1
00:00:02,861 --> 00:00:05,170
So yeah, I'm throwing
a Cat-A-Versary party,
2
00:00:05,322 --> 00:00:07,673
because the café's been
open a year, can you believe it?
3
00:00:07,866 --> 00:00:09,324
It's a fundraiser
for the Humane Society.
4
00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:10,584
There'll be cats in costumes
5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,177
and a photo booth
and kettle corn.
6
00:00:12,370 --> 00:00:14,680
Kettle corn? You should have led
with that. I'm in.
7
00:00:14,873 --> 00:00:16,923
Great. So, uh...
8
00:00:17,076 --> 00:00:18,166
how's tall and grumpy doing?
9
00:00:18,185 --> 00:00:20,077
Oh, he's a pure delight
around me,
10
00:00:20,137 --> 00:00:21,795
but when I mentioned you
earlier,
11
00:00:21,947 --> 00:00:23,838
he clenched his fist so hard
he broke the soda gun.
12
00:00:23,899 --> 00:00:26,692
Well, I am undeterred.
13
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,656
Hey, Max, I-I'd love to see you
at my Cat-A-Versary party.
14
00:00:34,910 --> 00:00:38,353
Uh, Carter's gonna be there,
my mom's coming.
15
00:00:38,414 --> 00:00:40,355
She's auditioning
for the musical Cats
16
00:00:40,458 --> 00:00:42,207
at the community theater,
so she's been spending
17
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:44,935
a lot of time at the café
to research cat behavior.
18
00:00:44,995 --> 00:00:48,088
Here's your coffee, Mother.
19
00:00:50,885 --> 00:00:52,776
Look, I get that you're
still upset with me
20
00:00:52,836 --> 00:00:54,553
for reaching out
to your ex-girlfriend
21
00:00:54,704 --> 00:00:56,555
while on sleeping medication
not prescribed to me, but--
22
00:00:56,724 --> 00:00:58,782
Oh, men's room? Ha.
23
00:00:58,842 --> 00:01:01,785
Still undeterred.
24
00:01:01,804 --> 00:01:04,813
Deterred.
Definitely deterred.
25
00:01:07,276 --> 00:01:09,884
-Wow, that looks amazing.
-Thanks.
26
00:01:09,904 --> 00:01:12,404
I've been doing squats.
27
00:01:12,597 --> 00:01:15,890
Katharine, please help me
get this feline off my lap.
28
00:01:15,951 --> 00:01:18,969
Oh, Mr. Mousekers never
falls asleep in someone's lap.
29
00:01:18,987 --> 00:01:20,245
Well, he's been here
quite a while, and now
30
00:01:20,397 --> 00:01:21,729
I have to use the ladies' room,
and his weight
31
00:01:21,791 --> 00:01:23,824
is pressing on my bladder.
32
00:01:23,976 --> 00:01:25,066
Please don't bring up
his weight.
33
00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:27,586
He just got his confidence
back up.
34
00:01:27,779 --> 00:01:30,047
Mr. Mousekers...
35
00:01:31,616 --> 00:01:32,666
Uh-oh.
36
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,908
What's wrong?
37
00:01:33,969 --> 00:01:36,486
-Mommy?
-Yes?
38
00:01:37,473 --> 00:01:41,174
-I don't think Mr. Mousekers
is sleeping.
-Oh...
39
00:01:41,268 --> 00:01:43,827
Well, I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,
40
00:01:43,887 --> 00:01:45,920
but the oven just crapped out.
41
00:01:45,981 --> 00:01:48,774
I mean, honestly,
can you think of anything worse
42
00:01:48,967 --> 00:01:52,653
to happen before our
Cat-A-Versary party?
43
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:56,198
♪
44
00:02:00,121 --> 00:02:03,513
Kat, he was old,
but you gave him a great life.
45
00:02:03,532 --> 00:02:05,182
Every time he would lay
on your laptop,
46
00:02:05,242 --> 00:02:07,275
you would just stop working
so he could sleep there.
47
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:09,536
PHIL: And then you bought him
his own computer
48
00:02:09,630 --> 00:02:10,796
so he could lay right by you.
49
00:02:10,989 --> 00:02:12,923
Which I'd like to call dibs on.
50
00:02:13,801 --> 00:02:15,950
Not the time.
51
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:17,861
I just have that same
heavy feeling in my heart
52
00:02:17,921 --> 00:02:20,197
that I had when my dad died.
53
00:02:20,215 --> 00:02:21,956
And, disturbing coincidence,
they both died
54
00:02:22,017 --> 00:02:23,700
on top of my mother.
55
00:02:25,170 --> 00:02:28,388
Well, just remind yourself
it's a cat and not a person.
56
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:30,023
Uh-oh.
