Goodbye My Quarterback, You Never Deserved Me #ASD

Short filmTranscript
00:00This quarterback marries the bride he was born for!
00:04They're perfect together. Everyone says the wedding's been months in the making.
00:08That screen was supposed to be me. Now it belongs to her.
00:13I taught myself not to cry where the cameras can find me.
00:16So I turned my back on the cheering and walked toward a door of my own.
00:20Two weeks before that screen, I was still the one fixing everyone's seats.
00:23Fourteen days. No more slip-ups. The press notes and the vows are locked.
00:27And Zoe? She's been handling Benjamin's whole charity list.
00:30Let her do her job. She doesn't need to know who the bride is. Not until we tell her.
00:34Two names. One line. The bride was never going to be me.
00:38I just don't want her making a scene before the wedding. Benjamin promised he'd handle it.
00:43So that was my job. The thing he had to handle. Fine.
00:48Two more Murphy guests at the head table. I came to confirm the seating.
00:51Thank you for your hard work.
00:52I smiled, I confirmed the seats, and I walked out like nothing was breaking.
00:57Wife, you're still up?
01:00Did the event go well?
01:02Exhausted, but seeing you makes it all better.
01:05Sponsors are always like this. Don't worry about them. I'll handle it.
01:08Will you handle me too?
01:09I'll always protect you.
01:11Passport. Travel papers.
01:14A lawyer's card. A clean new line.
01:17Miss Hart, it's late. Is something wrong?
01:20You said the reset takes time to prepare. Start it.
01:26He brought me up here like he wanted to give me something gentle.
01:29You said you wanted to see the city lights from up here.
01:33I also told you I hate being up a mountain after dark.
01:36I've got you. Nothing reaches you while I'm here.
01:39One ring, and the warmth in his face just folded away.
01:42Baby, Ben, my stomach hurts. I don't know if it's the baby. I'm so scared.
01:46I have to go. The driver's nearby. I'll send him for you.
01:48I'll be quick. Lock the doors. Don't be afraid.
01:53No signal. No car. Just the dark he left me standing in.
01:58Don't panic.
02:00Just walk to the road. Just keep walking.
02:03Low temperature and shock. Don't try to stand up just yet.
02:08Zoe. God, I'm so sorry. I didn't know the driver never reached you.
02:12His hands were warm. His sleeves still carried her glitter.
02:16Is she okay?
02:17Mila's unstable. The doctor wants her watched. It's complicated.
02:23Am I complicated too, Benjamin?
02:25Don't say that. You're not like her.
02:29No. Not like her.
02:32And then the elevator opened, and I saw which future he was holding.
02:37Eight weeks. Stable for now. No more stress before the wedding.
02:40Ben, is the baby really okay?
02:42Yeah, I'm sure.
02:48And now there's a red mark on my hand.
02:50I took it off myself.
02:52The first thing I've taken back from him.
02:55When I win a title that's truly mine, I'll bring you out in front of everyone.
03:00You know I never cared about any of that.
03:03You're not a secret, Zoe.
03:06You're the way I come home.
03:08Where's the ring?
03:11I took it off when I washed my hands.
03:13Don't take it off. Things are messy out there. People will start guessing.
03:19So it's to protect me.
03:20Of course.
03:21They'd say we fought, that I'm not taking care of you.
03:25Then I'll keep it on.
03:30He thinks the ring fixed everything.
03:33He doesn't know I already stopped believing it.
03:36Here, he's everyone's hero.
03:38Is Mr. Carter and Miss Murphy's wedding really going to be at the home stadium?
03:44Tired? Let me get you some water.
03:47Okay.
03:52Five minutes. Ben, I only need five minutes.
03:55Don't let her blow up before the wedding.
03:56I promise you, I'll keep it steady.
03:59Keep her steady or keep yourself steady.
04:03I'm scared you'll go back to her.
04:05Don't overthink it.
04:07You'll marry me, won't you?
04:09I didn't push the door. I won't hand them my pain to watch.
04:13Do you like Carter, too?
04:16I used to like him very much.
