Mr. Robot 1x5

1. He wants to hack

2. Steel Mountain's climate

3. control system,

4. raise the facility's heat

5. high enough

6. to destroy all the tapes.

7. This is what we're doing.

8. I'll hit up my Dark Army contact as soon as you take off.

9. You're just gonna

10. hit up the world's most

11. dangerous hacker crew?

12. He has my bank account, Ollie.

13. We cannot just infect Allsafe's network because of this.

14. I'll lose my job!

15. Evil Corp's upping

16. their security protocol.

17. They are physically

18. copying, then shipping

19. all the analog backups.

20. We go up today.

21. I want you to be

22. where you belong,

23. here with me.

24. I think I'm happy where I am.

25. Don't let me down, okay?

26. That girl in there is mine.

27. Did you have

28. something to do with

29. Vera getting busted?

30. He's on murder charges,

31. do you know that?

32. It's my plan, I'll go in.

33. You might be able to hide it from these nerds but I know a junkie when I see one.

34. I'm alone.

35. No you're not. I'm not goin' anywhere, kiddo.

36. I wish I had better news for you, Fernando,

37. but this isn't the you're-getting-out meeting.

38. This is only as much

39. as I could carry.

40. The DA has more.

41. How long this gonna be?

42. We're talking years.

43. Yo, are you playin'?

44. You get our people out.

45. That's your use to us.

46. They have a solid case.

47. For every charge

48. they're gonna lay on you,

49. they have these binders,

50. your Twitters, your Instagram.

51. You said they wouldn't

52. figure this shit out.

53. They can't, bro.

54. I'm tellin' you,

55. it was airtight, V.

56. Fellas, this isn't The Imitation Game.

57. The code here is

58. not that complicated.

59. Besides, who told you

60. to put your business

61. anywhere near social media?

62. My aspirational

63. little brother.

64. You know how much money

65. we saved last year?

66. Made our whole operation

67. way more efficient.

68. We were careful.

69. You tweeted about every transaction your business was involved in.

70. That is the

71. opposite of careful.

72. It's no wonder an anonymous tip turned you in.

73. Who called in the tip?

74. This is what is

75. meant by anonymous.

76. It is now spilled milk.

77. The information got

78. out and now they're

79. coming down hard.

80. There's no plea

81. on the table.

82. They're gonna lay

83. murder one on you.

84. I ain't pleading anyway.

85. Men can't sentence me.

86. That is

87. a cosmic responsibility.

88. Someone's gonna

89. get hurt for this.

90. That's how we get

91. square with the universe.

92. Fernando, we need

93. to discuss strategy.

94. You don't want supermax.

95. No, uh...

96. If they lock me

97. up, the kind of door

98. they close don't matter.

99. So, that's you.

100. That's who you are.

101. I know you.

102. Mmm-hmm.

103. Excuse me. Pardon me.

104. Pardon me. I already paid.

105. I just wanna pay

106. my respects. Thank you.

107. Oh, I'm sorry man. I'm sorry.

108. I just wanna pay

109. my compliments.

110. Hey, excellent coffee.

111. Fantastic service.

112. Buy yourself something nice.

113. Steel Mountain.

114. We're trying to penetrate

115. a data security facility

116. whose tagline literally is...

117. Nothing is

118. actually impenetrable.

119. A place like this

120. says it is, and it's close,

121. but people still

122. built this place.

123. And if you can hack

124. the right person,

125. all of a sudden you have

126. a piece of powerful malware.

127. People always make

128. the best exploits.

129. I've never found it hard

130. to hack most people.

131. If you listen to them,

132. watch them,

133. their vulnerabilities are

134. like a neon sign screwed

135. into their heads.

136. Mobley is a glutton,

137. who lacks discipline

138. from his urges.

139. I don't want to get bugs. They spread disease.

140. Romero is a know-it-all.

141. And a hypochondriac.

142. Bill Harper

143. is our first exploit.

144. He isn't gonna give the search much scrutiny. He can get us to Level One.

145. But Bill is not gonna be able to get us to Level Two.

146. And we need

147. to get to Level Two.

148. You're gonna

149. ask to speak to his

150. supervisor, Wendy.

151. She'll get us to exactly

152. where we need to be.

153. Then we'll be able to get

154. rid of her from the van.

155. After that, you'll connect the Raspberry Pi to the climate control system

156. and Bob's your uncle.

157. Now we can hear you,

158. and you can hear us.

