00:01:07 You might be Einstein...
00:01:09 you might be DiMaggio.
00:01:13 Then you get to an age
00:01:16 gives way
00:01:19 You weren't Einstein.

00:01:53 You wrote me your last letter
00:01:56 CHUCK: Oh. It's great
00:02:01 You look... you look beautiful.
00:02:03 PENNY: This place is scary.
00:02:05 CHUCK: Yeah. The human psyche.
00:02:10 PENNY: I came to take you back
00:02:13 CHUCK: Uh, no...
00:02:15 PENNY: It's a lonely state
00:02:18 CHUCK: I'm home, Red.
00:02:27 I can't wait forever
00:02:32 Well, apparently, I can,
00:02:40 CHUCK: Uh...
00:02:45 PENNY, CRYING:
00:02:52 PENNY: You don't understand.
00:02:56 I don't even know why.

00:03:14 [Chuck closes peephole]
00:03:22 CHUCK: Listen. I gotta go. OK?
00:03:27 BARRIS: It was 1981...
00:03:30 and I had loved myself up
00:03:34 the Phoenix Hotel...
00:03:36 terrified of everything,
00:03:43 Until. Finally,
00:03:47 might be in recording
00:03:50 [Typing]
00:03:51 Maybe it would serve
00:03:55 and maybe it would help me
00:03:59 When I was 11,
00:04:02 with my sister's friend
00:04:05 that left
00:04:07 - Hey.
00:04:08 - Tuvia.
00:04:10 You want to lick it?
00:04:12 [Scoffs]
00:04:15 Well, for one thing,
00:04:18 My sister tells me
00:04:20 Yeah, well,
00:04:23 CHUCK: No, I'm serious.
00:04:24 It tastes exactly like
00:04:26 TUVIA: Look,
00:04:27 - Well, I bet you it does.
00:04:31 CHUCK: I'll bet you a dollar.
00:04:35 BARRIS: Tuvia... my first love.
00:04:38 [Typing]
00:04:40 Perhaps my whole life
00:04:43 The repulsiveness
00:04:45 by the taste buds
00:04:49 What are you doing?
00:04:51 Get off me!
00:04:52 And so I found myself...
00:04:54 in a downward spiral
00:04:57 endlessly chasing pussy.
00:04:59 [Doo wop music playing]
00:05:00 [Loud kissing]
00:05:03 My only focus in life
00:05:06 tying to fool myself
00:05:08 that given
00:05:09 of circumstances
00:05:11 maybe the Tuvias
00:05:13 could desire me
00:05:15 [Thwack]
00:05:17 I only wanted to be loved.
00:05:21 [Moans softly]
00:05:26 CHUCK: No...

