"It's a federal violation to smoke in an airplane lavatory." "As it should be." "It's a disgusting habit." "There were two of us who witnessed it." "It's your word against ours." "Come on..." "Beth." "You're so agitated." "You're not really going to arrest me, are you?" "I am." "Excuse me." "Yes?" " Can you tell me your name, please?" " I can't help you, sir." "Look, I'm not a criminal, all right?" "I'm just going through a lot of hard shit right now." "It's Janice." "It's very nice to meet you, Janice." "I only ask because when I tell this story," "I'm gonna want to know which one was the mean-ass flight attendant and which one has the kind blue eyes." "Mm..." "I have to get back to work." "Can you help me out, please?" "There's nothing I can do." "Look, I'm an addict." "Isn't it bad enough that I'm gonna die from this shit someday?" "If I could help you, I would, but I can't." "My father's dying." "He's in the hospital right now, and I'm flying back to be with him." "There's nothing more that I'd rather do than avoid it, but I can't." "And I know that this sounds incredibly absurd, but you gotta believe me." "I mean, who would lie about something like this?" "If your father's not dying, you're going to hell." "My father is dying, and I'm already in hell." "[NARRATING] He's been dying for years." "He's gotten good at it." "Doesn't mean I want to watch."

"How is this not up to you?" "[ON SPEAKER] Look, Wyatt, I have to do" " what's best for the bank." " Mr. Coleman, we all know that Frank's gonna foreclose on you, so this would all be a lot easier if you stopped posturing." "There isn't a bank in this city that would foreclose on me." "I don't need your favors." "Let's go." " I'm sorry, Robert." " Steven, sit down." "Wyatt, please." "We all have a lot at stake here, gentlemen, but I think I have a scenario in which we all can be winners." "Wyatt, you're going to sell the portfolio" " to Steven at his price." " But..." "Just..." "Steven, you're going to cut the Coleman group in for 20%, because nobody can manage these assets like they can." " Robert..." " Let me finish, will you?" "Frank, Stone Andrews is gonna write down the paper by 40%." "It's overvalued, anyway." "You know that." "The three of us are gonna form a new entity, which I will run, and this entity will build upon these assets and others which we all will contribute, and we'll use them as a foundation to buy," "with a focus on true value, every distressed piece of real estate in Manhattan." "Now, I would assume that Stone Andrews would be interested in dealing with a company like ours, so I'm going to give you first crack at the lead position for our debt financing." "Gentlemen, do we have an understanding?" "Yes." "Yes." "[ON SPEAKER] Absolutely." "Thank you, Robert." "I apologize for any misunderstanding." "Then we have a deal." "Now, if you will excuse me," "I'm taking my son to lunch." "Look at you." "Is that my tie?" "[CAR HORNS HONKING]" "Excuse me." "Jesus." "What the hell you think you doing?" "Shit." "Sorry."

"I'm very disappointed in you, Carrie." "WOMAN:" "Jonathan?" "[CLANKING]" "How long you been here?" "I don't know." "Well, when's the last time you were home?" "I said I don't know." "A day, two days, a week." "Does it matter?" "Mom, he's gonna be okay." "Relax." "Not this time." "This time, it's different." "What do you mean?" "Maybe he didn't know what he was saying." "What was he saying?" "He had an episode." "He was under a lot of stress." "[JONATHAN SIGHS]" "And?" "Have you been smoking?" "No." "Tell me you're not that stupid." "Mom..." "You have, haven't you?"