159. Mr. Robot? His flaw is

160. he's absolutely insane.

161. We're talking clinical.

162. When they say,

163. "If your friends jump off

164. a bridge, would you?"

165. He would,

166. without hesitation.

167. Just to prove something.

168. He goes in there, he's liable

169. to blow the whole place up,

170. just like he wanted to

171. in the first place.

172. Sure you don't wanna

173. look over the info

174. and the map again?

175. I got it.

176. Okay, James Bond.

177. Let's go mess this shit up.

178. Boom, boom.

179. Yes, I also have

180. security flaws.

181. I don't like being outside.

182. I liked morphine too much.

183. Mr. Sepiol?

184. I'm talking to you right now

185. and you don't exist.

186. Sam Sepiol? Sir?

187. That's you, Elliot.

188. Okay.

189. So sorry you had to wait.

190. As you can see,

191. there's always

192. a lot of bustle here.

193. How can I help

194. you today?

195. You need a tour. Don't elaborate.

196. Uh, a tour.

197. Okay.

198. I'm sure they told you at

199. reception that we require

200. appointments for tours.

201. My supervisor gives us all

202. a hard time about that.

203. I'm Sam Sepiol.

204. You should look me up.

205. Okay... A little inelegant, but we can work with it.

206. Tell you what, have your company call over to new accounts

207. and we can set something up later this week. Ask for Bill Harper.

208. They'll know where

209. to find me.

210. "Listen Bill,

211. you think your boss gives

212. you a hard time now?"

213. "You're gonna get a really hard time right after I walk out of here."

214. "I'm not rescheduling, Bill."

215. "When I walk out that door, I'm never coming back."

216. That's your ass, Bill.

217. I really think you

218. should look me up.

219. It... It just doesn't work like that, I'm sorry, sir.

220. You take care, okay?

221. I'm coming out,

222. it's not working.

223. It's gonna work. Hang in there.

224. I was being too weird.

225. Just like every other tech billionaire.

226. Slow your roll,

227. it's gonna happen.

228. It's no wonder Wikipedia is never accurate, anyone can edit them.

229. Well, not anyone.

230. Nerds like Mobley built a lot of credit over the years

231. with his 20,000 edits.

232. And still, people trust it.

233. Beholden to all

234. the Mobley's of the world

235. for their information.

236. Mr. Sepiol?

237. Uh, Mr. Sepiol!

238. I have some good news.

239. Stop it. Stop it.

240. Can you stop packing

241. for like five minutes?

242. Can we just hash this out like adults? I love you.

243. You don't even know

244. why you're crying.

245. Let's get married.

246. Ollie, will you please stop?

247. Angela, Angela, you can't just give up on us like this.

248. I mean have you even thought this through?

249. What are you gonna do?

250. Go live with

251. your dad in Jersey?

252. Come on.

253. You're ruining your life.

254. Maybe.

255. But I also ruined yours.

256. Why do you have my work ID?

257. Did you... Do you...

258. Do you...

259. Do you know

260. what's gonna happen?

261. There will be fallout from this and I'm gonna tell them.

262. I used your computer.

263. So, tell them

264. whatever you want.

265. Are you seriously...

266. Did you even think about how this would affect me?

267. I did.

268. Here's an idea of

269. how big this place is.

270. We have our own

271. fire department.

272. Inside the building.

273. Just for us.

274. And you can't have a fire department without a fire truck.

275. And you can't have a fire truck without roads.

276. We have all of that.

277. Inside. Imagine that.

278. Elliot, now's the time

279. we get rid of Bill.

280. There's so much

281. information...

282. Okay. We're gonna need to roll up our sleeves.

283. You have to destroy

284. Bill in order to get

285. to his supervisor.

286. There's one vault in here that's 200,000 square feet.

287. That's the size

288. of a shopping mall.

289. And that's just one.

290. Bill, where...

291. Where are those giant vaults?

292. Oh, they're on Level Two.

293. But that's not

294. part of the tour.

295. Even I don't

296. have authorization.

297. He's not gonna take

298. you for ice cream.

299. He has to go away.

300. There's no place

301. in this plan for Bill.

302. Now, right down here...

303. Everything okay, sir?

304. We need to tear Bill down, piece by piece.

305. You need to wipe that smile off of his stupid face.

306. Sir, are you okay?

307. You're not... You're not saying anything.

308. Dig into him, Elliot.

309. You of all people

310. can do this, Elliot.

