1. Edward Perriman Cole died in May.Copy !req
2. It was a Sunday afternoon, and
there wasn't a cloud in the sky.Copy !req
3. It's difficult to understand
the sum of a person's life.Copy !req
4. Some people will tell you it's
measured by the ones left behind.Copy !req
5. Some believe it can be measured in faith.Copy !req
6. Some say by love.Copy !req
7. Other folks say life has no meaning at all.Copy !req
8. Me?Copy !req
9. I believe that you measure yourself...Copy !req
10. by the people who
measured themselves by you.Copy !req
11. What I can tell you for sure
is that, by any measure...Copy !req
12. Edward Cole lived more in
his last days on Earth...Copy !req
13. than most people manage
to wring out of a lifetime.Copy !req
14. I know that when he died,
his eyes were closed...Copy !req
15. and his heart was open.Copy !req
16. "Name the five presidents whose
last names begin with the letter H."Copy !req
17. H?Copy !req
18. Warren G. Harding,
Rutherford B. Hayes, Herbert Hoover...Copy !req
19. and the two Harrisons,
Benjamin and William Henry.Copy !req
20. Ah.Copy !req
21. Thought I'd get you with
the double Harrisons.Copy !req
22. Ha-ha-ha.
- You're sick, you know?Copy !req
23. You think that's sick, can
you name their wives?Copy !req
24. - No.
- Neither can I.Copy !req
25. - Yo, Cartey-car!
- Yo!Copy !req
26. - When they need the Camaro, man?
- Yesterday.Copy !req
27. Huh?Copy !req
28. - All right, I got one for you.
- All right.Copy !req
29. Who invented the radio?Copy !req
30. Ah.Copy !req
31. That's a hard one.Copy !req
32. - What do you know, I finally got you.
- No.Copy !req
33. I don't know if you want who
they think invented the radio...Copy !req
34. or the person who
actually invented the radio.Copy !req
35. Well, in here it says—Copy !req
36. Marconi, right?Copy !req
37. Yeah, it ain't him?Copy !req
38. He's the one they generally
think invented the radio.Copy !req
39. In fact, he got a Nobel
Prize for it in 1909.Copy !req
40. Truth is a guy named Nikola Tesla...Copy !req
41. patented the basic idea
for the radio in 1896.Copy !req
42. Same idea Marconi used for his
patent several years later.Copy !req
43. Tesla fought Marconi till
the day he died in 1943.Copy !req
44. Same year the Supreme Court ruled...Copy !req
45. that Marconi's patent was invalid...Copy !req
46. recognizing Tesla as the
inventor of the radio.Copy !req
47. Carter.Copy !req
48. You really are sick.Copy !req
49. Oh, hi, Ginnie.Copy !req
50. Well, good. About time.
What did they say?Copy !req
51. All right, what does that mean?Copy !req
52. Kopi Luwak.
The rarest beverage in the world.Copy !req
53. Take a whiff.Copy !req
54. Go ahead.Copy !req
55. Uh, Mr. Cole, the board is
ready to hear your proposal.Copy !req
56. Hold on just a second.Copy !req
57. Go ahead. Go on.Copy !req
58. Well?Copy !req
59. Really good.Copy !req
60. Really good.Copy !req
61. Mr. Cole. Sir?Copy !req
62. Do you know what a Philistine is, Jim?Copy !req
63. Sir, it's Richard.Copy !req
64. That's right, Phil.
Give them the spiel.Copy !req
65. Thank you, Mr. Chairman,
fellow supervisors.Copy !req
66. We at the Cole Group feel the
decline of the Winwood Hospital...Copy !req
67. is a direct result of
significant fiscal mismanagement.Copy !req
68. - I beg your pardon, this hospital—
- Overhead costs are nearly double.Copy !req
69. Your lease and land costs
were similarly overbid.Copy !req
70. Donations have atrophied to the point
you've fallen far behind the curve...Copy !req
71. in Research, Pediatrics,
Oncology and MRI.Copy !req
72. The Cole Group has privatized 15Copy !req
73. public
hospitals in seven years...Copy !req
74. each of which now provides,Copy !req
75. or will soon provide...Copy !req
76. the highest standard of medical
care to their communities.Copy !req
77. - Despite being grossly understaffed?
- The better the doctor, the need—Copy !req
78. What about beds?Copy !req
79. There are rumors...Copy !req
80. you
increased the number of patientsCopy !req
81. to the point of overpopulation.Copy !req
82. Patient density has always been—Copy !req
83. And your emergency rooms,
I mean, they are known—Copy !req
84. I run hospitals, not health spas.Copy !req
85. Two beds to a room, no exceptions.Copy !req
86. Look, I passed up a lunch with
Michelle Pfeiffer to be here...Copy !req
87. so can we desistCopy !req
88. from all
of this inane posturing?Copy !req
89. Boys and girls, you need me.Copy !req
90. I do not need you.Copy !req
91. Now, there's a sizeable
check in this envelope...Copy !req
92. let me know if you decide to cash it.Copy !req
93. Mr. Cole, are you all right?Copy !req
94. What are you doing here?Copy !req
95. Oh, you know, fighting for my life. You?Copy !req
96. Uh, no, I was just surprised—Copy !req
97. and I don't care about the insurance!Copy !req
98. And tell Dr. Shit-for-Brains...Copy !req
99. I wanna know everything about this
bleomycin drip he wants to get me on.Copy !req
100. I hear it eats your lungs.Copy !req
101. When I address Congress next month...Copy !req
102. I don't want to do it breathing
through a hole in my throat.Copy !req
103. - That's not exactly what happens.
- Who the hell is this guy?Copy !req
104. - Where's Thomas? Tom!
- In plain view, sir.Copy !req
105. - Hi, Tom.
- We're gonna move you into the bed.Copy !req
106. I can do it myself. I ain't dead yet.Copy !req
107. How about now?Copy !req
108. Have I fired you lately?Copy !req
109. Not since the Oprah incident.Copy !req
110. - That was a good one. Ha-ha-ha.
