teen pregnancy and the STDs.Copy !req
461. Do I look bad? I look bad, don't I?Copy !req
462. No, you look good.Copy !req
463. Why did you go, Michael?Copy !req

480. Oh, good. That clears things up. Thanks.Copy !req
481. It's hard to explain.Copy !req
482. I've been running for a long time now.Copy !req
483. Running?Copy !req
484. We were special together.Copy !req
485. That's what I thought.Copy !req
486. Yeah. I agree.Copy !req
487. But things kind of shifted.Copy !req
488. But just like completely suddenly?Copy !req
489. I was so pissed at you.
I was so fucking hurt.Copy !req
490. I didn't get out of bed for a year.Copy !req
491. Do you realise that?Copy !req
492. Jesus.Copy !req
493. I'm sorry.Copy !req
494. God, you drank that fast.Copy !req
495. I get a lot of practice.Copy !req
496. Listen, do you feel that you changed?Copy !req
497. I mean, do you feel that you changed?Copy !req
498. What are you talking about?Copy !req
499. I don't know. I don't know.Copy !req
500. Like, in any way?
Like, in any way did you change?Copy !req
501. Like, while we were together.Copy !req
502. Like, did I change you? Did you change?Copy !req
503. Did anything change?
Did a change occur? Did a...Copy !req
504. Michael, you're freaking me out.Copy !req
505. I can't take being more
freaked out right now.Copy !req
506. I'm sorry. I'm a mess. I'm just...Copy !req
507. Do you want to maybe
go up to my room for another drink?Copy !req
508. We could talk more privately.Copy !req
509. What?Copy !req
510. We're not going to fuck, Michael.Copy !req
511. I wasn't... I just...Copy !req
512. I'm just really bloody lonely,
and we had something.Copy !req
513. And I thought maybe we could
figure out what it was.Copy !req
514. You've got to be kidding.Copy !req
515. Oh, this isn't going well.Copy !req
516. I'll just get the check then. Miss?Copy !req
517. - Jesus. Wow. What?
- Miss?Copy !req
518. I can't... I can't believe you.Copy !req
519. Fuck you, Michael. Fuck off.Copy !req
520. Bella! I'm just trying to understand!Copy !req
521. Isn't that Michael Stone?Copy !req
522. It's Michael Stone, yes.Copy !req
523. and the next minute
you're out the doorCopy !req
524. with barely a goodbye.Copy !req
525. Have a good fucking life, Michael.Copy !req
526. Love, Bella.Copy !req
527. Hello. May I help you?Copy !req
528. Hello there.Copy !req
529. I am looking for a toy for my son, Henry.Copy !req
530. Perhaps you've
heard of him, he's a pirate.Copy !req
531. Oh.Copy !req
532. Oh, dear, this is
not quite the store I expected.Copy !req
533. No, I suppose not those kind of toys.Copy !req
534. It's not my night.Copy !req
535. What's that behind you?Copy !req
536. Oh, that?
That's an antique. It's Japanese.Copy !req

576. Do you want to come in?Copy !req
577. I was just looking for someone.Copy !req
578. I think I've got the wrong...Copy !req
579. Who's there, Em?Copy !req
580. It's Mr Stone! Michael Stone!Copy !req
581. Really?Copy !req
582. Oh, my God.Copy !req
583. Hello!Copy !req
584. Oh! Do I look awful?
I was just taking my makeup off.Copy !req
585. Oh, my God. Ugh. Don't look at me.Copy !req
586. Hello.Copy !req
587. No, you look lovely.Copy !req
588. I can't believe you're in our room.Copy !req
589. We came here from Akron
just to hear you speak.Copy !req
590. Oh, my God. Please don't look at me.Copy !req
591. Well, I'm certainly very flattered.Copy !req
592. - You can look at me.
- Emily.Copy !req
593. Is there something we can do for you?Copy !req
594. I mean...
I don't mean that in a weird way.Copy !req
595. Although... No, I'm kidding!Copy !req
596. I'm just... Oh, my God.Copy !req
597. Oh! I was...Copy !req
598. I was trying to find my friend.Copy !req
599. I thought this was his room. And...Copy !req
600. Oh, nope.Copy !req
601. Nope. Unless he's
hiding under the bed!Copy !req
602. We think you're super-brilliant.Copy !req
603. - We both read your book.
