"Your lungs are clear." "I got a question for you." "whose heart do I have?" "I can't tell you." "It's hospital regulations." "Just like the donor's family doesn't know your name either." "But you know." "This is your heart now." "That's all that should matter to you." "I want to know who saved my life." "You can write anonymously to the family through the donor's association."

"Your husband and your daughters were hit by a car." "we had to perform emergency surgery on your husband."

"Y'know, I've been talking to a buddy of mine about hooking you up with a job." "Been telling him all about you." "So what do you say, huh?" "I been feeling shitty about what went down." "C'mon." "I understand." "So what do you say?" "As you know, the doctors did everything they could to save your husband's life, but he has shown no brain activity." "we're here to help you... with some of the final decisions that need to be made." "we have a patient who is gravely ill." "I'm here to give you some information on organ donation." "Are you willing for your husband to donate his heart?" "Can we discuss this another time?" "I'm afraid not." "I can give you time to discuss it, but this is a decision that needs to be made soon." "Paul." "Paul, the beeper." "It's the hospital." "I think they've got a heart." "Hello?" "Yes, I'm calling on behalf of Mr. Paul Rivers." "Yes." "Okay." "Yes, I understand." "where do I have to take him?" "Good luck, my love." "Hello." "Hello." "Does your shoulder bother you?" "why?" "Because I was watching you swing before and you have a wide stroke."

"I'll see you in a bit." "Bye." "Did you go?" "Are they dead?" "I'm gonna turn myself in." "John says nobody saw you." "Nobody." "They don't know a license plate or what kind of car." "Some asshole even swears it..." "Marianne, what would you do if these were our children?" "Tell me." "But they're not." "It didn't happen to us." "No, it didn't happen to us." "It happened to me." "what the fuck do you gain by turning yourself in?" "It's my duty, Marianne." "No, Jack." "Your duty is here with us... with your family." "My duty is to God." "please." "Marianne, get out of my way." "Oh, buddy, right there." "My turn." "I think I better go back to the hospital." "what is this?" "Hey, hey!" "I thought your doctor said you're not supposed to eat that." "I'm making up for lost time." "Lost time, not lost pounds." "we'll have to send you back for liposuction." "well, here's to all those who didn't think I was gonna die, huh?" "Yeah." "And to the first day of my new life." "Yeah." "Cheers." "Congratulations." "It's good to have you home, man." "I also have an announcement to make." "I wanted to tell you that Paul and I are going to be parents." "There's a scary thought - Paul being a parent." "You kept this real quiet." "Have you told your parent's?" "No. we're going to be parents, we just don't know when yet." "I'm going to have an operation and then we're going to try artificial insemination." "Terrific." "Artificial insemination, huh?" "Professor, do your female students know you have no lead in your pencil?" "Hey." "C'mon." "Oh." "Play...nice." "Let's pass the cake around." "Mr. Donneaud?" "Mr. Rivers?" "Yeah." "Thanks for comin'." "Sorry I couldn't cancel this appointment, but the way I'm bowling' today, I probably should have." "Have a seat here." "Park it right there." "Can I bring you something to eat?" "I'm not hungry." "Honey, you need to eat something." "I'm fine, Dad." "when your mother died, I thought I wasn't going to make it." "I felt the world was falling on me and that I was never going to get up." "But sweetie, life goes on." "You know what I thought when mom died?" "I couldn't understand how you could talk to people again." "How you could laugh... again." "I couldn't understand how you could play with us." "And no - no, that's a lie." "Life does not just go on." "Louise is getting fat, don't you think?" "She's done nothing but eat since Robert left her." "what, she looks okay to you?" "why did you tell everybody we're having a baby?" "I wanted to share our plans with them." "That's what I mean." "They're our plans." "why does everyone have to know our private life?" "why the fuss?" "They're our best friends." "But we haven't even talked about it." "Oh, we haven't?" "I thought this was more than settled." "Things change, Mary." "Something we have to think about." "I don't have anything to think about." "I've already made my decision." "would you help me with the glasses?" "Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" "I'm okay, thanks." "I just want to be alone." "Cris..." "The police called." "They said you need to go and press charges." "I'll go with you if you want." "I'm not gonna do anything." "This guy was, was some ex-...con." "Are you really gonna let him just walk the streets?" "what do you want me to do?" "well, he ran over Michael and your