I'm having some trouble hearing you.

No! That's my dog!

He's not my mailman. My mailman's Larry.

You got to help me here.

Fire in the hole.

Why didn't you say something? 

I don't like tuna fish. Am I under arrest?

These false alarms are almost more nerve-wracking than the real thing.

Maybe the whole thing is a false alarm.

You're picking a cake but haven't even decided on the venue?

I still don't understand why you guys are doing a stupid wedding.

I don't want to wear a tux.

Tuxedos are stupid. And plus, I'm way too old to be a ring bearer.

He is growing up way too fast.

His mom was pretty brave, too.

_____, we're not doing this.

It's not that simple. I'm still a probationary firefighter. I'm so close to earning my shield.

You want me to just throw away the last year of my life?

We have a life here, and family.

We are sitting right here.

Being with me is what’s best for ______.

I chose this life for a reason. 

You can choose another one.

Yeah? Well, folks got the Internet now. If they want to see dumb people doing stupid things, they can just get it for free online.

Will you quit your complaining?

I'm gonna give 'em a show.

Right now, I'm looking at a useless heap of rusted junk... and then there's the car.

Yeah? Well, if it means I'd get one single minute of peace and quiet... so be it.

I think this bitch is finally getting her revenge!

Be careful what you do, okay?

Just be quiet. Be quiet!

"She," damn it! The car is a she!

Any chance you can get me loose without cutting the hair? It's kind of my trademark, you know?

You know, this isn't even the worst he's been hurt.

Like hell you are!

Setting you on fire, now that would be a glorious blaze.

Oh, God, don't let him die, you guys. I love the bastard.

I swear to you, honey, if I get out of this alive, I'll never do a reckless thing ever. I'm done with that life.

____, you son of a bitch!

And the view.  You cannot put a price on that.

Open floor plan. Touch of modern. A little raw. I see the potential.

This would be my first place all on my own. 

Oh. I assumed you'd be living here together.

We're just not quite at that stage yet.

We're at the stage where I'm ready for his man cave to get a little more natural light.

Better than a hotel.

I mean, I'm, like, totally reeling from all that travel, but, you know, that's the life I chose.

Putting myself out there to find you guys next-level products to make you look and feel beautiful, even when I don't. 'Cause you see this?

What are we looking for, exactly?

I mean, I did just get back from Belize.

Oh. Are you sure?

It's a science project, Dad. He didn't, like, get into MIT.

I've been in his courtroom more than once.

Are you gonna take it with you?

Could be some valuable evidence inside that box.

That was it?

Hey, I got here as fast as I could. They wouldn't let me down the street.

The woman doesn't look familiar. Not her name or her face.

You're not gonna remember every attorney you've ever met.

Do you remember working an arson case about three years back?

I wonder how angry he is now.

I don't know anything about that.

He said you blew up their lives.

You’re new.

He's all alone.

Then how come no one's running in there?

Get me the captain! Where's the captain?!

He wants me. 

He wants you dead! 

Let's give him what he wants.

I'm here now.

How far away are you?

He's got parents, a sister, a girlfriend, and he never did anything to you.

Is that how you see yourself? An unintended victim in all this?

You got dealt a bad hand, and I am sorry about that. But what you did with it... that's a choice.

We were all doing our jobs.

My mom and I lost everything.

She was in so much pain.

Still with us, ____?

Just hang in there, ____-aroo.

How's he doing, ______?

A great moment for all of us.

You're a fool. But I love you too.

You-You're here. 

Of course I'm here.

And you're now the proud owner of one titanium rod and four beautifully cobalt-chromed screws.

Okay, I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you that it's gonna be all right. But I don't think you need to be borrowing trouble, not yet.

So we're into brunettes now.

Thank you for being here. 

I would like it noted that he didn't thank either of us. 

Girl, I don't think he knows we're still in the room.

Remember when working remotely wasn't even a thing?

The day I'm working from home, our damn house is on fire.

Well, if there's anybody who can strong-arm Mother Nature, it's you. 

Are you serious about this?

We weren't sure if we were making the right decision that time either. But there has never been a day I regret choosing being his mom.

You and that man are the two things that get me home every day.

A couple more footsteps stomping around the house might be nice.

I'm kidding. We own it. With the caveat that we are not allowed to flip, crash, or blow her up any time soon.

But I made no promises.

Well, it's kind of hard to fire a guy who was a hero on the 6:00 news.

Not to mention the fiery tweet-storm that'd rain down on their heads, starting with me.

Easy, okay? I don't want you to fall and break the other one.

I am just glad to be out of the hospital.

I miss my own bed... which I won't see for the next three months. Guess I am sleeping down here.

I watched you almost die.

Look, I... It's not like I didn't know you were in a dangerous line of work when I met you, you know, ten stories up of a collapsing high rise.

That was one day... one day of my life, ____. It's every day for you. I'm just starting to really understand what that means.

No, I would never... I would never ask you to do that.

Listen. I know it's who you are.

Hey. I don't know yet. Okay?

Right. What am I doing here?

I asked you if things were ever gonna be the same and you said no.

We're never gonna get back what we would have had. But maybe we could have something else.

You know, you were standing right there when you asked me out on a date, and, uh, I'm not sure I'd ever been so happy... Until right now.

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on, be careful. 

Uh, were you gonna sew these two pieces back together? -- I don't think so.

Doesn't mean you had to rip them.

I don't even know why I'm taking you. You shouldn't be on your feet, you need to be healing.

Well, this is more important. If I break anything else, they can just fix that, too, with the other stuff.

They want me to have another surgery. Uh, doctor wasn't happy with what he saw on the X-rays, so he wants to go back in and... replace the rod and do some bone grafts.

I mean, if it's just healing slower than expected, you could just wait a few weeks.

So the doctor does want you to wait. You should listen to him.

No, being a firefighter is my life. It is the, the only thing I have ever done that was important and that mattered, okay?

Without that, I-I-I don't have...

There are lots of other important things that you can do with your life.

People assume we choose this life. I'm not so sure. Sometimes I think this life chooses us.

An emergency is the absence of choice.

But in those moments of darkness...  and fear, we call out to the light up ahead, to the people we love.

We steal back that choice, and we choose each other.

Figured you'd be going home to sleep after your shift.

And if there's one thing you and I know, it's that today is the only thing you can be sure of.

I'm pulling up. I see police cars. Why are there so many?

Are you saying that 'cause you're only halfway through a shift, or is something else going on?

If you don't know how the story ends, then how do you know if you're doing it right?

_______ has more patience than I ever did.

I could've listened, just been there for them at the end so they didn't have to be alone.

And then you... you realize that the middle is the scariest part, because you don't just need help. You need hope.

