It's barely an inch when we went in.

It's so beautiful.

It's good, it's good, it's good.

I can feel my fingers.

Thank you.

But I won't do that.

I know I won't.

I'm married to a cheeser. Please stop.

Stop it.

Hey,

I have this theory.

That a girl's guaranteed to get preggers if she does it in a car.

theory too.

My theory is about moments, moments of impact.

My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity

completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

One of my absolute favorite moments.

Yeah, well, I just sort of come here to enjoy the two -hour line for a minute.

The Art Institute.

Do you work there?

No, I'm a student.

I'm Paige.

I'm sorry, I'm Leo.

Well, thank you for this, Leo.

You know, I noticed.

In a totally non -threatening way.

We have the same RPP zone.

Is that right?

Yep. Hmm.

You have impressive powers of observation.

Yes. What's an RPP zone?

Residential Department Barking Zone.

That sounds intimate.

Yeah.

Okay. What I was thinking is that I think we owe it to ourselves really

to maybe get a drink out of respect for our zone compatibility and all.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay.

Up above us we set the silver in the evening sky.

Like the gold in the river running from the deep blue night.

We're shaking the wildest ocean of the water's way.

Spilling all your darkness shining from a bottle bag.

When the sun starts coming through.

When the cold...

I believe in you and me and everything you'll ever see.

Then the dark will disappear, and then the dark will go.

Up above my feet, bed's concealed.

Did you just fart?

No.

Maybe a little.

That is so twisted.

But totally romantic.

Go ahead.

So in love with you?

It's insane.

As you know, your wife's CT scan showed intracranial hemorrhaging. We purposely

keep patients with traumatic brain injuries in a comatose state in order to

their systems and allow the brain time to heal itself while the swelling

subsides. And then we slowly wean them off it.

The thing is, each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we've ever

experienced.

With all the people we've ever known.

And it's these moments that become our history.

Like our own personal greatest hits of memories that we play and replay in our

minds over and over again.

Aren't you hungry?

Hey.

Hi. What you doing?

Uh, nothing.

Really? Nope. What's that?

Nothing. Oh, nothing.

Food's ready.

Look, if you keep feeding that fleabag, it's going to keep coming back. And I'm

allergic.

Like you claim to be allergic to cilantro?

I can't stand cilantro.

Exactly. But you're not allergic. Does anybody want strawberries I bought at

farmer's market?

Buying groceries.

Bad sign.

What? And we all know what that means.

I like her. She's like a mess, Doc.

Thanks. Thanks.

I would rather have her than that ferret you tried to make us adopt. And she

makes great coffee.

Let's keep her.

Thank you.

Have some.

Thank you.

Movie?

I think you spelled movie wrong.

No.

Told you.

I vow to help you love life,

to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands,

to speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they're not,

to agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and

to live within the warmth of your heart.

And always call it home.

Wow, you, um, set the bar kind of high.

Did you write your vows on a menu?

Yeah. Why?

I vow to fiercely love you

in all your forms, now and forever.

I promise to never forget that this is a once -in -a -lifetime moment.

And always know in the deepest part of my soul that no

matter what challenges might carry us apart, that we'll always find a way back

to each other.

We take each other as spouses forever.

I do.

And by the power vested in me by the state of Illinois, I, security,

I now pronounce you man and wife and best friend once.

You had to run for the weekend until you

had nowhere to be.

You had enough of the sorrow, and it was all on TV.

You blew a kiss, you were goodbye, and that's how you met me.

One piece.

One piece.

It's not happening.

I don't... Oh, my God.

You're going to be fine.

I'm going to have to call them. I'm going to have to call them and tell them

that I can't do it.

Come to bed with me.

Please don't.

Stop it. Okay, okay, okay.

I think this one's coming along fine.

I mean, look, I know it's not finished, but I'm already starting to see a mood.

It's got like a darkening curtain thing happening there, and then a competing

light element there.

It's abstract, but I mean, I don't know. I kind of think it's already powerful.

What?

You totally love me.

Yeah, I do.

Yeah.

I know, because this is my piece.

And that's the scrap pile.

Which I'm not saving.

A moment of total physical, mental, and every other kind of love.

Don't crowd her.

She's gonna be a little groggy, so let's just give her some space.

Hey.

It's so good to see you.

Paige,

it's okay.

You're in the hospital.

You were in a car accident.

You hit your head, but you're okay. We just kept you asleep for a little while.

How do you feel?

My head hurts.

Yeah, well, that's perfectly normal.

I'll get you something for that.

Does anyone else hurt? hurt, doctor.

Uh... Hey, you know who I

am, right?

Yeah.

You're my doctor.

I'm your husband.

Please.

Mr. Collins?

You said things were very good. A brain injury isn't like a broken bone or

laceration. Brains are much less predictable.

Sometimes, due to the way the swelling tissue presses against the skull, it can

cause some impairment. Some impairment?

