What was the moment that made you want to give up?
Casey delivered a letter and a rose to a woman sitting at the bar. She glanced at the man who asked her to bring the message, thinking it was a romantic gesture. But the second the woman opened the envelope, she began to cry – her husband had passed away on a military mission. She ran off, unable to control her grief. And Casey rushed to the stranger, asking why he lied to his wife about losing his life. The man was cold and bitter, dismissing Casey’s questions. But when he realized that she wasn’t going to back down, he quietly moved from behind the table, revealing his wheelchair. He explained that since he was now disabled, he didn’t think of himself as a proper man or even person anymore. He didn’t deserve to be with his wife.
Casey got angry at the fact that he had given up so easily on himself and his marriage. So, she offered him a choice. He could stay at the bar and drown his sorrows or fight for his love. Casey insisted that the man meet her the next day after closing so she could help him with the rehabilitation. Because not that long ago, she herself was wheelchair bound. And although the man refused her offer, the next day, by some miracle, he showed up again.

Excuse me.
Yes, sir?
Hi. Listen, could you please give this to the lady over there?
Of course.
Consider it's done, sir.
Thank you.
I have something for you.
Oh, from me? But from whom?
Let's see.
Hey.
No? What's wrong?
My husband serves in the military.
I just found out he's dead.
I'm sorry.
Why did you do that?
Just give me one more drink and I'll leave.
I said why did you...
Whiskey, double. No ice, please.
No.
I think you need to run after your wife and tell her what it is.
I can't.
Give me one good reason why.
Let me give you two.
Like me, it's better off dead.
Listen, a wheelchair is no reason to write yourself off as dead.
Stay out of this. Just do your job and get the drink.
No.
Are you for real right now?
Yes. If you're not happy, go and complain to the manager.
You're a waitress, not my therapist.
Just get me the damn drink.
Fine.
Whatever you say, loser.
I buried myself in my marriage.
I convinced myself I didn't need anyone.
But this waitress was turning out to be a real thorn in my side.
Hey, miss.
Excuse me.
Could I have another one?
We're closing.
Come on. Don't lie to me.
It's still open till the last customer.
And that's probably gonna be me.
Whatever you say, zombie.
I was like a living corpse.
Any hope of reclaiming my lost life had died in me.
But this night, this night changed everything.
Okay, then.
Here's your whiskey.
That's not funny.
I'm not laughing.
You get it.
That's what you're capable of.
You're happy now?
Very.
That's exactly what I wanted.
I gotta pay for that.
Okay.
You don't have to.
My treat.
But you know what?
If you would only chase after your wife like that,
you would still miss her.
You can walk.
And I can help.
I promise.
You can win her back.
Shut up!
You have no idea what you're talking about.
You shut up.
I know exactly what I'm talking about.
I got myself out of wheelchair.
And I could get you, too.
I'll be waiting for you tomorrow after 8.
I'll be here, and you will finally start fighting for your life.
How about that?
Hey, so what happened to you?
Well, gymnastics is a battlefield as well.
I...
I lost my fight for the gold.
But I'm still proud of myself.
Because when even everything was destroyed, I...
I didn't give up.
Alright.
Then tell me what should I do first if I wanna walk again.
That's the easiest part.
You better think what would you say to your wife when you'll see her.
I don't know.
Something like...
Hi, I'm a zombie from The Walking Dead.
Yeah, but...
Maybe try something romantic?
Hey, it's impossible to do something romantic when you can't walk.
Learning to walk is the least of your problem.
Stopping being a stubborn mule?
Well, that's harder.
And this is your help.
Yeah?
Okay, okay.
Okay.
So...
How did you two meet?
Well...
One night I was at the bar.
And there she was.
The most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my entire life.
I couldn't believe I was doing it.
But I asked her to dance.
And from that moment...
Everything changed.
Nice.
So...
You can invite her for a dance again.
You're kidding, right?
Just look at me.
It's never gonna happen.
Listen.
When you really love someone...
Miracles happen.
I believe in you.
Even if you don't believe in yourself.
May I?
Excuse me.
Now spin me around.
Try it.
See? Not too bad.
Good job.
Yeah.
I'm way too heavy for the gymnast.
