“What is love? Great minds have been grappling with this
question through the ages, and in the modern era, they have
come up with many different answers. According to the Western
philosopher Pat Benatar, love is a battlefield. Her paisan Frank
Sinatra would add the corollary that love is a tender trap. The
stoner kids who spent the summer of 1978 looking cool on the
hoods of their Trans Ams in the Pierce Elementary School
parking lot used to scare us little kids by blasting the Sweet hit
“Love Is Like Oxygen”—you get too much, you get too high,
not enough and you’re gonna die. Love hurts. Love stinks. Love
bites, love bleeds, love is the drug. The troubadours of our times
all agree: They want to know what love is, and they want you to
show them.
But the answer is simple. Love is a mix tape.”

“I believe in happy endings,” I tell him. “And it feels like this movie has gone on for
the right amount of time.”
“Movie?” Dr. Patel says, and I think he would look exactly like Gandhi if he had those
wire-rim glasses and a shaved head, which is weird, especially since we are in leather
recliners in such a bright, happy room and well, Gandhi is dead, right?
“Yeah,” I say. “Haven’t you ever noticed that life is like a series of movies?”
