and I start going.

It says, "Make a right. Make a right."

Diana.

Hello, David.

That's... That's my shirt you're wearing.

Yes, it is, as a matter of fact.

Do you want it back?

No, it's a little late for that.

You know that was

a birthday present from Karen.

No, I didn't know that.

And besides,

there are hundreds of shirts like this

walking around Portland, David.

But that one's got a button missing

from the left collar.

Yeah. Well, I'm sorry

about this hideous mess that I've created.

And don't worry. It's gonna be okay. Just...

Tell her that what happened between us

was a mistake

and this whole thing is over.

She loves you. She'll forgive you.

It's not over.

KAREN:
David?

We need to leave.

- Oh, right, we're moving.

- Inside.

- Yes, we're moving.

- This is the last of it?

I think so.

- I'm hungry.

- You're hungry?

- What're you gonna make?

- Should I cook something?

Your famous toast?

(LAUGHING)

- Hello, buddy.

- Nice place you got here.

Yeah, you call this home?

Sorry, buddy.

All right, pull up, Eric, and Lee,

square up by the tree.

Hit me.

OSCAR:
Good one, man.

- I'm out for a second.

- All right, let's keep it going.

Good job on that.

Thought you hated sports.

Is it true, what I heard?

Yeah.

You moved out?

Yeah.

The day after the barbecue, actually.

Why didn't you call me?

Because you're married.

See my little jig there?

Got my water bottle. What's wrong?

- Sh*t.

- Yeah.

MOVER:
The dolly's

in the truck, right, Dave?

Sir?

That'll do it.

BRADLEY:
It seems like

I'm just this transition

for women

on their way to something better.

At least it was a man this time.

- I thought that might be a consolation.

- It's not.

- Sorry.

- It's worse.

(BRADLEY JR. WHIMPERS)

How do I make a change?

I can't go through this again.

Harry, I swear to God, I'll lose my mind.

Oh, sh*t. Bradley, listen.

You just gotta stay alert.

What does that mean?

Well, everything we need to know

is going on right in front of our eyes.

Yeah, we have our illusions about people,

our hopes,

and they can blind us.

But the end is always right there

in the beginning.

Kathryn said I never saw her.

Maybe I never saw Diana either.

I was just looking

for some piece of happiness,

so I closed my eyes and jumped.

- Okay, so next time...

- Don't jump, I know.

No, no, no, no, no. Jump!

Jump, but with your eyes open.

Come on, Bradley.

Go for a walk?

This way. Come on.

(BARKS)

What?

Was it just to

keep me guessing

For a means to the end?

(WOMAN LAUGHING)

Ghost

(INAUDIBLE)

(STABS)

(GASPS)

Harry! Harry! Please!

I may need a little help.

(DOORS BURSTING OPEN)

Miss? Miss? I have an injured man

who could use a little help here.

- What happened?

- He had an accident.

- No, I did not.

- He sliced off the tip of his finger.

- But it wasn't an accident.

- Bradley.

- Bradley!

- I did this to myself on purpose.

Bradley, shut up!

Hold still.

Do you mind

if I ask you a personal question?

Can I ask you one?

- Two, actually.

- That's only fair.

Uh...

You go first.

Why did you do this to yourself?

I wanted to feel,

in my body,

as much pain as I feel in my heart.

You have questions for me?

What's your name?

Margit.

Margit? Where are you from?

I'm Hungarian, from Budapest.

Ah.

What caused you this pain in your heart?

My eyes.

I had them closed for so long.

Then when I finally opened them,

(SIGHS)

I wasn't ready for what they saw.

Hey.

Do you think love is a trick

nature plays on people

so that we'll make more babies?

Or do you think that it's everything,

the only meaning there is to this

crazy dream?

(SIGHS)

The second one.

Which do you believe?

Unfortunately,

the second one.

(LAUGHING)

Do you want to have dinner

with me sometime?

Oh.

How is he?

Do you want the good news or the bad?

I don't think I can take

any more bad news.

Well, the good news is

his finger's gonna be all right.

And the bad news?

Bradley's in love again.

All right, guys.

JANEY:
Come on, look at the camera.

Hi, wave.

Hi, Janey.

Getting out of bed

Harry, I took your advice.

What advice?

I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

- And you know what?

- What?

We're gonna have another one.

Right away. Gonna have two.

That's my girl.

'Cause your love is mine

JANEY:
Say hi to the bride and groom.

Hi!

Your love is all mine

What's making you smile like that?

Looking out the window

An unusual man.

An innocent man.

An open-hearted man.

Someone who has given tremendous love

but never had it returned.

Not in the way he deserves.

Your love is mine

OSCAR:
Hey, Chloe!

This is you and me.

I've got this feeling

That we'll always

be all right

Yeah

HARRY:
You know

when two people belong together.

Oscar and Chloe knew it.

So did Bradley and Margit.

Turns out that Bradley

finally found someone

who loved him as much as he loved her.

They fit together.

It's a peculiar thing,

what happiness does for people.

He actually became friends

with Kathryn and Jenny

and Diana and David.

Bradley realized that

you can't hold someone's love

against them.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

And hut!

PLAYER:
Yes!

Go right.

- Almost got it.

- Okay...

PLAYER 2:
Don't let him

get around the outside, man.

DAVID:
I'll make a hand-off to Craig and

cross at the middle. Okay, Oscar, you...

- Hey, Romeo. You with us?

- All right.

The defender should bite.

Head for the end zone. Game over, okay?

- On "69."

- All right.

Hut!

PLAYER 2:
Get there.

Get it! Get it! Get it!

He got it!

- And that's it.

- DIANA:
Nice work, baby!

Oscar?

Oscar?

Oscar?

What happened?

Hey. Hey, Oscar.

You all right?

He's not breathing. Somebody call 911!

He's gonna be fine. He's gonna be just fine.

I'm a doctor.

You're gonna be okay. We're all right here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

He's okay.

(GRUNTS)

Okay, I've got a pulse.

Let's get him to St. Luke's.

- Get the car.

- You're gonna be just fine, okay?

Okay?

Please?

MARGIT:
Careful!

This is Dr. Vekashi. I'm coming in

with a witnessed cardiac arrest.

It's going to be all right.

MAN:
Come on, come on, come on!

DIANA:
Okay?

- MARGIT:
Okay.

- All right, go. Go, go, go, go.

Outta the way, outta the way.

Outta the way.

(HONKING)

The patient is barely breathing.

MARGIT:
Weak pulse.

CHLOE:
Breathe!

Have the cardiac team ready.

BRADLEY:
Sh*t! Get out of the f***ing way!

Go! Go!

Goddamn it!

(HONKING)

Goddamn it!

He's not breathing! He's not breathing!

- Please make him breathe.

- Come on, Bradley. He won't last.

Help! Please!

(SOBBING) No!

(MINISTER PREACHING

INDISTINCTLY)

Bradley?

Hey.

I had a feeling I might find you here.

I figured after today...

It was awful, wasn't it?

It was too sad.

Unspeakable.

God is either dead or he despises us.

You don't really believe that.

Maybe.

I saw the most remarkable thing just now.

I wandered into the stadium.

I thought I was alone,

but down on the 50-yard line

there was a young couple making love.
