:58:00
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
:58:02
- You've got a calming kind of voice.
- I don't have a calming anything.
:58:07
So I suggest you hang up
and call back later, okay?
:58:10
No, I'm gonna stay on for
a lot longer.
:58:13
- No! I want you to hang up.
- I'm not gonna.
:58:15
- Hang up.
- No!
:58:16
- Hang up!
- You first!
:58:18
Fine.
:58:20
Hello?
:58:21
Hello?
:58:23
Gay Helpline?
:58:25
- I guess I'm not helpline material.
- Active listening is not for everyone.
:58:29
Well, I've got years
of non-experience.
:58:31
Talking and not listening
is an Italian tradition.
:58:35
Let me ask you something.
:58:37
Do you think you're helping those
callers by going so easy on them?
:58:42
- What do you mean?
- Well, take me, for example.
:58:45
Now, I came out of the closet knowing
that my boyfriend didn't want to.
:58:49
Do I need to hear,
"Oh, your boyfriend left you?"
:58:53
No. I need someone to tell me, "Next
time, think twice before you fuck up."
:59:00
Angelo, if you can't have compassion
for yourself...
:59:03
...how you gonna have it for others?
:59:07
Right.
:59:09
- I gotta go.
- Hey, listen. Do you wanna...
:59:12
...go for a beer or something?
- What for?
:59:14
To lecture you more about the benefits
of compassion.
:59:17
- You wanna convert me?
- Maybe.
:59:19
- I'm a hopeless case.
- I know you are.
:59:21
But I love a good challenge.
:59:24
You do?
:59:28
That's the best offer
I've had in a long time...
:59:31
...but after all that active non-listening,
I'm really drained...
:59:35
...so I'm gonna have to pass.
- Okay.
:59:37
But if you change your mind...
:59:40
...you know where to find me.
:59:42
- Yes, I do.
- Okay.
:59:59
Gino.
