Attila! Where are you, boy? Did you get that rabbit?
Did ya? I bet you did. My mighty hunter.
You vicious killer. That's my dog.
That's my beast.
Come on. Gimme a kiss.
Wait a minute. Wait a damn minute.
Attila! And you call yourself security?
Don't change the subject.
Love child Love child
Hey, George. Born of poverty
You gonna just stand there, or you gonna help me with these boxes?
Now whattaya got me carryin', huh?
I got a deal on solar panels and batteries.
Well, I told you I wasn't doing any more improvements on the house.
I'm sellin' this place someday.
Yeah, right.
But I see you improved the garden anyway.
Yeah, and that goddam rabbit still got in there.
I told you. He went under your fence, George.
- He did not. - He did too.
Look, I put that fence a foot and a half underneath the ground.
Well, it's a mystery, George.
Anyway, this solar outfit...
is gonna save you money, and it's free.
So, happy birthday.
Thanks, Nate. Thank you.
Who's gonna put it together? Huh?
Not me.
It comes with a manual in three different languages.
- Forget it. - Look, if it's a car, I can fix it.
It's in the garden, I probably can grow it, but...
This is way out of my neighborhood.
Hey, you, uh, you bringin' a date tonight?
No. You?
Well, I'm thinkin' of askin' somebody.
When? Today?
You don't give 'em much notice, do ya?
Well, you even ask anybody? Huh?
Always ask Diana Ross, but she never says yes to me.
- See ya. - See ya later.
But you're never, ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me cryin', baby, for you
Keeps me sighin', baby, for you
So won't you hurry Come on, boy, see about me
- Come see about me - Hey, Bill!
See about your baby Come see about me
Hey, George. George! I forgot to tell you, man.
Hold on. Hold on.
Doctor called.
Banes, will you let me figure it out?
At 10... At 10:00. At 10:00.
He want you que vayas a su ventana at 10:00.
- He wants you to look at his window. - Oh, man!
How ya doin', Lace? You look great.
Yeah. How are the chairs sellin'?
I got one left. I need four more.
Wow. It's going a lot better than I expected.
Yeah, well, you know, people sit down a lot around here.
Yeah.
- Here, I can get these. - No, I got it. Thanks.
Well...
I'll help ya.
Hey, uh, Lace... There's a... There's a party tonight at the Elkhorn Bar.
Why do they call it that? There's no elk around here.
Well, I don't know. They've just always called it the Elkhorn.
Why? They got some poor elk's horn hanging over the bar?
I don't think so.
Anyway, it's my birthday today, and...
there's a party tonight at the Elkhorn.
- I said that, didn't I? - Yep.
George!
- Oh! I gotta look up here at 10:00. - Why?
Well, that's Doc Brunder's office. Have you met him yet?
- No. What does he want? - I don't know.
So, uh, hey, uh, you think, you think, you could come to the party tonight?
No, I don't like to leave my kids home alone at night.
- Well, I, I know a good baby-sitter. Tito's wife. - I just live really far out.
- You know, it's just really... - You know Tito. Tito! Tito!
Hey, George.
Hey, that's nice.
Oh, God.
- So, that's the doctor, huh? - Yep, that's the doctor.
Crazy doc.
- Would you please come tonight? - No, not tonight.
Is it me?
No, it's not you.
Well, then I'll keep askin'.
Man, I would love to get my hands on your carburetor.
I bet you would.
- He say, "She sock it to ya." - Yeah, get back to work, guys.
Ooh, ooh
Baby love, my baby love
I need ya Oh, how I need ya
- Hey, Nate, Nate! - All you do is treat me bad
It's a scandal, you and Diana Ross.
- I told the press. - Oh, man!
- Yep. - She'd be so happy on my farm.
- No stress. - Oh, it's true.
- No media. No press. Just... Just heaven. - Nothin'.
Hey, you're not supposed to be buyin' drinks tonight.
Yeah.
- Jimmy! - Yo!
George doesn't buy drinks tonight. It's his birthday.
- Hey. For you. - Hey, Doc. Hey, you made it.
