You Don't Know Jack Page #4
But she has the right.
As a patient,
It's her choice.
I refuse to die
a slow death.
Margo:
Come on, jack.You know how things are gonna be perceived.
- I don't care.
- The media's gonna all over it.
- I know. - You're gonna
have to tell her yes.
- I know.
- You have to be strategic.
Margo, what do we
care about the media?
Who cares?
Look.
Sometimes in life
There are strategies
that you have to take,
Because we have to be very
careful about our purpose.
- Our purpose is important.
- Well, what about her?!
Who cares
what people think?
It's what
my patient feels.
She doesn't know each day
what she's gonna find
When she looks
in the mirror.
She doesn't know if she's gonna
This is her terror.
This is what she goes through,
day in and day out.
The terror of being...
Lost.
- Jack.
- She's running out of time.
I understand that.
Look at me.
If it was me,
if I was her,
If I was in the same
situation, would you do it?
- You, margo?
- Yes, me, margo.
- Would you do it for me?
- Of course I'd do it. Yes
- You would do it?
You know that? - Sure.
If I saw the same look of
determination in your eyes
As I saw in hers,
of course I'd do it.
My own sister--
in truth, I'd do it.
- You'd do it?
- Mm-hmm.
That's your answer.
Yeah, I know.
I just wanted to work
this through, you know?
Just go through
the variables.
- Mrs. Adkins:
"who am I?" - jack on tv:
And you're aware of your decision?- Mrs. Adkins:
Yes.- Let 'em come after me.
Let 'em come after
a real physician.
Mrs. Adkins:
...The end of my life.
us some tea right now.
Make it strong,
will you?
- Margo:
Yeah. - Jack on tv: ...The word for "the end of life."
- Death.
- Margo:
By the way...Jack on tv:
Thisis what you wish?
- Yes. Yes, I do. - ...
Where are we gonna do this?
brew up poisonous potions
Like witches
from gallows hill.
Others think it's "take
two hemlock pills
And meet your maker
in the morning."
Well, surprise surprise--
There's no such thing
as a hemlock pill.
We offer assistance
And advanced directives,
D.N.R.
S-- "do not resuscitate"--
Wills, hospice care,
But we do not
dispense drugs,
We do not pull plugs.
We started this chapter
because we believe
That to each person, their
own way of death...
With dignity.
Jack:
Oh, miss good,
I can carry
that for you.
That would've been nice, dr.
Kevorkian,
But it's a little late
now, don't you think?
And it's "missus.
"
- Missus?
- Yup.
Oh.
Good.
So-- so you know
who I am?
What do I look like,
June cleaver?
What can
I do for you?
