All language subtitles for Dear John s03e20 Louise, the Hero

Man, just because this is the last
night, people out there are walking off

everything that isn't nailed down.

What happened to respect for property
around here?

Hey, Ralph, what are you doing here?

Packing up the truck so we can turn it
back in.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. I could use that for my
classroom.

I know that they've been talking about
closing down the community center

of a lack of funds.

You'd think that when they did, they'd
give us more than three days' notice.

Yeah. I feel like I'm being thrown out
on the streets. I hate that.

And don't ever let Kirk take you
backstage to meet his good buddy,

If you think we feel bad, think of how
Louise must feel.

She tried everything she could to keep
this place open.

Petitions, surveys, letters.

Oh, she even wrote to the city to try to
get the senator to declare it a

historical landmark.

After the war, the Marines tried to do
that to the backseat of my Jeep.

What happened to that landmark thing?

Well, it got us for a Truman. Mrs.
Fillmore, please.

I guess there's nothing to do now except
decide where we're going to hold our

meetings from now on. Why don't we take
turns using each other's homes?

If you want, we can hold all the
meetings at my place.

You think Molly's going to want all of
us over there every week? Hey, hey, hey.

I'm the man of the house. I make the
rules.

If you want to have the meeting at my
place every Friday night, then that's

way it's going to be, whether Molly
likes it or not.

Maybe we should change the meetings to
Thursday.

No, we gotta keep it Friday. That's
Molly's bowling night.

Greetings, fellow one -to -one club
members.

Kirk, we're gonna be meeting in each
other's houses from now on, so if we get

a bind, can we use your place?

You do have a place, don't you?

Of course I got a place, but I might be
moving to Fifth Avenue once my pants

take off.

What are you talking about?

Feast your eyes on my new line of jeans.

K -Buns!

Yeah,

go ahead and laugh.

But as soon as I get financing, you're
going to see these babies in every store

in America.

Trust me, Red. You'd be as thrilled to
get into a pair of my jeans as I would

to get into yours.

Trust me, Kirk.

You'd have a better chance of getting
into the Taj Mahal with a dead cow under

your arm.

Hey, Kirk, what do you know about
designing clothes?

You barely know how to wear them. Well,
I'll have you know that I happen to be

responsible for developing, as a favor
to a friend, the marketing strategy for

the hottest line of clothing in stores
today.

No kidding?

What line of clothing is that?

Guess.

Calvin Klein?

No, Ralph.

Guess.

Bugle boy?

No, Ralphie. The name of the line of
clothing is guess.

Forget it, Tom. You guess. I'm not in
the mood for this.

God, I'm going to miss this place.

This is where I got my life back
together again after my divorce.

Yeah, me too.

Well, here in Bloomingdale's.

What it is? Silly me!

You're on in the proverbial dumps
because the community center's closing

tonight. Well, I'll fix that.

Louise, what are you doing?

Oh, I know what you're thinking, Mary
Beth.

I swear, I do believe that poor woman
has hired one too many mid -jewel lips.

And I know what you're thinking, Kirk.

I wasn't thinking anything.

Precisely.

Louise, I don't get it. What's the...
Well, John, sometimes when things seem

darkest, they have a way of changing for
the better. Take my childhood friend

Agnes, for example. When she was 19, she
entered a beauty contest to select Miss

Chichester. Agnes was leading the
competition until the final day when

struck. The strap on her swimsuit
snapped and left her topless in front of

judges.

from the Miss Chichester contest.

So the girl in second place was declared
the winner.

Oh, the poor thing.

Not at all.

The next day, one of the judges called
Agnes and proposed to her. So you see,

everything worked out splendidly.

Agnes became a wife and I became...

You're really serious about this, aren't
you? I certainly am.

Well, I'm off to a very important
meeting with two friends of mine who

power, the resources, and the will to
save these hallowed halls.

Ralph, would you be a dear and help me
get a taxi? Perhaps if the driver sees

your badge, he'll think you're a
policeman and stop.

Impressionate a cop?

All right, Louise, I just hope I can
pull it off.

is a lot of money. Who are these people?
I'll explain everything later when we

meet at Clancy's. Now, put on your party
hats and put those coffee cups back

where they belong because the one -to
-one club will be meeting at the

center for years.

I admire women who take charge.

You admire women who take cash.

Excuse me.