04:22This one's the calmest, Miss Hart.
04:24Carter said don't let you ride anything wild.
04:26Easy now. Slow down.
04:28I'm right here, okay?
04:29Ben, can I try?
04:31The doctor said light activity is fine for me.
04:33Zoe gets to.
04:35I just want to be brave like her.
04:39Don't stay back from him.
04:47She made it look like courage.
04:49I should have seen the calculation under it.
04:53Ben, the baby. Ben, please.
04:56Look at me. Where does it hurt?
04:58Someone call an ambulance now.
05:00He ran past me to reach her.
05:02That was my answer, written in the mud.
05:05Miss Hart, can you stand? Take my hand.
05:08No one turned around.
05:10So I stopped waiting for them, too.
05:12I've got it. Thank you.
05:14Yesterday was my fault.
05:16I thought Mella was in real danger.
05:18She's carrying a child.
05:19I couldn't risk it.
05:20Then why would she suddenly walk straight up to that horse?
05:24She was just nervous.
05:25Maybe she wanted to prove she isn't so fragile.
05:28It's just too bright.
05:29It doesn't belong over a wound.
05:31Zoe, I already apologized.
05:32Don't twist every little thing into something dark.
05:34A gift can't cover what your eyes already chose.
05:37I let the wound stay bare.
05:38Happy birthday, wife.
05:39Make a wish.
05:40I promise.
05:41This year, I'll give you a real birthday.
05:43Anything you want.
05:44Just name it.
05:45It's name it.
05:46It's yours.
05:47Even now, half of him was already listening for her.
05:50I felt the wish change in my chest.
05:53So, what did you wish for?
05:56I wished for you to stay far away from me from me.
06:0114 days.
06:02That is all the time I gave myself to disappear from this house.
06:05I take only what cannot be traced.
06:06Everything Benjamin gave me stays behind.
06:08This coat is too heavy to carry.
06:10So is the man who gave it to me.
06:11I keep the photo.
06:12Not for him.
06:13So I never forget how easily I believed his smile.
06:16Withdrawing the full balance in cash?
06:18An amount like this, I'll need to note the purpose.
06:20One word, travel, and no one asks more.
06:23Good.
06:23Today, I cannot afford questions.
06:26Want me to activate it here for you?
06:27It takes a second.
06:28Everyone's tied to so many accounts now.
06:30Switching numbers is such a hassle these days.
06:31No need.
06:32I'll do it myself.
06:33A little hassle is exactly what I want.
06:36Old card here, new card there.
06:38Never together.
06:39If they look, they should find a dead end.
06:41Every fan is waiting for this wedding.
06:44Marrying Benjamin Carter.
06:45How does it feel?
06:46Like finally arriving at a home field that's truly ours.
06:51Old number gone.
06:53New route hidden.
06:54Keep moving.
06:55Should I turn it off?
06:57Leave it.
06:58The men at the door watch the screen when she's on it.
07:00Try it on.
07:01You've got a few internal events on the wedding day.
07:03And why would I go?
07:05Because you're my family.
07:06It's chaos out there.
07:07I don't want you home alone spinning out.
07:10Are they family too?
07:11They're just protecting you.
07:12The press has gone insane before the wedding.
07:14Stay inside.
07:15A wedding dress on my door.
07:17And two men at the gate.
07:18He calls it protection.
07:20Out there, one garden lamp is broken.
07:23That patch of dark is my way out.
07:27Wedding morning.
07:28No signal.
07:29No calls out.
07:30He sealed me in like luggage.
07:32I stopped begging the phone.
07:33I started reading the doors instead.
07:35Indoor signal jammers on.
07:36Mr. Carter says no stranger numbers get near her today.
07:39What about the second floor windows?
07:40The side garden's dead.
07:41Just hedges and a broken fountain.
07:42I didn't pack to run.
07:44I packed to leave.
07:46New ISM.
07:46Cash.
07:47One ticket out.
07:48No screaming.
07:50No begging.
07:51I'd give everything back.
07:52Piece by piece.
07:54May your wedding go well.
