00:00Previously on Men in Trees...
00:02I don't have a life worth remembering.
00:04But I'm definitely gonna call you.
00:06This is Stuart Maxx and my publisher.
00:08That's a lot of fun.
00:09We just got married.
00:10What?
00:11Eric left the church.
00:12He left for me.
00:14Jack is on a boat researching whales.
00:24My days are filled with mistakes.
00:27Some that I didn't make.
00:30I carry them around.
00:33Cause ten thousand stars
00:38Hanging deep in my heart.
00:41No, I can't see anything.
00:43It's as plain as day.
00:44Eyes, nose, mouth.
00:46Maybe I'm not squint enough.
00:48What are we all staring at?
00:50The Chief and the Chief.
00:52Oh.
00:53The who?
00:54The Chief and the Chief.
00:56Years ago, there was a great Chief.
00:58He climbed up the mountain and disappeared.
01:00Now, every year at this time,
01:02when the sun hits it just right,
01:03people say they can see his face in the mountain.
01:05Hey, wait a minute.
01:06What?
01:07There he is.
01:08Ha-ha!
01:09Hello, Chief!
01:11Good to see you again.
01:12You know, I always thought it was the Suds
01:14that made me see him.
01:19I hope I got nothing.
01:21Do you have any idea how nice it is
01:23that somebody else around here
01:24can't see the stupid Chief.
01:25Wait, you can't see him either?
01:26Never have.
01:27I think it's low to hooey.
01:28Do you mind?
01:29Everyone's enjoying the view,
01:30and you're taking a leak in the punch bowl.
01:36And this button's for the headphones,
01:37and this one's for the station speakers.
01:39Uh-huh.
01:40Nicely done.
01:41Thanks for helping me with all this radio stuff.
01:43Everybody's being so great.
01:44You, Celia.
01:46I mean, my mom.
01:47Ha-ha-ha-ha.
01:48Especially Annie.
01:49Um...
01:51Because we love you.
01:54Just keep at it.
01:55You'll remember stuff in the meantime.
01:57It's your clear buttons.
02:00Your hair smells pretty.
02:02Excuse me?
02:03That scarf you're knitting.
02:04It's pretty.
02:05It's a scarf, right?
02:06It is.
02:08And, uh, thanks.
02:09It's a little warm for scarves.
02:11Oh, scarves are all I do.
02:12They're nice and simple.
02:14Keep my mind and hands busy.
02:16Which I need to be doing for the next nine months.
02:19Will you teach me?
02:21Sure, I guess.
02:24Let's knit it out.
02:25Oh.
02:26Now?
02:28Okay.
02:29You take your right needle.
02:31Put it into the left stitch.
02:32Come around with your yarn.
02:35So how close were we before I didn't know how close we are?
02:39We were thick as thieves.
02:40You're the guy who brought me here, after all.
02:42Seriously?
02:43Yeah.
02:44How'd that happen?
02:46Well, you read my books.
02:48And you were quite an admirer of mine.
02:51Well, that hasn't changed.
02:55Patrick!
02:56I'm sorry.
02:57I'm sorry.
02:58Sorry.
02:59Ah, too much.
03:02Will you go out with me?
03:03What?
03:04On a date?
03:05Oh, I don't think so.
03:06No, wait.
03:07I know so.
03:08No.
03:09I'm not going out with you.
03:10How come?
03:11Well, uh, first of all, we're not like that.
03:13And, and, um, second of all, you are in love with Annie.
03:18Because everyone says.
03:19Because you are.
03:20You have Annie and I have Jack.
03:22Jack?
03:23Do you have a boyfriend?
03:24I do.
03:25He's also a good friend of yours.
03:27Really?
03:28Yeah.
03:29I've never met him.
03:30Well, he's out to sea right now for nine months.
03:33Oh, God!
03:34It's the worst fake boyfriend story ever!
03:36No, he's real.
03:37Trust me.
03:38We got serious before he left.
03:39About, about two seconds before he left, but serious.
03:41Nonetheless.
03:42So you're just going to wait for him?
03:43You got it.
03:44Nine months?
03:45What can happen in nine months?
03:46We could fall in love and have a baby in nine months.
03:49I'm leaving.
03:50You can't.
03:51Why not?
03:52You're on.
03:55Hold up.
03:57Uh.
03:58No, you're out.
04:00Hello, Elmo.
04:02As most of you know, I'm waiting on Jack.
04:06And we may all need to wait on Patrick.
04:10It's his first day back on the air, so let's remember to be patient.
04:15It's a hard thing, patience.
04:18But when something means enough to you, whether you're waiting to regain your past or start your
04:26future, patience is going to be critical.
