cafeteria workers, custodians.

Worst part is the repetition.

Maybe it's having to balance

multiple things like a circus clown.

No.

It's the repetition.

So, how are you doing?

Wanna hear the specials?

What can I get for you?

Want something to drink?

How would you

like that prepared?

Can I get you something else?

And on...

and on...

and on.

[loud thud]

Ready?

[Lissa] When I remember it,

I remember hearing...

14% of the population

lives below the poverty line

in Greensburg.

The average annual income

per person is $24,599.

One out of six

have a college degree.

Nine out of ten

have at least one child.

About 90 people die

of drug overdoses every year.

When I remember it...

I remember knowing...

I will never do any better.

[nurse] Dr. Woods will see you in a minute.

First, I just need your...

I thought...

Never mind, sorry.

Do you wanna use

your mom's insurance?

If that's okay.

[nurse] Do you have

her policy number?

Her policy number?

[nurse] Do you know

who her provider is?

I guess...

no, not really.

[nurse] Do you have any information

about her insurance at all?

Uh...

My mom and I don't

really talk anymore.

[nurse] Lissa,

I'm sorry about your dad.

Not your fault.

[nurse] I'm sure I can find

your mom's insurance here.

Looks like you've put on

a little bit of weight

since last time you were in.

Your heart rate's

a little fast.

Have you been doing

anything you shouldn't?

No. I don't do anything.

Your blood pressure's

136 over 94.

Is that normal?

Normal's 120 over 80.

[indistinct voices]

- [indistinct voices]

- [woman] Get up! Do something!

[woman] Don't...

[metallic pounding]

[Daniel] I can't believe

it's been a year.

I just finished this philosophy class.

F***ing awesome.

It was about Wittgenstein.

He said this great thing,

he said, "Death is not an event of

life, death is not lived through."

What do you think about that?

I don't. Don't other people

live through it?

Do you wanna sit down?

[pounding echoes]

I, um...

I have a surprise for you.

- Yeah?

- I'm gonna take you to a bad place for good drugs.

Happy birthday.

[techno music playing]

[Daniel, voice echoing] My professor

said I wrote the perfect essay.

Those were his words.

"Perfect."

I focused on Wittgenstein's

propositions.

We should read them.

I focused on...

[voice fading under music]

"If by eternity is understood

"not endless temporal duration

but timelessness...

...then he lives eternally

who lives in the present."

And that's true...

It's about being present now.

Right now.

There's so much

to see... to do...

to become...

I can't be trapped by home...

in Greensburg.

Family.
