- I'm stuck.

Can someone help me with this line please?

Can someone help me with my line?

Mom, I snagged my line.

- I can't help you,
Bridge, I'm tying this fly.

Sam!

- Come on, Mom, take the plunge.

Come on, you're not gonna melt.

- Now, you heard the boy.

Get in this water right now.

Whoa, hey, there we go.

- Nice one, Dad.
- That's a big one.

- Yeah, it's a good size.

- Sam!

- Gotcha!

Oh, take that, take that.

- Sam!
- Oh, you are so dead.

- Well, I think I just caught us dinner.

- Not the way Sam eats.

- Want me to catch a bear?

- I actually think he prefers moose.

- Ah, well, Sam is a moose.

- You really do
look like a moose, Sam.

- At least I don't
look like an elephant.

Got ya.

- Okay, guys, let's get packed up.

- I would I could get my line out.

Will someone help me with this please?

- Bridge, you take
care of that mess downstairs?

- Yeah, well, I will if you buy a new suit

for my sweet 16 party.

- Wait a minute, I never heard about this.

What's wrong with my old suit?

- According to style, like last century.

Mom, please make him buy a new suit.

- I've never been able to
make your father do anything.

- I never heard about this.

When did this, wait...

Wanna cook?

- Dad.
- Come on, Bridge.

- Seriously.

- Fine, you want me to buy a
new suit, I'll buy a new suit.

- Thank you.
- Yes.

- Hello!
- Hey, there they are.

- Oh, Burt, Ellen, hi.
- Susannah!

So you were the surprise.

Wonderful.
- We haven't seen you

in front of that grill for years.

- We haven't seen that grill for years.

- Yeah, well Jess seems
to think a seasoned grill

means never cleaning it.

- Good to see you.
- Good to see you too.

- Do you guys know what a buffalo says

to his son on the way to school?

- Not this one again.
- No.

- What does a buffalo-
- Bye, son.

- Who taught you that one?
- It took me a second.

- It did, it took me a second too.

- It's better than you.
- That was a good one.

- Well, I for one have had
a wonderful time today,

but it's time we headed back home.

- Mom, we don't have
to go back yet, do we?

- Yeah, honey, we do.

- Mom, come on, it's summer vacation.

- I can't miss the after
theater dinner crowd

and I don't want your
father to make two trips.

- No, no, I don't mind.

I can take 'em back Monday night.

- Please, Mom.
- Oh, come on.

- Okay.

- Actually, Derek is due in Monday night

and I have to go to town
anyway, so I can haul 'em.

- Is that one
of your 10,000 grandkids?

- Yeah, from Los Angeles.

Jane's going through
a pretty nasty divorce

and they thought he'd have a
better summer up here with us.

- So, just what kinda
after theater dinner crowd

is there in Anchorage anyway?

- Well, not that you ever noticed,

but there is some culture
to be gleaned in the city.

- Yes, a lot more than there is

to be gleaned out here
in the sticks I guess.

I mean, not that I ever
got tired of this, but-

- Guys, come on.

It was such a good day.

- Sorry, hun.

- Come on, Suze, I'll take you back.

- See you guys
again sometime, okay?

- Soon.

- Bye, sweetie.
- Bye.

- Bye, bye, bye, bye.
- Bye, Mom.

- Bye.

Well, if any of us thought
that they might be getting

back together, I think
today pretty much killed it.

- Well, thanks for
roughing it for the day.

- It's
secure, you're all good.

- I guess we won't be
doing that again anytime soon.

- I don't know what makes you think I ever

had anything against the wilderness.

I used to love it up there.

- Couldn't seem to get away fast enough.

- Yeah, 15 years is a real clean getaway.

- Well, I guess that wasn't
even the thing you trying-

- Jesse, can we not do this right now?

- Okay, fine.
- We already know this

argument by heart.
- Yeah, sure do.

- Oh, thank God you're here.

- What?
- Okay, the salmon's

not fresh, Andrew
dropped a case of Merlot,

and the mayor just popped
by with a party of 12.

He had to wait half an hour.

- Oh, well, find a bottle
of Merlot that didn't break,

and send it over to his
table with my compliments.

And why on earth do we
bother living in Alaska

if we can't get fresh salmon?

- I don't know.

- Hey.
- Oh, hey.

How was family day in the sticks?

- It was great, until Jesse
started pushing my buttons.

- How is Gary Cooper anyway?

- Jesse is fine and his cowboy charm

wore off a long time ago.

- Yeah, but not his
good looks though, huh?

- Yeah, he's attractive,
I'll give you that,

but you try staying home through

one too many week long fishing trips and-

- And then you come up and you
go to bed with Gary Cooper.

Look, I don't see the problem.

- That's good.
- I know.

- Try putting up with it for 15 years.

I mean, he'd be working so
hard to pay off the house,

and then I'd be home with three kids,

alone in the middle of nowhere.

- Yeah, well, at least you
had the kids to talk to.

I mean, Rich used to
go off on an oil tanker

for six months at a time, you know?

Well, it's been great.

I mean, if I hadn't
have broken up with him,

I never would have gone to cooking school,

I never would have met
you and got this job,

and well, a real life, you know?

- Yeah, yeah, I'll take
shaky financial independence

over good companionship
and regular sex anyway.

- It wasn't that regular.

- It's Dad.

He brought nerds.
- Great.

- Hannah, go tell Burt and
Ellen that Derek came in early.

All right?

So, this is my house.

It's nothing fancy, but you
guys didn't come to sit inside.

Hey, you.

- Derek.

Derek, come on and sit down, son.

Teach you how to tie a fly.

You haven't said a word
since you've been here.

How's your mom doing?

- You talk to her on the
phone every week don't you?

- Yes, but you see her everyday.

And it's hard for me to
know if she's been crying

when I'm talking to her on the phone.

- Well, then, to answer your questions,

no, she isn't doing very well,

and yes, she cries all the time.

- He was just asking.

You don't have to be such a jerk.

- Since I'm here against my will,

I think I can be a jerk
for at least a few days.

- Well, at least there's an end in sight.

- Well, the guys'll be ready in a minute.

They're on a video conference.

Hey, let's get packed up.

Come on, it's time to go.
- I found it.

- Ah, thanks.