07:56The key card opened his home.
07:58His gates.
07:59His whole world.
08:00I left it under the note.
08:05The window bit my arm open.
08:07I didn't make a sound.
08:09Pain was cheaper than asking him to unlock a door.
08:12This time the side door wasn't his choice.
08:14It was mine.
08:15I wasn't supposed to be here.
08:16But the screen dragged the whole city into our wedding.
08:21Let's celebrate Benjamin Carter and Mila Murphy.
08:24A brand new beginning witnessed right here at home.
08:26Huge wedding.
08:27The Carters really know how to put on a show.
08:30I heard some woman tried to make a scene.
08:32It got shut down fast.
08:33They turned my engagement into his public wedding.
08:35I let them keep the show and took myself out of it.
08:38Passengers for Anuala.
08:39Please prepare to board at this time.
08:42Did you catch that stadium wedding?
08:44Bride's pregnant.
08:45No wonder they rushed it.
08:46Online they say some bitter ex tried to wreck the wedding.
08:48So pathetic.
08:49People like that should just disappear.
08:52Have a safe life.
08:53Three years ago he hid me in a staff hall and promised I'd stop using side doors.
08:57I'm still leaving by the side.
08:58This time the door is mine.
09:00I didn't turn around to tell them who I was.
09:02I'd already vanished further than they could imagine.
09:07The whole stadium is cheering for us.
09:09And I'm the only one who can't hear a single sound of it.
09:13Mr. Carter, you may now kiss your bride.
09:16Ben, the cameras are rolling.
09:17I touch her forehead like a husband should.
09:20But everything inside me has already walked off this field.
09:24No one's answering at the house.
09:25They said she's resting upstairs but nobody saw her come down.
09:28You can't leave now.
09:30I'm already too late.
09:32Zoe?
09:32Her passport, her pills, her book, all gone.
09:36She even left the pen she used to fix my words.
09:38Will you deal with me?
09:39She once asked.
09:40Tonight the empty house answered for her.
09:43She didn't keep anything I gave her.
09:45Everything is back in this box.
09:48Exactly the way I handed it to her.
09:50No plea.
09:51No blame.
09:52She just gave it all back.
09:53Find her.
09:55Rule number four.
09:56Not the airport.
09:57South side of the city.
10:00I've sent someone over.
10:02Ben, don't rush.
10:02It might just be a device lag.
10:04He's chasing one faint signal across the city.
10:07She gave everything back and walked out of his life on her own.
10:11Can one weak signal really bring her back?
10:16The tracker pig's somewhere right around here.
10:19Zoe?
10:20Zoe, are you out here?
10:24That's her old sim.
10:25She snapped it and dumped it here.
10:27Benjamin, where are you?
10:28The Murphigs are pushing hard.
10:30The wedding photos are everywhere.
10:31Get back and release a statement.
10:33Do you even know Zoe is gone?
10:35She's an adult.
10:36She'll come back.
10:37What matters is the press not saying you abandoned your bride.
10:40The one I abandoned wasn't her.
10:41Mila is still crying.
10:43The Murphys want answers.
10:45When Zoe walked out, did any of you give her answers?
10:48I'm wearing it now.
10:50I found where the wedding spear started.
10:52The payment chain runs through two layers, but it ends at Mila's private assistant.
10:56Say that again.
10:57Mila paid to feed Zoe's name and your past to the gossip accounts.
11:01She wanted Zoe cut off before the wedding.
11:04Ben, you're finally taking my calls.
11:06I'm scared everyone's blaming me.
11:08You wanted to implant her Zoe.
11:09You paid them to attack Zoe.
11:10Are you the scared then?
11:14Kill those clinic photos.
11:15Tell them it's pregnancy fatigue, not a scandal.
11:18He knows.
11:19He knows about the trending posts about Zoe.
11:22You just remember one thing.
11:24You carry his child.
11:26He won't destroy his own air in front of everyone.
11:29The payment left Mila's assistant account bounced through two layers,
11:32landed in the gossip studio the morning of the wedding.
