00:02Nate!
00:03Oh, you're back in town.
00:06Sorry I'm late.
00:07The plane from Boston was delayed as usual.
00:09You're here now, right? That's what matters.
00:11Right. Cool.
00:12So, I made some changes on the plane.
00:14Got in touch with the city for the final code inspections.
00:16There should be no further delays.
00:18Awesome. Is that the art for the lobby?
00:20For the whole wall to the entrance to the new pediatric waiting area.
00:22What do you think? I thought we were going for art
00:25that would complement the modern lines of the building.
00:28No, the board thought she captures a lot of innocence that would connect with younger patients.
00:32Besides, she has a lot of experience.
00:34It's a little juvenile, don't you think?
00:36I mean, I didn't spend all this money on industrial materials to have it covered with clouds and butterflies.
00:41Well, I like to think I've captured the essence of the community in my sketch.
00:44Either way, murals for the patients, not you.
00:49Vanessa Brent, juvenile artist.
00:56Pleased to meet you.
00:57I'm sorry if I offended you.

08:41See you tomorrow.
08:44Definitely.
08:45Good night, mate.
08:48Night.
09:25Vanessa?
09:27Vanessa?
09:29You forgot your purse.
09:34Vanessa?
09:37Vanessa?
09:38Vanessa.
09:56Hey, you.
09:58Hey, you.
10:01I went out cold, right?
10:03Yeah.
10:06I hate that on a third date.
10:12No more jokes.
10:17It's time to cut and clean then.
10:21It's time.
10:23What if I'm not ready?
10:30Then I don't know if this can grow into anything more than a friendship.
10:35Why not?
10:40Look, I've already had a woman in my life with secrets, and it wrecked me.
10:51I need answers.
10:56I'm just living life on my own terms.
10:59I'm not connecting or sharing your life.
11:02It doesn't feel like living.
11:03It feels like running away.
11:06Fair enough, but it's my life.
11:18Fair enough, but it's my life.
11:20Then I'll leave you to it.
11:35I can't believe it.
11:36I can't believe it.
11:36You've really captured the spirit of Creek Falls.
11:39It's peaceful and welcoming, and you're not even finished.
11:44Thanks, Carolyn.
11:45That means a lot to me.
11:56Hey, Carolyn.
11:57Nate.
11:58Hi, Vanessa.
12:00Hi.
12:01Can I talk to you for a minute?
12:04Sure.
12:04If you like.
12:05Nice to see you, Nate.
12:06You too.
12:12Glad to see you back at work.
12:16You really scared me.
12:19I'm sorry.
12:20I wasn't up to talking the other day.
12:24What you saw is a byproduct of the medication I have to take to make sure I can keep working
12:28on my list.
12:31So you want me to stop worrying about you?
12:34Yes.
12:36What if I want to spend more time with you?
12:38Well, we can keep having fun together and work on my list.
12:49Well, I did get a peek at that list, and there is something special I think I could help with.
12:54Why don't I pick up after lunch, and we take the afternoon off?
12:59Sounds like a plan.
13:02Bye.
13:16Right on time.
13:18Yes, being on time can be a bit of a curse, but today it's working for me.
13:23So, are you ready to go?
13:24Pretty much.
13:27So, what's the surprise?
13:29Today I am the one with the secrets.
13:32Now, are you sure you don't need a secret consultant?
13:33Because I have years of experience.
13:36Yeah, I think I've picked up a few pointers.
13:40So, I'm guessing there's a car ride in my future?
13:44That is uncanny.
13:45How did you do that?
13:46I'm psyched.
13:47Oh.
13:50Are we going hiking?
13:51Because I have sails on.
13:52Nope, not even close.
13:53Hot air ballooning?
13:54No.
13:54Paris!
13:55You're taking me to Paris?
13:58Okay, now do I get to see this surprise?
14:02Patience is a virtue.
14:03Sometimes it feels like a luxury.
14:04Hmm.
14:07Ta-da!
14:11Oh!
14:13Butterflies!
14:21Look!
14:24Oh!
14:42When I was a little girl, my grandma told me that butterflies only live for a day.
14:47You know, some butterflies actually live for weeks, even months.
14:52Really?
14:53Yes, indeed.
14:54And monarch butterflies go on these incredible journeys.
14:57They migrate for thousands of miles.
