00:00Previously on Men in Treats.
00:02Maren Frist, she just moved here.
00:04Just visiting.
00:04Writing my next book on men.
00:06Huzz is married.
00:07Come on, she's an import.
00:08Mail order, Brian.
00:09That seems nice.
00:10Now we're separated.
00:11Let's get him auctioned off.
00:12125.
00:14He's cute.
00:14Gold!
00:15Which girl bid on Patrick?
00:16Blonde.
00:17Painted on a sweater.
00:18This sounds like an emergency.
00:23Okay, before we get started today, Patrick, do you have an announcement?
00:26Yep, sad stuff.
00:28Elmo lost one of the greats this week with the death of Franklin Cook.
00:32Franklin was our oldest citizen.
00:34And we're going to miss him at the New Moon Festival this week.
00:37Especially at the polar bear swim.
00:39Polar bears as in old men jumping into freezing water?
00:42Yep.
00:43Franklin always went nudie-roody.
00:45It's not going to be the same without him.
00:47Well, God bless Franklin.
00:48But I'm a New York girl.
00:50I don't go into water without a tetanus shot.
00:52Don't know what you're missing.
00:54New Moon's in Franklin's honor this year.
00:56So don't forget the town meeting tonight.
00:58Pacuma's coming to plan the festivities.
01:00Is Pacuma a party planner?
01:01It's our beloved sister town.
01:04Beverly Hills has cans.
01:05Con.
01:06Con.
01:07We have Pacuma.
01:09Throw a festival with him every year.
01:11Have a big street party.
01:12Oh, I love street parties.
01:13Do you sell, like, tube socks and batteries and stuff?
01:17No.
01:18But I like your enthusiasm.
01:20Okay.
01:21Anyone want to talk about Franklin?
01:22Go ahead.
01:23Call in.
01:24Maren Frist is here to help.
01:26Uh, hang on, Patrick.
01:27I'm a relationship coach.
01:28I'm not a grief counselor.
01:29Well, there's a lot of grief in relationships.
01:31Am I right?
01:32Okay.
01:33Uh, guys.
01:33I am really sorry for your loss.
01:37Losing someone can make you feel like you have a huge hole in your life.
01:42Make you wonder who you are without them.
01:43Um, sounds like, uh, Franklin had a big impact on everyone and will take some time to get
01:49over him.
01:51Give yourself some time.
01:52Oh, seriously?
02:06Hey, Jerome.
02:07Do you know when the post office will be open?
02:09What's the sign say?
02:10What?
02:11I'm expecting a package from my friend.
02:13She's sending me my winter clothes.
02:14I've been waiting all week.
02:16What's wrong with the clothes we got here, fancy pants?
02:18Uh, well, nothing if you like a good hip wader, but, uh, I'm freezing, so I would like some
02:24of my actual fancy pants and, uh, maybe buy fancy earmuffs.
02:28I'll be open later.
02:30Wait.
02:31You're the postman?
02:33Why didn't you say something?
02:34You didn't ask.
02:35Okay, come on.
02:36Let me in.
02:36I'm on my lunch break.
02:37It's after three.
02:38I gotta eat a lot of small meals.
02:40Keeps my metabolism up.
02:41This is insane.
02:45And possibly illegal.
02:48If you don't like post office hours, you can take it up at the town meeting tonight.
02:52I believe I will.
02:54Oh, for the record, lose the smiley face.
02:57Just because you slap it up there doesn't mean it's making anyone happy.
03:03Making me happy.
03:04Up here, we wear those on our feet.
03:16I'm freezing, and my clothes are being held captive at the post office.
03:20You need a hat.
03:22You're losing most of your body heat through your head, you know.
03:24They explain so much about my recent decisions.
03:26And watch how much you drink at night.
03:28It lowers your body temperature.
03:29Note to self.
03:30Find suitable headgear.
03:31Stop getting drunk.
03:32Thanks, you're a wealth of hypothermic facts.
03:35I've just always been interested in how the body works.
03:37Go figure.
03:39Actually, I've been thinking about signing up to do volunteer EMS work.
03:43Why don't you?
03:44Well, the coursework costs money.
03:46I'd have to cut back my hours.
03:48The less money coming in, the less free time to spend with my son.
03:51It's called care.
03:51Well, I think you'd be great at it.
03:54Here, take one of my hands.
03:56Hey!
04:00Thanks!
04:02What you doing?
04:08Nothing.
04:09I mean, not like dirty nothing, good clean nothing.
04:11Is that my chat room?
04:13Those are my socks.
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:15Thanks.
