The winter months
Were so much fun
For April's fool
From snowball fights
To skating on
A frozen pool
[RAIN PATTERING]
Her nose so cold and wet
I like to bow...

Mmm.
Mmm.
That looks good.
It's a hot dog, yeah?
Yeah.
[LAUGHING]
Man, I can't even...
Can't even see the hot dog
in that hot dog, right?

[CLEARS THROAT]
Hey.
You know what
you want, hon?
Um. Almost.
Uh...
It's been a while.
Do you remember me?
Well, I get a lot of people
in here, so...
Right. Right.
You look a little thinner
a couple of years ago?
I kinda remember
a couple coming in here a lot.
That was, um...
That was my fiance.
We used to...
I don't think
I've gained weight, though.
WAITRESS:
Maybe it
was someone else.
[LAUGHING] My memory's
shot to shit, hon.
[LAUGHING WHEEZILY]
Has it really been
that long?
So are you waiting
for someone, or...?
No, it's just me.
MAN 1 [ON TV]:
...when you
look down, and you realize
there's no phone
in your pocket.
MAN 2 [ON TV]:
That happens all the time.
MAN 1:
Right? Now, did you know
that sensation
actually has a name?
Scientists call it
phantom vibration.
You feel like
your phone is vibrating,
but it's actually not.
It's just your body...
[ADS POPPING]
MAN 2:
It's crazy. I didn't
know there was a name for that.
MAN 1:
Well, not only
is there a name...

Are you
searching for something?
Is baggage

how much it costs.

Now, that's
what I like to see!
Some of that good
St. Patrick's Day spirit!
[ELEVATOR DINGS,

[ELEVATOR DOORS CLOSE]
Okay, everybody. Who's ready
to change their lives today?
MAN:
Good, because
if you're not ready,
there's the door.
Go on, you can leave
if you like.
Okay.
Now, you've all heard
of the lemon-cleanse diet.
It was designed back
in the 1980s to help the body
rid itself
of negative toxins.
Those... Those things
that prevent
the body
from doing its job.
It originated with Ken Roberts
and his best-selling book,
The Purification
of the Lemon Cleanser.
MAN:
The lemon cleanser has caught
on like wildfire in recent years.
In fact, some of your favorite
celebrities have done it.
But Mr. Roberts
felt he could do better.
Now I want you all
to close your eyes and relax.
Think about that pain
you felt.
That deep pain
that prevents you
from getting ahead in life.
WOMAN:
We need to know that pain.
MAN:
Keep thinking.
WOMAN:
Keep thinking.
MAN:
Keep thinking.
[BREATHING DEEPLY]
WOMAN:
And open.
[EXHALES HEAVILY]
Now...
who wants to share
their pain first?
Yes, thank you.
One sec, here we go.
WOMAN:
Oh, uh...
Mr. Roberts just wants to get
a good look at you.
Heh, heh.
Uh. So, uh, this, uh,
one time, I...
Uh, posted on Facebook