57
00:02:32,636 --> 00:02:34,486
Yeah, I know it's a cat
and not a person.
58
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,304
A cat that I loved very deeply.
59
00:02:36,323 --> 00:02:38,048
The first cat I rescued.
60
00:02:38,108 --> 00:02:40,384
The only cat who knew how
to pee on a potty.
61
00:02:40,402 --> 00:02:41,827
And do you know who
taught him to do that?
62
00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:44,554
No one. He learned just by
observing human behavior.
63
00:02:44,573 --> 00:02:46,056
He was that smart.
64
00:02:46,158 --> 00:02:49,168
Okay, I'm sorry.
That came out wrong.
65
00:02:49,319 --> 00:02:52,045
I'm just-- I'm gonna go upstairs
for a little bit.
66
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:54,840
Alone.
67
00:02:56,293 --> 00:02:58,660
Randi, I'm having Mr. Mousekers
cremated.
68
00:02:58,721 --> 00:03:01,588
(whispering):
Can you pick up his ashes
later today?
69
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:03,348
There's nothing I'd rather do.
70
00:03:03,541 --> 00:03:06,518
Well, there are some things,
but once again, not the time.
71
00:03:06,711 --> 00:03:08,261
And I'm gonna cancel the party.
72
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:10,430
I don't even care
if I don't get my deposit back
73
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,708
on that ice cat sculpture.
74
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:14,918
I didn't want
to burst her bubble,
75
00:03:14,978 --> 00:03:17,587
but I'm the one
who taught that cat to pee
76
00:03:17,689 --> 00:03:19,948
on the terlet.
77
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:26,930
Ooh, this is a nice surprise.
78
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:28,782
A hot chick and a gift?
79
00:03:28,918 --> 00:03:30,934
A hot chick, yes.
Gift, no.
80
00:03:30,953 --> 00:03:32,436
These are Mr. Mousekers' ashes.
81
00:03:32,496 --> 00:03:34,379
The pet crematorium is
only two blocks away,
82
00:03:34,531 --> 00:03:36,030
so I figured I'd stop by.
83
00:03:36,091 --> 00:03:38,275
You didn't figure you should
leave those in the car?
84
00:03:38,293 --> 00:03:40,777
No way! What if
his cat ghost got out
85
00:03:40,837 --> 00:03:42,221
and started haunting my car,
86
00:03:42,372 --> 00:03:44,223
changing my radio presets
to smooth jazz?
87
00:03:44,391 --> 00:03:47,059
Great, now I'm thinking
about a dead cat
88
00:03:47,252 --> 00:03:48,785
more than I'm thinking about
stuff that we're not
89
00:03:48,845 --> 00:03:50,229
supposed to talk about
in front of our friends.
90
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:52,397
So you're complaining that
I stopped by?
91
00:03:52,590 --> 00:03:55,192
Get in here with your dead cat.
92
00:03:59,055 --> 00:04:00,722
I came up to bring you
some dinner
93
00:04:00,783 --> 00:04:03,391
and to tell you I think you
should go ahead with the party.
94
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:08,062
Oh, I can't.
I've suffered a great loss.
95
00:04:08,123 --> 00:04:10,398
I'm also still really upset
that Oscar
96
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:13,401
felt the need to point out
that animals are not people.
97
00:04:13,462 --> 00:04:15,829
I mean, obviously,
if my house was burning down,
98
00:04:15,923 --> 00:04:17,589
and I could only grab
the baby or the cat,
99
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:19,073
you know what I'd do.
100
00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:21,260
-Grab the baby?
-What baby, Phil?!
101
00:04:21,453 --> 00:04:23,487
The imaginary baby?
102
00:04:23,505 --> 00:04:26,172
No, I'd grab the real cats.
All of them.
103
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:29,083
Okay, I know you're in mourning,
but where I come from,
104
00:04:29,144 --> 00:04:33,087
even a funeral is a big party
to celebrate someone's life.
105
00:04:33,148 --> 00:04:34,848
You know, connect with
each other
106
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,334
over memories of the one
we lost.
107
00:04:37,394 --> 00:04:40,837
In my family,
we called them "fun-erals,"
108
00:04:40,897 --> 00:04:42,856
Fun-erals?
109
00:04:43,008 --> 00:04:44,449
Yeah, we'd all get together,
eat food,
110
00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:47,786
we'd sing hymns with
the Crumpler Bluegrass Band.
111
00:04:47,979 --> 00:04:51,865
Well, that's nice, Phil,
but I just--
112
00:04:52,017 --> 00:04:54,351
-I don't think I'm there yet.
-Oh.
113
00:04:54,411 --> 00:04:58,188
Also, your relentless positivity
is annoying me a little bit.
114
00:04:58,248 --> 00:04:59,873
Well, roger that.
