Turn it off. God.

KILIMANJARO:

Michelle and Sam are a great couple.

Well, they've only been

dating a few months.

They met at new year's last

year.

Where' you gays go for dinner?

I think i should move out.

Okay.

I'm going to.

Maybe that's a good idea.

Is that what you want?

Yeah. I'm ecstatic.

Well, what do you want?

What do you want?

Maybe it's a good idea.

That's what i thought.

Hey.

- Hey! We caught you!

Hey, Doug.

- Hey, dad.

Figured out how to use this

thing

Very funny.

We went up to San Felipe island this

weekend with Keith and Kelly and Dylan.

Oh, yeah.

Dylan was playing in the water for hours.

He, uh...

no, he's not afraid of the waves at all.

That's great.

So, when we came back, uh,

we stopped at seaview and visited your

grandfather, and he's looking pretty good.

Oh, that's good to hear.

He has something that he wants

you to give Clare.

She's not listening, is she?

Uh, no. She's not here.

Yep. All right.

It's a ring that,

uh, belonged to your grandmother.

He thought it would make a nice birthday present.

Uh, Clare and i have decided to take a break.

Wow. Has she moved out?

Yeah.

Oh, honey.

Well, we were struggling for a while,

and it's really better this way.

What were you struggling about?

Well... -I mean, no, it's okay, Doug.

You don't have to talk about it.

I know you're both disappointed.

- No, we're not.

Well, of course we're disappointed.

I'm not surprised.

Ok? I think Clare's getting older, you guys

haven't been progressing or advancing,

and women

need to think about those things, okay?

Clare... she needs someone...

Well, you know, Clare's a very nice girl,

but if she's not the one, she's not.

You know. It's better not to settle for

something that you know isn't right.

Yeah, exactly. Thanks, mom.

Two against one.

So, when did she move out?

Over the weekend. I helped her take

most of her stuff to her friend Cara's.

She's leaving a few things here for now

till she finds a place, but it'll be oka...

Hello?

We're listening.

We're just opening another bottle.

We are not disappointed, Doug.

You're not disappointed.

- Shh.

Want a little white wine?

- I love the merlot.

All right. Yeah.

All right. Doug, you're not trying

to hit a bull's-Eye. Let's go.

Aaaa. Beautiful.

Listen, Doug, you're gonna

want to keep your distance now, man.

I'm serious... like radio silence.

She's gonna want back together.

No, i think we're both realizing how unhappy we were.

- Oh, please. Come on, Doug.

She's gonna go out with some

slutty little girlfriends

and then she's gonna f*** some awful gay

and then she's gonna start thinking

how she's worthless

and she's gonna come running to you

So you can convince her that she's not worthless,

and then you're gonna get back together.

Guaranteed.

I don't think you're giving either of us

enough credit.

Oh, come on. Let me hit one,

then. Move.

Hold on.

No, you're wrong.

There's no going back.

I feel like i've been given a new life.

I feel like now i can...

All right, i'm gonna hit this

one.

Oh, my god.

You really need to work

on your swing, man.

Yeah, well, i'm out of practice.

No, you know what?

You should take lessons from me. Watch this.

Yeah. Maybe i will.

See, that's what i'm talking about.

I feel like now i can do that.

Like, now i can take lessons.

Now i can do whatever i want.

Nice.

Hear that one?

- I am gonna take lessons.

Acces. Activate.

and she looked like -

Cut them into quarter-Inch slices.

During the days, the african sun can raise

the mercury to 23 degrees centigrade or more.

The mountain is, in fact, a stratovolcano

consisting of three distinct cones.

Hikers ascend through seven microclimates

to reach its summit, the uhuru, or kibo,

peak, which stands at nearly 6.000

meters above sea level.

Sorry i missed your call.

Please leave...

Called "every man's everest", the mountain

lures over 10.000 mountaineers every year

To attempt scaling its heights.

Less than half succeed.

The famed snows of Kilimanjaro...

in actuality, ice glaciers...

have receded markedly in recent decades.

But the weather on these slopes

remains varied and often inhospitable.

To the west, the border of Tanzania

bisects lake Victoria.

The city of Kampala stands on the lake's

northern shore,

home to over a million and a half people.

Hey, dad.

- Hi, Doug.

The nursing home... just called.

Your grandfather has been taken to the hospital,

and i don't know how severe it is,

but mom and i are gonna

go there right now, and i will call you later.

I just... i wanted to let you know.

I think it would be a good idea to

fly out here for the next few days

and spend some time with him.

Hey Ernie. Hey baddy.

Hey! Come here.

Where is everyone?

Hello!

Seeing this what seems to be...

- Granddad?

Hello, Doug! Come on in here.

Hey!

- Wait a minute. Let me turn this thing down.

Oh-Ho.

- You could never get close enough.

To see what 95...

- Ohh. Hey. -Oh, good to see you.

You look good.

- Thanks. How are you? How you feeling?

Oh, i'm great.

Uh, i... uh, oh, sorry. Here.

Pull up a chair.

I guess i'm not much of a host these days.

- Oh, nonsense.

Now, i want to know all about

everything that you're doing,

but first,

i want to... i want to tell you.

Now, your father knows that i'm

going to do this.

Open that drawer there.

You see that red box?
