- -

No cooking, Ben.

No problem.

My barn!

Oh wow.

It's bigger than I thought.

Look at this.

Oh, this is amazing.

Alright.

-Alright. -We did it, we did it.

This is us doin' it.

- -

- Hello. -Hello.

I need to thank you for getting me out of that kitchen.

Thank you so much.

This is what we needed.

This is just perfect.

Found it in the loft.

Figured a little sandpaper, some varnish,

-and it'll look-- -No.

You leave this guy alone.

He has so much more character like this.

-Him? -Uh, I thought maybe he could live in here.

Oh wow.

Did we do the right thing?

One more year in that restaurant,

and we wouldn't even be together.

-Good mornin', Roy. -Oh, Kathy, hmm, you know what?

I kept thinking to myself, the only thing that's gonna get me through this pisser

of a day is a big, fat piece

of your beautiful blueberry pie.

Oh jeez, Roy, we are all out.

Can I get you a slice of cherry pie?

No, just the milk.

-Sorry, Roy. -Yeah.

Where?

Is it on the other side?

Is it over here?

-Is it-- -

- Morning. - Hello.

You the folks who bought the Dondlinger farm?

-Yeah. -Mm-hmm.

We're still moving in.

Did you know the people who lived there?

I did.

Chicago chef.

Ooh.

Interior decorator.

What? Wow!

How did you know?

It's my job to know.

Oh boy.

What the--

What the...

What the hell is this?

Oh, my--

Who the fuck is--

Uh, me and my wife moved in to the Dondlinger farm.

Excuse me?

The Dondlinger farm, it's down the road aways.

Hey, um, this guy's been around the farm, a little bit.

I don't know if you, uh, recognize him or anything.

Maybe you could help me out with that.

I just, it's a blur.

I mean,

what you really need to do is learn how

to focus your life.

Think about where you're stepping.

That's what you really need to focus on.

Let me ask you somethin'.

When you came into this town for the very first time,

what did you see?

Uh, nice, quiet town, nice people.

Okay, nice, quiet town,

nice, quiet people, that's right,

and that's the way it's gonna stay.

And you are a stranger.

You ever hear that, it's a little saying,

you can run, but you cannot hide?

Yeah.

I'd keep it memorized.

Holy shit!

Holy shit!

Oh, my God

Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

You, you surprised me.

Hello.

-Pretty. -Oh, very pretty.

This is beautiful.

-I-- I see the house before I go. -The house? Hi, my name is Ben.

I mo-- I moved into the house with my wife.

My home.

My home.

It's very nice. It's very nice.

Goodbye to you.

Goodbye.

May I take your picture?

- -Hey.

When do you think we're gonna move the crib?

Oh I think it's charming, honey.

I think it's a little creepy.

-Mm, no. -No?

-Mm-mm. -Okay.

- Good night. -Good night.

-Excuse me. - Mm-hmm?

-Are you the owner? -Well, I own the building.

-Hi, I'm Ben Holland. -Okay.

My background was cooking, but I have a real passion for nature photography.

-Uh-huh. -Moved out here,

I'm gonna focus on my photography now.

Hmm, good for you. Where did you move from?

Uh, Chicago. I have some photos here.

I was hoping you would, uh, maybe consider one or two for your gallery.

Yeah, well, this isn't a gallery. This is an artist co-op.

You rent a stall, and you sell 'em yourself.

Ah.

Oh, these are good.

Yeah.

I used to live in the city, New York.

Oh.

What'd you do out there?

Advertising photography, yeah,

25 years, jerking off clients,

selling them sports cars, foot creams,

and then viral marketing, I got the hell out.

Came back home, teach a few classes, it's really nice, peaceful.

My wife and I just bought a farm.

It's beautiful out here.

It's, it's Edith.

What the--

What the hell is this?

You enjoy taking advantage of people?

Uh, well, no.

I guess she's part of the land.

Shut up! Do you think this is funny?

Look, take this, get out!

We're done here.

-Excuse me. -No, we're done here!
