1. You know the kind of guy
who does nothin' but bad things
Copy !req
2. and then wonders why his life sucks?
Copy !req
3. Well, that was me.
Copy !req
4. Every time somethin' good happened to me,
Copy !req
5. somethin' bad was always
waitin' around the corner.
Copy !req
6. Karma.
Copy !req
7. That's when I realized I had to change.
Copy !req
8. So, I made a list of
everything bad I've ever done
Copy !req
9. and, one by one, I'm gonna
make up for all my mistakes.
Copy !req
10. I'm just tryin' to be a better person.
Copy !req
11. "Stole various snacks and drinks
Copy !req
12. from a local Quick Stop.
Copy !req
13. Of course, that was before
I turned my life around.
Copy !req
14. Luckily, Randy still had
his stealin' jacket,
Copy !req
15. and we had no problem
sneaking the stuff back in.
Copy !req
16. All right. Well, I guess
I can cross this one off.
Copy !req
17. Hang on a second, Earl.
Copy !req
18. I gotta put these back
Copy !req
19. on the little hot dog Ferris wheel.
Copy !req
20. Oh, my God!
Copy !req
21. What are you doing?
Copy !req
22. Natalie Duckworth is over there.
Copy !req
23. Who? Natalie Duckworth.
Copy !req
24. Number 84.
Copy !req
25. About seven years ago,
Copy !req
26. the Crab Shack was rented out
for a biker party.
Copy !req
27. No one hassled me at the door,
Copy !req
28. so I came in and learned a new phrase—
Copy !req
29. "open bar."
Copy !req
30. Beer, please.
Copy !req
31. Make it two.
Copy !req
32. I decided then and there
Copy !req
33. that I did, in fact, want a ride.
Copy !req
34. After what some might call
a few too many beers,
Copy !req
35. we went back to her house
and had a really good time
Copy !req
36. in the dark.
Copy !req
37. Then it got light... fast.
Copy !req
38. Wake up, sleepyhead.
Copy !req
39. What?
Copy !req
40. That was some costume party
last night, wasn't it?
Copy !req
41. What?
Copy !req
42. Oh, my God.
Copy !req
43. Whoops! My temporary
tattoo rubbed off on you.
Copy !req
44. Wow! I've never
Copy !req
45. brought a guy right home before.
Copy !req
46. This is wild, huh?
Copy !req
47. So, what do you want
Copy !req
48. to do today? Do you want
to go to the park?
Copy !req
49. Oh, my God, you know what would be great?
Copy !req
50. The farmers' market.
Copy !req
51. The who's what?
Copy !req
52. We were not cut from the same cloth.
Copy !req
53. But, no matter how different we were,
Copy !req
54. there was one thing we both liked.
Copy !req
55. Besides, I didn't want
Copy !req
56. to run out on her.
Copy !req
57. She had been hurt before.
Copy !req
58. This is Ted.
Copy !req
59. He left me for a stripper.
Copy !req
60. That's a lock of his hair.
Copy !req
61. That's a lock of the stripper's hair.
Copy !req
62. That's a lock of my sister's hair.
Copy !req
63. Which... leads us to John.
Copy !req
64. Even though I took home a Harley
Copy !req
65. and ended up with a moped,
Copy !req
66. I decided to give it a shot.
Copy !req
67. I mean, why not?
Copy !req
68. She was cute, and had a satellite
Copy !req
69. that sent kung fu movies from space.
Copy !req
70. Whoa!
Copy !req
71. It's a beautiful day out.
Copy !req
72. Let's go for a hike.
Copy !req
73. I was... I was going to watch
this kung fu movie.
Copy !req
74. Come on,
Copy !req
75. pwease go for a hike wit me?
Copy !req
76. I tried to seem interested
Copy !req
77. in the same things she was,
Copy !req
78. but it just didn't come natural to me.
Copy !req
79. Look, an anthemis tinctoria.
Copy !req
80. Wow, look at the size
of that dog turd next to it.
