:52:00
What are the odds of another person
at a saIad bar Iooking Iike Joanie...
:52:04
...and yet not being Joanie?
:52:07
What, Iike a triIIion to one?
:52:09
CouId be higher than that.
:52:11
Anyway, when I reaIized it wasn't
Joanie, I was so disappointed.
:52:15
And I began to think about how much
I'd hoped that it was Joanie.
:52:19
But at this point
you stiII hadn't met.
:52:22
No. And I couIdn't get over how much
I wanted this person to be Joanie.
:52:27
And I think that was
the defining moment.
:52:30
I went back to my wife at the tabIe
at Beefsteak CharIie's...
:52:33
...and I reaIized I feIt more aIive
thinking about that stranger...
:52:37
...I thought was Joanie than I did
with the stranger who was my wife.
:52:41
We were both in marriages
we'd outgrown.
:52:43
you know, maybe I didn't
wanna admit it, but maybe...
:52:46
...I didn't Iike myseIf enough
to be with someone who Iiked me.
:52:50
Can you imagine anybody
not Iiking Eddie Kirby?
:52:53
I'm not so perfect.
:52:55
Beg to differ!
:52:57
That year we both mustered up
enough courage to Ieave our marriages.
:53:02
So at this point you had met.
:53:05
StiII hadn't met.
:53:07
But, you know, after you've had
such a horribIe marriage...
:53:11
...you don't wanna make
the same mistakes twice.
:53:14
So I made an inner pact with myseIf.
:53:16
I said, "Eddie, you wiII never
Iet anger buiId up to the point...
:53:20
...where you don't Iike
your partner. "
:53:22
-I made the same pact.
-That became our credo.
:53:24
"Never go to bed angry. "
:53:27
So now we taIk everything through.
:53:30
We won't Iet even the tiniest pea
be under our mattress.
:53:33
That's why we never eat in bed.
:53:39
Me too.
:53:44
Who 'd have thought the Kirbys...
:53:46
... the happiest couple
never to have met...
:53:49
... would be the greatest
aphrodisiac known to man?
