i got you a few necessities.
i also put side two of london calling on there.
you have your ticket?
wait.
i know weve talked about this a thousand times and we both agree that going to london is the right thing to do. but in my heart.  this feels wrong.
believe me i know what an incredible opportunity this is for you.
right, for us. but. im afraid that if you get on that plane.
go. im sorry, you should just go.
we're being responsible. go. get on the plane.
get the hell outta my sight. you bother me.
i can't seem to let go of you.
you want to do something great, jack? let's flush the plan. start our lives right now, today. i don't know what that life's gonna look like but i do know it has both of us in it. and i choose us.
the plan doesn't make us great, jack. what we have together, that's what makes us great.
mmmm. ten more minutes, jack.  its christmas.
youre jumping, sweetheart.
mommy needs five more minutes in la la land. that could be her present.
jack?
use an entire can if you have to!
hold on a second.
ten years ago.
never mind, he just walked in.
where were you?
the city? new york city? why?
jack. dont even start.
you know what, jack? its not funny this time. im really angry.
you missed the whole thing, jack. the pancakes, the presents. you spent six hours putting that bike together and you didnt even get to see the look on annies face when she opened it.
look, we dont have time for this right now, well talk about it later. now get dressed.  youre not wearing that to the thompsons party. i dont care how hilarious you think it is.
you look forward to this party all year. whats with you today?
fine. do whatever you want.
telling my mother she doesnt have to stay with the kids.
because youll be here.
funny, jack. im laughing on the inside.
jack?
are you sure youre okay?
uh huh.
then she asks me to put this sweater on. what choice do i have, right?
jack.
i better go wake my mother.
shes your dog, jack.
fine, shes the kids dog. lets go wake josh, see if he wants to walk her.
youre having a bad day, ill go with you. actually, theres no way in hell youre gettin me back out there.
my feet are hurtin.
and?
the kids are asleep.
i thought we had a deal about you watching cnbc in bed.
fine, but not tonight.
that is the general idea, yes.
its ten thirty, jack. by eleven youre gonna be sprawled out on the bed snoring your head off. we dont have time for wining and dining.
thanks, jack.
this is good stuff, jack, keep it coming.
how can you do that?
look at me like you havent seen me every day for the last twelve years.
were almost done here.
thats right. okay, lets make a quick stop at the kids shoe department, pick up my watch from the battery place, then ill run into the linen store.
you know what, jack?! ill go with the kids. why dont you just hang out here in the mens department.  okay?
you look amazing in that suit.
i mean. wow. off the charts great.
$2,400?! are you out of your mind?
those shoes were twenty five dollars. cmon, take it off. well go to the food court and get one of those funnel cakes you like.
no?
excuse me?
really.
its sad to hear your life is such a disappointment to you, jack.
who are you?
maybe youre not. the jack campbell i married wouldnt need a $2400 suit to make himself feel better about his life, but if thats what its gonna take, then buy it. just buy the goddamn suit . we can take the money out of the kids college fund.
ill give you this, life has thrown us a few surprises.
well. annie for one.
i think it worked out okay, dont you?
good, jack. maybe well keep her.
we were young.  remember that little place on charles street we used to go to?
you cant really raise a kid in an apartment in the village.
jack, stop that. i'm still mad at you.  . who knows what wouldve happened if you hadnt stepped in at the store.
if you want to look at it that way.
a great success story.
how was the game, honey?
you mean this chocolate cake?
its good.
no way.
sorry, jack. its too important to me.
you want the cake!?
its good, right?
say it, jack.
cmon, you know what i like to hear.
then say it. just say it to me!
what?
nice, jack. youre sweeping me off my feet.
jack.
time to get up, honey.
happy anniversary, honey.
no, open it.
enjoy it, sweetheart.
what are you talking about? you never wait all day. you can barely wait until its light out.
you forgot.
jesus, jack. is this where we are now? is this our marriage? suddenly im the wife who has to drop hints two weeks before her anniversary so her husband doesnt fuck it up?
i dont want to be that, jack.
which do you think?
fightings a part of it, annie. you know that, right?
cmere.
now go like this.
you okay?
jack. can we afford all this?
how do you even know about this place?
its five hundred and fifty dollars, jack!
you are so not off the hook yet, slick.
i dont think theres dancing here, jack.
pretty good for a tire salesman from jersey.
mmmm.  . here, try one of these.
okay.
now im worried. just say it. whatever it is well deal with it.
worse, you mean.
and now?
me neither.
cmon, jack, you think there arent mornings when i wake up and wonder what the hell im doing in new jersey.
my office is a dump, i answer my own phone. and youve seen my pay check.
i mean yes, i help people that need it.
god, sometimes i think it would be so nice not to have to stretch ground beef or maybe drive a car with a cd player.
i think about it, too, jack. i do. i think about the kind of person id be if i hadnt married you.
and i realize ive just erased the things in my life im most sure about. you, the kids.
what are you sure about?
this is so beautiful.
i dont know how you did it, hoss, but you pulled it off.
way out.
i already told you you were gonna get lucky, jack.
thats all i wanted to hear.
mmmm. jack.
have a good day.
its like a museum.
for the week?
a perk for what?
what are you talking about, jack?
are you out of your mind?
annie goes to a great school.
jack, what could you possibly be thinking? what about my job?
i cant believe you want to move back into the city. i thought the reason we left was because we didnt want to raise the kids here?
jack.
in traffic? its over an hour each way? thats almost three hours a day. when are you going to see the kids?
then get a goddamn snow blower!
they already do envy us, jack.
our finest moment, right.
hey.
its been interesting, thats for sure.
youve been jack campbell. and thats always a good thing.
are you okay, jack?
i promise, jack.
i promise. come to bed, honey.
did you call the airline like i asked?!
jack. god, its been so long. you look.
its good to see you.
dont worry about it, jack.
im moving to paris. it was right here.  its a box marked jack. i put it in the stack for the salvation army.
hey, kind of under a little pressure here.
you didnt seem to mind offering to help me on christmas day when you were unwrapping that prada bag i gave you.
uh huh. to paris. my firm has an office there and im going to be heading it up.
thats the one.
not with what they pay me.
no, jack, i never got married. you?
yes!
here you go. its just some old things of yours.
youre serious.
jesus, jack.
jack.
what do you want from me? you want me to tell you everything that happened was okay?
dont do this, jack.  but he continues.
Okay, Jack.
