Remember what I said about someday
somebody havin' to wipe my ass?

1:07:04
- I'm there.
- You're not gonna expect
me to do that, are you?

1:07:08
Why not?
You might be good at it.

1:07:10
You know, the culture teaches us
to be ashamed of that. See, I don't...

1:07:15
- W-W-W-W-Wait. You always...
- [Indistinct]

1:07:17
- Wait. You always
start before I'm ready.
- Huh?

1:07:19
- You always start before
I'm ready. Wait. Okay.
- Oh.

1:07:23
- Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You okay?
- [Groans]

1:07:28
Coach, maybe we shouldn't
work today, huh?

1:07:30
You look like you
should be in bed to me.

1:07:32
If you're in bed, you're dead.
That's my latest aphorism.

1:07:37
We're gonna work, and
the subject is dependency.

1:07:40
- Go.
- I'm dependent on others...

1:07:44
for just about
everything, you know...

1:07:47
eating, urinating,
blowing my nose.

1:07:51
The culture says
I should be ashamed of that.

1:07:53
- Since when have you ever
done what the culture says?
- Oh, since never.

1:07:57
There is nothing innately
shameful about being dependent.

1:08:01
- [Groans]
- What's the matter?

1:08:04
My feet. There's some
salve over there.

1:08:09
They're... They're useless,
you know, but they hurt. I-I...

1:08:17
When we're infants,
we need others to survive.

1:08:23
When we're dying,
we need others to survive.

1:08:27
But here's the secret. In between,
we need others even more.

1:08:34
We must love
one another or die.

1:08:36
- Oh, quoting Auden, huh?
- No. I'm quoting you.

1:08:39
- Oh.
- I do that a lot these days.

1:08:42
Once you learn how to die,
you learn how to live.

1:08:45
Yeah, but do you believe that?
Does it apply to you?

1:08:51
I don't know.
1:08:58
If you listen to that little bird
on your shoulder, you'll believe.
