CARLA: I learned the secret.
FRANCINE: You did?

- Hello. - MAN: Where are you?
- I'm at home. - No, you are not.
And please tell me you are not banging my clients again.
- I'm not getting sued because of you. - You're not going to get sued, all right?
- Just relax. - Shut up!
What's up with your friend? He's supposed to do a wedding, and he's not answering.
- Phil? - Yeah.
- I'll find him for you. - Yeah.
(DIALING)
ANSWERING MACHINE: This is Phil, leave a message.
Look, Phil, man, if you're there,
you gotta pick up the phone, man. You got a job to do this morning.
Come on, man.
Phil, wake up. Wake up.
God damn it.
(PHONE RINGING)
ROBERT: Phil, answer the phone, Phil, it's work.
Phil.
Hey.
Hi.
(RINGING CONTINUES)
Didn't think you were going to be here.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I just... I forgot.
And the... I wasn't here last night, so this mess, I don't know.
ROBERT: I love you, okay?
- (SIGHS) Robert, that's not how it works. - How does it work then?
I don't know, you could...
You could try being honest for a change.
You don't get it.
I have to go.
Here.
(PHONE RINGING)
ANSWERING MACHINE: Hello, we are not available now.
Please leave your name and phone number after the beep.
We will return your call.
CARLA'S MOM: Hello, Carla?
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
- Hey, Francine. - For you.
For me?
See, that is me.
That's me, that's you and that's the snail.
MAN: Francine.
Got to go. See you later.
(CAR DRIVING AWAY)
Later.
(IN SPANISH)
(PHONE RINGING)
Yeah.
MAN: It's about time. Where's your friend, huh?
He's actually sick, in the emergency room.
- He has appendicitis. - So you do the job.
- They're already going crazy over there. - Look, all right, all right,
but you've got to give Phil another chance.
Nah, nah, nah, no way. He's fired.
- I'm kind of starting to feel a little sick, so... - Bastard.
Okay, I'll give him another chance,
but you better get your ass over there yesterday, okay?
WOMAN: Get the suitcases, get the suitcases, go, go, go!
Get going, driver! Watch it... don't...
- ROBERT: It's okay, we have napkins, ma'am. - You shut up!
Honey, I forgot my bag, my bag.
No, you have to rush off, you have to be there in 20 minutes.
Get her to the church, quick! 20 minutes, understood?
- Yes ma'am. - My baby. My baby.
You'll make a great catch today. I love you.
Go, go, go! Bye, sweetheart.
Driver, hurry!
(SIGHS)
Where's the booze?
It's down on your right. And the glasses to your left.
(CORK POPPING)
- What? - Nothing.
Shit.
Do you have any cigarettes?
- I'm sorry, we don't provide cigarettes. - Well, you have to stop. I need a cigarette.
I can't stop. We gotta get you to the church.
Mister, it's my wedding day, and if I say stop for cigarettes,
then stop for cigarettes.
So stop for cigarettes.
(SLURPING)
Ah.
(ROXANNE GIGGLES)
(BOTH SLURPING)
ROXANNE: Daddy, look at the orange man.
Hmm.
(CELL PHONE RINGS)
Hello. Good morning, Corina.
Who, Rush? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm meeting Rush today for lunch.
What? But... He wants to play golf? I don't have anything to wear.
This arrogant prick wants to play golf. I don't have time for this.
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
Listen, what's the lab work? Did it come in yet?
This afternoon? But I thought we put a rush on it. Okay.
- All right. - Daddy, what does prick mean?
Uh...
- You heard Daddy say that, sweetheart? - Yep.
No. Well, Daddy said brick, honey. Brick.
You know, like someone has a hard head. Know what I mean?
- No. - Just don't tell Mommy.
Hey, more coffee?
- All right, enjoy your burger. - CUSTOMER: Okay.
That new apprentice is pretty, isn't she?
He's back, the comma's back.
Would you stop calling him comma? He can hear you.
Round head, hunched over his belly... Looks just like a comma.
Stop it.
- God, he admires you so much. - I said, stop it.
Sorry, madam, your eye makeup gives it all away. Now go get your comma. Period.
Maria.
Good morning, Carla.
- So, huevos rancheros with corn tortilla? - Yes.
- Extra Tabasco sauce, right? - Yeah.
And an espresso...
