1
00:00:03,717 --> 00:00:05,510
Hey, what took you so long?
Come on in.

2
00:00:05,594 --> 00:00:07,488
Hey. No, no. Why are we having
a secret meeting in an empty loft?

3
00:00:07,512 --> 00:00:09,112
Because I don't want Schmidt to find us.

4
00:00:09,181 --> 00:00:11,016
- I know, right?
- It's creepy, right?

5
00:00:11,099 --> 00:00:14,394
- Yeah, it is.
- This place gives me the willies, man.

6
00:00:14,478 --> 00:00:15,955
Do you know why they can't
keep a tenant in here?

7
00:00:15,979 --> 00:00:18,815
- Why?
- Because Mrs. Beverly died on the toilet.

8
00:00:18,899 --> 00:00:21,193
And to come here on Halloween?

9
00:00:21,276 --> 00:00:22,277
Seems risky.

10
00:00:22,361 --> 00:00:24,237
- What's risky?
- The ghost situation.

11
00:00:24,321 --> 00:00:26,615
I brought you guys in here
to talk about Schmidt.

12
00:00:26,698 --> 00:00:27,949
I'm really worried about him.

13
00:00:28,033 --> 00:00:29,826
He hasn't been to work
for three days.

14
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:31,828
He just sits on the couch
eating cold cuts

15
00:00:31,912 --> 00:00:34,289
and yelling at the news
about how nothing matters.

16
00:00:34,373 --> 00:00:36,750
- It's a problem. Be honest.
- Right.

17
00:00:36,833 --> 00:00:38,269
He's just going through
a whole thing, you know?

18
00:00:38,293 --> 00:00:40,629
The Cece-Elizabeth breakup
has gotten to him.

19
00:00:40,712 --> 00:00:44,341
Right now
he is completely unhinged.

20
00:00:44,424 --> 00:00:45,425
Y'all feel that?

21
00:00:45,509 --> 00:00:46,510
What is going on?

22
00:00:46,593 --> 00:00:47,779
Not saying there's a ghost,
but I felt a weird breeze

23
00:00:47,803 --> 00:00:49,739
- go through my body, that's all.
- There's no ghost.

24
00:00:49,763 --> 00:00:52,224
Guys, I can't believe
I'm saying this, but…

25
00:00:52,307 --> 00:00:53,892
I miss the old Schmidt.

26
00:00:53,976 --> 00:00:55,727
I want him to be happy again.

27
00:00:55,811 --> 00:00:58,522
He's crumbling before our very eyes.

28
00:00:58,605 --> 00:01:00,440
And I'm having a party tonight,

29
00:01:00,524 --> 00:01:02,859
and I just can't have him
lying on the couch,

30
00:01:02,943 --> 00:01:04,945
wiping his tears with deli meat.

31
00:01:05,028 --> 00:01:07,030
I'll talk to him, okay?

32
00:01:07,114 --> 00:01:09,449
- Thank you.
- People get weird with breakups.

33
00:01:09,533 --> 00:01:11,368
Trust me, I got this.

34
00:01:11,451 --> 00:01:13,870
- You got this.
- That was Winston.

35
00:01:13,954 --> 00:01:15,807
Was that you or was that
in here, dude? That was…

36
00:01:15,831 --> 00:01:17,040
Don't do that!

37
00:01:19,501 --> 00:01:22,045
Oh, come on, Obama.

38
00:01:22,129 --> 00:01:24,673
Tanks pull in, tanks pull out.

39
00:01:24,756 --> 00:01:26,341
Babies are born,

40
00:01:26,425 --> 00:01:27,926
old people die.

41
00:01:28,010 --> 00:01:31,555
And yet the world keeps spinning
and spinning and spinning,

42
00:01:31,638 --> 00:01:33,307
and one day, it stops.

43
00:01:33,390 --> 00:01:34,683
And then what?

44
00:01:34,766 --> 00:01:38,353
You want… You want to talk about…
Health care?

45
00:01:40,522 --> 00:01:41,523
That's mayo, buddy.

46
00:01:44,067 --> 00:01:46,320
Yeah, I don't got this.

47
00:01:49,323 --> 00:01:50,866
Who's that girl?

48
00:01:50,949 --> 00:01:52,993
- Who's that girl?
- It's Jess!

49
00:01:59,374 --> 00:02:00,417
Pumpkining.

50
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,561
You're really good at that.

51
00:02:01,585 --> 00:02:04,171
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah. What are you carving there?

52
00:02:04,254 --> 00:02:06,590
- It's a pumpkin.
- Oh, look at that. That's beautiful.

53
00:02:06,673 --> 00:02:07,674
My pumpkin!

54
00:02:07,758 --> 00:02:08,884
Pumpkin doesn't matter.

55
00:02:08,967 --> 00:02:10,761
- Hey. I just wanted…
- Hey.

56
00:02:10,844 --> 00:02:11,887
To talk to you, um,

57
00:02:11,970 --> 00:02:13,972
about my party tonight.

58
00:02:14,056 --> 00:02:15,974
You don't want me to come
to the party?

59
00:02:16,058 --> 00:02:18,101
No, no, no, no, no, no.

60
00:02:18,185 --> 00:02:19,329
Jess, do you not want me
to come to your party?

61
00:02:19,353 --> 00:02:21,104
No. I… No.

62
00:02:21,188 --> 00:02:22,939
- Doesn't matter.
- I wouldn't go

63
00:02:23,023 --> 00:02:25,150
- if I weren't throwing it, you know?
- Mmm-hmm.

64
00:02:25,233 --> 00:02:27,235
It's, like, more
of a business-networking…

65
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:28,796
It's not a big deal at all.
I just won't come.

66
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:30,280
I'll stay at home, and…

67
00:02:30,364 --> 00:02:32,157
I'll just hang out in my costume.

68
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,451
Oh, wait a minute.

