02x05 - Buried Treasures

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Chesapeake Shores.

You know, it is nice being back in

in Nashville with you.

How are things with you two?

I don't know.

This is our uh...

old stomping grounds.

I'm just...

worried about Trace.

Hey Abby!

How's it going?

Can't always be with
the people you love Abby.

_

So, I'm thinking that maybe we
can bring in a mandolin player.

Leigh, we really need to talk...

I know, it's probably a money issue,

but remember Dean Hendler?

I think he just left his old band.

Yeah, Dean would be great, but...

We should also start writing
another album, y'know...

Leigh!

What?

What do you think of Hall?

I think he's pretty intense.

I mean for us.

Because I just don't get him, y'know,

the way he works.

I don't think he's the
right producer for our album.

Wait that's not our choice, is it?

We owe him a record.

I don't know, maybe.

Leigh, we always said if
it wasn't right creatively,

we'd move on.

I'm not exactly sure how,

but we'll figure something out, right?

You're not keeping
anything from me, are you?

No...

I'm just wondering what you thought.

I think I have a great partner.

♪ The miles are
getting longer, it seems ♪

♪ The closer I get to you ♪

♪ So I'm going home, to
the place where I belong ♪

♪ Where your love has
always been enough for me ♪

♪ I'm not running from ♪

♪ No, I think you got me all wrong ♪

♪ I don't regret this life

The numerator is the number
above the line in a common

fraction showing how many hearts
indicated by the denominator...

Oh no, you've got to be kidding me.

I took two years of calculus
and you just made fractions

completely impossible to understand.

Yeah, you definitely need to call Mom.

I think I can teach
my own daughter math,

thank you very much.

Hah, I have heard that before.

How was the morning paddle, Ahab?

Three seals, one dolphin,

and not a glimpse of
the great, white whale.

Sounds like fun.

It is fun!

And I keep inviting
you, you should come.

It's a two man kayak.

Only yoga before sunrise, Dad.

You landlubbers are missing out.

To the ship, to the crew...

And to the blue lady of the skies.

All right girls, it's time for school.

Can we go to the fair after school?

Actually you know what,
I'm signing up for the PTA

today after school, so I'm not sure.

You have time for the PTA?

No, but that's why I moved home.

So I could do this sort
of thing for my children.

Oh, there's my little
Caitlyn and Carrie.

Sugar, sugar.

Hey Mom, how's the cleaning
in the attic going?

Oh well, I think it'd
go faster and better

if I had a little help.

Oh sure, I'll help you this weekend.

I have a son who I think
said that to me last weekend!

Did I? Oh yeah, I think I did...

Time flies when you're having fun.

You promised!

I promise.

I love you.

And I have a goodie that
I think belongs to you.

What is it? Hey Gran.

Oh, thank you.

I made this when I was 15.

It kind of looks like a treasure map.

It is, sort of.

I took something from
everybody in the family

and I buried it in the backyard.

We've got to find this.

Really? It doesn't make any sense.

I am trained to read maps.

We can figure this out.

Gran, you want in on this?

No, I think I'll pass
because when you go

and look into the past, it behooves you

to do it on your own.

Fun!

Just so you know, I've had
this conversation before.

You're about to tell me
that you and Leigh are a team,

you write with her, you record with her,

and you're loyal.

True, but I also came here to tell you

that you're making a big mistake.

Leigh, she's incredibly talented.

Give us a chance as a band,

I believe our album
will be better for it.

KAP Records wants you as a solo artist,

and I want you to be successful.

And the way that happens
is for the audience

to imagine you're single, available.

You want me as a solo
artist for the image?

People want to see what
they want to see, Trace.

Yeah, I get it, but if Leigh
and I deliver a great album,

we put on a great show...

How many albums did
you sell the first time,

when you were driving
around the country in a van,

you and Leigh, putting on great shows?

15,000.

15,322.

I checked.

Each of KAP Records artists,
who went on tour as a solo act,

went gold within six months.

That's half a million records.

In case you don't
remember how this works,

with a gold record, it would
make a fortune in royalties.

And now I'm late.

Don't blow this, Trace!

You let yourself out.

Tell the cook that these
eggs are too scrambled.

Okay, absolutely.

Mr. Tucker says says his
eggs are too scrambled.

What does that even mean?

There's no such thing as
too scrambled, is there?

No, scrambled is pretty much scrambled,

but I'll scramble them again
with slightly less scrambling.

Maybe we should just ask him to leave.

