우와, 그새 많이 쌓였네

 

너무 예쁘다

 

"서약"

 

됐어, 됐어

 

손이 꽁꽁 얼었어

 

고마워

 

밤사이 영하 10도를
밑돌겠습니다

 

'미트로프'네

 

뭐든지 할 수 있어

 

이런 노래
좋아해?

 

사랑을 위해서라면

 

뭐든지
할 수 있어

 

이제 꺼

 

그것만은 못해

 

그렇겐 못해

 

내 남편이지만
너무 느끼하다

 

어때?
가수 뺨치지?

 

그만해!

 

좋으면서, 뭘

 

리오

 

그거 알아?

 

차에서 하면
백 퍼센트 애가 생긴대

 

말도 안 돼

 

살아가다 보면

 

우리 삶을
강타하는

 

순간들이 있다

 

'실화에 바탕하였음'

 

갑자기 찾아오는
그 순간들이

 

우리 삶을
완전히 뒤바꿔놓고

 

현재의 우리를
만드는 것이다

 

'4년 전'

 

고마워요

 

다음 분

 

내 인생에서
가장 행복했던 순간이다

 

주차증 잊었네요

 

재미삼아 2시간 동안
줄 서 있었는데

 

하나 건졌네요

 

'시카고 예술대학'

 

예술대?
거기서 일해요?

 

학생이에요

 

난 페이지예요

 

내 정신하곤!
리오예요

 

이거 고마워요, 리오

 

얼핏 봤는데,
스토커는 아니고요

 

RPP 구역이
같네요

 

그래요?

 

눈썰미가 꽤 좋네요

 

그렇죠

 

RPP 구역이 뭐죠?

 

거주자 우선
주차구역

 

그렇담 우리가 아주
가까운 사이네요

 

네

 

이것도 인연인데

 

주차구역 공유하는
이웃사촌끼리

 

술 한잔하는 게
예의 아닐까요?

 

좋아요

 

진짜요?

 

그럼 가죠

 

그쪽 먼저!

 

'기억을 부르는 카페'

 

어느 손?

 

- 이쪽
- 먹어봐요

 

달콤해라

 

뭐든 필요하면
부르세요

 

열어봐!

 

'콧물 흐를 때'

 

'머리 아플 때'

 

'나 보고 싶을 때'

 

'뜨거운 밤을 위해'

 

방귀 뀌었어?

 

아니

 

아주 살짝...

 

변태니?

 

로맨틱하긴 하다

 

이러니 내가
홀딱 빠졌지

 

CT를 보면 부인 뇌에
출혈이 있어요

 

보통 뇌를 다친
환자는

 

코마 상태를
유지한 후

 

뇌의 부기가 가라앉으면

 

그때 본격적인
치료를 합니다

 

인간은 자신이 겪은
경험이나

 

주변인들과 공유한
순간들의 집합체다

 

그 순간들이
개인의 역사가 되고

 

각자의 기억은
히트 앨범처럼

 

우리들 머릿속에서
끊임없이 재생된다

 

배고프지?

 

일어났어?

 

뭐 해?

 

아무것도

 

- 그래?
- 응

 

- 그건 뭔데?
- 아무것도

 

웃기네

 

아침 먹어

 

먹이 주면 계속 와
나 알레르기 있다고

 

고수 잎도
알레르기라며?

 

진짜 싫어해

 

알레르긴 핑계고!

 

딸기 사왔는데
먹을 사람?

 

- 장을 봤어
- 뭐?

 

뻔한 조짐이야

 

난 페이지 좋아

 

우리
마스코트 같잖아

 

칭찬으로
접수할게

 

네가 키우려던
담비보단 낫지

 

커피도 잘 뽑고,
계속 키우자

 

고맙네

 

- 마셔
- 땡큐

 

같이 사까?

 

'사까'?

 

뭘 사자고?

 

아니!

 

내가 뭐랬어?

 

응!

 

삶의 동반자로서

 

사랑으로 포용하고

 

사랑으로
인내하겠습니다

 

대화가 필요하면
대화를

 

침묵이 필요하면
침묵하고

 

레드벨벳
케이크에 대한

 

당신 취향을
존중하며

 

당신의 품속을
안식처로 삼겠습니다

 

내 서약은
초라하겠네

 

메뉴판에
써왔어?

 

응

 

왜?

 

'기억을 부르는 카페'

 

그 어떤 순간에도

 

열렬히 사랑하고

 

아끼겠습니다

 

당신이 나의 끝사랑임을
결코 잊지 않고

 

내 영혼 깊은 곳에
새겨놓겠습니다

 

그 어떤 장애물이
우릴 갈라놓는다 해도

 

당신에게 돌아갈
길을 찾겠습니다

 

서로를 배우자로
맞이하겠습니까?

 

네!

 

네!

 

일리노이 주가 부여한
권한으로...

 

경비 떴어

 

부부이자 베프로
선언합니다

 

키스하고 튀어!

 

'시카고 예술대학'

 

겨우 하나 완성했어
달랑 하나!

 

영감이 안 떠올라

 

미치겠네

 

걱정하지 마

 

전화해서

 

못하겠다고 할래

 

침대로 가자

 

자기도 하고 싶잖아

 

하지 마!

 

그러지 마

 

그만!

 

알았어

 

이건 모양이
꽤 잡혀가네

 

미완성이긴 해도

 

묘한 분위기가
느껴져

 

뭐랄까...

 

짙은 어둠과

 

밝은 빛이
극적 대비를 이룬달까

 

추상적이긴 하지만
강렬함이 살아있어

 

왜?

 

날 무지
사랑하는구나

 

당연하지

 

그런 거 같아

 

왜냐면

 

이게 작품이거든

 

그건 버릴
쪼가리들이고

 

이젠 못 버리겠네

 

육체와 정신이 교감하는

 

완벽한 순간이다

 

조급해하지 마세요

 

불안정한 상태니까
충격을 줘선 안 돼요

 

이만하길
다행이야

 

페이지?

 

안심해요
여긴 병원이에요

 

차 사고를
당했는데

 

머릴 다쳐서 한동안
수면 상태로 놔뒀죠

 

좀 어때?

 

머리가 아파요

 

흔한 증상이에요
진통제를 줄게요

 

다친 사람 또 있어요?

 

나, 누군지 알지?

 

그럼요

 

의사시잖아요

 

난 자기 남편이야

 

페이지?

 

콜린스 씨?

 

괜찮을 거랬잖아요!

 

뇌 손상은
골절과 달라서

 

예측이 어려워요

 

때론 부은 조직이
두개골을 압박해

 

- 장애가 따르죠
- 장애요?

 

날 기억 못 해요!

 

의식이 돌아와도

 

정신혼란, 기억상실은
다반사예요

 

- 뭐라고요?
- 흔한 일이죠

 

이것도
그중 하나다

 

우리 삶을 강타하는
통렬한 순간

 

그런데
그 순간들을

 

하나도 기억 못 하고
모두 잃어버린다면?

 

뭐 해요?

 

잤어

 

네

 

자기 옷 챙겨왔어

 

고마워요

 

나, 배고파요

 

알았어

 

가자

 

몇 가지만 물어볼게요
나에 대해서...

 

우리에 대해서요

 

알았어

 

- 우리가 부부라고요?
- 응

 

왜 내 머리가
이렇게 가관이죠?

 

관리를 안 했어

 

머리 펴는 시간 있으면

 

작업실서
더 쓴다며

 

작업실?
왜 나한테 그런 게 있죠?

 

자긴 예술가야

 

실력 좋은 조각가

 

트리뷴 타워
로비에 놓을

 

작품을
작업 중이었어

 

큰 프로젝트라

 

눈독 들이는
작가 많았는데

 

신인이지만 실력으로
자기가 따냈어

 

난 법대 다녔는데?

 

졸업 안 했어요?

 

자퇴했다고 들었어

 

예술가는 고등학생 때
꿈이었는데

 

기회다 생각해

 

아내 기억상실이?

 

이 바보야

 

널 기억 못 하면
네 뻘짓도 기억 못 하잖아

 

이 기회에
싹 털어

 

널 기억 못 하면

 

둘이 사랑한 건
어떻게 기억해?

 

왜?

 

애초에 너한테
반한 게 신기해

 

그땐 더 볼품
없었는데

 

위로 참 고맙다

 

날 영원히 기억 못 해내면?

 

그럼 어떡하지?

 

기억해낼 거야

 

우리 전부!

 

우린 가족이잖아

 

그래, 맞아

 

아내 어딨죠?
어제까지 여기 있었는데

 

VIP 병실로 옮겼어요

 

거긴 비쌀 텐데

 

기부자 전용이죠

 

저쪽 승강기 타고
2층으로 올라가세요

 

고마워요

 

장기 기억엔
이상 없으니

 

나머지 기억도
차츰 돌아올 거예요

 

콜린스 씨
마침 오셨군요

 

이제야 뵙네요

 

리오입니다
따님 남편이죠

 

얼마나 황당했는지
아나?

 

딸이 중환자실 있는 걸
남한테 듣게 해?

 

연락했어야죠

 

죄송합니다

 

우리 부모님 처음 봬요?
왜요?

