What?
- Dad? - Dad!
All right, you're all mic'd up there and ready to go.
I can't believe I'm getting your voicemail again.
This is it, Scottie. Dad only has a few weeks left.
When are you flying in? Just call me back.
All right cliff, magic time!
If I was smart, I'd fire him. Really?
Yeah.
- Hey Joe. - Good luck!
Can we get last looks?
Good to see you again. Quiet please!
All right, let's, uh, talk about Kelly.
You saw her tape, right? She saw yours.
I gotta be honest, you know,
I can already sense this chemistry between the two of you. Do you?
Uh well, sh-she's beautiful. What, what else is there to say?
I mean she's, she's an all-American girl.
Oh come on, Scottie, give me more. What did you think?
Did you think she was marriage material? Princess material?
- Oh, uh, y-you want me to sell it? Scottie, I just want you.
There's no doubt about it. Kelly is that girl next door,
who gives you that kind of look that makes you want to come down from your horse.
Kelly's my dream girl, but she's more than a dream.
It's really kind of exciting when you see her.
She's like one of the guys, you know?
This season of young bucks comes to an end Monday night.
She is a knockout!
Even darkness is not dark to Kelly.
She's blonde. I'm blond.
I've always kind of liked those brother sister couples a little bit.
This weekend, relive the magic of the last six weeks
with your favorite young buck episodes.
I'm a hugger. A really big hugger.
She's an all-American hugger fairy Princess.
Will this hugger fairy Princess find her true love?
Or, will her heart be broken?
I know my heart. It's so confused.
I feel like a little girl trapped in some Grimm fairytale.
This is awful.
It's all Monday night on the shocking finale of young bucks!
Mount up, America!
- 'Scuse me, y'all got ESPN or something? - Sure.
Anything for a young buck.
We don't get too many of those around here.
God dammit, foster!
You stir shit up wherever you go, Mr. reality?
So how long ago did you finish shooting that show? You look different.
Uh, a few weeks ago, I guess.
No way! Shit, so did you get the girl?
What'd you call her? The all-American hugger fairy Princess?
- I never actually said that. - You said it tonight.
You said it. I heard you.
You heard me say it tonight, but I never actually said it.
Yeah you did.
The producers do this thing where they "Frankenbite" dialogue.
They edit together two totally different conversations to make their own dialogue.
It's, I don't know.
If the camera's not on me when I'm talking, you can bet the dialogue...
Has been Frankensteined.
You got it.
Reality can be such a bitch.
You know what the magazines say about you?
They say that you're just a waiter.
Is this true, or you keepin' something from America?
Are you like secretly a prince undercover, or you just got some demons?
I mean what would honestly possess you to be on a show like that?
It's so degrading!
- It's like the lowest common denominator of humanity. Okay!
I mean most people think that reality stars are douchebags.
Wow.
Oh yeah! Fuck me, oh you, you young fucking buck. Scottie!
It's Scottie. You know what to do.
Hey Scottie, it's me again.
Um, I thought you were coming this morning with the truck.
You said you were coming.
Fitz is here. I'm here. We've got that meeting on Monday.
Fuck. Just call me back. Ah, shit!
Oh!
Well, timing is everything, huh?
I was gonna surprise you with this later.
- They do this in Hawaii. - We're not in Hawaii.
I know. I found all this stuff: Candles, Bambi over there, in your dad's shed.
- So, got a wee bit distracted today. - Kate:
Kate, the yardwork will get done. I promise.
I know, but you just said you were gonna do it today.
- We have so much to do. - It's gonna get done, okay?
Don't worry. It's not like the sale's gonna fall through.
Kate! What's wrong? He didn't call?
No. God, I just want to throttle the little shit and that slippery smile.
Katie, come on. I told you, don't worry. I can always get us another truck.
Calm down.
I'm not gonna calm down! Jesus Fitz, just let me be pissed at him!
Okay. Well, you can throw your piss around all you want,
but he's never gonna be who you want him to be.
I just need him to show up.
- Throw my piss around? - Yeah, don't do that. It's gross.
I don't know.
- Such a weirdo. - Well, picture it!
I know this is all a little much, but just entertain me, okay?
Speak to the universe; The milky way.
It'll make you feel better, and I'll clean it all up in the morning.
- Do it for Bambi! - Okay?
Um, I've got a cabin full of Randy Olson's stuff,
and a brother who's a smiling shithead, and
guess I'm just looking for some help.
Good luck.
I grew up close to the woods, so my dad would take me hunting,
but whatever, you know, I killed, I had to eat it.
First thing I ate was a squirrel.
It was pretty gross, but kinda tastes like chicken.
Pull!
That's what you say when you're shooting Clay pigeons,
not bales of hay!
Pretty good, pretty good.
