- Hopelessness.

Sometimes we get into situations

where every decision has consequences.

We get so deep into life

that it's impossible to move
forward without looking back.

So what should you do?

What should I do?

Honestly, I don't know.

Maybe just take a step
back and weigh the options.

That's exactly what I intended tonight.

It's time to re-evaluate my life

and the decisions that got me here.

Is it still possible to find happiness,

or did I ruin my journey?

If it's ruined, then why
go on, what's the point?

I figured one night alone
can help me find some clarity

from the two questions that
burn continuously in my mind.

What is the right choice?

Is there a right choice?

Will these two questions
haunt me until my dying day,

or can I make a drastic
change for the better?

Maybe I should keep it all inside

and let nature take its course.

I don't know the answers, but
I realized one thing tonight.

Change can begin with something
as simple as a conversation?

(thoughtful piano music)

♫ Take your time

♫ Let's think things through

♫ Wandering eyes

♫ Through a web of lies it's done

♫ And you wanna feel special

♫ You wanna look pretty

♫ Your dreams are much more

♫ Than this life that you're living

♫ When everything's spinning out

♫ You just want it to stay still

♫ Here I am, and here I stand

♫ Like a shooting star

♫ Shines right through my heart

- Oh, fuck.

- Hey.

Any good ones yet?

- A few.

Doesn't really get going
for another hour or so.

- Oh, good.

I was hoping I hadn't missed anything.

Do you mind?

Am I disturbing, or?

- Feel free.

- This your first meteor shower?

- No, I used to come to
this one all the time.

It's been a few years.

When it gets going, you'll
see about 80 to 100 an hour.

- Fantastic.

I'm a meteor shower virgin, so...

But I've always wanted to see one.

(low music from radio)

- You know, every time
you look at your phone,

your eyes have to
readjust to the night sky.

It's gonna make it hard
to see the meteors.

- Oh, thanks.

I thought I was the only
person who liked Adam's Attic.

- Oh, not at all.

I've always been a fan of their music.

Seen them in concert twice,

House of Blues,

and last year at the Seafood Festival.

- I was at Seafood Fest too!

Small world.

This is quite the set-up
that you have here.

The mattress, telescope,

blankets, love songs.

Are you sure we're alone?

Are you expecting someone?

- No, my wife was supposed to come.

- Oh.

What happened?

- She just couldn't make it.

- Well, since we're both here,

I might as well introduce myself.

I'm Nicole.

- Adam Foret.

- Pleasure.

- Do you, do you work at the hospital?

- Yeah.

OB department.

Just got done with my shift, so...

I read about the meteor shower
on Facebook and thought,

now's my chance.

So, here I am.

What about you, what do you do?

- What do you think I do?

- Um.

- [Adam] If you had to guess.

- Don't know.

Are you an insurance salesman?

That would be a no.

- Not even close, actually.

- Okay, um,

astronomer?

- Cold.

- [Nicole] Do you own a subway?

- No.

- Oil rig operator?

Shrimper?

Do you work for PETA?

- I'm a police officer.

- Really?

You're lying.

- Why do you think I'm lying?

- Well, no offense, but
police officers don't

go to watch meteor showers
and listen to love songs.

They're too macho for that.

- Hey, thanks a lot.

- I mean, first impressions and all,

I'm sure you're very macho.

Okay, mister police officer, prove it.

(laughing)

No, you are a police officer.

And a captain, is that high up?

- Yeah.

I'm in charge of a patrol district.

- Impressive.

Foret.

Is that French?

- Yes ma'am.

I'm originally for the Lafayette area,

moved down to New Orleans,

figured I'd get more experience faster.

Based on your accent, I
figure you're from England?

- Originally I'm from outside of London,

in Finsborough Park.

But I moved here when I was 14, so.

Have you ever been?

- No.

I'd love to go.

I love all the history.

- You should.

- I'd like to see it.

Finsborough Park.

Is that where Kate Beckinsale's from?

- Yes.

Yes she is.

Do you fancy her?

- Not really.

- Come on.

- Yeah, probably wouldn't
kick her out of bed.

- So what brought you to Louisiana?

- LSU.

- At 14?

- My father was offered
the dean's position

at the university and he took it.

My mum teaches literature, so,

I got a free education,

and then graduated,

worked at Baton Rouge General,

and now I'm the charge nurse
at Cresent City Hospital.

The rest is history.

- Excellent.

Your parents still in Baton Rouge?

- No.

They moved back to London
after my father retired, so.

I miss them terribly.

- Do you visit them much?

- They've been gone for three
years and I've visited twice,

so not too much.

Maybe someday I'll move back.

- That's understandable.

- What about your parents?

- They're retired.

Live up in a small town called Opelousas.

- Opelousas, where's that?

- Oh it's just up the road,
maybe 30 minutes from Lafayette.

- Are you close?

- Not really.

- Do you have trouble
expressing your feelings?

- Not at all.

I do have trouble expressing my feelings

to a complete stranger.

Don't you?

- No.

What do you wanna know about me?

Adam?

You okay?

- Yeah I'm fine, just don't wanna...

- It's all right.

I'll start.

I'm a Scorpio.

I was born November 3rd, 1982.

I've been a registered
nurse for seven years now.

Never been married.

That's me.

And you?

Adam?

- What's the point of this?

- What?

- What's the point of this,

asking me always these questions?

- I'm just trying to have
a friendly conversation.