 

앞으로 치료는요?

 

일상에 빨리 적응하면
기억 회복에 도움돼요

 

조만간 신경심리 치료
시작할 거고요

 

알았소

 

최고의 치료를 받게
조치해줘요

 

우리랑
집에 가자

 

방은 치우면 되고
아비도 휴가 내마

 

두 분 뜻 존중하고
감사하지만

 

일상으로 돌아가는 게
좋다잖아요

 

그러니 저와 가야죠

 

애가 기억을
못하잖아요

 

곧 돌아온다잖아요

 

아니, 선생님도
장담은 않으셨네

 

애가 아는 사람들과
지내는 게 낫잖아요?

 

가족 말일세

 

그게 페이지한테
좋아요

 

어떻게 아시죠?

 

그야...

 

부탁인데 그만 싸워요!

 

당장 결정하실
필요 없으세요

 

일단 모두 돌아가셔서
좀 쉬시는 게 좋겠네요

 

남편이라면서 왜
부모님 만난 적 없죠?

 

연락 끊고 산 지
몇 년 됐어

 

내가 왜 가족과
연락을 끊어요?

 

날 만나기 전
일이야

 

이유 말 않던가요?

 

아니, 했어

 

뭐였죠?

 

자기가 미대로
옮기겠다고 했는데

 

아버님은 법대를
계속 고집하셨어

 

당신 뜻을
안 굽히셨지

 

그게 발단이었어

 

내가 기억하는 건
난 법대생이고

 

제레미와
약혼한 상태예요

 

뭐가 뭔지
모르겠어요

 

페이지

 

자기야, 일단 좀...

 

지금 상황에서
최선은

 

나와의 삶으로
돌아가는 거야

 

선생님도
그게 좋다잖아

 

누군지도
모르는데

 

무작정 따라가서
그쪽 집에 살라고요?

 

우리 집이야

 

사랑했다는
증거도 없이?

 

결혼했다니까

 

사랑 없이도
결혼은 해요

 

- 이를테면?
- 영주권 따려는 위장결혼

 

난 신시내티
출신이야

 

나, 일기 썼어요?

 

아니

 

이런 옷들만 가져왔어

 

괜찮은데, 뭘

 

집까지만 입어

 

- 너무 흉해
- 페이지?

 

퇴원한다죠?

 

네, 부모님한테
들었어요

 

내가 허락할 때까진
운전 안 돼요

 

그것만 지키고
한 달 후에 봐요

 

알았죠?

 

- 감사해요
- 애쓰셨어요

 

고마워요

 

다 됐니?
가자

 

사고 전에 자기가 남긴
음성 메시지야

 

증거 대랬지?

 

좋아요
들어나 보죠

 

자기야

 

미안해
아직 작업실이야

 

너무 보고 싶어선지
조각이 자기로 보여

 

이따 뭐 해?

 

자기랑 하고 싶은 게 있는데...
뭔지 알겠지?

 

아무튼 전화해

 

사랑해!

 

나도 잘 모르겠어
이런 메시지가

 

증거가 될는지...

 

아뇨, 사랑스럽네요

 

내가 아주
행복하게 들려요

 

페이지, 생각해봐

 

법대 접고

 

약혼까지 깨고
독립해 나왔어

 

날 만나기 전에
스스로 한 선택이야

 

지금 같은
상황에서

 

본인이 했던 결정을
따라야 하지 않을까?

 

귀담아듣지 마

 

약속해요
제가 잘 돌볼게요

 

나랑 집에 가자

 

같이 지내다 보면
기억이 돌아올 거야

 

한번 해볼게요

 

기억 되찾는 데
도움된다니까

 

맘 바뀌면 언제든
돌아갈게요

 

결혼까지 한
이유가 있겠죠

 

사랑은 아닐 거다

 

마음대로
생각하시죠

 

나, 괴물 같아요

 

내 눈엔 예뻐

 

집이 어디죠?

 

시내 북쪽

 

대통령이
누구예요?

 

미국 대통령?

 

오바마

 

그 상원의원?

 

응, 자기도 찍었어

 

내가요?

 

집에 잘 왔어

 

먼저 들어가

 

서프라이즈!

 

너무 반갑다

 

매일 병원 갔는데
리오가 못 만나게 했어

 

진짜 매일 왔어

 

보고 싶었어

 

우리가...
친한가 봐요?

 

난 소냐야

 

내 남친 카일

 

페이지

 

이쪽은 짐

 

좋아 보여

 

릴리

 

병원에서
운동이라도 했니?

 

페이지

 

얜 조쉬

 

미안해요
실례해요

 

이렇게 보내서
미안해

 

- 괜찮아, 갈게
- 나중에 봐

 

괜찮아?

 

어떻겠어요?

 

알아
감당하기 벅찰 거야

 

아뇨

 

잘 알지도 못하는
낯선 남자 따라서

 

잘 알지도 못하는
낯선 집에 오는 거

 

그게
감당하기 벅찬 거죠

 

집 안을 가득 메운

 

낯선 사람들이
날 끌어안고 울면서

 

기억에도 없는
소릴 해대는 건

 

사람을 미치게
만드는 거고요

 

이해해

 

그렇게 많이
올 줄 몰랐어

 

부탁인데
나가줄래요?

 

페이지, 정말 미안해

 

나가달란 말
못 들었어요?

 

- 미안해
- 미안해요

 

그래

 

미안해요

 

맙소사!
엄마 알면 난 죽었다

 

굿모닝

 

굿모닝

 

왜?

 

노크 안 했잖아요!

 

습관이 돼서,
미안

 

처음 보는 것도
아닌데, 뭘

 

안 웃겨요

 

앞으로 노크해요

 

미안해

 

잘 어울린다

 

진짜요?

 

그나마 편한 옷은
이거뿐이라서

 

그거, 내 거야

 

괜찮아
그냥 입어

 

왜요?

 

왜 동물원 동물 보듯 봐요?

 

미안해
나도 적응 안 돼서...

 

늘 이렇게 먹어요?

 

어제 일
사과 표시야

 

내가 멍청했지
생각이 짧았어

 

아뇨
미안한 건 나죠

 

나 신경 쓰지 말고
그냥 평소처럼 해요

 

하는 일 있어요?

 

응, 아직 안 망했으면

 

녹음 스튜디오
운영해

 

멋지네요

 

내 일과는 뭐죠?
하루종일 뭘 해요?

 

자긴 일어나면
커피부터 내려

 

알았어요

 

아냐, 내가 벌써 내렸어

 

그리곤...

 

먹지 마
그건 내 거야

 

자긴
고기 안 먹어

 

그리곤 메일 확인하고
공과금 처리해

 

당연히

 

계좌번호나 비밀번호
기억 안 나겠지?

 

- 내가 할게
- 알았어요

 

그리곤 작업실에 가

 

지금 가볼래?
작품도 보고?

 

지금 당장 볼 필요
없어요

 

그냥 출근해요

 

기억 더듬기는
나중에 하자고요

 

괜찮겠어?

 

그럼요

 

알았어, 그럼...

 

여기 집 열쇠랑
휴대폰

 

아무 때나 전화해
번호 저장돼있어

 

- 알았어요
- 그래

 

- 알았어
- 네

 

잘 다녀와요

 

안녕, 릴리

 

별일 없었어?

 

저 마법사 구두?
키스가 꽝이야

 

차버려야겠어

 

그러든가

 

스튜디오 형편이
말이 아냐

 

어젠 녹음 2개가
겹쳤어

 

고객 많은 게
문제야?

 

녹음실이 하나뿐인 게
문제지

 

'듄 기획'이
경쟁업체로 갈아탔어

 

뭐라고?
가장 큰 고객이라

 

항상 최우선이야

 

너도 알잖아

 

그건 알지만

 

혼자서 세션 녹음이랑
업체관리 둘 다는 못해

 

나 혼잔 무리라고

 

내가
놀러다녔어?

 

화내는 게 아냐
상황이 안 좋다는 거지

 

앞으로 잘하면 돼

 

페이지는?

 

아직 여전해

 

앞으로...

 

걱정 고마워

 

괜찮을 거야

 

그래
다행이네

 

오후 미팅 올 거지?

 

그럼

 

집에 가서 옷 갈아입고
페이지 잠깐 보고 갈게

 

알았어

 

'확실한 증거'

 

삶의 동반자로서

 

사랑으로 포용하고

 

사랑으로
인내하겠습니다

 

대화가 필요하면
대화를

 

침묵이 필요하면
침묵하며

 

레드벨벳 케이크에 대한
당신 취향을 존중하고

 

당신의 품속을
안식처로 삼겠습니다

 

메뉴판에
써왔어?

 

이상해...

 

그 어떤 순간에도
열렬히 사랑하고

 

아끼겠습니다

 

당신이 나의 끝사랑임을
결코 잊지 않고

 

내 영혼 깊은 곳에
새겨놓겠습니다

 

그 어떤 장애물이
우릴 갈라놔도

 

당신에게 돌아갈
길을 찾겠습니다

 

- 안녕하세요
- 어서 와요

 

뭐가 좋을까...

 

이거 주세요

 

늘 먹던 거
말고?