She doesn't remember me. Even though she's awake, the swelling can cause

confusion, a memory loss, erratic mood swings.

What? But that's normal.

So that's... my theory that these moments of impact define who we are

but what i never considered was what

if one day you could no longer remember any of them

What are you up to?

Sleeping.

Right.

I brought you some clothes.

Thank you.

I'm... I'm kind of hungry.

Okay.

Yeah. Come on.

So, I just wanted...

To verify a few things with you about me.

About us.

Great. So we're married.

Yes. Yeah. And I have weird hair.

I think that's taking a narrow view.

You said that it takes too long to straighten. And you'd rather use that

work in your studio.

My studio?

Why do I have a studio?

You're an artist.

Sculptor. A really good one.

Right now, you're working on four pieces for the Tribune Tower lobby, which is

huge. Everyone in town wanted that commission.

But your show at the MCA's 12 by 12 was amazing.

So you won it.

What about my law degree?

I don't have a law degree?

I think you were a few credits shy.

Last time I wanted to be an artist, I was in high school.

I think you need to look at it like a win.

Dramatic brain injury? It's a win? You're an idiot.

If she doesn't remember who you are, then she doesn't remember all the stupid

shit you ever did. You can start over, wipe the slate clean.

I'm just worried if she doesn't remember you, how's she gonna remember she's in

love with you? What?

I was frankly a little stunned she went for you the first time. If anything,

you've become less attractive.

You guys are a great support system.

Seriously,

though.

What if she doesn't remember me?

Then what?

She's going to remember you.

She's going to remember all of us.

We're a family.

Excuse me. I'm looking for my wife, Paige Collins. She was right over here

yesterday. Well, it looks like they moved her up to the VIP floor.

That sounds expensive.

Don't agree.

Let's go down here and take the elevator to the second floor and make a right.

Thank you.

Paige, your long -term memory recall is intact, and I'm very optimistic that the

rest of your memory is going to improve with time. Mr. Collins, I'm so glad

you're here.

This is bizarre.

I'm Leo, Paige's husband.

Do you know how disconcerting it was to hear secondhand that my daughter had

been in the ICU for weeks and we hadn't been told?

You should have called us.

I'm sorry.

You've never met my parents?

I don't understand. Why haven't you met him? Doctor, now what is the next step?

The sooner she settles back into her life, her normal routine, the better.

And starting in a week or so, I'm going to recommend that Paige see a

neuropsychologist. Okay. Whatever she needs.

Therapies, specialists.

I'll make sure she gets the best. Well, you'll come home where I can take care

of you. Mom can make up your old room, and I can take some time off work.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, because we really appreciate that. But

just heard Paige's doctor say that she needs to go back to her normal routine.

Her life with me is her normal routine.

Yes, but that's a life she doesn't remember.

She will.

That's what her doctor just got through saying. No, what she said was that maybe

Paige will remember.

Now, why not let her come home and recover with people that she knows? And

loves. We're only trying to do the best for Paige. That's interesting, because

you haven't even asked her once. Well, no, but I... What I really need is for

everyone to just stop bickering.

Listen, none of this needs to be decided right now.

I think you should all head home, get some rest. I'm sure everyone could use

How is it that you're my husband and you've never met my family?

You haven't spoken to them in years.

Why would I ever stop speaking to my family?

It all went down before we met.

And we never talked about it?

No, we did.

So?

For starters, you wanted to move into the city and go to the art institute.

And your father insisted that you stay in law school.

He has some pretty strict views on what you ought to be doing.

Things just spiraled from there.

Okay, look, what I remember is being in law school and being engaged to Jeremy.

I don't know.

Babe.

Okay, babe, babe.

Best thing to do at this point is to go back to your life with me.

You heard what the doctor said.

The best thing for your recovery.

Okay, but I don't know you.

And I'm just supposed to get in your car and go and live at your place?

It's our place.

Without any proof of us even being in love? Other than our marriage? People

married for all kinds of different reasons. Okay, like?

Like for a green card.

I'm from Cincinnati.

Do I keep a journal?

No, not that I know of.

I guess this is all he could find.

It looks fine, honey. I mean, we're just going home.

It's horrible. Paige?

I understand you're finally leaving us.

Oh, yes, that's what they tell me.

So no driving until I give you the say -so.

But other than that, I'm going to see you in four to six weeks.

All right? Thank you so much. Thank you, Doctor.

Thank you, Doctor.

Okay. You ready? Let's go.

Wait, hold on.

I got a voicemail.

It's from before the accident.

You said you wanted evidence.

Okay. Yeah. Well, let's have a listen.

I don't know. I guess in listening back to it, it doesn't exactly prove

anything. No, no. It's cute.

I mean, I sound happy.

Okay, look.

Think about it.

You quit law school.

You broke off your engagement, and you moved into the city.

Those were all choices that you made way before you even met me.

I think that you owe it to yourself.

To honor those decisions.

At least for right now.