- Oh!Copy !req
604. Yay for your book!Copy !req
605. Thank you.Copy !req
606. Are you ladies in customer services?Copy !req
607. - Well, yes, as a matter of fact.
- Mmm-hmm. Uh-huh.Copy !req
608. We're both team leaders
in a phone room.Copy !req
609. We read your bookCopy !req
610. and productivity went up
90% in our department.Copy !req
611. You're so smart.Copy !req
612. I'm not sure I should even
say words in front of you,Copy !req
613. because you'll see how dumb I am.Copy !req
614. Shut up, Lisa.Copy !req
615. No, don't. Don't shut up, Lisa.Copy !req
616. You have a miraculous voice.Copy !req
617. Oh, God, no!Copy !req
618. Yick. Me?Copy !req
619. Yick. No way. No way.Copy !req
620. Lisa, you're being nuts.Copy !req
621. Say, would you ladies like to
get a drink at the bar, maybe?Copy !req
622. We could chat.Copy !req
623. Talk about phone system innovations.Copy !req
624. Oh, um...Copy !req
625. Um, yeah! I think
we could manage that. Right, Lisa?Copy !req
626. Do you need to find your friend, though?Copy !req
627. No.Copy !req
628. Two beautiful ladies trumps my friend.Copy !req
629. Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much!Copy !req
630. I'm blushing.Copy !req
631. Yes, thank you so much!Copy !req
632. I'm blushing, too.Copy !req
633. I can't believe we bumped into you.Copy !req
634. You know, we sprung for this hotelCopy !req
635. because this is like
a mini-vacation for us.Copy !req
636. We can't even afford it.Copy !req
637. But look what happened!Copy !req
638. It's so worth it.Copy !req
639. Oh.Copy !req
640. I love this song.Copy !req
641. How I long to be near...Copy !req
642. Shut up, Lisa.Copy !req
643. I even got a massage
tonight in the room!Copy !req
644. Mmm.Copy !req
645. It's good to splurge every now and again.Copy !req
646. Emily and I work for Tessman in Akron.Copy !req
647. We're only customer service reps,Copy !req
648. so you can imagine our salaries.Copy !req
649. - Tessman?
- Tessman Foods.Copy !req
650. We make packaged bakery items
shipped all over the Midwest.Copy !req
651. Nibble-O's,Copy !req
652. Choco-bricks,Copy !req
653. Apple-Flats, Strawberry Trifles,Copy !req
654. Knick-Knacks, Scroochies?Copy !req
655. Oh, yes. Yes. Splendid.Copy !req
656. I'm familiar.Copy !req
657. Brownie Balls, don't forget.Copy !req
658. Brownie Balls. Yeah, they're new.Copy !req
659. Hello again.
What can I get you?Copy !req
660. Oh, hi.Copy !req
661. Uh, do you ladies know what you want?Copy !req
662. Um, I'll have an apple mojito, please.Copy !req
663. Can you make those
with apple schnapps?Copy !req
664. Yum. Yum. Yum.Copy !req
665. I think probably.Copy !req
666. That sounds really, really good.Copy !req
667. I'll have the same.Copy !req
668. And for you, sir?Copy !req
669. Belvedere martini,Copy !req
670. dry, straight-up, twist.Copy !req
671. I'll be back in a minute.Copy !req
672. So, what do you ladies do for fun?Copy !req
673. Besides drinking?Copy !req
674. - Emily, stop! God!
- Hey!Copy !req
675. Well, I like to drink.Copy !req
676. I do, too! But we do lots of other things.Copy !req
677. - We hike and bike ride.
- Yeah.Copy !req
678. I love to read. Go to the movies.Copy !req
679. I'm pretty good at Scrabble.Copy !req
680. - Strip poker.
- Um... Emily!Copy !req
681. Have you two been friends long?Copy !req
682. Since junior high.Copy !req
683. Oh, I play the Jew's harp a little.Copy !req
684. I don't like to say "Jew's harp"Copy !req
685. because it's offensive to Jews.Copy !req
686. Anyway, I bought
one of those, um, self-teaching...Copy !req
687. Self-teaching?Copy !req
688. Is that right?Copy !req
689. Or is it self-learning?Copy !req
690. The Jew's harp
is an underrated instrument.Copy !req
691. I know!Copy !req
692. People think of it as
just this thing, you know?Copy !req
693. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
694. Here we are, folks. Two apple mojitos.Copy !req
695. - Thank you.
