The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
Huh?
Hi! Todd Mahar, eHarmony.
How can I help you today?
Hi. I can't seem to leave
a wink for someone.
I don't know, is my page broken?
Do I maybe have
a broken page, or...
I've never heard
of that, but, okay.
You're trying to use your eHarmony
account for the first time?
I am.
Okay.
I'm looking at your profile.
We have a pretty intricate
matching algorithm.
That's what distinguishes us from
Yeah, I like that.
Actually, I'm just trying to
leave a wink for one person.
Cheryl Melhoff.
She started in my division
and I overheard her near the bagels
saying she was on your site.
Okay, that's unique.
But let me ask you.
You left a lot of this stuff...
like the "Been There, Done That"
section, you left it blank.
Okay, you got to
help me out here, man.
Don't skip stuff.
Okay, well, I haven't really been
anywhere noteworthy
or mentionable.
Have you done anything
noteworthy, mentionable?
Hello, you still there?
Can you hang on a second?
Go, go, go!
Get out! Get out!
She's gonna blow! Go! Go!
Chips!
Over here!
Chips! Thank you!
How did you know
about the building?
I heard barking,
thought I smelled gas.
I hope it's okay.
I engineered
a prosthesis for Chips
while I was sprinting
down the stairwell.
A little hip-joint assembly
with a drop-ring lock and
God, you're noteworthy!
I just live by the ABC's:
Adventurous, Brave, Creative.
That's everything I want in a man.
My man?
Hey, my man, you still there?
Hey.
What? Did you
pass out or...
No, I just like,
zoned out for a second.
Okay. Do you do that a lot?
Normal amount, I guess.
Yeah, I got to run. Sorry.
Okay, but we need a lot more...
Hey. Bad day to be late.
We just got acquired.
What?
Yeah, over the weekend.
Walter! Happy birthday!
Whoo-hoo!
He's 42 years old!
Odessa!
What are you doing here?
Mom made you your
favorite clementine cake.
Aren't you supposed to be
at the retirement place
with her getting the
piano moved in?
Yes, I was there.
It's like halfway done...
piano's out of the van, it's on
the street, everything's fine.
But I just got a phone
call about a really
big audition,
so can you go finish it?
No, I can't. I'm late.
Walter, I...
I don't think you're seeing
this from what I need.
What do you need?
I need to be Rizzo in Grease.
I don't understand that.
My audition! Rizzo!
Rizzo?
Rizzo! She's tough and tender!
Do me a favor, please.
Make sure Mom's piano gets moved
in all the way. All right?
Don't go to Rizzo!
Oh, thanks, Walter.
Happy birthday!
Guess what?
We just got acquired.
Yeah, I heard.
Yeah, there's gonna be changes.
Downsizing of us into some kind
of dot-com thing, possibly.
I wonder how this thing goes down,
how the transition's
gonna play out.
Ted Hendricks, managing
director of the transition.
Hey. Tim Naughton.
Sales.
Gary Mannheim, graphic design.
And what do you do, cake man?
Oh, uh...
The cake's just for today.
I'm not a cake man.
I do...
I deal dirctly...
"Dirctly"?
Directly with LIFE's
photo units...
I'm sorry, I was really
getting into this song
and I stopped listening to you.
I was saying, you know who
looks good in a beard?
Dumbledore, not you.
Guy?
Guy?
What do you do?
Worth the wait.
Mind over matter
Ted.
Donny.
Feeling tough?
Feeling good.
Well, got to make
You been here before, yeah?
Yeah, so this is it, huh?
Yeah, the "house of pictures. "
