That's very interesting.

My doctor brings mea glass of water.

Okay, Doc, I think thisis the place in the movie

where I'm supposed to say,"Give it to me straight."

All right.

It's worse than your first tests would have indicated.

Your other doctors were right.

What has happened is

a series of lesions, more than 80,

have spread out across your chest cavity.

In the x-rays, it looks like a star exploding.

It's an unusually aggressive type of cancer.

Extraordinary, really.

Extraordinary?

How about that?

Mr. Griffin, you probably have

about another year to live.

Not more than two.

So, you can't operate?

No.

Is there anythingout there? Anything?

In development or in Europe,or something that canbuy me some time?

I'm afraid not.

You can't save my life?

No.

Can you validate my parking?

Kirk, give methe ball!

Hey, boys, two on one. You think you could beat your old man?

You don't evenlike basketball.

Oh, I don't know about that.

You know, I've been working on one of those...

Yeah, like that, one of them sky-hook-type things.

I've been practicing.

You work all the time. When do you have time to practice?

You can't stop me. You can only hope to contain me.

Come on.

What're you doing here?

Playing some basketball.

You know, you're supposed to call first.

PROFESSOR: The frustration and fear of it is based on society's history

of trying to figure out everything.

Control everything, conquer everything.

We've learned to fly, travel in space, bend atoms to our will,

but we can't conquer death.

I'm sorry, I got... I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Take a seat.

Oh, God! I'm so sorry, sister.

And to say "God."

Keep in mind, during this course,

that we are all dying a little more every day,

and yet...

Excuse me, is thisPunic Wars I & II?

I'm sorry, what?

Is this classPunic Wars I & II?

No, this is Psychological Processes of Death and Dying.

I'm sorry, I'm not in...

I'm sorry.

PROFESSOR: For when weperceive that our momentsare finite,

well, class, they are finite

from the moment of birth.

What?

PROFESSOR: And yet,

remember,death is part of life.

Excuse me, I'm just changing seats.

Go on.

Thank you.

We lie to children througheuphemisms aboutthree things in life.

The bedroom, the bathroom...

I think you shouldjust be a little more serious.

Me?Yeah.

You shouldn't be laughing at the Punic Wars.

A lot of people died during those wars, you know,

both I and II.

Yes, very sad. A lot of peoplewere killed. A lot of Punics.

That's one of the reasonsyou don't see manyPunics anymore.

Shh.

Obviously, this isn't interesting to you, Mr...

Let me see. You moved. Mr. Griffin.

Yeah. Sorry.

You got me inso much trouble.

GRIFFIN: You a student here?

I'm the assistant dean of academic standards for the university.

No kidding?No kidding.

What about you, Mr. Griffin?You don't strike me asthe pre-psychology type.

Are you a full-time studenthere, or are you takingDeath and Dying for fun?

What's your name?

Phoenix. Griffin,my last name is Phoenix.

Okay, Phoenix.

No, I'm not a full-time student here.

I did take a writing classonce, but that didn't go well.

It's all those words.

I sell life insurance.

The company encourages us to continue our education, like this class today.

Help us deal with...

Well, gives us a better understanding of our customers.

Ah.

Every answercan't be fascinating.

No, I guess not.

Well,

it was fun. Bye.

Wait a minute.

It's early. I know a really great Italian place.

So do I.

What's that?What are you doing? I mean, what's going on here?

I thought... Wasn't something happening?

You know, you and I?

You and me?

Look, Griffin, your quirkycharm and odd knowledgeof military history

aren't gonna get youinto my evening

or my life or any placeelse you were thinkingabout getting into.

It was fun,let's leave it at that.

All right, Phoenix, don't flatter yourself.

My life's a little bit complicated right now.

So is mine.

Fine, then we understand each other.

You may not know this about me, but I only get bold about every five years.

And today is my day.

So, if you're seeing somebody,great. If you just broke upand hate men, fine.

If you have other problems, you have my sympathy.

But since it's my day,

I'm just gonna tell you where and when we're gonna have dinner together.

7:30, Wednesday night, corner of Bleecker and Macdougal.

Damn, the name escapes me,

but it's got a yellow awning out front.

So, if you don't show up, it's all right. It's fine with me.

I don't really care, anyway.

And you were right. It was fun.