_____, are you here?

This is so embarrassing.

There's a fire, there's smoke everywhere! I can't see.

That's my wife. You got to let me through.

She's alive. Now, go with her.

I knew you'd come and save us.

Ooh, what do we have tonight?

Oh, well, on the menu this evening, we have a fine range of assorted vegetables, pulled fresh from the midland soil by people who then sold them to me for money.

Thank you for this food.

I don't want to.

We'll see him soon. I promise.

I love you so much.

Why did you bring me back? I was there! With them!

We'll walk him out. 

And keep his name off the damn radio.

Pick a day, I'll point you to ten church basements. You'll see some familiar faces.

They cleared me. I don't want that.

You want to be punished? 

Your punishment is that you lived. Now, make it worth a damn.

When I first came here, I was alone. No friends, no family, no higher power.

Imagine... you're by the ocean. You walk out into the waves. You hold out your hand, and you say, 'Stop. Be still.' And if the ocean obliges, congratulations, you're God.  And if it don't, sit down, shut up and accept how powerless you really are. Or get drunk.

I'm not real good with speeches, and I'm- I’m less good with praise, but I'm alright with gratitude.

Ooh, Chicago's gonna kick your ass.

Hey, there's a whole lot of Little Leagues out there, but if you ain't the Yankees, you're just not playing baseball.

Um... it's a different world.

You been making your meetings?

Oh, sorry. Did I keep you long?

That man has had a ridiculously busy month.

Did you have a bad day? 

And you don't get to have those? 

I don't deserve to have those.

There aren't enough candles in this church for the people that I hurt. 

But I made a promise, and I've got a plan. A way to make things right.

And until then, you don't get to be happy? 

I don't get to forget. And for a moment, I did.

In my experience, there's only been one person who was good at multitasking from a cross.

Now, if you want to help people, take this back... and earn it again.

Well, it's worse than last month. Which was... Worse than the month before that.

Babe. We're gonna be okay. We'll figure it out.

What? You afraid I can't keep up with the dinner rush?

Okay, honey. Get your stuff together, we're going home.

You are gonna learn to respect the chain of command, _____, or you're not gonna work here anymore.

Screw you. 

Yeah, I guess I got my answer.

Did one of you polish the pipes on the engine, or do you delegate that to a probie?

Sorry. I was just trying to make conversation.

Which is why I would have given him a second chance. He didn't want one, at least not from me.

That's... gracious. 

I like to think of it as fair... which I do try to be. Hopefully, you'll learn that as you get to know me.

Laying in bed, trying to sleep and then I started thinking, "when it rains, it pours."

Typically, these things are electrical. But the breaker's untouched.

I'm a hypocrite. 

I hate to break it to you, but I'm a sinner who wags his finger at other sinners. So, welcome to hypocrisy.

Good man, good father. Just in over his head. So, he burned down his family business, for his family.

Strings were pulled to get me this job, details were left out, and I allowed it to happen.

Grace is not something that you earn or deserve. It is a divine gift.

And I'm just supposed to accept that?

Can we talk?

I... I just thought a... big check from the insurance company would give us another shot.

He was thinking of you. He was thinking of both of you.

You're supposed to save people.

You're supposed to save them!

He called me a liar. And it stung.

By your own admission, you're a hypocritical liar who lies a lot.

Well, that's because it's funny. But it's also true.

I ask for their trust, and I can't give it back in return. You don't have to tell them what you've done in order to show them who you are.

Family dinner? I’m in.

Hey, _____. Why are you sitting up here in your civvies? And how come I am not smelling my breakfast?

If they knew all the details, there's a very good chance they never would've hired me.

Well, I knew the truth would catch up to me one day. I just figured by the time it did, it wouldn't matter. I'd have nothing left to lose. I was wrong.

I understand. I just want to tell the truth.

Bye-bye now. Have a great day.

This is really just too much.

Oh! _____, you startled me.

Did you change your hair?

I understand we're gonna be missing you around here.

You know... if you're gonna take over for old fussbudget, you should probably stop flirting so shamelessly with your delivery guy.

Can you tell me what's happening?

Does he have any allergies or medical conditions?

He eats better than I do. He's-he's pescatarian.

You've seen that before?

How do we open this?

Yes, sir, I'm here.

I don't have time to wait for a locksmith.

He, uh... likes me. 

Well, like him back.

Okay, yes, sir. I'll take a breath. I'm breathing. -- Should I be breathing?

If we're compromising their safety in any way, you got to let me know.

No, stand back!

Seriously, it was like a bank robbery with no robbers.

Excuse me, you want to tell me what's going on?

Looks like our money trouble is over.

You care to explain?

He'd been giving her some grief about it.

You want me to tell him that?

We're like a family. I mean, a big, messy, extended family, but we take care of each other, we support each other. You know? We have each other's backs.

You think they did what now?

And everyone figured you knew what you were talking about.

It was part of my training. How to spot it. How to respond.

I was trying to help a friend.

Hell, they're all my friends.

I don't really know him. 

Someone said I seemed stressed? Who?

Cranky. I said she was a little cranky that morning.

Should we even be doing this?

_____ said he didn't want us to make a big deal about his first day back.

I'm just saying, maybe we should respect the guy's wishes.

Okay, you know what we're not doing? Respecting wishes. We're hanging a banner, we're having cake and we're gonna show him how much we love him.

Ah, there she is. Good as used.

Don't tell me that, _____.

Ah, this is festive. Need a hand?

I finally took my crazy sister's advice, I went to see her acupuncture guy.

You went alternative medicine, ____. I'm shocked.

But he then recommended me to a kind of witch doctor. You won't believe what he put me on.

I'm not too late, am I?

You're right on time.

Yeah, but this time he only got stabbed.

I imagine it's hard.

You're the only person I know with a job cooler than mine.

Yeah, kids in general are expensive. But they're worth it, right?

Yeah, o-okay, maybe I picked up a few extra shifts here and there, but it's not a big deal.

It's under control. Don't worry.

Every time we talk about money, you tell me not to worry.

I've got two full-time jobs, firefighter and dad. I don't have time to plan a robbery.

Six weeks at home, guy like you, what you do for a living, you must've been climbing the walls.

Sounds like you had a lot of time on your hands, to think. To plan?

No one on my team would do this. I am sure of it.

But I trust him. I trust his gut.

Or maybe you were providing a distraction so one of your friends can do a different kind of job.

I don't know what happened.

I thought he couldn't leave the truck.

Look, I was scared. I did not know they were gonna rob the truck.

I'm so confused. Can you start over? 

You sure about this?

That's what us bank robbers call the money, the "dough-re-mi."

