Short filmTranscript
00:00Okay, I'm heading out, actually.
00:02Oh, but it's your day off. I thought you liked staying home.
00:06I did, when it was home.
00:18So, where are you off to?
00:20Just some errands.
00:22When's your next appointment with Dr. Ross?
00:28Okay.
00:28All right, uh, I know that you're just crashing here,
00:32but we're also co-parenting a child while you're seriously ill,
00:35so like it or not, I need to be aware of some of these things, okay?
00:38Right.
00:39You're right.
00:39Um, uh, chemo starts Wednesday to shrink the tumor,
00:45and then they'll operate sometime in the future.
00:48It's really all I know so far.
00:50Okay, so I'll get a sitter for Wednesday.
00:52No.
00:53It's all good. It's okay. I'm good. Thank you.
00:56Nate, please don't be a martyr.
00:58Okay?
00:59That would imply that I want you there, and I don't.
01:06Okay, yeah.
01:07I can be your punching bag if that's what you need.
01:09You know what I need, Claire?
01:12Honesty.
01:19Is this the reason the school payment didn't go through?
01:24Yeah.
01:26Okay, so I signed up for this
01:29before we found out that you were sick.
01:31Okay.
01:31It's just a little side hustle.
01:33Kim sold her lotions at the hospital last year,
01:35and all the nurses went nuts.
01:36Well, what is it?
01:37It's like an MLM, a pyramid scheme.
01:39She was able to make an extra couple thousand a month,
01:41which we really need.
01:42It's not about the money, Claire.
01:43It's about the fact that I don't feel like I've got,
01:45like, ground beneath my feet right now.
01:47I have no solid place to stand anywhere.
01:49All right?
01:51Not at the bar,
01:52where I have to keep on this
01:54cool boss face
01:55to make everybody feel secure in their jobs
01:57when I don't think that I can afford to pay them
01:59through the end of the year.
02:03Strong for a six-year-old
02:04when I don't think I'm even going to be...
02:06Shh.
02:08I'm really sorry.
02:10I think after all of the financial stress that I caused,
02:13I thought this would help make up for it.
02:16I'm stupid.
02:17You're not.
02:18It's all right.
02:18It's okay.
02:19What's done is done.
02:20I just want to move on.
02:21Please.
02:50I just want to move on.
02:52Ashgrove.
02:53Wow, it's, uh...
02:55It's been forever.
02:56Yes, and here I am,
02:58crawling around the dirty street.
03:00I just spotted a 20.
03:02It's human nature to grab money.
03:04I swear I'm not destitute.
03:06I will be soon, though,
03:07if I don't get another gig.
03:08Wait, you're not with Vessie Street anymore?
03:11Uh, no.
03:12They canned me.
03:13No, you're not serious.
03:15I'm telling you, that's their loss, okay?
03:17Hmm.
03:18That's what I said when you left me.
03:21I owe my entire career to you, Chris Aldridge.
03:24Oh.
03:24I'll replay that compliment in my head all day.
03:28It's good to see you.
03:29Don't be a stranger.
03:30Same.
03:31Let me know where you end up, okay?
03:33Yeah, it might be a minute.
03:35I'm an acquired taste.
03:36Alright, so...
03:38Start your own...
04:18Forgive my ignorance, but, uh, Ellis...
04:22Oh, um, Ellis is non-binary.
04:26And you just know that because
04:28you're a lesbian, right?
04:30Yeah, it was in the queer newsletter.
04:33Oh.
04:34I know because I asked.
04:36What?
04:38In my opinion, everyone should wear name tags.
04:42Pronouns, orientation, emotional availability.
04:45It's a jungle out there.
04:46That's so?
04:47Mm-hmm.
04:47Mm-hmm.
04:48I'm always the oldest one at all the gay bars,
04:51looking for my person.
04:52Mm-hmm.
04:53When I already found my person once.
04:55Whatever game I had is out the window.
04:59Maybe it's just time to get a bunch of cats.
05:01Look here, wait a minute.
05:03There's something I forgot to give you the other day.
05:05You know, that person at the computer store.
05:15Anyway, they asked me to give you this.
05:19Mm-hmm.
05:21Get out of here.
05:22Is this a joke?
05:23No joke.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Ha!
05:27Well, look at that.
05:28Yeah.
05:29Mm-hmm.
05:31The exact confidence boost I needed right in this moment.
05:34All right.
05:47Mm-hmm.
05:48Good.
05:48Mm-hmm.
05:49Well, thank you.
05:50For eavesdropping.
05:53We are on a roll, Walter.
05:56No.
05:56Damn.
05:57What should we ask for next?
05:59More coffee.
06:01I'm glad you called out sick.
06:03Well, I am sick.
06:04Of working.
06:06Yes.
06:08It's nice to see you like this.
