and I was like,

"Bro, you'’re telling me
I can eat what I want
68
00:06:02,603 --> 00:06:06,041

and wear what I want?

more freedom,

a little bit of time,
you know, so you don'’t...

85
00:06:39,161 --> 00:06:41,381
I went straight
from the shoe to the street.
86
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:44,645
You know, it'’s probably good
that I got--
87
00:06:44,732 --> 00:06:47,648
I got some time to adjust,
right?
88
00:06:47,735 --> 00:06:49,911
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, I was--
89
00:06:49,998 --> 00:06:54,742
I was sitting with my grandma
one night and she said, uh...
90
00:06:54,829 --> 00:06:56,961
"Michael, it'’s so weird.
91
00:06:57,048 --> 00:06:59,399
"The day is so slow,
but then at the end,
92
00:06:59,486 --> 00:07:02,184
it feels like
it lasted a minute."
93
00:07:02,271 --> 00:07:04,099
[LAUGHS]
I know, right?
94
00:07:04,186 --> 00:07:07,929
You know, I told her,
"That'’s prison time."
95
00:07:08,016 --> 00:07:10,192
The day is slow
because nothing happens.
96
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,586
And when it'’s gone,
97
00:07:12,673 --> 00:07:14,718
it feels like it never
even started, you know?
98
00:07:14,805 --> 00:07:18,548
You don'’t even remember nothing
because nothing happened.
99
00:07:18,635 --> 00:07:20,332
Wow.
100
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:22,683
That'’s deep, Michael.
101
00:07:22,770 --> 00:07:24,075
You know what was weird,
though?
102
00:07:25,163 --> 00:07:26,426
What'’s that?
103
00:07:26,513 --> 00:07:29,429
Wearing a mask in a store.
104
00:07:30,865 --> 00:07:33,084
I-I couldn'’t even get a mask.
105
00:07:33,171 --> 00:07:34,825
I mean, first time,
106
00:07:34,912 --> 00:07:37,828
I had to use this bandanna
my sister gave me.
107
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:40,440
And I was like,
"I don'’t know about this."
108
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:42,877
I mean, because last time
I entered a store
109
00:07:42,964 --> 00:07:44,835
with a bandanna on, I got shot.
110
00:07:44,922 --> 00:07:47,751
I mean, shot and arrested.
111
00:07:47,838 --> 00:07:50,362
She was like,
"Never mind that
112
00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:52,800
because now they won'’t even
let you in without a mask."
113
00:07:52,887 --> 00:07:56,543
So I go shopping
with this bandanna on.
114
00:07:56,630 --> 00:07:58,283
I mean, I always
had this feeling
115
00:07:58,370 --> 00:08:00,372
that people check me out.
116
00:08:00,460 --> 00:08:03,767
I mean, I know they can tell
I'’ve been inside, so...
117
00:08:03,854 --> 00:08:07,118
I think that'’s probably
just in your head though, no?
118
00:08:07,205 --> 00:08:08,990
Mm, no, it isn'’t.
119
00:08:09,077 --> 00:08:10,861
Trust me.
120
00:08:10,948 --> 00:08:14,038
I mean, even if they don'’t know
what it is exactly,
121
00:08:14,125 --> 00:08:16,476
they can tell there'’s something
different about me.
122
00:08:17,781 --> 00:08:19,391
It'’s like they can smell it.
123
00:08:20,654 --> 00:08:22,482
I don'’t mean literally.
124
00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:27,965
I smell real nice these days,
believe that.
125
00:08:28,052 --> 00:08:29,358
I believe it.
126
00:08:31,665 --> 00:08:37,235
Anyways, I'’m already
stressing out
127
00:08:37,322 --> 00:08:38,846
about being around people,
128
00:08:38,933 --> 00:08:40,369
and now I got to wear
a bandanna
129
00:08:40,456 --> 00:08:44,242
like I'’m robbing the place.
130
00:08:44,329 --> 00:08:46,636
The guy at the cash register,
131
00:08:46,723 --> 00:08:49,421
I'’m thinking he'’s gonna pull
a shotgun any second.
132
00:08:49,509 --> 00:08:51,989
So I start sweating, you know,
and my heartbeat'’s up.
133
00:08:54,035 --> 00:08:57,821
And he rings me up and he goes,
134
00:08:57,908 --> 00:09:00,432
"Did you find everything
you were looking for?"
135
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,173
And I'’m like, "What?"
136
00:09:02,260 --> 00:09:04,001
I don'’t understand
the question,
137
00:09:04,088 --> 00:09:05,655
which I actually didn'’t
because I'’m spaced out
138
00:09:05,742 --> 00:09:07,614
and I got
a fucking bandanna on,
139
00:09:07,744 --> 00:09:10,094
and I'’m not even used to
hearing this kind of question.
140
00:09:10,181 --> 00:09:12,270
So he repeats the question.
141
00:09:12,357 --> 00:09:15,883
And I'’m like, "Uh, yes, sir."
142
00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:19,321
And then I skip a beat,
and then I go, "Thanks."
143
00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:24,456
And then what happened?
144
00:09:25,545 --> 00:09:26,720
Nothing. Nothing.
145
00:09:26,807 --> 00:09:27,982
You know what he said?
146
00:09:28,069 --> 00:09:30,375
"Have a good night."
147
00:09:30,462 --> 00:09:33,248
And then I walk out,
and then I realize...
148
00:09:34,466 --> 00:09:36,381
Damn.
149
00:09:36,468 --> 00:09:39,950
No, I-I didn'’t find
everything I was looking for.