311. You know how it feels when someone makes you small.

312. You understand what happens when someone exposes the thing

313. you fear most about yourself.

314. Answer me! Answer me!

315. Get up.

316. Just get...

317. I hate you.

318. You're nothing.

319. You're worthless.

320. Think about what?

321. Think about it, Bill.

322. If you died,

323. would anyone care?

324. Would they really care?

325. Yeah, maybe they'd

326. cry for a day,

327. but, let's be honest, no one would give a shit.

328. They wouldn't.

329. The few people that would feel obligated to go to your funeral

330. would probably be annoyed and leave as early as possible.

331. That's who you are,

332. that's what you are.

333. You're nothing to anyone.

334. To everyone.

335. Think about it, Bill.

336. Because if you do,

337. if you let yourself,

338. you'll know I'm telling you the truth.

339. So, instead of wasting

340. any more of my time,

341. I need you to go call

342. someone that matters.

343. Because, Bill...

344. You don't.

345. I'll, um... I'll call my supervisor.

346. And that's why

347. Bill Harper is

348. a perfect exploit.

349. Desperate enough for

350. the business to break

351. protocol and let me in.

352. Lonely enough to break.

353. I need a supervisor

354. in L-1, S-3.

355. Copy that.

356. Don't... Don't apologize.

357. You're almost there.

358. You did great.

359. Once Wendy gets there, we'll send her a text

360. letting her know her pregnant wife is in labor.

361. Once she leaves, that should give you enough time to plant the Pi, you dig?

362. Trudy Davis,

363. Accounts Supervisor.

364. Is there a problem here?

365. Mr. Sepiol...

366. Trudy?

367. is asking for someone

368. more senior than me.

369. I don't seem to

370. have your name.

371. I'm Sam Sepiol?

372. Is that a question?

373. - Trudy? Trudy?

374. - Wendy.

375. We only prepped for Wendy. Where the hell is Wendy?

376. I need Wendy, actually.

377. How do you know Wendy?

378. She didn't come in today.

379. What is it that

380. you need Mr. Sepiol?

381. Um, I would love

382. a tour of Level Two.

383. I don't know what

384. you've been told

385. but we don't allow that.

386. I'll see you out.

387. You can go, Bill.

388. Follow me to the lobby.

389. This woman's a ghost. None of these are her.

390. No Facebook, no Linkedln.

391. She's been married

392. for 30 years.

393. All we have is her husband's cell phone number,

394. he doesn't even have

395. a picture online.

396. No hobbies, no kids, no credit problems, no weird sex stuff. House paid off.

397. So, I need...

398. I need to think.

399. The elevator's almost here.

400. Yes. That's how they work when you press the button.

401. Okay.

402. People... People are

403. all just people, right?

404. When it gets down to it,

405. everyone is the same.

406. They love something.

407. They want something.

408. They fear something.

409. Specifics help, but specifics don't change the ways that everyone is vulnerable.

410. It just changes the way that we access those vulnerabilities.

411. I, uh, I have to go. I'm sorry. I need to go to my office.

412. Reception will see you out.

413. What'd you do?

414. I spoofed a text

415. from her husband.

416. It's a palm print scanner. Get out of there.

417. There's one door

418. manually locked.

419. It's a fire code thing and I think you can pick it.

420. Where?

421. It's at the end of the hallway if you're heading north on L-1.

422. The stairs don't

423. go to Level Two.

424. They go to a parking lot.

425. You're on the complete wrong side of the building.

426. You're gonna have

427. to double back

428. and go through

429. the door you came in

430. and make a run for it.

431. Elliot?

432. I thought I saw you. What are you doing here?

433. Thank you! Y'all

434. come back to Wingstravaganza.

435. Okay, real important,

436. Wingstravaganza means

437. "wings" and "extravaganza."

438. Oh, do you know what

439. "extravaganza" means?

440. Yep. It's a big deal.

441. You got it.

442. Mmm-hmm.

443. You look nervous.

444. Are you excited?

445. Oh, yeah.

446. Okay. So, you'll shadow

447. me for the week.

448. But don't sweat it.

449. It's like every

450. other serverjob.

451. Well, I've actually never

452. been a waitress before.

453. Oh.

454. This is kinda like

455. a new beginning for me.

456. What were you doing before?

457. Fancy. You must've made bank.

458. Pharmaceutical sales.

459. What happened?

460. Um, you know, Obamacare.

461. Right this way.

462. Welcome to

463. Steel Mountain's data center.

464. Our facility meets

465. diamond specifications

466. and features a tier-10

467. certified build and design,

468. providing you with a safe,

469. rock-solid fortress

470. for your data needs.