- Mmm. Thanks.Copy !req
696. You're welcome. And one more
Belvedere martini for the gentleman.Copy !req

704. Are you sure? I think...Copy !req
705. No, I want to press it! Darn it.Copy !req
706. Sorry. My hand just jumped.Copy !req
707. I love pressing the buttons.Copy !req
708. I'm sorry.Copy !req
709. You always get
to press it, Lisa. Don't be greedy.Copy !req
710. I know. 'Cause I love it.Copy !req
711. It's so... I don't know...Copy !req
712. Buttony. No, that's not it.Copy !req
713. Mmm, buttonish?Copy !req
714. Is it stupid to like to press buttons?Copy !req
715. Shut up, Lisa.Copy !req
716. Pressing buttons is good clean fun.Copy !req
717. Exactly! That's exactly right.Copy !req
718. See, Em?Copy !req
719. It was nice getting to meet you ladies.Copy !req
720. Oh, it was an honor
spending time with you.Copy !req

739. Uh...Copy !req
740. I was wondering if maybe you'd wantCopy !req
741. to come to my room for a little nightcap.Copy !req
742. Oh.Copy !req
743. I feel odd asking in front of you, Emily.Copy !req
744. But I didn't know how else...Copy !req
745. No, no. That's okay.Copy !req
746. I understand.Copy !req
747. You sure you don't mean Emily?Copy !req
748. Everyone always likes Emily better.Copy !req
749. Uh...Copy !req
750. Ugh. This is awkward.Copy !req
751. I'm going to the room, Lisa.Copy !req
752. I'll see you later maybe. Have fun.Copy !req
753. Em, I came here with you.Copy !req

766. I'm okay, I'm okay.Copy !req
767. It happens all the time.Copy !req
768. Mmm?Copy !req
769. Oh.Copy !req
770. Look how neat you left your room,Copy !req
771. with the little slippers
laid out next to the bedCopy !req
772. and the blanket turned down
all ready for sleepy time.Copy !req
773. No, the maid did that.Copy !req
774. They come and fix it up at night.Copy !req
775. It's called turn-down service.Copy !req
776. Oh, God. I'm so embarrassed.Copy !req
777. Lisa the moron. I don't...Copy !req
778. I don't stay in hotels like this.Copy !req
779. Emily and I splurged,
because it's like a vacation.Copy !req
780. - I'm an idiot.
- No, you're not.Copy !req
781. Would you like a drink?Copy !req
782. Yes, please. I would really like a drink.Copy !req
783. I don't think I can
make an apple mojito. I can order one.Copy !req
784. No, that's okay.Copy !req
785. I'll just have a glass of wine, please.Copy !req
786. I'm glad to get you alone for a while.Copy !req
787. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
788. You don't like Emily?Copy !req
789. Everybody likes Emily.Copy !req
790. Emily's a prince.Copy !req
791. Ess.Copy !req
792. Emily's a princess.Copy !req
793. She's very nice.Copy !req
794. I just feltCopy !req
795. a sort of special thing with you.Copy !req
796. Really? Hmm.Copy !req
797. Most people like Emily.Copy !req
798. - Thank you.
