No! I can't!

Come on!

Joanna?

Bobby!

What are you waiting for?

Joanna!

Sh*t.

My god. Jo, you okay? You okay?

Nooo!

Good-bye, china blue.

I'm here tonight...

because i wanted to finally

start telling the truth.

My wife and i,

we split up for good.

That's right.

Me, the boy scout.

I just never had the guts

to admit the truth,

that amy and i had just

stopped loving each other.

There's nobody to blame.

That's just what happened.

Then...

i met this woman, joanna.

She saved my life.

We're together now.

I'm not sure

if it's gonna work out.

We don't have a, a whole

hell of a lot in common,

other than the fact that...

that we both need help...

and each other.

The thing, you see,

that scared me the most...

during my marriage...

was just admitting

that i was scared...

and letting amy down.

Well, i can't pretend anymore.

I was scared shitless

to come back here.

I told joanna.

And she took me

in her arms...

and she said,

"it's okay to be scared. "

I felt stronger...

and freer...

and more like a man than i've

ever felt before in my life.

Then we f***ed our brains out.

They have happiness

see how they smile?

In their little house

high upon a hill?

They show tenderness

they have a style?

They know what they want

and they always will?

Baby in the crib?

Where is the love?

Shiny silver car?

Where is the love?

Damn the living

it's a lovely life?

Silver silverware?

Where is the love?

Oval swimming pool?

Where is the love?

Damn the living

it's a lovely life?

It's a lovely

a lovely life?

Welcome to it

it's a lovely life?

It's a lovely?

Life?