04:16What are they saying?
04:17Ah, who cares what a bunch of bloggers say, right?
04:20Freaks.
04:20Yeah, which is why you had the highest number of posts, April through August.
04:23Come on.
04:24Let me see.
04:24We're in first room.
04:31We're dead.
04:33Well, I don't think so, Allie from NYC.
04:37I guess they were talking about a couple appearances you missed.
04:40Honestly?
04:41Oh, come on.
04:42Uh, hey, guys.
04:46Come here in here.
04:47No, it really is me.
04:57They kicked me off?
04:58How did they kick me out of my own chat room?
05:04Did you know I'm dead in New York?
05:10Oh, God.
05:11Yeah, I know.
05:12Yeah?
05:13What?
05:13I missed a couple of appearances and suddenly everyone thinks I'm dead?
05:17It was Oprah.
05:18Remember Oprah?
05:20The show the old Marin was dying to be on?
05:22It's like standing up the Dolly Lama.
05:25Oh, but listen, your book sales are way up.
05:27Seriously?
05:28I'm supposed to feel better about my sudden death because it's helping book sales?
05:31I'm an editor.
05:32This is how I spin things.
05:34And no one bought the rehab story.
05:36You told people I was in rehab?
05:38Yeah, it didn't stick.
05:39How are you going to promote my third book if I'm dead?
05:44What?
05:44Okay.
05:45What?
05:46They canceled your third book.
05:48What?
05:48Do you know the publishers?
05:50They thought they'd be getting a book on marriage and you're not getting married.
05:53Not my fault.
05:54I know that.
05:55You know that.
05:55But they just want what they paid for.
05:57Well, they paid for me.
05:58And I'm still me.
05:58Last time I checked.
05:59Well, you're not exactly you anymore, are you?
06:02What does that mean?
06:03Honey, you're living in Alaska.
06:06Visiting Alaska.
06:07The Marin Frist I know only liked ice if it was floating in a well-chilled vodka negroni.
06:12I'm still me.
06:13I'll alert the media.
06:15Or send a smoke signal or whatever your people do up there.
06:18I'm not a you people.
06:19I'm Marin Frist.
06:20Marin Frist.
06:22Marin Frist.
06:32Well, Franklin gone.
06:34May he rest you.
06:35That makes us two of the older guys in town.
06:38I have to start my memoirs.
06:39Yeah, I got to get my things in order, too.
06:42I'm up there flying in those mountains every day.
06:44I mean, it could happen at any time.
06:46It could happen just like that, you know?
06:48May you rest.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Just came from Franklin's house.
06:52We wanted you to have that.
06:59Oh, Betty Page.
07:00Classic.
07:01Franklin had corn.
07:02You think this is a gift?
07:05These were mine.
07:07I don't need the details.
07:08Hey, hey, wait up a sec.
07:10We have something we need to discuss with you.
07:13Yeah.
07:14Have a seat.
07:15We all took a hard hit, but Franklin, maybe you took the hardest, because he was the guy
07:25that raised you after your dad died.
07:27May he rest.
07:28So Franklin stepped up for round one.
07:31We figured it was time we stepped up.
07:37Where are your new dads?
07:38Guys, come on.
07:43You don't have to do that.
07:45Now, son, you just set a spell and have a drink with your kin.
07:49Oh, sweet.
07:50Jack has two dads.
07:51I don't think I need a dad anymore.
07:53Never too old to need a dad.
07:54Never too old to be a dad.
07:56I mean, how old was Franklin?
07:57About 130?
07:5989.
08:00I wouldn't put that on the tombstone.
08:03Your man didn't look a day over 83.
08:05Where is it going to go on his headstone?
08:06I know it's going to go on mine.
08:09Buzz was a pilot.
08:10If you don't know that, you didn't know me.
08:13You know, if all mine says is Ben, a decent guy, I'm fine with that.
08:18You know, when I was in the band, all I wanted was to die famous.
08:23That doesn't make any sense, right?
08:25You were in a band?
08:26Yeah.
08:27Nothing quite lived up to the dream.
08:29Exactly.
08:30So screw the dream, live the life.
08:33Ben, a decent guy, may he rest in peace.
08:36Teresa, her fries were never soggy.
08:40What's your headstone, I'm going to say?
08:42Well, considering that they just canceled my third book, I'm guessing, uh, Loser?
08:47I thought I was just up here gathering my thoughts.
08:51I was going to learn something, write a new book, a better book.
08:56I guess you can't ask anybody to save you a seat in New York.
08:58I've gone five minutes and my fans think I'm dead.
09:02May you rest.