15:00That kind of sounds like my journey.
15:03Well, I'm just glad that your journey brought you here.
15:13Oh.
15:14Huh...
15:23So...
15:23Do you have any more fun facts about butterflies, Mr. Science?
15:27I do, actually.
15:29Did you know that butterflies are cold-blooded?
15:33They need to bask in the sun in order to be able to fly.
15:38How do you know all this?
15:40I worked here for a few summers to help pay my way through college.
15:44That's nice.
15:46Yeah, I felt like I was on this path I thought everyone had to be on, you know?
15:52College, career, get married, start a family of my own.
15:56Oh, thank you.
15:59I did not see this big break in the road.
16:02Sounds like you were blindsided.
16:04Maybe.
16:06Or maybe I was just paying too much attention to the road ahead.
16:10So focused on checking boxes, I never engaged with my life.
16:18Divorces sort of forced me to pay attention.
16:23And are you paying attention now?
16:27You sure I am?
16:35Now, I would like to share with you one of my very favorite things.
16:39Oh.
16:42How did you?
16:43What?
16:45This is a peanut butter and mayo sandwich.
16:49Mayo?
16:50Mm-hmm.
16:50I know.
16:51You're a little kooky Nate, Dalton.
16:53I prefer fun-loving.
16:55Hmm.
16:56Okay.
16:57Okay.
17:00I know.
17:01Okay.
17:01Here we go.
17:04It's really good.
17:06Yeah.
17:07It's really satisfying.
17:10I admitted this when I was eight.
17:12No, you did not.
17:14Mm-hmm.
17:14Really?
17:14It caused a stir in my school.
17:20A shooting star.
17:22I wish.
17:24Hmm.
17:31Let me guess.
17:33You wish to finish your list.
17:37What did you wish for?
17:40For you to be okay?
17:45I want you to be okay.
17:47Are you okay?
17:47I'm okay.
17:48I told you I could take care of myself.
17:51Yeah.
17:56I just don't think it concerns you.
18:03I want it to concern me.
18:09I'm just not ready, Nate.
18:15You shine brighter than the stars.
18:19And you know your butterflies.
18:24I love that those butterflies made you so happy.
18:29Richard, you're freezing.
18:31Let's get you home in my house.
18:32No, I don't know why I like it out here.
18:35It's peaceful.
18:38Five more minutes.
18:41Five more minutes.
18:57So, what's next?
18:59Riding wild stallions, bareback.
19:02What else is on the list?
19:03Hmm.
19:04There's rock climbing.
19:06I know a good place for rocks.
19:08We'd go tomorrow.
19:09Saturday, I'm not working.
19:10I should probably keep working on the mural.
19:13But thank you for a truly special day.
19:17I loved every minute of it.
19:20Well, I will see you for breakfast in the dining room.
19:23I will do my best to convince you to spend the whole day with me.
19:27Sounds good.
19:32Good night.
19:33Good night.
19:42What do you think?
19:44Can we trust him?
19:47I like him, too.
19:50Maybe.
19:51Just maybe.
19:52We can cross the last two items on the list one day.
19:57Maybe.
19:58Maybe.
20:07Smells good.
20:08No early risers?
20:10They'll be down in a few minutes.
20:12How was the social?
20:13Any good gossip this week?
20:15Hey, is Arthur Goodman still doing the thing with the suspenders and the belt?
20:19Don't make fun of Arthur Goodman.
20:21There's nothing wrong with making sure your pants don't fall.
20:25Sit.
20:27I had a nice visit with Joyce.
20:31Her nephew is coming to visit next month.
20:34Of course he is.
20:34And all my friends want to know how your children's ward is coming along.
20:39Well, it isn't exactly mine.
20:41But you can tell them that I'm drafting the last couple of changes.
20:45They're going in for approvals.
20:46Yeah, we're nearly done.
20:47It's all pretty positive.
20:49Great.
20:50That's what I assumed.
20:52And how are you and Vanessa?
20:57I'm your mother.
20:59I see the way you two look at each other.
21:01She's a lovely person.
21:04Cher.
21:07Well, the mural is gorgeous.
21:10It's perfect for the kids.
21:13She really seems to care.
21:15You can tell it with every brush stroke and the way she teaches the children.
21:23So this is a relationship then?
21:27Uh, I don't know.
