00:00Previously on Men in Trees...
00:02I have degenerative kidney disease.
00:03I was wondering if you would like to stay with me.
00:05Jack, ship went down in the Bering Sea.
00:07Gary's in trouble.
00:08Let me go.
00:10They're officially calling off the search.
00:12Jack!
00:15What exactly the welcome moment I was expecting.
00:17Let's move in together.
00:30And I miss the rush of your skin.
00:34Let's move in together.
00:37Really?
00:38Why wait?
00:40Yes.
00:43Yes.
00:44Yes.
00:48All right, I gotta run.
00:51Do the whole move-in thing after I get back from Azerbaijan.
00:54Azerbaijan?
00:55Yeah, I can't wait.
00:56Landmines everywhere.
00:58But...
00:58I'll see you in a couple of months.
01:00A couple years at the most.
01:02Wait!
01:04You okay?
01:05You were going to Azerbaijan.
01:07For a couple of years.
01:09It was a dream.
01:11Still, you were so blasé about it.
01:13You did really ask me to move in, didn't you?
01:15That wasn't just part of the dream.
01:17I really did.
01:18And you really said yes.
01:22I know.
01:24What?
01:25Was it crazy?
01:26I was skipping over the whole dating stage.
01:28I mean, we'd hardly know each other.
01:31No, the important things.
01:32The devil is in the details.
01:34So we'll learn the details.
01:37Really quickly.
01:38When you're just dating, you don't have to show all your words at once.
01:41I mean, not that I have any words, because I actually don't.
01:43But I have other things.
01:45Terrible toes.
01:46I tend to see to grind my teeth, but no words.
01:50I don't want to waste any more time.
01:53Let's just do it.
01:53Jack, I am not a let's just do it kind of a person.
01:57I'm more of a mull it over and make pro and conless and talk to a million people and get input from a therapist kind of a person.
02:05And con number one, I do not exactly have a great track record when it comes to living with people.
02:09Well, I tried it with Graham.
02:10Look how that turned out.
02:11Well, I'm not Graham.
02:13And you just lived with Lynn.
02:15Maybe you're a serial mover in her.
02:17Man, being on that ship, nearly dying, the life that I wanted to come back to had you in the middle of it.
02:25But I want that life to start now.
02:31I don't know why you don't talk more.
02:33You're pretty good at it.
02:38Okay.
02:41Under one condition.
02:42No Bering Sea adventures.
02:43Or Azerbaijan adventures.
02:44In fact, no more adventures.
02:46Period.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Trust me.
02:48After what happened, I'm not going anywhere.
02:52It's not bad, huh?
02:54I want to think about the past.
02:55Okay, slow down.
03:01Slow down.
03:05Okay, stop!
03:10All right.
03:11What do you think the problem was?
03:13No music to accompany my awesome steering.
03:16No.
03:17Hands should be at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
03:19All right, I don't need a protractor to tell me your right hand was pushing 345.
03:22Come on, I know how to do this now.
03:24As far as you know you do.
03:26But you just sustained a head injury, which has left you with giant black holes in your memory.
03:30What if you're driving in the rain, start hydroplaning, and realize your what to do in a skid knowledge is buried next to the memory of your first day of school, or your 10th birthday party, or your love over any age?
03:40Mom!
03:43Sorry, Patrick, but I own 51% of this car, which means I decide when you get the keys back.
03:50All right, come on.
03:51Let's go practice parallel parking over by the garbage can.
03:53I'm totally open.
03:59Me too.
04:00Both houses have their pluses and minuses.
04:02Exactly.
04:04So, do you want to just live in my house then?
04:06We could.
04:07Although I did just buy new appliances.
04:14Well, I replaced all the pipes last year.
04:15My garbage disposal could cheat through a rock.
04:18Well, my house is on a bigger piece of land.
04:20You have seen my new professional series self-cleaning stove.
04:23And I know it can accommodate two people, because...
04:25Because you lived here with Lynn.
04:29Maybe a fresh start would be good.
04:31Oh, I don't like that.
04:40Oh, but wait.
04:41Cash.
04:42I'll figure out the money stuff later.
04:44No, the person, Cash, who lives in my house.
04:47Oh, right.
04:49Well, can't he move?
04:50Jack, he's got kidney disease.
04:52I can't just put him out on the street.
04:54He can stay here.
04:56He won't take a handout.
04:57Well, in exchange for someplace to live, he can fix the place up.
05:02You need to do a number on it.
