All language subtitles for The Big C (2010) S04E04 The Finale.en

PREVIOUSLY ON THE BIG C...

SO, THE HOSPICE, HUH?

HOW DOES THIS FEEL?

I REALLY LIKE IT HERE.

THIS IS HOW I WANT TO GO.

IT HASN'T BEEN EASY
NOT HAVING YOU AROUND.

OVER MY DEAD BODY

ARE YOU NOT GRADUATING
ON TIME.

YOU'RE DOING A GREAT DEED

DONATING YOUR KIDNEY
TO A STRANGER.

- WE NEED TO GO SEE DAD.
- YOU HATE DAD.

HE'S NOT THAT BAD, SEAN.

I THINK IT IS
INCREDIBLY BIG OF YOU

TO MAKE AMENDS WITH DAD.
- FUCK HIM!

I HAVE TO TURN IN
SOME "JUST CLOTHES" DESIGNS

TO SIR ISAAC MIZRAHI.

HE'S FASHION ROYALTY.

- TOO MUCH?
- NO. LOVE.

HOW LONG DO MOST OF US
STICK AROUND FOR?

SOME PEOPLE GO FOR MONTHS.

YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW
WHAT'S COMING.

- YEAH!
- FANTASTIC!

WHOO!

I WANT YOU TO PLAY THAT
AT MY FUNERAL

JUST TO PROVE
THAT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

TO START SOMETHING NEW.

I ALSO--
I HAVE A LIST.

THERE'S A CATERER
THAT WILL DO THE SPREAD

FOR THE TWO-DAY VIEWING.

- GREAT, CAN WE BE DONE NOW?
- ALMOST.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO ABOUT DAD.

FUCK DAD.

IT'S LIKE
AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE WITH YOU.

FUCK, YEAH.
ASSHOLE.

- I NEED TO CALL HIM.
- FUCK HIM!

WE HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM

SINCE WE WENT TO HIS HOUSE
LAST YEAR AND TOLD HIM OFF.

I MEAN, HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
I'M SICK.

HE'S NOT EVEN AN ASSHOLE.
HE'S THE WHOLE ASS.

OKAY, JUST STOP.
STOP!

ADAM, I DON'T WANT YOU TALKING
LIKE THAT WHEN I'M GONE.

WHOA.
ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

YOU WANT ME TO CALL HIM
FOR YOU, HONEY?

NO.
I SHOULD DO IT.

NOT LIKE
I'M HIS FAVORITE GUY ANYWAY.

I COULD CALL HIM
IF YOU WANT.

NO, IT'S OKAY, ADAM.
IT'S JUST--

IT'S A SHAME YOU
DON'T HAVE

A RELATIONSHIP
WITH YOUR GRANDPA.

YEAH, IT'S A REAL SHAME
YOU DON'T GET TO HANG AROUND

WITH THIS REALLY MEAN GUY
WE KNOW.

WHAT IF WE NEVER
SEE HIM AGAIN?

- FUCK HIM.
- OKAY, I GOT TO GO.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING TO HANG OUT

WITH LYDIA AND JEFF
AND SOME FRIENDS.

- WHERE?
- UH, JEFF'S HOUSE.

WE'RE GONNA PLAY
SOME VIDEO GAMES,

YOU KNOW, SMOKE SOME POT,
DO SOME BLOW,

MAYBE SOME SPEEDBALLS,
AND THEN GO FOR A DRIVE, SO...

WELL, THEN DO YOU THINK

MAYBE YOU COULD SQUEEZE
SOME HOMEWORK

IN BETWEEN SPEEDBALL
AND THE JOYRIDE?

UH...
YEAH, I WILL.

I LOVE YOU.
- BYE.

SEE YOU, DAD.
SEE YOU, SEAN.

- SEE YOU.
- BUDDY.

WHY IS HE ALWAYS RUSHING
OUT OF HERE?

MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT YOUR FUNERAL

LIKE IT'S A GROCERY LIST.

IT WAS A LITTLE CAVALIER.

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE
CROSSING THINGS OFF A LIST.

OH, I GET IT.
GOD, I SO GET IT.

YOU'RE ACTIVE.
YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHAT KEEPS YOU
FROM TOTALLY LOSING IT.

YOU KNOW,
I'M DOING ALL THESE TESTS

RIGHT NOW
FOR THE TRANSPLANT.

AND IT FEELS SO GOOD

TO BE ACTIVELY MOVING
TOWARDS A GOAL.

I'M THINKING
ABOUT WHAT I CAN GIVE NEXT--

BONE MARROW,
BLOOD, FOR SURE.

YOU KNOW, I MIGHT EVEN GET
MY TONSILS OUT.

NOT TO DONATE,

BUT I DON'T REALLY NEED THEM.

YEAH, SEE?

THAT'S HOW I FEEL.

THERE YOU ARE.

HERE I AM.
NICE POCKET SQUARE.

YOU KNOW, ANDREA,

MY FIRST WEEK HERE,
I LOOKED AROUND THE CLASSROOM.

I STUDIED
EVERYBODY'S FIRST SKETCHES,

AND I MADE
SOME SNAP JUDGMENTS.

AND HOW DID I DO?

WELL, I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA
BE MY BIG ATTITUDE PROBLEM

WHO THOUGHT
SHE WAS GOD'S GIFT TO DESIGN.

I ENVISIONED US
IN A BIG FASHION FIGHT--

FEATHERS FLYING,
BEADS THROWN,

WORDS SAID
THAT CAN'T BE TAKEN BACK.

WE CAN STILL DO THAT.

BUT YOU SURPRISED ME.

YOU AMUSED ME.
YOU TOOK MY BREATH AWAY.

- ARE YOU GONNA PROPOSE TO ME?
- YES, I AM.

I PROPOSE THAT YOU COME
TO NEW YORK THIS SUMMER

AND INTERN FOR ME.

I'LL PAY YOU JUST ENOUGH
TO PUT YOU

IN A BUG-INFESTED APARTMENT
THE SIZE OF A CLOSET.

YOU'LL BE LIVING THE DREAM.

THAT IS MY DREAM.

OH, MY GOD!
THAT'S MY DREAM!

YAY!
- YAY.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS.

IT'S AN "S."
- MM-HMM. HA.

DAMN IT.

I WISH THERE WAS A WAY
I COULD CHECK ON YOU GUYS.

LET'S MAKE A SIGNAL.

IF YOUR ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH

GOES OFF
WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT,

IT'S JUST ME SAYING HI.
- OKAY.

BUT WHAT IF THAT
REALLY FREAKS ME OUT?

♪ KNOCK, KNOCK ♪

HI, CATHY.
PAUL.

HELLO.

I HAVE SOME INFORMATION

I WANTED
TO SHARE WITH YOU.

WOULD NOW BE A GOOD TIME
FOR A CHAT?

HAVE A SEAT.

SO, YOUR INSURANCE
COVERS FOUR MONTHS

OF ON-SITE HOSPICE CARE.

AND NEXT FRIDAY,
YOU WILL HAVE BEEN WITH US

EXACTLY FOUR MONTHS.

SO, WE NEED TO MAKE A PLAN.

A PLAN FOR WHAT?

WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO GO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
WHERE AM I GONNA GO?

I DON'T WANT TO GO
ANYWHERE.

DO WE JUST HAVE
THE WORST INSURANCE EVER?

ACTUALLY,
THIS IS VERY STANDARD.

AND YOUR INSURANCE
DOES COVER HOME HOSPICE CARE,

WHICH WOULD START
AS SOON AS YOU GET HOME.

AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE
A HOSPICE NURSE

COMING IN TO CHECK ON YOU
SEVERAL HOURS A DAY.