Sir, would you like to order something?

No, no, I think I'm waiting for someone.

Maybe in a minute.

Don't get up.

Oh, quit looking so pleasedwith yourself. I just...

Good evening, can I get yousomething from the bar?

Oh, dear God, yes.

Belvedere martini with a twist, please.

Belvedere, you got it. Thank you.

You know what we're gonna do tonight?

After we eat, when we're done with dinner?

We're gonna do something...

Can we wait and see if wecan make it through a dinnertogether first?

You're a very strange person.

That may be true but you're here.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Well, tonight, you're gonna do something

that you secretly dreamed of your whole life,

but never had the nerve to do it.

Okay, stop right there.You know, I'm not drunk yet.

Get on it.

It's just dinner.

If you're into some, you know,weird sex freaky thing,

you know,you got the wrong girl.

To hold me overtill the liquor gets here.

What did you have in mind?

This is against the law, right?

Oh, pretty sure, yeah.

What do you think they do to you if we get caught?

Oddly enough, very few peoplehave gotten away withwhat we're about to do.

Those who have been caught,it's lethal injection.

You did it!

All right, I'll open the door,

you go inside. That way,if you're caught,I can run away.

Terrible plan.

Okay, let's go together.Are you ready?

Now?

Wrong door.

Why, what's the matter?

Subtitled. Foreign film.

It'll be okay. It's foreign.

That means there'll be naked people.

Well, there's something.

Will you go up to the concession stand and steal me some Milk Duds?

Oh, it's impossible.

You know, they keepthose things under glass.

People have beentrying for years.There's just no way.

Please? I can't enjoy breaking...

Excuse me, sir,

but you need to get up right now and come with me to the manager's office.

Well, I'd rather not.

I understand, in a minute, there might be some naked people.

There are other people inthis theater. This is my ship,you're just a passenger.

But if you wanna have a scene,we can have a scene.

No, we'd both liketo meet your boss.

All right then, come on.

Actually, I'm glad you came over 'cause, see, she's been drinking,

and, frankly, she's just out of control.

You think he'd mind ifwe stopped andgot my Milk Duds?

Go down the aisle and out the back door.

Go down the aisle and out the back door.

You're quite mad,do you know that?

Oh, my wife,she left her purse,that's all.

We got a runner. Son of a bitch!

What? What you all looking at?

I don't think he's following.

That was fantastic!

That was so fun!

Yeah, it was.

You wanna walk?

As opposed to run? Absolutely.

Where to?

Don't get me wrong, watching the sunrise is a beautiful idea,

but I'm telling you,Griffin, the sun usuallycomes up in the east.

Well, you never know.

Always a first time.

I've had more fun with youtonight than I've hadin a long time.

I've had more fun with me than I've had in a long time.

If I didn't thinkI'd start liking you so much,

I'd probablysee you again.

Wait. Where'd you just go?

I thought we were having a fun time, right?

You ever not wanta new day to start?

Why do you think we're facing in this direction?

Just can't get involvedwith anyone right now.

Who said anything about getting involved?

Right. No one did. Right.

Back to flattering myself again.

Thanks for the coffeeand the night out.

Don't you want your coffee?

Bye, Griffin.Try to stay out of prison.

Can I call you?

Good morning.

Morning, Peri.

Oh, my God, you look terrible.

First of all, thank you for the nice compliment.

Second of all,you are so fired.

You can't fire me. I'm the only one who loves you.

Typed classroom reviews for your signature.

You do love me.

I'll get you some coffee.

I already had some, thanks.

You already had coffee?

Yes.

You had coffee?

Oh, my God, you got up early. You never get up early.

I don't, do I?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute.

Had coffee, look like crap, definitely cranky.

You didn't get up early. You stayed up late.

You did, didn't you?

Bye. Close the door, please.

You did!

You did stay up late!

You are now required to tell me everything.

Close the door.

You, on the other side.

Nothing?

Mr. Griffin, as I have beentelling you for months,

as I am now telling you again,

and as I am sure I willhave to keep telling you,

what you need isto consider a hospital stay.

It's the only way if you wantto slow down the process.

I still don't understandwhy you continueto refuse treatment.

We do have the abilityto prolong your life.

What's left of my life is not gonna be spent in a hospital.

