[GEORGE] HOW WE CHOOSE TO PHYSICALLY MOVE THROUGH LIFE
IS MAYBE AS IMPORTANT AS WHERE WE GO.
WHOEVER FIRST SAID,
"IT'S THE JOURNEY, NOT THE DESTINATION,"
NEVER TOOK THE BUS.
ONE MEANING OF THE WORD "COMMUTE"
IS TO SHORTEN A PRISON SENTENCE.
COMMUTING IS A PRISON SENTENCE.
YOUR FREEDOMS ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY STRIPPED AWAY.
YOUR FREEDOM OF SPACE.
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION.
FREEDOM OF SMELL.
IT'D BE ENOUGH TO KILL ME IF I WEREN'T ALREADY DEAD.
"WHERE THE HEART IS, IN HONDURAS." FOUR.
CASA.
NICE WORK, PEANUT.
GEORGIA, ARE YOU WEARING A FRAGRANCE THIS MORNING?
IT'S ORANGE JUICE. I HATE THE BUS.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER.
I DON'T WANT TO BE EQUAL. FUCK EQUAL.
STEAL A CAR.
WHAT ABOUT A BICYCLE?
I ONCE HAD DOROTHY'S ORIGINAL BIKE
FROM THE WIZARD OF OZ.
I KNEW SOMEONE FROM THE PROPS DEPARTMENT.
DON'T YOU MEAN YOU BLEW SOMEONE IN THE PROP DEPARTMENT?
KNEW, BLEW, TOMATO, TOMAHTO.
ONCE BABY JUDY DIED,
I DIDN'T WANT TO RIDE IT ANYMORE,
SO I SOLD IT AT AN AUCTION.
SPEAKING OF DEATH...
LET'S GET TO WORK.
C. BOND. GWEN ISLE.
THAT'S, LIKE, A THREE-HOUR DRIVE.
PLUS A FERRY.
WHAT...
HANG ON, TWO SOULS? WHERE THE FUCK IS ROXY?
SHE'S NEEDED ELSEWHERE. JUST WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF, HUH?
THREE-HOUR DRIVE AND A FUCKING FERRY, MY ASS.
IF YOU'D LOOK, YOU'D SEE YOU GOT TWO POST-ITS.
THERE'S ONE ADDRESS.
OH. WELL, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
MURDER-SUICIDE? DOUBLE MURDER? WHAT?
THEY'RE THREE HOURS APART. THAT'S ALL I GOT.
GWEN ISLE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I'M GLAD YOU THINK SO. WHY DON'T WE SWAP?
NO TRADING. NO TRADING.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
WHAT ABOUT MINE? WHAT ABOUT HER?
I DON'T HAVE A POST-IT FOR YOU.
YOU'RE WAY TOO CONCERNED WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S SCHEDULES.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE YOUR TWO SOULS AND SHUT YOUR CAKE HOLE?
A BIKE'S A GOOD IDEA.
I HAD A BIKE ONCE, AND IT WAS RED AND COOL.
MOM, I CAN DO THIS. HANDS OFF.
OKAY.
I'M DOING IT... I'M DOING IT!
AND I'M NEVER COMING BACK!
NOW IT BELONGS TO MY LITTLE SISTER.
COULD YOU PICK UP SOME TATER TOTS TONIGHT FOR DINNER?
WILL WE BE SEEING YOU TONIGHT FOR DINNER?
I'LL LET YOU KNOW AS SOON AS I KNOW.
[J.D. BARKS]
J.D... WANT SOME TOAST?
HE DOESN'T WANT ANY TOAST, REGGIE.
HE WANTS BACON.
I DON'T KNOW HOW GREAT AN IDEA IT IS
TO FEED THE DOG AT THE TABLE.
HE NEEDS HIS OWN SNACKS, DON'T YOU, BUDDY?
HEY, BUDDY, HERE YOU GO.
HEY, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE A DOGGIE DOOR, HUH? 'CAUSE I BOUGHT YOU ONE.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME IN AND GO OUT AS YOU PLEASE?
I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN FOR YOU TONIGHT, SMOOCHIE.
SMOOCHIE? DAD, DON'T BE SUCH A TOOL.
REGGIE. REGGIE...