09:05I'm not serious.
09:06I know that in the grand scheme of things, my little books on how to be lucky and loved
09:11didn't amount to one of Gandhi sneezes.
09:13But it's what I did.
09:14I was good at it.
09:15I was happy.
09:16People came together.
09:17Then I fell apart.
09:19Good news is, women don't need a job to be happy.
09:23Oh, hello, 1950.
09:25Nice to meet you.
09:26I'm 2006.
09:27You don't need a paycheck.
09:29You got family and kids and hand creams and stuff.
09:34I'll take more things I don't have for 500.
09:37Hey, at least you're still breathing.
09:39Yes, I am.
09:42And you know what?
09:43I'm not going to just sit back and take it.
09:45Nobody can tell me I'm not that girl anymore.
09:47Okay.
09:49I can fix this.
09:51You know why?
09:52Because that's what I do.
09:53That's what I hear.
09:54That's right.
10:03Who are all these people?
10:05It's our sisters, Pakuma.
10:08You're going to love them.
10:09They're like my favorite uncle.
10:11Sister, town, people.
10:14Oh, this is exciting.
10:15My first town meeting.
10:17I know.
10:18Yeah.
10:19Attention, everyone.
10:20Greetings, Pakuma.
10:24That's my favorite part.
10:26Oh, yes.
10:27I have some post office issues.
10:29Yeah, hi.
10:30We got a little hitch here with the New Moon Festival.
10:33We're not going to be able to throw it with you this year on account of the fact that we want to break up.
10:41What?
10:41Well, it's come to our attention that you've lost another one of your men.
10:46Hey, don't go dragging Franklin into this.
10:49Summer down, Doug.
10:50The point is, you don't even count it as a town anymore.
10:54You're a village.
10:55And we can't be associated with no village.
10:57Pakuma's going places.
10:59And a handbasket.
11:00We've got Cosmart coming next month.
11:02And Sam Forster just impregnated a nice gal from Juneau.
11:06But you're a favorite uncle, brother, sister town.
11:10Oh, this is ridiculous.
11:13So Elmo's a village instead of a town.
11:15That's not Elmo's fault.
11:17They're not dead.
11:18They're still the same people.
11:20Yeah.
11:21Our towns have been together for over 100 years.
11:24We helped rebuild Pakuma after that fire in 83.
11:27This is the thanks we get?
11:29See, that's what I mean.
11:30We can't talk to you people.
11:31This is all just because of a drop in population?
11:41Can't you just count Maren and me?
11:43Oh, slow down, sister.
11:44I'm temporary.
11:45You're the one paying rent.
11:46I already added you.
11:47And then that crabber died.
11:48Then Franklin died.
11:50It's one life forward, two deaths back.
11:52It's a numbers game, Annie.
11:53And we can't beat it.
11:55What are we supposed to do tomorrow?
11:57Who are we if we're not Pakuma's sister town?
12:01Hang on, guys.
12:10Eyes on me for a second.
12:13No one deserves to be dumped like that.
12:16It was an ambush.
12:18So here's what.
12:20I'm going to do what I know how to do best.
12:22Or at least I hope I still know how to do.
12:25I'm going to find you a new town.
12:27A better town.
12:28One who appreciates you for who you really are.
12:32So what do you say?
12:33New moon?
12:35New beginning?
12:38Permission to be your backseat driver?
12:41Me too.
12:41I wouldn't dream of hitting the rebound road without you.
12:55Get this.
12:57Elmo's sister city just dumped them right before the new moon festival.
13:00Honey, what's happening?
13:02Did you just hit your head?
13:03An entire town is suddenly single, so I told them I would find them someone new.
13:07Of course you did.
13:08Stay with me here.
13:09It's perfect, right?
13:10Maren Frist doesn't just get people together.
13:12She can even set up a town.
13:13And why are we doing this?
13:14I'll write an article about it.
13:15We'll sell it to the monthlies.
13:16I'll be alive again.
13:19What, are you there?
13:20You know, you don't have to power through this.
13:23It's okay if you don't work for a while.
13:25It's not work, it's my life.
13:27Yeah, okay, it would be proving to the world that I'm still alive, but it would be proving
13:31it to me too.
13:32You're going to get all feisty, but I won't stand in your way.
13:35Good idea.
13:35Just don't feel like you have to be Maren Frist, the second coming.
13:39No one's expecting you to be that girl right now.
13:41Well, what about me?
13:42Does my vote count?
13:44Hey, mine?
13:46My coat's on mine.
13:47My what?
13:48My coat.
13:48On what now?
