The Ultimate Legacy Page #6

I trust the evening

was a success.

Let me rephrase.

I trust the concert

was a success?

How does about 350k sound?

Wonderful.

I take it that figure includes

the donations from

your friends, Joey.

Right.

Kelly:

It does.

Oh, thank God!

Yeah, okay, yeah.

I'll admit my view of money

was very jaded,

or warped, to put it

in my grandmother's terms.

You know, it's funny.

Money's never meant as much

to me as it does right now

when I intend to give it away.

And, uh, miss James,

I'd like to apologize on behalf

of my friends and myself

for being arrogant,

self-centered idiots.

What are you talking about?

I overheard

your conversation, okay?

That phone call had

nothing to do with you.

Then, who were you

talking about?

It sure sounded like

you were talking about me.

No, I was talking about...

She can't tell you that.

It's called

attorney-client privilege.

Speaking of attorneys,

I'd like to address

the additional steps

laid out in miss Sally's will.

I'm listening.

Yeah, me too.

Well, Joey has proven

that he can work.

He has friends, and he can laugh

at his own mistakes.

Go on.

He's exceeded every

goal that we've set forth.

What are you getting at?

I think

you've proven yourself.

I think that we should bundle

the rest of the steps.

We can't have

any legal missteps,

but miss Sally made it clear

that she didn't want

to overly burden anyone.

Well, we're good, then.

Not quite.

The one non-negotiable

the year-long residency.

You've only been here

four months.

That leaves you plenty of time

for complete the last

learning, dreams,

gratitude, and love.

Is that true?

You weren't talking about me

last night?

You know, I have no problem

with being here a year.

Great.

Let's move on, shall we?

Joey, the learning stipulation

requires that you

not only learn,

but just as importantly, teach.

I've run into

Mr. Anderson in the...

Joey, buddy.

All right, I run

into Joey in the library,

and he's asked my opinion

on some of his selections.

Oscar has read them all.

I'm a reader.

So, Mr. Anderson... Joey...

That's going to take

some getting used to.

So, Joey, Joe-Joe, Jo mama!

Too much.

So, Joey told me to

choose any book

and tell him its setting.

I chose Conrad's

"under Western eyes."

Set in St. Petersburg.

Yeah, and Joey

then proceeded to regale me

with tales of his travels

through everything

from run-down eating houses

to ornate gilded palaces,

and this is stuff that I'd

only read about.

I selected

"heart of darkness,"

and he recounted his time

in the Congo.

I love their drums.

Those are congas.

Jason:

Can we check learning

off the list?

That brings us to dreams.

Great.

That's convenient.

Because my dream...

Is to see a man

dance with his wife.

A man hold

his baby daughter.

See a family make

their mortgage payment.

This is more than we made.

Hawthorne:

If I may,

Mr. maximillian was kind enough

to make a donation of his own.

You know, my grammy g.,

to me,

was, uh, my only real family.

But, for good and bad,

the Anderson house is part

of who I am,

and I need to...

No, I want to remain

a part of its future.

Joey, I have a

recorded message from miss Sally

that I wasn't allowed to

disclose until the right time.

Shall we convene to the den

to view it?

If you're watching this video

it means my life's work

has not been in vain.

In the coming days,

Mr. Hamilton and his staff

will take care of

legally transferring

Anderson house over to you,

and I know you understand

Anderson house

is much more than just

a bed and breakfast.

It's... it's a place of hope

and healing and destiny.

I trust you will continue

its legacy successfully,

and if you ever want to talk

to an old woman

who loves you,

well

I'll be waiting.

And now I must bid

you all farewell.

With deepest thanks,

enduring love,

and my very best wishes.

Thank you, everyone.

Um, I'd like to have

some time alone,

and I'd like a copy

of that, please.

Live it up, live it up,

live a better life

it's a brand-new world,

it's a brand-new time

and who are you?

And who are we?

Feel like I'm losing my way

like I've been stuck

in this place

feel like I'm starting

to break

I'm just trying to survive

paralyzed

very clever, grammy g.

I dare you to hold

I dare you not to believe in

the words you've been sold

and I dare you to dream

I dare you to hold

I dare you not to believe in

the words you've been sold

and I dare you to dream

I dare you to hold

I dare you not to believe

feel like I'm losing my way

like I've been stuck

in this place

feel like I'm starting

to break

I'm just trying to survive

paralyzed

my dearest Joey.

Remember this if nothing else.

Everybody struggles,

often in ways we can't detect,

just as you have.

No child should have

to witness

the violent death of a parent.

Joey:

Be kind to people,

and err on the side

of forgiveness,

especially when it comes

to your father.

Above all, be kind to yourself.

I do love you so.

May God bless you, my dear.

Your heart, my heart.

Grammy g.

I love you, grammy g.

I'm sorry

I wasn't there for you.

But I am now.

And I will make you proud.

The Anderson house legacy

will live on...

...in me.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy

toves did gyre and gimble

in the wabe...

All mimsy were the borogoves,

and the mome raths outgrabe.

Hast thou slain

the jabberwock, then?

I have.

Come to my arms, my beamish boy.

Who else knows about this?

No one.

Not Jason or angelica?

No one.

A-and this...

This is separate from...?

She added your name

to it when you turned 18.

Are you sure?

Quite.

And there's

no stipulation...

There's no stipulations to this?

I'm free.

How many moments

pass me by?

What are you up to,

soldier?

I'm gonna dance

with my wife.

How many days

will slip away?

How much pain does it take

to see it?

To live my life and love

like I mean it?

I keep all my secrets

you got a dollar?

Just happen to have one.

My room stays my room,

and the third party gets

first right of refusal.

Hawthorne...

I'm selling. You buying?

Um, well, I seldom

carry singles these days,

but, uh... ah, one moment.

My parking meter stash.

And one dollar.

Thank you.

How many moments

pass me by?

There she is.

Oh!

He, uh,

gets to keep his room.

Oh, indeed.

Continuity and consistency

are hallmarks

of Anderson house.

And this

is for the Anderson house

endowment.

$25 million.

Hawthorne:

No one who works

on this place

and no veteran ever

pays to stay here.

As you wish.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for supporting

our heroes.

No, thank you, sir.

Mr. Anderson.

Miss James.

How many moments

pass me by?

How many times have I said

I won't try

to live my life

and love like I mean it?

How many days

will slip away?

How much pain

does it take to see it

to live my life

and love like I mean it?

I'm gonna love

like I've never ever

loved before

I'm gonna leave
