- PREVIOUSLY ON THE BIG C...

THIS IS OVER $5,000.

- I'M SORT OF A SILENT PARTNER

IN THIS UNDER-THE-TABLE THING

A COUPLE GUYS HAVE GOING AT WORK.

- OUR CLIENT PAID US WITH THIS.

YOUR CUT.

- I'M MAKING UP NEW FLYERS.

- WAIT, HAVE YOU SEEN HIM, THOUGH?

BECAUSE MY MOM'S ALL FREAKED OUT ABOUT HIM.

- I WANT YOU TO BE MY WIFE. - [softly scoffs]

- WE MET ONLINE. - AT A CHAT ROOM

FOR KIDS WITH PARENTS WHO HAVE CANCER.

- YOU HAVE CANCER? - NO, SILLY, I'M THE KID.

- I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR YOU.

- I TOLD YOU I'M NOT DOING ANYMORE TREATMENT.

- FINE! YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

- THANK YOU.

- HOW ABOUT ITALY FOR CHRISTMAS?

- YES! - WE'RE GOING TO ITALY!

- AM I CRAZY? - DEEP BREATH.

- [inhales] - THAT HURT?

- NO. YOU THINK I'M CRAZY.

- TO GO TO ROME FOR CHRISTMAS?

NO, I THINK IT'S TERRIFIC. HAVE A GREAT TIME.

SIT UP. - WHAT IF SOMETHING

HAPPENS TO ME OVER THERE? - I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

- YOU DO KNOW I HAVE TERMINAL CANCER, RIGHT?

- OH, YOU KNOW, I WAS WONDERING, WOULD YOU MIND

COMING AND TALKING TO MY MED SCHOOL CLASS?

I LIKE TO BRING PATIENTS IN AND LET THE KIDS LEARN

WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.

- YOU MEAN, LIKE A SPECIAL GUEST STAR?

- YEAH, RIGHT. - I'D BE HONORED.

- GOOD, GOOD, THE GAL UP FRONT WILL GIVE YOU THE DETAILS.

- HAVE YOU HEARD FROM LEE? - WHO?

- LEE. LEE FALLON.

HE DROPPED OUT OF THE TRIAL. - OH, RIGHT, RIGHT.

NO. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KEEP TRACK.

NO, I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM HIM.

[door closes abruptly]

- NOW, I KNOW IT'S ONLY THE 18TH,

BUT WE EITHER OPEN OUR PRESENTS EARLY...

OR WE GET FORCED TO OPEN THEM IN FRONT OF THE TSA AGENTS,

WHICH IS NOT A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- THE OUTSIDERS?

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS?

- WELL, YOU COULD READ IT.

OR YOU COULD USE IT TO POUND THINGS, LIKE A CHIMPANZEE.

- DUDE, THAT IS A TEENAGE CLASSIC.

I MEAN, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

PONYBOY? TWO-BIT? SODAPOP?

I AM DEFINITELY TAKING THIS ON THE PLANE.

- [chuckles]

UH, SO WHO ARE THOSE FOR?

- OH, THESE ARE FOR UNCLE SEAN.

FOR WHEN HE GETS BACK.

CHRISTMAS IS ONE OF HIS FAVORITE HOLIDAYS.

AS A KID, HE'D UNWRAP MY PRESENTS

AND THEN HE WOULD REWRAP SOMETHING FROM AROUND THE HOUSE

AND PUT IT BACK UNDER THE TREE WITH MY NAME ON IT.

LIKE A DOORKNOB.

OR AN EXTENSION CORD.

- OKAY, I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH,

AND I FOUND THE MOST AMAZING PLACE OFF THE CAMPO DE'FIORI.

AL MORO.

THEY APPARENTLY HAVE A HISTORIC...

PASTA DE CARBONARA.

WE ARE GOING TO EAT LIKE EMPERORS, MAN.

AND IF I WERE YOU, BUDDY, I WOULD DEFINITELY

PACK A PAIR OF PANTS THAT HAS AN ELASTIC WAISTBAND.

BECAUSE I AM.

- ADAM... WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

- TRAINING.

YOU KNOW, I HEARD EVEN, LIKE, THE BABIES DRINK WINE IN ITALY.

- MM, WELL, YOU'RE NOT IN ITALY.

- [gasps] A DESIGN PORTFOLIO!

OH, MY GOD! IT'S NICE!

THANK YOU, MR. AND MRS. J!

- WELL, IF YOU'RE GOING TO FASHION SCHOOL,

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FASHIONABLE PORTFOLIO.

