11
00:00:33,344 --> 00:00:35,413
I NEED A STORY
FOR THE CHRISTMAS ISSUE
12
00:00:35,413 --> 00:00:36,482
THAT REALLY POPS,
13
00:00:36,482 --> 00:00:38,862
AND ALL I GOT IS
AN EMPTY CHAIR.
14
00:00:40,034 --> 00:00:42,241
I'VE GOT TWO PULITZER
PRIZE WINNERS,
15
00:00:42,241 --> 00:00:43,379
A PEN AWARD WINNER,
16
00:00:43,379 --> 00:00:45,862
AND TWO BEST-SELLING NOVELISTS
ON MY STAFF.
17
00:00:45,862 --> 00:00:49,172
SO I ASKED THEM
FOR SOME STORY IDEAS.
18
00:00:49,172 --> 00:00:51,517
THEY LOOK AT ME LIKE
I'M THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.
19
00:00:52,758 --> 00:00:54,379
I'M SERIOUS.
20
00:00:56,827 --> 00:00:59,034
YOU GET ME RIGHT, LENA?
21
00:00:59,034 --> 00:01:01,310
THERE'S A LOT THAT'S GOING ON
IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW,
22
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:03,965
AND PEOPLE NEED A BREAK
FROM ALL THAT NOISE.
23
00:01:03,965 --> 00:01:05,827
I KNOW I CERTAINLY DO.
24
00:01:05,827 --> 00:01:08,172
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
25
00:01:08,172 --> 00:01:11,000
I WAS JUST HOPING THAT ONE
OF THEM WOULD VOLUNTEER.
26
00:01:13,068 --> 00:01:15,862
I COULD FORCE ONE OF THEM,
YOU KNOW?
27
00:01:15,862 --> 00:01:18,379
I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD BE
IN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
28
00:01:18,379 --> 00:01:20,000
HMM.
29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,103
I-I MEAN...
30
00:01:23,103 --> 00:01:24,551
JUST THAT, UH...
31
00:01:24,551 --> 00:01:28,379
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN,
AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
32
00:01:28,379 --> 00:01:30,310
JUST LIKE I'M RIGHT ABOUT
THIS CHRISTMAS STORY.
33
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:32,206
I COULD FEEL IT
IN MY GUT.
34
00:01:32,206 --> 00:01:35,068
MY GUT IS NEVER WRONG.
35
00:01:35,068 --> 00:01:38,206
I WANT NEWS
IN THIS NEXT ISSUE.
36
00:01:38,206 --> 00:01:40,517
AND I WANT THIS CHRISTMAS STORY
TO HAVE, YOU KNOW,
37
00:01:40,517 --> 00:01:44,965
THE VIBRANT WAY
WITH LIFE, STYLE, SOUL.
38
00:01:46,448 --> 00:01:48,965
I COULD WRITE IT.
39
00:01:48,965 --> 00:01:50,620
YOU?
40
00:01:50,620 --> 00:01:52,655
DID YOU READ
THAT WRITING SAMPLE
41
00:01:52,655 --> 00:01:53,896
THAT I SENT YOU YET?
42
00:01:53,896 --> 00:01:56,482
THE ONE ABOUT
THAT SOCIAL WORKER
43
00:01:56,482 --> 00:01:59,724
IN THE TENDERLOIN?
44
00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:01,724
LENA, I KNOW
YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
45
00:02:01,724 --> 00:02:03,586
MY ASSISTANT FOREVER.
46
00:02:03,586 --> 00:02:05,862
SO YOU DID READ IT.
47
00:02:05,862 --> 00:02:08,482
UM...
48
00:02:08,482 --> 00:02:09,689
VIVIAN.
49
00:02:09,689 --> 00:02:10,793
WHAT?
50
00:02:10,793 --> 00:02:13,034
READ IT TONIGHT.
PLEASE?
51
00:02:14,344 --> 00:02:16,310
IF YOU DON'T THINK
IT'S ANY GOOD,
52
00:02:16,310 --> 00:02:17,724
I WON'T MENTION IT AGAIN.
53
00:02:17,724 --> 00:02:20,482
AND WHAT IF I DO THINK
IT'S GOOD?
54
00:02:20,482 --> 00:02:22,482
LET ME WRITE
YOUR CHRISTMAS STORY.
55
00:02:22,482 --> 00:02:23,482
OH, WOW.
56
00:02:23,482 --> 00:02:26,448
OH, THAT'S A BIG LEAP,
LENA.
57
00:02:26,448 --> 00:02:29,827
FROM MY ASSISTANT
TO A FEATURE ARTICLE.
58
00:02:29,827 --> 00:02:31,827
I CAN DO THIS, VIVIAN.
59
00:02:31,827 --> 00:02:34,931
I PROMISE YOU.
60
00:02:34,931 --> 00:02:36,620
I'LL CALL YOU TONIGHT.
61
00:02:55,068 --> 00:02:57,517
YEAH.
62
00:02:57,517 --> 00:02:59,517
OH, BABY,
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
63
00:02:59,517 --> 00:03:02,034
IT'S NOT DEFINITE YET.
64
00:03:02,034 --> 00:03:05,758
NOW, LOOK,
WHAT DO I ALWAYS SAY?
65
00:03:05,758 --> 00:03:06,896
GET UP.
66
00:03:06,896 --> 00:03:10,344
STAND UP, GET UP,
STRUT.
67
00:03:10,344 --> 00:03:11,689
YOU GOT THIS.
68
00:03:13,172 --> 00:03:15,689
I STILL HAVE TO
THINK OF SOMETHING.
69
00:03:15,689 --> 00:03:18,689
I MEAN, IF SHE LIKES
MY SAMPLE STORY.
70
00:03:18,689 --> 00:03:21,655
DO YOU THINK SHE WILL?
71
00:03:21,655 --> 00:03:24,310
NOW, SHE STRIKES ME
AS A VERY BRIGHT WOMAN.
72
00:03:24,310 --> 00:03:26,000
NOW, IF SHE CAN'T SEE
THIS LIGHT IN YOU,
73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,965
THEN YOU JUST GOT
TO SHINE BRIGHT
74
00:03:27,965 --> 00:03:29,689
UNTIL SOMEBODY ELSE DOES.
75
00:03:29,689 --> 00:03:31,724
BUT I HAVE A FEELING
SHE'LL BE CALLING.
76
00:03:31,724 --> 00:03:32,655
OH.
77
00:03:34,965 --> 00:03:36,241
HELLO?
78
00:03:36,241 --> 00:03:37,586
HEY, MAYA.
79
00:03:37,586 --> 00:03:39,413
YEAH.
80
00:03:39,413 --> 00:03:41,862
OH? OH.
81
00:03:41,862 --> 00:03:44,482
OH, THAT'S WONDERFUL NEWS.
82
00:03:44,482 --> 00:03:46,068
WELL, YEAH,
OF COURSE SHE CAN.
83
00:03:46,068 --> 00:03:48,931
COME ON.
HE'S GONNA BE FAMILY.
84
00:03:48,931 --> 00:03:50,620
OH, OKAY.
85
00:03:50,620 --> 00:03:54,551
WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT'S AMAZING.
86
00:03:54,551 --> 00:03:56,344
OKAY, YEAH.
87
00:03:56,344 --> 00:03:58,241
OKAY, I'LL SEE YOU THEN.
88
00:03:59,586 --> 00:04:03,034
OH. YOUR COUSIN JUNE
IS GETTING ENGAGED.
89
00:04:03,034 --> 00:04:06,137
SHE'S BRINGING HER FIANCé
TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
90
00:04:09,551 --> 00:04:11,379
HERE I THOUGHT I'D BE
BRINGING MY FIANCé
91
00:04:11,379 --> 00:04:13,000
TO THE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
92
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,758
OH, NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
93
00:04:14,758 --> 00:04:16,724
JUST WAIT A MINUTE.
94
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:18,896
THAT WAS SIX MONTHS AGO.
95
00:04:18,896 --> 00:04:21,965
I KNOW IT'S NOT EASY
BEING SINGLE AT CHRISTMAS,
96
00:04:21,965 --> 00:04:24,793
BUT I ALSO KNOW
THAT THE RIGHT PERSON
97
00:04:24,793 --> 00:04:26,620
FOR A WONDERFUL WOMAN
LIKE YOU
98
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:27,827
IS STILL OUT THERE.
99
00:04:29,862 --> 00:04:32,413
BUT WHAT IF HE WAS
THE ONE, MOM?
100
00:04:34,482 --> 00:04:36,310
THE ONE?
101
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:37,965
GIRL, WHAT AM I
GONNA DO WITH YOU?
102
00:04:37,965 --> 00:04:40,896
DAD WAS YOUR ONE, RIGHT?
103
00:04:40,896 --> 00:04:43,551
AND GRANDMA FOR GRANDPA.
104
00:04:45,758 --> 00:04:47,172
THOSE TWO.
105
00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:49,724
DAD AND MOM.
YEAH.
106
00:04:49,724 --> 00:04:51,172
IF THERE WERE EVER
TWO PEOPLE
107
00:04:51,172 --> 00:04:53,862
MEANT TO BE TOGETHER,
IT WAS THEM.
108
00:04:53,862 --> 00:04:56,931
MM. THEY'RE
TOGETHER FOREVER NOW.
109
00:04:56,931 --> 00:04:59,724
TOUGH YEAR.
YEAH.
110
00:04:59,724 --> 00:05:01,931
FIRST CHRISTMAS
WITHOUT THE BOTH OF THEM.
111
00:05:04,379 --> 00:05:06,724
BUT WE'VE STILL GOT
TO CELEBRATE, RIGHT?
112
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:08,034
YES.
OKAY.
113
00:05:08,034 --> 00:05:10,172
OH, BABY, NOW, THERE'S A FAVOR
I WANT TO DO FOR ME.
114
00:05:10,172 --> 00:05:11,965
THERE'S A BUNCH
OF POP'S STUFF.
115
00:05:11,965 --> 00:05:13,586
WE PUT IT
UP IN THE ATTIC.
116
00:05:13,586 --> 00:05:15,344
I'M GONNA GO THROUGH
ALL OF IT SOMEDAY,
117
00:05:15,344 --> 00:05:17,482
BUT THERE'S A SANTA
HE USED TO PUT ON THE PORCH.
118
00:05:17,482 --> 00:05:19,724
IT'S UP THERE SOMEWHERE.
119
00:05:19,724 --> 00:05:21,586
THAT SANTA?
YES.
120
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:23,793
NOW, COULD YOU GO UP THERE
AND JUST TRY TO FIND IT?
121
00:05:23,793 --> 00:05:26,827
IT'LL SORT OF BE LIKE
HE'S STILL HERE.
122
00:05:26,827 --> 00:05:28,379
OKAY.
123
00:05:28,379 --> 00:05:29,482
THANK YOU.
124
00:05:53,758 --> 00:05:55,724
HMM.
125
00:06:34,931 --> 00:06:37,655
"MY LIFE, LOVE AND SOUL.
126
00:06:37,655 --> 00:06:39,758
A CHRISTMAS FOR MARY.
127
00:06:39,758 --> 00:06:41,310
ALWAYS, CLARENCE."
128
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:43,275
MM.
129
00:06:55,206 --> 00:06:57,517
WOW, GRANDPA'S PALETTE.
130
00:07:05,724 --> 00:07:08,034
WONDER KIND OF MUSIC
HE LISTENED TO.
131
00:07:19,275 --> 00:07:21,413
LOOK HOW HANDSOME HE WAS.
132
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,793
WHAT'S THIS?
133
00:07:48,103 --> 00:07:50,827
GRANDPA'S JOURNAL.
134
00:08:17,034 --> 00:08:19,827
YOU'RE NOT GRANDMA.
135
00:08:32,724 --> 00:08:34,724
YOU MUST BE MARY.
136
00:08:45,896 --> 00:08:48,551
ALOHA, SANTA CLAUS.
137
00:08:50,241 --> 00:08:52,379
I STILL REMEMBER
WHEN MOM AND DAD
138
00:08:52,379 --> 00:08:53,620
BROUGHT HIM BACK
FROM HAWAII.
139
00:08:53,620 --> 00:08:54,827
I WAS IN COLLEGE.
140
00:08:54,827 --> 00:08:56,137
THEN I WENT AWAY
TO COLLEGE,
141
00:08:56,137 --> 00:08:57,724
AND MOM AND DAD
STARTED ACTING LIKE
142
00:08:57,724 --> 00:08:59,517
THEY WERE A COUPLE
OF COLLEGE KIDS AGAIN.
143
00:09:01,862 --> 00:09:04,000
SMELLS LIKE CHRISTMAS.
144
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,896
YOUR FAVORITE PIES
IN THE OVEN.
145
00:09:05,896 --> 00:09:08,413
ALRIGHT, NOW,
APPLE CRUMBLE.
146
00:09:10,034 --> 00:09:12,862
THAT'S WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
147
00:09:12,862 --> 00:09:14,448
AHH.
148
00:09:14,448 --> 00:09:17,034
I SEE YOU FOUND
CLARENCE'S SANTA.
149
00:09:17,034 --> 00:09:19,620
THOUGHT I'D HIDDEN HIM
BETTER THAN THAT.
150
00:09:19,620 --> 00:09:21,000
JUST KIDDING.
151
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,448
I'M GLAD
YOU BROUGHT HIM OUT.
152
00:09:24,448 --> 00:09:26,379
WHAT'S THAT, LENA?
153
00:09:26,379 --> 00:09:28,793
I FOUND THIS, TOO.
154
00:09:28,793 --> 00:09:31,137
IT WAS WITH
SOME OTHER PAINTINGS.
155
00:09:31,137 --> 00:09:33,448
OH, THE PAINTINGS.
156
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:35,000
DAD'S OTHER LIFE.
157
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,586
YOUR GRANDPA,
HE WAS A TRUE RENAISSANCE MAN.
158
00:09:37,586 --> 00:09:39,724
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
MM.
159
00:09:39,724 --> 00:09:41,896
I MEAN, NOT AS BEAUTIFUL
AS YOU, OF COURSE.
160
00:09:44,655 --> 00:09:46,586
DOESN'T LOOK MUCH
LIKE YOUR MOM, THOUGH.
161
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,448
THAT'S DEFINITELY
NOT MOM.
162
00:09:48,448 --> 00:09:51,793
"MY LIFE, LOVE
AND SOUL.
163
00:09:51,793 --> 00:09:53,931
A CHRISTMAS FOR MARY.
164
00:09:53,931 --> 00:09:55,103
ALWAYS, CLARENCE."
165
00:09:55,103 --> 00:09:56,793
WHAT?
166
00:09:56,793 --> 00:09:58,793
THAT'S WHAT IT SAID.
167
00:09:58,793 --> 00:10:00,586
WELL, WHO IS MARY?
168
00:10:00,586 --> 00:10:02,862
YOU KNOW.
IT'S YOUR DAD.
169
00:10:02,862 --> 00:10:05,344
I FOUND THIS, TOO.
170
00:10:05,344 --> 00:10:07,551
I THINK THIS IS HER.
171
00:10:07,551 --> 00:10:09,689
- THAT'S HER, ALRIGHT.
- HMM.
172
00:10:09,689 --> 00:10:11,793
- HMM. STOP IT.
- WHAT?
173
00:10:11,793 --> 00:10:15,275
HMM. I KNOW WHAT HMM IS.
THIS IS NOT A HMM.
174
00:10:15,275 --> 00:10:16,896
THIS IS...WHAT?
175
00:10:16,896 --> 00:10:18,206
...NOT A HMM.
176
00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:20,137
DO YOU THINK IT'S SOMEBODY
THAT GRANDPA WAS DATING?
177
00:10:20,137 --> 00:10:21,172
I SAID
IT'S NOT A HMM.
178
00:10:21,172 --> 00:10:24,724
I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT'S WHAT A "HMM" WAS.
179
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:26,000
LOOK, IT'S ALRIGHT
FOR YOUR DAD
180
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,448
TO HAVE
ANOTHER GIRLFRIEND.
181
00:10:27,448 --> 00:10:29,586
THIS IS NOT
ANOTHER GIRLFRIEND.
182
00:10:29,586 --> 00:10:31,482
BABY...
HMM?
183
00:10:31,482 --> 00:10:32,931
...ALL FAMILIES
HAVE SECRETS.
184
00:10:32,931 --> 00:10:35,103
YEAH, MAYBE YOUR SIDE.
185
00:10:35,103 --> 00:10:38,517
NOW, DEBBIE, YOUR DAD WOULD
BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT
186
00:10:38,517 --> 00:10:43,448
THAT HE HAD
A PRETTY SPIRITED YOUTH.
187
00:10:43,448 --> 00:10:45,586
LOOK, MOM AND DAD WENT
TO HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER.
188
00:10:45,586 --> 00:10:48,172
BUT YOU SAID THEY GOT MARRIED
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL.
189
00:10:48,172 --> 00:10:49,758
DID YOUR GRANDDAD
EVER TELL YOU
190
00:10:49,758 --> 00:10:53,310
THAT STORY
ABOUT HARLEM JAZZ CLUB?
191
00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:56,655
NO, GRANDPA, JAZZ CLUB?
192
00:10:56,655 --> 00:10:58,310
MOM WAS WITH HIM THEN.
193
00:10:58,310 --> 00:11:01,310
SHE CALMED DAD DOWN
FOR THE BETTER.
194
00:11:01,310 --> 00:11:03,896
HE MENTIONED THAT
ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION.
195
00:11:03,896 --> 00:11:07,379
BUT SHE DOES LOOK ABOUT
20-SOMETHING, DOESN'T SHE?
196
00:11:07,379 --> 00:11:08,827
SHE'S SOMETHING.
I GIVE YOU THAT.
197
00:11:08,827 --> 00:11:10,172
STOP.
198
00:11:10,172 --> 00:11:11,862
DAD.
OH.
199
00:11:13,103 --> 00:11:14,620
PINEVILLE.
200
00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:16,068
PINEVILLE?
201
00:11:16,068 --> 00:11:17,931
YEAH,
I BET YOU ANYTHING,
202
00:11:17,931 --> 00:11:19,827
THAT'S WHERE THIS PHOTO
WAS TAKEN.
203
00:11:19,827 --> 00:11:21,034
IT'S A LITTLE TOWN
204
00:11:21,034 --> 00:11:22,827
ABOUT THREE OR FOUR HOURS
AWAY FROM HERE.
205
00:11:22,827 --> 00:11:24,068
THERE'S
A TRAIN STOP THERE,
206
00:11:24,068 --> 00:11:26,724
AND IT'S KIND OF
HIDDEN AWAY.
207
00:11:26,724 --> 00:11:27,965
YEAH,
DAD USED TO STOP THERE
208
00:11:27,965 --> 00:11:29,724
WHEN HE WAS TRAVELING
AND WRITING, PAINTING.
209
00:11:29,724 --> 00:11:31,241
WHAT ELSE
DID HE SAY ABOUT IT?
210
00:11:31,241 --> 00:11:33,172
IT'S LIKE
HE MARKED HIS LIFE
211
00:11:33,172 --> 00:11:35,551
BEFORE PINEVILLE
AND AFTER.
212
00:11:35,551 --> 00:11:37,827
I NEVER KNEW EXACTLY
WHAT HAPPENED THERE.
213
00:11:37,827 --> 00:11:39,241
HE DIDN'T TALK
ABOUT IT MUCH,
214
00:11:39,241 --> 00:11:41,586
BUT HE MENTIONED IT
A COUPLE OF TIMES VAGUELY
215
00:11:41,586 --> 00:11:42,827
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP.
216
00:11:42,827 --> 00:11:44,758
THAT ALWAYS STUCK
WITH ME, THOUGH.
217
00:11:44,758 --> 00:11:47,551
THE LAST CHRISTMAS
IN PINEVILLE.
218
00:11:47,551 --> 00:11:49,310
DO YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE
219
00:11:49,310 --> 00:11:51,586
THAT HE MIGHT HAVE
FALLEN IN LOVE
220
00:11:51,586 --> 00:11:53,344
WHEN HE WAS IN PINEVILLE?
221
00:11:53,344 --> 00:11:55,344
WELL,
I NEVER THOUGHT MY DAD
222
00:11:55,344 --> 00:11:57,965
HAD EYES FOR ANYBODY
BUT MY MOM, BUT...
223
00:11:57,965 --> 00:11:59,862
WHAT WAS HE WORKING ON
IN PINEVILLE?
224
00:11:59,862 --> 00:12:01,827
I'M NOT SURE.
225
00:12:01,827 --> 00:12:03,586
BUT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW
THAT HE STARTED WORKING
226
00:12:03,586 --> 00:12:05,482
AT THE "EAST BAY TIMES"
SOON AFTER.
227
00:12:39,172 --> 00:12:42,172
"CHRISTMAS IN PINEVILLE"?
228
00:12:43,758 --> 00:12:46,551
HMM.
229
00:12:46,551 --> 00:12:47,862
YOUR GRANDFATHER
230
00:12:47,862 --> 00:12:50,034
WROTE THOUSANDS OF STORIES
IN HIS LIFE.
231
00:12:50,034 --> 00:12:52,413
YOU PROBABLY KNOW SOME
OF THEM BETTER THAN I DO.
232
00:12:52,413 --> 00:12:53,620
BUT WITH HIS CRAZY
SHORTHAND,
233
00:12:53,620 --> 00:12:55,000
IT'S HARD TO PUT
ANYTHING TOGETHER,
234
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,448
ESPECIALLY STUFF
THAT'S DECADES OLD.
235
00:12:58,448 --> 00:13:01,241
THE WAY YOU KEEP
YOUR JOURNAL,
236
00:13:01,241 --> 00:13:03,068
YOU REMIND ME OF HIM.
237
00:13:03,068 --> 00:13:05,172
-"25
- K SAVINGS,
238
00:13:05,172 --> 00:13:07,931
ONE-BEDROOM APARTMENT
IN THE CITY.
239
00:13:07,931 --> 00:13:11,827
WRITER AT VIBRANT."
240
00:13:11,827 --> 00:13:13,689
IS THIS
YOUR CHRISTMAS LIST?
241
00:13:13,689 --> 00:13:16,379
GOAL.
242
00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:17,620
AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT
243
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,862
ALL THAT GRANDPA
ACCOMPLISHED BY MY AGE,
244
00:13:19,862 --> 00:13:22,724
I MEAN, ALREADY PUBLISHED,
WRITING, PAINTING.
245
00:13:22,724 --> 00:13:24,413
I DON'T EVEN KNOW
ABOUT THE JAZZ CLUBS.
246
00:13:24,413 --> 00:13:27,275
YOU'LL MAKE YOUR OWN WAY
IN YOUR OWN TIME.
247
00:13:30,275 --> 00:13:34,034
NOW, WAIT.
NOW, WHAT'S THIS?
248
00:13:34,034 --> 00:13:36,448
IN GRANDPA'S JOURNAL,
249
00:13:36,448 --> 00:13:37,793
IN BETWEEN
THE SHORT STORIES
250
00:13:37,793 --> 00:13:41,482
AND THE CRAZY SHORTHAND,
I FOUND SOMETHING ELSE.
251
00:13:41,482 --> 00:13:44,724
DID HE EVER MENTION
A CRIME STORY
252
00:13:44,724 --> 00:13:47,000
HE WAS COVERING
IN PINEVILLE?
253
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,206
CRIME?
254
00:13:48,206 --> 00:13:50,275
MY DADDY DID A LOT
OF REPORTING LIKE THAT.
255
00:13:50,275 --> 00:13:53,034
I KNOW FOR THE PAPER,
HE COVERED EVERYTHING.
256
00:13:53,034 --> 00:13:54,620
BUT...I'M SO SORRY.
257
00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:56,379
I ALWAYS MEANT
TO GET HIM TO OPEN UP
258
00:13:56,379 --> 00:13:59,310
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
IN PINEVILLE, BUT I NEVER DID.
259
00:13:59,310 --> 00:14:00,586
HMM.
260
00:14:00,586 --> 00:14:03,034
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT A STORY,
261
00:14:03,034 --> 00:14:04,448
AND I KNOW FOR CERTAIN
262
00:14:04,448 --> 00:14:07,172
HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME
ABOUT A LOVE AFFAIR.
263
00:14:07,172 --> 00:14:08,827
YEAH.
264
00:14:08,827 --> 00:14:10,620
HE MENTIONS THIS MARY
IN THE JOURNALS,
265
00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:15,758
BUT ONLY IN BITS,
FRAGMENTS.
266
00:14:15,758 --> 00:14:19,172
CHRISTMAS IN PINEVILLE.
267
00:14:19,172 --> 00:14:21,172
IT'S LIKE
HE HAD ANOTHER LIFE.
268
00:14:21,172 --> 00:14:23,448
THAT'S WHAT
I'M WORRIED ABOUT.
269
00:14:23,448 --> 00:14:25,379
WELL, EXACTLY
WHAT DID HE SAY?
270
00:14:25,379 --> 00:14:27,137
WERE THEY...
271
00:14:27,137 --> 00:14:29,551
THERE'S NOT A LOT
OF REAL DETAILS,
272
00:14:29,551 --> 00:14:32,000
AT LEAST
WHAT I COULD MAKE OUT.
273
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,103
WELL, THAT'S
A PRETTY BIG DETAIL.
274
00:14:36,068 --> 00:14:37,758
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW.
275
00:14:37,758 --> 00:14:41,034
WHAT IF...WHAT IF
HE AND THIS OTHER WOMAN...
276
00:14:41,034 --> 00:14:44,241
OH, I JUST WISH I KNEW
FOR SURE.
277
00:14:44,241 --> 00:14:45,793
ME TOO.
278
00:14:48,103 --> 00:14:49,448
IT'S VIVIAN.
279
00:14:49,448 --> 00:14:50,758
YOU GOT THIS.
280
00:14:54,517 --> 00:14:55,689
VIVIAN?
281
00:14:55,689 --> 00:14:57,931
YOU'VE GOT HEART,
YOU'RE RAW,
282
00:14:57,931 --> 00:14:59,586
BUT YOU'RE TALENTED.
283
00:14:59,586 --> 00:15:01,137
I AM?
284
00:15:01,137 --> 00:15:02,551
Drop the question mark,
Lena.
285
00:15:02,551 --> 00:15:04,310
YOU NEED
TO BUILD CONFIDENCE,
286
00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:06,896
AND I'M GONNA GIVE YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT.
287
00:15:06,896 --> 00:15:08,103
YOU ARE?
288
00:15:08,103 --> 00:15:10,965
I MEAN, YES,
YOU ARE.
289
00:15:10,965 --> 00:15:12,551
THATAGIRL.
290
00:15:12,551 --> 00:15:14,172
NOW, TO PROVE
THAT YOU'RE NOT A FLUKE,
291
00:15:14,172 --> 00:15:16,413
I'M GONNA GIVE YOU A CRACK
AT THE CHRISTMAS STORY.
292
00:15:16,413 --> 00:15:18,137
And if you deliver,
293
00:15:18,137 --> 00:15:20,655
I'm gonna put you
on staff first of the year.
294
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:22,896
YOU'RE GONNA PUT ME
ON STAFF?
295
00:15:22,896 --> 00:15:26,758
I MEAN,
YOU WILL PUT ME ON STAFF.
296
00:15:26,758 --> 00:15:28,103
I GOT TO SEE
YOUR STORY FIRST.
297
00:15:28,103 --> 00:15:29,137
NOW, WHAT DO YOU GET?
298
00:15:32,103 --> 00:15:34,137
THE LAST CHRISTMAS
IN PINEVILLE.
299
00:15:34,137 --> 00:15:37,965
OKAY, NICE LOCATION.
LOVE STORY?
300
00:15:37,965 --> 00:15:39,103
I'M NOT SURE.
301
00:15:39,103 --> 00:15:41,448
I FOUND THIS PORTRAIT
MY GRANDPA PAINTED
302
00:15:41,448 --> 00:15:42,482
OF THIS WOMAN.
303
00:15:42,482 --> 00:15:45,758
OOH. AND THIS WOMAN,
NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER?
304
00:15:45,758 --> 00:15:48,241
MAYBE THE ONE
THAT GOT AWAY?
305
00:15:48,241 --> 00:15:49,724
She's beautiful.
306
00:15:49,724 --> 00:15:52,206
Decorating a Christmas tree.
307
00:15:52,206 --> 00:15:55,137
HMM. SPICY.
308
00:15:55,137 --> 00:15:56,931
I THOUGHT THAT YOUR GRANDPA
WAS A WRITER, THOUGH?
309
00:15:56,931 --> 00:15:59,896
WRITER, PAINTER,
PHOTOGRAPHER.
310
00:15:59,896 --> 00:16:01,965
HE WAS
A RENAISSANCE MAN.
311
00:16:01,965 --> 00:16:04,793
MM.
I LOVE A RENAISSANCE MAN.
312
00:16:04,793 --> 00:16:08,000
AND HE WAS WORKING
ON SOME STORY.
313
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,827
I'M NOT SURE
HE EVER FINISHED IT.
314
00:16:09,827 --> 00:16:11,241
THERE'S SOME
PIECES MISSING.
315
00:16:11,241 --> 00:16:13,931
I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT WENT ON THERE.
316
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:18,068
LOVE, ROMANCE,
MYSTERY, CHRISTMAS.
317
00:16:18,068 --> 00:16:21,103
SOMETHING IN MY GUT
TELLS ME IT'S SPECIAL.
318
00:16:21,103 --> 00:16:22,310
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S...
319
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:25,000
NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU DO KNOW.
320
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,827
THIS IS YOUR STORY,
AND IT'S CALLING YOU.
321
00:16:26,827 --> 00:16:29,275
YES, YOU COULD SAY THAT.
322
00:16:29,275 --> 00:16:31,931
I WANT YOU TO SAY IT.
323
00:16:31,931 --> 00:16:33,517
YES, IT'S CALLING ME.
324
00:16:33,517 --> 00:16:34,724
THEN GO TO PINEVILLE
325
00:16:34,724 --> 00:16:37,275
AND FIND THAT STORY
AND BRING IT BACK TO ME.
326
00:16:37,275 --> 00:16:39,275
OKAY, I WILL.
327
00:16:39,275 --> 00:16:41,655

