Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2001) - full transcript
A physics professor approaching middle age decides to change his life with unexpected results. A rising young prosecuting attorney's plans are thrown into disarray as the result of a single careless act while distracted. A woman reluctantly faces her husband's infidelity. An envious insurance claims manager with family problems seeks revenge on a cheerful coworker, but has second thoughts. And an optimistic young cleaning woman awaits a miracle, only to have her faith shaken by a traumatic event. These ordinary people all find themselves asking the fundamental question philosophers have pondered throughout history: What is happiness, and how does one achieve it?
At last at home.
I... did not get a taxi.
So I took the subway.
and my umbrella did
not was in my briefcase.
Is there by the door.
Been smoking again?
- I wish he had talked to someone.
- I told you, I'm fine.
I decided to look on the
bright side the whole episode.
At least distract
me of my routine.
You sound like you deserve it.
I remembered the night
the guy who did this to me.
Had it been a boy, I might
not have been so surprised.
But he was almost my age.
To my knowledge he
had wife, bills to pay,
dines at the same
time every night.
Just like me.
For God's sake,
could have been me.
But what do you want?
What everyone wants:
Live life to the fullest.
agreed with enthusiasm,
be happy.
"13 Visions"
"Show me a happy man."
I serve another
round, Patrick.
- It's on time?
- Over 15 minutes.
15 minutes. Happy hour.
Apparently not,
if you look good.
At least I'm happy.
I sent another culprit to jail today.
I took more of an undesirable streets.
Show me a happy guy and I will
show yet another disaster to happen.
If you do not mind asking, what
makes you an authority on the subject?
I met a guy a happy
time. It was his curse.
That guy you met, he did not
have to be a vice conducting bar
drinking alone, right?
A guy who worked with me. Liked brag
about having everything under control.
Every day it was in the office, sat and
read the newspaper until 9:00 or 9:30,
At the end of the day let
things 5 munutes stowed missing,
Every Wednesday after lunch
turned around the block,
And back hair cut with a
sandwich and lottery tickets.
One morning I did the same
routine, read the news as usual
Seeing it was drawn,
and discovered that one of the tickets
in your portfolio worth $ 2 million.
Then rose rapidly
and at once resigned.
I needed to see the
smile on face that guy.
But you know what they say: Fortune
smiles to each other and kids.
So what happened: Neighbors
started coming to borrow money,
A woman appeared at the door saying
be loving and wanting her part,
His wife was a bitch about it, someone
threatened to kidnap his son teenager,
And his son had planned
everything myself,
and also went with
his mother-roll,
because he had asked her to
pray for him for good luck,
Then she says he got the
money because she lit candles,
Ai was thinking that I had
half the money and sued.
So, with all its
confiscated property,
not to mention the extortion
and loans, totally broke.
Then without realizing it,
again crawling into the office.
"Give me my job
right back..."
Whatever. He wanted
his old life back.
Now you tell me if this does
not was a curse, then what was?
Yes, but there is little difference
between your friend and me:
He wanted to get
ahead in life easily.
Where I do.
I work hard, meet my hours,
go to court, where do.
- May have been lucky this time.
- I do not believe in luck.
Luck is the lazy excuse.
You look like you a guy
who always lucky in life.
Let me guess, private school, Yates Club
Travel to Europe in summer, is not it?
Family fortune.
Let me say it was a
pleasure talk to you, friend.
Now if you'll excuse me.
I'm going back there with
my friends and celebrate.
It may serve him for
my other mind, Patrick?
Good story buddy.
- Who is your new friend there?
- Ah, he is a storyteller of the bar.
Won a lottery ticket
without premium.
He was trying to make you
feel guilty for having fun?
Surely not, because as
we say: Heck the blame!
We've had enough for today.
For my friend's
bar in the corner.
You my friend, yes sir.
Has another bar
nearby. Are you coming?
No, no no. I do not. Going home.
I have to wake up early tomorrow.
That's right. Good fun.
Where are you going?
- To the center.
- I leave you there.
You know, what he was thinking
said when he was arrested.
In the way that she threw herself on the
floor saying: "I will not, not going back"
I think the jury will remember this,
too, it's ever been arrested before.
I had to have mentioned their background.
The guy is a habitual offender.
His place is in jail. That's
the good part of our work, Owen.
We process the guilty, and held
those responsible for his acts.
I think that's
what people expect.
Want an example.
They want a structure. Evidence
that there is order in this world.
Let's show them a system what
distinguishes good from evil,
And they show us
a better society.
That's what we give them.
- Hey, are you ok?
- Yes, I'm fine.