- Here you go.Copy !req
799. Thank you.Copy !req
800. Most people don't
really like to look at me too muchCopy !req
801. because, you know...Copy !req
802. I think you're lovely.Copy !req
803. No, you don't.Copy !req
804. I've always done phone work
because I'd never get hiredCopy !req
805. to work in a store or a restaurant or...Copy !req
806. How did it happen?Copy !req
807. If it's okay for me to ask?Copy !req
808. I don't, um...Copy !req
809. I don't like to talk about it.Copy !req
810. May I kiss you there?Copy !req
811. Oh, my God.Copy !req
812. Oh, my God. No.Copy !req
813. Oh, God.Copy !req
814. Sorry.Copy !req
815. You're not like a pervert or something?Copy !req
816. Like some weird version
of a chubby chaser?Copy !req
817. No.Copy !req
818. I just don't understand
why you would want to kiss me there.Copy !req
819. Because...Copy !req
820. Because I like you.Copy !req
821. Oh.Copy !req
822. Why?Copy !req
823. I mean, I'm not
smart like Emily. And I'm ugly.Copy !req
824. You're a really smart guy.
You should like Emily.Copy !req
825. I don't even understand
a lot of the words in your book.Copy !req
826. I sat there with a dictionary.Copy !req
827. I try to learn.
But I'm never going to be smart.Copy !req
828. And I'm ugly.Copy !req
829. I find it enormously charmingCopy !req
830. that you read any book
with a dictionary next to you.Copy !req
831. My last boyfriend was eight years ago.Copy !req
832. And he wasn't even my boyfriend.Copy !req
833. He was almost 60 and fatCopy !req
834. and he worked in Human ResourcesCopy !req
835. and he had a wife
and his daughter was older than me.Copy !req
836. And the only reason he pursued meCopy !req
837. was because he thought
he'd have a good shot.Copy !req
838. Which he did.Copy !req
839. I think you're extraordinary.Copy !req
840. Why?Copy !req
841. I don't know yet.Copy !req
842. It's just obvious to me that you are.Copy !req
843. I never went to college.Copy !req
844. I've never even made it past
team leader in my department.Copy !req
845. Your voice is likeCopy !req
846. magic.Copy !req
847. Oh, really?Copy !req
848. Wow.Copy !req
849. Well, you know, I have been doingCopy !req
850. phone work for a really long time now,Copy !req
851. so I pride myself on sounding
pleasant and professional,Copy !req
852. and having a pleasing
phone voice and manner.Copy !req
853. It works. Do you sing?Copy !req
854. What? No.Copy !req
855. No! God!Copy !req
856. You're weird!Copy !req
857. I mean, I sing. Everybody sings.Copy !req
858. I just don't sing well.Copy !req
859. I sometimes sing along with the radio.Copy !req
860. I love Cyndi Lauper.Copy !req
861. Because she's got such a great voiceCopy !req
862. and she doesn't care
what people think about her.Copy !req
863. She's just herself,
and that takes a lot of courage.Copy !req
864. I admire that. You know what I mean?Copy !req
865. Yeah. I think so.Copy !req
866. Would you sing one of her songs for me?Copy !req
867. No!Copy !req
868. Come on.Copy !req
869. Come on. It'd make me so
happy to hear you sing.Copy !req
870. - You're being weird.
- Please.Copy !req
871. It'll make me happy.Copy !req
872. I don't know.Copy !req
873. Okay, crazy man.Copy !req
874. Just a little.Copy !req
875. Okay, here goes.Copy !req
876. Don't laugh at me!Copy !req

