"Previously on "October Road"..." "We're almost good, Nick." "We just" "We gotta get out some kinks." " You're broke." " What do you mean, I'm broke?" "We're a couple now." "We should do couple-y things." "It's important to me, Eddie." "Maybe until you're ready to step outside," "I could be your window onto the world." " Hi, Owen." " You guys know each other?" "Owen is my ex-husband." " Ex-husband, huh?" " It's a figure of speech." "You have to knock it off with Ikey." "You have to forgive him." "You can't- you can't stay mad." "It's a terrible thing, having no friends." "We're coming for ya!" "Where are you?" "Come out, wherever you are." "We're gonna find you." "We're... coming... for you." "I can hear you!" "Where the heck are you?" " I need a sec." " You can't call time-out." " You gotta call 'em before we start." " Let him catch his breath." "Yeah, when did you become such a fascist, Ikey?" "You don't even know what "fascist" means, Owen." " I do." " Name it." "It's a political philosophy that places the nation and the race above the individual." " Phil!" " Exactly." "I was gonna say that." "Come on!" " What is it?" " Over there." "In the bushes." "Well, what have we got here?" "It's the five fairies of the apocalypse, guys." "We don't want any trouble, Ray." "Oh, is that so?" "Well, that's too bad, buddy, 'cause we do." "Let's beat 'em soft, boys." " Hoo-dee-hoo." " Yeah!" "Sissies." "What the hell?" "!" "That's right, freaks." "You mess with us, you mess with the demons of dalton woods." "We'll finish you losers off later!" " Get out, Cataldo." " Come on, boys." "Man, Nicky." "Man, that was all-time." "Man, you were like John Cassavetes in "Rosemary's Baby. "" "Says you." "I was going more for a Nikki Sixx in Mötley Crue thing." "Whatever, man." "That rocked." "You can come out now, superhero." "Are you guys okay?" "Angela, that was all-time- all-time!" "You're the man." "If somebody's gotta save your sorry butts, figured it'd be a girl." "I gotta jet." "Come over tonight if you guys wanna watch "90210."" "Later, skaters, waiters and smelly cheese graters." "See ya!" " Broke?" "Like, broke broke?" " Yeah." "Broke broke, as in I may need to hold a bake sale to pay for those eggs you just ate." " How does that happen?" " I don't know." "Bad investments?" "Market downtick?" "Recession?" "Things that I don't know about, which is why I have a business manager." "Had a business manager, because now there's no business to manage." "Oh, man." "I'm sorry?" "I mean, it's kinda my own fault." "The whole finance world is a mystery to me." "My business manager- he'd call me up, and he'd ask me about bond options, and I'd say," ""other than Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan?" "'Cause I don't know what you're talking about. "" "You could always put pen to paper." "Pen to paper?" "As in writing." "You know, that thing you used to do." "It's not that simple." "Why not?" "I mean, you're a hotshot novelist." "Your book is beloved, voice-of-a-generation style." "Guaranteed, at the bare minimum, there are dozens of magazines who would pay you to write something." " No." " No what?" "Just..." "No, all right?" "Don't worry about it." "I'll figure it out, okay?" " You don't need to worry about it." " I was just trying to help." "Yeah, well, finish your coffee, and let's get out of here, okay?" "That'd be a help." "Are you joking, dude?" "What?" "Fine." "Whatever." "I'll just see you later, okay?" "Okay." "You need to start dealing, you know that?" "Can I just say that nothing pleases me more than getting to expose my lady to "The Dirty Dozen" for the very first time?" "Well, can I just say that nothing pleases me more than being exposed to "The Dirty Dozen" for the very first time?" "Lee Marvin- the last of the real men." "Grizzled and great and gray-haired..." " Where are you going?" " Salsa run." "You want me to pause it?" "No, it's okay." "And your stupid, old grandfather refused to go." "He said, and I quote," ""musicals make me sleepy. "" "Why are you telling her this?" "After all these years, after all those musicals that we went to, he napped through every one of them." "I remember a particularly good sleep during "Oklahoma!"" "See what I deal with?" "Come visit us soon, Jannie." "So can we go?" "Where?" "To Providence to visit them in the nursing home." "I haven't been since january." "Please?" "I don't know." "I