It doesn't look good, Richard.
In fact, to be quite frank, it looks pretty bad.
Rather than beat around the bush,
I'm just going to come right out and say it.
Richard, you have stage four lung cancer.
The pain you've been experiencing in your upper back
is actually the result of malignant tumors within your lungs,
which it sadly appears you've had for some time.
As we're catching this late in the game,
your cancer has also had the opportunity to spread
specifically to your spine and adrenals.
You'll want to put in notice with the college.
You should notify Veronica and your daughter as soon as possible
as treatment will begin immediately.
How long are we talking?
With treatment...
a year.
A year and a half, if you're lucky.
And without?
Probably six months.
I am so sorry, Richard.
Fuck.
So let's make this a fantastic quarter
and get that extra little bit of funding
that we so desperately need.
Uh, any questions?
Fuck.
What? Urn... Okay.
Fuck.
Jesus fucking Jesus.
Jesus! God! Fuck.
Fucking bastard!
Fuck! Jesus!
Fuck it, huh?
Fucking God!
FUCK you!
Oh, fuck.
- Shall the atheists say grace then? - Shut up, Richard.
Of course, my dear.
I actually have something I want to say.
Go ahead, kid. What do you got?
I wanted you to know that I'm gay.
- What on Earth? - Jesus Christ.
Olivia, I thought it was something bad.
No, you're not, Olive.
- What do you mean I'm not? - You're not gay.
I mean, you're not a lesbian.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah. No, I think I'd know my own sexual preference.
- It's just a phase. - I, for one, think it's fantastic.
Don't placate her.
- I'm not placating my daughter. - How dare you deny me like this.
I'm not denying you, sweetheart.
I'm just denying your call for attention
or whatever else this is.
That's all.
I know you, Olive.
- Better than you know yourself. - No, mother.
You don't know no shit about me.
Olivia, please come back, sweetheart.
- Olivia. - Let her go.
Your finesse of parenting...
has always amazed me.
I also have something I'd like to say.
I can't wait.
I'm having an affair.
I'm having an affair and I thought you should know.
And why did you think I should know?
Because it's with Henry.
Henry who?
Henry Wright.
- Henry Wright? - Mm-hm.
My boss?
No, no, no, no. Veronica. That's real revolting.
Are you out of your mind? Come on.
At least have a little bit of taste in your infidelity.
It's up to you,
but I'd fuck the pool boy myself or a plumber...
then had some fucking nutless sack.
I assure you it's not empty.
What?
Henry's been blessed with a spare testicle.
Henry was blessed with a spare testicle?
Are you sure it's not a cyst
or a cancerous growth?
Do you even care?
About his third nut?
No.
No, I don't.
As far as I'm concerned,
that real estate's lost its value long ago.
You're such an ass.
Self-admitted.
So let us drink to our holy matrimony.
- Drink by yourself. - Much better idea.
Ugh. What was it you wanted to tell us?
I was, uh, afraid I overcooked the steaks.
Such an asshole.
No, but that's not what she's saying at all.
She's-she's laying the groundwork for the whole feminist movement.
Go on.
Like a hundred years in advance and...
What was that?
Oh.
Aren't you gonna do anything?
Like What?
I don't know. Call someone?
Were you friends with it?
Did you know it personally, by, like, by name?
It's a fucking bird.
I don't know who to call.
- Can I continue? - No, you may not.
Oh, whose phone is it'? Is that your phone?
Shit.
- There we go. Here she is. - Sorry. Mine. Sorry.
Um, I thought it was on vibrate, but it's...
No, no, no, please, take your call. Stand up and take your call.
Please. Don't be shy.
Stand up and take your call.
Hello.
I'm gonna call you back actually because I'm in a class.
No, as in I'm in class.
Right now. I'm standing up.
I know.
It's weird. Okay.
Goodbye. Bye. Bye.
Fascinating.
I'm sorry.
Oh no, don't be.
Okay.
From here on out,
we're gonna do things very, very differently.
So for those of you
who are not even remotely interested in being here,
please leave.
Just simply walk out the door
and you'll receive an automatic
I no longer have time to be wasted
nor do I intend on wasting yours.
So for those of you
who receive grades of, say, a "C" or worse...
let's just be proactive.
Pack up your shit and vamoose now. Hmm?
Good. Here we go.
If any of you have any intentions of studying business,
get the fuck out now.
I'm not gonna say it again.
If you look down and you happen to find yourself in sweatpants
or rather pants with the drawstring or something,
- just please leave. - What?
Most important of all, if you've never read a book
for our own internal pleasure...
You don't belong here. Get out.
If any of you find yourself falling into any of these categories,
I assure you, you will not do better than a.
Here we go.
The government workers
and the politicians included.
The, uh, sweatpants comment's not a joke.
I'm sick. I have a cold.
Right. Now, for those of you who are interested
in learning from greater minds,
and there are today...
you're in charge of reading one book and one book only to this quarter.
