do you feel about weeding?
05:58Because I don't get a lot of people around here I feel like I can talk to.
06:02Yeah, I'm so sorry, but I have patients that are waiting, I bet you.
06:06Oh, yeah, sure. All business. I get it.
06:32So, I heard from a little birdie that you have a wild story to tell us.
06:37Oh, so I was with friends, and I had ordered a Hawaiian pizza,
06:41and instead they brought over a Gorgonzola one.
06:46A Gorgonzola! Those are different!
06:49Aye! That was live.
06:51And now it's dead.
06:52Well, that was one of my best stories. I tell it on every first date.
06:55Is there ever a second?
06:58Hey, how did it go with Joe?
07:00Fine. He said he'd take his meds.
07:01Really? You sure?
07:03Yes, really. Why is everyone...
07:05What?
07:07What happened?
07:17Oh, crap! Crap!
07:23No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:27No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:29No!
07:31No, no, no!
07:32Baby, get out!
07:33Close the door!
07:34Close the door!
07:34My God!
08:06Well, Martin, did you talk to Joe?
08:10Yes, he said he'd take his meds.
08:12Now, can we talk about how I'm a doctor with no electricity?
08:14Did you see him take them?
08:17No, I didn't, but I have no reason not to believe him.
08:21Doc!
08:21Nobody does what they say they're gonna do!
08:25Again, the more pressing issue is that electricity makes things work.
08:29You know, things like EKGs, nebulizers, pulse oximeters.
08:33Well, if you would have let us finish explaining yesterday,
08:35instead of criticizing my lobster bisque,
08:37you would have had the information that...
08:38At least enough of the time.
08:38Joe is in charge of the power grid.
08:41Duh!
08:42What?
08:43He comes in once a year to reset the grid,
08:46and it's that time of year, and he's the only one who knows how,
08:49and that's why it's so important that he leaves the house!
08:52Are you telling me that Port Wind's entire electrical grid
08:55hinges on the moods of Joe Bruck?
08:57We're a small electrical co-op.
09:00Lots of small towns run on grids like ours.
09:02We've never had an outage, till now.
09:04Storms, blizzards, never.
09:07You see, we love Joe, and we were concerned about him,
09:09but also, he keeps us running.
09:12Yeah, and you were supposed to keep Joe running.
09:16So now you're saying I'm somehow responsible for keeping the lights on?
09:18Yeah, kinda.
09:20Come on with me.
09:22I'm taking him the things he didn't pick up yesterday.
09:28Sure, I'll fix the power grid.
09:30Half the town's pretty diabetic, but don't worry.
09:32It's not like I'm busy.
09:34It's not like I'm busy.
09:37Louisa, what can I do for you?
09:40I'm on my way.
09:41I gotta make a stop.
09:43Thank you for coming.
09:45I know there's a lot going on.
09:47How are you?
09:48The whole town somehow thinks this power situation's my fault.
09:51Well, it is.
09:52Just kidding.
09:53Not really.
09:54No, not you too.
09:56I know Port Wind can be alive, but I, for one, am glad that you were here.
09:59Oh, that is a bold and unpopular opinion, but I appreciate it.
10:04Now, prepare yourself.
10:19So he shoved the whole apple in his mouth.
10:22McIntosh got your tongue?
10:23He was trying to make the other kids laugh.
10:26You know, fit in with them.
10:33I'm gonna need you to hold real still.
10:35Okay.
10:36I'm gonna have to remove some of the apples surgically before we can safely remove the rest.
10:50And trying to fit in was your first mistake.
10:54Fitting in as a refuge for the uninteresting.
10:59Who said that?
11:00I did.
11:01Just now.
11:02Oh.
11:03I thought it was a quote from someone who didn't get invited to parties.
11:05Hmm.
11:09And we're just almost done.
11:12And there we go.
11:13Oh.
11:16Yeah.
11:18Most avoidable procedure I've ever done.
11:24Ice your jaw and stick to soft foods for a few days.
11:29Oh, and one more thing, Peter.
11:30In our limited interaction, it's clear you're an exceptionally bright child who outshines most of his peers.
11:37Which means you probably won't meet your real friends until college.
11:42Yeah.