IT'S MORE THAN I MAKE IN TWO MONTHS.
WELL, PART-TIME, ENTRY LEVEL, BOTTOM RUNG.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
IF I WERE SOMEONE ELSE, INTRODUCE MYSELF.
YOU BEEN CHECKING THE JOB POSTINGS?
NO. OH.
I GUESS YOU'RE HEADING TOWARDS FULL-TIME HAPPY TIME.
[SCOFFS] NO.
OH.
WELL, I WAS GOING TO SAY,
I SAW A NEW POSTING FOR A GREAT GIG.
PAYS REALLY WELL.
GET YOU THAT BIKE IN A FEW WEEKS.
WHY WOULDN'T YOU TAKE THE JOB?
I JUST GOT HERE, SO...
THEY'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE
WITH SLIGHTLY MORE SENIORITY.
SOMEONE SLIGHTLY CUTER, I GUESS.
WAIT A MINUTE. UM...
CAN YOU SHOW ME THE WEB PAGE WITH THE POSTING?
SURE. I'M JOSH.
I'M NOT CERTAIN I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU, MILLIE.
YOU'VE ALREADY CONTACTED THE EMPLOYER?
I DIDN'T. UM, JOSH CALLED THEM.
WHO IS JOSH? NEVER MIND. WHAT DID THE EMPLOYER SAY?
YES.
YES, WHAT?
HE SAID YES. I'M HIRED.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
JOSH DID EVERYTHING.
DOES JOSH KNOW YOU'RE A VALUED EMPLOYEE OF HAPPY TIME?
THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU, DELORES, BUT...
I THOUGHT I'D JUST LOOK FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE...
LIVING WAGE-ISH.
LIKE, I WANT TO BUY A BIKE.
WELL, I WANT TO RIDE IN THE KENTUCKY DERBY,
BUT YOU DON'T SEE ME IN RACING SILKS, DO YOU?
WELL, WHEN DO THEY WANT YOU TO BEGIN?
TOMORROW. TOMORROW?
INTERESTING.
WELL, G-F-Y.
GOOD FOR YOU.
LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT A GOING-AWAY PARTY TO ORGANIZE.
EXCUSE ME.
G-F-M. GOOD FOR ME.
HERE'S THE DEAL.
HE MAY BE THE ONE WHO BOUGHT THIS DOOR,
BUT I'M THE ONE WHO'S PUTTING IT IN.
I'M BETTING YOU'RE A SMART ENOUGH DOG
TO FIGURE THAT OUT, J.D.
AM I RIGHT? [BARKS]
DON'T SAY I NEVER GAVE YOU ANYTHING.
HEY, IT WORKS.
[BARKING RECEDING]
J.D.?
J.D.!
[SIGHS]
FUCK ME.
[DAISY]: HELLO?
C. FREEDMAN?
IT'S CHRIS.
WELL, GOOD MORNING, CHRIS.
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
TOOK THE STAIRS, SILLY.
AND YOU ARE?
WELL, I'M DAISY. DAISY ADAIR.
I'M A PATRON OF THE ARTS.
OH. THAT'S TOO BAD.
NOW, HOW ON EARTH COULD MEETING ME BE BAD?
BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES PATRONS
GENERALLY ONLY WANT TO TALK
ABOUT HOW MUCH A PAINTING IS WORTH,
RATHER THAN WHAT THEY SEE, WHAT THEY FEEL.
WOULDN'T ONE CONSIDER BOTH?
ART AND VALUE?
SOUNDS REASONABLE ENOUGH.
NOTHING ABOUT PAINTING IS REASONABLE.
AH.
HOW MUCH?
"HOW MUCH?"
AS IN, HOW MUCH DID I WANT TO PAINT THAT?
HOW MUCH PAIN WAS I IN WHEN I WAS DOING IT?
HOW MUCH JOY WHEN I WAS DONE?
IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?
YEAH. HOW MUCH?
IT'S NOT FOR SALE.
WELL, DOESN'T YOUR GALLERY SET A PRICE?
I DON'T HAVE A GALLERY.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
YOUR WORK IS...
IT'S PRETTY GOOD. I MEAN, IT COULD SELL.