- It's a hangover or what?
- It's no damn hangover.
I drank two drinks with
you at the bar, Owen.
I was not counting, man.
Just two. Two
drinks bloody awful.
- Do not need my mom here, right?
- I did not want.
What happened to your head?
Nothing. My idiocy.
Damn!
Look man, I'm sorry.
Sorry about that.
That was a long week.
It's ok. I know.
As is the case,
the drug dealer?
If you give me a ride
home talked on the way.
I can not. Maybe another
time. I'm without a car.
Troy, the boss is waiting.
He wants to see him right now.
- He said what was it?
- I know it. He is in office.
I have something here for you. Something
that requires special attention.
I was thinking of
taking a few days off.
Right now there's no way.
Here is the murder that
you were looking for.
He had two arrests
for shoplifting.
This would also have been
stolen, if I had done differently.
What do you mean?
The suspect grabbed the
camera from a tourist.
There was a short fight,
the victim fell and hit
his head hard on the ground.
He died almost instantly.
I'll pass your other
cases to another person.
By the way, you
stated for a promotion.
Wait. Stop here a minute.
Find what you
were looking for?
Dunno.
Look, I have to
turn on the meter.
Why not smile?
It's your lucky day.
"You're so serious."
The car travels at
50 miles per hour,
when he sees a
pedestrian 45 meters away.
Using this equation we see
that for reduce speed to zero,
requires a
deceleration constant.
Two meters per second squared.
Not have to take into account that the
car's speed is constant during the downturn?
Yes, the constant in this
case, in fact is an average.
A better example of
constant acceleration,
is the free fall of a body
vertical Earth's surface.
A pair of glasses twisted from
a tall building for example.
Any more questions?
Before we proceed?
Ok, so now let's see entropy.
Mr Hammond.
Tell me about the movement
a system of material isolated
a steady state to another.
As I thought. Let
me ask you something:
When he wakes in the morning, you
expected to arrange the bed alone?
You would expect in a hotel.
Maybe someone has an
example better to show you.
Mr Avery.
When the gases are mixed, the
entropy is larger than was initially
can never be separated.
Exactly. Can never
back to how it was.
"Irreversible"
Why so serious?
- Ah, I just I was thinking.
- What?
How my life changed
since we met.
I bet she never imagined she would
live in a room with a suitcase.
I can not believe you have not
brought the rest of their stuff.
Maybe I'll buy new
things. Start from scratch.
It is a simple reflection of light
using Internet converging lens.
Oh, I forgot to turn off.
Your husband asks you not
because you're not in the
office some afternoons?
I never asked.
- What will you do if he finds out?
- I'm not sure.
When I was diagnosed,
I said I understood
if I had to get
another company.
- But do not believe him.
- Some lie to make others happy.
Look, his health is improving.
Why should torment
him with doubts?
What the eyes do not see
can not hurt you, right?
Maybe it's better than
him living in illusions.
Your mind is your own address.
And you can make yourself a
hell of heaven, heaven and hell.
Paradise lost. I'm teaching
Milton this semester.
When I see you again?
Next Thursday, after
my class from 4:00
I was serious, when he
said that changed my life.
I'm different now.
You set me free.
What?
In a predictable life.
From a boring routine.
I'll see you again on
Thursday. At the same time.
"What the eyes do
not see out of mind."
Hey, Bea.
Get some rest.
I found this in
the hall closet.
He had a nice red too.
It's almost 1:00 am.
T? in my schedule.
All right. You can go.
I clean the bathroom.
It's cold here. How many
floors are still missing?
Just two more. You can.
Lives alone here?
Good little place here.
Family, friends.
decorations.
- He likes to live alone?
- Yes I could do where I wanted.
OK What is it?
I won on my birthday at age 5.
My mother was sick and a
neighbor took me to the beach,
I sat on the peer with
her to see the water.
and the way the sun shone on
water, looked like a fire, e.
I strained to touch
it with feet, and fell.
- The guy had to jump to save me.
- Where is the rest of it?
Rotted. And an eye sank.
- Looks like she is flashing.
- It's a sign.
I could have drowned on
that day. But not acnteceu.
Oh, I brought you something.
the Rudolphs sent to you.
Thanks.
Greece. I think we were
here a few months ago.
I guess we will
go many places.
It has a lot of money.
- They sleep in separate bedrooms?
- Yeah, probably are also psychologists.
The rich have nothing
better to do with your money.
What to do if you
had a lot money well?
Probably would give you.
Hi, I had to sit. My
back is killing me.
- We are just finishing here.
- Oh, do not worry. I will not mess up.