11:34This is the Murphy house, not your locker room.
11:36You bring these men in, the team burns with us tomorrow.
11:39The media needs a story.
11:40You need a wedding.
11:41Zoe's already gone.
11:42Blow it all up and she still won't come back.
11:44She won't come back.
11:45That's exactly why you don't get to act like nothing happened.
11:48Ben, I was just scared.
11:50Scared you'd choose her.
11:52I carry your baby.
11:54I couldn't let her ruin us.
11:57You promised you'd protect me.
11:59You said everything would be fine after the wedding.
12:02I've said a lot of wrong things.
12:03Benjamin, enough!
12:05For someone who walked away, you'd destroy your unborn child?
12:07If that child isn't the future Zoe wanted, it means nothing to what I'm chasing back now.
12:11I lost my mind long ago.
12:12I just learned today I lost it in the wrong direction.
12:14You can't take her!
12:16The Merkins won't let you walk away from this!
12:19Ben, I'll die.
12:20Without this baby, I have nothing.
12:23When you all shoved Zoe in front of the whole world, she had nothing either.
12:29You're not this kind of man.
12:31I am.
12:32I just used to aim this cruelty at Zoe.
12:35Carter, you know what you're doing?
12:37Without the Murphys, what's left of your team, your foundation, your wedding?
12:40I don't have much left to lose.
12:42The press made the plates, the team already knows.
12:45Baby, mom's right here!
12:46Open the door!
12:49What poison did Zoe feed you?
12:51She left, she abandoned you!
12:52She didn't abandon me.
12:54She finally escaped.
12:55It's done.
12:56She needs rest now.
13:00Are you satisfied now?
13:01No.
13:02Then what is it you want?
13:03I want to go back to before you all drove her away.
13:05You can't.
13:07I know.
13:08The owner wants you at his suite.
13:09Sponsors are pulling out.
13:10The Merkins are talking.
13:12You need to give them one public statement.
13:14Not one.
13:17I'm going to say Zoe's name.
13:19Even if you do, she may never hear it.
13:21Then at least stop letting them only hear the lie.
13:28We need stability.
13:30Call the clinic a private medical mix-up, keep the wedding under watch, and the Morgans will
13:34issue a joint statement.
13:37There was no mix-up.
13:38Mr. Carter, the brand damage is already out of control.
13:40We weigh every word now.
13:42I've been careful for three years.
13:43Think clearly.
13:44The second you say it, every reporter will remember Zoe's name.
13:49They've already cursed her.
13:50At least this time, let them know who she really is.
13:55Mr. Carter, did you walk out on the wedding to handle your fiancé's medical crisis?
13:59I'll say one thing today.
14:01Zoe Hart is no ex-lover, no troublemaker, no third party in any wedding scandal.
14:05She's the partner I hid for three years.
14:08She cared for me, supported me.
14:10So you admit you stayed involved with Zoe Hart during the Murphy wedding?
14:13I admit I hurt her.
14:14I admit I left her alone to bear the humiliation when I should have protected her most.
14:18Mrs. Murphy, Carter just admitted Zoe Hart is his longtime partner.
14:21Did the wedding day leak about Zoe come from you?
14:23I don't know.
14:24I was very unwell back then.
14:26I knew nothing.
14:26Sources say the payment account belongs to your private assistant.
14:29I just wanted her gone.
14:31I never thought they'd curse her like that.
14:33This time, I didn't call her name.
14:36I just stood there, waiting for a voice that wasn't coming.
14:41I said it out loud.
14:47Used to say I cook noodles like I'm running a play.
14:50Everything on a clock.
14:52No clock tonight.
14:54Easy on the scallions, I remembered.
14:57No one praised the noodles.
14:59No one said they were too salty.
15:01He just sat there.
15:02Time didn't fix him.
15:04He sat until morning.
15:05Both bowls had gone cold.
15:10I said it, Zoe.
15:12I told them all who you really are.
15:15That's good.
15:16I hope your wedding goes well.
15:18The other side of the bed was empty.
15:20The pillow held no shape of her at all.