THAT'S NOT WHY I DO IT. [CLEARS THROAT]
BESIDES, THE GRUESOME TRUTH IS NOTHING REALLY SELLS
UNTIL AFTER THE ARTIST... KICKS IT.
HUH.
I DON'T MEAN TO BE RUDE,
BUT I NEED TO GET BACK TO WORK.
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T SELL YOU ANYTHING.
THESE THINGS HAVE A WAY OF SORTING THEMSELVES OUT.
[GAGGING]
[THUMP] [SIGHS]
I LIKE THAT PAINTING.
SUDDENLY, THIS WAS IT, MOVING DAY,
AND EVERYONE SEEMED TO KNOW.
CAKE REQUEST?
YES, THAT THERE BE NO CAKE.
IF YOU CAN MAKE A GIANT SANDWICH,
WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE A GIANT QUESADILLA?
AND GIVE ME SOME PRICES ON RENTING A BURRO.
STEPHANIE, COULD YOU PASS OUT THE PARTY MEMO?
WELL, TALK TO HERNANDO AND GET BACK TO ME, PRONTO.
TELL HIM IT'S DELORES FROM HAPPY TIME,
AND I WILL EAT HIS BALLS FOR BREAKFAST IF HE DISAPPOINTS ME.
OH, PHIL, PICK UP THE CAKE AT 4:00
AND I'LL REIMBURSE YOU FROM PETTY CASH.
MARGE, HERE'S THE KEY TO THE STOREROOM.
PINATA ON THE THIRD SHELF.
I DON'T WANT A PARTY.
BUT MILLIE, YOU'RE GOING AWAY.
THAT MERITS A GOING-AWAY PARTY.
IT'S JUST REALLY UNNECESSARY.
YOU'RE A MEMBER OF THE HAPPY TIME FAMILY.
HAPPY TIME HAS BEEN YOUR HOME.
[CHUCKLES]
I DON'T KNOW THAT I'D ACTUALLY CALL IT HOME...
OBVIOUSLY, YOU DON'T.
[CHUCKLES] NOT ANYMORE...
AND WE'LL ALL MISS YOU.
I HADN'T BEEN ABLE TO CALL HAPPY TIME "HOME,"
BUT OTHER PEOPLE DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE THAT PROBLEM.
I GUESS MAKING WORK LIKE HOME
MADE WORK FEEL A LITTLE LESS LIKE WORK.
HI.
HEY.
[CLATTER]
THIS IS FOR YOUR STUFF.
THANKS.
WE'RE REALLY GOING TO MISS YOU AROUND HERE.
THANKS.
I'M STEPHANIE.
MILLIE.
I'M NOT IMAGINING THIS.
WE'VE BEEN HERE ALREADY.
I'M AWARE OF THAT.
WE SHOULD CIRCLE AROUND ONE MORE TIME
IN CASE HE DECIDES TO COME HOME ON HIS OWN.
HOW'D HE GET OUT?
THE HOLE IN THE FENCE IN THE BACKYARD.
SO FUCKING STUPID.
MOM... MOM! WHAT?
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.
J.D.!
HI.
I'M LOOKING FOR A C. BOND.
I'M CAREY BOND.
I WAS WONDERING
IF THIS HOUSEHOLD WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN A SURVEY.
LET ME CHECK.
HENRY? HONEY?
WOULD THIS HOUSEHOLD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN A SURVEY TODAY?
IS HE CUTE?
WELL, IT'S NOT BAD.
[HENRY]: IS HE CLEAN?
IT'S ENGLISH.
[HENRY]: OH, WELL, ASK HIM IF HE WANTS A COSMO.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
NOT TODAY, SIR.
OKAY, HERE IT COMES.
EVERYONE SNEAKS AWAY TO RECEPTION
AND YOU PRETEND YOU DON'T NOTICE,
AND THEN THEY CALL YOU WITH A CHEESY EXCUSE.
MILLIE, CAN YOU COME TO RECEPTION TO SIGN FOR A PACKAGE, PLEASE?
IT'S EXACTLY HOW THEY DID IT FOR INDIRA'S BIRTHDAY.
[ALL]: SURPRISE!
♪ FOR SHE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW ♪
THE SONG WILL END... EVENTUALLY.