daughters." "Maybe..." "Nothing I can do is going to bring them back." "Do you get that?" "Hey, how're you doin'?" "You find it okay?" "Yeah, I did." "The donor's name was Michael Peck." "He was thirty-seven years old, an architect and married." "This is the authorization for transplant signed by his wife,..." "Christina williams Peck." "I have a copy of the medical report if you care to see it." "And I also have the widow's phone number and address just in case you're interested." "How did Michael Peck die?" "You might have, seen it in the news-paper." "This guy named Jack..." "This guy named Jack Jordan ran over Mr. Peck ... and his two little girls October 10th at six-fifty p.m." "This Jack Jordan's a piece of work." "He's been in and out of jail since he was sixteen." "Car thief, small time crook, drugs, bad checks, alcoholism." "Last time he was in jail's only been two years ago." "You feelin' okay, Mr. Rivers?" "That's what you wanted." "He's an architect." "what's the point in getting involved?" "I just need to know who I am now." "I don't think that's the way to do it." "what is, then?" "Look for it with me." "Let's look ahead together, not behind." "Damn it, Jack, it's your birthday and you didn't even have one drink with me." "why don't you come over to my place?" "I'm having a party." "Yeah, but I bet they're all as boring as you are." "You might be surprised." "Nah, man, I'll pass." "Listen, I'll call you later about that job, okay?" "Alright." "Thank you." "Hey, Brown." "You should." "I will." "Okay, now, we can schedule the surgery, um,... I could get you in as early as Monday." "Yeah." "Nine a.m.?" "what's the percentage chance that Mary will get pregnant?" "well, I can't offer you a real number on that." "Um, y'know, there's the damage from the abortion... that wasn't handled properly - the blockage " "what abortion, Mary?" "I can explain." "Explain what?" "There is an explanation." "All the drama about artificial insemination,... the kids' names - we've got pictures of our friend's babies all over the place." "why?" "So you can flush it down the fucking toilet?" "we've been a fraud for a long time, Mary?" "Oh, yeah?" "why didn't you tell me that when you were sick?" "Or did you expect one of your girlfriends to come and take care of you?" "You came back because you wanted to." "Don't blame me for that." "I came back to take care of you because I love you." "Or because you were feeling lonely." "I'm sorry." "we can't keep going like this." "The insemination, the child." "I think we're trying to put a band-aid on something that's just been bled dry." "It's finished." "But it isn't finished, if we give it a chance and have this baby." "But when we could have, you didn't want to." "we were separated, goddamn it." "It's different now." "Yes. lt's different." "You ready to go?" "You only know how to think about yourself." "Close six." "well, thanks for finally seeing me." "They tell me you don't want to eat." "I'm not hungry." "Jack, Jesus didn't come to free us from pain." "He came to give us the strength to bear it." "Maybe He wanted this pain for me." "No, He had nothing to do with this." "It was an accident." "No, it wasn't an accident." "Jesus chose me for this." "Jack - ask for the mercy of Jesus Christ." "If it was an accident, why do I have to ask for His mercy?" ""l will have mercy on whom I will have mercy." "I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion."" "Don't be so prideful." "That's a sin." ""And the fearful, and unbelieving,..."" ""and the abominable, and murderers and the warmongers and the sorcerers and idolaters and "" "Jesus, Jesus came to save us, not to damn us." "the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."" "Revelation 21 .8." "Jesus loves you,... but He also knows how to punish arrogant sinners like you." ""As many as I love I rebuke and chasten." Revelation 3.19." "Jesus betrayed me." "Stop that shit or you're going straight to hell." "Hell?" "This is Hell." "Right here." "You're damning your soul." "You shut up now and ask Christ to forgive you." "Hey!" "Forgive me?" "I did everything he asked me to do." "I changed." "I gave Him my life." "And He betrayed me." "He put that fucking truck in my hands... so I could carry out His will, made me kill that man and those girls." "But hey, He didn't give me the strength to stay and save them." "Don't blaspheme, you bastard." "Christ had nothing to do with this." "God even knows when a single hair moves on your head." "And you taught me that." "I'm gonna pray for you, Jack." "Just like old times, huh?" "where the hell have you been?" "Did you end up marrying that hunk you brought around here last time?" "Yep." "Yeah?" "is he a good lay?" "How they make us suffer, huh?" "That's alright." "I got some great candy for you." "Special K, angel dust." "And your old-time favorite." "And..." "And I got the newest of the new,..." "R-2." "This