Between you and me, I have recently encountered death numerous times, and I come bearing some good news.
Life is like a box of timelines.
You feel me? No.
I don't understand what you mean.
Suffice to say that while yes, on this plane, your wife is dead and smoking kills, somewhere she is alive and well sipping a mai tai on a beach, uh on horseback, smoking a cigarette, maybe with Fabio.
No Fabio.
God, you're making me jealous.
He's a very attractive man, Fabio.

Ah - We really skipped the condoms, huh? - Yeah, we did.
Don't worry about it.
Hey.
Did Oatmeal show up? No, but Alan's here and he wanted me to tell you Who? Dead Zone? Nice fucking guy.

Let's get out of here.
Hey, haircut, is he with you? - Yeah, man.
- Fucking loser.
- Okay, we're gonna keep his things.
- All right, good for you, man.
Uh-huh.
Okay, man, you have got exactly as long as it takes me to buy these cigarettes to tell me what the hell is happening.
You told me that time is relative.
Actually, your buddy Einstein said that.
Metaphysically speaking, you and I are intrinsically and inexplicably linked.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm convinced our true purpose is to to connect with each other, if not help save each other's lives.
In another world, hopefully you are doing the same for me.
Time's up.
I know where Oatmeal is.
- Where? - In the park.
Hmm.
Let's go get him.
I mean, this is a very particular challenge.
What's wrong? Alan, I am worried about you and I'd like to keep you from hurting yourself.
Mmm-mmm.
I feel terrific.
All right, Alan, I I know what you're up to, okay? And I'm sure that you do feel fantastic 'cause that's how a lot of people feel when they've decided to kill themselves.
The emotional buoyancy, giving things to strangers, proposing to gutter punks, et cetera.
I'm sorry.
Can I lay down? Uh I just My heart's palpitating.
Are you gonna put me to sleep? Mmm.
Yes.
Yes, I am.
Oh.
Mmm.
Would you like to hear a story? Sure.
Okay.
There we go.
Did you ever hear the one about the broken man and the lady with a death wish who got stuck in a loop? Tell me.
Once upon a time there was a very special boy named Alan.
And one day life got to be too much for him.
So he decided to take a walk off the side of the roof.
But on his way down, a very tough lady, who looked like if Andrew Dice Clay and the little girl from Brave made a baby, she caught him in her crazy hair like it was a dolphins' net.
I love Brave.
And I love Dice which I'm sure will eventually become problematic.
Anyway uh, even though the girl caught him well, now, you see, she wasn't in such hot shape either.
You see, life was too painful.
Or they were too fragile.
But either way you slice it, they just couldn't hack it.
And then one night something miraculous happened.
They made it through alive.
Yeah, he's he's around here somewhere.
Yeah.
All right, man, how'd you know about my college fund? - You told me.
- Mmm.
Well, I never talk about shit from then, so it seems weird that I would've told somebody that I don't know that.
I'm telling you we know each other.
Okay, great, what else do you know about me? It's your birthday.
That's why it's weird that you said I would die tonight.
I've always been superstitious about this particular birthday.
'Cause of your mother.
Fuck.
Nadia! Nadia, wait.
Look, I'm I'm sorry.
I'm not trying to freak you out or anything.
Oh, shit, look who it is.
No, I know that guy.
He's self-destructive and he's fucking dangerous.
He does not seem to like you, huh? Hey, he's mentally unstable.
I'm serious.
Get away from him.
The guy's crazy.
Okay, then.
Whoa! Whoa! Hey! Wait! Jesus Christ.
- Did you just save my life? - Yeah.
Why? I told you I know you.
I can't handle this shit, man.
This is just too much for me.
No.
No.
You damn dumb, dumb fucking cunt.
Fuck.
Fuck.
What's wrong? I am so fucking happy that you did not jump.
You promise if I don't jump, I'll be happy? I don't know, man.
Absolutely not.
But I can promise you that you will not be alone.
Okay.
What now? Now we get the fuck off of this roof before you change your mind.
I'm sorry.
This is all about me.
Uh, I was seeing this girl, right? And, uh, it's early days, but it could be something, you know? And she told me she's got this crazy boyfriend.
And I took that to be hyperbolic, but I never imagined that it would you know? - What? What's the matter? - Come on.
Hey.
Whoa.
Nadia, where are you going? Hey! It's wild how they don't hit you when you look both ways, huh? We shall commence! Yeah! Follow me! Yeah!