04:29So what do you think, Elmo?
04:31What in your life's worth waiting for?
04:41Hey!
04:42Julia!
04:43Jack!
04:44He must be in trouble.
04:45Hey!
04:46In trouble.
04:47This guy had to be in trouble today.
04:48Yeah he's in trouble.
05:15Something hit him when the wave came over the bow.
05:17You're hurt, Jack.
05:19No, no, it's nothing.
05:21We're gonna have to check out your wound, all right?
05:23This might hurt.
05:27Oh, my God.
05:30What do we do?
05:33There's nothing we can do out here.
05:35Stop the bleeding until help comes.
05:37Well, don't you need that?
05:38Not as much as he does.
05:40We need to keep pressure on it.
05:43You know what you're doing.
05:44I've worked on animals before.
05:46Deer, it's a hundred shot.
05:47Deer?
05:48You want to do this?
05:50I want you to be careful.
05:52Stay away.
05:55Hold it.
05:57That one.
05:58We'll wait for a boat, maybe a plane.
06:01We'll try to signal.
06:06All right.
06:06Hey, Maren.
06:15Oh, hey, uh...
06:17Lonnie.
06:17Lonnie.
06:18How are you?
06:19Good.
06:19Listen, this little crab shack just opened up over in the Texas.
06:23Uh-huh.
06:23I thought we could check it out together.
06:26Oh, thanks, Lonnie, but I can't.
06:31Shooting down Lonnie, Miss Ballsy.
06:34Why?
06:34Well, the man is, in layman's terms, a hunk.
06:37I already have a hunk.
06:38His name's Jack.
06:39Who was at sea for nine months.
06:41That's right.
06:42Any woman worth her salt could do nine months on her head.
06:45I waited years for Jack.
06:47And you were a hell on ice, too.
06:50How is Jack?
06:51I'm not sure.
06:52I haven't heard from him.
06:53Well, I thought you two had some sort of foam system worked out.
06:55Yeah.
06:56He was supposed to call every other day, weather and distance permitting, which they don't
07:00seem to be the last couple of days.
07:01Yeah.
07:02A lot of these guys go out to sea and then lose touch.
07:04Yeah, their wives and girlfriends don't hear from him for weeks or months.
07:07Seriously?
07:09Oh, I never thought I'd be a captain's widow.
07:10Well, I think it sounds cool.
07:13It's poetic.
07:14Poetic, indeed.
07:15She's Penelope.
07:18Penelope from Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey.
07:21She was Odysseus' wife.
07:23He was gone for nearly 20 years.
07:25She waited at home the entire time, turning down many a suitor.
07:29She even did some weaving.
07:31I'm stunned you read The Odyssey.
07:34I'm stunned you read.
07:35Hey, I can't remember.
07:36What happened with Odysseus?
07:37Did he stay faithful on his Odyssey?
07:39I believe he may have had a dalliance with either a sorceress or a cyclops.
07:45Hmm.
07:47The chief was smiling when I saw him.
07:48Yeah, he's smiling every time I see him.
07:51How about you?
07:52I wouldn't know.
07:54He's never seen the chief.
07:56Really?
07:57She doesn't believe he's in there.
07:59She says it's just a slab of stone.
08:00Because it is just a slab of stone.
08:02I don't know, Sarah.
08:02I think it depends on how you look at it.
08:04Oh, come on.
08:06It's the Virgin Mary in a potato chip.
08:08One person claims they see something, and then suddenly everyone's running around believing they see it, too.
08:12Yeah, but if someone sees the chief, if they believe they see the chief, then they see the chief.
08:17Can we talk about something besides a pile of rocks?
08:20Yes, we can.
08:21Here's to your mom.
08:23Passing first level of the MT.
08:25Thanks.
08:26Yay.
08:28Mom, are you going to get to drive the ambulance?
08:31Probably.
08:32Someday.
08:32Cool.
08:34Hey, Eric.
08:35Hello, buddy.
08:36How come you don't have a job?
08:38Um, Matty.
08:40Um.
08:41It's okay.
08:43I'm looking for work right now.
08:45Oh.
08:46Okay.
08:48I'm sorry.
08:50Oh, please.
08:50Sorry.
08:51I mean, although being called out as a bum by an eight-year-old, brutal.
08:57You're not a bum.
08:58Well, I'm living at the inn.
09:00I gave up my calling, and today I was looking through the Help Wanted section, so...
09:04So you're really quitting the church?
09:06For now.
09:08I've got to figure out what I want.
09:12Mid-church is not something you can do partway.
09:15Who knows?
09:16Maybe I'll be the lumberjack.