- Hey, Doc! - How's everybody?
- Hey, shh! Shh! - Still breathing in and out?
- Doc, you gotta... you gotta try that cake. - Hey, you guys.
- Tito's wife made it. It is macho bueno. - As usual.
Come on. Open it, George. Open it.
- Oh, Doc. Th-Thank you. - Hey, Jimmy!
- You're welcome. - Yeah.
You're learning the moves, George, but you've never played...
against turmoil and confusion, so here we go.
I wish we could go back to checkers. Maybe I could win.
No, no, no, no, no. No, no. You have potential, George.
I always said, "George Malley has something extra to offer this world."
I said that the day I, uh, circumcised you.
- He says that every birthday. - It was a bad joke, I know.
You know, you ruined my chance of romance today...
with that obscene stunt in the window.
- It was an outrage. It was a disgrace. - It was a criminal act.
Okay, there was a beautiful girl who walked right away from me.
It was so embarrassing.
George, you talkin' about the woman with the chairs?
Yeah.
Man, they are not all that comfortable.
Well, I think they're perfect. You gotta learn how to sit in 'em.
Ah, here you go. On the house, everybody.
- All right. - Jimmy. Jimmy.
There's no smoking section in heaven.
Ah, don't start, Doc. Don't start.
- George. George. - Pass 'em out. Pass em' out.
- Hey, buddy. - George.
We love ya, man.
- Y'all set? - Yeah.
Great. This is great.
Tito, wait, wait, wait. Tito!
Thanks for comin' to my party, man.
- Happy birthday, kid. - Yup, happy birthday.
Yup, happy birthday.
Thirty-seven.
Anybody see that? Th-Th... There was that light...
- What kind of light? - Th-Th-Th-There was a noise. D-D-D-Did ya hear it?
- No. - Can we finish the game, George?
Man, it, it, it was like, like, like, an explosion, and, and, and it was a flash!
- Like a plane? - No. It was bigger than that. It wa-wa-wa-was farther away.
Oh, you mean, like a star, George?
Man, it knocked me off my feet.
- You fell? - Yeah, I fell. I was...
The man's inebriated.
- I warned you. - I am not drunk, Nate.
I'm taking your queen, George. Now pay attention.
Isn't that checkmate?
That's checkmate, isn't it?
You mean he beat you?
You let him win, Doc? Birthday present?
I didn't let him win anything.
You're a little pissed off about that, aren't ya?
- Play another one? - Y-Y-You can get your revenge on me tomorrow, all right?
- You feeling okay? - Yep.
- Can you drive, George? - Yeah, I'm all right.
Hey, thanks, everybody.
- Happy birthday, buddy. - Happy birthday, George.
That was a good party.
Oh, I can't sleep.
That's it!
- What? - I figured it out.
Jesus, George, what are you doing calling me? It's late.
I thought that farmers got up when it was still dark?
That's if you have cows. I don't have any cows, George.
Now look. There's only one explanation for that rabbit.
What?
You see, when I built that fence higher and deeper,
he was already in there.
See, he was hiding. I fenced him in.
- There's only one thing I can do now. Just let him out. - Good night, George.
Good night.
- Here's Roger. - George, can I have my Bronco back?
I don't have any cash right now, but I need my car.
Well, I need some solar panels installed on my roof.
- I don't know anything about solar. - Well, Charlie Shipper does,
and, uh, he needs a well dug on his property.
You help him dig the well, he'll help me with the panels, and I'll fix your car.
Deal?
Yeah, deal.
I'll, uh, I'll call Charlie.
Hi. I just called about, uh, fixin' my brakes.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll be right with ya. Uh, Tito...
- Come on. - Tito, he speaks Spanish better than I do now.
Yeah, better than me too.
All right. Where's the owner and operator of this vehicle?
- You a cop? - Our mom's in the store.
- Mm-hmm. You got the brake on, sport? - His name's Al.
- And what's your name? - Glory.
Well, I'm George. Pop the hood, Al.
Why?
You know how to start this thing?
Duh.
Ah! Emergency road service, ma'am.
Your truck can't breathe and your idle's too fast.