21:29She's very private.
21:31I saw her covering up some bandages from some blood tests.
21:36I don't know what's going on with her, but she doesn't want to tell me.
21:40And I can't have another relationship filled with secrets.
21:44Not after Taylor.
21:45Vanessa isn't like that.
21:47You two are good for each other.
21:48You lift each other up.
21:49Yeah, maybe.
21:51But what if...
21:52You need to let yourself heal from Taylor.
21:55And know that you and Vanessa are a completely different kind of couple.
22:00I wish people would stop bringing up Taylor.
22:03Who's bringing up Taylor?
22:06At the social?
22:09Sweetheart, I don't know how to say this except to say it.
22:15Joyce heard that Taylor's pregnant.
22:19Taylor?
22:21My Taylor?
22:22My ex-Taylor?
22:25That Taylor, yes.
22:29Nate?
22:32Breathe, honey.
22:32Uh, I'm fine. I'm fine.
22:35I know how much you loved her.
22:37You stuck it out for so many years.
22:40Yeah, I did.
22:42I, uh, I thought we were till death do we part.
22:45I, uh, I thought we wanted to have children together.
22:50I guess she just didn't want to have children with me.
22:56You know, sometimes things happen for a reason.
22:59It's only been a few months.
23:00She's already pregnant with somebody's baby?
23:03Yeah, I would have made a great father.
23:05And you will be when the time is right.
23:08Exactly. Never.
23:10Ready to come in and take the day off, Nate?
23:15I can't do this.
23:16What?
23:17Nate!
23:19Nate!
23:22He's angry with someone else, not with you.
23:25Not one day has gone by in these last few weeks that Nate hasn't smiled from ear to ear because
23:30of you.
23:31There is no way...
23:32You know, there is every way he wouldn't want this.
23:41I don't blame him.
23:57Sam.
23:57Sam.
24:02I have done it all.
24:05I've done the silly things on your list.
24:08I have done the dangerous things on the list.
24:15But the last two, Sam.
24:17To love and be loved and to get married.
24:23I don't know.
24:24I have opened up my heart.
24:29You know how hard it is for me to do that.
24:32But I really try.
24:36The last two things on the list.
24:39I don't know if I have it in me.
24:41It's just...
24:44I don't know.
24:46I don't know.
24:54I am losing faith.
24:57I have fought so hard.
25:01And I've done all the treatments.
25:05And I have poured in my heart on countless murals across the country.
25:11And I painted you in them as an angel.
25:14Because I felt you with me.
25:21I am tired.
25:23I am tired to the bone.
25:26I just...
25:28I just need to rest.
25:30I need to rest.
25:31I need to rest.
25:34I...
25:52I...
25:57You have knocked it out of the park, Vanessa.
26:02This mural is 10 times more amazing
26:04than I thought it would be.
26:06I can't wait to share this with everyone at the opening gala.
26:08Aw, thanks, Wallace.
26:14So, you think you'll finish in time?
26:17I always do.
26:20Excellent.
26:22You sealed a deal to remodel a hospital in Vermont,
26:26and they asked you if you'd be interested in painting a mural for them.
26:35How are you?
26:36You bet.
26:37I love the state of Vermont,
26:39and I've always wanted to work on a project there.
26:41A lot of ice cream?
26:45Well, they'll find you a place to live, and they got a good budget.
26:47Great.
26:48The more I get, the more I can give back.
26:54I understand supporting the cause and everything, but...
26:58Can I ask?
26:59I mean, how are you living?
27:01You need money to live, too, right?
27:04I have my own needs.
27:08And art raises the spirits, no matter how dire your situation.
27:13I focus on serene colors so that the kids that come in here can feel comfort and light.
27:20They need to feel the peace and the hope that art can inspire.
27:25I want my art to make you feel better without you even knowing why.
27:32I should stop chatting and keep painting if I'm gonna finish this on time for the gala.
27:37Let the Vermont Hospital know you agreed to do their meal.
27:40Thanks, Wallace.
27:45You'll be over the moon.
27:53Climbing is such a workout, I'm feeling muscles I never even knew I had.
27:58There is a real color in your cheeks.
28:01I'm glad to see my son's absence isn't a drain on you.
28:06It's hurting me more than I want to admit, Iris.
28:09I can't wallow in it. I have to finish the mural in time for the gala.
