Now here we are in 2016,
income tax around the world
we've seen in hundreds of years.
Joe.
Joe!
Here, it's hot.
So yesterday was eventful.
Please, come on.
It'll do you good.
How bad was I?
Was I bad?
I was bad, wasn't I?
Well, how bad was I?
I tried to help you and you said
"Don't touch the merchandise,
you f***er."
You referred to yourself
as merchandise.
No, I didn't. I didn't.
I'm such a dick.
What else did I do?
Don't tell me,
but do obviously tell me.
Well, you quit quite a few times.
Hey, this is good.
Yeah, I remember that bit.
I take it I'm fired
though, not that I quit.
You know that I'm in
love with you, right?
- F*** off, Joe.
- Yeah, you know I am...
I am.
I just wanted to say
it just once.
I actually feel
a bit better now.
Good for you.
You need to get your
sh*t together, all right?
Well, you still got
a job if you want.
I don't know. I guess...
I just find it hard to care
about anything at the moment.
Well, when you remember
how to give a sh*t
give me a call, okay?
I'm not gonna come back, Joe.
I'm out of it now.
Well, you're not gonna
fall off a cliff, are you?
We're still gonna
hang out, right?
Definitely.
I'm sorry I was a tad
mental last time, wasn't I?
Not really, no.
Swerve and curve.
I like your style.
I'm a master of the old
duck and dive myself.
I'm very adept to ignoring
important questions.
And what are they to you, Daphne?
What are the important questions?
Oh, my God, you're my hero,
blew it right back in
my court like a pro.
Yes, sweet, your smile
means you don't hate me.
Amazing.
You, uh...
You asked me last
time I was here
what sort of emotions
And I don't really feel
much about the guy. I
Well, that's...
That's not quite it.
Just... I don't feel much.
I'm not...
that's not normal, right?
And it...
it only recently occurred to me
because someone else mentioned it,
to check if he was still alive.
And you know I got his address,
and I was thinking
of visiting him,
but inside...
Inside there's not much.
What would a normal response be?
What would it be to you?
I don't know. That it mattered.
That his life mattered.
What about your life?
Does you life matter?
I haven't felt like I'm
alive for a long time.
I don't know. I don't know.
You know, Daphne,
we don't always feel
as the correct emotions
at the correct times.
That doesn't make us unhuman.
without necessarily having
great big operatic
emotions about it.
The action of visiting
him, that still counts.
Our actions count.
Even if we don't think
that much of them,
perhaps later on we will,
but we don't need to wait
for that to do things.
That's surprisingly good advice.
You know, we might officially
have to inform the police,
in case it affects
any legal proceedings.
But what I would like to ask
is why do you want to see him?
Can you tell me?
I...
I'm just tired and
I think that therapy,
from what I understand
of it, is mostly bullshit,
no offence, but I'm not gonna
spend months and years
talking about what my mom
and dad did or didn't do.
So, what would you
like to talk about?
I don't want to talk about
what I don't want to talk about.
That's fine.
And don't worry,
these things take time.
You can always come back,
even if it's bullshit.
It's fine if it's bullshit.
Bullshit can be useful.
Do you mind if we don't...
Can we not talk,
can we just sit for a while?
Hey, um, I think you
gave me the wrong number.
You see, I've been calling
you, but get no answer.
Oh, that explains it. I was
wondering why you hadn't called
- when you promised you would.
- Well there, it's bizarre,
because when the phone
goes to answering machine,
a woman called, Daphne,
tells you to leave a message.
I didn't expect to see you again.
By the fourth time with no answer,
I wasn't sure I wanted to.
was... I am dealing with.
Finish work in a few
hours, come back to mine.
I don't know. I'm not
really in the same mood I was
when I last met you.
At least not sex.
- I mean, not right now.
- In that case, maybe I'll take a pass.
You were the one who said
you didn't want to have sex.
If we're quoting each
other, what I said was,
I didn't only want to have sex,
- What does something more mean?
- I don't know.
It just sounded like a good
thing to say at the time.
Oh!
Is it really bad that I find it
cheesy that you're holding my hand?
No, as long as it's not bad
that I continue to hold it.
Listen, David,
I actually just came to say
that I don't really want
Okay, okay, so how long do you think
I need to give you before I call?
- Honestly, don't.
- I'll call you tomorrow, will I?
- I've gotta go.
- Cool, let's chat later on tonight.
Honestly, don't call
me cause I won't answer.
So, I'm trying to
have the last word.
- You're being a dick.
- You're being a dick.
What, is that it?
Say at least one more thing.
That which maintains all beings.
That which maintains all beings.
Situated throughout space.
Situated throughout space.
So long as all have not attained
So long as all have not attained
- to peace.
- to peace.
Aunt Rita.
Oh, Christ, I meant... sorry.
The reason I get so
pissed off by the chemo
and the mindfulness, I
don't want to lose you and...
I dunno.
I know that I've been
too hard on you.
It's okay, cause, you know,
we don't know everything.
Just, yeah.
- Just, um...
- I know, I know,
you're trying to apologize.
Sh*t. Doesn't mean crap.
Darling, you don't
know what it's like
to have to really,
really have to face your
own... death, Daphne.
I know I don't know. No, I know.
I mean, it can't just be,
oh, I don't know,
you're born, you work, you
have a child, and you die.
It's not enough. I want... I
want more than that. I want...
That's why I'm trying to,
you know,
before I'm not here anymore,
I suppose.
I forgot my fags.
- Oh, f*** it.
- Yeah, f*** it.
I'm proud of you, Mom.
I know now that you're trying
it is probably a good thing.
This delicious.
How did you make it?
My wife says because
you are so skinny,
she will write you the recipe.
Normally she would not
write it for anyone,
because it is a family secret.
But she says you are
like the kitten
that is so skinny that
the whole village
kicks it away.
I don't see why is that
funny? That's terrible.
She... she... no, no,
it is more than sorry.
How do you say it?
It is the pity. She pities you.
Are you Samir, then?
Your dad wouldn't
shut up about you.
He kept saying your
name over and over again.
"Samir, Samir."
Oh, well, I mean, he
said all of your names...
He was holding a photograph
of all of you.
And, yeah, crying and...
Yeah, it was... it was...
It was... it was lovely,
