:17:01
Just tell me practical things,
like what to do with his body.
:17:04
What do I do when he dies?
What happens then?
:17:08
That's what Hospice
can take care of for you.
:17:09
They'll send over a nurse...
:17:11
No. He has Phil now.
:17:14
Phil's one of the nurses
from the service?
:17:17
If you're happy with Phil
taking care of him, fine...
:17:20
but contact Hospice
to arrange for the body.
:17:22
You don't understand.
:17:24
There's more pain, and the
fucking pills aren't working.
:17:29
The past two days,
he can't really swallow...
:17:32
and I don't know
if the pills are going down.
:17:36
I can't see inside
his mouth anymore.
:17:38
I'm up all night
staring at him...
:17:40
and I don't know
if the pills are going down.
:17:41
He moans and he hurts.
:17:43
We can fix that,
because I can give you...
:17:46
Are you listening?
:17:48
I'm listening.
I'm getting better.
:17:50
Do you want to sit down?
:17:51
I need to sit down.
:17:57
Linda,
Earl's not going to make it.
:18:00
He's dying. He is.
Very, very rapidly.
:18:03
The thing here is
to make this experience...
:18:07
as painless and easy
for him as possible.
:18:10
You understand?
:18:12
Hospice will take care of
all the technical things.
:18:16
They will help you
and take care of the body.
:18:20
They are who you call
when he dies.
:18:23
There's the number of Hospice.
:18:27
Now, as far as
the morphine pills go...
:18:31
there's something else
to consider.
:18:33
There's a very potent solution
of liquid morphine.
:18:38
And it's a little bottle,
has an eyedropper.
:18:41
Very easy to get into his mouth
and drop on his tongue...
:18:44
and it will certainly diminish
the pain that he's in.
:18:49
But you need to realize
that once you give it to him...
:18:53
there really is no going back.
:18:55
It will
certainly cure his pain...
:18:58
but he will drift
in and out of consciousness...