JUST KEEP SMILING.
♪ WHICH NOBODY CAN DENY ♪
BLOW.
I THINK I'M GOING TO MISS YOU THE MOST.
[PHIL]: HAS ANYBODY SEEN THE BURRO?
EXCUSE ME? EXCUSE ME?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
YOU'RE DONE HERE, HANDSOME.
NOW, SKEDADDLE. GO. SHOO.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
I HAVE A STRAGGLER.
WHAT DO YOU TWO
DESCRIBE YOUR TELEVISION VIEWING HABITS AS?
OH, I'LL TAKE THAT ONE.
MOSTLY, WE'RE IN THE BEDROOM.
SOMETIMES WE'RE ON THE SOFA.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE FIGHT WE HAD
TO CONVINCE THIS ONE TO PUT A TV IN THE BEDROOM.
HE IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE WATCH.
JESUS, HENRY, IT'S EMBARRASSING.
OH. SORRY.
WHAT DO YOU TWO WATCH, THEN?
TRADING SPACES, SPORTS CENTER...
PETER JENNINGS. PETER JENNINGS.
I THINK HE MIGHT BE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE, AND NOT ON YOUR TEAM.
IN MY TIME,
I BET I COULD HAVE CONVINCED HIM.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, CAREY?
I THINK FEWER ONIONS IN THERE,
OR YOU'RE GOING TO SCREW IT UP.
WHICH ONE OF YOU IS THE WOMAN?
WHAT? OH, JESUS.
WE'RE LIFE-LONG COMPANIONS.
WE'RE TWO GAY MEN.
ONE OF US FOR JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER
THAN THE OTHER. I SCREWED ONE WOMAN WHEN I WAS 19,
AND I HAVEN'T HEARD THE END OF IT FOR 30 YEARS.
HOW DID YOU LIKE THAT, THEN? FUCKING A WOMAN?
ABOUT AS MUCH AS SHE LIKED FUCKING ME, I SUPPOSE.
GOOD ANSWER.
MMM. NICE.
SO... IS THIS SURVEY OVER?
ARE WE FINISHED?
YEAH, JUST ABOUT.
NO, NO, NO, NO.
[SIGHS] WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
HE'S OVER THERE. I SEE HIM, DAISY. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
I THINK HE'S GOT A CRUSH ON ME.
C. FREEDMAN, I TAKE IT. IT'S CHRIS.
LISTEN, I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE'S AN APPEALING GIRL.
NOT MY TYPE... NONETHELESS,
YOU, MY FRIEND, ARE SUPPOSED TO MOVE ON.
SHE TOOK MY PAINTING.
IT'S GOOD.
IS THAT THE HOUSE YOU GREW UP IN?
KIND OF A SELF-PORTRAIT, HUH?
I DON'T WANT HER TO HAVE IT.
CHRIS, NOW FORGIVE MY BLUNTNESS,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO NEED THE PAINTING WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
IT NEEDS TO HANG IN A PLACE WITH THE RIGHT LIGHT.
SHE'S JUST GOING TO SELL IT.
I CAN'T COMPEL HER. I CAN ONLY SUGGEST.
WELL, I'M NOT MOVING ON.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
NOT UNTIL SHE GIVES IT BACK.
[SIGHS]
I TOLD YOU, RUBE, I CAN'T BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERY SOUL WHO WANTS A PIECE OF ME.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
YOU THINK IT'S A GAME?
THAT EVERY LIFE YOU STROLL THROUGH
IS A GRAB BAG FOR YOURSELF?
NO. I HARDLY THINK...
YOU HARDLY THINK, DAISY, AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
WE HAVE WORK TO DO.
YOU, YOU'RE AN ACQUISITIVE ONE,
AND WHEN YOUR ACQUISITIVENESS INTERFERES WITH MY SCHEDULE,
I START TO COME UNDONE.
IT'S NOT MY FAULT HE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME.
PRINCESS, HE'S GOT FEELINGS, BUT THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU.
THAT'S ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT.
RUBE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT HIM?
YOUR STRAGGLER. YOUR PROBLEM.
[SCOFFS] YUCK.
J.D.!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, REG?
DRAWING.
