1
00:00:14,012 --> 00:00:15,180
Good morning!
2
00:00:15,779 --> 00:00:17,265
Good morning!
3
00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:18,864
You remember this house?
4
00:00:18,865 --> 00:00:20,279
Oh yes.
5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,056
It's almost the same!
6
00:00:23,341 --> 00:00:24,242
Does she still live here?
7
00:00:24,243 --> 00:00:26,430
Oh, yes.
8
00:00:34,895 --> 00:00:36,981
� Hello!
� What?
9
00:00:36,982 --> 00:00:38,718
Are you Elizabeth Jessup?
10
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:40,144
Who wants to know?
11
00:00:41,727 --> 00:00:44,783
� Can I help you?
� No, I don't need any help.
12
00:00:50,895 --> 00:00:51,948
What do you want?
13
00:00:51,949 --> 00:00:56,075
My name is Monica. I understand
that you are writing your memoirs
14
00:00:56,076 --> 00:00:57,991
and I've been sent
to help you finish them.
15
00:00:57,992 --> 00:01:04,145
Well, Monica, I have never had a
deadline in my entire life
16
00:01:04,146 --> 00:01:05,146
that I didn't make!
17
00:01:05,147 --> 00:01:09,330
Once I've turned in a story in Saigon
in the back of my last clean t-shirt.
18
00:01:10,554 --> 00:01:14,324
So you can go back and tell
those pathetic publishers
19
00:01:14,090 --> 00:01:17,267
that Elizabeth Jessup has
never missed a deadline.
20
00:01:19,367 --> 00:01:22,452
But your manuscript was due
two months ago.
21
00:01:22,453 --> 00:01:24,596
Well, that was their deadline
as far as I am concerned
22
00:01:24,597 --> 00:01:26,836
I am right on schedule.
Before you leave
23
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:28,305
did you see any newspaper
around here?
24
00:01:31,256 --> 00:01:33,800
See, kids, they don't care
25
00:01:33,801 --> 00:01:35,164
they don't care where they
throw the thing
26
00:01:35,165 --> 00:01:39,124
up, down, on the porch
on the window
27
00:01:39,125 --> 00:01:40,599
most of the time it ends us
right up here on the roof.
28
00:01:41,044 --> 00:01:42,026
Can I help you?
29
00:01:42,027 --> 00:01:44,215
What is this?
Your big break or something?
30
00:01:45,349 --> 00:01:47,193
You sit on the feet of a
legendary journalist
31
00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:50,048
one day you write your book
and you call yourself my protege?
32
00:01:50,049 --> 00:01:51,633
Is that what this is?
33
00:01:51,634 --> 00:01:54,169
You are not that
legendary, you know.
34
00:01:54,170 --> 00:01:56,597
You are not that
legendary, you know.
35
00:02:01,642 --> 00:02:04,840
Would you still like me to leave?
Or should I stay?
36
00:02:08,388 --> 00:02:09,873
My, she was quite something!
37
00:02:09,874 --> 00:02:11,781
She still is.
38
00:02:11,782 --> 00:02:13,351
Why am I back here, Tess?
39
00:02:13,352 --> 00:02:17,712
I just know somebody prayed a
prayer and you are the answer to it.
40
00:02:17,713 --> 00:02:21,818
Oh, I need a little more
to go on than that.
41
00:02:21,819 --> 00:02:24,153
No, you don't. You just go up
there, ring the doorbell
42
00:02:24,154 --> 00:02:26,290
and let things take their course.
43
00:02:26,291 --> 00:02:30,226
And remember. You are
visiting an old friend.
44
00:02:30,227 --> 00:02:35,974
And old friends have a way of
picking up things where they left
45
00:02:35,975 --> 00:02:38,811
Yes! They do!
46
00:02:52,327 --> 00:02:54,086
� Yes?
� Elizabeth?
47
00:02:55,282 --> 00:02:58,892
� Yes?
� It's me. Monica.
48
00:02:58,893 --> 00:03:03,480
Your old friend, the angel.
It's so good to see you again.
49
00:03:03,481 --> 00:03:10,217
Oh, no, absolutely, not. You listen,
you go back home to your cloud.
50
00:03:10,218 --> 00:03:11,699
Good bye!
51
00:03:15,814 --> 00:03:17,789
I really mean it!
52
00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:24,496
I thought you said, I was the
answer to her prayers.
53
00:03:24,591 --> 00:03:27,700
I said you are the answer
to somebody's prayers.
54
00:03:27,947 --> 00:03:31,104
� But not hers?
� Definitely not hers.
55
00:03:36,166 --> 00:03:41,972
When you walk
down the road
56
00:03:42,509 --> 00:03:48,292
Every burden
every load
57
00:03:48,619 --> 00:03:54,476
I will rise and
I will walk with you
58
00:03:57,885 --> 00:04:00,878
till the sun
don't even shine,
59
00:04:04,427 --> 00:04:08,920
walk with you. Every time,
I tell you I'll walk with you.
60
00:04:11,816 --> 00:04:15,104
Believe me I'll walk with you.
61
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,430
What did I say?
62
00:04:19,533 --> 00:04:21,055
Go away!
63
00:04:24,747 --> 00:04:27,283
Sidney! It's you!
64
00:04:27,810 --> 00:04:29,351
Who are you expecting mom?
65
00:04:30,122 --> 00:04:32,081
.
. Just some pest.
66
00:04:32,082 --> 00:04:33,347
.
. .
67
00:04:37,204 --> 00:04:39,621
You know one of those
religious people
68
00:04:39,622 --> 00:04:41,239
who wont' take no for
an answer. Never mind.
69
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,356
What do you say if we take
my car for today.
70
00:04:43,357 --> 00:04:44,904
Yes that's fine.
. .
71
00:04:58,559 --> 00:05:01,317
My name is Elizabeth
72
00:05:01,318 --> 00:05:03,160
and I am an alcoholic
73
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:09,533
Today I'm celebrating
seven years of sobriety.
74
00:05:17,445 --> 00:05:21,336
These last 7 years have been
the best years of my life.
