It's happening. I'm on the front line

right now down here in Occupy Wall Street.

And there's, like, free sandwiches,

and stuff. It's awesome.

Are we, in the words of Jimmy Cliff,

gonna save our planet Earth.

Or are we,

in the words of Jim Morrison,

who's gonna get our nut before

the whole shithouse comes down?

I do need you to bring me a

battery for the camera...

because I forgot the battery.

I thought, as I said on the phone,

that it would be great...

to start talking about these

things before your wedding,

and really start sort of

distilling for both of you...

what's important,

and what you feel might be negotiable.

Actually, you know,

Warren, I don't recall...

that we've ever discussed

your relationship...

to Judaism, and where you stand,

theologically speaking.

I was...

I was raised Jewish.

I, uh... had

a bar mitzvah.

Um...

I had a bris.

We don't need any proof.

We believe you.

Okay.

So, would you say that you

consider yourself today...

a practicing Jew?

I don't know what I am.

Uh, at the moment,

I think I'm leaning toward...

f***in' Buddhism.

Well, then today

is a great opportunity...

for all of us together

to talk about...

what you both believe in

your hearts to be important.

Well, uh...

You know, things

are weird out there.

They're really

kind of scary out there.

Crazy weather.

That was crazy.

That, and

the impending global...

massive change

that's going to happen...

at the latter end of 2012.

That has me, um,

uh, kind of preoccupied.

That and, you know,

there's certain shadow governments...

that are making very bold

maneuvers with our air space.

Yikes, honey.

It is... It is exciting, but maybe,

you know, for another time, babe.

It's happening now, honey.

It's not just the film.

It's happening with me. Now.

This anxiety.

This is all happening

right f***in' now,

and I'm trying to tell you this,

and you don't seem to want to listen to me.

I've been trying to tell you for

several weeks what's going on.

No. I do want

to listen.

But right now...

Actually, right now...

Right now, we are sitting with these two

lovely people that were nice enough...

Honey, what the f*** was that?

Whoa. Listen, I'm not

gonna sit there...

- I'm not gonna lie to those people.

- You don't want to get married.

- What are you talking about?

- Bullshit, okay?

This is about...

I want to survive.

This is about your fear

of commitment again.

No. I don't know what you're talking about.

You're being crazy.

I'm not saying you're doing it consciously,

but unconsciously,

you're sabotaging

our life together.

I feel it.

I feel it every day.

You walk out the door.

You just... You just need to listen to me,