See ya.
- See ya.

- Have fun, guys.

- Ellen, how come no women ever wanna stay

at the Wilderness Ranch?

- Women are smart enough
to go to the Bahamas.

- You know, 'cause I've been thinking

if mom and dad are really
over, I think it's time we have

to start thinking about the future.

I mean, dad needs a woman.

He never goes into the city

and they certainly never come out here.

- And what makes you
think your dad needs a woman?

- 'Cause he's lonely.

- Hannah's right.

Dad's a good looking guy,
he's probably got needs.

- Oh, Lord.

- How about a set up.

Don't you have a cousin in Juno?

- Well, yeah, but she's 58 years old.

- Oh.

- You know, by the off chance

that you're serious about this,

what about something like this?

- "Alaska Love," what is that?

- Oh, you are bad.

- Well, I only
buy it for the crosswords.

- Oh, sure, millions of men buy Playboy

just to read the articles.

That was a hunting and fishing journal,

and a couple of years ago
somebody started a personal column

and it took over the whole magazine.

- What kinda personals?

- Oh, yeah, love connections.

There's a lotta lonely men in Alaska,

and a lotta women looking to meet 'em.

- Really?
- Sure.

How do you think I met Ellen?

Mail order bride right there.

- Oh, stop that.

- I still go the box she came in.

Marked "fragile, handle with care."

- He's kidding.

So, what do you think?

Divine inspiration?

- I got one.

I got one.

I got one!

- Yeah, yeah, good, good, good.

All right, good, good.

No, easy now, easy, easy, easy, easy.

That's it, pull her in.

All right, up.

Too small.

Hey, hey.

All right, you.

Lights out.

- Do you ever get lonely, Dad?

- Oh, sweetie, I don't
have time to get lonely.

- Don't you miss mom?

- Uh...

It's a little tough seeing
her like that yesterday.

Brought back some good memories.

- Like when you first brought her up here?

- Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, I'd come up here to work
one summer during college,

and I just fell in love with Alaska.

- You wanted to build a ranch,

but grandpa wanted you to work for him.

- He sure did.

Yeah, at that point, real
estate sounded as good

as anything else I guess.

- But Momma knew you'd hate it,
so she didn't let you do it.

- That's exactly right.

She knew I'd go crazy wearing a suit

and talking on the phone all day.

- So, you did it.

- Ah, we did it.

You know your mom stood right next to me

when we told your grandpa?

He got so angry.

Ah, but he got over it.

And your mom and I got married,

and we had us three beautiful
little kiddie, kiddie,

kiddies like you.

- And then?

- Uh and then...

Well, here we are.

Hey, listen, you.

You sleep, okay?

I love you.
- Love you too.

- Morning.

I said good morning, grouchy.

- Sorry.

I didn't sleep at all last night.

Did you guys even realize
that the sun never went down?

- Welcome to the top of the world.

- Yeah, for a couple
of weeks in the summer

we have almost 24 hours of daylight.

- Huh, cool.

- I couldn't sleep either.

I don't think Daddy wants
to be alone anymore.

- How do you know what Dad wants?

- Because he talks to me.

He does.
- Yeah, right.

- You know what, I couldn't
stop thinking about

that "Alaska Love" magazine.

- Maybe we could send Dad's picture in?

- Are you crazy?

You'd have better luck auctioning
him off on the internet.

Only desperate guys do personal ads.

- Oh, morning, Dad.

- Hm.

- Hello, desperate guy.

- Okay, what do we have to fill out?

- Make sure she likes kids.

- Yeah, if you find a woman with two boys,

a girl and a dog named
Tiger, you're all set.

- Now, how do we even know that Dad's

gonna have enough choices
to be picky about?

- Because we're really gonna sell him.

He's handsome, funny, caring, giving,

and he always makes you laugh
if you're feeling upset.

- Oh, hey, put down that he's
good in case of an emergency.

Remember when that guy
from Ohio almost drowned,

then Dad gave him CPR and saved him?

- That, that's good.

- Hey, you guys didn't fill
out the cultural interest form.

Does he like music or art?

Does he read any books?

- He read me "Curious George Goes

To The Hospital" last week.

- I'll make up something good.

- So, what does he have
to say about all this?

You're not telling him?

- Well, it's not like he'd
actually go along with it.

- Uh, I think his reaction
might be a tad bit stronger

than "I'm not going along with this."

- Yeah, but it doesn't matter.

By the time the letters start coming,

it'll be too late to stop it.

- You guys oughta sell real estate.

Maybe even used cars.

You got a real knack
for making a fixer-upper

sound like the find of the century.

- But he is the find of the century.

- Yeah, we're just
worried no one will find

the find up here.

- What about your mom?

Anybody worried about
her being on her own?

- Mom's different, she dates.

Knows how to do all this kinda stuff.

- Yeah.

- So, you had fun out at the ranch?

- I did, it was really nice to
get out there with the kids.

Stretch my legs and breathe the fresh air.

- Mm hm.
- That's not to say

I'm not having a lovely time
ducking out of work today

to go to the museum with you.

- Oh, well, I'm very glad to hear that.

It's not how I meant it.

I'm not trying to compete with your family

or your husband or anything-
- Ex-husband and of course

you're trying to compete
with him, you're a man.

- Oh, well, don't hold
anything in, Susannah.

Just tell me what you really think.

- Was that blunt?
- Wasn't subtle.

- I'm sorry, I have been
told I can be blunt.

- Well, I'll be blunt too.

It's been two months.

How am I doing?

- You want the long version
or the short version?

- Uh, any chance a guy
can bum a cup of coffee?

- Uh, can I give you a rain check?

The kids are gonna be back soon and...

- Sure.
- Okay.

- Um, actually, Susannah,
I don't wanna sound...

Well, I'm just being a
really good boy scout here,

but I'm also a boy.
- I know, I'm sorry.

I just, you know I'm just trying
to get used to this dating,

relationship thing again.

- And I don't wanna rush something
that's worth waiting for.

- Thank you.

- Mom.

- I better go.
- Okay.

- Call you later.
- Thanks.

- Hey, guys.
- Hi.

- Hey.

- Hm.

- Hi.
- Hey, Mom.

- Hey, how you doin'?
- Good seeing you.