to get out of there

Oh, yeah.
157
00:09:53,834 --> 00:09:55,226
Unless I have
a written-down list,
158
00:09:55,313 --> 00:09:56,793
I'’m always gonna
forget something.
159
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,143
I can'’t retain
that kind of information.
160
00:10:01,363 --> 00:10:03,060
Yeah, I got used to it, though.
161
00:10:05,367 --> 00:10:07,151
You know, the, uh...
162
00:10:07,238 --> 00:10:08,979
The mask, I mean.
163
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:10,590
That'’s good.
164
00:10:12,940 --> 00:10:14,637
People can think
whatever they want.
165
00:10:14,724 --> 00:10:16,596
You know, they can'’t see me.
166
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,032
You know, I don'’t care
what they think.
167
00:10:20,512 --> 00:10:21,644
Right.
168
00:10:27,389 --> 00:10:29,217
I'’m not a bad person.
169
00:10:31,219 --> 00:10:32,568
I know.
170
00:10:34,570 --> 00:10:36,137
How-- How do you know?
171
00:10:36,224 --> 00:10:37,878
Well, I guess I just mean
172
00:10:37,965 --> 00:10:40,184
that I don'’t have any reason
to think otherwise.
173
00:10:43,579 --> 00:10:46,626
My father, he went to the pen
when I was 6.
174
00:10:55,243 --> 00:10:57,898
You know, he just died
like three years ago.
175
00:10:57,985 --> 00:11:00,248
Hmm. Sorry to hear that.
176
00:11:02,554 --> 00:11:04,513
We never had a relationship.

I-I was raised by my grandma.
178
00:11:07,951 --> 00:11:12,303
My mom, after he got arrested,
you know, she said to me,

"Look, I can handle

and you screen out
all the sick shit people post.

then they accused me
of posting sick shit myself.

get the joke.

