and your wife or any one

of your kids had a gun

to his or her head,

this time,

you did have time to think,

could anyone on Earth

stop you from jumping?

- I'm begging you.

Please don't do this.

- Here's what I want you to do.

- Gavin, please don't do this.

- I never told Shana

I loved her.

You tell her for me.

- I will not do it.

- Yes, you will.

Then you go home, okay?

- Gavin, don't you do this.

Please, Gavin.

- F***.

Here.

- Gavin, please!

- Freeze.

Freeze!

On the ground, now.

Drop it.

- Do you have anyone

to stay with?

- I think I'll try being alone

for a while.

Never really done that.

- Well, at least for tonight,

like, a friend?

- I guess I'll find out.

- Look, not that I imagine

you're doubting it,

but he did want me

to tell you that...

he loved you.

- Thank you.

Both:

Daddy!

- They heard

what happened today.

The guy on the-

- It was on the TV?

- I'm really sorry.

- It's okay.

Life goes on.

- So shall we say grace?

- No, not tonight.

We don't say grace tonight,

okay?

- Why not?

- Because I'm your father,

and I said so, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Let's eat.

- Hey, will you pass me

the bread, Junior?

- Thank you for this day

We walked downtown

in our heavy coats

She held my hand

And pulled me through

The crowds

I watched her smile

As the sun burst through

The clouds

Is there still love

In this heart

Is there still love

In this heart

Thank you for this dream

Though everything feels real

Waking up

Pale and shattered

In her arms

Heavy rain

Bouncing through

her bamboo blinds

Is there still love

In this heart

Is there still love

In this heart

If I had a message

For the universe

She asked,

"What would it be?"

If I had a message

For the universe

She asked,

"What would it be?"

Thank you
