Fridays 9:00 PM on ShowtimeFellow Travelers Season 1 Episode 8: "Make It Easy" Quotes
Lucy: May I? How are you?
Tim: I have KS, recurring seizures, and my hair is falling out. What else? Um... Uh, my social worker suggested I sign a do-not-resuscitate order. How are you?
Lucy: The government ought to do more about this. It's terrible.
Tim: They could do more. But people like you would have to pay higher taxes. Lucy: My father used to argue for a national healthcare system. He believed government should take care of its citizens. So do I. It's not always wise to judge someone on appearances.
Tim: You're right.
Lucy: This hospital is not what I expected it to be. It's the only one like it in the country, where people with AIDS are treated like human beings. I'm sorry, Mrs. Fuller, but why are you here?
Lucy: I don't know. You mean something to my husband. I suppose I had to see you so I would know.
Tim: Know?
Lucy: How much you mean to him.
Tim: Shouldn't you ask him? Right. That wouldn't get you anywhere.
Lucy: No.
Tim: My time with Hawk was rushed, with years in between. You had him most of his life.
Lucy: But you were always there. I could never get away from you.
Tim: It's not a contest.
Lucy: Of course it is. It always has been.
Tim: Then why didn't you leave him?
Lucy: Because we had a good life. And children. And then when Jackson... You don't want to hear this. Please. When Jackson died, it was so unbearable. The only comfort I had was knowing that Hawk understood that suffering, felt the same way. If I had had to bear that alone, I wouldn't have lived through it. I should be going.
Tim: Mrs. Fuller, thank you for coming to see me.
Marcus: Tim.
Hawk: What are you doing here?
Marcus: I'll take your badge.
Tim: Marcus is going inside with me. He needs your badge to get in.
Hawk: I don't understand.
Tim: I knew Lonigan would refuse to see us. And we'd never get close to the Governor. And then... I invited you to the gala. I mean, it was very convenient. Hawk: I think I've been used.
Tim: A little.
Hawk: All right. Hey. Give us a minute? Look, whatever you're up to, and I don't want to know all the details, I'll wait for you.
Tim: No. You need to go home. Where you belong. No. It's not...
Hawk: I want to stay.
Tim: I have to fight this fight. That means letting go of everything else. And if you're around, I will not be able to let go.
Hawk: But I wanna show up for you.
Tim: Go home, Hawk. Please. Make it easy for me.
Hawk: Hey, Skippy. Promise you won't write.
Tim: I won't.
Kimberley: Dad? You found him? It's beautiful. From what you've told me, it really suits your friend.
Hawk: Yeah. It does. Sweetheart. He wasn't my friend. He was the man I loved.