- Yeah, it's good stuff.Copy !req
111. Who the hell is that?Copy !req
112. Who the hell are you?Copy !req
113. He said, "Who the hell—?"Copy !req
114. Oh, God. What am I, in the morgue?Copy !req
115. That was the first time
I laid eyes on Edward Cole.Copy !req
116. An inauspicious beginning, to be sure.Copy !req
117. Oh, spare me. Sweet Jesus.Copy !req
118. I hate these— I hate tubes!Copy !req
119. I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend the
next three weeks laying next to this guy.Copy !req
120. Zombie boy. Looks half-dead already.Copy !req
121. You can't have your own room.
It would create an enormous PR problem.Copy !req
122. I don't give a shit about PR.Copy !req
123. I want my own room.
It's my hospital, for chrissake.Copy !req
124. Don't tell me I can't have my own room.Copy !req
125. No offense, pal.Copy !req
126. You have publicly defended
this policy countless times.Copy !req
127. You run hospitals, not health spas.
Two beds to a room, no exceptions.Copy !req
128. I've never been sick before.Copy !req
129. Okay, Dr. Eldridge will be in in
a minute to dot you up, okay?Copy !req
130. Dot me up.Copy !req
131. Jesus.Copy !req
132. Thomas...Copy !req
133. don't let me wake up paralyzed.Copy !req
134. I'll do what I can.Copy !req
135. This really your hospital?Copy !req
136. Yeah, pretty much.Copy !req
137. Might wanna do something
about the pea soup.Copy !req
138. By the morning of the surgery...Copy !req
139. the cancer had spread so far
throughout Edward's body...Copy !req
140. that the doctors gave him only
a 5 percent chance to survive...Copy !req
141. but then, they didn't account for
how pissed off they'd made him.Copy !req
142. Mm...Copy !req
143. No visitors come in to see him?Copy !req
144. He's been sleeping a lot
since they brought him back.Copy !req
145. Mm.Copy !req
146. That's another reason
I don't miss nursing.Copy !req
147. It's always so sad seeing a
patient like that, all alone...Copy !req
148. after that kind of surgery.Copy !req
149. At least he's quiet.Copy !req
150. Day after day, out
of sight, and almost out of...Copy !req
151. Rachel called this morning.Copy !req
152. Really? How's she doing?Copy !req
153. She's auditioning for first violin
in next semester's symphony.Copy !req
154. That's wonderful.Copy !req
155. Need any more books?Copy !req
156. No, I'm... I'm fine.Copy !req
157. Got your meds for the night?Copy !req
158. Mm-hm. I already took them.Copy !req
159. How about pillows?Copy !req
160. I'm fine, Virginia, really. Thank you.Copy !req
161. You know, I could stay a
while if you want me to.Copy !req
162. No use both of us being useless
in the morning, right?Copy !req
163. Okay.Copy !req
164. She gone?Copy !req
165. What?Copy !req
166. As something of a public health expert...Copy !req
167. I believe more people
die from visitors...Copy !req
168. than diseases.Copy !req
169. "It's the
Berries, " for 600.Copy !req
170. This Swedish berry
is also known as the cowberry.Copy !req
171. - What is a lingonberry?
- Uh, what is a lingonberry?Copy !req
172. - Correct!
- "It's the Berries, " for 800.Copy !req
173. In a Top 40 hit of 1956, this
"Berry" told Beethoven to roll over.Copy !req
174. Who is Chuck Berry?Copy !req
175. - Who is Chuck Berry?
- Yes.Copy !req
176. Hey.Copy !req
177. Duke?Copy !req
178. You mind?Copy !req
179. Oh. Sorry. No.Copy !req
180. - What is the Mariana Trench?
- What is the Mariana Trench?Copy !req
181. Good morning, Edward.Copy !req
182. - Morning.
- How you feeling?Copy !req
183. Dumb question.Copy !req
184. How's that catheter?Copy !req
185. Don't know how I ever did without it.Copy !req
186. Ah, humor is a good sign.Copy !req
187. Kiss my ass.Copy !req
188. As is surliness.
It's one of your favorite flavors, right?Copy !req
189. - Yeah.
- Let's see what we got here.Copy !req
190. It looks good.Copy !req
191. All right, so the operation
went well, okay?Copy !req
192. All the post-op brain scans are clean.Copy !req
193. Now we go after the sarcoma
in the rest of your body.Copy !req
194. Now, unfortunately, your blood
markers are extremely high...Copy !req
195. so I would like to
begin chemo this morning.Copy !req
196. Love the smell of chemo in the morning.Copy !req
197. Apocalypse Now, right?Copy !req
198. Makes me feel like victory!Copy !req
199. - I'll check in with you later.
- All right.Copy !req
200. Say, doc? Doc?Copy !req
201. You think you could just take a look at—?Copy !req
202. - Sorry, I'm late. Who's your doctor?
- He's Dr. Gibian.Copy !req
203. I'll let the nurse know.Copy !req
204. Appreciate it.Copy !req
205. Bitch, ain't it?Copy !req
206. - What are quarks?
- What are quarks?Copy !req
207. - How long you been here?
- Oh.Copy !req
208. In and out over the past few months.
Got me on an experimental treatment.Copy !req
209. - What is the quadratic equation?
- What is the quadratic equation?Copy !req
210. How rough is it?Copy !req
211. Chemo?Copy !req
212. Not too bad.Copy !req
213. If you don't mind
around-the-clock vomiting...Copy !req
214. watching your veins turn black...Copy !req
215. and feeling like your
bones are made of napalm...Copy !req
216. it's a day at the beach.Copy !req
217. That's a relief.Copy !req
218. Of course, I hear people
react to it differently.Copy !req
219. You'll know by tonight.Copy !req
220. Tonight?Copy !req
221. Listen, um...Copy !req
222. you don't mind my asking...Copy !req
223. what is that contraption
you got over there?Copy !req
224. It's a siphon. Makes coffee.Copy !req
225. What else does it do?Copy !req
226. What else does it have to do?Copy !req
227. Did you know that coffee was originally
discovered by a shepherd in Ethiopia?Copy !req
228. - You don't say.
- It's true.Copy !req
229. Seems his goats were eating
berries from an unfamiliar bush.Copy !req
230. Before long, they were running
and jumping all over...Copy !req
231. having a gay old time.Copy !req
232. So the shepherd took some of the
branches to the local monastery...Copy !req
233. where the abbots decided to roast them.Copy !req
234. When the berries burned...Copy !req
235. the beans inside gave off
such a pleasant aroma...Copy !req
236. they brewed them into a stew.Copy !req
237. Stew, huh?Copy !req
238. And over the next few hundred years,
it spread to Arabia, Europe...Copy !req
239. even Sumatra,
like that hooch you got over there.Copy !req
240. It's called Kopi Luwak.Copy !req
241. I know what it's called.Copy !req
242. You do?Copy !req
243. Never catch me drinking that shit.Copy !req
244. Have you ever tried it?Copy !req
245. No. I'm more of a instant-coffee man.Copy !req
246. Here, here we are.Copy !req
247. - Thanks.
- No problem.Copy !req
248. There you are.Copy !req
249. You always had those freckles?Copy !req
250. Far as I know.Copy !req
251. Nice...Copy !req
252. freckles.Copy !req
253. Hmm.Copy !req
254. Okay, we got prosciutto and
melons, some burrata mozzarella...Copy !req
255. and a veal paillard.Copy !req
256. The folks at Toscana send their best.Copy !req
257. You sure you wanna eat all that?Copy !req
258. That's the plan.Copy !req
259. What?Copy !req
260. Oh, Uh...Copy !req
261. You want Thomas to make you a plate?Copy !req
262. Tommy, uh, fix a plate for, uh...Copy !req
263. Carter.Copy !req
264. First name or last?Copy !req
265. First.Copy !req
266. Really? Interesting.Copy !req
267. So you want, uh—?
Might cheer you up.Copy !req
268. No, thanks, I'll pass.Copy !req
269. You sure?Copy !req
270. Mm, yum, yum.Copy !req
271. Mm-mm.Copy !req
272. Best in L.A.Copy !req
273. It ain't the best in L.A. no more.Copy !req
274. Oh, man.Copy !req
275. Maya made the honor roll again.Copy !req
276. Bet your ass she did.Copy !req
277. My God.Copy !req
278. Somewhere, some lucky guy's
having a heart attack.Copy !req
279. Fellas.Copy !req
280. Mr. Cole.Copy !req
281. Don't pay any attention to me.
I'm just, uh, talking to myself.Copy !req
282. It's from Kai.Copy !req
283. Says he wants to be a mechanic
like his granddad when he grows up.Copy !req
284. I hope you talked him out of that.Copy !req
285. Well, I tried.Copy !req
286. What do we got here?Copy !req
287. It's a Shelby 350.Copy !req
288. - I always wanted one of those.
- Yeah.Copy !req
289. - Kai remembered.
- Hmm.Copy !req
290. Um...Copy !req
291. Mom seems to think you're
not getting enough rest.Copy !req
292. Mm-hm.Copy !req
293. She loves you, Pop.Copy !req
294. Mm-hm.Copy !req
295. Okay.Copy !req
296. You'll, uh, call us when you
get your test results, huh?Copy !req
297. Mm-hm.Copy !req
298. If that day ever comes.Copy !req
299. Okay.Copy !req
300. - Take care.
- Okay.Copy !req
301. He your oldest?Copy !req
302. Yeah.Copy !req
303. What's he do?Copy !req
304. - Roger's a tax attorney.
- Oh.Copy !req
305. Here.Copy !req
306. His brother, Lee, is an engineer.Copy !req
307. Who's the pretty little lady?Copy !req
308. That's Rachel. Youngest of the three.Copy !req
309. Big age difference.Copy !req
310. Yeah, well, she was a surprise.Copy !req
311. We'd hardly gotten the boys out
of the house when she came along.Copy !req
312. She's an outstanding violinist.Copy !req
313. You got kids?Copy !req
314. Depends.Copy !req
315. - Never stayed married long enough.
