Oh, that lemon had a really thick rind.
Cheaper than condoms.
That's true.
Are you finishing yourself?
I'm untangling my testes, you know, it's really nice.
Baby, I'm sorry.
Would it help if you stretched first?
The stretching in the world will make my leg bend away.
You know what?
I had an idea.
Okay.
What if we choreographed moves like dancers?
Right? Step one, I lift my leg. Step two, you lift your leg. If you lift your
leg... I meant this as an example. And I lift my leg.
Okay. And you can... Pivot to your pelvis.
Oh, whoa.
I see you got your circulation back there.
Oh, yeah.
Joel?
Joel? Ooh.
Amber? You want to meet your parents.
I thought when you met the parents, I mean, meant something, you know?
I know.
I thought that this was going to be just a fling. I mean, you know, like a one
-night stand or something.
This one -night stand has lasted seven months.
I mean, come on, wouldn't you like a relationship to include just a little
more than sex?
Like what?
Like... talking.
About important stuff.
We talk about lemons. I mean, it's okay.
More important than lemons.
Like what happens when we have no more lemons?
No more lemons.
Look, we're getting to that age, right? Wouldn't it be better if we could make
that decision for ourselves?
Do you really want to end up with someone with like six fingers and...
Missing piece?
Come on!
We already act like an old married couple.
Look, if we don't do something now, we may lose everything that we have.
Look at me.
Can you really say goodbye?
You know, my mother always said, thrust the database.
I'm sure she did.
Let's get married, baby.
Okay.
Okay. Let's get married.
Nora, coffee tastes funny.
Tea.
Tea tastes fine.
You make some oatmeal.
This morning?
You
made
oatmeal this morning?
I ate it this morning.
We're out of oatmeal.
I just bought a large container of oatmeal.
I'm using it for mulch for the garden. Since when?
This morning.
You mad at me?
No.
It's been a long time since I had saltines for breakfast.
How are they?
Stale. Do I have any milk?
No. You sure you're not mad at me?
Yeah.
Birthday? No.
Anniversary? No.
Did I promise to do something today?
No.
You want to take a walk?
I took a walk this morning.
You are mad at me.
No.
Wish I had some oatmeal.
I'm sick about me.
You don't have to eat it.
You don't have to either.
It keeps me regular.
What doesn't keep you regular?
Came this morning.
Go ahead, read it.
Your pen, pal.
It's a very small note.
You let me know if he gets paroled.
Don't worry, he's never leaving prison.
Man has a lot of time on his hands.
Well, it's done.
It's done.
I wish you'd get another hobby.
Make me.
What did you decide about?
I'm going to go back to bed and pretend this is all a nightmare.
I don't have to pretend it is.
Nothing's changed from last night. You're fine just the way you are.
No, I'm really not.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it.
I'm willing to take big, big, so sorry, small steps.
If you told me 20 years ago... You wouldn't be here today.
How can you be so sure?
I think she's coming.
Yeah.
Hello,
my name is Fran Lind.
Welcome to your home.
Would you care for some lemonade?
Your dwelling is very humble.
Um, can I say something?
Not customary, but I do have a reputation for being something of a
That means I can say something, right?
Yes. I, I, we're...
We're grateful.
Yes, yes. Thank you. Everyone says it.
You two are in love, aren't you? Yeah. And you're probably feeling things.
Very strong things.
Yeah.
Feelings you've never felt before.
You are feeling feelings that other people have felt before. Think about
You can't walk around as if you're the very first people to ever fall in love,
because you're not. My husband and I were very much in love many, many years
ago, long before you were born. If we can fall in love, anyone can fall in
Yeah. Can you rewind that a little bit for me?
By figuring things out for yourselves, you defeat the whole purpose of learning
from an expert.
Shall we begin?
Yeah.
Yeah, you.
You.
May I have your seat?
Good.
How often do the two of you have sex with each other? Every night.
That often?
Seven days a week?
How unusual.
Couples will typically have sex only 2 .3 times a week.
Why do you have sex so often? It helps you fall asleep.
Do you have that much stress in your life?
Sex has been known to relieve tension.
Joel! No, it just helps me.
Do either of you use any drugs to enhance your sexual experience?
Yeah.
You use drugs during sex?
I mean, I mean, I use them, I use them in... So she likes it. Calm down.
How is the sex better when you use antihistamines?
Before we go to bed, I take some antihistamines just to pop my
sinuses. Sinuses?
Sinuses. If I don't, my sinuses gives me a hard time when I'm kissing the down.