My hand is heavy too, you know?
So say one more thing...
And you will feel it.
Spin it.
For a moment I felt normal again.
I couldn't even remember the last time I felt this good.
But Casey didn't just make me dance and laugh.
She gave me hope.
Hope that it was possible to give it all back.
So I kept coming back.
Over and over.
Until...
I did it!
You did it.
Okay, try it again.
Something extraordinary happened.
All our efforts paid off.
I got it.
Unexpectedly I felt not only my legs but also a new heartbeat when I was near her.
And it scared me.
Yes.
I think this is the time to call your wife, right?
You're ready.
Look, look what I found.
Look at that.
You've got it.
Tomorrow is a big day, right?
It's a good thing I taught you how to dance.
Yeah.
I'm glad you showed me what life is really about.
I'll arrange everything.
I'll call your wife and tell her she forgot something, right?
Okay, let me help you.
Casey truly brought me back to life.
But something had changed in me.
And tomorrow's meeting was about to change everything.
Are you the woman who called me?
Yes, ma'am.
Someone is waiting for you.
Who?
I'm so sorry.
So you lied on purpose.
Listen, I didn't want to hold you back.
But now I can't keep this from you.
You did the right thing.
I wasn't ready for this.
I wish I could still think you weren't dead.
I'm sorry.
In that moment, everything that used to matter vanished forever.
Ma'am, you have no idea what he's gone through to get here.
Please don't...
I'm so sorry.
Sorry, it's my fault.
I shouldn't have pushed you to this meeting.
No.
Listen, everything that happened, it's all my fault.
I was right about one thing.
Miracles don't happen.
No one could ever love me for who I am.
Listen, that's not true.
What?
Love was you.
Since the moment I saw you.
Please, don't feel sorry for me.
I never felt sorry for you.
Now it's up to you.
Believe in miracles or not.
Hi.
Why are you laughing?
I just brought Zombie back to life and your...
Your ex missed it.
Happy anniversary, honey.
Happy anniversary.
I love you.
Yeah, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Take care of the bill and we'll be on our way to the airport.
Of course.
Can I get the bill, please?
Yeah.
So you lied to me twice?
No. A miracle happened in my life.
How magical.
And what miracle is that?
I fell in love.
When you're in love, miracles happen all the time.
Excuse me.
My wife is waiting for me.
Love has the power to heal even the deepest wounds.
It can make the impossible possible.
Because love is a miracle.
What?
What are you doing?
You're my husband.
I've been waiting for him for a whole damn year.
Ma'am, I can't.
Then don't say that you can't replace him.
Get out of here.
I gave my word.
I'm not going anywhere.
Then I'll make you leave.
Mary Lou! Mary Lou!
Anybody home?
Mary Lou!
Where are you?
You're not my husband!
Mary Lou is dead.
It felt like my heart had stopped.
As if I had lost my life at that moment.
This can't be.
This can't be the end.
No, no.
No, it's not the end.
Listen.
But why did he start taking off my wedding ring?
What are you doing?
Now I'll be your husband.
What?
That's what he asked before he died.
No!
The cries.
The tears.
The rage.
It was simply tearing me apart.
And nothing could soothe that pain.
I tried to forget.
But it wasn't vain.
Everything reminded me of him.
Especially that young boy
who kept sitting near my house.
He's still here.
Get out of the way!
I'm helpless!
Everything's getting out of hand!
Mary Lou!
Open the door!
Listen, I'm not going anywhere!
Mary Lou!
Please!
I gave my word.
It seems my late husband
knew what would happen to me.
I didn't want to live.
Yet this boy
kept pulling me back
into my life.
What's your word for me?
I don't want to leave you alone.
And I would love to have some
clean clothes.
You can take whatever you want.
Just give me a few minutes.
Can I give you a hand?
I'm okay.
I can handle it.
This is Patrick's favorite shirt.
I'm sorry I didn't...
Shut up.
What are you doing?
How could you leave me?
He never stopped thinking about you.
There wasn't a moment
that he didn't think about you.
What good is that to me?
I didn't even get the chance
to say goodbye,
to kiss him
one last time.
But Patrick,
I've always loved you.
