Alex looks down, struck by the weirdness of it all, before *

glancing up at Matt. *

MATT (CONT'D) *

Scottie, you're next. Go ahead, it's *

okay. *

Alex passes the box and scooper to Scottie. *

SCOTTIE *

What should I say? *

ALEXANDRA *

Just say goodbye. *

Scottie looks at Alex and scoops out a pile, holds them at *

eye-level, and pauses. *

MATT *

Come on, Scottie. It's okay. *

SCOTTIE *

(finally) *

Bye, Mom. *

A sad Scottie pours her scoop into the water. All look down *

as the ashes descend. *

MATT *

All right, Scottie, here. Pass that to *

me. Good job. *

Now Matt takes his turn. He looks directly inside the urn at *

the ashes that were once his wife. *

ANGLE ON THE ASHES -- HIS POV *

A complex series of emotions passes over his face -- love, *

grief, disappointment, resignation. *

Without further ceremony he upends the BOX over the water and *

pours the rest of Elizabeth into the ocean. *

All three take a long look as the mass of ashes disappears. *

Matt takes off his LEI and places it into the water. The *

girls follow suit. *

WIDE ANGLE of the boat floating as the leis float away. *

128 INT. KING HOUSE - NIGHT 128

Scottie lies on a sofa watching television, draped with the

QUILT that lay atop her mother's hospital bed. Matt comes

over with TWO DISHES, hands one to her.

MATT:

One scoop strawberry, one scoop mocha

chip.

SCOTTIE:

Great.

Matt gets under the quilt with her. Moments later Alexandra

wanders in, notices what they're watching, sits next to Matt,

pulls the quilt over her legs.

ALEXANDRA:

Can I have some?

His eyes not leaving the TV, Matt hands Alex his ice cream.

As they sit there on the sofa, the CREDITS roll quietly over

them.