471. All of our

472. facilities implement

473. comprehensive security

474. measures including rigorous background checks...

475. Exactly.

476. So, yeah. Elliot.

477. Nice meeting you.

478. You, too.

479. Tell your wife I said hi.

480. I will.

481. Those men I just

482. shook hands with,

483. financiers of Hezbollah and ISIS.

484. I wouldn't stare.

485. Did he know

486. I was gonna be here?

487. Does he know why

488. I'm here? Shit,

489. he's gonna kill me.

490. As you were saying...

491. Uh, just a routine data process check.

492. Allsafe does 'em

493. all the time.

494. But why would they send you?

495. That type of thing isn't usually handled by the engineers, is it?

496. We've been overlapping a lot in our duties.

497. Budget reasons.

498. It seems we both had the idea to work off-site today.

499. Let's call this fortuitous. Join me for lunch?

500. Sure... Sure.

501. I eat lunch.

502. So you are

503. like the rest of us.

504. Come.

505. He got owned man.

506. We gotta go!

507. We're not going anywhere. This changes nothing.

508. What can I get you, Elliot?

509. They have

510. a lot of things here.

511. He has a vulnerability.

512. He's an arrogant prick.

513. And he's proud of it.

514. He cares what you

515. think about him,

516. even though he probably

517. hates that he does.

518. Tyrell Wellick's greatest asset is his hubris,

519. but it's also his flaw.

520. And that's your exploit.

521. would be nice.

522. You eat here?

523. This place?

524. Is that your plan? To piss him off?

525. No, wait, man. Wait.

526. Now, remember, Elliot, you lose our signal on Level Two.

527. Elliot?

528. Elliot? Can you

529. even hear us?

530. I'm impressed you came

531. all the way out here.

532. Allsafe is finished,

533. but you won't let it die.

534. We're the same.

535. We're perfectionists.

536. I've seen our waiter here

537. for the last seven years.

538. He must be in

539. his fifties.

540. Maybe has kids, divorced,

541. second wife, more kids.

542. And I wonder what must he think of himself?

543. His life's potential

544. reached at a 30-grand

545. a year salary.

546. An economy car he

547. still owes money on.

548. A two-bedroom apartment.

549. Child support. Coupons.

550. I couldn't bear it.

551. A life like that.

552. The life of an ordinary cockroach

553. whose biggest value

554. is to serve me salad.

555. as a backup.

556. I'm getting a signal on that right now.

557. I have to go to the bathroom.

558. Goddamn withdrawals again.

559. Or is it Tyrell Wellick?

560. Is he toying with me?

561. What kind of game

562. are we playing?

563. Am I his malware?

564. I had to wash my face.

565. Hard to breathe here.

566. I know you framed Terry Colby.

567. Your father worked at Evil Corp before he died.

568. I... I didn't.

569. That's a matter

570. of public record.

571. I'm not turning you in, if that's what you're thinking.

572. I don't even have proof, and even if I did, I don't care.

573. I just wanted to know your weakness and now I do.

574. Revenge.

575. How ordinary.

576. It's like our waiter.

577. But even extraordinary people,

578. and I believe you are, are driven by human banalities.

579. And unfortunately,

580. we're all human.

581. Except me, of course.

582. I'm joking, Elliot.

583. Enjoy your long

584. drive back home.

585. I'm having a helicopter

586. take me back to New York.

587. You take care, Elliot.

588. No. Bullshit.

589. Dude, bullshit.

590. What did they say?

591. Oh, I don't know, basically that they're a bunch of dickless assholes.

592. Where you going?

593. To fix it.

594. No one else is going to.

595. Darlene, wait.

596. I really don't think you should keep pushing them.

597. Put it this way, either I'm

598. fixing this or breaking it.

599. Their call.

600. Hi, pumpkin.

601. Hey, Daddy.

602. Why aren't you at work?

603. I broke up with Ollie.

604. I know. Just got off

605. the phone with him.

606. Come on.

607. He was sobbing.

608. He wanted me to tell

609. you something like,

610. "I'll always love you.

611. Please come back."

612. Oh, and he can

613. learn to forgive you.

614. Jesus.

615. What did you say?

616. I told him that I thought you should have broken up with him a long time ago

617. Nice.

618. and hung up on him.

