re doing it now. - I am? - Mm-hm. - Oh. Can you describe whatever it is that I'm doing? What I'm aware of is that... We were just sitting there and... Good night, Fleischman. Soapy told me that the thing he loved most about country was its sense of myth. There's heroes and villains, good and bad, right and wrong. The protagonist strolls into a bar, which he sees as a microcosm of the big picture. He contemplates his existence, and he asks himself: "Who's that babe in the red dress?" Meanwhile, here's a classic from Pee Wee King and the Golden West Cowboys. - Thank you. - You're welcome. Shelley, could you do me a favour and turn the radio down before I go insane? OK. Tell me when. Perfect. Dr Fleischman, we've got your paperwork ready. Do you have a moment? Sure, but don't you think we should do this someplace private? Is this confidential? No. It's business, which I generally conduct someplace other than a bar. We thought you might be in a hurry to get your hands on your money. Excuse me. Excuse me. Dr Fleischman? Excuse me. I'm doing business with the chief. "The chief"? You're a chief? Oh, great. Can you get them both together? - Just go on with whatever you're doing. - I don't think so. Ed? OK. Um, Laurie, I don't think you should bug Dr Fleischman, cos he's from New York and they have a thing about paparazzi. I didn't know Soapy that well. Except, he did come in here for breakfast a lot. He always ordered the same thing, a one-eyed Jack. That's a piece of toast with a hole and an egg under it, so the yolk sticks through. It's supposed to look like an eye. That's how it got its name. Then you melt cheese on top. That's where the "Jack" part comes in. Except Soapy would always order American cheese. A one-eyed American. Doesn't sound very delicious. I don't think. Was there anything about Soapy that no one knew except you? Well... I probably shouldn't say this since he's not here to defend himself, but... Soapy did not believe in artificial sweeteners. Maggie, tell us about the real Alaska. - Excuse me? - What did you come here hoping to find? Actually, I came out here with somebody else. Right. The guy who fell off the mountain. - No. - The one that sacked out on the glacier. - How did you know? - It was in Dr Sanderson's journal. Oh. I didn't even know he had a wife. Until the funeral, that is. Her picture's in the file, isn't it? - Why don't you use any lights? - I like source. - You do? Why? - Because it delivers reality. Oh. - She looks like me. - It's weird, she looks exactly like you. In his journal he said that you guys were alike in more ways than looks. - What do you mean? - What'd he say? He said you both sang your own song. - What does that mean? - I don't know. Soapy said Helen was less defensive than you are, but that you took more chances. - Except... - Except? Except when it came to men. So I don't know. I never really thought about it till Soapy brought it up. I mean, I thought about it, but I never saw it quite so clearly. - What do you think? - I think it's a pretty good idea. - You do? - Absolutely. Are we talking about the same thing? Your nature preserve. What we're doing here. No. I wanna know if you think that what Soapy said was true, Holling. Uh, about what? Do I kill guys? Or is it just sheer coincidence that every guy I go out with ends up dead? Oh, that. Well, maybe you're just... putting something out into the universe. What do I do? Only go out with guys I'd like to see dead? - Joel? - Yeah. Only now I'm starting to think - having seen this other side of him - that maybe it'd be OK if he doesn't get hit by a large truck. Ah, yeah. Move more to your left! Your left, yeah. Two steps. Excuse me. What are you doing? - Surveying. - I can see that. Why are you surveying? The new owners need a map before they can start the road. What new owners?
