It's good,

I can't feel my fingers.

Thank you.

Hey, I have this theory.

Mmm-hmm.
-
That a girl's guaranteed to get
preggers if she does it in a car.
-
What?
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
I have a theory, too.
My theory is about moments.
-
Moments of impact.
-
My theory is that
these moments of impact,
-
these flashes of high intensity
-
that completely turn
our lives upside down,
-
actually end up
defining who we are.
-
Thanks.
-
Next in line.
-
One of my absolute
favorite moments.
-
Oh!
-
You forgot your permit.
-
Yeah. Well, I just sort of come
here to enjoy the two-hour line.
-
The permit's sort of a bonus.
-
The Art Institute.
-
You work there?
-
No, I'm a student.
-
I'm Paige.
-
I'm sorry. I'm Leo.
-
Well, thank you for this, Leo.
-
You know what, I noticed, in a
totally non-threatening way,
-
we have the same RPP zone.
-
Is that right?
-
Yup.
-
Hmm.
-
You have impressive
powers of observation.
-
Yes.
-
What's an RPP zone?
-
Residential
permit parking zone.
-
Oh.
-
That sounds intimate.
-
Yeah.
-
Okay.
-
What I was thinking is that...
-
I think we owe it
to ourselves, really,
-
to maybe get a drink,
-
out of respect for our
zone compatibility and all.
-
Okay.
Okay?
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
All right, okay.
-
After you.
-
Pick a hand. Pick a hand.
Pick a hand.
-
That one.
Here we go.
-
Mmm.
Mmm.

This is good.

God, I'm so in love
with you, it's insane.
-
As you know,
your wife's CTscan
-
showed
intracranial hemorrhaging.
-
We purposely keep patients
with traumatic brain injuries
-
in a comatose state in order
to calm their systems
-
and allow the brain time to heal
itself while the swelling subsides.
-
And then we slowly
wean them off it. Now...
-
The thing is, each one
of us is the sum total of
-
every moment that
we've ever experienced,
-
with all the people
we've ever known.
-
And it's these moments
that become our history.
-
Like our own personal greatest
hits of memories that we play
-
and replay in our minds
over and over again.
-
Aren't you hungry?
-
Hey.
Hi.
-
What you doing?
Nothing.
-
Really?
No.
-
What's that?
Nothing.
-
Oh, nothing?
Food's ready.
-
Look, if you keep
feeding that fleabag,
-
it's gonna keep coming
back and I'm allergic.
-
Like you claim to be
allergic to cilantro?
-
I can't stand cilantro.
-
Exactly.
But you're not allergic.
-
Does anybody want strawberries I
bought at the farmers' market?
-
Buying groceries, bad sign.
-
What?
-
And we all know
what that means.
-
I like her.
-
She's like our mascot.
-
Thanks, I think.
-
I would rather have her than that
ferret you tried to make us adopt.
-
And she makes great coffee.
Let's keep her.
-
Thank you.
-
- Have some.
- Thank you.
-
"Movie"? I think you
spelled "movie" wrong.
-
No.
-
Told you.
-
Yes.
Mmm-hmm.
-
I vow to help you love life,
-
to always hold you
with tenderness,
-
and to have the patience
that love demands.
-
To speak when words are needed
-
and to share the silence
when they're not.
-
To agree to disagree
on red velvet cake.
-
And to live within
the warmth of your heart
-
and always call it home.
-
Wow, you set the bar
kind of high.
-
Did you write
your vows on a menu?
-
Yeah. Why?
-
I vow to fiercely love you
-
in all your forms,
now and forever.
-
I promise to never forget that
this is a once-in-a-lifetime love.
-
And to always know in the
deepest part of my soul
-
that no matter what challenges
might carry us apart,

that we'll always find the

Do you take each other

-
I do.
-
I do.

It's...

I don't...