- Why?

What, for an hour or two?

- Look.

If you'd rather be alone,
I'll leave you to it.

- I think I'd rather be alone.

- All right then.

It was nice to meet you.

- Wait up.

Wait.

I'm sorry for being rude,
I'm just not used to this.

- Used to what?

- I did wanna be alone,

but honestly, I think my
mind could use a break.

- Okay.

Just a bad night?

- You could say that.

- You really hate opening up, don't you?

Are you always like
this, with your friends?

- Not really.

Talking to them is different
than talking to you.

- Why, because I'm a woman?

You know, you should
have some lady friends.

It's like having a cheat sheet.

- Yeah, well it starts out
cool, but it always ends badly.

- Oh, I see.

You've been hurt.

- You think you've got me
all figured out, don't you?

- I just call it like I see it.

- So, why the maternity ward?

- Well that's simple.

It's the miracle of life.

No, really!

Even in this fucked-up world,

I get to see the most pure and
innocent thing in the world.

- And the most disgusting.

Pain, blood, amniotic.

- Please.
- Placenta, umbilical.

Absolutely beautiful.

- There's that sarcasm.

No, truly.

After a while, you don't see those things.

You just see this tiny little
person entering the world,

and all the possibilities that it brings.

- Roger that.

- It's amazing.

- Did you wanna have
kids, or do you have kids?

- No.

No kids.

I can't have kids, so.

- Oh I'm sorry, Nicole.

- It's all right.

I just focus on the things I can control.

- Great attitude.

I mean, there's always adoption.

- I thought about adoption,
but I don't think so.

I wanted kids for a while, but,

I don't think that's my path.

I rather like being alone.

- That's understandable.

So,

not married, no kids.

What do you do with all that spare time?

- Whatever I want.

No, I love to travel.

I spend time with my girlfriends.

I love driving and just not
knowing where you're going.

And I read, and I love movies.

- I love movies, I can
talk about some movies.

- Really?

- [Adam] Yeah, what's your favorite?

- I don't know, there's so many.

- Well, what movies can
you watch over and over

and they never get old.

- I don't...

Hmm.

Shawshank Redemption.

- Right.

- And Green Mile.

- Classic rainy day movies.

- I love inspirational movies.

Breakfast At Tiffany's.

Pretty Woman.

The Breakfast Club.

P.S. I Love You.

- Oh God.

- Also, The Notebook.

Ryan Gosling, he's so good.

Bridges of Madison County.

What?

- This is girls and their tearjerkers.

- You don't like a good tearjerker?

- Do I like a good tearjerker?

That'd be a no.

- So you don't like to cry in films.

- Nope.

- A movie's never made you cry before.

- I didn't say that.

- Oh!

So, so what film made you cry like a girl?

- The ones you'd expect,
like The Green Mile,

Meet Joe Black,

Backdraft, The Lion King,

Click.

- Click?

Come on, Click?

- Uh, yeah.

At the end, when he's
coming out of the hospital

and he knows he's gonna die

and he's gotta see his son and
daughter for the last time.

Running through the rain.

It's some sad shit.

You didn't think so.

- There are many others
that are much sadder.

But no, maybe you empathize,
being a man and all,

it's easier to identify with Adam Sandler.

No, Click, Click.

Click is your favorite film.

- No, it's not my favorite movie.

- Oh, what's your favorite then?

- Like you, there's a lot, but,

if I had to pick one,

it'd have to be The Matrix.

- Really?

- Uh huh.

- It's not the best trilogy.

- No no, not the trilogy,
just the first one.

Two and three are okay,
but that first one was,

a bit of fantastic.

(laughing)

- It's a good movie, but,

I don't get it, men and The Matrix.

- I can't speak for all men, but

I just identified with the main character.

I get how your life can
feel like a routine.

It's not going anywhere.

I just like the idea that there's
something bigger out there

that we don't know about,
and don't understand.

- And what might that bigger thing be?

(phone beeps)

- You gonna get that?

- No, it's not important.

Answer the question.

- What was the question?

- What might that bigger thing be?

- I don't know.

Guess God'll show me
when I'm ready to see it.

- Adam.

- Yeah?

- What happened with your wife tonight?

- Nothing that ain't happened before.

- Like what?

- It was nothing.

- This is infuriating!

I am going to get you to open up.

It's now my mission.

- Good luck with that.

- I don't need luck, I'm a professional,

and I have an excellent bedside manner.

- I love the optimism, by the way.

- Look, we'll just go slow.

Start with the basics.

We have all night.

How old are you?

- 36, Capricorn.

- Good.

And what is your favorite color?

- Black.

- Black, please!

What is your favorite sport?

- Baseball.

- Oh, okay.

Why did you decide to
become a police officer?

- Wyatt Earp.

It was the summer of 1994,

going into my senior year of high school,

and a bunch of my friends and
I went to go see Wyatt Earp.

- Wyatt Earp.

That three-hour long Western?

- Yeah, that's the one.

- Never seen it.

- Yeah well, when I left that theater,

I knew I was gonna be a policeman.

I just loved the way that
Wyatt was this fucked-up,

imperfect lawman who didn't
take shit from no one.

And then on the other hand
you have this best friend,

Doc Holiday, this
sarcastic, offensive outlaw

that used his dying
breath to save his friend.

They were two complete opposites

that worked perfectly together.

Thought I could take the
best attributes of each one

and become the best
police officer I could be.