hate nursing homes." " They're so..." " Full of old people?" "Exactly." " Eddie?" " Well, you go." "Well, I want you to meet them." "It's important to me." "Yeah, I will one of these days." ""One of these days"?" "They're in their 80s, Eddie." " I just..." " What, Eddie?" "Where are we?" "Where are we in this relationship?" "I can tell you one place we're not." "And where's that?" "The nursing home." "I just don't get why everything has to be such a big deal- everything." "Now this is what happens." "It's all good and then..." "Quite suddenly, it's not anymore." "It's like an endurance race." "And the finish line doesn't exist." "I have to say something to her." " You should, Phys." " Right?" "Who walks out on "The Dirty Dozen" and doesn't feel the need to hit "pause"?" "Girls." "Girls do." " Women." " Yeah, yeah." "I'm going to my room in attempt to commit hari-kari with a spork." "I don't know." "Maybe I'm being a jerk, but to drive all the way to Rhode Island just to hang out with her grandparents?" " You didn't sign up for that." " No way." "Not even close." " Thank you." " No." "Don't worry about it." "That's her issues, not yours." "You know what I mean?" "What she's doing is projecting." "Yes!" "You okay, Phil?" "She's dead." " Who's dead?" " Angela." " Angela who?" " Angela Ferilli." "She died in a car crash." "Angela Ferilli's dead." "Later, skaters, waiters and smelly cheese graters." "See ya!" "Don't forget the boom box." "Angela Ferilli is the coolest girl ever born." "She could be president one day." "Ikey, am I wrong?" "You ain't wrong, dude." " You ain't wrong." " You got that right." "Did you see her come out with that slingshot?" "That was all-time!" "Subtitles:" "Willow's Team" "Transcript:" "Raceman" ""Angela Bear, the former Angela Ferilli," ""died april 9th in an auto accident in Bishop Flats, Mass." ""Survived by her husband Robert Bear" ""and their daughter Susie..." ""parents, brother," yada yada..." "April 9th?" "That was yesterday." "She was still living in the Flats." "She was." "Robert Bear..." "She married a guy named Robert Bear." "She did." "I'll bet he's handsome." "Angela's dead." "That's crazy." " This isn't right." " I told you- unavoidable." "Mom got a job teaching in the district." "We got schools." "We got districts." "Bishop Flats is only three towns away." "You guys need to come visit." "Send me some of your stories, Nick, especially the ghost ones." "I will." "Try not to let the headmaster pinch you in the butt, Ikey." "He does, I'll knee him in the chestnuts." "And you be nice to the girls, Latekka." "I promise." "My birthday's in two months, Owen." "I'm gonna have a party at my new house." "Make sure you guys come to the Flats for it." " I will." " You better." "I can turn into a butterfly, a bat or a bulldog, and if you don't come see me, I will come haunt you." "We are so there." "I hate butterflies and bats." "I think I'll miss you most of all, Scarecrow." "Never cut that Sebastian Bach hair, Phil." "Sebastian Bach is lame." "Skid Row's stupid." "Sebastian Bach is an angel in devil's shoes." ""I remember you" is the best song in the history of songs." "Yeah, it is a pretty good one." "I gotta go." "Later, skaters, waiters and smelly cheese graters." "What are we gonna do now?" "Daddy, what are we gonna do for custody day?" "Yeah, what are we gonna do?" " What's "custody day"?" " Mommy says it's today!" "Hey, guys, let's put your coats on." "Custody day..." "Really, Alison?" "Custody day?" "This isn't all difficult enough?" "You have to give it labels?" "Bad, negative labels?" "He must have heard me on the phone to my mother." "I didn't mean it like that." "Custody day!" "Let's go, guys." " Custody day!" " Bye." " Bye, mommy." " Love ya." "Love ya." "This is great." "Am I being unreasonable?" "Do you think I'm being unreasonable?" "Not at all, but you have to acknowledge that they are..." " different than you and I." " Men?" "Men are like boys with chest hair." "Remember that, and you'll never go wrong or be disappointed." "I just get so... mad." "You know, part of me is like," ""dude, you're dating Eddie Latekka." ""How lucky are you?" Accept all wrongdoing." " But the other part of me..." " Can't do that." "If only I could." "Ladies." "I thought we'd barbecue." "I got short ribs." "Meadows, you in?" "Ray, if Hannah asked you to go visit her elderly grandparents at the nursing