So, where we gonna go?

To work, I work for a vet.

Yeah, doctors never allow me

to get a dog.

Now I'm allow, but,

I don't want to do that now.

If you feel sorry for me, I will

It's not mine.

Just get in.

Hey!

We're gonna hangout

together for the weekend.

Nice to meet you, Abigail.

Hi.

Sorry for just showed up like this.

Alec will explain, but basically, my parents thinks...

he has a shot curing me,

so, we faking it.

I thought that she can help up

around the farm.

- Yes. I want to be a vet too.

- Awesome!

Is that a Border Collie?

Yep, his name is "Batman."

I love them!

I am sorry. Should've...

- She begged me.

- Of course, it's fine.

She says it's some kind of

gift to her parents,

so they don't lose there hope.

She seems nice.

Yes.

She has cancer.

She's not gonna make it.

But she's wisely.

Are you okay?

So... when were you first diagnosed?

Third of April, four years ago.

You must be in shock.

Not really. I mean...

I was lucky, because my doctor at

the time was very cool.

He refused to call it cancer,

He said there were too many

bad connotations with the word.

My diagnosis was "bad cases of marshmallow."

I like that.

So... You two have a thing going?

- No.

- No.

- Please...

- No, really, we don't, we just friends.

That's not what Batman told me.

Are you okay?

No, I have terminal marshmallow.

- How about I take you back?

- That will be good.

I may need some oxygen.

Alright, I'll be seeing you both tomorrow?

Thanks.

I love it here.

Follow me!

What?

You like her, don't you?

She's beautiful...

Yes, she is.

But, it's not possible.

Why, because you work for her?

Can you keep a secret?

Cecilia likes women.

Oh bullcrap from Mars!

No, she doesn't!

She does.

Look, I know lesbians,

and Cecilia is not.

Oh, so you are an expert? Are you?

My sister is a lesbian and yes, I am.

Oh, you have a sister?

Yes, she's 25,

and she's a megalesbian,

Which makes me an expert.

She's lying.

Why? She's lying to you?

Is a whole other matter.

Wait wait. What do you mean?

Could I cured Charlie?

- Charlie?

So, did you get some good

sleep last night?

Yeah.

Alec told me you onto chicks.

What?

I promised him not to tell you.

I said, I didn't buy it.

Yeah, I kinda told him that,

so that he wouldn't hit on me.

I knew it.

He's cute...

Yeah, he is cute.

So, why don't you want him to hit on you?

Well, he has quite the reputation...

- He's a hothead.

- Oh yeah?

Yeah, his uncle actually warned me.

So, last night Alec actually fell

asleep at my place.

Alright, now we talking!

No, he was drunk and

he fell asleep.

Seriously, I'm not kidding.

You'll see for yourself.

I hope heaven just like this.

Me too.

What about you, Alec?

I'm not sure.

That's one shity answer.

Well, if there is a heaven, then...

If...?

What do you think happens when you die?

Has anybody in your family died?

All of them.

My twin brother...

He had what you have.

What his name?

Charlie.

When?

Two years ago.

Charlie...

Charlie must be so pissed

off with you.

- Why?

- Why?

For thinking that he just went

poof and he stil exist!

You're an idiot, Alec Bailey.

Is that the reason you lost your smile?

Maybe.

Come here.

I promise when I get to heaven

I'll send you a message.

Oh yeah?

Probably scared the crap off you.

Yes, that's for sure.

So sucks the weekend is over.

I wish I had told my parents it's

took a month for this to work.

A month? No thanks.

Now we gonna go to "Give me

Stop the truck!

What?

Alec, stop the truck!

I need to get out!

- Are you okay?

- Just stop the truck!

Stop it! Stop it!

- Alright, alright, alright.

- Stop it! Stop it!

Stop the truck!

I love this song.

This is our war song

at the hospital.

When this song come on,

we all danced.

Now the three of us gonna dance.

Come on!

- I don't dance.

- Are you kidding?

How can you not dance to this?

- Alright, then play the guitar.

- What?

Play the air guitar, like this!

Come on, come on, come on.

You gonna give me another ticket?

- Hi, Uncle Tom.

- Hi there sweetie.

Everything okay here?

The best.

- Would you come here a second?

- Why?

Just come here.

Just wanted to thank you for this...

Her father is my brother.

I haven't seen him this happy for...

A long time.

- It getting cold.

Shut up, Alec.

I'm gonna die, not from the weather.

Wait. I don't want to say goodbye

in front of my parents.

I hate goodbyes, so, rule number one,

no one gets emotional.

Deal?

- Deal.

- Deal.

I wrote you guys a poem.

Don't worry, it's really short.

It's called "Just Breathe."

We all at some point,

stopped breathing.

What if we lived one

breath at the time?

We still be thinking that breathing is

easy because it is a nate.

- Is that a cool word or what?

- Yes...

Half the time we don't

even notice our breath.

When did breathing

become the uncool kids?

That all the other body part is ignore?

Think about the phrase

"catch your breath".

You have to catch it, because

you've lost control of it.

Alec and Cecilia, find

control of your breath,

and, please, live for me like

tomorrow was your last day.

Cecilia, we made a deal.

Thanks, Alec.

I thought that this would

be good for my parents,

but... It been incredible for me also.
