My name is Jack McCall.
If you can hear me,
what you're listening to
is not the sound of my voice.
It's the sound of my inner voice,
the one inside my head.
I'd like to talk to you, but I can't.
Because if I say
just one more sentence out loud,
I'll die.
Aaron, I have got
a very important assignment for you.
Go to Barneys and get me six dozen
No, I'm gonna wear 'em,
but you're gonna buy 'em.
Do I need six dozen pair
of cashmere socks? No, but listen.
Hey, "need" is a tricky word.
Think about it more like this,
"want" or "love" are better words.
Think about it.
Don't we do everything out of love?
How about this?
Do you want, need or love your job?
Well, I love the idea
that you need your job. Okay.
three Swatch watches.
Which witches watch
which watch switch...
Okay.
Daddy's gonna hold you
Baby, I don't know
if I can work with, "Whaah!"
Oh, look how happy he is
with his mommy.
- Yeah.
- Yes, he is. He's a mama's boy.
- No, he isn't.
- Yes.
There's nothing wrong with being
a mama's boy. I'm a mama's boy.
- Oh, my God!
- What?
Shaq snuck in the house
and shit in the baby's diaper!
Hey!
Excuse me, you think
maybe I could cut in front...
I will run you over dead
in the parking lot.
Dead. Dead. Dead.
Hello?
What? She's in labor?
Well, tell her to stop pushing!
Look, I can't miss
I only went out to get some coffee!
Go ahead.
Expectant father coming through!
I got a baby on the way! Thank you.
Thank you!
Congratulations, man! You're the man!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much.
Twins? It's twins!
I'm having twins. I'm having twins.
Thank you. It's on the house?
Thank you so much!
- Congratulations!
We live in a world
that's obsessive and controlling.
I think I care too much. I think
that's what you would say about me,
that I care too much.
I think that's what everybody would say
about me, that I care too much.
This coffee's incredible.
Do you ever stop to think about
what people are thinking about
when you're not in the room?
What do people think
when I'm not there?
That's the thought that I want to know.
What do people think
when I'm not there?
I know you think something
when I'm there,
but when I'm not there,
what are you thinking?
What are you thinking
when I'm not in the room?
That's the real thought. Or do you ever
wonder who's on line with you?
You could be on line with somebody.
I'm not talking about the computer.
I'm talking about the real line,
the real line,
the old-fashioned line with somebody
behind you, somebody in front of you.
That line is dangerous
'cause you don't know who that is.
Or an elevator!
You're in a elevator, door closed,
you're in the room with this person.
They could pull out a knife and
start doing all kinds of shit to you.
You get in elevators all the time.
Elevators are crazy.
Hey, what about restaurants?
You could be in a restaurant
sitting next to somebody who's a maniac
and they're right next to you in a chair,
and they're ordering like the same thing.
Look at you smiling and this person just,
you know, stabbed somebody in the ass
and now they sitting
next to the table next to you.
This could be happening all the time.
Jack! If I may...
Hey, Doc,
I think we're about out of time.
But I feel so much better.
Thank you so much.
You know, you're a genius.
Good morning, Mr. McCall.
I don't mean to be pushy
and I know you get hit up all the time.