69
00:02:34,534 --> 00:02:36,953
Your home is my home.

70
00:02:41,041 --> 00:02:42,584
See you at the party.

71
00:02:42,668 --> 00:02:44,878
- What the hell?
- He's a total maniac.

72
00:02:44,961 --> 00:02:46,505
Well, you know what, Jess?

73
00:02:46,588 --> 00:02:48,173
He doesn't get like this often.

74
00:02:48,256 --> 00:02:50,258
But when he does,

75
00:02:50,342 --> 00:02:52,302
oh, there is an option.

76
00:02:52,386 --> 00:02:53,595
Nick,

77
00:02:53,679 --> 00:02:56,239
I think it's time for Schmidt
to get a letter from an old friend.

78
00:02:56,264 --> 00:02:57,867
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
- What old friend?

79
00:02:57,891 --> 00:02:59,869
- Forget you heard anything. Nothing, J…
- What old friend?

80
00:02:59,893 --> 00:03:01,829
- We need him. We gotta bring him back.
- No, we don't.

81
00:03:01,853 --> 00:03:03,605
- Bring who back?
- Winston, don't do this!

82
00:03:03,689 --> 00:03:06,066
Guys, does nobody listen to me?
Who is he?

83
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:08,026
Michael Keaton.

84
00:03:08,110 --> 00:03:09,319
You stupid…

85
00:03:09,403 --> 00:03:10,988
Michael Keaton, the actor?

86
00:03:11,071 --> 00:03:12,197
The Batman?

87
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,241
Nick, are you gonna tell her,
or should I?

88
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:16,785
- I'm not telling her.
- Fine. I'll do it.

89
00:03:16,868 --> 00:03:19,454
- You will?
- When Schmidt was seven years old…

90
00:03:19,538 --> 00:03:21,039
You're a terrible storyteller.

91
00:03:21,123 --> 00:03:23,166
I'll just do it myself, I guess.

92
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,504
When Schmidt was seven years old,

93
00:03:27,587 --> 00:03:29,840
his daddy divorced his mommy

94
00:03:29,923 --> 00:03:33,635
and Schmidt was left
without the love of a father.

95
00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:35,721
He didn't take it well.

96
00:03:35,804 --> 00:03:38,932
He began an endless cycle
of crying and chocolate.

97
00:03:39,016 --> 00:03:41,226
Mrs. Schmidt tried everything
to cheer him up,

98
00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:43,020
but nothing worked.

99
00:03:43,103 --> 00:03:45,731
Desperate, she looked to the stars.

100
00:03:45,814 --> 00:03:47,149
Movie stars.

101
00:03:47,232 --> 00:03:49,860
Mrs. Schmidt wrote that little fat loser

102
00:03:49,943 --> 00:03:51,903
a letter of support from the star

103
00:03:51,987 --> 00:03:53,089
of his favorite movie, Batman.

104
00:03:53,113 --> 00:03:55,032
But not the confusing new one.

105
00:03:55,115 --> 00:03:57,826
The good one, with Michael Keaton.

106
00:03:58,618 --> 00:04:00,120
And when Schmidt got

107
00:04:00,203 --> 00:04:02,581
his disgusting chubby hands
on Keaton's letter,

108
00:04:02,664 --> 00:04:04,166
his life changed forever.

109
00:04:04,249 --> 00:04:05,584
Yes!

110
00:04:05,667 --> 00:04:07,377
But the real trouble
was just beginning.

111
00:04:07,461 --> 00:04:10,714
You see, Schmidt wrote back.
And he kept writing back

112
00:04:10,797 --> 00:04:13,925
about any problem he faced,
bullies, schoolwork,

113
00:04:14,009 --> 00:04:16,261
public erections.

114
00:04:17,012 --> 00:04:20,390
And for every letter he sent,
Michael Keaton sent one back.

115
00:04:20,474 --> 00:04:22,142
Was Winston's version shorter?

116
00:04:22,684 --> 00:04:25,854
Then one day, that tubby goon
went off to college.

117
00:04:25,937 --> 00:04:29,524
So Mrs. Schmidt unloaded the secret
on her son's only friend,

118
00:04:29,608 --> 00:04:31,777
a man named me. It was me.

119
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:33,671
Yeah, I got that.
Really? People don't…

120
00:04:33,695 --> 00:04:35,364
No, I got it.

121
00:04:35,447 --> 00:04:36,767
College proved tough for Schmidt,

122
00:04:36,823 --> 00:04:38,450
and old patterns soon returned.

123
00:04:40,285 --> 00:04:44,289
It became impossible to study,
and I knew what I had to do.

124
00:04:44,373 --> 00:04:45,582
And again…

125
00:04:45,666 --> 00:04:47,167
- New message.
- It worked.

126
00:04:47,250 --> 00:04:49,461
With Keaton in his corner,
he pulled himself away

127
00:04:49,544 --> 00:04:50,754
from that bag of turkey

128
00:04:50,837 --> 00:04:52,756
- and became a man.
- One…

129
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,633
He lost five pounds,

130
00:04:54,716 --> 00:04:56,426
gained confidence with women

131
00:04:57,761 --> 00:05:00,597
and he saw the hit movie Multiplicity

132
00:05:00,681 --> 00:05:02,808
- 25 times.
- Oh, my God.

133
00:05:02,891 --> 00:05:04,476
You've been catfishing Schmidt.

134
00:05:04,559 --> 00:05:06,621
Do you think we could use
this whole Michael Keaton thing

135
00:05:06,645 --> 00:05:08,647
- to turn Schmidt around?
- Absolutely.

136
00:05:08,730 --> 00:05:09,832
- Great!
- But I won't do it.

137
00:05:09,856 --> 00:05:10,857
Why not?

138
00:05:10,941 --> 00:05:12,567
Because I put it to bed, okay?

139
00:05:12,651 --> 00:05:13,652
It's over.