Not until I have to, anyway.

Could you just get me something for the pain?

Okay.

But since youwon't listen to me,

if I give you a list,will you at least readsome books?

Yeah. Yeah, I love books.

Need anything else?

Just time. You got any on you?

PHOENIX: No, Mother, you act like I broke up with David.

He didn't want me.He wanted to...

He wanted to see other people.

No.

It's hard for meto believe, too.

I am so magical.

Yes, I know,I'm getting older,thanks for reminding me.

I'd almost forgotten.

Listen, Mother, I've gotta go.I'm having friendsover for dinner.

No, just friends.

Everybody's at the door. I'm hanging up now.

You should know I hate surprises.

Hate them. Never had anything but bad surprises.

They just hit my button, Griffin.

Showing up at my work constitutes a surprise.

Are you really surprised?

I'm thinking about it.

Let's go eat,and I'll think some more.

Okay, then.

Sit. Stay a while.

I read that it's important after Indian food to not operate heavy machinery,

and not stand around a handsome man's apartment

with your jacket on.

I don't knowwhat I'm doing here.

You're drinking wine.

Have you noticed that we neverask each other anythingabout the other person?

Yes, I have noticed. I was just about to ask you about that.

Very funny.

It's not that I don't havea good time with you.

A good timeis what you are.

But you haven't even asked me what my first name is. Why is that?

I don't know.

Hey, you like my apartment?

See, what I do is I wait for people to throw junk out on the street

and then I go shopping.

I don't wanna make small talkabout your apartment.

Okay. What do you want?

I don't know what I want.

I don't know what I want.

I wanna go home.

Didn't we do this once already?

Good night, Griffin.

Good night, Griffin?

How about a "Thank you,I had a nice time"?

Thank you, I had a nice time.

Good night, Griffin,

whoever you are.

GRIFFIN: Here's a question.

Of all superpowers,what would you like?

ANDREW: I would like... Actually, I would like heat vision.

GRIFFIN:Heat vision? Wow.

I would like to fly.But I would like to flyin a certain way.

I would like to flystanding up, just a coupleof inches off the ground.

You know, it's morelike floating along...

KIRK: Gliding.Gliding.

Remember, don't yank it,like a lightsaber.

Oh, here, keep the line taut.

Can't feel the fishif you don't.

Dad, I don't think there's any fish out there.

Oh, they're out there,all right.

Nothing like good fishing.

Good fishing? This is good fishing?

But we haven't caught anything.

Well, whenyou catch something,that's great fishing.

This is good fishing.

I'm bored.

You know what? I'm bored, too.Let's get out of here.

That's it, crank it.

That's good. There you go.

Here, I'll take that.

That wasn't fun, was it?

Sure, Dad,it was fun.

It was okay.

Hey, Kirk, you drive.

What?

Here, you drive.

Hey, Kirk, you sureyou've never done this before?

Been driving?

No, Dad, this is my first time.

Well, Son, I'll tell youthis for free,

you are one super driver.

Thanks.

Well, how about from now on,on our weekends together,

we always go out driving?

When I get my license,I want a car just like yours.

Just like this one.

Just like this one, I guarantee it.

Be there.

Hello?

Hey, what the hell is your first name, anyway?

Griffin?

Yeah.

What happened to you? I came back but you were gone.

You were gone, right?

Yeah, it's a long story. But I'm home now. Come on over.

Was everything all right?

Yeah, it is now. Come on over.

Hey, Phoenix, this is the bestnote anyone's ever left me.

Phoenix?

The thing is... See, the thing is I...

I don't think we're such a good idea.

What are you talking about?

Come on over. We'll talk about it here.

I'm just not in a good place.

It's just not a good time forme to start seeing someone.

Well, what?

What is this on-again, off-again relationship farce?

You're the one that wrote the note.

I'm reading it right now.It says you wanna see me.

So, why don't you come on over here

and drink some wine or make love or something?

I mean, let's get on with it.

Hello?

I don't know what else to tell you.

I don't get it. Help me.

Help me.

Bye, Griffin.

You got the wrong door. Nobody you know lives here.

Open the door.

Who is it?

It's Sarah.

Sarah who?

Sarah Phoenix.

I thought we were off again.

You were wrong. We're on again.

So let's get on with it.

Okay.

