HANGING BY A MOMENT...

MARY

Is he going to be alright?

FRANK

(not encouraging)

His heart's beating.

=============================================

FRANK

He's dead, Rose. Your father passed.

ROSE/MARY

How can that be? He was getting better.

FRANK

He coded. They shocked him one too

many times. I'm sorry.

ROSE/MARY

He was tough. You did all you could.

FRANK

I'm sorry.

ROSE/MARY

========================================

You have to keep the body going until

the brain and heart recover enough

to go on their own.

Frank

nods.

=============================================

Desperate for changing

Starving for truth

Closer where i Started

Chasing after you

forgetting all i'm lacking

completely incomplete

i'll take your invitation

you take all of me

i'm living for the only thing i know

i'm running and not quite sure where to go

i don't know what i'm diving into

just hanging by a moment here with you

============================================

FRANK

In the last year I had come to believe

in such things as spirits leaving

the body and not wanting to be put

back, spirits angry at the awkward

places death had left them. I

understood how crazy it was to think

this way, but I was convinced if I

turned around, I'd see Old Man Burke

standing at the window, watching,

waiting for us to finish.
