Okay, this guy here, he's our man.
:03:30
Okay, this guy here, he's our man.
:03:33
All grown up and going nowhere.
:03:37
Always a pretty scholarly cat.
He never got much of a formal education.

:03:41
For the most part, he's lived
in shit neighborhoods, held shit jobs...

:03:45
and is now knee-deep
into a disastrous second marriage.

:03:49
So if you're the kind of person
looking for romance or escapism...

:03:52
or some fantasy figure to save the day,
guess what?

:03:56
- You got the wrong movie.
- That's great.

:03:59
So now you got four takes. You ought
to be able to patch one together from there.

: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.
