William has a strained relationship with Edward because his father has always told exaggerated stories about his life, and William thinks he's never really told the truth. Even on his deathbed, Edward recounts fantastical anecdotes. When William, who is a journalist, starts to investigate his father's tales, he begins to understand the man and his penchant for storytelling.

Heading back to the house...
WILL:
How is he?
SANDRA:
He’s impossible. He won’t eat. And because he won’t eat, he gets weaker.
And because he’s weaker, he doesn’t want to eat.
WILL:
How much time does he have left?
SANDRA:
You don’t talk about those things. Not yet.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY Sandra is pouring iced tea for Will and Josephine.
DR. JULIUS BENNETT (85) enters from the foyer, still windedfrom coming down the stairs. He was the town’s first Black physician. He’s still the town’s best physician.
DR. BENNETT Will.
WILL:
Dr. Bennett. It’s good to see you.
(they shake) My wife, Josephine.
DR. BENNETT A pleasure.
He judges her belly.
DR. BENNETT (cont’d) You’re seven months.
JOSEPHINE: (impressed) To the day.
He leans close to her, whispering in her ear... 19.
DR. BENNETT It’s a boy.
She smiles, surprised but not doubting. Will looks over -- what did he say? Josephine shakes her head.
Back to the main subject...
SANDRA:
You don’t think he looks any worse.
DR. BENNETT No. I would say he’s the same.
And in the silence that follows, a lot is said. It wasn’t the upbeat reply Sandra was hoping for.
WILL:
Can I see him?
DR. BENNETT Absolutely. Be good for you to talk tohim.
A moment of awkwardness -- everyone here knows they haven’tspoken in years.