How are you feeling? 

Like it never even happened.

He was really worried about you.

That's why I'm here, hoping to jog my memory.

He was always talking about these stories he heard.

Maybe it's lucky you guys were unconscious. You don't remember being locked inside.

Would it be okay if I took a look in there?

Hey, you okay?

Stay calm. Stay calm, sir.

Can't believe we missed that. 

Maybe we didn't miss anything.

Ugh, I hate this case.

Nothing about this case has been that easy.

I thought Dad was picking us up.

Your father and I are going to have a very busy day today.

Fresh coffee's in the kitchen. 

You were expecting us?

You think I'd spoil your surprise? 

It ain't my party.

Hey, you know how long it took me to get those color coded?

Calling a lawyer? 

I am ordering an Uber. I still have to work today.

I mean, I know it ain't easy, but you got to let the wheels of justice do their thing.

What are they thinking? He-He's robbing banks and playing Minecraft? We were trying to save ____.

Thank you for that, by the way.

You'll never believe what they found.

I know who did this.

Well, you know how we operate.

That alternative medicine still working?

Is that the guy?

So let's see if I got this right.

Crime is hard.

You're in danger!

He was supposed to be in there alone.

Where you going, _____?

No, I swear to you. I...

What? I didn't kill nobody.

You can make this easier on yourself. Just tell us.

So where are they?

Cause of death: greed.

Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

Uh, I should go. 

I'd rather you stayed.

We have a lot of questions.

Just one minute, now. You need to explain yourself.

It's better than the pictures, Dad.

This was her dream house.

I just wish she was here to see it.

Nice. You should totally rent that apartment.

You sleep in my dining room.

But then I remembered something a wise man once said: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Don't mock me. I'm convalescing.

Anyways, Ferris Bueller only had one day off. I have weeks of free time, and I'm determined to make the most of it.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to determine if this shirt sparks joy, and I did, and it doesn't.

I will still see my therapist. I'll go to my support group, but I have to start putting little pieces of my life back together, and work is a very big piece.

It seems like, maybe, you're moving too fast.

I'm sick of resting, I'm tired of talking about my feelings, and I just want to go back to the real world.

No. ____ is coming over here to pick me up, because she is a modern woman.

And also, I'm pretty sure they couldn't get the bloodstains off that brick.

Oh, he takes these talks very seriously.

These tickets are harder to get than Hamilton.

He's pretty badass.

Look me in the eye.

Everyone is checking on me. I would tell you that I'm fine, but you probably won't believe me, either.

Hope you have a good plan for the man that almost died for you.

_____, you do realize we work here, right?

You ever seen a breakdown like this before?

Department's held together by chewing gum and spit.

We did it this way for 20 years. We'll do it again today.

Okay, this might be a better show.

Sure you don't want to take another three weeks off?

So you think we've been hacked?

Please tell me it's not bad. 

On a scale of one to ten, it's about a 40.

Where the hell have you guys been?

God, I hate that word.

That's all right. You're doing great, okay?

Baby's got a set of pipes.

Sudden despair and fear and anxiety.

He's perfect. I wish you could see him.

I am damn sure not ready to do this without you, but I will. I'm gonna figure it out.

She's got a pulse.

That was a miracle.

Great little Tuscan spot. Has a garden that's not really a garden, so you still feel like you're sitting outside. Also, string lights.

Rachel McAdams special or Reese Witherspoon special?

I don't think that I know the difference. 

Fun and flighty or serious and heartfelt?

Well, that’s not surprising. 

Pretty sure, if it were a malware attack, I would have found it by now.

We're back out there in five minutes.

What're you doing here?

We had a fight. He was so mad. Then I ran away.

How did you find me? 

Next time, don't tweet from your secret location. Get in the car.

I was gonna call you. We'd just gotten back.

Well, then let me fill you in on actually what happened.

They decided that it would be fun to set a fire and then try to put it out. Because fighting fires is so cool.

I don't think I need to tell you the ways in which that could have gone horribly wrong.

You've done enough. 

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

He used to care about video games and sports and-and comic books.

And ever since you came along, the big damn hero, making him feel like your kind of life is the only one worth having. Filling his head with reckless ideas.

What we do here is not reckless.

I get it, _____. You're awesome. More awesome than me.

That is not what I'm doing. I'm just trying to be there for ____.

Because I'm not? I'm only with him half the time now, right? Maybe that makes me half a father. It's still half more than you.

I'm trying to find additional resources for you, but you might be on your own for the next 15, maybe 20 minutes.

Help! Help! You got to help!

I feel like, if I ever did that, you would yell at me.

I got him. Alive but unconscious.

What's up with the Spider-Man routine?

I don't know. I just did it. And prayed a lot.

No ransom, no revenge, no terrorism. It just... Broke.

I don't think I have it in me to cook. We should order something.

Surprise, I'm making dinner for you.

What did you do?

I didn't make a reservation. We talked about it all day, and I never picked a damn restaurant.

I just need to leave what happened, behind me. I'll never would be able to move forward.

When people breaks a leg, you know one says, just walk it off." Because everybody knows that ignoring an injury only compounds the damage.

But are you letting yourself feel it?

Pretending you're not hurt, it's not the same thing as healing.

And I'll bring in a backup. But, you know, there's a reason it's a backup.

Equipment breaks, we don't. 

Now, that's a T-shirt. 

Hope it's not a bad time.

You want some coffee? There's pie.

I'm sorry. I was out of line.

I shouldn't have lost my temper like that.

All right, but listen, if I'm overstepping... I'm sorry. I will back off.

Look, he's ten. I think that he was just impressed by all the shiny trucks and equipment.

But he was mad at me today, and he ran here, to you.

I'm not the guy who tells him to finish his homework or grounds him because he's done something wrong.

I am always trying to win them over, trying to be their friend, not their stepparent. 

Are you sure you don't want a piece of pie?

I've been trying to figure out a way to tell her.

Yeah, that's maybe not the best way in.

For the last three days, I have been feeling like a damn fool, and-and... and then I started acting like one.

Well, that wasn't my finest moment, either. You struck a nerve.

The reason that I don't put my foot down with your kids is that I'm always afraid they're gonna tell me that I'm not their father. Because I'm not. I'm nobody's father.

But you're about to become a stepfather. So we have got to work on your bad-cop routine.

Guess maybe next time, I should pick the restaurant, huh?

We could just stay at home and catch up on some sleep.

All I want to do is sleep. I just want to pull the covers over my head and-and wait until the world makes sense again. But I know I can’t do that.

This is never gonna be the same, is it? Whatever it is that we were about to have, or... We're never getting it back.

We're not saying goodbye. We just need a minute.

