The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Page #5

Hey, Todd.

I can't really talk right now.

I'm on my way to a volcano.

What the...?

Hey.

Hi. Hey.

Do you guys speak English?

I'm looking for Eldgos Street.

Eldgos?

Is that a street?

Is this Eyjafjallakuta?

Something like that?

I don't think this guy

knows what eldgos is.

It's a long board.

Yeah.

What is that?

Is that Thor, or...

Odin?

A Norse god?

He's cool.

Hey.

Would you maybe

want to make a trade?

I know a kid who

would love that board.

It's cool. Look,

he stretches.

Here, come here and check it out.

Yeah. He's fun.

Yeah, it's lots of stretching fun.

Oh, man. We can tie

that around your sister...

Want to do it?

Yeah?

Great. Great.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hello?

Hi.

Hi.

Do you speak English?

The hotel is closed.

Okay, yeah.

I'm trying to find this guy.

This man, Sean O'Connell.

I think that he possibly

might have stayed here.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got a plane for him.

At 1:
00.

Fifteen minutes.

He's at airfield in StykkishImur.

In the valley.

Next town south.

Where is it?

StykkishImur.

"Tickishoumer"?

Yeah.

No, no!

Is it straight down that way?

Thank you!

It's all right, I know him!

Step in front of a runaway train

Just to feel alive again

Pushing forward through the night

Aching chest and blurry sight

It's so far, so far away

It's so far, so far away

Hello. Hello.

Come on, come on. Eldgos!

What's going on?

Where is everybody?

Eldgos.

Eldgos!

Eldgos. Eldgos.

What does that mean?

Eretion.

Erertion?

Erection!

"Erection"?

Yes. No!

Eruption!

Eruption!

Yes.

Sean.

Faster! Go faster!

Holy sh*t! Faster!

Oh, my God!

Thanks for coming back for me.

I really appreciate it.

I hope you find your man.

Thanks.

Yeah.

There's a motel

near the pizza place there.

Good luck.

Photographic Accounts.

Cheryl.

This is Cheryl Melhoff.

Hey, it's Walter Mitty.

Hey. I'd walked

down to say hi to you

about an hour ago,

and you weren't there.

That's because, guess what.

I'm in Iceland.

Iceland?

Wait, wasn't it Greenland?

Yeah. Yeah, it was.

You know that they're

not the same place.

No, no, no. I went to

Greenland and then...

I got on a fishing vessel tracking

Sean and ended up here in Iceland.

You're in Iceland.

Yeah. At a Papa John's.

Hey, I got more clues.

What did you find?

There's a date that Sean wrote.

And some words on a cake wrapper.

"Rajqawee," "Buzkashi"...

and "Warlocks. "

Wait. They have a Papa

John's in Iceland?

Yeah. I just had to...

I just left.

Did you get kicked out?

No, I just needed to leave.

Just the atmosphere.

And the cups.

Hey, I was right on Sean's trail.

Then I lost him.

"Strong little man. "

Thanks.

No. "Rajqawee" means

"strong little man"...

in, like, 40 Arabic countries.

And "Buzkashi" is

"goat hockey"...

in Central Asia.

And "Warlocks"...

Yeah.

I was hoping they would connect.

So, you said that you left Papa

John's because of the cups?

Is there something I should

be aware of as a customer?

No, I just worked there,

that's all.

I used to have a mohawk...

and a backpack...

and this idea of who I wanted

to be and what I wanted to do.

Yeah?

Nothing. Just...

I was pretty close with my dad.

And he died when I

was 17, on a Tuesday.

And we didn't have any savings.

So I got a haircut

that Thursday...

and a job the same Thursday.

Papa John's?

Yeah.

Your dad let you have a mohawk?

He shaved my head.

That's a good dad move.

Yeah.

Is it nice there?

Yeah, it is.

It's really beautiful.

Well, it's pretty sucky here.

Human Resources

has already started

letting some of the staff go...

so it'll be a lot different

when you get back.

Hey, I picked something up for...

I think I lost you.

You know what? I'll catch

you up when I see you.

Great. Okay.

All right. Okay.

Bye, Walter.

Bye, Cheryl.

What's going on?

They shut down two floors.

Why do you look rugged?

I see you.

I see you!

What did I say?

I see you.

The photograph.

Now. Let me see it.

He looked it up. There's no

such thing as a silver bath.

Listen, there was uncertainty

about the negative.

I understood that, hopefully,

it was in Iceland.

It was in your care.

If you just give

me some more time...

You're fired.

We'll make another cover.

Hey!

More than a million, way more,

negatives have come through my office.

I have never mislaid one.

Put it on a plaque.

Hang it at your next job.

Now I got to explain

this to the board?

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

That's cool.

It's a skateboard.

It's for Cheryl's son.

Cheryl's not in.

She was let go.

I told you, man, it's bad.

Hey! That's my fern.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I...?

Yeah.

I'm looking for Cheryl Melhoff.

You want Cheryl?

Yeah. She's...

We work together, and she was

helping me with a work thing.

Cheryl.

Honey?

There's some guy here.

What?

From work.

Okay, hold on.

I'm on the phone.

It's Conan.

Tonight, First Lady Michelle

Obama, Walter Mitty.

Can we talk about your love life?

I think people

would be interested.

You don't want to know

about my love life.

I think they do.

Yeah, I think they do. Now, I

don't believe everything I read.

There's a scandal?

A little scandal?

A little scandal, yes.

She was back with her

husband, or something.

Then she fell for you?

Where there's smoke,

there's fire.

You're awesome, Walter.

Thanks.

Sure.

Can you turn this off?

It stays on.

I'm just going to get out.

Hey, Mom.

Hi, honey.

Walter, you got to tip these guys.

We got the piano back safe, Mom.

Are you back from your work trip?

Yeah, this morning.

Hungry?

Mmm-hmm.

I'm making soup.

Thanks.

Hey, tipping time now.

This is all I got.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

All right, thanks, everybody.

For all your hard work.

We appreciate it, ma'am.

You did great.

You just let yourself out.

He's good for this.

Are you gonna stay for dinner?

Oh, Mom, I'd love to.

I think I'm just really wiped out

after supervising moving

that thing all day.

I think I just need to go to

yoga and then just crash.

What is it? A class?

Yes, yoga.

It's a class. I go to the hot

kind, where they heat the room.

Have you heard of that?

Sure.

You have?

It's great for you.

You just get it all

out of your system.

You get your sweat out, you just

get everything, all your fear.

I'm waiting on a call

about an audition.

That Grease show?

Yeah.

Rizzo?

Yeah. I'm really excited about it.

What's good about this is that

I just don't worry about it.

I just get out of my head.

Is that good for you?

I feel like it's good

in a class like this.

I mean, I'm not going to get

paid for it, which is fine.

It's not about money.

Wonderful.

And I feel like...

It's just for kids, but I think it's

important for them to start early.

I'm really thrilled, Mom.

I think I'm just

going to enjoy it.

Just standing in front

of people and talking.

You'll be good at that.

Yeah.

You'll really be good at that.

I think so, too, Mom.

Hey. Mom?

Yeah.