- And how did that work out for you?

- As planned.

I was hired when I was
19, graduated at 21.

Like Wyatt, I did the job well.

I wasn't perfect, but I
didn't take shit from no one.

I put a lot of criminals
away, guns off the street,

and like Doc,

my sarcasm is offensive and misunderstood,

so like them, I ain't got many friends

and my personal life is in disarray.

- Sounds lonely to me.

- Sometimes I don't know how I got here.

It just feels like I'm
going around in circles

and I definitely can't
figure out how to fix it.

You cold?

- Oh, a little bit.

- I got some blankets
in the trunk, come on.

Here you go.

- So prepared.

Thank you.

What can you see?

Can you see the meteors?

- No, you can point it
in the general vicinity

of a meteor shower,
but to actually see one

would be sheer luck.

- Then why did you bring it?

- To look at the moon,

and the stars.

I got the moon in focus, come here.

The craters are fantastic.

- Wow.

- There's hundreds of craters
on the moon's surface.

Makes you wonder how many
times the Earth has been hit

with substantial-sized meteorites.

- Pretty amazing.

Thousands of stars.

- Can you see the Orion constellation?

- I do know Orion.

- If you look right below it,

there's a really bright star.

That's Sirius, it's the
brightest star in the night sky.

You just stare at it, see it twinkle,

emitting several brilliant colors.

- It's absolutely beautiful.

What about that one to the left?

It looks even brighter than Sirius.

- That's Jupiter.

- Oh.

How do you know?

- Well, stars twinkle and
planets stay the same.

Stars actually emit their own light,

but planets just reflect
the light from the Sun.

(laughing)

- You know a lot about this stuff.

- Here you go, check this out, come on.

All right.

Now if you move it around slowly,

you should be able to see
a couple of the moons.

- Oh my goodness.

Wow.

How did you get into this stuff?

- When I was a teenager,

my parents would take me camping a lot,

and we'd always go with
my best friend Michael

and his family, and he had a telescope,

and we'd spend hours just
looking up at the night sky.

Eventually, I got my own telescope

and started reading astronomy books,

so I could identify the different stars,

planets, constellations.

It's absolutely relaxing.

- Does your wife share your passion?

- She's not into this stuff.

If we would just take a moment

to look at the night sky,

we'd see the whole world
in a different way.

Human history was made
by idolizing these stars.

How many stories were passed
down for thousands of years,

just men and women staring
up at the night sky.

(gentle guitar music)

- Thank you for indulging me.

I've never been in a fort before.

It's pretty incredible, isn't it?

- It's not bad.

- Do you know much about it?

- A bit.

It was built after the war of 1812,

on the advice of Andrew Jackson,
so they named it after him.

The mouth of the Mississippi
opens up right here

and goes right to New Orleans,

so to protect the city they built it.

Saw a lot of action in the Civil War.

North broke through, took New Orleans,

and then, big battle for the fort,

they turned it into a prison.

- This used to be a prison?

- Yeah.

- Can you feel all the
souls swirling around?

- Yeah, let's let 'em rest, all right?

- It's amazing.

All that history.

- And in World War I, they used it

as a training facility for the troops.

Now we hold fairs here.

(laughing)

- I love imagining all the
history of these places.

It's incredible.

All the stories.

I can't imagine

living during wartime, though.

Can you?

- Sometimes being a police
officer in New Orleans

is pretty damn close to it.

- Bet that's true.

You wanna hear something

that I've never told anyone before?

- Sure.

- My grandmother was a nurse

during the second world war.

She's my inspiration.

And in 1942,

when she was working for
the Red Cross in London,

this American pilot who had been shot down

was brought in and assigned to her.

- Let me guess.

They feel in love and
lived happily ever after.

- Partially true.

I can hear the cynic.

No, yes,

they did, they fell I love.

And even during the war,

when there's all this chaos,

she said that she'd found
this pocket of bliss with him.

That they would wander around London

in their own little world.

And in two weeks, they talked,

they got to know each other.

He bought her chocolates

that were expensive and a delicacy.

And then after two weeks, he
recovered and was redeployed,

and she said that, that last night

they just lay there together,
in each other's arms.

She said it was the
best night of her life.

And then he left.

- Did they ever see each other again?

- No.

He gave her this small stone,

and he said that he'd
return to get it from her,

but he never did.

She didn't even know what happened to him.

And although she always
loved my grandfather,

she said that there was
something different,

that it was just magical.

She made me promise to look
for that in my own life,

because that person does exist.

She said, that person
is out there for you.

So, I told her I'd wait.

- She sounds like an exceptional woman.

- She was.

- So, you're still waiting
for your true love to arrive?

- Yes.

And I'll keep waiting,

as long as I have to.

I thought I found it once.

I'd been with this guy for four years,

and then he was about to
propose and I broke it off.

- Why break it off?

- Pretty simple, actually.

I felt like we were just
going through the motions.

And the next stop was marriage,

and I sort of felt that,

whether or not I was there,

he was going to be following
through with the plan.

- Right.

- I don't know.

I didn't feel like,

either one of us was really
present in that story.

So.

But truly also, we just lost everything

that we had at the beginning, too.

Do you know what I mean?

- Sure.

What do you miss the most?

- All of it.

(laughing)

But really, just those,

those little moments, the hand holding,

that you only get right at the start.

It's that, making out
like you're teenagers,

and staying up all night talking.