This is a mistake, Paige.

I promise that I will take care of her.

Come home with me.

Come home with me.

We'll figure this out together.

I guess I could just try it out.

To see if it would help my memory and... I could always come home if I changed

my mind.

I married him. It must have been for some reason.

A guarded endorsement.

But I will take it.

You look like a freak.

Thank you. Great.

Who's the president?

Of the country?

Yeah.

Obama?

Senator?

Yeah, your voter partner.

I did?

Welcome home.

Good to see you.

We were there every day at the hospital, but Leo didn't want us to overwhelm

you. Yeah, they were. Every day. We really missed you.

I gather we're... We're close?

I'm Sonia.

And this is my boyfriend, Kyle.

Hey, Paige.

And this is Jim.

You look great, Paige.

And Lily.

Hey. Were you, like, working out at the hospital?

Hey, Paige.

Oh, gosh.

I, uh...

Sorry, I... Excuse me.

Thank you all for coming.

Sorry it ended early.

It's all right.

Take care, Leo.

Are you okay?

What do you think?

I don't know.

It's a lot to take in.

No.

A lot to take in would have been coming home to a strange apartment with

a man I don't know.

That would be a lot to take in.

But coming home to all of that, plus a house full of people pulling on me and

hugging me and...

crying in my face and talking about more shit that I don't remember, that's not

a lot to take in. That's total bullshit.

You're right.

There's only supposed to be a few people.

Will you please just get out?

Paige, I'm sorry.

Are you honestly not going to leave me alone?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my mother's gonna kill me.

Good

morning.

Good morning.

What?

You didn't knock.

I have it.

I'm sorry.

It's not like you haven't seen it before. Come on.

This is not funny.

Um, you should knock.

I'm sorry.

You look nice.

Really? It's about the only piece of my clothing I feel comfortable in.

That's mine, actually.

Oh, I... No, it's fine.

What? Huh?

Well, you're looking at me like I'm some kind of zoo animal.

Sorry, I don't know. I'm just trying to figure this out, too, I guess.

You normally do all this?

This is my apology for last night.

That was such a bonehead move. I just wasn't thinking.

No, please. I'm sorry. I... I don't want you to worry about me, okay? Just go

about your normal routine and... Do you work?

Do you have a job?

Yeah, well, that's if I'm still in business.

I own a recording studio.

Cool So what what is my routine what do I what do I do all day well

Usually get up and make coffee And

then you oh no

don't that one's for me you don't eat me

Then you check emails and pay bills.

Okay. I'm betting that you don't remember any of the passwords or account

numbers, huh?

Mm -mm. So I guess I'll do that.

And then you go down to your studio.

I can take you down there, show you what you're working on.

Um, you know what? We don't have to rehash everything right now. I mean,

you go to work, and we can make flashcards later.

Are you sure?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine.

Okay. All right. Well, you look.

Phone here.

You need me?

All my numbers are on there.

Okay. Okay.

All right. Yep.

Have a good day.

What's up, Lil? Hey.

Call me in.

That guy, Pointy Shoes, he's a really bad kisser. I don't think I'm going to

keep him in rotation.

Okay.

Honestly, though, it's actually been hell.

Yesterday, we were somehow double -booked. Too many clients. That's a high

-class problem.

Yeah, but with only one studio, it's pretty impossible to take on both gigs.

Right? So Dune Advertising weren't flexible, and they re -booked over at

Soundspin. Wait, what?

Come on. That's a big account.

They should always be prioritized. You know that.

Yeah, look.

I can't run the sessions and handle account services, right? This isn't a

-woman operation.

Look, it's not like I flicked or something. Okay, I know. I get it. I'm

I'm just saying shit's slipping.

Well, I'm here now.

How's she doing?

Just getting there.

He's, uh... Look, thanks.

It'll be fine.

Okay. Good.

So you'll be at the 3 .30 pitch?

Of course.

I'm gonna head home and change and check on Paige, but I'll be there.

Okay.

Hi. Um, uh, could I have, uh, one of

these? You don't want the usual.

I have a usual?

That would be perfect. I'll have the usual.

or your phone.

Hello?

Oh, hey, Lou.

No, I know it's 3 .30. Look, I can't. I can't. I gotta find Bailey.

No, no.

I gotta go make it up.

I'm sorry. I didn't know who else to call.

Idiot, sweetheart.

Something might happen to you.

Sorry, I was lost.

Physically.

Mentally, I guess, as well.

Well, you should have called me.

Yeah, um, I forgot the phone, and I don't know your number by heart, so I

my mom, and, uh, we made a day of it, which was great.

She invited us for dinner tonight.

Dinner? Uh, okay.

Um, you don't have to go.

Well, you're...

Not a lot of drive, so I do have to go, but that's not the point.

You know, maybe I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and remember everything, but

now, they're the only thing I'm sure about.

Okay.

We'll go.

Okay.

Okay. You gonna change?

