I, uh, can't swim.

- Man:
I told you I'd teach you.

- Lucy:
He taught me.

You said it caused problems,

teaching someone you're close to,

so I thought-

I don't think so.

It was something else.

I just said it was the swimming lessons.

It wasn't the swimming lessons?

Man:

No. Come summer,

you'll go boating at night...

in the moonlight.

Huh? Huh?

Under the stars.

Yeah, I should learn, I guess.

We'll go uptown-

a pool in Harlem.

- Beautiful pool.

- It's heated?

- I'm serious.

- I'm serious.

Man:

It'll get me back going.

I used to go three, four times a week.

Yeah.

Thanks for everything. Yeah.

Connie:
Hi, I'm calling

from Dr. Bob's Grief Seminars.

The new seminar experience

offers techniques-

that's right.

Credit card.

violent acts,

the pain of sudden death-

- I did?

- Lucy:
Credit card.

Mr. Pendecker.

He said to call back tomorrow.

Remember, it's "Hello,"

the opening,

"Give me the credit card. "

The pitch,

"Give me the credit card. "

- It's a mantra.

- Dr. Bob:
Maybe another peek

at the website will help

with the calls, hmm?

Get you more familiar

with what we do here.

- Okay.

- Call me.

Credit card.

Give me the credit card.

- Let's go a little deeper.

- Deeper?

You'll still touch.

A little deeper.

It's getting deep.

Alittle more

- It's pretty deep.

- Okay, try it now.

Ugh.

That's good, but-

Jack, that's good, but go under.

Make the bubbles under the water,

then come up.

Take a breath, then go under.

Bubbles, come up.

Get a rhythm going.

We'll do it together.

Are you ready?

But it's good. Are you ready?

Breath.

Under.

You can keep your eyes open.

My goggles leak.

They should suck around

your eyes a little bit.

- How do they feel?

- Okay.

I want you to visualize.

- Visualize?

- It's a technique.

- Close your eyes.

- I thought you said open them?

When you do it, yeah.

But now

it's something you can do at home-

visualization-

when you're not actually in the water.

I want you to close your eyes.

- Okay.

- See yourself going under,

blowing bubbles, coming up.

- Okay.

- Try it. See yourself do it.

Okay.

Man:
Jack.

- Jack.

- Yeah?

- You visualized?

- Yeah.

- Your eyes were open?

- You said close them.

No, to visualize.

Yeah, when we do it, yeah.

But when you visualized you went under,

your eyes were open?

Yeah, I think.

Try it again.

Yeah, open.

Good. Okay.

Look at me when we do it.

We'll do it now, together.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

You're doing good.

I can do better.

- You're doing good.

- I can do better.

This f***ing guy.

- I just need the application.

- We're closed.

Just the application.

F*** you.

Lucy:
It's a sales job.

That's the bottom line.
