Place: Kathy's Apartment

Action: While Brody is playing with his siblings in a separate different room, Kathy and Elliot have a heart to heart conversation in the den.

Kathy: Please don't play around with me. What is the real reason for your visit?

Elliot (choked up): Recently, I have been coughing up blood. I have visited the doctor.

Kathy (greatly concerned): What is your prognosis?

Elliot (choked up): I have cancer. You are the first one that I have told.

Kathy (crying, she embraces Elliot): OH Elliot

Elliot: We shouldn't tell the kids

Kathy: Why not?!

Elliot: I don't want them to worry about me. Big or small, cancer will not defeat me.

Kathy: Elliot, you are Brody's last surviving parent. He deserves to know what is going on with you. Who will take care of him if you die?

Elliot: Brody loves you. It is my wish that you can look after him in my absence.
