I need to be able to imagine

something else for myself.

Well, then that's

what you want.

That night when I cried,

you heard,

and you couldn't come in, right?

You couldn't come in.

You can't take me away.

You want a family.

Look, I'm sorry

about that, Amy.

That was...

Look, I messed up, okay?

But I can learn.

I can learn what to do

if you cry.

And you'll be happy stuck in

this house, day in and day out?

Yes, I will.

Did you really go

to Mexico, Sam?

You don't know

about the road, Amy.

Where are the keys

to your car?

On the dresser.

- I don't know about the road?

- No.

But I could.

Why not me, huh?

I could take these keys.

I could go.

I could go.

Why not me?

- Go ahead, take 'em!

- Fine! I will!

'Cause you ever think

about it, Sam, who I'd be

if I didn't have all this sh*t,

who else I'd be?

You wouldn't be anyone.

Can I buy you a drink?

Sure.

The thing that's hard

about selling these respirators

is that you have to go

into hospitals,

and you can get sick.

That sounds terrible.

But I'm not.

Sick, I mean.

Not now.

I mean, if we were to,

you know,

I wouldn't give ya a disease.

I got to go.

Oh, hey, where you headed?

I don't... I don't know.

It was good to meet you.

Good luck with your respirators.

Oh, here, let me help you.

No, I'm good.

Thank you.

Oh, hey, come on!

Oh, hey, hey, hey, you know,

you shouldn't drive.

You're drunk.

I'm good.

Thank you.

I got a place to stay

if you need someplace to go.

No, I'm gonna go.

Well, hey, I thought

we were getting along.

No, we were.

I'm just really tired.

Well, then don't drive.

You having trouble

with the key?

No, I'm fine.

Thank you.

Oh, hey, what the f***?

B*tch!

You look beautiful.

Wow.

You do look beautiful.

- Are ya cookin'?

- Yeah.

You making a mess?

I'll get better at it.

I'll do it.

Here.

Hey, Amy,

what's it gonna be like

when you guys get married?

It'll be the same...

except, um,

there'll be two of us.

We'll take you for your walk.

We'll eat.

You'll watch TV.

Sam will have a beer.

Lucy will dance.

I'll read.

And we'll go to the doctor again

and again if we have to.

We'll deal.

We'll go on.

We'll keep going...

together...

because we are a family.

We are a family.

I wanted to go there

I wanted to see

I wanted to open

I wanted to be

I wanted to listen

I wanted to sound

And I wanted to miss him

I want to be found

I wanted to be there

I wanted to find

I wanted to be there

I wanted to go there

by your side

I know that you loved him

I know that you tried

I know that you whispered

And I know that you cried

And I know

that you've gone now

And I know it's all right

But it won't be long now

Until we're back in time

I wanted to be there

I wanted to find

And I wanted to be fair

And I wanted to go there

by your side

I wanted to be there

I wanted to find

I wanted to tell you

I wanted

to tell you

Good-bye
