1. Look, I didn't— I didn't
mean it to be this way.Copy !req
2. This— Every— The reasons why
I'm leaving are on this tape.Copy !req
3. It points out the six
points of why I think...Copy !req
4. our relationship is doomed
and why I'm leaving it.Copy !req
5. You can watch it later.
I was gonna mail it...Copy !req
6. but now— I'll just
give it to you now.Copy !req
7. Are you taking your VCR, or
did you leave that upstairs?Copy !req
8. I bought the VCR! I'm taking my VCR!Copy !req
9. I bought— It's the
only thing I'm taking.Copy !req
10. What is that on top of the car?Copy !req
11. Is that a futon on top of the car?Copy !req
12. That's— That's our
futon. That's my futon.Copy !req
13. I'm takin' the— Can I
please take the futon?Copy !req
14. Please?Copy !req
15. - Violence is not the answer!
- Get in the car!Copy !req
16. Don't be drivin' back here
in a couple days, okay?Copy !req
17. I'm not going through this
over and over and over.Copy !req
18. I-I-I'm not—
That's on the tape.Copy !req
19. I-I think that's point
number four on the tape...Copy !req
20. because I have my vision,
you have your vision...Copy !req
21. and I'm leaving, because
the Tantoonis need me.Copy !req
22. - The who?
- The Tantoonis.Copy !req
23. - What is— - It's an Indian
tribe. It was in the newspaper.Copy !req
24. It was on CNN! You don't even watch TV.Copy !req
25. You don't read the paper. You don't
know what's going on in the world!Copy !req
26. That's one of my
reasons. That's point one!Copy !req
27. - You can't just walk out, Sean.
- Listen, listen.Copy !req
28. I'm gonna go, and I'm not coming back.Copy !req
29. - Take Fidel.
- Please take Fidel.Copy !req
30. I'm not taking Fidel, Sean.
I'm not taking your fucking cat!Copy !req
31. I don't have the time and
energy to take care of the cat.Copy !req
32. I have to go and get
something accomplished.Copy !req
33. That cat will be in the
way— Ow! I am a man of peace!Copy !req
34. You are a woman of violence.
I'm not a man like that.Copy !req
35. And you're turning me into that man— That's
like point number eight. I don't know—Copy !req
36. - Hi. Good night.
- Good night, Erin. Have a good night.Copy !req
37. Dr. Kravitz, you have a
visitor in the main lobby.Copy !req
38. Dr. Kravitz, a visitor
in the main lobby.Copy !req
39. Do you guys know Bob, that
security guard from the lobby?Copy !req
40. - Mmm, he's really something, huh?
- Yeah.Copy !req
41. He asked me to go to this little
soiree with him on Saturday...Copy !req
42. to the aquarium, 'cause that's where
he used to work, and then yesterday...Copy !req
43. he drops, like he mentions,
that Rick hit on him last summer.Copy !req
44. Oh, he didn't say that! I only flirted.Copy !req
45. It was his uniform. I couldn't resist!Copy !req
46. I know, but the thing is...Copy !req
47. he said some really mean and nasty things
about you, and it made me feel really bad.Copy !req
48. All right, so he's a homophobic prick.Copy !req
49. So what else is new? Story of my life.Copy !req
50. I already said yes, that I would go.Copy !req
51. - You left me the witches' costume?
- Honey, it's you!Copy !req
52. - Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
- You're confused, honey.Copy !req
53. What would you do if you were me, Erin?Copy !req
54. Well, you want to get out of it?Copy !req
55. Yeah.Copy !req
56. Tell Bob that you're meeting...Copy !req
57. a friend and her "date" at the party.Copy !req
58. When her date doesn't show up, she
gets really upset, she wants to leave.Copy !req
59. You need to take her home,
and then you're out. That's it.Copy !req
60. It's really simple. Men
are really easy to trick.Copy !req
61. - Or treat—you witch! - That's
perfect! I need a friend, though.Copy !req
62. I have no friends, so, Erin, will you
please go with me and be my friend?Copy !req
63. - No. I hate parties.
- Yes! You always have a reason. Please come with me?Copy !req
64. Oh, Erin, you have just got to go!Copy !req
65. I mean, what man could resist
the wicked witch of the west wing?Copy !req
66. - Listen, my mother is
in town this weekend.Copy !req
67. - I don't have any time. I have to be with her.
- Yeah, okay, well.Copy !req
68. Wait a minute. My mother
is in town this weekend.Copy !req
69. Yeah, I'll go.Copy !req
70. Oh, thank you!Copy !req
71. Trick or treat!Copy !req
72. Mama! Mama!Copy !req
73. Oh, oh, honey!Copy !req
74. Mama!Copy !req
75. - I want my daddy!
- Mama!Copy !req
76. Daddy!Copy !req
77. - I found it.
- You haven't got much Wordsworth, have you?Copy !req
78. - No.
- I'll let you have that one half price.Copy !req
79. - Oh, shoot!
- Got it?Copy !req
80. - Yep.
- There you go. No, no, no.Copy !req
81. Don't close it. You should never close a
book until you've read something from it.Copy !req
82. - What?
- Just a sentence or a word. It can be very, very revealing.Copy !req
83. Just read something, anything.
Read from the top, then.Copy !req
84. "When from our better selves we have too
long been parted by the hurrying world...Copy !req
85. and droop, sick of its business, of
its pleasures tired, how gracious...Copy !req
86. how benign is Solitude."Copy !req
87. Hi, it's Mom. I fly in at
9:30 tomorrow morning...Copy !req
88. so I'll see you at the gate.Copy !req
89. Hope we can have a little fun tomorrow
night. Kick up our heels or something?Copy !req
90. Airport Station next.Copy !req
91. Change here for the airport
terminal shuttle. Next stop, Airport.Copy !req
92. Change here for the Logan
Airport terminal shuttle.Copy !req
93. The airport shuttle
service is located...Copy !req
94. up the escalator, to the left.Copy !req
95. Inbound train approaching.Copy !req
96. This is Airport Station.Copy !req
97. Stay clear of the doors.Copy !req
98. Aquarium Station next.
Next stop, Aquarium.Copy !req
99. Welcome to the Boston Aquarium...Copy !req
100. home of Myrtle, the turtle,
and Puff, the balloonfish.Copy !req
101. What's expanding faster
than Puff, the balloonfish?Copy !req
102. We are— The North
Addition— coming in 1999.Copy !req
103. Watch us grow!Copy !req
104. Hey, you guys? Who is this?Copy !req
105. That is... Fred Astaire?Copy !req
106. No, no, no. This is Burgess Meredith.Copy !req
107. Remember? I was telling you this yesterday.
You have to recognize that marking there.Copy !req
108. - By his neck?
- I knew it.Copy !req
109. Well, he escaped from
the tray again last night.Copy !req
110. Oh, don't worry about it. That's
okay. I mean, they always escape.Copy !req
111. - Hey, Ben.
- How you doin'?Copy !req
112. Hey, Yuri needs you for a second down
in pumps. He has another pipe leak.Copy !req
113. I-I-I can't, Ben. I'm
diving in two minutes.Copy !req
114. - It's a two-minute job—
for you, anyway! - Hey, Ben.Copy !req
115. Did you have a chance to go over the
Assistant Aquarist application I put in?Copy !req
116. Okay, nothing's been decided.
But you're still in the running.Copy !req
117. All right. Thanks, Ben.Copy !req
118. The dolphin
show begins in—Copy !req
119. Ahh, good!Copy !req
120. I'm a volunteer diver, not
volunteer plumber, Yuri.Copy !req
121. This is the last time I'm comin'
down and doin' you a favor, all right?Copy !req
122. I'm not getting paid for this. I don't want
to be down here helping you. No moreski.Copy !req
123. Ahh... I do—
I do you favor.Copy !req
124. Yuri, first of all, what's this? You
have, like, half a gasket in here.Copy !req
125. Where's the other half
of the gasket, huh?Copy !req
126. Bye!Copy !req
127. So, there isn't a problem.
Just fax it to the hotel.Copy !req
128. I'll sign it, and then
I'll fax it back. All right.Copy !req
129. Now, darling, you weren't there.Copy !req
130. - And this gentleman— -I was
there, Mom. Your plane was early.Copy !req
131. Well, whatever. I didn't see you, and
I thought you weren't gonna make it...Copy !req
132. so this very lovely man offered me a
ride, and so I took it and I'm sorry...Copy !req
133. - Okay, forget about it.
- but I did leave you a message on the machine.Copy !req
134. It gave me some time to walk
around. I went to the aquarium.Copy !req
135. Wait a minute. Hold on.
Let me make it up to you.Copy !req
136. My latest acquisition.
What do you think?Copy !req
137. Blinding teeth.Copy !req
138. - Well, he's available.
- What?Copy !req
139. - They're not all gay, you know.
- Piper!Copy !req
140. Darling!Copy !req
141. - Oh, hi!
- Oh, my God!Copy !req
142. - It's good to see you!
- I have never, ever seen you in red.Copy !req
143. What has happened?Copy !req
144. - Oh, this isn't red. This is Hollywood black.
- You look great.Copy !req
145. And this— Look at this.
This is my latest find.Copy !req
146. He is going to be the
biggest thing ever.Copy !req
147. - Isn't he big now?
- Oh,yes, you know, he is.Copy !req
148. - It pays the tuition.
- Tuition?Copy !req
149. - I'm in med school.
- Really?Copy !req
150. My daughter went to medical
school. Yes, Harvard.Copy !req
151. - Harvard.
- Yes. She didn't want to continue.Copy !req
152. I didn't finish.Copy !req
153. She didn't finish because it
was her choice not to finish.Copy !req
154. She had the highest grade point
average of any female at Harvard.Copy !req
155. - No, I didn't.
- Yes, she did.Copy !req
156. - No. No, I didn't.
- Yes, you did.Copy !req
157. - Piper.
- I did not!Copy !req
158. - So, what are you doing now?
- I'm a phlebotomist.Copy !req
159. You-You study insects?Copy !req
160. She is not a phlebotomist. She is
a registered nurse, a profession...Copy !req
161. her late father esteemed very highly.Copy !req
162. And she's a very good one.Copy !req
163. - I'll see you later.
