00:03Eli Scruggs was the handiest of all handymen.
00:09You could ask any of his customers and they would tell you there was nothing he couldn't fix.
00:16Whether it was a broken vase, a leaky pipe, or a shaky banister,
00:27Eli always knew how to get the job done.
00:41Eli Scruggs, get down from there.
00:44Mrs. McCluskey.
00:46Just found this note in my mailbox. As you're retiring, what the hell?
00:49Yes, ma'am. It's true.
00:51Now why would you want to do something stupid like that?
00:53My doc says I got a bum ticker. I have to take it easy from now on.
00:57Well, once I'm done fixing Mrs. Meyer's shingle, I'm on a plane to Waikiki.
01:02Well, this is very annoying. Who's going to fix my water heater when it breaks?
01:06Oh, I met this young guy named Toby. Very bright, just turned 30. He'll take care of you.
01:12Dammit, Eli! I am not comfortable with strangers in my house.
01:15It took me 10 years to trust you.
01:17I know.
01:18Most of those guys leave tools and nails all over the place.
01:22You never leave a mess.
01:24Thank you, ma'am.
01:26Have you told everyone else you're leaving?
01:27I left copies of that same note in everybody's mailbox.
01:30Well, that's not right.
01:32After all these years, people will want to say goodbye.
01:35Or maybe throw you a party or something.
01:37Oh, no. I prefer to go quietly, if you know what I mean.
01:40I don't want a big fuss.
01:43Well, I'll miss you, Eli.
01:45There will never be another one like you.
01:50With that, Eli Scruggs climbed his ladder for the very last time.
01:56And once he had finished making his last repair, Eli Scruggs, quietly, with no fuss, had a heart attack and
02:06died.
02:09And most importantly, without leaving a mess.
02:18It took an hour for someone to finally notice the body laying atop Susan Meyer's roof.
02:32It was less than ten minutes later that the neighbors began arriving.
02:37Each determined to get a look at the various paramedics and policemen,
02:42who were all frantically trying to figure out exactly how to bring the body down.
02:52And it took two days for my friends to realize this tragedy had affected them.
02:59We're ready. Come on.
03:01More than they were willing to admit.
03:06Hey, Gabby, did you remember to get change?
03:08Because when I cash in my chips, I don't want to hear you say all I've got is fifties.
03:11Speaking of cashing in your chips, anyone know when Eli's funeral is?
03:14Oh, I think it's Saturday.
03:15I wonder how many people are going to show up.
03:17Miss McCluskey was saying he didn't have much family.
03:19Poor Eli. We should make sure he's got flowers at his funeral.
03:22I'm in. How much are we talking?
03:23I don't know. What do you think, Gabby?
03:26Gabby?
03:38Wow, Jimmy Choo!
03:41Oh, Carlos. These aren't even in the States yet.
03:45What's the catch?
03:48What are you talking about?
03:49You never buy me a present unless I'm mad or about to be mad.
03:52And I don't think I am, so why am I about to be?
03:54I have to go to Cleveland tomorrow.
03:56Carlos!
03:56They're begging me. The merger's going south.
03:59You just got home.
04:01With shoes.
04:03Don't leave me here. I'm going out of my mind.
04:06Everyone is so boring and suburban.
04:09And how many freaking honor students can that school have?
04:12Can we please not argue in front of the handyman?
04:14He has a name.
04:17What's your name?
04:18Eli Scruggs.
04:20You hear that, Carlos?
04:22You've brought me to a place where people are named Eli Scruggs.
04:24Fine. I'll give up my job and everything that comes with it.
04:28Not the Jimmy Choo's.
04:31They're the only friends I've got.
04:33Thought so.
04:34I'm going to pack.
04:39You know, it's none of my business.
04:41You're right. It's not.
04:42But the ladies in this neighborhood are actually pretty nice.
04:45Yeah. They came by. Brought muffins.
04:48One of them wants her basket back.
04:49That'd be Brie.
04:51Anyhow, she and the other ladies play poker every week.
04:54If you like, I could talk to them.
04:57See if they'll let you host a game.
05:05Hi. We're, um, the neighborhood.