HELLO.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
365
00:18:40,965 --> 00:18:43,275
UM, I'M LOOKING
FOR SOMEONE.
366
00:18:43,275 --> 00:18:46,034
I WAS HOPING
TO CHECK YOUR ARCHIVES.
367
00:18:46,034 --> 00:18:47,241
MY NAME IS LENA JONES.
368
00:18:47,241 --> 00:18:49,137
WE MIGHT HAVE SPOKEN
ON THE PHONE.
369
00:18:49,137 --> 00:18:51,241
SOMEONE SAID RECORDS
HAD TO BE SEARCHED IN PERSON.
370
00:18:51,241 --> 00:18:53,517
THAT'S RIGHT.
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT.
371
00:18:53,517 --> 00:18:54,862
WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
372
00:18:54,862 --> 00:18:56,931
WOULD YOU HAPPEN
TO KNOW A MARY?
373
00:18:56,931 --> 00:18:59,241
- WELL, THAT'S MY NAME.
- REALLY?
374
00:18:59,241 --> 00:19:02,517
AND THEN THERE'S MARY WHITE
AND MARY BOYD.
375
00:19:02,517 --> 00:19:05,586
MARY RUTH LYNN.
OH, AND MARY CORNWELL.
376
00:19:05,586 --> 00:19:08,275
A LOT OF MARYS HERE.
MM-HMM.
377
00:19:08,275 --> 00:19:12,896
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN
TO KNOW THIS MARY?
378
00:19:15,206 --> 00:19:16,379
MARY PAYTON.
379
00:19:16,379 --> 00:19:17,758
YOU DO KNOW HER?
380
00:19:17,758 --> 00:19:19,689
I KNEW HER.
381
00:19:19,689 --> 00:19:23,137
SHE JOINED HER BELOVED
RICHARD FIRST OF THE YEAR.
382
00:19:23,137 --> 00:19:25,206
HE PASSED AWAY
A FEW YEARS AGO.
383
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:27,413
GOSH, THOSE TWO
WERE INSEPARABLE.
384
00:19:27,413 --> 00:19:28,724
SUCH A LOVE STORY.
385
00:19:28,724 --> 00:19:30,241
DID YOU KNOW HER?
386
00:19:30,241 --> 00:19:32,931
SHE KNEW MY GRANDPA.
387
00:19:32,931 --> 00:19:37,000
I THINK, UM, HE PASSED
THROUGH HERE A LONG TIME AGO.
388
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,413
WELL,
I'VE BEEN HERE 10 YEARS,
389
00:19:39,413 --> 00:19:41,344
BUT MARY AND RICHARD
WERE ALREADY LIKE
390
00:19:41,344 --> 00:19:42,793
AN INSTITUTION
AROUND HERE,
391
00:19:42,793 --> 00:19:45,620
ALWAYS HOLDING HANDS.
392
00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:48,413
WOULD I BE ABLE TO CHECK
YOUR OLD LOCAL NEWSPAPERS?
393
00:19:48,413 --> 00:19:50,206
OR IN OUR CASE, PAPER.
394
00:19:50,206 --> 00:19:53,448
THE ONLY LOCAL PAPER ANYMORE
IS THE "PINEVILLE PRESS."
395
00:19:53,448 --> 00:19:56,620
OH. HAS THAT
ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE?
396
00:19:56,620 --> 00:19:58,896
NOT ALWAYS.
YOU KNOW, A LONG TIME AGO,
397
00:19:58,896 --> 00:20:01,551
PINEVILLE HAD AS MANY
AS FOUR NEWSPAPERS.
398
00:20:01,551 --> 00:20:03,310
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
399
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:06,172
BUT "PINEVILLE HERALD TIMES"
SHUT DOWN IN 2010.
400
00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:08,103
OH.
401
00:20:08,103 --> 00:20:10,896
OR WAS IT 2012?
THAT'S...
402
00:20:10,896 --> 00:20:15,862
ACTUALLY I WAS HOPING
TO CHECK YOUR OLDER PAPERS.
403
00:20:15,862 --> 00:20:18,103
OH, WELL, WE HAVE
A COUPLE OF HARD COPIES.
404
00:20:18,103 --> 00:20:20,206
ALL THE OTHER ARCHIVES
ARE ON MICROFICHE
405
00:20:20,206 --> 00:20:21,793
AND THE COMPUTER,
OF COURSE.
406
00:20:21,793 --> 00:20:24,103
THAT'S GREAT.
407
00:20:24,103 --> 00:20:27,586
SO YOU SAID YOUR GRANDFATHER
LIVED IN PINEVILLE?
408
00:20:27,586 --> 00:20:31,137
NO, HE WAS HERE
WORKING ON A STORY...
409
00:20:31,137 --> 00:20:33,137
I THINK.
410
00:20:33,137 --> 00:20:34,965
HE WAS A REPORTER
FOR THE "EAST BAY TIMES"
411
00:20:34,965 --> 00:20:36,793
FOR FOREVER.
412
00:20:36,793 --> 00:20:39,034
DID YOU LOOK THROUGH
THEIR ARCHIVES?
413
00:20:39,034 --> 00:20:42,551
WHAT I COULD
BEFORE I LEFT.
414
00:20:42,551 --> 00:20:43,896
YOU KNOW, I TRIED GOOGLE,
415
00:20:43,896 --> 00:20:45,655
AND I COULDN'T
FIND ANYTHING.
416
00:20:45,655 --> 00:20:46,965
AND THEN
WHEN I CALLED THE PAPER,
417
00:20:46,965 --> 00:20:48,862
THEY SAID THAT A FIRE
IN THE '70s
418
00:20:48,862 --> 00:20:52,758
HAD PRETTY MUCH WIPED OUT
EVERYTHING BEFORE THAT.
419
00:20:52,758 --> 00:20:53,724
OH.
420
00:20:53,724 --> 00:20:55,172
WHAT'S WRONG?
421
00:20:55,172 --> 00:20:57,206
PINEVILLE ACTUALLY
DIDN'T GET
422
00:20:57,206 --> 00:20:59,241
THEIR LOCAL PAPER
UNTIL 1958.
423
00:20:59,241 --> 00:21:00,758
OH, THAT'S FINE.
424
00:21:00,758 --> 00:21:05,379
BUT THE OLDEST ARCHIVES
WE HAVE ARE ONLY 25 YEARS OLD.
425
00:21:05,379 --> 00:21:09,310
YOUR OLDEST ARCHIVES
ARE FROM 1995?
426
00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:11,000
THAT'S LAST CENTURY.
427
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,965
WE DO HAVE A FEW PIECES
THAT ARE OLDER,
428
00:21:12,965 --> 00:21:15,793
BUT NOTHING SUBSTANTIAL.
429
00:21:15,793 --> 00:21:17,344
JUST BIG EVENTS,
430
00:21:17,344 --> 00:21:19,793
MAN ON THE MOON,
THAT KIND OF THING.
431
00:21:19,793 --> 00:21:21,000
I'M SORRY.
432
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,620
THAT'S OKAY.
433
00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:25,517
I MEAN, YOU DO HAVE
A PRETTY NEAT TOWN HERE.
434
00:21:25,517 --> 00:21:27,137
THAT WE DO.
435
00:21:29,724 --> 00:21:31,827
DOES MARY HAVE ANY FAMILY
LEFT IN TOWN?
436
00:21:31,827 --> 00:21:34,172
OH, YES, MARY'S CAFE.
437
00:21:34,172 --> 00:21:36,448
THAT'S ONE OF
THE OLDEST BUSINESSES IN TOWN.
438
00:21:36,448 --> 00:21:37,758
HER FAMILY RUNS IT NOW.
439
00:21:37,758 --> 00:21:39,586
THEY MIGHT BE ABLE
TO HELP YOU.
440
00:21:39,586 --> 00:21:40,689
THANK YOU.
441
00:21:42,620 --> 00:21:44,620
- GOOD LUCK.
- THANKS.
442
00:21:56,344 --> 00:21:57,965
HO, HO, HO.
443
00:21:57,965 --> 00:21:59,793
HEY, HEY, HEY.
444
00:22:01,068 --> 00:22:03,482
UH...I MEAN...
445
00:22:03,482 --> 00:22:04,793
I'M SORRY.
446
00:22:04,793 --> 00:22:06,655
WE'RE A LITTLE BIT
SHORT-STAFFED RIGHT NOW.
447
00:22:06,655 --> 00:22:08,172
I'M GETTING READY
FOR THE BOOK EXCHANGE.
448
00:22:08,172 --> 00:22:10,068
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
COFFEE?
449
00:22:10,068 --> 00:22:12,068
NO, NO, THANK YOU.
450
00:22:12,068 --> 00:22:14,241
UM...
451
00:22:14,241 --> 00:22:16,275
MY NAME IS LENA JONES.
452
00:22:16,275 --> 00:22:18,379
I WAS LOOKING
FOR SOME INFORMATION
453
00:22:18,379 --> 00:22:19,586
ABOUT A MARY PAYTON.
454
00:22:19,586 --> 00:22:21,034
THAT'S MY GRANDMOTHER.
455
00:22:21,034 --> 00:22:22,620
SHE PASSED AWAY
EARLIER THIS YEAR.
456
00:22:22,620 --> 00:22:25,413
YES, I HEARD. I'M SORRY.
457
00:22:25,413 --> 00:22:27,862
I'M MICHAEL.
MICHAEL PAYTON.
458
00:22:27,862 --> 00:22:30,172
VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.
459
00:22:30,172 --> 00:22:32,379
MY GRANDFATHER PASSED AWAY
EARLIER THIS YEAR, TOO.
460
00:22:32,379 --> 00:22:33,862
OH.
461
00:22:33,862 --> 00:22:36,206
WELL, I WAS GOING THROUGH
SOME OF THESE THINGS
462
00:22:36,206 --> 00:22:39,655
AND, YOU SEE,
I THINK OUR GRANDPARENTS
463
00:22:39,655 --> 00:22:41,620
MIGHT HAVE KNOWN
EACH OTHER.
464
00:22:41,620 --> 00:22:43,620
HOLD ON TO THAT THOUGHT.
465
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:45,344
I THINK MY COOKIES
ARE ON FIRE.
466
00:22:47,931 --> 00:22:49,862
YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
467
00:22:49,862 --> 00:22:52,000
FOCUS, LENA, FOCUS.
468
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,724
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
469
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:02,965
OH, MAN.
470
00:23:07,482 --> 00:23:09,172
ELLA.
471
00:23:09,172 --> 00:23:10,206
OH, YEAH.
472
00:23:10,206 --> 00:23:11,620
THAT'S MY FAVORITE
CHRISTMAS ALBUM.
473
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:13,275
I HAVE THE SAME ALBUM.
474
00:23:13,275 --> 00:23:14,655
YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE.
475
00:23:14,655 --> 00:23:17,448
BUT DON'T TASTE THESE.
476
00:23:17,448 --> 00:23:19,896
OH, NO, I'M SORRY.
477
00:23:19,896 --> 00:23:21,068
NO, DON'T BE SORRY.
478
00:23:21,068 --> 00:23:23,241
IT'S OUR FIRST BOOK EXCHANGE
WITHOUT GRANDMA.
479
00:23:23,241 --> 00:23:24,965
WE ALL BEEN
A LITTLE SCATTERED.
480
00:23:24,965 --> 00:23:27,000
LAST TIME,
THE SPRINKLERS WENT OFF.
481
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:28,275
YEAH.
482
00:23:28,275 --> 00:23:30,310
SOMEHOW GRANDMA
DIDN'T MANAGE
483
00:23:30,310 --> 00:23:32,206
TO PASS ON HER BAKING
INTO THE NEXT GENERATION.
484
00:23:32,206 --> 00:23:33,413
YEAH.
485
00:23:33,413 --> 00:23:34,931
MY DAD'S THE ONE
THAT SET OFF THE SPRINKLERS.
486
00:23:34,931 --> 00:23:36,931
AND AS YOU CAN SEE,
487
00:23:36,931 --> 00:23:39,896
IT DIDN'T SKIP
AND LAND ON ME EITHER.
488
00:23:39,896 --> 00:23:42,275
SORRY,
YOU DON'T NEED TO HIT US.
489
00:23:42,275 --> 00:23:44,275
NO, I DO ACTUALLY.
490
00:23:44,275 --> 00:23:46,344
THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.
491
00:23:46,344 --> 00:23:49,344
I'M WRITING A STORY.
492
00:23:49,344 --> 00:23:51,724
A STORY
ABOUT MY GRANDMA?
493
00:23:51,724 --> 00:23:53,448
I WORK
AT VIBRANT MAGAZINE.
494
00:23:53,448 --> 00:23:54,793
OH, VIBRANT.
495
00:23:54,793 --> 00:23:57,172
I'VE BEEN READING THAT
FOR A LONG TIME.
496
00:23:57,172 --> 00:23:58,586
BIG FAN.
THANK YOU.
497
00:23:58,586 --> 00:24:00,758
LOOK, I WOULD LOVE
TO TALK TO YOU,
498
00:24:00,758 --> 00:24:02,655
BUT I DO HAVE TO GET BACK
AND CLEAN UP
499
00:24:02,655 --> 00:24:07,275
AND MAKE ANOTHER BATCH
OF COOKIES IN A HURRY.
500
00:24:07,275 --> 00:24:09,586
MAYBE YOU COULD
COME BACK LATER.
501
00:24:13,724 --> 00:24:14,965
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?
502
00:24:14,965 --> 00:24:18,379
THAT'S MY GRANDPA
STANDING NEXT TO HER.
503
00:24:18,379 --> 00:24:20,310
WOW.
THEY LOOK LIKE A COUPLE.
504
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:23,827
YOU KNOW, I COULD HELP YOU MAKE
A NEW BATCH OF COOKIES,
505
00:24:23,827 --> 00:24:27,137
AND YOU COULD TELL ME A LITTLE
MORE ABOUT YOUR GRANDMOTHER.
506
00:24:27,137 --> 00:24:28,275
YOU COULD?
507
00:24:28,275 --> 00:24:29,827
YEAH, LET ME GO MAKE
A QUICK PHONE CALL
508
00:24:29,827 --> 00:24:31,413
WHILE I GRAB
THE PAINTING.
509
00:24:31,413 --> 00:24:32,482
THE PAINTING?
510
00:24:32,482 --> 00:24:34,862
OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER.
511
00:24:34,862 --> 00:24:36,862
WAIT, YOU HAVE A PAINTING
OF MY GRANDMOTHER, TOO?
512
00:24:43,103 --> 00:24:44,344
HI, MOM.
513
00:24:44,344 --> 00:24:46,655
CAN YOU TEXT ME
YOUR CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE?
514
00:24:46,655 --> 00:24:48,586
Which one?
Little soldier boy?
515
00:24:48,586 --> 00:24:51,448
THE CHOCOLATE
GONNA KNOCK YOU OUT,
516
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,413
OR MY SWEET DREAMS
OF CHRISTMAS?
517
00:24:53,413 --> 00:24:55,379
THE GINGERBREAD.
518
00:24:55,379 --> 00:24:59,551
AH, SUGAR AND SPICE
AND, OH, SO NICE.
519
00:24:59,551 --> 00:25:02,758
OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU'RE MAKING COOKIES?
520
00:25:02,758 --> 00:25:06,000
I thought you had a story
you were working on.
521
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,793
MICHAEL HAD
A LITTLE ACCIDENT.
522
00:25:07,793 --> 00:25:09,137
MICHAEL?
WHO'S MICHAEL?
523
00:25:09,137 --> 00:25:11,586
IT'S NOTHING.
524
00:25:11,586 --> 00:25:12,724
HE'S MARY'S GRANDSON.
525
00:25:12,724 --> 00:25:14,482
MM-HMM.
526
00:25:14,482 --> 00:25:16,758
MOM, IT'S NOT A MM-HMM.
527
00:25:16,758 --> 00:25:19,103
HE'S CUTE.
I CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR VOICE.
528
00:25:19,103 --> 00:25:20,965
OH, HE'S GORGEOUS.
529
00:25:20,965 --> 00:25:23,413
I MEAN, MOM, I'M WORKING
ON A STORY, OKAY?
530
00:25:23,413 --> 00:25:26,862
YEAH. WHAT DID HE SAY
ABOUT DAD?
531
00:25:26,862 --> 00:25:28,068
WE JUST MET.
532
00:25:28,068 --> 00:25:29,724
I'M GONNA ASK HIM.
533
00:25:29,724 --> 00:25:31,793
OKAY, I'M GONNA
TEXT YOU THE RECIPE.
534
00:25:31,793 --> 00:25:32,965
Good luck.
535
00:25:32,965 --> 00:25:34,172
THANKS, MOM.
536
00:25:40,896 --> 00:25:44,103
AH.
DEFINITELY MY GRANDMOTHER.
537
00:25:44,103 --> 00:25:46,103
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL,
MICHAEL.
538
00:25:51,413 --> 00:25:54,206
THE BOOK EXCHANGE WAS SOMETHING
SHE STARTED WAY BACK.
539
00:25:54,206 --> 00:25:55,689
SHE WAS A TEACHER, TOO.
540
00:25:55,689 --> 00:25:57,793
COMMUNITY AND LEARNING,
541
00:25:57,793 --> 00:25:59,896
THAT'S WHAT
SHE WAS ALL ABOUT.
542
00:25:59,896 --> 00:26:01,310
AND WE WANTED TO KEEP
THE SAME TRADITION.
543
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:03,620
AND THAT'S WHY I'M DRESSED
LIKE THIS, BY THE WAY.
544
00:26:03,620 --> 00:26:05,137
I THOUGHT
YOU WERE JUST GOING
545
00:26:05,137 --> 00:26:06,620
FOR A NEW LOOK
OR SOMETHING.
546
00:26:06,620 --> 00:26:08,517
I'M SANTA A COUPLE
TIMES A YEAR.
547
00:26:08,517 --> 00:26:09,827
REALLY?
548
00:26:09,827 --> 00:26:11,206
IT'S A PERK OF THE JOB.
549
00:26:11,206 --> 00:26:13,068
HEY, IF THERE'S ANYTHING
YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS,
550
00:26:13,068 --> 00:26:16,000
LET ME KNOW.
551
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,482
WOW. THEY REALLY
REMIND ME OF GRANDMA.
552
00:26:19,482 --> 00:26:22,448
YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS LITTLE,
I USED TO HELP HER BAKE.
553
00:26:22,448 --> 00:26:25,137
YOU DIDN'T LEARN ANYTHING
WHEN YOU WERE HELPING HER OUT?
554
00:26:25,137 --> 00:26:28,413
I WAS 5 AND MAINLY LICKING
A BOWL AND SPOONS.
555
00:26:29,586 --> 00:26:31,206
CHRISTMAS WAS
HER FAVORITE,
556
00:26:31,206 --> 00:26:33,103
AND THE FAMILY
LOVED HER COOKIES.
557
00:26:33,103 --> 00:26:34,551
SO DID THE TOWN.
558
00:26:34,551 --> 00:26:36,965
SHE SOUNDS LIKE MY MOM.
I CAN'T LIE.
559
00:26:36,965 --> 00:26:39,241
THIS IS HER
CHRISTMAS COOKIE RECIPE.
560
00:26:39,241 --> 00:26:40,448
MM.
561
00:26:40,448 --> 00:26:42,827
SHE'S LIKE THE QUEEN
OF CHRISTMAS.
562
00:26:42,827 --> 00:26:45,241
EVERY YEAR,
COOKIES, CAKES, PIES,
563
00:26:45,241 --> 00:26:47,586
BIG CHRISTMAS PARTY,
THE WORKS.
564
00:26:50,758 --> 00:26:51,931
WHAT IS IT?
565
00:26:51,931 --> 00:26:54,793
IT'S JUST THAT, UH,
DO YOU REALLY THINK
566
00:26:54,793 --> 00:26:57,586
THERE'S MORE TO OUR
GRANDPARENTS' RELATIONSHIP
567
00:26:57,586 --> 00:26:59,482
THAN JUST FRIENDSHIP?
568
00:26:59,482 --> 00:27:02,724
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S -- IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN.
569
00:27:02,724 --> 00:27:05,517
I...YOU KNOW,
I WENT THROUGH THE ATTIC
570
00:27:05,517 --> 00:27:07,000
AND WENT THROUGH
SOME OF HIS THINGS,
571
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,724
AND THERE WERE
UNFINISHED PAINTINGS
572
00:27:09,724 --> 00:27:13,068
AND STORIES
AND FRAGMENTS OF IDEAS.
573
00:27:13,068 --> 00:27:15,310
AND MARY WAS SOME BIT
OF THAT, BUT...
574
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:19,344
SEEING ALL THAT STUFF,
IT OPENED UP
575
00:27:19,344 --> 00:27:21,517
A LOT OF MEMORIES FOR ME,
576
00:27:21,517 --> 00:27:23,896
BUT I DON'T KNOW
HOW IT ALL FITS.
577
00:27:23,896 --> 00:27:25,896
AND YOU THINK GETTING
TO KNOW MY GRANDMA
578
00:27:25,896 --> 00:27:28,344
COULD HELP YOU PUT
SOME OF THE PIECES TOGETHER.
579
00:27:28,344 --> 00:27:30,034
MAYBE.
580
00:27:30,034 --> 00:27:33,206
A LOT OF MY GRANDMA'S STUFF
IS IN HER OLD ROOM.
581
00:27:33,206 --> 00:27:34,586
I MOVED IN A COUPLE
OF MONTHS AGO,
582
00:27:34,586 --> 00:27:37,551
BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN READY TO GO
THROUGH ANY OF HER STUFF YET.
583
00:27:37,551 --> 00:27:38,724
ARE YOU SURE
584
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:41,379
SHE NEVER MENTIONED
A CLARENCE COBB?
585
00:27:41,379 --> 00:27:44,551
I MEAN, I'LL ASK MY DAD,
BUT THAT'S HIS MOM.
586
00:27:44,551 --> 00:27:46,413
HOW LONG YOU
IN TOWN FOR?
587
00:27:46,413 --> 00:27:47,896
JUST A FEW DAYS.
588
00:27:47,896 --> 00:27:50,137
MAYBE YOU COULD
COME BY TOMORROW FOR LUNCH.
589
00:27:50,137 --> 00:27:52,724
- DAD WILL BE HERE.
- THAT'D BE GREAT.
590
00:27:52,724 --> 00:27:54,172
I'LL GO THROUGH SOME
OF HER STUFF TONIGHT.
591
00:27:54,172 --> 00:27:56,000
I'LL LET YOU KNOW
IF I CAN FIND ANYTHING.
592
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,137
OH, NO, YOU DON'T --
I JUST MEAN,
593
00:27:58,137 --> 00:28:01,310
I DON'T WANT YOU TO DO
ANYTHING YOU'RE NOT READY FOR.
594
00:28:01,310 --> 00:28:02,896
IT TOOK ME A WHILE,
TOO.
595
00:28:02,896 --> 00:28:05,551
TALKING TO YOU REALLY GOT ME
THINKING ABOUT HER.
596
00:28:05,551 --> 00:28:07,275
I WANT TO.
597
00:28:07,275 --> 00:28:10,137
HOPEFULLY I'LL HAVE
SOME NEWS FOR YOU TOMORROW.
598
00:28:10,137 --> 00:28:12,827
HEY, BEFORE YOU GO,
DO YOU MIND
599
00:28:12,827 --> 00:28:14,379
IF I TAKE A PHOTO
OF THE PAINTING?
600
00:28:14,379 --> 00:28:15,862
I COULD SEND IT
TO MY DAD NOW.
601
00:28:15,862 --> 00:28:17,724
NO, NOT AT ALL.
PLEASE.
602
00:28:17,724 --> 00:28:18,793
OH, COOL.
603
00:28:20,793 --> 00:28:22,034
NICE.
604
00:28:32,034 --> 00:28:35,586
WOW. YEAH,
THAT'S MOM, ALRIGHT.
605
00:28:35,586 --> 00:28:36,862
YEAH.
606
00:28:36,862 --> 00:28:38,448
I BET YOU
THE REAL THING'S INCREDIBLE.
607
00:28:38,448 --> 00:28:39,689
YEAH.
608
00:28:39,689 --> 00:28:41,655
IT'S JUST AMAZING
THAT THIS WOMAN
609
00:28:41,655 --> 00:28:43,413
WOULD HAVE A PAINTING
OF MOM.
610
00:28:43,413 --> 00:28:44,551
I TOLD LENA
611
00:28:44,551 --> 00:28:47,448
THAT YOU'LL BE HAPPY
TO SPEAK WITH HER ABOUT IT.
612
00:28:47,448 --> 00:28:50,448
LENA, HUH?
613
00:28:50,448 --> 00:28:52,586
BEAUTIFUL.
614
00:28:52,586 --> 00:28:55,172
LENA'S BEAUTIFUL?
615
00:28:55,172 --> 00:28:56,586
THE PAINTING, DAD.
616
00:28:56,586 --> 00:28:58,689
I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE PAINTING.
617
00:28:58,689 --> 00:29:01,482
SO WHERE IS
THIS LENA FROM?
618
00:29:01,482 --> 00:29:03,241
SHE FROM NEW YORK?
619
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,724
NO. WHY YOU SAY THAT?
620
00:29:05,724 --> 00:29:08,448
WELL, BECAUSE WHEN YOU SAID
HER NAME JUST NOW,
621
00:29:08,448 --> 00:29:11,896
YOU LIT UP THE SAME WAY YOU DO
WHEN YOU SAY "NEW YORK."
622
00:29:11,896 --> 00:29:14,241
SHE'S CUTE.
WELL, YOU KNOW.
623
00:29:14,241 --> 00:29:17,000
YEAH, I KNOW.
624
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,517
YOU TO KEEP YOUR HEAD
ON STRAIGHT, THOUGH.
625
00:29:18,517 --> 00:29:20,620
YEAH.
626
00:29:20,620 --> 00:29:22,724
I CAN'T BELIEVE NEW YORK
IS FINALLY HAPPENING.
627
00:29:22,724 --> 00:29:24,206
HMM.
628
00:29:24,206 --> 00:29:26,758
NEW YORK, NEW YORK.
629
00:29:26,758 --> 00:29:28,517
I REMEMBER
HOW EXCITED YOU WERE
630
00:29:28,517 --> 00:29:31,068
WHEN THAT ACCEPTANCE LETTER
CAME IN FROM COLUMBIA.
631
00:29:31,068 --> 00:29:32,206
I WANTED NOTHING MORE
632
00:29:32,206 --> 00:29:34,413
THAN TO BE ABLE
TO SEND YOU THERE BACK THEN,
633
00:29:34,413 --> 00:29:35,413
BUT, YOU KNOW...
634
00:29:35,413 --> 00:29:36,724
IT ALL WORKED OUT, DAD.
635
00:29:36,724 --> 00:29:39,655
AND IF THIS JOB TURNS OUT
AS GOOD AS I THINK IT WILL BE,
636
00:29:39,655 --> 00:29:42,344
MAYBE YOUR GRANDKIDS
WILL BE COLUMBIA GRADS.
637
00:29:42,344 --> 00:29:44,000
YOU TALKING ABOUT MY
WHAT NOW, GRANDKIDS?
638
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,103
SOMETHING YOU WANT
TO TELL ME, SON?
639
00:29:45,103 --> 00:29:46,034
YOU SURE?
640
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:47,655