- It's inevitable to see you later.Copy !req
164. Bye-bye, Rory. Good luck to you.Copy !req
165. He'll need it.Copy !req
166. So, how's the old place?Copy !req
167. - It's quiet.
- Hmm. Renovations?Copy !req
168. We never finished.Copy !req
169. Hmm.Copy !req
170. Have you really been by
yourself ever since that—Copy !req
171. that, that Marxist left?Copy !req
172. - He was an activist, Mother.
- Well, it's the same thing.Copy !req
173. I must say I was delighted when I
heard you gave him his walking papers.Copy !req
174. Sean left me, Mom.Copy !req
175. No. And you let him?Copy !req
176. Did I have a choice?Copy !req
177. Dear, sweetness...Copy !req
178. light of my life.Copy !req
179. With men, you always have a choice.Copy !req
180. Well, you didn't.Copy !req
181. Mmm. Mmm.Copy !req
182. I'm sorry, Mom. I don't
know why I said that.Copy !req
183. - It's okay.
- There's no comparison.Copy !req
184. You're right.Copy !req
185. Loss is loss. It's the
same thing, either way.Copy !req
186. You know what I think your
father would have wanted?Copy !req
187. I think he would want you to move on...Copy !req
188. find yourself a new
man and be happy again.Copy !req
189. - I am happy.
- Well, there's no crime in showing it, is there?Copy !req
190. Look, Mom. I know that you
don't think that a woman...Copy !req
191. - can be alone and be content.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
192. This is me you're talking
to. Of course, I do.Copy !req
193. Oh, come on. You are never
alone. You're always surrounded...Copy !req
194. by all these people.Copy !req
195. Listen, what are we going to do tonight?Copy !req
196. I had an idea. Um, thought maybe
Dodge and I would come over...Copy !req
197. - to the old apartment and
have some cocktails— - Dodge?Copy !req
198. - Dodge!
- Who is Dodge?Copy !req
199. The gentleman I met at the
airport. I told you this!Copy !req
200. - You never listen to me!
- His name is Dodge?Copy !req
201. His name is Dodge, and we
thought we'd take you out tonight.Copy !req
202. - I have a date. - Dodge and I
thought we would have some drinks—Copy !req
203. - What?
- I have a date.Copy !req
204. You have a date! Goddamn you.Copy !req
205. What have I been carrying
on about? Who with?Copy !req
206. Who's it with? Come on.Copy !req
207. A girl from work.Copy !req
208. This is Wonderland Station...Copy !req
209. in the Wonderland commuter parking lot.Copy !req
210. A quarter-pound of pecorino, please.Copy !req
211. The price of cheese.Copy !req
212. Reporter Arnie Reisman has
been following that story.Copy !req
213. It's only the latest in a series...Copy !req
214. of anonymous acts of vandalism that began
last month during the Boston Aquarium's...Copy !req
215. prolonged legal battle
with Lesser Construction.Copy !req
216. Yesterday, Lesser
Construction lost its bid...Copy !req
217. to build a state-of-the-art
mausoleum...Copy !req
218. on this waterfront lot...Copy !req
219. now officially, future home of
the aquarium's North Addition.Copy !req
220. I want to congratulate Miss
Shebola and the aquarium...Copy !req
221. for getting the approval
for their Addition.Copy !req
222. Now, the good people of Boston will
have a place to cavort with fish...Copy !req
223. instead of a place to
properly, hygienically...Copy !req
224. not to mention economically,
bury their loved ones.Copy !req
225. Now, this will not send
our company, in any sense...Copy !req
226. into any kind of financial distress.Copy !req
227. We're now in the business
of building privately run...Copy !req
228. for-profit, commercial prisons.Copy !req
229. There's no need to tell
you how successful they are.Copy !req
230. What about the allegations that
you're behind the aquarium vandalism?Copy !req
231. That is very— I've
heard— That's ridiculous.Copy !req
232. I love fish. They're good
creatures. I've nothing against them.Copy !req
233. Are you worried that you're going to wind
up in the same prison you're building?Copy !req
234. - Is that funny?
- That's enough!Copy !req
235. - You're actin'like an idiot!
- Stupid!Copy !req
236. I am not acting like an idiot!Copy !req
237. No, you're not actin'like an idiot.Copy !req
238. - You just don't fuckin' listen!
- Who do you think you are, leavin' here?Copy !req
239. - You're actin'
like— - Take it easy!Copy !req
240. Hey, hey, hey, cut, cut, cut!
Will you guys please shut up?Copy !req
241. - What is the matter with you?
- Sorry. We had an argument, all right? I'm sorry.Copy !req
242. Try to keep it down.Copy !req
243. Will you please try and keep
it down? He's trying to study.Copy !req
244. - Have a little respect.
- Who cares what other fuckin' people say?Copy !req
245. You moron!Copy !req
246. - I'm not an idiot, you are!
- Man!Copy !req
247. their continued support
for the protesters...Copy !req
248. said they now prefer to
negotiate with developers.Copy !req
249. - This is Renita Harrow, BSN News.
- I don't give a damn!Copy !req
250. And it is with pride that I pronounce...Copy !req
251. that when construction finishes
on the North Addition in 1999...Copy !req
252. Boston will again have...Copy !req
253. the nation's premiere public aquarium.Copy !req
254. Let us christen this voyage
tonight, leave the port...Copy !req
255. move forward, put the
bad water behind us.Copy !req
256. On behalf of myself and Puff...Copy !req
257. - our little fish mascot...
- Frankie, get me a drink.Copy !req
258. - You got it, Arty.
- enjoy the festivities.Copy !req
259. Thank you.Copy !req
260. So, what kind of an idiot
would blow off a woman like you?Copy !req
261. - He's a bastard.
- Let me tell you something about this guy.Copy !req
262. He's a little acey-deucey.Copy !req
263. You know what I mean. No straight guy...Copy !req
264. in his right mind would
blow off a woman like you.Copy !req
265. Yeah, well, I guess
it wasn't meant to be.Copy !req
266. - I don't know. I think I'm gonna go home.
- No, wait.Copy !req
267. What do you say I go with you?Copy !req
268. You're alone, I'm security.Copy !req
269. - I mean, she and I, we're not even involved.
- As far as I'm concerned, Bob...Copy !req
270. there is no security.Copy !req
271. Only security guards.Copy !req
272. Hey! Hello. Hey, Erin.Copy !req
273. - Could I just have a minute?
- Certainly. Certainly.Copy !req
274. See you, Bob.Copy !req
275. Okay, all right. Are
we done? Can we go now?Copy !req
276. Are you done? Can you go?Copy !req
277. Wait a minute. I thought that the
whole point was that I would be here—Copy !req
278. Right. But now the point seems to be...Copy !req
279. that you are really
preoccupied with my date.Copy !req
280. Oh, I'm preoccupied with Bob.Copy !req
281. Hey! We havin' a good time?Copy !req
282. - Hi!
- Hi! Cricket, what do you say we dance, right now?Copy !req
283. - I'd love to.
- Great!Copy !req
284. Yeah?Copy !req
285. Bob? Bob? Remember?Copy !req
286. - Bob, how are you?
- This is Cricket. Cricket, Alan. Alan, Cricket.Copy !req
287. - How are you?
- Hi.Copy !req
288. Cricket's a nurse where I work now.Copy !req
289. - Over at the, uh,
hospital. - Uh-huh.Copy !req
290. Hey, we could have used you here last week
what with the shenanigans and everything.Copy !req
291. A guy like Bob. Back in
the saddle again, huh, Bob?Copy !req
292. If I were still here, that
shit would never happen.Copy !req
293. - Good seeing you.
- Alan.Copy !req
294. - You here alone?
- Yes, I am.Copy !req
295. I got a chick you're not gonna believe.Copy !req
296. A hot chick, free thinker, rubbin' against
the furniture right now, all by her lonesome.Copy !req
297. She's trawlin'for action,
beggin'for somethin'...Copy !req
298. and I think you're the kind
of guy that can give it to her.Copy !req
299. Well, you know, Bob. I'm really quite
flattered that you'd think of me...Copy !req
300. but to tell you the truth,
I'm real busy at the moment.Copy !req
301. - So, I'll see you later.
- Wait a minute.Copy !req
302. - What are you, some kind of fag?
- Alan!Copy !req
303. Yo, Alan! How are ya?Copy !req
304. - Oh, shit.
- I'll meet ya at the bar!Copy !req
305. - Great to see you again, Bob.
- Good to see ya.Copy !req
306. Where ya been, buddy?Copy !req
307. Hey, I'm gettin' the feeling
you're trying to avoid me.Copy !req
308. No, no, no. I'm not avoiding you, Frank.Copy !req
309. I'm very busy, you know. I've got
classes. I'm volunteering here.Copy !req
310. - I got a little favor I gotta ask ya.
- Oh, Christ, Frank.Copy !req
311. - If this is about your toilet, I can't come by every time.
- No, no, no.Copy !req
312. It's flushin' like a
champ since you been there.Copy !req
313. Listen, uh, maybe you can
take me on a little tour.Copy !req
314. - You want a little tour, Frank?
- Yeah.Copy !req
315. You can show me that little Poof
fish that's on the news all the time.Copy !req
316. Puff, Frank. It's a puffer
fish, all right? Come on.Copy !req
317. When threatened, a balloonfish...Copy !req
318. - can rapidly inflate its
body with water or air.Copy !req
319. Frank! Do you see where it
says, "Do not tap on the glass"?Copy !req
320. All right? These are
very sensitive fish.Copy !req
321. - They got feelings?
- Yeah, they do, Frank. You know what?Copy !req
322. You're really not supposed to smoke here,
so why don't we go back where we came from?Copy !req
323. And I'll just see you in a couple days
and I'll give you some money, all right?Copy !req
324. You were doin'just fine
when you were plumbin', Al.Copy !req
325. When you were workin' with your
father, when you were a team.Copy !req
326. Look, Frank. You did me a really
big favor by lending me the money...Copy !req
327. so I could go to school, but
I'm a full-time student now...Copy !req
328. and it's just gonna take
me a little more time.Copy !req
329. - I can't give you any more time.
- Christ, Frank.Copy !req
330. What do you expect me to
do? I don't have any money.Copy !req
331. Small favor. Do it, and I'll
knock off the interest on the loan.Copy !req
332. The North Addition, coming in 1999.Copy !req
333. Certain people just want
a message sent, that's all.Copy !req
334. So what is this... favor?Copy !req
335. Just eliminate the fish. That's it.Copy !req
336. - Puff?
