Short filmTranscript
00:00:14I am a haunted house, and she is the ghost in the attic, turning on lights, stomping
00:00:23on the floor, and making herself known in every reflection I see.
00:00:29She's there, she's always there, to remind me of how lonely the world can be.
00:00:36To remind me that we are all fragile.
00:00:40I am there, with her, up those stairs, sitting in the dark, planning our future together.
00:00:47A future we will never have, a future I will never deserve.
00:00:56I am an exorcist, purging her with pigment.
00:01:17If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
00:01:22One thing?
00:01:24One thing's all I get?
00:01:27One thing's all I get, I don't want to play this game.
00:01:35I want to be President of the United States.
00:01:38That's right.
00:01:39That way I can declare a state anarchy.
00:01:44I want to be a movie star.
00:01:46A big fucking movie star.
00:01:50Live in a big fucking house, make big fucking movies.
00:01:58I want to be the love child of Sid Vicious and Molly Ringwald.
00:02:07I want to sit up all night in an all night diner and order nothing.
00:02:13I want to be God, for the sole purpose of saying, I brought you into this world, don't
00:02:17think for one minute I will take you out.
00:02:23I want the original promise.
00:02:27I want justice for all.
00:02:32I want love, hate, ups and downs, and everything in between, for nothing in return.
00:02:44I want the world in my palm.
00:02:47No cooler than 60 degrees, no warmer than 75, and never a cloud in the sky.
00:02:58I want the perfect kiss, the perfect imperfection, the perfect life, the more than anything.
00:03:12I want someone who wants what I want.
00:03:16And I want her to walk through that door right over there and order biscuits and grape.
00:03:28Hi.
00:03:30Hi.
00:03:30Hi.
00:03:31Hi.
00:03:32I bet your kids are adorable.
00:03:37Oh, it's okay.
00:03:38I already know what I want.
00:03:39Okay.
00:03:40I'll have the biscuits and gravy, please.
00:03:42Same.
00:03:43Okay.
00:03:43Two biscuits and gravy.
00:03:45Anything to drink?
00:03:46Coffee's fine.
00:03:46All right.
00:03:47Thanks.
00:03:48Thanks.
00:03:49I'm Brian.
00:03:50Bella.
00:03:51Nice to meet you, Bella.
00:03:54She blew into my life like a storm, uprooting everything I knew to be true and filling it
00:04:00with so much more.
00:04:02She became everything I never knew I wanted.
00:04:05In a single glance, in a moment, in a straight conversation.
00:04:12And that slight smile that started with the curling of her toes and ended at the corner
00:04:16of her lips.
00:04:18Just before she burst into laughter, she became it.
00:04:24She became perfection.
00:04:31Cool.
00:04:33So.
00:04:34So.
00:04:35Morrissey or The Cure?
00:04:37Uh, The Cure.
00:04:38Yeah.
00:04:39Beatles or Stones?
00:04:40The Stones.
00:04:41King of Pop or King of Rock?
00:04:43King of Rock.
00:04:45Definitely.
00:04:46Well, Elvis is always fascinated.
00:04:48How so?
00:04:50Well, here's this normal guy that accidentally got famous.
00:04:53I mean, he wrote a song that was for his dad or his uncle or something like that for
00:04:58their birthday.
00:04:59And the next thing you know, he's a teen idol.
00:05:02I just, watching his life is like watching a tree grow and it gets bigger and bigger and
00:05:08then he ends up swollen and yellow.
00:05:14And it's like he was on a satellite somewhere in outer space and watching himself.
00:05:20And that's what it did to him.
00:05:22Are you saying that Elvis was an alien?
00:05:26Hello, darling.
00:05:27This is Elvis from the planet Graceland.
00:05:29I just want to thank you for coming out on a date with me.
00:05:34You know what I like about you?
00:05:36What's that?
00:05:37You're full of shits.
00:05:39And I think I just got a little Amish.
00:05:42Oh, I apologize.
00:05:44Sorry about that.
00:05:44You better be.
00:05:47To Elvis.
00:05:49To Elvis.
00:05:51Elvis, yellow and swollen.
00:05:55How could I have known even then, in a moment of such happiness, the longitude and latitude
00:06:02of my fall from Graceland.
00:06:06Hours went by.
00:06:08Day turns to night, night to day.
00:06:11Small talk turns to talk of dreams and aspirations.
00:06:16First date eyes become the eyes that you take for granted.