PHOENIX: What are you thinking about?

Oh, just looking at the moon.

Wrong answer.

Unless by "moon," you mean my fabulous ass.

Griffin, it's all right.

That's the right response. You'd have to say that.

That's the truth.It ain't the end of the world.

It's probably the only wayyou could play it.

I think it's the advice theygive in the women's magazines.

"Say it's all right."

However, it's not all right.

You know it's not all right.I know it's not all right.

They have these little blue tablets now.

Supposedly, it's four hours of magic.

I take a medication.It's a blood pressure thing.

So I can't do that.

Okay.

I'm not damaged down there or anything.

Something happened a few months ago.

I've had trouble ever since then.

What something happened?

Something.

Okay.

Wanna know a secret?

Holding is very nice.

Phoenix.

I've two sons in Westchester.

They live with their momand their soon-to-be-new dad.

Thank you.

For what?

For telling me something about your life. Thank you.

Is that where you went the other night?

Yeah.

My ex and I had quite the drama.

It turns out her husband-to-beis not sucha bad guy after all.

I've decided I don't like him, anyway.

Good.

Did you get to see your boys?

Yeah.

I was able to tellthem something I...

Something I should havetold them a long time ago.We had a good talk.

"Facts of life" talk?

One of them.

That's good. That's one down.

Let's have an adventure.

All right, well, what else is on your I've-always-wanted to-do-this list?

What?

You know, something you're just dying to do.

Fly to Paris, climb Everest, rob a bank, start smoking.

There's gotta be something.We do have all afternoon free.

It's true, we do.What was the third one again?

I'm being semi-serious here.

We'd need a gun to rob the bank.

You have to take this seriously.

Pick something else for now.

There was one thing I...

I haven't thought aboutthis for a long time.

Whatever it is, why don't you?

Oh, I don't know.

Why don't we?

You know, we're gonna feelpretty silly if this traindoesn't come along.

Not as silly as we're gonna feel if it does.

Come on.

You think we missed it?Did I make us miss it?

Well, the guy at the station said 3:40.

Come on, there's a place up here it's gotta slow down.

I'm sorry I was late.

We should be all right.

Just... Well,I didn't know what to wear.What?

I changed three times.Don't laugh. It was hardto figure out.

I never hoppeda freight train before.

What do we do? What do we do?

Hide. We gotta hide.

Come on.

You don't have totry and stop the train.

Just hang on to it,the train'll do the rest.

Okay.Okay.

Ready? Maybe right afterthe tank, there. Ready?

Ready?Yeah.

Go!

We should go out to dinner.

I'm starved!

How can you live like this, Griffin?

What about the place with the thing out front?

Hey, I think I found a...

Looks like...

Dear God, I don't know what it is.

Now I know why hobos eat right out of the can.

PHOENIX: There's garbageon top of the couch, there'sgarbage underneath the couch.

Today, on that train, was fantastic. It was just perfect.

Till I realized you weren't there, then it was just kind of perfect.

You know, getting offone of those things is a lot harder than getting on.

Yeah, we should make a list, you know.

Yeah, like today, things I wanna do, things you wanna do.

We can check them off. Maybe invite Kirk and Andrew sometime.

We're gonna have to...

Man, you should have seen your face when you started running.

Beautiful.

Beautiful.

Hey, we should get a camera...

What is this? What are you,some kind of a freak?

What are you talk...This all a game to you?

Phoenix, what are you talking...

You think it's funny?That this is some kindof game?

You think it's funny to playwith people's feelings?

What...

I cared about you!I cared about us!

Phoenix...You got me...

Phoenix!

Phoenix!

Will you tell me what's going on, please?

You go to hell,Griffin.

Just wait, wait a minute.Wait a minute. Wait a minute!

I won't wait a second,you ass.

What?

Hey!

Hey, I don't knowwhat happened in there.

I...Stop it, Stop it!

Quit acting like you don't know.

I'm already humiliated. Don't insult me on top of that.

I'm not. I mean,I don't mean to.

Believe me,but I don't know whatyou're talking about.

You know. You know, you liar!

Just get away from me. Wait, just wait.

Leave me alone!Stop it.

Get off me, you freak.Stop...

Get off me!

Stop it. Stop.

Neither of us are gonna moveuntil you tell mewhat's going on.