NO, NO, NO.
ONE THING AT A TIME.
641
00:29:47,655 --> 00:29:49,586
ALRIGHT.
PRIORITIES.
642
00:29:49,586 --> 00:29:52,965
YES, AND NEW YORK
IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST.
643
00:29:52,965 --> 00:29:54,275
BOYS, TIME FOR DINNER.
644
00:31:49,344 --> 00:31:52,275
"MARY, I JUST WANTED
TO WRITE YOU A NOTE
645
00:31:52,275 --> 00:31:55,275
AND THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL
PICNIC ON SUNDAY.
646
00:31:55,275 --> 00:31:58,137
EVERY DAY WITH YOU
HAS BEEN A TREASURE.
647
00:31:58,137 --> 00:32:00,448
TIME SEEMS TO STAND STILL
AND AT THE SAME TIME
648
00:32:00,448 --> 00:32:03,275
MOVE TOO FAST
WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER.
649
00:32:03,275 --> 00:32:05,172
I LOOK FORWARD
TO SEEING YOU AGAIN.
650
00:32:05,172 --> 00:32:07,827
ALWAYS, CLARENCE."
651
00:32:09,586 --> 00:32:12,758
AND WHO WERE YOU EXACTLY,
CLARENCE?
652
00:32:22,379 --> 00:32:25,000
MICHAEL SEEMS LIKE
SUCH A NICE GUY.
653
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,137
THE FAMILY'S
A LOT LIKE OURS.
654
00:32:27,137 --> 00:32:30,931
SHOULD I SET ANOTHER PLACE
AT THE TABLE FOR CHRISTMAS?
655
00:32:30,931 --> 00:32:32,827
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
656
00:32:32,827 --> 00:32:34,862
YOU'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT MICHAEL, WHAT,
657
00:32:34,862 --> 00:32:36,103
FOR THE PAST 10 MINUTES?
658
00:32:36,103 --> 00:32:37,275
THAT DOESN'T MEAN
659
00:32:37,275 --> 00:32:39,931
I WANT YOU TO START
PLANNING OUR WEDDING.
660
00:32:39,931 --> 00:32:41,413
HE SOUNDS WONDERFUL.
661
00:32:41,413 --> 00:32:43,586
MOM.
662
00:32:43,586 --> 00:32:44,862
He really likes
Ella Fitzgerald?
663
00:32:44,862 --> 00:32:47,586
MOM, I'M WORKING.
OKAY?
664
00:32:47,586 --> 00:32:50,000
Okay, okay, but I think
you can multitask
665
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,724
AND FORGIVE ME
IF I'D RATHER TALK ABOUT YOU
666
00:32:52,724 --> 00:32:55,551
AND A NEW GUY THAN
MY FATHER AND A NEW WOMAN.
667
00:32:55,551 --> 00:32:57,344
I'M SORRY, MOM.
668
00:32:57,344 --> 00:33:00,000
OH, WELL, IT'LL BE
WHAT IT'LL BE, RIGHT?
669
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,758
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THERE
TO FIND OUT.
670
00:33:01,758 --> 00:33:03,896
I'M TALKING
TO MARY'S SON TOMORROW.
671
00:33:03,896 --> 00:33:05,310
MM.
672
00:33:07,172 --> 00:33:08,655
ARE YOU STILL THERE?
673
00:33:08,655 --> 00:33:11,241
YEAH, IT'S JUST...
674
00:33:11,241 --> 00:33:13,137
IF I DO FIND OUT
675
00:33:13,137 --> 00:33:16,827
THAT GRANDPA
HAD SOME OTHER LIFE
676
00:33:16,827 --> 00:33:20,413
or some kind of affair
or something,
677
00:33:20,413 --> 00:33:22,000
do you really want
to know?
678
00:33:23,344 --> 00:33:25,931
WELL, YOUR GRANDPA MAY HAVE,
AT ONE TIME,
679
00:33:25,931 --> 00:33:27,862
BEEN IN LOVE
WITH THIS MARY,
680
00:33:27,862 --> 00:33:29,724
but I have to believe
681
00:33:29,724 --> 00:33:31,620
that my mom
was his one true love,
682
00:33:31,620 --> 00:33:33,310
his one.
I've got to believe.
683
00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:35,206
I got to believe
that my father,
684
00:33:35,206 --> 00:33:37,620
WHATEVER THIS WAS,
IT WASN'T SOMETHING UGLY.
685
00:33:37,620 --> 00:33:42,068
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE
MY FATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL.
686
00:33:42,068 --> 00:33:44,206
HE REALLY WAS, WASN'T HE?
687
00:33:44,206 --> 00:33:46,103
LENA, BABY,
I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING,
688
00:33:46,103 --> 00:33:49,103
BUT MAYBE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR IS RIGHT THERE,
689
00:33:49,103 --> 00:33:51,103
RIGHT THERE IN PINEVILLE
690
00:33:51,103 --> 00:33:53,724
AND LIKES
ELLA FITZGERALD.
691
00:33:58,172 --> 00:34:01,310
DAD, LENA DOES SEEM
WELL-INTENTIONED.
692
00:34:01,310 --> 00:34:03,517
AND HOPEFULLY SHE IS.
693
00:34:03,517 --> 00:34:04,827
I JUST THINK
WE SHOULD HOLD OFF
694
00:34:04,827 --> 00:34:06,827
ON MENTIONING THESE LETTERS
TO HER JUST YET.
695
00:34:06,827 --> 00:34:08,103
THAT'S HER GRANDFATHER.
696
00:34:08,103 --> 00:34:10,586
YEAH, BUT THEY'RE LETTERS
TO MY MOTHER.
697
00:34:10,586 --> 00:34:12,137
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
KIND OF PRIVATE SECRETS
698
00:34:12,137 --> 00:34:13,724
ARE IN THESE THINGS YET.
699
00:34:13,724 --> 00:34:15,655
LOOK, YOU HAVEN'T READ
ANY OF THIS, HAVE YOU?
700
00:34:15,655 --> 00:34:17,000
NO, NOT YET.
I FELT A LITTLE...
701
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:19,793
GOOD. WHERE'D YOU SAY
YOU FOUND THIS ANYWAY?
702
00:34:19,793 --> 00:34:23,655
I FOUND IT IN HER OLD TRUNK
WITH THE REST OF HER STUFF.
703
00:34:23,655 --> 00:34:26,379
YOU DO UNDERSTAND WHERE
I'M COMING FROM, RIGHT?
704
00:34:26,379 --> 00:34:28,068
I JUST THINK
I SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE
705
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:29,827
TO LOOK THROUGH
ALL THESE MYSELF FIRST.
706
00:34:29,827 --> 00:34:31,103
MM-HMM.
707
00:34:31,103 --> 00:34:32,275
I'D LIKE TO AT LEAST
HAVE A CHAT WITH LENA
708
00:34:32,275 --> 00:34:35,655
BEFORE WE SAY ANYTHING
ABOUT THEM, THAT'S ALL.
709
00:34:35,655 --> 00:34:40,896
MICHAEL, THIS GIRL...
IS SHE NICE?
710
00:34:40,896 --> 00:34:42,758
KATHY.
ALLEN.
711
00:34:48,413 --> 00:34:50,620
I'VE GOT NOTHING.
712
00:34:50,620 --> 00:34:53,344
ZERO, ZIP.
713
00:35:01,241 --> 00:35:02,344
HI.
714
00:35:02,344 --> 00:35:04,103
SO HOW'S IT GOING?
715
00:35:04,103 --> 00:35:05,655
GREAT.
716
00:35:05,655 --> 00:35:07,172
SEND ME SOMETHING.
717
00:35:07,172 --> 00:35:08,896
Oh, God, no.
718
00:35:08,896 --> 00:35:11,931
I MEAN,
IT'S REALLY ROUGH RIGHT NOW.
719
00:35:11,931 --> 00:35:14,137
YOU DID INTERVIEWS,
RIGHT?
720
00:35:14,137 --> 00:35:15,689
JUST THE GRANDSON,
REALLY.
721
00:35:15,689 --> 00:35:18,206
GRANDSON.
SO HOW'S THE LOVE ANGLE?
722
00:35:18,206 --> 00:35:21,344
UH, WELL, VIVIAN,
723
00:35:21,344 --> 00:35:23,206
HE SEEMS REALLY NICE,
724
00:35:23,206 --> 00:35:26,206
But trying
to be professional.
725
00:35:26,206 --> 00:35:27,827
ARE YOU REALLY?
726
00:35:27,827 --> 00:35:29,896
I WAS TALKING
ABOUT THE LOVE ANGLE
727
00:35:29,896 --> 00:35:32,172
BETWEEN YOUR GRANDFATHER
AND HIS GRANDMOTHER,
728
00:35:32,172 --> 00:35:33,551
BUT NOW THAT
YOU BRING IT UP...
729
00:35:33,551 --> 00:35:34,862
I'M CONDUCTING INTERVIEWS
730
00:35:34,862 --> 00:35:36,724
WITH THE REST
OF THE FAMILY TODAY.
731
00:35:36,724 --> 00:35:38,517
IN FACT, I SHOULD
PROBABLY BE GOING.
732
00:35:38,517 --> 00:35:40,000
OKAY, KEEP ME POSTED.
733
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,551
I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO SEEING WHAT YOU GOT.
734
00:35:41,551 --> 00:35:44,206
ME TOO.
735
00:36:13,931 --> 00:36:15,275
TONI MORRISON.
736
00:36:15,275 --> 00:36:18,241
ONE OF MY FAVORITES.
MINE TOO.
737
00:36:24,413 --> 00:36:26,068
MOM, DAD,
THIS IS THE WOMAN
738
00:36:26,068 --> 00:36:27,965
I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT,
LENA JONES.
739
00:36:27,965 --> 00:36:30,517
LENA, WE'VE HEARD
A LOT ABOUT YOU.
740
00:36:30,517 --> 00:36:32,482
I'M ALLEN.
THIS IS MY WIFE, KATHY.
741
00:36:32,482 --> 00:36:34,551
WHAT A LOVELY SWEATER.
742
00:36:34,551 --> 00:36:36,482
THANK YOU.
743
00:36:36,482 --> 00:36:40,965
MICHAEL TELLS ME YOU WRITE
FOR VIBRANT MAGAZINE.
744
00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:42,793
IT'S NOT OFFICIAL YET,
745
00:36:42,793 --> 00:36:45,379
BUT I'M HOPING THIS STORY
WILL CHANGE THAT.
746
00:36:45,379 --> 00:36:48,931
THIS IS A STORY ABOUT MY MOM
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER?
747
00:36:48,931 --> 00:36:50,379
YES.
748
00:36:50,379 --> 00:36:54,689
DID YOUR MOTHER EVER HAPPEN
TO MENTION A CLARENCE COBB?
749
00:36:54,689 --> 00:36:57,241
WHY DON'T WE TAKE
A LITTLE WALK?
750
00:36:57,241 --> 00:36:58,310
OKAY.
751
00:36:58,310 --> 00:36:59,931
BYE.
752
00:36:59,931 --> 00:37:02,137
SEE YA.
753
00:37:02,137 --> 00:37:05,068
SO YOU'RE
FROM THE BAY AREA?
754
00:37:05,068 --> 00:37:06,344
OAKLAND.
MY WHOLE LIFE.
755
00:37:06,344 --> 00:37:08,413
YEAH, MY WIFE, KATHY,
IS FROM OAKLAND, TOO.
756
00:37:08,413 --> 00:37:10,206
OH, YEAH? WHAT PART?
757
00:37:10,206 --> 00:37:11,344
SHE GREW UP IN MONTCLAIR.
758
00:37:11,344 --> 00:37:13,379
- I'M FROM MONTCLAIR.
- REALLY?
759
00:37:13,379 --> 00:37:16,275
YEAH.
760
00:37:16,275 --> 00:37:18,689
HOW LONG HAVE YOU
TWO BEEN TOGETHER?
761
00:37:18,689 --> 00:37:21,482
WOW. ALMOST 35 YEARS.
WOW.
762
00:37:21,482 --> 00:37:23,482
WERE YOUR PARENTS
TOGETHER FOREVER, TOO?
763
00:37:23,482 --> 00:37:27,379
SURE SEEMS LIKE IT,
BUT...
764
00:37:27,379 --> 00:37:31,344
YOU KNOW, LENA, EVERY
RELATIONSHIP HAS ITS TRIALS.
765
00:37:31,344 --> 00:37:32,517
YEAH.
766
00:37:32,517 --> 00:37:35,275
AND...WOW.
767
00:37:35,275 --> 00:37:37,827
THIS IS ACTUALLY
REALLY HARD TO TALK ABOUT.
768
00:37:37,827 --> 00:37:40,310
UM...MICHAEL DOESN'T KNOW
ANY OF THIS,
769
00:37:40,310 --> 00:37:45,034
BUT THERE WAS A ROUGH PATCH
THERE BEFORE HE WAS BORN.
770
00:37:46,275 --> 00:37:49,965
MOM AND DAD, THEY WERE
GOING THROUGH SOME THINGS.
771
00:37:49,965 --> 00:37:51,206
I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS ANYTHING SERIOUS.
772
00:37:51,206 --> 00:37:52,724
I CERTAINLY DIDN'T THINK
773
00:37:52,724 --> 00:37:54,965
MY MOTHER HAD AN AFFAIR
OR ANYTHING.
774
00:37:54,965 --> 00:37:56,206
BUT NOW
ALL OF THIS COMING UP
775
00:37:56,206 --> 00:37:59,379
WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER
MAKES ME WONDER
776
00:37:59,379 --> 00:38:02,344
IF MAYBE THERE WAS SOMETHING
TO THOSE ARGUMENTS
777
00:38:02,344 --> 00:38:03,655
THEY HAD BACK THEN.
778
00:38:03,655 --> 00:38:06,344
AND TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW
IF YOUR GRANDFATHER
779
00:38:06,344 --> 00:38:10,103
HAD SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THAT OR NOT.
780
00:38:10,103 --> 00:38:13,586
MY MOM SEEMS TO BE WORRIED
ABOUT THE SAME THING.
781
00:38:13,586 --> 00:38:15,206
MAYBE I AM, TOO.
782
00:38:17,793 --> 00:38:20,620
I ALWAYS THOUGHT
MY GRANDPARENTS WERE SOUL MATES.
783
00:38:20,620 --> 00:38:24,827
MICHAEL SAID THE SAME
ABOUT YOUR PARENTS.
784
00:38:24,827 --> 00:38:27,793
GROWING UP, DID YOUR MOM
EVER MENTION ANYTHING
785
00:38:27,793 --> 00:38:32,827
ABOUT A CRIME STORY
OR REPORTER?
786
00:38:32,827 --> 00:38:34,517
NO, BUT YOUR GRANDFATHER
787
00:38:34,517 --> 00:38:36,827
WAS A CRIME REPORTER,
I ASSUME?
788
00:38:36,827 --> 00:38:40,793
WRITER, BUT IT SEEMS HE WAS
WORKING ON A STORY HERE.
789
00:38:42,344 --> 00:38:46,827
WELL, MICHAEL FOUND
SOME LETTERS.
790
00:38:46,827 --> 00:38:49,896
HE DID?
FROM MY GRANDPA?
791
00:38:49,896 --> 00:38:51,275
THAT'S AMAZING.
792
00:38:51,275 --> 00:38:53,137
I DON'T KNOW WHAT STORY
YOUR GRANDFATHER WAS WORKING ON,
793
00:38:53,137 --> 00:38:56,206
BUT TO BE HONEST,
I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE
794
00:38:56,206 --> 00:38:59,275
WHAT KIND OF STORY
YOU'RE WORKING ON.
795
00:38:59,275 --> 00:39:02,931
WELL, ME NEITHER, REALLY.
I LOVE MY GRANDPA.
796
00:39:02,931 --> 00:39:07,068
YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
I KNEW HIM PRETTY WELL.
797
00:39:07,068 --> 00:39:08,896
AND THEN
798
00:39:08,896 --> 00:39:11,620
I FOUND THAT BEAUTIFUL
PAINTING OF YOUR MOTHER,
799
00:39:11,620 --> 00:39:15,275
AND IT JUST OPENED
A WORLD OF THINGS
800
00:39:15,275 --> 00:39:16,758
I NEVER KNEW.
801
00:39:20,379 --> 00:39:22,862
I JUST WANT
THE STORY BEHIND IT,
802
00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:25,482
WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.
803
00:39:25,482 --> 00:39:27,310
WELL, THEN I IMAGINE
THESE LETTERS
804
00:39:27,310 --> 00:39:29,724
WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL
TO YOU.
805
00:39:29,724 --> 00:39:31,413
BUT IF IT'S ALL THE SAME
TO YOU,
806
00:39:31,413 --> 00:39:33,103
I'D JUST LIKE
TO HAVE THE CHANCE
807
00:39:33,103 --> 00:39:34,965
TO LOOK THROUGH THEM
MYSELF FIRST.
808
00:39:34,965 --> 00:39:37,068
I JUST LIKE TO FIND OUT
ON MY OWN
809
00:39:37,068 --> 00:39:39,931
IF THERE WAS ANYTHING GOING ON
DURING THEIR MARRIAGE
810
00:39:39,931 --> 00:39:44,172
RATHER THAN READ ABOUT IT
IN A NATIONAL MAGAZINE.
811
00:39:44,172 --> 00:39:46,413
UNDERSTAND?
OF COURSE.
812
00:39:46,413 --> 00:39:48,758
THANK YOU.
813
00:39:48,758 --> 00:39:49,793
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN
814
00:39:49,793 --> 00:39:51,034
TO HAVE THE PAINTING,
WOULD YOU?
815
00:39:51,034 --> 00:39:52,137
MICHAEL SENT ME A PICTURE,
816
00:39:52,137 --> 00:39:55,517
BUT I WOULD LOVE
TO SEE THE REAL THING.
817
00:39:55,517 --> 00:39:57,931
WOW.
818
00:39:57,931 --> 00:40:00,655
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
819
00:40:00,655 --> 00:40:02,448
IT WAS PAINTED HERE.
820
00:40:02,448 --> 00:40:05,655
- WHAT?
- WHAT?
821
00:40:05,655 --> 00:40:08,896
THERE USED TO BE
A WALL RIGHT HERE.
822
00:40:08,896 --> 00:40:11,862
THEY KNOCKED IT DOWN.
823
00:40:11,862 --> 00:40:15,103
I REMEMBER IT
LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY.
824
00:40:15,103 --> 00:40:17,551
I'M GONNA GO THROUGH
THE REST OF THE LETTERS TONIGHT.
825
00:40:17,551 --> 00:40:20,206
LENA AND I HAD A LITTLE CHAT.
826
00:40:20,206 --> 00:40:22,413
WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME OVER
FOR DINNER TONIGHT?
827
00:40:22,413 --> 00:40:25,068
I MEAN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE
SINCE I'VE TALKED TO SOMEONE
828
00:40:25,068 --> 00:40:26,793
FROM THE BRIGHT SIDE
OF THE BAY.
829
00:40:26,793 --> 00:40:28,103
THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
830
00:40:28,103 --> 00:40:30,655
7:00?
7:00 IS PERFECT.
831
00:40:30,655 --> 00:40:32,517
I THINK I'M GONNA BE
A LITTLE LATE.
832
00:40:32,517 --> 00:40:35,793
OH, DID SOMEBODY
INVITE YOU?
833
00:40:35,793 --> 00:40:37,310
STEPHANIE IS
RETURNING TONIGHT.
834
00:40:37,310 --> 00:40:39,068
I WAS GONNA PICK HER UP
FROM THE TRAIN STATION.
835
00:40:39,068 --> 00:40:41,344
OH, THAT'S SO NICE.
I'LL GET TO MEET YOUR SISTER.
836
00:40:41,344 --> 00:40:43,758
SHE'S NOT MY SISTER.
SHE'S MY GIRLFRIEND.
837
00:40:43,758 --> 00:40:45,344
YOUR WHAT NOW?
838
00:40:53,137 --> 00:40:55,413
AND HE LIKES
TONI MORRISON?
839
00:40:55,413 --> 00:40:56,965
AND HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND.
840
00:40:56,965 --> 00:40:59,862
YOU'RE GOING TO DINNER,
RIGHT?
841
00:40:59,862 --> 00:41:02,482
YEAH, I STILL HAVE
A STORY TO WRITE.
842
00:41:02,482 --> 00:41:03,551
HOPEFULLY MICHAEL'S DAD
843
00:41:03,551 --> 00:41:04,931
WILL AGREE TO LET ME
READ THE LETTERS.
844
00:41:04,931 --> 00:41:06,482
LETTERS?
845
00:41:06,482 --> 00:41:08,586
GRANDPA APPARENTLY
WROTE MARY,
846
00:41:08,586 --> 00:41:10,379
LIKE,
A STACK OF LETTERS.
847
00:41:10,379 --> 00:41:12,482
WELL, LOVE LETTERS?
848
00:41:12,482 --> 00:41:13,827
I don't know, Mom.
849
00:41:13,827 --> 00:41:15,137
THAT'S WHAT
I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT.
850
00:41:15,137 --> 00:41:16,793
MICHAEL FOUND THEM
WHEN HE WAS GOING
THROUGH HER STUFF.
851
00:41:16,793 --> 00:41:19,206
AND YOU DIDN'T FIND
ANY LETTERS UP THERE
852
00:41:19,206 --> 00:41:20,827
WHEN YOU WERE
LOOKING AROUND?
853
00:41:23,517 --> 00:41:25,413
I DIDN'T LOOK
THROUGH EVERYTHING.
854
00:41:32,758 --> 00:41:34,689
I AM SO GLAD
YOU COULD MAKE IT.
855
00:41:34,689 --> 00:41:36,448
OH, THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME.
856
00:41:36,448 --> 00:41:38,068
OF COURSE, HONEY.
YES.
857
00:41:38,068 --> 00:41:39,172
IS MICHAEL HERE?
858
00:41:39,172 --> 00:41:40,551
NOT YET.
859
00:41:40,551 --> 00:41:41,965
CAN I HELP YOU
IN THE KITCHEN?
860
00:41:41,965 --> 00:41:45,310
OH. NO, WE ARE GOOD.
THANK YOU.
861
00:41:45,310 --> 00:41:49,103
THIS IS SUCH A LOVELY TOWN.
862
00:41:49,103 --> 00:41:52,344
YEAH, WELL,
IT'S NOT OAKLAND.
863
00:41:52,344 --> 00:41:54,724
NO, IT'S NOT.
864
00:41:54,724 --> 00:41:58,724
COULD YOU EVER SEE YOURSELF
LIVING IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
865
00:42:00,827 --> 00:42:02,896
I DON'T KNOW.
866
00:42:02,896 --> 00:42:05,896
YOU KNOW,
MY FAMILY'S IN THE CITY.
867
00:42:05,896 --> 00:42:07,827
IT'S MY HOME.
MM-HMM.
868
00:42:07,827 --> 00:42:10,689
I GUESS...NO.
869
00:42:10,689 --> 00:42:13,000
RIGHT. OKAY.
870
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,689
NO, I...I KNOW I'M YOUNG,
AND I HAVE A LOT TO LEARN,
871
00:42:16,689 --> 00:42:20,241
BUT I KNOW ONE THING --
OAKLAND IS MY HOME.
872
00:42:20,241 --> 00:42:22,241
I LOVE IT.
873
00:42:22,241 --> 00:42:24,482
I LIKE YOU, LENA.
874
00:42:24,482 --> 00:42:27,551
MICHAEL WAS GONNA MOVE
TO SAN FRANCISCO, YOU KNOW.
875
00:42:27,551 --> 00:42:28,482
OH.
876
00:42:28,482 --> 00:42:30,448
MAYBE I'M OVERSTATING.
877
00:42:30,448 --> 00:42:34,931
HE HAD A JOB OFFER THERE
AFTER COLLEGE.
878
00:42:34,931 --> 00:42:38,275
NOW HE'S TALKING
ABOUT NEW YORK AGAIN.
879
00:42:38,275 --> 00:42:41,034
NEW YORK.
WE'LL SEE.
880
00:42:41,034 --> 00:42:42,689
HE'S BEEN TALKING ABOUT
MOVING TO NEW YORK
881
00:42:42,689 --> 00:42:44,965
SINCE HE WAS
A LITTLE BOY.
882
00:42:44,965 --> 00:42:46,793
BUT SOMETHING
ALWAYS CAME UP,
883
00:42:46,793 --> 00:42:48,586
TOOK HIM IN ANOTHER
DIRECTION, YOU KNOW?
884
00:42:48,586 --> 00:42:49,655
MM-HMM.
885
00:42:49,655 --> 00:42:51,793
IT'S A DREAM OF HIS.
886
00:42:51,793 --> 00:42:56,137
I HOPE HE FINALLY
MAKES IT THIS TIME.
887
00:42:56,137 --> 00:42:57,551
YEAH.
888
00:43:03,827 --> 00:43:05,379
WELCOME HOME, STEPHANIE.
889
00:43:05,379 --> 00:43:06,517
HOW WAS YOUR TRIP?
890
00:43:06,517 --> 00:43:07,793
UGH.
WELL, LET ME TELL YOU,
891
00:43:07,793 --> 00:43:09,586
I WAS SITTING NEXT TO THIS
MAN WHO'S SNORING...
892
00:43:09,586 --> 00:43:10,931
I WAS TELLING MY SISTER
893
00:43:10,931 --> 00:43:12,448
THAT IF SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GO
50-50 ON THE TICKETS,
894
00:43:12,448 --> 00:43:15,172
THEN WE'D HAVE TO FIGURE
SOMETHING ELSE OUT.
895
00:43:15,172 --> 00:43:18,137
I MEAN, IF WE'RE ALL GOING
ON THIS VACATION TOGETHER...
896
00:43:18,137 --> 00:43:19,241
HELLO.
897
00:43:19,241 --> 00:43:22,241
HI.
HI.
898
00:43:22,241 --> 00:43:24,689
...EVERYONE'S GOT
TO PITCH IN.
899
00:43:24,689 --> 00:43:26,862
STEPHANIE, THIS IS THE WRITER
I WAS TELLING ABOUT,
900
00:43:26,862 --> 00:43:28,620
LENA JONES.
HI.
901
00:43:28,620 --> 00:43:30,517
I USED TO WRITE FOR THE PAPER
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
902
00:43:30,517 --> 00:43:32,000
OH.
903
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,586
IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
THOSE WERE SUCH GOOD DAYS.
904
00:43:34,586 --> 00:43:37,344
SO ARE YOU WRITING A STORY
ABOUT US?
905
00:43:37,344 --> 00:43:41,344
UM...WELL, MICHAEL'S
FAMILY TECHNICALLY,
906
00:43:41,344 --> 00:43:43,551
BUT MAINLY HIS GRANDMA.
907
00:43:43,551 --> 00:43:46,724
HIS GRANDMA
LOVED ME SO MUCH.
908
00:43:46,724 --> 00:43:50,034
Lord.
I MISS HER.
909
00:43:50,034 --> 00:43:53,827
ANYHOO, WE WERE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT
910
00:43:53,827 --> 00:43:55,896
IF WE'RE GONNA GO
TO THE OUTER BANKS AGAIN
911
00:43:55,896 --> 00:43:57,137
OR TO MYRTLE BEACH.
912