OKAY, WHAT IF WE WANTED
TO STAY HERE?

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST
TO PAY OUT OF POCKET?

WELL, UNFORTUNATELY,

WE ARE
AN INSURANCE-BASED HOSPICE,

SO WE CAN ONLY PROVIDE CARE
THROUGH YOUR PLAN.

- YOU DON'T TAKE CASH?
- MM-MM.

WHO DOESN'T TAKE CASH?

I MEAN, LOOK,
WE--WE KNOW YOU HAVE ROOM HERE.

I MEAN, THAT BED'S BEEN EMPTY
FOR MONTHS.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT'S OKAY, CATH.

IT'S ACTUALLY GREAT.

I GET TO TAKE
MY BRIDE HOME AGAIN.

ACTUALLY, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
BE EXCITED ABOUT GOING HOME.

I'M EXCITED.
I'LL GET YOU ALL SET UP, HONEY.

YOU CAN CURL UP
WITH YOUR OWN BLANKET.

WE HAD A WOMAN HERE
A FEW MONTHS AGO

WHO BEGGED TO GO HOME

JUST TO SIT
IN HER FAVORITE ROCKER

ON HER SUNPORCH.

AND HER HUSBAND SAID THAT
THAT IS WHERE SHE PASSED

WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE.

IF I WANTED TO SIT
ON MY FRICKIN' SUNPORCH,

I WOULD NEVER HAVE COME HERE.

BUT I DID COME HERE,

BECAUSE I DON'T WANT OUR SON
TO ASSOCIATE OUR HOUSE

WITH THE PLACE
WHERE HIS MOTHER DIED.

"OH, THAT'S THE ROOM
SHE FELL DOWN IN.

THAT'S THE ROOM WHERE
SHE FINALLY PASSED."

I CAME HERE TO DIE.

WELL, YOU HAVE
UNTIL FRIDAY.

HE SAID THAT I INSPIRE HIM.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

YOU INSPIRE ME.

I FIGURED AT FIRST
THAT HE WAS, LIKE, CREATING

SOME NEW BIG-GAL LINE,

BUT IT'S REGULAR
SKINNY CLOTHES.

ARE YOU WINKING AT ME?

I'M SORRY.

IT HELPS ME FOCUS.
GO ON.

AND THIS IS REALLY COOL.

WE BOTH GET GOOD NEWS
ON THE SAME DAY.

I GET A JOB,
AND YOU'RE GOING HOME.

YEP.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
I'M SHELLFISH?

I LIKE SEEING YOU GUYS
ON MY ROUNDS.

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S LIKE A JOKE.

A PRIEST, A RABBI,
AND A MUSLIM DUDE...

NO, AN IMAM.

- ALL WALK INTO A BAR.
- A HOSPICE.

ANDREA, WOULD YOU ASK THEM
TO COME OVER HERE?

WHERE DO YOU THINK WE GO
WHEN WE DIE?

IT'S THE QUESTION
I'M MOST OFTEN ASKED,

SECOND ONLY TO,
"HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE?"

I GET THAT ONE TOO.

CATHOLIC THOUGHT
IS THAT YOU GO TO HEAVEN,

WHERE BELIEVERS ENJOY
THE PRESENCE OF GOD

AND THE FREEDOM
FROM SUFFERING AND SIN.

THAT SOUNDS NICE.

ALL RIGHT, RABBI,
WHAT YOU GOT?

WELL, THE TORAH
DOES NOT DISCUSS AN AFTERLIFE.

WE FOCUS ON OLAM HA ZE--
THIS WORLD...

THE HERE AND NOW.

WELL, MY "HERE AND NOW"
IS ABOUT TO GET UP AND GO.

SO, CAN YOU GIVE ME SOMETHING
TO GET EXCITED ABOUT?

WELL,
THERE IS A FAMOUS MIDRASH

THAT DESCRIBES SOULS
IN THE AFTERLIFE

AT A HUGE BANQUET TABLE,

SHARING DELICIOUS FOOD.

- THAT'S BETTER.
- I LIKE JEWISH FOOD.

OH, SAME HERE.

OUR PARADISE, JANNAH,
IS PRETTY NICE.

YOU GET TO WEAR FANCY ROBES,

AND YOU CAN RECLINE
ON COUCHES.

I MIGHT BE MUSLIM.

BUT THE SICK AND THE DYING
HAVE TO WAIT THEIR TURN TO GO.

IT'S A BIG TEASE.

THE ESSENCE OF FAITH

IS SURRENDERING
TO GOD'S WILL.

AND HIS TIMING.

I TAKE GREAT COMFORT

IN KNOWING
THAT MY LIFE AND DEATH

IS NO MORE IMPORTANT
THAN OTHERS.

BUT IF I HAVE TO STAY HERE

AND WAIT FOR GOD TO DECIDE
WHEN HE'S READY TO LET ME GO,

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE
SO PAINFUL?

YOUR ILLNESS IS NOT
JUST TO TEST YOU,

BUT TO TEST THE CHARITY
OF OTHERS.

HAVE YOU SEEN GENEROSITY
AND KINDNESS

IN THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU?

WELL, WE BELIEVE THAT BEAUTY

AND THE KNOWLEDGE
OF THAT GOODNESS IS ALLAH.

WE BELIEVE IT'S GOD.

WE'RE NOT SURE.

OH, LORD JESUS CHRIST,
MOST MERCIFUL LORD OF EARTH,

WE ASK THAT YOU RECEIVE
THIS CHILD INTO YOUR ARMS,

THAT SHE MAY PASS IN SAFETY
FROM THIS CRISIS.

AS THOU HAST TOLD US
WITH INFINITE COMPASSION,

LET NOT YOUR HEART
BE TROUBLED.

YE BELIEVE IN GOD,
BELIEVE ALSO IN ME.

HOW YOU DOING, ADAM?

I'M TIRED.

YOU LOOK TIRED.

ALL MY FRIENDS ARE PARTYING

BECAUSE THEY'RE ALMOST
OUT OF SCHOOL,

AND I'M STILL TAKING TESTS.

WELL,
YOU DUG YOUR OWN HOLE.

NOW JUMP IN.

I'M READY.

I DON'T WANT IT
TO GET ANY MORE PAINFUL...

NOT FOR ME,

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
FOR MY FAMILY.

I APOLOGIZE

IF I DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH FAITH IN MY LIFE

OR THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH.

BUT RIGHT NOW...

I BELIEVE IN YOU.

I BELIEVE YOU CAN HELP ME.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP.

I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO KEEP.

IF I SHOULD DIE
BEFORE I WAKE...

THAT'D BE GOOD.

GOD DAMN IT.

NOT ONLY DID YOU THINK
THAT YOU COULD GET EVERYONE

AND EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL
BEFORE YOU DIED,

BUT YOU ACTUALLY THOUGHT
THAT YOU COULD CONTROL

WHEN YOU DIED?

WELL, NOT JUST ME.

I THOUGHT I COULD INVOKE
A LITTLE DIVINE HELP.

YEAH, BUT ISN'T HAVING FAITH
LARGELY DEFINED

BY SURRENDERING CONTROL?

I HAVE SURRENDERED CONTROL.

I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME
GO TO THE BATHROOM.

I'VE COMPLETELY GIVEN UP
TRYING TO LOOK CUTE.

I'M RECONCILING THE FACT

TH MY DAD AND I
WILL NEVER BE CLOSE.

AND I WON'T GET TO SEE ADAM
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

YEAH,
BUT YOU'RE ALSO AFRAID

THAT YOUR DEATH
MIGHT SCREW UP ADAM.

