1
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:45,545
I love birds.
Who doesn't love birds?

2
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:48,749
Sure, they'll Wake you up in the morning,

3
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:52,361
or ruin the fruit
in your garden.

4
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:55,123
And sometimes, of course,
they'll crap on your car.

5
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:59,265
But they Te beautiful
and they fly,

6
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,839
and they ire capable of incredible things,

7
00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:06,538
Take little sooty shearwa ter
of Tasmania, for example.

8
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:11,738
Before setting' out
on his first migration to HaWaii,

9
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:14,614
he has to shed half of his body Weight.

10
00:01:16,676 --> 00:01:18,849
Me, I probably should've shed
half m y body Weight, too.

11
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:23,294
And I was trying, /really Was.

12
00:01:24,217 --> 00:01:26,390
Okay, maybe I Wasn't trying that hard.

13
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:28,830
'Cause the truth is,
being thin was never really my dream.

14
00:01:29,389 --> 00:01:31,630
Na, I Wanted to do something
even more amazing.

15
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:34,129
- Yo! Big bad Brad.
- Mmm?

16
00:01:34,227 --> 00:01:36,764
- What you rocking out to, man?
- Um...

17
00:01:39,899 --> 00:01:41,674
Clark's nutcracker.

18
00:01:44,938 --> 00:01:49,045
I Wanted to be the greatest birder
in the World. Seriously.

19
00:01:49,175 --> 00:01:50,848
Rock on.

20
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,821
Rock on, Prasad.

21
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:56,825
Haw do you became
the greatest birder in the World?

22
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:58,918
You have to Win the Big Year.

23
00:01:59,886 --> 00:02:02,890
What's a Big Year?
Here, I'll let this English guy tell you.

24
00:02:05,725 --> 00:02:09,434
Well into the 19th century,
Americans celebrated Christmas Day

25
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:13,536
with contests to kill
the mast birds in a single day.

26
00:02:14,033 --> 00:02:17,981
In 1500, Audubon Society ornithalagist
Frank Chapman

27
00:02:18,071 --> 00:02:21,280
suggested Americans should
count them instead

28
00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:25,652
lea ding eventually
to the area tion of the Big Year,

29
00:02:25,745 --> 00:02:28,749
a competition to see
the greatest number of birds

30
00:02:28,848 --> 00:02:31,454
in North America in a calendar year.

31
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:33,997
Whoa!

32
00:02:34,087 --> 00:02:39,127
In 2003, New Jersey roofing contractor
Kenny Bastif,'k's Big Year

33
00:02:39,225 --> 00:02:43,799
resulted in an astonishing 732 species,

34
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,707
breaking Sandy Komito's
North American record.

35
00:02:46,833 --> 00:02:50,474
Many believe that Bostick's record of 732

36
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:53,779
would stand forever,
especially Mrs. Bastick.

37
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:55,714
A Big Year?

38
00:02:55,808 --> 00:02:58,755
Kenny, you promised me you were
never gonna do another Big Year.

39
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,882
Jess, I'm just going out to set the pace.

40
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:02,982
I promise I'll be back as soon as I'm sure

41
00:03:03,082 --> 00:03:05,358
there's no one out there
who can break my record.

42
00:03:05,818 --> 00:03:07,661
Your record. What's the big deal?

43
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:10,496
The big deal? Hey, "Lance Armstrong,
what's the big deal?"

44
00:03:11,991 --> 00:03:14,938
Or, hey, "Columbus, what's the big deal
with that whole New World thing?"

45
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:18,066
Didn't you tell me that a Big Year
killed your marriage to Steph in '03?

46
00:03:18,331 --> 00:03:20,436
First of all, I was married to Bridget in '03.

47
00:03:20,533 --> 00:03:22,979
Didn't you tell me that a Big Year
killed your marriage to Bridget?

48
00:03:23,069 --> 00:03:25,549
A contributing factor,
but, no, not the main reason.

49
00:03:25,638 --> 00:03:28,050
There were so many other problems
with that marriage.

50
00:03:28,174 --> 00:03:31,849
Kenny, I'm getting fertility treatments!
And you promised.

51
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,925
You said you were gonna
build a new room for the baby.

52
00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:35,583
I know. That was before El Nilio.

53
00:03:35,682 --> 00:03:38,663
Now I'm really worried
someone's gonna try to beat 732.

54
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:43,499
Bostick was right.
Somebody was going to try to be beat 732.

55
00:03:44,824 --> 00:03:46,497
Yours truly.

56
00:03:46,593 --> 00:03:48,698
Of course, I Wasn't the only challenger
for the title.

57
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:50,468
I didn't know it at the time,
but up in New York,

58
00:03:50,563 --> 00:03:54,409
a rich executive named Stu Preissler
was also making plans for a Big' Year,

59
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,811
We're still nowhere on the deal.
Chemwall won't budge on any key points.

60
00:03:57,937 --> 00:04:01,612
Mclntire used to work for you.
Maybe if you negotiated with him directly...

61
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:03,982
Sorry, guys. January 1st, I'm outta here.

62
00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:06,757
- Oh, right, you're retiring again.
- Again.

63
00:04:08,047 --> 00:04:09,117
This time I mean it.

64
00:04:09,215 --> 00:04:11,252
Next year is all about the birds.

65
00:04:11,351 --> 00:04:13,729
Edith's already in Colorado
setting up the new house.

66
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:16,300
So live in the new house
and work from home.

67
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:19,160
Use the jet. I mean, it's your jet.

68
00:04:19,259 --> 00:04:20,761
- It's your company!
- Forget the birds.

69
00:04:21,561 --> 00:04:23,541
You're big boys now.
You'll be fine without me.

70
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:27,471
You realize, of course, that the phase
after retirement looks a little bit like this.

71
00:04:28,568 --> 00:04:34,018
Stu was torn, He ruled vast empire,
his days were full, his opinions me tiered,

72
00:04:34,974 --> 00:04:36,612
Was he really ready to move an?

73
00:04:36,709 --> 00:04:39,918
Am I nuts, Edith?
Maybe I should do my Big Year next year.

74
00:04:40,013 --> 00:04:41,117
It might make more sense.

75
00:04:41,881 --> 00:04:44,418
No. Go do it now, Stu.

76
00:04:44,517 --> 00:04:45,894
Carpe annum!

77
00:04:46,119 --> 00:04:48,156
- Seize the...
- Year.

78
00:04:49,222 --> 00:04:50,257
So that's it?

79
00:04:50,857 --> 00:04:52,495
Complete support?

80
00:04:52,892 --> 00:04:54,565
You're not even gonna try and stop me?

81
00:04:55,662 --> 00:04:58,643
Stu, I love you, and I will miss you dearly
when you're away.

82
00:04:59,265 --> 00:05:02,303
But you have been dreaming about this
since you were a little boy,

83
00:05:02,402 --> 00:05:05,872
and I am not gonna stand between you
and your greatest passion.

84
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:09,745
Not my greatest passion.

85
00:05:09,876 --> 00:05:14,291
Three, two, one! Happy New Year!

86
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:15,450
Hey.

87
00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:19,595
Excuse me!
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

88
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:22,361
I just want to make a little toast
to my folks.

89
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:24,694
Hey, okay.

90
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:29,637
To my dad, who proved today
that he can still kick my ass on skis.

91
00:05:30,063 --> 00:05:31,906
Hey, I let you win a few
just to keep you hanging around.

92
00:05:32,632 --> 00:05:35,044
My childhood in a nutshell,
ladies and gentlemen.

93
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:40,547
And to my mom,
who had the vision and confidence

94
00:05:40,940 --> 00:05:42,942
to design a house
with enough room for grandchildren.

95
00:05:43,109 --> 00:05:45,749
- Hear, hear.
- If you build it, they will come.

96
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:48,649
Yes, and in this case,

97
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,284
sometime around the middle of May.

98
00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:52,855
- Really?
- Yes!

99
00:05:52,952 --> 00:05:54,954
That's why she was
tossing her cookies all month.

100
00:05:55,054 --> 00:05:56,897
You're not the only one
having a big year, Dad.

101
00:05:57,156 --> 00:05:59,363
Congratulations. Hey.

102
00:06:01,094 --> 00:06:04,769
Day one, Bostick was up before
dawn, focused and rea dy,

103
00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:07,405
NAHBA hotline.
Give your code Word at the beep.

104
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:11,208
Great gray owl.

105
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:14,080
There has been a second spotting
of the Nutting's flycatcher

106
00:06:14,173 --> 00:06:16,517
in Patagonia Lake State Park,

107
00:06:17,677 --> 00:06:22,148
A thausand miles away, Stu was up
early, too, though not quite as focused.

108
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,285
- You ready?
- To the bottom?

109
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:26,227
- You're on, old man.
- We'll see about that.

110
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:27,798
Edith, count us off.

111
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:30,595
On your mark. Get set. Go!

112
00:06:34,127 --> 00:06:36,073
You'd think they'd be exhausted by now.

113
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:39,166
They're men, dear.
If they ever stop competing, they die.

114
00:06:41,634 --> 00:06:45,104
To Win a Big Year takes experience,
determination and pa tience.

115
00:06:46,105 --> 00:06:47,709
To Win a second Big Year,

116
00:06:48,441 --> 00:06:50,148
you've got to be obsessed,

117
00:06:54,781 --> 00:06:57,261
Bostick began his Big' Year on Ere,

118
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,989
He knew that mast birders
couldn 't afford to challenge him.

119
00:07:03,055 --> 00:07:05,365
Same of us had already been derailed
by injury.

120
00:07:07,293 --> 00:07:08,636
While others had seen
their nest eggs depleted.

121
00:07:09,896 --> 00:07:12,809
Dad! I got into Yale!

122
00:07:15,635 --> 00:07:18,445
Still Bastick was relentless.

123
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:22,680
He knew that potential rivals lurked
behind every tree and bush.

124
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:28,958
Bingo.

125
00:07:32,885 --> 00:07:35,297
What would you guys do without me?

126
00:07:42,795 --> 00:07:43,796
You okay?

127
00:07:44,096 --> 00:07:45,632
Magpie!

128
00:07:48,067 --> 00:07:49,273
Raven!

129
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:56,846
Pine grosbeak.

130
00:07:57,877 --> 00:07:59,379
Yay!

131
00:08:01,681 --> 00:08:04,662
- Spot something rare for me.
- You know I will.

132
00:08:31,043 --> 00:08:32,954
I have some exciting news.

133
00:08:34,413 --> 00:08:37,485
I'm gonna be working
as a travel agent again.

134
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:38,789
For who?

135
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:41,126
For Brad.

136
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:44,161
I'm handling his travel for the next year.

137
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:45,801
Travel? Travel where?

138
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:49,138
I'm doing a Big Year, Dad.

139
00:08:49,228 --> 00:08:52,766
Spending the year trying to see as many
different species of bird as I can.

140
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,744
I've been dreaming about this
for along time.

141
00:08:58,838 --> 00:09:00,112
This is my year.

142
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,886
I've saved 5 grand
and I'm gonna need five more,

143
00:09:04,977 --> 00:09:10,450
and I was wondering if
you'd consider sponsoring me?

144
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:12,224
Sponsoring you.

145
00:09:12,318 --> 00:09:13,922
I'd pay you back. With interest.

146
00:09:15,421 --> 00:09:17,298
- Think of it as an investment.
- An investment.

147
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,464
Yeah, sure. Yeah, definitely.

148
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,340
Yeah, it sounds like a great investment.

149
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:24,940
I just hope word doesn't get out.

150
00:09:25,031 --> 00:09:26,806
All the neighbors will want
a piece of the action.

151
00:09:28,334 --> 00:09:30,109
You know what? Forget it.
I'm gonna do it myself, so...

152
00:09:30,202 --> 00:09:32,409
You're 36 years old!

153
00:09:32,772 --> 00:09:35,582
You quit grad school.
You quit your job at Dell.

154
00:09:35,675 --> 00:09:37,780
You quit your marriage.

155
00:09:37,877 --> 00:09:40,983
Sooner or later, you're gonna have to
actually do something with your life!

156
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,926
This is what I'm doing!
But I guess you got it all figured out.

157
00:09:45,017 --> 00:09:47,657
That's why your whole life
has been nothing but bliss!

158
00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:54,495
Bill, Tower One's good to go.
I'll debug the rest when I get back Monday.

159
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:56,799
- Yeah, that bird thing, right?
- Yeah.

160
00:09:56,896 --> 00:09:59,968
Listen, I'll pay you time-and-a-half to
work this weekend and catch us up.

161
00:10:00,066 --> 00:10:02,478
That'd pay for a lot of airfare, right?

162
00:10:02,568 --> 00:10:04,605
Thanks, Bill, but I'm already getting
a late start as it is.

163
00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:07,549
So, what do you win? Is there prize money?

164
00:10:08,107 --> 00:10:10,917
No prize money,
but the birdseed endorsements are huge.

165
00:10:11,644 --> 00:10:13,248
- Seriously?
- No.

166
00:10:15,047 --> 00:10:16,720
Okay, so why do you do it?

167
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:20,053
It's kind of hard to explain.

168
00:10:20,353 --> 00:10:23,732
You know what's hard to explain? To them?

169
00:10:24,223 --> 00:10:28,501
A core meltdown of the new reactor
that irradiates the entire Atlantic coast.

170
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:30,135
Okay. Shit.

171
00:10:30,429 --> 00:10:34,400
Double-time. And that's unprecedented.

172
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:39,983
Okay. But I am definitely
leaving on the 20th.

173
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:44,185
NAHBA hotline.
Give your code Word at the beep.

174
00:10:44,276 --> 00:10:45,482
Red-tailed hawk.

175
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:51,254
A Xantus 's hummingbird has been seen
in a backyard in Gibsons, British Columbia.

176
00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:53,057
The Xantus 's is Code Five,

177
00:11:07,366 --> 00:11:09,346
How do you do, ma'am?
I was wondering if...

178
00:11:09,435 --> 00:11:11,108
The hummingbird's out there now.

179
00:11:11,203 --> 00:11:13,774
- Let me just get you the key to the gate.
- Oh! Fantastic.

180
00:11:13,873 --> 00:11:18,015
I've been meaning to ask one of you people,

181
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:21,614
do you have to get a snapshot of the bird?
Is that a rule?

182
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:25,519
No. Believe it or not,
it's all on the old-fashioned honor system.

183
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,264
But you just have to say you saw it?

184
00:11:29,722 --> 00:11:33,135
No. In fact, if you can recognize a bird
by its song, you just have to hear it.

185
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:34,360
Oh.

186
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:37,941
But I see everybody with a camera.

187
00:11:38,030 --> 00:11:40,237
You really want a photograph
if it's a rare one,

188
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:41,970
same as you would the Taj Mahal.

189
00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,776
Oh! Stay on the path.

190
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:46,748
I'll bring it right back.

191
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:55,890
- This is Stu.
- Stu, it's Barry.

192
00:11:55,981 --> 00:11:57,483
I'm here with Jim and the lawyers.

193
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:02,296
We just need a little help. Stu. Stu?

194
00:12:02,688 --> 00:12:04,599
Stu?

195
00:12:05,658 --> 00:12:06,728
Goddamn if!

196
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:08,669
I hope we're not catching you at a bad time.

197
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:10,066
As a matter of fact...

198
00:12:10,162 --> 00:12:12,369
Look, We need a little expert guidance.

199
00:12:12,465 --> 00:12:14,172
We have reached an impasse
with Chem Wall.

200
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:15,404
- They don't...
- it's going south, Stu.

201
00:12:15,501 --> 00:12:18,175
They don't want to give up
their production facilities in Nevada.

202
00:12:18,304 --> 00:12:20,511
Hold out. Their H & D is prehistoric.

203
00:12:20,806 --> 00:12:23,150
It's all about the real estate.
Look, I gotta go.