15:22The alarm reminded him the team meeting started in 20 minutes.
15:25He didn't move.
15:26He sat there a long time, until the alarm gave up on him.
15:31Ben, what's your read on this pocket protection?
15:33I'll look at it.
15:35You haven't finished a training report in two weeks.
15:37You say that every single time.
15:39The bowls in the empty house always went cold.
15:42Under the white lights, his throws were always a beat too slow.
15:46The playbook stayed open to the same page.
15:48The ring swinging in his damp collar.
15:51Time hadn't healed him.
15:52It had only worn the breakdown down into numbness.
15:56Oahu, a small inn.
15:58She's been working there at least three months.
16:00Is she safe?
16:01Looks safe.
16:02Also looks like she doesn't want to be found.
16:05Where are you going?
16:06Ben, think it through.
16:07She has her own life now.
16:08That's exactly why I'll go in on her toes.
16:15Sweetheart, that window upstairs is jammed again.
16:18I'll move you to a sea view room, and I'll fix that window this afternoon.
16:22Your boss really ought to give you a raise.
16:24Here, no one calls me the woman beside Mr. Carter.
16:28They just know I fix windows.
16:30Zoe.
16:31Checking in?
16:32I want to talk to you.
16:33I'm off at two.
16:34You can wait, or you can go.
16:36I'll wait.
16:38I went public.
16:39I said Zoe Hart is my partner of three years, and made Mila admit it.
16:43A guest mentioned it.
16:45It wasn't for the cameras.
16:46You did it for yourself.
16:48Good for you, Benjamin.
16:49Now you don't have to face your own lie every day.
16:51I just wanted to pay back a little of it for you.
16:54You said it after I'd already left that house.
16:57Words can't ride that mountain road for me.
16:59That's your conscience cutting its losses, not my compensation.
17:02Can I stay one night?
17:03Sea view rooms are full.
17:05Only one left.
17:06Second floor by the parking lot.
17:08Okay.
17:08Quiet after ten.
17:09Kitchens closed to guests.
17:11Staff areas are off limits.
17:13Delivery trucks run by the lot at night.
17:15If it's too loud, you can check out.
17:16I don't mind.
17:21New life out here isn't a fairy tale.
17:23It's late shifts and dark alleys.
17:26Hey, front desk girl.
17:27Still working this late?
17:30Kitchens closed.
17:31If you need help, go back to the front desk.
17:33Don't be so cold.
17:34We just wanted to thank you for switching our room today.
17:38Back off.
17:39Come on.
17:41In girls like you just earn tips by being nice to guests, right?
17:47One more step and I call the police.
17:49The police?
17:50You think your boss would like that?
17:52He came.
17:54But he didn't reach for me first this time.
18:00Stay out of this!
18:12Walk away.
18:13Now.
18:16Don't collapse in my doorway.
18:18I have to clean these steps tomorrow.
18:20Come in.
18:21Treat the wound.
18:22Then go back to your own room.
18:26Hold this.
18:27Don't drip blood near the prep area or my boss yells at me.
18:30Your boss sounds scarier than the team owner.
18:32At least he knows to mop the floor after he apologizes.
18:35Don't get this wrong.
18:36Doing the right thing tonight doesn't undo what happened before.
18:41This will sting.
18:43It's fine.
18:44Tilt your head down.
18:47You used to patch me up just like this.
18:50Back then I'd ask if it hurt.
18:52Now I just make sure it stops bleeding.
18:55I'm not hungry.
18:56You lost blood.
18:57Drink it.
18:58Don't pass out in my kitchen.
18:59I'm changing.
19:00I know it's late, but I really am.
19:02If you got better, that's just what you should do.
19:04Not a gift.
19:05Not payback.
19:06Not a ticket back through my door.
19:07I just want to make it up to you.
19:09Making it up isn't handing me a fixed up Benjamin to infect and sign off on.
19:12You were good to me, and you hurt me.
19:15Both are real.
19:16They don't cancel off.
19:17You can get better.
19:18Just don't treat me like a prize.
19:19Take it back.
