[Man On Answering Machine]
Hi. It's me.
I'm not here.

If you're a friend
or someone who has loved me,

I want to thank you
for being apart of my life.

If it's you, Mom, I'm coming.
I'll be there. Relax.
Here's the beep.

[Beep]
[Man]
Good afternoon, Mr. Wheeler.

I'm calling
from the gas company.

I hope you're doing well
and spending these final hours
in peace with your loved ones.

Rest assured that we will make
every effort to keep the gas
flowing right until the end.

[Man On Radio]
Coming up on
the last night on the planet,

and you're listening to CKRT.

The top 500 songs of all time.
With ya until the end.

# last night #

# I didn't get
to sleep at all #

# No, no #

# I lay awake and watched
until the morning light #

# Washed away the darkness
of the lonely night #

# lonely night #

# Oh, last night I got
to thinking that maybe I #

# I, I #

# Should call you up and just
forget my foolish pride #

# I heard your number ringing
I went cold inside #

# And last night I didn't
get to sleep at all #

# I know it's not my fault #

# I did my best #

# God knows
this heart of mine #

# Could use a rest #

# But more and more I find #

# The dreams I left behind #

# Are somehow
too real to replace #

# Replace #

# Oh, last night #

# I didn't get
to sleep at all #

# No, no #

# The sleeping pill I took
was just a waste of time #

# I couldn't close my eyes
'cause you were on my mind #

# And last night #

# I didn't get to sleep
Didn't get to sleep #

# No, I didn't get
to sleep at all #

[People Laughing]

# But more and more I find #

# The dreams I left behind #

# Are somehow
too real to replace #

# Oh, last night #

# I didn't get
to sleep at all #

# No, no #

# The sleeping pill I took

Hi, Mom.
[Woman]
Yes, dear.

Hi. I'm sorry...
I'll be with you
in a minute.

Let's go. There may be some
unfamiliar faces in here.
##["Silent Night"]

Hi.

Your esteemed
grandmother.

There he is.
Oh, you look so handsome
in that suit.

And Rose.
Yes, well... Rose.

Rose from Edmonton.
You remember
Rose from Edmonton.

Rose from Edmonton.
Your dear sister
Jennifer.

Hi.
Alex.

Alex. I thought
that was you.

I didn't know you
were back in the picture.
I thought you had fled to, um...

Patrick. Patrick, shut up.
To the hills
or wherever...

He comes back
when it counts.

Yeah, but I'm surprised
you could come.

I thought you'd have
some big family thing...
some big pig roast.

Patrick!
What? I'm greeting him
like a brother.

- You're being obnoxious.
- Yeah, well, exactly.

Don't pay any attention.
He's trying to be funny.

Actually, we are going
to my parents after.

So, let's enjoy
the time we have.

- We were just opening
the stockings.
- Where's mine? You started?

Well, we couldn't wait forever.
I don't know. Maybe there
isn't anything left.

What did you get?
Is this yours?
She gave you all this?

All of this
great stuff.

One of these, yeah.

Isn't it a little
late for that?
It's old.

From when I was a kid.
She's wrapping this old
stuff up from the attic.

It's like nostalgia.
Right.

- Did you notice the tree?
- [Grandmother]
It's a nice tree.

Your old dad,
he got out the chain saw,
and he dragged it back...

from the front yard
of the Winterson house.
It's quite the tree.

You remember Hazel Winterson.
[Mr. Wheeler] They were
one of the first to leave.

[Grandmother]
Well, I'm not surprised.

Here we are.
Ooh, aren't you lucky.

look what Santa
brought you last night.

Yea!
Not that you
deserve it.

Thank you, Santa.
Imagine. Coming late
to Christmas.

Ah, ah, ah.
Not in the fire.

- Oh, right. It's fake.
- What do you mean, it's fake?
It's not fake.

It's not for burning.

Use the bag.

When you two were kids,
you always used
to wake us at 6:00.

"Oh, can we open
the presents now, Mom?

Mom... Mom, it's Christmas.
Wake up, Dad!"

Well, no point
trying to go to sleep.

But your father
put his foot down.

"No opening the presents
until your grandma arrives."

We had to put a skipping rope
across the stairs...

just to keep you
from getting at the tree.

- Skipping rope?
- [Mr. Wheeler]
I'm surprised it worked.

Now he comes
an hour late.

Uh, well, Mom, there are
two really good excuses
I can think of...

that maybe
you should keep in mind.

For one thing, it's not really
Christmas today, is it, Mom?

And for another thing,
it's the end of the world.

The world is ending tonight
at midnight,

and that's kept me
pretty occupied lately.

I'll check the dinner.

Would it hurt you
to play along just once?

It means a lot to her...
to have her family.
I'm sorry.

Today of all days.

All right.

Okay, I'm opening.
Uh, can I open
the big one first?

Wait for your mother.

Mom! Mom!

[Man On Radio]
I have just one question
for my listeners.

Do you think Jimmy
is loving MaryAnn
on their last night together?

let's take a look
through the looking glass
where you'll find your answer.