Aww!
- That... - that was terrible!
Where were you aiming?
For your heart.
Oh, very sweet.
But, you still missed.
Well, you know there's something really special about Scottie.
There's definitely something going on in those blue eyes of his.
There's something spinning, or troubling, or just plain sexy.
He's a good hugger. And I'm hugger. A really big hugger.
Looking forward to hugging him again!
So, I know that you are a really bad shot, but that's about it.
What else do you want to know?
You could tell me about your family. You have a sister, right?
Yeah, yeah. I have an older sister. She's a consultant for big companies.
Tells them how to do their jobs.
What?
You've got to give me, like, a little bit more.
It could be harmless. It could be like your favorite childhood memory.
You wanna keep the buckle, don't you?
There was this cabin on a lake.
It wasn't much of a place, but, um,
but in the summer, my-my sister and I would swim for hours.
We'd take these long, running jumps off the dock.
Hundreds in a day.
I don't know.
Freed us from the grief of living with Randy and Sandy.
- Randy and Sandy? - My parents. I know.
Oh, and then my sister, she names the dog Brandy.
That's hilarious.
Not really. It's sad.
Are your parents still together?
No. My mom died when I was in junior high,
but uh my dad took over, and
he wasn't really cut out to be a single parent.
I think we just had it.
I think we just had a real moment.
Yeah.
Here.
Keep this, and it'll remind you of our real moment.
One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war.
Oh, you're going down.
- Come on Kelly! - Ow.
- No, oh, oh, one, two, three, pin! -
I came on this show because I have lost at love.
I want to have my happy ending.
The Scottie ending could be the happiest ending on earth.
I mean I know there's a lot of other guys,
and I have to get to know them,
but Scottie could be the one for me.
Look at me! I'm ridiculous!
She's not what I expected.
She was lovely.
You can't take it with you if they take it outta you.
- They're his, huh? - Yep.
So good to see you, even if you're 15 hours late.
I got caught up with post show stuff.
Just give me a hug before I rip your head off!
Ou know, they say a baby boomer dies every 39 seconds.
Did they all leave so much shit behind?
I like the labeling thing.
Oh, shh, is your dude here? Fritzy?
- Fitz. Yeah, he's s-sleeping. - Fitz.
I gave you the front room.
It's kind of a mess, but I thought you should have it.
You didn't have to do that.
Oh no, I know. Um, come here.
I want to show you something.
Look, that ridiculous Christmas
when mom threw the yule logs that dad brought us up here.
Wait, are you remembering this right?
God, you were this terrified little kid.
I was not a terrified kid.
You were so scared that Santa was gonna burn his bum coming down the chimney,
so dad went and buried little gifts out in the snow.
You don't remember that?
Maybe. Didn't he, like, ruin a few gifts in the process?
Yeah. God, he didn't really know what he was doing.
Hey, come on.
It's in times like these,
we just gotta remember the best selling two seat convertible in sports car history.
- The Miata! - Mazda Miata!
I should never have cosigned that loan. - You shouldn't of.
But how long was it until you, uh, you, you found out I was lying?
Oh, uh, which lie was that? That you weren't going to college,
or that you were using your tuition money to fund your half of the Miata?
Why I see that as one lie. It's like a combo lie.
Oh yeah, the old combo. Umm, I guess like six months.
Mmmm. What a great six months that was.
Dad was so proud of his college kid.
Yeah, cuz you were finally, kind of, a normal member of society.
Yeah.
Well, alright I gotta go to bed. Here, have the rest of this.
Scottie, wait! I haven't seen you since the funeral.
What happened? Did you get the girl?
I, um, can't really watch you on that I mean it's so weird.
I signed a contract. Can't talk about it.
What?
Since when do you give a shit about a contract?
- Let's just talk about it in the morning. - Oh my!
I can't believe you're not gonna tell me.
I'm hoping to get out of here a little earlier.
Don't we have that meeting with the lawyer on Monday?
Yeah.
Scottie, what is up with that hand?
Argh, th-the u-haul umm tailgate just kind of mangled it.
Well, did you get it looked at?
I'll put some ice on it.
Goodnight.
Um, okay. I will. Yep.
Umm, thanks doctor.
Kate!
Oh! Hey!
What are you doing?
Um, smoking.
Oh. Do you have to smoke?
I mean I can make you tea if you want to relax.
You were gone a long time. I thought you were just going out for boxes.
I wasn't gone that long.
Boxes.
- You forgot the boxes? - Ehh.
Stop looking for tea. I don't want any tea.
Do we have any Gatorade?
Since when do I have Gatorade?
Okay, would you please not smoke? Pretty please?
Now look, I have something to tell you. I have...
Uh, it's my team.
I asked them to wait quietly.
