The Elevator: Three Minutes Can Change Your Life Page #2

---

stuttering are we, Jack?

Do you know? I'll take that as a "yes".

Ladies and gentlemen, I asked Jack -

"What is my occupation?

And he answered - "teacher".

And the correct answer is:

A teacher.

Congratulations.

You know, we should celebrate your first

correct answer, with a bottle of wine.

A bottle of Villa Tirrena, right?

Villa Tirrena, is that your favorite wine? 100% Merlot?

If we ever get out of here alive,

we should have a glass. Right Jack?

A teacher. Absolutely amazing.

Teacher.

You are probably one of those people who think

that teaching isnt a real job.

And you are one of those people who think that

you got to where you are -

- thanks to your own unique talent..

Well that's bullshit, Jack.

You are who you are, thanks to people like me.

We teachers, we raise you , we educate you

From childhood to adolescence

We teach you right from wrong.

But in your case,

it was obviously a waste of time.

Yes. I remember.

Youre crazy.

Do you remember it Jack?

It's really simple.

Your teacher would have been disappointed

if you had forgotten that, hmm

Can you sing it?

Sing it.

Sing.

Show me that your teacher didnt waste her time on you.

That was very good. Very good.

Lets get on with the game.

Were going to play for your toenail.

Question number 2,

a movie question.

Which is the odd movie out?

A:
Misery?

B:
Diabolique? 1953 French version of course.

C:
Kill Bill.

D:
Million Dollar Baby.

Think it over.

You can always ask for help.

I...

I cant hear you, Jack.

Why are you doing this to me?

Its not a request?

No answer is the same as a wrong answer.

Either way you lose a nail.

Those are the rules of the game.

This is not a game.

Answer!

I have no idea.

Answer!

Damn sh*t!

Oh my God! No...

No, no... Oh my God...

No!

Thats what happens. See?

Oh my God.

I hope this will make you consider -

the consequences of the questions.

Now, Im going to ask the question again

- and we are going to play for the nail,

of your other big toe.

Question # 2:

Which is the odd movie out?

Is it A:
Misery

B:

Oh, you are insane, f*** you.

Ah, maybe I am.

Maybe Im, I was the nurse in this operation

Either way,

you should realise.

Come on, Jack.

You certainly know the answer.

I mean, a man with your knowledge of films.

You have the biggest DVD collection I have ever seen.

Youve ever seen?

Yeah sure,

Oh, I will have to give you back "The Big Lebowsky".

You were in my apartment?