00:43:57,137 --> 00:43:58,310
I HAVEN'T BEEN TO
MYRTLE BEACH, EXCEPT --
913
00:43:58,310 --> 00:44:00,344
STEPHANIE, THAT IS NICE.
IT IS.
914
00:44:00,344 --> 00:44:03,724
BUT WE WEREN'T REALLY TALKING
ABOUT YOUR VACATION SO MUCH.
915
00:44:03,724 --> 00:44:04,931
WE WERE ACTUALLY TALKING
916
00:44:04,931 --> 00:44:06,310
ABOUT LENA'S GRANDFATHER
AND HIS LETTERS.
917
00:44:06,310 --> 00:44:07,655
AND WHEN I READ THEM,
918
00:44:07,655 --> 00:44:10,586
HE DID OCCASIONALLY
KEEP MENTIONING "THE STORY."
919
00:44:10,586 --> 00:44:11,827
I CAN ONLY ASSUME
920
00:44:11,827 --> 00:44:14,000
THAT'S THE STORY YOU
MENTIONED EARLIER, LENA?
921
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,896
DO THE LETTERS
GO INTO ANY MORE DETAIL?
922
00:44:15,896 --> 00:44:18,275
NOT MUCH.
YOU SEE, YOUR GRANDFATHER
923
00:44:18,275 --> 00:44:20,724
WAS CONVINCED
SOME MAN WAS INNOCENT.
924
00:44:20,724 --> 00:44:22,379
WAS THIS PERSON IN TOWN?
925
00:44:22,379 --> 00:44:24,172
NO, BUT HIS BROTHER WAS.
926
00:44:24,172 --> 00:44:25,551
I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
927
00:44:25,551 --> 00:44:27,172
HE STOPPED HERE
TO BEGIN WITH.
928
00:44:27,172 --> 00:44:28,448
BUT THE MAN
HE WAS TRYING TO HELP
929
00:44:28,448 --> 00:44:30,310
WAS ACTUALLY
IN SAN FRANCISCO,
930
00:44:30,310 --> 00:44:33,586
AND THAT'S WHY HE LEFT
PINEVILLE SO ABRUPTLY.
931
00:44:33,586 --> 00:44:36,068
WAS THERE ANY MENTION
OF THE PORTRAIT?
932
00:44:36,068 --> 00:44:39,724
I MEAN, WAS IT
WHILE THEY WERE MARRIED?
933
00:44:39,724 --> 00:44:42,689
NEAR AS I CAN TELL
FROM LOOKING AT THE DATES,
934
00:44:42,689 --> 00:44:45,344
HE CAME THROUGH TOWN
FOLLOWING THIS STORY.
935
00:44:45,344 --> 00:44:47,206
MOM WAS DEFINITELY
LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM
936
00:44:47,206 --> 00:44:48,862
RETURNING AFTER HE FOUND
WHATEVER IT WAS
937
00:44:48,862 --> 00:44:52,068
HE WAS LOOKING FOR,
BUT IT SEEMS HE GOT A JOB
938
00:44:52,068 --> 00:44:55,068
WHILE HE WAS AWAY
AND HE NEVER CAME BACK.
939
00:44:55,068 --> 00:44:57,931
MOM AND DAD GOT MARRIED
SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
940
00:44:57,931 --> 00:45:00,068
THE LAST CHRISTMAS
IN PINEVILLE.
941
00:45:00,068 --> 00:45:02,862
YEAH, I DON'T THINK
IT WAS CHRISTMASTIME, THOUGH.
942
00:45:02,862 --> 00:45:04,551
I THINK HE JUST PAINTED
THAT PORTRAIT
943
00:45:04,551 --> 00:45:07,724
WHILE HE WAS AWAY
AND NEVER SENT IT.
944
00:45:07,724 --> 00:45:10,655
THAT'S PROBABLY WHY
YOUR FAMILY HAS IT.
945
00:45:10,655 --> 00:45:12,241
LOOK,
AT THE END OF THE DAY,
946
00:45:12,241 --> 00:45:14,827
I'M JUST RELIEVED TO KNOW
THERE WAS NOTHING GOING ON
947
00:45:14,827 --> 00:45:17,448
DURING MY MOM
AND DAD'S MARRIAGE,
948
00:45:17,448 --> 00:45:20,586
BUT YOU CAN READ ALL THAT
FOR YOURSELF IN THE LETTERS.
949
00:45:20,586 --> 00:45:22,689
- IT'S OKAY?
- ABSOLUTELY.
950
00:45:22,689 --> 00:45:23,827
IF YOU DON'T MIND,
951
00:45:23,827 --> 00:45:25,413
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK
AT THE LETTERS, TOO.
952
00:45:25,413 --> 00:45:26,896
WE CAN SPLIT THEM UP
IF YOU LIKE.
953
00:45:26,896 --> 00:45:30,172
SOUNDS GREAT.
954
00:45:30,172 --> 00:45:32,862
HMM,
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
955
00:45:34,344 --> 00:45:36,310
MM.
956
00:45:39,931 --> 00:45:41,206
TRADE TOMORROW?
957
00:45:41,206 --> 00:45:44,241
SURE THING.
958
00:45:44,241 --> 00:45:48,241
I THANK YOU FOR DINNER
AND EVERYTHING.
959
00:45:48,241 --> 00:45:50,862
OUR PLEASURE.
960
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,137
HEY, MOM.
961
00:46:29,137 --> 00:46:31,551
I THINK
I MAY HAVE FOUND SOMETHING
962
00:46:31,551 --> 00:46:33,241
TO HELP YOUR STORY ALONG.
963
00:46:33,241 --> 00:46:34,896
It's coming along
great now.
964
00:46:34,896 --> 00:46:36,241
I'M READING
GRAMPA'S LETTERS.
965
00:46:36,241 --> 00:46:37,586
I JUST FOUND MARY'S.
966
00:46:37,586 --> 00:46:39,482
WHAT?
967
00:46:39,482 --> 00:46:43,241
MM-HMM. THERE ARE, LIKE,
ALMOST A DOZEN HERE.
968
00:46:43,241 --> 00:46:44,827
MOM,
CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR?
969
00:46:44,827 --> 00:46:46,344
SCAN THEM
AND SEND THEM TO ME.
970
00:46:46,344 --> 00:46:48,620
SURE, SURE, AND YOU DO
THE SAME WITH DAD'S.
971
00:46:48,620 --> 00:46:49,896
YOU GOT IT.
972
00:47:08,517 --> 00:47:11,965
"CLARENCE,
I ADMIRE YOUR COURAGE.
973
00:47:11,965 --> 00:47:14,068
EVEN THOUGH
IT'S ONLY BEEN A FEW WEEKS,
974
00:47:14,068 --> 00:47:16,931
I FEEL AS THOUGH
I'VE KNOWN YOU FOREVER.
975
00:47:16,931 --> 00:47:20,448
I DO HOPE YOU FIND THE TRUTH
IN SAN FRANCISCO,
976
00:47:20,448 --> 00:47:24,241
BUT I ALSO HOPE THAT YOU KEEP
YOUR PROMISE AND RETURN TO ME."
977
00:47:24,241 --> 00:47:26,034
"I'VE BEEN
HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD
978
00:47:26,034 --> 00:47:29,000
AND WHO KNEW THAT I WOULD FIND
SOMEONE IN PINEVILLE?
979
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,586
ROSA'S BROTHER WAS INDEED
THE MISSING CLUE.
980
00:47:31,586 --> 00:47:34,379
AND THANKS TO HIM,
HE'LL BE A FREE MAN."
981
00:47:34,379 --> 00:47:35,827
"I KEEP THINKING OF THE NIGHT
982
00:47:35,827 --> 00:47:37,827
WE DANCED TOGETHER.
983
00:47:37,827 --> 00:47:39,931
DO YOU REMEMBER THAT SONG?"
984
00:47:39,931 --> 00:47:42,413
"A-TISKET, A-TASKET.
985
00:47:42,413 --> 00:47:44,724
MARY, MY LOVE,
I'M SORRY TO SAY,
986
00:47:44,724 --> 00:47:45,965
IT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE LONGER
987
00:47:45,965 --> 00:47:48,620
BEFORE I'M ABLE
TO RETURN TO PINEVILLE.
988
00:47:48,620 --> 00:47:50,137
A GENTLEMAN
FROM THE "EAST BAY TIMES"
989
00:47:50,137 --> 00:47:52,000
WAS IMPRESSED WITH MY STORY
990
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,551
AND HAS APPROACHED ME
ABOUT A JOB.
991
00:47:54,551 --> 00:47:57,896
BUT I PROMISE
THAT I WILL RETURN."
992
00:47:57,896 --> 00:48:01,068
"I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU'VE
KEPT IN TOUCH, CLARENCE.
993
00:48:01,068 --> 00:48:03,172
I HAVE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE
ON FERGUSON'S LITTLE GIRL,
994
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,344
CLAUDIA,
THESE PAST FEW DAYS.
995
00:48:05,344 --> 00:48:07,620
I MUST BE SPEAKING OF YOU
RATHER FONDLY
996
00:48:07,620 --> 00:48:10,689
AS SHE KEEPS ASKING
WHEN YOU ARE COMING BACK.
997
00:48:10,689 --> 00:48:13,275
I KEEP ASKING MYSELF
THE SAME THING.
998
00:48:13,275 --> 00:48:15,137
I CAN'T WAIT FOREVER,
CLARENCE."
999
00:48:21,068 --> 00:48:22,241
FINISHED YOURS?
1000
00:48:22,241 --> 00:48:23,620
YEAH. JUST NOW. YOU?
1001
00:48:23,620 --> 00:48:25,448
YEP.
READY TO TRADE?
1002
00:48:25,448 --> 00:48:27,034
SURE THING.
1003
00:48:33,137 --> 00:48:34,241
WHAT'S THAT?
1004
00:48:34,241 --> 00:48:36,137
MY MOM.
1005
00:48:36,137 --> 00:48:38,793
SHE WANTS A PICTURE
OF MY SMILING FACE.
1006
00:48:38,793 --> 00:48:40,551
WELL, I CAN'T SAY
I BLAME HER.
1007
00:48:40,551 --> 00:48:43,793
OH.
1008
00:48:43,793 --> 00:48:45,965
YOU CAN'T?
1009
00:48:45,965 --> 00:48:47,103
NO.
1010
00:48:48,551 --> 00:48:52,172
UM...
1011
00:48:52,172 --> 00:48:53,827
WHERE'S STEPHANIE
THIS MORNING?
1012
00:48:53,827 --> 00:48:55,448
SHE LEFT EARLY
THIS MORNING.
1013
00:48:55,448 --> 00:48:57,482
SHE DOES A LOT
OF DAY TRIPS FOR WORK.
1014
00:48:59,586 --> 00:49:01,517
YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND TAKE
YOUR PHOTO FOR YOUR MOM.
1015
00:49:01,517 --> 00:49:02,758
I DON'T MIND.
1016
00:49:08,379 --> 00:49:10,965
YOU DID NOT JUST
PHOTOBOMB MY SELFIE.
1017
00:49:10,965 --> 00:49:13,482
HEY, I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF.
MY BAD.
1018
00:49:13,482 --> 00:49:14,586
YOU CAN RETAKE IT.
1019
00:49:14,586 --> 00:49:16,758
OH, NO, I'M SAVING THAT
FOR POSTERITY.
1020
00:49:27,068 --> 00:49:29,758
IT'S THE SAME ONE,
1021
00:49:29,758 --> 00:49:31,551
THE SAME ONE
THAT'S IN THE PAINTING.
1022
00:49:31,551 --> 00:49:32,827
HMM?
1023
00:49:32,827 --> 00:49:35,379
I MEAN, IT LOOKS LIKE IT
FOR SURE,
1024
00:49:35,379 --> 00:49:39,000
BUT...I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
1025
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,068
I THINK YOUR GRANDFATHER
DID COME BACK.
1026
00:49:41,068 --> 00:49:44,862
HE WORKED AT THE "EAST BAY
TIMES" FOR 50 YEARS.
1027
00:49:44,862 --> 00:49:46,241
HE GOT THE JOB
AND NEVER CAME BACK,
1028
00:49:46,241 --> 00:49:48,137
LIKE YOUR DAD SAID.
1029
00:49:48,137 --> 00:49:50,172
THIS IS
A SPECIAL ORNAMENT.
1030
00:49:50,172 --> 00:49:52,034
I MEAN,
THERE'S A LOCAL EMPORIUM
1031
00:49:52,034 --> 00:49:54,103
WHERE YOU COULD PAINT
YOUR OWN ORNAMENTS.
1032
00:49:54,103 --> 00:49:55,275
IT'S BEEN HERE FOREVER.
1033
00:49:55,275 --> 00:49:57,413
YOU SEE THIS GOLD FRAME
AROUND THIS ORNAMENT?
1034
00:49:59,344 --> 00:50:01,896
I THINK YOUR GRANDFATHER
DID COME BACK TO PINEVILLE
1035
00:50:01,896 --> 00:50:03,724
AND PAINTED HIS PORTRAIT.
1036
00:50:03,724 --> 00:50:05,000
YEAH,
BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW
1037
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,551
IT WASN'T PAINTED
BEFORE HE LEFT?
1038
00:50:06,551 --> 00:50:08,344
LOOKING AT THE DATES
ON THESE LETTERS,
1039
00:50:08,344 --> 00:50:10,793
OTIS' STORE DIDN'T OPEN
UNTIL AFTER
1040
00:50:10,793 --> 00:50:13,586
YOUR GRANDFATHER
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GONE.
1041
00:50:13,586 --> 00:50:15,172
OUR FAMILY HAD
QUITE A FEW ORNAMENTS
1042
00:50:15,172 --> 00:50:16,275
JUST LIKE THIS ONE.
1043
00:50:16,275 --> 00:50:18,137
AND THEY'RE ALL
FROM THE SAME SHOP.
1044
00:50:18,137 --> 00:50:19,896
IS THE SHOP STILL AROUND?
1045
00:50:19,896 --> 00:50:22,379
YEAH. AND THE GUY
WHO RUNS THE SHOP,
1046
00:50:22,379 --> 00:50:25,275
HE MIGHT -- YOU MIGHT
REMEMBER YOUR GRANDPA.
1047
00:50:39,586 --> 00:50:40,620
MICHAEL.
OTIS.
1048
00:50:40,620 --> 00:50:42,517
- HOW ARE YOU?
- DOING GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
1049
00:50:42,517 --> 00:50:44,965
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
- GOOD TO SEE YOU.
1050
00:50:44,965 --> 00:50:48,517
HI. YOU'RE NOT STEPHANIE.
1051
00:50:48,517 --> 00:50:50,413
- YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.
- OH.
1052
00:50:50,413 --> 00:50:52,344
- I'M LENA.
- NICE TO MEET YOU.
1053
00:50:52,344 --> 00:50:55,103
DO YOU GUYS NEED ANY HELP
SELECTING AN ORNAMENT TO PAINT?
1054
00:50:55,103 --> 00:50:57,482
ACTUALLY, WE WANTED TO...I'D LIKE TO PAINT
1055
00:50:57,482 --> 00:50:59,551
A RUDOLPH ORNAMENT,
IF YOU HAVE ONE.
1056
00:50:59,551 --> 00:51:02,241
YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO HAVE
A LITTLE CHRISTMAS BELL.
1057
00:51:02,241 --> 00:51:04,344
ABSOLUTELY.
HMM.
1058
00:51:11,379 --> 00:51:12,862
SORRY, I GOT SIDETRACKED.
1059
00:51:12,862 --> 00:51:16,689
JUST SEEING EVERYTHING,
I GOT REALLY EXCITED.
1060
00:51:16,689 --> 00:51:17,758
IT'S OKAY.
1061
00:51:17,758 --> 00:51:19,586
OTIS SEEMED
A LITTLE BUSY NOW ANYWAY.
1062
00:51:19,586 --> 00:51:22,482
I DON'T MIND WAITING.
1063
00:51:22,482 --> 00:51:25,310
I LOVE PAINTING.
1064
00:51:25,310 --> 00:51:26,931
MY GRANDPA AND I USED TO
PAINT TOGETHER.
1065
00:51:26,931 --> 00:51:28,724
IT SHOWS.
1066
00:51:28,724 --> 00:51:31,448
I AM NOT QUITE
AS GOOD AS HE WAS.
1067
00:51:31,448 --> 00:51:32,965
YOU'RE NOT BAD.
1068
00:51:32,965 --> 00:51:35,275
THANK YOU.
1069
00:51:35,275 --> 00:51:37,827
OH, I HAVEN'T DONE
ANYTHING LIKE THIS
1070
00:51:37,827 --> 00:51:39,793
IN A LONG TIME.
ME NEITHER.
1071
00:51:39,793 --> 00:51:41,551
STEPHANIE DOESN'T
PAINT ORNAMENTS/
1072
00:51:41,551 --> 00:51:44,827
OH, SHE DOES.
SHE'S PRETTY CRAFTY, BUT...
1073
00:51:44,827 --> 00:51:46,137
YOU KNOW.
1074
00:51:46,137 --> 00:51:48,448
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT.
I'M BETTER COMPANY.
1075
00:51:50,965 --> 00:51:54,241
MAYBE.
1076
00:51:56,068 --> 00:51:57,620
THANK YOU.
THAT WAS SO FUN.
1077
00:51:57,620 --> 00:51:59,344
THANK YOU.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1078
00:51:59,344 --> 00:52:02,000
OH, SORRY. I HAD TO TAKE
CARE OF A CUSTOMER.
1079
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,448
SO WHAT DID YOU WANT
TO ASK ME ABOUT?
1080
00:52:05,448 --> 00:52:07,172
AN OLD ORNAMENT.
1081
00:52:07,172 --> 00:52:09,827
DOES THIS RING A BELL?
1082
00:52:09,827 --> 00:52:12,241
I FOUND IT WITH SOME
OF MY GRANDMA'S STUFF.
1083
00:52:12,241 --> 00:52:14,758
THIS IS ONE
OF MY FIRST ORNAMENTS.
1084
00:52:14,758 --> 00:52:18,551
YEAH, MY THIRD ONE.
1085
00:52:18,551 --> 00:52:20,482
WHO ARE YOU?
1086
00:52:20,482 --> 00:52:23,620
I'M CLARENCE COBB'S
GRANDDAUGHTER.
1087
00:52:23,620 --> 00:52:25,620
DO YOU REMEMBER HIM?
1088
00:52:25,620 --> 00:52:27,310
REMEMBER HIM?
1089
00:52:27,310 --> 00:52:30,379
CLARENCE COBB
SAVED MY BROTHER'S LIFE.
1090
00:52:30,379 --> 00:52:32,137
YOU KNOW, MICHAEL,
I KNEW YOUR GRANDFATHER
1091
00:52:32,137 --> 00:52:33,482
A LITTLE BIT
BACK IN THE DAY.
1092
00:52:33,482 --> 00:52:34,620
HE BOUGHT THAT ORNAMENT
1093
00:52:34,620 --> 00:52:36,379
AND GAVE IT TO
YOUR GRANDMOTHER, MARY,
1094
00:52:36,379 --> 00:52:37,827
WHEN HE ASKED HER
TO MARRY HIM.
1095
00:52:37,827 --> 00:52:40,103
WAIT.
MY GRANDPA PROPOSED?
1096
00:52:40,103 --> 00:52:41,758
NO, NO,
NOT YOUR GRANDPA.
1097
00:52:41,758 --> 00:52:43,068
MICHAEL'S GRANDPA,
RICHARD.
1098
00:52:43,068 --> 00:52:44,551
THEY DID GET MARRIED,
YOU KNOW.
1099
00:52:44,551 --> 00:52:46,206
CLARENCE HAD
ALREADY LEFT TOWN.
1100
00:52:46,206 --> 00:52:49,000
YES, I KNOW.
I-I'M CONFUSED.
1101
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,068
I THOUGHT MY GRANDPA
GAVE MARY THE ORNAMENT.
1102
00:52:52,068 --> 00:52:55,034
ARE YOU SURE? IT'S THE SAME ONE
FROM THE PORTRAIT.
1103
00:52:55,034 --> 00:52:57,068
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT A PORTRAIT.
1104
00:53:06,965 --> 00:53:08,103
OH, THAT'S --
1105
00:53:08,103 --> 00:53:10,586
THAT'S DEFINITELY
THE ORNAMENT
1106
00:53:10,586 --> 00:53:13,068
AND THAT'S
DEFINITELY MARY.
1107
00:53:13,068 --> 00:53:17,379
GOD, SHE SURE WAS
A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
1108
00:53:17,379 --> 00:53:19,620
CLARENCE AND MARY DID SPEND
A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER
1109
00:53:19,620 --> 00:53:21,068
BEFORE HE LEFT TOWN.
1110
00:53:21,068 --> 00:53:24,931
I MEAN, HE WAS SO WORLDLY,
SO CHARMING, YOU KNOW?
1111
00:53:24,931 --> 00:53:26,862
MY GRANDFATHER
KNEW HIM?
1112
00:53:26,862 --> 00:53:28,103
NO, HE WAS STILL SERVING
IN THE ARMY.
1113
00:53:28,103 --> 00:53:30,206
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
HE CAME TO TOWN
1114
00:53:30,206 --> 00:53:32,448
RIGHT AFTER CLARENCE
HAD LEFT FOR GOOD.
1115
00:53:32,448 --> 00:53:34,862
WHY WAS MY GRANDPA IN PINEVILLE
IN THE FIRST PLACE?
1116
00:53:34,862 --> 00:53:38,068
YOUR GRANDFATHER, CLARENCE,
WAS WORKING ON A STORY
1117
00:53:38,068 --> 00:53:41,275
ABOUT MY BROTHER WILSON,
WHO HAD GOTTEN INVOLVED
1118
00:53:41,275 --> 00:53:44,620
IN A VERY SERIOUS CRIME
IN SAN FRANCISCO.
1119
00:53:44,620 --> 00:53:47,275
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER
WAS CONVINCED
1120
00:53:47,275 --> 00:53:48,931
THAT HE WAS
TOTALLY INNOCENT,
1121
00:53:48,931 --> 00:53:51,000
AND HE CAME INTO TOWN
BECAUSE HE WANTED
1122
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,758
TO TALK TO ME
ABOUT MY BROTHER.
1123
00:53:52,758 --> 00:53:55,862
HE WENT OUT AND FOUND
A CRITICAL WITNESS TO THE CRIME.
1124
00:53:55,862 --> 00:53:58,793
HE JUST UP AND LEFT.
HE WAS GONE.
1125
00:53:58,793 --> 00:54:01,413
MICHAEL, YOUR GRANDFATHER
CAME TO TOWN,
1126
00:54:01,413 --> 00:54:03,482
AND HE STARTED
SEEING MARY.
1127
00:54:03,482 --> 00:54:05,965
AND THEN OUT
OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY,
1128
00:54:05,965 --> 00:54:08,862
YOUR GRANDFATHER, CLARENCE,
CALLS ME AND TELLS ME
1129
00:54:08,862 --> 00:54:12,413
THAT MY BROTHER WILSON
IS RELEASED FROM PRISON.
1130
00:54:12,413 --> 00:54:13,448
- AHH.
- YEAH.
1131
00:54:13,448 --> 00:54:15,241
AFTER THE TRIAL,
1132
00:54:15,241 --> 00:54:16,896
YOU KNOW,
I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN.
1133
00:54:16,896 --> 00:54:18,517
MY BROTHER AND I
WERE IN EUROPE
1134
00:54:18,517 --> 00:54:20,172
CELEBRATING UNTIL
THE NEW YEAR.
1135
00:54:20,172 --> 00:54:22,034
CLARENCE NEVER CAME BACK.
1136
00:54:22,034 --> 00:54:25,310
I THINK THAT MUST HAVE BROKE
MARY'S HEART A LITTLE BIT.
1137
00:54:25,310 --> 00:54:28,034
BUT YOUR GRANDFATHER,
RICHARD,
1138
00:54:28,034 --> 00:54:30,275
MADE SURE THAT
BROKEN HEART MENDED,
1139
00:54:30,275 --> 00:54:31,551
AND THAT'S FOR SURE,
1140
00:54:31,551 --> 00:54:33,862
BECAUSE THEY WERE
TOTALLY INSEPARABLE.
1141
00:54:33,862 --> 00:54:36,103
SOUNDS LIKE A BIG STORY.
1142
00:54:36,103 --> 00:54:38,137
NO ONE EVER MENTIONED
A CLARENCE.
1143
00:54:38,137 --> 00:54:40,241
NOR A CLARENCE AND MARY.
1144
00:54:40,241 --> 00:54:41,758
OH, NO, NO, NO.
1145
00:54:41,758 --> 00:54:43,689
WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT
CLARENCE OR MARY
1146
00:54:43,689 --> 00:54:46,620
OUT OF RESPECT
TO YOUR GRANDFATHER.
1147
00:54:46,620 --> 00:54:48,068
WOW.
1148
00:54:48,068 --> 00:54:51,206
MAYBE HE PAINTED IT
1149
00:54:51,206 --> 00:54:54,275
AND WAS GONNA SEND IT
TO HER FROM OAKLAND.
1150
00:54:54,275 --> 00:54:55,448
MAYBE.
1151
00:54:55,448 --> 00:54:56,620
MY GRANDPA
WAS A GOOD PAINTER,
1152
00:54:56,620 --> 00:54:58,689
BUT I CAN'T IMAGINE HIM
PAINTING SOMETHING
1153
00:54:58,689 --> 00:55:00,517
THAT DETAILED
FROM MEMORY.
1154
00:55:00,517 --> 00:55:02,448
- YEAH.
- HE HAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE.
1155
00:55:02,448 --> 00:55:04,931
OR AT LEAST HAD A PHOTO.
1156
00:55:04,931 --> 00:55:06,655
HMM.
1157
00:55:06,655 --> 00:55:10,586
BUT OTIS SAID
HE NEVER CAME BACK.
1158
00:55:10,586 --> 00:55:13,724
BUT READING
THOSE LETTERS...
1159
00:55:13,724 --> 00:55:16,137
...THEY REALLY SEEM
TO CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER.
1160
00:55:20,310 --> 00:55:22,379
I WONDER WHY SHE DIDN'T
GO WITH HIM.
1161
00:55:22,379 --> 00:55:25,586
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE
MY GRANDMA WITH ANYONE ELSE,
1162
00:55:25,586 --> 00:55:27,103
BUT IT'S EVEN HARDER
TO IMAGINE
1163
00:55:27,103 --> 00:55:28,758
HER LIVING
ANYWHERE ELSE.
1164
00:55:28,758 --> 00:55:30,034
HOW SO?
1165
00:55:30,034 --> 00:55:31,241
SHE LOVED THIS TOWN.
1166
00:55:31,241 --> 00:55:34,206
SHE WASN'T MUCH
FOR TRAVELING.
1167
00:55:34,206 --> 00:55:36,206
DID THAT SKIP A GENERATION
AND LAND ON YOU?
1168
00:55:36,206 --> 00:55:38,827
NO, LIKE THE BAKING,
I HAD MY FILL OF PINEVILLE.
1169
00:55:38,827 --> 00:55:41,103
IT'S TIME TO MAKE A MOVE.
1170
00:55:41,103 --> 00:55:42,965
REALLY?
YEAH.
1171
00:55:42,965 --> 00:55:44,931
YOUR MOM MENTIONED SOMETHING
ABOUT NEW YORK.
1172
00:55:44,931 --> 00:55:46,758
STEPH GOT
A JOB OFFER THERE.
1173
00:55:46,758 --> 00:55:48,965
WHAT'S SHE DO?
1174
00:55:48,965 --> 00:55:51,551
SHE'S IN
PHARMACEUTICAL SALES.
1175
00:55:51,551 --> 00:55:53,448
SHE'S DOING PRETTY WELL
FOR HERSELF.
1176
00:55:53,448 --> 00:55:56,000
SHE GOT THIS JOB OFFER
THAT SHE CAN'T PASS UP.
1177
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,310
I VISITED NEW YORK IN HIGH
SCHOOL ON A CLASS TRIP,
1178
00:55:58,310 --> 00:56:00,137
AND I FELL IN LOVE
WITH IT.
1179