- Yeah, Puff!Copy !req
337. What, are you kidding me, Frank?Copy !req
338. - There's no way. - Oh, for Christ's
sake, it's a goddamn, pansy-ass fish!Copy !req
339. Look at it!Copy !req
340. Ladies.Copy !req
341. You know, Frank. I can't believe
that you're asking me to do this!Copy !req
342. I'm not gonna do it! But
don't worry. You know what.Copy !req
343. 'Cause I will definitely get you
your money, one way the other.Copy !req
344. Next Monday, I will see you. I will have
your money, plus your three points, all right?Copy !req
345. Hey, Alan. Who's gonna loan
you the money, your father?Copy !req
346. He's at the dog track, blowin' the
two grand I fronted him last week.Copy !req
347. Biologists call it
a defense mechanism...Copy !req
348. because it defends the fish against
attacks by hungry predators, like sharks.Copy !req
349. Smile! Hey, looks like you
just made the society page!Copy !req
350. What's your name, gorgeous?Copy !req
351. Hi, this is Erin. Please
leave a message after the beep.Copy !req
352. - Hi, doll. I've got some
interesting news for you.Copy !req
353. Okay, now. If you look
in this week's Herald—Copy !req
354. - Hi.
- Hi, sweetie, it's me. I'm in London.Copy !req
355. I just picked up a copy of the Herald.Copy !req
356. - Yeah, I know. I saw it.
- What do you mean you saw it?Copy !req
357. - Who spoiled it for you?
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
358. Wait a minute. Why do you have
the Herald? Aren't you in London?Copy !req
359. If you'll just look at page
67, I'll be able to tell you.Copy !req
360. Wait, these are— These
are the personal ads.Copy !req
361. Just look...Copy !req
362. in the middle of the second column...Copy !req
363. right between "Vivacious
Vixen" and "Wasting Away."Copy !req
364. "Waiting For You. Do you
believe in destiny? I do.Copy !req
365. Be part of mine. Me: 29, five foot six.Copy !req
366. Brains, beauty, body, all in one.Copy !req
367. Frisky, cultured and carefree
professional with zest for life.Copy !req
368. Number one in fun!
Sophisticated, smart...Copy !req
369. and sumptuous success story
who will make me smile.Copy !req
370. Us: Soul mates seeking
spontaneous combustion?Copy !req
371. Pervs or drunks need not apply."Copy !req
372. Darling, you sound so
excited! I'm very happy!Copy !req
373. You put in a personal ad for me?Copy !req
374. I admit I did have a little
help from my publicist.Copy !req
375. - Oh, my God.
- Darling, look.Copy !req
376. If you're not going to help
yourself, I feel, as your mother...Copy !req
377. that I have the right to help you...Copy !req
378. - if I can.
- As my mother? As my pimp is more like it.Copy !req
379. Look, sweetie, it's only an option.Copy !req
380. You can access your messages by dialing a
four-digit code. I gave you your birthday, 1966.Copy !req
381. You know, Ma, I would never do this.
Never! And-And, who is this person?Copy !req
382. " Frisky, carefree,
with a zest for I—"Copy !req
383. Oh. This is you. Isn't it, Mom?Copy !req
384. - This is you.
- No, sweetie, it is not me. It is you.Copy !req
385. It is the you I remember, the
sweet, darling, happy you...Copy !req
386. that you used
to be before—Copy !req
387. I'm sorry.Copy !req
388. I've got to get ready to go to work.Copy !req
389. I know.Copy !req
390. Listen. I just wanted to remind you,
actually, about Thanksgiving in Manhattan.Copy !req
391. I won't forget about
Thanksgiving, Mom. I'll be there.Copy !req
392. Feel free to bring a
new friend, if you like.Copy !req
393. Yes. Here we are, ladies and
gentlemen. The angler fish.Copy !req
394. This is the female, by the
way. My apologies, ladies.Copy !req
395. Nature can be cruel.Copy !req
396. Can anyone tell me, out of interest...Copy !req
397. why the male is so humbly displayed?Copy !req
398. Come on, people. Wake up! Someone!Copy !req
399. Someone other than
Alan. Anybody but Alan.Copy !req
400. Okay, Alan.Copy !req
401. - The, um, Ceratadeam—
- Ceratoidea.Copy !req
402. Ceratoidea has evolved so
that the male is always...Copy !req
403. right there with the female,
ready to inject it with the sperm.Copy !req
404. It's what you would call
a symbiotic relationship.Copy !req
405. Thank you, Alan. Another
amazingly accurate answer.Copy !req
406. Moving on, next snapshot, if you would.Copy !req
407. Ahh. The Coelacanth.
Now, the Coelacanth...Copy !req
408. is known to be one of the most
elusive of the deep-sea creatures.Copy !req
409. Julie, come here, no. Ladies
and gentlemen, I stand corrected.Copy !req
410. This is probably the most
elusive of the sea creatures.Copy !req
411. - By sea, I mean "C" or maybe
" D" or most probably " F."Copy !req
412. - Sit down.
- Sorry.Copy !req
413. - I'd like to see you in
the office a little later.Copy !req
414. - You're the only one who takes notes, Alan.
- Everybody takes notes.Copy !req
415. - Duh. - They have
notebooks, and you have a—Copy !req
416. You know, you're a tutor and you should
be making sure I do things like that.Copy !req
417. - Wait a minute. Julie, I'm not your tutor.
- Yes, you are.Copy !req
418. - No, I'm not.
- I hired you.Copy !req
419. No, you didn't hire
me. I'm just a friend.Copy !req
420. - You make it sound like I'm some old man or something.
- Well, you gotta help me, then.Copy !req
421. I'll give you my notes, all right?Copy !req
422. - Make copies of them, and definitely
copy— - Let's go to the study hall now.Copy !req
423. - And then you can, like, catch me up a little.
- No, no, tell you what.Copy !req
424. Take the notebook. Give it back to me
tomorrow. I gotta see Ray about my paper.Copy !req
425. - You're such a pill! - What're
you talking about? I'm not a—Copy !req
426. I like a good time as
much as the next guy.Copy !req
427. I'm just... not the next
guy. I'll see you later.Copy !req
428. Good morning, Boston!
Twenty minutes past the hour.Copy !req
429. Rick, you are definitely water.Copy !req
430. Olly, I know you're fire, all right?Copy !req
431. So, how did you two meet?Copy !req
432. - Well, all right.
- No, no, no, no. I'll tell the story.Copy !req
433. - Let me tell the story.
- No, let me, 'cause you always lie.Copy !req
434. - I don't lie. I embellish.
- Make it juicy. Just tell me!Copy !req
435. Oh, it was about four years ago. I
was out on the duck tour, you know?Copy !req
436. - Oh, yeah.
- You know, the amphibious thing that goes in the water?Copy !req
437. - Can I tell the story? Thank you.
- I'm embellishing.Copy !req
438. - I get seasick really easily.
- We were still on Newbury Street.Copy !req
439. We weren't even in the
harbor yet. He's seasick.Copy !req
440. I was on
the side—Copy !req
441. I was on the side.
Basically, I was getting sick.Copy !req
442. - Oh, my God.
- Oh, but as a nurse I'm used to that kind of thing...Copy !req
443. - and I took right over, didn't I?
- You did.Copy !req
444. I was very professional.
And, I consider myself, now...Copy !req
445. the luckiest nurse in all of Boston.Copy !req
446. Except, of course, for you, Erin.Copy !req
447. - Erin, this is a great shot.
- Correction, my dear.Copy !req
448. - That is not luck. That is fate.
- I don't believe in fate.Copy !req
449. What?Copy !req
450. What, like there's some unseen hand
leading you down the garden path?Copy !req
451. - Exactly.
- I wish. I'm sorry, I don't believe it.Copy !req
452. - It isn't necessarily unseen—
- Unseen hands can be fun!Copy !req
453. I totally believe in fate.
I mean, like, for instance...Copy !req
454. if Erin hadn't been at the
aquarium party the other night...Copy !req
455. I never would have realized
how much I wanted Bob.Copy !req
456. - Ta-da! -
Who's Bob?Copy !req
457. - This guy that I'm dating.
- Case in point.Copy !req
458. - You know, I heard he quit.
- What?Copy !req
459. No, Bob was fired, actually. He was
demonstrating how to load his gun...Copy !req
460. in the commissary—
to a small child.Copy !req
461. Yeah, well, that was,
like, a total setup.Copy !req
462. I don't know, Erin. I mean, you
have to believe in something, right?Copy !req
463. - It makes life more fun.
- That's right! And Erin is the fun girl.Copy !req
464. - Fun, fun, fun.
- Yes. All of Boston society knows it now.Copy !req
465. You look great.Copy !req
466. All right, all right. Here's
one, here's one. Ready?Copy !req
467. "I am a divergent thinker with a
sharp wit, but a reflective soul." Hmm?Copy !req
468. "I value quiet reads, sublime sunsets...Copy !req
469. humor, tenderness and balance."Copy !req
470. That's not a personal ad! That's
a fuckin' daily affirmation!Copy !req
471. I'll find you a personal ad.Copy !req
472. Alan, are you in?Copy !req
473. What are you talkin' about? In what?Copy !req
474. Oh, it's a bet. We're all gonna
reply to the same personal ad.Copy !req
475. We go out with the chick.Copy !req
476. First guy who scores gets
200 bucks from the two losers.Copy !req
477. - Right on.
- Or three.Copy !req
478. So I guess Traci's
what—history?Copy !req
479. No, I ain't got time for a
townie— I mean, no offense, bro.Copy !req
480. None taken, bro.Copy !req
481. - What do you say? You in or— -Okay,
so what do you have to do to win?Copy !req
482. Well, we agreed on it.
It's gotta be a French kiss.Copy !req
483. - That's tongues... intermingling consensually, right? Right?
- Exactly.Copy !req
484. - Unforced. That means you, all right?
- Yeah, unforced.Copy !req
485. Just out of curiosity, hold on a second.Copy !req
486. How will the two losers know
that the winner actually won?Copy !req
487. - We watch it.
- Right.Copy !req
488. - We'll be there. - Incognito.
