:07:02
- You did!
- Difficult. She can be difficult.
:07:05
Now she's difficult.
Soon, she'll be impossible.
:07:08
She's very supportive of my goals.
What are these goals?
:07:13
l want to write a novel.
:07:15
A novel about man's fate
in the empty universe.
:07:18
No god, no hope, just human suffering
and loneliness.
:07:22
Stick to jokes, that's where the money is.
Want a lift?
:07:26
No, l'm okay.
l'm meeting my girlfriend.
:07:29
Today is our anniversary.
:07:31
You know, maybe next week,
if you'd like,
:07:35
we could drive out to watch
that intellectual comedian
:07:38
parade his amphigories for us.
:07:43
Sure. That'd be great.
:07:45
lt's funny. l was once in a cab...
this was years ago.
:07:50
And l was pouring my heart out
to the driver
:07:53
about all the stuff
you were prattling on about...
:07:56
life, death, the empty universe,
:08:00
the meaning of existence,
human suffering.
:08:03
And the cab driver said to me:
:08:06
''You know, it's like anything else.''
:08:09
Think about that.
:08:12
He was a teacher who lived on
Roosevelt lsland. Public school.
:08:16
Too frightened to quit
and write comedy full-time because,
:08:20
as he said,
he knew what it was to starve.
:08:24
''Amphigories''?
''Hebetudinous''?
:08:27
Meanwhile, l'm on my way
to meet Amanda.
:08:30
l'll be on time, she'll be late.
:08:32
She's late, she's disorganized.
:08:35
lncidentally, that's not our big problem.
:08:38
She drives me crazy,
but wait till you meet her.
:08:41
She is adorable!