00:56:00,137 --> 00:56:04,620
I WAS GONNA THERE FOR COLLEGE,
BUT WE COULDN'T AFFORD IT.
1180
00:56:07,068 --> 00:56:09,655
SAN FRANCISCO
IS NICE, TOO.
1181
00:56:09,655 --> 00:56:12,206
YOUR MOM MENTIONED
YOU HAD A JOB OFFER THERE?
1182
00:56:12,206 --> 00:56:15,482
MOM THINKS THAT.
I ALMOST HAD A JOB.
1183
00:56:15,482 --> 00:56:19,206
THERE WAS THIS RECRUITER.
BIG FINANCE COMPANY.
1184
00:56:19,206 --> 00:56:21,310
I STUDIED FINANCE
IN COLLEGE, TOO.
1185
00:56:21,310 --> 00:56:23,344
YEAH, BUT...
1186
00:56:23,344 --> 00:56:25,586
WHAT?
1187
00:56:25,586 --> 00:56:28,000
I KNOW THIS
MAY SOUND SILLY,
1188
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,034
BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
ANYONE THERE AT THE TIME.
1189
00:56:30,034 --> 00:56:34,068
GRANDMA AND GRANDPA
WAS STILL AROUND THEN.
1190
00:56:34,068 --> 00:56:37,827
GRANDPA GOT SICK,
SO THEY NEEDED MY HELP.
1191
00:56:37,827 --> 00:56:40,137
I FELT LIKE I CAN WAIT.
1192
00:56:40,137 --> 00:56:41,551
PINEVILLE, THAT'S FAMILIAR.
1193
00:56:41,551 --> 00:56:43,827
A LOT OF FRIENDS
STILL IN TOWN?
1194
00:56:43,827 --> 00:56:46,482
A LOT SINCE MOVED
TO SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND.
1195
00:56:46,482 --> 00:56:48,689
OH, YEAH?
YEAH.
1196
00:56:48,689 --> 00:56:50,965
FRIENDS IN OAKLAND, HUH?
1197
00:56:50,965 --> 00:56:52,241
A FEW.
1198
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:56,068
WELL,
NOW YOU HAVE ONE MORE.
1199
00:56:56,068 --> 00:56:58,965
HMM.
1200
00:56:58,965 --> 00:57:01,344
- MICHAEL.
- HEY, THERE.
1201
00:57:01,344 --> 00:57:02,448
I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
1202
00:57:02,448 --> 00:57:04,103
FOR KEEPING
THE BOOK EXCHANGE GOING.
1203
00:57:04,103 --> 00:57:05,793
YOUR GRANDMA
WOULD BE SO PROUD.
1204
00:57:05,793 --> 00:57:07,000
YEAH.
1205
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,551
AND THIS YEAR'S COOKIES
WERE DELICIOUS.
1206
00:57:08,551 --> 00:57:10,206
THEY WERE ALMOST
AS GOOD AS HERS.
1207
00:57:10,206 --> 00:57:11,862
- DID YOU BAKE THEM?
- AS A MATTER OF FACT,
1208
00:57:11,862 --> 00:57:13,482
IT WAS THIS YOUNG LADY
RIGHT HERE.
1209
00:57:13,482 --> 00:57:14,482
HI.
1210
00:57:14,482 --> 00:57:16,793
LENA JONES
MEET CLAUDIA FERGUSON.
1211
00:57:16,793 --> 00:57:18,379
MY GRANDMA USED
TO TAKE CARE OF HER
1212
00:57:18,379 --> 00:57:19,689
WHEN SHE WAS
A LITTLE GIRL.
1213
00:57:19,689 --> 00:57:20,793
AND WHEN SHE GOT OLDER,
1214
00:57:20,793 --> 00:57:22,448
SHE STARTED HELPING
OUT WITH MY GRANDMA.
1215
00:57:22,448 --> 00:57:25,413
CLAUDIA.
SHE WAS IN THE LETTERS.
1216
00:57:25,413 --> 00:57:26,379
WHAT?
1217
00:57:26,379 --> 00:57:27,689
YOU KEPT ASKING
1218
00:57:27,689 --> 00:57:29,793
WHEN MY GRANDPA
WAS GONNA COME BACK.
1219
00:57:29,793 --> 00:57:31,551
I ONLY READ IT
IN THE LETTERS,
1220
00:57:31,551 --> 00:57:32,896
BUT I JUST KEPT IMAGINING
1221
00:57:32,896 --> 00:57:35,586
THIS LITTLE GIRL
SO DISAPPOINTED
1222
00:57:35,586 --> 00:57:38,275
THAT MY GRANDPA
NEVER CAME BACK.
1223
00:57:38,275 --> 00:57:40,517
YOUR CLARENCE'S
GRANDDAUGHTER?
1224
00:57:40,517 --> 00:57:42,068
YEAH.
1225
00:57:42,068 --> 00:57:43,551
BUT HE DID COME BACK.
1226
00:57:48,448 --> 00:57:51,275
CLARENCE.
GRANDPA.
1227
00:57:51,275 --> 00:57:54,551
I REMEMBER WHEN HE SHOWED ME
THOSE INITIALS.
1228
00:57:54,551 --> 00:57:57,103
I WAS JUST TICKLED PINK.
1229
00:57:57,103 --> 00:57:59,068
THINKING ABOUT IT,
THEY PROBABLY HAD TO DO IT
1230
00:57:59,068 --> 00:58:02,827
THE FIRST TIME
HE CAME OUT TO VISIT.
1231
00:58:02,827 --> 00:58:05,172
I REMEMBER YOUR GRANDMOTHER
BEING SO EXCITED
1232
00:58:05,172 --> 00:58:08,275
WHEN SHE WENT TO THE TRAIN
STATION TO PICK HIM UP.
1233
00:58:08,275 --> 00:58:11,275
SHE WAS WATCHING ME THAT DAY,
SO SHE TOOK ME WITH HER
1234
00:58:11,275 --> 00:58:13,896
WHEN SHE GOT HER HAIR DONE.
1235
00:58:13,896 --> 00:58:15,655
SHE GOT A NEW DRESS.
1236
00:58:15,655 --> 00:58:18,241
SHE SEEMED SO GROWN UP.
1237
00:58:18,241 --> 00:58:21,344
YOUR GRANDMOTHER WAS ACTUALLY
REALLY PLAYFUL WITH ME,
1238
00:58:21,344 --> 00:58:24,172
KIND OF LIKE A BIG KID.
1239
00:58:24,172 --> 00:58:26,103
SHE WAS MY KINDERGARTEN TEACHER,
YOU KNOW.
1240
00:58:26,103 --> 00:58:27,586
HMM.
1241
00:58:27,586 --> 00:58:29,586
AND I REMEMBER THINKING
THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER
1242
00:58:29,586 --> 00:58:33,896
WAS JUST
SO HANDSOME AND TALL.
1243
00:58:35,448 --> 00:58:38,310
YEAH, WE SPENT THE DAY TOGETHER.
1244
00:58:38,310 --> 00:58:41,241
I REMEMBER ASKING THEM,
"YOU GONNA GET MARRIED?"
1245
00:58:41,241 --> 00:58:43,172
YOUR GRANDMAMA,
SHE HUSHED ME.
1246
00:58:43,172 --> 00:58:44,344
THAT'S THE FIRST TIME
1247
00:58:44,344 --> 00:58:46,137
I'VE EVER SEEN HER
EMBARRASSED.
1248
00:58:46,137 --> 00:58:50,724
COME TO THINK ABOUT IT,
IT'S PROBABLY WHY I REMEMBER IT.
1249
00:58:50,724 --> 00:58:54,689
IT WAS A PARTY
IN THE TOWN SQUARE.
1250
00:58:54,689 --> 00:58:57,103
IT WAS CHRISTMASTIME.
1251
00:58:57,103 --> 00:59:00,034
WHAT IS IT?
1252
00:59:00,034 --> 00:59:03,689
EVERYONE SEEMED SO HAPPY
TO SEE CLARENCE AGAIN.
1253
00:59:03,689 --> 00:59:05,103
YEAH.
1254
00:59:05,103 --> 00:59:06,655
EXCEPT YOUR GRANDFATHER,
MICHAEL.
1255
00:59:08,758 --> 00:59:11,586
SEEMS THEY GOT
IN A LITTLE BIT OF A DUST-UP.
1256
00:59:11,586 --> 00:59:13,448
CLARENCE AND YOUR GRANDFATHER.
1257
00:59:13,448 --> 00:59:15,241
WHAT HAPPENED?
1258
00:59:15,241 --> 00:59:19,103
I HAD TO GO HOME,
BUT DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA.
1259
00:59:19,103 --> 00:59:21,758
YOUR GRANDFATHER
WAS A VERY NICE MAN.
1260
00:59:21,758 --> 00:59:22,931
YEAH.
1261
00:59:22,931 --> 00:59:25,413
AND YOUR GRANDMOTHER
WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL.
1262
00:59:25,413 --> 00:59:28,379
NO WONDER SHE HAD ALL THE BOYS
FIGHTING FOR HER AFFECTION.
1263
00:59:28,379 --> 00:59:30,103
YEAH.
1264
00:59:30,103 --> 00:59:31,724
IS THERE
ANYONE ELSE IN TOWN
1265
00:59:31,724 --> 00:59:33,689
WHO WOULD HAVE
KNOWN THEM AT THAT TIME?
1266
00:59:36,482 --> 00:59:39,103
GABE SMITH SPENT A LOT OF TIME
WITH YOUR GRANDFATHER
1267
00:59:39,103 --> 00:59:40,275
FROM WHAT I REMEMBER.
1268
00:59:40,275 --> 00:59:41,517
OH, GABE SMITH.
1269
00:59:41,517 --> 00:59:42,758
GABE SMITH?
1270
00:59:42,758 --> 00:59:45,620
YEAH, WHEN HE WASN'T WITH MARY,
HE WAS WITH HIM.
1271
00:59:45,620 --> 00:59:47,517
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY.
1272
00:59:47,517 --> 00:59:51,000
I JUST REMEMBER THEM SPENDING
A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER.
1273
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:54,517
- IS HE STILL IN TOWN?
- GABE SMITH.
1274
00:59:54,517 --> 00:59:56,551
YEAH, HE HAS
A CHRISTMAS-TREE LOT.
1275
00:59:56,551 --> 01:00:00,206
THIS IS HIS BUSIEST TIME
OF THE YEAR.
1276
01:00:00,206 --> 01:00:01,517
WHICH REMINDS ME,
1277
01:00:01,517 --> 01:00:05,689
I STILL HAVE TO GET A TREE
FOR THE CAFE TONIGHT.
1278
01:00:05,689 --> 01:00:07,344
WELL, LET'S GO
GET A CHRISTMAS TREE.
1279
01:00:07,344 --> 01:00:08,310
LET'S GO
GET A CHRISTMAS TREE.
1280
01:00:18,965 --> 01:00:20,000
DO YOU SEE HIM?
1281
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,034
NO, HE'S AROUND
HERE SOMEWHERE.
1282
01:00:22,034 --> 01:00:24,448
HE KNOWS ME.
HE'LL FIND US.
1283
01:00:25,896 --> 01:00:27,586
I FEEL LIKE A BIG KID
AT CHRISTMAS.
1284
01:00:27,586 --> 01:00:29,517
THIS IS SO EXCITING.
1285
01:00:29,517 --> 01:00:31,896
YEAH.
1286
01:00:31,896 --> 01:00:33,172
ARE YOU OKAY?
1287
01:00:33,172 --> 01:00:36,068
YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST HEARING
ALL THE STORIES
1288
01:00:36,068 --> 01:00:38,620
AND READING
ALL THE LETTERS,
1289
01:00:38,620 --> 01:00:41,586
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR GRANDPA
WAS CRAZY ABOUT MY GRANDMA.
1290
01:00:41,586 --> 01:00:43,793
OH, I CAN'T BLAME HIM.
1291
01:00:43,793 --> 01:00:45,793
NOW, I AM GLAD
HE WOUND UP WITH MY GRANDMA...
1292
01:00:45,793 --> 01:00:48,448
OBVIOUSLY.
1293
01:00:48,448 --> 01:00:49,862
I KNOW THIS SOUNDS
SELF-CENTERED,
1294
01:00:49,862 --> 01:00:52,793
BUT BEFORE
THESE PAST FEW DAYS,
1295
01:00:52,793 --> 01:00:54,586
I JUST NEVER
GAVE MUCH THOUGHT
1296
01:00:54,586 --> 01:00:56,413
TO MY GRANDPARENTS
BEING YOUNG.
1297
01:00:56,413 --> 01:00:58,275
YEAH. IT'S LIKE, YOU KNOW,
SEEING THE PICTURES
1298
01:00:58,275 --> 01:00:59,724
AND HEARING THE STORIES
1299
01:00:59,724 --> 01:01:02,137
ABOUT ALL THE WILD NIGHTS
AND PARTIES,
1300
01:01:02,137 --> 01:01:03,758
KIND OF LIKE
HAVE YOU THINKING,
1301
01:01:03,758 --> 01:01:05,931
LIKE,
WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
1302
01:01:05,931 --> 01:01:07,586
I'M GLAD
YOU'RE HERE TO HELP.
1303
01:01:07,586 --> 01:01:09,862
HELP?
WITH THE TREE.
1304
01:01:09,862 --> 01:01:11,689
OH, GRANDMA WOULD NEVER
FORGIVE ME
1305
01:01:11,689 --> 01:01:13,862
IF I FORGOT TO PUT A TREE UP
IN THE CAFE.
1306
01:01:13,862 --> 01:01:17,275
I HAVEN'T PICKED OUT A TREE
SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL,
1307
01:01:17,275 --> 01:01:19,034
SO I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH HELP I'LL BE.
1308
01:01:19,034 --> 01:01:21,275
YOU SAID YOUR MOTHER
WAS THE QUEEN OF CHRISTMAS.
1309
01:01:21,275 --> 01:01:22,965
OH, SHE IS.
1310
01:01:22,965 --> 01:01:25,586
AND WHAT THE QUEEN WANTS,
THE QUEEN GETS.
1311
01:01:25,586 --> 01:01:27,413
WELL, HOW ABOUT
1312
01:01:27,413 --> 01:01:29,586
YOU WOULD LIKE
TO BE A QUEEN FOR A DAY.
1313
01:01:29,586 --> 01:01:31,965
I'D LIKE THAT VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU.
1314
01:01:34,482 --> 01:01:36,068
THIS ONE.
1315
01:01:36,068 --> 01:01:37,931
UH, YOU SURE?
1316
01:01:37,931 --> 01:01:40,758
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
TALL AND SLENDER.
1317
01:01:40,758 --> 01:01:44,068
AND IT WOULD BE CALLED
THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA.
1318
01:01:45,034 --> 01:01:46,137
I'LL GIVE YOU A TIP,
YOUR HIGHNESS.
1319
01:01:46,137 --> 01:01:47,965
THE KEY TO PICKING OUT
A TREE
1320
01:01:47,965 --> 01:01:50,310
IS THE NAME THAT COMES TO MIND
WHEN YOU SEE IT.
1321
01:01:50,310 --> 01:01:52,310
MM-HMM.
1322
01:01:52,310 --> 01:01:54,517
THIS ONE'S PERFECT,
MICHAEL.
1323
01:01:54,517 --> 01:01:59,068
WHAT NAME COMES TO MIND
WHEN YOU SEE THIS?
1324
01:01:59,068 --> 01:02:02,034
♪ A-TISKET, A-TASKET ♪
1325
01:02:02,034 --> 01:02:04,275
♪ A BIG, BRIGHT
CHRISTMAS BASKET ♪
1326
01:02:06,344 --> 01:02:08,551
THIS IS THE ONE.
1327
01:02:08,551 --> 01:02:11,620
MICHAEL.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1328
01:02:11,620 --> 01:02:13,482
SOMEBODY SAID
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ME.
1329
01:02:17,655 --> 01:02:19,310
CLARENCE WAS
A DEAR FRIEND.
1330
01:02:19,310 --> 01:02:21,310
HE USED TO COME OUT HERE
AND WRITE,
1331
01:02:21,310 --> 01:02:22,344
PAINT THE TREES.
1332
01:02:22,344 --> 01:02:24,620
WE'D STAY UP LATE
SOME NIGHTS TALKING.
1333
01:02:24,620 --> 01:02:26,172
WHAT DID YOU
TALK ABOUT?
1334
01:02:26,172 --> 01:02:31,000
EVERYTHING, LIFE, LOVE,
WHAT WE WERE GONNA DO.
1335
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,000
LOOKING BACK NOW,
1336
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:36,862
HECK, I REALLY HAVEN'T THOUGHT
ABOUT IT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME.
1337
01:02:36,862 --> 01:02:40,206
CERTAINLY NOT CLARENCE
AND MARY AND THE BREAK-UP.
1338
01:02:40,206 --> 01:02:42,689
WHAT EXACTLY
HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM?
1339
01:02:42,689 --> 01:02:45,000
HOW DID THEY BREAK UP?
WHY DID THEY BREAK UP?
1340
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,379
CLARENCE WAS GOING BACK
TO THE BAY.
1341
01:02:46,379 --> 01:02:48,965
IT WAS AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
HE GOT A JOB.
1342
01:02:48,965 --> 01:02:50,551
SHE WOULDN'T GO?
1343
01:02:50,551 --> 01:02:51,758
SHE WAS THINKING ABOUT IT.
1344
01:02:51,758 --> 01:02:54,517
ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS COME BACK
AND GET HER.
1345
01:02:54,517 --> 01:02:56,758
BUT HE KEPT
DELAYING HIS RETURN.
1346
01:02:56,758 --> 01:02:59,931
BY THE TIME HE CAME BACK
TO PINEVILLE THAT CHRISTMAS,
1347
01:02:59,931 --> 01:03:02,172
YOUR GRANDMOTHER
HAD FOUND RICHARD.
1348
01:03:02,172 --> 01:03:03,896
IT WAS OVER.
1349
01:03:03,896 --> 01:03:07,034
MARY LOVED CLARENCE.
1350
01:03:07,034 --> 01:03:09,827
BUT SHE LOVED HIM AS A FRIEND
BY THE TIME HE CAME BACK.
1351
01:03:09,827 --> 01:03:11,896
- AND IT WAS TOO LATE THEN.
- YEAH.
1352
01:03:11,896 --> 01:03:13,620
SHE HAD FALLEN FOR RICHARD.
1353
01:03:13,620 --> 01:03:15,034
BAD TIMING.
1354
01:03:15,034 --> 01:03:16,517
WELL, MAYBE.
1355
01:03:16,517 --> 01:03:20,206
BUT NOTHING WAS GONNA STOP
CLARENCE GOING BACK TO THE BAY.
1356
01:03:20,206 --> 01:03:22,241
MARY WAS NEVER GONNA LEAVE
PINEVILLE
1357
01:03:22,241 --> 01:03:23,689
NOW THAT SHE FOUND RICHARD.
1358
01:03:23,689 --> 01:03:24,862
THAT SEALED THE DEAL.
1359
01:03:24,862 --> 01:03:28,862
SO MARY AND CLARENCE,
JUST...
1360
01:03:28,862 --> 01:03:30,379
PASSING SHIPS
IN THE NIGHT, HUH?
1361
01:03:30,379 --> 01:03:32,068
OH, NO,
IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
1362
01:03:32,068 --> 01:03:34,482
HECK, THAT'S WHY HE PAINTED
THAT PAINTING.
1363
01:03:34,482 --> 01:03:36,931
I STILL REMEMBER
WHEN HE GAVE IT TO HER.
1364
01:03:36,931 --> 01:03:38,275
WAIT.
HE GAVE IT TO HER?
1365
01:03:38,275 --> 01:03:40,551
- SURE.
- WOW.
1366
01:03:40,551 --> 01:03:42,103
IT WAS SKETCHED DURING A PARTY
AT THE CAFE
1367
01:03:42,103 --> 01:03:44,482
WHEN MARY WAS DECORATING
THE TREE
1368
01:03:44,482 --> 01:03:46,379
THE LAST TIME HE WAS IN TOWN.
1369
01:03:46,379 --> 01:03:48,551
HE CAME BACK OUT HERE
TO FINISH IT.
1370
01:03:48,551 --> 01:03:50,655
GIVING IT ONE LAST TRY,
YOU KNOW?
1371
01:03:50,655 --> 01:03:52,551
TO GIVE IT TO HER
BEFORE HE LEFT TOWN,
1372
01:03:52,551 --> 01:03:53,827
HOPING THAT MAYBE
THAT WOULD CONVINCE HER
1373
01:03:53,827 --> 01:03:55,896
TO COME WITH HIM
BACK TO THE BAY.
1374
01:03:55,896 --> 01:03:58,310
SO CLARENCE GIVES MARY
THE PAINTING.
1375
01:03:58,310 --> 01:03:59,586
SHE TAKES A LOOK AT IT,
1376
01:03:59,586 --> 01:04:02,413
SAYS, "CLARENCE,
I KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE.
1377
01:04:02,413 --> 01:04:04,172
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FORGET YOU,
1378
01:04:04,172 --> 01:04:07,137
SEND ME A PAINTING OF YOU
SOMEDAY.
1379
01:04:07,137 --> 01:04:09,482
I LOVE YOU.
I ALWAYS WILL.
1380
01:04:09,482 --> 01:04:11,482
BUT MY HEART
BELONGS TO RICHARD."
1381
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,689
CLARENCE'S BROKEN HEART
LEFT TOWN NOT LONG.
1382
01:04:16,689 --> 01:04:18,000
THE LAST I HEARD,
1383
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,034
HE'D RUN INTO HIS OLD
HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART.
1384
01:04:20,034 --> 01:04:21,931
GRANDMA.
I IMAGINE.
1385
01:04:21,931 --> 01:04:24,965
LOST TRACK OF HIM
NOT LONG AFTER.
1386
01:04:24,965 --> 01:04:27,758
YEARS GO BY, LOSE TOUCH.
1387
01:04:27,758 --> 01:04:31,241
LIKE I SAID,
WE ALL MOVE ON.
1388
01:04:31,241 --> 01:04:33,172
AND FROM WHERE I'M SITTING,
1389
01:04:33,172 --> 01:04:35,896
CLARENCE AND MARY MOVING IN
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS
1390
01:04:35,896 --> 01:04:37,000
WAS FOR THE BEST.
1391
01:04:39,620 --> 01:04:46,034
YOU KNOW, IT DOES FEEL LIKE
CLARENCE IS HERE AGAIN WITH US.
1392
01:04:46,034 --> 01:04:50,551
THANK YOU.
1393
01:04:50,551 --> 01:04:52,551
HOW MUCH DO WE OWE YOU
FOR THE TREE?
1394
01:04:52,551 --> 01:04:54,344
FOR CLARENCE'S GRANDDAUGHTER?
1395
01:04:54,344 --> 01:04:56,758
IT'S ON THE HOUSE.
1396
01:04:56,758 --> 01:04:58,034
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1397
01:04:58,034 --> 01:05:00,103
- MERRY CHRISTMAS.
- MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1398
01:05:04,344 --> 01:05:05,448
SHOOT.
1399
01:05:05,448 --> 01:05:06,862
WHAT'S UP?
1400
01:05:06,862 --> 01:05:08,689
I HAVE TO HEAD
TO THE TRAIN STATION.
1401
01:05:08,689 --> 01:05:10,724
OH.
1402
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,965
SO HOW'S YOUR STORY
ABOUT US COMING ALONG?
1403
01:05:17,965 --> 01:05:19,931
ABOUT YOU?
1404
01:05:19,931 --> 01:05:21,655
DID MICHAEL
TELL YOU ABOUT THAT TIME
1405
01:05:21,655 --> 01:05:23,551
MARY AND I DECORATED
THAT CAKE TOGETHER?
1406
01:05:23,551 --> 01:05:25,172
I DIDN'T GET AROUND
TO THAT YET.
1407
01:05:25,172 --> 01:05:26,862
YOU SHOULD TELL HER.
1408
01:05:26,862 --> 01:05:29,862
MAYBE AT THE SANTA.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
1409
01:05:29,862 --> 01:05:31,724
SANTA?
1410
01:05:31,724 --> 01:05:32,931
I DON'T THINK
1411
01:05:32,931 --> 01:05:34,655
I'M GONNA BE ABLE TO MAKE
IT TONIGHT, BABE.
1412
01:05:34,655 --> 01:05:36,000
IT WAS A LONG TRIP,
1413
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,862
AND I HAVE TO HEAD OUT AGAIN
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.
1414
01:05:38,862 --> 01:05:40,172
YOU TRAVEL A LOT.
1415
01:05:40,172 --> 01:05:42,241
REALLY, JUST LATELY.
1416
01:05:42,241 --> 01:05:44,413
IT'S ESPECIALLY BUSY
THIS TIME OF YEAR.
1417
01:05:44,413 --> 01:05:46,137
BUT AFTER TOMORROW'S TRIP,
1418
01:05:46,137 --> 01:05:48,103
ONE MORE TRIP
OUT OF TOWN, THEN I'M BACK.
1419
01:05:48,103 --> 01:05:49,379
WOW.
1420
01:05:49,379 --> 01:05:51,413
AND WE'LL BE MOVING
TO NEW YORK
1421
01:05:51,413 --> 01:05:53,310
AFTER THE FIRST
OF THE YEAR.
1422
01:05:53,310 --> 01:05:54,724
BUT AFTER CHRISTMAS,
1423
01:05:54,724 --> 01:05:57,586
WE'RE FINALLY OFF
ON OUR LONG OVERDUE VACATION.
1424
01:05:57,586 --> 01:05:59,620
WHERE ARE YOU GUYS
GOING?
1425
01:05:59,620 --> 01:06:00,931
- THE OUTER BANKS.
- NOT SURE YET.
1426
01:06:11,793 --> 01:06:13,965
HEY, ARE YOU SURE
YOU CAN'T COME?
1427
01:06:13,965 --> 01:06:15,103
BABE.
1428
01:06:15,103 --> 01:06:16,793
I COULD REALLY USE A HAND.
1429
01:06:16,793 --> 01:06:18,896
I'M BEAT.
1430
01:06:18,896 --> 01:06:20,344
I DON'T THINK
I'LL BE MUCH HELP
1431
01:06:20,344 --> 01:06:23,137
AND I HAVE TO HEAD OUT AGAIN
FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.
1432
01:06:23,137 --> 01:06:24,758
I NEED MY REST.
1433
01:06:24,758 --> 01:06:26,137
ALRIGHT.
1434
01:06:34,655 --> 01:06:37,448
YOU MIND GIVING ME A LIFT
BACK TO THE CAFE?
1435
01:06:37,448 --> 01:06:38,965
I WASN'T GONNA BRING
THE TREE
1436
01:06:38,965 --> 01:06:39,862
BACK TO MY HOTEL.
1437
01:06:39,862 --> 01:06:40,965
THEY ALREADY HAVE ONE.
1438
01:06:51,413 --> 01:06:53,310
YOU KNOW,
IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU,
1439
01:06:53,310 --> 01:06:55,586
I DON'T THINK
I WOULD HAVE FOUND OUT
1440
01:06:55,586 --> 01:06:57,068
SO MUCH ABOUT MY GRANDPA.
1441
01:06:57,068 --> 01:06:59,068
THANK YOU.
1442
01:06:59,068 --> 01:07:00,586
AND THANK YOU.
1443
01:07:00,586 --> 01:07:01,862
HEARING ALL THESE THINGS
1444
01:07:01,862 --> 01:07:03,517
IS LIKE MY GRANDMA'S
HERE AGAIN.
1445
01:07:05,862 --> 01:07:07,241
YOU WERE SUCH
A BIG HELP TO ME,
1446
01:07:07,241 --> 01:07:10,517
IF YOU NEED ANY HELP
AT THE STORE WITH THE SANTA,
1447
01:07:10,517 --> 01:07:12,896
WHATEVER THAT MEANS,
I COULD HERE THERE.
1448
01:07:12,896 --> 01:07:15,241