His shirt is torn. I
would seam it if you want.
- If there is too much work.
- No way.
- He smiled at you.
- I've seen.
Do not judge each
other not to be judged.
Beware, the judge
is always watching.
As an example of
suffering and patience,
see the prophets who
spoke the name of the Lord.
Watch out, thought
they were happy, but no!
He came every night that week.
Lets all scattered everywhere.
- Did not even have to get on the bathroom this morning.
- What does your partner say?
She says she is passionate.
How can you tell who is in
love by someone who barely knew.
Ridiculous.
Not just because they will have
to leave me. You can bet on it.
- What do I do?
- You can stay with me.
Barely have room for you.
For the rich is easy. No
need to worry about anything.
The rich care about
other things, I think.
Like what?
By not becoming poor.
One day you'll see I'm right.
Life is not fair.
It may seem now.
But do not know what may yet come
by forward. Amazing things happen.
You really believe that?
Well
never told you
this before, but.
the day I almost drowned, I
had a view across the water.
Then I asked about what had
happened but nobody saw anything.
With what looked like?
It was white, like a
candle flutters in the wind.
And as I watched,
I had the feeling
like were floating.
Then I saw that everything was going to
end well. And for some reason I got saved.
"I once met a happy man. Her
happiness was his misfortune."
What do you look so there
Wade attention? Your horoscope?
It will be another
great day for Bowman you?
I was watching the sports session.
My son was chosen for the swim team.
Really? Which one? The genius
of mathematics or the other?
The musician prodigy.
Casey, the eldest. It's a good
kid. Both are good thanks to God.
And what God thinks of the
good about your girlfriend?
What girlfriend?
You know. That speech in
which very sweet on the phone.
Do not tell us who is your wife. Nobody
talks that way even with a jailer.
Come on guys. We do not need to hear
How happy is the marriage of Bowman.
- I do.
- Will do 23 years next month.
23 years you say?
It is a coincidence.
My wife and I were happy
for 23 years. Oh we met.
What is all this excitement?
Any holiday that I'm not knowing?
No, Wade was telling
us on his luck.
Know how to tell the fortune:
Lucky for some, misery for others.
There was a disaster in the
Hudson need to give them a price.
Some idiot cut a tree that
fell into the neighbor's house.
He has our policy.
Half the roof was lost.
Lucky for him not to have happened
weeks afternoon with the rain.
Yes, absolutely. It will
love your point of view.
Take, for you Mickey. He slipped and
fell. I think it's a professional.
Has two more necklaces
Stolen on his record.
- See you guys.
- I hope you enjoy the traffic, Bowman.
I heard on the radio that the tunnels
are sealed off for at least 1 hour.
No problem. I have been in
half of those books in a k7.
- He is a bright side to everything.
- Yeah, good old smile.
Always finds a way out.
Kincannon called. The monthly meeting
if adinatou. What do you think?
Undoubtedly. It porcausa
of poor qualification.
Hello guys, I went home and
brought some tomatoes
from my garden.
Look at the size of it!
- Help yourselves.
- Mr vegetables.
- Thanks Bowman.
- Careful, are well juicy.
You bet.
I ask you something.
What do you think of it?
Say it's more the bastard
happy to know that.
Think he's happy?
not believe it. I think
is hiding something.
The devil does not appear
with horns and tail.
is the neighbor that
puts music out loud,
and steals the paper in front
of your door every morning.
That is looking at,
sir? Want something?
I wish it were taking care of business
elsewhere. We have children here.
What are you doing old man? Going
to arrest me? Send me to jail, hein?
Arrest you for what you watch the cable tv
all day at the expense of others? Not really.
Now excuse me. Yes
I am a real job.
Our rating lowered,
and we are trying to
find a way to fix it.
So I'd like to hear
from all departments.
and start with Gene
industry's complaints.
Well, we're having
a good performance,
Costs per claim are very
low and all are legitimate.
Well, not low enough.
The obvious solution is
to increase the bonuses,
I spoke to the audit department
and they gave me some ideas.
I was thinking if we're really here
evaluating our standard policies.
Stop to ensure certain properties
of neighborhoods, all at once.
Sorry, but the situation is nothing
to do with standard policies.
The reason is because we
descaptalizados. It's a financial problem.
What happened? Another
round of accusations?
They are thinking that this will
blame department by bad investments.
They are very wrong!
Hey, I got tickets for
the game tonight. Anyone?
- Who stole them this time?
- You can say what you want. There's nothing not.
- Hey I know that Gene is a fan of baseball. You want?
- I already have plans today.
- Do you know if Hank Starkwell will resign?