05:15Hello?
05:16Finally, I've been trying you all morning.
05:18You got an offer to business hat off, friend hat on.
05:22What?
05:22Oh, okay.
05:24What's going on?
05:25Jack asked me to move in.
05:26No.
05:27Yes!
05:27And?
05:28I said yes.
05:29Oh, no!
05:30I'm seizing the day.
05:31Well, speaking as someone who's planning a reception to celebrate marriage to a man I've known for less than six months, I say bravo.
05:38Oh, yeah!
05:39I love your invite.
05:41Consider this my RSVP guest.
05:43And I guess I will be bringing my new roommate.
05:47Oh, excellent.
05:49Congratulations, honey.
05:50I couldn't be happier for you and Jack.
05:52Oh, thanks.
05:53Your support means a lot to me.
05:54Can I put my work bonnet back on now?
05:56Maybe you must.
05:57I must, because I just got a call from O Magazine.
06:02They're doing an essay series on finding your serenity.
06:06They want me?
06:07Well, first they wanted Maya Angelou, but now they want you.
06:12Unfortunately, Maya's people took forever to decline, so you only have three days to write the essay.
06:17But, knowing how you thrive under deadlines...
06:19I cringe under deadlines?
06:21I already said yes.
06:22Oh, of course you did.
06:25Oh, I guess I better get cracking.
06:27Oh, wait, before you go.
06:28What's another word for muscular?
06:31Strapping.
06:32Perfect.
06:34That's why you're the writer.
06:35I'll talk to you later, honey.
06:39Strapping.
06:40Nice.
06:41Find anything?
06:42No.
06:42Don't get discouraged.
06:43You've only been job hunting for a week.
06:47Okay.
06:48How does this sound?
06:49He was a strapping outdoorsman from Elmo, Alaska, and her idea of the wilderness was the outer boroughs.
06:57But when Sam Soloway first laid eyes on Jane Burns, it quickly became clear that they could live anywhere as long as they lived together.
07:05Wow.
07:07Flowery.
07:08Trust me.
07:08The more romantic a couple's mythology, the better their chances of getting into the New York Times wedding section.
07:13Two weeks ago, literary editor slash agent married snowplower slash blank.
07:18Blank.
07:19As soon as you find a job, we'll fill in that blank.
07:23If I find a job.
07:24When?
07:25A strapping man like you shouldn't have a problem.
07:29So when you first saw me, would you say you were more lovestruck or awestruck?
07:34Hey, you.
07:43Trout or biting?
07:44Thought I'd grill tonight?
07:45Maybe make a pinot noir sauce?
07:47Oh, right.
07:49And you're probably eating with Jack, huh?
07:51No, I'm not eating with Jack.
07:54I'm moving in with him.
07:56Actually, he's moving in with me.
07:58Here.
07:58So you're kicking me out.
08:01No.
08:02Well, I mean, yes.
08:04But the good news is, Jack needs some work done on his place.
08:07So we were thinking that in exchange for a place to stay, you might want to fix it up.
08:12I'll be fine.
08:14No, really, this isn't just a charity thing.
08:15He really needs some work done on his house.
08:17I kind of trashed the place.
08:21Long story.
08:22Anyway, you can't live outside.
08:25Please say yes.
08:28Okay.
08:29Great.
08:31And I will still be taking you to your doctor's appointments.
08:34Princess, you don't need to use my kidneys as an excuse to see me.
08:38As if.
08:40Call me when he moves out.
08:43Excuse me?
08:44Being in love with someone is one thing.
08:46Living together is another.
08:47Yeah, I know that.
08:49Just saying.
08:49I've lived with your princess, and I've known your boy Jack for years.
08:53You two really aren't compatible.
08:56You've got a lot of nerve.
08:58I call it like I see it.
08:59Yeah, well, guess what?
08:59I call it like I see it, too.
09:01Yeah?
09:01Yeah.
09:02And this is just you trying to protect your turf.
09:05You don't know everything.
09:07No, I may not.
09:08But I do know that I don't need to hear your opinions.
09:12Just pack your stuff, okay?
09:14Yeah.
09:17I won't ever let it go.
09:21I won't ever let you go.
09:28I tried to watch you get you, but you don't know better.
09:33I'll never get a girl like you.
09:34Hey, there he is.
09:36Hey.
09:38Hey, heard about you and Marin.
09:41That was quick.
09:43Should be saying that to you.
09:44You really moving into her place?
09:46Yeah.
