that I was only trying

to burn my ex-girlfriend's stuff

and not the entire house.

Yeah, fire's tricky that way.

Yeah. How 'bout you?

Any history of arson?

Strangely enough...

I knew it. I could see

that little spark.

Well, it wasn't arson, probably.

When I was a little girl,

our house caught on fire.

Oh, sh*t.

I'll never forget the look

on my father's face

as he gathered me up

in his arms and raced

through the burning building

out onto the pavement.

I stood there,

shivering in my pajamas,

and watched the whole world

go up in flames.

And when it was over,

I said to myself,

"Is that all there is to a fire?"

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

Is that all there is?

If that's all there is, my friends

Then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze

And have a ball

If that's all there is

And then I met

the most wonderful boy in the world.

We would take long walks

by the river.

We'd sit for hours

gazing into each other's eyes.

We were so very much in love.

And then one day he went away,

and I thought I'd die, but I didn't.

And when I didn't, I said to myself,

"Is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is

Is that all there is

If that's all there is, my friends

Then let's keep...

I know what you're thinking.

If that's the way she feels about it,

why doesn't she just end it all?

Oh, no.

I'm in no hurry

for that final disappointment.

I know as sure as I'm

standing here talking to you,

that when

that final moment comes

and I'm breathing my last breath,

I'll be saying to myself...

Is that all there is

Is that all there is

If that's all there is, my friends

Then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze

and have a ball

If that's all...

- I need to go.

- What?

Sorry, sorry.

Where are my shoes?

- Wait, just...

- Sorry.

Don't worry about it. Just...

I should go. Good-bye.

You coming back?

And if that mockingbird won't sing

Mama's gonna buy you

a diamond ring

And if that cart and bull fall down

You'll still be the sweetest

little baby in town

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

The cat says, "Meow."

The pig says, "Oink."

The cow says, "Moo."

The cow says, "Moo."

The cow says, "Moo."

The dog says, "Nine.

Nine, nine, nine, nine."

Hello?

Yes.

Two trains run through the forest.

Nine, nine, nine, nine, nine...

F***.

Jesus, you scared

the sh*t out of me.

What... I don't... I'm sorry.

Oh, no, I'm...

I'm fine. I'll be fine, yeah.

Where are your parents?

No, no, no, your mom and dad.

Where's your mom and dad?

I don't know what you're saying.

Look, hey, look,

I don't speak that,

so just go back

to wherever you came from.

You shouldn't be out here.

No, no, no. Go...