home, would you?" "I feel like the correct answer could crucify Latekka, so I'm gonna have to say, hell, yeah, with bells on, and I'd show up bearing gifts- arthritis medicine, hearing aids, all 12 seasons of "Murder, she wrote" on DVD." "I find it a little disconcerting that you know how many seasons" ""Murder, she wrote" was on for." "Jessica Fletcher rocked the casbah." " Where's Aceman?" " He's in his room." " I'm gonna say hi." " Okay." "Would you indulge me one more "ugh" toward all things Eddie?" "Absolutely." "Go for it." "Nick, Eddie, guess what I remember?" "What, Owen?" "You guys know what day it is today?" " Friday?" " Friday, may 25th." "And that's significant why?" "It's Angela's birthday today." "And remember, she told us she's having a party for all of her new friends." "Then we know what we gotta do." "What's that?" "We gotta get our butts to the Flats- surprise her." "Right, Nicky?" "Why not?" "Come on, guys!" "Did I just hear the doorbell ring?" "Yeah, Aubs was here." "She brought a book over for me." "A biography on Teddy Roosevelt." "I told her you were here... and she didn't seem all that interested." "Yeah, well..." "Everything okay there?" "It's fine." "It's just..." "You ever feel like with the Dean or mom like your head was gonna explode?" "Of course." "It's combustible- boys and girls together." "You gotta take the good ka-booms with the bad." "The good ka-booms?" "The good ka-booms make the bad ka-booms worth it." "Yeah, I don't know much about much, kiddo, but your Aubs- she's one of the good ka-booms." "Hey, you remember Angela Ferilli?" "Her dad was a Carpenter?" "They moved away when we were little?" "Oh, I remember a Pete Ferilli, the Carpenter." "Don't remember Angela, though." "She was in my grade." "What about her?" "Nothing." "She..." "She was awesome, was all." "I really don't mean to disrespect your plan, Eddie, but if the bus doesn't get here soon, we may just make it in time for Angela's sweet 16 party." "Have a little faith, Philly." "Have a little faith." "Weel, I brought lunch, just in case- cream cheese and pimento sandwiches." "What's pimento?" "Hey, what goes on, squares?" "Hey, did you break out again, Ikey?" "I heard we had a birthday party to attend." "We do, we do, we do!" " Here it comes!" " All right." " Why are you doing this?" " Because it's a- a thing." "Why is this a thing?" "How can you not ask for pause-press?" "I just" " I don't" " I don't understand how you can not ask for pause-press." " I was getting salsa." " I understand that." "I don't take issue with the need to replenish the all-important salsa bowl." "But if you are gonna replenish, just say, "can you hit pause?"" " Why is that a problem?" " Why is this a problem?" "You know "The Dirty Dozen" is important to me." "Because to you, I'm disrespecting not only you, but Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood, and all the rest of them?" "Clint Eastwood, of course, not being in the film." "Who cares?" "Who cares?" "It's just a movie, Phil." "That's just it." "You don't get it." " Nothing is just a movie." " Are you kidding?" "No!" "I am not." "I love that movie." "You know I love that movie, yet you blithely walk out for more salsa, which is, I think, not dissimilar to... to spitting my very own movie back into my face!" "Okay, it's not your movie, dude." "I need to feel like... when I share things with you, that you wanna share them with me." "I do." "I mean, I really do." "And I contend with all of your... idiosyncrasies." "But just when I start to think you're getting even remotely healthy, you go and you lose it over pause-press." "You missed things." "I didn't miss much." "Just 12 military prisoners on a suicide mission." "They get dropped behind enemy lines." "They have to wipe out a bunch of german dignitaries at a french château." "Franko, posey... maggott." "I got it, Phil." "I so got it." "My old friend died." "And the funeral's on tuesday." "I wanted to tell you that." "I did." "And then I was afraid that if I did tell you, that you wouldn't..." "That I wouldn't what?" "That you wouldn't pause-press." "What can I get you?" "I just wanna talk." "About what?" "It's cool." "I get it." "I guess it just took a trip to see my grands to put it in perspective." "Nothing needs to get put in perspective." "It was a disagreement." "That'll happen." "It will." "It's bound to." "Sure." " Okay." " Yep." "Except