"Conscious". Is it "sc" or "cs"?

Stop right there.

Come and give me a kiss, please.

I got a big lecture today.

- I'll be home in the morning. I love you.

- I love you, too, Dad.

All right.

Don't forget to return the movies.

- Movies?

- Mm-hm.

No, no, no. I can't.

Would you, um, do it if it was on that list?

- Of course I would.

- Give me your pen.

- Ah, ah. No, I don't have time.

- It's on your way.

- I can't be late for the ferry, so...

- What time do you have to leave the house?

- Eighteen after.

- Eighteen after is not a time.

- It's a symptom. It's like a twitch.

- Well, you used to find it adorable.

Yeah, well, I used to pound Jgermeister.

Anyway, you won't be late.

- Yes, I will.

- No, you won't.

- You didn't.

- I did.

- Oh, sh*t.

- What? I've given you an extra ten minutes.

No, you didn't. You set it the wrong way.

You've given me ten minutes less.

Oh, sh*t.

- I'm sure you'll be fine.

- Yeah.

Bye.

You forgot the movies.

- Hello?

- Hey, it's Buddy. Is Frank there?

- He just left.

- I might be late.

- So might he.

- Frank? I don't think that's possible.

Don't drag him into anything

unsavory tonight.

What do you consider unsavory?

Anything that might lead to a rash.

- What are you wearing?

- Buddy.

- Come on.

- I'm naked, Buddy.

Thank you.

We're okay.

We're okay. No, no, no.

Come on. No, no, no, you're kidding me.

Please, please, please. No, no.

Check the time. I'm right here, please.

Hey, congratulations.

You'll be the first one on the next boat.

God, come on. Look, sir, please,

I'm begging you right now.

There's plenty of room on the ferry.

Just let me drive it on.

Please. I beg you, I have a speech.

My wife, the movies... Aargh!

Next boat leaves in an hour.

This boat leaves at eight o'clock.

Oh, look at that, it's eight o'clock.

Next boat, pal.

Schedule to keep, you know.

The relationship between time and you...

... is always one of master and slave.

Ahem.

List-making.

It is your anchor,

your harbor in the storm of life.

Start each morning

with your wish for the day.

And then move right on

into your daily goal list.

And remember to keep them

in behavioral terms, and to be specific.

Why? Because a specific list...

...is a happy list.

And don't forget, it's chaos out there.

And we conquer that by taking control,

setting priorities.

Life cannot be based on whim.

Those who fail to control whim...

...are destined to be controlled by it.

Thank you.

Hey, back in the city.

- Good to see you, man.

- Yeah.

Excellent talk, by the way.

That was truly inspirational.

I saw you come in.

Yeah. My old man

wasn't through busting my ass...