09:47Big mistake.
09:47Unless you don't mind living in a giant tampon bar.
09:50Oh, come on.
09:51No, I moved into a gal's apartment once.
09:53She had 93 scented candles.
09:56No, I counted them one night to keep from asphyxiating.
09:58I wouldn't worry about that.
10:00I wasn't worried.
10:01I'd worry about curtains.
10:02Yeah.
10:03Women have a thing about curtains.
10:05You give into those curtains?
10:07That's the beginning of the end.
10:08And remember, you gotta stake your plan right away.
10:11Sounds like you're advising him to pee in a corner.
10:13Actually, that's not a bad idea.
10:15Gotta get that counter.
10:21Orange juice helps the guys swim better.
10:25We're trying to get pregnant.
10:26Oh, no kidding.
10:27Congratulations.
10:28Yeah, that's great.
10:29We're not there yet.
10:31Still in the trying stage.
10:32I like the sound of that.
10:34It sucks.
10:35Huh?
10:36In order to maximize our chances of pregnancy,
10:38we're supposed to wait until she's ovulating.
10:41No sex?
10:43Barely.
10:44Oh, what's the upside?
10:46A child?
10:48I said, what's the upside?
10:51Uno, dos, tres, cuatro.
10:53La, la, la, la.
10:54La, la, la, la, la.
10:57La, la, la, la, la, la.
11:01Sorry I'm late.
11:02I had to wait for my mom to give me a lift.
11:04It's okay.
11:04We still have time.
11:05This is crazy.
11:06I need my car back.
11:09We need my car back.
11:10We?
11:11What else am I going to take you out of the town?
11:14Patrick, the thing is, again, I'm not interested.
11:18And actually, I am officially off the market.
11:20I'm moving in with Jack.
11:23Wow.
11:25Have you thought this through?
11:27Yes, I have.
11:28Living together is huge.
11:29And just sharing space at the end with Annie is intense.
11:32It turns out I'm ready for a little intense carpe diem.
11:35But aren't you scared you'll wake up one day and realize you've made a massive mistake,
11:39but it's too late because you're stuck and there's no way out?
11:42You're on the air.
11:42So, hey, Patrick and I were just discussing the term carpe diem, or seize the day.
11:53An idea so old it comes to us in Latin.
11:55Live for today.
11:56Don't let opportunity pass you by.
11:59Just do it.
12:00Which is all well and good.
12:01But what happens the day after you seize the day when you wake up and face the consequences?
12:07What do you think, my fellow MOAs?
12:10Given the choice, would you rather look or leap?
12:20Shouldn't take too long to fix up.
12:22Oh, yeah.
12:23Thanks for doing it.
12:24Thanks for letting me crash.
12:25No problem.
12:27Well, I guess that's it.
12:29Keys are on the table.
12:32Great.
12:33Hey.
12:35Congrats on the move.
12:36Oh.
12:37Thanks.
12:38Treat her right, man.
12:40I will.
12:41Try not to get her upset.
12:44If she gets upset, make her put on a robe before she talks to you.
12:49She always feels better when she's wearing a robe.
12:52I'll keep that in mind.
12:58Oh, what you got there?
13:00Got a clock.
13:03You don't like it.
13:04Oh, it's very, um...
13:06Middle school.
13:08So that's a no.
13:10Unless you love it.
13:11If you love it, I can learn to love it.
13:13No, I don't love it.
13:14You're putting that in there?
13:22It's empty.
13:24That's because it's decorative.
13:27Hey, shouldn't you be getting to work?
13:28Oh, I can start my serenity essay tomorrow.
13:30Tonight should be devoted to moving in with my boyfriend.
13:33All right.
13:35So I'm your boyfriend, huh?
13:37Yes.
13:38And I am your girlfriend.
13:40And I point that out because we skipped over the who are we in.
13:43Where's this going?
13:44Sounds good.
13:50So listen, um, girlfriend, how attached are you to the curtains in the bedroom?
13:58You know what?
14:01Let's leave the unpacking for tomorrow.
14:07Sounds good to me.
14:08Honey.
14:15In here.
14:16I've made dinner.
14:18What do you think?
14:19Move over, Martha?
14:21Oh, champagne.
14:23The perfect accompaniment to General Tso's chicken.
14:26How did you know?
14:27I didn't.
14:28I just thought we should celebrate since I got a job.
14:32You did?
14:33You're married to a New York City sanitation employee.
14:37I'm married to a New York City what now?