- I do not know. I was not even there.
Knew that this being hunted by
a company on the north coast.
He will resign.
- Who told you that?
- From the desk of redhead 35.
She reads every message.
- It's a darn hot outside.
- Nice haircut, Bowman.
Good news.
The factory fire was confined
to an empty warehouse.
It is beyond our
responsibility.
- Gene, call on line 3.
- Write down the message.
It is his ex-wife. He
said it was important.
I'll meet in my office.
- Since when is he here?
- Since last night.
Here's $ 1,500 bail.
What day of court?
Nov. 20. If it does not appear this
time, I can not do anything else.
He will appear. Believe.
Sit there. I'll send it out.
- What happened? What are we doing here?
- I did nothing.
- Ronnie, you say it every time.
- You too.
Hey, smoking is
prohibited here.
- He said not to smoke.
- Go to hell.
Ronnie, I just spend $ 1500 U.S. dollars.
Give me five minutes of your time. Ronnie!
Surely it's just a
phase that is passing.
Will pass.
I wanted to throw
it to the next phase.
Serve me another cup of
coffee please. Thanks.
Bowman's wife made
these biscuits. Want one?
I can not stop eating them.
What next? Last week tomatoes
large, this week biscuits.
His son won first place
a swimming competition.
Um, you still have leftovers.
I love my children too,
but I can not remember the last time
some of them gained some jealous.
I do not understand. I
think I missed some part.
Bowman simply slides off the
life without a care in the world,
Every day looks leaking roofs, crashed
cars, the misfortunes of others,
And smiling back. Smiling.
If I did not know better,
'd say he's jealous.
Say what? I heard right?
Said I'm jealous
Bowman's smiling?
No, I just wanted to say. As a
face for those that bother you?
Because he's a
regular guy. So.
He works every day,
home runs to exactly 5:00 am
to see his wife and children,
tidy the garden. He has no
vision. Has no direction.
His wife has made
cookies like these before?
I do not remember.
- Hey Gene, Lew Kincannon is there to see you.
- Really? What does he want?
Dunno. It was a little in his
office then returned upstairs.
I was stuck on the subway.
- What? What are you laughing?
- I am laughing? Neither realized.
- But I do. I see.
- Sorry Gene. I do not even realize.
- Lew?
- Gene Oh, please.
We are not in the elevator.
Just wanted you to know that
Hank Starkwell officiate.
Offered him a job in California.
It starts at the end of the month.
- Oh, I heard something about it.
- There could be a worse time.
We can not remain without a
vice president. Especially now.
We will promote someone
from within here,
because they do not want to
hurt the morale of the company.
And in the meantime, we will ask all
managers to cut costs for their industries.
So do what you can.
"Steal men kiss women,"
"Another guy says: Let Jesse
rob the train as you want. "
"It's because I'm excited.
We're doing the wedding. "
I could never
concentrate those dates.
Do not know how you
stand up, Bowman.
Dick, can come here?
Close the door.
Gene Heck. Your shirt!
Drugs.
- The smile that Mr.'s laughing now?
- Dunno.
I heard it was birthday,
after not pay more attention.
I bet 10 bucks and shot
the smile on his face.
Come on. Was with him
impicando for almost two years.
Whatever we say or do,
does not seem to affect it.
Not this time!
Seems serious. Should
I call the Mickey?
No, leave it between us. Kincannon
do not come to me a social visit.
- We must reduce spending.
- He will sell the car factory?
I will do whatever it takes. Mr smile
was gone. Should I give him the good news.
Kincannon wants you to resign?
Well, I do the bills every day and only
cut sheets of paper does not resolve.
And nobody wants
to reduce wages.
He is here just two years,
and was the last to be hired.
Well, it seems his
luck finally over.
The Lord gives but also takes away.
We will see now if it was all acting.
Wade, can come to my office
one minutes? Has committed?
- Nothing that can not wait.
- I will be brief.
Sit.
Well, let me get
down to business.
I regret to have to tell you that
Wade, but we have to dispense it.
Understood. Is this some kind of joke
is not it? The guys were also there.
No joke. I am very sorry to say but
believe me, it hurts me so much as to you.
I do not know what to say.
Things were going so well.
Gene, I have to ask: Is
it about me? Or did they?
No, nothing with you. The company
is going through difficult times
and I feel that more heads
will roll before its over.
Well, it makes me feel better.
Not that I want it to anyone else.
You can finish this week
and see if I can get a good
package compensation for you.
Thanks Gene. Thank
you very much.
You know, maybe I should
look at good side of things.
Can I take holidays
always wanted.