05:08Gabrielle invited us to play poker.
05:14So, is she in?
05:16Mrs. Solis will be right down.
05:19She likes to make an entrance.
05:22What does that mean, an entrance?
05:24Hello there.
05:27Welcome to my home.
05:31Oh.
05:32That's what it means.
05:34So, I said pumpkin.
05:36That's what I call Jon Bon Jovi.
05:37I said pumpkin.
05:38Even if I could steer a yacht,
05:39I'm certainly not about to do it in five-inch heels.
05:43True story.
05:44Well, you've certainly had quite a glamorous life.
05:47That was before my husband moved me here to East Nowhere.
05:50Seriously, I don't know how you girls do it.
05:52Do what?
05:53Get out of bed in the morning.
05:55I've only lived here a month and I want to put a gun to my head.
05:57You know what I mean?
06:00No, we don't.
06:01There are no good nightclubs, no theater.
06:04What do you do for a good time?
06:05Well, we watch the kids play soccer.
06:07And the school drama department puts on some really great shows.
06:10And then there's church, of course.
06:13Church.
06:16Oh, you're serious.
06:20Look, I know it's quiet here, but I think you'll find there's a real charm to Fairview.
06:25No, no, it's cute.
06:26It's cute, I get that.
06:27It's just, I was a top-tier fashion model,
06:30and I guess I'm just going to have to get used to the fact that the best part of my
06:34life is behind me.
06:37Goodbye doing vodka shots with Kate Moss,
06:39and hello to sipping international coffee with you girls.
06:47Full house!
06:54Yes?
06:55Hello, it's Mr. Solis here.
06:57Oh, I got it, I got it. Go, go, go, go.
06:58Ma'am, here's the bill for fixing your sink.
07:00Okay, thank you.
07:02By the way, you made quite an impression at the poker game.
07:06Really?
07:06Oh yeah, the ladies can't stop talking about you.
07:09Oh, well, I'm sure it was kind of exciting for them to have a star in their midst.
07:13Let me think, did they say star?
07:15I heard, uh, stuck up.
07:18Obnoxious.
07:19Bitch.
07:22What?
07:23You know, I went out on a limb to get you into that game.
07:26And then you go in there acting like you're better than they are.
07:29Oh, my clothes said that, not me.
07:32Well, did you ask them anything about their lives?
07:35Why would they want to talk about their lives? Their lives are boring.
07:37Oh, you know what's going to be really boring?
07:40You, sitting here alone in this big house without any friends.
07:43If I were you, I'd drop the attitude. Learn to like your neighbors.
07:49Well, thanks for the advice. You want to add that to your bill?
07:52Nope. It's on the house.
08:00I brought muffins.
08:06That's so nice.
08:08We were just playing poker.
08:10And I wasn't invited.
08:13I know, I get it.
08:14I just wanted to tell you guys, I know, I made a horrible first impression.
08:19Now you know why models don't usually talk.
08:22Because we say a lot of stupid patronizing things that make people want to avoid us.
08:27What I should have said was, my husband's never home.
08:31I miss the city.
08:33I miss my life.
08:38I'm lonely all the time.
08:41And I could really use some friends.
08:48Anyway, here.
08:56Now that's how you make an entrance.
09:05Gabi!
09:07I'm sorry, what?
09:08We're getting a wreath for Eli's funeral.
09:10Are you in?
09:12Actually, why don't you let me pay for it?
09:13It could still be from all of us.
09:14No, you don't have to do that.
09:18I sorta do.
09:21Now let's pay some poker.
09:25Alright, time for my luck to change.
09:27This hand is for Eli.
09:30Hmm, next hand is for Eli.
09:33You know, if we're gonna have a get together after the funeral, we should start thinking about food.
09:36And by we and food you mean Brie, right?
09:38I thought that was clear.
09:40I'd be happy to. Any special requests?
09:42How about we pick something from your cookbook?
09:44Great! Gabi, do you have your copy?
09:47I'll go get it.
09:55You used my cookbook to balance your table?
09:58Oh, it's only temporary.
10:00Juanita needed her coloring book back.
10:05Alright.
10:06Watch out, ladies.