Yeah.
Joel, I'm going to put down no as the answer to that question.
And do yourself a favor, if you're asked that question in future audits, answer
no.
Joel, this question is for you.
If you were in a rowboat with Amber and your mother, and the rowboat capsized,
and you could only save one of them, who would you save?
I can't swim.
Let's say you can for the sake of argument.
My mother knows how to swim.
That's not the question.
You said you can't even stand your mother.
She's my mother. What if she asks me? I can't lie to my mother, no.
Yeah, but you don't have to tell her anything.
Yeah, but if she knew that I picked you instead, she would be mad. I mean, you
know, how will I ever face her? I mean, come on.
How will you ever face me?
I pick Ander.
The right answer, right?
Now, let's move on to the instructional.
Let's get rid of the fence.
Or curtains.
A new carpeting to warm the place up.
Can't we leave things the way they are?
Books, you know, some shelves.
Plants.
So it looks like someone lives here.
Pictures on the wall.
We just take those away, too.
They didn't take away the table or the sofa.
They weren't illegal.
Just the pictures on the bookshelves.
I need more light.
I like it dark.
Let's paint the room black.
Don't be ridiculous. Nobody paints their living room black.
How hard can it be?
Can't we just leave things the way it is? It's always been like this.
It was nicer before.
It wasn't always like this. It was nicer before.
Carpet. What's wrong with the floors?
Well, nothing's wrong.
What do you want me to do?
Some natural light to come in.
I think an arch window is really nice.
There isn't enough room between the top of the window and the ceiling for an
arched window.
What did you sigh about?
I was making calculations.
Calculations don't make people sigh.
The window is 71 inches wide. A right triangle with a 12 inch rise along a 35
and one half inch run.
gives us the slope of 0 .338, which, by calculating this inverse tangent, gives
us an angle of 18 .68 degrees, which is the angle at which the arch would meet
the top of the window. 18 .68 degrees.
That's why I was sighing.
Yuck.
It's throwing your windows out of the question.
Knowledge doesn't happen in a vacuum.
I wouldn't be able to explain how I know what I know.
Well, how would they know?
Everything's the same every year for 20 years, except for an arched window. You
don't think the auditors will ask questions?
I can paint the walls, you know. Anybody can paint, no suspicion.
If you don't want to do it, get up and throw something or yell, scream,
anything.
I can paint the walls.
You would?
Keep my hands busy, my mind calm.
Well, build me a house.
Too many questions.
Do something original.
How? For God's sake, tell me how.
I've done everything you asked. What more can I possibly do?
Can't you see what's wrong with that?
Isn't that what I'm supposed to do?
If I wasn't here in your life... What would you have done? I don't want to
about that.
What did I interrupt?
What did I keep you away from?
Who did I keep you away from?
Some pictures from faraway places would have looked nice on that wall.
Fire towards the foundation.
Let the neighbors see the smoking ones around.
I see everything in here buried in ash.
Can't do that.
I want to keep trying, but I don't know how.
Can we just use the bed?
We changed protocol several years ago. Some of our young clients would get
randy.
Let's begin.
Oh, that's no longer part of the protocol either.
So, Amber, would you mind sitting back and let Joel come to you?
Thank you.
Now, Joel, it's customary for the man
to lead.
Statistics bear out that in the long term, coupling is most successful when
male is dominant.
I thought that if either one was dominant... Have you two been
with alternatives?
I mean, you just hear stories and...
You know, makes you wonder and... It's all about experiences, though.
That's why these site visits are so important.
Now, Joel, it's customary for the man to lead.
Yeah. What if there were two men?
Who lives then?
Who have you been hearing these stories from?
It's a pure story.
You two do understand why this is so important, why we take this so
Yes.
It's important.
that I hear you two say it.
Strong individuals lead to strong couples.
Strong couples lead to strong families. Strong families lead to strong
communities. Strong communities lead to a strong nation. Wait.
Let Joel finish.
And a strong nation leads to a strong economy, which makes everybody strong.
I'm glad to see you've read through the application thoroughly. Not everyone
does. Now, let's assume all the preliminaries are completed and you are
sufficiently moist. Now, Joel, get down on all fours and climb on top of her.
Amber, your job is to help guide him inside you.
What if he's not hard?
If you're moist, then he's hard. That's Mother Nature's synchronicity. Joel,
once you're inside her, thrust.
No, not like that.
From the hip.
One.
Twice.