204
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:24,721
I'm about to miss a Code Five.

205
00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:26,050
No, no...

206
00:12:27,847 --> 00:12:30,293
What the hell's he talking about?

207
00:12:30,382 --> 00:12:31,588
Birds.

208
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:10,598
"One of the greatest birders
I've ever seen"?

209
00:13:10,689 --> 00:13:12,032
Me?

210
00:13:12,825 --> 00:13:13,997
Crane, I'm touched.

211
00:13:14,627 --> 00:13:17,631
Do you ever think about doing a Big Year?

212
00:13:17,730 --> 00:13:19,038
You could be the next Bostick.

213
00:13:21,567 --> 00:13:22,944
Not to toot my own horn,

214
00:13:23,035 --> 00:13:25,037
but I could do something
pretty extra ordinary.

215
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:26,207
Western tanager.

216
00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:41,021
With just a few notes, I could recognize
hundreds of species by song' alone,

217
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,354


218
00:13:45,157 --> 00:13:47,637
Hey, all you birders. I'm Annie Auklet.

219
00:13:47,726 --> 00:13:51,435
If you haven't sailed with me before,
yep, that's my real name.

220
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:54,042
I love those seabirds so damn much,

221
00:13:54,133 --> 00:13:56,238
I had it legally changed in 1990.

222
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,373
Now a couple of rules.

223
00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:00,677
If you can't swim,

224
00:14:00,773 --> 00:14:02,343
wear a life jacket.

225
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:03,818
Rule number two,

226
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:08,658
I'm in charge of this itinerary.

227
00:14:08,747 --> 00:14:10,351
And if you have a problem with that,

228
00:14:10,850 --> 00:14:12,659
you can take your candy-colored butt

229
00:14:12,918 --> 00:14:15,091
and put it right back in the rental car.

230
00:14:15,421 --> 00:14:17,059
All right. Come on, line up.

231
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:18,499
What was that all about?

232
00:14:18,591 --> 00:14:23,006
Back in '03,
Annie stopped a boat to look at a whale

233
00:14:23,095 --> 00:14:24,665
and Bostick led a mutiny.

234
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:27,268
Look, no one paid to see Shamu!

235
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:28,606
Get the hell off my bridge!

236
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,078
Just show us something
with some feathers

237
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:31,580
or let me steer this thing!

238
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:33,650
- Now you're gonna cut me?
- Get off my bridge, pal!

239
00:14:33,739 --> 00:14:35,878
- 'Cause we won't look at your whale?
- I'll use you for chum!

240
00:14:35,975 --> 00:14:37,784
You're crazier than a road lizard!

241
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:39,985
He kind of had a point.

242
00:14:40,079 --> 00:14:45,586
No, he is in violation of all the
unwritten rules for decorum and civility.

243
00:14:45,684 --> 00:14:48,221
Yeah, well, maybe that's what it takes
to be the greatest birder on Earth.

244
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:51,492
Or maybe it just takes
adding a few birds to your list

245
00:14:51,590 --> 00:14:53,126
that perhaps you never saw.

246
00:14:53,492 --> 00:14:55,995
Whoa. Are you saying Bostick's a cheater?

247
00:14:56,095 --> 00:15:00,043
I'm just saying it'd be wise
to keep your eye on the sparrow.

248
00:15:00,132 --> 00:15:01,577
That record'll never be broken.

249
00:15:01,767 --> 00:15:02,837
- Yep.
- Thanks, man.

250
00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:04,414
- Thanks, man!
- Thanks.

251
00:15:05,938 --> 00:15:09,442
Now, why would I help a pig like you
win another Big Year, Bostick?

252
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:12,288
Because if he were trying to
do another Big Year,

253
00:15:12,378 --> 00:15:14,358
a pig like me wouldn't want any help.

254
00:15:14,446 --> 00:15:16,756
But I'm not, Annie. I'm just looking.

255
00:15:16,849 --> 00:15:19,591
Just trying to reconnect with that little boy

256
00:15:19,685 --> 00:15:24,134
who fell in love with blue jays
and mourning doves a million years ago.

257
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:27,330
You're not gonna deny me that.
Come on, have a heart.

258
00:15:27,793 --> 00:15:29,363
Just stay the hell off my bridge.

259
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:31,070
Deal.

260
00:15:39,872 --> 00:15:42,443
- Western screech owl.
- Capital. Yes.

261
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:43,884
- You.
- Okay.

262
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:47,950
Red-shouldered hawk.

263
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,487
- Close, but no cigar.
- Red-tailed hawk?

264
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:53,830
Yes! You, sir, win the stogie.

265
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:56,155
Straight, straight ahead.

266
00:15:56,522 --> 00:15:57,500
Kittiwake!

267
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:13,644
Bostick suspected every birder
he met of doing' a Big' Year,

268
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:15,716
And he'd do anything he could
to distract 'em.

269
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:20,015
Like a peregrine falcon he'd circle his prey,
and then pounce.

270
00:16:20,112 --> 00:16:22,854
Seasickness? I feel for you.
That's the worst.

271
00:16:23,649 --> 00:16:25,219
These usually help.

272
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:29,197
Yeah, some people say
they're just a placebo. Who knows?

273
00:16:30,923 --> 00:16:32,027
Oh! Here we go!

274
00:16:32,358 --> 00:16:33,928
Cod liver oil.

275
00:16:34,026 --> 00:16:37,439
Attracts birds like honey,
but smells like fried cat puke.

276
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:40,703
- Sorry, shouldn't have said "puke."
- Won't bother me.

277
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:44,240
Lost my sense of smell in
a chem lab explosion years ago.

278
00:16:44,536 --> 00:16:47,676
That's lucky. Now, you want to be careful
with those binocs.

279
00:16:48,273 --> 00:16:51,117
'Cause once you lose sight of that horizon,
you can get lost.

280
00:16:51,276 --> 00:16:52,380
And then you're done for,

281
00:16:52,478 --> 00:16:54,424
'cause all you feel is
the pitching and tossing.

282
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:58,753
Pitching and tossing. Pitching and tossing.

283
00:16:58,851 --> 00:17:00,956
I'm fine. I'm fine.

284
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:04,190
Hey, anybody up for a little fish-head sushi?

285
00:17:06,191 --> 00:17:07,169
Mmm.

286
00:17:08,627 --> 00:17:10,470
Pitching and tossing.

287
00:17:10,796 --> 00:17:12,605
Pitching and tossing.

288
00:17:13,298 --> 00:17:14,402
Pitching and tossing.

289
00:17:15,734 --> 00:17:17,714
Whoa!

290
00:17:17,803 --> 00:17:19,373
You guys got a rag or something?

291
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:21,643
There we go.

292
00:17:21,907 --> 00:17:24,217
Maybe one with
not so much fish guts on it?

293
00:17:27,379 --> 00:17:28,619
You okay?

294
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:32,558
It's not easy being green.

295
00:17:34,887 --> 00:17:36,491
Who knows?

296
00:17:36,688 --> 00:17:39,669
Maybe I never would have met Stu
if he ha dn 't gotten sick that day.

297
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:44,707
Sometimes friendship, like birding,
depends an luck. You blink and you miss it.

298
00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:47,668
Hey, did you get a chance to see
that black-footed albatross?

299
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:50,107
I sure did. Thanks.

300
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,772
I'll leave you at peace.

301
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:56,145
No, actually, it helps to talk.

302
00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:58,551
But I wouldn't want you to miss any birds.

303
00:17:58,644 --> 00:18:00,646
Ah! We're headed back.

304
00:18:00,746 --> 00:18:02,953
Besides, if there's anything important,
I'll know

305
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:05,790
'cause I can recognize them all by ear.

306
00:18:05,884 --> 00:18:06,885
No.

307
00:18:06,985 --> 00:18:08,555
- Oh, yeah.
- Really?

308
00:18:11,323 --> 00:18:12,700
What's that?

309
00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:16,297
That's Bostick imitating a herring gull.

310
00:18:19,498 --> 00:18:21,102
- Splendid!
- Great!

311
00:18:22,801 --> 00:18:26,339
Bostick. I have him to thank for this.

312
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:27,979
What do you mean?

313
00:18:28,073 --> 00:18:31,520
He psyched me out. Made me seasick.

314
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:34,221
I think he thinks I'm doing a Big Year.

315
00:18:34,313 --> 00:18:36,224
That is hardcore.

316
00:18:36,949 --> 00:18:38,189
Are you doing a Big Year?

317
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:41,127
No. You?

318
00:18:44,356 --> 00:18:46,165
Come on, let's speed it up!

319
00:18:47,459 --> 00:18:51,601
The lad inside says there's a suitable hotel
on the 101, halfway to Mount Shasta.

320
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:55,611
Hotel? What, you think a snowy owl's
just gonna wait for us? Uh-uh.

321
00:18:55,701 --> 00:18:58,944
Only reason why I invited you was so
we can drive straight through. Chop, chop!

322
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:03,352
I can get you
70 % off the hotel in Sa vannah,

323
00:19:03,442 --> 00:19:06,548
And I can put you on a direct flight,
but it's $100 more.

324
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:09,358
Better stay with the two layovers then.

325
00:19:10,649 --> 00:19:12,253
And your dad wants to talk to you.

326
00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:14,327
- No. No, Mom. Mom, no.
- Yeah. Oh!

327
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:15,489
He's grabbing the phone!

328
00:19:15,587 --> 00:19:18,067
- Yeah. He's grabbing the phone!
- No, no, no, Don't hand it to him,

329
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,034
- Mom? Mom, I don't Want to talk to him,
- Yeah!

330
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:21,936
Yeah!

331
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:24,603
Where is our world traveler today?

332
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,136
Oregon. Looking for seabirds.

333
00:19:27,232 --> 00:19:31,112
Oregon.
I guess everybody needs a vacation.

334
00:19:32,004 --> 00:19:33,347
It's not a vacation, Dad.

335
00:19:33,438 --> 00:19:34,849
It's not work.

336
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:38,387
Unless somebody's paying you
to stay in hotels and look at birds.

337
00:19:38,477 --> 00:19:41,253
- D a d!
- Okay, akay, akay, you're right, I'm sorry,

338
00:19:41,580 --> 00:19:45,118
I guess I'm just kind of confused about
what a vacation is.

339
00:19:45,584 --> 00:19:47,188
Okay, Dad, you know what? I gotta run.

340
00:19:47,452 --> 00:19:48,863
Hey. Hey. Brad?

341
00:19:48,954 --> 00:19:50,729
Great talking to you.

342
00:20:10,776 --> 00:20:12,380
Dear God.

343
00:20:14,279 --> 00:20:16,350
Probably could have used
another cup of coffee.

344
00:20:30,896 --> 00:20:32,239
I think I broke my arm.

345
00:20:32,331 --> 00:20:34,470
Shut up.

346
00:21:07,499 --> 00:21:10,946
In birding terms,
what Bastick and Fuchs sa W that day

347
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:13,073
was nothing short of a miracle.

348
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:14,343
Unbelievable.

349
00:21:15,007 --> 00:21:17,578
This is the rarest bird I've ever seen.

350
00:21:18,076 --> 00:21:20,613
It's like we were meant to crash here.

351
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:21,850
We were.

352
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,858
They had survived
a near-fatal crash,

353
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:26,953
only to stumble upon
a great spotted Woodpecker.

354
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:29,131
Do you realize how rare that is?

355
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:31,030
Statistically, in the Pa cifff: North West,

356
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:33,569
they had a greater chance
of seeing a unicorn.

357
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:36,772
All of a sudden your arm
doesn't feel so broke, does it?

358
00:21:36,862 --> 00:21:38,398
You could chop my arm off.

359
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:44,672
How's the conference?

360
00:21:45,003 --> 00:21:46,141
How bad could it be?

361
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:49,244
It's Paris. How's it going there?

362
00:21:50,008 --> 00:21:54,753
Glorious! Dawn just broke.
Tamaulipas crows'll be here any minute.

363
00:21:54,846 --> 00:21:57,383
I'm happy for you.
But I wish you were here.

364
00:21:57,549 --> 00:21:59,392
You're just jealous.

365
00:22:00,285 --> 00:22:01,263
Mmm. Green.

366
00:22:04,056 --> 00:22:05,057
What was that?

367
00:22:07,292 --> 00:22:08,362
I'm renovating.

368
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,639
Again? I thought we just got done
redoing the whole house.

369
00:22:11,730 --> 00:22:13,471
Uh-huh.
But not the upstairs and the kitchen.

370
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:14,543
Whoa, the kitchen?

371
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,679
I thought we had an agreement that
we were gonna wait on doing the kitchen.

372
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:20,249
I thought you agreed to wait
to do another Big Year.

373
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:23,252
Jess, I've told you,
the birds wait for no man.

374
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:24,377
And neither do I.

375
00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:28,157
Sol had to hire Frank Falucci,
seeing as you're so busy.

376
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:32,590
You hired my competitor?
That's gonna drag on forever.

377
00:22:32,684 --> 00:22:34,220
Na, 'cause I said to Frank

378
00:22:34,353 --> 00:22:36,162
that I'd give him a bonus
if he was done by April.

379
00:22:36,254 --> 00:22:37,289
A bonus?

380
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:40,131
All right, but, jeez, babe, please,
you've got to keep an eye on this.

381
00:22:40,258 --> 00:22:42,704
You cannot trust contractors.

382
00:22:43,161 --> 00:22:44,469
I'm well aware, honey.

383
00:22:44,930 --> 00:22:47,604
Okay, so is it old man Frank
in charge of the job,

384
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:51,078
or is it his kind of good-looking' son
who's doing' it?

385
00:22:51,169 --> 00:22:53,445
He's not that good-looking.
Where are you, anyway?

386
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:56,018
I'm in Wyoming. I get to bag a sage grouse.

387
00:22:56,108 --> 00:22:57,781
- Is it beautiful there?
- No.

388
00:22:57,876 --> 00:23:00,482
It's hot and dusty. it's a real dump.

389
00:23:02,981 --> 00:23:04,585
Ketchup potato chip?

390
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:06,529
Ketchup potato chip?

391
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,554
- Ketchup potato chip?
- No, thank you.

392
00:23:08,653 --> 00:23:09,859
You want a ketchup potato chip?

393
00:23:09,955 --> 00:23:11,127
No?

394
00:23:17,262 --> 00:23:19,799
This is what happens
to retirees, Stu.

395
00:23:20,265 --> 00:23:21,539
They lose their minds.

396
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,013
Hey, look, everybody! Vultures!

397
00:23:26,605 --> 00:23:28,243
You have to handle
the negotiations yourselves.

398
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:29,580
I told you, I'm done.

399
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:32,177
The company is your baby, sir,
and it's in trouble.

400
00:23:32,277 --> 00:23:33,915
Yeah, and your baby's
wandered into the street.

401
00:23:34,012 --> 00:23:36,253
- And there are cars coming.
- Your baby needs you, Stu.

402
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:37,520
Save your baby!

403
00:23:38,550 --> 00:23:40,086
You guys are pathetic.

404
00:23:42,287 --> 00:23:44,267
- Two days. Two.
- That's all we're asking.

405
00:23:44,389 --> 00:23:46,562
- Just till the deal's closed.
- And you'll never hear from us again.

406
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:49,728
Two days. Then I'm done.

407
00:23:50,128 --> 00:23:52,005
- You got it.
- Two days in New York

408
00:23:52,130 --> 00:23:54,610
- and then you migrate.
- Migrate!

409
00:23:54,699 --> 00:23:56,235
See, you're not the only one
with a sense of humor.

410
00:23:57,235 --> 00:23:58,805
Yes, I am.

411
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:20,893
Falucci.

412
00:24:22,127 --> 00:24:26,803
Long time no see, Bostick.
You remember my kid Frank Jr.

