"What have I done?" "We've been able to manage your disease, for ten years." "But now, the chemotherapy is no longer controlling the cancer." "The disease has spread to the lungs and spine, and two vertebrae have already been affected." "Now, it's the chemotherapy, which is making you weak and feeble." "That's why we have to stop it." "So what do we do?" "The best thing medicine can offer you is a bone marrow transplant." "We don't do that here yet." "So, I want you to go to America for the procedure." "The risk of fatality is very high, but if you don't do this, everything is gonna be very quick." "I don't wanna die in the hospital." "I wanna die at home." "And what if he doesn't do the transplant, what happens then?" "You've got two or three months to live." "It's your choice." "What kind of bullshit medicine do you practice, that you can't even cure me?" "I want you to know, that if one of us had to die," "I'd rather it were me, not you." "Truth is, if one of us is gonna die, it's gonna be me." "Not you." "I'll tell you another thing:" "You're lying." "If one of us has to die, I'd rather it'd be you, not me." "I want to stay alive." "And who are you?" "I've just been told I have three months to live." "You won't die, because death doesn't exist." "Let's pray together." "I'm here to celebrate the union in marriage of Livia and Diego." "That your bodies and hearts be one, until death do you part." "Livia Monteiro Bueno, is it of your own free will that you take Diego to be your legitimate spouse?" "Yes." "Diego Fairman, is it of your own free will that you take Livia to be your legitimate spouse?" "Yes." "Considering these affirmations made by each of you before me," "I declare you man and wife." "I've known this bastard since he arrived in Brazil and some shit illness isn't going to take away the finest of our generation." "I know he's gonna beat it." "I propose a toast, to the groom, to the bride, that at this moment is shamessly getting married." "Livia, my dear, please say something!" "Say what?" "That during my rebellious years, I did everything" "I wanted to, and then some?" "And I have no regrets." "But I should confess you that ever since I was a girl I always dreamed of a white wedding with a nice dress and all the trimmings." "I knew the minute I met this sonofabitch," "Now my husband, that he was sick." "I abandoned a marriage and brought with me a son, our Daniel, to live with him." "And today, he has made me his wife and the happiest woman in the world." "I guess this is my turn." "I'd like to toast to all of you, my friends, who in a way, are characters in the story of my life." "And of course, I want to toast this unbearably lovely woman, who I desire so much, and I want to make the happiest person in the world and fulfill all her dreams." "I love you, Livia." "A moment of silence, please!" "My love, I have a confession to make:" "I've already cheated on you." "That's allright." "I cheated on you too." "I'd like to propose a round of applause for Dona Sebastiana, who prepared this magnificent fiest." "I love cooking." "I love it, don't I?" "When I asked my mother for the recipe, she refused." "That way, she said, when she died," "I'd have something to remember her by." "Try the Brunello, Diego." "You can feel the nice long finish it has." "Aromas of rancid olives and sleepy hazelnuts, lying on a bed of Roman cow dung in the moonlight." "96 points." "Robert Parker." "It's good." "Hello everybody." "Hello, We're so late, I'm so sorry." "You know, we were shooting just down the street." "But I didn't even have time to change." "We simply couldn't miss your wedding." "Manuela, those two, who are they?" "Oh, they're that couple from the soap opera." "They are such stars." "Oh, really?" "I propose a toast." "To Antonio, who is helping our brother Diego, in times of need." "To my mother, who raised three sons in difficult times." "And to you, Diego, I hope you come home soon." "To family." "I would like you to take a good look at this man, because I'm going on a trip, and I'm not sure there's a way back." "Oh, and before I forget, you can all go to hell!" "This is Diego's brother, to whom he hasn't spoken over ten years, and he's gonna be the donor." "Diego blames him for their father's death." "He was the favorite son." "He lost everything their father had, gambling." "That's terrible." "You think he's coming back?" "Probably not." "I don't know." "And if he does, it's not going to be easy for him." "That champagne is really good, where does it come from?" "It was my wedding present." "Not my farewell present?" "You decide." "I decide." "That's a good one." "Hey Gabi, you remember that night we were sitting around the hotel pool, and you started screaming, because that naked German guyslapped you, because you wouldn't suck his