- Yeah. We'll be in disguise.Copy !req
489. - It's gonna be great. Are you gonna be in or what?
- Well, no. Are you kiddin'?Copy !req
490. That's, like, the stupidest
thing I've heard in my life.Copy !req
491. Of course I'm not in. Maybe it's
just when you get to be my age.Copy !req
492. I realize that I can only be who I am. I
can't present myself in any different way.Copy !req
493. I don't wanna meet somebody who
presents herself in a different way...Copy !req
494. because then you have two people that
are basically lying, gettin' together...Copy !req
495. talkin' a bunch of crap, you know?Copy !req
496. I know this firsthand, because
what I've been tryin'to do...Copy !req
497. is to change my destiny and not just
spend the rest of my life being a plumber.Copy !req
498. Not that there's anything wrong with
plumbing, but it gives me a freedom.Copy !req
499. I can pursue the thing I really love.Copy !req
500. How do you find what you love?Copy !req
501. - Well, I think—
- I'm kidding.Copy !req
502. Oh, man!Copy !req
503. Things are getting like—Jesus, what
are we? A bunch of chicks or something?Copy !req
504. - Bob's probably my soul mate.
- I believe that. I totally believe that.Copy !req
505. - How could you say that?
- I dearly hope that Bob is not your soul mate.Copy !req
506. Look, look. It's not about Bob.Copy !req
507. It's about whether or not there's
meaning and direction in our lives.Copy !req
508. - I suggested that— - Well,
there isn't! There isn't!Copy !req
509. What do you mean, "There isn't"?Copy !req
510. I'm not saying there's not meaning,
but there's no direction, you know?Copy !req
511. Case in point, my parents.
They met on an airplane.Copy !req
512. They were flying back from Paris.Copy !req
513. The only reason my mother was on the flight—
she was supposed to be on earlier flight—Copy !req
514. But on the way to the airport, her
taxi struck and killed a little dog...Copy !req
515. who was chasing a little furry
squirrel, and she was delayed.Copy !req
516. That's a totally random act, you know?Copy !req
517. - That's why she met my father.
- No, Erin, that is fate.Copy !req
518. - Oh, come on.
- Tell that to the dog.Copy !req
519. - Yes, tell that to the dog.
- No, no, I'm serious!Copy !req
520. - You don't want to be a plumber, Alan.
- Yeah, but the point is...Copy !req
521. I don't wanna be a plumber, but
I got nothin' against my father.Copy !req
522. I got nothin' against my grandfather.
He's doin' what he wants to do.Copy !req
523. I'm tryin' to do what I want to do.Copy !req
524. What are you doing? You're
going to be a marine biologist?Copy !req
525. - Is that it?
- Yeah.Copy !req
526. I'll tell you something. I
don't know from marine biology.Copy !req
527. But, I don't see any money in
it. I mean, plumbing. Money.Copy !req
528. And you're still workin' with water.Copy !req
529. I got nothin' against bein' a plumber.Copy !req
530. If someone asks me what I do, and
that's what I'm doin', I'm a plumber.Copy !req
531. I mean, it's not about bein' a plumber.Copy !req
532. What does Dad think about you
not wantin' to be a plumber?Copy !req
533. You know what? I'm gonna go up to
the bar and buy a round of drinks...Copy !req
534. to celebrate my brother
movin' to the South End.Copy !req
535. You don't have a problem with a
drink from an eastie, do you, Kev?Copy !req
536. Sure.Copy !req
537. Man. What's the matter
with your brother?Copy !req
538. He's got his head in
the books, every night.Copy !req
539. I mean, he's studying
and studying and studying.Copy !req
540. We never studied that
hard, and it never hurt us.Copy !req
541. "Consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds."Copy !req
542. Yeah! Yeah.Copy !req
543. - Consistency.
- Of course.Copy !req
544. "Is the hobgoblin of the mind."Copy !req
545. - Harry! What's happening?
- Hey, Al. How are you, pal? Funny you should stop by.Copy !req
546. - You know who was in this morning, lookin' for you?
- Who?Copy !req
547. - Frankie.
- What?Copy !req
548. You know, Frankie the
collector. Frankie!Copy !req
549. - We all know Frankie. What can I get you, my friend?
- Yeah.Copy !req
550. - Three Sam Adams and a ginger ale.
- You got it.Copy !req
551. So, uh, what's an
attractive girl like you...Copy !req
552. doing in a bar so early?Copy !req
553. Lookin' for fun, maybe?Copy !req
554. What's that on your nose?Copy !req
555. - Huh?
- You know, the purple blemish on the end of your nose?Copy !req
556. Looks like a basal cell
nevus, or maybe a melanoma?Copy !req
557. You know, you may want
to get that checked.Copy !req
558. For a man your age, a malignant melanoma
could be fatal if not promptly removed.Copy !req
559. "Me:29, five six.Copy !req
560. - Brains, beauty, body. All in one.
- That's nice.Copy !req
561. Frisky, cultured and carefree
professional with zest for life.Copy !req
562. - Number One in fun. "
- "Number One. " That's good.Copy !req
563. "Pervs or drunks need
not apply. " Uh-oh.Copy !req
564. - That's you two.
- That's funny!Copy !req
565. Look, we fake it just like she is.Copy !req
566. Gentlemen, believe me, the fact of the
matter is, this woman's not what she seems.Copy !req
567. If she's a beauty, I'm a perv, okay?Copy !req
568. - Oh, shit! C'mon, man!
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry!Copy !req
569. - What's goin'on? You all right?
- I'm fine.Copy !req
570. Just spilled some water.
I got it. I got it.Copy !req
571. Okay, sugar. You have a good one.Copy !req
572. - Will you wake me up when you get in?
- Yep.Copy !req
573. - Bye, Oliver.
- See you!Copy !req
574. - That's so sweet!
- Olly is so wonderful.Copy !req
575. I love how you two met.
I mean, he is so Sag.Copy !req
576. Olly would hate me
for telling you this...Copy !req
577. but I can't resist.Copy !req
578. - We actually met through a gay dating service.
- What?Copy !req
579. Manhunters. On the "Meat
Market'bulletin board.Copy !req
580. You call in a description,
like "Tenderloin," Butt."Copy !req
581. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding! But
it was through a gay dating service.Copy !req
582. But what about the mystery?Copy !req
583. Oh, honey, it does not matter
how you meet Mr. or Ms. Right.Copy !req
584. I will tell you what
the real mystery is.Copy !req
585. The real mystery is:Copy !req
586. What keeps two people
together after they meet?Copy !req
587. Okay.Copy !req
588. You have no new messages.Copy !req
589. End of messages. You
have no new messages.Copy !req
590. End of messages. You
have no new messages.Copy !req
591. End of messages.Copy !req
592. Hi, Erin. Just want to be clear.Copy !req
593. This is very important.
I know I've left before.Copy !req
594. I know I've come back with my tail
between my legs and cowered and such.Copy !req
595. I'm not gonna do that again. I'm
leaving. This is it. I'm fed up.Copy !req
596. I don't want to fight with you anymore, and
the reasons are what I'm listing right now—Copy !req
597. That's four or five. I can't remember.Copy !req
598. First off, is, uh, you've never
come with me once to my rallies.Copy !req
599. The reason why you don't want
to come to my rallies is that...Copy !req
600. you do not like the
masses, crowds, whatever.Copy !req
601. What do you have against the
masses, is what I want to know?Copy !req
602. I am in the mass. I am
a member of the crowd.Copy !req
603. No new messages. End of messages.Copy !req
604. workers, Erin, is the
only way we as a people...Copy !req
605. in this country, we as a people
in this society, will move—Copy !req
606. End of messages. You
have no new messages.Copy !req
607. You have no new
messages. End of messages.Copy !req
608. Say this was a rally, our
relationship, and I showed up to it.Copy !req
609. No matter how many signs, how many
slogans, how many things I'm chained to...Copy !req
610. I cannot, somehow,
change our relationship.Copy !req
611. I can't change you.
I really have to say...Copy !req
612. I wonder if any man really ever could.Copy !req
613. Hi. Welcome to the Herald personals.Copy !req

622. Hi, I'm, uh, Daryl.Copy !req
623. My name is Elliott, and I
am an insurance adjuster.Copy !req
624. - Hi!
- Hey, how ya doin', toots? It's me, Joey.Copy !req
625. Anyway, let me tell you
a little bit about myself.Copy !req
626. I'm active. I'm energetic. I'm outgoing.Copy !req
627. Forty-si— Actually,
43 years old.Copy !req
628. I have slightly thinning hair.Copy !req
629. None on my back. I have no back hair.Copy !req
630. I'd say five nine, five nine and a half.Copy !req
631. - Give or take a— - Let's
just say around six feet.Copy !req
632. Let me tell you about
what I do. I'm a, uh—Copy !req
633. very successful
30-year-old attorney.Copy !req
634. I decided to go back to school, actually,
and get a graduate degree in divinity.Copy !req
635. I'm a Vietnam-era vet.Copy !req
636. I'm a temp. But that's not,
like, a permanent thing.Copy !req
637. I own my business.Copy !req
638. I'm calling you from
the office right now.Copy !req
639. - My interests are, uh—
- I like women a lot.Copy !req
640. I was brought up Catholic, but we
can go into that when I meet you.Copy !req
641. - I do pull
- ups, and occasionally I will do a squat thrust.Copy !req
642. I think that probably we would
have a lot in common, because, um—Copy !req
643. Come on! I get along well with people.Copy !req
644. - I actually just finalized my
divorce, about four days ago.Copy !req
645. - I have to admit I've got
some, um, some betrayal issues.Copy !req
646. - I'm looking for a woman
who is tall, yet clean?Copy !req
647. - Someone that likes their mother
and hopefully likes my mother.Copy !req
648. Reading your ad made me feel like
we were soul mates, I thought.Copy !req
649. - If you could hold on, I have
a fax coming in now. I, uh—Copy !req
650. - My number's 5 5 5— -
9536. And, uh, over and out.Copy !req
651. - That was great.
- You know what?Copy !req
652. - What?