Lying next to one another.

Breathing, not talking.

It's like butterflies.

- The anticipation.

- Yes, yes.

True love.

I don't know.

I just want someone

who will be my best friend,

and passionate,

and also sparkles.

- Sparkles. (chuckling)

- Is that too much to ask?

- No, I completely understand.

It's like every time you see them,

you can't see anyone else
'cause no one compares to them.

- That's true love.

- Yeah.

- How many relationships have you been in?

- Two major relationships.

First one was three years,

and then my wife.

We've been together for 11 years.

- Just two relationships?

- Before my wife I dated a lot.

A lot of first dates,
not a lot of seconds.

What about you, how many?

- Uh, four significant relationships.

One that lasted seven years,

from high school through college.

- Co-dependent much?

- No, I don't think so.

If anything, I could be accused

of being a serial monogamist.

But I have been single and
independent for two years,

thank you very much.

- So what do you think the problem was

with those relationships?

- I mean, different problems,

but ultimately, we just fell
out of love with one another.

- Do you think you were in
love in the first place?

- Oh I think so.

But I had to experience that

in order to find what I want to find.

It's all different learning.

It's all worth it in the end.

- That's a good way to think about it.

- Each one of them was preparing me

for when I finally meet my true love.

- I don't know about that.

I don't really go in for all
that true love, soulmate stuff.

- Well, I'm sure your wife
would be delighted to hear that.

- I love my wife very much.

And there are a lot of sacrifices

I've made in the name of love.

But to say that she's my one true love

is completely ridiculous.

- Really?

- Nicole, there are over seven
billion people in this world.

I could show you 10
women in this city alone

that I'm compatible with, much
less the women I don't know.

- Well perhaps that's the problem.

If we're basing everything
on compatibility tests

in our own city, then,

no wonder the divorce rate is so high.

Frankly, if more people were patient,

I think they'd find that person.

- That's a big risk.

Most people probably go
their whole life alone,

waiting for that elusive true love.

- Well, I'll take that risk.

I'd rather do that than settle.

- Well I love baseball.

If I believed in true love,
she'd be my one and only.

- Oh yeah?

- Uh huh.

- Who's your steady girlfriend?

- The Braves.

- Really?

Why?

- Because growing up, we
only got two teams on TV.

Atlanta Braves on TBS,
Chicago Cubs on WGN.

And one day I'm watching the
game and Dale Murphy comes up.

10 feet tall, he comes
up, cracks two home runs,

one game, and that was it.

Dale Murphy was my favorite player

and the Braves was my team.

You like baseball?

- I do.

I prefer football,

of the World Cup variety.

But I'm a baseball convert, yeah.

- What's your team?

- The Chicago Cubs.

- Ah.

- Yeah, for the same reason.

Andre Dawson and Ryan Samberg.

- Come on, fuckin' Andre Dawson,

he was always one step ahead of Murphy.

He your favorite player?

- No, Ted Williams is my favorite player.

- Very good.

Probably the greatest
natural hitter of all time.

- I won't argue that.

- I love going to games.

The baseball stadium is my sanctuary.

It's where I feel peaceful.

- Yeah, it's pretty meditative.

I must admit, there's nothing quite like

a warm summer day, going to the ball park,

just throw your hair back, very casual,

baseball cap, enjoy the ambiance.

What?

- [Adam] Nothing.

- What?

- I just can't think of anything sexier

than a beautiful woman
putting on a baseball cap

at a major league game.

- Well, your loss.

And did you play?

- I did.

From the time I was six

'til 18 when I finished high school.

Did you play?

- A little.

I can hit the ball around.

If you have a bat.

- I have a bat.

Hold on a minute.

- Shall I wait here?

- [Adam] Yep!

- [Nicole] You weren't kidding.

- No I wasn't.

- All right, let's do this.

- Batter up.

(laughing)

Can you hit a curve?

- I'll do my best.

All right.

So it's been a few years.

- You ready?

(laughing)

(sentimental music)

That's one out.

You ready for this?

- I was born ready.

(laughing)

- Oh!

- That's in the bayou.

- That felt good.

- You love celebrating, don't you?

Well.

Not bad.

A little underselling, I would have said.

- You're not too shabby
yourself, Miss Nicole.

- I played a bit of softball.

Though I concentrated
more on soccer, football.

- I played left field and catcher.

Made all district in my junior
year and my senior year.

I was one of six guys up
for two full scholarships.

- Impressive.

- Yeah.

- What school?

- Lewis University.

It's a division two
school outside of Chicago.

- What happened?

- Two weeks into the preseason,

I took a foul ball off my knee.

Fucked it up so bad I
was out for a few weeks.

And when I came back,

it just wasn't the same.

- That's very disappointing.

- Yeah, it is what it is.

- That was a lot of fun.

- Why don't you hop on the truck?

I got pillows, I got more blankets.

I got hot chocolate if you want it.

- You are prepared, Adam Foret.

Okay, okay.

- You want marshmallows?

- Of course.

- Coming right up.

- No offense, but what
is wrong with your wife?

- What?

- Nothing.

- There you are.

Oh yeah.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- What, you put them in the chocolate?

- Yeah, they melt.

- Hmm.

- Feel like I'm in high school.

What?

- Nothing.

I don't look up at the sky
that much, I have to admit.

- Hmm.

What?

- It's funny.

I was just thinking
about this story, but...