If you can thrust three times before ejaculating, consider yourself ahead of
curve. Okay, darling, you can stop now. Okay.
That's why we have you do this fully clothed.
The whole purpose for this instructional is to help dissipate your impulse for
experimentation. I'm bending a little rule here, showing this to you, but
I want to give you a taste of what you can look forward to.
One thousand one ways to enjoy the missionary position.
One... Abstinence -only instructionals proved ineffective.
Our founding fathers commissioned this study.
If you can't outlaw behavior, then you must regulate it.
This saved my marriage.
I guess I'm just used to doing it on holidays, anniversaries, birthdays.
Guess what?
This is my real birthday.
Happy birthday.
Pretend that you're a teenager and I'm your girl and this is your
parents' bed and they're not home. Tell me what you'd say to me.
Make me take my clothes off.
Oh, I don't know.
Gee, it's hot in here.
Yes, it is. I think I'll take this off.
No, no, no, don't.
It doesn't work and I don't want to hurt your feelings.
Look at me.
I'm more dignified than this.
Pretend that this is an expensive hotel room.
We can't afford that.
You live in a sleazy, cheap motel room.
And I'm a hooker that you picked up. I wouldn't cheat on you. I'm your wife.
You're my wife. You are my wife.
Then I'm your mistress.
What is wrong with how we've been doing it? How have we been doing it? You know.
Pretend that I don't.
We get dressed up.
You put on your black dress, I put on my suit and shoes, and we walk across the
street to the tavern.
We eat.
We ask the tavern owner what's a good word. He tells us about his son who he
hasn't seen for years.
Then we walk back, we put away our clothes, we climb in a bed, and then we
love. And why can't we do that tonight?
The tavern is closed.
ever dream about your future?
I wondered what my funeral would be like.
Not so far in the future.
It wasn't that far.
I didn't think I'd live this long.
I'm used to things a certain way.
I like you just sitting in the bed.
And you're sitting here.
I'm here.
Yes.
Just sitting here. Just sit.
Like this? Exactly like this.
Then what?
Just sit.
You're lost in your thoughts. I'm lost in mine.
Suddenly I realize that you're sitting right there and I can't concentrate.
I feel the heat tumbling off your body.
Do I really have erections while I'm asleep?
Thought I had another pair of underwear Here
Are you still mad about dinner?
She can afford her own dinner.
I was just trying to be polite.
Yeah, well, your being polite could have been viewed as an attempt at bribery.
Thousands of couples go through this.
We have nothing to worry about.
You don't know what ridiculous law you might be breaking.
Like what?
They outlawed hairpins because some idiot was using them to pick locks.
We have to be on our best behavior. We don't know how they're judging us.
I did a bad thing.
Oh, my God.
How did you get that?
I don't know. What if she wants to read it tonight? I don't know.
What does she need a sex manual for? I mean, it's all already saved your
mood, so I thought... This is a book. We can't have this.
I know it's a book, but... Stop it. What?
Number 42.
The missionary position should always be enjoyed during the evening hours. It
gives the couple a tangible goal to work toward during the day.
Undertaking the missionary position during the morning hours is strongly
discouraged because it depletes vital physical and mental resources needed for
job -related tasks.
I win. I don't have to have sex with you in the morning. I'm always horny in the
morning. What?
Number...
371. Okay. What?
Listen. Yeah?
Couples may attempt multiple episodes of the missionary position.
Okay. I'm here. However, the period between erections
may vary depending on the male. During these periods, the female may
engage in other activities such as laundry.
But I always do the laundry.
Because you like it.
You should hide this. Okay.
I
went
to the supermarket today.
Well, you're just full of surprises.
I know.
Do you want to know what I heard?
Tell me.
Sit back and relax.
This is a toothbrush.
It vibrates 30 ,000 times a second.
It's good for loosening up the plug beneath the gum line.
But if I slowly...
Put on your clitoris.
Ow!
God, you're not supposed to use the bristle ant.
Oh, are you hurt?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Do you want me to do something about it?
No.
Did you use your toothbrush or mine?
You only need a toothbrush.
How come we hardly ever use the missionary position?
Because it hurts my back.
Actually...
Back's kind of knotted up right now
That
spot right there
Let's write it down before I forget.
Number 753.
The heightened pleasure from using a ribbed condom is an urban myth.
Despite its higher cost, countless scientific studies have proven that
ribbed condom does not appreciably provide any additional pleasure for the
Thank you.
Oh, my God.
Oh, are you hurt?
No, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Nothing's broken.
Nothing's broken. I'm okay.
I'm okay.
I'm missing something now.
Do you see it on the stairs?
You think... No, I don't see it anywhere.
Do you think it's, uh... I
need
a flashlight.
No,
I couldn't have wedged it that far up there. It's one of the very expensive
kinds. It's ribbed.
You didn't notice?
We have a perfectly good bed.
Well, I'm just not used to these angles and all this light.
You know what I want to do? I want to do it in every single room. In the
kitchen, in the basement, in the attic.
Today?
It doesn't have to be today.
I can make a plan.
Can you just check and see if it's... You know, this floor is slippery.
I can't keep my balance.
Well, you take your socks off. Then my feet get cold. We have a perfectly good
bed.
You don't have to do it the same way every time. You know what you could do?
You could touch me up here before you touch me down there.
Be nice.
Let me just check and see if it's in there.
I'll need a flashlight.
No, you don't. Yeah, I feel more comfortable with a flashlight.
How do you say, you know, can you, how do you, you know, when you see the
and you go ah, how do you say ah?
The same way.
Can you say ah?
I don't feel anything.
Keep trying.
I don't feel anything.
Keep trying.
I don't feel anything.
This makes me nervous.
What if you get pregnant?
I'd be the happiest woman in the world.
Our relationship algorithm has been battle -hardened through many years of
practical service Intelligence, temperament, socialization are all
take under consideration.
Error rates are statistically insignificant.
Longitudinal studies show our database demonstrates far more successful
couplings than random pairings.
After all, marriage is... Excuse me. Marriage is the bedrock of our society.
Okay.
Can we get married now?
This is the hardest part about my job.
Though you two seem very polite and happy together, your
compatibility chart would indicate that you are... How do I say this?
Not compatible.
No, that can't be. Your predispositions are insurmountable. No wonder you two
get along at all.
On paper, you shouldn't.
Can't we take more tests?
We don't need to waste our time with any further testing. Sometimes the data is
self -evident. You can tell a child will grow up to be a gifted politician by
the way he avoids responsibility.
So what happens now?
Your data will be fed into a computer and you'll be indexed with someone more
suitable. What?
A stranger?
In most cases.
I mean, do we have to go through with that process?
Once you've declared your eligibility for marriage, you can't undeclare. It's
the institution that's important.
The details are interchangeable.
Without the haze of lust, only can true compatibility be found.
Maybe even love.
As he approaches infinity...
Successful couples who base their decisions on sexual attraction
zero.
You will save yourself the undue burden of your inevitable divorce fees.
I'm somehow confused.
You will be married, just not to each other.
Isn't there some way that we can work around the system?
How would that happen?
That would be my turn.
I'm sorry, baby.
How was it if we had something that was
valuable to you?
Officer!
Officer! Officer!
Will I have any trouble with you?
Close the door.
Lock it.
Get the blinds.
Where'd you go?
Do you know what this is? Oh, Michael.
A tomato.
Thought of by the general population as a vegetable, but classified by botanists
as a fruit.
The confusion created by the endless lawsuits led to an outright ban by the
government 17 years ago. But the real reason was because archaeologists
discovered definitive proof that this was the forbidden fruit of the Garden of
Eden, not the pomegranate.
A banana.
It might have had the same fate as the tomato, but not so many scientists were
passionate about reclassifying it as an herb.
It was banned 10 years ago because its public consumption was deemed too
sexually provocative.
Dried sea cucumber.
I don't know how anybody could mistake this for vegetable sea cucumbers.
were banned because, though never scientifically proven, they were
be a powerful aphrodisiac.
Beer. Considered the drink of the common man.
The government banned this because it had decreed that no one should consider
themselves common.
If I drink this, can we please go back to the way things were before?
I'm not mad at you.
Then why are you sleeping on the sofa?
Well, if there's any disagreements between us, it's... It's...
Well, you just smooth over it as if it was nothing to you and... I don't want
upset you.
I feel more like you're...
roommate than I do your wife ever since the diagnosis.
I miss the missingness in our lives.
Well, isn't that the goal?
Yeah, but where's the prize? Where's the trophy for winning?
I don't know. I don't know what you want.
Just ask me. What if I can't give it to you? Don't you think I know you well
enough after all these years to know what you're capable of?
What do you What can I do for you?
Tell me a story like you used to when you were reading all those books of
yours.
I ran out of stories.
I don't mind hearing them a second time.
They're just fantasies written by people who follow their dreams about people
who follow their dreams.