115
00:05:00,025 --> 00:05:02,801
I'll check on you tomorrow.
116
00:05:05,055 --> 00:05:07,864
-(knock on door)
-Still open, Phil.
117
00:05:07,924 --> 00:05:09,933
MAX:
Hey.
118
00:05:11,570 --> 00:05:13,312
Hey...
119
00:05:19,144 --> 00:05:20,944
Heard about Mr. Mousekers.
120
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,324
Remember when my dog Winston
died back in college?
121
00:05:25,517 --> 00:05:28,142
We stayed up all night
and told Winston stories.
122
00:05:28,162 --> 00:05:30,220
I remember we polished off
a bottle of bourbon,
123
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:33,498
and I fell asleep with my legs
sticking out of your doggy door
124
00:05:33,691 --> 00:05:34,982
because I was so hot.
125
00:05:35,044 --> 00:05:37,318
Well, I'm here to
return the favor.
126
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:38,986
-Oh.
-It's the good stuff.
127
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:42,215
Don't mention it to Carter.
I told him I dropped it.
128
00:05:44,994 --> 00:05:46,403
And then he jumped up
on the couch
129
00:05:46,463 --> 00:05:48,088
and dropped that little
felt mouse in my lap.
130
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,256
And I was actually having
a crappy day and I thought,
131
00:05:50,351 --> 00:05:53,167
"Thanks, dude, that helps."
(chuckles)
132
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:54,853
He did that to me once
with a real mouse
133
00:05:55,046 --> 00:05:57,080
with its head chewed off.
134
00:05:57,099 --> 00:05:58,582
I thought, well,
it's the thought that counts.
135
00:05:59,476 --> 00:06:02,752
Well, chewed mice aside,
sometimes I think animals are
136
00:06:02,854 --> 00:06:04,379
better than people.
137
00:06:04,381 --> 00:06:07,366
Or at least easier
to get along with.
138
00:06:09,986 --> 00:06:11,761
I wish a million times over
139
00:06:11,822 --> 00:06:13,763
that I hadn't contacted
Brigitte.
140
00:06:13,824 --> 00:06:16,950
She forwarded me
the e-mail you sent her.
141
00:06:17,102 --> 00:06:19,436
It was actually very
complimentary.
142
00:06:19,496 --> 00:06:21,955
Some of it was... (laughs)
143
00:06:22,049 --> 00:06:24,216
...was in Old English.
144
00:06:24,385 --> 00:06:25,942
You kept saying
I was "a truepenny"
145
00:06:26,002 --> 00:06:27,777
and "straight-fingered."
146
00:06:27,838 --> 00:06:29,963
I was so out of it.
147
00:06:30,115 --> 00:06:32,298
I even sent an e-mail
to the government
148
00:06:32,393 --> 00:06:35,118
asking for jury duty.
149
00:06:35,178 --> 00:06:36,728
Luckily it didn't go through
150
00:06:36,921 --> 00:06:39,547
'cause I had just typed in,
"To Government."
151
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:42,125
(both laugh)
152
00:06:42,144 --> 00:06:45,737
Hey, at least now I know
where Brigitte stands.
153
00:06:45,889 --> 00:06:47,555
And it is kind of freeing.
154
00:06:47,658 --> 00:06:51,225
That's exactly how I felt
when you rejected me. Free!
155
00:06:51,286 --> 00:06:53,486
Well, let me know if you ever
need me to reject you again.
156
00:06:53,580 --> 00:06:56,322
Yeah, I don't think I'll ever
need you to do that again,
157
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:57,916
but thanks for the offer.
158
00:06:58,067 --> 00:07:00,252
You know I'm kidding, right?
159
00:07:00,421 --> 00:07:01,903
Of course I know you're kidding.
160
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:04,256
It's what we do.
We kid.
161
00:07:09,287 --> 00:07:10,654
Wow, it is late.
162
00:07:10,672 --> 00:07:11,821
I should-I should probably go.
163
00:07:11,923 --> 00:07:12,914
Yeah, me, too.
164
00:07:12,975 --> 00:07:14,007
Uh, you live here.
165
00:07:14,159 --> 00:07:15,976
Yeah, that sounds about right.
166
00:07:17,980 --> 00:07:20,680
All right, I just need to grab
one part out of the truck
167
00:07:20,774 --> 00:07:23,257
-and you will be good to go.
-Will I?
168
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:25,277
'Cause you've been working
on that oven for five hours.
169
00:07:25,470 --> 00:07:27,187
I'm beginning to think
you're the one
170
00:07:27,322 --> 00:07:28,688
missing a part, Ray.
171
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:30,449
Hey, ovens are like women.
172
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,009
You can't always get 'em to cook
when you want 'em to.
