As they part ways, Del delivers a speech that perfectly encapsulates the movie's themes of friendship and gratitude."I don't have a home. Marie's been dead for eight years. That's why I'm here. I just know that every time I've been faced with a tough decision, there's only one thing that outweighs every other concern. One thing that will make you give up on everything you thought you knew, every instinct, every rational calculation. Love. One thing. Makes me happy. Makes me sad. Makes me miss home. Makes me lose home. Makes me lose all bearings. That one thing is love."
