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.

- Joe? - Hmm? May I kiss you? Why, yes, you can. Mmm. Thank you. You're welcome. - Joe? - Mmm. I don't know who you are. - I'm Joe. - Mm-hmm. And, uh, you're Susan. Mmm. And... I have this... weak feeling in my knees. - And is your heart beating strangely? - Yes. - Mm-hmm. - Faster. The taste of your lips and the touch of your tongue... that was wonderful. Mmm.

I don't think so. Do you? To get to the point, we've received new information from John Bontecou... concerning his desires for this company to merge with his. And we wanted to set the details before you. Is that it? Bontecou wants a quick response, and... The answer is no. Quick enough for you? - Don't you want to hear the details? - I'm not interested. I'm not interested in the big picture either. What I am interested in... is how my board got convened behind my back... and is entertaining a further proposal from a man with whom it offends me to do business.

I made a decision. Case closed. So am I to understand from your response... that you do not want to hear the details of Bontecou's offer? Yes, you are to understand that. And now, may I ask you a question? - Certainly, Bill. - Are you running this board, or am I?

We've got a busy day ahead. This meeting's already set me behind. Shall we adjourn? Uh, before we do, Bill, while we're here...