904. It was beautiful.Copy !req
905. It's such a great song.Copy !req
906. "I want to be the one
who walks in the sun."Copy !req
907. That describes so perfectly
who I want to be.Copy !req
908. You're so sensitive, Michael.
It's incredibly sweet.Copy !req
909. It's your voice, Lisa.Copy !req
910. Keep talking. Tell me everything.Copy !req
911. You're, like, amazing.Copy !req
912. Why are you doing this?
Are you making fun of me?Copy !req
913. No. No.Copy !req
914. Oh, God.Copy !req
915. Oh, my God.Copy !req
916. Thank you.Copy !req
917. Will you...Copy !req
918. Will you kiss me again?Copy !req
919. I hope to.Copy !req
920. I hope you do, too.Copy !req
921. Sometime.Copy !req
922. Oh.Copy !req
923. I haven't been
with anybody in eight years.Copy !req
924. Let's just lie togetherCopy !req
925. and you can tell me about your day.Copy !req
926. Yes. Okay.Copy !req
927. Um...Copy !req
928. Well, Em picked
me up at, like, 7:00 this morningCopy !req
929. so we could drive down here.Copy !req
930. We stopped at StarbucksCopy !req
931. and I got a Grande Mocha Frappuccino.Copy !req
932. Emily got a Grande Chai.Copy !req
933. I looked at the road atlas and figuredCopy !req
934. it's a little over 200 miles,Copy !req
935. so at 60 miles an hour,
we could do it in under four hoursCopy !req
936. with bathroom breaks and whatever.Copy !req
937. The 71 goes pretty
much straight here, so it was easy.Copy !req
938. We listened to
a lot of No Doubt, which Em likes.Copy !req
939. And I brought my Sarah Brightman CDs.Copy !req
940. She sings this beautiful version ofCopy !req
941. Girls Just Want to Have Fun in Italian.Copy !req
942. It's called Le Ragazze Vogliono Meglio.Copy !req
943. Do you want to hear it?Copy !req
944. Please.Copy !req
945. Very pretty.Copy !req
946. Oh, my God, it is.Copy !req
947. I want to learn
Italian someday. It's so wonderful.Copy !req
948. It's just so romantic.Copy !req
949. Keep talking.Copy !req
950. Um...Copy !req
951. I like different languages.Copy !req
952. I love French and Italian the most.Copy !req
953. I don't like German.
It sounds mean to me.Copy !req
954. All those "ach's."Copy !req
955. And I love Japanese, obviously.Copy !req
956. Oh, I love Portuguese.Copy !req
957. I love to listen to Brazilian singers.Copy !req
958. They sing in
Portuguese in Brazil, a little-known fact.Copy !req
959. It's kind of weirdCopy !req
960. because it's the
only country in South AmericaCopy !req
961. where they sing in Portuguese.Copy !req
962. - It's an anomaly, right?
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
963. I learned that word in your book.Copy !req
964. I like that word.Copy !req
965. Anomaly. I like the way it soundsCopy !req
966. and I like what it means.Copy !req
967. I feel like an anomaly.Copy !req
968. Before I used to know
there was a word for it,Copy !req
969. it made me feel bad to be different.Copy !req
970. Now I kind of like it. Sometimes.Copy !req
971. I mean, not a lot, but sometimes.Copy !req
972. It makes me special, sort of.Copy !req
973. You know what I mean?Copy !req
974. Anomalisa.Copy !req
975. Oh, I love that!Copy !req
976. It's like "anomaly" plus my name.Copy !req
977. Will you call me that all the time?Copy !req
978. I guess it's long to say "all the time."Copy !req
979. I mean, I guess I'm assumingCopy !req
980. there is going to be an "all the time."Copy !req
981. There's not going to be an
"all the time," is there?Copy !req
982. It's just now.
Some weird thing for just now.Copy !req
983. It's okay, though.
It's really nice for just now.Copy !req
984. It's an anomaly.Copy !req
985. Sorry. What? Did I tickle you?Copy !req
986. - Just a little.
- Sorry.Copy !req
987. It's okay.Copy !req
988. Just right there I'm a little ticklish.Copy !req
989. Okay. I won't touch you there.Copy !req
990. - No, you can. It's okay.
- No.Copy !req
991. - It's okay.
- No, it's okay.Copy !req
992. Do you talk during sex?Copy !req
993. God! I don't know!Copy !req
994. It's been a long time.Copy !req
995. Do you want me to? Or not?
I could do either.Copy !req
996. If you could.Copy !req
997. Or just, you know,Copy !req
998. make some noises.Copy !req
999. Noises?Copy !req
1000. Like moaning or something.Copy !req
1001. Oh. Okay. I could do that.Copy !req
1002. That's nice.Copy !req
1003. Does this feel okay?Copy !req
1004. Yes. Sorry. I'm just... I'm a little shy.Copy !req
1005. Oh, it's fine.Copy !req
1006. Ouch!Copy !req
1007. - My hair.
- Sorry. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1008. - It's okay. I'm sorry.
- It's okay.Copy !req
1009. Maybe if we can just
turn a little bit like this?Copy !req
1010. Sure.Copy !req
1011. - Is that better?
- Much.Copy !req
1012. Good.Copy !req
1013. You feel so good.Copy !req
1014. You do, too.Copy !req
1015. Oh. Oh.Copy !req
1016. What? You don't want that?Copy !req
1017. No, I'm just, um...Copy !req
1018. I'm kind of shy about that, too.Copy !req
1019. Don't be shy.
It'll be good. I really want to.Copy !req
1020. Okay.Copy !req
1021. Okay, go ahead.Copy !req
1022. You're being quiet. Is it not good?Copy !req
1023. No, it's fine. It's good. It's, um...Copy !req
1024. Just a little bit
more gentle maybe. At first, maybe.Copy !req
1025. - Sorry.