Oh, my God.
-
You're gonna be fine.
-
Oh, my God. I'm gonna
have to call them.
-
I'm gonna have to call them
-
and tell them
that I can't do it.
-
Come to bed with me.
-
Come on. I know you wanna
come to bed with me.
-
Don't!
-
Oh, no, please, no.
-
Stop it!
-
Okay, okay, okay.
-
I think this one's
coming along fine.
-
I mean,
I know it's not finished,
-
but I'm already starting
to see a mood.
-
It's got like a darkening
curtain thing happening there,
-
and then a competing
light element, there.
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
It's abstract, but,
I mean, I don't know,
-
I kind of think
it's already powerful.
-
What?
-
You totally love me.
-
Yeah, I do.
Yeah.
-
I know because
this is my piece,
-
and that's the scrap pile,
-
which I'm now saving.
-
Hmm.
-
A moment of total physical,
mental, and every other kind of love.
-
Don't crowd her.
-
She's gonna be a little groggy,
-
so let's just
give her some space.
-
Hey.
-
It's so good to see you.
-
Paige?
-
It's okay.
You're in the hospital.
-
You were in a car accident.
-
You hit your head,
but you're okay.
-
We just kept you asleep
for a little while.
-
How do you feel?
-
My head hurts.
-
Yeah, well,
that's perfectly normal.
-
I'll get you
something for that.
-
Was anyone else hurt, Doctor?
-
Uh...
-
Paige,
you know who I am, right?
-
Yeah. You're my doctor.
-
Um...
-
I'm your husband.
-
Paige?
-
Mr. Collins?
You said things were very good.
-
A brain injury isn't like a
broken bone or a laceration.
-
Brains are
much less predictable.
-
Sometimes, due to the way the swelling
tissue presses against the skull,
-
it can cause some impairment.
-
Some impairment?
-
She doesn't remember me.
-
Even though she's awake,
the swelling
-
can cause confusion
or memory loss,
-
erratic mood swings.
-
What?
But that's normal.
-
So, that's my theory.
-
That these moments of impact
define who we are.
-
But what I never considered
-
was what if, one day, you could
no longer remember any of them?
-
Hi.
-
What are you up to?
-
Sleeping.
-
Right.
-
I brought you some clothes.
-
Thank you.
-
I'm kind of hungry.
-
Okay.
-
Come on.
-
So, I just wanted to verify a
few things with you about me,
-
about us.
-
Great.
So, we're married?
-
Yes.
Yeah.
-
And I have weird hair.
-
I think that's
taking a narrow view.
-
You said it takes
too long to straighten
-
and you'd rather use that
time to work in your studio.
-
My studio?
Why do I have a studio?
-
You're an artist.
-
Sculptor.
A really good one.
-
Right now, you're
working on four pieces
-
for the Tribune Tower lobby,
-
which is huge.
-
Everyone in town
wanted that commission.
-
But your show at the MCA's
12 x 12 was amazing,
-
so you won it.
-
What about my law degree?
-
I don't have a law degree?
-
I think you were
-
a few credits shy.
-
Last time I wanted
to be an artist,
-
I was in high school.
-
I think you need to
look at it like a win.
-
Traumatic brain injury is a win?
You're an idiot.
-
If she doesn't
remember who you are,
-
then she doesn't remember all
the stupid shit you ever did.
-
You can start over,
wipe the slate clean.
-
I'm just worried if
she doesn't remember you,
-
how's she going to remember
she's in love with you? What?
-
I was frankly a little stunned
-
she went for you
the first time.
-
If anything, you've
become less attractive.
-
You guys are
a great support system.
-
Seriously, though.
-
What if she doesn't
remember me?
-
Then what?
-
She's gonna remember you.
-
She's gonna remember all of us.
-
We're her family.
-
Yeah, you're right.
-
Excuse me. I'm looking
for my wife, Paige Collins.
-
She was right
over here yesterday.
-
Well, it looks like they moved
her up to the VIP floor.
-
That sounds expensive.
It's a donor's wing.
-
Just go down here
and take the elevator
-
to the second floor
and make a right.
-
Okay. Thanks.
-
Paige, your long-term
memory recall is intact
-
and I'm very optimistic the rest of your
memory is going to improve with time.
-
Mr. Collins,
I'm so glad you're here.
-
This is bizarre.
I'm Leo, Paige's husband.
-
Do you know how disconcerting
it was to hear second-hand
-
that my daughter had been
in the ICU for weeks
-
and we hadn't been told?
-
You should have called us.
-
I'm sorry.
-
You've never met my parents?
-
I don't understand.
Why haven't you met him?
-
So, Doctor, now what
is the next step?
-
The sooner she settles
back into her life,
-
her normal routine, the better.
-
Starting in a week or so,
I'm gonna recommend
-
that Paige see
a neural psychologist.
-
- Okay.
- Whatever she needs.
-
Therapy, specialists,
-
I'll make sure
she gets the best.
-
You'll come home where I
can take care of you.
-
Mom can make up
your old room,
-
and I can take
some time off work.
-
I don't mean to
be disrespectful,
-
'cause we really
appreciate that,
-
but you just heard
Paige's doctor say
-
that she needs to go back
to her normal routine.
-
Her life with me is
her normal routine.
-
Yes, but that's a life
she doesn't remember.
-
She will.
-
That's what her doctor
just got through saying.
-
No. What she said was that
maybe Paige will remember.
-
Now, why not
let her come home
-
and recover with
people that she knows?
-
And loves?
-
We're only trying to
do the best for Paige.
-
That's interesting, 'cause you
haven't even asked her once.
-
Well, no, but...
What I really need is for everyone
-
to just stop bickering!
-
Listen, none of this
needs to be decided right now.
-
No. Sorry.
-
I think you should
all head home, get some rest.
-
I'm sure everyone could use it.
-
How is it that
you're my husband
-
and you've never met my family?
-
You haven't spoken
to them in years.
-
Why would I ever stop
speaking to my family?
-
It all went down before we met.
-
And we never talked about it?
-
No, we did.
-
So?
-
For starters, you wanted
to move into the city
-
and go to the Art Institute.
-
And your father insisted
that you stay in law school.
-
He had some pretty strict views
-
on what you ought to be doing.
-
Things just
spiraled from there.
-
Okay. Look, what I remember
is being in law school
-
and being engaged to Jeremy.
-
I... I don't know.
-
Paige.
-
Okay, babe, babe, just, just...
-
The best thing to do
at this point
-
is to go back
to your life with me.
-
You heard what the doctor said.
-
It's the best thing
for your recovery.
-
Okay, but I don't know you.
-
And I'm just supposed
to get in your car
-
and go and live at your place?
-
It's our place.
-
Without any proof of us
even being in love?
-
Other than our marriage?
-
People get married for all
kinds of different reasons.
-
Okay. Like?
-
Like for a green card.
-
I'm from Cincinnati.
-
Did I keep a journal?
-
No, not that I know of.
-
I guess this is
all he could find.
-
Oh, well.
It looks fine, honey.
-
I mean, we're
just going home, so...
