One Week Page #5

Synopsis: Out of the blue, Ben learns he has stage IV cancer; survival, with treatment, is 10 percent. So this risk-averse, slow-to-act, quiet man buys a used motorcycle, says goodbye to Samantha, his baffled fiancée, and heads west from Toronto. He imagines it's a quest for Grumps, a mythical figure from his childhood; he takes digital photos of various "world's largest" roadside attractions; he chats with strangers, including two women; his bike slips on a dead skunk on the highway. Calls to Samantha meet with pleading that he return for treatment and anger that he won't. He doesn't want to be a patient yet. But, will he make discoveries, and what about Grumps? What's important?

Well, I guess they are.

When it comes to people

free numbers.

You have to.

You have to stop it?

I asked a man

walking on the road...

'How you know you love?'...

... He told me 'If you have to ask...

... you're not. "

You never had to ask

anyone verdad, Sam?

No.

Of course not...

... Are you crazy?

Yes

And not just because of that.

Of all the various forms

this can be a b*tch.

I'm obsessed with a

completely selfish.

That everyone thinks she is a woman...

... left her boyfriend because he had cancer.

I think not.

I think anyone listening to the files.

Sorry for us

this confusion.

Although that is good...

... How are you feeling?

Patient...

Its worth the trip?

Yes

But you took pictures?

It's worth a lifetime.

When we have the

rare moments of clarity,...

those moments...

that the universe makes sense,...

tried desperately to...

agarrarmo us to them....

... They are the life rafts

sometimes the darkest,...

... in the vastness of everything,

the incomprehensible nature

of life...

... escapes us completely.

So the question becomes,

or should have been:...

... if they knew what

that there was only one day...

... or a week,

or month of life...

What lifeboat hold......

What secret......

banda... What to see?

The person to declare his love?

You want to do...

What exotic place... went for a coffee?

He wrote that book?