It's me, it's _____. I'm here, okay?  I just need you to stay with me, ____.

All of her stuff is still here.

Greatest love songs ever written. ( Chuckles ) And every one of them reminds me of you.

I am, it would appear, the heart surgeon that stole your heart.

I'm really proud of you.

No, no, put away those Two-Buck Chuck glasses. An occasion like this requires something more distinctive.

Accidents happen, right?

My mother always used to say that an accident is just an opportunity to learn.

Is he dead?

I didn't want to hurt him. I liked _____. We were friends.

I needed to make sure you were safe.

Can you just pull over? We can talk.

There is no coming back from that.

I got here as fast as I could.

She was alive when he took her, and that's what we're gonna hold onto right now.

Sorry about this, buddy. 

You're not supposed to be in here.

You know, ____ didn’t believe me. He said no one could be that stupid. I said, "You don't know ____."

So... that was a bold move.

Oh, no, I know what you were thinking. I got sisters, too. Still not sure how you thought you were getting away with it, though.

I wasn't worried about that.

Those rules, they don't apply to me, right? 

Then why are you in hospital jail?

I said that she didn't need to keep on running, that she could start over here, that she would be safe. That I would keep her safe.

This isn't your fault.

Okay. Let's go. The car's out front.

Not yet. But the night's still young.

This isn't my case. I'm just a concerned friend of the victim.

Here are the ground rules: You don't leave her sight, you don't lie, you don't withhold any information from her, you don't break the law, and you don't do anything that's gonna force her into early retirement. You got it?

I can't imagine my life without you.

You see? Never give up hope.

Hey, where you going?

I said back away.

A vacuum to stop a baby crying? I missed out on all this.

Wow, uh, he went all out, huh?

He always puts his heart into everything.

I needed to get some coffee. Then we thought, you guys probably need some, too.

Ah, we haven't met, but I love you.

We brought food. Got you a bear claw.

We'll tell him the truth. Whatever that turns out to be.

You know, he was worried, so he wanted to come down and make sure everything was okay.

He was worried about you.

Do I want to know how she obtained this very important information? 

Let's just call it an anonymous tip and not look any gift horses in the mouth.

My gut is telling me not to count your sister out just yet.

_____ didn't just rebuild her life. She rebuilt herself.

I don't think he has any idea who he's dealing with now.

We have to get off this road.

Do you think this was my fault?

You must think I'm an idiot.

That's what I do. I help people think clearly in a crisis.

I heard you had another surgery.

I guess I’m catching up with you. 

Does your dad know you're in here?

I wasn't worried. I'm starting to think he's invincible.

Don't eat the meat loaf. That's how I lost a tooth.

Well, that and I remember what it was like to live at a hospital. Uncomfortable chairs, terrible food.

Guess he thought he could handle it on his own.

Alright, I guess I'll make us a fire. Give us some warmth.

I'm trying to impress my wife, and they're down there flirting with her.

What is it with women? They get all weak-kneed over a man in uniform.

Yeah, I guess I'm a man in uniform, too, huh?

It's a warm night for a sweater.

Don't be afraid to run. Be afraid to stay.

I'm such an idiot. I'm the one who put her in danger.

How could I not see it? 

Because psychopaths don't generally announce that they're psychopaths.

You don't have to lie to me. I know what he said.

I didn't give up.  I... I didn't give up.

What if you didn’t have to?

Now you can grab your glass, you can use the remote, talk on the phone, all while you're still snuggled up in your warm and cozy blanket.

I think you need to ask yourself what it is you want to do with your life.

This kind of feels like it's therapy.

You're ______, right? I've seen you here before.

My buddy manages the place. I just help him out from time to time.

Sounds like you know a bit about business yourself.

Hey. Uh, shots are up at the bar.

What are you, flirting with the busboy?

I was being nice. It must suck to be him.

I'm sure the next idea will wow them.

I mean, seriously, shouldn't I have, like, by now, had some kind of moment where I felt like, "Yeah, this is it"? This is the thing I'm supposed to do.

Most people just want a job they can stomach, that pays well enough, you know? Decent hours...

You know how many jobs I've had. Probably over a hundred. Nothing's stuck yet.

Yeah, that's because if there's one person I know with less direction than me, ______, it's you. 

Yeah, you’ve really been a terrible influence.

Fire captain said it was a miracle that everyone got out alive.

I'm small, but I'm fast, evidently.

Everyone is just freaking out. Everyone except ______. He's totally cool. I mean, he actually takes charge. 

I've never seen him like this before.

I just did what I felt I needed to do. 

That's the very definition of a hero.

I applied today to join the L.A. Fire Department to be a firefighter.

And I feel like this is something that I've been called on to do. Does that sound corny?

Actually, the recruiter said that the fatality rate's less than 0.3%. So, statistically, we'd have to be on the job for over 300 years before we're likely to die in the line of duty.

Are you out of your mind?

Physically and mentally, you'll be tested as though your life depended on it. Because that's the business we are in. Life and death.

If you feel the slightest glimmer of doubt about your ability to make that kind of commitment, then I suggest you head back out that door.

Remember science class?

I love this stuff.

I didn't think you were gonna like that.

Nobody wants their firefighters showing up on time, they want them early.

Uh, pretty boring stuff. Uh, jumper, uh, five-car pileup, couple of gunshot wounds, you know, the usual.

It's crazy, right?

You still here?

Help me, please, somebody please help me, please!

When did the pain start?

We went to brunch and then we had a walk on the beach.

Bits of everything. Yeah, that's how you do it at a buffet. Right? Little of this, little of that. Before you know it, you've tried everything.

So you started to feel the pain in your chest, and then you started to panic, right? Panic attack can look a lot like a heart attack.

You are my angel, come here!

Hey, guys, weirdest thing happened today...

Hey, wasn't your girlfriend supposed to come and cook us dinner?

Right... of course. You know what? Sorry to bother you.

No, I'm okay, ______. I was just calling to check in.

I know. He's a very, very busy man.

He's a jackass. I'm sorry, I shouldn't be calling him names.

No, no, no, no, no. I like where this is going. Please, continue.

Your mother was so vibrant. So full of joy. I just, I never understood how she ended up married to such a colorless man.

I miss her.

It wasn't pity. We took you in because we love you, _____. You're family.

Hey, man, let's build a bridge here, huh? 

Come on. What about movies? I've seen them all.

Sports? I can tell the difference between a home run and a touchdown. Kinda.

Tell me what your thing is, and I'll make it mine.

Let’s just be cool here, man.

You know, I'm told I have formidable people skills, but you just really don't like me much, do you?

But you can stay here and play butler or, you know...