- Oh, well...Copy !req
316. don't worry, I've been married
long enough for the both of us.Copy !req
317. How's that going?Copy !req
318. It's going.Copy !req
319. That good, huh?Copy !req
320. Well, that's why they invented
light switches.Copy !req
321. Don't get me wrong, I loved being
married, been there four times.Copy !req
322. Problem is I love being single too.Copy !req
323. Hard to do them both at the same time.Copy !req
324. Well, nobody's perfect.Copy !req
325. Only successful marriage I
had was me and my work.Copy !req
326. I started making money when I was 16...Copy !req
327. and that was that.Copy !req
328. Never stopped.Copy !req
329. I'll be damned.Copy !req
330. I wanted to be a history professor.Copy !req
331. Nobody's perfect.Copy !req
332. I made it through two
months of City College...Copy !req
333. before Virginia gave me the news.Copy !req
334. And then, you know...Copy !req
335. young, black, broke, baby on the way...Copy !req
336. Take the first decent job that comes along.Copy !req
337. I always meant to go back...Copy !req
338. but 45 years goes by pretty fast.Copy !req
339. Like smoke through a keyhole.Copy !req
340. Shit!Copy !req
341. Don't give me the morphine while
I'm sleeping. It's a waste.Copy !req
342. Maybe she's trying to kill us both.
You ever think of that?Copy !req
343. Gin.Copy !req
344. What are you, the devil?Copy !req
345. What if I lost my mind already?Copy !req
346. Jesus, no.Copy !req
347. No. No, no Jesus, this is not praying.Copy !req
348. I'm talking to myself out loud, that's...Copy !req
349. You ever think about suicide?Copy !req
350. - Suicide? Me?
- Yeah.Copy !req
351. Lord, no.Copy !req
352. Thought so. Stage one.Copy !req
353. What?Copy !req
354. The five stages, but...Copy !req
355. Denial.Copy !req
356. Then anger, bargaining,
depression, acceptance.Copy !req
357. So of course you're not
thinking of suicide.Copy !req
358. You're in stage one. Denial.Copy !req
359. What stage are you in?Copy !req
360. Denial.Copy !req
361. And thinking about suicide.Copy !req
362. Yeah, okay. It's just a frame of...Copy !req
363. Well, it looks like you won't
be needing this anymore.Copy !req
364. - That's it?
- Yep, fourth and final.Copy !req
365. What's next?Copy !req
366. They have to run all the tests
first, see where we stand.Copy !req
367. - Well, how long?
- Takes a while.Copy !req
368. I'll get Dr. Gibian to
schedule them when I see him.Copy !req
369. Thanks.Copy !req
370. I'm on for another hour, anything you need?Copy !req
371. Clean bill of health if you got one.Copy !req
372. Hang in there, Carter.Copy !req
373. That's what I do.Copy !req
374. And line to center, base hit...Copy !req
375. Kent will have to play
it on three bounces...Copy !req
376. and Alou will score.
The throw goes to the back...Copy !req
377. Hit the cutoff man, for crying out loud.Copy !req
378. You see...Copy !req
379. that's the problem with the game today:Copy !req
380. No fundamentals.Copy !req
381. Did you ever read
The Time of Your Life?Copy !req
382. - William Saroyan.
- Yeah.Copy !req
383. "No foundation.
All the way down the line."Copy !req
384. When we were growing up—
What are you doing?Copy !req
385. Nothing, scribbling.Copy !req
386. Scribbling? What?Copy !req
387. Nothing. Just scribbling.Copy !req
388. Oh, sure, that's what you wanna do...Copy !req
389. bounce a slider with a man on third.Copy !req
390. These kids today, they—Copy !req
391. Earphones.
I'm talking to myself, again.Copy !req
392. - Edward?
- Doc.Copy !req
393. How's it going there?Copy !req
394. Dumb question.Copy !req
395. I got the test back.Copy !req
396. I'll just lay it out, huh?Copy !req
397. Six months.Copy !req
398. A year if we're lucky.Copy !req
399. There is an experimental program
that we've been conducting...Copy !req
400. and I don't wanna get your hopes up...Copy !req
401. but I think you would be
an excellent candidate—Copy !req
402. Hey, doc.Copy !req
403. Yes?Copy !req
404. You're blocking my view.Copy !req
405. Oh.Copy !req
406. Sorry.Copy !req
407. Anyway, if there's any questions...Copy !req
408. day or night, you know where to find me.Copy !req
409. One question.Copy !req
410. Sure, of course.Copy !req
411. Carter, you wanna ask
Dr. Hollins something?Copy !req
412. I mean, I'm not familiar
with Mr. Chambers'--Copy !req
413. Well, get familiar.Copy !req
414. Uh...Copy !req
415. I just wanted to know how
I stand, that's all.Copy !req
416. Sure. How about I'll go take
a look at your chart, okay?Copy !req
417. Thank you.Copy !req
418. Edward?Copy !req
419. Edward?Copy !req
420. There was a survey once.Copy !req
421. A thousand people were asked, if
they could know in advance...Copy !req
422. would they want to know the
exact day of their death.Copy !req
423. Ninety-six percent of them said no.Copy !req
424. I always kind of leaned
toward the other 4 percent.Copy !req
425. I thought it would be liberating...Copy !req
426. knowing how much time
you had left to work with.Copy !req
427. A year at best.Copy !req
428. It turns out, it's not.Copy !req
429. We're pretty much out of options.Copy !req
430. You want to play cards?Copy !req
431. Thought you'd never ask.Copy !req
432. Rise and shine.Copy !req
433. Or that.Copy !req
434. Let me see that.Copy !req
435. And, uh, Thomas...Copy !req
436. call Marie at Christie's.Copy !req
437. Tell her I won't be bidding this season.Copy !req
438. I understand.Copy !req
439. Uh, sir,
I don't mean to sound indelicate...Copy !req
440. but how do you want
me to handle your...?Copy !req
441. Death?Copy !req
442. Treat it as if it were your own.Copy !req
443. So leave all the money to my assistant?Copy !req
444. Go get me one of those almond
croissants that I like.Copy !req
445. And don't buy any green bananas.Copy !req
446. - What are you doing?
- What is this?Copy !req
447. - Come on, give it back.
- What is it?Copy !req
448. Give it back.Copy !req
449. It was on the floor.
I didn't know it was a state secret.Copy !req
450. Well, my freshman philosophy professor...Copy !req
451. assigned this exercise
in forward thinking.Copy !req
452. He called it a "Bucket List."Copy !req
453. We were supposed to make a list of
things we wanted to do in our lives...Copy !req
454. - ... before we—
- Kicked the bucket.Copy !req
455. Cutesy.Copy !req
456. Anyway, I wrote things like
"make a million dollars"...Copy !req
457. "first black president,"
you know, young man's wishes.Copy !req
458. I was gonna redo the list, but then...Copy !req
459. "Help a complete stranger for the good."Copy !req
460. "Laugh until I cry."Copy !req
461. Not to be judgmental, but
this is extremely weak.Copy !req
462. Well, it's pointless now.Copy !req
463. I would argue the exact opposite.Copy !req
464. All right. That's it.Copy !req
465. What are you doing?Copy !req
466. A little rewrite, that's all.Copy !req
467. I mean, don't you want to go out
with some balls? Guns blazing?Copy !req
468. Have a little fun?Copy !req
469. It was not supposed to be about
guns blazing or anything like that.Copy !req
470. You're missing the point.Copy !req
471. What the hell is "witness
something majestic"?Copy !req
472. Have you ever been to the Himalayas?Copy !req
473. Eh.Copy !req
474. "Drive a Mustang Shelby." Not bad.Copy !req
475. I got one. All right.
How about skydiving?Copy !req
476. Now we're onto something.Copy !req
477. We're onto something?Copy !req
478. - Uh-huh.