09:18I think I'd be a really hot lumberjack.
09:19Mm-hmm.
09:21Hey, Matty, you ready to go?
09:27Yeah.
09:35Okay, one energy bar.
09:37Three bottles of water, lots of stretch.
09:40Knife, reflective tape that you're putting to good use.
09:43And a working flashlight.
09:46We can use this tonight for a signal if we have to.
09:48See, that's all we have, huh?
09:50That's all I was able to grab after the wave hit.
09:52Do you think this will work?
09:53Can't hurt anything that'll help us signal another boat.
09:58How is he?
09:59He's in and out of consciousness.
10:01Jack, if we don't get rescued soon...
10:03Hey, we're gonna get out of here.
10:05I'm sure they're looking for us.
10:07Look, that wave came out of nowhere.
10:08We're not sure we're drifting north, right?
10:11There's a good chance that we'll hit a shipping lane another two or three days.
10:14Chance.
10:14Seriously, stay positive.
10:16This will work out.
10:20Just like Jim.
10:22Jim?
10:22My husband.
10:24He's a positive thinker.
10:27We met in college when I was tutoring him in physics.
10:29He was getting D's but still thought he could be pre-med.
10:33And?
10:34He got a B and became a sculptor.
10:35How'd you meet Maren?
10:39We met at a bar.
10:40Another time, Miss Glasset.
10:43I was reaching over to get a napkin.
10:46She accused me of hitting on her.
10:49What?
10:52She was right.
10:54But I backed out of it.
10:55Why?
10:57Because a lot of our reasons don't seem to matter right now.
11:01Hey, do you believe in love at first sight?
11:09A scientist in me thinks it's impossible.
11:12But the girl in me wants to believe it?
11:14Well, I think...
11:16I think that's what it was with her.
11:18Wow.
11:20I never told anyone that.
11:22Your secret's safe with me.
11:23Ben, my husband and I would like to buy a round.
11:35Ah!
11:38Ah, the honeymoon phase.
11:41Oh, hey, speaking of honeymoons,
11:44what would you say to me taking you on a little adventure?
11:47Oh, you love adventure.
11:49She loves adventure.
11:52She's right.
11:53Where are we going?
11:55Jamaica.
11:56Am I in Riviera?
11:58The Riviera in Riviera?
12:00Snow Removal Expo 07?
12:03What do you think?
12:04I think that it doesn't sound like an adventure
12:06so much as a snow removal expo.
12:08Oh, it is so much more than that.
12:09Trust me.
12:10All the guys from work are going.
12:12All the vendors will be showing off their best equipment,
12:15and I'm going to show you off.
12:17You meant that to sound sweet,
12:18but it makes me feel like a shovel.
12:19Come on, my little trowel.
12:21Let me take you.
12:22Ugh.
12:22I need to know about the tell.
12:25Mm.
12:26Tell?
12:28Yeah.
12:28Yes.
12:29Is it a hotel with room service, lounge, maybe a spa,
12:33or is it a motel with a snack machine
12:35and a coin-operated massage mattress?
12:38It's a beautiful hotel,
12:39and I've already booked the couple's massage.
12:41Mm.
12:42I love this man.
12:44I love this man.
12:44I love this man.
12:47Well, I didn't hear Jane order another round.
12:49It's not from Jane.
12:52So, post-honeymoon phase,
12:55where are you lovebirds planning on building your nest?
12:58What's that?
12:59Where are you going to live, New York or Elmo?
13:00New York.
13:01New York.
13:07Nice.
13:08Like a girl who can double fist.
13:10Oh, I don't usually double fist.
13:13You bought this for me.
13:14You are correct.
13:15Uh, have a seat.
13:17I'm sorry.
13:18Please.
13:20Oh, let's go.
13:24I don't know how anyone can have a conversation.
13:27It's so loud in here.
13:28You know?
13:30You want to go for a walk?
13:31Oh, I'm...
13:32No.
13:33I think I'm good here.
13:35Double fisting.
13:41So, uh,
13:42what you were talking about on the radio today,
13:45it's good stuff.
13:46You think?
13:47Yeah, I can see why I was such a fan.
13:50I totally get the message.
13:52I'm going to be patient.
13:55I am happy to hear that.
13:59I'm going to wait on you.
14:01Excuse me?
14:02Yeah, I mean, I know we both got a lot going on,
14:05but I feel something
14:07when I look at you.
14:10Like a spark, you know?
14:12I want it bad enough to wait.
14:16Oh, um, Patrick.
14:19You are very sweet.
14:23Oh, my God.
14:28Nightmare!
14:29Nightmare!
14:31Annie!
14:32Wait!
14:33Wait!