00:06:22I hang on every word, she says.
00:06:26And those hours that became days become weeks.
00:06:29And we were married on a Saturday.
00:06:33And those weeks became months.
00:06:36And Cole, our first daughter, was born as sweet as sugar.
00:06:41And those months became a year.
00:06:43And that year became four years.
00:06:45And Sarah, our second daughter, was born.
00:06:49Born sick.
00:06:51And that sickness drove Bella into darkness.
00:06:53And she began to wither and die.
00:06:58And me.
00:07:01I became Elvis.
00:07:03Yellow and swollen.
00:07:05Watching my life unfold from a satellite somewhere in space.
00:07:11Counting the rings of my tree.
00:07:13And forever wondering how this perfect life came to be.
00:07:19спont comin'
00:07:27at the home of Massie Peek Effect deathbed with her apartment.
00:07:30And girls had flooded with her walk and AWK.
00:07:39Tell her, put her留 down one of her증 is hitting them high.
00:07:40Daynail M&A.
00:07:42Today?
00:07:42I'll be right there, honey.
00:07:43All right?
00:08:23Yay!
00:08:25Well, I think you got dog poo in your hair.
00:08:29Yeah!
00:08:31Yuck, where did you get the dog poo in your hair?
00:08:36Here, we think we need to wash it out.
00:08:38Okay, then let's wash it out.
00:08:43Alright, here we go.
00:08:44Here, turn over.
00:08:47Lean back.
00:08:48Lean back.
00:08:49There we go.
00:08:50No, you want to lean back.
00:08:51No, the other way.
00:08:52Because if you lean back, then I won't get your dress.
00:08:54Hold my hands.
00:08:55Hold your hands.
00:08:56And lean back.
00:08:57There we go.
00:08:58Oh, that feels good, right?
00:08:59There we go.
00:09:01Yay, good girl.
00:09:06There it is.
00:09:07Oh, yes.
00:09:08Let's do it.
00:09:10Standing on the shoulders of children.
00:09:13Innocent eyes that gaze upon the world with wondrous excitement.
00:09:17You will probably never know me.
00:09:20You will probably not remember me.
00:09:23But someday, when you're older, your mother will show you a photograph and tell you my story.
00:09:31A story filled with self-abandon and regret.
00:09:35Regret that I will not be there for your report cards.
00:09:39For proms.
00:09:41For proms.
00:09:41For graduations.
00:09:43To give you both away at your weddings.
00:09:47I always wanted to be the one to teach you to drive.
00:09:50To navigate life with that same beautiful innocence that fills your youthful spirit today.
00:09:55To hope.
00:09:59To strive.
00:10:01To dream.
00:10:03But you're only three feet tall.
00:10:06And already bigger than me.
00:10:08To dream.
00:10:09To dream.
00:10:26To dream.
00:10:26Good morning.
00:10:27Time to get up.
00:10:29My water broke, Brian.
00:10:32Huh?
00:10:32Ryan.
00:10:34I just thought I was having a wet dream.
00:10:35Oh, funny.
00:10:37Come on, get up.
00:10:38Who? Hello? Hello? I can't reach you. Come on. I'll get out of bed. Feel this thing. It's coming out.
00:10:46It's coming out. Please.
00:10:48Alright. I'm just trying to keep you from panicking. Alright. Yeah, take your time.
00:10:55Well, I'm trying. Look, I can't go to the hospital naked. Why not? That would be a little awkward.
00:11:02Okay. Alright. Speaking of which hospital are we going to? You don't know which hospital we're going to?
00:11:06I don't know. Yes, I know which hospital. Which hospital are we going to? I don't know. Let's go. I
00:11:12got it.
00:11:15Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Calm down. Okay. Calm down.
00:11:25Watch the hose. Something with more water than you. Oh, come on.
00:11:30Reese's, you stay right there.
00:11:33And... Okay.
00:11:38Okay. Oh.
00:11:39Alright.
00:11:40Why is this getting out of the car?
00:11:42Oh, God. We're going to have to detail the car after this.
00:11:45Okay.
00:11:46Okay.
00:11:49You ready?
00:11:50Oh, baby. I'm ready. Um, are you ready?
00:11:53You seem a little frazzled. Yes, I'm frazzled. Yes.
00:11:57Just breathe.
00:11:58Okay.
00:11:59Maybe, um, Cole should drive.
00:12:04Cole!
00:12:12O-oh.
00:12:18Good.