413
00:24:26,898 --> 00:24:28,707
it's a beautiful place you got here, sir.

414
00:24:29,768 --> 00:24:30,974
Yeah, it was.

415
00:24:31,169 --> 00:24:34,673
All right, Falucci, I'm gonna be going over
your time sheets like a hawk,

416
00:24:34,773 --> 00:24:36,912
so you might want to
ease up on the snack breaks.

417
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:41,019
Your wife wasn't exaggerating.
Everything with you is birds, Bostick!

418
00:24:41,379 --> 00:24:42,949
Yeah, it is.

419
00:24:43,215 --> 00:24:44,489
Jess?

420
00:24:45,984 --> 00:24:47,156
Jess?

421
00:24:49,721 --> 00:24:53,692
No. No! What the...

422
00:24:54,326 --> 00:24:55,896
Jess?

423
00:24:57,729 --> 00:25:00,175
- Hello, stranger. This is a rare sighting.
- Hi.

424
00:25:00,265 --> 00:25:02,370
Yeah. What have you done to our house?

425
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:04,378
- Do you like it so far?
- So far?

426
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:08,014
Please don't tell me there's more to come!
This is crazy!

427
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:09,980
Are you trying to get my attention?
It worked.

428
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:11,349
Is that the point of all this?

429
00:25:12,544 --> 00:25:14,922
I don't know. I don't know, Kenny.
What is the point?

430
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,851
I'm surprised to still see
this room standing,

431
00:25:17,949 --> 00:25:19,622
that you didn't take
a sledgehammer to this.

432
00:25:19,718 --> 00:25:21,493
I'm supposed to put
my life on hold for a year?

433
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,490
Like a pathetic golf widow?

434
00:25:23,588 --> 00:25:27,331
You're not a golf widow.
You can't compare golf to this.

435
00:25:27,425 --> 00:25:28,802
Golf's just like a hobby.

436
00:25:28,894 --> 00:25:31,101
And the birding is what exactly?

437
00:25:32,063 --> 00:25:35,636
I don't know, it's like a calling.
This is like my calling.

438
00:25:35,967 --> 00:25:37,002
Like Gandhi?

439
00:25:37,102 --> 00:25:41,676
No, come on.
I'm not comparing myself to Gandhi, okay?

440
00:25:41,940 --> 00:25:46,650
That's ridiculous. Okay?
It's more like I'm Mozart, I guess.

441
00:25:48,380 --> 00:25:52,157
Okay, fine. You got a calling.
I got a calling, too.

442
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:53,786
- It's known as a baby.
- Yeah.

443
00:25:53,885 --> 00:25:57,833
I know. I like to think that that's like
another one of my callings, too.

444
00:25:57,923 --> 00:26:00,904
And you're gonna have to contribute,
you realize, eventually.

445
00:26:00,992 --> 00:26:02,198
- I realize.
- In person.

446
00:26:02,827 --> 00:26:06,274
Yes. In person.
I wouldn't want it any other way.

447
00:26:06,364 --> 00:26:09,402
Really? 'Cause I ain't so sure, Wolfgang.

448
00:26:09,501 --> 00:26:12,209
Maybe I can convince you.

449
00:26:16,608 --> 00:26:17,643
I didn't mean now.

450
00:26:17,742 --> 00:26:19,983
Come on. What's the matter with now?

451
00:26:20,078 --> 00:26:22,217
'Cause we have a house full of men.

452
00:26:22,314 --> 00:26:23,793
Just pretend they're not there.

453
00:26:26,284 --> 00:26:29,265
Okay, pretend that we don't care
that they're there.

454
00:26:29,454 --> 00:26:29,488


455
00:26:29,821 --> 00:26:30,799
I'm pretending.

456
00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:32,527
throughout much of the South West,

457
00:26:32,624 --> 00:26:34,900
spreading all the Wa y into
- North Wes t.

458
00:26:34,993 --> 00:26:36,904
Now, for those of you in the Southeast,

459
00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:39,475
Texas Will be experiencing
high Winds this morning,

460
00:26:39,564 --> 00:26:42,044
as this storm moves very quickly south

461
00:26:42,133 --> 00:26:43,612
into the Gulf of Mexico,'a.

462
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:46,740
If you Te planning to be
anywhere in the Gulf taday,

463
00:26:46,838 --> 00:26:48,374
better batten dawn the hatches.

464
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:51,386
We are talking about a storm
that may last for 72 hours.

465
00:26:51,509 --> 00:26:53,045
Look at these Weves, these Winds,

466
00:26:53,144 --> 00:26:54,817
- and strong storms.
- Fallout.

467
00:26:54,913 --> 00:26:57,917
- We are talking hurricane-farce Winds.
- Kenny.

468
00:26:58,950 --> 00:27:03,296
I know this is bad. I know this makes me
look like a world-class asshole,

469
00:27:03,388 --> 00:27:07,165
- but, babe, I gotta go.
- Kenny! Kenny!

470
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:12,968
Kenny!

471
00:27:13,064 --> 00:27:14,600
I'll call you!

472
00:27:26,111 --> 00:27:29,251
Bill? Don't say no. I'm going to Texas.
I'm getting on a plane right now.

473
00:27:29,347 --> 00:27:30,951
Texas? You just got back.

474
00:27:31,216 --> 00:27:34,322
Bill! There is going to be
major fallout in a few hours.

475
00:27:34,419 --> 00:27:36,922
- Nuclear fallout?
- Bird fallout.

476
00:27:37,222 --> 00:27:38,200
What are you talking about?

477
00:27:39,691 --> 00:27:41,295
I'm talking about a major storm
hitting the Gulf of Mexico

478
00:27:41,393 --> 00:27:42,633
in the middle of migration season.

479
00:27:42,727 --> 00:27:44,035
I'm talking about headwinds
and downpours

480
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,837
and a hundred thousand birds
literally dropping from the sky!

481
00:27:48,633 --> 00:27:50,078
I'll put it down as a sick day.

482
00:27:51,536 --> 00:27:52,537
- Stu.
- Hey.

483
00:27:52,637 --> 00:27:54,139
- Where you going?
- Texas.

484
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:57,914
Texas? Now? What about Mclntire?
How do we explain this?

485
00:27:58,943 --> 00:28:00,081
Act of God.

486
00:28:00,378 --> 00:28:04,019
Act of God? No! That's not gonna work!
Stop this car! Stop this car!

487
00:28:04,549 --> 00:28:06,358
Those damn birds!

488
00:28:08,453 --> 00:28:10,364
Stu arrived on the outskirts of
Houston

489
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:13,368
feeling liberated after skipping out an
his meeting in New York.

490
00:28:13,458 --> 00:28:15,529
I really believe I can win this thing.

491
00:28:16,094 --> 00:28:18,904
Bastick, not surprisingly,
was supremely confident.

492
00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:22,409
Yes! Yes!
I really think I've got this thing locked up.

493
00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:26,205
And I get to admit, I was feeling
that luck was an my side for a change.

494
00:28:26,304 --> 00:28:28,409
I'm starting to think I have a chance.

495
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:32,548
I had done the math.
I knew what spring fallout meant.

496
00:28:33,044 --> 00:28:35,854
A World record was Within my grasp.

497
00:28:47,392 --> 00:28:48,370
Whoa!

498
00:28:50,862 --> 00:28:52,205
Unbelievable.

499
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:56,938
Oh, my God.

500
00:29:08,313 --> 00:29:09,383
Faced with that headwind,

501
00:29:09,481 --> 00:29:11,483
they have to come down
at the first land they see,

502
00:29:11,583 --> 00:29:13,824
and that's right here.

503
00:29:13,918 --> 00:29:15,124
One thing's for sure,

504
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:19,168
today's happening is strictly
for the birds. Gretchen.

505
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:23,232
Come on, guys, get... Keep it moving!
Come on, we got a lot of birds to see.

506
00:29:23,328 --> 00:29:27,333
Bloody ass. Only Americans can
turn birding into a competition!

507
00:29:27,432 --> 00:29:30,038
That's right.
You don't want to miss this one!

508
00:29:30,135 --> 00:29:31,205
What?

509
00:29:43,515 --> 00:29:45,995
- Brad!
- Stu!

510
00:29:46,084 --> 00:29:47,563
I knew you'd be here. I was looking for you.

511
00:29:47,652 --> 00:29:49,131
- Me, too.
- This is incredible, isn't it?

512
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:50,198
I know. Where do we even start?

513
00:29:54,893 --> 00:29:58,363
There's the best birder in the world.
Maybe we should...

514
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:00,408
Follow him.

515
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:17,087
Prothonotary Warbler.

516
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:22,696
Gotcha.

517
00:30:25,890 --> 00:30:27,426
Oh! Blue grosbeak.

518
00:30:27,525 --> 00:30:28,731
It's a buffet.

519
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:31,168
Sa I play what the kids Wanna hear

520
00:30:31,262 --> 00:30:33,173
While I spange on Broadway

521
00:30:33,264 --> 00:30:35,744
Shine, let it shine

522
00:30:35,834 --> 00:30:38,906
Even if it bums your eyes

523
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:41,176
This fight of mine is mine

524
00:30:41,272 --> 00:30:43,616
And I'm gonna let it shine...

525
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:45,851
Ever get the feeling you're being followed?

526
00:30:46,477 --> 00:30:48,650
- Hello, master.
- How you doing, Stu?

527
00:30:48,813 --> 00:30:50,724
Still filling those weekends, I see.

528
00:30:50,815 --> 00:30:52,817
Unless you and your son here
are doing a Big Year.

529
00:30:54,052 --> 00:30:58,296
Oh! Kenny Bostick,
this is my friend Brad Harris.

530
00:30:58,389 --> 00:30:59,891
Who's also not doing a Big Year.

531
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:02,671
That's funny how
nobody's doing a Big Year.

532
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,001
Yeah. With all this fallout and El Nino.

533
00:31:05,096 --> 00:31:08,202
Yeah, I know, you'd think
the conditions are just set up perfect

534
00:31:08,299 --> 00:31:10,279
for someone to have a real shot at
breaking my record.

535
00:31:11,769 --> 00:31:12,747
- Not that record.
- Pink-footed goose!

536
00:31:13,104 --> 00:31:14,913
Pink-footed goose,
other end of the boardwalk.

537
00:31:15,740 --> 00:31:18,584
- What the hell's that doing here?
- Be careful!

538
00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:25,785
Hey, put her down!

539
00:31:27,051 --> 00:31:29,531
Hey, hey, please, let the explorers through!

540
00:31:30,154 --> 00:31:32,930
- Of course.
- Let's go, ladies. Jeesh.

541
00:31:33,191 --> 00:31:34,226
After you, kids.

542
00:31:34,559 --> 00:31:35,731
Get those badges.

543
00:31:36,027 --> 00:31:38,064
Chop, chop, chop, chop!
Step it up! Stepping lively!

544
00:31:39,530 --> 00:31:40,941
Move it along!

545
00:31:41,366 --> 00:31:42,344
Thank you.

546
00:31:50,508 --> 00:31:53,546
She took off. Headed north.
Probably be in Iceland by Friday.

547
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:55,591
Boy, she was a beaut, too!

548
00:31:56,614 --> 00:31:58,355
Hey, is that a Calliope?

549
00:31:58,449 --> 00:31:59,450
Nah.

550
00:31:59,550 --> 00:32:02,258
Sorry to disappoint you boys again.

551
00:32:10,828 --> 00:32:13,934
Good evening. Tonight's special is quail.
I highly recommend it.

552
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:18,273
- I couldn't.
- Yeah, not tonight.

553
00:32:18,369 --> 00:32:20,474
I'll have the halibut.

554
00:32:20,571 --> 00:32:22,608
And a bottle of this Montrachet.

555
00:32:22,707 --> 00:32:23,777
Of course.

556
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:26,981
And I will have the soup. Thank you.

557
00:32:29,547 --> 00:32:32,721
Really? After being outside all day
in the wind and rain?

558
00:32:33,551 --> 00:32:34,825
Kind of a light eater.

559
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,121
And the truth is

560
00:32:37,789 --> 00:32:40,167
the prices here are
a little steeper than I'm used to.

561
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:44,105
- Brad, I invited you to dinner.
- I know, but...

562
00:32:44,195 --> 00:32:46,072
No, it's my pleasure.

563
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:49,805
Look, when I'm birding,
I don't fly first class or hire guides.

564
00:32:49,901 --> 00:32:53,007
It's too much like corked bats
and steroids to me.

565
00:32:53,771 --> 00:32:57,014
But tonight we're celebrating.

566
00:32:57,108 --> 00:33:00,783
We saw 136 species!

567
00:33:01,379 --> 00:33:03,325
Brad, 136!

568
00:33:03,414 --> 00:33:04,449
Here's to them.

569
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:06,056
And to the one who got away.

570
00:33:06,217 --> 00:33:07,252
Pink-footed goose.

571
00:33:09,587 --> 00:33:10,725
The Montrachet.

572
00:33:11,923 --> 00:33:14,597
Good. And my friend would like to
see the menu again, please.

573
00:33:14,692 --> 00:33:16,194
Of course.

574
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:18,368
Cool.

575
00:33:18,463 --> 00:33:22,377
That shrimp scampi was calling my name,
if you must know.

576
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,242
- That's a little too much.
- Okay.

577
00:33:24,635 --> 00:33:27,673
By the end of the meal
I felt like I 'd known Stu for years.

578
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:30,809
It was rare to meet a birder
as absessed as I Was.

579
00:33:31,943 --> 00:33:33,923
And even rarer to meet one
who could pa y for dinner.

580
00:33:34,879 --> 00:33:36,654
I mean, I'm 36.

581
00:33:37,281 --> 00:33:38,521
I'm divorced.

582
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:40,921
I have a job I hate.

583
00:33:41,352 --> 00:33:44,663
I just want to do something big, you know?
Make my mark.

584
00:33:45,056 --> 00:33:46,262
So what are you gonna do?

585
00:33:47,358 --> 00:33:50,237
I'm working on something.

586
00:33:51,696 --> 00:33:53,039
My dad doesn't get it.

587
00:33:53,131 --> 00:33:55,771
He's had the same boring job for 40 years.

588
00:33:56,467 --> 00:33:59,038
"That's what people do," he says.

589
00:33:59,137 --> 00:34:00,810
He's right.

590
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:04,752
Most people just stay on the beaten path,
then one day,

591
00:34:04,842 --> 00:34:07,516
they wake up and realize they didn't do
everything they wanted to do.

592
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:10,526
Look at me. I was so afraid to retire,

593
00:34:10,615 --> 00:34:12,652
I had to do it twice
before I finally got out here.

594
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:14,155
Why'd you wait so long?

595
00:34:14,252 --> 00:34:16,129
'Cause I'm an idiot.

596
00:34:17,188 --> 00:34:19,065
Okay, I gotta tell you.

597
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:21,766
I'm doing a Big Year.

598
00:34:26,497 --> 00:34:27,567
Wow.

599
00:34:28,032 --> 00:34:29,272
I know.

600
00:34:31,235 --> 00:34:33,476
I don't know
what ma de me blurt it out like that.

601
00:34:33,571 --> 00:34:36,711
Confidence? Innocence? Alcohol?

602
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:39,946
If just never occurred to me
that Stu might be doing' his own Big' Year,

603
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:41,386
Don't tell anybody, okay?

604
00:34:43,548 --> 00:34:45,892
I guess I just assumed he'd be honest,

605
00:34:45,983 --> 00:34:48,589
Iguess I just assumed
honor and decency Wauld prevail.

606
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,361
I guess I just assumed We were friends.

607
00:34:52,056 --> 00:34:53,729
Mum's the word.

608
00:34:54,592 --> 00:34:56,799
- We won't have to eat for a week.
- I'm hurting.

609
00:34:57,962 --> 00:34:59,498
Great dinner.

