Humphrey Bogart's final words were, "I should have never switched from Scotch to martinis." In this week's episode, we have David's last words. Like Bogart's, however, the reports may not be accurate; nonetheless, they are true. Memories of last words and memories themselves are tricky; a gap always exists between the memory and the historical event. Jonathan and Seth discuss the effect of memory-making, why this gap matters, and how it influences our interpretations.
