Two Weeks Page #3

---

your mother is looking

very healthy.

Uh-huh.

So if you had

to pin it down?

Well, I'd say

very little time.

I see.

Could I check in with you

on another thing?

Sure.

What happens with

the leftover morphine?

Keith!

Oh, well,

after the dying process

is completed,

we'll dispose of

remaining narcotics

according to federal law.

If you have any other

important questions,

please don't

hesitate to call,

day or night.

Carol will be

over at 3:
00.

Thank you so much

for your help.

Thank you.

I call morphine.

Percodan!

Guys, I'm not

in the mood.

BARRY:
You're just pissed

'cause you didn't call it.

I bet if we'd flown

Mom to LA,

we could've gotten

a bigger star's nurse.

I don't know.

I think Gilda's

top of the A-list

for ovarian cancer.

I was thinking

all terminal illnesses.

Oh, I see.

Why don't you both

shut the f*** up?

I mean it.

Cousin Eve? It's Keith.

Aunt Wilma? It's Emily.

Yeah, it has been a while.

Emily!

Not that well, really.

That's why I'm calling.

I'm sorry,

you want what back?

When did she borrow it?

No, not long,

I'm afraid.

Well, that would depend

on what you meant

exactly by "long."

Not long.

I'm supposed to be

in Singapore next week.

Okay read that back to me.

I'm getting

phone finger here.

Would you mind, um,

calling the Scotts,

the Weidermans

and the Parkers?

I really don't know

what to say to these people.

Well...

Sorry.

Hello?

Oh, sure.

Yeah, yeah. Hold on.

Uh, it's for you.

Hello?

Hey, Dad.

Okay, so I set

the nutrient IV

up into the portacath.

I'm sorry, what's that?

The metal valve

I've had inserted

in my chest,

opens right into an artery,

chemo gets in quicker.

You don't leak, do you?

Haven't yet.

It's one-way.

The morphine dispenser

hooks into the same line.

So, if you're feeling

any pain,

just press the button.

You wanna try it?

It's on a timer, so you can

give yourself a dose

whenever you need it,

but you can't OD.

The box only allows

one dose every

10 minutes to start.

What if I need more?

I can increase the dosage

and the frequency

as you need it.

Yeah, Keith?

Do we each get one?

Sorry.

I thought you quit

that stuff after college.

I did.

A grip on my last shoot

gave me this.

We were talking about

dying relatives.

It's good to see

you're dealing with this

in an open,

straightforward way.

Just takes the edge off.

Dad called.

Did they talk?

Yeah, 20 minutes.

What about?

She wouldn't say.

KEITH:
Why did

you and Dad split up?

Hmm.

I don't know.

What were we talking about?

Nothing, Mom.

Why don't you rest?

Don't start with me.

What were we talking about?

The antique clocks.

The antique clocks.

All right.
