-Think I should get it?

-Yeah.

Thanks. I never would have seen it.

There's just so much stuff here.

-Pay me back with a coffee?

-A coffee?

-Have a coffee with me.

-I've gotta get back to work.

How about dinner?

I'm--

I'm married.

Oh, well. Lucky man.

No.

-Oh, hi. How are you today?

-Hi. Fine, thanks.

I'm looking for this product.

I think I saw it in a magazine.

I think they said it was for lines,

like Rsolution D-Contraxol?

-Oh, yes, our Rsolution.

-Oh, yeah, maybe. I think.

They said you were

giving out samples.

-Yeah, we are. Would you like one?

-Yeah. Sure.

Well, you use this at night.

And you'll see

that the results are amazing.

Really?

-That's great. Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Now, you know, your oily face

could really do with some Clarifiance.

-Hi. Can I help you with something?

-I think so.

I'm looking for this lotion.

I saw it in a magazine.

-I can't remember the name.

-Rsolution?

Maybe. I think so.

Anyway, they said

you were giving out samples.

Is that it?

Great. Thank you.

You know what? I was--

Could I get one for my girlfriend?

-She had asked--

-Not a chance.

-Hi.

-Hi. You're early.

I had to get away

from my stupid husband.

See? This is my girlfriend.

Give her a sample.

-Thanks.

-You're welcome.

-Is this actually for me?

-Give it to me.

I just think it's dangerous.

I mean, kids get paralyzed

falling off them.

-You put a net around it.

-I think we should just get rid of it.

I think the maid would take it.

But then her kids

would get paralyzed.

Oh, yeah. Right.

I'm worried about Richard.

He doesn't play with balls.

What do you mean?

Well, like at the park,

he has no interest in them.

Well, you know,

he probably does other things.

He's probably just playing with

the other boys that don't like balls.

Exactly.

Little gay boys.

Would it bother you if he was gay?

No, you know,

I just don't want him to have any pain.

Well, everyone has pain.

Well, then, extra gay pain.

-That's not funny.

-Oh, come on.

-No, it's not.

-Come on.

Hi, this is Olivia. I'm not home.

Leave me a message.

Honey, hi. It's Christine.

Listen, I just recommended you

to this sort of friend of mine...

...looking for someone

to clean her house.

She's very rich and very picky...

...but I think she'll pay

a lot of money.

So if Melanie Charney calls,

that's her. Bye.

And all the thoughts of the day...

...are going up, up, up

and out the top of your head.

And everything is white and calm...

...easy and sleepy.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

Here's Ralphy.

Don't turn off the light.

-I really want another kid.

-No way.

-Why not?

-I don't know, because I'm 100.

You are not 100. And I'm sure