- Well, I guess
I don't need to ask

how the rest of your weekend was.

- No, you don't.

- It looked like he was on his way in.

- I asked.
- Oh, yeah?

- But he has to get up early for court.

- Let me guess, he's a
big defense attorney,

working hard to get those
criminals back on the street asap.

- Well, not that it's
any of your business,

but he's actually trying
a big class action suit

against one of the oil refineries up here.

- Wow, a real job and principles to boot.

Well, maybe you found what
you were always looking for.

- Maybe I have.

Don't you have a plane to catch?

- It's okay, I know the pilot.

- Good night.
- Yeah.

- I've got a secret.
- Oh, you do?

- It's about dad.
- Wow, so, spill it.

Good night.

You know what she's talking about?

- Hm , hardly ever do.

- Good night.

You know what Hannah's secret is?

- No idea.

I don't know.

- You guys are up to something.

Lights out.

Now.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- So, I ran into Burt at the store

and he said you were here.

- Yeah, yeah, I had to get some new CDs.

I think it's gonna be fine.

So, what were you doing at the store?

- I was checking out the magazines.

- Did you find out if they're gonna print

the article or not?

- No, not a word.

I got you something.

- Thanks.

- It's so you can sleep.

- I'm just gonna take a wild guess and say

that I look like a complete
moron with this on.

- It wasn't my intention.

- Yeah.

Thanks.

- All right, guys, here we go.

Oh my...

- Oh, my God.
- No way.

- That is such a good picture.

- Look at that one.
- That's good.

- So, what's so great about the magazine?

- That's our dad.

- Your dad?

- We're surprising him.

- Man, you guys are in a world of trouble.

- Why?
- Why?

Bring it over here.

I'll show you why.

A subscribership of over 200,000.

- 200,000?

- And that doesn't
include over the counter sales.

- Are you serious?

- 200,000?

- Bridge, what's wrong?

It turned out great.

- Mm hm.
- Way to go, kids.

- "I'm looking for someone
who likes adventure,

barbecued ribs and children."

- Well, I'd write him
a letter, I'll yell ya.

- Oh.

- What?
- Oh, nothing, nothing.

- You two need to get out more.

- You going to town today?

- Yeah, I gotta buy a
suit for Bridget's party.

Why, you need anything?

- No, just asking.
- All right.

- Oh, don't forget to
stop at the post office.

They called and said they
had some packages for you.

- Yeah, that's weird.

Don't remember ordering anything.

- Josie, you're late.

- I was detained at the news stand.

- What?

Oh, my God.

- Gary Cooper rides again.

- Oh, my God.

- I have 41 pounds of letters and packages

from all over the country.

Any idea what's going on here?

What?

What?

Did you do this?

- I have a sneaking suspicion
it was your children.

- I'm gonna kill 'em.

All three of 'em.

No jury would convict me.

Oh, man!

Oh!

Where did they even hear
about a rag like this?

- Don't look at me.

That's not where I go to shop for men,

or even trade 'em in.

- What am I gonna do with this stuff?

- I don't know.

- Why did we decide to have kids again?

- We were young and in love.

Come on, let's go find you a suit.

- You sure about this, gray?

- Trust me, I shopped for you for years.

- What?

What's the matter, is it okay?

- Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Let's just find you a tie.

- What, no clip-ons?

- Mm hm.

Maybe you should think about
getting some new shirts

and some underwear.

- I don't need a mother, Suze.

- Well, maybe you do need somebody.

Maybe that's what he kids
are trying to tell you.

- Well, why don't they just tell me?

Instead of sneaking around behind my back.

- Wait.

Why don't you just read
some of the letters.

I mean, what harm could it do?

Misguided or not, the kids
went to a lotta trouble

in a very sweet effort to help you.

- Well, why can't they
help you find somebody?

Oh, that's right, you already have.

How is Sebastian?

- Stephen is his name as you well know,

and he's wonderful.

- Well, maybe I will read some letters.

Look at some video tapes.

Ah, granted my future
dating plans didn't involve

putting out an all-points bulletin.

- He's gonna need those pants.

- But there could be someone wonderful

just waiting in that bag.

You know?

Seriously doubt it.

- Well, now, see, that's the picture

that should've run on the cover.

Pants.

Give them to me.

- Hi.
- Oh, hi.

Look who it is.

Here, grab this for me, will ya?

Ut oh, take this one too.

While you're at it, pick that stuff up.

Hi, there.

- Hi, Dad.
- You know,

it was Bridget's idea.
- Bridget's idea.

You're all grounded for
the rest of your lives.

So, your mom wants to read
some of these letters.

Why don't you grab those.

- "I can already tell
you're my type, Jesse.

My late husband was kind of a cowboy.

He smoked unfiltered cigarettes
and drove an El Camino."

- Wow.
- What's an El Camino?

- It's kind of a car, truck,
hybrid kind of a thing.

No one really understands it.

I think we can pass on that one.

- Oh, here's one, Dad.

"I like to go dancing at the techno clubs

and walking in the park."

That's good.

"I know New York seems like a world away-"

- Pass!

- "Dear, Jesse, my name is Chloe Walton,

I'm 32, blonde, five foot, eight,

and love the outdoors.

I'm a marine biologist and spent some time

in Alaska helping clean up
after the Valdez spill."

- All right, go on.

- "I'm enclosing a video
tape so we can have

a face-to-face encounter."

Oh, hm.
- Hm, well.

Let's throw it in.

- Mm.
- Hi, Jesse.

I really liked your
bio, but you know what?

I started thinking, well, I bet
a lot of women will as well,

so how do I make a lasting impression?

Well, maybe I'm not
really a marine biologist

and maybe I've never been to Alaska,

but I do have this going for me.

I hope you like it.

- Oh!

- I can't believe that
woman just did that.

- Oh, my God.
- Wow.

- Well, kiddies, have we
learned our lesson today?

Hm?

Like maybe this isn't the best way

to set your dad up on a date!

- Dad, they're not all gonna be like this.

- They're not all gonna be anything,

'cause they're printing a retraction.

- You can't do that.

I mean, they're already out there.

- Well, then, then you three
are gonna use your allowances

to send every letter and package back.