"I'll never leave you." "It's just time." "Don't say that." "What are you talking about?" "It's surgery twice a day for one, maybe two hours' consciousness." "It's not worth it." "Oh, yes, it is, God damn it." "You know, I don't complain about the pain, but it's so bad, sometimes I can't even see straight." "And when I'm on morphine, I'm just lost." "So you gotta fight." "Fought for 12 years." "I got nothing." "Let's just wait and see how you feel tomorrow." "We all knew this day was coming." "So you're quitting?" "You're just fucking quitting?" "Tomorrow morning, they're taking me off the machines." "I'm off my medication now... because I want to..." "I want to look at you all with clear eyes one last time." "You can't do this." "Karen's not even here." "Her train got in half-hour ago." "Great." "ROBERT:" "We can all do this together." "Together?" "You made me fly back here to watch you die?" "That's what this is?" " This is not about you." " Bullshit, it's not!" "You can't handle what I do!" "I'm not here sucking up to you, so this is what you do?" "I want no part of it." "You want to kill yourself, do it without me!" "Fuck you!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "GIRL:" "Hello?" "Are you all right?" "I said are you all right up there?" "I'm gonna call for help." "I'm fine." "I don't need any help, all right?" "Well, you don't sound fine." "It's okay." "I'm human." "I just don't have any hair." "You sure you're okay?" "Sometimes I come up here and scream, too." "Feel any better?" "Do you feel any better?" "Like, did the screaming help?" "Yeah, it helped." "Well, sometimes I find that it doesn't help at all." "I think it helped." "What was it?" "[SIGHS] Nothing." "What were you screaming about?" "Nothing." "Whatever." "You don't have to tell me." "I'm just some stupid kid." "Probably wouldn't understand anyway, right?" "I didn't say that." "You didn't really say anything." "Doesn't appear to be your strong suit." "Are you sick?" "No." "What are you doing here?" "Is your wife sick?" "I'm not married." "Don't get mad at me." "It's not like you're not old enough." "So..." "What?" "Why are you here?" "My dad." "How long has he got?" "[SIGHS] 24 hours." "He's offing himself." "Okay, that's pretty cool." "You got a light?" "Are you fucking kidding me?" "What?" "Am I gonna get cancer?" "Have you got a light or not?" "Are you even old enough to smoke?" "Am I old enough to die?" "Oh, I knew you were packing." "That one works every time." "So I take it it's not from smoking." "No, it's bone cancer." "I don't get it." "Where does cancer come from, anyways?" "Nobody fucking knows." "Yeah, it's fucked." "Those kids down there are, like, so young, it's depressing." "They're young?" "What about you?" "Shouldn't you be on your way to homecoming or something?" "Prom, Einstein." "Homecoming is in the fall." "But I doubt I'll be around that long." "I like to pretend it's a next form of human evolution." "We're evolved." "We're the only ones who can see life for what it truly is." "What is it?" "Shouldn't you be with your dad or something?" "Said he's got 24 hours, right?" "Yeah." "What's your problem?" "[SIGHS]" "I don't know." "If you think he wants to die, you're wrong, and if says he's not afraid, then he's lying." "So, I'm Meredith."

"Hey." "Uh..." "I thought you'd be halfway to Kennedy by now." "What, and miss the party?" " Hey, Jonathan." " Well, well, I'm really glad you're here." "He could be a witness." "DOCTOR:" "Yeah, that'll be fine." "Jonathan, I need you to witness your father making his last wishes and statement." "And keep in mind that... you may be called to testify in court that he was of sound mind when he made the statement." "Well, I don't know." "Dad, are you of sound mind?" "Yeah, you know I am." "Who started game seven for the Yanks, 2003 ALCS?" "Clemens." "What happened bottom of the eighth?" "Grady." "Grady listened to Pedro and left him in too long." "He juiced the bases, and Posada doubled to tie it up." "Who came on to relieve?" " Wakefield." " Yeah." "Then what happened?" "Aaron fucking Boone is what happened." "Aaron fucking Boone." "And we never made it, 'cause..." "Your sister tripped going through the turnstile and split her chin." "I'll never forgive her for that." "Me either." "There you have it, Doc." "Can we say tomorrow, 8 A.M.?" "I need you to say it." "ROBERT:" "Oh." "I w... want to be unhooked from these machines at 8 A.M. tomorrow." "This is my wish, and I am of sound mind."