00:12:26Come on.
00:12:33Come on.
00:12:34I need to here.
00:12:35I need to help you.
00:12:39It's okay, it's okay.
00:12:42I'm gonna go for a watch.
00:13:11Hello?
00:13:13Are you busy?
00:13:15Ryan, are you okay?
00:13:17I just needed to talk to someone.
00:13:20I'll wait up.
00:13:30Time.
00:13:31It moves so slowly when you have nothing to do but think.
00:13:36To remember the beginning.
00:13:38To dwell on the end.
00:13:41And to be haunted by everything in between.
00:13:44To be haunted by that word.
00:13:48That undefinable word.
00:13:51As undefinable as God.
00:13:54Yet a word I thought I knew intimately.
00:13:58Perfection.
00:13:59The perfect wife.
00:14:01The perfect children.
00:14:03The house.
00:14:04The dog.
00:14:05The job.
00:14:05The two car garage.
00:14:07The diapers.
00:14:07The joint bank account.
00:14:10Piano recitals.
00:14:12Tap shoes.
00:14:14The American dream.
00:14:16An idea that became an ideal.
00:14:20It's Friday.
00:14:23Is it recycling or yard waste today?
00:14:27How much?
00:14:39The nhà and científic.
00:14:40I was able to get him by the 5 p.m.
00:14:43It's a full day by going by listening to our shop.
00:14:46And it's half the day by dropping.
00:14:48In the last game.
00:14:56This is a bit of Creoamer CF.
00:15:14Have you ever stood naked, alone, and out of reach?
00:15:33The way Sarah cries, I can't help her.
00:15:39And the way Bella cries, she doesn't want me to help her.
00:15:44I just want...
00:15:46I know.
00:15:49Well, I don't.
00:15:52Once upon a time, maybe, but not anymore.
00:15:57You want too much.
00:15:59No, I don't.
00:16:01I just want...
00:16:02Your list is too long, and I'm too tired.
00:16:07But I only want it to be perfect.
00:16:09Well, it's not.
00:16:11You never would have started fucking me.
00:16:22Do you have any idea what it's like to want something that you can't have?
00:16:30What do you want?
00:16:32I want you.
00:16:34And you want her.
00:16:37But you don't want her.
00:16:39You want the idea of her.
00:16:41And what you don't understand, Brian, is that you've idealized your life away.
00:16:47But I want you.
00:16:50I don't know what you want.
00:16:52But you don't want me.
00:16:54I'm just another part of the ideal, and I'm not perfect.
00:16:59But you're perfect to me.
00:17:04Don't want kids.
00:17:06I'm a cat person.
00:17:08I need time alone more than that.
00:17:10I need time with people.
00:17:13But I already know all of this.
00:17:15And I love you for you.
00:17:18How can you love me when she gives you everything?
00:17:23Everything I want, but nothing I need.
00:17:28This, right here, right now, this is what I need.
00:17:40I need her to hold me like she used to.
00:17:45To hold me so close like we're the same person.
00:17:49Like this.
00:17:51Like what we have.
00:18:01We have a dance and a photograph.
00:18:11Kim was right.
00:18:14She had become the band-aid for a wound that would not heal.
00:18:18And no matter how much of her I stripped away.
00:18:21She would never fit into the mold Bella had created.
00:18:25If I'd be more alone with you.
00:18:29Without you.
00:18:46She was right about a lot of things.
00:18:49One day you wake up and you realize that everything you ever wanted turned out to be nothing you ever
00:18:55wanted at all.
00:18:58And even the big things become as trivial as watermelon.
00:19:25You smell like cigarettes.
00:19:28I'm watermelon.
00:19:30You smell like cigarettes.
00:19:31It's very bad.
00:19:36I'm that milk.
00:19:49It's very bad.
00:19:50It's very bad.
00:19:50It's very bad.
00:19:51It's very bad.
00:19:51I'meming it.
00:19:52Yeah.
00:19:52Great.
00:19:55I'm really good.
00:19:57I'm good.
00:19:57I'm good.
00:20:00I'm happy.
00:20:01I'm happy.
00:20:04Are you doing anything for lunch today?
00:20:07No. Did you want to do something?
00:20:10Well, I was thinking about stopping by.
00:20:13I'd like to.
00:20:32What time did you come in last night?
00:20:36What's that, honey?
00:20:38What time did you come in last night?
00:20:41I don't know. I didn't really look at the clock.
