"I went to the woods
"because I wished to
live deliberately,
"and see if I could learn
what it had to teach,
"and not, when I came to die,
discovered that I had not lived."
That's Henry David Thoreau in 1854.
And it made sense to
me 150 years later.
So when you were still
in your mama's belly,
we sold our company,
left our old friends,
and moved here to
Northern California.
You see, I knew the great
collapse was coming.
Everyone says that now, but I knew.
It didn't take much
to tear us apart.
Just a quick ripping away of the
things we'd come to depend on.
Our world was like a
bubble waiting to pop.
And off you go.
There you go.
I had a rough day,
but that's life
It happens
Woke up on the dark
side of my mattress
I guess I forgot
to set my clock
Overslept, almost lost the job
Then to top it off,
I'm kind of hungry
Pick a good one for tonight, okay?
It's in my wallet but my
wallet ain't in my pocket
Great choice, Hannah-bear.
Show your mama.
And they don't want
me in a bad mood
Nice one.
Lily, do you think we
have enough basil inside?
I don't know.
Do you want to check?
I am working on something
important right now.
And the manager
really ain't sh*t
But I can't quit, so I'm
hiding in the basement
Holding onto to my face
like f*** this place
Every day can't be the best day
Do what you can right
now, don't hesitate
That's why we try to
make love and get paid
Take the bad with the good...
So I just want to know how
awkward it's going to be.
Has he already apologized
in the e-mail?
James doesn't apologize.
Then why are we going?
Well, he might take
some responsibility.
the words "I'm sorry."
Baby, baby, not when
you're driving.
"Goodbye, world"?
Did you just text me?
Honey, you're holding my phone.
Oh, yeah. Weird.
Hey, what are you doing?
We are on vacation, remember?
We agreed...
we're only talking to each other.
I'mma be so cool
But for now I got cheap
shoes, so I keep losing
Girls give no love
to a poor man
It's a prison, the
clock is warden
And it won't get no
better when I get home
The system tells you three lies.
It tells you that you're free.
You're not.
It tells you that you can change
it from within. You can't.
And if you try to change
it from the outside,
it tells the rest of the world
you're a violent criminal.
The system sent me to
jail for five years
for burning down a factory farm
that was under construction.
Real change isn't
pretty, isn't safe.
But revolution is our
moral obligation,
and the only real expression
of freedom that we have left.
What good is freedom
if you're in jail?
What good is it being out
of jail if you're not free?
Didn't you miss having sex?
Not as much as I miss good coffee.
The better half is
talking about separate
You wish you could take
it back to yesterday
You not alone,
it's hard as hell
But don't waste no time
feeling sorry for self
We'll be right here with
you through your war
Cause you're the one...
Laura Sheppard is not a
name we can have associated
with a non-profit
donor-supported organization.
I can be very effective
behind the scenes.
The right people still
take my phone calls.
Look...
your rsum is very,
very impressive.
There are many fields
where your reputation
will not be a handicap for you.
You could make
substantially more money
in the private sector.
Which is exactly the
reason you should hire me.
I'm here because I believe
it's worth fighting for.
"It"?
Democracy.
I'm sorry.
You know, I find it really funny
that your program director
cheated on his wife
with the teenage babysitter,
yet I'm the one who's unhireable.
He didn't get caught
on camera, honey.
It was a disaster.
What? What do you mean?
Yeah, I know Lev Berkowitz.
- The text message
- "Goodbye, world"
has been received by over
a million cell phones.
And many of those phones
have actually shut down
because of the sheer number of
messages they're receiving.
a mystery at this point,
but as you can imagine
authorities now
are looking into it,
hopefully trying to pinpoint
exactly where it's coming from.
When we come back we'll
have our own tech experts
light on the mystery.
Also, we'll have more on
the controversial decision
by the Supreme Court concerning
life sentences for minors.
All of that, plus news updates,
and your weather and
sports when we come back.
Now we're receiving
unconfirmed reports
large-scale cyber attack.
I'm told it's suspected
of being connected
to that "Goodbye, world" text.
There have been disruptions
in basic utility service
around the country in some
including New York,
Chicago, Boston and...
Well, my name, Zaakir,
I'm versatile
And plus I never eat
the cow if ain't Halal
While you rap or bit our
styles in the third degree
Can you turn that down a bit?!
What?
Showcase with the voice
that's oh, so fresh
And I can still serve a
brother in a minute or less
Could you turn it down?
Huh?
Save my breath
And let my nigga Mark
7even just do the rest
Do the rest...
So do you want to bring
it up or should I?
Either way, but I think it would
help if you apologized first.
And what exactly do you
think I should say?
Uh, I don't know.
How about, "Hey, Nick,
sorry I froze you out of that
company you founded with Lily."
That wasn't a very
friendly thing to do.
He wanted to sell our
user's private information
without their...
I know. Trust me, I know.
I'm just saying this
would go a lot better
if we play nice tonight.
We have all weekend to
talk about the house.
Benji.
Yeah?
You forgot something.
Hey, hey!
Jesus. You all right?
Yeah.
Someone just blew up
a truck on the 405.
No sh*t. Really?
Yeah. People are freaking out.
This pump's dead.
Nick?
Over here.
The pump's dead.
We should go.
No, no, no, no.
Come here. Come here,
you got to see this.
We're already late.
- No, no, no, no. Quick.
- Real quick. Come on.
Come on.
You're going to love it.
I can't believe they're
still doing this.
What? Selling vegetables?
This.
Just literally a box of
cash sitting on a table
by the side of the road.
So?
So, what's to stop
me from taking it?
The Ten Commandments.
I mean in the real world.
Just kidding.
No, no, no. Thou shall not
turn on their cell phone.
Well, you need to call them
to let them know
we're running late.
There's no service here, is there?
Hey, do you have any cash?
We should bring cucumber.
Lily loves cucumbers.
Well, then I'm sure she has some.
Let's go.
You stole that?
I left my sunglasses.
That's a $200 cucumber.
It'll be worth it, I promise.
Hope so, because it certainly
seems important to you
to impress your ex-girlfriend.
It's not like that.
It's an ice-breaker.
She has a really immature
sense of humour, trust me.
Ladies and gentlemen, this