No, no, no! Put me in the game, coach. I'm ready to play.

Fair warning, this is a "careful what you wish for" situation.

This job is science meets rock and roll. If we don't improv, people die.

You're not dying, sir, you're gonna be just fine.

You having fun? 

I can see why they don't put this in the brochure.

It's not personal, you know. 

They're not gonna just give you their friendship until you earn their respect.

You don't name a puppy until you know it's gonna pull through. 

When I saved that girl at the bar, for a second there I felt, maybe for the first time ever, not heroic, just... useful.

I never saw myself old, with a family, so I figured, what the hell, live fast, die young. Pull some folks through a burning building in slo-mo.

I mean, when you come out of that building, you got to give 'em to me. And if I let 'em die, then all that... all that effort, all that risk, it was for nothing.

Yeah, but for you, it's-it's not about the rush anymore? You know, the thrill?

If that's the question you're gonna ask after that, I am sorry in advance for the lesson you're gonna learn.

Thank God you made it.

Stay right there, do not move! Stay there!

Hey. It's good to see you. Wasn't sure you'd be back. 

Didn't have anywhere else to go.

I work in the fitting room and no one... and I mean no one... Ever folds their clothes.

Hey. Part of the job is learning to love terrible coffee.

Well, I got to say, for a guy who huffed gas and got dragged out of a burning building, he looks better than you do.

But you know that's not the hurt I'm talking about. 

You're right, this coffee sucks.

The things that can't be treated with ointment and a splint are the things that'll kill us. The guilt, the loss, the images... We can't drink or sniff or screw them away.

You got to let that ego burn away, man. You are not that powerful.

We treat the wounded, we hand them off. These doctors, they do their job, they hand them off.

But we hand them off so that we can pick up the next guy. And at the end of the day, maybe ourselves. Because if we don't...

But first, better coffee... And a decent breakfast, on you for the sage advice.

Alright. You have your wallet, right?

It's good to see you.

I knew my boy. When he was sad, when he was happy. I had never seen him happier.

All you did was help him find his purpose. 

I don't know what I'm gonna do without him.

You have no earthly idea what is about to happen to you, do you?

Will your husband be joining us?

You are on fire with that sassy new haircut.

This is just the next chapter in ______'s fresh start.

Oh, is that what this is about? I'm thriving, and you can't handle it.

Your trash talk sucks.

Why is it that every girl you date wants to either flee the state or the country?

What’s your excuse?

Except, ooh, you want to date him.

I mean, we like the same things, we laugh at the same jokes. Even better, she laughs at all mine, and I'm not even that funny.

You don't think she's seeing anybody else, do you?

Come on, man, no hook-ups? No foreplay, nothing?

Right now we're all awkward hugs and funny glances.

Well, that's the thing about me. I'm bad with hints. I even suck at Pictionary.

You know you've been singing the same sad song about this woman ever since we started coming here?

I want the real college experience. Tailgates and football games. New scenery.

You want parties. University of Miami is a party school.

I don't want parties, I want a fresh start. A new beginning. That's why people go away to college, to leave behind the lame-ass they were in high school.

Honey, who called you a lame-ass?

Don't let her die. Please.

He's not missing anything!

I don't understand why your mother would reorganize the entire kitchen while we're at work. 

Oh, she said it was impossible for her to find anything in this kitchen.

So she retaliated by making it impossible for us to find anything?

Ooh, the dress is lovely.

That boy has you wrapped around his finger.

No, not in a minute. Now. Please. 

Who are you to give orders? 

They are not your children, and you are not their father.

If she wants to stay in this house tonight, she does.

I'm sorry I said that in front of the children.

You shouldn't have said it at all.

It is none of your business.

I am tired of you deciding what's my business, _____.

You didn't tell me you were seeing this man, much less that he proposed.

I would have wanted to help. 

You never want to help. You just want to tell me where I screwed up.

Sometimes I think it's a miracle those kids are alive...

Okay that’s enough.

Sir, with all due respect, I have to say that your daughter is an amazing woman and a damn good mother, and she does not deserve to be spoken to that way in her own home.

You called 911?

This is a little embarrassing, but my son here, he got himself into some trouble, and now he's grounded, and apparently that constitutes a life-and-death situation when you're 13 years old.

I can't tell you how sorry I am that we wasted your time.

Are you sure that everyone’s okay?

Although I know somebody whose grounding just got a little bit longer.

Sorry to have bothered you.

And you think there was more to it than that?

Well, why don't you request a welfare check?

And stop questioning your instincts.

Oh, you got to be kidding me.

Can't believe they really sent someone out for this.

I'd like to speak with him if I could.

I want you to know you're not in any trouble. I'm just here to make sure that you're okay.

Because if you're not... If you need help... All you have to do is say so.

I'm okay. I was just mad.

Please, you just have to tell my dad that everything's okay.

Our parents' approval is something that we all crave. We just can't let it stop us from doing the right thing.

If you in trouble, you can always call for help, or if you need some help trying to figure out the right thing to do, you can call me directly.

Stay here, don't touch anything.

Well, your gut's good enough for me, but, um, there's no reason for you to be sitting out here staring at the man's garbage.

Me and my guys can handle this.

I'm sure you'd rather be home with the family.

My mother's in town. She said she's leaving, but she can't seem to find a flight out.

Anything in particular you think we should be looking for?

Just let me know what you find.

I figured I should stay out of it, but then...

She named her daughter after a Greek god.

So child-rearing was less about raising a daughter and more like training a warrior.

Well, what am I supposed to do, just forget it? Just forget all the mean things she said to her?

Divorce papers? This feels so sudden.

Yeah, I know it's a risk. But the only way I'm ever gonna feel free of him is to be free of him.

Okay. If you're sure, then, uh, I'm here for you, whatever you need.

Actually, I'm kind of busy.

She asked me out on a date.

Wow. I guess I was wrong about her.

Uh, sorry again. So, drinks are on me next time I see you.

I'm sure we'll be seeing each other real soon.

And probably what's not got you so excited to call me down here.

That could be, but I think something else is going on here, just not sure what.

I should have said something when you came to see me. I was just so scared.

I know, baby.

But I really am trying to do the right thing.

I knew it was a lie.

We left while he was asleep.

Oh, no. He found us!

Very disappointed in you, ______.

This right here is your stop.

Don't worry. You're safe now. I got you.

The mother had a panic attack when she saw them. She thought they were there to make a death notification.

He's not my dad, is he?

Does she have curly hair?

He said it wasn't real.

They may remember me, but I don't remember them. Not really.

They're your family. They love you either way.

We saw you on TV. On the news.

Are they gonna be okay?

He's been through enough.