14:40Sanitation employee.
14:42As in garbage man?
14:43Yeah.
14:44It turns out that a garbage truck's operating system is pretty much the same as a snow plow's.
14:48Plus, there's union reciprocity.
14:51You don't say.
14:52You know, I gotta admit, I was actually getting pretty nervous I was gonna find something.
14:56Now you can finish the application.
14:58Perfect.
15:00I'll get champagne glasses.
15:02I mean, overprotective is one thing, but...
15:32Not giving a 26-year-old man keys to his own car?
15:36That's a crow overprotective.
15:38What?
15:39Yeah, yeah.
15:40Crazy and overprotective combined.
15:42Huh.
15:43Your mother's always been that way.
15:45And when she thought she had lost you...
15:47Yeah, I know, I know.
15:48All I'm saying is that it must be tough on her mom to go through all that and not want to clamp down on her kid a little.
15:55And I've tried to be patient, but I need a little freedom.
15:59Well, you don't have to convince me about the importance of freedom.
16:02Why do you think I fly airplanes?
16:03Yeah, screw driving.
16:06You should take up flying.
16:09Hey, you want to learn?
16:11Are there 17 species of hummingbirds in North America?
16:16The answer is yes.
16:17Okay, then.
16:19Take the controls.
16:21Now?
16:22Good a time as any.
16:24Yeah, you're right.
16:26Carpe diem.
16:28All right, now just hold her steady.
16:29All right.
16:31Gotta feel the engine.
16:32You feeling it?
16:33Yeah, I think so.
16:34All right.
16:36Now bring the nose up just a little.
16:39That's it.
16:40Now level her out.
16:42Nice and easy.
16:45There you go.
16:48Patrick, you are a natural.
16:50I am?
16:51Sure.
17:07Paul, what'd you do?
17:09Stalled it.
17:10Now one of us is going to have to restart the engine,
17:12and it's not going to be me.
17:15Whoa!
17:16Well, I can't.
17:18You can't.
17:18No, but I don't.
17:19You're wasting time.
17:20You can't prepare the snack.
17:21But I don't.
17:24Oh, it is.
17:27Oh, that was awesome.
17:28Stop it.
17:30No.
17:39Hi.
17:39I hear you're trying to get knocked up.
17:44You're trying to save your marriage or something.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:47Because that's a very bad reason to bring a child into the world.
17:49In fact, people who do that end up with children who are very ugly.
17:53Clearly, I was wanted.
17:55Clearly.
17:56So why the sudden change of heart?
17:57What gives?
17:58That's kind of personal, Mike.
18:00Well, part of the reason I never wanted kids was because my own upbringing was pretty screwed up.
18:15Oh, just like Oprah.
18:18And then I realized I never really had a family, and I want one.
18:24Well, good for you.
18:25I know I don't look a day over 30, but when I realized I wanted children, it was a little too late for Buzz and me.
18:31I'm glad you figured it out while you still have an egg or two left.
18:34Uh-huh.
18:35Look at you.
18:40You know, well, certainly detailed and lifelike.
18:52I'm just not sure it's a living room item.
18:55You know where it might look really cool?
18:57It's the shed.
18:57The shed.
18:58With my clock.
18:59Do you realize this is the third thing in mind that you thought would look really cool in the shed?
19:03Not fair.
19:03One of those items was a toolbox, and a toolbox goes in the shed.
19:06Unless, of course, it was a decorative toolbox.
19:08Decorative?
19:09Functional?
19:10It's not the end of the world to put something functional inside the house.
19:12Well, if you want to have a toolbox in the house, you're going to have a toolbox in the house.
19:15What's up with a toolbox?
19:16You're going to make me hang the fish.
19:17You don't want to live in a tampon box.
19:20Excuse me?
19:21I was talking to some of the guys at the chieftain.
19:24Ah.
19:25I just want this place to feel like my place, too.
19:27Well, so do I.
19:28It's just that our stuff isn't really blending.
19:35Okay, I'm going to have you.
19:35You want me to move into the shed?
19:37No.
19:38Each room has a captain, and the captain gets to choose the decor.
19:42Captain of the room?
19:43What do you think?
19:44Choose the room.
19:45Oh.
19:47Hmm.
19:48Okay.
19:48I want a captain of the bedroom.
19:53Captain of the bedroom.
19:55The curtains stay.
19:57I'll take the living room.
19:58What, the whole living room?
20:01That's like half the entire house.
