Or the groom?

[Bell Tolling]

- What's up with this weather?|- What happened to spring?

- So, what kind of|pep talk do you want?|- What do you got?

Well, I've got the inspirational|"You can achieve anything|you dream about."

It's very popular,|but not appropriate for this.

Of course, there's the "Don't worry,|there's more fish in the sea" pap.

- No.|- Uh, we can always|fall back on the classic...

"When God shuts a door,|he opens a window."

How about telling me|I did the right thing?

I don't have to tell you.

I wrote it.

- What's this?|- It's your obituary.

- Nice.|- Turns out I had writer's block...

penning your best man speech,|and that's what ended up coming out.

Blame it on the day job.

- Twenty, right?|- Thanks.

- You going to see Courtney?|- Absolutely.

I needed this.

You know, the Greeks|didn't write obituaries.

They only asked one question|after a man died:

"Did he have passion?"

How do I look?

Like a jackass.

- Good luck, man.|- Thank you.

[Dean]|Jonathan Trager,

prominent televisionproducer|for ESPN,

died last night from|complications of losing|his soulmate and his fiance.

He was 35 years old|and soft-spoken and obsessive.

Trager never looked the part|of a hopeless romantic.

But in the final days|of his life,

he revealed|an unknown side of his psyche.

This hidden|quasi-Jungian persona...

surfaced during|the Agatha Christie-like pursuit|for his long-reputed soulmate,

a woman whom he only spent|a few precious hours with.

Sadly, the protracted search|ended late Saturday night...

in complete and utter failure.

Yet even in certain defeat,

the courageous Trager|secretly clung to the belief...

that life is not merely|a series of meaningless|accidents or coincidences.

Uh-uh. But rather|it's a tapestry of events...

that culminate in|an exquisite, sublime plan.

Asked about the loss|of his dear friend, Dean Kansky,

the Pulitzer Prize-winning|author and executive editor|of the New York Times,

described Jonathan as a changed man|in the last days of his life.

"Things were clearer for him, "|Kansky noted.

Ultimately, Jonathan concluded|that if weare to live life|in harmony with the universe,

we must all possess a powerful|faith in what the ancients|used to call "fatum,"

- what we currently|refer to as destiny.|- Destiny.

- So what are you gonna do?|- I don't know.

I guess I'm just gonna|try and find him or something.

I don't think you should do that.|I really don't.

- Well, what do you think|I should do?|- Just be here.

- I feel it.|I feel it in the air.|- Eve, what's happened to you?

You've become your own|worst nightmare right there.

Bye.

And please put a jacket on.|It's freezing out here.