I WISH YOU WOULD COME WITH US.

I HATE THE IDEA OF YOU BEING HERE ALONE.

- I WON'T BE ALONE.

I'M SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH MY FIANCE.

OH, GOD, I LOVE SAYING THAT!

FIANCE, FIANCE, FIANCE.

- I HOPE MY NEXT GIFT IS A BARF BAG.

[chuckles]

[numbers beeping]

- LEE, IT'S CATHY.

I'M PRETTY SURE WE'RE STILL NOT SPEAKING,

BUT I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT THANKS TO YOU,

I JUST HAD A FANTASTIC BAROLO.

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I...I HAVE A GIFT FOR YOU, IF YOU EVER CALL ME BACK.

WELL, THAT JUST SOUNDED LIKE A BRIBE, DIDN'T IT?

AH...I'M THINKING OF YOU.

[sewing machine hums]

NOT TOO LATE TO CHANGE YOUR MIND.

I BET WE COULD GET YOU A CHEAP LAST-MINUTE TICKET.

YOU COULD COME WITH US. - I'M GOOD.

[sewing machine hums] - IS THAT YOUR WEDDING DRESS?

- IF YOU'RE GONNA LAUNCH INTO ANOTHER

"DON'T MARRY MYK" SPEECH, SAVE IT.

- NO, ANDREA, IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T THINK

YOU SHOULD MARRY MYK, I JUST--I...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIG RUSH IS.

YOU HAVE SO MUCH TO DEAL WITH.

GRADUATING, FINDING THE RIGHT FASHION SCHOOL...

- HELL, GIRLS GRADUATE WITH BABIES AND METH ADDICTIONS.

I CAN GRADUATE WITH A HOT HUSBAND.

- I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR PARENTS

THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA.

- YOU HEARD THEM ON THE PHONE. THEY'RE FINE WITH IT.

AND THEY GOT MARRIED AFTER DATING FOR SIX WEEKS.

BEEN MARRIED FOR 30 YEARS.

IF YOU KNOW YOU LOVE SOMEONE, WHY WAIT?

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU'RE ALWAYS

MARCHING AROUND HERE YAMMERING ABOUT?

"DON'T WAIT, MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY."

- I DON'T THINK I SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

- POINT IS, WHEN I MARRY MYK IN MARCH,

IT'LL BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU FOR ANYTHING.

EXCEPT, IF YOU'RE GONNA COME TO THE WEDDING,

WIPE THE SCOWL OFF YOUR FACE.

- [sniffs]

- HEY. - HEY!

OH, MAN, YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.

[chuckles] - LISTEN PAUL,

I GOT SOME DISTURBING NEWS FROM CENTRAL OPERATIONS.

INVENTORY CHECKS ARE SHOWING

MERCHANDISE MISSING FROM OUR STOCK.

- WOW, THAT'S VERY DISTURBING.

- YEAH, DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANYONE STEALING SHIT?

- NO, GOSH. BASTARDS.

- RIGHT. I'M NOT GONNA LET SOME

STICKY-FINGERED ASSHOLE FUCK UP MY CAREER TRAJECTORY.

I BET IT'S ONE OF THOSE FUCKING FOREIGNERS.

YOU KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR ME, BUDDY?

- WIDE OPEN, PAL. WIDE OPEN.

- YOU MIGHT WANNA CLEAR OUT OF HERE.

I'M ABOUT TO TAKE A DUMP THE SIZE OF CLEVELAND.

- GOT IT.

DUDE...

THEY'RE ON TO US.

OWEN KNOWS SOMEBODY'S BEEN STEALING SOME SHIT.

WE HAVE TO STOP NOW. - SHIT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY WILL DO TO US BOTH?

- THEY'LL DEFINITELY FIRE US. PROBABLY FUCKING ARREST US.

I'VE NEVER BEEN TO JAIL. WHAT THE FUCK!

- I CANNOT GET ARRESTED. - OH, AND I CAN?

- NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I CANNOT GO HOME TO UKRAINE.

- YOU THINK THEY'LL DEPORT YOU?

- THEY WOULD DEFINITELY DEPORT ME.

MY STUDENT VISA RAN OUT IN THE SUMMER.

- WOW. YOU'RE ILLEGAL?

- DON'T YELL IT OUT, OKAY?

- WAIT...

IS THAT WHY YOU'VE BEEN PUSHING ANDREA TO MARRY YOU?

SO YOU CAN GET A GODDAMN GREEN CARD?