Okay, looks like we're ready to eat.

I never knew why you wanted this job. Maybe I get it a little more today.

I know you think I don't understand your life. But you never understood mine, either.

I met a man, fell in love, made a home and raised a beautiful daughter who ran away from us the first chance she got and hasn't stopped running since.

Or will I live long enough to discover you've completely turned away from me?

I needed to find a place with space big enough where I could build a life that was important to me. I want you to be a part of that. But only if you can accept all of it.

I love you, baby, but you're making a terrible mistake. And I worry that the next time your life falls apart, you won't be able to put it back together.

_____ , we can't find him.

It's like a nightmare. Except I never wake up.

Every year. People flock to his house and take pictures. Never our house.

It's not fair. I worked just as hard as he did. 

What does he have that I don't?

He's bribing them with free food. Go make some cookies. 

Let it go, ______. Christmas isn't about competition. Just be grateful for what we have.

No. I have a better idea.

We got hot chocolate, hot cider and everything.

You want to see something good? Get a load of this!

You looking? You looking?

Oh, looks like the baby Jesus broke your fall. That's a Christmas miracle.

Oh, look, _____, you finally got your wish. Everyone's taking pictures.

That knot is the same size it was ten minutes ago.

Well, maybe you'll have better luck with your next project. 

He has been talking about nothing else for three months.

Been hiding it in the garage.

My brother was a madman. He'd throw them way up in the air, then he'd laugh at me while I freaked out, running around, not knowing where they were gonna come down.

It's getting pretty late, so... 

Maybe you could just sleep over.

Know what would be even better?  If you didn't have to sleep over at all 'cause you already lived here.

I just, you know, I get tired of having to say good night to you at the door and tired of sleeping alone in a bed made for two. I want you in my life.

You just... you just took me by surprise.

Look, I'm not trying to give you an ultimatum.

I just wanted you to know that I was open to taking the next step.

Looks like you're stuck with me again. Sorry.

I have an air mattress waiting for you.

You saw this coming?

We suck at this.

The annual tradition of convincing him that, no, a 16-foot tree does not fit in the house.

But we didn't have enough ornaments to cover it, so we just loaded it up with lights and ribbon. And I got the sleeping bags out, and we laid under it, just staring up at the branches for hours.

You know, he still won't tell me what he wants for Christmas. I've tried everything.

Look, just because you got scared and threw up all over Santa, that doesn't mean...

First off, yeah, that was very wrong of my abuela to tell you that story.

I'll distract them. You-you head out the back.

Did you have company?

Oh, you know, I'm not the best housekeeper.

I need you to try and stay awake.

Wait. Did you guys hear that?

I see him. He doesn't look good.

Alright, get some blankets on him.

Well, someone really wants to talk to you.

I look like an ornament. 

Better on the tree than under it, right?

_______. What are you doing here? 

You won't answer my texts or return my calls.

We can actually have a conversation that doesn't end up with us in bed.

I can't do this here, not now.

Does he know that I'm here? 

I didn't want to confuse him.

You seemed pretty sure when we started having sex again.

I thought it was a reconciliation.

Whatever I need to do to prove myself and to fix things, name it. I am there.

I'm the one who screwed up, the one who left. I know I don't get to have a say.

When will you be able to forgive me?

I can forgive you. I'm just not sure I can trust you.

You love him. 

You're moving forward.

You know, things have been going so well lately that, um, I kind of let myself forget how complicated all this is.

When he's here, I'm joyful, when he's not, I'm lonely. I thought maybe he felt the same.

But home isn't a place. It's a people.

I don't know where to go.

I know how much it took for her to put that out there, and the last thing I want to do is hurt her.

You guys deserve to be happy. It would be great if that was together, but if it's not...

It's like he's having an affair with his own wife. You don't think that's weird?

I think it's none of our business.

Now, exactly how pissed off is _____?

Stop overthinking and just pick one.

I need your help here, Big Man.

A gift for the girlfriend. Nice. 

No, it's not like that. Uh, she had a rough year. Couple of rough years, I guess.

This is our first Christmas together... as friends, and I really, really want it to be special.

Is this the wrong kind of surprise?

I just really wasn't gonna do much Christmas this year.

Hey, come on. You always loved Christmas, right? Ornaments, stockings, cookies. 

You made your own bows. Yeah. I'm not really feeling the holiday this year, okay?

Come on, what's going on with you? 

I don't want to talk about it.

You know what? I'm just gonna... take away the evidence before, uh, this turns into a crime scene, okay?

So you hate Christmas now? 

Something else I can thank _____ for, huh? 

No, I don't hate Christmas, but I'm starting not to like you very much, okay?  Just let it go.

You can't come into my house, ____, and act this way.

You hooked up with ____ of all people! 

You like apps. Tinder, Bumble, Match. 

You're still on all of them. Yeah. I'm on them because I'm single, and I'm single because you said so.

You're a commitment-phobe and you were just looking for an excuse... A reason to check out.

There's an excellent chance you're gonna be good as new.

Might need to up your comfort game a little there, Romeo.

You pushed me away.

People aren't afraid of what they know. They're afraid of what they don't.

It's a hard thing to hand someone else the keys to your heart and your happiness. And then you realize that losing them would mean losing a part of yourself.

That's your idea of a Christmas movie?

What are you talking about? Die Hard is a holiday classic.

I'm just trying to find a gift for my special someone.

Well, your boy McClane screwed things up with Holly, right? More than once, if I recall. But he won her back in the end, didn't he?

You know what? You're right. I'm gonna try again.

I can’t ask you to do that.

It's kind of a miracle that I ran into you.

I love the way he always wants to do everything on his own.

It just kind of happened, okay? It's not like I planned it.

We just kind of... ended up in bed. 

Right at the end of my tour. Instead of going back home... I reenlisted.

I guess sex complicates everything.

Santa said he'd work on it.

You two have an adorable son.

W-When you were gone, I asked Santa for you to come back, and you did.

You know, buddy, Christmas wishes aren't like birthday wishes. Yeah. You can say them out loud and they'll still come true.

I miss you, _____. It's been so long.

I've been traveling for 30 hours straight. Every form of transport you can imagine. Jeep, Humvee, APV, helicopter, 737, and now city bus, all to make it home in time to hear my little girl sing in the choir.

Is this bus usually on time? I've got to make the crosstown connector and I don't want to miss it.

Hey, you took that man's wallet. 

Piss off, Top Gun.

You got your finger in the hole?

You don't have anywhere to be, right?

Anything else I can do?

Better hurry up and get dressed... we're gonna be there before you know it. 

I'm gonna cry. I-I know I'm gonna cry. Those soldier reunion videos on YouTube always get me.