06:10You've been glowing ever since you stepped off that stage.
06:12I know.
06:14I like this me.
06:19So do I.
06:23Hey, guess what?
06:27I'm late.
06:30Okay.
06:33How late?
06:34Like a week.
06:37Did you take a test?
06:40Nope.
06:41Because I don't need a mental spiral right now.
06:44So no more testing.
06:47I'm just going to wait and see.
06:49I can't live and dread anymore.
06:51I need to be zen.
06:53Yes.
06:55What will happen will happen.
06:58Exactly.
07:01But I hope it's happening.
07:04I hope it's happening.
07:09Mm-hmm.
07:12Hey, you're sick.
07:15Don't answer that.
07:20Are you a sociopath?
07:23Would a sociopath actually know if they were a sociopath?
07:27Good point.
07:28Or a genius diversion by a sociopath.
07:31We can table that one.
07:32Are you a father?
07:37Yes.
07:39Got one.
07:39Boy or girl?
07:41Girl, Anna.
07:42And she's six.
07:44Oh, sweet.
07:45So you're divorced then?
07:50No.
07:51Mother's not in the picture?
07:54She is, but you were never married?
07:56So technically...
07:57There we go.
07:59Technically still married.
08:00But getting a divorce, we were about to file.
08:03And things got complicated.
08:06Okay.
08:06Can you stop with the complicated complex?
08:08Blah, blah, blah.
08:08Just spit it out.
08:09You know you don't owe me anything, right?
08:12We just met.
08:14I know, I know, but I want to be honest with you because I like you.
08:20Even though you're kind of mean.
08:24Oh, I like you too.
08:26Even though you are throwing out a lot of red flags.
08:30Oddly, they're not scaring me off.
08:34That's the quote that will be at the start of the podcast about my murder, isn't it?
08:38Uh, probably.
08:39Probably.
08:43So there's one more thing.
08:45Oh, I'm not really a fan of the announcing before saying...
08:47I have lung cancer.
08:52Okay.
08:55How mad are we talking?
08:57Enough for chemo.
08:59And then surgery.
09:01So that brings me to my living situation.
09:03Um, I was in the process of moving out when I was diagnosed.
09:07I see.
09:08So you're still living with your wife?
09:10Future ex-wife.
09:11Technical wife.
09:14What?
09:14I'm not allowed to be in ours just because you have cancer?
09:21I'm very sorry to dump all of this on you.
09:24It's just that I start treatment on Wednesday.
09:26And I, um...
09:31Um...
09:33Um...
09:34It's, uh, yes.
09:35So I have, I have a choice, which is that I could, I could tell you now.
09:39It feels very early to be this intense.
09:46Or, uh...
09:49I'm sorry.
09:50I'm having a little trouble breathing right now.
09:54Okay?
09:55Yeah.
09:55My, my...
09:58My hands are a little, a little sweaty.
10:00Can you just breathe?
10:01I don't, I don't know.
10:10Oh, my God.
10:12Help.
10:12Pull, pull, pull.
10:13Easy.
10:14Oh, my Lord.
10:17That's good.
10:18Oh, shoot.
10:18I need to go to the bathroom.
10:20Okay.
10:20It's like I'm going to pee my pants.
10:22That's a good sign, right?
10:25Yeah.
10:26Yeah.
10:27Yeah.
10:27Yeah.
10:28Yeah.
10:30Yeah.
10:30Yeah.
10:30Yeah.
11:00I live to be here in one minute.
11:01Black Lexus.
11:02Cool.
11:03What are you smiling at?
11:07It's...
11:07Tell me.
11:09Okay.
11:10Those women over there.
11:12Mm-hmm.
11:12Smiling, laughing.
11:13Mm-hmm.
11:14This sounds terrible, but I'd normally be really annoyed at them for being happy when I can't.
11:22And then I get angry at myself for being annoyed and...
11:25Oh, my.
11:26Your mind sounds like an exhausting place.
11:28Most of the time, yeah.
11:30But right now, I don't feel any of that.
11:41Is our car here?
11:43Is that a 20?
11:51Damn.
11:53It's a good try, baby.
11:54Huh?
11:56This is our car.
11:56Let's go.
11:57Thanks.
12:12How are you doing down there?
12:13Mm-hmm.
12:14Better.
12:16You're right.
12:17The floor.
12:17The floor helps a lot.
12:20Why don't I lie on the floor more often?
12:22Because it's socially unacceptable for adults.
12:25It shouldn't be.
12:27If you ask me.
12:28It's really grounding.
12:29Literally.
12:33Okay.
12:34Now I want to get on the floor.
12:41I have to say, I'm a little embarrassed.
12:42I haven't really had a panic attack in years.
12:46That makes sense.
12:48You were talking about starting chemotherapy.
12:51It would make anyone panic.