- NO, NO. I LOVE ANDREA.

- DOES ANDREA KNOW THAT YOU'RE ILLEGAL?

- PLEASE, PAUL. PLEASE, DON'T TELL HER.

PLEASE, I DON'T WANT HER TO WORRY.

- YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME, SHE DOESN'T KNOW?

YOU ARE USING HER.

YOU ARE GONNA BREAK THAT GIRL'S HEART.

- IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! - NOW, YOU LISTEN TO ME.

YOU FUCKING TELL THAT GIRL THE GODDAMN TRUTH, OR I WILL.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. THIS IS ALL WE NEED.

IF MY WIFE KNEW ABOUT THIS,

IT WOULD FUCKING KILL HER!

- DUDE, I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING AWAY FOR TEN DAYS.

WHO'S GONNA GIVE ME SHIT WHILE YOU'RE GONE?

- I'LL TEXT YOU AND GIVE YOU SHIT LONG-DISTANCE.

E-SMACK. - SWEET.

DO IT IN ITALIAN. - OKAY.

SO DO YOU SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH YOUR DAD?

- NO. UH-UH.

HE'S WAY TOO OUT OF IT. IT'S JUST SUPER SAD.

I'LL PROBABLY WORK SOME EXTRA SHIFTS

AT THE SANDWICH TOWN,

AND THEN I MIGHT TAKE MYSELF TO SEE THE NUTCRACKER.

MY DAD USED TO TAKE ME WHEN I WAS LITTLE.

GOD, I LOVED IT.

SUGAR PLUM FAIRY, ALL THOSE DANCING SOLDIERS.

IT WAS INSANE, ALL THE COLORS.

IT WAS LIKE A KALEIDOSCOPE.

- MAYBE YOU COULD COME TO ITALY WITH US.

- YEAH, RIGHT. - NO, I'M SERIOUS.

MY MOM WAS GONNA BUY A TICKET FOR ANDREA,

AND SHE'S NOT COMING.

- THAT'D BE KINDA RADICAL. - YEAH, I'LL ASK MY MOM.

- ADAM, YOU'RE THE COOLEST. - I KNOW.

- [giggles]

- SO WE'VE TAKEN A LOOK AT MRS. JAMISON'S SCANS,

AND WE'VE HEARD HER MEDICAL HISTORY...

- NOT EVERYBODY GETS TO LOOK

INSIDE MY CHEST ON THE FIRST DATE.

[giggles]

- WE HAVE A REAL CANCER PATIENT HERE,

SO, FUTURE DOCTORS,

LET'S ASK HER SOME REAL QUESTIONS.

YEAH.

- HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A CHEMO-BASED PROTOCOL?

all: [typing]

- I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT THAT MEANS.

- SHE'S CURRENTLY IN A CLINICAL TRIAL

THAT UTILIZES CHEMOTHERAPY AS ONE AGENT.

[keyboard keys clicking]

- YEAH.

- WHAT WAS THE BRESLOW LEVEL

ON YOUR FIRST DYSPLASTIC NEVUS REMOVAL?

[keys clicking]

- AGAIN, I DON'T-- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS.

- A DYSPLASTIC NEVUS IS A MOLE.

- OH. - YEAH.

- WELL. WELL, UH...

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THEY TOOK

AN AWFUL LOT OF STUFF OUT OF MY BACK.

[giggles]

- YEAH. - AS A CANCER PATIENT,

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUNG DOCTORS?

[keys clicking]

- STOP TYPING AND LOOK AT ME.

LOOK AT ME.

YOU NEED TO LOOK AT YOUR PATIENTS.

SPEAK A LANGUAGE THEY UNDERSTAND,

NOT MEDICAL SCHOOL TEXTBOOK.

YOU NEED TO ASK US HOW WE REALLY FEEL,

NOW HOW OUR CANCER FEELS.

HOW WE FEEL. BECAUSE WE'RE SCARED SHITLESS.

AND WHEN WE TELL YOU THAT, DON'T YOU DARE

LOOK AS SCARED AS HALF OF YOU DO RIGHT NOW.

YOU'RE OUR SAVIORS, LIKE IT OR NOT.

ACT LIKE IT.

YOU HOLD OUR LIVES IN YOUR...

IN YOUR TIPPY-TYPEY LITTLE HANDS.

SPEND TIME WITH US.

MORE THAN JUST TWO MINUTES.

REMEMBER OUR NAMES.

YOU KNOW, DR. SHERMAN,

LEE FALLON IS A PERSON.