75
00:05:21,337 --> 00:05:24,125
And that's not to say that
they all have been easy
76
00:05:24,911 --> 00:05:29,414
but it certainly beats the
decades of inebriation
77
00:05:29,415 --> 00:05:32,870
humiliation, isolation
and all the other ...ations
78
00:05:32,871 --> 00:05:35,304
I went through before
I stopped drinking.
79
00:05:36,449 --> 00:05:38,754
It's hard to believe
it's been seven years.
80
00:05:40,967 --> 00:05:44,455
And so on this
100th anniversary of our city
81
00:05:44,516 --> 00:05:47,381
It is only fitting
that the best of the best
82
00:05:47,382 --> 00:05:49,014
be placed in our
time capsule
83
00:05:49,054 --> 00:05:50,917
to represent us
for eternity.
84
00:05:50,964 --> 00:05:53,752
Ladies and gentlemen
Elizabeth Jessup.
85
00:06:01,007 --> 00:06:03,167
Legendary!
86
00:06:05,413 --> 00:06:09,680
I can't tell you what a thrill is
to be here with you today
87
00:06:09,681 --> 00:06:14,360
The reason I can't tell is because
I forgot to write my speech.
88
00:06:18,555 --> 00:06:21,306
But I am touched that you
included me
89
00:06:21,307 --> 00:06:23,327
in your time capsule.
90
00:06:23,328 --> 00:06:25,971
or my writings, rather.
91
00:06:25,972 --> 00:06:29,563
I can't imagine I would be
comfortable inside that thing
92
00:06:31,123 --> 00:06:35,729
but it would be a great honor
to be entered with a
93
00:06:35,987 --> 00:06:38,123
what did you say
is in there?
94
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,544
A pound of wheat
95
00:06:41,878 --> 00:06:44,756
a picture of our
new library
96
00:06:46,113 --> 00:06:49,924
That will set their hair on fire
in 2094
97
00:06:52,694 --> 00:06:55,479
How about a nude
picture of me instead?
98
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:01,379
I'm sorry, she's on antibiotics
and she shouldn't be drinking.
99
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:02,994
I am not finished.
100
00:07:02,995 --> 00:07:06,551
You never like to see me...
101
00:07:08,477 --> 00:07:11,559
It's not something I like
to remember but I suppose .
102
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,713
it's more dangerous
to forget it. .
103
00:07:19,530 --> 00:07:22,285
For Heaven's sake.
Give it to me.
104
00:07:24,147 --> 00:07:25,314
I can't stand it
another minute.
105
00:07:25,433 --> 00:07:28,595
That's it. Come on Bethy
we're going to go.
106
00:07:28,596 --> 00:07:30,373
She wants some cake Sidney.
107
00:07:30,374 --> 00:07:32,987
What she wants is
a sober grandmother.
108
00:07:34,894 --> 00:07:37,597
I used to tell myself that I need
to drink to do my job.
109
00:07:38,530 --> 00:07:42,033
There were cocktails
with the ambassador
110
00:07:42,727 --> 00:07:44,967
Champaign with
the Prime-minister.
111
00:07:44,968 --> 00:07:48,251
Tequila shots with
the leader of the resistance
112
00:07:48,496 --> 00:07:50,528
Scotch with the boys
in the press room.
113
00:07:50,529 --> 00:07:56,005
but final it was just me
and the bottle in the kitchen.
114
00:07:57,964 --> 00:07:59,957
And it took my family
115
00:07:59,958 --> 00:08:09,058
and a very pushy friend
116
00:08:09,208 --> 00:08:11,126
to pull me out.
117
00:08:15,453 --> 00:08:19,702
This is Anita, she is a counselor
at the New Hope Center.
118
00:08:26,709 --> 00:08:28,814
Hello Elizabeth.
119
00:08:28,815 --> 00:08:30,755
I've spoken with
your family,
120
00:08:30,756 --> 00:08:34,155
and they expressed me
their love for you.
121
00:08:35,543 --> 00:08:38,090
They also feel that
your drinking
122
00:08:38,091 --> 00:08:40,765
is getting in the way
of your relationship with them.
123
00:08:41,703 --> 00:08:45,990
They also agree that unless you
get some help with your problem
124
00:08:45,991 --> 00:08:49,053
you can no longer be
part of their lives.
125
00:08:50,858 --> 00:08:53,211
They've written letters
about their feeling
126
00:08:53,848 --> 00:08:56,190
and how your drinking
has affected them.
127
00:08:56,743 --> 00:08:59,038
I drew mine
with pictures.
128
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,034
Elizabeth, after
you hear their letters
129
00:09:04,797 --> 00:09:08,011
Sidney and I have arranged to
take you to the New Hope Center,
130
00:09:08,012 --> 00:09:09,511
for our rehab program.
131
00:09:14,956 --> 00:09:19,207
This is the single most assenon
thing you've done in your life.
132
00:09:19,208 --> 00:09:22,888
Mom, we want to help you.
133
00:09:23,006 --> 00:09:25,457
Help my ass.
134
00:09:26,055 --> 00:09:27,641
You are trying to control me.
135
00:09:27,659 --> 00:09:30,918
I won't have you do it.
I won't.
136
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:35,121
What I do in the privacy of my
home is none of your business.
137
00:09:35,122 --> 00:09:37,288
That's just the point
Elizabeth.
138
00:09:37,289 --> 00:09:39,247
It has become their business.
139
00:09:39,248 --> 00:09:41,341
To use my grand-daughter
to get back to me
140
00:09:41,342 --> 00:09:43,035
for a problem that you had with
me, ever since you could talk
141
00:09:43,036 --> 00:09:44,430
is reprehensible.
142
00:09:44,431 --> 00:09:46,716
Mom, your drinking
is hurting her too.
143
00:09:47,873 --> 00:09:49,776
Get out of my house.
144
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,479
You realize Elizabeth, your family
will not have any contact with you.
145
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,132
I said, get out
of my house.
146
00:09:57,762 --> 00:09:59,879
� Elizabeth, please..