Spending more time with my
children before they grow.
- Good night, Gene.
- Yes, good evening.
- See you tomorrow Dick.
- Right.
Do not tell me that
he had courage to do.
- No, you're done.
- He walked out the door smiling.
No doubt he was smiling when
came out and said goodnight.
Yes, you won.
I thought I had won, but at the last
moment he has revealed everything and over.
If he had knelt for mercy I think
it would have been a penalty.
Here you are.
- No need to pay me.
- As you wish.
Goodnight Gene. See
you tomorrow morning.
"Damn the blame."
An engine with 330 horsepower,
2.36 kg of torque and a
maximum speed of 220 km / h.
Then you can go from
0 to 1004.8 seconds?
Yes, something like that.
If you do not mind asking,
why you want to sell it?
Do not drive anymore.
What does a guy like you
to maintain such a car?
It was a gift from my parents.
Work in public ministry.
It must be frustrating to
give with crime in this city.
I was robbed at
gunpoint recently.
The guy took my wallet
and hit me for no reason.
I left a black eye.
He could have killed me.
The guy who robbed
you, already got him?
I doubt that
someone is looking.
Life goes on. I suffered
my loss and now ended.
My eye has gone. Over time will
be as if nothing had happened.
"Ask yourself if he's happy"
Sorry, that was
penseri another person.
Sorry if I woke up.
You're bleeding.
Let me make a
dressing for you.
A week ago, he was
robbed at gunpoint.
The next day I
received a phone call,
a man found his wallet
in a garbage can.
He delivered the
same day, but.
I never told my husband.
They had things in the portfolio
that indicated having an affair.
- Mind if I smoke?
- No.
You said nothing?
No, I was expecting
him to say,
or I catch him lying.
You seem very calm.
Maybe it's because he is
accustomed to feel lonely.
I was thinking on the way
back home, how strange.
is living in a
city as crowded,
and all trying not to look.
- Self protection, I aho.
- I once read an article that said,
humans need 45cm
of personal space.
Strange, no? Place a
number for this? 45cm?
Yet behind it all,
we might want the same things.
Perhaps we are more
connected than we think.
You think so?
I'm sure your husband will
create legal proceedings.
Ask yourself if you are
happy and wishes to be.
That evening before leaving, it took
1 million hours to get a simple case.
Ultimately, I
had to do to him.
That's it then.
The bag and the bag
will take with me.
Take. The address is on the
label. I'll meet you there.
- And these boxes?
- They're for charity.
"Fortune smiled for
some Kids and others."
Listen, I spoke with
the lawyer last night.
They said if we send some kind of qualification
the Ronnie can get lighter with him.
Well, I do not what
mport Del says about it.
- The monthly balance. I wanted to look.
- I'm on the phone with my ex.
Sorry, I have been under pressure.
The company is not doing well.
Wait a minute! I did not say
who was seeking employment.
I will not sell pens for Del Strickland.
Say thanks, but do not need favors.
Dou hard to raise my
child. That's right.
Yes, that's it.
I was busy working with my father
and he gave me a company like Del did.
What? It took me years
to get where I am.
For your information I am
about to be vice president.
Who's whistling?
I. Just trying to liven things up
here. A small tribute to Bowman smiling.
Stop it. I can
not concentrate.
Come on Gene, it's just a joke. You do
not see a smile here since Bowman left.
Speaking in Bowman, give anything
for one of those cookies now.
We do not have a
cafeteria here, Pete.
They are talking of Mr. Smile?
I saw him at the train station
Was wearing a suit and tie. Nobody
know if he was going to work.
Poor guy.
appears you have not
told his wife.
seems to come to town every single day
for coffee and reading the newspaper.
What will he do? Already has more than 50
years. It would be easy to get a job.
Traded much so his job curriculum
does not help much.
Daria lucky if you get a job Packers.
But young people want to do it.
Or veteran.
- Hi, I am looking for Ronnie.
- He's out. Later return.
- Any ideia what time?
- Dunno. He just came out.
Want to leave a
message or something?
Yes, say his father Gene started
here. Care to give him that?
Thanks.
Say see you on
Wednesday, right?
Hello guys. Dunno.
Same as always.
Gene? Gene English? How are you?
Can I buy you a cup and coffee?
- No no. I am in a hurry.
- Just a minute.
- Want to eat something?
- I just eat.
Someone left it in there in
the seats. I saved for you.
Thanks Gus.
- How is to get a job?
- You know it takes time.
- And how are things at the office?
- Same drop budget.
The company is fortunate to have a guy
like that. Especially at these times.
Well do not despair.
