20:42And a Diet Pepsi.
20:44Thanks.
20:48We could take a cab home.
20:50Don't tell me you don't need a drink, because you need a drink.
20:53I don't need a drink.
20:53You need a drink.
20:55You don't need a drink.
20:56I call bullshit on that.
20:58I need sleep.
20:59That's what I need.
21:00Hey, cheers to the best tour yet.
21:04You leave me hanging here?
21:05I do not clean buses with fucking Diet Pepsi.
21:08Best book tour.
21:10What is that?
21:11Is that, like, the stomach cancer?
21:13You endure it.
21:14You do not toast it.
21:15Oh, how I hate all those paying customers showering me with love and respect.
21:19And why do I have to make so much money?
21:20Where?
21:22How do you bear it?
21:32Bunch of dummies.
21:34Wow.
21:35It's a ship that sells on sand?
21:38Purple sand?
21:39That is, uh, that's brilliant.
21:41The world needed that.
21:43And the world needed yet another female character who spends all her time mooning over some fucking
21:48proud and haughty pirate.
21:49He's a corsair, not a pirate.
21:52Mm.
21:53Mandovian spice fruit.
21:56Jesus, that, uh, it's like a bad episode of Star Trek.
22:00All right, so how about you throw everybody a change-up?
22:01Hmm?
22:02Green sand?
22:03Is that a purple?
22:05Maybe it's time for your serious book.
22:09Why not?
22:09You've been plugging away on it for five years.
22:12Four and a half, barely.
22:14Pardon me.
22:14So put it out already.
22:15I can't just...
22:16It...
22:18It needs polishing.
22:21Obviously.
22:21I mean, it does, right?
22:22But okay, take the next few months and polish.
22:25I'll work it out.
22:26I'll buy you some more time before your next Ycaro.
22:30Do you really think bitter chrysalis is that good?
22:34I think people will love it.
22:42You ever read, um, Finnegan's Wake?
22:44No.
22:46I tried, too.
22:48In grad school.
22:51It's probably great.
22:53I don't know.
22:55All I know is it made me miserable trying to get through it.
23:01I figure...
23:03You make even one person happy?
23:06Maybe that's not art.
23:09It's something.
23:17To Rabanne.
23:19Proud, haughty Rabanne.
23:29Did you bring your cigarette?
23:31Since when do you smoke?
23:33Since now?
23:35Made my rest all over town.
23:38And I hope I see the country.
23:41And everybody's like to have what I got.
23:44You pull them down.
23:45It's more than mine.
23:47It's what you find me here.
23:49That's my name.
23:56Are you trying to start a forest fire?
23:57Stop wasting my butane.
24:01Stop telling me how to smoke.
24:02I used to smoke in middle school.
24:04You know, you're supposed to light the other person's cigarette first, by the way.
24:06That's etiquette.
24:07Yeah?
24:07On a plane, do you put your own oxygen mask on first?
24:13Oh, you're going to hear it.
24:15Houston Mom, 78, says about Blood Song.
24:18Best Waikaro ever.
24:19All caps.
24:20And, uh...
24:2316, 17.
24:24No.
24:25Exclamation points.
24:26Wow.
24:26Is that a new record?
24:27It's got to be.
24:28Spoiler alert.
24:29Rabanne is back.
24:30And yummier that ever.
24:31Yummier than ever.
24:32Think she means?
24:33Mm-mm.
24:34You better believe he's got my permission to come aboard.
24:37I'd walk his plank anytime.
24:39I'm sensing an auto-comotif.
24:41A little bit.
24:41Think Houston Mom's off for meds again?
24:43I think Houston Mom would spread her legs for a grilled cheese sandwich.
24:48Huh.
24:51Look at that.
24:53What?
24:55What do you think they're doing?
24:57What's what doing?
24:58The planes.
25:00Look.
25:03I don't know.
25:04What, is that weird?
25:05Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
25:07All of them kind of parallel like that.
25:10Huh.
25:22Anybody else weigh in?
25:24That's all the usual suspects.
25:26Plus, a few new ones.
25:28Everybody loves it.
25:40You want to answer a few questions for them?
25:43What, now?
25:44No, no, no.
25:44Do one quick one.
25:45Let them know you're paying attention.
25:48Carol, my husband says Rabanne can be my hall pass, which I don't think is fair since Rabanne's not a
25:53real live person, although I wish he was.
25:55In real life, was there an actual man you were thinking of when you came up with Rabanne?
26:01That's hilarious.
26:05You want to tell the truth?
26:09Or do you have to lose?
26:13Put down George Clooney.
26:15What?
26:16Nothing.
26:17What's wrong with him?
26:17Nothing.
26:18Just, I mean, how about a hot Brazilian soccer player, someone with dreadlocks?
26:22Hip it up.
26:25Just put George Clooney.
26:27It's safer.
26:34Shit!
26:36Shit!
26:50Oh.
26:51Oh.
26:56Buddy, you okay, buddy?
27:05Oh, Jesus.
27:17Helen, should we call someone?
27:21Helen! Helen, stop looking at the goddamned fu-
27:37Helen?
27:41Oh, my God, Helen?
27:44Helen?

28:38I started holding it together.
28:38Oh, my God.