I just told them
they will have problems,
1251
01:04:26,886 --> 01:04:28,453
problems that might not
be solvable,
1252
01:04:28,540 --> 01:04:30,629
which is just a fact.
1253
01:04:30,716 --> 01:04:32,892
It'’s not like I want them
to despair.
1254
01:04:32,979 --> 01:04:34,198
And then what happened?
1255
01:04:34,285 --> 01:04:35,982
Someone complains.
1256
01:04:36,069 --> 01:04:37,244
Dean calls me in,
1257
01:04:37,331 --> 01:04:38,724
he tells me it'’s wrong of me
1258
01:04:38,811 --> 01:04:40,813
to impose my politics
on students.
1259
01:04:40,900 --> 01:04:43,990
My politics.
You believe that shit?
1260
01:04:44,077 --> 01:04:45,644
He never liked me.
1261
01:04:45,731 --> 01:04:47,385
He had it for me
from minute one.
1262
01:04:47,472 --> 01:04:49,866
So I told him to get
the fuck off my back.
1263
01:04:49,953 --> 01:04:52,781
But he kept talking
and I just...
1264
01:04:52,869 --> 01:04:54,783
I just snapped.
1265
01:04:55,872 --> 01:04:57,047
[CHUCKLES]
1266
01:04:57,134 --> 01:04:59,963
I punched him in the mouth
1267
01:05:00,050 --> 01:05:02,139
and ended up getting fired.
1268
01:05:02,226 --> 01:05:04,532
Yeah.
Yeah, it was pretty bad timing.
1269
01:05:04,619 --> 01:05:07,405
My divorce had just
been finalized.
1270
01:05:07,492 --> 01:05:10,756
Part of the reason
I was at the end of my rope.
1271
01:05:10,843 --> 01:05:14,412
So here I am, twice discarded,
unemployed and divorced.
1272
01:05:14,499 --> 01:05:17,415
No children, no savings.
1273
01:05:17,502 --> 01:05:19,721
No friends, really.
1274
01:05:21,810 --> 01:05:26,424
I don'’t have an urge
to kill myself.
1275
01:05:26,511 --> 01:05:28,992
I'’m just looking
at it objectively.
1276
01:05:32,647 --> 01:05:33,822
I...
1277
01:05:35,563 --> 01:05:37,696
understand how you feel.
1278
01:05:37,783 --> 01:05:39,263
Yeah, but it'’s not
about feelings.
1279
01:05:39,350 --> 01:05:41,830
It'’s about a rational outlook.
1280
01:05:41,918 --> 01:05:44,355
Are you a religious person?
1281
01:05:44,442 --> 01:05:46,835
Not in the conventional sense.
1282
01:05:46,923 --> 01:05:48,707
[CHUCKLES]
What does that mean?
1283
01:05:50,970 --> 01:05:52,624
Well...
1284
01:05:52,711 --> 01:05:55,496
I don'’t worship.
1285
01:05:55,583 --> 01:05:57,237
I don'’t take religion literally.
1286
01:05:57,324 --> 01:06:01,241
But I guess
I embrace the mystery.
1287
01:06:01,328 --> 01:06:03,069
I find certitude boring.
1288
01:06:03,156 --> 01:06:06,812
That includes this certitude
that God doesn'’t exist.
1289
01:06:06,899 --> 01:06:08,640
I used to believe in God.
1290
01:06:08,727 --> 01:06:13,819
Over the years, He just started
to look so incompetent.
1291
01:06:13,906 --> 01:06:17,301
I mean, it'’s either
incompetent or evil, right?
1292
01:06:17,388 --> 01:06:20,869
Allowing so much wrongness.
1293
01:06:20,957 --> 01:06:23,220
Except...
Except what?
1294
01:06:23,307 --> 01:06:27,224
Well, isn'’t a universe
in which wrong things can happen
1295
01:06:27,311 --> 01:06:29,922
the only possible
moral universe?
1296
01:06:30,009 --> 01:06:33,230
Mm, you could reverse that.
1297
01:06:33,317 --> 01:06:36,494
Isn'’t a universe
where wrong things are routine
1298
01:06:36,581 --> 01:06:38,887
fundamentally immoral?
1299
01:06:38,975 --> 01:06:40,498
Moral choice still exists.
1300
01:06:40,585 --> 01:06:42,413
No one chooses to suffer.
1301
01:06:42,500 --> 01:06:44,719
It'’s random and meaningless
and fucking inevitable.
1302
01:06:44,806 --> 01:06:49,463
But isn'’t suffering just
the other side of happiness?
1303
01:06:49,550 --> 01:06:52,336
Isn'’t loss
just the other side of love?
1304
01:06:52,423 --> 01:06:55,861
You could say that loss
1305
01:06:55,948 --> 01:06:58,342
is the exact measure of love.
1306
01:06:58,429 --> 01:07:01,693
