engaged to each other either we'll get married and we'll stay married because frankly love isn't something you just toss around between the lost and found you really mean like till death do you part no more like forever why you ty you are a romantic who would have guessed it a man who actually believes in happily ever after i hope you find it this one is your fault almost everything is whose idea was it to have him pick her up now claire i could have picked her up you could have picked her up well i don't think she would have enjoyed that nearly as much i suppose you'd prefer she'd date the same riff-raff she's been bringing home since junior high captain non-commitment mark will he'd be a whole lot better than some hypertensive boy scout well i don't know i think he's kind of cute why didn't you tell me he was so handsome eddie i imagined him to be someone more humble you three behave sam i'd like you to meet my family this is my father and my mother mr mrs riley oh no need to be so formal call them eddie and claire they love that kind of thing and this is my grandmother and you can call me anything you want i had so much fun the other night that i asked sam to show me more of the city he's lived here his whole life tell them that fascinating thing you told me on the way home from the airport did you know that uh there's a difference in humidity between here in new york

when i'm alone with you that's not what i meant what exactly do you mean we have to go he can be so shy sometimes don't wait up so now i can say i have seen the mormon vatican temple square the government's got us kicked out there wasn't a sign i don't think they anticipated someone would actually go waiting in the reflection pool can i get you anything else i'd like classroom remote please

bunch of fruit my style's just different from yours it's not a matter of style so we see the world differently maybe we're looking for different things the point is did you feel something here you can't repeat it here you're right it's your exhibit anyway and i'm just not ready nonsense you're a marvelous painter and i would love to have some of your work concluded in the exhibit but this is an exercise if you want to be an artist you have to take a risk find something you don't own completely something that you feel so deeply that you can't imagine you could ever possibly paint it paint that he was a cute little boy wasn't he he didn't turn out too bad he'll do well he's definitely not your typical guy i didn't know if you'd be back after last time you saw no sam told me you know sometimes he can be a little intense really oh yes he once told me that he didn't think it was proper for a woman my age to be singing and dancing in the kitchen he was five well despite all his quirks he has a good heart he wouldn't push so hard if he didn't care this is all very important to him isn't it yeah in a way it's who he is joe are you telling tales on our son only the most

mark do you honestly believe two people can be so happy together they want it to last forever happily ever after it's kind of a it's kind of a cliched notion that you think i mean with uh yeah i think