01:12:07 Well, it's hit and miss.
01:12:09 I got a new show called

01:22:38 waiting for the fucking plumber
01:22:47 CHUCK: I'm sorry.
01:22:51 You're such an asshole.
01:23:10 [Starts engine]
01:23:38 No, I'm not saying that.
01:23:41 PENNY: Then what
01:23:43 [Sniffles]
01:23:46 [Crying] Do you want me
01:23:49 Do you even like me?
01:23:51 Of course I like you.
01:23:53 Penny...
01:23:55 - How much?
01:23:57 I need to know
01:24:01 I don't know what that means.
01:24:03 How much? How can I rate
01:24:08 You could if you felt it.
01:24:10 If you felt it,
01:24:12 You would just...
01:24:14 [Exhales]
01:24:16 spread your arms
01:24:19 and say, "This much, Penny."
01:24:31 [Whispering] Everything...
01:24:33 Everything's complicated, Pen.
01:24:36 You know, nothing's
01:24:45 Do you want me around or not?
01:24:47 Because if you don't, it's OK.
01:24:51 Hey, hey...
01:24:55 I love you, Penny, in my way.
01:25:05 Maybe not in that crazy
01:25:09 but what is that anyway?
01:25:12 Romantic love...
01:25:15 isn't that just an illusion?
01:25:21 You just said
01:25:27 [Sniffles]
01:25:39 [Music fades in]
01:25:42 # Just like yesterday #
01:25:45 # And I'll get on my knees
01:25:53 # We don't... #
01:25:54 [Turns off music]
01:26:08 JIM: Hi, Chuck.
01:26:09 Hey, Jim, what do you want?
01:26:11 - How's work?
01:26:14 Any new game show ideas?
01:26:15 Dozens. Why are you here, Jim?
01:26:18 We need you to find the mole
01:26:26 Yeah.
01:26:27 [Laughs]
01:26:30 Yeah...
01:26:33 I just want
01:26:36 I'm out.
01:26:39 No, you're not.
01:26:45 Hey, I got an idea.
01:26:47 If you want him so bad...
01:26:50 why don't you do it?
01:26:52 Why don't you kill the mole?
01:26:54 Any problem with killing, Jim?
01:26:57 I just don't fit the profile.
01:27:00 What fucking profile?
01:27:03 OK. There's no profile.
01:27:04 - There's no profile.
01:27:10 You had a twin sister,
01:27:12 strangled
01:27:15 Your first hit.
01:27:17 Your mother always
01:27:19 She blamed you
01:27:21 so until your sister
01:27:23 she raised you as a girl.
01:27:25 What else?
01:27:27 Your father, the dentist.
01:27:29 Not really your father.
01:27:33 Your real father was a man
01:27:37 Among other things,
01:27:39 a fact
01:27:41 when she had an affair
01:27:44 - That's ridiculous.
01:27:46 That's insane.
01:27:48 Windsor died in
01:27:53 I'm trying to think of
01:27:55 but you have me at a bit
01:27:57 I don't have your files
01:28:08 Come on, Jim.
01:28:16 I'm out.
01:28:25 As long as the mole's alive,
01:28:28 How do I know it's not you?
01:28:31 You're a fairly bright guy.
01:28:35 You'll figure it out.

01:34:54 this is just a note to say
01:34:58 for all of it.
01:35:01 You were the best pant
01:35:04 and I couldn't see it.
01:35:07 I'm not asking
01:35:10 just for your forgiveness.
01:35:14 Love. Chuck.
01:35:26 [Knock on door]
01:35:36 Well...
01:35:38 Look who comes out of hiding.
01:35:41 CHUCK: I started thinking,
01:35:43 in the world
01:35:46 I know I screwed you over
01:35:50 and I'm sorry. I...
01:35:52 [Piano concerto plays]
01:35:56 I just want you
01:36:02 I hate myself for how...
01:36:04 Goddamn, I hate myself
01:36:10 PATRICIA: Nietzsche says
01:36:13 still respects oneself
01:36:18 CHUCK: Shit,
01:36:20 I can't even despise myself
01:36:23 The insane asylums
01:36:25 who think
01:36:28 Very few have delusions
01:36:31 a guy down the block who works
01:36:37 All right.
01:36:41 What is this stuff?
01:36:43 I wanted to be a writer once.
01:36:45 I wanted to write something...
01:36:47 that someday some lesser person
01:36:50 but I never did.
01:36:51 I'm the lesser person, Trish.
01:36:54 I never say
01:36:56 that wasn't said
01:36:59 I am disposable.
01:37:02 I disposed of people,
01:37:09 I've been thinking about you
01:37:13 - Oh, yeah?
01:37:16 I've missed you.
01:37:18 You could have fooled me.
01:37:20 Well, I've mellowed.
01:37:22 [Chuckles]
01:37:24 Boston is a beautiful city.
01:37:26 We could start over here,
01:37:31 Sell insurance.
01:37:33 [Laughs]
01:37:34 Yeah. That sounds good.
01:37:41 Look at that.
01:37:43 I could learn to love
01:37:48 Did you see
01:37:50 Oh, yeah? Where?
01:37:52 - Look.
