the man outside.

You're better than me.
[Leonard] Yeah.
Never said that in Greek.
(letter rustles)
What?
Well, my grandma, um
She died.
I'm sorry. Were you close?
She was,
she was just almost
like a Victorian figure.
Um, she was Lithuanian,
and she had this big
house in, um, in Montreal.
You'd just show up.
You know, she'd, she'd find
some activity for you to do.
She's always, um,
loomed large in my heart
because she took care
of my, uh, my family
when my father passed away.
(animal squeals)
Do you miss him,
your father, still?
I dunno, I've always felt
maybe I had a cold heart,
because I never felt
that that was the great,
operatic tragedy of my life.
I didn't, um, cry or anything.
(weeping music continues)
But I went into his closet,
and I found this
old bowtie he had,
that he used to wear,
ugly bowtie, and I
cut inside of it,
and I wrote some words down,
probably some
nonsensical poetry.
And I put it in there and,
um, buried it in the garden,
(George coughs and wheezes)
some kind of processing
of the impossible thing
that had happened to us.
I have to go and give
George his medicine.
(Charmian kisses)
You know, I saw him coughing
up blood the other day.
It's tuberculosis.
It's, it's what happens.
It comes and it goes.
(George coughs and wheezes)
Just gonna tell him
I'm getting you coffee.
You know, he knows
you're here, darling.
(Charmian chuckles)
Yes, of course.
It's, it's just a little
game that we play.

Look, your

When you lose

you also lose a part
of your compass.
It would be unnatural

It's not grief I'm

I find it incomprehensible

I find the room

(huffs) I just fall,
and I keep on falling.
And I can't form an,
a, a coherent thought,
and I have to smash something
to, to feel anything.
It's really
It's an anxiety attack.
It's not an anxiety attack.
Yes, it is,
and you got reminded
of your own mortality.
No, I'm reminded of
mortality every day.
Uh, I'm not scared of death.
I'm scared of, uh, uh, failure.
I'm afraid of wearing
the wrong tie.
This is boring.
We should talk about
something else, really.
Uh, two men speak
about death (laughs)
as if we're the first.
Much better writers than
us have discussed death.
(laughs) Yeah!
And you know what
they arrived at?
It's coming, and there's
nothing you can do to avoid it.

I'm actually

I'm just here for the weekend.
Uh, what about you?

Sometimes, I feel

You're a writer, or?
No, I'm painter.
- "Painter."
- Mm.
It had to be one of the two.
(Patricia chuckles)
There's a whole lot of us here.
You wanna go for a swim?
"A swim"?
- Yeah.
- Now?
Yeah, it's the
best time of day.
The sun has been warming
the bay since this morning.
I mean, we can just order
a bottle of wine to go
from Nick, and
Yeah, keep the glass. We
can leave it here later, so.

What do you want?

"this" is quite different.