11:43Learn to enjoy your own company and don't be so desperate to win these kids over.
11:48You think I'm desperate?
11:49Can we talk outside for a moment?
11:53Okay.
11:54Just a quick second.
11:56Uh.
11:58What was that?
11:59What was what?
12:00You can't tell a child that he'll never make any friends.
12:03I've said until college.
12:04He's eight.
12:05Do I really have to explain this to you?
12:07Hey, I wish someone had told me that at his age.
12:09Because it's the truth.
12:10It's probably the best advice I'll ever get.
12:15Okay.
12:18Okay.
12:35Hey, Joe.
12:36How are you feeling?
12:37We brought all your stuff from town.
12:40Mind if we chat?
12:42I know why you're here.
12:43I don't have electricity either, you know.
12:45Well, we're all so concerned about you.
12:47You know that.
12:48Sure.
12:48And why are you here?
12:49Don't you have patients to tend to?
12:50Well, actually I do.
12:52Martin.
12:52And as a doctor, I want to also confirm that you took the meds as we discussed.
12:56Just don't pretend.
12:57You're both just here because you want me for the grid.
12:58That's not true.
12:59I want to make sure-
13:00Right.
13:00As a doctor.
13:01The truth is, you don't like people.
13:03You don't like me.
13:03I don't like you.
13:04What in the world does liking someone have to do with anything?
13:06I took an oath to help people, not to go to their birthday parties.
13:09I-
13:09And here we go.
13:10Screw you.
13:15Nice work.
13:16What?
13:25What's going on?
13:29Oh!
13:30Hey, Doc.
13:30Just setting up a generator.
13:32Had an old one in the shed.
13:33Just got it running.
13:34Yeah, first responders get priority, so.
13:36Hmm.
13:36Sound decision.
13:37I appreciate it.
13:37Of course, you'll be renting it from us, but don't worry.
13:40They'll get the friends and family right.
13:41Hmm.
13:43Touching.
13:49So what's in the room?
13:51No!
13:51I'm Quentin!
13:53All right.
13:59Will you turn that off?
14:00Why are you yelling?
14:02I'm in the middle of a very hot-tech situation.
14:04Hot-tech situation?
14:05Yes!
14:06He might be the man of my life.
14:07I need to help my mother.
14:08Ignore it up.
14:09Are you kidding me?
14:10You're all already here for my electricity.
14:12Elaine!
14:13Just leave me alone.
14:15Do you think that there's one underneath the desk?
14:17Excuse me.
14:17Oh my God!
14:18Don't touch me!
14:19What?
14:24Hey!
14:25Where can we plug this baby in?
14:27Obviously not here.
14:28You don't understand.
14:29We need to keep our inventory cool, or it will spoil.
14:32I'm not wasting our limited power on hair dryers and hot dogs.
14:37Hot dogs?
14:38Try lobster and leafy greens, sir.
14:40Try getting your own generator.
14:42You think we haven't tried?
14:43Handyman's having out on the interstate is completely sold out.
14:47And no one else has one.
14:48Hmm?
14:48Never needed one.
14:49Dr. Reese always got Joe to take his meds.
14:52You know what?
14:53That's it.
14:54Everyone out!
14:55Mm-hmm.
14:56We're saving our power for emergencies only.
14:59This is an emergency.
15:00You might need a sedative.
15:02Doc.
15:02Doc.
15:03I talked to the county.
15:04Oh, fantastic.
15:05When are they sending someone?
15:05Few days, minimum.
15:07No!
15:11Yeah, I don't think we have that kind of time.
15:12So I'm gonna go check the file again,
15:14see how Dr. Reese got Joe to take his meds.
15:20Doc.
15:22Doc.
15:22Doc.
15:23What should I do?
15:23Did you find anything else in the notes?
15:26Is there anything else Dr. Reese did for him?
15:29Ipiricum perforatum.
15:30Does that make Ron Weasley disappear?
15:31No.
15:32It's Latin for an herb called St. John's wort.
15:35Okay.
15:36Maybe Dr. Reese prescribed that to Joe.
15:38Instead of his medication,
15:39some people like the herbal stuff better.
15:40Well, it's no harm in giving it a try.
15:43Okay.
15:46Come on, folks!