Sorry coach! Ball got away from us.
Anyway, I've hired them to help us out.
Right.
As you can see, I am in superior shape.
I jog every now and then. I do like 100 push-ups a day. I cross fit.
I'm looking at guys with like 11, 12 percent body fat.
That's like a woman's body fat!
Let'er hang, and soak up the sun!
I mean these guys are great in the pool, man.
No, which is good, cuz things are about to get heavy.
Like a rock.
We all get called in from the pool,
and we never had our pool time interrupted before.
We're all gathered in the living room,
and the news is dropped by the producers, and I'm like, Jesus man, this sucks!
I mean Scottie's dad is dead.
And Scottie doesn't even know it yet.
So, I do what I do in these situations.
It's dunkin daiquiri time!
All right guys, let's have a toast.
To us young bucks!
Ahh that's pretty good, you know?
Ooh, he's coming down the walk.
I mean, we were hanging out, and the next thing you know, we hear these footsteps
and it was like damn, dunkin's daiquiris aren't gonna be able to protect us now.
How are ya?
What's goin' on guys?
Aw, come on, you're not giving up already. Are ya?
Because of my line of work, I took the lead. This was gonna be tough.
Hey, I made some daiquiris!
- Have a daiquiri. - No, I'm good, man. Thanks!
- They're really tasty. - Yeah, just have a daiquiri.
What's going on?
Take the daiquiri.
I don't want the daiquiri man.
- Here. - N't want the...
What the f...?
I'm just trying to be nice.
Sorry to say, but your father's passed away.
If the guy hadn't just lost his father,
I wouldn't have been so pleasant.
I'm standing there in my best linen threads,
dripping in daiquiri, and the guy's losing it.
What a mess.
I guess he left quite the impression on Kelly today.
That's the rumor.
His whole story makes for quite the narrative now.
If he stays on the show, he could really leverage it.
That said, the guy just lost his father.
He's a mess. And he doesn't even know it yet.
I'll remind him.
You-you're a sneaky dude. You are sneaky. Got my eye on you!
Hey Rucke, you wanna bring me another Phillips head?
And a wrench too!
Just, just right there. Well, I don't know.
No, you're doing great. I'm not being critical.
Here you go, coach! Great. Thanks, bud! All right.
You know what though, I think we are gonna need to get a drill.
Yep, these screws are rusted in there.
Don't worry. The guys will get it down.
Yeah.
Hey look, are, are we cool?
I mean, I'm sorry to spring the team on you like that.
No, it's um, it's just a lot. Really.
I'll tell you what, you just focus on what you need to do in there,
- and we've got everything covered out here. Ow!
- Oh. With a little coaching, I guess.
Hey, can we talk tonight? Like, no point guards or intentions ceremonies?
Whatever you need!
Guys, you did good, but careful.
Really, Kate? Child labor?
Fitz brought them here to, well, to fix the landscaping.
After the inspection, we promised to do a bunch of stuff
- oh, uh pick up sticks? - Yeah.
Hey Scott! Good to see ya! Good to see you too, Fitz!
He's a hospital meditation guru, right?
Don't give me shit right now. He's a reflexologist.
Reflexologist.
- Hey, do you have another cigarette? - Yep.
I, um, couldn't find any. Your jacket pocket.
So, uh, where did the little dribblers come from?
Ha, little dribblers!
They are actually the hibbing middle school north woods grizzlies.
They were supposed to do a fundraising car wash today, but as their assistant coach
I said, "how would you guys like to make some real money?"
Oh. Smart thinking, coach. Uh, good to see you again.
Yeah. Hey, whoa, whoa, you all right?
- Ah yeah. Just a little ged up. - All right. Well, it's good to see ya!
I didn't get a chance to see much of your show, but I caught a few episodes,
and uh from what I saw, you came across as, you know, someone with verisimilitude.
Thanks! That was my intention.
Well you know, sometimes intention is all we have.
For instance these guys. Last year their record was one and nine.
- They played their hearts out every game. - - Wow, who was their coach?
- Good one. - My brother's kind of a jackass. - No, it's good.
I gotta get back to the dock. Make sure it doesn't fall into the lake.
Oh Kate, I uh, I have to head into town.
I have to deal with some post show stuff.
You just got here.
I know. I just gotta send some stuff, so.
Well, I have a ton of stuff for you to go through.
Okay, well looks like you got a pretty deep bench.
I'll be back around eight or nine. We'll throw out some shit.
Shit?
- What else do you want to call it? - Uhh.
Hit me on my cell if you need anything.
Great.
Found your captain's log.
Thanks. I guess.
Scottie, what happened on that show?
What are you talking about? What, is this about me leaving?
You know what, forget it!
You know, I'm sick and tired of this passive aggressive shit you're pulling.
