Welcome back, boys.
[man] As somebody once said,
there's a difference between a failure
and a fiasco.
["Jesus Was a Crossmaker" by the Hollies playing]
â™ª Sweet silver angels Over the sea â™ª
â™ª Please come down Flying low for me â™ª
â™ª One time I trusted A stranger â™ª
â™ª 'Cause I heard His sweet song â™ª
â™ª And it was gently Enticing me â™ª
â™ª There was Something wrong... â™ª
Watch your head.
â™ª He was gone... â™ª
I'm fine!
[man] A failure is simply the non-presence of success.
â™ª He's a bandit And a heartbreaker... â™ª
[man] Any fool can accomplish failure.
I'm fine.
â™ª Jesus was a crossmaker â™ª
I'm fine.
[man 2] What the hell is he doing here?
[man 1] But a fiasco...
A fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions.
A fiasco is a folk tale told to others
that makes other people feel more...alive...
because it didn't happen to them.
I'm fine.
I--I--
I'm fine.
I'll take you to Phil so you don't get lost.
[man] Mercury Worldwide Shoes,
which is actually Phil,
contains some of America's finest artist's masterworks
seen only by people
heading for very important meetings.
A promotion,
or otherwise.
We are not just employees, as Phil once said.
We are denizens of greatness.
Phil says the world is full of those
who achieve through negativity or theft.
We succeed through original thought.
A shoe is not just a shoe. It connects us to the earth.
The right shoe can transport us,
make us believe we are capable of more.
But there are sacrifices
for a goal like pure greatness, like birthdays,
or last Christmas with my family.
[all] ...and make bounties through our Lord, amen.
Dig in, and no making fun of my cooking.
Ha ha.This must be homemade.
Oh, Dad!
[man] Though we sometimes celebrate
odd things at Mercury,
like the day the Italians invented rubber--
which they didn't, of course--
but that's beside the point.
[woman] where exactly is Drew, anyway?
[yelling and cheering]
We've contained magic...
in a shoe!
Whoo-hoo!
Yeah!
[all] Drew! Drew! Drew! Drew! Drew!
[Drew] It was meant to approximate
walking on a cloud.
Hey, if you ever need anything around here,
I'm your girl.
[Drew] Any true student of functional shoe design
is also a student of Phil himself.
He is a master,
and Phil's innate wisdom of what people want and need
has never failed to date.
I'm fine.
[Drew] He's also obsessed with the number 2.
Hi, how are you doing?
7:30 or 8:00--
[Drew] These are Phil's prized 2 Norman Rockwell's.
The pair of paintings that once hung outside
the White House office of John F. Kennedy.
And yes, the 2 treasured doors
Phil once purchased from a church
on vacation in Tunisia and had sent back home
for a total cost too enormous to mention.
$762,000.
Each.
Just 2 more minutes and I can send you in, hmm?
[Drew] Because we have a moment here,
let me tell you that I have recently become
a secret connoisseur of last looks.
You know the way people look at you
when they believe it's for the last time?
I've started collecting these looks, and--
OK, he's ready for you.
[Drew] There's one right now.
How are you, Drew?
I wanted to jump out of the window of that helicopter
and just splatter on the trees, to tell you the truth.
Don't do that.
It's only money.
The American psyche is in turmoil, Drew,
and we have miscalculated.
I'm sorry.
I have no rule book for this situation.
They tell me that we are about to lose
972...
million dollars.
I am...
ill-equipped in the philosophies of failure.
Walk with me, Drew.
My basketball team.
They don't even know yet.
My global environmental watchdog project will have to go.
Sweet people.
We could have saved the planet,
but...
how do I make the concept of $972 million
more real to you?
It's the operating budget of a mid-sized country,
a small civilization.
It's big.
It's so big, you could round it off
to a billion dollars.
I cry a lot lately.
The promise of a global future,
pinned to a groundbreaking shoe, your design,
with a new form of material launched this week to great fanfare,
and now meeting a growing international
roar of laughter... and rejection.
Enough to cause this memo...
from Jeffrey Barlow, CEO Of D.C.S.:
"This once highly anticipated product
may actually cause an entire generation
to return to bare feet."
[laughing hysterically]
Wow.
We are about to enter...
a free-fall plunge.
And the sound you hear
is the sound of shit hitting the fan.
Globally.
[whispering] You hear it?
Swoosh!
I wish there was something I could do.
Actually, there is.
In a room downstairs is a reporter from Global Business Today.
We need to make him understand
we hired you from our national scholarship program.
We supported-- invested in-- your brilliance.
This was a very creative endeavor,
and I think you should stand up...
for your incredible work.
You OK?
I'm fi--
It's a little bit like knowing the plane's going down before anyone else,
isn't it?
When does this run? A week? A week.
Come Sunday evening, it'll be on the stands.
Any last words?
[Drew] And in that moment, I knew.
I know we hired you at the last minute, but I just--
[Drew] Success.
Success, not greatness,
was the only god the entire world served.
[door closes]
Home sweet home.
â™ª Oh, you â™ª
â™ª And I â™ª
â™ª We sure â™ª
â™ª Can dream... â™ª
[Drew] Eight years.
Night and day. Can you imagine?
An entire life wrapped up in a shoe.
â™ª We might have been â™ª
â™ª I know â™ª
â™ª That I â™ª
â™ª Treat you unkind â™ª
â™ª And long ago â™ª
â™ª I lost my mind â™ª
â™ª Oh, I â™ª
â™ª Shut us down â™ª
â™ª No, I â™ª
â™ª Will stay around â™ª
â™ª As long â™ª
â™ª As I can â™ª
â™ª As long â™ª
â™ª As I can â™ª
â™ª As long â™ª
â™ª As I can â™ª
[cell phone ringing "I Can't Get Next to You"]
[cell phone stops ringing]
[ring]
[ringing stops]
[ring]
Yell-O.
Drew, it's your sister.
I have some really bad news.
Could you call me tomorrow?
No.
Could you call me a little later?
No, honey!
Dad died.
He had a heart attack back in Kentucky.
He was still visiting Uncle Dale.
Mom is in total shock.
You have to handle this.
You're the oldest!
You're the responsible one.
I don't know why he went to Kentucky.
I don't know what the attraction was.He was born there.
They never liked me there. They never have.
Drew will take care of everything.
Honey, you understand I can't go because of the baby?
I'll be back in 2 days.I'll man the phones.
