Film Transcript
Hi. So I have been researching some really great carpal tunnel surgeons in the area since you've cancelled appointments. What? Three times now? Look, Mila, half of me already doesn't work. I don't want to lose anymore. Well, if you did, technically you would be a quarter man. And then we would have something in common with George Washington. What? George, 'cause he's on the quarter.

Hey, honey. Want to see what your sister wrote?
I picked this because it made me think about my dad. Sometimes he feels bad about himself, but we love everything about him. Amor fati means love of one's fate. We can't always choose our circumstances, only how we react to them. And I love our circumstances. This is my fate. This is who we are.
So long. If you cherish moments that you're living, feeling lost and just fine. Feelings from when you're lost. When you long for everything that's missing, feelings of being found to feeling...