You could say that suffering
makes happiness possible.
1307
01:07:03,390 --> 01:07:05,262
Or you could say
it makes it a fraud.
1308
01:07:07,438 --> 01:07:10,615
Anyway, like I said,
1309
01:07:10,702 --> 01:07:13,357
I look at it
as a practical question.
1310
01:07:15,054 --> 01:07:16,969
Sometimes, the energy
required to live
1311
01:07:17,056 --> 01:07:18,971
simply exceeds the benefit.
1312
01:07:21,147 --> 01:07:23,410
The truth is,
there is no rational argument
1313
01:07:23,497 --> 01:07:25,151
against ending your life.
1314
01:07:25,238 --> 01:07:26,631
I'’m not sure about that.
1315
01:07:26,718 --> 01:07:28,154
Come on. Think.
1316
01:07:29,764 --> 01:07:32,202
Why do religious people
object to it?
1317
01:07:32,289 --> 01:07:33,986
They consider it a sin.
1318
01:07:34,073 --> 01:07:37,424
And yet they worship martyrs
1319
01:07:37,511 --> 01:07:41,298
because they believed
real life comes after.
1320
01:07:41,385 --> 01:07:44,083
So Christians would dare
Romans to kill them,
1321
01:07:44,170 --> 01:07:47,043
like suicide by cop
on a mass scale,
1322
01:07:48,653 --> 01:07:50,524
Then they became
the dominant religion.
1323
01:07:50,611 --> 01:07:52,091
And the priests realized
1324
01:07:52,178 --> 01:07:54,398
they better start
condemning suicide,
1325
01:07:54,485 --> 01:07:58,097
or Christianity would become
a giant death cult.
1326
01:07:58,184 --> 01:08:00,273
And they would all
be expected to die...
1327
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,101
Religious people--
...horribly.
1328
01:08:02,188 --> 01:08:03,624
I'’m sorry, what?
1329
01:08:03,711 --> 01:08:05,757
Religious people
aren'’t the only ones
1330
01:08:05,844 --> 01:08:07,715
who commit suicide.
1331
01:08:07,802 --> 01:08:10,414
Well, the secular argument
just replaced sin with crime.
1332
01:08:10,501 --> 01:08:11,937
It'’s still a fallacy
1333
01:08:12,024 --> 01:08:13,591
because if you can be
the victim
1334
01:08:13,678 --> 01:08:15,549
and the culprit
at the same time,
1335
01:08:15,636 --> 01:08:18,248
the concept of crime
doesn'’t make any sense.
1336
01:08:19,945 --> 01:08:21,555
The only way
that taking your life
1337
01:08:21,642 --> 01:08:25,124
can be considered criminal
or even unethical
1338
01:08:25,211 --> 01:08:28,606
is if one assumes
that the life you'’re taking
1339
01:08:28,693 --> 01:08:31,348
is not actually yours.
1340
01:08:31,435 --> 01:08:35,656
It belongs to God,
to the king, to society,
1341
01:08:35,743 --> 01:08:38,746
to your parents, your children,
1342
01:08:38,833 --> 01:08:42,924
the ones you'’re working for,
responsible for.
1343
01:08:43,011 --> 01:08:46,145
But if I am not mine,
1344
01:08:46,232 --> 01:08:48,321
is there such a thing as I?
1345
01:08:50,062 --> 01:08:51,498
You know, in fact,
that train of thought
1346
01:08:51,585 --> 01:08:53,500
just ends up validating suicide
1347
01:08:53,587 --> 01:08:56,155
because the only way to reclaim
your life as yours
1348
01:08:56,242 --> 01:08:57,635
is to actually end it.
1349
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:01,726
I don'’t necessarily want
to reclaim anything.
1350
01:09:01,813 --> 01:09:04,946
I'’m just-- Just suggesting
there'’s no rational argument
1351
01:09:05,033 --> 01:09:06,731
against killing yourself.
1352
01:09:06,818 --> 01:09:08,994
That'’s not an argument for it.
1353
01:09:09,081 --> 01:09:11,257
Yeah, you don'’t need
an argument for it.
1354
01:09:11,344 --> 01:09:12,998
Just the realization
that you don'’t want
1355
01:09:13,085 --> 01:09:15,783
to do this anymore.
1356
01:09:15,870 --> 01:09:17,959
You don'’t even know
how to do it.
1357
01:09:20,658 --> 01:09:23,574
It happened over a long time,
day by day,
1358
01:09:23,661 --> 01:09:26,142