IS THAT A PICTURE OF J.D.?
YES.
WELL, THAT LOOKS GREAT.
LET'S PUT IT UP ON THE WALL RIGHT NOW.
IT'S NOT DONE.
THAT WAS DELICIOUS. THANK YOU.
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT? BEEF STEW.
DO YOU MIND IF I...
EXCEPT THERE'S NO BEEF IN IT.
BECAUSE OF HENRY'S CHOLESTEROL.
245.
IT'S BORDERLINE HIGH.
IT'S A HEART ATTACK WAITING TO HAPPEN.
PROBABLY NOT.
WHY IS IT THAT QUEERS...
YOU, UH, HOMOSEXUAL PEOPLE
HAVE ALWAYS GOT NICE THINGS?
I, UH... I BELIEVE IT'S CALLED TASTE.
HENRY AND I LIKE TO TRAVEL. TO THE ORIENT, MOSTLY.
WE'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH JAPAN.
IT'S JUST THE ONLY THING I WISHED WE HAD HERE.
A BEAUTIFUL JAPANESE GARDEN.
WE LIKE TO VISIT GARDENS,
AND DON'T SAY ANYTHING STUPID ABOUT GAY MEN GARDENING.
A JAPANESE GARDEN WOULD BE NICE,
BUT THIS IS OUR HOME. WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE.
YOU TWO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOME TOGETHER.
YES, WE DO.
THANK YOU FOR MY MEAL.
[CAREY]: YOU'RE WELCOME.
I HAVE TO BRUSH MY TEETH.
THE MAN HAS A CHOLESTEROL LEVEL OF 245
AND HE EATS CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS FOR BREAKFAST,
AND THE ONLY THING HE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT IS TARTAR BUILD-UP.
AND THAT IS NOT VERY NICE.
HENRY CAN BE A LITTLE SENSITIVE SOMETIMES.
YEAH, WE ALL CAN.
[GROANING]
CAREY? HONEY, PUT THE TEA ON.
[REGGIE]: J.D.!
THIS IS A LOST CAUSE.
WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD SPLIT UP.
OH, THAT'S GREAT. THAT'S GREAT.
YOU GO, BUT YOU'D BETTER FIND YOURSELF ONE HELL OF A LAWYER.
SPLIT UP TO FIND THE DOG.
OH.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
[MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING]
UH, NO. THANK YOU.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE TAB YOU PUT ON YOUR TONGUE.
YOU KNOW, I FEEL MY CURRENT REALITY IS ALTERED ENOUGH.
I DID ONE.
G-F-Y.
LET'S LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER TODAY, OKAY?
OKAY.
I WAS STARTING TO GET THE FEELING FROM DELORES
THAT, EMOTIONALLY, AT LEAST,
THERE WERE EASIER WAYS FOR ME TO GET A NEW BIKE.
SWEETIE, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
BUT HERE'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
I'M GOING TO HANG ON TO THE PAINTING FOR A FEW MONTHS,
FIND A BUYER, THEN I'M GOING TO COLLECT A BUNDLE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.
YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ART.
YOU'RE A DAY TRADER SELLING SHORT.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO CARE ABOUT ART?
PARDON ME. I AM AN ACTRESS.
GO! GO! GO! GO GO! GO! GO!
THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
HE JUST SLIPPED ON THE FLOOR?
YEAH.
YOU CAN, UH...
YOU CAN SEE WHERE HE SKIDDED THERE.
THIS IS JUST AS DANGEROUS AS A BATHROOM,
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DIE IN THE KITCHEN.
DIE?
ARE YOU SURE HE'S DEAD?
HOW DO YOU KNOW HE'S DEAD?
CAN YOU FEEL A PULSE, SIR?
UH...
THEN HE'S DEAD, YEAH?
WHAT DO I DO?
YOU CAN CALL THE POLICE.
YOU CAN CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.
YOU COULD PHONE THE HOSPITAL
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME HE'S DEAD.
I MEAN, WHAT DO I DO?
I MEAN, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
TELL HIM NOT TO DO ANYTHING.
I KNOW WHAT THIS MAN IS GOING TO DO.
YOU HAVE HIM CALL OUR FRIEND, LINDA.