- Everything okay? - Uh-huh.
Double shot, with foam.
Great, got that.
Great.
Kiss me.
- What? - Kiss me.
Look, look, you're about to get married, so I don't...
Please, I need to know.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
- Oh, just don't get it on the dress. - I won't get it.
(MOANING)
Then you have a 9:30 with Dr. Roberts and Dr. Wang.
At 10:00, a reporter from the Times will be ready for you in your office,
and can you please sign that?
You need to approve your journal article.
I'll send it back to them by the end of the day.
And, by the way, you actually have patients.
You know, those little kids that are dying to see you.
Very funny. Thank you.
You're welcome.
(JILL LAUGHS)
- Tell me, have the results come back yet? - No, not yet.
- All right, I'll see you in the office, okay? - Okay.
Thank you.
- Hey, Mark. - Hey, Doc.
How you feeling?
A lot better since they took me of the chemo.
- Can I go home soon? - Well, I hope so.
We're just waiting on some tests.
We need to see how the last round of medicine's working.
But I gotta tell you, I'm very proud of you.
You're very brave.
- If the tests are bad, am I going to die? - Who told you that?
Tell me, son, what makes you think that?
My mom.
She cries a lot, and doesn't look at me.
She's, she's mad at me, because... 'Cause I'm sick.
No, son. No, she isn't.
She's just upset because she can't...
Well, she can't do more to make you feel better,
but believe me, she loves you a whole lot.
You know what I do for her?
I pretend that I feel good.
Even when it hurts a lot.
Dr. Chambers,
does the pain stop when you die?
Listen, Mark, it hurts because your body is fighting,
and that's exactly what it should be doing.
But I need you to stay strong, all right?
I'll try, but I want to go home.
Can I? Even for a little bit, please.
- I'll see what I can do, all right? - Thanks.
WOMAN: Eat your eggs.
- So, are you seeing him today? - You mean Dad?
- At 3:00. - Where?
I don't know. He's gonna call.
He's got something for me, a gift.
Well, don't get your hopes up. Remember last time,
- when you needed a telescope? - He got you that shuttle model
just after it burned up.
Well, they were probably giving them away.
And he thought you wanted to be an astronomer.
Stop slamming him.
He knows what kind of stuff I'm into. We talk now, all the time.
Well, then tell him that your sister needs money for clothes.
And if he doesn't have the cash, that he can trade in that new Mercedes.
- BMW. - What?
It's a BMW M3 Convertible.
And where do you think he got the money to buy that car?
- Gambling? - Anyhow at least he got something for me.
At least he cares.
He never gets me anything.
Hey, eat your eggs.
(IN SPANISH)
(UPBEAT SPANISH SONG PLAYING ON CAR RADIO)
Get your ass over here. Come on, son.
TEACHER: You should not forget that rainforest act
as major consumers of carbon dioxide,
and play a large role in cooling air that passes through them.
So the rainforest are actually...
Patrick, go and get the map of the Amazon from the storage room.
The what?
- Michael, will you go with him? - Come on, man.
TEACHER: So, the largest tropical rainforest exists in the Amazon basin,
in Nicaragua, and the southern Yucatán area of Central America.
Okay, so who can tell me how much of the rainforest we lose each year?
Stephanie?
- Did you see that? - What?
That shirt, man. You can practically see her tits.
It's pink and awesome. I'm going to ask her out.
- You don't stand a chance. - Why not?
That's just way out of your league, man.
- What the fuck do you know? - I know you'll chicken out.
Bullshit, I'm going to ask her.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
Again, the test results come in...
Now if he's in remission, you can take him home today.
If it has metastasized, then it's spread further.
- Let's not jump to any conclusions. - Then what?
Let me just say, that would be the worst-case scenario.
And to be frank, after what Mark's already been through,
I think you should consider taking him home, no matter what results we get.
Why would I take him home, if he's still sick? For a break?
I could recommend a few nurses for your home.
If you feel that would be the most
comfortable environment for him to be in.
- And how would you treat him there? - Pain management, mostly.
You mean, let him die.
WESTON: What about the chemo?
You said you increased the dose.
The odds are not good.
He didn't handle the last go-around very well at all.
It nearly killed him.
Now, if the test results
are not what we're looking for,
you'll need to make a quality-of-life decision.
- Quality-of-life? - Yes.