without drums and trumpets.
1359
01:09:27,882 --> 01:09:30,233
The unhappiness
just grabbed up on you
1360
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,800
like a shadow
ever so slowly
1361
01:09:32,887 --> 01:09:35,760
until every corner of your life
was in the dark
1362
01:09:35,847 --> 01:09:38,154
and your whole lifestyle
feeling like a--
1363
01:09:38,241 --> 01:09:40,634
Like a pantomime.
1364
01:09:40,721 --> 01:09:43,420
You play the part.
Stick to the script.
1365
01:09:43,507 --> 01:09:45,857
You smile when
you'’re smiled to.
1366
01:09:45,944 --> 01:09:48,164
But eventually, you can'’t help
catching yourself.
1367
01:09:48,251 --> 01:09:49,730
This...
1368
01:09:49,817 --> 01:09:53,125
This person,
this character, it'’s...
1369
01:09:54,344 --> 01:09:56,259
It'’s not you.
1370
01:09:56,346 --> 01:09:57,999
Never was.
1371
01:09:58,086 --> 01:09:59,479
Someone else wrote it.
1372
01:09:59,566 --> 01:10:00,785
You were just cast
in the role
1373
01:10:00,872 --> 01:10:02,395
without even asking for it,
1374
01:10:02,482 --> 01:10:04,571
and the costume got stuck
to your skin.
1375
01:10:04,658 --> 01:10:09,228
You just want to rip it off,
the costume, the mask.
1376
01:10:09,315 --> 01:10:12,144
But underneath,
there'’s just another mask
1377
01:10:12,231 --> 01:10:15,147
because the unhappiness
is always ashamed of itself.
1378
01:10:16,670 --> 01:10:18,324
I understand.
1379
01:10:18,411 --> 01:10:19,630
Do you?
1380
01:10:20,848 --> 01:10:22,763
I think so.
1381
01:10:22,850 --> 01:10:24,678
So you agree?
1382
01:10:24,765 --> 01:10:26,898
I didn'’t say that.
1383
01:10:26,985 --> 01:10:28,552
Well, give me a reason.
1384
01:10:30,902 --> 01:10:32,643
Do you need one now?
1385
01:10:32,730 --> 01:10:34,297
What do you think?
1386
01:10:36,951 --> 01:10:40,433
I'’m sorry, let me ask this
more directly.
1387
01:10:40,520 --> 01:10:43,131
Have you made a plan
to commit suicide?
1388
01:10:43,219 --> 01:10:45,351
Oh, boy, did I ever.
1389
01:10:45,438 --> 01:10:47,310
Today?
Why not?
1390
01:10:50,226 --> 01:10:51,792
Did you take any steps?
Stop.
1391
01:10:51,879 --> 01:10:54,012
I know the drill.
Let me save you the time.
1392
01:10:54,099 --> 01:10:55,927
I'’m not gonna call
anyone else,
1393
01:10:56,014 --> 01:10:57,711
especially at a place
that'’s gonna trace my call
1394
01:10:57,798 --> 01:10:59,278
and send someone here.
1395
01:10:59,365 --> 01:11:01,672
So let'’s just keep this
hypothetical.
1396
01:11:01,759 --> 01:11:03,456
Maybe I did.
1397
01:11:03,543 --> 01:11:05,719
Maybe I didn'’t.
1398
01:11:05,806 --> 01:11:07,460
But if I did,
1399
01:11:07,547 --> 01:11:08,983
what would you tell me?
1400
01:11:10,942 --> 01:11:13,205
I would urge you to call--
I'’m asking you.
1401
01:11:13,292 --> 01:11:16,121
What reason
would you give me?
1402
01:11:23,041 --> 01:11:25,696
Tick, tock.
1403
01:11:30,527 --> 01:11:32,224
I guess I would just say that...
1404
01:11:34,922 --> 01:11:37,403
Just say that everything
means something.
1405
01:11:37,490 --> 01:11:39,971
[LAUGHS]
1406
01:11:40,058 --> 01:11:43,235
Oh, boy,
everything means something.
1407
01:11:45,629 --> 01:11:47,195
No, that'’s a self-contradicting
statement
1408
01:11:47,283 --> 01:11:49,763
because it doesn'’t actually
mean anything.
1409
01:11:49,850 --> 01:11:53,854
I just mean
whatever you care about,
1410
01:11:53,941 --> 01:11:56,596
a friend, a pet, that they--
1411
01:11:56,683 --> 01:11:58,381
I have neither.
1412
01:11:58,468 --> 01:12:00,774
Well, then...
1413
01:12:00,861 --> 01:12:02,863
politics, art.
1414
01:12:04,038 --> 01:12:05,301
Yoga. Food.
1415
01:12:05,388 --> 01:12:07,303
Whatever it is,
it means something.
1416
01:12:07,390 --> 01:12:09,348
It'’s worth something.
1417