cock?" "That night you really went up in my esteem." "Common Diego, how little you know me?" "I know you." "Yeah, you do." "You know why I didn't suck his cock?" "You tell me." "Yeah, because I don't like soft cocks, baby." "Don't look at me like that!" "I only like hard ones!" "Me too, me too." "Can you believe it?" "He says I'm jealous of him." "You think a woman like me needs to be jealous of a guy like this?" "Ouch." "He's the one who should be jealous of me." "I heard you have the most gorgeous breasts in the world," "Is it true?" "I have, do you wanna see?" " No, don't do that." "Come on." " Shhhh, shut up." "Do you wanna see?" "Yes or no?" "Yes, I do!" "Yes!" "Stop that, honey, you're drunk." "Stop it." "Allright, allright, party's over." "Get out, I want a man who's jealous of me!" "I know you saw my movie and I know you didn't like it, that's why you didn't say anything, right?" "So I'll tell you, you didn't understand a damn thing." "That's why you have to see it again." "If you really wanna know, I'll tell you:" "I did see it again and that screenplay you gave me to read, wasn't the film you made." "The movie you made was more like a feature length mayonnaise commercial." "You're just an ad man who's gotten rich selling crap to people who have nothing to eat." "You say one more word, I'll stand up and leave." "All I wanna know is what are you going to do with the tux you bought to go to the Oscars?" "The only reason I don't beat you up, is because I know you're gonna die soon." "Did I ever tell you the one about my uncle Samuel who went in for heart surgery?" "Did I ever tell you the one about my uncle Samuel going into heart surgery?" "He's a drag!" "Hey, there's nothing we can do." "I'm scared." "I've got a bad feeling about this." "Won't you ever deign to make a film with me?" "We find a good story, we'll do it." "It's my greatest dream." "I'd do anything to be directed by you." "Anything?" "Go to the bathroom, I'll meet you there." "Where is mother?" "She already left with Antonio." "She said you didn't thank him." "I don't know what to say." "I hope things work ok for you." "Hey little fella!" "I married your mother." "What do you think about that?" "It was about time." "Your mom and I are going away tomorrow." "Everything will go on as usual here." "Dona Sebastiana will look after you." "You'll continue to go to school and play soccer." "I have to go away, because I'm very sick." "Are you going to die?" "Maybe." "It's for you." "Hello, good morning." "I'm Dr. Mary Flowers, your oncologist." "From now on you're under my care." "I'll try to explain quickly what we're going to do." "Right now, we're introducing a catheter into your torax to reach your vena cava, and from now on, all your medication and blood tests will be administered by this means." "We'll start with a total body irradiation, and then induce intensive chemotherapy treatment." "Our objective is to eliminate your red and white blood cells and the platelets already contaminated with the disease." "Only then, we will be able to perform the transplant itself." "The donor's cells will enter your blood stream and start a battle with the cancer cells which survived our treatment." "Out of this entire shock procedure, we'll start creating a new immune system." "Any questions?" "No." "So that's the transplant?" "It's a matter of creating a new person in a body which is currently sick, yes." "And what about me?" "Cause I've been here for three days and no one's told me anything." "Oh, you like boxing, hum?" "Well, now the bell has rung and they've taken away your stool." "We'll take good care of you." "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Good morning, how are you doing?" "Good." "Please, sign here _uthorizing us to use drugs not yet approved by the FDA." "Are you allergic to anything?" "Yes." "What?" "Boring people." "This other one exempts this institution of any responsibility in case of death." "If you are incapacitated or go into a vegetative state, whom do you nominate to take responsibility on your behalf?" "Ok." "Thank you very much." "Have a good one." "Thank you." "The risks of infection during a bone marrow transplant are very high." "And an infection is not something we'd want just now." "I'm Dr. Isaac, your infectious disease specialist." "And I'll be supervising your case." "Yeah." "Looks like we have a peeping tom here." "Stop it." "Yes we do, yes we do." "Good morning, I'm Dr. Morris." "This is my assistant, Virginia." "Good morning." "She's going to install this bag, with a morphinebased analgesic, which regulates the dosage that will keep you free of pain." "If you feel any pain, you just use the pump, and you increase the amount you receive." "On a scale of one to ten, how much pain would you'd say you're feeling right now?" "I'd say ten, so I