610
00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:05,706
Good luck.

611
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:07,315
Thanks again.

612
00:35:08,673 --> 00:35:10,084
Hey, it's me,

613
00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:11,876
Mozart.

614
00:35:12,510 --> 00:35:16,720
The fallout's over and now I'm calling
to deal with the fallout from the fallout.

615
00:35:17,415 --> 00:35:20,555
Look, babe, I'm sorry,
I'm gonna make it up to you, you 'll see,

616
00:35:21,018 --> 00:35:22,224
I'm going ta...

617
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,958
Where are you, anyway? It's late there.

618
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:26,126
- I hope you Te aka y, babe.
- Oh! Where am I?

619
00:35:26,224 --> 00:35:30,502
I'm shooting hormones into my butt
so I can have your baby, Kenny.

620
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:34,702
Okay, I'm going to hit the sack here,
but I Will try you in the morning,

621
00:35:34,799 --> 00:35:37,040
and I'm gonna be launching a new thing
called Operation Sweep Her Off Her Feet.

622
00:35:38,769 --> 00:35:42,114
Sa, you might Want to get ready,
'cause it 's gonna be pretty spectacular.

623
00:35:42,607 --> 00:35:45,520
Okay? All right. Talk to you tam arrow.

624
00:35:46,177 --> 00:35:46,211


625
00:35:50,982 --> 00:35:53,462
Pomarine jaeger, nine o'clock!

626
00:36:04,128 --> 00:36:05,573
Brad.

627
00:36:06,631 --> 00:36:08,542
- Brad!
- No.

628
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:10,077
- Oh! Sorry.
- Sorry.

629
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:38,770
'Met a dapper White-haired _quy
who was really seasick

630
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:41,070
"an a pelagic near Coos Ba y.

631
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:42,769
"Got a peek at his list.

632
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:46,747
"Four hundred and ninety-seven species
as of Ma y 8.

633
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:48,748
'He's definitely doing a Big Year.

634
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,614
'If he doesn 't barf him self to death."

635
00:36:53,444 --> 00:36:56,357
I still feel like a heel.
Feel like I led him an.

636
00:36:56,447 --> 00:36:57,949
But I'm afraid
if he knew about my Big Year,

637
00:36:58,049 --> 00:36:59,824
Bostick'd get it out of him eventually.

638
00:37:00,084 --> 00:37:03,065
And why is it so important to
keep this secret from Bostick?

639
00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:04,565
Less competition he thinks he has,

640
00:37:04,655 --> 00:37:08,228
the more he's likely to throttle back,
not try so hard.

641
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:12,172
Not grind for the extra birds.
Maybe I could sneak past him.

642
00:37:13,097 --> 00:37:15,668
Do whatever it takes
to set that record, honey.

643
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:17,336
You know how much it means to me.

644
00:37:17,435 --> 00:37:20,041
I miss you, doll.

645
00:37:20,137 --> 00:37:21,741
What are you doing this weekend?

646
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:25,150
I could get us a room in Saint Paul,
not far from the Sax Zim Bog.

647
00:37:25,409 --> 00:37:30,256
Really! Not far from the bog.
Wow, you do know how to woo a girl.

648
00:37:32,883 --> 00:37:35,295
Ah! There's my friend Jim calling me.

649
00:37:35,386 --> 00:37:36,524
Uh-oh.

650
00:37:38,022 --> 00:37:39,763
I love you.

651
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:42,337
- Spot something rare for me.
- You know I Will.

652
00:37:44,428 --> 00:37:45,463
Hey, Jim.

653
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:49,969
Yeah, listen, talks broke down.
Deal was dead by 10:00. Over.

654
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:52,511
Total acrimony, On the Way out the door,

655
00:37:52,603 --> 00:37:56,210
we agreed to a do-or-die session, May 14th,

656
00:37:56,507 --> 00:37:57,986
here in New York in our offfce.

657
00:37:58,075 --> 00:37:59,520
I can't. Impossible.

658
00:37:59,910 --> 00:38:01,184
I'm

659
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,253
Attu, Alaska. And I can't miss the flight.
There's not another one for a week.

660
00:38:06,484 --> 00:38:08,327
Stu, you're not involved, the deal dies.

661
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:09,762
Look, you gave these people their jobs.

662
00:38:09,854 --> 00:38:11,424
If you don't do something,
they're gonna lose them!

663
00:38:11,522 --> 00:38:14,526
And that means a hell of a latmare
than some birds an A ttu.

664
00:38:17,628 --> 00:38:22,168
Attu. The Westernmast island
of the Aleutian chain.

665
00:38:22,533 --> 00:38:25,673
Sa far West, it's closer to Tokyo
than to Anchorage.

666
00:38:25,770 --> 00:38:30,310
There are no hotels, no phones,
no restaurants, no toilets.

667
00:38:30,408 --> 00:38:31,682
Not the kind that Hush, anyway,

668
00:38:32,810 --> 00:38:36,383
But for birders, A ttu was para diss.

669
00:38:36,781 --> 00:38:40,786
Nobody could hope to Win a Big Year
Without going to A ttu in May.

670
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:46,859
Mom's Taxi Service! I'm sorry I'm late.

671
00:38:47,224 --> 00:38:49,329
You're gonna be a little chilly in Alaska.

672
00:38:51,062 --> 00:38:52,541
I'm not going.

673
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:55,307
Stop packing. I'm serious! Mom!

674
00:38:55,399 --> 00:38:57,401
Are you upset because
you think you can't win,

675
00:38:57,501 --> 00:39:01,005
- or because he lied to you?
- Both. And what about Bostick?

676
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:02,206
Who?

677
00:39:02,306 --> 00:39:06,550
Kenny Bostick, the best birder in the world.
I think he might be doing another Big Year.

678
00:39:06,644 --> 00:39:07,850
What chance do I have?

679
00:39:07,945 --> 00:39:12,291
Oh, Brad, you have 486 birds.
You're on a record pace.

680
00:39:12,783 --> 00:39:14,763
You can't quit now!

681
00:39:15,219 --> 00:39:17,722
- Mom, my credit card is maxed out.
- No. No. No. No.

682
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:20,962
Even if I go to Alaska,
there's no way I can complete the year!

683
00:39:21,225 --> 00:39:23,296
This has a $6,000 limit.

684
00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:25,638
Bring me back some Alaska pictures.

685
00:39:25,730 --> 00:39:27,300
- No, Mom, I can't.
- No, no, no, no.

686
00:39:27,398 --> 00:39:29,400
Get dressed. Your plane leaves in an hour.

687
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:30,478
Don't piss off your travel agent.

688
00:39:34,171 --> 00:39:35,912
I had no idea this car could go this fast.

689
00:39:36,006 --> 00:39:37,576
If you miss this plane,

690
00:39:37,675 --> 00:39:39,018
there's not another one for a week.

691
00:39:39,110 --> 00:39:41,021
So, we gotta do it.

692
00:39:41,846 --> 00:39:43,723
Mom, Mom, Mom!

693
00:39:52,523 --> 00:39:54,833
- Welcome back, Mr. Preissler!
- Thank you.

694
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:56,268
Thanks for being here, Stu.

695
00:39:56,394 --> 00:40:00,069
I can give you four hours, that's it.
Then I've got to catch my flight to Alaska.

696
00:40:00,164 --> 00:40:01,837
- No problem.
- How was your trip?

697
00:40:01,932 --> 00:40:04,845
- Louisiana was spectacular.
- Lot of birds in the bayou.

698
00:40:04,935 --> 00:40:08,246
And saw a loggerhead shrike
from my hotel room in Natchitoches.

699
00:40:08,372 --> 00:40:09,510
Adorable!

700
00:40:09,607 --> 00:40:11,746
It imitates the songs of other birds
to lure them in close.

701
00:40:11,842 --> 00:40:12,820
Uh-huh.

702
00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:15,288
Then it impales them on thorns,
breaks their necks and eats them.

703
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:16,719
Yeesh!

704
00:40:16,814 --> 00:40:19,294
We'll assume the cost of
retrofitting the plants,

705
00:40:19,383 --> 00:40:21,021
but that still leaves
the non-compete clause.

706
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:22,426
Barry says you have an issue with it.

707
00:40:22,620 --> 00:40:25,658
No. it's not a big issue,
but I'm not like you, Stu.

708
00:40:25,756 --> 00:40:29,363
I'm not ready to hang it all up so I can
spend the rest of my life bird watching.

709
00:40:33,464 --> 00:40:35,671
it's called "birding," Rick.

710
00:40:36,233 --> 00:40:39,976
And there's no wiggle room here.
This is a deal-breaker for us.

711
00:40:41,205 --> 00:40:42,650
Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait.

712
00:40:43,407 --> 00:40:46,513
Four hours ago, you said
that everything was negotiable.

713
00:40:46,610 --> 00:40:49,352
What, was this just so you could
lure me in to finish me off?

714
00:40:54,351 --> 00:40:55,853
The shrike.

715
00:40:55,953 --> 00:40:58,524
It's 11:15.

716
00:40:58,622 --> 00:41:00,363
I should have left for the airport
15 minutes ago.

717
00:41:03,093 --> 00:41:05,630
All right. Stu!
Just wait, one second, please. One second.

718
00:41:07,631 --> 00:41:10,578
Let me talk to my people.
Just give me five minutes. Okay?

719
00:41:28,552 --> 00:41:32,261
Okay, Stu, 48 months and you got a deal.

720
00:41:32,957 --> 00:41:34,163
They'll shake.

721
00:41:34,258 --> 00:41:36,238
The Lexington side!
Okay, I'm coming out now!

722
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:37,738
Are you there?

723
00:41:38,996 --> 00:41:42,500
Come up! Pull up in front!
There's taxis there. Flash your lights!

724
00:41:48,739 --> 00:41:51,015
Go! Go, go, go, go!

725
00:41:59,383 --> 00:42:01,727
Kenny? This is Karen, my blushing bride.

726
00:42:01,819 --> 00:42:03,127
Attu's gonna be our honeymoon.

727
00:42:03,521 --> 00:42:04,591
Wow!

728
00:42:04,922 --> 00:42:06,492
Okay, now, Karen,
you're not a birder, are you?

729
00:42:06,957 --> 00:42:09,870
No. No, I'm just along for the ride.

730
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,874
Honeymoon on Attu.
That should be unforgettable.

731
00:42:14,164 --> 00:42:15,837
Yeah.

732
00:42:16,367 --> 00:42:18,677
Attu? What were you thinking?

733
00:42:21,839 --> 00:42:23,819
Come on, let's go!
What are we waiting for?

734
00:42:23,908 --> 00:42:26,252
The charter's sold out,
but two guys haven't shown up yet.

735
00:42:26,410 --> 00:42:27,582
I'm here!

736
00:42:28,579 --> 00:42:30,559
Okay, sorry. Sorry I'm late.

737
00:42:31,415 --> 00:42:34,157
Sorry. Sorry I'm late.

738
00:42:36,487 --> 00:42:37,659
Okay.

739
00:42:42,927 --> 00:42:44,235
Nice of you to join us.

740
00:42:55,906 --> 00:42:57,852
You're Stu's little sidekick, aren't you?

741
00:42:57,942 --> 00:43:02,015
Oh, yeah, me and Stu are like that.
I know all his secrets.

742
00:43:02,146 --> 00:43:03,955
Yeah? Cookie?

743
00:43:04,715 --> 00:43:05,750
Yeah, thanks.

744
00:43:08,686 --> 00:43:10,461
All his secrets.

745
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:13,595
Apparently, he's doing a Big Year. Oops.

746
00:43:14,124 --> 00:43:16,001
He probably wouldn't
want you to know that.

747
00:43:25,769 --> 00:43:26,804
What's his total?

748
00:43:27,037 --> 00:43:28,914
By now? Over 500.

749
00:43:31,809 --> 00:43:33,220
Hey! Hey!

750
00:43:34,211 --> 00:43:35,690
Hey! Hey!

751
00:43:36,580 --> 00:43:38,218
Gives him a shot at your record, doesn't it?

752
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:40,825
Yeah. Yeah, that...

753
00:43:42,219 --> 00:43:43,755
He's a pretty spry old guy.

754
00:43:43,854 --> 00:43:46,130
He's definitely got a shot at my record.

755
00:43:46,223 --> 00:43:49,033
Of course, he probably would have had
a better shot if he had made this flight.

756
00:43:59,436 --> 00:44:01,279
Oh, God.

757
00:44:02,539 --> 00:44:04,246
- What's your total?
- Hmm?

758
00:44:04,341 --> 00:44:05,718
What's your total?

759
00:44:05,809 --> 00:44:07,254
- I'm not doing a Big Year.
- No?

760
00:44:07,344 --> 00:44:08,550
Mmm-mmm.

761
00:44:09,179 --> 00:44:10,920
Another cookie?

762
00:44:11,015 --> 00:44:12,585
No, one's my limit.

763
00:44:15,686 --> 00:44:15,720


764
00:44:26,263 --> 00:44:28,971
The pilot says this is a Siberian storm?

765
00:44:29,133 --> 00:44:32,740
Attu Island, meet El Nino.
Makes for great birding.

766
00:44:40,444 --> 00:44:41,684
Oh, my God!

767
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:11,376
Nice job up there
in the cockpit! Way to go, guys! Attu!

768
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:31,696
Bostick!

769
00:45:33,630 --> 00:45:35,507
Welcome, birders, to Attu.

770
00:45:36,133 --> 00:45:38,477
Welcam e, birders, to A ttu.

771
00:45:41,438 --> 00:45:43,247
Let's take this spot. Go right in here.
In here.

772
00:45:43,340 --> 00:45:44,512
Okay. Yeah.

773
00:45:44,608 --> 00:45:45,643
I'll take the top.

774
00:45:45,743 --> 00:45:46,813
Yeah.

775
00:45:50,414 --> 00:45:52,860
Welcome to the honeymoon suite!

776
00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:54,588
Unforgettable.

777
00:45:56,553 --> 00:45:57,657
Wally, how are you?

778
00:45:57,888 --> 00:45:59,333
Hey, Bostick.

779
00:46:00,190 --> 00:46:01,931
That old Attu air.

780
00:46:06,730 --> 00:46:07,902
How you doing, Dolores?

781
00:46:07,998 --> 00:46:08,976
Mrs. Suzuki.

782
00:46:19,643 --> 00:46:20,621
Yeah.

783
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:34,732
Oh, yeah. Here they are.

784
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:38,206
Now I'm in Attu.

785
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,802
Prime real estate.

786
00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:46,542
Okay.

787
00:47:00,484 --> 00:47:04,193
I've only been here a week,
and my life list is already at 578.

788
00:47:04,288 --> 00:47:05,266
- You want to see?
- Are you serious?

789
00:47:05,355 --> 00:47:06,333
- Yeah.
- I'd love to.

790
00:47:06,490 --> 00:47:09,334
- That is the American...
- That's so beautiful.

791
00:47:09,426 --> 00:47:10,427
Yeah, golden plover.

792
00:47:10,527 --> 00:47:12,097
You guys have the same eyes.

793
00:47:12,196 --> 00:47:13,174
Rustic bunting.

794
00:47:13,263 --> 00:47:15,004
- Excuse me.
- Massacre Valley.

795
00:47:16,133 --> 00:47:17,612
Rustic bunting.

796
00:47:18,602 --> 00:47:20,138
- Coming through.
- Hurry!

797
00:47:20,971 --> 00:47:23,247
- Massacre Valley, come on!
- Let's go, let's go!

798
00:47:24,741 --> 00:47:26,880
- Just follow us!
- The south side trail.

799
00:47:29,913 --> 00:47:31,620
Kenny! Rustic bunting!

800
00:47:32,115 --> 00:47:33,753
Really? I'll catch up to you.

801
00:47:52,135 --> 00:47:53,341
Go back!