140
00:05:13,735 --> 00:05:15,195
He'll do anything Keaton says.

141
00:05:15,278 --> 00:05:16,989
The letters are too powerful.

142
00:05:17,072 --> 00:05:18,824
I'm lying to my best friend.

143
00:05:18,907 --> 00:05:20,176
And I also feel like I'm betraying

144
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,244
the real Keaton, who I really love.

145
00:05:22,327 --> 00:05:24,496
Well, then why did you tell me
that whole story, Nick?

146
00:05:24,579 --> 00:05:26,832
Because it's a great story,
and I'm a teller of stories.

147
00:05:26,915 --> 00:05:29,126
But I won't do it. Sorry.

148
00:05:29,209 --> 00:05:30,969
You think you tell that story
better than me?

149
00:05:31,003 --> 00:05:32,803
Look, you leave out
way too many details, man.

150
00:05:32,879 --> 00:05:35,132
You don't just say
he was chewing a candy bar.

151
00:05:35,215 --> 00:05:37,718
You say he was chewing
on a nougat-y candy bar.

152
00:05:37,801 --> 00:05:39,803
That's not
the kind of writer I am.

153
00:05:39,886 --> 00:05:41,155
I don't say words like "nougat-y."

154
00:05:41,179 --> 00:05:43,473
I'm simple. I'm like Hemingway.

155
00:05:54,735 --> 00:05:57,696
- Hey, Cece.
- Oh, hey.

156
00:05:57,779 --> 00:05:59,948
I came to find out if you're
coming to my party today.

157
00:06:00,032 --> 00:06:01,533
You never answered my e-mail.

158
00:06:01,616 --> 00:06:03,744
Yeah, I meant to, uh,
to tell you I can't make it.

159
00:06:03,827 --> 00:06:05,329
Sorry. Um…

160
00:06:05,412 --> 00:06:07,664
I've been going out
drinking a lot lately.

161
00:06:07,748 --> 00:06:09,458
It's kind of wiping me out.

162
00:06:11,626 --> 00:06:13,420
Please come to my party, Cece.

163
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:14,880
It's Schmidt, you know?

164
00:06:14,963 --> 00:06:17,090
- I don't think I'm ready for that, so…
- Yeah.

165
00:06:17,174 --> 00:06:20,594
What if I could promise you
Schmidt wouldn't be there?

166
00:06:27,517 --> 00:06:28,560
Who wants candy?

167
00:06:28,644 --> 00:06:30,187
- Did you go trick-or-treating?
- No.

168
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:31,855
I was out, I had my errand tote,

169
00:06:31,938 --> 00:06:33,649
and a couple of neighbors
gave me candy.

170
00:06:33,732 --> 00:06:35,317
Is that trick-or-treating?

171
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,378
Yes, that's the definition
of trick-or-treating, Jess.

172
00:06:37,402 --> 00:06:40,072
Hello! Uh, Jess, I'd like you to
know that I've changed my mind,

173
00:06:40,155 --> 00:06:42,199
and I won't be coming
to your party tonight.

174
00:06:42,282 --> 00:06:45,661
I've been e-mailing with an old
friend of mine, and he made me

175
00:06:45,744 --> 00:06:47,579
realize that I should give Cece her space.

176
00:06:47,663 --> 00:06:48,664
An old friend, huh?

177
00:06:48,747 --> 00:06:50,457
Well, Nick knows. You know, I don't like

178
00:06:50,540 --> 00:06:51,625
to throw his name around

179
00:06:51,708 --> 00:06:53,102
because I don't like people treating me

180
00:06:53,126 --> 00:06:54,878
any differently, but…
It's Michael Keaton.

181
00:06:54,961 --> 00:06:57,673
What?

182
00:06:57,756 --> 00:07:00,008
Uh, okay. Calm down.

183
00:07:00,092 --> 00:07:02,094
The actor?

184
00:07:02,177 --> 00:07:04,888
Seriously, you guys.
Don't treat me any different.

185
00:07:04,972 --> 00:07:06,366
He's kind of my friend. Michael Keaton.

186
00:07:06,390 --> 00:07:07,700
There was one time he e-mailed me.

187
00:07:07,724 --> 00:07:09,017
He said he was my best friend.

188
00:07:09,101 --> 00:07:11,144
Anyway, we have so much
catching up to do,

189
00:07:11,228 --> 00:07:12,705
me and Michael, so just enjoy the night.

190
00:07:12,729 --> 00:07:15,315
- That's crazy, Schmidt.
- Ah, man.

191
00:07:16,441 --> 00:07:17,901
What did you do?

192
00:07:17,985 --> 00:07:19,277
Jessica damn Day.

193
00:07:19,361 --> 00:07:21,154
I just got Schmidt
to not come to the party.

194
00:07:21,238 --> 00:07:23,573
Keaton hasn't written Schmidt
in three years.

195
00:07:23,657 --> 00:07:26,243
We have no idea
how Schmidt is gonna react.

196
00:07:26,326 --> 00:07:27,720
If Schmidt finds out Keaton isn't real,

197
00:07:27,744 --> 00:07:30,122
it'll destroy the entire life
he has built around him.

198
00:07:30,205 --> 00:07:32,541
We are talking
about a Truman Show situation.

199
00:07:32,624 --> 00:07:33,744
Oh, yeah, I love that movie.

200
00:07:33,792 --> 00:07:35,252
What part are you talking about?

201
00:07:35,335 --> 00:07:37,379
Well, I'm talking
about the part in the movie

202
00:07:37,462 --> 00:07:40,173
when Truman realizes
that his whole life is a lie,

203
00:07:40,257 --> 00:07:41,717
and then he goes crazy.

204
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,678
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right there
in the middle of the movie.

205
00:07:44,761 --> 00:07:46,179
No, it's the whole movie.

