We can go home right away, or maybe we could go

Yeah, that makes sense. - Yeah.

that watching celebrities talk in the form of lines
can help people cope with life and, like,

- Hmm.
What about you, Elliott?
- What about me, what, honey?
- What...gives you meaning?
- Honestly, lately, it's been all about, like,
connecting with the unexpected.
Like, my work literally has me engaging
with the kind of people we would all regularly avoid,
which I guess is just kind of exciting for me.
You know, to represent the people
I have a hard time loving. It's a challenge.
But it's also kind of a fascinating place

you know, to be honest,
I don't know if I believe anything that I just said.

Okay? You just-- you just get up.

All right, look, I know, Dory, that you're going through...
and have been going through some sort of...
unique trauma or something,
but generally, we have it very easy.
Or do you think starving people in other countries
ask themselves these questions?
Do you think that our ancestors did?
No! They just got up, all right?
They got up, and then they painted
their little caves or made tools
out of a saber-toothed tiger tooth or whatever, okay?
They just...they just did.
They didn't think about it.
They just got up.

I don't even know what I'm gonna do when I get home.

Dory.

- Dor, you're great.
- I'm a hazard.
- Dor, I think you just have to really remember
that, like, you didn't want
any of this to happen, you know?
- Yeah, most of this stuff happened to us.
You know, we--we didn't have any real agency
at any given moment.
You know, we have to start taking
more responsibility for how little responsibility
we've actually had in our lives.
- I think there's something...
wrong with me.
[unsettling music]

And I'm just terrified that...
That there's this person...