- I made a choice to live my life! - I never had a choice!
Oh, oh, so you're playing the martyr now?
Oh, martyr? Is that what you call someone who cared 'round the clock for our dying father?
- Oh don't even start. - I put my life on hold. My career. Okay?
He's dead; And now I gotta deal with your shit,
and Fitz's shit, and my own dumb, fucked up shit.
- Just, just listen. - Yeah, listening. Listening is a great place to start.
We're gonna go through all this stuff, and not lose anything to shit.
It is shit! There's nothing here that's gonna change who dad was,
or who you think he was!
End of story!
Get the fuck out.
Okay! Whoa! Scott! Scott!
You may want to hang around because I think I found something.
Come on.
Good job guys.
- Huh? Oh my god. - The kids found it buried in the sand.
Oh. It's dad's scarf! It's his scarf from that Christmas.
Look, there's his initials. Don't you remember?
What are you getting at?
It's weird. Dad was digging down here these final months.
I thought it was just the chemo brain,
- and the drinking. - Kate, it's crap that floated to shore.
I don't know. It looks like a sign to me.
It's a scarf! From sears!
Scottie, it's dad's scarf! He put it down here.
Oh, unbelievable! I-i mean, are you and Indiana Fitz gonna
unearth this whole place now, ing for more treasures from dad?
Maybe we are, what do you care? Don't you have to go into town?
Scott, we don't know what we don't know.
And you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
I-I'm not gonna be a part of this junior archeological dig. No offense guys.
Good job guys. Keep it up. Let's get to China.
It was like the whole energy of the place just changed after Scottie's news.
I mean, for Kelly's sake we just acted like business as usual, you know?
She didn't know yet.
So Jerry comes out of the bathroom, and we go, "Jerry you got on womens underpants!"
- And he says, "well everybody got they breaking points!"
Kelly looks stunning.
Some sweet eye candy to give this place a badly needed sugar high, right?
Hilarious. You are too funny. It was like that commercial!
- Hi. You look beautiful. - Thank you
so, what's up? I was told you wanted to talk to me.
Yeah. Um, uh, my dad. He's been, he's been sick for,
for some time now. And, uh I-i just found out he passed away.
I'm so sorry.
It's, um, it's fine. I just, I just gotta go home.
I gotta deal with the funeral and all that stuff, so.
That's very brave of you.
Guys, shut off the cameras.
Shut off the cameras, dammit!
This man has just lost his father! Turn them off! All of them!
Cut your mic.
You know, I've seen some sad stuff in my life.
But this was like, man. Whoa. I was like Titanic sad.
We were all just glued, watching this scene play out.
Scottie using his tragedy to position himself? No doubt.
Grief is a powerful thing.
Scottie! Wait a second.
Uh, I just wanted to say goodbye to you.
Let yourself grieve about your old man.
I'm sure if he was anything like you, he must have been a solid man.
Thanks, man.
And, don't kick yourself about not being there.
Some things we can't control.
Not like you were running away from anything, right?
Right.
You take care. See you on the trail.
There's nothing left to say.
I'm going home.
Stay tuned for more of your favorite young buck episodes!
And don't forget, the shocking season finale this Monday 10/9 central. Mount up, America!
Those gizmos can drive a man to drink.
I like to keep it simple.
Nice.
I don't wanna make a fuss, but please know
I truly do send my condolences to you and your family.
Well, you are the Olson boy, the one on the TV on the looney toon program, yes?
Yeah.
You know, I knew your dad in the early '70s.
We met at an underwriter's convention.
Oh, pardon me! Elmer Severson, state farm agent 43 years.
Scottie. Nice to meet you.
Your dad was quite the catch at the '71 convention.
You see, my daughter was helpin' out on the convention floor,
and boy did he use a line on her.
My dad? He, he tried to pick up your daughter?
He walks up and he says,
"miss, I fear you've just accelerated my death benefit."
Yeah. Death benefit's a life insurance term.
Ahh.
Guess you have to be in the industry. - Ah, guess so.
I didn't know my dad was such a Casanova.
Well, I suppose there's a lot we never know.
So, your dad came to me three sheets to the wind, all in tears.
Hey, that must have been the '72 convention.
See, he was in love with my daughter and,
well, she had three other convention guys competing for her heart.
Oh, and he's begging me to do something. He's hollering and carrying on and,
well, she ended up in the arms of some fella from Iowa.
Iowa.
I didn't realize Randy retired up here until I read the obit.
Would've looked him up.
You know, there's a loss of all that was and then there's a loss of all that wasn't.
It's the wasn't that seems to drive folks a little nutty.
Leaves them kinda rudderless for awhile.
Hey, looks like all the other kids got picked up. Is your mom not here yet?