20:03Well, if you get to be captain of the living room, then I get the bedroom, the bathroom, and the kitchen.
20:08Fine.
20:08It's just as long as I get to be captain of the living room.
20:24What are you looking at?
20:27Your boobs are definitely getting bigger.
20:29I'm not pregnant yet.
20:34Oh, hi.
20:35Hey.
20:36Aren't you two supposed to be holed up high on love?
20:38We are high on love and famished.
20:40Two burgers, por favor.
20:42Coming up.
20:43And how is living in sin?
20:46It's great.
20:47Thank you very much.
20:48Oh, and by the way, the tampon box comment not appreciated.
20:52I'm captain of the living room.
20:54Worst idea I ever had.
20:56How's the stuff?
20:57That stuff's great.
20:58I don't know if there's any room for it anyway.
21:00She's got these big bowls everywhere.
21:02Empty.
21:02And nothing goes in them because they're display bowls.
21:05I love your bowls.
21:06Well, thank you, Annie.
21:07Bowls and throw pillows.
21:09Oh, these throw pillows.
21:11Those are the worst.
21:12It takes me a half an hour to unmake the bed before I can even get in it.
21:16It takes me about a half hour to clean the sink after you shave, so I guess we're even.
21:20Yeah.
21:20Ew, hair in the sink.
21:22Hey.
21:22I could kill Eric.
21:23What about the hair around the drain after you shower?
21:26I could make a coat with that hair.
21:28What are you guys talking about?
21:29Yeah.
21:30Ah, speaking of hair, supremely awesome thing just happened to me.
21:35You feeling okay, Patrick?
21:36Feeling better and okay, my, my.
21:38Just learned something new about myself.
21:41I love flying, just like my dad.
21:43You do?
21:44Yeah, plus it just took me for a lesson.
21:46Just being up in the air like that.
21:47Woo!
21:48It's crumbelievable.
21:50Crazy and unbelievable combined.
21:52Patrick invented a few words when the end was slow last week.
21:55And get this.
21:56I'm flying the plane.
21:57All of a sudden, my dad just cuts the engine.
21:59I'm serious.
22:00And then he tells me to restart it.
22:03We're talking mid-air.
22:04Thought for sure we're gonna die right there.
22:06Okay?
22:07You are not to fly with him again.
22:09Yeah, but...
22:10That's not a request, young man.
22:14See, the thing is, it's not really up to you.
22:17Excuse me?
22:18I'm a 26-year-old man, which means I can pretty much do whatever I want.
22:22You're not the boss of me.
22:23You're not the boss of me.
22:37Never drink in the afternoon.
22:42Never drink alone.
22:44Thanks.
22:49Our first dual brush.
22:52It's a funny thing, isn't it?
22:53When you first brush your teeth with someone,
22:55no one wants to be the first one to stop
22:56because they're afraid it will reflect poorly
22:58on their commitment to dental hygiene.
23:01I haven't even crossed my mind.
23:03Wow.
23:04You have another thing women obsess over.
23:06The guys never notice.
23:09Oh, like that extra five pounds.
23:11The difference between two shades of beige or...
23:13Oh, wow.
23:16Just like that, huh?
23:18Yeah, I'm not much of a night person.
23:21That's a spy.
23:22I don't know you need to get to bed, but...
23:25Much earlier.
23:29Night.
23:35Night.
23:35Night.
23:35Night.
23:36Night.
23:36Night.
23:37Night.
23:37Night.
23:38Night.
23:39Night.

23:57Night.
23:58Night.
23:59Night.
24:00Night.
24:01Night.
24:02Night.
24:03All right, I'm off.
24:29You really have to work the night shift.
24:31I've got to pay my dues.
24:32Have a good route.
24:35Or whatever it is garbage man's wife is supposed to say.
24:39Goodbye is fine.
24:41Goodbye, then.
24:44Uh-oh.
24:45Someone forgot to recycle.
24:47Don't you go all aggro on me just because you work for the sanitation department.
24:51Why is there an application for the New York Times in the trash?
24:56Oh, I decided not to apply.
24:59You've wanted to be in the New York Times since you were a kid.
25:02Yeah, but I realized it was silly, so I decided to forget it.
25:07So it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a sanitation worker.
25:10Just so you know, it's not my dream to be a garbage man either.
25:23But unfortunately, people weren't throwing jobs at me.
25:25Sam.
25:26I moved to New York for you.
25:29If you aren't going to support me, I've got to get to my shift.
