Mr. Edward Magorium: [to Molly, about dying] When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all, nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words.
[pause, walks over to Molly]
Mr. Edward Magorium: I've lived all five of my acts, Mahoney, and I am not asking you to be happy that I must go. I'm only asking that you turn the page, continue reading... and let the next story begin. And if anyone asks what became of me, you relate my life in all its wonder, and end it with a simple and modest "He died."
Molly Mahoney: [starting to sob] I love you.
Mr. Edward Magorium: I love you, too.
[picks Molly up, sighs heavily]
Mr. Edward Magorium: Your life is an occasion. Rise to it.

King Lear is a tragic; one of the best in fact. read it twice, cause i just cant get a grip over the fact that his life ends in such a way that is so undeserving and a cheat (if i can say), if reflected in the way he lives. he owns a round character, and not only him that goes through changes, but also his conscience. wonderful post here. i watched that movie and i noticed this dialogue too and thought it was genius.
dustin hoffman could do no wrong..though wasn't too thrill about him in meet the fockers..ha ha..
haha ok what..kelaka kott hahah