"I have cancer." "JONATHAN:" "It's not a big deal, though." "You're not gonna die, right?" "Are you gonna die?" "I don't know." "But I... promise you, sweetheart," "I will do everything I can not to." "[CRYING]" "The doctor gave me six months." "ROBERT:" "Shh." "Okay." "John." "John, do you have any questions?" "Do I still have to play violin?" "Well, that's something you're gonna have to decide for yourself." "Okay." "Jonathan... you all right?" "Jonathan, are you all right?" "[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]" "Yeah." "Talk to me, son." "This is it." "It's not fair." "What?" "I don't know how to do this." "We just talk." "What do you want me to say?" "I'm not ready." "This wasn't how it was supposed to end." "How was it supposed to end?" "I don't know." "I'd..." "I'd have it all figured out, you know." "I'd have my shit together." "I'd be able to come back here and just maybe..." "Forgive me?" "[SCOFFS] Forgive you for what?" "Well..." "I don't know." "Whatever it is that you've been mad at me for." "Getting sick?" "Dying?" "Hey... how's the music?" "I'm not really doing the music thing anymore." "Oh." "Why?" "What are you doing?" "How are you living?" "I sort of wanted to talk to you about that." "I mean, right now, it's not the right time," " but I could sort of..." " [DOOR OPENS]" "Hey, sweetheart." "Hi, Daddy." "Wow, look at you." "Did you just come from court?" "Not exactly." "Hi." "Hey." "You give your dad a hug?" "[BOTH CHUCKLE]" "[ROBERT COUGHS]" "I really missed you, Daddy." "Missed you, too, sweetheart." "I can't let you do this." "Karen, I love you." "I love all of you, but it's my decision." "I hear you, but you're just not thinking right." "The drugs are clouding your judgment." "He's thinking as clearly as he ever does." "How do you know what he thinks like?" "I'm surprised you remember what he looks like." " Was his name on the door?" " Oh, that's cute." "Did you learn that in law school, little playground put-downs?" "You can't just waltz back in here, Jonathan, and start acting like you care." "Well, I'm not acting like anything, Karen." " I'm just saying..." " You don't have a say." "You gave up that right when you walked out on us." "Would you two just stop?" "Yeah." "Why don't you talk to him for a second before you declare him incapable of making his own decisions?" "So just let him die?" " Oh." "Just..." " Is that what you're saying?" "It is, isn't it?" "You just can't wait to get your hands on your inheritance, can you?" "You just came for your money." "I didn't need to come for the money, Karen." "I get it every fucking month in a blue envelope like you do." "I don't need his money." "I make my own." "Please." "Your fucking salary wouldn't pay for those shoes, let alone that stupid briefcase." "The shoes were on sale, and the briefcase was a gift." " Hah!" " Hey, hey." "Okay, you done?" "Yeah." "Are we done?" "Yeah." "Sorry." "ROBERT:" "No, no, it's okay." "It was kind of nice." "It's like being at home." "[KAREN CHUCKLES]" "I need to..." "I need to tell you something." "The money... is gone." "What?" "You heard me." "I gave it away." "What do you mean, gone?" "Your mother gets the house and what's left of the trust and the dividend on my life insurance policy." "Everything else, gave it away." "What do you mean, you gave it away?" "There are people who need it." "You don't need my money." "You just said so." "Why are you doing this, Daddy?" "'Cause I love you both... and I raised a couple of spoiled brats." "[SCOFFS]" "I filed an injunction this morning." "What?" "It's a preemptive measure intended to prevent Dr. Crier from performing any form of assisted suicide." "[JONATHAN LAUGHS]" "She didn't have anything to do with this." "[LAUGHS]" "God." "What's so funny?" "Nothing." "Fuck." "I need a cigarette." "KAREN:" "Unbelievable." "Your kids, man." "[CHILDREN'S MUSIC PLAYING]" "MAN:" "Ho!" "Hey, hey." "Illusion." "[UNEXCITED] Yay."

"Anybody gonna laugh?" "Ha." "Oh, you're too generous." " You're too generous." " Can I help you?" "Yeah." "I'm looking for Meredith." "Are you a relative?" "No." "She has, uh..." "She has something of mine." "Are you her boyfriend?" " [MAGICIAN WHOOPING]" " No." "Why not?" "Because I have a girlfriend back home." "I don't believe you." "Okay.