Mmm, sorry. Gotta go.
Where? You're not, uh, leavin' town, are ya?
No, just San Francisco, for the day.
Oh, I used to live there. Uh, a-a-ask, ask me directions on where you're goin'.
As a matter of fact, ask me anything at all.
You could even ask me to come along.
I'd show you the sights, hazards. Whattaya think?
I think your idle's too fast.
San Francisco, huh? But you were born here, right?
- How did you know I was born here? - Just now, in the store. Someone said:
"I've known George Malley all my life,
and if he said he saw a UFO, he saw one".
I didn't say that.
- You saw one? - But I didn't say what I saw.
What'd it look like?
Well, it could've been.
That's 'mate, Doc.
Wait, wait, wait! Wait, George!
Now, what in the hell is goin' on here? What?
Look, you know, I don't know, Doc. I-I-I really don't.
Just lately I've been, been seeing things so clearly, you know?
And, uh, you know, uh, I understand right away.
I concentrate. And books. I can't stop feeding myself.
I read two, two, three books a day. Imagine that.
And-And-And uh, you know, I can't stop and I, I, can't sleep ever since the...
I-I... I gotta go. Get back to work.
Ever since the sighting.
- Roger, it was a damn light! - And a boom.
Now, did you hear it?
Well, no. Anybody? About nine days ago, right outside here?
Was that 12:00, George?
George, come in for a physical, okay?
George? Two or three books a day?
- At least. - About what?
About everything. You know, all the things I've wanted to know about and learn.
Like what?
You tell me, Rog.
I mean, what have you always wanted to know about and learn? Hmm?
Think about it.
I'm waiting for ignition
I'm looking for a spark
Any chance collision and I light up in the dark
Such a mass of motion
Do not know where it goes
I move with the movement and
I have the touch
Any social occasion
It's hello, how do you do
All those introductions
I never miss my cue
So before a question
So before a doubt
My hand moves out and
I have the touch
Lonely, only wanting contact with you
Shake those hands
Shake hands
I have the touch
CQ, this is W-B-6-Q-L-F standing by.
Searcher out of Harmon, California. Is anybody in the void tonight?
I'm lookin' for Diana Ross, but I'll accept any voice in the English tongue.
Is that you, Diana?
- Hey, George. - Now look, Nate.
You haven't sat until you put your ass on one of these home-made willow chairs. Okay?
Now I bought you a pair so you could put your feet up.
Or, if you, uh, want a friend to sit in there, if you decide one day to invite someone over.
Whattaya think?
- I don't think they go, George - Oh, what would you know?
Looks like a swap meet blew in here.
Talk about needin' a woman's touch. This is an emergency.
Hey, Nate. I've been workin' on that solar kit you gave me.
I'm tellin' you, the whole field of photovoltaics is, is just in babyland.
I mean, you know, th-the idea that plants have been storing...
and, and using the sun's energy since the birth of the world.
I mean, photosynthesis is, is a model for us,
and, and we're just scratching the surface of what we can do with these silicon cells.
I'm tellin' ya. What?
What?
You just talk so fast, George, and, and you know so much stuff.
I'm sorry. I can't help it, Nate.
It's okay.
- What is that? - Oh, it's just computers talking to computers.
Shh. Leave it, leave it, leave it.
Ah, come on. The Morse code's goin' too fast for you to pick that out.
No, no, no, no. It's... It's... I can hear it.
- Bull. - No, I'll tell ya what it is. A repeated pattern.
They're looping a message.
- "Watering the golds F-Friday." - Yeah, yeah.
Now who'd be sending a coded message like that in simple Morse?
Oh, man, look. I pick up like two different air force bases.
I think we better leave this one alone, George.
Mm, no, no. This is a different one. Listen, listen.
This one's much denser, but it's still a loop; it still repeats. Listen.
- Seriously, I think we... - Oh, I gotta record this.
- I think we need to leave this alone. - Hey, where's your...
- No, no, no, no, no. - What are you doin'?
Well, I want to take it home so I can break it down, and then we can answer it.
- Why? - Because it gives me something to do, Nate.