206
00:07:46,263 --> 00:07:47,907
Oh, yeah, I know, I was just…
'Cause there's the one…

207
00:07:47,931 --> 00:07:49,242
- There's like a scene.
- You haven't seen it.

208
00:07:49,266 --> 00:07:51,268
He didn't see the movie. Okay, guys,

209
00:07:51,351 --> 00:07:52,978
he almost found out once.

210
00:07:53,061 --> 00:07:54,855
Now, luckily, I handled it.

211
00:07:54,938 --> 00:07:56,648
I don't understand.

212
00:07:56,732 --> 00:07:58,066
In 1995, he told me specifically

213
00:07:58,150 --> 00:08:00,861
that he had never been to Nicaragua.

214
00:08:00,944 --> 00:08:03,280
- It doesn't make any sense.
- Ahhh!

215
00:08:03,363 --> 00:08:04,948
You have no idea what you've done.

216
00:08:05,032 --> 00:08:06,325
Hey, uh,

217
00:08:06,408 --> 00:08:07,760
you guys, do you think that it's too early

218
00:08:07,784 --> 00:08:08,952
to e-mail Michael back?

219
00:08:09,036 --> 00:08:10,537
Should I send him an e-card?

220
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:12,724
Does that change anything,
or does that change everything?

221
00:08:12,748 --> 00:08:14,350
- I think you're overthinking it.
- You know what?

222
00:08:14,374 --> 00:08:15,810
- You're right. You're right.
- Be cool.

223
00:08:15,834 --> 00:08:18,003
- I think I'm way to up here, all upstairs.
- Yeah.

224
00:08:18,086 --> 00:08:19,755
Got to bring it down. Here to here.

225
00:08:19,838 --> 00:08:22,090
Not any lower, though. It's not like that.

226
00:08:22,174 --> 00:08:24,551
- I know it's not.
- Bro, it's not like that.

227
00:08:24,635 --> 00:08:26,178
- No one thinks it is, bro.
- Cool.

228
00:08:26,261 --> 00:08:28,013
All right.

229
00:08:28,096 --> 00:08:29,723
He's already getting weird.

230
00:08:29,806 --> 00:08:30,807
- Here.
- No, Je…

231
00:08:31,808 --> 00:08:34,311
You… Come to the master.

232
00:08:34,394 --> 00:08:36,313
What are you writing?

233
00:08:38,398 --> 00:08:40,233
I fixed it again.

234
00:08:40,317 --> 00:08:41,318
You're welcome again.

235
00:08:41,401 --> 00:08:43,236
So you just wrote from Keaton,

236
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,197
"I'm going on vacation"?

237
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,616
He would never write that, Jess.

238
00:08:47,699 --> 00:08:49,451
- Why not?
- Vacation?

239
00:08:49,534 --> 00:08:52,412
Oh, Michael, you… Stop going away.

240
00:08:53,205 --> 00:08:54,873
I knew this would happen.

241
00:08:56,792 --> 00:08:57,959
Hey, Schmidt.

242
00:08:58,043 --> 00:08:59,127
Schmidty.

243
00:08:59,211 --> 00:09:01,046
He left me again.

244
00:09:01,129 --> 00:09:03,256
It makes sense.

245
00:09:03,340 --> 00:09:04,758
Why would a guy like Michael Keaton

246
00:09:04,841 --> 00:09:06,385
be friends with me anyway?

247
00:09:06,468 --> 00:09:08,762
I'm sure he likes you a lot, Schmidt.

248
00:09:08,845 --> 00:09:09,888
Why would he?

249
00:09:10,263 --> 00:09:11,598
I guess I'll just always be

250
00:09:11,682 --> 00:09:14,893
the fat boy
who eats fat-boy cheese.

251
00:09:23,902 --> 00:09:25,821
I didn't want to have to do this.

252
00:09:27,739 --> 00:09:29,992
Oh, is that really necessary, Nick?

253
00:09:30,075 --> 00:09:31,827
- Shh.
- What?

254
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:33,036
Let him work.

255
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,287
I'm kind of like his Robin.

256
00:09:34,371 --> 00:09:35,372
You're not like my Robin.

257
00:09:35,455 --> 00:09:36,581
You want to be Robin?

258
00:09:36,665 --> 00:09:37,892
He doesn't have
all the responsibilities

259
00:09:37,916 --> 00:09:39,560
of Batman, but he can take
some of the glory.

260
00:09:39,584 --> 00:09:41,044
- Robin's a joke.
- Robin's the joke.

261
00:09:41,128 --> 00:09:42,671
I think we can all agree.

262
00:09:42,754 --> 00:09:44,524
The kids look up to him,
you know, in the community.

263
00:09:44,548 --> 00:09:46,675
I haven't been inside
Keaton's mind in a long time,

264
00:09:46,758 --> 00:09:49,177
and I need my proper inspiration.

265
00:09:49,261 --> 00:09:50,512
Thank you.

266
00:09:51,221 --> 00:09:52,681
Why do you have a picture of a bear?

267
00:09:52,764 --> 00:09:56,268
The great Michael Keaton
attacks each new role

268
00:09:56,351 --> 00:09:59,021
with the ferocity of a hungry brown bear.

269
00:09:59,104 --> 00:10:01,940
It is his entire acting philosophy,

270
00:10:02,024 --> 00:10:04,026
which I totally made up.

271
00:10:04,109 --> 00:10:05,277
I sleep with this person.

272
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,154
Speak to me, Keaton.

273
00:10:08,822 --> 00:10:10,324
Mmm.

274
00:10:10,407 --> 00:10:11,742
Here we go.

275
00:10:16,413 --> 00:10:18,165
Oh, hey, Nick, that's incredible.

276
00:10:18,248 --> 00:10:22,336
"Courage is not the absence of
fear but the triumph over it"?

277
00:10:22,419 --> 00:10:24,504
Yes, I stole that from Nelson Mandela.

278
00:10:24,588 --> 00:10:27,341
I added the part about
the Penguin and the Riddler.

