- Back up just a little bit more.

No.

- "No man! No man! ..."

Okay.

If the mole hill won't come to Terrence,

Terrence will come to the mole hill.

What is your name?

- Carl.

Let me guess, Carl. Someone

talked you into coming here, didn't they?

Yes

- 'Yes!'

And you're not sure about this, are you?

No.

- "No, man! No man! ..."

You are dead, Carl.

You say no to life

and therefore you are not living.

You make up excuses

to the people around you

and to yourself.

You are stuck in the same deadend job.

You do not have a girlfriend.

You don't have anything close to a girlfriend.

And you lost the love of your life because

she couldn't be with someone who didn't live theirs.

(silently mouths) Wow.

And on most nights you are so bored

and filled with ennui

you can't even sumon the

enthusiasm necessary to masterbate.

Am I right, Carl?

I have some trouble.

We can make a covenent, Carl.

Do you want to make a covenent?

Um..

The word is' yes', Carl.

- "Yes!" "Yes! Yes!"

Once you leave this building...

every time an opportunity presents itself

No matter what it is,

you will say:
'Yes'.

"Yes! Yes! ..."

What if I say the other word?

You will be a promise to yourself.

When you break a promise to yourself

things can get a little dicy.

What do you say, Carl?

Are you ready to make a covenent?

Yes

- "Yes! Yes!..."

Again.

-Yes.

Say it again.

- "Yes!"

Make me believe it!

- Yes! Yes! Yes!.

"YES!"

Hey, there he is.

- Hey, that was really wonderful.

Thank you.

- That was pretty powerful stuff, huh?

Good to have you with us.

So, are you going to do it?

- I do not know. Maybe.

This is weird. I didn't realize we just

stepped out of a 'Maybe' seminar.

Hey, that's a nice car.

Could you drive me to to Elysian Park?

Oh, uh...

Yeah, sure he can.

Right, Carl?

Yeah, why not.

Yes!

You won't regret this, Carl.

Can I use your phone?

- Come on, man.

Keep going or this will do?

Does it really matter?

Hold on a second

I can't hear myself think.

Just a little further.

Just right up the hill there.

Go ahead.

I'm just right over here.

Okay, yeah.

What? Hello?

Aw sh*t, man. Your battery is dead.

Aw, great.

Thanks.

Gracias amigo. It was real nice of you

to give me a ride. Most people just say no.

Of course i have been having a lot

of luck lately outside of that hotel.

No problem. Have a good night.

Can I borrow a couple bucks?

Ok.

I came this far.

Yes, you can.

You havea whole lot there.

Can I have it all?

Sure.

All yours.

God bless you man.

Come on, now.

Come on.

Perfect.
