When A Man Falls In The Forest Page #2

---

Hey, you work here

all night or...

Yeah.

Yeah, every day, huh?

Yeah, just Sunday

to Friday.

Man, I don't know--

I don't know how you do it.

I mean, I--I don't think

I could do that,

Stay up all night

and everything.

You get used to it.

Yeah?

Yeah, I guess it's just like,

you know, anything else, huh?

Now, what does that do

for, you know, like--

you know, with your wife--

I mean--

you know, it seems

like everybody just--

Bill, you all right?

Bill.

I just have to--

are you--

something wr--

did I s--

Um...

Okay.

Could you...

Hey, listen, if I said something

to upset you or something,

I just, you know...

Oh, I'm gonna get this.

Have a good weekend,

all right?

Yes, yes.

Why are you

always nagging me?

You come home.

You nag, you nag, you nag.

I'm not nagging.

Do you know how hard I work,

and I've got to put up

with this?

What kind of father are you?

Look at you.

# When I go, #

# a sky of blue,

a pale breeze, #

# as if god knew permanence #

# has graced this thought. #

# A silent prayer, #

# an open wound,

a melody. #

# That I renew

with who I am #

# and who I was then. #

# I am true... #

# as I am born in you. #

I hate you!

# and you are all alone. #

Sadie, shut up!

# and you are more than now. #

# In love again

with the girl. #

# A smile, I'll feign. #

Are you okay?

You say something?

Are you okay?

Your eye looks bruised.

No, I'm fine.

I heard you guys

fighting before.

Oh, that's nothing.

I'm sorry

if we're being too loud.

No. No, it's fine.

Yeah, because

you're so quiet,

and I hardly ever see you

coming or going.

I didn't even know

you exist.

Thank you.

Well, it was nice

meeting you.

Thank you.

# To a man going up suddenly #

# whose life is touched #

# by a ray of happiness. #

# Can you guess? #

# There's no way out

but to climb halfway in. #

# The other half

is left to rot in the sun. #

# I am true, #

# as I am born in you. #

# And you are all alone. #

# And we are more than now. #

# Yes, we are more than now. #

# We are more than now. #

The average person

sleeps for 20 years

over the course of a lifetime.

Six of those years

are spent dreaming.

The scientific term

for being aware

that you are dreaming

is lucid dreaming.

Once you become lucid,

it is possible

to actively control your dreams.

Some people

can naturally do this.

For others,

it must be learned.

Small windows of time exist

during the ritual of sleep

when it is possible

to begin lucid dreaming.

But it can become a door

to another world

where you have

complete control,

a world

where your wildest fantasies

can come true.

Karen?

Karen?

Hello.

Hey.

I didn't know

you were gonna be here.

Well, somebody

has to get groceries.

No, I know, but I didn't know

where you'd gone.

You didn't leave a note or...

Can I look at what you got,

because we probably shouldn't be

buying the same thing?

Well, why don't you

just eat what you get

and I'll eat what I get?

How about that?

What, are you

just gonna follow me

around the store

all night?

Yeah, I used to do it

all the time

when we first started dating.

What?

Yeah, I used to--

wherever we'd go,

I'd walk behind you.

You never noticed?

No.

Why would you do that?

Well, I liked how

every single guy

would be, you know,

looking at you,

every one that would go by,

and, you know, you were mine.

Don't do that.

Oh, well, well, well.

Oh, yeah.

Embarrassing me.

Are you married?

I used to count--

I used to count

Each one

that used to go by.

One. There's goes one.

There goes another one.

Don't do that.

What? Do what?

Look around.

Would you look around?

You see anybody looking at me?

Do you?

Do you see anybody

looking at me?

Yeah, I know you used

to do that,

and I know

when you stopped doing it too

and everybody else

stopped doing it.

come on, come on.

That's when you stopped.

Leave me alone.

In order to lucid dream,

you must first remember

your dreams.

It is necessary

to start a journal,

keeping a daily log

of your dreams.

You will start

to recognize patterns

and reoccurring

characteristics.

When dreaming,

these characteristics

can be used

to help tell yourself

that you are,

in fact, dreaming.

This will facilitate lucidity.

Oh.

Yeah, it's--

It's the same material

as my cleaning gloves.

Can I buy a hotdog here too?

Building's falling down.

Ah.

I forgot my clothes.

That's right, folks.

You will get everything,

I mean absolutely everything,

for $19.99.

If you call right now,

we'll throw in our bonus gift.

We've got copper

condiment shakers.

Holy cow, it's a $50 value.

Can you believe it?

Call now.

Can I help you?

Oh, yeah, I'm looking for--

I'm looking for a sleeping aid,

actually.

Over here.

They're all over here.

Okay.

Which ones you looking for?

Anything. Just anything.

Just something that will,

you know--

I use these.

Take a couple of these

before you go to sleep.

You're out

like a coma patient.

Mm-hmm, you use these, huh?

Yeah, from time to time.

They're good,

because you don't get

that sluggishness

in the mornings.

That's the problem

with some of them.

Sure, sure.

You fall asleep,

and then you can't wake up.

Yeah. Yeah, where are those?

You know, the...

Um...

Let's go find those.

I'm not sure

if my supervise--I--

Oh, just--

I can show them to you.

Okay.

I don't know if that--

Let's get some

of those puppies.

There's no harm in looking.

Hey.

Hey, what are you

doing up there?

Just replacing the shingles.

Oh, replacing some shingles.

Hey, when you're done up there,

will you come do my house?

I got to do the whole roof.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Hey, what do you think

yonight we go get

a couple of drinks?

Must be the tar.

Must be the what?

Yeah, I remember

when I was a kid

I was helping my mom

bring groceries to the car.

And it was summer,

and I remember the smell

of the hot asphalt.

I guess the tar of the shingles

reminds me of that.

I don't want a st--

are you listening to me?

I don't want a store credit.

I want a refund.

Sir, I don't know what else

we can do for you.

Okay, is your manager here?

Can I talk to him or her?

Well, I'm

the store manager, sir.

You're the manager.

Great.

Uh, 'cause I have

to tell you,

you really don't know

what you're doing.

Well, I've been--

I've been here

for seven years, sir.

Seven years?

Seven years?

That's great.

That's great.

I'm sorry.

You've been here

seven years, great.

Everyone, just stand back.

The big man's in charge.

Things happen

when he's around.

Sir, would you like

store credit or not?

Just take 'em, okay?

Okay.

Come over here.

Is anyone home?

I'll be quiet.

Come here.

Look at this.

What is it?

Uh--

Uh...

Hi.

Are you Bill?

Yeah.

I'm Officer Porter.

If I can have moment

of your time,

I'd like to ask you

a couple questions.

About what?

If I can get you to come down

to the station, then--

Is this about my neighbors?