- You might as well give me the check right now.Copy !req
653. You don't have a chance in hell.Copy !req
654. Hey! Alan!Copy !req
655. Nice computer.Copy !req
656. Here's your 135 bucks, Frank.Copy !req
657. Just like usual. You wanna count it?Copy !req
658. Hey, what the hell
happened to your nose?Copy !req
659. Let's take a little drive.Copy !req
660. Shit.Copy !req
661. - Don't matter about the money now.Copy !req
662. Don't matter about the money— Frank!
Look at this grease on my face, man.Copy !req
663. You have any idea what I went
through to get this money?Copy !req
664. I put my ass...Copy !req
665. on the line and vouched for ya.Copy !req
666. I thought I could count on you, Alan.Copy !req
667. I promised certain people results.
They're expecting results now.Copy !req
668. - If they don't get 'em— - What
did you bring me here for, Frank?Copy !req
669. Oh.Copy !req
670. Your father's tool kit.Copy !req
671. He comes in here yesterday practically
begging for another two grand.Copy !req
672. And he gives me this for collateral.Copy !req
673. I told him I can't loan him any
more, but he wouldn't take it back.Copy !req
674. What am I gonna do
with a tool kit, Alan?Copy !req
675. Thought that maybe you'd want
it, not that you need it anymore.Copy !req
676. Go give 'em back to him.Copy !req
677. He's down in section three.Copy !req
678. Where he always is.Copy !req
679. There goes Swifty!Copy !req
680. Erin?Copy !req
681. - Hi. I'm Nathan.
- Hi.Copy !req
682. So, I take it this is your first time.Copy !req
683. Yeah. You're the first suitor.Copy !req
684. Suitor. I like that. I like that.Copy !req
685. It's old fashioned. I'm kind
of an old-fashioned guy myself.Copy !req
686. You, um, surprise me, frankly.Copy !req
687. Why?Copy !req
688. You just don't seem
like the sort of woman...Copy !req
689. who would resort to placing an ad.Copy !req
690. Sorry, um.Copy !req
691. I'm sure you get that all the time.Copy !req
692. You're a very attractive woman.Copy !req
693. - So, you study God?
- God?Copy !req
694. - Aren't you a divinity student?
- Yeah.Copy !req
695. Well, God's an immense subject.
We don't have to talk about it.Copy !req
696. I think it makes some
people uncomfortable.Copy !req
697. No! Let's talk about God.Copy !req
698. I'm the V.P. of Operations at
the Krylex Corporation in Waltham.Copy !req
699. Krylex manufactures small rubber
parts for a variety of commercial...Copy !req
700. and industrial products— products
ranging from the small rubber helmets...Copy !req
701. on wall-mounted spring door studs...Copy !req
702. to the waterproof gaskets on
street newspaper vending machines.Copy !req
703. You're starting to glaze
over. I see it. Don't worry.Copy !req
704. Happens all the time. I'm not
offended. I'll tell you why.Copy !req
705. It's because most people are blind
to the impact small rubber parts...Copy !req
706. have on their daily lives.Copy !req
707. Erin, how often do people
look under their phones?Copy !req
708. - Um— - Precisely. When you get
home, I'd urge you to do just that.Copy !req
709. You'll appreciate what
I'm about to tell you.Copy !req
710. The four small rubber nubs
that your phone rests on?Copy !req
711. Admittedly, not very exciting.Copy !req
712. But, consider what the consequences
would be without those rubber nubs.Copy !req
713. You know, you don't say a lot...Copy !req
714. but it's pretty obvious
what you're telling me.Copy !req
715. - Really?
- Your body language says it all.Copy !req
716. You're palming me.Copy !req
717. I'm sorry?Copy !req
718. You're palming me. Your
palms are exposed to me.Copy !req
719. When a woman does that,
she's subconsciously flirting.Copy !req
720. Yeah? What does this mean?Copy !req
721. Oh. Tiger, hmm?Copy !req
722. Let's just sum up here, okay? God is
definitely a woman, because only a woman...Copy !req
723. would have the kind of compassion
necessary to create someone...Copy !req
724. - as beautiful as you.
- Okay.Copy !req
725. - There-there-there's one giant
hole in your argument. - Hole.Copy !req
726. Daryl, no female deity would have had
the absence of mind to create you...Copy !req
727. the male gender, a gender that spends all
of its time looking forward to getting off.Copy !req
728. God is a man. Why?
Because men need women.Copy !req
729. Women don't need men.Copy !req
730. And yet, you're here. It's
a hole in your argument.Copy !req
731. I collect art. South American, mostly.Copy !req
732. Really? South American?Copy !req
733. - Have you been?
- Yeah, my dad took me to Brazil when I was very young.Copy !req
734. But I love— I love
Brazilian music.Copy !req
735. Well, I was down there for
a conference ten days ago.Copy !req
736. My tan's
faded, but, um—Copy !req
737. - That's it. You're playing with your hair.
- I'm bored.Copy !req
738. Do you always deal
with people like this?Copy !req
739. I—
Well.Copy !req
740. It's just that I've been taking this course in
communication and trying out things I learned.Copy !req
741. Can I just drop it, I mean, really?Copy !req
742. - I'm just so lonely.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
743. I-I-I can't meet people. It's like
I've got a sign on my forehead.Copy !req
744. Yeah, that's the—
That's the thing.Copy !req
745. About God— He's so hard
to pin down, at any moment.Copy !req
746. - He?
- She.Copy !req
747. You know, he, she, it.Copy !req
748. As Cicero said...Copy !req
749. "Consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds."Copy !req
750. Ralph Waldo Emerson, you mean.Copy !req
751. How come you never smile?Copy !req
752. Would that make you more comfortable?Copy !req
753. - You don't really like me, do you?
- No! I don't like poseurs.Copy !req
754. I mean, you're probably
a very nice person...Copy !req
755. but I have no way of
knowing that, you know?Copy !req
756. You're all uncomfortable, you're
telling all these strange jokes...Copy !req
757. and why are you trying
so hard to impress me?Copy !req
758. You would be much more appealing
if you would just be yourself.Copy !req
759. Here, let's see. " Frisky and carefree."Copy !req
760. - So who's the poseur?
- My mother put in that ad.Copy !req
761. Oh, really? Well, what's her number?Copy !req
762. Who is the real Erin Castleton?Copy !req
763. Please stand up.Copy !req
764. Well, uh, what would you like to know?Copy !req
765. First I'd like to know what
attracted you to nursing.Copy !req
766. Other people's pain.Copy !req
767. That's funny. I like that.Copy !req
768. No, actually I was in medical
school at Harvard, but I dropped out.Copy !req
769. Why?Copy !req
770. I lost,
um—Copy !req
771. - I lost my motivation. It's a long story, anyway.
- Got all night. All morning.Copy !req
772. Here you go, pal.Copy !req
773. - Let me get this round.
- Refill?Copy !req
774. - Yeah.
- Least I can do.Copy !req
775. Uh, what the heck is that?Copy !req
776. This is
funny. I, um—Copy !req
777. I was married once, a
long, long, long time ago.Copy !req
778. But, I-I carry that as a sort
of, you know, good luck charm.Copy !req
779. Well, I guess it's not working.Copy !req
780. I can't put this here.
I got this dry-cleaned.Copy !req
781. Don't worry, Kev.
There's plenty of room.Copy !req
782. Just put it
in the— Tsk.Copy !req
783. Aw, smells like fish, man. I'm
gonna get fish smell in my fabrics.Copy !req
784. - Hello?
- Uh, yeah, hi. My name is Erin.Copy !req
785. You called about my ad in the Herald.Copy !req
786. No, I think you must want my
brother Kevin. Hold on a second.Copy !req
787. Hey, Kev! Telephone! It's for you!Copy !req
788. Coming!Copy !req
789. Sorry.Copy !req
790. I got it! Hello?Copy !req
791. This is he. Oh, it's nice to
finally meet you, Erin, so to speak.Copy !req
792. Yeah, you'll have to excuse
me. I'm a little out of breath.Copy !req
793. I'm moving out of the place I'm living
in. Yeah, I'm moving to a much nicer place.Copy !req
794. You're the most beguiling
woman I've ever met.Copy !req
795. You don't take men's
compliments very well, do you?Copy !req
796. - I take what I need.
- Which is?Copy !req
797. - Another round.
- You got it. Barkeep?Copy !req
798. - Another round for the lady, please.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
799. - Thanks.
- Yeah.Copy !req
800. I liked what you said
earlier about, um—Copy !req
801. What was it? Um, sticking to your
principles and following your dreams.Copy !req
802. But, um, do you really
believe that if you do that...Copy !req
803. that things will just come to you
like it's— like it's destined?Copy !req
804. Yeah, I really do.Copy !req
805. You know, my brother says that a lot.Copy !req
806. You know, he says you create
your own luck, but, uh—Copy !req
807. - You know, take me, for instance.
- No, no.Copy !req
808. No, let's take your brother.Copy !req
809. Okay, uh, my brother.Copy !req
810. - What's his name?
- Alan.Copy !req
811. - Alan.
- It's funny. When I think of Alan, I think of, uh...Copy !req
812. what W.C. Fields said which was, uh...Copy !req
813. "Consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds."Copy !req
814. No, Emerson. It was Ralph Waldo Emerson.Copy !req
815. Well, whatever, I mean, whoever said it is
not so much important as I remembered it.Copy !req
816. But I think of him that way because
he's always, always in his books.Copy !req
817. - Books?
- Yeah, you know...Copy !req
818. - Really?