12:53I think it just hit me.
12:56I'm about to start this really extensive process,
12:59and it's either going to work or not work.
13:04It's a lot.
13:06Especially as a dad, I imagine.
13:10Yeah.
13:11Having a kid makes you think a lot more about your own mortality.
13:14Sounds magical.
13:21I think I've been keeping a lot bottled up.
13:26You could talk to someone.
13:28I am.
13:29You know what I mean.
13:33I don't know.
13:35I think this city just kind of conditions you to toughen up.
13:38No matter what you're struggling with,
13:41the world keeps going on around you like everything's normal.
13:47When things get bleak,
13:49you just have to focus on the things that bring you joy.
13:53Like Anna.
13:54She's a daddy's girl, isn't she?
13:56Yes.
13:58I was too, growing up.
14:00Then my dad and I started butting heads.
14:04How are things now?
14:08Unresolved.
14:10We haven't spoken in way too long, but I intend to fix that.
14:17I'm just not sure when.
14:18I'm just not sure when.
14:25How was school today?
14:27Uh, it was pretty good, but I think I'm going to have to retake my Spanish exam.
14:30He must have got that from me.
14:32I was terrible at Spanish.
14:34But I did score two goals in soccer.
14:35You did not get that from me.
14:37You did not get that from me.
14:37Way to go.
14:39What should we have for dinner?
14:40I get to pick?
14:42Yeah, why not?
14:42Okay.
14:43How about tacos?
14:45Okay.
14:46Okay.
14:48Hi, Mom.
14:49Hi, Angel girl.
14:50I'm starving.
14:53You are.
14:54First time she said that, since beginning her treatment.
14:58We have spaghetti.
15:01You got it, kiddo.
15:04Pasta.
15:05That's a good idea.
15:11Any pain when I touch here?
15:13Yep.
15:15Okay.
15:16I'll spend some time on that.
15:17But I recommend you roll your feet out at home.
15:19You can use a golf ball.
15:21A golf ball, eh?
15:23Yeah.
15:23All righty then.
15:24Okay.
15:25I'll spend some time on that.
15:26All right.
15:26How about here?
15:27Any tenderness?
15:29I'll save you some time.
15:30You name it, it probably hurts.
15:33The worst is in my lower back.
15:36It feels like I can't stand up straight.
15:39How long has that pain been going on?
15:41Oh, well, but it's manageable.
15:43It got worse after I lost my wife.
15:48Nobody to drag me out of the house, make me walk every day.
15:53What was your wife's name, if I may ask?
15:55Brenda.
15:58You know, grief can often manifest as physical pain.
16:02The emotional, the physical, it's all connected.
16:09And breathe in.
16:13And breathe out.
16:16And breathe out.
16:25You know or can run without
16:26goin' with the test?
16:43No you're not, I'm messing with you.
16:45Woah!
16:47Do I hate you now?
16:48I don't think you do.
16:51Just do it.
16:52Start your own label.
16:55Life's short, right?
16:59Okay. Cancer guru.
17:04Isn't it crazy how something like this
17:07makes you look back on your life?
17:12Everything that led you here.
17:16What could have changed it?
17:29What's your favorite part?
17:30What's your favorite part?
17:30What's your favorite part?
17:30What's your favorite part?
17:30What's your favorite part?
17:33What's your favorite part?
17:36What's your favorite part?
18:49Look, she always knew she was too good for me, and I had to keep earning her.
18:54Yeah.
18:55Anyway, those days are over.
18:59I don't believe that.
19:01Not for one second.
19:02I bet you that romantic guy is still in you.
19:14Oh, I didn't see anything.
19:17I'm sorry.
19:17It's fine.
19:18There's nothing to see.
19:19Yeah.
19:19We're decent.
19:20We just fell asleep talking.
19:23Right.
19:23Good look for you both.
19:24It's great.
19:25Really, though?
19:25Okay, boss.
19:37Oh, right.
19:39I told Aria that I would meet her to talk about my label.
19:43The way it was needed.
19:45Don't do that.
19:46Oh, I'm doubting myself now.
19:47Don't.
19:50Why don't you have her meet you here?
19:52Lunch hour is pretty quiet.
19:54Well, if you really need the business.
19:59I haven't told Ellis yet.
20:02Who else knows?
20:03Well, my technical wife.
20:07And now you.
20:11It's okay, baby.
20:13It's gone.
20:13No, I know I left it somewhere in here.
20:16I can see it in my mind.
20:19Where?
20:19I don't know.
20:20I can literally picture...
20:25Babe, what time are you meeting Chris?
20:27Noon.
20:28It's 11.48.
20:32Um, okay, I will look more when I get home.
20:35I'm so sorry.
20:37It's just a ring.
20:38It's not just a ring.
20:40It's me and you.
20:57What happens?