You can't do that.

I'd ask him nicely.

Since he's been here, that's
all we're doing with this guy...

Scrambling.

He's complained about
the speed of room service,

which we don't have, so I started,

then he complained about
the color of the sheets,

the hot water being too hot,

and he doesn't like
the scent of the soap.

Soap's soap.

I told him the color
of the sheets is custom,

better too hot than too cold,
and I've switched out

his soap five times, lavender,
vanilla, now it's unscented.

Jeez, I got off easy compared to you.

Maybe I should just tell him no.

I know people like Robert Tucker.

Trust me, he won't understand no.

People like him want what they want,

when they want it.

Hey, you do you know
people like Robert Tucker?

Umm...

croissant?

So good!

Miss?

I'm smiling.

Coming!

Okay, here I come...

Abby O'Brien?

Jackie Olsen?

It's been so long...

16 years.

It's now Jackie Quinn, I married Roland.

Roland Quinn.

Wasn't he dating Tina...

We're no longer friends.

Right... congratulations.

I'm actually here because I was
hoping to sign up for the PTA.

Are you sure?

Most of the volunteer jobs are
at the school during the day.

Yeah, positive.

Well, there's one thing, but
we already have a volunteer.

Maybe you'd like to do it together?

Sure, that would be great.

Douglas?

He's new to Chesapeake.

Douglas Peterson?

Abby... what's your last name now?

- O'Brien Winters.
- Hey.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, too.

So, how's the new job?

Bennett, Beecham & Findlay?

Nice ring.

Right, it's been...

it's been.

Maybe it'll get better.

Maybe it's just about
getting used to something new.

I hope so.

I've been there a month and
I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe when you pass the Bar?

If...

When!

Okay, when...

but it doesn't help that my
boss is an absolute downer.

Oh, well then maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know.

Hi, I'll have a non-fat, half-caf,

double-sh*t, three sugar,
no foam latté, please.

I know who orders that drink...

Hmm?

Danielle Clayman...

Who?

Oh, just a girl I used to know...

You left town unexpectedly.

Hey!

To be fair, I did
tell you I was leaving.

Yes, but usually when that happens,

people return.

Can I plead temporary insanity?

I'm Megan.

Oh yeah, sorry.

Danielle, this is my mom.

Mom, this is Danielle. We
went to law school together.

We were in the same study group

and I thought she was still in New York.

Nope, I am living and
working in Baltimore.

Really?

Wow, I'm working in Baltimore now, too.

No way!

So what brings you here
to Chesapeake Shores?

I'm spending the next couple
of weekends here doing

some pro-bono work for
the Bay Defense League.

Nice!

Wow, well we totally
have to get together.

Well, I'd invite you to the tables,

but I know how you feel
about doing work for free.

She knows me too well.

Well then do you want
to just meet here, maybe?

Yeah, sure... you can pay.

Absolutely.

Nice to meet you.

You too.

Same study group, huh?

Yeah...

Danielle and I, she uh...

I like her.

She's good for you.

Thanks Mom.

Sorry, we're not open yet.

I know.

But I love what you've
done with this place.

It's gonna be great for the community.

I'm gonna have to come by with my wife.

She loves country music.

I just came by to tell you your
brother would love to say hello.

Then he can call me.

Well like you, he
prefers a face-to-face.

We have been talking face-to-face.

Maybe you and he should give that a try.

Well, regardless of what I don't know,

I think you should have
another face-to-face...

considering on what you
plan to do with the Trust.

And your brother is the
one sponsoring the fair.

So the problem with this map,

other than all the doodles of...

All my favorite characters
from Pride and Prejudice.

That is Elizabeth
Bennett, that's Mr. Darcy,

and this...

The longest novel and the shortest

treasure hunt in history.

And we failed...

I thought you said you
did this in the Army?

Yeah I did, but with actual maps,

not ones that were made
by 15 year old girls

obsessed with Jane Austin.

Come on, it spruces it up!

Do you even remember what
you took from all of us?

No, not really.

Honestly, I don't
remember even burying it.

I just remember I wanted to hide.

I didn't want to see
this world around me.

Just like what I do with Georgia.

What, hide?

It's like I said, with
Georgia it was easier

to not deal with what was going on.

We just avoided it.

So all of us O'Briens
bury our heads in the sand.

Like a flock of ostriches.

Which makes our emotional epiphany

a simile about flightless birds.

Oh, nice!

And now we're both
literally and figuratively

digging up the past.