 

그런 게 있어요?

 

잘됐네요
그걸로 주세요

 

다 됐어요

 

여기요

 

감사합니다

 

많이 파세요

 

페이지?

 

어서 오세요

 

전화 좀?

 

여보세요?

 

릴리, 시간 된 건
아는데

 

난 못 가
페이지 찾아야 해

 

적당히 둘러대!

 

달리 전화할
사람이 없어서

 

어서 타

 

우리 딸

 

- 괜찮니?
- 응

 

어디 갔었어?

 

걱정했어
사고라도 났나 해서

 

미안해요
길을 잃었어요

 

정신도 잃고...

 

전화하지

 

휴대폰 두고 갔는데
그쪽 번호를 몰라서

 

엄마한테 했어요

 

덕분에 하루
같이 보냈죠

 

저녁 초대도
받았고요

 

저녁?
알았어

 

그쪽은
안 가도 돼요

 

아직 운전 못 하잖아

 

문제는
그게 아냐

 

자고 일어나면 기억이
뚝딱 돌아올진 몰라도

 

지금 내게 확실한 건
가족뿐이에요

 

알았어

 

가자

 

알았어요

 

그래

 

옷 갈아입을 거죠?

 

갈아입을게

 

저 앞에서 좌회전
길 끝에서 우회전

 

6번째 집이에요

 

프레슬리 씨네
편지함 바꿨네

 

인연 끊고 산 죄를
꽃다발로 때우긴 뭐하지만

 

머릴 다쳤으니
잊어주시겠죠?

 

잊지 말라고
물망초로 살걸

 

웃기네요

 

진짜 웃겼어요

 

부모님은 만났고,
아빠가 이름 부르래도

 

손튼 씨라고
불러요

 

- 동생 이름은...
- 그웬

 

전에 자기가
다 말해줬어

 

그랬구나

 

우린 부부잖아

 

- 어머, 약혼했구나!
- 응

 

- 둘이 잘 어울려요
- 고마워요

 

너무 오랜만이다

 

그러니?

 

응

 

다들 더 늙어 보여

 

- 정말?
- 특히 네가!

 

돌아오자마자
놀려먹네

 

페이지 네가
제일 좋아하는 요리야

 

필레미뇽

 

어서 앉아요

 

특별한 날인데
축배부터 하자꾸나

 

여보?

 

우리 가족을 위해
건배하자

 

난 참 행복한
남자다

 

아름다운 여인을
셋이나 가졌잖아

 

이렇게 다 모이니
참 좋구나

 

페이지, 잘 왔다

 

가족을 위하여

 

가족을 위하여

 

리오, 자네 가족은?

 

자주 보나?

 

아뇨

 

저런...

 

부모님은 돌아가셨고
제겐 페이지뿐이에요

 

유일한 가족이죠

 

하는 일이 뭐죠?

 

얼마 전에
녹음실 열었어요

 

사업으로 키워보라고
페이지가 응원해줬죠

 

내가요?

 

그래

 

사양 사업
아녜요?

 

집 컴퓨터로 녹음한
사운드도 좋지 않나?

 

라이언

 

왜?

 

내가 좋아하는
앨범들엔

 

순수한 열정과
영혼이 담겼죠

 

스코티 기타 연주의
슬랩백 에코

 

컴퓨터론 절대
불가능하죠

 

녹음실에서
바운스 살려가며

 

뮤지션들끼리 교감하며
녹음해야죠

 

질문에 답하자면,
내리막 사업 맞아요

 

집에서도
질 좋은 음악

 

얼마든지
녹음 가능하죠

 

하지만 노트북으로
'선 세션' 같은 앨범은

 

절대
못 만들어요

 

전부 온댔어

 

사람 많으면
부담스러워해요

 

아뇨
여긴 괜찮아요

 

다이앤 체인 아냐?

 

안 어울린 지 오래됐어

 

언니가 오래
떠나있긴 했네

 

어쩜!

 

잘 버텨봐요

 

반가워!

 

고등학교 때
친구들이에요

 

섀나, 캐리
리즈벳

 

안녕하세요

 

난 빼놓기야?
소개 안 해줘?

 

안녕

 

안녕

 

이쪽은...

 

제레미

 

오랜만이네

 

그래?

 

그렇게 안 느껴져
자긴 그대로다

 

아시는지 모르지만,
리오예요

 

반가워요

 

페이지 남편이죠

 

그렇군요

 

바에 갈 건데
뭐 마실래?

 

디사로노 사워

 

블루베리 모히토

 

진짜?

 

그래, 기억해

 

기억나니?

 

9학년 때 성탄절
댄스파티 간다고

 

고대기로
머리 말다

 

머리 홀랑 태웠잖아

 

기억나지, 그럼!

 

베레모로 탄 머리
가리고 갔잖아

 

칵테일 마시며
수다 떠는 게

 

상류층 된장녀 같더라

 

골빈 애처럼?

 

그렇더라고

 

제레미한테
꼬리를 쳤고

 

옛 약혼자?

 

아니, 페이지 기억 속엔
지금도 약혼자야

 

난 아내 연애질
훼방 놓는

 

낯설고 찌질한
남편 신세였고

 

어째 갈수록 꼬이네

 

뭐에 흥분해?

 

페이지?

 

그럼 페이지
엄마를 묻겠니?

 

침대에서?

 

짜증 나려고 그런다

 

사적인 거잖아

 

그런 은밀한 얘긴
하기 그렇다고

 

지적질 안 할게

 

간지럼 좋아해

 

진짜로?

 

지적질 안 한다며?

 

응, 채찍질한대도
상관없어

 

변태 아니거든?

 

긴장 풀어줄 때
쓰는 필살기야

 

좋아
그걸로 들이대

 

진짜?

 

밑져야 본전이잖아

 

안녕하세요

 

페이지?

 

뻔한 꼼수 쓰는 거야
틀림없이...

 

중요한 일이 생겼어
이따 걸게

 

앉아

 

호수에서 나한테 그랬지?

 

어떤 경우에도
내 편 돼준다고?

 

보트하우스에서

 

- 응
- 그래

 

왜 우리가 헤어졌는지
말해줄래?

 

자기가 차 놓고
이유 묻는 여잔

 

세상에
자기뿐일 거야

 

내가 찼다고?

 

잔인하고 매몰차게
결혼을 코앞에 두고

 

왜?

 

나도 친구들도
그게 궁금했어

 

실연 땜빵용 애인 둘도

 

난 심각해
이유가 있었겠지

 

갑자기 변했어

 

말투도, 옷차림도

 

법대에
회의 느꼈고

 

나에 대한
확신도 잃었어

 

반지도 돌려줬어?

 

응

 

새 반지 주인은?

 

아직

 

애인은 있어
로즈라고

 

자기 동생 친구 알지?
1년쯤 됐어

 

돌아올지 몰랐어

 

기억상실증 걸려
사무실로 찾아와

 

헤어진 이유 물을지
상상도 못했다고?

 

그렇게
감이 없어?

 

일 방해해서 미안,
갈게

 

그래

 

- 미안해
- 나도

 

나도 모르게...

 

습관이겠지

 

어디로 가는지도
모르고 걸었는데

 

와보니까
여기였어

 

어처구니가 없어
무려 5년간

 

모두와 연락 끊고
살았다니...

 

정말 이해가 안 돼

 

오늘 어땠어요?

 

그럭저럭

 

자기가 반겨주니
좋다

 

미안해요
너무 지저분하죠?

 

괜찮아

 

콜라주 만들어?

 

내가
그것도 해요?

 

아니
본 적 없어

 

어제 가족, 친구들 만나고
영감이 떠올랐어요

 

콜라주 만들?

 

옛날 기억들이
샘솟아서

 

내 삶을 시기별로
정리해보려고요

 

그거 괜찮네
좋은 생각이야

 

그쪽 물건 뒤졌는데
괜찮죠?

 

당연하지
내 게 자기 거잖아

 

결혼 증명서도
있는걸

 

'잃어버린 시간'
칸에 놨어요

 

여기가 시작이에요

 

가족사진이랑
어렸을 때 사진들

 

기억나는 시기라서
정리가 쉽더라고요

 

좋은 거네?

 

네, 그래요

 

그렇지만 중요한 건

 

사고 전
마지막 기억이에요

 

생각났어?

 

마카로니 그릴
식당에서

 

튀긴 라비올리가
있는지 물었어요

 

대답은 생각
안 나고요

 

그게 병원서 눈뜨기 전
마지막 기억이에요

 

이런...

 

튀긴 라비올리 있는지
알 길이 없어졌네

 

미쳐버릴 거 같아요

 

괜찮아

 

미치겠어

 

그러지 마
조급해할 거 없어

 

응?

 

무슨 짓이에요?

 

미안해

 

혹시 우리끼리 하는
애교 짓 같은 거예요?

 

그런 셈이지

 

- 미안해요
- 아냐

 

이해해
몰라서 그랬잖아

 

지금처럼 계속
애쓰다 보면

 

차차 나아질 거야

 

네

 

상점들은 합판으로
창문을 가렸고

 

길엔 깨진 유리가
가득합니다

 

시위대는...

