Chris:I'm getting a divorce, k.d..
K.d.:Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

...and right now, I'm just--
I'm really pissed about it.
But you know what really gets me?
I didn't have plan B.

and you're still here.
Chris:You just know me so well, huh?
K.d.:No, no, no, no. I don't know you.

My husband is dying...
...of cancer.
Chris:Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry to hear that.
It's....
Chris,
have you ever watched someone dying?
I tell you, I mean,
watching him suffer just kills...
...a bit of me every day.
And the worst part is that I can't help
but remember all the plans we made.
You know, like we were supposed
to retire in St. Thomas. You know,
out there by the beach.
I love the water.
Get the coconut oil
and rub it all over my hair.
he is definiteIy....
I tell you, I just....
I just wish I couId have a piece of him
that I couId keep safe, you know?
Just something.
Something more
than a bunch of memories.
Anyway....
you look like you're out.
How about a...?
Chris:A refill?
K.d.:Yeah, okay.
K.d.:he'll take another
of whatever it is she got.
