:04:03
Right? Let's go to the next one, all right?
:04:06
Hold on a second.
Do you want some water or something?

:04:09
- No, I got lots of orange.
- Do you like orange soda?

:04:12
Yeah, orange is all right.
:04:14
All right, let's go to the next sequence.
:04:16
Did you actually read the script?
:04:19
No. A little bit.
:04:22
Just to check the construction.
:04:26
You know, how the piece was constructed.
:04:28
I didn't read it word for word.
:04:30
Do you feel weird saying this stuff?
:04:32
No, I don't feel weird saying it.
:04:35
I don't know how long
my voice is going to hold out.

:04:38
Doc, you gotta help me, man.
:04:41
My old lady's dumping me
'cause I can't talk.

:04:45
She says I'm a social embarrassment.
:04:48
Now that she's got a PhD,
she's some hot-shit academic star...

:04:53
and I'm nothing but a file clerk.
:04:56
Me being a file clerk was fine when I was
signing the damn checks for tuition.

:04:59
Harvey, stop talking, please, and open wide.
:05:02
I started worrying
my voice would never come back.

:05:05
Say "Aah," Mr. Pekar.
:05:07
It's torture, I'm telling you.
:05:18
What? Is it bad, Doc?
:05:21
It's not good.
:05:24
It's cancer.
:05:25
First I got marital problems, and now
you're telling me I got throat cancer.

:05:29
- For Christ's sake, man.
- Harvey, calm down, it's not cancer.

:05:34
You have a nodule on your vocal cords,
probably from screaming and yelling.

:05:38
If you don't give it a rest,
you're gonna lose your voice completely.

:05:42
Okay. But for how long?
:05:46
- A few months.
- Months?