And talking about it.

Which, to be honest, I
don't even really like doing.

Me neither.

Except it's all I ever write about...

You don't think that
maybe you're just being

a little too critical?

No.

I get the whole hating
your own work thing,

that's totally normal, but
now when I read my own work,

I want to hunt myself
down, I want to tackle myself.

My literary abilities have been
marooned in an empty desert,

they have been lost
in a sea of darkness,

and then they have been swallowed up

by a big black dark hole of nothingness.

What?

The fire pit.

A circle of rocks.

That's where we begin.

Oh, goodie!

Well, Caitlyn can't do fractions
and I apparently can't teach,

but luckily Mom is a good tutor.

Oh, I remember.

She had to help Connor with his algebra

because you made him cry.

I did not make him cry, did I?

Yeah, you did.

Okay, enough math talk.

How's the recording going?

Definitely not the
way I thought it would.

What do you mean?

I'm just so close to having
the career I've always wanted.

But in order to get it,

I gotta lose something
I'm not ready to let go of.

It's good, keep it going.

Ah, perfect thank you.

Hello Mick.

Thomas...

Just like old times, huh?

Doesn't feel like old times.

No, I guess it isn't.

Nice turnout.

Well, it's always nice
when the town can rally

behind a cause that
everyone can agree upon.

Yes, yes it is.

You shouldn't have done this.

Maybe, but when you give
someone only one option,

you shouldn't be
surprised if they take it.

Thomas, you took a complex issue
and turned it into a brochure.

It's not that complex an issue.

Yeah it is, when you make it about me.

Because it's a personal issue.

This is very personal,
but it's personal between us.

Dad always said, you keep your
dirty laundry inside the house,

you don't hang it out on the line.

Well, Dad never said that to me.

Well, maybe you weren't listening.

Maybe because he didn't care.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey Adam, I want you to do me a favor.

I want you check up on one of
the permits for the Earth Fair.

Specifically for
Thomas O'Brien's booth...

I'm going to be honest with you,
I'm a little bit nervous

about what we're going to find in here.

So apparently my
grandmother's friend Betsy

has been doing the fall
finances for the last 30 years.

From the looks of it, I'm
guessing she is not an MBA.

No, she was old school.

Wow, the woman at the PTA

really doesn't like you, does she?

No, we didn't really
get along in high school.

I think she wanted to date my boyfriend.

Come on, it was years ago.

Why is she still angry?

Maybe because I'm dating him again?

Hmm, well that's neat.

All right...

I don't know, I'll take
evens, you take odds?

All right.

So your boyfriend,
is he in finance also?

No, he's a musician.

He's actually in Nashville
right now recording an album.

Really?

That's cool.

Yeah, it's good.

You know, it's hard sometimes
not seeing each other

because he's travelling all the time.

I'll bet.

So what about your wife?
Doe she work in Baltimore?

No, not anymore.

I think we should try
and get out of our deal.

You know we can't do that.

I just don't like the direction
that Hall is taking the album.

Trace, we talked about
this when we signed with KAP.

Less control, more exposure.

We didn't have a choice
then and we don't have it now.

Then we just walk.

What can they do?

Besides sue us and ruin our lives?

And I won't let you
do what you're doing.

What?

Trace, I know what really happened.

I know what Hall offered you.

I know too many people in town

not to find out Hall
wants you as a solo act.

Yeah well, what he wants
and what he's gonna get

not to find out Hall
wants you as a solo act.

Are two different things.

Trace, you don't get
a lot of breaks in life

and there aren't many second chances.

You gotta do this.

It's not all about me.

We got here together.

Well, we signed a deal
and Hall owns our masters.

So what he wants is gonna happen,

whether we like it or not.

Not if it means the end of the band.

Trace... they own us.

Are you sure this is right?

You know what I don't understand?

I navigated my team out
of the Panjshir valley

and yet I can't even read a
simple map of our own backyard.

No, this is right.

You know that Dad
once said we are related

to some famous pirate?

So theoretically, we should have
no troubles reading this map.

Well the problem is,

you actually know what
you're talking about,

I on the other hand, am
unfettered by information.

So what, it's the
blind leading the sighted?

You know what's strange?

I remember when Mom left...

but everything up until that point,

it's like I'm remembering
somebody else's life.

That Bree O'Brien was
gonna be a famous playwright,

living in New York
City, three Tony awards,

and married to George Clooney.

I was gonna be a surgeon.

Married?

I don't know if I'll ever get married.