After doing so, you will then stand up here
and you will run a class of your own.
Excellent.
There go the kings and queens of the water cooler.
Corporate whores of tomorrow.
Maybe not.
And then you will stand up here and you'll persuade your peers
of the work's importance.
For that, you'll receive a.
If you teach us something new, you receive an.
Any questions?
Um...
Ah-ha. Yes. One more thing.
No feminist or queer propaganda.
The plight of unkempt women is truly the last thing
I would like to think about right now.
I don't think you can do that.
I just did.
And now, I shall embark on an emotional...
bender for 72 hours.
Most likely, I'll be drinking alone.
And I'm all right with that.
So as a result, class is canceled.
That's it.
Class dismissed.
Oh, yeah, by the way, if any of you sell marijuana
or you know anyone who does, would you please visit me
during office hours?
Thanks.Bye.
What the fuck?
I need to go on sabbatical next quarter.
I would... No, I can't give you a sabbatical, it takes a year.
A year to get that kind of thing done.
You're gonna have to do something to speed it up.
No, I can't.
What do you want to go on a sabbatical for?
I would like to write the next great American novel.
- Oh, yeah? - Or novella,
- depending on the length. - What's it about?
It's gonna be about an orphan
who raises rabbits or bunnies 'round.
And what's it called?
Right now, the tentative title is Bunny Fun Found
because her name is Bunny and oddly enough,
- she was having fun... - You're full of shit.
You're full of shit. You're having me on.
- I have cancer, Peter. - What?
I have cancer and it doesn't look good.
Jesus Christ, Richard.
L-I don't want to die here.
I don't wanna die here like this.
Please get me out west.
Just let me die alone. Let me die in peace.
Oh, Richard.
No hands above the table.
Okay.
What kind of cancer is it?
It's, uh, it's lung cancer.
You don't smoke.
No. I can now.
Listen, this is what happens to everybody.
It's what happens to all of us.
I mean, you could be ridden with the same damn thing.
Why would you say something like that to me, huh?
No, no. I'm making a point. I'm sorry. It came out wrong.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - That's all right.
There you go.
I really hate these effeminate glasses.
What are we gonna do?
I'm gonna fill my medicine cabinet.
And...
I'm gonna ride this thing out.
Wait, you're not gonna get treatments?
No.
Oh.
- You owe me, Peter. - Uh, yes.
Yes. Yes, of course.
Thank you.
You can let go of my hands now and then we can have a drink maybe.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
So to the month's end.
To your health.
- There's no need to be facetious. - I didn't mean to be facetious.
And don't go blabbering your little wet mouth about this.
- No, no. - This is no one's business
- but my own. - Of course.
I think your art is brilliant.
Stunning.
And a wonderful investment.
In fact...
Could you do the whole campus?
- Certainly with your talent... - For the College of Florida?
That's my responsibility. You don't need to worry about that.
To your latest infidelity.
And your honorable cuckolding.
Hmm-hmm.
Ooh, what's that?
It's a white oblong pill.
Where'd you get it?
We're well-to-do middle-aged WASPs.
We can get prescriptions for anything we want, darling.
Okay.
If you behave yourself...
I'll give you a blue triangular one next.
I hear you're quite fond of them.
Onto serious matters.
- Go for it. - And you know at heart,
I don't give a damn about you and Henry.
You do whatever you please.
But you have to realize that from here on out,
I'll be living just as freely.
I've played a rather quiet role in the tragedy that is our marriage.
And...
quite frankly, I'm done.
It's time that we lived a bit closer to the...
primal truth of it all.
So from this point on, let us fuck who we wanna fuck.
Let us ingest what we want to ingest.
And all in all, just do whatever the hell we damn well please.
Here, here.
One request.
That we do so discretely.
Let us at least attempt to keep the parental damage
to our sweet lesbian love child to a minimum.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Wonderful.
And the matter is settled.
Richard?
Yes, dear?
Dare I ask if your equipment still works?
I don't know.
I mean, sadly, it's laid dormant for years.
But if it doesn't, it's just one more prescription to fill.
Here's to, uh, our new lives.
And your new freedoms.
Now, hand over a blue one I've behaved myself admirably.
He was like this, um...
17th century poet who fell in love with his cousin and...
- Fell in love with his cousin? - Oh, shit.
You are such an asshole.
- What? - My parents are home.
Hey. It's okay.
Can you promise not to judge me?
Don't worry, seriously.
- It's broken. - Hmm.
I mean, the whole thing is broken.
Oh, Olivia. Look, dear.
- It's Olivia and company. - What's going on?
Uh, your morn broke the lamp.
- Are you all right? - Yes, darling.
Of course, why wouldn't we be?
Because you seem like you're drunk or on drugs.
Admittedly, we are on a bit of both.
But don't let that influence your decisions.
Oh, don't listen to him.
They're just prescriptions.
- I'm Veronica, Olivia's mother. - Hi, I'm Taylor.