-
It's horrible...
Paige?
-
I understand you're
finally leaving us.
-
Oh, yes, that's
what they tell me.
-
So, no driving until
I give you the say-so.
-
But other than that, I'm gonna
see you in four to six weeks.
-
All right?
Thank you so much.
-
- Thank you, Doctor, for everything.
- Thank you, Doctor.
-
Okay.
You ready? Let's go.
-
Wait, hold on.
I got a voicemail.
-
It's from before the accident.
-
You said you wanted evidence.
-
Okay, yeah.
Well, let's have a listen.
-
Hey, baby.
-
Ugh. I'm sorry,
I'm still at my studio.
-
I miss you so bad my
sculptures are starting to look like you.
-
So, what are you doing later?
-
I kind of need some Leo time,
if you know what I mean.
-
Yeah. Anyway, call me back.
-
Love you.
-
I don't know, I guess
in listening back to it,
-
it doesn't
exactly prove anything.
-
No, no, it's...
-
It's cute.
I mean, I sound happy.
-
Okay, look.
Think about it.
-
You quit law school,
you broke off your engagement
-
and you moved into the city.
-
Those were all
choices that you made,
-
way before you even met me.
-
I think that
you owe it to yourself
-
to honor those decisions,
at least for right now.
-
This is a mistake, Paige.
-
I promise that
I will take care of her.
-
Please, come home with me.
Come home with me.
-
We'll figure this out together.
-
I guess I could just try it out
-
to see if it would
help my memory and...
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
I could always come home
if I change my mind.
-
I married him. It must
have been for some reason.
-
A guarded endorsement.
-
But I will take it.
-
I look like a freak.
-
I think you look great.
-
Where do we live?
-
On the north side.
-
Who's the president?
-
Of the country?
Yeah.
-
Obama.
-
The senator?
-
Yeah. You voted for him.
-
I did?
-
Welcome home.
-
After you.
-
Surprise!
-
Uh...
-
It's good to see you.
-
We were there every day
at the hospital,
-
but Leo didn't want us
to overwhelm you.
-
Yeah. They were.
Every day.
-
We really missed you.
-
I gather we're close?
-
I'm Sonia. And this
is my boyfriend Kyle.
-
Hey, Paige.
-
And this is Jim.
-
You look great, Paige.
-
And Lily.
-
Hey. What, were you, like,
working out at the hospital?
-
- Hey, Paige.
- And Josh.
-
I... Sorry, I... Excuse me.
-
Thank you all for coming.
I'm sorry it ended early.
-
It's all right.
Take care, Leo.
-
Are you okay?
-
What do you think?
-
I know. It's a lot to take in.
-
No.
-
A lot to take in
would've been coming home,
-
to a strange apartment,
with a man I don't know.
-
That would be a lot to take in.
-
But coming home to all of that,
-
plus a house full of people
-
pulling on me, and hugging
me, and crying in my face,
-
and talking about more shit
that I don't remember,
-
that's not a lot to take in,
that's total bullshit.
-
You're right.
-
It was only supposed
to be a few people.
-
Will you please just get out?
-
Paige, I'm sorry.
-
Are you honestly not
gonna leave me alone?
-
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-
Of course.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Oh.
-
Oh, my God.
Oh, my mother's gonna kill me.
-
Good morning.
Good morning.
-
What?
You didn't knock!
-
It's habit. I'm sorry.
-
It's not like you haven't
seen it before. Come on.
-
This is not funny.
You should knock.
-
I'm sorry.
-
You look nice.
-
Really?
-
This is about the only piece of my
clothing I feel comfortable in.
-
That's mine, actually.
-
Oh.
-
No, it's fine.
-
What?
Huh?
-
You're looking at me like I'm
some kind of zoo animal.
-
Sorry, I don't know.
I'm just trying
-
to figure this out,
too, I guess.
-
You normally do all this?
-
This is my apology
for last night.
-
That was such a bonehead move.
I just wasn't thinking.
-
No, please.
I'm sorry. I...
-
I don't want you to
worry about me, okay?
-
Just go about your
normal routine and...
-
Do you work?
Do you have a job?
-
Yeah. Well, that's
if I'm still in business.
-
I own a recording studio.
-
Hmm. Cool.
-
So, what is my routine?
What do I do all day?
-
Well...
-
You usually get up
and make coffee.
-
All right. No, no, no.
I got it, I got it, I got it.
-
I did it this morning, I think.
-
And then you... Oh, no, don't.
That one's for me.
-
You don't eat meat.
-
Oh.
-
Then you check e-mails
and pay bills.
-
Okay.
-
Which I'm betting that you don't
remember any of the passwords
-
or account numbers, huh?
Mmm-mmm.
-
So, I guess I'll do that.
-
Okay.
-
And then you go down
to your studio.
-
I could take you down there,
show you what you're working on.
-
You know what? We don't have to
rehash everything right now.
-
I mean, just...
-
You go to work, and we can make
-
flashcards later, or something.
-
Are you sure?
-
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
-
Okay. Well, your, look...
-
You got keys, phone here.
-
If you need me, all my
numbers are on there.
-
Okay.
Okay.
-
All right.
Yup.
-
Have a good day.
-
What's up, Lil?
Hey.
-
Fill me in.
-
That guy, Pointy Shoes?
He's a really bad kisser.
-
I don't think I'm gonna
keep him in rotation.
-
Okay.
-
Honestly, though,
it's actually been hell.
-
Yesterday, we were
somehow double-booked.
-
Too many clients,
that's a high-class problem.
-
Yeah, but with only one studio,
-
it's pretty impossible
to take on both gigs.
-
Right? So, Dune Advertising
weren't flexible
-
and they rebooked
over at Soundspace.
-
Wait? What? Come on.
That's a big account.
-
They should always
be prioritized.
-
You know that.
-
Yeah. Look...
-
I can't run the sessions and
handle account services, right?
-
This isn't
a one-woman operation.
-
It's not like
I flaked or something.
-
I know, I get it.
I'm not mad.
-
I'm just... I'm just
saying shit's slipping.
-
Well, I'm here now.
-
How's she doing?
-
She's getting there.
-
She's...
-
Look, thanks.
-
It'll be fine.
-
Okay. Good.
-
So, you'll be
at the 3:30 pitch?
-
Of course.
-
I'm going to head home, then
change, and check on Paige,
-
but I'll be there.
Okay.
-
I vow to help you love life,
-
to always hold you
with tenderness,
-
and to have the patience
that love demands.
-
To speak when words are needed
-
and to share the silence
when they're not.
-
To agree to disagree
on red velvet cake.
-
And to live within
the warmth of your heart
-
and always call it home.
-
Did you write
your vows on a menu?
-
Weird.
-
I vow
to fiercely love you
-
in all your forms,
now and forever.
-
I promise to never forget that
this is a once-in-a-lifetime love.
-
And to always know in the
deepest part of my soul,
-
no matter what challenges
might carry us apart,
-
that we'll always find the
way back to each other.
-
- Oh, hi.
- Hi.
-
Could I have a...
-
One of these?
-
You don't want the usual?
-
I have a usual?
-
That would be perfect.
I'll have the usual.
-
All right.
-
Here you go.
-
Thank you.
-
Thanks.