- Let me see that. Come on.Copy !req
479. Fine.Copy !req
480. "Kiss the most beautiful
girl in the world"?Copy !req
481. How do you propose doing that?Copy !req
482. Volume.Copy !req
483. "Get a tattoo."
Is that the sum of your ambition?Copy !req
484. Edward, I've taken baths deeper than you.Copy !req
485. It's easy to be deep in
freshman philosophy.Copy !req
486. What's Dr. Hollins say?Copy !req
487. We got months, right?Copy !req
488. A year, maybe.Copy !req
489. You think 45 years went by fast?Copy !req
490. We could do this.Copy !req
491. We should do this.Copy !req
492. No, I couldn't.Copy !req
493. Don't think about money.
That's all I got is money.Copy !req
494. But I don't know. I—Copy !req
495. What don't you know?Copy !req
496. It was meant to be metaphorical.Copy !req
497. - I'm just trying to get a handle on—
- Blah, blah, blah.Copy !req
498. Metaphors.Copy !req
499. You're the one crying you never
took a shot. Here's your chance.Copy !req
500. My chance to what?
Make a fool of myself?Copy !req
501. Never too late.Copy !req
502. What do you think happens now?Copy !req
503. I go back and sit around
listening to people...Copy !req
504. talking about mezzanine
financing and subordinated debt...Copy !req
505. pretending that I care about dead money.Copy !req
506. You go home to some ceremonial
procession into death...Copy !req
507. with everyone standing
around watching you die...Copy !req
508. while you try to comfort them.Copy !req
509. Is that what you want, to be
smothered by pity and grief?Copy !req
510. Well, not me.Copy !req
511. And in your heart, Carter,
I believe not you either.Copy !req
512. We're both in the same boat.
How's that for a metaphor?Copy !req
513. We got a real opportunity here.Copy !req
514. Opportunity?Copy !req
515. That is real twisted,
even by your standards.Copy !req
516. We still feel good, right?
Energy's coming back a little bit.Copy !req
517. Asymptomatic, the doc says.Copy !req
518. The way I see it, we can lay around here...Copy !req
519. hoping for a miracle in some
bullshit science experiment...Copy !req
520. or we can put some moves on.Copy !req
521. Skydiving, huh?Copy !req
522. All right.Copy !req
523. What kind of hospital is this?
There isn't an M.D. within a mile.Copy !req
524. Virginia, we have to talk.Copy !req
525. What did they say?Copy !req
526. Uh, Mrs. Chambers, I'm gonna give
you two a little quiet time.Copy !req
527. Excuse me.Copy !req
528. It's not good.Copy !req
529. I knew we should have gone to UCLA.Copy !req
530. The surgeons are better.
Post-op is better.Copy !req
531. - Wouldn't have mattered.
- You don't know that.Copy !req
532. We're not giving up.
I want another opinion.Copy !req
533. Ah, Virginia.Copy !req
534. Yes, Oncology, please.
Dr. Veteri's office.Copy !req
535. Virginia, no.Copy !req
536. Let me handle this.Copy !req
537. Dr. Veteri? Virginia Chambers.Copy !req
538. Yes, that's right—Copy !req
539. I'm going away for a while.Copy !req
540. What are you talking about?Copy !req
541. I'm talking about Edward
and I are going away.Copy !req
542. Edward and you?Copy !req
543. Going away where?Copy !req
544. I don't expect you to understand.Copy !req
545. You're damn right I don't understand.Copy !req
546. I don't understand how you
can just give up like this.Copy !req
547. How you can just quit—
Quit fighting.Copy !req
548. - Virginia.
- Why don't you tell our children that?Copy !req
549. See what they say when they find
out you've given up on them.Copy !req
550. Given up on them?Copy !req
551. Given up on them?Copy !req
552. I've got 45 years greased up
under the hood of a car...Copy !req
553. so that they didn't want for
anything, and they didn't.Copy !req
554. I think I've earned some time for myself.Copy !req
555. To do what?
Run off with a total stranger?Copy !req
556. He's not a stranger.Copy !req
557. I'm your wife.Copy !req
558. And I'm your husband.
And I'm their father.Copy !req
559. And I'm a grandfather.
And I'm a damn mechanic!Copy !req
560. And you're a fool.Copy !req
561. You're a fool who thinks he's figured
out a way how not to have cancer.Copy !req
562. I'm sorry.Copy !req
563. My husband is not for sale.Copy !req
564. She hates me.Copy !req
565. Do you hate me?Copy !req
566. Not yet.Copy !req
567. And so it began.Copy !req
568. I've always been afraid to
go up in an airplane...Copy !req
569. now I'm gonna jump out of
one at the whim of a maniac!Copy !req
570. Wanna get it?Copy !req
571. How do you suggest we do that?Copy !req
572. Wait.Copy !req
573. Ow!Copy !req
574. Aah!Copy !req
575. Damn it.Copy !req
576. Not a word.Copy !req
577. Back to the seat, Kyle.Copy !req
578. You'll have to forgive him, Kyle.
He's worried about the little woman.Copy !req
579. This has nothing to do with my wife.Copy !req
580. Thirty seconds to drop.Copy !req
581. The Sequel was like that.Copy !req
582. She never backed me up on anything.Copy !req
583. The Sequel?Copy !req
584. The second Mrs. Edward Cole.Copy !req
585. God, that woman hated me.Copy !req
586. Maybe because you called her
The Sequel.Copy !req
587. Jeez, Kyle,
I never looked at it that way.Copy !req
588. - Fifteen seconds.
- No, no.Copy !req
589. - Wait! Wait, I can't do this.
- Sure you can.Copy !req
590. No. I can't. Really.Copy !req
591. It's not the jump you're afraid of.Copy !req
592. The hell it's not!Copy !req
593. You're just afraid your chute won't open...Copy !req
594. and you'll show up at your
own funeral as a Denver omelet.Copy !req
595. No, I'm pretty much just
worried the chute won't open.Copy !req
596. No, no!Copy !req
597. Man's got some lungs, huh?Copy !req
598. Let's hit the silk!Copy !req
599. Geronimo!Copy !req
600. Oh, yeah, beautiful!Copy !req
601. Aah! Aah!Copy !req
602. Pull the thing! Pull the cord!Copy !req
603. How about this, huh? This is living.Copy !req
604. I hate your rotten guts.Copy !req
605. Surrender to the void!Copy !req
606. Which one of these damn cords do you pull?Copy !req
607. Don't touch it. We're not in the
drop zone yet. We could wind up in the—Copy !req
608. Okay. Let's deploy.Copy !req
609. I got a feeling I'm fallingCopy !req
610. We're in the red zone. Pull the cord.Copy !req
611. I got a feeling I'm falling in loveCopy !req
612. Pull the damn cord!Copy !req
613. I was in love once.Copy !req
614. Tommy, we live to die another day.Copy !req
615. How lucky for me.Copy !req
616. No jokes, Thomas, remember the will.
You're so close.Copy !req
617. Let me ask you something.Copy !req
618. Uh, is it Tommy or Thomas?Copy !req
619. Um, it's actually Matthew, but
he finds that too biblical.Copy !req
620. Let's eat something. Come on!Copy !req
621. Is he insane?Copy !req
622. Depends.Copy !req
623. So you decided?Copy !req
624. No, I couldn't think of anything
I wanted to be stuck with permanently.Copy !req
625. What's permanently?
We're gonna be dead in five minutes.Copy !req
626. - What?
