NOTES One man follows another man to a bridge. The man gets

ready to jump off bridge. The other asks for his watch but the

man won't give it to me. Then the other one offers him some

pills which will make suicide less painful. They go to his

house and the man is given pills but they turn out to be vitamin tablets, though by this time he has gone to hospital.

It turns out the watch fancier is going to die in 3-4 weeks and

he wants to live out his fantasies. Both men buy some acid

from a guy in a wheelchair. And off they go in the man's car.

They're having a whale of a time but they've left us behind on

the pavement.

The dying man goes to visit his parents but this is the first

time in 6 years and his father won't let him. Later they go

back and have a family barbecue but it's all nostalgia.

They shop for an urn, they rob a bank. This is a road movie in

day trips where you keep coming back to where you started

from.

Anyway it comes to dying time and he asks his friend to help

the grim reaper move a bit faster. And finally we see his

ashes scattered from a cardboard box.