- and I respect his determination.Copy !req
819. I'm lucky, you know, because
I have more than determination.Copy !req
820. I have determination plus talent...Copy !req
821. plus, like, a natural intelligence...Copy !req
822. and then sort of a street savvy
that I think I've picked up myself.Copy !req
823. And sometimes that's hard
to deal with, you know.Copy !req
824. 'Cause you know you've
got both barrels loaded.Copy !req
825. And sometimes you only
wanna use one, but you can't.Copy !req
826. Uh, you know, it's funny to
me when I think about it...Copy !req
827. because I remember back when
I was studying for the bar—Copy !req
828. And I don't think I had to study
as hard as a lot of people—Copy !req
829. Every night Alan was out
partying, and I'm at home...Copy !req
830. directed, and now it's sort of weird.Copy !req
831. Because, you know, I'm
out there. I'm grabbing.Copy !req
832. I'm taking, you know.
I see. I want. I take.Copy !req
833. And he just sits at home
every night and studies, so—Copy !req
834. Puff? Oh, my God.Copy !req
835. Freeze!Copy !req
836. Oh.Copy !req
837. Oh, Puff.Copy !req
838. But I'm not lonely. I,
I like to be by myself.Copy !req
839. I mean, people don't understand that. You
know, they, they think that you're a bitch...Copy !req
840. or that you, you know, that you
must certainly be depressed.Copy !req
841. I mean, say, say a woman is
sitting alone in a bar reading.Copy !req
842. You know, a man who comes in, he
automatically makes an assumption...Copy !req
843. that she's either sitting there
waiting to be propositioned...Copy !req
844. and, you know, if she doesn't want it, then
there must be something wrong with her...Copy !req
845. because, you know, what
woman in her right mind...Copy !req
846. would be content just
sitting by herself, you know.Copy !req
847. But I'm not lonely when I'm
sitting in a bar by myself...Copy !req
848. and, you know, I'm not even
lonely when I'm at home alone.Copy !req
849. I get— You get lonely
in a crowded room...Copy !req
850. or a subway that's packed with people.Copy !req
851. You know, all these people
and every one a stranger.Copy !req
852. My father— My father had one
of those quiet Irish souls.Copy !req
853. He was a poet.Copy !req
854. Well, actually, he was a cardiologist,
but he wrote beautiful poetry.Copy !req
855. He would take us to Ireland in the summers,
and he and I would take these long walks...Copy !req
856. and then we would just sit
together staring out at the sea.Copy !req
857. He said that if you can learn to contemplate
just one beautiful thing every day...Copy !req
858. that it would give you
something very special.Copy !req
859. It's a Gaelic expression.Copy !req
860. It means, "Quietness
without loneliness."Copy !req
861. Oh, my God. I have been
talking and talking.Copy !req
862. It seems for hours.
Um, I'm sorry, Barry.Copy !req
863. It's— I think you're the
first man that I've met...Copy !req
864. that hasn't had, like, a pathological
need to talk about himself.Copy !req
865. Um, but anyway, let's talk about you.Copy !req
866. - What do you do?
- I'm a therapist.Copy !req
867. Oh, does that make
you feel uncomfortable?Copy !req
868. Today youngsters...Copy !req
869. throughout Boston struggled
to express their feelings...Copy !req
870. for the fish we all called Puff.Copy !req
871. Reporter Arnie Reisman was with
the children of the Wimble School...Copy !req
872. and got some of their reactions.Copy !req
873. It wasn't just another day for
the kids here at the Wimble School.Copy !req
874. For some, it was a difficult day.Copy !req
875. When I heard that he
got eaten by a piranha...Copy !req
876. um, that, um, I felt like
he'd never come back again...Copy !req
877. 'cause I never saw a fish in my life.Copy !req
878. - How does that make you feel?
- Sad.Copy !req
879. What a shame. Thanks, Arnie.Copy !req
880. In national news, the Tantooni
standoff in Tantooni, Arizona—Copy !req
881. You know, a nurse. It's
like the expression, uh...Copy !req
882. "Consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds."Copy !req
883. What did you just say?Copy !req
884. Oh, I was just quoting Marx, Karl Marx.Copy !req
885. I tend to contradict myself
a lot, you know, especially...Copy !req
886. around, um, you know, a, uh...Copy !req
887. you
know, a—Copy !req
888. Hmph. You know, I'm feelin'bloated.Copy !req
889. I'm gonna go, uh, take a pee-ski, okay?Copy !req
890. And, uh, you want anything?Copy !req
891. I mean, I'm sure you don't
want anything from the bathroom.Copy !req
892. I'll just
go. Sh—Copy !req
893. That's gonna end up in my bank account.Copy !req
894. You forget I was watching you.
I don't think you did so well.Copy !req
895. What are you talkin'about? I did great.Copy !req
896. Really couldn't see too well.Copy !req
897. - How do you think he did?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
898. - He struck out.
- No surprise there.Copy !req
899. - Think she can see us?
- Nah.Copy !req
900. She wouldn't recognize us anyways.Copy !req
901. Hi, honey. I'm home.Copy !req
902. - Eric?
- Yeah?Copy !req
903. - I like you.
- I, I, I like you too.Copy !req
904. - You're my little hobgoblin.
- Number four.Copy !req
905. And I'd rub your head and make a wish,
but there's too many people watching.Copy !req
906. What do you mean?Copy !req
907. - She's touchin' him.
- No. That can't be happening.Copy !req
908. But I'd like to be
alone with you someplace.Copy !req
909. - Sure.
- No, not now, Eric.Copy !req
910. Right, I mean, we should wait.Copy !req
911. - Tomorrow night.
- That's a good time.Copy !req
912. A little getaway I know of.Copy !req
913. Don't tell anyone, okay?Copy !req
914. - Yeah.
- It's just gonna be our little secret.Copy !req
915. - You promise me?
- Right, right, absolutely. Why would I say anything?Copy !req
916. Meet me tomorrow night, 9:30.Copy !req
917. It is a big deal, because Puff was
more than your average balloonfish.Copy !req
918. - She represented to the children—
- She? Did you say, "she"?Copy !req
919. - Puff was a female, yes.
- I can't believe I gave her those notes.Copy !req
920. - You know what I mean? Hmm?
- What?Copy !req
921. - Talking about that girl Erin.
- Erin who? - Erin, the nurse.Copy !req
922. - Oh, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah, she was sharp.Copy !req
923. She was nice. I mean, I think
she was intimidated by me.Copy !req
924. That's probably why
she didn't call back.Copy !req
925. Along those lines, why don't we go out to
Zanzibar tonight and pick up a couple of ladies?Copy !req
926. You know what, I'm out tonight. I can't
do it. I'm just not feeling up to it.Copy !req
927. - You guys go.
- I'm just gonna nuke some fish sticks tonight.Copy !req
928. Look on the bright side. At least
you didn't lose your money to me.Copy !req
929. Let's go out. You gotta get back up
to the plate, man. Take your whiffs.Copy !req
930. - The prison will be privately
run and inmates charged...Copy !req
931. - for their stay.
- Hello? Who?Copy !req
932. - The penal system took a detour into the twilight zone...
- Hey, hey.Copy !req
933. - No, I'm not surprised at all.
- once again, thanks to the crafty ways...Copy !req
934. - Tonight?
- of Arty Milhous Lesser.Copy !req
935. - It began this afternoon when the Suffolk County zoning...
- Sure, tonight's great.Copy !req
936. - reluctantly awarded Lesser— -9:30's
perfect. Our little secret, huh?Copy !req
937. - Don't worry. I won't tell a soul.Copy !req
938. - Can I get you anything else?
- Just the check.Copy !req
939. - What are you doin'?
- Hey! Hey!Copy !req
940. Outside!Copy !req
941. Get goin'! Get goin'!Copy !req
942. What are ya both of
ya doin'here, ya freaks?Copy !req
943. Oh, don't wipe it off, Alan.
What? You didn't like it?Copy !req
944. I mean, it's not that I didn't like
it. It just came a little unexpectedly.Copy !req
945. Come on. You've been flirting with me
since I hired you as my tutor in September.Copy !req
946. - You didn't hire me as your tutor, all right?
- Yes, I did.Copy !req
947. I accepted the respon— I'm tryin' to
help you out in the class. That's all.Copy !req
948. - I'm doin' you a favor.
- Don't deny it, Alan.Copy !req
949. - Did you bring my notes, by the way?
- Oh.Copy !req
950. I forgot them, but they're home.
I'll give them to you tomorrow.Copy !req
951. Oh, good, well, you know, that was kind
of like the point of gettin' together.Copy !req
952. I mean, the thing is— It's just
I'm tryin' to finish a paper tonight.Copy !req
953. I mean, I kind of need the notes,
because that's what I took them for.Copy !req
954. Well, this is our date. I didn't know I
was supposed to bring a bunch of papers.Copy !req
955. It's not exactly. I mean, we were gonna get
together, and you were gonna give me the notes.Copy !req
956. I mean, that was sort of
the point of it, I thought.Copy !req
957. So you asked me to this
fancy restaurant on a date...Copy !req
958. so I could bring you back your notes.Copy !req
959. That's really nice.Copy !req
960. You look really beautiful.Copy !req
961. Thank you. I got dressed
up especially for our date.Copy !req
962. You know, I wonder if
it would be possible...Copy !req
963. not to keep using that word, okay?Copy !req
964. You're funny.Copy !req
965. Have you ever seen a whale
swimming around in the ocean?Copy !req
966. No.Copy !req
967. Maybe you'd like to go with me on this
whale watch. It's incredible out there.Copy !req
968. I mean, first of all, it's, like,
a half hour out on the boat...Copy !req
969. which is beautiful, and you're
looking over the expanse of the ocean.Copy !req
970. And— It's
a very, uh—Copy !req
971. Romantic would be the wrong word.Copy !req
972. Just a serene pleasant time, and I think
it'll perk up your interest in class.Copy !req
973. - You wanna go?
- Yeah.Copy !req
974. - All right. Well, let's see.
- So it's like another date.Copy !req
975. No, I would say more of
a low-pressure, low-key...Copy !req
976. kind of just a couple
of friends hanging out.Copy !req
977. I'd really be interested
in that. Seriously.Copy !req
978. - I read Moby Dick.
- Okay.Copy !req
979. Paging Dr. Betcher.
Paging Dr. Betcher, please.Copy !req
980. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
981. Paging Dr. Stateman.
Dr. Stateman, please.Copy !req
982. Bob's gay.Copy !req
983. - He is?
- Yeah.Copy !req
984. He came out on our last date.Copy !req
985. That whole macho thing— That
was, like, this huge cover-up.Copy !req
986. I'm sorry.Copy !req
987. Uh, you were right. I made,
like, this huge mistake.Copy !req
988. It's just that Bob was there, and I
thought that that was my only choice.Copy !req
989. You know, with men there's
always— There's a choice.Copy !req
990. It's just a really weak selection.Copy !req
991. The only person that can
make you happy is yourself.Copy !req
992. I know that sounds really hokey,
but I'm finding that to be true.Copy !req
993. Yeah. Don't you just hate men?Copy !req
994. Oh, God, I wish I did. That
would make my life so much easier.Copy !req
995. - Who's got the malaria patient in room 18?
