Chapter 22 third tv show

The "Nightline" staff came to interview for the third and last time.This time the atmosphere was completely different, less like an interview than a sad farewell.Ted.Capel called several times in the days leading up to the interview and asked Murray: Do you think you can handle it? Murray dared not say that he could.Ted, I'm tired all the time and I'm choking a lot.If there's something I can't say, can you say it for me? Capel said of course.The anchor, who has always been unsmiling, added: Murray, if you don't want to do it this time, it doesn't matter, I will still come to say goodbye to you.

Afterwards, when Murray mentioned it, he would smile mischievously and say: I was impressed by him.indeed so.Capel now calls Murray a friend.Even the down-to-earth TV people have developed compassion for my old professor. The interview took place on a Friday afternoon, and Murray was wearing a shirt that hadn't been changed for a day.He always wears a shirt every other day, and this day is not the day to change a new shirt, so why break the rules? Unlike the previous two programs, this interview was completely conducted in Murray's study, because Murray could not do without his recliner.Kabo kissed my old professor's forehead as a greeting, and he had to squeeze beside the bookshelves so that the camera lens could get in.

Before the visit, Capel asked about his condition.Murray, how bad is it? Murray weakly raised one hand, but he could only lift it up to the height between his chest and abdomen, but couldn't lift it anymore. Capel had his answer. The cameras roll for the third and final interview.Capel asked if Murray was more frightened now as death approached.Murray replied no, in fact, he was less afraid now.He said that he was letting the outside world begin to go away, less often asking people to read the newspaper to him, less caring about those letters today, and listening to more music, watching the leaves change color outside the window.

Murray knew of other people with ALS, some of them famous, like the eminent physicist Stephen C.Stephen Hawking, author of A Brief History of Time.Hawking eats by piercing his throat, speaks with the aid of a computer synthesizer, and types by blinking, a sensor that detects his blinks. This kind of spirit is extremely admirable, but Murray doesn't want to live like this.He told Capel he knew it was time to say goodbye. Ted, I live to be able to interact with other people.It means I can show my emotions, my feelings.Talk to others, share their sorrows and joys He let out a breath.Without this, there would be no Murray.

They chat like friends.Capel, as on the previous two interviews, asked about wiping his ass, perhaps hoping to elicit a witty answer from Murray.However, Murray was too tired to even smile and just shook his head.When I used the toilet, I couldn't sit upright anymore, and I kept going limp, so I had to rely on someone to support me.When I'm done, I have to rely on someone else to clean it up, and that's the way it is. He told Capel that he wished to die in peace.He shares his latest quote: Don't let go too quickly, and don't hold on for too long. Capel nodded reluctantly.The first "Nightline" interview was only six months ago, but Murray.Schwartz is clearly out of shape.He withered before a national audience like a miniseries on his way to death.It's just that although his body decayed, his personality grew brighter and brighter.

Towards the end of the interview, the camera zoomed in on Murray, not even Capel, but his voice came and asked my old professor if he had anything to say to the deeply moved millions of viewers explain.Although Capel was well-intentioned, I still felt that this was asking the last words of a dying person. Be compassionate, Murray said softly: take care of each other and support each other.As long as we learn this, the world will be a lot more beautiful. He took a breath, and then said his motto: If you don't love, you die. The visit is over.But for some reason, the cameraman didn't stop the film, so the final scene was recorded.

Capel said: You did a great job. Murray smiled weakly.He whispered: I will give you what I have. You always have. Ted, this disease is hitting my heart.But it doesn't get my heart.It will get my body but not my mind. Capel burst into tears.You are doing a great job. Do you think so?Murray's eyeballs turned upward.I am now negotiating terms with Him above.I asked Him: Am I good enough to be an angel? It was the first time Murray had admitted that he was talking to God.