No, I know it's 3:30.
-
Look, I can't. I can't.
I gotta find Paige.
-
No, no. I don't know.
Make it up.
-
I'm sorry. I didn't
know who else to call.
-
Get in, sweetheart.
Get in.
-
Oh, sweetie.
-
You all right?
Yeah.
-
♪ When the morning comes ♪
-
Hey.
Hey.
-
Where you been?
I was starting to get a little worried.
-
Thought something
might've happened to you.
-
Sorry.
I was lost, physically.
-
Mentally, I guess, as well.
-
Well, you should've called me.
-
Yeah, I forgot the phone
-
and I don't know
your number by heart,
-
so I called my mom
-
and we made a day of it,
which was great.
-
She invited us
for dinner tonight.
-
Dinner? Okay.
-
You don't have to go.
-
Well, you're not allowed to
drive, so I do have to go.
-
But that's not the point.
-
You know, maybe I'm gonna
wake up tomorrow
-
and remember everything,
-
but right now they're the
only thing I'm sure about.
-
Okay.
-
We'll go.
-
Okay.
-
Okay.
-
Are you gonna change?
-
Mmm. Mmm-hmm.
-
Changing.
-
It's just a left up here
at the Caldwells',
-
and then a right
at the cul-de-sac,
-
and we're six houses
in on the right.
-
Oh, the Prestleys got
a new mailbox. So cute.
-
You know, this arrangement
doesn't exactly say,
-
"I'm sorry that
we haven't spoken,
-
"but now that
I have a brain injury,
-
"maybe you can
overlook it."
-
You're right.
-
We should've got them
forget-me-nots.
-
That's funny.
-
Actually, that is funny.
-
So, well, you've
already met my parents,
-
but my dad will say to call him
Bill, but he prefers Mr. Thornton.
-
And my sister's name is...
-
Gwen.
-
I know a lot about
your family, Paige.
-
Right. Yeah.
-
We're married.
You know?
-
Oh, my God, you're engaged!
I know.
-
Wow.
-
You guys make a really cute couple.
Oh, thanks, Paige.
-
Wow.
-
It has been forever.
-
Has it?
-
Yeah.
-
The weird thing is that everyone
looks a little bit older.
-
Really? Yeah.
You, especially.
-
Oh, I'm... I'm so happy
to have you back.
-
Voilá.
-
In honor of Paige being home,
I made your favorite dinner.
-
Filet mignon.
-
Oh, please. Please.
Sit down.
-
Before we start, I think this
evening deserves a toast.
-
Darling?
-
Well, I... I would like
to drink to my family.
-
I am so fortunate to have these
three beautiful women in my life
-
and, when we're all together,
that fortune just multiplies.
-
Paige, honey, welcome home.
-
To family.
-
To family.
-
So, Leo,
what about your family?
-
Do you see them often?
-
No.
-
Oh, that's a shame.
-
Both my parents are dead.
-
It's just Paige.
-
She's my family now.
-
And what kind of
work do you do, Leo?
-
I just opened up my own
recording studio downtown.
-
Paige actually convinced me
to turn it into a business.
-
I did?
-
Yeah.
-
Isn't that sort
of a dying field?
-
No, I just mean,
can't people record things
-
on their computers at home
-
and they sound just as good?
Ryan.
-
What?
-
Look, the records that I like,
-
they have life
and warmth and soul.
-
Like the slapback on Scotty
Moore's guitar on Mystery Train.
-
Look, you're not gonna get
that in your computer.
-
You're gonna want a live room,
you're gonna want to bounce to tape.
-
You're gonna want real musicians in
a room, vibing off of each other.
-
You...
-
I guess, to answer your question,
it may be a dying field
-
and you can record
high-quality stuff at home.
-
But, I mean, come on,
-
you can't get the Sun
Sessions on your laptop.
-
Wow.
-
Wow.
-
Wow.
Wow.
-
I heard everyone is
gonna be here tonight.
-
This kind of thing might be a
little too much for Paige.
-
Oh, no,
I'm good here, actually.
-
Isn't that Diane Chain?
-
Yeah, we don't really
hang out anymore.
-
God, you have been
away a long time.
-
Oh, my God!
-
Good luck, man.
-
Hi.
Hi!
-
Sorry. Leo, these are my
friends from high school.
-
This is Shana, Carrie, Lizbet.
-
Hi.
-
What about me?
I don't get an introduction?
-
Hi.
-
Hi.
-
Sorry, this is...
-
Jeremy.
-
It's been a long time.
-
Has it?
-
It doesn't seem like it.
You haven't changed a bit.
-
I'm not sure if she
mentioned it. I'm Leo.
-
Hi.
Paige's husband.
-
Right.
I'm gonna grab a drink.
-
You guys want anything?
-
Disaronno sour?
-
I'll have a blueberry mojito.
-
Really?
-
Yes, I remember.
-
Oh, my God, Paige.
-
Do you remember when we
were in the ninth grade,
-
and we were getting ready
for the Christmas dance,
-
we were curling your hair...
-
We ended up
burning off half your hair.
-
I totally remember that!
-
And didn't I wind up having
to wear a beret to the dance?
-
No, no, no,
that was the...
-
It was like she was
some sweater-set wearing,
-
mojito-drinking
sorority girl.
-
Like a Stepford wife?
-
Yeah, basically.
-
She was even flirting with
Jeremy right in front of me.
-
Ex-fiancé Jeremy?
-
No, no. No.
-
In her mind,
it's current fiancé Jeremy.
-
Which is why it was
probably pretty annoying
-
to have her stranger husband
cock-block her all night.
-
That is a lot to
get my mind around.
-
So, what turns her on?
-
Paige?
-
No, her mother.
-
Yes, Paige.
-
Like, in bed?
-
Oh, my God, Leo.
-
What?
It's private. It's...
-
I don't know.
-
It's... It's kind of a
between-me-and-her kind of thing.
-
Hey, I'm not gonna judge.
-
She likes being tickled.
-
Seriously?
-
Wow. Thought you
weren't gonna judge.
-
I'm not. I'm just... I...
-
I don't care if
you're into kink.
-
It's not like that.
-
It just breaks her down
when she's stuck in her head.
-
Okay.
You should give that a shot.
-
Seriously?
-
Yeah. What do
you have to lose?
-
Hey, Lisa.
Hey.
-
Paige?
-
Because I've been dealing with these
people forever and I know they have...
-
Something important
just popped up.
-
I'm gonna call you
right back. Okay.
-
Hi.
Hi.
-
Please.
-
So, you remember
that time at the lake,
-
when you told me you'd always
have my back, no matter what?
-
The night in the boathouse.
-
Mmm-hmm. Yeah.
-
Yeah.
-
So, can you please tell me
what went down with us?
-
Only you, Paige,
can dump a guy,
-
then come back
and demand answers.
-
So I dumped you?
-
A cruel, hard,
pre-wedding dumping.
-
Why?
-
Well, that's a question
that I and all of my friends
-
and the two rebound girls,
-
yeah, we'd all
love an answer to.
-
Come on, seriously.
-
I must have had
some kind of reason.
-
You...
-
You... You changed.
-
You talked differently,
you dressed differently.
-
You weren't sure
about law school anymore.
-
And you definitely weren't
sure about me anymore.
-
Did I give you your ring back?
-
Yeah, you did.
-
Who has that now?
-
No one yet.
-
But I've been with Rose.
-
You remember?
From Gwen's class.
-
I've been with Rose
for about a year now.
-
I couldn't wait forever, Paige.
-
You couldn't have anticipated
-
that I'd have a brain trauma
and forget our break-up
-
and come waltzing
into your office
-
demanding answers?
-
What's wrong with you?
-
I'm sorry. I'm gonna
let you go back to work.
-
Sure.
-
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
-
I was not expecting that.
-
Habit, I guess.
-
I honestly didn't even know where I
was headed until I found myself here.
