The Secret Life of Walter Mitty Page #7

You should put

this in your wallet.

I don't have one.

Oh.

I found it in the trash.

I always save your knick-knacks.

Thanks.

Got it, Mom?

Got it.

Watch the stairs.

I think this works.

Heart of America. Different

generations. This says it all.

Oh, hey. Welcome.

Wait, I'm sorry, not welcome.

Not an employee.

Sorry.

There's the picture

Sean wanted. 25.

You have two days

to print for cover.

There's your quintessence.

Hey.

Do you know our motto?

"Life...

"I'm lovin' it?"

No.

That's McDonald's.

This thing that you do, Ted...

where you come into a place

and you push people out.

You should know that those

people worked really hard

to build this magazine.

They believed in the motto.

And I get it. You got

your marching orders...

and you have to do

what you have to do.

But you don't have

to be such a dick.

Put that on a plaque, and

hang it at your next job.

What was it? Sasquatch?

A unicorn?

The negative?

Yeah.

I didn't look.

You were a good boss, Walter.

Thanks, man.

Hey, Walter.

What's up?

Check this out.

See you!

Hi.

Walter Mitty. Severance package.

Hey.

Cheryl.

Hey.

Hey.

I got that email

from Rich yesterday.

He's really good.

Walter, thank you.

That was...

That was just a really

cool thing to do.

I just saw it in Iceland.

He loves it.

And I'm taking him this afternoon.

Hey, I wanted you to know...

you weren't boring me.

That day in the park.

I was...

I was thinking about...

I hope this doesn't sound weird,

but I was thinking about you.

When I was in Greenland,

they do karaoke there...

and I had to get on this helicopter,

with a very drunk pilot.

And I started to imagine you...

singing Major Tom.

Anyway...

it got me on the helicopter.

And it got me

where I wanted to go.

So, what happened to you?

You sort of fell off the

face of the Earth there.

For a little bit.

I came by and...

your husband answered so I

figured I should just go.

Phil. He was

fixing my refrigerator.

And he's not my husband.

I guess I imagined...

I thought maybe you

got back together.

You have a good imagination.

But no.

Hey, my sister got

this role in Grease.

Rizzo.

Not on Broadway.

In some weird church.

Do you want to go with me?

I made that sound really not good.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

I would love to.

Grease in a weird church?

Are you kidding?

Rizzo, that's the best part.

Yeah, Rizzo.

Tough and tender.

Yeah.

Great.

Are you heading Uptown?

Sure.

Yeah?

I actually always

related to Rizzo more.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

Was it the smoking

and the teenage sex?

No. She was just real, I guess.

Oh!

The last issue, it should be here.

It came out this morning.

Man. Walter.

Should we go buy one of those?

Yeah. I was probably gonna...

Probably gonna go back later?

Yeah.

I just didn't want to seem

uncool and get one right away.

There's a rhythm

in rush these days

Where the lines don't move

and the colors don't fade

Leaves you empty

with nothing but dreams

In a world gone shallow

In a world gone lean

Sometimes there's things

a man cannot know

The gears won't turn

and the leaves won't grow

There's no place to run

and no gasoline

Engine won't turn

And the train won't leave

Engines won't turn

And the train won't leave

I will stay with you tonight

Hold you close

'til the morning light

In the morning watch

a new day rise

We'll do whatever

just to stay alive

We'll do whatever

just to stay alive

Well, the way I feel is

the way I write

Racin' like the thoughts

of the man who lies

There is a truth and

it's on our side

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Look into the sun

as the new days rise

And I will wait

for you tonight

You're here forever

and you're by my side

I've been waiting all my life

To feel your heart

as it's keeping time

We'll do whatever

just to stay alive

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Dawn is coming

Open your eyes

Look into the sun

as the new days rise

There's a rhythm

in rush these days

Where the lines don't move

and the colors don't fade

Leaves you empty

with nothing but dreams

In a world gone shallow

In a world gone lean

But there is a truth

and it's on our side

Dawn is coming, open your eyes

Look into the sun

as a new days rise

Step outside,

I'm gonna step outside

Step outside,

I'm gonna step outside

Heart's on fire,

leave it all behind you

Dark as night,

let the lightning guide you

Step outside,

I'm gonna step outside

Heart's on fire,

leave it all behind you

Living life

Feeding appetites

Stake through every heart

stop in the mood

Being glad

Breathing half the time

Heart's on fire,

leave it all behind you

Dark as night,

let the lightning guide you

Step outside,

I'm gonna step outside

Broke to Monday

Something's not the same

Blank head

Cross tiles sweep the floor

Feel your presence

in your absence

Shut the door

Heart's on fire,

leave it all behind you

Dark as night,

let the lightning guide you

Must believe in

Step outside

Take a step outside

Take a step outside

Must believe in

Step outside

Take a step outside

Take a step outside

Heart's on fire,

leave it all behind you

You know I love my lady

We've been together so long

Like a worn-out recording

Of my favorite song

So while she lay there sleepin'

I read the paper in bed

And in the personal columns,

There was this letter

that read

If you like pia coladas

Or getting caught in the rain

And the feel of the ocean

And the taste of champagne

If you like making love

at midnight

In the dunes of the cape

Then you're the lady

that I look for

Come with me and escape