- Figure of speech.Copy !req
627. So no Confederate flag, no black Jesus.Copy !req
628. No, I'm gonna...Copy !req
629. Pass. Yeah, sure.Copy !req
630. Well, I never agreed to desecrate my body.Copy !req
631. You worried they won't bury
you in a Jewish cemetery?Copy !req
632. What, the wife?Copy !req
633. It's a tattoo.Copy !req
634. It's not like you're dumping
her for another woman.Copy !req
635. I never been with another woman.Copy !req
636. Whoa.Copy !req
637. That's gotta be on the list.Copy !req
638. No, no. I don't think so.Copy !req
639. Sixty-six years?Copy !req
640. Man, oh, man.
We ought to have a big orgy.Copy !req
641. No.Copy !req
642. Orgy's not even being unfaithful.Copy !req
643. No.Copy !req
644. It's just, like, professional.Copy !req
645. No!Copy !req
646. I don't even have to be there.Copy !req
647. Hello, darling.Copy !req
648. - You gonna drive it or buy it a dress?
- Ha, ha.Copy !req
649. Just getting to know each other.Copy !req
650. You sure we're cleared for this?Copy !req
651. Of course we're cleared for it.
What if we weren't?Copy !req
652. Just checking.Copy !req
653. Come on! Tap it, baby!
Let's see what she's got.Copy !req
654. Ah, we're doing just fine.Copy !req
655. You sound like some kid
going to the junior prom.Copy !req
656. You sound like someone
looking for an ass-whupping.Copy !req
657. Ass-whupping? Ho-ho-ho-ho.Copy !req
658. - You got nothing!
- Ha, ha.Copy !req
659. Got enough for you, Sunny Jim, dangling.Copy !req
660. Did you just make a penis reference?Copy !req
661. What if I did?Copy !req
662. Jesus! You're gonna kill us both!Copy !req
663. What if I do?Copy !req
664. Goddamn it!Copy !req
665. You're breaking evil on me.Copy !req
666. Evil? I'll show you evil.Copy !req
667. I'll show you Evel goddamn Knievel.Copy !req
668. Pick up on this, chicken man!Copy !req
669. Yee-ha!Copy !req
670. Chicken man, huh?Copy !req
671. You can run, but you cannot hide!Copy !req
672. What do you wanna do next?Copy !req
673. How much money do you have anyway?Copy !req
674. Didn't anyone ever tell you...Copy !req
675. that it's rude to talk
about someone else's money?Copy !req
676. I never knew anyone with enough to ask.Copy !req
677. Medicinal.Copy !req
678. It's indescribably beautiful.Copy !req
679. I love flying over the polar cap.Copy !req
680. Above the desolation.Copy !req
681. The stars...Copy !req
682. it's really one of God's good ones.Copy !req
683. So you think a being of
some sort did all this?Copy !req
684. You don't?Copy !req
685. You mean, do I believe if
I look up in the sky...Copy !req
686. and promise this or that...Copy !req
687. the Biggie will make all this go away?Copy !req
688. No.Copy !req
689. Then 95 percent of the
people on Earth are wrong?Copy !req
690. If life has taught me anything...Copy !req
691. it's that 95 percent of
the people are always wrong.Copy !req
692. It's called faith.Copy !req
693. I honestly envy people who have faith.
I just can't get my head around it.Copy !req
694. Maybe your head's in the way.Copy !req
695. Carter, we've all had hundreds
of these discussions...Copy !req
696. and every one of them
always hits the same wall.Copy !req
697. Is there a sugarplum fairy or not?Copy !req
698. And nobody has ever gotten over that wall.Copy !req
699. So, what do you believe?Copy !req
700. I resist all beliefs.Copy !req
701. No big bang? Random universe?Copy !req
702. We live.Copy !req
703. We die.Copy !req
704. And the wheels on the
bus go round and round.Copy !req
705. What if you're wrong?Copy !req
706. I'd love to be wrong.Copy !req
707. If I'm wrong, I win.Copy !req
708. I'm not sure it works that way.Copy !req
709. Well, you're not claiming
you know something I don't.Copy !req
710. Mm-mm.Copy !req
711. I just have faith.Copy !req
712. Hallelujah, brother...Copy !req
713. and pass the mustard.Copy !req
714. - Know how they harvest caviar?
- Hit me.Copy !req
715. When a female sturgeon is caught...Copy !req
716. the fisherman has to take great
care to see she dies peacefully.Copy !req
717. - Mm-hm.
- If she feels the least bit threatened...Copy !req
718. she secretes a sour
chemical that ruins the eggs.Copy !req
719. Sounds like my third wife.Copy !req
720. Woman thought mayonnaise came from a plant.Copy !req
721. I could get used to this.Copy !req
722. Also sounds like my third wife.Copy !req
723. Thirty years I've been coming here.Copy !req
724. First time with a guy.Copy !req
725. Well, I'm flattered.Copy !req
726. Emily's 10th birthday was the best, though.Copy !req
727. Who's Emily?Copy !req
728. My little, uh...Copy !req
729. Well, she's not so little anymore.Copy !req
730. You have a daughter?Copy !req
731. - But I thought you said—
- Yeah, well...Copy !req
732. I didn't know you then.Copy !req
733. Make a long story short, uh...Copy !req
734. I don't see her.Copy !req
735. Hmm.Copy !req
736. What are you doing?Copy !req
737. It's time.Copy !req
738. - No, no, no. Cross that off.
- Why not?Copy !req
739. - Cross it off.
- Why?Copy !req
740. Why?Copy !req
741. There is no why.Copy !req
742. - What's the matter?
- Excuse me.Copy !req
743. Where you going?Copy !req
744. Just like a broad.Copy !req
745. Look, uh, Carter...Copy !req
746. I'm sorry. I know...Copy !req
747. sometimes I get a
little overbearing and I—Copy !req
748. Jesus Christ.Copy !req
749. - It's all right. It's okay.
- What? What?Copy !req
750. The top on the catheter
came loose, that's all.Copy !req
751. Well, maybe we should get
you to a hospital, Carter—Copy !req
752. - I just busted out of the hospital.
- Huh?Copy !req
753. It's all right. Look, it's already
stopped, see? Let's get out of here.Copy !req
754. It looks wonderful.
Uh... Uh...Copy !req
755. - Maybe I'll get the—
- Let's just go.Copy !req
756. - You go straight to the car.
- Come on. Come on.Copy !req
757. Okay, all right.Copy !req
758. - Where's—? Where's Tommy?
- In the salon, monsieur.Copy !req
759. Oh, my.Copy !req
760. How much money do you have?Copy !req
761. Well, I wouldn't bleed on the rugs.Copy !req
762. I'm gonna find someplace where
I can take a nice hot bath.Copy !req
763. Be as good as new afterwards.Copy !req
764. Uh... You— Okay.Copy !req
765. - Tom—
- Okay, we're all set, then? Okay, good.Copy !req
766. All right, it took some doing,
but, uh, I rearranged everything.Copy !req
767. Cairo tomorrow, Tanzania for two
days, then Johannesburg on Saturday.Copy !req
768. And, as previously directed,
no bullfight, no tiger hunt.Copy !req
769. Thomas, I'd really like to
say you're irreplaceable...Copy !req
770. but I'd be lying.Copy !req
771. And I'd really like to say you're a
gracious man, and I love my job...Copy !req
772. but I, too, would be lying.Copy !req
773. Turnabout is fair play.Copy !req
774. I believe you learned that from the master.Copy !req
775. Hey, look!
They got Jeopardy! in the bathroom!Copy !req
776. On the TV. Jeopardy!Copy !req
777. Jeopardy! In French?Copy !req
778. Hello?Copy !req
779. Mr. Cole? Virginia Chambers.Copy !req
780. Oh. Yeah. Um, hi.Copy !req
781. Let me get Carter for you.Copy !req
782. Well, actually,
I called to speak to you.Copy !req
783. Oh.Copy !req
784. Is he all right?Copy !req
785. Oh, yeah. He's— He's fine.Copy !req
786. May I ask where you are?Copy !req
787. France, actually. Uh, tomorrow—Copy !req
788. Give him back to me.Copy !req
789. Virginia. May I call you Virginia?Copy !req
790. I'm not sure that I can make—Copy !req
791. I'm not asking for his sake.Copy !req
792. Mr. Cole...Copy !req
793. I've been a nurse my entire adult life.Copy !req
794. Had a ringside seat to
more human tragedy...Copy !req
795. than any woman should ever have to bear.Copy !req
796. Now, I'm prepared for my husband to die.Copy !req
797. I'm just not prepared to lose
him while he's still alive.Copy !req
798. - Who is Howdy Doody?
