Cas & Dylan (2013) - full transcript

In Winnipeg, Dr. Cas Pepper has just found out he has a terminal brain tumor. Dylan Morgan is an aspiring writer. The two first set eyes on each other in the hospital ward, where Dylan was trying to get inspired for her writings. Despite being a mismatched pair, the two end up on a journey together, largely out of a joint incident with Dylan's boyfriend Bobby, to head "west". This journey was originally Cas' alone as part of what he felt he needed to do in light of his diagnosis, his complete mission about which Dylan is unaware. Although he would like to do this trip on his own beyond the issue with Bobby, he finds it is more difficult to get rid of Dylan than he would like. It seems as if Dylan is both running away from Bobby, and running toward what she hopes is that lucrative writing career, that next step being a meeting with a representative at a publishing house in Vancouver. This journey ends up being one of discovery for both, both in terms of learning about the other's full current mission - which each believes he/she gets a better handle on from information gleaned from the other's cell phone - and what the other truly means to him/herself in their short time together.

- What's in it?
- Thank you.

- What's in it?

- It's a secret recipe.

- You're very
secretive, you know that?

Well, thank you for
the lovely supper, and

- So you can get
anywhere away from here.

And also away from me.

- You're talking about--

- Your poorly
composed suicide note.

First of all I, I uh,
I prefer the

phrase "legacy" note.

- Yeah,
that's delightful.

- And secondly, I've
decided not to write it.

So, unfortunately, your
talents are no longer required.

- No. You have
to write a note, Cas.

Everybody writes a note.
You can't commit suicide

without a suicide note.

I've already got
some great ideas for the first

act, Cas. Um, you ever see
"Leaving Las Vegas"?...

- Paying customer.
With a big dick.

- Hello.

parents, Dylan?

- Um, they are
travelling circus

performers so... they're

I can't diagnose morning

just don't wanna get
stuck. I don't wanna be

stuck with Bobby. I don't
wanna end up like my

Everything about you,

Here's to ... perseverance
and getting where we wanna go.

- And to ripping
phones out of walls.

Mmm! I almost
forgot. I got you something.

- Did you steal it?

- Yes. But to be
perfectly honest, I

haven't paid for music
since the late 90's.

this. I've been doing some

- Yeah. Mm! Hey, get
this. I've been doing some

solo work on... The note.
Um, if I were you, I'd

wanna go out on a little
drama. Y'know, take the

opportunity to expose
anybody who's really

pissed you off. The
context alone will make

them feel bad. So, I
fictionalized it for now,

"It all started with my

kindergarten teachers,
Miss Grey..." We can

change the name. Uh, "I
firmly believe that her

inability to grasp the
full meaning of what I'd

done over my summer
vacation was directly

linked to my lifelong fear
of intimacy..." I'm just

guessing, but I'm probably
right. You okay, Cas?

- Mmhmm.

- Okay. Um,
so... Cas? Cas?

How's work coming on the note? I

think we're gonna need it
to... Soonish.

kidding ourselves here.

in this room

heading west on some
insane mission.

- You're

- Listen to me--

- No. No. You listen
to me, okay? Yeah, at

first I thought this would
be really fun, but I think

you're delusional and
maybe I am too. You know,
first I thought this would
be really fun, but I think

you're delusional and

I just know
that it just got

don't know you that well.

I don't know you well
enough to deal with this,
really fucking real and I
don't know you that well.

I don't know you well
enough to deal with this,

that's for sure.
And, I mean--

- What are you doing?

- I'm calling Denise.
Yeah, I went through your

phone, but you went
through mine. So we're

even. She made your fave
four? I can only assume

that she should be here
instead of me. Seriously,

who has only four contacts?
You're like a sociopath!

- Hey, this is Denise! I'm not

- Hey, this is Denise! I'm not

in. You know what to do.

Yeah, it's been very

difficult getting ahold of
her... Since she's been

Yeah, it's been very

difficult getting ahold of
her... Since she's been

dead for 10 years.

- You think
this is funny?

- No. Which is why I
didn't drive all this way

to end up here.
What are you doing?

- You had a seizure
in the middle of a

restaurant and I'm
not always great at

interpreting signs, but
that's a pretty clear one.

- Mmm, that
wasn't a sign.

here. Okay? And until you

accept that, I'm taking
your keys, and your

wallet, and good luck--

- Dylan. Dylan! There
are no such things as

signs. They are bullshit.
Listen to me. I didn't

become a doctor because of
my last name. And you and

I didn't meet because it
was some divinely inspired

act. I had a plan.

please help me get out of here.

Beloved Winston,

I never knew you in your

living state, but I've
really come to enjoy your

company post-mortem. Uh, I
truly believe that if you

make a difference in just
one person's life, then

your life had meaning.
Hope you know you'll be

sorely missed. I just
wished I'd met you sooner.

Do you... Do you
wanna say something?

- Yeah.

Winston, buddy, I

know you hated Winnipeg.
And I think you really

liked it here so...
Bringing you here

hopefully... counts.

it down the toilet.

It's been too easy.
Until now.

you for that.

Somebody loves you darling

When I go from this life

Let me go in peace

Don't want your marble

At my head and feet
Don't want your marble

At my head and feet

Don't gather round me

Oh just to weep and moan

Where that I'm going

I won't be alone

The flowers you give

Please give them today
The flowers you give

Please give them today

Don't waste their beauty

On cold lifeless clay

One rose with love

Could do so much good

And I think
all would give it

If they just understood

Now God gives life freely

Then he takes away

What we do for each other

Let us do it today
What we do for each other

Let us do it today

For we have no promise

That tomorrow will come
For we have no promise

That tomorrow will come

So let it go freely

To God's evermore