14:35God!
14:36Idiot!
14:37Annie!
14:37Oh!
14:44Annie!
14:45Annie!
14:46Wait!
14:46Let me explain!
14:48If you think that I'm just going to roll over
14:50and let you steal my Patrick,
14:51then you have another thing coming!
14:53I've waited too long for him
14:55to let Chinese curses,
14:56lightning,
14:57and your feminine wiles
14:59take him away from me!
15:00Annie, I do not want your Patrick!
15:01Why not?
15:04Because it's sweet.
15:06And incredibly confused as he may be,
15:08we all know
15:09he belongs with you.
15:11Why doesn't he know?
15:14I will come by tomorrow,
15:15and we will figure this all out, okay?
15:19Okay.
15:20Thanks, man.
15:22Oh,
15:23I am so glad
15:25I don't have to fight you for Patrick.
15:26I don't think I could compete.
15:30Annie!
15:31It's true.
15:32You were so sophisticated.
15:34You literally wrote the book on dating.
15:36That's sweet.
15:37I mean,
15:38you've slept with so many more guys
15:39than tons, probably.
15:41Oh, yeah.
15:42Thousands.
15:45Kitty.
15:52I'm calling a family meeting.
15:54What?
15:54Family meeting?
15:57You're just so cute.
15:58Oh,
15:58focus, man.
15:59Focus.
16:01How come we've been married
16:02for over a week
16:03and not talk about
16:04where we're gonna live?
16:05We've been doing
16:06other stuff.
16:09And maybe we just
16:10didn't want to talk about it.
16:12Maybe.
16:14Do you have any ideas
16:15about how this should go?
16:17Well,
16:18you know how I feel
16:19about New York.
16:20You know how I feel
16:21about Elmo.
16:22Right.
16:23Well,
16:24I was thinking that
16:25if we can't figure this out,
16:27maybe we should give a long-distance
16:28relationship a try.
16:31A long-distance thing
16:32would be fine
16:33if we were dating.
16:34I wouldn't mind
16:35visiting my girlfriend,
16:36but I want to live
16:37with my wife.
16:40Oh,
16:40you are so adorable.
16:43And I think we both
16:44remember what happened
16:45the last time
16:46I tried to live in Elmo.
16:47I can move to New York.
16:54You love it here.
16:56Your friends,
16:57your boat,
16:58everything is here for you.
17:05Screw it.
17:06I'm moving to New York.
17:11Are you sure about this?
17:12What are you going to do
17:14in New York?
17:16What do you mean?
17:17It snows in New York,
17:18doesn't it?
17:20Oh.
17:22I love this guy.
17:30Annie,
17:31your life has been
17:32flipped upside down.
17:34You've been so caught up
17:35in helping Patrick
17:35that you've been bottling
17:37your feelings up
17:39like a sad,
17:40sad genie.
17:42Well,
17:42now's your chance
17:43to let it out.
17:44You need to tell Patrick
17:45what's on your mind
17:45and remember,
17:47be honest.
17:52Patrick,
17:53I have done everything
17:55I can think of
17:56to trigger your memory
17:57and I know
17:59it's only been
17:59a few weeks,
18:00but...
18:01Go on.
18:07I wake up
18:08every day
18:09hoping I'm going
18:11to find you.
18:13All of you
18:14waiting for me
18:16and saying,
18:17hey ho,
18:18and instead
18:19it's this guy.
18:20It's still you,
18:22but it's this guy
18:24who says good morning.
18:26And what do you want?
18:27I think she wants me
18:28to say hey ho
18:29instead of good morning.
18:30All I want right now
18:31is my old Patrick.
18:34And?
18:35That's it.
18:36I think she wants me
18:36to say hey ho
18:38I just want you back.
18:41Patrick,
18:42it's your turn.
18:45Annie,
18:46I'm sorry
18:47all this had to happen
18:48to you.
18:50And I wish
18:50I could be the guy
18:51I was
18:51and give you
18:52what you want,
18:53but I don't even
18:54know that guy.
18:57And I can't keep
18:58living for him
18:59and I can't keep
19:00feeling guilty
19:01for not remembering.
19:04You're a great girl,
19:05Annie.
19:06I don't want you
19:07to be happy,
19:08but I gotta be happy
19:10too.
19:12And I think
19:13right now
19:14for me that means
19:17seeing other people.
19:19And by other people
19:20I might mean
19:23Maren.
19:24What?
19:27No,
19:28he doesn't
19:28mean Maren.
19:30I think
19:30he means Maren.
19:32This is crazy.
19:33I'm gonna leave
19:34you two alone
19:34to figure this out.
19:35I'll call you.
