"She is gorgeous." "Who?" "My fancy, new, professional self-cleaning oven." "It arrives today." "I'll be able to cook in my kitchen and eat whatever i want, whenever i want it." "You pretty much already do that." "Hey, you should be nice to me, mountain boy." "I'm a good cook, which means your quality of life is about to improve drastically." "Oh, no offense." "I love the food here." "Hey, i get it." "How many burgers can one woman eat?" "Five." "I saw a woman eat five once." "It was a rhetorical question." "Are you as good at cooking as you said you were at poker?" "Because you suck at poker." "Oh, yes, i confused hearts with poker, but i am a good cook." "I'm better." "No, i'm sure you make a mean open-fire marshmallow, but come on." "I make a kick-ass stew." "My kick-ass stew could kick your kick-ass stew's ass." "Cook-off." "Tomorrow." "Game on." "Amazing how much a woman can eat when you're buying." "So what you're saying is... y-you're shooting a sex video?" "No, what i'm saying is..." "is that i've been hired by the anchorage zoo to film sea otters mating in the wild." "Jack's shooting a sex video." "I'm filming sea otters." "Well, sea otters deserve privacy, too." "I hope you're at least getting their consent." "That's right." "You need consent to film porno." "I learned that one the hard way." "I don't need to know." "Don't want to know." "So, um, what is the zoo gonna do with otter porn?" "Sell it in their gift shop?" "No, they're, um... they're gonna show it to the other otters." "Oh, you are making this up." "No, the otter pair at the zoo has been there 11 years." "They stopped mating." "Ah, the 11-year itch." "Mm, lost their spark." "Oh, it happens." "Not to me, but to some people." "Oh, and apparently, some otters." "I mean, she... she must have gotten sick him sitting around the dam all day watching otterball." "Well, all right." "You know, you can laugh, but they did the same thing for pandas at the bangkok zoo, and it worked." "They mated." "To jack's first porno." "Otters gone wild." "Spoons down." "Not bad." "If "not bad" is squatter speak for "fantastic," thank you." "Mmm, and thank you, my dream stove." "I can't believe i'm saying this." "Yours is better." "Told you." "Wait, how did that happen?" "You're basically homeless." "I'm being out-cooked by a homeless guy?" "Oh, what is that yummy potato-but-better-than-potato- taste?" "My special ingredient... the machu root." "It's like the potato's better-looking older brother." "Where'd you get that?" "In the forest." "Oh, you washed it first, right?" "Yes." "The forest... that is, uh, so much work." "But worth it." "Finding that one special ingredient..." "change the chemistry of the whole dish." "It's like in relationships." "Oh, pfft." "Now you're a relationship expert, too?" "Don't try to take me on in this area." "All i'm saying is people are like stew." "There's one person out there who perfects you." "You really believe that?" "Not the "one person" part." "For me, it's more like eight or ten." "Okay, but you believe that there is a chemical... thing between two people?" "That it's more than attraction?" "Sure." "You and i have it." "Don't mistake my annoyance for chemistry." "I demand a do-over." "It's like poker all over again." "Tomorrow night." "Kitchen." "Game on." "Game on." "Give me more of that stew." "But this one here?" "This is me and your great-grandpa washington." "Oh, boy." "Now this is me the day i got my plane." "I never will forget that one." "What's this?" "Oh, your mommai put that one in there." "She likes this picture of herself." "Apparently, so did i." "Yeah." "And this... this is me and george." "The end of the washington line." "What do you mean?" "Oh, he took his stepfather's name after nell and i divorced." "Oh." "Well, you can't blame the kid, patrick." "George washington?" "What were we thinking about?" "Oh, this my uncle bubba..." "the best fisherman in all alabama." "Boy, he could catch fish just by calling 'em." "Fish!" "This way, leroy, this way." "I don't think he knows his name yet." "Maybe... this will help." "The bachelors." "I'm gonna frame it and hang it over the fireplace." "I know we're not married yet, but i couldn't wait to do a needlepoint." "The bachelors... that's always been my mom and me." "And now it'll be all three of us." "Excuse me, leroy." "All four of us." "I meant all four of us." "Well, bachelor was hal's last name, and hal wasn't even my real father." "Buzz is my real dad, and he's "washington." "I don't know who i am anymore." "Jerome... no self-service." "Who is that guy?" "My ex." "Hi, sara." "What