• Mr. Schwartz : Hello. Were you in a car accident or something?

  David Isaac : No, I wasn't. I got into a fight.

  Mr. Schwartz : A fight?

  David Isaac : Got into a fight.

  Mr. Schwartz : You didn't do too good did you?

  David Isaac : Oh, yeah? You think this is bad? You should see what I did to the other guy.

  Mr. Schwartz : Yeah, right. Is he in the hospital too? Yeah, what's the difference? If it's any consolation to you, years ago I was going with this girl. I met her at Madison Square Garden. At a hockey game. Ab DeMarco hit a puck out of the rink right in our direction and I saw it was going to hit this girl next to me so I put my head in front of it - bam! I mean, I had a scar fourteen inches on the top of my head. And that's how I met my future wife. Anne was her name. She was beautiful. Lovely looking woman. Delicate.

  David Isaac : That's nice.

  Mr. Schwartz : And then she died in an automobile accident. Gone. Pffft. While I was in the service overseas. Terrible.

  David Isaac : I'm sorry. I'm very sorry to hear that.

  Mr. Schwartz : [choking back tears]  I'm a... ..would you, would you give me some of this stuff?

  David Isaac : [reaching for the oxygen mask]  Yeah

  Mr. Schwartz : Yeah, that's it. Good. Want a whiff?

  David Isaac : No, I'm OK. Do you remember her?

  Mr. Schwartz : Can never forget her. Your first love. It's what you keep looking for, the rest of your life. Some people are blessed. They can hold on. I wasn't. I had to let go.

  David Isaac : I'm, I'm thinking about letting go.

  Mr. Schwartz : Why? Why would you want to let go?

  David Isaac : Our families are not making it easy on us.

  Mr. Schwartz : Families, forget about families. You're young. You got a whole lifetime ahead of you. Now is the time for you to make a decision about your life. Hold on. Don't let go. I've a grandson, I'm trying to show him these things. He comes and visits me. He'll be here, here some time today.

  David Isaac : With age comes wisdom, right?

  Mr. Schwartz : When it comes to love, there are no wise men.

  Dr. Levi : [arriving]  Mr Schwartz, how are you feeling today?

  Mr. Schwartz : You're the doctor, you tell me!

  Dr. Levi : You're alright, I see. Now if you're a good boy, I'll have one of the nurses here take your temperature - the old-fashioned way!

  Dr. Levi : [Mr Schwartz chuckles]  David...... .

  Mr. Schwartz : David, do you love her? Does she love you?

  David Isaac : Yes, yes.

  Mr. Schwartz : Then make it work. Find some way to make it work. You got it?