Hello. Yeah. My name is Florence Kellum.
Is Louise here? Oh, you just missed

her. Yeah. Oh, darn. I just stopped by
to give Louise my phone number so we can

keep in touch. Now that the center's
closing, could you give this to her for

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

I love Louise. She was so helpful to me
when we were in Meadowbrook together.

Meadowbrook? Meadowbrook.

Isn't that that psychiatric hospital
that they advertise on TV?

Yeah. I'm sure she's told you all about
it. About what?

Uh -oh.

Forget what I just said.

Forget you ever saw me. I was never
here.

Did I hear right?

Did she say that Louise was in a mental
hospital?

Well, it was nothing serious. Louise
just had a little problem.

How do you know?

rest of us.

Well, Louise and I are very close.

Louise and I are close, too.

Mary Beth, she let me see her without
makeup.

Say no more.

How do you like that? Our group leader
was a foot soldier in the Lone Plateau.

Oh, shut up, Kirk. You know, besides,
it's none of your business.

Yeah, I think it is our business.

I mean, Louise is our friend, too.

Now, tell me exactly what happened.

Tell us all.

Well, okay. It was right after her
marriage broke up.

Her husband left her and Louise had a
hard time coping with it. Poor thing.

She must have been really down.

Oh, no. Just the opposite.

She was up. She became manic.

She felt like she could accomplish
anything. She was this ball of... In

words, just like the Louise we saw five
minutes ago.

Oh, no, no, this was different.

She was way over the edge. She had this
big plan to save her marriage.

She went to the British embassy to get
help from her best friend, the Queen of

England. The Queen of England?

And when the embassy refused to let
Louise in, she had to admit it was all a

delusion.

So she crashed, went into this deep
depression, and that's when she checked

herself into Meadowbrook.

I wonder if this could be happening
again.

Oh, come on. Oh, think about it.

She lost her husband, so she went to get
help from her best friend, the Queen of

England. Now she's losing the community
center, so she's going to get help from

mysterious millionaires.

Sounds like all Louise is on the road to
another Meadowbrook moment.

Oh, will you people stop it?

Now, what happened to Louise happened a
long time ago.

She doesn't have delusions anymore. If
Louise says...

She's getting a half a million dollars
from some friends. I believe her.

Hey, everybody, guess what?

Louise told me who those people are who
are going to give her the money.

Who?

Her good friends, Mishka the munchkin
and Natasha the tattooed lady.

Munchkins, tattooed ladies.

Maybe we should go and look for Louise.

We don't even know where she went.

I can't believe she's going through this
again.

I'm going to go call her house and see
if her babysitter's heard from her.

Maybe you people are surprised about
Louise, but not me.

Personally, I always suspected her
clutch was slipping.

Although,

come to think of it, there was that time
when she came in looking like Little

Red Riding Hood.

Cruz, what normal person would have a
hairdo like that?

Yeah, what about that night she went
totally berserk on me for no good

Kirk, ever since you've come to this
group, you've been a constant source of

discontent and disruption.

You're an offensive, self -centered, pig
-headed bore from the top of your head

down to the tips of your ugly shoes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa.

Nobody, but nobody, talks that way about
my

shoes.

I still have nightmares about that
night.

Yeah, well, you're not the only one that
she flipped out on. What about that

time she got all bent out of shape?

Just because I lost your baby.

someone can be going to pieces right in
front of you and you never even notice.

Yeah.

Oh, well, her babysitter hasn't heard
from her. Yeah, well, relax, relax,

relax, Kate.

We just have to think positive thoughts.

John's right.

I just hope on the way to meet the
tattooed lady in the munchkin, she

get mugged by the tin man.

Oh, he just called from his plane. He's
so sorry, but he got delayed.

Oh, dear.

But he said not to worry. He has you
checked with him. Just let me know where

you will be tonight, and he will bring
it to you.

God bless both of you. Half a million
times over, you were my last hope.

Thank you, Louise.

And it's the least we can do. You
brought us into the community center.

And if it weren't for the English
courses Mishka took, my little munchkin

never have become this success he is
today. And we'd still be struggling with

this filthy, stinking circus.

Do you have time for some tea?

Oh, a spot would be delightful. I can't
get over how good you look.

Oh, well, can I keep a secret?

I just had my flags lifted.

I can't make it to the party.

Party? What party?

Didn't you hear?

Louise is getting the guy to donate a
cool half a million to save this place.

a bunch of people from the center are
going to go over to Clancy's bar, have a

couple drinks, and watch Louise present
the check to Councilman Riley.

Wait a minute.