Meaning, whether your son spends the last days of his life here,
going through an incredibly painful treatment,
- or to take him home. - And watch him die?
- Honey, please don't. - No, wait, wait, wait.
Or let him die. Right, Dr. Chambers?
ANGELA: Move that higher.
Don't tell me you feel guilty.
- No, I'm not the one who's getting married. - Kind of ironic then.
- So what's wrong? - I just had kind of a tough morning.
And who's Susan?
What?
Did I call you...
She just moved the last two boxes out of our apartment.
About an hour ago.
(CHAINSAW BUZZING)
Hey, don't you know how to hold a goddamn chainsaw?
Get your ass down here.
I said, get your goddamn ass down here!
MAN: Here, you take these to the garage. You know what a garage is?
Garage, you understand me? Comprende, huh?
Here, hold this. Hold it!
Jesus Christ, come here.
Okay, we're gonna make a poached egg. I'm gonna show you how you do it.
You've got to crack the egg very slowly, and put it in nice and easy, you know.
A poached egg needs a caring hand. Okay.
You're very talented. Don't worry about it.
You're going to have plenty of time to practice. Yeah?
Huevos rancheros on rye and a poached egg.
Hey, another poached egg, huh? See, okay, you're going to do it again.
- What? Something wrong? - No.
- No, nothing. - NICK: Okay, here you go.
Now, you do it real soft and real easy.
MAN: Guys, come on.
ANSWERING MACHINE: Patrick Wise, leave a message.
Hi, Dad, it's me.
Just wanted to make sure we're getting together today.
Give me a call or just leave me a message, where and when you want to meet.
Talk to you later. Bye, Dad.
GIRL: Are you crazy? If someone catches up with us.
STEVEN: It's cool, it's cool. 'Cause check it out, everybody's gone.
We've got 15 minutes alone before the game starts.
(KISSING)
- GIRL: Stop. - You should put your suit on here.
You'd like that, wouldn't you, watching me change?
- STEVEN: I mean, let's just do it. - Stop.
STEVEN: Yeah, taking a dump. What's up?
I'll be there in a minute.
You should stay in here. Don't go...
- Steven. - Be right back.
(DOOR CLICKS SHUT)
- STEVEN: Hey, baby. - Stop that.
Will you let me in?
(TOILET FLUSHING)
So, why don't you tell me why she left you.
It's a complicated story.
Please. You either can't commit, or you cheated and got caught.
Or both.
- Maybe... - Men think we are so stupid.
We know, we always know.
You should too.
- Just admit it and beg for forgiveness. - No, she'd hate me for it.
- It was her best friend. - Spare me.
If she really loves you, she'll take you back.
I've lied to her too many times.
So what have you got to lose? I mean, she already left you,
so why don't you just try telling the truth for a change?
Right, like you're gonna tell your husband-to-be what we just did.
Watch the road.
Yes, ma'am.
(JORGE SIGHS)
So... And that was how I learned to add. Yeah.
Oh, my God. That was great.
CARLA: We need another poached egg.
Oh, my God, he is so cute.
I don't know why, but he's definitely got a thing for you.
- So what? - Go and give him a refill.
- Oh, Maria. - Go, go.
Go!
- Thank you very much, you remembered. - It's my job.
- You know, I once worked as a waiter. - Is that right?
I remember, one day, this guy came in, and he ordered the fish special.
And a couple of minutes later, another guy comes in.
He sits down, across from the first guy 'cause that's the only seat left.
The place was packed, and so, wouldn't you know it,
he orders the fish special.
Back in the kitchen, I'm handed a pan,
and it has the last two fish specials in it.
And I look down into the pan, what do I see?
The two fish,
but one's like this, and the other one's like this.
So, you see my dilemma, right? I mean, what would you have done?
Exactly. Nothing to be done.
I took the pan, I put it between the two guys,
and I ran back and I hid and I watched.
The two guys look in the pan.
And then they look up at each other.
And then, nothing happened.
Right, so the guy on the left, he goes, "After you."
The guy on the right goes, "Well, after you."
He says, "After you." "No, after you."
Right, and it goes on like this, back a couple of times.
So, anyway, finally, the guy on the left goes, "All right,"
gets a fork, reaches into the pan and pulls out
the big fish.
Well, the guy on the right goes, "Excuse me, hello?
