For mething like this, Mr.

You- You've really got

Don't be surprised if this
gets picked up nationally.
Is your turkey okay?
I don't like fat.
( knocks on door )
Selfish bastard.
You hog all the ink in
the detroit papers,
Now you're in "newsweek"
And there's
nothing about me.
- Oh.

Look at this.
Man.
"blunt and feisty, he's
To advocate

They're gonna have to
take me seriously now.

Jack:
So when wereyou first diagnosed
With alzheimer's, mrs.
Adkins?
Mrs. Adkins:
About ayear ago I think.
It was
three years ago now.
Oh.
And what did your doctor say
- When he told you?
- Well, it was like a bomb.
He said
she had alzheimer's
And it'd come to a point
Where she wouldn't
be able to...
( cries )
- There is-- - ...D
ress herself.
She wouldn't be able
to take a bath.

that this is my husband
And my children,
Or "who am I?

about that if you could.
What happened today,
for instance?
- What happened today? - You tell me.
I don't even know what happened today.
She went out
into the yard and then--
What I could see was
She stood there
in the yard
And I could see
from behind her
That she didn't know
where she was.
She didn't know
to turn around,
That was the bacdoor
of the hwuse.
She didn't know that that was the
gate to go out to the street.
She just-- she didn't
know what to do.
Jack:
Mm-hmm.
I don't remember.
Jack on tv:
When Italked to your doctor--
First of all, he would
hardly speak with me.
But when he did,
What your doctor was trying
to communicate to me
Was that you're not
imminently terminal.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, I--I-- I understand.
- And I understand-- - margo:
Should I make some tea for us?
- Jack?
- Thats frightening.
- Jack, do you want some tea?
- If I don't make this decision right now,
I'll never be able to.
Margo, I don't know
what we're doing.
Look at her.
Look at her.
She looks well to me.
She looks
quite capable, no?
She's not
the right one.