Who writes stories about people who don't follow their dreams?
I don't mind if...
I've heard it before.
The poetry of our youth, the clichรฉs that we used, the
stories that everyone tells about the shared experiences of fulfillment and
but the pain of a broken heart remains the same.
I never thought of you as a roommate.
When did you write that stuff?
After we met, you never talked to me.
Well, it did take us a while.
People are quite nice here.
Nothing like the stories you've heard.
It's like being at work.
Tells what to do.
When to do.
It's not fair.
This is all my fault. I should be in there, not you.
No one has the right to keep the people apart.
No one.
We are apart.
I know what I feel.
That's the most important part.
I love you.
Who knows how love works?
Sometimes I wish that we didn't use lemons.
It could be you're on your way to being a dad, and I could be on my way to being
a mom.
What if we have to follow the rules?
We'll get through this.
We will, I mean.
It's not gonna go anywhere.
You don't have to worry about cheating on you.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
They're moving forward with me.
What do you mean?
I mean, the database has matched me with someone who
will complement my personality and provide me with long -term stability.
Oh, God, I hate that word.
I won't feel a thing for it.
I'll get out of here.
I promise you that.
I'll get out of here.
It's not that cold.
Slow down.
Take bigger steps.
We have a perfectly good dining room at home. Table, tablecloths, plates,
utensils, silverware.
Why do I have to sit on the cold ground like beggars?
Picnic.
Not that far.
It'll be fun.
I'm sweating, man. I'm cold. How did mankind ever survive this kind of
People for you.
My grandmother used to bring me up here for picnics.
She told me stories about some of the dates she had up here.
It's pretty romantic.
Grandfather didn't seem like the type.
No, it was before him.
Your grandmother told you stories about... There was this one boyfriend
a really black, hairy chest.
I want to hear about your grandmother's boyfriend.
He chiseled her name somewhere on this rock.
Who brings a chisel on a date?
Did your grandfather ever chisel her name into a rock?
No, that's probably why they stayed married as long as they did.
You okay?
She lost her virginity on this rock.
I want to hear about your grandmother's virginity.
I want to make love to you here.
Wasn't the stairs weird enough?
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Listen, we found a really great place for a picnic back there. We passed.
I'm okay.
I remember diapers.
I remember slippers.
I remember stale milk.
I remember bathrobes.
I remember plastic toys.
I remember carpeting.
I remember swimming pools.
I remember bicycles.
I remember slingshots.
I remember tree houses. I remember snowball fights.
I remember holding hands. I remember sitting in the sun. I remember talking
until dawn. I remember... I remember laundry.
I remember Cal.
I remember him throwing a ball around.
I remember cutting his hair.
I remember doing his homework. I remember reading to him.
I remember, Cal.
You haven't seen your son since he was two years old.
But I remember.
Like the time we all had dinner together, me and Cal and you and Amber.
time that was.
Never happened, man.
I remember.
You should remember, too.
It started low with Charlie.
He'd tell me his stories and after a while he'd tell them to me again.
I'd tell him my stories and soon I found myself telling him the same stories
again. The scary part was that Charlie didn't mind hearing my stories over and
over again.
And after a while I didn't mind either.
We just run out of memories.
What happens to a man when he runs out of memories?
I never took small steps. I always took big steps.
Every time, it just terrified the hell out of me. You don't think it was a big
step when we got together?
That was a huge step for me. You wouldn't stop talking. I had no idea
were talking about. If I didn't stop talking, you wouldn't leave.
And then you decided to stay, and that was the night that I wished would never
end.
The night still hasn't ended. What? The night still hasn't ended.
Did you see? I thought I had a second chance.
What do you mean?
I was a teenager, you know. She was the girl all the teenage boys wanted to
know. She came down with a bad case of nodules on her throat, and she couldn't
speak. So she'd be sitting there.
She'd be sitting there.
writing notes as fast as she could, everyone just talking. I came up with my
pad, and I wrote her a note, and she looked at me, and she was
my girlfriend for like two weeks, and I wrote things that I could never say out
loud, and after a couple of weeks, the nodules went away, and I wrote her a
letter, told her I loved her.
She never wrote back.
Is that where you go when you're inside your head?
Every time I tell you I love you, I feel like such a hypocrite because I said
the same words to her.
Well, say something else.
Something you'd only say to me.
What did you say after I read your poem?
That I never thought of you as a roommate.
That's good.
No, I like...
No one else would ever say those words to me.