15:47Let's not have a riot!
15:49But seriously, if you don't figure this out,
15:51there will be a riot.
15:5230 seconds.
15:54It's okay, man!
15:55It's okay!
16:10Louisa?
16:12Mark?
16:12Yeah, hi!
16:13I recognize your silhouette!
16:15That sounded weird.
16:16Um, what are you doing?
16:17Oh, I'm just walking around checking on folks,
16:19making sure they're okay.
16:20Geneva hasn't been feeling so great lately.
16:23Feeling so great lately.
16:23Thought the exact same thing.
16:25That's really nice of you.
16:26That's really nice of you.
16:31Well, should we?
16:32Yes.
16:33Yeah.
16:33Totally.
16:34Okay.
16:34Yeah.
16:37Oh, you go.
16:38You go.
16:39Hi, Geneva.
16:40It's Sheriff Mark and Louisa.
16:42Which is nice.
16:43Nice.
16:44Just checking in, seeing how you're doing.
16:46Yeah.
16:48Oh!
16:49Oh, no!
16:50No.
16:50Okay, I'm calling Dr. Best right now.
16:52Oh, what happened?
16:53It's gonna be okay.
16:54It's gonna be okay.
16:56Do you carry tinctures?
16:57Homeopathic nonsense for people who don't like science?
17:00Now, now, I feel it's always good to keep an open mind.
17:04Which one?
17:05St. John's wort.
17:06Ooh, nature's antidepressant.
17:09Why, yes.
17:11Are you sad?
17:14I know just how it feels to be all alone in a crisis.
17:22Thank God.
17:23This is Dr. Best?
17:26I see.
17:28I'll be right over.
17:32Just put this on my bill.
17:33Stay safe out there.
17:35I'll come check on you later.
17:36Please don't.
17:41Dreamboat.
17:44That's, um...
17:45That's quite a laceration.
17:47Yeah, I went out to the garage to get my good flashlight,
17:50and I hit my head on a ding-dang screw sticking out the side of the cabinet.
17:55I don't need those lights shining in my face while I'm working.
17:58But don't you need to see the wound?
18:00No.
18:00No, you can just turn them away.
18:02Oh.
18:03You know, if you could just move back while we're at it.
18:05So I just need a little time.
18:06Okay.
18:06A little time, a little space to work.
18:08I just need...
18:08Oh, okay.
18:09Yeah, no, no, I'm good.
18:10I'm good.
18:10It's just dark.
18:12Thanks, thanks.
18:13It's none of my beeswax, but you two are so darling together.
18:17Oh.
18:19I think so too.
18:19The good news is, uh, we can close this right up.
18:22And it'll just take a moment.
18:23Like two peas in a pod.
18:26Are you really not gonna get back together?
18:28This is probably not the time...
18:29Not unless you're gonna change your mind.
18:31Oh, please.
18:32Again.
18:33I just need to...
18:35Sides of laceration together.
18:38Just for a moment.
18:39You know, honey, you're not getting any younger.
18:41Uh-huh.
18:41And he's such a doll.
18:43Okay.
18:44Are you done yet?
18:45I feel like this isn't the time for you talking about my ovaries, but you know.
18:48I'm in no rush.
18:48Just, everyone show up.
18:48Okay.
18:49Yep, that's good.
18:50Just keep that on for 24 to 48 hours, and we are done here.
18:53Great job.
18:54Oh.
18:54Oh, wait.
18:55I mean, what do we do now?
18:58I mean, have you made any headway with Joe?
18:59Oh, well, I'm gonna see him at his place tomorrow morning and see if some magic drops will help convince
19:05him to turn the power back on.
19:06I'll go with you, Doc.
19:07You might need backup.
19:08I'm sure I won't.
19:09Sorry.
19:09I insist things could get nasty.
19:11Pick you up first thing.
19:12Really great work tonight, Boo.
19:14Damn it.
19:14I should not call you Boo.
19:16I love when he calls you Boo.
19:18Mm.
19:19Good night, Martin.
19:20Good night, Mark.
19:21Good night.
19:23All right.
19:24Well, uh, keep that dry.
19:26Come see me in a few days and stay out of your garage.
19:28Sounds like a death trap.
19:36We could play gin rummy.