00:20:44I didn't even hear you come in.
00:20:46Really?
00:20:48Well, I gave you a kiss. Good night. You rolled over. I thought I woke you up.
00:20:55Nope.
00:20:58You know, one of these days I'm going to get a call from Canada.
00:21:02You're going to be missing a sock.
00:21:04You're going to have a new tattoo of a heart and some sailor's name on your ass.
00:21:08And you're going to say,
00:21:10I don't know where I was, but I woke up in a car that wasn't mine
00:21:14with some large man in a unitard offering me a sip of bourbon.
00:21:21Here's our other sock, sailor.
00:21:35You're so sexy when you have your drafting face on.
00:21:37Hey, beautiful.
00:21:38Hi.
00:21:40Want to go get some lunch or something?
00:21:41Yeah, I was thinking we could go down to the waterfront, but first I need to use the restroom.
00:21:46Yeah, just at the end of the hall to the left.
00:21:50Well, aren't you forgetting something?
00:21:51And what would that be?
00:21:53Do I have to ask?
00:22:04Hi.
00:22:05Hi.
00:22:07You look good.
00:22:09Oh, thanks.
00:22:09How are you?
00:22:10I'm good.
00:22:11I just stopped by for lunch.
00:22:12I think we're going to go to the waterfront.
00:22:14Did you want to come?
00:22:15I can't.
00:22:16Thanks, though.
00:22:17I've already got plans.
00:22:18That's too bad.
00:22:19We don't hang out enough.
00:22:20I know.
00:22:20We should see each other more often.
00:22:23Oh, that's pretty.
00:22:24What is it?
00:22:25Thanks.
00:22:26I think it's called posh, but it tastes like watermelon.
00:22:30Yeah, watermelon.
00:22:31I like it.
00:22:34Watermelon.
00:22:34So how have you been?
00:22:36Good.
00:22:37You know, kids and stuff.
00:22:40Yeah, we've got some clients like that.
00:22:43Well, it's good to see you.
00:22:46I've got to get back to work.
00:22:48Yeah, good to see you, too.
00:22:51Watermelon.
00:22:52Watermelon.
00:22:54Oh.

00:23:51Yeah.

00:23:58Bella?
00:23:59Are you okay?
00:24:00Yeah.

00:24:03If you want to talk, Mom, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, it's okay, I just...
00:24:08I'm right out here if you need anything.
00:24:10I'm fine.
00:24:10Yeah.
00:24:39Shut up.
00:24:40God.
00:24:46Everything's gonna be okay.
00:24:48Everything's gonna be okay.
00:24:50Everything's gonna be okay.
00:24:51Everything's gonna be okay.
00:24:55Everything's gonna be okay.
00:24:57Everything's gonna be okay.
00:25:11Hello!
00:25:13Hi.
00:25:15Mommy cooking?
00:25:17Something smells good.
00:25:20Cooking baby.
00:25:26Something smells good.
00:25:33How was work?
00:25:35The moment you find some trouble prick though.
00:25:36That was good.
00:25:38It's nice to see you today for lunch.
00:25:39You should do that morning.
00:25:40Oh, hello.

00:25:45Come on.
00:26:09She knew.
00:26:12Nothing more need be said, she knew.
00:26:15And the thought came to her as quickly as a bullet.
00:26:19A bullet expelled from a gun that I had cleaned, oiled, aimed, and fired.
00:26:28Dearest Bella, I miss you.

00:29:22at 555-4868, or stay on the line and leave a message.
00:29:32Hey John, this is Brian, I'm having a family emergency, so I'm just calling to let you
00:29:39know that I won't be to work for a couple days, so I'll probably see you next Monday.
00:29:44Bye.
00:29:49Bye.
00:30:16Bella died for 48 seconds.
00:30:20I have been dying ever since.
00:30:24As her heart slowed and stopped, I realized at that very moment something I should have
00:30:29always known.
00:30:32She loved me more than she loved herself.
00:30:38She loved me.
00:31:33I remember when I met your mother.
00:31:36She was beautiful.
00:31:41It's not that she's not beautiful.
00:31:42She's gorgeous.
00:31:45It's just...
00:31:48I'm used to her.
00:31:52I don't even know why I did it.
00:31:54Stupid.
00:31:59It's not commitment that I have a problem with.
00:32:03It's contentment.
00:32:09It's like no matter how good I have it, it's never good enough.
00:32:15It's no one's fault.
