The Best of Me
All hands on deck.
Be advised.
All good. All good.
How'd you pull that off, Cole'?
Just a roughneck who got lucky.
I see that.
Hey, Mom. What are you doing?
Thinking. Avoiding the dishes...
- Nice out.
- Ifs beautiful.
Yeah, it is.
How are you doing?
Just thinking about next fall.
About leaving.
Just the rest of my life. No big deal.
You know, there are whole civilizations
that used to believe
in the stars.
You feel that kick?
Mom, are you OK'?
Man that ramp!
Blowout preventer!
Hit the blowout preventer!
Hey, buddy! Hey, come here.
We're gonna get you out of here.
Hey! Hey!
Get him up the deck.
Go!
That's an...
You're the company's
hero, Mr. Cole.
Those two men you saved
If your vitals stay stable,
you can go home tonight.
It's incredible. You were in the
water almost four hours.
No evidence of hypothermia.
The fall alone should have killed you.
It's a miracle
that you're alive, Mr. Cole.
There's just no other
word for it.
to come get you or...?
Uh, no. l'm good.
When I was young,
I looked for a shape to things.
A reason or a design.
So much of what happened to me,
though, felt like an accident.
So I guess I lost faith
in all that.
When I survived my fall,
I began to wonder
if there wasn't some purpose to
my life.
Maybe I was on a
destined path...
maven if I couldn't
see it yet.
G0, go, go, go, go!
You're looking good
in there, Michael Phelps.
Hey, hey, have you
decided on a major yet?
- Not really.
- He's thinking about finance.
- What?
- I didn't say anything.
Look, it's tough out there
and it's getting tougher.
Finance makes the most sense.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, grab me a Bud?
- Yeah.
All I said was he's thinking
about it.
Here.
You know, Pop, honestly the only thing
l'm thinking about is the beach
and what girls on the beach will
or will not be wearing this summer.
- Reynolds' residence.
- MAN." Amanda Collier, please.

in his sleep last night.
He was 92.

your friend. I really am.
But we've got stuff
going on here.
I got to be at Tulane on Saturday
for the Sigma Nu thing.