� Get out!
147
00:10:00,325 --> 00:10:01,912
All of you, get out.
148
00:10:01,913 --> 00:10:04,388
And don't you ever come back.
You too, get out.
149
00:10:15,474 --> 00:10:18,509
I was very thankful for my
family's intervention
150
00:10:18,510 --> 00:10:20,826
and I told them,
it was like the sun
151
00:10:20,827 --> 00:10:23,089
had finally come out.
152
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:25,754
It took a while to process
things of course
153
00:10:25,755 --> 00:10:27,940
there's always a few bumps
on the road but
154
00:10:29,666 --> 00:10:33,508
finally I surprised myself and
I walked into my first meeting.
155
00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:37,184
Well I thought that was
the hardest thing to do
156
00:10:37,185 --> 00:10:40,965
but the best ....
157
00:10:42,698 --> 00:10:45,814
...the worst ...
158
00:10:45,949 --> 00:10:48,787
but maybe it was the best
the best is yet to come
159
00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:51,290
because you will never guess
160
00:10:51,844 --> 00:10:53,647
who was serving....
161
00:10:53,648 --> 00:10:56,800
you will ... whose.....
162
00:11:08,069 --> 00:11:11,311
I have a bit
of headache
163
00:11:13,005 --> 00:11:15,525
I haven't been
drinking, I promise you.
164
00:11:24,082 --> 00:11:25,870
There's a lot more
to this story
165
00:11:25,871 --> 00:11:28,132
you're going to have to read
about that in my memoirs.
166
00:11:28,133 --> 00:11:31,015
which I promise you I am going
to finish some day.
167
00:11:31,016 --> 00:11:32,482
Let's go home, mom.
168
00:11:33,856 --> 00:11:35,471
Thank you!
169
00:11:45,752 --> 00:11:48,016
I do admire
you persistence.
170
00:11:48,677 --> 00:11:51,394
Sidney you remember Monica,
she was my secretary
171
00:11:51,395 --> 00:11:53,910
for a brief but crucial period.
172
00:11:54,315 --> 00:11:55,505
Of course, I do.
173
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:57,517
� It's nice to see you again.
� You too.
174
00:11:57,714 --> 00:11:59,308
It's so wonderful
that you came today.
175
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,310
My words, exactly.
176
00:12:03,659 --> 00:12:05,282
Are you all right, Elizabeth?
177
00:12:07,136 --> 00:12:08,895
I am a bit tired.
178
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:10,913
I spent the morning
answering the door
179
00:12:10,914 --> 00:12:13,272
shooing away undesirables.
180
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:17,883
and I've developed a recent
tendency for transient cognitive
181
00:12:17,884 --> 00:12:20,669
episodes of an undetermined
origin.
182
00:12:27,587 --> 00:12:29,562
Transient cognitive episodes?
183
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,966
She's not doing well, Monica.
184
00:12:32,565 --> 00:12:34,913
The doctors think that
she could have a brain tumor.
185
00:13:06,092 --> 00:13:08,466
It is not going to
ruin your life Beth.
186
00:13:09,064 --> 00:13:12,038
No, what did I say?
187
00:13:12,039 --> 00:13:13,569
It is only going to take 5 minutes
188
00:13:13,569 --> 00:13:15,891
and grandma really wants to
see you in your costume.
189
00:13:16,297 --> 00:13:17,968
Whatever it's called.
190
00:13:18,718 --> 00:13:21,535
Just hope on your bike and
ride over here please.
191
00:13:22,214 --> 00:13:24,270
Beth, you can do it.
192
00:13:24,580 --> 00:13:29,082
No... 5 minutes.
Thank you.
193
00:13:30,472 --> 00:13:32,336
She's a teenager now, isn't she?
194
00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:35,928
Fourteen teenage years
of horror and humiliation
195
00:13:35,929 --> 00:13:37,930
and having cruel me
for a mother.
196
00:13:40,052 --> 00:13:42,240
You could have been
your own mother, just now.
197
00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:43,852
Aouch!
198
00:13:46,083 --> 00:13:50,371
I guess we always had more in
common than I wanted to admit.
199
00:13:52,273 --> 00:13:54,867
My name is Sidney
and I am an alcoholic
200
00:13:57,673 --> 00:14:01,574
and as of today I've been
sober for one year
201
00:14:10,483 --> 00:14:13,075
I used to say that I was
an alcoholic
202
00:14:13,075 --> 00:14:15,332
because my mother
didn't love me
203
00:14:15,985 --> 00:14:19,608
but nothing changed until
I admitted I was an alcoholic
204
00:14:19,609 --> 00:14:21,931
because I didn't love myself.
205
00:14:24,620 --> 00:14:27,690
I used to think that my
mother was so glamorous
206
00:14:28,374 --> 00:14:31,067
she would go to the
most exotic places
207
00:14:31,633 --> 00:14:34,081
she would meet the
most famous people
208
00:14:34,861 --> 00:14:38,122
and drink Champaign in
crystal glasses from Paris.
209
00:14:39,866 --> 00:14:41,747
I adored her
210
00:14:42,657 --> 00:14:47,408
but I always knew that
she was sorry that she had me.
211
00:14:48,862 --> 00:14:51,118
I guess I cramped her style
212
00:14:51,339 --> 00:14:54,997
so I tried to make her
happy that I was born
213
00:14:55,802 --> 00:14:58,946
I drew her pictures, I sent her
letters on the road.
214
00:15:00,481 --> 00:15:04,034
I tried so hard to be
somebody that she could love
215
00:15:05,585 --> 00:15:08,325
but I couldn't compete
with the Champaign
216
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,811
and the harder I tried
the more I saw myself
217
00:15:11,812 --> 00:15:14,990
through my mother's eyes
which was ....
218
00:15:14,991 --> 00:15:18,656
dull, unexciting and stupid.
