      Scottie Templeton: I spent a little time in the hospital, Maggie. It turns out that I'm in less than perfect health.

      Maggie Stratton: [quavering] how imperfect?

      Scottie Templeton: Well, I'll tell you. When they advise you to get your affairs in order, you tend to think they're posting a closing notice.

    I'm a big fan of Jack Lemmon's dramatic roles, but not this one.

    I'm a big fan of Jack Lemmon's dramatic roles but not this one. The movie is about Lemmon and his estranged son played by Robby Benson, who has a deep hatred for his father. After learning Lemmon is dying, Benson tries to make thing right with his father. 125 minutes of Benson talking about how bad of a father Lemmon was, combined with Lemmon's corny jokes, does not not equal a good movie
