The professor - last monologue
I'm gonna die.
Yeah... [laughs]
- I'm gonna die,
- [indistinct chatter]
and I'm gonna die much sooner
than I had imagined.
- [man gasps]
- [indistinct chatter]
Oh, my goodness.
I know, dear.
- What is he talking about?
- Shh.
So in preparing
for what lies ahead,
I've come to realize
that for much of my life,
I've been mistaken,
and I failed.
I failed, not only
to comprehend my mortality,
but I've failed
to appreciate it.
And as a result,
I've failed to make
the most of my life.
Veronica,
you're one hell of a sport.
You are a very worthy adversary.
Proud...
to have been able
to call you my wife.
Because life without you
would've been, uh,
far less rich.
And for that, I thank you.
For whatever it's worth...
I love you...
deeply.
I know.
We've turned our backs
on the most important duty
that we possess,
to live a life
that is rich in experience
that's of our own
independent choosing.
Seize your fucking existence,
folks.
Why don't we make death
our closest fucking companion,
so that we can finally
have a second,
a millisecond to appreciate
that little bit of time
that we have left.
And most important of all,
let us live well,
so that we may fucking die well,
because we've never been
so close to death
than this very moment.