13:49On mine.
13:50Your what?
13:51Never mind.
13:51Uh, excuse me.
13:53Uh, Buzz's wife?
13:53Uh, lady?
13:54Uh, hey.
13:56Where'd you get the coat?
13:59Lost and found.
14:00Anything that stays in the post office longer than 24 hours goes into lost and found.
14:05It was lost, I found.
14:06Well, that's very impressive.
14:07But I'm not leaving without the coat.
14:09See, that's my going out coat.
14:11Might meet my editor in Soho and have drinks at 60 Thompson Coat.
14:13It is not your, uh, walking around in the middle of nowhere and talking to no one coat.
14:17Okay?
14:17Okay.
14:22Fine.
14:23But you're in the middle of nowhere, too, you know.
14:25Yes, but now I can pretend that I'm not.
14:28Hey, that's my sweater!
14:37We need to talk.
14:39All this death stuff has got me thinking.
14:42Yeah?
14:42Do you remember we bought that joint burial plot right after we got married?
14:47Oh, yeah.
14:48Yeah.
14:49Maybe we should get rid of it.
14:51Or I could get a smaller plot.
14:55Or I could sell your spot, or...
14:58Sell my spot?
14:59What, are you getting offers?
15:02I guess...
15:03I'm just asking what you want to do.
15:06Spending eternity together is something married couples usually do.
15:10So, if that's not what we are anymore, then...
15:13Wow.
15:16Yeah.
15:18I'm just putting it out there.
15:26Thanks.
15:27I'm headed out.
15:28Hey, did you bring me EMS paperwork?
15:31To sign up for the courses?
15:32Oh, babe.
15:33I thought you were just making conversation.
15:36I really want to give EMS a try.
15:38I think I'd be good at it.
15:40Come on.
15:41Isn't it enough to be great at one thing?
15:42Now, remember, just because a town is available does not mean it's the right town for us.
15:51We have to think about what Elmo needs.
15:54I kind of had my eye on a new propeller.
15:57I was thinking more about a town-wide need, but we'll see what we can do.
16:00Ooh, ooh, ooh.
16:01Tala has a hot spring.
16:02Not bad.
16:03Tell me more.
16:03No, no, you don't want Tala.
16:05Five of their townspeople mysteriously disappeared last year, and all they found was some chickens.
16:12Okay, next.
16:14Dakota has the 1982 chess champ and a laundromat.
16:18Ooh, I'm looking at Metaxi.
16:20Metaxi is small, nearby, well-groomed.
16:23Oh, get this.
16:25A very high female population.
16:27Hey, yeah.
16:29Like that planet in Star Trek.
16:31Angel one?
16:32Lucky you two found each other.
16:34Okay, I'm feeling really good about Metaxi.
16:36Guys, what do you think?
16:38Nearby with women, you can sign me up for Nirvana.
16:41True romantic.
16:42All right, how do we handle this?
16:44Oh, ask them out.
16:46Remain calm and confident.
16:47Exactly.
16:48How do you ask a town out?
16:50Oh, that one's easy.
16:51Book one, chapter two.
16:53Take the wheel.
16:54We call them.
16:55Yes.
16:56You can call a town?
16:58Well, let's see.
17:02Uh-huh.
17:08Hi.
17:09Uh, uh, hello.
17:10Is this Metaxi Town Hall?
17:13I'm calling from Elmo.
17:16You heard?
17:18Well, yes, it was shocking.
17:20Their loss.
17:21Well, I'm sure you have plans, but on the off chance you're free, um, how's tomorrow?
17:30Yes, I'll hold.
17:32Get a good night's sleep tomorrow.
17:33We will.
17:33What I say is real and it's about time.
17:44I used to be so mad and crazy.
17:48Almost all of the time.
17:51I'm telling you that I'm completely through my room.
17:57I'm feeling like I should.
18:00I'm really, really glad and really, really, really good.
18:03Okay, kind of like the Farnie sale.
18:07Oh, you.
18:10Okay.
18:11So, I stopped by the lost and found, like you said, and I, uh, didn't find any of my clothes
18:16there.
18:17Oh.
18:18Okay.
18:19Come in.
18:20Is this a duty-free shop?
18:24Small business.
18:26I got a tax write-off.
18:27Okay.
18:28You're savvy.
18:29I get it.
18:29Good for you.
18:32Let's just acknowledge the fact that all of these are mine and I am cold.
18:38So?
18:39Buy a sweater.
18:41I bought this one last fall.
18:43Two hundred dollars.
18:44I got it for 80 at a sample sale.