19:20Change the dressing yourself tomorrow morning.
19:23Oh my gosh, is this a proposal?
19:26I just wanted to thank you for last night.
19:28You can just say thank you.
19:32Zoe.
19:37Did she really just throw them away?
19:41This is not a proposal.
19:42And it's not of us getting back together.
19:45Please stop filming.
19:46Thank you for last night.
19:47But the flowers aren't right.
19:50I understand.
19:52You said you understood last time, too.
19:54I just wanted to give you something good.
19:56When you give me something good, it usually comes with an audience.
19:58The ring had no audience, so later you could deny it.
20:00The wedding had one, so you told me to stay away.
20:02Now there's an audience for the flowers, too.
20:03So if I refuse, I look like the cruel one.
20:05We have no future, Benjamin.
20:06Remember that.
20:06It helps more than flowers.
20:10The crushed flowers, the wet paper, the coffee cup.
20:15It was uglier than any wedding arch, and far more honest.
20:19None of it was broken.
20:20None of it was thrown back in anger.
20:22Returned this calmly, it felt more like a line I could never cross.
20:25Some people don't refuse kindness.
20:27They just don't want it from you.
20:29I know.
20:30For the first time, he didn't write her name on it.
20:35If you keep doing this, the guests will think I'm being followed.
20:38Sorry, I just wanted to make sure you got back safe.
20:40Do you remember?
20:41Before your first championship, you said when the season ended, you'd take me to CD the ocean.
20:44Back then, I'd never seen a real ocean.
20:46Then you kept saying next, next sea was axe, next sea was off-season.
20:49Until I came here on my own.
20:50So when you ask me to give you a chance now, I'm confused.
20:54Benjamin, you've already had so many.
20:57He finally understood.
20:58This wasn't a backdrop for reunion.
21:00It was the place she'd reached alone.
21:02The place he'd been absent too long to ever lead her to.
21:07He used to close every distance with money.
21:10Now one step is all the right he has left.
21:12If I wasted every chance before, then what about now?
21:16I'm not asking for forgiveness.
21:18Just one chance.
21:19Played by your rules.
21:21Starting from which time?
21:22Exactly.
21:24From the mountain road or the maternity board?
21:26From the ring back on my hand or the night I climbed out the window?
21:30Zoe!
21:31You say give me one now, but back then, I kept giving you all of mine.
21:36You knew I'm afraid of the dark.
21:37You still walked away that night.
21:39That was one chance.
21:40I never refused you chances.
21:42Zoe's not working today.
21:44She took a few days off.
21:46Where did she go?
21:47I'm sorry.
21:48We can't share a staff person's private schedule.
21:51I just want to know she's safe.
21:52If she needs help, she'll reach out to us.
21:54She didn't need me to confirm she was safe anymore.
21:57Her old number was dead.
21:58The new one?
21:59I had no right to know.
22:00I don't know where she is, when she'll be back, or if she'll think of me.
22:04Tonight, I just have to sit with not knowing.
22:09I know you told me to drop it, but a travel desk confirmed she switched hotels.
22:13I'm sending the address.
22:14Ben, this isn't healthy.
22:15A few days gone doesn't mean she's in danger.
22:17You're allowed to not know where she is.
22:19Really.
22:20If you go now, you're not saving her.
22:22You're saving yourself from not being able to stand the loss of control.
22:24The room key stayed on the table.
22:27A choice he left behind.
22:29This neutral lobby wasn't his.
22:31And waiting here was already a mistake.
22:34Sir, would you like a room?
22:36I'm waiting for someone.
22:37If the guest prefers not to be disturbed, we'll have to ask you to leave.
22:41She wasn't a missing person in some story.
22:44She just hadn't handed him her schedule.
22:47So you tracked me after all.
22:48I know I shouldn't be here, but I keep thinking, if we start it over, I don't dare ask you
22:54to
22:54wear it.
22:54I just want you to know that promise wasn't fake.
22:57It was real.
22:58That's why it hurts more.
22:59Fake things break and don't matter.
23:01You turned something real into a cage.