Copy !req
81. She wanted me to do arts and crafts.
Copy !req
82. It's called papier-mâché.
Copy !req
83. Somehow she figured out a way
to make newspapers
Copy !req
84. even more boring.
Copy !req
85. Oh, look, someone's fingers
are all sticky-wicky.
Copy !req
86. She even made me go on picnics.
Copy !req
87. So we just sit here?
Copy !req
88. Well, we're going to eat in a while.
Copy !req
89. What'll we do until then?
Copy !req
90. Just sit... talk.
Copy !req
91. You know, we passed a Denny's.
Copy !req
92. Before I knew it, we had
been dating for a whole month.
Copy !req
93. When her parents came out to visit
Copy !req
94. and we all got our faces
lasered in crystal,
Copy !req
95. I knew things were getting too serious.
Copy !req
96. I had to get out.
Copy !req
97. And I didn't want to hurt her feelings,
Copy !req
98. so I figured there was
only one thing to do.
Copy !req
99. Earl's dead.
Copy !req
100. He was lost at sea.
This is all they found of him.
Copy !req
101. I thought you'd want it.
Copy !req
102. I realize now that faking your death
Copy !req
103. to break up with someone
Copy !req
104. is not exactly thoughtful.
Copy !req
105. It was time to find a way
to cross her off the list.
Copy !req
106. You look like that little monkey in E.T.
Copy !req
107. Shh!
Copy !req
108. You faked your death?
Copy !req
109. I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Copy !req
110. This woman is very fragile.
Copy !req
111. Needy, clingy and fragile.
Copy !req
112. Here, put some more
baby's breath in there.
Copy !req
113. It fills in the gaps
with neutral coloring.
Copy !req
114. It's funny how the brain sucks things up.
Copy !req
115. One summer, Randy worked at a florist
Copy !req
116. for almost ten minutes.
Copy !req
117. I'm going to put in
some more baby's breath.
Copy !req
118. It fills in the gaps
with neutral coloring.
Copy !req
119. Ma'am, these vases always
going to make that sound
Copy !req
120. when I'm drying 'em?
Copy !req
121. The squeaking makes my toes hurt.
Copy !req
122. You can't just tell a girl
you faked your death
Copy !req
123. to get away from her.
She'll be devastated.
Copy !req
124. I have to tell her. It's on my list.
Copy !req
125. I lied to her, and the only way
Copy !req
126. I can cross it off is
if I tell her the truth.
Copy !req
127. So what is more important,
your list or someone's feelings?
Copy !req
128. I don't know.
Copy !req
129. My list? No.
Copy !req
130. Feelings. I bet it's feelings.
Copy !req
131. Look, I have to tell her.
Copy !req
132. She almost saw me today,
Copy !req
133. and I'm not going to hide
in another refrigerator.
Copy !req
134. Look, Earl, if you really
need to tell her,
Copy !req
135. at least say it was because of you.
Copy !req
136. Say you weren't good enough for her.
Copy !req
137. That's another lie.
Copy !req
138. But it's a good lie. To protect her.
Copy !req
139. Maybe you should listen to Catalina.
Copy !req
140. She's a woman, just like Natalie.
Copy !req
141. They're both women— her and Natalie.
Copy !req
142. You and I are men. We're not women.
Copy !req
143. Sometimes Randy takes a long road
Copy !req
144. to a simple thought.
Copy !req
145. You see, men think different than women.
Copy !req
146. You and I think different
than Natalie and Catalina,
Copy !req
147. 'cause we're men and they're women.
Copy !req
148. I'm right, right? I'm not wrong.
Copy !req
149. Am I wrong?
Copy !req
150. No.
Copy !req
151. Randy's long thought was right.
Copy !req
152. Catalina seemed to know
a lot more about women
Copy !req
153. than I did, so I decided
to take her advice.
Copy !req
154. Surprise.
Copy !req
155. Whoa! That was just like in E.T.
Copy !req
156. when that little girl
first saw the monkey.
Copy !req
157. You see, it wasn't you.
It was... it was me.
