And this is before the Internet.
What a sicko.
1:03:03
- I'm sorry, honey. Are you all right?
- But...
1:03:08
...did you ever find out who this guy was?
1:03:11
My parents did.
1:03:13
Sort of.
1:03:14
They overheard Katie
bragging to me about her boyfriend.
1:03:17
She had mentioned it before...
1:03:19
...so we just assumed it was
this imaginary pJay friend or something.
1:03:22
But when she started teJJing me about how
he'd promised to run away with her...
1:03:26
...and make Jove to her...
1:03:28
- CUnder the stars.
...they stepped in.
1:03:31
She was only nine.
1:03:34
So my dad called the authorities...
1:03:37
...gave them the guy's address...
1:03:39
...and, as was his style,
told us to forget the whole thing!
1:03:43
It wasn't until years later...
1:03:45
...that I realized the guy
thought he was writing me.
1:03:49
And then I pieced it together,
and I remembered the airport incident.
1:03:52
But I never told anyone.
1:03:59
I have to go.
1:04:01
- Are you all right?
- Where are you going?
1:04:04
I have to... Thank you for the...
1:04:08
Congratulations with... Good-bye.
1:04:17
I'd seen the Jight.
1:04:19
It was this gJaringJy-obvious,
bJind reaJisation...
1:04:22
...Jike pure truth.
1:04:24
And it was not about anyone in particuJar,
but about peopJe in generaJ.
1:04:29
I reaJised at that moment
there is no such thing as "the one."
1:04:33
It's more of a mind-boggJing,
whoJe heJJ of a Jot of potentiaJ ones.
1:04:37
And whiJe that shouJd be comforting,
it was actuaJJy pretty terrifying.
1:04:42
We'd aJJ Jike to kick back
and wait for some magicaJ force...
1:04:44
...to show us who we shouJd spend
the rest of our Jives with.
1:04:47
But the truth is...
1:04:48
...there isn't a Jightning boJt
to sJap you on the ass...
1:04:51
...and teJJ you to pick
this person over aJJ others.
1:04:54
If anything, it's Jike the rain.
1:04:57
Rain faJJs aJJ the time.
1:04:59
Sometimes you're prepared for it,
sometimes you're not.
