Lullaby Page #4

Oh, I called, but he...

Yeah, we... we have, too.

Listen, if I don't get a chance,

would you... would you tell him

that I love him, I never stopped?

Yeah. Yeah, I will.

Yeah.

You take good care of

him for me, will you?

- I will.

- I know.

You've really outdone yourself.

You know, your

schooling was my gift,

but find time for happiness,

because the only gifts that last

are memories. Yeah.

I love you.

I love you.

Next!

You're a most generous man.

May God bless you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Is that everybody?

I hope so.

Unless you want to throw

some more money away.

Where's Rabbi Moskowitz?

- Starbucks.

- What?!

Why is all of these people here?

Look, you other friends got to go.

They are disturbing the

rest of my damn floor.

Well, Carrie, why don't we

just take it down, all right?

You ain't running sh*t up in here.

Like I said, they got to go.

Visiting hours are over.

They gotta go.

Guapo, talking about

"take it down."

No, your pretty ass

better take it down

before I smack that handsome

off your damn face.

I mean, come on.

Knock that sh*t off.

Jesus.

You might want to

stop talking to me,

and y'all might want to

take y'all ass home.

- Seriously?

- Love the compassion, Carrie.

You can take that damn jacket off.

Keep talking, okay? Keep on.

What the hell does "guapo" mean?

And who the hell is she talking to?

I mean, what the f***?

Mom!

Said, "F***"?

I did. I said, "F***."

I'll let you rest.

I'll go start setting up.

Say it again.

You know, even when you were eight,

I thought you'd make

a great attorney.

'Cause every time I tried

to punish your brother,

you'd bang on the door

and scream and holler

and beg me not to spank him.

I was ignorant.

Well, it worked.

He never got spanked.

So it's my fault he's this way?

No, no. It's mine.

I should have used a belt.

You can both go f*** yourselves.

Rach?

Hey.

You all right?

I've been in and out of

this hospital for months.

First time anyone's

asked me how I'm doing.

Sorry. I know.

I'm just the caretaker.

But what happens when he's gone?

What happens when

there's no more us?

Who am I then?

You even care?

Of course we care.

This is hard on all of us.

You weren't married

to him for 35 years.

He was our dad, though!

Whoa. "Was"?

Don't put me in the

ground so soon, buddy.

Seriously?

Kidding.

And you...

we're married.

We took a vow of equality,

and yet you choose to exclude

me from the financial decisions?

What am I gonna do?

How am I...

You're going to go on.

You're going to find someone else.

I don't want someone else!

I can't even imagine it!

I know, but you're gonna have to,

because I can't take you with me,

and I won't have you

living with a ghost.

How can you be so ignorant?

Don't you Know I would

gladly take your place?

- I know that.

- What is wrong with you?

Mom, stop!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

Eh, it's all right.

It's really all right.

Hey.

I'm Meredith.

I met your son in the stairwell.

I'm dying, too.

Ah.

Well, nice to meet you.

Am I interrupting?

No, not at all. You Jewish?

- I'll pour you some Manischewitz.

- I am Jewish, actually.

Great.

Whoa, whoa. How old are you?

17. How old are you?

Well, there are certain privileges

you allow someone who is suffering,

and I am one of those someones.

Look, I think it's best if we all

just lubricate our feelings,

and we'll just get through this.

Should you really be drinking that?

Fine, whatever. I'm not Jewish.

I just came to see if you'd

play the kids some songs.

Should we get started?

David, our magician guy,

apparently had a nervous breakdown.

What? He lost the

rabbit in the hat?

Something like that.

Look, I'm sorry.

I can't, all right?

Karen, will you sit down?

Can't you just play

them a few songs?

Look, we're in the

middle of something.

What kind of...

What kind of cancer do you have?

Advanced bone marrow.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

Pretty much given up on me.

They're gonna send me home.

Think they just want

my room or something.

Is he always this selfish?

Yeah.

Mom, will you read this?

Why won't you play

them a few songs?

Yeah, there's no hurry.

We have all night.

No, I want to do it now.

I got all the stuff.

It'll keep.

I don't see what the big deal is.

Me neither.

I don't even have a guitar.

When are you gonna play something?

I gotta tune it first.

We don't care if it's out of tune.

Well, I do.

Do you know any rap?

No.

Do you know Miley?

Miley Cyrus? No.

Do you know Bieber?

Do I look like I know Bieber?

What about Taylor Swift?

Am I really that old?

You are kind of old.

No, he isn't.

How old are you? 30?

That's pretty old.

None of us are ever gonna be 26.

Look, you don't know

that, all right?

They told my dad that he's

got six months to live.

He's been around for 12 years.

But we're gonna die

before we have sex.

You're not allowed to say that!

If it's true, you can say it.

What? What are you

looking at me for?

What's it like?

No, we're not having this

conversation, all right?

You kids are much too young.

Old enough to die, old enough to...

Enough!

I can feel the devil

on my shoulder

And suddenly my world

is upside down

The cold inside my heart

It just gets colder

Try to move my feet

But there's no ground

You saved me once

Please save me once again

I swear this time

My life is in your hands

Angels in the sky

I need your love

Angels in the sky

I need your love

- Yeah!

- Whoo-hoo!

You saved me once

Please save me once again

I swear this time

My life is in your hands

Angels in the sky,

I need your love

Angels in the sky,

I need your love

You saved me once

Please save me once again

I swear this time

My life is in your hands

Angels in the sky,

I need your love

Yeah

Angels in the sky

I need your love

Thanks for coming out!

That was great!

Excuse me.

Great job!

Dude, that was great!

Hey. So what'd you think?

You were great!

You were just great!

You were great. It was great.

Your voi... Your voice

sounded a little strained,

you know, just like you

were out of breath.

Ah, they f***ing loved me, huh?

Yeah, well, I wouldn't

get carried away

with these people.

They're full of sh*t.

So how did... How did

you think you did?

What do you mean?

Do you think you could

have done better?

Dad, I f***ing killed it.

Did you not hear the crowd?

That's not the point.

Robert, this is not the time.

No. I get where this is going.

You just can't be proud

of me for once, can you?

No, I... Of course I

am, but I'm just...

It's just that I always wanted...

Thanks for coming out, Dad.

Dude, it was crazy.

What the hell is she doing?

Dealing with this the

only way she knows how.

I told you I wasn't

gonna let this happen.

As you can see, the D.A.'s office

was kind enough to send down

Officers Ramirez and Officer...

Poland.

Poland to make sure

that there aren't any

misunderstandings.

New York law prohibits

assisted suicide.