I don't know if it's getting worse or it's gettin' better, but...
You know, I have 12 hours in the night to kill, and I...
When I get tired of reading, I do crossword puzzles, but they're all too simple.
Too simple?
And then everybody I know is asleep, and I'm, I'm awake at night.
Is there something, um, something I could do?
Hey! Why don't we just go outside and box?
I could split your lip again. You'll... Ya... You'll feel a lot better.
No!
Hey, if you send a message, would they get it?
Yeah, sure. Um...
Send this. Send them...
"Don't, uh... Don't overwater the golds." Say that.
- Okay, fine. The golds? - Marigolds. - Oh, yeah.
No, no, no. Say: "Don't overwater the marigolds Friday."
"Don't overwater...
- the marigolds on Friday." - Right.
- "We'll be watching." - Yeah, yeah. We'll be watching. - How does that sound?
Oh, my God. This is cool.
It's okay, Attila. It's nothing. Static electricity, that's all.
That's all it is.
See, here. Here you go.
Okay. All right. Okay.
Oh, God.
Oh, God! Oh, man!
Is somebody trying to tell me something? Huh?
What?
- Did ya pee in the cup? - Yep.
- Still having trouble sleeping? - Yep. Any ideas?
How long you been feeling this way?
You know how long I've been feeling this way.
Everybody does. It's been over a month since my birthday.
Notice anything else, or...
- Yeah. - What?
- Well, watch your fountain pen there. - Whattaya mean?
- It's telekinesis. - Yeah.
Is that okay?
Do it again. Do it again.
You know, I consider myself a rational man. A man of science.
You know, open to whatever. But, uh, I feel like a child, George.
- I feel scared. - Me too.
Well, whatever the reason is, I promise you we'll find it. Okay?
Now, let me see you do that one more time.
It's a monster, George.
Yep, yep. This old Frankenstein here gets 90 miles to the gallon on methane,
and it's made from my garbage and Nate's pig manure.
- Special blend. - Sure smells like it.
See, Georgie.
- Hello, Lace. - Hey. These are a little bit different.
- I used a little bit of a wider branch on these. - Yeah, they look great.
George, are these yours?
Yeah, yeah. I've been working on some, uh,
special organic fertilizers.
- Go ahead. Taste it. - Mmm.
No, no, no. Bite into it like a, like an apple.
You got some on your chin. Sorry.
Maybe, uh, maybe the kids would like some?
- It's great. Thanks. - No, no, no. Wait. Wait.
Let me pick some out for you.
If the kids like them, you know,
y-y-you could make anything.
You could make a sauce or a soup.
George, I thought you were smart.
Hey, what she got, anyway?
Yeah, yeah, besides uncomfortable chairs.
My heart, amigos. My heart.
Jump in, let's go
Lay back, enjoy the show
Jump in, let's go
These are the days when anything goes
Every day is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Every day is a faded sign
- I get a little bit closer - Hey, George! Where do you think you're goin'?
- To feelin' fine - You guys going home?
You want a ride?
- Okay. - Glory!
- Oh, what? - Glory, come on.
- Would you come on? - All right.
- Al! - Okay.
Hurry. Hurry up!
Jump in, let's go
These are the days when anything goes
Every day is a winding road I'm feelin' fine
- Are those for our mom? - Yep.
I thought flowers were for dates.
- Don't get spooky, Al. - Did she invite you?
Hey, wait a minute!
Blue. I don't have blue.
Every day is a winding road
- Every day is a winding road - Oh, great.
- You guys know the name of this, uh, this flower? - No. - No.
A Delphinium belladonna.
That's the Ranunculaceae family.
I didn't always know the names of flowers,
but it seems, recently, that I can pretty much name any flower I see.
- Mmm. - Yeah. Like this one is Lamonium Sabbatom.
And, uh, this is the, uh...
Doesn't make them any prettier though.
Is that a garbage bag tie?
Yeah. I was improvising.
Hey, now, that's a good idea.
Ah, that's much better.
Yep.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Every day is a winding road
My mom's around back!
Every day is a winding road
Lace?