01:12:09,435 --> 01:12:11,394
Whether it'’s inherently worthy
1418
01:12:11,481 --> 01:12:14,222
or made worthy
by your investment.
1419
01:12:14,310 --> 01:12:16,442
Your active caring,
that could be debated.
1420
01:12:16,529 --> 01:12:20,316
The point is, if that thing
has value, life does.
1421
01:12:23,971 --> 01:12:26,626
The earth will burst
into flames.
1422
01:12:26,713 --> 01:12:31,544
Cities will turn to ashes
or be swept away by oceans.
1423
01:12:31,631 --> 01:12:34,417
Civilization will tumble
into darkness.
1424
01:12:36,941 --> 01:12:39,770
It'’s when, not if.
1425
01:12:41,772 --> 01:12:43,774
Well, you obviously
care about that,
1426
01:12:43,861 --> 01:12:46,037
so that'’s one thing.
1427
01:12:46,124 --> 01:12:48,561
Mm, yeah, one thing
I can do nothing about.
1428
01:12:51,434 --> 01:12:55,742
The entire human race
has already committed suicide.
1429
01:12:55,829 --> 01:12:58,876
The poison is working
its way through the system.
1430
01:12:58,963 --> 01:13:01,661
Some people
just don'’t know it yet.
1431
01:13:01,748 --> 01:13:03,184
Maybe.
1432
01:13:03,271 --> 01:13:07,058
Maybe it is when, not if.
1433
01:13:07,145 --> 01:13:10,366
But isn'’t 2000 years
better than 100?
1434
01:13:10,453 --> 01:13:14,065
To be honest, I'’m not sure.
1435
01:13:17,373 --> 01:13:18,983
You want to know a story?
1436
01:13:23,248 --> 01:13:24,380
Yeah.
1437
01:13:26,643 --> 01:13:28,384
There was this man.
1438
01:13:28,471 --> 01:13:29,776
Friend of a friend.
1439
01:13:29,863 --> 01:13:32,605
Um, his name was Tom.
1440
01:13:35,303 --> 01:13:37,480
He lived alone.
1441
01:13:37,567 --> 01:13:40,918
Apparently,
he had developed a ritual.
1442
01:13:42,963 --> 01:13:45,531
When he felt down,
he would fix himself a drink,
1443
01:13:45,618 --> 01:13:48,142
take out his revolver.
1444
01:13:48,229 --> 01:13:49,666
Then he would sip his drink
1445
01:13:49,753 --> 01:13:51,711
and think
of all the reasons he had
1446
01:13:51,798 --> 01:13:54,192
to not kill himself.
1447
01:13:54,279 --> 01:13:56,847
For every reason
he could think of,
1448
01:13:56,934 --> 01:14:00,372
he would take out a bullet
until the drum was empty,
1449
01:14:00,459 --> 01:14:03,462
then go to bed and reload
the gun in the morning.
1450
01:14:05,290 --> 01:14:06,683
And he did that for years...
1451
01:14:08,859 --> 01:14:11,078
until he ran out of reasons.
1452
01:14:15,169 --> 01:14:17,171
There is no free will.
1453
01:14:17,258 --> 01:14:18,564
It'’s just an illusion.
1454
01:14:20,348 --> 01:14:21,959
Every choice
has already been made.
1455
01:14:22,046 --> 01:14:24,135
Everything we think,
everything we feel,
1456
01:14:24,222 --> 01:14:27,181
everything we do is baked in.
1457
01:14:27,268 --> 01:14:29,880
We behave in the exact way
we'’re meant to.
1458
01:14:31,447 --> 01:14:33,971
I know this sounds, um,
dispiriting.
1459
01:14:36,190 --> 01:14:38,976
But the irony is that we are
programmed to hate the idea
1460
01:14:39,063 --> 01:14:40,978
that we'’re programmed,
1461
01:14:41,065 --> 01:14:44,547
to preserve the illusion
that we master our destiny,
1462
01:14:44,634 --> 01:14:47,854
that we earn our fortune,
1463
01:14:47,941 --> 01:14:50,814
that we can deserve happiness.
1464
01:14:53,512 --> 01:14:55,079
We master nothing.
1465
01:14:55,166 --> 01:14:57,211
Fortune is random.
1466
01:14:57,298 --> 01:15:00,258
All souls are happy,
good people are miserable.
1467
01:15:00,345 --> 01:15:02,390
There'’s no rhyme.
There'’s no reason.
1468
01:15:02,478 --> 01:15:03,609
There'’s no God'’s plan.
1469
01:15:03,696 --> 01:15:05,132
And there'’s no fucking escape
1470
01:15:05,219 --> 01:15:07,265
other than... you know.
1471
01:15:09,659 --> 01:15:11,182
Escape.
1472
01:15:17,667 --> 01:15:19,146