I'll always be the one that snatched him away from them.
The 2 sides of this family have never integrated well,
so don't expect to make a lot of friends when you go there.
Drew doesn't make friends, Mom.
I have friends!Do you have the blue suit?
I have the blue suit.
Oh, he loved that silly blue suit.
God only knows if I made him truly happy.
I'll call from Kentucky, I'll be there in the morning.
We have a plan!We have a plan,
and you hold your head up high, because don't you forget,
you go back there as the most successful man in the history of this family.
Don't let them try anything.
Oh, my God! I have to call people.
I have to clean out the office. I'm a widow!
We'll figure this out. We'll figure this out.
Just get Dad home. Hurry.
I was still waiting for everything to start.
Now it's...over?
I'll bring him home.Wait, wait! Stay close. Come, come, come.
Now, what was it that Dad always said?
If it wasn't this--
[Drew and Hollie] It would be something else.
Now, you go. You go and you make him proud,
and you call and tell me
what's going on, OK? All right.
[Drew] I would go to Kentucky,
put my father in the blue suit,
bring him home,
and then get back on that bike.
Nothing would stop the plan.
â™ª She wore faded jeans And soft black leather â™ª
â™ª She had eyes so blue â™ª
â™ª They looked like weather â™ª
â™ª When she needed me, I wasn't around â™ª
â™ª That's the way it goes It'll all work out â™ª
â™ª There were times apart There were times together â™ª
â™ª I was pledged to her For worse or better â™ª
â™ª When it mattered most I let her down â™ª
â™ª That's the way it goes It'll all work out â™ª
Sir?
Sir!
By flying this flight,
you have helped save all our jobs.
Definitely mine, maybe even...
[whispering] the entire airline.
We would like to reward you
with a free seat in first class.
I'm fine.
OK, let me try it like this--
I'm really tired. Please don't make me
keep walking all the way back down here all night long.
Louisville, Kentucky, huh?
Home, business, or family?
My dad.
Oh. Where does he live in Louisville?
Actually, he's near Louisville.
Lou-a-vul.
Louie-ville. Vul.
Lou--Louie--Vul.
He's in Elizabethtown.
Oh, good. Hope someone's driving you,
because the roads around there
are hopelessly and gloriously confusing.
Lou-a-vul.
I'll keep that in mind.
I'll draw you a quick map.
I mean, I'm so happy we're sitting here
having this conversation at 3:00 in the morning,
or whatever time it is, you know?
It's such-- such a great time,
everyone's sleeping but us.
It's really nice to have a conversation with you
and that you're really listening.
I feel like I can really talk to you,
and that's there's no...
So you want to get to 264,
and then you want to not miss 60B.
I'm gonna be obnoxious about that.
Bens are strangely delightful
and very intuitive.
Complex. Almost too complex to be around.
Do you know any Bens?
I know one Ben.
Oh. I'm a student of names.
For example, what's your dad's name?
Mitchell.
Mitchell?Yep.
Or Mitch?
Mitchell, sometimes Mitch.Ah.
Son of a Mitch.
And today I was fired by a Phil.
Phil?
Phils are dangerous.
Phils are less predictable than Bens.
Oh-ho!
And your girlfriend is a...?
Ellen.
Hmm. How's that going?
Sort of a wait and see.Oh, yeah?
But then I waited, and I saw.
I was gonna say.
I have never had a good experience with an Ellen.
Or a Phil.
How about with a Mitch?
Never met a Mitch I didn't like.
Fun. Full of life, you know?
You know what I mean when I say "fun"?
Like, you want to be a part
of Mitch's club.
Am I close?
Close.
He's OK, right?
Yeah. He's...
He's fine.
Well...
you give him a big old hug for me.
I'm Claire, by the way.
Drew.
Nice.Same to you.
Please.
I'll let you sleep. Here's your map.
Let me take this.
Oh.
I can handle this.
Let go.
[Drew] I am not asleep.
I'm not.
[overlapping voices]
OK.
There you go, Drew.
[Drew] I am not asleep.
Blue suit.
[overlapping voices]
[Drew] We'll go next year.
Come back.
â™ª This time around â™ª
â™ª This time around... â™ª
[Drew] $1 billion.
[cheering]
Whoo!
Good morning!
And congratulations, Drew.
You've earned your wings as our 10 millionth passenger.
And here is a coupon for any 4 Diamond Hotel
in the greater western Kentucky area.
Better move quickly.
[whispering] Lots of people behind you.
[laughing]
Well, thank you.
Absolutely.
And good luck with Ben.
Look, I know I may never see you again,
but we are intrepid.
We carry on.
Drew!
Uh, rental car's around the corner.
You'll see the signs.
Bluegrass Parkway turns into exit 60B.
Don't forget! 60B.
OK. Thanks.
You OK to drive?
I'm fine.
60B!

â™ª Looking out for love â™ª
And I'll be there by 2:00.
â™ª Big, big love â™ª
I have the blue suit.
Where is 60B?
Oh, shit, man.
Oh, man!
Did I miss 60B?
[yelling] Did I miss 60B?
God! No!
[honking horn]
Did I miss 60B?
Elizabethtown.
Elizabethtown! Yes!
Elizabethtown! Elizabeth--
We're in-- Oh, yeah! OK.
[man yelling]
Oh! Hey!
Whoo!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[cicadas singing]
[sighs]
Oh, yeah.
Jesse?
Cuz.
[chuckles]
Oof! Cuz.
This loss will be met by a hurricane of love.
Um, ahem...
Charles Dean, meet grown-up Drew Baylor.
Drew, it's good to see you.
Thank you. My condolences.
And here's my dad, your uncle Dale.
Wonderful to see you again.
Well, Drew,
this is Mitch's plot,
and it has been in your family for 272 years.
Now, I've endeavored
to keep this area here clear
for your daddy.
We're still discussing that issue.
There is a possibility of... cremation.
Um... Oh!
Ahem.
Well...
Now, here's some of your daddy's personal things.
The brown wallet.
And here's his ring from West Point.
Now, I don't know how y'all feel out there in California,
but West Point sure does matter around here.
It matters a lot,
even though we now live in Oregon.
Uh-huh.
Everybody.
This is Mitch's boy from California.
One of the California Baylors.
This is Drew.
And just like your daddy was,
we are all very excited
about your 8-year triumph
with that beautiful shoe.
My condolences to all.
