Kilimanjaro
Turn it off. God.
KILIMANJARO:
Michelle and Sam are a great couple.
Well, they've only been
dating a few months.
They met at new year's last
year.
Where' you gays go for dinner?
Okay.
I'm going to.
Maybe that's a good idea.
Is that what you want?
Yeah. I'm ecstatic.
Well, what do you want?
What do you want?
Maybe it's a good idea.
That's what i thought.
Hey.
- Hey! We caught you!
Hey, Doug.
- Hey, dad.
Figured out how to use this
thing
Very funny.
We went up to San Felipe island this
weekend with Keith and Kelly and Dylan.
Oh, yeah.
Dylan was playing in the water for hours.
He, uh...
no, he's not afraid of the waves at all.
That's great.
So, when we came back, uh,
we stopped at seaview and visited your
grandfather, and he's looking pretty good.
Oh, that's good to hear.
He has something that he wants
you to give Clare.
She's not listening, is she?
Uh, no. She's not here.
Yep. All right.
It's a ring that,
uh, belonged to your grandmother.
He thought it would make a nice birthday present.
Uh, Clare and i have decided to take a break.
Wow. Has she moved out?
Yeah.
Oh, honey.
Well, we were struggling for a while,
and it's really better this way.
What were you struggling about?
Well... -I mean, no, it's okay, Doug.
You don't have to talk about it.
I know you're both disappointed.
- No, we're not.
Well, of course we're disappointed.
I'm not surprised.
Ok? I think Clare's getting older, you guys
haven't been progressing or advancing,
and women
need to think about those things, okay?
Clare... she needs someone...
Well, you know, Clare's a very nice girl,
but if she's not the one, she's not.
You know. It's better not to settle for
something that you know isn't right.
Yeah, exactly. Thanks, mom.
Two against one.
So, when did she move out?
Over the weekend. I helped her take
most of her stuff to her friend Cara's.
She's leaving a few things here for now
till she finds a place, but it'll be oka...
Hello?
We're listening.
We're just opening another bottle.
We are not disappointed, Doug.
You're not disappointed.
- Shh.
- I love the merlot.
All right. Yeah.
All right. Doug, you're not trying
to hit a bull's-Eye. Let's go.
Aaaa. Beautiful.
Listen, Doug, you're gonna
want to keep your distance now, man.
I'm serious... like radio silence.
She's gonna want back together.
No, i think we're both realizing how unhappy we were.
- Oh, please. Come on, Doug.
She's gonna go out with some
slutty little girlfriends
and then she's gonna f*** some awful gay
and then she's gonna start thinking
how she's worthless
and she's gonna come running to you
So you can convince her that she's not worthless,
and then you're gonna get back together.
Guaranteed.
I don't think you're giving either of us
enough credit.
Oh, come on. Let me hit one,
then. Move.
Hold on.
No, you're wrong.
There's no going back.
I feel like i've been given a new life.
I feel like now i can...
All right, i'm gonna hit this
one.
Oh, my god.
You really need to work
on your swing, man.
Yeah, well, i'm out of practice.
No, you know what?
You should take lessons from me. Watch this.
Yeah. Maybe i will.
See, that's what i'm talking about.
I feel like now i can do that.
Like, now i can take lessons.
Now i can do whatever i want.
Nice.
Hear that one?
- I am gonna take lessons.
Acces. Activate.
and she looked like -
Cut them into quarter-Inch slices.
During the days, the african sun can raise
the mercury to 23 degrees centigrade or more.
The mountain is, in fact, a stratovolcano
consisting of three distinct cones.
Hikers ascend through seven microclimates
to reach its summit, the uhuru, or kibo,
peak, which stands at nearly 6.000
meters above sea level.
Sorry i missed your call.
Please leave...
Called "every man's everest", the mountain
lures over 10.000 mountaineers every year
To attempt scaling its heights.
Less than half succeed.
The famed snows of Kilimanjaro...
in actuality, ice glaciers...
have receded markedly in recent decades.
But the weather on these slopes
remains varied and often inhospitable.
To the west, the border of Tanzania
bisects lake Victoria.
The city of Kampala stands on the lake's
northern shore,
home to over a million and a half people.
Hey, dad.
- Hi, Doug.
The nursing home... just called.
Your grandfather has been taken to the hospital,
and i don't know how severe it is,
but mom and i are gonna
go there right now, and i will call you later.
I just... i wanted to let you know.
I think it would be a good idea to
fly out here for the next few days
and spend some time with him.
Hey Ernie. Hey baddy.
Hey! Come here.
Where is everyone?
Hello!
Seeing this what seems to be...
- Granddad?
Hello, Doug! Come on in here.
Hey!
- Wait a minute. Let me turn this thing down.
Oh-Ho.
- You could never get close enough.
To see what 95...
- Ohh. Hey. -Oh, good to see you.
You look good.
- Thanks. How are you? How you feeling?
Oh, i'm great.
Uh, i... uh, oh, sorry. Here.
Pull up a chair.
I guess i'm not much of a host these days.
- Oh, nonsense.
Now, i want to know all about
everything that you're doing,
but first,
i want to... i want to tell you.
Now, your father knows that i'm
going to do this.
Open that drawer there.
You see that red box?
I want you to have that.
I want you to give it to your...
your frend.
That was your grandmother's.
Your brother, Keith's, already
married.
you to have it.
I appreciate it.
No, No, No, No, No.
I know a thing or two about women.
You've got to spoil them just a
little bit.
Clare... oh.
She's a rare girl.
I want to hear about life in the
big city.
Well, there's not toomuch to tell.
Where'd you get these?
me, bless her heart.
Is this when you went to mexico?
Yes, that was the first trip...
That's a picture of
my friend James Mckenzie and me.
Doing a headstand?
Yeah, that's right.
He'd do a headstand, and he'd do
about anything you'd ask him to do.
He was a crazy man.
We were gonna take another trip down there.
He had a whole itinerary laid out.
We were gonna go all the way
to Panama City. Yeah.
But then the kids were getting older,
and... we...
There's a picture of your father and
me on our trip up to the cascades.
Hey, man.
- Hey! What's up, survivorman?
F***ing Africa? Really?
Did you look at the pictures?
Where?
Bangkok.
Yeah, i'm not going to Bangkok with you.
Why would we go halfway around
the world to go on a hike?
Let's meet up in an hour.
You want to get some lunch?
Nah.
Do you have time today?
I can come by on my lunch break.
Uh, yeah, sure. Yeah, if you want to.
Ken?! Ken!
Call you when i'm downstairs.
- Ken!
Where is Ken?
Uh, sorry. He's not here.
Where is he?