I thought I scared you off.

Well, you were feeling. You were speaking from your heart, which is something that I love about you.

I don't want to wait another minute.

I don't want to take the next step. I want to take every step, with you, for the rest of our lives. Marry me, ______.

Life is fleeting and it's precious, and when you find happiness and you find somebody who fills your heart, gives you hope for the future and faith in yourself, you have...

You really said yes. It's a Christmas miracle. 

Just put the damn ring on my finger.

I missed you so much.

I knew Santa could do it again.

Okay, we've got turkey, ham and six different sides.

I mean, I mean, I know they call diamonds rocks, but this is a rock star.

I mean, is your hand tired? 'Cause I could help you carry that, for a while, if you need a little help.

Oh, that's sweet. But let's not forget it's also a big damn diamond.

I think this year she needed a different kind of Christmas.

Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy. Chinese food and Die Hard, the greatest Christmas movie ever made.

Christmas is supposed to be about feeling safe and warm with the people you care about; that's the gift. What it's wrapped in doesn't matter.

I didn't steal it. Someone left it on the sidewalk, and I didn't have a lot of time, so it's not perfect, but...

You know, pretending to be a... happy couple that had it all. I just didn't want to pretend this year.

But then I realized that he's taken enough from me. I'm not gonna let him take one more thing, and I sure as hell am not gonna let him take Christmas.

Last year was my worst Christmas ever. But maybe also my best, because that's the day I decided to leave.

Now, that is a good reason to deck the halls.

It's my job to know what makes you happy.

Spoken like a true pusher.

So, is she into guys?

We should order that nice wine, unless they're pulling in the reins on your expense account.

You have such a warm and generous heart.

I can tell you that I don't like to be touched without an invitation, and when people invade my space, sometimes I pin their hand to the table with their own steak knife.

What the hell was that?

Do you even like this job?

Do I like this job? Hell no. I hate it. This is not me. None of this is me.

I have just never seen someone set their entire life on fire before.

I feel like all your answers were for me. That you wrote down things that you thought you were supposed to say.

I feel like that's been my problem my whole life.

Not that I don't speak my mind. You can ask my mom, my girlfriend, or any boss that I've ever had about that.

What is it that you hate, more than anything else?

They find people at their weakest, their most vulnerable, and attack. Like, how, how do you offer someone, who's already down on their knees, a fist when what they need is a hand?

Like a vigilante or something? Might be fun. I mean, the hours suck and the benefits are terrible.

You know, you don't need a test to find out what you're meant to do. You have a fire within.

I slept wrong last night. And I've had this pain all day.

You have a fire, a passion, a purpose.

She's gonna be okay, right?

Starting CPR that quick makes all the difference.

I was a lifeguard one summer as a kid.

Even people with training tend to panic when they're confronted by the real thing.

It was like this total rush came over me. I just knew exactly what to do, and I did it, I saved her.

I'm so proud of you, baby. You never cease to amaze me.

I walked into her office this morning completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my life.

I'm meant to save people's lives.

I mean, you can't believe it's some sign from God. 

No, I think the sign came from God when I was 16 and I got shot and lived. This is Him sending me a reminder.

You know what? Forget it.

Hey, no, I'm not being dismissive.

Yeah, well, passion is for rich people. And the rest of us, we work.

Well, paramedics, they go through tons of physical training.

So I’ll just... get in shape.

They're trying to recruit women now, you know? 

Well, is that what you really want?

Well, then I'll just have to Rosa Parks the hell out of it, now, won't I?

You're really serious about this? 

Yes. I know it won't be easy. But I at least got to try.

I need you to want this for me, too.

Hey, if you want it, I want it. You know I will always support you. Always.

Membership into the world's elite lifesaving service must be earned. Physically and mentally, you'll be tested as though your life depended on it, because that's the business we are in: life and death.

You're losing your pace, come on. Keep the pace.

You gonna let these guys laugh at you?

If you feel even the slightest glimmer of doubt about your ability to make that kind of commitment, then I suggest you back out that door.

What'd you do to your parents to deserve a name like that? 

You're prettier than most, I'll give you that.

Don't mind the Ping-Pong table. We'll move it out in a week if you're still here.

There's somebody I want you to meet.

Honestly, I couldn't really tell you what happened in it, but that Kristen Stewart, oh, sweet mama.

I really like Kristen Stewart, too.

Maybe you're more of a Team Jacob kind of guy.

I don't even know what that means. 

He's insinuating that you're gay.

I would have bet money that you were from the East Coast. You just kind of have that vibe.

Thank you for the compliment? 

New York bitchiness is a compliment? 

Whoa, nobody said anything like that, come on.

What did I do to deserve this?

I don't know. I say if you can make it through the training, you've earned your place.

I just wanted to make sure you knew you weren't alone here.

Right. I never should've married him. I should've listened to you.

Anyway... you don't have to be in any hurry.

You leave for work an hour before me, and I don't want you waking my ass up when you use the bathroom.

Besides, it’s nice in the sunroom when it’s raining.

Get some sleep. You look like hell.

If this doesn't work, they're gonna burn me alive.

Shh. It's not your fault. It's not your fault, okay? It's nobody's fault.

I'd tell you it gets better, but you'd know I was lying. Call me.

I probably don't have to tell you to never let them see you cry.

This ain't my first rodeo with men like him. It's just the first time it happened in a job that I actually care about.

Oh, you think they're inviting the Asian guy to their houses for barbecues and out for beers?

It's a big difference between being invisible and being a threat to their way of life.

Some unsolicited advice: doesn't have to be me, but you should talk to someone about this. You're not gonna survive if you take this on all by yourself, ______.

I want you to think about what I said while you're prepping dinner.

Thanks for taking the time.

I'm not really up for socializing.

Three of us... we get together once a month, swap war stories.

Oh, so this is like a support group?

He told me to find a new dream. Mm. So I found a new boyfriend.

I finished first in my class in the academy, and he asked me if I knew how to discharge my weapon.

You know. He told me he always wanted to taste some chocolate, put his hand on my thigh. I told him if he wanted chocolate, he should go to Carvel, and that if he ever touched me again, he'd taste it... through a wired jaw.

Imagine how much harder it must have been for the people who came before us.

You go in there tomorrow, you do your work. Outshine them.

Go in there with your head up, because they don't get to determine who you are.  You decide that.

I have something to say to all of you.

When you look at me, what do you see? A woman? A black woman? A lesbian? Good. 'Cause I'm all of those things.

I don't expect you to love me. I don't even ask you to like me. All I ask is that when you look at me, see me.

See me the way I see you... As a proud member of this department. One of the rare few that chooses to spend their lives in service of those who are hurt and those who need to be saved.