- What, Dad, wait a minute-
- That is not fair-

- This is the last I wanna
hear about "Alaska Love."

- No, Dad.
- Can you-

- Ah, ah, ah, am I clear about that?

Now, go to bed.

Go on, go, go, go!

- Hm.

You were a little hard
'em don't you think?

- Oh and how exactly would you be

if they tried to play cupid with you?

- Well, I would've been a little upset.

Okay, I would've gone ballistic.

- Thank you.

- Good night, Jesse.

- Good night, Suze.

Thanks for all the help today.

- You're welcome.

- Look, I-
- No, no, no, don't say it.

- Look, I tried-
- Ah, ah!

Not a word.

- I tried to talk 'em out of it.

- Oh, really?

- No.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

- We expecting anyone?

- Oh, you got about a dozen lady callers.

I got all their names and numbers.

Three of 'em just flew into
Anchorage and wanna know

how to get out here right
away, but I just played dumb.

- Please tell me that's a joke.

- No.
- No.

- Well, how did they find me?

- The magazine must've
leaked your telephone number

to the internet.

- Oh, give me that.

- It's only gonna get worse from here.

- Here they come.

- Oh, my God, it's really you.

I can't believe I'm really standing here,

and you're standing there.

And I brought you these cigars
because I thought, flowers?

No, he's a man.

- I thought chocolate?

No, he might be a diabetic.

You're not are you?

Diabetic I mean.

- Excuse me, who are you?

- Maisie Lee from Chester, Pennsylvania.

- You didn't get my message?

- For five years I've
been reading "Alaska Love"

looking for Mr. Right.

- I've been divorced for six years now,

and you know how tough
the single scene is.

- All these blind dates and
trying to figure out what's in-

- And what's out.

- You know, trying to
always watch what you eat.

Well, you understand.

- Excuse me, had did you get out here?

- Oh, Mr. Langley was sweet enough

to fly me in on short notice.

- You know he has his own plane?

- Isn't that amazing?

- Every third person in Alaska
has his own plane, Maisie.

And listen, about the article,

I'm afraid there's been some mistake.

Hey, Ruthie.

- Hey, Jesse, how you doing?
- Ah, you know.

- I'll get you right away.

Here you go.
- Thanks.

- Oh, Jesse, got some mail for you.

- Jesse, I'm Margaret.

I just flew in from Tampa to meet you.

I hope that's all right.

- Well, Margaret, that's
very ambitious of you,

but I don't know what universe
that would be all right in.

- That's awfully rude after I
flew 3,000 miles to meet you.

- First of all, Margaret,
I didn't ask you to.

Okay and second of all,

I was polite to the first
dozen women who did it.

Now, I'm just fed up!

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Please.

- Jesse.
- What?

- Don't bark at me.
- I'm sorry.

- You forgot your receipt.
- I'm sorry, thank you.

I'm sorry, if I see
another woman stalking me,

I'm gonna shoot first
and ask questions later.

- You're living the dream
of every damn man in Alaska.

And still you're not happy.

- Last weekend, this woman
came all the way from Spain

and pretended to be on a fishing trip.

This was wearing this long
dress and these high heels.

- And of course Dad
knew why she was there,

but still took her fishing anyways.

- She lost her fancy shoes in the mud.

- Oh, God, I can't believe you guys

are doing this to your father.

- You know what?

I am glad he's meeting new women.

I think he's kind of enjoy it.

- Yeah, okay.

Dad puts on a really good
show of being all ticked off.

- Yeah.
- But he likes the attention.

- Hold that thought.

I wanna talk about this some more.

Is there anything else I can get you?

- Oh, another cop of coffee.
- Okay, sure.

Are you a photographer?

- A photojournalist actually.

These guys are climbing a glacier.

I'm gonna go along and document it.

- Oh, it's...

You work for that magazine?

- Hardly.

No, my sister gave me this as a joke.

I have to admit, this
bachelor looks pretty good.

Hm, he's probably airbrushed.

- No, actually, he, that's
pretty much what he looks like.

- You know him?
- Mm hm.

- You think you could introduce me?

- Hey, again.

Jesse, this is Gina.

Gina, Jesse.

Gina is town for a few days and
she wants to see the sights,

so I thought why not the expert.

- Ah.
- You can show her

the lay of the land.
- Great, absolutely.

Here, why don't you join me?

I should get rid of
some of this stuff here.

Can you?

Thanks.

Here, let me get this for ya.
- Thank you.

Very sweet of you, thank you.

- Oh, so, how are you?

- So, tell me something.

I'm kinda curious.

Why on earth have you decided
to back one of the horses

vying for your ex-husband's affections?

- I don't know, I...

Maybe the kids had it right?

- Hm.
- Maybe Jesse is lonely.

- Mm.

- I mean, she seems nice.

- And people thought that-
- Are you serious?

- Yes, I'm very serious.

- Oh, yeah.

Very nice.

- So, is your
eye mask helping you sleep?

- Yeah, I'm getting used to
this 24 hours of daylight.

I kinda like it now.

- Oh, you scared of the dark?

- My parents always fight at night.

That's when they fight most I mean.

What was it like when
your parents split up?

- I couldn't believe it.

I mean, I knew my mom felt
cutoff from the world out here,

and dad was always working so hard trying

to keep the business going.

I don't know, I guess ,

I guess there's a lotta things that go on

that we don't always know about.

- And then they stop
caring if you know or not.

My parents started
screaming all the bad things

at each other and that's all I could hear.

- It wasn't really like
that with my parents.

Just kept getting quieter and quieter.

- End result's the same I guess.

- Hey.

- All right,
everybody say cheese.

- Cheese.

- Yeah?

- Hey, how are you?

- Hey, having fun?

- Yeah, happy birthday.

You look good.

- Oh, there's a lotta food

when you're ready there.

- Burt.

Well, I say bravo to Josie.

Thank you very much, honey.
- My old lady.

- What did the mobster-
- Sam!

- Oh, here we go, Sam!
- Sam, I don't wanna hear it.

- It's her
birthday and she said no.

- Oh it's, yeah, no.

Oh, come on.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- I could make it after all.

- Oh, wow.

Here, let me.

Wow, hi.

- I hope it's okay.
- No, it's fine.

It is, it's great.

Good to see you, yeah.