173
00:07:33,069 --> 00:07:35,620
I bet your wife loves
crawling into bed with you
174
00:07:35,813 --> 00:07:37,622
after you make comments
like that.
175
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:39,866
Joke's on you, I'm divorced.
176
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,794
Hey, Phil. Oh, Ray,
is the oven working?
177
00:07:42,946 --> 00:07:44,854
No, but Ray is working
my nerves.
178
00:07:44,956 --> 00:07:47,023
Don't listen to this
little doughboy.
179
00:07:47,042 --> 00:07:48,950
Thems are fighting words, Ray!
180
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:51,544
No, these are fighting words.
I don't think your mama used
181
00:07:51,697 --> 00:07:52,787
enough yeast when she made you,
182
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,288
'cause you never finished
rising.
183
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,716
Don't you talk about
my mama's yeast!
184
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:57,976
Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa!
185
00:07:58,169 --> 00:08:00,053
Gentlemen, we could all be dead
186
00:08:00,205 --> 00:08:01,888
in someone's lap tomorrow;
let's not fight.
187
00:08:01,982 --> 00:08:04,390
Ray, can you fix the oven
by tomorrow?
188
00:08:04,543 --> 00:08:06,376
I can fix it before that
as long as doughboy stays
189
00:08:06,436 --> 00:08:07,969
in his can.
190
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:11,047
-Hey, leave Phil alone.
-Yeah, leave Phil alone!!
191
00:08:11,107 --> 00:08:12,991
I have such a crush on him.
192
00:08:13,184 --> 00:08:15,568
What? You were just fighting
with him.
193
00:08:15,721 --> 00:08:17,829
Yeah, fighting my feelings
for him.
194
00:08:18,022 --> 00:08:19,981
I don't know what is
going on, Kat,
195
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,741
but when he showed up
to fix that oven,
196
00:08:21,893 --> 00:08:25,653
something deep inside of me said
we were meant to be together.
197
00:08:25,756 --> 00:08:29,991
I'm very interested,
very invested,
198
00:08:30,052 --> 00:08:32,418
but can we table that for now?
199
00:08:32,554 --> 00:08:34,346
Sure.
200
00:08:34,539 --> 00:08:37,257
I came in to tell you
that the party is back on.
201
00:08:37,351 --> 00:08:39,017
But I'm changing it
to a fun-eral.
202
00:08:39,210 --> 00:08:41,502
You were right.
Loss can connect people.
203
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:42,854
It got me and Max
talking again.
204
00:08:43,047 --> 00:08:45,190
I am so happy to hear that.
205
00:08:45,341 --> 00:08:48,418
Maybe if I dust my banjo off,
I can get you and Max to sing
206
00:08:48,436 --> 00:08:51,254
some of my favorite hymns
at the fun-eral.
207
00:08:51,356 --> 00:08:53,031
I would be honored.
208
00:08:53,182 --> 00:08:54,533
All right, I'm gonna go
to the craft store
209
00:08:54,684 --> 00:08:56,092
and get some supplies
for a memorial board.
210
00:08:56,152 --> 00:08:58,019
I might even pick up
a new 3-D jigsaw puzzle
211
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,187
'cause I've been through a lot
and I think I deserve it.
212
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:02,766
Randi, did you get
Mr. Mousekers' ashes?
213
00:09:02,826 --> 00:09:05,769
Yeah, I got 'em.
I got 'em.
214
00:09:05,829 --> 00:09:07,437
Are you sure?
'Cause you said that like
215
00:09:07,497 --> 00:09:08,438
maybe you don't got 'em.
216
00:09:08,540 --> 00:09:09,714
I said, yeah, I got 'em,
217
00:09:09,866 --> 00:09:11,457
and then I repeated
"I got 'em"
218
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:15,128
upstairs in my purse, 'cause
that's where I got 'em at.
219
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:18,615
Okay, great. Uh, Phil, get her
up to speed on the fun-eral.
220
00:09:18,675 --> 00:09:22,978
If it's a fun funeral,
I'm up to speed.
221
00:09:24,731 --> 00:09:27,381
Hey, I think I left my box
of cat ashes
222
00:09:27,401 --> 00:09:29,050
at your house last night.
223
00:09:29,111 --> 00:09:31,218
Yeah, you did, which explains
why Mr. Mousekers was
224
00:09:31,321 --> 00:09:33,329
a fortune-teller
in my dream last night.
225
00:09:33,356 --> 00:09:36,057
He told me I was good in bed.
What do you think?
226
00:09:36,118 --> 00:09:38,151
Tell me you brought
that damn box.
227
00:09:38,287 --> 00:09:39,786
Hang tight.
228
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:42,730
-Uh-oh.
-What?
229
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:44,565
Don't be mad,
the box is in the car.
230
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:45,992
Okay, so just go get it.
231
00:09:46,144 --> 00:09:47,419
Here's where the mad part
comes in.
