AMANDA & DANNY:
Bye, Dad!

JACK:
Goodbye, I love you guys.

AMANDA:
I love you. I'll miss you.

DANNY:
Mom!

Mom!

Mom, where are you?

Mom?

-Mom?

-Okay! Stop making so much noise!

DANNY:

Hey, Mom!

Mom, guess what. Mom.

Mom?

AMANDA:
Okay, Danny,

I need you to go upstairs.

DANNY:
Mom-

-But what's wrong with Mom?

-Danny, just please do it, okay?

Just go upstairs. Okay? Please.

Mom?

Mama?

PAUL:
Dear Adrienne,

in a few days we'll be together again.

I can't wait to meet Danny and Amanda,

walk on our beach...

... and spend another night in the Blue Room

with you in my arms.

But most of all,

I can't wait for our life to begin together.

Thank you for showing me

that it wasn't too late.

All I can do to repay you

is promise to love you forever.

And I do.

Come on, Danny, let's go.

The school bus is almost here.

And you're the boss of me since...?

Since right now. Let's go.

DANNY:
Okay.

AMANDA:
Come on.

Go, go, go.

Thank you.

Look, um...

I've been wanting to explain to you,

but I don't think-

Yeah, but you don't think

that I can handle it...

...because, in your mind,

I'm still just a little girl.

But I'm not.

And I know stuff.

Like what happened with you and Dad.

He told me...

...about how he hurt you.

And all that time

that I was so mean to you...

I'm really sorry.

But I do know what happens.

I do.

So you can tell me.

Okay.

While your father and I were apart,

I met a man.

I know you've only ever known

your father and me.

And I love Jack

because he's your father.

But there's another kind of love, Amanda.

One that gives you the courage to be better

than you are, not less than you are.

One that makes you feel

that anything is possible.

I want you to know

that you could have that.

I want you to hold out for it.

I want you to know that you deserve it.

You hear me?

Tell me about him.

You made this for him?

I was going to give it to him.

These are letters...

...that I sent to him

which came back to me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.