THIS MAN CANNOT BE LEFT ALONE.
THANK YOU, MASON.
YOU CAN GO NOW.
ACTUALLY, I CAN'T LEAVE.
NOT JUST YET.
WHO ARE YOU?
BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT HERE ABOUT ANY SURVEY, ARE YOU?
NO...
AND I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU,
AND I DIDN'T HURT YOUR FRIEND. I PROMISE, HE SLIPPED.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
THERE'S NO REASON TO BE AFRAID OF ME.
I WILL NOT HARM YOU.
WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
[KETTLE WHISTLES]
YOU MUST'VE BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT HERE.
UH, NO.
COME ON. I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL THIS.
THIS IS THE WORK OF DELORES.
WELL, SHE MUST REALLY CARE FOR YOU
TO SEND YOU OFF LIKE THIS.
PLEASE. DELORES CARES ABOUT HAPPY TIME.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE BURRO?
I THINK HE'S...
I WAS TALKING TO JOSH.
I HAVEN'T SEEN THE BURRO.
THANKS.
SHE HATES ME.
ACTUALLY, I THINK IT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE.
HEY, WHERE IS THE BURRO?
I WAS IN BANANA REPUBLIC, REARRANGING MEN'S JEANS...
SOME FUCKWIT ORGANIZED THEM ACCORDING TO INSEAM...
AND THIS GENTLEMAN WALKS UP AND ASKS ME FOR HELP.
HE THOUGHT I WORKED THERE.
ANYWAY, HIS NAME'S TITO AND HE'S A SAILOR.
HE SERVED IN THE GULF...
OF MEXICO.
COAST GUARD OFF BILOXI.
AREN'T YOU WORRIED HE HAS A GAL IN EVERY PORT?
OR THAT HE'S ONE OF THE JACKSON FIVE?
I DON'T GET WHAT YOU MEAN, MILLIE.
DELORES, I WAS WONDERING IF YOU AND I...
I MEAN, YOU SEEM A LITTLE UPSET.
I THINK STEPHANIE IS MISSING.
WHO'S LOOKING OUT FOR STEPHANIE?
OH, COME ON. SOMEONE AGREED
TO LOOK OUT FOR STEPHANIE TONIGHT.
THAT WOULD BE ME.
HEY, BUDDY. J.D.!
J.D.?
J.D...
GODDAMN DOG.
J.D.!
IT TURNS OUT THAT CERTAIN REMARKS,
LIKE, "LET'S LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER,"
WHICH SEEMED CASUAL AND MEANINGLESS,
HAD A SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE HERE AT HAPPY TIME.
I CAN'T FIND IT... I CAN'T FIND IT...
STEPHANIE?
I CAN'T... I CAN'T FIND IT.
YOU CAN'T FIND WHAT?
BLUE. RED'S TAKEN IT OVER.
RED GOT BLUE?
RED'S BEEN ATTACKING ALL THE COLORS.
WE'VE GOT TO STOP IT.
WE DO? YELLOW IS NEXT.
IT DOESN'T STAND A CHANCE.
POOR YELLOW.
WHY DON'T WE GO FOR A WALK?
NO.
NO WALKING.
I'M GOING TO CALL THE COLOR POLICE.
HELLO?
I'D LIKE TO REPORT A COLOR CRIME IN PROGRESS.
I'M ON HOLD.
DID YOU CHECK THE ALLEY BEHIND OCTAVIA?
NO. I DIDN'T.
I'LL GO CHECK OVER THERE.
YOU DO THAT.
YOU CANNOT LET HIM DO THIS.
IT'S NOT MY JOB.
YOU CANNOT LET HIM GO THROUGH WITH THIS.
TRUTH IS, CAREY, WHAT I CANNOT DO IS STOP HIM.
OH, MY GOD.
I TOLD HIM THAT WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SUIT OF HIS.
YOU HAVE TO STOP HIM. NO.
PLEASE STOP HIM.
HENRY... WHAT?
THE WHOLE BUSINESS WITH THE KNIFE.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO RETHINK THAT.
WHY WOULD I RETHINK THIS?
30 YEARS WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL MAN,
AND I AM NOT
GETTING INTO THAT BED TONIGHT WITHOUT HIM,
AND I AM NOT WAKING UP TOMORROW MORNING WITHOUT HIM.
