There's blood in my stool.

Unbelievable.

Did you even hear what I just said?

I'm dying.

(BED CREAKS)

You'll be fine.

(FOOTSTEPS CLANG)

(WATER TRICKLES)

Why do you hate me?

(SOBS)

(OIL SIZZLES)

So, me and you sitting
inside a restaurant.

Huge four men are trimming tree.

Couple people around us.

All of a sudden hundred,

strange cameras,

horses, donkeys, straw,

manure around.

What the heck is going on?

Can I top up your coffee?

MAN IN CHECKERED SHIRT: Yeah, sure.

MAN IN HOTEL: Please.

(COFFEE POURS)

Thank you.

Are you ready to order?

MAN IN HOTEL: Yeah, scrambled eggs.

Toast with that?

MAN IN HOTEL: Yeah, brown toast.

And for yourself?

I'm okay, thank you.

Okay, can I have this.

(FOOTSTEPS CLANG)

Here you go.

(HIPHOP MUSIC)

(MICROPHONE FEEDBACK)

Hi everyone.

It's great to be here.

I'm single right now,

but I've actually been
texting with a guy recently

and he texted me the other day

that he's getting a new library card.

So things are getting
pretty hot and heavy.

Looking forward to that.

I have depression and in
addition to meds and working out

I also like to do self-help things

and I recently started listening
to an audio book version

of Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now".

Are there any Tolle heads out there?

(GLASS CLANGS)

Okay.

And I'm enjoying it,

but I'm having a bit of a hard
time grasping the concepts.

This wasn't helped by the fact that

I was listening to it on shuffle,

for three hours.

I was going through a bit of
a rough patch the other day,

and I was talking to my mom about it

and she thought maybe it was
due to lack of vitamin D.

So she looked at me very
seriously in my eyes and said,

"Honey, every day you've
got to get that D."

She was talking about vitamin D,

but I imagined it as in D as in dick.

So I've been trying.

It's been kind of hard.

MALE CALL INTERCEPTOR: Hello.

No one is available to take your call.

Please leave a message after the tone.

(BEEP)

Hi mom, it's me.

I just got back from LA.

It was so fun.

I had the best time.

I don't know, I just feel
so at home when I'm there.

I don't know what it is.

Something about the air,
the sun and the surf.

I don't know.

I hope you're having a good trip.

I honestly don't even know
what time it is there,

but I just got home.

I had a show it went
really, really awesome.

It was so cool.

There was a lot of people
there, which was so awesome.

I even tried that new bit
that I was telling you about.

(SOBS)

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, mom.

I'm doing okay, I'm just, it's hard.

I hope...

I'm good, I'm doing good.

Everything's okay.

Talk to you soon.

Bye.

(FOOTSTEPS CLANG)

Where do you think this should go?

WOMAN IN STRIPED TOP: No, not there.

No?

WOMAN IN STRIPED TOP: No.

Above the bed?

That's better.

(HAMMER POUNDS)

This place is moldy.

You get a picture of me?

Yeah.

(CAMERA SHUTTERS)

(BED CREAKS)

Did he post it?

Yeah, it's good.

I think this place has bed bugs.

My ex, Eric, do you remember him?

Yeah.

When he was in high school,

his best friend got kicked
out of his parents' place,

and he had these two large suitcases

and they smelled really bad.

And he brought them to Eric's
place when he moved in.

So then Eric and his parents
got bedbugs from this guy

that they were just trying to help.

Good, fuck that Eric guy.

(KISSES SMACK)

Do you love me?

No.

Do you love me?

No.

That's harsh.

Will you come to my funeral when I die?

Yeah.

Would you come if it was far away?

Like how far?

Far, you have to come by plane.

(FOOTSTEPS CLANG)

Hi, everybody.

It's really great to be here.

I'm doing well.

I'm almost 30 and I had to set my alarm

to wake up at 11:45 today.

So I'm doing really good, things are okay.

I work as a server and I
was at work the other day,

and I went up to a table
to take their order

and this man just put his
hand right in my face.

Although I didn't appreciate the gesture,

it did let me know that
he wasn't ready to order.

It also let me know that
I could go fuck myself,

which I did

just right afterwards.

Something else that I
did at work the other day

when I was serving,

I'm always kind of surprised

at the stuff that will
come out of my mouth,

and I just very confidently
went up to a table,

I put my hands on my hips and I said,

"Are you guys ready to rock?"

That was my way of asking
if they were ready to order.

And they were,

and then they ordered.

Yeah, you guys have been a blast.

I've had a blast.

Thanks.

Hi, everyone.

It is so good to be here tonight.

Fuck, it's so great to be
here tonight. (WATER POURS)

I recently read an article,

well I read the title of it,

and it said that your
thirties or your new twenties.

So I've decided that I'm gonna
start taking guitar lessons.

My parents, they couldn't be more proud

that their almost 30 year old daughter

is burning smoke on the water.

So I feel like I'm regressing back

to a boy in grade seven.

Maybe next I'll light a barn on fire.

(FOOTSTEPS CLANG)

How do they fit?

Yeah, they're good.

Yeah, they're not too small?

Where's your toe?

- Right there.
- Is that your toe?

Lift up your big toe.

Wiggle all your toes.

Do you have room?

TYLER: Yeah.

Are your toes cramped?

No.

BLONDE WOMAN: They wide enough?

- Yeah.
- BLONDE WOMAN: They're good.

Yeah.

Do you have anything to say?

My grandfather had
this business associate

back in the day and he came into the shop.

His name was Saul Cohen.

He was from New York and he said,

"Arnold, I brought you a
salami wrapped in tin foil.

"It's from New York.

"I brought this for you, it's a salami."

And my dad's sitting
there and he's thinking,

who is this guy?

You put this in your luggage

and you bring this all
the way from New York?

Salami wrapped in tin foil?

We have salami in Winnipeg.

And anyways, my grandfather

he gets Saul to hook up my dad with a job.

And so they're in the warehouse,

it's this warehouse filled
with a bunch of junk,

absolute garbage,

but he's a businessman.

He could sell a water to a well,

he's that kind of guy.

And so he says, okay Yale,
this is how you do business.

And he picks up the phone,
they're in the factory,

nobody's there, he says
they got a bunch of garbage.

And he's talking on the phone and he says,

"We got a bunch of shit here.

"You better come on down.

"Everything's on sale."

And then he puts down the phone

and nobody's there in the warehouse,

and he says, "No, it's already
sold, it's already sold."

And then he picks up the phone,

you better hurry here 'cause
everything's going quick.

And then he hangs up the
phone and then he says,

"That's how you do business Yale."

And yeah, now he's a millionaire.

(AIRPLANE WHOOSHES)

You think that plane's going to Las Vegas?

I like Vegas.

I've never been.

They have the Eiffel Tower there,

the Statue of Liberty,

but no World Trade Center.

Do you think that's 'cause of 9/11

(AIRPLANE WHOOSHES)

Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS)

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

I forgive you.

WOMAN IN BLACK TOP: For what?

I found this.

WOMAN IN BLACK TOP: What's that?

You think I don't
know what you're doing?

You're feeding me poison.

You're making me sick?

So you and your boyfriend
can run off together?

You want me gone?
