weird, bad mistake.

A weird what?

I did not want to

hurt your feelings.

- I'm sorry.

- Why?

Why are you sorry?

- I'm sorry because I... I'm...

- Why?

Because I don't want to

make you feel that way.

Why not?

Because I... I love you.

What?

I love you.

Sorry.

I... I didn't mean to

hurt your feelings.

Really?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

You shouldn't apologize to me.

You love me.

See, folks, I'm irresistible.

It's just a fact.

Everyone, enjoy their dinner.

Ah.

So Francie, why

don't you tell me, so

far, what do you think of Bill?

What do I think of Bill?

Um, well...

Um, you know what,

I actually, I'm

going to just hit the

ladies room, just for a sec.

- OK.

- Sorry.

Excuse me.

Rose.

Rose.

Yes?

Will you let me in, please?

No.

Well, I'm just going to stand

out here until you let me in.

Great.

You OK?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm fine... I'm

using the bathroom.

You can't be with

someone just because you

don't want hurt their feelings.

I can't believe you just

are busting into a bathroom

and trying to be a

hero but you really

don't know what you're doing.

And I'm not... whatever

you think it is...

I'm a very difficult person.

And I'm hurtful.

And I'm vain and selfish

and a million bad things.

I don't think you love him.

Who am I to decide, though?

You are.

You are the one

to decide for you.

Excuse me, sir, I'm

going to have to ask

you to leave the restroom.

Coming

You can't be in there, sir.

So you and Bill seem close.

Why did you even invite me?

What is up her ass?

Nothing.

Stop.

Well then, why didn't

she want to come back?

Because she's tired.

Bill, you can do better.

Francie's great.

Not that great.

We have to talk

about this right now.

No.

Feels so weird not

training for something.

I feel like I'm seizing up.

I don't even feel

like me anymore.

It's weird.

I bet.

Stop.

Stop chasing me around.

[inaudible]

What's going on in there?

Nothing.

It sounds like

something's going on.

No, it's nothing.

You ever try one of these?

No.

You want to try?

No.

First time for everything.

It's... I don't want to.

Hey, do you think I could

sue them for discrimination.

Who?

Coast Guard.

I mean, f*** them for deciding

what's too dangerous for me.

I mean, just because you can

see it doesn't mean you're

a stronger swimmer, right?

You're not.

I'm not what?

You're not doing it.

Yeah, I know I'm not

doing it, Rose, I get that.

I don't care.

Excuse me?

And I don't, uh, nothing.

Well, that's nice.

Thanks, Rose.

I don't think

you... just stop it.

Oh, OK.

Uh, f*** this.

Listen, where are you going?

Out.

This is bullshit.

Go away.

No.

I'm making a decision.

Please go away.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Rose.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Rose, I'm

in love with you.

Hey, I have an idea.

I'm going to do it anyway.

I mean, they can't stop

me getting in the water.

And if we don't tell them I'm

doing it, they won't even know.

I mean, I don't need

their big boats,

I've got you two guys, right?

Yeah.

I mean, it could be awesome.

Like man against nature,

like me against the elements.

And I'm... I'm sorry for...

for giving you a hard time.

I mean, I know this

isn't totally your thing

and you're just

looking out for me.

I just... I didn't mean

to come on so strong.

That's OK.

I was just stressed.

But I think this really

could be awesome.

Don't you?

Yes.

Look, you know that I

really appreciate what you

both have done for me, right?

Totally.

I mean, I know I couldn't

do it without you.

F*** danger, right?

Yeah, f*** danger.

Rose?

Yes?

Are you coming to bed?

Yes, just a minute.

Thanks you guys,

you're the best.

[singing]

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you for coming.

I came for Robbie, not for you.

Are you going to tell him

you're in love with his brother?

Excuse me.

Hey boys.

Boys, the News crew is here.

Hi, Robbie, Clarice

Singer with WKGU.

Ah, Clarice.

Might I say, you look

very beautiful today.

I'm just kidding around.

I'm sure you do, though.

Aw, thank you.

We'd like to do an

interview with you

before and after, if we could.

Great.

Going to make me

a star, Clarice?

That's the plan.

OK.

Just give me one second.

Bill!

Yeah.

Why don't you go get

everything set up.

I want to be ready to

go in about an hour.

All right?

Yeah, OK.

OK.

Sorry, Clarice, you've got

to keep your troops in line,

you know what I'm saying?

Bill, can you do me a favor?

Leave more sh*t lying around

so I can injure myself

before I get in the water.

Thanks.

Clarice seems nice.

She's a real peach.

Huh?

She seems lovely.

Just remember to triple

check everything, all right?

What's this?

What is this?

That's the bull horn.

All right.

Towels, gloves,

wetsuit, life jackets.

What's this?

That's the rope.

OK, well don't forget that.

I don't want anything

going wrong today.

Clarice, where do

you want me here?

Where you are is great.

Background OK?

Yep, background's great.

All of Robbie's warriors in

the background here with me.

These are the best

fans in the world.

I swear, they've been

with me the whole time.

It's been a long road.

You guys are the best.

Seriously, thank you

for being here, guys.

So Robbie, tell us what

you're doing here today.

Well, Clarice, I'm here to swim

12.9 kilometers across the lake

to raise money for the

Out of Sight foundation.

Well, how will your

blindness affect this one?

Uh, you know what,

it's a lot like golf.

Big handicap, big head start.

No, but seriously, I have a

pretty dependable navigation

technique to help

me find my way.

Hey, Bill.

Yeah?

Let's show them how

I get across, huh?

OK.

Check this out.

OK, here we go.

Left.

[horn] Right.

[horn] [horn] And.

[horn] [horn] [horn]

That's danger.

I hope I don't hear that one.

And Bill's your

brother who's going

to be rowing across with you?

That's right, that's

right... hey, Bill,

why don't you come

up here and join us.

Bill, everybody.

Here he comes.

This is my brother.

I love this guy.

You know, he's been with

me since the very start.

Couldn't have done

it without him.

You know, it's actually

Bill, who in a way,

I have to thank for

all this because he

challenged me to a diving

competition back in '94.

He won.

I hit my head on the bottom

of the pool and went blind.

So...

OK, so Robbie, how much are

you hoping to raise today?

Well, that's a tough

question because every dollar

is a blessing.

Look, we're not going

to turn money away.

If we raised just $1

today we'd be happy, OK?

We're a grateful bunch.

Bill?

Bill.

Can I come in?

Well, I'm going to stand

here until you let me in.

I think we should tell him.

Really?

We'll tell him after the swim.

Bill?

Hi.

Everything OK?

We should get going.

OK.

On your mark, get set.

Robbie, stop, you're

going the wrong way.