28:13Will you stay after the gala?
28:16I don't think so.
28:18I got a job in Vermont.
28:20I'll be painting the mural of the hospital there.
28:22Wallace is project managing.
28:25You're moving to Vermont?
28:27Mm-hmm.
28:28All the fresh air and the fresh dairy, it'll be fun.
28:32All good points, but will you tell Nate?
28:37Well, he's not exactly around to tell.
28:40I haven't seen him, have you?
28:43His boss called him back on a project up in Boston that was erupting like a volcano.
28:48Apparently he's been spending too much time here and the other projects suffered.
28:52What's that?
28:55I'm glad he's getting his priorities in order.
28:59You are exactly what he needs right now.
29:02If he had said that himself, I'd be inclined to believe it.
29:06Please talk to him, Vanessa.
29:12I'm gonna miss you, Iris.
29:15I should go.
29:17I'll talk to you later.
29:28Yeah, so he just left for Boston.
29:30I still can't believe he just left.
29:32Well, his boss needed him back on a project, apparently.
29:35Sure, his work.
29:38He came back for the weekend, right?
29:40You didn't hear me.
29:42Nate left, period.
29:47There you go, buddy.
29:48Sorry, I dropped it.
29:50That's okay.
29:52I noticed you were putting a lot of work into your painting today.
29:56I like seeing that kind of effort.
29:58I hope to be as good as you one day.
30:02Well, I think that you can do whatever you set your mind to, Reese.
30:08I'm waiting.
30:10Waiting for what?
30:12For you to say that you'll fight for him.
30:14I have done enough fighting for my life.
30:16In, in my life.
30:18Kind of over it.
30:20I saw the way he looked at you the other day when he dropped by and he barely knew you
30:23then.
30:24Will you at least just tell him about your move to Vermont?
30:28I don't want you to leave, Vanessa.
30:32Oh, Sophia, you have so many great friends here.
30:36Lifelong friends.
30:37They'll always have your back.
30:40But who will have your back?
30:45Samantha.
30:47Always Samantha.
30:49Who's Samantha?
30:50What's that?
30:52She's someone who loved me and was always there for me.
31:01Excuse me.
31:05Vanessa?
31:21Nothing came up on your MRI.
31:23And your blood work markers look really good.
31:28Looks like you're just gonna need routine blood work once a year.
31:32Once a year?
31:33Oh.
31:34Wow.
31:36So does that mean I'm officially in remission?
31:38It looks that way.
31:39You're a very lucky girl.
31:42I know.
31:44Every morning I wake up, I'm grateful I'm still here.
31:47Well, it's been a long journey, but you beat the odds.
31:51And your diligence with the drug regime has really paid off.
31:54So no more pills?
31:56No more pills.
31:57Which means no more side effects.
32:02You're so welcome.
32:04Good luck, Vanessa.
32:05Go live your life to the fullest.
32:07I will.
32:07Okay.
32:20Lucky you are looking at a future top chef.
32:23Or maybe a future Nobel Peace Prize winner.
32:30Future?
32:30Future?
32:34I haven't had an actual future in years.
32:41Think of all the murals I can paint now.
32:44And think of all the new adventures I can have.
32:47I can climb mountains and I can see all the great art of the world.
32:51I can sail the seven seas.
32:56Although, I'm not sure if I like sailing.
32:59Well, we'll see.
33:04Ready for the next adventure, Lucky?
33:07Hmm?
33:08I'll take that as a yes.
33:24Hey, thanks for calling.
33:26I was feeling a little at loose ends with myself with Nate being gone again.
33:29Yep.
33:31I'm glad we can go to the gala together.
33:34Me too.
33:36Life's too short to wait for anyone.
33:39You know it?
33:41You know what we should do?
33:42What?
33:43We should stay up all night and watch the sunrise.
33:46Okay, but I need a favor.
33:49Okay.
33:50Can you teach me how to tango, can you?
33:52I can teach you.
33:53I can.
33:54Do you mind?
33:54No.
33:54Okay, alright.
33:55We're on.
33:58Alright, you ready?
34:01Yeah.
34:02Good night.
34:08I love, love, love, love, love it!
34:11The colors, the style, the images.
34:14This is Creek Falls.
34:15And you are giving hope to everyone who walks through these doors for care.
34:20It's extraordinary.