couldn't live without her i must have her convinced as well there's always time right guess so so mark what brings you out this way you're the last person i thought i'd see here tonight obviously mark had some very pressing business in town and needed a place to stay naturally we couldn't let him stay in a hotel dear naturally and when he heard the exhibit was opening tonight i insisted on coming down frankly charlie i'm a little disappointed usually these things are so much more lively well sam has introduced me to a totally new way of looking at life you know that's what ed and claire were telling me well you know charlene always full of surprises that's why i love her you just never know what she's gonna do next yeah well some things never change i can see you're busy sam wait up don't go let's talk how could you do this to me to you you're not who i thought you were sam i had a life before i met you i did but it was different then and i was different then sam sam look at me you introduced me to a new way of life but it's not going to mean much to me unless you're a part of it a permanent part sam i think i just told you i love you sam please say something what do you want i don't know not use merchandise some on your mind mom i'm early aren't you charlie wasn't perfectly honest with me now turns out she has a past most of us do you know what i mean she's not a virgin i just can't get it out of my head i can't stop thinking about her and she's just not who i thought i'd you'd fall in love with seems like she's done a lot of changing the last few weeks so have you that's not the point no no i thought you'd understand well maybe she thought you would too what is this what about wait until you're married and now you're saying it doesn't matter it does matter sam your whole life we've taught you that intimacy should be connected to eternal commitment and you've waited to find someone who felt the same way and that's wonderful it is but charlie obviously doesn't believe in that well maybe she didn't or maybe she understood it differently but now no it doesn't matter nothing changes the fact that she was unfaithful to who to you someone she just met to your principles principles she didn't understand or or share until recently does knowing about her past change the way you feel about her well then she's better off without you isn't she [Music] [Music] i have never felt like this i like this clean slate thing you believe it right [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] earth crammed with heaven and every common bush of fire with god but only he who sees takes off his shoes i've been so blind yes now love's like that sometimes [Music] gotta find her she won't be there she left right after you did in new york hello southwest flight 1430 i'll pay you back every penny i promise just please do me this favor thank you [Music] [Music] tell me where could you be where could you be can i help you yeah uh i'm here to see charlene riley is she expecting you sir actually i'm i wanted to surprise her look sir i'm sorry you can't enter the building unless she authorizes you to come in i'd be happy to ring your apartment if you like um never mind [Applause] [Music] won't you bring those to me [Music] [Music] i am serious mark drop it come on be reasonable you're my guest mark i told you i need some time so can you please just go away what are you doing here it's my question exactly i owe you an apology you sure do you mind no not at all go home sam go home i've come 2 000 miles to see you huh you've seen me i was wrong that's right when all else fails gravel you wrong impossible you were right i was i was jealous and thoughtless yeah don't let me stop you i was wrong and i'm sorry good anything else no yes i don't know charlie i've come all this way why huh why did you come it's a valid question to apologize you've done that oh swinging a mess charlie strike one charlie charlie please i love you too have a great trip back keep a stiff upper lip that's my boy is there anything you want to tell me this isn't exactly what i had in mind mark i told you i need some time and apparently a fair bit of space as well you know if it's about that baptism thing it doesn't matter it does matter at least to me well then we'll work it out come on charlie you can't just kick me out without giving me some sort of an explanation you owe me that much i'm not kicking you out all right maybe i am but it is not what you think okay maybe it is please understand i i know i am not being fair about this but i've changed i don't want the same things i wanted before you want him is that what this is about it's about showing peace kisses that means something lives that do too it's about being so sure about one thing and everything else falls away well what has fallen away oh i see i'm sorry i'll send a car to pick up the rest look charlie i don't know what happened to you in salt lake but i would like to because my feelings for you haven't changed i'll call you later [Music] i think it's time to look inside myself in truth i think i'm scared of what i'll see [Music] facing this discrepancy of what i am and what i want to be [Music] i think it's time to look inside my heart to face the insecurities i hide [Music] still it seems so hard to struggle [Music] [Music] taxi sam charlie i want you back i'm not not upset with you anymore how nice for you we're in the middle of class sam i i probably would have done the same thing i mean not with mark but oh sorry um she's she's up without clothing yes you were saying the main thing is i forgive you you forgive me no no of course not i mean yes no that's not it at all i don't care about that anymore what's going on here nosebleed can we go someplace and talk miss riley i have class later then i can't why miss riley that's really none of your business charlie wait i want to be a part of your life enough this part but why sam you couldn't handle just one thing from my life my past life life is too short and too hard to not feel safe with the one you love you've given me something i'll have forever i just can't have it with you go home sam marco hello how did you get in i told henry i forgot my keys you said you wanted to talk there'll be plenty of time to talk later you remember saint angelos yeah didn't the health department close that place down horrible miscarriage of justice it was late one evening i'd come in for a dozen hot wings and there she was the most extraordinarily gorgeous woman i'd ever seen sitting in front of an angelo's gargantuan her eyes met she winked i never winked pardon me misses my story she winked invitingly i sat down beside her it was a big pizza and then her date arrived how inconvenient he thought they were getting it to go he decided to stay poor fella cute but predictable maybe she likes predictable not this girl she'd never paint by the numbers she might find someone special but you never settle not for someone like him what if she changed she wouldn't not really how do you know because i'm sitting beside her right now and it's as though she never left [Music] so [Music] [Music] hey you can't be in here you