I GOT ALL MY INFORMATION.
1466
01:08:01,448 --> 01:08:03,241
NOW I JUST GOT TO PUT IT
ALL TOGETHER.
1467
01:08:03,241 --> 01:08:05,827
DOWN TO THE WIRE.
1468
01:08:05,827 --> 01:08:08,310
YOU KNOW, SINCE
ALL MY RESEARCH IS DONE,
1469
01:08:08,310 --> 01:08:10,965
I SHOULD PROBABLY
BE HEADING BACK HOME.
1470
01:08:10,965 --> 01:08:14,137
BUT I WAS JUST WONDERING
IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE
1471
01:08:14,137 --> 01:08:16,758
I SHOULD SEE
BEFORE I LEAVE.
1472
01:08:16,758 --> 01:08:18,413
I CAN SHOW YOU
AROUND TOMORROW.
1473
01:08:18,413 --> 01:08:20,482
I'D LOVE THAT.
1474
01:08:22,275 --> 01:08:24,172
WELL, GOOD NIGHT.
1475
01:08:24,172 --> 01:08:25,724
- GOOD NIGHT.
- GOOD NIGHT.
1476
01:08:25,724 --> 01:08:27,206
GOOD NIGHT.
1477
01:08:30,310 --> 01:08:35,206
SHE SEEMS LIKE A VERY
NICE WOMAN, MICHAEL.
1478
01:08:35,206 --> 01:08:38,000
WHAT?
1479
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,448
IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE LIKE
OUR GRANDPARENTS.
1480
01:08:41,448 --> 01:08:42,793