Oh, nice to meet you...
Excuse me.
Careful, dear. Let's not exert yourself.
So is this...
- Is she... - Taylor is Taylor, Mother.
Yes, yes, of course, you are.
And by the way, I'm-I'm Richard.
- Would you like a drink? - Yes, please, come.
- Join us for a drink. - No, hang on. No.
You're being very creepy. We're going.
- Creepy? - Yes.
We're just having fun.
- Come on. - Hey, well, it was very nice meeting you.
- Bye. - Nice to meet you.
That was pleasant.
So how do you think that went?
On a scale of one to ten, I'd say a four.
Agreed.
I'm only mildly disappointed in myself.
I feel shame.
Yeah.
What happened to us, Richard?
What happened to us?
- Life. - Do you know if I could go back in time,
I don't even know what it is I'm supposed to fix.
Oh, I could readily think of many things.
I didn't ask you.
True.
You're gonna break all our wedding presents.
Did you ever notice that they're all hollow?
Ah, what does that mean?
It doesn't matter.
Richard?
Yes, dear?
Thank you for helping me.
Of course.
Holding your hair back has always been one of my life's great honors.
I'm serious.
In a way, so am I.
Do you think Olivia hates me?
Yes.
But she's supposed to.
I'm not a bad person.
I know you're not, Veronica.
No one ever said you were.
Well, you are a...
a relatively attractive group of kids.
I mean, I see a few weak chins here and there.
But I think that's probably just due to some fine New England breeding. Hmm?
Beautiful mother, rich father,
cold winter, that kind of thing.
Do you smoke?
No.
You look like you do.
I do, Mr. Brown.
Would you mind if I have one?
No, not at all.
So, um...
let's go through and introduce ourselves.
Any volunteers?
I'll go first. My name is Richard.
I'm your professor.
Go ahead.
Wow.
That was fucking wretched.
Jesus.
Okay.
Who's next?
How about you?
- Me? - Yeah, you, girl with the phone.
Who are you?
Why should we know you?
What do you want to do with your life?
Okay.
I'm Claire.
I'm from upstate New York.
Why you should know me?
I don't know. Yeah. I don't know.
I guess because my uncle is the president of the school.
Ew! Henry Wright is your uncle?
- Yes. - I can't stand the fuck.
I don't really like him either.
That's very good to hear.
I mean, he's so peach melba.
Just slimy and...
I've got an idea.
How about we put a little pause to this shit
and we go down to the bar,
and we can run over it there.
My biological father actually met my mothers
at a monthly compost meeting in Boston.
He's this social anthropologist over at a...
Okay.
Rose, go and grab two more pitchers for everybody, would you?
Why don't you just put them on your tab?
No, that's not the point.
See, I want you to go and get them.
And I want you go and get them now, please?
Can I get some hummus?
Yeah, get some hummus.
Thank you.
Let me give you all a piece of advice.
Steer very clear of anyone who has even the faintest,
slightest whip of intentional conception.
I was conceived intentionally.
Well, I needn't know your name.
By the WHY,
I hope your parents all told you...
that you fucking die at the end.
You're gonna die. You're gonna die.
You're gonna die.
One day, even our blessed little Rose will die.
So, what I'm wondering is,
why the fuck do we sort of float through this weird thing
called life without living?
You know, live.
Don't exist. Don't simply exist.
That's boring as fuck. Live.
You know. Stir some shit up. Fuck some shit up.
Fuck it right.
What I wanna focus on is enriching our lives.
And try to extract some sort of wisdom that we can carry with us.
You know, something other than mommy and daddy's baggage.
Ah, bless you, dear.
You know, I'd-I'd wink at you,
but I never learned how.
So I just thought you should know it.
Anybody want anything else?
- Yeah, could I get a whiskey? - Oh, that's fine.
She winked at me.
I got the hummus, so...
Christmas is saved.
My God.
Here we go.
May we forever remember
that in each and every moment,
we are composing the stories of our lives.
Let's aim to make it a meaningful read
or at least an interesting one, yeah?
All right. Cheers.
Cheers.
Now, if you will excuse me,
I intend to explore a smidgen of infidelity.
What the fuck?
All right, kids. Have fun.
- A' School is over! E. - I'm so sorry.
- Just fuck me. - Okay.

Uh, close out the tab when you're done.
- Yeah. - And what... what...
I'm sorry, what's your name again, sweetheart?
- Sarah. - Sarah.
Be sure and leave Sarah a healthy tip
because it turns out she's a very, very nice person.
I'll see you guys next week, yeah?
Oh, yeah, Rose. Let me get you out of the way first.
So be prepared.

He just picked up that waitress in less than a minute.

Jibbles, Jibbles, Jibbles, look.
Look, that's where Mommy's cheating.
What's it say?
"It works."
Let's go try to stop him
- from drinking so much. - Oh. Peter, come on.
He's having a good time.