can use the pump." "Then we have a problem, because the treatment hasn't even started." "And once it does, don't get too excited." "The machine is regulated to a limit, since an overdose might cause a heart attack." "If the pain persists, we'll have to give you something stronger which will leave you unconscious." "And please, don't hesitate to send for me anytime." "Dr. Morris, pain and drugs." "We're removing a sample of your bone marrow to know whether it is contaminated with cancerous cells." "I've applied a local anesthesia that works subcutaneously but it doesn't work on the bone." "You'll feel a strong pinch, so I want you to take a deep and slow breath." "Here we go." "Almost there." "Hold on." " Good morning." " Good morning." "The red and white blood cell counts are practically zero." "The donor has reacted very well to the production accelerators of cells that will be used for his transplant." "Everything's going fine." "What's this treatment you're giving me?" "Cause all I do is sleep." "Oh, that's perfectly normal." "I see him in so much pain at night and I'm not sure if he understands what I'm saying." "I think he does." "Mr. Fairman, I'm Dr. Mary Flowers." "We're here looking after you." "Do you understand what I'm saying?" "See, he does understand." "That's about it." "All we can do now is wait." "I've got to think of my family." "I have children to raise." "So, what if I die?" "I am a real estate agent in the suburbs and my brother is a famous movie director." "You're crazy!" "You don't know what you're talking about." "You know he's going to die if we don't do the transplant." "I don't care." "He doesn't talk to me." "To this day he blames me for father's death." "Now that he needs me, he remembers that I exist." "I already told you." "I want a million dollars or I'm going home tomorrow." "I want a check of a million in my wife's hands, or I'm not doing the transplant." "But you know we don't have that sort of money." "You know that." "What do you mean?" "How much that house you live in, worth?" "Who the fuck are you?" "Out, out, out!" "Are you crazy?" "I can't understand where all this hatred is coming from!" "We grew up together, we shared everything." "We're blood brothers for God's sake!" "All that he has, he worked for." "He never stole anything." "We've reduced the morphine dosage, which was very high." "He'll feel pain again but there's nothing we can do." "At high levels, the morphine can cause a lack of oxygen in his blood and this may lead to a cardio respiratory arrest." "I got the money." "Tomorrow it'll be in your wife's hands." "But think about it:" "What's your brother going to think when he finds out you charged a million dollars to save his life?" "Mind if I smoke?" "First time in the States?" "No." "I've been here many times." "How did you find out you were sick?" "I was having dinner with some friends, one of their wife's was a doctor." "She saw something ugly on my neck and she said: "I don't like this." ""When they finished the procedure it was much bigger than they expected." "They put me to sleep and when I woke up there was a doctor there telling me it was very serious." "It's just like that." "Always the same." "You never know what's going to happen tomorrow." "Who are you?" "I came to take you." "Take me where?" "What if I told you I don't want to go?" "That's what they all say." "What am I supposed to do?" "What I'd like to know is why me." "There is no logic." "Maybe someone denounced you." "I just obey orders." "I'd like to speak to your supervisor." "Sounds like you want to complicate things." "But I should tell you, if you don't come with me now, old age is pretty ridiculous and undignified." "Who do you work for?" "A multinational enterprise." "We are market leaders." "Market?" "What market is that?" "Market." "The market is the market." "And who invented that market?" "The market was created by the market itself." "Back to the caveman days, when a man exchanged something with another man, they created the market." "And profit drives the market." "And you cannot argue with that because profit is sacred." "God's behind everything." "I don't get extra money for philosophy classes." "So, shall we?" "I'd like to brush my teeth before leaving." "You mind?" "And who is she?" "Oh, that's Sissy." "My little girl." "She's been with me since she was born." "She looks very much like her mother." "Everyone tells me that." "Same eyes." "August the 6th." "Remember the date well." "From now on, it's going to be your new birthday." "And now?" "What do I do?" "There's nothing you can do." "Now it's up to him." "This woman?" "Who is she?" "I don't know." "It's a woman who follows me around the whole goddamn time." "She's stuck on me." "I never told her "I love you" and I never said to her "I don't love you"." "Since