How is she going to get Councilman Riley
to come down to Clancy's?

That's easy.

The hard part is getting that sucker to
leave.

Oh, no.

Now she's inviting city officials.

We'd better go to Clancy. She's going to
need us. Yeah.

We'd better hurry.

Right now, Louise could be giving no
meaning to the term happy hour.

Will you call me later and tell me what
happens?

Miss Philbert, you can't come with us?

Well, it's getting kind of late.

I'm just going to take my hat and my
noise maker and go home.

Okay, big guy, let's go.

coming, especially you, Councilman
Riley.

So just enjoy yourselves, because any
moment now, Mishka will be here with a

check for $500 ,000!

I could be wrong, but I think we just
might be a little too late.

Looks like it's time for plan B.

Plan B? What's plan B? Simple.

You go over there and grab Louise while
I created the version by grabbing that

blonde over there.

Since we have a little time, why don't I
tell you a little bit about our two

benefactors? Mishka the Munchkin and
Natasha the Tattooed Lady came

to New York as members of the Moscow
Circus. John, do something.

They fell in love with America and
decided to defect.

riding in a bear costume.

Fortunately, they'd thought ahead, and
Natasha had a map of the New York subway

system tattooed on her inner thigh.

Will you excuse us? That was beautiful,
wasn't it?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I was in the middle of a very moving
story.

Yes, I know.

I always say, keep them wanting more.

Louise, I really think we should go.

Kate, you can go home if you want to.
I'm not leaving till Mishka gets here

the check.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll just
powder my nose.

I'll go with her. Yeah, good idea. Oh,
John, would you keep an eye out for

Mishka? You'll know him when you see
him. He's only about this tall.

This tall? Right, yes, got it.

Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Excuse me, can I have your attention,
please? Can I have your attention?

I'd like to make an announcement.

Please.

Yo, people, put a pretzel in it.

I just received some bad news.

It seems that despite Louise Mercer's
courageous efforts, the gentleman who

going to donate the money has changed
his mind.

So, uh, yeah, regretfully, I have to
suggest that you go back to the center

pack up your things before they put a
lock on the door.

Okay, I'm sorry, but, uh, yeah, thanks.

Yeah, bye.

Hey,

uh, shouldn't y 'all be going, too? Your
group might need your help.

Group? We're fraternity. Oh, well,
didn't you know?

It's free beer night down at Tintori's.

Whoa!

Yes!

until you meet me.

Where is everybody?

Why did everybody leave?

Well, they left because... Well, they're
all gone because I had to tell them the

truth, Louise.

What truth?

The truth, Louise.

No one is going to save the community
center.

Well, that's ridiculous. I've got to get
to the town.

It's okay, Louise. I really think we
should take you home.

I can't go home. Oh, don't worry.

We'll take turns staying with you.

the clock. Do you feel better?

Absolutely. What are you talking about?

We know about the time you spent at
Meadowbrook.

Oh.

Well, your friend Florence Kellum
stopped by after you left.

And I told him the rest.

Yeah. We know all about the Queen of
England.

And Miska the Munchkin.

Not to mention his tattooed ball and
chain.

all think I'm having some sort of manic
delusion. Well, some friends you are.

That's why I never told you about my
stay in Meadowbrook. You think just

I had an emotional problem and spent a
short time in a psychiatric hospital

I'm crazy?

That pretty much sums it up.

It does, does it? Well, I'll tell you
something.

Calm,

calm, calm, calm yourself.

We all care about you, Louise.

You're just going to have to face...
Look, look, Louise.

For your own good, you're going to have
to face reality.

Louise, please.

Look, Louise, please, please,
understand.

There is no millionaire munchkin. John?

Please, let me finish, let me finish.

Louise, look, you're just going to have
to deal with this, Louise.

In the past two and a half years...

The one -to -one club, thanks to you,
has made a very big difference in each

every one of our lives. It can continue
to make a difference.

Or maybe we'll have to get together in
each other's homes once in a while. Or

maybe we'll find another place to hold
our meetings.

You understand?

Please, Kirk, please.

It's time to leave Oz and come back to
Kansas. Because no matter how hard you

wish or how many times you click your
heels together, there's just no way a

munchkin's going to walk in here and
hand you a check for half a million

dollars.

Kirk, will you please?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were
somebody else.

Hey,

Louise.

Hello, mister.

Here is your check.

Thank you. My pleasure, dear.

Well, John?

Well, Louise?

You know what they say.

There's no place like home.