[sighs]
No, sir, I'm not gonna let you feel bad
'cause that was from your heart,
but let them say condolences to you.
I thought condolences was--
It's incoming-- It's an incoming phrase.
[sighs]
Did I not capture your daddy?
I don't know what the word is.
It's just a look I never saw before.
What's the word?
Drew,
if you just move around a bit,
you will see different aspects.
Go ahead and cry.
[thinking] What's the word?
Whimsical.
The word is whimsical.
[Elton John] â™ª From this day on â™ª
â™ª I own my father's gun â™ª
Hey, why not?
â™ª We dug his shallow grave â™ª
Whimsical.
â™ª Beneath the sun â™ª
â™ª I laid His broken body down â™ª
â™ª Below the Southern land â™ª
â™ª It wouldn't do to bury him â™ª

â™ª To New Orleans â™ª
â™ª Well, that's Just fine, all right â™ª
I brought the turkey hash brown casserole.
Oh, that's fine.
â™ª 'Cause there's Fighting there â™ª
â™ª And the company Needs men... â™ª
Dora. Dora.
This is Dora. Dora. Aunt Dora.
Aunt Dora. Look what I found.
Oh, my God.
Look at Mitch's baby!
You look just like your daddy with those big feet.
Wait just a minute. I got to talk to Drew.
We hope you're gonna stay for a while.
You know your aunt Lena.
[indistinct]
â™ª To watch The children growing â™ª
This is your blood.
â™ª And see The women sewing... â™ª
And that's Samson, my son.
Clearly up to no good.
Samson.
Hey! Uncle Mitch always wanted us to meet.
Everybody says we look alike.
Ha ha!
Well...
Weird, huh? It's like looking in a mirror.
Hi, Drew. Drew, I'm Connie.
I was your daddy's first girlfriend.
Hi. Hi, uh, Drew. I'm Charlie.
I just wanted to say that I'm a huge fan of shoes
and the work you've done in the shoe business.
We'll talk.
We've got memorial plans to discuss.
Your daddy was one of my 10 most favorite people.
Nice to meet you.
Drew, I'm E. Russell Marlow
with the American Legion in Bardstown, Kentucky.
We want to sign you up for the American Legion
or the Sons of the Legion,
and I've got a hat that I want you to keep as a souvenir
in honor of your dad.
â™ª To New Orleans â™ª
â™ª Well, that's just fine, All right... â™ª
Bill Banyon's not coming, is he?
â™ª And the company Needs men â™ª
â™ª Oh, I tell ya, Oh, I tell ya â™ª
â™ª Slip us a rope and sail on 'Round the bend... â™ª
[dogs barking]
Oh! Stop it!
Bad dog! Bad dog!
Stop it!
Bad dog!
Oh! Look at this mess!
[high-pitched screaming]
So, come on in.
You know, it's not every day I invite good-looking men to my bedroom,
but I just wanted you to meet your family.
The Baylors and the Conleys.
Let's start with Dickey Conley.
Now, he was-- he was an alcoholic.
He had a drinking problem,
[whispering] and he also had 3 nipples.
He had 3 nipples.
And, uh, he was a poet.
How's your mother?
Drew, honey, you know...
I really should have a picture of her in here.
And this picture is...
[Lena] Aunt Dora!
Coming! Hold--Lena.
Lena, just watch over it 2 more minutes. I'm comin'.
This was the last picture taken of your daddy.
This was just 3 days ago, Drew.
He was the most lovin' man.
[Lena] Dora!Comin'!
Honey, you stay as long as you need to.
[car engine starts] Hey!
Ah! Samson!
Samson?
Unh! [tires squeal]
Oh, my God!
[groans]
Was he driving that?
You didn't get hurt.You all right, boy?
Oh, my-- Oh, my God!
Where the hell's his father? That's what I want to know.
What happened?
Who taught you how to drive, huh?
[all talking at once]
He's such a good boy.
[door slams]
Oh!
So!
Y'all obviously made a group decision
not to call and invite me.
Hi! Bill Banyon here.
Ha ha! Good to see you.
Bill Banyon. How are you? Good to see you.
I hear Drew Baylor's here.
Hi, Connie. How are you?
Is this Samson?
It is. This is Samson.
Come here, Samson. How are you doing?
Give me a big-boy hug.
[vomits] Ohh!
No!
I'm sorry, Bill.
I'll go in the kitchen.
Good to see you.
Ha ha! Cute kid.
Drew, can I have your autograph, please?
Ahem. Of course.
â™ª Round, round, And round â™ª
Hey, now...
where can I find an original model
of Adidas SL72s?
That boy is lookin' for rules from you.
Blame me. Everybody does.
You can't be a kid and raise a kid.
Dad, I'm taking this moment
to tell you that... I'm untraditional.
When we celebrate the life of Mitch,
we're gonna do it with no tears.
We're gonna do it with excitement,
and I'll take care of everything.
All right. All right.
We know what's up, and it's shoes.
Aah! We're so much alike!
Look, I teach him things that everybody should know.
I teach him about Abraham Lincoln
and Ronnie Van Zandt,
because, in my house,
they are both of equal importance.
You don't get what I'm saying.
You can't be buddies with your own son.
[My Morning Jacket] â™ª It's the art of feeling â™ª
â™ª That you get When you're close... â™ª
Beautiful night.
Does it ever cool off?
No, this time of year, it's hotter than the hinges of hell.
You got stars, though.
â™ª That's how I knew I would never be denied â™ª
â™ª That face in the mirror â™ª
â™ª Who could it be now? â™ª
Well, see, I'm surprised your mom didn't make it.
Yeah. She's pretty broken up.
She sends her love to everybody, though.
Mm-hmm.
Nah, I don't blame her.
Around here, their favorite thing to do
is to get offended by something small
and hold onto it for 50 years.
Of course, you and your dad were close.
Oh, very close.
And I knew him very, very well.
He was my dad.
We were actually going to drive here together
this year.
Then it became next year and...
No.
I knew him very well.
Very, very well. Hmm.
Very well.
Yeah, I don't know my dad very well, either.
[laughs]
That was my band.
This was the show we opened
for Lynyrd fucking Skynyrd.
2 of the original members.
Cool.
Ruckus.
Keep goin'.
Right below the reggae tribute. Look at that.
Ruckus.
We almost opened for 'em.
It's a really long story. We never played,
and we never played since.
And now you fix computers.

Ha ha ha.
You listen hard, laughing boy.