THAT'S NOT THE SAME
AS TRUSTING

IN A HIGHER PLAN
FOR A GREATER GOOD.

I THOUGHT THERAPY WAS SUPPOSED
TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

- NOT NECESSARILY.
- HMM.

THEN YOU'RE DOING GREAT.

WHY, THANK YOU.

SO, IF I SIGN SOMETHING

SAYING I'M WILLING
TO MEET THE PERSON

THAT I'M DONATING
MY KIDNEY TO

AND THEY SIGN SOMETHING SAYING
THEY'RE WILLING TO MEET ME,

THEN IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE ANONYMOUS.

AND GUESS WHAT.

WE BOTH SIGNED.

I'M MEETING HIM.
HIS NAME IS RAY.

YOU DON'T EVEN SEEM NERVOUS.

NO, NO.
I'M OVER THAT PART NOW.

HEY, YOU KNOW HOW YOU HEAR
THESE STORIES

THAT SOMETIMES DONORS
AND DONEES

BECOME LIFELONG FRIENDS?

WELL, MAYBE NOW THAT HE'LL HAVE
A LITTLE PIECE OF ME IN HIM,

MAYBE HE'LL BECOME
LIKE A BROTHER.

YOU KNOW?
- SEAN...

NOW, I KNOW THAT I'VE JUDGED YOU
FOR NOT BEING TYPICAL,

BUT YOU DO AMAZING THINGS.

YOU HELP PEOPLE,
WHICH IS WHY

YOU'RE THE PERSON
I'M ASKING TO HELP ME NOW.

WITH WHAT?

I'M READY TO GO.

UH, WHERE?

ON MY ADVENTURE
TO THE GREAT BEYOND.

AND IF I DON'T DIE NATURALLY
IN HERE BY FRIDAY,

I HAVE TO DIE IN THE HOUSE
IN FRONT OF ADAM,

AND I DON'T WANT
TO DO THAT.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,

I WANT TO DO
THIS LAST HURRAH WITH YOU.

BUT I'M RELYING
ON YOUR AMAZING ABILITY

NOT TO JUDGE.

AND I LOVE YOU,

WHICH IS WHY...

MY DYING WISH IS THAT...

YOU HELP ME DIE.

Y-YOU ARE
A FUCKING CRAZY LADY!

HEY.
HEY, CRAZY LADY,

WHAT DID YOU JUST DO
WITH MY SISTER?

DID YOU EAT HER?

IF I LOOKED IN YOUR MOUTH
RIGHT NOW,

WOULD CATHY BE DOWN THERE
SCREAMING,

"HEY, THIS CRAZY BITCH
JUST GOBBLED ME UP,

BUT I'M TOTALLY SANE,
AND I'M DOWN HERE"?

JUST KEEP IT DOWN, SEAN.

I'M NOT GONNA HELP YOU
KILL YOURSELF, CATH.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
VEGAN KIDNEY DONORS DO, HUH?

WE SAVE LIVES,
NOT DESTROY THEM.

- I JUST WANT TO--
- WHAT?

PARTICIPATE
IN MY OWN DEATH,

ACKNOWLEDGE IT, ACCEPT IT.

IT'S NOT LIKE
I'M CUTTING MY LIFE SHORT.

I KNOW MY TIME IS UP.

YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

YOU COULD HAVE TEN DAYS,
OR YOU COULD HAVE SIX MONTHS.

I CAN'T WALK, SEAN.

MY VISION IS SO MESSED UP.

I'M TERRIFIED OF GOING BLIND
AND HEARING YOUR VOICE

AND NOT BEING ABLE
TO SEE YOUR FACE.

THE PAIN MEDICATION
THEY GIVE ME--

IT DOESN'T TAKE IT
ALL AWAY ANYMORE.

AND I'M HURTING
ALL THE TIME NOW, SEAN.

NOW, LOOK,
I MIGHT BE WEAK-MINDED,

OR MAYBE I'M JUST
NOT FRAMING THIS RIGHT,

BUT I WANT TO GO...

NOW.

WELL, WHY ME?
HUH?

WHY NOT--WHY NOT PAUL?

YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE PARTNERS WITH HIM

IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH.

PAUL DEFINITELY
WOULDN'T GET IT.

I'M WORRIED
HE'S NOT GONNA HONOR

THE DNR I SIGNED.

WELL, I DON'T GET IT EITHER.

OKAY.
THAT'S FINE.

HER BIRTHDAY
IS IN TWO MONTHS.

WE HAVE TO PLAN SOMETHING
REALLY MEANINGFUL, YOU KNOW?

GREAT IDEA.

HEY, EVERYBODY.

- HEY, MAN.
- HEY, SEAN.

CHECK OUT THIS CASHMERE
BLANKET I GOT FOR CATHY.

IT'S LIKE SLEEPING
WITH A BUNNY.

YEAH. IT'S NICE.

WHO'S, UH, GONNA GO
SEE HER TONIGHT?

- I AM.
- I'M GOING TOMORROW.

ME TOO.

WHY? IS SHE WORSE?

NO. NO. SHE--
SAME.

JUST--YOU NEVER KNOW,
SO, YOU KNOW...

IT'S GOOD TO SAY
WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

WHAT'S THAT?

IT'S JUST TO KEEP TRACK
OF HER MEDICATIONS.

ONE OF THE NURSES
AT THE HOSPICE

TAUGHT ME HOW
THEY MAKE THEIR CHARTS.

BUDDY,
YOU LEFT OFF TUESDAY.

OH, SHIT.

IT WON'T COME OFF.
- WHY NOT?

IT'S PERMANENT MARKER.

DAMN IT, ADAM.
WHAT THE HELL?

I JUST REACHED
INTO THE DRAWER.

I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT.

YEAH, WELL, YOU SHOULD'VE
THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

- IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL, IS IT?
- OH, I DON'T KNOW.

IS IT A BIG DEAL IF SHE
DOESN'T GET THE RIGHT PILLS?

YOU KNOW WHAT?
LET'S JUST SKIP TUESDAY.

WHO CARES, RIGHT?

I MEAN, IF SHE DOESN'T GET
HER PAIN MEDICATION ON TIME

AND I'M IN THE GARAGE
AND I CAN'T HEAR HER SCREAM,

WHO CARES, RIGHT?

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
FUCK IT. NO BIG DEAL.

W-WHOA, PAUL.

I MEAN, WHY ARE WE EVEN TRYING
TO MAKE THIS PLACE LOOK NICE?

I KNOW. LET'S LET HER DRAG
HERSELF UP THE STAIRS,

AND IF SHE FALLS DOWN--

OH, GOD!

IT'S OKAY, BUDDY.

IT'S OKAY.
IT'S OKAY.

IT'S OKAY.

I'M SCARED.

I KNOW.

SHE DOESN'T WANT
TO COME HOME, YOU KNOW.

CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING?

AND I HATE MYSELF FOR THIS.

I DON'T WANT HER
TO COME HOME EITHER.

IF YOU STILL WANT
TO DO THIS THING,

I'LL HELP YOU.

ONCE YOU HAVE
THE PLASTIC TUBING

AND THE PLASTIC HOOD,

YOU NEED 2 HELIUM TANKS
FOR 50 PARTY BALLOONS,

UH, WHICH YOU CAN RENT OR BUY.

IF I RENT THEM,
YOU HAVE TO RETURN THEM.

THE FIRST TANK
SHOULD KILL YOU.

BUT THE SECOND TANK IS JUST
IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG.

GOD ALMIGHTY,
HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

REALLY WELL.