are you doing here?" "I want to talk to you." "Don't you think the court summons said enough?" "I'm sorry, but you didn't... answer my calls or my letters." "I had to get your attention somehow." "I got a good job now, and... and i'm married." "Congratulations." "My life is finally in order." "I just wanted you to know that." "Work with me here." " I can't." " Come on." "I have a right to see my own son." "You can come to elmo and see him anytime, but you can't take him." "I'm his father." "His father who signed away all custody rights when he moved away." "L-i was confused then." "So were we." "You didn't even tell us where you were living half the time." "Matty has stability now." "I think any judge would agree." "He needs a good father, not someone who's seen him seven times in seven years." "You think you're such a good parent?" "I mean, we... we both know that you've made your share of mistakes." "And we both know how you made 'em." "How did... this isn't personal, sara." "You just made it personal." "Everything all right here?" "Yeah." "Fine." "See you at the hearing. men in trees season 2 episode 02 hey, you want breakfast?" "Uh, no, i'm good." "All right." "I'll bring your lunch then." "Okay, thanks." "Uh, see you later." "All right." "Love you." "Yeah." "Me, too." "Oh, hey." "Fancy meeting you here." "How you doing?" "Great." "Fine." "Terrible." "I'm faxing my lawyer." "What's wrong?" "My ex-husband is suing me for full custody of matty." "The hearing is in two days." "Oh, i am so sorry." "Do you want me to come?" "No." "Really, i'm fine." "I can handle this." "I didn't even know he was still in the picture." "He wasn't until last week." "You are a great mom." "The judge is definitely gonna see that." "He knows." "My ex-husband knows i was a... oh." "What's the judge gonna think of that?" "What does your lawyer say?" "He really doesn't think it's gonna help." "You are a lot more than your resume." "Hey, mom!" "Look at this ninja book i just found." "I'm reading it just for... just a little bit, though." "You haven't read the whole thing yet?" "No." "I like that." "Nice." "That guy is cool." "Put in extra pickles this time." "So i don't come back in my pajamas again?" "I enjoyed that, but yes." "Hey, no pajamas this time." "Shut up." "I'm off to the bank." "Okay." " Love you." " Love you, too." " What?" " Nothing." "Just, um, how often do you do that... tell her that you love her?" "Every chance i get." "Really?" "Yeah, i'm just so grateful to have her back in my life." "I want her to know it, you know?" "Pathetic?" "No." "Sweet." "See ya." "Bye." " Hey, lynn." " Hey." "What do you think of these?" "Yeah, forget-me-nots?" "Alaska's state flower." "Yeah, i like 'em." "They're cheerf." "I want 'em at my wedding now that patrick and i have decided to get married here in elmo." "Oh." "I thought you wanted to get married in new york." "This is where we met." "I just think it seems so much more romantic this way, don't you think?" "Yeah." "Hey." "A cheeseburger and onion rings." " Oh, thanks." " I ate half." "So annie and patrick are so adorable about their wedding." "Yeah." "So what are you thinking?" "Do youtill want to do the midnight backyard ceremony we always talked about?" "Yeah." "I mean, whatever you want." "Yeah, okay." "Great." "Hey, sorry i'm late." "I was trying to find the perfect native ingredient for my stew." "Um, hey, patrick, do you believe in chemistry?" "Oh, yeah." "Annie and i definitely have chemistry." "Yeah." "Oh, so... what is it exactly?" "I don't know." "But as soon as i met her, i knew i wanted her to be mrs... whoever the hell i am." "Having a little identity crisis here." "Oh?" "We don't have time for that now." "You are on the air." "Hey, elmo." "So if attraction is what brings people together, what is it that keeps us together?" "Is it hard work and dedication to a relationship?" "Or is it something less definable?" "What do you think?" "Does it all really come down to chemistry?" "Why'd you keep hal's last name for the last 26 years?" "You don't say "hello" anymore?" "Well, you were married for, like, a minute." "Why did you keep the "bachelor"?" "Well, hal and i may not have had the best marriage, patrick, but he was still a big part of who i was, who i am." "All right?" "And i always wanted you and i to have the same last name, so... it just made sense." "Yeah, t it doesn't make sense." "Why didn't you go back to your maiden name?" "Hisbutt?" "Celia hisbutt?" "I've been trying to ditch that since the fourth grade." "Right." "I mean, you would have been pat hisbutt." "You should be thanking me."

