Fort Redding, California.

Army base.

Syria, desert.

Lots of bones, fella.

Dear Red Shoes, when I read your ad in the base newspaper, I had to answer.

If only because it was, you know, classy and wasn't about guns and war.

It was about emotional pain.

About trying to understand that pain.

And trying to let it go.

You got that part, man.

December 24th, Christmas Eve.

They gave us all a weekend pass.

makes a nice...

There ain't nothing I can do. You don't have to worry about me and Lucy. I

guarantee you we are not coming home tonight.

you double -crossing bastard.

I'm guilty, I'm guilty.

You, why?

Shit.

It's steamy 115 degrees here in the great Mojave Desert on Christmas Eve and

still climbing.

Please remember to drink lots of water and don't leave your pets unattended in

the car.

It's going to be...

Huh?

I'm Bullseye.

What the fuck are you?

Jesus. You don't remember?

Hey, whoa, hey.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait, oh, whoa, wait. Oh, whoa, whoa.

Aliens or anything, wait.

Oh, wait a minute. Wait, just you were here, okay?

What did you say your name was?

Eddie.

Eddie Edward Zinger. Remember?

Jesus Christ, you must remember.

I don't fucking believe this. This is crazy. I mean, I just do not believe

Come on, baby. I mean, you said you loved me.

And you honestly don't remember a thing?

This is a serious blow to my masculine ego.

God damn.

I've had girls forget my phone number before.

I've had girls forget my last name. I've even had girls forget my first name.

But never, ever, ever, ever have I ever had a girl forget everything.

Oh, darling, I mean everything.

Hello?

Oh, come on, baby. You've got to remember.

Ah, Exhibit A.

Proof. Of intent.

Exhibit B, probable cause.

Oh, my God.

Nothing like this has ever happened to me before.

Okay, once.

I came home with only one shoe, and I couldn't remember where I left the other

one.

And it turned out some guy in jail had the other one.

There was that business about the attempted robbery at the Circle Cave,

but I'm sure I had nothing to do with it.

At least I'm pretty sure.

Any other times?

There was Thanksgiving.

I woke up in a Greyhound station in Santa Cruz two days later.

It was tequila then, too.

Tequila.

Tequila.

This, this is how it all started.

Are you okay?

Fine.

I'm always fine.

I'm sure we're worried about getting shit -faced like that.

I mean, I'm blacking out. It's not really, you know, healthy.

And it's not really, you know, any of your business.

You know, I only ask because I care.

Care? Yeah.

You just met me.

You picked me up at a bar because I was drunk and now you give me this hair

crap? Please.

People have been together for years.

We've been through life and death together.

People who are married don't always care.

They can still turn around and shit on you.

So just don't tell me that you care about some drunk bimbo you met at a bar.

Hey, hey, hey, I did not pick you up because you were drunk. I picked you up

because I thought you were beautiful.

What a steaming pot of shit!

Oh, man, let me see that. It's fine. That's pretty bad.

I said it's nothing, so back off!

Give me your hand.

What the fuck is your problem? Let go! What the fuck is your problem? Look,

you're bleeding pretty bad.

I don't want your help.

I don't need your help.

I don't need anybody's fucking help.

Like I'm some sort of charity case.

What?

You think I can't take care of myself, is that it, huh?

Can't get by without a man to help me, is that it?

I'm fine, get it?

I'm fine.

Everything under my life is under control.

Absolute, complete, under control.

soldier out of throwing you in a brig a long time ago.

And this shit, vandalizing government property.

Now I know you know what's going down with your husband in Okinawa.

We all know.

And we all know Jack.

But boys will be boys.

That's what separates them from men.

If I were you, I'd do yourself a little favor, honey.

Face reality!

Clean up your act!

Get on with your life!

or clean up this mess.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

I don't know how any of this happened or why you had to get involved.

You should call him.

I can't. Why not?

I wouldn't know what to say.

Well, what do you want to say?

Goodbye.

She's pregnant with his child. He says he loves her. I think that's pretty damn

sure.

Just one word.

That's all. Just one word. Just say goodbye.

Jack, it's Jane.

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Merry Christmas.

Just I want to try something. Close your eyes.

Eddie had to leave the next day for a New Year's Eve gig in Dallas.

He called me when he got there to make sure I was okay.

And today he wrote a song for me.

Can you imagine that?

Just when I thought it was over, Hope raised her beautiful hand.

I told you there was a Santa Claus.