802
00:47:53,437 --> 00:47:57,044
Go back, you guys!
The bunting flew back toward Casco Cove!

803
00:47:58,442 --> 00:48:00,922
The other way!
The rustic bunting is up there!

804
00:48:01,445 --> 00:48:04,051
Bunting's gone up the hill!
Turn around, turn around!

805
00:48:04,348 --> 00:48:06,885
The bunting flew down the hill! Go back!

806
00:48:07,517 --> 00:48:08,495
- What?
- Go ba ck!

807
00:48:08,585 --> 00:48:10,861
No, the bunting flew down the hill!

808
00:48:11,722 --> 00:48:15,067
Gladys, We finally
found the hunting. It's at Murder Paint.

809
00:48:18,161 --> 00:48:22,303
Bastick had adapted a technique
perfected by deviaus birds like the skua.

810
00:48:23,834 --> 00:48:28,044
He let others do the qrunt Work,
then seized the spoils.

811
00:48:35,178 --> 00:48:37,158
There's an
eyebrowed thrush back here.

812
00:48:41,952 --> 00:48:43,590
- There it is!
- Where?

813
00:49:03,740 --> 00:49:04,946
Oh, hey, everybody.

814
00:49:09,513 --> 00:49:10,548
Bostick.

815
00:49:25,595 --> 00:49:28,974
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

816
00:49:29,066 --> 00:49:32,411
Human ca valry chairs are singing

817
00:49:32,502 --> 00:49:35,779
Be my mirror, my sword and shield

818
00:49:35,872 --> 00:49:39,217
My missionaries in a foreign field

819
00:49:39,309 --> 00:49:42,756
For some reason I can't explain

820
00:49:42,846 --> 00:49:46,089
I know Saint Peter Wan 't call my name

821
00:49:46,183 --> 00:49:49,357
Never an honest Ward

822
00:49:49,453 --> 00:49:52,957
But that was when I ruled the World

823
00:49:53,657 --> 00:49:56,001
Jason, just so our viewers
can take precautions here,

824
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:57,868
haw severe is this storm going to be?

825
00:49:57,961 --> 00:49:59,634
In one WanL
it's going to be intense.

826
00:49:59,730 --> 00:50:01,539
We ire expecting' a frem endous
amount of snow,

827
00:50:02,699 --> 00:50:04,269
lt7l be tough out there for man or beast.

828
00:50:04,368 --> 00:50:06,075
But you were
telling me a moment ago,

829
00:50:06,169 --> 00:50:07,648
there are at least a few people

830
00:50:07,738 --> 00:50:09,718
happy about this Siberian storm, right?

831
00:50:09,806 --> 00:50:13,185
I can tell you that the birders
over at A ttu are going to love it.

832
00:50:13,276 --> 00:50:16,849
Sa far they've spotted such rarities
as a pin-tailed snipe

833
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:18,957
and an Oriental greenfinch.

834
00:50:19,049 --> 00:50:20,653
Snipe and greenfinch.

835
00:50:20,751 --> 00:50:23,493
And these are birds that nobody 's seen
in North America for how long?

836
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:28,332
- Ten, 20, 30 years?
- Thirty years at least. If ever.

837
00:50:28,425 --> 00:50:30,405
Andhn happy if I can spat a pigeon.

838
00:50:57,854 --> 00:50:59,197
Hey, Brad!

839
00:51:00,123 --> 00:51:01,466
I made it!

840
00:51:01,558 --> 00:51:04,095
Boy, oh, boy,
are you a sore for sight eyes, huh?

841
00:51:04,895 --> 00:51:05,965
I was just headed out.

842
00:51:17,140 --> 00:51:18,676
I wanted to tell you,

843
00:51:18,775 --> 00:51:21,585
but Bostick has a way of getting
information out of people.

844
00:51:21,678 --> 00:51:23,783
Yeah, I guess he's not the only one.

845
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:26,254
I didn't get it out of you, Brad.
You offered it to me.

846
00:51:26,349 --> 00:51:30,320
Oh, come on! You bought me drinks
and got what you wanted!

847
00:51:33,790 --> 00:51:35,360
That's not why I asked you to dinner.

848
00:51:36,226 --> 00:51:37,432
I told you about my wife.

849
00:51:37,861 --> 00:51:39,499
My fear of retirement.

850
00:51:39,596 --> 00:51:41,633
You think I'd discuss that stuff
with just anybody?

851
00:51:41,731 --> 00:51:45,440
Nope. Just the people you think
are doing a Big Year.

852
00:51:45,902 --> 00:51:46,972
Brad, listen.

853
00:51:47,070 --> 00:51:49,050
You were ready to talk about your Big Year.

854
00:51:49,139 --> 00:51:51,676
I wasn't ready to talk about mine.
That's all it was.

855
00:51:51,908 --> 00:51:53,546
Have you checked your messages lately?

856
00:51:53,944 --> 00:51:55,321
Up here?

857
00:51:56,079 --> 00:51:57,319
What, are you kidding me?

858
00:51:57,981 --> 00:52:01,690
I left a full confession five days ago.

859
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:05,899
I felt bad.

860
00:52:07,290 --> 00:52:08,291
Really?

861
00:52:09,759 --> 00:52:11,102
I'm sorry.

862
00:52:14,097 --> 00:52:15,371
Okay.

863
00:52:16,633 --> 00:52:19,079
I guess I have a confession to make, too.

864
00:52:21,538 --> 00:52:23,484
You told Bostick, didn't you?

865
00:52:23,573 --> 00:52:24,608
Yes. Sorry.

866
00:52:25,242 --> 00:52:26,880
Oh, well.

867
00:52:27,344 --> 00:52:30,086
Is it true this was the greatest week
in Attu history?

868
00:52:31,548 --> 00:52:34,028
Yeah. But the birds are still here.

869
00:52:34,417 --> 00:52:37,125
Unless there's a freak blizzard,
you'll still get to see them.

870
00:52:51,701 --> 00:52:53,203
Sorry about the freak blizzard.

871
00:52:54,738 --> 00:52:56,581
I shouldn't have said there's gonna be
a freak blizzard.

872
00:52:56,673 --> 00:52:57,913
That jinxed it.

873
00:53:00,810 --> 00:53:02,790
No, that's the thing.
We couldn't figure it out.

874
00:53:02,879 --> 00:53:07,191
What's a bird who only eats mosquitoes
doing in Wisconsin in February?

875
00:53:07,350 --> 00:53:09,159
Then we found it. On the porch.

876
00:53:09,553 --> 00:53:13,763
Bug zapper, with a 12-month supply
of freeze-dried mosquitoes in its tray.

877
00:53:15,759 --> 00:53:17,397
That little sucker was in heaven.

878
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:20,872
How about the most tropical bird
you've seen this year?

879
00:53:20,964 --> 00:53:22,841
Western spindalis, Key West.

880
00:53:23,166 --> 00:53:24,338
Hardest to find.

881
00:53:24,568 --> 00:53:25,672
Rufous-capped Warbler.

882
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,978
Perched on a toilet brush
in a cabin near EI Paso.

883
00:53:31,208 --> 00:53:33,051
I almost wish I didn't see that one.

884
00:53:33,310 --> 00:53:34,288
One that got away.

885
00:53:36,279 --> 00:53:38,122
That's easy. Snowy owl.

886
00:53:38,215 --> 00:53:40,752
I just can't seem to nail that sucker!

887
00:53:40,850 --> 00:53:43,262
I've been out six times this year
and I still haven't gotten one.

888
00:53:43,353 --> 00:53:44,764
Six trips to see one bird.

889
00:53:45,522 --> 00:53:47,593
That sounds an awful lot
like a man doing a Big Year.

890
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,167
It takes one to know one, right, Stu?

891
00:53:53,863 --> 00:53:57,606
Cheers. Of course, then again,
maybe I just love to bird.

892
00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:00,604


893
00:54:10,180 --> 00:54:12,023
- What do you got?
- Bald eagle.

894
00:54:12,115 --> 00:54:14,789
Big deal! We all got one five months ago.

895
00:54:15,051 --> 00:54:16,462
It's got a lady friend.

896
00:54:17,187 --> 00:54:20,634
Of all courtship rituals
in the animal kingdom,

897
00:54:20,724 --> 00:54:23,728
the mast spectacular by far
is that of the bald eagle.

898
00:54:24,361 --> 00:54:27,342
The male and female climb
to dizzying heights

899
00:54:27,664 --> 00:54:28,836
and then...

900
00:54:33,336 --> 00:54:35,475
...fain in free fall

901
00:54:35,572 --> 00:54:37,017
plummesting toward earth,

902
00:54:37,140 --> 00:54:38,915
lacked in each ather's embrace,

903
00:54:39,409 --> 00:54:42,390
separating only at the very last moment.

904
00:54:44,914 --> 00:54:46,393
God, I miss Edith.

905
00:54:48,285 --> 00:54:50,231
Yeah, I kind of miss Jess.

906
00:55:16,346 --> 00:55:17,324
Oh, hey.

907
00:55:18,281 --> 00:55:20,818
Oh! it's the man with the golden ear.

908
00:55:21,384 --> 00:55:23,694
- Yep.
- I thought you were just lucky last time,

909
00:55:23,787 --> 00:55:28,236
but word has it around the barracks
that you're something of an idiot savant.

910
00:55:28,758 --> 00:55:29,736
Without the "idiot" part.

911
00:55:31,227 --> 00:55:34,265
No, no, that's... I'm an idiot.

912
00:55:35,432 --> 00:55:36,433
It's true.

913
00:55:36,966 --> 00:55:39,537
Okay, let me see if I can try to stump you.

914
00:55:39,636 --> 00:55:40,706
Okay.

915
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:46,414
Greater roadrunner.

916
00:55:46,743 --> 00:55:48,313
Yep. Not bad. Okay.

917
00:55:53,583 --> 00:55:56,029
Come on. Easy. Common raven.

918
00:55:56,453 --> 00:55:58,831
Let's take it to the next level.

919
00:55:59,022 --> 00:56:01,229
Okay. All right, you asked for it.

920
00:56:07,263 --> 00:56:10,301
Oh, yeah. Audubon oriole?

921
00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:12,270
Oh, yeah, wow.

922
00:56:12,369 --> 00:56:16,317
That, in my opinion,
is the most beautiful girl...

923
00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:21,784
Bird in the world.

924
00:56:26,683 --> 00:56:30,460
Is it true that you have
a life list of 578 birds?

925
00:56:31,388 --> 00:56:33,334
Yeah! Yeah.

926
00:56:34,023 --> 00:56:37,835
My mom thinks that my obsession
with birds is ruining my life.

927
00:56:37,994 --> 00:56:39,166
Tell me about it.

928
00:56:39,262 --> 00:56:42,175
My dad even blames the birds
for my wife leaving.

929
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:45,871
But what does he know?

930
00:56:45,969 --> 00:56:48,279
I mean, that's not why.

931
00:56:49,038 --> 00:56:50,984
We had other issues. But...

932
00:56:53,009 --> 00:56:54,784
- It was the birds.
- It was the birds.

933
00:56:56,112 --> 00:56:56,146


934
00:57:04,921 --> 00:57:07,026
Hey. How did it go?

935
00:57:08,658 --> 00:57:11,298
It kind of bogged down
when I got to talking about my ex-wife.

936
00:57:12,228 --> 00:57:13,730
I know, I know!

937
00:57:15,698 --> 00:57:18,679
That's about the top of the list
of the fifty worst pickup lines.

938
00:57:18,768 --> 00:57:21,180
Yeah. "Hi. I'm divorced.

939
00:57:21,638 --> 00:57:25,313
"Didn't go so good,
but I got a good feeling about this one."

940
00:57:25,408 --> 00:57:26,386
Oh, boy.

941
00:57:28,211 --> 00:57:30,020
EW! What is that smell?

942
00:57:30,113 --> 00:57:33,094
The good doctors are whipping up
a homemade batch of bird bait.

943
00:57:33,383 --> 00:57:35,693
We've been fermenting it out back
since we got here.

944
00:57:36,252 --> 00:57:38,459
It's like crack cocaine to the gulls.

945
00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:42,563
What are you doing? This is my scarf!

946
00:57:42,659 --> 00:57:43,729
Oh, sorry.

947
00:57:44,093 --> 00:57:45,731
This scarf is from Bergdorf's!

948
00:57:45,995 --> 00:57:49,033
This scarf cost $250!

949
00:57:49,833 --> 00:57:51,278
- I wouldn't go out there if I...
- Shut up!

950
00:57:52,168 --> 00:57:53,511
Look at my scarf!

951
00:57:56,139 --> 00:57:57,584
This should be fun.

952
00:58:05,381 --> 00:58:06,655
Oh, no! No!

953
00:58:08,651 --> 00:58:10,995
- Get away!
- Honey? Throw it away!

954
00:58:11,221 --> 00:58:12,495
- Go...
- Get away!

955
00:58:13,056 --> 00:58:14,933
Don't take my scarf! Give it back to me!

956
00:58:18,962 --> 00:58:20,066
Hitchcockian.

957
00:58:29,072 --> 00:58:30,642
What's he doing up there?

958
00:58:32,675 --> 00:58:36,521
- How many do you think he has?
- I wouldn't guess.

959
00:58:36,613 --> 00:58:38,615
But you know what?

960
00:58:38,715 --> 00:58:40,126
That's not the point.

961
00:58:41,317 --> 00:58:43,263
We can't take our eyes off the ball.

962
00:58:43,353 --> 00:58:45,594
You think he lets anything slow him down?

963
00:58:46,890 --> 00:58:49,097
I made work my priority
and I missed the boat.

964
00:58:49,192 --> 00:58:51,001
You got your feelings hurt
and you almost quit!

965
00:58:51,728 --> 00:58:52,763
No more, Brad.

966
00:58:52,862 --> 00:58:55,103
Think like him, act like him.

967
00:58:55,331 --> 00:58:57,174
One of us has to beat this SOB!

968
00:58:57,433 --> 00:58:59,470
Yeah. Yeah!

969
00:59:00,803 --> 00:59:02,146
And here's what you do about Ellie!

970
00:59:02,405 --> 00:59:03,850
I don't think I'm ready.

971
00:59:04,007 --> 00:59:05,645
Tell her you want
to exchange phone numbers

972
00:59:05,742 --> 00:59:07,551
in case there's a rare sighting this summer.

973
00:59:07,710 --> 00:59:09,656
I said I'm not ready!

974
00:59:10,446 --> 00:59:12,153
But that is a really good idea.

975
00:59:13,950 --> 00:59:15,190
Thanks.

976
00:59:16,152 --> 00:59:17,495
Good luck, Stu.

977
00:59:21,791 --> 00:59:22,792
Whoo!

978
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:35,713
KCOMEFL YA WA YPLAYING)

979
00:59:38,341 --> 00:59:42,221
In the next eight Weeks,
I tra veled 14,000 miles across 21 states

980
00:59:42,312 --> 00:59:44,155
and saw 56 new birds.

981
00:59:46,449 --> 00:59:48,725
I also ate about 300 bags of pretzels

982
00:59:48,818 --> 00:59:51,355
and maxed out seven credit cards,
including my mam 's,

983
00:59:51,888 --> 00:59:53,595
but man, that was an awesome summer.

984
00:59:53,690 --> 00:59:58,730
Sa came, Hyaway

985
00:59:58,828 --> 01:00:04,608
Through the clouds into the sun
Far a Wa y from everyone

986
01:00:04,701 --> 01:00:09,116
Came, Hyaway

987
01:00:09,205 --> 01:00:11,879
When We get above the rain

988
01:00:11,975 --> 01:00:16,685
They are all sunny days

989
01:00:18,982 --> 01:00:21,155
A -Well-a, everybody 's beard about the bird

990
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:22,820
Bird bird bird...