619. What did he mean, anyway?

620. Just normal work

621. and money stuff.

622. And, well,

623. he cheated on me.

624. So, there's that.

625. Well, the cheating part,

626. I'm not surprised.

627. Not trying to make

628. you feel bad,

629. honey, but come on,

630. the kid's a douchebag.

631. Dad, no.

632. As for the money...

633. I'll float you some money.

634. For professional development. Dad.

635. Call it a loan.

636. But do not pay me back.

637. And you'll stay here and commute until you can save for an apartment.

638. I can't make you

639. do any of that.

640. And you didn't.

641. It's what I want.

642. Are you hungry?

643. No, no. Sit. Sit, sit. Relax.

644. Yeah.

645. What would you like?

646. You don't need to

647. cook for me, Dad.

648. French toast, coming up!

649. Mmm-hmm.

650. Shh.

651. Why are they backing out?

652. This is a library.

653. You want to discuss that, go back to the IRC island.

654. They banned

655. me from the channel.

656. What happened?

657. We just owned Steel Mountain. We did our part and it went perfect.

658. Come on, we both know that shit didn't go perfect.

659. Well, it doesn't matter,

660. they called it off.

661. We pulled our side together and your side called it off like it was nothing.

662. You got your answer.

663. You better tell

664. your pal Whiterose

665. to stop being a pussy

666. and start growing a pair

667. because we don't have time to dilly-dally around.

668. And now you're gonna talk

669. about this in the world?

670. Do you even

671. care who hears you?

672. Face it, Darlene, it's over.

673. Walk away.

674. I can't go back to

675. my people with that.

676. Tell me why.

677. You said the Dark Army

678. was with us on this.

679. Between us?

680. I'm not about to goddamn tweet about it.

681. They were out before you ever got to Steel Mountain.

682. I don't know why. That's all they said to me.

683. I know you had your heart set, but for real this time, just let it go.

684. I meet suits, mostly.

685. No, I imagine it

686. must be exciting to

687. work in government.

688. It's like a spy movie.

689. Can you read my secret emails?

690. No. My job is mostly paperwork and bureaucracy.

691. They always want more than the technology allows.

692. I don't even have

693. time to read

694. your secret emails.

695. But it's a stopgap.

696. For me, I'm restless.

697. So, I'm always itching

698. for something else.

699. There have been a lot

700. of something elses.

701. For both of us. Mmm-hmm.

702. Before this, I worked at an NGO.

703. And before that

704. I worked at, um,

705. Microsoft for a year,

706. which felt like a decade.

707. Your place is beautiful.

708. I wish I could take

709. the compliment.

710. The decorating

711. is Scott's domain.

712. No? Really?

713. Yes.

714. Very nice.

715. Yeah.

716. Where's all the... The antiques from?

717. They're... They're...

718. So they tapped you

719. for CTO, yes?

720. Don't be surprised.

721. Suspicious is

722. more accurate.

723. I was beginning to wonder why you set this dinner.

724. Four people in the world know about my conversations.

725. And somehow,

726. you're number five.

727. Then I'm exactly what you need in a right hand.

728. So, that's what

729. this is about?

730. Isn't everything

731. about something?

732. Like we were thinking

733. about, is it baby-proof?

734. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's... That's a consideration.

735. If you were me,

736. would you trust you

737. as your right hand?

738. If I were you,

739. I wouldn't have even

740. let me in the house.

741. Hey.

742. Hey. It's me.

743. Is now a good time?

744. Yeah.

745. I'm at my new job.

746. How's it goin'?

747. Seriously,

748. it's hard as hell,

749. but I'm getting

750. the hang of it.

751. At first it took me, like,

752. years to marry ketchups,

753. but it turns out,

754. I'm amazing at upselling

755. expensive cocktails.

756. I'm not surprised.

757. And then when I have to put together to-go orders,

758. it's like bagging molly

759. so I'm like kind of an expert.

760. How are you?

761. I'm good.

762. Wow. I've never heard

763. you say a sentence

764. like that before, ever.

765. I did what I had to do today.

766. Well, if you're around

767. tonight, come over and

768. tell me about it. Okay?