34:21Thanks, Carolyn.
34:23You are now appointed my number one art reviewer.
34:26I'm not trying to inflate your ego.
34:27I'm truly blown away.
34:29You're gonna make me blush.
34:31On another note, the kids are going to miss you terribly.
34:35I'm gonna miss them too.
34:38And I'll miss you.
34:39Becoming friends with you has been one of the best parts about living here.
34:42And there are a lot of good things about living here.
34:45Oh, you're gonna make me blush.
34:47I'll try to swing by and visit the kids before I go.
34:52Any chance you could make Creek Falls your home base?
34:56You could still go and paint, travel, have big adventures, but just call this place home?
35:02I love Creek Falls, but I just have to follow my path.
35:09To be open to where the road, my road will take me.
35:14And Nate?
35:17You don't see a path that leads you back to him?
35:20No.
35:21Unfortunately not.
35:23He's still in Boston.
35:25I haven't heard from him.
35:27Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. That's really unlike him.
35:30I was blindsided. I left my heart out there.
35:35Open.
35:37I'm so confused about men now.
35:39Don't let Nate discourage you.
35:41There are a lot of decent guys. There is someone for you.
35:47You're right.
35:48I'll meet my soulmate out on the open road.
35:50That's very profound.
35:52But tonight we celebrate.
35:57Oh.
35:58I'm going to get us more champagne.
36:05Vanessa?
36:07Wallace?
36:08You'll be pleased to know that all your laboring is paid off.
36:12Everyone loves the mural.
36:15You should be proud.
36:18I am really proud of my work.
36:20But I'm also really proud to be a part of this journey.
36:25It's quite an amazing journey.
36:28Yeah.
36:28Yeah.
36:29I'm very grateful.
36:38Care to dance?
36:39I would love to dance.
36:44You know you still owe me that tangles.
36:45I do. I do.
36:47Yeah, you do.
36:47You're a very good dancer.
36:53Is that Nate?
36:54Nate!
37:03Hey.
37:04Hey Wallace.
37:06Nate?
37:11Excuse me.
37:13The mural is spectacular.
37:17Congratulations.
37:18Thanks.
37:23There's your signature angel.
37:27She's always there when someone needs strength.
37:39Your work is so famous.
37:40Why don't you just sign it with your own name?
37:44I don't paint murals and hospitals for attention, Nate.
37:47I don't do it for money.
37:50I do it to comfort the patients and their families and caregivers.
37:54To give them hope when there's darkness.
37:57To remind them that they're loved and they're not alone.
38:09So.
38:11You're leaving?
38:12Tomorrow.
38:20I'm gonna go find Caroline.
38:21No, please.
38:22Listen.
38:25I know I don't deserve it after my little vanishing act, but I would love the opportunity.
38:31To give you an explanation.
38:40Okay.
38:42Okay.
38:47When I found out Taylor was pregnant, it really messed me up.
38:57I had been wanting a family for so long.
39:02And she had been resistant to that idea.
39:06And I realized now that she just didn't want to have a family with me.
39:16And I had to come to terms with that.
39:20I wasn't the right person for her.
39:23But more importantly, she wasn't the right person for me either.
39:30Vanessa, you've opened me up to living life fully.
39:35And my life doesn't feel full without you in it.
39:41You are my person, Vanessa.
39:47Look.
39:48I hear you.
39:52I just don't think I'm that important to you.
39:56Nate, I let you in and you just left without an explanation.
39:58You just left me here alone.
40:00I made a mistake.
40:01I understand that.
40:03I was just so confused about the list and the pills.
40:06But while I was away, I came to understand that it doesn't matter how much time we have.
40:14Just so we get to spend it together.
40:20Time is so precious.
40:27I just don't know if I want to invest it in someone who's broken my trust.
40:39I'm sorry, Nate.
40:40I'm sorry.
40:54It's open.
41:02Hey, Vanessa.
41:05Mind if I come in?
41:07Well, you own the place, so sure.
41:20Can we sit?
41:22Can we sit?
41:44So, uh, is it, um, quite a big mural that you're, you're painting in, in Vermont?
41:53Very big.
41:55Wow.
41:57Sounds tough.
42:06How have you been?
42:09Fine.
42:11My mom mentioned that you'd gotten some news?
42:16Yeah.