You bring the stuff?
No, Blinky, no.[gunshot]
Here's a knife that you'll really like.
This is my chef's knife.
These knives are...

[beep]Claire Colburn.
It's Drew Baylor.
You don't have to call me back. It's, um...
It's all good.
What am I saying? I don't even say "it's all good."
Uh, good night.
[cell phone rings]
â™ª Can turn A gray sky blue â™ª
Hello?
You have to come home.
Mom has decided that she wants to learn to cook.
Oh, no.
I'll be home soon.
Have you cried yet?
A little.
When it happens, it's gonna be for days.
Y-You should come home. She's out of control.
[beep]Wait a second. I'll be right back.
Please come home. Hello?
Great to hear from you. I didn't expect for you to call.
Then again, I did leave you a few thousand numbers.
It's Claire...Colburn.
Claire. American Airlines.
Can I call you right back?
I'll hold. OK.
[beep]Hello?
Please come home.
I wanna learn to cook,
I wanna learn to laugh,
and I wanna tap dance.
It will be my salvation.
She won't stop moving, Drew.
Not even-- We need a decision here.
What's your opinion on the whole burial issue?
Because there's a lot of people here with big opinions.
And there's a problem with the blue suit
that I can't put my finger on--
[beep]
W-W-W-Wait--
How you doin', Mom?
Great. I'm great.
We are gonna make it.
Hello.
Drew, it's Ellen. You called me?
Ellen!
Ellen? Ellen!
Thank you for calling me back!
I'm so happy you called.
Could you just hold on one second?
[beep] Hello?
You need to come home, Drew. I'll be right back.
Hello? Drew.
silly good-bye.
Could you hold on for just one second?
Yeah, but I'm actually on my way out to dinner.
Just--Just hold a second.
Can we just do--I'm just in the middle of--
I've gotta-- Ellen!
Just call me later--Don't go.
OK.
[beep] Hello?
Hello, stranger.
So, here's what's great about the Nashville airport.
I just wanted to call you and thank you
so, you know, good-bye, thank you and--
I'll hold.OK.
Hello?
Cremated. Don't you agree?
Heather, they really love him here.
They're not buying cremation.
They don't even acknowledge the word,
but I need to call you right back.
Is there anything more important
than the conversation we're having?
I will call you right back.
No problem. Just dial "hell" and I'll answer.
I'll call you right back.
I miss Dad.
Was he a fun guy?
Of course he was a fun guy,
especially in the last few years when you got so busy.
I'll call you right back.
[beep]
I know you're late for dinner.
I am late.
I'm in Kentucky.
Drew...
it was real, and it was great.
And it was really great.
Call me anytime.
OK? Good-bye.
It's just good-bye, you know?
It's not good-bye. It's...
It's just good-bye. Take care.
Good-bye.
[beep]
Hello?
Good Lord! Did I win the phone lottery?
Tell me about the Nashville Airport.
I'm over it.
I'm actually almost home now.
Were the roads as hellish as I told you?
Claire...
my dad's dead.
I know.
You knew?
I don't know a lot about everything,
but I do know a lot about the part of everything
that I know... which is people.
And I thought I was so mysterious.
Trust me,
everybody is less mysterious than they think they are.
And they all know me,
and I don't know any of them,
and I'd never seen a dead body before.
To have never taken a solitary road trip across country?
I mean,
everybody's gotta take a road trip
at least once in their lives.
Just you and some music.
You have no idea
of the sheer volume of my cousin's kid when he cries.
I mean, I think there is definitely a higher spirit.
But I agree, what's left behind, finally,
are the impressions you made on people.
[toilet flushes]
More important is to know where to go.
You haven't traveled at all, have you?
I just recently decided
that things really are black and white.
And so we all became helpers, which I still can't help.
I can't help helping.
OK, I'll drive back home,
at least part of the way.
I will take a road trip.
I was actually gonna go with Mitch next year.
Why am I calling him "Mitch"?
I spent so much time thinking about
all the answers to the problem
that I forget what the problem actually was.
If you're smart, you'll just wear your shoes and never ask any questions.
Just enjoy your footwear.
Do you ever just think,
"I'm fooling everybody?"
You have no idea.
Men see things in a box,
and then women see them in a round room.
Look at this. He was so young here.
Wow.
My mom.
Not the one they wanted him to marry.
They met in an elevator.
I think I've been asleep most of my life.
Me, too.
[Ryan Adams] â™ª Come pick me up â™ª
â™ª Take me out â™ª
â™ª Fuck me up â™ª
â™ª Steal my records â™ª
â™ª Screw all my friends â™ª

Good Lord!
â™ª And then do it again â™ª
â™ª I wish you would â™ª
Do you want to have a beer over the phone?
[music playing in distance]
Chuck and Cindy.
Cindy and Chuck.
Aha!
I am currently stealing...
Chuck and Cindy's wedding beer.
Ahem.
You're a friend of Chuck's, right?
Yes.
No, you're not.
I'm Chuck.
Of Chuck and Cindy?
Is that Chuck?
It's Chuck.
Who are you?
Drew Baylor. Your neighbor.
Oh, you--you're here for my wedding?No.
Business?
My dad died. I'm here for his funeral.
Ohh.
I'm sorry. I can't think--
That's hard.
It is hard, yeah.
No, no, no, please!Aw, shit.
Please! No, no, Chuck, no!
Chuck, no.
Chuck, please.
[sobbing]
Death and life and death and life.
Right next door to each other!
There's like, there's a hair between them.
Uhh!
We're here for the next 3 days.
If there's anything I can do for you...
here.
Chuck Hasboro.
Hi, Claire. Look,
if there's anything I can do for you guys, OK?
Anything!
Thank you, Chuck.
I love you, Claire.
OK.
It's all about family, bro.
Thank you, Chuck.
Uhh!
[music playing in distance]
[guests chanting] Chuck! Chuck!
But they say it will hit you.
It could be 10 minutes,
or it could be 10 years from now.
So it's good that you talk about it,
or don't talk about it.
Well, we have talked about it, but...
that's what they say.
That's what they say, huh?
Yes! That's what theysay.
I've always wondered this.
Who are "they"?
You know, "them."
Them. Mm-hmm.
The inimitable, collective "them."
And who says we're supposed to listen to them?
Theydo!
Doesn't your ear hurt?
Yes, it does,
and I have to get up in 2 hours and be charming.
