1. Hello.
My name is Joe Pera.
Copy !req
2. And right now, I'm exactly
where I want to be,
Copy !req
3. the beauty parlor.
Copy !req
4. Every Friday afternoon
since I was 5 years old,
Copy !req
5. I've waited for my nana
to get her hair done.
Copy !req
6. And as soon as she's finished,
we go for a fish fry.
Copy !req
7. I suppose I could run errands
or go home and play computer,
Copy !req
8. but I think
that she likes that I'm here.
Copy !req
9. I do, too.
Copy !req
10. Also, the price of gasoline.
Copy !req
11. Can I ask you a question?
Copy !req
12. What kind of fish do you
think I'm going to get
Copy !req
13. at tonight's fish fry —
Copy !req
14. perch or whitefish?
Copy !req
15. Yep, you got it.
Copy !req
16. What's my second choice?
Copy !req
17. Yep. You got it.
Copy !req
18. Man, I can't wait to eat
that fish meal.
Copy !req
19. For those of you
in Southern California,
Copy !req
20. a typical fish fry
is a paper-napkin meal
Copy !req
21. consisting of fried fish...
Copy !req
22. French fries...
Copy !req
23. coleslaw...
Copy !req
24. rye bread and butter...
Copy !req
25. and a beer or pop —
Copy !req
26. an almost entirely
brown meal.
Copy !req
27. And just thinking
about it's making me hungry.
Copy !req
28. You're not bored,
are you, Joey?
Copy !req
29. Y-You know
I've never been bored,
Copy !req
30. not once in my life.
Copy !req
31. It was a fabulous...
Copy !req
32. She asked me that every week.
Copy !req
33. Nothing around here
changes much,
Copy !req
34. kind of like a hyperbolic
time chamber and Dragon Ball,
Copy !req
35. where Gohan, Goku,
Vegeta, Trunks,
Copy !req
36. and other characters
go to train
Copy !req
37. because, inside of it,
Copy !req
38. one day
equals one year of regular time.
Copy !req
39. Unlike the Saiyan Souls,
the clients here
Copy !req
40. haven't changed their hairstyles
much in the past few decades.
Copy !req
41. Right...?
Copy !req
42. What's
he talking about now?
Copy !req
43. Oh, yeah.
And Piccolo, too.
Copy !req
44. But he doesn't have
any hair.
Copy !req
45. I think
The closest you can come
Copy !req
46. to knowing what it's like
to be another person
Copy !req
47. is by getting
a different hairstyle.
Copy !req
48. For example,
here I am with Mr. Slick...
Copy !req
49. Flattop...
Copy !req
50. the co-worker who is thinking
Copy !req
51. of deep-frying a turkey
this Thanksgiving...
Copy !req
52. the MRI technician...
Copy !req
53. the mayor's wife...
Copy !req
54. Rich South African Guy...
Copy !req
55. Hockey Guy...
Copy !req
56. Hockey Guy II.
Copy !req
57. Aaaaaah!
Copy !req
58. Super Saiyan II.
Copy !req
59. Unfortunately,
Copy !req
60. I lack the coarse hair
and bravery it takes
Copy !req
61. for a haircut.
Copy !req
62. But I think it's at least
important to imagine,
Copy !req
63. for empathy's sake.
Copy !req
64. When it comes down to it,
Copy !req
65. waiting for someone
is just a nice thing to do.
Copy !req
66. Think of
a hospital waiting room
Copy !req
67. or someone who waits
for a loved one
Copy !req
68. to serve a prison sentence.
Copy !req
69. What's more romantic than that?
Copy !req
70. If my wife goes to jail,
Copy !req
71. I will wait for her,
as long as it's not murder.
Copy !req
72. Joe! Get over here
Copy !req
73. before you start
talking to the plants!
Copy !req
74. Yes, Carol.
Copy !req
75. So, it's true what say —
it really is a beauty parlor.
Copy !req
76. Joe, when
are you gonna ask me out?
Copy !req
77. I think I'm pretty —
Copy !req
78. Honey, I'm just teasing you.
Copy !req
79. Your nana told us
all about your new girlfriend.
Copy !req
80. That's Carol,
Nana's best friend.
Copy !req
81. That girl is too nice.
He needs to be yelled at a bit.
Copy !req
82. Lulu, my best friend Gene's
best friend.
Copy !req
83. I like her.
She's grounded.
Copy !req
84. Nana, my best friend.
Copy !req
85. She sounds unattractive.
Copy !req
86. Roe, she's critical.
Copy !req
87. And Louise —
her best friend is wine.
Copy !req
88. Oh, Roe,
I think she's very handsome.
Copy !req
89. Don't you, Joe?
Copy !req
90. Yeah, of course.
She's my girlfriend.
Copy !req
91. If you catch my drift.
Copy !req
92. Oh, whoa!
Copy !req
93. - It's true.
- That's perfect.
Copy !req
94. Nana, would you say
that waiting
Copy !req
95. gets easier or harder
as you get older?
Copy !req
96. It has to do with patience.
Copy !req
97. And you learn it as you go on,
or you just —
Copy !req
98. Yeah.
I think — I think
Copy !req
99. I am much more patient now
than I used to be.
Copy !req
100. The things that
you thought were so important
Copy !req
101. just really aren't.
Copy !req
102. Yeah,
but aren't there days
Copy !req
103. when you want to run the person
right off the road
Copy !req
104. - 'cause they're in your way?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
105. Especially
in construction situations.
