Lyons is in a hospital where he is dying from cancer. His family gathers around
him. They are his wife, Rita, and grown children, Curtis Lyons and Lisa Lyons.
Also present is his nurse. Ben is no longer constrained by manners and says
whatever he wishes, including expletives. Rita, trapped in a 40-year loveless
marriage, now thinks of the future without Ben and plans to redecorate. Lisa is
an alcoholic, who has left an abusive marriage; Curtis, homosexual, has had
little to do with his father, who is homophobic. In a getaway from the
hospital, Curtis looks at an apartment with the help of an actor moonlighting
as a real estate agent. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