Game's over, Griffin.

What game?

MAN 1: Get off her, asshole!

MAN 2: Are you all right?

Okay, justtake it easy, buddy!

Why are you playing with me?

You know, Griffin.

I have cancer.

It started in my ovaries and now it's...

How come you have all those books about dying?

Why have you been being so nice to me?

Why do you have those books, Griffin?

Those books are mine.They're for me.

I have a chest full of lesions.

That's why I was atthe university. That's...

That's why I was even inthat class where we met.

I had no idea.

I had no idea.

Oh, no.

No.

I tell you one thing,I have not beenbeing nice to you.

I've been being in love with you.

What are we gonna do?

I guess we're gonna die.

This is fun.

Really, it's a damn Mardi Gras in here.

How long are we gonna wait for this doctor?

Why don't you go work on your car or go do something?

I am doing something.

Right, sitting here, holding my hand.

Not just that.

I'm learning how the right swimsuit for my body type

can make me look 15 pounds lighter.

What do you think of this one here?

It'll make your titslook fantastic.

Let's leave.

You just gotta relax.

These are the special times we'll remember.

Hope not.

Here, stop fidgeting.

A gift?

You shouldn't have.

Just like Christmas.

I love Christmas.

What about you?You like Christmas?

I don't know.

Guess I'm pretty ambivalentabout Christmas now.

That's too bad.

I don't know.

I wasn't talking about you.I meant it's too badfor your boys.

Me, I love everythingabout it.

Christmas tree lights,cold weather and hot cocoa.

Food. All the food,actually.

Presents, mostly presents.

Piles and piles of presents,that's my favorite.

I love presents.

Thanks for my candy.

No, no,please, come in.

Oh, thank you. I'm sorry.I didn't want to disturb you.

No, no.

I need a little break.

Are you all right? Can I getyou a glass of water or...

Oh, no. I'm fine, thank you. I just...

I'm just tired. That's all.

My husband

is not gonna make it out of here, I'm afraid.

He wouldn't like knowing that.

I'm sorry.

That's very nice of you.

No, he actually...

He doesn't enjoy muchthese days, which means

we don't enjoy much these days.

So I guess it's okay, somehow.

Well, you wouldn't know itas he is now,but we used to be

quite the wild ones.

I could see that.

He was a pilot.He had his own plane.

One time,

he flew us down to theBaja peninsula in Mexico.

He landed us way out aloneon a deserted dirt road,

and we swam in the Pacific Ocean

naked.

It was glorious.

He had the sexiest legs I'd ever seen.

He still does.

I think I'm gonna go back in.

Do you have children?

No.

Oh, well, no.You're still young.You have lots of time.

They're important,though, aren't they?

Yeah.

I've been thinking aboutthe strangest things.

I guess it's just somereflex to find comfort.

Life is such an odd thing, isn't it?

Thanks for the conversation.

Stop it, really.

I'm being honest. It doesn't matter.

It does too matter, and you know it.

I'll tell you what matters. I am very happy in all other departments.

Very happy, thank you very much.

I went to a shrink.

You did what?

First time I've ever been shrunk.

This should be good. Gimme, gimme. Come on, gimme.

Okay.

He told me he thinks

I cannot achievesuch a life-affirming act

because I'm soconsciously aware thatI'm so full of death.

Wow.

Yeah.

And how much did that cost you?

$235 for the hour.

Wow.

Obviously, that's all I have to say today, "Wow."

I was thinking, let's goto the beach, spend some time.

Maybe next week.Can you get off work?

I can't ask for any time off, sorry.

It's a bad time, really busy.

I'll quit.

Know when you said, "Let's go to the ocean"?

One thinks Hawaii, Bermuda,

Palm Beach, even Jersey,

not Coney Island.

Pretty, ain't it?

I quit my job for this.

Better be sure to wear this.

That? I don't think that's gonna help.

Oh, this isn't to help you.

It's so there'll be something they can find to match to your dental records.

All right! Let's get you ready.

So, this is your harness.

Save your life. Change your life.

Most importantly, it's gonna keep you and your chute connected,

which is a very good thing.

Separate from the boat, float down.

Separate from the chute, very bad day.

I lose my job. Nobody wants that, right?

Where's the guythat was parasailing before?