Here on CKRT,
withya until the end.

##[Man Singing]

##

##

##

So, juice?

Oh. Perfect.
Mm, tropical punch.

You treat me so well.

Well, you get one
every day at around now,
if I'm not mistaken.

I thought
I'd try it myself.

I thought
you never noticed.

Oh, but I did.

So, how goes the battle?

Fine. Good.

Good old computer.
Hmm.

Well, imagine,
even ten years ago...

you'd have to have
eight or nine stations
just to keep the system running.

I know.

But now...
Now.

just you.
And you.

Well, l...
I'm almost done.
Oh.

Oh, you've
already got one.
Oh, this?

Yes. Well,
this one's old.
You know, flat.

Yeah. Well,
keep up the fight.

##[Continues]

[Car Beeping]

[Woman]
Oh, people,

this is the last night,
you hear me?

Hi. This is Roweena.
Please leave a message.
Thanks.

[Beep]
Good evening,
Mrs. R. Wheeler.

I'm calling from
the gas company,

and we just wanted to thank you
for being our customer
over the years.

I hope you are doing well
and spending these final hours
of peace with your loved ones.

Rest assured that we will do
our utmost to keep the gas
flowing right until the end.

Thank you and good-bye.

[Dialing]

[line Ringing]

[Telephone Ringing]

[Ringing Continues]

Will somebody get that!
[Ringing Continues]

just leave it, Mom!
Leave it to the machine!

But Aunt Margo
is taking the whole family,
[Ringing Continues]

including
the Simpson clan,
up north to Muskoka.

And she says
the whole congregation is
going to meet around the lake.

And at midnight,
or a quarter to, I guess,

they're all going out
in canoes.

[Jennifer]
Oh, my God!
Excruciating.

Imagine ending it all
singing "Kumbaya."

Yes, well, she is
with the United Church.

Tah-dah!
[All] Oh!
[Jennifer] There she is!

Your mother knows
how to handle a turkey.
What a bird.

Don't butcher it.
I'll be right back.

What's she
talking about?

Rose,
you like the dark?
Yes, please.

There were people
in the street again today.

It seems
to go in cycles.

You be careful when you leave.
Don't go out in the streets
unless you have to.

Oh, come on, Dad.
They're safe.
They're just having fun.

Oh, that's fun, is it?
I'm not so sure.

I have to admit
they've been better
the last while.

But that's not saying much,
compared to the first months.
Remember that nonsense?

There's
two sides.
To what?

Well, I mean,
I understand.

You understand what?

Why people do it.
Go crazy in the street.

Mother, I have a little ham
you might prefer.

For your condition.

People are destroying things,
killing people...

It's just a...
just a chance to...
to blow some off.

What? Heads?
Steam.

Steam. Oh, my mistake.
Yeah.
Blow off some steam.

Right. Alex, I think maybe
I should mention, before
you make any faux pas here,

that we have a tradition
in this family... that we
don't kill other people.

Patrick, that's not
what he's saying.
You know what he means.

People want
to experience things.

And we're all gonna
die anyway, so...

That gives us all
the more reason to be civil.

Now more than ever
we should be courteous
and respect each other's needs.

It's a test of our values.

Sweetheart, you joining us?

Nice speech, Dad.

[Grandmother]
Oh! Golly!

Wow. Look at that.

I know that this is a bit much,
but, Patrick, you always
loved lamb.

Well,
that should do it.

Well, thank God,
we don't have to fit
in those canoes.

I'm stuffed
just looking at it.

I wanted you to have
something special,

so when you
go home, Patrick,
alone at midnight,

you'll remember your
parents weren't so bad.

Sweetheart,
is that all or...

Yes, I'm ready.

[Patrick]
Oh, Christ.

Let's say grace.

For what we are
about to receive,

may the Lord
make us truly thankful.

Amen.
[Crying]
Amen.

Mom, I told you about
this three weeks ago.

Why can't you just stay
a couple of hours?

You haven't
got anybody
to go home to.

Mom, I made a decision
about where I want to be
when it happens.

And I'm sorry,
but you're going
to have to accept that.

[Mrs. Wheeler
Crying]

[Crying Continues]

[Clicks Tongue]

[Crying Continues]

Well, the food's
getting cold, isn't it?

[Knocking At Door]

[Knocking Continues]

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Lily.

I know.

I'm black.

I could tell.
Yep. 100 percent.

[Chuckles]
I believe you.
You're...

perfect.

Uh, come on in.

Make yourself
at home.

[Door Shuts]

Um, would you
like a drink?

I have, uh, drinks.

Cognac.

All right.
Uh, cognac it is.

Um, should I take off
my clothes?
No.

Hold on.
I'll be there in a minute.

[Glasses Clinking]

Thanks.
You're welcome.

You don't remember me,
do you?

No.

We met once before
at, uh, a party.

At, uh,
Basil's place.

I used to go
to a lot of parties.

Yeah. Well, that's
how I got your number.
Through a friend of Basil's.

