			I want you to promise me 
			something.

					MELANIE 
			Anything.

					OLD JAKE 
			While you're... "studying" my 
			stories... poke your head up 
			every once in a while and take a 
			look around... see what's going 
			on.
				(smiles)
			It's life, Melanie...

					MELANIE

			And you can miss it if you don't 
			open your eyes...