HE'S NOT JUST A CASUALTY OF YOUR TRIAL.

OH, AND WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-- WHEN THEY GO REALLY WRONG--

HOLD OUR HAND, DO NOT LET GO.

THERE IS A CHANCE YOU MIGHT BE

THE LAST PERSON WE SEE ON THIS EARTH.

IF THAT SCARES YOU,

THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE CANCER DOCTORS.

- LET'S BE A LITTLE MORE OPTIMISTIC, MRS. JAMISON.

- DON'T DO THAT.

DO NOT TELL US HOW WE SHOULD FEEL.

WE'RE DYING. THAT'S HOW WE FEEL.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

- WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

- HEY, THESE ARE FOR YOU.

- FOR WHAT?

FINISHING MY LAST TEST BEFORE CHRISTMAS BREAK?

- THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO TELL YOU.

- WHERE'D YOUR GOOFY ASS SMILE GO?

- I LOVE YOU, ANDREA, VERY MUCH.

AND YOU LOVE ME, RIGHT?

- DEPENDS ON WHERE THIS IS GOING.

'CAUSE I COULD DEFINITELY SEE A SCENARIO

WHERE I KICK YOU IN THE POTATO PANCAKES.

- WHEN I WAKE UP, ALL I THINK ABOUT IS YOU BEING MY WIFE.

WHEN I GO TO SLEEP, IT'S THE SAME THING.

I WANT TO STOP THINKING ABOUT IT AND I WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.

I DON'T THINK I CAN WAIT UNTIL MARCH TO MARRY YOU.

- ME NEITHER.

- LET'S DO IT TOMORROW.

LET'S ELOPE. - TOMORROW?

I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED MAKING MY WEDDING DRESS.

AND WHAT'S YOUR RUSH, ANYWAY? YOU PREGNANT OR SOMETHING?

- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU WEAR.

ALL I CARE ABOUT IS YOU BEING MY WIFE.

MY FUNNY...CRAZY... BEAUTIFUL WIFE FOREVER.

WE COULD GET MARRIED AT THE MALL OF AMERICA.

THEY HAVE THE WEDDING CHAPEL RIGHT BESIDE THE FOOD COURT.

- DAMN, YOU'RE SERIOUS. - I AM.

TOMORROW AT 7:00.

PLEASE MEET ME THERE AND BE MY WIFE.

- I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.

- [softly] OKAY.

- I LOVE THAT YOU WENT ALL SHIRLEY MACLAINE ON THOSE KIDS.

- OH, NOT JUST THOSE KIDS, ON DR. SHERMAN TOO.

WE HAVE DINNER AT HIS HOUSE--

HE STILL TREATS ME LIKE I'M A NUMBER.

IF HE WASN'T MAKING ME BETTER, I'D PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.

OH...GOD, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S GONNA SNOW.

YOU THINK SEAN IS SOMEWHERE WARM?

LIKE FLORIDA?

- OH, HONEY.

SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT THE GUY. HE'S A SURVIVOR.

- YEAH, I JUST, I DON'T WANNA FEEL BAD ABOUT LEAVING.

- WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S A GROWN-UP.

WHEN HE'S READY TO COME HOME, HE WILL.

- HEY. - HEY, SWEETIE.

YOU SHOULD BE PACKING.

WE HAVE TO BE AT THE AIRPORT AT 8:00 SHARP TOMORROW NIGHT.

- SO CAN POPPY COME WITH US?

- TO THE AIRPORT?

- UM, NO, TO ROME.

- OH...

COME ON, ADAM, THAT'S CRAZY.

- WELL, YOU INVITED ANDREA.

- WELL, SHE'S LIVING WITH US. SHE'S PART OF THE FAMILY.

- DOESN'T SHE HAVE ANY FAMILY, BUDDY?

LIKE, WHAT ABOUT HER SICK DAD?

- [scoffs] YOU KNOW WHAT, FORGET IT.

- NO, I'M SORRY. ADAM, I...

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS RELATIONSHIP IS.

SHE'S WHAT? SHE'S, LIKE, 38 OR SOMETHING?

GROWN WOMEN DO NOT HANG OUT WITH TEENAGE BOYS.

IT'S NOT NORMAL. - NOTHING'S NORMAL ANYMORE.

- OH.

IF THAT WOMAN IS SLEEPING WITH OUR SON,

I WILL KICK HER ASS.

- KEEP PACKING, SHIRLEY.

[door bell dings]

- HI, WELCOME TO SANDWICH TOWN.

WHAT CAN I MAKE FOR YOU TODAY?

