Don't say anything yet, but I think that

Gregory is gonna ask me to marry him.

Listen, Trudy

I have got to stop procrastinating.

I'm on my way over to the

hospital to say goodbye to him.

- Well, be sure to tell him

that I said good riddance.

- A city slicker came in

yesterday offered to pay me cash.

- Not that you would've sold it to him.

- Oh, make no mistake, Lonnie

I am available to the highest bidder.

- Margot, in a couple of days

I'm gonna be out bidding

every one of them.

- And as of now you still

have all my affections.

Are you ready for your surprise?

- Here, now

in broad daylight?

- It's a print, Lonnie

a print.

- No.

You didn't.

- Oh, I did.

Lonnie Schumacher, may I present you with

an original and signed Patrick Van Spencer

commemorating one of the

greatest musicals of all time.

- I've never seen anything like this.

It's breathtaking.

The minimalism is innovating,

inspiring, and thought provoking.

- Well, the artist is clearly a genius.

- Clearly.

But what musical was it from?

- What kind of dolt are you?

Grease.

- Oh, right, Grease.

Margot, I don't know what to say.

I owe you so much.

- Yes, you certainly do,

and I'm getting tired of waiting.

Who knows

It's only just out of reach

Down the block on the beach under a tree

I got a feeling there's a miracle due

Gonna come true coming to me

Could it be, yes, it could

Something's coming something good

- Well, you're looking

rather refreshed, mother.

- Thank you.

You're looking particularly vibrant too.

Looks like it was good for both of us to

get out of here for a little while.

- What are you wearing?

- Milan something or other I don't know.

I saw it in a magazine.

- How much did it cost?

- Oh, no, nothing yet.

It's sort of like cloying,

like gardenias in a funeral home.

Let's not order any gardenias

when the time comes.

- Good point.

We'll, get something cheaper

or just skip flowers all together.

It's the way dad would've wanted it.

- You're not going to believe

what I'm about to tell you.

- Go ahead you can tell us

because we prepared for this moment.

- But that's what I'm trying to tell you.

His tumor was growing at a rate of

over a centimeter a week.

This week that rate had even increased.

By my calculations today,

tomorrow at the very latest.

Well, as you know there

was no way to operate on it

not where that monster was located.

- We know, we know.

- And that's why we're so darn prepared.

- I don't think anybody

could be prepared for this.

- Trust us we're exceptional people.

- He's dead already isn't it, Dr. Rogers?

You can tell us.

- Quite the contrary, Mrs. Schumacher.

Your husband is going to
