Loggerheads

You know sometimes, I get to thinking about a turtle out there.

You know, he's just swimming around, he's doing his thing.

And then one day he looks up, and he sees another turtle-a female-

and they've never met

they've never even seen each other before, but there's that...

...moment...

of recognition. Where they just know that...

...that they're connected. Something's going on.

It could happen.

It's a big ocean though.

To the end of the Earth, I'll search for your face

For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste

Threw our hope into Hell and our children into the fire

I am the one who crawled through the wire

There's a million sad stories on the side of the road

Strange how we all just got used to the blood

Millions of stories that'll never be told

Silent and froze in the mud

I know a cold as cold as it gets

I know a darkness that's darker than cold

A wind that blows as cold as it gets

Blew out the light of my soul

I know a cold as cold as it gets

If I had a war, I may never see one

I live only to see you live to regret

Everything that you done

Hey!

Hi Patti! Hi Wanda!

- I like that top. - Hey. - Thanks.

Oh, we missed you at church.

I know, I know. We were at Dwight's mama's.

Looks like you got new neighbors.

- I hope they speak english. - I hope he's single.

- Shame on you ladies! - Can't blame a girl for tryin'!

Adios!

You should invite them to church.

Hmmm?

The new neighbors. You should invite them to church.

Oh I thought I'd take a pie over later.

Wanda's afraid they'll be Mexican.

Wanda's still worried about property values.

I don't care as long as they take care of their yard.

Will you slow down?

I have to get over to the hospital.

Harry's having his surgery this morning.

- You want me to make you a sandwich? - No, I'll pick something up.

- No cheese! - I know. I know.

See you later!

- When do you plan on returning the car? - Sunday.

All right. Mid-size all right?

- As long as it has a cd player. - It does. Driver's license, please.

- Ok. Will there be any additional driver's? - Nope, just me.

Credit card?

You're Scorpio.

- Yeah, I don't really follow that stuff. - Yeah, me neither.

- So what brings you to Asheville? - Ah, Mother's Day.

Right. Okay.

There you go. Just initial here, here, and here. And then you sign at the bottom.

Can I ask you a personal question?

Well, I guess that depends on how personal.

It's personal.

Are you adopted? I mean, were you?

- Are you adopted? - Was I adopted?

- Yes. - No.

I'm sorry. It's inappropriate.

I shouldn't... You just remind me of someone...

Your date of birth, and the year... Just thinking about... a friend...

Looks like we're in for a gorgeous Mother's Day Weekend

with high's up and down the coast reaching the upper 80's.

Currently 72 degrees in Wilmington, 74 at Rightsville, and 71 at Kure Beach.

Lola, as good as I say.

The people in number 6 called. Their sink's stopped-up.

- I just fixed it! - And they smell!

We should have a party. I'm serious George, it's getting old.

Oh my God, dude. Check it out.

What do you think? Your team, or mine?

- I thought you played on everybody's team? - I'm a team player.

Want to take those towels to 9 for me?

Hey! Hey mom!

- How was your day? - Oh... fine.

Just fine.

- I feel like pork chops. - Funny, you don't look like a pork chop.

- Is that ok? Does that sound good to you? - I'm not hungry, so whatever you want.

Your aunt Millie called today.

She said she wants to come up next month for a visit.

Won't uncle Don be coming up with her?

No. I doubt it. He still won't fly.

But they know I'm back and that I'm living here with you?

She knows.

Did you tell her why?

I told her you'd been in the hospital.

She doesn't have to know everything.

Gracious Lord, accept our thanks for these and all other blessings.

Lead us, and guide us, and teach us to be true to each other,

ourselves and thee. In Jesus name, Amen.

I talked to Susan today. She said that Harry was recuperating very well.

You know, the first thing he asked the doctor when he came out of surgery?

He wanted to know if he could still use their microwave.

That sounds just like Harry!

- Did you meet the neighbors? - Um, no... I saw them.

Are they Mexicans?

- Well... One might be. - Oh, that's good.

Now Linda will only be half of upset.

Which one is Mexican? Him or her?

Well... I don't think there is a her.

What do you mean?

I mean I don't think that there's a woman over there.

You saying what I think you're saying?

