Urged by Norman, his closest friend and de-frocked doctor turned actor, he finally seeks medical advice. His bucket list is modest. Make one last stage appearance. Hold a secret farewell party for his friends. Say what he's always wanted to say to the people who annoy him, including, no, especially to, his sponsor. Be remembered to his estranged family faraway in the UK. Bring the young woman he's recently befriended into his circle of friends. And orchestrate his wake. He's not going quietly.
