Fixer Upper (Renovation of the Heart/It's a Fixer Upper)

The Museum opened in 1872.

The main building, is one of the world's

largest art galleries.

Our permanent collection contains over two million artworks,

as well as an extensive holding of African,

Asian, Oceanian, Byzantine, and Islamic art.

Now, here we are about to enter

one of my favorite styles of painting.

Who knows what style of painting this is?

Impressionism?

That's right.

The impressionist artists didn't try

to paint realistic pictures,

but merely an impression of what they saw.

Claude Monet said, "Try to forget what objects

"are before you: a tree, a house, a field.

"Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue,

"'here an oblong of pink, here a yellow streak,'

"and try to paint exactly as it looks to you,

"the exact shape and color, until it gives you

"your own impression of the scene before you."

He saw something beautiful.

But he led a tortured life.

All the good ones did.

- Yeah, but look at those bold strokes of color

and the movement.

It's so free.

I could admire it all day.

But I can't, because I've got to go meet Dan.

Have you told him yet?

I shouldn't have to tell him.

He should know.

- He needs to be told what he wants, what you want.

You don't want to end up alone like me.

- Oh you always say you want to be left alone.

- I want to be left alone, I don't want to be alone.

I don't know what I would say.

Just work it into the conversation.

Say, "Honey, I feel a distance growing between us

"and I need things to change."

Keep it short, but honest.

I don't call him honey.

What do you call him?

I call him Dan.

- You don't have a cute nicknames you call him?

I used to call him Danny.

Danny, I feel a distance between us

and I feel like things to change.

He isn't really a Danny, is he?

- Forget it I'm-- - No, no, no, no.

That was good, no.

But say "need", use the word "need".

- Yes. - And look into his eyes.

- Okay. - And hold his hand,

so there's no question about what you want.

Right.

I need things to change.

I need things to change.

I've gotta go.

Oh, and hey.

And wear something a little ...

You know, in case he doesn't listen.

Have a nice evening Mrs. Dover.

Thanks, Harry.

That's a nice shot.

So, it might not be a bad idea

for you to lay low for a little while.

Lay low from who?

Is there a problem?

- No, of course not, but it'd probably be better

if I handled things so our stories line up.

- (chuckling) Why wouldn't our stories line up?

Well they absolutely would,

but there's no need to confuse things.

You know, you and Anne should get away,

take a month or ...

Fore.

Should I be concerned?

Mildly interested at most.

Let me handle it, that's why I'm here.

You said that the numbers were good.

Absolutely, they were, but it's ...

But what?

Someone is saying that they came up

with the design before us.

There's a very small lawsuit.

It's nothing, really.

It's mostly paperwork, and I'm sure it'll be fine.

What if it's not?

We tweak the design a little.

Another cash call.

How much?

Let's not talk numbers.

You're already having an off game.

You said that this was a no risk deal.

Nothing is no risk.

You know that.

- Without talking numbers, how bad is it?

You can't keep a good man down.

You know how the story goes.

You think a guys's lost it all,

but then he comes back stronger and wiser

and conquers the giant.

No, I can't lose it all.

Well look at the bright side.

You're young.

You've got plenty of time to start over.

With what?

You have got your health.

My chest feels tight.

- You have a beautiful wife who loves you very much.

That's worth all the money in the world.

When Celia heard the news, she packed her bags and left me.

That's why she left you?

She said she didn't love me anymore,

but I'm convinced that her feelings

were influenced by the shrinking of my bank account.

- I don't understand why you didn't just try the lamb.

I don't eat lamb.

Thank you.

Yeah, but you never know unless you try.

You might love it.

Danny ...

Sorry.

I just feel like there's a distance between us, you know?

And you know how it's easy for people to just drift apart?

I feel like the question is what do we,

where do we go-- - Happy birthday!

Oh wow, thank you.

Thanks very much.

Do you want some of this?

No, thank you.

I just, I don't want to end up like that.

You know?

We don't spend any time together.

Well we're here now.

It's your birthday.

Yeah, that's true.

35, seven years into my five-year plan. (chuckling)

I mean, we're not getting any younger.

Why don't we do something spontaneous?

Spontaneous?

- Who knows what's out there, what adventures await us?

Yeah, we ...

We could go to Italy or Paris.

That could be ...

- Or we could go somewhere we haven't been yet.

Yeah?

Like where?

We could take the boat out for a spin.

The Caymans.

I don't ...

I don't want to live on a boat.

Well you never know unless you try.

I don't like the water.

That's the point of a boat.

You're on the water, you're not in it.

I don't want to be in the boat.

Okay.

What if we stayed at your parents' place?

Why?

It could be fun, I don't know.

There's nothing to do there.

It just seems--

- Exactly, it would be a total change of pace.

I just, I'm not ready, and I just--

You know, my therapist said I would know when it's time,

and I just, I don't feel like it's time.

Yeah.

- Sorry to interrupt, but your card's been declined.

Uh ...

It's just not working.

Let me get you ...

Try that.

What I'm trying to say ...

is that I need ...

I want things to change.

Sorry.

Here, I'll pay cash.

I'm short.

Do you have any cash on you?

Just $10.

Thank you.

I just need to move some things around.

Excuse me.

I did what you said,

I told him that I wasn't happy, that I wanted more.

I don't think I said that.

I said "needed".

Did you say "needed"?

I don't know.

I mean, there was a cake and this waitress with this hair,

and she was all like, you know, and a boat.

It sounded like you said boat.

- Yeah, as soon as I said change, he was on board.

But I that's what you wanted.

I don't know, I guess ...

I guess I just like wanted him

to look at me the way that he used to, you know?

I don't think he really even sees me anymore.
