Yeah. I'm...

'Cause I'm moving.

I'm moving

to Switzerland.

Switzerland?

Land of the cuckoo clock.

That's perfect.

I don't think it's funny that

I would move to Switzerland.

There's nothing funny

about that. People do it.

By all means, you move.

Please, just move.

I mean, go to Bum-F***,

China, if you like.

Well, I'm not gonna go there.

Right, well, wherever you decide

to go, just do it in a hurry.

And I'm gonna ask,

maybe, Olivetti to...

You know, rent to somebody less

musically inclined than you.

Oh, you can ask him now.

He's lying dead on the ground.

What?

Nothing.

All right, well, listen. You have

a great time in Sweden, all right?

Switzerland.

Same sh*t.

No, it's not the same sh*t.

It's like two

different shits, okay?

Well, look, make sure these

lights stay on, all right?

Oh!

Mr. Olivetti didn't look at all

like my mother when she passed.

My mother looked peaceful.

Like all her pain had

suddenly just vanished.

Before Mom died, she made Bernard

promise to take care of me.

The first thing he did was to

drop a bowling ball on my foot.

Bernard's ball broke

The nail on my big

toe never grew back.

And I lost all

my hair, forever.

I think he was

trying to protect me,

because we aren't just

brothers. We're best friends.

We used to go

everywhere together.

Until one day, when

things started to change.

Can I get this?

You want to become mentally

fit and physically strong.

Yeah, sure, pal.

I just wanna see what

this guy has to say.

That was when

he came into the picture.

Minding the...

Dr. Sage Mennox.

Think of your

brain as a muscle

that needs to be

toned and flexed.

Now, the same principle applies

to exercising your sanity.

Look at how

he works the room.

Using my proven methods,

you vastly reduce your

chance of a brain attack.

Achieving true Brain Brawn

is nothing less than the ultimate

Olympics of mental self-discovery.

He's good, isn't he?

Thank you. Thank you.

From that day, things were

never the same again.

He was always

searching for "the answer. "

You know, Dr. Mennox's books

say that my brain is clogged with

emotional cholesterol.

I need to exercise

stronger thoughts.

Yeah.

He said that the answer's

in the books anyway.

And they are best-sellers,

so, you know...

I think he was trying

to tell me something.

You know, this is funny.

He said that crazy people,

they don't look any

different than normal people.

You know, they don't

walk around on

the streets wearing their

pajamas.

They look like you and me.

And they're at our

job and in our home

and in our family.

I get these headaches.

Uh-huh.

And they just don't go away.

It's like, you know,
