Mm. Uh...

Uh, she told me her...

That her name was Oprah.

I don't think

that's her real name.

I think she just said that

because she thinks

I'm a... a pervert.

Pervs got mustaches.

Everybody know that.

Have a good day,

Mr. Herschel.

Henry, are you there?

Well, as you know,

revitalization coalition,

and I'm hosting

a benefit tonight,

and it's important

that you be there.

I have chef Robaire

from Sariette catering.

00.

It's black tie, of course.

It'll give us a chance

to discuss options for penny.

Anyway, give me a call.

Hey, Mr. Herschel,

we done for the day.

Um, okay.

Actually, did you guys,

uh, by any chance

see the... the girl that we

were talking about earlier?

No.

Oh.

No, man, I know where...

You... what did he...

What'd he say?

Um, he... he say he know

where Oprah live.

Why didn't you tell

me that earlier?

Well, can you take me there now?

That Chile in there with...

Okay.

Well, I'm gonna go over there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

This is a bad idea.

Hey, guys, relax. Okay?

I'll be right back.

Boudin? touffe?

Oh, yeah.

Let go to the Maison.

"If found, I'm probably screwed.

"Please return

to 234 ransom Lane,

New Orleans, Louisiana.

Thanks."

"September first, 2008.

"Set sail today.

"First time I've said goodbye

to land in ten long years."

"This'll be the most worthwhile

thing I've ever done.

"I'm scared, but I think that's

how you're supposed to feel

when you're doing

something extraordinary."

"September 20th.

"Rain today for nearly an hour.

"I was able to save a few cups.

"Feeling incredibly weak.

Have not seen land

or birds in a few days."

"October eighth.

They came again this morning.

I'm not the only one

starving out here."

"October 15th."

"A storm, a bad one.

The devil has come."

Oh. Oh, sh*t.

No. No, no, no. No.

No, no, no,

no.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, no.

No. Oh, no, no, no.

Hey. Oh, no, stop!

Don't go in there.

Get the hell off of me!

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

What did you do?!

It was an accident, okay? I...

Fire!

Fire!

It's ok... you have to get

the hell out of here.

Okay. I...

Now!

Henry!

Henry, I know you're in there.

Henry, did you forget

about the benefit?

I had a seat for you

in my table.

Open up, dear.

I just want to talk.

Brought you some crawfish.

Or I'll leave it

on the porch, I guess.

Okay, then.

Damn it.

My pa used to say

the most important thing to have

on any journey was a compass.

It tells you where you're going

and where you been.

If you ain't got one,

you'll end up lost and adrift.

Then all you can do is pray

for some help to show you

the way home again.

Hmm.
