Close, though.

Well, that's too bad.

She was a good one.

Mm.

I got you a new Santa Claus.

Very strong neck.

They were giving them away.

Christmas is over.

- It's the holiday of chill.

- Ha-ha-ha.

Brian, that is bizarrely sweet of you

and completely unnecessary.

- Guess what.

- What?

- Woody wrote me a letter.

- You're kidding.

Mm-mm.

Nope. Words and everything.

Really?

"Dear Tracy.

You asked me to speak my mind,

so here it is. My mind.

Do not penalize me for not being

one of those flowery people...

...who shoot their feelings in a spray

like a fire hydrant on a summer day."

- No worry about that. Ha-ha-ha.

- Ha-ha-ha.

I've never seen him do that.

"I just hated the way you changed

when Gilcrest came back to town.

But I don't like to hate.

It's bad for my brain.

Every night...

...when I come home, I start fresh.

I don't bring

what happens up there down here.

I may not be the original owner

of your heart...

...but I am the better owner

and a much healthier option too!"

Exclamation point there.

Mom, there's a new Santa outside.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I liked him a little better

when he was silent.

- Ha-ha-ha.

But keep going.

"You have no--

You have no idea

the fear you calm in me...

...every night I come back home

through that squeaky back door.

Aloha, Woody."

Well, anywhere you turn,

somebody's heart breaks.

Well, come on.

You gotta take a big bite out of your life.

Your husband wrote that.

Are you trying

to play matchmaker now?

I was on the fence till the door part,

but that was the final blow.

- Oh, really?

- I didn't even hear that squeaky door.

I think I--

I just completely lack

that romantic gene.

Just noise to me.

He's your guy.

My Opinion?

Go be with Captain Ng.

That girl lit up your sky.

Whew. No, I messed that up.

Trust a girl who's been on the other side

of your mega mess-ups in the past.

Take those blue eyes and go to her.

Yeah, you don't want it

to be taut, all right?

You want it to billow.

And that's how you hang a flag.

I like it.

Mm...

Are you okay?

- ls that Dad?

- Dad's home?

- Yeah, Dad's home.

- Hey, Dad.

- Where were you? We missed you.

- Dad.

- Tell him what it is.

- Well, we decided...

Well, who wants to help me clean up

the Christmas decorations?

Not me.

LACY".

Welcome to your hearing, Gilcrest.

Congratulations. You're a hero.

Your buddy Carson Welch was setting

a nuclear outpost for himself...

...up in the sky.

- Get the Great One a drink.

- He hid it from everybody.

He wanted to arm America

with his own nuke.

He would've owned the sky.

He would've been his own country.

Everybody knew a little,

but nobody knew everything except...

...Welch.

- It'll all be labeled as a malfunction.

- lt was a bit messy.

But you made us look good.

I'll take all the credit, of course.

Interpol and our guys are taking over.

They're picking Carson up in Japan...

...in just about 30 seconds.

Hey now did I hear your voice I

Ringing out in the early morn I'

Did I hear you singing

Right through the night a'

Out there while I was rolling? a'

Love is all a'

A white dove in the snow

Mama froze X.

This is what we get for letting civilians

into space. Drop your bat, go out on a hit.

All the great ones do.

Captain Ng?

Let it go.

She's on her way.

Get lost, Gilcrest.

I wanna know

what you were like growing up.

What was your favorite pair of shoes?

What was your favorite cereal?

What was the first car you drove?

I mean, I'm just getting started here.

I wanna know, heh,

everything about you.

Why are you still here?

Wherever you're flying, come back,

I'll be waiting for you.

Ten words.

- That's a lot more than five, Gilcrest.

- Ha, ha.

I love you...

...Allison.

It's four. That's not bad.

I'm staying.

Now we're talking.

Can I give you a lift, captain?

Oh, yeah.

Absolutely.

There's one more thing I need to do.

- Yes, you do.

- Yeah.

As the light of day X

You're falling down across

Your lost highway 4'

Pain

Does it hurt this way? a'

To come so far to find

They've closed the gates? a'

This is protection.

You've lost your tongue

When you fall from the pendulum X

Your heart is a drum I

Right on.

Keeping time with everyone a

Everyone

If they drown from the undertow a'

Need to find someone

To show me how to play it slow a'

And just let it go a'

Your eyes get stung by the rays

Of the sinking sun A'

You follow the drum a'

Keeping time with everyone a

Going beat beat beat

It's beating me down a'

Beat beat beat beat

It's beating me down a'

Day after day, it's turning around a'

'Till all my days are drowning out h'

Stars above my head a'

They will fall A'

I will be the moon a'

The moon is full a'

When all is said and done a

We all

We come from the sun X

And the thing that was

Close enough a'

And it's me and you

Up above

Be afraid of all that you can see A'

And don't delay

The way you want to be a'

When all is said and done a

And it's me and you

Up above

Now is always the time a'

To do what's yours is mine I

We all know harm

And to-do a'

We are all warm bloods too I

When all is said and done a

We all

We come from the sun X

And the thing that was

Close enough I'

And it's me and you

Up above I'

I gotta go

Gotta go a'

What comes at the start I

I gotta go

Gotta go a'

What comes at the start h'
