Jack And Jill vs. The World Page #2

It eliminates the middleman.

Puts more money in

the hands of the grower.

You know about this?

Of course.

Doesn't everybody?

If everybody knows about it,

how come everyone doesn't buy it?

Not everyone carries it, I guess.

Downstairs. They sell

fair-trade blend downstairs.

I don't think that's the same.

Why don't more

coffee shops carry it?

It's all about profits.

Internationally, coffee prices have fallen,

like, 80% in the last decade.

Does that low-fat cup of crap

gotten any cheaper?

Do you know where to get it?

Ask a hippie. They'll tell you.

Do you get it?

- No.

- Why not?

'Cause, Jack.

Hippies scare me, all right?

Mister... Smith?

This is Jill, our trainee.

She's gonna sit in on this.

Is that okay?

- Hello.

- Hi.

Just a few questions.

Excuse me?

Why do you want to adopt this cat?

Is that a trick question?

No. No tricks.

Just a simple question

to get things rolling.

I like cats.

Is that your answer?

Yeah.

Is there something wrong with that?

We encourage details

usually, but that's fine.

"Likes cats."

Black cats. I like black cats.

They're soft and everything.

Small and soft and cuddly.

I like that.

Right.

"Likes black cats."

Innocence.

I'm especially fond of their innocence.

Have you ever worn

platform boots, Mr. Smith?

Plat-Platform boots?

Teased your hair,

put on make-up, that sort of thing?

Excuse me. What's...

Do you remember that band,

they had that splash in the early '90s?

I think it was, uh, Postal Partum?

That's my band.

That was you?

Really?

They had that huge crowd-pleaser.

They whole act where

they bit the kittens' tails off.

It was just pretend.

Drummers. They give me

the heebie-jeebies.

- Getting the hang of this?

- Yeah. No drummers.

Got it.

Hey, Dad.

Jack.

It's the first Monday

of the month, Dad.

Of course. Of course it is.

How you been?

Fine.

How's the job?

It's fine.

How's business?

Fine.

Fine.

I've been reading something.

I think this is right up your alley.

This is out of print,

so I was lucky to get my hands on this.

A History of Russia.

Riasanovsky.

That's great, Dad.

Thanks.

This Klubendorff's actually not bad.

Welcome to the Klub.

Anyway, I'm really grateful.

But I have to say that hawking goods

with all my sh*t hanging out

isn't my thing.

You're moving on?

Life's too short.

You gotta do

what makes you happy.

The thing is people don't know

what makes them happy.

They think they know

because we tell them.

Real happiness is bad for sales.

Are you happy?

Uh...

happiness is overrated.

# Show me all your love

trapped inside #

# Take me into your world #

# And I'll try my best to get you high #

# Take you on a moonlight ride #
