Should I call you the Guardian Angel?
I should've worn gloves, but I didn't exactly think I was committing a crime.
Well, you weren't. Still, I couldn't help trying to figure out why you would be giving $10 million of your hard earned patent money to complete and total strangers. Until I realized that all these people had lost someone they loved. Somebody whose autopsies were on your table.
What are you, a detective or something?
(About the people he's given the money to) These ten cases, they really stuck with me, Jo, I mean, because their losses only got worse. They... they got pink-slipped or hit with back taxes or had to drop out of school. I just wanted to try and repair some of the damage, you know? 'Cause, I mean, let's face it. That's something people in our business rarely get to do. So I decided to hand-deliver those checks because I wanted to personally hand someone hope. Some kind of joy. Of course, we all deserve that, but trust me, Jo, these folks deserved it so much more.
More than anything else, I wanted to reassure those people that somebody out there still understands there's always more than one victim in a crime.
Sid, I can't imagine how you've changed these people's lives.
Well...
But do you really want to give away all your money?
Well, it's like they always say, you can't take it with you.
I've been diagnosed with cancer. Yeah, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, to be exact.
What's the prognosis?
Oh, you know doctors. They've all got their opinion. But, you know, we've all got an expiration date, right? Whether it's tomorrow or ten years from now. It's what we do before then that matters. That's why I gave the money to those people, Jo. I mean, most of us aren't around to see what happens to the inheritance that we leave behind. I want to know what kind of difference I've made.
Are you in any pain?
Not really. But if there comes a time when I can't do my job, I won't hesitate to step aside. Just please, please let it be on my own terms.
I promise. Promise me you're not telling me goodbye.
No. Are you kidding me? I've got way too much work to do. No, this is only... good night.