219
00:15:21,069 --> 00:15:24,403
And then one day I'm pouring
a drink for myself
220
00:15:24,404 --> 00:15:26,047
at the afternoon
221
00:15:26,137 --> 00:15:29,673
and my little girl comes in
the house and
222
00:15:30,065 --> 00:15:31,962
she looks at me
and she says:
223
00:15:34,481 --> 00:15:39,369
Mommy, I'm so glad
that you were born.
224
00:15:42,391 --> 00:15:45,771
And finally....
finally ....
225
00:15:47,599 --> 00:15:49,776
for the first time
in my life
226
00:15:53,318 --> 00:15:56,072
so was I.
227
00:16:05,886 --> 00:16:07,766
Mom?
228
00:16:09,333 --> 00:16:11,348
Sidney
229
00:16:20,297 --> 00:16:22,504
I am so sorry!
230
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,538
And I am so glad
you were born!
231
00:16:37,661 --> 00:16:39,525
You should have been
there at that day.
232
00:16:40,778 --> 00:16:42,619
She was extraordinary!
233
00:16:46,697 --> 00:16:49,476
I made you some coffee.
I know you like it.
234
00:16:49,477 --> 00:16:51,154
Thank you.
235
00:16:51,471 --> 00:16:55,066
You know I was there
that day, at the meeting.
236
00:16:55,087 --> 00:16:56,887
You were extraordinary too!
237
00:16:56,888 --> 00:16:59,190
You saw that?
238
00:16:59,191 --> 00:17:03,372
Really? It seemed like you
dropped out of sight.
239
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:06,236
Well I've come to help you
mother finish her memoirs
240
00:17:06,237 --> 00:17:07,971
Right the elusive memoirs.
241
00:17:08,299 --> 00:17:10,402
And then after the fire I knew
242
00:17:10,403 --> 00:17:13,132
she had more important
things to deal with.
243
00:17:16,714 --> 00:17:19,271
I was surprised that she didn't
mention the fire
244
00:17:19,272 --> 00:17:21,151
at the meeting today.
245
00:17:21,867 --> 00:17:25,852
Who wouldn't really try to
go past that.. it's a
246
00:17:31,165 --> 00:17:33,860
We just have a lot of other
things to handle right now..
247
00:17:35,394 --> 00:17:36,905
These are for her headaches.
248
00:17:37,576 --> 00:17:40,598
Just so you know she's in complete
denial about what's going on.
249
00:17:40,766 --> 00:17:42,890
She's ahhh, she doesn't want
to get help from anybody.
250
00:17:43,352 --> 00:17:46,070
� Sidney.
� I am coming.
251
00:17:48,385 --> 00:17:53,261
You know it's like you showing up
today, it's an answer to my prayers.
252
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,047
Why is she still here?
253
00:18:04,246 --> 00:18:06,514
I came to finish
what I started.
254
00:18:09,286 --> 00:18:14,517
Listen, I will finish my memoirs when
I get damn good ready.
255
00:18:14,518 --> 00:18:17,155
Understand?
256
00:18:17,156 --> 00:18:19,942
Mom? Grandma?
257
00:18:19,943 --> 00:18:25,444
Bethy! Oh that's my
precious doll!
258
00:18:25,445 --> 00:18:29,156
You remember Monica?
259
00:18:29,157 --> 00:18:32,014
� No!
� It was a long time ago Beth.
260
00:18:32,015 --> 00:18:33,681
But I remember you.
261
00:18:33,682 --> 00:18:35,789
� So Beth how was school?
� Good.
262
00:18:36,498 --> 00:18:38,629
� Tell us.
� Mom.
263
00:18:39,975 --> 00:18:42,457
Mom, she has her cheer leader
try-outs today
264
00:18:42,458 --> 00:18:45,432
and she wants to show you
her new exit.
265
00:18:47,157 --> 00:18:50,665
A cheer leader, dear God,
is this by choice?
266
00:18:51,122 --> 00:18:53,777
If I can't be Pulitzer prize
winning journalist
267
00:18:53,778 --> 00:18:55,878
I'll just settle for being
incredibly popular.
268
00:18:55,879 --> 00:18:58,006
You can be whatever you want
to be sweetheart.
269
00:18:58,135 --> 00:19:00,340
I am probably not going
to make it anyway.
270
00:19:00,341 --> 00:19:04,089
Good. Now go cover up
that but.
271
00:19:04,090 --> 00:19:07,882
First rule of journalism, I do
believe this covers ones but.
272
00:19:07,883 --> 00:19:10,985
� We've got to go mom.
� Ok.
273
00:19:10,986 --> 00:19:13,944
Monica is going to stay with you mom
and I will be back tonight.
274
00:19:14,688 --> 00:19:16,418
Bye grandma,
Bye Monica.
275
00:19:16,419 --> 00:19:18,439
Have fun.
276
00:19:25,807 --> 00:19:27,845
How are you feeling?
277
00:19:28,443 --> 00:19:30,444
Marvelous, just marvelous.
278
00:19:30,804 --> 00:19:33,457
Sidney believes that
you have a brain tumor.
279
00:19:33,458 --> 00:19:36,143
Well, Sidney believes doctors.
280
00:19:36,144 --> 00:19:38,701
Sidney believes in the basic
goodness of all mankind
281
00:19:38,701 --> 00:19:42,463
and she also believes that the swallows
will return to Capistrano this year
282
00:19:42,464 --> 00:19:44,781
because they did last year.
283
00:19:45,341 --> 00:19:47,468
What do the doctors say?
284
00:19:47,627 --> 00:19:50,009
You are the angel,
you tell me.
285
00:19:51,132 --> 00:19:53,064
They suspect a tumor,
286
00:19:53,065 --> 00:19:56,456
but they won't know for certain
unless you have an MRI
287
00:19:56,961 --> 00:19:59,255
and you refuse to go.
288
00:19:59,256 --> 00:20:02,098
That's right,
it's a waist of time.
289
00:20:02,764 --> 00:20:06,564
I'm the one inside this brain
and I'm telling you I have migraines.
290
00:20:07,344 --> 00:20:09,552
I've always had migraines.
291
00:20:11,580 --> 00:20:13,081
Would you please
stop fussing.
