Joking aside, this is one of my favorite endings to any movie, and it happens to be spoken by Mr. Cage himself:

"That night I had a dream. I dreamt I was as light as the ether- a floating spirit visiting things to come. The shades and shadows of the people in my life rassled their way their way into my slumber. I dreamed that Gale and Evelle had decided to return to prison. Probably that's just as well. I don't mean to sound superior, and they're a swell couple of guys, but maybe they weren't ready yet to come out into the world. And then I dreamed on, into the future, to a Christmas morn in the Arizona home where Nathan Junior was opening a present from a kindly couple who preferred to remain unknown. I saw Glen a few years later, still having no luck getting the cops to listen to his wild tales about me and Ed. Maybe he threw in one Polack joke too many. I don't know. And still I dreamed on, further into the future than I had ever dreamed before, watching Nathan Junior's progress from afar, taking pride in his accomplishments as if he were our own. Wondering if he ever thought of us and hoping that maybe we'd broadened his horizons a little even if he couldn't remember just how they got broadened. But still I hadn't dreamt nothing about me and Ed until the end. And this was cloudier cause it was years, years away. But I saw an old couple being visited by their children, and all their grandchildren too. The old couple weren't screwed up. And neither were their kids or their grandkids. And I don't know. You tell me. This whole dream, was it wishful thinking? Was I just fleeing reality like I know I'm liable to do? But me and Ed, we can be good too. And it seemed real. It seemed like us and it seemed like, well, our home. If not Arizona, then a land not too far away. Where all parents are strong and wise and capable and all children are happy and beloved. I don't know. Maybe it was Utah."

@JenniferS I saw an interview with that Chef Rocco guy that said his diet is guaranteeing that you lose a pound a day for three months. I think that involves days you don't eat. o_O

Thanks. Just googled it.

He may have lost a pound a day. I doubt I would.
A) He's a guy. Guys lose weight muuuuuuuch faster than middle aged women.
B) Much of his weight loss is attributable to giving up alcohol. I don't drink alcohol. At all.
C) He started working out twice a day. Two words - UGH!! (Whadda ya know, I only needed one word.)

Indeed. Classic Cage hilarity. But the ending still gets me every time with that dream sequence & monologue about getting older & how life passes by so quickly. Who'd have thought a Nicolas Cage moment could provoke such emotion?

Nicolas Cage knew. That's who.
