Is your mother around?
We had the nine-day memorial service, yesterday.
Yes, I know.
You came, my child... A mother is not supposed to lose her son.
You're right, dear.
You're right.
May you be well now so I can see you an take pride in you.
As my son would see you.
Here is the key.
It is yours anyway.
My son did not have much.
(cicadas buzzing) (happy music) (gentle music) (flipping) (gentle lauhing) In paradise, I've marked out an island same as you, and a house by the sea with a large bed and a small door.
From 'The Monogram' (sobbing) No!
(crying) (cicadas buzzing) (brushing) (crickets chirping) (footsteps clapping) Mrs. Athena, may I bring you something to eat?
No honey, but thank you- I am not hungry.
Okay... Not even some watermelon?
It is chilled!
If it is chilled, then bring me some.
Sure.
Thank you.
(crickets chirping) (cicadas buzzing) That's it.
We're done.
These two boxes are for his sons.
Things of his that I believe...
I believe they'd want to keep them.
I'll come pick up the plants next week.
Tonight...
I'll come give the keys to your mother, and say goodbye.
I'll stop by on my way to the port.
See you later.
Bye, George.