Come on, let's make room here.

Yeah, we'll just slide everybody down.

No, here, why don't you.

Everybody, this is Gina.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- Nice to meet you.
- Everybody.

This is Bridget, it's her birthday.

Little vision in pink.

She's 16.
- Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

- And you know Susannah.
- Yep.

- That's our little girl, Hannah.

Uh, Suze and I got divorced two years ago.

- Mom, I have two sugar packets.

Isn't that when I stop?

- So, she's helping you
meet other women now?

- It was am amicable divorce.

- Oh, I'd say.
- I'd say.

It's good to see you.

Can I get you anything?

Glass of wine?
- I'll have some wine.

- Sure.
- Cake coming through.

- Oh!
- Oh, wow!

- Look at this.
- Okay, time to sing

happy birthday to the birthday girl.

Bridget?

Bridge?

Where's Bridget?

- Where's Derek?

Whoa, whoa, hey.
- Bridget, honey.

- Hey, break it up.
- Bridget, Bridget.

- Hey!
- Oh.

- Honey, you have guests inside.

We'll talk about this later.

- Oh!
- Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God, my little girl.

- Break it up?

- That the first
thing that came out.

- Well, nothing happened.

They're just trying to figure it all out.

- Yeah, well, I don't want 'em
to figure it out too quickly.

Oh, man.

- So, I see you invited Gina?

- Yeah, that introduction you made

was under false pretenses.

I thought she was a friend of yours?

- And now, she's a friend of yours.

It seems to be going okay.

- Just curious why you'd
care how it's going?

Why you practically
arranged the whole thing?

- I just want you to be happy.

- Well, can't argue with that.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- So, you wanna talk about what happened

at your birthday party?

- No.

- You have anything you wanna ask me?

- Um.

- Why don't you tell me about Derek?

- Okay.

I mean, I really like him a lot.

And he's great to talk to.

When he's actually talking.

- How do you feel when you're with him?

- I feel good.

You know, kinda safe.

Which is weird because
he's really insecure

and his family's a mess.

I mean, he doesn't even live here.

- But none of that matters.

- No.
- Mm mm.

- It just, I don't know
if sex is like love

or if it's just something
you do to get outta the way.

You know, with both of our
parents split up and everything,

we kind of wonder, you know,

can people actually make it work anymore?

Not that I wanna marry Derek or anything.

- Oh, no, no, we're just
talking about the sex part.

- Mm.
- Uh huh, okay.

Well, obviously I think you should wait.

Take your time.

It's a really big step, honey.

And I'm just old fashioned enough to think

that love comes first and then the sex.

- Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

- Good.

- Hi, I'm Gina.

I'm a photojournalist, I'm a size one,

and your ex-wife just handed
me to you on a silver platter.

Oh, God, I'm such an idiot.

- So, is living out here as
bad as you thought it would be?

- At least gramps has a satellite dish.

- Yeah, right.

Everybody comes to Alaska
so they can can five HBOs.

- Wow, this is amazing.

- Yeah, I guess living in Alaska

does have some good parts.

- This is pretty cool.

It's better than Hollywood
Boulevard, even Venice Beach.

I guess I could see how
you could stand it up here.

- So, you want it to
move really naturally,

so the fish just thinks that

it's a fly lazying in the water.

All right?
- Okay.

- You're doing good.

You're doing really good.

- Everything all right?

- Who caught this?

- Yeah?

Not bad.
- Thank you.

- So, Dad, how
come Gina had to go back?

- Well, she does have a job, you know,

outside of entertaining you guys.

- But she's coming back, right?

- I take it that means you like her?

- Of course we do, Dad.

So what's the scoop?

- The scoop is Gina's fantastic.

You bloodhounds can call off the search.

- And then, Dad said we
could call off the search.

Gina's the one.

- Really?
- Mm hm.

- Wow.

Good night, honey.
- Good night, Mom.

- You okay, Mom?
- Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Hi.
- Hi.

- So, what happened with Gina?

- Oh, we had a great weekend

and then she had to leave for her job.

- Great, so your dad likes her, hm?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Mom, are you jealous?

- No.

No, I'm not jealous.

I just, you know, I hear she's the one.

So, obviously I'm gonna be curious.

- Well, he has fun with her,
but beyond that, I don't know.

- Okay.

Good night, honey.
- Night.

- Are you sure there's
no way I can stop this?

I mean, this is harassment.

- We have to give it to you.

What you do with it
from there is up to you.

- "Dear Bachelor of the Month,

I'll start out by
admitting that I'm already

embarrassed about writing this letter.

But you'll never guess exactly why.

Something in your bio really
touched a chord in me.

I'm also divorced with three kids.

I love what the article said
about you never giving up

on your dream of building
a ranch in paradise.

My husband and I shared some

pretty amazing dreams at the start.

You seem to be proof
that people can move on.

You've made your dream a reality.

That gives me hope.

Take care, Sarah Jennings."

- "Dear Sarah,
I'll start by saying

that you're the first
woman I've replied to since

the 'Alaska Love' article was published.

And it's not just because
you're the first sane one.

I don't really know how these things work.

Your words struck a chord in me too.

You really seem to understand the pure joy

I get from what I do.

That the picture on the
cover isn't a gimmick.

I may not be making a fortune,

but I'm living my dream everyday.

Sincerely, Jesse Stanton.

P.S., I have some regrets
about my past as well,

it's good to know I'm not alone."

- Oh, hey, Mom.

- Hi, honey.

- What are you reading?

- Nothing.

- Okay.

- "Dear Jesse,
thank you for the reply.

If I'm truly the only one, I'm flattered.

And it's not such a miracle

that I can tell what you really like.

I can see the integrity in you.

The love you feel for
your family and friends.

When you said, 'I may
not be making a fortune,

but I'm living my dream every day,'

it made me wonder if maybe

I gave up on my dream too quickly.

Okay, I'm gonna stop before
I really embarrass myself.

Take care, Sarah."

- What's wrong?

- I've been exchanging letters
with this woman, Sarah.

- Cool, you wrote one back?

Must be something special.

Why don't you see this one?

- I don't know.

- Well, I think I do.

And it's got nothing to do
with this Sarah or even Gina,

as nice as she is.

You got another woman
on your mind, Susannah.