- It's okay.Copy !req
1026. Better?Copy !req
1027. Yes.Copy !req
1028. Could you come up here, please?Copy !req
1029. Ahh!Copy !req
1030. That was really nice.Copy !req
1031. Uh-huh.Copy !req
1032. I don't want to lose you.Copy !req
1033. I lose everyone.Copy !req
1034. What do you mean?Copy !req
1035. I don't know.Copy !req
1036. It doesn't matter.Copy !req
1037. Oh.Copy !req

1048. to chat for a few moments?Copy !req

1066. Thank you
for coming, Mr Stone.Copy !req
1067. It's over here.Copy !req
1068. It's big, I know.Copy !req
1069. They offered me 300 square
on the fifth floor or this down here.Copy !req
1070. Not a hard decision, right?Copy !req
1071. Take the golf cart. That's what it's for.Copy !req
1072. Watch out for
the sunken meeting area.Copy !req
1073. No, no, you can just go around those.Copy !req
1074. No, don't try to drive through.Copy !req
1075. There. There you are.Copy !req
1076. Ah.Copy !req
1077. Have a seat.Copy !req
1078. Do you like the fish?
I just had them put in.Copy !req
1079. Salt water tanks.
They're hard to maintain.Copy !req
1080. Those are leprechaun fish.Copy !req
1081. The ones with the sort of Irish faces.Copy !req
1082. Is there some problem?Copy !req
1083. - No, sir. It's nothing like that.
- What then?Copy !req
1084. Nothing.Copy !req
1085. Excuse me?Copy !req
1086. It's just...Copy !req
1087. What?Copy !req
1088. Well...Copy !req
1089. Please, I have a conference to attend.Copy !req
1090. Oh, yes, of course. "Customer Service."Copy !req
1091. And I've read your book myself.Copy !req
1092. Hotel productivity up 90%.Copy !req
1093. You and I are in the
same business, really,Copy !req
1094. when you come down to it.Copy !req
1095. Service. Wouldn't you agree?Copy !req
1096. Yes.Copy !req
1097. Anyway, I don't know
how to put this, so I'll just put it.Copy !req
1098. I understand that you had a
guest in your room last night.Copy !req
1099. Is that a crime?Copy !req
1100. No, not at all.Copy !req
1101. Certainly, hoteliers
are in the business of being discreetCopy !req
1102. about our guests' philandering.Copy !req
1103. Philandering?Copy !req
1104. No, it isn't that. My choice of words...Copy !req
1105. it's not about that at all.Copy !req
1106. How do you even know that, anyway?Copy !req
1107. Well, I...Copy !req
1108. Mr Stone, may I be candid with you?Copy !req
1109. I guess.Copy !req
1110. I don't know
what the hell you're getting at.Copy !req
1111. Well, I, um...Copy !req
1112. Um...Copy !req
1113. I love you.Copy !req
1114. Right, I'm leaving.Copy !req
1115. No, no. Look.
I've never talked to you like this before.Copy !req
1116. It has not been appropriate.Copy !req
1117. Perhaps it's not still,Copy !req
1118. but I've been unable
to contain myself this morning.Copy !req
1119. I love you. And I want what's best for you.Copy !req
1120. And if you need
to have an affair, I understand,Copy !req
1121. but have it with me.Copy !req
1122. Goodbye.Copy !req
1123. Have it with
anyone at all, anybody,Copy !req
1124. just not Lisa.Copy !req
1125. No. Wait!Copy !req
1126. We're all here for you.
We're all one for you.Copy !req
1127. Come back!Copy !req
1128. Do you like
any of these here? They're very pretty.Copy !req
1129. That one's Stephanie.Copy !req
1130. Stephanie, say hello to Mr Stone.Copy !req
1131. Hello. You can fuck me
if you want, Mr Stone.Copy !req
1132. Or me.Copy !req
1133. Any of us.Copy !req
1134. Just not Lisa.Copy !req
1135. Not Lisa!Copy !req
1136. Lisa.Copy !req
1137. Whoa!Copy !req
1138. Lisa!Copy !req
1139. Here's your breakfast, Mr Stone.Copy !req
1140. Whoa!Copy !req
1141. Lisa!Copy !req
1142. Lisa! Lisa!Copy !req
1143. Yes? Oh, hello, Michael.Copy !req
1144. Where...Copy !req
1145. Where is she, Emily?Copy !req
1146. - She's not here.
- Michael?Copy !req
1147. - Lisa, let's go!
- What?Copy !req
1148. Lisa, don't go with him. He's insane.Copy !req
1149. What's going on?Copy !req
1150. I don't have the time
to tell you. Just come!Copy !req
1151. Where are you taking me?
Em, what's going on?Copy !req
1152. Oh, for God's sake. Lisa, pull free from
him and come back here.Copy !req
1153. Where are you
going to go, Michael? Be reasonable.Copy !req
1154. There's nowhere to go.Copy !req
1155. - Oh! You're hurting me.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
1156. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1157. I had to get you away. You weren't safe.Copy !req
1158. Safe from what?
What are you talking about?Copy !req
1159. They don't want us to be together.Copy !req
1160. I think they'll kill you if they need to.Copy !req
1161. - Michael?