- He's mine.Copy !req
996. Oh, to have been a mosquito
upon that man's cheek. Oh.Copy !req
997. Mr. de Silva, you're dressed?Copy !req
998. - Yes, I— - I need to give
you a gamma globulin shot.Copy !req
999. Would you take off your pants, please?Copy !req
1000. - I had all my shots yesterday.
- Not this one.Copy !req
1001. - Just take off my pants?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1002. - Just my pants, right?
- Just your pants.Copy !req
1003. Okay.Copy !req
1004. You like bossa nova?Copy !req
1005. - This gonna hurt?
- It's gonna be painful sitting down for a little while.Copy !req
1006. My flight is on Friday.Copy !req
1007. Where did you contract the malaria?Copy !req
1008. It was in Bolivia. I was on expedition.Copy !req
1009. I'm a musicologist. I
collect ethnic folk songs.Copy !req
1010. I'm going to Sao Paulo for holiday.Copy !req
1011. You like my country's music, right?Copy !req
1012. - I can tell there is a little bit of Brazil in you.
- Oh, yeah?Copy !req
1013. Mm-hmm. See, you are sad and happy.Copy !req
1014. You don't smile, but you are content.Copy !req
1015. You are sad and happy at the same time.Copy !req
1016. In Brazil we have a term
for that. It is saudade.Copy !req
1017. It's like melancholy,
nostalgia. It's very bossa nova.Copy !req
1018. It
means—Copy !req
1019. "Sadness has no end. Happiness does."Copy !req
1020. - I like that song.
- Yes, it's a very good song.Copy !req
1021. Listen, there's a club in Somerville that
plays Brazilian music if you are interested.Copy !req
1022. - I work the night shift.
- Well, what time do you get out?Copy !req
1023. I'm sorry. That was very forward of me.Copy !req
1024. - I do not ever, ever—
- Show me your hands.Copy !req
1025. I'm not married.Copy !req
1026. Well, you might have taken it off and put
it in your wallet. You know, men do that.Copy !req
1027. I'm not that kind of man.Copy !req
1028. My wallet just has pieces
of paper and lots of plastic.Copy !req
1029. I'm becoming a plastic person
I have so much plastic—Copy !req
1030. I get out at 7:30 in the morning.Copy !req
1031. Well, uh, my name is Andre de Silva.Copy !req
1032. And it was a pleasure having
you care for me, uh— What?Copy !req
1033. - Erin.
- Erin. Yes.Copy !req
1034. You should have said it was a pain
in the ass. An American would have.Copy !req
1035. Yes. Yes. Yes.Copy !req
1036. I know, but I am
Brazilian, and we—Copy !req
1037. Erin.Copy !req
1038. - See ya, Alan.
- All right, Stu.Copy !req
1039. - Take care, Stu.
- All right. See ya later.Copy !req
1040. - Hey, Alan.
- Hey, Ben.Copy !req
1041. - They want to see you up in Administration.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1042. Sit down.Copy !req
1043. We're all a little distracted
because of this latest incident.Copy !req
1044. Attendance has skyrocketed
because of all this publicity.Copy !req
1045. But all the kids want to see
now is the piranha exhibit.Copy !req
1046. Poor Puff, eh?Copy !req
1047. You volunteer a lot of hours here, Alan.Copy !req
1048. It's well worth it, Miss Shebola.Copy !req
1049. We think so too. We'd like
to start paying you for them.Copy !req
1050. It's great, because I
could really use the money.Copy !req
1051. Yuri Spinov needs a part-time assistant
in Physical Plant. He recommended you.Copy !req
1052. We know it's a change from
what you've been doing.Copy !req
1053. But it will put you on staff.Copy !req
1054. Well, I'll have to just
think about it a little bit.Copy !req
1055. Of course. Let us know by Monday?Copy !req
1056. Okay.Copy !req
1057. - Oh, God.
- This is to South American men with good sweaters.Copy !req
1058. - But you should go back.
- Hmm.Copy !req
1059. You really should. The
people are so wonderful.Copy !req
1060. That spirit— You don't
find it anywhere else.Copy !req
1061. And— And the land. The—
The beaches are wonderful.Copy !req
1062. - Some day I will go back.
- You should go back. I'm going back.Copy !req
1063. - Yeah, why?
- This city—Copy !req
1064. It's all schools and hospitals
and bars and graveyards.Copy !req
1065. The young people here, all they
do is— They study, and they drink.Copy !req
1066. It's terrible. I think one's
school year should be spent...Copy !req
1067. you know, by the ocean walking with
someone that they love very much...Copy !req
1068. eating fried
fish by the, uh—Copy !req
1069. Anyway, you should go
back. You should go there.Copy !req
1070. I think you should be somewhere warm.
I think it would be good for your heart.Copy !req
1071. I don't know. I-I— I guess I feel that if
I left right now I would be running away.Copy !req
1072. Running away? I don't understand.Copy !req
1073. If you're running away, somebody's chasing
you. So what is it that's chasing you, huh?Copy !req
1074. - Uh— - Uh, personal
business. I understand.Copy !req
1075. So let's make a toast. To perhaps the
most beautiful woman that ever lived.Copy !req
1076. - Oh, no.
- Yes, the most beautiful woman that ever lived which is you.Copy !req
1077. - Let's not confuse matters.
- And to me, the greatest man that ever lived.Copy !req
1078. Okay.Copy !req
1079. - Cheers.
- Cheers.Copy !req
1080. - Oh, geez.
- I'm going to buy you the most expensive...Copy !req
1081. $5 bottle of wine you ever saw.Copy !req
1082. Look what I got us: a bottle
of wine and a corkscrew. Hey.Copy !req
1083. No, no, don't, don't.Copy !req
1084. I need to get some air.
I need to get out of here.Copy !req
1085. Grab your binoculars and cameras,
folks, and get up on the deck...Copy !req
1086. because in another few minutes, we'll be
entering the humpback whale feeding grounds.Copy !req
1087. What we have here is hands
down the best whale watching—Copy !req
1088. You all right?Copy !req
1089. My stomach is just,
like, wobbly, gobbly.Copy !req
1090. You know what's good. Just
look out there on the horizon.Copy !req
1091. - Where?
- The horizon would be where the land and the sea meet.Copy !req
1092. Right. Just look directly out
there and take a couple of deep—Copy !req
1093. - Okay.
- Can you breathe deeply?Copy !req
1094. Feelin' a little better now?Copy !req
1095. Huh. Whoa.Copy !req
1096. Look at that! Spectacular!Copy !req
1097. Oh, shit!Copy !req
1098. Alan, I'm really sorry.
I'm being such a drag.Copy !req
1099. I'm keeping you from watching the
fish. Why don't you just go up there?Copy !req
1100. - I'll be all right here.
- No, no, no, no.Copy !req
1101. - No, go.
- No, I wouldn't dream of it.Copy !req
1102. - No, I feel really bad. - It's
just like a once-in-a-lifetime thing.Copy !req
1103. It's not a big deal.
No, I'm just kidding.Copy !req
1104. - I'll come back out when you're feelin' better.
- Yeah?Copy !req
1105. - Without you, but I'll come back out.
- Oh, you. Tsk.Copy !req
1106. You know what. I'm really not feeling very
well. I think I should just walk myself home.Copy !req
1107. No, I-I-I think you
should stay. It's fine.Copy !req
1108. - I don't think I'm going to be very
good company right now. - No, this is—Copy !req
1109. This is the perfect company.
Look— Look at the water.Copy !req
1110. That's very beautiful, like, like you.Copy !req
1111. See, it's— You can be alone, but to be
alone with someone else who is alone—Copy !req
1112. Alone together—
That— That is perfect.Copy !req
1113. - Do you know what I mean?
- I know what you mean.Copy !req
1114. - Relaxation is
everything. It's the answer.Copy !req
1115. See, what relaxes you? Tell me.Copy !req
1116. You, um— You
like to fly, right?Copy !req
1117. - I am terrified of flying.
- Oh, perfect.Copy !req
1118. So you are in a two-seater...Copy !req
1119. and it is being flown by my father who
weighs 462 pounds, because he lost 10.Copy !req
1120. And he can't see out of
his right eye— his left—Copy !req
1121. It changes. And the
plane goes like this.Copy !req
1122. And there's clouds inside
the plane, outside the plane.Copy !req
1123. And then all of a sudden, you're
getting sick. You're about to scream.Copy !req
1124. And then the plane just drops,
and you look out the window.Copy !req
1125. Then it clears, and there's beautiful
sunlight in the plane, and you look out...Copy !req
1126. and you see Corcovado.Copy !req
1127. - Oh!
- Ah, and the beaches, and then the plane just glides in.Copy !req
1128. The door opens, and you're there.
You relax, and it's perfect.Copy !req
1129. - It's beautiful.
- Yes, very beautiful.Copy !req
1130. So why don't you, uh, come with me...Copy !req
1131. to Sao Paulo?Copy !req
1132. - You're joking.
- No, I'm not joking.Copy !req
1133. - God! Look at your
tattoo. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1134. That is, like, so cool.
That's like Popeye.Copy !req
1135. It's really hard.Copy !req
1136. - You know— You
know, Julie— - Yeah?Copy !req
1137. Seriously, you know, I
know what you're thinking.Copy !req
1138. - And I mean—
Really, I— - Yeah?Copy !req
1139. - What am I thinking?
- I just invited you out here...Copy !req
1140. because I wanted you to
experience this with me.Copy !req
1141. - Oh.
- All right? I'm sorry. I don't wanna hurt your feelings.Copy !req
1142. - So you don't have any desire to kiss me?
- Oh, no, no.Copy !req
1143. - You don't?
- No, of course, I have a desire to kiss you.Copy !req
1144. - But I just think it would
be best— - I like you a lot.Copy !req
1145. Oh, I like you a lot too.Copy !req
1146. - You do?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1147. Geez—Copy !req
1148. - I will take care of everything. Visa. -
I-I-I can't believe you're asking me this.Copy !req
1149. - We're strangers.
- We are not strangers.Copy !req
1150. I have known you at least
two lifetimes that I know of.Copy !req
1151. - Oh, don't give me that bullshit, please.
- How is that bullshit?Copy !req
1152. - I know how you feel.