00:32:24It's fucked up.
00:32:25I don't know why I have a problem with her.
00:32:54I don't know why I have a problem with her.
00:32:54I don't know why I have a problem with her.
00:32:55What is her name, please?
00:32:57Bella Sanders.
00:33:13Your wife is in stable condition.
00:33:15She should be released sometime this evening or tomorrow morning.
00:33:20Okay.
00:33:49She's sleeping, Brian.
00:34:13She doesn't want to talk yet, Brian.
00:34:16I just want to make sure she's okay.
00:34:19I think it's going to be a long time before she's okay.
00:34:28I think it's gonna be a long time before she's okay.
00:34:51Gary, is Bella there?
00:34:53He will call you when she's ready.
00:35:27Ryan, she's just not ready yet.
00:35:30Can I please see the girls?
00:35:32Hold on.
00:35:38What time do you get off tomorrow?
00:35:41Whenever you want.
00:35:43Meet me at Owens Beach around 1.
00:35:48Thank you so much.
00:35:49I'll see you tomorrow.
00:35:53You want to see a call tomorrow?

00:37:05Oh, she's dead.
00:37:06How has she been?
00:37:08Oh.
00:37:10Oh, he's doing interesting things.
00:37:12Oh, yeah.

00:37:43There you go.
00:37:45Hi.
00:37:47There you are, gorgeous.
00:38:01Thank you so much for bringing the family.
00:38:03It's just the right thing to do.
00:38:07So how are you doing?
00:38:10I just wanna know if she's okay.
00:38:12She's really hurt, Brian, and I don't think she's gonna forgive you.
00:38:16Well, I can't even forgive myself.
00:38:19I know you love her, and she loves you.
00:38:21You just made a mistake.
00:38:23She doesn't understand that you understand what you've done.
00:38:27She only knows she's hurting, and it's because of you.
00:38:34I...
00:38:34This is either gonna drive you farther apart or bring you closer together,
00:38:39but it's not your choice.
00:38:41It's her choice now.
00:38:43I know.
00:38:46You just have to give her time to decide.
00:38:49It's just hard not being able to see her or talk to her.
00:39:03Thanks for coming out today.
00:39:06It's just the right thing to do.
00:39:31It's just the right thing to do.
00:39:34So how are you doing?
00:39:37If I see a therapist three times a week, the state won't take the kids.
00:39:40How are you?
00:39:42Well, it's over.
00:39:43I told her we're done.
00:39:45It's too late for that part.
00:39:46I know I messed up and I can't go back.
00:39:52But I'm sorry.
00:39:54I'm so sorry.
00:39:56How could you do this to me?
00:39:59How?
00:40:00When I love you so much?
00:40:03I don't know.
00:40:04I love you so much, Brian.
00:40:14I love you.
00:40:24I want a divorce.
00:40:26Bella.
00:40:27I don't want to talk about it.
00:40:28I want a divorce.
00:40:30And I want the kids.
00:40:32And the house and the car.
00:40:36And you can keep the dog, okay?
00:40:39Take whatever you want.
00:40:43Could you be out by Friday?
00:40:45If we don't come home soon, Cole's going to know something's wrong.
00:40:48Well, what are you going to tell her when you come home and I'm not here?
00:40:52I'm going to tell her the truth.
00:40:56Okay, she should know.
00:41:04I have to go.
00:41:07Take care of yourself, Brian.
00:41:09Yeah.
00:41:11I love you.
00:41:20Okay.
00:41:21I guess this is it for a while.
00:41:35Now I'm coming.
00:41:36You can't.
00:41:37Very much, uh-oh.
00:41:41Good morning.
00:41:57How little did this happen?
00:41:58I think he was searching for fun.
00:42:02Take care of weeks so much, rail.
00:42:03And I have to come, Ford Miller, we have to try to go.
00:42:30I've known you for a long time, and I've never seen you like that.
00:42:36I'm sorry, John. I'm just having problems at home.
00:42:39You've missed 43 days in the past three months, and when you do show up, you smell like alcohol.
00:42:49My wife and I are... I don't even know what we are.
00:42:53Which is why it hurts me to do this, but you're really not leaving me any choice.
00:42:59I understand.
00:43:02And I wish you the best. I really do.
00:43:06Thanks.
00:43:24What I didn't give away, I threw away. I threw it all away. As easily as one throws away the
00:43:32wrapping on a birthday present.
