Message In A Bottle Page #3

---

We think maybe this is

the first one or the final one.

204

00:
15:39,214 -- 00:15:41,494

''This is a message and a prayer.

205

00:
15:41,839 -- 00:15:44,719

The message is that my travels

taught me a great truth.

206

00:
15:45,089 -- 00:15:47,839

l already had what

everyone is searching for. . .

207

00:
15:48,213 -- 00:15:49,853

. . .and few ever find:

208

00:
15:50,172 -- 00:15:53,242

The one person in the world

who l was born to love forever.

209

00:
15:53,630 -- 00:15:55,670

A person like me, of the Outer Banks. . .

210

00:
15:56,046 -- 00:15:57,526

. . .and the blue Atlantic mystery. ''

211

00:
15:57,838 -- 00:15:59,508

Outer Banks.

That's North Carolina.

212

00:
15:59,921 -- 00:16:02,721

Right. But it's about a dozen towns.

213

00:
16:03,088 -- 00:16:06,318

Only four support a boat-building

and restoring company.

214

00:
16:06,713 -- 00:16:07,593

Then we got him.

215

00:
16:07,879 -- 00:16:10,789

We've got stringers there,

and a sister paper in Wilmington.

216

00:
16:11,171 -- 00:16:13,761

l bet we find this guy

before the week's out.

217

00:
16:14,754 -- 00:16:16,024

Any bets, girls?

218

00:
16:19,671 -- 00:16:20,551

What?

219

00:
16:20,837 -- 00:16:21,637

l want to go.

220

00:
16:21,921 -- 00:16:23,191

She wants to do it.

221

00:
16:23,670 -- 00:16:25,260

You find this guy, then what?

222

00:
16:25,587 -- 00:16:27,977

l don't know. l'm not sure.

But l want to go.

223

00:
16:28,379 -- 00:16:30,739

Can't spare you. Need you here.

224

00:
16:32,337 -- 00:16:36,567

You're the one that sent me to lndia

for the column on smokestacks.

225

00:
16:37,003 -- 00:16:40,123

You sent her to Texas for 3 days,

talking to Marines.

226

00:
16:40,503 -- 00:16:41,773

That was different.

227

00:
16:42,087 -- 00:16:43,997

Why do you have to

do this personally?

228

00:
16:44,336 -- 00:16:46,376

What do you mean?

l'm intrigued, so what?

229

00:
16:46,711 -- 00:16:47,541

lntrigued?

230

00:
16:47,836 -- 00:16:49,586

What if he's covered in tattoos. . .

231

00:
16:49,920 -- 00:16:51,910

. . .and has four serious convictions?

232

00:
16:52,544 -- 00:16:53,504

Tell her.

233

00:
16:55,669 -- 00:16:57,069

l'm only afraid that. . .

234

00:
16:57,378 -- 00:16:59,418

. . .your expectations are too high.

235

00:
16:59,753 -- 00:17:01,873

l don't have any. This is research.

236

00:
17:02,502 -- 00:17:05,972

You're thinking Heathcliff.

You're thinking Hamlet.

237

00:
17:06,377 -- 00:17:08,607

This guy is probably Captain Ahab.

238

00:
17:09,252 -- 00:17:11,292

Are you saying that l can't go?

239

00:
17:14,710 -- 00:17:16,670

lt's called a risk, Charlie, right?

240

00:
17:17,002 -- 00:17:19,362

Something you've been

telling me for two years.

241

00:
17:19,710 -- 00:17:21,190

''Take a risk. ''

242

00:
17:21,502 -- 00:17:22,902

Remember when you asked

me to call. ..

243

00:
17:23,210 -- 00:17:25,850

. . .all the stationery stores

in the Outer Banks area?

244

00:
17:26,210 -- 00:17:29,200

-l've got other names for you.

-l got it.

245

00:
17:29,585 -- 00:17:31,545

What? You got what?

246

00:
17:31,876 -- 00:17:33,386

l called one in Morehead City.

247

00:
17:33,710 -- 00:17:35,990

They remembered

the little sailboat logo.

248

00:
17:36,335 -- 00:17:39,695

They said it was designed

by the customers.

249

00:
17:41,668 -- 00:17:42,628

lt's them.

250

00:
17:43,209 -- 00:17:44,279

Don't tell Charlie.

251

00:
17:44,584 -- 00:17:46,734

He'll try and make you

do this over the phone.

252

00:
17:47,084 -- 00:17:48,314

You got him, Theresa.

253

00:
17:49,001 -- 00:17:50,911

Now go knock on his door.