It's just a left up here at the Caldwells and then a right at the

we're six houses in on the right.

Oh, the president's got a new mailbox.

How cute.

You know, this arrangement doesn't exactly say I'm sorry that we haven't

but now that I have a brain injury, maybe you can overlook it.

You're right.

We should have gone. Forget me not.

That's funny.

Actually, that is funny.

So, uh, well, you've already met my parents, but my dad will say to call him

Bill, but he prefers Mr.

Thornton. And my sister's name is... Quinn.

I know a lot about your family, Paige.

I do, yeah.

We're married, you know.

Oh, my God, you're engaged!

I know.

You guys make a really cute couple. Oh, thanks, Paige.

Wow.

It has been forever.

Has it?

Yeah.

The weird thing is everyone looks a little bit older.

Really? Yeah, you especially.

Oh, I'm so happy to have you back.

Voila.

In honor of Paige being home, I made your favorite dish,

filet mignon.

Oh, please.

Please, sit down.

Before we start, I think this evening deserves a toast.

Darling? Well, I would like to drink to my family.

I am so fortunate to have these three beautiful women in my life, and when

all together, that fortune just multiplies.

Paige, honey, welcome home.

To family.

It's your family.

So, Leo, what about your family?

Do you see them often?

Uh, no.

Oh, that's a shame.

Both of my parents are dead.

It's just Paige.

She's my family now.

And, uh, what kind of work do you do, Leo? I just opened up my own recording

studio downtown.

Paige actually convinced me to turn it into a business.

I did?

Yeah.

Isn't that sort of a dying field?

No, I just mean, can't people record things on their computers at home and

sound just as good? Ryan.

What?

Look, the records that I like, they have life and warmth and soul.

Like the slapback on Scotty Moore's guitar on Mystery Train.

Look, you're not going to get that in your computer.

You're going to want a live room. You're going to want to bounce the tape.

You're going to want real musicians in a room vibing off of each other.

I guess to answer your question, it may be a dying field, and you can record

high -quality stuff at home.

But, I mean, come on. You can't get the sun sessions on your laptop.

I'm going to be here tonight. This kind of thing might be a little too much for

you. Oh, no, I'm good here, actually.

Isn't that Brian Ching?

Yeah,

we don't really hang out anymore.

God, you have been away a long time.

Oh, my God!

Hi!

What, man?

Hi! Hi! Hi!

Sorry, Leo, these are my friends from high school.

Santa, carry this thing.

All right.

What about me?

I don't get an introduction?

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry, this is... Jeremy.

It's been a long time.

Has it?

It doesn't seem like it.

You haven't changed a bit.

I'm not sure she mentioned it.

Leo.

Hi. Paige's husband.

Brian.

I'm going to grab a drink. Do you guys want anything?

It's a run of sour. I'll have a blueberry mojito.

Really? Yes, I remember.

Oh, my God. Paige, do you remember when we were in the ninth grade and we were

getting ready for the Christmas dance?

And we were curling our hair and it ended up burning off like half your

Like she was some sweater -set -wearing, mojito -drinking sorority girl.

Like a Stepford wife?

Yeah, basically.

She was even flirting with Jeremy right in front of me.

Ex -fiancé Jeremy? Oh, no, no, no. In her mind, it's current fiancé Jeremy.

Which is why it was probably pretty annoying to have her stranger husband

cockblock her all night.

That is a lot to get my mind around.

So, what turns her on?

Paige? No, her mother.

Yes, Paige.

You're, like, in bed?

Oh, my God, Leo.

What? It's private. I don't know.

It's kind of between me and her kind of thing.

I'm not going to judge.

It's like she's being tickled.

Seriously?

Wow. I thought you weren't going to judge.

I'm not. I'm just... I don't care if you're into King.

It's not like that.

It just breaks her down when she's stuck in her head.

Okay. You should give that a shot.

Seriously?

Yeah. What do you have to lose?

Hey, Lisa. Hey.

Paige?

Because I've been dealing with these people forever, and I know that... Um,

something important just, uh, popped up. I'm gonna call you right back. Okay.

Hi. Hi.

Please.

So, you remember...

That time at the lake when you told me you'd always have my back, no matter

what. The night in the boathouse.

Yeah. Yeah.

So can you please tell me what went down with us?

Only you, Paige, can dump a guy and come back and demand answers.

So I dumped you? A cruel, hard, pre -wedding dumping.

Well, that's a question that I and all of my friends and the two rebound girls,

yeah, we'd all have an answer to.

Come on, seriously. I must have had some kind of reason.

You... You changed.

You talked differently.

You dressed differently.

You weren't sure about law school anymore.

And you definitely weren't sure about me anymore.

Did I give you your ring back?

Yeah, you did.

Who has that now?

No one yet.

Um, but I've been with Rose. You remember from Gwen's class?

I've been with Rose for about a year now.

I couldn't wait forever, Paige.