1473
01:15:20,844 --> 01:15:22,193
Yeah.
1474
01:15:23,803 --> 01:15:25,239
Well?
1475
01:15:26,893 --> 01:15:28,112
Laura.
1476
01:15:33,944 --> 01:15:35,815
Nice to meet you, Laura.
1477
01:15:37,948 --> 01:15:39,427
[LAURA INHALES DEEPLY
AND SIGHS]
1478
01:15:40,516 --> 01:15:41,865
Yeah, you too.
1479
01:15:44,215 --> 01:15:46,217
You asked what my deal was.
1480
01:15:48,001 --> 01:15:50,047
[DOOR CLOSES]
1481
01:15:50,134 --> 01:15:51,875
I did.
1482
01:15:51,962 --> 01:15:54,530
My answer was evasive.
1483
01:15:56,270 --> 01:15:57,924
How so?
1484
01:15:59,143 --> 01:16:01,145
It'’s weird.
1485
01:16:01,232 --> 01:16:03,321
Keeping a secret is a burden.
1486
01:16:03,408 --> 01:16:05,584
Being forced to talk about it
is just as bad.
1487
01:16:05,671 --> 01:16:08,848
So I find the only freedom
I can enjoy in the matter
1488
01:16:08,935 --> 01:16:12,460
is to sometimes
volunteer the information
1489
01:16:12,548 --> 01:16:15,899
and sometimes withhold it.
1490
01:16:18,162 --> 01:16:20,207
The suspense builds.
1491
01:16:23,689 --> 01:16:28,172
My stepbrother committed suicide
five years ago.
1492
01:16:29,652 --> 01:16:31,175
He was 25.
1493
01:16:33,438 --> 01:16:35,048
I didn'’t call him back
that night.
1494
01:16:35,135 --> 01:16:39,749
He tried me a few times,
but I just turned the phone off.
1495
01:16:43,709 --> 01:16:45,755
Did he used to call a lot?
1496
01:16:45,842 --> 01:16:48,758
There were periods
when he would call every day.
1497
01:16:50,542 --> 01:16:51,804
It was pretty hard.
1498
01:16:52,979 --> 01:16:55,373
We had a difficult relationship.
1499
01:16:58,637 --> 01:17:01,118
And he was chronically
depressed.
1500
01:17:03,294 --> 01:17:08,255
We grew up
in a bad family environment.
1501
01:17:11,084 --> 01:17:13,521
The thing is,
1502
01:17:13,609 --> 01:17:16,829
my stepfather...
1503
01:17:21,442 --> 01:17:22,922
He, uh...
1504
01:17:24,097 --> 01:17:25,446
I understand.
1505
01:17:25,533 --> 01:17:27,797
Oh, it'’s more complicated
than that.
1506
01:17:27,884 --> 01:17:31,191
You see, my stepbrother
looked just like him.
1507
01:17:31,278 --> 01:17:33,585
He even sounded like him.
1508
01:17:34,978 --> 01:17:36,283
So when he grew up,
1509
01:17:36,370 --> 01:17:39,112
dealing with him
brought everything back,
1510
01:17:39,199 --> 01:17:42,899
and not dealing with him
was a relief.
1511
01:17:44,378 --> 01:17:45,771
So now you talk
to other people
1512
01:17:45,858 --> 01:17:47,643
because you didn'’t take
that call.
1513
01:17:50,254 --> 01:17:51,603
That'’s part of it.
1514
01:17:53,213 --> 01:17:54,388
Go on.
1515
01:17:55,825 --> 01:17:57,957
Well...
1516
01:17:58,044 --> 01:18:00,133
I struggled
with depression myself.
1517
01:18:03,310 --> 01:18:05,356
If your own...