- Hi. - Hi.
Now, you didn't nearly take enough tomatoes,
and I'm very proud of them.
Well, there you go. And, uh...
I got you these.
Well, that's every wildflower from my, my house to your house.
Your kids helped.
- Thanks. - Yeah.
- Hey, what are ya workin' on? - Nah, nothin'.
Nothing.
Wow, that's, that's really great work. Look at this.
- Beautiful. - Ah, you want to, um, walk?
Sure.
- Shh. - I-I-I gotta tell ya, you know, you got great kids.
Yeah, they are great kids, but you don't really know that yet, George,
because you don't know them, and you don't know me.
- Well, uh, I'm tryin' to get to know ya. - I know.
I... I really want to keep my life very simple.
Even predictable. That's why I moved here.
I don't like surprises, and I don't like complications.
What happened to you, Lace?
Ah, I'm sorry. Th-That's none of my business.
- No, no. That's okay. - I'm stupid.
- I'm so sorry. - So let me ask you something, George.
When a man comes over with a basketful of tomatoes, what is he expecting?
- Dinner? - No, no, no. Just hoping.
Trifolium?
Y-Y-You don't have any purple in those flowers I got you, do ya?
Whoa. D-D-Did ya feel that?
Feel what?
Whoa.
W-W-Well, come here. Come here. That's it.
Okay.
- Feel that. Right there. - Feel what?
Oh, God. I think I know what this is.
- What? - C-C-Could I use your phone?
Yeah.
Okay, yeah.
Just east of Harmon. You know which one I'm talking about?
No, I-I was told to call you, and I'm telling you right now...
that I picked up on some activity.
No, we didn't use any instrumentation.
No, I don't have a degree and I haven't studied anywhere, but I'm just tryin' t...
Are you shutting me down here? Is that what's going on? Are you trying to shut me down?
Look I'm just tryin' to tell you that I felt the compression waves, okay?
ULF. Ultra-low frequency waves. Now, now, they have...
the ability to make you nauseous and dizzy. Am I right?
Okay, well, that's what I felt!
And... And I'm tryin' to tell you that, that I think that there...
There's an earthquake coming.
Um, listen, Al. Why don't you put some masking tape on the cupboards?
And, Glory, bring the vases down and the china.
This is good, Lace.
- I think you're a good cook. - No, I'm not.
I only make two things pretty well. Pork chops and, um, turkey.
Which is this?
I'm just...
Look!
- Al. - Hmm.
- Oh, you. - I was just joking.
Oh, please.
Oh, you scared me.
Not funny.
Thanks.
- All right. Can I say it now? - What's that?
- You've got great kids. - Oh, thanks.
- And I thank you for dinner. - You're welcome.
- And good night. - Good night.
Good night.
- Shh. She's coming. - Tell her.
- No, you tell her. - Shh.
- Come on.
- He's neat. - Yeah, he's nice, isn't he?
Yeah, but he thinks he saw a UFO and he thinks he can predict earthquakes.
There may be a warning here.
- But he never said for sure it was a UFO. - Yeah.
Oh, Jesus! Doorway! Doorway!
Let's get in the truck. Get in the truck.
- It's over, Mom. - I know it's over. Let's go. Now.
Did you feel it, huh?
Did you get scared, huh?
Do you realize the possibilities of this, huh?
Do you know what this means?
You felt it, didn't you?
- You did! - What is going on, George?
- Wasn't that amazing? - Tell me what's happening.
I don't know. I don't... I don't know.
I need the simple truth, George.
This is the truth. W-W-W-What's happening to me i-i-is the truth.
Oh, no.
Lace.
I love those chairs, Lace. I love them. I didn't...
Y-You made them. Okay? All right?
I wanted to see you, okay? I mean...
Bring them back to the shop tomorrow. I'll give you your money back.
I don't want my money back, Lace.
I just asked you for one thing, George.
The truth. And you couldn't handle it.
- George, haven't you called her yet? - Never mind about that, will ya?
N-N-Now this is the second one. Gladiolus. Remember that.
How do you know she's still mad at you?
I know. Now, all right.
