Before my call comes.

Could I get the same...

as my friend please?

Except, bacon instead of sausage, and

no dry toast.

Wet toast please.

Very good.

Not too wet, just make it damp.

I know... I know, I'm sorry.

Well he thought he knew

where it was, but...

Remember who we're dealing with.

I don't know. Apparently we're...

closing in on it.

Did you do anything last night?

She's fine.

We're super close.

I never doubted you man.

This is where we're goin'.

This is where we are?

- Awesome

Yo, yo, yo yo yo...

There. On the tree.

How we could've missed that.

I'm tellin' you man.

This is a very special place.

If you can't see the

little arrows at night,

you can't get in.

Grew pickles?

- Yes.

So they grew pickles?

It's only like a half-sour.

It was... I guess it's called half-sour...

where they're sort of salty

and don't have a lot of flavor.

How are you feeling?

- Good.

I feel good.

How about you?

Feel good too.

I see sticks.

Yeah. Here.

My God. Lucy, come.

Go catch it.

It's only one day a week but,

really pulls me out of myself.

The kids are cool.

They're really into it.

And it's fun thinking

about carpentry and...

woodworking...

in a way I haven't for a long time.

Makes you realize how long ago

sixteen was.

So now this... it was

basically a dumping ground,

...is this really

happening community garden.

I'm so proud of you, Mark.

I'm serious.

You've really done something.

You've really given something

back to the community.

I don't know...

No, really.

I'm serious.

It's really something.

It's not that big a deal...

It's not that... much

time out of my life.

It's nothing you couldn't do if you

felt like it too.

Not that you don't

give to the community.

I mean...

Just a... different community.

This is it, Mark.

Cool, this looks fantastic.

- I hope you like it.

Awesome.

Alright. Let's start these flowing.

Plug it up, and then...

Let's grab it.

Come on.

Fill up here.

And then... just make the tubs

cool enough to get our bodies in.

Dump it in.

Whole thing?

- Yeah.

Probably wanna refill.

Look at that water.

Man...

Yesterday...

Wanted to get a notebook, for...

my journal.

So I borrowed Pete's bike,

and first when I took off riding,

and where I was on the sidewalk,

there was this old man

on the sidewalk too.

And,... you know he was

walkin', walkin' walkin',

so I thought:
'Oh, I'm clear.'

And I took off to the left, around him,

and just then he stepped to the left.

And I didn't ring the bell or anything.

When I got past him, he yelled at me.

He was like:
'Hey.

Thanks for the warning.'

And I just felt so... bad.

All of a sudden I felt so guilty.