- UM... IS, UM, POPPY HERE?

- POPPY? - POPPY KOWALSKI.

SHE WORKS HERE. - NO, SHE DOESN'T.

SHE HASN'T WORKED HERE FOR A YEAR.

- [chuckles] NO, NO, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

- OH, IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. I FIRED HER MYSELF.

THAT GIRL'S A WHACK JOB.

THE FIRST WEEK HER FATHER DIED, I GET IT.

BUT A YEAR LATER, AND SHE'S STILL TAKING DAYS OFF

TO MOURN THE GUY? I MEAN, COME ON.

SANDWICHES DON'T MAKE THEMSELVES.

SURE YOU DON'T WANT ANYTHING?

ROAST BEEF'S ON SPECIAL.

[phone ringing]

- HELLO? - MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- OH. LEE.

IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.

I AM SO SORRY ABOUT OUR FIGHT.

- YOU WANNA COME OVER? - YES.

YES, I DO. I REALLY DO.

- GOOD, I'LL SEE YOU SOON.

- OKAY, SEE YOU SOON.

COULD YOU PICK UP THE EUROS? - SURE.

WHAT'S UP? - THAT WAS LEE.

I'M JUST GONNA POP OVER AND SEE HIM.

- POP OVER. HONEY, IT'S NOON.

- WE'RE PACKED. WE'RE FINE.

- WE CANNOT BE LATE FOR THE AIRPORT, OKAY?

I MEAN, YOU CAN WATCH AN ENTIRE IN-FLIGHT MOVIE

IN THOSE DAMN SECURITY LINES.

- I KNOW. DON'T WORRY. - UGH.

THAT GUY COMPLICATES EVERYTHING.

[knocking at door]

- LEE?

OH, MY GOD, LEE.

- WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

- YOU OKAY? - [rasping] YEAH.

I'M JUST DYING. [coughs]

BUT OTHER THAN THAT, NO COMPLAINTS.

- I GOTTA CALL SOMEONE.

I GOTTA CALL DR. SHERMAN, CALL AN AMBULANCE.

- I DID...CALL SOMEONE.

- HEY, ANDREA. - SHIT.

HEY! JUST CHECKING THE HEM OF MY DRESS.

YOU SEE, YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT'S THE RIGHT LENGTH

UNTIL YOU WALK DOWN A FLIGHT OF STEPS, SO...

- WITH A BOUQUET?

- FINE, I'M GETTING MARRIED.

- DID YOU TALK TO MYK, HONEY?

- [giggles] OOPS, FORGOT TO INVITE THE GROOM.

GETTING MARRIED TODAY WAS HIS IDEA.

- ANDREA...UM...

HERE'S THE THING, HONEY.

UH...YOU, UM...

Y-Y-YOU CAN'T GET MARRIED.

- OH, YEAH, I CAN, AND I WILL.

YOU SEE, MYK AND I LOVE EACH OTHER

AND RATHER THAN LISTEN TO EVERYONE TELL US

THAT THIS IS A STUPID IDEA FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS,

WE'RE JUST GONNA DO IT TODAY. [clicks tongue]

- MYK IS ONLY USING YOU TO GET A GREEN CARD.

- HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

- BECAUSE HE TOLD ME HIMSELF THAT HIS VISA HAS EXPIRED

AND HE'S IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY.

AND I STOOD UP FOR YOU, ANDREA.

I TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.

AND MY GUESS IS THAT HE HASN'T.

- FUCK YOU!

HOW DARE YOU SAY THIS TO ME ON MY GODDAMN WEDDING DAY!

- NO, NO, NO, THINK ABOUT IT.

ISN'T THERE SOME PART OF YOU THAT'S WONDERING

WHY HE NEEDED TO BE MOVING SO QUICKLY?

- YOU KNOW, MAYBE HE LOVES ME.

YOU DON'T KNOW! IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU

TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEBODY COULD LOVE ME?

- IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, CALL HIM YOURSELF.

CALL MYK RIGHT NOW.

[line ringing]

- HELLO? - HI--HI, BABY, IT'S ME.

I'M ON MY WAY TO MEET YOU NOW,

BUT PAUL'S HERE, AND HE'S SAYING--

- SHIT. [phone beeps]

- MYK? HELLO?

[dial tone]

[sighs]

- ANDREA, I AM SO SORRY.

IT MUST BE SO...DIFFIC--

- ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? - NO.

- YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!

FUCKING EVERYTHING!

[door slams]

- PLEASE, PLEASE, LET ME TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL.

