Come on.

Okay.

"It's a far, far better thing

that I do than I've ever done.

And it's a far, far better rest

that I go to

than I've ever known. "

He's happy to give his life

and go to death

because of the good

he has done.

Beautiful. Whoa.

To Mr. Sydney Carton,

who lives in your cat.

Okay.

You know, I've lived

in Santa Monica...

it's in California,

Santa Monica...

for, I don't know, years,

and I hardly ever...

go to the beach.

I forget it's even there.

Yeah.

I love this place.

I love the feel of it.

Yeah. This is different

from the Pacific side.

- Right?

- Yeah.

- It's different, yeah.

- Yes.

I love the Pacific side.

You showed me

beautiful places.

Yeah.

This is different.

I don't know. It's just...

I don't even know

the American word for it.

"Chill. "

I think "chill" is the American

word you're looking for.

- Yeah, you're right.

- Chill.

- That's it.

- Yeah.

Chill.

Look at this.

Yeah, it's from the reef.

It's right here.

Yeah.

Chill.

Enjoy your life.

To the best day of your life.

I'll drink to that.

Pura vida.

"Dear Juan,

I truly am sorry

to have done this to you,

to have done this to myself

while I'm with you.

You really did show me

the best week of my life.

But unfortunately...

I'd already screwed up

the rest of it beforehand. "

Do you wanna dance?

Come on!

You better, Jane.

Come on, walk with the music.

I don't want to.

I think it's just

too advanced for me.

- Okay, okay.

- Are you...

No, no. Come with me.

Okay.

Here.

- You're okay?

- Yeah.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I want to...

I want to try.

- Okay.

- Life is short, right?

Yes, it is.

Pura vida.

Wait.

Gracias.

- I got it.

- Okay.

No, I have...

I have a lighter.

Let me see it.

I've never seen one before.

Oh.

Me first?

Stop. Esta bien.

Cough it out.

Cough it out.

- No.

- What'd I do wrong?

No, no, no. It's...

You must do it slower,

you know?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Slower, you know?

Stop, stop, stop,

stop, stop. Out.

Okay, okay.

Slow.

Pura vida, my...

Oh, no, you have to...

- Shh!

- Okay, okay.

Okay! Shh!

Yeah, yeah, feel free.

Don't, no, no, in, in.

Stop. Stop.

Good. Out, out, out.

As soon as you can.

Yes, take it out.

Okay, okay. No more.

- Okay.

- Not many...

Wow.

The moon is glowing.

Just glowing and glowing and

glowing and glowing and glowing.

It's really amazing.

It is.

You feel okay?

Uh, funny.

Yeah, I don't know.

Why? Do I sound weird?

No. No, no, no.

Your voice sounds like...

- Good.

- Well, I can tell you,

I don't even feel like

a pathetic librarian anymore,

but...

I don't really feel

like myself either.

That's good.

When were you ever pathetic?

You're not pathetic.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

- Yes, I was pathetic too.

- No, you're not.

Okay, I'm gonna tell you.

I'm gonna tell you.

I'm gonna tell you why now.

I am pathetic when I read

the dictionary

to find big words to use

to impress American women.

Yeah, to look smart.

What, you're up

to the letter "C"?

Okay. Oh, oh!

Enough, enough, enough!

It's gonna ruin my day too!

No. Just remember this.

You're a good man, Juan,

and you're a really good

father to Anna.

So whatever you do,

just promise me this.

Just promise me

that you'll remember

that I had the best,

best week of my entire life...

with you.

Okay?

Promise?

Your lips are like

little pillows.

Okay, I'm sorry.

We don't...

No, I, uh...

I've not done this

in a long time.

Jane?

Jane.

Jane?

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Are you...

sunbathing?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

You're in your underwear, Juan.

Yeah.

Well, yeah.

And you? You're okay?

Yeah?

Yeah. Yeah.

You wanna go swimming?

It's nice.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well...

you should put

your bathing suit on.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna grab one.

- Everything's okay?

- Everything's great.

Okay, okay.

Yeah, oh...

Juan.

Pura vida.

Pura vida, Jane.

Pura vida.

I traveled here to do

a little living before I died.

I guess I did a little

too much living.

Okay!

I have accessed

the creature.

You have choos-pah.

Eee-my!

Anna...

Papi!

Shh! Wait, wait.

Come on, go now.

- Anna!

- Jane.