Ah, Richard, you're looking rather sprite.
Oh, I just had unprotected sex.
Oh, with who?
Some very sweet girl from the Lion's Pub.
Hello, Donna.
Oh, that's disgusting. Why would he tell us that?
So how was your day, sweetheart?
Fine.
Good. Fine's fine.
- How's Taylor? - She's fine.
That's even finer.
Let us cheers to a fine day all round.
Hello.
Hmm, Veronica.
Sit down.
Thank you.
You're so welcome.
Now, let's give this another shot, shall we?
Olivia, your mother would like to apologize.
Yes, I would like to apologize...
For my behavior the other night.
I don't know why my reaction was so, um...
I don't know.
Right wing?
Yes.
I'm really sorry.
Beautiful.
Olivia, do you accept your mother's apology?
Sure.
Well, good.
The matter's settled.
Bon appetit.
So Ishmael claims that a journey around the world
just brings you back to where you were before you started,
but this is actually coming from a man, who's lost everything
that's been his entire reality and consciousness
for the past few years...
- Do I look like I'm getting some color? - I don't know. Hard to tell from here.
It really feels like I'm getting some color.
Does anyone have any questions?
What? Oh, uh, yes. Um...
In a word?
Vengeance.
So you liked it?
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
And yet, there were no broad shouldered women lamenting,
and sobbing out of second story windows, was there?
- No. - Good.
That means we're breaking down that co-op personality of yours.
I think we're probably gonna get a bit of an edge out of you
before the end of the quarter.
Excuse me?
You get an "A" minus.
That's not a bad thing.
Just give me one second, kids.
I'm gonna have to take one more look
at this artistic still born.
Look at it.
Jesus Christ, it's a boner.
That is a gigantic boner.
- Hi, honey. - Isn't that your wife's work?
Yeah, it is. It is.
It doesn't mean I don't have an opinion on the matter.
Who is it?
Uh, it's Danny Albright.
Come on in.
Nice music.
Thought you'd be listening something different.
Really, like what exactly?
I don't know. Uh, Buddy Holly?
Jesus, uh... how old do you think I am?
Maybe around 60.
That's fucking depressing.
- I'm sorry. I... - No. No. No.
You spoke your mind, it's all right.
Come on in.
Well, I brought you some pot.
- No. - Yeah.
I made you some brownies.
Wow. That's very kind of you.
- How, uh, how much do I owe you? - It's on the house.
If you want more, we can talk prices later.
Fuck me. Thank you very much.
- You're welcome. - Thank you.
Mm-hmm. Mmm .
You mind if I ask you something personal?
No, go ahead.
Have you ever been with a man?
No. Nope. Nope. Nope.
No, I can't say that I have.
Would you like to fuck me?
Like...
- In your ass? - Yeah.
- Is it... is it clean? - Yeah.
I mean it should be.
But no.
I mean, I can always give you blowjob, too.
A' Oh, yeah a' - Okay.
Pour me another one of those and make it very generous because I'm...
Of course.
Really not sure how much of this I'm gonna want to remember.

So, like, there's no... I mean, couldn't...
We don't even have to kiss, right?
- There's no kissing. - No. Wow.
Is it like 'cause we're boys?
- Yeah. - Oh, okay.
And so we're gathered to dedicate
the work by of one of the finest contemporary artists of today,
and someone that I am honored to call a dear friend,
Mrs. Veronica Sinclair Brown.
- Well done. - It's blatantly foul.
- Beautiful. - It's, uh, wonderful.
- Oh, that's great. - May I ask what is it?
It's a giant schmeckle.
- Oh. - There you go.
- Excellent. Well done. - Hear, hear.
- Beautiful. - This is lovely.
- We appreciate it so much. - We're lucky to have you.
Would you excuse me?
- What do you think? - Oh.
Um, mom says I'm not allowed to go to state schools.
Your morn is not allowed to say you're not allowed.
It's probably best if you don't.
- Don't listen to him. Listen to me. - Splendid work.
- Truly. Yeah. - Thank you, Peter.
What did you think, Olive?
The... it was... Yeah, it was good.
It's all right, yeah.
So shall we have a celebratory drink?
I'd love to, but Henry has me going out to dinner with the benefactors.
It's some old money from Connecticut.
- Oh. - I'll see you two at home.
Bye, sweetie. Thanks, Peter.
Are you sure you don't want a little splash of vodka or a brownie?
Why are you and morn still together?
Yeah.
That's a rather odd question.
No, it's not.
Well, I guess you're right, we... um...
I think as you get older...
you, urn...
find yourself needing someone
to hold accountable for life
not turning out exactly as you'd imagined it.
- Jesus, Dad. - I know.
But listen to me,
not every relationship has to be that.
I mean, having said that, most are.
Okay.
On that happy note...
How's it going with Taylor?
It's going really well.
Yeah? Good, that's good.
That's very good.
Are you in love?
Yeah. I am.
Wow. No shit.