 

작업실에
가보고 싶은데

 

데려다 줄래요?

 

그래, 가자

 

자기의 첫 작업실이야

 

근사하지?

 

처음엔
싫어했어

 

어떤 노점상한테서 사온

 

허브 다발을
태우기 전까진...

 

향 퍼지라고
휘젓다 보니

 

허브가 아니라
말린 상추 잎이었지만

 

상추를 태우며
좋아했던 거지

 

그 일로
정들었는지

 

이후론 여기서
살다시피 했어

 

음악 크게 틀고
작업에 몰두하면

 

한밤중까지
시간 가는 줄 몰랐고

 

이게 트리뷴 타워
작품들 중 하나야

 

뭘 만들려던 거죠?

 

작가인 자기도
몰랐는걸

 

이리 와봐

 

받아

 

칼을 잡으면 뭔가
떠오를지 모르잖아?

 

알았어요

 

쓰는 법도 모르는걸요

 

생각날 거야

 

잠깐만

 

훨씬 낫네
해봐

 

재밌을 거야

 

소리 좀 줄여줄래요?

 

전엔 이것보다
더 크게 틀었어

 

집중된다고...

 

머리가 터질 거 같으니까
줄이라고!

 

도와주려는 거야!

 

나도 답답해
미치겠어

 

이건 우리가
아냐!

 

자기만큼
나도 힘들어

 

페이지?

 

자기 좋아하는
포르투갈 빵집 들러서

 

같이 먹으려고...

 

누구 왔어?

 

리오

 

동생이 결혼준비로
정신없대요

 

약혼 파티도
다가오고

 

페이지가 집에 와서
도와줘야겠네

 

아무래도 그웬 곁에
있어줘야겠어요

 

여기 생활은 어쩌고?

 

작업은
마무리해야지

 

트리뷴에
전화했더니

 

이해해주더라고요

 

계약금은 아빠가
갚아주기로 했어요

 

난 해낼 자신
없어요

 

준비되면 나와

 

네

 

결혼식까지만이에요

 

조심해
알았지?

 

종교집단이 아니라
가족한테 가거든요?

 

- 그래도...
- 뭐요?

 

어색한 포옹 정돈
해도 되지?

 

좀 어때요?

 

좋아요

 

현기증, 졸음
방향감 상실?

 

전혀요

 

다행이네요
CT 결과도 아주 좋아요

 

한시름 놨네요

 

기억 돌아온 건?

 

별로요

 

그래요?

 

정상 아닌 거죠?

 

뇌는 복잡한
기관이라

 

다치면 증상도
다양해요

 

페이지는 예전으로
돌아왔어요

 

아주 좋아졌죠

 

따님과 둘이
얘기 좀?

 

괜찮아, 엄마
나가 있어

 

그래

 

고맙습니다

 

기억을 되찾고 싶긴 해요?

 

그럼요

 

사고 때 악몽이
떠오를까 봐

 

꺼리는 분도 있거든요

 

사고 기억이
두렵진 않아요

 

그럼 뭐가 두렵죠?

 

뭐랄까...

 

기억이 돌아왔는데

 

되찾은 인생이
맘에 안 들면요?

 

반대로
너무 좋으면?

 

잘 모르겠어요

 

정신과 전문의는 아니니
감안하고 들어요

 

기억하려고
노력해봐요

 

그 삶을 살진
다음 문제예요

 

그렇지 않으면
지워진 과거를

 

두려워하면서
살게 될지도 몰라요

 

나 왔어

 

그룹 이름이?

 

'나이프 스킬즈'

 

그래

 

마이키, 잘했어
이번엔 열정 불살라 봐

 

불사른 건데?

 

베이스가
띵까띵까야

 

띵까띵까라...

 

좋아, 다시 해보자

 

훤한걸?
다른 사람 같아

 

신경 좀 썼어
카니예 웨스트 같지?

 

그건 좀 오버고...
아무튼 멋지다

 

당분간 자주

 

자릴 비울 거야

 

아주 좋았어

 

처음인지 중간인지
거기부터 다시!

 

사람들은 널 보고
오는 거야

 

내가 아무리 용써도
너 없인 안 돼

 

알아

 

페이지가
가족한테 갔어

 

나도 갈 거야

 

날 다시 사랑하게
만들고 말겠어

 

왔구나?

 

어서 와!

 

반지 봐봐

 

너무 예쁘다

 

- 축하해요
- 리오

 

곧 품절남 되는
기분 어때요?

 

괜찮아요

 

오래 생각하면
좀 어지럽지만

 

뭐라고?

 

좋아서 어지럽다고

 

패닉 상태이거나
흥분했을 때처럼

 

패닉이랑 흥분은
완전 달라

 

하객이
4백 명이나 와

 

알아!

 

전기 감전된 듯
손가락도 찌릿?

 

맞아요
나쁜 거예요?

 

'라디오헤드'
알죠?

 

리더가 현기증 얘길
자주 하는데

 

손가락이
찌릿할 때마다

 

대박 곡이 써진대요

 

너무 좋아서 연주하다
기절할 정도라죠

 

라이언한텐 결혼이
대박인가 봐요

 

우쭐해지는걸요?

 

건배

 

- 와서 인사드려
- 엄마, 라디오헤드 알아?

 

그 얘기
진짜예요?

 

페이지?

 

리오

 

왜요?

 

헤어스타일 바꿨네

 

아주 예뻐

 

고마워요

 

생각해봤는데...

 

네

 

좋아하는 책이?

 

말해도
모를 텐데

 

뭔진 안 중요해

 

제임스 패터슨의
'비치 하우스'

 

정말?

 

네

 

알았어

 

'비치 하우스'

 

재밌게 읽었으면
누구 빌려줬겠네?

 

네, 그웬한테

 

빌려주면서
이런 생각 했지?

 

'나도 안 읽었음
좋았을 텐데'

 

'다시 읽고 감동받게'

 

어쩌면요

 

우리 관계가
그런 거야

 

네?

 

자긴 우리가 어떻게
만났는지 기억 못 해

 

어떻게 사랑에
빠졌는지도...

 

기가 막힐 일이지만

 

내 삶에서 가장
멋진 순간이었지

 

그래서 그 순간을
다시 느끼고 싶어

 

좋아하는 책을
처음 읽듯이?

 

- 그렇지
- 이해돼요

 

우리, 데이트하자

 

데이트?

 

처음 만나는
남녀처럼

 

모르겠어요
동생 결혼식도 다가오고...

 

날 결혼식 파트너로
데려가고 싶어질걸?

 

약속은 못 하지만
1순위로 생각해볼게

 

좋아요

 

데이트해요

 

생각한 게 있는데
시내로 나가야 해

 

괜찮겠어?

 

네, 아침 10시까지만
오면 돼요

 

맙소사

 

왜요?

 

첫 데이트에
나랑 밤샐 생각해?

 

나 그렇게
쉬운 남자 아냐

 

그게 아니라...

 

걱정 마
밤에 올 거야

 

정 같이 밤을
보내고 싶다면 모를까

 

분위기 봐서 정할까?

 

내려요?

 

아니

 

혹시 남편이란 건
거짓말이고

 

실은 미친 스토커인데
날 목 졸라 죽일 생각?

 

아니

 

우리, 이 주차장에서
처음 만났어

 

첫 데이트 장소들
돌아보려고

 

진짜 맛있어요

 

디저트 먹을까?

 

디저트?

 

와플 먹었잖아요

 

그건 저녁이고

 

디저트는 이거야

 

무슨 맛인지
어떻게 알죠?

 

일명
초콜릿 복불복!

 

스릴 있어

 

좋은 맛, 싫은 맛
골라 먹는 재미랄까

 

좋아요

 

어때?

 

별로야?

 

완전 별로예요

 

그럼 이거 먹어봐
살살 녹을 거야

 

그렇지?

 

좋아요

 

그쪽 차례

 

혼자 당하긴
억울하다?

 

여긴 핫초코도
예술이야

 

눈 오면 왔어

 

날 당뇨병 뚱녀
만들 작정이에요?

 

머리에 붙었어

 

한밤중에 호수 보려고
여길 왔어요?

 

목적은
따로 있었지

 

난...

 

- 난...
- 엉큼한 생각하긴!

 

한 달에 한 번
수영하는데

 

4월엔 못 했잖아

 

7월에 시작했지

 

왜 그런 걸
시작했는데요?

 

스파게티 식당
웨이터가 한대서

 

80살쯤 된
노인네거든

 

- 원랜 안 되는데...
- 진짜 하려고요?

 

오늘은 봐줄게
웨트슈트 입어

 

좋아요, 등 돌려요

 

딴 데 봐요!

 

됐어요

 

- 웨트슈트는?
- 원래 안 된다면서요?

 

안 돼, 안 돼!

 

됐어, 나가자

 

고마워요

 

히터 켜요

 

왼쪽 눈꺼풀이
얼어붙었어

 

손이 꽁꽁
얼었어

 

감각이 없어요

 

당신 아내 페이지는
어땠는진 모르지만

 

난 1루까지만이에요

 

알았어

 

더 잘할 수 있는데
입이 얼어서 그래

 

좋네요

 

딱 2루까지만...