I was asking around,
and, uh... Chris Fenton
is his name.

Anyway, he was talking
about this one girl...

beautiful girl...

and, uh, click,
like that, I remembered.

That's very sweet.

So we should, uh,

head to the bedroom?
Yep.

Go ahead.
I'll be with you
in a minute.

[Clicking]

## [Soft R&B]

##[Continues]

More?
No.

No. You don't have to.

What I was trying
to say out there is
that you're very beautiful.

And I knew that before.

I just want you to know
that I'm not doing this
because you're black.

Yes, you are.

You don't have to lie.

Yeah.

So, uh, before
we get started,

uh, there's a couple
of things I'd like to try.

Uh, nothing too weird,
I think you'll agree.

But, um, you know,

if there's anything
you had in mind...

Yes.
Uh,

maybe you could
tell me before
so we can fit it in.

Hey.

Don't worry.

You'll be just fine.

I just wanted
to have an orgasm today.

I'll do my best.

Mr. Zwiller. I'm calling
from the gas company.

[Yelling, Shouting

[Gunfire]

[Girl]
Mom, can I get
my ears pierced?

You promised me I could
get my ears pierced
when I was 12,

and now I'm
12 and3 months.

- [Woman] let's talk
about something else.
- I hate this.

Silence.

[Footsteps Approaching]

Excuse me.
How long have
you been waiting?

Almost 20 minutes.
Oh, Jesus,
where did he go?

Who?
The driver.

What driver?

I don't suppose you know
how to drive this thing,
do you?

You see, Mom?
You see that?
I hate this!

No, darling.
I don't see it.

[Man On Radio]
We're lookin' at four hours
until the end of the world,

and I'm spinning this one

##[Child Singing,

Done.

I have a confession
to make.

##[Continues]

You bad girl.

Everyday?
For seven years.
At 6:00.

No matter what I was doing
or what I was supposed
to be doing.

One drink.
My private ritual.

[Chuckles]

[Exhales]
But now it's off my chest.

Of course you know
I could fire you
for this.

You want one?
Um, I think not.

But you go ahead.

Right.
You're driving.

You'll call me
if you need me?

Now, why would I need you?
That's true.

If there's a problem...

Don't let me down.

you'll call them, okay?

[Horn Honking]

[Woman]
Can I help you?
Uh, this is where I live.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Can I help you?
No.

Actually, yes.
Do you have a phone?

Uh, no, not in
my person, no.
No, but inside.

Uh, there's a pay phone
on the corner.
That doesn't work.

Well, if that
doesn't work,
mine won't either.

That doesn't work
because it's smashed.

Please.
It's important.

Hi, hon. It's me.

I thought you said
you'd still be there.

Uh... No, I guess
you got off early.
Okay, bye.

Hello, honey.

Honey, where are you?
I need you to come pick me up.

My car got attacked,
and I'm stuck here
on Phoenix Drive...

364.

364 Phoenix Drive,

at 538-0398.

Call me, please.
I'll try you
on the car phone.

Uh, you gave him
my number?
[Dialing]

[Line Ringing]
I'm sorry.
Is that all right?

Hello. Can you...

Shit!
[Hangs Up Phone]

Well, they haven't
worked for weeks.

Cell phones.
Never really did.

I'm sorry.
Am I keeping you?

From what?
From your children.

Oh, l... I don't have any.

- [Toy Squeaks]
- Oh. But these paintings.

Oh, uh, those were done
by other people's children.

From, uh, day care.

So, you're going
to a party?
Nope.

People coming over?

No. I'm staying here
by myself.

Oh. Then I'll wait here
a minute. Do you mind?

I just went out
to pick up some things,
and my husband is... somewhere.

I have to get home.

Would you like
a magazine or something?

Something to eat?

Don't entertain me.
just do what you were doing.

Candy cane?

My... My mother,
she just threw this
big Christmas dinner.

She wanted us to relive
our happiest moments
as a family.

So she took all this stuff
from our childhood...

and wrapped it up and
gave it to us as gifts.

[Woman]
This stuff?

Yeah, there's, uh, these
old report cards here...

and, um,
awards that I won...

and these
little craft things.

That.
Let me see that.

Oh.
Oh, yeah, diving.

Yeah. Must have
been my sister's.

I think I had
some of these.

Pete Seeger.
That rings a bell.

Yeah, my mother
says I love that.
Guantanamera.

She sounds nice.

Who? My mother?
That she would do all this?

No, that she
gave you Pete Seeger
when you were a kid.

Oh, well, uh,
I don't want to give you
the wrong impression.

It's not
exactly indicative
of my family.

Actually, we had
this big fight when...

when I told her there
were socialist implications.

To what? Pete Seeger?

"Oh, Patrick,
why do you have to go and
spoil everything nice?"

Oh, I didn't know.
What?

That he was a socialist.

Oh, well, you know,
folk music.

He had these
sing-along things, right?
Uh, yeah.

On TV?