- Go on.

- Don't read into this, all right?

- All right.

- Um,

I went to an all girls Catholic
school and high school,

so we would have these dances
with our brother school,

and my boyfriend went
to a different school,

so I was always alone on the sidelines.

And at one of these dances in junior year,

there was this boy Eric,

who I knew a bit through friends.

He was so cute, and sweet,

and nervous.

And I could tell how nervous he was

when he asked me to dance.

So I said yes, felt a
little bit sorry for him.

And we danced all night.

And he sort of swept me off my feet.

And then we went outside and talked

and looked up at the sky.

It's funny.

It's funny how those
things stick with you.

It's just one random moment.

- Then why didn't you just break it off

with your boyfriend and date Eric?

- Well, it wasn't simple.

I thought I was in love with my boyfriend,

so there's that.

And I probably just didn't
want to take the risk.

But I sometimes,

I think about it.

- I don't think I've ever been in love.

Yeah.

I'm 36 years old and I'm scared to death

that I will never know what it's like

to be in love with someone.

- Then, you're not in love with your wife?

- I thought I was.

There's no way I could have been.

- Why do you say that?

- I always thought that,

being in love meant that you were happy

with the one you're with,

and you forget about the past
and what might have been.

I thought it meant that,

you do things to make the other one happy,

even if it's something you don't wanna do.

And when you do it,
happiness is gonna follow

because you know it made them happy.

Thought it meant not
wanting anything more.

But if that's what being in
love is, I'm not even close.

Am I making any sense?

- Yeah, mostly.

- Do you think that's
what being in love means?

- Yes, I'll agree with that.

When you find that person,

you should want to spend

your energy making them happy.

Making them happy should make
you happy and vice versa.

Because you're in it together.

- Exactly.

- You're a team.

- The pastor, right before the wedding,

he told us that marriage
ain't 50-50, it's 60-40.

Each person giving a little
bit more than is expected.

That don't work if you're
the only one doing it.

I know it's not gonna be perfect

and there are bumps in the road,

but it should be worth fighting for.

I swear to God, I am so tired of fighting

for what seems to be nothing.

(sighs)

(upbeat electronic music)

- I love this song.

- Yeah, I do too.

- Dance with me.

- Uh, no.

- Come on.

It's my favorite song.

Dance with me.

- Not much of a dancer.

- Come on, up you go.

Dance with me, Adam.

- I'm enjoying my hot chocolate.

- Come on!

Little dance, little dance.

- Cute, but it ain't gonna work.

- I think it would lift your spirits.

When was the last time
you had a good dance?

- 1995, senior prom?

(laughing)

- But you must have
danced at your wedding.

- No.

- You didn't dance at your wedding.

- No, she don't like to dance.

I have never danced with my wife.

- Well, at risk of breaking
your impressive record.

- Whoa whoa.
- Dance with me.

- No, I can't do it.

I'm a married man.

- That was not what I was doing, Adam,

but all right.

I'm used to dancing alone, so.

Joining me after all?

- You shouldn't be out here by yourself.

- Hmm.

Then I'll try not to be too insulted

that you wouldn't dance with me,

since you're acting like such a gentleman.

- You know where you're going?

- Are these catacombs?

- I don't know, I've never been in them.

- Well, then we must.

- No, not at night.

What are you doing?

- Let's see.

Just a little bit.

(Adam groans)

You afraid of ghosts?

- Yeah, you can't shoot a ghost.

- So wait, tell me,

what's the scariest thing

that's ever happened to
you as a police officer?

- Besides right now?

- Yes.

- March 12th, 2002.

- You knew right away!

- I'll never forget it.

It's right about midnight
and I'm on patrol,

I come up to this intersection.

On the intersection there's
this convenience store.

I'm just sitting in my car,
waiting for the light to change

when I see two guys running
along the side of the building

wearing masks.

- No shit.

What's the odds?

- Slim to none.

- Never.

- By the way, this is a
completely true story,

no details have been
changed for dramatic effect.

These two guys go into the
store and pull out guns.

One of them jumps over the
counter to the register.

And I'm just thinking to myself,

I cannot believe these two jackasses

are gonna rob this store
right in front of me.

- So, what did you do?

- Pulled the car into the parking lot,

positioned the unit where
they couldn't see me,

put the information out on the radio

and took out my sidearm.

- (laughing) Oh my God.

- Now I pointed it at the exit

where I figured they were gonna come out,

established my line of sight,

and I just waited.

Sure enough the first one comes
out and he's holding the gun

so I put my finger on the trigger.

- And you shot him?

- (laughing) No.

Almost.

No, I yelled, freeze, police!

He whipped around like
a deer in headlights.

The second one came out and pushed him,

messed up my line of sight.

When the second one saw me
he beat feet up the street

so fast and the other one followed him.

When they run, you know what that means.

I gotta chase them.

So I beat feet after them

and about a couple blocks it hit me.

I am chasing two robbers with guns

through the streets of New Orleans.

What the fuck am I doing?

That's crazy.

- So did you catch them?

- Well they ran into this
big apartment complex.

And I lost sight of them in the courtyard.

And that was the scariest moment.

I was in this open courtyard,
completely exposed.

- That is terrifying.

- So I start canvassing the area.

And sure enough, one of them
makes a break for the street.

He's like, 20 yards away from me

and I don't know if it
was adrenaline or what,

but I chased him down in seconds.