You still love her.

Why don't you just admit it?

I've been watching the two
of you and I don't get it.

Of course, I didn't get why you
broke up in the first place,

but all the signs are there.

At Bridget's party, I
thought the two of you

were gonna sneak away and make out.

- Well, Susannah was my
life for a long time.

You see, that's the point though.

She's my past.

I think Gina's my future.

- Well, if you were happy
with that arrangement,

why are we having this conversation?

- We're not.

This never happened.

- "Dear Jesse,
I've been trying to

get you out of my head, but
it isn't working very well.

If you're having the same
problem, meet me for lunch at

Jenny's Cafe in Anchorage on
Tuesday the 10th at00 p.m."

- Well, I won the case.

They said it was unwinnable.

I won it!
- Congratulations.

- Oh, of course you know what that means.

I've gotta head back
to Boston pretty soon.

But hey, Boston's a great town.

We got museums, we got restaurants,

you name it, we've got it.

I want you to come with me.

Think about it.

You can hop on a train and be in New York

or D.C. in a couple hours.

We got schools, your kids would love it.

Some of the best schools
in the world there.

- Stephen, my whole life is here.

- Well, you can make your
life anywhere you want.

You can.

I'm crazy about you.

You know that.

- Stephen, I, I can't.

I'm sorry.

- Well, I can't say it
comes as a total shock.

I mean...

Maybe I should've advertised
in that magazine too.

- Ugh, this has nothing
to do with my husband.

- Ex-husband, isn't it?

Well, this sure isn't how
I saw this day ending.

- I'm sorry.

- We need to talk.

- Do you mind knocking please?

- Mom has been writing letters

to dad pretending to be someone else.

- Yeah right.

- No, no, no, I saw the letters

and I followed her yesterday.

She arranged a lunch I guess to tell him,

and then just bailed on him.

- Well, why would she
do something like that?

- Because we screwed up.

- Mom still loves Dad.

- So, you mean we set Dad
up with some new girlfriend

when we could've been
setting him up with Mom?

- Do you guys even watch your
parents when they're together?

Of course they're still in love.

My parents, not in love.

The only problem is your
parents happen to be divorced.

- Oh, okay, well, maybe it's not too late.

I mean, and Dad, he likes Gina,

but there might still be time.

- Time for what?

So, Gina, you really like our dad, huh?

- Yeah, I do.

- Has he told you about
his little problem?

- What's his little problem?

- He has six toes on each foot.

- Oh, really?
- No, seriously.

It's some genetic thing.

I mean, none of us got it,
but if he has any more kids

he could pass it on to them.

- Oh.

- So, Gina was saying her
whole family lives in Chicago.

Brothers and sisters, everyone.

They sound pretty close.

You know, I bet she'd
have a hard time leaving.

- Well, your mom left her
family behind in Seattle.

You know, sometimes a woman
wants some independence.

You know, so she can
start a family of her own.

- Yeah, but that was mom.

She's a really independent person.

- Yeah, Gina doesn't really
seem like the independent type.

- No.
- Yeah, being a freelance

photographer and traveling
all over the world alone

is a sign a real dependent personality.

- Sometimes he'll just go into
the woods for like a year.

He says it helps him think.

- Yeah, Dad doesn't take
clean clothes or anything.

He says the experience needs to be pure,

and he'll only eat what he
can kill with his bare hands.

You know, when he comes
back he smells really bad,

and he's got a beard so thick
he almost looks like Bigfoot.

- Hm.
- Yeah, for a while,

we thought he was one of those guys

who keeps a stock of guns.

- Or the Unabomber.

- Well, would
you ever wanna marry

someone like that?

- Oh, sweetie.

Look, if I ever wanted
to get married again,

you'll be the first to know, okay?

Well, maybe the second.

- I was just thinking because I think

she's gonna marry Stephen.

You see the way she
looks at him don't you?

- Yeah, it's pretty obvious.

- Well, your mom's a big girl.

She deserves to be happy.

- Yeah, she does.

- You told him what?

- But mom broke up with Stephen.

- Yeah, but she also
told us not to tell dad.

Which means she did it
because she still loves him.

- Wait a minute, how does that
give us permission to lie?

- Oh, come on, Sam, what Dad
doesn't know won't hurt him.

Anyways, all is fair in love and war.

- So, I'm hiking along with these guys

a group out of San Diego.

I had done a hike with them I don't know,

about four years before
that and it was July, right?

And they're hiking along
in tank tops and t-shirts.

I mean, they have absolutely no idea

that it goes below freezing after dark.

Why, why, why are you staring at my feet?

- I'm not.

- Okay, who's idea was it to
tell Gina that I had 12 toes?

- Sam, I told you not to use that one.

- Yeah, but Kyle's dad has
six toes on his left foot.

I mean, it's not like it's not possible.

- Okay, that is the stupidest-
- You told me I could do

whatever I wanted to.
- Okay, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, hey, hey!

I know what you're trying
to do here, so stop it.

Okay?

I thought you guys liked Gina?

All right, it doesn't matter.

Since I am being
undermined in my own home,

I'm gonna make it up to
her and I'm gonna take her

to the Lancaster for the weekend.

I didn't need your interference before,

and I certainly don't need it now.

- Good one, Sam.

- But-
- 12 toes.

- Your waiter'll be right with you.

Hi, guys, you hungry?

- Oh, wow, you're busy.

- We're a little busy today, yeah.

So, why don't you just,
I think there's a table.

Yeah, just opened up over there.

- Okay.
- I can't join you today

though, sorry.
- That's okay.

- Suze, Suze?

- Yeah?
- I'm sorry,

I know you're crazy right now.

I gotta know this.

Is it you?

- Is what me?
- Susannah, two glasses

of Chardonnay, table seven.
- Is it?

Okay, it's, it's busy.

Honestly, forget it.
- No, no, what?

What's the matter?

- The kids are just messing around.

It's all right.

While I have you though, could
you take 'em this weekend?

Gina and I, we're gonna spend some time,

you know, alone together.
- Oh.

- Yeah, she read about the Lancaster Hotel

in some tour book.

Now, so got her heart set on going there.

- Yeah, I can take the kids.

- Susannah, we're outta
mushrooms for the special.

What should we do?