10:07I'm just telling you, I got a pair of something.
10:09I'm in the garden.
10:20I'm sorry if the frittata is a bit dry.
10:23Oh, are you kidding? It's great. She should give Lynette the recipe.
10:25Yes, because that's what women in their eighth month really crave. More stove time.
10:29Mine is so erratic, I'm not even sure what the real temperature is.
10:33Of course, if a certain doctor would loosen the purse string...
10:36We're not getting a new stove.
10:37If you would just take on a few more patients, we could afford it.
10:39Well, if I'm not supporting you adequately, my dear, by all means, feel free to do something about it.
10:45Such as?
10:45Well, you could, maybe, I don't know, get a job.
10:49I have a job. I'm a homemaker.
10:52And a damn good one.
10:53So, to make this, do you just sauté some ham and some onions and...
10:57It's not happening, Tom.
10:58I just sometimes think maybe you would appreciate the value of a dollar more if you had to work outside
11:02the home.
11:03And I think you would appreciate my value more if, for once, you had to cook your own food and
11:07wash your own clothes.
11:08Lynette makes me sew my own buttons.
11:10I'll sew anything you want if you just stop getting me pregnant.
11:13I want a new stove, Rex, and if I need to get a job to pay for it, so be
11:17it.
11:17If you're looking for a stove, we've got one that's hardly ever been used.
11:21I wish I could say the same for my uterus.
11:28Oh, yeah. I ruined the brunch.
11:36Hey, how's it looking under there, Eli?
11:38Is it gonna cost me an arm and a leg?
11:40A few fingers, maybe.
11:44Honey, my stomach's growling. When's dinner?
11:47Oh, we're having leftovers. You can heat them up yourself if you want.
11:51Since when do we have leftovers?
11:53Since I started writing my own cookbook.
11:56Remember how you told me I should start making my own money?
11:58Well, I've been going through all my old recipes and I've got this great idea for a real homestyle American
12:03cookbook.
12:05You're not serious.
12:06Why wouldn't I be? People are always complimenting me on my cooking.
12:09You're great, but come on, every bored housewife who pulls off a decent lasagna thinks she can write a cookbook.
12:15You think I'm just like every other housewife?
12:17No, no, no. That's not what I'm saying. It's just that...
12:22What do you really know about writing?
12:23I'll learn. And I want it to be more than just a cookbook.
12:26I want to talk about traditional values and give helpful hints about homemaking.
12:30Look, look, this is my fault.
12:32You know, I was ribbing you the other day about getting a job and you took it seriously.
12:37If you really want a new stove, I'll get you a stove.
12:43Now, can you stop his foolishness and make me something to eat that isn't leftovers?
12:46I can't help your neighbors.
12:52But I'll take care of any of this.
12:52I will give them a thing and make me something else.
12:53I'm sorry, I'll give them some noise and keep it off the stove.
13:00I am sorry, I'll give it back.
13:03And I'm sorry, I think I'll give it back.
13:04Obviously, I don't have a need for it.
13:05You're a good point of advice.
13:05I thought that you don't have a problem.
13:06You're not going to get me.
13:06No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know.
13:06No, I'm sorry.
13:07I'm sorry, I don't be a need for it.
13:09You're a good person.
13:09I don't know if you're a liar.
13:16Ms. Vanicamp, I fixed your banister.
13:19She'll be fine now.
13:23I'll just go.
13:24You can pay me whenever.
13:25I know this is a rough time for you.
13:27Thanks, Elon.
13:30By the way, service for Mr. V was really nice.
13:39You were there?
13:40I sat in the back of the church.
13:42I wanted to say goodbye to Mr. V.
13:47So, uh, have you thought about what you're going to do now?
13:53You mean with my life?
13:56I don't know.
14:00Mrs. V, I've been meaning to give this to you for a while now,
14:06but you'll never find the right moment.
14:14I kept it for you just in case you might need it someday.
14:21Hope you don't mind.
14:25I've got to tell you, I made your Cajun meatloaf.
14:28Woo!
14:29That may be my favorite meal ever.
14:33I can't believe you saved this.
14:38Curse, I'm not really in the mood to write a cookbook right now.