I pistol-whipped him in
the back of the head,

he goes to the ground, drops the gun.

I straddled him and put
the barrel of my gun

to the back of his head and I said,

if you move anything, I will
blow your fucking head off.

- That is unbelievable!

- Honestly, I only said that

because I was too tired to cuff him.

Thank God it worked, he
didn't move a muscle,

and about a minute later
the secondary unit arrived,

took him into custody.

- And what happened to the other guy?

- Well we set up a perimeter
around the apartment complex,

and 10 minutes later he surrendered.

We recovered the money,
the guns, the masks.

Witnesses were able to
positively identify them

based on the clothing description.

By far my best pop.

- That is a crazy story.

- It was the scariest night of my life.

Looking back, it was actually pretty fun.

- Yeah.

It's nice to hear you
talk about your work.

I can tell you really love it.

- Yeah I do.

- And all the cop lingo!

(laughing)

It's amazing.

Establishing the perimeters

and canvassing areas.

- That's the job.

- Beating the feets.

- Yeah, beat feet.

- Beating feets?

- Beat feet, like, it means to run.

(laughing)

Beating feet is child abuse.

- What's that?

Right there.

- [Adam] Satellite.

- Satellite?

- Solid white light moving
slowly through the sky?

Satellite.

- I was hoping it was a UFO.

- Every time I look at the night sky,

I see something I can't explain.

- Really?

- Uh huh.

I try to keep my mind open, not speculate.

- Do you believe that

we're alone in the universe?

- Absolutely not.

There are like, billions of galaxies,

each one with billions of stars.

You've gotta be naive to think
there isn't intelligent life

on many planets.

- I totally agree.

In the grand scheme of things,

we are very small and
insignificant creatures.

- Very true.

- Do you believe that God exists?

- Yes.

- You do?

- Yeah.

- Hmm.

Do you ever doubt the
existence of that God?

- Sometimes.

- I'm not that different.

Except that,

I believe that God doesn't exist

in the capacity that most of us think.

- You sound like an atheist.

- More like, agnostic.

A semi-nonbeliever.

Albert Einstein once said,

that humans could never comprehend

the possibility of an infinite God.

How could we?

The problem is much too
vast for our limited minds.

- Okay.

- No, it's exciting.

You have to open yourself
up to the possibility

that everything you think
you know might be wrong.

For small creatures such as we,

the vastness is bearable
only through love.

- Is that Einstein too?

- That is Carl Sagen.

Okay, hypothetical question, bear with me.

So, you believe in a God.

What if God's plan

included us meeting tonight?

That we were part of each
other's bigger purpose?

What would you say?

- Well if that was true,

it would cause a lot of other people pain.

Why would God do that?

- Well, pain is inevitable

whether or not you believe in God.

- Well, hypothetically,

if we were supposed to meet here tonight,

would you feel comfortable
knowing that I was married

and that you could possibly
end a relationship?

- No, but...

See, I believe we control our lives.

There is no great
architect or puppet master.

There are only our decisions.

And the path we take is
based on those decisions.

And yes, sometimes there
will be pain that we cause

because of our choices.

But, would you be willing to let

the possibility of true love pass you by

because of bad timing?

- If we gave into every
instance of attraction,

no one would be faithful

or stay in a long-term relationship.

I probably see a new
attractive woman every day.

- But how many of them
make you just say, wow.

- Not many.

- See?

Any one of them could have
been your bigger purpose.

You just let it pass you by.

- Oh.

That was a big one.

- Okay.

I think this connection,

this is wow.

- Please don't say that.

- What?

- This can only lead down a wrong road.

- See, Adam, I'm not asking
you to run off with me,

or even to explore the possibility

that this is anything more
than a chance encounter.

- Well good, 'cause there
ain't nothing to explore.

- You are full of shit.

- Now why do you say that?

- If there wasn't an attraction,

then there wouldn't be
a wrong road to go down.

- There isn't any attraction.

- Oh please.

- What?

- Come here.

- No.

- In the name of science.

Close your eyes.

- No.

- What are you afraid of?

- Okay.

- I rest my case.

- What?

- You can't say that
there's not something there.

Otherwise you wouldn't
have gotten uncomfortable.

- I wasn't uncomfortable.

- Please.

All it took was minimal physical contact!

- I can't afford to have
anything complicate my life

any more than it already is.

- Well, perhaps that's your problem.

You're worried about complicating things,

rather than trying to imagine the things

that might make it better.

I mean, what would it
take for you to believe

that there's one perfect
person out there for you?

- At this point in my life,

I don't think anything
could change my mind.

- Well, that's a shame.

Because you may have a very
full and productive life,

with lots of people you care about,

but you'll always have a lonely heart.

- Yeah, well it's a
two-way street, Nicole.

How long are you gonna
keep your heart lonely

waiting for something
that doesn't even exist?

- Ooh.

Excellent.

- What?

- This is a great conversation.

Got to love a good debate.

Got you angry.

- I have to admit, it is nice.

It's been a while.

(laughing)

I am fuckin' freezing.

We're about in the peak
of the meteor shower.

You wanna head back to
the truck and get warm?

- Yes, yes I do.

- All right.

You getting tired?

- No.

I don't need much sleep.

I'm a bit of an insomniac.

- I know the feeling.

My sleep cycle's all off.

Probably because, working nights

back when I was on the road.

- Adam.

- Yeah?