What did I do?

- Okay, cough it up.

What's bugging ya?

- Jesse's taking Gina to the Lancaster.

- So?

They have been dating
for a while you know?

- No, you don't understand.

The Lancaster is where we were supposed

to go two years ago on our anniversary.

I had this beautiful romantic
trip to the city planned

and then he just canceled
at the last minute.

He had to lead some big corporate retreat.

You know, when this whole thing
started with the magazine,

I thought it was kinda funny.

Then I got curious, so
I wrote him a letter.

- Well, .

You're jealous, honey.

You're the only woman
Jesse's been interested in

for a very long time.

This was, this was inevitable.

Now, you gotta just figure out

if it's because you don't
wanna see him with anyone else

or you really want him back for yourself.

I better get back in there.

- This is amazing.

You know, apparently this
guy, Jacob Lancaster,

made his fortune in gold
at the turn of the century.

And he built this to lure his

fiancee away from New York City.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Did it work?
- Indeed it did.

They were together for
43 years blissfully.

Do you realize that tonight
is our one month anniversary?

I don't know if you intended that or not,

but it's awfully sweet.

What?

- I kinda did a bad thing.

Not intentionally or anything,
but I just don't think

I'm really gonna be able
to enjoy being here.

- Am I the part that you're not enjoying?

- No, no, no, no, it's not that.

- Um, Jesse, I know that you like me.

Maybe you're just not ready for this.

- Well, it takes time.

- I think you know I'm
willing to put that time in.

Or we could just be friends.

I kinda wanna know now.

Maybe we should cut this weekend short.

- So, Mom,
you thinking about Dad?

- I wasn't until now.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

Why?

- Mom, we know it was you.

- You know what was me?

- The letters.

- What letters?

- To Dad.

- From Sarah.

Mom, I read the letters in your computer.

And I followed you the
other day to the cafe.

- Okay, I wrote your dad some letters.

- You still love him.

Don't you?

- Yes, of course I still love him.

He's your father.

- You know what we mean, Mom.

- Yeah, I know what you mean.

But you know what?

Your dad and I could not make
our lives compatible before,

so what makes you think it's gonna be

any different this time?

- She doesn't
wanna give up her job

or at least adjust it for me, you know?

- That river down there supplies

some of the drinking water for Anchorage.

- Something Suze could never do.

- Could never do?

Jess, she did it for 15
years while you were off

blazing trails and rafting and fishing.

- She's the one who
left our marriage, Burt.

- Yeah, well, you're the one

that didn't give her much of a choice.

When you get down there,

throw away that fancy bottled
water and fill up with it.

That's the best you'll ever taste.

- We tried to, we tried to talk,

but we just always messed it up.

- Maybe you should've written it down.

- I think these letters are from Suze.

Now, you read that part
about following your dreams.

Susannah is the only who has
ever understood me like that.

- I don't know, maybe you're right.

- Why would lie about it?

She hates lying.

And why did she stand
me up at the restaurant?

- Could be she chickened out.

That'd be perfectly understandable.

- I don't know, I think she's
doing it to mess with my head.

What if, what if she's the one that tried

to get the kids to break up me and Gina?

- Oh, give me a break.

Your kids don't need any help
to think up stupid ideas.

- That's true.

I don't know, Burt.

I think maybe I just need
to sit down face-to-face

with her and have a
chat with her you know?

- Face-to-face, the two of you?

Well, it's worth a shot.

- Also, listen to this.

Bridget wants to become a vegetarian now.

- I know, I heard.

- Yeah, I think that's Derek's influence.

- Oh, she's gonna be so
crushed when he goes back home.

- Ah, well, maybe not.

- What?

- I invited him back next summer
to work for me if he wants.

- Are you crazy?
- I know, I don't know.

He's a good kid, we just have to watch him

a little more closely.
- So, is everything good

or what?
- Oh, it's fabulous, Joey.

- Lovely, thank you.
- It's great, Joey.

- Now, that's what I like to hear.

Look at this.

Got a face on her like an angel.

I tell you, I must've
done something wrong.

You know the last time
I seen you two in here?

When your youngster was still a toddler.

- Are you kidding?
- I'm not kidding you.

You two enjoy yourself, huh?

I'll talk to you later.

- Thank you.

So, you wanted to talk
to me about something?

- Yeah, actually.

Remember we used to have
those long talks in school?

About the chances of meeting
your true love in college,

and the chances of there being only one?

- Mm hm, yes.

And we oh so logically
came to the conclusion

that there couldn't possibly be

just one right person for you.

- You still believe that?

- Well, we better believe it.

Otherwise we'll end up pretty lonely.

- Okay.

So, listen, I wanna read you something.

I've been getting these letters.

Yeah, it's gonna sound like
one of those stupid things

in those romance novels
my mom used to read.

Here.

These letters are from this woman that...

She just seems to get me somehow.

Okay, where's that part?

Is this the one?

Yeah.

"When you said, 'I may
not be making a fortune,

but I'm living my dream everyday,'

it made me wonder if maybe

I gave up on my dream too quickly."

I don't really know how
to read into this further.

I worry still.

Second chances.

- Yeah, it was nice.

- It was.

It was nice.

- You have a plane to catch.

- Yeah, it's okay.

I know the pilot.

Good night.

- Good night.

- I need, I need my jacket.

- Ah.

- Isn't the sky gorgeous?

- Yeah, in L.A., you can't see the sky.

The city just has this pink
haze over it every night.

- Why pink?

- I don't know.

- How about every night at30,

we'll both go outside and
we'll look at the moon,

and then we'll be
thinking about each other.

- Bridge, for a girl who
struggles everyday to look cool,

that was pretty dorky.

Why don't we just use the internet?

- Okay.

Mom, we're home.

- Mom?
- Wake up!

- Ow, jeez.

- What do you mean ?

What?
- The kids are home.

- Mom?

It's 10 o'clock.

Mom is so busted if she's not up yet.

- What should we do?
- I don't know.

- What do you mean you don't know?

What am I supposed to do?

- You never let us sleep past-

- Mom, it's00-
- Here we go.

- Dad?
- Hey.

- We're gonna go get some donuts.

- No, no, no.
- No, honey.

You don't need to go.
- It's okay.