- You got it.Copy !req
799. - You pick.
- "TV Puppets," for 400.Copy !req
800. These two Muppets...Copy !req
801. are roommates on the
long-running show Sesame Street.Copy !req
802. - Who are Bert and Ernie?
- Who are Bert and Ernie?Copy !req
803. the son of a Greek immigrant...Copy !req
804. was born in Towson, Maryland.Copy !req
805. Who is Spiro Agnew?Copy !req
806. Who is Spiro Agnew?Copy !req
807. Well...Copy !req
808. you're looking, uh...Copy !req
809. buoyant.Copy !req
810. This is the first time I was
ever in a tub with no corners.Copy !req
811. Really?Copy !req
812. You know, ahem, Carter,
uh, I've been thinking...Copy !req
813. what with the catheter and everything...Copy !req
814. maybe we should put
this on hold for a while.Copy !req
815. Come on, now, I told you, stop worrying.
I'm fine.Copy !req
816. No, no, it's not that. It's not that.Copy !req
817. It's just, I mean, if you're
worried about letting me down...Copy !req
818. you know, it's a lot easier for me.Copy !req
819. You talked to Virginia, didn't you?Copy !req
820. Why do you think I'm doing this?Copy !req
821. Because I talked you into it.Copy !req
822. Edward, you're strong, but
you're not that strong.Copy !req
823. No.Copy !req
824. After Rachel left for
college, there was a hole.Copy !req
825. I mean, you know, no more homework,
no more Little League...Copy !req
826. recitals, school plays...Copy !req
827. kids crying, fights, skinned knees.Copy !req
828. And for the first time in 40 years,
I looked at Virginia...Copy !req
829. without all of the noise,
without all of the distractions...Copy !req
830. and I couldn't remember
what it felt like...Copy !req
831. when I could not walk down the
street without holding her hand.Copy !req
832. I mean, she was the same woman
I fell in love with, she hadn't changed.Copy !req
833. But somehow everything was different.Copy !req
834. We'd lost something along the way.Copy !req
835. You know?Copy !req
836. "TV Puppets, " for 600.Copy !req
837. Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen
hosted a show named for this dummy.Copy !req
838. Who is Charlie McCarthy?Copy !req
839. - Sandy?
- Who's Charlie McCarthy?Copy !req
840. Look, look, look!Copy !req
841. Aah!Copy !req
842. I was very pleased
when Edward decided...Copy !req
843. to eliminate item
number nine from his list:Copy !req
844. "Hunt the big cat."Copy !req
845. Of course, he did insist on discharging
a few rounds from the big gun.Copy !req
846. One proved to be enough.Copy !req
847. - Gin.
- Of course, gin, why not?Copy !req
848. Do you know...Copy !req
849. that the only dog ever struck by
lightning was right here, in Egypt?Copy !req
850. I wish I'd met you before we were dead.Copy !req
851. You know, technically...Copy !req
852. we could cross off two items:Copy !req
853. "See the pyramids"...Copy !req
854. and "witness something majestic."Copy !req
855. This is about as majestic as it gets.Copy !req
856. Wait till you see my mountain.Copy !req
857. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
858. Your mountain.Copy !req
859. Still, this ain't half bad.Copy !req
860. You know, the ancient Egyptians had
a beautiful belief about death.Copy !req
861. When their souls got to
the entrance to heaven...Copy !req
862. the gods asked them two questions.Copy !req
863. Their answers determined whether
they were admitted or not.Copy !req
864. Okay, I'll bite.Copy !req
865. What were they?Copy !req
866. Have you found joy in your life?Copy !req
867. Uh-huh.Copy !req
868. Answer the question.Copy !req
869. - Me?
