Brigsby Bear Page #2

---

it felt like a...

Like a piece of our heart was missing.

Okay?

So, okay, just love you,

love you so, so much.

You need anything else,

or you just want to kick it?

No, thank you.

- Sure. Okay.

- Just go. Yeah.

May our minds be stronger tomorrow.

- Thanks, James. That was great.

- Yeah.

What did you think about that, Aubrey?

Pretty cool, huh?

- Really cool, dad.

- Oh. We should do the list. Remember?

All of our favorite stuff

James hasn't had a chance to do yet.

We can do it all together as a family.

Yeah. That's right. I love that idea.

Doesn't that sound like fun, James?

- Oh! I know. Swimming!

- Mmm.

- Good one.

- Yeah.

- Swimming. In a pool and out at the lake.

- Mmm. Mmm-hmm.

Oh, oh. Canoeing.

- Skipping rocks.

- You're on fire.

Fly fishing.

Why are you guys

so all about water right now?

You're, like, freaking him out.

Well, I'll just balance the list out

with a bunch of land activities, too.

And, James, you can choose to do

whichever ones you like.

Guess I'd just like to watch

the new Brigsby tape, if that's okay.

Brigsby 1899'?

Seriously, though. Has it come in yet?

- I don't know what that is.

- Yeah.

Look. See. It was delivered

to our supply drop every week.

Volume 14, episode 20.

"Making friends with the wizzles."

- Huh. Real cool.

- Yeah.

You know, you need a vcr for this,

which we don't have.

But I bet pop-pop Daryl's box

is in the basement.

We could probably find a vcr.

Well, you know, in the meantime

there's a bunch of other shows

that we can watch

on our television right now.

So, they make other shows?

Oh, look, there's a funny family.

Or a dance contest.

Or... ah, fancy cakes.

Here. Why don't you try to drive, okay?

This is how you scroll up and down.

And then you just press select

when you like something. Couch potato.

Thank you.

...incredible story out of Utah.

A young man reunited with his family

- after being abducted...

- Oh, god.

- ...from cedar hills.

- Here. Let's watch something else.

- The alleged kidnappers...

- Sh, sh.

...are a former city college

professor April mitchum

and her husband Ted,

the artist and designer

behind the wildly popular 80's toy,

Terrence the tiger.

The couple are being charged

with felony kidnapping and imprison...

There.

So, I think maybe it's my bedtime.

You guys probably need to turn off

the generator anyway, right?

Uh... I...

We don't really have bedtimes here.

But you're welcome to go to your room

whenever you want.

We're on an electrical grid.

Oh, sorry.

What are you doing?

I really like those rhythms.

What?

The music rhythms...

Okay.

James?

Hey, I took today off from work.

I was thinking maybe

me and you could have some fun.

I got a surprise planned.

Tell me where it says

you're not allowed to bite someone

in the rule book.

Yep, there it is. You're right.

Hey, coach Brad,

I think I found your problem.

Your car's a piece of crap.

Hey, gordo,

how about next time you take the bus.

You wish.

How am I supposed to find somebody

by Saturday...

Seth, I think I have to call you back.

Hey, wait up! Hey, where you going?

Hey, you're not in trouble.

Take off your helmet.

A girl?

Yeah, a girl.

Hannah slice, as a matter of fact.

Where in the heck did you learn

to shoot a puck like that?

And remember when the one called gordo...

When he ate all that cake,

and then he slipped

and fell on his backside?

- Remember that?

- Yeah. Sure, that was pretty funny.

It was different than Brigsby 'cause

there weren't any spells,

it was just one long adventure.

- But, you should...

- If you had seen it...

It was just on a gigantic screen.

Yeah. Hey, since you brought up Brigsby,

maybe we could talk about that. Yeah?

I think that's a great idea.

Thank you, Mrs. pope.

Wait, who is that?

Um...

My name is Emily. Remember?

No, I know, but what is this?

Having to meet with you, what...

What's going on?

Well, your parents and I thought

it might help if we got together

every once in a while to just talk.

Okay, but why though?

Because that's what I do.

I help people.

Everyone says they're trying

to help me

but nobody can find me

the new episode of Brigsby.

Well, first of all,

there wasn't a new episode this week.

- That's impossible.

- James.

The way that the police found you was...

Someone spotted Ted going into a warehouse

about 40 miles outside of

where he was holding you captive.

And inside that warehouse,

they found a television stage of a cabin,

with props and puppets.

Do you see where I'm going with this?

Brigsby stuff?

My dad... my old...

My old dad actually got to go there?

James...

Ted mitchum, your captor,

he was the one making the show.

James?

Yes!

My dad or my old dad, he knew Brigsby?

I think you're missing

the point here, okay?

He was the one who was deciding

what Brigsby would do next?

That's right.

Did it have...

Did they figure out

who's going to take over doing it?

No one's taking over doing it.

You're the only person

who's ever seen the show.

But I have friends

on the Brigsby bear fan forum

that watched it on my computer.

Well, the computer at your old home

was run on a closed network.

So, any content there we can assume

was created by Ted and April.

So, Brigsby boy one,

Brigsby boy two, Brigsby boy three...

They weren't real?

I'm sorry, James, no.

What about Brigsby girl?

I know this isn't easy.

And there are going to be

some really deep emotions

associated with this transition.

And we're so excited

to help you get back on track,

and, you know,

we're going to have so much fun.

You're not even going to remember

some old TV show.

So, what do you think, James?

Do you have any other questions?

Yeah.

Who made hockey high?

Uh...

I think it was the guy who did

sir bachelor. Is that the name of it?

- Mr. bachelor.

- Mr. bachelor.

Does he do all the movies?

No... uh...

There are lots of different directors

who make lots of different movies.

Yeah.

Can anyone do it?

Sure.

Hey.

Hey.

So, I'm going to my school's football game

with a couple of people.

And if that's something you wanted

to go to, then you're invited.

But you totally don't have to.

Is that the thing with the mean guys

in the mask where they get mad?

Exactly. It's really stupid.

And...

And do you want... do you want me to

come to it? Or is it something...

Aubrey?

Yeah, I guess.

Okay, so look.

We're not going to a football game.

- We're not?

- Uh, no.

This kid, his parents are out of town.

So, he's having a couple people over.

It should be totally fine, but...

Just be normal, all right?

And don't tell anyone how old you are,

that we're related.

- What's up?

- Hey, man.

- Sorry.

- It's cool.

Hey, I'm merideth.

- Hi.

- That's James.

Yeah, I saw you on the news, man.

It's crazy.

You like cedar hills?

I like movies.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I don't know.

Matt keeps texting me, but...

I like him for you.

- Are you going to hang out?
