the bottom of my heart for it.

Because I needed it.

I needed you in this life.

That's what I wanted to say.

I gotta... I gotta sit down.

I'm sorry.

I'm not leaving Jack.

I love him.

Wow. You're pregnant.

I didn't see that coming.

Do you know what it is yet?

Not yet. Hoping it's a girl.

Uh, I almost proposed to you, you know?

When we were in that

hotel room in Paris.

I even picked out the

ring. I had it with me.

I was about to give it

to you, and then I took it

and I flushed it down the toilet.

I keep replaying that moment

over and over again in my head.

Why are you crying?

I'm just happy to see you.

And it's such a beautiful night.

I feel like I'm in the wrong world.

Cause I don't belong in a world where

we don't end up together. I don't.

There are parallel universes out

there where this didn't happen.

Where I was with you,

and you were with me.

And whatever universe that is

that's the one where my heart lives in.

I wanted so badly to go back into

that dream I had the other night.

I tried so hard... to go back to sleep.

You know, I never thought

love was real. I didn't.

And now I think life

isn't real without it.

That sounds like a really

bad greeting card...

Don't. Don't make it a joke.

Truth?

I think you always believed in love.

This is so stupid.

So irrational.

Why am I so hell-bent

on getting you back?

You f***ing hate Pixar

movies for crying out loud.

You still have an AOL account.

I don't wanna be with

a person like that.

Why does it feel so

impossible to let you go?

It's an addiction, you

know. That's all it is.

It's a biochemical

addiction. It's so stupid.

If you think about it

relationships are all

totally narcissistic.

Basically, you're just looking

for someone who'll love you

as much as you love

yourself. That's all it is.

- No, it's not.

- Yes, it is.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

I don't know anything anymore.

But I know I do love you.

- Dell...

- Just give me a minute, okay.
