C.
: Am I dying? Hello, father.
For the moment, we could pretend that I am, And you could at least give me a kiss hello.

[ sighs .]
I missed you at the hospital.
I apologize for that.
I called.

That's funny.
You have my sense of humor.
I'm glad.
Especially in these crappy economic times.
I may have to sell one of the classic benzes.
[ sighs .]
you know what? Maybe this is not The best time.
For what, Lily? I want to open my own vintage store.
I love old clothes, And I think I'd be really good at it.
I've never really wanted to do anything in my life, So this comes as a pretty big surprise to me.
I don't think my overhead would be very much Because the clothes are old, and I can just find them myself.
I think it's a great idea.
You do? Well, not the vintage-clothing part.
Nasty old, rotten fabric.
Everybody smelling like grandma's closet.
Dead should stay dead, in my book.
But you have an idea.
Feels like you're my daughter.
I am your daughter.

UhBeer.
'cause I stood on that empty stoop alone I said, "I'm ready for my close-up now, Mr.