279
00:10:30,552 --> 00:10:31,803
Oh. All right.

280
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:35,182
Is that him? Did it work?

281
00:10:36,058 --> 00:10:38,143
He wrote back smiley face.

282
00:10:38,226 --> 00:10:41,438
- He wrote back smiley face.
- He wrote back smiley face.

283
00:10:45,484 --> 00:10:47,486
Trick or treat!

284
00:10:47,569 --> 00:10:48,820
Oh, how adorable.

285
00:10:48,904 --> 00:10:50,264
You know, I just got a treat, too.

286
00:10:50,322 --> 00:10:51,823
It's not candy. I'm not a…

287
00:10:51,907 --> 00:10:53,950
Not a dumb little baby like all of you.

288
00:10:54,034 --> 00:10:56,745
"Happy Hallow's Eve."

289
00:10:56,828 --> 00:10:58,830
And send.

290
00:11:00,248 --> 00:11:01,750
Just give us our candy.

291
00:11:01,833 --> 00:11:04,252
Hush, little boy.

292
00:11:10,050 --> 00:11:11,718
He wrote back.

293
00:11:12,469 --> 00:11:14,262
- "Hi."
- Okay, I got this.

294
00:11:14,346 --> 00:11:16,390
"Speak to me, old chum.

295
00:11:16,473 --> 00:11:19,267
"I canceled my trip
to provide earthquake relief. Oh.

296
00:11:19,351 --> 00:11:20,871
- "This seemed more important."
- Boom.

297
00:11:20,936 --> 00:11:22,580
- That's so good.
- Yeah, it's pretty good.

298
00:11:22,604 --> 00:11:24,189
You really have
the Keaton voice down.

299
00:11:24,272 --> 00:11:26,274
"You're a friend for life."

300
00:11:26,358 --> 00:11:28,235
- That's good.
- "M.K."

301
00:11:28,318 --> 00:11:29,545
- I think that's good.
- I think that's

302
00:11:29,569 --> 00:11:31,279
- really good, actually.
- Yeah.

303
00:11:34,074 --> 00:11:36,159
Hi. Welcome. Happy Halloween.

304
00:11:36,243 --> 00:11:37,744
Drinks are over there.

305
00:11:37,828 --> 00:11:40,455
- Hey.
- Hi.

306
00:11:41,164 --> 00:11:42,332
What are you supposed to be?

307
00:11:42,416 --> 00:11:44,292
I'm Joey Ramona Quimby.

308
00:11:44,376 --> 00:11:45,585
I don't get it.

309
00:11:45,669 --> 00:11:50,132
Joey Ramone-a Quimby.

310
00:11:52,175 --> 00:11:53,510
What are you? You look like

311
00:11:53,593 --> 00:11:55,304
you're just wearing trash from your car.

312
00:11:55,387 --> 00:11:56,555
No, I'm not.

313
00:11:56,638 --> 00:11:58,932
I'm the Paper Mountain Trash King…

314
00:11:59,016 --> 00:12:00,684
I just got trash from my car.

315
00:12:00,767 --> 00:12:03,312
And now the man who once played
center for the New York Knicks

316
00:12:03,395 --> 00:12:06,565
in the nude, David Letterman!

317
00:12:06,648 --> 00:12:08,001
- That is a terrible Letterman.
- Really?

318
00:12:08,025 --> 00:12:10,944
People at work tell me
I look just like Dave.

319
00:12:11,028 --> 00:12:12,738
You look just like Letterman.

320
00:12:12,821 --> 00:12:15,532
You know, I have always thought that.

321
00:12:15,615 --> 00:12:17,909
What, uh, what… Uh, Nick, Nick Miller.

322
00:12:17,993 --> 00:12:19,077
So you a, uh…

323
00:12:19,745 --> 00:12:20,746
You're a…

324
00:12:22,873 --> 00:12:24,600
- What is that?
- That's… That's his laugh.

325
00:12:24,624 --> 00:12:26,304
- He's never done that.
- That's his laugh.

326
00:12:26,877 --> 00:12:29,129
Do you like my costume?

327
00:12:30,672 --> 00:12:33,133
I'm a public serpent.

328
00:12:33,216 --> 00:12:34,926
Um, I thought you weren't coming.

329
00:12:35,010 --> 00:12:36,261
Oh, I changed my mind.

330
00:12:36,345 --> 00:12:39,348
You know, I reread a few
of Keaton's e-mails.

331
00:12:39,431 --> 00:12:40,682
He can be quite cryptic.

332
00:12:40,766 --> 00:12:42,559
I think what he meant
when he said that life

333
00:12:42,643 --> 00:12:46,229
was meaningful was really,
"Go to the party."

334
00:12:46,313 --> 00:12:47,753
I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that.

335
00:12:47,814 --> 00:12:49,983
I know Keaton best. Hey, Winston,

336
00:12:50,067 --> 00:12:52,361
by the way, great costume.

337
00:12:52,444 --> 00:12:53,612
Maya Angelou.

338
00:12:54,905 --> 00:12:56,073
Crap. What am I gonna do?

339
00:12:56,156 --> 00:12:57,491
Cece's on her way.

340
00:12:57,574 --> 00:12:59,826
Schmidt is rereading e-mails.

341
00:12:59,910 --> 00:13:01,346
Do you know what happens
after rereading?

342
00:13:01,370 --> 00:13:03,622
Figuring it out.
It's The Truman Show.

343
00:13:03,705 --> 00:13:05,582
Truman Show, man,
I love that movie.

344
00:13:05,666 --> 00:13:06,893
I'm not convinced
you've ever seen it.

345
00:13:06,917 --> 00:13:09,211
I have. It's about the Civil War.

346
00:13:09,294 --> 00:13:10,438
- Batcave?
- Go, go, go, go, go,

347
00:13:10,462 --> 00:13:11,672
- go, go, go.
- Go, go, go.

