- There is no "if"!

Physics is an exact matter.

The laws of the universe are absolute.

He knows.

What happened?

He said he could not

live without me.

I understand.

What about you?

You can say the same?

Professor, I was wondering

is already finished correcting the exams.

I will deliver them on Monday. Mark

me after a time.

Could you give me an indication

if I pass?

Do not expect me to remember

each note.

- It could take a look.

- Why you want to be either a doctor?

- To help people.

- How?

Keeping them alive today,

and prolong their misery for tomorrow?

It seems that Mr. Hammond

arrived late again.

There was a party last night.

He fell in the courtyard

the building of mathematics.

Can not be.

The distance is too long.

Had it fallen, would have been

in the bushes.

Must have skipped.

Am I wrong teacher?

"I'm ready to surrender."

A neighbor found

in his apartment.

The door was wide open.

I do not think most ceseguira

live with this secret.

- Why am I summoned?

- The note he left was addressed to you.

I want you to take care of it here for him.

- You're back.

- I just arrived.

I guess I was dreaming.

You know what happened?

Septicemia of porcausa

cut on his head.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Your note sounds like a testament.

All you have is resigning.

I want to give something to the victim's family.

Compensates them well.

What if you could do something for the girl?

Wish I could.

You can.

How it would be?

I did not pay for help.

Sometimes people get lucky.

They have a second chance.

Dori!

Did not recognize you. His hair grew.

Why never call?

I know there is ...

I felt ...

I felt bad for you

after the accident.

I do not know you, but it was

difficult to be by your side.

You were the one who always made

the right things.

For a while I could not

see anything good.

No matter where I looked.

Soon I could no longer endure.

I was in the city center

Rush hour in, e. ..

had a lot of noise, was packed with people,

everyone is pushing, e. ..

I was stuck, you know?

Someone hit me from behind then

I said:
Enough.

I give up.

I was standing on the corner

looking at the traffic,

Wondering how simple it would be.

Only a few steps.

Perhaps it should have happened before.

Maybe that was to be

my destiny.

I chose one person from another

across the street. To observe.

Someone ...

Somebody give me a

reason to do it, you know?

So I chose a man,

I looked right in his face and thought

how people are selfish.

Miserable and predictable.

Look, I swear he must have read my mind

because he looked at me and smiled.

That's it. Broke Fetic.

- I'm happy.

- Me too.

How are you?

Hello

- Gene Ingls, how are you?

- Hello Wade, how have you been?

Oh Gene, I'm fine. KINDA

great job in sales.

I am executive of calculations for

abastecimanto firm.

- I have been there more than one year there.

- Wonderful.

You would not believe. One day I received

a phone call out of nowhere.

The president of the company called me.

He said he heard me dem

accessor using Internet companies,

I was looking for employment.

Things could not

leaving better.

You always said that

born with the tail pointing towards the moon.

And I think that neither deserved.

You know Gene, I'm thinking about you,

in him a visit.

See how it's going in class

office supplies.

But I knew if things

were still ... you know.

Take.

Let me give you my card. Should fall

find out more for coffee.

Sorry for the delay. The meeting

lasted longer than I expected.

- What are we celebrating anyway?

- We are celebrating?

They just cut my neck.

I was fired.

I hope you pay up

the penny.

It will be a great pleasure.

For my friend's bar in the corner.

Yes, sir, for you my friend.

There are some lawyers

celebrating success

just because someone arrested.

I wonder what to say

to my son when he left.

I have enough time

to think about it.

Maybe I still think in a way

being named "Father of the Year.

Speaking of which ...

Guess who I found!

What a small world!

So he's still working

with the husband of his ex-wife?

- It fascinates him.

- Naturally.

He said that was for you

he got?

Let's say so;

There are many people in this world who do not

I have to give explanations.

Bowman is one of them smiling.

Furthermore, he believes in miracles.

Why spoil your illusion?

Perhaps you're right.

How do I know?

Patrick, my friend here will serve another

round to see if it motivates them a little.

Friend, was there thinking ...

gained in their colleague

the lottery ticket.

The child, kidnapping, the mafia

and this whole thing.

Anyway, I thought about it

and said to myself:

If there really is luck,

if it exists,

I hope to be lucky enough to recognize it

when it comes my way.

Well in that case, you can get what

and want to want what you want.

You too.

Good evening my friend.

mother's fault his father ...

He pleaded for the old

Egyptian curse.

He was already talking to him

before you get here.

You already have everything planned.

He was so vain that I had

tell him about Mickey Wheeler.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.

Mickey called me the other night.

Oh yeah? What did he want?

That you were giving evidence in his case?

No longer. It seems that the

acquitted in the case of his mother.

- Do not tell me!

- I mean, a woman can light candles in 1000,

pray the rosary every night

but before the court

can not prove that the

prayers have effect.

Or as the judge said:

"Faith is the antithesis of proof."

So you need to plumb

have faith in something.

When I was married and worked hard,

I was offered extra training,

So I went to take a course

administration in another state.

My wife and I had problems

why did not need to convince me.

The day I left, was on the street

and saw in the window.

When I came back eight weeks later,

she had already filed for divorce.

I can still see her in that window

waiting for a nod or a simple gesture.

And I always wonder how it

been if I had just ...

waved his hand, maybe not

was sufficient.

Maybe we were still together.

Maybe my son would not be a stranger today.

It would be good if ...

It would be nice if we could

sometimes see the future.

That's the problem, right?

Life only makes sense when

you look back.

It's a shame that we can only

live it forward.
