...a person should not drink alone

after 10 p. m...

566

00:
43:17,140 -- 00:43:19,350

...unless they have a good excuse.

567

00:
43:19,537 -- 00:43:21,347

What's yours?

568

00:
43:21,654 -- 00:43:23,708

Gosh, don't have one.

569

00:
43:23,929 -- 00:43:25,520

I do.

570

00:
43:25,834 -- 00:43:28,651

My youngest left for college

this morning.

571

00:
43:28,875 -- 00:43:30,499

Marie.

572

00:
43:30,750 -- 00:43:34,027

One day she's splashing

around a wading pool in diapers...

573

00:
43:34,189 -- 00:43:38,148

...then she's packing up a Volvo

and driving to California.

574

00:
43:39,043 -- 00:43:42,079

I just hope she knows

what she's getting into.

575

00:
43:42,390 -- 00:43:43,793

Don't tell me.

576

00:
43:43,988 -- 00:43:45,800

- Premed?

- Bingo.

577

00:
43:48,811 -- 00:43:51,452

- Hey, how are you? Good to see you.

- I'm well, thanks.

578

00:
43:51,638 -- 00:43:53,470

I want you to meet

some friends of mine.

579

00:
43:53,664 -- 00:43:56,241

Alex, Mona, the Wootch.

580

00:
43:56,400 -- 00:43:57,991

- Susan, Johnny.

- Hi.

581

00:
43:58,151 -- 00:44:00,727

Let's get you something to drink.

Come on. Bar's back here.

582

00:
44:00,916 -- 00:44:02,904

Come on.

Hey, this is Marjorie.

583

00:
44:03,495 -- 00:44:05,024

Why didn't you mention it was today?

584

00:
44:05,215 -- 00:44:07,174

We would have had a cake for you

or something.

585

00:
44:07,367 -- 00:44:09,116

Oh, it's just time passing.

586

00:
44:09,302 -- 00:44:11,167

I hate making a big deal out of it.

587

00:
44:11,391 -- 00:44:13,505

You keep a lot to yourself.

588

00:
44:13,724 -- 00:44:15,746

Nothing wrong with it.

589

00:
44:16,028 -- 00:44:20,261

But I've sometimes wondered what else

you have in your life besides work.

590

00:
44:20,483 -- 00:44:22,234

Family? Boyfriend?

591

00:
44:22,450 -- 00:44:24,836

Well, I did. Once.

592

00:
44:25,213 -- 00:44:27,539

iHis name was Morgan./i

593

00:
44:27,733 -- 00:44:29,850

iMorgan? Morgan./i

594

00:
44:30,037 -- 00:44:32,153

iThat's a sexy name./i

595

00:
44:34,090 -- 00:44:36,480

Surprise!

596

00:
44:40,175 -- 00:44:42,322

Happy birthday, Kate.

597

00:
44:42,940 -- 00:44:46,436

- Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday.

598

00:
44:47,423 -- 00:44:50,033

We got you.

599

00:
44:50,190 -- 00:44:52,640

- This is Kate, obviously.

- Hi, Kate.

600

00:
44:57,131 -- 00:44:58,419

This is Alex and Mona.

601

00:
44:59,129 -- 00:45:00,039

- Hi.

- Hi.

602

00:
45:00,265 -- 00:45:02,192

This guy's gonna help us

find our lake house.

603

00:
45:02,571 -- 00:45:03,669

Right?

604

00:
45:06,408 -- 00:45:07,812

You haven't had cake.

605

00:
45:07,974 -- 00:45:10,185

iAnyway, well, I ended it./i

606

00:
45:10,342 -- 00:45:14,176

And I'm happy now,

and it was the right thing to do.

607

00:
45:14,887 -- 00:45:18,018

So who is it you write to?

608

00:
45:18,234 -- 00:45:21,148

I couldn't help... Every time you get

a break at the hospital...

609

00:
45:21,308 -- 00:45:23,948

...you're writing something.

- There is someone.

610

00:
45:24,104 -- 00:45:27,233

It's kind of

a long-distance relationship.

611

00:
45:27,542 -- 00:45:29,323

- How did you meet?

- We haven't.

612

00:
45:29,509 -- 00:45:31,039

- What?

- No.

613

00:
45:31,230 -- 00:45:33,220

- The story of my life.

- You're kidding.

614

00:
45:33,382 -- 00:45:35,652

Keep everything at a distance.

615

00:
45:35,836 -- 00:45:37,795

Everyone.