I WON'T. I CAN'T.
WE WERE GOING TO GO TO KYOTO IN THE FALL.
THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS THERE,
AND I WON'T GO WITHOUT CAREY.
TELL HIM TO TAKE THE PILLS IN MY MEDICINE CABINET.
THE ONES ON THE RIGHT.
HENRY?
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT TAKING PILLS INSTEAD?
BECAUSE IT'S A LOT LESS... MESSY,
AND A BIT MORE...
PEACEFUL...
AND THAT'S A REALLY LOVELY SUIT YOU'RE WEARING.
IT IS CAREY'S FAVORITE. YEAH.
PILLS?
THE ONES ON THE RIGHT.
THE ONES ON THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.
[FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
THANK YOU.
ENJOY THE WATCH.
I...
NO, NO, NO.
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE IT.
NOW, CAN WE GET ME OFF THE FLOOR?
DO YOU MIND?
[APPLAUSE]
I THOUGHT YOU AND GEORGE
COULD USE A BIT MORE SPACE.
NICE WATCH. THANK YOU.
IT WAS A GIFT.
ARE YOU GAY?
NO. NO!
IT'S VERY SWEET.
MILLIE, WHEN ONE OF THE HAPPY TIME FAMILY MEMBERS
DECIDES TO UP AND LEAVE...
WELL, WE ALL PITCH IN.
OH, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE.
IT'S A BICYCLE BELL. JOSH SEEMED TO THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE.
SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH! SPEECH!
NO, NO, BUT THANK YOU.
WELL, THEN I'LL MAKE ONE.
MILLIE HAS BEEN WITH US LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE HER MARK...
AND THOUGH HAPPY TIME WILL NO LONGER BE HER OFFICE HOME...
WE'LL THINK OF HER FONDLY, AND WISH HER...
[CHOKES UP]
SO THIS IS YOUR NEW HOUSE?
YES, AND I'VE HAD A VERY LONG DAY,
AND I REALLY NEED TO GET MY BEAUTY SLEEP.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANG A PAINTING, DO YOU?
YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE THE LIGHT IS.
DAISY, DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I WORKED ON THAT PAINTING?
TWO YEARS. THE DAY I FINISHED IT, I SAT DOWN AND CRIED,
BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT I'D FINALLY MADE SOMETHING
OUTSIDE OF MYSELF.
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, WOULD YOU?
THIS IS THE ROOM. THIS IS THE BEST ROOM.
THAT WINDOW FACES SOUTH. IT CATCHES THE LIGHT.
IF YOU DON'T MIND MY SAYING,
YOU COULD USE MORE LIGHT.
WELL, THAT'S JUST CRAZY.
LOOK AT ME. I'M AS LIGHT AS A FEATHER.
NO. THERE'S MORE...
BUT YOU HAVE TO TRY HARDER.
WAIT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO HAVE IT.
I JUST FIGURED IT OUT.
I PAINTED IT FOR YOU.
I WAS EXHAUSTED,
BUT FOR SOME REASON, I COULDN'T GO STRAIGHT HOME.
MAYBE I COULDN'T HANDLE DAISY.
MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE THE WAFFLE HAUS
FELT MORE LIKE HOME THAN ANY OTHER.
COFFEE, HON?
WHAT TIME IS IT?
6:45.
MORNING?
YEAH, MORNING.
I'VE GOT TO GO.
IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE...
[COUGHING]
SORT OF.
I GUESS I WAS MOVING ON.
ANOTHER STEP.
A NEW EXPERIENCE.
HI.
I'M MILLIE. THE NEW HIRE.
OH.
[BEEPS]
I'D BE HAPPY TO READ THEM. UM...
MAYBE WE COULD TALK ABOUT WHAT MY JOB ENTAILS?
[TYPING]
[BEEPS]
SO THIS WAS MY NEW HOME.
WELL... NICE AND QUIET. NO ONE TO BUG ME...
AND I CAN SEE HE SHARES MY OPINION OF "OFFICE STUFF."
[BEEPS]
I-E.
[SIGHS]
[BEEPS]
SO THIS WAS MY NEW EXPERIENCE.