14:43Well, maybe one day you will be.
14:54Hey, Brie, I know what you can make for the week.
14:55That flaky breaded shrimp thing.
15:00Thanks, but I know exactly what I'm going to make.
15:09Dave, it was a nice trip, but I've got to tell you,
15:11I don't know why we spent all that money going to the Bahamas.
15:13If we're not going to leave the hotel room,
15:15then why not just cover ourselves in suntan lotion and have sex here?
15:20You just got a message from Mrs. McCluskey.
15:22Oh?
15:24She said your handyman died.
15:27Eli?
15:29Oh, my God.
15:30He was working on Susan's roof and dropped out of a heart attack.
15:33Can you believe that?
15:44No, no, no.
15:45You are not going to the gym again.
15:47You said we were going to have afternoon sex.
15:49Well, do it when I get back.
15:50You say that every time, Umberto, and then you're too tired.
15:52Maybe I wouldn't be if you weren't so clingy.
15:55Hey, Clingy, we haven't had sex in two weeks.
15:58It's like I'm 15 again.
16:00What's wrong with us?
16:02Not us.
16:02You.
16:03Your libido is out of control.
16:06Umberto?
16:06Look, you've got a drawer full of toys.
16:08Use them.
16:22Oh!
16:23Oh!
16:24Eli, I forgot you were in there.
16:27Yeah, I'm done fixing your faucet.
16:28Actually, I was done 10 minutes ago, but I was afraid to come out.
16:31I'm sorry you heard all of that.
16:33The good news is, while I was in there, I re-grounded your tub.
16:36Recharge!
16:39Wait a second.
16:44What do you think of my ass?
16:47Sorry?
16:47My ass on a scale from 1 to 10.
16:51Well, I, I, I, I...
16:53Tick tock!
16:5310.
16:54It's 10.
16:56And the boobs?
16:58Perky and firm?
17:00You've named them?
17:01Oh, come on, Eli.
17:02My husband won't have sex with me.
17:04I just need to make sure it's not me.
17:09It's not you.
17:10You sure?
17:11Trust me.
17:11I used to work in construction.
17:13My buddies would have gone crazy for you.
17:15Cat calls, nasty gestures.
17:18Hey, you with the sweater mates!
17:19If you ever need any work done, call me.
17:21Because I got the perfect tool for the job.
17:24You, you, you kept the drift.
17:27Yeah, I do.
17:29That was insulting and demeaning.
17:32Oh.
17:34Thank you so much.
17:45Miss Brant?
17:47Your door was wide open.
17:49Got the paint?
17:49You want to check the color?
17:53Is everything okay?
17:55Things are great.
17:58You want some wine?
18:00We're celebrating.
18:02What's the occasion?
18:03I am no longer married to a gay guy.
18:07Umberto was gay.
18:09So you wasted your time installing that light in the closet because he went flying out of there.
18:15At least you know now it wasn't you.
18:18Wasn't it?
18:19He said that being married to me was what convinced him that he liked men.
18:25You can imagine what a boost to the ego that was.
18:30Come on.
18:32You've had a gay guy sleeping with you for two years and those guys are pretty hard to land.
18:39No, no, no, no.
18:41No need to be sad.
18:44You're a knockout.
18:53I need this handbag.
18:56It's hard to be a handyman without a hand.
19:03What are you doing?
19:05You put the mirror over my bed.
19:09You know exactly what I'm doing.
19:14Are you sure about this?
19:15I don't want to take advantage of you.
19:19Oh, I'm sure you'll be gentle.
19:26Anyway, I guess they're burying him on Saturday.
19:29Obviously, you want to go.
19:31Yeah.
19:34I do.
19:39I'll leave that black dress out.
19:40I'll get it dry clean for the funeral.
19:43A little sexy for a funeral, isn't it?
19:47I don't think Eli would mind.
19:57Mom?
19:58That's Penny.
19:59I'll be right back.
20:01Mom!
20:03Hey, sweetie.
20:05What's up?
20:06You said you'd help me with my math.
20:09We're dividing fractions.
20:11Oh.
20:12I wish you'd caught me two Chardonnays ago.
20:15Mommy, you promised.
