851 I love this place, too. 852 I just -- I think it's time for us to face the music. 853 854 I never thought I'd be poor at this stage of my life. 855 You know, Carlos, 856 I've been broke a lot of times in my life, 857 But I've never been poor, 858 Because poor is just a state of mind. 859 And right now, 860 You and I are just... 861 Without funds? 862 Exactly. 863 I guess we could get an apartment, 864 Start over. 865 Who knows? 866 It might even be fun. 867 And once we're back on our feet... 868 We'll get a house as big as this one. 869 Bigger. 870 Ha ha. 871 So I get my wife this dog for her birthday. 872 A stray from the pound. 873 Cheapest gift I've ever gotten her, 874 And she loves it, so I'm a genius, right? 875 Then I find out it's got this weird blood disease. 876 Now I'm laying out $600 a month for doggie medicine 877 for this mutt, and I'm a genius, right?
878 Aw, don't be cynical. you did something nice, 879 made your wife happy. 880 Now... 881 let's talk about what's going to make you happy. 882 Yes, each new day in suburbia 883 brings with it a new set of lies. 884 The worst are the ones we tell ourselves
885 before we fall asleep. 886 We whisper them in the dark, 887 telling ourselves... 888 we're happy. 889 or... 890 that he's happy. 891 that we can change. 892 Or that he will change his mind. 893 We persuade ourselves we can live with our sins... 894 or that we can live without him. 895 Yes, each night before we fall asleep, 896 we lie to ourselves 897 in the desperate, desperate hope 898 that come morning, it will all be true.
