Céline : Do you remember this friend of mine? George, from New York. Jesse : No. Céline : Oh, no, that was before. That was before. Jesse : What was? Céline : He was this friend of mine that, when he found out he had leukemia, and he was probably going to die, he confessed to me that the first thing that came to his mind was relief. Jesse : Relief? But why? Céline : Well, before he found out he had nine months to live he was always so worried about money, and now his thought was, great! I have more than enough money to live for the next nine months, I've made it! Jesse : [laughing] Oh, okay. Céline : And then he was finally able to enjoy everything about life, even like being stuck in traffic. He would just enjoy looking at people... staring at their faces. Just little things.