232
00:09:47,570 --> 00:09:49,570
When I say "the" car,
I don't mean my car.
233
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:52,573
See, my car's in the shop, so I
took a ride service to work,
234
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:55,260
so it's in that car.
235
00:09:55,453 --> 00:09:57,487
Ask me if you're good
in bed again.
236
00:09:57,547 --> 00:09:59,764
I don't want to.
237
00:10:05,272 --> 00:10:07,347
I am doing my best
with this tiny oven,
238
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:09,349
but it's like trying
to paint a barn
239
00:10:09,443 --> 00:10:10,734
with a Q-tip.
240
00:10:12,687 --> 00:10:14,595
-Hey, is, uh, Kat home?
-Hey, Oscar.
241
00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,357
-No, she's still out shopping
for the fun-eral.
-I came by
242
00:10:17,451 --> 00:10:19,451
to apologize for the thing
I said earlier
243
00:10:19,602 --> 00:10:20,844
about cats not being people.
244
00:10:20,862 --> 00:10:22,195
The florist
was also pretty pissed
245
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,456
when I told her the story,
so apparently,
246
00:10:24,607 --> 00:10:25,865
I've really hit a nerve here.
247
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:27,459
Well, if it makes you feel
any better,
248
00:10:27,610 --> 00:10:28,701
she's gonna be way more pissed
249
00:10:28,854 --> 00:10:30,370
when she finds out
I'm responsible
250
00:10:30,464 --> 00:10:33,022
for Mr. Mousekers' ashes
being left in a car service
251
00:10:33,124 --> 00:10:35,116
and the driver's
not texting me back.
252
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:37,377
(laughs) Oh, that is way worse
than my thing.
253
00:10:37,471 --> 00:10:38,970
Thanks for taking the heat off.
254
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:42,307
(banjo playing)
255
00:10:44,311 --> 00:10:48,146
Sounds like a 12-fingered angel
is playing my banjo.
256
00:10:48,339 --> 00:10:49,773
Huh, Tucks?
257
00:10:54,821 --> 00:10:57,155
(laughs):
I'll be damned, Ray.
258
00:10:57,324 --> 00:11:01,567
You're like one of them idiots
who can do one amazing thing.
259
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,386
This your banjo?
260
00:11:03,446 --> 00:11:07,557
Yeah. But run your fingers up
and down it all you want.
261
00:11:07,659 --> 00:11:09,334
Excuse me?
262
00:11:09,527 --> 00:11:11,252
Oh, nothing.
263
00:11:13,531 --> 00:11:15,840
Aren't those flowers
Oscar brought you nice?
264
00:11:16,033 --> 00:11:17,417
Honestly, I've never been much
of a "flowers as a gift"
265
00:11:17,511 --> 00:11:18,751
type of person.
266
00:11:18,887 --> 00:11:21,328
It's just another thing
to watch die.
267
00:11:21,390 --> 00:11:24,015
Damn, you're kind of bitchy
when your cat dies.
268
00:11:24,208 --> 00:11:26,926
You know what doesn't die?
That bourbon Max brought me.
269
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,412
Uh-oh. What's your point?
270
00:11:29,472 --> 00:11:32,190
I'm just saying
that it's interesting
271
00:11:32,383 --> 00:11:35,919
to compare the way Oscar handled
this tragic event in my life
272
00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:37,603
to the way Max has handled it.
273
00:11:37,756 --> 00:11:39,013
No, no, no, no, no.
274
00:11:39,074 --> 00:11:41,107
You cannot compare
Oscar and Max like that.
275
00:11:41,259 --> 00:11:42,775
Max is not your boyfriend,
276
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:44,869
and by his own admission,
never will be.
277
00:11:45,021 --> 00:11:46,930
I know,
but there was this moment
278
00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:48,948
when Max and I were
talking last night
279
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,951
that I thought
maybe he was gonna kiss me.
280
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:55,121
You thought I was gonna kiss you
last margarita night.
281
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:56,715
You leaned in.
282
00:11:58,051 --> 00:12:00,777
Kat, grief makes people
feel confusing things.
283
00:12:00,837 --> 00:12:04,371
You have to calm yourself,
close your eyes
284
00:12:04,433 --> 00:12:06,466
and focus on the guy
you're getting naked with.
285
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:09,728
(chuckles)
I can do that.
286
00:12:11,606 --> 00:12:14,381
Uh, Wyatt, this is
a memorial board for the pets
287
00:12:14,484 --> 00:12:15,883
who have left us too soon.
288
00:12:15,986 --> 00:12:17,235
That's a human.
289
00:12:17,428 --> 00:12:20,655
It's my grandma.
Her name was Lassie.
