湖边小屋:能否实现相隔两年的约定
Alex父亲去世,Kate给他一本两年以后才出版的父亲的著作,试图抚慰他失去父亲的伤痛。Alex能感受到这丝丝的柔情,却触摸不到。他无法忍受这样只有书信往来的联系方式,决定要与Kate见面。两人约定在一个叫Il Mare的餐馆见面。
对Kate来说约定就在明天,但是对Alex来说,却有两年的时间,他们能见面吗?
Alex:Pick a place. I'll be there, I promise. Tomorrow, what do you say?
Kate:But, Alex, it won't be tomorrow for you. You're gonna have to wait two years.
Alex:I know, I don't care. I'll wait.
Kate:Are you sure? I don't know.
Alex:I do. I've never been so sure of anything in my life.
Kate:Okay. I'll see you in two years, then.
Alex:See you tomorrow, then. Kate, where would you like to go?
Kate:Il Mare.
Receptionist:When were you hoping to dine with us?