991
01:00:22,919 --> 01:00:23,954
Hello. Hi.

992
01:00:24,053 --> 01:00:26,659
You know that pink-footed goose
that you missed in Texas?

993
01:00:27,423 --> 01:00:29,494
Guess what just showed up here in Boston.

994
01:00:31,060 --> 01:00:32,038
Really?

995
01:00:39,936 --> 01:00:42,439
You know how you look forward
to something happening for a long time

996
01:00:42,538 --> 01:00:44,017
and then suddenly it is happening

997
01:00:44,107 --> 01:00:46,951
and now you ire not sure
if you ire even ready for it to happen?

998
01:00:48,177 --> 01:00:51,181
That's how I felt about seeing... that goose.

999
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,258
Ellie!

1000
01:00:53,249 --> 01:00:54,421
- Hey.
- Hi.

1001
01:00:55,985 --> 01:00:56,963
How's your Big Year going?

1002
01:00:57,053 --> 01:00:59,624
I don't want to jinx it,
but it's going very, very good.

1003
01:00:59,722 --> 01:01:01,895
I saw a flamingo in the Everglades
last week.

1004
01:01:01,991 --> 01:01:02,969
Wow!

1005
01:01:03,059 --> 01:01:04,868
Got about a thousand mosquito bites,
but it was worth it.

1006
01:01:06,396 --> 01:01:09,070
Doing a Big Year and working full-time?

1007
01:01:09,699 --> 01:01:10,905
I really admire that, Brad.

1008
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,379
You know what I admire?
That you're not doing a Big Year.

1009
01:01:14,470 --> 01:01:16,143
- Why?
- Because it's pure!

1010
01:01:16,239 --> 01:01:18,583
It's all about the love of birds for you.

1011
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:20,154
How do you know I'm not doing a Big Year?

1012
01:01:25,148 --> 01:01:27,185
You left it there? You're brave.

1013
01:01:27,583 --> 01:01:29,585
But Darren's driving.

1014
01:01:29,686 --> 01:01:31,723
- Nice. Darren?
- My boyfriend?

1015
01:01:31,821 --> 01:01:33,732
- Ah!
- Darren, this is Brad.

1016
01:01:33,823 --> 01:01:35,700
Welcome to Boston, bro.

1017
01:01:37,193 --> 01:01:42,336
So, Ellie tells me you guys are going
to look for a... What is it, a pink goose?

1018
01:01:42,899 --> 01:01:45,175
- No, it's not...
- Nope. Not a pink goose.

1019
01:01:45,334 --> 01:01:47,211
No such thing as a pink goose.

1020
01:01:47,303 --> 01:01:49,044
It's a pink-footed goose, so...

1021
01:01:49,138 --> 01:01:51,618
If I came to see a pink goose,
then I guess this whole trip

1022
01:01:51,708 --> 01:01:53,153
would have been a big waste of time,
wouldn't it?

1023
01:01:53,242 --> 01:01:55,085
"Pink goose."

1024
01:01:55,545 --> 01:01:57,422
Maybe there's a purple swan out there, too.

1025
01:01:58,514 --> 01:01:59,754
Let's go!

1026
01:02:00,249 --> 01:02:02,422
You want to hear the punch line?

1027
01:02:02,518 --> 01:02:04,520
The pink-footed goose
had already skipped town.

1028
01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:05,598
We'll qet it one day.

1029
01:02:07,090 --> 01:02:08,592
Brad, Edith had a boyfriend
when I first met her.

1030
01:02:08,691 --> 01:02:12,161
You never know. The final chapter
might not be written with Ellie.

1031
01:02:12,295 --> 01:02:13,273
Yeah.

1032
01:02:13,796 --> 01:02:15,139
Thanks, Stu.

1033
01:02:17,734 --> 01:02:21,978
The Week that Stu missed an Attu
was costly. He 'd fallen Wa y behind.

1034
01:02:22,371 --> 01:02:25,580
But ha ck on the mainland,
there was news that changed everything,

1035
01:02:27,877 --> 01:02:28,912
- Hey.
- Hey.

1036
01:02:30,913 --> 01:02:32,415
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

1037
01:02:33,416 --> 01:02:35,123
- Come see.
- Can't wait.

1038
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:40,096
- Wow. He's adorable.
- Hey, Grandpa.

1039
01:02:41,424 --> 01:02:42,767
What's his name?

1040
01:02:43,359 --> 01:02:44,337
No one told you?

1041
01:02:44,660 --> 01:02:46,662
All I heard was you hadn't decided yet.

1042
01:02:46,763 --> 01:02:49,334
Name's Stuart, Dad. Call him Stu.

1043
01:02:52,969 --> 01:02:53,947
Really?

1044
01:02:55,571 --> 01:02:56,675
Well, that's something.

1045
01:02:57,140 --> 01:02:59,313
- You want to hold him?
- Yeah.

1046
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:00,980
Hey.

1047
01:03:01,811 --> 01:03:03,154
- Hold his head.
- I remember.

1048
01:03:07,350 --> 01:03:09,660
Stu! Stu!

1049
01:03:10,086 --> 01:03:13,158
How you doing? How you doing?

1050
01:03:13,689 --> 01:03:15,828
Hey, you don't want to look at big face?

1051
01:03:18,261 --> 01:03:19,763
Hey, buddy.

1052
01:03:20,029 --> 01:03:22,441
Hey. Hey, buddy.

1053
01:03:22,899 --> 01:03:25,004
Ain't he cute? So cute.

1054
01:03:29,238 --> 01:03:30,808
Spotted something rare for you.

1055
01:03:32,175 --> 01:03:34,280
Hey, buddy. You want to go birding?

1056
01:03:35,545 --> 01:03:38,048
Huh? Want to do the rumba?

1057
01:03:42,318 --> 01:03:43,524
Taxi!

1058
01:03:44,587 --> 01:03:45,565
JFK.

1059
01:03:47,723 --> 01:03:48,701
Bye.

1060
01:03:53,996 --> 01:03:55,441
In the days that followed

1061
01:03:55,965 --> 01:03:57,569
it proved harder than
Stu could ha ve guessed

1062
01:03:57,667 --> 01:03:59,544
to resume his Big Year.

1063
01:03:59,869 --> 01:04:05,012
Everywhere he Went, in Des Moines
and Yosemite, and Galveston,

1064
01:04:05,508 --> 01:04:07,715
he began to see hints of his own mortality.

1065
01:04:08,711 --> 01:04:10,987
Even in a blade of grass.

1066
01:04:12,348 --> 01:04:14,123
He missed his Wife.

1067
01:04:16,185 --> 01:04:19,064
He missed his family.

1068
01:04:21,524 --> 01:04:25,973
Was his migrating instinct Waning at last?

1069
01:04:28,164 --> 01:04:30,303
Was his Big Year really just a big mistake?

1070
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:31,735


1071
01:04:33,970 --> 01:04:36,348
Blue-footed booby! Orcas Island, right?

1072
01:04:39,942 --> 01:04:40,920
- Hey.
- How many?

1073
01:04:41,010 --> 01:04:42,387
You might want to sit down.

1074
01:04:42,478 --> 01:04:44,480
Edith gave me a pep talk last month.

1075
01:04:46,382 --> 01:04:47,360
707.

1076
01:04:49,385 --> 01:04:50,363
You?

1077
01:04:50,553 --> 01:04:51,623
715.

1078
01:04:52,588 --> 01:04:55,034
You're not bad at the pep talks yourself.

1079
01:04:55,124 --> 01:04:57,832
- Me and my big mouth.
- How many?

1080
01:05:00,630 --> 01:05:01,631
715.

1081
01:05:01,764 --> 01:05:04,142
Wow! Welcome to the 700 Club, kid.

1082
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:05,970
That is rarefied air.

1083
01:05:06,535 --> 01:05:08,446
Of course, it's this old-timer
we got to worry about.

1084
01:05:08,537 --> 01:05:10,210
- What's your number?
- You don't want to know.

1085
01:05:10,306 --> 01:05:12,377
- I do. Scare me.
- How about 730?

1086
01:05:14,777 --> 01:05:15,949
Really?

1087
01:05:16,445 --> 01:05:19,392
Wow, and here I thought I was
the bomb at 728.

1088
01:05:19,482 --> 01:05:22,258
Hey, hang in there. You still got a shot.

1089
01:05:22,351 --> 01:05:25,958
Yeah. Thank you for that reassuring
pat on my shoulder.

1090
01:05:26,055 --> 01:05:27,329
All right, have a good day.

1091
01:05:27,957 --> 01:05:30,198
I just wanted to wipe that cocky grin
off his face.

1092
01:05:30,293 --> 01:05:32,773
You did that. He looked like
he'd just read his own obituary.

1093
01:05:32,862 --> 01:05:34,068
And we got his total.

1094
01:05:34,163 --> 01:05:35,642
Okay, yes, okay! Okay!

1095
01:05:35,731 --> 01:05:37,870
But I think you just woke a sleeping dog.

1096
01:05:38,668 --> 01:05:40,978
Yeah, yeah, we're getting on the boat.

1097
01:05:41,070 --> 01:05:42,481
Excuse me. Excuse me.

1098
01:05:42,571 --> 01:05:44,141
Did our friend just say where he was going?

1099
01:05:44,540 --> 01:05:46,816
He wanted directions
to the Skagit Wildlife Area.

1100
01:05:48,077 --> 01:05:49,249
Blue-footed booby's on the move.

1101
01:05:55,451 --> 01:05:56,691
This is me.

1102
01:06:20,343 --> 01:06:21,321
No bird.

1103
01:06:22,211 --> 01:06:23,246
And no Bostick.

1104
01:06:23,546 --> 01:06:26,390
NARBA says the blue-footed booby's
still on the island.

1105
01:06:27,984 --> 01:06:30,021
And we just missed the last ferry.

1106
01:06:33,522 --> 01:06:34,933
You know the beauty of it?

1107
01:06:35,358 --> 01:06:38,532
He never lied to us.
He never even spoke to us.

1108
01:06:39,829 --> 01:06:41,536
The man's a genius.

1109
01:06:43,165 --> 01:06:45,304
728!

1110
01:06:45,468 --> 01:06:48,108
He's a machine. He's a birding machine.

1111
01:06:50,239 --> 01:06:51,718
Unless he was bluffing, too.

1112
01:06:52,475 --> 01:06:53,681
Or cheating.

1113
01:06:57,113 --> 01:06:58,353
Maybe he just wants it more.

1114
01:06:58,447 --> 01:06:59,653
Oh, screw that!

1115
01:07:00,116 --> 01:07:02,596
I've spent 10 months of my life on this,
and every penny I have.

1116
01:07:02,685 --> 01:07:05,291
There is no way he wants it more than me!

1117
01:07:09,458 --> 01:07:12,132
Remember when you said
one of us has to beat this SOB?

1118
01:07:13,863 --> 01:07:14,841
Maybe we should...

1119
01:07:15,064 --> 01:07:16,042
Team up.

1120
01:07:19,568 --> 01:07:20,546
Team up!

1121
01:07:22,838 --> 01:07:26,786
I can't look at the rocket launch

1122
01:07:26,876 --> 01:07:29,550
The trophy Wives of the astronauts

1123
01:07:29,645 --> 01:07:33,058
And I Wan 't listen to their Wards

1124
01:07:33,149 --> 01:07:35,322
'Cause I like

1125
01:07:35,418 --> 01:07:36,419
Birds

1126
01:07:43,692 --> 01:07:46,935
I don't care for Walking' downtown

1127
01:07:47,029 --> 01:07:50,977
Crazy autocar gonna mow me down

1128
01:07:51,067 --> 01:07:53,638
Look at all the people like cows in a herd

1129
01:07:53,736 --> 01:07:56,216
Well I like

1130
01:07:56,305 --> 01:07:57,340
Birds

1131
01:08:01,444 --> 01:08:03,549
I'm exhausted. I couldn't take another step.

1132
01:08:05,114 --> 01:08:06,092
Sandhill crane!

1133
01:08:07,149 --> 01:08:08,287
Oh, shit!

1134
01:08:09,952 --> 01:08:10,930
You took him up?

1135
01:08:11,654 --> 01:08:12,928
Okay. Thanks, Gil.

1136
01:08:14,957 --> 01:08:16,595
Bostick saw snowcocks.

1137
01:08:16,692 --> 01:08:18,729
I can't afford snowcocks!

1138
01:08:19,695 --> 01:08:21,231
Snowcocks are on me.

1139
01:08:22,331 --> 01:08:25,278
- I can't even afford this beer.
- That's on me, too.

1140
01:08:26,435 --> 01:08:28,142
You ever been in a helicopter?

1141
01:08:28,237 --> 01:08:29,215
Ah!

1142
01:08:35,044 --> 01:08:37,888
So, how long until we see some
Himalayan snowcocks?

1143
01:08:39,014 --> 01:08:41,016
You never know. it's a matter of luck.

1144
01:08:45,221 --> 01:08:47,223
Do we have to fly
this close to the mountains?

1145
01:08:47,456 --> 01:08:49,527
Close? This isn't close.
You want to see close?

1146
01:08:49,625 --> 01:08:50,763
No. No, no, no, no, no!

1147
01:08:54,530 --> 01:08:55,508
Whoa!

1148
01:09:06,942 --> 01:09:07,920
All right, there, there, there!

1149
01:09:08,010 --> 01:09:09,853
Himalayan just cleared the ridge!
You see it?

1150
01:09:09,945 --> 01:09:10,923
- No!
- No!

1151
01:09:11,013 --> 01:09:12,287
Oh, man! Come on, look!

1152
01:09:20,756 --> 01:09:22,633
Where are you? Come on.

1153
01:09:24,860 --> 01:09:25,861
There! There, there!

1154
01:09:25,961 --> 01:09:28,066
There, you see it? Right there!

1155
01:09:31,333 --> 01:09:32,744
Ride 'em, cowboy!

1156
01:09:33,335 --> 01:09:34,746
- Uh-oh!
- Ah!

1157
01:09:35,070 --> 01:09:36,413
Oh, God!

1158
01:09:40,442 --> 01:09:41,420
We're good. We're good.

1159
01:09:41,610 --> 01:09:43,146
Can we go home now?

1160
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:44,553
Don't you want to get it on film?

1161
01:09:44,647 --> 01:09:46,490
- Hell, no!
- No! No! Home!

1162
01:10:00,229 --> 01:10:01,207
Hey!

1163
01:10:02,398 --> 01:10:04,776
- We're alive!
- We saw snowcocks!

1164
01:10:05,768 --> 01:10:06,803
Hey!

1165
01:10:08,270 --> 01:10:10,773
We're on a roll! Nothing can stop us now!

1166
01:10:10,873 --> 01:10:13,217
A -Well-a, everybody 's beard about the bird

1167
01:10:13,309 --> 01:10:15,311
Bird bird bird b-bird..

1168
01:10:15,411 --> 01:10:16,719
Hey, Mom.

1169
01:10:20,216 --> 01:10:21,194
What?

1170
01:10:24,186 --> 01:10:25,290
It's all right. it's okay.

1171
01:10:28,057 --> 01:10:30,503
So how many of these damn tests
are these clowns

1172
01:10:30,593 --> 01:10:33,130
gonna put me through before
they let me get the hell out of here?

1173
01:10:33,529 --> 01:10:35,031
Dad, you had a heart attack.

1174
01:10:35,598 --> 01:10:37,407
I had a minor heart attack, all right?

1175
01:10:37,499 --> 01:10:40,673
In my old man's day, it was not something
you went to the hospital for.

1176
01:10:53,415 --> 01:10:57,261
Let me show you some shots from the trip.

1177
01:11:01,090 --> 01:11:03,696
My little hobby. You should take a look.

1178
01:11:04,860 --> 01:11:06,897
What do we got here? There we go.

