LYRICS:
- I remember one or two, I think.
- I could sing it all again right now.

It's even better than you said.
And you were amazing!

- Go on. - Gorgeous.

- You think so? - Drop-dead gorgeous.

When you told him goodbye...

"I won't change my mind,
I'm doing just fine."

- It was... - Hopeful? - Hard.

Really?
Help with this, will you?

- Real Life is messy.
- Boy howdy! Where's Syd?

Home with the children.

Everything O.K.?

Charlie and I plan to walk on
the Golden Gate Bridge.

- Like you and Daddy.
- A long time ago.

- We want to remember things about him.
- What kinds of things?

Who he was, what he thought about.
Was he happy?

He loved you both so much.

Was he a good actor?

He... Yes. A very good actor.
He just never got a chance.

Fate. A silver car. A patch of ice.
He slipped and was gone.

- Was he handsome? - Very.

Were you good together?

In bed? The best! Passionate and fun.
No one's ever been better.
And I've been with plenty of
others through the years.

Stop! Please.
Well, you asked.
Actually, I didn't.