Copy !req
158. I pretended to be dead
because I was afraid
Copy !req
159. I wasn't good enough for you.
Copy !req
160. I mourned you for months.
Copy !req
161. I kept your shirt.
Copy !req
162. I even made a papier-mâché
bust of you to wear it.
Copy !req
163. Very nice.
Copy !req
164. Very detailed.
Copy !req
165. See, it was that kind
of perfection in your life
Copy !req
166. that made me feel inadequate.
Copy !req
167. It was that kind of perfection
in your life
Copy !req
168. that made him feel inadequate.
Copy !req
169. Hey, it turned you into a mushroom.
Copy !req
170. Are you all right?
Copy !req
171. Talk to me.
Copy !req
172. I just wish you would
Copy !req
173. have said something.
Copy !req
174. Why wouldn't you just tell me?
Copy !req
175. I mean, what does that say about me?
Copy !req
176. No-nothing.
Copy !req
177. It doesn't say anything about you.
Copy !req
178. It's not your fault.
Copy !req
179. You're perfect.
Copy !req
180. I'm the one.
Copy !req
181. It was me.
Copy !req
182. Sorry I'm late, sweetie.
Copy !req
183. I hit the gym.
Copy !req
184. Took the fast train
Copy !req
185. to ab-town.
Copy !req
186. Are you being robbed?
Copy !req
187. No.
Copy !req
188. This is my ex-boyfriend Earl.
Copy !req
189. The one with the stripper?
Copy !req
190. No, I'm the dead one.
Copy !req
191. Are these candies free?
Copy !req
192. Thanks for telling me the truth.
Copy !req
193. Darn it. It really makes me
Copy !req
194. feel better knowing that you're alive.
Copy !req
195. I just wanted to make sure you were happy.
Copy !req
196. I'm glad you found Dirk.
Copy !req
197. He seems perfect for you.
Copy !req
198. Thanks.
Copy !req
199. We only met three weeks ago,
but we just clicked.
Copy !req
200. That's great.
Copy !req
201. Good for you.
Copy !req
202. Well, I should, uh...
Copy !req
203. Oh, wait a sec.
Copy !req
204. I want you to have this.
Copy !req
205. I'm glad you're not dead.
Copy !req
206. Good-bye, little fella.
Copy !req
207. Good-bye, Natalie.
Copy !req
208. Thanks for making me.
Copy !req
209. All... righty.
Copy !req
210. I'll see you later. Bye.
Copy !req
211. I was feeling pretty good about Natalie
Copy !req
212. and how we left things.
Copy !req
213. And the me made out of wet newspaper
Copy !req
214. added a nice decorative touch to the room.
Copy !req
215. Randy, have you seen the pen?
Copy !req
216. I need to cross Natalie off my list.
Copy !req
217. Nope.
Copy !req
218. Catalina, how often
do you clean the bedspreads?
Copy !req
219. I don't know. I've only worked
here for a year.
Copy !req
220. Dirk is gone!
Copy !req
221. What?
Copy !req
222. Dirk is gone!
Copy !req
223. When we got Natalie calmed down,
Copy !req
224. she explained that something
terrible had happened to Dirk.
Copy !req
225. The police found his car in the woods
Copy !req
226. with blood in it!
Copy !req
227. They think he might have been killed!
Copy !req
228. Earl, is she gonna
Copy !req
229. keep squeaking like that?
Copy !req
230. It's making my toes hurt.
Copy !req
231. Just, uh... sit here
and-and-and try to calm down.
Copy !req
232. I'll get you something to drink.
Copy !req
233. Oh, yeah, feel that.
Copy !req
234. How do you like that rock hard candy, hmm?
Copy !req
235. Dirk?
Copy !req
236. Hey, Earl.
Copy !req
237. Don't tell me your hooker works here, too.
Copy !req
238. You're supposed to be dead.
Copy !req
239. Well...
Copy !req
240. Yeah, I know.
Copy !req
241. Thanks for the idea.
Copy !req
242. Boy, just in time.
Copy !req
243. I was just about to build
a noose out of papier-mâché
Copy !req
244. and hang myself at a picnic.
