I don't think I've seen The Mexican since it was first released. But, for some reason, I've always remembered that conversation between James Gandolfini and Julia Roberts. She got the answer wrong when Gandolfini asked her the question. When she asked Brad Pitt the question he answered "never."

I suppose I took that to be a righteous mentality. I firmly believed that you don't give up on people, but I see it happen all the time. It's happened to me quite frequently this past decade. I guess I was wrong about that. I think it must be absolutely acceptable to walk away from people. And I just have to realize that just because people are important to me, doesn't mean that I'm therefore important to them. It's just really strange.

Not all walked away. Time has just passed and the relationships just faded I suppose. But, you hear stories of friends getting back together after having not talked for years and they say it's like no time passed at all. I guess that's what I was anticipating.

I now kind of question the whole concept of friendship. I don't really know what it means anymore.