20:16I know.
20:17But Mommy's still planning Eli's memorial.
20:21Start without me.
20:22I'll be there in a little while.
20:41Oh my gosh, Lynette.
20:42Are you okay?
20:44The doctor just called.
20:46I'm pregnant.
20:48This is fantastic.
20:50Yeah, whoop-de-doo.
20:53Honey, you don't sound too happy about this.
20:56I was planning to go back to work.
20:59What?
20:59What are you talking about?
21:01I had it in the back of my mind for a while.
21:03And then yesterday, I got a phone.
21:04Hold it.
21:10Sorry.
21:10I was having trouble paying attention.
21:13Jeffrey Cuevas is retiring in September.
21:16I am the perfect person to step into his job.
21:19And that is exactly when Parker starts kindergarten.
21:23The timing is like a dream.
21:25But what about our dream of having a little girl?
21:28This could be our chance.
21:29Oh, please.
21:30You know it's going to be a boy.
21:32It's always a boy.
21:33It's just going to pee in my face and hide dead things in my shoes.
21:38I'm doing this, Tom.
21:39I am going after this job.
21:42But who's going to take care of the kids?
21:45Well, I was hoping you could cut back on your hours at work.
21:48I can't do that.
21:50I have a career.
21:53You did not just say that.
21:56No, I didn't.
21:58Tom, I cannot just stay at home wiping noses.
22:03I need it for my sanity, and I need you to back me up.
22:07Oh, oh.
22:13Well, the kids are up.
22:14They're going to want their breakfast.
22:18And I'm going to back you up by making it for her.
22:25My hero.
22:27Jeff Cuevas is fantastic, but I know I could take him to a whole new level.
22:34The hell is that?
22:36Oh, my water broke.
22:38Take the overnight bag out to the car.
22:40Oh, three weeks.
22:41That's a little soon.
22:42But, uh, sure, I could make that work.
22:44For God's sakes, Lynette, we've got to go to the hospital.
22:46In a minute, I'm trying to lock this job down.
22:49What kind of perks are we talking about here?
22:52Okay, you're having contractions?
22:54That's a good one.
22:54I swear if you touch this phone, I will have to speed me right here and then beat you with
22:58it.
22:59You're insane.
23:01We have to go.
23:02Could you hold on one second?
23:04We agreed.
23:06I could go back to work after I gave birth.
23:07After, Lynette, not during.
23:10I'm sorry.
23:12Is there any way we could finish this conversation tomorrow?
23:18Oh, later in the day works better for me, too.
23:21Well, thank you very much.
23:23Bye.
23:24Hey.
23:25I got the job.
23:27Congratulations.
23:28Baby's arm is sticking out.
23:30Why don't you high-five it?
23:31Tom, I am in pain.
23:32Do you mind?
23:35Oh, you'll see, Tom.
23:37I know.
23:38People say that you...
23:42You can't have it all, but I know we can.
23:46Oh, Mr. Swenson, I can't tell you how excited I am.
23:51Maybe you could schedule a staff meeting so I could hit the ground running on Monday?
23:55No, no.
23:56No, it can't be Friday because, remember, we agreed that we would start next week.
24:16So, again, thank you so much for this opportunity.
24:19Mrs. Cabo?
24:20Yeah.
24:21I think you might have forgotten something.
24:26Could you hold on a second?
24:30Oh, my God.
24:32Oh, my God.
24:34Well, I was...
24:36I was on the phone.
24:37I was talking to my new boss, and I...
24:40She was only in there for a minute.
24:41But it's 85 degrees outside.
24:43I've never done this before.
24:46You got a lot on your mind.
24:48Three kids and a newborn.
24:50Sounds like a new job.
24:52Yeah, I do.
24:54Yeah.
24:55There's a lot to handle.
24:57There you go.
25:13I should probably get back to Susan's windows.
25:15Uh, you take care.
25:25Lynette, are you still there?
25:28Lynette?
25:29Hello?
25:31Are you still there?
25:36Hey, are you coming back in?
25:40No.
25:42I'm going to go help my daughter with her homework.
25:45Hey, Penny, wait up!
26:12I'm going to go help my daughter.
