"This trick,
if you can call it a trick,
is incredibly difficult
to pull off.
It all depends on one thing"‐‐
[Will] I'm sorry.
‐ [Jill] For what?
‐ Dad's right.
It's important to be honest.
[inhales, exhales]
Who are these wonderful people?
I made this decision without
you for a number of reasons.
Kidneys.
Heart.
Lungs.
Liver.
[breath heaves]
So much of him is still here.
I'm sorry.
These are the friends
you don't get to have.
He's breathing our air.
His eyes read.
A 15‐minute ride away,
his heart beats
in a woman's chest.
He saved seven lives.
But I'd trade 'em all
for one more hour with him.
Did you read them?
They're not mine to read.
They're Phil's.
They're Phil's gifts.
Not yours.
I wanted him to have this
for himself.
If you knew,
you would've reached out.
You would've answered
all of these letters.
You would've invited them
all to Thanksgiving.
I'd be passing
the sweet potatoes
to his fucking pancreas.
The headlines would read,
"Jeff Pickles saves
seven lives,"
but Jeff Pickles
did not save seven lives.
Phil did.
That was his gift to them,
and not telling you
was my gift to him.
The headlines
would not have read,
"Jeff Pickles saves lives."
They did when you hit
my boyfriend with your car.
Are you gonna bring that up
every time we have a fight?
[sighs]
I was so angry
when that man threw
that flaming pickle jar
at the wrong house.
How could you say that?
I could have begun again...
could move.
Moving isn't moving on.
Do you want me to move on?
[softly] Yeah.
Then blame me.
For what?
I drove the car.
Blame me.
[no audible dialogue]
I don't understand
why you need that.
Because until someone
wearing your face said it...
‐ [Jeff sobs]
‐ I didn't realize how much
I needed to hear it from you.
This is not‐‐
this is...
[whispering]
It's not how you heal.
Do you blame me
for Phil's death?
I can't give you what you want.
Why won't anyone tell me
what I already know?
Why won't anyone
let me have that?
No one will let me have that!
But you will.
You'll say
what's in your heart.
You wanna sell the house?
Fine.
Sell the house.
‐ Blame me.
‐ Stop it.
Blame me.
Blame me. Blame me!
‐ Stop.
‐ Blame me!
‐ Don't make me do that.
‐ Do you blame me?
Please, just answer
the fucking question!
Do you blame me?

[Lisa] Why was Jeff Pickles
at jazz night?
[Jill] He wants to teach
the Dalai Lama the Charleston.
So I told him
to come to class.
[Lisa] How do you two
even know each other?
[Jill] He lives in my building.
[game playing eight‐bit
version of "You Can Feel"]
[bells dinging]
[Lisa] Did you invite him
to the bar?
Yeah.
He said he'd come,
but you never know.
Does he drink?
No, but people are always
buying him shots,
which is great,
'cause then he gives them to me
and designated‐drivers me home.
[Mr. Pickles voice]
Nice playing, friend.
Wait, are you fucking
Jeff Pickles?
Oh, my God.
So what are the rules?
Can we curse around him?
You treat him like
a normal person.
Who transitions
between the real world
and the magical realm
of puppets
via a pickle barrel
with a parachute on it.
Just don't, like, pepper him
with dumb questions, okay?
Yeah.
Obviously.
Is it true
you're completely celibate?
Only in Japan.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
Is Sy the Wide‐Eyed Fly death?
No, but a lot of people
ask me that.
Who's the most exciting
celebrity you've ever met?
Julie Andrews.
‐ [Lisa] What? No way!
‐ [Jake laughing]
‐ Oh, my God.
‐ What was she like?
A hurricane.
Mr. Pickles?
The folks over there
wanted you to know
you can drink
"anything at all" on their tab.
Ah.
‐ Thank you.
‐ [Lisa chuckles]
[whistles fanfare]
Charge!
[gulping cartoonishly]
I feel like there's
more steps tonight.
They might've put some in.
Did you know that you can
actually rent out
the New York Public Library
for a private function
for $60,000?
‐ Why do you know that?
‐ [giggles]
I think I'm gonna puke.
No, you‐‐you're not gonna puke,
'cause you're right here.
Too many people like you.
No.
No one said you had to drink
the thank‐you drinks.
[both laugh]
‐ I'm a bag of liquid.
‐ Keys?
I can open my door.
‐ I know you can.
‐ Stop...
And that's what I'm gonna
let you do right now.

Your Holiness.
A gift of thanks

Salvador Dalai Lama.
He loves to paint...

That's nice.
Thank you.

I was hoping for.
‐ I'm...distracted today.
‐ [Dalai Lama] Mm.
Ah.
What's her name?
It's not‐‐
I‐I shouldn't bother you.
I once fell madly in love
with a woman.
She had brown hair
and brown eyes.
She lived on a mountain.
I was not supposed to love her.
But I did.
And it cost me everything.
When was this?
1706.
Ah.
Do you ever regret
having a lifestyle that...
[sighs]
...prevents us from having
intimate relationships?
Jeff,
I am a monk.
You are not a monk.
You are children's puppet guy.
The problem with this woman
is about you.
Your calling is to raise
the world's children.
But perhaps what's stopping you
is that you are afraid
to have your own.
[high‐pitched voice]
Because of your mom
abandoning you.
Is that what you are afraid of?
I'm afraid I'll never be happy.
Mm.
Happiness is a thing
that happens in the now.
It is fleeting.
It exists,
and then it does not.
There is only the pleasure
before the pain,
the smile before the suffering.
We could only be truly happy
if we could freeze time
forever.
But we can't.
That is impossible.
Is it worth it?
Dying for your love?
When love has hold
of your heart,
you go.
Go like a stallion.

May I enter?
Your Holiness.
A gift of thanks
for welcoming me
on your program.
I made this creation
just for you.
Salvador Dalai Lama.
He loves to paint...
and paints to love.
That's nice.
Thank you.
This was not the reaction
I was hoping for.
‐ I'm...distracted today.
‐ [Dalai Lama] Mm.
Ah.
What's her name?
It's not‐‐
I‐I shouldn't bother you.
I once fell madly in love
with a woman.
She had brown hair
and brown eyes.
She lived on a mountain.
I was not supposed to love her.
But I did.
And it cost me everything.
When was this?
1706.
Ah.
Do you ever regret
having a lifestyle that...
[sighs]
...prevents us from having
intimate relationships?
Jeff,
I am a monk.
You are not a monk.
You are children's puppet guy.
The problem with this woman
is about you.
Your calling is to raise
the world's children.
But perhaps what's stopping you
is that you are afraid
to have your own.
[high‐pitched voice]
Because of your mom
abandoning you.
Is that what you are afraid of?
I'm afraid I'll never be happy.
Mm.
Happiness is a thing
that happens in the now.
It is fleeting.
It exists,
and then it does not.
There is only the pleasure
before the pain,
the smile before the suffering.
We could only be truly happy
if we could freeze time
forever.
But we can't.
That is impossible.
Is it worth it?
Dying for your love?
When love has hold
of your heart,
you go.
Go like a stallion.

Well, we could go somewhere

Instead of gifts,