Going to Hawaii.
You'll get there and have fun.
I'll get there and sleep.
It's just a little vacation I traded...
routes for.
I'll let you go.
Wait.
Um...
when will you be back?
Hello?
Still there?
Yeah.
I'm just wondering
if this whole thing is better on the phone.
So much better on the phone.
Maybe we should never face each other again.
I enjoyed this.
Hey, you're only 45 minutes away...
[laughs]
You want to meet halfway and see the sun rise?
At this point, it's probably easier to stay up.
You think so?
I think that's what "they" say.
Hey, you still with me?
[yawning] Yeah, I'm still here.
Take exit 43.
OK.
I see your headlights.
I see your red hat.
There you are.
Hello.
Hey.
Should we hang up now?
Follow me.
We peaked on the phone.
Yeah, I'm a little tired.
Yeah, me, too.

â™ª Well, I started out â™ª
â™ª Down a dirty road â™ª

â™ª Started out â™ª
[Drew] There's one right now.
Aloha.
â™ª All alone â™ª
Aloha.
â™ª And the sun went down â™ª
â™ª As across the hill â™ª
â™ª And the town lit up â™ª
â™ª And the world got still â™ª
â™ª I'm learning to fly â™ª

â™ª But I ain't got wings â™ª
â™ª Coming down â™ª
Aah!
What are you doing?
â™ª Is the hardest thing â™ª
Mom, are you sure?
Are you sure about the cre--
Are you sure about the cremation?
Honey, I don't know when I'm going to crash,
but as of right now, uh,
we are learning about the car, and I'm--I'm--
learning organic cooking, I'm going to tap dance,
and later on today,
I am going to fix the toilet.
It is 5 minutes at a time.
Do y'all know 'bout that, um--
out in California, how many people they cremate out there?
No, how many?80%, I read.
Get out!I'm not kidding you.
Mom, I think you need to slow down.
Look, everybody tells me that I should take sedatives,
but, hey, I am out here, and I am making things happen.
All forward motion counts.
Uh, sweetheart, when are you coming back?
There's a memorial this Saturday.
OK, and who's there, um,
helping you plan all this, sweetheart?
Uncle Dale and, uh, Bill Banyon.
Bill Banyon is there?
Bill Banyon? Yeah.
He is a con man.
He swindled your father out of thousands of dollars.
17 years ago, he did something which almost
ruined this family to its very core.
Mother-- Wrapping himself
in the nobility of your father's memory.
Are you--Boy, he's getting an earful.
Mother! Listen!
Focus!
Beware.
I know it's all very charming
with the pickled things in jars
and the Southern charm
and the hams that hang in the garage
until they're so covered with mold
you could grow penicillin on them, but I'm telling--
Are you sure about the cremation?
If Bill Banyon is there, definitely cremation!
And you-- you tell Bill Banyon
I'll be there.
[cell phone ringing "I Can't Get Next to You"]
Hello?
Aloha.
I talked to my friend Kendra
who, uh, had a girlfriend with a kid
who's exceedingly loud like Samson,
and she's given me a video tape
that works absolute miracles.
Hey, thanks, Claire.
What? You're already tired of me?
I just haven't slept. I'm sorry.
How's Hawaii?
Well...
I'm checking out this cute guy.
Why are you telling me that?
[bang]
How could I leave you in distress?
I'm taking you out.
I thought you were in--
What's this? Hawaii.
"When cremation is your preference"...
[man] I just got some brochures I want y'all to look at.
And these are some choices of urns available here
at the Cave Hill Cemetery.
You can take them home with you.

You're kind of great, Claire.
You do know that.
Sort of amazing, even.
Oh, come on!
I don't need an ice cream cone.
It's not an ice cream cone.
What's an ice cream cone?
You know,
here's a little something to make you happy.
Something sweet that melts in 5 minutes.
I'm completely cool
with anything you want to say or not say.
I don't need it.
Besides, Ben is coming in tomorrow.
Do you want to hear my theory?
Of course.
You and I have a special talent,
and I saw it immediately.
Tell me.
We're the substitute people.
Substitute people?
I've been the substitute person my whole life.
I'm not an Ellen--
I never wanted to be an Ellen.
And I'm not a Cindy, either.
Although Chucks love me.
I'm sure they do.
I like being alone too much.
I mean, I'm with a guy
who's married to his academic career.
I rarely see him.
And I'm the substitute person there.
I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure.
Here.
Play this for the loudest kid in the world.
I'm not used to girls like you.
That's because I'm one-of-a-kind.
You don't have to make a joke.
I like you without the jokes.
Get some sleep.
I have a personnel interview tomorrow morning,
and if I get transferred...
Ben will die.
[sighing]
[sighs]
[plastic thumping]
Didn't it just feel better
that we just didn't do something impulsive?
I mean-- Yes.
Hey.
Now we actually have a shot at being friends
for the rest of our lives.
The rest of our lives.
Hmm.
[children yelling]
OK, now for the celebration proper,
we got the military bands, the right mix of 7 speakers,
no crybabies.
It's official. Paul, Doug, and Rick are flying in from Florida.
Ruckus will reunite for this one evening.
Ahem.
How we doing on balloons?
I sent to Balloon City. I got a bunch of them.
And Drew, my casket did come in from Lexington.
And I got to tell you it's quite beautiful.
Look, Drew, I am getting the question constantly, OK?
Why isn't he buried in Elizabethtown?
It's not an insult to anybody here.
Well, is there such a thing as partial cremation?
Aah!
Bill Banyon, how can you even say such a thing?
I know you all love my dad.
You can't dismiss my mother's wishes.
And we're not from California.
Jesse, can you do something about your son?
Yeah. All right.
A couple good ass-kickings might be in line.
I think what Charles Dean wants to say--
I know what he's saying.
You all have different versions of him that you love a lot.
This is ours.
My family's record of the last thing
he said on the subject.
That's the plan.
That is the way it's going to be, guys.
Sprinkled at sea!
[yelling]
And that's the decision from California!
Shit.
Oregon.
We really are from Oregon.
Randy, don't make me come spank you.
Leave him alone!
Jesse, I have something for you.
[yelling]
We're going to watch this.
One second.
Hi.
My name's Rusty.
I helped build this house a long time ago.
But wood-eating insects, called termites,
have compromised the integrity of this once-fine structure.
What's that sound?
So, today...
I'm going to blow it up.
Silence.