Pete Seeger,
of the Weavers.

You might be thinking
of Mitch Miller
or something.

It's Spanish.

"The streams of the mountain
pleases me more
than the sea."

I should go.

So you're going back there?
Where?

- To your mother's.
- No. I told you,
I'm staying here.

By yourself?
Yes. If I can.

That's not so hard
to imagine.

Jesus Christ.
Where the fuck are you?

Look, if you need a car,
you can always get one.

Where?

From... From anywhere.

Steal one.

Three more hours.

Hurry up!
[Man]
Shut up, lady!

Move it.

[Knocking At Door]

Well, here I am.

I'm a little bit early.
Hope that's not a problem.

No, no, no.
That's perfect. My, uh...
My friend just left.

We have the place
to ourselves?
That's right.

Come in.

So, this is
your apartment
where you live.

Isn't it nice.

Is it?
It is.

And what had you
been doing again?

What do you mean,
before?

Before. With your life.

Um,

well, l...

I finished, uh,
school, finally.

And, uh... uh, yeah,
I took a couple
of years off.

I was going
to med school.

So... I guess
I would have been
a doctor of some sort.

Oh, that's wonderful.

I always knew
you had it in you.

Isn't it nice how things
worked out so well?

And you grew up so... nicely.

You're a handsome man.

Well, thank you.

So...

Uh, can I get you
something to drink?

I have drinks.
Oh, no, I'm fine.
Thank you.

[Laughs]

So, Craig, um, you probably
won't want to hear this,

but I saw your stepmother
at the Super Save last week.

And she has met another man
and married him
as you may know.

And she made me promise
that if I ran into you,

I would tell you that
you're welcome, if you want,
to join their circle.

Their circle?
Right.
Their prayer circle.

They're all meeting
at Mel Lastman Square.

And for the 24 hours
leading to the end,

they're going to pray
for the souls of humanity.

Of course you've missed
the beginning by now,

but I'm sure
you can join in
whenever you come.

Uh-huh. Well, as much
as that sounds like fun...

[Both Laughing]

You have your own way
to worship, I guess.

Yeah, l... l...
I guess I do.

Give me a hug.

[Moaning]

I was surprised
by your call.

And happy.

You know,
you were always a favorite.

My favorite student.

You were
a favorite of mine.

Well, I know now.

We should, um,

head to the bedroom.

# I'm watching you #

# The way you move
your sexy body #

# I'm liking
the things you do #

# The way you move ##

Even when you're
with someone else,
you're still by yourself.

And I don't think
that's pathetic.
I don't think that's sad.

Oh, what about
this one?
Uh, no. Let's keep going.

But what I do find sad
and what I do
find pathetic...

is people who don't
know themselves or people
who don't like themselves.

And as soon as they hear
that the world is ending,

they rush out and try and
hook up with someone, like it
was closing time at Studio 54.

Well, I guess I'm not
the one to talk to.

I mean, I know in my heart
that I'm not in a meaningful
relationship right now.

I'm not with
a woman that I love,
and I can deal with that.

l... I just feel that now is
not the time to compromise.

There's something to be said
for human companionship.
This one?

Uh, fine, fine.

Okay, stand back.

No, wait.
Oh, Jesus.

I can't drive
standard.

Oh, that's all right.
I don't like it much anyways.

I mean, cars are another
big disappointment.

They should have gone
farther than this.

They peaked both
aesthetically and technically
sometime around the mid-'70s,

'72, according to my friend,
and then basically no progress.

I mean, we deserve better.
I mean, even the little
things, you know.

Why do they always have
to be shiny?

Why couldn't they make a car
with a nice matte finish?

Well, there's something
to be said for
human companionship.

Oh, come on.
I like human beings
as much as the next guy.

Okay, this one, okay?
This one?

Yeah, all right.
Here we go.

Madam, your car.

[Both Exhale]

So now what?

Now, we, uh, start it.

Well, I think I understand
where you're coming from.

It might make sense
in your mind, but
I can't really say I agree.

Meaning what?

Take my life, for example:
how I met my husband.

I never knew him.
We met at a party when
the government closed down.

Three days later
we were married.

That was
like two months ago.

And I had been married
before, once before,

to a guy
from a bakery shop
where I used to work.

So I should have
known better.

But this marriage,
my current marriage,

is the best relationship
I've ever had.

I love him.

I feel like we've lived
a lifetime together.

So I guess I'm one of
those people you hate.

Oh, well,
I didn't mean it that way.

And another thing:
I'm pregnant.

You're going
to have his baby?

I'm carrying it.
His embryo. My baby.

Do you think
that's immoral?

Immoral? Well, no.
None of us can
have children.

Actually, I think
it's kind of sweet.
I wanted
to know if I could do it.

If I had the power.
And I do.

We could have done
anything together.

I love him, and we're
going to go all the way.
[Horn Honks]

Wh-What are you doing?

Well, um, aren't
there some wires
under this thing...

if you break it off?

You don't know
how to do this, do you?

Well...

No. No,
I have no idea.