769. I gotta go.

770. Okay, bye.

771. You seem to know how to drink your wine.

772. I indulge in few things.

773. But, I do love wine.

774. Yourself?

775. In my other life, when I could drink for one.

776. But, even then,

777. I had cheap tastes.

778. It's, uh, safe to smell, though. Put your nose in there.

779. You know, to me, it smells like every wine.

780. But I'd love to learn.

781. Uh-huh.

782. Dried red fruit.

783. Fresh violet.

784. Uh, lemon peel.

785. Try it again.

786. Smell. Really, really think about it.

787. Mmm, I do smell the lemon.

788. Sharon?

789. Yes?

790. How do you not

791. blow your brains out

792. being married to him?

793. Excuse me?

794. Shall I repeat the question?

795. You're a guest in our house.

796. A very honest one.

797. Wow.

798. I think I'll mistake

799. what you said

800. as a joke in poor taste and excuse myself to the bathroom.

801. Well, I have a beautiful

802. vintage over here.

803. I would love to just

804. show you the label.

805. Let's see here. Nope.

806. Nope.

807. There's the one.

808. This is my prized

809. possession, actually.

810. Take a look at this.

811. I'm in here.

812. Can I help you?

813. Thank you for

814. a lovely evening.

815. Siege and storm!

816. We got problems.

817. Is the Pi online?

818. Yeah, we're in

819. the whole system.

820. We could deliver the whole payload right now if we wanted.

821. And yet, I hear no applause. Then applaud.

822. You have to tell them.

823. What?

824. We lost China.

825. I'm sorry?

826. The Dark Army is bailing.

827. Why?

828. They don't answer

829. "whys," apparently.

830. That's no problem, we'll just call 'em back, we'll set up another meeting ASAP...

831. Dude, did you not hear me? They've gone dark. It's not happening.

832. I know, I know. I get it, okay, I fucked up.

833. Let's not wait, then.

834. Let's do it anyway.

835. Just us.

836. Let's do it.

837. Right now.

838. Okay? We execute now.

839. We execute on our side and trust that the Dark Army

840. gets their shit

841. together and follows.

842. Why do they get to dictate terms? We dictate terms.

843. Shh, shh, shh.

844. We can go now.

845. If we move forward and they

846. don't, China still holds all

847. the redundant information.

848. It will be pointless.

849. And if we wait, it'll also be pointless.

850. Everything you guys did today would be for nothing.

851. Ah, are you crazy!

852. It will have no effect!

853. It'll take down their

854. network for weeks.

855. They'll recover!

856. It would still hurt them.

857. We don't want to hurt them, we want to kill them.

858. And neither will happen if we do nothing, right now.

859. What are you doing? Huh?

860. Take another step,

861. and I'll do it.

862. Think about what you're doing.

863. Okay? All right?

864. In a month, they're gonna be up and running again with even better security.

865. We are not gonna

866. get another shot at this.

867. The revolution that

868. we've always talked

869. about will be gone.

870. Dead and buried.

871. We will have failed

872. because of you.

873. Please, do not do this.

874. Is there anyone here who can communicate with this woman?

875. Please.

876. Tell me it's okay to execute.

877. But we were so close.

878. It's not over.

879. We'll rework it. We'll figure something out.

880. We got this far,

881. we'll find a way.

882. Just not tonight.

883. This is all my fault.

884. Come on. You can

885. crash at my place.

886. My father picked me up

887. from school one day

888. and we played hooky

889. and went to the beach.

890. It was too cold

891. to go in the water

892. so we sat on a blanket

893. and ate pizza.

894. When I got home, my sneakers were full of sand

895. and I dumped it

896. on my bedroom floor.

897. I didn't know the

898. difference. I was six.

899. My mother screamed

900. at me for the mess.

901. But, he wasn't mad.

902. He said that billions of years ago the world shifting

903. and oceans moving

904. brought that sand to

905. that spot on the beach

906. and then I took it away.

907. "Every day, " he said,

908. "we change the world."

909. Which is a nice thought

910. until I think about how

911. many days and lifetimes

912. I would need to bring

913. a shoe full of sand home

914. until there is no beach.

915. Until it made

916. a difference to anyone.

917. Every day we change the world,

918. but to change the world in a way that means anything,

919. that takes more time

920. than most people have.

921. It never happens all at once.

922. It's slow. It's methodical. It's exhausting.

923. We don't all have

924. the stomach for it.

925. Hey, sweetie.

926. I'm gonna go for a run.

927. Nice.

928. Shayla's got the dog.

929. She doesn't shit

930. on her pillows.

931. That's a plus, I guess.

932. Shayla?

933. Hey, bro.

934. Sometimes, the universe

935. aligns perfectly.

936. Here I am, locked away,

937. but still, it brings

938. you right to me.
