00:23You used to do circus work.
00:24I was a freak for a while.
00:26There's nobody smarter.
00:27Just because the eyes are so dull doesn't mean that there's not a machinery of wheels clicking away.
00:32There's nobody funnier.
00:33Say something funny.

01:20I can't do it.
01:22We had a speed dial to the funeral call.
01:24Yes.
01:24But there were laughs during those years.

01:30Being a dad, it's as genuine as his breath.
01:34Marty operates at the speed of joy.
01:39Should I pick the kids up?
01:40Oh, my God.