 

땡잡았네

 

오늘 나와줘서
고마워

 

정말 즐거웠어요

 

자기가 그리워

 

자기랑 살 맞대고
한집에서 살 때가...

 

사랑해!

 

들어가야겠어요

 

굿나잇

 

잘 자

 

집에 있는 줄 몰랐어

 

제레미랑
데이트했어?

 

아니, 리오랑

 

사람 괜찮더라

 

응

 

나도 끌려

 

괜찮아?

 

이런 모습은 처음 봐

 

언니가 울다니...
기분 묘하다

 

나도 날 모르겠어
문신도 한 거 있지

 

그리고 내가
채식주의자래

 

예전이랑 똑같았어
아니, 더 좋았지

 

내가 사랑한 페이지
그대로였어

 

넌 데이트 통해
사랑을 확인했으니

 

기분 좋겠지만
그녀한텐

 

그저 재밌는
첫 데이트야

 

맞아
3일 기다렸다 전화해

 

아내랑 데이트하고
3일을 튕기라고?

 

최소한!
가능하면 더 튕기고

 

안돼, 토요일이
결혼식이야

 

틀림없다니까

 

상황은 달라도
여전히 사랑해

 

- 네가, 페이지가?
- 둘 다!

 

- 페이지?
- 응

 

밥 먹고
좌석카드 같이 만들자

 

그전에...

 

좋은 소식이 있다
놀라지 마

 

헌법 강의했던
포터 교수님 알지?

 

아빠랑 둘도 없는
친구인데

 

지금은 법대
학장이야

 

널 다시 받아주겠대

 

네?

 

복학 신청
안 했는데

 

아빠가 했어

 

정말...
뜻밖이네요

 

공짜로 삶을
다시 사는 기분이에요

 

연체

 

술 한잔 필요한
표정이군

 

많이 마셨어요

 

이건 안 마셨지

 

둘뿐이라 좋군

 

진지하게 얘기할
기회가 없었잖나

 

네

 

대화 좋죠

 

축하드려요

 

좋네요

 

아무렴

 

생각해봤는데

 

이쯤에서

 

그만 우리한테 맡기게

 

뭘요?

 

페이지 말일세

 

건강보험도 없더군

 

자네 수준에 맞춰
살아서겠지

 

병원비도
벅찰 텐데

 

해결책 알려줄까?

 

뭐죠?

 

내 딸과 이혼해

 

빚더미 앉는 건
순식간이야

 

그런 얘길 꺼낼 자린
아닌 거 같은데요

 

좋아

 

사업이야 망하든 말든
상관없다 치고

 

페이지는?

 

그 아일 위한 길이
뭔 거 같나?

 

- 아버님은 아세요?
- 알다마다

 

위선자시네요

 

뭐라고?

 

그렇게 가족을
아끼시는 분이

 

왜 따님을
한 번도 안 찾으셨죠?

 

비겁하세요

 

사람들과
좀 어울려요

 

불청객처럼
겉돌지 말고

 

불청객 아녜요

 

그러고 있으니까
다들 불편해해요

 

페이지 기다려요

 

행운을 빌죠

 

재밌어 죽겠지?

 

뭐가?

 

당신 버리고

 

쥐뿔도 없어 보이는
나랑 살던 걸

 

기억 못 하는 거

 

재미없다면
거짓말이지

 

난 뭐가
재밌는지 알아?

 

당신에 대해선
페이지한테 다 들었어

 

그래?

 

당신과 평생 살
생각하니

 

너무 끔찍해서 밤마다
가위눌렸다더군

 

다 들었다고?

 

요전날 나한테
들이댄 건?

 

그것도 들었어?

 

누군지 기억 못 하니
말 안 했으려나?

 

질척거리는 이유...

 

미련 남았는데

 

지금이
기회다 싶지?

 

꿈 깨
질려서 떠난 거였어

 

근데 되겠어?

 

충고 고맙군

 

당신 아내랑
뒹굴며 생각해보지

 

리오!

 

- 페이지, 기다려!
- 미쳤어요?

 

잘 물어봤어

 

나도 미쳐버릴
지경이거든

 

헛지랄 한
기분이라고!

 

자길 지키려고
바보짓까지 하는데

 

제레미한테
달려가?

 

억지 부리지 마요

 

억지?

 

그놈 보는 걸 봤어

 

그 눈빛...

 

옛날에 날 바라보던
그 눈빛이었어

 

그래
현실을 받아들이자

 

자기 기억은
안 돌아와

 

난 그저 낯선
남자일 뿐이고

 

상처 주기 싫은데

 

자꾸만...

 

실망만 시키는
나 자신이 싫어요

 

알아

 

정말 미안해요

 

동생 부부한텐
사과할게

 

아뇨
그럴 거 없어요

 

결혼식 참사는 훗날
멋진 추억담 되니까

 

다 그렇잖아요

 

사랑하는 여잘 두고
떠나는 심정이 이런 거군

 

리오?

 

언젠간 나도 당신처럼
사랑하게 되길 바라요

 

사랑을 아니까

 

그렇게 될 거야

 

젠장

 

왜 여깄는 거야?

 

괜찮아?

 

끝났어

 

다 끝났다고

 

포기할래

 

그럼 안 돼

 

붙잡고 늘어진다고
돌아오진 않을 거야

 

둘이 그리스 식당에
처음 갔던 날이었어

 

'수프 판매 개시'란
현수막이 걸렸길래

 

식당 주인 평생 꿈이
수프 파는 걸 거라며

 

말도 안 되는
헛소릴 늘어놨어

 

근데

 

내 말이 끝나고

 

말없이 가만있던
페이지가

 

숨 쉬듯 내뱉었어

 

혼잣말하듯...

 

'사랑해'

 

순간 세상이
고요해졌지

 

처음 사랑 고백받고도
난 그냥 가만히 있었어

 

계속 듣고 싶어서...

 

만난 지
2주 만이었어

 

그땐 2주 만에
날 사랑하게 됐는데...

 

날 사랑 안 해

 

서명하세요

 

들어가자

 

다이앤?

 

잘 지냈어?

 

저기...

 

오래됐지만...

 

내가 한동안
나가 살았잖아

 

너한테 사과할
기회가 없었어

 

나도 얼마나
괴로웠는지 몰라

 

너희 아빠가
끝냈어

 

엄마한테 우리 관계
들키자마자...

 

너한테
말해주고 싶었어

 

상처 들춰내고
싶진 않지만

 

이 말을 꼭 하고 싶었어
정말 미안해

 

아냐, 들으니까
차라리 낫다

 

넌 늘 좋은
친구였는데

 

되돌릴 수 있음
좋겠어

 

백합이 시들해서
해바라기로 샀어

 

- 말하려고 했어
- 넌 알았어?

 

쭉 알고 있었어?

 

미안해

 

듣기 싫어

 

언니!
언니!

 

종일 어디 갔었니?

 

페이지?

 

다이앤을
우연히 만났어

 

그래서 내가 떠난 거지?
아빠 바람피운 거 알고?

 

기억 잃고
힘들어하는 날

 

거짓말로 속이고

 

내 사고를
과거 덮는 데 이용했어?

 

다시 널
잃기 싫었어

 

배신당한 내 심정이
어떤지 알아?

 

미안하다

 

오랜만에
행복을 느꼈어

 

엄마!

 

네가 돌아와서...

 

날 속였잖아!

 

아니!

 

늘 그런 식이었어

 

페이지!

 

내 친구랑
바람을 피웠어!

 

근데 어떻게
같이 살아?

 

헤어지려고 했어

 

정말이야
떠나려고 했어

 

근데, 하루는 집에
혼자 있으면서

 

옛날 사진을 꺼내봤어

 

네 사진들

 

그웬 사진들

 

둘러보니
집 안이 온통

 

추억으로
가득했어

 

우리 가족이
보였다고

 

그 순간 깨달았다

 

엄마한텐 가족보다
소중한 게 없다는 걸

 

그래서 도저히

 

떠날 수가 없었어

 

허울 좋은 껍데기가
아까워서?

 

아니

 

아빠 곁에 남기로 한 건

 

아빠가 안겨준
소중한 추억들을

 

잘못 하나와
바꿀 순 없어서였다

 

그래서 용서했어

 

리오가 옳았어

 

엄마 아빠
그늘 밑에선

 

나 자신을
못 찾을 거야

 

페이지

 

미안해요

 

무슨 일 있어?

 

할 얘기 있나 본데,
난 갈게

 

그래

 

- 나중에 봐
- 잘 가

 

미안해요

 

무슨 일이야?

 

하나 물어볼게요

 

그래
뭐든 물어봐

 

아빠 외도 사실
알았어요?

 

응

 

알았어

 

왜 말 안 했죠?

 

마음은 굴뚝 같았지만

 

그럼 또 가족을
등지게 될 텐데

 

그럴 순 없었어

 

자길 되찾고
싶었지만

 

가족을 팔긴
싫었어

 

날 사랑해주길
바랐지

실은, 할 말이 있어

 

뭐?