292
00:20:13,081 --> 00:20:15,008
What are you doing?
293
00:20:16,107 --> 00:20:20,087
Honestly, I don't need you.
294
00:21:00,183 --> 00:21:02,517
So what do you think?
295
00:21:05,070 --> 00:21:07,266
It's very inspiring.
296
00:21:08,334 --> 00:21:12,558
But, you never mention the fire.
297
00:21:13,196 --> 00:21:17,887
You never mention an angel.
it's as if one day you saw the light
298
00:21:17,888 --> 00:21:19,913
and that was that.
299
00:21:19,914 --> 00:21:21,501
Oh well, it's close enough.
300
00:21:21,502 --> 00:21:23,099
But it's not true!
301
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:24,849
Listen, Monica.
302
00:21:25,430 --> 00:21:27,996
The story is supposed to be
a view of the world
303
00:21:27,997 --> 00:21:30,623
as seen through the eyes
and heart of a reporter.
304
00:21:31,196 --> 00:21:33,361
Now if I write about meeting
an angel one day
305
00:21:34,357 --> 00:21:36,272
then they are going to
laugh me out of the business.
306
00:21:36,273 --> 00:21:39,464
You make it sound as if it's something
you should be ashamed of.
307
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,144
Regular people don't have
angel visitations, Monica,
308
00:21:44,145 --> 00:21:46,204
you know that, an epiphany.
309
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:49,123
Many people have been
visited by angels, Elizabeth.
310
00:21:50,266 --> 00:21:51,908
A lot of them well known.
311
00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:53,713
Well name one, besides me.
312
00:21:58,366 --> 00:22:00,230
Billy Holiday!
313
00:22:00,231 --> 00:22:02,410
� Oh, give me a break.
� Mark Twain.
314
00:22:02,411 --> 00:22:04,936
Charles Lindberg.
Abraham Lincoln.
315
00:22:05,881 --> 00:22:07,228
You are not kidding!
316
00:22:07,229 --> 00:22:10,182
If you remember your history
Mr. Lincoln
317
00:22:10,183 --> 00:22:12,536
even spoke about being
visited by an angel.
318
00:22:12,537 --> 00:22:14,964
He wasn't ashamed.
319
00:22:15,358 --> 00:22:17,349
So that's why you've come.
320
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:19,675
To tell me I am going to die.
321
00:22:20,137 --> 00:22:23,266
Well let me tell you I have
no intention to die.
322
00:22:23,267 --> 00:22:26,600
I've got to sell a lot of books
and make a lot of money
323
00:22:26,601 --> 00:22:29,490
so I can get my granddaughter to the
best college I can afford.
324
00:22:29,979 --> 00:22:33,653
Elizabeth if you want to give
your granddaughter anything
325
00:22:33,654 --> 00:22:35,217
then give her the truth.
326
00:22:35,218 --> 00:22:39,026
The absolute certainty from
someone she loves and trusts
327
00:22:39,027 --> 00:22:40,707
that God exists.
328
00:22:40,708 --> 00:22:44,412
that you have personally experienced
the truth of God's love.
329
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:48,745
How could any responsible reporter
keep news like that to herself.
330
00:22:48,746 --> 00:22:51,089
I can't do that, Ok?
331
00:22:51,090 --> 00:22:53,608
I can't do that.
if I do that
332
00:22:53,609 --> 00:22:55,194
then I am going to have
to tell the whole story.
333
00:22:55,195 --> 00:22:58,051
I'm going to have to tell that this
house was almost burned to the ground
334
00:22:58,052 --> 00:23:01,069
I'm gonna have to tell how my
granddaughter could have died in the fire
335
00:23:01,070 --> 00:23:04,517
and worst of all I'm going to have to
admit that I was responsible for it
336
00:23:05,006 --> 00:23:08,535
and that's something that Bethy
will never, never know.
337
00:23:08,536 --> 00:23:10,595
You mean you've never
told her?
338
00:23:12,127 --> 00:23:14,367
Well Sidney and I agreed
that it could
339
00:23:14,367 --> 00:23:16,452
jeopardize our family relationship.
340
00:23:16,453 --> 00:23:18,981
Sidney doesn't know the whole
story either.
341
00:23:18,982 --> 00:23:20,918
If she knew
that I am an angel...
342
00:23:20,919 --> 00:23:23,599
Monica, I've just got one headache,
please don't give me another one.
343
00:23:26,649 --> 00:23:30,238
Maybe, sometime
344
00:23:30,239 --> 00:23:32,184
when the time is right
345
00:23:33,186 --> 00:23:35,519
I'll tell Sidney about you.
346
00:23:36,345 --> 00:23:38,827
and when Bethy is older
and she can understand
347
00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:41,180
I'll tell her about the fire.
348
00:23:41,181 --> 00:23:45,157
But ... for right now..
it's just ...
349
00:23:55,591 --> 00:23:58,266
Timothy! I've been
waiting for you.
350
00:24:06,619 --> 00:24:09,229
So, just sign, here, here,
and it's all yours.
351
00:24:11,522 --> 00:24:14,036
And a plate will in the mail
in about 2 weeks.
352
00:24:14,930 --> 00:24:17,900
� This is yours.
� And this is yours.
353
00:24:18,130 --> 00:24:20,207
� Have fun!
� Oh, I will! Thank you!
354
00:24:23,243 --> 00:24:25,761
Speaking of Lincoln,
how would you like to take a ride?
355
00:24:25,963 --> 00:24:29,408
Perhaps you shouldn't be driving
until you have a diagnosis.
356
00:24:34,649 --> 00:24:38,250
You had not the perky little ankle
357
00:24:38,251 --> 00:24:40,717
Your are not the perky little
angel I used to know.
358
00:24:40,718 --> 00:24:43,900
People who are dying
do not buy new cars.
359
00:24:47,864 --> 00:24:50,471
They do if they are afraid.
360
00:24:51,814 --> 00:24:54,415
I have never been afraid of
anything in my life.
