Mainlander or islander?

I'm not even an islander.

You are so the daughter

of an islander.

What are you doing?

We've got to get

the kitchen going.

Nobody's coming in anyway.

Maybe they would if the

dining room was open.

Everybody goes to eat

at "The Loyalist."

We're not leaving here, mom.

Is that so? What's his name?

Shut up, mom.

Mainlander or islander?

- Islander.

Cheers. Guys, sorry

- Hello?

Oh, no, no, Mr. Jarvis.

You shouldn't be here.

An agent's coming over

You don't

wanna be here for that.

Oh my goodness, is that gas?

- What?

- You don't smell that? Oh my god.

The pilot light

Open the windows in there.

But it's going very well.

Apparently there's two

families coming in today.

Oh, darn if I'd known

you were coming

I would have brought

those transfer documents.

We should get them signed today

in case there's an offer.

You want everything in your wife's name.

Val, isn't it?

- Yeah, that's right.

- Where is she?

- She's out of town.

- You're both from off-island, right?

Yeah, west coast, originally.

There's not a lot

of us non-islanders here.

We'll have to get together

for dinner sometime.

She won't be we'll both

Oh well

It's hard to meet people.

Anyhoo, so why don't

- Uh

- To sign the documents.

- Well

- IF IT'S BEFORE 3:00, try my office.
