1. Rabbi Skillman: "You want to know how I can be at peace when I know I'm going to die?" Max: "Yeah." Skillman: "Do you know the story of Abraham and Isaac?" Max: "No." Skillman: "Okay, so Abraham and Sarah have no children but when they're very old, God gives them a son, Isaac, and then God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. Kill him, and he'll reward him with as many children as there are stars in the sky and sand in the sea and Abraham, being a good and faithful man, takes Isaac up the mountain to sacrifice him and God rewards him for it. That's choice one. But what if Abraham said no? What if Abraham said: "There's lots of stars in the sky but only one Isaac, who I waited 100 years for, and I'd rather spend the time I have left on this earth with him and Sarah, reward be damned." That's choice two. Two impossible choices. So, I took the one that makes me happier."

If you die, all that goes with you. Whose gonna talk about how special Anna was? How amazing you were together? I’ll see you in recovery." (Mads)