I CAN'T HELP THINKING
THAT THERE'S A QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUE HERE,
OR MAYBE AN ABSENCE OF LIFE ISSUE.
[BEEPS]
EITHER WAY, THIS DOESN'T FEEL LIKE,
I DON'T KNOW... HOME.
JESUS.
[TYPING]
[BEEPS]
LUNCH BREAK FROM THE DAY JOB, PEANUT?
THERE'S NO JOB.
NO JOB, NO MONEY, NO BIKE.
TRY SOMETHING NEW,
GET FUCKED. RINSE, REPEAT.
I LOVE FLEA MARKETS.
I ONCE FOUND A VINTAGE FENDER. IT WAS FOUR BUCKS.
THE GUY HAD NO IDEA WHAT HE WAS SITTING ON.
YOU KNOW THE BEST THING ABOUT FLEA MARKETS?
YOU'VE GOT TO GET UP EARLY.
YOU SLEEP LATE, NOTHING THERE BUT JUNK.
WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?
I LOVE TO GET UP EARLY.
WHAT'S THAT OVER THERE?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
IT'S YOURS.
HERE.
OH, NO. NO. I KNOW I JUST TOOK A BREAK,
BUT I'M REALLY NOT IN THE MOOD TO TAKE A SOUL.
GEORGE...
IT'S NOT AN ASSIGNMENT. IT'S YOUR NEW ADDRESS.
DAISY ASKED ME TO GIVE IT TO YOU.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
OH.
[DOOR CLOSES]
WELL, GOOD MORNING.
HI.
THIS IS MASON'S PLACE.
HE TRADED WITH US.
WHY? I DON'T KNOW.
HE JUST SEEMED ALL SWEET.
IS HE ON DRUGS? YEAH, NORMALLY, I WOULD SAY YES,
BUT HE JUST SAID IF WE'RE LIVING TOGETHER,
IT WOULD BE NICE FOR US
TO HAVE A NICER PLACE.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
YOU SEEM...
SWEET.
YOUR ROOM'S UPSTAIRS.
PROBABLY A COAL CELLAR.
WHERE'S YOUR ROOM?
IT'S IN THE BACK.
IT HAS A NICE WINDOW, BUT YOURS IS BIGGER.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT, BUT YOU CAN CHOOSE.
GOD, SHE'S A GOOD ACTRESS.
I'LL TAKE THE BIG ONE.
THEN WE'RE SET.
UH, WHERE'S MY...
DON'T WORRY. YOUR FROG'S HERE. YOUR FROG'S HOME...
AND SO ARE YOU, HONEY.
TRAVELING ALONE HOLDS A CERTAIN MAGIC,
A FEELING YOU DON'T GET WHEN YOU'RE FORCED TO RIDE WITH THE HERD.
[DOG BARKS]
J.D.!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
THEN AGAIN,
MAYBE THE HERD HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER,
SOMETHING I HADN'T QUITE FIGURED OUT YET.
ALL RIGHT, NAME THE FIVE GREAT LAKES.
OKAY? MICHIGAN, ONTARIO...
RIGHT? SUPERIOR...
WELL, YOUR DAD'S GOOD AT THIS.
HONEY, WHAT ARE THE OTHER ONES?
I REALLY HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL. I'M LATE. MICHIGAN.
SHE SAID THAT ONE ALREADY.
MOM, J.D.!
HI...
WOW.
HEY, BUDDY. I WAS SO WORRIED, BUDDY.
IT WAS STUPID TO PUT IN THAT DOGGIE DOOR
BEFORE I FIXED THE FENCE, HUH?
SO STUPID. DAD...
WHAT?
NEVER MIND.
TOMORROW MORNING, I'LL GO TO HAPPY TIME,
TAIL BETWEEN MY LEGS,
AND ASK DELORES FOR MY OLD JOB.
MAYBE DOGS ALWAYS DO COME BACK HOME.
MAYBE, WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT HOME LOOKS LIKE,
OR WHERE HOME MIGHT BE,
THERE'S A MYSTERIOUS DRAW.
MAYBE THE POINT OF CONTINUING TO MOVE THROUGH LIFE,
AND DEATH, IS TO FIND IT.