Taxi! Taxi!
[Horn Honks]

[Tires Squealing]

Really? Well, that's
really prestigious.

We all knew you
had it in you.

We spent a whole day
driving around,
me and my cousin Ernie,

looking for a tux;
mine was ruined.

Show him the tux,
Ernie.

Uh, finally found one
at Harry Rosen.

Harry Rosen,
of all places.

Right. Okay, well,
that's the thing.
My friend here needs a lift.

Uh-huh.
Well, l... I guess
we could drive her.

But it's
only three blocks.

Right, but she's going
across town.

Oh.
But if you're
finished with the car...

[Chuckles]
Patrick,

l... I need it at least
until the show.

You know, Ernie might
have to run errands
or load equipment in.

You know
how concerts are.
Right.

I'd love to help you out
and your friend...

she looks like a movie star...
but I only have one car.

Right.
I'm not like
Craig Zwiller.

Well, good luck then.
Break a leg.

Oh, keep them.
In case you're
in the neighborhood.

[Door Opens,
Closes]

Patrick, I really
appreciate all your help.

Ah, listen.
My pleasure.

[Moaning]
[Door Buzzes]

[Buzzing Continues]

Uh, one second.

# I've been watching you #

# The way you move
your sexy body #
[Buzzing Continues]

- Yeah? What is it?
- Craig, it's me, Patrick.

I have
to ask you a favor.
What is it? I'm busy.

Let me in.
It's important.

Everything
is important today.

Ten minutes.
[Buzzing]

S-So what is
all that stuff anyway?
You have to drag it around?

Oh, it's
just some stuff
we needed tonight.

Oh.

My husband
and I are going
to commit suicide.

We're going to kill
each other at midnight.

Oh.

So...

I guess you really
love him then.

Patrick Wheeler?
Look at you.

Look like
you're waiting
for the principal.

Again.

Madame Carlton.

And what have you
been up to, Patrick?

[Speaking French]

Oh. Um...

[Speaking French]

You mean my job?
Oui. Bravo.

[French]

None were actually built.
Oui, oui.

[Continuing In French]

[French]

It's the dream that counts.
It's nice that you
can still remember.

[French]

Browner.

Well, French was never
your forte, Craig.

[Patrick]
Au revoir, madame.

Adieu.
Adieu.

[Pushes Button]

Bon voyage.

[Craig]
Fuck off.

No.
You can't have it.

It's unfair to even ask.
It's not for me.

All the more reason.
It was my car first.

Right, and now it's mine.
I bought it.

It's been mine
for over two years.

It's part of my... thing.

Patrick, let's go.
We can't force him,
okay?

Come on, man.
Do something good.
Fuck off with that good shit.

Let's go.
I'll find another car.
It's fine.

What are you doing,
planning a road trip
or something?

'Cause guess what?
You don't have time.
I told you, it's not about that.

It's not about... utility.

Listen, I'm sorry.
It's important.

I'm sorry we
had to interrupt
your last day. Let's go.

You have two others.

[Sighs]
It's a collection.
They're antique cars.

Two old cars
is not a collection.
It's a guy with two old cars.

Mm-hmm.

Take it,

bastard.

I knew you'd give in.
I wanted to die
a man with three cars.

I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.
He's obviously fucked.

Thanks a lot,
my dearest friend.

Um, so I'll walk you
to the car?

I'm sure
I can find it.

It's hard to miss.
A 1970 lime green,
super "B",

overhead cams, duel exhaust.

It was one of the first...
Not that you'll need
to look under the hood.

Thank you very much.
Thank you.
You're welcome.

Thank you.
Are you sure you're
gonna be all right?

You don't need
any help?
No. I'd better go.

Oh, no. Um, Patrick,

what are you doing
right now?

Right now?
Going home, I guess.

If my husband calls,
tell him I'm coming.

[Craig]
So,

not bad.

[Patrick]
Not bad, eh?
Mrs. Carlton?

No, I was referring
to what's-her-name.

Oh, Sandra.
Yeah, not bad.

Come on.
Don't be modest.
No... No, I barely know her.

Ha! Even better,
you dog.

No, she's a stranger.
I helped her find a car.

And that's it?
What's the matter with you?

I saw the way
she was looking.

Women these days are,
uh, ripe for the picking.

Well, I don't think
that was an option here.
Mm. Are you kidding me?

They all wanna go out
with a... bang.

Patrick, when was the last
time you got... some?

[Groaning]

[Scoffs]

For one brief moment,
I thought you had actually
forgotten your, uh, tragedy...

look, I'm not complaining.
You don't have to...

and realized that
what is one death
compared to the fact...

that in under two hours
every living soul on Earth
is gonna evaporate.

Yeah, well, I realize that.
It just doesn't 't turn me on.
You know?

If Karen were here,
she'd want you to be
with other people, right?

If Karen was here?
No, I don't think so.

But she liked people.
You know what I mean?

She worked
in a kindergarten,
for fuck sake.

Vitamins.