Copy !req
245. Earl?
Copy !req
246. Hey.
Copy !req
247. I'm just going to go home.
Copy !req
248. It's probably best if I wait there,
Copy !req
249. in case the police call.
Copy !req
250. Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
Copy !req
251. Yeah.
Copy !req
252. Okay, right there! You found it!
Copy !req
253. I can't believe Dirk faked his death, too.
Copy !req
254. He got the idea from me.
Copy !req
255. That's why karma wouldn't let me
find a pen and cross her off.
Copy !req
256. I'm not done.
Copy !req
257. Are you going to tell her that he's alive?
Copy !req
258. She thinks he's dead, but he's not.
Copy !req
259. He's not dead. He's living. He's alive.
Copy !req
260. He's not dead like she thinks he is.
Copy !req
261. I think I should tell her, right?
Copy !req
262. You can't tell a girl two different men
Copy !req
263. faked their deaths to get away from her.
Copy !req
264. It would crush her spirit.
Copy !req
265. But what am I supposed to do then?
Copy !req
266. She's very upset.
Copy !req
267. She's been through a lot... she thinks.
Copy !req
268. So be her friend. Comfort her.
Copy !req
269. Maybe, if a man is nice
to her for a change,
Copy !req
270. it will build up her confidence.
Copy !req
271. Trust me. I'm a woman.
Copy !req
272. She's right, Earl. She is a woman.
Copy !req
273. And we're men.
Copy !req
274. You remember how we talked about that.
Copy !req
275. Yeah, I got it, Randy. Thanks.
Copy !req
276. The first few days
of hanging out with Natalie,
Copy !req
277. all she did was wait
for the phone to ring.
Copy !req
278. Since I knew it wasn't gonna,
Copy !req
279. I thought I should
get her out of the house.
Copy !req
280. Who's up for a hike?
Copy !req
281. Come on! You love hikes!
Copy !req
282. Mmm.
Copy !req
283. Pwease go on a hike wit me.
Copy !req
284. Otay.
Copy !req
285. See? Hiking!
Copy !req
286. Huh? This is fun!
Copy !req
287. I like going uphill.
Copy !req
288. I wish we could go uphill on the way back.
Copy !req
289. All I had to do was seem interested
Copy !req
290. in the things she liked doing,
Copy !req
291. and she started to cheer up.
Copy !req
292. Hiking turned into arts and crafts...
Copy !req
293. I started to make you a magical fairy,
Copy !req
294. but I ended up with a magical clump.
Copy !req
295. Thanks.
Copy !req
296. It's a very nice clump.
Copy !req
297. I'll name him Alexander.
Copy !req
298. Alexander the Clump.
Copy !req
299. Or Pepe. How about "Pepe the Clump"?
Copy !req
300. I don't get it. Why Pepe?
Copy !req
301. Oh, Pepe's a name.
Copy !req
302. I think it's Mexican.
Copy !req
303. Jose, Rico...
Copy !req
304. Yeah, it's Mexican.
Copy !req
305. Papier-mâché-ing turned into picnicking.
Copy !req
306. For smelling like feet,
Copy !req
307. this cheese is pretty damn good.
Copy !req
308. I love you.
Copy !req
309. What?
Copy !req
310. Then our picnic somehow
turned into a relationship.
Copy !req
311. I don't ever want you to think
Copy !req
312. you're not good enough for me again.
Copy !req
313. You're perfect for me.
Copy !req
314. My little butterfly
Copy !req
315. flew away, but he came back.
Copy !req
316. He came back.
Copy !req
317. And, like a butterfly,
I, too, was trapped.
Copy !req
318. But, instead of a net,
Copy !req
319. I was caught by a crazy girl
wiping her nose on me.
Copy !req
320. She told me she loves me.
Copy !req
321. What?
Copy !req
322. I was nice to her, like you told me to,
Copy !req
323. and she told me she loved me.