361
00:25:07,517 --> 00:25:09,562
Doctor Clark wants
to run some tests.
362
00:25:09,563 --> 00:25:11,870
� Absolutely not.
� You have no choice, the doctors
363
00:25:11,871 --> 00:25:15,210
need you to check you
and they said you need to stay.
364
00:25:17,693 --> 00:25:21,684
So, how did the cheer leader
trials went today?
365
00:25:21,801 --> 00:25:24,094
I don't know.
Not very well.
366
00:25:24,472 --> 00:25:26,728
I am not exactly
one of the popular girls.
367
00:25:26,853 --> 00:25:29,101
I am not really anything!
368
00:25:29,176 --> 00:25:31,931
I think that's what it feels like
to be a teenager.
369
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:34,139
No, it's just what being me is like.
370
00:25:34,140 --> 00:25:36,095
and I am going to be
this way forever.
371
00:25:36,096 --> 00:25:39,043
Some people are smart and special
like my grandmother
372
00:25:39,044 --> 00:25:42,080
and some people
just exist.
373
00:25:48,934 --> 00:25:52,182
� She is impossible!
� She's just frightened Sidney.
374
00:25:52,183 --> 00:25:54,976
No my mother does not get frightened,
she's more like a carrier.
375
00:25:54,976 --> 00:25:56,430
Like Typhoid Mary.
376
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:58,474
Is grandma going to be Ok?
377
00:25:59,064 --> 00:26:01,820
I don't know sweetheart, that's what
the doctors will try to find out.
378
00:26:01,821 --> 00:26:03,710
Excuse me!
379
00:26:04,324 --> 00:26:09,488
It's getting late, if you would like to
stay, I could arrange for a cot.
380
00:26:10,094 --> 00:26:12,109
No, thank you.
381
00:26:12,915 --> 00:26:15,627
I've got to get back home,
she's got school in the morning.
382
00:26:15,628 --> 00:26:18,517
� I could skip.
� I could stay the night.
383
00:26:19,438 --> 00:26:21,757
Thank you Monica,
you are a saint.
384
00:26:22,684 --> 00:26:24,937
They said they'll call me as soon as
they know more and then
385
00:26:24,937 --> 00:26:27,282
and then I'll just come back first
thing in the morning.
386
00:26:27,283 --> 00:26:31,160
� Goodnight Monica.
� Night, night, sleep tight.
387
00:26:31,161 --> 00:26:33,916
Don't let the grandmothers by.
388
00:26:41,817 --> 00:26:45,050
Traitor, God's own
Benedict Arnold.
389
00:26:45,051 --> 00:26:47,315
And don't tell me
you met him too.
390
00:26:47,316 --> 00:26:50,452
I am not leaving
no matter how hard you try.
391
00:26:54,303 --> 00:26:56,887
We'll just see about that.
392
00:26:57,504 --> 00:27:00,523
She's not leaving.
393
00:27:01,871 --> 00:27:03,203
Oh no, don't tell me.
394
00:27:03,204 --> 00:27:06,755
Yes my name is Tess and
I am the angel on the floor tonight
395
00:27:06,756 --> 00:27:09,435
and I am not leaving you!
396
00:27:14,077 --> 00:27:16,780
Well if you think I am getting any
sleep tonight, just forget it.
397
00:27:17,936 --> 00:27:19,999
Well, I came prepared
for that too.
398
00:27:40,121 --> 00:27:42,215
.
399
00:27:49,917 --> 00:27:53,405
.
400
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,588
.
401
00:28:39,662 --> 00:28:42,398
That was you in 1920?
402
00:28:43,885 --> 00:28:45,002
Pretty good!
403
00:28:45,003 --> 00:28:46,915
So what's your favorite assignment?
404
00:28:46,916 --> 00:28:49,492
Tell me yours,
I'll tell you mine.
405
00:28:53,084 --> 00:28:56,098
I don't know if I can narrow it
down to just one.
406
00:28:58,553 --> 00:29:00,688
But the ones I can't forget
407
00:29:01,155 --> 00:29:03,920
they were the hardest of all.
408
00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:38,419
.
409
00:30:11,016 --> 00:30:15,095
My God! You were there?
In War World II?
410
00:30:15,096 --> 00:30:16,480
Yes!
411
00:30:16,888 --> 00:30:20,054
I never get over how God uses
everyday people
412
00:30:20,055 --> 00:30:22,286
to change the world!
413
00:30:24,742 --> 00:30:28,180
So, I told you ....
414
00:30:28,311 --> 00:30:31,944
now what were you favorite
assignments so far?
415
00:30:34,315 --> 00:30:36,800
Once I got to interview
Rosa Parks.
416
00:30:37,792 --> 00:30:39,780
She was a very
impressive woman.
417
00:30:40,157 --> 00:30:42,616
I know, I met Mrs. Parks.
418
00:30:43,463 --> 00:30:45,850
Oh, don't tell me
you were on the bus.
419
00:30:46,263 --> 00:30:51,601
No, you won't believe.
420
00:30:51,602 --> 00:30:54,619
� ... I was ...
� What?
421
00:30:55,543 --> 00:30:57,874
I was a black person for a day!
422
00:31:00,908 --> 00:31:02,415
Oh, I see.
423
00:31:03,887 --> 00:31:06,226
And this was God's idea?
424
00:31:06,582 --> 00:31:07,483
Yes!
425
00:31:16,385 --> 00:31:19,718
Come on, go back the other way
from the other side.
426
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:31,748
Hey, I found her!
427
00:31:37,376 --> 00:31:40,005
Oh God, oh Father please
428
00:31:41,862 --> 00:31:45,009
I am so afraid.
429
00:31:45,396 --> 00:31:49,724
Please, please,
make me white again.
430
00:31:55,806 --> 00:31:57,306
Please don't, please.
431
00:31:57,307 --> 00:31:59,969
Relax lady.
432
00:31:59,970 --> 00:32:01,768
Did you see a nigger woman
come through here?
433
00:32:04,952 --> 00:32:07,064
No.