"What, are you out of your mind?"
The left guy goes, "What?" The right guy,
"You don't just take the big fish."
The guy on the left goes, "Well, what one were you gonna take?"
The right guy goes, "The small one."
The left guy goes, "And that's exactly what you got."
- It's exactly what you got. - Right.
Finally got to see you smile.
You're losing something.
There.
Oh.
Oh, thanks.
- What is it, a drawing? - Well...
Yeah, it's my neighbor's daughter.
- Oh, can I see? - Sure.
- Interesting. - Hmm.
- Are you very close to her? - No.
Well, yes, I'm...
I mean, I don't know. Her mother died about a year ago.
Oh.
- I'm sorry to hear that. - Yeah.
That's a very good drawing.
She seems like she's, sort of, reaching out.
And the snail is great. Kid's got talent.
Hmm.
- Anything else? - What?
- Anything else? - Oh! Um... No.
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Okay.
Up here, Chambers.
- Oh, boy. - Come on, Chambers. Up here.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
COACH: All right, let's go. Line up, line up. Let's go.
Quick, quick, quick. Come on, line up quickly.
Quickly, quickly, I don't have a lot of time, guys.
Stop clowning around.
If you don't get organized and line up properly, there's no game, understood?
No line, no game.
Nice shot, Mr. Rush.
So, Walter, do you want a nice, shiny, new wing for the hospital?
I'm sorry, what was that?
I'm giving you the chance to run a major research center.
- Do you think you're ready? - Absolutely.
You know, your wife was like a daughter to me when she was growing up,
- and I'd do anything for that family. - I appreciate that, Mr. Rush.
And I certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to her.
What are you talking about?
Well, I've heard that you've got...
I mean, I don't know quite how to put this.
Violent tendencies.
Punching out some sick kid's father, I mean, what was that all about?
He told his dying son
that he was weak, and that he was disappointed in him.
You have to give these kids hope, Mr. Rush.
Sometimes, it's all they've got.
Let me be frank with you, Walter.
You're not the only one who's up for this research grant.
I'm looking for the best deal here.
- Deal? - You give me what I'm looking for,
and I'll cut your check today.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
COACH: Left, left, left. Come on.
Back, back, back. Defense.
- Here. Over here, over here. - Patrick, defense.
Spread out, Patrick, on the right, on the right, on the right.
Look, look, look, keep your eyes open, eyes open. Okay, play, play.
Good, pass it, pass it. Nice pass, Patrick.
RUSH: I bought a medical research start-up, it's...
It could be an incredibly exciting opportunity.
I was thinking, maybe, we could share resources?
- How? - Well, I figured, maybe about 50%
of your research funds towards a joint venture.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait. Is that what this is all about?
Want to kick back half of your gift to your own company?
Return on investment, that's what I'm looking for.
How about if you come down to the hospital,
and you sit in a room with a sick child who's about to die?
You spend some time with him. You know how you get your return on investment?
Is when you see that little boy walk out of the hospital healthy,
with his whole life ahead of him.
And you know you had something to do with it, that's your return on investment.
Save the indignation.
There's no start-up company, I just wanted to see if you could be bought.
(RUSH LAUGHS)
Well, now you know I can't.
Look, how about this. How about if I sink this putt,
you come down and visit the hospital?
I got a better idea.
How about all or nothing?
Thirty million for one shot.
That's more than Tiger Woods ever got for one swing.
- You're joking. - No. You don't want the money?
What about those poor little kids with cancer?
What are they gonna say, huh? Come on.
All right.
But if I sink this, you've got to promise to pay up.
I'm an old man, I need a little excitement in my life.
(RUSH LAUGHS)
COACH: All right, next goal wins, next goal wins.
Patrick, go, go, go.
There, there, there, there on the wing, look right, look right.
Spread out!
Watch, Patrick. Patrick, look up. Look up, come on.
Look out! No, Patrick.
And goal. All right, great, you guys won.
Patrick, what's the matter? What did I say? I said, "Look up".
What were you thinking? Don't tell me we didn't practice that play.
All right, come on, get out of the water.
Hey, man, what's up? Dude, are you mad?
Just forget it, man.
Where you going, man?
PRIEST: And you, Angela.
I, Angela, take you, Henry, to be my husband.
To be my partner in life and my one true love.
