As a voice calls out for Mr. Fessenden, he reflects on how he used to drive out of Montreal with his kids, teaching them the meaning of highway signs and appreciating the rich scenery together. When they would stop at a gas station on the way to Williamstown, they would always stop at a refreshment stand to buy ice cream and afterward, they would continue driving to a general store, where the kids would use the bathroom and get free ice cream.  A voice announces that Mr. Fessenden must receive injections, and he remembers speaking with his wife Irma about wanting to commute to Williamstown from Montreal for work, which made her exclaim that his heart would not be able to take the extra work. They begin to discuss moving to Williamstown, but Irma claims that it would be too difficult to raise their children there. Mr. Fessenden remembers his children asking why their home was so small and why he always had to rest.  A voice says that Mr. Fessenden is comatose and his situation is a terminal case. Mr. Fessenden remembers a conversation with his now-grown children, where they suggest he move to be closer to their mother, to which he responds that she is now dead.  A voice asks the nurse how Mr. Fessenden is. He hears his children arguing; one of them says that there’s nothing more they can do, and the other says that he was never the same after their mother died. They begin to whisper and discuss how they will split their father’s estate. Mr. Fessenden then experiences a sense of lightness, as if he’s being carried.  A voice exclaims, “Look after the Fessenden business!” Mr. Fessenden continues to feel as though he is being carried elsewhere and imagines the greenery of Williamstown.
