“The Bucket List” (2007) overview Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are couple of modern cinema's legends. Edward Cole (played by Jack Nicholson) has worked hard his whole life to build his hospital corporation into a Fortune 500 company. As CEO, Edward is on top of the world when cancer comes knocking on his door. In the hospital, Edward is put into a room with another cancer patient, Carter Chambers (played by Morgan Freeman). The doctors have given both the news that they have around six months to year to live. So they plan to write and fulfill their own bucket list (the things they want to do before death). Edward and Carter both decide to leave the hospital and embark on fulfilling all the things on the bucket list... Editors'

Carter Chambers: Oh, like the lady in the bar? Edward Cole: That's different. Carter Chambers: Tell me how it's different. Edward Cole: I build a billion dollar business up from NOTHING! Presidents have asked my advice, I have dined with royalty, and I'm supposed to make out like what? This trip was supposed to MEAN something to me? Like it was gonna change ME? How did you see it playing out Carter, I knock on the door, she answers, she's surprised and angry, but I tell her how much I love her and miss her, and OH, by the way, I'm gonna be dead soon so I'm reaching out to you because I don't wanna die alone? Carter Chambers: Everyone's afraid to die alone. Edward Cole: I'm not everyone! This was supposed to be fun. That's all it ever was. . . . . Carter Chambers: You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you. . . . . Edward Cole: Do you hate me? Carter Chambers: Not yet. . . . . Thomas: I'm proud of you. Edward Cole: Nobody cares what you think. . . . . Edward Cole: I want my own room. Thomas: You run hospitals, not health spas. Two beds to a room, no exceptions. . . . . Thomas: What the hell are you doing here? Carter Chambers: Fighting for my life. You? . . . . Edward Cole: The sequel was like that. She never backed me up on anything. Carter Chambers: The sequel? Edward Cole: The second Mrs Edward Cole. Edward Cole: Hell, that woman hated me. Kyle the parachutist: Maybe because you called her the sequel. . . . . Dr. Hollins: How are you doing? Edward Cole: Dumb question. . . . . Carter Chambers: I hate your rotten guts! . . . . Edward Cole: Here's something to remember when you're older Thomas - never pass up a bathroom, never waste a hard-on, and never trust a fart. Thomas: I'll remember that when I start "decrepitating" sir. . . . . Carter Chambers: Forty-five years goes by pretty fast. Edward Cole: Like smoke through a keyhole. . . . . Carter Chambers: Even now I cannot understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this. I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open. And I'm pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place, because he was buried on the mountain. And that was against the law. . . . . Edward Cole: The simplest thing is... I loved him. And I miss him. Carter and I saw the world together. Which is amazing... When you think that only three months ago, we were complete strangers! I hope that it doesn't sound selfish of me but... the last months of his life were the best months of mine. He saved my life... And he knew it before I did. . . . . Edward Cole: You're shitting me. Carter Chambers: No, the cats beat me to it! . . . . Edward Cole: You want some too? I'll have Thomas fix you a plate. Carter Chambers: No thanks. Edward Cole: You sure? Best in L.A. Carter Chambers: Not the best in L.A. Anymore. . . . . Edward Cole: I envy people who have faith, I just can't get my head around it. Carter Chambers: Maybe because your head's in the way. . . . . Edward Cole: [Carter's obsessing over a car] You gonna drive it or buy it a dress? Carter Chambers: Just getting acquainted. . . . . Edward Cole: The first time he hit her, she came to me. Wouldn't let me take care of it, said it was her fault, he'd had a rough day and too much to drink. The next time he hit her, she didn't come to me. The ex told me about it. So I wanted to be a good father, so I took care of it. I called a guy who called a guy who called his friends, they didn't kill him, what they did, I don't know, but he never bothered her again, and then she said I was dead to her. . . . . Edward Cole: Somewhere, some lucky guy's having a heart attack. . . . . Carter Chambers: Is it Tommy or Thomas? Thomas: It's Matthew, actually. He thought that was too biblical... . . . . Edward Cole: What does a snail have to do to reincarnate? Leave the perfect trail of slime? . . . . Carter Chambers: Edward, I've had baths that were deeper than you. . . . . Carter Chambers: [in his letter to Edward] Dear Edward, I've gone back and forth the last few days trying to decide whether or not I should even write this. In the end, I realized I would regret it if I didn't, so here it goes. I know the last time we saw each other, we weren't exactly hitting the sweetest notes-certain wasn't the way I wanted the trip to end. I suppose I'm responsible and for that, I'm sorry. But in all honestly, if I had the chance, I'd do it again. Virginia said I left a stranger and came back a husband; I owe that to you. There's no way I can repay you for all you've done for me, so rather than try, I'm just going to ask you to do something else for me-find the joy in your life. You once said you're not everyone. Well, that's true-you're certainly not everyone, but everyone is everyone. My pastor always says our lives are streams flowing into the same river towards whatever heaven lies in the mist beyond the falls. Find the joy in your life, Edward. My dear friend, close your eyes and let the waters take you home. . . . . Edward Cole: We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round. . . . . Edward Cole: Good afternoon. My name is Edward Cole. I don't know what most people say at these occasions because in all honesty, I've tried to avoid them. The simplest thing is I loved him and I miss him. Carter and I saw the world together, which is amazing when you think that only three months ago we were complete strangers. I hope that it doesn't sound selfish of me, but the last months of his life were the best months of mine. He saved my life, and he knew it before I did. I'm deeply proud that this man found it worth his while to know me. In the end, I think it's safe to say that we brought some joy to one another's lives, so one day, when I go to some final resting place, if I happen to wake up next to a certain wall with a gate, I hope that Carter's there to vouch for me and show me the ropes on the other side. . . . . Carter Chambers: Edward Perryman Cole died in May. It was a Sunday in the afternoon and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. He was 81 years old. Even now, I can't claim to understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this: I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open, and I'm pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place because he was buried on the mountain, and that was against the law. . . . . [last lines] Carter Chambers: And he probably liked that, because it was illegal. © Preems.com |

Courtesy of Sony BMG Music Entertainment Additional details Justin Zackham finished the script in just two weeks. Justin Zackham wrote the script with Morgan Freeman in mind to play Carter. Both director Rob Reiner and actor Morgan Freeman independently thought of Jack Nicholson to play the role of Edward Cole. Jack Nicholson's own experience in the hospital, just prior to filming, inspired some of the dialogue and acting for the movie. For example, the mirrored glasses seen in the movie were not originally in the script, but Nicholson, who obtained them while in the hospital, brought them to set. Director Rob Reiner decided to include them in the film. Morgan Freeman's real life son, Alfonso Freeman, plays his son in this movie. Kopi Luwak is indeed the most expensive coffee in the world selling for between $120 and $600 per pound. Its production is very slow due to its 'animal stage': the beans come from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet.