You couldn't have anticipated that I'd have a brain trauma and forget our

breakup and come waltzing into your office demanding answers?

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry. I'm going to let you go back to work. Sure.

Sorry. I'm sorry. I was not expecting that.

I honestly didn't even know where I was headed until I found myself here.

It just seems so ridiculous to me that I shut everyone out for five years.

It just doesn't feel right.

Hey. How was your day?

It was fine.

Just happy to be home with you.

Sorry about the mess here.

No problem.

What are you, collaging?

Do I collage?

No, not that I remember.

No, you know, I was just so inspired.

Just, you know, seeing everybody last night.

Through collage?

All those memories just came flooding back to me, so I thought I'd make a

timeline, you know, of my life.

That's great.

That's a great idea.

Yeah.

I kind of rummaged through some of your stuff. I hope you don't mind.

It's fine. It's fine. What's mine is yours. I even have a certificate from

state of Illinois to prove it.

Yes, I found that. It's in the last years.

See, I started over here.

You know, I found some family photos of me when I was little, stuff like that.

That was easy to put into chronological order because I remember that stuff.

That's good, right?

Yeah, yeah, I guess so.

But what I've been trying to do is pinpoint the last memory I had before

everything just went blank.

How's that going?

I think I was at the macaroni grill, and I was asking them if they had those

special toasted ravioli.

And I don't remember the answer.

That's it. That's all. That's my last memory before I woke up in a hospital.

I don't know.

How are we ever going to know if they had toast or ravioli?

God,

this is not happening.

It's okay.

It's not happening.

Okay? No, no, no, no. Please don't do that.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Was that... Was one of the spurtings?

Yeah, kind of. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. You don't have to say it. You don't. I get it. It'll all come

We just have to keep doing what we're doing.

Let you fall back into your life.

It'll all sort itself out.

I think I'm ready to see my studio now.

Will you show it to me?

Yeah, come on.

This is the first studio you've ever had to yourself.

It's a cool space, huh?

Wow.

You weren't sure you liked it at first, though.

Until you had this idea to burn some smudge stick that you bought from some

on the corner of diversity.

We looked at this thing and we started waving it around until we realized that

it was just some old pieces of lettuce.

So we're waving around burning lettuce.

I don't know.

But it must have done the trick, though, because after that, I couldn't get you

out of here.

You would come in and crank your music, and you'd get lost in a project, and I'd

have to come and remind you that it was nighttime.

This is one of your pieces for the Tribune Tower series.

What is this supposed to be?

I'm not sure if you even knew yet.

But come here.

I... Here, just... Help it figure out what it wants to be.

Okay.

I don't really know how to use this thing.

Sure you do.

Wait, hold on.

Turn down the music, please.

I swear you used to listen to it so much louder than this. I never could

understand how you would just feel. It's a clinically bad goddamn headache.

Please turn down the music.

I'm trying to help you.

But I'm not your punching bag.

to each other like this.

This is hard for me too, Paige.

Babe? Yeah?

Hey. Hey.

I passed by that little Portuguese bakery that you love on the way home.

And I got us some, uh... Somebody here?

Yeah.

Leal?

Hi.

You know, my sister's just up to her eyeballs with this wedding, the death,

and... We've got the engagement party coming up. And we all thought that Paige

could come home and help her out. It just seems like the right thing to do,

be there for Gwen.

Okay, but what about your life here?

What about all the work that you haven't finished?

I talked to the people at the Tribune, and they were really understanding about

the accident, and Dad's going to loan me the money to pay back their advance,

so...

I don't know. I just, I can't do it.

You just come out when you're ready, honey.

Okay, thanks, Dad.

I'm sorry, just until after the wedding.

I just want you to be careful, okay?

Well, I'm not joining a cult. I'm just going to stay with my family.

I know, but... But what?

At least give you an awkward hug.

So, how are you feeling?

I feel fine.

Yeah? No dizziness, disorientation, sleepiness?

No. Great.

Well, I'm very happy, and your CT scan looks excellent.

Oh.

What a relief. Well, so, uh, your memory recall anything?

Not really.

No, huh?

That's not normal, is it?

Listen, when it comes to the brain, nothing is normal.

Because no two brain injuries are the same. Paige seems perfectly herself

That's wonderful.

Mrs. Byrne, could I just talk to Paige alone for a moment, please?

It's okay, Mom. I'm...

I'm good.

Thanks.

Paige, do you want to regain your memory?

Yes.

Because some patients fear that when their memory comes back, so will the

of the trauma. But mercifully, that's rarely the case.

Oh, no, that's not it. I'm not afraid of the accident.

So what are you afraid of?

I guess I just... I don't know.

I mean, what if I don't like the life that I had?

Or what if I like it too much? I just don't know.

I only did one psych rotation, so this may be terrible advice.

But I think you have to try and fill the hole.

You can still decide you want a different life.

But if you don't at least open yourself up to remembering, I'm afraid you're

going to live in fear of your own past.

