You mean those kind of normal, |
| 01:06:30 |
You got an envelope at home today, |
| 01:06:34 |
Some messenger guy delivered it. |
| 01:06:37 |
Oh, yeah, right. |
| 01:06:40 |
He -- |
| 01:06:44 |
He helped me |
| 01:06:47 |
and so I let him |
| 01:06:49 |
You what? |
| 01:06:50 |
I let him come in, |
| 01:06:56 |
You let a messenger |
| 01:06:58 |
and decorate |
| 01:07:02 |
His name was Mikesh, |
| 01:07:09 |
He looked at me |
| 01:07:12 |
who might still have something |
| 01:07:17 |
I always tell you that you have |
| 01:07:20 |
You -- |
| 01:07:21 |
You need a stranger |
| 01:07:24 |
Was he good-looking or....? |
| 01:07:31 |
He looked at me like I might still |
| 01:07:38 |
How could you not know |
| 01:07:50 |
Were you attracted to him? |
| 01:07:54 |
Were you? |
| 01:07:58 |
It's just that you never look |
| 01:08:07 |
Do you look at me that way? |
| 01:08:10 |
No, not really. Not enough. |
| 01:08:19 |
But I still love you, Avery. |
| 01:08:24 |
But what? |
| 01:08:28 |
It's just that |
| 01:08:32 |
every day from the second I wake up |
| 01:08:38 |
my day, like the day of almost |
| 01:08:41 |
is made up of a series of concrete, |
| 01:08:48 |
And they're actions that kind of |
| 01:08:51 |
wear away at passion, |
| 01:08:56 |
The actions |
| 01:08:58 |
Like refilling coffee cups |
| 01:09:04 |
But they accumulate |
| 01:09:09 |
that diminishes my ability to focus |
| 01:09:15 |
Bigger things like, you know, |
| 01:09:19 |
...politics or dreams |
| 01:09:26 |
Well, what would be a better life? |
| 01:09:34 |
It wasn't always my ambition |
| 01:09:35 |
to supervise a team |
| 01:09:41 |
and edit their copy about traveling |
| 01:09:44 |
to places that we can't afford |
| 01:09:49 |
When we had Clara, |
| 01:09:50 |
I got a job with healthcare |
| 01:09:57 |
It was a decision that we made. |
| 01:10:02 |
So I got a job that I can tolerate. |
| 01:10:05 |
No more, no less. |
| 01:10:12 |
You're not the only one |
| 01:10:16 |
Well, that still doesn't explain |
| 01:10:20 |
What do my socks |
| 01:10:22 |
Your socks have everything |
| 01:10:24 |
[ Eliza cries ] |
| 01:10:28 |
Eliza, all I wanted you |
| 01:10:35 |
was to stop hiding behind irony |
| 01:10:45 |
I want to know |
| 01:10:50 |
I want to know |
| 01:10:54 |
What makes you want to live |

I can't tell you. |

Everyone would drink gin |
| 01:15:34 |
and dance and talk until dawn. |
| 01:15:39 |
We used to argue a lot, too. |
| 01:15:41 |
This was a very political crowd, |

| 01:19:22 |
And this first edition also happened |
| 01:19:27 |
which significantly upped the value, |

But you love Emerson. |
