Probably not if you really
So that's...
so... so...
uh... so that's...
that's it?
Come and visit me
sometime, if you want.
and what it means.
Teen sexual experimentation
in these programs...
Well, uh... uh...
today was not my day.
Okay?
But... but, uh...
but... but, uh...
some... someday will be.
And... and on... on that day,
you... you will be
sitting at home alone.
At home.
And you'll... you'll
think to yourself...
when you're alone
that... that... that...
I knew him when.
Him being me.
Anarchy is not only the best system
in which to encourage adult maturation,
it is also the best system in which
to encourage sexual liberation.
Don't you dare go thinking
this was easy for me or simple!
If you think my feelings
on the matter were clear,
then you'd be underestimating
my complexity.
And while I see that you
don't recognize this now,
you actually have me
to thank...
in part, modesty
forces me to acknowledge,
but in large part... for your newfound
zest of competition and gamesmanship.
That was very clever
of you, to find Ben.
Surprisingly clever
and very painful.
Which means that I upped
your game, little man.
You're welcome!
Liberation breeds liberation, i. e.
Sexual freedom
inspires political freedom.
At the heart of all liberty
is the liberty to engage...
Sir?
I will have one of...
I'll have one of the...
I'll have
a slice of your...
the... of...
one of your...
one of your...
I'll have a slice
of the... of the...
the... the...
one of... what...
I mean, you can
imagine it's not fish
because you don't
have any fish here.
At least I hope not.
It's good. Um...
but I'll have a slice
of the... of your...
one of your... um,
slices of the... the...
the... the... the pizza.
You can pay me
when you're through.
You know, why don't
I make it not just...
not... not just...
not... not one...
not one slice, but, uh,
I'll have... I'll have...
not one.
Why don't you just
take all three?
Otherwise they're
getting trashed.
Yes!
Thank you.
Thanks.
Eventually,
all of this would pass.
And the memory of it
would give way to embellishment
and fantasy
and outright distortion
until it was hard
for Hal Hefner to remember
what he was
really like back then.
When he still carried
in his head the sound of
the voice that could
speak its heart,
the voice he used
to wish he had,
until the day he stopped wishing
and just started
talking as he was.
You okay?
Yeah, I'm okay.
But, uh, listen...
what do you...
what do you...
I mean, what are
your thoughts on...
like on... on...
on love?
Oh, man, it's so late, Hal.
I, um...
I couldn't find
the... the off-ramp.
And I ended up
circling back three times.
And, uh...
I don't even know if I know
how to get you back to Plainsboro.
You know,
it shouldn't be...
shouldn't... it really
shouldn't be like rocket,
uh... shouldn't
be rocket, um...
Sometimes, I don't know,
I guess I just
wonder when
it all starts
to make sense, you know?
All what?
All this.
You know, everything.
Oh.
Well, I guess
there comes a point,
you see, when you
reach a certain age
and you're in Jersey,
or someplace just like it,
and...
you stop trying
to figure it all out.
You just...
are glad
for what you have.
Oh.
And that...
that... that...
that just, like, happens
for everyone?
Yeah. Pretty much.
But you let me know if it
turns out different for you.
I'll do that.
I'll find...
a... a way... a g...
some good way
of letting you know
how it all works out.