Hey, look, I'm here.

These guys are?

Knife skills.

We think these.

Right.

Okay, Mikey, sounds amazing. Let's just go for it.

I am going for it.

The baseline is one note.

It's one note.

Okay, cool.

Take two.

Wow.

You look different.

Yeah.

Going for a Kanye kind of thing. I'm going to say more Michael Bublé, but

whatever. It's still good.

So, I'm going to be in and out for a while.

Sounds really good, Mikey.

Let's just take it from the top or the middle or wherever.

You know what? People come here to work with you, okay?

I mean, I'm doing my best, but you gotta be here.

I know.

Paige is in Lake Forest with her family.

That's where I gotta be.

I gotta make my wife fall in love with me again.

about each other.

All right, take it easy.

Countdown's on, man.

One week left of your former life.

How you feeling?

I feel pretty good, actually. I mean, I do get a little dizzy if I think about

it for too long.

What?

No, honey, it's like a good dizzy. It's like panic or excitement.

Well, panic and excitement.

are different. Honey, there's gonna be like 400 people there.

Right.

Hey, do you also have a little tingling in your fingers?

Yeah.

Is that bad?

Do you listen to Radiohead?

Uh -huh.

Tom York.

He talks about dizzy spells all the time.

He says when his fingers tingle, that's how he knows that he's creating

something genius.

And then he gets so amped up playing that he almost passes out.

Brian, it sounds to me like you're on the verge of genius.

Cool, man.

So, is

that true?

Paige?

Hey, Leo.

What?

Your hair. It looks so different.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Okay, look, so I've been thinking about something.

Okay.

What's your favorite book?

Uh, it's probably not what you remember.

That's fine. That's not the point.

Okay. The Beach House by James Patterson.

No, really?

Yeah. Okay.

The Beach House.

Okay, if it was great, you probably loaned it to somebody, right?

Uh, yeah. Quinn, I think.

Okay, and you probably...

Said to yourself, I wish I was the person that hadn't read it so that I

experience it all over again.

Yeah, I guess so.

Well, that's how I think we should look at this.

Uh, what?

You can't remember how we met.

And you can't remember how we fell in love.

And in a way, yeah, that sucks.

But it was the greatest time of my life.

I just thought how cool it would be to get to experience it all over again.

Like reading your favorite book for the first time.

Exactly.

Which is why I want to ask you out on a date.

A date?

Like two people that are just meeting for the first time.

Well, I don't know. I mean, you know, we've got the wedding coming up. But if

go out before then?

You might still be able to take me as your date.

I can't promise anything, but I'll put in a good word for you.

All right.

Yeah? A date.

So, I have an idea, but it involves going into the city.

You okay with that?

Yeah, that's fine. I just have to be back by 10 in the morning.

Oh, my God.

What? First date and you're already inviting yourself to stay the night?

What? I don't know. I'm just a little scandalized. No,

I just meant... Don't worry. I'll have you back tonight.

I mean, if you want to stay the night, that's... I mean, if you want... You

to just see how it goes? All right.

Should we get out?

We don't have to.

This is the part of the date where I find out you're not actually my husband,

but some crazy stalker, and you're going to strangle me with my purse? Oh, that

happens to be the exact parking spot where we first met.

Oh.

I'm going to take you on a little retrospective about it.

That's so good.

You ready for dessert?

Dessert? We just had waffles.

This is dinner.

We are dessert.

Well, how do you know what flavors they all are?

It's like a chocolate Russian roulette.

It's part of the fun. We'd be surprised by the ones that we liked and the ones

that we didn't.

I like that one. Here.

Try this one. I think you'll like this one.

Oh. Mmm.

Hold you.

Okay.

Your turn.

Let me go and chop the shop.

Wait till you try the hot chocolate.

We would come here whenever it snowed.

Are you trying to make me diabetic or just fat? No.

So we come down here at night and look at the lake.

That's not exactly what we do.

Um, I, uh, I'm not... No, no, it's not that.

We said that we would go in once a month every month, and we haven't done April

yet.

We started in July.

Uh... Why?

Why would we do that? We were at the spaghetti place, and we had this waiter,

and he said he did it.

I think it was like 80.

So we thought we could.

Yeah.

Now we said no wetsuits, but... I'm serious.

For you, I guess I'll make an exception.

All right.

Turn around.

Turn around!

Okay. Wait, the what's it?

The what's it, right?

Oh,

no.

Oh, no. Oh,

no.

Let's make a noise to the dawn.

Keep on moving.

When we are gone.

into first base.

I'm sorry. I can do better. My lips are still numb.

Thank you for coming out with me tonight.

I had a really nice time.

I've missed you.

I miss our lives together.

I miss being with you.

I love you.

Probably get inside.

Night.

Good night.

to be here?

Were you out with Jeremy?

No.

I was with Leo.

I like him.

Yeah.

Me too.

Are you okay?