18:45Well, if you liked it so much, why did you leave them behind?
18:47Well, I didn't think I would be here for more than two days.
18:50Me neither.
18:51When Buzz said he was bringing me to America, I thought he meant New York City.
18:56Instead, he brought me here.
18:57He almost turned around and went back.
19:00But then I realized I loved that man.
19:04So, now this is my New York.
19:08Okay, well, how about you give a couple of burrows back to me?
19:13Fine.
19:13I guess you need something to cover off with.
19:16Got those little legs.
19:19Here.
19:20Thanks.
19:21All right.
19:22And I will be taking my Burberry Matter bag.
19:25Oh, no, no.
19:26That's a good bag.
19:27Yeah.
19:28I know.
19:29I'll be back.
19:30Whoa.
19:44Some coat.
19:45Pretty fancy cuffs.
19:46Oh.
19:47Thanks.
19:49So, what's a girl got to do to get a salesperson around here?
19:52Go to New York.
19:54It's a self-service.
19:56Here.
19:57Oh, you don't have to...
20:01Here we go.
20:02Okay.
20:06Wow.
20:09Sturdy.
20:10Yeah.
20:11Must feel kind of weird not being three inches off the ground.
20:14Just take a second.
20:15Get your land legs back.
20:18Thanks for your help.
20:19No problem.
20:20Can you help me with something?
20:21Sure.
20:22Were you looking for something in a boot or a loafer?
20:25I'm, uh, trying to put something together for Franklin's eulogy.
20:29Yeah, I kind of got stuck.
20:30I was thinking, you're a writer.
20:32Okay.
20:34Who was he?
20:35What did he do for a living?
20:38Uh, not much.
20:40Pretty much like to sit on that bench in the corner and shoot the breeze.
20:43How about places he liked to travel?
20:45What kind of music did he like?
20:46Yeah, he pretty much visited the bench.
20:49Oh, he was deaf in one ear.
20:51Oh.
20:51Oh, there you are, son.
20:52Been looking for you, huh?
20:54We on for dinner Friday?
20:55Yeah, what you making?
20:56No, no, no.
20:57We do the cooking like Franklin used to do every Friday.
21:00Oh, yeah, yeah, right, right.
21:01We're the dads.
21:01Now we do it.
21:02Aw, that sounds fun.
21:04Yeah.
21:04I'll get back to you.
21:05Okay.
21:07Hey, um...
21:09Hey, hey.
21:11Go crazy.
21:13Buy yourself another ball of twine.
21:17No dinners?
21:20Yeah, I don't think so.
21:21I mean, I used to do it with Franklin, but I'm not really an every Friday night dinner
21:25kind of guy.
21:26Oh, I get it.
21:27Don't make any plans.
21:29Don't count on me.
21:30You're that I don't need anybody crawling to a cave guy.
21:33Catchy.
21:34Is that in your new book?
21:35You know, everyone likes to sit down with another human being and share a meal from
21:40time to time.
21:41It's all right to admit it.
21:43Okay.
21:45Thanks, coach.
21:47You're still a coach, right?
21:49From the calves up, I am.
21:51Okay, guys, eyes on the prize.
21:57What do we do on our first date?
21:58Compliment them.
21:59Alert.
22:00Pick your moment to make a move.
22:02Every woman knows a man doesn't touch you unless he means business.
22:05And whatever you do.
22:07Don't talk about the ex.
22:10Pacuma.
22:10You guys, how could you not go?
22:18Yikes.
22:19Golden girls.
22:20Don't judge.
22:22Hi.
22:23Hi.
22:26I'm Pam.
22:27Hello.
22:27And this is Barbara.
22:29Hello.
22:29Hi.
22:31Oh, we thought you were a New York City girl.
22:34Oh.
22:35Oh, I am.
22:36I'm just mixing, matching a little, you know.
22:39Trying the local wares.
22:40You should try my taxi local.
22:42You come into town any time you want.
22:44Babs and I will get you suited up.
22:45You betcha.
22:46Well, I can see you are a whiz with a glue gun.
22:50Well, shall we?
22:51Yes.
22:52Sure.
23:00Our best smoked trout.
23:02Not the ears isn't smoking.
23:05Oh.
23:05Oh, we haven't smoked fish in just ages, no.
23:09Not with the men gone.
23:10No.
23:11Where did they go?
23:12Well, the sea took most of them, except for Pam's husband.
23:14He left on his own.
23:15Barb.
23:15Oh.
23:16I'm so sorry.
23:18Yeah, Pacuma had a sea.
23:20It's one shoreline, I'll get her walk along again.