I COULD HARDLY SLEEP AT ALL
WHEN MY WIFE

WAS IN THE FINAL STAGES
OF LYMPHOMA

AND BEGGED ME NOT TO LET HER DIE
IN THE HOSPITAL.

W-WE FOUND THIS GROUP,

AND THEY TOLD US
ABOUT SOME OPTIONS.

AND THEN WE FOUND
A SYMPATHETIC DOCTOR

WHO GAVE US SOME DRUGS
THAT I MIXED--

I MEAN, THAT SHE MIXED
INTO HER COFFEE.

AND HER FINAL WORDS WERE,
"THANK YOU, LOVE."

THE HOOD...

DOESN'T SEEM VERY DISCREET.

AND--AND THEN ADAM WOULD KNOW.

IS THERE ANYTHING
LESS DRAMATIC?

WELL, SOME PEOPLE TAKE
AS MUCH MORPHINE AS THEY CAN

AND THEN HAVE SOMEONE ELSE
PLACE A BAG OVER THEIR HEAD

WHEN THEY'VE FALLEN ASLEEP

AND THEN DISPOSE
OF THE BAG AFTER.

NO!
WHOA.

I AM NOT SUFFOCATING
MY OWN SISTER.

REMEMBER AT CAMP?

YOU LOVED TO HOLD ME
UNDERWATER.

OH, MY GOD, CATHY.
DON'T SAY THAT.

I WAS TRYING TO TORTURE YOU,
NOT KILL YOU.

SO, HOW DO WE GET IN TOUCH

WITH ONE
OF THESE SYMPATHETIC DOCTORS?

WE'RE NOT ALLOWED
TO GIVE OUT NAMES.

TOO BAD YOU DON'T LIVE
IN OREGON.

YEAH, THAT'S ONE
OF A FEW THINGS

I FEEL BAD ABOUT RIGHT NOW.

IT'S A LOT TO TAKE IN.
HERE'S MY CARD.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
OR WANT TO TALK SOME MORE,

JUST GIVE ME A CALL.

HEY, TOTALLY GREAT
AND WEIRD TO MEET YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

LOOK, I HAVE GOT TO GO NOW

AND MEET
MY KIDNEY BROTHER RAY.

AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS
WHEN I GET BACK, OKAY?

OH, HEY.

DON'T GO TO THE PARTY STORE
BEFORE I COME BACK.

MR. TOLKE,
THIS IS RAY MILSON.

UH, SEAN. SEAN.
CALL ME SEAN.

THIS IS MY WIFE JANELLE.

CAN I JUST GIVE YOU A HUG?

IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M GOING
TO TAKE CARE OF A FEW THINGS,

AND LET YOU ALL
GET ACQUAINTED.

WELL, I REALLY APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING, SEAN.

OH, IT'S MY PLEASURE, RAY.

UM, THIS HAS BEEN
A REALLY GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

MY SISTER'S DYING.

SO, BEING ABLE TO FOCUS
ON SOMETHING POSITIVE

LIKE KIDNEY SURGERY--
IT'S BEEN JUST GREAT.

I'M SO SORRY
TO HEAR THAT.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU
OR YOUR FAMILY NEED,

WE'D LOVE TO HELP YOU OUT
IN ANY WAY WE CAN.

THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU,
BUT WE'RE OKAY.

THANKS.

WE'RE JUST SO GRATEFUL
TO YOU.

- WE BROUGHT YOU A GIFT.
- IT'S SORT OF A THANK-YOU.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WILLING
TO DO THIS FOR A STRANGER

MEANS THE WORLD.

OH.

I'M SORRY.
I-I DON'T WANT THAT.

I-IT'S JUST A TOKEN.

I DON'T VALUE
MATERIAL GOODS.

WELL, THEY SAY ONCE YOU
GO ROLEX, YOU NEVER GO BACK.

ARE YOU TRYING TO BUY
MY KIDNEY WITH A WATCH?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

IT'S JUST A THANK-YOU.

NO, "THANK YOU"
IS JUST A THANK-YOU.

THAT'S A WATCH,

THE CASH VALUE OF WHICH COULD GO
TO PAY SOMEBODY'S HEALTH CARE

WHO WILL DIE
OF THEIR KIDNEY DISEASE

WITHOUT EVER BEING ABLE
TOO TO THE DOCTOR

TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S KILLING THEM.

WE DIDN'T MEAN
TO INSULT YOU.

IF YOU DON'T WANT
THE WATCH--

YOU INSULTED HUMANITY.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE THE REASON
I, JUST THIS MINUTE,

DECIDED TO GO LIVE BACK
ON THE STREETS.

- YOU'RE HOMELESS?
- NO, I AM A FREEGAN.

I AM OCCASIONALLY HOMELESS
BY CHOICE.

WELL, ALL HOMELESS PEOPLE
ARE HOMELESS BY CHOICE.

WHAT THE ROLEX IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE

WHO DON'T TAKE PROPER ADVANTAGE
OF OPPORTUNITY.

HOLY FUCK, RAY.

IF YOUR HEAD'S THAT FAR UP
YOUR ASS,

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO KISS
YOUR KIDNEY GOOD-BYE

ON ITS WAY OUT.

GUESS WHAT.

I GOT WESLEY TO COUGH UP
THE NAME

OF A KEVORKIAN-TYPE DOCTOR
IN OREGON.

THEY ARE SO CIVILIZED THERE.

IF YOU ARE TERMINAL, THEY--
THEY WRITE YOU A PRESCRIPTION,

YOU DRINK A LITTLE DRINK,
YOU GO TO SLEEP.

WOW. SOUNDS GREAT.

AND THAT WONDERFUL DOCTOR

IS GOING TO GIVE ME THAT DRINK.

BUT HE WON'T PUT IT IN THE MAIL.

SO, I NEED YOU, PLEASE.
YOU NEED TO GET TO OREGON.

YOU NEED TO SHOW HIM
MY SCANS

AND BRING BACK THE GOODS.

IT'LL GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TIME
BEFORE YOUR SURGERY ON MONDAY.

IT DOESN'T MATTER,

'CAUSE I'M--I'M NOT DOING
THE SURGERY ANYMORE.

SO, UH,
WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO

TO MEET
YOUR DOCTOR FEEL-NO-MORE?

WHY AREN'T YOU DOING
THE SURGERY?

JUST FOUND OUT
MY KIDNEY BROTHER, RAY,

IS A FUCKING ELITIST BIGOT.

SO, I'M JUST GOING
TO LET HIM DIE, GO TO OREGON,

GET THE STUFF TO COME BACK
AND KILL YOU.

AS A PACIFIST, I'M GONNA HAVE
A LOT BLOOD ON MY HANDS,

BUT IT FEELS RIGHT.

SEAN,
YOU CAN'T LET THIS MAN DIE.

NO, NO, IT'S OKAY.
HE'S COMPLETELY CRAZY.

HE DOESN'T BELIEVE
IN HOMELESS PEOPLE.

LOOK, YOU DON'T KNOW.

I MEAN, MAYBE
THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD THINGS

THAT RAY DOES.

I DOUBT IT.

HE MIGHT GIVE
TO AN ANIMAL CHARITY.

LOOK,
EVEN IF HE ISN'T GENEROUS,

MAYBE YOUR ACT OF GENEROSITY
WILL CHANGE HIM.

YOU'LL BE GIVING HIM YEARS

TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO CHANGE.

I--

EVEN IF HE DOESN'T,

MAYBE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE
WHO LOVE RAY,

WARTS AND ALL, VERY MUCH.

YOU'D BE GIVING THEM
AT LEAST THE OPPORTUNITY

TO HAVE MORE HOLIDAYS
WITH HIM,

TO FEEL THAT LOVE
BEFORE IT TURNS TO HEARTACHE.

