00:04 Can I hold your hand?
00:07 It's kind of hard for me to fall asleep while we're holding hands.
00:11 How about for a minute?
00:13 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:24 You know what's funny?
00:26 What?
00:27 Every moment of my life is hell.
00:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:30 You actually seem very happy to me a lot of the time.
00:33 It's hell.
00:35 I don't think it'll last, though.
00:38 I'm actually pretty unhappy, too.

00:44 Wayne has a migraine.
00:45 You had a headache yesterday.
00:47 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:49 He thinks maybe I transferred it to him.
00:51 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:57 So what do you do for fun, Lacey?
00:59 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:03 Wouldn't you rather be hanging out with your friends?
01:05 I don't have any friends.
01:07 Why?
01:08 I don't know.
01:09 It's a complete mystery to me.
01:11 You're a beautiful person, Janet.
01:13 But objectively, you do make bad decisions.
01:16 Well, who knows?
01:18 Well, you know.
01:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:23 I've always had this knowledge that I
01:26 could make any man fall in love with me if I really tried.
01:31 And I think maybe it's ruined my life.
01:34 Can you stop?
01:36 Stop what?
01:39 Stop trying.
01:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:44 Before the universe existed, there was nothing.
01:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:48 And out of nothing came something.
01:50 Bang.
01:52 Everything changes in an instant.
01:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
01:58 What are we even talking about when we talk about others?
02:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:05 So what do I do?
02:07 You want me to tell you what to do?
02:10 Yes.
