We do this by making ethical choices.

156
00:06:28,016 --> 00:06:29,240
We're kind to strangers.

157
00:06:29,241 --> 00:06:31,645
We're fair in our minds.
We say please and thank you.

158
00:06:31,686 --> 00:06:33,886
We don't kill things that
aren't trying to kill us.

You know, this is a good
topic for my podcast.

Julius and I were gonna do a podcast,

but I'm gonna do it in his memory.

I... I purchased all the equipment.

What'd you say in your
thank-you note to the Freemans?

170
00:06:54,841 --> 00:06:56,941
- What thank-you note?
- The thank-you note...

171
00:06:58,512 --> 00:07:00,646
You didn't write the
Freemans a thank-you note?

172
00:07:00,681 --> 00:07:02,814
No, all I did was... was thank him.

173
00:07:02,849 --> 00:07:03,836
I hugged him thank you in the field,

174
00:07:03,837 --> 00:07:05,720
and then dapped him
thank you at the lodge,

175
00:07:05,723 --> 00:07:07,418
and then I pounded him
thank you in the parking lot.

176
00:07:07,453 --> 00:07:09,854
The man was... was thanked.
It was a thorough thanking.

You don't know what you're talking about.

178

Yes, and he said, "You're welcome."

179
00:07:13,193 --> 00:07:14,659
Then he said, "The pleasure's all mine."

Then he said, "Don't mention it."

I said thank you, yeah,
and you were satisfied.

- Then why didn't you tell me that then?

190

you gave me the photo

or Roycroft or whatever
the fuck her name is...

that she doesn't need to work
on you, okay? You're perfect.

for you to go, then maybe you should go.

shrink because the judge said so.

Fine. Go. But if she's making you
think too much about something,

just stop thinking about
it, okay? Pray it off.

No, I need to know.

418
00:17:42,403 --> 00:17:45,203
For fuck... I spelled it like
you spell Diane. D-I-A-N-E.

419
00:17:45,238 --> 00:17:47,739
Shit! Shit, shit, shit, shit.

420
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:50,275
Will you please stop
saying shit? Shit is bad.

421
00:17:50,311 --> 00:17:53,678
It's D-I-H-A-N-E.

422
00:17:55,248 --> 00:17:56,447
That's "Dehiney."

Don't put the paper in my face.

I'm still in airplane mode.

425
00:18:00,020 --> 00:18:02,921
I knew that and I missed it
when I saw it in your note.

426
00:18:02,956 --> 00:18:04,989
Fucking rich people, they name
their kid Diane and they say,

427
00:18:05,025 --> 00:18:07,792
"You know what? We got to rich
this up. Let's add a H to it."

428
00:18:07,827 --> 00:18:10,795
Because I had to deal with
all your "get at me" shit.

429
00:18:10,830 --> 00:18:12,896
Okay, Missy, it's done, all right?

430
00:18:12,932 --> 00:18:15,165
Frankly, you add H to Diane,
you're looking for trouble.

431
00:18:15,201 --> 00:18:17,301
And anyway, things in
this world ain't perfect.

432
00:18:17,337 --> 00:18:18,602
It's the thought that counts.

433
00:18:18,638 --> 00:18:20,671
It is not the thought that counts.

434
00:18:20,707 --> 00:18:23,507
That is a well-known phrase
for a reason because it's true.

435
00:18:23,543 --> 00:18:27,311
The thought does not count in
matters of gratitude conveyance

436
00:18:27,346 --> 00:18:30,848
because the human species does
not have the ability to mind read.

437
00:18:30,883 --> 00:18:32,950
Chen is working on it. He's
got a lab in Eastern China.

438
00:18:32,985 --> 00:18:35,085
They can tell when monkeys
are about to jerk off.

439
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:38,521
There's an entire stationery
industry, floral industry,

440
00:18:38,557 --> 00:18:41,358
greeting card industry
that attests to the fact

441
00:18:41,393 --> 00:18:42,992
that the thought does not count.

442
00:18:43,027 --> 00:18:45,829
The thought is nothing. Nothing.

443
00:18:45,864 --> 00:18:47,870
Who... nobody sends
greeting cards anymore,

444
00:18:47,871 --> 00:18:49,060
 not even to their homies.

445
00:18:49,067 --> 00:18:51,267
And anyway, we both made the mistake.

446
00:18:51,302 --> 00:18:53,202
Which takes me to my third point.

447
00:18:53,238 --> 00:18:56,172
We're doomed as a power
couple. We don't communicate.

448
00:18:56,207 --> 00:18:59,041
You know what? When you say
communicate, you mean you tell me

449
00:18:59,077 --> 00:19:01,978
what to do and I do it and you
tell me what to say and I say it.

450
00:19:02,013 --> 00:19:04,513
That is not communicating.
That is "ventriloquating."

451
00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:06,682
Which you can't say
because it isn't a word

452
00:19:06,717 --> 00:19:08,450
and you can't write because it has a Q.

453
00:19:08,486 --> 00:19:10,119
Okay, well, I'm communicating to you

454
00:19:10,154 --> 00:19:12,121
that I no longer want to
communicate about this anymore.

455
00:19:12,156 --> 00:19:13,322
<i>Good night.</i>

456
00:19:15,092 --> 00:19:18,727
If a thing is worth doing,
it is worth doing right.

457
00:19:18,763 --> 00:19:21,463
Missy, I never thought it was worth doing.

458
00:19:21,499 --> 00:19:23,699
We're about to get divorced over a typo.

459
00:19:23,734 --> 00:19:26,134
We'll rewrite the note,
drive it to their house,

460
00:19:26,169 --> 00:19:28,303
intercept the mailman,
then make the switch.

461
00:19:28,338 --> 00:19:30,972
If by we, you mean you,
good luck and don't get shot.

462
00:19:31,008 --> 00:19:32,640
Hopefully they don't notice
the uncancelled stamp.