Now, if I blow this house up,
will you promise to behave
and mind your mommy and daddy?
[all] Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah.
Yes! Yes!
Good.
Let's blow it up.
[Rusty] Joe, we ready to go?
[man on radio] Yeah, Rusty. Light it up.
3...
2...
1.
Whoo!
Now let's build a new house.
Thank you...
for taking an interest in Jesse.
Feels good, doesn't it?
It's like Mitch is here.
I can see Mitch right now.
So proud...
in that blue suit.
Can't you?
Stop the cremation!
Stop the cremation!What the hell's going on, man?
Hold on, wait right here.
I'm sorry.
Here's your dad, man.
It takes a year and a half to plan a wedding properly.
It does.
Are you serious? Yes.
This is Claire.
I feel like I've known her my whole life.
[girls chattering]
Is that...
Hey, Mitch.
So what happened to Ben?
Ahh.
There was a storm in Georgia.
They grounded all the planes.
And he doesn't like to fly.
And--And now they want him to speak at some trustees' event.
Trot out some big ideas.
Claire, I want to see you on the tour of Maker's Mark
tomorrow at 10 A.M., sharp.
All right. All right?
I love this girl! I love this girl!
Whoo!
You look great.
Oh, I'm a mess.
You're crazy, Claire. You look amazing.
Thank you.And this dress...
Did well on the personnel interview, though.
Right.
The interview. I forgot.
I know. I'm impossible to forget,
but I'm hard to remember.
Drew!
Loving life. Loving you.
[upbeat music plays]
Hey, missed you at the rehearsal dinner.
[all chanting "Chuck"]
Claire? Yeah?
Let's show Mitch the site of his memorial.OK.
[all chanting "Chuck"]
"Chuck and Cindy, the wedding."
[chuckles]
There you go, Dad.
Welcome to the annual meeting
of people who...annually meet.
[Drew claps]
And we'll see y'all again next year.Very nice.
Come on.
I'm just going to say right now what we're not saying
and let the chips fall.
Let the chips fall.
Let the chips fall where they may.
Yes, yes. I may be embarrassing myself,
but I'm just going to say it.
I like you!
What?
I think you should eat something.
[laughs]
I have been starving myself all week long...
For Ben.And I'm gonna eat.
We'll eat in my room.
Oh, room service? Ooh.
I want cheese
and cheese-related things--
No, eggs and fries, with cheese on everything.
Cheese it is.Cheese and Coca-Cola.
[chuckles]
And don't worry, because as great
as you look tonight, you are safe with me.
'Course it's safe.
It's a full moon.
I look good.
You do look good.
I'm wearing these clothes, I mean--
Have you ever had unlucky clothes?
This dress that you like?
Good things have not happened to me in this dress.
But I saw it tonight, and I said,
"I'm gonna give you one more chance."
And I refuse to be let down by this dress again.
[laughs]
Oh, anyway, forget all that.
You're here,
and we're together,
and it's a get-out-of-jail-free card.
It's almost midnight.
Life cannot be so cruel that we don't deserve
to be together...
to eat.
[sighs]
Hi, Chuck.
Hey, Cindy.
[giggles]
Wait.
Where's Mitch?
I left him in the ballroom.
I'm sorry Ben missed the flight.
He forgot?
No storm in Georgia.
No...trustees.
No big ideas.
What a fuckin' jerk.He's not a jerk.
He's a brilliant man who gives himself permission
to be preoccupied.
Come on.
You know, there is nothing greater
than deciding in your life
that things maybe really are black and white.
And this guy, Ben,
who clearly takes you for granted,
who serially takes advantage of you, is bad.
And what I am saying is good.
See what I mean?
You shouldn't be the substitute for anybody.
This guy should be right here,
right now,
doing this.
Maybe so.
He's lucky I'm not the right person for you.
I know why it's not you,
but just tell me so...
I can see it from your perspective.
See, I know what you deserve.
What do I deserve?
You deserve...
a guy who says...
"I can't imagine a world without you.
We will start a winery when we are 70.
We will snowboard every December,
and one year, take our kids."
Hmm.
"And we will always have the twin red Lexuses
with the license plates reading 'Chuck' and 'Cindy.'"
You deserve all this.
And more.
It's not you, I know.
Please don't take this as rejection.
[whispers] I really don't.
[glasses rattle]
[Claire giggles]
[Drew] Ben's very lucky.
All we did was kiss.
[Claire] Most of the sex I've had in my life...
was not as personal as that kiss.
[music playing on television]
[grunting]
I'm putting on my shoes now.
[stomps]
Oops! Excuse me.
[whispering] Sorry.
[crash]Hmm?
I'm walking out the door...
in last night's clothes.
Hey, Claire!
Don't leave! Stay!
Let's have breakfast!
[grunts]
I will miss your lips and everything attached to them.
See ya, Mitch.
[girls shouting]
I love that dress!
Claire, you slut!
Claire, swear to God! Claire!
Yeah, Claire!
Hey!
Wait up!
Just tell me you love me and get it over with.
Claire, I'm just gonna say this,
because you deserve it.
It's not easy for me,
but... here goes.
4 days ago...
I lost...
a major American shoe company...
frankly, you could round it off
to 1 billion dollars.
And by tomorrow afternoon,
everyone will know.
Something's going to be published
that pinpoints me as the most
spectacular failure in the history
of my profession, which is all I know how to do.
And I've been here this whole time
tryin' to be responsible and charming,
and live up to this success
that doesn't exist.
All I really want...
is to not...
be here.
I'm sorry.
I have a very dark
appointment with destiny.
That's my secret.
That's who I am.
That's it?
Yes, that's it.
I'm sorry.
Oh, I guess I just thought a small part of you
might be a small bit sad to see me go,
but I guess this is all mostly about a shoe?
Of course I'm sad about you,
but this is just a little bit bigger
than you and me, and by the way,
I didn't say million, I said billion!
[chuckles]
A billion dollars.
That's a lot of million.
So you failed.
No, you don't get it.
All right.
You really failed.
You failed, you failed,
you failed.
You failed. You failed.
You failed, you failed, you failed.
You failed, you failed, you failed, you failed, you--
You think I care about that?
I do understand.
You're an artist, man.
Your job is to break through barriers,
not accept blame, and bow, and say,
"Thank you. I'm a loser. I'll go away now."
"Oh, Phil's mean to me." Whaa, whaa, whaa. So what?
I don't cry.
