Thanks Katie for the 'new' ones. : )

"The good news and bad news about chemistry is that we'll never fully understand how it works. Every relationship is an experiment. You never know exactly what you'll get. Some people bring out a side of you that you didn't know you had. Some people remind you that your story isn't over. Some people surprise you, and once in a while, you surprise yourself. And although all relationships require compromise... Sometimes you get more, not less. And sometimes you can't get more. Sometimes what you had is gone forever. And although it's painful, you have to find the strength to go on, to keep searching for the love, for that one perfect ingredient. No matter how far or how deep you have to go to find it."

You're talking about the show ending epigraph, right? Did you look here in posts about the episode?

I'm looking... I'm looking everywhere... The google helps a lot.

"So...hey... Patrick and I were just discussing the term "carpe diem," or "seize the day"... an idea so old it comes to us in latin. Live for today... don't let opportunity pass you by...just do it... which is all well and good. But what happens the day after you seize the day when you wake up and face the consequences? What do you think, my fellow elmoians? Given the choice,would you rather look or leap?"

Marin - Okay,I have an idea.
Jack - You want me to move into the shed?

(...)

Jack - I'm captain of the living room.
Marin - Yeah,worst idea I ever had.

"Moving to Elmo was one of those "seize the day" moments for me. The thing is, while alaska is beautiful to look at,I don't spend my days looking. I spend my days living. Like life anywhere,in Elmo,there is fighting. And there is making up. There is joy. And there is devastation. And once in a while, amidst all that, there will be brief flashes where everything just feels right - serenity. Kind of like a vacation. And while it's nice to go away, away wouldn't be nearly nice if you couldn't come home. "

MARIN (V.O.) You can’t always get the one you want.

Theresa looks up, and then quickly looks away.

INT. LIZA’S BEDROOM - MORNING
The WAITER pulls his pants on as Liza lies in bed, watching.

MARIN (V.O.) And sometimes the one you get isn’t the right one at all. He walks out, leaving Liza alone and empty.

INT. ELMO INN - CONTINUOUS Patrick and Annie continue to alternately chew gum and kiss.

MARIN (V.O.) But if you have hope, the universe has a funny way of showing you exactly what you need.

INT. ELMO BOOKSTORE - DAY
Len and Sara talk animatedly over coffee.

EXT. ELMO STREET - CONTINUOUS
Marin bikes, still holding the dress.

MARIN (V.O.) The challenge is to let yourself be alone until the right one shows up.

INT. JACK’S HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Jack pulls off his wet shirt and puts it in the hamper.
Inside he sees something and pulls it out--

MARIN (V.O.) But you can’t hide either.

It’s a WOMAN’S SKIRT. He quickly stuffs it into the trash.

INT. ELMO AIRPORT - CONTINUOUS
Jane gets ready to board her plane back to New York.

MARIN (V.O.) Heart break sucks. But not having heart break sucks more. She pauses, then takes her blue tooth out of her ear and puts it in her pocket. She walks onto the jetway and is gone.

INT. MARIN’S NEW YORK LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Graham still listens to the book. Behind him, Kiki has
entered. She watches Graham, concerned.

MARIN (V.O.) Trust the process. If you get yourself happy, you’ll find the right one.

Kiki walks out, never seen.

EXT. ELMO MOUNTAIN - CONTINUOUS
Marin has reached the scenic overlook we saw earlier.

MARIN (V.O.) I believe this because against all odds, I am an optimist. She climbs off the bike and walks to the edge of the cliff.

MARIN (V.O.) And until every one of you finds the person you really want, I will be that optimist for you. I know it’s hard.
She peers over the edge.

MARIN (V.O.) Some days you’ll want to kill yourself.

She takes a step back and then in one strong motion, she
HEAVES the dress over the cliff. We watch it go, twisting and
turning in its descent. She turns back to her bike and looks
to the sky...

EXT. ELMO USED CAR LOT - DAY
Marin pays a DEALER cash for an old pick up truck and climbs
inside.

MARIN (V.O.) But that’s the thing about love...

Marin puts the car into gear and swerves out of the lot.

MARIN (V.O.) ...if it were that easy, everyone would have it.

We watch her tail lights become small as she lurches her way
into her future, alone, in fits and starts.
Across the screen, the wigeon flits behind...