Where's your boat?

I'm gonna be right back.

Will you listento me for a minute?Yeah.

There's something I wanna ask you.

Okay.

If I go first,

I don't want you comingto see me in the hospital,

or at my funeral or my grave.

Whenever I think it's time,

I'm just gonna disappear.

I'm gonna go to the hospital

alone.

I'll be like one ofthose old Eskimos,goes out on the ice floe,

and they sit there and theywait for the polar bearsto come and get them.

That's that.

And I don't want youto come looking for me,

and I can't have one ofthose scenes that we sawin the hospital

with that woman and her husband.

No long,drawn-out goodbyes.

That's really what you want?Yeah, that's what I want.

So promise me.

I promise you.

It's not gonna be an issue, 'cause in about five minutes,

you're gonna be making a loud splat sound in the Atlantic.

So I don't need any instructions from you

about the far future, thank you very much.

Are you scared?

Okay. Yeah,I'm a little scared.

Not that crazy about,well, heights,

and open water.

Think they everfound that guy?

Well, anyway,we came this far,might as well give it a try.

Oh, my God.All right.

Okay. So, you ready?

Yeah, did youfind your customer?

Not yet, but we will.

Tide's coming in, so that's not gonna be a problem.

All right, so the boat's just gonna take off, and the line is gonna go, "Pow!"

I mean, it's just gonna snap straight.

You're gonna feel it, okay?

Harness is gonna pull you right up. Okay, you'll go right up.

Okay, so what you wanna do, you wanna hunch into it.

You wanna hunch your shoulders like that.

Yeah, hunch it. Just hunch. Let it pull you up and back like that.

Yeah, okay. Now, we use hand signals.

Thumbs down, he's gonna bring you down. Thumbs up, high ride.

Okay, you get scared when you're up there, something goes wrong,

just scream like a little girl, we can't hear you, anyway.

I'm just kidding, man, we can hear you. No, we can't hear you.

All right, if you get in any trouble, for real, you're gonna pull this.

Okay, that's gonna release you.

Hold on, float down to the water.

You afraid of sharks?

I'm just kidding, man. I'm just... I'm just trying to get you to relax.

No, seriously, the sound of you hitting the water is gonna scare any sharks away.

Oh, right. When you hit the water,

if you're conscious, what you wanna do is

get out of the harness as quick as possible,

'cause the weight from that is just gonna pull you right under.

We'll eventually find you, but it's a bummer.

That's it for the safety stuff, man.

You ready?

Yeah, yeah, I'm ready.

For a hamburger,maybe a cold beer.

Thanks a lot, man.

See you later.

I spent 20 minutes with you, man.

PHOENIX: Smart move.

GRIFFIN:You could die out here.

All right, break it down.

PHOENIX: Let's seewhat you got. Well, it's a special day.

Today, I have, let's see...

Pink ones, some very nice big blue ones.

Oh, wait,I have blue ones, too.

All right.

Yeah, blue ones.

Good choice. Those are very nice.

Lovely with red meat dishesand pastas with heavy sauces.

Didn't know that. Did know, excellent side effects.

Wow, that's a lot of pills.

Yes, we're collectors.

I can see that. Would you like another bottle of wine?

Absolutely.

Be right back.

I wanna get you a present.

Why? What's the occasion?

Because you gave me the train.

It's your turn.

So,

what is it you used to always want?

George Clooney.

Serious question.

Serious answer. George Clooney.

I want him, and ifyou were really my friend,you'd get him for me.

Come on, tell me.

My father moved us my sophomore year in high school.

Wrecked me.

I was completely lost.

All I ever wanted wasto be in the in-crowd.

Never got in the in.

Tried out for cheerleader,disaster.

Tried out for the lead in thesenior play. Painted scenery,that sort of stuff.

There was this one thing, though.

Drove me crazy I never got to do it.

What?

GRIFFIN: It's fantastic!

What are you doin' over there?

It's a secret.

I can't tell you.

You think you're the only onewho ever wanted to do this?

Give me a hint.

It's a surprise.

I will tell you this. I love what I'm painting.

I love it. It's magnificent.

Hey, there. Okay.

Yeah.

GRIFFIN: Not bad.

Not bad? Everyone's a critic.

Well, I don't mean that. I like it. I just think that mine's so much better.