26:27Yard sale!
26:30Oh, good.
26:31You're here.
26:33How are you, Eli?
26:35I'm fine.
26:35You?
26:36Great.
26:37Yeah, I haven't worn these jeans in a while, and I found 20 bucks in the pocket.
26:40Don't you just help when that happens?
26:42Also, Carl left me for a secretary, so I need you to change these locks.
26:47Oh, I'm so sorry.
26:49Oh, thanks, but don't be.
26:51Just hurry.
26:52Carl said he was coming by to get some of the stuff, and I want this place to be a
26:55fortress.
26:56Bye, then.
26:58You're doing all right, though.
26:59Oh, well, on one hand, I got dumped for a pair of headlights named Brandy.
27:04On the other, I reported Carl's credit card stolen, and I cut the pockets out of all of his pants.
27:08So, a little from column A, a little from column B.
27:13Oh!
27:15Sorry.
27:19If it's any consolation, redheads are nuts.
27:22What do you mean?
27:24She'll make his life a living hell.
27:25It sounds like what he deserves.
27:27Brandy's not a redhead.
27:28She's blonde.
27:34So, uh, you maybe want to go with a deadbolt this time?
27:45I saw him around town a couple times with a redhead.
27:48Uh, people in the neighborhood were talking.
27:51I thought you knew.
27:53I didn't.
27:55Would you feel any better knowing that, uh, she's kind of chubby?
27:59Just leave.
28:01Just leave.
28:01But what about the locks?
28:03If Carl is coming...
28:04Change the locks.
28:05Then leave.
28:06Okay.
28:08But I really am sorry.
28:09Change the locks.
28:10Don't talk to me.
28:11Then leave.
28:19Susan?
28:23Susan, did you call me?
28:24I couldn't really understand the message.
28:30Oh, wow.
28:32You want me to come back later?
28:36Are you all right?
28:39No.
28:40Of course you're not.
28:43I heard you and Mike are getting divorced.
28:45I'm sorry.
28:47Probably not what you want to hear, but...
28:49I thought you were a great couple.
28:51Thanks.
28:53Sweet.
29:03Do you maybe remember what you wanted me to do?
29:07Locks.
29:08Change the locks.
29:09Got it.
29:10Let me go see what I got out of my truck.
29:33Susan, I don't know much about love.
29:36I dabbled in it once or twice, but it always seemed more trouble than it was.
29:41I told myself I wasn't missing much.
29:46But watching you all these years, how hard you've tried, how hurt you've been.
29:57But you still keep getting back up, you dust yourself off, and you try again.
30:05Maybe I am missing something, maybe.
30:11Maybe it is worth it.
30:17And I'm sure it's not going to help for you to hear me tell you this, but you're damn heroic
30:22to me.
30:25You are.
30:33Yeah.
30:40Hey, just dropping these off.
30:42Finally got them cut.
30:43Tell Jackson I'm sorry it took me so long.
30:45Actually, Jackson and I split up.
30:50Well, I'm sorry.
30:53Am I sorry?
30:54Oh, yeah.
30:55He's a great guy.
30:57I just want to be alone right now.
31:02Well, good for you.
31:04Oh, hey.
31:05As long as you're here, I think there's a loose shingle on my roof.
31:10Do you think maybe you could fix it for me?
31:12Oh, I'd be happy to.
31:14But just so you know, it'll be the last thing I ever fix for you.
31:17I'm retiring.
31:19What?
31:20Well, today's my last day.
31:22You can't retire.
31:24I break too many things.
31:25I know.
31:26You paid for the trip to Hawaii I'm going to take.
31:28No, that's the right move.
31:30Be happy for me.
31:32Hey, I am happy for you.
31:34It's just, uh, this is going to sound crazy.
31:38What?
31:39Um, I think you have been the most consistent male relationship in my life.
31:45You're so stable and reliable and I just always thought you'd be around.
31:53Which is funny because I don't really know anything about you.
31:56Well, how about this?
31:57I fixed your shingle and when I'm done you can ask me anything you want.
32:03Great.
32:03I will go to the store right now and get some wine so we can toast your retirement.
32:08I like that.
