- Yes.

There is a line here, all right?

You cannot cross it.

You don't understand.

It's too late. It's too late.

Then I'm gonna transfer him

to another hospital.

Mr. Jones?

Will you please come back?

Mr. Jones, come back!

Mr. Jones!

Come back!

Are you in there?

Mr. Jones, can I help you?

Elizabeth!

Elizabeth!

Maybe I can help you?

I don't think you can.

Elizabeth can help me.

You'll be moved to another hospital.

Excellent facility.

In the meantime, Dr. Rosen will be glad

to help you. Let's go back to the unit.

I don't care about you or him.

If Elizabeth wants me transferred,

I want her to tell me to my face.

Let's talk about it back at the unit.

She cannot talk to you right now.

Don't touch me. I said don't touch me.

That's okay.

Don't f***ing touch me!

Libbie?

Patrick.

Good morning.

- What time is it?

- It's 8:
00 p.m.

I'm so tired.

Listen, I just wanted to let you know that...

he's out.

Who told you?

I have a friend who's a resident at Cal.

They assessed him as being stable...

and found him co-operative

with the drug program.

So he got himself released.

Why are you telling me?

- He may try to contact you.

- No.

No, he won't.

Not me, not anymore.

I'm dead.

Hello?

- I'm trying to contact Dr. Bowen.

- This is Dr. Bowen.

I eat take-out Chinese food, right?

I'm not afraid of death.

People build it up to be something...

that you should be frightened of, but...

I'm so ready.

It would be a big relief, actually.

Like a warmth.

Dr. Bowen?

Do you think I'm pretty?

It was like that day we went to the pier

and I got up on the railing.

You thought it was stupid, right?

I can see now you still do.

Yeah, really dumb.

Yeah, I'm going to fall and break my neck.

What's the point, right?

You see, you don't understand.

Being up there is the point.

They're willing to risk everything to get it.

Hi, Elizabeth.

What would you risk everything for?

Is there anything that means

that much to you?

You're going to listen to this later?

I hope you do.

Save this one, this was a good one.

What's up?

What's this?

- It's my resignation.

- What'd you do? Kill somebody?

I've made a mistake.

I've done something very bad.

Jones?

Hey, buddy.

- Your bike?

- Yeah.

- What is it, '67?

- '68.

Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

These are so sweet.

- You got the original Girlings.

- Yeah.

Oil pan problems? Unbelievable.

- You do the paint job too?

- I have an English guy who helps me out.

- Nice, isn't it?

- This is great.

Let's put the key in.

Let's see what it's like.

- The engine's a little fresh....

- Yeah.

- Sweet, man! Good tune job!

- Yeah.

- This is great. Where'd you get it from?

- A shoot.

- What do you do?

- I'm a director.

- Direct what?

- Rock videos.

Rock videos!

Hey, buddy!

Jeffrey, he's got a bike just like yours!

Jones, Mr. Yes.

I would appreciate a call back

as soon as you hear anything at all.

He's back! He's back!

Look at you! Hey, look at this!

I came for my tools, man.

- I came for my tools!

- Cut the engine!

I've come for my tools!

They let you go?

Yeah, tried to keep me, couldn't do it.

Got out, flew away!

- You doin' all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine. Right as rain.

Need the tools.

Yeah, I got your tools. Davon,

why don't you go on in the house.

- Davon, 1,492 divided by 68?

- Yeah.

- You got a job?

- Yeah.

- Where?

- Guess.

I don't know.

- Broad Street?

- Yes!

- They finished that job.

- No.

I went there last week.

They finished that job.

No. Talked to the foreman.

Got the job back. Need the tools.

All right.

I'll go get them.

Relax, man.

I'll be right back.

- Hey, come on in the house.

- Yeah, give me the tools.

You going to stay and have some lunch?

Come in the house and have some lunch.

- Those are my tools?

- Yeah, they're your tools.

- Come on, man, what...

- Give me the f***ing....

Give me the tools.

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for....

It's not necessary.

Now, the kids would really like

to see you, you know.

Why don't you park the bike,

come in the house and have lunch with us?

How does that sound?

Why don't you ask your wife first?

Ask her.

- I ain't got to ask my wife.

- I don't feel right about it. Ask her.

All right. Hey, Thiel!

- No, man, go on.

- All right. Don't you go nowhere, okay?

No, I'm....

Watch him.

Hey, man.

21.941 167?

- Leaving?

- Got to!

Dad!

Sh*t! Hey, man!

Yes. Yes, thank you.

- Yes?

- Dr. Bowen, this is Mandy at the hospital.

- I don't work there, Mandy.

- I'm sorry, there's a man...

I don't work there anymore!

There's a man who's a friend of Mr. Jones.

He thinks Jones is gonna try and fly again.

Mr. Jones!

Mr. Jones!

I wanted to fly so much.

But I can't.

I know.

I'm sorry.

So...

now what?

Cup of coffee?

Okay.

Decaf.