- I don't know what I feel.Copy !req
1153. I have to spend Thanksgiving
with my mother in Manhattan.Copy !req
1154. No, no, that's wrong.
Forget your mother.Copy !req
1155. - I love my mother. -
Yes, I love your mother—Copy !req
1156. I don't know her. When I know
her, I will love her, but—Copy !req
1157. Do this for you, darling. Please, come.Copy !req
1158. - No, no, no, no.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
1159. Yes, come for a little bit.Copy !req
1160. - I don't think this is really gonna work out like this.
- Why?Copy !req
1161. I
mean—Copy !req
1162. I-I just want this to mean something.Copy !req
1163. It means a lot to me.Copy !req
1164. I'm gonna walk myself home from here.Copy !req
1165. Listen, I leave in three days.Copy !req
1166. Three days.Copy !req
1167. I fly planes.Copy !req
1168. I was adopted. My father—
That's not my father.Copy !req
1169. I'm not going to get fat.Copy !req
1170. - Hey.
- Hi.Copy !req
1171. - You cut your hair.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1172. Uh, well, we finished the job.Copy !req
1173. We, uh, stopped them from buildin'
the dam. We saved the land...Copy !req
1174. the reservation, the river, everything.Copy !req
1175. What are you doin' in Boston?Copy !req
1176. Uh,
well—Copy !req
1177. We— We saved the
burial grounds.Copy !req
1178. And, uh, the Tantoonis
were very grateful.Copy !req
1179. They were so grateful that they
decided to build a casino on it.Copy !req
1180. You know? It's just all about money.Copy !req
1181. You know, my heart isn't in it anymore.Copy !req
1182. It was just really lonely down there.Copy !req
1183. I really missed you, and I'm wrong.Copy !req
1184. You're the one...Copy !req
1185. who doesn't need to change.Copy !req
1186. I'm the one who needs to change.Copy !req
1187. I don't want you to change.Copy !req
1188. I mean, don't ever change.
You know what I mean.Copy !req
1189. - Come on.
- The paper.Copy !req
1190. - This better be good. Did you
spell-check this? - I spell-checked it.Copy !req
1191. - I slaved for hours.
- All right.Copy !req
1192. I'm trying to make what we've
got together mean something.Copy !req
1193. I know. It means everything.Copy !req
1194. In northern Brazil, people
who believe in Candomble...Copy !req
1195. they offer this to the
goddess of the sea, Iemanja.Copy !req
1196. Now, there is also supposed to be
fried fish. I thought better of it.Copy !req
1197. Um, what is this offering for?Copy !req
1198. Good luck.Copy !req
1199. - What is this?
- I leave tomorrow morning.Copy !req
1200. Erin, will you come with me?Copy !req
1201. You are crazy.Copy !req
1202. Yes, crazy for you.Copy !req
1203. There goes Swifty!Copy !req
1204. One, two, three.Copy !req
1205. A lot of worry about nothing. Uh,
busted blood vessel or somethin'.Copy !req
1206. Guess I gotta lighten
up on the booze, huh?Copy !req
1207. That's great, Frank. You know,
I'm really glad you're gonna live.Copy !req
1208. But actually I just
came by to give you this.Copy !req
1209. This is way more than
just one installment.Copy !req
1210. I got a part-time job,
and I'm gettin' you...Copy !req
1211. off my back once and for all, all right?Copy !req
1212. Hey, Frank, what the hell are you doin'?Copy !req
1213. Certain associates of mine really appreciated
what you did, how it all worked out.Copy !req
1214. The attendance at the aquarium
has doubled. It didn't work out.Copy !req
1215. The point is, you worked out, Alan.Copy !req
1216. And this...Copy !req
1217. is your reward.Copy !req
1218. Hey, Arty! Uh, this
is, uh, my boy, Alan.Copy !req
1219. - Alan, say hello to Mr. Lesser.
- It's good to finally meet ya.Copy !req
1220. Frankie's told me a lot about
ya. He said you were a student.Copy !req
1221. You look like you've been out of short
pants for a while now. What are you, 40, 41?Copy !req
1222. - No, I'm 35.
- 35, huh?Copy !req
1223. You're at a pivotal
junction in your life, Alan.Copy !req
1224. It's good to have you aboard.Copy !req
1225. Greyhounds now
entering the—Copy !req
1226. Frankie, we got a wacko down on
the new waterfront place there.Copy !req
1227. Come on! He's makin'
waves. Do somethin'.Copy !req
1228. Or maybe use this new
guy here? Send him down.Copy !req
1229. I'll get on it right away, Mr. Lesser.Copy !req
1230. Number Five, Satin Flame, 70 pounds.Copy !req
1231. Number Six, Burden's Drought, 73.Copy !req
1232. Number Seven, It Is Gently, 72.Copy !req
1233. Number Eight, Jar Man, 75.Copy !req
1234. - Hello?
- Erin, hi.Copy !req
1235. - It's me. Are you packing?
- Hi.Copy !req
1236. - Oh, my sweet.
- Yeah, I'm packing.Copy !req
1237. You know, I want to come
over and help you pack.Copy !req
1238. - We should pack together.
- Um, no, no, no, don't.Copy !req
1239. I'm sorry, darling. I
get so eager to see you.Copy !req
1240. I'll see you at the airport tomorrow.
I'll be there in the morning.Copy !req
1241. What does that mean?Copy !req
1242. Ah, what this
means, darling—Copy !req
1243. It means, "I want your love for me.Copy !req
1244. The two of us like this until the end.Copy !req
1245. I do not want sadness anymore.
I will make you happy...Copy !req
1246. and destiny is what tells me this."Copy !req
1247. Erin, I will make you smile.Copy !req
1248. I swear I will, Erin.Copy !req
1249. So, uh, tomorrow at the airport, right?Copy !req
1250. - Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow.
- Good, and, please, a small bag.Copy !req
1251. All you need is toothpaste
and a little two-piece—Copy !req
1252. Puff?Copy !req
1253. What time your train is
gonna arrive tomorrow?Copy !req
1254. Oh, it's gonna be so fabulous.Copy !req
1255. Everybody's gonna be there.
Everybody is dying to see you.Copy !req
1256. Dodge is gonna be there.Copy !req
1257. Brazil, wow. Does that
sound beautiful, huh?Copy !req
1258. I hear that's beautiful this
time of the year. Brazil.Copy !req
1259. That's way past Medford, Brazil.Copy !req
1260. - What time's your flight?
- 9:35.Copy !req
1261. - You're not gonna make it.
- I'm sorry?Copy !req
1262. You're not gonna make
it. The tunnel is jammed.Copy !req
1263. Oh, I have to make it.Copy !req
1264. The tunnel is clogged.Copy !req
1265. All right, um— All right, take me
to Bowdoin Station, the Blue Line.Copy !req
1266. Airport Station next.Copy !req
1267. Change here for the airport
terminal shuttle. Next stop, Airport.Copy !req
1268. This is Airport Station.Copy !req
1269. Excuse me.Copy !req
1270. I'm trying to get out of here.
Why don't you just knock me down?Copy !req
1271. Come on!Copy !req
1272. This is Airport Station.Copy !req
1273. Change here for the
airport terminal shuttle.Copy !req
1274. This is Airport Station.Copy !req
1275. Change here for the Logan
Airport terminal shuttle.Copy !req
1276. Wonderland Station will be next.Copy !req
1277. Next stop, Wonderland.Copy !req
1278. Headset?Copy !req
1279. - In-flight movie?
- Yes. Thank you.Copy !req
1280. - Headset?
- Uh, yes, please.Copy !req
1281. - In-flight movie? - None for
me, thanks, and none for the lady.Copy !req
1282. - Headset?
- Yes.Copy !req
1283. So— You are
traveling alone?Copy !req
1284. - Yes.
- Mmm.Copy !req
1285. And you?Copy !req
1286. Uh, yes.Copy !req
1287. It seems... always alone.Copy !req
1288. You travel for business?Copy !req
1289. No, no, uh, for pleasure.Copy !req
1290. Ah! Pleasure.Copy !req
1291. Well, you must like my
country's music then.Copy !req
1292. Yes, I do.Copy !req
1293. That's beautiful, but what does it mean?Copy !req
1294. Ah, what this
means— May I?Copy !req
1295. It means this, darling.Copy !req
1296. - Over there?
- Right over here.Copy !req
1297. - Feelin' a little better?
- Yeah, a little. Thanks. I—Copy !req
1298. - This way. - I'm
sorry about that. I—Copy !req
1299. - No, no, no. That's— That's
totally all right. - I think I just—Copy !req
1300. I just needed some air or something.Copy !req
1301. - The train was so crowded.
- I know, yeah. I mean, that Airport Station is horrible.Copy !req
1302. - People are, like, shoving.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1303. They're in such a rush
to get outta there.Copy !req
1304. - Sit down.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1305. Yeah, my father used to bring
us to this beach all the time.Copy !req
1306. I still come here every
day to read or relax.Copy !req
1307. Do you? Every day, that's so nice.Copy !req
1308. Well, I think it's important to have
some daily ritual in your life...Copy !req
1309. that gives it a sense
of consistency, you know?Copy !req
1310. C-C-Consistency?Copy !req
1311. Yeah.Copy !req
1312. But, uh, um, wouldn't
you say that, uh...Copy !req
1313. "Consistency is the, uh,
hobgoblin of little minds"?Copy !req
1314. Well, actually, it's:
"A foolish consistency...Copy !req
1315. is the hobgoblin of little minds."Copy !req
1316. - That's Ralph Waldo Emerson.
- Waldo Emerson, right.Copy !req
1317. But I don't think coming to a place
like this every day is foolish.Copy !req
1318. No. No, not at all.Copy !req
1319. Because I think it's important
sometimes just to sit in a quiet place...Copy !req
1320. and stare out at
the sea and just—Copy !req
1321. Contemplate something beautiful.Copy !req
1322. It's funny, though.Copy !req
1323. I never realized such a beautiful
beach was so close to Boston.Copy !req
1324. Well, it's not always this nice.Copy !req
1325. Um—Copy !req
1326. Well, I guess I better get home.Copy !req
1327. - You wanna take a walk?
- I'd love it.Copy !req
1328. - Great.
- Okay.Copy !req
1329. Ah, it's right down here.Copy !req
