Mm.
EMAMI
FRITZ
And without question, the most breathtaking scene is called ―The Good and the Damned.‖
EMAMI
Listen to me. We‘re going to figure this all out.
FRITZ
Just at the top, you see the souls being weighed at the gates of Heaven by St. Peter. And in the
middle you see a good soul sitting on God‘s lap. And on the right you see the bad souls being driven
into the stomach of the beast.
The Last Judgment.
EMAMI
FRITZ
We‘re all given a small window of time. God only knows. Obviously, what matters is what we do
with it.
EMAMI
I won‘t stand for it. Not for you. I‘ve seen patients add on ten years, twelve years. There‘s no telling
how far it can get you.
FRITZ grasps EMAMI by the arm, almost violently. He looks EMAMI straight in the eyes.
I won‘t.
FRITZ
They continue to stare at each other. EMAMI releases himself and backs away.
EMAMI
Alright, Mr. Kinzelman. Now‘s the time to get in contact with the people you love. And anyone with
whom you have unfinished business.
Pause
Didn‘t think you‘d give up so easy.
Are you toying with me
Me I‘m afraid you don‘t understand, frankly.
