The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Page #3

I was saying...

we need to beef your profile up,

make it, you know, not blank.

Real quick, let's build your

"Been There, Done Thats. "

Okay. Been there...

Um...

Phoenix.

I forgot why.

Then Nashville...

but that was just

the airport on the way

to Phoenix, so I don't

know if that...

Uh-huh...

Hey, man, I was thinking,

if you work with this girl...

why don't you just

humanly invite her out?

No, no, no, I'm trying to do like

a "Pia Colada Song" thing.

"Pia Colada Song"?

Yeah, you know, a guy posts

an ad, looking for a lover...

and then his wife answers it...

and it turns out they were soul

mates and didn't even know it...

and they end up making love

in capes, or on a cape.

It's a song? Can you

sing a little bit?

If you like pia

coladas, getting caught in the rain

You know that song?

I have to go.

Is that Hall & Oates?

Hey!

Hey.

Is that another clue?

Yeah. This one's okay.

Yeah?

There's a boat there, I think.

"Erkig... "

Snek.

Erkigsnek?

Yeah.

Sounds like a real clue.

Yeah, it's the boat's name.

Have you Googled it?

I was on my way to.

Yeah. N-U.

It's the first two letters

of the port city.

Buffering.

So, the park...

I got to run up there

and pick up my son.

He's skateboarding with a friend.

Do you want to walk up with me?

Starting now?

Yeah, starting now.

Okay.

Yeah, we got to figure this out.

It's a big deal.

You lost a Sean O'Connell.

I used to work at Nabisco.

And then, I had a change...

and I decided to apply to LIFE.

Thought it would be more

colorful, less regular, I guess.

You know, I just like

the idea of it.

I like the motto of the company.

Do you know it?

"To see the world...

"Things dangerous to come to...

"To see behind walls. "

Yeah, I...

I got this, from Sean.

He gave this to you?

Yeah.

I like that,

"TO DRAW CLOSER."

So, what's he like in person?

Sean?

Yeah.

Well, I haven't actually met him.

I mean, we talk a lot, but...

I've been his point guy here

ever since I started.

How long ago was that?

16 years.

16 years?

Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Well, you have

nothing to worry about.

With the layoffs, I mean.

I've been here for a month.

"Last in, first out," right?

Oh. Sorry.

It's Rich's dad.

It's your...

Former. Newly former.

But we've been sort of...

I don't know.

I don't need to get it.

So, what kind of skateboard

does your son have?

Um, I have no idea!

It's oblong. I don't know.

Why?

No, I just...

I used to... I was kind

of into the scene.

The skateboard scene?

Yeah.

Wow!

Hi, Peg.

Yeah, it's Sean O'Connell, we

actually need to find him.

Yes. If you could hurry.

Kickflip.

Yeah.

It's a good one

for the repertoire.

I'm Walter.

Rich.

Yeah, we think he might know

something or have an asset we need.

You know, you just got to get

a little more snap...

get that thing up there.

Want me to show you something?

Sure.

Here.

I like your trucks.

Thanks.

Now check this out.

Know about the flick?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, we've finished processing

his April work order.

Yes, it's kind of important.

Did you forward the job 1090s?

Or his last salary?

Wow!

Wow!

Here you go.

That was awesome.

So it could be either place.

Thanks, Walter.

Okay. Thanks, Peg.

All right.

Hey, so...

Sean's definitely not in New York.

Peg said she sent multiples.

I don't know if you know

how it works with him.

She sends copies because we

never know where he's gonna be.

And this week she sent 1090s

to Princeton, New Jersey.

Oh, great.

Train ride.

And one to Greenland.

Just in case.

Greenland, the country?

That's...

You can't take a train there.

No.

Well, maybe he's in Jersey.

Yeah.

Yeah, is your phone done

buffering with that ship's name?

Yes! Look.

Here it is.

Nuuk, Greenland.

Yeah!

Come on, that's a good lead!

You should follow that up.

Yeah, follow it up in Greenland.

Yeah. Why not? Go!

Crack the case.

Listen to your wallet.

Sorry, it's my... it's Phil again.

Maybe he fell down a well or something.

Maybe I should get it.

Hey, buddy! Here!

Rich, Rich! Not so fast! Here!

Take that.

Yeah. I understand.

Okay. Bye.

He did fall down a well.

But I don't care.

I just want to be

with you, you know?

Really?

Let's run away together. Let's make

every moment count, starting now.

Sweet!

Can I tell you something?

Anything.

I have that

Benjamin Buttons thing.

Where you get old, but smaller.

Or whatever, and become a

gradual old baby. Or something.

I didn't see the movie, so I

don't really know how it works.

But I have it.

We can still

build a life together.

Cool.

I like your snappy little suit.

I bought it at a doll store.

Oh. Cool.

My little heart is no

bigger than a quarter...

but it's as full as Fort Knox.

You're the bravest

man I've ever known.

I love you, baby.

Not like "baby," like...

because you look like a

little weird baby-man.

I get it.

Thank you for such

a wonderful life.

Just nestle in here and die.

Good-bye, Walter.

Good-bye! Walter!

Walter!

Walter!

Bye!

Oh!

Sorry! I was just...

Where do you go?

I started thinking about...

No, it's okay, I was probably boring

you about my broken refrigerator.

No!

Rich!

My son's running into

the street. I have to go.

Yeah.

I wanted to tell you,

that song, "Major Tom"?

Back there, when

the beard guy was...

He doesn't know what

he's talking about.

That song is about courage

and going into the unknown.

It's a cool song.

Rich!

Yo!

Where's my thing?

It's in a silver bath.

I don't even know what language

you're speaking right now.

You know, you got

to take me seriously.

I got a magazine to execute here.

And bosses to answer to.

So next time I see you,

I see that picture. Okay?

Hey! Dream Machine!

Hello?

I want proof you heard me.

Next time I see you...

You see the picture.

That's right!

Any luck, Hernando?

I turned the place

upside-down. 25 is not here.

I searched Receiving, too, man.

This never happens!

I'm telling you...

it's nowhere, Walter.

I mean, maybe he

didn't even send it.

Maybe it's still on him.

Walter?

Walter!

Something filled up

My heart with nothing

Someone told me not to cry

Now that I'm older

My heart's colder

And I can see that it's a lie

Hi.

Hi.

Do you have any cars available?

Yeah, we have a blue one

and a red one.

I'll take the red one.

You were working

as a waitress In a cocktail bar

When I met you

I picked you out, I shook you up

And turned you around

Turned you into someone new

Hi.

Hi.

Can I ask you, could

someone receive mail here?

An American? Sean O'Connell?

I think he might have received

mail at this address.

You want a drink?

Okay. Yeah, I guess...

a small beer shoe.

So, could somebody get mail here?

Heli mail.

"Heli mail"?

We helicopter mail to the

ships when they pass by.

We are pub and helipad.

Yeah. Wait, the Erkigsnek?

Yeah. Erkigsnek.

Erkigsnek.

We flew mail to her Tuesday.

I'm gonna take it

down a little, here.

I just want to

speak from the heart.
