Mike Binder has always wanted to write a story about friendship. When people encounter difficulties, they need a friend around them to help themselves out of the trough. And the central idea of the film is'communication'-two men walk together and start chatting. On September 11, 2001, when the tragedy happened in New York, Mike Binder happened to be in New York. On that day, he witnessed many people on the street with panic and helpless faces. He could never forget these people. One and a half years after the 9/11 incident, Mike and his wife, who moved back to New York to settle down, came to the old place, trying to encounter some sorrowful faces that he could not forget, and to see what has changed in their lives over the past year. Thus, the prototype of this script was born. He reintegrated the experience of that day, what he saw and thought, and turned it into the true meaning behind the film

The main theme of the 9/11 disaster trauma syndrome. . . The old classmates in the same dormitory can also have such affectionate support. . . No one thinks Sandler looks like Bob Dylan when he was young. . . I'm more interested in Cheadle's performance than that. . .

[Charlie is meeting Angela for the first time. Angela goes off to get a cup of coffee]
Charlie Fineman: Are you kidding me? She's a baby.
Alan Johnson: Listen, you're right, she's young. But, she's-she's good. She's got a lot of experience with *loss* and grief counseling. Just give her a...
Charlie Fineman: [interrupting] She's got nice tits, that's not good.
Alan Johnson: Since when?
Charlie Fineman: [pause] Good point.
Alan Johnson: Listen. Look, we'll just do the meet-and-greet, you'll see what you think and if you like her, we'll just... we'll go from there.
Charlie Fineman: Am I wrong about her tits, though?
Alan Johnson: No, you're right. They're wonderful.
Angela Oakhurst: So what are you guys talking about? What's so wonderful?
[silence from Charlie and Alan]

Alan Johnson: You know, my wife and I, we tried to call him so many times. Hadn't seen him in years, and I erad about what happened in the paper, and I was just... I was just heartbroken for him. For them.
Ginger Timpleman: He just shut down. Quit work. He stopped wanting to talk about her. Then he acted like he didn't remember them. Then he pretended he didn't remember us.
Alan Johnson: Yeah.
Ginger Timpleman: All my husband and I want to do is see him. And that crazy landlady and his business manager, Sugarman, both conspire to keep us away.
Alan Johnson: Sugarman?
Ginger Timpleman: Yeah, I don't care for him. Who knows what that little shyster's taking from Charlie.
Alan Johnson: What is there to take?
Ginger Timpleman: Between the government payout and the insurance policy, Charlie has enough to take care of himself, put it that way. My husband retired young. He was a cop. We were young, young to be grandparents. I was gonna do nothing but travel and spoil my granddaughters. Then those monsters flew over here from across the world, and rearranged my dance card.
