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.

You must have something very... big going on with my father. - Big? - Yeah.

You appear at his side out of the blue, stay at his house, have dinner with his family. That's, uh, practically a first. You're in the red-hot center of big business, and I thought you were just a regular Joe.

- I am Joe. - Not the one that I met this morning. Hitting on me in as nice a way as I've been hit on in a long time. The second that you found out I was my father's daughter, you, uh... Well, you acted like a stranger. That is not my intention.

What are your intentions? Huh? I mean, just to, uh, make little dramas in coffee shops, turn a woman's head? I don't mind admitting that my-my head was turned. I- I liked it. But, well, ten hours later, I feel like a fool.

I just don't get it. I don't. You, my father, here in this house. It's, uh... It's upsetting me, and I... What happened to that sweet guy from the coffee shop?

- What kind of childhood did you have? - Do you love Drew? Excuse me? When you put your mouth to his, it seemed a frequent thing.

Drew is none of your business, and neither is where I put my mouth. I'm sorry. Do you live here? No, Joe, I'm swimming here and now I'm going home. Yes, I think what I'm trying to say is, I would like it if we were friends. I've got plenty of friends. I don't have any. Well, I can see why.

I didn't mean to offend you at dinner. I'm sometimes... not quite at home around people.

I have a certain function to perform, and it seems to take up most of my time.