for one thing." "Not okay." "Not okay at all." "We've been hanging out for months." "I've climbed the mount Everest of insecurity just to get here, and no kidding, guy- it wasn't easy." "So watching you squirm over a 2-hour drive to see two people who mean the world to me?" "Well, yeah, things do need to be put into perspective." "And they were." "So either I can get you something from my bar, or not." "And if it's not, then I'd really appreciate you just leaving me the hell alone." "Aubrey?" "It's me again." "You ever gonna call me back?" "We should talk." "Hey, Nick." "Hey." "What's goes on, Sam?" "Me and mom are running errands." "I used to have errands." "Sorry." "He..." "Sam insisted on coming in here." " We were just running some errands." " I heard." "Nick used to have errands." "Thank you, Sam." "Hey, you remember Angela Ferilli?" "I don't think so." "Yeah, she might've moved away before you got here." "What about her?" "She died." "Yeah, in a car crash in Bishop Flats." "Oh, my god." "That's terrible." "I know." "It's crazy." "I mean, we haven't seen her for, like, 18 years, but... still..." "Are you going to the funeral?" " I wasn't planning on it." " You should go." " Really?" " Yeah, you should say good-bye." "You should." "Hey, Sam, when we were your age, my friends and I- we would've followed Angela Ferilli to the very ends of the earth." "Hey, you're locked into WRXK- Mass rocks." "These dudes are totally ill." "Here's Cinderella with "Coming home. "" "I took a walk down a road, it's the road I was meant to stay" "I see the fire in your eyes but a man's gotta make his way" "So are you tough enough for my love?" "Just close your eyes to the heaven above" "I'm coming home" "I'm coming home" "I took a ride in a world I'll be spinnin' for the rest of my life" "I feel your heart beatin', baby ooh, sometimes it cuts like a knife" "So are you tough enough for my love?" "Just close your eyes to the heaven above" "I'm coming home" "I'm coming home" "I'm coming home where your love tonight can shine on me" " I'm coming home" " Dorks." "Where your loving arms can set me free" "Talk to pizza girl?" "Nah." "Talk to Janet?" "Yep." "I went over to Sully's." "How'd it go?" "You ever hear the expression, "hell hath no fury like a girl denied a visit to her 80-year-old grandparents"?" "Why do they get so mad?" "Furious, frenzied, freaked-out mad?" "Your basic male- his default emotion?" "Happy." "Give him a meatball sub, a cold beer, nine innings and any Bruce Willis film where Bruce gets to fire a gun, and your basic male is happy." " Euphoric, even." " Yeah." "But the female?" "Oh!" "The female has to have everything just so." "You know, whatever idea they wake up in the morning with, in their head, if that idea, notion, goal, is not summarily achieved, then say hello to bedlam wrapped in mayhem, with a side order of chaos." "I hear you, chief." "Oh, man, sundays are long." "They are." "They sure are." "What do you got there?" "I found it this morning when I was going through all my old stuff." "Main street." "Watch your step, boys." " I'm starving." " Even pimento starving?" "Can someone please tell me what pimentos are?" "It's a kind of pepper, often found stuffed in olives." "Oh!" "I know those." "Olive red balls?" "Yes, Owen, Olive red balls... or as they're sometimes known, pimentos." "Ah, whatever." "I gotta eat." " Don't rummage in my bag, man." " Come on, dude." "Hey, come on, guys." "Come on." "Don't get physical with Phil." " What'd you say?" " I said, don't get physical." "With Phil- "Physical Phil. "" "From now on, you're "Physical Phil. "" "Nickname." "Nickname." "Nickname." "Like that'll ever stick." "Hey, what's this?" " Gimme that." " What is it?" " Nothing." " What is it, Physical Phil?" "It's a present, isn't it?" "For Angela?" " It is?" " It is." "Oh, what did we get her?" "Nice, Phil." ""I remember you. "" "It's the Skid Row song- Angela's favorite." "She'll love it." "She'll be so happy!" "She'll turn into a butterfly, a bat or a bulldog." "Let's go, guys, we're almost there." " Hi, Nicky." " Hey, dad." " What you got there?" " Oh, I found..." "I found these old stories I wrote in elementary school." "Ma saved 'em all." "Works of a budding genius." "Yeah, well, I don't know about that, but... this one- it's about Angela Ferilli." "Oh, the Carpenter's kid?" "Yeah, but in this story, she's