 

로즈랑 헤어졌어

 

내가 끝냈지

 

맙소사

 

왜 그랬어?
약혼할 거였잖아

 

자기가 왔잖아

 

난 떠났어

 

다시 돌아왔으면
된 거야

 

예전의 너로!

 

난 예전의
내가 아냐

 

그냥 나야

 

나 자신을 찾아가는
그냥 나!

 

알아, 예전의 너든
새로운 너든

 

아무래도 좋아

 

날 연인으로
기억하잖아

 

다시 시작하자

 

자기와의 시간
좋은 추억이지만

 

내 마지막
기억일 뿐이야

 

그 이후의
기억은 없어

 

자기 없이 홀로 서는
삶을 경험하고 싶어

 

나만의 삶을...

 

나 찼을 때
정말 기억 안 나?

 

왜?

 

그때랑 소름 끼치게
똑같아

또 가족을 버리겠다고?
그때 일은

 

아비가 잘못했다

 

아빠나
그 일 때문이 아녜요

 

나 때문이죠

 

날 찾기 위해
혼자 서려는 거예요

 

어떡하면 되겠니?
널 다시 잃을 순 없어

 

그럴 일 없어요

우리 삶을
변화시키는 순간들

 

우리가 아무리
애쓰고 노력해도

 

그 순간들을
통제할 순 없다

 

뒤엉킨 조각들이
어디로 떨어질지

 

기다릴 뿐...

 

바로 그게 우리네 삶이다

진짜야?

 

잘했어

 

수업 몇 개 듣는데

 

머리는 잊었는데
손은 기억하더라고요

 

참 신기하죠?

 

그래

 

당신한테
고마워요

 

내가 뭘 했다고

 

전부 다요

 

날 있는 그대로
받아줬어요

 

바꾸려 하지도 않고

 

자기가

그뿐이야

 

여기 닫았으면 가던

이 근처 아닌가요?

 

그래...

 

잠깐만

 

기억나?

 

아뇨

 

그럼 좋게요

 

기억은 그대로예요

 

종종 소냐랑 어울리는데

 

우리 사이에 대해
조사 좀 했죠

 

그래?
소냐가 뭐래?

 

지금 특별히 만나는
사람 없다고...

 

제대로 아네

 

자기는?
만나는 사람 있어?

 

잘됐네

 

그럼, 쿠바 식당 갈래요?

 

나랑 같이?

 

좋아

실제 커플은 자녀 둘과

그녀의 기억은
돌아오지 않았다

 

Wow, it was barely an inch when we went in.

 

It's so beautiful.

 

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

 

I can't feel my fingers.

 

Thank you.

 

...do anything for love

 

You do not like this song.

 

I would do anything for love

 

I would do anything for love

 

You have to turn it off.

 

But I won't do that

 

Oh, no, I won't...

 

I'm married to a cheeser! Please, stop!

 

- You love it. Say you love it.
- Stop!

 

Stop it!

 

- You love that song.
- Oh, Leo.

 

Hey, I have this theory.

 

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

 

What?

 

I have a theory, too.
My theory is about moments.

 

Moments of impact.

 

My theory is that these moments of impact,

 

these flashes of high intensity
that completely turn our lives upside down,

 

actually end up defining who we are.

 

Thanks.

 

Next in line.

 

One of my absolute favorite moments.

 

You forgot your permit.

 

Yeah. Well, I just sort of
come here to enjoy the two-hour line.

 

The permit's sort of a bonus.

 

The Art Institute.

 

- 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 what, I noticed,
in a totally non-threatening way,

 

we have the same RPP zone.

 

Is that right?

 

Yup.

 

- You have impressive powers of observation.
- Yes.

 

What's an RPP zone?

 

Residential permit parking 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?

 

All right, okay.

 

After you.

 

Pick a hand. Pick a hand. Pick a hand.

 

- That one.
- Here we go.

 

This is good.

 

Let me know if you need anything else.

 

- Did you just fart?
- No.

 

Maybe a little.

 

That is so twisted.

 

But totally romantic.

 

God, I'm 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 calm their systems

 

and allow the brain time to heal itself
while the swelling subsides.

 

And then we slowly wean them off it. Now...

 

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?
- Nothing.

 

- Really?
- No.

 

- What's that?
- Nothing.

 

Nothing? Food's ready.

 

Look, if you keep feeding that fleabag,
it's gonna 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 the farmers' market?

 

- Buying groceries, bad sign.
- What?

 

- And we all know what that means.
- I like her.

 

She's like our mascot.

 

Thanks, I think.

 

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.

 

Yes.

 

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 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 love.

 

And to always know
in the deepest part of my soul

 

that no matter what challenges
might carry us apart,

 

that we'll always find the way back
to each other.

 

Do you take each other as spouses forever?

 

I do.

 

I do.

 

Then by the power vested in me
by the State of Illinois, I...

 

Security.

 

I now pronounce you man and wife
and best friends for life.

 

Kiss! Run!

 

I have one piece. One piece.

 

It's... It's not happening.

 

I don't...

 

Oh, my God.

 

- You're gonna be fine.
- Oh, my God. I'm gonna have to call them.

 

I'm gonna have to call them
and tell them that I can't do it.

 

Come to bed with me.

 

Come on.
I know you wanna come to bed with me.

 

Don't!

 

Oh, no, please, no.

 

- Stop it!
- Okay, okay, okay.

 

I think this one's coming along fine.

 

I mean, 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 now 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.

 

Was anyone else hurt, Doctor?

 

Paige, you know who I am, right?

 

Yeah. You're my doctor.

 

I'm your husband.

 

Paige?

 

- Mr. Collins?
- You said things were very good.

 

A brain injury isn't like
a broken bone or a 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 or 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?

 

Hi.

 

- What are you up to?
- Sleeping.

 

Right.

 

I brought you some clothes.

 

Thank you.

 

I'm kind of hungry.

 

Okay.

 

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 it takes too long to straighten

 

and you'd rather use that time
to 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 12x12
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.

 

- Traumatic brain injury is 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 going to 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 gonna remember you.
She's gonna remember all of us.

 

We're her family.

 

Yeah, you're right.

 

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.
- It's a donor's wing.

 

Just go down here and take the elevator
to the second floor and make a right.

 

Okay. Thanks.

 

Paige, your long-term memory recall is intact

 

and I'm very optimistic 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 second-hand

 

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?

 

So, Doctor, now what is the next step?

 

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

 

Starting in a week or so,
I'm gonna recommend

 

that Paige see a neural psychologist.

 

- Okay.
- Whatever she needs.

 

Therapy, specialists,
I'll make sure she gets the best.

 

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,
'cause we really appreciate that,

 

but you 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,
'cause you haven't even asked her once.

 

- Well, no, but...
- What I really need is for everyone

 

to just stop bickering!

 

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

 

No. Sorry.

 

I think you should all head home,
get some rest.

 

I'm sure everyone could use it.

 

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 had 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... I don't know.

 

Paige.

 

Okay, babe, babe, just, just...

 

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

 

You heard what the doctor said.
It's 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 get married
for all kinds of different reasons.

 

- Okay. Like?
- Like for a green card.

 

I'm from Cincinnati.

 

Did I keep a journal?

 

No, not that I know of.

 

I guess this is all he could find.

 

Oh, well. It looks fine, honey.

 

I mean, we're just going home, so...

 

- It's horrible...
- Paige?

 

I understand you're finally leaving us.

 

Yes, that's what they tell me.

 

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

 

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

 

- All right?
- Thank you so much.

 

- Thank you, Doctor, for everything.
- 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.

 

Hey, baby.

 

I'm sorry, I'm still at my studio.

 

I miss you so bad
my sculptures are starting to look like you.

 

So, what are you doing later?

 

I kind of need some Leo time,
if you know what I mean.

 

Yeah. Anyway, call me back.

 

Love you.

 

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

 

No, no, it's...

 

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.

 

Please, 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 change my mind.

 

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

 

- A guarded endorsement.
- But I will take it.

 

I look like a freak.

 

I think you look great.

 

- Where do we live?
- On the north side.

 

Who's the president?

 

- Of the country?
- Yeah.

 

Obama.

 

The senator?

 

Yeah. You voted for him.

 

I did?

 

Welcome home.

 

After you.

 

Surprise!

 

It's 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 close?

 

I'm Sonia. And this is my boyfriend Kyle.

 

- Hey, Paige.
- And this is Jim.

 

- You look great, Paige.
- And Lily.

 

Hey. What, were you, like,
working out at the hospital?

 

- Hey, Paige.
- And Josh.

 

I... Sorry, I... Excuse me.

 

Thank you all for coming.
I'm sorry it ended early.

 

It's all right. Take care, Leo.

 

Are you okay?

 

What do you think?

 

I know. It's a lot to take in.

 

No.

 

A lot to take in would've 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.

 

It was only supposed to be a few people.

 

Will you please just get out?

 

Paige, I'm sorry.

 

Are you honestly not gonna leave me alone?

 

- I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry.

 

Of course.

 

I'm sorry.

 

Oh, my God. Oh, my mother's gonna kill me.

 

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

 

- What?
- You didn't knock!

 

It's habit. I'm sorry.

 

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

 

This is not funny. You should knock.