42:18Some really good news.
42:20You just won't let me in.
42:27I-I can see how, from your perspective, that seems true.
42:35But I was only trying to protect myself.
42:38And Samantha.
42:42Who is Samantha?
42:44I've heard you mention her.
42:46Was she your grandmother?
42:49No, she's not my grandmother.
42:56She's my guardian angel.
42:59And I am her life.
43:02It's okay.
43:05It's okay.
43:12It's okay.
43:19She knew her disease was incurable, and yet she spent all her strength trying to help me.
43:28But that's the strength I see in you every day.
43:32That's the life that we see in your murals.
43:39After, after she died, I started to get better, and I went into remission.
43:46Your pills.
43:48I-I thought that, that you were dying, and that's what you couldn't share with me.
43:53No.
43:54The pills were to help me rebuild my immune system after years of treatments.
44:00I-I was in remission, but the doctors weren't ready to get me cleaned both holes.
44:07That's-that's the news I got yesterday.
44:13And I wasn't here to share that with you.
44:18I'm so sorry.
44:20It's okay.
44:23There's something else that I haven't shared.
44:29When we first met, I couldn't place where I'd seen your artwork before.
44:35I went online and did some searching, but none of it really connected.
44:43Then, at the gala, I saw your mural.
44:47And it clicked.
44:52My father was at a hospital in Delaware.
44:57He did a mural there.
45:00It must have been one of your first.
45:03He mentioned it several times, and I-I remember wheeling him back to his ward one time.
45:10He pointed out the angel in the mural.
45:14Your angel gave my father peace and tranquility in his final hours.
45:23She gave me peace.
45:26So you and I-
45:28We've been close, even though we've never met.
45:33I'm the painter, but Sam was always the angel.
45:37Well, she brought us together, so-so she's my angel, too.
45:41Yeah.
45:43Yeah.
45:45I was so scared.
45:47You started working through your list.
45:51The closer we got, the more the idea of you dying, it engulfed me.
45:59I didn't know how to feel.
46:02But now I know.
46:05I know that I have fallen completely in love with you.
46:09And your spirit.
46:12You-you've changed how I look at life.
46:14And-and how precious our moments are here.
46:19Life's short.
46:20I don't want to waste any more time without you.
46:24Babe, I missed you so much.
46:33Yes.
46:36I'm yours.
46:37If you'll have me.
46:39Having you here, right now, hearing what you're saying,
46:44is giving me more strength than you could possibly imagine.
46:49But...
46:50Don't disappear on me again, please.
46:53I-I do. I promise.
46:55I didn't mean to run away on you.
46:57That was just about my past.
46:59And-and letting go of old dreams.
47:02So that I could restart.
47:04And make new ones.
47:06To look forward to the future.
47:11Yeah.
47:13The future.
47:19Sam wrote the bucket list.
47:23All the items on their list are things that she wanted for me.
47:28And I feel sad doing them because she-
47:30She never could.
47:32She wouldn't want you to feel sad.
47:37It's especially the last two.
47:40To...
47:41Fall in love and...
47:43Get married.
47:45They break me because...
47:48She never got to meet her person.
47:51Never got to...
47:53Feel the way I feel about you.
47:56But she'd want you to feel that.
48:00Yeah.
48:01Yeah, she would.
48:15I love you.
48:17I love your laugh and your smile.
48:20And your art and your passion.
48:22I love you too.
48:25I love you too.
48:31So...
48:32Maybe...
48:33We could...
48:35Make Creek Falls our home base.
48:38You could travel for your projects.
48:41I could travel for my projects.
48:43And...
48:44We could get started on a combined list.
48:48What?
48:51Number one.
48:52Oh, looks like this one's just for me.
48:55Find the most beautiful girl in the world.
49:03And propose to her.
49:15Will you marry me?
49:18Yeah.
49:19Yes.
49:24I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
49:27Living our very own list.
49:32I think Samantha would like that.
49:34I think she would love that.
49:44I think she would love that.
50:07Meet me where the sun sets
50:11Cold in days I won't forget
50:14Lights will hold you as you rest
50:21Meet me where the road ends
50:24Lost out here without my friends
50:27You know, with all the life I've seen come through these doors
50:30Weddings and christenings, celebration of family and friends
50:35I have never seen so much love between two people
50:39I know my John can see that, John