Well, listen,
I appreciate
your concern, but...

It's a question
of perspective.
Living while you can.

And, baby,
it's not too late.

I mean, most people
are probably taken by now.

But if I were you,
I would get on the blower.
Get on the internet.

I mean, that's
what it's there for.
That's why they invented it.

Come here.
I'll show you something.

One thing that this
has proved to me:

You have to take life
in your own hands.

You have to fulfill
your own destiny.

I'm sure there's things,
Patrick, that you feel
ripped off about.

Sure, I guess,
but I'm pretty much
over it now.

Take a look at this.

I tried to ask myself,

"What did I want?"

What were those experiences
that I had hoped for...

which were now
just passing me by?

And I made a list.
I made a comprehensive list.

And then I went out
and I actively tried
to meet those goals.

And as you can see,
it wasn't that hard.

"Anal sex."

[Chuckling]
Can you believe it?

I'd never given it
to a woman up the ass before.

You know? I'm not afraid
to say it now. It's way
past modesty at this point.

"Redhead."

"Black. Chinese."

"Blind." Uh-huh.

"Sex outdoors."

"Sex with a virgin."

See, it's split
into different categories:

types of location,
types of act,
type of woman.

What about bestiality?
You done that yet?

Not on the list. It's
just things I wanted to do,
not just every perversion.

"Coercive sex."
Um...

Within limits.
"M�nage a trois."

Oui.

Like... These are things
I really believed in.

Uh, I had to look
in my heart.

Some of these things
were hard to achieve.

Some of these things
were hard to admit to.

But I'm proud of what
I've done. I'm proud
of what I've accomplished.

And... I mean, I'm not
going to my grave
with any regrets.

And, uh, all this
since yesterday morning?

Oh, yeah.

[Laughing]
No. Two solid months.

And, uh, you know,
it's... it's not over yet.

I wanna die
having a mutual orgasm.

Oh, well, I better
be going then.

See, that's
a pretty basic fantasy.

I mean, if you gotta go...
You might as well
be coming, right?

Right. Hey, hey, hey, Patrick.
Look, I wasn't trying
to show off...

or trying to make you
feel inadequate.

I was showing you that
as a friend and a buddy.

I was actually trying
to inspire you.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

[Man Over P.A.,
Indistinct]

[Chattering]

One and a half!
just one and a half!

One and a half hours!

[Bell Dings]

[Tires Screeching]

You gonna be okay
out there?
Yeah, yeah, sure.

It's just a couple blocks.
Yeah.

Can you do me one favor
before you go?

Sure.
Come in.

[Tires Screeching]

Uh, Patrick,
have a seat.

I was trying to give you
a hint up there by, uh,

showing you the list,
but I guess you don't, um,
read too well, right?

[Chuckles]
Ah, forget it.
What?

Man, you're stupid.

You wanna have sex?

That was down
at the bottom of the list.

I mean, there were certain acts
that could only be done
with other men.

That-That necessarily
wouldn't include anal sex,

'cause I already
did that, but...

You know,
there are other things.
Right, right, I understand.

Patrick, I like you.
I mean, I always have.
I like you too.

To be perfectly honest,
I never thought of you that way.

I mean...
But that idea of sex...

with other men, you know,

it crossed my mind,
as it has done
with most of us, probably.

Of course.
So...

here's-here's our chance.

I mean,
you could do worse.

Well, uh, I thought
you had a date.
I do.

So, we don't have
much time.

It's not gonna take
that long.

[Chuckles]
Come on.

You've already done this
I don't know
how many times today.

It's gonna take some time.
Look, are you being
judgmental?

No, no, I'm not.
There's no judgement here.
I don't have time for that.

No, I'm not.
I'm puttin' myself
on the line here.

And I'm flattered.
I'm moved by it.

Don't fuckin' condescend to me.
I'm...
I would do it...

if you asked me any
other time, I swear, if...

I always thought
I should, you know?

If you'd given me some time
to prepare, psychologically,

and some time after.

A couple months.

I knew it.
You're a wuss.

It's nothing personal.
It has nothing
to do with you.

I would say the same thing
to a woman.
It's just sex.

having bad sex today.

I just don't want that
to be the last thing
on my mind.

And you think
I'm fucked?

But I love you.

And I love you, pal.

Okay.

[Chuckling]

Okay.
Okay.

Mercy-fuck your skinny ass?
What was I thinking?

In your dreams, pal.
Get the fuck on home.

Oh, uh, I forgot to mention
I saw Menzies just around
the corner.

I'm sure he'd be game.
Oh, really?
Fuck off.

Okay, I will.

See ya.
No, you won't.

Good luck...

fag.

[Man On Radio]
Coming up on the last hour,

and we've reached number 12
on the top 500
of all time...

according to me, all right?

So, don't bother callin'in.
This time it's my choice.

Hey, where are you goin'?

[Crashing Sound]

[Honking Continues]

Look what you did
to my car!
Now you're walking.

[Man]
Hey! Hey!
Now you're walking!