Yeah, well, I'm happy for you, sweetheart.
I'm so happy. I'm so happy for you.
Thanks.
You make sure she understands your worth.
- I know. She does. - She better.
She damn well better.
Your daughter is in love.
- Did you tell her to be careful? - No.
Told her to enjoy herself.
To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation.
Uh, and so, uh, he begins listening to the desert,
and, uh discovering the soul of the world,
which then inevitably, uh, leads us to...
All right, stop.
You get a.
- But I'm not finished. - Take a seat.
- I thought it was great. - Let me ask you a question.
Are you guys getting anything out of this shit?
- Yeah. - Good.
Because I have to say I am as well.
I mean, you're all rather a solid group of young adults,
- and I enjoy your company. - Yeah.
Yeah, uh, I'd say we're all pretty mature.
Well, maturity is really just another word for...
how much misery you'd swallow.
Yeah, totally.
I'm talking about the piss and shit of others, Rose,
not your own.
Do you mind if I smoke a joint?
Mm-mm.
- Urn... - Thanks.
I'm more than happy to help pick up his classes
if that helps at all.
You got to be kidding me.
Is he smoking a marijuana cigarette?
Uh, look, um, maybe he's just trying to be...
Fucking unbelievable.
Oh, Richard.
Why are you wearing sunglasses?
I have cancer.
I'm supposed to wear sunglasses
- in unusual places. - Yeah.
Excuse me, can we have two more please?
Uh, no.
The check please.
Why?
Look.
You're coming with me.
I don't wanna go with you.
Peter, where are we going?
I'm taking you to a support group.
A support group for what?
- Cancer. - Oh, Jesus.
Want me to help you with your sabbatical,
then do this for me.
This is not easy for me. It's actually... it's quite hard.
I... I understand that, but, you know, it's my death.
Yeah.
What... What the fuck is this?
Well, it's... it's Barbara's.
Ew. I'm not getting in.
Shut up, and get in the damn car.
It actually drives quite nice.
Door.
- Here you go. - Well done.
After 20 years of marriage, I thought she'd, you know,
just stick around until I died.
At least I hoped she would.
But I guess it was really no point,
you know, I guess it makes more sense for her to move on now.
But despite all that, I'm-I'm...
I'm feeling pretty good.
I'm doing okay.
Uh-hmm.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the journey of your battle, Ed.
- Uh-hmm. - All right.
Whenever you're ready.
Uh, my name is Peter. I'm healthy.
I... I don't have cancer.
At least I don't think I do.
Um...
My friend Richard does.
And I thought that he should come here and talk about it.
I'm...
scared.
I'm worried.
I don't wanna lose my best friend.
Oh.
That is really very lovely of you, Peter.
Thank you for sharing the journey of your...
battle.
All right, Richard.
Whenever you're ready.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm not doing this. No, no.
- Come on. - I have nothing to say.
- It's good for you. - Uh, well, um...
Why don't you start with your diagnosis?
- Mm-hm. - Uh, I'd rather not.
I'd actually prefer to leave this place because the lighting is poor down here,
and it smells like urinal cakes and sugar cookies.
Uh, well, you find that if you...
If you start with your diagnosis...
I think that you're gonna find that I already know
that I disagree with whatever you're about to say.
Peter, let's go.
You gave it an honest shot.
Would anyone else like to go and grab a drink,
and escape this emotional circle jerk?
What about you?
You might need a drink or two.
- Richard, I... I've got cancer. - So do I.
Well, best of luck with your impending deaths.
- Yeah, you, too. - Thank you.
Oh, Richard, you got to stay. Uh, I wanna help you.
Peter, no.
I'd die here,
and my corpse is nothing more than a breeding ground for ticks.
Plus, this way,
I get to collect my salary until the bitter end.
Uh-huh.
Maybe even after,
depending on how quickly it takes them to find my, uh... body.
Oh.
I have to leave for, uh...
for Olivia's sake.
No.
Oh, no, no, come on. Listen.
- Uh, yeah. - All right. I'm gonna...
- I am so sorry. - I know.
My friend.
Oh, Richard.
- Listen to me. - Yeah.
I think it's time to call a cab.
- No. I don't... - Yeah.
Peter, you know they're talking about us.
Hi.
Hello, Professor Brown.
- Hey, Claire. - What are you doing here?
- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
This is Claire, uh... This is Claire and this is Peter.
- Hi. - Nice to see you.
She's, in fact, the niece of Henry Wright.
Henry, Henry? Oh, how wonderful.
That's great, good to meet you.
You don't have to say that shit because she despises him
- as much as we do. - Don't say things like that.
He's all right, Henry Wright.
He's perfectly right.
I'll have another three please.
- No, I don't want go. - No, no, you're...
- I'm having fun. - You're behaving like a troll.
We got to go.
Has anyone ever told you that you're beautiful?
Thank you, Peter.
Good boy.
Okay. That's it. Okay. Get in the car. Just get...
