[voiceover] There are so many different ways to be connected to people. There are the people you feel this unspoken connection to, even though there's not even a word for it. There's the people who you've known forever who know you in this way that other people can't because they've seen you change.

[Sharon's father has had a heart attack] I wanted to hug Sharon. But, I didn't have the right, because we weren't friends anymore.
Why can't you even be nice to me?!
[shouting] Why do you need me to be nice to you, since everyone else in the world is?!
It's not like that...You are the one person I needed it most from.
I landed the account.
I don't, understand..
When they told me, I don't know, it was like a, this moment because I had to admit that, I didn't want to land it. Because landing it means that, I'm really doing this. This is my job, this is my life, this is it! This is what I really.. - But, look I'm sorry that I couldn't uh..
Oh no, that's..
..You know, handle it or whatever..
That's okay..
But look, I landed it right? - That's all that matters.
I don't think so. I don't think that's all that matters.
Say what you mean.
I'm proud of you, I'm glad you landed the account, and you're fired.
What?!
You're fired, because I love you, because I don't want to lose you.
Uh, no, no Patty it's okay, I-I-I can fix my responsibilities..
I know it, but you're not happy, you're not. You're.. [sighs] something has to change.
What'll we do? I mean...
I don't know..
What'll I do? I don't even..
I don't know what you're gonna do.. I guess you're finally going to figure it out.
My father almost died. And you were the only person who didn't even seem to care, people I barely knew, were coming up to me all like, concerned, and you, you acted like you barely even knew me.
[Beginning to cry] I know, I know I acted like that. I just didn't know what else to do.. I knew I was the last person on earth you wanted to deal with..
[Beginning to cry] You were, the only, person, I wanted to deal with..
[Crying] I wanted to talk to you too, it just seemed like, you wanted help from everyone but me!
I was, really scared.
I was too. [They hug]
[Crying] I know, I know we have different friends now, but sometimes I miss you so much!
Me too..
It really, hurt.
[Smiling, and offering hand like when they were young] Squeeze my hand as hard as it hurts..