1519
01:18:10,187 --> 01:18:13,190
Uh, anyways,
I fell into drugs
1520
01:18:13,277 --> 01:18:17,673
and fucked-up
relationships and...
1521
01:18:20,980 --> 01:18:22,765
Then the guilt.
1522
01:18:22,852 --> 01:18:26,203
What I'’m trying to say
is that I was there.
1523
01:18:26,290 --> 01:18:28,466
I had run out of reasons.
1524
01:18:29,597 --> 01:18:30,903
I didn'’t have a plan.
1525
01:18:30,990 --> 01:18:33,819
I was just gonna let it happen.
1526
01:18:33,906 --> 01:18:37,693
I don'’t know, I guess I thought
I was bound to overdose,
1527
01:18:37,780 --> 01:18:40,739
or to drown,
or to get run over by a truck.
1528
01:18:40,826 --> 01:18:42,393
I just didn'’t care.
1529
01:18:43,481 --> 01:18:44,743
And then one day,
1530
01:18:44,830 --> 01:18:47,398
I ran into this old man.
1531
01:18:48,747 --> 01:18:50,531
He was walking a dog.
1532
01:18:50,618 --> 01:18:53,317
He passed me by
and I heard the dog barking,
1533
01:18:53,404 --> 01:18:57,060
and I realized
the man had fallen.
1534
01:18:57,147 --> 01:18:59,497
So I helped him up
and I walked him home.
1535
01:18:59,584 --> 01:19:03,675
He invited me inside and offered
to make me a cup of tea,
1536
01:19:03,762 --> 01:19:06,722
and I said, "No, thanks,"
but he insisted.
1537
01:19:09,768 --> 01:19:11,814
His name was Jacob.
1538
01:19:11,901 --> 01:19:13,119
He'’s dead now.
1539
01:19:15,034 --> 01:19:19,865
He lived in this small house,
and the house was stuffy.
1540
01:19:19,952 --> 01:19:24,565
I mean, typical old-man house,
but it was extraordinary.
1541
01:19:27,220 --> 01:19:31,050
Books and paintings and strange
objects from all over the world.
1542
01:19:31,137 --> 01:19:37,013
He had this framed
emperor scorpion from Africa,
1543
01:19:37,100 --> 01:19:40,059
hand-blown glass from Venice,
1544
01:19:40,146 --> 01:19:42,758
an ancient chess set
from Russia.
1545
01:19:44,194 --> 01:19:45,891
The man had been everywhere,
1546
01:19:45,978 --> 01:19:47,414
first with the Navy,
1547
01:19:47,501 --> 01:19:49,373
then with the Merchant Marine.
1548
01:19:49,460 --> 01:19:53,594
Anyways, he started telling
me all of these amazing stories,
1549
01:19:53,681 --> 01:19:57,642
and the next day I came back
to hear more stories.
1550
01:19:59,165 --> 01:20:00,340
And after a while,
1551
01:20:00,427 --> 01:20:04,301
I realized I had a reason.
1552
01:20:05,781 --> 01:20:07,043
And then...
1553
01:20:09,001 --> 01:20:10,786
I just kept finding more.
1554
01:20:12,962 --> 01:20:14,528
"Beth," you said.
1555
01:20:16,574 --> 01:20:17,749
Yes?
1556
01:20:19,055 --> 01:20:20,404
Yes.
1557
01:20:20,491 --> 01:20:23,886
Short for Elizabeth, I suppose.
1558
01:20:23,973 --> 01:20:26,366
Sure.
1559
01:20:26,453 --> 01:20:27,715
You don'’t sound sure.
1560
01:20:29,326 --> 01:20:31,154
It'’s actually not my real name.
1561
01:20:31,241 --> 01:20:32,720
Ah.
1562
01:20:32,808 --> 01:20:34,679
Why do you use a fake name?
1563
01:20:34,766 --> 01:20:37,421
It'’s mainly a privacy thing,
1564
01:20:37,508 --> 01:20:41,381
but also we'’re supposed
to keep the job separate.
1565
01:20:41,468 --> 01:20:43,688
If I do this under
a different name,
1566
01:20:43,775 --> 01:20:45,559
it'’s supposed to help.
1567
01:20:45,646 --> 01:20:46,822
Does it?
1568
01:20:48,736 --> 01:20:49,868
Not really.
1569
01:20:51,739 --> 01:20:53,611
So, what keeps you coming back?
1570
01:20:56,092 --> 01:20:57,397
I suppose...
1571
01:20:59,095 --> 01:21:01,749
when I'’m on a shift,
I'’m focused.
1572
01:21:04,274 --> 01:21:05,666
I'’m not multitasking.

I'’m not going through
my to-do list.

on the person
that I'’m speaking to.

01:21:21,247 --> 01:21:22,509
I care.

I can see that.

Well, I don'’t call it that,
but yeah.