- They explained it to me.Copy !req
1162. The hotel manager,
he explained it to me.Copy !req
1163. They're all one person and they love me.Copy !req
1164. Everyone is one person, but you and me.Copy !req
1165. You're the only other person in the world!Copy !req
1166. Really?Copy !req
1167. That's so beautiful.Copy !req
1168. I'm going to cry.Copy !req
1169. No, we need to stay together. Forever.Copy !req
1170. To protect each other,
to nurture each other.Copy !req
1171. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, that's... Are you sure?Copy !req
1172. Yes.Copy !req
1173. Yes. Finally. Finally, I've found you.Copy !req
1174. I've waited so long for someone to...Copy !req
1175. And you're so smart.Copy !req
1176. We have to get out of here.Copy !req
1177. - My clothes. My stuff.
- We'll get new.Copy !req
1178. Your wife and son.Copy !req
1179. They don't exist. They're just them.Copy !req
1180. - Michael? Michael?
- Michael? Michael?Copy !req
1181. - Michael? Michael?
- Michael?Copy !req
1182. Michael?Copy !req
1183. - Michael!
- Oh.Copy !req
1184. You're having a nightmare or something.Copy !req
1185. Oh, man.Copy !req
1186. You were thrashing.Copy !req
1187. You hit me in the face with your elbow.Copy !req
1188. Oh, I'm sorry.Copy !req
1189. Oh, it's okay.Copy !req
1190. I kind of liked it. It's kind of intimate.Copy !req
1191. Oh, okay, then. Stick around.Copy !req
1192. I'm sure you'll
get more of those. I'm a sloppy sleeper.Copy !req
1193. You're all sweaty.Copy !req
1194. What was the dream?Copy !req
1195. I don't know.Copy !req
1196. Something about the hotel manager.Copy !req
1197. Are you hungry?
We could order breakfast.Copy !req
1198. I have to get ready for this speech.Copy !req
1199. Can I have scrambled eggs?Copy !req
1200. Sure.Copy !req
1201. I love eggs. Scrambled is
my favourite egg style.Copy !req
1202. What about yours?Copy !req
1203. Mmm!Copy !req
1204. These eggs are delicious.Copy !req
1205. They're scrambled perfectly.
Do you want to try some?Copy !req
1206. No. Now here's what I'm thinking.Copy !req
1207. Yes?Copy !req
1208. I want to be with you.Copy !req
1209. What do you mean?Copy !req
1210. I need to be with you.
I want to leave my wife.Copy !req
1211. Really?Copy !req
1212. Michael, that's a big decision. I don't...Copy !req
1213. No, no, no,Copy !req
1214. it's something I have to do.
I mean, if you're interested.Copy !req
1215. I mean, yeah. I mean, it's awfully sudden.Copy !req
1216. I mean, I don't want to be responsibleCopy !req
1217. for breaking up a marriage.Copy !req
1218. Do we need to decide now?Copy !req
1219. It's been years
since I've felt anything like this.Copy !req
1220. It's like a floodgate has opened.Copy !req
1221. I can't close it. I don't want to. I love you.Copy !req
1222. Okay. Um...Copy !req
1223. I don't know. It seems so big and...Copy !req
1224. Oh, gosh, okay. Yeah, let's do it.Copy !req
1225. Great! This is so great!Copy !req
1226. Anomalisa.Copy !req
1227. So, I'll call Donna and tell her.Copy !req
1228. No, maybe I should
go and see her, right?Copy !req
1229. Yeah, that sounds right.Copy !req
1230. I think that's such an important...Copy !req
1231. Could you not...Copy !req
1232. You're clicking your fork
against your teeth.Copy !req
1233. Could you not do that?Copy !req
1234. Oh, sorry.Copy !req
1235. People have told me that before.Copy !req
1236. I know, it's a stupid unconscious habit.Copy !req
1237. It's okay. Anyway, you were saying?Copy !req
1238. Mmm. Just that I think
it's more respectful.Copy !req
1239. And you need to speak to HenryCopy !req
1240. and explain that this isn't about him.Copy !req
1241. But it is. It's about him, too.Copy !req
1242. Oh.Copy !req
1243. Well, don't tell him that.
He's just a little boy.Copy !req
1244. Yeah. You're right.Copy !req
1245. You're being
a little controlling, don't you think?Copy !req
1246. I don't mean to. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1247. No, that's okay.Copy !req
1248. Good. I'm glad...Copy !req
1249. Please don't talk
with food hanging out of your mouth.Copy !req
1250. - Oh, sorry. I'm a pig. Sorry.