00:43:35I've always been too selfish to understand that it's the wrapping that makes it special.
00:43:40You're fired, he said, in so many words. You're fired from life.
00:43:47For you have failed everyone who has ever loved you. You have failed yourself.
00:43:53And no amount of sorry will make this better. No amount of forgiveness will make me worthy.
00:44:00I deserve the hurt I have caused. And in the end, the last thing I want is to feel better.
00:44:08Are you scared?
00:44:09Where's the room?
00:44:25Security!
00:44:48Excuse me sir, we've had a few noise complaints and to top it off, your credit card is going
00:44:56to be fine.
00:44:57So we need to get your stuff out right now.
00:45:00Do you have a jacket you want to bring?
00:45:03Is this your jacket?
00:45:05Is this the one?
00:45:07Yeah?
00:45:08Here.
00:45:08Why don't you put that on?
00:45:10Alright, we've got to grab your stuff.
00:45:12What do you want to bring with you?
00:45:18There.
00:45:19Hold on to that.
00:45:22Hold on.
00:45:23Hold on.
00:45:25Just...
00:45:25I don't know.
00:45:27Is that all you need?
00:45:27Alright, we're going to...
00:45:29Alright, we're going to go.
00:45:29We're ready.
00:45:46Run.
00:45:47We're running.
00:45:48We're gonna...
00:45:49We're running...
00:45:50We are running...
00:46:52The party just moved to a new venue, that's all.
00:46:55Good work.
00:47:07You know what?
00:47:10I love you, Reese.
00:47:12You know what else?
00:47:15You're too good for this.
00:47:18You want to go home?
00:47:20Come on.
00:47:22Off like a herd of turtles.
00:47:25Come on.
00:47:34I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
00:47:41Well, I know you've heard this story a million times, but if I don't keep talking, I can't keep walking.
00:47:53So, a million and one.
00:47:56What do you have to say about that, huh?
00:48:00Huh?
00:48:03That's what I thought.
00:48:06Anyway, we drove all day to get to where you were born.
00:48:12Have you ever seen your mother drive?
00:48:14Huh?
00:48:16She's beautiful.
00:48:17She's so serious.
00:48:22I always felt like I was on a mission to make her laugh.
00:48:28I like that feeling of trying to impress somebody.
00:48:32She made me feel that way all the time.
00:48:35Huh.
00:48:37And when she smiled, I swear there was heaven on her lips.
00:48:44But don't get any ideas.
00:48:47You're too young to start dating there, mister.
00:48:50You're too young for that.
00:48:55Anyway, we get to the farm way out in the boonies.
00:49:02And I swear the place was odd.
00:49:05It was like a circus.
00:49:08There was kids on unicycles.
00:49:13Goats with eight horns.
00:49:16I think there was even a cat with wings.
00:49:20Woo-hoo-hoo!
00:49:23Bet you like to play with that.
00:49:25Chase that around the yard all day, huh?
00:49:30Oh.
00:49:32And your mother, she had the best sense of style.
00:49:38She wore dresses from the 50s.
00:49:39And little things in her hair.
00:49:49She reminded me of Marilyn Monroe before...
00:49:53Well, she was Marilyn Monroe.
00:49:59I think it was the way the wind whipped up her dress.
00:50:06It didn't matter where we went or what we did.
00:50:13But I couldn't take my eyes off her.
00:50:19She glowed even when she slept.
00:50:24Have you ever seen The Lion King?
00:50:28I have about 75 times.
00:50:31I have kids.
00:50:34Remember?
00:50:36Remember when James Earl Jones is holding up Simba?
00:50:46Well, that's how it was when I met you.
00:50:52Only, you weren't Simba.
00:50:59You were like a peanut-butter cup.
00:51:08A fat, chunky, little peanut-butter cup.
00:51:18They got everythingfish, huh?
00:51:18That's how you got her name.

01:02:02you
01:02:24Do you mind if I sit and watch you paint?
01:02:27No, not at all.
01:02:31This has always reminded me of something from a different life.
01:02:35A couple of months ago, it was wrapped in plastic.
01:02:40Interesting how something so strong can also be so fragile.
01:02:45So are you in school?
01:02:46Third quarter freshman.
01:02:48Well, it's very beautiful.
01:02:52Do you paint?
01:02:54I always wanted to.
01:02:55I was told my wife I'd paint her, but I never did.
01:02:59You're married?
01:03:01No, I'm divorced.
01:03:03I'm sorry.