Ow!
Hey, can I, uh, buy you a nightcap?
Nightcap?
Hmm. Barbara's gonna kill me.
Would you be disappointed if I say no?
- Was it a Mini Cooper? - Yes.
- Good night, Peter. - Night.
- Richard? - Yeah.
Love you.
I'd like to say how much I admire your bravery.
Bravery for what?
For being who you are.
And doing so unflinchingly.
That's not bravery, that's apathy.
No, it's not.
I'm gonna go put on some music.
Are you all right?

You know, because I'm gonna die.
I mean, I'm-I'm really gonna die.
- I'm sorry, Richard. - Oh.
Do me a favor, please keep that between us, yeah?
Okay.

Everything's fine, I'm all right.
I didn't die. I'm good.
Well, who's that?
That's Santiago.
Who's Santiago?
He's my gardener.
What's your gardener doing here?
He's my emergency contact.
Christ, Richard.
Um, can we have a word in private please?
No, that's fine, he doesn't speak any English.
Watch this.
Santiago, what day is it?
See?
Pancakes.
Yes, Lauren Bacall.
Talk. What do you want to say? It's fine.
Richard, you've got to clean up your act.
Yeah. I fucked up. I'll slow down the candy.
And I'll go green for a bit, okay?
- Smoking grass? - Marijuana, yeah.
Oh, and where are you getting it?
Student of mine. His name's Danny.
Really good kid, very, very, very smart kid.
Look, I don't want you
dying over something as infantile as an overdose, okay?
- I'm gonna get allowed. - Oh.
Oh, you'll catch something in the hospital.
Oh.
Oh, okay. Well, I'll-I'll see you back on, uh, on the campus.
Yeah.
I'll see you back on campus.
Yeah, you said, just go, Pete. Thanks for coming by.
Yeah, you're looking good, you're looking good.
Do I look sick to you?
You're in a hospital bed, Richard.
You want to say where you were last night?
Not really.
We had a deal for Olivia.
I know.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
It's just my back.
Richard?
Yes?
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear you answer.
Uh, it's Carol, Henry's secretary.
Uh, Richard, Henry would like to have a word with you.
- Vvhen? - Now.
Tell him I'm busy.
He says the matter is rather urgent.
Tell him I'm urgently busy.
Richard.
Yes?
He's ready to see you now.
Tell me, Richard, do you like fish?
No.
I mean to eat sometimes, but outside of that, no. No, I don't.
I believe men could learn a lot from fish.
That's the most asinine thing I've ever heard.
Why don't we just cut to the chase?
All right.
We need to talk about certain allegations
that have come to my attention.
Some of which are serious.
Don't even start.
Excuse me?
I know you heard what I said.
You're simply saying that for effect. Do you want me to repeat myself?
I won't.
I am chancellor of this university.
I couldn't give a fucking rat's balls
who the fuck you are.
I have tenure, and furthermore,
you're in no position of power when it comes to the two of us.
You're cheating on your wife, Henry.
You're having an affair, and not just any affair,
but one with a wife of a devoted faculty member.
Specifically... mine.
Not only that,
but you've allocated funds
from a dwindling budget
for granite erections that you just littered
throughout this entire campus.
And oddly enough, they come from the woman
that you're bird dogging on the side.
Can you remind me
how much does one of Veronica's works go for?
Chancellor, I have mounted you like a running stag,
and I am pumping away at you,
like a savage,
and you know it.
Now...
I'm gonna take it that my request for sabbatical
has been accepted.
Don't look so enthusiastic.
Why would I?
Well, for one, it's gonna be catered.
All Barbara ever talks about is how well traveled she is.
Well, what else would she talk about?
Thank you, dear.
The air...
in Ibiza...
There's really nothing like it.
I'm getting mistyjust thinking about it.
Peter, put our agent in touch with them, all right?
Yes, of course. Yes, I'd be happy to.
Richard?
Richard, what's the matter?
Uh, darling, let him be.
Anyway, as I was saying,
- Ibiza... - Are you all right?
- You won't regret it. - I'm more than all right.
- You can't. - I'm perfect.
I mean, unless you're mad.
Am I right or what, Peter?
Oh, you're right, darling, you're right.
Does anybody else have bones in the fish?
We have something to celebrate.
What's that? You got cancer, too?
No. I do not. Why do you keep saying that?
Uh, my... throat is rather sore.
- Uh-oh, something in your throat? - I think I should get it screened.
- Maybe. - Yeah. Yeah.
- Morocco. - Yeah.
Uh, Richard, uh, no, no, no.
That'll only encourage her.
We've noticed that it's allowed us
every time we've been
to discover something new...
You, my friend, have been awarded a sabbatical.
Thank you.
Henry Wright signed the paperwork only last week.
- Excuse me. - See, I told you.
What are you two doing?
Uh, we're discussing work.
- That's all. - Peter, it's my birthday.
