I just don't tell you this enough.

Oh, baby, don't be silly.

I love you, too.

Are you okay?

Do you remember?

I remember.

Memories are wonderful.

Did you get my package?

Do you remember playing

the piano with me?

Yes.

How can I not be real if

I remember these things?

Why?

So we can have a record of it,

so we can show papi.

It helps him to remember.

Now, are you ready?

Like we practiced, okay?

Like that?

Si, exactly like that.

Now don't stop, okay, Annie?

Mom, sorry.

I'm just listening to it right now.

I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

Love you.

Mommy!

Mommy, I love you!

I love you so much!

Mommy!

What about the things I've done?

What about my memories,

the stuff that makes me me!

They're mine, not yours.

All those things you've

done, they're here.

Can't I just stay here?

Please, I can sleep in there.

Just give me one last...

You won't remember this.

We've tried it before.

We kept you here at first. /

Seemed safe.

But you would forget everything.

Everything.

It was horrible.

You hurt yourself.

You hurt us.

We couldn't get anything done.

It was easier with you out there.

It was just... / Awful for you, I know.

I felt it everyday.

You okay?

No, not really.

I know.

Yeah, you probably do.

I'm scared.

What?

So.

Yeah.

Look at us,

sitting here like two normal people.

I feel like I should

say something profound.

You know, if I were in your place...

If I were you,

I don't know if I could do this.

I don't think I could.

Yeah, you could.

Thank you.

You're an a**hole and if

I think that, so does she.

Go on, then.

Hit me.

Three, two, one.

Salud.

And the project? / We shut it down.

No, why? / I'm with Ana, I mean...

How can we stop progress?

It's out there now,

we know it's possible.

Someone else will discover it.

And you think it should be us?

Even after what we just... /

Well, because of that, yes!

Do we outlaw cars because people crash?

Or electricity because it electrocutes?

I have the MRI on Thursday,

that'll give us some closure.

Then we press ahead.

It's called progress.

Did we really imagine

there weren't gonna

be any teething issues?

And the worm?

The investigation?

I can hack the blame onto anyone,

I just need someone with a motive.

We still have a million

more tests to run, true.

But we need to move forward.

And to move forward,

we need money, funding.

Now you said that the

meetings were back on.

Yeah, but... / Good, good.

Now, then.

Do you remember all the cool

sh*t we said we were gonna do?

Watch.

Everything will change.

Guys, pay attention.

Can we get something to eat?

I'm starving.

Yeah?

Come on.

Wow, that was amazing.

Wasn't it?

What a clever sticks you are.

I did okay?

You were brilliant.

Now, this is the best part.

We can go back and listen to

it again, and again if we want.

Can I give it to papi?

Sure you can.

When he comes back, you can do anything.

Now, press that to turn it off.