"Come on." "It's time to go." "Hey!" "[VIDEO PLAYING]" "Hey." "Hey, you." "Came to get my lighter." "You look like shit." "I do?" "Yes." "Okay." "What happened?" "My sister filed some injunction thing that's gonna keep my dad from killing himself." "Then we just found out he gave away all our money." "Really?" "Yeah." "Your dad is such a badass." "It's a little fucked up." "Why?" "Because he gave away all our money." "You had plans for it?" "Yeah." "What?" "It doesn't matter." "Whatever." "Nothing." "You wanted to do nothing." "Look, I don't just sit around, all right?" "I have things I want to do." "You need his money to do that?" "I really just came for my lighter, okay?" "Thanks." "I'm sure it's rough for you out there." "You're not the only one with problems." "My problems aren't of the trust-fund variety." "They're terminal." "Please close the door when you leave." "Look, I wanted to record an album, all right?" "And you're right." "Maybe I didn't need his money, but it would have been nice, so... have a great day." "[KEYS JINGLE]" "Jonathan?" "Emily." "Hi." "Almost didn't recognize you." "You look great." "What are you doing here?" "I live here." "I mean, we live here." "I heard." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Um, what about you?" "What are you..." " I was just walking." " Oh." "Got in this morning, so seeing Dad." "Oh, how is he?" "Is he all right?" "Not really." "He, uh..." "They want to take him off life support tomorrow, so..." "I'm sorry." "I didn't..." "It's okay." "I mean, it's time." "No, it's really terrible." "I didn't, you know..." "I tried to call you a while back." "Guess you changed your number." "No." "Yeah, I lost my cellphone and all my contacts." "You know how it is." "Yeah, I guess I do." "Well, it's been really... wow..." "really nice running into you." "Yeah, small world." "Please give my best to your dad?" "I always loved him." "They all do." "All right." "Take care." "Emily!" "Emily!" "[hip-hop music playing]" " Can I ta..." " What?" " Can I talk to you for a second?" " I really..." "I really need to..." "Why did you leave?" "It was a long time ago, Jonathan." "It's the only thing in my life that meant anything." "Please." "I need to know." "I just never got to you." "What do you mean?" "Heh." "I mean, you give so much at the start." "You have all of this charm and energy, and you're funny." "You show all of this stuff, and then that's all there is." "There's no there there." "You don't let anybody in." "Into what?" " Into your heart." " Oh, come on, Em." " That's a cliché." " No, it's not." "Yeah, it is!" "There's no "into my heart"!" "There's no place in my heart." "There's no door to my heart." "The heart's muscle." "It pumps blood." "That's all it does." "Then I was right... and that's too bad." "So..." "[BED SQUEAKING]" "So, uh... how long has it been since you've seen your sister?" "I don't know." "Before she left for Yale." "That was two years ago." "Yeah, well, it's not like she made a big effort either." "Well, she's been here." "Of course." "It's because you..." "It's because you love her more." "Oh, that's not tr..." "That's not true." "I'm not guilting you, Dad." "It's a fact." "It's like that in every family." "I don't care." "It's not true." "I never loved your sister more." "It's just that she loved me back." "Yeah, well, it's hard to love someone who's got an expiration date stamped on their forehead." "I didn't mean that." "No, it's okay." "It must have been hard for you." "[DOOR OPENS]" "How you feeling, baby?" "About half as good as I look." "Well, you look good." "Good." "Yeah." "Got some color in your cheeks." "Color?" "Eh, it's 'cause I stopped taking my medications." "Don't you think we should rethink this, based on everything that's happened?" "Based on what, the rosiness of my cheeks?" " Look at me!" " [RAPID BEEPING]" " Dad!" " Look at me!" "Stop." "I don't want to do this anymore." "Just stop." "[PANTING]" "I want you to..." "I want you to make a phone call for me." "I want to say good bye to some people." "Ira has already made some calls, but I want..." "I want you to call Allen." "Your brother Allen?" "Why?" "I wouldn't have the faintest clue how to get ahold of him." "He's in Teaneck." "He's fucking listed." "I want you to call him and tell him it's now or never, tomorrow, I'll be dead." "Ease up, Dad." "Oh, look at this." "Sticking up for his mother." "Isn't that nice?" "I liked you better on painkillers." "Yeah, seriously." "Where are they?" "I'll fucking give him some." "The hell you will." "Well, chill the hell out, all right?" "This is hard enough." "You know, it is Passover, two days..." "Dad, no..." "Why don't you pretend that I didn't waste my money on Hebrew school and organize a Seder, huh?" " Just humor me." " You're unbelievable." "You can act like you're not a Jew after I'm dead." "I asked nicely." "Yeah, you did, but this ain't no damn Kinko's, okay?" "Miss Fancy Pants want an award for asking nicely." "You realize I can hear you, right?" "What are you doing?" "I'm waiting for a fax." "No, you're not." "Now, how the hell I know you two were together?" "A couple of spoiled-ass peas in a pod." "Bitch." "[SIGHS] Where are you going?" "Dad wants to have a Seder." "Well, Passover is not till next week." "He can just wait." "How 'bout that?" "I can't let him do this." "You know that, right?" "What the fuck is taking them so long?" "When did this all become your decision?" "Should I just let him kill himself?" "Have you even looked at him, Karen?" "He's not living." "There's nothing left of him." "You're in a hurry to get back, aren't you?" "You hate it here, can't stand to be around us." "You are out of your mind." "Honestly, just go." "We've done fine without you, really." "Oh, you're just like Mom, aren't you?" "Got it all under control." "Apparently I do." "You're ridiculous." "Dick." "Where's Dr. Crier?" "NURSE:" "Sorry." "I haven't seen him." "You can't stop him from dying." "Jonathan, I don't know if you remember me." "I'm Ira Stein, your father's accountant." "Yeah." "You're the one that talked my dad into giving his money away." "I'm-Jonathan, I'm so sorry." "We got here as fast as we could." "Do you remember your cousins?" "Elizabeth, Rachel, Sarah." "Will this shift never end?" "Hey." "It's Ethan, your cousin." " Our dads are brothers." " Sorry, man." " How are you?" " Hey." " This is my fiancée Brooke." " A pleasure to meet you." "I'm so sorry to meet under such awful circumstances." "Nice to meet you." "Who are those people?" " They're our friends." " [COUGHING]" "Your family." "[SCOFFS]" "How do they know who I am?" "I've never fucking met 'em before." "They watched you get circumcised." "Dad." "They saw you play baseball." "[COUGHING]" "They're part of my legacy and part of yours, so don't throw that away." "[HARD COUGHING]" "[RAPID BEEPING]" "Dad!" " [PATS BACK]" " What's going on?" "Mom?" "I'll get the nurse." "What?" "It's all right." "[BEEPING CONTINUES]" " [COUGHING]" " It's okay." "Okay." "Jonathan!" "I shouldn't be here." "[BEEPING SLOWS]" "I can't do this." "Nonsense." "No, you're a fighter." "I love that about you." "[COUGHING]" "Bring in my friends." "ROBERT:" "Ethan, y-you're here." "Of course I'm here." "Well, no, I never would have let you come." "How's Oxford?" "It's amazing." "Who is..." "Is this Brooke?" "This is my fiancée Brooke." "Oh, wow." "Look at you." "When's the big day?" "It's June first, two days after I'm sworn in." "I'm so proud of you." "Wish I could be there." "Me, too." "You've done so much for me." "I don't know how to thank you." "Ah, you already have, son." "Listen, have you spoken to your father?" "Oh, I called, but he..." "Yeah, we... we have, too." "Listen, if I don't get a chance, would you... would you tell him that I love him, I never stopped?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I will." "Yeah." "You take good care of him for me, will you?" " I will." " I know." "You've really outdone yourself." "You know, your schooling was my gift, but find time for happiness, because the only gifts that last are memories." "Yeah." "I love you." "ETHAN:" "I love you." "[CHIP CRUNCHING]" "Next!" "You're a most generous man." "May God bless you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Is that everybody?" "I hope so." "Unless you want to throw some more money away." "Where's Rabbi Moskowitz?" " Starbucks." " CARRIE:" "What?" "!" "Why is all of these people here?" "Look, you other friends got to go." "They are disturbing the rest of my damn floor." "Well, Carrie, why don't we just take it down, all right?" "You ain't running shit up in here." "Like I said, they got to go." "Visiting hours are over." "They gotta go." "Guapo, talking about "take it down."" "No, your pretty ass better take it down before I smack that handsome off your damn face." "I mean, come on." "Knock that shit off." " [LAUGHING]" " Jesus." "You might want to stop talking to me, and y'all might want to take y'all ass home." " Seriously?" " Love the compassion, Carrie." "You can take that damn jacket off." "Keep talking, okay?" "Keep on." "[LAUGHING]" "What the hell does "guapo" mean?" "And who the hell is she talking to?" "I mean, what the fuck?" "Mom!" "[LAUGHING]" "Said, "Fuck"?" "I did." "I said, "Fuck.""