Hey, baby!
Hey!

Where you goin'?
Why don't you have
some fun with us.

Go away.
just go away.
Come on, baby.

I don't think you understand
the virtues of fun.
Come on.

I want you to have
some fun with us.
Leave me alone.

Come on!
I just want you
to have a little fun!

I just wanna go home!
I just want you to be happy!
I don't think you...

What?
Leave her alone!

[Woman laughing]
She doesn't want to party!

Thank you.
I can handle myself.

- Are you okay?
- I've got a gun!

Okay.
Come on.
let's go!

Take care.

Forget about her!
Come on!

Yeah, I don't know.
I'm waitin' for him.

Hey, who was that?
A lady.

Oh, yeah?
Well, thanks, anyway.

I thought it was a friend
of my brother's.
Used to collect cars like that.

Fuck!

Come on.
Let's go.

Well, where's this party
anyway?
Let's go.

Fighting, swearing
and tearing...

asunder the monuments
of civilization.

Closer to home,

over 600 would-be rock stars
joined with Randy Bachmann...

in North York for
the world's largest guitar jam.

Here they are,
learning the chords to
"Taking Care of Business."

# Taking care of business
and working overtime
Work out #

A great song.
[Clock Ticking]

We now continue with
our live coverage from
Nathan Phillips Square,

where hundreds of thousands
of people are now converging...

to celebrate
and to mourn.

Thanks again to
Hank "The Hammer" Adletski...

for braving the crowds,

who's manning the control board
and operating the camera.

Basically,
keeping me on the air.

You're doing... You're doing
a fantastic job, Terry.

Fantastic job, really.

Take a bow.
Earlier on,
[Gunshot]

[Woman Screams]
for those who
have been following,

[Frantic Chattering]
we had an address
from the mayor,

from the premier,
and we still expect...

the prime minister
to make an appearance
on the main stage.

[Girl]
Whoo!

What do you want?

- Hey, nothin'.
- Come on, Marty.
Let's just go.

Don't move.
Marty, forget it.
We gotta go downtown...

Shut up.

[Shouts]

Come on, Marty. Forget it.
Let's just get out of here.
Shut up.

Marty, we don't
have time for...
Shut up!

Great.
This is fantastic.
Shut up!

[Grandfather Clock

Look at me.

[TV Continues,

I'm not afraid of you.

I'm not afraid

You're the one
who's afraid.

[Tolling Continues]

You're the one
who's afraid.

[Crowd Cheering]

Come on, a little obvious.

[Chuckles]
No, that's for Christmas.

Yeah, that's for Christmas.

Tell her that's for Christmas
or for Easter.

Well, I don't have a copy,

so it's pretty academic,
really.

No, I told you.
I'm-I'm feeling good.

[Doorbell Buzzing]
I'm good.
I am in good spirits.

Well, I don't know
what I sound like,

but I think I would know.
[Buzzing Continues]

Um, yeah, hold on.
Hold on a second.

[Sandra]
Patrick? Hello?

Patrick, open up, please!

It's me!

Yeah, I gotta go, Dad.
Call ya later.

I love you, son.
Yeah, I love you too.

Take the phone.

Did he call?
Did he leave a message?
[Dialing]

Um, I don't know.
I didn't check.

[Ringing]

We can do that after.

Pick it up, please.

[Shuts Off Machine]

You can tell
from his voice.

I'm...
[Sighs]

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry.

I'm-I'm sure that
whatever happened,

I'm sure that he tried
to reach you.

He's obviously
conscientious.

I mean, the machine
was full, right?

So, I'm sure.

Patrick, I have
to ask you a question,
and feel free to say no.

You can spend the night
until the end.

Even if he was there,
your husband, you wouldn't
make it home in time.

It's past 11:00, and anyway
I want you to stay.

I've been thinking about it,
and it's not an imposition.

It's not like I wanna
have sex with you,
but I do feel like...

like l-I like you.

We made a connection,
and I want us
to be together.

I want you to shoot me.

Oh.

So that was the question.

My husband and I made a promise,
and I'm not backing down.

No matter where he is,
I know it's what he's doing.

I'm not gonna let this world
take my life.

I am not just gonna
pass away.

At 12:00, I'm asking you
to shoot me.

Well, I don't know...

if-if I can.

I'll shoot you too.

Well, sit down
and make yourself at home,

and, uh,
we can discuss this.

I mean, help me pick
a record to play.

[Sighs]

I mean...

Why, for instance, did you
choose this particular wine?

[Laughing]
I don't know.

It's bad wine.

Well, I don't care
who it is.
I think it's wonderful.

What's the big secret?

Did he sound happy?

[Chuckles]
Happy? I guess so.

Happy to get off the phone.

[Telephone Ringing]

Jennifer?
Hi. I'm calling
like I said I would.

Good.
I just called. It was busy.
Were you on the phone?

Well, your brother just called,
and it turns out
there's a girl after all.

You gotta be joking!
[Laughing]

Who?
I don't know.
You better ask your mother.