we're gonna be together forever, could you tell me where we're heading after we leave here?" "Hold on, wait a second." "Who said forever?" "Is there something else that you don't wanna tell me?" "I just don't know." "They never told me and I never asked." "Look, I'm only doing this because it's steady work, right?" "I get my paycheck, vacation and this year, a bonus trip to Disneyland for good work." "And what does good work mean?" "I cannot say." "Not authorized." "My contract has a confidentiality clause." "I just do my job." "I show up, no questions, don't talk to anyone." "When my boss arrives, I hide so I don't have to say good morning," "I'm afraid he'll fire me." "I spend hours staring at the wall outside my window." "When they remember me, they ask me to go and fetch someone." "You know, it's a job I'd rather not do." "Why do you do it, then?" "You have a family to support?" "I have no family, no house, no one." "I have a son, but we had a fight and we don't talk anymore." "I think he's a skydiver." "I just have this extremely jealous woman who always wants to know what I do, whom I talk to and where I go." "You know how women are, right?" "I guess." "I'm a happy man." "What about you?" "Me?" "Only on Mondays." "What do you do?" "I'm a film director." "Wow." "Super!" "Are you famous?" "I used to be." "In my town there was a cinema, but I never went." "Now, it's an evangelical church." "Do you play chess?" "Dr., he's back." "Say something, my love." "What's happening?" "Does he have a fever, is he cold, what is it?" "Would you get some warm blankets, please?" "What's going on?" "We have to stop this infection as quickly as possible." "So, we'll be starting on a broadspectrum antibiotic and take him to intensive care immediately." "His blood pressure is falling" "The oxygen level is very low and his heart beat is weak." "We're unable to contain the infection and we may lose the patient." "I'm Doctor Feffer and I'm Jewish, as I believe you are." "My whole family died in the Warsaw ghetto and I was brought up in an orphanage in London, where I graduated in medicine." "I emigrated to the United States and am one of the founders of this institute." "We've won a Noel Prize for our research into blood." "So here, we believe only in science." "But my years of experience as a doctor, have also taught me that those who still have a dream to fulfill," "have a better chance of survival." "It's so dark here." "Can I turn on the light?" "Do you like soccer?" "Not really." "And you?" "I did when I was a boy." "I was the goalkeeper." "But one day the ball hit me in the face" "I quit that shit and never wanted to play again." "That makes two of us." "Tell me, is there life after death?" "As I told you, I know nothing." "I lied to you when I said I'd never been to the cinema." "I saw a film of yours." "Do you remember which one?" "I don't remember the name, but I never forgot a scene with a big boy sitting, fully dressed, in a woman's arms, being breastfed." "Can I ask you something?" "Would it be too much to ask you to fetch me some other time?" "I still want to make one more film." "What film is that?" "Is it a film to badmouth me?" "No." "I have nothing against you." "I just don't wanna die." "I still wanna make another film." "Can't you take someone else?" "I've enjoyed meeting you." "I'd never had a chance to meet an artist before." "You're real people." "You're someone like us." "I'll say I couldn't find you." "Check." ""Heaven, I'm in heaven," "and my heart beats so that I can't hardly speak." "And I seem to find the happiness I seek," "When we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek."" ""Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can't hardly speak." "And I seem to find the happiness I seek, as we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek."" ""Heaven, I'm in heaven and my heart..." "Mr. Fairman." "Mr. Fairman, please, it's three in the morning." "Let's get back to sleep." "Mr. Fairman." "When we're out together, dancing cheek to cheek."" ""Heaven, I'm in heaven, and my heart..."" "Yes?" "Yes, I'm here with him." "Oh, this waiting is hell." "No, no, we don't know yet." "It's serious." "Yes, that might happen." "You mean 83, 84?" "Exactly." "Queen at the Hyde Park?" "Yeah." "I was there too." "It's an amazing coincidence!" "What were you doing in London back then?" "I was studying at the Royal School of Visual Arts." "Oh yeah, that's right, that's right." "You know what?" "Maybe you could show me a photo someday." "Why don't we have some coffee?" "Have you spoken to Daniel?" "So that Doctor Pain and Drugs, you find him charming?" "Never thought about it." "Would you really fuck a guy that wears a Donald Duck pattern tie?" "I don't know, but I could give it a try and let you know." "It's been so long that