19:36Don't call me.
19:44Sarah?
19:46Hey.
19:47Okay.
19:47What was that for?
19:55That was the thank you
19:56for helping me
19:56find what I wanted.
19:57You found a job.
19:58Actually,
19:59I never lost it.
20:00I just had to
20:01look at things
20:02a little differently.
20:05Look at what
20:06things differently?
20:06I was thinking
20:07about our conversation
20:08yesterday about
20:09the chief and the chief.
20:11The pile of rocks
20:12outside?
20:12Exactly.
20:13People look at that
20:14pile of rocks
20:14and they see the chief
20:15because that's what
20:15they believe
20:16and I'm a believer
20:17too, Sarah.
20:17And I want to help
20:18people believe.
20:19Not in the chief
20:21and God.
20:23Oh,
20:24you're gonna go back
20:25to that church?
20:25No,
20:26not to the old one.
20:28No,
20:28I want to build
20:29my own congregation,
20:31find a new space,
20:32go back to being a pastor.
20:33I think that my old
20:34parishioners
20:34will follow me.
20:35Of course they would.
20:36Yeah.
20:37I'm in private.
20:47Sarah,
20:49if I'm gonna be a pastor
20:51again,
20:51I have to practice
20:53what I preach,
20:55which means no more.
20:58Oh my God.
20:59Yeah.
21:01We're gonna go back
21:02to the way things were.
21:03I don't know
21:04if I call it going back,
21:05but I can see a future
21:06with you
21:07and I hope that
21:07you can see it too
21:08and I love you,
21:11Sarah.
21:18This grass got a leak
21:19in it somewhere.
21:20I can't find it.
21:21How bad?
21:22It's slow right now,
21:23but we're taking on water.
21:25I think you should
21:26put Gary on your boat.
21:27I don't think
21:28we should move on.
21:30Here,
21:30climb over here.
21:31Buy some time.
21:38Got a delivery for you.
21:54What are these?
21:56Flowers.
21:57Or lilacs,
21:58to be exact.
21:59Who are they from?
22:02Looks like you got
22:03a suitor, Penelope.
22:08Patrick.
22:14Cool.
22:15You got me flowers.
22:16No, I didn't.
22:18This was almost cute
22:20at the beginning, almost.
22:21Now it's annoying.
22:22Knock it off.
22:24Unbelievable.
22:26He gave you flowers?
22:27No.
22:29You didn't?
22:31Who are they from, then?
22:33Who should I know?
22:34Maybe they're from
22:35Mr. Baring T.
22:38Ring already.
22:56Hello?
22:57Maren.
22:58Hey.
22:59Stuart?
23:02So,
23:03did you like my flowers?
23:08I hope you like lilacs.
23:12I do.
23:13What's the occasion?
23:14I made a promise to myself
23:16never to bring my work home.
23:18Not following.
23:19Hold on.
23:20I only read my authors
23:21in my office
23:21during office hours.
23:23But now I find myself
23:24taking your work home with me
23:25and reading you
23:26well into the night.
23:27My chapters are that good?
23:29Yes.
23:30And you're that great.
23:32I can't stop thinking
23:34about you, Maren.
23:34ever since our, uh,
23:37our little ski trip.
23:39Really?
23:39You have got some nerve, buddy.
23:42Sending me flowers
23:43after all this time?
23:44I heard of the three-day rule,
23:46but the three-month rule?
23:49Well, I lack an immediacy
23:50I make up for
23:50in staying power.
23:52Stuart,
23:53I'm with Jack now.
23:55So I was right.
23:57The way you wrote about him,
23:58this is bound to be
23:59a life-imitating art situation.
24:02We went to a wedding together
24:03and things clicked.
24:07Can I ask you a question?
24:08Go ahead.
24:09Why don't you sound happier?
24:11It's complicated.
24:13Try me.
24:17It's too foggy for that to work.
24:26God, I'm starving.
24:28Oh, I thought we were
24:29trying to think positive.
24:30I am.
24:32I'm thinking about
24:32where we're gonna eat
24:33when we get home.
24:36I'm gonna go to this old place
24:37and have a cheeseburger
24:39and fries.
24:40You should dream big.
24:43What about you?
24:46Sea bath.
24:47I'm gonna have a huge filet
24:48when I get home.
24:52What's so funny?
24:54We're stranded
24:55in the middle of the sea.
24:56You have one meal
24:57I think of
24:57when you choose a fish.
24:58We haven't tried
25:00Jim Sea bath.
25:01It transcends me.
25:05I'm sorry.
25:08No, you're not.
25:09No, you're not.
25:20You're not exactly dating, Jack.