For all is a solution.
I really believe that.
I'll let him eat in peace.
Got to get back to the office.
- Good to see you.
- Good to see you. " It was fate.
Hey, want to play poker tonight?
Our usual guy can not go.
- It seems that his daughter is with rubella.
- I can not. My mother is in town.
Qeur play poker tonight, Gene?
Are prepared for big change?
What are you talking
about? What a great change?
We're moving to the upstairs. Divide
with another department. I thought I knew.
- Where did you hear that?
- My friend's desk 35.
Hey, I did not think
so was a big secret.
They always plan to announce when
the new vice president takes over.
- And they are planning to increase the working hours.
- What new vice president?
One department
manager finance.
They know who I mean. What's
his name? The young guy!
There's nothing better to
do than chatter all day?
Ok, it's good for me. I'll
finish the snack in my room.
Yes, go to your room and
do something useful there,
instead of poking your nose where
it is called your pathetic loser!
Yes, I am a loser.
That's right, Gene.

Discover yourself.
Why bother with it, Gene?
Why look at all like enemies?

guy like us trying to survive.

- I just heard.
Do not believe rumors. No good
attention. Hey, where are you going?
Mr. Strickland will

I came here to ask you if you have
any vacancy in its sales force for us.
Gene always told
you what I needed,
was just saying.
I know it's a great worker.
I'd love to have you aboard.
No, not for me. It's for someone who
already worked with us, call Wade Bowman.
It's both a guy and
and a excellent worker.
There has been fortunate
ultimamante and thought I'd help him.
What happened?
He was released?
Yes, you know how it
works. Occupational hazard.
Rose will be in the audience

Ok. Can I solve this.
- Thanks for the tip.
- I'll give you a call to the guy.

In between, no hitting.
It's all here in

A tin of sardines. We say
goodbye to our windows.
- How long have you worked here?
- 14 years in January.
It was already here when Eddie
Jasper had nervous breakdown?
No, I think that was before I joined.
I've heard. He was the guy who.
lost control in the
middle a meeting, right?
Yes, they had to take
him in an ambulance.
Just when things seemed
have improved for him.
Came here, worked,
talked about his family.
The problem is that he had another wife
and children of another side of the Hudson.
He wanted everything and had
everything. Multiplied by two.
It's like the old
Egyptian curse.
Whatever you want, you will.
Go ahead and take.
But pick and pay!
- Oh my God, Oh my God!
- What?
- Holy cow!
- Are you ok?
- I won, I won!
- In the lottery?
I won! I won!
Oh God, I have checked the numbers in
this newspaper for eight years, every day.
- How much? How much?
- Two million dollars!
- I can not believe!
- Congratulations!
- What will you do with so much money, man?
- Dunno.
Wait a minute! As I do not know
what I'll do with so much money?
Yes I know what I'll do!
I have to go back to work
one more day of my life.
I'll never set foot in
this place while I live!
Let me tell you one
thing, Gene. Listen here.
Take a good look.
This is how a
winner looks like.
This is how it
really looks like.
Take one last good look.
because I'm fading away!
- Very good!
- Take care, man.
My God!
God exists, I assure you that.
"Wisdom comes suddenly."
I have good news.
My roommate ended with the boyfriend.
There is no need to change me.
That bastard took our TV.
How's work?
Mrs. Turner made another
complaint from me.
He said he broke
one of their statues.
Bitch.
When will you return?
I miss you. It is totally
strange when you're not there.
I do not know.
The agency said it can not
go back to remove the plaster.
She was lucky to be alive. The
doctor said it was by a miracle.
Someone was protecting.
How is the architect?
He stopped the service.
You know he does not
want me go without you.
Put the boxes with some
your stuff in your room.
And the rest I
put in the garage.
For you.
I tried to find one that matched
with the original color of your hair.
Never thought I'd wear a wig.
- Thanks.
- Never mind.
It's good to have
it back, baby.
- You have returned everything from the hospital?
- Just what was in her purse.
Some of the clothes
you wore were discarded.
- It's not missing anything, are you?
- No.
It can cause a fire here.
This is an old house.
I'm going down there, ok?
What a surprise.
Brought right back his
shirt. Sorry for the delay.
I heard about your accident.
I hope to return to work soon.
Hey, the last time I was here,
I noticed when I arrived at work.
I had left my
watch in the sink.
He was a gift.
I put in the drawer for
not get wet. I'll show you.
Sorry, I forgot to put it
right back after they wiped.
Oh God.
Oh, sorry. I thought you.
I mean. You know.
What happened to you anyway?
A car hit me.
