Meet Joe Black
Meet Joe Black is a 1998 American romantic fantasy drama film directed and produced by Martin Brest, starring Brad Pitt, Anthony Hopkins, and Claire Forlani. Celebrating his 65th birthday, businessman and devoted family man Bill Parrish is visited by Death, who wants to know what it's like to be human in return for giving Bill extra days of his life. The screenplay was written by Bo Goldman, Kevin Wade, Ron Osborn, and Jeff Reno, and is loosely based on the 1934 film Death Takes a Holiday, an adaptation of the 1924 Italian play La morte in vacanza by Alberto Casella.
I'm very concerned about the woman you attended to today. - I am too. - Has her pain abated? We're doing what we can for her, but, uh, it's not looking very good. - I'm sorry to hear that. - Yeah. Who are we talking about? But I know she's grateful for the care you're giving her. Is this a state secret? No, we're talking about a patient of mine, 'cause... Uh-huh. Joe stopped by the hospital today. He did? That's more than we get to do. Maybe next time you go to the hospital, you'll take us along with you. - Perhaps you could remind me. - Well, I'll make a note of it. - Anything else I can do for you? - I wanna come along too. - See Susie strut her stuff. - You're on, Quincie. Destination, hospital. Joe, you can be the tour guide, okay?

So, uh, I'll see you tomorrow night? You include me out. I've had enough of the convocations. You don't mean that. You don't want to disappoint Dad. Daddy will do fine. Besides, he's got Joe. And it seems you do too. You're out of line. Well, that may be, but I don't like the ubiquitous creep. I don't like the way he looks at you. I don't like the way he talks to you.