01:03:05It's okay, it's been a while now.
01:03:07How long?
01:03:09Going on three years.
01:03:11This is too bad.
01:03:15It's all right.
01:03:16Where are you from?
01:03:18Yeah.
01:03:19They must have tourists written all over me.
01:03:22Well, that depends if you ask me to take your picture in front of the space needle or not.
01:03:28I'm from Portland.
01:03:30Really?
01:03:30Yeah.
01:03:30I'm sailing.
01:03:31Right on.
01:03:35Well, I should probably let you get back to your work.
01:03:38That's okay.
01:03:39You don't have to.
01:03:41Thanks, but I need to start looking for some dinner.
01:03:45But good luck to you.
01:03:47You too.
01:03:49Good luck to you.
01:04:25Good luck to you.
01:05:02Good luck to you.
01:05:04I'm just trying to get money to the other person for some food.
01:05:08Do you have any spare change?
01:05:10I'm sorry, don't.
01:05:12It's okay. Thanks anyway.
01:05:14Have a good night.
01:05:16You too.
01:05:32So I don't give the homeless money, but I will help you help yourself.
01:05:37You don't have to do this.
01:05:38No, it's okay. I want to.
01:05:40See, you can paint pictures, and that way you don't have to bet.
01:05:45Can I hug you?
01:05:49Oh, you're one of the nicest people I've ever met.
01:05:53I hope you get everything you ever want from life.
01:05:57That you know what you have when you have it.
01:06:10Hey.
01:06:12Hey!
01:06:14Here goes Frankie, the architect.
01:06:17Fuck.
01:06:26You gonna come over and join me or what?
01:06:38What the fuck are you so happy about?
01:06:42Life... goes on.
01:06:46It doesn't matter how much you push it, pull it, remember, or forget.
01:06:51It's indifferent.
01:06:52It just goes on.
01:06:55And I think back to the little things.
01:06:58The things that matter most.
01:06:59The laughter.
01:07:02The laughter.
01:07:03The wet laughter that hurts in the best way.
01:07:07Her lip-lock eyes across a crowded room.
01:07:12Philosophy over coffee.
01:07:16Explaining why the sky is blue to a child who thinks the world of you.
01:07:21So wide-eyed and full of possibilities.
01:07:25Endless possibilities.
01:07:28When the world was made of magic.
01:07:32Of course unicorns are real.
01:07:35As real as princesses.
01:07:38As real as Bigfoot.
01:07:41As real as you and me.
01:07:44Once, when I was your age, I rode one.
01:07:48I rode one, but the horn is very sharp.
01:07:52That's how I got these scars on my chin, you know?
01:08:00Fly.
01:08:03Fly.
01:08:07Fly as I sink.
01:08:27Fly as I sink.
01:08:34Fly as I sink.
01:08:36Fly as I dome.
01:08:44Fly as I sink.
01:09:09Take a walk with me
01:09:14And let's go find belief
01:09:18I wanna see the stars again
01:09:23With the wonder that I had
01:09:25At the age of ten
01:09:29So now I'm alone
01:09:33Once again
01:09:34I'm on my own
01:09:38She lost the magic
01:09:40She had for me
01:09:42In her eyes
01:09:46And we no longer
01:09:49Share the same skies
01:09:53No
01:09:54We don't
01:09:57Not at all
01:10:00Not at all
01:10:06So now I walk alone
01:10:12Once again
01:10:13I'm on my own
01:10:16She lost the magic
01:10:19She lost the magic
01:10:21She had for me
01:10:24Lost the magic
01:10:26I'm not complete
01:10:30In each one of us
01:10:32Peter Pan
01:10:35Elvis Presley
01:10:37Superman
01:10:41In each one of us
01:10:43Jacques Cousteau
01:10:45To marvel at the earth
01:10:49And the sea
01:10:50And the sea below
01:11:01In each one of us
01:11:04Peter Pan
01:11:13In each one of us
01:11:16Jacques Cousteau
01:11:18To marvel at the earth
01:11:21And the sea below
01:11:43Do you remember the first day we met?
