"Così fa il destino: potrebbe filar via invisibile e invece brucia dietro di sè, quà e là, alcuni istanti, fra i mille di una vita. Nella notte del ricordo, ardono quelli, disegnando la via di fuga della sorte. Fuochi solitari, buoni per darsi una ragione, una qualsiasi."

I can't believe you came
Of course I came
It was three months from the day the doctor told him he had it till the day he died. Three months.
Stomach cancer's fast.
Gastric cancer's the technical term. It was everywhere. All up his alimentary canal. It was fun learning all the jargon.
I know what you mean. I never knew I had a medulla oblongata. Now I could draw it for you. Along with everything else in my head.
Do you have a scar?
Is that a rhetorical question?
Can I see it?
Sure
It's, um.... wow

Bren, it's ok, I'm ok
Yeah, I know. I'm at my father's funeral. I'm emotional........ You know this is the place where we were supposed to be married?
I know

Watching him die...
Yeah?
It was like watching somebody get washed out to sea, only they're sitting right there in bed. A wave comes, takes them a little away. Another wave comes, takes them a little away. Every wave is a day. Little by little, off they... Off they go.

Can I tell you something?
Sure
I don't wanna put you in a weird position
I'm already in a weird position, I've lived my whole life in a weird position
I've missed you, through this
I've missed you too. It's not like I don't know how much being with you changed me. How much you woke me up as a person. I wouldn't be who I am today if I'd never met you. I certainly wouldn't floss every day.
Are you keeping up with that?
After every meal
It changed me too.
Yeah, how so?
You're the first person I've lost where it really cost me something. That's why I haven't been with anyone since.
Nobody?
It's too scary. The thought of screwing it all up again.
You'll find somebody
That is so not the answer.... You know what I think?
About what?
I don't know, life.
What?
I think it's all about timing. I think timing is everything.
I think you might be right.