And one other thing. If any of you have a problem with me being here, I suggest you ask for a transfer. 'Cause I'm not going anywhere.

Saved by the bell.

If I don't do this, I don't belong in this job.

For the record, I thought that was a pretty good speech.

You know what pisses me off about all this?

Is this gonna be a regular thing? The crying?

Please don't tell the other guys, okay?

I just got lucky.

Hey, you don't know what's gonna happen in there.

Since you've started working here, we've received numerous complaints.

 If I could just have a chance to just... to defend myself.

Your colleagues all have some pretty complimentary things to say about you. You've made quite an impression.

Did you know what was going on in there before you sent me in? ... You set me up.

That's revenge for you making it so hard to be friends with you.

Thanks for sticking it out with me.

Why are we here? Is it all just chaos, or do we have a purpose?

...I am here to be the first one there to help. 

I am here to stand between you and the chaos.

And I'm always just a phone call away.

Nobody's gonna force you to do anything. We're just gonna talk.

The problem is, after 30 years of marriage, I can't get 30 seconds of attention from my husband!

Yeah, some lady up there thought social media wasn't, like, social enough, and so she's blowing up her marriage in real time.

We found your man. He's on his way.

I don't want to hurt anybody. 

I just can't handle being ignored anymore.

He's talking to her? 

Yeah, that's either gonna go well or... the other thing.

You think that you have something... something special, you know? She's the one. So you wait. And then, at some point, it hits you: you're alone.

And then-and then you realize... "You know what? It's over." You just need to face it and move on.

I don't know why this is happening. We don't even fight.

I'm pretty sure that's why this is happening.

You look right through me. Y-You don't even notice me.

Then we can spend the rest of our lives together, and I can show you how much I love you.

You don't even know who I am anymore. I mean... I don't even know.

How the hell am I supposed to know? She's your wife.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it is over.

Oh my God. That song. He remembered.

I see the girl who used to sneak out to the beach bonfires and listen to The Psychedelic Furs and The Cure.

I see the girl who once drank nine shots of Jager and woke up without a hangover!

You are really mashing those potatoes.

Just relax. Everything's gonna be fine. 

We'll have a nice evening. Good food. Pleasant conversation.

Well, I'd rather be spending it with just us.

Thanks a lot, ____. I love you, too.

I just feel bad that you're spending your night off dealing with our family drama.

Well, didn't you reschedule this three times so I could be here to act as a human shield?

Just give him a chance. 

I'm so glad to be here. Thank you for having me.

The world looks so different now that I'm single again.

Happy to help. Even though I did initially think you were just coming over to watch the game.

Are you afraid to get back on the horse?

I would never have noticed that blonde over there, licking the salted rim of her margarita glass while she maintains strong, intimate eye contact.

Yeah, that sounds awful.

Uh, you invited my sister?

Sorry I'm late. I don't know why I get on the freeway. I always regret it.

Because you are an eternal optimist, that's why.

Are you hungry?

Oh, yeah, should we get that thing we got last time?

Well, she did manage not to kill anyone.

A candlelight dinner is a romantic gesture, not a hostage situation 40 feet in the air.

You have to admire her creativity, if nothing else. And she did get her happy ending, sort of.

You're the only one who gets the big picture. 

Ooh, would you like some more wine?

The lady said real heroes don't drink pale ale.

I see ______'s got a girlfriend.

I was in a pretty serious relationship, uh, but that's over now, I guess.

I'm actually even thinking about... dipping my toe back into the dating game.

I'm just trying to be responsible and well-behaved.

I just thought I'd stopped being that guy.

Men are the worst, right? 

You're asking the wrong girl.

I really like her, you know, and not just 'cause she's a redhead, but now if I do want to call and, you know, ask her out, she's gonna think I'm only after one thing. 

You are only after one thing. Jerk.

We'd feel a lot better if you got checked out.

You've already been a hero once today, _____. Don't push your luck. 

You thought I was being heroic? 

A bit stupid, but heroic.

Kind of like having you around.

Long day?

It's strange to hope for boring, but... we do.

_______. Did you come here to apologize?

I just don't want you to feel used or-or taken advantage of.

And I'm the one who sent you the drink, remember?

Sorry, stud, I got to run.

Another car drifted into their lane, the driver tried to avoid getting hit, car went off the road.

Damn, the tree's folded right into the car.

You really think this is gonna work?

Well, that was some divine inspiration. 

Hey, even the big guy's a sucker for a love story.

What if you get caught? She could get fired.

Thank you for that.

Anytime, roomie!

You made me hot mustard. 

I just can't anymore, with the whole sad face every time they forget it, so...

Anyway, uh, why so much food?

Buffet Fridays. It's the one day we indulge your sister's complete inability to choose what she's in the mood for.

Yeah, so we order everything.

And, because of your sister's hatred for leftovers, I don't have to buy groceries.

Let's go back to you stealing a hook and ladder for a hookup.

It's your fault. You know, you always told me to go after what I wanted. Be confident. Girls aren't scary.

Don't you have impulse control?

All I'm saying is she's beautiful, she's cool. And then she left me standing in a parking lot.

We're not dating, okay? 

That's crazy. We're... Friends who hang out.

You're always talking or texting each other. You sing karaoke together. You do Buffridays, you finish each other's sentences. Guys, come on, you're a couple.

To all our many adventures. And the many yet to come.

Shall we add... another memory to the collection?

It's a beautiful day.

For the posterity of online narcissism.

He can't go. He's my heart, my everything.

I guess I can only hope to find something that good.

You don't find it, son. You make it.

Yes, uh, _____ is fine. Uh, he's an idiot, but he's fine.

My life is a work in progress. It's a mess. I wouldn't expect anyone to want to take that on.

I just didn't want you to feel pressured, that I was pushing you to something that you're not ready for.

You never pushed.

I'm not worried about your life before. I mean, I hate that it happened, but... that would never scare me off.

Good. 'Cause my calendar's... wide open. 

What's the occasion? 

Well, we've both been so busy, I thought... we should spend a nice evening at home, just the two of us.

You are definitely a keeper.

Yeah. Well, after the earthquake and almost dying twice... It makes you reevaluate a few things. So, back to my roots.

I wasn't sure if you were gonna show. You seemed a little hesitant on the phone.

Oh, is that the way you remember it?

Wow, maybe I should have called him.

We fall in and out of love.

Some relationships can seem easy from the start... and others can be faced with tremendous obstacles.

We root for love to conquer all, but we also root for a comeback.

So maybe the greatest love stories aren't the ones that end in tragedies. Maybe they're the ones that start with a second chance.
