Touched by an Angel1994

Andrew:
[invisible] You know, Chris, this is... This is it. These are gonna be your last hours with the man. I think you better say it now.

Chris Carpenter:
[starting to cry] I wanted to... thank you. You taught me so much. And I don't know if anybody's ever told you, but you've lived a very good life. You're a good man.

Andrew:
Did you ever think of him as a... strong man?

Chris Carpenter:
I have a confession to make. I never really thought of you as a strong person. Patient, maybe... But how could a strong man live with a woman like Mother?

Andrew:
Maybe that's the only kind of man who could?

Chris Carpenter:
All of a sudden I'm startin' to think... it took more strength to stick with it. You know how to sit back and duck and ride it out... I'm not so good at that. But I'd like to know... Was it worth it, Dad? Hangin' in there all these years? What did you get out of it?

Joe Carpenter:
[struggling to speak] I... I...

Andrew:
Chris... He got you.

[with this understanding, Chris kisses Joe's hand and they hug]
