:42:00
Nothing ever works, ever!
:42:02
Look, maybe you're right.
Don't get so upset.

:42:04
You know, after all, my mother
is floating around up there.

:42:08
But have you ever done anything
extrasensory in your life?

:42:10
No, you were right
from the beginning.

:42:12
I'm nothing.
It just beats being a waitress.

:42:16
Is that what you were, a waitress?
:42:18
Well, I wanted to be
an actress, but...

:42:20
I could never find any work.
:42:22
So I had to wait on tables.
It's drudgery.

:42:26
Then I met some astrologer...
:42:28
and, uh, he told me that
there's a lot of money to be made
in psychic phenomena--

:42:33
that people flock to it
because their lives are so empty.

:42:37
So I tried to learn it,
I read up, I--

:42:41
I guess it's like acting.
You have to be born with it.

:42:43
Will you stop crying?
Relax.

:42:46
I'll bet you're a wonderful actress.
You know, you have a very--
a particularly sweet personality.

:42:50
- Oh, thank you.
- You know?

:42:52
You-- I-- You're probably fine.
You know, 'cause, 'cause--

:42:54
Because a thing
doesn't succeed immediately...

:42:56
- doesn't mean that you
have to give it up right away.
- My life is a bust!

:42:59
- Nothing I do comes out right.
- Okay, relax, relax, relax.

:43:02
Take it easy. Let me-- Let me
buy you dinner. You'll feel better.

:43:04
Let me-- You know,
Lisa's coming back late tonight.

:43:06
She's had-- She had to work.
I'll take you to dinner.

:43:08
- You'll feel-- You've been a--
You've been terrible all week.
- No, I-I can't. Thank you very much.

:43:10
- Thank you anyway.
- Come on. I'll take you to--

:43:14
Actually, I-I probably shouldn't go out,
because my mother will see me.

:43:18
Look, you-- You want me
to make you dinner? Huh?

:43:21
- No, forget it, I--
- Oh, come on, please.

:43:23
Look, it's the least I can do.
Come on. Huh?

:43:27
Can you cook, or, or you just stand
over the stove and chant or something?

:43:32
- I'll boil you some chicken.
- Great. My favourite.

:43:35
Boiled chicken.
It's my mother's specialty.

:43:37
Of course, she manages to render the
bird completely devoid of any flavour.

:43:41
It's a culinary miracle.
:43:44
Have some more.
You only had a drumstick. Huh?

:43:47
- No, I'm full. I've eaten--
- You didn't have
any potato pancakes at all.

:43:50
I had two of those and I had
two, three pieces of chicken.

:43:53
- You still look thin to me.
- No, I'm fine.

:43:55
You know what? Take some of this
home with you. I'll wrap it up.

:43:58
That way you won't have to leave
your apartment. I know how that
embarrasses you.