I'd know what you mean when you'd say them to me.
That I never thought of you as a roommate?
That you mean what you feel now and not what you felt when you
said I love you through throat, nodule, girl.
Why did you think of her?
Oh, I don't know.
Saw her. I think I saw her a couple of weeks ago just out and about. And there
was, you know, a little schoolboy again looking in an empty mailbox.
Are you going to see her after?
Oh, how sad would that be?
Are you going to see her after?
No, that would be wrong.
Are you going to see her after?
You won't remember me.
Are you going to see her after?
20 years you never hinted that you wanted to go picnicking.
You never told me about throat and nodule girl either.
I never wanted you to think that you were my second choice.
I'm going to make a fire.
Don't let go!
Don't let go!
Don't let go!
There is so little in here to hold on to.
for me to believe that the world is a better place than me in here.
Yes, on paper.
I only let him touch me when I have to.
birthdays, holidays, anniversaries.
You know, Amber, you have to tell me something.
I don't care how much you think you'll hurt me, but... you haven't told me
anything.
Looking at you through this glass and I can tell if you're real or not.
Love you so much, baby.
Love you so much.
I need that.
I need that.
Give me something to dream of.
If we... If we were smart, you know we'd never...
Fourth grader now.
He could be telling the long division now.
It's the only thing I have, Amber.
The only thing I have.
You know?
Give me some.
Give me some.
You have to live for both of us.
I don't want to live.
Maybe Fran was right about romantic love.
It's all about the hormones, right?
How can you know I could be a terrible husband?
A terrible husband.
No, you wouldn't have been.
I hate the way my name sounds when he calls it.
It reminds me too much of you.
So... I make him call me by my middle name.
Thank you.
was far less regimented back then.
You didn't always know who was coming in and who was going out of your life.
You didn't know what was going to happen next.
I prefer the security of not knowing.
No, you don't.
You try very hard not to know what will happen next.
My grandmother told me that when two people joined, it was a celebration.
Giant party.
People traveling for miles around just to be with you.
And wear their fanciest clothes.
And everyone would cry.
Can you imagine traveling so far just to come and cry?
And she told me about the food.
how much and the different kinds she would eat.
A large cake, so large two people can stand on it.
And afterwards, after everyone has traveled so far to be
with you and cry with you, you leave them to go somewhere else, far, far
away.
So what did you wish for?
Database tells us whether or not we should marry, whether or not we should
kids. Did everything I was supposed to do.
How come I don't feel like a grown -up?
You know what I thought?
I always thought you were scheming for us to have a baby of our own in secret
and raise it.
ourselves, educated ourselves, raise it into a person outside an unknown system.
I wish we could do that.
Is that what you wished for?
I wish that you had gotten sick sooner so the insurance company would consider
saving your life more cost effective.
You need your medicine?
I stopped taking the painkillers. You need to go to the hospital.
I don't want to die alone.
Who am I going to tell my stories to?
I wasn't trying to escape.
You have a stupid tag around my ankle and
a chip in bed.
My shoulder brace.
I haven't had much of a life here.
But you, you have a chance for more.
You have a chance for a great life.
Take it.
Take it.
Promise you'll be... be happy for you.
Be happy for you.
What we have is a promise that we shouldn't have made in the first place.
We should...
And it is true.
My name is Fran Lind.
I'm here to do the paperwork on your wife's death.
Oh, yes. I've been expecting you. Please.
My sincerest condolences.
My husband passed on a few years ago.
He was a punctual man.
Please, sit down.
Moving? Yes, it doesn't make much sense for one person to live here.
You could always take on a boarder or a roommate.
You don't have to walk around as if you were the very first people... I'm sorry.
What did you say?
You wanted me to sign something?
Form GF976.
Revision 7.
That's very important.
If this was revision 6, I'd have to come back.
Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?
Oh, I wonder, could you do me a favor?
I was going through my wife's things, and I found this, and I'm not
quite sure what agency it should go to.
I think I've read this before.
Are you all right?
The whole purpose for this instructional is to dissipate.
Dissipate.
I forgot what I was trying to say.
I'm sure it'll come back to you.
This book saved my marriage.
My sincerest condolences.
It was nice to meet you.
Have you thought about what you'll do now?
Um, travel?
I don't know. Is it hard to get a travel permit?
Yes.
Yes.
be here if you try to visit.
By the time you read this, I'll have moved on.
My prison shouldn't be your prison.
I'll be in a better place.
Love him while you can.
And live for the two of us.