290
00:12:22,467 --> 00:12:24,391
Here are the words to the hymn
in case you get choked up
291
00:12:24,453 --> 00:12:25,744
and don't remember them.
292
00:12:25,895 --> 00:12:27,728
Oh, I'm done being sad, Phil.
293
00:12:27,789 --> 00:12:29,822
I mean,
look how well this is going.
294
00:12:29,975 --> 00:12:31,732
Everyone loves
the memorial board.
295
00:12:31,793 --> 00:12:34,310
Lot more iguanas
than I thought there would be.
296
00:12:34,329 --> 00:12:37,238
-Yes. Must have been
that cold snap.
-(chuckles)
297
00:12:37,299 --> 00:12:38,982
(phone chimes)
298
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,574
Oh, no.
299
00:12:40,635 --> 00:12:43,911
Oscar's gonna be late
'cause he has a work thing?
300
00:12:43,972 --> 00:12:45,838
(groans) I mean,
who's gonna squeeze my hand
301
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:47,657
before I recite my poem?
302
00:12:47,675 --> 00:12:49,250
You know,
I'm still annoyed at him,
303
00:12:49,311 --> 00:12:51,436
but I'm not above using him
for physical comfort.
304
00:12:51,587 --> 00:12:54,680
Well, I can do it, but it ends
with the hand squeeze.
305
00:12:54,833 --> 00:12:55,881
(laughs softly)
306
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,777
-Hello, Katharine.
-Oh, Mother.
307
00:12:58,928 --> 00:13:00,520
Geez. You scared me.
308
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:02,781
You look just like
Mr. Mousekers.
309
00:13:02,932 --> 00:13:04,023
He was my inspiration.
310
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,617
It was easy since I can't get
311
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:07,860
his dead little face
out of my head.
312
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:10,455
You know,
I felt a bit traumatized,
313
00:13:10,648 --> 00:13:12,532
since he died right in my lap.
314
00:13:12,626 --> 00:13:14,684
I felt like maybe
he was tagging me.
315
00:13:14,744 --> 00:13:16,795
"Hey, lady, you're next."
316
00:13:17,798 --> 00:13:19,522
It crossed my mind as well.
317
00:13:19,541 --> 00:13:22,708
Then, while I was belting out
"Memory" at my audition,
318
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:24,377
I had another thought.
319
00:13:24,471 --> 00:13:28,214
Maybe Mr. Mousekers was
looking for a-a special place
320
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:29,382
to cross over.
321
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:32,293
Maybe he came to me for comfort.
322
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:34,387
He trusted me.
323
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:36,055
That's beautiful.
324
00:13:36,207 --> 00:13:37,631
Yes, that's what they said
at the audition.
325
00:13:37,692 --> 00:13:39,150
They cast me on the spot.
326
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,544
Not the role I auditioned for--
it was too young--
327
00:13:41,604 --> 00:13:42,987
but I still get to crawl around
328
00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:44,656
and interact with the audience
before the show.
329
00:13:44,849 --> 00:13:45,990
(laughs softly)
330
00:13:46,183 --> 00:13:49,810
So, you're more
of a dog person, huh?
331
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:51,162
Yeah, I guess so.
332
00:13:51,355 --> 00:13:54,315
Hmm. You had a dog,
you act like a dog.
333
00:13:54,376 --> 00:13:56,984
Are you being funny or mean?
What's happening?
334
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:58,503
What's happening is
you're showing up
335
00:13:58,696 --> 00:14:01,230
at my girl Kat's place
with your booze and your hair
336
00:14:01,291 --> 00:14:03,657
and your big old teeth
and confusing her,
337
00:14:03,718 --> 00:14:05,401
making her think
you're gonna kiss her.
338
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:07,512
-Did she say that?
-CARTER: Randi.
339
00:14:07,705 --> 00:14:09,405
I need to talk to you.
340
00:14:09,424 --> 00:14:12,499
E-Excuse me. Carter and I
have never spoken privately,
341
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:14,410
so this must be important.
342
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:16,312
Stay, dog.
343
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,358
The ashes are two hours away.
344
00:14:20,509 --> 00:14:22,768
Says traffic's real bad
on the highway.
345
00:14:22,921 --> 00:14:24,228
Well, then text him back
and tell him
346
00:14:24,422 --> 00:14:26,680
a real man would be
driving on the grass.
347
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:29,108
It's all good. I got us covered.
348
00:14:29,260 --> 00:14:31,110
We'll tell Kat
the ashes are in here.
349
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:33,872
That looks like it was
painted by a child.
350
00:14:34,023 --> 00:14:35,689
Well, C.J. made it for me
for Father's Day.
351
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:37,767
I even filled it with rice
so the weight would be right.
352
00:14:37,827 --> 00:14:39,602
-(rice shaking)
-This sounds like rice.