19:38Oh, I love gin rummy.
20:10Ah!
20:11What's the matter with you?
20:12Screwed me half to death.
20:13Well, at your age, that milkshake will take care of the other half.
20:16Besides, you broke into my house.
20:18It's not breaking in if you're family.
20:20That's definitely not true.
20:21We wouldn't be in this situation if you just listened to me in the first place and been
20:26a little nicer to Joe.
20:27Or you all could have just, I don't know, updated the power grid.
20:30I'm so sorry we're not all as perfect as you, Martin.
20:33But you know, people are complicated and messy.
20:37But everyone matters.
20:39And sometimes you just have to show a little grace and meet them where they are.
20:43Thank you for the life lesson.
20:45Now, how about you save my electricity and your arteries and go home?
20:50If I'd been a real burglar, that wing tip wouldn't have done jack squat.
20:54I'd prefer a real burglar.
20:55They'd be quieter.
20:56Doc, I stubbed my damn foot in the dark.
21:15Hey!
21:17What?
21:17I've got sensitive skin.
21:19It's called folliculitis.
21:21It's called trespassing.
21:23Out!
21:26Thanks.
21:26I'll look like crap now because of you, Doc.
21:31Elaine!
21:32Blackout.
21:33Day two.
21:35Um, last night was terrible.
21:37I just laid awake in bed with nothing to look at.
21:41My phone was cold and dead.
21:43And then the next thing I know, like, it was the morning.
21:45In other words, you accidentally got a good night's sleep.
21:48That makes one of us.
21:49Now unplug that.
21:50Ready to roll, partner?
21:52Again, I don't need a partner.
21:53I'm just going to Joe's house to drop off the St. John's ward.
21:56Okay, wait.
21:56Then I'm coming with you.
21:57Zero percent chance.
21:58That will be helpful.
21:59So I should just sit here and wait to die.
22:01But nobody's dying.
22:02John!
22:02This is great, right?
22:03Bud's on a mission.
22:05Should've hit the siren on the way out there.
22:07Definitely not.
22:28Okay.
22:29I'm just going to offer him the tincture.
22:30You stay in the car, both feet.
22:35Back up.
22:37We discussed this.
22:45Just...
22:51Joe?
22:52Are you here?
23:03Boys, how you doing?
23:05Fine.
23:06Our inventory, not so much.
23:08We're all in the same boat.
23:09I think there's only one thing to do.
23:12Modernize our power grid.
23:13Martin is right about that.
23:15But the other thing is...
23:17Potluck!
23:18Everybody makes their favorite dish, and we make a party out of it.
23:21Hardly the occasion for a party.
23:24Adios.
23:24Avocados.
23:25Chow cherries.
23:26Toodaloo tomatoes.
23:28No, no, no.
23:29We make lemonade out of lemons.
23:31Ha!
23:33We break out the karaoke machine.
23:35It's battery operated.
23:36Okay?
23:37We sing our troubles away.
23:38Oh, my God.
23:39This is going to be so much fun.
23:42Fine!
23:44He will use any excuse to sing I'm Still Here.
23:47I know.
23:50Joe?
23:52Are you here?
23:53No.
23:59Hi, Joe.
24:03Is this what you've been like since the last time I saw you?
24:06Go away.
24:07What do you care?
24:08Well, I'm concerned, Joe.
24:09I...
24:10I brought a tincture.
24:13Hypericum perforatum.
24:14What are you talking about, Dumbledore?
24:16St. John's wort.
24:17Yeah, it's a lovely flower, but I don't know what a tincture is.
24:20Dr. Reese never gave it to you for depression?
24:22When you decided you didn't like taking your regular meds?
24:24No, and there you go talking about meds again.
24:26Joe, I want to ask you some questions.
24:29Have you been eating?
24:31Sleeping?
24:32Have you found a lack of enjoyment with activities that you would normally...
24:35Let me just stop you there, Doc.
24:37I've taken this questionnaire a thousand times.
24:38I'm eating fine.
24:39I'm sleeping fine.
24:40I haven't had thoughts of harming myself, I promise.
24:42I just really don't want to leave this couch.
24:46Like, ever again.
24:48Hey, Joe, but what about your garden?
