Six Feet Under: The Stages of Grief | HBO

So, how's life? (GRUNTS) How's death? It's good, good.

♪ (DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS) ♪ This is Ruth Fisher. Yes, I'm his wife. What is this about?

(TIRES SCREECHING) ♪ (MUSIC CONTINUES) ♪ There's been an accident. Your father is dead and my pot roast is ruined. Really sorry about your dad, man.

When your time is up, it's up, right? My father was just killed in a car accident. David, I'm so sorry.

What can I do? DAVID FISHER:<i> Nothing, thanks. </i> KEITH CHARLES:<i> You don't have to go through this alone.

</i> Well, well. This is what you've been running away from <i>your whole life, buddy boy. </i> NATE FISHER:<i> You only get one life.

</i> <i>There's no God, no rules, no judgements, except for those</i> <i> you accept to create for yourself. </i> <i>Then once it's over, it's over. </i> So why not be happy while you're here?

I am so glad you're dead. (SOBBING) My brother is dead. There is no death!

Wasn't it a relief when you realized that? Nate, thank God! (CHUCKLES) -Why must you always be in such deep denial?

-(SOBBING) I am not in denial! (SCREAMS) What the hell did you do here? Who the hell are you?

So many questions. Why couldn't you ask them while I was still alive? (GRUNTS) You have to pay for that cantaloupe.

(SHRIEKS) Fuck off! Oh, no. You're doing me?

You're the worst one we've got. DAVID: Thanks, Dad. I did it to make you happy, you ungrateful son of a bitch.

I'm sorry about your father, but he's in a much better place now. You are so right about that. Clearly, something went terribly wrong.

What, do you think I killed him? How dare you speak to me that way! How dare you!

I lost him too, Mom! -PRIEST:<i> It's natural to be angry. </i> -(SCREAMS) But maybe it's best to view God as a light through this dark time, as opposed to seeing him as the cause of it.

God is an asshole! Um, amen. Amen!

Amen! I promise you, you will get through this. I don't wanna get through it.

No one ever told me grief felt so like fear. (SOBBING) I want my son. I want my beautiful son.

NATHANIEL FISHER:<i> You're not even grateful, are you? </i> Grateful? For the worst fucking experience of my life?

NATHANIEL:<i> You hang on to your pain</i> <i> like it means something, like it's worth something. </i> Well, let me tell you, it's not worth shit. Let it go.

Claire, are you depressed? I'm not even gonna answer that question. SPEAKER:<i> You know, I keep thinking it's gonna get easier,</i> <i> but it just doesn't.

</i> DAVID:<i> No, it doesn't. </i> It just gets more familiar. When is Daddy coming back?

Daddy's dead. We talked about that. Uh-huh.

CLAIRE FISHER:<i> David, is there anything I can do</i> <i> to, like, help you? </i> What do you mean? Why would I need any help?

-I just mean, like, dealing. -I can deal, thank you. Just tell me.

Am I dead? <i> Yes or no? </i> CLAIRE:<i> No more bullshit.

</i> NATHANIEL:<i> No more responsibility. </i> No more having to care. No more boredom!

No more waiting to die. (LAUGHS) Slowly, you fall back in love with whatever really mattered to you. I know he loved you the very best he could.

KEITH:<i> I love you with all my heart. </i> I spent my whole life being scared. <i>Scared of not being ready, of not being right,</i> not being who I should be.

Where did it get me? I want to thank you for giving me a life. You gave me life.

CLAIRE: (SOBBING)<i> Oh, my God, I don't wanna go. </i> NATE:<i> Yes, you do! </i> NATHANIEL:<i> So, what's the meaning of life?

</i> <i> I really wanna know. </i> SPEAKER 2:<i> All we have is this moment,</i> <i> right here, right now. </i> -To Nate.

-To Nate. To Nate. To my first-born.

May he rest in peace.
