| Plot: | Burke is a motivational speaker who's book about dealing with grief is a best seller. His wife died in a car accident three years ago. He's in Seattle to lead a week-long workshop on healing and to negotiate a major multi-media deal. But something's amiss: he's a closet drinker, he won't ride elevators, his moods swing, he's estranged from his wife's father, and he's very much alone. In a hotel hallway, he bumps into a woman arranging flowers, tries to chat with her, and gets the brush-off. She's Eloise, a local florist who's just broken up with a boyfriend. He's persistent and they eventually go to dinner - it goes badly. What's blocking Burke? Can the physician heal himself. |

Continuity: When Walter (John Carroll Lynch) enters the hotel lobby and sees Burke (Aaron Eckhart), he puts the "A-OK!" lanyard on backwards, with the solid blue side facing out, and then cuts to a smiling Burke. When it cuts back to Walter, the lanyard is around his neck with the name tag side correctly facing outward. Continuity: When he goes to release Rocky, they get out of van - headlights are off. Camera goes to close-up and then returns to the van and the lights are on. GEOG: When the workshop group is on the roof, Burke asks them to tell him what they see. One woman says she sees "the ocean" but it's Puget Sound that is visible form Seattle. Continuity: When Burke arrives to the hotel for the first time and drinks a vodka on ice, the ice-cubes disappear while drinking. Nevertheless you can still hear the ice-cubes. Continuity: In the first scene where Eloise meets Burke she is wearing wedge heeled boots and in the next scene which is right when she leaves the hotel where she had met Burke she goes to see her boyfriend - when she is leaving his place she is wearing high heeled boots |
Quotes

Eloise: If you had a brain in either head, you'd know that I'm doing what's best for both of us. Burke: Funerals are important rituals. They're not only recognition that a person has died; they're recognition that a person has lived. Burke: I happen to know a thing or two about people. You get approached a lot. Probably have since the day you strapped on your first training bra. But you're smart, and you're creative, and you're caring and big... But, how come the guys only see the package it comes in, sure... you're flattered. But ultimately, ultimately it's tiresome because it has nothing to do with you. You were born that way, you can't take credit for it. Your insides though, that's yours. That's what you want someone to truly see. Even a stranger. Ergo... you fake a handicap. Rather than to have a conversation with a fellow human being. You prefer sign language? Fine. [shows middle finger] Eloise: Can I say something? And, and this comes from a place of total humility. With the acknowledgment that my life is a day-by-day experiment in... really bad decisions. But, er... you're really messed up. Burke: [first lines, in voice-over] Chapter one. Sometimes, despite your best efforts otherwise, life will give you lemons. When that happens, you've got two choices, friend: you can wear a sour face or make lemonade. |