1179
01:11:06,996 --> 01:11:09,476
Colima Warbler. That's Texas.

1180
01:11:10,065 --> 01:11:12,067
Had to hike eight miles to see that guy.

1181
01:11:14,903 --> 01:11:16,075
That's a spruce grouse.

1182
01:11:16,372 --> 01:11:18,750
Maine. That was butt-cold.

1183
01:11:21,010 --> 01:11:21,988
Another spruce grouse.

1184
01:11:23,245 --> 01:11:26,749
There's my favorite bird.
American golden plover.

1185
01:11:27,683 --> 01:11:30,823
That's your favorite bird. it's gray.

1186
01:11:31,053 --> 01:11:32,828
Yes, it is. Well, gray-brown.

1187
01:11:33,989 --> 01:11:36,492
Yeah, a lot of people wouldn't
think twice to look at this bird,

1188
01:11:36,592 --> 01:11:39,539
but this golden plover's one of
the greatest travelers in the world.

1189
01:11:40,396 --> 01:11:45,470
It's true. It breeds in the Arctic tundra,
then flies all the way down to Argentina

1190
01:11:45,567 --> 01:11:46,944
and back, all in one year.

1191
01:11:48,103 --> 01:11:50,083
It shows up on beaches of Guatemala.

1192
01:11:51,573 --> 01:11:53,575
On farms in Illinois.

1193
01:11:55,077 --> 01:11:59,753
Nine inches long, but he travels hundreds
of thousands of miles in his lifetime.

1194
01:12:00,749 --> 01:12:03,252
No passports, no security. Total freedom.

1195
01:12:05,187 --> 01:12:09,499
Yeah. This gray bird has seen
some amazing things.

1196
01:12:11,226 --> 01:12:14,105
And that's the bird
that everybody underestimates.

1197
01:12:37,052 --> 01:12:38,087
Yes!

1198
01:12:39,588 --> 01:12:41,431
Hey. Did you see a flammer?

1199
01:12:41,523 --> 01:12:43,400
I heard it. He just answered my call.

1200
01:12:43,492 --> 01:12:44,994
- Which direction?
- It doesn't matter.

1201
01:12:45,094 --> 01:12:46,539
We both heard it. That counts.

1202
01:12:46,695 --> 01:12:47,799
How do I know what I heard?

1203
01:12:47,896 --> 01:12:51,207
Maybe I just heard you.
Maybe I heard some SOB answering you.

1204
01:12:51,567 --> 01:12:53,308
I'm claiming it.
I mean, you heard what I heard.

1205
01:12:53,402 --> 01:12:54,380
You should claim it, too.

1206
01:12:54,503 --> 01:12:58,041
- Just tell me which direction, pal.
- It's over here.

1207
01:12:59,575 --> 01:13:01,612
Hey, hold up. I'll go with you.

1208
01:13:01,810 --> 01:13:03,881
Hey, Stu. Yeah, walk with me.

1209
01:13:05,714 --> 01:13:08,558
That was some trick you pulled on us
at Anacortes Ferry.

1210
01:13:08,650 --> 01:13:10,357
What trick?

1211
01:13:11,186 --> 01:13:13,393
Bostick, you're a hard guy to figure.

1212
01:13:13,489 --> 01:13:16,629
Seems like you'd do anything to win,
but that's not true, is it?

1213
01:13:16,892 --> 01:13:19,270
I work the angles just like everyone does.

1214
01:13:19,361 --> 01:13:21,238
Maybe even better.

1215
01:13:21,330 --> 01:13:23,742
Yeah, but when it comes
to the honor system,

1216
01:13:23,832 --> 01:13:25,243
you're as pure as snow.

1217
01:13:25,334 --> 01:13:28,907
Everyone in the clubhouse knows
which guy cheats on his score.

1218
01:13:29,004 --> 01:13:31,541
He's kind of pathetic.
Who'd want to be that asshole, right?

1219
01:13:32,408 --> 01:13:37,448
Bostick, this is strange to say,
but I actually kind of like you.

1220
01:13:38,013 --> 01:13:39,651
I kind of like you, too, Stu.

1221
01:13:40,182 --> 01:13:43,288
Yeah, you seem like a...
You seem like a genuinely nice guy.

1222
01:13:43,919 --> 01:13:45,523
Course, wasn't that how you got to Brad?

1223
01:13:46,321 --> 01:13:48,858
- I didn't get to...
- Yell if you find a flammer.

1224
01:13:50,793 --> 01:13:51,999
Bostick!

1225
01:13:52,961 --> 01:13:52,995


1226
01:13:53,695 --> 01:13:57,905
I see that you're going to come back
at least a couple more times.

1227
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,742
So just fill out those forms
and we'll see you again.

1228
01:14:00,869 --> 01:14:02,473
Okay, great. Thank you.

1229
01:14:02,571 --> 01:14:04,073
Okay. We're all set.

1230
01:14:04,173 --> 01:14:06,619
But we do need your husband here
very soon.

1231
01:14:06,708 --> 01:14:08,016
He'll be here.

1232
01:14:29,665 --> 01:14:31,110
Sorry. Am I hurting you?

1233
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:32,770
Oh, not at all.

1234
01:14:33,068 --> 01:14:35,878
Your husband does know today's the day?

1235
01:14:35,971 --> 01:14:37,314
Oh, yeah.

1236
01:14:39,441 --> 01:14:40,419
Yeah.

1237
01:14:45,581 --> 01:14:47,424
- How you doing?
- Good. How are you, sir?

1238
01:14:47,516 --> 01:14:48,824
Tired.

1239
01:15:15,477 --> 01:15:18,890
The doctor's ready.
Should we maybe call your husband?

1240
01:15:21,116 --> 01:15:22,789
Can we give him five more minutes?

1241
01:15:25,220 --> 01:15:26,290
Okay.

1242
01:15:28,123 --> 01:15:29,329
Bostick!

1243
01:15:44,473 --> 01:15:47,249
- Yeah.
- Bostick, guess what I'm looking at.

1244
01:15:47,976 --> 01:15:49,319
Snowy owl.

1245
01:15:49,912 --> 01:15:54,418
Catch the 4:30 to Buffalo
and you will obliterate your own record.

1246
01:16:00,122 --> 01:16:02,568
Hold on. Kenny, where are you?

1247
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:07,805
Jess, you cannot believe how hard
I have tried today to get there.

1248
01:16:07,896 --> 01:16:12,038
It's just been a complete nightmare
here in Chicago.

1249
01:16:12,134 --> 01:16:13,340
Hold on.

1250
01:16:15,904 --> 01:16:20,410
They've got like all the planes grounded,
or something, I don't know why...

1251
01:16:37,993 --> 01:16:39,233
Here you go, Mrs. B.

1252
01:16:42,097 --> 01:16:44,202
Sounds like you could use a cup of tea.

1253
01:16:46,401 --> 01:16:48,540
- Thanks, Frankie.
- Yeah.

1254
01:16:53,976 --> 01:16:56,422
A -Well-a, everybody 's heard about the bird,"

1255
01:16:56,511 --> 01:16:58,320
Dad, can you grab that for me?

1256
01:16:58,413 --> 01:17:01,155
A-Well-a, bird, bird, bird, the bird is the Word

1257
01:17:01,249 --> 01:17:03,661
A -Well-a, bird, bird, bird
Well, the bird is the Word

1258
01:17:03,752 --> 01:17:05,857
A-Well-a, bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the Word

1259
01:17:05,954 --> 01:17:08,366
A -Well-a, bird, bird, bird
Well, the bird is the Word

1260
01:17:08,457 --> 01:17:10,733
A-Well-a, bird, bird, b-bird's the Word

1261
01:17:10,826 --> 01:17:13,272
A-Well-a, bird, bird, bird, b-bird's the Word

1262
01:17:13,362 --> 01:17:14,432
A-Well-a, brd bird...

1263
01:17:14,529 --> 01:17:15,507
Yeah, yeah, hello.

1264
01:17:15,764 --> 01:17:18,040
Oh, hi. I'm trying to reach Brad?

1265
01:17:18,567 --> 01:17:23,141
Brad's upstairs. He's setting up
an oxygen tank for some old man.

1266
01:17:23,538 --> 01:17:25,950
Oh, can you tell him his friend Stu called?

1267
01:17:26,508 --> 01:17:30,012
I got word of a great gray owl in
the George Washington National Forest,

1268
01:17:30,112 --> 01:17:31,921
and since that's
in your neck of the woods...

1269
01:17:32,114 --> 01:17:34,253
Yeah, Brad's told me a lot about you, Stu.

1270
01:17:34,349 --> 01:17:35,419
Same here.

1271
01:17:36,018 --> 01:17:38,020
Quite a son you have there.

1272
01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:40,361
Between you and me, he might break
the world's record this year.

1273
01:17:41,690 --> 01:17:43,829
World record? Is that right?

1274
01:17:47,863 --> 01:17:49,570
Here, get your coat on.

1275
01:17:50,499 --> 01:17:52,001
Where are we going?

1276
01:17:52,100 --> 01:17:55,980
Some kind of an owl out in the woods.
I want to get a look at him.

1277
01:17:59,441 --> 01:18:00,476
An owl?

1278
01:18:02,577 --> 01:18:05,148
I always thought it was
kind of weird with birds.

1279
01:18:06,314 --> 01:18:11,457
The male is way colorful and fancy,
and the female is just plain.

1280
01:18:12,220 --> 01:18:13,597
The opposite from us, you know?

1281
01:18:14,322 --> 01:18:17,997
I don't know, Dad. You should check out
the family photo album sometime.

1282
01:18:18,093 --> 01:18:20,403
Those jackets you were sporting back
in the '70s were...

1283
01:18:20,495 --> 01:18:23,237
- My sport jacket?
- ...pretty colorful.

1284
01:18:23,331 --> 01:18:25,436
- Paisley polyester, huh?
- Yeah.

1285
01:18:25,801 --> 01:18:27,508
How do you think
I got your mother, eh? Huh?

1286
01:18:28,136 --> 01:18:29,240
Uh... I don't think so.

1287
01:18:47,622 --> 01:18:48,692
Jess?

1288
01:19:06,708 --> 01:19:10,679
Frankie? Is that you?

1289
01:19:13,682 --> 01:19:14,683
No.

1290
01:19:18,581 --> 01:19:18,615


1291
01:19:31,894 --> 01:19:33,999
- It's not what you think.
- What do I think?

1292
01:19:36,532 --> 01:19:39,479
You know what?
The Faluccis are taking me to a Jets game.

1293
01:19:40,536 --> 01:19:42,675
They wanted to get an early start.

1294
01:19:42,771 --> 01:19:45,081
And when I heard you come in,
I figured I'd overslept,

1295
01:19:45,174 --> 01:19:48,246
'cause it's not like you've been here
any morning in the last 10 months.

1296
01:19:51,747 --> 01:19:53,226
So you haven't slept with him.

1297
01:19:54,116 --> 01:19:57,097
No. I'd never do that to you.

1298
01:19:58,253 --> 01:20:01,063
You know, fallen in love or something?

1299
01:20:02,291 --> 01:20:03,269
No.

1300
01:20:05,060 --> 01:20:08,337
'Cause, believe it or not,
I'm still in love with you.

1301
01:20:14,470 --> 01:20:16,472
But I can't be married to you any more.

1302
01:20:18,807 --> 01:20:21,686
- Jess...
- I'm gonna call Frank

1303
01:20:21,777 --> 01:20:23,120
and tell him that the game's a no go.

1304
01:20:41,997 --> 01:20:43,237
You okay?

1305
01:20:44,633 --> 01:20:46,613
I'm fine. Go ahead. Go ahead.

1306
01:21:00,082 --> 01:21:01,060
Brad!

1307
01:21:02,351 --> 01:21:04,991
All right, I want you to get that bird
before it gets dark.

1308
01:21:05,087 --> 01:21:06,862
- We will.
- No. No, no.

1309
01:21:06,955 --> 01:21:08,525
You go on without me.

1310
01:21:09,191 --> 01:21:11,034
- But...
- I'll be fine, okay?

1311
01:21:11,126 --> 01:21:12,537
Fine. Give me the tank.

1312
01:21:12,628 --> 01:21:14,938
Come on, come on. Give me the tank.

1313
01:21:16,832 --> 01:21:17,810
All right.

1314
01:21:18,867 --> 01:21:21,575
- Go get that bird. Go ahead. Go!
- All right.

1315
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:26,319
Go on!

1316
01:21:29,445 --> 01:21:33,154
Look, you have every reason to be
really upset about the baby thing.

1317
01:21:33,248 --> 01:21:34,283
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That was terrible.

1318
01:21:34,383 --> 01:21:36,522
I know. I think in the heat of the moment,
I just plain choked,

1319
01:21:36,618 --> 01:21:37,596
but you got to give someone
a second chance.

1320
01:21:39,221 --> 01:21:41,428
- No.
- How can you say you love me and not

1321
01:21:41,523 --> 01:21:43,059
- be willing to try...
- Because, Kenny, it's a good thing

1322
01:21:43,158 --> 01:21:45,160
that I wasn't married to Gandhi or Mozart.

1323
01:21:45,260 --> 01:21:47,797
'Cause I just need to be with a guy
who'd rather be with me

1324
01:21:47,896 --> 01:21:49,432
- than with anything else.
- Jess, you are. Really.

1325
01:21:49,531 --> 01:21:51,670
Sure. As long as there's no
egret or owl or pelican or...

1326
01:21:51,767 --> 01:21:53,804
No, come on! Give me a break, Jess!

1327
01:21:53,902 --> 01:21:56,178
- Hold it! That's this year, then it's over!
- It's every year, Kenny.

1328
01:21:56,271 --> 01:21:57,249
- No!
- I know you.

1329
01:21:57,339 --> 01:21:58,511
I know that right now you're in pain,

1330
01:21:58,607 --> 01:22:00,484
trying to think how you're gonna get
on your flight to Phoenix

1331
01:22:00,576 --> 01:22:02,920
- without looking like a jerk.
- No. No. No, I'm really in pain

1332
01:22:03,011 --> 01:22:05,617
because I really love you,
and I'm scrambling to make this work.

1333
01:22:05,714 --> 01:22:07,455
Enough not to go to Arizona?

1334
01:22:08,550 --> 01:22:09,995
I have to go to Arizona.

1335
01:22:10,319 --> 01:22:11,798
Why? why?

1336
01:22:11,887 --> 01:22:14,231
Because right now
there's a guy out there named Stu

1337
01:22:14,323 --> 01:22:17,930
with 730-plus birds,
and if I don't get out there,

1338
01:22:18,026 --> 01:22:20,472
people could say
he's the greatest birder of all time.

1339
01:22:20,562 --> 01:22:22,064
And he's not.

1340
01:22:22,297 --> 01:22:25,904
This is what I'm great at!
This is what I'll be remembered for!

1341
01:22:27,035 --> 01:22:29,208
No one remembers who comes in second.

1342
01:22:30,172 --> 01:22:33,016
I know. I know.

1343
01:23:02,638 --> 01:23:03,946
What are you doing?

1344
01:23:04,039 --> 01:23:05,780
You idiot, how could you just
leave him there?

1345
01:23:05,874 --> 01:23:07,251
God dang it!

1346
01:23:28,197 --> 01:23:29,175
Dad?

1347
01:23:34,336 --> 01:23:36,179
Dad!

1348
01:23:49,718 --> 01:23:50,856
Dad, are you okay?

1349
01:24:11,473 --> 01:24:13,783
A -Well-a, everybody 's beard about the bird

1350
01:24:13,876 --> 01:24:15,583
Bird bird bird b-bird..

1351
01:24:17,079 --> 01:24:18,057
- Hello?
- Hey, Brad!

1352
01:24:20,616 --> 01:24:24,393
it's me. There's a Pacific storm coming in.

