I should go.

You came here for a reason.

Here.

Why?

You were open.

And no, I'm not lost,

in case you're wondering.

I'm just... I'm done with it.

I'm done.

Everything around me...

I see it.

And it's all the same.

Nothing.

And it's not that I don't give

a sh*t, or that I'm giving up.

It's just...

It's disappointing.

No...

Heartbreaking.

And there aren't enough

cat videos

or f***ing Ted talks on YouTube

to make up for that.

So when...

Faced with all the possible

things left to contemplate...

Death feels like one of the

last remaining ideas we have

to... to remind us of...

Of...

Life?

That light you have outside...

What? The one over the

front door of the church.

It was on when I happened

to walk by last week.

That's why I'm here.

What about a photo?

What?

For the funeral.

Sort of a template

for what it is you kind of

want to look like.

Now, that's not a bad idea.

Yeah.

You don't think that's

too stagey?

Well, the catholic church

has never shied away

from a little pageantry.

Yeah...

I've seen the crucifix.

That's not really what I

was referring... too soon?

That was kind of too soon.

You gotta wait till

at least 3,000 years.

But, I mean, come on.

They put makeup on Jesus.

No, they don't.

Yeah, they do.

When do they put makeup on

Jesus?

Have you looked at any of

the crucifixes

where he's got kind,

like, blush on

and some eyeliner?

- It's hot in the sun.

- Um, no.

They're making him look pretty.

He looks like a woman

in some of those.

Which is not all that weird

because, you know,

maybe... who knows?

"Hey-Soos" would be glad

that you figured it out.

That's how you say

his name in Spanish...

"He... he answereth and saith

unto them,

"'let him that hath two coats

impart to him that hath none.

And let him

that hath meat...'"

baby, do the same.

Luke 3:
11.

How do you like me now?

Father. Father.

No run today?

I guess I slept in.

- Is everything okay?

- Y-yeah, yeah.

No, yeah. Just tired.

Victor...

Surely you have a verse in there

about the evils of hitting

the snooze button.

Mm-hm. Are the late Fridays

a bit too much?

No, not at all.

I'll talk to the bishop.

No, I-i... you were right.

It's been... it's been really...

It's good. It's very good.

For me.

Daniel...

You know, we get to reach out

to different, uh...

So yeah.

Yeah.

Okay.

My problem is that he'll tell

his mother

every little detail about

our life

but with me, it's just

I think that he has a problem

with communication.

And that is what he really needs

to work on.

And he knows that already

because I tell him all the time,

but he just goes about his day

like he doesn't even hear me,
