this is kelly, leave me a message and i'll call you back soon as i can.
sonofabitch!
chuck! you're back!
your eyes are puffy. did you take valium again?
my last chapter's in there, and the damn machine's jammed.
how was russia?
don't overwhelm me with details, you know how i hate that. did you get it fixed?
chuck, forget the xerox. so russia didn't turn out well?
chuck.
yeah, tell me. tell me all of it.
you don't even know what time it is. what day it is.
come on.
we're on the deck of the ketch, the air's soft, the water's clear as crystal.
we're covered with suntan lotion and sweat. our skin is so hot, it's glowing.
we could take a swim.
merry christmas eve.
you break four million packages last night?
you don't seem too happy about it.
let me guess, russia came up?
merry christmas.
i figure, if we could take care of a puppy, we could, you know, take care of --
he's your cute thing.
a puppy's got a little more personality than a fish.
so do good things come in large packages?
for when i travel?
you should have got me something that shows you want us to be together, not apart.
you should have got me a ring.
a ring. i wanted a ring.
you can't go now.
you want to.
this isn't working out.
"we're" not over-reacting.
no.
that's your dog.
there isn't any us.
i'm sorry about the presents. i got a little carried away.
i burned the christmas tree.
why didn't you come over, get mad at me, tell me what a stupid bitch i was.
what, you were going to come over the next day all calm and say, kelly that really made me mad? don't tell me you're mad. be mad. be who you are right now.
don't even start.
get back? from where?
give him to me.
chuck, you're breaking my heart.
go on. we'll be fine. i'll feed jango to the frogs.
hello.
hello? hello?
i'm sorry.  i'm sorry.
you're so thin. am i hurting you?
right back, you said you'd be right back.
i got married.
i would never --
if i'd known you were alive --
i didn't want to. it just happened. one day gary was there. he took care of everything. he took care of me. i was a mess.
her name's hannah.
no, this is jack. jango was hit by a ups truck. can you believe it?
what's that?
all that time i waited to go on a cruise, and you went without me.
what's that, written on the sail?
i buried you, chuck. they had to pry my fingers off your coffin.
yeah, coffin, headstone, the whole thing.
your calendar, your cell phone, your whoo pig sooey hat, some pictures of that ketch you wanted.
maybe now's when you tell me about it.
yeah?
don't overwhelm me with the details. you know how i hate that.
come on. try.
so simple to say, so hard to do.
you hated being alone. couldn't stand it. busy every minute. always plugged into something.
this is so unfair.
you okay?
what will you do?
i've got to get back to memphis. hannah's babysitter has finals.
i had to come. to be sure you were okay.
i love you, chuck.
i'm so glad you're alive.