I've forgotten what it's like." "No more running for him." "Diego!" "Oh look, look." "See?" "There." "It doesn't hurt at all." "He's not crying." "Yeah, all done." "What's your name?" "This is my town and I don't want you sleeping in a hotel." "While you're here I want you to be comfortable." "I've made all the arrangements, you're staying at our place!" "You'll have everything you need." "Just wait until you see wat we've done with your bedroom!" "I'm so happy you're coming." "You're gonna love it!" "On Friday, we're organizing a charity dinner for the children of Africa." "Hey, they've just got outta hospital." "Give them a break." "It's always the same with you." "I can't say a god damn word without him getting mad at me." "It's so revolting that while we have so much, there are millions of children in Africa who haven't enough to eat." "Which is why I decided to have this dinner to raise funds to help them." "Leslie, he's an artist." "Stop bugging him with politics." "But it's not about politics." "It's about starving children." "Each guest will pay ten thousand dollars not to eat." "Five meal will be served and each meal you miss, you pay another two thousand." "My idea is that at the end of the dinner, you'll feel so hungry, that you'll actually know what those kids are going through." "And that will give you the right to sponsor a child who'll then write to you and the money will pay for his basic needs and education." "Just listen to this!" "This way." "From now on, this is your home." "Let's go see the room I got ready for you!" "Ha?" "How about that?" "I bought it in an auction." "It's from the set of a 30's movie with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire." "I hope you like it." "You are one big hearted son of a bitch." "Thank you." "The first film I ever saw, I was about your age." "It was a black and white film." "It was night, a frightened girl was running along a deserted breach," "she was looking behind her as if someone was chasing her." "She wore a tight sweater, a black belt and a full skirt which billowed in the wind." "There was a group of boys in a car." "They were drinking, laughing shouting." "She was running away, scared of them." "Their car got closer and closer, and then she fell, exhausted." "The car circled around her the boys were laughing and shouting." "And then the car stopped." "And one of the boys went to her." "She started crying, desperately." "Sitting in the sand." "And what happened to her?" "You know, I don't remember, but" "I do remember when she got home, she went in the back door, she went and saw her parents watching Television in the living room and then she cracked upstairs to her bedroom so she wouldn't be seen." "Hey, I hope I'm not disturbing you." "I told them, that a friend of mine had died and had resuscitated and they were just so excited." "They were dying to meet you." "So, this is Herbert Spencer, he's the head of the Contemporary Art Museum," "Judith Salton, Yuri Yurnikoff, Martha Robinson," "Of Robinson stores, this is Mitsy, who runs the bank of America." "This is Jack McDowell, his grandfather started the BBA network here." "His father was fucking Marilyn Monroe." "Is what Leslie told us, true?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "Didn't you go there and come back?" "Go where?" "Didn't you die and come back?" "Oh yes, I did died." "But only for an instant." "What's it like there?" "Anything you can tell us?" "I didn't get to heaven." "I only got as far as purgatory." "That's where they judge what we do on Earth." "Those who don't help their neighbors, go to a small room with on windows or air conditioning." "But those who helped the starving, they get a suite with air conditioning and a minibar." "And what's the weather like, up there?" "It's hot." "But is there a breeze?" "Hm, from time to time." "Are the Jews mixed in with everyone else?" "I don't know, I never saw one." "But if you want to go shopping, do they take American Express?" "You better taking off cash." "May we take a picture with you?" "Ok." "If we can do it quickly." "Please." "Get in your spots." "Ok." "Smile!" "Cheers!" "Ah, great." "Fantastic." "Leslie?" "Yeah." "Annie from Vanity Fair is looking for you." "Oh, great." "Come on." "Come on everyone!" "Yes, we're coming." "Excuse me, and was God there?" "No, he was at his AA meeting." "We're in Russia." "Everything is covered with snow." "There is a strong wind." "In the distance, we see a little house and there's a bright yellow light, coming from the window." "A door bangs loudly." "In the bedroom, a baby sleeps in his crib, nice and warm under his blanket, he's thinking of his pony who must be cold." "He crawls down the stairs and he goes outside." "Crawls through the snow and all the way to the stable, where he sees his pony lying