something, huh?
Yeah.
What causes them to do that?
This is just a guess, but I think high-speed
electrons and protons from the sun
are trapped in the Van Allen belt,
then channelled through the polar regions,
where they collide with other particles
and create a brilliant luminosity.
What does that
have to do with us?
I swear, man, I don't know.
- Is that right?
- No. It's too much cumin.
All right. All right. All right.
And your flame is much too high.
OK, OK. Relax.
Look.
Hold this correctly, OK?
It's a spoon, all right?
It's not a darning needle. I'm serious!
I'm sorry.
I got it, I got it.
Adam?
Decaf. Regular.
Hello, Adam?
Adam?
Adam?
Hey, Adam!
Argh! Ow! Ow.
Oh, yeah.
Please. Please. Please.
Yes!
Big.
What's it called?
The Aurora Borealis.
I would have called it
Rust and Rims.
I love it.
I love everything about it.
- You do, huh?
- I love the rust.
I love the moon.
And I love the stars.
You should see 'em play bridge.
Sure is big.
- Great show this morning, guys.
- Thanks.
Level with me, Maggie. What do you make
of that sculpture they have out there?
I'm not sure I understand it.
But I like it.
- Ed.
- Hi, Dr Fleischman.
Well, look who survived
his first night in the bunker.
Did you happen to notice the moon
last night? Made me think of you.
- That's nice. Ed?
- Look up next time.
I saw him! He's real.
- You did?
- He was as close to me as I am to you.
Wow! What'd he look like?
He's really hairy.
Wow!
- Who?
- Adam!
Adam? You saw Adam?
All right. All right.
Look, um...
I know this is gonna sound nuts,
but my truck broke down by the fire road
and Adam came out of the woods to fix it.
But first, he-he-he fixed me
the first truly spectacular meal I've had
since I left Manhattan!
He fixed you dinner?
Well... it was more like
a late supper, actually.
Go ahead, laugh all you want, but he was
there, and I was there, and he is very real.
Son, if you think you're gonna
get out of our employment agreement
with this psychobabble routine,
you've got another think coming.
I am telling you people the truth!
He minces with Belle's Cuisinart.
He took her Bible because it was in
the kitchen. He thought it was a cookbook!
- A cookbook?
- Yes! He collects them. It sounds insane...
You had the tuna supreme?
Look, you gotta listen to me.
Please. Please!
- I believe you, Joel.
- You do? Why?
- It depends how you define Adam.
- What do you mean "define"?
Chris is saying it's one thing
if Adam is a reincarnation of Big Foot.
- Another if he's a lost soul who...
...for whatever reason...
...decided to check out
of the human race.
- Yeah, exactly!
- Bull... clap.
Hey, stranger things
have happened.
My daddy travelled a lot for work.
Every other year, he missed my birthday.
- That's how it was with my daddy!
- Really?
It was terrible. Every other July 3, he'd be
on the road. I feel half as old as I should.
- Your birthday's July 3?
- July 3, 1963.
- What?
- I was born July 3, 1963.
Do you have
a picture of your father?!
That's the same picture.
That means when Daddy left Mama
and me for weeks at a time, he was...
- With us!
- Well, that makes Daddy a...
Travelling man!
I knew somethin' was up
by the way they played bridge.
This is gettin' way too weird
for my taste buds.
Hey, if I introduced you to Adam,
would you believe me?
Just give it up, Fleischman.
I used to look at the night sky
and wonder why there was something...
- Missing.
- Yeah.
The auroras are so much more magical
than anything I could have ever imagined.
Yeah.
Nobody could've dreamt this.
- The wolves are quiet.
- Yeah.
You know, Bernard,
I always felt like I had a brother.
I always thought you were black.
If you ever have
any trouble with the IRS...
I don't pay taxes.
- You ever get down to Portland?
- I will now.
Wow.
Just look at them.
Remember me when you
look up at those auroras.
You too. You can see 'em down there
five days