I CAN'T DO BOTH,
NOT BY FRIDAY.

I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE
ANOTHER ROUND OF BLOOD WORK.

AND THEY ASKED ME
NOT TO TRAVEL

TO AVOID
ANY LAST-MINUTE DISEASE.

- OH.
- SEE?

LET ME DO THIS.

IT'S MORE IMPORTANT
YOU DIE THAN HE LIVE.

NO, IT ISN'T.

MY LIFE OR MY DEATH

ARE NO MORE IMPORTANT
THAN ANYONE ELSE'S.

W-WHAT ARE
YOU GONNA DO, THEN?

I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS REAL...

PUSH-PULL THING
WITH GOD LATELY

AND THE REASON
FOR HIS OR HER TIMING.

YOU KNOW,
I'VE NEVER REALLY DIED BEFORE,

SO MAYBE I JUST NEED TO PLAY
THE WHOLE THING OUT.

TAKE IT AS IT COMES.

WHAT?
WHAT'S WRONG?

A PACIFIST
WITH BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.

I-I MEAN...

I NEVER EVEN KILLED
A SPIDER BEFORE.

AND HERE I WAS,
READY TO TAKE TWO PEOPLE OUT.

YOUR HOME HOSPICE NURSE
IS COMING THIS AFTERNOON.

I THINK HER NAME IS INA.

IT'S "EE-NA."
I TALKED TO HER ON THE PHONE.

OH, YEAH?
IS SHE NICE?

- YEAH, SHE SOUNDED AWESOME.
- SHE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TERRIFIC.

YOU'RE GOING HOME
'CAUSE YOU'RE A FIGHTER.

HMM?

'CAUSE YOU TOLD YOUR CANCER

THAT YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT
TILL THE END.

THAT'S WHY
YOU GET TO GO HOME.

THEY DIDN'T EXPECT YOU
TO LIVE FOR FOUR MORE MONTHS,

BUT YOU DID.

AND NOW YOU COULD BE
ONE OF THOSE STORIES

WHERE YOU LEAVE HOSPICE,

AND YOU LIVE
FOR YEARS AND GET CURED

AND BEAT THIS THING FOR GOOD.

YOU KNOW, HEALTHY PEOPLE,
THEY'VE REALLY--

THEY'VE GOT TO STOP
SAYING THINGS LIKE,

"SHE FOUGHT TO THE END,"

OR, "HE BATTLED CANCER,"

BECAUSE THEN WHEN THEY DIE,
YOU HAVE TO SAY...

"THEY LOST THEIR BATTLE
TO CANCER."

YOU'RE SAYING
THEY'RE A LOSER.

THEY'RE A LOSER
BECAUSE THEY DIED?

AND WHAT WERE THEIR CHOICES?

I JUST MEANT THAT--

DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT IF WE ALL LIVE FOREVER,

NO ONE WOULD EVER
HAVE BABIES.

THERE'D BE NO SPACE.

DYING'S NECESSARY.
IT'S IMPORTANT.

IT SUCKS.

SO, WHEN WE DO...

DON'T CRITICIZE US
ON THE WAY OUT.

JUST SAY...

"GOOD-BYE,"

AND, "THANK YOU,"

AND, "YOU'RE NOT A LOSER."

HERE ARE
YOUR MORPHINE PATCHES,

AND I BROUGHT
AN EXTRA BLANKET HERE,

IN CASE YOU WANT.

LORD, IT'S CHILLY HERE
FOR ME.

I GUESS THAT GLOBAL WARNING
HASN'T COME TO US

HERE IN MINNESOTA.
- IT'S "WARMING."

I BELIEVE WE WERE DISCUSSING
MY WIFE'S SCHEDULE.

OF COURSE.
RIGHT.

I'LL BE BY EVERY MORNING
TO CHECK ON YOU.

YOU CAN ALWAYS ADMINISTER
YOUR PAIN MEDS YOURSELF.

NOW, ARE YOU--ARE YOU
COMFORTABLE HERE, HON?

YEAH. THANK YOU.

HOW DO YOU SAY YOUR NAME?

OH. "EE-NA."
IT WAS MY GRANDMA'S NAME.

I HATED IT GROWING UP.

THEN I REALIZED
IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE.

I COULD'VE HAVE BEEN NAMED
AFTER MY OTHER GRANDMOTHER.

HER NAME WAS HORTENSE.

HORTENSE.

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?

YOU KNOW
WHAT I CAN'T IMAGINE?

IS GETTING THROUGH THIS
CHECKLIST IN THE NEXT HOUR.

PAUL.

MORPHINE PATCHES AS NEEDED.

EXPECT SOME WOOZINESS.

WOOZINESS I CAN HANDLE.

SHE MIGHT SEEM ALMOST DRUNK.

I WISH.

I HAD A PATIENT ONCE--

A REAL NICE
OLDER GENTLEMAN--

HE USED TO DRINK
A WHOLE BOTTLE OF GIN

EVERY MORNING.

HE CALLED IT HIS MEDICINE.

BY THE TIME I GOT THERE,

HE'D BE NAKED AND DANCING
TO HIS OLD BURL IVES RECORDS.

- DO YOU EVER STOP TALKING?
- PAUL.

I DON'T CARE
ABOUT DRUNKEN OLD MEN

AND GRANDMA INA.

both: "EE-NA."
- WHATEVER!

MY WIFE IS SICK.

CAN WE PLEASE JUST CUT
TO THE CHASE HERE?

YOU'LL BE FINE.

AND YOU HAVE MY NUMBER,
SO CALL ANYTIME.

AND I WILL SEE YOU
TONIGHT, CATHY.

THANK YOU, INA.

HOLY SHIT.
I WANT TO STRANGLE THAT WOMAN.

SHE'S KIND, PAUL.

SHE'S CHATTY AND KIND.
BE NICE.

OH, MY GOD, I'VE ALREADY
LOST HER NUMBER. FUCK.

PAUL.

I'M SORRY, HONEY.

I'M JUST FREAKED OUT

THAT I'M NOT GONNA BE ABLE
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU RIGHT.

AND, YOU KNOW, CHATTY FATTY--
SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING ANYWAY.

AND SO WHAT'S LEFT EXCEPT FOR ME
TO JUST SCREW SOMETHING UP?

I NEED YOUR HELP.

I NEED YOU TO GET MY DAD.

I WAS THINKING...

MAYBE I'M HANGING ON BECAUSE
I DON'T HAVE CLOSURE WITH HIM.

HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
I'M SICK.

HE DOESN'T RETURN MY CALLS.

I NEED YOU TO GET HIM
AND BRING HIM HERE.

BUT HE HATES ME.

YOU HATE INA.

AT LEAST IT GETS YOU
OUT OF THE HOUSE.

WHO DIED?

HEY, BUD.

BEEN A WHILE.
- SURE HAS.

LAST TIME I SAW YOU,
YOU ASKED ME FOR MONEY.

THAT WAS A LOAN, RIGHT?

IT WAS A WHILE AGO,
AND I PAID YOU BACK,

WITH INTEREST, REMEMBER?

YOU'VE GOTTEN HEFTY.

CAN I COME IN?

SO, WHAT'S THE OCCASION?
YOU NEED SOME MORE CASH?

WELL...

I'M ACTUALLY
PRETTY SUCCESSFUL NOW.

I'M A, UH,
MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER OF SORTS.

THAT SOUNDS GAY.

I'M GONNA GET
RIGHT TO THE POINT.

I NEED YOU TO COME BACK

TO MINNEAPOLIS WITH ME
TO SEE CATHY.