"Well, the general store's about 4 miles south of here." "I'm looking for wild garlic." "You know it's winter?" "A mild winter, and wild garlic grows in early spring in the woods." "Page 74,"alaskan guide to flora and fauna." "That's impressive, but you're not in the woods anymore." "Yes, i can see that." "I have been walking for quite a while." "Well, good luck to you... and your otters." "You, uh, you sure you're gonna be okay?" "It's kind of confusing in there." "Let me get you a compass." "Don't you worry." "Goldilocks will be fine." "Sara." "I don't know why i'm here." "Well, it's not required that you do." "I used to feel safe in church when i was a kid." "I didn't remember that until i... was here last with you." "I might lose my son tomorrow." "His father wants him back." "And i'm worried that choices i had to make in order to keep him are the same choices that might cause me to lose him." "Sara, you just have to have faith." "But i don't know what i believe in." "But right now... the only thing you have to believe in is yourself." "Avoiding eye contact, touching the face with the hands, shooting fake smiles." "Real." "Fake." "All telltale signs of a criminal lying to you." "Yeah." "You know, i'm not sure i really believe in all that stuff." "Well, you should." "I'm certified." "I can tell a liar a mile away." "Okay." "Yeah."

"Well, just at least have lunch with me." "I have half a sandwich." "Let me draw you a map." "This is where we are... and here is where you need to be." "Didn't i start over there?" "You know what?" "L-l-i can take you back." "They haven't mated yet, have they?" "No, you'd know if they did." "It's not a quiet ritual." "Best sex never is." "So have you, um, set a date yet?" "Um, no, i haven't really been involved in the planning." "Oh?" "We'll probably do it after the baby's born." "One big event at a time?" "Yeah, right." "Right." "Hey, my wild garlic!" "Mar... marin, that's not wild garlic." "It's cow parsnip." "Oh." "Okay." "Parsnip could be interesting." "Yeah, except it's highly poisonous." "My hand is burning." "Yeah." "Sorry." "I'm tryi to be gentle." "They should not be able to call a poisonous plant "parsnip." "They should call it "skull and crossbones" or something." "Well, you're gonna be okay." "Swelling does not equal okay." "I have some antihistamine in my bag." "That should take the swelling down." "It's just your body reacting to the toxins." "Okay."

