I'll handle it.

- You, follow me.

- Wait a... What's going on?

I was kidding around with you!

What's happening here?

Is she crazy or something?

Lucy is a very special person.

Very different from other people.

Okay.

About a year ago, Lucy was

in a terrible car accident.

She and her father went up

North Shore to get a pineapple.

Her father broke some ribs, but Lucy

suffered a serious head injury.

She lost her short-term memory.

So she can't remember anything?

No, no, no, she has all of her

long-term memory.

That's a different part

of the brain.

Her whole life, up to the night before

the accident, she remembers.

She just can't retain

any new information.

It's like her slate gets wiped clean

every night while she sleeps.

Hold on. This sounds like something

I would tell a psycho girl...

...so she'd stop calling me.

Am I the psycho girl?

I wish I was making this up!

She has no memory

that she ever met you.

What about the

pineapple-picking thing?

She says that every day,

because each morning...

...she wakes up thinking it's

October 13th of last year.

She comes for breakfast because

that's what she did on Sundays...

...and October 13th

was a Sunday.

She has no idea

it's more than a year later.

She reads the newspaper.

It's a special paper her father

puts on their porch.

It's from the day of her accident.

He got hundreds of them printed.

Lucy does the same thing every day.

- Hello!

- Back here.

- Hi, Dad!

- Oh, hi, sweetie.

You got one without me.

The lady at the farmers' market

gave it to me as a birthday present.

I didn't wanna hurt her feelings.

I think she likes you.

- Yeah, what's not to like?

- What about our tradition?

Well, I have another idea.

I painted my workshop yesterday.

White.

Now it's too white.

Gives me a headache.

Oh, yeah, you definitely

need some colour in here.

Well, you know,

that's what I was thinking.

- Really?

- Yeah. Go nuts.

- Paint me something for my birthday.

- I will.

And promise that we can pick

a pineapple for Thanksgiving, okay?

- Sounds great.

- Okay, good.

Hey, you should watch the Vikings

game while I'm painting.

Good idea.

- Yeah, baby. Isolate.

- What are we eating tonight, Doug?

- Spaghetti, Pop.

- Try not to sweat in the sauce.

Sorry, Pop.

Go Vikings.

Seven hundred and five.

Seven hundred and six.

- Seven hundred and seven.

- Hey, you guys.

Hey, sweetie.

How's the painting coming?

- You'll see.

- Cool.

- Oh. What's the score?

- The Vikings are on the two-yard line.

- Lf they score, they bring it to 14-10.

- Maybe they'll win for your birthday.

And I'll bet Culpepper runs it in.

I'll bet he fakes a handoff to Williams,

throws to Kleinsasser in the end zone.

- Loser does the dishes?

- You're on.

- K eep the offence on the field

Culpepper fak es a handoff

to Williams He will throw

He's got Kleinsasser in the end zone!

Touchdown, Minnesota

Doug, you're good.

Maybe you should be a coach.

- Dad.

- Moron!

That hurt.

And you don't look a day over 25.

Yeah, right, and Doug's muscles

aren't pharmaceutically enhanced.

What? I use an herb supplement...

...that can be purchased at any

health-food store. Check this out.

Check out these glutes.

Rock-hard, baby.

Pretty sweet, huh?

Stop it! You're gonna make me

throw up on the cake.

Okay, just open your present.

Okay. Let's see what we've got here.

The Sixth Sense

Hey! When I'm done doing the dishes,

do you guys wanna watch it?

- Sure.

- Sure.

Ben Friedkin?

Some people, they call me freak

- Ronald Sumner?

- I am I am a freak Look at me

Just give me a chance...

I can't believe it.

Bruce Willis is a ghost.

I'm shocked.

Did you see that coming?

- No.

- Not a clue.

- Shocked as hell.

- Anyway, it was awesome.

- Happy birthday.

- Love you, Sis.

Your muscles are getting so big, I can

barely wrap my arms around you.

You like that?

Check this out.

Okay, okay! Enough with the titty

dance! Let your sister go to sleep.

- I like it.

- Sweet dreams, Lucy.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Hey, Tracy, how you doing?

Yeah?

Well, things changed a little bit

since high school.

And this is what happens

every single day.

How long it gonna take for

her memory to come back?

Her doctors say it may

never come back.

So, basically,

what you're saying is...

...she's perfect for you.

- What do you mean?

You can hang out all day with

no attachment, because...

Her plane leaves every night?

There's a problem with that.

- What is?

- It's evil.

No, it isn't.

You meet her, hang out, flirt,

no commitment, nobody gets hurt.

- She's got brain damage, you psycho.

- Okay, I'll give you that one.

But I think it'd be healthy for you.

You haven't allowed yourself

to connect with a girl.

I appreciate your interest,

but leave me alone.

Hey, you'd be doing exactly

what her father does:

Giving her a wonderful day.

When it's time for you to go on your

big boat trip, poof, you just leave.

She'll never even know you're gone.

I'm not sure about the "poofing" part,

because I'm not a good poofer.

Demonstrate a good poof for me?

Quit busting my coconuts

for five seconds.

All right. Would you stop poofing

on that joint and do some work?

Okay. Let's get this sucker ready.

Then we're gonna take her

out for a spin.

Captain's log:
November 7 th

Nearly midnight

The Sea Serpent is fully

recovered from her mishap

and ready to once again

brave the open ocean

I think my stitches

opened up again, cuz.

You got a cat?

Because I feel something licking me.

How is it?

Peanut Butter Cups.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to say hi to Lucy.

I promise you I'm not gonna

do anything wrong.

What did Sue say?

She said that if I talk to Lucy,

you'll kill me with a meat cleaver.

She's the boss, cuz.

But don't worry.

Lucy probably didn't wanna

talk to you anyway.

- What does that mean?

- This ain't a disco.

She doesn't want guys hitting on her

during her breakfast.

She does if it's Henry Roth.

- Who that?

- Who that? Me that.

I bet you 20 bucks I can get her

to have breakfast with me again.

- You're on.

- I love it.

- How you doing, honey?

- Hey, Sue. Nice haircut.

Oh, mahalo.

See you in a bit.

Nick and I have an arrangement.

You can trust me.

Don't worry.

You should try this out.

Put it in there.

Swivelly door.

Waffleonians can

come in and out now.

Are you from a country where it's

okay to stick your fingers...

...all over someone else's food?

No, I'm from this country.

Why? Were you gonna eat that? Oh.

All right, well, have a good meal.

- Yeah.

- That was pathetic.

Yeah? Why don't you choke

on your Spam?

Double or nothing tomorrow.

Hey. I'm sorry to bother you...

...but you look like a person

who appreciates fine art...

...so I wanted your opinion.

I drew this. It's a picture of a father

and son fishing off a fishing boat.

There's a walrus right there...

Oh, you don't speak English. Okay.

Doesn't look Chinese.