-
It just seems
so ridiculous to me
-
that I shut everyone out
for five years.
-
It just doesn't feel right.
-
Hey.
-
Hey.
How was your day?
-
Uh...
-
It was fine.
-
I'm just happy to
be home with you.
-
Sorry about the mess here.
-
No problem.
-
What, are you collaging?
-
Do I collage?
-
No, not that I remember.
-
No, you know,
I was just so inspired
-
just seeing
everybody last night.
-
To collage?
-
All those memories just
came flooding back to me,
-
so I thought I'd make a
timeline, you know, of my life.
-
That's... That's great.
That's a great idea.
-
Yeah.
-
I kind of rummaged through some of your stuff.
I hope you don't mind.
-
It's fine. It's fine.
What's mine is yours.
-
I even have a certificate from the
State of Illinois to prove it.
-
Yes, I found that.
It's in the lost years.
-
See, I started over here.
-
I found some family photos, me when
I was little, stuff like that.
-
That was easy to put
into chronological order
-
because I remember that stuff.
-
That's good, right?
-
Yeah, yeah. I guess so.
-
But what I've been trying to do
-
is pinpoint
the last memory I had
-
before everything
just went blank.
-
How's that going?
-
I think I was
at the Macaroni Grill,
-
and I was asking them if they had
those special toasted ravioli.
-
And I don't
remember the answer.
-
That's it, that's all,
that's my last memory
-
before I woke up in a hospital.
-
Oh, no. How are we ever gonna
know if they had toasted ravioli?
-
God, this is not happening.
-
It's okay.
-
This is not happening.
-
Okay? No, no, no, no,
please don't do that.
-
Come on.
What...
-
What are you doing?
-
I'm sorry.
-
I'm sorry. Was that...
That was one of our things?
-
Yeah, kind of. It...
I'm sorry...
-
No. You don't have
to say it.
-
You don't. I get it.
It'll all come back.
-
We just have to keep
doing what we're doing,
-
let you fall back
into your life.
-
It'll
all sort itself out.
-
Yeah.
-
About a dozen
downtown businesses were boarded up...
-
About a dozen
downtown businesses were boarded up...
-
Glass littered sidewalks,
following two nights of protests
-
over the police
shooting of an...
-
Hey.
-
There were few people
on the street.
-
I think I'm ready
to see my studio now.
-
Will you show it to me?
-
Yeah.
-
Come on.
-
This is the first studio
you've ever had to yourself.
-
It's a cool space, huh?
Wow.
-
You weren't sure you liked
it at first, though.
-
Until you had this idea
to burn some smudge stick
-
that you bought from some guy
on the corner of Diversey.
-
We lit this thing
-
and we started waving it around
-
until we realized that it was
just some old pieces of lettuce.
-
So, we're waving around burning lettuce.
I don't know.
-
But it must've done
the trick, though,
-
'cause after that, I couldn't
get you out of here.
-
You would come in
and crank your music,
-
and you'd get lost
in a project,
-
and I'd have to come and remind
you that it was night-time.
-
This is one of your pieces
for the Tribune Tower series.
-
What is it supposed to be?
-
I'm not sure if
you even knew yet.
-
But come here.
-
I...
-
Here, just help it figure
out what it wants to be.
-
Okay.
-
I don't...
I don't really know
-
how to use this thing.
-
Sure you do.
Wait, hold on.
-
That's better. Come on.
-
Just try it.
It might be fun.
-
Can you just turn down
the music, please?
-
I swear you used
to listen to it
-
so much louder than this.
-
I never could understand
how you would just
-
be able to focus...
-
I have a clinically bad,
goddamn headache!
-
Please turn down the music!
-
I'm trying to help you!
-
But I am not your punching bag.
-
We don't speak to
each other like this.
-
This is hard for me,
too, Paige.
-
Paige?
-
Yeah?
-
Hey.
Hey.
-
I passed by that
little Portuguese bakery
-
that you love on the way home,
-
and I got us some...
-
Is somebody here?
Yeah.
-
Leo.
Hey.
-
My sister's just up to her
eyeballs with this wedding stuff,
-
and we've got the
engagement party coming up.
-
And we all thought Paige could
come home and help her out.
-
It just seems like
the right thing to do,
-
to be there for Gwen.
-
Okay. But what
about your life here?
-
What about all the work
that you haven't finished?
-
I talked to the people
at the Tribune.
-
And they were really understanding
about the accident,
-
and Dad's gonna
loan me the money
-
to pay back
their advance, so...
-
I don't know.
I just... I can't do it.
-
You just come out
when you're ready, honey.
-
Okay, thanks, Dad.
-
I'm sorry. It's just
until after the wedding.
-
I just want you to
be careful, okay?
-
Well, I'm not joining a cult.
-
I'm just going to
stay with my family.
-
I know, but...
But what?
-
Can I at least give you
an awkward hug?
-
So, how are you feeling?
-
Mmm. I feel fine.
-
Yeah? No dizziness,
disorientation, sleepiness?
-
Nope.
Great.
-
Well, I'm very happy, and
your CT scan looks excellent.
-
Oh.
-
What a relief. Well...
-
So, your memory recall,
anything?
-
Not really.
-
No, huh?
-
That's not normal, is it?
-
Listen, when it comes to the
brain, nothing is normal,
-
because no two brain
injuries are the same.
-
Paige seems
perfectly herself again.
-
It's wonderful.
-
Mrs. Thornton, could I just talk to
Paige alone for a moment, please?
-
It's okay, Mom.
I'm... I'm good.
-
All right.
-
Thanks.
-
Paige, do you want
to regain your memory?
-
Yes.
-
Because some patients fear
-
that when their memory
comes back,
-
so will the memory
of the trauma,
-
but mercifully
that's rarely the case.
-
Oh, no, that's not it.
I'm... I'm...
-
I'm not afraid of the accident.
-
So, what are you afraid of?
-
I guess I just...
I don't know. It's...
-
I mean, what if I don't
like the life that I had?
-
Or what if I like it too much?
-
I...
-
I just don't know.
-
I only did one psych rotation,
-
so this may be terrible advice.
-
But I think you have to
try and fill the holes.
-
You can still decide
you want a different life,
-
but if you don't at least
-
open yourself up
to remembering,
-
I'm afraid you're gonna live
in fear of your own past.
-
Hey. I'm here.
-
These guys are?
-
Knife Skillz, with a Z.
-
Right.
-
Okay, Mikey, sounds amazing.
Let's just go for it.
-
I am going for it.
-
The bass line is one note.
-
Just one note.
-
Okay, cool.
-
Take two.
-
Wow.
-
You look different.
-
Yeah. Going for
a Kanye kind of thing.
-
I'm gonna say
more Michael Bublé,
-
but, whatever, it's still good.
-
Hmm.
-
So... I'm gonna be
in and out for a while.
-
Sounds really good, Mikey.
-
Let's just take it from the top
or the middle or wherever.
-
You know what?
People come here to work with you, okay?
-
I mean, I'm doing my best,
but you gotta be here.
-
I know.
-
But if Paige is in Lake
Forest with her family,
-
that's where I gotta be.
-
I gotta make my wife
fall in love with me again.
-
- Oh, you found each other.
- Hi!
-
Hi.
Let's see it.
-
It's good to see you.
All right, take it easy.
-
The countdown's on, man.
Hey, man.
-
One week left of
your former life.
-
How you feeling?
-