25:22I'd like to differ.
25:24Sounds more like waiting
25:25than, uh, dating.
25:26Here we go.
25:27You're gonna tell me
25:28how crazy it is
25:29to sit around
25:29and wait for nine months.
25:31Doesn't sound like
25:31I have to.
25:32I don't like you right now.
25:35All right,
25:36let me remedy that.
25:37Meet me halfway.
25:39I don't think
25:39there can be
25:40a halfway with us.
25:41Oh, no,
25:41that's not what I mean.
25:43Let me send a plane.
25:44Meet me in Kildare.
25:46Kildare?
25:47North Dakota.
25:48I know the name
25:48doesn't sound romantic,
25:49but it's 1,700 miles west of here,
25:51and it's about the same
25:52from Elmo.
25:52Halfway.
25:54Well, you get points
25:55for originality.
25:57There's this whole bar there
25:58that happens to be
25:59the home of Bannockburn.
26:00And Bannockburn
26:01is halfway between here
26:03and where?
26:04Heaven.
26:05It's a 47-year-old scotch.
26:07You also get points
26:08for research.
26:10What do you say?
26:11I say that although
26:12I appreciate a man
26:13who would fly a lady
26:14halfway across the country
26:15for a nice glass of scotch,
26:17I'm waiting on my Jack.
26:21And this would be
26:22the same Jack
26:22you haven't spoken to
26:23in a week?
26:25I seem to remember
26:26you not wanting to be
26:26the girl who sits by the phone.
26:35What is it?
26:36Am I giving off
26:37some sort of scent?
26:38I don't smell anything
26:39in particular.
26:40I just won't even dress
26:41for a plow expo.
26:43Casual, right?
26:44It's like the second
26:46I commit to a guy,
26:47I've got boys lining up.
26:49You know what they say,
26:50when it rains, it pours.
26:52I don't want to be poured upon.
26:53Honey, it's just a random guy
26:55at the bar and Patrick.
26:56Who is really starting
26:57to freak me out.
27:00And then there's Stuart.
27:01Oh, Stuart.
27:02He is something else.
27:04True.
27:05A man's dating him.
27:06I was sending aircraft
27:07to whiskey away.
27:08That qualifies as something else.
27:09Right.
27:10But so what?
27:11You stated your case
27:12and turned him down, right?
27:14Brian?
27:17I did.
27:18But he's starting
27:19to poke holes in my case.
27:20Holes that could get bigger.
27:22I'm not happy
27:23sitting around
27:23waiting for the phone to ring.
27:24Why hasn't Jack called me?
27:26I'm sure there's a good reason.
27:27Well, there better be
27:28because I'm starting
27:29to get mad at him.
27:30And then I feel guilty
27:31for getting mad.
27:32And then I get angry at him
27:33for making me feel guilty.
27:34Why is Stuart so smart?
27:37And sweet.
27:37And good looking.
27:39Are you wishing
27:39you were sipping scotch
27:40in North Dakota
27:41instead of knitting
27:41a scarf in Alaska?
27:43No.
27:43No, no, not right now.
27:45I'm strong right now.
27:47But what about
27:47two months from now?
27:49Four months.
27:50What if I'm not strong
27:51enough for the long haul?
27:52I guess you'll just
27:53have to wait to find out.
27:55What do you think?
27:57Snow Expo
27:58or
27:58Poe Expo?
28:00I'll make you coffee
28:02in the morning.
28:05Hey, buddy.
28:06How you doing?
28:06Hey, Sam.
28:07Hey, nice to see you.
28:09John!
28:10What's over there?
28:11You are very popular
28:12amongst the plow community.
28:14Here, regular John Deere Jr.
28:15Do you have any idea
28:16how'd you appreciate
28:17you doing this?
28:18Actually, it's all
28:18very fascinating.
28:20Take this one, for example.
28:22It was a neat-looking plow.
28:23I bet it could, you know,
28:26plow some snow.
28:26That's a little snow bunny.
28:30Sounds cute.
28:31That's the problem.
28:32You see, it's fine
28:33for the snowfalls
28:34that get back east,
28:35but we toast out here.
28:36You're the expert.
28:37Hey, Sam.
28:38What's up?
28:38Hey, Mark.
28:40Um, this is my wife, Jane.
28:42Wow.
28:44Congratulations, bro.
28:45Listen, I gotta show you
28:47something.
28:48All right?
28:54Wow.
28:55Yeah.
28:55Wow.
28:57Why, love?
28:59This is the Blizzard Breaker 480.
29:03Reinforced mold board.
29:0430-ton clearing capacity.
29:06Two-stage rotary fan snowblower.