- Yeah, you.Copy !req
870. Answer the question, "Have
I found joy in my life?"Copy !req
871. Yes.Copy !req
872. Has your life brought joy to others?Copy !req
873. Ah, this type of question, I—Copy !req
874. I don't know, uh...Copy !req
875. I don't think about how
other people gauge, uh...Copy !req
876. Ask them.Copy !req
877. I'm asking you.Copy !req
878. Fine.Copy !req
879. Fine.Copy !req
880. Let me put it to you this way.Copy !req
881. After the breakup, and the
ensuing fleecing of the dad...Copy !req
882. Emily went to live with her mother.Copy !req
883. You know, you try to stay close,
but it gets down to holidays...Copy !req
884. phone calls, birthday cards, you know.Copy !req
885. Anyway...Copy !req
886. Emily goes to college, joins one
of her "Save the Poor People"...Copy !req
887. the animals, whatnot...Copy !req
888. meets a guy, decides she loves him.Copy !req
889. Good-looking kid, driven, smart.Copy !req
890. But there was something about him...Copy !req
891. so when she said they were engaged
I told her I was against it...Copy !req
892. but being my daughter, naturally...Copy !req
893. she went ahead and married him anyway.Copy !req
894. Needless to say,
I wasn't invited to the wedding.Copy !req
895. That must have hurt.Copy !req
896. You think?Copy !req
897. First time he hit her, she came to me.
I wanted to bash his brains in.Copy !req
898. She wouldn't let me.Copy !req
899. Said she loved him, said it wasn't
his fault, he'd had a few drinks...Copy !req
900. she was the one picked the fight.Copy !req
901. Next time it happened,
she didn't come to me.Copy !req
902. The ex told me.
Nice to hear her voice again.Copy !req
903. What did you do?Copy !req
904. What any father would do.Copy !req
905. I took care of it.Copy !req
906. I called a guy who called a guy who
handles these kinds of things.Copy !req
907. I don't know what he said,
don't know what he did...Copy !req
908. all I know is he didn't kill him...Copy !req
909. and my daughter never
heard from him again.Copy !req
910. How did she react?Copy !req
911. Called me names you wouldn't
believe, and worse...Copy !req
912. Said I was dead to her.Copy !req
913. I'm not proud of everything I did...Copy !req
914. but I'm pretty sure
I'd do it all again...Copy !req
915. so if they don't let me into Egyptian
heaven because my daughter hates me...Copy !req
916. well, then I guess that's
just the way it goes.Copy !req
917. However you answer your two questions.Copy !req
918. How do we get down from this tomb?Copy !req
919. The empress was the wife of
Shah Jahan, the fifth Mogul emperor.Copy !req
920. Although it was an arranged marriage,
they were deeply in love...Copy !req
921. and remained inseparable until she
died giving birth to their 14th child.Copy !req
922. Do you mind if I call you Ray?Copy !req
923. Main man Ray.Copy !req
924. Are you listening to anything I'm saying?Copy !req
925. Absolutely.Copy !req
926. Fourteen kids. I'm with you.Copy !req
927. It took 20,000 volunteers 22 years
to complete this structure.Copy !req
928. Every square foot designed
by the shah himself.Copy !req
929. So that's true love.Copy !req
930. That's true love.Copy !req
931. Must be nice.Copy !req
932. Don't know if I buy the whole
"20,000 volunteers" business.Copy !req
933. Funeral plans tend to confuse me.Copy !req
934. Specifically, buried or cremated.Copy !req
935. Take buried.Copy !req
936. Now, I know it shouldn't matter,
but I'm claustrophobic.Copy !req
937. What if I wake up underground
and nobody can hear me?Copy !req
938. Do they still make those
coffins with the bells?Copy !req
939. Uh... I don't believe they do.Copy !req
940. Then cremated.
What do you do with the ashes?Copy !req
941. Do you bury them, scatter
them, put them on a shelf?Copy !req
942. Float them down the Ganges
on a bed of flowers?Copy !req
943. What if I feel the flames?Copy !req
944. Well, I definitely want
to have myself cremated.Copy !req
945. Maybe we should go frozen
like Walt Disney.Copy !req
946. No. Cremated.Copy !req
947. Ashes put in a can, buried
some place with a view.Copy !req
948. A can, huh?Copy !req
949. Yeah. I never liked the
sound of the word urn.Copy !req
950. Really? Got any special
feelings about crypt?Copy !req
951. Heh. No.Copy !req
952. No, an old Chock Full o'Nuts
can will do me just fine.Copy !req
953. Chock Full o'Nuts, "the Heavenly Coffee."Copy !req
954. Better coffee even your
money can't buy, my friend.Copy !req
955. Don't bet on it.Copy !req
956. Oh, right.Copy !req
957. Kopi Luwak.Copy !req
958. What do you got against Kopi Luwak?Copy !req
959. Too fancy for my tastes.Copy !req
960. Oh, yeah.
Too fancy for my main man, Ray.Copy !req
961. Gin. - Goddamn it.Copy !req
962. You get all the cards.Copy !req
963. This is China for you, baby.Copy !req
964. Whoo-hoo! Yeah!Copy !req
965. Be a lot more majestic if we could see it.Copy !req
966. See that old woman?Copy !req
967. Odds are we're gonna be dead before her.Copy !req
968. Happy thought.Copy !req
969. Of course, she's probably got
reincarnation going for her...Copy !req
970. however that system works.Copy !req
971. Ah, the Buddhists believe
you keep coming back.Copy !req
972. Moving up or down a level, based
on how you lived your life.Copy !req
973. See, that's where they lose me.Copy !req
974. I mean, what would a snail have
to do to move up in the lineup?Copy !req
975. Lay down a perfect trail of slime?Copy !req
976. So shitty news, or really shitty news?Copy !req
977. A, the first one.Copy !req
978. There's a storm up there.Copy !req
979. Well, thanks for the bulletin, Tom,
we can't even see the goddamn thing.Copy !req
980. They won't let us fly up
until the weather clears.Copy !req
981. Well, when do they expect it to clear?Copy !req
982. Uh, next spring, sometime.Copy !req
983. That's the really shitty news,
in case you were wondering.Copy !req
984. Well, maybe next time.Copy !req
985. Yeah.Copy !req
986. Next spring.Copy !req
987. So now what?Copy !req
988. Well, maybe your mountain's
trying to tell us something.Copy !req
989. What do you mean?Copy !req
990. Maybe we've been gone long enough.Copy !req
991. Gone long enough?
Gone long enough for whom?Copy !req
992. Oh. No, I get it.Copy !req
993. The mountain isn't telling us
it's time for us to go home.Copy !req
994. The mountain is telling you to tell me
it's time for me to go home, right?Copy !req
995. - Yeah.
- You shit.Copy !req
996. Why don't you worry about your life,
and let me worry about mine, okay?Copy !req
997. Okay, okay! You don't have
to get chippy with me.Copy !req
998. - What's next?
- Next, Hong Kong.Copy !req
999. Silk suits and black walnut ice cream.Copy !req
1000. Tibetans call it Chomulungma,
"Goddess Mother of the Snows."Copy !req
1001. "Goddess Mother of the World," actually.Copy !req
1002. In the traditional Tibetan translation.Copy !req
1003. I stand corrected.Copy !req
1004. Pinot Noir, please.Copy !req
1005. I take it you've been there?Copy !req
1006. Uh— Uh— Um...
I just left, actually.Copy !req
1007. We tried to go up, but it wasn't—Copy !req
1008. You're a little late in the season.Copy !req
1009. So they tell me.Copy !req
1010. - My name's Angelica.
- Yeah, Carter.Copy !req
1011. I'm sorry if this sounds terrible...Copy !req
1012. but aren't you a little developed in
years to be running up a giant mountain?Copy !req
1013. "Developed," now that's certainly
one way of putting it.Copy !req
1014. Well, I've been up there, you know.Copy !req
1015. - Really?
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
1016. I made it to 26,000 feet
before we had to turn back.Copy !req
1017. - Really?
- Mm-hm.Copy !req
1018. What was it like?Copy !req
1019. Cold...Copy !req
1020. - Mm.
- ... mostly.Copy !req
1021. During the day, the sky
is more black than blue.Copy !req
1022. There's not enough air
to reflect the sunlight.Copy !req
1023. But at night, you've never
seen so many stars.Copy !req
1024. Seems like they're just out
of reach, and so bright.Copy !req
1025. They're like little holes
in the floor of heaven.Copy !req
1026. - Did you hear it?
- Hear what?Copy !req
1027. I read an account of a man
who made it to the summit...Copy !req
1028. and standing there at
the top of the world...Copy !req
1029. he experienced this profound silence.Copy !req
1030. It was like all sound just fell away.Copy !req
1031. And that's when he heard it.Copy !req
1032. What?Copy !req
1033. The sound of the mountain.Copy !req
1034. He said it was like he
heard the voice of God.Copy !req
1035. I've never done this before.Copy !req
1036. That sounds like such a cliché...Copy !req
1037. but I have a room upstairs.Copy !req
1038. Well, that's...Copy !req
1039. I mean...Copy !req
1040. I...Copy !req
1041. I appreciate that.Copy !req
1042. But you see...Copy !req
1043. She's a very lucky woman.Copy !req
1044. Well, I rather think I'm the lucky one.Copy !req
1045. Good for you.Copy !req
1046. Tom?Copy !req
1047. Three things to remember
when you get older:Copy !req
1048. Never pass up a bathroom...Copy !req
1049. never waste a hard-on,
and never trust a fart.Copy !req
1050. I'll keep that in mind as
I approach decrepitude.Copy !req
1051. Heh-heh. That's a good one there.Copy !req
1052. Let's go home.Copy !req
1053. Excuse me?Copy !req
1054. I want to go home now.Copy !req
1055. But I thought that—
What about the silk suits?Copy !req
1056. That was very clever of you, Edward.Copy !req
1057. How'd you know
I wouldn't go through with it?Copy !req
1058. I didn't.Copy !req
1059. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
1060. Nobody cares what you think.Copy !req
1061. America.Copy !req
1062. Hey, Tommy, this isn't the way to Crenshaw.Copy !req
1063. There's an accident on the 10.
We're taking the surface streets.Copy !req
1064. Uh-huh.Copy !req
1065. Why are we, uh...?Copy !req
1066. Oh, my God.Copy !req
1067. He's kept tabs on her.
Just in case you decided to—Copy !req
1068. This was your idea, Tom?Copy !req
1069. No, it was my idea.
I talked him into it.Copy !req
1070. - Yeah, talked him into it.
- Hey.Copy !req
1071. Wait a minute. Edward. Edward?
Wait a minute.Copy !req
1072. Edward. What are you so afraid of?Copy !req
1073. Just because I told you my story does
not invite you to be a part of it.Copy !req
1074. Oh. Like the lady in the bar?Copy !req
1075. - That's different.
- Tell me how.Copy !req
1076. - Because it is!
- How is it different?Copy !req
1077. You have no fucking idea who I am!Copy !req
1078. I built a billion-dollar
business up from nothing!Copy !req
1079. Presidents have asked my advice.Copy !req
1080. I have dined with royalty and I'm
supposed to make out like, what...Copy !req
1081. this trip was supposed
to mean something to me?Copy !req
1082. Like it was gonna change me?Copy !req
1083. How did you see it playing out, Carter?
I knock on the door, she answers.Copy !req
1084. She's surprised and angry...Copy !req
1085. but I tell her how much
I love her and miss her.Copy !req
1086. And, "Oh. By the way,
I'm gonna be dead soon...Copy !req
1087. so I'm reaching out to you
because I don't wanna die alone"?Copy !req
1088. Everyone is afraid to die alone.Copy !req
1089. I'm not everyone!Copy !req
1090. This was supposed to be fun.Copy !req
1091. That's all it ever was.Copy !req
1092. No, you don't get in. Call a cab.Copy !req
1093. Dear Heavenly Father, we
just want to thank you for this day...Copy !req
1094. for having our family
here together, once again.Copy !req
1095. And, Lord, we just want to thank
you for returning my husband...Copy !req
1096. their father, Lord, to us.Copy !req
1097. Is he crying?Copy !req
1098. I don't know.Copy !req
1099. He's usually so much fun.Copy !req
1100. Oh...Copy !req
1101. - Wait a minute.