not a Carpenter's kid." "She's... kind of a magician." ""Angela could change into anything she wanted" ""a butterfly, a bat or even a bulldog," ""depending on her mood," ""which was really happy or really sad." ""But whether happy or sad, she was always pretty" ""pretty like a daffodil, which she could not change into," ""no matter how hard she tried, but she didn't need to," ""because daffodils were only one color" ""golden yellow." ""And Angela was all the colors of the garden. "" "It sounds like you were in love with this Angela." "I think I forgot about that." "Forgot what?" "That we were all in love with her." "Okay, so I'll be back in about an hour." "Patty Walsh's labrador got skunked." "Oh, goodie." "I love it when you come home smelling like hydrogen peroxide and baking soda." "Are you reading the obituaries?" "I am." " And do you always?" " I do." "I like to see all the folks I'm doing better than." "You are deranged." "Oh, is there anything in there about Angela Ferilli?" "It was in yesterday's paper, actually." "Pretty sad." "Did you know Angela?" "No, they moved right before I got here." "Yeah, she hung out with the monkey squad" " Nick, Latekka and the others." " Yeah, I know." "What was she like?" "Well, she was 10 when I knew her, so..." "Right." "She was all right." "I mean, she had this strength about her." "Even at 10, you knew you were in the presence of a badass." "Kinda like you, Hannah Jane... if you rocked a slingshot." "Long story." " I'll see you later." " Okay." "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." "I know." "All of these kids look rich." "Is the Flats a rich town?" "I can't believe you guys are here!" "This is crazy!" "I told you we wouldn't miss it." "No need for bats or butterflies." "This is crazy." "Come on." "You guys want a dog?" "Angi when are you gonna open presents?" "Soon." "Oh, guys, this is Grizzly." "These are my homies from the Ridge." "This is Nick, Ikey, Owen," "Phil and Eddie." "Guys, this is Grizzly, my boyfriend." "So you guys want some hot dogs?" "My dad's the grillmaster general." "Sure." "We're starving." "Comen then!" "Come on, guys." "Hot dogs." "These people are mostly nice, and Grizzly's cool." "Grizzly's a square." "Why do they even call him Grizzly?" "I mean, he's not big." "He's not hairy." "He certainly doesn't hibernate." "You guys wanna head home?" " Yeah." " What?" "Now?" "They haven't even sang "happy birthday" yet." "I gotta get back to my cell before lights out." "Are we gonna say good-bye to Angela?" "Come on, Owen." "Let's go." "Later, skater, waiter, and smelly cheese grater." "...but together we pay our last respects clouded minds and heavy hearts in her, with the spirit whether it was with Bishop Flats' church charity drives or the library at school," "she was always front and center." "She was an adventurer." "What's up?" "I was gonna call you guys, but..." " It's a sad day." " Yeah." "Nick Garrett, old friend of Angela's." "I'm really sorry for your loss." "This is Eddie." "Owen." " Ikey." " Hi." "Rob Bear." "Thank you." "Thank you, Nick." "This is something we meant to give to your mom... a long time ago." "Would you like to have it?" "It says, "I remember you. "" "That was him." "Who?" "Grizzly." "She married Grizzly." "What?" "Rob Bear." "Rob Bear. "Grizzly" Bear." "Remember we couldn't figure out why they called him "Grizzly"?" "Because he wasn't big." "He wasn't hairy." "He certainly didn't hibernate." "Wow." "He was her meant-to-be." "Yeah." "We never stood a chance." "Maybe if you think about it, maybe we've been searching for Angela Ferilli our whole lives." "You think?" "I know I have." "Well, if you think about it some more, maybe you guys have already found her in what you got waiting for you back in the Ridge." "I have something I wanna share with you." "Is that okay?" "Yes." "It's a song... from a long time ago." "And I hope you like it." "But even if you don't, I'm..." "I'm just glad you're here to listen to it." "I love it." "And I love you." "I was wondering if..." "we could... just sit?" "Of course we can, Owen." "Of course we can." " Pack a bag." " What for?" "We're going to Rhode Island." "I got tickets to "Bye Bye Birdie" in Providence." "I figured me and gmps can get some nap time in." "I can't write anymore." "I don't know why." "I just... can't." "And it scares the hell out of me." "Wait up, Angela!" "Angela!"
