and it will bring you

cool rain."

So, have no expectations, my friends!

It works gangbusters!

Good morning, sweetie.

Breakfast is coming up.

Well... you seem

a little tired out.

So...

whenever you're ready.

Where's my baby?

Pretty little baby

Here's my baby,

pulling up here now

My friend Jack

is on the make

Yes, he stole

my last two dates

Gotta leave this town

Gotta leave this town

Gotta leave town

and move to someplace new.

Here you go.

I made them Florentine.

The garnish is fake, though.

Oops, sorry.

So, we...

had some drinks last night.

Yes.

And we...

had a good time.

I've never felt closer

to anyone.

That's good. I just...

still feel

a little sick is all.

Well, you've been

through a lot.

Okay...

you go back to bed

and I'll clean up here.

And later, we can go into town

and you can pick some stuff up.

Okay.

Hii...

Hii... ya...

Hii... ya...

Don't you have anything

kind of modern?

This is a Chetabi

love ritual.

The second hour

really picks up.

( radio static )

- ( soft music playing )

- This isn't bad.

- It's flapping.

- It's not flapping.

I can feel it

flapping in the wind.

We can't hold it.

We should have tied it down better.

- Don't worry. It's fine.

- It's not fine!

What's wrong with you?

We can get another table.

No, Alan.

I still feel sort of...

peaked.

But we drank

three nights ago, sweetie.

I know.

That's how it gets me.

The thing is, Sarah,

since you feel

that God is behind this,

that I would think you'd feel

sort of a responsibility

in a biblical way to...

propagate the Earth.

Come on, Alan.

What? We're going to have a child?

Who will they have children with?

Another one of ours?

Start a whole race

of imbeciles.

Yeah, if you're going

to logic it out.

Don't be mad.

Hi.

Something's not right

with Sarah.

I'm not expecting anything.

But still, everything was going fine

on days four and five.

But by day seven,

she started in

with these moods.

She's not as...

open as she was.

I mean, everything

started off great.

But I feel almost

like there's this--

this... thistle traps...

are what the Chetabi

used to capture the rodents,

thus keeping them fresh...

for the big evening roast.

Well, that about covers

the traps...

and the big roast.

We'll talk about

after-dinner dancing later.

Morning.

Morning.

How are you feeling?

Listen, there's something

I want to do.

I'd like to use

the camera for a while.

I think

it'll make things better.

Sure.

I'll film anything you want.

No, this is private.

I'd like to film by myself.

Oh.

Okay.

Hi.

I'm Sarah.

We've already met,

but not really.

I wanted to talk to you

a little bit

about the way

you handle things in life.

Alan, please!

What I wanted

was to warn you...

about people like me.

You believe

You can do

Nothing to save yourseIf

You've got demons,

you need him

And you're afraid

to trust yourself.

- Hey.

- Morning.

Powdered eggs Benedict.

That's absolutely delicious!

What do you say

we take a little ride?

Sure.

I've got this great idea!

Cool!

What?

We'll go find

other people!

Wait! Sarah!

We both know what the story

is out there.

You drove halfway

across the country!

I found you.

There's got to be others.

- But--

- We owe it to them.

But, what about--

Last night, we--

I don't want you

to get disappointed.

What?!

What is really going on,

Sarah?

And don't tell me

it's last week's tequila shots,

because that's wearing

a little thin. What is wrong?

- Nothing.

- Bull!

You've been acting

strange for days.

Well, maybe

I am strange, Alan.

Who do you think I am, huh?

You think I'm just some good-looking

girl from across the bar?

Or some Penthouse fantasy

you just lucked into?

What the hell

are you talking about?!

I don't know.

I'm scared.

Which is it, that I don't know you,

or that you're scared?

Maybe it's your big underwear.

It was a joke.

Alan. I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Please, give me some time.

I just need

to think about things.

We'll leave after lunch.

Look, Sarah.

I knew this would happen.

I'm sorry.

We just have to accept that--

that we only have each other.

But that's okay.

We'll be fine.

Don't ever leave me.

Alan:
Well, Sarah and I

finally started settling in.

I guess things don't always flow

exactly the way you plan,

which is why you shouldn't plan.

But it's very clear that

she's attracted underneath.

So if she needs some time

to tap into her feelings for me,

that's fine.

As the Chetabi say,

"If you want to fence in a goat,

give it plenty of grazing land."

Still...

I'm not sure why I have

to sleep out here for now.

The whole thing

is very confusing.

What is it she needs

to figure out?

Sure, I've got my problems...

I sweat a lot, can't deny it;

love handles, yeah,

I've got those;

but...

I am the last guy

on Earth, okay?

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love

It's the only thing

That there's just

too little of

What the world needs now

Is love, sweet love.

Alan:

Know thatjust the sound--

Oh my God! Stop! Stop! !

Man:
Hey...

thanks for stopping.

Hi.

Yeah,

I'm glad you guys stopped.

I wasn't getting any rides.

My name's Raphael.

Rides?

He doesn't know.

A nerve agent?

Sarah:
No.

It was something bigger.

It was God,

I think, starting over.

How come I survived?

I don't know.

- Are you allergic to ragweed?

- No.

Do you take zinc?

Yeah.

There's a reason

for everything.

Jesus.

My mom...

and my brother Todd...

we had this whole plan

to build our own putt-putt

goIf course out in Oregon.

I was on my way there.

I never got

to meet Roy Orbison.

He...

actually died before all this.

What?

- Are you all right?

- I guess.

Maybe I just need

a minute alone,

- as retarded as that sounds.

- It's okay.

I'm okay.

Jeez, that's pretty good.

It'll be like camping forever.

Well, that's true.

That's one way

of looking at it.

Will you stay with us?

I will never leave.

Alan:

There's been a new development.

We discovered a third person.

His name is Raphael.

We saw him hitchhiking

and immediately stopped.

Shockingly, he didn't know

what had happened.

He was a little shy

of the casualties at first,

but quickly nicknamed

them "grippers."

He seems eager to make

the best of things,

although I admit

I have some concerns.

without getting frustrated--

not that it could be challenged

at this point.

But he seems like a good guy.

I don't expect any surprises.

Still, on the way home,

he was telling these endless stories

from when he was camping,

like how he set his own broken

wrist with wet bark.

Sarah tried hard to be patient,

and he could take that

as something else.

But I'm not worried.

It'll be good having someone new

around to show the ropes.

( Raphael sings Reveille )

Raphael:
It's wake up time.

Hey...

breakfast is burning.

Let's go.

Sarah:
Good morning.

Man, flapjacks.

Did you know

who they're named after?

- Jack Dempsey.

- Really?

I thought it was before then,