23:03I won't deny I was happy.
23:05That's how I know every time you hid me after wasn't a mistake.
23:08Benjamin, the start was never a ticket.
23:10You can't carry it back to make me open the door.
23:12What else can I do?
23:15Stop treating chasing me down as your way to atone.
23:18Keep the ring.
23:20Don't bring it to me again.
23:24Seven months.
23:25I stopped going to her inn.
23:27I stopped chasing her.
23:28I just never started living again.
23:30The city was waiting.
23:32I just had nothing left to bring back to it.
23:34Mom, is that Benjamin Carter?
23:37They still knew my name.
23:39None of them came closer.
23:40I came home a name.
23:43Not a man.
23:46Ben, run it again.
23:49No one booed.
23:51The silence was worse.
23:53You can't take the field like this.
23:54Yeah.
23:55You planning to starve yourself in here?
23:56Door wasn't locked.
23:59You won't even lock a door anymore.
24:01She told you to stop chasing.
24:03Not to stop living.
24:06I don't know how to live.
24:08Then learn to train tomorrow.
24:10Learn to eat.
24:11Stop dragging the whole team into your grave.
24:13They're not your backdrop for guilt.
24:15What you owe her isn't wrecking yourself for her to see.
24:18You owe her never burying anyone's life in your moods again.
24:21First page.
24:22Read it out loud.
24:24Weak side protection.
24:26Second tempo delay.
24:27This is training, not comfort.
24:32Training was over.
24:34He thought the worst night of his life was already behind him.
24:38Mila.
24:39You finally look like a person again.
24:41And me?
24:41No baby.
24:42No wedding.
24:43No family left to want me.
24:45Get out of the car.
24:46We'll call the police.
24:47I could see her hands shaking on the wheel.
24:49What I couldn't see was any reason for her to stop.
24:54You destroyed me.
24:56And now you want to do it by the book?
25:01Mila, don't!
25:04For the first time, his body didn't obey just because his name was Benjamin Carter.
25:09Stop the car!
25:11Stop!
25:12It's all her!
25:14Without Zoe, you'd have married me!
25:16I'd have had everything!
25:18The leg needs to be immobilized, and there's an old shoulder injury layered on top.
25:22No competition short term, and no long flights.
25:25You heard him.
25:26No flying.
25:27Her birthday's tomorrow.
25:29You can't even stand right now.
25:32I know.
25:34I'm not going, so she'll take care of me.
25:36I'm going because I remember.
25:37Book a flight to Ohahu, and a small cake.
25:40She hates crowds watching.
25:42The doctor won't allow this.
25:44You can wheel me to the gate.
25:45You're insane!
25:46This time, I just bring a birthday wish.
25:48I won't ask her back, won't mention the ring, won't tell her I'm hurt.
25:52And if she tells you to leave, then I leave.
25:58This year, I'm not waiting for anyone to remember.
26:03Happy birthday, Zoe.
26:08Is it your birthday today?
26:11It is.
26:12Then take a little birthday luck.
26:18Happy birthday, Zoe.
26:20You shouldn't have flown.
26:22The doctor said the same.
26:24Then why did you come?
26:26I always missed your birthdays before.
26:27I just wanted to bring the wish.
26:28You don't have to take me back.
26:31Let me cut it for you.
26:32No need.
26:33This isn't our cake.
26:34I'm sorry.
26:35Don't apologize.
26:36Just remember it.
26:37I already have my cake today.
26:39I love you.
26:40Saying it now might only tire you.
26:42I know you once loved me.
26:44I loved you too.
26:45That was real.
26:46The field.
26:47The kitchen.
26:48All those tender nights.
26:49But the mountain road was real too.
26:51The wedding.
26:52Leaving alone.
26:53You can't keep only the good part.
26:54I understand.
26:56So I won't come back to you.
26:58Not to punish you.
26:59I just won't be the one who gets sacrificed again.
27:01I won't stand in your way anymore.
27:05This is my bench.
27:07My sea.
27:08My birthday.
27:09Finally.
27:10All my own.