""Bachelor" is just a name." "I'm gonna be late." "Patrick bachelor?" "Hi." "Thank you, your honor." "We are here on mr." "Jackson's motion to change custody." "The evidence will show that there has been a substantial change in circumstances since ms." "Jackson was originally awarded custody." "In particular, we will show that ms." "Jackson has been engaged in prostitution, and that as such, it is not in matthew jackson's best interest to remain with her." "Mr. Jackson, however, and his wife, are ready, willing and able to care for matthew, and we request the court award custody to them." "Proceed." "I'd like to call chief celia bachelor to the stand, please." "Chief bachelor, elmo is a small town." "Safe to say everyone knows everyone else's business?" "You could say that." "And in the course of your own work as police chief, you've become familiar with sara jackson?" "Yes." "Has ms." "Jackson ever been arrested or cited for prostitution?" "No." "You were aware, however, that ms." "Jackson has, in fact, engaged in prostitution?" "No, i wasn't." "Your mother... is nothing sacred with her?" "Sara is a hardworking single mother who's made a lot of sacrifices for her son... 'cause that's what mothers do." "They care for their children... even when it seems like they don't care for us." "All i know is she deserves some credit for that." "* after midnight feeling gonna take me for no time * * caught my dss in a puddle start to tell... *" "you did a good deed, you know?" "Oh, saving you from a plant?" "Oh, well, yeah, sure, that, but... you also saved a relationship." "Your porn might help the otters at the zoo find their spark again." "Well, we'll see." "So you kind of do for animals what i do for people." "What, you film people having sex?" "I mean that you're a relationship coach now." "Yeah, well, i think it's easier with animals." "And will you stop calling it porn?" "Look who's an artist now." "Mr. Hammond, do you have any remaining witnesses to call?" "Your honor, the men i had subpoenaed to testify... well, they... have chosen not to appear today." "You understand, mr." "Hammond, that means these men are now in contempt of court?" "Are you asking me to issue a warrant?" "No, your honor, we can continue." "In that case, the court finds no substantial change of circumstance." "Therefore, the father's motion to change custody... denied." "Sara jackson to retain custody of matthew jackson." "Well done, sir!" "* well, hallelujah you're the halo over me... * hey, thanks for coming." "Of course." "I'm so glad it worked out." "Hey, can i, uh, buy you a celebratory burger?" "Yeah, i'd like that."

"I waited for dinner, and it never came." "Oh, yeah." "I'm, uh, sorry about that." "You're not sorry." "You're all flushed and smiley." "Uh, well, that's because i found my special secret ingredient." "So get ready." "I'm gonna cook for you tonight, and i have a feeling it's not going to turn out like poker." "We'll see about that." "Hey." "I was worried about you." "Oh, sorry." "It just... it took all ght." "The otters were a little reluctant, but we finally got it." "We?" "Um, oh, yeah, i, uh, ran into marin out there." "She was looking for wild garlic." "She got lost." "Then she got poisoned." "Anyway, it's a long story, but it turned out great." "Great." "Hi, ben." "One pitcher, please." "We're celebring." "The otter po is on its way to the zoo." "I hope them zoo otters don't get addicted to the stuff." "It is a *******" "********* you did not have to say what you said on the court." "No, i did."

"For lying or for disrespecting the law?" "You know what that's called?" "Perjury." "I had to say what i did, all right?" "L-i don't expect you to understand." "You're not a mother." "It's probably good we call it quits, right?" "I mean, it's not like we're in love or anything." "I saw that." "What?" "You do love me." "No, i don't." "You... you just did it again." "No, I... no, i didn't." "You did." " I did not." " You did." " No, i didn't." "That's ridiculous." "I didn't." " Celia, your eyes went up to the right." "All right, fine, i love you."

"I just can't... marry you." "And i can't marry someone who doesn't love me." "I was hoping that would change, but it hasn't." "What happened to us?" "I guess we just lost it." "I guess we lost our... spark." "The good news and bad news about chemistry is that we'll never fully understand how it works." "Hey every relationship is an experiment." "You never know exactly what you'll get." "* open wide come down... * some people bring out a side of you that you didn't know you had." "* you will flaunt i can't say a word... * some people remind you that your story isn't over." "Some people surprise you." "* maybe you're my shooting star blindly falling... * hey, buddy."

"* wishes won't survive on you tonight... * and once in a while, you surprise yourself." "And although all relationships require compromise... i think he likes it." "Baby, he's a goldfish." "Sometimes you get more, not less." "And sometimes you can't get more." "Sometimes what you had is gone forever." "And although it's painful, you have to find the strength to go on, to keep searching for the love, for that one perfect ingredient. no matter how far or how deep you have to go to find it."