01:11:50Let's go find
01:11:53Belief
01:11:57Belief
01:12:00Belief
01:12:05I want to see
01:12:07The stars again
01:12:14The stars again
01:12:18With the wonder that I had
01:12:22At the age of 10
01:12:33I remember lying on your chest
01:12:35And talking for hours
01:12:43And then we remembered
01:12:45We were lying on the bathroom floor
01:12:47So we had a shower again
01:13:02So I walk alone
01:13:09Once again
01:13:12I'm on my own
01:13:14She lost the magic
01:13:18She had for me
01:13:23Oh
01:13:24In her eyes
01:13:30We no longer
01:13:33Share the sky
01:13:37Oh no
01:13:41Oh no
01:13:42Not at all
01:13:54Sometimes I can't help but wonder
01:13:57Maybe we forget each other
01:13:59Every time you look away
01:14:05I see
01:14:07You are
01:14:09Beautiful
01:14:12In each one of us
01:14:15Peter Pan
01:14:19Elvis Presley
01:14:23Superman
01:14:26In each one of us
01:14:29Jacques Cousteau
01:14:33To marvel at the earth
01:14:36To marvel at the earth
01:14:37And the sea below
01:14:39Well
01:14:40I just need someone
01:14:44Who understands
01:14:47The little boy
01:14:51Inside the man
01:14:53I just need someone
01:14:57Who understands
01:15:01Part of me lives
01:15:04In our dreamland
01:15:23I remember
01:15:25I remember
01:15:27I remember
01:15:27She thought
01:15:28But I can't forget
01:15:33Once you asked
01:15:34Once you asked me
01:15:34If I had ever stood
01:15:35Naked in front of anyone
01:15:37Alone
01:15:38And out of reach
01:15:40I took off my clothes
01:15:41And backed away from you
01:15:44You simply asked me
01:15:45My middle name
01:15:46And told me
01:15:46To put my clothes
01:15:47Back on
01:15:50I am standing
01:15:51Naked and raw
01:15:52For you now
01:15:53Bella
01:15:55Not to beg forgiveness
01:15:57But to beg that you
01:15:58Find happiness
01:16:00The kind of happiness
01:16:01I could never give you
01:16:04And if you should see
01:16:06The unrecognizable me
01:16:07On the street
01:16:09Don't look down
01:16:11Don't look back
01:16:14And I will grant you
01:16:15The same respect
01:16:20Ain't you guys
01:16:20Got a home to go to?
01:16:22Yeah
01:16:24I was thinking about
01:16:25Maybe getting a wife
01:16:26Shitting out some kids
01:16:28Being an architect
01:16:30Will you marry me?
01:16:32Shut up
01:16:33You fucking drunk
01:16:35Do you ever leave the bench?
01:16:40What do they decorate you guys
01:16:41At Christmas time?
01:16:45Yes
01:16:46No
01:16:49Okay
01:16:50Well
01:16:50I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee
01:16:52If you wanna join me
01:16:59Come on
01:17:00Sweetheart
01:17:00Daddy wants some breakfast
01:17:04Loopy
01:17:11Let's do it
01:17:12Yes
01:17:21Honey
01:17:21What do you want to go?
01:17:21We didn't want to get the
01:17:21Two
01:17:22Okay
01:17:26OK
01:17:30Come on
01:17:30Take care of Mama
01:17:30You're welcome
01:17:39So, we'll see where that comes from.
01:18:14If there was one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
01:18:20One thing is all I get?
01:18:23If one is all I get, I don't want to play this.
01:18:26Pussy.
01:18:29I want to be President of the United States.
01:18:30That's right.
01:18:32That way I can declare a state anarchy.
01:18:37I want to be a movie star.
01:18:39A big fucking movie star.
01:18:42Live in a big fucking house.
01:18:45Make big fucking movies.
01:18:50I want to be the love child to sit vicious in Molly Ringwald.
01:18:57I want to sit up all night in an all-night diner and order nothing.
01:19:05I want to be God for the sole purpose of saying, I brought you into this world.
01:19:09Don't think for one minute I won't take you out.
01:19:13I want the original promise.
01:19:16I want justice for all.
01:19:19I want love, hate, ups and downs, and everything in between.
01:19:31I want the world in my palm.
01:19:33No cooler than 60 degrees, no warmer than 75, and never a cloud in the sky.
01:19:44I want the perfect kiss, the perfect imperfection, and the perfect life.
01:19:54But more than anything, I want someone who wants what I want.
01:19:59And I want her to walk through that door right over there.
01:20:03And order biscuits and gravy.
01:20:07You're a pathetic fuck.
01:20:11Thanks.
01:20:13Not you, him.
01:20:16Jesus, that was beautiful.
01:21:03Jesus, that was beautiful.