 

I'm sorry.

 

- You look nice.
- Really?

 

This is about the only piece of
my clothing I feel comfortable in.

 

That's mine, actually.

 

No, it's fine.

 

What?

 

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 is my routine? What do I do all day?

 

Well...

 

You usually get up and make coffee.

 

- All right.
- No, no, no. I got it, I got it, I got it.

 

I did it this morning, I think.

 

And then you... No, don't. That one's for me.

 

You don't eat meat.

 

Then you check e-mails and pay bills.

 

Okay.

 

Which I'm betting that you don't remember
any of the passwords

 

or account numbers, huh?

 

- So, I guess I'll do that.
- Okay.

 

And then you go down to your studio.

 

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

 

You know what? We don't have to rehash
everything right now.

 

I mean, just...

 

You go to work, and we can make
flashcards later, or something.

 

- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.

 

Okay. Well, your, look...

 

You got keys, phone here.

 

If you need me, all my numbers are on there.

 

- Okay.
- Okay.

 

- All right.
- Yup.

 

Have a good day.

 

- What's up, Lil?
- Hey.

 

Fill me in.

 

That guy, Pointy Shoes?
He's a really bad kisser.

 

I don't think I'm gonna 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 rebooked over at Soundspace.

 

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 one-woman operation.

 

- It's not like I flaked or something.
- I know, I get it. I'm not mad.

 

I'm just... I'm just saying shit's slipping.

 

Well, I'm here now.

 

- How's she doing?
- She's getting there.

 

She's...

 

Look, thanks.

 

It'll be fine.

 

Okay. Good.

 

So, you'll be at the 3:30 pitch?

 

Of course.

 

I'm going to head home, then change,
and check on Paige,

 

- but I'll be there.
- Okay.

 

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.

 

Did you write your vows on a menu?

 

Weird.

 

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 love.

 

And to always know
in the deepest part of my soul,

 

no matter what challenges
might carry us apart,

 

that we'll always find the way back
to each other.

 

- Hi.
- Hi.

 

Could I have a...

 

One of these?

 

You don't want the usual?

 

I have a usual?

 

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

 

- All right.
- Here you go.

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks.

 

Paige?

 

Can I help you?

 

Could I borrow your phone?

 

Hello?

 

Hey, Lil. No, I know it's 3:30.

 

Look, I can't. I can't. I gotta find Paige.

 

No, no. I don't know. Make it up.

 

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

 

Get in, sweetheart. Get in.

 

Oh, sweetie.

 

- You all right?
- Yeah.

 

- Hey.
- Hey.

 

Where you been?
I was starting to get a little worried.

 

Thought something
might've happened to you.

 

Sorry. I was lost, physically.

 

Mentally, I guess, as well.

 

Well, you should've called me.

 

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

 

so I called my mom
and we made a day of it, which was great.

 

She invited us for dinner tonight.

 

Dinner? Okay.

 

You don't have to go.

 

Well, you're not allowed to 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 right now they're the only thing
I'm sure about.

 

Okay.

 

We'll go.

 

Okay.

 

- Okay.
- Are you gonna change?

 

Changing.

 

It's just a left up here at the Caldwells',
and then a right at the cul-de-sac,

 

and we're six houses in on the right.

 

The Prestleys got a new mailbox. So cute.

 

You know,
this arrangement doesn't exactly say,

 

"I'm sorry that we haven't spoken,

 

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

 

You're right.

 

We should've got them forget-me-nots.

 

That's funny.

 

Actually, that is funny.

 

So, 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...
- Gwen.

 

I know a lot about your family, Paige.

 

- Right. Yeah.
- We're married. You know?

 

- Oh, my God, you're engaged!
- I know.

 

- You guys make a really cute couple.
- Thanks, Paige.

 

It has been forever.

 

- Has it?
- Yeah.

 

The weird thing is that everyone looks
a little bit older.

 

- Really?
- Yeah. You, especially.

 

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

 

In honor of Paige being home,
I made your favorite dinner.

 

Filet mignon.

 

Please. Please. Sit down.

 

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

 

Darling?

 

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

 

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

 

and, when we're all together,
that fortune just multiplies.

 

Paige, honey, welcome home.

 

To family.

 

So, Leo, what about your family?

 

Do you see them often?

 

- No.
- That's a shame.

 

Both my parents are dead.

 

It's just Paige.

 

She's my family now.

 

And 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 they 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 gonna get that
in your computer.

 

You're gonna want a live room,
you're gonna want to bounce to tape.

 

You're gonna want real musicians in a room,
vibing off of each other.

 

You...

 

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 heard everyone is gonna be here tonight.

 

This kind of thing
might be a little too much for Paige.

 

No, I'm good here, actually.

 

Isn't that Diane Chain?

 

Yeah, we don't really hang out anymore.

 

God, you have been away a long time.

 

Oh, my God!

 

Good luck, man.

 

- Hi!
- Hi.

 

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

 

This is Shana, Carrie, Lizbet.

 

Hi.

 

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 if she mentioned it. I'm Leo.

 

- Hi.
- Paige's husband.

 

Right. I'm gonna grab a drink.
You guys want anything?

 

- Disaronno 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,

 

we were curling your hair...

 

We ended up burning off half your hair.

 

I totally remember that!

 

And didn't I wind up
having to wear a beret to the dance?

 

No, no, no, that was the...

 

It was 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-fiance Jeremy?
- No, no. No.

 

In her mind, it's current fiance Jeremy.

 

Which is why
it was probably pretty annoying

 

to have her stranger husband
cock-block her all night.

 

That is a lot to get my mind around.

 

So, what turns her on?

 

- Paige?
- No, her mother.

 

Yes, Paige.

 

Like, in bed?

 

Oh, my God, Leo.

 

What? It's private. It's...

 

I don't know. It's... It's kind of
a between-me-and-her kind of thing.

 

Hey, I'm not gonna judge.

 

She likes being tickled.

 

Seriously?

 

Thought you weren't gonna judge.

 

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

 

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 they have...

 

Something important just 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,
then come back and demand answers.

 

So I dumped you?

 

A cruel, hard, pre-wedding dumping.

 

Why?

 

Well, that's a question
that I and all of my friends

 

and the two rebound girls, yeah,
we'd all love an answer to.

 

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

 

You...

 

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.

 

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 break-up

 

and come waltzing into your office
demanding answers?

 

What's wrong with you?

 

I'm sorry. I'm gonna let you go back to work.

 

Sure.

 

- Sorry.
- I'm sorry.

 

I was not expecting that.

 

Habit, I guess.

 

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.

 

- Hey.
- How was your day?

 

It was fine.

 

I'm 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 seeing everybody last night.

 

To 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... 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 the State of Illinois to prove it.

 

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

 

See, I started over here.

 

I found some family photos,
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.

 

No. How are we ever gonna know
if they had toasted ravioli?

 

God, this is not happening.

 

- It's okay.
- This is not happening.

 

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

 

- Come on.
- What...

 

What are you doing?

 

I'm sorry.

 

I'm sorry. Was that...
That was one of our things?

 

- Yeah, kind of. It...
- I'm sorry...

 

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

 

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

 

Iet you fall back into your life.

 

It'll all sort itself out.

 

Yeah.

 

About a dozen downtown
businesses were boarded up...

 

Glass littered sidewalks,
following two nights of protests

 

- over the police shooting of an...
- Hey.

 

There were few people on the street.

 

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

 

- WilI 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?

 

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 guy
on the corner of Diversey.

 

We lit 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've done the trick, though,

 

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

 

Sure you do. Wait, hold on.

 

That's better. Come on.

 

Just try it. It might be fun.

 

Can you just 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 be able to focus...

 

I have a clinically bad, goddamn headache!
Please turn down the music!

 

I'm trying to help you!

 

But I am not your punching bag.

 

We don't speak to each other like this.

 

This is hard for me, too, Paige.

 

Paige?

 

Yeah?

 

- Hey.
- Hey.

 

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

 

and I got us some...

 

- Is somebody here?
- Yeah.

 

- Leo.
- Hey.

 

My sister's just up to her eyeballs
with this wedding stuff,

 

and we've got
the engagement party coming up.

 

And we all thought Paige could come home
and help her out.

 

It just seems like the right thing to do,
to 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 gonna 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. It's 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?

 

Can I at least give you an awkward hug?

 

- So, how are you feeling?
- I feel fine.

 

Yeah? No dizziness,
disorientation, sleepiness?

 

- Nope.
- Great.

 

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

 

What a relief. Well...

 

So, 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 again.

 

It's wonderful.

 

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

 

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

 

All right.

 

Thanks.

 

Paige, do you want to regain your memory?

 

Yes.

 

Because some patients fear
that when their memory comes back,

 

so will the memory of the trauma,
but mercifully that's rarely the case.

 

Oh, no, that's not it. I'm... I'm...

 

I'm not afraid of the accident.

 

So, what are you afraid of?

 

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

 

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

 

Or what if I like it too much?

 

I...

 

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 holes.

 

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 gonna live in fear
of your own past.

 

Hey. I'm here.

 

These guys are?

 

Knife Skillz, with a Z.

 

Right.