shit's all the rage." "You take two of these, you go straight to heaven." "I'm not into chemicals." "Cristi, you're not a cuddly little kitty, now, are you?" "Look, if you don't like 'em, you don't pay for 'em." "That's my girl." "Busy." "Hey, go easy on the booze tonight, right?" "what the fuck?" "what the fuck are you doing?" "You're in no condition to drive." "what do you care, asshole?" "I can get you a cab." "I don't need a fucking taxi." "Just gimme the glass, ma'am." "That way you won't " "Stupid fucking asshole!" "Move your car!" "I'm fine." "Get away from my car." "There's no damage." "Jesus." "There's no damage." "Excuse me, I know her." "I can drive her home." "Excuse me." "is this any of your business?" "I'm your friend, Paul, from the sports club." "Yeah, well " "Remember?" "Yeah, well, can, can you tell these assholes to get away from me?" "Yeah, okay." "I'll drive her home." "It's not a big deal." "Okay?" "You can't drive like this." "what do you care?" "You're gonna get arrested." "Let me drive you." "Please." "Damn it." "I sold the truck to pay for the lawyer." "I didn't ask for a lawyer." "Marianne, I didn't ask for a lawyer." "You want your children to spend another two years without you?" "is that what you want?" "This is God's will." "So be it." "Two years ago, you didn't believe in anything." "Now everything has to do with God." "I think I preferred you the way you were before." "I was a fucking pig before." "is that what you prefer?" "At least it was you." "Now I don't have the slightest fucking idea who you are." "Life has to go on, Jack, with or without God." "Hey, how you doin'?" "How are you?" "Fine." "were you able to find anything out?" "Jack Jordan's livin' in a cheap motel lost out in the middle of nowhere." "Phone records." "One of his prison fishy pals is from there." "That was quick." "Just a matter of checkin' the calls." "Phone number and address for the motel he's living in." "Here's a pretty recent photo of Jordan." "It was taken the last time he was in jail." "were you able to get that other thing that I asked about?" "This is a plain gun, no record." "They call this an orphan." "It is loaded." "whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa..." "Careful, there, Hoss." "You don't have to cock it." "Just pull the trigger to shoot it." "This releases the cylinder." "Yeah. I think you're set to go." "That's all I want to know." "Thank you." "Good luck to ya." "Cristina Peck." "Ma'am, it's been an hour since I called." "46 St. Vincent Street." "Thank you." "Hello." "Hello." "Boy, some rain." "Do you not have your car?" "No, but... my taxi will be here in a minute." "I'm right over here." "I can give you a lift if you like." "No, thanks." "I'm the guy who drove your car home last week." "I'm sorry, I don't remember." "I left my jacket with you." "I'm sorry - l'll bring it by tomorrow." "You sure I can't give you a ride?" "I'm right here." "Or do you want to swim?" "Okay." "Hello." "Thanks." "You're very welcome." "Let me just give you my cell phone number... so you can have it." "would you have lunch with me tomorrow?" "what for?" "Uh, you're gonna have to eat at some point and I'm very worried about those kidneys." "C'mon." "Lawrence's, two o'clock." "It's very near by." "Please." "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." "Great."

"Leave it to me, Marianne." "Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't." "Everybody reacts differently." "That's why you've been vomiting so much." "So, what are you saying?" "I've got to change medication?" "Okay, I'm gonna be frank with you, Paul." "The heart that you're carrying is gonna give out soon." "I need you to stay in the hospital until I can find you another heart." "You want me to wait for a new heart." "we don't have another choice." "I can't do that." "I can't wait for someone else to die locked up in a fucking room." "I can't, I can't do it." "You're dangerously close to heart failure, Paul." "You might die a lot sooner than you think." "Let me ask you something." "And I want you to be really honest with me, okay?" "If I stay, will I be saved?" "I can't guarantee it." "But if you don't come back to the hospital, you're condemning yourself to a terrible death." "Your heart won't work anymore." "You'll die, asphyxiated - lt's an awful death, Paul." "You can't imagine it." "At least here, we could help you." "You can help me die better." "That's what you're saying." "You can help me die better." "well, I'm not gonna do that." "Okay?" "I'd rather die outside." "I'm not gonna do it again." "How much did the lawyer charge?" "Marianne." "How much did the fucking lawyer charge?" "Enough." "How much is enough, Marianne?" "Enough so your children can remember your fuckin' face." "You keep asking stupid questions I'm gettin' out at the next corner." "Hey, guys, we are in home." "Daddy... what did you bring us?"