- Do you mind me asking
what happened with your wife

that got you to this point?

- I met her when I was 24.

And it was great.

Couldn't keep our hands off each other.

- Love that part.

- Every time she'd touch me,

the hair on the back of
my neck would stand up.

Goosebumps.

Kind of like your little
science experiment.

We'd talk for hours, about everything.

Took spontaneous trips.

I was working nights, so,

4:30 PM to 4:30 AM, and
she'd kiss me goodbye,

and when I'd come home
she'd be on the couch,

waiting for me.

To make sure I got home okay.

Couldn't wait to walk through
that door and see her.

- Butterflies?

The anticipation?

- Yeah.

Sometimes she'd be just
laying on top of the sheets,

doing a little something something.

(laughing)

Wasn't too long before she got that itch.

I told her I didn't want any children,

caused a big fight.

- Why didn't you want children?

- I just don't like children, never have.

Just don't think I got the patience

or the temperament for it.

Or maybe I'm selfish.

I want her all to myself.

I want us to do whatever we wanna do

whenever we wanna do it.

Wanna take a trip, take it.

Wanna lie in each other's arms

and watch movies on a rainy day, do it.

Or lie in bed naked all day,

just enjoying each other's company.

Fuckin' love it.

- You are a latent romantic.

Good for you.

- Well, it led to a break up.

And a few days later we talked,

and compromised were made.

- Compromises?

At that point you were going
in different directions,

so why compromise?

- I thought I was in love with her.

She told me she was
going off birth control.

So naturally I asked her
to marry me, she said yes,

and was pregnant two months later.

We got married two months after that.

- You have a child?

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Got a nine-year-old son.

- He's beautiful.

What's his name?

- Cody.

- He looks just like you.

- The moment she got
pregnant, everything changed.

It was like all that
affection she showed me

was redirected to him.

It all stopped, the
spontaneity, the snuggling,

the kisses,

the conversations,

the sex,

even the laughs.

The passion was gone.

I wake up now at 6:30 and I turn over

and she's scowling at me
because I woke her up.

I come home and nobody there.

It's been like that for
almost 10 years, so...

I'm done.

- Have you tried to reignite that spark?

- Of course.

I try every day, but how many excuses

and rain checks and broken
plans before I just give up?

- I mean,

you shouldn't give up.

- Why?

It's humiliating.

It's emasculating.

What's the point of asking for something

you know you're not gonna get?

You're supposed to be
with someone who wants you

just as much as you want them, right?

I shouldn't have to ask, much less beg.

- That's fair.

You don't deserve that.

So.

How long has it been?

- Really?

- Uh huh.

- 10 months.

Once in the last year and a half.

- Oh no.

- Yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's been two and a half years

since she initiated anything.

I'm not just talking about sex here,

I'm talking about anything.

Nothing intimate any more.

So,

I'm done.

It's not worth trying for any more.

- So,

why stay?

- Cody.

I feel in love with him
the moment I held him.

From that point, my life
wasn't mine any more.

It wasn't about me.

No matter what's going on
with his mother and me,

it's not his fault.

My job is to make sure he's
got the best life possible,

and to do that I gotta see him every day.

- Adam.

You know, your happiness and his

are not mutually exclusive.

If he sees you unhappy,
that will affect him.

- Yeah but,

I'd rather him see me unhappy every day

than every other weekend happy.

My brother went through the same thing.

He got a divorce when my
nephew was two years old,

and he barely sees him now,
they don't have a relationship.

Can't let that happen to Cody.

- Well.

It makes sense why you're so sad.

- I'm not sad.

- You're lonely.

You know,

I think, deep down,

you do believe in true love.

But, you think you missed your chance,

so it's just easier to
abandon the whole concept.

- Maybe.

So you were with this dude for seven years

and you never thought about marrying him?

- He was an ass.

(laughing)

He was!

Though I never really thought about it,

and,

I never really didn't think about it.

I wasted seven years, pretty much.

I learned a lot.

We were together for high
school and most of college.

He was, he was a status boy friend.

I was flattered when he pursued me.

He was a quarterback,
and a couple years older,

and very handsome, popular.

But he had a temper,

and he was very jealous and possessive.

When I was 16 he slapped me once,

and I should have ended it then,

but I was young and very forgiving,

and a bit of a caretaker.

So fast forward a few years,

and we're out at a bar,

in college, and he sees
me talking to another man

and he thinks that I'm
flirting with this man,

and he comes over and he's
all up in this guy's face,

and I pulled him aside and said

that I thought that he was drunk

and he was being ridiculous.

And he kept shouting at me,

so I said that I was going home.

And as I was leaving the bar,

he chucked a beer bottle at me.

Fractured my cheekbone,

and gave me a black eye.

So, let's say that that
knocked some sense into me.

- I'm sorry you had to go through that.

- Yeah, me too.

I won't make that mistake again.

- Why couldn't I have met you sooner?

(soft singing)

Hey.

- Sorry.

I dozed off.

- There's nothing to apologize for.

- It's beautiful.

No, keep singing, please.

- You're full of surprises, Adam.

What are you thinking?

- Honestly.

I'm just thinking how
absolutely beautiful you are.

And how absolutely unfair life is.

Where you going?

- Um, I'm tired and...

It's late, so,

I should go.

- Don't go.

- (sighs) I mean, you said it before.

You're right.

It's not fair.

It's not fair to you,

and it's also not fair to me.