Me neither now.

It's not something we
O'Briens do very well.

Oh yeah, we're in the wrong spot.

What?

And I need that back by 3 PM!

You know when people say
the customer is always right?

I hate those people.

Those people don't know
what they're talking about.

We should find those people
and introduce them to him.

Those people would
strangle Robert Tucker.

I've changed his towels twice today

and every time he asks for a new color

and I apologize and
say we just have pink.

I like the color, it's unique.

I know, right?

And now he wants his suit dry cleaned.

Do we do that?

The most important thing
is that we work as a team.

It's you and me against the world,

and by world, I mean Robert Tucker.

- I'm not going anywhere.
- I know, thank you.

I don't walk out on friends.

You know, that's one thing
I do know about you.

I need to get more towels.

I'll be at the dry cleaner.

Hey, Abby.

Jack, what are you doing here?

Well, I wanted to come by

and tell you that the New York
office is very impressed

with the work that you've
been doing for Matt Fox.

Thank you.

And also to see how you're doing.

What is all this?

Oh, this is Fall Fair receipts.

PTA?

You moved all the way to Baltimore

to get stuck doing this?

Yes well, I'm not alone.

Douglas Peterson is the lucky
parent helping me do all this,

although if you wanna
help, I'll give you 1987.

I know Douglas Peterson.

He works here in town at
Dutton, Latton & Pineta.

Ex-Wall Street guy and like you,

also came to Baltimore to spend
some time with his kid, but...

What's that?

Oh I heard he lost his
wife about a year ago.

It's pretty sad.

[Cell phone ringing]

He did not mention that.

I'm sorry Abby, I gotta take this.

Really great to see you.

Yeah, you too.

Jack Barton.

Yeah?

Make sure the team sees it right away.

I can't believe you
ended up in Baltimore.

I know!

It wasn't my first choice of cities,

but I was offered a job with
the Public Advocacy Law Center.

No way!

Yeah!

I'm already working on
two First Amendment cases.

What? Congrats!

Save the world, right?

Yeah!

And you're at Beckett,
Beacham and Findlay.

Bennett, Beacham and Findlay
and it's a means to an end.

Which is?

I prefer to buy the world.

That sounds like you, but...

But what?

I mean I'm not surprised
you ended up at a big firm,

I'm just surprised you ended up there.

Why?

Well, because they're the evil empire.

They take cases that the
worst firms refuse to take.

Yeah but, everyone needs
a lawyer, Danielle.

Yeah, I just didn't think
that lawyer would be you.

Well, we can't all be arguing
for free speech, you know.

Maybe, but I just didn't
think you would be

the one trying to end it.

It's like law school all over again.

Yeah right, it's like we never left...

Hey Pete.

Hey congrats, I heard the news.

Yeah, listen.

I need a favor.

Sure thing.

The industry showcase
tomorrow night... I want in.

What?

I need a spot for me and Leigh.

Wait, what about your solo deal

with KAP Records?

You know Mark Hall
is not gonna like that.

Yeah, well, you know what they say,

"You gotta dance with
the one who brought you."

Right?

I hear that.

You got it, Trace.

Thanks, Pete.

Well, I think Betsy would be proud.

It only took two MBAs and 24 hours

to make sense of 30 years of mayhem.

Yes, we did a great job.

Yeah we did.

What's up with you, are you okay?

Yeah, I...

I just feel awful.

I was complaining the other day
about not seeing my boyfriend,

and I didn't know about your...

Ah!

So sorry.

C'mon, no need to be sorry.

I didn't tell you because I
don't like talking about it.

Every time I tell somebody,
they treat me differently,

so I didn't wanna bring it up.

Well, if I start to
treat you differently,

just yell out "Wrong!"

All right, you got yourself a deal.

Speaking of which, Corey's
baseball game is in an hour

and I like to be there to watch
him warm up, so I'm gonna go.

Well, nice work.

You too...

Hey.

Hey, Leigh.

Non-fat vanilla latte?

What did you do?

I got Pete to give us a
slot in the Showcase.

Trace, what for?

We can't introduce
ourselves to the industry

when we're already under contract.

Just trust me, I got a plan.

Okay partner?

It's gonna be great.

Enjoy the books, ladies.

He's British!

The City's claims of financial injury

in their amended complaints,
specifically lost tax revenue

and extra municipal expenses satisfy...

Hey!

Mom, is Bree paying you to be here?

No, she just asked me to fill in.

