Steven was losing hope. His wife passed away, he retired and had nothing to do, his son didn’t speak to him… And now, his health gave out, too. Lying in the hospital bed, Steven refused to take medication. He shunned away the doctors who tried to help him and screamed at everyone who showed him care. But soon, a new patient came in. He shared a room with Steven and was nothing like him – cheerful and happy. The guy took it upon himself to fill Steven’s life with joy.

00:00Steve, I don't think you should do that.
00:09Isn't there something that's worth living for?
00:12What for?
00:14My wife passed away six months ago.
00:16I haven't seen my son.
00:17I'm retired.
00:18I have no one.
00:21I don't see the sense of this useless existence.
00:26What about your son?
00:28I had an argument with him a couple months ago.
00:35He tried to call me.
00:38He tried to see me.
00:41I wasn't ready for it.
00:44Yeah, I just, I think it's silly that if life just gives you one more day, why say no?
00:53It's none of your business.
00:58Oh, look at that.
01:01Here we are stuck with this lumpy oatmeal, and Dr. Lawrence over there is coming out
01:06of a burger place.
01:07I just hate this place.
01:09Now, wait a minute.
01:11He sat on a bench.
01:14What's that he got in his hands, and what on earth is that?
01:19It's a bacon double cheeseburger.
01:22He's just sitting there devouring it.
01:29Mr. Taylor, your blood cholesterol level is less than my burger.
01:41Oh, look at your x-ray.
01:44There's a ketchup stain on your robe.
01:53Steven, I know that you don't really want to do this operation.
02:02Yeah, I get that, but there's so much to see outside this window.
02:09You may think that there's nothing to live for, but you're wrong.
02:13It's easy for you to talk about it.
02:15You're cheerful and energetic, and I'm falling apart.
02:24It all depends on your point of view.
02:28You can be happy, too, if you let yourself be.
02:31I don't want to talk about it.
02:37Oh, you're not going to believe this.
02:41What's up?
02:43He's gone back for another one.
02:52And? And? And?
02:56Oh, no.
02:58She took the flowers and she kissed him on the cheek.
03:02I can't believe I lost.
03:04She did go out with him.
03:08I told you Lizzie likes the doctor more than you.
03:11She's got a crush on me.
03:18Oh, for crying out loud.
03:21There they go, walking hand in hand back into the hospital.
03:26I bet you he'd trip some of the tiles again.
03:29Yeah, let's see. Three, two, one.
03:32Yes!
03:35You know, in a year or so,
03:38she and I are going to be strolling under this window.
03:44Yeah, I'll be there to see you.
03:51I'll be there.
03:57Good afternoon, gentlemen.
03:59Did you have your lunch yet?
04:01I knew.
04:03And you?
04:06We know your little secret.
04:08Secret? What secret, Mr. Foreman?
04:12Your amnesia is not based on bacon abuse, is it?
04:18Amnesia?
04:20I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.
04:23But I see that you haven't filled out your waiver, sir.
04:33You know, Doc,
04:37I changed my mind.
04:45Really?
04:47Well, that's a really good decision, Mr. Foreman.
04:50Really good decision.
04:53All right, gentlemen, I need you to get your rest.
04:56I want you strong and ready for tonight.
05:00I bet she goes to the burger spot right now.
05:03Yeah.
05:05There's two of them.
05:21Do you know what the first thing I'm going to do
05:24after they discharge us?
05:27You're going to take Lizzie out on a date.
05:30No.
05:32You and I are going to go get us two huge double cheeseburgers.
05:38And then let's rub Dr. Lawrence's nose in it.
05:41Mm-hmm.
05:44Mr. Foreman, Mr. Taylor, it's time to go.
05:49Lizzie, put on the gas.
05:52We got to beat this old guy.
05:54You wish.
05:56Dr. Lawrence, make sure we go faster than these guys.
06:00Hey, let's make a bet.
06:02Whoever comes last in surgery buys a burger.
06:06Deal.
06:08See you on the other side, buddy.
06:11I'll see you later.
06:13All right.
06:16Let's go, let's go.
06:18Come on, come on.
06:20They can't let them get ahead of us now.
06:23Lizzie, what are you thinking about?
06:27It's time to make a bet.
06:36Come on, boys.
06:38It's time to make a bet.
06:41Come on, girl.
06:43I don't know what I'm going to do.
06:46It's time for a race.
06:48There you are.
06:50Lizzie.
06:56How are you feeling, Mr. Foreman?
06:59Great.
07:01That's good.
07:03Nice to hear.
07:07Where's Matthew?
07:09I'm so sorry.
07:21He hardly had a chance. He was incurable.
07:27Mr. Taylor understood that probably this surgery wouldn't help him.
07:34But he loved his life too much not to try.
07:40Lizzie, honey.
07:47Could you see if the burger spot is open?
07:50What burger spot, Mr. Foreman?
07:53Outside the window.
07:55There is no burger spot out there.
07:59What kind of nonsense is that?
08:02You walked with Dr. Peterson down the alley there.
08:05Dr. Peterson, um...
08:08Mr. Foreman, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.
08:14Oh, please, stay in the back, Mr. Foreman.
08:22Okay, stay in the back, please, Mr. Foreman.
08:36There is...
08:38There's nothing there.
08:40Yeah.
08:43And now what?
08:46Why are you so surprised?
08:51Lizzie, I'm sorry.
08:54I'm sorry.
08:56I'm sorry.
08:58I'm sorry.
09:00I'm sorry.
09:02I'm sorry.
09:04Lizzie, at one point...
09:07this window gave me hope.
09:11It truly changed everything.
09:16But...
09:18all along, it was Matthew.
09:26Matthew showed me that life is worth living.
09:32And outside this window...
09:35is a beautiful world.
09:39I'm so sorry.
09:45Is there anything I can do for you?
09:48No, thank you.
09:52Okay.
09:55Yeah.
10:00Could you give me your number?
10:04Um...
10:25Hello, friend.
10:27I brought us these.
10:29I couldn't find any with bacon.
10:35Well, look at that.
10:37I got her number for you,
10:39and there she is, walking with Dr. Peterson.
10:43Lizzie!
10:46Hi.
10:49Lizzie!
10:52Hi.
10:59Dad, what's up? Are you coming?
11:01I'm coming soon.
11:03Okay.
11:10I called him, Matthew.
11:13Thank you so much.
11:15You were right.
11:18Thanks to you, I learned that life outside the window...
11:23is too interesting to miss.