434
00:32:07,967 --> 00:32:09,527
I'm sorry
if I scared you.
435
00:32:14,018 --> 00:32:16,469
I was so ashamed!
436
00:32:17,611 --> 00:32:19,713
Poor girl!
437
00:32:20,476 --> 00:32:23,992
I am shocked that
an angel ran off.
438
00:32:23,993 --> 00:32:27,473
But Mrs. Parks she helped me
to understand.
439
00:32:32,364 --> 00:32:35,508
Darling, dear Monica,
440
00:32:36,507 --> 00:32:39,949
He forgives and heals
441
00:32:41,913 --> 00:32:45,491
He heals angels too.
442
00:32:49,096 --> 00:32:51,659
It is my greatest regret.
443
00:32:53,124 --> 00:32:56,605
Monica, everybody
gets frightened.
444
00:32:57,612 --> 00:32:59,791
Your daughter says
that you never do.
445
00:33:00,649 --> 00:33:02,913
I am exceptional.
446
00:33:03,603 --> 00:33:07,241
Listen, if you think I am
sitting here, worrying about
447
00:33:07,242 --> 00:33:09,901
some results from some
stupid tests
448
00:33:12,897 --> 00:33:14,981
this is such a waist.
449
00:33:15,386 --> 00:33:17,352
I should not be
lying on this bed
450
00:33:17,352 --> 00:33:19,606
there is someone else
who could really use it.
451
00:33:21,114 --> 00:33:23,833
� Ah, what's up doc?
� Elizabeth!
452
00:33:25,555 --> 00:33:27,093
How are you doing?
453
00:33:27,094 --> 00:33:28,658
I thought you were
going to tell me.
454
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:35,676
Don't worry about Monica
just give me the headlines.
455
00:33:38,006 --> 00:33:40,649
You have a brain tumor.
456
00:33:47,805 --> 00:33:50,001
So, it could be benign.
457
00:33:50,002 --> 00:33:52,603
� Absolutely.
� And if it's not?
458
00:33:53,032 --> 00:33:55,255
Well, then we'll do
the best we can.
459
00:33:55,728 --> 00:33:58,841
Oh, doctors' talk,
saw you up, send you home.
460
00:33:59,163 --> 00:34:01,586
No, not necessarily.
461
00:34:02,329 --> 00:34:05,081
� Ok, we'll do this.
� Good.
462
00:34:05,925 --> 00:34:08,618
And I'll schedule the O.R.
for 6 a.m.
463
00:34:09,736 --> 00:34:11,362
Get some rest.
464
00:34:12,853 --> 00:34:15,357
Tell that to
your surgeon.
465
00:34:19,604 --> 00:34:21,840
Doctors are such idiots.
466
00:34:22,378 --> 00:34:24,018
Andrew is not an idiot.
467
00:34:24,019 --> 00:34:26,167
How would you know that?
468
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,799
Oh no, oh please,
this a conspiracy!
469
00:34:33,347 --> 00:34:35,887
Excuse me is someone
still awake in here?
470
00:34:35,888 --> 00:34:38,385
I need you to sign
this consent form.
471
00:34:39,290 --> 00:34:41,028
I called your daughter
472
00:34:41,029 --> 00:34:44,295
and I told her and Beth to
come at 8 o'clock in the morning
473
00:34:44,670 --> 00:34:45,999
and get some rest now.
474
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,644
No, I didn't ask you to call her,
did I ask you to call her?
475
00:34:48,776 --> 00:34:51,266
No, but I don't take orders from you
476
00:34:51,267 --> 00:34:53,020
if you know what I mean.
477
00:34:53,021 --> 00:34:54,830
Now I'll be back soon to prep you
478
00:34:54,831 --> 00:34:57,665
soon, as in not a lot of time.
479
00:35:01,327 --> 00:35:05,254
That woman, angel or whatever
she is, she is annoying!
480
00:35:07,057 --> 00:35:09,082
She is just
doing her job.
481
00:35:09,113 --> 00:35:11,527
Really?
And what is that?
482
00:35:11,538 --> 00:35:13,476
The same as mine,
483
00:35:13,477 --> 00:35:15,702
to prepare you for surgery.
484
00:35:15,871 --> 00:35:20,523
To remind you that it's God who
supports and sustains all life.
485
00:35:23,814 --> 00:35:25,729
Elizabeth
486
00:35:25,730 --> 00:35:29,731
I don't know what
the outcome of your surgery will be.
487
00:35:30,738 --> 00:35:32,991
But I do know that you don't want
to go in there
488
00:35:32,992 --> 00:35:36,555
without sharing the truth of God's love
to those who need to hear it.
489
00:35:37,832 --> 00:35:39,626
Don't deny them the truth.
490
00:35:39,653 --> 00:35:41,263
The whole truth
491
00:35:41,393 --> 00:35:46,137
and don't deny yourself the blessing
and joy of sharing it with them.
492
00:35:47,869 --> 00:35:52,720
No one knows how many days or
hours they have left in this life.
493
00:35:54,329 --> 00:35:57,285
Use the hours that you have.
494
00:35:58,038 --> 00:35:59,536
Please!
495
00:36:00,362 --> 00:36:03,171
Write The Last Chapter.
496
00:36:06,993 --> 00:36:10,287
Monica, this is out of the question.
497
00:36:11,710 --> 00:36:14,178
Because I left my computer home.
498
00:36:14,179 --> 00:36:16,448
That's not a problem.
499
00:36:22,188 --> 00:36:25,990
� Hello, Elizabeth.
� Oh Lord, not another one!
500
00:36:26,711 --> 00:36:28,316
Now I know I'm going.
501
00:36:28,763 --> 00:36:30,601
This is Gloria.
502
00:36:32,506 --> 00:36:34,573
It's such an honor to meet you.
503
00:36:34,574 --> 00:36:38,240
I've read your other chapters
and you had such a fascinating life
504
00:36:38,241 --> 00:36:41,118
I can't wait to see how it ends.
505
00:36:42,438 --> 00:36:46,279
The book, I mean, the book.