I'll have you know,this is very inspired.

Yours is better.I don't think so. I'm looking.

No, no, no. Not yet, not yet.

No, I want you to see itfrom down there on the ground.

That way, you can seeit against the stars.

PHOENIX: I feel so bad for thepoor city maintenance worker

who's gonna have to paint this all gray again.

Oh, no. Nope, nope.

No gray on this tower. Nope, nope. Never.

This tower's gonna live forever!

All right, you up there, come on down. It's the police.

It's the police.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

You think maybe they'll go for sleepwalking?

Come on, I don't wanna ask you again. Come down off the tower.

We're coming,officer.Hey, officer, we surrender.

We'll be right down.

Thanks, Scarface. Get going.

Let's go. Come on down.

Do you havemoney for bail?

I only have enough money for one,

so you have a very long night ahead of you.

Damn it!Get down there.

I hate this job. You know, I should have been a fireman.

They got it made.

Yeah, how's that?

Just like this. They go to work, but the people run to them.

Well, the women sure runto them. I know that much.

Yeah, we both made a serious vocational error, a serious one.

You two, let's go!

All right.

What are we doing? We're doing a little drinking here tonight, or what?

Alcohol? No,officer, no, no, no.

No?

Oh, excuse me, you know, I have... We gotta...

Kirk, Andrew,

the cops caught us.You gotta come down.

Down off the tower.

This is the police. You on the tower, show yourself.

Come on down off the tower!

Come on, let's go,people. Let's move it.

You see anybody?Hey, look, you bettertell your friends...

For fuck's sake.

I hate this job.

That was close,don't you think?

I was so scared they weregonna make us go seethe Piece of Cholif.

Whoever that is, I'm gladwe didn't have to see him.

You know, the boss cop guy, the Piece of Cholif.

Do you hear yourself?

The Chief of Police.

I'm gonna go findthose officers.

I think you lied before.You have been drinking.

No, no, no.

Okay.

Griffin, I'm happy.

Not just...

I mean, you know, I'm happy.

Don't take that as encouragement.

Let's go for a walk first,maybe hold hands.Remember that?

Then back to the bedroom.

PHOENIX: King Kong.

King Kong?

King Kong, that's the perfect boyfriend.

Doesn't take a psychologydegree to figure that out.

No, that's not it.

He was big.

See, I told you.

In stature. Big in stature.

Plus, he has a big ape-heart. Very sexy to a woman.

And, of course, I'm sure, when called upon,

Kong could produce for Fay Wray a very big banana.

See? I knew it.

Stubborn thing, the truth.

That's pretty funny,big banana.

What, now you wanna cry? You're gonna cry? Great.

You know what? I'll give you a reason to cry. Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.You need to relax.

Screw you. Why don't you go worry about your own kids?

Screw me? Screw me?Oh, you don'teven know screw.

Does she alwaystalk to you like that?

Don't talk to my kid.

Is that a baby in your car?You know something?You're a monster.

You're a terrible mother.

You're a monster.Give me that.

What are you doing?

Give me that.Let go.

Let go of my stroller!

What horrible, unfeeling,weak God would let yoube a mother to any child?

Somebody help me!

Give me that stroller,God damn it!

Give it to me!

Crazy bitch!

People like you having children...

People like you!

It's not fair. It's not fair!

It's not fair! It's not fair!

It's not fair!

It's okay.

What a nutjob.

Hey, what do you know?It's nothing.

Why don't you shut up?

So, you wanna talk about this?

Don't you ever justwanna punch somebody?

Smash something?

Let God have itright in the kisser?

Just sock old God in the nose?

I don't get it.

I'm mad as hell,and I gotta tell you,I want everyone to know it.

Well, today you were successful.

Okay, fine.

Look, you can bet I'm angry.

But let me ask you something.

Who am I supposed to be angry at?

Who?

Everybody? The whole world? Should I be angry at everybody?

Yes, yes, you should.

Well, I can't do that.

I can't believe in fair and not fair. I can't.

I can't blame anyone for this cancer in me.

Not the air or God.

I can't even blame me.

It just happened. It's just what it is.

Hey, I don't mean this inany bad way toward you at all,

but I don't think taking your emotions out on other people

or other people's property is the answer.

It can't be.