No, my mom's always late.
- Well, um, hop in. I'll wait with you. - Thanks.
I don't know what stations you guys like to listen to around here, so whatever you want.
My mom's onto Christian rock right now. It's the worst, but I don't say nothin'.
Oh uh, I don't, I don't listen to that.
So, do you and the team like to do this kind of work? I imagine it's kinda strange.
I guess. Beats washing cars,
and we really want our entire team to go to this basketball camp put on by the Timberwolves.
You know, in the NBA?
Other teams in our division go, but our entire team hasn't.
It'd really bring us to the next level.
Oh. Wow, that sounds like a great investment.
You want to see the packet?
It's two weeks away from home, and you get to stay college dorm rooms!
Sure.
See, they even bring in NBA stars to offer pointers.
Some guys on our team haven't been away from home for two weeks.
I haven't, but it sounds so awesome.
Ugh, I never did well at camp. I always got so homesick.
But this looks like way too much fun.
Wait. You? Homesick?
Yeah, I was a kid once.
Oh. Well, yeah.
You probably don't know what a Walkman is, but on my first trip to camp
my dad made this sweet little recording on a cassette tape and sent it to me.
My counselors had told my parents how homesick I was.
Anyway, he recorded this sweet little goodnight,
and then the girls in my cabin found it.
And, they made so much fun of me. Calling me daddy's goodnight girl.
So humiliated.
I came home so mad, I threw the Walkman at him.
It hit him in the face and he chipped a tooth.
If I were in your cabin, I wouldn't have made fun of you.
Well, not that it would have been your cabin because I'm a boy, but...
Yeah, I know what you mean, thank you.
You're very sensitive.
You're more sensitive than a lot of people I know.
I don't know about sensitive, but um.
You meet a lot of people?
Oh! Um, sorry! I'm such a klutz!
Oh, there's your mom! Is that your mom?
Here's your...
Oh yeah, um, thanks.
I'll see you tomorrow then.
You should know, you'll be a very good looking mom.
- Um, thank you. - Sure, bye. - Bye.
Ah! Od you're not a hand model, huh?
That's gonna leave a scar.
You should've had those stitches out weeks ago!
Yeah, I know.
Think maybe I could get some painkillers?
If this is a stunt because you think you can get painkillers from a small town doc,
you've got another thing coming.
No, uh, i...
I'm just kiddin' ya. Little bit of levity.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about your dad.
I didn't know him personally, but I knew of him.
Your sister, I do know!
She's, uh, got that sweet little nervous Nellie thing, right?
- Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Yeah. The circle of life, huh?
You look like good uncle material.
- That must be a nice distraction. - Uncle?
You're gonna have to clean up your act, mister.
Stop giving your sister those cigarettes.
I'd tell you to lay off the cancer sticks, but the celebs I've treated,
and I have treated a few, usually don't listen to anybody until they're in rehab.
How much you drinkin' these days, huh?
Every time I saw you on that show, you had a drink in your hand.
Yeah, the last kid was just picked up.
Oh, I was gonna, uh, swing by the market.
The kids asked me to pick up a few things for tomorrow for them.
Yeah, I know. I'm a pushover.
Anyway, um, I'll be home in like an hour.
I thought maybe we could go for that walk then?
Yeah, no, I-i just thought...
Yeah, we can talk in the morning.
What do we have here?
In art class, snapped Angela's bra and got detention.
Katie told dad, and dad's not talkin' to me.
Katie and dad, suck it. Another day in paradise. Phil Collins sucks.
My hockey career is over.
Girls don't get me. I tried to touch Casey Stanley's boob, and she said I was a player.
October 30, 1990: Dad hit a moose with his truck on his way home from the cabin.
He wasn't hurt, but he couldn't remember anything.
I was scared.
With Scott gone, we all knew that it was dunkin's belt buckle that we needed to loosen.
He just embodies a man, right down to his Cologne.
He has a swagger. Kinda reminds me of my daddy.
And a sweetness that reminds me of my grandma Ruth.
Is that weird?
Even darkness is not dark to Kelly. The night is bright as day when she's around.
Ahh, I hope she sees the light I bring too. I think she does.
Of course I think about that goodbye, and it's like...
I've come to believe that everything happens for a reason.
You can mourn that hole in your heart when someone leaves,
you can just fill it with a new love.
What else are you supposed to do?
To a beautiful woman.
Cheers, to a handsome man!
- Most of us guys, young bucks, are not known for our poetry. - Oh?
- But, I wrote something. - You did?
It's called perfection, far from wasted. By me.
"And another regrettable thing about love"
"is the ending of your walking on your own two feet"
"which took an entire life to ground."
"The whole act of love is intoxicating, like too many six packs."
"Who will be this perfect again? No one."