Copy !req
324. She even rubbed her nose
against mine, real soft.
Copy !req
325. What'd that feel like?
Copy !req
326. It tickled for a second,
but then it itched.
Copy !req
327. You must have been too nice to her.
Copy !req
328. Too nice? You didn't tell me
Copy !req
329. how nice to be to her. You just told me
Copy !req
330. to be nice.
She thinks we're back together.
Copy !req
331. Hey, Earl, is there
a condom machine around here?
Copy !req
332. No, Dirk.
Copy !req
333. Hey, what are these?
Copy !req
334. Shower caps.
Copy !req
335. That could work.
Copy !req
336. Hey, Earl,
Copy !req
337. you want me to tell Natalie
you're dead again?
Copy !req
338. You can't do that.
Copy !req
339. Well, what am I supposed to do then, huh?
Copy !req
340. I mean, I don't want to hurt her feelings,
Copy !req
341. but how am I supposed to get rid of her?
Copy !req
342. She's been kicked around by men
her whole life.
Copy !req
343. You have to give her the power.
Copy !req
344. Let her break up with you.
Copy !req
345. She won't do that. Thanks to you,
Copy !req
346. I'm her nature-hiking,
Copy !req
347. papier-mâchéing, soft-nose-rubbing,
Copy !req
348. butterfly in shining armor.
Copy !req
349. So change.
Copy !req
350. Be a bad boyfriend.
Copy !req
351. Bad boyfriend?
Copy !req
352. It's not that easy.
Copy !req
353. Being mean goes against everything
Copy !req
354. I stand for these days.
Copy !req
355. Hey, Catalina,
the mousecatcher's full again.
Copy !req
356. I knew being a bad guy
was going to be hard
Copy !req
357. but, since Catalina said
it was for Natalie's own good,
Copy !req
358. I gave it my all.
Copy !req
359. Hey, look at the pretty yellow flowers.
Copy !req
360. Aw...
Copy !req
361. Happy Fourth of July!
Copy !req
362. Check it out. I made your bust.
Copy !req
363. I upped you a cup.
Copy !req
364. You're welcome.
Copy !req
365. Ah!
Copy !req
366. Honey, you think it might be better
Copy !req
367. to relieve yourself a little
farther away from the blanket?
Copy !req
368. Nah.
Copy !req
369. This poor girl was so insecure,
Copy !req
370. there wasn't anything
she wouldn't put up with.
Copy !req
371. Did you throw away my junk?
Copy !req
372. Nothing worked.
Copy !req
373. I was running out of ideas,
Copy !req
374. so Catalina agreed to help me
put an end to the whole thing,
Copy !req
375. once and for all.
Copy !req
376. Come in.
Copy !req
377. Oh, yeah, mama!
Copy !req
378. Oh!
Copy !req
379. Earl, what's going on?
Copy !req
380. Oh, just blowing off a little steam.
Copy !req
381. Having a good time.
Copy !req
382. Can't a guy have a party around here
Copy !req
383. without getting hassled?
Copy !req
384. Get off my back.
Copy !req
385. You're right, Earl.
Sorry for interrupting.
Copy !req
386. Just have fun
and call me when you're done.
Copy !req
387. Call me when you're done?
Copy !req
388. I'm in bed with another woman.
Copy !req
389. Don't you want to slap me?
Copy !req
390. Do you want me to?
Copy !req
391. Natalie, this is not working.
Copy !req
392. Remember when I said
it wasn't you, it was me?
Copy !req
393. Well, it's not me.
Copy !req
394. It's you. It's all you. Earl...
Copy !req
395. No, no, no, no, no. I'm done
listening to you.
Copy !req
396. You're just as crazy as she is!
Copy !req
397. The truth is, you're clingy.
Copy !req
398. You're a doormat.
You have no self-respect.
Copy !req
399. That's why guys want to leave you.
Copy !req
400. They have to get away from you.
Copy !req
401. And that's why I'm trying
Copy !req
402. to get you to break up with me now.