Hi, honey.
So, there's a girl?

Now, this is Christmas, '79.

Chester, you crazy dog.

What a wild one.
[laughing]

Oh, no, I'm wrong.
It's still Jenny's birthday.

Oh, that woman must have been
Cousin Martha,

who was visiting
from Regina.

Hello, darling.

Oh, there's a picture
of you, Rose.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, what a sour face.
[Chuckling]

[Sighs]
I wonder how they're doing.

When did they think
they were gonna watch
all of this?

Barbecues,
[Crowd Cheering]

open fires,

foreign food...

and traveling.

I like to travel.
I've been to every continent,
except South America.

So, how was Antarctica?

And Antarctica.

But even there,
I wish I'd seen it too.

Ice cream.

I guess it's pretty obvious.
No, no, it counts.

I could use some right now.

Strawberry ice cream,
straight out of the package.

Sorry.
I can't help you.

So, do you feel
like you know me?

Better than anyone.
How about you?

Me. Okay.

Uh, well, I was born
here in Toronto...

and, uh, lived here
all my life.

In North York,
actually.

And my father was
a stockbroker...

Okay, you better hurry up.

Tell me something
to make me love you.

Oh.

Uh, okay.

Uh...

Tell me your big tragedy.
What tragedy?

About the girl you loved
who ran away or died.

She died.

It's pretty obvious.

Well, people die all over.

You have to put it
into perspective.
Soon we all will.

Well, it's hard...

It's hard for me to
explain this. You'd
have to meet my family.

But, um...

Well, she taught me
how I could love.

How much.

Which is a lot, actually.
It's-It's surprising.

You'd never believe it,
someone like me, but, um...

This is embarrassing,
actually.

It's embarrassing for me
to tell you this,

and to tell her,

but, um...

she-she died,

and then they said
the world would end.

I'm sorry.

She was sick.

Remember when people
got sick...

and died
one at a time?

It's not your fault.

That she died?
I know.
That the world is ending.

Yeah, that too.
I know.

I'm not that arrogant.
Tell me more.

I want to love you.

It won't be hard.

[Sighs]
Yeah, well,
that's about it.

That's my big story.
It usually does the trick.

Okay, um,
tell me all the details.

All right.

[Grandmother]
It's hard on them.

No, it's harder
on their children.

When I think
of those little ones...

[Rose]
I don't give a damn.

People are always saying
"the children."

"Pity the children."

I'm tired
of the children.

They haven't lived,
given birth,
watched their friends die.

I have invested 80 years
in this life.

The children don't know
what they're missing.

Good point.

Well...

Uh, we should get ready.
Ready.

Let me help your mother.

[Alarm Blaring]

How do I know that you are
what you say you are?
##[R&B On Radio]

What do you mean?
I think you could tell.

Well, no.
I've never had one before, so...

I'm a virgin.
Why would I lie?

People do. I mean,
I would if I were in your place.

Yes. Well...

I mean, if you were younger...
I think I'd better go.

No. Um...
I mean...

You're beautiful.

I'd want to
have you anyway.

So beautiful.
I mean, it was...

It's hard to believe you.

That was my point.

It's nice.

Do you want a drink?
I got drinks.
That won't be necessary.

I think we'd better
get to work.

##[Continues]

[Crowd Cheering, Shouting]

Fifteen!

Fifteen minutes!

In a way, I feel
kind of privileged.

I mean,
it's the biggest thing
that ever happened,

and we're gonna be there.

I mean, no one was there
to witness the beginning,

but we're gonna be there
at the end.

Yes, it may be
very beautiful.

[Cheering, Shouting
Continue]

Are you sure you don't want
to see it for yourself?

It'll mean more
coming from you.

Is there anything else
I should get you?
I could get a clock.

I don't think we'll need one.
We should be able to hear
the countdown from the street.

Yeah, okay.

Let's go to the can,
last chance, and make
our final phone calls.

Let's take another look
at the crowds of people...
[Clock Ticking]

filling Nathan Phillips Square.

As I understand,
they have become
a little more rowdy,

although there are no
major incidents to report.

Well, pop that champagne.

It's now officially ten minutes
until the end of the world.

[Cheering, Shouting]

Out on the streets,
the crowds are getting
pretty wild...

[Alex]
This is crazy!

[Jennifer]
I'm gonna standup.
Okay, standup.

Standup and take a look.
Can you see it?

Yeah.
Whoo!

Nothing. It's...
Look, it's not you.

[Panting]

Well, what then?
We don't have much time.

[Sighs]
I've had a busy day.

We got ten minutes.
I'll be fine.

I'll be fine.

How will I know?
You'll know.

How?
It's never happened before.
How will I know?

We'll know.

It's too big.

Wait till

God, it's times like this when
I really miss the night.

The words mean,
"I am a truthful man...

"from the land
of the palm trees.

And before dying,
I want to share these poems
of my soul."

The last verse says...
[Speaking Spanish]

"The streams of the mountain...

pleases me more
than the sea."