All I know is, one man came out of the house

another man got out of a car and they embraced.

Well, maybe they're friends.

- How many friends do you kiss? - They kissed?

Right in the driveway. In front of the child.

- They have a child? - Little boy.

- Were you wearing your glasses? - Robert, I know what I saw.

Should I invite them to church?

Let's just wait and see if they come on their own.

I made a pie and everything...

- Here ya go Bubba. - Thank you, Julie.

So anyway, everybody left around 11:30.

Around midnight I went out to get into my truck and there it was,

- ... gone! - Oh my god, what'd you do?

- I called Kanee. - Did he find it?

Well, they told me I had to file a police report, which I did.

They told me I had to call the insurance company, which I did.

They told me they'd found the guy who had stole it, which they didn't!

Same thing happened to my friend Tammy when she was at Myrtle Beach.

Except, it was her bicycle and they found it. Oh, that's my song!

- Want another 'cow-out-of-line', George? - Yes m'am, thank you.

Well, what can I get for you, sugar?

- How much for a cup of coffee? - A dollar.

I'll have one of those 'to go', please.

- It'll be a few minutes. - That's all right.

- Hey. How's it going? - Pretty good, yourself?

Not bad. Thanks.

You on vacation?

I think you actually have to have a job, to be on vacation. So, no...

- Hope you didn't come here looking for one. - No.

No, acutally I came here to see the loggerhead turtles.

Yeah, I figured that was what you were doing.

I saw you out there this morning putting that flag in the sand.

Yeah, I woke up right next to a nest.

I figured it'd be the best way to keep someone from stepping on it.

I wouldn't worry too much about the turtles around here.

This whole place is a loggerhead sanctuary.

I love it that they call it a sanctuary.

- Hey, I'm... I'm George. - Hi George, I'm Mark.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Hey, you should um... you should really be careful out there.

It's against the law to sleep on the beach here.

- What you kidding me? - No, it's a city ordinance.

No, it's a public beach right there.

Just trust me when I tell you you don't wanna get busted by the cops around here.

- That's ridiculous! - Well, welcome to Kure Beach.

Ku-re? I thought it was 'cure'...

Everybody gets it wrong.

- Did you want sugar and cream in this? - No, thank you that's fine.

- There you go. - You know what? I got it.

- No, really you don't have to do that. - Lemme get it. Phyllis, I got this one.

- Thanks alot. - You're welcome.

- Hey seriously, be careful out there. - I will.

Did you get his number?

No, well you know, I don't think he's got one. He's sleeping on the beach.

Oh boy!

I thought you'd finished your sermon?

I'm just looking for a good scripture for Mother's Day.

- Well, how about Mary? - I was thinking about Ruth and Naomi.

- "Wither thou goest"? - That's the one!

- We used that when we got married. - We, and everybody else.

- Except Naomi is Ruth's mother-in-law. - Mmmm.

Oh, speaking of mothers-in-laws, we need to send mom something for Mother's Day.

I thought maybe I'd send her a nice pot of Azalea this year.

Oh, she can't take care of a plant!

Well, the nurses could water it for her.

- Just send her some yellow roses, she likes that. - Okay.

Are you adopted? I mean, were you?

- Are you adopted? - Was I adopted?

- Yes. - No.

There was a time, you know,

when parents didn't tell their kids that they were adopted.

Well, I'm a pretty sure my parents would have mentioned something about that.

Anyway, there's no way I was adoped. I look just like my mom. So...

You are in violation of county ordinances...

Can you please explain that situation?

I don't understand whats... I don't understand whats...

- ... to come here. - Because you... - Hey, no, no!

No, no one can insult me like...

I don't believe that any of these... First of all, you don't touch me!

You're gonna calm down, is what you're gonna do.

What's going on?

- Hey, George. - What's going on?

- You know this guy? - Yeah.

Step to the rear of the car, son.

- How do you know this guy? - He's a... he's staying over at the motel.

- He's a guest at your motel? - Yeah.

So why is he sleeping on the beach? Something doesn't smell right, George.

Sounds like you're gonna owe me one, right?

- Last one! - I appreciate it.

And you! I don't want to see you anymore.

- That guy's uptight. - He's a nice one.