There's your problem.

What's my problem?

You think there's an answer.

Something to put in the box.

They're for your sons for Christmas this year.

Well, how aboutyou give them the presents?

The big one's for Kirk, and this one's for Andrew.

I'm telling you,they should come from you.

I'm not gonna make it to December.

No more Christmases.

Promise me you're gonna make the day a special day for them.

Promise me you'll make it a big deal.

How about I make ita big deal for all of us?

If you insist on trying to cheer me up, I'm gonna leave you.

Kiss me.

Not if it's gonnacheer you up.

It won't.Okay.

Are you sure you don'twanna come tomorrow?

Fresh new paint job.

Beautiful day.

A big engine just

begging to drink some gas.

You go and play. I have some things I need to do.

While I'm out,can I get you anything?

Everything.

I'll pick some up on the way home.

Oh, baby, I'm justa little a tired.

I'm sorry.

You should not be sorry about anything concerning me, ever.

Pay attention.

Ever.

Yeah.

Have I mentioned to you

Well, I don't mean love.I love you, you know that...

But I like you a lot, too.

I'm in like with you, too.

Hi, beautiful.

I knew you'd show up.

We promised each other.

Yeah.

I lied.

It's so funny. You know what I've been thinking about?

Mmm-mmm.

Last times.

Really stupid things. Last time I used a pencil,

last time I petted a dog, last time I played the piano.

I've done so many things that I did at some point

for the last time,and I wasn't paying attention.

And then I met you,

and I got to laugh, and make love, and fall in love.

All for the last time.

But this time I paid attention.

Griffin.

Go away.

There are no more good last things to do. We did them all.

What are you gonna do, bring me flowers?

That's just more dead things in this place.

Gonna read to me and hold my hand?

Are you gonna have the nurses sing Happy Birthday to me?

I don't want any of that.

I don't need you for any of that.

What I need is for you to be the one thing that was perfect.

It was perfect, wasn't it?

Yeah.

We had a beautiful little lifetime together.

Don't let that lifetime bleed into this.

This is just waiting.

Waiting.

I want you to go.

I wanna stay.

Well, I want you to go.

You were right about this.

I want you to go, Griffin, and I want you to go now.

I've never actually posted bail for a criminal before.

No, no, no, don't worry about it.

Hey, I gotta finda hardware store.You wanna go for a walk?

Sure.

I gotta tell you, Terry and I were pretty surprised.

I mean, calling your ex-wife and her fiance to bail you out of jail,

it's just different.

Well, life's an odd thing,isn't it?

I've never been to a real hardware store before.

This is turning into quite a day.

What, Griffin?

What are you doing here?

Just go, please.

I have to say something and it's important. Listen to me.

Never listen to me.

I mean, I want you to just try and forget all that crap I used to tell you,

especially all that stuff I told you at the beach.

I was wrong about all that.

I was talking to this idiot the other day,

and as he looked back at me from the mirror,

I realized I was right about one thing.

There is an answer.

And the answer is being with you.

I love you.

For better or worse.

And this time...

This time that we have, this can be part of the better part.

Because we'll be together.

And that way, everything, even this,

is better.

Good, even.

I wanna stay

inside, inside

this real life.

I wanna stay here. I wanna be anywhere you are.

I missed you.

I missed you.

So, now you're gonna let me stay?

Of course I'm gonna let you stay.

I want you to stay.I always wanted you to stay.

What'd you think I wanted? Shit.

Okay.

Then I'm not going anywhere.

I'm gonna stay here.

Except, there is something, someplace we gotta go, something we gotta do.

What?

Do you think you can get out of here for a little while?

Griffin, I don't know.

It's important.

We'll have to sneak out.

Okay.

PHOENIX: Where are we going?

It's not far. It's just over here.

It better be.Really, what are we doing?

We're almost there. Here, here, here.

Why don't you close your eyes?

Here.

Keep your eyes closed.

Here, step around.

Sit.

Is this where the polar bear comes to get me?

I hope not. I only have enough hot chocolate for two.

You've gone quite mad,you know that, don't you,Griffin?

Really insane. How manyof the pink pills didyou take today?

Okay, enough,you know I hate surprises.

What's going on?

What's going on, Sarah Phoenix?

What's going on is this.

It's Christmas.
