Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father Page #2
If I hear him say
"one more time" one more time,
Jesus Christ, Kurt.
What do you want?
No, no.
I'm just getting...
But despite it all,
Kurt, another winner!
Yes!
My God,
what are you trying to do?
Give our genius a heart attack?
None of that.
What, do we kiss now or... Oh!
He even invested
while he was working to save
for medical school.
Everything was perfect.
I don't know what happened.
We got bigger, and we got laid!
At his memorial service,
I talked with his med-school
friend Anthony, who told me...
One of the major things
that Andrew and I did together,
or that we had in common,
was photography.
I had no idea he took pictures,
and I'd known him for 22 years.
What else didn't I know?
to visit him at his hospital
and see what he was like
as a doctor.
to his wedding
where I would finally meet his
entire family at the reception.
anything I didn't already know
about him.
So I decided to make this movie,
to travel far and wide,
to interview everyone
who ever knew and loved him,
to learn everything
there was to know,
and to make one last movie
with him.
I had no idea
or how I would even know
when I was done.
But the longer I waited,
the more memories would be lost.
So I started at home
in California,
and, as soon as I could,
I grabbed a camera.
Okay, Andrew, ready?
- And said...
- Action!
How would I describe Andrew to
someone who had never met him?
The man never wore pants.
He only wore shorts.
That's right.
Constantly!
Well,
Andrew was very good at pool.
Quite frankly, he was
a pool shark, is what he was.
Well, he had a good teacher.
When we first met him, he had
this thing with his fingernails.
Oh, yeah, he'd always bite
his fingernails.
They looked like they'd been
through a shredder.
Too late.
He was probably the most
determined person I've ever met
about doing
a particular profession.
His mom worked in the business,
so...
We would sit and discuss
a topic like venereal disease.
He didn't get an offer
to come to medical school
at the end of the first year.
I remember
that was a big downer.
I think he felt like
he wasn't...
like things were
kind of stalled for him
and he wasn't really...
he wasn't living
up to expectations.
"Well, what are you gonna do?"
"Okay, I'll get a job,
and I'll apply again."
Okay.
That's problem, solution.
And then, of course, Heather
brought home this application
she had picked up from Memorial
University of Newfoundland.