I will cherish our friendship and love you today, tomorrow and forever.
I will love you faithfully, through the best and the worst,
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
the difficult and the easy, whatever may come...
What's up, man?
I'm doing the job that you're supposed to be doing.
You are? All right. Just hold on, I'll be out there in a minute.
I hereby declare you to be husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride now.
(CHURCH ORGAN PLAYING)
- Check it out. - You're joking.
- No. - On the way to the church?
- Right in the limo. - No fucking way!
Now that fool's inside marrying her.
Well, I suppose, at least that fool gets the girl.
What do you mean by that?
I found it in the trash.
I don't need it anymore.
She got the last of her stuff out this morning.
ANGELA: All right ladies, over here, come on.
Come on, okay. Get together.
And, ready?
(WOMEN EXCLAIM)
(WOMEN LAUGHING)
It's a sign.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Damn it!
- Patrick Wise here. - No, Patrick Wise here.
- Hey, Dad, where are we meeting? - I can't come and pick you up.
- My car's in the shop. - BMW?
Nothing serious, just new tires, you know, the 30k stuff.
But I'm running late for a meeting in Temecula, so let's do it another time.
No, no, I can come to you.
No, it's Inglewood, over the hill, it'll probably take you a good hour.
No, that's all right, what's the address?
- 1205 Hardy. - What?
1205 Hardy.
- 1205 Hardy Boulevard? - Hardy Boulevard, yeah.
- Got it. Right, I'm on my way. - Great, all right, see you in a bit.
Hi.
Excuse me, may we?
- Oh, sure, yeah. - Excuse me.
- She's our neighbor. - Really?
- I'll be with you in a sec. - Okay.
What did you eat?
- Francine, leave the poor man alone. - No, it's okay. I don't mind.
Francine, I had a big bowl of mashed potatoes.
- Really? - They're my favorite.
Why?
Well, because they remind me... They remind me of my aunt.
- Hi, how are you doing? - Why do they remind you of your aunt?
- Because my aunt had a secret recipe. - A secret recipe?
It was so good, whenever we heard she was making them,
the whole family, all over the county, wouldn't eat all day.
- What's the secret? - Well,
we spent years trying to find that out.
I mean, we even tried to trick my aunty into telling us,
but she would never say.
We begged, we asked, but nothing.
- So, eventually, we stopped asking. - So, you don't know it?
One day, my aunty got very, very sick,
- and we knew that she... - No.
...she was gonna go on a long trip,
to the place where she was gonna get better.
So, we wanted her to leave that recipe with us
because we wanted to make those mashed potatoes for ourselves,
only we were afraid to ask her
because she was always busy getting ready for the journey.
Nobody wanted to ask her what the recipe was.
- MARIA: Carla, are you gonna deal with that? - Yeah.
Did she tell you the secret?
- Can you keep a secret? - Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
My aunt reached out her hand for me.
Just like that.
And I gently held her hand,
and she leaned in real close,
and she told me the secret.
- She did? - Yeah. She said...
Wow.
Carla, you need to hear this secret. You have to tell her.
- Oh, I will. Okay, sure. - Promise?
I promise.

I got it. You don't have to worry about that stuff anymore.
Go get on board, I'll be there in a second.
- I wanted to thank you. - It's my pleasure, sir.
No, no, no. I mean it.
Angela told me what happened, why you were late.
How you stopped for cigarettes and helped her out.
She might not have gone through with it, if you hadn't moved her the way you did.
You know, the way you were so honest with your fiancée and begged for forgiveness,
it was really sweet. Honey, your briefcase is still in the back.
JILL: Walter, I've been trying to reach you.
How'd it go?
(WALTER SIGHS)
Well, I know what a 30 million dollar check looks like.
(JILL EXCLAIMS)
- You didn't. - Yeah, I did.
Congratulations.
What? We have the money. What?
Um...
The Weston results are in.
It's not good. It's not good at all.
Okay.
All right.
Find the parents, have them meet me in my office, okay?
- Don't lose that. - Okay.
- Patrick, where are you? - Yeah. Hi, Dad, I'm on Hardy.
What's that? 1205 Hardy?
Yeah, 1205 Hardy, but I don't see any auto shop.
- I'll come outside. - All right, I'll be waiting.
- All right, I'm outside. - Dad, I don't see you.
