Then he told her

That he thought

She was

Wasting her time

With a loser like me.

So I put my hands

Around his 22-inch neck

And I strangled him!

And I strangled him!

We never went to dinner

Because I strangled him.

You say it

Like you're proud!

Well, you didn't have

The courage to do it.

Stop it!

No!

No!

I feel sick.

I feel sick.

When I was a little kid,

My mother left us.

Just left us.

I was a baby.

She said, "bye! Bye!"

I have always

Respected her for that.

I have always

Respected her for that.

Think this county will ever

Switch to the metric system?

Think this county will ever

Switch to the metric system?

I got to pee.

100% of all new arrivals

Have to pee.

Don't get up.

Ta-da!

I can't use that.

Want a bigger one?

No.

I'll get the nurse.

No! I can't pee

With a nurse around.

No! I can't pee

With a nurse around.

9!

9!

I can't pee

With the door open.

I can't pee

With the door open.

You know, you got a lot

Of rules about peeing.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I know.

Finished?

Yeah.

Mr. Lawson!

That's all right,

Having so many rules

About peeing.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

He pees a lot.

Damn it, there's

Nothing in there!

Nothing in there to

Stick or shove or cut!

No way you could kill

Yourself in there!

They're

Very thorough.

That's so stupid!

There's no razors.

New shatterproof glass.

There's no mirrors.

No mirror?

There's no mirror

In here!

There's no place you

Could look at yourself!

You can't look

At yourself!

I'm so sorry.

I wish you

Could hurt yourself.

I wish you

Could hurt yourself.

What are you doing?

You're, uh...

You're, uh...

You're a fighter.

You're cold?

You're cold?

You're hitting me.

You're trying

To suffocate!

No, don't do that!

Know what happens?

You pass out, breathe,

And get a headache.

It doesn't work.

It doesn't work.

See?

No, it doesn't work.

Shoot!

You got

A headache, right?

I got a headache.

Told you.

Look, an electric bed.

Stick your head in there

And crack it

Like a walnut. See?

Oh!

Oh!

You're not so crazy.

You're not so crazy.

Tut, tut, tut,

Marlon.

Tut, tut, tut,

Marlon.

Tut, tut, tut,

Marlon.

You've been making your

Own visiting hours again.

Get away from me

With that thing!

Come with me,

Mr. Lawson.

Just think of it as

A Polish dinner jacket.

No...no, no!

Don't say Polish to him.

He's very sensitive. Aah!

I got you!

Don't hurt me.

Get away,

You little dwarf!

I usually escape

Every Wednesday

And Friday, Mr. Lawson.

Sonny.

Sonny!

He's my friend!

Just a minute.

He's my friend.

Wait a minute!

He's my friend!

Wait! Wait!

Home, James.

Home, James.

Oh, doctor, Sonny

Will try again.

He likes to

Get his way.

Set your mind at

Ease, Mrs. Lawson,

These rooms

Were designed

To house

Attempted suicides.

The windows

Are barred.

There are no cords or

Sharp objects in the room.

There's constant

Surveillance.

There's no way he could

Hurt himself in here.

I see.

Oh!

I see.

Oh!

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, my god!

Aaahhh!

Aaahhh!

[alarm ringing]

Gentlemen, out with

The old dangerous beds,

In with the new safe beds!

Out with the old

Dangerous beds!

Sonny, listen. I know you're

Suffering from depression

As much as your illness.

Now, when your

Depression goes away--

Of course Im depressed.

I'm gonna shrivel up

And turn yellow.

Think the idea of

Looking like an old jap

Makes me cheerful?

Just calm down, ok?

It's all right.

I don't want

To calm down.

I don't want

To calm down!

God knows Ive only got a

Couple more days to live.

That's bullshit,

Too, Sonny.

Your doctor said you're

Not going to die right away.

Sonny, why do you have

To rush everything?

I don't want to rush

Everything.

The courts may decide

Very soon

That Im not rational

Enough to make decisions,

And they'll assign

Some turkey like you

To make them for me.

I don't deserve that,

Sonny.

I'm sorry.

That's ok.

Sorry.

Ah, it's ok.

I don't deserve

To die, either.

No.

I need to talk

To you alone, Jessie.

Sonny, I don't

Think so.

Please, Jessie,

Please. Please.

Uh, that's ok,

That's ok.

Look, Sonny,

I'll, uh...

I'll...Ill

Wait down here.

Listen,

I'm your friend.

I love you.

I'll do anything

For you.

I'll be your slave,

I'll get you girls.

Oh, Im sorry,

Jessie. It's just--

It's ok.

I just can't sign

That release.

It's ok, Marty.

Just, uh...

Just wait down at

The end of the hall.

And I love you, Marty.

Down here?

Down here?

Please.

Hmm?

Will you go in the room

With me, jess?

All right.

All right.

Oh, hi.

How's it going?

Good to see you, too.

[alarm rings]

Hi, hi.

How's it going?

Get me out of here!

I'm going wacko!

Honey, I understand

What you're going--

You won't understand until

You've been pronounced dead!

I'm trying

To understand.

You're doing

A lousy job.

Sonny, I don't want to

See you kill yourself.

It would be a burden

I would carry for

The rest of my life.

Don't you understand? If

I let you take your life,

It would make

My life meaningless.

Tell me

You understand that.

Jessie.

What?

You're a selfish b*tch.

Jessie, Im sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

You're just a wife,

Not a selfish b*tch.

You are a sexist ass,

Right to the last!

I know, Im sorry.

I'm just trying

To be nice.

Just trying to be nice,

That's all.

Sonny, Sonny.

Ha ha.

Forget it.

We've forgotten how

To be nice to each other.

But we should try

Harder, Jessie.

We should try to be

Nice to each other.

Let's try to be nice

To each other, ok?

Sign me out of here.

Oh, Sonny. Come on!

I've had

Enough of this.

Ok, maybe I can't

Imagine how you feel,

But can you imagine

How I feel?

No.

Sonny, suppose I wanted

To kill myself.

Would you let me?

You mean if you

Were going to die?

Yeah!

Yeah!

Of course I would.

You really would?

You really would?

Well, if you were

In a lot of pain.

Aw, Sonny.

[thunder]

[thunder]

No.

No.

No, I wouldn't!

I wouldn't, Jessie,

I wouldn't.

Oh, Sonny.

Oh, Sonny.

Oh, Jessie.

Oh, Jessie.

Dr. Maneet:
people tend

To coddle or cover up things

When someone they love

Is ill.

Makes them feel better.

Sonny:
screw 'em.

Screw 'em.

One of the worst

Aspects of dying

Is that you're so alone.

Oh, god,

You're so alone.

So alone.

People are

Unable or afraid

To share your grief.

They'll never be able to

Imagine how alone you are.

I don't have

To imagine it.

I'm dying, too.

I'm dying, too.

You're dying, too?

Yep. The doctors tell me

I can go any time.

Just like that.

Of course, they told me

That about 2 years ago.

You seem so alive.

Strange, isn't it?

I'm not always this robust.

Right now, I seem to be in

A period of total remission.

Even played tennis today.

Did you win?

No, I played shitty.

But then I also played

Shitty when I was well.

But then I also played

Shitty when I was well.

What the--what's

Wrong with you?

Heart trouble.

Lots and lots

Of heart trouble.

Lots and lots

Of heart trouble.