20:59Okay.
21:02No.
21:04Why are you so good to me?
21:07Okay.
21:09Okay, we gotta go.
21:12Oh, thank you.
21:21Walter, what you, uh, what you doing?
21:25Oh, fingerprints all over the window.
21:28I thought I had to give it a little attention.
21:30Okay, well, thank you very much for doing that.
21:33Don't expect a discount, though.
21:38Right.
21:43Oh, hi, Chris.
21:45Hi.
21:47I'm so sorry.
21:48I'm great with faces and song lyrics
21:51and personal injury attorney jingles.
21:54I'm terrible with names.
21:55Could you just remind me?
21:56Walter.
21:57Walter, yes.
22:00It's so nice to see you again.
22:01You come here a lot then, huh?
22:03Oh, yeah, this is like my cheers.
22:05Everybody knows my name.
22:08Except you.
22:09Right.
22:12I was supposed to meet a friend here,
22:16but she's getting ready for a first date.
22:20Sorry, I'm so late.
22:22She must think I'm the biggest.
22:24Wait.
22:25Walter, this is my friend, Aria.
22:27She has the most endearing anxiety.
22:29Hi.
22:30Wait, hold on.
22:32You were the one who was singing here the other night, right?
22:36Uh, that depends.
22:37Did you like it?
22:39Oh, you're a very talented young lady.
22:41Pleasure.
23:01You're the one who's singing in the year odä»iste.
23:06Okay.
23:11It's a great day.
23:11Wait, what's up?
23:11Oh, bro.
23:12It's a good time.
23:18Wait.
23:18What's the story?
23:18What do you think?
23:18What do you think?
23:20What do you think is the story?
23:20That is the story?
23:30Well, what do you think is.
28:03But whatever this is, I have to draw a boundary.
28:05A boundary?
28:06Wow, John.
28:09What a mature approach.
28:11I'm sorry.
28:13I'm sorry.
28:14It's not your fault.
28:14Yeah.
28:17I know that.
28:30And grandma's here.
28:37I'm sorry.
28:41I'm sorry.
28:50I'm sorry.
28:53It's working.
28:54It's working.
28:54At the bar?
28:55Yeah.
28:58He's in Long Island.
29:00He's visiting a winery today.
29:01Well, that's a waste on someone who doesn't say.
29:03Well, that's a waste on someone who doesn't even drink.
29:05When's he coming back?
29:06I'll give him a call.
29:07No!
29:08Don't!
29:09Why not?
29:13Okay, Millie.
29:14I was, uh...
29:17I don't know.
29:17I was waiting for Nate to tell you this, but, um, we're separated.
29:22What?
29:25Why?
29:30It's not exactly my decision.
29:31I was hoping we could work on things.
29:33Oh, you got the tears.
29:35So, where's he staying?
29:37Here.
29:38He hasn't moved out yet.
29:39We haven't even filed the papers.
29:41Oh, okay.
29:44Do you know how many times Lewis and I almost divorced
29:47till he realized he couldn't live without me?
29:49Really?
29:50I know my son.
29:54He's gonna realize this is a big mistake, and he can't be alone.
29:59It's just a bump in the road, sweetheart.
30:01That's all this is.
30:03Okay.
30:10Yeah, isn't it?
30:12Someone just sold it to the store, and I can't imagine why,
30:15because it's stunning, right?
30:16Yeah.
30:16Yeah.

30:21You take it.
30:23Uh...
30:24Yeah.
30:25You and I got off to a rocky start,
30:29but we are family, no matter what.

31:00Yeah, I am.
31:00I don't know.
31:01You know what?
31:16How does it feel?
31:19It doesn't really feel like anything yet, although my mouth's a little dry.
31:23Checking in? No pinching or burning?
31:26No, so far, so good.
31:28I'm Angela. Are you Nate's wife?
31:30You have a wife?
31:34I'm just messing with him. He does have a wife, though.
31:38No, right. We're very separated.
31:40I'll mind my own business.
31:42Please ignore her. She doesn't have a filter.
31:45This room can use entertainment.
31:48Oh, my.
31:50Regret inviting me yet?
31:52I don't believe I invited you. I think you invited yourself, actually.
32:00Hey, Finn.
32:02Hey. Your first day?
32:04Yep. Any advice?
32:06Get ready for a long nap tomorrow.

32:27So, Finn has, um, lung cancer, like me.
32:31Never even had a cigarette.
32:34She loves that joke.
32:37Chris?
32:37Yes?
32:38Do you say spot of tea?
32:40Actually, I say cuppa.

37:04That's fine.
37:05It's not that important.
37:06I do have two rolls of coins.
37:11Sir?
37:13Sure.
37:16That'll be just fine.
37:20Sometimes your life feels like a broken rollercoaster, a thousand useless moving parts.
