- Calm down.
- Shh. - ...
Is pay with a check.
You don't pay bills
with a check.
Why, my dear girl?
Becae bills paid by check
Leave a paper trail.
someone can follow,
And just so you know--
Just so you know,
What I predicted
has come true.
The cops traced--
- The cops?
- They traced it
To my storage file.
They broke in
and they took--
Whatever, who knows?
--All my personal files
To do god knows
what with.
- And now they padlocked it...
- All right.
- ...So I can't get in!
- I'm sorry.
- You're sorry?
I'm sorry it happened.
No one would expect this to happen,
And mr. Fieger can get
everything back for you again.
- Oh, mr. Fieger's gonna do it.
- Just calm down.
- I have explained to you.
- Nobody's gonna put
Do you understand? He is gone.
- He is finish.
They have my files! - Shh. Shh.
There was an overdue bill...
- That's right. - ...
And ava sent the check in.
- She just wasn't thinking.
She wasn't thinking. - She wasn't thinking?
- Wasn't thinking? You're being so generous.
- That's right.
It was stupid.
It was blatant stupidity
- On her part and your part.
- Keep your voice down.
- Stupid! Stupid. She was being stupid.
- Hold on there.
- Stupid stupid. - Don't you
talk about my daughter that way.
- I'll talk about her that way.
- Do you hear me?
- You calm down. Now stop it!
- I am completely calm!
- Calm down! You're not calm!
- You know, I can't trust you.
- I can't trust you and I can't trust her.
- You can't trust me?
Either one of you. Together.
You don't make it easy for me.
You're supposed to make it
easy for me, but you don't.
How dare you, jack?
How dare you?
You did this for the last time.
For the last time.
All my life, I've been
making it easier for you.
- Yeah, you make it-- - all my life!
Do you hear me?
- Look who's yelling now.
- And it's been no walk in the park!
That's right, it's been
no walk in the park!
And I'm going to tell you something
else-- nobody takes care of me.
I want to ask you: Who do
- Nobody! Not you, jack.
- I'm gonna take care of you.
- Certainly not you!
- Right now I'm gonna take care of you.
From now on, all you're gonna
do is operate the camera.
That'll take care of you.
Believe me.
You'll be fine with that,
'cause you can't screw that up.
- Okay, is that what you think?
- As for your daughter--
- I have news for you.
- As for your daughter, the jury is out.
You'll be doing it for yourself.
You do it for yourself.
You're gonna do it.
How's that for news?
- You'll do it, jack!
- That's fine by me.
- I'm through with you!
- I'm through with it!
- Go ahead, set the alarm.
Who cares?
Is this us?
Yeah.
- ( door shuts ) -
You set that off.
Where the hell
is she going?
( typewriter clicking )
Margo, could you step
into my office
For a second?
I need to talk to you.
My dream was
to be an olympic skier.
And after the car
accident, there was...
A chance--
Well, they told me that
there was a chance
That I'd get the use of my legs
again, but it never happened.
So...
gasoline one night
And lit a match.
You know, the only thing worse
than this nightmare existence
Is the nightmare of a
botched suicide attempt.
I wish I could help you, son,
but it's not possible.
What-- what you're
suffering--
What dr.
Kevorkian is trying to say, glen,
Is that you're
clinically depressed,
And under these circumstances,
we can't help you.
If you deal with
your depression,
You can lead a fulfilling
and satisfying life.
And we'll help you find
someone that will do that.
Parkinson's
takes years--
Years before it compromises
your daily activities.
I don't think we can help
you now is what I'm saying.
But if and when
the time comes,
We'll be here for you.
Okay.
( knocks on door )
You know I've never been
one to hold grudges
And I'd like to let
bygones be bygones.
What do you say?
Good.
So we're reconciled?
- I hope so.
- Well, that's good.
Good.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you.
You need to get ready.
Ready for what?
Dinner at mr.
Fieger's.
Very nice.
What's that?
Oh, it's a notice of sale.
I mean, this whole
building's kaput.
We can live together.
We'll be known as the
unemployed kevorkians! Yay!
Unemployed?
What does that mean?
It means...
I got fired.
No.
When?
A few weeks ago.
You're just
telling me now?
Jack, we had
a falling out.
What happened?
I'm your sister.
What else?
( chanting ) life is god's choice!
Life is god's choice!
- Margo:
Oh, my gosh.- These are my new daily visitors.
Life is god's choice!
Are you going to kill every
single person in a wheelchair?
Disabled people are not worthless.
They are not a drain on society.
You cannot rid the world
of inconvenience.
You are worse than an .
Oh, shut up,
you witch!
These are not
comparable issues.
Some great minds have died with
the assistance of their doctors--
Sigmund freud,
king george.
Jack:
If it's goodenough for the aristoi,
It's good enough for
the hoi polloi.
an age of enlightenment,
- You idiots! - Woman: Only
god can create and destroy.
Have you no religion?
Have you no god?
Oh, I do, lady.
I have a religion.
His name is bach--
johann sebastian bach.
And at least my god
isn't an invented one.
- ( car starts ) - ( chanting
resumes ) life is god's choice!
Life is
god's choice!
Life is god's choice!
Life is
god's choice!
Life is god's choice!
- Life is god's choice!
- Man:
Who do you think you are?!Life is god's choice!
- Life is god's choice!
- Who do you think you are?!
Life is god's choice!
Life is god's choice!
Life is
god's choice!
( silent )
Life is god's choice!
Life is
god's choice!
Life is god's choice!
"a fart on thomas putnam!
"
( all laugh )
Of course, that was the lone
laugh in the entire play.
"because it my name.
Because I cannot have
another in my life.
Because I am not
worth the dust
On the feet
of them that hang.
How may I live
without my name?
I've given
you my soul;
Leave me my name.
"
Woman:
Oh.Is there
any more to that?
- ( laughing )
- no.
- Margo:
Oh, jack.- That was beautiful, jack.
- Thank you.
- I didn't know you knew that.
That's very good.
That was great.
- It's all I know.
- You didn't like the sea bass?
It was
a bit fishy, but--
- Oh.
- No no no no.
Why did
you never marry, jack?
Oh.
He was engaged once.
She worked at hudson's
on woodward, downtown.
- I knew her. I saw her.
- Let's not go there. Let's not go there.
- No, I didn't like her.
- Jack:
Let's not go there.- All right, I won't go there.
Oh, come on, come on.
Tell me about this fiance.
