♪ ♪

I'm sorry, Barbara.

You deserve the whole story.

Jon, you say everything
happens for a reason.

I can't find a reason for this.

JON: You deserve the truth.

That was beautiful.

You once told me that
we can't change the past.

We can only change our reaction to it.

Because even if the past is painful,

you never know when it'll
lead to something wonderful.



But, Barbara, after what
happened all those years ago,

I think I get it now.

So if I were to ask myself today

if I'd change the past
or my reaction to it...

Somebody!

...honestly,

- ...I'd say both.
- Help!

He left this morning before
I could even yell at him.

It's been two years, Eddie.

- I've tried everything.
- I feel the same way.

I can't be in this marriage anymore,

and I want to be with you.

Now, in exactly 5 hours, 12 minutes,

Katherine's gonna come home,

and she's gonna want to get

take-out Indian food. Again.

My people are from Milwaukee.

We weren't bred to
eat that much vindaloo.

What about Theo?

What are you gonna tell Theo?

I don't know what I'm gonna tell Theo.

Maybe that Daddy needs to be happy.

Damn it. See you soon.

- I love you.
- Love you, too.