We're going down that
wrong road you mentioned,

or at least I am, and that hurts

because you're unavailable.

And I'm,

I can't do this.

- So what happens now?

We just go on with our lives?

We pass each other on the street

and pretend we don't know each other?

Stop and have a friendly conversation?

- You don't have to worry about that,

so it's all right.

We won't have any fake conversations.

- What are you saying, I don't understand.

- I recently accepted a
job offer out of town.

- Where out of town?

- London.

It's in London.

I leave in two weeks.

It'll be nice to be close to my parents.

I've been really excited.

I didn't think I had anything
holding me here any longer.

Is that wrong?

- Yeah, you're wrong.

I came here tonight looking
for answers, and I found you.

I want you in my life, I wanna see you.

I want us to be friends.

- I don't wanna be friends, Adam.

I don't wanna be friends.

It's not realistic.

- Why not?

- Because.

I don't want to be your friend.

This has been amazing
tonight, but it's not real.

It's not real for you
and it's not real for me.

And in real life, you're not happy.

If you were happy, then maybe
I would try to be your friend.

But you're not.

- No Nicole, I'm not happy.

I've got everyone I know telling me

that I should be satisfied
with the mediocrity in my life.

But I know this can't be it.

There's gotta be so much more.

- There is, Adam.

I'm going home.

- Are you sure?

- Are you?

- I understand if you gotta leave.

- It was lovely to meet you.

Goodnight.

- Bye, Nicole.

- Adam.

- Nicole, what are you doing?

- I wanted to give this to you.

- What is this?

- It's the stone that my
grandmother kept all those years.

I want you to have it.

- Why are you giving this to me?

- Because Adam,

you have so much love
inside of you to give.

And you deserve it.

You deserve to find someone.

Maybe it's your wife,

or maybe it's someone or something else.

But, I just want you to
know that no matter what,

you are not alone.

And I see you.

And you are

a truly incredible person.

Please don't, please don't give up.

Promise me.

No, you don't have to say anything.

- Nicole.

- Really, I understand.

I do.

- I just wanted to thank you.

- What for?

- You've done more for me in one night

than anyone has ever
done in my entire life.

- It has been my absolute privilege.

Keep it close.

Goodbye, Adam.

- Nicole.

- Hughes.

- Goodnight, Nicole Hughes.

On this beautiful morning,
after this fantastic night,

one thing happened that I didn't expect.

I felt something I didn't
think was possible,

something I refused to believe in.

What was it I truly found last night?

Is she the answer?

Will I ever see her again?

I'm still left with so
many unanswered questions.

Although my life is changed

because of one night and one person,

those two questions still ring true.

What is the right choice?

Is there a right choice?

The only difference now
than before I met her,

is hope.

♫ Since the day that we first met

♫ I just cannot forget the way

♫ That I was hanging
on each word you'd say

♫ I'm trying hard to just let go

♫ But I'm scared that I will never know

♫ And I hate to see you
pack your things and go away

♫ When all I need is in your eyes

♫ It's in your smile, in your smile

♫ One night was not enough

♫ One day was not enough

♫ One hour was not enough

♫ It'll never be quite enough

♫ Searching for the words to say

♫ To describe the beauty of that day

♫ And it was sad to
see wave and drive away

♫ And as these days just pass right by

♫ I wonder if you'll ever think of me

♫ When you close your eyes
and try to fall asleep

♫ Little girl

♫ When all I need is in your eyes

♫ It's in your smile, it's in your smile

♫ One night was not enough

♫ One day was not enough

♫ One hour was not enough

♫ It'll never be quite enough

♫ One night was not enough

♫ One day was not enough

♫ One hour was not enough

♫ It'll never be quite enough

♫ I'm holding on

♫ And I'm trying to be strong

♫ But these days can be so difficult

♫ Just never knowing

♫ Your face in the sun

♫ As you stood there alone

♫ Then you smiled at me and I believed

♫ I'm falling away

♫ One night was not enough

♫ One day was not enough

♫ One hour was not enough

♫ It'll never be quite enough

♫ One night was not enough

♫ One day was not enough

♫ One hour was not enough

♫ It'll never be quite enough, no

♫ I've been thinking here for hours

♫ I've been sitting here for days

♫ And I'm not sure why I'm second guessing

♫ No I'm not sure why I'm scared

♫ I just know that I love you

♫ Yeah

♫ And I want to be where you are

♫ Yeah

♫ Oh hey, oh yeah

♫ There are reasons and seasons

♫ That I don't really understand

♫ Like how I got here or where I'm going

♫ I'm just happier knowing
that we are both here

♫ Will this be forever

♫ I whisper these secret fears

♫ And I'm fighting tears I know

♫ And anxious for the ones to come

♫ I just know that I love you

♫ Yeah

♫ And I want to be where you are, yeah

♫ Oh hey, oh yeah

♫ There are reasons and seasons

♫ That I don't really understand

♫ Like how I got here or where I'm going

♫ I'm just happier knowing
that we are both here

♫ I will promise you forever

♫ Can you promise me

♫ You will never leave

♫ I can promise you forever

♫ Will you promise me

♫ You'll never leave

♫ Oh yeah

♫ Oh hey, oh yeah

♫ There are reasons and season

♫ That I don't really understand

♫ Like how I got here or where I'm going

♫ I'm just happier knowing that we are

♫ Knowing that we are both here