- Write her a note. - No, no, no. I found this.
Classic five-bed garden pattern. Here.
Flowers. You should send her flowers or candies.
Yeah. Marigolds, gladiolus, roses, etcetera.
And I went to the library...
and I looked up the missile silo pattern at the Masterson Air Force Base,
and I made my, my own overlay.
And here we go. There.
- Yeah. - See, that, that's their, that's their garden.
You see? Well, that's old stuff.
It's, uh, and it's, uh, declassified.
But now this stuff is trickier.
This is, uh, trigraphs and tetragraphs and ABBA class.
- George... - Yep?
Why don't you just tell me what you want me to send?
All right. Send this. Why don't you send this?
"Mind your garden. Frost coming. Luck on the Mozop."
Want to know what Mozop is?
It's okay. It's your game, George.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you sat in this chair yet?
- It's nice. - Yeah, yeah.
You should give her a call right now.
Naw. Let her cool off.
I figure I'll give her 'bout a year.
Pick up the phone and call her, George.
Look who's talkin'.
Diana Ross fan club, right? Have you said ten words to a woman this year?
- Ah, I'm sorry, Nate. - Your transmission's finished, sir.
I've just been going through some things lately.
Everybody's going through somethin'.
I know, but, uh, this thing's been hard for me to handle.
Let me show you somethin'.
You suppose they magnetized you?
I don't know, buddy. I wish I did.
- What we got here? - Doc, are we glad to see you. You better hurry. This man...
One of you go to the garbage and bring me any food containers you find.
Somebody else, go in the cabinets and look for damaged or swollen cans.
- Food poisoning. - I think.
Now what the hell is he saying? Who speaks Spanish?
That's Portuguese. They just came in last week.
Portuguese?
He's trying to tell us something about Berto.
That's the little one. It's a little boy.
All right, some of you search around here for the kid.
I'm gonna tell you right now, he could be pretty darn sick.
Now, Bonnie, wait. Uh...
Get on the phone and get George Malley over here.
Tell him what's goin' on, and tell him to stop at the library for an English/Portuguese book.
Tell him to find out how to ask where a lost boy is.
- Got that? - George Malley?
You bet. George.
Go on. Do it. Just go on. Go on!
Don't you answer that?
Not when I'm workin'.
I've been farmin' all my life, but this growth is amazing, George.
- This is embarrassin'. - You know, I wanna try this fertilizer on your south 40.
You just sprayed my boots.
It's the worst soil in the county.
Can't even get weeds to grow in that field.
But I bet we can get corn to grow in that field.
You bet? You don't have any money to bet.
You spent all your money on chairs, remember?
George Malley?
- Yeah, I'm George Malley. - I'm John Ringold.
We talked on the phone the other day.
- John Ringold? - Yes.
- From Berkeley? - Yes.
All right. Hi. Hey, I'm glad you came by.
- Will your dog let me step out? - Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, he just has a thing for seismologists.
- Yeah, come on out. - Thank you.
Yeah, this is my friend, Nate Pope.
- How do? - How do you do?
W-W-Well, let me get you a cold drink. Come on in.
- From the university, huh? - Yes. - Uh-huh.
And, uh, we are very interested in how...
you were able to predict that earthquake, Mr. Malley.
Oh, that.
You see, I, I, just picked up the subsonic frequency waves, right?
And, of course, I was standing on the fault, so that made it easier.
- W-W-What instrumentation did you use? - Just me.
If you think that's somethin', you should see him move stuff with his brain.
Nate, never mind that. You see, I felt the ultra-low frequency waves,
and they kind of made me dizzy and nauseous, right?
And that's how I perceived all this.
We've been studying quake prediction for ten years.
There's no record of any person ever feeling the pre-quake activity.
Now there is.
We have some ULF equipment in our labs.
Could you come in for an experiment?
- Come to Berkeley? - Yes.
Yes.
Well, my department would like to interview you and clear this up.
I-I-I would be... I would be so glad to come to Berkeley.
Do you... Do you think I could meet w-w-with some other departments as well?
I-I-I have some experiments I'd, I'd like to show you. Come with me.
