Bay Coven

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you.

Help me, please. I must repent.

Would you like to make a confession?

Come.

How long has it been since your last confession?

I don't care about my fate any longer.

It's against the laws of God and nature

that I should go on this way.

I want to die.

Please, start from the beginning.

All I ask is peace.

Eternal peace.

Go on, my son.

- -

Cheers.

Now that you're a junior partner in this law firm,

don't think that things are gonna get any easier

for you around here.

Of course, if there's anything we can do.

There is something.

It's the one thing that kept me poring over contracts

all those lonely hours.

The key to the executive washroom.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Rufus!

Come here, boy. Come here. Right here.

Come here.

That's it. That's a good boy.

Aw.

Jerry.

My God, you scared me half to death.

I'm sorry, honey. I didn't mean to startle you.

- What's wrong? -Nothing.

I just, uh, I just got one of those headaches.

Did you have a bad day at work or what?

No, it wasn't that. I...

Know what I've been thinking about, sitting up here?

I never thought I would even own a suit.

-Now I have five of them. -Oh, honey.

Somehow, I've gone from blue collar to white collar

and there were no stops in between.

Well, I wish you'd get used to it.

'Cause I think you look handsome in a suit.

Feel this.

-Feels good. -No.

My point is, there's no calluses anymore.

I feel like I've been banished to a life

of filling out contracts, negotiating with unions.

Well, I know how you felt the last few months,

but the business is really coming together.

You wanna know what the hardest thing is that I did today?

I put a filter in the coffee machine.

This is not fun anymore.

I wanna work my hands.

I wanna come home tired from a real day's work.

-Well then, do it. -What?

If working in the field again would make you happy,

then do it.

Why don't you call Bryan, and I'm sure

he can take care of things in the office.

What we need is a little spontaneity in our lives.

Hmm. Well, you know that's never gonna work

because I hate spontaneity, you know?

-Oh. You do, huh? -Oh, yeah.

Maybe just a little spontaneity.

-I thought you had a headache? -No, I do.

But the rest of me is fine.

Come here, come here.

Come on. Yes!

Yes. Hello, Linda, Jerry.

Hello?

Hey, hey, hey?

Anybody home?

Hi, Slater.

Hey, Jerry.

Oh, am I interrupting something?

Yeah.

Don't worry, Slater. Timing isn't the most important thing.

All right. Soufflé or not soufflé?

That is the question.

-Oh, I forgot. -What?

Our cooking class.

What do you mean, you forgot?

Tonight's class is cooking with heavy cream,

calories account.

Slater, you've been taking these courses for years now.

How come you've never cooked for us?

Oh, I'm just perfecting my art. Once I finally do cook,

it's gonna be... incredible.

He only goes there to meet girls, anyway.

Well, at least I know the girls I go out with can cook.

Get ready.

Well, Jerry and I were thinking about going out

and celebrating a little tonight.

Celebrate what?

I got the promotion.

-Honey. -

Honey, that's great. And here I was,

I was just feeling sorry for myself all night.

Okay. In that case, the evening's on you.

It's my favorite club, too.

We haven't been back in a few months, though.

-Have you been out of town? -Uh, no.

We used to live right here in the city,

but we moved, out to Devlin Island.

Devlin Island. That's off the Cape, right?

-Right, yeah. -I always wondered

what kind of people lived on Devlin Island.

Well, I guess the kinda people like us.

Okay. My name's Josh. Uh, this is my wife, Debbi.

Hi. I'm Jerry. This is my wife Linda.

Hello. How are you doing?

This is our... Um, what are you anyway?

I like to think of myself as a trusty sidekick.

-Right. -This is Slater.

So, tell us about this island.

Well, there's not a lot of us out there-- enough,

but mostly older couples,

lived there for generations.

We got a fixer-upper, probably be working on it

for the rest of our lives.

Is anyone there contracting out that kind of work?

Jerry's a contractor.

We mainly hire out in this city.

I went to Devlin Island once when I was a little kid

and I got poison ivy all over.

Everywhere, places I don't even care to mention.

"Let's push the kid here."

You know, it's really a good investment.

It's still in discovery.

What's with the moonies?

They seem sweet.

Oh, yeah. They're giving me cavities.

You remember when we danced at the wrap party

for Guys and Dolls?

-It was Music Man. -Oh.

Well, you probably don't remember this,

but you kissed me then.

That was the nicest kiss I've ever had.

To think I used to fall for lies like that.

Hey.

All right, guys. I'm gonna take off.

Listen, try not to get too rowdy.

-Thanks for the dance. -See you, Slater.

Honey, you should listen to this.

Josh and Debbi have been telling me about this place--

-What was the name of it again? -Bay Cove.

It's a little community on the south side of the island.

If you're looking for a place.

Oh actually, I work in the city, so an island seems kind of...

We both work in the city, too.

It's really not so bad.

At first, we thought it was gonna be a real grind,

but the ferry only takes 45 minutes.

Forty-five minutes? When do you shop?

You just have to be a little more

creative with your time.

You can always hit Filene's Basement

on your lunch hour.

It's just something about the serenity of the island

that you just have to see for yourself.

It wouldn't hurt to take a look.

I think I have a broker's card here somewhere.

His name is, uh, Bob Holden.

And there's a place for sale.

It'd be nice to have some people our own age there.

I hope you at least go see him.

Find your dream house, like hell.

-Right now, I like the loft. -What's to like?

-You can't beat the price. -This is crazy.