"For you alone are perfection, far from wasted."
Wow. That's beautiful.
No one had ever written such beautiful words for me.
I was melting.
All of the pain that I've felt in love
seems to wash away in moments like that.
I feel really blessed.
Ever since I was a little girl when I went to bed, I would count my blessings,
and I would send my blessings out to other people.
And even though I am out with dunkin, and the other guys,
I'm sending my blessings to Scottie.
I think he needs them.
He'll be the same as, as he was. Time will heal him.
I look forward to seeing him then.
One day.
- Hey. Hey! Hmm? - You awake? - No.
Can I ask you something?
It's a little early for 'can I ask you something' questions. Don't you think?
Right.
Uh, we should probably leave in like 20 to pick up the kids.
Kate. It's about Scottie, right? Your question?
Yeah.
- You're doing fine with that. - Thanks.
All right, well it's not exactly machu Pichu, but we are moving dirt.
And guess what? Today we're gonna continue searching. We're gonna continue looking.
We're gonna make this place look nice, okay?
We're gonna split you up today as well.
I know this all seems a tad ridiculous, but you're a team. You're a family.
And when you're working together, then it doesn't matter what you're doing.
You're building a bond.
So when the Chisholm pioneers start full court pressing you
in the fourth quarter next year, you're gonna be there for each other. Why?
Because you have a bond that cannot be severed. It cannot be pierced.
All right guys, bring it in. Come on. One, two, three, grizzlies!
Let's work! Come on! Yeah!
- Hey. - Hey.
- They uh, they find anything else? - Uh, not really.
He's kinda good with those kids, huh?
Ah, he's got 'em digging holes, looking for treasures.
He must be doin' something right.
And if you can build a sandcastle, just for moral support...
All right.
So where are you off to today?
Eh, I'm just gonna hang around here today.
Stop it! What are you doing? I still have to go through all that!
What, what you think you're really gonna hold onto time, December 1975?
Well, there's a reason why he saved it.
The ayatollah was the man of the year.
See?
Oh, dad was a big fan of the Ayotollah? Come on!
Stop it, Scottie! People might want this stuff. On ebay, it's worth money.
Is, is that why you're taking pictures and, and sorting so thoroughly?
To sell it on ebay?
Yeah!
Okay.
Look, if you want to help, I'll show you the system.
How much you get for that?
Cheese!
Chickie! I thought you were lost to the ages. Get over here.
Aw! Welcome home Chickie!
Capture this moment.
It smells.
- Oh man, I-I'm gonna keep this photo. That cool? Yeah.
I don't have anything from dad's single years.
Kinda wonder what he was like. Look at this.
Who's that he's with? It doesn't look like mom.
- Elmer Severson's daughter. - What are you talking about?
I should probably keep these encyclopedias.
I think someone pawned half of those.
These used to be in dad's office, you know? I'm sure I'll find a use.
Maybe a couple of those plaques for my office.
That's kind of cool.
Kate, what are you doing?
That's so much stuff!
Yeah, I know. I just, I like the way they look, and I mean,
I think these were actually a wedding present from grandma to mom and dad.
Pretty unique to the 70's.
I'm kind of thinking of having a fondue party anyway, so might as well use these.
I just keep thinking about the Nevers.
How he'll never walk me down the aisle.
Never send me another one sentence birthday card.
Never meet his grandkids.
That was gonna be his second act, you know?
He'd of done it differently.
He'd have been a sweetheart.
Maybe.
Just stop. Y-you're driving yourself crazy.
It's amazing how you're just like him.
Standing there.
Just terrorized by someone who just needs a hug.
Okay, I, um, I-i-i gotta get this.
Kelly!
I just need to talk to you!
Can you just give me a chance?
I'm gonna go to bed.
Fitz isn't back yet, but I'm exhausted.
Okay.
So we've got that meeting in the morning.
I'll be up.
Okay. Well, night.
Anita Severson.
"Dear sweet Anita, I miss you like no one I've ever missed.
My heart is crushed, reduced to driftwood on a lonely, deserted island.
Please reconsider. I love you, Randy"
please reconsider. I love you, Randy"
I've said it from the beginning, I'm not here to make friends.
Loneliness is the true cowboy's companion.
I'm myself around Kelly, and that's all that matters.
At least I wasn't writing plagiarized poetry like Walt dunkin Whitman!
The guy thinks that he stepped right out of a romance novel or something.
You know what I mean?
Reg and Garreth started insinuating that I wasn't being truthful.
Please. I mean, Kelly's amazing, right?
And these guys were just feeling like
time's winged chariot hurrying near.
Their days were numbered.
Dunkin says he's from Georgia.
I've never heard anybody from Georgia sound like that,
"time's winged chariot hurrying near."
