- Benny:
The lights are on.

- Yeah.

Why are you taking pictures

with this light thing?

- What? With the flash?

- Uh-huh.

- Paul:
Because...

- Nobody knows why

but sometimes when you

take a picture with a flash

you can see things.

- Benny:
What things?

- Ellen:
Just things.

You heard it, kid. "Things."

Ellen:
Come on, Benny!

Let's go and do the next room.

Come on.

You can even take a picture.

What are these?

Paul:

Those are feet-slicing laser beams.

- I don't believe you.

- Ellen:
Yeah well, you're right,

because they're motion sensors.

They can tell when people

are moving around.

Do you want to see?

Wait there.

So... ah!

It's changed, didn't it?

Benny:
Yes.

We need to take a few pictures.

It'll just take a minute.

- It's all my dad's fault.

- Ellen:
What?

I'm pretty sure I wasn't talking to you.

She hates me.

She's a teenager, Mr. White.

You shouldn't let her actions

affect you so much.

You're doing just fine.

The thing is that I was on a trip

the night that Cynthia--

I just wasn't home, you know?

So Caitlin...

blames me for everything.

She says that if I was--

stayed with her that night,

that if I had stayed

with her that maybe there...

that maybe she'd still...

maybe she'd...

Jesus Christ.

Did Caitlin see her mother die?

No.

No, God no. No.

She was with me when it happened.

Both my kids were.

Um...

God. I mean thank God that

nobody saw her die 'cause it was a...

it was terrible car crash.

There's no point in

over thinking these things.

What really matters--

and believe me when I tell you

it's of extreme importance--

it's what you do now,

how you handle the situation.

How do I talk to my daughter?

How?

I mean, I-- I--

I have no idea what to say to her.

I'm doing everything I can.

I'm trying.

But I just...

I don't know how

to communicate to her,

you know?

Cynthia was the one

that she really listened to.

She was the one that made

things work around here.

I just...

How do you talk to a teenage girl?

I don't know.

Helzer:

How did your wife do it?

Sometimes I like to think

that she's here,

that she knows

that I need her help.

Man on TV:
Lloyd & Tuess,

which is a very well-known,

prestigious accounting firm,

has a very good piece--

by the way,

which you can get free.

It's 1 00 pages long.

Woman:
If you can find somebody

to take it off your hands,

you'll be doing well

if you get 50 on the dollar.

Man:

Let us give you the number anyway.

- Man #2:
Okay. Right.

- It's 800-35--

Hey, thanks, man.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- What'd you get me?

- I got it.

Okay? Don't look at me

like I don't get you what you want.

Man:
Now I need to get out of it.

It's almost like a time-share...