What's this street?
Well, it's not... it's not Hardy.
Oh. Arbor Vitae?
- Oh, Arbor Vitae? - Yeah, it's Arbor Vitae.
- Arbor Vitae. - Okay. All right.
All right. I think it's a block north of Hardy. But, hurry, okay?
(HIP HOP MUSIC PLAYING ON CAR RADIO)
- That's a nice bike you got there, kid. - I gotta go.
- Lakers or Clippers? - What?
- What's your team? Lakers or Clippers? - I don't know.

Okay, okay, okay. All right, I would say Clippers.

- Clippers, huh? Yeah, that's cool. - Look, man, I gotta go.
- Sure, chief. Right after you lick me. - What?
- Go down. - Please, no.
Now. Now!
Most of his current symptoms are related to the chemotherapy.
He should start to feel much better over the next few days.
He should have weeks or possibly even months of good health,
to pursue various activities.
I have a friend at the Kid's Wish Foundation.
He can help you with any travel or anything else Mark may want to do.
And I've got the discharge papers already in process.
Thank you, Doctor, but that won't be necessary.
- We're not taking him home. - I'm sorry, I don't understand.
My wife and I discussed the options.
And we decided to continue the treatment.
I can't recommend that.
- The odds simply do not... - I'm not taking him home to watch him die.
Will you talk to her? Please.
You want him to die here, in pain?
- At home, he'll have... - The decision has been made, Doctor.
My son is sick, and he needs to be in a hospital.
Wait a minute, don't you think Mark should have a say in this?
- What are you gonna tell him? - Treat him here or we'll find someone else.

No, I'm not late, you just gave me the wrong directions.
- Come on. - And then, you know,
- this guy and his friends, they... - What happened?
They asked whether I like the Lakers or the Clippers.
- You said Lakers, right? - No.
What's taking you so long? I thought you said you were right around the corner.
- I gotta go. - No, no, no, I'll be right... Dad.
Thank you.
- What're you eating? - MARIA: Nothing.
I can see you chewing.
So, I don't point out your sore spots, do I?
- What's that supposed to mean? - Nothing.
- No, tell me. - (SIGHS) Doesn't matter.
No, really, I wanna know. What's my problem?
- Carla, I... - No, no, no.
It seems to be very obvious to you that I have a problem.
So, what is it?
I'm just worried about you.
Well, I don't bother you with my issues or my private life.
You don't know a damn thing about me, so what are you so worried about?
That's what I'm worried about, you don't say anything.
Excuse me.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Okay, I was wondering...
- lf... - I'll just go check on the whipped creamer.
So, since I told Francine that I would tell you the secret,
I was wondering if, maybe, you would like to join me for a cup of coffee.
I mean, after you're done work.
(STUTTERS)
- Well, I still have some work to do. - She's finished.
- I have at least a half-hour to my day, so... - I'll cover.
Really? Great.
You know, I'm sorry, I have the kitchen to clean, and...
- Already done. - Then there's the cutlery.
- Did the cutlery. - Really?
(LAUGHS)
All right, then.
- Coffee. - Really?
Yeah, let's go.
ROBERT: I just... I need to talk to Susan.
Where is she? I need to know.
I need to know where she is, okay?
To the airport, where's she going? Did she take the shuttle?
(MACHINE WHIRRING)
Hi, guys, excuse me, I just need to see if there's somebody...
- Hey. - Hi.
- Did you get the money? - How do you know about that?
- I heard the nurses talking about it. - Yeah, I got it.
- What're you gonna do with it? - Cancer research.
- So I can help little boys like you. - In the future?
Yeah.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, son.
We have to...
- We have to restart the treatment tomorrow. - No.
I'm not gonna do it again. I can't do it again.
It burns, Doc, from the inside.
I can't move, I can't breathe,
and it feels like icy needles.
Please, Doc, you said you'd help me.
I know, son.
I know.
It's the only way to make you healthy again.
We have to try.
- This is the best chance we have. - No, it's not.
Why do you try to hurt me when you can't cure me?
I want to go home, I don't want to be here anymore.
- I'm going home. - Mark.
No.
(MARK GRUNTS)
- Let me go. - Shh. Take it easy, son.
Take it easy.
I hate you.
- Susan. - Oh, my God, what are you doing?