353
00:14:39,662 --> 00:14:42,271
Well, you only thinking about
rice 'cause I said it was rice.
354
00:14:42,332 --> 00:14:44,883
Hey, Randi, I'm about
to start the memorial.
355
00:14:45,034 --> 00:14:46,533
I need Mr. Mousekers' ashes.
356
00:14:46,595 --> 00:14:48,803
Makes sense.
357
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:51,764
Uh, can I have them?
358
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,117
Of course.
359
00:14:54,135 --> 00:14:56,302
They said not to shake it,
out of respect.
360
00:14:56,396 --> 00:14:58,955
Uh, this is not the box
that I ordered.
361
00:14:59,015 --> 00:15:00,957
I ordered a-a pretty one
made of walnut
362
00:15:01,017 --> 00:15:03,217
with a plaque
and little paw prints.
363
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,052
Well, they said
this was the temporary one,
364
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,553
because the nice one
takes a while.
365
00:15:06,615 --> 00:15:08,981
Yeah, because there's
a walnut wood shortage.
366
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:12,785
Makes you think,
we really only have one Earth.
367
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:19,250
I'd like to thank you all
for coming here today
368
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:23,087
to celebrate the furry friends
we've loved and lost.
369
00:15:23,239 --> 00:15:26,740
Oh, uh, quick announcement,
I did extend the kettle corn guy
370
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:28,242
for another 30 minutes.
371
00:15:28,303 --> 00:15:30,486
Thank you, sir.
No need for pushing.
372
00:15:30,588 --> 00:15:32,413
It's just sweet popcorn.
373
00:15:32,474 --> 00:15:37,769
Um, I've written a poem
to honor my cat Mr. Mousekers,
374
00:15:37,938 --> 00:15:41,022
whose passing inspired
this beautiful gathering.
375
00:15:45,136 --> 00:15:47,687
"God, feed my cat
smoked salmon up there
376
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:50,173
"and take him on long drives,
377
00:15:50,233 --> 00:15:52,525
"and tell him
just how great he was
378
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:53,952
"in all of his nine lives.
379
00:15:54,145 --> 00:15:56,955
"Make the days
real bright for him
380
00:15:57,148 --> 00:15:59,515
"so he can lie out in the sun.
381
00:15:59,575 --> 00:16:00,866
"Oh, and get a laser pointer.
382
00:16:00,961 --> 00:16:02,776
"He thinks that's really fun.
383
00:16:02,796 --> 00:16:04,796
"If you lose him,
don't be frightened.
384
00:16:04,989 --> 00:16:07,614
"He's probably in a drawer.
385
00:16:07,717 --> 00:16:09,542
"Or sitting in a box somewhere.
386
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,618
"He thinks that's
what they're for.
387
00:16:11,721 --> 00:16:12,804
Love you, Lassie.
388
00:16:14,257 --> 00:16:18,050
"I know you're awfully busy
and have many pets to love,
389
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:20,127
"but tell mine that I miss him
390
00:16:20,146 --> 00:16:22,897
-and give him an extra hug."
-(applause)
391
00:16:26,027 --> 00:16:27,968
All right, now I'd like
to invite some friends
392
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:30,046
to join me up here
and liven things up
393
00:16:30,106 --> 00:16:31,547
-a little bit.

and has a cute young boyfriend?
407
00:17:11,865 --> 00:17:13,514
I didn't think those two things
could coexist,
408
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:15,107

to be proven wrong.

I asked Ray to form a bluegrass
band with me and he said yes.
417
00:17:44,514 --> 00:17:47,714
Oh, so your feeling was right.
You were meant to be together.
418
00:17:47,817 --> 00:17:50,068
Just, in a band,
not in holy matrimony.
419
00:17:50,261 --> 00:17:53,220
Yeah, but I can still live
with hope in my heart.
420
00:17:53,323 --> 00:17:55,722
(chuckles)
421
00:17:55,825 --> 00:17:57,724
Hey. I loved your poem.
422
00:17:57,786 --> 00:17:59,243
I bet Mr. Mousekers and Winston
423
00:17:59,436 --> 00:18:01,895
are probably smiling
down on us right now.
424
00:18:01,956 --> 00:18:03,823
Mr. Mousekers was never
really one for smiling.
425
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:05,750
When he was happy,
he'd-he'd look past you
426
00:18:05,901 --> 00:18:07,752
and rub his butt
up against your arm.
427
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:09,903
-I had an ex who did that.
-Julia.
428
00:18:09,964 --> 00:18:13,073
-Sophomore year.
-(both laugh)
429
00:18:13,134 --> 00:18:17,095
Kat, I-I, uh, feel like
I need to tell you something.
430
00:18:17,931 --> 00:18:19,722
Um, come here.
431
00:18:21,509 --> 00:18:22,934
-Are you mad at me again?
