What are you in for?
Parkinson's. You?
Just haircut.
I deserve more of a laugh than that.
Sorry. I'm just going through it today.
You look good. Your voice is firm.
Makes you sound wise.
Yeah, I am quite wise.
How's your balance?
Not bad.
Stupid exercises help.
I mean, I fall three times a day.
I'm thinking I'm taking up stump work.
Paul.
Jerry.
It's just great to be a part of this.
Michael's encouragement of the story we're telling
is an inspiration.
It's hard.
And it's unfair.
And it's boring.
Like, how many vocal exercises can one guy do in a year?
Ahhh.
There's a big truth about Parkinson's.
You never get ahead of it.
I gotcha.
It teaches you acceptance.
It teaches you tolerance.
It teaches you compassion.
It teaches you resiliency.
And at the end of the day, you say, I'll take it.
Take it, and you learn from it.
The thing about Paul is, he's always been a wonderful man.
I gotta face it.
I can either be a self-pitying s***head,
or I could suck the marrow out of what's
left of this amazing life.
Will you marry me in 15 minutes?
We looked at the dark side of Parkinson's,
and see the lighter side, the human side.
I had no idea Parkinson's would take as much from me as it would.
But I absolutely had no idea that it would
give as much to me as it has.
I love you.
I'll leave.
The opportunity just opened up for me
to communicate with people about just the human experience.
It doesn't dictate the story of your life.
You want to do it with me?
I actually do.
I'm still here, so f*** Parkinson's.
F*** Parkinson's.
