Dear John Page #14
beach house a year ago.
1290
01:
31:33,401 -- 01:31:35,596Which was a godsend.
1291
01:
31:36,771 -- 01:31:39,865We've done a few fundraisers.
1292
01:
31:40,809 -- 01:31:41,833[SlGHS]
1293
01:
31:42,010 -- 01:31:46,174But l never would have guessed
that we would run out so fast.
1294
01:
31:54,055 -- 01:31:55,955Stay for dinner, okay?
1295
01:
32:02,764 -- 01:32:04,527So you drink now.
1296
01:
32:04,699 -- 01:32:06,929Just a glass or two at dinner.
1297
01:
32:07,635 -- 01:32:10,604Tim got me started
1298
01:
32:18,813 -- 01:32:20,644Why are you looking at me
like that?
1299
01:
32:20,815 -- 01:32:21,839What do you mean?
1300
01:
32:22,784 -- 01:32:24,308How am l looking at you?
1301
01:
32:25,587 -- 01:32:27,248Differently.
1302
01:
32:28,790 -- 01:32:31,258l don't know, how do you
want me to look at you?
1303
01:
32:31,893 -- 01:32:33,554You're different.
1304
01:
32:37,298 -- 01:32:39,061Oh...
1305
01:
32:43,938 -- 01:32:45,769l don't know--
1306
01:
32:48,676 -- 01:32:52,442l don't know why l came here.
l mean, what are we doing?
1307
01:
32:56,251 -- 01:32:58,879We're sitting here and we're
eating and we're talking,
1308
01:
32:59,053 -- 01:33:01,214but no one's actually
saying anything.
1309
01:
33:01,389 -- 01:33:04,688What do you want me to say?
What do you want to talk about?
1310
01:
33:11,733 -- 01:33:13,530Why didn't you call?
1311
01:
33:17,105 -- 01:33:19,073Why didn't you call me?
1312
01:
33:21,342 -- 01:33:26,609l mean, did l not deserve
any more explanation than
1313
01:
33:27,615 -- 01:33:29,242that letter?
1314
01:
33:30,385 -- 01:33:31,943You couldn't have
called me?
1315
01:
33:32,120 -- 01:33:35,681You couldn't have given me
some sort of chance to,
like, change your mind?
1316
01:
33:36,424 -- 01:33:38,585Don't you think
you owed me that?
1317
01:
33:43,064 -- 01:33:44,497l couldn't.
1318
01:
33:44,666 -- 01:33:45,724You couldn't?
1319
01:
33:45,900 -- 01:33:49,631You thought that little
of me that you couldn't
have just called me.
1320
01:
33:50,204 -- 01:33:52,104Why?
1321
01:
33:52,273 -- 01:33:54,605Because l couldn't.
1322
01:
33:55,443 -- 01:33:57,104Give me an answer.
Why? Why not?
1323
01:
33:57,278 -- 01:33:58,973Because l couldn't.
l want an answer.
1324
01:
33:59,147 -- 01:34:02,742Because just hearing your voice,
1325
01:
34:08,523 -- 01:34:09,785ls that what you
wanna hear, John?
1326
01:
34:09,958 -- 01:34:12,552ls that what you came
all this way to hear from me?
1327
01:
34:12,727 -- 01:34:14,126You think it was
tough out there?
1328
01:
34:14,295 -- 01:34:16,957And, what, you think it was
easy for me without you?
1329
01:
34:17,131 -- 01:34:19,361You thought that
every single day it wasn't
1330
01:
34:19,534 -- 01:34:23,402a goddamn marathon
of my life without you?
1331
01:
34:23,571 -- 01:34:25,402Tim was sick.
1332
01:
34:26,341 -- 01:34:28,332He was sick and he needed me.
1333
01:
34:28,509 -- 01:34:30,136He needed me to help him.
1334
01:
34:30,311 -- 01:34:33,439He needed me to help him
with Alan, with everything.
1335
01:
34:34,015 -- 01:34:37,041l was alone and l had
no idea what l was doing.
1336
01:
34:39,354 -- 01:34:43,290l didn't plan this. l didn't know
that it was gonna happen to me.
1337
01:
34:43,458 -- 01:34:45,585But it did.
1338
01:
34:45,760 -- 01:34:47,853But you don't think l've tried--?
1339
01:
34:48,029 -- 01:34:51,157l picked up the phone
to call you.
1340
01:
34:51,332 -- 01:34:55,428You think that l really
wanna be standing here
in front of you like this?
1341
01:
34:57,271 -- 01:34:58,829[SOBBlNG]
1342
01:
34:59,307 -- 01:35:01,434l had no choice.