WHO KNOWS.
1483
01:08:48,344 --> 01:08:52,620
YOU'RE FORGETTING
ONE THING, MICHAEL.
1484
01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:54,482
AND WHAT IS THAT, MOM?
1485
01:08:54,482 --> 01:08:57,413
YOU'RE NOT
YOUR GRANDPARENTS.
1486
01:08:57,413 --> 01:08:58,448
OKAY?
1487
01:09:01,275 --> 01:09:02,827
LISTEN TO YOUR MAMA.
1488
01:09:18,758 --> 01:09:21,344
MM.
1489
01:09:52,896 --> 01:09:54,827

MM. JUST ABOUT.
1499
01:10:31,724 --> 01:10:33,896
OF COURSE,
THE FLOWERS AROUND TOWN
1500
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:36,034
IN THE SUMMERTIME
ARE GREAT, TOO.
1501
01:10:36,034 --> 01:10:38,310
AND THE LEAVES
IN THE FALL, OH, MAN.
1502
01:10:38,310 --> 01:10:40,931
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE
GONNA MISS THIS PLACE
1503
01:10:40,931 --> 01:10:42,517
WHEN YOU MOVE TO NEW YORK.
1504
01:10:42,517 --> 01:10:44,413
AT FIRST I DIDN'T,
1505
01:10:44,413 --> 01:10:48,206
BUT NOW I FEEL
I'M GONNA MISS IT A LOT.
1506
01:10:52,965 --> 01:10:56,034
YOU SHOULD COME
TO OAKLAND SOMETIME.
1507
01:10:56,034 --> 01:10:57,793
WE HAVE A LOT
OF NICE THINGS THERE, TOO.
1508
01:11:01,310 --> 01:11:05,448
YOU EVER THINK...
1509
01:11:05,448 --> 01:11:07,724
WHAT?
1510
01:11:07,724 --> 01:11:10,206
...MOVING THERE INSTEAD?
1511
01:11:10,206 --> 01:11:12,620
TO OAKLAND?
1512
01:11:12,620 --> 01:11:14,068
WHY?
1513
01:11:16,344 --> 01:11:19,379
BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE I AM.
1514
01:11:19,379 --> 01:11:21,310
YOU KNOW, LENA,
I WAS TALKING TO MY MOM
1515
01:11:21,310 --> 01:11:22,862
ABOUT ALL THE STUFF
WE LEARNED
1516
01:11:22,862 --> 01:11:24,000
ABOUT OUR GRANDPARENTS
1517
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,793
AND HOW THAT WAS
REMINDED ME OF --
1518
01:11:35,724 --> 01:11:37,965
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
1519
01:11:37,965 --> 01:11:40,241
BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO,
AND I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T.
1520
01:11:43,103 --> 01:11:44,551
LOOK, LENA...
1521
01:11:44,551 --> 01:11:47,551
AM I WRONG?
1522
01:11:47,551 --> 01:11:48,655
IT'S COMPLICATED.
1523
01:11:48,655 --> 01:11:50,517
AM I WRONG?
1524
01:11:52,275 --> 01:11:54,689
LENA...
1525
01:11:54,689 --> 01:11:59,103
YOU ARE AMAZING.
1526
01:11:59,103 --> 01:12:02,103
BUT...
1527
01:12:02,103 --> 01:12:05,448
STEPH AND I...
1528
01:12:05,448 --> 01:12:08,137
LOOK, I HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO GET OUT OF THIS TOWN
1529
01:12:08,137 --> 01:12:10,517
FOR A LONG TIME,
1530
01:12:10,517 --> 01:12:13,068
AND I'M FINALLY...
1531
01:12:13,068 --> 01:12:16,275
I FINALLY GET A CHANCE
TO GO TO NEW YORK.
1532
01:12:16,275 --> 01:12:17,896
AND YOU'RE HEADING BACK
TO OAKLAND.
1533
01:12:20,655 --> 01:12:22,482
THEN WE ARE JUST
LIKE OUR GRANDPARENTS,
1534
01:12:22,482 --> 01:12:24,827
AREN'T WE?
1535
01:12:54,413 --> 01:12:57,068
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.
1536
01:12:57,068 --> 01:12:58,655
AND I'LL NEVER
FORGET YOU.
1537
01:13:10,172 --> 01:13:12,620
YOU OKAY, SON?
1538
01:13:12,620 --> 01:13:14,724
YEAH, YEAH, I'M FINE.
1539
01:13:14,724 --> 01:13:17,103
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
GOING TO PICK UP STEPHANIE.
1540
01:13:17,103 --> 01:13:18,862
SHE WASN'T SURE WHICH TRAIN
TO BE TAKING BACK,
1541
01:13:18,862 --> 01:13:20,000
SO SHE'S UBERING.
1542
01:13:23,448 --> 01:13:24,689
THAT'S A CHANGE.
1543
01:13:24,689 --> 01:13:27,275
STEPHANIE IN AN UBER.
1544
01:13:27,275 --> 01:13:28,206
I THOUGHT YOU WERE
1545
01:13:28,206 --> 01:13:29,896
HER DEDICATED CHAUFFEUR,
JEEVES.
1546
01:13:29,896 --> 01:13:31,103
YOU KNOW WHAT?
1547
01:13:31,103 --> 01:13:34,206
IT FEELS THAT WAY SOMETIMES,
DOESN'T IT?
1548
01:13:34,206 --> 01:13:37,068
YOU GUYS OKAY?
1549
01:13:37,068 --> 01:13:38,448
I DON'T THINK SO.
1550
01:13:38,448 --> 01:13:41,172
THINK ABOUT
NOT GOING TO NEW YORK?
1551
01:13:41,172 --> 01:13:43,551
I MEAN,
DON'T GET ME WRONG,
1552
01:13:43,551 --> 01:13:45,413
I'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU
STICK AROUND.
1553
01:13:45,413 --> 01:13:47,758
MAN, YOU'VE BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THAT FOREVER.
1554
01:13:47,758 --> 01:13:50,551
NO, I STILL LOVE
NEW YORK.
1555
01:13:50,551 --> 01:13:52,896
I JUST...
1556
01:13:52,896 --> 01:13:54,586
DON'T LOVE STEPHANIE.
1557
01:13:54,586 --> 01:13:57,620
I DO.
1558
01:13:57,620 --> 01:14:01,551
BUT...
1559
01:14:01,551 --> 01:14:02,758
I DON'T.
1560
01:14:04,137 --> 01:14:07,172
I DON'T LOVE
STEPHANIE, DAD.
1561
01:14:07,172 --> 01:14:11,620
WELL, WHAT ABOUT LENA?
1562
01:14:11,620 --> 01:14:13,620
WHAT ABOUT HER?
COME ON, MAN.
1563
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:18,103
I JUST WISH
WE WEREN'T
1564
01:14:18,103 --> 01:14:19,275
HEADING IN TWO
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
1565
01:14:19,275 --> 01:14:20,862
THAT'S ALL.
1566
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,724
IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE
MEETING YOU.
1567
01:15:00,724 --> 01:15:02,241
YOU TOO.
1568
01:15:02,241 --> 01:15:04,000
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, HONEY.
1569
01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:06,724
THANK YOU.
YES.
1570
01:15:06,724 --> 01:15:08,862
I WAS THINKING...
HMM?
1571
01:15:08,862 --> 01:15:11,758
...YOU GUYS
SHOULD HAVE THIS.
1572
01:15:11,758 --> 01:15:12,862
- ARE YOU SURE?
- WOW.
1573
01:15:12,862 --> 01:15:15,344
ABSOLUTELY.
1574
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:18,310
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1575
01:15:18,310 --> 01:15:20,551
AND WE THOUGHT
YOU SHOULD HAVE THESE.
1576
01:15:23,551 --> 01:15:24,896
ALL OF THEM.
1577
01:15:27,068 --> 01:15:29,931
OH!
I AM DONE FOR THE YEAR.
1578
01:15:29,931 --> 01:15:31,000
WHAT HAS TWO THUMBS
1579
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,103
AND IS READY
FOR HER VACATION?
1580
01:15:33,103 --> 01:15:35,275
HMM? THIS GIRL.
1581
01:15:35,275 --> 01:15:38,068
I HAVE A DEADLINE,
SO...
1582
01:15:38,068 --> 01:15:40,620
I SHOULD GET GOING.
THANKS AGAIN.
1583
01:15:40,620 --> 01:15:43,379