LAST TIME I SAW CATHY,
SHE SHOWED UP HERE

TO TELL ME
WHAT AN ASSHOLE I WAS.

YEAH.
LET BYGONES BE BYGONES, RIGHT?

AND NOW SHE KEEPS
LEAVING MESSAGES FOR ME

LIKE SHE'S GOT SOME MORE CRAP
SHE WANTS TO LAY ON ME.

NAH, I DON'T NEED TO SEE HER.

BUD, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT.

DISRESPECTING HER FATHER
LIKE THAT?

NO.
I'M DONE WITH HER.

SHE'S PRETTY MUCH DONE
WITH ALL OF US, BUD.

SHE'S DYING.

CATHY IS DYING,
AND SHE NEEDS TO SEE YOU,

AND YOU NEED TO SEE HER.

SHE WANTED TO TELL YOU
THAT HERSELF,

BUT OOPS, TOO LATE--
THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG.

- JESUS.
- YOU OWE THIS TO HER.

YOU' HER FATHER.
YOUR DAUGHTER IS DYING.

AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE YOU.

BUT I DO KNOW
IF YOU DON'T GO SEE HER,

IT'LL PROBABLY HAUNT YOU
THE REST OF YOUR LIFE,

WHICH, FOR SOME
VERY UNFAIR REASON,

IS GONNA BE
A LOT LONGER THAN HERS.

I GOT A CARD GAME TONIGHT.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME?

I'M GONNA GO OUTSIDE,

AND I'M GONNA WAIT IN MY CAR
UNTIL YOU DO THE RIGHT THING

AND GET YOUR ASSHOLE ASS
INTO THE SEAT NEXT TO ME.

HOW LONG
IS THIS GONNA TAKE?

ARE YOU DRUNK?

YEP.
I'M PLANNING TO STAY THAT WAY.

SO, THE SECRET
IS PLAIN OLD LARD.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE CRUST
SO CRISPY AND DELICIOUS.

THESE DAYS,
LARD IS A DIRTY WORD,

BUT I WON'T MAKE A PIE
WITHOUT IT.

I'M SORRY MY HUSBAND
WAS RUDE TO YOU, INA.

OH, HONEY,
DON'T YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT.

I'VE GOT THICK THIGHS
AND A THICK SKIN.

BESIDES, HE'S NOT WRONG.
I AM A BIG OLD CHATTERBOX.

- YOU'RE AN ANGEL.
- OH, NO.

I FEEL LUCKY EVERY DAY
TO HAVE A CHANCE

TO WORK WITH PEOPLE
LIKE YOU.

IT'S A BLESSING TO BE
AROUND THE DYING.

COME ON.

IT DOESN'T GET TO YOU--
ALL THE GLOOM AND DOOM?

MY HUSBAND AND I--
WE TRY TO SQUEEZE IN

A LITTLE FUN VACATION
NOW AND THEN,

BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN MUCH.

BUT IT'S OKAY.

I LIKE WHAT I DO.

WHEN PEOPLE ARE CLOSE
TO DEATH,

THEY OPEN UP LIKE FLOWERS.

THEY TEACH ME SO MUCH,

AND THAT I CAN PROVIDE
A LITTLE COMFORT,

WELL, IT SURE MAKES ME
FEEL GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, YOUNG LADY.

I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW.

INA?

YES?

WILL YOU MAKE ME A PIE?

I WOULD BE HONORED.

SPECIAL DELIVERY!

OH, DEAR.

IS HE--IS HE ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE. HOW ARE YOU?
- HE'S SOUSED.

HEY, I KNOW YOU.

HERE WE GO.

THERE.

- WHAT HAPPENED?
- I TOLD HIM.

I TOLD HIM YOU WERE SICK.

HE PISSED ME OFF,
AND I TOLD HIM.

I'M SORRY.

HE DRANK MOST
OF HIS LIQUOR CABINET

AND TWO ZIMAS
AT THE MINI MART

WHILE I WAS GASSING UP.

IT'S OKAY.

HI, DADDY!

HEY.
YOU'RE PRETTY.

WELL, YOU GOT HIM HERE.

YEAH.

"A NEW STUDY CONCLUDES

"THAT MOST AMERICANS
NOW BELIEVE

THAT GLOBAL WARMING
IS A REAL THING..."

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

"AND THAT PEOPLE
ARE CAUSING IT."

OKAY, I SAID
YOU COULD USE MY LAPTOP,

NOT READ OUT LOUD FROM IT.

I'M IN CRISIS MODE,
MY BOY.

I GOT TO SCHOOL MY KIDNEY
ON THE LEFTY WORLD

BEFORE IT ENDS UP EMBEDDED
IN A RIGHT-WING ASSHOLE.

I'VE ONLY GOT
ABOUT 12 HOURS LEFT.

THIS MORNING,
I READ A HANDBOOK

ON HOW TO MAKE
HEMP CLOTHING.

TONIGHT, IT'S A LITTLE
MOTHER JONES AND SOME YOGA.

IF I WERE THIS GUY,

I'D BE WORRIED THAT YOUR KIDNEY
WAS GONNA MAKE ME GO CRAZY.

YEAH, SO WHAT IF IT DID?

I'D BE DOING THAT GUY
A FAVOR.

HE'S AS DULL
AS A COMPOST HEAP.

YOU KNOW,
IF YOU EVER NEED TO TALK

ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOUR MOM--

NO, I'M GOOD.

OKAY.

HEY, UH, DO ME A FAVOR.

PULL MY ASS.

NO.

HE LOOKS SO SWEET.

ALL HIS WORRY LINES GO AWAY
WHEN HE'S SLEEPING.

YOU'D NEVER KNOW
HE'S SUCH A MOTHERFUCKER.

I NEVER SHOULD HAVE
ASKED HIM

FOR THAT LOAN TO BUY
THE HOUSE.

YOU PAID HIM BACK.

HE GETS TO HOLD IT
OVER MY HEAD FOREVER.

YOU KNOW,
"MY NO-GOOD SON-IN-LAW

COULDN'T EVEN AFFORD
TO BUY HIS FAMILY A DAMN HOUSE."

GOD, I FEEL LIKE PUNCHING HIM
IN HIS PASSED-OUT FACE.

PLUMBERS.

YOU KNOW, THIS IS
JUST SO LIKE HIM, YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S SICK.
HE GETS DRUNK.

SO HE GETS ALL THE ATTENTION.

I MEAN, COULDN'T HE PUT YOU
FIRST FOR ONCE?

WOULD IT KILL HIM?
- BEFORE IT KILLS ME?

I DOUBT IT.

IT'S LIKE THE FLOWERS
AT OUR WEDDING.

ALL YOU WANTED
WERE SOME PEONIES.

THAT'S ALL YOU WANTED.

HE GOT CARNATIONS...

'CAUSE THEY'RE CHEAPER,
AND HE WAS PAYING.

YOU DESERVED THE PEONIES.

BUT, HEY...

I GOT YOU...

THE MAN WHO MARRIED ME
DESPITE MY...

DRUNK, CHEAP,
NARCISSISTIC FATHER.

LOW BAR.

I'M SO PISSED...

THAT YOU'RE GOING.

OH.

I ALWAYS LOVED
YOUR HANDS.

EVEN WHEN I HATED YOUR GUTS,
I LOVED YOUR HANDS.

THEY STILL MAKE ME
FEEL SAFE.

YOU SHOULD BE PROUD
OF THESE HANDS.

THEY BUILT ME THAT PLAYHOUSE
IN THE BACKYARD.

REMEMBER THAT?

THE ONE THE RACCOON MOVED INTO
WHEN I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL?