Would you consider temping
at a law office, too?

Have you seen Danielle yet?

Yeah.

Yeah actually, I have.

And?

And she's working.

Do you remember the Bay Defense League?

She's volunteering for them right now.

Volunteering.

Now that would be a nice thing to do.

Yeah.

As it stands, I'm about as
far away from volunteering

as humanly possible.

But you like her.

That's true.

And by volunteering you would...

I could be closer to her, which
would be completely selfish.

What are you still doing here?

Thank you.

Hey, how're you feeling
with Trace being gone?

A little bit better today, actually.

What happened?

I've been, worried,
with him being in Nashville,

but...

today I got some perspective.

Do you have any more?

Because I could really use some.

Could you?

Are you having Robert Tucker problems?

Robert Tucker problems.

He still hasn't checked out yet?

He is apparently allergic to everything

we've been serving him.

I offered to call in a
doctor, but he's refused.

You know what? Kick him out.

Before he dies?

Yeah.

Y'know, I don't mind
the beds and breakfasts,

but it's the people
that are the problem.

But this is lovely.

I know.

Wait a second, who's watching Wordplay?

Mom.

What? She needs a job.

And what about the B&B?

David.

He needs a job, too.

He's a chef!

He doesn't mind.

Do you even pay him?

- Yes!
- Really?

When I can.

I should really go help him.

You probably should.

Yeah...

So our goal is to cover
the entire coastline

in order to fully protect the watershed.

The most important thing we can
do is change the conversation.

It's not about mitigating damage,

but stopping it.

How you doing, Connor?

Uncle Thomas.

Hey, I'm doing well. How are you doing?

Good.

You here working for one
of the groups at the Fair?

No, actually I'm just visiting a friend.

Hey, I hear you're at
Bennett, Beecham & Findlay now?

Yeah, that's right.

How did you know?

Gran told me, she's very proud.

Yeah, she was a big help.

Good.

How are you feeling about it?

Well...

I think it's a we'll see
sort of situation, you know?

Yeah sure, these things have a
way of working themselves out.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Well, good luck.

Thank you for asking.

Sure.

I'm gonna go say hi.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Can you hurry it up? I'm exhausted!

Me too, and bored!

It wouldn't k*ll you
to help out a little.

Oh, I think it would.

I know it would.

You know this is your map,

you're the one that committed the crime.

Yes, but criminal
masterminds have minions.

Did you just call me a minion?

Yes!

Whoo, I did it!

You did it, awesome!

Looks good.

That's really good!

Yes, thanks.

Hey Trace.

Thanks for sticking by me.

It's nothin'.

You would've done the same for me.

Come on.

Trace...

John?

Peter filled me in.

I was thinking you
might need a bass player.

If the offer still stands, that is.

You know it.

Come on, let's do this.

Trace?

Did you forget something?

You're under contract.

The Trace Riley Band
walks out on that stage

and your album will never be released.

I'll make sure of it.

[Applause]

How's everybody doin' tonight?

I'm Trace Riley, this is
the lovely Leigh Corley,

and this is the one and only John Rawl.

We're The Trace Riley Band.

♪ Didn't think I'd
see you here tonight ♪

should have known ♪

Leigh and I just finishing

recording with Mark Hall.

So you've signed already?

Just for the one album.

Really... and then?

As good as it was working with Mark,

I think the Trace Riley Band

is gonna be moving in another direction.

Trace and I have always had
chemistry as writing partners.

And John Rawl's baselines are the glue

that hold it all together.

Musically, that is.

For us, it's all about collaboration.

Our strength is the band.

Give me a call.

Will do.

Jess, we got a problem.

Don't tell me, he's back?

No, I ran his credit card.

And he stiffed me?

On top of everything he put us through,

he didn't pay his bill?

Worse... he lied about his name.

I knew it. He's a criminal, right?

He's a k*ller, isn't he?

He annoyed someone to death.

What's his real name and
have you called the police yet?

He's a travel writer, and not just any.

He's written the quintessential
books on American travel.

He's Kenneth Shane.

No!

Mmm-hmmm.

Maybe he didn't hate us
as much as we hated him.

Don't worry.

I mean, how many people
read the New York Times?

You're not having any pie?

Right now, I'm not very hungry.

Suit yourself, the apple rhubarb...

is excellent.

What are you doing, Thomas?

Eating pie.

Don't you be smart with me.

You're turning this thing with
Mick into something it is not.

Mom, I'm doing what I need to do.

