- Yes, you are.

I know you, Justin.

I've been watching you

your whole life.

You have?

Justin.

Perry.

You found me.

Yeah, in the phone book.

To what do I deserve this honour?

I'm leaving.

- New York.

- Big city.

- What happened?

- What do you mean?

This place,

it looks a little depressing.

I don't know, I...

I guess I stopped trying

to be anything.

I accepted myself

and all my human disorder.

You might wanna do the same.

Remember when you were

Medically, psychologically...

...there's nothing really

wrong with thumbsucking.

- I don't think I can agree with that.

- No, really.

Look, Justin...

...there was nothing wrong with you.

It felt like everything

was wrong with me.

That's because we all

want to be problemless.

To fix ourselves. We look for some

magic solution to make us all better.

But none of us really know

what we're doing.

And why is that so bad?

That's all we humans can do.

Guess.

Try.

Hope.

Justin, I just pray

you don't fool yourself...

...into thinking

you've got the answer.

Because that's bullshit.

The trick...

...is living without an answer.

I think.

I think.

There is new evidence indicating

that the North Koreans have...

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Justin.

Hi.