506
00:36:47,710 --> 00:36:51,668
Okay, dokey!
So, chapter 37.
507
00:36:51,669 --> 00:36:53,725
Here we go?
508
00:36:55,148 --> 00:36:56,951
Ok, here we go.
509
00:36:58,886 --> 00:37:01,468
The last drink I ever took
510
00:37:02,729 --> 00:37:04,687
I don't even remember pouring.
511
00:37:05,289 --> 00:37:07,963
I was lying on the couch
512
00:37:08,776 --> 00:37:10,191
I had a headache
513
00:37:41,802 --> 00:37:43,786
They are about to take her to prep.
514
00:37:43,787 --> 00:37:45,793
She is waiting for you.
515
00:37:45,794 --> 00:37:47,102
I know.
516
00:37:48,544 --> 00:37:50,406
It's just ....
517
00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:54,537
what do you say to your mother when
you know it could be the last time.
518
00:37:54,538 --> 00:37:57,249
Don't think that way mama.
519
00:38:05,085 --> 00:38:07,546
Oh God, Monica, I am not
ready to lose her yet.
520
00:38:13,452 --> 00:38:16,554
� Mom.
� Oh Sidney, you were right.
521
00:38:17,989 --> 00:38:21,329
It's Ok, it's all right,
I'm going to be fine.
522
00:38:22,178 --> 00:38:24,973
I'm going to go in there,
take this tumor out
523
00:38:24,974 --> 00:38:27,385
and I'll to be back out here
making you crazy again
524
00:38:27,386 --> 00:38:29,095
in no time.
525
00:38:29,096 --> 00:38:33,754
But listen there's something I need
you to do for me while I'm upstairs
526
00:38:35,883 --> 00:38:39,926
Monica has got this
funny little friend
527
00:38:40,396 --> 00:38:42,977
who is holding
this stuck of papers.
528
00:38:43,303 --> 00:38:45,778
It's The Last Chapter
from my memoirs.
529
00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:50,044
The one I didn't want to write
because I was afraid.
530
00:38:50,712 --> 00:38:53,123
Oh, I know you think I'm perfect
531
00:38:53,243 --> 00:38:55,817
and in most regards, I am.
532
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,736
But I've been holding on to
a couple of secrets
533
00:38:59,737 --> 00:39:01,537
that are getting a little too
heavy to carry
534
00:39:01,538 --> 00:39:04,681
so I want you to read
about them. Ok?
535
00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:08,397
And maybe hopefully
if I make it through this
536
00:39:09,434 --> 00:39:11,651
you'll forgive me.
537
00:39:13,093 --> 00:39:15,175
And if I don't...
538
00:39:15,176 --> 00:39:16,758
� Mom, don't please.
� Now, you listen to me too.
539
00:39:16,759 --> 00:39:19,467
If I don't...
540
00:39:20,511 --> 00:39:23,052
I know that you've forgiven me
anyway.
541
00:39:25,497 --> 00:39:28,560
Just know that
every word is true!
542
00:39:31,699 --> 00:39:34,807
That I love you both,
very much!
543
00:39:35,509 --> 00:39:37,421
I love you too grandma!
544
00:39:38,503 --> 00:39:41,361
We'll be waiting out here for you.
545
00:39:41,362 --> 00:39:43,843
I am counting on that.
546
00:39:44,715 --> 00:39:48,071
Ok, gentlemen please, let's get
the show on the road.
547
00:39:48,072 --> 00:39:50,091
The leader is running.
548
00:39:59,151 --> 00:40:02,378
Come on, let's sit down.
549
00:40:12,238 --> 00:40:14,670
The last drink I ever took
550
00:40:14,671 --> 00:40:17,219
I don't even remember pouring.
551
00:40:42,791 --> 00:40:46,926
Grandma, help me
grandma please.
552
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,169
Grandma, grandma.
553
00:41:33,737 --> 00:41:35,807
This is what you're looking for.
554
00:41:36,530 --> 00:41:39,520
Did I actually meet an angel?
Yes!
555
00:41:40,266 --> 00:41:43,837
Is God real?
Yes!
556
00:41:46,253 --> 00:41:49,639
Will every selfish colleague
of mine decide finally
557
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,298
that I lost my mind?
558
00:41:51,561 --> 00:41:53,159
Probably.
559
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:57,096
But tonight as I write what could be
the last chapter of my life
560
00:41:57,713 --> 00:42:00,159
I do not seek the
approval of the world
561
00:42:00,315 --> 00:42:03,254
I ask only the forgiveness
of my family.
562
00:42:03,444 --> 00:42:06,807
from whom I kept the wonderful
news of God's love
563
00:42:06,808 --> 00:42:09,051
secret for seven years.
564
00:42:10,361 --> 00:42:14,168
Bethy, an angel
carried you through that fire.
565
00:42:15,001 --> 00:42:16,603
You remember that
566
00:42:16,604 --> 00:42:19,645
whenever you start do doubt
just how special you are.
567
00:42:22,290 --> 00:42:26,187
Sidney, thank you
for being strong
568
00:42:27,978 --> 00:42:30,532
when I couldn't love myself
569
00:42:30,533 --> 00:42:33,690
and thank you for believing me
now when I say
570
00:42:33,691 --> 00:42:37,006
that you were God's
greatest gift to me!
571
00:42:38,624 --> 00:42:40,399
It's been a wonderful life.
572
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,571
I've seen so much
and survived so much
573
00:42:43,995 --> 00:42:49,097
only now can I admit that it's
all been through the grace of God.
574
00:42:50,326 --> 00:42:52,174
I hope that
it's not too late.
575
00:42:53,407 --> 00:42:54,875
Love, mom.
576
00:43:02,668 --> 00:43:04,900
Andrew.
577
00:43:05,306 --> 00:43:06,750
The operation is over.
578
00:43:20,091 --> 00:43:21,839
I got it.
579
00:43:49,449 --> 00:43:53,468
Mom, mom,
you're going to be Ok.
580
00:43:53,469 --> 00:43:56,448
It's benign.