Save it for another time and come mingle.
All right.
And don't close these doors.
No, darling.
Anyway, Peter was petrified...
Why the hell did we ever get married?
You Okay?
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine, babe.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Yeah. I'm gonna be fine.
The person one loves at first
is not the person one loves at last.
Love is not an end.
It's a process through which one person attempts to know another.
That's it.
And in a word?
In two words, deceptively simple.
Beautifully, beautifully executed.
And it's a really nice way to end the class with a little...
Kick in the ass.
So you get an.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
And I suppose the rest of you are waiting
for me to vomit out some profound words of wisdom.
Yeah, kind of.
Oh, thought you'd never ask.
Come here, give me a hand.
Thanks.
Listen...
The world needs people like you.
The world is literally dying for your kind.
Embrace that responsibility, and you run with it.
Get out there, earn your keep. Give back.
It's not gonna be easy.
Never gonna be easy.
For much of it, you'll stand alone,
but you've got to stand strong.
You know, I beg you
to not give into mediocrity,
like the other 98 percent of the world.
Because you would be doing yourselves
and the world a great disservice.
You're all too smart.
You're too smart to let it go to waste.
And you've got one shot at this.
One fucking shot.
Don't let a moment of it slip by.
Grab it, snatch it up, make it yours.
Celebrate every moment.
Celebrate every fucking breath.
I'm telling you, life... it's a birdsong.
Was that it?
Yeah, I think... I think so, yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
Richard? Richard.
Oh, oh, Richard.
Oh, no, no, no. Richard, are you all right?
Christ.
- Angels. - What?
I hear the angels, Peter. They're singing.
No, that's the... That's the acapella group, Richard.
Here.
Why? Why do we have an acapella group?
We've always had an acapella group.
Well, fuck them.
Can you take me to the bells?
- What? - I wanna see the bells.
- The bells? - Yeah.
All right. All right. Come.
I'll get you some water first.
Peter.
There are a lot of other good places to sit...
in here.
Hmm, yes.
Of course.
Yeah.
Can you feel anything?
No.
But I enjoy the lighting.
\ figs'?
But that's all right.
Please, mother of God, help my friend...
Afraid it's starting to kick in.
Does it hurt?
Oh, fuck, yeah.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I'll manage.
It's fine, Peter. We knew this was coming.
Yeah.
I mean, I look back on everything,
and it all somehow makes so much sense.
It's as though it couldn't be any other way.
Why's our soul broken?
Absurd.
Yet...
It's perfect.
And it's all so perfect when you look at it.
- You know what I mean? - Yeah.
It's gonna be hard to leave this place.
It's gonna be hard to say goodbye.
Richard, I'm gonna miss you.
I'm gonna miss you too, Peter. If I'm able.
Fuck, I'm going to cry.
- No. - Dear God.
Please.
Please don't do this. No, no, shh.
- Dammit. - No, no, no. Listen.
I really prefer if you didn't cry.
Listen to me. We tried.
- Yes. Yes. - Now let's go. Come on.
Come on.
Okay.
- I'm sorry. - Come on.
It's all right.
Come on, Peter.
Oh.
You're a good man, Richard.
So are you, my friend.
Thank you for being so good to me.
I'm trying, Richard. I'm trying.
Isn't it strange how natural this feels?
- Yeah. - Two men
holding one another passionately in a church.
Groping one another freely.
Yeah.
- Come on you, pervert. - Oh, you're stupid.
Hey.
Bye.
You're going out tonight?
Yeah.
Okay.
You have fun, okay?
Yeah, you, too.
I'm not sure that's possible,
but I'm promising you that we will try.
Go get 'em, kid.
Bye, Dad.
Thank you so much for coming, really.
Oh, oh, you get just lovelier every year.
Veronica, Richard. Our guest of honor. So nice you could make it.
- Oh, we wouldn't miss it for the world. - How do you do? Hi, I'm Richard.
Oh, okay.
That's a hell of a greeting.
I'm going to the bar.
- Hi. - Hi.
Peter and I have decided to stay in this year,
and spend Christmas in Miami.
Oh, how fashionable.
Donna, you weren't at my birthday party. Why?
I've been so wanting to tell you
- that I mixed up the date. - Oh.
Excuse me everyone, if I could have your attention.
Dinner is to be served shortly,
so if you would be so kind
as to begin migrating to the dining room,
that would be much appreciated.
Veronica. You'll be right here next to me.
Richard.
Uh, no, no, no. Tight quarters, I'm afraid.
He'll be somewhere in the back.
Hello, everyone.
Um, sorry, why isn't Richard sitting at this table?
I can assure you that there has been a great deal of thought
that's gone into the seating arrangements.
What?
Dead, gone.
Oh, that's horrible. What was it?
Oh, melanoma, I'm afraid.
Oh. Oh, welcome, young man.
And the families?
Honestly?
- You don't wanna know. - Oh, really?
While everyone's being served,
I just want to say a couple words.