in the straw, looking up at him, freezing to death." "He covers him." "He turns to go back, but he can't find the house," "Because it's covered with snow." "He has nowhere to go." "He's lost, he finds a path and starts to crawl on it." "Faster and faster, because it's so cold." "And then, all of the sudden, he sees the light of the sun coming up from behind the village." "He crawls all the way to the village." "Very hungry, he crawls down the deserted main street until he gets to the bakery." "He comes in and there he looks up and sees a frightening man with a moustache who says:" ""What do you want, little boy?"" ""I'm hungry, I'd like a bottle of hot chocolate"." ""Do you have any money?" the man says." ""No"." ""Well, if you have no money, then you must go someplace else." "We have no hot chocolate for you here"." "And then, all of the sudden, his father comes in, picks his son up in his arms and placing a ten rubble bill on the counter, he says: "I want you to get a nice bottle of hot chocolate for my son."" "You're being well looked after." "Your mother is here, your friends are taking good care of you..." "You don't need me anymore, ok?" "We're at war, we're at sea." "The sea is rough." "Bombs light up the dark sky." "One of the German bombs hits our aircraft carrier." "Jump into the lifeboat!" "All right!" "Row, row fast!" "But row faster!" "Ok!" "Faster, faster..." "I can't row any faster..." "Wake up!" "You silly old man..." "Ok." "Oh, look, the bright sunlight." "Look, a big wave!" "Send us to the sea." "Oh, wonderful!" "To the shore." "Way to the beach." "Put your weapon above your head, so it won't get wet." "Grenade ready?" "Throw it!" "All right, let's attack!" "Attack!" "Open, I'll get you covered!" "Go, go, go!" "We killed them!" "Better them, then us, right?" "Yes!" "All right there, partner." "I grew up in Argentina, in a seaside town called "Mar del Plata"." "The town faced the sea and filled up with tourists in the summer." "In the winter, it was deserted." "You could walk through the dark streets without seeing a soul." "It was like a ghost town." "Look what I made you:" "Strudel!" "I remembered, you like it with tea." "Mom, can't you see I'm writing?" "Please go away." "Mom, I already told you!" "Leave me alone, please." "I'm working!" "When I'd get home from school, after lunch," "I used to move the hands of the kitchen clock to 3 p.m., the time of the first show at the cinema." "But when I got there, the cinema was still closed, so I'd look at the movie posters, imagining their stories." "One night, returning home," "I saw a bright light at the end of the street." "When I got closer," "I saw a long track on the ground with an enormous camera mounted on the top, coming in my direction." "On the far side of the camera it was pouring rain, and there was a man with a long raincoat and a hat, soaking wet, cigarette in his mouth, walking alongside the camera towards a mysterious woman waiting for him in the rain." "When he reached her, the camera stopped and moved closer." "She started crying and then she kissed him passionately." "The play's main character was my age, and was saying Goodbye to his mother and sister through a window, without being heard." "He told them to forgive him for abandoning them." "But that he had to leave, othewise he'd stay forever." "The next day, I took a bus and left, and I only came back 20 years later." "It's good to have you back home, sir." "Good to see you too, Ademir." "I'm doing research with HIV prisoners in Carandiru jail." "In one cell, made for four, there are 17." "Sex and drugs are nonstop." "A needle is used on at least four arms and rates of infection are high." "They have sex in jail, are infected and then on Sundays, they see their wives for con jugal visits and infect them." "You should write about that." "Don't you think it's a supremely insignificant in the history of humanity that you ran 8 seconds faster than you did 20 years ago?" "We're never gonna have another Fellini film, think of that." "That's what matters." "Today I tripped on the street, fell down and couldn't get up again." "I had to ask for help." "I never felt so humiliated in all my life." "I can't take care of you the whole time." "I don't need you to take care of me." "That's great to know now, cause that's what I've been doing all these years." "It was you, your work, your illness." "I've always stood beside you." "Do you mean you no longer want to be beside me?" "I'm not answering that question." "I thought that if I stood beside you, you'd survive." "It was at the hospital that I realized that your life didn't depend on my love." "And that freed me." "Your life belongs only to you." "Now I have to take care of mine." "You're just saying that, because we haven't fucked for five years, aren't you?" "Come on."