I feel pretty good, actually.
-
I mean, I do get a little dizzy
-
if I think about it
for too long, but...
-
What?
-
No, honey, it's like
a good dizzy. It's like...
-
It's like panic or excitement.
-
Well, panic and excitement
are different.
-
Honey, there's gonna
be 400 people there.
-
Right.
-
Hey, do you also have a little
tingling in your fingers?
-
Yeah. Is that bad?
-
Do you listen to Radiohead?
-
Uh-huh.
-
Thom Yorke, he talks about
dizzy spells all the time.
-
He says when
his fingers tingle,
-
that's how he knows that he's
creating something genius.
-
And then he gets
so amped up playing
-
that he almost passes out.
-
Ryan, it sounds to me like
you're on the verge of genius.
-
That's cool, man.
Cheers.
-
Ooh, Ryan, I have someone
I want you to meet.
-
Mom, you listen to Radiohead?
-
Yeah. Why wouldn't I?
-
So, is that true?
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
Paige?
-
Hey, Leo.
-
What?
Your hair.
-
It looks so different.
-
You look beautiful.
-
Thank you.
-
Okay, look, so I've been
thinking about something.
-
Okay.
-
What's your favorite book?
-
It's probably not
what you remember.
-
That's fine.
That's not the point.
-
Okay. The Beach House
by James Patterson.
-
No, really?
Yeah.
-
Okay. The Beach House.
-
Okay, if it was great, you probably
loaned it to somebody, right?
-
Yeah. Gwen, I think.
-
Okay, and you probably
said to yourself,
-
"God, I wish I was the
person that hadn't read it,
-
"so that I could experience
it all over again."
-
Yeah, I guess so.
-
That's how I think
we should look at this.
-
What?
-
You can't remember how we met.
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
And you can't remember
how we fell in love.
-
And in a way, yeah, that sucks.
-
But it was
the greatest time of my life.
-
I just thought
how cool it would be
-
to get to experience it
all over again.
-
Like reading your favorite
book for the first time.
-
Exactly.
Got you.
-
Which is why I want to
ask you out on a date.
-
A date?
-
Like two people that are just
meeting for the first time.
-
Jeremy...
-
Yeah, I'm sorry.
-
Well, I don't know.
I mean, you know,
-
we've got
the wedding coming up.
-
But if we go out before then,
-
you might still be able
to take me as your date.
-
I can't promise anything,
-
but I'll put in
a good word for you.
-
All right.
-
Yeah?
A date.
-
So, I have an idea, but it
involves going into the city.
-
You okay with that?
-
Yeah, that's fine.
-
I just have to be back
by 10:00 in the morning.
-
Oh, my God.
-
What?
-
First date and you're already
-
inviting yourself
to stay the night?
-
I'm just a little
scandalized is all.
-
No, I just meant...
-
Don't worry.
I'll have you back tonight.
-
If you wanna
stay the night, that's...
-
I mean, it's...
If you want...
-
You wanna just see
how it goes? All right.
-
♪ You can love me foolishly
-
♪ Love me foolish-like
-
♪ Well, I wake
-
♪ In the morning and dress ♪
-
Should we get out?
-
We don't have to.
-
Is this the part of the date
where I find out
-
you're not actually my husband
-
but some crazy stalker,
-
and you're gonna strangle me
with my purse?
-
No. This is
the exact parking spot
-
where we first met.
-
Oh.
-
I'm gonna take you on
a little retrospective of us.
-
Mmm.
-
That is so good.
-
You ready for dessert?
-
Dessert?
Hmm.
-
We just had waffles.
-
Mmm-mmm.
This is dinner.
-
These are dessert.
-
Well, how do you know
what flavors they all are?
-
It's like a chocolate Russian roulette.
It's part of the fun.
-
We'd be surprised
by the ones we liked
-
and the ones we didn't.
-
Okay.
-
And...
-
You don't like it?
-
I do not like that one.
-
Here. Try this one.
I think you'd like this one.
-
Oh?
Mmm.
-
Told you.
Okay.
-
Your turn.
-
Are we going shot for shot?
-
Wait till you try
their hot chocolate.
-
We would come here
whenever it snowed.
-
Are you trying to make me
diabetic or just fat?
-
No, I...
-
You got a...
It's still in your hair.
-
So, we come down here at
night and look at the lake?
-
That's not exactly what we do.
-
I... I'm not...
-
I don't...
-
No, no, it's not that.
-
We said we'd go in
once a month every month,
-
and we haven't done April yet.
-
We started in July.
-
Why? Why would we do that?
-
We were at
this spaghetti place,
-
and we had this waiter
and he said he did it.
-
And he was, like, 80.
So we thought we could.
-
Yeah.
-
Now, we said
no wetsuits, but...
-
You're serious.
-
...for you, I guess
I'll make an exception.
-
All right. Turn around.
-
Turn around.
-
Okay.
-
Wait. No wetsuit?
-
We said no wetsuits, right?
-
Yeah.
-
Oh, no.
-
No, no. No, no!
-
Come on.
-
Thank you.
-
Heat, heat.
-
My left eyelid's frozen shut.
-
I can't feel my fingers.
-
I can't feel them.
-
I don't know what your
Paige did on a first date,
-
but with me, you're
only getting to first base.
-
Okay.
-
I'm sorry.
I can do better.
-
My... My lips
are still numb.
-
It's nice.
-
Second base, tops.
-
This is perfect.
-
Thank you for coming out
with me tonight.
-
I had a really nice time.
-
I've missed you.
-
I miss our life together.
I miss being with you.
-
I love you.
-
I should probably get inside.
-
Good night.
-
Good night.
-
Hey.
-
Hey. I didn't know
you were gonna be here.
-
Were you out with Jeremy?
-
No.
-
I was with Leo.
-
I like him.
-
Yeah.
-
Me, too.
-
Are you okay?
-
Paige, I've never seen
you like this before.
-
I mean, is this
crying thing the new you?
-
Because it's bizarre.
-
I don't know.
I don't know what's me.
-
I have a tattoo.
-
And I'm a vegetarian, too.
-
Look, it was just like it used to be.
It was better, actually.
-
Everything that
I fell in love with
-
about Paige is still there.
-
You know, to you,
I'm sure it seemed
-
like a confirmation
of your love
-
or your marriage, right?
-
But to her,
it probably seemed more
-
like a really good first date.
-
Exactly. Which is why
I think you've gotta wait
-
the requisite three days
before you call.
-
I gotta wait three days
-
to call after a date
with my own wife?
-
At least. This is a unique case.
Maybe longer.
-
It can't be longer.
-
I'm gonna see her
on Saturday at the wedding.
-
I'm telling you,
it was so obvious.
-
Even with all this crazy shit going on
around us, we still belong together.
-
Obvious to her or to you?
-
To both of us.
-
- Oh. Oh, Paige?
- Yeah?
-
We have to start writing out
those place cards after we eat.
-
Yes.
-
Before you start on that,
-
I have a little surprise
for you, Paige.
-
Oh?
-
You know Ray Porter, right?
-
He taught constitutional law
at Northwestern.
-
He and I were on
law review together.
-
We've known each other
1,000 years.
-
He is the dean of
the law school now.
-
Okay.
-
And they're gonna
let you back in.
-
What?
-
Well...
-
I didn't even apply.
-
I took care of it.
-
This is crazy.
-
I feel like I'm getting
a free do-over in life.
-
You look like
you could use a drink.
-
I've already had several.
-
But you haven't had this.
-
All right.
-
I'm glad we're
having a moment alone.
-
I haven't gotten a chance