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to find that great love.
It's just working out beyond my wildest dreams.
The last three guys are amazing.
Of course, I have my favorite, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I mean there we are. Three of us left.
The vultures were circling.
Started to feel a lil bit like death valley, know what I mean?
I'm not saying that these two suitors aren't fine gents.
I'm merely suggesting that a man with a horse and stable can buy his little girl a pony.
- A dog and pony show. - I mean, who is this guy?
You guys are, you're ridiculous.
I mean, I'm just looking to provide my daughter with the stable of a loving family.
- Is that so, reg? - Yeah!
Oh sh-t.
- That's Scottie. - What? Oh my god!
My stomach was in my throat, and my heart was pounding out of my chest.
Oh my god, he came back. Watch yourself. Compose yourself. Compose yourself.
He's not in the show. What's he doing here? It was crazy.
- How you been, man? You look good. - Hanging in there, thanks.
Hey man, why don't you hop in? The water's warm.
Kelly, can, uh, can we talk? - Um, sure.
Just the dudes. You guys wanna...
- no. I don't want anything with you. - All right.
I've never lost somebody, and then had them come wandering back to me.
That was kind of strange.
I've been thinking about you a lot for the past few weeks.
I've been thinking about you a lot too.
I was at the funeral just staring at him.
This man I never really knew. N-never showed any love to.
This man I would always disappoint.
Oh, you can't do that to yourself.
I just kept thinking, what if I just could've gone back in time?
Done it differently?
Shown him that I could do it right?
So, I wanna do it right with you. Give me back my buckle.
- Please. - Scottie, don't do this.
You don't want to be here.
- You want to go get better. - Look, forget about the damn show.
- Scottie! - Let go of her!
This doesn't concern you, man. - Yeah, it does, buck-o.
Do you wanna be with this guy?
I mean seriously, this is what you're gonna choose?
Hey, will you guys just stop? All of you, just stop please, and just let me be alone!
Why did you have to come here and mess everything up?
What the hell are you thinking?
You're not even supposed to be here.
This is awful.
My heart. I know my heart. It's so confused.
I was just there in the heat of the moment with Scottie and his beautiful eyes.
You know? Those eyes are in my dreams.
I have to just focus on these other three awesome guys, right?
I need to give them my love.
I feel like a, a little girl trapped in some Grimm fairy tale.
I'm terrible at this.
Scottie? Scottie?
Scottie, we gotta go. Are you up? - Shit.
Scottie, seriously we gotta go in five minutes, okay? Coming, okay?
"My dear sweet Kelly, I miss you like no other. Please reconsider. I love you."
Wait, are you leaving right after the meeting?
Yeah, I thought maybe you could drop me off from the car.
What? Fitz and the team can, you know,
take the u-haul, and drop everything off at the storage unit.
I'll come back in a couple of weeks and pick up my stuff.
Yeah, great.
I'll pay for the team's time.
Of course.
Is everything okay?
Yeah, all good.
Oh.
You know, I've, uh, called the realtors and they've told me that
th-the new owners are very happy with the way the escrow has gone so smoothly.
We've moved everything out of the cabin, the personal items,
and just cleaned up the place a bit.
Yeah, the new owners are really gonna love the new paint job.
Brought in some Ace painters.
That's terrific. You guys really go above and beyond. That's wonderful.
So, I just need your signatures, uh, here and here.
All right.
So, you know, your father and I, we go way back.
I was actually at your parent's wedding if you can believe that.
You know, it speaks to his loyalty that here we are, taking care of his estate.
So, there isn't much more to go over.
Great. So, if that's it, we should get going.
Well, actually, uh, there is something else.
After all the back taxes and the fees have been paid off on this cabin,
there is gonna be a sizeable amount of money. $90,000.
Who knew in this market that the cabin would do so well.
It states very clearly in your father's will,
that if there is any money left over from the sale of the cabin
that that money will be distributed to Scottie
to pay down his debts and to pay for his education.
What?
Yes. It was your father's intention...
No, I understand that intention. Um, I'm just, I'm confused.
It is a special circumstance.
M sorry, I-is this some kind of joke?
No, this is no joke. It's in his will.
I would have told you sooner, but I didn't wanna cause anymore grief,
and frankly, I mean, I didn't think it was gonna be an issue.
I thought that we'd owe money. You know? I mean,
we sold the cabin for such a slick price.
Am I hearing this right? I nursed my dad through chemo, through the very, very end.
I mean I, I left my job for months without compensation, without question,
and now my brother is being rewarded for being the absent jerkoff
who fucked around on a reality television show?
Jesus Kate, come on!
Kate, I don't think that's a fair characterization
of young bucks. I mean, that was a fine show. It was Emmy nominated!
Your, your father was very concerned about Scottie.