 

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

 

I am going for it.

 

The bass line is one note.

 

- Just one note.
- Okay, cool.

 

Take two.

 

You look different.

 

Yeah. Going for a Kanye kind of thing.

 

I'm gonna say more Michael Buble,
but, whatever, it's still good.

 

So... I'm gonna 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.

 

But if 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.

 

- You found each other.
- Hi!

 

- Hi.
- Let's see it.

 

It's good to see you. All right, take it easy.

 

- The countdown's on, man.
- Hey, 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, but...

 

What?

 

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

 

It's like panic or excitement.

 

Well, panic and excitement are different.

 

- Honey, there's gonna be 400 people there.
- Right.

 

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

 

Yeah. Is that bad?

 

Do you listen to Radiohead?

 

Thom Yorke,
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.

 

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

 

- That's cool, man.
- Cheers.

 

Ryan, I have someone I want you to meet.

 

- Mom, you listen to Radiohead?
- Yeah. Why wouldn't I?

 

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?

 

- 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?

 

Yeah. Gwen, I think.

 

Okay, and you probably said to yourself,

 

"God, I wish I was the person
that hadn't read it,

 

"so that I could experience it all over again."

 

Yeah, I guess so.

 

That's how I think we should look at this.

 

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.
- Got you.

 

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.

 

Jeremy...

 

Yeah, I'm sorry.

 

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

 

But if we 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 10:00 in the morning.

 

- Oh, my God.
- What?

 

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

 

I'm just a little scandalized is all.

 

- No, I just meant...
- Don't worry. I'll have you back tonight.

 

If you wanna stay the night, that's...
I mean, it's... If you want...

 

You wanna just see how it goes? All right.

 

Should we get out?

 

We don't have to.

 

Is this the part of the date where I find out

 

you're not actually my husband
but some crazy stalker,

 

and you're gonna strangle me
with my purse?

 

No. This is the exact parking spot
where we first met.

 

I'm gonna take you on
a little retrospective of us.

 

That is so good.

 

You ready for dessert?

 

Dessert?

 

- We just had waffles.
- This is dinner.

 

These 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 we liked
and the ones we didn't.

 

Okay.

 

And...

 

- You don't like it?
- I do not like that one.

 

Here. Try this one.
I think you'd like this one.

 

- Told you.
- Okay.

 

Your turn.

 

Are we going shot for shot?

 

Wait till you try their hot chocolate.

 

We would come here whenever it snowed.

 

Are you trying to make me diabetic
or just fat?

 

No, I...

 

You got a... It's still in your hair.

 

So, we come down here at night
and look at the lake?

 

That's not exactly what we do.

 

I... I'm not...

 

- I don't...
- No, no, it's not that.

 

We said we'd go in once a month every
month, and we haven't done April yet.

 

We started in July.

 

Why? Why would we do that?

 

We were at this spaghetti place,
and we had this waiter and he said he did it.

 

And he was, like, 80.
So we thought we could.

 

Yeah.

 

- Now, we said no wetsuits, but...
- You're serious.

 

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

 

All right. Turn around.

 

Turn around.

 

Okay.

 

- Wait. No wetsuit?
- We said no wetsuits, right?

 

Yeah.

 

Oh, no.

 

No, no. No, no!

 

Come on.

 

Thank you.

 

- Heat, heat.
- My left eyelid's frozen shut.

 

I can't feel my fingers.

 

I can't feel them.

 

I don't know what your Paige
did on a first date,

 

but with me, you're only getting to first base.

 

Okay.

 

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

 

It's nice.

 

Second base, tops.

 

This is perfect.

 

Thank you for coming out with me tonight.

 

I had a really nice time.

 

I've missed you.

 

I miss our life together.
I miss being with you.

 

I love you.

 

I should probably get inside.

 

Good night.

 

Hey.

 

Hey. I didn't know you were gonna be here.

 

Were you out with Jeremy?

 

No.

 

I was with Leo.

 

I like him.

 

Yeah.

 

Me, too.

 

Are you okay?

 

Paige, I've never seen you like this before.

 

I mean, is this crying thing the new you?

 

Because it's bizarre.

 

I don't know. I don't know what's me.
I have a tattoo.

 

And I'm a vegetarian, too.

 

Look, it was just like it used to be.
It was better, actually.

 

Everything that I fell in 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 gotta wait

 

the requisite three days before you call.

 

I gotta wait three days to call
after a date with my own wife?

 

At least. This is a unique case. Maybe longer.

 

It can't be longer. I'm gonna see her
on Saturday at the wedding.

 

I'm telling you, it was so obvious.

 

Even with all this crazy shit
going on around us, we still belong together.

 

- Obvious to her or to you?
- To both of us.

 

- Paige?
- Yeah?

 

We have to start writing out
those place cards after we eat.

 

Yes.

 

Before you start on that,

 

I have a little surprise for you, Paige.

 

You know Ray Porter, right?

 

He taught constitutional law at Northwestern.

 

He and I were on law review together.
We've known each other 1,000 years.

 

He is the dean of the law school now.

 

- Okay.
- And they're gonna let you back in.

 

What?

 

Well...

 

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 several.

 

But you haven't had this.

 

All right.

 

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.

 

- That's nice.
- Yes, 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.

 

But I also know a way out of this.

 

What's that?

 

Divorce her.

 

The bills have only just begun, Leo.

 

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

 

Fine. If you don't care
about losing your business,

 

which, clearly, you 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...

 

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. If you say so. You just seem
a little creepy over here all by yourself.

 

I'm 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?

 

Well, 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?"

 

She told you everything, huh?

 

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 have been driving myself 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 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 know.

 

I'm so sorry.

 

I'll apologize to Gwen and Ryan.

 

Oh, God, no, it's fine.

 

Wedding disasters have a way
of turning into great stories.

 

Eventually.

 

How do you 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.

 

No, 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

 

on the corner.

 

There was this big banner saying
"Now Serving Soup,"

 

and 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... And when I was finished...

 

She didn't say anything for a few seconds
and she just...

 

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 wanna respond.

 

I just wanted to keep hearing it.

 

That was two weeks after we met.

 

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

 

She doesn't love me.

 

Sign here, please.

 

Come here, little buddy.

 

Diane?

 

Hey.

 

- How are you?
- Listen...

 

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 your dad ended it

 

as soon as your mother
confronted him about us.

 

And I just always wanted you to know that.

 

I don't mean to open old wounds, but...

 

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've returned the favor.

 

The lilies were bad,
so I got sunflowers instead.

 

- 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?

 

Paige?

 

I ran into Diane Chain 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.

 

- Mom!
- We finally had you back again.

 

- Back on your terms!
- No!

 

- Yes, as usual!
- Paige!

 

He cheated on you with my friend!

 

How could you stay with him?

 

I...

 

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 WASPed 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 thing
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.

 

I still feel a little chilly.
I don't care what you say.

 

That's fine.

 

Paige.

 

- I'm sorry.
- Is everything okay?

 

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

 

- Okay.
- Talk to you later.

 

All right, bye.

 

I'm... 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?

 

That just felt wrong.

 

I wanted your love, I...

 

Just not like that.

 

I wanted to earn it.

 

I just don't think I can afford
to lose them right now.

 

So don't.

 

Certain parties have sought
to nullify various congressional acts,

 

claiming that repeated extensions
of copyright protection

 

constitute a perpetual copyright

 

of the sort the drafters
of the Constitution would have rejected.

 

The United States Supreme Court,
in the 2003 case of Eldred v. Ashcroft...

 

Thanks for lunch.

 

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

 

Okay.

 

Things are over with Rose.

 

I ended it, Paige.

 

No. Why did you do that?

 

I thought you were getting engaged...

 

We were, but that was before you.

 

No, that was after me.

 

Okay, it was 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, but, 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.

 

- 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 after you is erased.

 

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?

 

'Cause it sounded a hell of a lot like that.

 

Let's go.

 

Hey. I was looking all over.

 

I was worried when I didn't see you
outside the library.

 

So...

 

How's that intellectual property class going?

 

Actually, I wanna talk to you about that.

 

I've decided to leave law school.

 

And I'm gonna 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.

 

A moment 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

 

Ianding where you 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 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 did n'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... That's great.

 

I'm actually back at the Art Institute.

 

What? Are you kidding me?

 

That's amazing.

 

Yeah. I mean, I'm sitting in on a few classes,

 

and it's crazy what my hands remember

 

that my, you know, that my mind forgot.

 

Yeah.

 

So, 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 wanted you to be happy.

 

That's all.

 

Isn't there some Cuban place around here

 

where we used to go
when this place was closed?

 

Yeah. It's... Wait. You remember?

 

No, no.

 

I wish.

 

No, the memory stuff
hasn't come back, but I've...

 

Sonia and I have been hanging out a little bit,

 

and I've been asking her about us.

 

Really? And what has she been saying?

 

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

 

She just happens to be right.

 

You? Are you seeing anyone?

 

That's good.

 

So, do you wanna go to the Cuban place?

 

With me?

 

Okay.

 

Okay.

 

What would you say to trying someplace
that we haven't been to before?

 

Someplace new?

 

I'd like that.

 

After you.