They're nice.
All right. Well, uh, let's see.
Um... Oh, oh, yes. Here. Okay, now look, um...
I've taken solar panels, and I've actually germinated the seeds...
t-that made these, these, these plants grow.
I'm trying to change the electromagnetic field, right?
- Um, Mr. Malley? - I took, uh, incandescent lighting,
- Mr. Malley? - and I turned it into sunlight,
which actually made these, these plants grow.
- Mr. Malley? - Oh, now, look...
I-I took pig manure, and I turned it into a f-fuel...
which I-I believe will actually run an automobile.
All I'm interested in is the earthquake.
We need to know if that was a fluke, a coincidence.
A fluke?
George, why don't you move something with your mind?
Maybe move his, uh, something like that?
- Look, Mr. Ringold... - Doctor.
D-D-Doctor Ringold, uh, I-I... Look, I...
I've got... I've got my garden out there, and t-t-that acts like a lab, right?
And I, I got everything that you see here, but I...
- I really need to talk to people like you, okay? - Hey, George!
- George, are you home? - Please don't go, okay?
- George, get out here! - Please... Just please don't go.
Hey, George!
George, Doc says, you better come right now!
What's the matter?
Come on, man. It's an emergency!
You gotta learn how to talk Portuguese on the way over there.
I gotta go.
Portuguese? Learn Portuguese?
Why don't you go along, Professor?
George, Doc's inside. He thinks it's food poisoning.
Hey, George.
- Hey, Doc. George is here. - He's gonna be fine, George, but his grandson is missing.
Now, if they ate the same thing, the boy could be a lot worse off.
You brought the book?
- Yeah, I have it. - All right. Okay.
Ask him where the boy is?
He's in orchard. He said he's in the orchard.
All right. Okay.
He said that they ate something bad, and he thinks the b... the boy is sick.
Tito drove the truck while I-I read the book.
George Malley. You learned the Portuguese language in 20 minutes?
Not all of it.
- What are we lookin' for here, a kid? - What's the kid's name?
- It's Alberto. Berto, Alberto, yeah. - Alberto? Alberto.
Now, let... let's spread out and comb these... comb these trees. Everybody, let's go.
- Okay. - Look real careful. - Alberto!
Call out his name.
- Alberto! - Alberto! - Alberto!
- Berto! - Alberto! - Alberto!
- Where are you, kid? - Alberto, where are you, fella? We're comin'.
- Alberto! - Alberto!
- Berto! - Berto!
No, nothin' over here!
George, whatcha got!
Huh? What?
- He's not in the orchard. - Huh?
He's sick, Doc.
- He's there. - Where is he, George? Where?
- Over here. - Okay. Let's go.
We're with you. We're with you.
What's goin' on?
You okay, George?
It's not me. It's him.
Tell me where he is.
I don't know. I don't know.
Look! There's a ladder under there!
Come on.
He was right!
He's up here!
Doc! Better get up here fast.
Good work, George.
- So, is, uh, Wednesday good for you? Say 2:00? - Sure. Wednesday's good.
- Should I send a car? - No, no, John. I'll get there on my own.
And, and I'll, I'll have somebody from solar energy there.
And, uh, anything else?
Yeah, automotive. Hey, d-d-d-do you have an agricultural school at Berkeley?
- Yeah. - Well, how 'bout for my fertilizer?
I'll take care of it.
Hey, George.
That's the little boy's mom.
She's the only one who talks English, I think.
Oh, it's too bad she wasn't here earlier, huh?
Yeah. But I guess she had to look for work, man.
I want you to meet a very special guy.
This is the... This is the man who, who found your son, okay?
Very special. This is George Malley.
- This is Ella. - Hello.
- Thank you. - It's okay.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I'll take you to the hospital, okay?
Thanks, George.
- Way to go, patrón. - Do you know what kind of work she was looking for?
Hmm, cook, I think they say. Housekeeper.
You know somebody who's looking?
- All right, Nate. - Thanks, George.
I found a housekeeper for you. A Portuguese woman.
She cooks too. I think she's perfect for you.
