But-But--
:26:04
- What?.
- Have you discussed this
with your therapist?.

:26:07
Oh, no.
:26:09
-There's too much on the agenda already.
-Like what?.

:26:12
- Um,just the usual.
- ## [Tambourines ]

:26:14
Older, nothing to show for it, no kids
or anything, why am I on the planet?.

:26:18
Like that.
God, they're so crazy.

:26:20
- Um, no more so than anyone else.
- What?

:26:24
A little more so,
I'd say.

:26:27
- I don't think so.
- But theyare, objectively.

:26:30
I think they're, you know,
just doing their thing.

:26:32
They don't do anything.
They play the tambourine all day
and ask people for money.

:26:36
- They have no goals.
- I think theyhave a prettyloftygoal.

:26:38
Oh, really?. What?.
New robes?.

:26:41
- Spiritual enlightenment, happiness.
- Come on.

:26:43
- They're weird. Look at them.
- They're happy.

:26:46
- They're happy.
- What?.

:26:48
Some people smoke pot. Some people
bungee jump. Some people chant.

:26:51
- What doyou do to be happy?
- Nothing. I'm not. Wait, wait, wait.

:26:56
I have a job. I mean, I'm accomplishing
something in the world.

:27:00
Oh, really?.
What areyou accomplishing?.

:27:02
I'm-I'm bringing
the news to people.

:27:04
You know, information?.
I'm being a grown-up.

:27:06
I'm notjust out frorme andmy
enlightenment. What they do is selfish.

:27:09
Selfish?. They are dealing
with their stuff and the energy
they put out to the universe.

:27:12
That's a lot more valuable
than being miserable all the time.

:27:15
Wait a second.
I'm sorry.

:27:17
Areyou saying that
my life has no value?.

:27:20
No! I am saying that maybe
underneath all the neurosis,

:27:24
you have a profound capacity
for happiness thatyou're
not allowing to exist.

:27:27
- How doyou know?. You just met me.
- You can't possibly know...

:27:30
whoyou are or howyou'll respond
to something until you try it.

:27:33
I happen to disagree. I happen
to think ifyou knowyourselfwell,

:27:35
you can gauge how
you're gonna react to something.

:27:37
And I can pretty much assureyou
that I will never be made happy...

:27:40
by chanting for
spiritual enlightenment.

:27:42
- Or maybeyou would. You can't know.
- Trust me. I know.

:27:45
- You know?.
- Yeah, I know.

:27:47
- You know how
you'll react to everything?.
- Pretty much, yes.