616

00:
45:38,018 -- 00:45:39,735

The man who was standing

in front of me...

617

00:
45:39,892 -- 00:45:41,516

...the one that wanted to marry me...

618

00:
45:41,736 -- 00:45:43,947

...him, I push away. I run from him.

619

00:
45:44,102 -- 00:45:46,801

In the meantime, the...

620

00:
45:46,988 -- 00:45:49,868

The one man I can never meet...

621

00:
45:50,491 -- 00:45:54,629

...him, I would like to give

my whole heart to.

622

00:
45:56,206 -- 00:45:59,083

He must write one hell of a letter.

623

00:
45:59,615 -- 00:46:01,396

It's nice.

624

00:
46:02,933 -- 00:46:04,190

It's safe.

625

00:
46:04,376 -- 00:46:06,523

- Christ, he's in prison, isn't he?

- No.

626

00:
46:06,709 -- 00:46:08,667

- You're one of those women, aren't you?

- No.

627

00:
46:08,890 -- 00:46:12,819

No, he's just a guy who lives on a lake.

He's an architect.

628

00:
46:34,021 -- 00:46:35,802

Oh, my God.

629

00:
46:41,208 -- 00:46:43,104

Happy birthday.

630

00:
46:44,772 -- 00:46:46,426

Thank you.

631

00:
46:47,076 -- 00:46:50,384

- I hope it's a great year for you.

- Thank you.

632

00:
46:52,266 -- 00:46:53,922

I'm Alex.

633

00:
46:54,910 -- 00:46:56,105

The lake-house guy.

634

00:
46:56,292 -- 00:46:58,679

Oh, yeah. How you doing?

635

00:
47:10,299 -- 00:47:11,764

May I?

636

00:
47:18,564 -- 00:47:21,317

So you're gonna... You're gonna

find us a place on the lake, huh?

637

00:
47:21,510 -- 00:47:22,705

- I hope so.

- Yeah.

638

00:
47:22,894 -- 00:47:24,120

If I can.

639

00:
47:24,338 -- 00:47:26,055

You're a real-estate agent?

640

00:
47:26,243 -- 00:47:29,918

No, I...

I just have a lake house.

641

00:
47:30,911 -- 00:47:31,947

Is it nice?

642

00:
47:32,170 -- 00:47:35,334

Yeah, you'll love it.

You're gonna rent it after I move out.

643

00:
47:35,551 -- 00:47:36,713

Oh, really?

644

00:
47:41,171 -- 00:47:44,178

Kate, have you...

645

00:
47:44,827 -- 00:47:46,848

...read iPersuasion?/i

646

00:
47:50,388 -- 00:47:51,581

What?

647

00:
47:51,770 -- 00:47:54,314

- By Jane Austen.

- I know who it's by.

648

00:
47:55,058 -- 00:47:58,127

Yeah, it's...

It's my favorite book.

649

00:
47:58,315 -- 00:48:01,380

Why did you bring something like that up?

What made you bring that up?

650

00:
48:01,569 -- 00:48:05,958

I just... A friend of mine gave it

to me recently, and I was wondering...

651

00:
48:06,485 -- 00:48:08,266

...what it was about.

652

00:
48:09,835 -- 00:48:11,728

It's... It's wonderful.

653

00:
48:11,952 -- 00:48:13,354

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

654

00:
48:13,549 -- 00:48:15,477

It's about...

655

00:
48:16,531 -- 00:48:18,248

About waiting.

656

00:
48:20,894 -- 00:48:23,184

These two people, they...

They... They meet.

657

00:
48:23,380 -- 00:48:27,246

They almost fall in love,

but the timing isn't right.

658

00:
48:27,466 -- 00:48:29,520

They... They have to part.

659

00:
48:29,802 -- 00:48:31,488

And then...

660

00:
48:31,859 -- 00:48:33,638

...years later, they...

They meet again.

661

00:
48:33,824 -- 00:48:35,941

They get another chance.

662

00:
48:37,511 -- 00:48:40,947

You know, but they don't know

if too much time has passed.

663

00:
48:41,138 -- 00:48:43,650

If they waited too long, if it's...

664

00:
48:43,838 -- 00:48:47,798

...you know,

too late to make it work.

665

00:
48:51,674 -- 00:48:53,484

Why do you like that?

666

00:
48:53,668 -- 00:48:55,419

I don't know.

667

00:
48:55,604 -- 00:48:57,783

Don't get me wrong.

It's beautiful in a kind of...

668

00:
48:58,001 -- 00:49:00,820

- No, it's terrible.