to really talk to you, Leo.
-
Yeah.
-
Yeah, cool.
-
Congratulations.
-
That's nice.
-
Yes, it is.
-
I've been thinking.
-
And I think that it's probably
time to let us take it from here.
-
Take what?
-
Things with Paige.
-
Look, I know she didn't have
health insurance because
-
you chose to live
in a certain way,
-
and I know you must
be drowning in debt.
-
But I also know
a way out of this.
-
What's that?
-
Divorce her.
-
The bills have
only just begun, Leo.
-
Mr. Thornton, I don't think
this is the time
-
or the place to discuss this.
-
Fine. If you don't care
about losing your business,
-
which, clearly, you don't,
-
what about Paige?
-
What about doing
what is obviously
-
the right thing for her?
-
And you know
what's right for her?
-
As a matter of fact, I do.
-
You're such a hypocrite.
-
What did you say?
-
If you're such
a family man, how come I...
-
I never once saw
you come and try
-
to put things back
together with Paige?
-
You're such a coward.
-
Hey, can I introduce
you around a little bit?
-
Can't feel good to
be the odd man out.
-
I'm not the odd man out.
-
All right.
If you say so.
-
You just seem a little creepy
over here all by yourself.
-
I'm just waiting
for Paige, man.
-
All right, well,
best of luck with that.
-
You like this, right?
-
I'm sorry, like what?
-
Paige leaves you behind.
-
She goes and has
this life without you,
-
with some guy that no one gets.
-
And now you get to
see her reject all that.
-
I mean, I like it
a little bit.
-
Yeah?
-
Well, let me
tell you what I like.
-
I like the fact
that Paige told me
-
everything about you, Jeremy.
-
Okay.
-
She told me that
when she was with you,
-
she would wake up
at night in a panic,
-
thinking,
"Is this all there is?"
-
Wow.
-
She told you everything, huh?
-
Mmm-hmm.
-
Did she tell you
that she threw herself
-
at me the other day?
-
Did she tell you that?
-
Or did she stop
telling you everything
-
when she forgot
who the hell you were?
-
Look, I get why
you're being such a dick.
-
You obviously love her,
-
and you think you're
gonna get her back.
-
But the thing is,
she outgrew you.
-
What makes you think
that won't happen again?
-
Thank you for that advice.
-
I will mull it over while
I'm in bed with your wife.
-
Leo!
-
Paige, wait!
-
What the hell
were you thinking?
-
I don't know. That's
a really good question,
-
because I have been
driving myself insane,
-
making a complete ass
of myself!
-
Literally trying
everything possible
-
to try to save what we have.
-
And you've been throwing
yourself at Jeremy.
-
That's not fair.
-
It's not fair?
-
I see the way you look at him.
-
I know,
-
because you used to
look at me that way.
-
Leo, I...
-
No, I think we need to
start being realistic.
-
Your memory's not coming back.
-
The fact is that
I'm still just a stranger.
-
I'm not trying to hurt you.
-
But I'm just...
-
I'm so tired of
disappointing you.
-
I know.
-
I'm so sorry.
-
I'll apologize
to Gwen and Ryan.
-
Oh, God, no, it's fine.
-
Wedding disasters have a way
of turning into great stories.
-
Eventually.
-
How do you look at
the girl you love
-
and tell yourself
it's time to walk away?
-
Leo?
-
I hope one day I can love
the way that you love me.
-
You figured it out once.
-
You'll do it again.
-
Shit.
-
You're here, not there.
-
Are you okay?
-
I'm done.
-
It's over. I give up.
-
No, you never give up, Leo.
-
No, if we were
meant to be together,
-
we would be together.
-
I was just thinking
about the first time
-
that we went to
that Greek restaurant
-
on the corner.
-
There was
this big banner saying
-
"Now Serving Soup,"
-
and I just started to
go on and on
-
About all the obstacles
-
that the owner
must have overcome
-
to achieve his lifelong dream
of serving soup.
-
And then...
And when I was finished...
-
She didn't say anything
for a few seconds
-
and she just...
-
She just sort of exhaled it.
-
It was almost to herself.
-
"I love you."
-
And it just hung there.
-
It was the first time
she had said it,
-
and I didn't
even wanna respond.
-
I just wanted to
keep hearing it.
-
That was two weeks
after we met.
-
It only took her two weeks
-
to fall in love with me before.
-
She doesn't love me.
-
Sign here, please.
-
Come here, little buddy.
-
Diane?
-
Hey.
-
How are you?
Listen...
-
I know it's been years.
-
I was away for a while.
-
I never had a chance
to apologize.
-
I was just going through
a really weird time,
-
but your dad ended it
-
as soon as your mother
confronted him about us.
-
And I just always
wanted you to know that.
-
I don't mean to
open old wounds, but...
-
I just really needed
to say that I'm sorry.
-
No, I'm really glad
that you said something.
-
You were always
a really good friend.
-
I just wish I could've
returned the favor.
-
The lilies were bad,
so I got sunflowers instead.
-
I wanted to tell you.
-
You knew?
-
You knew the whole time?
-
I'm sorry.
Don't talk to me.
-
Paige. Paige. Paige!
-
Hey, where have you
been all day, stranger?
-
Hmm?
-
Paige?
-
I ran into Diane Chain
at the store.
-
That's why I left, isn't it?
Because I found out.
-
Mom, I barely
even know who I am,
-
and then it turns out
you're lying to me,
-
and you've used my accident
to rewrite the past?
-
I couldn't bear the thought
of losing you again.
-
Do you have any idea how
betrayed I feel right now?
-
I'm sorry, Paige.
-
We were happier than
we'd been in years.
-
Oh, Mom!
-
We finally had you back again.
-
Back on your terms!
-
No!
-
Yes, as usual!
Paige!
-
He cheated on you
with my friend!
-
How could you stay with him?
-
I...
-
I was going to leave.
-
I was.
I was all ready to leave.
-
And then one afternoon, I
was all alone in the house,
-
and I started looking at
all the photographs of you
-
and your...
-
And your sister.
-
And the house seemed
so full of all of us.
-
We were a family, Paige.
-
And I realized
in that moment that
-
that was the most important
thing in the world for me.
-
And I couldn't, I couldn't,
-
I could not go.
-
So, you just WASPed it away?
-
No.
-
I chose to stay with him
-
for all the things
that he had done right
-
and not to leave him for the one
thing that he had done wrong.
-
I chose to forgive him.
-
Maybe Leo was right.
-
Maybe I can't figure out who I
am and be around all of you.
-
I still feel a little chilly.
I don't care what you say.
-
That's fine.
-
Paige.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Is everything okay?
-
Look, you two obviously need
to talk, so I'm just...
-
Okay.
Talk to you later.
-
All right, bye.
-
I'm... I'm sorry.
-
What happened?
-
Can I ask you something?
-
Yeah.
-
You can always ask me anything.
-
Did you know
about my dad's affair?
-
Yeah.
-
I knew.
-
Why didn't you tell me?
-
There were so many times
that I almost did.
-
But to drive you away
from your family again?
-
That just felt wrong.
-
I wanted your love, I...
-
Just not like that.
-
I wanted to earn it.
-
I just don't think I can
afford to lose them right now.
-
So don't.