Susan, I know that I'm not...
I'm not the easiest person to get along with.
And I know that I'm not the best listener sometimes...
But that's all bullshit, okay? I'm scum.
I'm dirt, I'm... I'm less than that.
I slept with her best friend.
But I get it now.
Susan, I get it. I know what I did was wrong. I know that.
If you give me another chance...
If you give me another chance, Susan, I will show you that I can change.
Why? I mean, what makes you think that you can change?
A bride.
I took a bride to a wedding today,
and she made me...
She made me realize just how important love is.
And how important you are.
- What's that? - It's a ring,
Susan, I've been carrying it around with me.
No, what's that?
Whose are these?
Oh, my God, you didn't.
Tell me you couldn't. Tell me even you couldn't do that.
- Just go. Go, go, please, just get out. - Susan, just listen to...
Get out!
Hey, you heard the lady.
Man, you look like a truck hit you.
Yeah, chain fell out.
So, you must be Patrick.
Your dad had to leave.
Some meeting in Temecula.
He wasn't very happy about it, but he left you something.
Here.
(SIGHS)
You wanna be an astronaut?
No, astronomer.
I wanted to, but not anymore.
I love watching the world spinning myself.
You can only see it spinning from space.
So, why do you wanna be an astronomer?
You don't know much, do you?
Um...
- Look back in time, I guess. - How's that?
When you look through a telescope,
you see stars 100 light years away. Do you have any idea
how long it took for that light to get to you?
- A hundred years, I guess. - Yeah, that's right.
So, what you're looking at is, what it looked like 100 years ago.
So when, let's say, an alien
living on a planet 100 light years away...
- There's no such things as aliens. - How do you know?
- You ever seen one? - No, thought I married one though.
Wow, cool jacket.
Yeah, thanks.
Okay, but for now, let's just say there are aliens,
and one of those bastards looks through his own telescope and spots us.
The alien sees the Earth as it was 100 years ago?
- That's right. - Then they get to look into the past too.
I like that. But that means the alien sees the world
without you and me, 'cause we haven't been born yet.
Yeah, that's the way it is.
(PHONE RINGING)
I gotta get that. Be right back, and then we continue, right?
This is interesting stuff.
Hello. Hey, Son.
What's on your mind?
Don't worry, we'll talk about it when I get home, all right?
Okay, be good now. Bye.
COMMA: It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Nice day. - Yeah.
Is that a gazebo?
- Shall we? - Yes.
- Shall we investigate? - Sure.
- Sit down? - Yeah, okay.
(CARLA LAUGHS)
- Thanks. - Sure.
(UPBEAT SPANISH MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
(IN SPANISH)
So, your aunt,
you tried to get the recipe out of her for years, yeah?
- And she never gave it up? - She never...
Well, we begged and begged and begged,
and she would just get angry so, eventually, we stopped asking.
Hmm.
One day, my aunty got very ill,
and we knew that, you know, she wasn't gonna make it, so the family
all stood around her bed,
and I finally worked up enough courage,
and I told her
that she couldn't take it to the grave with her, that she had to, please
give us the recipe. I said "Aunty,
"please tell us,
"why are your mashed potatoes so good?"
- And? - And, well...
She reached out her hand...
And I...
I gently held her hand.
What's the secret?
What's your secret?
What?
Your secret. What's your secret?
- Look, okay, you don't have to tell me. - I...
- I'm sorry, no, it's... - No.
- Maybe, I shouldn't have... - (STAMMERING) No, it's... it's too much.
- No, I can wait. - I...
I can wait.
I'm sorry.
But what's the secret?
Secret?
(STAMMERING) Well... She... Okay.
She took my hand,
and she leaned in, real close,
and she whispered,
"I never made enough."
- She never made enough. - She...
She never made enough.
(CARLA LAUGHING)
- What are you doing? - I've gotta get out of here.
But what about Mark? I mean, why hasn't he been discharged?
You tell me.
(SCOFFS)
Okay, go.
Francine.
(BANG)
Francine.
- Look, Carla, it's coming out of its shell. - I learned the secret.
You did?
(BRAKES SQUEALING)
No!
Francine!
Francine, mi amorcito, mi amor.
Fucking drunk.
(CLATTERING)
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
No, no, no.
No.
(JORGE SPEAKING SPANISH)
He's dead!