24:52Like, don't you need to weed it and pick things?
24:57I know that your carrots miss you, buddy.
25:00Yeah, I know it's pretty bad if I don't even really want to be around my plants.
25:04I mean, they're usually the only things that'll make me feel better.
25:06But what do you mean the only thing that makes you...
25:08Joe!
25:10Listen, just come out and fix the grid, okay?
25:12Because I'm freaking out super hard, so anything bad that I might do is going to be your fault.
25:17Over!
25:18Get out.
25:19You guys are terrible at this, by the way.
25:20Get out.
25:21Get out.
25:22Joe.
25:23I know that we should not have brought her.
25:26You told me to bring her.
25:33Elaine, thank you so much.
25:36You were such a great help.
25:38To be honest, I think you could have handled that better.
25:43What are you doing now?
25:45Going back to Joe's file, there's got to be some way I can help him.
25:49What is it with this St. John's wort?
25:52He said it's a nice flower.
25:54What does that even mean?
25:54Why are you asking me?
25:56I know it's in his file somewhere.
25:58Hello, hello.
26:00Hi, Geneva. Is everything okay?
26:02Perfectly fine. I just wanted to thank you.
26:05Oh, my gosh. Is this your stovetop apple upside-down cake?
26:10Yes, the very one.
26:11Oh, that is so nice. Let me grab us some plates.
26:15That is, like, my favorite cake in the whole world. Seriously.
26:20How do you get that texture so yummy and crunchy?
26:22Oh, it's the crushed pecans.
26:26Oh.
26:30Would you like a piece?
26:32I don't eat sweets.
26:32Oh.
26:34Well, I just wanted to thank you.
26:37You came out in the middle of the night.
26:41You're my hero.
26:43See?
26:45That's how things work around here.
26:47You do something nice for somebody and you plant a seed.
26:50And maybe they bring you a gift the next day.
26:52Or maybe years pass by before they...
26:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:56You reap what you sow.
26:57I don't know what that means.
27:03You reap what you sow.
27:16And you're welcome.

31:20Okay.
31:22And now, the performance you've all been waiting for.
31:26A perennial favorite here at karaoke night
31:30at the Salty Breeze.
31:33Oh, sweetie, you just went.
31:34Right.
31:40I couldn't resist.
31:44Yeah.
31:57Oh.
32:01Why I was being so goofy.
32:04Why?
32:09Baby, let's cruise away from here.
32:21Don't be confused.
32:23And the way is clear.
32:30And if you want it, you've got it forever.
32:36This is not a one-night stand. No, no, no.
32:43They really are a great couple.
32:46But you never know.
32:47There might be somebody out there even better for both of them.
32:54You're gonna fly away.
32:57Let the world go away.
33:00Let the world go away by another woman.
33:05Let the world go away from here.
33:12Moment.
33:26ì •
33:37How's it going?
33:38Uh, super terrible, obviously.
33:41Soap was so good.
33:42Could have been my breakthrough.
33:43And now I'm sitting here bleeding fans like an idiot.
33:46That sucks, really.
33:48But luckily, you don't need to have a talk show just to be able to talk.
33:53What?
33:54Talk to who?
33:55I was thinking that you and me could have a conversation.
33:58A conversation?
34:00What is it, Spanish glass?
34:01Okay, just an ending.
34:03Okay, sorry.
34:03Fine, fine, fine.
34:04Sorry.
34:07Sorry, I know it's not as entertaining as sitting two feet across from each other in a text.
34:11But here goes.
34:13Okay, ready?
34:14What is your favorite animal?
34:18Unicorn, next question.
34:20What?
34:20I like that answer, actually.
34:22What's your favorite animal?
34:23Uh, I like, uh, shark when I'm feeling mean.
34:29I'm mean.
34:31Music is made for love.
34:33Cruising is made for love.
34:39Oh.
34:40Oh.
34:40Oh.
34:41Oh.
34:43Oh.
34:45Will you just go away?
34:47Just go away and leave me alone, dog.
34:49Go.
34:50Is that your dog?
34:52No.
35:07Hey, Peter.
35:10Yesterday, when I said that trying to have those kids like you was desperate, I, uh, misspoke.
35:18It's not desperate to want to have friends.