25:42Celia, this is a surprise.
25:44I need to speak to Buzz.
25:45Okay.
25:47Hey.
25:47Is your hair shorter?
25:49No.
25:49I know.
25:50It's my way of telling you it should be.
25:51Hey, Buzz!
25:52Get down here!
25:54Here for a beverage?
25:54No, thank you.
25:55Fine.
25:57What do you see?
25:59What are you doing here?
26:00Just what do you think you're doing with Patrick?
26:02Excuse me?
26:03You let him take control of an airplane?
26:05Oh, that.
26:07Well, the boy wanted to learn.
26:09I guess he takes after his old man.
26:11Well, unfortunately, that's crystal clear.
26:14What do you mean by that?
26:15Patrick was never rebellious.
26:17And now he is, just like you were.
26:19I can't help that you're his father.
26:21Hey, now, wait a minute.
26:21But I raised that boy, and I know what's best for him.
26:25Yeah, well, I happen to think that he needs a little bit more freedom.
26:28I don't care what you think.
26:30I've been doing this for 26 years.
26:31You've been doing it for, what, nine months?
26:33Well, I just found out that I have a son nine months ago.
26:37You knew about George.
26:38You didn't show much interest there.
26:41Ooh.
26:41I'd have to stand here and bet you would suck me at my own house.
26:53Do you believe her?
26:56She has been doing this longer.
26:58And like my grandma Wu says, to find out about the road ahead,
27:02seek out the person with the bloodiest feet.
27:05It means experience counts.
27:07I don't know why I waste ancient wisdom on you.
27:10Eight in the morning, right out my window.
27:23Hey.
27:24I'm tired and smelly.
27:28I just want to take a shower and go to bed, okay?
27:30Great, Sam.
27:32I faxed the application over to my contact.
27:35We can still be considered for this Sunday's paper.
27:39Her niece wants to be a novelist.
27:41I said I'd read her manuscript.
27:42You didn't have to.
27:43Yes, I did.
27:44Yes, I did.
27:46You were right.
27:47I should be supporting you in everything, and I want to.
27:50I do.
27:50It's just...
27:51Since I met you, my world has changed so completely, so quickly.
27:56Sometimes it just takes my brain a second to catch up.
28:01And you're all caught up now?
28:03Oh, I'm a lot cleaner than you.
28:14I'll go jump in the shower.
28:22Hey.
28:27Oh, I can't believe this thing is broken.
28:30It's unplugged.
28:33Oh.
28:35Why?
28:36I always unplug things when they aren't being used.
28:38Conserves energy.
28:42You're an unplugger.
28:44Interesting.
28:46Just so you know, I usually don't sleep until 11,
28:48but I was up until 4 in the morning writing.
28:50I know.
28:52I found you at 5.
28:53Walked you to bed.
28:55No memory, huh?
28:57I'm a really sound sleeper.
29:00I mean, summer camp a nightmare.
29:04Whew!
29:16You unplugged my computer, too?
29:19Yeah.
29:19Well, then, I walked you to bed.
29:23Sorry.
29:23I just assumed you'd...
29:24Oh, please, please, neither.
29:26You saved your stuff, right?
29:27I don't know.
29:28I told you I fell asleep.
29:29A saving?
29:31It was plugged in.
29:34Shoot.
29:35Well, did you back it up?
29:36No.
29:37But you're a writer.
29:39Well, I wouldn't have had to back anything up
29:40if my computer hadn't been unplugged.
29:42What if there was a power outage?
29:43There wasn't a power outage.
29:44I don't know, but there could have been.
29:45But there wasn't.
29:46You unplugged my computer,
29:47so now I've lost my entire paragraph.
29:49It's just a paragraph.
29:50No, it is not just a paragraph.
29:53It was a good paragraph.
29:54A good paragraph on Serenity
29:55that I was up half the night writing,
29:56which is why I got so tired
29:57that I forgot to save it in the first place.
30:00Okay.
30:01You're overreacting.
30:03Oh.
30:03Well, guess what?
30:04That's me!
30:05I'm an overreactor.
30:06I am the captain of overreacting
30:08and not backing upping.
30:12It's clear.
30:13Where are you going?
30:15The office.
30:16And you are the captain of no talking!
30:20Ugh!
30:27Oh!
30:28Hi, boss.
30:29Didn't expect you in today.
30:31Such a thing as too much talking.
30:33Oh.
30:34Sorry.
30:35No, not you, Maren.