348
00:13:14,383 --> 00:13:15,842
Winston, go to Cece's and stall.

349
00:13:15,926 --> 00:13:17,678
Okay, fine, but I got to hit the little.

350
00:13:17,761 --> 00:13:20,013
King of the Late Night
Talk Show's room first.

351
00:13:20,097 --> 00:13:22,599
Maybe slow down on that.
You're not great with booze.

352
00:13:22,683 --> 00:13:24,243
- Hey, I got it, I got it.
- You got it? Good.

353
00:13:24,267 --> 00:13:25,602
Um, "You're in grave danger."

354
00:13:25,686 --> 00:13:26,746
"Leave where you are immediately."

355
00:13:26,770 --> 00:13:28,063
- Send.
- Okay. Don't!

356
00:13:28,146 --> 00:13:29,690
- You just sent that?
- Yeah.

357
00:13:29,773 --> 00:13:31,668
A team has to talk about a
decision before you hit send.

358
00:13:31,692 --> 00:13:33,610
Sorry. I thought it was
a really good move.

359
00:13:33,694 --> 00:13:35,737
- Trick or treat.
- Shh.

360
00:13:35,821 --> 00:13:37,698
All right, you got to fix this.

361
00:13:37,781 --> 00:13:40,450
I'll meet you at your building
in 30 minutes.

362
00:13:40,534 --> 00:13:41,827
- Terrible!
- Send.

363
00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:43,495
- No!
- What?

364
00:13:43,578 --> 00:13:44,830
Now what are we gonna do?

365
00:13:44,913 --> 00:13:46,015
You told him Keaton was coming here?

366
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:47,749
- No, Nick.
- Are you out of your mind?

367
00:13:47,833 --> 00:13:49,167
It's a stall! It's a stall

368
00:13:49,251 --> 00:13:51,837
until we can come up with a better plan.

369
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,047
- Well, who the hell is that?
- I don't know.

370
00:13:54,131 --> 00:13:56,341
Trick or treat!

371
00:13:57,634 --> 00:13:59,094
You.

372
00:14:00,929 --> 00:14:02,848
I don't get what you're doing!

373
00:14:02,931 --> 00:14:04,766
Are you drunk?

374
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,144
A little.

375
00:14:07,227 --> 00:14:08,478
What's your endgame here?

376
00:14:08,562 --> 00:14:09,688
It's Halloween night.

377
00:14:09,771 --> 00:14:11,440
This is the night when anyone

378
00:14:11,523 --> 00:14:12,816
can dress up in a costume

379
00:14:12,899 --> 00:14:14,776
and be anybody that they want.

380
00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:18,447
Would you listen to your
woman voice for one second?

381
00:14:18,530 --> 00:14:19,924
Oh, you think I'm gonna talk to him

382
00:14:19,948 --> 00:14:21,342
in a woman voice when I'm talking to him?

383
00:14:21,366 --> 00:14:22,743
No, I have a character.

384
00:14:22,826 --> 00:14:25,245
You're doing a character?
Well, I'd love to hear it.

385
00:14:26,621 --> 00:14:27,831
I'm the Batman.

386
00:14:27,914 --> 00:14:30,042
- Oh.
- Right?

387
00:14:30,125 --> 00:14:31,126
So good.

388
00:14:31,209 --> 00:14:33,253
What, am I in the movie theater,
eating popcorn?

389
00:14:34,755 --> 00:14:36,757
Jess, you're also 5'4".

390
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,760
Keep going further away.
The further you're away,

391
00:14:38,842 --> 00:14:40,886
the bigger you look.
I would say run a little bit.

392
00:14:40,969 --> 00:14:43,347
- Nick!
- Jess, go! Go…

393
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:45,265
- Hey. Uh, Nick.
- Hey.

394
00:14:45,349 --> 00:14:48,143
By chance, have you seen
anyone famous in the vicinity?

395
00:14:48,226 --> 00:14:51,480
This vicinity? Famous? Like, um…

396
00:14:51,563 --> 00:14:54,232
- Look that way.
- What?

397
00:14:57,861 --> 00:15:00,572
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, it's unbelievable.

398
00:15:03,033 --> 00:15:04,701
- Well, it's my hero.
- Yeah.

399
00:15:04,785 --> 00:15:06,328
That is Michael Keaton.

400
00:15:06,411 --> 00:15:07,954
Right there.

401
00:15:08,038 --> 00:15:09,831
Why is he wearing

402
00:15:09,915 --> 00:15:11,958
his costume from the movie
he did 24 years ago?

403
00:15:12,042 --> 00:15:14,294
If he wore the outfit
from Clean and Sober,

404
00:15:14,378 --> 00:15:15,458
you wouldn't recognize him.

405
00:15:15,504 --> 00:15:16,713
I'm the Batman.

406
00:15:16,797 --> 00:15:18,215
It's Halloween. Don't overthink it.

407
00:15:18,298 --> 00:15:20,026
Well, you saw him. There he is.
Let's get out of here.

408
00:15:20,050 --> 00:15:21,319
I have to meet him, Nick. I have to.

409
00:15:21,343 --> 00:15:22,946
No, you don't have to
meet him. No, no, no…

410
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:24,948
You're a great kid, Sch…
You're a great kid, Schmidt.

411
00:15:24,972 --> 00:15:27,140
Let me take you out to eat.
I want to buy you something

412
00:15:27,224 --> 00:15:29,243
- 'cause you met your hero.
- Go to an all-night diner.

413
00:15:29,267 --> 00:15:31,645
- No, I have to meet… Got to meet him.
- He's got to…

414
00:15:31,728 --> 00:15:33,289
- It's Michael Keaton!
- Go get a blintz or two!

415
00:15:33,313 --> 00:15:34,606
Argh!

416
00:15:34,690 --> 00:15:35,941
Michael! It's me, Schmidt.

