Tess and Monica in “Unfinished Business”

Tess

I told you he needed an umbrella but I didn't tell you to hit him on the head with it.

Monica

I know. I got angry.

Tess

Well, anger's not so bad. You just gotta be careful where you put it. So now you're sitting out here contemplating the infinite, huh?

Monica

And what it takes to run it. [sigh] I can't see the plan, Tess. I know I'm supposed to be doing something but I don't know what. He said so many awful things.

Tess

You see, that anger's clouding his brain. Forget what he said. What did you hear?

Monica

I heard fear. Fear that his life has been a waste. He knows that he's dying. And he knows that he's dying by himself.

Tess

Oh, honey, we all die by ourselves. It's living by ourselves that hurts. What is he leaving behind that will last?

Monica

I don't know.

Tess

Some of our best living is done by the people we leave behind.
