The Best of Me Page #4
Do you want to go,
yes or no?
N0.
You're a bad liar.
I like that.
I'd like to do this
again sometime.
I'd even shower and show up.
How about that?
- You promise?
- Yeah, I promise.
I wanted to do that, too.
Good to know.
I wouldn't mind doing
that again.
Then do it.
stipulated was for me to apologize
on his behalf for
any inconvenience.
He asked that I pass on
his gratitude
for your being here
and your friendship always.
His words.
He would like you
outside the cottage
of Vandemere.
There is to be no funeral,
no reception,
nor store-bought bouquets.
Not a dime is to be
spent on frivolities.
- Again...
- His words.
Thafs right.
He asks that you pack up his things
and he would like you to go through it,
and take whatever you want.
He left instructions that his assets
be liquidated and that the proceeds be
donated to the American
Pediatric Cancer Society.
The only asset not to be sold
is the cottage at Vandemere,
which he left to you both.
Now, typically, in situations
like this,
one party will buy the
other out,
unless you're interested
in joint ownership.
- We're not.
- No. No.
When he was in the hospital,
he wrote these. Mm-hm.
Excuse me. He would
like you to read them on your own.
Well, you still living
around here?
- Baton Rouge.
- Yeah?
- I see you gut married.
- 18 years.
Nice. You guys got kids?
- Two.
- Boys? Girls?
You know, we don't have to do this.
Ask the questions, tell our stories,
pretend to want to know
about each othefs lives.
Well, I do want to know.
We're not here for a reunion.
We're here for Tuck, so...
How about this? You go to the house
today and I'll come out tomorrow.
And we'll meet out at
Vandemere tomorrow afternoon.
We'll say our goodbyes.
- Does that work for you'?
- Yeah.
Bye.
L'm sorry.
You remember that thistle problem
I had in the garden last year.
Thistle is one tough weed.
You can't pull it or mow it.
You have to dig it out by the root.
While I was digging,
I got to thinking about you and Dawson.
You have wounds that
have never healed.
You've lived with them so long,
you don't even know they're there anymore.
Pain has deep roots.
The only way to dig it out is to
forgive him and forgive yourself.
- Don't you get bored out here?
- Completely.
When are you gonna let me
get my hands dirty?
You want
to get your hands dirty?
Absolutely.
What? This dirty'?
No. Dawson,
you're not gonna do...
'Cause I'm the grease monster
from the bayou!
Stop it!
Dawson! Don't!
You're gonna get rne all dirty,
you little punk!