- SO I CAN GO OUT IN THE WARM EMBRACE OF MEDICAL MACHINERY?

- NO, BUT MAYBE THEY CAN-- - SAVE ME?

THIS IS THE WAY I WANNA GO. [rasping]

I'M EXCITED.

IT'S A NEW ADVENTURE.

- WHY DID YOU CALL ME?

- BECAUSE I WANTED TO SAY GOOD-BYE...[coughs]

TO MY SOUL MATE.

NO CRYING.

GIVE ME MY GIFT.

- THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT NOW.

- THAT IS MY DYING WISH.

- SERIOUSLY...

I BOUGHT IT BEFORE I--

- UNWRAP IT FOR ME.

[paper ripping]

- IT'S A RUNNER'S WATCH.

- FOR MY MARATHON?

AWKWARD. - [giggles]

[laughing] - [raspy coughs]

[wheezing] [phone ringing]

- OH.

ONE SECOND, IT'S PAUL.

HEY.

- HONEY, ARE YOU ON YOUR WAY HOME?

ANDREA JUST-- - I'M STILL AT LEE'S.

- WHAT?

WE HAVE TO LEAVE FOR THE AIRPORT IN HALF AN HOUR.

- PAUL, HE'S DYING.

LEE'S DYING.

- SO CALL HIM AN AMBULANCE. CALL HIM A GODDAMN AMBULANCE.

- I CAN'T LEAVE HIM.

- IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO WATCH THIS MAN DIE.

- HE'S MY FRIEND, PAUL.

- AND WE'RE YOUR FAMILY.

YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU'RE JUST WILLING

TO FUCK THIS ENTIRE TRIP TO ITALY--

ONE THAT YOU PUSHED FOR, ONE THAT YOUR SON

HAS BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO-- FOR LEE?

WE'RE YOUR GODDAMN FAMILY, CATH, AND WE'RE STILL ALIVE.

- OKAY, LOOK, IF GOING ON A TRIP IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU,

THEN YOU JUST GO. YOU TAKE ADAM AND YOU GO.

[beeps]

- UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE.

[sniffs]

[knock at door]

- YAY. THOUGHT YOU LEFT ALREADY.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT? - WOW, CRANKY.

- I CAME BY TO GIVE YOU YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENT.

- I WENT TO THAT SANDWICH SHOP TODAY.

YOU KNOW, THE ONE THAT YOU SAID YOU WORKED AT.

IT TURNS OUT YOU DON'T WORK THERE ANYMORE.

AND YOUR DAD DIED, LIKE, TWO YEARS AGO.

- OH, SHIT. - YOU SAID HE WAS ALIVE.

- NO, ADAM, LISTEN, I DIDN'T MEAN TO LIE.

- YEAH, WELL, YOU DID.

- IT'S JUST, FOR ME...

MY DAD IS DYING EVERY DAY.

I KNOW HE'S GONE. I'M NOT CRAZY, IT'S...

IT'S JUST WHEN YOU GO TO THESE BEREAVEMENT GROUPS...

IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF SAD, BROKEN PEOPLE,

YOU KNOW, LETTING GO.

LETTING GO.

I CAN'T LET GO.

AND THEN I MET YOU ONLINE.

AND I THOUGHT, "YEAH, THIS IS CRAZY, THIS KID IS 15."

BUT YOU GOT IT, YOU KNOW? YOU MADE ME FEEL OKAY.

- NEWS FLASH, POPPY, YOU'RE NOT OKAY.

YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY. - WHEN YOUR MOM GOES,

SHE'S GONNA GO SO FAST, YOUR HEAD WILL SPIN.

AND I HOPE WHEN THAT HAPPENS,

THAT YOU HAVE A FRIEND THAT LETS YOU BE FUCKED UP,

BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA NEED IT.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

- [sighs]

[paper ripping]

[beads clinking together]

- [rasping breaths]

- [sniff]

THERE'S SO MUCH I WANNA SAY TO YOU.

[sniffs]

I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO DO THIS ALONE.

- SELFISH.

- [laughing]

- DECEMBER 21ST, THE...

IS IT DECEMBER 21ST? - IT IS.

- THE DARKEST DAY.

- YEAH.

- [mumbles] - WHAT?

- OH, YEAH. - WHAT?

- TOMORROW, MORE SUN.

- [sniffs]

- I THINK I MIGHT GO NOW.

- REALLY?

OKAY.

- [softly] OKAY.

- YOU TRAVEL SAFE.

AH!