Copy !req
106. You are the one
who has the choice
Copy !req
107. whether you will take it hard
or you will take it easy,
Copy !req
108. and it's much better for you
to just take it easy.
Copy !req
109. Oh. Waiting seems
a little bit easier
Copy !req
110. when you've had
a glass of wine.
Copy !req
111. Now you know how it feels.
Copy !req
112. I was just wondering, do you
have any special techniques
Copy !req
113. that you use
to help pass the time?
Copy !req
114. I try to think about
what my next adventure would be.
Copy !req
115. Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Copy !req
116. What are you
thinking about now?
Copy !req
117. I don't think there's
enough time left in my life
Copy !req
118. to travel to all the places
I want to get to.
Copy !req
119. Well, where is the next place
you want to go?
Copy !req
120. The next one is going
to be South Dakota...
Copy !req
121. so going to do that.
Copy !req
122. Get in the car and just go.
Copy !req
123. Do you have any techniques
to help pass the time, Carol?
Copy !req
124. I do visit the casinos.
My life is not boring.
Copy !req
125. Time seems to go by fast
at the casino.
Copy !req
126. Yeah, unfortunately.
Copy !req
127. Other things go fast
at a casino, too.
Copy !req
128. Oh!
Copy !req
129. If it wasn't for TV, I don't
think I would do anything.
Copy !req
130. I watch "Blue Bloods."
Copy !req
131. - Oh.
- Yes.
Copy !req
132. - I don't quite get that.
- How about Tom Selleck?
Copy !req
133. Yes. Oh, I —
That's right.
Copy !req
134. - Young, old, in-between?
- Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
135. My Nana and I are similar
Copy !req
136. in that we both prefer to
listen in social situations.
Copy !req
137. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
138. When you're with
the right people
Copy !req
139. it's not important to say much.
Copy !req
140. Popped it out.
Copy !req
141. I mean, they killed her off
to get rid of her.
Copy !req
142. Then again,
someone's got to fill the air.
Copy !req
143. I don't think they ever found
the girl's body,
Copy !req
144. but they're pretty sure
she's dead.
Copy !req
145. When she wants,
Copy !req
146. Nana knows
how to pick her spots, too.
Copy !req
147. And the squirrel puts
one hand out, second paw.
Copy !req
148. - And looked just like that?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
149. Joe, come over here.
I have something for you.
Copy !req
150. - Oh.
- Leave my grandson alone.
Copy !req
151. No, I-I can't.
Copy !req
152. Oh, come on.
You always used to do it.
Copy !req
153. I know, when I was 5,
but not today.
Copy !req
154. - Ohh.
- Ohh.
Copy !req
155. I'm gonna go back
and get an M&M,
Copy !req
156. but enjoy
your hair appointment.
Copy !req
157. See you later.
Copy !req
158. Nana's friends
used to give me a quarter.
Copy !req
159. if I'd sing them a song.
Copy !req
160. Now... I don't need
their quarters.
Copy !req
161. I got quarters of my own.
Copy !req
162. Joey, come on.
Let's go next door.
Copy !req
163. - Ohh!
- Great. Joey, great!
Copy !req
164. - Let's go next door.
- Great!
Copy !req
165. Hey, Papa,
can I have a quarter?
Copy !req
166. I'll give you a quarter
if you say "God damn it."
Copy !req
167. Yeah, me too.
Copy !req
168. Drop the "God" stuff.
Copy !req
169. Damn it.
Copy !req
170. Alright.
Copy !req
171. One quarter per song... Here you go.
Copy !req
172. four to five quarters
per swear.
Copy !req
173. That was a bad lesson
Copy !req
174. that got me into
a lot of trouble later on.
Copy !req
175. But that's a story
for another time.
Copy !req
176. Joey, honey, I'm ready.
Copy !req
177. Alright. Here we go.
Copy !req
178. See you next week,
everybody.
Copy !req
179. We're getting fish fry.
Copy !req
180. - Bye!
- Bye!
Copy !req
181. Your hair looks nice.
Copy !req
182. Ah, thank you.
Ah...
Copy !req
183. - Here you go.
- Oh, thank you.
Copy !req
184. You're welcome.
Copy !req
185. Thanks, Kathleen.
Copy !req
186. You're welcome. Enjoy.
Copy !req
187. Oh, boy. Yeah.
Copy !req
188. That looks great.
Copy !req
189. Oh, it's
kind of juicy today.
Copy !req
190. Mmm.
Copy !req
191. This is so good.
Copy !req
192. It's fried fish. Mmm.
Copy !req
193. Of course it tastes good.
Copy !req
194. But the wait in the company
make it taste,
Copy !req
195. uh, really good.
Copy !req
196. No, absolutely not.
I called my brother.
Copy !req
197. I took a picture
of these Nike shoes.Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
198. And I called up Steve
and I said,
Copy !req
199. "Hey, Steve,
just look at your phone."
Copy !req
200. I got — You know.
Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
201. And he said, "Yeah, I could use
a new pair of shoes."
Copy !req
202. You know what you do
when you go to a garage sale —
Copy !req
203. you buy everything.No I don't.
Copy !req
204. Yes, you do.
I don't. Stop it.
Copy !req
205. Why do you say that?
Copy !req
206. Why do you say that?
It's my money, anyway, so...
Copy !req
207. It's — It's not yours.
Copy !req
208. How's your fish?My fish is good.
Copy !req
209. Yeah.
I really love it.
Copy !req
210. I love garage sales.
Copy !req