29:0860-foot salt-spreading capacity.
29:12It's the Aston Martin of snow removal.
29:15This is what you need in Alaska.
29:17Yeah?
29:18You could've used this on the lot
29:19over by the laundromat
29:20last February.
29:21You're telling me.
29:21We got one ordered for the fall.
29:23I can't wait to climb in it.
29:24Aren't you gonna be in New York?
29:26Oh, yeah.
29:30Well, they got lots of rough weather
29:31back there.
29:32Rough.
29:33Come on.
29:33That's snow bunny weather.
29:34I like the little snow bunny.
29:40It's cute.
29:50Hey, Annie.
29:52Hi.
29:52Hi.
29:52Is it okay to talk here?
29:57Oh, Chief Celia is aware of Patrick and mine's crumbling relationship.
30:01You got a plan for us?
30:03Well, I've been thinking.
30:05Maybe you need to go back as far in your relationship as you can and start over.
30:09You and Patrick need to find your big bang.
30:12I already suggested that.
30:14She did.
30:15Sex just made things worse.
30:16No, not that big bang.
30:19But think back to the one moment when you and Patrick knew you were meant for each other.
30:25Oh, I know.
30:27It was when we took the test in the back of your book and we both had the same answers.
30:31So retake the test.
30:33Patrick still has the same heart he always had, right?
30:36Right.
30:37Let him realize his feelings all over again.
30:39Maybe you two should leave it alone.
30:41But what do you think?
30:43You know, years ago, Buzz and I had a connection.
30:49And his, you know, his feelings changed.
30:52But I kept carrying a torch.
30:54I wasted a lot of time when we could have been friends.
30:57I don't want you to waste time.
31:03I like Maren's plan better.
31:11It's no good.
31:12Leek's out of control.
31:14I think we should move him.
31:15Gary.
31:16Gary, we're going to pull you onto our boat, okay?
31:18It's going to hurt a little.
31:19You've got to do it.
31:20You're taking on too much water.
31:21Now hold on to it.
31:22Hold on.
31:27I'm going to pull this way.
31:32Stop.
31:34Stop away.
31:36Pull me back.
31:37Stop.
31:42If his raft sinks, it's going to drag us down with it.
31:45Some of it will find us soon.
31:46I'm sorry if I came on too strong there.
32:09I'm the kind of guy who does that.
32:10I come on strong.
32:11And, uh, I call.
32:14I see that.
32:17So, any word from the Bering Sea?
32:19No, not yet.
32:20Is this your plan?
32:21You're going to call until you win me over?
32:24Seems rather transparent when you put it that way.
32:27Um, look, Maren, we're a couple of grown-ups.
32:31If this relationship with Jack is, uh...
32:33Uh-huh.
32:34You called it a relationship.
32:36If you're happy with what you have now, then I'm happy for you.
32:42Just tell me to go away, and I will.
32:45If not, my offer stands.
32:54Please close your book and put your pencil down.
32:57Okay.
32:58Just a sec.
32:59Done.
33:00All right.
33:01Now for the fun part.
33:02Good.
33:02I was hoping for a fun part.
33:03We are going to tell each other our answers, and then see how many match.
33:08Okay, what did you get for question one?
33:10A.
33:11I had B.
33:14Oh, well.
33:15What about question two?
33:17A.
33:17C.
33:19Three?
33:20A again.
33:21Can I see your exam?
33:27No, this is all wrong.
33:30The last time we took this test, you answered B for question 14, and now your answer is A.
33:38What's more important in a relationship?
33:40Attraction or affection?
33:42Yeah.
33:43A. Attraction sounded right to me.
33:45If you're attractive, you'll get affection out the wazoo.
33:48And questions 30 through 43 are a hornet's nest.
33:53Yeah, I got bored and just started spelling.
33:56Cab, bad, dab.
33:59It's just a dumb quiz.
34:01Dumb quiz?
34:03This test was the cornerstone.
34:05The foundation of our relationship.
34:08Well, I didn't know.
34:09I'm sorry, Annie.
34:11I can't just make it happen.
34:13I mean, I wish I could.
34:14Patrick, I think maybe we should try just being friends.
34:25Are you sure?
34:27I think it's for the best right now.
34:30Okay.
34:32I could use a good friend.
34:35Well, you got one.
34:37Okay.
34:44Quit bailing.
34:53You need water?
34:56I need you to untie this raft.
34:58Let me go.
35:01Go back to sleep, man.
35:04There's nothing more you can do for me.
35:06I know it.
35:08I know it.
35:09I'm not going to let you die out here.
35:14In a couple of days, we're going to hit the shipping lane.
35:17In a couple of days.