35:21It's normal.
35:24So, I guess what I'm trying to say is, um, I, uh, apologize.
35:33Okay.
35:34But sticking that apple in my mouth was pretty desperate.
35:42So, telescope, huh?
35:45Do you have a favorite planet?
35:48What's your dog's name?
35:49Oh, he's not my dog.
35:51He seems like your dog.
35:52I assure you, he's not.
35:54Uh, did you tell me about the planets?
35:56C-F-B-D-S-I-R-2-1-4-9.
36:01I beg your pardon?
36:02It was ejected from its original system.
36:04It just wanders in space alone.
36:07Astronomers call it the loneliest planet.
36:09Well, astronomers sound like a real blast to hang out with.
36:11Copernicus!
36:12Apparently now we're just playing name the astronomer, hmm?
36:15No, that should be what you name your dog.
36:19Copernicus figured out.
36:20The earth revolves around the sun, not the other way around.
36:24I could walk Copernicus sometimes, if you pay me five bucks.
36:29Uh, or not.
36:30I could do it for free.
36:33Oh, shoot.
36:34Do I sound desperate again?
36:36No.
36:38You're good.
37:04I'm sorry, everybody.
37:05Um, I think it was too soon for cruising.
37:08I'm not ready for the friend zone yet, okay?
37:13Mark.
37:15It's finally over.
37:17You survived.
37:18Congrats.
37:19You know that I totally yelled at the doc today?
37:21You know what that means, right?
37:22Uh, he fired you again?
37:25I saved this town.
37:27I guess he did.
37:29Congrats.
37:30I told you, there's nothing that you can't do.
37:37You probably want to go charge your phone, right?
37:40You can have another round first.
37:43Oh.
37:44Of a drink.
37:45Yep.
37:49Mark?
37:52Hey.
37:53Um.
37:55What, uh, what you doing in here?
37:58Not everybody sings like that together.
38:00You understand that, right?
38:02Yes.
38:02Our, our voices blend like the colors of a glorious sunset.
38:05We both love Turkey Taco Tuesday.
38:07We both think the cilantro tastes like soap.
38:10We both don't like it when our food touches on the plate.
38:13We both hung in there for pretty little lives for way too long.
38:16We both love it when the leaves turn color and helping people put up their Christmas lights
38:20and getting up early and working out and crushing karaoke and making a difference.
38:25I think you're very hot when you're dressed up.
38:28I think you're very hot when you're in your old ass pajamas and your bunny slippers.
38:31And I know, I know that my jokes are dumb, but they made you laugh.
38:37And your laugh is like, it's like, it's like my favorite sound in the whole wide world,
38:43Louisa, so I just don't get it, man.
38:46I don't get it.
38:47Like, is that not enough?
38:48Mark.
38:49I know, Mark.
38:49I, I, I know all of that.
38:51And you're right.
38:52There, there were so many great things.
38:56And, and I miss karaoke.
38:58I, I miss your jokes.
38:59So just come back.
39:00Mark.
39:02I know, I know I shouldn't have said that.
39:04I'm sorry.
39:06Whatever that, that thing was that was missing, it just,
39:12it just, it just didn't seem fair to keep going if it, if it wasn't right.
39:18But it was right for me.
39:22I know.
39:25I just thought that we were going to grow old together, you know.
39:33Me too.
39:38Is there any way that we can just accept that we're both good people that love each other a lot
39:48and that this is really hard and we're doing our best?
39:54I can try.
39:56Okay.
39:57Okay.
40:04Karaoke night's going to suck without us.
40:06Deal straight.
40:09Under the Milky Way tonight
40:17Wish I knew what you were looking for
40:25Might have known what you would find
40:33See?
40:35It's faint, but it's right there, near the Pleiades.
40:39So it's not so lonesome after all.
40:42Yeah, maybe not.
40:49Under the Milky Way tonight
41:04Under the Milky Way tonight
41:07Under the Milky Way tonight
41:19Under the Milky Way, the Milky Way tonight
41:25Under the Milky Way, the Milky Way tonight
41:25Under the Milky Way, the Milky Way tonight
41:25Under the Milky Way, the Milky Way tonight
41:26Under the Milky Way, the Milky Way tonight