Copy !req
403. Oh, yeah? Well, maybe it is you.
Copy !req
404. Because Dirk didn't think I was a doormat.
Copy !req
405. He didn't want to leave me.
Copy !req
406. He loved me for who I am.
Copy !req
407. Hey, Earl.
Copy !req
408. Are there no other motels in this town?
Copy !req
409. Well, that went well.
Copy !req
410. Look, I know I was hard on her,
Copy !req
411. but she needed to hear the truth.
Copy !req
412. And, when she's over being upset,
Copy !req
413. it's going to make her a better
person for the rest of her life.
Copy !req
414. As it turned out, the rest
of her life wasn't that long.
Copy !req
415. Sadly, Natalie's parents told me
Copy !req
416. she was so distraught over yet
another relationship ending
Copy !req
417. that she took her own life.
Copy !req
418. Yes! Yes! Yes!
Copy !req
419. Who's the joke on now, Earl Hickey?
Copy !req
420. Who's the joke on now?
Copy !req
421. Me? That's right. Y-O-U.
Copy !req
422. How does it feel, huh?
Copy !req
423. How does it feel to think someone's dead?
Copy !req
424. Crappy?
Copy !req
425. Crappy's right.
Copy !req
426. That's exactly how
you made me feel, Earl— twice!
Copy !req
427. It turned out that Catalina
and I were both kinda right.
Copy !req
428. By being honest with Natlie,
I made her mad.
Copy !req
429. That anger gave her the idea
to fake her death
Copy !req
430. and, by doing that,
Copy !req
431. she finally got to leave her relationship
Copy !req
432. with the power that Catalina
said she needed.
Copy !req
433. Natalie had finally stood up
for herself, and I
Copy !req
434. admired her for that.
Copy !req
435. Although her parents
had a different opinion.
Copy !req
436. You could've at least
told us you were faking!
Copy !req
437. It had to seem real, Mom. Lighten up.
Copy !req
438. She's alive!
Copy !req
439. Clearly, Natalie had finally
found her backbone.
Copy !req
440. And, as I had hoped,
it carried on past her funeral
Copy !req
441. and into the rest of her life.
Copy !req
442. Hey, Dirk, still getting your mail.
Copy !req
443. It's from the clinic.
Copy !req
444. Somebody got themselves an STD.
Copy !req
445. I can deal with that.
Copy !req
446. Turn the page.
Copy !req
447. Aw, crap!
Copy !req
448. Damn shower caps!
Copy !req
449. Her newfound confidence
even let her finally showcase
Copy !req
450. her wet newspaper art in a public setting.
Copy !req
451. And, because I'd earned it,
Copy !req
452. karma finally let me find a pen.
Copy !req
453. It was nice to see Natalie
so happy, wasn't it?
Copy !req
454. Yeah. I'm glad she's not dead anymore.
Copy !req
455. Being dead is definitely
worse than being alive.
Copy !req
456. When you're dead,
you can't do all the cool stuff
Copy !req
457. you can do when you're alive.
Copy !req
458. You and I, we can do
all kinds of cool stuff
Copy !req
459. 'cause we're living.
Copy !req
460. We're not dead. We're alive.
Copy !req
461. If we were dead,
Copy !req
462. we wouldn't be able
to do all the cool stuff
Copy !req
463. we can do because we're alive.
Copy !req
464. Dead people can't do cool stuff.
Copy !req
465. Only people that are alive
can do cool stuff
Copy !req
466. because they're living.
Copy !req
467. And you have to be living
to be able to do cool stuff.
Copy !req
468. You have to be alive.
Copy !req
469. Yeah, except, when you're alive,
Copy !req
470. sometimes, bad stuff happens, too.
Copy !req
471. Like, sometimes,
you can get in a car wreck,
Copy !req
472. or you can have a headache,
or twist your ankle,
Copy !req
473. or even stub your big toe.
Copy !req
474. So being alive's kinda hard, too,
Copy !req
475. but I think it's definitely
better than being a-dead.
