but we're not anymore.

The president's in town.

You're right.

I forgot. I though I've

seen him when I ran out of the park.

There's an entourage of limousines

going down 5th with a motorcycle escort.

I thought all these limos are for the president,

I can understand, but it was for somebody famous's funeral.

We die everyday.

What do we do about this?

Let it express itself.

What? Do nothing?

Let it express itself.

You can stand up now.

So, look, we have two rumors

working on our favor.

First, there's the bankruptcies

for six straight months.

More each month, more on the way.

Large Chinese corporations.

This is good.

The yuan will drop.

This is loss of faith.

It will force the yuan to drop.

Dollar will settle up.

The yuan will drop. Where's Chin?

Working on visual patterns.

This thing doesn't chart.

It charts.

It doesn't chart the way

you chart technology stocks

you can find real patterns there,

locate predicting components, this is different.

We're teaching him to see.

You should do the seeing,

you're the seer.

What is he? He's a kid.

He's got a streak in his hair, he's got the earing...

He doesn't have the earing.

If he was any dreamy,

we'd have to put him on life support.

What's the second rumor?

There's a rumor, it seems,

involving the Finance minister

some kind of scandal

about a misconstrued comment

He made a comment about the economy

that may have been misconstrued.

The whole country is now analyzing

the grammar and syntax of this comment.

Or it wasn't even what he said,

it was when he paused.

They're trying to construe

the meaning of the pause.

It may be deeper

even than grammar.

He may be breathing.

So the whole economy convulses

because the man took a breath.

You gripped the water bottle.

Yes, it's that soft type plastic.

You grip it.

You choke it.

It's a matter of fact thing.

It's sexual tension.

It's every day

nervousness in a life.

It's sexual tension.

Days like these...

What?

That whole sad business of

Judeo-Christian jogging. You were not born to run.

I look at you. I know what you are.

Your sloppy body, smelly and wet

a woman who was born to stay strapped in a

chair, while a man tells her how much she excites him.

How come we've never

spend this kind of time together?

Your prostate is asymmetrical.

Those two, they're ours?

I felt the need

imperative, that we reroute.

The situation is what?

This.

Water main break, we have flood

conditions ahead. State of chaos.

This. The question of the president

and his whereabouts. He is fluid. He is moving.

Wherever he goes, our satellite receiver reports

a ripple effect in the traffic that causes mass paralysis.