I've never seen you like this before. I mean, is this... Crying thing the new

you because it's bizarre It

was

just like it used to be it's better actually Everything that I that I fell

love with about Paige is still there You know To you I'm sure it seemed like a

confirmation of your love or your marriage, right?

But to her, it probably seemed more like a really good first date.

Exactly, which is why I think you've got to wait the requisite three days before

you call. I've got to wait three days to call after I date with my own wife? At

least. This is a unique case. Maybe longer. It can't be longer. I'm going to

her on Saturday at the wedding. I'm telling you, it was so obvious. Even

all this crazy shit going on around us, we still belong together. Obvious to her

or to you?

To both of us.

Oh, okay.

Yeah. We have to start writing out those place cards.

You have to read.

Who's doing that?

I have a little surprise for you, Paige.

Oh?

You know Ray Porter, right? He taught constitutional law at Northwestern. He

I wrote a law review together. We've known each other a thousand years. Well,

is the dean of the law school now.

Okay. And they're going to let you back in.

I didn't even apply.

I took care of it.

This is crazy.

I feel like I'm getting a free do -over in life.

You look like you could use a drink.

I've already had some.

You haven't had this.

I'm glad we're having a moment alone.

I haven't gotten a chance to really talk to you, Leo.

Yeah.

Yeah, cool.

Congratulations.

Yeah, it is.

I've been thinking.

And I think that it's probably time to let us take it from here.

Take what?

Things with Paige.

Look, I know she didn't have health insurance because you chose to live in a

certain way.

And I know you must be drowning in debt.

I also know a way out of this.

Divorce her.

The bills have only just begun, Leo.

Mr. Thornton, I don't think this is the time or the place to discuss it.

Fine. You don't care about losing your business, which you clearly don't.

What about Paige? What about doing what is obviously the right thing for her?

And you know what's right for her. As a matter of fact, I do.

You're such a hypocrite.

What did you say?

If you're such a family man, how come I'm... I never once saw you come and try

to put things back together with Paige.

You're such a coward.

Hey, can I introduce you around a little bit?

Can't feel good to be the odd man out.

I'm not the odd man out.

All right.

You said so. You just seem a little creepy over here all by yourself.

Just waiting for Paige, man.

All right, well, best of luck with that.

You like this, right?

I'm sorry, like what? Paige leaves you behind.

She goes and has this life without you with some guy that no one gets.

And now you get to see her reject all that.

I mean, I like it a little bit.

Yeah?

Let me tell you what I like.

I like the fact that Paige told me everything about you, Jeremy.

Okay.

She told me that when she was with you, she would wake up at night in a panic,

thinking, is this all there is?

Wow.

She told you everything, huh? Mm -hmm.

Did she tell you that she threw herself at me the other day?

Did she tell you that?

Or did she stop telling you everything when she forgot who the hell you were?

Look, I get why you're being such a dick.

You obviously love her, and you think you're gonna get her back.

But the thing is, she outgrew you.

What makes you think that won't happen again?

Thank you for that advice.

I will mull it over while I'm in bed with your wife.

Leo!

Paige, wait. What the hell were you thinking?

I don't know. That's a really good question. Because I've been driving

insane. Making a complete ass of myself.

Literally trying everything possible to try to save what we have.

And you've been throwing yourself at Jeremy.

That's not fair.

It's not fair.

I see the way you look at him.

I know.

Because you used to look at me that way.

Leo, I... No, I think we just need to start being realistic.

Your memory's not coming back.

The fact is that I'm still just a stranger.

I'm not trying to hurt you.

But I'm just... I'm so tired of

disappointing you.

I apologize to Gwen and Ryan.

Oh, God, no. It's fine.

Wedding disasters have a way of turning into great stories.

Eventually.

Heidi, look at the girl you love and tell yourself it's time to walk away.

Leo, I hope one day I can love the way that you love me.

You figured it out once.

You'll do it again.

Shit. You're here, not there.

Are you okay?

I'm done.

It's over.

I give up.

You never give up, Leo.

No. If we were meant to be together, we would be together.

I was just thinking about the first time that we went to that Greek restaurant

in the corner.

There was this big banner saying, now serving soup.

I just started to go on and on about all the obstacles that the owner must

have overcome to achieve his lifelong dream of serving soup.

And then when I was finished, she didn't say anything for a few seconds, and

she just sort of exhaled it.

It was almost to herself.

I love you.

And it just hung there.

It was the first time she had said it. And I didn't even want to respond. I

wanted to keep hearing it.

It was two weeks after we met.

It only took her two weeks to fall in love with me before.

of me.

Hello, buddy.

Diane?

Hey.

How are you?

Listen, um... I know it's been years.

I was away for a while.

I never had a chance to apologize.

I was just going through a really weird time.

But, um, your dad ended it.

As soon as your mother confronted him about us. I just always wanted you to

that.

I don't mean to open old wounds, but, um, I just really needed to say that,

I'm sorry.