I should've stopped this years ago,

I could've.

I should've stopped your father,
from doing what he did to you.

You can't blame yourself
over what happened.

I do, I do.

Because I should've known better.

Hey Mick, you should
try the apple rhubarb.

Thanks, I'll have the blueberry!

Mick?

Whatever it is you're going to do,

don't do it.

Mom, I'm sitting down at a table,

having a piece of pie.

But I did just hear some news.

The sponsor of the event
got all the necessary permits

except for the one for its own booth.

Really?

So all my tables have been removed?

Well, they're in the
process being removed.

The fair will run through next weekend,

but the sponsor, alas, is gone.

Alas...

Talk to you later, Mom.

Mick.

See you, Tommy.

I can't believe you did this!

Oh, so now it's my fault?

You shouldn't be doing this to Thomas.

The way you're treating
him is not right.

I want you to stop it!

And you said you weren't
going to pick sides.

Oh, Mick.

The sides were picked a long time ago.

You know Jess, when you
offer to cook for your family,

you're the one who's
supposed to be cooking.

I can't, I'm too nervous.

And you don't know how?

Yeah, that too.

You haven't read it yet?

No, I don't want to.

If it's bad, I'm going to
have to close down the B&B,

move away from Chesapeake Shores,

and the O'Brien family
name might be ruined forever.

Isn't that a little dramatic?

No.

Just read it.

All right.

"Traveling across the country,

I've discovered many long kept secrets.

The majestic cliffs of
Yosemite, the warm waters of,

okay blah blah blah...

And then I managed to
stop in the charming town

of Chesapeake Shores.

A quaint and delightful village

filled with friendly and gracious folk.

Can one say the same
about the local B&B?"

Okay, I'm not reading anymore.

In fact, I'm never
opening my eyes again.

Fine.

"The local B&B, run by
a native of the town,

leaves no stone unturned.

Every whim is attended to

and every request is met with a smile.

The food was prepared by what

can only be described as a master chef.

Mr. David Peck delivers an experience

that delights and
restores at every turn.

From the downy morning scones

to the pillow's sprig
of lavender at day's end,

Ms. Jessica O'Brien..."
He called me Jessica!

"Created the Inn so
you would feel at home.

If this is what home is like,

then Ms. O'Brien, consider me family".

We did it!

He used my name.

Isn't that great? He used my name, too.

I hate Robert Tucker,
but I love Kenneth Shane.

You know they're the same person?

I don't care!

This is so great! I gotta go,
I gotta call everyone!

Heck, I couldn't even
get past the lobby.

Hall left instructions not
to let me in the building.

So much for Hall coming around.

Look the way I see it,
we delivered the album,

we met our obligations.

As far as I'm concerned,
we don't owe Hall anything.

So what's next?

Write another album.

We don't have a label,
who's gonna release it?

We'll go indie, do it our way.

Yeah, just like we used to...

Staying here in Nashville?

I got a club to open back in Chesapeake.

I'll call Linda.

Jackie.

Hi.

Well, you always were good at math.

Thank you.

Unfortunately I can't...

Teach it.

I know, you tried to tutor me once.

I did?

Yeah, you made me cry.

Oh, umm...

Sorry!

All right!

Thanks to Gran and Kevin's hard work,

I can now officially open the first

O'Brien Family Time Capsule.

[Applause]

Which is just a really
nice way of saying

sorry I stole all your stuff.

Okay.

A lot has happened
over the last 15 years.

Both good...

and bad.

But through it all, we're still here.

And if you forgive me
for stealing your stuff,

I hope that this will bring memories

that not only bring
a smile to your face,

but remind you that
life can just be good,

and simple, and happy.

And I hope that we can all
carry that into the future.

Bravo!

Well said.

Yeah, cheers.

All right.

One of my old journals...

my goodness.

It says keep out.

Seriously!

Because all of you guys...

My Christmas mints.

I used to give everyone their medicine.

Dr. Kevin.

My crown, I forgot about this!

Yeah, King Connor's back.

No!

No, no...

Your head looks swollen.

It might just be the hair.

It's the watch that Trace gave me.

So sweet, wanna see?

Look we're all twins.

It's the same.

Wow...

my dad's old flask.

Oh, why it's one of my
childhood fairies from Ireland.

Guys, come see this.

She's been guarding everybody's
memories the whole time.

Your turn.

Mr. Fluffers...

Hey, single malt!

- Uh-oh...
- This has aged very, very well.

[Laughing]

It's good...
