IT'S EMERGEN-C.

AND CARBOHYDRATES YOU NEED,
IN CASE YOU FEEL
A LITTLE HUNGRY.
AND HERE'S A LADY VITAPAK...
WHICH WILL PROVIDE ALL
THE SUPPLEMENTS YOU NEED
FOR AN ACTIVE DAY.
Esther, thinking:
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY,
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN
OUT OF HAND.
I DON'T KNOW HOW.
I TRIED TO DO THINGS
RIGHT, BUT...
MAYBE THAT'S
THE PROBLEM.
MAYBE THERE IS NO
RIGHT OR WRONG.
WE'RE RULED BY CHAOS.
THAT WOULD MAKE:
MORE SENSE.
THAT THERE ARE NO REWARDS,
NO PUNISHMENTS.
LIFE ISN'T A SERIES
OF RESULTS:
OF THINGS DONE:
RIGHT OR WRONG.
IT'S ALL JUST RANDOM.
THOSE ARE THE RULES.
THERE ARE NO RULES.
OF COURSE:
THERE'S RULES.
IF THERE WEREN'T,
NONE OF US:
COULD WIN.
WHO'D PLAY IF
THEY COULDN'T WIN?
HELLO?
LOOK WHERE YOU'RE A RIGHT NOW.
LOOK WHERE YOU'RE A RIGHT NOW.
ESTHER...
ARE YOU GONNA PLAY?
ARE YOU GONNA PLAY?
I SPY...
WITH MY LITTLE EYE...
[THINKING]
A LIE.
[THINKING]
A LIE.
HOW'S THAT SHIRT FIT? OK?
YES.
I THOUGHT IT WOULD.
YOU PUKED ALL OVER YOURS,
AND I FIGURED:
YOU WOULDN'T...
WANT TO SLEEP IN IT.
I'LL MAKE YOU
A BIG BREAKFAST.
I'LL MAKE YOU
A BIG BREAKFAST.
Woman:
YOU KNOWWHAT WE NEED?
MASSAGE GUYS:
TO GIVE US MASSAGES
ON OUR NECKS.
OUR HAIR.
OR SOMEONE TO SHAMPOO
OUR HAIR.
DON'T YOU PEOPLE PROVIDE
EXTENSION CORDS?
NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
NOT THAT YOU KNOW OF.
NOT THAT YOU KNOW OF.
Jim:
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
THEY CAN'T EVEN GET ME
AN EXTENSION CORD.
JIM, I'M FINE.
YOU ARE NOW,
BUT BELIEVE ME,
THIS IS GONNA HELP,
BECAUSE WHEN YOUR BACK
SEIZES UP, IT'S ALL OVER.
