00:10Hi.
00:13Good morning, Edward.
00:14Oh my god, she speaks.
00:16If you were going any slower, we would go back in time.
00:19Why do you keep pointing at every turn?
00:21Why are you in therapy?
00:22I don't know, ma'am. Okay, I'm a writer. I'm neurotic.
00:24Repeat after me.
00:25I'm going to stop taking care of other people and start taking care of myself.

00:51None of us asked to be here in the first place, you know.
00:54I'm going to have to bring a sleeping bag in here.
00:56Well, where am I going to sleep?
00:59This can only happen to you.
01:02This is the universe taking a shit on me.

01:06Mom, we're going to have to make this work.
01:08We can do it together.

01:20You have to...
01:21What? What do I have to what?
01:23Live.
01:24Live your life.
01:33I like being on my own.

01:38Weird.