GODDAMN RACCOONS--THEY ATE
ALL YOUR MOTHER'S BASIL.

THANK YOU FOR BUILDING
THAT HOUSE FOR ME.

SO, YOU'RE SICK.

YEAH.

I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL THE CRAP

I SAID TO YOU
THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU.

I WAS JUST--
I WAS SO ANGRY

ABOUT HOW YOU RAISED US
OR DIDN'T RAISE US.

BUT THE TRUTH IS...

YOU DID YOUR BEST, I THINK.

I KNOW YOU LOVED US.

I MEAN, I WISH YOU COULD'VE SAID
IT MORE, BUT I KNOW.

AND IN THE END,

YOU ONLY RAISE YOURSELF,
RIGHT?

AND I'M PRETTY HAPPY
WHERE I ENDED UP.

I HAVE A WONDERFUL SON.

YOU HAVEN'T SEE HIM
SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE BOY.

AND GOD KNOWS I HAVEN'T BEEN
THE PERFECT PARENT,

BUT I TRY.

I TRY AND TEACH HIM SOME
OF THE THINGS YOU TAUGHT ME...

AND A LOT OF THE THINGS
YOU DIDN'T.

BUT, YEAH, I GOT TO BE HERE
AND TRY IT OUT.

SO, THANK YOU...

YOU KNOW...

FOR GIVING ME LIFE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

I LOVE YOU, DAD.

WHY ARE YOU BEING
SO NICE TO ME?

'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
LEFT TO LOSE.

YOU ALWAYS HAD
THE BLUEST EYES,

JUST LIKE YOUR MOM.

I REMEMBER THE DAY WE BROUGHT
YOU HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL.

AND I HIRED
THIS FANCY PHOTOGRAPHER,

YOU KNOW,
TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS.

THAT'S WHAT
WE DID IN THOSE DAYS.

WE TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS, OKAY?

NOT THON CELL PHONES.Y HAVE

SO, ANYWAY, HE WAS THERE.

AND, OF COURSE,
YOU WERE SOUND ASLEEP.

AND YOUR MOM WOULDN'T
LET ME WAKE YOU UP.

SO, RIGHT AFTER THE GUY GOES,
YOU WAKE UP.

THOSE BIG BEAUTIFUL EYES.

I CHASED THE GUY
DOWN THE STREET TWO BLOCKS

AND DRAGGED HIM BACK...

BECAUSE HE NEEDED
TO GET YOUR EYES.

YOU WERE LIKE
THIS LITTLE ANGEL.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
EVERYTHING.

EXCEPT PEONIES
FOR MY WEDDING.

OH, COME ON, WHO PAYS
THAT KIND OF MONEY FOR FLOWERS?

WHAT?
IT WAS JUST $400 MORE.

YEAH, $400.

I WAS GETTING MARRIED.

IT SHOULDN'T BE YOU
CHECKING OUT.

IT SHOULD BE ME.

- UNCLE SEAN, WAKE UP.
- MM.

- OPERATION DAY.
- OH, GOD.

WHOA.

OH, I WAS HAVING
THE MOST AMAZING DREAM.

I WAS--I WAS FROLICKING
IN THE SURF

WITH A NAKED GLORIA STEINEM.

OH.

YOU KNOW,
I THINK THIS KIDNEY

MIGHT BE JUST RUN
OUT OF THAT OPERATING ROOM

AND JOIN A COMMUNE.

WHO'S GLORIA STEINEM?

LET'S GO.

OH.

BOOM--I'M TELLING YOU,
RIGHT THROUGH THE PUMP.

HE DROPS LIKE A STONE.

HE'S GONNA DRESS OUT
AT 180 POUNDS.

I'LL FILL UP YOUR FRIDGE.
- GOOD MORNING.

HOLY SHIT.
HE ACTUALLY CAME.

- WE'RE HAVING BREAKFAST.
- YEAH, I CAN'T EAT.

I'M HAVING AN OPERATION
IN FOUR HOURS,

SO, UH,
NO FOOD, NO LIQUIDS.

AH, THEY'RE GONNA FIX
YOUR BRAIN?

DAD, HE'S GIVING AWAY
HIS KIDNEY.

TO A TOTAL STRANGER.

WELL, NOW, THAT'S CRAZY.

SAYS THE MAN WHO ONLY SLEPT
IN ARMY-ISSUE PAJAMAS.

THEY'RE MARINE CORPS-ISSUE
SKIVVIES--

THAT'S SHORTS,
FOR YOU CIVILIANS.

I'M A VETERAN.

- HEY.
- HEY.

YEAH, I KNOW ADAM.
LOOK AT THE--COME HERE.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THIS GUY.

YOU'RE BIG LIKE ME, HUH?

HEY, YOU PROBABLY
WOULDN'T REMEMBER THIS--

YOU CAUGHT FIRST TROUT
WITH ME.

YOU WERE THIS BIG.

THIS FISH ALMOST YANKED YOU
RIGHT OUT OF THE DINGHY.

- I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT. YEAH.
- DO YOU, REALLY?

LISTEN, YOU OUGHT TO COME
FISHING THIS SUMMER.

COME ON UP.
- YOU SHOULD.

- I'D LOVE TO.
- GREAT. GREAT.

BRING YOUR COLORED FRIEND
WITH YOU.

all: WHOA!
- OH, LOVELY.

IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.

I'D LOVE TO, MR. TOLKE.
- THERE YOU GO.

ADAM, SET THE TABLE.

WE'RE HAVING MY FAVORITE--
GRITS AND EGGS.

I CAN'T.
I HAVE TO GO.

WHERE?

I'M GOING TO PLAY BASKETBALL
WITH SOME BUDDIES OF MINE.

DUDE.

ADAM,
THE WHOLE FAMILY IS HERE.

ANDREA LEAVES TOMORROW
FOR NEW YORK.

WE'RE ALL TOGETHER.
STAY.

I CAN'T.
THEY'RE, UH, WAITING FOR ME.

- ADAM.
- MOM, I'M SORRY, OKAY?

I GOT TO GO.

SORRY.

HE JUST KEEPS RUSHING OFF.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S--

TIME TO EAT.

OR NOT.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT?

THAT TIME DAD FORGOT US
AT THE RACETRACK?

I REMEMBERED.
I CAME BACK, DIDN'T I?

LAST WORDS.

THAT'S SICK.

WELL, IT'S IMPORTANT.

THEY CAN SUM UP
A WHOLE LIFE PERFECTLY.

AND THE GOOD ONES
GET RECORDED FOR HISTORY.

YOU KNOW WHAT
ELIZABETH I SAID?

"ALL MY POSSESSIONS
FOR A MOMENT OF TIME."

HOW LOVELY IS THAT?

AND GEORGE HARRISON SAID,
"LOVE ONE ANOTHER."

OH, SOMEONE'S BEEN DOING
SOME RESEARCH.

AND STEVE JOBS SAID,
"OH, WOW...

OH, WOW,"

LIKE HE'D SEEN
SOMETHING MAGICAL.

HIS CHECKING ACCOUNT.

GOOD ONE.

THANK YOU, BUD.

I AM IN NEED
OF LAST WORDS.

I AM SOLICITING OPINIONS.

WELL, YOU DO KNOW
YOU HAVE TO DIE

RIGHT AFTER YOU SAY THEM,

OR THEY'RE OTHERWISE
NOT TECHNICALLY

YOUR LAST WORDS.

OR I JUST--
I REPEAT THEM A LOT,

AND I HOPE FOR THE BEST.

HOW ABOUT,
"DON'T GRIEVE FOR ME.

"MY ART REMAINS,
LIKE A DART

FROM THE SPEAKER
TO YOUR HEART"?