I don't know if I could eat Portuguese food, George.
Well, she'll cook ya anything you want, Nate,
and she'll try to make sense of that so-called house that you live in.
- She speak English? - Well, a bit, but, uh...
That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna work on your Portuguese.
- Me? - Yeah! You got a problem with that?
No, no. It's, uh... I don't know if that's gonna work, George.
All right, Well, let's try it. What do you wanna say?
How 'bout, uh, something like, um, um...
- Can you come twice a week? - Okay. Can you come twice a week?
Okay. Can you come twice a week?
That sounds complicated, George.
Oh, no. You got your tape recorder, and, and, uh, you'll learn it phonetically.
No problem. What else?
Uh, how much per day?
How much per... Oh, okay, good. How much per day?
- I like that one. - Yeah? Yeah. - That was nice. Okay. Okay. - What else?
Um, ah... Can you start next week?
- Perfect. Logical, right? Okay. - Yeah. Yeah.
Can you start next week?
Beautiful language, huh?
- That's it? - Yep. Work on those.
You know, George, I might be pretty good at Portuguese.
No... Oh, never mind. We'll get used to 'em.
If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone.
It's a good arrangement.
- What are we reading? - This.
What is this? Where did you get this?
- From me. - This is not a good choice for bedtime.
- Are you still mad at him? - What's the difference?
He's neat, and they say...
he saved that boy's life at the orchard.
He's funny.
We are funny enough. We laugh all the time.
Look, we're reading Black Beauty, and we are not talking about men.
I've got enough to worry about. Too much.
- What? - Well, you guys, for one.
We're not little any more.
I know you're not little any more, sweetie,
but you think that George Malley is safe, and you're afraid of coyotes.
You've got it all backwards. Here. Find our place.
Go brush your teeth. I'll be right back.
- Don't you have a report to do? - Did it.
"They're everywhere..." Oh, Al. Do you really believe this?
Yeah. There's been a lot of UFO people coming into town...
since George saw what he saw.
- The word's spreading, Ma. - You just believe what you wanna believe.
Most people do. You get over it.
- Hey, I thought we were getting ready for bed. - No.
- Stop talking about him, all right? - Why do you hate him?
- 'Cause I like him. - Told you.
Told you.
But if he was sitting here with us right now, wouldn't you be watching him,
wondering, "What's he thinking?"
"When's he gonna leave?"
"Is he gonna leave?" Hmm?
We don't need that.
It's okay. Shh.
I heard he took 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes, he read the whole damn book, knew Portuguese.
- You were there. He was too! - And then he went running around in the orchard.
Shh. Here he comes. Here he comes.
- Hey, George. - Hello.
- Hi. - Hi.
- So, George. How did you feel that earthquake comin'? - Voices tell ya?
- Voices? Hell no. - What else do you know, George?
Well, I know you're on the outs with Lisa again.
- How did you know that? - Well, 'cause when she's livin' with you,
she makes sure your clothes match.
Poor Banes.
Do you get messages, George?
Yeah, well, yeah, uh, when Paulette delivers the mail I do.
But, uh, today s-she was two hours late.
I think we oughta do something about that.
Complain or somethin'.
Earthquake, earthquake. Can we...
Well, it... You know, Jimmy, it was just, uh...
I was out by Ash Creek, and I felt some vibrations. That's all.
How'd you know where to find the boy in that orchard?
Well, I don't know, Bonnie. I mean, come on.
Do you know what's going to happen?
Roger, come on!
I'm sorry, I'm...
They say at the library you read four books a day now.
Yeah, well, that was last week and, uh...
Ah, I-I better go.
How many languages do you speak now?
Excusez-moi, Jimmy.
Huh? If anything bad was gonna happen, you'd tell us,
won't ya?
Hey!
Uh-huh.
- Okay. I'll be back. All right. - All right.
- Excuse me? - Okay.
Okay, thanks.
- Hi, Lace. - Hello.
I'm sorry I lied to you about the chairs.
I... I just wanted you to come to my shop so, so you would talk to me,
instead of, um, instead of always walking away from me.
What do you want, George?
