:24:01
Because I'd like
to drink it, please.

:24:04
Five-- We're gonna do
like a five, six, eight split.

:24:10
You guys got to look menacing.
Can you be more menacing?

:24:15
Oh, man, all right. We gotta do
what we can do then, I guess.

:24:19
All right.
:24:20
I think it went good, but I don't wanna
say that until I see the footage...

:24:24
because you never know
what's gonna happen.

:24:26
I've been out here five fucking times,
doing the same shit.

:24:30
But I'll fucking get this down...
:24:32
and I think with these last four shots,
we might have this fucker in the can.

:24:36
- Cut. How's that, man? Talk to me.
- Good.

:24:39
Well, we can't see your beard.
How's that?

:24:42
- What do you see?
- You can see part of the beard.

:24:44
- This is the edge of the close-up.
- Fuck it. You're right.

:24:55
Man, I go out here.
Just go out there...

:24:58
hour, two hours,
drive around these houses...

:25:01
and it's like, okay, now I know
what I'm here for again.

:25:05
You got that squared away.
But to be serious...

:25:07
the American dream stays with me
each and every day.

:25:10
I'm glad we're doing this today because
I was really getting down and out...

:25:13
and thank God they extended my phone
bill till Friday and lowered it too.

:25:17
But anyway, so today I'm gonna go
right back to work so we can get--

:25:22
Actually, my house ain't gonna look
like this. It'll look flatter...

:25:25
and less obnoxious that this.
:25:27
He wants to have
the good life eventually.

:25:30
He wants the big house
and the nice car and all that...

:25:32
but, you know, for the last,
I don't know, ten, fifteen years...

:25:38
he's been delivering newspapers.
:25:40
I realized one thing, in a kind of
Christian-coded ethical arena:

:25:45
Why should you be successful
while others are not?

:25:50
Well, you know what?
I got over that guilt.

:25:52
'Cause you know what? I don't know
that answer. I don't know why.

:25:57
It feels like-- in a Christian--
what Jesus would be saying.