- No.Copy !req
1251. No, no, no. It's okay.Copy !req
1252. So, will you live in Los Angeles,Copy !req
1253. or do you need to stay in Ohio?Copy !req
1254. Um... I'm sorry. Hold on.Copy !req
1255. I can move to Los Angeles.
I could do that.Copy !req
1256. Good.Copy !req
1257. We should
go to the zoo today after your speech.Copy !req
1258. I hear it's really good.Copy !req
1259. They have breeding programsCopy !req
1260. for all these endangered species.Copy !req
1261. I'm sorry, what did you say?Copy !req
1262. Oh.
They have breeding programsCopy !req
1263. for all these endangered species.Copy !req
1264. So you get to see things like pandas,Copy !req
1265. which I think are awfully cute.Copy !req
1266. They're not really
bears, I read.Copy !req
1267. Yeah. Sure. That sounds fine.Copy !req
1268. What is it?Copy !req
1269. Nothing. The zoo sounds good.Copy !req
1270. My stomach hurts.
It feels empty. It's clenched.Copy !req
1271. Oh.Copy !req
1272. Well, eat some more waffle maybe?Copy !req
1273. Did I do something wrong?Copy !req
1274. I'm sorry. Darling.Copy !req
1275. It's okay.Copy !req
1276. I'm anxious about my speech, I suppose.Copy !req
1277. Of course.Copy !req
1278. Well, we'll have fun after.Copy !req
1279. We don't have to go to the zoo.Copy !req
1280. We can just hang out here.Copy !req
1281. I have the whole weekend
till I have to get back to work.Copy !req
1282. That's great.Copy !req
1283. I'm so happy, Michael.Copy !req
1284. I've waited for
someone like you my whole life.Copy !req
1285. I've waited, too.Copy !req
1286. We'll work it all out, right?Copy !req
1287. Yes. Who would've thunk it?
It's just so beautiful.Copy !req
1288. Life can be.Copy !req
1289. Things can work out. That's the lesson.Copy !req
1290. Sometimes there's no lesson.
That's a lesson in itself.Copy !req
1291. I guess so.Copy !req
1292. I feel anxious, Michael.Copy !req
1293. I feel something.
Like you're different-acting.Copy !req
1294. Me? No, no, no.
Everything's fine. I'm just...Copy !req
1295. I know.Copy !req
1296. I'm not great to look at in bright sunlight.Copy !req
1297. No, you're very pretty.Copy !req
1298. Okay.Copy !req
1299. So, we could maybe go out for a walkCopy !req
1300. - and talk or something.
- Yes.Copy !req
1301. So I'll see you after?Copy !req
1302. Of course.Copy !req
1303. And...Copy !req
1304. Uh...Copy !req
1305. Always remember,
the customer is an individual.Copy !req
1306. Just like you.Copy !req
1307. Each person you speak to has had a day.Copy !req
1308. Some of their days
have been good, some bad,Copy !req
1309. but they've all had one.Copy !req
1310. Each person you speak to
has had a childhood.Copy !req
1311. Each has a body.Copy !req
1312. Each body has aches.Copy !req
1313. What is it to be human?Copy !req
1314. What is it to ache?Copy !req
1315. What is it to be alive?Copy !req
1316. I don't know.Copy !req
1317. What is it to ache? I don't know.Copy !req
1318. What is it to be alive? I don't know.Copy !req
1319. Uh, yes. "How do I talk to a customer?"Copy !req
1320. How do I talk to a customer?Copy !req
1321. These are the important questionsCopy !req
1322. for a customer service representative.Copy !req
1323. What do I say?
Do I smile while I'm on the phone?Copy !req
1324. Well, they can tell if you're smilingCopy !req
1325. even if they can't see you.Copy !req
1326. Did you know that?Copy !req
1327. Try it as an experiment
on the phone with a friend.Copy !req