23:22But, we're better off for it, because it prepared us to meet you.
23:28Oh.
23:28Yeah, the timing does feel right.
23:30Mm-hmm.
23:30A lot with winter not too far away, I don't think I can go through another one alone.
23:35And you shouldn't have to.
23:38Oh, thank you, Tiffany.
23:40Tiffany here was Miss Forget-Me-Not two years running.
23:43No.
23:43You live here?
23:46Did you know?
23:47No, I swear.
23:51How's it going, Slim?
23:52Just here on business from Elmo.
23:54Our new moon festival is legendary.
23:57Looking for someone to share it with.
23:58You interested?
23:59Just might be.
24:01Great!
24:02You'll love it.
24:02Everyone will be there, including me.
24:04I will be there?
24:05So, we are so excited to be in Matexi.
24:10Oh, you have an eyelash.
24:16Make a wish.
24:19Okay, well, great date.
24:23We really ought to be going now.
24:25We have a three o'clock with Chala.
24:27The chicken town?
24:29Wow, we really should do this again sometime.
24:33Maybe you all want to come to Elmo.
24:35We've done some fabulous things with Main Street.
24:37Very happening.
24:39Very now.
24:41We'll call you.
24:42Yeah.
24:43Oh.
24:44Oh.
24:49Backpack.
24:49Not good.
24:55Hey, how about you buy your old man another beer, son?
25:00I'm getting kind of low here myself.
25:01Ah, these dads are getting expensive.
25:05Well, one day you'll get old and you'll have a son who'll take you out to get you drunk.
25:08Better get on that.
25:10Get on what?
25:11You'll be old before you know it.
25:13Yeah.
25:14I can start getting out on you.
25:15Hey, man.
25:16I used to run five miles every morning.
25:19Five miles.
25:20Now I bend over to tie my shoes and my bones sound like bubble wrap.
25:23One day I could bench press 250.
25:26Now a gallon jug kicks my ass.
25:28Okay.
25:29We're getting old.
25:30We get it.
25:31When did I get to be the old guy?
25:33We're all changing.
25:35I used to fire hundreds of people in one fell swoop.
25:39Now I'm waiting around to see if one woman wants to fire me.
25:43When did I become the weak guy?
25:45You know, weak, man.
25:48You know, just...
25:49Whipped?
25:50And I don't care what anyone thinks about me.
26:05I'm not afraid of what you say or do.
26:09It doesn't hurt me.
26:12I'm telling you that I'm completely over it.
26:16I'm really, really glad and really, really, really happy.
26:24You know, I'm feeling good.
26:30You going night fishing?
26:32Yeah, for a date.
26:34I'm going to string flowers on these and make little garlands.
26:39Dress the town up a bit.
26:40In case we get a second date.
26:42You're right, that's much more sensible use for these.
26:47Oh, thank you.
26:47So we've you had a thank for the new shiny stoplight?
26:50Oh, well, you can't give a town a new I've been dumped haircut, so that was the next best thing.
26:57Oh, this, yeah.
27:00I couldn't get my other coat on and needed a sweater, so...
27:02That was Franklin's coat.
27:05Oh, well, it's a great coat.
27:08Look, it's warm, for starters.
27:12It smells good.
27:14It's pine and wood smoke and something else.
27:19Spaghetti.
27:20Yes.
27:20Yeah, he always wore the coat when he was cooking.
27:22Never wanted to raise the thermostat.
27:24Every Friday was spaghetti.
27:29That hole there?
27:32He caught his sleeve in the flame once.
27:35Really?
27:35Dinner with Franklin was always burnt spaghetti.
27:40One sad candle.
27:41A couple of beers.
27:44Some good stories.
27:47I don't know, though.
27:49It was great.
27:52Well, maybe that's what you should talk about.
27:55Friday nights, the memories, the...
27:58Things that stick with you.
28:02He's still a part of you.
28:03Yeah.
28:05I'm sorry you lost him.
28:16The coat works.
28:17Listen, we're done with a taxi.
28:33Tell me something good.
28:34Radio silence.
28:36Maybe they lost our number.
28:39Maybe we should call them, and if they answer, we'll hang up.
28:41Okay, and then what are you going to say when they start 69?
28:43It's not a greeting, Patrick.
28:48Annie, you okay?
29:18It's because, uh, your sternum's just flapping in the wind.
29:22What's with the slot cloppers?
29:24Are those mine?
29:26Oh, uh, I bought them for my...
29:31What's the matter, Patrick?
29:33I thought you would like this look.
29:35Seemed to like it just fine on Tiffany.