417
00:15:36,024 --> 00:15:37,943
See you later, Michael! Take off!

418
00:15:38,026 --> 00:15:39,403
We have so much to talk about.

419
00:15:39,486 --> 00:15:41,172
Our heroes are never
who we want them to be!

420
00:15:41,196 --> 00:15:42,614
Oh.

421
00:15:43,740 --> 00:15:46,201
Oh. You met him.

422
00:15:46,284 --> 00:15:47,661
It's Keaton.

423
00:15:47,744 --> 00:15:49,246
Come on, you guys. I know.

424
00:15:50,622 --> 00:15:52,958
I've known the whole time.
What, do you think I'm stupid?

425
00:15:53,041 --> 00:15:54,334
No. It just… I…

426
00:15:54,418 --> 00:15:56,396
Just don't really know
what to say in this situation.

427
00:15:56,420 --> 00:15:58,672
Look, please don't blame Nick.
It's not his fault.

428
00:15:58,755 --> 00:16:01,049
You should be ashamed of yourselves.

429
00:16:01,133 --> 00:16:03,760
How dare you hack into
the private e-mail account

430
00:16:03,844 --> 00:16:06,888
of one of our nation's finest actors!

431
00:16:08,015 --> 00:16:10,475
I'm gonna have to tell
Michael about this.

432
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:12,519
No! No!

433
00:16:12,602 --> 00:16:14,604
No, don't tell Michael!

434
00:16:14,688 --> 00:16:16,231
Jess, please stop.

435
00:16:16,690 --> 00:16:19,443
Thank you for what you're trying
to do, but it's over.

436
00:16:19,526 --> 00:16:21,236
It has to be over.

437
00:16:22,654 --> 00:16:26,491
- Schmidt, I'm Michael Keaton.
- Huh?

438
00:16:27,868 --> 00:16:29,661
I'm the owner of the e-mail address.

439
00:16:29,745 --> 00:16:32,164
KeatonPotatoes@aol.com.

440
00:16:32,748 --> 00:16:34,041
What?

441
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,421
- It was me the whole time.
- No.

442
00:16:39,755 --> 00:16:41,673
- No, you can't…
- How do you think

443
00:16:41,757 --> 00:16:44,051
I know that you kissed
the bus driver at spring break?

444
00:16:44,134 --> 00:16:47,012
Or that you want to open up

445
00:16:47,095 --> 00:16:48,639
a glassware boutique in Connecticut?

446
00:16:48,722 --> 00:16:51,808
- Or about the wall hole?
- This is impossible! I've been…

447
00:16:51,892 --> 00:16:54,078
I've been writing with Michael
Keaton since I was a kid!

448
00:16:54,102 --> 00:16:56,271
Your mother came up
with the idea, Schmidt.

449
00:16:56,355 --> 00:16:59,274
But since college, it's been me.

450
00:16:59,358 --> 00:17:01,401
My mom? You're gonna tell me

451
00:17:01,485 --> 00:17:03,820
that my mom helped me
with my public erections?

452
00:17:03,904 --> 00:17:05,072
I drew pictures!

453
00:17:05,155 --> 00:17:07,991
He didn't want you to find out this way.

454
00:17:11,036 --> 00:17:13,288
Hey.

455
00:17:15,666 --> 00:17:17,751
- I got to go.
- Wait. Schmidt!

456
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,420
Oh, I'm so, so sorry. Uh…

457
00:17:20,504 --> 00:17:21,505
A bully! Get him!

458
00:17:21,588 --> 00:17:23,006
Oh! Oh!

459
00:17:23,090 --> 00:17:24,484
Come on. Hey, kids, get out of here!

460
00:17:24,508 --> 00:17:27,719
- Scat! Scat!
- Back off!

461
00:17:31,181 --> 00:17:33,308
Cece, wait. I swear, I did not know

462
00:17:33,392 --> 00:17:35,936
he was gonna be here. I'm so sorry.

463
00:17:36,019 --> 00:17:37,938
No, Jess. It's… It's fine.
Okay, it's fine.

464
00:17:38,021 --> 00:17:41,900
In fact. It's actually kind of perfect.

465
00:17:41,984 --> 00:17:44,569
I think, since this whole thing went down,

466
00:17:44,653 --> 00:17:46,446
I've just been running away.

467
00:17:46,530 --> 00:17:50,867
You know, I mean,
actually seeing Schmidt, I…

468
00:17:50,951 --> 00:17:54,162
I finally feel like I have some closure.

469
00:17:54,246 --> 00:17:56,081
Well, good. I'm glad.

470
00:17:56,164 --> 00:17:58,250
You deserve some.

471
00:18:00,335 --> 00:18:03,255
So let's fire up the Batman
Mobile, go to a taco stand…

472
00:18:03,338 --> 00:18:05,924
- Mmm.
- And eat some feelings, okay?

473
00:18:06,008 --> 00:18:08,385
Okay, I just… I think it's Batmobile.

474
00:18:08,468 --> 00:18:09,678
Batman Mobile.

475
00:18:09,761 --> 00:18:11,471
No. Batmobile.

476
00:18:11,555 --> 00:18:13,932
That's what I said… Batman Mobile.

477
00:18:14,016 --> 00:18:16,035
You're putting the man…
There's no man. It's just Bat…

478
00:18:16,059 --> 00:18:17,936
- Batman Mobile. Batman Mobile.
- Mobile.

479
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:20,105
- Batmobile. Drop the man.
- Bat… Yeah.

480
00:18:20,188 --> 00:18:21,690
Batman Mobile.

481
00:18:21,773 --> 00:18:23,942
Batmobile.

482
00:18:24,026 --> 00:18:25,444
Batmo-mobile.

483
00:18:26,194 --> 00:18:28,488
So it was you who helped me

484
00:18:28,572 --> 00:18:30,741
through my first breakup with Elizabeth?