No, I'm really glad that you said something.

You were always a really good friend.

I just wish I could have returned the favor.

The lilies were bad, so I got sunflowers.

Dead.

I wanted to tell you. You knew.

You knew the whole time.

I'm sorry. Don't talk to me. Paige.

Paige.

Paige!

Hey, where have you been all day, stranger?

Hmm?

Okay.

I ran into Diane Kane at the store.

That's why I left, isn't it?

Because I found out.

Mom, I barely even know who I am.

And then it turns out you're lying to me.

And you've used my accident to rewrite the past?

I couldn't bear the thought of losing you again.

Do you have any idea how betrayed I feel right now?

I'm sorry, Paige.

We were happier than we'd been in years.

Oh, Mom!

We finally had you back again. Back on your terms!

No! Yes, as usual!

Paige! He cheated on you with my friend!

I was going to leave.

I was. I was all ready to leave.

And then one afternoon, I was all alone in the house.

And I started looking at all the photographs of you and your...

and your sister.

And the house seemed so full of all of us.

We were a family, Paige.

And I realized in that moment that that was the most important thing in the

world for me.

And I couldn't, I couldn't, I could not go.

So you just walked it away.

No.

I chose to stay with him.

for all the things that he had done right and not to leave him for the one

that he had done wrong.

I chose to forgive him.

Maybe Leo was right.

Maybe I can't figure out who I am and be around all of you.

Hey. Uh, I'm sorry.

Is everything okay?

Oh. Look, you two obviously need to talk, so I'm just... Okay.

Talk to you later.

I'm sorry.

What happened?

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

You can always ask me anything.

Did you know about my dad's affair?

Yeah.

I knew.

Why didn't you tell me?

There were so many times that I almost did.

But to drive you away from your family again, I just felt wrong.

I wanted your love.

It's not like that.

I think I can afford to lose them right now.

So don't.

Thanks for lunch.

Actually, there's something that I want to tell you.

Okay.

Things are over.

We're broke.

I ended the page.

No.

Why did you do that? I... I thought you were getting engaged.

Well, we were, but that was before you.

No, that was after me.

Okay, well, after you. But it was before this you. It was before the old you

came back.

Jeremy, I'm not the old me.

I'm just me.

I'm just the me that's trying to figure it out still.

I understand.

Whichever it is, the old you or the new you, I don't care.

I know you remember what we were like together. I know you do. And this is our

chance to get that back.

What we had was wonderful. Those were wonderful memories. But those were...

Those are my only memories.

Everything has to use a race.

I... I have to discover what it's like to be without you.

On my own.

Are you sure you don't remember breaking up with me the first time?

Why?

Couldn't have done it a hell of a lot like that.

Hey.

I was looking all over. I was worried when I didn't see you outside the

So...

How's that intellectual property class going?

Um... Actually, I want to talk to you about that.

I've decided to leave law school.

And I'm going to get an apartment in the city.

It's happening all over again, isn't it?

Damn it, Paige.

I've made a lot of mistakes.

Dad, this isn't about you or anything you've done.

This is about me.

Who I want to be. Who I am.

Just tell me what to say so I don't lose you again.

You won't.

Of impact.

A moment of impact whose potential for change has ripple effects far

beyond what we can predict.

Sending some particles crashing together.

Making them closer than before.

while sending others spinning off into great ventures.

Landing where you've never thought you'd find them.

You see, that's the thing about moments like these.

You can't, no matter how hard you try, control how

they're gonna affect you.

You've just...

Gotta let the colliding particles land where they may.

And wait.

Until the next collision.

I vow to help you love life.

To always hold you with tenderness.

And to have the patience that love demands.

To speak when words are needed.

And to share the silence when they're not.

To agree to disagree on red velvet cake.

And to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.

Hi. Hi.

I hope you didn't come all the way into the city for hot chocolate.

Actually, I moved back here six months ago.

I'm over in Rogers Park.

Really?

That's great.

I'm actually back at the Art Institute.

What? Are you kidding me?

That's amazing.

Yeah, I mean, I'm...

I'm sitting in on a few classes and it's crazy what my hands remember that my

mind forgot.

Thank you.

I didn't do anything.

You did everything.

You accepted me for who I am and not for what you wanted me to be.

I just want you to be happy.

Isn't there some Cuban place around here where we used to go when this place was

closed?

Yeah. Wait.

You remember?

No, no.

I wish.

No, the memory stuff hasn't come back.

Sonia and I have been hanging out a little bit and I've been asking her

us.

Really? And what has she been saying?

That she doesn't think you're seeing anyone right now.

She... It just happens to be right.

You?

Are you, uh, seeing anyone?

It's good.

So, do you want to go to the Cuban place?

With me?

Okay.

Okay.

What would you say to try in some place that we haven't been to before?

Some place new.

I'd like that.

After you.

No.

And to feel you deep in my heart.

There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more.

And to never feel afraid to look at my pictures of you.