The United States
Supreme Court,

-
Thanks for lunch.
-
Actually, there's something
that I wanted to tell you.
-
Okay.
-
Things are over with Rose.
-
I ended it, Paige.
-
No. Why did you do that?
-
I thought you were
getting engaged...
-
We were,
but that was before you.
-
No, that was after me.
-
Okay, it was after you,
but it was before this you.
-
It was before
the old you came back.
-
Jeremy, I'm not the old me.
-
I'm just me.
-
I'm just the me that's trying
to figure it out still.
-
I understand,
but, whichever it is,
-
the old you or the new you,
I don't care.
-
I know you remember
what we were like together.
-
I know you do.
-
This is our chance
to get that back.
-
What we had was wonderful.
-
Those were wonderful memories,
but those were...
-
Those are my only memories.
-
Everything after you is erased.
-
I...
-
I have to discover what it's like
to be without you, on my own.
-
Are you sure you don't remember
-
breaking up with me
the first time?
-
Why?
-
'Cause it sounded
a hell of a lot like that.
-
Let's go.
-
Hey.
I was looking all over.
-
I was worried when I didn't
see you outside the library.
-
So...
-
How's that intellectual
property class going?
-
Actually, I wanna
talk to you about that.
-
I've decided to
leave law school.
-
And I'm gonna get
an apartment in the city.
-
It's happening
all over again, isn't it?
-
Damn it, Paige.
-
I've made a lot of mistakes.
-
Dad, this isn't about you
or anything you've done.
-
This is about me,
who I want to be, who I am.
-
Just tell me what to say,
so I don't lose you again.
-
You won't.
-
A moment of impact.
-
A moment of impact
whose potential for change
-
has ripple effects far
beyond what we can predict,
-
sending some particles
crashing together
-
making them closer than before,
-
while sending others spinning
off into great ventures
-
landing where you never
thought you'd find them.
-
You see, that's the thing
about moments like these.
-
You can't,
-
no matter how hard you try,
-
control how
they're gonna affect you.
-
You just gotta let the colliding
particles land where they may
-
and wait until
the next collision.
-
I vow to
help you love life,
-
to always hold you
with tenderness,
-
and to have the patience
that love demands.
-
To speak when words are needed
-
and to share the silence
when they're not.
-
To agree to disagree
on red velvet cake.
-
And to live within
the warmth of your heart
-
and always call it home.
-
Hi.
-
Hi.
-
I hope you didn't
come all the way
-
into the city
for hot chocolate.
-
Actually, I moved
back here six months ago.
-
I'm over in Rogers Park.
-
Really? That...
That's great.
-
I'm actually back
at the Art Institute.
-
What?
Are you kidding me?
-
Mmm-mmm.
-
That's amazing.
-
Yeah. I mean, I'm sitting
in on a few classes,
-
and it's crazy
what my hands remember
-
that my, you know,
that my mind forgot.
-
Yeah.
-
So, thank you.
-
I didn't do anything.
-
You did everything.
-
You accepted me for who I am,
-
and not for
what you wanted me to be.
-
I just wanted you to be happy.
-
That's all.
-
Isn't there some
Cuban place around here
-
where we used to go
when this place was closed?
-
Yeah. It's... Wait.
You remember?
-
No, no.
-
I wish.
-
No, the memory stuff
hasn't come back, but I've...
-
Sonia and I have been
hanging out a little bit,
-
and I've been
asking her about us.
-
Really?
And what has she been saying?
-
That she doesn't think you're
-
seeing anyone right now.
-
She just happens to be right.
-
You? Are you seeing anyone?
-
That's good.
-
So, do you wanna go
to the Cuban place?
-
With me?
-
Okay.
-
Okay.
-
What would you say
to trying someplace
-
that we haven't been to before?
-
Someplace new?
-
I'd like that.
-
After you.