254

00:
19:18,956 -- 00:19:19,786

Ma'am?

255

00:
19:22,956 -- 00:19:24,356

Can l help you?

256

00:
19:26,539 -- 00:19:30,009

Sorry, l just admire these

older homes.

257

00:
19:30,414 -- 00:19:31,844

You're in real estate?

258

00:
19:33,747 -- 00:19:34,547

No.

259

00:
19:37,080 -- 00:19:39,590

Could l take

a photograph of the house. . .

260

00:
19:39,955 -- 00:19:40,835

. . .for a publication?

261

00:
19:41,122 -- 00:19:42,442

Jehovah's Witness?

262

00:
19:44,455 -- 00:19:46,765

Photograph.

Well, l never thought of that.

263

00:
19:47,997 -- 00:19:49,557

Can't say yes or no.

264

00:
19:49,955 -- 00:19:51,105

And why's that?

265

00:
19:51,413 -- 00:19:52,683

That's my son's place.

266

00:
19:54,205 -- 00:19:55,795

l live back down. . .

267

00:
19:56,121 -- 00:19:57,111

. . .thataway.

268

00:
19:57,496 -- 00:19:59,536

So you're going to have to ask him.

269

00:
19:59,871 -- 00:20:02,941

He'll be kicking around the harbor.

Garret Blake.

270

00:
20:04,079 -- 00:20:05,559

Never wears a hat.

271

00:
20:06,371 -- 00:20:08,331

Great. Thank you.

272

00:
20:09,496 -- 00:20:10,726

ls it Playboy ?

273

00:
20:12,621 -- 00:20:14,211

l always admired your covers.

274

00:
20:14,662 -- 00:20:16,412

Never bought the magazine, though.

275

00:
20:20,370 -- 00:20:22,200

Well, there's always tomorrow.

276

00:
20:53,494 -- 00:20:54,374

Great day, isn't it?

277

00:
20:54,661 -- 00:20:56,781

lt's a beauty.

Wish l was out on the water.

278

00:
20:57,119 -- 00:20:58,439

Yeah, l bet.

279

00:
21:02,161 -- 00:21:03,671

Great boat.

Are you restoring it?

280

00:
21:03,994 -- 00:21:05,584

Yeah, doing the best l can.

281

00:
21:07,869 -- 00:21:09,779

Do you restore boats for a living?

282

00:
21:10,119 -- 00:21:12,319

No, l'm just a weekend warrior.

283

00:
21:12,744 -- 00:21:15,024

You got a boat that

needs some work done?

284

00:
21:15,368 -- 00:21:16,168

Actually--

285

00:
21:16,452 -- 00:21:19,812

l got a man here in town.

He's got a shop.

286

00:
21:21,202 -- 00:21:22,792

He's working on the schooner there.

287

00:
21:23,077 -- 00:21:25,827

The 40-footer.

Sweet lines on that boat.

288

00:
21:26,201 -- 00:21:28,031

You can't beat the old woodies.

289

00:
21:28,326 -- 00:21:29,126

Great, thank you.

290

00:
21:29,410 -- 00:21:31,560

-You bet. You have a nice day.

-You too.

291

00:
21:58,867 -- 00:22:02,147

l love the older, the wooden boats.

292

00:
22:02,742 -- 00:22:06,132

lt must be a 40-footer?

A schooner, right?

293

00:
22:06,533 -- 00:22:08,013

lt's an Alden Schooner.

294

00:
22:09,075 -- 00:22:11,355

1 922, out of Maine.

295

00:
22:14,616 -- 00:22:15,446

ls she yours?

296

00:
22:17,366 -- 00:22:18,326

Nope.

297

00:
22:18,700 -- 00:22:20,820

Just putting her back in shape.

298

00:
22:22,533 -- 00:22:23,363

Sweet lines.

299

00:
22:27,866 -- 00:22:29,376

You want to step aboard?

300

00:
22:32,741 -- 00:22:35,171

There's some wet spots.

301

00:
22:47,199 -- 00:22:48,189

She's a beauty.

302

00:
22:50,365 -- 00:22:51,685

Was she in bad shape?

303

00:
22:52,448 -- 00:22:53,488

Neglected.

304

00:
22:54,073 -- 00:22:54,873

Unappreciated.

305

00:
22:56,448 -- 00:22:57,438

l know how she feels.

306

00:
22:59,198 -- 00:22:59,998

Doubt it.

307

00:
23:03,073 -- 00:23:03,873

You a tourist?

308

00:
23:04,406 -- 00:23:07,236