-No.
432
00:18:23,085 --> 00:18:24,585
Is it 'cause I was pitchy
during the singing?
433
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:26,329
-Mm, no.
-Sometimes I get pitchy
434
00:18:26,347 --> 00:18:27,496
-'cause I'm caught up
in my spoons.
-No. No.
435
00:18:27,557 --> 00:18:29,682
No, I just, I want to...
436
00:18:29,834 --> 00:18:31,167
I just want
to clear up something
437
00:18:31,185 --> 00:18:31,943
about the other night
when I came over.
438
00:18:33,488 --> 00:18:35,338
The reason Brigitte broke up
with me in the first place
439
00:18:35,398 --> 00:18:38,783
is because she never felt like
I was all in.
440
00:18:38,934 --> 00:18:41,193
And she was right. I always felt
like something was missing.
441
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:45,790
And what was missing was
a-a real friendship with her.
442
00:18:45,983 --> 00:18:47,875
Like the one we have.
443
00:18:48,786 --> 00:18:50,703
So...
444
00:18:50,855 --> 00:18:52,538
if you felt like I wanted
to kiss you the other night,
445
00:18:52,632 --> 00:18:54,799
it's because I did.
446
00:18:59,139 --> 00:19:01,472
Did you know this
and you never said anything?
447
00:19:01,665 --> 00:19:05,050
I like to keep things
mysterious and suspenseful.
448
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:09,814
Look, I know this is bad timing,
'cause you're dating somebody,
449
00:19:10,007 --> 00:19:11,983
but if there's one thing
I learned from you,
450
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:14,652
is that it's better
to make a bold move.
451
00:19:16,013 --> 00:19:19,949
So, this is my bold move.
452
00:19:21,444 --> 00:19:22,785
Wow.
(laughs)
453
00:19:24,355 --> 00:19:25,554
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
454
00:19:25,573 --> 00:19:26,998
Well, you were right.
455
00:19:27,149 --> 00:19:30,559
-Your timing is, like, ugh.
-Way off, I know.
456
00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:32,336
Um, yeah.
457
00:19:32,488 --> 00:19:33,654
Okay, well, I'm gonna go, uh,
458
00:19:33,673 --> 00:19:35,064
splash some cold water
on my face.
459
00:19:35,124 --> 00:19:36,565
And I'm gonna go
reapply my deodorant,
460
00:19:36,626 --> 00:19:39,260
like, uh, like, a lot of it.
461
00:19:40,704 --> 00:19:42,180
Oh.
462
00:19:42,373 --> 00:19:44,182
Mr. Mousekers!
463
00:19:44,375 --> 00:19:46,258
Is this-- Is this rice?
464
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:48,744
I can explain.
465
00:19:48,763 --> 00:19:52,781
Y-You know how in the Bible,
things turn into other things?
466
00:19:52,850 --> 00:19:55,509
I believe we have a miracle
on our hands.
467
00:19:55,570 --> 00:19:57,420
Randi, what is going on?
468
00:19:57,521 --> 00:20:01,590
Okay, see, after I picked up
Mr. Mousekers' ashes,
469
00:20:01,651 --> 00:20:04,443
I accidentally left them
in a car service.
470
00:20:04,595 --> 00:20:07,112
And by the time I contacted
the driver, he was in Chicago,
471
00:20:07,207 --> 00:20:09,022
ironically,
to comfort his mother,
472
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:11,358
who had just lost her cat.
473
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:13,102
You can't make this stuff up.
474
00:20:13,162 --> 00:20:14,937
RANDI:
And I didn't have time
475
00:20:14,997 --> 00:20:16,939
to drop everything
and go to Chicago.
476
00:20:16,999 --> 00:20:18,865
So where is Mr. Mousekers now?
477
00:20:18,927 --> 00:20:20,760
OSCAR:
He's right here.
478
00:20:22,672 --> 00:20:25,372
You didn't have to work late?
479
00:20:25,391 --> 00:20:29,118
You went all the way to Chicago
for Mr. Mousekers?
480
00:20:29,136 --> 00:20:32,730
If something is important
to you, it's important to me.
481
00:20:36,811 --> 00:20:38,218
Do I smell kettle corn?
482
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:39,720
I haven't eaten in, like,
ten hours.
483
00:20:39,822 --> 00:20:41,888
(laughs):
Yeah. Go get some.
484
00:20:41,950 --> 00:20:45,243
Katharine, this cat and I
both dipped our paws
485
00:20:45,394 --> 00:20:48,412
into the shrimp cocktail
at the same time.
486
00:20:48,581 --> 00:20:50,155
I think I've found my soul mate.
487
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:53,876
(laughs):
Oh. Good for you, Mother.
488
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:03,577
That makes one of us.