Listen, I know it sounds crazy,
but maybe we should try anyway.
It was really crazy,
but it seems
a wounded heart
can only be healed
by care and tenderness.
He couldn't replace my husband for me.
But somehow
he became very important to me.
And it seems
I am to him as well.
It's for you.
Patrick said you like roses.
But that's not roses.
Listen, I don't want to take his place.
I just
want to give you flowers.
Sometimes trouble doesn't knock
on the door of your home.
It enters your room
with a cup of coffee.
Yes!
Hey,
I just wanted to say goodbye.
No,
no,
Mary Lou,
you knew it would happen someday.
I won't let you go
unless Patrick
and I don't want to lose you too.
At least now I know
that you like me.
Then stay with me.
Don't you get it?
Even if I'm gone,
my feelings for you won't disappear.
Did you stop loving Patrick when he was gone?
No.
Because love exists
even if the one you love disappears.
You left Patrick
to become my husband.
You fulfilled that.
So now swear to me
that you'll come back.
I swear.
And I won't leave you for a moment longer.
At that moment I realized forever
there is a force stronger than death
called love.
The only thing worth living
and waiting for.
Who are you?
Honey.
Why are you wearing a robe?
I'm just getting ready to take a shower.
Shower?
Yeah, washroom.
Okay.
Where are shoes?
Honey, what are you talking about?
Here.
Honey, what?
Shoes.
There are shoes.
No, no, no.
It was supposed to be a surprise.
A Halloween costume.
Damn blind prankster.
What? Sorry.
I thought you were cheating on me.
Can you imagine that?
Baby.
I'm only yours.
Honey.
Yeah, then I'll go for a run again.
Get some fresh air.
Clear my mind.
I'll wait for you.
Is she gone?
Yes.
Thank you.
And how did you do it?
You run here every morning from 9 to 10.
This car passes by here every day at exactly 9.24.
Wow.
While your husband is cheating on you at home with a redhead.
So you think this is funny?
You could have ruined my family.
I just showed you the truth that you can't see.
Or choose not to see.
You know what?
Go to hell.
You and your truth.
From now on you can't escape the truth.
And you'll always see it in people's eyes.
We are done.
You don't like the pasta?
No, it's fine.
Your eyes.
What?
Everything is fine.
The pasta is great.
I've decided to go on a diet.
Say 2 plus 2 equals 5.
What?
Say it.
Okay.
2 plus 2 equals 5.
While I'm out jogging every morning.
Are you cheating on me with a redhead?
You have funny way with broads, Maria.
Of course not.
What are you doing?
Lies.
I can see lie in your eyes.
I'm not cheating on you.
Hey, are you crazy?
Alright, alright.
You're discharged.
I'll make sure I reveal that you found out.
I should have left here a long time ago.
What?
What are you saying?
After everything we've been through.
I loved you all my life, Jack.
Your eyes.
What?
Say it again.
I loved you all my...
It looks that I'm not the only liar here.
That's why I'm a big fan of Pulp Fiction.
No way.
That's my favorite movie.
Listen, what about we go to see a movie sometimes?
I'm free tomorrow.
Well, if you have serious intention.
The most serious.
Okay then.
Hey.
Jack.
I see you already made friends with my wife.
Ex-wife.
Jack, get out of here.
By the way, do you know why our marriage fell apart?
Jack, get out of here.
Lies.
Constantly lies.
And it makes your eyes turn red.
Can you imagine?
Hey, put your hands off her.
Alright, alright, alright.
Prove that I'm wrong.
No, it's not true.
Is it that true?
Tell me one more thing, please.
Do you just want this partner to have fun right after our breakup?
No, Gary, it's not like that.
Have a nice evening, lovebirds.
Listen.
I can explain.
No, thanks. I don't want to hear more lies.
I'll do everything.
I'm sorry, but it's for a lifetime.
Listen.
And what should I do?
No one will ever build a relationship with me.
Truth starts with oneself.
Stop lying to yourself and you'll stop lying to others.
Can you handle that?
I lied to you. I didn't watch Pulp Fiction, that's true.
But I do like you.
And I had a great time with you.
And I would love to get to know you better.
Do my eyes flash?
Yes, they do.
With sincerity.
