:55:00
This isn't nervous, this is petrified.
:55:04
You'll do fine.
:55:07
Remember, the callers need
to feel that what they're saying...
:55:10
...is not falling on deaf ears. Okay?
- Okay.
:55:14
We're not here to give advice
or to judge.
:55:16
No judging.
:55:18
Then what's the point?
:55:23
So do you do this often?
:55:26
Every Saturday afternoon
like clockwork.
:55:29
You enjoy listening
to people's problems?
:55:31
Well, it gets me out of my head
and it's a great way to relax.
:55:35
Actually, I started doing it because,
like you, I don't like bars...
:55:39
...and I wanted to meet
interesting people.
:55:43
- Have you met any?
- Not until today.
:55:49
- You ready?
- No.
:55:51
Yes, you are. Go.
:55:53
Hello. Gay Helpline,
how may I help you?
:55:55
My parents will kill me if I say
I'm a fag. I can't go on this way!
:55:59
- Don't tell them.
- But it's killing me.
:56:01
- Then tell them.
- They'll kill me.
:56:03
Then you've got nothing to lose,
because either way you're dead, right?
:56:07
Hello?
:56:09
Hello?
:56:14
I guess humor is out of the question.
:56:17
- Just listen and try and feel their pain.
- Feel their pain.
:56:21
Yes. If someone calls and says,
"Things are really bad right now"...
:56:25
...you answer, full of compassion,
"Things are really bad right now, huh?"
:56:30
- Okay?
- Got it.
:56:32
Gay Helpline, how may I help you?
:56:34
I never should've taken
those illegal hormones.
:56:37
You never should have taken
those illegal hormones, huh?
:56:40
- I'm really depressed.
- You're really depressed, huh?
:56:43
I don't want the sex change. I'm stuck
with small breasts, a low voice...
:56:46
...and I can't get an erection.
:56:50
You're stuck with small breasts
and a low voice...
:56:53
...and you can't get an erection, huh?
:56:57
- I ruined my life.
- No kidding!