I mean that-that's not saying anything against you.
I mean he had no idea that the cabin would sell so well.
The living have absolutely no idea what they're gonna be worth when they're gone.
So, failing out of school, and running up a debt, and being a general fuckup is rewarded?
- Kate, just take it easy. Oh my god, don't you dare tell me to take it easy.
I don't even know what crazy shit you're mixed up in again with that hand of yours,
and bizarre text messages from that reality chick saying she's gonna go to the police.
You know what, take the fucking 90k. Piss it away.
At least I live in a world where I have to get real with people.
I mean, hah, that kid of yours is gonna be real lucky to have such a nut job as a mother.
How dare you? Have you been going through my shit?
You fucking bitch.
I'm done.
Go, get the fuck out!
- Congratulations on the baby. - Oh fuck you, Bob!
She doesn't wanna see you. I know.
If I let you on during tonight's buckle ceremony, what are you gonna do?
Apologize. That's all.
That's all you wanna do? - That's all I wanna do.
Well, that is very thoughtful of you.
And it also makes for really good TV.
Yeah. That's what I'm here for.
Let's get you another beer, or maybe a shot.
Reginald.
I'm sorry. Your buckle, please.
- Good luck. - Thanks.
Kelly.
I-I came back for you. I-i don't wanna lose you.
Leave, please. Scottie.
You've been told to go home. Go home. - Kelly, don't.
D-don't, don't, don't do this. - Please, just go. Please.
- Stop torturing this woman. - Dunkin, please.
Just get the hell outta here, man!
I'm just trying to talk to Kelly all right, just...
Aw, come on guys!
Whoa, man!
Oh! Aw man, get off of him. Come on!
- Come on! - Get off me!
No! Argh!
I'm gonna sue your ass, man!
Mother f... r. Do you even love her?
Love? Do you think I even know Kelly?
Do you think any of these guys do?
Jesus man, we know she's good in the sack,
but that's about it. It's a f-ing game.
It's not a f-ing game to me mother f-er.
Stop.
Dude, cool off.
All right, kids are gonna meet us by the storage locker.
You okay?
You ever think that maybe he's in a better place?
And this is the way it's supposed to be?
You know, he's looking down on you right now.
And yet, I'm just here, watching the world go by.
You know, I've been trying to talk to you for days.
I know.
I get it. You've changed. I've changed.
You know, I didn't even want to have this conversation right now.
- I wanted to deal with everything first and then... - what conversation?
Oh please. I just wanted to unload the truck, and then take care of the kids.
Then the two of us could go our separate ways, and take a break.
- And have a child together. - Come on.
Yeah.
Kate, sweetie, I-i am so sorry.
- You have to go now, okay? No, you can't tell me that and then ask me to leave.
Fitz, you need to go, and you need to let me say goodbye to this place without you.
Okay. I mean, if that is your intention, then fine.
Please, just go.
Okay.
This search for love and connection, it's so maddening.
It needs one of those little decoders you find at the bottom of cereal boxes.
I came on this show not knowing what I would find.
I just knew that I was over the pain of losing.
And I was over the pain of a broken heart.
So many guys I've dated, I've had to search for that language of love.
Is he in love with me?
Or, is he just in love with me because he's supposed to be in love with me?
Am I supposed to be in love with him?
The uncertainty of those questions is just terrifying.
I just want it to be clear.
This is a dream come true!
Are you gonna put it on me?
I love you, and you love me.
But there, with dunkin as the sun set,
I no longer had these irritating worries.
It was a dream come true. I was set free.
So madly in love. And so was he.
- Hey. - Hey.
Looks like you, uh, have some extra storage space.
Underwater storage.
Uh, where, where are Fitz and the Ballers?
I sent them home.
- Okay. Well, uh... - what are you doing here, Scottie?
Didn't you have to go after your reality girl?
- I came back, so you could hear this. - What are you doing?
All right Katie, well your mother and I are heading to bed.
Well, I am. Your mother's fallen asleep reading some book about what's wrong with me.
The news here is that Scottie is grounded. I guess that's not really new news.
He sold s-z of our world books. Turns out,
he's been skipping his summer school classes,
and selling the books one by one to that antique shop on Lindale.
He does make life interesting with his ways of avoiding responsibility.
I suppose he gets that from me.
All right, now I know you only talk to your mother about your worries.
I'm here to remind you to just relax and squeeze Chickie.
That's what she told me to say. I'm bad at this.
Please, don't worry. Go have some fun!
All is fine here. Even with your nutty brother.
He did ask when you're coming home today.
Nice to hear his voice, huh?
Sleep well. Love you.
I miss him.
I miss him too.
Come on. Let's go say goodbye.
You're it!
Look what I found! Pirate treasure!
