:05:01
- Where?
- In some fancy restaurant
that I'd never been to before.
:05:05
I didn't have the proper attire.
So they let me borrow a suitjacket.
:05:10
I reached into my pocket,
and there was your card.
:05:13
The weird thing is
I always have a jacket.
:05:16
- [ Woman ] But not that day?
- No.
:05:20
- Brad Stand.
- Hey.
:05:22
- Kind of a coincidence.
- Yes, exactly. My case is a coincidence.
:05:25
- About the restaurant and thejacket?
- No, no. That-That's--
:05:28
I'm talking about a big coincidence.
It involves one man.
:05:32
It's a three-parter.
Okay. Ready?
:05:34
[ Inhales, Exhales ]
First part.
:05:36
I went to a place
called Schottinger's photo archives.
:05:39
I was there getting stills
of early Bob Dylan.
:05:41
In comes this tall African guy.
He's like 1 8 years old or something.
:05:44
You know, he's in there getting photos
of Morris Chestnut...
:05:47
Shaquille O'Neal,
Jim Carrey.
:05:49
He's an autograph hound.
Kind of guy likes to get...
:05:52
glossies of famous people
and get them signed.
:05:54
Two weeks later, I see
the same African guy.
:05:56
He's working as a doorman
at my friend's building.
:05:58
Oh, my God!
:06:00
- Who's your friend?
-Jay Wendorff. But it's not his apartment.
:06:03
- It's his girlfriend's.
- What's her name?
:06:05
Uh, Kelly. Kelly Coulter.
So, okay, that's two.
:06:09
One time at Schottinger's
photo archive...
:06:11
second time
as the doorman.
:06:13
Third, I see this man,
he's in a van at the mall.
:06:17
- What are you doing at the mall?
- I'm working.
:06:20
- I'm making a statement for the open spaces.
- [ Horn Honking ]
:06:23
Yeah, he's back.
You crazy bastard.
:06:26
You don't plant no tree
in this parking lot!
:06:28
I gotta come take that tree,
remove it and let traffic through.
:06:32
You'rejust creatin'
more work for me.
:06:37
- They're not always meaningful.
- Yeah, it's meaningful.
:06:40
- Meaningful how?
- That's what I want you to find out.
:06:44
- About your life.
- Yeah, about my life.
:06:47
And about the whole thing.
About the universe, you know? The big one.
:06:50
I mean, should I keep doing
what I'm doing? Is it hopeless?
:06:54
Mr. Markovski, we see
a lot of people in here...
:06:56
who claim they want to know
the ultimate truth about reality.