Why?
Because I was on the road.
She was going shopping.
Come in. Beatrice,
her friend here.
You live far away. Took
forever to get here.
There had to.
I have spent.
Had to talk to
you because dunno.
Someone complained, someone
made a complaining of anything.
Certainly that was the
bitch from Mrs. Turner.
And now what will I do?
It is not fair.
- What?
- I said that life is not fair.
- You were right.
- Why do you say that?
Because it is so. The architect
found who had stolen his watch.
That guy is an idiot. And you
would never do something like that.
I should have caught.
Since I was accused.
I thought and thought why
I was hit by that car, and
because I was in that
corner at that moment.
Why that white shirt
flew from my hands?
then I discovered.
what is wrong.
I just think.
you never know what will
find around the corner.
Is what you say. You are
always telling me this.
They opened my eyes.
Can never return.
Things have changed.
You're different.
I'm not different.
I'm like anybody else.
"I can never get back."
Me and some friends I met in the
elevator let's have a drink. Want to come?
No thanks. I have a lot to do.
People are starting to thee
San call Troy in the back.
Your last chance to accept the
provision offered by the supervisor.
Otherwise the case
will go to trial.
Your Honor, my client keeps
his declaration of innocence.
- When is the sentence?
- Next Monday.
This is hard to judge. It
seems that will condemn it.
Probably.
Took the life of a person.
It has to be punished.
As you think?
All day. In what is?
The guy who killed him.
I had achieved
a job interview.
But it was raining.
The trains were crowded.
They spent three trains
and I could not catch one.
After a while, I saw
that I had lost my chance.
It was then that I was
behind steal the camera.
I did not want
to hurt that guy.
You know what I say to
myself same every single day?
I say: If it had not rained.
If it had not rained.
"The mind is its home."
I can not find anything
wrong physically on you.
That the symptoms described, I
suspect that was a panic attack.
It makes no sense. I do
not usually have panic.
Had changes in
your life recently?
- Yes, some.
- E?
Were mostly positive.
I still feel dissatisfied.
As there was
something missing.
I wonder; Is that all?
Exists, nothing more.
What are you looking for?
Not sure anymore.
Sometimes I look at the
faces of my students e.
marvel at how
enthusiasm to live,
when they learn something new.
Enat?o should feel
satisfied when teaching, no?
Not the same thing. I got it.
- Can I talk to you?
- My day consultation is the second until 5:00.
I was wondering if
I could redo my test.
Not as good as I could.
Still not finished fixing them.
Maybe has gone better than you think.
It is very important. I have to pass
this takes to go to medical school.
You spend most of the time in
class trying to get attention.
Often arrives late.
You make certain choices. Have
to live with the consequences.
There are things happening
in my life. Personal problems.
I'm not sleeping right. My
girlfriend and I broke up.
Cause effect. The
third law of motion.
- Professor Tate is?
- Do not come today.
He had a kind of
family emergency.
I understand. Thanks.
Not working. Indeed it is
causing the opposite effect.
I can prescribe
something else,
but do not know if the answer
is what you are looking for.
Perserso is not? People
are year rolling their minds
educating themselves and in the
end just want to stagger them.
Another night I found myself
in front my old apartment.
She had not been there since
My wife and I separated.
You were happier there?
- I intended, I guess.
- Why leave?
Always seen as the satisfaction
a form of resignation.
I accept things as they are.
It means giving up.
I'm not ready to surrender.
Maybe I'll come back.
I can not say now, but know
I'll see my wife back there.
All my stuff are still there.
We can determine the
extension "R" in this equation.

- Even if one of them is significant.
- There is no "if"!
Physics is an exact matter. The
laws of the universe are absolute.
He knows.
What happened?
He said he could
not live without me.
I understand.
What about you? You
can say the same?
Professor, I was wondering is
already finished correcting the exams.
I will deliver them on
Monday. Mark me after a time.
Could you give me an
indication if I pass?
Do not expect me to
remember each note.
- It could take a look.
- Why you want to be either a doctor?
- To help people.
- How?
Keeping them alive today,
and prolong their
misery for tomorrow?
It seems that Mr. Hammond
arrived late again.
There was a party last night.
He fell in the courtyard
the building of mathematics.
Can not be. The
distance is too long.
Had it fallen, would
have been in the bushes.
Must have skipped.
Am I wrong teacher?
"I'm ready to surrender."
A neighbor found
in his apartment.
The door was wide open.
I do not think most ceseguir?a
live with this secret.
- Why am I summoned?
- The note he left was addressed to you.
I want you to take
care of it here for him.
