of gas somewhere.

[laughs]

Uh-huh.

Oh, there is nothing like

first love.

I will never understand

why you two broke up.

Me either.

His life is here and mine's not.

Plus, she was a little snooty.

I wasn't snooty.

Was I snooty?

No.

[laughs]

Ok, maybe a little.

To Cara and Brett.

And the turtles.

How about just to the turtles?

To the turtles.

To the turtles.

Well, if y'all will excuse me,

I'm gonna head on up to bed.

Me too.

What?

'Night, Lovie.

Thanks for dinner.

Good night.

Have fun.

Do you believe this?

What?

They're trying to set us up.

Hey, don't look at me.

I just came to fix the sink.

The sink that wasn't broken.

[laughs]

So uh... I saw one of

your ad campaigns.

You did?

Mmmhmm.

Cheese-less mac and cheese.

Yeah, Lovie, she- she cut it out

of a magazine,

distributed it all

over the island.

Oh no.

Oh yes.

And I gotta tell you the truth.

I bought a box.

What'd you think?

It needed cheese.

Yeah.

[laughs]

I'm sorry. I'll reimburse you.

Ah, well then you're gonna have

to reimburse me

for that better butter spray

stuff, too, God it was awful.

Oh God, now I'm really

embarrassed.

[laughs]

Don't be.

Look at you.

You moved away and achieved

your dreams.

How many people can

say that?

A lot of people.

Only one I know.

She's sitting right there.

It's really sweet the way

you look after Lovie.

She does her share

of looking after me, too.

I doubt you need much

looking after.

Every now and then

we all do, right?

Do you remember when we said

the only thing we wanted

was to be happy?

I'm pretty sure I'm the one

that said that, yeah.

Oh.

What did I say?

You wanted more.

I said that?

Yeah.

You have a good memory.

Unfortunately for both

of us that's true.

[laughs]

Well, goodnight, Caretta.

Uh, you know, I was thinkin'...

maybe we finish that boat ride

while you're around.

I don't know.

I got a bigger tank of gas.

Ooh, and a new boat.

It's just that I'm not here

for very long, so...

Did you just see me get down

on one knee and propose?

No.

It's just a spin up

the waterway.

Come on.

It's just that I don't wanna

waste your time

with me leaving and everything.

Uh-huh.

Well, what was I thinking?

Have a wonderful night, Caretta.

You ok?

You alright?

Yeah, I'm ok.

Just got a little dizzy,

that's all.

Oh, hello.

Mama, you ok?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

You would think that I would

know to eat breakfast

before I go check

on my loggerheads.

We have a new nest.

Do you wanna come see the nest?

I would love to but I was gonna

do a little shopping

in town if that's ok?

Of course, baby.

You don't need my permission.

Just be sure you're back in time