30:37Such a thing as too much talking,
30:38and she does it.
30:39I'm guessing you're in a fight.
30:41She's in a fight.
30:42I left.
30:43Mid-fight?
30:44Girls really hate that.
30:48Why are you here on a Sunday?
30:49Oh, I was just doing some research.
30:52Patrick remembered that I don't like cheese,
30:54so I thought that maybe he might start to remember more,
30:57but apparently that's not the way it works.
31:00Sorry.
31:01Yeah.
31:01I know you don't want to talk,
31:08but can I just say one thing?
31:10Sure.
31:11Speaking of someone whose relationship has ended,
31:15you and Maren are so lucky to have each other.
31:19Just be patient.
31:21It'll work out.
31:24Thanks.
31:25I mean, unless one of you loses your memory or something,
31:29then all bets are off.
31:39National.
31:41International.
31:43Sports.
31:44Technology.
31:45Does anyone really read about technology?
31:47Styles.
31:52Vows.
31:53Here it is.
31:53We in?
31:55I'm looking.
31:56I'm looking.
31:58We had to make it.
32:01Where are we?
32:05I guess you're right.
32:06They don't put garbage men in the New York Times.
32:08Well, that's really ridiculous.
32:13Who are you calling?
32:14My friend at the Times.
32:18Okay, Kate, what happened?
32:19Yes, I know we didn't get in.
32:23Could you please give the editor of the Vows section a message?
32:27Tell him or her that he or she has some nerve turning us down
32:31because my husband is a garbage man.
32:32He makes an honorable living,
32:34and I would much rather be married to him than anyone else in your...
32:36Oh.
32:40Oh.
32:40Okay.
32:42Thanks, Kate.
32:44And let me reiterate
32:46how much I am looking forward to reading your niece's manchu script.
32:54It wasn't you.
32:55It was me.
32:57It seems they've got three literary editors getting married this week alone.
33:02I didn't make the cut.
33:10I am sure you are a way better editor than any of those other women.
33:19Heard you're out here.
33:21Hey.
33:22Wanted to make sure you didn't jump.
33:24In the mood for a study break?
33:26Definitely.
33:28Thanks.
33:31How's it going?
33:31Oh, the Serenity essay?
33:34I've just started it.
33:35My life has been far from serene the last couple of days.
33:38I wasn't talking about the essay.
33:39I was talking about living with Jack.
33:42Oh, right.
33:42That.
33:43Yeah, not so great.
33:45You gotta fight.
33:46Growing pains.
33:47I'm scared it's more than that.
33:50Maybe we made a mistake moving so fast.
33:52Hey, Eric and I have only known each other for four months.
33:54We haven't even gone through a winter together.
33:56I don't even know what he looks like in a hat.
33:58Exactly.
33:58But I'm excited to find out.
33:59Yeah, but you and Eric dated.
34:05With me and Jack, it's just been a series of stops and starts.
34:08What if we're not compatible?
34:10You and Jack are compatible.
34:11Really?
34:11So I'm beginning to see a whole bunch of ways that we're not.
34:15That's what the beginning is about.
34:17Noticing differences.
34:18Then you compromise.
34:19Well, what if it's me, though?
34:21What do you mean?
34:21Maybe I'm one of those people who's just not good at the whole living together thing.
34:25Maybe I'm better from a distance.
34:28I can't see all my flaws.
34:29Can I just say one thing?
34:31Sure.
34:32You're scared, so you're looking for reasons to bail instead of looking for reasons to stay.
34:38Jack does look cute in hats.
34:40There you go.
34:41It's a very good reason to stay.
34:43I gotta get back to the chieftain.
34:46And on my mother's side, they also had great beauty wailing to their old age.
34:58You know what their secret was?
35:00Blackstrap molasses?
35:01No, I told you.
35:02That's for shiny hair.
35:04All right.
35:05Hey, you're back.
35:07So listen, I gotta get up in the air again.
35:09Can I get another lesson tomorrow?
35:11Oh, I'm sorry.
35:12I just don't think that's a good idea.
35:13What?
35:15Why?
35:15Uh, it's too dangerous.
35:19Well, but...
35:19Hey, I'm sorry, Patrick.
35:21My decision is final.
35:23My mother talked to you, didn't she?
35:25No, of course not.
35:26You know, I may have lost my memory, but I wasn't born yesterday.
35:31Thanks for the beauty secrets, my-my.
35:42Hey, you're back.