- You're back.
- I just arrived.
I guess I was dreaming.
You know what happened?
Septicemia of porcausa
cut on his head.
That's not what
I'm talking about.
Your note sounds like a testament.
All you have is resigning.
I want to give something
to the victim's family.
Compensates them well.
What if you could do
something for the girl?
Wish I could.
You can.
How it would be?
I did not pay for help.
Sometimes people get lucky.
They have a second chance.
Dori!
Did not recognize
you. His hair grew.
Why never call?
I know there is.
I felt.
I felt bad for you
after the accident.
I do not know you, but it was
difficult to be by your side.
You were the one who always
made the right things.
For a while I could
not see anything good.
No matter where I looked.
Soon I could no longer endure.
I was in the city
center Rush hour in, e.
had a lot of noise, was packed
with people, everyone is pushing, e.
I was stuck, you know?
Someone hit me from
behind then I said: Enough.
I give up.
I was standing on the corner
looking at the traffic,
Wondering how simple it
would be. Only a few steps.
Perhaps it should
have happened before.
Maybe that was
to be my destiny.
I chose one person from another
across the street. To observe.
Someone.
Somebody give me a
reason to do it, you know?
So I chose a man,
I looked right in his face and
thought how people are selfish.
Miserable and predictable.
Look, I swear he must have read my
mind because he looked at me and smiled.
That's it. Broke Fetic.
- I'm happy.
- Me too.
How are you? Hello
- Gene Ingl?s, how are you?
- Hello Wade, how have you been?
Oh Gene, I'm fine.
KINDA great job in sales.
I am executive of calculations
for abastecimanto firm.
- I have been there more than one year there.
- Wonderful.
You would not believe. One day I
received a phone call out of nowhere.
The president of the
company called me.
He said he heard me dem accessor
using Internet companies,
I was looking for employment.
Things could not
leaving better.
You always said that born with
the tail pointing towards the moon.
And I think that
neither deserved.
You know Gene, I'm thinking
about you, in him a visit.
See how it's going in
class office supplies.
But I knew if things
were still you know.
Take.
Let me give you my card. Should
fall find out more for coffee.
Sorry for the delay. The meeting
lasted longer than I expected.
- What are we celebrating anyway?
- We are celebrating?
They just cut my
neck. I was fired.
I hope you pay up the penny.
It will be a great pleasure.
For my friend's bar in the corner.
Yes, sir, for you my friend.
There are some lawyers
celebrating success
just because someone arrested.
I wonder what to say
to my son when he left.
I have enough time
to think about it.
Maybe I still think in a way
being named "Father of the Year.
Speaking of which.
Guess who I found!
What a small world!
So he's still working with
the husband of his ex-wife?
- It fascinates him.
- Naturally.
He said that was
for you he got?
Let's say so;
There are many people in this world
who do not I have to give explanations.
Bowman is one of them smiling.
Furthermore, he believes in
miracles. Why spoil your illusion?
Perhaps you're
right. How do I know?
Patrick, my friend here will serve another
round to see if it motivates them a little.
Friend, was there thinking.
gained in their colleague
the lottery ticket.
The child, kidnapping, the
mafia and this whole thing.
Anyway, I thought about
it and said to myself:
If there really is
luck, if it exists,
I hope to be lucky enough to
recognize it when it comes my way.
Well in that case, you can get
what and want to want what you want.
You too. Good
evening my friend.
mother's fault
his father...
He pleaded for the
old Egyptian curse.
He was already talking to
him before you get here.
You already have
everything planned.
He was so vain that I had
tell him about Mickey Wheeler.
Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you.
Mickey called me the other night.
Oh yeah? What did he want? That you
were giving evidence in his case?
No longer. It seems that the
acquitted in the case of his mother.
- Do not tell me!
- I mean, a woman can light candles in 1000,
pray the rosary every
night but before the court
can not prove that the
prayers have effect.
Or as the judge said: "Faith
is the antithesis of proof."
So you need to plumb
have faith in something.
When I was married and worked
hard, I was offered extra training,
So I went to take a course
administration in another state.
My wife and I had problems why
did not need to convince me.
The day I left, was on the
street and saw in the window.
When I came back eight weeks later,
she had already filed for divorce.
I can still see her in that window
waiting for a nod or a simple gesture.
And I always wonder how
it been if I had just.
waved his hand, maybe
not was sufficient.
Maybe we were still together.
Maybe my son would not
be a stranger today.
It would be good if.
It would be nice if we could
sometimes see the future.
That's the problem, right?
Life only makes sense
when you look back.
It's a shame that we
can only live it forward.