485
00:18:30,824 --> 00:18:32,784
Yeah, Schmidt.

486
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,913
And it was you, not Keaton, who told me

487
00:18:36,997 --> 00:18:39,583
that women aren't attracted
to men who wear maternity pants?

488
00:18:39,666 --> 00:18:42,753
Yes, but that one I feel
like I shouldn't have had to.

489
00:18:42,836 --> 00:18:45,297
They're unbelievably comfortable.

490
00:18:45,464 --> 00:18:47,674
What about that time
that we saw Michael Keaton

491
00:18:47,841 --> 00:18:51,678
at that deli,
and he stopped, and he winked?

492
00:18:52,095 --> 00:18:54,097
Honestly, I can't explain that one.

493
00:18:54,181 --> 00:18:56,391
It was just the weirdest
day of my whole life.

494
00:18:57,267 --> 00:18:59,186
My friend Michael.

495
00:19:00,062 --> 00:19:05,317
Oh, Schmidt, look, I
know this is hard, okay?

496
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,236
But honestly, I was just trying to help.

497
00:19:09,196 --> 00:19:12,115
You don't need Keaton. You got me.

498
00:19:15,118 --> 00:19:17,120
- What was that?
- I'm so sorry.

499
00:19:17,204 --> 00:19:19,790
- Why would you say something like that?
- Because I hurt you,

500
00:19:19,873 --> 00:19:22,417
and I've been wanting
to fix this for years.

501
00:19:22,501 --> 00:19:25,295
The end of a high school football movie?

502
00:19:25,420 --> 00:19:28,674
I'm really sorry I pretended to
be Keaton for the last 12 years.

503
00:19:28,757 --> 00:19:30,550
It's super weird.

504
00:19:31,426 --> 00:19:33,553
Are we good?

505
00:19:35,013 --> 00:19:38,058
Yeah. We're good.

506
00:19:46,692 --> 00:19:49,444
Well, Nicholas, I came
to a decision last night.

507
00:19:49,528 --> 00:19:50,964
I'm entering a new chapter in my life,

508
00:19:50,988 --> 00:19:52,864
and I think it best that I do it alone.

509
00:19:52,948 --> 00:19:54,592
You're going to one of those
weekend spas again, buddy?

510
00:19:54,616 --> 00:19:55,617
No.

511
00:19:55,701 --> 00:19:57,804
In the famous words of
singer-songwriter Billy Joel…

512
00:19:57,828 --> 00:19:58,930
- Don't do this.
- I'm moving out.

513
00:19:58,954 --> 00:19:59,955
You're the worst.

514
00:20:00,414 --> 00:20:01,975
Schmidt, I thought you said we were good.

515
00:20:01,999 --> 00:20:03,458
No, we're great, but I'm going.

516
00:20:03,542 --> 00:20:04,543
Two separate things.

517
00:20:04,626 --> 00:20:07,295
I made the call this morning.
I got a new place. I'm out.

518
00:20:07,379 --> 00:20:09,715
- You're not going anywhere.
- I'm going.

519
00:20:09,798 --> 00:20:12,592
Goodness, uh, I think
somebody had sex in my bedroom last night.

520
00:20:12,843 --> 00:20:14,523
I think that because
they're still in there

521
00:20:14,553 --> 00:20:16,221
- having sex, I think.
- Ugh!

522
00:20:17,347 --> 00:20:19,266
Hey, Schmidt. You going
to a weekend spa again?

523
00:20:19,349 --> 00:20:22,019
- No. Striking out on my own.
- Wait. What?

524
00:20:22,102 --> 00:20:23,937
You're moving out?
He's not moving out, is he?

525
00:20:24,021 --> 00:20:25,498
Schmidt, you can't move out.
Who's gonna do my fades?

526
00:20:25,522 --> 00:20:26,762
Yeah, who's gonna do his fades?

527
00:20:29,443 --> 00:20:30,777
Believe this is mine.

528
00:20:32,654 --> 00:20:34,990
Well, I bid you all adieu.

529
00:20:35,073 --> 00:20:36,700
- Stop it, Schmidt.
- Are you serious?

530
00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:38,285
- Schmidt, come on.
- Come on.

531
00:20:38,452 --> 00:20:40,132
- Seriously?
- Come on! Stop with the show!

532
00:20:40,162 --> 00:20:42,456
You can't even fit all
your socks in that suitcase.

533
00:20:42,748 --> 00:20:44,541
Get your last looks,
'cause who knows when

534
00:20:44,624 --> 00:20:46,001
we'll see each other again?

535
00:20:47,044 --> 00:20:48,587
Or where.

536
00:20:55,218 --> 00:20:56,345
Wait.

537
00:20:56,428 --> 00:20:58,764
You're just moving in across the hall?

538
00:20:58,847 --> 00:21:00,807
I can't hear you 'cause I'm gone.

539
00:21:00,891 --> 00:21:02,869
Schmidt, it would take me longer
to walk from the kitchen

540
00:21:02,893 --> 00:21:06,063
to the bathroom
than it would from here to where you are.

541
00:21:06,146 --> 00:21:08,273
Oh, you are kidding me.

542
00:21:08,732 --> 00:21:11,109
- I can see your feet!
- Me, too.

543
00:21:11,193 --> 00:21:12,194
Shut up.

544
00:21:12,277 --> 00:21:13,945
The guy's an idiot.

545
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:17,074
See you tomorrow, Schmidt.

546
00:21:17,157 --> 00:21:21,453
I'm alone. I'm alone!

547
00:21:21,536 --> 00:21:23,038
I'm alone.

548
00:21:23,121 --> 00:21:24,414
I'm alone.

549
00:21:29,586 --> 00:21:32,673
Score. Touch… Score.

550
00:21:32,756 --> 00:21:36,176
Yeah. Shut up, Winston.

551
00:21:36,301 --> 00:21:38,011
Stupid jerk!