You want to be really great?
Then have the courage to fail big
and stick around.
Make 'em wonder why you're still smilin'.
That's true greatness to me.
But...
don't listen to me.
I'm a Claire.
Well, thank you, Claire.
You're welcome.
Now would you quit tryin' to break up with me?
You are always tryin' to break up with me,
and we're not even together.
I know.
Wait.
We're not?
Of course not.
We're the substitute people, remember?
I'll see you at Mitch's memorial, if I can make it.
[dull music playing]
All right, when I give you the signal,
pull the pulley slowly across.
All right, slow and soulful.
Will do. Slow and soulful.
[crowd] Hollie.
[Dale] Hollie.
[Hollie] It's really good to see you.
You look more beautiful than ever.
Thank you. Sit down.
Thanks.
Mitch wrote letters.
Never once sent an e-mail.
He was always there for me.
Where are you, Mitch?
And I loved him.
And y'all know that.
[sobs]
I loved him.
Even though he moved to California...
[sighs] God love him,
he always came back to his roots.
And I will miss his laugh.
I don't have anything funny to say.
And I don't have a funny story to tell.
I will tell you it wasn't easy
for Mitch to leave the military
and start over again in California.
[crowd murmuring]
And I apologize, per se,
for my role in that deal, per se.
And to all of you who put
this evening together,
it has gone beautifully.
And thank you.
[whispers] Lena, it hasn't hit him yet.
[whispers] Oh, it will. It will.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Hollie Baylor.
[crowd murmuring]
I want you to stay awake for this, all right?
[sighs]
I'm a little nervous.
But here we are.
It's been a while.
Ohh.
There was the shorthand of a long marriage.
We were complete opposites, and it worked.
Um,
the plan was to send...
my son to represent the family.
I was terrified that you would look at me
and see that woman from California
who...took him away.
Even though we only lived in California as a family
for 18 months 27 years ago. Heh!
I always...
felt it.
All because...
I was standing in an elevator in Tokyo,
and this handsome captain walked in, and--
on his way home to Elizabethtown--
and he was engaged,
and so was I,
and, um...
somehow I hijacked him and took him to Disneyland.
But something happened between us
that was not part of the plan.
We were in love.
[microphone feedback]
Let me tell you a little bit about life without Mitch.
I, uh, wanted to get to know about Mitch's car,
and it actually ate me.
I went to the bank,
and the teller looked at me strangely,
and I got home, and I looked at myself
in the mirror, and my face was still green
from a facial mask that I had forgotten to take off.
And I called our insurance man of 30 years,
whose son Mitch had actually helped
to get into West Point, to tell him that
Mitch was gone.
He didn't call me back for 2 days.
Uh-huh.
The car, the bank,
the, um, insurance man, the world--
I mean, nobody truly cared.
Not like us.
I always wanted to learn to tap dance,
so I took tap dance lessons,
and I wanted to learn--yep, I did.
And I wanted to learn to cook organically,
and so I attempted that.
And, uh--I, uh...
I fixed the toilet.
[laughter]
Yep, all by myself.
[applause]
And...
I wanted to learn to laugh.
Why couldn't I be funnier when Mitch was alive?
But, you know, I figured it out.
It takes time to be funny,
and it takes time to extract joy from life.
So I enrolled in comedy school.
[laughter]
It's-- Yeah, I did.
And-- I know, I know.
I was the oldest one in the class, thank you.
And, uh, we were told to, um, tell a story,
something true, something that really happened to us.
So I got up there,
and I talked about my husband
and the love he left behind.
A few days after Mitch died,
I was walking through the yard,
and I saw our neighbor,
who was a very good friend of Mitch's, Bob.
And he saw me coming through the gate, and, um...
he said, "I am so sorry... for your loss."
And I knew that he needed to feel that loss, too,
and to share it, and I wanted to help him,
and he-he put his arms around me.
He cradled me.
And his embrace tightened.
Finally, here was somebody who truly cared.
And then...
I felt something... else.
[embarrassed laughter]
Something... huge.
[laughter]
Let's just say it. Let's just say it.
A boner!
[hysterical laughter]
A boner!
That's--That's what I get--
That's what I get for tryin' to do everything myself.
Boner Bob, my neighbor.
Oh, dear.
He rooted for all of you.
I love you.
This is for you. Your favorite song.
On a Saturday night.
["Moon River" playing]
Well, you really brought everybody together.
I'll give you that.
[footsteps]
I have this thing for you.
It's a very unique map.
It's for your road trip home.
Right. A map.
You promised, remember?
No. No, I do. I remember.
[band playing "Freebird"]
This is for you, Mitch.
â™ª If I leave here Tomorrow... â™ª
"Freebird," huh?
Well, I better get back to-- Ben.
He finally made it.
Does Ben even exist?
[chuckles]
Just...
Just...call me when you get home.
And not until.
I want you to get into the deep,
beautiful melancholy
of everything that's happened.
It's a great map.
â™ª Lord, I can't change â™ª
[screaming]
â™ª Won't you fly â™ª
â™ª Freebird â™ª
â™ª Yeah â™ª
Whoo!
Whoo! Ha ha!
Jessie!Just keep going.
Aah!
Oh, my God!
Come on, this way!
You have to get out of here!
Please come this way.
I am a licensed flight attendant!
Use this exit, please!
[Drew] As a specialist in the field of last looks...
this one was pretty iconically Claire.
Friends and neighbors, we are gathered here
to say our final good-byes to...
a dear friend--
Mitch.
Ow.
[metal screeches]
[all gasp]
[creaking]
[all gasp]
[creaking]
[crash]
Come on, General.

with accompanying music and detailed instructions
would take 42 hours
and 11 minutes.

â™ª Shot down in May â™ª
â™ª But I know â™ª
â™ª I'm gonna change That tune â™ª
[Drew] She had laid out the entire road trip
and timed it to music she herself had put on CDs.
â™ª Said that's life â™ª
[Drew] The songs, of course,
were classic mix-tape songs.
About her, of course.
And the rich flurry of our almost romance.
["Hard Times" by Eastmountainsouth playing]
â™ª Oh, hard times â™ª
â™ª Come again no more â™ª
â™ª 'Tis a song, a sigh... â™ª
[Drew] 60B.
[man on tape] I preach, my dear friends,
you're about to receive on John Barleycorn,
nicotine and the temptations of Eve.