35:20Hey, guy.
35:20Maybe a half hour.
35:23Before I go down,
35:24I'll start pulling you two down with me.
35:29I'm already dead.
35:34Save her.
35:37Save yourself.
35:37Save yourself.
35:38It's okay.
35:46It's okay.
35:57Jack.
35:59There's no other choice.
36:03We're in this together, okay?
36:05All of it.
36:14I'm sorry.
36:17I'm so sorry.
36:19Take care of my dog, okay?
36:20Okay.
36:21Okay.
36:21I'm sorry.
36:22There's no other choice.
36:24I'm sorry.
36:50Honey, we need to have another family meeting.
36:56Seriously? Here?
36:58Yes.
37:01While you were going on about Blizzard bastards,
37:04I did a little soul-searching, and I have a pitch.
37:09Pitch away?
37:10What if we spent six months of the year in New York,
37:13then the other six in Elmo?
37:15Be bi-coastal.
37:16I'm intrigued. Proceed.
37:18April through September, we live on my turf.
37:22I'm pretty busy that time of year.
37:23And then we come back here for October through March,
37:26and you can plow to your heart's content.
37:30Let me get this straight.
37:32We'll be in the city while it's sweltering hot.
37:34Yeah.
37:35And then we'll come back to my little iceberg of a town
37:37while it's freezing.
37:39Pretty much.
37:40What do you think?
37:45I love this woman.
37:48I call it the six and six plan.
37:57You think it'll work?
37:59I have absolutely no idea.
38:01But I'm going to try and make it work,
38:03because I know what I want, and that's Sam.
38:05That's got to be nice.
38:07What, sweating it up for the first half of the year
38:08and then freezing for the second half?
38:11No.
38:12Finding what you want
38:13and then moving forward into the backwards.
38:15Eric told me he loved me.
38:19Well, that's good, right?
38:21I guess.
38:22But he also told me he's going back to being a pastor,
38:24which means no sex until marriage.
38:26Oh.
38:27Not so good.
38:28Boyfriend with no sex.
38:30All the work with none of the perk.
38:32Or I might be in a relationship
38:33with the man I'm going to marry.
38:34Mm-hmm.
38:36I guess it all depends on how you look at things.
38:37Mm-hmm.
38:38Yeah.
38:38Like, I could be waiting for the man I love,
38:40or I could be missing out on my entire life.
38:42I like the first choice a lot better.
38:44Mm-hmm.
38:45You have to have faith.
38:46Says the woman who's reluctantly dating your pastor.
38:49Oh.
38:50I just wish there were something,
38:53some sort of sign to help me know
38:54I'm making the right choice.
38:56Something like a phone call.
38:57Oh, that would be nice.
38:58Mm-hmm.
39:00But isn't that what faith is?
39:02Belief in the absence of proof?
39:04It'll work out with Jack.
39:05Oh, maybe.
39:06In nine months.
39:08I just feel like everyone around me is moving on,
39:10and I'm knitting in place.
39:14This isn't a scarf.
39:17Oh, no, it's a sleeve.
39:19I was getting bored,
39:20so I moved out of scarf country.
39:22You're knitting for a man you haven't even heard from.
39:26It's just a stupid sweater.
39:28No.
39:29This, my dear, is your sign.
39:32You keep saying you're worried
39:33you're not strong enough to wait.
39:35Meanwhile, you're knitting for Jack
39:37because you know, deep down,
39:39you know you're gonna be here for him
39:40when he comes home.
39:42Whether you want to admit it or not,
39:44this is a sleeve
39:45knitted by a woman
39:46who is waiting for her man.
39:48I see him.
40:01No, you don't.
40:02I do.
40:03You gotta turn your eye on like this.
40:08Anything?
40:09Nothing.
40:11Keep looking.
40:12See you around.
40:14Okay.
40:22Take a step and go out of the shade.
40:27They say patience is a virtue.
40:32And like most virtues,
40:33we never know if we possess it
40:35until it's been tested.
40:38If we're lucky,
40:40we have someone to take that test with us.
40:44And if we can pass that test,
40:46if we can wait long enough,
40:48we just might find the reward
40:50greater than we ever expected.
40:52If I'm a believer, too,
40:56I love you.
41:03The funny thing about waiting
41:04is it always seems
41:06the more we want something.
41:07I'm up for another beer
41:08if you're up for another game.
41:09You got it?
41:10The longer we have to wait for it.
41:12We could be more
41:14than friends
41:17Deciding to wait out the long haul
41:27shouldn't be taken lightly.
41:30I'm helpless without me
41:32Helpless without me
41:35But it's an easier decision
41:37to live with than others.