- What?Copy !req
1102. - I got something for us.
- Oh?Copy !req
1103. I wasn't sure I'd need it.Copy !req
1104. Sure.Copy !req
1105. Ow! Heh.Copy !req
1106. Okay.Copy !req
1107. You know how long it's been?Copy !req
1108. Do I wanna know?Copy !req
1109. Well, it's been longer than that.Copy !req
1110. You know, I feel like a teenager.
Like our first time.Copy !req
1111. Uh, if we were teenagers, we never
would've gotten out of that living room.Copy !req
1112. I remember the first time.Copy !req
1113. There was no tiptoeing around.Copy !req
1114. You were on me like... that.Copy !req
1115. Carter?Copy !req
1116. Oh, you playing hide-and-seek
now, huh? Okay.Copy !req
1117. Carter!Copy !req
1118. —Which resulted in a 15 percent
increase in cash assets...Copy !req
1119. following the sale of the
recovery center to Phillips Medical.Copy !req
1120. Mr. Cole?Copy !req
1121. Mr. Cole?Copy !req
1122. You ever read The Divine Comedy?Copy !req
1123. Excuse me, sir?Copy !req
1124. The Divine Comedy,
Dante Alighieri's journey into hell.Copy !req
1125. Maybe we should take a break.Copy !req
1126. We don't need a break.Copy !req
1127. I'm in remission.
I'm a goddamn medical miracle.Copy !req
1128. I'm simply asking...Copy !req
1129. if you ever read The Divine Comedy.Copy !req
1130. Sir, you have a phone call.Copy !req
1131. Tommy, not now.Copy !req
1132. I really think you should take this.Copy !req
1133. Uh...Copy !req
1134. Hey, Edward.Copy !req
1135. What's the prognosis?Copy !req
1136. It's metastasized to his brain.Copy !req
1137. Metast— Operable?Copy !req
1138. The odds aren't what we'd like them to be.Copy !req
1139. Odds.Copy !req
1140. Jesus.Copy !req
1141. How's he doing?Copy !req
1142. He's doing okay.Copy !req
1143. Uh, he wanted me to give you this.Copy !req
1144. I was supposed to wait until after...Copy !req
1145. but then I thought...Copy !req
1146. She never listened to me before.Copy !req
1147. Why change a winning formula?Copy !req
1148. You look like shit, Ray.Copy !req
1149. Thanks.Copy !req
1150. How they treating you?Copy !req
1151. Pea soup still sucks.Copy !req
1152. I'll have a word with the owner.Copy !req
1153. You do that.Copy !req
1154. Can I have some water?Copy !req
1155. You can't have water, but I'll get
you some of those lemon swabs, okay?Copy !req
1156. All right.Copy !req
1157. You still drinking that fancy coffee?Copy !req
1158. What?Copy !req
1159. What are you, obsessed?Copy !req
1160. Read it.Copy !req
1161. "Kopi Luwak is the world's
most expensive coffee.Copy !req
1162. Though for some, it falls under the
category of 'too good to be true.'Copy !req
1163. In the Sumatran village where
the beans are grown...Copy !req
1164. lives a breed of wild tree cat.Copy !req
1165. These cats eat the beans,
digest them and then...Copy !req
1166. defecate.Copy !req
1167. The villagers then collect
and process the stools.Copy !req
1168. It is the combination of the beans and
the gastric juices of the tree cat...Copy !req
1169. that give Kopi Luwak
its unique flavor...Copy !req
1170. and aroma."Copy !req
1171. You're shitting me.Copy !req
1172. Cats beat me to it.Copy !req
1173. - You got a pen? Give me a pen.
- What?Copy !req
1174. What?Copy !req
1175. Here.Copy !req
1176. It's not finished.Copy !req
1177. Well...Copy !req
1178. It's not a one-man deal.Copy !req
1179. I'm afraid it'll have to be.Copy !req
1180. We're ready.Copy !req
1181. I'll be here when you get back.Copy !req
1182. Sounds good to me.Copy !req
1183. Dear Edward, I've gone back
and forth the last few days...Copy !req
1184. trying to decide whether or not
I should even write this.Copy !req
1185. In the end, I realized
I would regret it if I didn't...Copy !req
1186. so here goes.Copy !req
1187. I know the last time we saw each other...Copy !req
1188. we weren't exactly
hitting the sweetest notes.Copy !req
1189. It certainly wasn't the way
I wanted the trip to end.Copy !req
1190. I suppose I'm responsible,
and for that I'm sorry.Copy !req
1191. But, in all honesty, if I had
the chance, I'd do it again.Copy !req
1192. Virginia said I left a stranger
and came back a husband.Copy !req
1193. I owe that to you.Copy !req
1194. There's no way I can repay you
for all you've done for me...Copy !req
1195. so rather than try, I'm just going
to ask you to do something else for me.Copy !req
1196. Find the joy in your life.Copy !req
1197. You once said you're not everyone.Copy !req
1198. Well, that's true.Copy !req
1199. You're certainly not everyone.Copy !req
1200. But everyone is everyone.Copy !req
1201. My pastor always says:Copy !req
1202. "Our lives are streams...Copy !req
1203. flowing into the same river...Copy !req
1204. towards whatever heaven lies
in the mist beyond the falls."Copy !req
1205. Hello, sweetie. Hi.Copy !req
1206. Find the joy in your life, Edward.Copy !req
1207. My dear friend...Copy !req
1208. close your eyes and let
the waters take you home.Copy !req
1209. Good afternoon.
My name is Edward Cole.Copy !req
1210. I don't know what most people say
at these occasions, because...Copy !req
1211. in all honesty, I...Copy !req
1212. I've tried to avoid them.Copy !req
1213. The simplest thing is...Copy !req
1214. I loved him and I miss him.Copy !req
1215. Carter and I saw the world together.Copy !req
1216. Which is amazing...Copy !req
1217. when you think that
only three months ago...Copy !req
1218. we were complete strangers.Copy !req
1219. I hope...Copy !req
1220. that it doesn't sound selfish of me...Copy !req
1221. but the last months of his life...Copy !req
1222. were the best months of mine.Copy !req
1223. He saved my life.Copy !req
1224. And he knew it before I did.Copy !req
1225. I'm deeply proud that this man...Copy !req
1226. found it worth his while to know me.Copy !req
1227. In the end...Copy !req
1228. I think it's safe to say that we
brought some joy to one another's lives.Copy !req
1229. So, one day, when...Copy !req
1230. I go to some final resting place...Copy !req
1231. if I happen to wake up next
to a certain wall with a gate...Copy !req
1232. I hope that Carter's there...Copy !req
1233. to vouch for me...Copy !req
1234. and show me the ropes on the other side.Copy !req
1235. Edward Perriman Cole died in May.Copy !req
1236. It was a Sunday, in the afternoon...Copy !req
1237. and there wasn't a cloud in the sky.Copy !req
1238. He was 81 years old.Copy !req
1239. Even now, I can't claim to
understand the measure of a life.Copy !req
1240. But I can tell you this:Copy !req
1241. I know that when he died,
his eyes were closed...Copy !req
1242. and his heart was open.Copy !req
1243. And I'm pretty sure he was happy
with his final resting place...Copy !req
1244. because he was buried on the mountain...Copy !req
1245. and that was against the law.Copy !req
