DAVID On your 40th birthday, I wish you nothing but health, happiness and love. (slight pause) I just wish it could have been me. David kisses Edward on the cheek. (In a mock southern accent) Now Blanche. Never say never. Right? Neal puts on a record. It is THE SEA by Bobby Daren. Then Edward looks over and sees Neal standing next to Ellen. Neal is leaning over and his head is pressed against Ellen's stomach. The two are giggling. David then gets up and walks over to the group. Edward looks about the room at all the new and old friends in his life. He then gets up and walks towards the window and looks out at the view. CUT TO: EXT. STREET-DAY CONTINUOUS Edward looks down from the window and sees the elderly American Indian gentleman from the diner in Wyoming standing on the street corner with another American Indian gentlemen the same age as he. The two men are holding hands. The camera then cuts to Edward with a disbelieving look on his face. The camera then cuts to the man and he slowly looks up at the window at Edward. He smiles and nods. Edward smiles and nods back. Then a trolley car pulls up and the two men disappear as the trolley pulls away. A calm, peaceful smile comes across Edward's face. Then a breeze blows and his breath is taken away. CUT TO: EXT. THE SHORE BY THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE An attractive man about Edward's age and his dog are standing on the beach. He is staring out at the ocean. A breeze blows again and his breath in now taken away, the same as Edward's. The man smiles. INT. NEAL'S LOFT- MOMENTS LATER Edward still looking out of the window, smiling. Edward then turns around and looks at his younger brother. Neal looks over at Edward and smiles. Edward smiles and winks back at his brother. Then Neal begins to dance towards Edward. Edward laughs. Neal then takes Edward's hand. The two brothers begin to dance together. The music gets louder. The others watch. The camera pulls out to a slow pull up shot of the party. Black out. Credits roll under the remains of the song. The End