29:38Oh, you have an eyelash.
29:41Tiffany with the crazy Halloween eyes?
29:44Don't pretend you didn't like her.
29:45All this time, I thought, oh, okay.
29:48But the second you saw that little muck slut, you warmed right up.
29:52Hey, now, when someone has an eyelash, you let them make a wish.
29:54It's just common decency.
29:56I did it to Teresa the other day.
29:57That's true.
29:58It was creepy.
29:59A man never touches a woman by accident.
30:02Am I right?
30:03Oh, you're not entirely wrong, but I don't think Tiffany is this type.
30:08Who cares what type of girl is when her skirt's so short, you can see her what-nots?
30:12Yeah.
30:15I like your buttons, because they give me something to look forward to.
30:19And I like your normal shoes, because I'm always taller than you.
30:22And your skin is the closest to perfect I've ever seen.
30:26You don't need all that stuff.
30:28The only reason I touched that girl's eyelash is because it was freaking me out.
30:31I sold the burial plot.
30:52Oh.
30:53Well, I hadn't really decided yet.
30:56Yeah, I decided.
30:56If you don't know whether you want to be with me in life, you're definitely not ready to be with me for eternity.
31:03Well, you sold my space.
31:07Our space.
31:08I sold the whole thing.
31:10You don't want to die at Elmo?
31:13I'll decide when I get there.
31:23Hey.
31:23Oh, nice.
31:26My?
31:27Yeah.
31:28Oh, sorry.
31:30Hey, did you sign up for that EMS?
31:31Oh, yeah.
31:32No.
31:33Why not?
31:34I don't know.
31:35I just don't see it fitting into my life right now.
31:38They called.
31:39They called.
31:40We text you called for a second date.
31:45Hey, you.
31:47Dolce pants.
31:47No freebies today.
32:06I need more things.
32:07This is not a soup kitchen.
32:09We have our second date with Mitexi today.
32:10I have spent days weeding and painting and polishing Elmo.
32:14Now, I need to polish up.
32:15Too late for you.
32:18Considering you hijacked my fall collection, I think I'm being more than fair.
32:23You had your chance.
32:25I saw it.
32:26You're the girl in these magazines.
32:28I see you in here all the time.
32:29Buzz brings him back from his trips.
32:31At the parties, holding champagne glasses, wearing the very tall shoes.
32:35Yeah.
32:36You were living my dream.
32:37And then you just ran away from it.
32:39Uh, well, technically it cheated on me, but I see your point.
32:47Sure, the clothes were great and the parties were fun, but it wasn't perfect.
32:52Some of those dresses were borrowed, and the shoes were very tight.
32:56Bad for the back, really.
32:59Yeah?
33:00You looked happy to me.
33:01Yeah, I thought I was.
33:03But every time I went away to teach people how to be in relationships, mine fell apart a little bit.
33:10My friends were names in a cell phone.
33:12My fiancé...
33:13Well, you know how that worked out.
33:18Yeah, everybody knows.
33:19Yeah.
33:22So if you're not going to be that girl anymore, who are you going to be?
33:30I have no idea.
33:38Keep the sweater.
33:39Looks good on you.
33:40Yeah.
33:43There they are.
33:56There they are.
33:56Keep it cool, Annie.
33:57It's just a second date.
34:01Ladies!
34:02So glad you could make it.
34:03Hello.
34:04Hello.
34:05Hi.
34:07Oh.
34:07Muffin?
34:08I made it myself.
34:09Oh.
34:10A man who can cook.
34:12Oh, your stock is certainly rising.
34:18Oh.
34:26I don't know, Pam.
34:28It's not much, is it?
34:30We can make do.
34:31It is a bit shabby, isn't it?
34:33We just painted.
34:35And I personally shine the stoplight.
34:37Some garden gnomes might really spruce up this corner.
34:41Um, that's usually where the men put their chainsaws before they go to the bar.
34:48Oh, no.
34:51Not helping.
34:52Well, this could be cute.
34:59A little craft section.
35:00Yes.
35:01Oh, my.
35:02Let's get rid of this bench.
35:04Bring in some rocking chairs, huh?
35:06Muffin.
35:06Just a second.
35:09I'm sorry.
35:10This was Franklin's bench.
35:12The bench stays.
35:14Oh, we'll keep the guys sitting on it.
35:16They're not bad, huh?
35:17Not bad?
35:18Well, we can't really afford to be picky anymore.
35:22These men are great.
35:27The whole town is.
35:28It's a village, dear.
35:30Oh.
35:32Maybe it takes a village to tell a town to go to hell.
