Elizabethtown Page #2

Home, business, or family?

My dad.

Where does he live in Louisville?

Actually, he's near Louisville.

Louisville.

He's in Elizabethtown.

Oh, good.

I hope someone's driving you...

'cause the roads around there

are hopelessly and gloriously confusing.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll draw you a quick map.

I mean, I'm so happy we're sitting here

having this conversation...

at 3:
00 a.m., or whatever time it is.

You know, it's such a great time.

Everyone's sleeping but us.

It's really nice to have a conversation

with you and that you're really listening.

I feel like I can really talk to you...

So, you want to get to 264,

and then you want to not miss 60B.

I'm going to be obnoxious about that.

Bens are strangely delightful

and very intuitive.

Complex. Almost too complex

to be around.

- Do you know any Bens?

- I know one Ben.

I'm a student of names.

For example, what's your dad's name?

Mitchell.

- Mitchell.

- Yeah.

Or Mitch?

Mitchell. Sometimes Mitch.

Son of a Mitch.

And today I was fired by a Phil.

Phil? Phils are dangerous.

Phils are less predictable than Bens.

And your girlfriend is a...

Ellen.

- How's that going?

- Sort of a wait-and-see.

- Oh, yeah?

- But then I waited and I saw.

I was gonna say.

I have never had a good experience

with an Ellen or a Phil.

- How about with a Mitch?

- Never met a Mitch I didn't like.

Fun. Full of life, you know?

You know what I mean when I say fun?

Like you want to be a part

of Mitch's club.

Am I close?

Close.

He's okay, right?

Yeah. He's...

He's fine.

You give him a big old hug for me.

I'm Claire, by the way.

Drew.

- Nice.

- Same to you.

Please.

I'll let you sleep. Here's your map.

Let me take this.

I can handle this.

Let go.

I am not asleep.

I'm not.

I won't really be able to sleep.

I won't really be able to sleep.

Okay. Ready to go, Drew?

I'm not asleep.

Blue suit.

Losing the business.

Louisville.

I'm not asleep.

We'll go next year.

Come back.

One billion dollars.

Good morning.

And congratulations, Drew.

You've earned your wings

as our ten millionth passenger.

And here is a coupon

for any four-diamond hotel...

in the greater western Kentucky area.

Better move quickly.

Lots of people behind you.

- Well, thank you.

- Absolutely.

And good luck with Ben.

Look, I know

I may never see you again...

but we are intrepid.

We carry on.

Drew!

Rental cars around the corner.

You'll see the signs.

Bluegrass Parkway turns into exit 60B.

Don't forget, 60B.

Okay. Thanks.

You okay to drive?

I'm fine.

Uncle Dale.

I'm in Louisville. Just landed.

I'm on the road.

I have a map.

And I'll be there by 2:00.

I have the blue suit.

Where's 60B?

Sh*t, man.

Oh, man!

Did I miss 60B?

Did I miss 60B?

Did I miss 60B?

Did I miss 60B?

Elizabethtown.

Elizabethtown! Yes!

Elizabethtown! We're in!

Oh, yeah. Okay!

Oh, yeah.

Jessie?

Cuz.

Cuz.

This loss will be met

by a hurricane of love.

Charles Dean,

meet grown-up Drew Baylor.

Drew, it's good to see you.

Thank you. My condolences.

And here's my dad, your Uncle Dale.

Wonderful to see you again.

Well, Drew, this is Mitch's plot.

And it has been in your family

for 272 years.

Now, I've endeavored...

to keep this area here

clear for your daddy.

We're still discussing that issue.

There is a possibility of cremation.

Now, here are some of your daddy's

personal things.

The brown wallet.

And here's his ring from West Point.

Now I don't know how y'all feel

out there in California...

but West Point sure does matter

around here.

It matters a lot.

Even though we now live in Oregon.

Everybody.

This is Mitch's boy from California.

One of the California Baylors.

This is Drew.

And just like your daddy was,

we are all very excited...

about your eight-year triumph

with that beautiful shoe.

My condolences to all.

No, sir. I'm not going to let you feel bad

'cause that was from your heart...

but let them say condolences to you.

- I thought condolences was...

- It's incoming. It's an incoming phrase.

Did I not capture your daddy?

I don't know what the word is.

It's just a look I never saw before.

What's the word?

Drew, if you just move around a bit...

you will see different aspects.

Go ahead and cry.

What's the word?

Whimsical.

The word is whimsical.

Hey...

why not?

Whimsical.

- Turkey hash brown casserole.

- It's Russ!

Aunt Dora, Aunt Dora.

Aunt Dora, look what I found.

Oh, my God!

Look at Mitch's baby!

You look just like your daddy.

And who's been feeding you?

Wait just a minute. I gotta talk to Drew.

- We hope you're gonna stay for a while.

- You're a credit to Etown.

Sorry about your dad.

This is your blood.

And that's Samson, my son.

Clearly up to no good.

Samson.

Uncle Mitch always wanted us to meet.

Everybody says we look alike.

Weird, huh? It's like looking in a mirror.

Hi, Drew. I'm Connie.

I was your daddy's first girlfriend and...

Hi, Drew, I'm Charlie.

- I'm a huge fan of shoes...

- My son. My son.

...and the work you've done

in the shoe business.

- We'll talk.

- Absolutely.

We got memorial plans to discuss.

Your daddy was one of my

Sure did miss him

when he went out West.

Drew, I'm E. Russell Marlowe...

with the American Legion

in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Drew, I want to sign you up

with the American Legion...

or the Sons of the Legion.

And I got a hat that I want to give you

as a souvenir, in honor of your dad...

Bill Banyon's not coming, is he?

Bill Banyon is not coming.

Bad dog! Stop that!

Bad dog!

- Samson?

- What a mess!

So, come on in.

You know, it's not every day I invite

good-looking men to my bedroom...

but I just wanted you

to meet your family...

the Baylors and the Conleys.

Let's start with Dickey Conley.

Now, he was an alcoholic.

He had a drinking problem.

And he also had three nipples.

He had three nipples.

And he was a poet.

How's your mother, Drew, honey?

You know...

I really should have a picture of her

in here.

And this picture is...

- Aunt Dora!

- Coming!

Lena, just watch over it.

Two more minutes! I'm coming!

This was the last picture taken

of your daddy.

This was just three days ago, Drew.

He was the most loving man.

- Dora!

- Coming!

Honey, you stay as long as you need to.

Samson.

My God!

- Oh, man.

- Was he driving that?

Samson, you all right, boy?

- You all right?

- You all right?

Oh, my God!

Where the hell's his father?

That's what I want to know.

What happened?

- Hey, who taught you how to drive?

- What the hell do you mean?

- What do you mean?

- You gotta keep your eye on him!

So!

Y'all obviously made a group decision

not to call and invite me.

Hi! Bill Banyon. How are you?

Good to see you.

Bill Banyon. How are you?

Good to see you.

I hear Drew Baylor's here, is that right?

Hi, Connie, how are you?

I'm fine.

- Is this Samson?

- It is. This is Samson.

Come here, Samson! How you doing?

Give me a big boy hug!

I'm so sorry.

I should just go over to the kitchen.