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS STEADY GROUND. THAT'S WHY THE BUDDY SYSTEM EXISTS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO FIND PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST, SOMEONE YOU KNOW WILL PULL YOU OUT OF WHATEVER HOLE YOU FALL INTO.
YOU CAN THROW A LINE OUT TO ANYONE, BUT IT'S UP TO THEM TO CATCH IT AND HOLD ON.
IN THE END, YOU HAVE TO LET YOURSELF BE TIED TO SOMEONE ELSE. IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'LL MAKE IT.

MIT S2E12

My friend Annie and I were just talking, as women do, and we got to wondering how can you really ever know where someone is coming from? People say it's important to listen, but how can you listen if nothing is being said? Tell me, Elmo in a relationship, do you have the right to remain silent?

I finally found it! :-)

MIT S01E07 

Sometimes it's easier to take care of strangers than the people you love. And then again, sometimes the people you love are strangers. And although it's tough at times you have to try to be honest. You have to try to be there for each other and you have to believe not just in love but in the people you love. And you have to say the things you want to say before the chance disappears forever.

MIT S02E14

"Hey, Elmo. Patrick and I were just discussing movie magic there's something about sitting down in a dark theater that lets you escape the reality of your own lives and live in the fantasy of someone else's story. But what if the cameras were turned on you? In the movie of your life, do you like what you see?"

"We all love to lose ourselves in a good movie. When I was a girl, I loved "the wizard of oz"... Especially the moment when Dorothy opens the door into that fantastic world. But once Dorothy appreciated how bright and beautiful everything was, she realized she had a bit of a mess on her hands. One of the classic examples of "be careful what you wish for." Spend five minutes in a fantasy and you just might find yourself wishing for your old life back. We miss what's right in front of us when we're busy looking over the rainbow. But sometimes it takes stepping into someone else's world to realize how much you love the life you have. Because no matter how magical the movies are, at the end of the day, there's no place like home."

"Opening your door to someone is, in many ways, a lot like opening your heart.  It's not always easy. Some of us aren't used to opening up. It can hurt. But we do what we can for our guests. We try to be hospitable, giving them whatever they desire. Sometimes all you can do is help them feel better while they wait to return home. And soon enough, the guest is gone, leaving us to move the couch, do the laundry, go back to our lives as usual. If that's possible."

I have work to do too

I have several story lines w/photos of the MEN IN TREES episodes....

Sally wants to  put them on the internet

What mine are missing is the end quote.

there is a MEN IN TREES fan site with all of them and I don't have the web address...  I am disappointed w/me about that too.....

Skyview on Skydrive is where I will compile them...  but only I can add to the site... 

Certainly Daniels' site:  anneheche.com.fr in France is awsome and the photos won't be lost... 

the ABC MEN IN TREES site photos will be diappearin w/the show...  do shows in reruns have a homepage at ABC?

that will be the question.

With Skyview on Skydrive I can save the photos to my computer and store them on Skyview on Skydrive...  5 GB for MEN IN TREES 

I have been using the site to show the weather in Elmo.  Sunshone May 25 2008!

Finale: June 11, 08 

Marins' last voiceover DIFFERS!!!  IN THE SEEN AND SEEN ONLINE!!!

Thanks to:   SusanLovesMIT  on ABC MEN IN TREES MESSAGE BOARD, LINK:http://abc.go.com/primetime/menintrees/index?pn=mb&cat=30893&tid=377863

I have watched both the televised version and the online version of "Taking The Lead". The alternate ending shown online not only has a different scene at the end, it has a slightly different voiceover too. Two thirds of the voiceover was the same but the final third differed. I have put both below in their entirety and italicized the portions that differ.

Televised Version:

We are the daughters of the Feminist Movement, taught from an early age that nothing can stop us, that we can rise as high and achieve as much as any man and in some ways that's true. We  have taken great strides, stepping over traditional gender roles and going after and getting exactly what we want. But part of being powerful is knowing when to take the backseat and look at life from another perspective. Because the thing is, in a relationship, there is no CEO. It's a delicate dance, a push and pull, a back and forth, an up and down. But we endure because at the end of the day we don't want to go it alone. And when we find someone, a partner, we compromise, loving everything we can and putting blinders onto everything else. Because love isn't perfect, but it is the really great imperfect love that keeps us evolving, happy.  And in the end, isn't that what life's all about?

Online Version:

And when we find someone, a partner, we compromise, and adjust and try to strike some kind of balance. And again the thing about balance, it's by nature a very precarious thing, which means that at any time, at any moment, something small can enter the picture and upset it forever.