"[LAUGHING]" "[MONITOR BEEPING]" "You know, even when you were eight," "I thought you'd make a great attorney." "'Cause every time I tried to punish your brother, you'd bang on the door and scream and holler and beg me not to spank him." "I was ignorant." "ROBERT:" "Well, it worked." "He never got spanked."

"I've been in and out of this hospital for months." "First time anyone's asked me how I'm doing." "Sorry." "I know." "I'm just the caretaker." "But what happens when he's gone?" "What happens when there's no more us?" "Who am I then?" "You even care?" "Of course we care." "This is hard on all of us." "You weren't married to him for 35 years." "He was our dad, though!" "Whoa. "Was"?" "Don't put me in the ground so soon, buddy." "Seriously?" "Kidding." "And you... we're married." "We took a vow of equality, and yet you choose to exclude me from the financial decisions?"

" Okay." "Look, it's okay to be scared." "Of what?" "Of life, of... staying, leaving, being on your own." "You shared plenty." "You did." "This guy up here, he must be scared shitless." "I mean, not that he'd ever let on." "Mortality slapping him in the face for the last 12 years, I'd be pissed... like I had my life stolen from me or something." "And all this time, he's never made it about himself, not once, and even now it's about my mom, my sister and me, and that's incredible." "I just don't think that I..." "He lived for us, and... and he did the best that he could, and he never backed down from anything that he didn't think was right... and..." "I have just completely made this about me."