35:35I beg your pardon?
35:36Well, who are you, Miss Glue Gun, to tell us we're not a town anymore?
35:41We haven't changed.
35:43We lost someone.
35:44To old age.
35:45Because when people come here, they tend to stick around.
35:50A millionaire left his empire to find happiness here.
35:55A pilot in Elmo gets to fly his plane whenever the hell he wants.
35:58Because he's his own boss here.
36:01A girl who was searching for love in the wrong places found the right man in moments.
36:07Things like that happen here.
36:08Because in Elmo, people get to be who they really are.
36:12We don't need the shiny stoplights or the dolce pants.
36:15So I suggest you ladies, go on back to the taxi.
36:19Because we've got a festival to throw and no one likes the Seekland Party Crasher.
36:26Come on, Barbara.
36:29Bye-bye!
36:30Well, they dug their own grave.
36:32That's all I can say.
36:35Pam!
36:36Oh, my God!
36:36Help!
36:37Somebody help!
36:38Somebody!
36:38Somebody!
36:39I don't think she's breathing.
36:41Hold on.
36:42Oh, Pam, don't die!
36:43You saved my life!
36:53Kim!
36:54Yeah!
36:55I tell my women aren't half bad either.
36:58I think we should rethink this whole sister city thing after all.
37:01Yeah, it's about time we went out on our own.
37:03So you're tending to stick around, huh?
37:12Tending to, yes.
37:14Yes.
37:14So this is the new moon festival.
37:29Pretty much.
37:30Yeah, what do you think?
37:32Hard to see the moon through the rubber tire smoke, but otherwise, pretty great.
37:38I can't believe I tried to force my taxi on you.
37:42She didn't.
37:42You stopped it.
37:44I guess so.
37:45That's what counts, right?
37:48I guess I was trying to feel better about who I was.
37:51Well, I don't know who you were before, except someone from a way who wrote a lot of books.
37:58But who you are now is someone who made a lot of people feel really good, and that's got to count for something, right?
38:04Is that a career?
38:06Around here it could be.
38:07A lot of memories here.
38:14Well, nothing like wasting time with Franklin.
38:18I was hoping you guys could help me with the funeral.
38:23Point with family is you don't have to ask.
38:26Are we still on for Friday night?
38:30Seven o'clock.
38:32I'm making my hanshelada casserole.
38:34Sounds good.
38:36Nice night.
38:38Kind of perfect.
38:39The only thing to listen is Franklin.
38:44I guess there's no sense having the polar bear swim without him.
38:48Who says?
39:00Mara?
39:01Jane.
39:02Can you hear me?
39:04Yeah, I can hear you.
39:05So, what's the latest?
39:07Did the new town leave the old town for a younger town yet?
39:10Uh, no.
39:12Well, it's a long story.
39:14Great.
39:15We'll make it a two-parter with your setup article.
39:17Not happening.
39:19No.
39:20You're playing dead for a little longer?
39:23Not quite.
39:25Uh, let me get back to you.
39:37Someone once said that you have to think about the things that stick when someone passes.
39:45Uh, with Franklin.
39:49I'm gonna remember the Friday dinners.
39:53The way his house smelled.
39:57The, uh, the cuckoo clock that went off once every seven minutes.
40:02And, uh, and the stories about Elmo.
40:11About my dad.
40:12Yeah, that's what's gonna keep him alive for me.
40:18A friend of mine recently delivered a beautiful eulogy about his friend.
40:23A man who mattered.
40:25Everyone will be remembered.
40:26And if that's the case, you have to ask yourself, how do you want your story to go?
40:33How do you want to be remembered?
40:41Well, he tried to start a service.
40:44By what you did for a living?
40:45What you accomplished?
40:47Or how you made people feel?
40:50Every day is another chance for you to decide who you want to be.
40:53A chance to challenge yourself.
40:56To be a different version of you.
40:59A braver version.
41:04A person who isn't afraid to grab joy.
41:07And take it for a spin.
41:08Letting go is never easy.
41:28But sometimes, it's only when you let go that you can make room for the rest of your life to show up.
41:38But as hard as you think it will be to leave the old you behind,
41:54sometimes when you do, it's the most alive you've ever felt.
42:00Standing at the jumping-off point is a weird feeling.
42:04But not quite as weird as jumping into the ocean with a bunch of Alaskan men.
42:09Let's go!
42:10Let's go!
42:10Let's go!
42:12Let's go!
42:13Let's go!
42:14Let's go!
42:15Let's go!
42:15Let's go!
42:16Let's go!
42:16Let's go!