of your family that you will live the treatments will work and you won't die [Music] heavenly father loves you he loves me and adam i love you [Music] i bless you charlie i bless you to live [Music] what are you doing thinking have you noticed this cowlick back here no matter what i do it always sticks straight up i don't know what it'll look like in a year when it grows out you just have to wait and see one year survival rates from my type of cancer are zero sam zero so we'll beat the odds pretty stiff odds what are you saying sometimes when we want something bad enough you want to give up is that what you're saying i don't want to give up i don't want to give up what time i have left i want to be here with you i'm with adam not tethered to some iv pole dying in a hospital room i would never let that happen if what the doctors say is true it's not everything inside me tells me it is the lord will come through for us charlie we just have to have faith and give him a chance barring some huge miracle exactly you honestly believe the treatments will work yes all right they said they checked my progress after the first series of treatments if it's working we'll continue if not they'll work i know i it so too so do you have any children a little boy how old is he 10 months no it's nice [Music] almost done [Music] [Music] it's gonna be good [Music] [Music] i'll see your rice pudding and raise you an orange jello delight call read them and eat you are cheating prove it you keep losing like this and the doctor is going to have to die that boy loves you um i can't reach him it's like i'm already dead no that's what he wants to prevent here in the only way he knows how ignore it and maybe it'll go away that makes no sense it's always worked with your father it's not you not really he's frightened and he's running can you blame him if he stops all this might catch up with him and then what come on eat up i've got a lot riding on this main course what's all this it's your studio i decided you could use it more than i could what do you think i think we could uh i never told you why i first fell in love with you didn't i you have a lifetime to show me no i don't knock it off who's going to use this thing once you finish it rain's got a longer guarantee on it than i do you don't know that we have lived good lives we've been faithful and god will keep his promises god never promised us he'd cure my cancer he promised us we could be together forever even after death dying is just still part of the deal sam sam i am going to die i don't know that why are you giving up why you can't give up he says he's a god of miracles well why not now i've done my part all i want is one lousy little miracle [Music] is it too much to ask [Music] it is not the end not really you taught me that who needs more time we've got eternity what if i was wrong what if there's nothing more after this and it's that it's just a lie it doesn't feel like a lie tomorrow till yesterday so ask he got you up there something like that that was it what in a world full of people afraid to believe in anything it was your wide-eyed obstinate happily ever after faith in life in god and in me it has gotten us this far and don't you dare back out on me now i can't do this no but we can't with his help we can't mommy adam mommy mommy can you please say that [Music] mommy out of mommy you can't say my name [Music] baby out of my mommy please [Music] [Music] [Music] you look like you could use a drink how are things i prayed i pleaded i promised but the treatments bryce deals the sick left and right he raises people from the dead without even breaking a sweat when he runs up against one tiny little tumor 11 centimeters 11 centimeters a distance between life and death and nothing how's charlie sure charlie's giving up just like the rest of you sam i keep thinking maybe it's me maybe maybe if i'd exercise more faith or maybe maybe it's a test um maybe if i had more time maybe not no i know god can do this i know it sam you've got to face the fact that your faith may not fix this then what's it good for huh what what why have faith if it's only good for bible stories and fairy tales feeling sacramenting talks then when it really when it really counts it won't abandon you the pain may block everything else for a while but slowly slowly the stab will dull to an ache and then if you have faith in all those answers you've been carrying around for a lifetime well then the pain won't give way to emptiness and neither will you neither will you charlie what is this hi it's a party come on who are all these people just a few friends loosen up utah charlie used the term friend loosely to describe nearly everyone she'd ever met there was her doctor and a boy who'd carried her groceries out to her car each week the policeman who ticketed her for speeding and a counselor from westridge academy where charlie taught art to struggling youth and our neighbors with the word neighbor defined as anyone living on the road we lived on as i looked at her that night i could almost believe it would last forever i wanted to edge every moment every movement into memory but it seemed like she just kept slipping away and i couldn't shake the fear that i might never see her again charlie charlie what's wrong i want my baby are you okay i want my baby hmm come on [Music] please help me please i'm so scared i'm so sorry [Music] so come on i want to go out hey [Music] mama [Music] [Music] [Music] it's been a marvelous ride hasn't it the best i don't want it to end [Music] punishment i love you you better [Music] all this time i had hoped and prayed for a miracle maybe i'd missed it maybe the real miracle was all around me perhaps the greatest miracle of all was that i could let her go and never lose her i don't know i don't think god explains why not because he isn't listening or because he doesn't care but perhaps because the reasons don't make sense not now anyway when lazarus died christ didn't tell his sisters everything would be all right it wasn't lazarus was dead and they were in pain christ knew lazarus would live but he didn't belittle his friend's grief [Music] he didn't try to explain it away he didn't try to dry their tears he wept with them [Music] he loved them it's in that love that i trust now [Music] so you you [Music] [Music] the ride is not over yet utah i'll save your place in line i love you [Music] mr rafferty i'd like you to meet my fiance he's just proposed and you're the first one we've told sam and i want to ride your ferris wheel for a long time understand a long long time [Music] [Music] dreams seem so far away [Music] amazed how close [Music] is [Music] is [Music] days [Music] there's a space between us but love can span the distance we can reach beyond these walls [Music] [Music] in every memory that doesn't fade away and it [Music] he's feels a heartbeat away [Music] people say that i'll forget and timer will dry away my tears but how could they know what it feels like when all the words we've ever shared i've left the shadows everywhere and every single falling star makes me want to be where you were [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] forever [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] hmm [Music] you
