"Yeah, let's go." "ROBERT:" "I just..." "I need to talk to Susan." "Where is she?" "I need to know." "I need to know where she is, okay?" "To the airport, where's she going?" "Did she take the shuttle?" "(MACHINE WHIRRING)" "Hi, guys, excuse me, I just need to see if there's somebody..." " Hey." " Hi." " Did you get the money?" " How do you know about that?" " I heard the nurses talking about it." " Yeah, I got it." " What're you gonna do with it?" " Cancer research." " So I can help little boys like you." " In the future?" "Yeah." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, son." "We have to..." " We have to restart the treatment tomorrow." " No." "I'm not gonna do it again." "I can't do it again." "It burns, Doc, from the inside." "I can't move, I can't breathe, and it feels like icy needles." "Please, Doc, you said you'd help me." "I know, son." "I know." "It's the only way to make you healthy again." "We have to try." " This is the best chance we have." " No, it's not." "Why do you try to hurt me when you can't cure me?" "I want to go home, I don't want to be here anymore." " I'm going home." " Mark." "No." "(MARK GRUNTS)" " Let me go." " Shh." "Take it easy, son." "Take it easy." "I hate you." " Susan." " Oh, my God, what are you doing?" "Susan, I know that I'm not..." "I'm not the easiest person to get along with." "And I know that I'm not the best listener sometimes..." "But that's all bullshit, okay?" "I'm scum." "I'm dirt, I'm..." "I'm less than that." "I slept with her best friend." "But I get it now." "Susan, I get it." "I know what I did was wrong." "I know that." "If you give me another chance..." "If you give me another chance, Susan, I will show you that I can change." "Why?" "I mean, what makes you think that you can change?" "A bride." "I took a bride to a wedding today, and she made me..." "She made me realize just how important love is." "And how important you are." " What's that?" " It's a ring," "Susan, I've been carrying it around with me." "No, what's that?" "Whose are these?" "Oh, my God, you didn't." "Tell me you couldn't." "Tell me even you couldn't do that." " Just go." "Go, go, please, just get out." " Susan, just listen to..." "Get out!" "Hey, you heard the lady." "Man, you look like a truck hit you." "Yeah, chain fell out." "So, you must be Patrick." "Your dad had to leave." "Some meeting in Temecula." "He wasn't very happy about it, but he left you something." "Here." "(SIGHS)" "You wanna be an astronaut?" "No, astronomer." "I wanted to, but not anymore." "I love watching the world spinning myself." "You can only see it spinning from space." "So, why do you wanna be an astronomer?" "You don't know much, do you?" "Um..." " Look back in time, I guess." " How's that?" "When you look through a telescope, you see stars 100 light years away." "Do you have any idea how long it took for that light to get to you?" " A hundred years, I guess." " Yeah, that's right." "So, what you're looking at is, what it looked like 100 years ago." "So when, let's say, an alien living on a planet 100 light years away..." " There's no such things as aliens." " How do you know?" " You ever seen one?" " No, thought I married one though." "Wow, cool jacket." "Yeah, thanks." "Okay, but for now, let's just say there are aliens, and one of those bastards looks through his own telescope and spots us." "The alien sees the Earth as it was 100 years ago?" " That's right." " Then they get to look into the past too." "I like that." "But that means the alien sees the world without you and me, 'cause we haven't been born yet." "Yeah, that's the way it is." "(PHONE RINGING)" "I gotta get that." "Be right back, and then we continue, right?" "This is interesting stuff." "Hello." "Hey, Son." "What's on your mind?" "Don't worry, we'll talk about it when I get home, all right?" "Okay, be good now." "Bye." "COMMA:" "It's beautiful, isn't it?" " Nice day." " Yeah." "Is that a gazebo?" " Shall we?" " Yes." " Shall we investigate?" " Sure." " Sit down?" " Yeah, okay." "(CARLA LAUGHS)" " Thanks." " Sure." "(UPBEAT SPANISH MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)" "(IN SPANISH)" "So, your aunt, you tried to get the recipe out of her for years, yeah?" " And she never gave it up?" " She never..." "Well, we begged and begged and begged, and she would just get angry so, eventually, we stopped asking." "Hmm." "One day, my aunty got very ill, and we knew that, you know, she wasn't gonna make it, so the family" "all stood around her bed, and I finally worked up enough courage, and I told her" "that she couldn't take it to the grave with her, that she had to, please give us the recipe." "I said "Aunty," ""please tell us," ""why are your mashed potatoes so good?"" " And?" " And, well..." "She reached out her hand..." "And I..." "I gently held her hand." "What's the secret?" "What's your secret?" "What?" "Your secret." "What's your secret?" " Look, okay, you don't have to tell me." " I..." " I'm sorry, no, it's..." " No." " Maybe, I shouldn't have..." " (STAMMERING) No, it's... it's too much." " No, I can wait." " I..." "I can wait." "I'm sorry." "But what's the secret?" "Secret?" "(STAMMERING) Well..." "She..." "Okay." "She took my hand," "and she leaned in, real close," "and she whispered," ""I never made enough."" " She never made enough." " She..." "She never made enough." "(CARLA LAUGHING)" " What are you doing?" " I've gotta get out of here." "But what about Mark?" "I mean, why hasn't he been discharged?" "You tell me." "(SCOFFS)" "Okay, go." "Francine." "(BANG)" "Francine." " Look, Carla, it's coming out of its shell." " I learned the secret." "You did?" "(BRAKES SQUEALING)" "No!" "Francine!" "Francine, mi amorcito, mi amor." "Fucking drunk." "(CLATTERING)" "(SPEAKING SPANISH)" "No, no, no." "No." "(JORGE SPEAKING SPANISH)" "He's dead!" "(WAILING)" "(POLICE SIRENS WAILING)" "(HELICOPTER APPROACHING)" "Subtitles by LeapinLar"
