That every life must end

Uh, huh

MICHEL:
Hell, yeah!

Hell, yeah!

Halleluiah!

MICHEL:
Yahoo!

Uh, huh

Oh, I'm a lucky man

To count on both hands

The ones I love

Some folks just have one

You know, I was torn.

A lot of people were saying

I shouldn't necessarily

go on this trip.

I should be seeking out ways

that I can get healed

or get some treatment.

In the end,

I think I decided that

the odds of me finding

some type of treatment

in the next six months

were too small.

It's gotten a lot harder

for me to do stuff.

The other thing that's really

frustrating for me

is the talking.

So it's getting harder

for me to talk.

I know I've said this

before on film,

but it's not gonna stop,

I guess.

It's probable

that it won't stop.

Hold me till I die

Meet you on the other side

Quite possibly one of the

coolest things I've ever done.

We've been, what,

around the world,

and in front of millions

of people,

but that plane flight

was amazing.

MICHEL:

Glacier landing

versus punt block.

I don't know, it's close.

MICHEL:

Want to tell the baby anything?

We had a destination in mind

when we came up here,

and I would say we are there.

Be present now, right?

Better late than never.

Better now than never.

Better now than never.

MAN 1:
Yeah. Yeah.

MAN 2:
Talking?

Sorry.

My favorite part is

to do things like this.

Hello. Hello.

Hey, how are you?

Oh, how are you now?

Well, things changed since

you're here to now.

Nothing has changed for me.

It's a couple seconds.

For you, though? Huh?

Things have changed.

Like, it's weird

that I'm potentially having

a conversation,

initiating a conversation,

with someone who I actually

might never talk to

in a real conversation.

Mm-hmm.

The baby will be born

in November.

So I'll talk to it, sure.

But let's say a real

conversation starts

at 4 years old.

Maybe I'm not having

conversations at that point.

It's f***ed up.

So then it's like,

well, if I was that person...

what would I want

to hear people say?

What would I want to hear

my dad say?

You know?

You just want him to be real.

Yeah, so that's why I'm like,

"Look this is just raw and...

unprepared--

I mean, the same sh*t

we want when our dads are alive.

We dislike what

so many parents do

is like, "I'm parent now.

"I'm not a person anymore.

"I'm not real.

Yeah.

"I don't have all the exact

same flaws as you.

...doing the exact same stupid

sh*t that you're doing."

The big thing that's happened

since I've been diagnosed

in January is that one thing

I want to accomplish

is to have all my

relationships in order

is the term I've been using.

In my teenage years,

my dad was very protective.