On behalf of both myself
and my lovely wife, welcome.
It's an honor to have each
and every one of you here tonight.
Now, I know I'm not alone
when I say that this quarter
- may have been our very best. - Mm.
And the opportunity to serve as your president and chancellor
has been nothing short of humbling.
So thank you.
I can only hope
to live up to the high standards that you have set.
- You will. - Cheers.
Now let us eat for the night is young.
- Oh, that was a lovely speech. - Beautiful.
Did you actually buy that shit, really?
Excuse me?
Are you in the communications department?
I have something that I would like to say.
Could you stop playing that
before I heave this knife in your direction?
Thank you.
Young lady with the wine, would you mind
just standing right by my side and never leave?
Because I have much to say
- and many to toast. - Oh, my God.
Those of you who do not know, my name is Richard Brown.
Professor of English.
Oh, uh, cheers to me.
Cheers.
- Cheers. - To Richard.
Henry Wright, on behalf of every one of us here,
let me, please, express our gratitude
- for this finely forced evening. - I'm sorry.
The commitment that you have shown to the students,
faculty...
even the wives of the faculty...
is very, very impressive.
You've outdone yourself.
And it shows.
As far as I'm concerned,
three balls
- deserves three cheers. - No.
All right, Richard, I think that's enough.
Henry, do not interrupt me while I'm talking.
Particularly in front of so many people.
- Do you understand? - No, I don't understand.
- Yeah. - Nobody has three testicles.
To Peter Matthew.
- Oh. - Oh.
Got a shout out.
Your heart is truly one of gold.
- It is. - And this college
- is very lucky to have you. - Hmm, that's true.
Of course, thank you for your hard work.
But most important,
thank you for being a true friend.
- Oh, to Peter, cheers. - Cheers.
To Peter.
Also there are some parting words that I feel like I owe.
Because this will be the last time
that I ever see any of you.
For not only have I been awarded a sabbatical, um...
This is strange, Peter.
I'm gonna die.
Yeah.
I'm gonna die.
And I'm gonna die much sooner than I had imagined.
Oh, my goodness.
I know, dear.
- What is he talking about? - Shh.
So in preparing for what lies ahead,
I've come to realize that for much of my life,
I've been mistaken
and I failed.
I failed not only to comprehend my mortality,
but I've failed to appreciate it.
And as a result...
I've failed to make the most of my life.
Veronica, you're one hell of a sport.
You are a very worthy adversary.
Proud...
to have been able to call you my wife.
Because life without you would've been, uh, far less rich.
And for that I thank you.
For whatever it's worth...
I love you.
Deeply-
I know.
We've turned our backs on the most important duty
that we possess:
To live a life that is rich in experience.
That's of our own independent choosing.
Seize your fucking existence, folks.
Why don't we make death our closest fucking companion,
so that we can finally have a second,
a millisecond, to appreciate that little bit of time that we have left.
And most important of all,
let us live well, so that we may fucking die well.
Because we've never been so close to death
than this very moment.
Cheers.
Dammit, Richard. Those are crystal.
I'm so sorry that you had to find out like that,
and I just didn't...
I mean, I honestly didn't know how to tell you.
I was scared.
What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna leave, sweetheart.
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.
Please, try and find some happiness.
I'm working on it.
I know you will.
Goodbye, Richard.
Goodbye, Veronica.
Bye.
Olivia?
What are you doing home, baby?
Taylor broke up with me.
- What? - She cheated on me
with Nathan Runnings.
Professor Runnings' kid?
Mm-hm.
Listen. Hey.
Come on, babe. Come here.
Come here.
Don't worry, sweetheart. You're gonna be fine.
The world's full of women looking for someone to love.
There's gonna be somebody who deserves you.
- What will you have? - I don't care.
Well, when a man loses a woman,
it's, uh, typically whiskey he drinks.
So...
I'm kind of assuming that, um...
a lesbian would do the same.
Here's to your future.
To your bright, bright future.
To Taylor rotting in hell.
And yes,
to Taylor rotting in hell.
Cheers.
I'm so proud of you.
Why?
Because you possess everything
that a father could ever want in a daughter and more.
So much more.
Dad.
Yeah, baby?
Are you okay?
I'm sick, Olivia.
I'm sick.
Are you gonna be okay?
No.
It's all right.
You're gonna be all right.
Do you hear me?
You're gonna be great.
Um...
I'm gonna need to go away for a little bit.
Where are you going?
I don't really know.
I just got some things I got to figure out.
Um...
Hey, I love you so much, my girl.
I love you, too.
You stay on this path of yours.
You hear me?
You stay on this path that's yours.
You're doing it right, kid.
I'm gonna miss you so much.
I love you.
Jibbles, let's hit the road.
Here, Jibbles.
Good boy.
You make sure your mom takes good care of you, huh?
I can take care of myself.
I have no doubt about that, kid.
I'm sorry, Jibbles.