BYE-BYE, SWEETHEART.
1584
01:15:43,379 --> 01:15:44,482

CONGRATULATIONS.
WELCOME TO THE STAFF.

ALRIGHT.
1606
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,413
LENA, YOU'VE SET
THE BAR PRETTY HIGH.
1607

YOU'VE GOT REAL TALENT,
SO NEXT YEAR,
1608
01:16:48,827 --> 01:16:50,241
I'M GONNA MOVE YOU ON
1609
01:16:50,241 --> 01:16:52,482
TO, YOU KNOW,
MORE INVESTIGATIVE, EDGY THINGS.
1610
01:16:52,482 --> 01:16:53,620
I THINK ONE DAY,
1611
01:16:53,620 --> 01:16:55,206
YOU CAN BE
THE HEAD WRITER HERE.
1612
01:16:55,206 --> 01:16:57,448
THANK YOU, VIVIAN.
1613
01:16:57,448 --> 01:17:01,206
YOU KNOW, YOUR GRANDFATHER
WAS A WONDERFUL MAN.
1614
01:17:01,206 --> 01:17:02,448
YEAH, HE WAS.
1615
01:17:02,448 --> 01:17:04,172
MISS MARY,
SHE WAS TERRIFIC, TOO.
1616
01:17:04,172 --> 01:17:06,689
AND MISS CLAUDIA
AND OTIS.
1617
01:17:06,689 --> 01:17:07,827
YEAH.
1618
01:17:07,827 --> 01:17:09,413
SO TELL ME,
1619
01:17:09,413 --> 01:17:11,689
WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO THE GRANDSON?
1620
01:17:11,689 --> 01:17:12,965
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
1621
01:17:12,965 --> 01:17:14,482
WELL, YOU WROTE SO FONDLY
ABOUT HIM.
1622
01:17:14,482 --> 01:17:15,655
I THOUGHT
THERE MIGHT BE
1623
01:17:15,655 --> 01:17:17,137
A LITTLE
SOMETHING-SOMETHING THERE.
1624
01:17:17,137 --> 01:17:21,551
UM...IT JUST
DIDN'T WORK OUT.
1625
01:17:21,551 --> 01:17:22,862
I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
1626
01:17:22,862 --> 01:17:25,310
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
A NICE TOUCH TO THE STORY,
1627
01:17:25,310 --> 01:17:28,275
BUT ANYWAYS, YOU GO
AND ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY.
1628
01:17:28,275 --> 01:17:29,551
YOU'VE EARNED IT.
1629
01:17:29,551 --> 01:17:32,068
THANKS.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
1630
01:17:32,068 --> 01:17:35,448
LENA...
1631
01:17:35,448 --> 01:17:37,379
I'M SORRY THAT MICHAEL
GOT AWAY.
1632
01:17:40,448 --> 01:17:41,551
ME TOO.
1633
01:17:41,551 --> 01:17:44,206
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1634
01:18:06,310 --> 01:18:09,206
WE COULD CLIMB
CAPE HATTERAS LIGHTHOUSE,
1635
01:18:09,206 --> 01:18:11,758
VISIT THE WRIGHT BROTHERS
MEMORIAL,
1636
01:18:11,758 --> 01:18:14,000
SLED THE SAND DUNES.
1637
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,206
MICHAEL,
ARE YOU LISTENING?
1638
01:18:16,206 --> 01:18:19,655
SEEMS LIKE THAT'S ALL
I'VE BEEN DOING LATELY.
1639
01:18:19,655 --> 01:18:21,862
OKAY.
1640
01:18:21,862 --> 01:18:23,655
I CAN'T WAIT
TO EAT SEAFOOD.
1641
01:18:23,655 --> 01:18:26,793
STEPHANIE, I THINK
WE NEED TO HAVE A CHAT.
1642
01:18:26,793 --> 01:18:28,344
WE'RE CHATTING NOW.
1643
01:18:28,344 --> 01:18:30,379
NO, YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT A VACATION
1644
01:18:30,379 --> 01:18:31,827
THAT I'M NOT
INTERESTED IN.
1645
01:18:31,827 --> 01:18:33,931
I WANT TO TALK ABOUT US.
1646
01:18:33,931 --> 01:18:36,758
WHAT ABOUT US?
1647
01:18:36,758 --> 01:18:38,758
STEPHANIE,
IT'S BEEN SOMETHING
1648
01:18:38,758 --> 01:18:40,931
I'VE BEEN WRESTLING WITH
FOR A WHILE.
1649
01:18:40,931 --> 01:18:43,275
MONTHS, REALLY.
1650
01:18:43,275 --> 01:18:45,413
BUT I WASN'T TRYING TO BREAK UP
AROUND CHRISTMAS.
1651
01:18:45,413 --> 01:18:47,344
WHAT? BREAK UP?
1652
01:18:47,344 --> 01:18:49,448
ALRIGHT,
DO YOU WANT TO DO
1653
01:18:49,448 --> 01:18:51,586
THIS ON-AGAIN,
OFF-AGAIN THING AGAIN?
1654
01:18:51,586 --> 01:18:54,310
STEPHANIE, IT'S BEST
WE DO OFF FOR GOOD.
1655
01:18:56,482 --> 01:18:58,000
AND, YOU KNOW,
YOU WANT TO GO
1656
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,586
TO THE OUTER BANKS,
YOU KNOW?
1657
01:18:59,586 --> 01:19:02,241
YOU DON'T?
NO, I DON'T.
1658
01:19:04,931 --> 01:19:07,689
BUT THE TICKETS
ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
1659
01:19:07,689 --> 01:19:09,379
WELL, YOU CAN GO
WITH A FRIEND.
1660
01:19:10,620 --> 01:19:12,413
TASHA.
1661
01:19:12,413 --> 01:19:13,655
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN FOREVER,
1662
01:19:13,655 --> 01:19:15,689
AND WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT HAVING A GIRLS' NIGHT.
1663
01:19:15,689 --> 01:19:17,172
WE CAN HAVE
A GIRLS' TRIP.
1664
01:19:17,172 --> 01:19:19,758
OH, THAT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN.
I'M GONNA GO TELL HER.
1665
01:19:19,758 --> 01:19:22,758
- MERRY CHRISTMAS.
- MERRY CHRISTMAS.
1666
01:19:29,655 --> 01:19:31,068
WHAT'S HER HURRY?
1667
01:19:31,068 --> 01:19:32,000
WE JUST BROKE UP.
1668
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,413
REALLY?
1669
01:19:34,413 --> 01:19:37,793
I MEAN, OH,
ARE YOU OKAY?
1670
01:19:37,793 --> 01:19:39,827
I'M FINE, MOM.
1671
01:19:39,827 --> 01:19:42,344
WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
THE MOTIONS FOR A WHILE NOW.
1672
01:19:42,344 --> 01:19:47,172
SO YOU'RE NOT MOVING
THE FIRST OF THE YEAR?
1673
01:19:47,172 --> 01:19:49,620
Y'ALL KNOW I'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT NEW YORK FOR A WHILE.
1674
01:19:49,620 --> 01:19:51,034
JUST BECAUSE STEPHANIE
AND I BROKE UP
1675
01:19:51,034 --> 01:19:52,827
DOESN'T MEAN
I SHOULD CHANGE MY PLANS.
1676
01:19:52,827 --> 01:19:54,172
RIGHT?
1677
01:19:54,172 --> 01:19:56,137
STEPHANIE'S NOT
THE KIND OF GIRL
1678
01:19:56,137 --> 01:19:58,482
YOU CHANGE
YOUR PLANS FOR, SON.
1679
01:19:58,482 --> 01:20:02,034
BUT I KNOW
A WOMAN WHO IS.
1680
01:20:02,034 --> 01:20:03,689
YOU BETTER LISTEN
TO YOUR MAMA.
1681
01:20:12,034 --> 01:20:14,517
CONGRATULATIONS.
1682
01:20:14,517 --> 01:20:17,448
OH, I'M PROUD OF YOU,
BABY GIRL!
1683
01:20:17,448 --> 01:20:19,586
I KNEW IT.
I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT.
1684
01:20:19,586 --> 01:20:20,793
I CAN'T WAIT
1685
01:20:20,793 --> 01:20:23,551
TO SEE YOUR STORY
ON THE PAGES OF VIBRANT.
1686
01:20:23,551 --> 01:20:25,413
OH.

01:20:25,413 --> 01:20:27,689
OH, OH.
1688
01:20:27,689 --> 01:20:29,448
ARE YOU OKAY?
1689
01:20:29,448 --> 01:20:32,034
YEAH.
1690
01:20:32,034 --> 01:20:35,413
WHAT IS -- IS THIS
ABOUT MARY'S GRANDSON?
1691
01:20:35,413 --> 01:20:37,344
HMM?
1692
01:20:40,275 --> 01:20:43,482
YOU TWO
DO LOOK GOOD TOGETHER.
1693
01:20:45,655 --> 01:20:48,965
WE WERE GOOD TOGETHER.
1694
01:20:48,965 --> 01:20:51,275
HE'S SO SWEET...
1695
01:20:51,275 --> 01:20:54,793

A GREAT WHAT NOW?
1698
01:20:59,965 --> 01:21:05,103
I GUESS, JUST LIKE MARY WAS
FOR GRANDPA,
1699
01:21:05,103 --> 01:21:07,862
IT'S A REALLY
WONDERFUL MEMORY.
1700
01:21:17,068 --> 01:21:19,379

01:21:19,379 --> 01:21:22,000

AND I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU'RE ENGAGED.
1710
01:21:38,517 --> 01:21:41,379
IT WAS LOVE
AT FIRST SIGHT.
1711
01:21:41,379 --> 01:21:43,344
NO, IT TOOK HIM A COUPLE
OF MONTHS TO REALIZE IT.
1712
01:21:43,344 --> 01:21:44,827
YOU GOT TO BE PATIENT
WITH US GUYS.
1713
01:21:44,827 --> 01:21:47,034
SOMETIMES IT TAKES US A WHILE
TO COME AROUND.
1714
01:21:47,034 --> 01:21:48,517
- HEY.
- HEY, GIRL.
1715
01:21:48,517 --> 01:21:50,448

01:21:57,103 --> 01:21:58,827
I THINK I'LL HAVE DRINK NOW.

01:21:58,827 --> 01:22:01,689
HO, HO, HO, HO, HO!

01:22:19,103 --> 01:22:20,793
YOU WEREN'T KIDDING.
1724
01:22:20,793 --> 01:22:23,172
YOUR COUSINS

1725
01:22:24,379 --> 01:22:26,517
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
1726
01:22:26,517 --> 01:22:28,482
I LOVE YOU.

01:22:28,482 --> 01:22:31,827
WHAT?
I LOVE YOU.
1728
01:22:31,827 --> 01:22:35,068
LOOK, I KNOW WE HAVEN'T KNOWN
EACH OTHER THAT LONG,
1729
01:22:35,068 --> 01:22:36,379
BUT I KNOW IT IN MY SOUL
1730
01:22:36,379 --> 01:22:38,172
THAT I'M CRAZY
ABOUT YOU, LENA.
1731
01:22:38,172 --> 01:22:40,620
AND WHEREVER YOU ARE
IS WHERE I WANT TO BE.
1732
01:22:40,620 --> 01:22:43,620
MICHAEL, THAT'S ABOUT
THE BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT
1733
01:22:43,620 --> 01:22:45,068
THAT ANYONE'S EVER --
1734
01:22:52,862 --> 01:22:55,034
AFTER LOOKING THROUGH
A FEW MORE LETTERS,
1735
01:22:55,034 --> 01:22:57,379
I FOUND THAT MY GRANDFATHER
AND MARY CORRESPONDED
1736
01:22:57,379 --> 01:23:01,000
JUST A FEW MORE TIMES,
THEN THE LETTERS STOPPED.
1737
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:02,586
I WONDER IF THEY EVER SPOKE
ON THE PHONE
1738
01:23:02,586 --> 01:23:04,206
OR SAW EACH OTHER AGAIN.
1739
01:23:04,206 --> 01:23:07,103
I CAN'T IMAGINE THEM
SENDING E-MAILS TO EACH OTHER.
1740
01:23:07,103 --> 01:23:10,344
BUT THEN AGAIN,
BEFORE I STARTED THIS STORY,
1741
01:23:10,344 --> 01:23:12,482
I COULDN'T IMAGINE
EITHER ONE OF THEM IN LOVE
1742
01:23:12,482 --> 01:23:15,103
WITH ANYONE
OTHER THAN THEIR SPOUSES.
1743
01:23:15,103 --> 01:23:19,172
TONI MORRISON SAID LOVE IS NEVER
ANY BETTER THAN THE LOVER.
1744
01:23:19,172 --> 01:23:22,448
I CAN'T IMAGINE TWO PEOPLE
BETTER THAN CLARENCE AND MARY.
1745
01:23:22,448 --> 01:23:25,482
WHILE THEY MAY NOT HAVE SPENT
THEIR ENTIRE LIVES TOGETHER,
1746
01:23:25,482 --> 01:23:28,862
THEY MADE MEMORIES THAT LASTED
BEYOND THEIR LIFETIMES.
1747
01:23:28,862 --> 01:23:31,448
THE STORY OF THEIR LIVES
IS JUST ONE OF THEIR MANY GIFTS
1748
01:23:31,448 --> 01:23:32,620
TO THEIR FAMILIES.
1749
01:23:32,620 --> 01:23:34,344
AND PERHAPS THE GREATEST GIFT
1750
01:23:34,344 --> 01:23:36,620
WAS BRINGING THOSE
TWO FAMILIES TOGETHER
1751
01:23:36,620 --> 01:23:39,241
AND SHOWING THEM
THAT LIFE IS TO BE LIVED,
1752
01:23:39,241 --> 01:23:43,586
LIFE IS TO BE CELEBRATED,
AND LIFE IS TO BE LOVED.
1753
01:23:43,586 --> 01:23:45,206