1353
01:24:24,486 --> 01:24:27,524
A big one!
This could turn it around for us, buddy.

1354
01:24:33,762 --> 01:24:35,298
Huh? What?

1355
01:24:40,235 --> 01:24:41,475
Is today...

1356
01:24:42,170 --> 01:24:43,877
I don't believe it!

1357
01:24:45,107 --> 01:24:46,245
How could you not know?

1358
01:24:46,341 --> 01:24:48,082
Didn't your wife mention
it was Thanksgiving?

1359
01:24:48,176 --> 01:24:50,486
She doesn't like to rub it in
when the holidays roll around

1360
01:24:50,579 --> 01:24:53,423
and she knows I'm in a motel somewhere,
sitting around in my boxers.

1361
01:24:53,682 --> 01:24:54,990
Same thing happened last Fourth of July.

1362
01:24:55,083 --> 01:24:57,654
Okay, Fourth of July is one thing,
but Thanksgiving!

1363
01:24:57,753 --> 01:24:58,731
Make the next left.

1364
01:24:58,820 --> 01:25:02,233
Hey, Mr. Computer Genius Guy,
don't you have a calendar on that thing?

1365
01:25:02,324 --> 01:25:03,428
Didn't your folks tell you?

1366
01:25:03,525 --> 01:25:05,562
All my dad talks about is that damn owl.

1367
01:25:08,563 --> 01:25:11,100
Remind me to come over
to your house on Christmas.

1368
01:25:11,500 --> 01:25:14,242
We're trying to catch Bostick,
and you're our only...

1369
01:25:15,103 --> 01:25:16,946
Were you gonna say "hope"?

1370
01:25:21,376 --> 01:25:23,219
That pig's doing another Big Year?

1371
01:25:25,514 --> 01:25:30,588
It was epic! Four Siberian species,
two from China and one from Japan!

1372
01:25:30,686 --> 01:25:31,858
All right, so what's your total?

1373
01:25:32,054 --> 01:25:34,159
- 734, Dad.
- Whoa!

1374
01:25:34,256 --> 01:25:37,260
A new record. I'm gonna kick his ass.

1375
01:25:42,397 --> 01:25:44,468
'Bastick didn't have
his usual cocky air.

1376
01:25:44,566 --> 01:25:47,410
"He was intense, tirei all-business.

1377
01:25:47,502 --> 01:25:49,948
"Frankly, he looked like a guy
who was trying to catch up."

1378
01:25:51,506 --> 01:25:52,576
So what do you think?

1379
01:25:52,708 --> 01:25:56,155
He's heard it through the grapevine
that Annie took us out on Thanksgiving.

1380
01:25:56,244 --> 01:25:59,054
Annie made sure of that.
So, yeah, maybe he's scared.

1381
01:25:59,681 --> 01:26:03,094
On the other hand, maybe he's shooting
for some ridiculous number

1382
01:26:03,185 --> 01:26:04,823
and won't slow down till he gets there.

1383
01:26:05,187 --> 01:26:06,427
What's a ridiculous number?

1384
01:26:06,989 --> 01:26:09,765
740? 745?

1385
01:26:10,525 --> 01:26:12,027
I mean, the guy is crazy!

1386
01:26:13,996 --> 01:26:14,030


1387
01:26:14,129 --> 01:26:17,599
Silent night

1388
01:26:17,699 --> 01:26:22,341
Holy night

1389
01:26:22,904 --> 01:26:28,786
All is calm

1390
01:26:29,778 --> 01:26:32,987
- Here. Try fork.
- Okay, thank you. Thanks.

1391
01:26:34,683 --> 01:26:38,495
Hey. You want to...
You guys want to come sit with me?

1392
01:26:39,287 --> 01:26:43,292
I feel bad you're working on Christmas.
Come on.

1393
01:26:44,593 --> 01:26:47,039
Why you here?
Why not with family?

1394
01:26:51,333 --> 01:26:52,403
Snowy owl, Chan.

1395
01:26:53,001 --> 01:26:55,641
Been up and down the Sax Zim Bog
looking for him.

1396
01:26:55,737 --> 01:26:58,809
It's the only breeding bird in
North America that's eluded me.

1397
01:27:03,311 --> 01:27:05,723
I'd like to see the birds of China one day.

1398
01:27:06,915 --> 01:27:09,122
- You know anything about that?
- Peking duck.

1399
01:27:12,754 --> 01:27:15,132
- Merry Christmas Eve.
- Merry Christmas.

1400
01:27:15,223 --> 01:27:16,600
Merry Christmas.

1401
01:27:31,039 --> 01:27:32,950
Hey, Barry. Happy holidays.

1402
01:27:33,408 --> 01:27:35,183
You and Jenny in Saint Barths
again this year?

1403
01:27:35,644 --> 01:27:38,557
Not exactly.
We all had to cancel our vacations.

1404
01:27:39,014 --> 01:27:40,550
Looks like we've been out-shriked.

1405
01:27:41,083 --> 01:27:42,756
- What?
- We ire being' bought by 354,

1406
01:27:42,851 --> 01:27:43,829
Yeah, here 's the thing, Stu.

1407
01:27:44,252 --> 01:27:45,595
You may want to sit down for this.

1408
01:27:45,687 --> 01:27:48,133
Looks like Simon Ross
is stepping down as CEO

1409
01:27:48,223 --> 01:27:50,635
and they want you to take over.

1410
01:27:52,094 --> 01:27:54,506
Stu, you started this company
in your garage.

1411
01:27:54,596 --> 01:27:55,597
You ma de it something big.

1412
01:27:55,697 --> 01:27:58,541
Now you ha ve the chance to run
one of the biggest companies in the World.

1413
01:27:58,633 --> 01:28:01,409
it's what they calla lat of maney.

1414
01:28:01,503 --> 01:28:05,349
But more than that, ab viausly,
your Big Year, it's coming to a close.

1415
01:28:05,440 --> 01:28:07,010
Do you really Want to face the abyss?

1416
01:28:13,982 --> 01:28:15,484
The answer is yes, Jim.

1417
01:28:15,584 --> 01:28:16,562
Yes, you'll do it?

1418
01:28:18,553 --> 01:28:21,534
Yes, I want to face the abyss.

1419
01:28:21,756 --> 01:28:23,429
- No! Stu. Stu.
- No, no, no, no! Don't say that!

1420
01:28:23,525 --> 01:28:25,436
Don't say something you don't mean.

1421
01:28:25,527 --> 01:28:26,835
But I do mean it.

1422
01:28:29,264 --> 01:28:30,242
I really do.

1423
01:28:30,499 --> 01:28:33,275
I think we need to come there
and show you this offer face-to-face.

1424
01:28:33,368 --> 01:28:34,346
Absolutely!

1425
01:28:34,836 --> 01:28:38,306
Can't do it, guys.
Got to help a friend find a bird.

1426
01:28:41,209 --> 01:28:42,654
Those freaking birds!

1427
01:28:43,812 --> 01:28:46,486
Hey, when are you gonna tell me
what we're chasing?

1428
01:28:46,815 --> 01:28:48,419
We're going on a wild goose chase!

1429
01:28:49,417 --> 01:28:51,727
A goose with little pink feet.

1430
01:28:52,254 --> 01:28:54,734
You're crazy! Have you noticed the snow?

1431
01:28:54,923 --> 01:28:57,904
- That goose is in Scotland by now.
- You would think so, wouldn't you?

1432
01:28:57,993 --> 01:29:00,803
But my friend Jeff Shaw swears
he saw it up here yesterday.

1433
01:29:00,896 --> 01:29:03,877
Just out of curiosity,
what's Jeff Shaw smoking?

1434
01:29:04,132 --> 01:29:06,237
'Cause I'd like to get me some of that!

1435
01:29:08,870 --> 01:29:13,148
Wait! Wait! Did you hear that?
Pink-footed goose. I heard it!

1436
01:29:13,241 --> 01:29:14,584
Come on!

1437
01:29:18,947 --> 01:29:20,392
There. There.

1438
01:29:20,482 --> 01:29:22,189
Huh? Oh!

1439
01:29:26,655 --> 01:29:30,068
Looks like somebody's found a warm place
to spend the winter.

1440
01:29:30,659 --> 01:29:31,637
Wow.

1441
01:29:33,428 --> 01:29:37,035
- What does that give you?
- 741!

1442
01:29:40,035 --> 01:29:43,278
That, my friend, is a very Big Year.

1443
01:29:46,308 --> 01:29:47,286
Hey.

1444
01:29:53,381 --> 01:29:55,827
...five, four, three, two, one!

1445
01:29:58,053 --> 01:30:00,192
Happy New Year!

1446
01:30:04,559 --> 01:30:06,368
- Hey, look who's here, man!
- Oh, my God, Ray!

1447
01:30:06,461 --> 01:30:08,065
Hey, guys!

1448
01:30:10,532 --> 01:30:14,446
And never brought to mind

1449
01:30:15,136 --> 01:30:20,279
We'll take a cup of kindness yet

1450
01:30:20,475 --> 01:30:25,447
For auld lang syne

1451
01:30:40,128 --> 01:30:42,472
A -Well-a, everybody 's beard about the bird

1452
01:30:42,564 --> 01:30:45,204
Bird, bird, bird, £7-bird's the Word",

1453
01:30:46,034 --> 01:30:47,012
Hello?

1454
01:30:50,705 --> 01:30:51,945
- Whimbrel.
- Yep.

1455
01:30:53,541 --> 01:30:56,545
I just...
I just wanted to say happy New Year.

1456
01:30:57,112 --> 01:31:00,650
Happy New Year to you.
What are you doing?

1457
01:31:01,483 --> 01:31:05,192
Oh, watching TV by myself.

1458
01:31:06,321 --> 01:31:07,561
Darren and I broke up.

1459
01:31:12,961 --> 01:31:14,702
I am so sorry to hear that.

1460
01:31:17,165 --> 01:31:18,735
Did you just do a victory dance?

1461
01:31:19,901 --> 01:31:23,678
No. Maybe. Yes, I did. I did.

1462
01:31:23,772 --> 01:31:27,686
Well, not a victory dance
so much as a dance of celebration.

1463
01:31:32,981 --> 01:31:33,015


1464
01:31:52,934 --> 01:31:54,880
Have you seen the results?

1465
01:31:54,969 --> 01:31:55,947
They're in?

1466
01:31:57,505 --> 01:32:00,452
Okay. Did I win?

1467
01:32:02,043 --> 01:32:04,421
Bostick got 755 birds, Brad.

1468
01:32:04,579 --> 01:32:05,751
No!

1469
01:32:05,847 --> 01:32:07,349
755?

1470
01:32:07,449 --> 01:32:09,554
Son of a bitch! I... That's...

1471
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:13,224
That's shocking.

1472
01:32:13,321 --> 01:32:14,766
I know, it's not quite human.

1473
01:32:15,223 --> 01:32:19,865
But you are second! How amazing is that?
A full-time job and you're second?

1474
01:32:21,529 --> 01:32:23,406
And? You're third?

1475
01:32:23,865 --> 01:32:25,401
Fourth. What can I say?

1476
01:32:26,101 --> 01:32:27,478
I waited too long to do it.

1477
01:32:27,569 --> 01:32:28,877
Na, you didn't. Dan 't say tha t.

1478
01:32:28,970 --> 01:32:31,246
Then you would have done it
some other year.

1479
01:32:31,339 --> 01:32:34,047
And really, we won.

1480
01:32:35,910 --> 01:32:36,888
What do you mean?

1481
01:32:36,978 --> 01:32:38,286
We won, Stu!
I don't know how else to put it.

1482
01:32:38,947 --> 01:32:40,984
I don 't just mean I Wouldn 't ha ve
came in second Without you.

1483
01:32:41,082 --> 01:32:42,390
Although that's true.

1484
01:32:42,484 --> 01:32:48,457
I mean, I don't know, he got more birds,
but we got more everything.

1485
01:32:49,824 --> 01:32:50,825
Do you know what I mean?

1486
01:32:54,596 --> 01:32:55,574
Yeah, I do.

1487
01:32:56,664 --> 01:32:59,668
Thank you, Stu. Have I said thank you?

1488
01:33:00,034 --> 01:33:01,479
Hey, for what?

1489
01:33:02,537 --> 01:33:04,210
- Congrats.
- Take care, buddy.

1490
01:33:07,275 --> 01:33:08,253
Yep.

1491
01:33:09,177 --> 01:33:13,250
Looks like you'll be spending the weekend
with the second best birder in the world.

1492
01:33:27,862 --> 01:33:28,966
Bostick!

1493
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,771
Five months later,
the sooty shearwater

1494
01:33:34,869 --> 01:33:40,012
begins his migration all over again,
flying north to HaWaii.

1495
01:33:42,544 --> 01:33:45,923
Completely retired now, Stu spends
the summer hiking' in the Rockies

1496
01:33:46,014 --> 01:33:49,552
with Little Stu, who seems to share
his grandfather 's passion.

1497
01:33:49,684 --> 01:33:51,186
Hey, look at that.

1498
01:33:52,487 --> 01:33:53,898
That's a male goldfinch.

1499
01:33:53,988 --> 01:33:56,696
In a couple of months,
it's gonna turn all yellow.

1500
01:33:58,393 --> 01:34:01,465
To celebrate his victory,
Bastick goes to China.

1501
01:34:09,103 --> 01:34:13,745
Only he knows the price he's paid
to be the greatest birder in the World.

1502
01:34:20,582 --> 01:34:23,392
Me? I still go birding mast Weekends.

1503
01:34:25,253 --> 01:34:30,066
But the truth is, I don't pay
as much attention to the birds anymore,

1504
01:34:36,531 --> 01:34:36,565


1505
01:34:48,376 --> 01:34:52,324
There 's a message in the skies
and in the streets

1506
01:34:52,413 --> 01:34:56,225
Opportunity, the American-y dream

1507
01:34:56,317 --> 01:34:59,059
It's in the radio
It's superstars

1508
01:34:59,153 --> 01:35:03,067
The arteries and veins that feed your heart

1509
01:35:04,692 --> 01:35:08,572
From the Dairy Queen
to the head of the parade

1510
01:35:08,663 --> 01:35:12,008
In a blink your life could change

1511
01:35:13,468 --> 01:35:17,507
This could all be yours someday

1512
01:35:17,605 --> 01:35:21,417
This could all be yours someday

1513
01:35:21,509 --> 01:35:25,719
This could all be yours someday

1514
01:35:25,813 --> 01:35:31,024
This could all be yours
Be yours someday

1515
01:35:33,021 --> 01:35:35,001
Someday

1516
01:35:37,058 --> 01:35:38,901
Someday

1517
01:35:41,062 --> 01:35:43,064
Someday

1518
01:35:53,174 --> 01:35:57,145
You came as Elvis Presley every Halloween

1519
01:35:57,245 --> 01:36:01,091
And dream of sing-alongs
the Whale Wide World will sing

1520
01:36:01,182 --> 01:36:04,095
Into the great unknown, Horatio

1521
01:36:04,185 --> 01:36:09,100
Desire and ambition fuel this heart

1522
01:36:09,991 --> 01:36:13,598
Sa take a breath and step into the light

1523
01:36:13,695 --> 01:36:17,700
Everything will be all right

1524
01:36:18,600 --> 01:36:22,605
This could all be yours someday

1525
01:36:22,704 --> 01:36:26,652
This could all be yours someday

1526
01:36:26,741 --> 01:36:30,746
This could all be yours someday

1527
01:36:30,845 --> 01:36:35,521
This could all be yours
All yours someday

1528
01:36:37,919 --> 01:36:39,921
Someday

1529
01:36:42,056 --> 01:36:44,002
Someday

1530
01:36:46,260 --> 01:36:48,035
Someday

1531
01:37:23,665 --> 01:37:27,704