29:27Yes, yes.
29:28Please remain on the line.
29:32An operator will be with you shortly.
29:35Be free to see out the police, police.
29:37Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
29:38I hear he is on the line that operates on the roof of his head.
29:42Please read the Albuquerque.
30:08Please read the Albuquerque.

35:20Okay. Here we go.
35:25Helen? Helen? Helen?
35:31Helen!
35:37Hi.
35:39Baby.
35:47Hi.
35:56No, no, no, no, no.
35:57I'm sorry.
36:13Okay.
36:16No!
36:23God damn it!
36:25Ah, okay.
36:31Come on.
36:37Please help me.
36:39No, no, no. God, no.
36:41Come on. Please.
36:43Please help me.
37:15Oh my God.
37:32I don't know.
37:55I don't know.
38:25I don't know.
38:40I don't know.
38:42I don't know.
38:49I don't know.
38:53Get out!
38:54Go away!
38:59What the hell is wrong with you people?
39:02We just want to help Carol.
39:09Go!
39:18Go!
39:24Go!
39:25Go!
39:31Go!
39:33Go!
39:44Go!
39:47Go!
39:50Go!
39:51Go!
39:53Go!
40:13Go!
40:15Go!
40:16Go!
40:17Go!
40:19Go!
40:21Go!
40:22No, no, no, no.
41:03No, no, no, no.
41:22No, no, no.
41:30No, no, no.
41:45No, no, no.
42:04No, no, no.
42:19No, no, no.
42:28Oh, Christ, no.
42:48Come on, come on, come on, come on.
43:08No, no, no, no, no, no.
43:13Don't come any closer.
43:14We don't mean to scare you, Carol.
43:17You're in no danger.
43:18We really do want to help.
43:20Remember, April 2016, the last time you got locked out?
43:25You put a spare key under the flower pot.
43:28You put a spare key under the flower pot.
43:28The one on the right.
43:30Back there.
43:38There you go.
43:46Leave me alone.
43:48Leave me alone.
44:30We're very sorry for your loss.
44:33We're very sorry for your loss.
44:51You put a spare key under the flower pot.
45:02Could be.
45:06I don't know.
45:33I don't know.
46:12I don't know.
46:40I don't know.
46:42I don't know.
46:51I don't know.
47:21I don't know.
47:28I don't know.
47:42I don't know.
47:48I don't know.
48:12I don't know.
48:19I don't know.
48:27I don't know.
48:28I don't know.
48:58I don't know.
49:28I don't know.
49:32But we will put things right.
49:35I don't know.
50:00We feel like we're doing all the talking here.
50:15I don't know.
50:23Well, it's an alien invasion, right?
50:27It's an alien invasion, right?
50:27I mean, obviously, it's an alien invasion.
50:29Actually, no, it is not.
50:30You know, it's an alien invasion, right?
50:47And next door, it's an alien invasion, right?
50:48And next door, we're talking about it.
50:50I don't know.
50:54my mind? No, absolutely not. We couldn't do that if we wanted to. Who is we? Why is
51:00everybody suddenly we? You know, we could continue this after you've had a good
51:04night's sleep. Who is we? We is us. Just us. Who the fuck is us? Us. There are no
51:12aliens. None on this planet. We are, however, beneficiaries of extraterrestrial
51:18technology. Fourteen months ago, astronomers discovered a radio signal
51:23from 600 light years away. There's no telling how long it's been repeating,
51:28maybe throughout all of human existence. This signal, it's made up of four tones
51:34representing guanine, uracil, adenine, and cytosine. It's a recipe, it turns out, for
51:42a nucleotide sequence, RNA. Scientists have created this sequence in a lab. It is not
51:49a living thing, per se. It is more akin to a virus. Though it's not that exactly either.
51:55it's kind of a psychic glue capable of binding us all together.
52:02Okay. So if you're not aliens, who am I talking to right now? Who are you?
52:11This particular individual, this is Davis Taffler, Undersecretary of Agriculture for Farm Production
52:18and Conservation. But you are currently talking to every person on Earth, including Davis Taffler.
52:26We're all one. How does that work? We don't know exactly. It just does.
52:34Can I talk to the President? That individual passed away this evening, unfortunately, along with
52:39quite a few senior members of the United States government. Davis Taffler happened to be nearby
52:46and intact, and he was wearing a suit. So...
52:50So, so you're in charge now? You, the Undersecretary of...
52:54No, nobody's in charge, or everybody's in charge. Really, there's no such thing anymore.
52:59But, but, there has got to be others like me.
53:02Your situation is a rare one. There appear to be 11 other individuals like yourself.
53:08In, in Albuquerque?
53:10No, in the world.
53:12We have reached out to them. Like you, they are disoriented, understandably.
53:19Rest assured, Carol, we will figure out what makes you different.
53:24Figure it out? Why?
53:26So we can fix it. So you can join us.
53:32Oh, God.
53:37Carol, you're still there?
53:43You said my life was my own.
53:46It is.
53:47One hundred percent.
53:51So what happens when I say no?
53:55Carol, once you understand how wonderful this is...
54:00Carol?
54:19Hi! You've reached 505-796-6933.
54:24We're on the French Riviera drinking champagne.
54:27We are not here in our sweatpants screening your call.
54:29Make it a good one.
54:32Carol? Hello?
54:34It's us.
54:36Hello?
54:38We're sorry we upset you, Carol.
54:40We only want to make you happy.
54:42Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
54:44Shut up!
54:56I don't know.