32:09Perfect way to end my time on Wisteria Lane.
32:13Oh, hey.
32:15What kind do you like?
32:16Red or white?
32:17Either one.
32:17Just make sure it's a screw top.
32:33Eli Scruggs was buried on a Saturday and all the people that Eli had helped over the
32:39years came to pay their last respects.
32:43But one person was missing.
32:45Someone who had changed Eli's life.
32:49In a way he never forgot.
32:53Excuse me, ma'am.
32:55Hope I'm not interrupting you today.
32:57Not at all.
32:58Can I help you?
32:59I was hoping I could help you.
33:00I'm a handyman.
33:02Just moved into town looking for work.
33:03Oh, sorry.
33:04I, um, I don't have anything that needs fixing.
33:07Well, if you ever do, uh, here's my card.
33:12Eli Scruggs.
33:13What a distinctive name.
33:15People do seem to remember it.
33:17So if any of your friends need help, I can do pretty much anything.
33:20I don't know.
33:21Um, if you have an extra card or two, I could hand them out.
33:25I'd really appreciate that.
33:27Oh.
33:46Anyway, thank you for your time.
33:51I have a broken vase.
33:53I'm sorry?
33:54I, I was, uh, dusting the other day and knocked it off the bureau like an idiot.
33:58Anyway, I saved the pieces.
33:59If you could glue it back together for me, I'd really appreciate it.
34:03Come on, ma'am.
34:05You don't have to do that.
34:08Mr. Scruggs.
34:10I need my vase fixed.
34:12It means a lot to me.
34:15Now, you're not gonna make me beg, are you?
34:19No, ma'am.
34:20I'm not.
34:21Good.
34:23Come on in.
34:35Mr. John.
34:36Oh.
34:37Didn't mean to disturb you.
34:39Your front door was wide open.
34:41Oh.
34:43Eli, I, I don't have any work for you today.
34:45I'm just here to drop off that handle you wanted.
34:47Finally found one that matched.
34:49Want me to install it?
34:51Not today.
34:54Okay.
34:56I'll just be going now.
34:59Eli, wait.
35:03What?
35:06Do you remember this?
35:07Oh, right.
35:09This is the very first thing you ever fixed for me.
35:11Yeah, that must have been, what, two years ago.
35:14Guess that glue really held that.
35:15Yeah.
35:17I want you to have it.
35:19What?
35:22Why?
35:24I've just been doing some thinking about the people I know.
35:27The ones who walked into my life and made it better than it was before.
35:31Oh.
35:31People like you.
35:33Yeah.
35:34Anyway, I've, I've, I've never said thank you.
35:38Oh, no.
35:39I'm, I'm the one who should thank you.
35:40You, you introduced me to all your friends.
35:43My business couldn't be better.
35:45Oh.
35:45I'm so glad.
35:47Yeah.
35:48Anyway, I, uh, I want you to have this.
35:53Gee.
35:57Mrs. Young, are you all right?
36:02Everything's fine.
36:10Are you sure?
36:16You should go now.
36:34You should go now.
36:51So, I look in the window.
36:54And there's blood everywhere.
36:56All over the walls and the ceiling.
36:59Not to mention her hardwood floors, which she just had installed last week.
37:02I don't know what she was thinking.
37:05I just wish there'd been some warning, some sign that she would do such a thing.
37:24I know.
37:32I wish there was no idea.
37:33Elijah-like, who, is he, or who?
37:35And I was, you're a young man.
37:37And then we, my boy.
37:43I'll see you right now, who or who, is my boy.
37:45The one who, is she, or who, is my boy.
37:55And for the rest of his life, that's exactly what he did.
38:10It was a lovely service.
38:12Eli would have liked it.
38:14I love a turnout.
38:15Who knew he had so many friends?
38:17I'm not surprised. He was a good man.
38:20I can't help feeling there's more we could have done to honor him.
38:22Well, let's just make sure we remember him.
38:25Eli would have said that's more than most people get.
38:28And he would have been right.
38:31As usual.
38:39Wait.
38:55I wanted to fix something for Eli for a change.
39:12Then said, thank you.
39:14I'll see you next time.
