[Man Narrating]
My name is Lester Burnham.
:01:17
This is my neighborhood.
:01:20
This is my street.
:01:23
This is my life.
:01:26
I'm 42 years old.
In less than a year, I'll be dead.
:01:30
[ Alarm Ringing ]
:01:37
Of course,
I don't know that yet.
:01:43
And in a way.
I'm dead already.
:01:57
Look at me:
jerking off in the shower.
:02:02
This will be the high point of my day.
It's all downhill from here.
:02:11
That's my wife, Carolyn.
:02:14
See the way the handle on those pruning
shears matches her gardening clogs?
:02:19
- That's not an accident.
- [Dog Barking]
:02:22
[Man]
Hush. Bitsy!
:02:25
- Hush. What is wrong with you?
- That's our next-door neighbor, Jim.
:02:28
-And that's his lover, Jim.
- [Both Arguing]
:02:32
- You spoil her.
Bitsy, no bark. Come inside now.
- Me?
:02:36
- Come on. Yes. Inside.
- [Carolyn] Good morning, Jim!
:02:39
Good morning, Carolyn.
:02:41
I love your tie!
That colour!
:02:45
I just love your roses. How do you
get them to flourish like this?
:02:49
Well, I'll tell you:
eggshells and Miracle-Gro.
:02:53
-I've never heard that.
-Man. I get exhausted just watching her.
:02:57
She wasn't always like this.
She used to be happy.
