Quotes

Edward Cole: Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world.

Edward Cole: [to Carter, of expectations without a bucket list] What do you think happens now? I go back and sit around listening to people talking about mezzanine financing and subordinated debt pretending that I care about dead money. You go home to some ceremonial procession into death with everyone standing around watching you die while you try to comfort them.

Faq

What is Carter's job?

He's a car mechanic.

What happens at the end?

They kick the bucket (die) and get cremated, then buried up on 'Carter's mountain' in a tin can, as they discussed earlier in the film

Is that stuff about the coffee for real?

Yes. It is exactly as described at the end of the movie, when both characters crack up laughing.