35:43Unfortunately, now is not a good time for me to talk because my computer fell in the water.
35:47What?
35:47And all of my work is probably lost.
35:49And as we established, I am not a backer-upper.
35:52So feel free to rub it in.
35:54If you are a rubber-inner, which I don't know if you are or not, because we move so fast.
35:58Put on your rope.
36:01Enjoy your computer.
36:03Just put on your rope.
36:05Trust me.
36:05I'm ovulating.
36:26Drop your pants.
36:36You're sure you want to do this?
36:38Yeah.
36:39I saw some guy do it on this adventure show.
36:40It looked amazing.
36:41But it's so dangerous.
36:43Carpe diem, Annie.
36:44I'm going to get up in the air again.
36:45Feel the thrill.
36:46And tie the rope.
36:55Woo-hoo!
36:58Woo!
36:59It's incredible!
37:01Woo-hoo!
37:02Woo!
37:03Woo!
37:04Holy mojoys!
37:06Hey!
37:07Woo!
37:08Woo!
37:08Woo!
37:08Woo!
37:09Woo!
37:09Woo!
37:10Woo!
37:10Woo!
37:11Woo!
37:11Woo!
37:12Woo!
37:13Woo!
37:13Woo!
37:14Woo!
37:14Woo!
37:15Woo!
37:15Woo!
37:16Woo!
37:16Woo!
37:17Woo!
37:17Woo!
37:17Woo!
37:18Woo!
37:18Woo!
37:18Woo!
37:19Woo!
37:22Woo!
37:22Woo!
37:22Woo!
37:24Woo!
37:24Woo!
37:24Woo!
37:25Woo!
37:26Woo!
37:26Woo!
37:26Woo!
37:27Woo!
37:28Woo!
37:29How is it?
37:30Ugh.
37:30There's a reason I try to avoid friends, nieces, manuscripts.
37:36I pulled a few strings of my own.
37:42Page 10.
37:43Woo!
37:44Woo!
37:45Woo!
37:46Woo!
37:46Woo!
37:46It's not exactly the New York Times, but...
37:48He was a strapping outdoorsman from Alamo, Alaska,
37:51and her idea of the wilderness was the outer boroughs.
37:55What did you...
37:55Go on, keep reading.
37:57I want to hear the rest of the story.
38:00But when Sam Soloway first laid eyes on Jane Burns,
38:05it quickly became clear that they could live anywhere
38:07as long as they lived together.
38:14Okay, you got it unscrewed?
38:16Come on next.
38:19Oh, hey, Mac, I call you back. I'm five.
38:25You look cute, man.
38:27Thanks. What are you doing?
38:29A friend of mine's a computer guy.
38:31We can salvage your hard drive.
38:33After we dry it out, we're going to bring it to the office,
38:35link it to my desktop, and retrieve your documents.
38:38So it can be fixed?
38:40Most things can be.
38:42I shouldn't have walked out.
38:49No, you shouldn't have.
38:52I don't blame you.
38:55I kind of lost it.
38:58Work out the kinks?
38:59Most things can be fixed.
39:10Why don't you get yourself a cup of tea?
39:13I got to call this guy back.
39:14Hey, Matt.
39:35Sorry about that.
39:36So, I got it unscrewed.
39:38What next?
39:40Yeah, camera off.
39:42Okay, so that's the mute, I think.
39:44Whoa, gigabytes.
39:51I think a lot's at home.
39:51Okay.
39:59Bye.
40:03Bye.
40:07Bye.
40:09Bye.
40:10Bye.
40:10Bye.
40:11Bye.
40:11Bye.
40:13Holy crow.
40:25Moving to Elmo was one of those seize the day moments for me.
40:33The thing is, while Alaska is beautiful to look at,
40:38I don't spend my days looking.
40:40I spend my days living.
40:42Like Life Anywhere, in Elmo, there is fighting.
40:49And there is making up.
40:54There is joy.
41:02Woo-hoo!
41:03And there is devastation.
41:15And once in a while, amidst all that,
41:18there will be brief flashes where everything just feels right.
41:22Serenity.
41:23Kind of like a vacation.
41:24And while it's nice to go away,
41:26away wouldn't be nearly as nice if you couldn't come home.
41:33Come on.
41:33Come on.
41:34And then...
41:35And then...
41:35And can I just go away,
41:36and wait for somebody to come.
41:36Make it not.
41:40Have a good night.
41:44I hope he wants to win.
41:53Let's go.
