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.

Scrambling forward, he looks for a way out. But the trees have encircled him, their spiky crowns bending down to crushhim.
He SCREAMS up at the night, until his breath is gone.
44.
EDWARD (V.O.) (cont'd) And then I realized, this wasn’t theend of my life.
With a sudden calm... EDWARD (cont’d) (aloud) This isn’t how I die.
Another lightning FLASH, and suddenly the trees are back where they’ve always been. Edward is lying shoeless and torn in a muddy puddle, staring up at the rain. And LAUGHING.
EXT. THE ROAD - DAY His bare foot steps onto asphalt.
A DEEP VOICE: Friend!
Edward turns to see
KARL:
to his right, coming down the larger, paved road.
KARL:
What happened to your shoes?
Edward looks down at his muddy, bloody feet.
EDWARD:
They got ahead of me.
With that, the men start walking down the larger road.
CROSSFADE TO: INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT Edward and Will sit at opposite ends of the table, withSandra and Josephine in the middle. Although Edward has asmall plate of food in front of him, he hasn’t touched it.
He’s exhausted from the trip downstairs, but determined tomaintain the family dinner ritual.
The other three eat awkwardly, each CLINK and SCRAPE of aknife or fork resonating. Will finally breaks the silence.
WILL:
I don’t know if you’ve seen it, butJosephine has some photos in the mostrecent Newsweek.
45.
SANDRA:
Really! That’s wonderful.
JOSEPHINE: I spent a week in Morocco for thestory. It was incredible.
SANDRA:
We’ll have to pick up a copy.
A beat. As Will scoops out another serving of potatoes, Edward suddenly speaks:
EDWARD:
I don’t know if you’re aware of this, Josephine, but African parrots, intheir native home of the Congo -- theyspeak only French.
All three stop to listen.