- I told you guys.

- Mom, Dad, are you really back together?

Dad's home.

- Oh, silly.
- Let's go, Mom.

- Okay, all right.

- I can't believe this.
- This is so cool.

- Well, I knew this was gonna happen.

Ever since Jesse told me he couldn't sleep

'cause he was staying up-
- Hey, Burt, Burt.

- All night reading your letters.

- Burt.
- My letters?

What...

You knew last night those
letters were from me?

- No, no, no, Suze.
- Jesse, what are you doing?

- No, no, no, no, no, it's not like that.

- What did you just wanna make me squirm?

Is that what's going on?
- Okay, hang on a sec.

- What for your personal entertainment?

- No, listen, wait a minute!

You're the one writing letters and putting

somebody else's name on the bottom.

You're the only one getting to play games?

Suze, come on, give me a break here.

- I think you should leave.
- Suze.

- Now, now!
- Suze.

- Mom, please, Mom.
- No, Mom, this isn't fair.

- No, everybody needs
to get out of this room,

and you need to get dressed.

I want everybody out!

- Jess.
- No, I'm not talkin' to you.

- How was I supposed to know
you hadn't told her yet?

- No, no, no, no, you don't just offer up

random information in
a situation like that.

I had things under control.

- This is ridiculous.

You're both adults, you wanna be-

- I am just so angry!

- I don't see what the problem is?

- The problem is he lied.

- Yeah, well, so did you, Sarah.

- Whose side are you on?
- Oh, you two.

You're both acting like second graders.

Neither one of you wants to blink first

in this stupid little game
you're playing, do ya?

- What do you suggest I do?

- What do you want to do?

- Flight 232-

- Okay, come on, Derek.

We gotta go.
- Is now boarding.

- I'll meet you inside, son.

- Thanks, Gramp.

- Jesse.

This isn't exactly the way
I planned to tell you this.

But I'm thinking of retiring

and moving Ellen and me into town.

Maybe you should sell-
- What?

- The ranch and do the same thing.

It would be easier to run
your business from Anchorage.

- Sell the ranch?

Give up the dream I've
worked for my entire life?

- You want your wife back?

- Okay, honey,
I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah.
- Just go outside a minute.

- Bye.
- I'm driving you home.

- Yeah?

- If any of you are interested,

I've got an idea to get
mom and dad back together.

- Yeah, like putting an article of dad

in a personals magazine?

- Give it up, Bridge, we tried.

- No, they want this and you know it.

- All right, what were you thinking?

- Okay, we can make a world
where they can both be happy.

You know that service road
they've been building forever?

Well, it's done.

- I didn't think they'd ever finish that.

- Well, now, you don't have
to fly all the way out there.

And it's only like a 70
minute drive from Anchorage.

It's still remote enough for dad,

but not so far outta the city
that mom's gonna go crazy.

So, what do you think?

- Hm.

- I think this
could really work this time.

- Yeah, I think I've heard
that from you before.

I mean, whenever we do what you tell us,

we get grounded.
- Yeah, and mom and dad

still end up mad at each other.

- Well, fine then, we'll get grounded.

'Cause I can tell all mom and dad

need is a push, a solution.

I think this plan could be it.

- Don't you kids think
you've done enough already?

- Yeah, your parents have been
pretty patient up until now,

but I think they're
reaching a breaking point.

- Come on, we
can't stop when we're ahead.

- No, she's right.

They're back together,
they just don't know

that they're back together.

- Even if your idea could work,

how could you get two people

that stubborn to sit down and talk?

- Good point.

- I gotta go, the kids called.

There's some emergency at the ranch.

I don't know how I'm gonna
get a flight in this late.

Oh, boy.
- Take the new road.

It's finally open.

- You got the candles, Bridge?

- Yeah, they're over there.

- All right.

Hurry up with that letter, Hannah.

- Hannah, could you
grab an end for me here?

How's that floor coming, Burt?

- Oh, it's a thing of beauty.

- Oh, you missed a spot.

- Don't say a word.

- Welcome to the Stanton Ranch B and B,

where you can leave all your
worldly cares at the door.

- All my worldly cares, huh?

- She read it in a book.

We thought it was kinda catchy.

- You know, I think what you guys

are doing is really special-

- Please step into our parlor room,

where guests can mingle and
relax or simply read a book.

Oh and don't forget to
sign our guest book.

- And come into our dining room,

where guests can enjoy
a delectable, delicious,

and elegant meal.

- Prepared of course by
our master chef, Hannah.

- Dinner will be served in 10 minutes.

Would you like freshly
prepared appetizers?

Try one.

- And if you'll join us
upstairs to the guest rooms.

Um, this is the Kodiak Suite.

- This is our Alpine Suite.

- And this is the New Dawns
Suite, our finest culmination.

So, can you picture it?

And now that you can use the road,

people can come from all over.

And I mean, a bed and
breakfast would be great

for Dad's business.

And Mom, think about the
restaurant you can make

with the romantic setting.

- What?

What's going on?

- Hi, Dad.
- Hi.

Uh, the, the kids seem to think

that we could turn this place into a,

a full service B and B.

- Together.

- Why don't we go and swing on the swings.

- Oh, no, no, that's okay.

I'm just-
- Sam, let's go

swing on the swings.
- Hey, ow, jeez.

- Hi, Dad.

- A B and B, huh?

Well, it would take more than this.

I mean, we'd need some renovation money.

- Well, the restaurant...

Well, it's worth quite a bit.

- Yeah, I mean, it's been a good year.

I've been able to just squirrel some away.

What do you think?

- How's Gina?

- Well, she got back from
her trip and she dumped me.

She was too perky anyway.

How's Sebastian?

- We actually, we broke
up a couple weeks ago.

'Cause he was too .

He wasn't you.

- I love you.

- Well, that's a relief
'cause I love you too.

- We're gathered today,
in the presence of family

and friends to join in holy
matrimony Susannah and Jesse.

Marriage is a sacred union.

It is truly a journey.

Jesse, do you take Susannah to love,

honor and cherish forever?

- I do.

- Susannah, do you take Jesse to love,

honor and cherish forever?

- Yeah, I do.

- By the power vested in
me by the state of Alaska,

I now pronounce you
husband and wife, again.
