The Adjuster Page #3

after a few applications.

Would they spread?

It's difficult to say.

I touch them all day,

I've never had one.

I suppose i'm immune.

Warts are very mysterious.

What happens if

you just leave them?

They grow.

They may spread.

I've had people in here

With warts covering

their entire sole.

It can get complicated.

Do you recognize me?

Of course.

Ah...

Did that hurt?

These were taken by a friend.

This is your bedroom?

Yeah.

These don't show

Too much of the background.

How are you two holding up?

All right.

Is this okay?

It's important to be staying

Where you feel comfortable.

Because you may not feel it,

But you're in a state of shock.

I feel it.

To noah!

For the guidance

And tremendous care

He's given us

In this time of need.

To noah!

It doesn't always

work this way.

What do you mean?

That the claim comes through.

Especially in a situation

As complicated as yours.

It did and we're celebrating!

Sometimes, people are...

Are surprised by their policies.

They're not covered

for what they thought.

I'm stuck in the middle.

I didn't sell them

the insurance,

I'm just there

when they need it...

To adjust the claim.

What are you saying, noah?

I'm saying that sometimes i feel

that i come off as the bad guy

Because some person...

The person who sold you

the policy jerked you around!

I'm just there

To clean up the mess.

You cleaned up the mess

in our case?

Yes, i cleaned it up.

Noah...

You can't go around carrying

The weight of the world

On your shoulders!

It's just a job!

These people's lives...

People will always

Have their lives!

Come on, boys...

We're supposed

to be celebrating!

Noah, come on...

Come on.

All right...

My turn to make a toast.

To tim and lorraine...

For taking on a great policy.

And for deserving exactly

what you were covered for.

Yes!

It's so warm...

Oh! Oh!

Come on!

Hum!

It's so warm... so warm!

Hum!

Ooh!

You seem to be

getting the wrong idea.

I'm not upset.

Not at all.

In fact, i'm thanking you.

For what?

For bringing this into the open.

You see, when i was first

appointed to this job,

I used to think i was alone.

Alone?

In what?

In feeling, on occasion...

Aroused by some of the materials

I was expected to classify.

It used to disturb me.

When tyler told me about

What he saw you doing,

I suddenly felt liberated.

What you acknowledged

Was healthy...

Of course, it's

exciting material!

If our job is to make sure

That no one else sees it,

We might as well preserve

it for our own pleasure.

I'm not doing it for myself.

Even for your husband,

For his friends,

For your friends...

That's how i'd like you

to consider me...

As a friend.

It's for my sister.

What do you mean?

She likes to know what i do.

She always has.

She's my sister.

When i was at school, she always

wanted to know what i learned.

I'd tell her.

That way, we'd

learn it together.

She didn't go to school.

She's older than me.

She had to stay home.

That's how things are...

Where i'm from.

She... watches your tapes?

You see, it's very strange

What we do here.

Very...

Difficult to explain.

Since i started taping, she

can actually see what we cut,

What we don't allow

other people to watch.

So, when i take

these tapes home

And she watches the decisions

i am making, she's very proud.

We all have impulses,

just admit that.

To you?

Yes.

Why?

Hi, louise.

Night shift?

You're working late tonight too?

Work never stops.

You know, mister render,

i hear them talking about you.

Who?

The people here.

They think you're an angel.

I do the best i can.

But you really

spend time with them.

You don't have to

visit at all hours...

These people are

in a state of shock.

Their whole lives

have been uprooted.

Some of them don't

even fully realize

The extent of what's

happened to them

And they...

They need all the support

That we can give them.

You're wonderful, mister render.

Don't you think?

At the motel,

We'll get a discount.

They'll still pay

for two rooms.

If we stay in one, we'll save

a couple of hundred a day.

That's above and beyond the fee.

I don't like the idea.

What don't you like?

Giving our house to strangers.

But they're paying for it.

People dream about an

opportunity like this, you know?

I was afraid you wouldn't be in.

I'm sorry, did i wake you?

No, it's okay.

I'll come back...

No, come in.

Sure?

- Yes!

You want some coffee?

Sure.

Good morning.

What are you doing?

I do a bit of photography...

It was such a nice image,

You lying there...

I hope you don't mind.

I can make you

copies, if you like.

What's going on?

You have a very

beautiful family.

Have you made

Your decision yet?

If you could sign as well...

There is one more favor

That we have to ask:

If we could have

access to the house

As soon as possible...

When?

This afternoon.

That should be okay

No, we won't be here.

Someone will open the door?

Hera's sister.

It's special to have a sister.

Don't you have a sister?

It's very special.

A discount?

Maybe that's

too much to ask, but...

You realize how much business

You've given us?

Quite a bit?

More than quite a bit.

You're the only reason

this place stays open.

You're in a great location.

I like your staff.

And they like you.

They love you.

We love you.

Have you seen these?

We put them on our beds.

Have you read it?

Yeah.

Why don't you read it for me?

"We hope that god will

grant you peace and rest

"While you're under our roof.

"May this room be

your second home.

"May those you love be near you

in thoughts and dreams...

Go on.

"May the business that

brought you our way prosper.

"May every call you make

add to your joy.

"When you leave,

"May your journey be safe...

"For we are all travelers.

"May our motel be

pleasant for you,

"Profitable for society...

"Helpful for those you meet,

And a joy to those

who know and love you best."

I just try to do my job.

You've done it well.

Thank you.

It's time we pay you back.

You've got a room.

Consider it a gift.

Thank you, that's very kind.

Noah...

You've looked after

very unhappy people

Whose lives have been

turned upside down.

In the process,

you've looked after us.

It's our turn.

We're going to look after you.

Why do we have

to move everything?

Why not?

We'll only be there a week.

You never know.

You never know what?

What might happen.

What could happen?

Who knows?

That's what makes

these things so exciting.

Why would you want

to involve them?

They make a nice background.

A nice background...

Mimi, it's something

That i would like.

I thought of the reason

why people sing in showers.

It's got something to do

with cleaning.

The joy of washing things away.

What do you mean?

Dirt...

Hair...

Dead skin...

It makes me happy

just to think about it.

They'll be picked up

and brought back.

What's bothering you?

I think it'll be

a great experience.

I almost wish they'd ask me.
