He wants to get married down at the boutique and have one last wonderful meal and then he wants Bill to grind up all his pills and put them in the wine and fall asleep in his arms. He wants to have one good final day and then end it all.
Frank has developed a degenerative disease that has him bound to a wheelchair, unable to get in and out of bed on his own. The apocalypse was the best thing to ever happen to him. “Before I met you I was never scared,” Bill tells him. We see bandits attack, and Bill fight them off with his traps and flamethrowers and electric fence, but he’s shot and for a moment, we think he’s going to die, but Frank tends to his wounds and saves him. “I’m sorry that I’m getting old before you.” Frank surprises Bill with a patch of strawberries, and Bill giggles in delight when he tries one-the first strawberry he’s had in years. We get moment after moment of tenderness. We learn how they befriend Joel and Tess and form a trading relationship with them. But we cut to ‘three years later’ in the next scene, to a marital squabble between the two. At first, Frank says that if he sleeps with Bill-who has never slept with a man before despite being gay-he’s going to stick around a few more days. “I know,” Frank says, putting his hand on Bill’s shoulder.Īnd from here, a life-long love springs.
“Who’s the girl?” Frank asks, a glint in his eye (in a way that only Murray Bartlett can make his eyes glint).
