BUT IT'S ALSO A SIMPLE FAC THAT IT MIGHT NOT.

RIGHT?

YOU SEEM TO REALLY WAN THIS JOB BACK.

SO DID YOU LOVE IT?

UM...DID I LOVE IT?

I WAS GOOD AT IT.

AND, YOU KNOW,

I WORE A SUIT.

EVERY DAY.

AH, MORE SUITS.

YOU WEAR A SUIT.

SO YOU DID IT FOR YOUR MOM?

MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU,

I SURE DID LIKE FEELING

SUCCESSFUL.

YEAH.

I LIKED KNOWING SHE WAS

PROUD OF ME, YOU KNOW?

YOU'RE DEFINITELY

NOT A SUIT GUY.

NO.

NO, NOT AT ALL.

SO?

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I DO LOTS OF STUFF.

BUT RIGHT NOW:

I'M VOLUNTEERING

FOR UNICEF'S

CLEAN WATER INITIATIVE.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

AND IT LETS ME TRAVEL.

I'M GOING TO

THE PHILIPPINES FROM HERE

WHEN THE STORM GETS THROUGH.

SO WHY DO YOU DO IT?

IT MAKES ME HAPPY.

YOU KNOW, I GUESS

AT THE END OF THE DAY,

KNOWING THAT I HAD JUS A TINY IMPAC ON SOMEBODY'S LIFE SOMEWHERE

IN THE WORLD,

AND IT BRINGS ME JOY.

RELOCATE US, IT SOUNDS LIKE.

THEY'RE WORKING OU THE LOGISTICS RIGHT NOW.

- MAYBE JUST ONE NIGHT.

IS BECAUSE I TEMPTED FATE,

I DON'T THINK FATE

WORKS THAT WAY.

THAT THE UNIVERSE HAS

SOMETHING AGAINST ME?

I HOPE THE UNIVERSE IS WORRIED

ABOUT BIGGER THINGS,