["Let It Out" by the Hombres playing]
[Claire] This is the Hombres.
â™ª No parking By the sewer sign â™ª
â™ª Hot dog, my razor broke â™ª
â™ª Water drippin' Up the spout â™ª
â™ª But I don't care Let it all hang out â™ª
[Drew] And she had even provided music
for what would happen next.
Down to the minute.
[ominous classical music playing]
[Claire] You have 5 minutes
to wallow in the delicious misery.
Enjoy it, embrace it,
discard it...
and proceed.
["Sugar Blue" by Jeff Finlin playing]
â™ª All those songs And railroad ends â™ª
[Claire] Here is a river
leading to the Mississippi.
[Drew] "This is America," she wrote.
"And if everybody gets a vote
where their Mitch gets buried...
here are a few where myMitch gets buried.
Or scattered."
â™ª Holding darkness Up to the light â™ª
â™ª The other side Shows through â™ª
â™ª The raven's song It breaks the night â™ª
[Claire] Pause for 30 minutes
for the greatest chili in the world.
And elsewhere in Memphis...
["Yeah Man" by Eddie Hinton playing]
â™ª Have you ever needed Someone to talk to? â™ª
â™ª Darlin', you're not sure â™ª
â™ª What you ought to do â™ª
[Claire] This would be a good time
to stop in at Earnestine & Hazel's
and say hello to Russ.How you doin'?
He's hung on to the place for 38 long years.
He'll tell you a few stories.
[indistinct]
â™ª Yeah, man Don't you know â™ª
â™ª I'm talking about it â™ª
â™ª Yeah, man â™ª
Look at this.
That's the blues!
[Claire] And just around the corner,
the Lorraine Motel.
["Pride [In the Name of Love"] by U2 playing]
[Claire] the hotel balcony where Martin Luther King
drew his last breath.
â™ª One man come In the name of love â™ª
â™ª One man come and go â™ª
â™ª One man come here To justify â™ª
â™ª One man to overthrow â™ª
â™ª In the name of love â™ª
â™ª One more In the name of love â™ª
â™ª In the name of love â™ª
â™ª One more... â™ª
[Claire] His death was only the beginning of his victory.
Go across the bridge traversing Mark Twain's muse,
Jeff Buckley's funeral bed,
as the night air whips through your hair,
around your face, and out the other window.
You can feel the soul of that dark water
even as you arrive on the other side.
["Words" by Ryan Adams playing]
â™ª Don't worry up Your mind â™ª
â™ª People are sick And mean sometimes â™ª
â™ª Don't worry up Your mind â™ª
â™ª They're only words â™ª
â™ª It's only words â™ª
["Don't I Hold You" by Wheat playing]
[Claire] Some music needs air.
Roll down your window.
â™ª Don't I hold you â™ª
â™ª Like you want to be held? â™ª
â™ª And don't I treat you â™ª
â™ª Like you want â™ª
All right! I love you, Dad.
I love you too. Where you want to go?
Tucky. Kentucky?
â™ª Don't I love you Like you want â™ª
â™ª To be loved? â™ª
â™ª You're running away â™ª
â™ª What's your name? â™ª
â™ª Like I'm in the way â™ª
[Claire] Good morning.
How you doin'?
["What Are They Doing in Heaven Today" by Washington Phillips playing]
â™ª What are they doin' In heaven today? â™ª
â™ª My sin and sorrow â™ª
â™ª Are all done away â™ª
[Claire] The survivor tree.
It's my favorite tree in the world.
And I like trees.
â™ª What are they doing Right now? â™ª
["Square One" by Tom Petty playing]
â™ª You can say What you don't know â™ª
[Phil] "This once highly-anticipated product
may actually cause an entire generation
to return to bare feet."
[Claire] Sadness is easier because it's surrender.
I say, make time to dance alone...
with one hand waving free.
â™ª Square one, My slate is clear â™ª
â™ª Rest your head On me, my dear â™ª
â™ª It took a world Of trouble â™ª
â™ª Took a world of tears â™ª
â™ª It took a long time â™ª
â™ª To get back here â™ª
["My Father's Gun" by Elton John playing]
Look at us.
You with your many almost-great projects, me with my fiasco.
Oh, God.
â™ª As soon as This is over... â™ª
Both of us working so hard.
For what?
â™ª Demand the seeds Of justice â™ª
â™ª In our bones... â™ª
We should have taken this trip years ago.
â™ª To watch The children growing â™ª
â™ª And see The women sewing... â™ª
And the fact that I want to go home and kill myself
is really not your fault.
For what? For Phil?
No!
â™ª I'd like to know â™ª
â™ª Where the riverboat Sails tonight â™ª
[inaudible]
â™ª To New Orleans Well, that's just fine â™ª
â™ª All right â™ª
â™ª 'Cause There's fighting there â™ª
â™ª And the company Needs men â™ª
â™ª Oh, I said, oh, I said â™ª
â™ª Slip us a rope â™ª
â™ª And sail On 'round the bend â™ª
â™ª Oh, I'd like to know â™ª
â™ª Where the riverboat â™ª
â™ª The riverboat, The riverboat sails â™ª
â™ª Tonight â™ª
â™ª To New Orleans â™ª

[Claire] Don't get lost.
Proceed to the second largest
farmers' market in the world...
located on the second largest
Farmer's Market in the World Boulevard,
for some essentials
for the rest of your journey home.
["English Girls Approximately" by Ryan Adams playing]
â™ª The English girls Are pretty â™ª
â™ª When they play guitar â™ª
â™ª Crazy like a day Just a-breaking â™ª
â™ª I ain't sure what for â™ª
â™ª Said you didn't Love me... â™ª
[Claire] Go to the pet area.
Look inside the book about Springer spaniels.
â™ª Said you didn't love me Didn't want a thing â™ª
â™ª English girls Can be so mean â™ª
[Claire] Find a pair of Spasmoticas on display,
and look inside.
Here you have reached a fork in the map.
You can go to your car, and the rest of the directions
will take you home.
Or...
look for a girl in a red hat
who's waiting for you with an alternate plan.
[Drew] No true fiasco ever began
as a quest for mere adequacy.
A motto of the British
Special Service Air Force is...
"Those who risk, win."
A single green vine shoot
is able to grow through cement.
The Pacific Northwestern salmon
beats itself bloody on its quest
to travel hundreds of miles upstream,
against the current,
with a single purpose...
sex, of course.
But also...
life.