IT'S JAY-Z.

FINE.
I'LL KEEP IT FOR MYSELF.

MINE WOULD BE,
"HEY, I GOT A BIG ONE."

I'M TALKING ABOUT FISHING.

I GOT A BIG ONE ON THE LINE
JUST BEFORE I DIE.

THAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY,
ANYWAY.

IF I DIED RIGHT NOW,
MY LAST WORDS WOULD BE,

"I'M STARVING."

IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HAVE
MY WHOLE FAMILY HERE.

LUCKY ME.

EVERYONE EXCEPT
OUR DEADBEAT SON.

MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE
MY LINE...

"LUCKY ME."

NOPE. TOO SOON.

ADAM?

HE WENT UPSTAIRS.

I WANTED US TO SPEAK
PRIVATELY FIRST.

OH, GOD.
OH, GOD.

DID ADAM FINALLY FLUNK
OUT OF SCHOOL?

I TRIED EVERYTHING.

CATHY, AS YOU KNOW,
IN THREE WEEKS,

ADAM'S CLASS BECOMES SENIORS.

HE WON'T BE JOINING THEM.

OH. HE DIDN'T FAIL.
I FAILED.

HONEY,
IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.

CONNIE,
THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING

THAT WE COULD DO
ABOUT THIS, RIGHT?

MAYBE--I DON'T KNOW--
SOME TESTING

OR SOME SUMMER SCHOOL,
A LITTLE BIT OF TUTORING MAYBE?

MR. JAMISON,
HE DID ALL THAT ALREADY.

IN FACT, HE DID MUCH MORE
THAN THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN HE SLEPT,

BUT HE MANAGED TO ACQUIRE

A YEAR'S WORTH
OF HIGH-SCHOOL CREDITS

ONLINE IN A FEW MONTHS,

WHICH I REVIEWED,
SIGNED OFF ON,

WHICH IS WHY...

- OH, SHIT.
- OH, MY GOD, BUDDY.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

HONORED GUESTS,
PROUD PARENTS,

IT IS WITH THE GREATEST
OF PLEASURE AND RELIEF

THAT I PRESENT THIS DIPLOMA
OF COMPLETION TODAY

TO ADAM JAMISON.

CONGRATULATIONS!

ADAM! WHOO!

MOM, I KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU WANTED TO SEE ME GRADUATE.

I'M GONNA LET YOU FOLKS
CELEBRATE IN PEACE.

I HAVE A TRUANT
I NEED TO CHECK ON.

IF ONLY EVERY HOME VISIT
WERE THIS FUN.

OH, DUDE,
THIS IS AWESOME!

- THANK YOU.
- I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

THANKS, DAD.

- CONGRATULATIONS.
- THANK YOU.

WHAT HE SAID, DUDE,
BUT WITH REAL FEELING.

LOOK, I'M SORRY
I MISSED BREAKFAST, MOM.

I HAD TO GET
MY CAP AND GOWN.

OH...

OH, SWEETIE.

THAT'S OKAY.

MOM, DON'T CRY.

I GOT TO SEE YOU GRADUATE.

LUCKY ME.

OH, LUCKY ME.

AND STILL TOO SOON.

I'M VERY HAPPY
I WAS ALIVE

FOR THIS BREAKFAST.

- ME TOO.
- OKAY.

I AM TAKING ONE TOLKE
TO THE HOSPITAL

AND THE OTHER
TO THE BUS STATION.

OH, DAD.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.
THANK YOU.

I'M GONNA DRIVE DOWN
NEXT WEEKEND TO SEE YOU, OKAY?

I'LL BRING SOME
OF THAT MEDICINE WITH ME.

I GOT PLENTY.
- OH.

I WOULD LOVE THAT.

PLEASE DO IT SOBER.

OKAY.

PROMISE.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, OKAY?

MM-HMM.

NEXT WEEK.

ADAM WILL BE WITH YOU
THE WHOLE TIME IN THE HOSPITAL.

YOU'LL DO GREAT.

UNLESS I DIE
ON THE TABLE.

SAY SOMETHING FAST SO THOSE
AREN'T YOUR LAST WORDS.

OH...
GLORIA STEINEM'S TITS.

YOU FREAK.

TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE.

- I LOVE YOU, SEAN.
- BACK AT YOU.

ANDREA, I DON'T WANT
YOU DOING THE DISHES.

INA WILL BE HERE.
AND SHE CAN HELP.

BESIDES, YOU HAVE TO GO PACK.

ACTUALLY,
I DECIDED AGAINST NEW YORK.

WHAT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, I JUST FIGURED
YOU GUYS

COULD USE MY HELP
AROUND HERE FOR THE SUMMER.

NEW YORK WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.

WHEN I TOLD ISAAC,

HE THREW A BOX OF BUTTONS
ACROSS THE FLOOR.

HE'LL GET OVER IT.

ANDREA...

YOU ARE NOT GIVING UP
THAT INTERNSHIP.

YOU GO.
YOU GO RIGHT NOW.

YOU TELL MR. MIZRAHI
YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND.

I WANT TO BE HERE WITH YOU.

ANDREA...

YOU...

YOU TOLD ME

I HAD TO FIGHT
FOR MY LIFE.

AND THAT'S
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

I WILL NOT LET YOU GIVE UP

THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR ME.

MM-MM.
YOU ARE GOING PLACES.

SO AM I.

BUT THEY'RE
IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.

I WILL NOT LET YOU GO
WHERE I'M GOING.

BUT WHAT IF YOU--

YOU MEAN WHAT IF I DIE
WHEN YOU'RE THERE?

MOST LIKELY I WILL.

THEN LET ME DIE
IMAGINING YOU

WRAPPED IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
SPARKLY FABRIC

WALKING DOWN BROADWAY
WITH YOUR FRIENDS SMILING.

THAT IS HOW I WANT
TO THINK OF YOU.

SO...

YOU GO.
YOU FIND HIM.

YOU BEG
FOR THAT INTERNSHIP BACK.

OKAY.

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE
TO SAY NOW, DON'T YOU?

PLEASE DON'T SAY IT.

WE'LL SAY IT TOGETHER.

OKAY.

both: LUCKY ME.

SEAN--

IF YOU PULL A GODDAMN ROLEX
OUT OF YOUR ASS,

I'M GETTING OFF THIS GURNEY.

HI, PRETTY.
HOW YOU FEELING?

GOOD.
TIRED.

I MADE YOU A PIE.

IT'S STRAWBERRY RHUBARB
MADE FROM MY OWN RHUBARB.

STUFF GROWS LIKE WEEDS
OUT BACK.

INA, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

I HAVE SOMETHING
I WANT TO GIVE TO YOU.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE
A LITTLE WEEKEND VACATION.

GET AWAY FROM ALL THIS.

YOU DESERVE IT.

TAKE YOUR HUSBAND
TO A LAKE.

SWIM, LAUGH, OKAY?

PLEASE.

MY BROTHER...

MY BROTHER IS GIVING SOMEONE
A KIDNEY RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS THE LEAST
I CAN DO.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL TAKE IT,

BUT ONLY
IF YOU HAVE SOME PIE.

GO GET TWO FORKS.

OKAY.

HMM.

EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PEONIES?

YES, WE DO.

COULD I JUST GET
A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM?

THE BEST ONES YOU HAVE?

SOMEONE'S A LUCKY LADY.

HELLO?

OH, PAUL,
THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL.

I'M SORRY, PAUL.

SHE PASSED
ABOUT 30 MINUTES AGO.

PROBABLY AN ANEURYSM.

SHE WASN'T IN ANY PAIN.
